I wrote a longer and more overwrought version of this post when I was slightly drunker (yay distillery book club) but the shorter, more sober-clarity version is: it's so ridiculous that about 50% of my current fandom experience is based on things that are now 25 years old (thanks for the reminder, lucasfilm) and yet I'm terrified of being left behind because I 'can't move on' from something that is now barely 5 years old
you could probably attempt to make some sort of sweeping statement about this, like the lifespan of media now versus the early 00s, but what it's really about is my own issues with abandonment which is affecting both my ability to move on (I really struggle with the 'crew breaks up between installment thing', always have) and also the general fear of behind left behind, rather than any real trends in fandom as a whole
ok I think that's enough for superb owl sunday

Top five things you love about Big Fish Husband, go!
weird, tumblr is dating this dec 1st but i only received it in my ask box a few days ago. idk how long ago you sent this but regardless- i'm sorry for your wait! from five to one. let's get into it, shall we?
YAKUZA 5 SPOILERS AHEAD (cw; there might be whore behavior...i'll try to tone it down just be aware 💜)
NUMBER 5: STRONK (with proof) & THICC & LORGE
i am... weak to a strong, THICC man, okay? does his head look like it was plopped atop his shoulders as an afterthought? yes! thick head, thick neck, thick shoulders, thick back. where do my arms go? he so wide! i'm a short, stubby gworl. if he looks like he could bench press me and our inevitable five kids, i invite him to get started on #1 😏. can't help it.
NUMBER 4: VOICE
i've said this a bajillion times but i am loyal to my favorite seiyuu and hiroki yasumoto is someone at the top of that list. masa caught my eye just because He, HOWEVER it was when he spoke that my brain went ❗❗❗❗ and lo and behold, it was The Man! i already had an interest but then i had to cling to masa on sheer principle after that. it was the law, ya know? gotta follow the law 💜
NUMBER 3: HANDSOME (witH PROOF)
this will be the last on the physical bits of him- it's not ALL physical babe! but... there are some things about aizawa, physically that i think are so appealing and i love whenever i have the opportunity to point them out to people. when i talk about people about him, lots of people cite his body as the thing that made them realize that he was attractive and that's totally cool! like, 100% there's nothing wrong with that- in fact i think that he would appreciate that his body is so loved because he's spent a ton of time building it to become what it is! and my, is it a marvelous one at that. however, there are other things! like, for example- his absolutely gorgeous deep olive skin tone and the way his koi works against it- the darker color of it i mean. they work so well together! and when he gets sweaty??? GOD! so amazing! he's got such pretty eyebrows- they're sharp and expressive and you can tell when he's got something on his mind, well before he even opens his mouth. his hair looks SO SOFT! i have so many headcanons about his hair omg. the TEXTURE of his skin like OMG!!!! pores, moles, stubble- HE HAS EVERYTHING AND IT'S SO CUTE <3 i love just....admiring his face 💜 his eyes; he's got some of the prettiest eyes in the series if you ask me and you have so i'll say it again 📣AIZAWA HAS SOME OF THE PRETTIEST EYES IN THE SERIES~! i wish rgg took better care of them throughout because there are times in the game (not cutscenes) where his eyes aren't lined up properly with who he's speaking with and the lighting in addition to that give them a really funky look. but aside from that- they're literally so beautiful, like they twinkle under moonlight! THEY TWINKLE BABE!!!!! no but fr, just the shape of his eyes themselves MWAH chef's kiss! speaking of kissing-- nah i ain't gonna do it- this bullet's gone on way too long lmaooo
NUMBER 2: PASSIONATE (and a lil sensitive uwu)
gimme a big man with a little character that he is over-protective (+ willing to risk his life) over and i will slap him with the gentle giant trope and never look back. honestly, i didn't have to go outta my way for this one- the writer's did it themselves! they made him 8'6 and morinaga 4'11 and was like 'ok morinaga, you're the big brother here annnd action🎬' then aizawa was like 'my aniki broke up with me on a sticky note and idk what to do with my life. 🥺🥺pls halp' and i was like, 'that there, is a sensitive big man. i can do something with that.' i've done so much with that omg. ALSO, seeing him get all riled up when he wanted to speak his mind 🥰 love me a fictional man with fuse shorter than my pinky <3. bonus points if he's sooo dumb about it too.
NUMBER 1: BELIEFS
masato is a nepobaby... and despite being handed the keys to two castles, the king went and fucked off with them both and the price? snow nap. frozen nipples! ICONIC BEHAVIOR IF YOU ASK ME AND YOU ARE SO 📣ICONIC BEHAVIOR! aizawa said, that he doesn't care about an inheritance- his dad's probably loaded now- was, rip lol. he was believes in hard work begetting reward. aizawa says NO to nepotism! er, despite sorta kinda basically still sorta kinda benefitting from that nepotism because how else would he have gotten a shot at kiryu (and have himself be heard) if he weren't someone at least vaguely plot relevant...... fourthwallmachinebrokelol WE'RE ALL HYPOCRITES HERE~!!! just making inferences based off other shit he said, i don't think he's all too fond of the old guard remaining in major seats of power. and like, sure that might make him a wee bit ageist but like.... anyway, i'm all for someone deciding their company sucks but they still want a promotion and then challenging one of the board members to hand-to-hand combat. it's a power move, really. everyone should give a shot, i support them. with a kiss if their name is masato aizawa and they look good in a silk purple button-up 💜
