@valiisthea brought to my attention a fun little detail I missed about the feast scene at Phoenix Gate --

I saw that agent 18s admin will no longer be acting on the QSMP and i sincerely hope they know how loved their characters were and the irreplaceable energy they bought to each role lighting up every moment they were in. They were able to create such dynamic fun and genuinely surprisingly lifelike characters with undeniable charm, overflowing with wit IN TWO LANGUAGES NONETHELESS. I hope they're proud of the work they did and that good opportunities are coming their way as it's more than deserved. Their fantastic rp wont be forgotten anytime soon.
on the other hand, you sly dog you, for months I was posting agent 18 content and investigaytors, HELL I COINED THE NAME INVESTIGAYTORS and got to know every account in my notifs that showed appreciation for my shitposts and analysis and told my friends "i'm posting for the fellow agent 18 girlies" only to now find out one of said agent 18 girlies was agent 18 themself??? you cannot imagine the stages of grief i went through recognising your user and pfp /j we both were lurking in the same agent 18 GC 💀💀
regardless, thank you so much for all you've contributed to this community, i wish you nothing but the best mate o7

I sure wish I had the mental spoons to draw sincere fanart instead of redrawing shitposts but until then this is what you all have to deal with

Fandom Problem #4194:
Trying to find actual sincere fanfic of media that's primarily known for being a joke meme, where the idea of anyone taking it seriously is considered a joke in and of itself. And I know it IS silly to take something like this seriously, but I still found something genuinely moving or thought provoking about it, and I thought if I looked online long enough there'd have to be someone out there who felt the same. I'm not saying people can't have fun or make jokes, but I wish it weren't so hard to find, or tell the difference when it starts out serious for a few paragraphs before turning into a shitpost.

Modern Ghosts AUs always take as given that, were he alive in the 2020s, Thomas would be the same mopey poetry boy he is in canon, just with a more up to date sense of fashion and reference pool. But I wish to present a challenge to that assumption. I posit that Thomas’s relationship to poetry is not really that of a man who is truly connected with language, or who sincerely wishes to utilise it to express beauty and feeling - rather, he is a man who just wants to be recognised as skilled in a highly regarded artistic medium of his day. He understands the aesthetics of poetry, but not the meaning, and this is why he is only capable of doing anything actually beautiful with words when he isn’t trying to impress. Therefore, a modern day Thomas would not be a failed poet.
He would be a failed shitposter.
Modern Thomas makes memes not even Elon Musk would retweet. Modern Thomas pretends to post while high even though he’s never touched a drug in his life. Modern Thomas reposts other people’s actually good posts to Reddit, but only after he’s added an unfunny comment so he can feel like he’s contributed. Modern Thomas insists that every bad joke he makes is ‘satire’. Modern Thomas makes parodies of movies he has not watched. Modern Thomas is only funny when he isn’t trying to be. Modern Thomas’s most hated rival is Dril.

Alright to start this ask off I'm just gonna say my interactions w/ you have genuenly been one of the funniest ive had in a long ass time. I've read ur recent post and I empathyse a lot. You seem incredibly funny and genuine. Idk your situation and your background and even your age, but I think you can and are pulling through. Things will get better even if you dont actively want them to. Im not saying this in a vague hope to make the situation you are in better. Im telling you, as a person who from the age of 14 went from therapist to therapist, somehow been on meds that dont fuckin exist yet in croatia, someone who feels trapped in the very /country/ she lives in with no means of escape, someone who is "waiting" for things to finally financially/academicaly/politicaly be better so that I can make something of my life. As it did for me, you will feel joy again in what you do, in what you have, and in what you can achieve. I think it's ok to be down, its ok to feel like "if a bus hit me tomorrow i wouldnt protest" but the thing about people is we adapt rather quickly. So putting yourself out there, going to places you are scared to and believe yourself to be an outcast from is exactly what gets you to meet people and see things that youll remember forever. And after a while the outcast will stop coming to these places, the person there will be someone who belongs. Apathy is a way of saying "fine whatever i dont even care anymore" but youll see how much you care.
I started getting ok after a full decade of *trying* and what I've always found is that for me the saying "don't take anything seriously" is no.1 rule. I get worked up, anxious and overwhelmed with so much so many times.
