[rotisseries]

inspired by elli's poll lol cause this seems fun actually but if you guys have bad answers I'll kill myself on your doorstep or smth

#“rori all of these are your faves how can there be a bad answer” well I still have an internal ranking on some of these #and if all of you pick an option that I think pales in comparison to the others. well. hm #I know what's gonna sweep though because two of these are niche as hell and 4 maybe 5 of these are things you people don't follow me for #fun fact I actually had to scrape my brain to make sure I couldn't come up with any more #I am unintentionally very picky on what is a favorite apparentlyyyy #I also just don't watch/read enough stuff these days so there's that #AND I NEED LONG TERM EXPOSURE TO KNOW THEY'RE STICKING AROUND #so like. I have some options but I don't KNOWWW if they're sticking yet #but this feels like such a small poll lmao #also no sapphics on here this is actually cause I hate women- #NO. JOKING. zelink is here. I almost put gideon and harrow but I'm in a perpetual state of not having finished tlt #and I couldn't put nebetta and darya I was drawing the line at 2 tbos ships. well. actually. changed my mind #not editing these tags actually you guys can see my thought process #WAIT AND SAYMARI. FUCK. I LITERALLY MADE A PLAYLIST FOR THEM I LOVE THEMMM #ok. is 4 tbos ships too many. hmm #I said 2 of these are niche now four of these are niche it's really the “which tbos pairing is your fave” poll #THIS POLL IS SO FUNNY IT'S SO SELF INDULGENT I HAVE TO TAKE OUT AT LEAST ONE TBOS SHIP #I should add one more general one... #cause I do actually want genuine and varied answers I gotta give y'all options so they don't all pool at the first two #I also almost put ellie and abby on here.. that would've been so funny four popular 1 rarepair 3 super niche ships #ellie and abby are soooo interesting to me though so of course the thought of them having something horrible going on together compels me #and they are one of my 3 favorited ao3 tags... they deserve a place... #ok well while I debate on that I'm putting akutagawa and atsushi on here I admittedly have only had like two months of exposure to them #but it is enough I can tell they are so crazy to me #the way my tags are just me overthinking everything on what is supposed to be a fun and silly poll... no one does it like me I'm afraid

REPOSTOBER - Day #30

the second to last day dawns! and with it comes some old fanart I made during an extracurricular art course my crush and I were taking in our final year of school I blew my chance to confess but I still had fun anyway /shot

it's funny looking back on those days and seeing how like... young and dumb and cute I was all smitten with him lol... even funnier to me is how similar he and my partner are/were, I really did typecast myself into liking the exact same kind of men lmao... but I guess I could have guessed that from even my OCs; my favourite even looks like the both of them!! I uh, very clearly have a type

back on topic, it's a shame I haven't been able to celebrate Odaiba Day for quite some years now! but you could say I'm celebrating late; this month I have finally gotten around to watching Last Evolution: Kizuna after having had the DVD for years, and just today my package from the amazing @sinobali arrived so now I have new V1-themed stickers to slap on my car!! and to add to my growing collection of ZeninTCG ones; they're helping me locate it in the parking lot no matter what angle I'm approaching from lmao

#repostober #haulauart #tai kamiya #yagami taichi #taichi yagami #digimon #digimon adventure #I was so hyped for the stickers y'all you cannot imagine... so many of my fave OG digimon in there #I had a time trying to pick who to put on what corner lol #they're one of my absolute favourite digimon artists and I was so jazzed to find they have a store now! #I don't use twitter so I'm late to the party but I'm 100% the target audience for the proper car stickers they're working on which is great

Choose Your Own BL Adventure - Day 2

Options:

Accept his offer. Wreath has been so kind and you can ask him questions about university life on the way.

Decline his offer. You’re supposed to be meeting Snow before your next class for a last minute cram session before a quiz.

Offer to walk him to his class instead. His building is closer and on the way to yours.

Day 1 poll here.

#2023 choose your own bl adventure #for anyone who reads my little comments i leave in the tags #this is your one and only reminder about what i said in my original post #about how it's not always clear which option will be for who #i'm sneaky and also i'm trying to tell a story with y'all #not just make super obvious tropes and what not for people to pick their faves of the love interests #so my advice is to vote for what you feel will make the best story not necessarily your fave #because sometimes the choice you think is your fave will lead down a different road #but that's just advice and not a rule vote how you want and how you please #i'm just providing you with information and suggestions #now be free to go vote

the problem with manjuu imho is that they fall into one main faction for a while and just run with it, which can lead to perceived biases when in reality they probably dont have biases. idk i also think assuming they're biased towards any faction isn't a very healthy mindset but it also appears they're a bit lazy and pick a faction and run with it for like a year or so. two HMS URs almost back to back for example after ~2 years of no events (except a minor one i think), and when they start breaking that mold and try new things people whine and seethe and shit themselves.

just look at the drama with Yorkie II and BisZwei, which is why im oh so tired of the fandom so i hope they give the IB Treatment™️ to the Iris/Vichya, and that next year we get Sun Yat-sen as the first Dragon Empery UR PR, and that to cure Amagi of her illness the Sakura give her the II/Zwei treatment and we get UR CV Amagi who is the Goddess of Fluffy Tails

if that makes sense.

as i've said multiple times i don't simp for a single faction, and i genuinely, honestly want to see two french URs like Implacable/Vanguard. it's what the people deserve, and then 2 Sardegna URs as well, and then two more USN URs, etc.

