Come watch dungeon meshi we have a (seemingly) typical white autistic man who doesn't understand social norms, an autistic man of colour who overcompensates for social deficits by being too good at social norms (while still struggling socially), and we even have the "grew up autistic but also Asian so I have a very good understanding of cultural and social norms but I still struggle socially" variety of autistic man.

#this post lacks a great deal of nuance obviously #but seriously i love how toshiro/shuro kabru and laios are all so clearly autistic just in very different ways #you dont get to see that often in media #and Ryoko Kui's writing is really good so she's able to explore the dynamic in pretty interesting ways #dungeon meshi #laios touden #shuro dungeon meshi #toshiro nakamoto #shuro dunmeshi #dunmeshi #kabru of utaya #kabru dungeon meshi #delicious in dungeon #kabru

The Session

Seems like Vlad has made some progress; but there's still one final step he needs to conquer!

(Wanna thank @ectospacecadet for helping me come up with some of the dialogue ideas for this one!)

broke: haru hates akechi and doesn't talk to him ever again after he comes back

woke: haru chooses to be kind without forgiveness and akechi doesn't know how to live with her genuine compassion because it'd be so much easier if she hated him instead

#sera posts #of course there'd be resentment and other complicated emotions I don't want to oversimplify or reduce haru to her kindness #but I just think thats such a more interesting dynamic to explore than 'haru doesn't talk to him' like!!! #haru choosing kindness and akechi Not Getting It. he wants her to hate him bc it's easier and simpler and he doesn't have to #live with the girl whose father he killed in his life. but haru says no. you don't get to leave my life and pretend I don't exist #you don't get the satisfaction of my hate. her kindness is a weapon!!!

Mhmm I sure love thinking of the reality where we did get more time to really know Karai and her dynamics with the bros. Losing her hit hard in the finale, but it would’ve hit much, much harder had we known Karai longer and really saw her relationships develop with everyone.

I especially would have been interested in her dynamic with Leo, as past iterations often have the two of them clash in ideals and the like while still sharing many characteristics. Two sides of the same coin, and all that. Her specifically being the bros’ Gram-Gram also adds a whole new dynamic as well.

Imagine how interesting it would be, to have Karai start off on Leo’s side for once, showing wholly just how alike the two are at their cores and bonding as family without the worry of betrayal or animosity that other iterations suffer through, only to have Karai die anyway. Their parting hug and the desperate look of horror Leo wears later on would have hit that much harder, I feel.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rise of the tmnt #rise karai #rise leo #rottmnt karai #rottmnt leo #I think a lot about these two in particular #and how that dynamic could have flourished #the way it was depicted in the finale is so purposefully unique and painful like #that hug man #can you imagine how much more heartbreaking that would have been if we knew her longer #not that it wasn’t already sad but we just simply didn’t know her long enough to be completely attached #also imo having more episodes with her and in general would have presented something I’ve been thinking about since the finale #so like - I like to think each bro kinda immediately leans more toward certain family members #Mikey has Draxum #Donnie has April #Raph has Splinter because this is another one that would be SO GOOD and make the finale moment where Raph sees his memories hit harder #if they had an ep or two more of Splinter and Raph together bc I really do feel like Raph respects Splinter most of the four #and finally- Leo has Karai #and then he loses her #imo? this would align with the movie even more #because it was the act of heroism that kinda killed her in a way - makes sense that Leo would initially be leaning away from that #and yet he ends up exactly like her anyway #haha sorry for rambling I just really love the interesting dynamic these two tend to have #and it’s a shame we didn’t get to see it really explored in rise #but yeah make no mistake while I’m focusing on Leo here I wanted more for all the boys and karai #Mikey’s little moments with her were so sweet and we already know how much he yearns for more family #Karai being from an age long gone would mean she’d be super impressed by literally any invention Donnie has (adult validation!!) #and could you imagine her training with Raph - with this training being referenced in the finale?

the real tragedy of tlou is that in saving ellie’s life, joel dooms their relationship. it’s not tragic that he killed a hospital of ppl and prevented a cure bcus we have no emotional attachment to any of those people or the notion a cure might actually work and fix the world. we’ve travelled across that world with ellie and joel and seen how it’s in pieces and how unlikely it could ever be fixed the way the fireflies imagine. but emotionally we ARE with joel and ellie and as we see them in that car and hear joel tell his lie and see ellie’s face, we know that things can’t be the same for them again. i am now and have always been of the opinion that joel lies in that moment to protect her from her feelings of guilt and the burden of thinking she has 2 save the world (and ive always said too he should have told her the truth eventually instead of her having to force his hand to get it), but regardless of that the choice joel made and the lie is always going to be between them. things will always be a little different now. an unspoken thing that eats away at the space between them, making it bigger and bigger. and that’s why it’s really tragic because joel picked ellie’s life over and above anything else cus he loved her and thus knew her life had value independent of being a cure to save the world and she should get to live it, but whilst she is living it (something she is only able to do cus he saved her), he has to watch from afar. he saves her and loses her at the same time.

