Gonna be real. I know I’m super biased in saying this but I genuinely think it’s more conducive to the story’s message and themes if Thistle is still alive after the end of the manga. Like.
There’s all these examples of characters talking about how love and support from those who matter most to you is what can allow you to heal despite experiencing immense trauma. Themes of life and death and rebirth in both a physical and metaphysical sense. I just think it’s so much more satisfying for Thistle to get that, too, more so than the tragedy of him dying. You could say that him not getting that chance is just how things go sometimes, but in a series all about defying fate and walking the more difficult but fulfilling path (after all, recovery and facing the reality of it all certainly wouldn’t be easy) I would argue that him living serves the narrative much better.

i will be totally honest with y’all i can’t see Hobie (ATSV) in a romantic relationship ever. like, i can’t see him seeing anybody ever as “the one” or even having multiple partners or anything. I can barely see him having friends outside of the ones he already has. I can somewhat see the “are we dating or are we not dating” thing being something he gets involved in, but not really. i think a lot of people either don’t know or just forget that he’s probably homeless and that his world is shit rn and that stuff he needs isn’t easy to come by 😭😭 and a lot of homeless people just don’t have time/energy for shit like romantic relationships and the stuff he’s doing canonically because they’re so focused on trying to survive. That’s why when I make posts about him casually flirting or whatever it’s never serious, it never goes anywhere, because honestly! Between music shows, trying to find your next meal, fighting the power, trying to find a shelter for the night, helping other homeless people and others in need as both a civilian and Spider-Man, dealing with dimensional threats, trying to find a place to get clean, i just don’t think Hobie has time to even consider it. Sure, maybe there are facilities in the HQ to make it easier, but after that stunt, i think he’d avoid using them as much as possible. do you see what i mean??

people have got to stop comparing everything to the obelisk flair situation bc there has really not actually been anything like it since and probably (hopefully) never will; the obelisk flair thing was the catalyst for staff at least consistently maintaining known gene error threads, because obelisk flair having apparently been a “bug” was something *never publicly stated at all* until the “fix” came out (and in fact obelisks were used in the promotional/announcement images for flaunt/flair…) and that was a big reason for the backlash. that’s why it was the one time they decided to go back on a supposed bug fix (after polling the userbase about it)—people were upset not just by the change to their dragons, but by the fact that no one had any possible idea the change could be coming. gene error threads were not the quickly organized lists they are now, this was not a remotely known error anyone was prepared to see fixed.
it was because of this situation that they started maintaining these threads! you can, in fact, check the threads and know which genes are going to get changed at some point, and if you get upset that your dragon got changed because an error got fixed… you should have checked the error thread first, buddy, sorry.
but then on the other hand: no one should HAVE to check the error threads first all the time—you SHOULD do it but that sucks and i’m sorry that you have to. it is completely and utterly abysmal that ancients keep getting so rushed and pumped out way too fast with a mile long list of errors that don’t even all get fixed before the next broken thing gets dumped out to add onto the horrendous pile of bugs. i say this not even out of my spiteful little ancient hater brain but out of solidarity with & support for my fellow FR users despite our vastly differing tastes: ancients are coming out way too quickly and the 2-3 per year pace is unhealthy and causing way too many problems.

Rereading The Greatest Estate Developer (as one does of course), and I just got to the part where Lloyd surveyed the giant Cremo lobster monster in order to find out what it’s made of and now I’m just wondering.. could he do the same with a human?
The human body is chemically equivalent to a mix of water (35 L), carbon (20 kg), ammonia (4 L), lime (1.5 kg), phosphorus (800 g), salt (250 g), saltpeter (100 g), sulfur (80 g), fluorine (7.5 g), iron (5 g), silicon (3 g) and trace amounts of fifteen other elements.

we know how vampires are basically impossible to injure or hurt if you’re a human right? well what about vampires that weaken the more they love you. like nothing outside a wooden steak to the heart can wound them, but a little slap from their human lover has their cheek reddened for hours

The beauty of being hot and sweaty and still not entirely getting what your doing but feeling so butch just fixing something. Even if it’s just holding cardboard in place while your dad tapes the edges. Even if it’s just watching the hose drip. Even if it’s just smacking the side of a fan to make it turn on.

i know there’s a disreputable history of gay couples in tv shows ending in tragedy but i find these days it’s more common that a gay couple who started out pretty juicy ends up getting married, having a kid (through surrogacy) then being settled forever. then maybe one will cheat. and honestly it’s not juicy enough anymore. we need to go back to treating gay characters badly again. keep them apart as long as you can please. and when they get together break them up. i want to actually feel something

Lmao girl how much do you know about them to be as delusional as you are? You can't say you miss them and say it's justified if you don't know anything about their lives. Weirdo. How exactly can you say I care too much when it's /you/ caring way too much about a clearly unhealthy couple that /you/ get to speculate is getting a divorce? Then when someone doesn't agree with you, you get to day they're wrong and they care too much? What?
because you’re anonymously sending hate to me?? get your own blog! then you’re free to say whatever you want to!