#azur lane #gacha #gacha game #azur lane rant #im sorry for being negative on y'alls dashes #i am genuinely so excited about clemenceau tho. like legit i already love her and she may be one of my faves. alongside mainz and the other #i just dislike so much this overall . idk. atmosphere i guess #that the fandom has #which may indicate AL is truly becoming a large fandom which is never good (look at genshin)

seemingly the only way i can ever get into any new thing is if i spontaneously decide to watch/read it

#shut up danni's talking #in other news aloneintherain posted a welcome to demon school iruma-kun fanfic while i was sleeping #woke up the notification and thought huh well i don't wanna get up now so lemme boot up crunchyroll #i am now on season 2 ep 1 #so that's fun! #and i would die for iruma - him and azz are deffo gay #my angel clara is either lesbian or she's aro lesbian and i can't decide which i like better so shrug #but that girl eiko is ABSOLUTELY bi honestly she's like my fave side character #uh big buff and dumb blonde is also a favourite of mine #he's so passionate abt the demon king and stuff and i cackled when he found out the demon king club was full of nerds #and yet he IMMEDIATELY without a single second of hesitation joined and like MAD respect i adore him #ameri is also cool but she is absolutely demiromantic with a romantic soul and i ship her w eiko #but man the relationship between iruma and his grandpa is so sweet???;; #i wanted to melt at the festival and the other classmates were like oh man bet you're the pride of your family iruma and he was like #YEAH I LOVE GRANDPA AND OPERA #i wanted to cry #also the fact that iruma puts his hair up in a ponytail when exercising is my absolute favourite thing #and is definitely a key reason why i think he's one of my faves i'm always weak when a character can have a small ponytail #anyways just letting y'all know and when i finish watching the anime fingers crossed my dumbass brain will let me comprehend the manga #idk HOW i managed to comprehend the mha manga way back when but hopefully it'll work this time too #i have a feeling that a lot of the fandom is weighted towards the manga spoilers rather than the anime which is fair #also i THOUGHT crunchyroll had messed up bc i was sure i had three more episodes left of season one and i did #when i finished s2 ep1 it tried to make me watch s3 ep1 which like no thank you #so now im gonna have to go back and be confused rip

this fanfic from 8-9 years ago I'm rereading is so fcking good w so many layers and plot twists goddd fanfics used to be this good back then and didn't even need smut for it.

++ what ppl consider angst nowadays doesn't come near the actual angst from back then.

+++ side-characters that were actually important for the plot and also had their own deep and plot relevant background stories and weren't just there for the sake of it?? it was a thing back then!!

#fanfics #wattpad #fandoms #idk y'all but back then I read like 60+ 5sos fanfics and so many left a lasting impression on me that I still remember them even now #can't find any bts fanfics that can compare to the angst #or the multiple layers or plot twists or character developments #the story I'm rereading rn is a calum mafia story but also bit college au in the beginning and god it's so good #probably my fave fanfic ever #this or the mental hospital one which was also a calum one #I miss these times #nowadays you don't find Angst like this anymore #ppl are too sensitive #you'd have to spoil every lil angst or plot twist or dramatic turn in the tags

I feel like saying Josuke doesn't have any daddy issues whatsoever isn't entirely fair (I've seen some fic and comics go further into how he and his mom might have been treated due to the circumstances of his birth that were pretty compelling) but people who act like he grew up without any father figure are definitely off base imo. Every single adaptation and extra material have always had a focus on his close relationship with his grandpa for a reason!

see, that's precisely the thing. it is literally impossible to be a grown up human without having internalised some sort of illogical Feeling about oneself or the world – but fandom as a whole tends to just assign arbitrary ones to characters based on stereotypes rather than what they actually are like.