You may have problems with people at work with friends and whomever, but the main thing you gotta remember is *you cant change anyone but yourself*
And its not a change of personality, hair color, interests, its how much something will get to you, how willing are you to give something up thats not working out and how you will percieve something.
I have no doubt that you know all of this crap but i guess i wanted to say all of that just bc there is no greater pain for me than when i see someone feel like i did regardless of the reason or situation.
Keep on truckin and doing what u love even if its mpregfrance posting. I will always be here to send you to liking-france-jail, mwah <3
hello my sweaty angle <3 i'm sorry i'm just replying to this now. i had to sleep on it because your thoughtfulness deserves a sincere reply.
first of all - thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for being so kind, sweet and insightful and offering your support.
the fact that you would take the precious time out of your day to write this out for me is, in a word, unbelievable. i really appreciate you checking in, it's an incredibly caring thing to do. to be honest i'm a little overwhelmed by the magnitude of this unexpected message and i wish i knew how better to express my appreciation.
i really do love to hear that i made you laugh. i live to shitpost. i've always prided myself on my sense of humor and sometimes i feel as if it's slipping away, so it's reliving to hear i've still got it.
unfortunately i still haven't had the strength to eat. i'm heading to work in a bit. things are pretty rough right now, but when have they not been? obviously my present circumstances aren't the root cause of all my problems. in fact my life has improved since moving here.
extensive bianca lore and vulnerability under the cut, apologies in advance.
basically, in so few words, my current situation is that i'm nearly 25 and have nothing to show for it. i've lived in different cities across the US, had great jobs, apartments, friends, roommates, relationships, etc. i have done a lot of living in a short amount of time. but then, in retrospect, it feels like it stopped.
about 3 years ago i was in a very bad place mentally due to the isolation of the pandemic, and i met my husband online. in early 2022 i gave up everything, saved over $10k for the visa and moving costs, and relocated from the US to australia to live with him. our relationship itself has improved from how it used to be, but since the beginning we've had seemingly endless bad luck and financial setbacks.
last year, not long after our (very disappointing) wedding, i suffered a devastating miscarriage. ruptured ectopic, massive internal bleeding, required emergency surgery etc. not only was that traumatic emotionally, but i wasn't eligible for healthcare at the time bc of my immigration status, so we're still paying off the medical bill.
we share a house with my mother in law who is a domineering, emotionally incestuous single mom and an emotionally abusive narcissist. i don't throw that term around lightly, as so many people do these days, but i honestly believe she's devoid of empathy. she's admitted that she dislikes me and thinks i'm stupid because i don't talk much, and goes out of her way to make me feel unwelcome.
so i'm stuck in an area that feels, to me, like the middle of nowhere. i'm not homesick, i love this country. it's just that i'm not used to suburbs. i feel most comfortable in a city where there's people and places and things, neon lights and background noise and stuff to do.
i'd would be happy to live anywhere as long as it's not with her. it honestly feels like a prison sometimes. that sounds dramatic but she's cultivating an unbelievably hostile environment that causes me to feel on edge whenever she's around.
needless to say we need to move, desperately. it's our #1 priority. more than anything else i want a place of our own and eventually a family. we've been actively househunting for the better part of a year, but the rental market is catastrophically bad right now. it's not even about the money, since we're both working we can afford a decent place. it's just that it's so competitive. every showing i've attended, there's been like 30 other prospective tenants. we've been turned down from every apartment we've applied for.
on top of our living situation i have complex health issues that are just getting worse. my energy is zapped. trying to balance work work and housework leaves me with almost no free time to write.
this barely scratches the surface of why I Am The Way That I Am™. i'm not saying any of this to evoke sympathy or brag about 'having it hard'. simply trying to explain. my upbringing was abusive and dysfunctional in a number of ways. i just barely graduated high school. i never had traditional opportunities, i was raised in a way where there's basically no assumption/expectation that you'll ever be successful or fulfilled. i'm diagnosed with ADHD, PTSD and bipolar 2 - haven't been able to get my proper meds in australia. i've been addicted to hard drugs and alcohol. i'm not pleasant to be around. i will probably always look like and act like the lower class, white trash girl that i am. i have spent my entire life in survival mode.
