#i didn't get too much into the familiar dynamics and relationships bc like

[thrilling-oneway]

You are so right with m/f stuff! I’m not familiar with a lot of VBS shipping discourse, but it’s annoying to see how people can’t write an analysis on how important Tsukasa is to Rui without others dog piling them and saying they’re delusional and ignoring canon for their yaoi “with no content”. (At least on twitter, tumblr is much better with this) And as someone whose also bisexual, it’s so annoying seeing people use bisexuality as a gotcha to ship m/f and act as if its progressive and that it gives them the okay to hate on f/f and m/m pairings.

YES YES EXACTLY. God I hate when people keep saying that ruikasa has no content and their dynamic is underdeveloped whenever anyone talks about them. Like as biased as I am because I like the ship, they do have a very developed dynamic regardless of if you like the ship or not. Literally there's three events about it (potato and pandemonium + it was a pretty big background element in curtain call), one of which is the third event in the game. like if you don't like ritk that's perfectly fine, but when people are dogpilling ritk shippers for talking about their dynamic/pandemonium chapter 8/wtv and saying they're reaching, especially if the person doing this is an account dedicated to another rui ship/are a rui fan, it's a bad look because you're literally ignoring a very significant part of his arc. Ignoring massively important aspects of a character you claim to like just because of a ship is low. This fandom is way too set on everything being about shipping like bruh no one is telling you that you had to view pandemonium as romantic you can view it as platonic perfectly fine and not need to erase parts of rui's character to justify your rui/female character ship.

it's an especially weird situation with VBS as well. as much as I hold the earlier EN fandom to a higher standard there was a lot of discourse around VBS and the fact that they're implied gay. like it used to be a situation where if you admitted you shipped m/f vbs you would get jumped. as a comeback people would accuse biphobia but i never saw huge amounts of people being actually biphobic. saying "an and kohane are quite heavily implied to be lesbians (and it makes some people uncomfortable to see them shipped with men)" is a true statement but people didn't need to attack others over it. not liking a bi headcanon isn't biphobic unless you're actually being biphobic about it yknow? luckily it calmed down after a while but now you get jumped for not shipping m/f which leads us straight back to the statement about an and kohane. gbr the situation with vbs shipping nowadays is much worse than the situation when i first joined, obviously partially bc of the massive increase in fandom size but mainly because people are spewing actual homophobic rhetoric over akty ankh (someone literally tried to claim heterophobia was real bc of people not liking m/f vbs a couple months ago. actually this has happened multiple times).

AND YES GOD THIS FANDOM'S APPROACH TO BI HEADCANONS IS SO FUCKING ANNOYING. Like people only use it as a way to make m/f ships more queer and try to 1 up people with it because oh yes male/female couple are not the norm at all and they're so cool and different and if you add a bi/pan hc on top of that it makes you more progressive (/s). HCing a character as bi does not give you cool points and the fact that so many people only do it for m/f ships pisses me off to no end because people treat it like Straight 2 when bi people can be in m/m and f/f relationships. People can hc whatever they want ofc but it's so obvious sometimes that people are only using bi hcs as a way to quickly round off their hcs for every character so they can multiship or justify their m/f ships as queer and at that point I'd rather they just hc'd them as straight because I don't like seeing my identity used solely for the purpose of making a ship more queer because someone doesn't want their m/f to be a hetship.

I love exploring new ships bc it gives me more perspectives on the characters and I get to see how different kinds of love change them as a person. So.

all this to say do you have any good starter recs for merwenthur 🙏✨

Hey :) I've only been in the fandom a few months and I mean it when I say I haven't read much Merlin fanfic (I've spent way more time here on tumblr than on AO3).

But since you asked me, personally my recommendation for a starter Merwenthur fic would be Choose and Choose and Choose by fleete.

I think it's the fic that got me actually interested in this ship in the first place, and also probably the only longish Merwenthur fic I've read (though it's only about 11k word).

You might have read it already, because it's the one Merwenthur fic I keep recommending – in which case you can skip the next few paragraphs (sorry). But I'll put another couple of links at the end if you want to check out more stuff.

fleete's fic is about the three of them getting together, and the "triggering event" is Gwen jokingly confessing to Arthur how she kissed Merlin after he almost died from drinking poison that one time. And Arthur has... an interesting reaction to that revelation.

You know when you read a fic and it just makes something click for you? This fic did so for me, and it just happens to tick many of my boxes in terms of tropes, too.

