well i finished renegade. i sure was renegading all over the place
#it was alriiiight.... but man i hate to say it but i think i have more complaints than praises#i DID like florins new execution route and i liked talons deal. the entire end of night spell deal was horrifying and i loved it#i love that genre of horror like ''you die twice when you get forgotten after death''#so seeing it play out here was horrifying in a good way. talon and amber's deaths were both so fucking good like goddamn#they were just as heartbreaking as they needed to be. especially ambers like when you go talk to tesla after#but. man i dont think meta games are for me cause ngl i was sorta just like ''aight.'' to most of the meta here#like that was the one thing about talon i didnt care for. i thought ''everyone i know and love is going to die and god is screaming at me''#was a fine enough motivation to go crazy and become a rift. i thought it was compelling and tragic and a good thing to do#with a new character. but then he started going ''in older versions of the game i wasnt even there i was just a prop for the backstory''#and thats sorta when i started tuning out. like i cant explain why but i feel it made the scene more... cheap?#i think just cause personally ive seen that motivation a lot in meta games before and its gotten old to me#tbh the entire meta angle is whats really dragging this down to me. dont get me wrong i love eizen and his scenes#but i dont see why we have to canonize the game's update cycles as like a critical part of the world#and then theres m2 who i have mixed feelings on. cause i love the character type of ''ive been through so much shit idc anymore''#and they end up being kinda goofy and saying inappropriate/out of pocket things while trying not to discuss The Horrors#ive written more than one of those types of characters. but with m2 its like she doesnt know how to turn that off#like spacea and tiempa's deaths being a tera raid parody where they joke about being in a crashing plane and get bashed by extra melias#it just felt like. unfitting. (also a nitpick but goddamn that scene made my head hurt with how much the screen wobbled)#like really? this is the sendoff they get in the fucked up and evil route? and idk i just dont think m2 was all that funny.#she was more grating than anything tbh. and i just feel like her existence and the bad timeline is just Too Much#like there were already so many plotlines and arcs and do we Really need a new-ish character right before the climax#idk. im hoping v14 is more cohesive in this department#for now im taking a much needed break from this game lol

INTRODUCTION!
Tumblr media
SIMPLETALE is an AU that aims to parody undertale. while also giving it its own original twist, although its not just limited to undertale, as we also aim to parody other silly little bits of the multiverse. like underfell, underswap, heck. maybe even underverse! you can find some of the AU's included in the lineup drawn above, as well as in the descriptions for the askable AU's further on in this post
the AU uses old concepts for undertale, and some fanon misconceptions. to make a funny and entertaining story, but also one with worldbuilding and some slightly more serious bits. unfortunately we cannot show the rest of the cast for simpletale currently because that's spoilers and we want to keep it secret for later (;
(be sure to frequently check this post, as characters could be added to be askable in the future)
questions are not just limited to characters though, you can also ask us, the creators, questions about the production of simpletale, or even our own opinions on it! maybe even some questions about areas...? but ill be nice and give some suggestions. "whats your favorite thing about simpletale?" "whats your least favorite thing about simpletale" dont be shy, ask!
moving onto the characters.
Tumblr media
the simple. the basics. the one and only's!
the simpletale bros!
sans- a rather cheeky, clumsy, and humerus fella. likes getting a laugh out of others, often through humerus actions, he ends up annoying the shit out of his brother a lot of the time, and they argue a lot, they love being brothers though, and most of the time they make up rather quickly. usually tries to speak as little as possible and be as straight to the point as possible. has a fast food addiction
papyrus- a bumbling perfectionist imperialist. believes himself to be superior to others, even when in a low position of power, he was accepted into the guard because..... they needed someone to do the paperwork, dogs ain't that good for writing. despite this he believes himself to be the most important and supreme member of the guard, despite the most important thing he does being signing the occasional tax document or punting a trespasser (usually just random preteens) 20 feet into the air. a bit of a narcissist with a sailors mouth but he does actually care for the people in his life, despite coming off so rude most people find him annoying though ):. basically papyrus autism thrown to a hundred. banters with sans often when he tries to knock papyrus ego down a peg. tries to act menacing, but hes really just an 80's cartoon villain goofball. cooks the most delicious food you will ever taste, we let bro cook for a REASON.
Tumblr media
the simpled is swapped?
the simpleswap bros!
they started out exactly like simpletale sans and papyrus, but decided to parody each other for shits and giggles, and then got all their friends along, which created simpleswap. their personalities are a bit altered from the simpletale brothers due to reasons but their whole swapped personality thing is a gag and they might break character once you say something outlandish or spook them.
papyrus- apathetic, and a bit apolitical with almost everything. started smoking weed to parody sans fast food addiction but actually started smoking it regularly, so hes like.... high. always. once you get through his apathetic and at times, cold and careless character, he can be surprisingly kind and humble, honestly a pretty decent guy. finds his old self cringey and dumb. works as an accountant on the side, cooks pretty tasty food, and often makes tasty weed brownies????
sans- cheeky, energetic, and plays this character of perfection to parody papyrus narcissism, think of the character of perfection kind of like how liquid chris works, effectively doing anything papyrus did, but better. still tries his best to get a laugh out of everyone, hes in better shape then simpletale sans and is overall more athletic, playful and energetic, takes the whole parodying eachother thing less seriously then his brother. him and fellsimple sans are best pals
Tumblr media
their bold, their brash, they certainly dont belong in the trash, an-OUCH I FELL AND BROKE MY FUCKING KNEEES-
fellsimple.
this one goes slightly more heavy into parodying fanon
sans- has anger issues, plays up this role of being a punk, "fuck the government" "acab" "i dont believe in consistency" you get the point, a bit of a greedy fuck, loves gold, as well as sharp stuff and gold, he has some.... taboo fetishes like hes probably into bdsm. being the only one out of the skeletons to not be asexual as well as being the only one to be straight. rides a motorcycle, but likes trucks more, probably secretly works with trucking, simpleswap sans is his best friend and he loves to drink with simpletale sans, tough attitude, but is secretly just as silly as the others.
papyrus-has a job as a guard but ends up skipping most of the time because the guards are pretty horrible people and they make him pretty stressed, likes books and philosophy, probably plays this fake role of an evil, heinous guard at work, if ever does it that is. hes a real cheapskate compared to sans, but will buy good books or vinyl albums at a high price if he feels their high enough of quality. hes shy compared to the other papyruses.
sans
....aaaand error.
Tumblr media
a bit of a sleazy fella with a PLAN. he doesnt destroy aus here but does more heinous stuff, like rob banks in AU's, make illegal businesses or currencies, clash with rival gangs, and occasionally fights with ink (although their relationship is very sexual, parodying the fanon misconception that errink is canon) ask him the right questions, and he might even bring some of his gang members along to answer (; his personality is somewhat apathetic, but he always has a PLAN!!!!!! AND YOU CANT FIGHT NATURE JOHN......
NOW, THE FIRST ERROR GANG MEMBER!
killer: nickname: assassin has been unlocked!
Tumblr media
coming from an alternate timeline of simpletale where sans got bored? varisk (frisk replacement) decided to mentally manipulate him into thinking that robbing and killing is a better option then doing nothing. and pays him for it eventually papyrus was killed in crossfire and sans murdered varisk, the pin on his jacket is a soul, but souls are useless in the simpleverse, blood is much more valuable. he's a silent but professional skeleton. cares deeply about his boss and coworkers.