i'm always in the midst of some identity crisis or running away from something. so yeah, i've been hurt and downtrodden. i've also experienced the beautiful side of life from time to time. i've gained a breadth of knowledge and met incredible individuals who introduced me to new perspectives and i'm forever grateful for them. with the way i've lived, i'm very lucky to not be dead or incarcerated right now.
ok, pity party's over. for real this time.
you're pretty much describing exactly how i feel. you know the struggle. the part about waiting to live my life; that's precisely where i'm at. i don't necessarily have a desire to fit in, i just want to get away into somewhere that i can adjust better to.
my isolation is partially due to a lack of energy but also i don't seek out interaction because i'm afraid no one else can understand me. not because i believe i'm too 'complex' or 'damaged' to be understood. that's a load of self-pitying bullshit. it's just scary to be truly seen. or vulnerable. or genuine. bc the results of such openness are unpredictable and uncomfortable.
it's hard, but i know i have to find it within myself to take that push. what's holding me back right now is mainly my material conditions, circumstances out of my direct control. i have no doubt i'll feel at least 50% better when i stop living with this woman.
i certainly have no problem with starting over if something doesn't work for me. contrary to what i might've described, i believe i'm pretty well adjusted, self aware and rational. as is obvious i don't take many things that seriously lmao. i went from caring wayyy too much about everything, being overly emotional and sensitive, to going entirely with the flow and accepting what i can't control or predict.
also i am well aware that you can't change people, that's never been my goal lmao i've never needed someone to tell me that <3
tl;dr, thank you. so much. this really uplifted and inspired me meli, thank you so much for being so thoughtful and compassionate.
it sounds like you're also stuck between a rock and a hard place in your own environment, and i'm sorry to hear that. it's a wretched feeling but i believe you you will thrive no matter the setting, because in all seriousness, you're incredibly talented. i hope you know you should follow your dreams. hell, it looks like you already are and you're giving us the privilege of witnessing it. your art is stunning, the passion and care you put into your work is obvious. your matthew is absolutely beautiful - like his maman.
from a rabidly devoted france woobifier to the designated france hater, i'm only going to say this once but you are validated in your distaste. i understand. you gotta admit though, he is a MILF.
if one thing is certain i will never stop frussyposting. in fact right now i am thinking about france hetalia big fat juicy boobies mmmm milky squishy. i'm giving her a teensy tiny little slut waist and childbearing hips. i would give him a brazilian butt lift but he doesn't even need it!!!
if that is a crime then lock me up. please. strap on the handcuffs and throw me in the crate for naughty little freaks teeheehee >:3
be careful tho. if you keep sending me gay ass love letters like this they're gonna start shipping toxic yuri melianca even harder <3

mutuals you’re thankful for in 2022?
(I even did it on anon for you!!!)
thank you DEAR ANONYMOUS FRIEND whose identity i totally do not know lmao because its not like i asked you to send this to me whattt that would be embarrassing
here we go (in no particular order, this is the way it shows up in my following list)
@fonkeloog : thanks for going along with my nonsense and being open minded and supportive about everything i do even if it's not your thing. love seeing you in my notifications, always <3 your poems and photography are everything, i sincerely wish you all the success with that in 2023. here's to another wonderful year of football and memri memes and kilt smut and complete discord chaos.
@heartofspells : holliiiiiii where do i even begin. meeting you this year has been a fandom changing experience, truly. i love everything you create even if sometimes it makes me cry and kick things. i hope things get less hectic for you this year so you can rain on us with more angst and poetic porn. thank you for letting me rant and brainstorm ideas and you're always welcome to dump your thoughts on me whenever <3 i never don't enjoy hearing those. hope we get to spit even more this year together.
@tracingpatternswrites : mallllll my LOVE. i think you're my fandom soulmate. everything you write makes me lose my mind and i care about all your pieces as if they're my own. thank you for being the push and support i needed to explore new things and pairings this year (here's to more threesomes and incest in the upcoming year ahaha). ALSO. we should. totally co-write something this year. something horrific and ground shattering. (once i'm done with all my oneshots). the internet would never recover.