I love the characterisation; the three of them didn't feel too OOC even when they were doing things they never would in canon.

I liked the slight awkwardness around sex of Arthur and Gwen, because they're medieval 20-somethings who only recently lost their virginity to each other, and I found it realistic and also kind of endearing. I liked the tenderness and the vulnerability of it.

I liked the dynamic of the whole triad, but especially between Gwen and Merlin because in this fic it feels like their S1 friendship again and it's clear that they care about each other a lot, and in some Merwenthur I've read their relationship feels a bit like an afterthought at times, coming second to Merlin’s relationship with Arthur, or Arthur’s with Gwen.

I don't know, I guess The Vibe in this story just felt right to me, and I loved it to bits.

A lil excerpt:

Before this, Merlin was a comfortable presence at Arthur’s side. He was like Arthur’s right arm. Or maybe, more precisely, like one of Arthur’s old battle wounds: occasionally annoying, but a familiar part of his body. And now. Merlin seems to have acquired his own body. And a pair of lips. Lips that Gwen kissed. It’s absurd how little time it takes for his mind to spin Gwen’s original, innocent story into something more tawdry. He pictures Gwen sitting in Merlin’s lap, rubbing her thumb under his chin, pushing up until he consents to let his head fall back. Gwen would pull down Merlin’s stupid scarf, admire his Adam’s Apple, feel the beat of his pulse under her fingers, and stroke up and down his throat while Merlin breathed open-mouthed at the ceiling, probably aroused and nervous. Would Merlin be nervous? Arthur thinks so. 

@merlinemrys has also published some Merwenthur fics on AO3, as well as @flight-of-fantasy, who's recently updated their Merwenthur fic. They both might have more to rec.

If you've read or will read fleete's story, I've tried my hand at a sequel, because personally I needed more.

Also!! There's going to be a merwenthur fest soon (!?) so keep your eyes peeled for that 👀

#i fell asleep while typing this yesterday at 1am i hope this makes sense #sorry if I keep reccing the fic that triggered me into writing ~30k words of fanfic after 8 years of nothing #it will happen again #''Merlin seems to have acquired his own body. And a pair of lips.'' #< I love this bit #AND A PAIR OF LIPS. #merwenthur #mergwenthur #arwenlin #merwenthur revival #asks

Ibsen anon here! First of all, I’m glad you even gave a damn about my nerd bullshit ramblings, let alone knew what I was on about, so it was amazing to read your answer. I have a whole lot more to talk about in terms of the parralels of the break up scene.

I managed to find a transcript of Doll’s House online and it turns out there are even more similarities between the play’s ending and BCS. In both scenes, the husband character begins by angrily responding to some semi related issue only to be totally blown away by the revelation that the wife wishes to break off the relationship. There’s a period of increasingly desperate bargaining as the husband refuses to take the wife’s threat seriously and blames the discord on other matters.

Jimmy: “we’ll never come back to this house again”; Helmer: “now is the time for education!”

The conversation becomes increasingly personal as both parties admit that while there is love between them (the exception being how Nora describes Helmer as you point out) it isn’t healthy or productive, hence the wife feels morally obliged to leave. In the end, she does, leaving the husband alone to absorb the shock.

The more I think about it, the more Better Call Saul does read kind of like an Ibsen play. It’s a naturalistic, character driven story where most of the powerful moments are told by dialogue. The original conflict gives way to something far more morally grey and devastating. The best the viewer can hope for is a bitter sweet end.

oh i love nerdy ramblings and finding connections in other stories and allusions across time and media!!! even if i hadn't been somewhat familiar with what you meant, i'd still have appreciated you sharing and finding the parallel! you explained this so well.

this is an aside, but since you mention that it's a naturalistic, character driven story (and i agree!), one thing i'll say is that i relish how they earn their few operatic moments. brba leaned a bit more into that by nature of its western roots and its action styling, whereas bcs is much more noir, but i was talking to a friend about this after 6x08 - lalo and howard being buried in the lab could easily sound goofy on paper. lalo bleeding out and getting an iconic Villain's Last Laugh could play silly. yet both worked, and the shot of that hole in the ground was completely gutting. it achieved what they wanted it to, adding a ghoulish pall over the lab that churns out life destroying poison. it was always a tomb. gus walking out of the room in casa tranquila and straightening his tie with half his face blown off was a moment like that too, where it's allowing itself a stroke of melodrama, but it works and is an indelible, horrifying image.

