#and ofc with flaws there’s also good things too

Some reviews on a handful of popular anime

This won’t be too in-depth, so basically a thoughts dump. But thinking about it, in terms of more popular anime + anime movies, I felt a bit let down seeing a few awhile back. My memories on each will vary in range, though it’s worth a shot to get down the mental notes I took.

In terms of anime, I wanted to talk about parts of “Komi Can’t Communicate” (which I was told beforehand was a story exploring a character with social anxiety) and “Horimiya”. Both did some funny things, both had new/refreshing takes. But likewise, both stories had other issues that made it a bit hard to generally enjoy. So, I’ll start with those 2.

1) Komi Can’t Communicate

In “Komi Can’t Communicate,” I felt kinda bugged how the MC was treated while Komi sort of rebounds on the impossibly-pretty-therefore-everyone-is-obsessed-with-her situation. Some of the classmates start off cold to Tadano (the MC) and very generously nice to Komi on very superficial standards. I guess I expected social anxiety to generally be explored in its alienating aspect over reverence. Though you could say that many of the classmates initially didn’t see Komi as an equal human being genuinely. The random instances of meanness towards the MC and superficial treatment towards Komi threw me off heavily because not being able to communicate to anyone and struggling to fit into a new, very judgmental schooling environment are some serious issues.

Komi and Tadano, the 2 main characters.

It was still pretty hard to see people so angry at the main character for existing, even some of the later friends of Komi. My SO who enjoyed the show more than me did tell me of Komi’s group of friends, only 1 has gone extremely far (like, beyond the brink of acceptable comedy) and even they have seen repercussions for harmful actions. But it feels weird to have things bounce back so lightly bc the ML ended up being the butt of jokes. At the same time, it’s hard to deny how the concept of a socially-phobic girl who struggles to talk and speak to those around her — yet being idolized by those same people as almost a status symbol over a human being — was still interesting overall. Also just the desire to make genuine friends, despite struggling with your anxieties around others.

Minus the yandere girl who takes things too far, there’s genuinely nice moments — Komi opening up, Komi’s wholesome family (+ etc.). And some genuinely funny characters/situations, like the blond guy (I forgot there names; it’s been awhile) who looks scary on the outside but is also nervous inwardly. Overall, it wasn’t my cup of tea even though it wasn’t bad??

2) Horimiya

*Okay, so technically I didn’t start with the anime. I read the manga but I admittedly do really like the author’s art style!

“Horimiya” also starts with a concept that could’ve been elaborated on and lead to interesting scenarios — mainly the 2 MC’s living somewhat of a different life outside of school than their schoolmates would expect. In that category, it’s sort of like a more recent rendition of a “Switch Girl”-esque romcom story. It starts with a refreshing confession that happens basically the beginning. No mishaps or drawn out tensions & dramas beforehand (which could be done well too in other stories but also super super common). However, after that the original concept of a double life gets thrown away and the story gets super super slice-of-lifey. Which isn’t bad in general (a lot of times the humor was fun). Though TBH it generally felt directionless after, and not in a relaxing way I expected from SOL but sorta just… hard to continue? I got a bit bored and struggled to keep reading.

I also had issues with some of the gags (like the girl-beating-up-the guy/basically-abusing-him-played-off-as-a-joke trope) and the relationship norms (just in general how jealousy and possessiveness seemed normalized/expected). The violence was a bit… much? The LGBT jokes like on same-sex relationships was too much also. And it was generally a bit buggy to see Miyamura constantly get physically punished by Hori for situations he didn’t understand/couldn’t have, or situations he was even right in.

The main focus/relationship was what stagnated the work. And already, it was unfortunately the relationship we were supposed to pay attention to most wasn’t ideal for Miyamura, had little chemistry (my subjective opinion here though), and sorta just dredged out. I’d much prefer a lot of the duller moments to be exchanged for other things. Some of my suggestions being on how they could’ve elaborated on characters like Shu’s sister, Sakura, Yanagi etc.

But I do feel one of the best strongpoints of the story was when Hori and Miyamura were at the Hori’s residence. The scenes were comforting and happy, seeing how the entire family and Miyamura spent time together and had dinners. I also ended up rooting for Sakura because of how grounded and down-to-earth she was. So the SOL moments in this wasn’t too bad of a thing, and there were decent aspects and a few likeable characters. It just wasn’t enough to make it great in particular.

Now, in terms of movies…..

…it’s got to be 2 that I watched awhile ago. A handful of things left me leaning towards feeling indifferent at the end of the day, and those were “A Silent Voice” and “Your Name.” Both had massive debates in online circles over which was the best anime movie of the year, but both fell a bit flat for me personally despite all the build-up. For “A Silent Voice” though, I do think the discussions it generated were pretty important because it resonated with a lot of people’s personal experiences (so it isn’t something I mean to discount & the themes it touched upon made it a bit more interesting).

3) A Silent Voice

I think “A Silent Voice” had a lot more that could be said of it, both good + unhelpful towards its prime topic of bullying. IMO, it’s interesting to have the main character be a former perpetrator-turned victim. I think we’re able to see a lot of nuance, namely how even the formerly-unsympathetic side can feel remorse, can grow up with low self-esteem, can even be a victim themselves. We see the situation flip, people change, and people with the capacity to want to be better. And we also see how fast a society/group of people are, in terms of ignoring the main problem to ostracize a scapegoat — while trying to shirk facing consequences or guilt of their own. It’s especially interesting & heart-wrenching that we go to see the life-long trauma inflicted to both Shoya and Shouko. All the while their other perpetrators are ignored (like Kazuki, who bullied both). We also see terrible people being terrible in different ways, from the more visibly terrible Ueno to the self-victimizing Kawai who will put on an innocent face — even tears — all while pretending she has no idea of horrible things she enabled/even partook in.

But where it goes very, very wrong is structuring it out to be a love story of a victim with her former bully. Though I liked the concept of the former bully try to make amends — genuinely feeling guilt and wanting to do better — writing it in that direction had very Stockholm Syndromey-vibes. They could’ve eventually become friends; they didn’t need to develop romantically and the situation honestly didn’t requisite such a relationship. You could argue that people do get Stockholm Syndrome and start feeling that way when given decent treatment by those who’ve formerly hurt them, but then it would’ve been written a bit differently. Like not really emphasizing romantic feelings, but rather a mix of situations and confusing problems, where a crush wasn’t centric to the themes presented.

The aforementioned friend group, strung together by the end of the movie. I think there was a few more but I don’t remember quite clearly?

The ending especially was very uncomfortable where Kawai was presented as a good person trying to pep-talk Shouko and all the main characters are in a now-formed friend group, sort of just mashing together. Ueno’s issues and callousness towards Shouko were never resolved, yet they were in there together. It was presented as a happy ending, but I think a lot of the characters fundamentally had issues (like did Shoya honestly feel good around all these people??? Did Kawai basically BS to look/feel like a good person while never owning up?? Is Shouko going to be re-traumatized around a horrible person like Ueno??).

All of the above combined made me leave the movie with general discomfort. Though at the time, I couldn’t put into words what was wrong? It took awhile for me to think the situation wasn’t that great for Shoya and Shouko, still.

Onto our last review dumping!

4) Your Name

“Your Name” is the last anime franchise I wanted to talk about, and I don’t deny the animation and art were pretty amazing! Like you could see the gruesome and tedious effort put into every little scene.

Seriously though, the picturesque backgrounds are where most Makoto Shinkai works shine! Though I didn’t love this movie as much as others did, it does really make me curious of his past & future works.

But as a story? I don’t think it had much depth. Which doesn’t mean it wasn’t enjoyable, because it was still fun watching. It was just lackluster for a movie that wanted to build up the emotional aspects.

Of course, it has some good build-up and somewhat of an atmosphere for the deeper emotions in the world. There was also an underlying thread about traditions vs. the modern world, what is lost vs. what we must preserve. Personally, those messages don’t resonate with me but they are things can could be worked with and built up pretty well. We see it in how Mitsuha wants to move away from her slow, mostly-rural hometown to pursue a life in the more bustling, modern city of Tokyo. Her background? Living with her primary caretaker — her grandma, the main female figure of Mitsuha’s life. Her grandma wants her to partake in the spiritual traditions of their Shinto shrine, from shrine maiden rituals to watching the grandma sew on an old loom that’s now nothing more but a loss art. And then we get the strained family relationships: How her dad abandoned his duties to the shrine for a career in politics after their mother died, while Mitsuha (now older) generally resents/dislikes his presence as an uptight bureaucrat vying for his image. Deep down, she doesn’t feel either of their lifestyles are ideal. But like her father, wants to shed aside traditions for something more modern (such as a big city life). We end up with that dichotomy, which is a strong basis to begin with.

