sorry but i really really do Not like the ideas people have of sonic actually liking amy back and being too shy to admit it. or that sonic SHOULD agree to be amys boyfriend because amy "deserves it after waiting for so long" and by not doing that sonic is mean or immature or leading her on. or that yeah sonic isnt interested Now but they Will get married as adults. or whatever people go around saying.

for the entire time amy was actually open about her crush and trying to get sonic to date her he would almost always either outright reject her or just not say anything but still obviously be uncomfortable or annoyed by it. to say that he actually has always liked her or that he Should like her just feels like youre saying his feelings of not being interested in amy or romance in general arent valid and are a problem that needs to be fixed. that he MUST be with amy just because she likes him and he needs to get over any discomfort he has with the idea because he doesnt have a choice. its like people are so obsessed with shipping that theyre ignoring sonics feelings or at the very least prioritizing amys over his . Hello can anyone hear me

#also people getting mad at sonic for not wanting to be in a serious committed relationship . hes 15 ????? #and sonic not wanting a romantic relationship still wouldnt be a problem even if he was an adult to be clear #its just especially weird and unrealistic to expect a teenager to ''settle down'' or whatever #expecting it from amy is a bit strange too considering shes even younger than sonic . but Whatever #sorry for the long rant. every day i wake up and see terrible takes about sonic and amy and what their relationship is/should be like #the ideal resolution to the whole crush thing isnt sonic eventually liking her back #its sonic never liking her that way but amy being ok with that and accepting that and theyre still best friends #that is what would be best for them as characters i think #mandatory disclaimer that i love amy #because ive seen some people act like hating so//namy or sh//adamy or whatever other amy ship #and liking amy as a character are mutually exclusive opinions. which is annoying and i dont want people assuming i hate amy #okay to reblog by the way but not if youre going to try to argue with me becuase i dont feel like arguing about this lmao

is it an unpopular oppie (cute way of saying opinion) to think that stories with only 1 or 2 gender customisable LIs is kind of the way to go moving forward for choices 🧍

like the main issue ppl have been having seems to be the quality of the books n their subject matter, n the quantity of LIs won't fix that? back when it WAS the norm to have 3+ LIs per book every non-whiteman LI would get sidelined and treated like shit by the plot. at least now when the plot railroads you into spending more time w one LI u can choose their gender/appearance, and it's easier to split screentime equally between 2 LIs compared to for example 4

plus limiting it to less LIs allows the story more time to flesh out characters n ur relationships w them. it's easier to incoprorate LIs into the plot n make them important + impactful when there's less of them

OBVIOUSLY none of this is ideal and their whole business model is a bit garbáge, these are simply my thoughts !

#playchoices #im of the belief that this app is a bit of a sinking ship and i am not super hopeful that things will improve in the way a lot of ppl want #but the 1-2 LI model has worked best for their recent books considering their propensity of hurling all their resources toward developing #ONE li and their romance w mc and centering the entire plot around them #like open heart wouldve been so much more bearable if ethan was customisable id enjoy being scolded by a hot woman doctor a lot more #same w beckett #they have an issue w making lis very generic in later books too n this kinda solves that #easier to write 1 or 2 unique romances for a book than 4 #im working within the confines of what i think r realistic for this game obvsly but ya. idk i don't mind it so much as long as the book #itself is interesting enuf to catch my attention #which unfortunately it is not. and that is the main issue 4 me #plus vip boooo me and my homies hate the vip model booo #stfu nisa

I think we would all get along a lot better if everyone could just accept that "queerplatonic relationships are important rep and shouldn't be diminished" and "romantic relationships between women are often written off as friendships and it's ok for wlw to not feel drawn to that interpretation" are two statements that can and should coexist

#like yeah i understand it sucks if you really want it to be queerplatonic that the fandom as a whole has very much jumped to romance #but at the same time its also nice that for once the f/f ship is this popular #and its not like there havent been any specifically romantic suggestions about it at the table either #i get that queerplatonic rep is important i get that #but i know when i see those at this point bi-weekly post urging people to consider it could be platonic i do get frustrated #cause while i know objectively that isnt whats being said it feels a whole lot like being gal palled does in straighter spaces #(also feels bad when people put all the queerplatonic focus them when cr has several special platonic m/f bonds but thats another post) #but at the same time that doesnt warrant hostility towards people that dont see it as a romance #these people are queer too and deserve rep too and regardless sending hate is never ok #just #maybe everyone stop trying to push your view on others and just wait it out #and block people whose takes upset or annoy you thats much more civil than picking a fight #critical role #cr3 #imodna

found out that rascal's owner took him again while i was out, and he's probably not gonna be back since the semester's almost over. i don't even know if his owner's coming back next semester, if i'll ever see him again. if he'll ever see me again. why do they wait until im not around to do this? why do they never let me say goodbye to him?