EXTREMELY good with firearms as well as chains. its hard for him to move his mouth, so its almost always locked in a constant smile the liquid that leaks out of him is like an oil like substance, touching it for too long burns your skin, its incredibly cold though. he's ruthless and aggressive in battle and is often the tank/brute in whatever operation dysfunct has going on. usually smug and professional, but can also be very gentle around those he deems friendly enough.
picked up by error after an.... incident in his au.
Tumblr media
the nightmare and dream brothers!
nightmare: claims to have been "betrayed" by his brother (dream stole his sandwich) believes dream causes all his misfortunes and bad luck moments. kind of acts like a spoiled rich kid with a military obsession. started the gang by feeding into errors idea of a free multiverse, where there are no governments and an independent existence for everyone. a world with anarchy and fun. he can be a good manipulator at times, but is all bark no bite. pretty cringe, both him and his brother claim to be "gods" but in truth, their both mutations/byproducts of the simpleswap universe "glitching" creating this disgusting blob and a ball of light (think like sans bad time eye) inside of a husk body. both are amortal and seek to destroy the other, or at least piss each other off for as long as possible.
dream: LOVES shit talking about his brother plays this role of an innocent cutesy kind emperor, when he is everything opposite to that, except for emperor I guess. he is an emperor. believes causing nightmare misfortune will bring him luck in some form (it doesn't, but hes too stupid to realize) if he gets the chance he would probably torture and give his enemies a VERY painful, but quick death. he wants his brother to be at the bottom of life, the worst point in his life, before he plans to KILL. speaks in a very Shakespearian way. is a snobby fuck. not really greedy. but will do ANYTHING in his power to make his enemies die the most painful death he can give them. not cruel to his people, but gaslights them a lot. claims what he does is for the "greater good" acts nice, and very kind to his "friends" but would betray them the moment he finds anything better. the type of guy to give you puppydog eyes after burning down your house
AND ME!!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
thanks to kyne for activating my dastardly plan to take over this tumblr, im not just gonna be thrown away as a simple outcast at that pub anymore, im fuckin important goddamn it!!!!!
i also may edit the intros a bit add my own flare you know but the importance is i am now your stand in if you ask anyone thats in the multi-bar!!!!
bio: 404 was born omnipotent, automatically more powerful then all the other simpletons. he would become aware of how through an alternative reality known as the prescratch timeline where that version of him speaks of what he was destined for. nobody believes him however and that bitch error keeps harassing me about talking shit well guess what whore i dont fucking need you anymore because ive found myself somebody who won't just use me and then throw me away when its most fitting fuck you never talk to me again bitch
liks: chaos, delinquency, anarchy, NOT following the rules, 100 gecs (the one with the stupid horse), being powerful, super transformations, hyperpop, chains, gold, copypastas, big hot strong men that could absolutely penetrate me hard, 100 gecks (literally, i have 100 of them as pets and its awesome!!!), flexing, being totally dripped out, colors associated with errors, busting it down (gay kind not cool kind)
dislinks: order, rules, politics, leaders, having to follow instructions, horror sans from the evil guys fuck you you stole my place on that group which im not that upset about anymore after realising they all suck anyways but i still hate you because you refuse to actually fight and keeps saying random quips everytime youre on screen like actually shut the fuck up, gex, women because im severely femalephobic and extremely homosexual so they terrify me, error (cheater and liar dont ever trust him with anything), ink who stole my man with her fuckin cursed woman parts and apparently in the prescratch timeline everyone calls her mommy????? kinda sussy BUT THE SIMPLEVERSE IS LIMITLESS!

Remember when I said I wasn't gonna post fanfics? I lied. I'm gonna post just this one as an excuse to have some Johnshi in my life but also because its rare I write a fic that isnt a self indulgent oc fic
This is just a lil fic where Kenshi comforts Johnny after a stunt on set leaves him with an injured ankle, mostly cute banter. Also sorry if the formatting looks weird, i dont normally post fics to tumblr so idk how to space my paragraphs like I do on google docs.
Tumblr media
Click. Step. Click. Step.
The Hollywood actor carried himself on his crutches across the room, from the door to his living room couch, where he saw Kenshi waiting in anticipation.
“Honey, I'm home,” Johnny announced in a parody of those old movies, how he loved his dumb movie references.
“Doesn't sound like good news. Are those crutches?” Kenshi asked, judging by the sound and the patterns of the sound. Though he usually relied on Sento for sight, he hardly ever felt the need to in a casual setting, so it rested in the mantle above the fireplace.
“Yeup. Doc says I'll need ‘em for a few weeks, a month at most.”
Kenshi crossed his arms and leaned back on the couch. “Was that stunt still worth it?”
Johnny snorted, “Totally, the shot came out perfect! You may not know this, but I do all of my own stunts. Impresses everybody when I tell them that!” He dropped a small paper bag of his prescribed painkillers on the coffee table and sat next to Kenshi, wincing as he lifted his ankle to rest it on the same table.
“Aren't stuntmen used so the real actors don't get hurt?”
“I mean- yeah. But don't worry, they're just gonna film everything else until I come back, which should be in no time. I'm just built different.”
Kenshi could just hear the cocky smile, causing him to shake his head in disbelief, but he couldn't hold back the small bit of laughter at Johnny’s pride and confidence. “Alright, but it looks like it's my turn to take care of you again.”
“Don't sweat it, Ken doll, I can take care of myself. You've already helped me enough, and you've got yourself to look after,” He noted all too seriously. Obviously there still rested some guilt in his heart over Mileena's rabid attack that day.
“That ankle needs to rest. That movie needs you and you need the money from it.” Undeniable. Johnny was still getting back on his feet (not literally now) after a messy and expensive divorce, he needed whatever work he could get at the moment. “You just let me know when you need something.”
Johnny sighed as he looked down at his injured ankle. These next few weeks were going to be the most boring while of his life.
Kenshi seemed to know Johnny wasn't feeling so good by the sudden quietness, not even a silly request from his offer. When Johnny of all people was quiet, there was a problem. “Johnny? You alright?”
“Yeah… I've just never been good at sitting still and doing nothing, you know? Now I can't even use my own pool in my living room,” He complained, as if having a pool in the living room was a normal thing.
“Come on, Johnny, you still have a whole mansion. Unless your attention span really is that small, you're not gonna get bored,” Kenshi lovingly poked at him. “It’s not like you're alone either.”
Johnny noded with a small smile of comfort. “That's right, I've got you, my best friend, boyfriend, and assigned FBI agent,” Johnny joked. Gods, not again with the assigned FBI agent meme. “And hey, maybe we can invite Kung Lao and Raiden over to hang out. You think Liu Kang would wanna drop by?”
Kenshi gave an amused smirk. “Probably not, but Kung Lao, might.”
Johnny looked down at the table again, spotting a marker. He groaned and wheezed as he leaned over to grab it, trying not to move his ankle off the table as his finger tips barely touched the marker.
“Johnny what are you-” Before he could finish his question, he felt a marker tapping against his hand.
“You wanna be the first to sign my cast?” Johnny offered, trying to play it off cool but his excitement was slipping past in his voice.
“You mean Hollywood’s megastar wants my autograph?” Kenshi teased. He took the marker into his hand, and Johnny guided his hand down to his cast. Confidently, Kenshi began writing his name.
