Laios's three Boy Best Friends. And yes, they hate him.

#dungeon meshi #laios touden #toshiro nakamoto #chilchuck tims #kabru #BF in this context could be boyfriend or best friend. The line is so blurry. #Chilchuck less so but whatever is going on between Shuro and Laios & Kabru and Laios is giving strong: #“dude if you were a girl I'd date the hell out of you”. And from the genderswap extra's that sentiment is canon for BOTH. #This was made prior to the translation of the Laios & Kabru & Shuro restaurant date comic and honestly I am just feeling vindicated. #I don't even know what to call this dynamic other than a situationship. There is so much going on between all of them. #Even on a purely platonic reading - the miscommunication and male yearning for friendship hurt so bad. #When we got the Big Hug scene in the epilogue arc I was whooping and hollering! Pure catharsis moment! #I also don't like hugs very much so I really felt it went Shuro ('hates being touched') went in for the bear hug. #Do not get me started on the agony of 'always lying' Kabru telling the truth (I just wanted to be friends) #and 'always believes' Laios thinking it's another lie and brushing him off. #I am once again supporting dungeon meshi day by posting art. Please watch dungeon meshi. #obligatory edit because I’m tired: YES. Chilchuck cares for Laios and him admitting it was a huge part of his arc #YES he is more just fed up with him that actually hating him. #I needed a third guy to be canonically done with his ass for the THREE WEED SMOKING GIRLFRIENDS reference

Neil: I hate you.

Andrew: I hate you too. In fact, I hate you 300% more than the day we met.

Matt: *from beside Neil as his best man* What the fuck you two? These are your literal wedding vows.

Renee: *who knows how they talk to each other in tears* That was so beautiful.

#wymack is hiding his supportive dad tears behind a whiskey glass #kevin is andrew's best man but only because nicky lost the spot #when he asked neil if he was going to wear white lingerie to the honeymoon #matt planned the bachelor party so nicky wouldn't invite male strippers #i know nora said they wouldn't marry but a being can dream #all for the game #the foxhole court #aftg #andrew minyard #neil josten #aftg incorrect quotes #andreil #renee walker #matt boyd

when the lip differs from the lip

#aizo’s really too good for this series (sometimes). very male lead of him i have to say #he forgives his mother for being like *that* to him and still loves her despite everything #he shows kindness to people who openly hate him (mona; granted it was only to make up for his bf’s earlier misdeeds) #a n d he tolerates yujiro’s nonsense (bc he loooooves him) despite their frequent arguments and disagreements all #meanwhile yujiro openly hates on people who go after his bf (kanami 2k20: never forget… and chizuutan to a degree too ig) #man i miss honeypre event stories (says this all the time). i miss seeing aizo pine on main (while being dense about his own feelings) #and yujiro being salty on main (while somehow being even denserrrrrrrr about his own feelings for aizo) #those event stories truly were some of the best shipping fuel for ss lxl #(also ngl but. i liked how hiyoko was still present in their stories as the supportive friend role to them…) #(unlike a certain [redacted] anime which turned her into a horrible self-insert who shoehorns herself into situations unrelated to her) #(*cough* aizo’s so-called ‘fake trauma’ *cough* ‘how could yujiro’s family hate him when his mom makes him such a nice lunch????’ *cough*) #(wished we could’ve seen more of the jk trio in the event stories though [sadge]. bring back honeypre p l s) #um anyway!!!!!! see y’all when the next lxl mv drops ig???? maybe later in the week???? sometime between wed-fri???? idk?????

