Agreed ‼️‼️🤘👍👍👍 nakaba needs to include lancelot more in percy group because lately it is lancelot like lancelot isnt a part of the group to be honest. Ever since I reveal himself as a human/fairy hybrid
By the way whats a unpopular opinion seven Deadly sins:Four knights of the apocalypse ? Or a thing most people in the fanbase agree on but you don't?
That tristan group is boring. Not the characters tho! It feels like isolde, chion and jade only revolve around tristan. In my opinion. They need to also see their own goals and desirs it feels like they are only there for tristan.
Unlike percival group(and lancelot yes he is a part of the group ofc!)it is not the same percy group helps eachother and believe in one in other! To put in to place percy group has a different dynamic compare to tristans group. And what you think about Chion,Jade Isolde? Tell your honest opinion.
Yeah, the Tristan Platoon is kinda cult-y :p
Uh, I really like Jade. It sucks that the only tolerable member of that team died.
Chion is just the absolute worst. Sympathy for the Vivian related trauma, but he still sucks.
Isolde is...ok, I guess? I kinda forgot she existed, honestly xD
I have a couple of opinions that go against the grain in the fandom, but my most unpopular one revolves around Guinevere. You maybe have noticed that you can't send me asks ananomously. That's cuz I got harassed for, like, 2 weeks straight for saying she acts like a normal 12 year old and doesn't deserve to be hated so viciously. Someone kept making new accounts to keep harassing me after I blocked them, they started leaving petty comments on unrelated posts, they called me really awful things. It was terrible.
Honestly, I'm kinda anxious answering this cuz I don't want it to pick back up again...
Oh, another (less anxiety inducing) thing is that I hate the Tristan/Lancelot ship :p

25 for the most recent ask game you rb, i want to hear it
25: common fandom complaint that you're sick of hearing
i feel like im gonna lose followers for this but whatevs
so like- i think most overarching fandom complaints i dont like- disagree with? mostly cuz its usually shiz like "you should have a woman blorbo" and other obvious stuff so im gonna bitch abt my hot takes for my main fandoms
FNAF: i'll be so fucking real, i hate any complaints ppl have about "that isnt lore accurate" THE FUCKING LORE ISNT LORE ACCURATE YOU CUNT, THIS GAME IS A MESS, SCOTT IS A BAD WRITER, IM TIRED. also any time ppl bitch abt certain headcanons, like im not even immune but like if i see one more person complain abt william being a good dad im splitting ppl's heads. oh also just- bitching abt theories, i hate that entire section of the fandom.... okay i hate fandoms but- like hear me out
EverymanHYBRID: i.... like..... get actually fucking violent seeing ppl get mad at others for being like "ough HABIT <3333" and like- maybe its me being a delusional kinnie of him buttttttttt shut up, i dont wanna hear abt how he's a bad person, let me enjoy my limited time on earth thirsting over an evil rabbit man okay? fuckin hell-
Marble Hornets: ill be so real w/ you chief, the fandom's right, tim shouldnt be drawn as skinny, it is weird and fucked up, but also like i got sick of hearing ppl bitch abt it like before i even joined the fandom like we get it, its weird and fucked up to do, this weird white knight crusading isnt gonna change the minds of ppl who havent already changed. theres probably also something ppl like to bitch abt when it comes to alex kralie (who i will defend with my life, i am an alex kralie apologist) but like- idk ive avoided mh fans (besides my bestie and gf <3) for like months now so- meh
i would add something animal jam related as a joke but realistically i didnt know what was going on in that community even when i was active in it lmao

Im not sure how i want to interact with fandom spaces anymore... like all the recent media Ive taken a shining too are all full of peeps my age that are almost always dni-having, antis. Like no shade on their ships it isnt about ships. i dont really ship, i just like how fun ships are art and dynamic-wise and some of those ships can be problamatic and thats all fine with me! But all the ships, headcanonns, familial relations (found or not) here are soooo BORING in all ships across all fando[1/2]
--
ms(cuz guess what when you dont change anything from the uwu cutsy plot line) i like those plot lines just- dont they get bored??? the same jokes and headcanoons and ships in like a week i dont what to be near all 3 fandoms. so like my question is what next? cuz maybe its a problem with me i DO get bored of media quick but never THIS quick like from 2-3 years in my first fandom to 1 WEEK in my new one and thats because i watched the show twice![2/2]
There are always more fandoms out there!

this might seem like a random ask, but i need a tiny wee bit of advice. i dont normally write reader x character things, because of several reasons, but the biggest one is that like. the personality i write isnt gonna be relatable to a large number of ppl. and it always bugs me. so solution? oc x character. cuz that way i can establish a personality AND everyone know these r two characters and not an insert type of situation. but i also know reader x character r very fun for the ppl in the fandom cuz u feel included n shit. and im just dfxgfgsdfgh abt it.
anyways i just wanna write rhett getting his sexual awakening by amab reader/oc. like maybe i just wanna see rhett getting all flustered by a man. im a very simple person. anyways what do u think???
