#which i hope it is that because. and understand i am biased. but i'd love that direction for Kevin

Sonadow, Sonamy...

OK so we all know that there's a civil mid-joke war inside the Sonic Fandom about preferences between Sonadow and Sonamy, right?

And yeah I don't care barely at all about ships or ship wars and stuff, and everyone can have their opinion! But as someone who loves to relate the lore to everything because autism I really like analyzing things and it helps me understand everything better, I thought to maybe give all the canon/non-emotions related stuff to explain how these relationships, friends or something more (spoiler alert, something more does not exist in canon), work inside canon and how they would work in the far future.

REMINDER THAT THIS WILL NOT SIDE WITH EITHER SIDE MUCH UNTIL THE END ("In my humble opinion..." part)

THERE'S ALSO AN ANALYSIS! But at the end, since it's more of a personal analysis that is not fully factual, just a study of the characters.

Yeah so here it goes...

(Everything with a "*" means that it will be explained at the end with the more "sonic" stuff, less related to the ship.)

Sonamy

Realistically, Amy was created to be more of "just an addition to the Sonic team" with more female representation. She started off as just Sonic's girlfriend or love interest, even though he never showed as much interest for her as she did for him. In short, her interest in him did show since she made her first appearance, clearly showing that that would be the main or most shown romantic relationship in the franchise.

At the beginning, she was completely a Sonic fangirl and had much interest in him, specifically shown in shows or some comics... but as they realized the potential of the character, they stopped making her whole reason to be there sonic, changing it slightly, but still firing the character. This also meant that they stopped making her be "madly in love" or that interested in sonic, who was never interested in the first place. This, outside of the franchise is clearly the creators noticing the potential of a character with a heart as big as Amy's, but inside of the franchise it was probably her maturing (going from typical teenage romance-obsessed phase to just a normal crush), which was (ok this one thing is my opinion, yeah...) a big improvement to the character, to give her a story, more personality...

Now, about the ship itself... Sonamy has always been one-sided, or at least in most cases. And this had been stated and was seen clearly throughout the franchise (ok realistically I did not watch sonic boom but that one is not really canon in the main story which is the one that I am talking about). At first, maybe it was not shown in a very modern or uh... less obvious way... but listen the 90's are the 90's ok. but they showed it nonetheless. So, respectfully, Sonamy has not been canon from both sides clearly in most of the canon storyline.

Sorry Sonamy shippers...

(further study of this ship is after Sonadow, but that is a more personal review so I understand if you are not so interested)

(I'd add a single picture of these two but all I can find is FANART...)

Sonadow

So yeah I think we can all accept that no matter how gay it looks we have no proof that they are canon with facts and from a less biased point of view...

We have Sonic's line "I heart you too, Shadow" hope that's enough to feed ya xd

Nah but seriously there is an analysis to these two, it's just not that based in facts and hints like Sonamy had.

The analysis...

Now that the factual part has been explained, let's see this from a more Sonic POV, okay?

Sonic

Sonic is a character that likes to do everything, achieve everything, and be the fastest. His quote is quite literally "Gotta go fast". Of course, in a relationship, he would, not only be interested in, but also need, someone who can "keep up", as toxic as that sounds. He does not really need someone as fast as him, just someone that he can trust to be there by his side at every fight (or most of them), someone who will be at his level enough to fight by his side, otherwise it would be too dangerous. Something else that I've noticed is that the ones he is closest with, or has shown more attachment towards, are also people that can keep him with his feet on the ground, people that know when and how to say "You are not going to do this" and convince him, or, people to just keep him company and remind him who he is when he forgets (and, hey, it's Sonic, he also likes to have a few laughs).

As coincidental as that sounds, being able to both keep up and slow him down are traits that both characters mentioned earlier fulfil (yeah maybe Shadow more specifically... but shut up this is also supportive for Sonamy shippers ok LET THEM BE HAPPY LET THEM ALL BE HAPPY)

In any case, Sonic is a free-spirited supersonic hedgehog that will go wherever he wants whenever he wants, he helps people that are in trouble if he has the chance, and will fight and laugh alongside people who were once, currently are, or have tried to keep up. But being in a relationship itself is more effort than occasional visits, and Sonic knows that; he will be in a relationship with someone that can "keep up" and stand by him for the good of both of them. Obviously, he will also give, put in the effort to make the relationship work, but he knows who, when he gives 50, can give back 50, and those are people that will keep up with his adventures.

In my opinion... (the logic of the analysis applied to my train of thought, this is more biased from now on)

Sonamy

I understand why people see these two as a cute couple. Honestly, it makes sense. She does fulfil most of the traits and he does fulfil many of her expectations, from what I have seen of her...

But it's the keeping up part. Amy is a kind, warm hedgehog who loves nature and loves protecting nature. I have always had the feeling that, at some point (when she's a young adult probably), she would get a small house, near a natural area, where all her friends are, and stay there to protect them in that area. She would stay in one place that would fully grow on her and she would spend all her life there, protecting what she wishes to fight for and taking care of nature, as well as some visits every now and then to her friends if they are far away.

Sonic does not seem to like physical affection too much, except for certain moments with certain people, and the way Amy keeps asking for affection might make him uncomfortable or even bore him most of the time. In a relationship? It might just bore Sonic too much, and Amy would not change to much anyway...

I have never been a fan of the concept of a one-sided ship, due to how toxic it can be. But there is something about the way that Amy, even with her crush, respects Sonic's boundaries, that makes me feel like this is the one single one-sided ship I find interesting and perfect as it is. Sonic is not uncomfortable with her, on the contrary, he enjoys spending time with her a lot, but when she goes to a more romantic mode, he does seem more uncomfortable in most cases.

Plus... this one small part is way more of a personal opinion, but Amy staying single and possibly being a single mother feels very in-character and sweet.

Sonadow

Shadow. As cryptic as he chooses to be at times, he has shown that he cares about Sonic before, which for the character, someone who lost everything in a person who meant the universe to him, is quite a lot. He has been open- or as open as he can be- with Sonic before, which clearly makes their friendship-rivalry slightly more different that his relationship with other people. Shadow's only "problem" is that at times he cannot express himself well.

They respect each other, even if they don't always show it. They care about each other, and even admire some actions the other does. Their rivalry is not toxic, it's just competitive.

Shadow does have the traits that Sonic would be most interested in, like Amy, but in his case, he is less feeling, but he can definitely keep up and even slow Sonic down. He has followed him when he thought he could put the world or himself in dagger multiple times, but he has not shown that well his ability to encourage Sonic (yeah no he has his own way with words and that way is not saying anything, much less to someone with Sonic's high self-esteem)

Sonic loves excitement and enjoying life to the last minute, doing everything that might sound extreme just for fun. He has always admired Shadow's power and angry determination, and found him and his powers amazing, even if he won't admit it. Shadow doesn't mind living extreme situations at all, apparently even enjoying certain activities that involve the excitement of a battle of any kind. Sonic finds that part of Shadow fun to mess with, and Shadow either doesn't care or is barely angry, but actually, in a way, enjoys having someone to fight or just spend time with that won't push any emotional talk or physical signs of affection too much.

Apart from that, my pov again for the future, both of them could make great parents, and their relationship in a family could be interesting since they already act like a married couple xd but then again, Sonic does not seem like the kind of person who will just have a kid unless something "eye-opening" or lifechanging happens to him.

Conclusion

But then again this is just an analysis that would be in case he would settle with either of them for life, so it might not be the best if we are just keeping them with their current age or a bit older xd

Plus, this is more related to their personalities, facts and lore... since I'm not the most adequate to judge how romantic and other kinds of attraction work haha (aroace nation rISE)

Also, as un-biased as this is, this still has a bit of personal opinion, so don't take it too canon and stuff

And remember everyone had the right to have their own opinions, even if we don't like them. Respect everyone and their opinions! They aren't hurting anyone anyway, right? (unless it's something highly immoral or just straight up not legal worldwide)

So yeah, at the end of the day, it doesn't matter if you ship Sonamy, Sonadow or something else, we're all just having fun after all, and if you insult people's opinion you're just being the angry bully in the playground who steals toys and breaks them because it's fun for them, a bitch.

