Which type of love interest would you be in a dating simulator?
The childhood best friend who's been in love with the main character their whole life
You're a loyal person to the core, and probably a hopeless romantic as well. You're full of love for those you care about, and that's both your biggest strength and weakness. You would do anything for them, even if it means hurting your own feelings. You will hide all your pain and your needs as longs as that means the rest gets to be happy. You biggest struggle is to clearly communicate your feelings, and you'll always try to avoid those conversations or pretend everything is fine (when it isn't). Remember you deserve to receive the same love you give.

Which type of love interest would you be in a dating simulator?
The sweetheart with an enigmatic dark past
You're always polite and kind with others. That makes people feel comfortable around you and many would consider you a close friend. However, you seldom feel connected with those around you. You feel like they don't know you, the real you, and they never will because you'll never allow them. It takes a great amount of time and trust for you to show yourself as you truly are, because you repress most of your feelings and desires, and mask them with a calm and collected personalty. It just seems easier that way, safer. But remember that if you bottle everything up, it will explode one day, maybe in ways you aren't proud of.

It has come to my attention, via a subtle hint and inkling, that Kimi may have been more involved in Inuyasha’s childhood than what is currently known [which is zero if asked--or if she bothered to answer].
I, for one, am shooketh. Being deceived by my own muse and her complexity? So rood.

I've been thinking a lot lately about how Kabru deprives himself.
Kabru as a character is intertwined with the idea that sometimes we have to sacrifice the needs of the few for the good of the many. He ultimately subverts this first by sabotaging the Canaries and then by letting Laios go, but in practice he's already been living a life of self-sacrifice.
Saving people, and learning the secrets of the dungeons to seal them, are what's important. Not his own comforts. Not his own desires. He forces them down until he doesn't know they're there, until one of them has to come spilling out during the confession in chapter 76.
Specifically, I think it's very significant, in a story about food and all that it entails, that Kabru is rarely shown eating. He's the deuteragonist of Dungeon Meshi, the cooking manga, but while meals are the anchoring points of Laios's journey, given loving focus, for Kabru, they're ... not.
I'm sure he eats during dungeon expeditions, in the routine way that adventurers must when they sit down to camp. But on the surface, you get the idea that Kabru spends most of his time doing his self-assigned dungeon-related tasks: meeting with people, studying them, putting together that evidence board, researching the dungeon, god knows what else. Feeding himself is secondary.
He's introduced during a meal, eating at a restaurant, just to set up the contrast between his party and Laios's. And it's the last normal meal we see him eating until the communal ending feast (if you consider Falin's dragon parts normal).
First, we get this:
Kabru's response here is such a non-answer, it strongly implies to me that he wasn't thinking about it until Rin brought it up. That he might not even be feeling the hunger signals that he logically knew he should.
They sit down to eat, but Kabru is never drawn reaching for food or eating it like the rest of his party. He only drinks.
It's possible this means nothing, that we can just assume he's putting food in his mouth off-panel, but again, this entire manga is about food. Cooking it, eating it, appreciating it, taking pleasure in it, grounding yourself in the necessary routine of it and affirming your right to live by consuming it. It's given such a huge focus.
We don't see him eat again until the harpy egg.
What a significant question for the protagonist to ask his foil in this story about eating! Aren't you hungry? Aren't you, Kabru?
He was revived only minutes ago after a violent encounter. And then he chokes down food that causes him further harm by triggering him, all because he's so determined to stay in Laios's good graces.
In his flashback, we see Milsiril trying to spoon-feed young Kabru cake that we know he doesn't like. He doesn't want to eat: he wants to be training.
Then with Mithrun, we see him eating the least-monstery monster food he can get his hands on, for the sake of survival- walking mushroom, barometz, an egg. The barometz is his first chance to make something like an a real meal, and he actually seems excited about it because he wants to replicate a lamb dish his mother used to make him!
...but he doesn't get to enjoy it like he wanted to.
Then, when all the Canaries are eating field rations ... Kabru still isn't shown eating. He's only shown giving food to Mithrun.
And of course the next time he eats is the bavarois, which for his sake is at least plant based ... but he still has to use a coping mechanism to get through it.
I don't think Kabru does this all on purpose. I think Kui does this all on purpose. Kabru's Post Traumatic Stress Disorder should be understood as informing his character just as much as Laios's autism informs his. It's another way that Kabru and Laios act as foils: where Laios takes pleasure in meals and approaches food with the excitement of discovery, Kabru's experiences with eating are tainted by his trauma. Laios indulges; Kabru denies himself. Laios is shown enjoying food, Kabru is shown struggling with it.
And I can very easily imagine a reason why Kabru might have a subconscious aversion towards eating.
Meals are the privilege of the living.