i feel like if it’s a m/m story, you should do an oc. the majority of the fandom seems to be afab (i know there are a few guys or male identifying persons around here but 🤷‍♀️) so a male oc would probably be better since most people wouldn’t be able to relate to male reader. and ofc it’s also easier if it’s an oc because then you can describe his personality and physical attributes however you like without worrying about excluding anyone. aside from that i would happily read something like this, i love the idea of rhett getting flustered by a man 🥹

8, 11, 12 for spaceboys
8. common fandom opinion that everyone is wrong about
every bro who thinks this show is a perfect analogue to their rl politics…or likewise that the show is mocking said bros bc theyre incapable of confronting the fact that fascists will use anything to justify their ideology & that there is an air of revanchism/reactionary sentiment in the text that the author presumes the audience/reader will think of as morally dubious (if not evil downright. think of the ‘i want to be a good friend, but not a master or servant’ speech. which i rly do think is the central idea of the text. but maybe thats me projecting too? we are all a bit of a hypocrite). i just feel like for some ppl this is their first anime that isnt battle shounen that theyre like OMG its #2DEEP4U like omggg. looking at tanaka’s other works or even at yang wenli’s character who serves as an authorial proxy + his own in universe character arc which i <3 in mind tanaka seems to be more interested in how mythology + historiography is constructed than he is rly the minutiae of political reforms and the precision of things (if the 50 billion people that seem to die in every space battle didnt clue u in alr). idk. maybe im stupid. but also ppl who take ‘hey, maybe annerose had any sort of feelings about her brother & having to take on being the retroactive justification for his conquest’ (like they even call her the mother of space or something to that affect?? thats a heavy burden for one woman to hold. she didnt even ask for this. reinhard didnt even do anything to frederich like he died .. no one had to free annerose) to be ‘ur calling annerose a bitch?’. it doesnt help that theres not enough textually of annerose, but the fact that a lot of her screentime / page time is ominously prescient warnings on the nature of power v. reinhard’s disposition is something??? sieg if my brother stops listening to you then my brother is lost.. is that not a sign of some complex feelings about her brother or at the very least, the man her brother has / could / and did become? also queer readings that try to divorce the militaristic elements when so much of the subtext is wrapped around nascent homoeroticism typical in military /‘ male ‘ dominant fields. thinking about kircheis being the most physically imposing but the most gentle, and while he is reinhard’s dead wife his bond with reinhard is also wrapped in a shared militaristic ambition of ‘taking space’. half of what i have is urs! paralleled to reuenthal & mittermeyer - mittermeyer being the only dude who could beat up reuenthal, them being reinhard’s shuangbi /twin stars/pillars bc of their skills in combat... could i have been married too, like mittermeyer? hell naw hilde + oberstein being outsiders in the empire bc they do not commandeer fleets. yang being ‘useless below the neck’ is a joke but its something.
11. number of fandom-related words you've filtered
actually dont filter much cuz spaceboys fandom on here is dead but i refuse to go on certain platforms LOL
12. the unpopular character that you actually like and why more people should like them
once again its dead on here idkkk. whats unpop v pop. despite being an OG in this spaceboy shit.. ik the way i liked reuenthal was unpop until nat & wiaw omg Reuenthal’s rebellion as a final act of loyalty + M.A.(S).D. thesis but fr evil seme reuenthal & boring self insert yang all 2018 by ppl who didnt even touch the OVA hurt my soul…what was they doing to my queens💔💔💔 there is no why u should like reuenthal thesis he should be killed with rocks but the ova did something incidentally (or purposefully?) thats haunted me for centuries. everybody likes reinhard and reuenthal in the wrong ways. anne rice interrogating the text fron the wrong pov voice

Could I ask all 25 for the chose violence ask game? I would love to hear what you have to say.
Took me ten minutes to find that reblog again. Hope youre even still around to read this, anon
the character everyone gets wrong Maybe not Everyone but like.. 95% of the fans and "fans"... would be Gojo, hands down. None of you write him correctly. I know cuz i talked to Gege and he attacked me with a shovel.
a compelling argument for why your fave would never top or bottom I dont have or need one cuz Vash is a switch.
screenshot or description of the worst take you’ve seen on tumblr Basically every post that calls Gojo egoistic or describes him as an asshole who makes fun of people for the sake of it.
what was the last straw that made you finally block that annoying person? I dunno anymore. I think someone was disgustingly Pro Hero Society or something in the bnha fandom like... years ago.
worst discord server and why How am i supposed to know every discord server?
which ship fans are the most annoying? Cruise ship fans, ba dum tss.
what character did you begin to hate not because of canon but because how how the fandom acts about them? Every popular character on tumblr i think? Luckily they are never in my fandoms so its easy to avoid them.
common fandom opinion that everyone is wrong about Already answered that in 1.
worst part of canon Trigun is inherently perfect And in jjk... i think Naoya himself is the worst part.
worst part of fanon Someone once wrote Gojo wrong and everyone since then everyone has done the same
number of fandom-related words you’ve filtered I think i have like... 3 fandoms blacklisted and thats it
the unpopular character that you actually like and why more people should like them The ACTUAL Gojo, how he actually is in canon and everyone should like him because he isnt a piece of flaming garbage like fanon Gojo.
worst blorboficiation I legit dont know
that one thing you see in fics all the time Vash sleeping with his prosthetic arm on??? Hello???? Do you people sleep with glasses on and in jeans and are also set on fire cuz thats how uncomfortable that would be.
that one thing you see in fanart all the time All fanart i see is perfect and gorgeous and has no flaws
you can’t understand why so many people like this thing (characterization, trope, headcanon, etc) I dont know why everyone is horny for fanon Gojo when thats just Crappo, their shitty OC.
there should be more of this type of fic/art There can never be enough autistic!Vash
it’s absolutely criminal that the fandom has been sleeping on… Mechanic!Vash. Give that man a regular job like he deserves to have. Nothing sexier than a man working with heavy machinery.
you’re mad/ashamed/horrified you actually kind of like… If i like something it means its good, even if its just good to Me, and therefore I am not ashamed or horrified.
part of canon you found tedious or boring Nothing that comes to mind
part of canon you think is overhyped Again, nothing really.
your favorite part of canon that everyone else ignores All the amazing jokes Gojo makes. That man is a comedy genius and people should write him accordingly. Also i would have said "The tummy hurty scene" in Trigun 98 but people lately have been paying attention to that so nvm.
ship you’ve unwillingly come around to None
topic that brings up the most rancid discourse "But Wolfwood is actually still a child because I ignore canon and refuse to actually interact with canon cuz trying to start a fight in the most peaceful fandom ever is somehow my hobby. I am totally normal."
common fandom complaint that you’re sick of hearing None Well, no violence here.