The Shinto shrine maiden ceremony.

So with all of that, we generally expect to have insight into the family life and background of Taki (the ML). But instead, besides his school friends and work crush, we don’t even hear or see much of his dad. His home life is left an absolute blank sheet, with his character staying incomplete. He’s a blank slate with nothing but a spot for the viewers to project themselves into. He has a job. He has an oddly specific hobby of drawing detailed pictures of lots of landscapes and structures. That second one is especially interesting — like wtf, he can draw complex structures by memory?? Yet it doesn’t get elaborated upon at all. Nothing does.

So the love story follows. There’s a lot of emotional scenes, body switches, disastrous current events, memories forgotten at the end of the day before they all meet up again. But nothing quite tied me to the ML nor even Mitsuha. I did feel invested in them meeting each other. Yet as people, I wasn’t quite invested in Taki nor fond of either. Which for a love story, is bad because you’d hope to see the other half being built up with solid background and characterizations. Leaving his life stories empty felt like it meant he was someone we could project ourselves into (and perhaps that was the purpose as is in many romance genre stories?) but it made it a lot weaker and less elaborated. Being a core, fundamental detail and all.

On my end conclusions:

I really thought each of these stories had more potential. Either to be in-depth, nuanced, interesting, or better-structured (and/or needing a few character reforms). Also, I fully see why someone would enjoy a large chunk of them or feel inspired by them. Sadly, each fell flat for me.

Though of the 4, I often think of “A Silent Voice” because regardless of its flaws, such a work is important at beginning a lot of discussions — such as the hardcore school bullying in Japan or bullying in general. And for “You Name,” it really introduced me to Makoto Shinkai works and a few of his other movies, so I don’t deny the talent behind his skills and creativity in a lot of instances. It was mainly those that stuck with me?

At the end of the day, I hope I elaborated my thoughts on what I found good in each and what made me not feel as invested in them! And of course, if you felt other things were done better or ended up liking them more, that’s valid too and up for discussion!!

[sparring-spirals]

This might sound like it’s straying into RPF territory, but thoughts on each of the players’ (including Matt’s dm style) playing style (ie: how they play their characters.)

Hmmm. Tbh, I don't think I'm knowledgable enough about actual game mechanics/playstyles to provide super meaningful analysis on that front, but I do like characters and how they're created and played and grown. So. I'll cheat a little and talk a little about that?

(To avoid straying into weird territory I'll be trying to keep this as speculation-free as possible and focus on some particular character elements I've noticed and appreciate, but it'll include cast appreciation too.)

this got SO FUCKING LONG because I was having a good time. sorry. enjoy?

Ive spoken about this before, but Marisha's characters often have arcs that are deeply self contained and circle around personal growth and triumph and healing in ways I really enjoy. Her characters do tend to be very powerful, which- nice- but more often than not the biggest factor for growth- and her characters always have phenomenal growth arcs- is about overcoming internal stumbling blocks and demons, improving as a person and settling into it. Which. Spells exciting things for Laudna. 👀 I also love how much she physically embodies each of her characters. Delightful to see. Post-nap Beau, mildly delirious Beau, Laudna drunk-and-woozy-from-blood-loss, Laudna hiding behind her hair.... fantastic.

Liam's characters are so fucking full of love, and passion, in ways that wrap around and shape them, both good and bad. And like yes, fantastic and distinct explorations of grief, yes, thoughtful and nuanced portrayals of loss and trauma and upheaval. But- honestly, looking at Caleb, looking at Vax, looking at Orym. They're all just Lads With Feels, yknow? Good lads who love people so damn much, and feel things so strongly and fully, for better or for worse. He also embodies his characters so fully that you feel that fullness to your core. Method acting.

Taliesin's characters are firstly, aesthetic as hell. He also does something really neat with characters and pride and inflexible or presumptous worldviews. And alongside that, each of his characters can beautifully demonstrate points about people who speak well and charismatically and reassuringly and how that really correlates so little about how much they should be trusted. (Cad, this includes you.) There's pages and pages of analysis that can be done about each of his characters and themes about authority, and pride, and self assurance, and judgements and assumptions that feels very intentional, but his characters also feel very human with it all. There are layers there. And the characters manage to not feel overburdened with it! Masterful. And Taliesin is consistent as hell with it, even if he's not always In character like Liam might be.

Sam. Fucking Sam Riegel. Bard at heart. His characters always, always, have layers, without fail, and Sam is enough of a jokester that you can't take everything done in character as hard evidence of analysis- but you can definitely take more of it than you think. And if there's a specific detail that is slightly funny but seems almost too specific, you can rest assured it will probably rip your heart out later. (Veth hates water! haha! -ah shit-) There's a nice level of thoughtfulness there with just enough actual jokes thrown in to keep you off balance, which makes some of the analysis hell but damn if they aren't good characters.

Ashley is- first of all, extremely funny, okay, there's an element of Chaos™ that I think was present in both Yasha and Pike to an extent that is truly blossoming in Fearne, it is delightful. Her characters tend to be funny in the way of deeply absurd, unexpected statements said in completely genuine tones. And it's hilarious. It also lends itself very well to the other aspect of her characters I enjoy, which has to do with them feeling deeply genuine. It is not precisely about honesty- especially with Fearne- it is about characters who say things with a sort of earnestness, who present themselves with a levek of honesty they can't quite help, even when they're lying. Its good for a comedic streak- ("Your cat is? Vibrating?" "I lied :)") and then just as easily be completely heartwrenching. (Yasha, wrecked and angry and guilty. Fearne, quietly telling Dorian, "I'll never forget you."). She plays both sides of it so well.

I'll admit I'm less familiar with Grog, but Fjord was, admittedly, one of my favorite characters from C2 and has one of my favorite charscter arcs and growth of all time. Travis is so fucking good at blending humor and heart in his characters. Like, comedic timing and sense off the charts, instinctive slapstick, which I think can distract from how consistently thoughtful his characters can be? I dunno. But also, I'm aware some people thought Fjord was boring at the start of C2 and then I think about how fucking hilarious he was through the latter half of it- falling on his face, making a fool of himself, using healing spells for 1-2 hitpoints. And go absolutely feral thinking about how that was a reflection of his growth as a character, about how his confidence in himself and being comfortable being him and not an imitation of someone else meant he felt more confident in making a fool about himself, and how he balanced that humor so well with Fjord growing into leadership and comfort with his role as a voice of reason and- oops this became Fjord meta.

Travis has really good comedic timing but also can spin that on a dime for the most heartfelt, gentle, thoughtful conversations and it is unfair how good he is at it. We're even seeing it with Chetney already. Incredible.

and. Look. I'm sure anyone following me is unsurprised to know that I have. An extreme love for Laura Bailey characters and how they're constructed. And part of this is definitely verging on like, personal preference- I have a specific weakness for characters who are trying so fucking hard to keep it together and be Good and Kind and charming, and who might be doing it VERY convincingly but are also, in one form or another, white knuckling it and On The Edge. Characters that Smile With Teeth (but are also genuinely Trying Their Best). I DUNNO.

But I think it's a testament to Laura truly thinking things through with her characters and how they would feel and react and also fuck things up, and then 100% committing to them. Strong traits as both strengths and flaws. Vex's charm distilled to an arrow point. Jester's happiness being intentional and powerful and terrifying. Imogen being anxious and empathetic and also ruthless under pressure. Her characters are always impressive and flawed in ways that make so much sense, that line up with each other and fall into place and she commits to them fully. They'll say something or do something bad and you'll be like: OOF but also OF COURSE and like. LIKE. isn't that great.

And as a bonus, we don't get to see Matt as a player often and I think NPC building has a level of worldbuilding integrated that can't be ignired. But whenever I see him as a PC he is often-

1- having such a good time, love that for him.

2- Clearly someone so well associated with the rules and uses all of that knowledge and mastery for tomfoolery or specific purposes.

3- making such Lads™. Good bois.

im mostly thinking about Dariax, actually. Dariax was so good, and so complex while also having no more than 3 thoughts at a time. i miss u dariax. ilu.

Matt's characters are a delight, is what I'm saying.

