I have been wanting to talk about this for a while, especially since I keep seeing it on Twitter

For the most part, I agree with this tweet. I struggle to make the PJO cast look like themselves. It’s really important to get those features right. That being said, we also have to remember that a good chunk of the PJO fan artists are inexperienced artists. While there are a lot of artists who are just flat out racist, there’s also the group of artists who have a harder time drawing from life. I’ve seen so many amazing artist who clearly know how to draw black people, but their Annabeth fanart still doesn’t look like Leah.

No hate to the op, again I think she’s right to an extent, but it is so frustrating seeing mainly non artists saying this. And there are so many people in the comments saying “it’s so easy” when it really isn’t. Drawing from life is a skill that comes with practice. And whether you know how to draw black people or not, you’re probably going to have a tough time drawing any of the PJO cast if you don’t have that skill. Thankfully tho, there are a few simple ways you can improve on drawing from like:

I have some notes for Walker and Leah specifically, just because I think they’re the hardest to get right. (I know this probably seems creepy, but it’s so helpful to look at refs) This is all basic info you can find anywhere, it’s not revolutionary or anything

Walker:

-The eyebrows to me are the most important part. They’re much darker, and close to his eyes.

-He also has a pretty straight nose. Drawing him with a button nose will make him look like a random white blond boy

Leah:

-Again, the eyes and eyebrows are pretty important. Her eyebrows are thin and long. And her eyes have shadows underneath(plus she kinda has doll like eyes)

-round face

To show what I’m talking about, I did a quick doodle of Leah from reference. For me personally, when I draw from life I like to pick out a few distinct features that makes them feel real. It’s pretty bad because again I’m not the type of artist to typically draw from life, which is why art study’s can be super helpful to spend time on.

I really dislike when non artist complain about what fan artists are doing. We do this for free, in our free time, for a community that we love. But I also think it’s important to LISTEN TO CRITIQUES. If someone is telling you your Annabeth fanart is too light, you need to listen. As much as I agree with OP that this is predominantly a Leah issue, it isn’t just Leah. I can see throughout the fandom that a lot of artists are having a hard time drawing the characters(and I’m one of them). The PJO fandom has not had real people to base their drawings off of until two years ago, which is probably the reason a lot of us are having trouble with it. Even outside of this fandom I have a hard time with this. It took so much practice for me to get Alex and Henry right from RWRB, and I still can barely draw Henry 😭

Even some of the most experienced artist have difficulty drawing from life, again it’s a skill that takes practice. Anytime you see PJO fanart that actually looks like the actors, it’s probably because they just have more practice, or they’re more experienced artists.

I’m honestly having a hard time finding what OP is talking about when she said “artists draw Annabeth as a random black girl while referencing Walker for Percy” I was looking through saved work of other Percabeth fanart, and I see the same issue for Walker. I don’t doubt that there is work out there she’s referring to, I just can’t find it myself.

Sorry if this was a garbled mess of a post. I know it was really long, but hopefully this can help some artists to pick up on distinct facial features and replicate it in their own artwork. Trust me, as an artist I know it isn’t easy, but practice will always help. Best thing about being an artist is there’s always room for improvement

(Also don’t forget to give Leah black features 👍🏽)

!!BRAWL TALK SPOILERS!!

Man I have not done one of these in a while- mostly due to a combination of other fixations taking more priority in my brain, and the increasing complexity of all the topics in the most recent Brawl Talks making it harder to do these opinion summaries. Plus, they take me a long time to make. I do really enjoy sharing my personal thoughts though, so I’ve decided that I’ll only really cover things that I really want to talk about so it’s not so much to handle doing one for each talk!

With that out of the way, here’s my thoughts of some of the stuff in the most recent Brawl Talk!

Starting with new brawlers!

Mico honestly kinda terrifies me from a gameplay perspective. While I think his slow reload is a fair enough debuff for his attack, his air immunity and damage is gonna be pretty annoying to deal with, ESPECIALLY since he’s gonna be free to everyone meaning he will haunt my every nightmare in every game.

Beyond that I think he’s cool enough. His super is awesome and I’m hoping to see some funny stuff of him hanging with Lola and Gray!

LOOK AT MY ADORABLE ITTY BITTY KITTY SON-

Kit whole move set is so damn interesting and seems like he’s gonna be so much fun! As a fan of supports myself, I might even sort of side-main him if I enjoy using him enough. (Though that would probably end up pushing out my dear best boy Otis from his spot, since I’ve already made him second to Sandy)

Love everything about this dude, gimmie my son as soon as possible-

These guys are so stupid adorable I NEED to see them being protective over R-T and bickering like siblings in the most loving way- Please guys I need so much cute fan art of them

I always wondered what it would be like for two brawlers to be played as one and I’m not disappointed with the result! Something feels a bit empty, but it will probably be easily fixed with good gadgets and star powers.

Just breezing through the hypercharges

OH NO-

OH NOOO- (seriously this one actually seems op)

Oh hey! Nice! (Big ol’ stinky Fang fan right here lol)

I never really have any huge thoughts on the hypercharges, but found these one both funny and scary as hell.

And that’s really it when it comes to the things I wanna talk about. Thank you if you read all of this and feel free to share you’re own thoughts :]

Virche Evermore -ErroR:Salvation- First Impressions 🥀

This will be my first time doing a first impressions post, since I started Radiant Tale before starting my blog, so quick rundown of how this works: I play through the prologue of a game (maybe part of the common route if a prologue is too short) and give my initial thoughts of the game and any love interests that appear. These posts are going to be relatively spoiler free for most the plot, but I won’t limit myself from spoilers of what I’ve seen for those who want to play a game completely blind. I am writing as I encounter things so if it seems all over the place then haha yeah it is!

Trigger/Content Warnings: violence, murder, suicide, body horror. Please be mindful of your triggers and don’t interact with this post if you’re not in the capacity to handle such topics! I’ve put a read more for those who would like to avoid these triggers. I am not aware of all the triggering content in this game yet, so please look up a full list if you feel the need!

For Virche Evermore, I played the prologue and Chapter 1 for this post. I am trying to do these posts before the first necessary dialogue choice, but because of how short the prologue was and how you only see 3 of the 6 LIs at that point I decided to wait until a bit later. I started playing January 15, 2024.

Also, I’ll note my most anticipated and least anticipated with the respective emojis: ✨ and 💥

General Thoughts

Oh my god this starts out so wild??? The prologue portion was INCREDIBLY short and I immediately saved after and it said Act 2 so was that Act 1? No clue. Anyways, this poor girl has gone through it. I feel so bad for Ceres. I don’t like that everybody but Salome ignores her essentially. Ok so I didn’t realize we’d be taking a Piofiore route of introducing religion but that’s fun. I struggle with games addressing religion sometimes because of some personal issues so I’m anticipating this game will take me a bit to get through like Piofiore: Fated Memories.