I... am a fic writer 😩🫣 I don't think my stories are all that cool unfortunately... Most of the attention/notes have gone towards nsfw content rather than the sfw I used to labor over 💔 such is the woes of writeblr 😔
Thank you for thinking I'm studious 😂 I'm studying IT 🤓 I'm pretty sure I'll be graduating right before the gift giving starts off for this event hehe.. I cannot wait to be done for now 😭 homework and lectures are sooo boring at this point but the 24/7 working life... Ew! What about you (if you don't mind me asking hehe) 😳
xhxydhddhd at least if the gps breaks well be lost together shsbsshd
sometimes it feels like its a lil hard to find books with woc protags that arent realistic fiction and i hate that 😭 cuz alot of time the "realistic" setting they pick is one i cant relate to cuz i didnt grow up in the city or i wasnt the only black family in a whyte suburbs u know? so it takes like triple the digging to find something to connect to and it feel fun and not like racism porn 😭
anyway! angst is so good like its so satisfying and isnt there just something so so so like brain itching good about a homie being like please play pretend with me and then going oh shit wait its not pretend anymore actually?

Send me a character: hoshie tenma (cuz I wanna know many bc simps there are, no shame!)
hoshie tenma
first impression
i first saw her in the OG once upon a time and my impression was she was a Mom
impression now
shes kind and stubborn, she is a likable character and hope one day she gets the characterization she deserves.
favorite moment
when she slapped tenma with those divorce papers, like she had those READY
idea for a story
she doesnt die And Actually Shows up, jokes aside theres one fun AU cookie and I talked about that im gonna end up drawing smth for one day, that involves hoshie. im not saying what it is but it is based off a certain movie with WASTED potential.
unpopular opinion
is there really any way to have an unpopular opinion about a character who is hardly there. Even my negative opinions on her ATB depiction cant be described as unpopular cuz the fandom is so small. Maybe my unpopular opinion is that she really is just Mom character. protective of her son and would do anything for him. we never see her interests/passions. Or things she does that doesnt revolve around her son. Im not counting ATB bc atb hoshie doesnt have personality outside of having a crush on tenma. Her moments of stubborness we see are only in relation to her feelings for tenma. like idk man Hoshie has yet to have her time to shine. Like let hoshie be herself for once. like in atb we're told she likes robotics and yet. We see NONE of that.
disclaimer: her being Mom character isnt bad but shes literally just. Mom.
favorite relationship
again. she was Mom character, so to me her strongest relationship was with atom, and how she came to love him as her own son, and would watch him whenever she could, even to her dying day. she knew he wasnt tobio and she didnt want him to be tobio, she accepted him as atom.
favorite headcanon
that hoshie faked her death so tenma would quit calling her every night crying to take him back

Comparing RWBY and YGO DM: The Handling and Evolution of Themes
Hey! Its been a hot minute since I last posted anything RWBY-related but Im laying in my bed right now and Im sick and bored so I guess we're doing this. Today I will do my best to analyze what I percieve to be the main themes and messages of both of these shows, or more specifically, how theyre handled narratively. Im mostly focusing on that part because, while these series do have similar themes and messaging, they are still a few things in which they are wildly different. And with that, lets start with this essay-post-thing!
1. Theres something we need to adress first
Okay so, before we can really talk about this, theres something I feel the need to clarify here: Neither of these stories was "planned from the beginning".
Now, I dont think a story being planned from the beginning or not nesscessarily makes the story any better or worse by default, however, it is still important to acknowledge because the way the story is planned is going to affect every facet of it. Things are not going to be foreshadowed properly, things are gonna be set up only for nothing to come of it, the story might drastically change directions, characters might act differently, etc, etc.
And, this is bit off-topic but, it's much better to just admit that the story was not planned than trying to pretend that it was. Like, there are a lot of reasons why I tend to be so forgiving towards YGO even though its not very good, but one of them is definitely the fact that, as far as Im aware atleast, the guy who wrote it isnt pretending to have had this big master plan all along and neither is the fandom. With RWBY on the other hand... yeaaaah, its kinda the opposite. From what Ive seen of RWBYs fandom, there seems to be this pretty popular narrative that everything was planned even though it clearly wasnt. Thats pretty bad and honestly lowers my opinion of the writers so much more than if they would just admit to not having a proper plan.
Like, I initially consumed YGO like this: Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Monsters, Yu-Gi-Oh (aka Season 0), like, a quarter of the Yu-Gi-Oh manga (I still havent finished it)
In all three of these we have the character of Yami Yuugi, or just Yami. Broadly speaking, he is an ancient egyptian gamer spirit who lives in a magical puzzle that has not been solved for 3000 years until this highschooler named Yuugi Mutou comes along and solves it, thus setting him free and allowing him to possess Yuugi and have access to the vague magical powers of the puzzle.
In Duel Monsters he's perfectly fine most of time, morally speaking. There is an instance of him almost murdering a guy and its a bit unclear what exactly happens to those he mindcrushes but overall he's very much a pretty good guy. In Season 0 most of what he does is set up these games for bad people, where they will go insane no matter what they do. From how I understand this whole Shadow Game, Penalty Game stuff, if you lose a Shadow Game, you get violent and intense hallucinations and you will always cuz yknow, gamer spirit. But if you try to cheat, which most of the bad people do in this show, you get violent and intense hallucinations as a punishment.
Since the two anime are generally considered two different continuities, its perfectly fine that Yamis characterization is wildly different in both of them. But in the manga both of these characterizations appear, basically one after the other with no real arc or consequences, for that matter. Why is that? Simply put, someone thought it was a good idea to try to turn an episodic, very slice of life-y light-horror manga into a more traditional, more plot-driven battle shounen. From what Ive heard, it was apparently largely because of network interference or something, but the point is, it changed directions incredibly drastically with little planning and everyone knows this and I can understand that for the most part.
In RWBY we have the character of Blake Belladonna, who, in the first 3 volumes/seasons atleast, was this aloof, more toned down loner-type character with a pretty strong sense of justice. She's an in-universe marginilized racial minority and she clearly cares about racial injustice. The way its initially framed makes it seem like she had a very hard life and no stable support system, which is what eventually pushed her to join a Civil Rights group/Terrorist organization (good god, the Faunus subplot is so awful, I could write a whole essay about it but Im already de-railing rn so I'll just save that for later).