“Not bad writing for someone who can't really see,” Johnny complimented, meaning it obviously and trying to make it sound like that rather than a mockery.
“I still know the motions of writing, that's enough to get by.” Of course Johnny hadn't seen Kenshi's messier writing at his job and maybe it should stay that way.
The real surprise was the small heart he drew right below his own name. Kenshi wasn't so into PDA, nor into cutesy stuff like that, so it caught Johnny off guard to see the small display. It wasn't like people didn't know they were dating, Johnny was way too into showing off their love and too loud to keep that secret, but it was rather that Kenshi was a more subtle lover when it came to their relationship, preferring to keep things behind doors. Still, it was a nice surprise, and at least now it made the cast way better to look at! Of course Johnny was already pulling out his phone to snap a photo of it to post to his socials.
“You're posting your cast, aren't you?” Kenshi reasonably accused.
“Gotta let the fans know production might be on hold.”
“Is that it? Or are you bragging about us again?”
Johnny snickered, meaning Kenshi was right. “Okay, you got me, but how can I not show you off? You're the coolest! A blind swordsman? Dating Hollywood's biggest hit? We're like a power couple!”
If Kenshi still had his eyeballs, he'd be lovingly rolling them, but admittedly it was kind of cute seeing how enthusiastic Johnny was about their relationship- and kind of funny to think about considering they were previously rivals over Sento.
Kenshi leaned in to press a kiss to Johnny's cheek, and he could feel the wrinkles of a smile under his lips. “Looks like you're feeling better about that ankle.”
“As long as I have you by my side, this injury is gonna be a breeze!” Now it was Johnny's turn to lean in, this time leaning to rest his head on Kenshi with closed eyes and a content smile. Kenshi reciprocated by wrapping an arm around Johnny to hold him. “Shit, that medicine they gave me is starting to catch up.”
“You get sleepy off of a couple Tylenols,” Kenshi playfully quipped, making Johnny laugh.
“Just saying it's a good excuse to nap on you! Unless you're gonna tele-fling me to bed again.”
Kenshi shook his head. “Maybe when your ankle isn't as broken. Right here is fine, just keep your ankle up.”
“Sweet,” Johnny happily murmured as he felt himself starting to doze off. Damn, Tylenol really did knock him out.

N and Uzi meet Stolas! :D
WARNING: This doesnt make sense at all, is just a parody to vent my frustrations out :3
N and Uzi are hangin out together, doing cute stuff. Stolas is watching them from a distance, like the creep he is.
Uzi: Wait, what the...
N: Whats wrong?
Uzi: *frowning and whispering* There is a weirdo looking at us.
N: *looks up and sees Stolas* Oh, haha, maybe he is just shy...
Uzi: He has been staring at us for a long time.
N: We can ask him.
Uzi: Wait-
N: Hey, you, come over here!
Stolas: Me?
Uzi: Do you see anyone else?
Stolas: Am, sorry for bothering you, haha, I was just... ejem, curious.
Uzi: *raising an eyebrow* About what?
Stolas: Well, you look like a cute couple...
*Uzi blushes*
N: Thanks!
Uzi: Well, is not of your bussines!
Stolas: *ignoring her* I never had a relationship like yours... My wife is... hard with me.. I dont even love her...
Uzi: Oh... I see.
N: Im sorry :(
Stolas: Its okay. Im divorcing her.
N: Thats good!
Stolas: Actually... there is someone I like...
N: Awwww!
Uzi: Oh, really?
Stolas: Yes... Is... an imp.
N: A what?
Stolas: Someone from lower class.
Uzi: *frowning* Ok, but, I mean who is? His name and stuff.
Stolas: *dreamily* His name is Blitzo... I... am in love with him.
N: Awwww, so cute!
Uzi: *suspicious* Hm, yeah.... How did you meet him?
Stolas: Once when we were kids... He was... *realizes that the context is disturbing*. Am, we met once as kids and played.
N: *gasp* Childhood romance!
Uzi: *suspecting* So... like... you just met once as kids?
Stolas: Yes, and then, years later, we saw each other again! He came to my palace to see me again! We made love.
Uzi: I didnt need to know that. So, why are you asking us about relationship stuff? You have that guy. You said that he loves you.
Stolas: Oh, uh, yeah, but... OK, the true is, he just um... pretended at first. Actually...
Uzi: You are confusing me.
Stolas: He... pretended. So he could steal something important from me.
N: *gasp* Thats terrible, Im so sorry.
Stolas: *enjoying the simpaty of pure N* Its fine.
Uzi: *not falling* What did he steal from you? Like, why?
Stolas: A book... that can make you travel to the living world... He stealed it for his bussines...
Uzi: Oh, I see. I understand. I mean, is not okay, still, he played and robbed you, but I understand.
Stolas: Yes, but, since I do care for him, I lent him the book.
N: Oh, thats nice from you!
Stolas: Hehe, thanks. Just doing something for my loved one.
Uzi: Okay, but... that book sounds important. You just... give it to him?
Stolas: No, he makes some favours for me.
N: Oh, that sounds fair!
Uzi: Wait. What kind of favours?
Stolas: We, once a month, he gives me back the book... and then we fu- I mean, sleep together.
Uzi and N: ....
Stolas: What?
Uzi: So, you are forcing this guy to make sexual favours.
*N gets an horrofied look on his face*
Stolas: I-I dont force him! I... I made him an offer and he accepted.
N: That... sounds weird. To want to, uh, sleep together in exchange for something. I dont know, it doesnt sound right to me.
Stolas: But- he... he is okay with it! He said yes!
Uzi and N: Hmmmm.
Stolas: Come on! Is a fair exchange!
Uzi: Why did you ask for sexual favours? Thats the weird part.
Stolas: I just wanted to do something with him! Have him close to me!
N: Then why didnt you ask for a date?
Stolas: I was nervous!
Uzi: But not nervous to ask for sex?
Stolas: I-I-I.... HE seduced me! We slept together! Thats why I wasnt nervous with sex!
N: Didnt you tell us before that he didnt actually like you and only did it to get your book?
Stolas: Well, if he really wasnt uncomfortable he wouldn have do it!
*N and Uzi look disgusted at him*
Stolas: WHAT?!
Uzi: Dude, maybe he was just desperate. Didnt you say before that he needs the book for his job?
Stolas: I... Look, I asked him and he said yes, so thats it!
Uzi: *rolls her eyes*
N: Ok... Can you tell us more about him?
Stolas: I told you everything!
N: No, I mean, his personality and other stuff. What do you like from him?
Stolas: Oh... Okay. He is very.... intense. He gets angry very easily. Actually, everytime we are together he looks angry or annoyed.
N: Ooookay.
Stolas: He also has a dirty mouth. He really likes to swear!
Uzi: Aha.
Stolas: And... he is really good in bed.
Uzi and N: Ew!
Uzi: We didnt need to know that, man!
Stolas: Well, sorry, you asked about him!
Uzi: You idiot, N asked about his personality, not his ability in bed!
N: What does he like? :D
Uzi: Or what hobbies does he have?
N: Phobias?
Uzi: That kind of stuff, you idiot!
Stolas: O-Oh... I see... Well, then...
Uzi: Go on.
Stolas: Well, I... I actually... dont know...
Uzi: What do you mean you dont know? Arent you suposedly in love with him?