Sonic's got 2 hands after all, ammaright

[mudstoneabyss]

actually. the specific phrasing that boy Kevin wants to kill older Kevin with "I must disassemble him, piece by piece, so that everything inside of the Old Kevin comes out. Only then can the New Kevin truly begin." is so incredibly the idea that to heal from trauma and "improve" you have to destroy every "wrong" part of yourself, that everything "tainted" by it has to somehow be replaced by something untouched (which isn't possible)

#reading back that phrasing I do think that'll be the way brinknor takes it #this arcs seeming like it'll be so. breaking the cycle of abuse and violence and coming to terms with yourself #and maybe understanding that you can never remove the parts of you impacted by trauma and start again completely ''pure'' #but you can treat yourself with the kindness you should've been given #which i hope it is that because. and understand i am biased. but i'd love that direction for Kevin #it feels much more satisfying than any more. angsty way this arc could go imo #like he's been through enough! #because of the way Kevin is portrayed in fanon. not as frequently anymore but still pretty common. I worry about coming off as woobifying #by saying I want him to heal I want him to have nice things I think he deserves them #when he's also simultaneously Not A Good Person #yknow the poor little innocent cinnamon roll baby etc etc fanon #but. well for one im Not Like That about him. but my main point of bringing that up is. him not being a good person is why I want to see hi #get better and generally have a good life. why does someone have to be good to deserve to heal from trauma #especially when trauma is a big reason for the way they are #like its fiction yeah yeah i'm still tired of mentally ill people having to be ''good'' to ''deserve'' to get better yknow #i mean especially in fiction you tend to either see mental illness as the poor traumatized one who's allowed recovery because they're nice #or the insane psychopath who cant be ''fixed'' so ''deserves'' bad things-up to deserving to die!- for it #i didnt mean for this to be a rant erm. oops #wtnv #wtnv spoilers #joyousposting

[thebroccolination]

Im the anon from yesterday who asked about your favourite win x team scene :)

Your favourite kiss scene?

Your favourite cuddly scene?

Your favourite romantic scene?

Your favourite “tease” scene?

I like to know peoples opinions so i hope this isn’t too hard for you to answer :)

Hello, Anon! Sorry for the delay! I wanted time to collect screencaps and the energy to write a lot of feelings. <3

This is a beautiful ask. A phenomenal ask. I applaud this ask.

LET'S BEGIN.

• FAVORITE KISS SCENE

I genuinely can't choose between two of them. From the same episode.

FIRST UP:

Team's heel is the star of this shot. Prem is a genius. Even if he didn't do it on purpose, his subconscious is a genius. I know some people didn't like this wide shot and wanted to stay rammed up on their faces, which I totally understand, but I love the wide shot because it introduced me to my good friend Team's Popped Heel.

ALSO.

FUCK?

The panting as they change angles? GEE. ZUSS.

Okay, fine, this one is my favorite. Like, holy shit, to bring this out in episode two was brilliant. There's no, like, "Team was so shaken by his first time, he doesn't know what he really wants." Nope. This is clear attraction.

(The BU specials honestly worried me when I first saw them in 2021 because of how hard they leaned into the weird heteronormative Nooooo I Don't Want to Have Sex with You for I Am and Have a Pure and Chaste Bottom angle, so watching this kiss at, like, 2am while I was in Japan for work reassured me that they weren't going to show Win as, like, some predatory bisexual and Team as stereotypically reluctant. Team's just as into Win.)

That kiss is legendary. They just look like they'll die if they don't make out next to the pool on camera. (Moment of silence for Dean.)

BUT I ALSO WANT TO TALK ABOUT THIS KISS:

Not just "the locker room scene kiss" because 1) they kiss a lot while they're back there, and 2) this one specifically. Look at Team! You can't see his lips (because Win is on them) but you can tell that he's smiling.

And whyyy?

'Cos Win's a menace. <3

I love this whole scene because it doesn't exist in the novel! After their one-night stand in the novel, WinTeam don't kiss again until much, much later. Including this scene really establishes the nature of their physical relationship that, for me, made the upcoming struggle between True Intimacy and Casual Sex all the more turbulent and realistic.

I mean, you've got Team biting his lip, the wrist-pinning, the panting. They're viscerally attracted to each other. This isn't just Win pursuing Team like he does in the last scene of episode one; this establishes interest from both of them. Team followed him in episode one, but he didn't give it much thought there. And he looks kind of like, "……Well, fuck it, I guess."

In episode two, he thinks about it much longer, and his expression is

much more determined. He wasn't caught off-guard this time. Win asked for consent, he got it, they kissed, and then Win gave him space to decide if he wanted more. Team could have easily left! He already had his backpack, and he had his own car to get home.

Win, my Green Flag Son. <3

I think this was one of the more challenging scenes for Prem based on comments he made early in filming, and I can honestly see why. Kisses are difficult to film. You have to think about technical aspects like what the camera can see while balancing the authenticity of what you're doing, and you're working with another person, so even if you're doing fine, your partner might not be. Like, I'm obviously biased toward WinTeam and BounPrem, but I genuinely think this episode has the most realistic kissing I've seen in any series. Because they both look starving for it. They don't just mash their mouths together and wait for the scene to cut. The heavy breathing, where they're looking, all the little details create a really nuanced atmosphere to the scene.

I don't know that I'd call New a great director from an audience's perspective (especially if he was the one in the editing room for this series), but he's undeniably fantastic with actors. Filming a scene with this much raw honesty and physical passion could have been wildly awkward, but Boun and Prem are both visibly comfortable and that allows them to show the best of their abilities. Award-winning kiss, mwah.

• FAVORITE CUDDLY SCENE

OKAY SO. There are so many? SO MANY OF THEM in Between Us. And I'm very grateful for that because cuddling is my favorite. So it might be surprising that in the vast array of options I picked something so quick, but it's this:

It's only seconds long, but there's something especially soft about WinTeam asleep together on Valentine's Day. Win's arm around Team all bundled up because Team runs cold, Team tucked into Win's side, the two of them all peaceful before Tul ruins their night. :'(

Also, like, poor View. Win probably called him like, "Go next door, our brother is unconscious," and View just like, "How…did you know? HIA, ARE YOU PSYCHIC."

Like, it's the implication that this is their new normal. They know what they are to each other now, and they're happy and safe with each other. I'm going to cry I love them so much.

• FAVORITE ROMANTIC SCENE

Maybe it's an odd choice for this category but honestly, this scene:

For multiple reasons!

Because I think it's the first time Win actually decides to rely on Team, which is something Team's made clear that he wants.

Because I think it's the first time they're acting as true equals on an emotional level. Team wants to know Win better than anyone, and this is Win letting him see what he hides from literally everyone else in his life.

And I think my definition of romantic has changed as I've gotten older, but to me there's nothing more romantic than trusting your moments of fragility and vulnerability to someone.

• FAVORITE "TEASE" SCENE

Hands down this one:

Because as much as I love cuddly, sweet WinTeam, at their core they're a feral pair of loud dumbasses. <3

Re: cycle of violence and red wedding 2.0

I'm partial to the idea that arya will be the one who ends the LSH reign of terror on the riverlands. Do you have any thoughts on this?

This is such a tough question because imo there are so many people for whom killing Stoneheart would be narratively satisfying. I'll give you my thoughts on Arya first but I'll confess in advance that my opinion is 100% biased because I have my own pick for who I'd rather see do it.

The part I very much like about the Arya idea is how the two of them are mirroring each other's quest for vengeance, and how Arya deciding to kill LSH would symbolically mean she's killing the desire for revenge within herself after seeing what a monster that makes someone.

There are parts I don't like about it though. Selfishly, I don't want Arya to see her mother like that. Arya has that heartbreaking line about wondering whether her mother would still love her after what she's done, and I want Arya to remember her mother as Cat, who would love her, and not as LSH, who might be incapable of love. Arya meeting LSH now might affirm Arya's fears: she returns to her mother, and there's only death and the wedge that revenge drove between them. I see the poetry, but... I don't want it for her.

Part of me also thinks: Arya shouldn't quell her quest for revenge by killing something, let alone her mother, even if she is a murder zombie now. I know Arya's being trained as a killer, and I'm sure those are skills that will serve her in the future (else what's the point), but when it comes to her relationship with vengeance, I think that the turning point should be a moment where she recognizes the possibility of hope and rebirth, (the ghost of christmas present) rather than the doom of her future should she continue her quest for vengeance (the ghost of christmas future). Now that I've made the Dickens comparison, though, maybe she does need both.

I wouldn't dislike the story if Arya did it, I think it really works, and I know if GRRM wrote it that way it would work even better than I'm imagining. But

Personally, I'm partial to the idea that it will be Brienne who kills LSH. I like that Brienne is so completely driven right now by her oath to Catelyn; Catelyn took her in and offered her a female role model that Brienne could integrate into her worldview: "You have courage. Not battle courage perhaps but . . . I don't know . . . a kind of woman's courage."

Brienne is so committed to this oath to return Cat's children that she spends the entirety of Feast on a doomed quest to achieve this goal, armed with the sword that was forged from Ned's, named Oathkeeper. But now, to save Jaime, who represents the chance at change, forgiveness, and redemption, (the polar opposites to Stoneheart's absolute vengeance) Brienne will kill her liege, the woman she personally swore her loyalty to in ACOK.

...And so Brienne will mirror Jaime the Kingslayer, the Oathbreaker, and fully understand what that meant, and what that feels like. With Ned's own steel, no less, because Ned would not have wanted what Cat became. (am I going overboard with that?)