.....

okay this got unreasonably long i think it can probably be boiled down to I Love Complex Characters Who Act Consistently With Some Level Of Characterization and everyone in the cast works so hard to ensure their characters feel fully realized and act consistently and in ways that make sense. And I love characters who act consistently. my bread and butter. and they're all good at different aspects of it but. 👌

#wow this got WAY off topic. but listen the character building and growth in cr is like. Phenomenal. there are flaws and etc etc but. cmon. #im just a real sucker for when characters are flawed and 3d and Do Shit because Given Who They Are. Ofc they would. #critical role #spar speaks #ask away! #meta #? #cr cast #should i tag the full cast? feels a bit strange. i hooe this answer didnt come off too weird. #this is also like. unreasonably long. i expect a max of like 2 people to get all the way down here. congrats! also sorry. #the cr cast enjoy making characters and sharing stories. i think that's pretty clear. i think they're all pretty good at it. :) #also this post is Absolutely Not COmprehensive and was not intended to be. i slammed this out in one sitting and #now i need to run to pick someone up from the airport. feel free to add on with things you appreciate! but i definitely missed stuff bc this #was just like. personal singular snapshot of stuff off the top of my head h a

[gayemoji]

make up your own mind, mate, if you ask for people to tell you what was "good" or "bad", you're just going to get biased responses from both sides. People not thinking for themselves is why this whole situation ended up as big as it did and ended with people getting doxxed. No-one can tell you what to think, or at least they shouldn't.

anyway it is absolutely ok to still be indifferent, if that's your true thoughts, then that's your true thoughts. and brushing it off as 'bullshit twitter stuff' is also a point of view that a lot of other people have as well that you can also take on if you wish.

i just heavily, heavily encourage you to just. sit on the information for a day or two, take the time to really think about it and how you feel, you'll be better off, and so will everyone else.

ik you mean well anon but i was joking w the 'tell me how to think' :') it was hyperbole to try and bait some more perspectives, especially from people who actually HAVE opinions. poking the bear if you will.

i dont think 'seeking out biased takes' is inherently. bad ? i think taking the video at face value is honestly worse imo. as much as i dont care nOw id sort of like to care. i feel like i lack critical information, with exactly one (1) perspective from the sole guy trying to super prove he's not a piece of shit. i want a full picture. and while i wait for people to write their extensive overviews i can at least see what the kneejerk fanatics from any and all sides are saying, so i can go 'well thats interesting new info i wonder where it came from' or 'well thats obviously wrong because .....'

enjoy your day ! & cheers for looking out for me but i am capable of thinking for myself lol 🥂

#hears to youtube drama 🤡🥂 #i also have some emotional stakes. #i was IN in mcyt fandom a few years ago. and still follow/followed by some people from then #a few trusted mutuals that from other posts i have seen i would call reasonable humans #so i was curious if any of them had any thoughts :] get some peer review on this mess #i will say i was blasé in my post so youre right to tell me to noT do the confirmation bias thing lol #asks #anon #mcyt #in the tags of the post i also put what /i/ thought was good&bad #im looking for peer review on me too. bc ik my apathetic approach is also flawed. #ofc not caring and disengaging is a perfectly valid position . me i want to get caught up though 🤷‍♀️ call it a bad idea and id agree lol. #theres a small part of my brain thats maybe just a little invested in the drama of the space still :')

[txttletale]

can you elaborate on the reasons ? what criticisms do you disagree with?

criticisms i disagree with:

"they character assassinated jane" amiguita there was no character to assisnate.

"they character assassinated dirk" dirk is at his most interesting and likeable ever and is just about the only redeeming thing about these

"they were just written to spite the fans" if true tht would have been Epic, and Based. but they very obviously werent

"its too violent and sexual for cheap shock humour" did you. read homestuck, the web comic? what were you Expecting... also like it or not the sexual content isnt just random or gratuitous it is obviously trying to be a conclusion to the whoel coming-of-age theme of homestuck as a work.

"so-and-so is out of character" homestuck characters are malleable little dolls that can be rearranged to suit the narrative at a whim. this is true about all fictional characters ofc but it is like explicitly textually metaphysically true in homestuck

my criticisms:

the heavy-handed political messaging is fucking tedious and awful and so profoundly of its time in a bad way. its clearly a reaction to trump but it doesnt have anything interesting to say about him or fascism or racism or anything, really, except, um. Cheeto in the white house?. the whole Evil Jane plot is too stupid and contrived for the sake of the satire to take seriously but also its awful satire written by liberals who think fascism as invented in 2016 by the orange man

god can we fucking talk about how fucking embarassing the obama shit is. jesus fucking christ. for a start it's a callback to a running jhoke in homestuck that is straight up just super racist. and they decide to pivot from the joke being 'its funny that theres a black president', which is good, but they pivot it to 'obama seems so heroic and magical now that we're stuck with the Orange Man', which, admittedly, is better than Being Racist, but also sucks shit. he killed people amiguitas.

'post-canon' is cheap bullshit. like, the work makes a big deal about tryng to talk about What Canon Is, without ever acknowledging the concept of, like, IP law. claiming to just be a non-canon continuation like any other when it's made by people with the Official Exclusive Legal Rights just feels hollow and detooths any liberatory/deconstructive potential there. unironically my opinion of it would go up like tenfold if it had been actually published in AO3 instead of just joking about it.

in general i think that all of the attempt to deconstruct fiction or storytelling is rooted in a really weird and flawed model of storytelling. a lot of it seems to be taking an extremely long route to writing something bad on purpose and then saying 'see, if you wrote something like this, it would be bad'. Okay. i like deconstructive collapsing narrative shit in e.g. if on a winter's night a traveller because i think calvino has trenchant and interesting insights about literature and storytelling. i do think hussie also has those but they essentially dropped and explored all of them in homestuck and the epilogues just seem like an attempt to connect ohomstuck's disparate and contradictory approaches to Narrative into one overarching schemata and then crtiique that schemata, which i think is a doomed project that results in little of interest to me.

[the-bi-fangirl-biatch]

GUYS GUYS I understand why we're angry at aziraphale for the ending ok? i get it, i've been humiliated like that before after baring my heart to someone. i understand that it was unfair to crowley, who risked everything so they could be together, who now has his walls built higher than ever. it hurts, i get it

but do NOT act as if he did it for no reason or that it was out of character.

in my interpretation, aziraphale was doing it to protect crowley. he thinks that if only they were on the "good" side, they'd be safe and have a peaceful existence. it wasn't just aziraphale betraying/leaving crowley solely for a promotion. with that promotion came benefits, and what was his main reason? so that he could make crowley an angel again. it could be because he still can't accept him being evil, but i saw it as him remembering how happy he was to create things. and he just wanted to be with him for all eternity, and in doing so he thinks this is the way to secure it

he is still very much traumatized by heaven. he's been talked down to, dismissed, and mistreated. it's like an abusive parent/partner who you still find yourself going back to no matter how hard it is to stay there. because it's familiar. because deep down, even if you want to run away from it, you still seek their approval. because no matter how much he loves crowley and how crowley loves him, it will not fix it! love does not undo abuse! it will still be there even if they run away together. aziraphale would still have half of his heart in heaven.

and finally: he is inherently good!! it is in his nature to seek the best in people, to love others and forgive despite being mistreated! that's why he still wanted to protect gabriel/jim even if he was mean to aziraphale. it's his fatal flaw, being kind, especially when people don't deserve it. so i can't blame him in trying to fix heaven. it's a rotten system, i get it, but he wanted to make a difference. and he knew that crowley could too, remember all the flashbacks where crowley actually did the right thing? he wants more angels to be like that!

i don't understand why people are saying it's out of character for him. it's completely in character! it's what he would do, especially when he's in this mindset of not being good enough for heaven and also wanting to protect crowley and be together for eternity. if you don't get that, then you don't understand his character at all.

tldr:

1) heaven was a way to protect himself and crowley forever,

2) his love for, and the love from, crowley isn't enought to undo abuse, and

3) he is the most human angel ever, ofc he wants to fix things.

it is totally in character for him. do not bully my baby anymore please and thank you

#STOP blaming aziraphale like that please #they've both gone thru so much #it isn't fair to villainize either of them for their actions #good omens 2 #good omens #good omens season 2 #good omens 2 spoilers #good omens season 2 spoilers #aziraphale good omens #crowley good omens #aziraphale x crowley #crowley x aziraphale #ineffable husbands #azicrow #aziracrow #tag talk #michael sheen #david tennant #david tennant and michael sheen #neil gaiman

Yes! Finally someone said it!

At first when I saw the interaction I went- hey he's being such a jerk- Ohhhhh wait! This is literally him wanting us to stay soo fricking bad, but Mr.Pridey McPridepants just can't admit it. OFC HE WOULD TRY TO IMPRESS US (even if this emotionally constipated man can't differ b/w chivalry and being an asshole). He's trying to so bloody hard to sweet talk his way into us staying. Even if he's being forceful and manipulative; it's because he's so shit scared of giving us the choice and then us choosing to go cuz he KNOWS wherever we going must mean a lot to us especially when we are going such great lengths to return.