Stolas: Yes I am!
Uzi: Then how is it that the only things you can say about him is that he is always angry, annoyed, swearing and good in bed. Thats all you know?
Stolas: I cant know everything about him!!!
N: *getting in front of Uzi because he is geting scared of the bird* OK, OK, please, calm down. Is just weird that you dont know more... basic stuff, thats it.
Stolas: Oh, please, like you know everything from each other!
Uzi: *still behind N* N is a very kind, sweet, gentle, warm, adorable, enthusiastic, patient person, who really loves dogs, specially Golden retrievers, and who would give his life for anyone else. He is also a really brave person, specially when is about someone he cares. He also loves drawing. AND I SHOULD ADD HE IS VERY GOOD AT IT.
N: *blushing hard* Wow... thanks, Uzi... I... I didnt expect that...
Uzi: Of course... You are my boyfriend... I... Anyway! *moving to stay in front of N* Now you see my point?
Stolas: Well, yeah, but... but... Is because we barely know each other!
N: Then ask him questions. Try to know him.
Stolas: I... I dont know, he always closes himself and is so hard-
Uzi: Maybe if you didnt ask for sexual exchanges...
Stolas: IT WAS CONSENTED!
N: ENOUGH! *grabs Uzi and puts her on his shoulder* I dont wanna talk anymore with you, sir. If you insist on seeing nothing wrong with what are you doing, then you are waisting me and Uzi´s time.
Uzi: Stay away from us.
*they both leave*

Do you have any thoughts on what's up with hussie obsession with combining established characters in the latter half of the comic? Davepeta, Jasprose, Lord English, all the rest of the alpha kid sprites? If that goes towards a discussion of Ultimate Selves, why is the most complete version of yourself someone who isnt even solely you anymore? Love your analysis!
Hello, welcome! Here's a couple approaches:
Sprites, like other alt-selves, can serve the elaboration of self-loathing: Characters want to be happy and are very scared that they are incapable of being happy. Seeing a version of themselves that achieved happiness by integrating another person can be a nightmare, seemingly confirming that misery is a defining feature of their existence. AR mocks Dirk in these terms, leveraging both his alleged supercomputer brain and his integration of Equius to make Dirk feel inferior, intrinsically lacking. Though in Vriska's case, the lack of modification on (Vriska) was also infuriating: their sameness meant that Vriska was not, as she likes to claim, the way she is entirely out of necessity. Alternate selves have a way of making people question themselves, mingled or no.
Sprites provoke an audience response: fans get angry when characters are diluted, be that through prototyping sprites or through "mischaracterization", flanderization, or other unpopular modes of personality change. Rose might call this protecting the brand. So you could allege, as the guys on HMTW occasionally do, that this gesture of defying brand integrity is calculated to raise reader engagement by corrupting a quality of the narrative that readers are invested in. It's a method of trolling.
It's a race-mixing joke: The word "miscegenation" (which replaced the earlier “amalgamation”) was originally coined in an ostensibly abolitionist pamphlet by pro-slavery agents. Their goal was to weaken the Lincoln election campaign by provoking a fear that gene-mixing was the explicit goal of the abolitionists, claiming in the pamphlet that race-mixing created a superior class of being. Insofar as Homestuck is a parody of racist rhetoric, the claim that the Ultimate Self (and the Ultimate Frog) is the product of the endless recombination of divergent selves seems downstream of this sort of sexualized racial fear-mongering -- Rose's ascension (ie her dilution) in the Epilogues plays into this by casting Kanaya as the impotent white cuck against Dirk's black stud: "Hes Going To Take Good Care Of Rose; Probably Much Better Than Id Ever Be Able To" is euphemism for sexual potency. (Cuck jokes have followed Kanaya since her early chatlogs: recall the phrase "Watching Oblong Meat Products Tumble Into Places They Dont Belong") Saturating the narrative with distraught reactions to more abstracted amalgamation serves the story's racial subtext
This isn't by any means exhaustive -- abstract fears of mixing and merging can also be applied to coitus, pregnancy, the blurring of masculine and feminine, etc. The narrative achieves its density and sense of abstraction by applying itself to multiple motifs at once, I tend to think. The different approaches can euphemize one another

how would honkai 3rd play out if otto was wearing cursed long shoes that gave him an ungodly urge to kick people on the ass and he had to fill a one kick per arc quota and he couldnt take the shoes off because he was cursed into liking them
FIRST OF ALL this is literally my favorite ask i've ever gotten so thank you. second of all i hope you dont mind how chaotic this is but i literally wrote everything down exactly as it came to mind, didnt proofread before posting, and also i barely remember half the older arcs. third of all this is a long post so readmore blast 💥
where dreams began + the end of destiny: im sorry but i genuinely dont know what he was even doing during this time. im just gonna say if any anti entropy personel was caught by schicksal they were just unfortunate enough to be the victim.
under the falling sky: you know that scene where he fucking shoots hua. when shes Not Quite Dead Yet he kicks her to add insult to injury
from the deep ocean: once again, i have zero recollection of what he was doing. does he even appear on screen? oh wait yeah in that one bubble universe where he has an orphanage or whatever. good lord i have no idea who that guy would kick. weren't theresa and children the only people there? oh i dont remember this part of the story At All. wait wasnt there a scene where joachim got mad at him or sth? for killing his father? well there you have it. out of character for that particular otto but it's time for a child to get punted
a shooting star streaking across the night: clueless. any suggestions welcome. perhaps void archives gets it, as it is the only one consistently around otto
elegy to yesterday: during world serpent's attack on the divine key testing site, otto Sees His Chance and disguises himself to infiltrate the battlefield for the sole purpose of kicking someone. all the valkyries present know its him bc of the ridiculous shoes but frankly they dont care bc hes a good distraction
here lies bellflower: yet another arc i dont remember. just like, In General. other than the parts bianka was in [yes i am a parody of myself] and the general gist of what happened. so idk </3
taixuan dream: he kicks senti in self defense. moments before being strangled
remaining flames: not really in this one is he. WAIT ACTUALLY NO wasnt his consciousness attached to some random HoD puppet to get the core???? then i guess he just kicked another one and nobody cared bc HoD puppets are just Like That
thus spoke apocalypse: as recompensation for all the confusion earlier, he gets to kick a lot in this one. first of all the false god otto boss fight is different, adding an attack. The Kick. second of all, while fighting in the space near the imaginary tree, he can finally kick as many of them as he can
following his death, afterlife-otto has to defend himself from the angry mob of all the people that died because of him Somehow. and so he gets to kick people until someone inevitably steals the shoes from him in order to reverse the roles. this goes on for eternity. The End

Mad and angry at how these two joke side characters try so hard to be heteronormative but they really aren't and that's where most of their misery comes from. not all of it but most of it, like it very much keeps them in the cycle, because they seem desperate to find a happy storybook ending and this is how they think they'll find it, by trying to be like the same characters that found that happiness. its never addressed but also painfully obvious with how much they don't fit in with the other npcs dear god these characters are queer coded to hell i could write an essay (i accidentally did)
its not even like bretta and zote are straight cis characters these two are bi and aro canonically but its more to do with the gender roles they're trying to replicate, and failing. they suck at it. he is not this emotionally stoic resilient lone knight he is in fact continuously fighting his emotional pain and if you give him the right attention he will stay forever. he'll get angry that you saved him or that he needed your help because YOU dont fit in his story. she's not a forgiving accepting loving damsel in distress she can take care of herself great and will also drop you like a hat if she sees even one flaw in you. because then YOU dont fit her story either. they care so much about their stories because they reinforce the identity they think they're supposed to have but they're also so disconnected with themselves BECAUSE of these gender roles that they dont realize it makes them miserable
the biggest cause for this is that they are lonely isolated individuals and dont understand or know enough about real people so they have to go off their storybooks and it only keeps them alone. its like you have to be stubborn about saving them and staying by their side so they can get that chance to change and thats exactly what the knight does. its stubborn as hell it will save them again and again and it will fight their dumbass crushes as many times as it takes to make them realize what they're doing is painful. and bretta gets that chance, she leaves the town that isolated her and goes to find something better, most importantly she gets experience. zote gets to stay alive, which is the best thing you can do for him. because now he might get to face his pain, whereas in death he never gets to overcome it, just escape it
its also very funny that when the game pushes them together in this fake relationship its purposely depicted as completely ridiculous and an obvious parody and you also have the chance to beat it to the ground multiple times. whereas the two more meaningful love stories that you get to help happen are mlm and wlw and completely unapologetic about it this game is GAY

Spoilers if you still haven't read the new jjk leaks so...