tbh you are so real for talking about the misogyny targeted to mei & other women in the lmk fandom. in general its like people only value mei as: a: the wingman to some basic mlm ship or b: macaque 2.0. its honestly crazy how so many male side characters overshadow her in the fanbase despite not even having a FRACTION of her screen time. idk chat i feel like the reason people dont care about mei but care about some random male side/background character is less because they're inherently more likeable but because some of you view women as inherently less likable. and everyone is always like "mei is so girlboss pussy cunt slay shes the only reason theyre still alive because she keeps them safe from their silly boy shennanigans shes their ultimate wingman shes so badass shes their lesbian best friend i totally paid attention to her when i watched this show LOL" and even ignoring the obvious misogyny here (ie. how people reduce her to being the male characters babysitter) its like... okay... i know mei is cool & badass already... could you name literally ANY other character trait she has. like people just value her as being "the braincell" who can get red son and mk together or something stupid and its like are we having fun still is this still fun. literally every day i go into the mei tag its like "look at mei shes red sons wifey and shes vaguely in the background of this drawing of red son and mk staring into each others eyes #trafficlighttrio am i right oh look shes macaques niece now this post is about ao lie why is it in the mei tag"

and thats literally JUST talking about mei and it doesnt even begin to cover the other female characters. chang'e constantly gets reduced to being red sons aunt/mom/big sister despite them like. not having any actual interactions in the show. lady bone demon constantly gets overshadowed by her minion who has like 2 seconds of screen time, or she gets made into a cartoonishly abusive madwoman who people call lady bitch demon. just in general people act like shes a horrible person for like. being a villain. liks yeah the trying to destroy everything was bad but also she was an antagonist and thats what antagonists do LOL. spider queen gets completely ignored. princess iron fan gets made into a cartoonishly abusive mother so that way red son can have a poor angsty backstory and some male character (usually nezha, macaque, swk) can take care of him.

(also theres just a great deal of ethnocentrism in the lmk fanbase? like im white so take what İ say here with a grain of salt but so many people will misconstrue aspects of chinese culture for their own personal hcs. people will say male characters are transfem or nonbinary while completely ignoring the time period/culture their from where thats the norm. like yippee youve implied that an east asian man is feminine/emasculine because he has long hair. how do you not see the negative connotations with this. people also turn pif (& lbd to an extent) into a dragon lady which obviously has negative racial connotations lol.)

anyway this is where my unhinged rambling ends have a good day have a good night İ had more to say here but İ reached the text limit. İ dont see a lot of people talk about the misogyny thats prevalent in the lmk fanbase so İm glad youre pointing it out lol.

Yeah, I totally hear you. The lmk fandom has plenty of issues with misogyny and, like you said, ethnocentrism. It's definitely something worth having a discussion about, along with these issues in fandom as a whole.

#you seriously hit the nail on the head anon #(feel free to rant more! I appreciated reading yer thoughts) #tbh I think it's the purity culture like #If LBD and SQ were men. They'd be so popular it's not even funny #But because they're women. And women can't be flawed #(or their flaws are harder to justify- unlike a male character like Wukong. So they're a ''bitch'') #But don't worry! There's one girl character we can girlbossify and ignore all of those pesky flaws and characteristics!!! #I'm so sorry Mei #You're not a support character for spicynoodles to me #you're literally so insane about MK it's not even funny #she's going to become my fav character out of spite on god #when she was like ''what's the point of having power if you won't use it?'' #and azure was like ''i did not sacrifice everything to be an idle deity'' #And 1x03 was about her using her family sword (her power) to protect her house #And Azure used his sword (his power) to protect the world #And when Mei modeled her sword after Azure's (and now he's dead) #and when- *gets shot* #also Mei doesn't even have the fucking braincell #None of them have the braincell #They're all dummies. They're all scrambling around doing their god damn best #A main theme is the fact that no one knows what they're doing. Like #idk #lmk #lego monkie kid #torment nexus #asks #anon #lmk Mei

idc about the barbie movie but it is genuinely wild that people are acting like margot robbie not getting a best actress nom is some affront to feminism. as if the other best actress noms aren't also women or something. and getting really mad about justine triet's best director nomination instead of the other 4 men up for the award. "but ryan gosling got nominated!" yes for best male supporting actor, a category to which neither margot robbie nor greta gerwig belong. was there another male supporting actor you really want to nominate in his place? is it a rule that if you're a supporting actor nominee, the leads and director for the same project ALSO have to be nominated? twitter is sorting itself into armies based on whether they think the Movie Based on the $700 Million Toy Brand's nominations are Marxist Propaganda or the result of Boring Snobby Film Bros. people calling for Hollywood's demise 2 months ago are now inconsolable about Hollywood's opinion on their fave doll movie. the oscars are a joke to begin with but here we all are, honking our clown horns in the audience

#btw i am genuinely interested in your best supporting male actor picks that part wasnt sarcastic #i've watched a shit ton of movies this year but uh most of them were not from this year sooooo

...no, I still disagree with you.

i've seen the argument. i've seen you and others restate that argument. multiple times. and it's still no more solid than the opposition. 🤷‍♀️

a factual point is that B has destroyed so much more than W ever has, or ever could.

otherwise. you have no right to label people as bigots for not adhering to your headcanon.

