The Morality of Fandom Activities
This might as well be an essay, so apologies for my long asf post. Just a few heads up: this is in no way talking about people who support incest irl and MAPS. Those are extreme cases that I'm not qualified myself to talk about, I only know that I don't want them on my page 😭
I stopped having a very active social media presence when I was finishing high school. For me, this was a huge deal, because as the token weird queer kid all my life, Tumblr and fandom culture provided a safe space for self-expression, developing my writing skills and exploring myself. Fandoms usually play a huge role for teens, since their interactions and their experiences shape their mindsets into the primary form their adult brain takes. Whenever I look at my old posts, I can see the points where I was maturing, I could see my opinions change very clearly without always connecting old posts to significant life events.
What is very important to take into account is that I was in ALL the "red flag" fandoms, even some niche ones. BNHA, Homestuck, RWBY, Okegom, Voltron, you name it. I was into it, I had Instagram edits of it saved on my phone. As a result, I am familiar with all kinds of fujoshi, yuri bros, proshippers, etc. I'm not here to inform you about my entire digital footprint though. I'm here to discuss fandom morality. Fair warning, I will be referring to a bunch of dark themes vaguely.
I want to start by saying I understand the appeal of a toxic ship. A ship that is straight-up problematic given the context of the story. Be it because the characters are abusive to each other, a very big age gap or them being blood relatives - I get it, even if I'm one of the people who's easily repelled by this shit. I get why Junjou Romantica, for example, became so popular. The big body proportions, the "forbidden romance" trope, the guilty pleasure, I get it. I understand how nerdy young women would fawn over yaoi because they craved a soft male touch. I understand the south park proshippers because they inserted their younger selves into the characters and imagined scenarios where their own fucked-up childhoods would make sense.
My experience with Funamusea helped me understand that things that are taboo can be appealing in a fictional form. There were a lot of issues because the horror used in Funa's games was centered around sexual battery and assault. To me, that made perfect sense. Funa games are packed to the brim with gore, war, mental abuse, and disturbing characters. Of course, there would be SA in such a fucked up setting. Rape is a horrifying thing that no one should face because it is a subcategory of violence. VIOLENCE IS SOMETHING NO ONE SHOULD EVER COME ACROSS. Therefore, why is it that people who write stories containing this trope receive so much hate, but 1940s war aus for example get praised? Why is FMA a pacifist masterpiece and not torture porn?
For "glorifying" real-life horrors? Triggering people? Let's broaden this.
Think of your favorite slasher film. Your favorite best-seller horror book. Do you think that the people behind these stories are freaks and murderers? Psychopaths are capable of fitting in anywhere they want, even fucking churches. So it is useless to assume creators are moral instigators for their VILLAINS. Now let's think about Colleen Hoover and Sara J Maas (or as I like to call her, Sara J Ass). Their "love" stories are super popular because of the immense marketing that they have received, despite profiting off romanticized harmful content. Backlash is still minimized in contrast to anime niche, because they are backed by million-dollar industries and the fact that they conform to the norms of a straight story. Although that, is a topic for another discussion - how problematic characteristics are "musts" in irl relationships.
Lastly, I want to talk about the so-called community saviors who want to protect these platforms. Those who want to build a safe environment so that no predators infiltrate our sacred grounds where we discuss Persona 5 ABO dynamics. A lot of them are oftentimes victims of this sort of abuse. I myself have come across groomers. But tbh 15yo kids who reblog Shiro X Keith are not really the enemy? Anyway, that's a little besides the point. I want to directly talk to these people right now, hear me out: you are hypocrites. You only pretend to care about Tumblr communities but do not hesitate to accuse someone of abuse (any kind) and tell them to end their life. How are you protecting anyone like this? How are you a positive role model for the children partaking in fandom activities when you show clearly that you wish death upon someone. VIOLENCE IS SOMETHING NO ONE SHOULD EVER COME ACROSS, I re-iterate and you possibly agree, but YOU ARE STILL VIOLENT, and justify it by being "virtuous". How are you any different from @\hivliving? Her actions will forever be engraved in her victims' heads, even if she was humiliated in the end. Then again, it would have been better for her to write a shitty low-quality fic about Hamilton having HIV or whatever the fuck, if looking up basic things about HIV was so difficult. After 7 years in & out of fandoms, there's one thing I'm fine with, and that's bad fics.