I really cant believe that your prediction of Gojo's battle ending up like Kaneki's beatdown has come full circle...my God even the one where he is lying dead chopped up with no arms and legs is exactly the same.
What are your thoughts on the conclusion of this battle or the whole progression of the story rn,because this really cemented Gege's bad writing at its finest for me.Such a lamest and most underwhelming death granted to one of the most well written character of the series with an offscreen death coupled with his whole afterlife dialogues dickriding Sukuna saying he wouldn't have stood a chance even without sukuna using 10s when the whole battle contradicts this,then Nanami telling Gojo that they always knew Gojo was a battle junkie and didn't care for others,committing a massive character assassination.Just why did Gege had to butcher his character this much?Im so livid right now with the way his death was executed and Gojo's character arc without achieving anything in his life and says he doesn't have any regrets and satisfied? I decided to drop the series because this all left a sour taste in my mouth and knows that there are more ridiculous asspulls to come in the future.But there are some theories going online saying Gojo will come back by rebirth or as a vengeful spirit by going North and correlating to the Lotus flowers in the panels.I still dont believe this will happen since Gege ruined the character for good,but I need to know your predictions on this one too to huff on my tiny amount of copium.
Tumblr media
I CALLED IT! *EVERYONE BEGINS HIGH FIVING ME*
Tumblr media
Besides the fact that I have proven without a doubt that I can see the future and therefore I can tell everyone with confidence Megumi will live until the end of the manga (this is a joke, or is it?), I have some more to say on the rest of your ask anon.
I'm not going to comment on whether or not I think this is good or bad writing. For me the question is not "is Gojo's death written well?" but rather "What does Gojo's death mean for the story?"
I'll address some parts of your ask and remember I'm not really agreeing or disagreeing with you, just trying to analyze why Gege made the story choices that he did.
with an offscreen death coupled with his whole afterlife dialogues dickriding Sukuna saying he wouldn't have stood a chance even without sukuna using 10s when the whole battle contradicts this
In this case I believe Gege offscreening the death is a pretty classic bait and switch. It happens exactly the same way that Kaneki's fight happens in chapter 143 of Tokyo Ghoul: Re, we as the audience see a build up to a big climactic fight between Kaneki and Juzou two of the most powerful characters in the manga only to literally skip the entire fight and show it's conclusion: Kaneki limbless on the ground.
It inspired a huge controversy back in the old days of the Tokyo Ghoul fandom too, imagine if instead of just skipping the final moment of the fight we skipped the ENTIRE fight between Gojo and Sukuna. Just Nah, I'll Win *Smash Cut to Gojo cut in half* The last chapter also ends with this, declaring Gojo's victory.
Tumblr media
My friend Comun said basically after this Gojo was guaranteed to lose because in shonen manga the second a character is entertain that they'll win they have the rug pulled out from underneath them. It's the same reason that when you're making a plan to have a heist in a heist movie you whisper it at first instead of explaining the whole plan ahead of time. If you just explain the whole plan and everything goes according to plan you've spoiled your own story.
In other words the classic bait and switch the audience is led to believe one thing and then slapped in the face with something else. This is just my justification for why I think the ending to the fight is offscreened, the same way it is for Kaneki's fight with Juzou, it's almost parodying battle shonen. Jujutsu Kaisen is a story where characters fight, and Gojo and Sukuna is one of the most hyped up fights in the manga, but the fight is not the most important part the characters are. Fight mechanics are important to the story, but they don't trump everything else so less important to the question of how Gojo lost, or even seeing his loss onscreen is the question of why he lost.
In my opinion the reason Gojo lost is because he was fighting for the wrong reasons, he cared far more about winning a satisfying fight then he did saving Megumi the kid he was responsible for. Gojo is kind of like the audience, he cares more about the battle aspect of shonen manga then the characters, so the author denies both Gojo and the readers their climax.
This is what we call an Anti-Climax.
As a result, the subversion of the climax, the Anticlimax, is probably almost as old. The anticlimax is when you're set up for a climax, such as a spectacular, battle-to-end-all-battles between the hero and the villain. It's built up more and more until the suspense is extremely exciting, and the reader/viewer can't wait for it...then the hero kills the villain in one hit, or the villain spontaneously drops dead [...] Anticlimaxes can work well if it's clear that the subversion of audience expectations is the point, either for humorous purposes [...] or as a more serious commentary on the genre of the work.
It's alright if you're disappointed though because fights are one of the main draws of the series, I'm just explaining the trope that's at work here. As for Gojo saying he wouldn't have stood a chance against Sukuna if he was going all-out I'm not sure precisely that's what he said. He just says he's unsure he would have beaten him even without the ten-shadows, that it would have been close. It's also not completely out of left field that Gojo found Sukuna challenging.
Tumblr media
We are told beforehand that Sukuna is holding back a move, because Gojo only has to defeat Sukuna, while Sukuna has to do a boss-rush marathon and beat Gojo and everyone who comes after him. We also receive this piece of foreshadowing, Sukuna saying "Very Good" after Mahoraga succesfully cleaves off Gojo's arm which was likely him learning the technique that he'd use to finish Gojo. He even called Mahoraga his shadow.
Tumblr media
Someone else pointed out that Sukuna was also winning the domain battles pretty thoroughly before Sukuna started to use the TenShadows in the fight so I don't think Gojo's statement of how he could have won with his techniques was that out of left field.
If it were not for Sukuna's whim of wanting to use Mahoraga, he would have beaten Satoru and it is even implied that Sukuna allowed himself to be hit so that Mahoraga would adapt to Satoru's infinity. Even in their activation of domains Gojo had to destroy and regenerate his brain five times while Sukuna didn't have this problem, this is because Sukuna didn't lose his domain as many times as Satoru because we must not forget that Sukuna's domain doesn't need barrier like Gojo's so it was easier to destroy Satoru's domain than Sukuna's.
