The blueberry tart moral quandary has been very fun to ponder! Thank you for sharing it with us. I think the real question, however, is what each of your animals would think about ordering two slices of tart under the circumstances

You're right, that IS the true question here. Let's situate this in a universe where blueberry tart is safe & delicious to eat for all animal species.

CHICKENS. The chickens would definitely want that second helping of tart because chickens live in a solipsistic moral universe and would hesitate to share tart even if it was their dying sister's last wish. However if you place two slices of tart on the ground for 2 chickens, they will immediately and violently start fighting each other over the same slice, thus giving you the opportunity to discreetly retrieve the first slice for yourself. Moreover, if a chicken manages to break off half of the slice and starts running like hell to go eat it elsewhere in peace, the other chicken will take off after her instead of eating the other half happily by herself. If they then break this half in two while fighting over it, they will resume fighting over that half of the half, allowing you to retrieve 3/4 of the second slice. And so on. This is Zeno's paradox applied to chickens and tart: the hens will spend the rest of eternity fighting over diminishing crumbs while you get almost all of the second slice back (albeit broken in increasingly minuscule halves.)

CATS. Not only would the cats want that second slice regardless of who else wants it, they would also sit & start grooming themselves on the rest of the pie with great serenity, rendering it inedible for anyone else. However, my original post established that the pies were under large bell jars. Two of my three cats are (to their everlasting torment) stymied by this sadistic human invention. If the bell jar is heavy enough that you can't push it off the table (a popular strategy), then Mascarille and Merricat will just circle it a few times, ram their faces into the glass, do a full body swipe against it in case this might open a secret door, and then walk away in frustration. Morille on the other hand is a cat possessed of extreme patience, diabolical intelligence and acute interest in forbidden food. She will get the tart no matter how long she has to lie in wait.

DOG. Pandolf would not want a second slice or even a first one, if he is made to understand that this might make other people sad. The thing with Pandolf is, he can smell disappointment. His great big nose picks up on every particle of human disappointment in the air and they go straight to his heart. He is also too polite to even defend his bone from thieving chickens. There's no way he would claim any tart at all unless someone gave it to him and made it clear they would be happy for him to eat it. However Pandolf is very cute when he sits there with a lolling tongue, happy for others to have a good time, and there is also no way one or several persons wouldn't give him their slice of tart. He would definitely end up with tart.

LLAMAS. Pampelune is the matriarch and since her duties involve dying to protect her herd in case of predator attacks, she considers it her prerogative to eat first and as much as she damn pleases in compensation. She would get two slices. I believe Poldine would choose to have only one slice and kiss everyone in the restaurant on the cheek for good measure, and I also believe she would actually get zero tart. As shown in the salt video, Poldine understands her place in the pasture hierarchy (the one who eats last) and has to resort to subterfuge to get even 1 lick of salt while others are gorging themselves. She will be very dependent on other people's temperance and decency to get any tart (so, Pandolf is her best bet.) Meanwhile Pampérigouste is trying to figure out how to escape the restaurant undetected to go on an adventure while the sheeple are talking about tart. She will get one or two or three slices but only if they can facilitate her various stratagems (for example, to bribe a guard at the door.)

The FISH—do not have the cognitive abilities to worry about morals but more importantly, do not experience soul-deep desires in the way the birds and mammals in this list do. My fish live in a smooth and quiet world where the gods make food rain from the sky every day. In this luminescent existence of untroubled abundance their capacity for longing has atrophied. They do not understand what wanting tart means, let alone the complex philosophical agonies humans can put themselves through when faced with culinary conundrums.

DONKEY. Pirlouit's first instinct would be to claim all the tart he can eat and then some. However donkeys and fish sit at opposite ends of the philosophical spectrum; Pirlouit strikes me as an animal who would be interested in exploring the ethical ramifications of the issue, as an intellectual exercise. 70% of his life consists in quiet deep ponderings. I think Pirlouit could get distracted ruminating the blueberry tart quandary in light of the rich philosophical heritage of donkey civilisation, and arrive too late to get any tart by the time he determined whether one or two slices is the right answer. Kind of like that time he got distracted by his need for revenge and was late for breakfast and the llamas had already claimed the hay.

IN CONCLUSION.

#ask #thank you for the question this was also fun to ponder!#morille & the hens were the most obvious answers

Hcs for the titans mcs pls (Dick, Gar, Rachel, & Kori)

Lowkey gonna marry whoever sent this 😜

TITANS RELATIONSHIP HEADCANONS

I assume you meant relationship, so here’s that

Characters: Dick Grayson, Rachel Roth, Gar Logan, Jason Todd, and Koriand’r

Genre: fluff 😜 relationship hcs

Warnings: SPOILERS ⚠️ mentions of death & injury. Slightly suggestive. None of the characters mentioned are mine, all Headcanons are made up by me, not canon whatsoever. Everything said/mentioned is fictional.

On with the fic

Dick Grayson

He a baddie

He tries actually so hard to keep you out of danger

I feel like he would try to hide the whole titans thing from you if you didn’t know about it, but realistically finding out would be inevitable

He can always tell when you’re lying. It’s like a sixth sense to him

As a matter of fact, he can tell when anyone lies to him

He probably likes it when you help patch him up after a fight (not that he would admit it)

If you’re expecting a man who’s open about anything (his past, etc) you have another thing coming

It would take a lot for him to actually open up

Even if he does open up, he doesn’t like telling you much about his time with Bruce.

Dont bring it up either lol

Man is so touch deprived omggg

It’s not exactly that he never got it, it’s more that he never wanted it

He would like flinch if you ever touched him, but he would get used to it

He has a fat ass I wanna slap it

If you do that, he’s probably gonna slap yours back

No PDA. Holding hands at the MOST. Unless you’re upset or hurt, then he’ll give you a quick hug or something

He likes to stay serious generally, but sometimes he’ll be silly and it’s so cute ong

He wants you to stay away from the crime fighting scene.

He even gets scared for your health in case one of his enemies decides to go for you

He would try to teach you some self defence

If you are a crime fighter, he helps you train, and stays close to you on missions if he can

His favourite part of your body is your face. He loves looking into your eyes or kissing your lips or cheeks

Next 😜

Rachel Roth

She’s probably so sweet and understanding

You are always her main priority

All she ever wants is to keep you safe

Sometimes, she gets very distant because she can’t control her abilities and she doesn’t want to accidentally hurt you

If you didn’t already know the titans, she would absolutely introduce you to them as soon as she can

She can’t help but smile when she looks at you

She gives you her clothes if you want <3

She’d only open up after a while, it wouldn’t take too long, but she would still be a little distant

She loves being close to you and like hugging you or holding hands

Very up for PDA

No making out or anything, but will hug you and hold your hand in public

She just thinks you’re the most interesting person ever

She remembers every word you tell her

She would probably get matching piercings with you omgggg

She loves painting your nails to match hers

Like Dick, she can also tell when you’re lying. (But that’s just a side effect from her abilities)

She always posts pictures or videos of you on her social media if she has any

Will always offer you an earbud if she’s listening to music, will be very happy if you do the same

She loves learning about what music you listen to

Loves getting matching anything (hoodies, rings, even online profile pictures)

Her favourite part of you is your eyes or your hands

Garfield Logan

When he sees you’re upset, he will say the worst jokes he can think of to make you laugh

Even when you’re not upset he does that anyway

He just loves hearing your laugh or seeing your smile

He thinks it’s the cutest thing ever

Absolutely LOVES playing video games with you

It’s literally his favourite thing in the world

If he notices you’re cold, he might give you his jacket for a bit

Will defo turn into your favourite animal for you

Especially if it’s a dog or a cat so he can cuddle with you

Opens up so fast tbh

It’s good tho that means he trusts you

Little spoon fosho 😜😜😜

He loves holding or touching you in some way

Loves PDA sm

Just loves proving you’re his

The titans probably knew about you the first day he saw you💀

He’d get you guys matching white shoes and get sharpies to Color them together <3

Would draw a wiener somewhere on em tho

PAINT HIS NAILS

He would make you do some stupid ahh tiktok dances with him

Would give you some stupid nicknames

His favourite thing about you is 100% your hair. He would absolutely adore touching it/playing with it, no matter the length

Jason Todd

He a little cute patootie

IDC WHAT HES DONE

Everyone he talks to knows about you tbh

He’s just so proud of you

He makes so many sexual jokes it’s wild

Also always grabs your ass 😢

Gives you some cringe nickname

He doesn’t like opening up, I can understand that

He prefers hearing you talk, rather than him

Would protect you with his mf life

Also would teach you to fight

He wants to know that you can protect yourself when he’s not there

Adores it when you clean his wounds or rub his shoulders after fights

He’s pretty secretive but would probably break down one day and tell you everything

Would definitely give you his hoodies/sweaters

Koriand’r

She loves when you make her laugh, it makes her feel more comfortable with you

Matching jewelry 🔛🔝

Loves it when you play with her hair

She can’t really use words to express how she feels about you, prefers to use her actions instead

She doesn’t want you to think differently of her because she is a princess or whatever

She’s had plenty of past lovers, but she knows you’re her favourite

She’ll take a while to open up, but she will eventually

Doesn’t do PDA

Or very much physical affection as it is

Will still hug you tho <3

Like everyone else, she will do everything she can to protect you and make sure you don’t get hurt

modern TSH au headcanons

Bunny has every social media app under the Sun. he’s always uploading pics of himself, him w/ Marion, the Greeks students, and his family

the only devices Henry would have would be a flip phone and a simple laptop. you’ll barely be able to reach him. He wouldn’t even think about getting a smartphone unless Julian mentioned having one and its perks

Camilla loves listening to Lana del Rey, Fiona Apple, and Ethel Cain

Francis has used every ice bar flavor out there

the Greeks class adore dark academia (while also promoting its elitism and Westernization because they are rich (sans Richard) assholes)

Judy runs an instagram account called @/hampden_affirmations. all of the Greeks class students have been targeted by her posts at least once

the Greeks class still wear their noticeably formal clothes, but they are constantly asked by the others if they thrifted it/bought it from Depop

Richard has a secret TikTok. he would be devastated if one of the other Greek students found it (Bunny found it).

