#AND I THINK ILL START WITH MANGA

[thatfizzyyyy]

does anyone have any good manga recommendations that are of manga that are either completed or not being continued? anything like shoujo, yuri, or horror... actually anything really as long as you think its good. and completed or discontinued only pls. ALSO if you are ve me recs can you tell me on a scale of 1-10 how anime/manga tropey it is. higher numbers being stuff like bnha or ouran high school host club and lower numbers being stuff like oyasumi punpun, chi no wadachi, nana, or fma (would you say its not very anime/manga tropey?) i hope that makes sense also thank you in advance

#oops im rambling #some stuff i rlly liked are: #nana. skip beat. akatsuki no yona. the good teacher (well thats a manwha) #mob psycho 100 (i watched the anime). rose of versailles / riyoko ikeda works. #i dont have an issue w something being v tropey tho #IM TRYING TO GET BACK INTO READING #AND I THINK ILL START WITH MANGA #BC IM ALWAYS ON MY PHONE ANYWAYS #i also liked killing stalking. and death note. #i dont feel like i can commit to reading something weekly / monthly right now #thats why i ask #if i dont get recommendations ill probably just reread skip beat for the millionth time #tbh it kinda fell off tho ;/ no shade

A lot of people on the mpreg survey have distinguished between mpreg (male pregnancy) and what I like to call mmpreg (monsterfucker male pregnancy) which has led to some fantastic discussions on egging. I think if you were to put mpreg on some sort of iceberg chart this would likely be the second layer, and then at the very bottom is whatever the hell happened in starving anonymous (bisexual man cannibalizes immortal man in order to birth hundreds of clones of the immortal man out of his own flesh, and then after he runs out and dies he and the immortal man survive by fusing their consciousnesses together into a jellyfish. somehow. and from the jellyfish they adopt a random ass abandoned child and give their powers to him so he also becomes immortal and can rebirth them temporarily in the same way as before. cannibalistic mpreg found family unbirthing)

#SORRY I CANT STOP THINKING ABOUT THAT FUCKING MANGA #genuinely like. why. not even in a cool way i think the author just ran out of ideas #but im fascinated by how they ran with it. like who comes up with this for the final battle of your manga #starving anonymous spoilers #tw mpreg #ill start doing that since some people have said theyre uncomfortable w it on the poll just lmk if theres another tag you want so you can #blacklist!!!

re: ur post about toshiro and laios - i humbly offer this panel of laios completely misunderstanding the way izutsumi eats isn't an 'eastern thing', cuz hes not used to it

a good panel to bring up 👆 laios is a great example of a well meaning white person who ends up making micro agressions and racist generalizations without realizing because hes ignorant and very underexposed to any cultures other than his own. i mean hell both he and falin are extremely racist about 'the mountain people'

and much like theyre racist towards the nomadic people, kabru is racist towards kobolds due to him conflating them with monsters. tbh i think every character in dunmeshi exhibits some sort of racial bias at least once, which can be hard for fans to deal with, as i think most people are unused to racism being one of the major character flaws in their favs. unfortunately, when writing a story that is implied to take place in an earlier time period, or hell even just writing a story period, you cant really ignore racism as part of your worldbuilding, especially if, like kui, youre using it to make a point.

tldr everyone in dunmeshi is kinda racist in one way or another and it is a deliberate choice on kuis part, because she wanted to portray both real-world tensions through a fantasy lense and flesh out her own world with realistic tensions that would build in its history. if you are ignoring that the characters are racist then you are missing the point

also, im saying all this as a white person myself, so please Please do not think that im the only person talking about this. there are many poc, both in the replies/tags of my post and in posts of their own, who have made similar points to me and brought up things i havent touched on and you should absolutely read their takes as well

#when id first read the manga and the toshiro scene happened i remember thinking to myself #that there was more to it than just toshiro hating him for being 'annoying' #and i had figured that there was a cultural difference there #it wasnt until the omake id used in my original post came out and i discussed it with a friend who is a person of color #that i was absolutely certain that not only was it an intentionally nuanced scene #but that if youre paying attention to the manga as a whole #you can pick up on th subtext that the omake fills in even without having seen it #once you realize that the entire story is told from laios pov and you start paying attention to the things he says and the ways he acts #it becomes immediately clear that he makes these kinds of mistakes rather often #ill repeat the words of the many poc who have been talking about this: he is an autistic man #but he is still a White autistic man

I'm almost caught up with TCF 😔. Thank goodness they post like twice a week. Honestly it's a little amazing that, as of today, there's 960 chapters on EAP.