Mathis

He seems very nice! He’s definitely one of the pretty boy characters and I have a stellar track record of picking those ones as my favorite. I did think he was wearing a dress at first and then was sad for 0.3 seconds when I discovered he wasn’t.

Lucas ✨

Oh boy another pretty guy. We’re off to an amazing start people. I was not expecting his voice but it fits, they almost always do. OH HE’S A TEACHER COOL! I am begging for at least one of these guys to have a full on dress at some point please they’d all pull it off flawlessly. Especially Lucas or Mathis. Oh he’s coughing that’s not good…I wanna fix this fictional country’s problems just to save this dude from dying he’s too pretty.

Scien

I have seen this man for 10 seconds and he is already getting on my nerves omg. Now to be fair, he is another pretty boy character…they probably all are now that I think about it. I was not expecting that voice from him though.

Yves

Ok this is the cover art guy…immediate first thought is he’s a little strange. I’m 99% sure he’s that kid who saved her in the fire. Yeah he basically instantly confirmed that, cool. Oh sweet the game confirmed it quickly on too, makes my life a lot easier. Somebody with braincells yay!

Adolphe 💥

Ok so I started my thoughts here at the first official time he makes an appearance. Interesting, I like him more than I thought I would when I was just seeing his sprite. He’s got some braincells unlike most these people so that’s a win. What’s not a win is the older brother-little sister dynamic we have here! Cute for anybody that’s not a love interest! Something from seeing his sprite enough now, does the dude wear a shirt because it doesn’t look like it?

Ankou

Oh my god he’s wild and not in a good way to start off! Ok he’s scaring me genuinely wow. But he is pretty…ok what is he even talking about. Oh and that’s it there’s the op. Well let’s see how this game goes!

List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the askbox for the last 10 people who reblogged something from you! get to know your mutuals and followers ♡

Thanks for the cute ask! I got several copies of this bad boy but luckily lots of things make me happy so I’ll try to come up with answers for all of them! (And if you sent me a Quarry ask recently I’m not ignoring it! I’m just behind in responding!)

First five:

1. Making people laugh. In person. Online. Whatever. Just inject it in my veins.

2. Getting asks and messages and reblogs where people engage with the subject matter. Especially if the same topic gets passed around by a few people, that’s always fun! I think with headcanons sometimes people are afraid to chime in because it seems like they’re trying to correct the OP but I love hearing different opinions so much! 💕

3. Pets. Just love ‘em. Couldn’t live without them. Such funny little creatures who just become our best friends even though we don’t speak the same language or anything. 🐶🐰🐰🐰🐰

4. Music. Obsessing over songs. Making playlists. Picking tracks to pair with fic chapters. Daydreaming scenarios and directing music videos in my head. Going to shows. Love it all.

5. Art. I get very excited about museums and I love paintings and sculptures and installations. I really like art you can walk around and see from multiple angles. I particularly geek out over Chihuly glass.

Ugh something about light filtering through colored glass just sparks up my whole brain. I wanna eat it.

This is one of sweetest messages I have ever received in my entire life, and I'm still smiling like a complete dumbass BECAUSE I LOVE YOU SO MUCH FJDHKSLSK💕💕💕 I wish I had the skills to write a whole fic based on your art, rather than just a silly little headcanon screamed in the tags, but!!!!! Your art is so inspiring, sometimes I just can't help myself!! IT'S TOO GOOD AHGDUSHSH 💕💖✨💞✨ I'm not kidding here darling, your art tag is an actual treasure from start to finish and I want everybody to know that 💖💖💖 And yes, I will absolutely confess that I have a soft spot for your Steve art, and every time I see a new post, a new AU by you, all I can do is SQUEAL SQUEAL SQUEAL AND SQUEAL SOME MORE

What do you think of the one piece movies?

Oh boi, that's a loaded question. 😭 I will reply honestly but please remember this is my personal opinion, whatever you like it's all legit!

In general, I don't particularly care for the OP movies too much. I did see them, almost all, even enjoy some or part of them, but I'm grateful that they're non-canon. I don't hate them and I'm always happy when a new one is announced (more OP content!), but that's about it. Same goes for the special/OVAs, although they kinda stopped with those. I will only go through the movies in this post.

Movie 1 (One Piece: the Movie) and 2 (Clockwork Island Adventure) are basically like filler arcs in the early days of the anime. They are not bad, nor good. I haven't seen them in a long while but I remember being pretty neutral towards them.

Movie 3 (Chopper's Kingdom on the Island of Strange Animals) and 5 (The Cursed Holy Sword) actually SUCK. They suck so much I could hardly get to the end. The Chopper one is just a total bore with a super predictable plot, while the Zoro one is actually painful. Zoro and the crew are totally OOC, and the poorly-thought magic lore introduced in the movie just doesn't fit with the OP universe.

You'll noticed I skipped movie 4 (Dead End Adventure). And that's because this one I like. It's also like a filler arc, but it fits perfectly in the plot (love the quick reference to Navarone), it flows well, it's dynamic and engaging, and the original characters are actually good. Shout out to Shuraiya Bascùd, whose design is basically Ace in a different color palette, but has a complex personality.

Movie 6 (Baron Omatsuri and the Secret Island) is a unique One Piece product, quite distant from what we're used to, and therefore I consider it a must-see. Not really for the plot, which doesn't make much sense, but for the art and the direction. In fact, it was directed by Hosoda, a very notable anime movie director (Wolf Children, The Girl who Leapt through Time, Summer Wars, Digimon...).

Movie 7 (The Giant Mechanical Soldier of Karakuri Castle)... I remember absolutely nothing of this movie except Nami's bouncing boobs.

Movie 8 (Episode of Alabasta) and 9 (Episode of Chopper plus) are revised re-tellings of the Alabasta and Drum saga. They aren't bad, especially Chopper's, some dramatic sequences are very touching. They made a great use of the soundtrack, or lacking thereof.

I will place Movie 11 (One Piece 3D: Straw Hat Chase) here because it doesn't fit with the remaining ones. This may as well be a special: it's only 30 minutes long, most of the Strawhats barely appear, it doesn't feature a villain-based adventure, and it's in a graphic format never used again. Take it as a slice-of-life episode, and it's enjoyable.

Movie 10 (Strong World) is a turning point, because this is when OP movies became "films", Oda started to get involved, some original canon elements were dropped in, and there were theatrical releases. The difference in quality (at least plot-wise) is immediately clear. Strong World is the last movie set before the timeskip (excluding movie 11), and it may well be my favorite.

Movie 12 (Z) is probably close second. The villain is a great character, and I LOVED the inclusion of Aokiji and Kizaru, how different they were, the implications they brought to the plot.

