People who think Illumi is serious 24/7 and portray him as such drive me crazy have u seen that goofy ass man... Hes sarcastic and jokes in a twisted sense of humor only he gets all the time and he literally says "Yo" to greet people he's serious when needs to be but he is GOOFY
Like look at this guy. Goofy as fuck
I think the biggest giveaway to his goofiness is gittarackur. Out of all persona disguises to create he created the goofiest man that is always smiling and twitching and cracking when he moves like come on now. He is so very not serious
LIKE EVEN HISOKA SEES HIM AS A SILLY GUY LOOK AT HOW HE DEPICTS HIM IN HIS TOY BOX. SILLY BOY :33333

very sinister to me whenever i see posts that are like “it’s so cute/romantic how zuko is a dick to every member of the gaang except for [the one op happens to ship him with]!” first of all, the notion that “a troubled guy who is rude to everyone but you” is somehow a sweet romantic ideal is just eminently problematic. no one should want a boyfriend (or girlfriend, or partner of any kind) who is an asshole to all your friends and loved ones and everyone they’ve ever met, even if they’re the sweetest kindest cuddliest person when you’re alone. that’s just an obvious red flag. but also, it’s not even true?? zuko treats every member of the gaang like shit at some point during the latter half of book 3, even if he is also (somewhat) nice to them at other points. he yells at katara about “how unfair it is that she doesn’t trust him yet” (it’s not. it’s totally deserved), he brusquely dismisses toph’s feelings when she tries to open up to him about her childhood trauma, he basically mocks and belittles aang for clinging to the remnants of his culture that zuko’s direct forefathers literally wiped off the planet (which he does in multiple episodes, btw), he exploits sokka’s photographic memory for his own ends after interrupting his date to force him to recount one of the most traumatic days of his entire life like sokka is just there to be his genius butler or something, and he mostly just seems to pretend that suki doesn’t even exist. this also goes for every other character btw, including mai, ty lee, jin, song, jet, or whomever else you may ship him with. the only character zuko is consistently nice to is that kid lee from “zuko alone,” bc he’s healing his inner child or whatever. so romanticize the fact that zuko is inexplicably good with kids all you want, but when it comes to dating, i actually think zuko should take a vow of abstinence for at least the next decade or so.

wait a second...
I dont have the capacity to thoroughly ramble at this very moment but I just gasped with a realization and had to stop drawing to write this down
i know some of the characters (Death) refer to stein as "doctor," the fandom jokes about Stein not actually having a phd, and then NOT kind of playing devil's advocate to his supposed title but..
What if Stein's self-label as a doctor is a delusion of grandeur?
Furthermore--and something I have been thinking about and have been wanting to write an analysis post on--is when Stein suspects Medusa as a witch.. We as the audience know she is, but the characters don't. Although he was correct (and you could assume something of soul perception + he's not an idiot when he and Maka find Medusa in the alleyway), he didn't have concrete evidence until the gala. Was that a deliberate depiction of paranoia and accusation? Did he not trust himself to say anything more outright because of formed self-doubt in his past experiences with paranoia?
And, hey, while we're here, let's talk about Stein's obsession with religious imagery. In this essay I will be explaining why Professor Franken Stein from anime and manga series, "Soul Eater" is a perfect, thoroughly nuanced+covert, and respectful representation of schizophreni--

it's always bizarre to me when white ppl admit to not having any friends of colour, especially online friends. because, like, sure, if you live in idk poland, it makes sense that u don't have any friends of colour irl, but ? online ? where you can talk to literally ANYBODY from all over the globe ? and you still don't have any friends of colour ? i think you might be the problem there bud...

its honestly very funny when you see someone in this fandom who has very clearly fallen into a fandom microcosm and seem to have forgotten what the actual state of normality is. you see someone posting some nonsense like "it's actually okay to ship m/f pairings its okay if you prefer m/f pairing" like you're telling me it's okay to enjoy men and women interacting romantically in a predominantly straight fandom in a predominantly straight media form in a predominantly straight society??? yo that's wild!!!!! i truly can't believe it!!!!!!!! i also can't believe you personally are apparently under the thumb of some sort of all powerful gay cabal that's oppressing quote unquote straight people, do you perhaps have their urls and contact details so i can definitely avoid them at all costs....?
