Anime/Manga Writers: Why don’t the fans like the canon straight couple instead of the non-canon gay ships?

MC looking at their canon love interest: So pretty and fights good.

MC looking at their rival/best friend/partner: They’re like the sun, brilliantly blinding and all-consumingly powerful. There’s a deadly beauty and grace to every action they take. They’re the other half of me that I never thought could exist, the one person who pushes me to be my best self, and life without them would not be worth living. There’s nothing in this world that they could not accomplish and I am but a fool chasing after them in hopes of reaching their level. Even then, having them in front of me/by my side has pushed me to heights I never thought imaginable.

Both Sora & Vanitas asked them to peel their oranges. Being the good boyfriends they are, they peeled all the oranges they could find "just in case".

#Soriku #Vanpliku #Vanipliku #khfa #kingdom hearts #also i hope u all #noticed that riku peeled the oranges better than repliku #he didn't leave as much white stuff and he got bigger ones.#repliku did it super fast and like desperate so he got a lot of them and did them all messy #riku is more mature so he took his time and picked a lot of them but more carefully #so like repliku is so desperate to give vanitas everything #he is greedy to steal rikus too. and riku only knows what hes thinking because thats exactly what he woulda thought at his age too #lattes'art

you don't need morals, you need someone like you who can understand

#kingdom hearts #namine #vanitas #vaninami #?#there is no context for this drawing. its simply just an image #Veeeeeery loosely based off some concepts for an RP server (friend group) (same friend group as the sonic roleplays a year ago LOOOL)#... me and my boyfriend both roleplay some characters including these two #a reformed vanitas is so important to me but the scars are never going to heal as long as he's himself #I don't think he needs people to forgive him and justify what he did under xehanort's abuse #I think hee just needs people to love him anyways even with what he's done #i think vanitas and namine are more similar than they come on. Just on opposite ends of the spectrum.#the forever damaged and angry abuse victim and the digestible helpless victim #i kind of want to draw more and elaborate my thoughts but honeestlyyy. another time LOL

who are you? who am I to you?

#kingdom hearts #kh #ventus #roxas #I JUST THINK THEY SHOULD TALK ABOUT IT!!!!!!!!#when u go through a whole character arc about forming your identity and becoming your own person -#- and then you find out theres this other guy you never knew existed who looks and sounds exactly like you #and now you gotta go through this whole process AGAIN #and what is that like for ventus? like looking into a mirror #like looking at sora or vanitas but it's different. it's different than just having the same face or being the same height #they have the same eyes. the same hair. the same freckles #roxas is sora's nobody but he's ventus's too. what does that mean. what does it mean #my art #kh art

God it just hit me.

Names are power in VnC. We call the piece of the world formula that defines a vampire their "true name." Learning and altering a vampire's true name gives you near-absolute power over them. Vanitas hides his old name as part of his "Vanitas" persona—a defense mechanism to hide his vulnerable self.

And names are an axis of discrimination too. The main way we've been examining discrimination against the dhampirs is through the lens of vampires refusing to call them by their names. And Luna, the perennial outsider, seems not to have been given a real name. They certainly didn't have a name that they liked or identified with for most of their life.

So with all that context, even more than it might be in another series, Teacher's whole name shtick becomes such an insane power move. He changes his name constantly and will brutally punish anyone that gets it wrong. Nobody has the power that would come from knowing whatever his first/true name was. He has the physical and social power to punish and correct anyone that doesn't call him what he wants to be called. He is in complete control of how people address him, or at least close to complete control, which is such a big deal within this story.