#i didnt really get to process it bc i found out when i was hanging w a friend but. im processing it now #sigh.. i dont know. i dont know. #at the end of the day he is and has always been someone else's cat. i can't control what she does with him #no matter what i think of it. she can always take him away. but every time it happens im just. im tired yknow? #it's worth it to me to have him around. i love him dearly and i want him to be in a home where he's actually cared for (which i have done my #best to provide) but he's just. not mine. and every time it happens i back up and think man. im such a sucker. #i don't think people manipulate me often. not in an ongoing way i mean. i don't think ppl see me as valuable enough to most of the time. #but damn. she really found my weak spots didn't she. free petcare courtesy of one chump who can't live without animals around. sigh #he deserves stability but he deserves love more. this weird shared custody thing is better for him i think. and frankly i also love him. #im not the priority here but my feelings are like. there. him being taken away without even telling me first hurts. i'd like to be able to #say goodbye to him. im not saying he has to stay or this has to go on but couldn't they just.. consider my feelings a bit more? #just bc you're fine with dropping your cat off somewhere for weeks not knowing when you'll see him again and not visiting doesn't mean i am #and i kind of feel like my roommate is part of this. after all it's not like his owner can just break into our room and take him #and if im always out when they do it there's a chance roomie's just shipping him off whenever she gets sick of him. #she's done it before. even after she agreed so vehemently with me about never wanting him to go back to such treatment and stuff early on. #she's been spraying him for little reason lately too. and i mean i get being a little more cautious with some things bc her neck's broken #but she's really fixated on how much he smells and bites and stuff and talks about how if i wasn't around she'd consider eating him #and then other times she's like that's my pookie. i don't get it. like yeah i tell rascal to fuck off sometimes bc he hurts me but it's not #like a hateful thing. i dont resent him for it i'm just annoyed sometimes bc he's maiming me a little. he's my baby. how could i loathe him? #so it makes me think that roomie might be blaming his transfers on his owner bc she doesn't want me to judge her #and like. this is her room too. it's not her fault she's more bothered by the smell than me. if she doesn't want to be bitten and clawed all #the time i can sympathize. i don't wanna force her to house him. but i wish she'd just be honest with me i guess #like. what if his owner decides to give him away without telling me? i'd take him in in a heartbeat. even though i know it's a bad idea. #but i'm worried he'll fall out of my reach completely. and at the very least I'd like to be able to say goodbye first. that's all.

all the stuff that could be avoided if you just played the game before making ship art of characters you don't even know so you didn't accidentally erase the identity of the one character who has theirs stated basically textually within the first twelth of the game...

#you don't even like the game or the characters at this point you just like this... weird à-priori you have of it. you just like what has #come to you through a game of telephone almost 20 years long. #i still don't know the details of this situation because i know i'm not being told everything #and it feels kinda silly to be made privy in tiny bits (but also i understand why not everything would be shared with me it's kinda not my #bizness) but this is such. my god. skill issue. #hate gatekeeping i do but like. not even making it to DAY 3? #DAY 3? it was too hard to wait until DAY 3 before ship art? #i hate the term “shipping brain” because i consider ship art to be. sorry for my words. Valid & an important part of fandom #but now... THIS is shipping brain. not even able to hold back before day 3 out of 36(!). you don't even know these people. #anyways. forever giggling at this point. day 3. not even day 3. you could just watch a let's play at least...

What if I made this as off-putting as possible instead of romantic.