Not to say, that this behavior is ok or good but at the end of the day isn't obey me about flawed and morally grey characters? Even the ANGELS aren't perfect and morally sound, and if I dare say, sometimes they make decisions even crueler than the demons. We are literally talking about the AVATAR OF PRIDE HERE! XD

Literally as soon as you look past the image that he literally puts up cuz he wants ppl to see him that way, you will realize that he really is just a soggy, pathetic man who can't put aside his pride to ask us to stay like a normal person XD Also to point out a lot of ppl LIKE Levi and Mammon BECAUSE OF their pathos lol.

I have always seen that there is SUCH a double standard when it comes to him. Ppl say that he's being too fake and only cares about his image and not his brothers, but when he does show his softer side, they say he's not being genuine or he's pushy or something of the sort. What most ppl fail to see is that he loves his brothers and mc, probably even more than his own life but he's just so bad at showing it because he is held back by his own trauma and sin. While that does not make him innocent... that does make him like his brothers. He acts this way because thats literally the only way he knows how to keep things in his control and keep his family safe and ppl fall for it ... LIKE IT'S NOT THE REAL HIM! TvT

I have this theory (might be a hot take idk?) that most of the ppl playing obey me are pretty young, so they don't like Lucifer because they are anti-authority (I also am, its not a bad thing) but this man is anything but Authority and Power. I might be a lucifer apologist lol but all I am saying is for ppl to look at him with the same open-minded lens they see the other brothers with and you might find him a lot more bearable and dare I say... likeable?

Phew, sorry for rambling in your inbox but I have some strong feelings for that stupid old man XD Also, this feels a lot similar to how expectations are so high and rigid for the eldest sibling whereas these same expectations become a lot less severe for the other siblings...

Firstly, thank you for calling him a soggy pathetic man, that gave me a good chuckle.

And YES! All of this, 100% yes. He doesn't want to admit that there are other things out there more important than him. Not just because of his Pride, but because he finally let someone else behind the walls he put up around his heart (we saw this around Nightbringer lessons 11 and 12, when he was ready to be THE enemy to protect his family, only to end up admitting to himself that he cared about MC just as much) and now, after all that, MC is determined to leave. I'm sure somewhere in his mind, he feels like he's failed.

He's puffing up his feathers as big as he can and screaming "look at me, look at me, look at me"! The big peacock man is flailing.

He's afraid. He's hurt. And so now these weird (and problematic) safety mechanisms are being put in place to protect himself.

Things in his mind are SO 'not fine' that now he's parading around trying to convince everyone (including himself) that everything is perfectly fine! Everything is perfect, everything is great, the outfits he chose are pristine, the food he settled on is text-book. It feels like he's following some sort of guide, like even the things he's saying have been pulled from a novel somewhere. It's not quite the way he normally speaks. If everything can play out the way he sees it in his head, there won't be room for error. Right?

And this isn't new behavior either. It was the ENTIRE plot of season 1 in Shall We Date. Lucifer locked Belphie away because he was worried of what might happen to his sibling. But in a way, 'protecting' his brother was mostly protecting himself.

He's worked so hard to create what he has, that he can't stand the idea of losing it all.

There's also a whole spiel I could go into about how everyone in the family fills a certain "group" role that keeps everything balanced and running smoothly (as smooth as it can get for them). For example, Mammon is the energy of the group, the drive. Beel is the motivator, the encourager. Asmo is the dreamer, etc. Lucifer has to be the guider, the manager, the authoritarian.

While, yes on multiple occasions, he's dismissed his brother's wild antics outright, there have been so many other instances where his brothers say "I want ___" and he gives them the advice or the structure they need to accomplish it successfully. OR even ending up providing it himself should his brother's wishes be genuine (Mammon's car for example).

When he's more on his own, he can drop that uptightness completely. As we see again in Shall We Date, when they're taken to the video game world, and when he doesn't have the worries and responsibilities placed onto his shoulders, he's capable of skipping classes to take a nap on the roof. And fully enjoys it, with a smile on his face and everything.

At the very root of him, while he needs to fulfill the controlling dynamic, he does not want to. At least not completely.

I've always known this, but Nightbringer actually gave me a big confirmation boost! In Wanders Whereabouts, Barbatos gives Lucifer a video call in which he tells Lucifer about all the recent trouble the brothers have gotten themselves into. Barbatos then proceeds to let Lucifer know that as their guardian, the eldest needs to essentially work harder to keep them in line. Then Barbatos sends the damages bill to him.

If he isn't constantly keeping his siblings in line, he takes most of the blame!

And thirdly, I think you are correct, yes. I think especially with the addition of Nightbringer and the anime, a good portion of the fandom is a younger demographic, which doesn't surprise me (listen I played Mystic Messenger when I was a preteen/teen, I was there when the dark texts were written). And a lot of what appeals to that demographic is the coming-of-age, rebelling against conformity sort of story.

And, I want to repeat, my initial post that you are referring to wasn't meant to come off as a "oh everyone is so stupid thinking Lucifer is this way, you should all love him" but more of trying to explain the fullness of his character since it can be harder to spot.

Like, people in the fandom almost always completely understand Mammon. He's not just, "tough and grumbly man who steals things". He's someone who struggles with admitting his own feelings, someone who lets his ambitions blind him from the troubles they can cause, and someone who at the end of the day, loves his family more than anything. And most everyone in the fandom fully understands this.

And yet, with Lucifer, a lot of people tend to take him exactly at face value.

There's a lot of things I could explain about him needing to play a "Parental Guardian Figure" while also just being their brother at the same time, and in a lot of media where the older sibling is forced to become a guardian, they get a lot of flack for not doing it correctly.

Anyways, I could ramble on and on and on about Lucifer as a character, but I think this a good chunk of condensed thoughts. And thank you for sending this over, I always love a good Inbox ramble! Especially about my favorite grumpy, sleep-deprived man <3

“the 2012 family isn’t abusive” and “the 2012 family all have toxic traits that can affect each other badly” are both takes that can coexist

i think out of all the tmnt shows (except maybe rise, but i could go back on that if i think about it for more than two seconds; this post isn’t about them tho), 2012 has the most dysfunctional family.

this is not a criticism tho. it’s an observation and it can lead to interesting storytelling.

splinter in 2012 suffers from ptsd and it affects how he teaches his children and how he views the world.

he’s been through a lot and was lead to believe he lost his first child.

so yes it’s not shocking that he’d make bad decisions as a parent.

he’s not a bad person by any means, but his attitude about strangers, enemies, and relationships are off. he shows favoritism towards leo, though that’s not his intention. he fails to give his other children the attention they need. etc etc

so it’s not that surprising that his children also gained flaws that affect each other negatively.

leo is dedicated to his training, which isn’t bad but it gave him an ego. he believes he’s the good example, that he’s better skilled than his brothers. he has good skills that make him the best choice as leader, but sometimes his ego and his authority make him downplay his brothers’ opinions and chastise their choices.

it’s mostly seen in his arguments with raphael and donatello. raphael is stubborn, but he values his family like leo does. their opinions on how to protect their family and do the right thing aren’t always on the right page, which frustrates them. raphael goes through growth that makes him a lot more patient with leonardo, but he still calls leo out when leo makes bad decisions, and leo often refuses to listen to him bc he’s the leader. he’s in charge. why should he listen? which is not what a leader should be and he needs to learn that over the course of the series (he,, rlly doesn’t but i digress).

as for donatello and leonardo. donatello is smart and leonardo knows that and ends up using that to his advantage. he puts a lot of pressure on donnie and overworks him. donatello is smart so he has to be the one to track things down, fix mutations, learn what is going wrong. and when donatello’s attempts go wrong, leonardo gets frustrated and orders donatello to just. do better. keep working on it. since donatello struggles with insecurities, this is just added to it and he is super hard on himself when he fails.

having so much pressure put on him by splinter certainly doesn’t help his attitude either.

is he hard on michelangelo? eh not rlly but mikey’s a nothing character so moving on

raphael very obviously has his temper. he’s probably the most criticized of the team so his faults are kinda obvious. he has the most growth in the show tho so i’m not gonna go into too much depth.

obviously his temper and habit to get violent when he’s angry affects his brothers negatively. tho he’s mostly physically violent with leonardo or michelangelo. with donatello they usually are more verbal ig? when raphael is rough with donatello, it’s usually playful. idk

also his temper affects his focus and skills so he’s often chastised by splinter, which comes across to him like leo is so much better and splinter likes him more.

donatello’s turn. this guy has his heart on his sleeve and ik i mention his insecurities constantly but it does affect him more than anything else. he’s insecure about being a mutant, he’s insecure about his weapon and fighting skills, he’s insecure about his feelings for april, he’s insecure about whether he’s smart enough, he’s insecure PERIOD. he has so much going on in that brain so ofc it’s gonna affect his brothers

he snaps at people all the time. he lets his insecurities affect the way he interacts with other people (see: casey jones).