something so fucked up about Chat Noir’s whole deal is that he is in a lot of ways Adrien playing a character. Like Adrien picked up his miraculous and was told he’d be a superhero so he was like “ok, time to act like a superhero!” and he lets himself have fun w it and play up the role and let loose and kind of just allow himself to be silly and goofy and have fun and for once in his life not care about performing Perfection™.
But. But none of the other characters KNOW THAT. So everyone just sees Chat Noir and is like “look at this guy’s ego. He’s so full of himself. Surely it’d be fair to knock him down a few pegs” without being aware of how few pegs he actually HAS. He’s like the “insecure character who overcompensates in ego” trope except he’s really not doing it unironically, he’s just having a fun LARP pretending to have self worth in his off-hours but nobody else is on the same page about it being a game and he refuses to tell them. He just dramatically pouts about it and lets them laugh and pretends like he’s not internalizing it and it is almost 3 am and my brain forced me to write this instead of sleeping I’m gonna take a melatonin
#writing this my brain was like: what if he actually likes it?#what if he likes people openly criticizing him in ways nobody actually does to Adrien agreste?#because Adrien Agreste is perfect and can do no wrong. maybe he enjoys being insulted or something#and then I remembered chat noirs multiple breakdowns about feeling unworthy and yknow what yeah I don’t think he likes it LOL#do normal people actually fall asleep when they lie down#if you can’t tell I recently decided to make my random ml musings your guys’ business instead of keeping it to myself#hope you enjoy

Enough of the trope where memory loss undoes the damage or the corruption or whatever. More content where removing memories just removes the context.
The tragedy of needing to grieve and not knowing what or who you lost or why. The angst of having trauma and being denied the awareness that it's trauma. The suspense of being different somehow and left to wonder how and when. The tension of knowing that something is off and you can't find where it hurts. The Adventure Zone gets it. Kingdom Hearts gets it.
There is an aching inside you and you don't know how it got there.

idk how many of you remember this but a few years ago tumblr ran a universally panned ad campaign for (us american) pride month that went "the gayest place on the internet".
well someone planning that campaign dropped in to ask the queer automatticians for advice on that and universally me and the other trans people involved were like "don't do it. i am so serious. don't do it. people on tumblr won't understand that it wasn't automattic who instituted the porn ban, or they will, but they'll recognize that automattic hasn't done anything, hands tied or not, to reverse it. nobody will like this. it will be a disaster." and they thanked us for our thoughts and went ahead with it anyway and then had to do retrospectives about how badly it went and were like "we just didn't know" and [gestures] yeah
[edit: i think the person who rbed saying it was queerest place on the internet was right, my brain is fried, sorry! and that's... even worse lmao]
#tony muses#hello new followers. for clarity if you are expecting intense amounts of goss about tumblr specifically i am not your person#when automattic first acquired tumblr they asked queer staff who wanted to transfer over to something that was dear to a lot of us#and i specifically did not want to shit where i eat so to speak#which was the right choice. i just have other info about automattic more generally

there is something unique and deeply special about monkey d luffy as a protagonist. he’s overwhelmingly ADORED by the fandom. he’s consistently the most or at least top 3 most popular characters in the whole series. peoples takes about him are gushingly positive. and that’s… really uncommon.
a LOT of fandoms i’ve witnessed or been in have a tendency to favor characters other than the main character. especially in anime. the main characters are often written as a blank slate for readers/watchers to project onto, but that makes them not as interesting and so they don’t get the fan attention.
but luffy is so far from that. and he’s ALWAYS been this way. we love him so much. he’s the heart of the story and the heart of the fandom in every single way. and i think that speaks to how well-written he is as a character. he’s fun and charming and complex and interesting and he makes us laugh and cry and cheer and hope and love. he’s able to inspire so much joy in people, both in his world but also in this one. and i think that’s really special. i feel so grateful to have found this story that means so much to me, and i’m so grateful that luffy exists.
#i’m in a very emotional mood tonight and i was just. musing#about how wonderful our best boy is#and how much true and genuine joy and hope and wisdom he has given me#i feel like i’ve learned so much from him about how to love people#and that’s. freely. enthusiastically. easily and without abandon.#love you monkey d. luffy. you saved my life#one piece#monkey d luffy#one piece meta#personal