#dialogue option #tcf #lcf #i think ill reread after im done #because i skipped part of the beginning (i started with the manga and skipped those chapters) #and i read some pretty fast so i dont remember parts #especially the xiolan part #everything runs together lol

dungeon meshi looks so cool but i have a feeling tumblr is lying to me and the beautiful chicken dragon woman isnt usually a beautiful chicken dragon woman

#dungeon meshi spoilers ? #im comforted knowing the dwarf is getting canonical panty shots though #diary #she just looks soo cool in art and i know tumblr loves hyping up hyper specific things abt a character so im sus. does she remain like that #ik she doesnt Start like that.. looks at everyone w big wet eyes #id have to read the manga anyway as i dont think i can handle the screaming i heard in the trailer <--- ill-adapted for most anime tropes

my brain for the past like 2 weeks

#.txt #trigun #specifically #trimax #i am rotating her in my head always she is so fascinating to me i have so many thoughts i could write a novel #shes captivating to me. as a person #tbh her and tesla and the dependant plants as like. catalysts for so many emotions in the story but we dont get real insight into #their internal lives #and rem captivates me specifically bc shes so complicated wrt her actions with tesla but also the way she talks about leaving earth #and the idea of giving up on her home planet and putting her whole fresh start into seeds and then immediately making #the worst mistake of her life (tesla) and then starting over blank Again with vash and knives and how that all turned out #like!!!! the emotions going on there for her must be insane. i think about it Literally Constantly #and how it all ties into the mangas theme of the potential to be better vs the people you hurt before getting there #im literally obsessed with her #also she dresses like a lesbian electrician and i really like that vibe for her. im not immune #rem saverem #holding her in my hands i just think shes neat #also i have a whole incoherent google doc filled with random scenes from idk iguess the rem pov novel that lives in my brain?? #maybe ill clean them up and post them one day that is a threat #also i love fat baby knives in the itty bitty manga screencap i chose. i just know hes the densest baby alive #normal looking baby who you pick up and handles like a bag of wet cement

ah go me. trying to ignore last months cliffhanger for noragami and thinking that the events of this month chapter might not actually happen. serious case of hopium overdose.

all i could say was 'ahhh fuck' over and over and over again. cause you see it coming, but you hope it doesn't and its a slow motion car crash and has been for months now.

#noragami #noragami spoilers #ill be honest it was the outcome I was seriously against out of all possibilities #i kinda trusted the author to not let this happen #but when everything started just getting so messed up it definitely came to mind that they were capable of doing it #i think im dissapointed #but like not as well #just because something i hoped wouldnt happen happened doesn't mean the right message isn't going to be said about it #and like this is so fucking sad #literally the worst case scenario #this is literally the most tragic manga iv had the pleasure of reading #but like tragic and not in the original genre description #I had the audacity to hope. #for the record im not upset or angry or mad at the writing this is stellar shit #its just a fucky tragedy and a very intentional and artfully crafted tragedy #god im so sad

soul eater fandom needs to re-evaluate how they view & characterize stein bc it says a LOT abt what u think abt schizospec ppl

#even some of the most popular fic I've read has done some Questionable things w/ him #its obscenely obvious whenever an author thinks that were all too Dangerous for normal society #and should be kept on meds/in a mental hospital for everyone ELSES safety #thats obv more on the extreme side but ive seen it before lmfao #ableism #schizobabble #this has just been gnawing @ me for soo long #its part of a larger conversation that needs to be held about how this fandom treats All mentall illnesses #dont get me STARTED on crona and ragnarok i swear #soul eater #professor stein #stein soul eater #stein #im putting this in the main tag bc fuck em #this obv isnt saying he cant do questionable or bad things yall just dont know how not to blame it on his inherent nature or w/e #ask me questions abt this if u want but this is a sensitive topic for me #the anime (havent read the manga yet) actually pulls off his arc fairly well. idk why everyone else struggles

reading claymore as a palate cleanser after consuming a media that focuses mostly on male characters

#claymore manga #claymore #I NEED WOMEN #like if the story is good ill brave through it and then ill go back to my girls #by this point i think ive read it like 8 or 9 times fully #not counting the times i pick up a random chapter and just start reading