@soloorganaas : bestieeee. what do i even say? you're literally like the only one of two and a half people in total on this website (one of them being me lol) whom i trust blindly and completely with our boys and with wolfstar in particular. it either takes us 13 business days to get back to each other or we can talk for 3 hours straight non-stop. we should do more things like hanukka wolfstar this year. push our (correct) agendas in this fandom. co-writing something with you one day would be the dream. maybe sometime this year?
@sweetpeasandlilies : bruh with the amount of stuff you've been through this past year i'm surprised you're still on tumblr akjdgh so HUGE respect for that seriously. i'm still blocked by like 27 people because of you lmao but good riddance i guess. ain't nobody gonna stop us. i live for your writing and for your shitposts. honestly. its everything.
@padfootastic : dude what can i say?? a breathe of fresh fucking air is what you are on this hellsite. and i know you're busy as hell these days but seeing you on here and your ideas and your writing (and your tagsss bruh your tags i read all of those just so yknow) is one of the things keeping me from losing my mind in here. if we had fandom elections i would vote you in as the authority on everything james potter and sirius black. i trust no one but you.
@mxlfoydraco : serra <3333 i live for your tags. you put drarry and amazing (actually diverse) fanart and Correct Opinions on our dashes and i love you for that. this place would not have been the same without you. fandom is alive and flourishing thanks to people like you who comment and give reccs and keep older fics and fanarts alive (and ship jegulus without disrespecting Sirius the MVP Black) and i couldn't be more grateful. please keep blessing us with your presence and the legendary Queue.
@leogichidaa : your writing is honestly ground breaking, and the limitless creativity of your genius ideas never fails to amaze me. if i had to hire a team of writers for a canon marauders story, you would be the first on that list - we need more people who do reg and the others justice with their writing. i can't wait to see what else you will bless us with this upcoming 2023 <33
@artemisia-black : it's hard being a person with Correct Opinions(tm) on a site like tumblr in a fandom like the marauders but you are doing AMAZING. please never stop writing what you write and talking about the Blacks, people like you and your metas are the backbone of this fandom. wish i could make everyone sit down and read those before they touch our precious characters.
@sequinhaze : yazz! very excited and honoured to be calling you a mutual tbh, after i've been stalking your blog and writing forever now lol. you are Wrong about prongsfoot but i forgive you for that because you're Right about literally everything else and that's so much more important to me. i selfishly hope that you never stop writing for this fandom because you offer such a refreshing take on most characters and your characterisation is always on point. ily. wishing you peace and happiness this upcoming year (and wishing myself loads of unbreakable heaven porn w feelings).
@broomsticks : jackieeee you're one of the rare people in this fandom who is completely open minded to new ideas and dynamics, and is the definition of a multi-shipper. i don't think i know one single other person on this hellsite who likes both remadora and wolfstar and blackcest and peter and snape and isn't afraid to talk about it. alsoo! your tagging system. duude. i wish my blog looked like that wtf.
@elvendorx : (i forgot what your main blog is sorryyy) - we didn't really get a chance to interact much yet but i just wanted to let you know that your metas on the mwpp in general and james and sirius in particular are absolutely golden and i appreciate them so much. wish i could make it a legal requirement to fully read and sign those before anybody so much as thinks of writing about j&s. looking forward to more of you in 2023.
@roalinda : thank you for putting prongsfoot on my dash <33 we desperately lack content for them and even the blogs that do post about them are usually still centric around a different ship. we need more people like you honestly. and i looove your additions in the tags, always read those.
@squintclover : rorryyyyy <33 your microfics and your writing are everything. i love it. always appreciate seeing you on my dash. i hope we get more chances to interact this upcoming year and i can't wait to find out what you've got in store for us.
@benjamin-ovich : i just want to thank you for writing what is one of the most amazing and heart breaking prongsfoot masterpieces i've ever read. i still need to leave a proper comment on that which is not just me screaming incoherently but just know that i've gone back several times to reread some parts. especially the first chapter and the memories. ((the scene where sirius tries to roughly "fuck lily out of him" lives in my head rent free. literally. one of the hottest prongsfoot scenes in existence wtf)).