I'm not exactly sure how the timing works out, because she can't kill LSH now before Stoneheart & the gang pull off the Red Wedding revenge plot. I have totally bought into the idea that Stoneheart etc. are going to turn Daven's wedding into a massacre, and I also fully expect it to be gruesome and not cathartic. I suspect that Jaime is integral to that plan, somehow, which is how Jaime survives so long and isn't immediately killed, but I don't know how they manage to get Jaime to aid them. He's having a change of heart, sure, but he's not going to roll over and let them kill his family, so maybe they have some more important leverage. Could even be Brienne, if they understand that bond, although I don't know how they would.

The way I see it working is that Jaime somehow abets Stoneheart carrying out the Red Wedding 2.0 plan, even though it costs him so much. Then, Stoneheart and the BWB move to kill Jaime afterward, anyway, despite it all. Then, seeing the horror of what LSH has become and done, Brienne kills LSH.

Then and her and Jaime kiss run away and live happily ever after back to Casterly Rock, just like in the weirwood dream he had.

Kind of a long-winded response, but those are my thoughts on the end of LSH.

[thetaekookcloset]

Hello! So I'm a little nervous about sending this in because I don't generally like using the anon option as I stand behind my opinions, but I also recongize that means I'm opening this up to all your followers, as a jikooker who runs a jikook focused blog myself. So I'm sending this in with respect and just as a "opinions from the other side" type of deal. And I hope that even though everyone who follows you won't agree with me, the respect and courtesy will be returned. Kindness costs nothing!

A few days ago you posted this ask and reposnse about GCF in Toyko. Both the anon sender and yourself mentioned not seeing GCFT as romantic or non plantonic or understanding necessarily why jikookers say what they say about it. You both did so fairly respectfully, which I fully appreciate. I'm not trying to change minds at all. I'm all good on disagreeing about viewpoints here. None of us know anything for sure and everyone bases their own opinions off their own life experiences and biases. We are all only guessing here. Lol just figured I'd try to answer the question over what "we" see in it. So apologies for all the explanations over why I am here, and for the essay in your ask box. I write long ass posts all the time on my own blog and it's just how I work now 😂 You don't have to feel obligated to post or respond to this either if you don't want to.

GCF in Toyko is not the make it or break it "piece of evidence" for jikookers in thinking that Jimin and Jungkook could be in a romantic relationship. It's just one in the many things that build on top of each other that is their bond that jkkrs see as likely being romantic in nature. Its one of the things that had many jkkrs, including myself, looking back on previous interactions and on future ones with perhaps a more questioning eye. It's also something that I've seen non armys and non jkkrs raise eyebrows over. I introduced my friend to BTS before and they watched Jungkook's GCFs with me (in order, all of them) before she even knew all their names (we were introducing her to the members one by one and JK caught her eye first so we watched his videos and music before the others) and she asked while watching "is the blonde in the video his boyfriend?" And I explained that it was actually Jimin, who was in the same band and as far as the fandom and we all know, no they are just best friends. And she said "well that's some friend then!" And we moved on to the next GCF in Osaka. Or how often i see clips of Jimin from GCFT in armys "pov: you are on a date with jimin" tweets. Lol But it does show that's its not always just the jkkr bias that makes us think the video has some romantic inclinations.

I have... a lot of posts on my own blog that talk about their Toyko Trip and GCFT as well too, but I'm not going to link them or anything because they are definitely written with the assumption that my views and guesses over their relationship is correct and they are boyfriends, which is not what I'm wanting to do here necessarily. But for a lot of jkkrs, the importance placed on the trip comes from the importance placed on it by Jimin and JK themselves. They talked about that trip constantly since it happened, even in interviews in 2020, as well as expressed interest in doing it again. It was how they went through that trip wearing matching fits on their personal time, went sightseeing and went to Disney and had a good time. How JK filmed a video about Toyko, but Jimin ended up being basically the only focus. The intentional choice of the song because he had to pay copyrights for it and the way he matched movements of the video to lyrics on the song, including during the lyrics "love is a road that goes both ways" with a cut scene of them driving down the road and you get flashes of both a rainbow lights ferris wheel and a regular one. Which felt fairly intentionally queer coded, in a video that starred Jimin that Jungkook made.

Jimin also had no idea that the video would even be made at all. So it gave the idea that the Jimin we were seeing, was the Jimin that Jungkook sees all the time. Goofy, happy, having fun, treated well, etc. All that, paired with the music, paired with how they talk about it, paired with how it was edited, paired with the trip itself, paired with JK surprising Jimin over it all, paired with JK telling us he used inspiration videos from a video editor YouTuber called "making a video for your boyfriend or girlfriend," gives off romance vibes (to me).

Your post also mentioned JK being camera shy during the trip, but I disagree. Being camera shy and preferring to be behind the camera don't have to be one in the same. JK made it into a few shots of the whole video, included starting it off with a shot of his feet on the airplane too. I think it just shows that for Jungkook, the point of the trip and the point of the video wasn't about him, or even about them, but about Jimin. Which also feels romantic to me.

You guys (you and anon) also mentioned how you can see two friends making the exact same type of video about a trip they took and were excited about. I disagree, but this could just be life experiences bias coming into play for all 3 of us. I think a good example that could show the difference in what I think would be a normal vlog video between a friend trip and a "could be something more" trip would be Jimin's toyko vlog that he shared. I did a post about the differences there too on my blog, but rather than get into ALL of that. I'll just highlight my points about how JMs video showed JK ALOT, so he wasn't camera shy, he just wasn't in his own video. Jimins video highlighted more of their activies done, them being goofy together, paired with fun music and cute transition slides. For me, this doesnt disprove a possible romantic relationship between them either, it just is what you would expect from a video about two best friends who went on a vacation together. JKs video was a totally different vibe all together. In my opinion. So the completely different vibe as well as everything else about the trip all put together made the video seem more than just plantonic.

https://youtu.be/5TbIyRhvIBQ

^ Jimins Toyko Vlog, with English Subtitles included for anyone who wants to see it if they perhaps haven't. And if you weren't in the fandom long, or aren't a Jimin bias, it doesn't get mentioned a lot. Lol plently of jkkrs also don't even know about it for a while! He posted it originally to Twitter in 2 parts, this army just combined them for us for convenience 💜

https://youtu.be/XrTNLkqGrlc

^ GCFT if I'm here linking things, JK always deserves more streams.

Lastly, his following GCFs were mentioned in your post as well and while all the members do feature in them, Jimin always appears to be highlighted in them. In Osaka, JK cuts the song out completely to highlight Jimins laughter 3 times. In Saipan, Jimin has not only the most screen time, but he also he paired Jimin with the same specific lyrics time and time again which were the more romantically inclined lines. In Helsinki, the colors changed from black to white when Jimin came on screen. Jimin is also the only member to appear in every single GCF video from his first to the last one we have so far. Jimin joking about being the model doesn't just come from no where. Lol but no jkkrs should be claiming (at least I'm not) that app GCFs are indicative of a romantic relationship between jikook or JK and any member. And one or more can be considered romantic while others aren't, or however anyone sees them. Not all GCFs are trying to give the exact same message. At least I personally didn't see them that way.

But again, I'm not here to try and argue really. Or change anyone's mind. I fully recongize how my biases can be influencing my opinions and vice versa for yall and every "shipper" as well. I dont mind if people disagree. I just saw the post and saw the confusion over how/why jkkrs see GCFT specifically in the way that they (we) do and figured I'd offer my perspective as a jkkr who is active in a blogger space. And I think I said all (probably more) that I can say over this topic in one ask. Lol so if you read all of this, thanks for taking the time to read an opinion that differs. Hope you all have a good week!

~ Storm

Hey Storm!

This is really interesting! I'm going to present it mostly without comment and treat it as basically a guest post from a differing perspective.

One thing I just want to clarify about my own feelings on GCFT specifically is that even though I don't really get romantic vibes from it myself, I do get why people see it that way. I get why it might be a big "maybe" moment for Jikookers, and I know that it has definitely piqued the curiosity of non-shippers too, and I understand why. I just don't see it as inherently romantic, or like something that can only be interpreted in a romantic way, and that's why there are plenty of people who come away from it without getting that impression too.  That being said though, I definitely see the argument.

I re-watched all of the GCFs after reading this and I definitely noticed some new-to-me things. It's so fascinating how we can watch the same material and take different interpretations and details away from it. If anyone hasn't watched the GCFs, or hasn't seen them recently but read through this whole post, I'd definitely recommend revisiting them.

Also, I'm sure it goes without saying, but please everyone be respectful. I'm glad that we can talk about differing opinions in this space, that's something that's valuable to me.

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective, Storm! You put a lot of work into this, and I really appreciate the clarity and attention to detail.  I hope you're doing well!