#the role that you're describing... is pretty clearly meant to be filled by... J himself. in canon. #W is an afterthought. at best. #and you can make him whatever he needs to be for your story. #but. you really are just setting yourself up for disappointment to beatify this guy who exists as scraps of scraps. #which i am fully aware is rich to say in JT fandom. #but if J is untapped potential that was meant for more before being derailed and repurposed and revisited #then the posthumous supporting cast of his backstory are less than the shadow of shapeless smoke. #BG's bio parents have more characterization than W! and they hardly exist most of the time! #the saint that you need W to be for your lovely story #isn't what others must see. #and shut the fuuuuuuuuck up for just the slightest implication people wouldn't love their abusers #abusers are some of the most beloved people on the planet #many tend to collect vulnerable lonely people desperate to love something. #we are biologically wired to love our parents. that love can overcome ridiculous amounts of absolute BS. #abused kids aren't freaks or outliers or non-entities for loving their abusers. they're normal and more common than many want to accept. #and people in poverty statistically struggle to leave shitty male-dominated households. that's fact not just stereotype. #My cowardly vague post is cowardly. #If you manage to find this post and be upset by it then congrats.

When ppl post abt how much they don't like heavymedic or demosolly or whatever like omggggg really should we throw a party should we invite straight men from Twitter complaining about "forced diversity" in 2023

#people r always so 'let men be friends' about it. as established i don't believe in that it's unethical to let men be friends #i just don't support their lifestyle (platonic heterosexual male best friends) #open mick night #tf2 #team fortress 2

[bluemeetyellow]

honestly the mike monologue is only cringe if u read it as romantic

#i did not so i was fine ♥️ #again i think it. very much is not supported as romantic by the writing #it is SO just. wow they are best friends <3 #also man max. rlly. got such a crush on El 🥺🥺 #mayb i should be angrier cuz bi characters not being able to decide between male/female love interest is a long n tired trope #but its. i . 🙈 am not good so BAJSBSJS #st4 spoilers #i feel bad cuz i feel like im on a diff planet than every1 else rn bdjdbdj

Me reading a cool new novel: hah wow this is cool it has a neat premise and a promising plot line let’s see our protagonist level up and learn how to use his new power in interesting and cool ways—

*MC meets a beautiful powerful girl and defeats her

*MC meets a beautiful powerful girl and impresses her

*MC meets a beautiful powerful girl and rescues her

*MC meets a beautiful powerful girl and defeats her PT 2

Me: Ah nvm it’s a harem novel god damn it

#it was cool at first but now I’m grinding my teeth like wtf #I was okay with it at first bc like. he defeats the beautiful cold hearted prodigy by a hairs breadth and we get this sad backstory for her #which could be better’d by the MC who doesn’t fear her and can teach her how to socialize and become a brighter happier person through their #developing friendship and potentially romantic relationship and it could have led to character development for both of them as they struggle #through the feeling of being cast aside as an ‘other’ by society and learning how to stumble through a relationship that involves #communication and admittance and honesty #something our MC and FL can’t get through their mentors #instead we get her genuine attempts at becoming friends being brushed off by him who assumes she’s going to eventually want a romantic #relationship by the end of it and ARGHHXHHD she’s a shy person!! she’s trying her best!!! you asshole!!!! and then the author has the #AUDACITY #to make her continue yearning after this guy who doesn’t give 2 shits about her and she’s only used as a support character for the #ensuing battle and then he promptly leaves her behind for his own adventure #and don’t even get me STARTED on the lack of compatibility with the other women in this story #they aren’t even being used as potential love interests they’re just there so the author can say he added strong female characters and then #IMMEDIATELY turns around and makes them fawn over this 19 yr guy who cAn pRoTeCt ThEM AnD HEs sO cOoL FUCK #I was holding out but now he just annoys me dude this is why I don’t like reading male lead perspectives if there’s a DROP of romance #it ruins it! romance is dead no one knows what chemistry is they only want to be fawned over by women to stroke their egos #not a reblog