given the current situation with this decade-plus some years old nerdy site, i'm very much scared and aware of the possibility of losing thousands and thousands of creations, essays, drawings, shitposts, memes, fandom created headcanons and studies born after love and dedication, and more than ever, hyperfixation
I'm extremely saddened at the bare idea of seeing all the posts of those many deactivated accounts erased, whom art is only kept alive by reblogs or even into people's memory
If i could, i would try to print every creation that sparked happyness in my heart even just for a while, if that would mean to save it. Even if it would be an smashing weight of material to print or download into somewhere else
Most of all, i would regret loosing all the niche communities created after the aformentioned hyperfixations
All the work and energy put into creating a small dwelling of our own- the homely niche community- can be blown off in a snap of finger, so as the little connections the people have made
There are some users on this site that i barely interacted with, someone at all, actually; that i would sincerely miss, if vanished. And that, because for months we exchanged, sometimes, not even always- reblogs. It wasn’t talking, or chatting, but they were signals of small human to human connection nontheless. It's like waving at a neightbor or a shopkeeper from a shop under you appartment, that you still haven’t catched their name yet; even after all these years, where you indeed saluted them, or even bought something from. But still, you enjoy to say 'good morning' to them, because they seem a good person, or interesting, that you simply wish to continue to wave a shy 'hi!'.
The thought of making friends on the internet, by a mutual love for a certain work of fiction is capable of stirring a smile onto me, a kinda special smile- a niche smile- kept for this specific and relatively new experience to me
Is this a love letter for all the hyperfixated neightbours and shop keepers i waved a salute to in these...two years? Yes indeed
What about it? I dunno, in case i'll leave a trace of me in the tags as a plan 'b', to another place people that still wish to say even just 'hi' can find me if things here go sour
Other things? I'll cry and be inconsolable when all the content of the users kept in this site (if it ever happen) will vanish

hey I saw on twitter someone called you a racist , can you post thah anon? I cant believe it how can people be like that
or did you delete the ask?
Hey anon! Thanks for coming to me directly. You're a sweetie <3
You know what, I wasn't going to address this because it's so stupid, but I figure I have nothing to hide.
What happened was I made a joke that was like "if you voted for thomastair (in the least popular ship poll), you're a monster block me." It was intended in the same tone as Will telling Tessa she's a monster for hating chocolate, or me telling one of my best friends she's a monster for not liking ice cream. This did not go over well online since it's hard to indicate tone, and I am an awkward person. I got this anon. You can read my response beside it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I am sincerely sorry to those who were hurt by my initial comment.
However, this still sits poorly with me because Thomas and Alastair literally have sex on page and are all over each other throughout the book. My intention wasn't to accuse anyone of homophobia, it was to shed light on the way that this was perceived because I quite frankly see no way to perceive Thomastair as platonic.
Even if you don't like them. They're all over each other.
Anyway, I then got this anon:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I didn't reply to it because I was sincerely sorry for hurting their feelings and I didn't want any drama. So I deleted the offending posts, having apologized.
Also, this response has a lot of really obvious flaws, and I originally didn't feel like picking apart the anon in ways that I think are just common sense.
But if I have to reply to this ask, fine.
I don't think Kit is aroace because he's neurodivergent, I think he's aroace because he consistently shows a lack of interest in relationships. Other neurodivergent characters like Henry and Ty are obviously not aroace.
I don't think Grace is aroace because she was abused. Abuse doesn't always make you aroace. I just like her in a qpp with Kit. As for Alastair, he's canonically gay. Attracted to men. They're incomparable in the text.
I do not think Charles is violent. I have specifically said "STATUTORY rape." Alastair was a kid he groomed when he was 14-16. I don't think it was violent, but it's statutory rape.
I fail to see how my thinking that a woman of color (Cordelia) who I adore could do better than a specific white man is racist. I also am not denying that they're in a relationship as anon is doing with Thomastair. Also I'm not a Jordelia anti, I like them fine since Cordelia is happy. I just don't find their dynamic interesting.
As for Jem, don't care. I just don't care about this character. And I never said I wanted to erase him from existence, I just said he's overused in current content and I wish he'd be utilized less frequently.
I also was linked to a post where I'm apparently being fileted for this shitpost:
Tumblr media
I don't think this post is controversial, and it also wasn't directed at any one person. In fact, the individual who took offense to it was totally off my radar until like 2 days ago when I was sent the post. They could not be less relevant to me and I definitely have never thought of them when making a post.