Movie 13 (Gold) is okay. Enjoyable. Once again, good villain, nice setting, good animation.

Movie 14 (Stampede) has a special place in my heart because it included the Kid Pirates, and Kid & Killer have a few scenes. Buuuut if I have to be honest, the plot is quite weak and, if you take off the (scarce) screen time of my beloved, it's a little boring.

And finally! The most recent, movie 15, Red. I haven't had the chance to watch it yet because it didn't get a theatrical release where I live, so I'm waiting for the DVD to be out. What I can say is that I've watched reviews from my two favorite OP youtubers (Tekking101 and Sawyer7mage), and they were not particularly impressed with it. My best friend also watched it and found it incredibly boring, so my hopes aren't really too high. I think they went waaaay too hard on the marketing for this one, they pushed Shanks and Uta SO MUCH. (Also it doesn't help that I'm one of the very few people that don't really care about Shanks, huh). I heard the songs and they were amazing, Ado is a masterclass singer. I read about the plot and I do think some details are quite interesting, like Uta's whole psychology and possibly the ending (?). I guess I'll have to update my opinion when I actually watch the movie.

That's all for now. Feel free to ask for more details if you want.

Ah another Azul Stan/Simp! Well met ^_^ might I ask if you have any tumblrs/AO3s that you recommend for good Azul or even Tweed fics? I'm in the midst of writing one-with a good few chapters out-and am looking for inspiration/ other perspectives

Wawawa hello!!

Frankly, I’m very picky about Twst fanfics, so much so that I don’t really pick up on them. In general, for Twst fics, I recommend @advernia and @hunting-season because the way they think as they write their ideas is so beautiful. It’s pretty different from the typical yume content you see in the general fandom space, which I really appreciate, and they really touch on the canon while weaving it into their art.

There’s another fanfic author that I like called @zgvlt . They’re very famous for their long one-shots, and I really really aspire to write as well as they do. Their style draws in a lot of people due to its colloquial writing, something that I really want to be able to do. 😭 And even if their scenarios use common tropes in the fandom, it’s very clear that they’ve thought deeply on how a character would interact with or react to a situation without letting too much bias cloud their vision. I know they’ve done a Sebek and Jade oneshot. This one Azul fic they did is to die for, though. It takes the common “Azul overthinks his first date with you” trope, but it really pokes and prods at Azul’s way of looking at life. Tell me to judge the characterization, and I will be able to connect several lines in that fic to actual card lines Azul said in the game and say, “OP really studied him”. Highly recommended read. Now if only I can remember who’s this lovely person. 🤠

There is also this really wonderful tweels/Azul fic written back when Octavinelle came out in JP. I highly recommend it because I think OP has one of the best ways of writing Floyd.

When it comes to writing Octavinelle, I want you to keep in mind to balance their character traits. It is so common to see people lean to one way when it comes to the three of them: Azul’s crybaby vs. capitalist sides, Jade’s mushroom loving vs. sadistic sides, Floyd’s moody (often perceived to be cute) vs. feral sides. Yes, every character needs to have that balance, but Octavinelle especially is boxed into one character trait or another, which are often two extremes, when they can have both traits. It’s not that Azul being a crybaby suddenly means all semblance of confidence has and always will be faked—no, Azul can have both the confidence and stride and the sensitivities that he tries to hide. Jade can both be the boy who cares about his friends and his plants and the boy who haunts everyone’s dreams. Floyd can be moody, but he’s also both a mad genius and a really honest person. I especially want to emphasize on the latter because it’s thanks to Floyd that we even have a lot of details regarding past Azul and Jade. 😭

If you’re really stuck on how either of them would react a certain way, go back to the canon. Read their stories and card lines. A single line already communicates their mindsets and therefore gives you an idea on how they would react to something.

Good luck with writing! 😉

hiii! hope you’re doing well!! i was wondering if i could get a match up? preferably w a guy pls

appearance wise: i’m 5’7, so taller for a girl, a little chubby, super pale, i have big freckles all over my face and shoulders, i also have dark circles (that paired with pale skin makes me look a little dead), kind of droopy hazel eyes, black hair, i have both nostrils pierced plus a few different ear piercings, some tattoos, a lot of scars (from surgeries and different things), and i really love alternative fashion so i tend to wear mostly black, but i’m still pretty hyperfeminine when it comes to clothes and makeup and stuff.

other stuff abt me: i’m pretty shy until i get to know someone, i have really bad social anxiety, but then i’m usually pretty goofy. i love making ppl laugh it’s my favorite. i have the sense of humor of a 16 year old boy though (i think fart jokes are so funny). i tend to anger quickly and am generally kind of angsty. i really love horror in any kind of form, but especially movies. i also really love vampires. i’m neurodivergent x3 lol. been through a lot of trauma. i also really love making art and seeing other people’s art. i really love music, specifically alternative rock. i’m kind of a stoner. i’m also a nerd, i like collecting things (coins, antiques, figurines, comic books and manga). i love all animals but especially cats and bats. i’m a crybaby. i tend to show love by teasing ppl but i love being sweet too. i thinks that’s it???

sorry if that’s all over the place! and thank you for doing this <3 i appreciate it so much!

Author's Note: Thank you for your request, dear! You seem so cool omg 😍 Hope you'll enjoy it!

I ship you with...Eustass Kid!

(lovely gif is not mine, please show appreciation to the OP)

- I feel like you two will bond over your sense of humor. You'll get bonus points from him if you joke about Law with him.

- Your relationship will probably go from allies to friends and then lovers. Going from allies to friends will take a lot for him as he's used to trusting only a few people. But the last two stages are extremely close because once he considers you a close friend, he will feel more comfortable around you and understood. And so, he will realize that he feels something more for you.

- Look, I'm going to say it, Kid might check you out on multiple occasions because he thinks you're so neat with the tattoos and piercings and overall aesthetic. Plus, the hyperfeminine vibe is a contrast to his liking.

- The fact that you're a bit shy at times and because you have social anxiety, he will be both your lover and your guard in the sense that he'll absolutely wreck anyone who might put you in a nasty situation. No one messes with you without consequences.

- Kid noticed some hints about your traumas and wants to help. However, he's so damn frustrated that he does not know how. He won't tell you anything, not wanting to make you feel uncomfortable. He's just going to let you know that he will always be there for you if you decide to share your past with him. He has been through a lot as well so he knows how that burden feels.

- Please, playfully tease him for enjoying your sweet kind of affection. You'll get to see such a pretty blush on this man's face.

- You both tend to anger quickly and because of this you can either calm one another down or make a sum out of that anger. He won't get angry at you, knowing about your anxious tendency. However, if you ever decide to put yourself in danger, that's when he'll get angry with you.