#I mean I'm very heavily leaning into the humor for this one but what if I made it funny AND creepy #then I wouldn't have to pretend I know how to write a functional relationship #(well. as functional as these two characters can be anyway.) #the problem is that most of my ideas are about analyzing relationships between characters #and some of them are fucked up with the romantic element unrealized (which is a lot easier to write because of. you know. personal history) #and some of them are about how mental illness interacts with one's relationships #but the rest of them are straight up 'how would these characters get together and build a relationship that works for them' #and I WANT to write those things because they're important to me and because I want there to be more fic for my unpopular ships #but the idea of ME trying to write something where the entire focus is people getting into a happy and relatively straightforward #relationship feels...laughable. #c2g is different because it's not like...straightforward at all? there are a lot of elements at play there. #and the characters are ALREADY together. and most of the fic really is just unpacking their psyches. #I wouldn't call it a romance fic? #but Deranged Oneshot is...probably somehow actually closer to that idea. #but like. what if it wasn't. #ugh maybe I DO post this one anonymously like I hate considering that but that might be the #only way it actually gets finished #(though. of course. I have to figure out how to get c2g finished too. because we are ALSO struggling there just #for different reasons) #mc13 writes #c2g #The Fic That's A Lot #(and others)

16 classmates means 256 potential dynamics to explore if we only consider 1 on 1 interactions (which i will! ...until this sentence ends) and that means 256 drawings. considering that group interactions exist and it can be any combo that is... a way larger number.

i have 2 hands, 0 time and too much ambition!!

haha! oh no.

how it feels to chew five stickmen.                           stimulate your senses

#avm #read this if you dare #this doesnt even come CLOSE to explaining everything goin on inside my head #but i guess i can note some stuff #firstly blue is such a little hater because he REALLY isnt cool with people who have hurt his friends #its like they get all older brother about it so thats why they still hate mango's guts #two a lot of the color gang consider red as a younger brother/just a sibling #and three the romantic relationships; purple might've sorta developed a crush on green but he doesnt know that #so he thinks of them as a friend and they dont wanna mess things up so to the friendzone they go #next endie and red have a thing for each other but endie is so dense about it and they dont see each other enough to go anywhere #so they stay friends for now but the others all know endie has a massive crush on red #and lastly vic has given mango the tittle of hot guy i wont shut up about except he doesnt know them so its a bit weird and parasocial #you know the drill #and all of these. arent fully canon in my mind it depends #im not one to genuinely believe in ships in canon unless stated otherwise by the media #maybe purple is the exception cus i see him doing that thing where someone your age shows you a pixel of kindness and you're head over heels #animation vs Minecraft #i actually reccomend doing this even if its not understandable too #its fun to think about #OH and green has a complicated relationship with mango because he isnt sure he's good for purple yet he has to prove himself #but he wont tell him that #on the other hand mango respects him as purple's friend #im not tagging all of these #avm ships #i guess

Can ANYONE at all on this platform PLEASE be normal about Rogu ??

Posts that even do so much as mention the poor guy are scarce as is, but ALL OF THEM that i've seen treat him like he's some kind of shiny new boytoy for gay people or something !! Y'all ?? Does this make NO ONE ELSE uncomfortable ?? How ? The fact that I'm seeing this from the Yujikiri crowd of all people makes me supremely uncomfortable...

He's a child. He acts like a child. He's clearly stated to be the little sibling of the Rulid Trio. His main trauma is shown to be tied to strong abandonment, loneliness and self-worth issues, which he is seeking to heal by forging familial bonds with our main characters, which ends up putting him in the role of a little kid brother.

And people are seeing this character and thinking about how hot he is and the myriad kinks they can associate with him ?? I'm sorry, but what...? The same people who rave about Eugeo being such a beautiful tragic character and how precious his relationship with Kirito is ? Those people ?

Honestly I feel like I just lost a mildly safe space here ( and I say only mildly because some of the shit some people say is extremely alienating to me as an aro person who yes, loves Eugeo and Kirito's non-platonic relationship. but seriously, how do you gayasses manage to uphold the rules of heteronormativity in your gay ship posts ? there's myriads of types of love and attraction that aren't romance ! you can do better at inclusivity ). Even just for browsing around, let alone interacting.

Truly I chose the wrong character to become attached to after my Lycoris binge.

#sword art online #sao lycoris #sao last recollection #sao rogu #rogu #i do wanna clarify this is not an attack on any specific user here #i've seen fantastic yujikiri posts and blogs and i've seen ones that make me want to scream and tear my hair out #in anticipation of anyone who would retort using something like this as an argument : #yes i do think shipping kirito and rogu is just as weird as shipping kirito with silica #silica can have her one-sided crush it's fine these things happen #but suggesting kirito should reciprocate ? big no no for me. #suguha is a different case entirely since she did have romantic feelings for him at some point but clearly those are fading over time #and their relationship as siblings is getting healthier too #but i'm not here to do a commentary on sao shipping in general #y'know. i guess i should've been expecting something like this to happen sooner or later considering how harem-focused the gameverse is #why wouldn't people want to sexualize every new character am i right ? #ugh. #what's true is that the design of rogu's outfit is definitely NOT helping people's view of him. hate that for me. #teka rambles #if people treated rogu half as decently as they treated silica i wouldn't be making this post