Ultimately there is so much more I want to say. I might cover this topic on my bestie and I's podcast sometime (soz it's in Greek). The bottom line here though is not about keeping a neutral stance on problematic media. It is to enjoy whatever the fuck you want just because it makes you happy. It is to differentiate what's a wolf in sheep's clothing from what's a sheep. It is to accept that kids will ALWAYS lie about their age to access all sorts of NSFW. God knows I did so. It is to recognize them and realize that their creators and fans are most likely not going to act out every bad thing that occurs in said story. Because if that were the case, with the rise of all the Yeagerists, we'd have so many bitchless college students trying to start little rumblings of their own, and the world would be a much funnier place.
Now go outside and spread your moral philosophies to people outside your Discord server

Sekai ichi Hatsukoi will be getting a German Dub!
Hi all! Some fandom news, Sekai ichi Hatsukoi will be getting a German dub, with the first episode being streamed on Kazé Germany’s Twitch and YouTube channels July 26th at 4:00PM in Germany.
In addition to the episode, there will be a live interview conducted with the dub-voice actors for Hatori Yoshiyuki and Yoshino Chiaki. There will be no subtitles for non-German speaking viewers, but it still wouldn’t hurt to show up to the stream to show support for the first group to release an official dub of a Nakamura property! 
Additionally, the company has licensed Junjou Romantica as well, but has stated on Twitter that no date is confirmed for its release at the moment. So be on the look out for more news via Kazé’s social media channels!
I will include any relevant links in the first reblog of this post so it can make it into the tags, so please refer to those below.

Also regarding the manga/anime thing with Soobin Taeyong Woozi and Mingi if you no longer support or talk bad about them DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT interact with me. Unfollow me like I care. Idk why so many people are being so judgemental. I mean how many people out there watch explicit anime with yandere anime girls/boys? Plus I know shows like SVU and others are popular. So most people watch crap with pedophiles on it. All I'm saying is it doesn't matter what they read/watch in private so long as they aren't DOING it. Which they are not. I learned about this when someone sent a message to their followers on Wattpad. It really PISSES me off. How many of those people do you bet have a dirty little secret like they love monsterfucker or the rape/happy ending fanfiction? They don't go around doing that but a celebrity liking an anime/manga (so many people already love to watch anime and read manga or comics those are very explicit too) with maybe dark themes God forbid everyone gets bat shit crazy. It's nuts. I've watched yaoi anime where it almost seems like they were coerced or even raped. (Chill I'm referring to the animes Junjou Romantica & Foreign Affair so there's more to it context wise.) And how many of these hypocrites do you think watch Attack On Titan? That's pretty violent and explicit don't you think? Oh well those people were never TRULY fans anyway. Thanks for letting me rant!

loling at the Girl who can manifest things that she says because all that reminded me was Haruhi Suzumiya lol
Yeah, I thought it sounded familiar... though I didn't think it was a Haruhi Suzumiya reference until I saw this lol. I knew about it, I just didn't watch it myself.
I was into manga/anime as a kid, but my taste was... rather eclectic? Mostly because of my sister, who forced me into watching whatever she liked and she watched whatever she wanted XD
Like, we were into some standard shonen (Naruto, Pokemon, Detective Conan) and shoujo (Ouran High School Host Club, Vampire Knight), but also liked some less mainstream stuff (my sis collected all the tankobon volumes for The Wallflower). I also remember watching Blood+ and Darker than Black (the latter more vaguely than the former)
We also got into yaoi maybe a bit too young lmao. There was a time when my sister watched nothing but Junjou Romantica on loop every weekend lol.

I went down the rabbit hole today and I don’t regret a moment of it.
This started out because I decided to rewatch DAKAICHI -I’m being harassed by the sexiest man of the year-, which is precisely as good as it sounds. I’d plowed through it once already in my quest to find decent BL anime and was meh about it overall, but once I learned that Takahashi Hiroki (Koujaku’s seiyuu) voiced one of the two main characters, I decided to re-watch.