My favorite fic of yours - Hmm...ok. I kow you feel a way about Wenclair at the moment, but I do really love Fruit Stand AU. My favorite chapter in my favorite fic of yours - When the girls had the food fight in Fruit Stand AU A fic I haven't read yet from you, but I want to - I've been meaning to read the fic you wrote with @axolotlsupremacyowo Something I remember vividly from reading one of your fics - ...frog donuts lol What I like the most about your writing - I really like your style of dialogue. It flows really well and the banter is on point. A fic i'm excited for you updating/posting - I know you're working on something new right now, and I'm very curious to see how that's going to work out. A character/ship I didn't enjoy/think about as much before you wrote about them - Probably Wenclair, even though I'd seen the show before I read your fics, it didn't really register until I started talking to you more. Something I wish/hope you write - Fred and George shenanigans for sure XD A question I have about one of your fics - Will I be able to understand you Cait/Vi fics if I'm fandom blind?

Aww, thank you for the ask, Aunty Sliebman! I'll try to reply bit by bit!

Fruit Stand AU is one of the few fics that I can confidently say I'm proud of from start to finish. I really love all the story and little details I put into it, from simple description to cameos, I love it all! Just wish I could be completely content with it.

The food fight was one of my favorite scenes to right, and that's when I really had Wednesday start to break out of her shell. It was so much fun!

The SCP x Ace Attorney fic that Momo and I are writing together is definitely really cool despite the fact that I'm writing in two fandoms I don't really know that much about. It's just a fun project I get to do with my best friend, and that's more than enough for me (Though I should really get started on the next chapter.) Tagging @axolotlsupremacyowo cuz I'm not sure if tags in asks go through.

Frog donuts are adorable and I will never apologize for them XD

Dialogue is what I love writing the most. To me, dialogue really lets a character personality shine, from slang to pacing of a sentence, and internal monologue gives us a deeper look into who a character truly is, which is why more and more of my fics have a dialogue and internal monologue pairing!

The OC worlds I'm writing are gonna be such big passion projects of mine, and I'm so flattered that so many of you already are interested in it.

I watched Wednesday purely because I saw so much Wenclair content, so I'm probably a bit biased in it's favor XD (Though not so much anymore.)

Fred and George are my favorite HP characters (Something something easily sold on Chaotic Twins. Wonder why.), so I am for sure writing shenanigans between the two some point in the future!

For my Cait/Vi fics, while I always try to keep my stories as fandom blind friendly as possible, that may be a bit difficult with Arcane, but it may only be small things. If you do end up reading and are confused by something, I am always more than willing to answer questions about what I wrote or what something means!

yo there acacia! I hope you're doing well these days and will have a pleasant weekend! I'd like to ask your spoiler-less opinion on omori because I've been planning to give the game a try for a while and is interested to read people's thoughts on it! 😁

Hi there, friend! Thank you so much for the well wishes. I hope you're doing fantastic! I was so excited when I saw your ask, oh my goodness--thank you so much! 🥰 (I also owe you a story & some other answered asks. I'm so sorry it has taken me so long to get back with you. 🙈 I'm looking forward to the day I have the energy & health to write as much as I'd like again. Thank you so much for being patient in the meantime 💕). For now, I would be thrilled to share my spoiler-free opinion of Omori with you. I have put it below the cut since it's really long (sorry in advance for all the rambling 😅).

(Warnings: This game does deal with some very heavy topics and thematic elements such as serious trauma, grief, depression, suicidal ideation/suicide, and other mental health issues, and therefore, may not be a good fit for everyone).

A few prefaces before I jump right in, I am not a big gamer so I won't pretend that I can adequately speak to the game mechanics or anything like that. My opinion is mainly based on the story and characters (ect.). Secondly as this is a game with multiple routes and endings, I feel I need to say that I got a good route and good ending when I played, and I have not played the other routes myself (though I did watch YouTube videos of all of the other endings), so my opinion is heavily biased by the route and ending I got on my first playthrough (which it is my understanding is the "true" route and ending). Third, I played the Nintendo Switch version of this game. My sister says there is extra content in the Switch version, but none of it was in the route I got in my playthrough so I can't really speak to that. I can speak to the fact that the Switch version has adorable backgrounds in full screen mode that I do find myself missing when I've been replaying the PC version I bought for myself, but as I understand it, most of the gameplay is the same. Finally, I feel I need to give a warning that this game does deal with some very heavy topics and thematic elements such as serious trauma, grief, depression, suicidal ideation/suicide, and other mental health issues, and therefore, may not be a good fit for everyone. The game begins with a thorough content warning, and as such, I would highly recommend being a good place mentally when playing this game as it can get very dark when it dives into some of these heavy themes.

Alright so my opinions... I absolutely loved this game! I honestly wasn't expecting to get as invested in it as I did. In the beginning, I was really playing it as favor to my sister who is a pretty big gamer and has been wanting me to play this game for a long time since (and this is a direct quote from her) it's "the greatest game of all time." Last year we made a deal with each other that I would play a video game with her if she would read the manga series Karneval (A/N: To my sister, if you're reading this, you still owe me! 😁). She initially wanted to play Omori but compromised to Danganronpa: Ultra Despair Girls since I was wary of some of the heavier themes and mental health topics. UDG also deals with heavy themes and mental health issues such a death, childhood trauma and abuse, but these are elements of subplots not a main theme or a struggle for the main/POV/player character in that game whereas these are much more integral elements in Omori as one of the main themes of the game (at least in the true/good route) is confronting and healing from trauma. After I played UDG and a couple more games (Your Turn To Die and Danganronpa V3 which were also pretty dark), I was looking for another game and thought I should finally give Omori a try. My sister had some of the official game art as her laptop background and screensaver, and the bright and cutesy art style really caught my eye. Since it really fit my aesthetic and personal taste in art, I was super intrigued by the game and wanted to try it out.

[This was her screensaver & one of the first pieces of the Omori art style I saw. This is official art from the game. Gif from the wiki]

I had also heard really good things about the soundtrack and being a hobbyist musician and a lifelong music lover and piano enthusiast, I was really intrigued by the music as well. After my sister (who isn't as much of a fan of the piano) finished the game, I found her trying to pick out one of the themes on the piano herself, and I had a little bit of fun playing with her sheet music but naturally I was thinking, "What is this game?!" I'll fully admit that after I finshed the game, I bought some sheet music and am practicing one of themes myself now so I totally get it. The soundtrack is absolutely gorgeous and at times incredibly haunting. It adds so much to the story, so I really wanted to give a proper shout out to it specifically.

Given the overall aesthetic of the game, I'll admit that I was anticipating a sweet little romp through colorful adventures filled with bouncy piano music and childlike wonder and imagination. There was plenty of that (don't get me wrong), but this game was so much more than what it appeared at first glance and dug deeply into some serious philosophical questions and heavy themes. In that way, it is almost deceptively cutesy and simple, but somehow that manages to fit together perfectly with the underlying, deeper narrative to create something incredibly poignant, moving, and so compelling that it had me not only practically begging my sister to play it for hours at a time but also blinking back tears by a certain point.

I didn't know I could care so much about a game that (on the surface at least) is just the story of a little boy and his childhood adventures with his friends. But that's the wonder of Omori. There's more to it than meets the eye. It has layers upon layers of masterful storytelling told in engaging and entertaining segments that are sometimes whimsical and wacky, sometimes silly, sometimes sweet, and sometimes heartbreaking. This game will make you laugh, and it'll make you cry. Sometimes it might even make you confused on how everything all fits together, but Omori manages to tie even the smallest things together in the most beautiful and satisfying way in the end. It is filled with incredibly complex but ultimately endearing characters who you just can't help but love and root for and who are each given their own distinct personalities, motivations, deep emotions, and compelling arcs. It's a story of deep friendship, of love, of loss, and of finding healing and hope after unbelievable sorrow and tragedy.

I'll be honest that there are moments in this game that are absolutely heart-wrenching, but (at least in the true/good route/ending) this isn't a story about hopelessness and despair. It's about finding healing after traumatic experiences and being able to move forward into a brighter future--the idea that the painful things in our pasts don't have to define us. There can be healing and can be hope after loss, trauma, tragedy, and suffering. No matter how terrible something is, it doesn't have to be the end for us. With hope and with the support of the people we care about most, we can find the strength and the resilience to keep living, and life itself is worth living, even after the darkest of times. Tragedy is not the end, and that's what Omori is all about.