Charles is obsessed with cute animal videos. he would send them to the rest of the Greeks class

This man spoils you when he has the chance to. I feel like he will take you to window shop snd once he catches you staring at something with admiration he will remember that item and buy it for you to surprise you. You saw that $50 coat that looked cute and warm? You got it. Your stomach started making noises? Mammons got you, he will stop what he’s doing and take you to get some food that you would like.

Mammon will still act like a tsundere, he always will that’s just him lol. If he says something and you took offence to it, he will drip the act and reassure you with a blush on his cheeks.

He loves you so much, he will basically do anything for you. You are #1 to him after all!

COOKING DUTY TOGETHER!! Mammon would love for you two to cook together, he counts it as small dates.

Definitely shows you off to everyone, if someone looks at you in a way that makes him mad they will never be seen again

He does those matching necklaces or rings.

He will definitely learn to cook your favourite meals to impress you.

Definitely takes you in his car! I see him taking you to drive in theatres often. He will make sure to get you food at a drive through first so you don’t get hungry

If you ever embarrass yourself, he will embarrass himself just as much as you did. He will never let you feel embarrassed on your own

(He would probably steal stuff for you as well when he goes broke, but makes sure he isn’t caught)

˚☽˚｡⋆. LEVIATHAN

Video game dates A LOT. Leviathan will probably even make a whole game just for you and him to play

If you two went on a date outside, I feel like he would take you to a aquarium, those cute cafes and manga/anime merch stores.

You guys do those all nighters a lot, unless you are more of a sleep kind of person he doesn’t mind sleeping

Definitely takes you to arcades! He will even try to win stuff for you

Takes you to those anime conventions, he would want to cosplay as couples

Satan would get you two some matching cat merch, probably sweaters or mugs

At lunch in RAD, he sneaks you two out and go to a better cafe for lunch, he will pay as well.

You guys cuddle lot’s while he reads books

If anyone messes with you or tried flirting Satan will glare at them, later on they will be missing

˚☽˚｡⋆. ASMODEUS

Asmo is the sweetest ever! If you ever feel insecure say bye to the insecurities, he will sweet talk to you about every detail of yourself telling you how amazing you are.

He always gives the best hugs when you are cold, cuddles as well.

You two have makeovers and self care nights every 2-3 nights, he wants you to feel at ease and relaxed

Matching nail colours. Will also have some matching outfits.

You two use each others closets a lot, he looks amazing in some of your outfits and you look amazing in his!

Loves having bubble baths, has a whole collection of scents. You and Asmo go out and buy different bubbles and other things for the bath

Spoils you A LOT. Takes you shopping each week, you will have a lot of clothes and other stuff

He does your hair, nails and makeup(if you’re into that) sometimes

If anyone is rude to you, he will spread rumours about the person, the next day everyone was talking down on them.

Post’s lots of selfies of you guys together, everyone on Devilgram thinks you guys are the cutest couple (he also posts your dates)

He’s another one to take you on dates to restaurants & cute cafes.

˚☽˚｡⋆. BEELZEBUB

Never shares his food but since your his partner he definitely lets you take at least one bite of his food if you look hungry (also buys you more food if he accidentally ate yours)

Lot’s of food dates, as well as gym dates, he wants to be near you at all times mostly

Sometimes he allows you to sit on his back as he does push ups

Beel always looks for you in the audience at his fangol games, he waves at you with the cutest smile each time he does meet your eyes.

You guys also do cooking duty together, mostly because you have to stop him from eating the ingredients

He helps you reach stuff that are too high for you, let’s you sit on his shoulders to get it. He finds it adorable how short you are compared to him (I personally feel like he’s 7’0 because y’know demons are supposed to be way bigger then humans)

He’s always the sweetest, loves cuddles as well

If you are ever cold in public, he will give you his jacket.

Long-Distance Yasammy HCs

Just some post-canon long-distance relationship HCs for Yasammy for y'all during the count down to Chaos Theory <3

Yaz struggles HARD with the long distance. She trusts Sammy with every fiber of her being, but every once in a while, she worries that Sammy will move on since they don't see each other much.

Conversely, Sammy worries that Yaz will get so caught up in track that she'll eventually get tired of keeping up with the relationship.

They video call a LOT, especially when they're doing homework, relaxing, or just when they need to hear each other's voices (which is often)

They also host virtual watch parties so they, and the rest of the Nublar Six if their schedules line up, can watch movies and chat together.

After the semi-isolation of being on Isla Nublar for so long, Yaz starts to get overstimulated at school and when she's in big groups. Whenever she does (and can't calm down on her own), she calls Sammy, who always manages to make her feel better.

Yaz sends Sammy postcards every time she goes on a trip for a track competition. Sammy creates a scrapbook with them.

After Yaz expresses how much she misses her, Sammy mails her one of her hoodies. Even though it's a bit big on her, Yaz starts wearing it to school and to track meets whenever she can. She also likes snuggling up with it in her downtime.

For holidays and just whenever they want, they send each other gifts through the mail. Sammy prefers things like stuffed animals and cute keychains, while Yaz prefers more practical things like sketchbooks and art supplies. Though Sammy does send her some cute things too, which she's secretly obsessed with because they remind her of Sammy.

They have a mutual understanding that they won't call each other past a certain time unless it's an emergency (like a nightmare). When this does happen, the other is more than willing to wake up and talk for a bit.

Yaz doesn't officially celebrate most holidays, so when she gets the chance, she flies to Texas to celebrate them with Sammy and her family.

Whenever she can't visit, Sammy puts her on a video call so that Yaz can feel like she's part of the festivities. This is always the best during Christmas since Sammy's family also sends Yaz gifts and gets to watch her open them.

They initially plan for Yaz to fly to Texas for her birthday, but it falls through because of an important upcoming track meet. Yaz is devastated by the whole thing, so her mom secretly pays for Sammy to visit them for the week.

Yaz is over the moon about the surprise. She's also excited that Sammy will finally get to attend one of her track competitions (naturally, Sammy cheers for her super loudly the whole time)

At some point, Sammy gets sick and goes radio-silent for a while. Yaz FREAKS out and nearly runs out the door to try and hitch-hike to Texas before her mom stops her. Eventually, Sammy responds and tells her what happened, and Yaz starts checking in on her more regularly until she gets better.

Because of how much time they spend apart, they always get shy when they're together again. But once they get comfortable, they're just as touchy and cutesy as ever.

And they're both pretty bad at kissing :p lack of practice and all that.

Sammy likes reading bedtime stories to Yaz over the phone. It helps calm them both down if they're feeling particularly anxious (since sleeping on the Island was always dangerous and that anxiety sticks with them)

When Yaz visits the ranch, she's AWFUL with the animals. Sammy just finds her fumbling and struggling adorable, even if she teases her about it.

Sammy cries out of joy when Yaz reveals her plans to attend college in Texas :)

Hi there, i assume you're most likely flooded with requests currently but here's my shot if you feel like it : how about how the Badbatch reacting to their s/o posting simple normal stuff on their social media (like spotify links, cute pics all that)? I think that would be so cute 🥰🥰🥰 i don't think you've done something like this before so it's totally okay if you don't want to!

Aloha!

Indeed, I am, and I barely have time to work through them, but I do, bit by bit, hoping no one hates me for being so slow 😬😅 Interesting question. Let me look into this....

The Bad Batch x Reader HCs - Your Social Media

Warnings: Mostly Fluff/Maybe Slightly Angsty

______________

Ko-Fi (If you feel like giving me some coffee)

______________

>Master List<

Tech

Our shy Tech uses social media to find out things about you, even before you're a couple. Stalker? Yes and no. Basically, he just uses it to try to find out what music you like, what movies, if you like to read, and if so, what books. Tech spends a lot of time browsing.

He is looking for information about you that will make it easier for him to start a conversation with you, to surprise you in a positive way and to respond to you. Tech feels more confident approaching you when he already has some background information.

But he also likes to check in on things in the future, keep up to date. He's often in the tunnel at work, and that's how he finds out if he's missed anything when he's on a mission. Maybe you've discovered a new favorite song, or something culinary, or you're reading a new book.

Of course, he doesn't miss the opportunity to send you links to reports, documentaries and the like, about whatever he's excited about. The last link was a report about upcoming, groundbreaking new hyperspace technology.

Hunter

He has no idea about social media, he himself has had no contact with it until now, and Hunter has never been interested in it. Until Wrecker points out to him that you're on social media.

"Have you seen that funny Loth cat video your sweetheart shared?"

Hunter frowns.

"What, shared, I don't quite understand."

Wrecker shows and explains everything to him in general terms, and Hunter ends up making a social media account on the Holonet. The cat video was amusing, but not the reason. He wants to know what else you share, if maybe there are hobbies he doesn't know about, or events you'd like to attend.

In fact, three days later he surprises you with tickets to an event you're dying to attend, but can't find the money in time.

Hunter doesn't spy on you, you can do whatever you want. He just picks out a few little things, like this event, to make you happy.

Echo

He stays away from it completely. In fact, he hates this social media nonsense. There was even a whole format of its own for clones, and he remembers well how some of his brothers used to act online. He doesn't really need that.

You can do whatever you want, of course, but he won't touch that stuff unless you explicitly ask him to. Echo still won't spend much time on it, just occasionally liking one of your shared posts, but that's all you can expect from him.

Echo is not comfortable on the Holonet, it's not nearly the same, yet it always kind of reminds him of his imprisonment by the Techno Union.