Then, in volumes 4-5 it turns out her father is actually like, the mayor or chief of this island-place called Menagerie and she grew up in this big mansion with multiple guards/servants. Oh and also, apparently "space is a commodity" on there, so theres that. She still retains large parts of her personality but she's kinda like, worse somehow I think. I cant really describe it in a meaningful way but I hope you get what Im saying anyway. Then in Volume 6 she confronted her emotional abuser Adam (sorry for not mentioning him sooner but yeah, he was like, her abusive boyfriend, which is something that a lot of people disagree with but I wont really say anything about it either way because I dont really feel any specific way) with her friend, Yang, and ended up killing him.
After all that, she pretty much lost the rest of her personality, as well as her arc about all the Faunus stuff. She just kinda became the meek, generically nice, recovering abuse victim. Why? Well, the actual reason is that they didnt plan out shit and are just kinda flying by the seat of their oversized clown-pants and if they and the fandom just admitted it, I would have less of an issue. I still wouldnt be as forgiving towards RWBY as I am towards YGO because the crux of the issue, for me, is just that I dont particulary like RWBY but also like. Do you really expect me to take MKEK seriously as writers after admitting to not have a timeline because iT wOuLd CaUsE pLoThOlEs?
However, since they want us to believe that everything was planned out from the beginning, the explaination would be.... Idk, they deliberately butchered one of their main characters?? Because.. they hate her?? Maybe????
So yeah, that was quite a detour however, I would like you to keep this mind going forward.
2. Themes of the Early Series'
First, what do mean by 'Early Series' for both of these shows respectively? Well, for YGO that would have to be Season 0 or if youre reading the manga, everything pre-Duelist Kingdom. Basically, the part of the series thats a episodic, very slice of life-y light-horror series.
For RWBY that would be the first three Volumes, also known as the Poser-Era. Back then it was just kinda an action series that took place at Anime Warrior Academy (also known as Beacon) with some pretty bare minimum worldbuilding, character-driven plots and developments but now its more of an epic high-fantasy story with more of an emphasis on plot as opposed to just action.
The themes and messages in Early YGO are kinda vague, very confusing to me and if you were to follow any of it literally that would be pretty bad. For now Im just gonna say the main themes are Friendship and Identity and mostly focus on the Identity aspect.
Now, it took me a little while to figure out RWBYs deal but I think the main themes for Volumes 1-3 are also Friendship and Heroism. Once again, I'll mostly focus on Heroism and touch on Friendship more briefly later.
I dont have much more to add to YGOs themes right now, so I'll briefly go over Heroism in RWBY.
In RWBYs setting there are these man-eating monsters called Grimm that have basically infected the planet. In order to deal with that, they have people called huntsmen and huntresses that kill them and protect people. Theyre trained at special academies like Beacon and go on missions there and stuff like that. Our four main characters, Ruby, Weiss, Blake and Yang, are training to become huntresses and one day they go on this mission to clean up a grimm infested city block with one of their teachers. Obviously, that takes a long time so they have to camp out in one of the empty houses. Weiss, Blake and Yang cant sleep because theyve been thinking about this question that their teacher asked them when they were fighting grimm: "Why do you want to become a huntress?"
They have a heart to heart and we find out about their motivations; Weiss wants to bring honour back to her family, Blake want to distance herself from the White Fang (that terrorist organization I mentioned earlier) and as an extension from Adam, Yang wants to have a life of adventure. They also talk about why Ruby wants to be a huntress and it turns out that she judt wants to help people. Unlike the others, she has no motivation besides that. We're meant to listen to that and look at her as a sort-of personification of Heroism: kind, but not naive, strong and most of all, selfless. The others on her team are not portayed as bad for not being like Ruby by any means but we are clearly meant to admire her the most out of all of them.
Okay, now comes the part Ive been looking forward to the most:
3. How did these themes evolve in the Modern Series'?
Alright, before we can really delve into the way they evolved in YGO I'll have to give you a brief summary of the character progression. At the start of DM, during the Duelist Kingdom arc, Yami Yuugi is just that; A darker Yuugi. Hes more confident, bolder, his voice is deeper, hes somehow taller, more ruthless, all that good stuff. Notably, he doesnt actually seem more skilled than Yuugi even at the start of this story, but he's still dependent on Yami. Yami on the other hand, has no identity of his own or even hints at one at this point. He's just The Other Yuugi.
Then during the Battle City arc, they find out that Yami was actually a pharao prior to being sealed in the puzzle, he just didnt know because of amnesia, I guess. So now they need to find out his real name and then send him to the afterlife because hes meant to be dead, but not before saving the world from being swallowed by darkness, which is also a thing they have to do now.
Then we finally get to the Memory World arc, where Yami, Yuugi and the rest of the gang astralproject to ancient egypt via puzzle magic. Yami is trying to figure out what the hell is going on and who all these familiar people are, while Yuugi & Co are trying their best to help him. Then some weird shit happens and it turns out that all of that is not just Yamis sealed away memories, but also a giant D&D Shadow Game that will destroy the world if Yami loses. So now theres Pharao!Yami who is still clueless on the metaphorical and literal playing field and Player!Yami, who is kinda controlling himself now? I guess?? Yamis opponent, The Spirit of The Ring, has something similar to that going on where hes both controlling and properly participating in the game. So Player!Yami is now fighting against Player!TSoTR, Pharao!Yami is now fighting against Thief King Bakura (who is like, the human, ancient egyptian version of the Ring Spirit) and Yuugi is now fighting against Yami Bakura (who is like, the human, modern japanese version of the Ring Spirit). Yuugi gets Yamis real name, he and the gang go over to Pharao!Yami and tell him his name, meanwhile Player!Yami is also somehow helping as well and they defeat the Ring Spirit, thus saving the world. Then they travel to modern Egypt, the Ceremonial Duel happens and Yuugi wins, sending Yami to the Afterlife where he can finally rest and that was the series!