(The “harassment” part of it doesn’t even begin to describe what happens in this anime. Apparently it’s a common BL trope for the top to just fuckin sexually assault the bottom, and consent is never even asked for, let alone given, until kinda maybe after the act. There’s a lot of “guess I’m putting up with this” from the bottom, a lot of “I’m sorry, but I can’t control my urges because I need you so badly” from the top, and overall a lot of victim-blamey shit that I 100% blame Junjou Romantica for. I don’t recommend watching this show if this kind of thing is painful to see.)
Anyway, so I am half-watching, half-working on birthday art, and as the series progresses I notice something. Takahashi’s character, Saijou, is cast in a butai (stage play) called Red Leaf Ogre. This tickles something in my brain, so I go on a brief hunt to see if my memory is correct... and it sort of is. Last spring (of 2022), Allen Kohatsu, my current Japanese stage actor obsession -- and, did I mention, the actor who played Koujaku in the DRAMAtical Murder stage plays -- was in a butai; I remembered the name as something like Autumn Storm Demon. And I was close -- it was Autumn Leaf Demon. He was an onmyoji named Ikushima.
Tumblr media
So that makes me wonder. I wasn’t aware of the source material for this particular butai; all I knew was that Allen wasn’t one of the two main characters shown above. The similarity of the name of this one to the one in the anime seemed too strong a coincidence, though. I can’t help but wonder if the anime’s butai was a winking reference or homage to some other anime and/or manga of which I’d never heard -- which wouldn’t be a stretch at all. I go hunting to see if I can find some source material for Autumn Leaf Demon...
...and what little I find just seems to track back to Red Leaf Ogre, which doesn’t make sense. I know ‘oni’ means demon, but nothing beyond that. I learn that a butai of Red Leaf Ogre had been produced, which is fascinating: I love how seemingly anything can be made into a butai, apparently as long as there’s even the slightest interest. So in this case, it was a butai based on a butai within a BL anime. Well all right then.
I still want to know if there was a connection, though, and I still can’t find any source material for Autumn Leaf Demon. This seems odd but not implausible; just because there are a lot of butai based on anime, manga, etc., doesn’t mean there aren’t original ones too. But somehow I find that Autumn Leaf Demon is a sequel to Red Leaf Ogre. A sequel.
So, to sum up, Takahashi Hiroki voiced Saijou Takato in DAKAICHI; his character was cast in a butai; the butai was produced on stage in 2019; Allen Kohatsu was in the sequel in 2022. On top of that, one of the other UtaPri Gekidan Shining actors, Shuji (Camus) was in both Red Leaf Ogre and Autumn Leaf Demon as Ayagi’s character.
I have no idea what to do with all this information that this afternoon’s obessive research produced, so I’m just going to set it down here. Along with an image of Allen as the onmyoji Ikushima.
Tumblr media
Allen’s in the hood on the upper left; Shuji is the horned guy on the far right.

AFG LGBTQA Bingo Masterpost To Be
For now I'm noting down ideas for every prompt but once the card's complete I'll either edit it into a masterpost or reblog as a production reference for a masterpost.
Tumblr media
Exclusion/Rejection
I'm absolutely going to pick a character from the Royal Tutor for this. Really amps up the social expectations part of things.
Bulge Kink
Kokoro
Trans Omega
Gareki is a FTM Omega. Part of why he's pissed at affection is the social standards behind it. YogixGareki (Karneval)
"I love you, I love him, you love me... Why can't we all love each other?"
I'm having trouble deciding on the media and characters for this but tamaki/haruhi/kyoya is trumping thus far.
Moyashimon is also a strong contender
Karaoke
The MCs take a break away from their cafe by having a karaoke date. Chatting At The Amber Teahouse.
Height Difference
Ed x someone (fma)
Himawari-san and forgethernamedammit (Miss Sunflower)
Moyashimon
Flags
could be red flags
could be flag flags
maybe nhs (mdzs) with pins and patches? he could design them?
Still In The Closet
Maybe Seiya from Tsurune? mayhaps?