"You spend way too much time with this devil stuff".

Wrecker

He is all over the place. Wrecker has an account on every social media site, and he posts as regularly as he can. Cute and funny animal videos mostly and in stark contrast, videos of explosions. Every now and then a music video and articles about guns and explosives.

In fact, he bombards his pages so hard that sometimes you completely lose track of what's going on and don't really manage to keep up. But Wrecker miraculously knows, despite his own constent-posting, what's going on with you in social media.

Among other things, you once posted a picture of him when an admirer wouldn't leave you alone. After endless attempts to get rid of him and several block attempts whereupon the nag just kept making new accounts, you shared Wrecker's picture in full gear, with you next to him.

"This is my boyfriend, if you want me, work it out with him".

Wrecker drops the holopad laughing and says, "What's going on? You didn't tell me that someone was bugging you."

You shrug your shoulders, "Always wrote to me privately. I thought it was time to expose that person."

"Hm," growls Wrecker, "Let me know if he doesn't stop."

Crosshair

One of those who talk badly about social media, very badly, avoid it for quite a while and then suddenly sink into it almost like an addict. Crosshair has his holopad in his hand every free minute, checking his messages, new links and likes.

Crosshair will never admit it, but he really enjoys the attention, being anonymous in a way and still being noticed. Of course, he also digs through your social media, and you can assume that he scrutinizes everything.

He knows the guys who are on the Internet, make immoral offers, send nude pictures and want to have nude pictures and so on. Otherwise, he flies over the things rather so casually, he's not really interested, he rather wants his contributions to be seen, shared and liked.

Shadowgast Recs: Featuring Cats

This week, we have a dozen mostly-fluffy fics that feature Caleb and Essek's cats - sometimes Frumpkin, sometimes the ones that come after. Dig in after the cut - and as always, if you liked them, don't be afraid to kudos and comment!

You don’t understand, we don’t hold hands. by comradeartemis (1435,Teen) Warnings: none

In a modern AU, Caleb and Essek are teachers and Frumpkin has a habit of showing up on zoom

Reccer says: It's very cute!

On our own time, in our own way by royalgreen (allyoop) (1576,Teen) Warnings: none

Essek learns about New Years wedding traditions. Essek then panics.

Reccer says: It's extremely cute and fluffy

(Do I wanna know?) If this feelin' flows both ways? by Criticalpancake (17758,Mature) Warnings: none

Caleb and Essek go from friends with benefits to something more with the help of Frumpkin

Reccer says: It's a soft, very pleasant Modern AU set in the post-97 feeling of being attracted to each other but not sure where they stand - and both are more comfortable showing affection to the cats than other people

Herding Cats by roundandtalented (3258,General) Warnings: none

Essek keeps on bringing home cats, for a very loose definition of cats

Reccer says: It's sweet and soft and there's a little bit of humor

a piece of me that's always somehwere else by essektheylyss (midnightindigo) (4718,Teen) Warnings: None

The small black cat that Caleb has taken in does not like Essek, until he very much so does.

Reccer says: Very sweet and fluffy, with just enough of a hint of angst to make it tasty

Familiar by Timbrene (8793,Teen) Warnings: none

Essek's interactions with Frumpkin, before and after the campaign

Reccer says: There's a lot of touching descriptions of Essek learning about cats, interspersed with a lot of yearning

A King in Cat's Clothes by royalgreen (allyoop) (1544,Teen) Warnings: No warnings

Caleb owns a cat cafe, and Frumpkin is very suspicious of Caleb's new friend.

Reccer says: Frumpkin's POV is amazing and hilarious. Frumpkin does not forgive and does not forget, even though Caleb and Essek are well on their way to becoming soft domestic boyfriends.

Troublemaker by SaltCore (1309,General) Warnings: none

Essek deals with an unruly kitten. Caleb is smitten.

Reccer says: It feels extremely true to life and all the more adorable for it.

Smoke Sting, Strangled Pulse by thetickingclock (783,Teen) Warnings: Major Character Death, Lifespan Angst

Two different castings of Find Familiar

Reccer says: It's a short piece, and little bittersweet, but it's very evocative

a healer’s gift by toneofjoy (7280,General) Warnings: None

When one of Caleb’s cats falls suddenly ill, he seeks help from a druid healer.

Reccer says: This is a cat owner’s dream. It will make you want to give your cat a smooch and maybe cry into their fur, in a good way.

Traveling Elf AMBUSHED by WILD BEASTS by Professor_Rye (2709,General) Warnings: none

Based on a certain cute video, Essek finds himself targetted by a number of stray cats on the side of the road

Reccer says: It's tooth-rottingly sweet. Just completely adorable

In the Cat’s Tongue by Interrobang (1367,General) Warnings: None

Caleb gets a magic item that lets him cast speak with animals. He learns secrets from the cats.

Reccer says: I commissioned this and it definitely exceeded expectations! It’s SO sweet, and it’s funny, and it’s like a heated blanket on a cold day. This is definitely every pet owner’s wish fulfillment fic.

Aeor is for Lovers is an 18+ Shadowgast Discord server. The above fanfic recommendations were pulled from our community for this weekly event. All fics, unless otherwise specified, will primarily feature Shadowgast. And hey! Don’t forget to leave comments and kudos for the lovely authors!

My Headcannons About The Despair Time Cast Playing Super Smash Bros. Together

I randomly got this idea and decided I needed to post about it.

Xander has accidentally broken three controllers. He gets really into the game and forgets how strong he is. MonoTV bans him from the console for a few weeks every time, yet he never learns his lesson. He doesn’t know any of the characters’ names, but he does know he always plays as ‘the really cool sword guy!!’ (Link).

Nico always plays as the animal characters (If you count Pokémon as animals), and sometimes Kirby because they like how cute and gender neutral the character looks.

The cast thought David would play as a cute animal crossing character or something, but no. Ridley. Ridley every single round, and he has to fight the urge to laugh in the loser’s face every time he wins. Unless someone else wants to be Ridley, then he will grumpily gladly choose a different character.

Arei will not hesitate to laugh in your face when she wins. She plays as any cute character, because she thinks it’s hilarious when the buff, sword-carrying dudes lose to tiny, pink fluff balls. She will, without a doubt, resort to foul play if she starts losing and will knock the controller out of her opponent’s hand to win.

J refuses to play as any girly-looking character. It’s always some super buff guy, like Snake. Or at least she always played as a buff guy until she learned Samus was a girl who dressed up in a cool armor suit to beat up aliens, and started playing as her from that point onward. She will also laugh in the loser’s face when she wins.

Ace is pretty good, but only if he plays as a Princess character. Otherwise he sucks. And he’s too prideful to pick a Princess character most of the time, so he almost always sucks. The rest of the class didn’t know this until Arei made fun of him for being terrible at the game and challenged him to a one-on-one round. Princess Peach never looked more ferocious…Until Arei stole Ace’s remote and wouldn’t give it back until she’d killed his character ten times.

Levi doesn’t play most of the time, but when he does, he lets whoever’s closest to him pick his character. It usually doesn’t matter who he’s playing as, because he’ll probably end up accidentally running off the stage repeatedly or get the jump and punch button confused with each other (He doesn’t play video games a lot).

Teruko plays as Bayonetta, for no reason other than Bayonetta being cool and badass. She’ll usually get really close to winning, only for her controller to run out of batteries at the last second, even if they’d charged it five minutes prior. Or worse, the console overheats and completely shuts down (once it caught on fire). So she, like Levi, also usually just watches.

Eden sometimes plays as Ness, who seems small and cute and innocent until suddenly he’s shouting ‘EAT FIRE!!!!’ in your face over and over again and forever trapping you in his eternal flames. But despite her prowess as Ness, Eden usually chooses whatever characters no one else will pick, because she feels like those characters must feel left out and sad that no one plays as them. But she’ll make them feel better!!! Even if it means losing.

Veronika loves to play as the monster characters, especially Ridley, because Ridley is the scariest. She often will narrate her attacks and give extremely gruesome details about how many bones her opponents have broken and how many organs they’ll have to replace after the fight.

Arturo is often forced to play when Veronika does, and he will play as any hot, pretty character. If he loses, it’s not the beautiful, amazing character’s fault, it’s his. He’ll never understand why Veronika likes playing as the ugly monsters.

Rose likes to play as Jigglypuff, because Jigglypuff always makes characters fall asleep without warning, and looks like a fluffy pillow Rose would like to snuggle. She likes to jokingly blame her terrible sleep schedule on an invisible Jigglypuff that follows her around everywhere.

Min claims video games are a distraction from her studies, but eventually the class persuaded her to play. Before she did, however, she did a fair amount of research on which character would be best for her to choose, and eventually settled on Zelda because she read Zelda had a cool teleporting power.

Whit plays as whatever character he can think of the most puns for. For example, if he were to sneeze right before he picks? “Well, I guess this is a sign that I should pick Pik-achoo!! Get it? Because ‘achoo’ is the sound effect for sneezes in comics and stuff?” “Yes, Whit, now please pick your character already.”

Charles always plays as Dr. Mario, because the character has a respectable profession and therefore, must be the most talented. Charles isn’t very good, since he never played video games as a kid, but Whit calling him various doctor-related, punny nicknames makes up for it (Even if he’d never admit that).

Hu is often the supervisor, trying to make sure no one angrily throws a remote across the room or turns off the console when they’re losing (*cough* Arei *cough*). But when she decides to join a round, she plays as an Animal Crossing villager, because they carry butterfly-catching nets, and she really likes butterflies.

Heroes of Song Devlog Part 9: Exploring Alebas

I am so stoked to have momentum on this game again. Here are the game’s design principals, which I’m partly putting in each of these posts as a reminder to myself:

The heroes are cute.

Kindness matters.