Yet another person also pointed out that Gojo acting completely on top of his game the whole fight and confident in his victory, and yet seemingly contradicting that at the end by saying he might have lost even if Sukuna didn't have the Ten SHadows makes sense if you consider the fact that Gojo was putting on a show for his students. He had to appear absolutely confident he was going to win in front of them to make them feel safe. Whereas, with Geto he's with a peer so he can be more honest about what he thought his chances were.
There's another shift after the opening stage of their fight in chapter 224. What always stuck out to me from that chapter was Gojo noticing that their fight was being broadcasted. After he spots Mei Mei's crows, Gojo never, not once, for the remainder of the fight expresses doubt in himself in any outward way. We see frustration, we see anger, we see surprise, but never doubt. Never worry. And what does he say as soon as he get's the upper hand in the fight?
Tumblr media
As for the final part of your post:
Im so livid right now with the way his death was executed and Gojo's character arc without achieving anything in his life and says he doesn't have any regrets and satisfied?
I don't think Gojo said he was satisfied. In fact it's the opposite.
Tumblr media
Gojo's unsatisfied because of two reasons, number one he wasn't able to push Sukuna into giving his all, and number two that Geto wasn't among the people who were saying goodbye to him before he went off to fight. I did an entire post, on why I don't think Gojo is satisfied with his death at all.
However, the TLDR: Version, Gojo could have chosen to fight for two things, number one to be the strongest and number two for the sake of his connections to other people. Gojo chooses the first and he fails at that. He's not only no longer the strongest but he couldn't give Sukuna the fight of his life. He's unsatisfied for that reason. He's also unsatisfied because he deliberately gave up all of his personal connections in life, and chose to only focus on being the strongest. Not only did he fail at being the strongest but he also lost Geto and practically everyone else. If he'd have chosen to fight for personal connections instead then maybe things would be different and Geto would still be alive, and he'd be more satisfied because he could have lived a life with genuine connections to other people, but that's not what he chose.
If anything I think it's there to connect him to TOji and the way they died. They both die offscreen and die standing on their feet. In Toji's final moments he thinks he only chose to fight for his personal pride but then Megumi flashes by his mind.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In Gojo's final moments he thinks about how much he regrets that he wasn't able to give Sukuna a true challenge, and then Geto flashes by his mind. He could have chosen to live for something other than pride, the same way Toji could have chosen to live as a father and that possibility flashes before their eyes before their deaths.

Here comes trouble
amazing song suggested for Ruggie and i turned it into an AU where ruggie overblots rather than Leona.
Used dialogue from "An Urge to Concede" from book 2, after the italisized text is where the AU starts. Also the song part of the parody is going to be animatic styled to flow a bit better.
"... Tch whatever. I dont even care anymore." Leona grumbled his attitude dropped like a rock in a pond.
"what?" ruggie said somehat dumbfounded by his dormleaders sudden 180 in attitude.
"i'm done. its over." Leona said with a sigh.
"Boss, what are you saying?!" Ruggie said anger and disbelief burning in his exclamation.
"Are you even payin' attention? If Malleus is able to take the field then we got no chance of winning." Leona explained, an air of depression slouching his shoulders. "There's no point even trying. I'm out."
"Y-you can't just...!" Ruggie begged before catching himself and trying to reason with the now sulking lion. "Malleus might still be in the game, but we took out all the other dorms' best players, right? But without you on the field, I don't even know if we'd have a shot at the top three!" He said ears drooping. "You're just going to abandon our dreams?" He said somewhat quietly, unwilling to believe the words he was hearing.
"For all the talk about "the world watching," this is still just schoolkids playin' a game," Leona said sharply. "All you wide-eyed tenderfoots talkin' about your dreams... Pfft. The whole thing amused me, so I threw you a bone. That's all this was." The other students and Ruggie flinched at that. at how their hope and excitement was all for nothing.
"What do you mean? What happened to working together to "turn the world upside down"?!"Ruggie asked desperately, he felt a burning in his heart and he wanted so desperately to believe that all that he had gone through, to finally reach somewhere, was for something. It had to have been for something. Otherwise, why was he so hurt?
"Are you seriously still goin' on about that? All right, fine. You wanna hear the truth?" Leona said now glaring at the hyena boy who was so hard to knock down. "You're a hyena who grew up in a dump, and I'm a secondborn prince who won't ever be king. And there is NO turning that around!" Leona roared and Ruggie felt his greedy little heart break. And from that breaking, he felt anger, rage, indignancy at all that he had done for Leona.
"What? You gotta be kidding me! What is this? You can't just quit after we've come this far! Not after all the hard work we've done, that I've done!" Ruggie said now indignant. The other Savanaclaw students agreed and Ruggie could feel something building up inside of himself but he didn't care. After using up basically all of his magic with Azul's potion, he was beyond pissed at how easily Leona gave up.
"After eveything, we've done! after everything that We worked together to achieve?! you just give up like that?! leaving nothing but crushed dreams?" Ruggie could feel something leaking from his eyes but he refused to back down now. "We're your pack! and you better start acting like a leader or else..."
"or else what Bucchi? You gonna cry about it?" Leona scoffed. "Go ahead and whine all you want. There's no changing that we'll lose it's easier to just give up little hyena." Ruggie felt something snap.
"I've seen people just give up." he said darkly glaring at the ground. " and It never helped anyone. I've never given up because I couldn't afford to." He started to growl, a darkness starting to drip from his eyes and fingertips. The others around him could sense something was very wrong. "You prissy little prince couldn't even handle a small bump in the plan before giving up?! shehehehahahahaha!" Leona's ears went down as more darkness started to pool around Ruggie.
"What did you say to me mutt?" Leona growled back, unwilling to back down from the one he thought was always above. Riddle tried to cut in but he was suddenly frozen in place, many of the students around were too.
"I've worked my tail off day in and day out. If I just gave up I WOULDNT EVEN BE HERE. And you wouldn't either! I'm tired of your high and mighty attitude." Ruggie screamed moving his hands wildly, everyone else around him other than Leona following his movements.
"you know what would happen to you back in my cut of the neighborhood Second born prince. You would be mugged and beaten to no tomorrow. So Leona, here comes trouble." he said darkly before a large burst of dark energy sent everyone back and kicked up large amounts of dust into the air.
"Overblott!" ace and deuce yelled when they got onto their feet. Mc watched and pointed in horror as some of the dust started to clear.
"Lilia! get the other students to safety and warn the faculty!" Riddle shouted to the fae nearby. he nodded and rushed through the dust to grab those injured, silver and sebek following quickly. Riddle, ace, deuce, grim, mc, and even Leona gathered and readied themselves as the negative energy settled over the field.
The dust settled and they heard multiple people laughing along with ruggies signature laughter, distorted and echoed through the now emptied playing field. Ace and deuce pale as they saw the incarnations of Ruggies blott separate from his body. Instead of one large monster usually behind him though, there were 3 regular-sized hyenas circling around the hyena boy, all giggling and laughing in an ominous way.
Tumblr media
(ART IS NOT MINE! I found the art here! it was too perfect to not use)
"Bucchi, get a hold of yourself. idiot! you're going to get yourself killed!" Leona yelled at the raggedly clothed beastman.
"shishishishishihiihihihe! You think I care about that now?! I'm stronger than you leona. Always has been if you gave up and cried about something not going your way." The other hyenas around him laughed and started to stalk toward the group of students, the broken glass bottles they had for heads seemingly smirking at them.