even the pride he does have about his scientific accomplishments can be easily crushed when they’re ruined or criticized in some way.

he isolates very often and sometimes when he is confident it comes across as rude.

and when he acts out of concern for april, he goes about it wrong and ends up being creepy.

it doesn’t help that splinter hardly corrects any of his behavior. plus he doesn’t get the affirmation he needs.

as for michelangelo he’s a bad interpretation of someone with adhd— oh wait no that’s not what i’m trying to talk about hold on—

so michelangelo is playful and naïve and fails to take many things seriously, which frustrates his brothers a lot so it’s hard for them to take him seriously when he is being genuine.

and for karai, we already see how flawed and rebellious she is, and it rubs off on her brothers often, particularly leo.

this family is just a wreck but that’s why they’re so interesting to explore and see them grow. it’s why i wanted more from the series. their dynamics have positive parts as well and it’s nice seeing them talk through things. but the series sacrifices a lot of that for plots that don’t rlly matter tbh (most of season 5 <3)

they are not abusive at all but they are extremely flawed and that’s okay

#except for mikey what who said that #pumpkin stuff #tmnt #tmnt 2012 #tmnt leonardo #tmnt raphael #tmnt donatello #tmnt michelangelo #tmnt splinter #tmnt karai

pick a pile: "What should you work on right now"

take a breath and choose the photo/number that calls you the most to read about something you may need to work on right now or be aware of.

don’t take the reading too seriously. only take what resonates with you and leave the rest. remember that is a general reading and some things may not resonate with you. remember you're in charge of your life.

You should work on your happiness and worth. You may be not so happy with where you are now and how you feel about you, you may be lacking self confidence and this all is keeping you stuck. You're overthinking a lot about your decisions, both regarding your past and your future. But we live in the present, friend. Try to be more into the moment, remind yourself that what has been cannot be changed but you can change the way you look at it and it makes you feel (generally those are all lessons), and that you are writing your future now. Balance your negative thoughts and fears with more hopeful and compassionate ones. You had to go through some sad tough stuff but in the end you'll get out of it and you will look back at it all with a smile. Remember your thoughts and the way you look at things, make your reality: so focus on the positive side (ofc, do not pretend to be happy when you're not, that would only make everything worse. Accept your feelings, go through them, experience them all, but find ways to get out of the rut you put yourself in the exact moment you feel you're done with your grieving time). Give love to yourself, you too deserve that. Don't pour (I honestly heard "waste") it all only outside. Stand strong and show yourself and everyone around your real worth, your real self. Plan your future with hope. Talk, express how you feel, set your boundaries and have no fear. No more people pleasing. You won't end up alone: you'll only be free from those who aren't supposed to be in your life cause they bring nothing good for you. Those who really care for you, will stay by your side and appreciate you even more. Get out of the dark, be in the light (your light): some of you will start being appreciated by even more people, also online.

Pile two, you should work on what makes you comfortable and feel loved. Your safety or finding a safe place. And on your dreams and how to reach them. You have so many dreams, and the message for you is to keep chasing them. Dreaming is what keeps us alive, so don't give up. You need to work on your self confidence and your emotions. Be more compassionate, give to yourself too the same way you give to others and don't feel bad about it. You are as deserving as them. You may compare yourself physically or mentally to somebody else and think you're not as worthy or as beautiful, but you're wrong. You are your own type of beautiful. Don't shy away from who you are. Be more caring and loving with yourself. Move slowly towards accepting yourself, seeing your own worth inside and outside, your own uniqueness. Take yourself by the hand and be your own best friend and supporter: that's what we're supposed to be for us. See the beauty inside of you even where it's hard to find it (according to you, cause that's only a twisted perception you may have cause by comparisons to unreal and unreliable standards), and keep going on. You're hot, you're kind, you're smart, you're so much more than the flaws you focus on. Change your point of view. Walk on this journey carefully, cause mental patterns and negative talks can always happen: just be compassionate and forgiving with yourself. You can reach the point in which you'll see yourself as a new person and love yourself for who you really are. Just stop causing yourself pain and anxiety with your insecurities, stop overthinking: you're only hurting and beating up yourself in a way (and for something) that you don't deserve. Respect yourself and all that you went through and the person you became and still have to become. You can get there, start loving yourself and don't give up.

I think you need to let yourself be seen, no masks on. So work on your heart chakra and solar plexus a little. You may be someone shy, someone that has buildt up some walls cause of pain, and you may try to avoid being in the spotlight or try to move it on someone else when you end casually being under it. There's nothing wrong in being open about who you are, there's nothing wrong in standing out from the crowd: you should embrace that. I think you may often end up self sabotaging yourself (unconsciously even), in order to keep yourself stuck in a comfortable safe place which is the place you have always known, the dark spot where nobody sees you, judge you, confront you, makes you feel unlovable or unworthy, where others cannot tell you we're wrong or hurting them (cause nobody can see you there)... where nothing you cannot foresee will ever happen. But that's also not the place were your life happens. You're avoiding to live, and feel sad about it. Sorry to be blunt, but in the end, that's what is going on. You rather end up neglecting your joy and happiness in order to keep others happy and have a quiet environment to live in. I understand this can be a childhood trauma you need to work on, but... is it all really worthy? You need to fight with this huge demon inside of you, and don't let it devour you anymore. You have all you need to live your life, you're smart and clever, you're lovely... but you cannot really show that to you or others. And that's a huge waste. You have so much to say, to share, but you're avoiding it all... ofc some people won't like you or what you say, but that's not a reason to shut up and close yourself in a dark room. There will be people that will love you and appreciate a lot for your courage (I'll be one of them, be sure of this). Fight your fears please. Fight your past experience. Usually those who judge us are only envious or projecting their own fears onto us, so really don't pay too much attention and don't give too much importance to them and what they say. Learn to recognize the people who wants to help you through good suggestions/criticism from the envious scams. Put everything in the right place, give everything the right worth, and in particular, give it to yourself and who you are. Don't let your fears and shadow self drown you down. And whenever it gets overwhelming take a pause, balance yourself out. Tak eyour time, go little by little: you don't have to pass from night to daytime in a blink of an eye. Take it slow, follow your pace, but conquer that effin beast. You can.

songs: i feel like i'm drowning | two feet; elettrochoc* | matia bazar *general meaning is: be yourself and don't care about what other think or say, don't let their opinions and your own fears block you and your dreams + making mistakes is okay.

mike/ party defense rant? ig?

i'm SO SICK of people holding mike (and the other kids in stranger things) to the same standards you would an adult. these are CHILDREN who are traumatized as fuck and you expect them to function like a normal kid, let alone adult?!?! like ofc m*leven is a toxic couple... they're teenagers in their first relationship (not to mention that mike is gay and el was locked away her whole childhood and doesn't understand how a healthy relationship works).

mike (and the others) are just CHILDREN! MIKE WAS 11 OR 12 WHEN HE JUMPED OFF A CLIFF TO SAVE DUSTIN'S TEETH (dustin's life wasn't even in danger, one of the many hints toward mike's suicidal tendencies but that's not what were here to talk about) !!! stop acting like they should be mature adults who know exactly what they're doing with their lives. especially when it comes to m*leven. neither of them know what they're doing. that's what first relationships are for. is to figure it out. and they're gonna figure out they're not good together and that el needs to find herself before she gets into a serious relationship and mike is gay (or at least not in love with el).

this is also a big thing with will. y'all act like he's immature in season three for wanting to play dnd when 1. it's not a children's game so it's not immature, 2. he lost his childhood. it's gone. whatever was left of it from his father, vecna took from him. and he just wanted to have a bit of it back and mike and lucas were distracted by their girlfriends (which is okay to a certain level bc they're just kids too and that's a typical thing for teenagers to do i'm not blaming them). and the general audience just decided that will is a crybaby and dramatic for wanting his childhood back?!?! nawww. if you were in his shoes, or mike's shoes, or any of their shoes, you would be saying something different.

anyway this was partially a mike defense rant, and partially a defense rant for all the kids (the older ones too but i won't get into all THAT here) because they are just children who are struggling with trauma and they're flawed and that makes them good characters. thank you for coming to my ted talk.

Finished watching Hazbin Hotel

(pirated ofc)

NOTE: if you plan to watch this, PLEASE do not use amazon prime, they are actively in support of the genocide in gaza, 🏴‍☠️ it if you must, and PLEASE do not support vivziepop or amazon as vivzie is heavily upfront about being a zionist.