The world is weird.

Sometimes you don’t fight. Sometimes you do.

Health is hearts.

Let’s get into exploring the weird world of Alebas! I’ve been working on exploration rules, and I I’m really liking the direction they’re taking (someone notice that it’s funny to mention “direction” when talking about exploration rules).

In the fifth devlog, I got into region generation, which is the first part of exploration. This is where your party gets to the top of the next hill or through a canyon or to a distant shore and the next region stretches out in front of them. This includes generating some landmarks and biomes for the region.

Points of Interest, Blank Spaces, and Getting Lost

I’ve since added are points of interest and blank spaces. Points of interest are drawn out of the region generated by the players. If one of the biomes was a lake, that might turn into a specific lake for Heroes to visit. If one of the landmarks was a graveyard, that could be a named graveyard or the graveyard of an abandoned chapel. These points of interest could either be listed out or sketched onto a blank map.

Heroes can easily travel between known points of interest without playing out the journey or rolling anything. When they get there, the Songkeeper rolls two dice to find out if the place is dangerous or peaceful.

Blank spaces play out much the same way, but Heroes will need to make a roll to find them (unless they have a Scout leading the way). If Heroes successfully get to a blank space, it becomes a point of interest.

Failing this roll means the Heroes get lost and have a random encounter. Groups can also choose to get lost for the sake of wandering around the world looking for interesting, organic-feeling encounters. I’m liking the getting lost mechanic. I think it’s a good middle ground between having no random traveling encounters and having traveling between any two points on the map being tediously lengthy. Of course, there may be journeys the players want to see more of, and nothing in the rules would stand in the way of this.

Hidden Treasure

When the Songkeeper rolls doubles while seeing if there is any danger at a point of interest, there is also something hidden to be found in that point of interest. There are several loose options for how the thing is hidden and what the Heroes will need to get it. This is how I’m handling secret delving in the “open world”. I think it will give some of that feeling of organic discovery found in the video games that inspired this game.

Wrap-Up

The overall idea with points of interest is that each is a place the Heroes can go to and find something to get mixed up in. Not every point of interest has to be a dungeon or super essential to the plot, but they can find something interesting or useful at each one.

I need to test this to see if it has the feel I’m hoping it will have, and I’m sure there will be some refining. One thing I’m already wondering is the amount of burden it puts on Songkeepers to make each location a place worth going to. There might be some additional tables added, especially for locations without any danger.

I’ve also started some work on community building mechanics. Haven Park and Animal Crossing definitely sit among my inspirations and I want Heroes to have some clear ways to engage with the game that aren’t combat-related. I think community building could really contribute towards the “Sometimes you don’t fight” part of this game.

Final piece of news is that I’ve been talking to an artist who’s interested in doing the art for the game! I won’t say who until we’re a bit further along, but it’s an exciting step towards making this feel more real.

New Inspiration Side Note

I just finished playing Chants of Sennaar. It’s a really cool indie game about decoding languages and connecting people. I think I will be writing about it soon. It is definitely giving me ideas about how players can engage with the languages of Heroes of Song.

Until next time!

The world is weird; kindness matters.

about me — people i’d like to know better.

Thank you very much for the tag, @miqojak! It took me a while to fill this up because I tend to write a lot, just like you, haha.

LAST SONG. “Trickster” and “Showdown”, both songs by the Japanese band FIVE NEW OLD. They are opening themes for the anime HIGH CARD, which I finished binging just last week. The songs incorporate a lot of English lyrics—the main vocalist, HIROSHI, is a fan of Western culture since young. His English pronunciation in those music videos are pretty good. A quick content warning about the songs involving poker card themes, to err on the safe side.

FAVORITE COLOR. It’s hard to pick just one specific color, since I’m a fiend for graphic and web design… I’d say monochrome—all the different shades of gray, including white and black. I like neutral colors most since they’re very versatile when combining with other colors to make palettes for my design ideas… and well, it also makes clothing coordination fairly straightforward, because I can’t be bothered to spend time thinking what to wear every day, you know?

CURRENTLY READING. Wuthering Heights, by Emily Brontë. When I first read this book—as a teenager and merely out of curiosity, I recall—I was fairly disgusted by the characters, especially at the raw violence and toxic relationship between them. Now that I’m older (and hopefully wiser, I dunno), maybe my opinion of this novel will change. We shall see. I don’t recommend this book to minors because it’s a disturbing read, and I’m saying this from personal experience, lol.

CURRENTLY WATCHING. Odekake Kozame (en. Little Shark’s Outings). It’s a short animation series depicting the slice of life of a very cute baby shark called Kozame-chan. It’s based on a collection of short comics by Japanese artist Penguin Box, which were originally posted on Twitter. It was later picked up for serialization by Kadokawa Corporation and Enterbrain for their Aokishi magazine since October 2021. I highly recommend this wholesome series to brighten up your day and help you stay positive!

SWEET, SAVORY, OR SPICY? Sliding between savory and spicy depending on my mood of the day. I don’t like sweet stuff, and usually tend to avoid them unless I really have to take some.

RELATIONSHIP STATUS. Single and happy to stay this way. I’m not stopping my muses—especially Yiuno—from trying to find a partner in life, though.

LAST THING YOU GOOGLED. I don’t keep track, honestly. I mainly use Google search like a dictionary. I mean, at least it’s ad-free, I guess?

CURRENT OBSESSION. Aside from my muses (I’m forever and always obsessed with them), I’d say dark academia—with sprinkles of Victorian and gothic aesthetics. And maybe a bit of witchcore and vampcore.

Grabbing names from my notifs because you all are lovely people I want to know more about: @archaiclumina, @starrysnowdrop, @yloiseconeillants, @starforger, @arty-ffxiv… and anyone else who wants to have fun with this. Tag me if you want me to read yours!

Okay your new header is SO cute!!!

So for the ask meme, our lovely mumble boys!!! 1, 8, 35, and whichever your favourite number is!

Thank you so much, and thanks for indulging me!

1. Who fell for the other one first?

Generally speaking, Ryou is the hopeless romantic who falls first, but somehow in Power of Three, he's the last one to fall for both of his boys. 🤷‍♀️ Seto falling for Ryou first is just too adorable.

8. Do they get along with each other’s friends and family?

Oooh, I've made a post like this before, but I never get tired of talking about how these boys build their family.

Seto lets Ryou put up a little angel shrine to his mother and sister in the mansion's garden with votive candles and such (thanks to my "Ryou had a Catholic mom" headcanons). Duke is not on speaking terms with his parents (idk that we know anything about Duke's mom, but assuming she's not dead, I think he resents her for what she let his dad do), so Kaiba is happy to stonewall them as well. "The enemy of my friend is my enemy." And if either Duke's dad or Ryou's dad shows up uninvited, Seto is taking every legal measure to keep them as far away as possible.

Ryou and Duke love Mokuba, and Mokuba loves them. Kaiba cannot date anyone longterm that Mokuba hates, it's not allowed. They get along super well and it's honestly enriching for lil Mokie.

In an AU where Amane is secretly somehow alive, she and Mokuba become BFFs, she slips right into his friendgroup with Leon and Rebecca, and he has a big crush on her. Seto and Amane don't quite know what to make of each other, and that's partly because Seto is weird with women. Duke and Amane would get along great, total nerdy gamer bros.

Kaiba is forced to learn how to play nice with the rest of the gang, mostly due to Ryou's insistence. Ryou's not going to keep the people he cares about all separate unless there's a very good reason for it, and he doesn't think Kaiba has a good reason for refusing to interact with the others. Duke actually would have been fine with Seto staying so standoffish, but does admit that it's not fun when they can all do things together with their friends.

35. How do they deal with being away from each other for a long time?

Ooooooooohhhhhhhh boy. *Deep breath* Okay, SO.

When Seto has to travel and taking either of his boys with him isn't an option, they use phonecalls to stay in touch. Seto doesn't usually do much of the talking on these calls, but hearing their voices and listening to them happily talk about their day and their ideas makes him happier in that "I miss you more than I did before" kind of way.

Sometimes Duke has to go to America for business stuff with Pegasus, and he prefers video calls and exchanging selfies to help with missing his boys. Kaiba won't take selfies but Ryou takes pictures of him on Duke's behalf, which is deemed acceptable.

When Ryou is missing his men, in addition to the stuff above, he will wear their clothes to feel closer to them and hang out in a spot where they usually spend their time. Sometimes he'll drink coffee when he misses Seto, even though he doesn't really like coffee. It makes him feel closer. Then when they come back, Ryou is all over them for cuddles.

And, since you asked for my favorite number, I've become a little... extra indulgent.

33. Who is the big spoon and why?

Mostly Kaiba, secondarily Duke, but Ryou will be a big spoon too sometimes to both of them and it's precious. Ryou likes to hold onto people and cuddle, and Kaiba denies that he's a cuddler, but if he's holding them in his sleep and they creep out of his hold for any reason, he wakes up fast. It's secretly an anxiety thing. Ryou figured that out first but doesn't say anything about it. Duke just loves physical contact, he will go either way with either of them. 😉

48. Who would bring home a homeless animal?

Ryou 1000%. He will come home with a box of abandoned kittens, crying because he already loves all of them so much. Duke grabs the tissues and Seto summons a veterinarian.

49. Do they match outfits for special occasions?

Ryou likes to match Kaiba, and Duke likes to be his own thing. Duke's style and flair are very distinct and don't match Kaiba at all, though they are an interesting complement. Sometimes Duke wants Ryou to match him instead, and that's when Ryou becomes an absolute doll that his boyfriends dress up because he would wear casual comfy clothes every day of his life for every occasion if he didn't have such fashionable men to guide him.