- I feel like Kid will not admit that he also collects things and that won't stop him from teasing you about it, playfully of course. Jokes aside, I can see him getting really curious about what you're collecting.

-He also enjoys alternative rock from time to time. The moment he enjoys it the most is when he's fixing something in his workshop and your favorite tunes are playing and he can also hear you humming that song.

- Talking about stuff to do in his workshop, he'll love it to have you close by making art as he, again, is fixing something.

- Horror movies? Count him in. He would propose a marathon with you and his whole crew.

I finished Cowboy Bebop! Also icon change!

So I was gonna make an icon change sooner, butttt I got stuck deciding between these two:

Or

Cuz CLEARLY I ship Spike and Faye! HOW COULD I NOT?! THE BANTERRRR AHHHHH THE FLIRTING I CANT! Urhvydfufa

As for the second! It’s just so soft and makes me all 🥺

It was especially hard to choose after the ep when Ed left! Geez I cried! XD

So I decided to wait til I finished the series!

Which I finished last night and I’ll be honest.. the ending wasn’t that great!

Like I expected to SOB!! XD But I didn’t!!! I didn’t even tear up!! I was sad! But I was more unsatisfied and confused!! And a tad salty?!

Like you build up Julia THIS WHOLE DANG TIME! For her to LITERALLY die 8 mins inthe last ep, right after she just came back into my Spikey boy’s life! Like I honestly saw that as bad writing! Plus the whole 2 eps felt so chopy! Like we didn’t even see Spike mourn!! HE JUST GOT HIS PIECE HE CLAIMS HE WAS MISSING, BACK, AND YOU HAVE THE AUDACITY TO KILL HER 8mins IN AND NOT HAVE HIM MOURN! BARLEY SHOW AN OUNCE OF SADNESS?!??

It felt so weird to me and made me upset!

I’m sorry but I literally LAUGHED when she died!! Like I never cared for her! And even when I met her, she never caught my attention! She’s such a plain character, I’m sorry! Built up just to die right off the bat!

It would’ve been more poetic to have them die side by side as Visous threatened would happen if she didn’t kill Spike!

Which she didn’t, so boom! Easy set up! Have them die side by side, fighting against Viscous!

What happened was too sloppy! I’m sorry but it was!

Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE THIS SHOW SO MUCH!

But when it came to Julia, I lost intrest immediately! Especially the ending 2 eps! It was a mess!

Tho of course I loved my Faye and Spike moment!! X3

Speaking of, I’m not really upset that they didn’t become canon, I already knew they weren’t going to, and that Spike was going to “die”! I was just living with the moments I got from them!

LIKE DANG! THE BANTER AND FLIRTS! THE FLIRTING IN THAT ONE EP WITH THE PYSCHO GUY AT THE FAIR!

NOT TO MENTION HER SAVING HIM MANY TIMES AND HIM HER!

THIS SCENE RIGHT HERE!! ^^^^^ MAY I JUST SCREAM OVER HIS SOFT CHUCKLE TO HER QUESTIONING WHERE THEY WERE WHEN SHE WOKE DURING THAT HOSPITAL EP?! HE STAYED THERE AND WAITED FOR HER TO WAKE!!! EXCUSE ME!??? THAT IS SOFT RIGHT THERE! AND HIS SOFT CHUCKLE/SMILE HE GIVES HER! I SWEAR SOME EPS END SO UNSATISFYINGLY IN THIS SHOW!!

Anyway! What was I getting at? Oh right! XD While I may be a tad upset, at the same time I’m not! X3

I’m just more upset with the end!

Well at least I have a lot of fics to go through for my ship! X3 I’ve been waiting to finish in oreder to read them!

Anywayyy!!

Clearly my new icon is:

And there’s the artist! X3 Dang this is such a pretty art!🥺

Besides all this! I really really loved this show!! The op became my new jam urjvyduvyf XD

Oh and I loved this crazy family of Cowboys and girls! X333

Oh and cowdog! X3

Geez I miss them already! X,D

Jet was amazing and I love him and he’s such a dad! Fight me! XD

Ed is crazy and precious! XD Love her!

And dang EIN I LOVE YOUUU!!🥺🥺🥺 The fact Ed And Ein has such a bond, my dang heart!!

Faye was always a pleasure to watch!! X3

And of course the one and only Spike! GEEZ HE KILLED ME SO MANY TIMES! HE’S SO PRETTY LIKE DANG SPIKE?!?! HOW COME EVEN THE WAY YOU WALK IS SO DANG ATTRACTIVE?! HUH!????

Geez he’s so illegal!

Anyway I’ll stop here and leave y’all off with Faye and Spike! X3

HEYYY ITS ME MYSTERIOUS ANON WHO PROVIDED THE ESSAYS WORTH OF VSCEST SMUT CONTENT AND.

1. OTHER ANON, I SAW THAT TWITTER ART AND I *THINK* YOU'RE THE ARTIST AND JUST KNOW I ALMOST ACTUALLY CRIED (/POS) UPON SEEING IT. I DIDNT BUT I DID SCREAM INTO MY PILLOW FOR REAL THO WHEN I SAW THE YONJI ONE. I ACTUALLY GASPED IRL OUT OF JOY LIKE YOU HAVE NO IDEA

ahem. apologies for yelling!!! but 2. op please do NOT delete ur twitter post (unless You want to, ofc) of my writing!! it made me so very happy to see that you liked my stuff sm that you went thru the effort of putting it on another site- like that is SO heartwarming and kind tf?? 🥺💗❤💙🖤💚

BUT happy yelling aside, im here to do my job and provide more content for ye. of many flavors, actually!! but ill start w this one and then probably continue my insane vscest ramblings in other asks lmao. if you don't vibe with this Mashup of characters then feel free to ignore this :]] <3<3

so. tumblr user baashu. i saw that you were in a ronami mood on Bird App. so. hear me out, maybe. robin, nami, and reiju all have a sleepover (emphasis on the Sleep part, but no one other than those 3 has to know that ;]) on the sunny!! reijus visiting, as she does

and sanji, hearing about this so-called sleepover through the grapevine, decides he's going to be a good nakama and little brother and surprise them with their favorite snacks and drinks!! sleepovers are always better with good provisions, especially for ones that go all night long

however. sanji was not expecting to open that door (yes it was unlocked for plot purposes and he didnt knock because he had like 7 different plates in his hands let me HAVE this) and see his 3 favorite girls going down on one another.

that boys cigarette fell STRAIGHT out his mouth- a tiny noise escaping him as all 3 girls heads snapped to look at him. he was ready to bolt SO fast, throwing the food he made as gently as he could onto a nearby counter and saying sorry about 40 times per second. he wasnt even halfway out the door before an array of arms sprouting from the floor dragged his ass towards the bed

you KNOW those girls are (lovingly, teasingly) bullying him the whole time, calling him sweetly degredating names. yet they refused to do more than that- not allowing him to touch/participate and yet refusing to let him leave the room

nami calling him a pervert, talking about how for every minute he's in there he gets 5% more debt added to what he already owes her (reijus head was between her thighs as she said all this, btw). robins flirtatiously scolding him about bad manners, leaning over to run her fingers across his cheek and neck as namis head layed on her naked lap. and reijus mouth was too busy to comment, but every once in a while she let out a giggle of agreement when one of her other two partners said something that really made blood drip out of sanjis nose

and once pretty boy was all hot and heavy, the only reason he was locked in place being the disconnected arms restricting his movements? they all take their sweet, sweet time in pleasing him.