Okay finished it,

this show is alright, it feels like it tries too hard to be an adult comedy sometimes, like they feel they need to drop the f bomb every chance they get to remind you its not a kids show. the writing has a lot to be desired and same with the characters and their backstories. I think if this wasn't run under a zionist and now owned by a large corporate company, it would be a pretty good show for an indie company but unfortunately thats not the case which makes it a lot more disappointing. Knowing that the show had a much larger budget this time as well as resources makes it upsetting with how much is left to be desired. It felt rushed and like they wanted to get out as much bullshit as possible before ending season one which is even more upsetting when good shows like for example inside job got canceled but still gave us a steady story line without it feeling like it was rushed. long story short, it isnt the worst thing ive watched but with the history of the show, the creator and select people on her team, it makes watching it hard to swallow.

few notes on the last episode for season 1:

seeing alastor not be some indestructible all powerful thing was great. him getting knocked down a peg really made me hehe

SIR PENTIOUS. MY BOY. HEAVEN. WHAT THE HELL MAN. i love him so much you dont even get it if anyone deserved to go to heaven it FOR SURE deserved to be him. but watching it was a bit eh.

I dont like how they made his death seem like a silly gag but then the cast took it really really seriously? id rather it had been treated seriously the entire time or not at all yk?

Lucifer i really like, his character feels the most relatable to me, in a way where you KNOW he's flawed from the get go and its easier to relate to him rather than some of the other characters.

nifty is great still no doubt, think its funny how shes the one who killed adam.

also Lilith? idk how to feel about it, like i know its supposed to be "OMG THATS WHERE SHE'S BEEN!" but i dont think anyone is really surprised in this situation? its obvious from the get go that she isnt a great character and no one is really shocked that she's teaming with the angels, hell her ex husband IS (was?) an angel ykwim?

Talking about the ColorGang! because thinking about them makes me happy;3333

aaand because I have no ideas what to do lol (+ I want to do a lil' bit of character study! Even though I'm kind of bad at analyzing things.. xD)

This will also contain some headcanons that I have for them btw! ;3

- ,, // Next Part ! \\ ,, -

1. Forgiving

They are all so forgiving it's insane.

Like- I get it. Both Purple and King had a tough childhood/was still in terrible grief which made them do the things that they do, but that doesn't justify their actions????

They are legit really forgiving towards someone who abandoned two(2) of them to die and betrayed them twice + towards someone who almost destroyed an entire dimension and almost got them all erased from existence...

(I have no hatred towards Purple or King, btw!! I love them;33 /gen i just don't really agree with their past actions ofc)

This whole "forgiving" thing makes me think that they would probably forgive The Dark Lord, too... (After some very well-deserved apologies, of course loll and if he's still alive- uh)

Actually, though; I have some doubts about that, but who knows.

Honestly, I think them being really forgiving kinda makes sense to their characters... In a way.

I mean- RYGB were all created for the sole purpose to fight. They are the 'fighting stickfigures', which means that they probably have no other choice but to forgive and move on.

What's the point of holding a grudge, after all? They are just gonna punch and kick each other repeatedly without pauses nor breaks anyway.

I think it's just.. A habit, or part of their codes, or they just feel like they don't really have a choice. (Old habits are hard to break)

Orange probably just goes along with them… Or, perhaps, his truce with Alan has made him more open to forgiving? Purple betrayed them twice and King almost destroyed an entire dimension, but I don't think any of that compares to the pain of having his friends deleted (literally killed) without any mercy nor remorse shown.

Perhaps it was the influence of his friends' forgiving nature, or it was just the truce he had made with Alan that made him more open to forgive and move on.

They are all so quick to forgive and move on.. It's a nice character trait but also pretty much a flaw.

Being able to forgive and move on it's great, but when you are so easily forgiving...

Good thing King and Purple actually genuinely changed for the better- (｡･∀･)ﾉﾞ

2. Bond!

Their bond is literally my favorite comfort thing in the whole world... ❤

Like- They are so close. So comfortable with each other. So huggy and clingy and happy and loving and caring and silly and so. sticking. casual-

They are literally the very epitome of Found Family.

And, even if I do ship PolySticks a whole bunch, I prefer much more their Found Family bond, to be honest. ❤ They give me so many siblings vibes aaa They are such a family, honestlyy.

Orange has known them since it's creation. RYGB have known each other since their creation. And, even then, they are all still together and as close as before even after so long. (And, I must say; they keep getting closer and closer as time goes by.)

They are all like a small lil' family; A family that, even after many fights, would never hold a grudge towards each other for too long.

They are like siblings who fight and compete and may be angry at each other at certain times, but who will still do anything to protect the other because they love and care and are a family.

I also like to think that the whole Animation vs Minecraft series is really what really brought them all together to have a really close and loving bond. It's already quite noticeable that, with each passing AvM season, their bond becomes stronger and they become even closer and protective than before.

If we compare their friendship in previous seasons vs now, you can see that their friendship has developed and each of them has grown a lot since then. (so proud of them aaaa)

Their bond is just.. ❤❤❤

3. Each Different Bond!

Can we just talk for a moment about how adorable Yellow and Blue's friendship is?? They are literally so- aAAaaaAA

I fully understand why a big part of the fandom ships them, to be honest... They are so close and affectionate and literally understands each other the most. They are very often always seen together, either just doing their own lil' things, enjoying each other's presence, or going through adventures together. ❤

The thing that makes me happy the most is; Their bond is not meant to be necessarily taken as romantic. It can very well vary of each person's own perspective of their relationship and I absolutely love that.

You view them as siblings? Awesome! Their relationship could very well be from very close siblings; maybe even twins! (Gotta love some healthy sibling relationship rep. too fr fr)

You view them as romantic? Incredible! They are so loving and affectionate, that if they were dating they would be the cutest couple in the world. /vpos

You view them as best friends? Amazing! Having a best friend is like finding a long-lost part of yourself; Kinda like a sibling, maybe even a twin. The relationship of best friends is really something very special. Their relationship genuinely gives me the vibes of 2 best friends, to be honest. (Especially since my friendship with my bffs is pretty similar to those 2's relationship. ;3)

Should I also say that these two are the ones who bring the group the most comfort?? Yellow is always the one who comforts Blue, and Blue is also seen comforting others as well. (Green!!)

They are both like the parents of the group, always being there for their friends and being a shoulder to lean on.

They are so comforting and literally the cutest duo ever... I love them sm❤

Oh! And I cannot forget about Green & Orange's friendship, too!!

They are canonly confirmed to be the closest out of their group of friends, and words literally cannot tell you how happy I was once I heard about this information. xD

They vibe with each other so well; Honestly speaking, Green can vibe with literally anyone so well. lol

They are both pretty chill, and very passionate about their favorite things; (Art! Music!) They are so equally competitive, too.

Their friendship is so cute and casual. <33 They are not as affectionate with each other as much as Yellow and Blue are, but that doesn't make their friendship any less healthy or adorable.

Their friendship is, to be honest… pretty lighthearted to the soul, honestly. I love when they're both on screen doing things together, because their friendship is so…

I don't know. There are no words to properly describe how I feel about their friendship. xD

But their bond probably has to be my second favorite (Yellow&Blue being my first!) They vibe so well together, their personalities mesh so well, and they're just so casual and relaxed and so passionate-

Both are artists, it's worth remembering! Of course, they are not the same types of artists; One is an artist while the other is a musician, but it's still something in common.

And with that in mind… I like to think that when Green isn't disturbing Orange with his loud music at three(3) in the morning and/or Orange working with Alan, I like to think that they both help each other with their passions.

(Orange canonically knows how to play guitar, and Green is quite meticulous, so that's a bonus! Orange helping Green write a song and/or Green helping Orange with the art block by giving him ideas for sets, details, etc.... ❤)

Their friendship is so cute and lighthearted aaa i love them ❤❤❤

Red and Reuben... Just. Adorable. ヾ(≧▽≦*)o

Honestly, Red's friendship with all of his animals is adorable; It's like she's a big sibling to them, in a way.

There's not much to say about these two's friendship, unfortunately… Since Reuben doesn't appear as much as he used to. :'v

But their bond in previous seasons was just so heartwarming. &lt;3

1. Trust Issues

A random thing that I thought of while listening to Bad Feeling (Oompa Loompa) - Jagwar Twin, but..

What if, after that whole AvA4 fiasco, RYGB decided not to trust Orange, Alan, or even the outside of their website because they were afraid of being deleted again.

Like- Think about this; They just met Orange; From the way they acted at first, they had certainly never left their website before (or, at least, had never entered computer territory before).

And right after they left their website - probably the only place they knew and were familiar with…

They were immediately deleted. Ended Process. Dead.

And with that… I think that's reason enough for them to be at least a little skeptical about Orange, right? (About Orange and especially Alan.)

After all.. Orange is the one who introduced them to the outside. Orange is the one who brought them out. Granted, Orange obviously didn't intend to get them deleted, but it's not like they knew that. It's not like the fact that they were killed for some reason could suddenly be forgotten just because they were revived.