"Snap out of it Ruggie! this is dangerous!" jack said getting into a fighting ready position.
"Shishishi. Poor little Frosh. It's too late to turn back now. Let's have some fun shall we fellas~" Ruggie cackled before launching a dark attack as the hyenas pounced. As the battle began dark music could be heard floating through the magically charged dust filled air. (song!!)
Ruggies voice echoes around: They say that I'm a nightmare Guess I'll catch you in your dreamsHe appears behind them from the dust: I come out of nowhere! I will haunt you in your sleep
He's now holding ADeuces magical pens: Yeah you should've known I'd never do what I'm told He tosses them behind himself smirking: I'm running in the fast lane Yeah I'm going rogue
The attacking bot monsters laugh and sing: "Here comes trouble Here comes trouble! Ruggie laughs as he dodges and swipes at riddle: I'm out of my cage You should be afraid Ruggie gets hit by one of Leona's spells and wipes at his cheek with a smile: Here comes trouble
Two of the hyenas sing and laugh as they circle: (La la-la la-la la-la la) hahahahaha!
He slinks behind the group before disappearing back into the dust: Catch me in the shadows Creeping around in your head He throws a flurry of spells as the blots all attack: got that bravado He makes a sliting throat motion: Watch me scare you dead
he gets multiple hits hit on Leona causing him to stagger: Yeah you should've known I'd never do what you've told he easily runs out of range as the other's spells dissipate behind him: I'm running in the fast lane Yeah I'm going rogue
Ace and grim are knocked down by the hyenas: Here comes trouble riddle is knocked back as he tries to dodge: Here comes trouble Ace and deuce suddenly walk next to Ruggie: I'm out of my cage He grabs their heads and slams them together, dropping them: You should be afraid
He launches them into the dust: Here comes trouble~ A hyena on his right shaking from laughter: (La la-la la-la la-la la) He takes a step forward: Trouble Hyena on his left shaking its head mockingly: (La la-la la-la la-la la) Ruggie smirks as the others take a step back: Trouble
:He tries to swipe jacks pen: Yeah, yeah, I do it like that he snaps his fingers, jack and grim freeze: I'm always on the attack he falls to the floor and the two follow: Lights out, fade to black the hyenas pounce on the two: Yeah, yeah, I do it like that I'm always on the attack he stumbles and laughs as he's hit again by Leona: Lights out, fade to black He screams as he flings his strongest attack: Here comes trouble! The other hyenas echoed his scream: Here comes trouble!
Hes starting to pant: Here comes trouble he flings more and more spells: I'm out of my cage he laughs with crazed eyes smile stretching:You should be afraid fangs bared as he continues his crazed attacking: Here comes trouble
Riddle and Leona advancing and deflecting his attacks: here comes, here comes Ruggie pulled at his smile in pain as its stuck abnormally large by blot running from both his eyes: Trouble the hyenas as they attack on the downed first years: (La la-la la-la la-la la) here comes, here comes Jack unleashing beast and protecting the others: Trouble Hyenas hit away by jacks beast form: (La la-la la-la la-la la) here comes, here comes Ruggie screams out as he stumbles from jacks final blow: Trouble The hyenas dissipate: (La la-la la-la la-la la) here comes, here comes Just as Ruggie passed out and the music cuts: Trouble-

what are some eps u would love to see for s17 or other future seasons?
in my ideal world s17 is just eight twenty minute long gay and lesbian porn videos but since rcg are cowards ummm
first and foremost i hope s17 finale is dee's emotional arc. i think any pairing of characters would work for this but it HAS to be a paired plot (in group plots they all tend to gang up on her). in my ideal world its deetress and they kiss at the end but really i just would love to see a proper dee character study that deals with her family issues/dynamics and misogyny and is also a little silly funtime :) adn i want the cunt of the year award in it. best episode
mac sues tylenol episode. he gets diagnosed with autism and sues tylenol for making him autistic and the entire episode is very controversial but i, the most autistic person in the universe, love it and thats all that really matters
mac gets a boyfriend for REAL this time or maybe not idrc at its core i just want to see mac have sex with a man kiss a man SOMETHING jesus christ how is it that he came out as gay four seasons ago CONSTANTLY talks about how much gay sex he has and yet we have not even gotten to see him kiss a boy on the cheek. its homophobic, unironically. if rob cared about gay people there would be full penetration
charlie day episode. i want them in the sewers naked uncensored looking for goblins for twenty full minutes i dont care. the screaming pillow gets covered in shit water and its the grossest thing in the universe and it makes me cringe because i hate potty humor but well what did i expect
not really an episode idea but i want more kidnapping. and poisoning people. and gay little home movies made on the same 20 yr old video tape :) oh also i love when they sing together they are soooo silly bestfriends <3 i think they should do another song
also i want another halloween episode its my favoruite kind of episode i love the costumes and i think it should be a slasher parody thing i think that would be fun and camp for them to do :)

Rules: share some unpopular opinions about 5 different fandoms of your choosing tagged: by the lovely @astarkeytagging: @the-maidofmischief @usergirlfailure @witcherz @candicepatton @klinejack @burningblake @mistyquigly @reysorigins @jamescarstairs @fredweasleying @ariespedro @userbettycooper @ilslayfaust i don't think i have alot of unpopular opinions, but okay
Yellowjackets: Teen!nat & travis are the most skipable scenes, i dont care for them together, and i feel like it takes away too much storyline for nat. atleast in s1, to me it annoying in a horror show to have this relationship. + even if liked travis, he doesn’t have much personality to me besides his sibling.
From dusk till dawn: Kisa is very very undervalued or not taking serious in the fandom, like she just exists in the background, when she IS the plot. She’s a valueable member ! It’s not just the seth-kate-richie show
The originals: the only reason you would hate camille, is because she comes inbetween other blondie. also camille is also so underrated.
Sex education: maeve and otis should have happend in s2, or s3 WITHOUT the ruby storyline. it ruins both characters to me getting them together at the end. also just scummy
Riverdale: the whole show is pointless, if the ending is based on them being in their original timeline in the 1950’s. i get ras wanting that type of thing. however we’ve seen 1 timeline for 6 years. We’ve been through every silly storyline, and i dont care if that’s on purpose. It’s so poorly done. i dont even see season 7 as the real riverdale, it’s a parody. it would make more sense if this plot was in earlier seasons, or like timelines EXISTED prior to s3. I’m just so annoyed

Nate ranks every transformers thing ever
What:
- Eugenesis
i have no idea how i can ethically rank this as good or bad. its good. its bad. its canon. its fanfiction. it is what it is. dont read eugenesis. please read eugenesis.
God tier:
- Rescue bots
i am not joking. i am not memeing. rescue bots is the best thing to ever come out of the transformers franchise. its the only series to break the three season curse and get a fourth season. it has more episodes than any other series, over 100. it didn’t get cancelled because it wasn’t popular, it ended because they ran out of stories they wanted to tell. then they dropped a sequel series with TWO more seasons. they gave nicole duboc a mainline series for this.
- Mtmte/lost light
life changing. incredible. ruined my life. saved my life. jro is my enemy. jro is my best friend. jro is my dad. i met him once. i showed him my hard copy of eugenesis i paid 150 dollars for and had him sign it. he probably thinks im insane. he DID sign it tho. i think about whirl and cdrw every day of my life
- Cyberverse
I LOVE CYBERVERSE SO MUCH... I don't think any series has captured the pure unbridled chaos of the entire franchise so well. It has so many characters and all of them feel RIGHT. I love the art style. I Love this unhinged soundwave. I LOVE the fresh and interesting new ideas if brought to the table. Season 3 was incredible. The season 4 specials destroyed me. TARN??? TARN IS HERE???
