Me, literally in the actual post: In a way, and this is not to diminish some of the writing problems the author has, Ino is a nice representation of how Kishimoto is actually capable of writing a girl with a simple crush on a boy, who still prioritizes friends and comrades above the man she likes. Sakura's behavior, therefore, can't be attributed to Kishimoto not "knowing how to write women", but to him giving Sakura specific characteristics that just happen to be disliked by the fandom. In retaliation, her stans decide to blame such personality traits on his "incapability" to write female characters before giving them the actual relevance they have over Sakura's character.

DANCING AFTER DEATH - Epilogue: This Charming Life

Fresh off a prison sentence, Ian Gallagher is lost, wandering aimlessly through a life that doesn’t feel like his anymore. So when Lip offers him a fresh start halfway across the country, he takes it. He’s not sure what he expected from the small, Northern California town of Charming, but it certainly didn’t involve a closeted, dark-haired, blue-eyed member of the local motorcycle gang turning his life upside down. His head tells him to get the hell out of dodge, but there’s just something about him Ian can’t let go.

My Creature AU is great, not because I am the sole reason he keeps getting traumatized but because he's known Nelson since he was still a small, feral, uncivilized dog-lizard-child thing, and then in the next few years he suddenly shot up to be several inches taller than him AND the ultimate chosen one, because his aging was faster the younger he was Now at six years old, he's 14-adjacent and Nelson is 12, and they're best friends for life

I don't give a fuck if I sound like a hater-ass-bitch because this is my childhood memories and joy on the line. You mean to tell me Nintendo couldn't have found someone else to voice Mario??? Like, who in their right mind looks at Chris Pratt and goes, "You'd be an amazing Mario?" I mean, clearly Nintendo did, but still. Out of all the white men on this pissy ass planet, they couldn't find anyone better than his weirdo ass?

And I'm not even trying to be hateful so much as critical. When I watched that trailer and heard his voice coming out of Mario's mouth, I deadass CRINGED. I was so genuinely perturbed that I had to switch that shit off and play one of my many Mario games to remind myself what he's supposed to sound like. Was Charles Martinet not available? Is he too old or what, because I'd rather hear him do his thing then the least attractive and least memorable Chris butcher such an iconic video game character.

Nintendo, I know y'all must've have seen how much bank Sega and Sonic were making off their movies, but sweetie, y'all aren't them, and that's okay! I've never heard anyone say they'd love to see a Mario movie. Hell, as much as I love Mario, that's not something I'd ever want because y'all refuse to give my bby depth and personality, something my other bby Sonic has in spades.

Listen.

I have questions and I'm not sure if I want to hear the answers, but.

Who's the idiot trying to bring back some of the 90s and 2000s fashion nightmares?

Cuz it was fucking horrible, okay? And I can say this because I lived through it.

I still get shivers just thinking about the low-rise jeans and the baggy ones that would get soaked almost to the knees when it rained.

You know what should come back and stay instead?

The cloaks.

The billowing hooded cloaks.

The gothic horror fashion.

mini marvel vent but like, I know I’m just obsessed with adam, but he is actually an integral part of gamora’s origin and her early comics, and she was shown to love him in those early comics, and he returned those feelings. they kiss like...2-3 times. yet anytime I see someone talking about her in fandom there’s a strong focus on richard and peter instead. not saying they’re not important too, but it’s like people just forget adam ever existed entirely and that she wasn’t in love with him

ive done a lot of things i called "digital paintings" in the past but i think that portrait was my first real one. feels great to be able to say that

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

i didn't have "i'm broken" teenage asexual angst i had "i'm literally being the only reasonable one about this concept and the rest of you are behaving like fucking freaks" perception issues

being a student during peak pandemic was so fucking surreal like. "it's not an excuse to fall behind" I cannot stress enough to you how much A Worldwide Plague Upending Life As We Know It is literally one of The Top Three Reasons to fall behind

oh god shut up. you didn't even know the damn kid.

twitter is hell but i really hope it doesn’t actually die because this is in contention for the funniest thing i’ve ever read in my life