#answered ask #mumbleshipping #duke devlin #ryou bakura #bakura ryou #seto kaiba #kaiba seto #ryuji otogi #otogi ryuji #euroshipping #mastershipping #minorshipping #ship musing #amane bakura #iamallyetnotatall

Miya's 2023 Fanfic Recs Part 1

Here are all the cool, complete fics I've read this year. Separated into 5 posts because there's nearly a hundred of them.

PART 1: BOKU NO HERO ACADEMIA (33) (Note that there are a few BNHA stories in part 5.) Part 2: Other Animes and Cartoons (20) Part 3: Television (16) Part 4: Video Games, Movies and Books (16) Part 5: Crossovers (11)

Title: Plain Scary, 10/10 Would Not Recommend Author:Manfedzku Pairing: None Rating: General Word Count: 1,872 Summary: For a huge fundraising event, Class 2-A decides to host a haunted house as their contribution. Because none of them knows how to chill, they hold an internal contest, with the students splitting into two main teams and a prop department. Midoriya himself is super excited to use his Quirk for actual fun and entertainment, except that some have brought up that his array of powers and ghosts would make it unfair for the opponent. “How about this?” Midoriya bargains, slightly miffed. “I don’t need One For All to strike fear. I’ll do it Quirkless.” Or, Kind, compassionate Midoriya shouldn’t be able to fucking terrify anyone without his eldritch-like powers, but non-believers who’ve faced literal war hell find out that he does. He does.

Title: reconcile Author: whatagoodegg Pairing: None Rating: Teen Word Count: 151,203 Summary: Midoriya and Shigaraki get hit with a Quirk that basically locks the both of them in an indestructible box and makes them unable to physically harm each other. The only way for them to get out? They have to reconcile their differences. Obviously, this is easier said than done.

Title: Complicated Creation Author: Elemental Pairing: Aizawa Shouta/Yamada Hizashi Rating: General Word Count: 112,787 Summary: Midoriya Izuku is medically quirkless, not technically homeless, perpetually exhausted and doing his damned best despite it all. He also sees spirits, which might be cool if not for the fact that a) no one else does, b) they really don’t like him very much, and c) he’s pretty sure the heroes now think he’s a villain working for the League. Aizawa Shota just wants to take down Overhaul, rescue Eri, keep his students alive, get some rest, and find out how this Deku kid knows things he absolutely should not know about his personal life and the Shie Hassaikai case. Unless Nighteye’s right, and the kid really is a villain.

Title: Family (Regardless of Blood or Time) Author: Blueseabird2 Pairing: Aizawa Shouta/Yamada Hizashi Rating: Teen Word Count: 16,252 Summary: Shouta gets sent back in time and immediately starts putting things into place to take down All for One. More importantly, he also adopts a lot of children, meets friends at the Park, and joins Midoriya Inko on her crusade against society’s idiocy. He gets Nezu involved. (He’s also not as alone as he thinks).

Title: looking for sunlight Author: the_crownless_queen Pairing: None Rating: Teen Word Count: 3,964 Summary: Being at Mighty Tower feels a little like a dream come true, to Izuku. Okay, maybe a lot like it. In which Aldera is terrible (duh), Mighty Tower is awesome (also duh) and Izuku’s new acquaintance/possibly friendly adult Yagi Toshinori is pretty cool — and taking him to meet All Might.

Title: If Pining’s a Joke, We’re a Comedy Show Author: JajaLala Pairing: Fukukado Emi/Kayama Nemuri, Aizawa Shouta/Yamada Hizashi Rating: Teen Word Count: 7,729 Summary: Kayama Nemuri has a certain problem with a cute joke-themed hero. Every time they meet sparks fly, but it’s impossible to tell whether Ms. Joke really feels the same, or if she’s only flirting for the sake of comedic bits. Shouta, the confidante, is getting tired of all this pining.

Title: Sparkling Friendship✨ Author: Emily_Elizabeth_Fowl Pairing: Aizawa Shouta/Yamada Hizashi Rating: General Word Count: 11,839 Summary: One raised brow later, Shouta remembered there was a question he was supposed to answer. He muttered something, hoping Hizashi would let it go. “And now with words this time?” Hizashi said a small smirk dancing on his lips, and Shouta huffed. “I said there wasn’t a guy,” he didn’t, but this was close enough. “I just-” What was he supposed to say? Got distracted because I saw you through the window during my nightly pass by your apartment and I was overcome by the need to feel how soft your hair were ? “…Got distracted,” he finished lamely, keeping the rest of that explanation to himself. “By what?” Hizashi sounded incredulous, tilting his head slightly, another strand of hair falling onto his face. *** Or: 5 times Shouta thought Hizashi and him were dating, and the one time they actually were

Title: Loser, Forsaker, Mover, Shaker Author: jukoist Pairing: Midoriya Izuku/Todoroki Shouto (minor) Rating: Teen Word Count: 25,278 Summary: “So you and Bakugou… You were never exes? You really were just friends?” “Well, I was Kacchan’s friend. He was my bully.” Midoriya gets hit by a truth Quirk, and his past relationship with Bakugou comes to light. Midoriya learns what it means to have people on his side; Bakugou learns what it means to face his mistakes head on. Dredging up the past is dirty, and painful, but it’s necessary if you want to heal. AKA Protective 1-A, Hurt Midoriya, and Bakugou/Consequences.

Title: Fun At Hero Con Author: wolfsrainrules Pairing: None Rating: Unrated Word Count: 3,627 Summary: Midoriya Izuku is still the biggest hero nerd to walk the earth and not even being Number One is going to change that. Now if only he could remember to tell his fans that he is Pro Hero Deku.

Title: The Toes Show Author: RayShippouUchiha Pairing: None Rating: General Word Count: 1,657 Summary: By this point, Izuku feels confident in saying that there’s very little online he hasn’t seen or at least heard of in some shape or form. So Izuku knows that if he digs deep enough there’s got to be some kind of job online he can take that won’t care that he’s young and quirkless. All Izuku has to do is find it. ~~~ Come to find out Izuku doesn’t have to dig all that deep after all. Even if the job he ends up with is far from … conventional.

Title: Keep You To Myself Author: RayShippouUchiha Pairing: Aizawa Shouta/Midoriya Izuku Rating: Mature Word Count: 9,192 Summary: And yet the truth is that Shōta knows himself, has grown to know Izuku, well enough to know that what they’re doing, what’s between them, it’s not friendship. Or, at least, it’s not only friendship. Not on either of their sides. Friends don’t have this kind of tension practically seething between them. Friends don’t harbor this kind of underlying burn smoldering away beneath every word exchanged or this electric sort of charge coursing through every accidental touch. Title: Brain Pain Author: RayShippouUchiha Pairing: None Rating: General Word Count: 2,430 Summary: “Oh ho ho,” Izuku chortles into the darkness of his closet even as he grabs a bottle of water up so he can start gnawing on the cap. “I think the fuck not you raggedy-armed bitch.” It’s easy enough to start typing out a reply even with one hand and his vision sometimes blurring in and out. “I know a guy with more arms who’ll be a way better hero than you ever were,” Izuku mumbles around his water bottle, one eye squinted closed as he puts all of his faith into his phone’s extensively trained spell check and autofill functions.

Title: There Is A Pattern Here Author: lovelysandlonelys Pairing: None Rating: Teen Word Count: 9,309 Summary: Midoriya Izuku was just barely keeping his grades afloat. It was a hard thing to do when you were quirkless, because quirkless people were less evolved beings and couldn’t possibly be up to par with their quirked classmates. And better than them? An impossibility. Alternatively: All of Izuku’s teachers have accused him of cheating, until now. Title: Pied Piper Author: Blackholeca Pairing: Aizawa Shouta/Shirakumo Oboro/Yamada Hizashi (background) Rating: Teen Word Count: 297,091 Summary: If they wouldn’t give him a chance then the solution seemed simple, he’d give himself one. He’d force the world to see him, force them to recognize his hard work. He wasn’t missing a quirk, it was simply that everyone else had been given an advantage. He wasn’t broken, or useless, or incapable, and he’d prove it by outrunning all of them, he who was quirkless, he who had started in last. [UA rejects Midoriya from the hero course and he finds salvation in vigilantism.]

Title: damage control Author: yamadadzawa (liarielle) Pairing: None Rating: Teen Word Count: 6,741 Summary: Midoriya turns to Shouta, gripping his hand in a fist despite his clearly broken finger, and boldly declares that he’s still standing, that he doesn’t need to be rescued this time. Shouta can’t help it. He shouldn’t, damn it, he shouldn’t encourage this, not when the kid is displaying a frankly disturbingly high pain tolerance. But he can’t help it. A feral grin stretches across his face. Maybe Hizashi is right, and it does pay off to be an optimist, because it looks like Midoriya Izuku might not be skydiving towards his fate after all. This kid can learn. He can be saved. —– Or: Midoriya isn’t surprised to see his name in last place on Aizawa’s quirk test, and believes that he deserves to be expelled. He’s not expecting to be wrong, and he’s definitely not expecting to have friends who don’t hesitate to stand up for him.

Title: Witness Author: PitViperOfDoom Pairing: None Rating: Teen Word Count: 37,608 Series: Part 1 of Good Neighbors (Words: 62,416 - Works: 2) Summary: When a violent turf war breaks out between rival villain gangs, a civilian is caught in the crossfire and killed, and the Number One Hero Endeavor is called to quell the fighting and restore peace. Shouto has been trapped working for his father since graduating high school, his life and career firmly under Endeavor’s control. Determined to keep his masterpiece from striking out on his own, Endeavor gives him an assignment that will keep him as far from the public eye as possible: bodyguarding Midoriya Izuku, the sole witness to the murder.