jimmy and kim's story mostly existing apart from the cartel storyline lent it a particularly grounded reality, especially since we spent a lot of time with them in moments of closeness and in step-by-step thought processes and personal transitions. the something stupid montage works so beautifully not only because we know them well, but because it tells an entire story through the visuals of their days, and being that familiar with their thought processes and emotional responses and relationship to one another makes them feel very real. that's why i think their dynamic affected and touched so many of us even though it didn't follow the story beats some audience members expect from a romance. it wasn't about epic moments with swelling violins, or overt sex (not that there's anything wrong with those things! but it's more what we're conditioned to expect, to be told is love, and it was refreshing to be given this beautiful, heartbreaking story that was crafted so honestly and broke that mold). it was two people finding missing pieces that fit together and building a life as best they thought they could, until they couldn't. it doesn't make their love not real, it doesn't even end it. breaking up when you hate each other is painful and biting, but breaking up when you love each other so enormously that it can barely be expressed, knowing you're ruinous anyway, knowing that love runs so deep you'd literally die and kill for each other and that breaks you? THAT'S Romantic tragedy, baby!

sorry this is so off-topic, too many thoughts in my head

anyway, yes, there has always been an unvarnished honesty and very personal intimacy that we've experienced with jimmy and kim.

i think a thing to consider is kim leaving is only a pyrrhic victory for her. she's not escaping the relationship as much as she's escaping her own skin. while she does feel it's a moral obligation, she does act out of integrity and awareness, she's also imploding. even her conviction they're okay on their own is proven remarkably wrong. so hopefully we still get to a place of her reconciling and self-actualizing. she's such a meaningful female character that i want to hope they won't deny her that. there's no chance for nora ever coming back through the door, and we wouldn't want that for her. his pathetic desire that she might change her mind and come back is more about possession of a wife than it is love. kim and jimmy are a compelling contrast to that idea (since their whole relationship was anything but patriarchal, really!). her walking back into frame wouldn't be a diminishment of her or a denial of her strength, it would be an assertion of sorts, a reconciliation of who she is. bittersweetness can exist with poignancy and power, i think. going with the days of wine and roses theme, they've now hit the rock bottom of their addiction and the unavoidable split, but it concludes with the barest glimmer of hope, and sometimes that's all you need. "you better give up on me." "not yet."

#'is she going to get well?'/'i did didn't i?' the end of that story is about refusing to abandon recovery #my brain is SO tired i truly have no idea what i'm saying here ibsen anon i apologize lol #anyway i very much enjoy and appreciate your insights and intelligent comments! <333 #anonymous #letterbox #better call saul #bcs spoilers

hi. cannot stop thinking abt el and argyle's brief but so so good dynamic. idk the way argyle just. clearly enjoys hanging out with her and making her laugh! i definitely tie it to the headcanon that his family is full of younger kids, and maybe he just finds it easier to interact with people a few years younger than him because it's like. more familiar. but also there's something about argyle saying jonathan is his only friend, and like... el is lonely and isolated in california! i feel like there might even be a degree of recognition in that in the way that argyle always wants to cheer el up (and will as well). idk. love their dynamic even though we got so little of it.

YEAH!!! i like jonathan and argyle's connection because they seem like such lonely little dudes, but i think argyle's specific form of loneliness (or what i assume it is) is more similar to el's than to jonathan's. jonathan strikes me as someone who realized other people didn't like him much when he was young and got used to that loneliness enough to stop seeking out those relationships with other people. nancy and argyle have to insert themselves into his life.

meanwhile, if we're working with the same family/backstory headcanons from previous asks i've received/answered, argyle gets along really well with people because he's so easy-going, but he's awkward in a new space/not around family. maybe he's trying his best to make friends but coming on too strong or coming off as strange—and that's what el is going through (barring lab stuff obviously—i just mean she had a group of friends in the recent past)! argyle sees her dealing with that, and in addition to just clicking with younger people bc of his own younger sisters and cousins, he relates to her struggle with the move. they have a lot of fun potential there.

Sparky sparky sparky! I MUST hear ur thoughts on wlw jasico and mlm pipeyna I'm so intruiged!!