- Rescue bots academy
- Rise of the Beasts
I think that Bumblebee is an objectively better film, I just had more fun watching ROTB lol
- Bumblebee movie
BABY GIRL MY BABY DAUGHTER BABY GIRL BABY BABY
- Earthspark
- Botbots
Yes I am in fact putting botbots this high. This show was so unrepentantly funny. The goof at the beginning show us like oooh space ENERGON crashed to earth the war... Anyway none of that matters lets go to the mall. That is SO funny. They did a chopping mall parody and a Hamilton parody. The protagonist is an unhinged megalomaniac burger.
- Beast wars
don't worry about the visuals you get used to them so fucking fast. beast wars is incredible. the storytelling has so much depth. tigatrons big episode about the cost of their war against the planet and defining what protecting the planet even means changed me. theres an entire episode about farting and rampage and depth charge wanna hate fuck SO bad its fucking unreal
- Recordicons
you WILL acknowledge david willis’s contribution to lgbt history and you WILL laugh at his very funny memes
Great tier:
- Transformers Prime
- Transformers Animated
waspy baby.....
- Idw shattered glass
IM UNHINGED ABOUT SG STARSCREAM AND SG STARFIRE IM ABSOLUTELY UNHINGED
- 86 movie (Bluray remaster)
-the five minutes at the end of earthrise when cog became the main character for some reason
This was the funniest shit I've ever seen. One of the worst most boring shitty tf shows I've sat through with characters I truly care nothing for suddenly lurched sideways as out of fucking nowhere and for no reason at all a random background character suddenly took over the plot and gave the most harrowing performance I've seen in awhile in this horrifically tragic death scene that had my jaw on the floor. And then we just moved on and never spoke of it again ckdhzhcjof. WHAT WAS THAT.... LITERALLY WHAT WAS THAT AND WHY DID THAT HAPPEN....
- Armada (the starscream and Optimus parts)
It is UNREAL how good the starscream and Optimus bits are in this show. When the rest of it is pretty terrible. I would say after starscream dies it's pretty meh but not outright bad, just sort of nothin. The first couple episodes tho are so funny because they're so bad they had no script and were all but ad-libbing the whole thing. They couldn't go two minutes without getting a characters name wrong. Incredible. Anyway this starscream is legendary for being such an interesting and dynamic character with the best design ever. And just like. The coolest character arc.
Okay but also just like do not watch this show in English. The English version is awful and it is More than just a dub!! The Japanese version was finished AFTER the American version despite being animated in Japan!! Because the show! Was not! Done!!! The Japanese version of the show is called micron legend and it's practically a different show. Do yourself a favor and watched micron legend subbed.
- Victory
STAR SABER IS MY DAD OK
also the plot hinges around the premise that current autobot commander star saber found a human infant floating through space and legally adopted him. That's incredible come on
- IDW windblade mini
saren stone could kill me with a brick and i would thank them
- Transformers RiD15 IDW comic

I'm not sorry for this. I don't like it. Boo
- Japanese headmasters
- Armada (the rest of it)
- Energon
- American headmasters
- Robotix *
im fucking unironically convinced when this flopped they just reused the plot for headmasters
- Wfc: earthrise
- Super god masterforce
- Beast wars 2
- Beast wars neo
- Beast machines
- RiD 2001
- 86 movie (pre bluray remaster)
- Cybertron
- Vanpires *
the wildest shit ive ever seen. ive watched every episode. imagine the cgi of beast wars season 1 with integrated live action. theres vampire cars and they "drain the gas from innocent cars" when cars??? not sentient???? the human children got irradiated and now they can turn into fucking horrible car beasts. why was this fucking made
- Bayverse
- Machinama’s Prime Wars
You know a series is bad when the first thing I want to complain about is the sound mixing
- Go-bots (transformers branded)
- Wfc: kingdom
Elite one my beloved I am so fucking sorry
Burn in hell tier:
- Rid15
Copaganda to rival paw patrol
- Exodus
This book called me a slur
- Hayato sakamoto’s Transformers Legends
- Kiss players
The worst thing transformers has ever done
??? (I still havent read/watched these) tier:
- Robot Masters
- Devastation
I played twenty minutes of this
- WfC
I’ve actually played a few hours of this but i got bored and didn’t finish so I don’t feel like i should rate it, but ultimately i just found it kind of generic and it didnt grab me
-FoC
-Wings Universe
-Unite Warriors
this is illustrated by hayato sakamoto and ive seen enough of like, the horny bathtub art and oversexualized female characters to assume its most likely shit tier, but i think he also brought breakdown back to life and canonized kobd? I do legitimately want to read this eventually
-Transtech
-Marvel comics
-GI Joe transformers crossover comics
-Dreamwave comics
-new energon universe image comic
-Q transformers
I have actually watched the subbed episodes of this but, there’s so few of them and its so clearly not intended for me since this is like a little silly flash cartoon specifically for japanese fans of transformers that its like, of course i dont really get the jokes or anything so even though i found this kind of boring i dont think its bad and i dont feel comfortable putting it on a tier
- TFP tie in games
- Bayverse tie in games
- Earth Wars
Energon enema though
- IDW MLP crossover
- Nezha
Nezha is lost media but it has toys and I have one so uhhhh I guess I'm acknowledging it theoretically exists
* don't act like this doesn't count, once you're deep enough to make a list ranking every transformers thing ever made you have to start counting this type of shit too

I'm obsessed with the dancestors. If you have the time, I'd love to hear your thoughts on a lot of them - none in particular. Just anything you wanna talk about in particular, I wanna hear it. (Haven't gotten to them in my re-read but I'm looking forward to refresh myself on them)
yeah sure i actually just finished the main 3 dancestor walkarounds so its super fresh in my mind!
my thoughts on the dancestors are... mixed. that section sticks out to me as the most mean-spirited part, with how some of the characters are presented. but i do think it is interesting how, even though they have so little screen time, and the fact that they are supposed to be pretty shallow, parody characters without much substance, most of them still have enough depth squeezed into them to be interesting enough to like, obsess over.
like, we are given juuuuust enough information to ostensibly make us actually care about these characters as their own hypothetically complex beings.
some people who love the dancestors say stuff like "if only andrew had treated them like actual characters instead of jokes" but personally i like it the way it is, with only having these crumbs of characters to extrapolate upon. this entire THREE SWEEP LONG session to theorize about. thats the fun part to me.
i do think the most unnecessary thing in homestuck by far was making damara like that. dont like that shit. feels gross. when i was younger i thought it was funny but now its just like eugh. man. did u have to? no. u didnt. not to that extent.
random funny thing that i didnt remember until last night is theres a line where horuss calls damara a "singleton" (because he is plural and she is a singlet) and i found that very funny.
also the look into beforan society through these characters is very intriguing. thats another thing i like, is the subtle world building in there.
thats all i can think to talk about at the moment but feel free to come ramble at me on your thoughts and stuff :) or ask more specific questions abt specific characters n my thoughts on them as well. whatevs