Title: What it Means to Be a Hero Author: DeusVerve Pairing: Asui Tsuyu/Midoriya Izuku/Uraraka Ochako Rating: Teen Word Count: 278,089 Series: Part 1 of What it Means to Be a Hero and Side Stories (Words: 280,081 - Works: 2) Summary: Staring at a trembling boy before him, All Might knows what he would’ve wanted someone to tell him if he’d asked the Number One Hero if he could’ve been a Quirkless hero. And if that notebook he signed was anything to go by, a little help from Nedzu and the boy might even surpass him. When Midoriya Izuku asks All Might if he can be a hero without a Quirk, the Symbol of Peace says ‘Yes.’ Title: in the depths of shadows Author: starburstsunshine Pairing: None Rating: Teen Word Count: 65,522 Summary: While out on patrol, Shouta comes across Midoriya, who may or may not have unlawfully apprehended a villain. As it turns out, Midoriya seems to have an affinity for getting involved in trouble. And as it turns out, Shouta seems to have an affinity for taking in powerful, aspiring heroes. (Hizashi just says that between Oboro and Shouta, they simply have the tendency to take in strays. Hizashi is rarely ever wrong.)

Title: answer me. Author: supercrunch Pairing: Midoriya Izuku/Shigaraki Tomura Rating: Explicit Word Count: 16,944 Summary: A finger touches his stomach and traces up his chest. It stops to investigate a small rip under his right pec, pressing against Izuku’s bare skin. It leaves goosebumps. “Your little jumpsuit’s not very durable, is it, Deku? I like it.” “Don’t.” Izuku tries to back away. He can’t breathe. Shigaraki toys with Izuku’s zipper. It moves slowly downwards. Izuku’s exposed collarbones prickle in the cold. He shivers but doesn’t dare try to cover himself up. “You’re not good,” Izuku whispers. “You’re awful. You’re insane.” “Yes.” A bead of sweat drips between his pectorals and into his navel. Shigaraki follows it with his eyes. And then with a finger, dry and cool against Izuku’s itchy-hot skin. “I hate that your little friends keep interrupting us,” Shigaraki whispers into the corner of Izuku’s mouth. “Let’s try it this way, pretty rabbit. You come find me. Promise we’ll get a moment alone.” (The first time Izuku sees Shigaraki Tomura he thinks nothing much. They second time they meet, though, is the time Izuku really sees him. It happens in a crowded shopping complex and it starts with a hand around Izuku’s throat.)

Title: 1 loud blonde friend + 1 loud cloud friend = 2 very annoying boyfriends Author: Emily_Elizabeth_Fowl Pairing: Aizawa Shouta/Shirakumo Oboro/Yamada Hizashi (pre-relationship) Rating: General Word Count: 1,643 Summary: ”-So if you pass the exam on your first try, I’ll go out with you.“ Yamada was staring at him as if he suddenly declared the sky was bright neon green. Shouta blinked, vaguely uncomfortable. Did he misunderstand? Were they just joking? Pranking him-? "That is a cruel and unusual punishment,” Yamada announced, making Shirakumo snicker. “My love life is going to depend on my math result? I’m going to die alone.” “My future as a hero depends on your math result,” Shouta reminded him dryly, moving to take the starter textbooks out of his backpack. “I think this is a fair exchange.” Or: some tutoring shenanigans. No math was hurt in the making of this fic!

Title: Suikawari My Heart Author: RayShippouUchiha Pairing: Aizawa Shouta/Midoriya Izuku Rating: Teen Word Count: 9,834 Summary: Cheeks noticeably flushed, Dekiru sits down on the stage and fits a watermelon between thick, toned thighs. His hips twist, those thighs flex, and the watermelon cracks, spilling a fresh wave of juice and sweet pink flesh all over Dekiru’s lap. “Oh god,” Shōta can’t help but say, riveted despite himself, “I wish that was me right now.” On stage Dekiru’s eyes go wide as his head snaps up and his attention somehow abruptly zero’s in on Shōta. It’s at that moment that Shōta becomes aware of the deafening silence that’s fallen over the beach.

Title: Throw The Last Door Open Author: the_crownless_queen Pairing: None Rating: Teen Word Count: 8,593 Summary: Katsuki bit on his tongue so he wouldn’t scream — what, he didn’t even know — and kicked the wall. The elevator jerked to a stop. “What the-” “Kacchan!” Deku shouted, hand clenching the railing as he stumbled. “What did you do?” There’s nothing like getting trapped in a metal box with someone you’re currently annoyed at. Nothing.

Title: sugar and spice (and everything nice) Author: the_crownless_queen Pairing: None Rating: Teen Word Count: 3,402 Summary: “I was thinking that I could make something sweet for Aizawa-san?” she asked, tugging absently at the hem of her dress. “He’s always eating those jelly things, and they’re sweet, but Yamada-san and Nemuri-chan always say they’re not real food and are bad for him…” She wasn’t really looking at him and so she couldn’t see the way Izuku’s eyes teared up from how adorable she was being. “I think that’s a great idea! Do you know what you want to make?” She hesitated for a second before nodding. “Could we make candy apples?” Title: Matchmaker Matchmaker (Gonna Match Him A Man) Author: RayShippouUchiha Pairing: Aizawa Shouta | Eraserhead/Midoriya Izuku Rating: Teen and Up Audiences Word Count: 5,083 Summary: “You did what?” Naomasa eventually rasps once he can breathe again.

“I don’t want my boy to make the same mistakes I did,” Toshinori explains. “But he’s a great deal shyer than I was at his age. So I’ve taken it upon myself to reach out on his behalf.”

“No,” Naomasa practically gasps, some strange mix of horror and glee in his expression. “Toshinori, tell me you’re joking. You’re trying to matchmake Izuku?”

Naomasa doesn’t wait for Toshinori to actually answer him.

Instead, he just breaks out into loud braying laughter, uncaring of the way everyone around them has stopped to stare.

Title: Multilante Author: Starlight (Fandom_Eclipse) Pairing: None Rating: General Audiences Word Count: 13,660 Summary: Izuku was debating the merits of seeking out the new vigilante group that was on the news when he heard the list of known members. He knew those names. Specifically, he knew those because they were assigned to six of his hoodies.

He knew he should come clean. Maybe just stick to one costume, or stop being a vigilante altogether. Groups were treated much more seriously than lone entities, and he could get in serious trouble if they sent heroes after him expecting backup that didn’t exist.

A week later, he had characters designed for every hoodie he owned.

In which Izuku becomes a one-man organization, and everyone has to deal with the consequences.

Judging by the look on Phantom’s face, he was thinking something very similar. There was a noise from further in the cell, though, and his body language shifted, his eyes lighting up with a touch of fear as he squared his shoulders as much as he could square them. “We’re not alone,” he warned Shouto.

Shouto raised his eyebrows, turning his attention to the depths of the cell.

“What’s this?” a voice rasped, from deeper in the cell, darker, the part covered in the most shadows. Phantom flinched at the sound of it, and there was a rattle, a clink, and Shouto realized that the third member of their company was more heavily chained than them. A moment later, and the second realization hit—that meant something. “A new person to join us in suffering?”

Another shuffle, another clink, and the owner of the voice finally stepped into the little bit of light coming through the window on the door. The light caught the edge of his hair, so dark it almost looked black, but Shouto knew better. He knew better.

The blue-haired boy pauses, studies his hand uncertainly before shrugging. “Shirakumo Oboro,” he introduces in return, hand phasing right through Izuku’s when he goes to return the handshake. Shirakumo doesn’t seem surprised by it, but Izuku whips his hand back when the intense chill climbs up his arm.

or,

Izuku tries to pretend eveything is okay even though his homelife is crumbling around him, there’s an insanely powerful Quirk that’s not entirely his coursing through his veins, he suddenly knows his childhood hero, All Might, and to top it all off, he seems to have befriend a pastel blue-haired ghost that has way too much insider knowledge on Izuku’s new homeroom teacher, and English teacher. He’s really just trying to survive Yuuei… Title: The Mask of the Demon King Author: katydid Pairing: Midoriya Inko/Sensei | All For One Rating: General Audiences Word Count: 3816 Summary: All Might meets Izuku Midoriya’s father at a parent-teacher conference.

Title: Farsia Petunia - stand pose

In the original Gundam AGE Anime, the Farsia doesn't do anything from every part of the mecha, it only stand straight like a brick.🤔 Although there's a pilot inside named Yurin L'Ciel, but it was controlled by Desil Galette, using his own X-Rounder ability. 🧠🤖

But in "Cuteness Defender Academy", all members suit up and ready to battle with decent moves (, unless if you're wear a bulky armor, sometimes you're unable to move). Like this one, Farsia Petunia 🌸🦨 doing a glamorous pose with her three flower funnels launched from her backpack at space. 😁🤖

BTW: She'll meet her, very soon with her armor's entire description. 😉

That pose was actually came from this image → [CLICK ME!].

I’ve been wondering recently about how people find fanfics. so i’m going around asking some of my favourite authors: what is your preferred way of finding new fics to read?

Do you find them from recommendations, whether that be from friends or social media and who do you find gives the best recs? Do you just read the works of some of your favourite authors? What about their bookmark lists? Do you go searching by looking at all the works under your favourite tags and if so, what are they?

I actually have a lot of feelings about searching for fics because people on TikTok have, in a way, ruined the fanfiction experience for a lot of people so I’m using this as an excuse to be blunt about those opinions & they are not targeted at one human being they are simply a comment on the culture of fandom right now.

ALSO DISCLAIMER this individual tumblr user is one of the good ones I’m assuming so we are having this tea party together & anyone who disagrees comes to me because I am the host. Okay moving on,

We’re not meant to rely on other people for recs.

We’re not supposed to have “popular” fics

And for the love of god, stop complaining there’s no fics you like, ranking fics, rating fics, making videos about your opinions on fics, and complaining about fics in comment sections. You’re not cute, you’re not funny, you’re not coming across as smart, or cultured, or intelligent. You look like an asshole. You are one of those people with big trucks who everyone rolls their eyes at. You have a small dick and are showing it off to the world. Nobody wants to see that. Stop sending unsolicited dick picks of opinions.