I originally wanted to recount the stuff that was going on with the Ring Spirit and his host as well because they parallel eachother, but this summary is already far too long and I think youll get the point without me needing to explain any more.
My point here is, that the story went from being vaguely about Identity, maybe? to being very clearly about Self-Discovery and Learning to Be Independent. I think this is a very good way to evolve the messaging of your story. How does RWBY track on that?
Well, uh... its not great. I will acknowledge that they have tried to introduce new themes and ideas since, even though I wont really be talking about them in this post. But yeah, the whole Heroism thing really regressed.
Like, I didnt explicitly say it when I was explaining grimm earlier, but theyre not going away. The grimm have always been there and people who sign up to become huntsmen and huntresses are effectively signing up for a job that will never truly be done, no matter what they do. Characters like Ruby and even more minor ones like Phyrrah have shown us that that doesnt matter when youre a hero. No life isnt worth saving, no grimm isnt worth killing, no criminal isnt worth arresting. Then, in volume 6 they find out about Salem. Salem is the Big Bad of the show, shes immortal, controls the grimm and is supposed to be very powerful.
What do our heroes do? They give up. Sike! They were just mindcontrolled by monsters or some shit, of course they didnt give up their mission (which is to bring an Important Macguffin to a city called Atlas, sorry I didnt mention it)!
But then they arrive in Atlas (which is llike, a city thats floating over another city called Mantle) and yknow, they do some plot stuff thats not really important right now until the city gets invaded by Salem and this big grimm army she has.
What do our heroes do? Well, Ruby, Weiss, Blake and some side characters are chilling, drinking tea in a mansion and Yang and the B Team were actually trying to do something, but even those efforts seem incredibly minimal.
Oh wait, I also forgot to mention that Ironwood (a fairly minor, vaguely antagonistic character up until now) wanted to lift Atlas even higher to save Atleasian civilians from danger while leaving Mantle vulnerable to Salems invasion.
What would be the most heroic thing to do?
A) Let Ironwood lift Atlas, get as much support as they can down to Mantle and save as many Mantle civilians as they can from the invasion
B) Prevent Ironwood from lifting Atlas but then split up in order to protect both Atlas and Mantle civilians
C) Prevent Ironwood from lifting Atlas and then dont do anything else
Congrats! If you choose C, you think exactly like the writers!
And I just
This is so mindboggling to me, I feel like I shouldnt even have explain how this is bad. And like, it wouldve been so easy to actually make them seem herokc through their actions, to make it seem like they did try but no.
I have never seen a central theme be this botched, how in the world did they do that? Why did they think it was a good idea for Ruby "The Embodiment of Heroism" Rose to sit in a mansion doing nothing, no planning, no organizing just ..... God, how are they this bad? Like, this doesnt even have anything to do with it being planned in any way, this is just straight up incompetence
4. Very briefly touching on friendship
The friendship is awful and its not solely because they all have the same opinions. They barely interact with eachother outside their designated pairs which leads to it all feeling incredibly hollow. Theyre also practically indistingushable from one another now, which is a shame because it wasnt always like that. Like, I dont think the characters were that well-developed in earlier volumes but they were very well-characterized. But now we've gotten to a point where you can literally copy and paste one characters dialogue onto another and literally nothing changes, it really sucks.
5. Some closing words
Damn, this took way longer than I thought it would and now Im pretty exhausted. I have no idea how yall always write these but props to you! I feel like this ended up a bit rambly but overall, Im pretty proud.
Please let me know what you think of the points I brought up! Id also really appreciate some tips on how to get better at these longer posts because I am planning on writing more in the future (not the near future, probably but yknow).
Thats all I have to say for now, thanks for reading!

L O X T (DEH, neurodivergency/diagnoses? and/or any other headcanons you wanna talk about)?
L - Say something genuinely nice about a character who isn’t one of your faves (chars you’re neutral on are fair game, as are chars you dislike)
hm... ig.. neutral on like the murphy parents maybe with cynthia like ;; idk man just.. trying but its never right/enough ,, i feel bad when ppl do her wrong in fics bc like she does care its just sort of not the best n shes blinded by it in regards sorry im head empty [pensive]
O - Choose a song at random, which ship or character does it remind you of
shuffle on my 2021 playlist gave me burn him down! and hmmm cuz like i do have playlists for chars n ships n naturally this isnt on them hmmm i cant fully explain why but im thinking of evan id have to collect more thoughts on why but it makes sense in my head
X - top 5-10 characters
ev, jare, and zoe for sure ;_; also rich and christine from bmc to round to five
T - Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending
yesyesyes ill limit it to ev n jare rn
evan naturally has adhd and autism <3 also ev with ocd. a lot of like [instrusive thoughts] and maybe im projecting but him with compulsions related to contamination. him finally being able to let himself more visibly stim in “weird” ways bc i think he already stims but him feeling better about himself and [flappy hands] gets to me ;_; also.. total insomniac like its really bad
jared has adhd <3 also autism <3 sensory issues but refuses to admit it and hides how it affects him more than evan does. also he has tics n im not taking criticism the type varies but definitely tics.

lil psa about my art
alright so probably like not a lot of people care about this, but i actually have been doing a good amount of art, i just havent been posting a lot of it.... i think that this might be related to how ive been doing mentally, things just havent been great up in the ol conker, but uhhhhh anyways. imma try n take some pics! ive been holding myself to a weird standard thing when ive been posting stuff on tumblr, like the amount of notes shit gets really affects me mentally. but i realised that i shouldnt be basing what im doing on what tumblr likes. so im gonna post some sketches n shit. 
another thing ive been thinking about is that people really show off their best work, the shit that they are most proud of, and while this is really cool, and while i love seeing the finished products, this leaves out all of the process behind art, which is really the most important part. the shitty sketches that arent really finished are equally as important as the final products, because both are part of the learning process. They are a vital part pf how you’ve grown as an artist. the ones you hate are maybe even more important, because you grow from them. 
so yeah. :) ive been having some good realizations like these lately. and im going to try and make my art without tying it to peoples response to it. theres gonna be shit flying everywhere now :))))) 
lastly, this isnt reallyt that important, but imma update my bio n shit cuz although a lot of my art has been for hxh, ive moved on a little from the fandom sadly. im sorry to not be drawing them anymore, but im looking forward to expressing myself and hopefully spreading my work, whatever fandom is in. kinda goes without saying, but the best art ill produce is with stuff im the most enthralled with.