OMG YES IM ABSOLUTELY SO VERY GLAD TO TALK ABOUT IT MORE

okay so for the genderbend au im literally just switching my headcanons from what i have in the already canon universe 😭 for simplicity imma just say my genderbend au gender/sexuality hcs before i actually get into explaining dynamics and stuff (under cut since this is a ramble-y post)

nico - transfem genderfluid lesbian, she/he

jason - transneutral nb bi, they/she

reyna - transfem gay, he/they

piper - transneutral queer, they/he/she

also cw for talks of dysphoria and queerphobia

okay so first off wlw jasico bc yes. i love them sm. nico deals with a lot of dysphoria and comphet, a good deal of that comes from growing up closeted in the 30s. she's still got the idea that all "real" girls settle down with a nice guy and start a family, which she doesn't want, so it causes her a deal of dysphoria. after she spends some time at cj, she makes good friends with reyna and jason, both of whom are openly queer at the time. jason being bi and reyna being trans as well. they share experiences and help her learn to accept and love the fact that she's trans and a lesbian. eventually, he and jason develop feelings for each other but keep their relationship private. not necessarily secret, but they didn't go around telling everyone about the details and intricacies of their relationship.

now onto mlm pipeyna. i really like the idea of transmasc lesbian reyna in the normal pjoverse so naturally in a genderbent au im a sucker for the idea of transfem gay reyna. i think reyna would come to terms with himself fairly easily, given the fact that he doesn't really wanna change much about himself??? i see him still going by he/him pronouns because of familiarity and adding they/them pronouns to the list. both sets offer a certain kind of comfort for two entirely different reasons. they knew they liked guys since they were like 11 and basically just said "oh. yeah ok we'll go with this." didn't really tell anyone, just kinda let them figure it out when they never talked about any girls they liked and mentioned his various boyfriends he's had over the years. they're not too invested in romance but enjoy it and are a overall very good partner. piper i think probably took more time to accept themself, but when they did they had a very "oh you don't like it? sucks ig" attitude towards people who gave her shit about it. so im very much lead to believe that the two of them were comfortable with each other right off the bat and eventually developed feelings for one another. reyna took more time to develop feelings i think, but eventually were cool with how they saw piper and asked him out.

this was me when i saw this ask

ty for letting me ramble about this 😭 <33

#stfu sparky #pjo #hoo #toa #nico di angelo #jason grace #reyna avila ramirez arellano #piper mclean #im actually so tempted to write a fic about this bc i have so many thoughts and feelings #i also have thoughts about wlw leo and nico #bc why wouldnt i #also trans fem percy and trans masc anabeth #*annabeth #SO ManY thoughts and feelings about this #spins in a circle and falls over #sparky answers

Word of Honor Review

I finished watching Word of Honor so I thought I'd write a review of it! I feel like a lot of ppl I follow/who follow me have already seen this so I'm not gonna be too thorough/organized, just some thoughts that occurred to me. Also there will be spoilers, so the rest is under the cut.

The Plot

I didn't enjoy the intrigue side of the plot that much. Imo to properly enjoy a revenge scheme, whether or not it's carried out, it's better to know the details of the revenge from the start--who's seeking revenge, what they're seeking revenge for, how they're seeking this revenge, and who they're targeting. You don't need ALL that information from the get-go, but when a show does like Word of Honor and I only find out why Wen Kexing is seeking revenge halfway through the show, I'm just not as invested in it. Other ppl might enjoy the mysteries of Wen Kexing being slowly unveiled, and I wasn't NOT into that, but as regards secret identities, I prefer dramatic irony over curiosity. For that reason I wonder if I'd enjoy the beginning of this show more if I watched it a second time.

As for the entire jianghu fighting over the Glazed Armor, eh. Besides Zhang Chengling, there's just no one involved in that dogfight I cared about, so it took up more time than I would have liked.

The romance side of the plot (I would struggle to call this a bromance, though I know it technically is) is more fun, Wen Kexing and Zhou Zishu getting to know each other, Zhou Zishu slowly learning more and more (often alarming) info about Wen Kexing while Wen Kexing grows more and more invested in Zhou Zishu's wellbeing and their relationship. They're also just very flirty and fun.

I wish the pacing had been a bit more even. The beginning feels rather slow, the middle's pretty steady, and the end is pretty rushed. If we had a few less "Oh no, everyone wants the Glazed Armor" episodes and a few more "fuck, Zhao Jing is dead but the whole jianghu still hates Ghost Valley and also Xie'er is a scheming, betraying asshole and also Zhou Zishu is on the verge of death" episodes (instead of like... two of those), that would be pretty nice. That said, I can't say there was a period of the show I didn't enjoy; even when things are slow, it's just fun watching Wen Kexing and Zhou Zishu interact.