I've been watching Tomo chan is a girl, it's really fun and I mostly liked it a lot,but the comments on the streaming sites..oh man the comments... please save me..

How...just HOW can you look at Misuzu's actions,thoughts, and reflections and go "hmmmm she still has feelings for Jun" like...HOW??? It's so obvious...so damn obvious that the one she was attracted to has always been and still is Tomo.. it's not even subtext man, she's so gay and..man. why. Just why. Even the characters in the show (especially Jun, and also Carol) see it clearly and instantly understand she's thinking about Tomo . It's. it's so visibile YET how just HOW

#tomo chan wa onnanoko #misuzu gundou #I'm sorry...I am just Tired #I guess not reading the comments is always the best #damn how much heteronormative do you have to be to see such an obviously lesbian character as still being into the male mc #when her antics are so CLEARLY directed to the female mc #God #like #canon is fine for the most part at least #I did wish for Carol x Misuzu but I think them being platonic is ok too not too bad #I support Tomo x Jun obviously but I hate how these people fail to see Gundou's attraction towards Tomo #she's pining and they can see she's pining but THEY ASSUME IT'S FOR THE WRONG ONE #aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

and fuck gnf

#it's always been fuck gnf here to be clear #but i don't want to hear any more shit about male ccs. stop supporting these people #yes even “the good ones” who “would never” #discourse #caiti i wish you the absolute best in life

I got extremely sick and watched all of love between fairy and devil in a miserable haze and I've gotta say 1) bodyswapping at its finest 2) with slight tweaks the idiot ball did not need to be passed around so much/at all 3) the fuckup little brother industrial complex still has me in its grasp but this time I've gotta give it up for the shifufucker. they really nailed the miserable oblivion of quasi-incestuous all consuming devotion & that's not even my thing. Good job team!

#press says love story between fairy and devil #spoilers #ok I'm not going to use that #shifufucking #will be the tag for now #main ship cute but tbh I'm mad they tried to tell me she was never into second male lead #she can have had genuine romantic feelings for him and then still chosen the other guy it's FINE I promise #also everyone was passing the idiot ball around for a bit there and it made me extra annoyed because it was mostly such a charming show and #I was very invested! #and why was no one trying to bring the shifu to the goddess to be healed!!! they know she's back! #why didn't the dad try that before he tried treason? #why did wargod 2 leave moon god alone with their triple cultivation seed that is also their girlfriend? #and then with the goddess? it's so out of character #but they really sold me on the shizunfucking! #idk if that should serve as a warning or enticement to habitual shizunfucking enjoyers #i was sitting there unsure if I was queasy because of the relationship or because I was about to throw up again but compelled regardless #the best friends who love each other sincerely but will ultimately always have other priorities also got me but good #and imo really enhanced the shifufucking ship by way of adding to the tragedy of it all #great supporting cast all around! very fun #cw: forced kissing #if that is something you like I am sensitive to #but like. overall a deeply watchable trope fest with some a+ romantic moments #and pretty solid ot3 potential if you #like me #enjoy causing yourself pain by wrongship ping in every possible way

Acid storm is genderfluid pass it on

#Transformers #transformers animated #i think that was the one where it was basically cannon #genderfluid #the animators made an error where they kept switching between them having a male or female body #and just decided to say 'oh yea #thats an ability they have #they just like to do that sometimes #i was rewatching G1 with my dad #who got me into TF in the first place btw #and he pointed it out #like 'isnt that the thing you do' #supportive parentssss must protecttt #must cherish #even though they only appear in G1 for a sec #acid storm best seeker #screw you starscream #serves you right for only having one gender