Thomastair is just a ship that is to me- and apparently many other people, considering my engagement- synonymous with hope and happiness. Because that's what they represent, hope and second chances and healing. Generic posts like this are just... generic. If someone I haven't thought about in months feels personally attacked, that's not my problem.
This is all I'm going to say about this. I will not be answering more anons about it or addressing any juvenile callout posts that anyone chooses to make. Honestly this experience is mostly funny to me because, like, I am just some random blogger on the internet at the end of the day. The block button is great. Use it.

I agree with brazenautomaton that you've gotten the point of the Truman Show backwards, but to get a bit more specific as to why - Truman isn't surrounded by extras, he's surrounded by actors. His status as the protagonist is a side effect of the way that everybody around him has been constantly lying to him all the time. It isn't about being the lone real person (complimentary) in a world of NPCs; it's about being the lone real person (derogatory) in a world-sized confidence scheme. A version of Harry Potter reflecting a similar structure and themes would probably not have the same type of mass appeal and would not get the wish fulfillment label; it would be a much darker take where Harry has to fight tooth and nail through the whole story to finally escape from the Dursleys' control into the magical world at the very end of the story (not at the end-of-act-one-in-book-one mark), and it would be a story where the secrecy associated with magic is treated as something truly focally horrible, not as a narrative vehicle for beginning the protagonist's Hero's Journey and starting him off as a fish-out-of-water blank slate character whose presence justifies exposition. Truman's existential revelations comprise a betrayal from his universe that invalidates everything that seemed good in his life; Harry's comprise an escape hatch that makes his miserable dead end living situation irrelevant. You might have been shitposting and not posting a sincere take, but if you were serious, your take strikes me as roughly equivalent to saying that Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind (Carrey's other big serious high-concept film) is an escapist fantasy about starting a relationship over fresh with the slate wiped clean.
Eternal Sunshine is definitely a better movie, but now I'm thinking perhaps the closest analog to Truman is actually Prince Andrew: someone living in a bubble of importance his entire life while being no one of consequence at all.

(I should’ve done this sooner whoops) I want to wish an extremely happy new year to all of you but especially to my Heisenberg moots without whom I sincerely don’t think I would have made it through some days. I know that’s dramatic sounding but y’all have never been anything but kind to me and it matters so much. As someone who spent who huge chunk of their life rejecting friendships due to trauma, your encouragement and support of me, my renewed interest in art & writing, and unwavering presence in spite of the worst shitposts you’ve ever seen has been life changing and I think you all should go get yourselves a tasty treat or gift from me today. Or at least do something extra nice/relaxing. ❤️

Tokoroplasmosis: Ichijou Fans' Brainworms
(Disclaimer: This is just a long shitpost. Please don't take it seriously. As there are inappropriate jokes, no one under 18 can read it. Please do not read if you dislike self-deprecative and vulgar humour.)
Tumblr media
Microscopic image of Tgd. gondii parasites infesting a human brain.
Tokoroplasmosis (to-ko-ro-plaz-MOE-sis) is a brain disease caused by the parasite Tokorogadokkoi-plasma gondii.
Just as Toxoplasmosis the cat parasite is common throughout the world's population, Tokoroplasmosis is common amongst Kaiji fans, with an estimated number of more than 60%.
If you suspect you have Tokoroplasmosis, please read on to find out your symptoms, and how you can escape this dark bog.
Tumblr media
Do you think this sadistic villain is funny and cute?
Tumblr media
"Tokoro ga dokkoi.... Yume ja arimasen....! Genjitsu desu....! Kore ga genjitsu..!" If you laugh and cheer during this scene, you are tokoroplamosis-infected. (LINE official colourised version of an infamous scene.)
How to contract it
Visual and audial exposure to the character Ichijou Seiya from Kaiji is the cause of Tokoroplasmosis, but only when combined with certain other factors. As such, some people are effected, whereas other people are naturally immune.
Let us take a look at the psychological profile of the individual predisposed to Tokoroplasmosis infection.