I'd also give a shout out to all of the incredible characters and friendships that take center stage of this story. I absolutely love platonic friendships, and it is so rare that I've had the pleasure of getting to experience a story that makes them so integral, so deep, and so interesting. Usually platonic relationships have to take the backseat to romantic ones and are treated as somehow "less than" in fictional stories, but not in the world Omori. Friendship and family really got their time to shine here, and it was glorious. (A/N: As much I have been crying over some pairings recently, the story was really not about that. There was a (canon?) romantic relationship, but it was in a subplot and not treated as any "better" than any of the friendships and/or used to diminish those. In fact, something I loved about this story was that it outright addressed that yes, this character loved this other character romantically, but there were other characters who loved this character too, just in platonic sense. Those friendships were treated as a deep and beautiful love--it was just a different kind of love. Needless to say, Omori scored thousands of kudos from me for that! 💕)

I know I have rambled a lot here, but I think I will cut myself off before I accidentally spoil something (A/N: I really, really hope I haven't accidentally spoiled anything in my ramblings. If I have, I sincerely apologize). To wrap up, I will say that if you love strong, dynamic, three-dimensional characters who get to have compelling story arcs, deep and beautiful platonic friendships, and themes of finding hope and healing after tragedy and trauma, I could not possibly recommend Omori enough to you. It is probably the best game I've ever played and definitely ranks as one of the most compelling and poignant stories I have ever had the pleasure to experience.

Please play Omori. All it costs is your love, and I promise you, it is definitely worth it. 💖

Hello Maregengo

Lately,I have been paying attention to Hobi and Minie and my mind has been filled with so many what ifs...there is something about them that gives me so much peace and happiness.

Some background information

I have been Army since 2020

One of the people who noticed MinGukkie were different 1immediately....I am Sopeminkook biased....but Jimin is my ultimate bias... I extremely love Jimin and Jungkook's relationship..they have always just stood out to me esp as a closeted queer person....I am especially so affected,mental health wise, whenever I see hate towards the guys esp Minie....I have no right to project my feelings on this absolutely wonderful humans but I can't help myself sometimes and daydream if things were different...if Minie didn't have to be the closest with Taekook...would he have been treated better by everyone.....everybody who has eyes and use their brain can see how much MinGukkie mean to each other and how much Vmin mean to each other.....so when I'm plagued with these thoughts...I began branching out from vminkook and observing and paying attention to other duos....esp Hobi with Minie....they have been roommates for almost a decade....they are tactile members,they are the energy boosters of the group,they both like taking care of others....so watching them together just makes me happy...so happy that I secretly wish it was Hobi who Jimin loved...Hobi always indulges Minie...no matter the situation...he literally just lights up whenever Minie is orbiting him...the way they talk to each other,their lack of personal space,they have a very intimate relationship (not really romantic but its very clear they have a special relationship)with Kook,you have to be really attentive to him to really understand him...I wonder why he's the most misunderstood member in BTS....and the negative word I've seen mostly associated to him is that he is cold(I personally believe JK is neurodivergent)but sometimes it looks like Minie is trying so hard with him,he always has to make excuses with being with Jimin...(I know...I definitely know JK is very unique and he genuinely loves and cares for Minie)I guess I'm just projecting on real life humans here and it makes me feel horrible....it's just that Jimin slander has made me so resentful because it mostly comes from taekook fans and I can't help but wonder if his life would have been 100% better if he fell for someone like Hobi who treats him with so much unashamed love.....who makes it clear everytike how Jimin is such a gem....and damn...watching edits can definitely sway you any way because it is made to draw a specific story...and it's not helping that I've been watching A LOT of Jihope edits....and finally strted noticing things about them I didn't notice before....it's the same as MiniMoni, Yoonmin,Taekook,NamjIn,TaeGi,Namkook ship situation...if you go looking.,you'll find content to convince you.....based on facts...MinGukkie are just to real....like the things they do...it's undeniable they have such an intense relationship....I don't even know why I'm here writing all this....I guess I just love how you speak your mind and how you say things...and it's been eating me away to have horrible thoughts like this and thought I'd just write this here....anyways I hope I'll read your Jihope Dynamics one day

🦄🌈

First of all, welcome to my blog 🦄🌈 Anon! I may be mistaken, but it feels like I’ve seen you around, Storm’s blog perhaps? So thanks for stopping by my neck of the woods. Second of … I’ve just got back from work, and gurl/boi/enby alla dat will require a good glass of Pinot Grigio … and now, let’s start, shall we?

I’m not going to be able to address everything here as you did touched on a lot of subjects, some that require a post of its own such as neurodivergence, and some other which I have kinda touched on, for example some of the pairings. If you feel ever so inclined, later on, you could read my MiniMoni:

and NamKook posts:

Also, even though I do intend to write a proper post for each pair in BTS like the MiniMoni and NamKook ones, I did lightly touch on VMIN and Jihope in my answer to the following ask:

Now that ALL OF THAT is out of the way, let me concentrate on what seems to be the main reason why you wrote to me which is: Because of what Jimin goes through at the hands of Capulets, and other factors, you “wished” the person JM loved was Hobi. Okay.

Let’s start with unpacking a very little but fundamental word you used in your Ask: LATELY.

You seem to feel that, as of lately, JM and Hobi would be a better match for each other, but the thing is that the present Jimin and the present Hobi are like this because of what happened to the past Jimin and the past Hobi. Let me try and explain this better.

A decade ago when I was in my 20s, and I was single with the Highest Standards, and Issues to match, people would often ask me why I was single and right after that they would ask me “What is your ideal type?” and I would readily and always reply “Someone exactly like my dad; smart, funny and kind”. My reply to that would always be “Omg yes, I get you!” or “He must be an amazing guy…” but one day a lady told me “Your dad wasn’t always your dad, he learned to become the man you admire because the occasion, you coming to life, required it”. That floored me.

Not only did it make so much sense, but also I realised that I could be meeting someone like my dad, who might however change with time, for better or worse, or at the same time, I may not be giving people a chance who, given the occasion, might have become like dad, or not. I’m an INFJ, so that caused me quite the unnecessarily amount of internal turmoil; but back to our point!

Hobi is maybe, as you put it, always indulging Minie, or lights up, kinda free in a way, because of what they’ve experienced together in the past 10 years. They, just like all the boys, have been around each other almost every single day and through the most unimaginable heights and the most agonising lows. So it might be that Hobi has learned to be this way with JM, because that is the type of “presence” that JM needed in his life and he saw he could take on; and the same did JM for Hobi.

The reason why they lack personal space, why there is intimacy but we can’t feel romance is because perhaps that wasn’t the role they chose for each other and it wasn’t what they needed from each other either. As roommates there must have been a lot of sharing, internal off-loading, arguing for dumb things, annoying each other and all of that because they were not interested (in my opinion) in anything else. Otherwise, had they been interested in being romantically involved, would they be the same people we see today? I do really believe that any little decision we make or that we undergo, does really affect who we are and might become.

One of my best friends and I had promised we’d get married if we were still single at the age of 40, which I'm still gonna call him and tell him that the deal is off even if I return single, cause marriage isn't for everyone 🙄🙄🙄 because we just get along so well, know each other’s everything (we’ve known each other for at least 20 years now), have been there through each other's EVERYTHING and I could trust him with not hurting me. Mind you, all of that is love, but is not the same type of love, that you look for in a life companion, that is probably the closest type of love to fraternal love if anything.

The last point I would like to unpack real quick, before this becomes too long as always, is one point about JK. You said you “... like Hobi who treats him with so much unashamed love …” now I’m guessing you might have gotten a bit emotional and carried away while you wrote this ask [story of my life …] because, right off the bat, even though we cannot know for sure until we are told, the man is walking around with JM tattooed on the one constantly visible part of his body. That aside, GCFT exist, “JM is the cutest at everything he does” exist, “JK walking around with a JM bitten neck” exist … etc, etc.etc.

I think the few times JK feels shame is when, just like JM actually, he is out of his depth. Differently from JM though, once JK has done something there is never a time he regrets it in a shameful way. He might get angry about it, but never ashamed and that was always a trait of JK I actually envied. He is always so into his own mind, thinks everything through and then, come what may, he just does it. All of this to say that I think that if he could openly love JM without causing him any harm, in the country and environment they live in, I am pretty sure he would.

If you can, don’t let Capulets, and some Montegues, take away from appreciating Taekook, JiHope, Minimoni etc. Each bond is so special and each bond is what it is because of what they had to go through when they started. So I can’t answer “What if JM had fallen for Hobi” because I am not quite sure what type of Hobi he would have ended up falling for. But we know which type of Hobi he cares for right now, and isn’t it great that this Hobi cares just as much for this JM? Who cares about antis anyways, when you have a Jack in the box Hobi?! Jussayin … 🤫

Always respectfully yours 🌈🫰🏾💜

Marengo.

