I can't figure out how to add a translation to the image itself on mobile here, but I'll just write it down here and someone else can implement it if they'd like. From right to left, top to bottom:
As i thought, your story is interesting.
Tell me more.
? [Falsehood-Illumination]*, what happened?
It's nothing...
SFX: ba-bump, ba-bump
*i assume this is a name or some other term specific to Honkai? Idk i dont play it, i just like translating things.
I think it's a temporal projection of the state of the tray throughout multiple usages into a single representation. Perhaps first the fish meal and then followed with a glass of wine and bread (the fish plate is distinct from the others in the cast of its shadow). It's clearly pulling from Italian futurism, compare it with Duchamp's Nude Descending a Staircase, No. 2 or Balla's Dynamism of a Dog on a Leash and you'll see similar effects, perhaps executed better.
Message for the 12th appeal, its becoming too meta:

Messages: "Why?", "every day until you like it", "i am contractually obligated to skip", "stop appealing this shit", "if there is a god then explain how humans still appeal this post", "People think our reactions to this are really fucking funny is the reason.", "<><", "glug glug glug °:•.𓆟", "feesh", and "I'll give a positive feedback to whoever approves this".
as someone who doesn't twitter i don't even know what this image is trying to say
it's probably going to get deleted in 3 days because it's too badly drawn. the artist can't even draw a necktie right. idk why you would upload this to danbooru
Why not, putting aside the other imagery I thought Mallory looked cute
I don't really agree that the inclusion of the pin by itself means the IMAGE is expressing support of trans rights. I am sure the author does, but in the image itself, it's just there and isn't being commented on.
I didn't say any of that. Your original argument was that Rowling's views weren't mentioned. I'm saying they're indirectly mentioned through the pin. Just as some pro-trans people may avoid the series because of her views (and the groups she chooses to finance), some anti-trans people may support her series in part because they agree with her views. That's who the pin is aimed at. It's based on the assumption that Harry Potter fans are transphobes that would freak out at anything trans-related being mixed in.
It doesn't matter what the artist's views actually are. It's a troll post. The pin is part of the trolling, and based on the comments above, it was obviously effective.
And a trans flag pin only says "this character is trans".
It doesn't even say that. It's ambiguous whether the character is being portrayed as trans or just a trans ally. Either one would be sufficient to piss off the intended audience.
Which I do not see as political anymore than I would see an image of two men kissing as political.
That's great and all, but when a significant number on one side think transness isn't real, that they're just mentally ill at best or perverts at worst, even a simple acknowledgement of their existence is political. It shouldn't be, but that's just how it is right now.

But the first few comments were calling for this post to be removed because "political topics get in the way of our engagement" (direct quote). If you're saying just having a trans pin in the image is political, then doesn't that apply to every other image in Danbooru with a trans pin, trans flag, etc?