And, with that thought in mind… I like to think that Green was the first to forgive and give Orange a second (heheh) chance, since they both hugged before he was deleted, and they both canonically have the closest bond. (Maybe that's why they are the closest? Because Green was the first one to see Orange's side and give them a second chance, which later led for them to have a very close bond.)

And also because Green is definitely the one most inclined to give people(sticks) a second chance, hear their side of the story and be the first to forgive them. (GrapeDuo moment!! xd)

They slowly, but carefully and certainly. started trusting Orange and leaving their website more (Until it got to the point where they literally live on their PC now, instead of their website. Probably because of flash ending in 2020-)

That's such a headcanon I will forever embrace. It's character development right there and I love it.

2. Genders & Pronouns!

Hmm! Not really that important, but I like to headcanon them with some genders & pronouns... It's just- really fun and makes them a lil' more relatable, I think..? xD

So!

! . Orange Agender ; (He/They/It)

! . Blue BiGender (It/They/She/He)

! . Red Juxera (She/Them/He)

! . Green TransMale (He/Him)

! . Yellow ApaGender (He/It)

3. PolySticks

Is it just me or shipping PolySticks just hits different than shipping other ships...?

Like. They are all so canonly affectionate and loving and caring towards each other that it's just so- casual. Inconsequential. The love is there.. It's there and it's not a big deal.

Shipping PolySticks just hits different because there is no things being changed nor removed, they all love each other and shipping them would just make that type of love different, but the love is still there and it's inconsequential and it just. hits so much different.

They are just a small group of friends who is really casually affectionate and loving towards each other, shipping them feels like it didn't change anything, it's just that it's all romantic now. Shipping them hits different, but It didn't make anything different at the same time.

They are just a small group of friends who definitely kiss each other's foreheads and cheeks and proceeds to act casual about it because they've always been like that and there is nothing wrong with it. It's casual, it's inconsequential, it's love.

Other ships hits different because there is development there, slowburn, falling in love; PolySticks hits different because the only thing that actually changes it's the type of love.

They all already have developed, they already have a very close relationship, they already are honest, have mutual respect and care and trust. Communication is slowly being built, but it is there. Their relationship is already pretty developed, shipping PolySticks just means that the type of love they have towards each other it's romantic.

The love they feel for each other canonically neither diminished nor increased when switching to a romantic one. They continue to love each other as they always have, the only difference is that it is a different type of love, but other than that, nothing else has changed.

The love is still there, as inconsequential and casual as it always was. PolySticks' relationship isn't any different from canon, it's just a different type of love now. ❤

I talked way too much about my feelings about this ship and now I felt like most of you probably won't understand my rambling.. My bad- (っ °Д °;)っ My feelings are quite difficult to understand even for me. lol

4. Unusual Bonds

Unusual as in like. We wasn't shown much about certain interactions on-screen, you know..? So we aren't much sure how exactly certain duos are like when only the two of them.

And it's- Kinda frustrating- lol (/opinion)

Orange has so much admiration for Yellow aaa and Yellow seems to respect him a lot and when they are both together- it's like they are just enjoying each other's presence and I find that so satisfying and touching and aaaaAAaaa /vpos (they seems to be very close, too!! Not as close as Green&Orange, or Blue&Yellow, but still close! ;3)

Red and Green give me so many sibling vibes- dwklswakljdswa They are both often seen together and they just get along so well and are so cheery and bubbly and determined and- sssighsssssssss /vpos (Their bond is so lighthearted aaa they are just teens being teens arghds /pos)

The whole arc with Blue and Green was sooo- aaAAAAAAaaA(/vpos) They don't have much in common but they still?? Can get along so well?? They are so different from each other and they just. embrace these differences and are able to have mutual respect and affection for each other and I just- ❤ (Never forgetting when they hugged as they were literally ready to die together aND aAAAAA/vpos)

Yellow has a certain rivalry with Green but still cares deeply for him and Green cares deeply about Yellow too aaaa- Unfortunately, we weren't shown much of their interactions together, which is sad. :'v Their bond remains adorable, though. xdd

When I said that Green could vibe with just about anyone, I wasn't lying. lol (They are so different but they still care deeply about each other aaa/vpos)

Man.. How I wish Orange&Blue's bond was more focused.. The latter's abilities always manage to surprise Orange and I think it's so cute- aaaldawsdlçadsw (Orange dreaming so much about Blue being so helpful and proactive tells us a lot about Orange's perspective on Blue. &lt;;3)

They both may not be the closest of the group, but they still care deeply for each other and still manage to have fun together!1 yayyayy /vpos (I feel like this season will focus a little more on their bond and I love it yayyyay (*^▽^*))

In the very few.. Very few for sure.. Rare even… Interactions between Red&Yellow and Red&Blue… Both interactions are adorable, although we haven't seen much of them. ＞︿＜

Red and Blue are very similar when it comes to their love of nature; Blue has a love for the nature world, while Red has a love for animals. I feel like this could be explored more which could strengthen their friendship. ;o (They both also give me vibes of being the youngest ones in the group, so that's a bonus. xd)

They're both also the most emotional of the group… Man, they have so much in common, now that I think about it. xD

Their personalities are so different, but they still manage to have some things in common, which I find pretty nice. ;3

Red and Yellow are practically opposites; One is reckless, the other is rational. But they still manage to care deeply for each other even though they don't have many interactions… Which makes me really curious as to what their bond really is like. (Texture Pack showed that they can still have equally fun together despite their differences, so I'm quite curious to see more about their bonding! (o゜▽゜)o☆)

Red and Orange… The best for last of course (/lh) ♪(´▽｀)

Their bond… It's a complicated thing. Or, at least, it was a complicated thing; Orange loved all his friends, that's for sure, but if we compare his bond with the others vs his bond with Red… I feel like he had a certain… I don't know. Bitterness? Towards Red.

Red is the one who inspired and motivated him to really want to fight with them, to really break the wall of their website and join their little group.

And yet.. Red is the one Orange gets along with the least compared to the others.

This is why Lush Caves was so needed; That's why the fight between them felt so much deeper and different than the others. They were letting it all out, all the emotions, all the bitterness.. Everything was finally being taken out in this fight.

The development of their friendship is so beautiful and precise. If we were to compare their friendship Pre-Lush Caves vs Post-Lush Caves, you can see how much their friendship has evolved. How much their bond has been strengthened and how much they seem to understand each other a little more. (While their characters have changed considerably since that episode too!)

The lack of communication between Orange and Red was exactly what led them to Lush Caves… And Lush Caves is exactly what led them to have a better communication and an even stronger bond.

I love every single bond of this group.. But SecRed is probably one of my favorite friendship (and character) developments, honestly. ❤

There were originally another (draft) post like this.. One that it's pretty old, indeed (probably made in either pre-2024 or the start of the 2024.. I don't remember. welp) But certain things happened so I just ended up deleting it. lol (I copypasta'd everything, though!)

(And I just recently noticed that tumblr removed the color Yellow... welppp- Time to use this site then!1! xD)

And, yet; My opinion about these dorks stays the same. ;3 (Made some changes during all of these, though! (～￣▽￣)～)

Also!! Sorry for being kinda inactive these past few days. I have been trying to work on other projects, and I didn't really felt like drawing at the moment. lol

Cya!!

lil' edits; made some changes, corrected some things.. lol

• i try to be a good listener but sometimes i dominate the conversation, especially if it’s a topic i particularly enjoy. i can talk endlessly about my hyperfixations.

• i procrastinate heavily and tend to overthink things.

• my friends all agree that im generally open and honest. i gravitate towards realism.

• various arts and crafts such as painting, drawing, and knitting

• listening to music; mostly metal and rock but i can appreciate other genres too

• i have so, so many plants, all of whom i treasure dearly

• several piercings + stretched lobes + tattoos

preferences

• someone significantly taller than myself (5’6)

• funny and would enjoy playful ribbing at each other

I hope all is well! :)

Hi!!! OFC!!

I’ve paired you with… ALASTOR.

I also don’t think Alastor would be romantically interested in anyone either. I think he’d do it for an advantage for himself.

He also dislikes physical touch unless he initiates it.

I think he’d help you act more confident, and remind you that “you are not fully dressed without a smile!”

He probably would stay quiet most of time, unless he needs to tell you something important. He’s listen to you talk.

He loves that you can be more open with him, and honest. He doesn’t like liars.

He’d hang up your painting, drawings or photography on his walls in the radio tower. He would love to hear you paint in the back of his radio.

He doesn’t mind what you listen to- but i think he’d be very into the blues and jazz.

I think he’d think plants are too much to take care of only because he’d forget about them. He’d appreciate if you took care pf them making his tower look less- bland (?)

Definitely would enjoy playful back and forth. He’d find it amusing.