Headcanon Time
Subjugation Beads
The only reason Kikyou had created the beads was to protect her people and Inuyasha. Even so, that is not to say there wasn’t turmoil in her heart at the prospect of giving it to him and someday using them. There was a significant amount and it was a decision she did not take lightly. I am certain she hoped she never have to use them--but at the expense of his life and others--she couldn’t take the risk.
And I know the use of ‘beloved’ as the trigger word is confusing--but upon thinking about it--it is a demonstration of love. As stated, the beads were for the sake of him and the villagers. She loved him by the time of its creation. The easiest word that came to her mind for Inuyasha, was ‘beloved’. Something quite easy to recall..perhaps a bit dangerous if she used it too frequently..But nonetheless, it shows how much she loved him. How her thoughts were filled with pure adoration, even if she ultimately had to give him a spell bound beads to wear.
If Kikyou had to use it to snap Inuyasha out of his demonic state during those early days, it would have hurt her significantly to use it. However, preventing him from harming others and himself is important. Imagine her using ‘beloved..stop.” and Inuyasha is yanked to the ground, successfully snapped out of it..Kikyou would be at his side in an instant to ensure he was okay..And knowing her, apologize for using it while checking him over.
In the end, she didn’t give it to him. She had opted to believe in his abilities--to trust that he will not harm another or betray her by trying to steal the shikon jewel.
Kikyou is the embodiment of love. The beads were forged from love and meant to use with love--which unfortunately gets abused and becomes the opposite of what they were meant for.

Sometimes you just need to write a villain that is so immoral, has no tragic backstory and just thrives on evil, chaos.
While I do love my complex, tragedy turned villains, I also like ordinary bastards that have nothing excusable about them. They are so wretched and despicable, that it is amazing.
For me, it is the following muse:
x|| Kagura.
There is nothing to pity here. Just a demoness out here trying to slaughter all those who gets in her and Naraku's way.
Because of how I write her and how she's intertwined with Naraku, she eventually gets her heart. But even before that, she doesn't think of her time with Naraku as imprisonment. She fully enjoys it. One could say she loves him--which ultimately is self love if you think about it lolol.
They're both on the same horrifying wavelength --to the point that Naraku has no doubts about her loyalty--unlike his other reincarnations.

Headcanon #2||
🌙 Inukimi had mated for life with Toga. She chalks it up to her naivety in youth or her emotions. She had wanted no one else so it was an easy decision. But after he fell in love with Izayoi and left them..she came to regret that choice. When demons mate for life..it is more than just an emotional connection but physical, mental and somewhat spiritual bond too.
Yes she’s had partners after that..and still have meaningless sex to this day..but she could and cannot bond with anyone. She’s tried so she can move on herself like her ex-mate did..to find some semblance of happiness..but it never worked. Even if the warrior or demon was almost as good as the demon general, there was nothing. She felt nothing. Even the sex itself could not compare..but she has needs so it meets the very barest minimum. Unsurprisingly, the number of lovers have decreased over the years.
Kimi may act extremely haughty, nonchalant and uncaring..but her emotions run far deeper and more convoluted than she portrays. She is good at her facades and deception. She is simply waiting for her son to mature and grow satisfactorily before she ‘retires’.

Random Hisana Headcanons 🌸
The fact that Hisana’s element is Fire and Rukia’s is Ice never ceases to be perfect to me.
Not to mention--the cold doesn’t bother Hisana. At least not since her powers were awakened in her Hueco Mundo arc. What does bother her in her current form, is excessive heat and the rain. The latter simply makes her more lethargic and tired.
And yes--Hisana has different forms--which again is partially seen in her HC verse. I was writing about the abilities of each form at some point but got lazy.
At present:
Tier 1: human form
Tier 2: there’s armor, flames, body markings, ‘eye shadow’, claws and other fun things
Tier 3: full fledge Phoenix form. Currently her most powerful form and hasn’t been unlocked as yet.
Tier 4: TBD but it will be a delicious compromise of 3 and 2, making her all the more dangerous and strong--will be her toughest form c:
