i havent followed the manga in several months and im not interested in catching up again but has bakugo un-died yet. has deku saved him yet with the power of gay love. or is he still getting open heart surgery. has this boy been getting open heart surgery for the past 8 months.

#shut up pandora #bnha #boku no hero academia #katsuki bakugo #izuku midoriya #bakudeku #i guess #the first time bakugo Fucking McDied was pretty romantic #and i guess the second time deku did get pretty mad about it so fuck it im down #its shounen so dekus will they wont they with uraraka is so misogynistic #that his relationship with bakugo has become the greatest love story of all time #i jest ofc #even if they became canon RIGHT NOW the rest of the story is too mid for them to be even a particularly good love story #but its also the only relationship in bnha that i still care about after the disrespect they showed my girl momo #and the direction they went with the todoroki family #and the general plot progression #imma stop talking about that bc this is not a complain about bnha post this is a 'is bakugo still dead' post #but yeah although this is the only bnha ship i still care about i dont think horikoshis brave enough to make them canon #but if all the tjlc-ing from the bakudeku fans come true and they really do pull a fakeout and bkdk gets together #i will stomach the poor plot progression and hatred towards women and start following the manga again #but yeah if hes still dead horikoshi get on it???#it was dramatic the first few chapters but if you drag it out for several months ppl (me) are going to get tired of it and drop the series

Re-reading the comics and I totally forgot how dark they are

#zuko #zukaang #aang #atla zuko #atla aang #atla #avatar the last airbender #the promise #unpopular opinion maybe but i loved how nothing in this book was cut and dried and how everyones' trauma came back to haunt em #progress isn't linear so i don't mind zuko's behaviour here #he suddenly has a lot more pressure on him and he's obviously scared shitless he'll do the right thing etc. like shit just got real #super sad #aang didn't want to kill ozai but idk he was just being a friend to zuko here because zuko asked it of him #aang was obviously conflicted BUT he also wanted to uphold his duty to the world #which zuko totally sold him on and used as an argument for aang to honour the promise.#i can totally see that happening #i loved the ending too how zuko turned out to be right all along and it was the generational trauma that just convinced him he wasn't right #like is some of the characterization/plot contrived? sure totally! but wow i'm shocked to see how ice-cold the overall reception is #@tumblr stop messing w my tags and sticking them in the post body omg #atla spoilers

really actually kind of enjoy how the big lore moments are sort of quiet on a singular stream (or a small group!) instead of the events solely being the lore; i think there would be this hesitation to develop anything solo if the server reinforced this idea that Big Lore could only happen during scheduled events and days. instead the more narrative-progressing moments (take the baghera hybrid experiments revelation or the philza birdnapping for recent example) are very low-key and almost unhyped up— there’s no expectation for that kind of lore necessarily at the time which makes it more rewarding to experience as a viewer. big fan of how they do the events as player bonding time rather than serious narrative progression because it allows all the players (especially the ones who don’t engage in the rp side that much) to participate and get to know each another more; it’s very neat it’s really smart it’s nicely executed

#eleanor.txt #qsmp #tag expansion time get ready for the nuance #do i think that the events could be executed better in terms of like. coding / design. yes on occasion #i’ve seen some frustration that some players don’t take the events seriously enough and that it’s frustrating as a viewer #which i understand and empathize with i think there’s definitely A solution somewhere but i’m not sure exactly what it is tbh #i try not to criticize what i cannot personally solve i think they’re doing their best with what they’ve got #i also do believe that like the Expectation for Big Lore almost always backfires #it’s something u cannot win i think . the expectation will always in some way let you down #(especially re: character involvement seriousness of the stream amount progressed narratively contribution to general plot etc etc #there’s so many variables when you expect ‘lore’ and what that means to people)#i think there’s always some disappointed group when Big Lore starts to be hyped up & teased #whereas i see a lot less general complaints when it’s an unexpected moment (other than people upset they missed it—#arguably unavoidable whether you advertise the stream as lore focused or not)#there’s still Lore during the events things still occur information is still exchanged #but it’s not structured on lore. lore isn’t the foundation for the event it just occurs by implication #anyway. very good job qsmp impressive stuff very enjoyable

Do you have a Tone Deaf version of Clay Calloway?

(Perfectly fine if you don't. I was just curious, plus I love all your redesigns) 🦁🎸

SORRY THIS TOOK FUCKING FOREVER LMAO [been sitting in my inbox since FEBRUARY THIRTEENTH, HOLY SHIT :D]. YEAH, here he is :pppp a solid draft for you

Lowkey [highkey] gave up on the clothing wrinkles on the arms, but I still like how it turned out I think. I don't have much on him in terms of rewrite, but I do have some, so I'll dump it all here under the cut.

I swear I love asks, please feel free to say/ask whatever, I'm just horrible at answering in a reasonable time-frame because I always want to make it this beautiful masterpiece and end up turning all of them into full-on posts- or, at least I want to ~_~

Headcanonssss-

Ash gave him that button off her jacket [probably needs to be resized I'm realizing lol] [also I totally adopted this headcanon from someone elses post- might've been yours. Whoever came up with it I love it <3]

Born during the reformation that happened after the war- basically, nobody was really fighting anymore during this time, but some big people in power were still being stupid [aka: not letting their prisoners go]

So that would be somewhere around 1947? Which would put his age at 61 in my universe [which is in 2008- the times are pretty much random, nothing really lines up irl. Ignore how they use tech and other things that shouldn't have been invented yet lol]

He grew up when the Skunk Dolls were new and popular and stuff. And he loved them- so much that the band actually kinda inspired his music career

[Skunk Dolls also made loads of protest songs btw. War stuff]

Takes a ridiculous amount of care with his mane, and if he lets you touch it, that's a true sign of trust

So the Piglets always like to play with it, and Ash has given him braids a few times

He's had that scruffy red jacket since his early days

I should draw patches on it-

Ash probably'll give him a quill or two to put in it too with all the patches and repair stitches

He wears a lot of plaid, I just didn't wanna draw it <3

Rough and torn up clothes too

Everything he owns has some sort of smudge or tear in it from motorbiking and/or just being himself <3

His ears are pierced in almost every way imaginable, and when Ash found out, she went CRAZY

Cue her getting him to try on a bunch of stuff

He likes wrought iron jewelry and has never been a fan of anything with gemstones in it

Buster is terrified of him, but Clay is just kinda a blunt person and it doesn't mix well with Buster sometimes. They get along eventually tho. There was also some really bad timing with the circumstances of how they even met in the first place too lol-

Johnny is also. Super terrified.

Buster and him are like "Ahhh.... that guy scares the living daylights out of me." "Ohh, thank god it's not just me-"

He has a strange out-of-pocket interest in astrology.

And in herbology and plants in general, but he picked that up from Ruby. Astrology was all his, and it is the one thing he will "nerd out" over

Also the kind of guy to make fun of you for nerding out too

Making fun of people is his love language

So is giving people food

He's not great with his words and can find it hard to express love by just telling someone. Back to the bluntness thing, you can often find him accidentally offending someone and he doesn't even realize it

The troupe very quickly learned this and it's more of an endearing trait of his to them [and to most people who know him]

REALLY good cook. Fantastic, in fact. Probably one of the best chefs out of any of the characters.

Learned the hard way that enlisting Buster's help in the kitchen is a bad idea. Also Ash isn't great either, but he actually tries to teach her some of his recipes. And she's quickly improving

Buster was just being an idiot and forgot you shouldn't microwave tinfoil

Clay travels a lot, but spends most of his time in Calatonia [he technically still lives at his and Ruby's house, but he's super scared of accidentally closing himself off again, so he only visits to check up on the flowers and maintain the property pretty much]

He's like Ash's second [and very cool] dad. Which- also intimidates Buster quite a bit :D

I feel like their dynamic could be a sitcom. Clay is Ash's awesome dad and Buster is Ash's lame [endearing] and oddly unhinged and anxious dad who feels like he has to be as cool as Clay [and always fails heehee]

Clay is more entertained by Buster's ridiculous criminal record than horrified and I don't know if that's worrying or just a classic Calloway W

He's a very nonchalant person

Ruby's death is the only time I can really think he had a legitimate emotional break that wasn't just him being snappy [which is also pretty rare]

Clay's also like an uncle to the Piglets

He's kinda just taken up the role of "super awesome miscellaneous family member" for everyone at this point

He's back performing again after Sing 2- just not frequently or putting out any new songs [on his own at least- he might do a collaboration or two with Ash]

oh my GOD I love your isekai warriors au.... I love that the isekai trope is becoming a lot more popular, especially in anime... please tell me more about it!!

shaking ur hand rn hello fellow isekai anime/other mediums fan :3c FIRST lemme go on my tangent about this genre and my main inspo because wow this got way too long lol

isekai is total comfort food for me haha it's my go to genre of manga/manwha/webcomic reading whenever i'm feeling down and while i generally feel the genre is getting bloated and somewhat stale in anime, i still enjoy it quite a bit. It's a cute idea with a lot of potential, i just wish less of the shows went for the wish fulfillment route of things since we have so many by now.

mine is very inspired by a lot of korean manwha style stories in which the protag gets trapped in a show/game/book/etc. and has to deal with it, specifically what if you became the villain of a story. A lot of them play off the trope of the one dimensional evil villainess and how an average person would have to deal with coming into the body of someone like that and dealing with consequences. That, or it's the tragic villain, someone's who's life is marred by tragedy usually of their own doing.

The most interesting ones are those that play on how character archetypes would actually work in the story. The cold bad boy is just a shitty abusive guy, the shy guy who follows the girl is kind of a stalker, and so on.

One of my bigger inspirations was a plotline that also stuck out to me: a teen girl who died too soon and got reincarnated as the mother of the protagonist. obviously she has no clue what to do, she's a kid who wants to go home! And the only way she thinks she can is by ensuring the story goes as planned (and this of course is doomed from the start, unbeknownst to her, the villain is a reincarnater too and has already made tremendous changes). She dies and the reader never knows if she gets to go home or not. It's kind of this rough around the edges gem of an idea that I love and obviously had to steal for myself.

note for anyone getting intrigued by my descriptions uh a lot of these stories tend to be pretty shallow in their exploration. this subgenre consists a lot more of wish fulfillment/revenge fantasies comparatively to like a deep dive of "oh my god i've fucked up the narrative". Not to say they don't have interesting ideas! many are super interesting. just like. temper your expectations if you're going in

originally the story was gonna be set in a canon arc but that felt boring so i decided to just make up a whole story for it

The story is meant to be a (loving) poke at old fanfiction, common tropes in the aforementioned subgenre of isekai, and just a general ""cliche"" Warriors series (in the human universe here, I figured it's call Battlers/Battle Cats or something stupid lmao). In this story, Frostblaze is born into [ONE OF THE FOUR FAKE CLANS I HAVENT FIGURED OUT NAMES YET IM SORRY]. She's the born to an unnamed mother who tragically died of illness when she was just a young baby and has no clue who her father is.

She's isolated from her peers due to her eyes which some believe are an omen of her unnaturality. This only worsens when she is apprenticed to their Clan leader and causes Honeypaw, the daughter of the Clan leader, to become enraged with jealousy. She is one of Frostpaw's worst tormentors in the early parts of the book and eventually, during a battle, tries to off Frostpaw herself....but is killed by Frostpaw's love interest, the dashing and handsome (if a bit stupid) Eaglepaw of [INSERT RIVAL CLAN HERE].

The two hit it off (Honeypaw is an after thought at this point) and work together to stop the eeevviilll leader of uuhh eviiiiilll clan. They win, live happily ever after, Frost is actually their Clan leader's daughter and Honeypaw is her half-sister and blah blah blah.

At least, they're supposed to. Honeypaw, out hunting, is hit by a truck at the same time a human is. Human wakes up as a cat about to be buried because everyone thinks Honeypaw is dead and freaks the fuck out.