AND HES NOT FUCKING COMPLAINING LMAO. this idiot got not one, not two, but THREE hot women to dom him, somehow, by just showing up at the right time. he's taking everything they put him through in stride, whether that be sudden overstimulation or tortuously slow edging, he's loving All Of It

they go the rest of the night until the sun is halfway up, the only reason they let him go being because if they didnt, luffy would come barging in, asking when and why breakfast hadnt been made

and so sanji walks out with an exhausted sense of satisfaction, rumpled close, weak knees, and a dopey smile on his face as he thinks about what to make that day to thank his lovely ladies for this equally as lovely gift

...or i should say he *limps* out, actually. what. you think all of of those girls didn't peg that man until he was screaming???

HAHAH OKOK IM DONE IM DONE I HOPE THIS WAS ALRIGHT AND NOT OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE??? you says you ship allsan so. i hold this rarepair of mine up for you to look at with big eyes and shakey hands lmao

ANYWAYS i need to go write like. actual vscest now that i can post on ao3 someday. uh. see you oshdafafafafwy??? <3<3

AS SOON AS YOU PUT ROBIN NAMI AND REIJU IN THE SAME SENTENCE I KNEW THIS WOULD BE GOOD

THEY'RE LIKE THE OFFICIAL BULLYING SANJI SQUAD FOR ME! And sure reiju might go soft on him because reasons, but she has no problem teasing him and calling him sweet names. She can just let the harder stuff for robin and nami while she busies herself with their bodies instead

And imagining all of robin's arms and hands sprouting everywhere and completely pinning sanji down?? It's so good and so hot, so effortless for her and so effective. Not that sanji really needs to restrained, only look from nami and he'd be motionless, but it's just the fact that robin wants to do it and she knows sanji will melt and let them do whatever they want with him afterwards

I can totally picture nami playing hot and cold with him, one second praising him for being a good boy, on the other calling him a pervert, then saying he's so good to them, so attentive, then saying he's crossed a line and he should've knocked, such a bad, naughty boy that he is

Sanji's lucky he didn't need a blood transfusion after all that. But I mean, reiju was right there, he would've been fine and it would've been worth it

Also I just have to mention how sweet it was of sanji to think about getting them snacks 😭 I think he deserves all the praises just for that

#anon i look forward to anything you decide to post on ao3 i just know it'll be incredible #vinsmokecest #and other ships that unfortunately i won't tag to avoid ppl shrieking in my inbox

Season 3′s Inability to Meet Reader Expectations

Having read all of The Breaker’s Season 3 thus far, I understand readers’ legitimate gripes with the pacing, artwork, and decision to switch protagonists midway through the story. What bothers me especially is that Jeon, the author, was seemingly oblivious to the obvious backlash that would ensue. Backlash is nothing new. I remember all the complaints that occurred with New Waves, but the writing team’s lack of understanding of their target audience is highly concerning.

Regardless of people’s nationality, all readers have the same expectations for comics: (1) proper storytelling, (2) acceptable art, and (3) a compelling main cast. You can read more in-depth about people’s expectations here.

I have a background in literature and teach literature for a living. Plus, I'm a published author. Because of my background, I'm more understanding, patient, and forgiving than the typical reader. I'm acutely understanding of editorial mandates, for example. What Jeon did though is highly unusual and ill-advised for writers, regardless of whether they happen to be newbies or veterans. Switching main characters - your point-of-view character - is fine. Switching protagonists - the character whom the plot revolves around - however, especially halfway through the story, is something else entirely. It's a major no-no. There are serious repercussions when you do so, and every medium I've seen that pulled a stunt like this ended up flopping. This is equivalent to finding porn with the hottest girl in it but all you see and hear is the guy.

I don't have a problem with introducing a new character as Season 3's deuteragonist. Furthermore, I think there's room involve 3 generations. The problem lies in the execution, and this is where Ha Jae falls flat. He simply doesn't hold any major plot importance on his own. He's Shioon 2.0. Same background. Same built. Same fighting stance. Same characterization. Same hype. Ad infinitum. The forced parallelism wreaks of ad hoc writing. Compare and contrast the following. Here's an example of proper writing:

Ha Jae, on the other hand, is an example of improper writing. He severely damages the storyline about Shioon being a special person for whom the growth speed was phenomenal (a few months). To get this far he had to suffer a lot and had to have a remarkable mindset (win or die). Now a new, filler character arrives and starts doing some incredible s**t in just a few days.

As fans it forces us to wonder if all the story built years was not a lie at all, that what Shioon has is actually nothing special, he just took some drugs and voila he's op as hell.

It's not just aggravating, it's painful to read because it changes the universe and the uniqueness of characters, especially the main one that we learned to love.

Jeon could have done things very differently, such as introducing your typical hotblooded hero with a dream. Having a kid who is always in trouble and loves to fight would contrast quite differently from Shioon. (It'd work really well with Jinie too.) In addition, this development would allow Jeon to explore the other side of bullying, with this hypothetical deuteragonist serving as a mirror of a young GMR rather than being Shioon 2.0 with a fugly design. We already know what Shioon's training was like, but we never saw how GMR learned martial arts.

There are plenty of ways too on making the kid join the Murim:

They're an exchange student

They're a spy from the Illuminati (they're stated to exist around ch. 88 in NW)

They're being bullied by Murim-Ins

They're an untrained student whose master was killed by GMR/SUC

Had Jeon gone a route without regurgitating material like he did with Blue Boy, the new kid would be much more interesting because I truly believe that having another protagonist is not the problem, the problem is the sheer laziness of making him a copy of Shioon.

Part 3 was supposed to be about Illuminati shenaningans and the Shinmujengpe. That's what readers, specifically long-term readers, were anticipating with excitement, not the current story we're getting. Moving away from your core audience’s expectations is also why Eternal Force has flopped so bad thus far. The writing team (i.e., the editor, the author, the illustrator, etc.) quit caring about readers' hierarchical expectations: a good story, a compelling main cast, and acceptable artwork. Hopefully they listen to reader feedback, otherwise Eternal Force is going to flop internationally like how it flopped in Korea.