[jimimn]

🥴😭😳🤯😩 My god how to form words... I just rewatched the teaser and compared to that, the haunting choir was stronger in the YouTube shorts version and 🤯🤯 I lost my mind. The choir and the horror like harmonization that you mentioned sounds AMAZING. There is a really high female(?) voice in the very back, holding that note for like almost the entirety of the yt shorts and it literally just fucking catapulted me into the sun. There is a haunting vibe mix of Fake Love from MDP and the choir reminded me of that. I'm really really loving this song so far and they literally just showed us almost the same thing twice 😭 but I'm already so obsessed with it. AND THE DANCERS? LIKE PTD ON STAGE BLACK SWAN??? JIMIN IN THE CENTER??? And the dancers mimicking the choir's screams??? There is so much to unpack here, I need to go on twitter and find people who have the braincells to unpack all this 😂

And now back to my previous ask: Omg don't even mention Jimin dancing in water or rain to me 😭 I would d.e. Oh and yeah you're right, he probably has more outfits in the mv I DIDN'T EVEN THINK OF THAT 😭😭😭

I know exactly what eyes you're talking about and I hate him when he does that. I generally consider myself a soft Jimin stan b̶u̶t̶ l̶a̶t̶e̶l̶y̶ h̶e̶ r̶e̶a̶l̶l̶y̶ m̶a̶k̶e̶s̶ m̶e̶ w̶a̶n̶t̶ t̶o̶ c̶l̶i̶m̶b̶ h̶i̶m̶

Oh, but then you also won yesterday as yoonminkook biased 😎 Yoongi with a puppy 🥺😭

ALSO DID YOU SEE WHAT PDOGG POSTED? Jimin is ending 2023 kpop??? AND WE ONLY GOT 2 TEASERS BUT I'D SAY HE ALREADY ENDED EVERYTHING?? I'm like kinda thankful the next thing we are getting (at least according to the schedule, I'm side eyeing bighit with the surprise drops because there is still a day tomorrow) is the actual mv because it'd be insane if I had to sit through another teaser and not have the actual song. And I'm SO excited to learn what SMF is about and his thought process and what kind of promotion he'll do and talk about his album and his experience and what he learned and maybe Joon will talk about the album too and i will just have so much Jimin content every day 🥺🥺 -🦋

under read more again lmaoo <3333

YESSSS the yt shorts version has stronger background vocalization. and yep yep it sounds like a high female opera like voice but its haunting dhjfhdj idk how to explain it. pls i feel like the song is really going to make me cry.. not just because of the lyrics that might be emotional but also because the intensity of the song might make me overwhelmed. it sounds soooooo energetic and aggressive rn im gonna be so overwhelmed when we finally get to hear the whole thing. AND YES. the dancers the formation the vibes i agree with everyone saying its giving fake love + black swan + on DGFHDJJFD. and the dancers have been posting stories of the teaser saying "the king is coming" and things like that i just think its gonna be fucking insane. omg yes if you find theories send them my way because i have 1 braincell which is all about jimin jimin jimin it is incapable for any other coherent thought <3 (and u did not hear me say this but the third paragraph in ur ask hahahahahahhahha same) OMG RIGHT i forgot they released the photoshoot sketch yesterday 😭😭😭😭 i only saw snippets of yoongi being an absolute goofball i am yet to watch the sketch but i will now after answering this <3 AND YES OFCOURSE I SAW IT. PDOGG. DO U UNDERSTAND WHAT IT MEANS WHEN A PRODUCER LIKE PDOGG SAYS SOMETHING LIKE THIS? JIMIN DID NOT COME TO PLAY. two teasers and he's already made everyone lose their goddamn minds imagine what'll happen when the actual song will release. and god i agree i literally cannot wait i don't need to be teased anymore give me the song already!!!!!!! im sure we'll get joon talking about the songs he participated in when he comes live next hehe i hope he does <3333 and yes please i need to hear jimin talk about it too. i hope he tells us about the inside stories and his thought process behind the album and the songs i would love nothing more than to hear him talk about his art 🥺🥺🥺💖

Mmm yeah Cass my poor baby, she banged half of the castle's staff, in other stories she's also responsible for death of the other half.

She usually has only two things on her mind. Sadly.

Onto better things which is ch.6

Bela and Reader arguing meanwhile Cass is having the time of her life pls I love it, I love her.

Ahhh cuddles with Dani 🥺 so sweet. And she just... radiates such comfort pls. I loved that whole scene with her. I'd trust her with my life.

Another bonding time with Bela with some teasing✨ Reader really got brave there to call her a brat haha

And OMG ANOTHER ONE DOWN WITH THE KISS

SO MANY KISSES LATELY

And I'm happy that they got to spend some time with Cass in her natural habitat too haha.

We've got to see what exactly she's doing in her free time. She does strike me as one that would like to study humans. Be it their literal insides or their mind.

I hope we get to join her for more in the future.

(And damn she does like to annoy the shit out of Bela and get on her sis' nerves, using poor Reader. Also, there are some things to unpack between those two it seems)

With how many happy sweet moments there were, at some point I was like it's going to end soon isn't it? (me every time my life goes suspiciously well lmao)

And I was right 😭 because at the end was this blackout again.

Lastly, I have a question. I've been thinking about it recently, is Daniela not as fluent in English as the rest of her family? She usually speaks with single words or simple sentences. Is that the case? Or is there another reason?

(Happy to hear my struggles to understand what's going on and the journey with this fic is entertaining 😭)

right?? i personally can't stand when people write her like that. she's so much more than just a sadist </3

*Cass lives for drama, i just know it

*I LOVE DANI SM, i did warn you she tends to get better scenes because i'm very biased with her BAHA

*YESS ANOTHER KISS, Bela is bold with initiating and Reader is bold with starting the whole thing off by calling her a brat (she is one, she's just in denial)

*i do like to think Cass is an artist in many ways, like sketching, painting, dissecting humans- all to further her own knowledge, of course, and to find ways to better protect her family :D

*(i am hoping to explain a bit in chap15 about why Bela and Cass are a bit hostile with each other, but i believe i explained it in a headcanon post about their pasts? i can rb it or tag it in this post if you want to read it)

*BAHAHA, i do feel like the angst is definitely weighed out by the fluff/comfort?? like, most of the time, it's not JUST angst, yknow? there's usually some comfort that follows it :D

*there is a reason for it! i can't remember if i actually went into depth about it later on or just implied it, but Miranda severely fucked up Daniela's experiment and the Cadou in her head. it's why she loses control so easily, why she was very much Not Herself in chap4, and why she speaks Like That

it does get much better as the chapters go on and Reader's place in the castle becomes more solidified. she's incoherent and nervous when they're around where you're at, mostly because her thoughts move too quickly for her to accurately articulate what she wants to say, if that makes sense. but as time goes on, you'll see her have full sentences and while she has her moments where she stutters over her words when she's upset, she gets a lot clearer when she speaks >:)

(it'll hopefully make sense as you read more and find out why Miranda didn't care much for their experiments, but i have thought about going further into detail in the upcoming chap when Reader and Alcina have a nice little chat :o)

[indigomono]

today i read requiem of the rose king!

in a few words, body horror. terrific. ABSOLUTE angsty drama. an intersex protagonist who has his body demonized by others around him. i love love how many times this story made me contort in agony in my bed. i binge read it in one all-nighter, i could NOT sleep. i had to finish it in one go and stayed reading until lunch, 12 PM. that's how on edge all the crazy, thrilling events of this manga, richard's story, made me. i knew it'd be a painful ride, but don't regret reading this manga, not one bit!

that being said i'll try to resume the some feelings i have about it.

i started reading requiem of the rose king (or baraou no souretsu) when i found out about the intersex main character, something i never had seen in my life, and was craving something... angsty. trans angst. which richard happens to be an expert. born with both male and female body characteristics, richard is despised by his mother since birth and is considered a "demon" child.

although he's very loved by his father, the lack of his mother's love and her abuse are things that greatly affect richard, of course, and make richard hate himself and the "cursed" body he was born in. it's very heartbreaking to see how many traumatic experiences richard has to go through because of it. he's a very likable character (imo), which makes everything more upsetting, because we want to see richard being happy, free. accepted.

it almost seems an impossible task. even among the many people who fall in love with richard throughtout the story, there seems to be some... disregard about how richard feels about his identity. listen: he is a man. not even once richard doubts his gender: he. is. a man. ugh i was filled with disgust whenever a character mentioned richard "woman's side", how they didn't understand he wasn't a woman and that what they wanted to be true did not matter, richard will continue to be a man, regardless. no, he's not "both" a man and a woman. he doesn't have a man side and a woman side, as if splited. go to hell. if richard wanted to embrace both genders, it wouldn't be a big deal, but he is CLEARLY uncomfortable being perceveid as anything but a man. i'm telling: i was so fucking pissed off. and hated some characters because of it.

now the plot of the story did live up to the "inspired by a shakespeare's play" thing. it was full of twists, schemes, unexpected encounters and dramatic, very dramatic elements. there was also a lot of weird, freaky, questionable stuff happening all the time, but i just gone with the flow and didn’t waste my time mulling over them. oh, and the ghost of joan of arc is there too, occasionally haunting richard! lovely. it's such a dreary atmosphere that as readers we instinctively know: it's a story bound to end in tragedy... right? initially, yes. but there's a certain seed of doubt in the story that makes us hope... if we think about it, it's not impossible, right? richard's happy ending route. or as happy as his ending could be.

yeah... quoting baraou: "hope drives people mad."

me. i am people.

in many ways joan's ghost was a metaphor for richard's inner thoughts, so she was mostly quite mean and vocalized his gender dysphoria. richard is literally haunted by his thoughts.

that's the end of my spoiler free recommendation review(?) so stop reading here if you don't want spoilers!

alright.

here some things that have been tormenting my mind. i want to clarify that: more than just about the romance aspect, i believe my sorrow is about how richard is perceived by others and himself. these two things are connected.

let's talk about this route: the way shown by a white boar; the way, a person. his name is henry. someone i'd argue, in my humble opinion, is richard's uhhh the one.

i will now be completely and unapologetically biased.

richard and henry's relationship is one that feels like a fairytaile. their "accidental rendezvous" at the forest, the solace and peace they found in each other, burdened by similar fears, childhood trauma and loneliness. everything gets better, bearable, when they're together. many times i found myself crying whenever henry said exactly what richard needed to hear. when others scorn him and curse him, call him a unwanted demon, henry explicitily shows how much he likes richard's companionship, he hugs him, comforts him. when both didn't have anywhere they can return to, henry said richard was his home... that richard was his angel.