#this is not me saying i agree with the complete estrangement they have in part 2 #that’s still so divorced from the things they do for each in part 1 i just can’t see it #but ive always said that i can see their relationship being different/colder/not remotely as close #especially as she gets older and keeps asking about the hosp and he keeps lying like he should have fessed up when it was eating her up #and honestly the whole thing would have been so interesting to explore in part 2 if they’d done it properly instead of #killing joel off so fast and being very dull in how they explored their new dynamic with that lie between them #anyway i digress #tlou #the last of us #joel miller #ellie williams #the last of us spoilers

I'm thinking about radiodust again, but imagine. Alastor and Angel going on an outing for the hotel together.

(Forced bonding activity, maybe. Alastor tries to get out of it by claiming he had things he needed to do and pick up, and Charlie just said Angel can go WITH him instead for it to count.)

Angel is anxious because he KNOWS how it looks to go anywhere with someone. And despite his face he knows Smiles isn't one to take insults lightly.

Alastor, however, THRIVES off attention and people wanting to know what's going on with him. He loves this, it's fueling him. He might ask Angel to accompany him on ALL his outings from now on because the immediate reaction of everyone who sees them is Very Entertaining.

Once Angel realizes that Alastor isn't going to freak on him for all the attention they're getting just by virtue of being there, he starts to enjoy it. It's nice to do something as mundane as going out with someone (even if it ain't a date), without the expectation for how that will end.

PLUS while they're getting a lot of attention, this is one of the first times he's gone anywhere without someone catcalling him or yelling some version of "Slut!" from across the street. (Someone did happen to yell "The RADIO DEMON is fucking ANGEL DUST?!?!" but they didn't remain in the afterlife long, and since then no one has yelled a single thing at him. S'nice.)

It also until that very moment didn't occur to Angel just how much RESPECT he could garner just by being next to Alastor. He goes into a store to pick something up and is just dealing with his normal level of disrespect and harassment before Alastor pops up behind him to see what's taking so long.

It only takes one instance of a tilted head and focused eyes on the sales associate, with a casual "Is there something keeping you, Angel, dear?" for everyone on this side of the pentagram to immediately assume that messing with Angel Dust means messing with none other than the RADIO DEMON. (If it has the added benefit of pissing off the Vox, AND makes Val a bit more wary about messing with Angel, then that's just a bonus.)

You can take this as platonic or romantic, but Angel swoons a bit anyway at the Southern Gentleman treatment, in either case.

And this is the catalyst for them to begin getting along, without Angel feeling the need to put up his over-sexualized porn star persona as his safest way to interact with Alastor.

(IMO, both huskerdust and radiodust work so well because Angel deserves someone who treats him well and respects him for who he is, and not what he can do for them. He deserves a good ol' fashioned lover boy to take care of him, both romantically and platonically, and that's why I love both ships.)

#hazbin hotel #radiodust #alastor #angel dust #hazbin alastor #hazbin angel dust #sometimes the brain rot gets the better of me #i just think they'd have such an interesting dynamic if it ever got explored in the show #fic #mine #long post #? #sorry i just get so many fics and headcanons and the like the SECOND i begin to ship literally anything and im incapable of not making #everyone else see it too

Akihiko becoming a cop is something that simply doesn’t happen in the coma route cuz Shinji would see that shit and be like Aki what the actual hell is wrong with you

#persona #persona 3 #akihiko sanada #shinjiro aragaki #akishinji #i guess #im making it that way lol #see if you know me you know i actively avoid p4 arena like the plague both cuz i hate p4 and cuz #i simply have no interest in how the p3 characters turn out if this is whats being done to them #i seen how akihiko and mitsuru look I HATE IT I HATE IT SO MUCH I WANNA EAT GRAVEL #the only character i care about is ken really i approve of him getting to be a funny teenager i love my baby boy so much #but i watched the akihiko social episodes for reload and he talks about becoming a cop and i was just like. of fucking course 😞 #we just cant escape this shit huh theres always gotta be a cop character for some reason #i consider this a bad ending for him cuz even though atlus and their copaganda loving asses would probably looove to tell me otherwise #theres literally no way shinji would stand for that shit like my guy has beef with the kirijos and was a homeless addict #so you know cops wouldnt like him and hes seen some shit #they had to kill him cuz hed tell the truth sldjks #i definitely am gonna explore this dynamic in my fic but you know. no way in hell is aki gonna be a cop on my watch lol #maybe he can be like. a PE teacher or some shit akskkls

