im watching a playthrough of Dangan Ronpa (the third game) with my partner and i have thoughts. its definitely one of those things that were ruined by a fandom because they were too young for it. dont get me wrong, the characters are so out-there and unique they lend themselves to be perfect shipping war candidates, but there is seriously a wealth of artistic value to the games. watching through it ive been delighted with the artistic direction and sound design. the OST is dripping with personality and whimsy. its all around a fucking hoot to watch. its goofy and leans into the absurdity of it's setting without sacrificing sincere moments of the story. the murder mysteries are solid and engaging. Monokuma and his kubs are the stupidest motherfuckers ive ever seen and are hilarious whenever they show up. Ouma is there. ive had the most fun interpreting the ultimates as different flavours of neurodivergent and even if their role is short (i.e. theyre an early game victim/culprit) they have complexities. DR is genuinely cool as hell, if youve ever been interested in it i recommend tackling the playthroughs to enjoy the art of it - there really is nothing like it and i think we're all grown up enough to see the beauty in the absurd.

might be a hot take but god it pisses me off so much that every wlw show ive watched thats been canceled had an INCREDIBLE plot aside from the romance. like time travel or uncontrollable telekinesis or a fucked up social experiment of a staged plane crash. all very interesting stories and the wlw romance is a bonus and they still get canceled.
but literally nothing else has to happen for a mlm show to break records. nothing happens in shows like heartstopper. its JUST a high school romance. yes theres some wlw and i know people will argue that the focus on just high school is why they like it but it pisses me off how well they do compared to incredibly elaborate and brilliant stories that also have wlw romance. and they do well ENTIRELY bc its mlm.
and its because straight people (specifically straight girls) love mlm stories so shows like heartstopper get the straight audience AND the gay audience but no straight people care about wlw fiction like that. so every wlw show gets a smaller audience because its just a gay audience watching, and it leads to it being canceled every fucking time.

Next time I see a bsd fanartist draw Chuuya as a stick (and everyone else as not-a-stick), I'm going to put my electronic down, roll my eyes really hard, then continue on with my life. Because in the end, their happy and not harming anyone so it doesn't matter.
Anyway. That's a pet peeve of mine overall when it comes to fandom.
Like I don't care if you just draw him like a normal person or if your stylistic art style has everything looking like lines and angles. I embrace that even, it's creative and fun. It's mostly when people draw certain characters different from how they draw others. And thats fine by itself, not what I look for in fandom, but like it's fine. It's just when those people show up in my blog or comment section claiming that me drawing a character (for this instance Chuuya) with a completely normal body type is wrong. Because and I quote, "he's not that masculine".
It just feels icky I guess.
If you see fault in what I have to say, look me in the metaphorical eye, maybe dust off your brain so it doesn't overheat, and explain it to me.
Personally, I see Chuuya (outside of highly stylized art) as having the bodyshape of a mixed martial artist (you know, what he is), or maybe a baseball player (because of the way he uses his ability).

here's a bat assortment as cars I associate them with:
alfred: columbia victoria, old ass car, looks like they just let the horses loose, also early electric car and the first car to be included in a presidential motorcade
bruce: dodge challenger, a gorgeous piece of american muscle that has been thoroughly ruined by cops
kate: ram 2500 diesel, theoretically a reliable truck with a moderate tow capacity, in reality owned by alcoholic dads
babs: subaru outback (i know what you are)
luke: audi r8 idk i always associate audis with fashionable people and tech bros and idk luke fits that overlap to me..... i just found out this is what tony drives in the mcu..... i swear i didn't pick this on purpose
dick: mclaren spider, pretty, sporty, and really fucking maneuverable like if i had to ask for a (street legal) acrobatic car its this one
jason: Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR jkjk Toyota Hilux an excellent truck that will work forever and also is v good for strapping guns onto
cass: dodge viper, insane power plus tiny body equals a car for people who want to kill themselves
steph: 00s Honda Civic, reliable, dependable, will never die, unfortunately created to be intentionally looked over and driven by people who don't fear death
tim: Lamborghini, expensive, pretty, but if you know you know
duke: Volkswagen Thing, yes this is a real car, yes they look like a toy, theyre technically military vehicle so they come modifiable stock, not very comfortable but it doesn't need to be, it gets its job done and it does it Very well, utilitarian and cool as hell
damian: a Buick coupe, they send him a complimentary AARP membership with it not knowing he's 12, it doesn't much matter though, he appreciates the discounts

i don't know how to properly verbalise this but. i hate the global cultural monopoly the usa has. i hate that when topics go viral in the United States they go viral everywhere else too. because that means when gay and trans rights are under threat in the usa, in my country, where gay and trans rights were never even on the table, our government doubles down on hating gay people. they double down on culturally boycotting anything queer. anything that would make queer people living here feel like normal people. bigots double down on their bigotry. they feel the need to bring it up at every social gathering. just when we let our guards down and feel normal for 5 seconds, we're not allowed, we're reminded that we're not normal and we'll never be considered normal. and honestly, i feel like im in a tar pit sinking deeper until i disappear. and if the usa's culture and society weren't so loud, at least people here would forget gay and trans people exist and we wouldn't be accepted but at least we wouldn't be under fire in a place where we have a lot less protections.