Heavenly Delusion EP2

aka: NO ONE HERE IS NORMAL

Ah we get the OP this week and that real quick frame of a “game over” screen with our two protags with the options being “continue?” or “kill” is very concerning!

Wait what’s the back of Maru’s hoodie say? “We are neither machines nor..” what? It gets cut off!

The art style keeps changing and honestly I kinda dig it? Especially when it goes line-less, like that once sequence of Kiruko running where it literally looks like she’s chasing her outlines.

I was so focused in trying to figure stuff out that I didn’t really listen to the song.. but I’ll give it another listen now. And I like it.

What’s going on with wheelchair boy’s arm? Is that why we always see him in a bed or wheelchair? Or is this mark a result of something weird?

I’m all for loving whomever you want but aren’t y’all just children?? like that was more than just a simple kiss man!

The hell is with these kids? Last ep it was Taka doing parkour and now this Kuku chick is jumping and clinging to trees like a damn frog.

Why. are kids. sending shower pics. to each other??

Tokio really does have a collection of Kona’s drawings. I’m sure they got some kind of meaning.

What on earth is in the window? Also, this man-eater has a name? Hiruko? What, were they people before?

“She fed us some sort of drug to put us to sleep.” Yeah I thought of that last week too after the fact. Maru fell asleep way too quick for someone who is always up longer than Kiruko, and the inn owner didn’t eat any herself either.

Oh hold up, I can read the back of the hoodie now. “We are neither machines or game pieces.” … That still concerns me greatly! Could they really be part of a game? Or a dream reality? Maybe they got multiple lives? Answers would be GREAT right about now.

That certainly is one hell of a creepy monster, what the fuck? It’s got different attributes of several animals and it has ultrasonic whip things or something?

I love that even in the middle of an intense chase scene they still choose to give our protags some funny faces.

Ah shit, that thing is the lady’s son? That’s why she didn’t want our duo to go out and hunt it..yet she had a huge gun herself.

“I was almost eaten by one, so I know..” Well that explains her scars from before.

Yeaaahh I knew that death was coming. Rest in peace lady. So much for thinking that monster was protecting her.

Aw, I like how Maru accuses Kiruko of only thinking about defeating the monster instead of the lady who just died but turns out she was already shedding tears.

How do you both expect to kill this creature though..? The gun is out of shots and Maru, I know you were strong against those thugs last time, but could your hits really hurt this thing?

… Huh? He touched it and some weird spirit hand went inside it to crush a heart? Maybe? Help??

What was this Great Disaster huh? But damn Kiruko really is bad with numbers, she can’t remember how old she was for anything.

“The only thing I can kill is Hiruko!” Oh is that the collective name of the monsters? I thought it was just the last one individually.

Jesus christ that was such a hard ass fall! Taka has gotta be dead. Or got a concussion or broken something. No way in hell he gets up fine from that.

BRO HOW THE FUCK ARE YOU LIVING??

“There’s a guy with the same face as me out there somewhere.” Okay but how do YOU know that Maru?? And why we gotta inject this person with a drug? This show is good at keeping SECRETS.

Who’s this Mikura now? Oh, his mom maybe? Or whoever this lady that give Kiruko the job and gun to protect Maru.

And she has the same kind of weird marking over her body as the kid from earlier with the wheelchair.. that boy ain’t gonna make it huh?

Oh god so there really were crocs in the water they just sailed over. That’s hilarious. They had every reason to freak out then!

They’re both very trusting to eat the nice food these farmers prepared for them when the last person who offered them a meal drugged them!

Kiruko does kinda look like this Kiriko Takehaya kart racer but not quite the same, however she did react to the whole “killing your brother” thing.. so maybe they are similar? Somehow? Maybe it’s like whatever is going on with Maru and Tokio and how those two look alike.

OH LOOK. A symbol with some kind of bird in it. How very Promised Neverland of you!

Oh, well I picked up the little hints that Maru might’ve felt some kinda way towards Kiruko but I wasn’t actually expecting him to outwardly say them?!

“My body is a woman’s, but in here, my mind is a man’s. So.. I’m a man.” Are we saying like..by choice? In which case good for you. Or like.. due to some crazy experiment because that’s the vibes this show gives me with these kids being anything but normal? And maybe that’s why she..? he? this person can never remember the correct age.

Mmm the ending is nice too. I might like the song better than the OP? Also, Taka gives me Don (TPN) energy for some reason.

Hiya! For the OP ask: #3. Favorite romantic ship with Shanks? And Vivi? Hawkins too? #4. Favorite platonic ship with Usopp? And Robin?

I will be answering both of these from my pov as a writer. As a reader, I will read anything and will give you a 10 star rating no matter the pairing. Always. I found a random ZoroxBuggy knife kink PWP years ago (that is lost forever because I can't remember the name) and it was awesome. I recommend it.

3. Favorite romantic ship with Shanks? And Vivi? Hawkins too? I like to believe that Shanks had a preteen, puppy love romance with Buggy. While Buggy may have always had feelings for Shanks, he never acted on it until they were 13 and had their first pints of ale, got drunk and Shanks noticed how Buggy always looks at him with dreamy eyes. Since then Shanks instigated all their interactions and urged Buggy to open up and explore each other more. When the crew disbanded Shanks grew up and met new people, leaving Buggy behind to pine for him; begrudgingly so. It's one of the reasons why Buggy's so pissed off at Shanks now as adults. Of course Buggy got over it and no longer has feels for Shanks, not in the last decade or so, but getting over him was NOT easy especially when it wasn't even in his agenda to get under him, that was all Shanks' doing.

Shanks is now married to Makino and they have a baby boy together. I haven't seen Film Red yet, as it has not yet been released to the public, but whoever the fuck Uta is, she is not canon and I will be viewing this film as a very expensive fanfiction. Just like HP and the cursed child. She ain't real.

With Vivi, I do enjoy reading her shipped with Ace (there's this one fic I read ages ago that I can't find again, I thought it was Water Sector but alas I was wrong) but in my own writing Ace is with Smoker and only Smoker. Vivi: I don't mind her with Koza, I think she might actually marry him one day in canonverse... maybe. I like the idea of her with Nami, just not sure if i can write that. I mean literally I can, but I don't know if I can write it well. My heart's not in it just yet. I noticed when color coding names, Vivi's partners are all orange. It's fate

Hawkins... This is hard. When HAK (Hawkins/Apoo/Kid) alliance first came up, I immediately shipped him with Apoo. Why? Because rule 34 that's why. Like, I had it aaaall planned out. The meet cute, the debacles, the inconveniences, the second meet cute, all of it. It was like a Hallmark movie where Hawkins was a 30+ year old head strong business person that moved to a small town on a whim in the milk of autumn and met an eccentric local that pissed him off every which way and what, but they had exactly one, count it, ONE thing in common and now they're madly in love. Hawkins and Apoo..... Why did I do this? I don't even remember what it was anymore!! Wano arc came and *spoilers* the bitches were bitches and now I hate them Fuck their love, they can die alone.