why do sasunaru shippers hate sasusaku more than naruhina/sakura more than hinata? || aka a sasunaru shipper explaining why sasusaku is better than naruhina in every conceivable way
yeah yeah this isn’t my lane as a sasunaru shipper to comment on ss because it’s not my ship but it IS my lane to comment on sasuke and sakura, 2 of my favourite naruto characters.
this is my first post about naruto or any series in quite awhile, so excuse any possible errors on my part, but i’ve been thinking and i’d like to write out my thoughts on a particular subject. i’m back with a controversial opinion, of course because those are the only ones i’ll ever have
if you ship sasunaru and u viciously hate sakura i suggest going into this post with an open mind because... you aren’t gonna like a lot of what is said here but i suggest reading anyways :-)
during my time in naruto fandom i’ve noticed a trend among sasunaru shippers(and anti ending people in general), sakura is the butt of all of the jokes and especially after the manga ending and gaiden being released people have loved to make jokes about SS’s marriage but hinata never gets the same negative treatment and my thoughts are only
why?
act i: underratus sasusakus
i’m going to get straight to the point and say my opinion. sakura and sasusaku especially are given extremely unfair treatment and exaggerated belittlement among the sasunaru fandom. allow me to explain why
if you love this bitch right here
Tumblr media
you should have done enough character analysis to realize these few things about him
1: he was completely deprived of love and any connections from like age 7 up until he met naruto, sakura and kakashi
2: he felt like he had to push everyone he cares about away because he saw it as weak
and 3: underneath all of his trauma he’s kind hearted
so knowing all of these obvious things, why would you say that in moments like these
Tumblr media Tumblr media
he is actually trying to shake off someone he doesn’t like at all and only sees as a girl with an annoying crush?
or alternatively, why would you say he’s abusive and she deserves better but then go and ship him with your favourite character? it’s so transparent and it’s obviously just a filler excuse so you don’t have to actually look into the character dynamics and how they work because you don’t want to admit that your least favourite ship actually isnt awful.
Sasuke isn’t the type of person that would have such disregard and apathy towards a person that’s shown him nothing but love throughout the entire series. that goes against his entire character’s philosophy and most of the arguments seem to be pulled out of thin air also
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
He obviously cares about sakura plain and simple, no mental gymnastic argument in the world can disregard plain canon evidence. if youre so set on the idea that sasuke doesn’t give a shit about sakura, then i’m gonna raise the question: why would you have a character who doesn’t care about one of his teammates that supported him as ur fave? which leads me to my next point
there’s obviously gonna be theeese kind of people:
“of course my precious baby sasuke loves his team, but sakura has a selfish love and she will never deserve him!!!!”
there are SO many anti sakura arguments from sasunaru shippers that are just plain wrong so i’m gonna use this opportunity to crush them all
“sakura only liked sasuke cause he was hot and popular”
after sakura was surprised that the kid guessed she liked sasuke, she was informed he was popular with the girls
Tumblr media
so that one panel gets rid of that argument
“sakura doesn’t really love sasuke, she was going to kill him...”
...because she thought it was her ONLY OPTION to save him from himself, she thought he was too far gone and it wasn’t until naruto showed up that she had hope again (which is why sasunaru shippers being as threatened by ss as they are is so dumb and crazy)
personally i don’t like this aspect of ss and heavily prefer the sasunaru dynamic with the whole eternal never giving up on you thing because it scratches my particular shipping itch but it’s foolish to say that sakura doesn’t love sasuke period, she obviously does and she does deeply and she’s one of the closest people to him and always will be
Sasusaku gets tons of unfair hate just because of the long running anti Sakura meme, and it’s always been the scapegoat of the anti naruto ending crowd. But it’s silly to me because it makes sense that if sasuke doesn’t end with naruto, he would end with sakura
aside from naruto, his closest living person is sakura plain and simple. she’s done nothing but love him, maybe not as absolutely and unconditionally as naruto has, and maybe she did falter but it’s more than anyone else in the entire series(besides naruto) has and it’s more than he’s ever got from anyone else (besides naruto lol) so if sasunaru doesn’t happen why on earth would you be upset that the boy who was so deprived of love for his entire life ended up with this girl?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
if not naruto, sakura is the best person for sasuke plain and simple because literally who else in the series (besides naruto) put up with all of his baggage for the entirety of the series, + she raised his child when he was MIA and sarada actually grew up to be a diligent and intelligent ninja. i ain’t even mad when people ship SS
sasuke has recognized all of this, too.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
and has thanked sakura for all of the love she’s ever provided for him throughout the years, even when he was not himself and hurting her, she always just wanted him to be okay, and he appreciates it. so of course he married sakura, duh.
you cant even be threatened by their eye smex
Tumblr media
because sasuke gives naruto bedroom eyes all day long
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
he gives a shit about sakura okay?!?! sakura gives a shit about him okay?!?! it’s okay to acknowledge that his canon marriage isn’t the devil while still realizing the objective superiority of your otp!!!!!
all of this can be summarized into, for some reason sasusaku threatens the sasunaru fandom and leads them into having bullshit mental gymnastic arguments against it for no real reason when....
the real monster of the series is naruhina.
act ii: naruheinous disgustus
NARUHINA IS THE WORST SHIP TO EVER COME OUT OF ANY SHOUNEN MANGA, OR ANY MANGA EVER EXCEPT MAYBE SOMETHING LIKE VAMPIRE KNIGHT. I said it.
sorry about coming off a little strong there, but i have a lot to say about this matter, and you know i’m for real when i have a lot to say about something that has so very little.