Ill be honest. He will definitely judge your looks at first, but i think he’ll grow to like it. Would definitely ask you to fix your bangs 😭.

(Also me because im a cosmetologist. It hurts to see 😭😭😭😭)

~~~

I HOPE YOU ENJOYED IT!

Bbg could I get some hcs for cuddling with the hunting dogs (Fukuchi included)? 🫶

cuddling/sleeping with the hunting dogs

teruko ōkura, tetchō suehiro, ōchi fukuchi, saigiku jōno, michizō tachihara

a/n: there was a crying child onboard, i think i died inside

#teruko okura

her favorite position is to definitely transform into a child and sleep on your chest (she also wraps her arms around your waist)

teruko’s body temperature is SO high… (most especially her hands) it’s like the cutest spawn from hell decide to rest on top of you. tbh, it’s a good thing her salary is high enough to keep the AC at a cool 20° or else you’d be sweating immensely… even so, she’s a good girlfriend to have when you need a heat pack— BOOM!! human furnace + cuddles.

you can never really tell if teruko is awake or not cause her hair is always curtaining her face and even if not, her face is buried in your (man-)boobs 😖.

even if you don’t have any, she STILL buries her face in your chest since the beat of your heart is somewhat soothing? it’s nice to hear.

dating teruko means waking up to her resting bitch face everyday. despite her childishness, she’s quite a punctual person when it comes to work and responsibilities. so when she wakes up, so do you! plus, she’d probably make jouno suicidal if she didn’t get to kiss you off to work </33

#tetcho suehiro

you’d probably start holding each other and wake up on tetchous chest + his head in your hair

he sleeps talks… once in a while he whispers something— almost always something about his work or food. but, once in a while he talks about you as if you aren’t there. he starts babbling about how sweet you are and UGH, he’s just so sweet 😖😖😖

oh god, tetchou’s such a stiff sleeper. he tries to relax himself as much as he can but it always feels a little bit like sleeping on a bench.

he tries his best to make up for this by singing you to sleep. seriously though, he has a HEAVENLY voice (cmon, his VA is from enstars, ofc he sings well) his voice would be so soft and gentle too, I CANT (i firmly believe he would sing bruno mars songs)

mornings with tetchou are rare since he wakes up quite early (4-5:30 AM) but he always leaves love notes on the nightstand reaffirming his affections for you ughhh, marry him bestie 🙏🙏

#ochi fukuchi

hes so affectionate?? he wraps an arm around you waist and another on your head

from all the wars and deaths fukuchi has witnessed, he most definitely has PTSD. he’d probably have traumatic nightmares or something in the background might remind him of it so, once in a while, fukuchi would stiffen his muscles and grip you tighter, kinda like he’s scared that you’ll leave.

he’d also probably be a drooler? being in such a relaxing environment just calms him so much. and— off topic but, i feel like he’d also move a lot in his sleep. like he’s always tossing and turning.

fukuchi LOVES to brush your hair— most especially with his fingers. long or short hair, LET HIM BRUSH IT <3!! it’s sort of like a nighttime routine for the two of you 😖😖💗💗

out of all the dogs, fukuchi is most obviously the least punctual. he often sleeps in with you until early noon and comes in to work at maybe 12:45. what are they gonna do— fire him?

#saigiku jouno

tbh cannot imagine him cuddling (consciously, at least) BUT, he’d intertwine his fingers and legs with yours

honestly, when it comes to sleeping, his only flaw is that he falls asleep too fast. and, i wasn’t the one who told you this but jouno… smiles in his sleep. not a sadistic smirk but instead, an endearing smile as his head tilts to your shoulder

jouno really loves to complain about his work (read: not being named the strongest hunting dog). he can go on for hours about the slightest inconvenience like tachihara not refilling the coffee pot or something (he should change his name to karin jouno 🤗)

ooh, if you have someone at college/work that you hate— jouno’s the best person to talk to. he will slander them with you; that bitch is being a pick me? what an ass, go you, babe.

like teruko, jouno is punctual when it comes to work. except unlike her, he doesn’t want to wake you up. partly because he’s an asshole but he very much enjoys the peaceful look on your face. you’re so vulnerable, he could— sorry. (jouno most definitely has intrusive thoughts)

#michizo tachihara

just like jouno, another one who’s not good with affection </33 i think he’d place an arm on your abdomen and one holding your hand while his head is next to yours

because of his spy mission in the port mafia, tachihara has a pretty hard time falling asleep. he’s honestly afraid of sleeping? his imagination creates vivid nightmares of the black lizard members being injured, wailing in pain and, god, he knows it’s somehow his fault. but, he finds his comfort in you. your mellowness calms him somehow. even one glance at your peaceful face comforts him as he lets himself fall asleep.

since he grew up so fast, i feel like tachihara still has some childish habits. something like not being able to sleep without a warm glass of milk. he also likes if you make your own with flavorings. he never tried milk with hazelnut syrup but, oh my god?? new favorite drink

something that’d also help him sleep is talking. he loves the long late night talks you two have— there’s something so endearing to him about falling asleep to your lover’s voice.

noo but, istg he dies inside a little bit everytime his alarm rings. you look adorable, clutching the blanket but, he has to do his job BUT, you… god, save the king fr 🙏🙏

PAC, what you're doing right vs wrong

one two three

Pile one,,

Right:

currently you're working on yourself and dedicating time for yourself. you're analyzing the past and improving based on what you did wrong before. this mental health journey is really significant for you. working on your personal hobbies and talents is really helpful right now and could be a way you are dedicating time for yourself.

Wrong:

right now you are pushing people away and ignoring the people that genuinely care about you and are in your best interest. you're fearing change and actively refusing to improve or change at all. you're also holding yourself to this incredible standard. you're letting yourself rely on others too much/letting others rely on you too much and it's making you/them weaker. you have to get out of your head and make changes yourself.

Pile two,,

Right:

you're taking a rest, especially from people. you're holding yourself back from dealing with a toxic masculine person (could be any gender ofc). this person is negative for you and it's best to keep your distance as you're doing right now. you're doing something new, a big change from how things usually are for you. you're finally taking this leap and moving forward.

Wrong:

You're currently being a bit lost in your own delusions. You keep settling for people who are less. You let people treat you terribly and still only give them the best. You don't give yourself enough credit and you have really low self esteem. You're always knowingly letting people use you. You're ignoring your mental health flaws and pretending like you're done healing when you aren't. it might be tough but you have to keep going. i guarantee you got this.

Pile three,,

Right:

you acknowledge your flaws and mental health struggles. you are able to understand how you are and why you're like that. you may often psychoanalyze yourself, especially your trauma responses. you're learning more about yourself and are studying your behaviors. doing this can help you be able to solve the problems you have.

Wrong:

Even though you know what you have to do to fix the problems you deal with, you don't take action. this could possibly be because of depression. you're so used to living the way you are now that you don't find a point in helping yourself. you're also being overgenerous with people when you don't have enough to give to others. you could be letting people vent knowing you're not in the right place. it's best for you if you just tell them you need a break or need help. if they still demand from you, they aren't good to keep around.

My love for villains and antagonists is so deep in me. I have almost no sympathy for the good. I love looking at evil in media and what it does. Adam is a fun, awesome character. He had more point in canon, like lol in the actual canon of Biblical Canon, the apple Eve ate and then him, they went to earth (in the mud, cold and sicks and suck) and their son killed their other son, and if they were in heaven, perhaps, maybe.. this wouldn't have happened.but it might be too serious Poking Eve with goofy apple behind the tree is also meddling, if she would have found it herself (like Lilith) another conversation. I was hoping for that revealed partially. In the spirit of the show ofc. The image itself like his "pathetic" speech of a defeated pathetic anagonist. Well, uh. Just because he's sexist and a bunch of other "-ist", it doesn't matter to me. I think in gineral he's pierced with hatred for sinners. But there is no deep revelation of that. I think I'll add the criticism tag now It would surprise me more if he actually said, his point, the meaning, the evil, distorted, but valid meaning specifically for him. And did he really die? That fast? I'm hoping for a comeback. Big Daddy gonna let his first rock-son die so easily? If there is one at all Maybe that's it. Okay. And no I didn't want his Redemption. I also don't want Lute's Redemption at all. I don't want Lute to give up on Adam, or maybe she recognizes his mistakes and flaws (though geez I think she knows) and still won't give up on the memory of him. I'm really glad the last thing he saw was Lute. How she cries for him and he had time to smile to her.

***

Since I love crazy ships. I literally thought of Lucifer and Lute. But not so she's saying "wow how you're better than Adam" he's heard it before, boring. You're kind of like him (the dark side of Lucefer that pie, could beat someone to death with his bare hands), but you're not better or worse, you're different.