#this was just gonna be a post about how it's interesting that names are the vehicle through which dham discrimination has been emphasized #and then I thought of teacher when I was thinking of counter examples #and then this hit me like a bus #if power comes from knowing someone's true name. and safety comes from hiding it #and calling someone what they want to be called/calling them their name is a sign of respect #teacher's found a way to ensure he gets all the safety AND all the respect #(if only out of fear)#also I realize me calling him teacher through this whole post might be a little ironic #but at this point it's just automatic #vnc #vanitas no carte #the case study of vanitas #vnc spoilers #vnc 62 #<<not super directly. but with the dham name thing #english major hours #teacher my beloathed #comte de Saint Germain #the shapeless one

#tumblr is still my doodle archive #my art #venitas #ffxiv #kh #sprawl au #ooooo veni you are so creature #first of all. Bunny. Bnnuy. I would like to consider the bunny. Sorry for trapping him he’s doing plot in my brain #I drew vani a while ago but I should have made him a catboy. I will next time I draw him #second of all back in pic order #ari is trying to be kind but violence is extremely fun for him. He loves it. He loves to gloat and he loves to cackle #if he’s allowed at a target for his pent up rage and aggression he gets weird #second of all I’ve been thinking about gender as one does. And what it would look like 5000 years in the future #so like in sprawl. there’s an entire timeline of gender studies and anthropology that leads from our time #through where the entire notion COMPLETELY fell apart; through where there was a resurgence of ancient gender roles #back and forth and in circles and where new things sprung up and fell and debates about the validity of self went nuts #Xion knows a lot about it bc she will claim trans as a label vanitas also knows a lot of things because he Doesn’t consider himself #trans. vens confused he was literally never taught about any of this. unity(divine) has its own… kinda messed up way of doing it #he got lost somewhere around the advent of gene augmentation and nonhuman drag (she didn’t have to go into that detail she just thinks it’s #really cool)#(Also that was really early —)#Anyways. vanitas is also getting his sense of touch back up there. xions a miracle worker #transgender is even a slightly archaic term. it completely died for about a thousand years and then came back with a retro wave

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep - The Land of Departure

#kingdom hearts birth by sleep #khbbs #land of departure #scenery #my gif #man... i really do wish we could have spent more time in this world and learned more about the characters' lives here #it's very beautiful with a big castle but it's also very desolate #almost as if no one else lives in this world #no sight of any towns in the distance even when viewing the world from space #vanitas describes it as a tiny world so i think it's safe to assume there really isn't much of anything past those mountains #it could have to do with eraqus's vehement hatred of darkness so he raises his pupils in such a sheltered environment #as a means to 'protect them'#he does suck as a master honestly #so what's up with this place anyway?#the architecture is reminiscent of scala ad caelum but is it because eraqus modeled it after his home town or is there more to it?#in the fourth gif with the flags there's a bridge that you can't fully see but it's destroyed and doesn't lead anywhere #not that there's any land across from it that it could even lead towards #it raises a lot of questions...#i could be looking too far into things but it's fun to speculate #haha jonathan you read my essay

kingdom hearts girls i love you

ID: two rows of three smiling headshots: Kairi, Namine, Xion, Aqua, Strelitzia and Skuld of Kingdom Hearts fame. Kairi has her Kingdom Hearts 2 hair, purple eyes, tanned skin, and a couple freckles. Namine’s eyes and the shape of her face are both softer, her eyes paler purple, and she doesn’t have the same :3 smile as Kairi -- Xion, however, does, along with the same freckles as Kairi, two under one eye and one on her neck. Her brown eyes and thicker eyebrows match (how I draw) Sora. The only notable changes to Aqua’s design are a scar across her cheek and the bridge of her nose, and a smaller scar over her lip. Strelitzia has freckles, and Skuld’s skin is light brown. end ID

#kingdom hearts #khux skuld #skuld #strelitizia #aqua #kh aqua #kairi #xion #namine #i feel like its been so long since i drew any kh.. i miss it #everytime i go kh mode i think about hypothetical little differences #btwn the faces in the kairi-namine-xion and roxas-vanitas-ventus-sora groups...#this is just the first time ive actually gone through with trying to draw it...#perhaps ill try some kh boys. roxas ventus sora terra xemnas is what i have in my head rn.. well see