:(

henry said those words without any ulterior motive, it was genuine. and just... that was it. that was exactly what i wanted richard to hear, that he was no demon, no abomination. "there's nothing wrong with you" i wanted someone to say that to him, and only, only henry was able to. i cried when reading those sweet scenes and i cried again after finishing the manga and looking back at them.

...there was a fucking reason the damn magical white boar kept guiding them to each other. they just... were each other's chance to be happy. a once in a lifetime chance. one that was missed by many misunderstandings, miscommunication and timing. oh, right person wrong time, wrong family, what a delight to read! it makes me feel better to put them in the star-crossed lovers category though. that's what they are to me, and deep in my heart i believe that if not for henry's delicate state of mind, he would've accepted richard. he actually did, until richard's mother brainwashing surfaced. it's also a fact that richard would've run away with henry, despite knowing his true identity, that was how much he loved him... i cried sooo much, it’s not even funny, when richard revealed the secret of his body and asked henry to love him despite… and from start to finish, henry is the only person richard willingly shared his biggest insecurity. when his life seemed dark and bleak, his light was henry. i'm saying: star-crossed lovers.

IT'S JUST SO SAD AAAFSGGSGAAAAAA!!!!! I'M INSANE!!!!! I'M TEARING MY HAIR OUT IM SRS BRING THEM BACK TO ME

their relationship was so tender that it overshadowed the next relationship (again, imo)... so. i had such high hopes for buckingham, i liked his first appearance and in the back of my mind i noted: he wouldn't be bad route, he's the one who sees richard's king potential.

well... it just keeps going downhill. what a stupid ass motherfucker.

obs.: i will just be absolutely ROASTING buckingham in the next paragraphs. it's more of a rant than anything. i need to let my anger and hatred out.

buckingham is the total opposite of henry, but that isn’t necessarily bad (in theory). he is ambicious, determined and he's not ashamed of being "evil". not a bad set of traits, huh? so why. how. HOW did it go so wrong?! i'm actually a fan of characters who embrace their ugly side, the wicked desires and yada yada... but no. not in this story, the story of someone who was conditioned by society to think he was diabolic, just for being born with a different body. and specially because buckshit character acted so stupid. he was so manipulative, encouraged richard to do all sort of deeds to become king and sworn to be his loyal man... and then, in the end, he just fucking realizes what he really wanted all this time was richard and that if he wants to keep him by his side he has to make richard give up the crown?? THE ONE THEY FOUGHT SO HARD TO OBTAIN LIKE. he puts richard on a dress and shackles him, imprisions him in his house like a fucking shitty third rate bl male lead and suggests richard to live his life as woman just so he can give birth?????? GO FUCK YOURSELF HONESTLY DIEEEE. CAN YOU BE ANY MORE SELFISH??? everything was wrong with him FROM THE START. but i tried to ignore the fwb to lovers pipeline that i absolutely HATE and just focus on the fact richard was happy for finding someone that could be with him. i tried to ignore that miserable line about "has the woman part ever been loved?" TO RICHARD WHEN THEY WERE ABOUT TO HAVE SEX!!!!! BUT IT'S JUST SO DISGUTINGGGG HOW HE KEPT IMPOSING ALLUDING TO A SUPPOSED "WOMAN" IDENTITY RICHARD HAD BECAUSE OF HIS PRIVATE PARTS I WAS SEETHINGGGGG.

idgaf about the problematic stuff, as we can see i did read baraou no souretsu after all, the real problem to me was that it was just plainly distasteful. the kingsmaker was too dislikable and their relationship just felt so shallow. he was the worst choice richard could have made, it wasn't good for him, from an objective analysis this time.

literally any other romantic interest would have been better. catesby and anne were right there. (that kid henry's son can fuck off, for misgendering.)

it's just so crazy to me the contrast between richard's first love SWEET HENRY, who would've been richard peaceful good ending, and richard's "other half" (MY ASS he is), who was ultimately the route that would slowly lead richard towards his downfall... even when richard got what he thought he wanted, he wasn't happy... because he did not love himself. because he just learned to accept himself as a demon, as an abnormality, unloved, unnatural, despised by god, by the people. and that's just...... no. he is not an evil demon just because he's intersex. and i HATE buckingham teached him how to embrace this side, his "demon" side. when he was NEVER one to begin with. i hate that the premise always was "embrace the ugliness" when... what's so ugly about his body? that's not what i wanted, i didn't want richard to think he was born broken, i wanted him to realize he is beautiful the way he is... the way henry told him he was. that he could be light and home to someone.

no matter what path richard chose, i'd accept it as long as he loved himself, i really wished he had learned how to earlier. i wished that richard had spent more time with the people he loved, because they were all gone too fast, regardless if i liked them or not.

but of course what i want does not matter! :D instead, he was tormented until the end and lost everything he held dear.

well, that being said, the story has a tragedy tag for a reason. just because it didn't go the way i wished it doesn’t mean it wasn't good. i went CRAZY reading it, but in a good way. i liked it a lot and the whole 30-40 chapters alone make it worth the read and, after that, i know how to enjoy a good villainish protagonist. would i have liked it better if buckingham didn't exist at all? yes. but the manga is good and i was just too invested in richard to just not read everything until the end. (what already makes me last more than mr stupid ass name, ha.) i'm loyal to my king!

My Hate for April O’Neil (2012) Analysis

I want to be clear, even if I put my biases aside, there will still be things in my perspective that may not change. I wasn't a fan of April growing up. Now, as I'm older and more mature, I think I can conclude something better than "she's a b____."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Throughout the entire franchise, this is the first time we see April as a teenager. In other adaptations, April was that supportive adult (female) character. (Where men loved the write about women, without women's input.)

This is also a 'children' audience show. (I think 12+) Still a show where adults and older teens or children can still enjoy it with that barrier. In a LOT of cases, children's shows wouldn't have top-tier writing on average. Let's just put that in perspective and understand the flaws (and pros) of the writing in the show.)

Flaws:

New York is very, very empty for being a city that never sleeps.

The love triangle with Donnie, Casey, and April

Or Romance in general

I’m sure there’s more but that’s the gist of it

Pros:

Fighting was top tier (still is)

CGI is still really good at the time (Don't look at the human hair)

Splinter's and Shredder's backstories (as well as Karai’s)

Balance between 'seriousness' and 'humor'

Now let's really start talking about April.

As stated in the beginning, April is the first time we actually see her as a teenager, and not in an adult supportive role. In season one, it just doesn't feel like she had any other purpose but to be a friend. Which... also seemed to be very lacking.

"April, you don't count. We saved your life, you have to like us." Mikey (New Friend, Old Enemy)

A lot of our (my) feelings towards her is the relationship between her and Donatello which... Growing up, I even thought it seemed super toxic. There is a clear understanding that Donatello in fact has a deep crush on April. (We'll get into his character analysis later in another post.) Then as we think April feels the same way, but THEN Casey gets in the picture. Even before that, she just off-handedly rejected Donnie's affection towards her even after planting a kiss on his cheek. (This girl can't be that oblivious to know how Donnie feels. I'd like to hope.)

This must make her such a horrible person right? Leading on our favorite purple turtle, just for him to get hurt over and over again, right? Even if they both might be at fault, April was the worst one, as we thought. She’s not the brightest, even with her hot redhead-temper. (As I am)

We forget how we even met April in the first place.

The Kraang. Oh Yes. The sweet, lovely, alien species that has actually been around on Earth for years, suddenly KIDNAPS HER AND HER FATHER. She was kidnapped! Yet of course, the turtles saved her but, her father still was with the Kraang until the end of season one (Sort of back.)

I am not saying that anyone should have a free pass for being not a nice person, but this is something we completely ignored. Trauma can literally affect you in so many ways without realizing it. From an outside perspective, we don't see any struggles with a person sometimes.