If you:
Enjoy certain moe attributes: yandere, tsundere, femboy, business suit, etc
Have a sadistic or masochistic tendency
Are used to the artstyle
A fan of Namikawa (I do wish he was voiced by Yuu Kobayashi though)
A cat lover (already toxo-infected)
then you are at high risk of tokoro-infection.
Symptoms
If you find yourself saying phrases such as:
"Ichijou did nothing wrong"
"Ichijou should have won"
"Ichijou will come back soon"
"Ichijou will team up with Kaiji to defeat the Chairman"
"Ichijou will get revenge and kill Kaiji"
"Ichijou is so cute"
etc
not as a joke, but sincerely feeling it in your heart, your kokoro is tokoro-infected.
Is it dangerous?
Masochistic and impulsive behaviours such as gambling may increase. Otherwise, not much is known.
Is there treatment?
Tokoroplasmosis has no known cure. You can never escape this bog. The only thing you can do is avoid Ichijou-related stimuli. Do not view NND dokkoi MADs, for example.
Are Toxoplasmosis patients more liable to become Tokoroplasmosis-infected?
Yes, it helps. In my experience, most Ichijou fans are 'cat people'. The groundwork is already paved. Ichijou looks and acts like a cat, his hair intakes resemble cat's ears, his large twinkling eyes are like those of a cat, he has catlike movements and gestures. He calls Kaiji a dog multiple times (like many characters in the series), just like how cat characters in cartoons hate dogs and act snobby towards them. If they're fighting like cats and dogs, it must mean that Ichijou is a cat; inherently attractive to the toxo-infected.
Is Tokoroplasmosis linked to mental instability?
In reality, Toxoplasmosis the cat parasite disease, is linked to development of various mental illnesses such as schizophrenia- this is no laughing matter. You can rest assured that "Tokoroplasmosis" is only linked to mild eccentricity and perversion.
Tokoroplasmosis and sexual perversion
Tokoroplasmosis, much like Toxoplasmosis (there are academic studies), is linked to development of dangerous abnormal fetishism. Mice are usually afraid of cats. Toxo-infected mice become sexually aroused by the scent of cat urine. The toxo-mice run excitedly towards the cat's litter box and waste materials, where the cat lures them in, devours and destroys them.
If you are excited by Ichijou omorashi, or any Ichijou doujins for that matter, you are severely tokoro-infected.

If this diagram makes you excited, and you do not play baseball, you are tokoro-infected.
On the contrary: it is so common that it may be considered normal, or even 'healthy'
Ichijou is one of the most popular Kaiji characters. He always gets in the top 5 or top 3 on Kaiji character popularity polls, in both East and West.
Just as cat lovers, albeit eccentric, can lead healthy lives even with Toxoplasmosis, the same is true for Ichijou's fans.
However, there are subtle changes in the behaviour and culture of these patients.
Who is the ultimate Tokoroplasmosis patient?
A bread-shaped man named Murakami Tamotsu. Murakami's Tokoroplasmosis is truly severe.
Another Tokoroplasmosis patient may be Kurosaki Yoshihiro. However, his case is more mild and subtle, a latent case.
Perhaps even Itou Kaiji himself is tokoro-infected: "ICHIJOU.. ICHIJOU.. ICHIJOU.. ICHIJOU.. ICHIJOU.. ICHIJOU.. ICHIJOU.. ICHIJOU.. ICHIJOU.. ICHIJOU.. ICHIJOU.. ICHIJOU.. " (seriously who could yell his name 12 times in a row w) "YOU BETTER COME BACK…!"
Does Ichijou himself have it?
Yes, in fact he is the definitive host. Just as T. gondii reproduces in cat intestinal tract, Tgd. gondii reproduces in his intestinal tract. This is part of why many people are attracted to him intimately. Tgd. gondii's modus operandi is to enter the 'winning hole' and reproduce in there.
How to tokoro-infect someone
You can show them this official article published in Kodansha Morning. It is a truly dangerous article written by a severely tokoro-infected person. It is expertly designed to transmit Tokoroplasmosis to anyone who reads it. When reading it, you can feel the writer's deep level of affection for Ichijou, and these feelings are transmitted to you.
Do you have Tokoroplasmosis?
Yes, and I will have it for as long as I live. Ichijou is so cute.