A lot of the plot points are kind of just me working through my gripes of the subgenre lmao:

"the person who is reincarnated is more adept and cool and better than their character and everyone loves them" -> Honey is awkward, neurotic, and can come off as rude to those who don't know her. Even her coolest trait, her wrestling ability, is off-putting because oh my god why are you putting a cAT IN A SPIDER GUARD THEIR SPINES DON'T BEND LIKE THAT HONEY PUT HIM BACK TO NORMAL-

She reread the story before she died but, because she has no pen, no paper, and sadly of all, no thumbs, she's unable to write it down to keep remembering it when she gets sent to this world. It's awful and she desperately wishes she had thumbs back.

she stands on two legs, makes weird comments alluding to being a human, and just is a bit of a weirdo. Honeypaw was isolated for being mean, Honey is isolated for making everyone uncomfortable (unintentionally). However, her isolation allows her to slip under the radar and do some more investigating, as she's noticed that some of the details in the story aren't adding up...

The story is strange and the characters aren't as she remembers now that they're in the flesh. Of course, her main priority is to thwart Honeypaw's assassination attempts, the spirit being intent that the way to get her body back is if she dies again. It's only from a near death experience that they realize that that's not gonna work and have to work together to change the story so they don't die!

and, as many people have pieced together, they're not alone.

#warrior cats #wc isekai au #deer rambles #tysm for asking about it #sorry it devolved into me rambling about my thoughts #but the story is kind in progress #so there isnt too many fine details to discuss beyond the plot + general character overviews #honey's horrible time

Why Did Candle Do That Weird Heel Turn in Pesty Besties and Why Did She Stick to That Till Her Elimination? Her Entire Deal Was Being an Easy Going Hippie and At No Point Did She Seem Like She Particularly Needed or Depended on Being Looked Up To. She Had a Good Rapport With Paintbrush Too Who Was the Sorta Defacto Ex-Thinkers Leader, if She Felt Abandoned Why on Earth Wouldn't She Vocalize This to PB Who Would Understand? Is Silver Spoon Really So Much Better and Closer to Her Than Both PB and YinYang?? It Just Feels Like They're Doing Whatever Cuz Shes an Emotional Woman Who Cares About This Going Completely Against Her Previous Characterization.

#Silver Spoon is Also the Worst and I Hope He Dies #I HOPE SILVER SPOON DIES!!!!!#Objective Criticism #dreamy.txt #This is a General Problem With the Latter Half of iii Which is That Everyone Does Whatever and Talks Past Eachother and Has Nothing Behind #The Eyes #Previous Characterization Be Damned We Need to Split Up the Thinkers Now for No Reason #I Love Plot Progression Yay

when the plot developments hit just ✨wrong✨

#can’t believe the 2k24 plot has progressed to the point where the weekend has ended… s i g h #i don’t want the weekend to eeeeeeeeeenddddddddd #wasted yet another weekend reading a facepalm-worthy manhwa. i want my weekend back </3 #m an. the main plot point of that manhwa was just the entitled af sister poisoning everyone and evading consequences until the end #seriouslyyyyyyy first she poisoned the fl，then she tried to poison the fl’s husband (who was also her lover)#then she poisoned herself to bid farewell to her affair child. and th e n she poisoned her dad too bc he said no to her marrying the emperor #and *then* she poisoned the emperor himself with potato sprouts while trying to poison the fl *again*#and t h e n she was roped into a cheap plot to off the emperor by stabbing him with a poisoned needle by a (very meta tbh) guy #i mean. guy handed her the needle and was like ‘ok do what you’ve always been doing and poison the emperor for me.’ and she went ‘ok’#and they had the 2 most pointless brother characters i’ve ever seen.#first bro was some 15 y.o. affair child bro of the fl’s first husband who p much just existed to inherit the husband’s estate #and the second bro was the affair child bro of the emperor: a perfectly nice young man who was unfairly hated by said emperor #and. like. l o l. the 2 pointless bros were like the only likeable characters in the entire story and they barely appeared in it #the first husband had every single possible undesirable trait a man could have rolled up into a single guy #and the emperor had a wafer-thin backbone and a mad case of babyface. like. the 15 year old boy looked older than him h e y #and the fl was somehow both a skilled opportunist and a master of missing opportunities at the same time #and man. the fl had just a single (1) maid who looked like tomoya enstrs (but with a bob cut)#i don’t even remember the maid’s name; i just called her ‘bob tomoya’. sorry for the slander tomochin you’re a cool dude #i’ve never seen a main cast as unlikeable as this one lmao. i mean. at least the [redacted] anime had juri #the plot was a pointless mess in general too. it went from 100 to 10000 in no time flat for no reason at all #it kinda felt like they were just throwing plot twists for the sake of throwing plot twists #and ofc the fl successfully resolved every problem that came her way bc o f c she did. flashtag girlboss and all ig #but the best part of it all (imo) was the improperly placed jewellery assets. they aren’t even angled consistently across progressive panels #they aren’t even shaded either. just plopped on there. it really takes you out of the setting esp if it’s during a serious scene #i liked how i kept getting an ad about cheating in marriages while reading it though. it really added to the experience #i’d rate that series a 2/10: needs more assets and half brothers #time to find a new overy melodramatic telenovella-esque series to binge next weekend ig… last week’s was better thoughhhh #at least that one had the villainess experience her downfall as consequences of her own actions and it was quite satisfying ngl #hm. i think i need a new hobby. before the word ‘villainess’ becomes a permanent part of my vocabulary