I do get fic recommendations from friends because that’s a perk of having friends in fandom, and I do post about the fics I love because I love them, and they’re also usually my friends works so I want to support them and show them all the love in the world. But more and more I’ve seen this culture of complaining “there’s no fics about ____” or treating fics like they’re this thing created specifically for the readers. Like, Buddy this is the fucking woods. Why do you want the little animals to make you a plate of food like this is a fucking fairytale. Find a river. Find some mushrooms that won’t kill you. It’s every bitch for themselves unless you find a community that shares your values.

Like, did you actually go to ao3, use that tag system, use your own detective skills, and not find them?

If so, then the only option you have is write it so stop complaining to other people and for the love of god don’t you dare ask a writer to write your idea for you. That random tumblr user does not work for you. They don’t write for other people. They’re just a silly little guy, stop asking them for things in their own home.

If you haven’t searched for those fics yourself, and you constantly require people to deliver those recs to your doorstep then you my friend are exactly what I fear about the world. Y’all are getting way to used to algorithms for my liking & have stopped understanding that you are the one in charge of your social media experience. You are an individual. Act like it.

Um anyways I think there’s a lot of newer fandom people who are whiny little bitches who don’t understand the days where you would have to search on your silly little computer and maybe halfway through the fic fanfic.net would just mass delete works and you would just go on with your life like a normal human person.

Fanfiction is a privilege not a right, and some people do not understand that.

#sorry random human I really had to get that rant out #and you asked questions pertaining to that rant #so let this be lesson time witn Arik #fandom culture #some of you wouldn’t survive the 2010s of fandom and it shows

How Dhar Mann Doesn’t Get Anime Fans (Analyzing Mean Girls Shame Teen For Anime)

(Recommended by @womanofwords)

I will be honest with this one. I am not big on anime. I watched Pretty Cure, I watched Madoka Magica awhile back (Which I LOVE) And I watched 90s Sailor Moon when I was twelve. I did not like it.

Other than that, I am not huge on the shows. In fact I wasn’t really planning on covering this post, but since you guys insisted.

I don’t even understand why Dhar Mann finds ANIME to be a topic worth discussing. Anime doesn’t change lives, it’s a media people like. A LOT of people like by the way, so bullying someone about liking anime kind of sounds stupid. But I guess Dhar Mann just runs out of ideas for bullying videos.

Advice Dhar: Maybe don’t make bullying videos if you have no more ideas. Make something else, a story about someone going through life, or caring for someone, or something positive. I’m not saying never make bullying videos again, just take a break from them if you need to.

I’m addressing the video and what I find AS I’m watching them, so if this seems more discovery writing to you guys, that’s why.

Right off the bat, I can’t believe I never addressed this before, even though I figured it out a long time ago:

Nearly EVERY video, there’s an excuse for the adults to not be a scene so that the bullies can get away with being bullies. What is that?

A PHONECALL.

EVERY time, the adult has a phone call, they have to step out, and therefore, the bully can bully in peace.

Because we can’t have the adults in the room, then they would be able to stop the bullying from happening, cause I guess other students aren’t capable of telling the adults anything.

I can excuse it if it was a one time thing, but ALL THE TIME? It gets ridiculous.

“I need to step out for a minute. Finish your worksheets and I’ll be right back.”

MY impression of it: “Nobody is calling me, I just want to get a latte and leave work early.”

(That would at least give the cliché PERSONALITY)

It’s also not realistic in a school setting. In a work environment, maybe, but teachers would often just make the phone calls in class, cause they need to watch over their kids and they can’t leave. Maybe that’s just my experience, but just something I’d bring up.

I didn’t make this a heading because it’s not necessarily a ‘bad message’, just there. Thought I’d point it out.

Like, “OOH, taking a phone call is a bad message! How dare you teach this to kids!”

No, I’m fine with it, it’s just dumb writing.

So moving on to the actual plot, I thought it’d be ‘anime girl gets bullied’ but no. It’s actually more than that!

1: Drawing people without permission

Don’t do this. I already said this in a previous post.

“Also, drawing your crush on paper isn’t cute. It’s creepy. Keep in mind that’s ENTIRELY my opinion, but I find that creepy. Unless you have a partner, and they’re okay with you drawing them, DON’T DO THIS.”

“I agree with the bullies here, the nerd girl is a CREEP.”

This isn’t okay. Drawing people with no permission is just creepy. I get she didn’t WANT anyone to see it, but it’s still wrong if you ask me. And ever since the post where I said that, I’ve seen a few people agree with me.

Draw a fictional character? That’s okay. They’re fictional.

Draw an animal? Also okay. Kind of cute actually.

Draw a REAL LIFE PERSON?

You see where I’m going with this?

This isn’t even about anime, this is a girl (poorly) calling out a stalker.

“Hey Chase, looks like you got yourself a little stalker.”

I agree bully character. You could have been nicer about it, but you are in the right to tell him so he can call her out! Or at least, have him talk to her on whether or not he’s okay with her drawing him.

(She didn’t even draw it like this Chase character. That doesn’t look anything like him, like the bullies say)

For real, if this girl didn��t want to be outed on her crush, DON’T BRING THE NOTEBOOK TO SCHOOL

Boom, problem solved!

So moving on with the plot, the girl makes the excuse that it’s for a project. An anime series contest where the prize is a lot of money. (Of course there is)

And blah blah blah, bully bullies and says she’ll never win cause her drawing methods ARE IMPERSONATING PEOPLE WITH NO PERMISSION.

Is anime girl at least gonna be called out for this and find a different method to do her series?

NOPE.

She’s deemed as completely RIGHT to do this!

(Okay, NOW I see why you guys wanted me to address this video)

I can actually speak from experience at least in drawing in general. I do a lot of writing, I draw a lot of my characters. Sometimes I do fanfics (Currently doing a Pretty Sure fanseries, which is anime, and two Total Drama fics on Ao3, one is a Danganronpa crossover, the other is a rewrite of Season 2. My username there is ‘AnalyzGolden’ if you want to check those out.)

I never drew real people. I never had major crushes in school. I was, (and still am to be honest) a pretty introverted person. I get heavily stressed out in classes from the number of people there, and I was treated like some Wierdo imbecil sometimes. To be fair, they were kinda right, I tend to laugh or cry for no apparent reason (Autism), and I’m into stuff a lot of people aren’t.

It wasn’t until high school where I fell in love with someone specific, and we have a great relationship currently. I’m actually pretty sexually repulsed by a lot of guys who flirted with me, and I had no problem turning them down right in front of hundreds of people. That warranted a lot of bullying cause... LGBTphobia I guess.

But that’s where it ended for me in the drawing department. Being unable to relate to my classmates. Nobody cared that I was drawing, they just minded their own business. Nobody wanted to END MY WORK.

But that’s what the bullies in this video want to do, as though exploiting a stalker wasn’t enough. Why do these bullies want to ruin a girl’s anime dreams when she did nothing to them?

No idea. It’s a Dhar Mann video. Shut up and consume the drama.

2: Do NOTHING When Bullying Is Happening

Why are these cafeteria extras not doing anything as well? When there’s BLATANT bullying happening.

Now fun story, (Or bad memory for me) one time at lunch, a teacher was bullying a kid in the middle of his lunch for some sort of ‘bad’ behavior, like talking to friends during class (It was stupid). They claimed he wasn’t allowed to talk to ANYONE at lunch AT ALL as punishment.

I felt pitty for him, but it was written all over my face.

I got DETENTION, because I LOOKED at that with PITY.

I didn’t even say anything, I just saw it, and I got screamed at for seeing it. Not kidding.

I believed I was in the wrong to see pity in ‘bad students’ for a long time, until midway through my high school years, where I FINALLY opened my eyes and saw how messed up things were. If anything, I look back at that memory now, and say to myself, ‘I should have gotten up, and DID SOMETHING about it.’

That’s a moral I have for all of you: If you see anything you feel is unfair, DO SOMETHING. People’s minds will not be changed if you just sit there and stare.

(I mean, okay, one extra in this scene does say something, but the bully tells them to stay out of it, and they do)

3: Villainizing Real People Is Great. It’s Just Fiction, So No Harm Can Be Done

THIS NEEDS TO BE CALLED OUT.

This anime girl is IN THE WRONG HERE.

She’s VILLAINIZING a REAL PERSON, for her anime series, just because she doesn’t like her!

THIS IS WRONG.

Now, if it was someone like Hitler, I get it. But other than that, villainizing someone using media in the publics eye, and giving them zero sense of grey area or addressing they are people, is WRONG TO DO.

Now, people DO fall into doing this several times. Heck, I fell into this.

I had a REALLY toxic friend for most of my school life. Wouldn’t let me hang out with other people, would curse all the time, would force me to hang out with them all the time, would make me do all the things they liked when I didn’t. And they ALSO would steal my work and show them to people against my consent!

See, I CAN relate to the video!

Trust me when I say, when I found success in a writing project, similarly to the one in the video, that friend made me suffer.

It was a writing project we had to do in middle school, and present it to the whole class. I was last, and then the entire school said ‘put this one on a podium! You deserve rewards!’

Then when I thought I would be thrilled about it, that ‘friend’ put me in a stranglehold, just to tell me I cheated and that I didn’t deserve it. That I was a bad person, and that my work was harmful.

No one else saw that. They loved it. But because I was attached to that friend, I believed every word, and I felt guilty about my entire project. Even when I got a shiny ribbon for it, I was so ashamed of it that I threw it away.

That’s what this kind of bullying does to people, and it’s not what the video is portraying. If anything, they’re making the bully look like a saint. And that gives me a lot of bad memories.