Modern AU
blank space
Love Triangle
blank space
Crying Under The Rain
Chigusa has an emotional moment during a rainshower, overwhelmed by the easy prevalence of water and it's gentle fall. Rakan helps him through it. (Silver Diamond)
True Mates (a/b/o soulmates)
you could get some real drama using junjou romantica for this. tricky, but possible, and very dramatic.
Free Space
Celebrant AU - gay marriage becomes legalised and in order to avoid bankruptcy via wedding gifts the MC gets a cheap celebrancy license and offers free services to his friends as the present. I'll decide the MC and fandom later.
Sharing An Umbrella
Hikaru and Akira walking back from their personal go match. Hikaru gets nostalgic about Sai and Umbrellas.
"And They Were Roommates"
Shen Yuan and Shang Qinghua having a laugh over heir partners being temporary (unwilling roommates). Bingmei just wants t know what's so funny. (SVSSS)
Strap On
That sex toy designer character I like from that manga I like (gonna need to take a scroll through my faves) makes a secondary penis strap-on and torments his boyfriend with it.
Showing Love Without Words
Shen Yuan wants to give Binghe all the love he can but can't bring himself to say 'i love you'. So instead he does sneak acts of service. Filling the kitchen with his favourite ingredients, using his favourite incense, sneaking cultivation supplies into his qiankun pouch, keeping books to Binghes interests on the shelf, etc. (SVSSS)
Dysphoria
Wandering Son (more attention on this story please, it's so good)
Danny Phantom (the fan theorists have a point)
Carry In Arms
Monochrome factor,(we need more cute Akira), Shirogane can carry him. could include a funny omake since Shirogane is invisible, would be very odd for a random bystander.
Roommates AU
Soma and (was is Takumi? the older italian brother) from food wars
"Nothing will stop me from loving you."
Megumi x Mikoto from Princess Princess sounds like an awesome idea.
Bar Fight
Takahiro gets into a drunken drawl with a homophobic asshole. Akihiko bails him out, very happy that Takhiro is slowly coming to accept his relationship with Misaki, if only very drunkenly begrudgingly. (Junjou Romantica)
Royalty AU
Maybe a Harmony AU, if i can work out how
Non-Binary Coming Out
Aoi officially comes put as a bi NB (he/they) after reaching high school. They come out to their friends and family (their immediate family does not take it well, their aunts take a little convincing but get there, 2 MCs are chill and supportive). Aoi picks a more open high school to live freely, further away from his previous schoolmates for a new start. Aoi, after some indecision, uses flags to come out on their blog page while announcing a hiatus because they want to work on their technical skills, personal growth, school work, maid occupation and develop a new blog image for the new stage he's at.
The flag bit may or may not be used as the upper flag prompt in a chaptered fic. We'll see how it goes. This is for Kaichou wa Maid-sama.
Alpha With Two Omegas
I'll be using the three main characters from Daites Ryou Koubouki (Offense and Defense in Daites) for the story since they have an interesting canon polyamorous dynamic. I haven't decided who to make the Alpha just yet. Koscise would be fun with two temperamental omega, but Mathesa honestly just makes more sense given their political relationships. We'll see.

Tumblr media
I did a thing today! I recreated Miyagi’s apartment(Or rather the main room) in The Sims 4! Sometimes, location references are so useful for writers like myself, so I made this as a reference for me and figured I’d share it in case anyone else is looking for pictures of Miyagi’s apartment. It’s not perfect, I was limited to what is in the game and some custom content I have, but I’m pretty happy with it. I’ll break down the room into sections so we can zoom in and analyze under the cut.
Tumblr media
The kitchen is pretty basic. I chose as similar counters color wise as I could, but it’s lacking. Microwave is against the back corner, the sink and stove are both across from it. From the wall it goes: Empty counter, sink, counter, stove, counter. The kitchen is free of clutter for the most part which I hate in The Sims but easier to draw/animate I’m sure. I kept the utensil cup by the stove we see in a shot of the first episode. There’s also a built in square cabinet on the last counter that I can’t replicate that we know salt is kept in from S3, so I put in a bread box instead(Interesting note: Miyagi doesn’t even have a coffee maker in the anime, but we know he drinks coffee in the manga). There’s some wall storage and then the fridge, which I feel like the fridge should be wider and there should only be one storage thing(You’ll see two), but fridges are only so big in The Sims so I had to add a second storage thing to fill the space. There’s also no fridges that match the counters(In the anime it seems to be a built in fridge that matches the counters) so I chose a random one. I regret using that one in ways but not enough to retake screenshots. 