It does honestly impress me how EXACTLY and PRECISELY Emily Skrutskie constructs the most INCREDIBLE and Appealing premises only to do LITERALLY nothing with them. These books are SO empty!!

like okay. First book of hers I read, a fun little synopsis:

woman who works as a sea monster trainer to train massive genetically engineered Beasts to protect ships from pirate attacks falls in love with a pirate! INSANE right. Should be accompanied by an exploration of THE CREATION OF GENETICALLY ENGINEERED WEAPONS and probably also the ECONOMY LEADING TO PIRACY and not to mention the JUSTICE SYSTEM and what it means to have ALL THAT GODDAMN POWER but no. There’s nothing.

weird! Funky little book I’m sure I can just excise from my mind and never think about again—

BUT I CANT. BECAUSE HER PLOT POINTS ARE TOO DAMN INTERESTING. and oh big surprise but all the rest of her books have the EXACT same issues!!

hullmetal girls: two girls fall in love (I think?) in a military academy after being turned into weapons in a completely space-faring society. I believe one of them was a rich officer-track girl and the other was poor and in it for the family pension. But oh that’s so interesting! Will we be exploring THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL SYSTEM? Themes of BODILY AUTONOMY? Themes of perhaps even GENDER relating to bodily autonomy or MEDICAL AUTONOMY or PHYSICAL DEVALUATION? How about a look into WHY THIS SOCIETY IS SO DAMN BIFURCATED? or perhaps WHY THERES A NEED FOR MILITARY AT ALL? We sure fucking won’t!

All of this is Backdrop you see! Because it sounds Cool. A little bit of spice, perhaps, for what is maybe the MOST milquetoast romance I have ever read wherein neither of the characters was even differentiable from any other. Nobody had an arc. Nobody had a theme or god forbid a thematic resolution. Things happened because they were cool and sounded neat.

I’ve read books with bad writing before but usually those books were at least passionate and TRYING. I’ve never read before or since a book that was so empty and devoid of any deeper meaning. Shallow in the MOST literal sense. And to be frank I WAS digging! These books are a backyard sandbox marked out like an archeological site.

#like mmmm where’s. Where’s the ANYTHING. god I fucking WISH the curtains were blue honestly!#Did I go into the tags to see how big a beehive I would be kicking YES and I’d like to say um Diversity doesn’t excuse a total lack of them #I’m aroace! usually I AM in fact scraping for any representation at all but hm hullmetal girls is. I’m disowning it.#it’s such an unsatisfying book. It’s entertaining enough. But there’s nothing to it really. There’s no themes and none of the characters #Ever progress as people. The plot feels very pointless and even depressingly so at times. No narrative arcs at all.#Like. A lot of things happen but nobody really goes anywhere and no problems are ever fixed or caused or solved or anything.#A whole lot of nothing happens and then everyone is sad and worse off. And it doesn’t mean anything.#Not even in an ‘all violence is ultimately pointless’ kind of way. Nothing anyone does holds any deeper meaning and everything is lip servi #to culminate in the most SINGULARLY unsatisfying books I have ever read to the point I RECOGNIZED hullmetal girls as the same author #as the abyss surrounds us (pirates one) when I had forgotten the author name AND title of that book.#that should be enough to keep my filing system out of the general tags #Emily skrutskie #hullmetal girls #the abyss surrounds us

I find it funny how BNHA is one of the most popular anime/manga and yet people seem to forget almost everything that happens. like how.