I also made that friend my VILLAIN in a video game. I told them, and they loved it, but that did have an affect on them later where they just... ended up in ALL the wrong places in life.

I was lucky enough to stop being friends with her before I could fall there too.

So a good message would be to NOT DO THAT and see people for people.

Instead, Dhar Mann is being irresponsible of feelings and playing it off as a joke. In fact, not even a joke, a THOUSAND DOLLAR WORTHY ACTION.

And what’s the girl’s excuse?

“My series needed a villain.”

Yeah...

You’re still wrong.

“Serves you right for drawing people without their permission.”

AGAIN, THIS IS A CORRECT RESPONSE.

The ACTION was over the top, Heather could have handled that better, but SHE HAS A GOOD REASON.

I don’t feel bad for the anime girl AT ALL. I’m ROUTING FOR THE BULLY.

I SHOULDN’T BE ROUTING FOR ART BEING DESTROYED.

Why are the cafeteria people only NOW doing something and comforting the anime girl? Let alone saying “You didn’t deserve that”?

4: Bullying Videos Are Funny

Oh yeah, and THE WHOLE SCHOOL finds the bullying funny, because in Dhar Mann videos, MEAN SPIRITED BEHAVIOR IS FUNNY.

AND IF EVERYONE FINDS IT FUNNY, IT MAKES THE ENTIRE WORLD LOOK MEAN SPIRITED, WHICH IS NOT TRUE.

Have you ever thought that MAYBE people have common sense Dhar Mann?

WHO is laughing at a blatant bullying video?

I can get behind one or two people who were friends with the bully, I’ve seen that happen before, BUT AN ENTIRE SCHOOL?

LET ALONE that a video like THAT can get OVER A MLLION VIEWS?

(NO ONE gets 30,000 followers in a day. NO ONE

(Bruh, my max views so far has been 2000)

I’m just concerned on how many people are going to misinterpret that and see that this is normal behavior, and they should do it as well.

Again, I wouldn’t mind if it got explained or called out in an interesting way, but it’s not. So the bad writing overshadows the message here, and makes it look like laughing at a bullying video is normal.

Also “Is it the Heather girl?”

That line is funny to me.

WHY is it that EVERY mean girl in media is named Heather? First Total Drama, then Heathers, now this.

I’m okay with the message that ‘Being different is what makes you special.’

IF IT WAS WRITTEN IN BETTER CONTEXT.

Trust me, I’m different, I’ve been told I was special for that. Someone came up to me this very day, and said I was their favorite person in the room. I had a bad day, but still, that’s a plus.

5: Don’t Report Bullying To The Authorities

If your kid is being bullied, in ANY WAY, or are emotionally hurt, you as a parent, TELL THE AUTHORITIES. NO MATTER WHAT THE KID SAYS. They need the help and support, and need to go to adults that will help them with the situation.

I was okay with the mom and supporting her kid so much until that point. She doesn’t need to make a deal with her kid, she should go out that car door and tell the principal, and NOT hear her kid’s protests.

I know I said ‘listen to your child’ but in this context? It’s HELPING them.

That’s brief, but still something to say.

6: Fiction Can Become Extremely Successful In A Day

Not possible. Especially with no marketing.

SUCCESS TAKES TIME.

WRITING A BOOK TAKES TIME.

MAKING A MOVIE TAKES TIME.

EVEYRTHIN TAKES TIME.

Let alone being successful.

You know now much stuff has NOT been successful? And is left forgotten about in a slush pile? That NO ONE views?

Success is not guaranteed. Marketing helps your chances, but doesn’t guarantee success. It especially takes TIME to be successful.

Like I said, my most popular media out right now is a Total Drama Danganronpa fic, that only has nearly 2000 views right now. That’s VERY successful in my eyes, cause that’s the MOST success I’ve ever gotten so far.

And it TOOK TIME.

I began that back in APRIL.

So there’s my proof.

7: “Think of Heather as a demon”

Yes, think of a person as SATAN.

THAT’S HEALTHY.

NOT.

I’m not kidding, THAT IS AN ACTUAL LINE.

NO, DO NOT THINK OF PEOPLE AS DEMONS.

JUST IGNORE THEM, THAT’S ALL YOU GOTTA DO.

I’m sorry, but I have NO IDEA what kind of message Dhar Mann is sending here.

You should see people you don’t get along with as irredeemable monsters?

People are demons?

Only certain people are angels?

This bully is not a demon. She is a person.

And for THE MOM to ENCOURAGE DEMONIZING A TEENAGER?!

I mean, @frugalmoney also talked about that in their post on this video, links here if you guys want to check it out:

https://www.tumblr.com/blog/view/frugalmoney/692174846404296704?source=share

You can’t demonize people. Rather, you will, that’s human nature, but you need to learn to understand what people are going through.

I myself had to learn that lesson THE HARD WAY.

I saw people as demons. That got me a ton of bullying and hate. I had to be called out for me bossing people around that they are people going through a lot of stuff.

Now, in some cases, demon is an adjective that’s necessary, like with terrorists, criminals, those kinds of bad people, I understand that. BUT NOT IN THIS VIDEO’S CONTEXT.

I get what the mom is trying to say in that scene. “Obstacles happen, obstacles are what make for a great story, you’re gonna struggle” Blah blah blah. That stuff is fine. That ONE LINE though, changes it all. This mom is now saying, “Everyone is mean, slay them in your head and do your own thing.”

If that line DIDN’T EXIST, the scene would have a legit good message. Like, I would have no problems with the scene.

Oh yeah, and SNIPERWOLF is in this video!

For... LITERALLY NO REASON.

Seriously, you can remove her from the plot, and not much would change.

You can literally just have the mom’s speech be the girl’s influence to go to school, and progress the story from there.

Now, to be clear, I DON’T watch SniperWolf’s videos. I’m not saying they’re bad, I’m sure they have really great content, but I’m not a viewer, and it just never clicked to me as something I need to see. And I’m sure Sniperwolf is a fine person in real life, (EDIT: Scratch that. I recently got proof from a follower that this statement is strongly false), so I do not want that to sound offensive in any way.

But I am aware of the videos she HAS appeared in. The Gamer Girl two parter, and the Janitor video, I’ve seen those.

In my personal opinion, she’s not a good actor? Like at all. Sorry, but you can easily tell she’s reading the script from on a computer screen or behind camera when she’s acting, and it’s distracting. (You can literally see from her glasses that she’s reading the script)

Maybe I’m being harsh because I DO take acting classes, but it’s just something I’d point out. On top of that, her only reason for being here is to advertise for her videos. With the exception of the Gamer Girl two parter, where she was the mentor, SniperWolf can be removed from the videos, and nothing changes.

She is literally there just for advertisement.

Now, I’m aware how much she supports Dhar Mann and that she reacts to his videos. And if she’s happy, good for her.

“Being different is what makes you cool.”

Previously: “Being different is what makes you special.”

She didn’t even get the line right tho...

So blah blah SniperWolf goes to school with the student, and now EVERYONE loves the student because someone famous is with them. NOTHING that has to do with them as a person.

(Now, why does that sound familiar to a previous Dhar Mann vid...?)

Has Dhar Mann ever been to school? This isn’t allowed.

It also sends another bad message that you have to reach out to famous people to get people to like you. Not true. It’s just cheap. And also exploits

8: Fame is Everything

A bunch of doctors, therapists, a ton of folks, have addressed that fame and having followers WILL NOT make you happy. They will not fulfill you.

You could have a million followers, and not be happy.

Doctor Mike actually reacted to Dhar Mann videos and said this very thing.

This goes for a lot of videos as well that Dhar Mann makes. He frames it as though having followers on social media is the Ultimate Happiness. That THIS is how you will have a happy life. And having like, 41 followers is a BAD THING. (I have 41 followers, It’s not a bad thing at all. I’m proud of it)

It’s gross if you ask me. Maybe there’d be a Dhar Mann video where the idea of followers making you happy gets called out, but nope.

Closest to that I’ve seen was in a Mikey video where he faked a disability to get a million followers, and his punishment there was that ALL those followers hated him and told him to give up and quit. (This was deemed as something he deserved, and that everyone’s in the right to be trash to him on social media).

If SniperWolf never showed up to the plot, these kids would NOT be interested in the anime girl at all.

If anything, removing SniperWolf from the plot ENTIRELY would make the story BETTER, because THEN the kids would be impressed by the anime girl by her OWN merits.

Oh yeah, and the anime girl gets the boy she stalked on. But like, who cares?

Dhar Mann also encourages kids to watch ‘Bleach’

Reminder: ‘Bleach’ is rated MATURE.

“While it's more like a traditional cartoon than some of the other, darker Adult Swim offerings, BLEACH is clearly geared toward mature audiences, and some scenes and themes will likely give families pause.” -Commonsensemedia

(They didn’t even get the character design that the guy is cosplaying as right)

You could have picked Dragon Ball, or something more kid friendly, but NOPE.

And also the anime girl gets everything she wants, bully girl gets left in the dust and has to go to her for help years later. (Remember kids, your bullies will only resort to your SERVANTS in the future)

Honestly, I never would have watched this video if it weren’t for your recommendations. I ended up having A LOT more to talk about than I initiated.

Like, THANK YOU for bringing this video to my attention.

I didn’t think much of it from the title, wondered why everyone wanted me to review it, and after watching it, I understand. There was a ton of bad messages here.

Now I might be rambling in this, and that’s mainly cause I had a no good day. Anxiety problems. I get heavily stressed from being given too much and poorly instructed work. But thankfully I had some kind people there to help me through it.

That also goes to all of you who supported me through this. I get bashed extremely hard on Youtube, (I legit got called a KAREN recently) so it’s nice to have a site where followers get my POV.

And that’s all I have for you guys, have a great rest of your day.