That being said, ship Hawkins with his black cat mink crew member Faust because fuck it I don't care anymore. Joey Jordison looking bastard can go to hell (this makes me so sad because I fucking love Joey Jordison so fucking much. RIP #1)

4. Favorite platonic ship with Usopp? And Robin? Usopp is technically in a platonic relationship with everyone accept Kaya. But if we want to get into the could-have-been relationships, first off is Nami. I like to think she fell in love with the nerd some time after Little Garden or Drum but he shot her down and she was hurt for a while but got over it. I can kind of see her in a Shakky/Rayleigh type marriage with Luffy, but that's more like a "I'm your wife so you better listen to me" kinda thing because someone needs to be able to legally control the rubber idiot and also she gets 50% of everything he has so it's also an investment. But this isn't about Nami!!

Second chb is with Sanji. I love seeing SanUso art and they look so great together. In a perfect world I think SanUso could definitely be a strong and healthy thing, but this is One Piece and not a single thing is even remotely healthy about anything.

Third (and fourth) chb is if Usopp had stayed behind on Water 7. Franky joined Luffy and left, leaving Usopp all alone with no one on a completely new island. No friends, no Merry; nothing. He probably would have started working for Iceburg and became Paulie's apprentice. His ship designs would be highly sought for and he more than likely would have invented a lot of stuff of the yagara bulls and he also probably would have a Sogeking statue somewhere like how the dwarves have a Noland bust in Tontatta Kingdom. The entire island would be his friends but the two people that would love him the most, and he would love the most would be Kiwi and Mozu. They're just a couple of years older than him (Kiwi was 20, Mozu 19 when they met SHP), they're Franky's backup dancers/little sisters, they know the ins and outs of the underworld and black market, AND they look like Banchina. HIS MOTHER. He would have followed them around like a lost puppy calling them "Big Sisses Big Sisses". They don't know why he looks that them weird sometimes, why he always makes sure they're comfortable and makes them tea, like, ALWAYS, all the time. TEA. He even has extra blankets out in case they get cold because one, his mom, and two, they wear bikinis everywhere. They might get cold. He'd subconsciously revert back to his 10 year old self talking care of his sickly mom, K&M would more than likely get fed up because A) they're older than him and B) not in their own house you treat them like little kids. It would be very awkward but in the end I think Franky Family would have turned into Usopp Pirates 2.0.

Robin's got a major broship with Zoro.

#yeah #Robin's was really short #thanks for the ask #anon #i have very many opinions about Usopp #I have very many thoughts hidden in my tags about him and his childhood #Usopp is my favorite straw hat and I wish him so much happiness #I think he would have loved it on Water 7 but I wouldn't have accomplished his dreams #not unless he built his own his and set sail with a new crew as captain #Captain Usopp #Go D Usopp #ShanksxBuggy #aka #Shuggy #is one of my favorite ships #I love it so much because it hurts #it's all puppy love and first times and miscommunication and unintentional backstabbing #mostly shanks not reading the mood and buggy not being completely open about his feelings #they're teenagers in love what do you expect #their romance ends so badly buggy is never the same afterwards #shanks can suck a fucking egg. he just goes on with his life like nothing #gets married and has a kid. right in the same fucking ocean where his ex is hiding out in #really shanks? fucking really? Buggy is RIGHT FUCKING THERE #so many opinions on this #BrainDeadAsks #BrainDeadAnswers

So I just found out that there’s been some confusion between the Genderqueer flag, and the old UK suffragette flag that’s been co-opted by TERFs. Rather than give up our nice flag to the people who want us silenced and dead, I figured I’d offer up a temporary solution :)

Hiii ok so!!! Folks!!! When people were saying Don't Interact With Corporate Accounts because they will try to emulate tumblr culture

⬇️ This Is The Sort Of Posts They Were Telling You Not To Interact With ⬇️

This blog started posting in june of this year and 100% of their posts are totally straight-laced ads for switch games and promotions. Almost all posts are complete flops with under 10 notes with a handful getting up to maybe 200 notes. This post that mentions bowser's hot balls is the only one to break past that (for obvious reasons). Most of the notes on this one are people being reasonably incredulous "is this a parody account??" "they knew what they were doing" etc. I get it, but Don't Do That.

They are testing the waters and trying to figure out how to get ads past your adblockers. When you reblog a post like this for any reason, they succeed at doing this to every one of your followers.

Do Not Engage Means: Do Not Fucking Engage!

My #1 post of 2022

If I can get tooth-rottingly sincere for a second? TERFs and radfems are destined to lose in the end. A movement centered on hating others- especially a demographic that is and always has been present in every culture and group throughout history, and always will be- is utterly unsustainable. It is forced to prey on the vulnerable in order to recruit, and that kind of hatred just... weighs on you, colours your perceptions and makes you unable to engage with the world in a healthy way, drains you until you’re just an empty husk. If every trans person were wiped off the face of the earth today and every mention of us redacted from all history, there would still be kids born tomorrow who look at their assigned gender and go ‘hm. don’t like that’ and do something different. They would find people just like themselves and we would persist. I have no idea what the world is going to look like when I am long gone, but I know for certain that there will be trans people in it, just as there will be gays and lesbians, there will be bisexuals, aces, aros, nonbinary folk and EVERY infinitesimal point within the queer spectrum, because its simply not possible to expunge us from the world without eradicating all of humanity. That’s the thought that keeps me going, you know? Even leaving aside gender stuff- the urge to self-create and self-express, and the urge to love ourselves and love each other- it’s woven into our very natures! No matter what happens, that light can’t be snuffed out. Thank you for your time, and stay hydrated.

omg you sound so cool tbh!! film and theatre seem like such interesting things to study! do you watch movies for homework and then like, discuss? or write analyses? what does one actually studies as a film major? and by electronics do you mean like, lighting and sound and special effects or something else? sorry I'm very unfamiliar with this field but I'd love to learn more from you <3

I'd like to learn more about your pets also :) preferably with pictures! I personally am heavily a cat person but always open to give love to critters of all shapes and sizes (if they're not bugs. bugs deserve love too of course but they won't be getting any from me sorry)