[muchmossymess]

Why is everyone here so obsessed with sex and romance why can't you appreciate the comedic genius of "rivals who fight about parenting to rile the other up to begrudging coparents who bicker like a divorced couple to actually maybe tolerating the other and the insults are now less spiteful and biting to hells first qpr (queerplatonic rivalry) to hells first qpr (queerplatonic relationship)"

#like. gah. there is so so so many interesting ways to take this dynamic and you chose kiss and fuck #i can excuse the aphobia but i draw the line at ooc dynamics (ITS A JOKE A REFERENCE A JOKE I DONT EXCUSE APHOBIA) #sigh #i can excuse all the smut to a point but like. you took the (ONLY) canonically sex repulsed character and made him fuck the dilf #and you didnt even make it an exploration of sexuality with the realisation sex isnt necessary for a relationship #or that its ok to actually hate sex #(when it involves yourself. so long as its safe sane and consensual its not really your business) #ughbkembaalgk ive lost my train of thought i think its late but yeah im just a lil pissy about the casual aphobia #dont even get me started on the blatant stuff ffs #radiostar #radioapple #appleradio #alastor #hazbin hotel #hazbin alastor #moss' madness

[skyward-floored]

Honestly I love people who ship twilight princess zelink. They saw like two cutscenes with them together and went "they should kiss"

#and they were right #tp zelink #zelink #legend of zelda #rambles from the floor #I only half ship it tbh #for me its about the POTENTIAL #there's so many ways you can explore their dynamic #whether you make it romantic or not #it's interesting #their few canon interactions only makes it more fun to play with #so many options #I like what it CAN be

[kyouka-supremacy]

Tbh less fic writers completely forgetting about Kyouka's existence when Akutagawa is staying at Atsushi's house and more Kyouka just... Being 14 and honestly not wanting to deal with the ordeal of his brother's very fucked up love life.

What I mean is Kyouka late at night bothered by the noise opening the door of her room to find a bloodied and butchered Akutagawa on the verge of passing out, Atsushi frenetically trying to hold him up and simultaneously keep him quiet, both freezing in place as soon as they see her; Kyouka looking at Atsushi, looking at Akutagawa half fainted in Atsushi's arms, looking back at Atsushi, mentally going “that's not my shit to give” and announcing she'll be spending the night at Yosano's / Kenji's / Lucy's

#There's actually a really good fic about Kyouka's feelings as sskk are getting together- #it's called “I'm Glad You Have Eachother” by why_cant_turtles_fly on ao3 #kyōka izumi #atsushi nakajima #ryūnosuke akutagawa #sskk #shin soukoku #bsd #bungou stray dogs #mine #q. #12/12/22 #I just find the Kyouka / Akutagawa dynamics so so interesting!!!!! And so fun to explore!!!!!!! #Chapter 49 isn't my very favorite chapter out of literally them all for nothing.

[zukkaoru]

see the thing about beast ships is that literally every other ship is more compelling than s.kk. i need more beast rarepair fics give me beast kunichuu beast souheki beast chuuran beast taniaku beast atsujuni beast tachigin beast tanihara beast higugin etc etc etc i wanna know how their dynamics change with the different universe vs what aspects stay the same!!!! how would kunikida deal with the moral crisis of falling for a mafia executive when he hasn’t had dazai working by his side and he hasn’t gone through the azure king/messenger incidents? does ranpo feel conflicted about hooking up with the man who has assumed mori’s old role? how do gin and tachihara work together when gin isn’t his partner but rather placed in a higher role than him? what about gin and higuchi when their relative placements in the mafia hierarchy are reversed? can we stop discussing flat boring fanon dynamics that don’t come remotely close to getting the characterization right and start contemplating everything else PLEASE

#like obviously beast isn’t about the ships. but if you NEED to ship something #why not actually make it interesting?? #there’s so much that could be explored for all of these dynamics and more!!! #but instead everyone is obsessed with turning chuuya into sad baby and dazai into bad boy domtop 😐 #with your help we can make the bsd beast tags on ao3/tumblr a better more diverse place #please im literally on my hands and knees begging for any besst fics that arent s.kk please PLEASE PLEASE I CAN TTAKE IT ANYMORE #hello grace here