Tumblr media
The lounge was pretty easy, tbh. I had to use CC couches because we don’t have sectionals in game but this one had an orange swatch!!! That’s like classic Junjou Terrorist. The sectional has a loveseat  across from it and then the TV in the corner. I don’t know how easy it is to see the TV with this layout, tbh. I honestly don’t even know if it’s possible for sims to sit on the sectional and watch TV. The coffee table was light gray, so I just grabbed my favorite coffee table and left it. Next to the TV is the calendar we see in S2, and then a painting, we see two in the room but the quality of the Youtube video isn’t the best so I just chose a random one with similar colors and used it twice. We know there’s either a window or balcony behind the sectional because we see curtains, I assume it’s a balcony so I added a sliding door but you can’t see it. 
Tumblr media
I studied the placement of things on the front wall SO MUCH. It’s not spaced out properly, but everything is there. I think the side table should be three tiles wide(You can see the grid placement, each square is a tile), but we only have two wide side tables, so while the plants should be right next to the table, it’s spaced out. The plants aren’t exact, again, I used my favorite plant. The decor on the side table also changes(Two bowls and a plant in S1, a bowl and the plant in S2, pictures in S3) so I used a bowl and plant, and in the lounge pic, you can see I added a picture frame after this shot. In my mind, it represents the picture of Sensei that’s kept in a drawer. There’s also a fire alarm on the wall, I can’t tell what it is in the anime but Sims need fire alarms. We also have no light switches, so that’s a thermostat to represent the lights next to the door. I also wasn’t sure what exact color the door was, so I chose a similar door and color. This one is definitely more of a recreation of placement rather than the most accurate objects. The placement of the side table was something I needed to figure out, I had thought it was behind the dining table so I need to edit a scene.
Tumblr media
The dining room/storage area is really bare and simple. For placement, the table seems to line up with the plant by the door, at least the front chair does. The plant is more tree-like than the plants by the door. Two chairs, which still gets on my nerves because who only has two chairs for a 4-6 seater dining table and I wrote a scene yesterday where the table had 4 chairs and it’s set 5-6 years post S1/S2 so I’m keeping it and assuming they’ve gotten a new dining set(Shinobu has Risako and her twin toddlers over for lunch so it needs four chairs) or something. Very basic. There’s a storage closet in the corner, where Shinobu and Risako both look for their things, we can see in the anime that it sticks out, isn’t in line with the kitchen which looks really good, divides the room up a bit. We see that there’s a picture on the wall close to it from the Risako scene, that’s the reuse of the painting. I used one of the in game closet objects instead of trying to find the right doors and making it myself. 
And... That’s it. I didn’t pay too much attention to the walls, I think they’re mostly white so I went with my favorite trusty gray wallpaper with trim, but the kitchen and half wall behind the section seems to be brown so I made it an accent wall kind of? Sims Youtubers like to use the term accent wall so I’m pretending I’m knowledgeable. The floorboards are a medium brown wood. And I have no idea about lighting so I just put some basic lights in, S3 has a few wall lights on the front wall but I didn’t see them in S1/2. 
It’s nothing special, but I found it useful and I like it so hopefully other people like it too. I have a few other Junjou Terrorist builds that aren’t recreations but just places like the Takatsuki house, the Anderson house(Shinobu’s Australian host family in my mind, I love them) and their RV for a story I have in the works, Miyagi’s apartment where I took inspiration from the canon one but not exact, things like that. I’d be happy to share those too. I think I used CC from IllogicalSims, Peacemaker-ic, Hey Harrie and FelixAndre(Collab packs), and Littledica so thank you to them. They’re all fantastic creators. If anyone wants this on the gallery, I can replace most of the CC with game items and upload it. Might try to recreate the apartment, but that’ll be a lot of creative liberties. 
I’ll shut up now. This is long enough.