I really admire how you're able to ship every duck with Charlie lol

LMAO. look. is it my fault that charlie has chemistry with everyone on the team? no!!! heart of the team etc etc 😌 idk, i just love love. i love the idea of different types of relationships with different types of people, and the possibilities that come with each type of love. i love the idea of finding a 'true love' in different people (platonic or romantic). and i just love exploring different dynamics!!! like, for ex. charlie/jesse is a completely different dynamic from charlie/adam, so it's fun to be able to write that. HOPEFULLY i'll add to my growing charlie/duck collection in the future

#the mighty ducks #also i kinda hate the whole OTP concept #like the thought of there only being ONE person that's right for you #that's anxiety inducing #no shade to anyone who only has 1 OTP per character tho #like... different dynamics for different people! #unless you're one of those 'my OTP is the only right ship and everything else is wrong and toxic!' people #then pls go outside of your bubble for a bit.... #i also think stepping outside of my comfort zone (which was charlie/adam at the time) helped me broaden my horizons a lot #when i wrote rose-colored boy i was SO insecure about posting it because it was so different from what i usually write #but it was very well received! and it even made people consider the idea of charlie/julie! #and i've gotten a lot of positive feedback for charlie/jesse too #which is amazing bc this fandom is so small #but i appreciate it a lot #also sorry anon for some reason i thought you were talking bout fic but just realized you didn't mention it #maybe u were talking about my gifsets or headcanons!!! #either way!!!

I love when artists (mostly asian language speaking?) make distinctions between “different canons” like they’ll draw the same character differently and portray a different personality for the game vs. manga vs. spin-off. that means I get to see even more interpretations of a beloved character.

also if the st*r wars fandom did this I think there would be a lot less discourse like “ouhhh you’re writing j*ngo with the comic in play got it”. on the other hand I also loving mashing together canons for new flavours so maybe people should just learn to have fun

#admittedly this is possibly leads us to onceler shipping faster than usual (a fandom’s ecological crisis due to lack of diversity) #also way harder to separate sw canon it’s way too deep & self-referential at this point. we just have fun #like can u even write j*ngo without considering m*ndalore at this point….? would shift the entire rest of the galaxy as well #bytebun rambles #mostly looking at this drawing like ough it’s 3 for the price of 1 #i love you fanartists….. #also admittedly fandom discourse can be fun. as long as it’s not actually hurting people (if u send hate get outta here)

goodness I love him so much

#wow. today was wild. i made more progress on the game and he showed up a LOT #he did some horrible things. beat some people up. kidnapped a child. suggested he cut the child's finger off and mail it to her grandpa. #but... 😳. im so in love with him. he's such an asshole but wow... wow. he's so funny and handsome.. and so strong... and his voice gives me #so many butterflies!!! to think that i once hated this man... funny how fast things change huh? #also. another character called him “the meanest son of a bitch i know” (direct quote) #HE'S SO RIGHT. BUT.. HE'S MY MEAN SON OF A BITCH #he totally owned it too ajsjajsj he KNOWS he's horrible!!!! but also.. he cares a lot about his Blade... too bad she didnt last for long LOL #ash tries her best to comfort him during that time. she had grown to care so much for the man she considered her biggest rival in the world. #she also falls in love with him- ahem- and um... if i may be a little self-indulgent........ a.khos falls for ash too. #AHEM SNDHWIRYWBRBW #it's the enemies to lovers ship of the century!!!! #(i never said this but... he can get really cuddly when he's sleepy. it's the cutest thing in the world honestly) #and... you know how he's a theater kid and always talks about the script and shit? well uh... after their first kiss ash just chuckles #'that wasnt on the script right?' #of course he says no. falling for ash wasnt on the script but... for once he doesnt mind going off script #ash just shyly smiles. 'youre really good at improv then.' #OH ALSO #AHSJWHDJQHDJ #a.khos also likes to call ash his 'leading lady' #GAAAAHHH I HATE HIM (lying) ive fallen so hard for him. he's all i can think about. my heart is his. i am so sorry to all my discord friends #because i never shut the hell up about him #ash rambles 💚 #i love him!!!! i know he's an asshole but i love him for that too!!
