the worst part about being sex repulsed is that you can't establish an intimate sexual bond with your homies

what's your opinion on fanfics about dnp? (more in a way of do you think that it's crossing boundaries and/or being parasocial)
i'm of the same mind of dnp in that phanfic is fucking incredible. it's an important and valid way to express yourself, as well as a building block of our community. i don't think it's crossing boundaries, as it's fiction. i don't see it as parasocial either--you're writing for you and others like you. most people don't want dnp reading their fics, it's not for them in a sense, it's for us.
i think dnp are extremely aware of fanfic and its value and place in community. they've always encouraged it, appreciated the support, and given us space about it. they're not ones to make videos about it and mock fans for it (which happened to some of our lovely fic writers here writing for other yt fandoms, and i'm so sorry about it). dnp are fandom culture people. they've written fic themselves! and published it in their book!
the word parasocial has been twisted lately to imply any fan support is unnatural and should be shamed, which is complete fucking bullshit. making art is always important and valued. and it is necessary for your existence as a human, but also for the thing you're a fan of to thrive.
the parasocial side comes in once you start believing you know this person. and that you're their real friend. when in reality, they do not know you specifically, and you are not their friend, you are an audience member.
so a parasocial relationship only occurs when people start crossing boundaries (digging for not publicly available information, contacting people in their personal life, showing up to their house, etc). which, is absolutely nowhere close to real fan behaviour.
tl;dr: phanfic is great, i love you fic writers, parasociality is a problem but not one that we have

Scrolling through OC ask memes is very funny sometimes because a good handful of them have questions that... we don't think apply terribly well.
Yeah, they're a bug, tattoos are a bit complicated. They can't swim because they're an insect. Their ancestry is Cricket and their blood type is green. They don't know what a car is.

Why do you ship komamiki..? They hate eachother and nagito is canon gay
Why? Because while watching the sdr2 letsplay, my brain is like, "Okay. Now I will only give you dopamine when these two are together."
I don't make the rules here.

we don't talk about this scene enough 😭😭
while the story doesn't dwell on it, it's an incredibly revealing line - it doesn't just highlight how strong the bond between piccolo and gohan is, it shows how much goku values and respects their relationship. i'm fond of the way the funi kai dub has the phrase 'if i know my son' right before goku says gohan will miss piccolo the most, because it sort of ties the moment back to the last real conversation goku and piccolo had before goku died, where piccolo chastened goku for (among other things) not understanding gohan or considering his feelings.
this thoughtful little moment that shows that even when under an enormous time crunch, goku's still reflected at least a little on how gohan will adjust to other world, which i personally read as a sign of him being a little more conscious of gohan's emotions after the fight with cell. and it's sweet that goku is subtly trying to help piccolo grieve the loss of gohan, as i suspect he knows he's one of the only people piccolo wouldn't immediately shut down.
bonus:

I have a wip post about Hiram's relationship in my drafts, but in meantime here's the Paramount Polycule chart if anyone's curious:
It's based on canon ocs relationships + headcanons + some inner jokes, it started as a reference for the group chat to keep up with our own drama
The main characters are Hiram, @that-giorgione, @thunder-threnodies, @that-fella-snipsnop, @a-true-gentlemummy, Lady Beksinski who is sadly not on tumblr, and Lucajes who is the guy with all the rats.