it seems to me like most sasunaru shippers don’t actually care about naruhina and just give it a free pass cuz it’s boring and she’s nice and cute and whatever
but naruhina is so much worse than sasusaku on every imaginable level
so, so much worse
because where sasusaku at least has friendship
naruhina has nothing
at least where sasusaku has care and chemistry
naruhina has a bland empty space
because hinata is a bland and empty character
[due to plot holes and retcon in the last and other filler, i will only be using kishimoto’s material for this post. but hey, since naruhina is canon only the author written material has to be enough, right? right....? please guys he ships our ship he made it canon i swear he planned everything to end with their epic moon(who sasuke) love story]
we get shown this when naruto gets introduced to hinata and his only impression of her is that she’s a weirdo
Tumblr media
We get this when Naruto never ever noticed Hinata, while Sasuke was actively trying to cheer Sakura up
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
naruhina in part 1 has absolutely NO basis at all. it’s absolutely nonexistent from naruto’s side.
unfortunately... it remains that way.
Tumblr media
this moment. this fucking moment is when it all started to go downhill. i mean, naruhina was always at the bottom but this is when it becomes apparent that the ship is never going to pick itself back up.
i’m not going to be one of the people who say that after naruto completely ignored her confession that she should just never think about him again and find a new guy, that’s unreasonable.
however,
naruto completely ignored her confession! in fact, i don’t even think he ignored it. i think it just never occured to him that he should even talk to her which is even sadder imo... sasuke, who is apparently the devil to sasuke, at least y’know... thanked her.
after this happened we never saw hinata’s reaction to this, her feelings on why naruto never replied to her, we never even see her doing anything outside of thinking about naruto/talking to naruto period unless it’s a fight in a flashback
it’s almost like hinata is an NPC in the naruverse programmed to react to anything naruto related and nothing else. you can definitely not say this about sakura, she has a defined personality. Hinata doesn’t.
don’t even understand how this
Tumblr media
[sending her son to fight alone against an enemy of unknown strength and only telling him to... take care of naruto-kun]
could ever be favoured over this
Tumblr media
sakura > hinata
sasusaku > naruhina
sasunaru shippers = dumb for hating on sasusaku and giving naruhina a free pass

The Blocklist: A essay (this is very long)
I know everyones sick of it at this point but I got shit to say so feel free to not read this absolute unit of a poorly written essay. The jjbablocklist divided their list into two different list now. One for creators and one for consumers/rebloggers and I cannot stress enough about how dumb that is since it shouldve been done since the beggining. Also, following alot of these artist and “consumers” of these medias, I noticed some of them are falsely accused, others while being minors. here’s why:
1. A lot of teens and young adults in the community like ships like GioMis, FuMis, NaraGio, MisTrish and plenty more and I know your singular shared braincell cannot handle the idea of 2-3 year age gaps not being pedophilia, but uh, newsflash for ya, THEY AINT. Legally, it is not a crime and that in america where the age of consent is 18, not in Italy where its 15 and not in Japan where its even less. Under the general United States Law, which is where I assume the list makers/defenders are mostly from, these ships are not classified as pedophilia or should be problematic and the ages of consent change to lower ages depending on state. The only way you can add these shippers for their “crimes” is if they promoted or created the interactions of these characters in a sexual or intimate manner whether they are aged up or not, which is still wack if their age is above that of the age of consent in writing/art and the fact that minors, in this case teenagers with the VA cast, are allowed to express themselves with people of their own age group in a sexual manner, real life kids do it all the time amongst themselves so why shouldnt people be able to create it, the whole ordeal is ridiculous imo BUT I can see how it makes a lot of people uncomfortable, a lot of it makes me uncomfortable too so we gotta make compromises somehow so absolutely no lewding the mafia lolis/ jojo lolis in general and if you do, tag it properly so it doesnt spread onto the basic hastags of characters and the show. If you dont you on the list.
2. Claim genderswapping/r63 is transphobic all you want but until I see clear and definitive proof of it being purposely made for that purpose then it’s absolutely ok. If someone makes it to offend someone then its wrong and they should be called out for it (which has never been the case in this fanbase as far as I cant tell) It’s creative, it allows people create new desings for characters or adjust current ones for cosplayers or other artist. Im sure one of your mods can relate, since the do the exact same thing as we do while not addressing a certaint character properly by their canon pronouns. Genderbending does not promote the attack or harrasement of the trans community and that is a fact unless its done by actual problematic artist like Sh*dbase and others, which is still a stretch because I dont think they’ve done it to target people or make fun of them but they are the popular problem icons. So get the actual transphobes on the list, aka those who created the content specifically to harras a specific person, or remove the catergory entirely. Its unnecessary and hypocritical.
— The rest of these are just things that bother a lot of people in the community so if you only cared about minors being on the list then you dont have to continue reading. —
Tumblr is infamously known to be a shitshow of a site where all you can find is problematic content. If you dont like this kind of content, why the hell are you here in the first place? There’s a lot of safer websites to use where like instagram, twitter, amino, facebook, and more. They have actual filters unlike tumblr and finding content you dont like is a lot harder unless you are purposefully looking for it, and even then it could be a challenge due to shadow bans or privatized accounts. Tumblr has none of that, everyone knows it, all of those who dont like it try to stay away from it or use it very scarcely. Why do you think that most of these “problematic” artist/creators/consumers are here? Tumblr has always been its own weird realm, trying to make it anything else goes against what it stand for.
You’re crimes make are literal nonsense sometimes because you include such obvious personal attacks like “Made a literal essay defending GioMis” and “All kinds of awful stuff” as crimes. You added a few account because they message you about how ridiculous the whole ordeal is and you take to findind the slightest bit of “evidence” that can aid you into making them look bad. You know thats not a good reason right?? Even if it were, yall are even more guilty for committing acts of Liable and Defamation and you are choosing to for those you incorrectly put on the list, invluding the minors! Let alone hypocrisy but yall are tired of hearing that one.
Dont add other fandoms into this mess. The Hetalia fandom has been dead for more than 5 years and it aint none of your buisness. It has nothing to do with Jojo. Unless you plan on making more blocklist for ALL fandoms then, goodluck, though make em better.
Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure is a wonderful and yet problematic series, guess who’s fault it is... its Araki’s. Created a hilarious nazi character, nah its the fanbases fault for roleplaying such a funny character. Pedophilia and rape represented in Jojo and not treated seriously, nah its the fandoms fault for romanticizing it. Homophobia as character traits and degradation of women in Jojo, pfft nah f a n d o m s f a u l t for painting such “false” representations of the characters. Ah, but yall wont drop Jojo cuz that kid your trying to control media for wont drop it either. It is not your responsibility to create a childproof community when the show already has heavy themes. Its their caretakers/parents or the childs own responsibility.
I despise the argument “well Jojo is a 17+ only show so no kids allowed!” you might be right, but has that really ever stopped kids from doing anything?? It does the opposite, it creates a sense of overwhelming curiosity which leads to venturing unkown territory which they may or may not end up enjoying. The problem lies wether young teens are mature enough to watch it or not and judging by this whole fiasco, alot of the people, teens and adults, involved are not.
YOU ARE NOT JUDGE JURY AND EXECUTIONER AND YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO POLICE A MEDIA YOU DO NOT OWN OR TAKE RESPONSIBILITY INTO DOING IT FOR SOMEONE ELSE
I will give you this guys this, theres a few artist and creators that do belong there, very few as far as I could see and read into and some are missing since they are mostly on twitter instead of tumblr. But hey, I managed to find like 12 accounts that I probably wouldn’t like seeing the content of, and I found a lot of good accounts too. A hell of a lot more.
I know Im harsh and a total loser but y’all really gotta do some damage control and think ahead. Merely ignoring the fact that your movement cause a floodwave of hatred, deaththreats and suicide baiting is disgusting, adress it properly, dont condone it. Cuz Im yall wouldnt like 200+ messages of “Kill yourself you of lowlife degenerate. I dont like your the disgusting trash you like so I hope you rot in hell for the rest of your life” It isnt fun, a lot of people have received these, some are even worse and a lot dont even deserve it.
Run the list correctly, its a good idea, it could’ve been handled way better than this and you guys know it. This would’ve been great for 14 year old me not stumbling onto a lot of problematic ships when I first looked up Jojo and it can help many children in the community in the future, but you are ruiling out a majority of the fanbase with such vague and pointless rules as regular shipping and creative freedom. You are demonizing people who like basic shipping and different character desings, and that’ll scare them because they dont want tobe hated for something they like. Because a few biased opinions decided to rule out that what the kids liked is morally wrong and irredeemable. Cuz thats all I can see on the list with the exception of maybe a 12 people on the list. Thats all the rest of the JJBA community sees.

remember that "sara and wirt are dipper and mabel's parents"? please imagine the pines family reunion with Stan and Ford and stan finding out wirt is an accountant hired for some big companies
I wasnt really active in the fandom so this is the first time ive encounters this variant of the gf/otgw au
I guess that would mean that at some point Shermy Pines’ wife divorced him and took custody of Mr Pines/Wirt and then remarried and had greg in this au
somehow with the family relations i feel like the wirt would have never actually met ford and is kinda distant with stan? im not all that close with my own grand uncles and aunties and I see them like once a year, and stan is constantly like holed up in the mystery shack.
so i guess the only reason why wirt might think itll be a good idea to dipper and mable to gravity falls would be cuz shermy told them? tbh with the way stan walked out on his family while shermy was a baby i feel like stan isnt all that close to his little brother in the first place. 
and with how cautious and paranoid wirt can be i dont think he’ll just let his kids stay with a distant grand uncle. maybe sara was the one who convinced him it’ll be good for the kids to learn to be independent.
speaking of wirt, i seriously cannot see him as a person who works with computers or being an accountant. i see him more as a children’s book author or even a poet. maybe he did try but his work was never picked up by a publisher so he decided to settle with a boring desk job while writing in his spare time
so yeah i have no idea what to think about the grunkles and wirt reuniting apart from it being a little awkward cuz wirt would have never known he had more than one uncle and he never talked much to stan in the first place

Hi. I just listened to the new Bleachers song and really liked it! Funnily enough..Twenty One Pilots also released a song called Saturday this morning..so you woke up to Bleachers..I woke up to Twenty One Pilots..and they both had songs with Saturday lyrics in them! Plus it reminded me that I should definitely fully listen to Bleachers albums before the new one comes out and I remember you saying something similar about Twenty One Pilots before haha. Well their new album comes out Friday and me and my sister are so excited about it! You can also check out Saturday if you want..it was just a funny coincidence so I thought I would share but the songs are so different. This song Saturday was much more poppier which isnt bad but not what I was expecting at all. I actually only heard it once so far cuz I wanted to wait for the album. But anyway i often joke maybe they are in their Lover era..the new era colors are pink and blue..and Tyler Joseph just dyed his hair pink like Taylor did. But i mean this album will be happy and upbeat..which Is what they wanted to make in quarantine..so maybe this is like their You Need to Calm Down song cuz I'm not sure how I felt about it actually at first. It's kinda sad though cuz You Need to Calm Down came out on my bday and I didnt love it right away lol. But now I appreciate it so maybe Saturday will grow on me too..cuz like Taylor, I love them and will love anything they make. It just reminds me of Lover too cuz some people in the fandom dont like the singles for Scaled and Icy either..but I'm still so excited! I promise I will listen to Bleachers soon though.
clearly yesterday was the day of saturday related songs lol i just listened to saturday and the other singles from the album and enjoyed them! i’ll definitely give the whole album a listen when it’s out. i feel like often when an album is more upbeat they end up having less popular singles among fans because the singles tend to be the most poppy, even though like lover also contains some very soft emotional songs they just wouldn’t work as well as singles. it’s always so disappointing being excited for a song then not particularly liking it (especially if there’s the added excitement of it being on your birthday omg) but i find that often especially with more upbeat songs i might not really connect with them and appreciate them at first and then they grow on me!