I am an international relations major! seems a bit useless in the current political climate tbh, it was different when I started, but at least it's very heavy on languages, which I love. When I'm not slacking off on getting this degree I draw (badly), write (decently I hope) and play video games, mostly rpgs (awfully but I'm having fun). I love reading but never seem to be able to force myself to actually do it lmao. my fave genres are fantasy and sci-fi :) I write mostly fanfiction but have some original projects in the works too. but yeah. mostly fanfiction of course

you listed so many things about yourself but I'm not able to squeeze everything into one ask so that'll be it for today <3

aww, thank you!! for me personally, i’m in the production side of things (though i have taken analyses classes, and i love them!! they’ve been some of my favorites, actually). for me, i’m into the writing/directing most (though i’m very willing to help people anywhere i can! and lighting/sound is close to getting me like writing and directing, if i’m entirely honest). and yes!! i’ve been working on lighting and sound (and the next show we do, i actually get to be sound board op for!! i’m pretty excited—i just found out friday, too!!) and that’s absolutely okay—i was too!! i’m still not entirely sure what all it entails, if i’m fully honest, simply because while there’s a lot that stays the same there’s also a lot of little odd jobs you end up doing that give you variation (which is exactly what i was hoping for when i signed up for this, so it’s perfect!!)

AND YESSS it’s the same here!!!! i love my dog to death and back, but… i think i’m always going to have that immediate soft spot for all cats

this is baby, my cat!! he’s a sweet little boy that i affectionately bully all the time (and he keeps trying to pull LEAVES into my APARTMENT,)

and the bugs thing is very fair!! they’re very much not for everyone (i’ve been thinking about keeping bees or moths/butterflies, but haven’t gotten around to it yet… it’s a Future Project, maybe!)

you’re ALSO very cool???? international relations at least sounds like it’s super interesting, even if it feels like there’s not too much you can do with it right now—opportunities are sure to come!! especially if you like languages

!!!!!!! what kind of stuff do you like to draw? i love seeing art!! if there’s ever a time you want to/can share some, you’re always free to (but you also don’t ever have to if you don’t want to!!)

and god, i feel the reading thing so hard… it’s something that the brain has to let you do, and very often the brain really does just say “NO!”

i love sci-fi too!!!! and fantasy, though recently i haven’t been able to consume as much fantasy media as sci-fi… they’re both just such fun genres, it’s so fascinating to see how different writers view the things they can do with them and the way that you can see views of our real-world through them!!

and yes of course, that’s okay!! you seem so super cool, and i’m so excited to get to know you better!!

what other kind of music do you like?

my October watched! (i know it is mid November, college is rough, i did write the post in October as i completed the shows + movie though!)

Orange — it was rough but i was really glad kakeru lived in the end, in their parallel world. i was worried for a bit there when everyone was saying ‘you can’t change the past’ and kakeru was missing. but suwa suwa suwa… his character hurts so bad. The fact that his 26 year old self told his 16 year old self to basically sacrifice his own feelings in order for kakeru to live just hurt. especially when in car when they were all 26 and talking and Suwa basically says that he stole Naho from Kakeru, which he didn’t. and then everyone says if they could go back in time they wouldn’t root for suwa. They’d only root for kakeru. Everyone too was basically talking about Naho’s feelings in regards to kakeru like right in front of suwa too which felt rude asf at points. Idk, suwa’s character in particular, he just let himself get emotionally trampled and it was rough. i think naho’s character was really frustrating at times. she is just not very aware, and so it lead to misunderstandings. there was a time where Kakeru kept trying to hold her hand, and she was just confused. so overall very frustrating at times, but there was definitely a lot of cute moments. i did end up crying for like the last 15 minutes of the last episode. and not like sobbing or anything, but it was rough, i was very stressed watching it. tbf it was also like 3am at this point though. and while i was a suwa fan i definitely support kakeru and Naho in the end.

Ranking of Kings — I had taken a break from this one at some point, not because I didn’t enjoy it, I just get distracted and start watching something else lol. it happens more often than I’d like to admit, but I finished it and I’m really glad I did! this show made me feel so many emotions. I cried or felt like crying a multiple times throughout the show. Bojji is the best boy. He is so so kind and he deserves the world. Love that he and Kage were best buds. They’re so good man. Bojji’s fighting style is so cool, I’m glad it was centered around his strengths and while it may have been kind of op at times he absolutely deserves it. I really like the art in this one, especially just scenic shots. and i think the art suits the show really well. It was definitely darker than I had anticipated! I was kind of shocked at some of the scenes. but i think the violence that did happen made sense in the story. i really disliked the elixir daida had to drink, there’s a bit where they grind something up for it and i remember feeling so disgusted. also!! daida and Miranjo is so so weird!! If I was Hiling man, I would’ve said absolutely not. Daida may end up as king in the end but idc idc, i would not have let him make that choice. I’m really excited for Bojji’s future endeavors though!

Moriarty the Patriot — this is another one i has taken a break from and returned to. I really enjoyed it! I thought watching the crimes being set up was cool. This is one I’ll definitely go read the manga for. So many emotions in regards to this. Sherlock and William man… just bro… I don’t even know what to say. Crunchyroll put them in the enemies to lovers category so i think that explains my feelings well enough. i had to go tell my friend about them too. just Sherlock jumping after William, and the whole letter!! Letters in anime go crazy, man. They’re always so good.

Akira — I went into this blind, all I knew was cool motorcycle man, does a cool slide on his motorcycle that’s referenced in so so many things. (there’s compilation clips on YouTube, and it’s so cool to see how many different things have referenced it.) the violence? The weird blue children? Tetsuo’s massive fucking forehead? like insane. it was good though! tetsuo does kind of like immediately become a villain but tbf he is 15 and just became like almost the most powerful thing on earth so what can you do yknow? i did not like the sexual assault scene with kaori that did catch me off guard, and while i understand why it happened, I don’t think it was really necessary. i was not anticipating what Akira would turn out to be, and i certainly wasn’t expecting the gross flesh thing Tetsuo turns into, I’m so glad my desk faces the wall and not my roommate because I know I was watching my computer like (o_o). i did mention earlier about the violence, like i said i went into it blind so i was a bit surprised by the violence at first but i definitely got used to it, some of the deaths or at least injuries that happened were so brutal. it was crazy. i think if you’re bothered by violence than i wouldn’t recommend this lol. i thought the silhouettes of the characters were interesting! definitely indicative of the era with the skinny pants and big tops. kaneda’s whole red look, alongside the matching bike goes hard though. even when kaneda wasn’t in all red, and just had the yellow top on bro was killing it. i thought his little outfit with the pink polo and khaki pants was funny, like my brother would wear that. i thought the soundtrack and colors for the movie were really cool. i think overall it was just a wild ride, and it was certainly a lot (not that that’s a bad thing, as i did enjoy the movie)

currently watching and/or reading - mp100 s3, chainsaw man, blue lock, spy x family cour 2, and one piece!