[tragedry]

What's your fav dynamic between Ashlyn and Tyler?

older brother tyler (who's used to taking care of everyone he cares about, and has made it his entire personality) x only child ashyln (who's used to being self-reliant, so isn't used to relying on anyone to take care of her)

#it's the fact that their difference allows them to complete each other... #and then we get to their very similar personalities (ie their sarcastic nature and no nonsense attitude) #honestly they have so many very interesting dynamics that i need to explore and talk about #school bus graveyard #sbg #ashler #ry.plies #anon ask

[eriochromatic]

Hey ! I absolutely adore your art, especially the recent Baroque Works pieces ! I was just wondering whether you knew about the Crocodad/crocomom theory and what you think about it if you do ? Have a good weekend!

Thank you so much! I do know about the croco theory haha, I think the first part about him being trans is absolutely true LOL (you can just assume that all the Crocodiles I draw are trans no matter what AU I put him in)

The part about him being Luffy’s parent I don’t really subscribe to, I just feel like he doesn’t need to have any ties with the revolutionary army? It doesn’t really add anything interesting to his character imo.

The timeline just invites too many contradictions imo, Crocodile starts living in Alabasta when he was 30, but then age wise Luffy would’ve been born when he was 27. When would he have fought whitebeard then?? He’s not a reckless person, I don’t think he would fight Whitebeard if he had a 3 year old to take care of.. If it was prior to Luffy, why did he join the RA later and then leave??? (and imo I personally think he fought Whitebeard soon after he became a warlord, maybe around 23-25, but a warlord joining the RA also makes zero sense) To me the Luffy parent part of the theory makes Crocodile’s characterization kind of messy, and we also don’t know enough about Dragon to predict whether or not he’s the type to have one night stands LOL

Maybe I’m being too nice in thinking that Crocodile won’t abandon a child immediately after they were born but I guess the whole Luffy parent thing just doesn’t fit with my vision of him haha, it feels more in character for him to have sought out Iva, transed his gender and went “ok we will never speak of this again” than have all this baggage with Dragon and the revolutionary army. Also I feel like if Luffy was Crocodile and Dragon’s kid then Iva definitely would’ve known.. but idk those are just my thoughts haha

I don’t hate the theory I mean I think the idea of Crocodile raising Luffy is a funny one and there’s been a lot of nice art that’s been inspired by it! But it’s just not something I think about often since the other half of the theory hinges on Dragon who is like a non-character to me.

also like we have confirmation from Oda what Crocodile's son would turn out to be if he ever raised a kid and this snotty brat is Not Luffy.

So if anything I just don't want to entertain the thought of Luffy turning out like that HAHAHA

#erio stuff #sorry for the longwindedness but I love Crocodile #and I will talk hours and hours abt him lol #anyways I think of Crocodile was in child Luffy's life he would be one of the “stay away from him he's a bad influence” uncle instead #not that Luffy would care though #The impel down AU I did a while back kind of explores that but #to be quite honest for that AU I was much more interested in the bby Ace and Croco dynamic instead #bc I think Luffy would be way closer to Buggy and Galdino in that AU

[deathlessathanasia]

Every time I see people try to make the children of Kronos and Rhea into some big happy loving family who are so close and would do anything for one another I can't help but instantly remember that Demeter had her child kidnapped by one of her brothers and that another brother sanctioned the kidnapping and didn't bother to inform her either before or after, that the same brother killed her lover (it is pretty clear in the Odyssey at least that Demeter slept with Iasion willingly), that her third brother raped her, that Hera and Poseidon tried to put Zeus in chains, that in multiple variants Hera is responsible for the birth of Typhon because of her anger against Zeus, that Zeus inflicted on Hera a form of public torture the ancient Greeks used for slaves, that he made a Giant try to rape her and only killed him when she cried out for help, that Poseidon dried up the rivers of the Argolid in revenge for them choosing Hera instead of him to preside over the region, that in Claudian's De Raptu Proserpinae Ceres imagines Juno taking satisfaction in her suffering, that-

#like... I have nothing against people interpreting things in any ways they want but this doesn't work for me at all #greek mythology #greek gods #zeus #hera #poseidon #demeter #hades #hestia #I'm assuming everyone gets along with Hestia though. no evidence suggests otherwise #but needless to say that I have 0 interest in any exploration of this family #if it involves making up more palatable dynamics and disregarding the awful treatment they inflict on one another in the source material #again: if you feel the need to change everything about a character or a relationship you don't actually like them #if you're writing about a loving and supportive family you're not writing about the Kronids. Full stop #ramblings