#people say shit like 'the quirk singularity theory is irrelevant and unnecessary' and then go ahead #and complain why a character is too op and how it doesn't make any sense #like GEE its such a mystery right?? CLEARLY bad writing. i mean what could POSSIBLY show WITHIN THE STORY that #powers have been getting progressively more complicated and harder to control as the generations go on??#like YEAH hori should have told us right! he should have said out loud and mentioned at least 3 times within canon what thats all about!!#bnha #like i promise you it is a necessary thing to bring up exactly for the reason that people won't shut up about #a character being too op 'for no reason'#and because they keep forgetting #mettys posts #oh you don't like it because its not an integral part of the plot?? its world building. its an explanation for the universe they are in #also how do YOU know it won't be integral at some point? maybe it will. the manga isn't over yet #it can be world building AND part of the plot #ignore this i'm just ranting cuz i saw some bullshit #'its forgettable' its forgettable TO YOU. i remember and like it though

i have the opposite beef with my english teacher that most people have with their english teachers. yesterday she laughed at the concept of overanalyzing stories for anything that isn't the authors original intent and i saw red

#that quote progresses the plot #greek tragedies are sad greek comedies are funny #yesterday in class we read a short story and when she asked for foreshadowing examples the one i gave her was wrong because #. like yeah okay sure miss masters degree sentences can only have one meaning .#she also made us write in our notes a few months ago that #but that's just general incompetence

I don't think Julie cared about the Culture Shock, she just took the lazy way out. 90% of what the books were about, especially the tiny details that mattered in the long run, were pointless to her.

It's like she went "Huh? What's it called? Vampire Academy?" and then made her own idea of what that should be while skimming a fan wiki or something.

#va #xdarkeningkrystals #she hit that (not so) sweet spot of so different that many established fans didnt like it #and so complicated that many new fans had trouble jumping in #and honestly va should not be that complicated. once you understand moroi/dhampir/strigoi and the general royalty set up then it's fine #it all progresses in a very logical and satisfying way in the books #but after reading 12 books in this universe and had to relax my brain watching the show #partially because i was expecting certain things in certain orders and it threw me off when that didnt happen #but also because they just threw everything at the wall to see what stuck.#despite the fact that they were working off a series of perfectly plotted books. you guys had a map!#i did not mean to go on and on in these tags again but my passion for vampire academy is never-ending. sigh

idk if this is an unpopular opinion but I think the animals being mean if you choose the rude responses in animal crossing could've been a good thing or something. like I get why it was taken out but a mechanic like that could be used to teach kids that kindness will get you better treatment than being rude

#hell. could be cool to have in more games in general where if you choose the mean answers it takes longer to progress through the plot #but what do I know #honking

okay i read 10 volumes of one piece and either the live action show just fully changed shit around or literally all 10 of those volumes went in one ear and directly out the other

nervous kid with round glasses, guy with choppy hair, someone being convinced by their sort of girlfriend to go off on an adventure and leave them behind, and giant floating restaurant are ringing the absolute vaguest of bells but every single other plot point has been brand new fucking information to me

#i am not counting as part of this the stuff i would have known about the story from osmosis anyway #namely #you know #The Crew #and shanks #definitely the concept of ‘red-haired shanks with the scars and one missing arm’ is a concept that made me go ‘oh yeah right that guy’#although suppose that could be an actual memory from reading 10 whole volumes of one piece #watching this and being familiar with the ways of shounen manga #i feel like they just straight up skipped over like 20 chapters of clown fighting #which i for one am deeply grateful for #the emotional catharsis of that whole plot section did not require 20 chapters of clown fighting #in general the plotting and pacing is Excellent #other shows please learn from this #so far i am most invested in choppy-haired guy’s journey towards being slightly less shitty a person #the progress made thus far is slim but i believe in him and the power of being in proximity to a quivering chihuaha of a person #so far i am most enjoying the role choppy-haired dude is serving #i believe that the power of bringing us exposition and existing in close proximity to a quivering chihuaha of a person #can make him a slightly less shitty human being #and i’m having fun watching that journey unfold