i do think josuke feels some sort of way about his lack of a father growing up, but that's as inevitable as joseph himself (or giorno, or jolyne, or even jonathan) having feelings about his own dad, and yet somehow jorge's absence does not get brought up despite joseph and josuke's fairly similar upbringings. the fact is that most of western fandom tends to view the JJBA characters through a (white, usa-centric) lens that simply does not lend itself to a fair or accurate reading when most of the cast is either POC or from an entirely different cultural background. that's why i'm so resistant to label josuke as having 'daddy issues'; the term means something entirely different to me than it seems to do to most of the fandom, based on all the fic, comics, and discussions i've seen (and had) about the topic. it's not exactly like the organised crime aspect of VA, but it fills me with a similar kind of frustration. i don't think one needs a degree in cultural studies or history or whatnot to enjoy a silly series about people punching each other with slutty soul-ghosts, but it's exhausting to see the same thoughtless, very specifically westernised takes being regurgitated over and over as Absolute Truth until the characters are so flanderised they seem nothing as much as a caricature of their original versions. i love transformative works as much as any other fan creator, but i also happen to like the source material. it is infinitely more interesting to me to think about what kind of relationship josuke might have to his heritage as a mixed-race person, or his identity as the son of a single mother or the obviously cherished and spoilt child of a family such as his own (especially in a place and period like canon's late-90s/early 00's japan), than to hear yet another iteration of 'haha, josuke has daddy issues' where the person saying it has no intention of analysing that premise beyond the puddle-depth obvious.

at barely sixteen years old, even as interested in high-end fashion (and as very much part of a working class family who could definitely use the nest egg) as he is, josuke's immediate reaction to being told his missing father is incredibly rich and wants to take care of him is to say that it's not necessary, and he's fine as he is. sixteen. i worked as a teacher with kids as young as a year old and people as old as mid-seventies; that kind of ease of mind is one-in-a-million and not something you'll find on someone who fits fandom's definition of 'daddy issues'. he's not angry at joseph, he's not grasping for money, he hardly even wants to find out more about the missing part of his origins. his only thought is to wish he wouldn't be the reason other people were hurt, and to protect his mother once there is a risk she might find out and be distressed about it. his entire morality system is (from what i remember of canon) mostly based around the question What Would Grandpa Do?, with some leeway allowed for the temper he clearly got from tomoko and for the fact that he is, again, a big and slightly spoilt sixteen year old.

so yeah. it might not sound fair to say he doesn't have daddy issues, but i don't think the terms fandom's operating under are fair to start with, so i'd rather recuse myself (and my interpretation of the character) from it all til we're playing the same game. the sandbox's wide and wild, and the block and mute buttons are there for a reason, so i'll just stay in my corner writing about higashikatas wielding their feelings like sledgehammers til my mum says it's time to go home.

#tl;dr: everyone's absolutely entitled to their opinion! i just happen to find the most common one the equivalent of soap-flavoured cilantro #i definitely agree with the part about his rship with his grandfather! it's a whole thing in my own writing for them #it's just 'daddy issues' has become shorthand for a combination of takes i quite dislike the past few years #so yeah. i'll just... Not. if y'all don't mind #(i do think Other characters have daddy issues in the traditional sense. and even in the popular modern sense. but not josuke particularly) #anyway i hope this doesn't read as confrontational as i fear it sounds bc that was. so not my intention orz #ty for the ask!!!! i really love discussing character analysis i'm just rly tired rn so i probably sound super Debate Team Mode haha #ps ryohei was 100000% josuke's favourite person in the world growing up and he's still tomoko's special baby gremlin at age 50 pass it on #josuke higashikata #jojo #the funny thing abt my fic is i'm really at ease abt posting my shippy stuff bc it's just like. treating myself to sth nice #and then sharing with everyone as a bonus #but the stuff where i actually talk abt familial and platonic rships for my faves lives in eternal development hell bc i just LOVE it #and never feel like it's perfect enough to share. it's never complete because it's always evolving #which is why i once wrote a novel allegedly about detectives in love but in reality about 100kish of family/friendship character analysis #meaning there was no way this ask could've ever been answered succinctly lol #ask tag #joji.txt #joosk #anonymous

i absolutely get where that “all your fave fics were written by middle aged women” post is coming from wrt how women are treated in fandom as they age but like having followed a lot of the writers i was reading stories by back in the day ik for a fact that at the time most of my faves were written by ppl who were like 25 - 35 at the time lmao

#especially bc maybe not the original post but some of the comments were talking about older fandoms #and a lot of the things i like came into being in the last decade or so #also i do think people are in the habit of assuming only women write fanfiction which is not true #it might be MORE women than not who knows the demographics but like #idk i'm not assuming anything any which way about the things i read now bc most of the ones i used to follow #left fandom or got annoying to me #and now i find it's usually a mistake if i look at something on an author's blog or other account #like i was enjoying this one person's fics and they linked their youtube page and i saw the stupidest take for a video title #and i was like WELL YOU RUINED IT NOW #so it's best to just now know anything about these people for me #like god so many of the popular 1d writers back in like 2013 really got all high and mighty later on #so yeah idt i follow a single author i'm subscribed to on ao3 i just don't wanna see shitty opinions and ruin it #ANYWAY point is like yeah i get it but i think you could just say your faves are more likely to be written by adults #and even so like. y'all think teenagers can't do anything well which is weird and wrong but whatever