So of course April's feelings toward Donnie are a bit unstable, to say the least. She just lost her father, and she now is being taken care of by her aunt. April even says to Casey when he finds out about the guys, that she hadn't had anyone to talk to about them. (Season 2, Fungus Humungous) Have you ever been in that kind of situation before? I'd like to hope not. But to know no matter what you can say, you can't because no one would understand. Then mess that is the love triangle with Casey and Donnie just doesn't help anything because they were all going through the stress of the Kraang evasion.

April really isn't the horrible person I thought she was before, sure she still has a lot of flaws but yet that's what characters need to be able to feel alive, or be able to relate to them. The only thing she does that is questionable is not keeping any boundaries when she sets them, but breaks them herself. It’s hurting everyone.

I'm not going to get too in-depth with her powers. Yet I think it's interesting to point out how it's literally a symbol of her losing herself. She tends to feel so overshadowed and has a need for her powers to become more important and less useless to the team. It just became to a point where she couldn't ask for help before she could see herself needing it. And before she could ask help from the stress with it all… The person inside her that wasn’t her ended up potentially killing Donnie. That will put a lot more mental strain onto her.

So my conclusion…

I still don’t like April, I don’t like how the writers wrote her, I don’t like how she continues to make the problem worse because she’s asking for bad behavior when she tells Donnie and Casey to stop… But holy heck as I said before, this was the first adaptation that we saw April as a teenager, so I could imagine why it felt so off at first why I thought she wasn’t the best. I can see why the writers messed up so horribly at this one because they were probably used to the 80’s April where she was merely only know as today as the most- ehem, most romantically alluring to older guys (I’m not leaving out the ladies or the non-binaries.) Not saying that it was okay, but that’s just what happened.

So yeah, I don’t like her.

What do you guys think about her? After Mutant Mayham came out, I think she is definitely the worst of the three teen-April’s.

[starchild--27]

Hello again! I can definitely understand being in the post military feels. I think I've gotten emotional over every departure and return so far. Like sometimes you don't even realize how much you missed them until they return. I have to say the way you describe Chanyeol was lovely.

In answer to some of your questions, I'll answer some but if I feel that it might reveal or at the least narrow down the possibilities, then I'll save those answers til the end if you're still interested in hearing them. There's not much I can think of to tell you about myself. Um I like to read, write and create edits and moodboards. I work probably more than I should so I don't have a ton of free time, but what time I do have is spent either online talking to friends and doing the above mentioned or in the kitchen. I like to cook and explore flavours and recipes. I'd love to travel the world and learn new techniques and dishes but sadly I'm stuck with YouTube.

You said you like to read and watch things are there any particular that stand out to you that you'd recommend? Don't feel limited to hard copy books it could be fic too if you'd like.

Speaking of fic....what sort of gift were you thinking of....I'm capable of, well, what I mentioned earlier lol, I'm not sure if I'll have time for fic writing, but if you'd care to share some ideas for your gift maybe a few wants in each category you're interested in?

(Ps. Ramble away and talk my ear off I do not mind at all. Make these as long or short as you want!)

Hey there, sorry for keeping you waiting with my response. 🙊 I hope you've been well.

And yes, with every enlistment i've been frequently hit with waves of missing each of them a lot. But I'm getting all excited thinking about how we are more than halfway through already - Baekhyun's coming back soon (gosh i miss him-) and then it's only Sehun and Jongin which will sting but after them they are all done. That's such a good thought ^-^

Hehe, I'll surely come back to those questions later, I enjoy reading other people's takes on their biases and all that a lot ^^

Ohh, cooking and traveling - how fun~ I love travelling a lot too! Are there any places/countries you want to visit especially? And for cooking, are there any dishes you enjoy making and/or eating most? And which would you love to try but didn't have the chance to yet? I'm not big on cooking because I'm too lazy and rarely take myself time for it ^^' but I am fond of baking every now and then, hehe, at least i watch baking asmr videos on youtube every now and then and try out some things I've seen every now and then xD

Man, I'm really bad at picking favourites because I really love so many books/movies/etc and each in a unique way, so it's hard to choose.

My favourite fanfic tho is probably On the Booze with Brahms (it's a chanbaek fic, in case you are not into ships) - it unites so many of my favourite tropes *^* But I also love the works of @marshmallow-phd and @guardians-of-exo on here - both are such talented writers and did fic series i enjoyed reading very much.

My recent favourites for books are The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon, This Is How You Lose The Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone & The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller (which i both read last year but i am still so impacted by them), I'll Give You The Sun by Jandy Nelson (which i read two or three years ago but is one of the most heart-wrenching stories), all the Grishaverse books by Leigh Bardugo and the books from the Wayfarers series by Becky Chambers.

All time favourite (and recommended) movies are Le Fabuleux Destin D'Amelie Poulain (2001), Donnie Darko (2001) Everything, Everywhere, All At Once (2022) but I also love the usual fantasy/sci-fi stuff like The Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Harry Potter (fuck JKR tho) and so on.

For series I love Gilmore Girls a lot, I loved The Queen's Gambit too and Anne with an E and recently also Stranger Things (jumped on the hype train after season 4 was out xD). I also sometimes watch K-Dramas, I haven't seen that many tho because they not always pique my interest but the last two I watched got me pretty invested, My Liberation Notes (2022) and Rain or Shine (2017) and I am also watching Bad Prosecutor now, which is the first of the dramas starring Kyungsoo for me and I am really enjoying it so far!!

Ok that was a lot ^^'

For my gift I really don't have a preference, I know that especially writing something demands time so please don't feel obligated at all to do that, if you don't get around to it. Ideas for stuff I'd enjoy would include basically anything with music xD I am a sucker for everything from making mixtapes/playlists for each other (with whatever sentiment btw it doesn't have to be romantic) to making music together, songwriting together, that kind of stuff. But I am also absolutely infatuated with Baby-Zzar (who isn't even a real baby anymore but she'll always be for me xD) and Toben the little rascal too, so any pet parent themed things would absolutely make me squeal as well. (I hope you can work with that answer a little, I tried not to be too "Idc I'll be happy with whatever ^^" which is totally true but probably wouldn't help you at all with coming up with a gift idea)

Anyway, that much from me, I already wrote so much again xD

Have a good time, dear secret santa ♡

hey there !! may I get a romantic matchup for genshin impact ?? thank you <3<3

I'm a 5'0 very pale, lil chubby, black to red split-dye long hair, blue eyed transgender gay enby who's a minor. I look tired almost always, and I have a resting bitchface (no idea until now lol). My MBTI is ISFP 4w5, and I'm on the gemini/cancer cusp. I love collecting things, such as plushies, rubber ducks, and knives. I know those two first things are childish but they comfort me a lot and they're just super fun to collect !! I collect knives because I think they're cool and I like showing them off. I would never use them to harm or threaten anyone, I'm not that kind of person. I also love bugs & cats, my two favorite things ever !! Bugs are my friend and I love finding them under rocks and such. I love praying mantis' and spiders especially, they have a beauty non-bug lovers don't understand bwahaha. Cats are cute lil' guys and I have two of my own, so I'm a little biased. They're like my kids and I care for them sooo much. My hobbies include drawing, writing, playing slime rancher & sims 4, listening to music, and outdoor activities. Such as going to theme parks (I love rollercoasters sm), random cool museums in my city, and hiking/skiing/those sorts of things. I'm willing to try anything once and I'm almost always down for a fun adventure like that. I like the warmth, being alone, sleeping, being useful to others, watching shows, being with animals, and just being outdoors generally. I hate HATE the cold and I hate people who forget things easily and just can't plan very well. I'm flexible with plans sometimes but I get very discouraged easily and may just cancel on spot. Now for my personality, I'd say I'm quite reserved and shy when you first meet me! I prefer to talk in body movements/motions instead of verbally, that's just how I am. However I have no problem with addressing older people for some reason. I take a while to trust people and to warm up generally, even if I like them. I have a hard time starting conversations and can cover up my awkwardness by laughing or just going "yeah". When I warm up to people though, I am very chaotic and a mess. I do almost anything to make people laugh and I love doing stupid stuff that I'll regret in a day. I never make jokes about my friends and I never insult anyone in them, I don't go too far. I love my friends and I'd never hurt their feelings like that. I'm always there to listen to them but I mainly enjoy helping them with their problems than sitting down and comforting them. I have a slight temper but I am becoming good at controlling it. I stand up for what I believe in and I'm not afraid to cut somebody off entirely if they do something that's just totally wrong. I gain emotional attachments easily and I'm very easy to scare or make cry; I'm pretty sensitive. In private I'm a very cuddly person and I adore physical affection & quality time more than anything else. PDA Isn't my thing and I prefer to be left alone in that sense, but if I'm feeling happy, I like hand holding and small kisses.

Hope that was enough! Thanks!

Hey nonnie:) I started working on your matchup! The only thing is, can you specify which gender you prefer? If you have no preference please tell me that too. Thanks a lot:)