Zhou Zishu and Wen Kexing (And Their Relationships!)

I thought based on what people say about the show that I would be all in for the antihero/villain protagonist aspect of this show, but eh. Actually Zhou Zishu and Wen Kexing's (at least apparent) apathy towards killing in the first couple episodes really turned me off and made it hard to connect to them. I found it easier to empathize with them when 1) it became clear that Zhou Zishu DOES feel guilt over his past actions (yes this should have been obvious to begin with given the seven nails, but it's not always emphasized) and 2) Wen Kexing has Reasons for being fucked up. There's more angst that way, too!

I love Zhou Zishu, the one who led a secret spy force, being in some ways the more honest of the pair, and I love him as the one who's further down the road of "not evil anymore I want to be loved now". I love him just... taking his hair down after quitting Tian Chuang because he's officially in Soft Mode, and the unnatural vibe when Tian Chuang captures him and he's presented to Prince Jin with his hair up, forced back into that role. His dynamic with Prince Jin in general is super interesting--especially how Prince Jin doesn't seem to have valued him that much while he had him, and at first is only angry at him leaving, but later is willing to beg him to come back, realizing that without Zhou Zishu he's alone.

In more functional relationships, Zhou Zishu and Ye Baiyi's family friend dynamic is so perfectly polite, artificially familiar without really knowing each other. Zhou Zishu and Han Ying make me very sad. And Zhou Zishu and Zhang Chengling (and the rest of the new Four Seasons disciples) make me annoyed bc damn it, Zhou Zishu, it's one thing if you're going to die, but if you're going to be an immortal hanging out on an ice mountain in the middle of nowhere for the rest of forever, you could invite your disciple(s) up there for at least a while in order to finish his (their) training! Even the epilogue can't fix this for me.

For Wen Kexing, I enjoyed him being casually flirty, but whenever his eyes widen or start glinting and he goes either calculatedly threatening or actually mad, that's the good stuff ;). Maybe the first moment I really loved him was when he tried to convince Zhou Zishu that watching ppl fight to the death over Glazed Armor from an inn rooftop was Great Fun. He really thinks that! Wen Kexing, no!

I enjoyed his relationship with Gu Xiang a lot; at first Gu Xiang annoyed me but later I liked how he wasn't just protective of her but saw her as someone similar to himself, someone who'd been through similar trauma, whose personality had been forged into a similar shape of violence and a craving of affection, safety, and acceptance--someone who faced the same dangers as him (both physical and emotional) and who, too, might want to seek love and independence and leave Ghost Valley behind. While Gu Xiang understands Wen Kexing and accepts him in a way that many others wouldn't, too.

Also I love every time Wen Kexing and Ye Baiyi interact. The way they rub each other the wrong way from the beginning, and while Zhou Zishu and Wen Kexing's bantering and mutual annoyance is harmless play, Wen Kexing and Ye Baiyi always are on the verge of something more dangerous--and in the end, when the facade of friendship between them breaks at the revelation that Wen Kexing is the Ghost Valley Master, it feels inevitable but still somehow upsetting because the fragile balance of friendship, even if it was based on deception, was still something real. Also every time they FIGHT fight, it's like... hand impact goes BOOM! what more could you want.

As for WenZhou itself, it's just fun to watch those two hang out. But also, they really do get each other. There's a moment where Zhou Zishu is remembering all his good times with Wen Kexing and there's this heartwarming montage of their past interactions, and then he (who currently thinks Wen Kexing is dead), says, "Actually, I knew what you wanted all along". And at the time I thought to myself, yes, he wanted to be with you forever/have sex with you, the montage makes that obvious. But Zhou Zishu says, I can't remember the exact words, something like, "You wanted to destroy this world and kill everyone in it", and like. What a great followup to a heartwarming montage. Wen Kexing almost always shows Zhou Zishu a smiling face, but Zhou Zishu knows the turmoil lying underneath, and although at first he wants to change it, later he's even willing to accept it and comes within an inch of saying Wen Kexing was right to feel that way. That's love.

Zhao Jing and Xie Wang

Finally, some thoughts on the villain villains of this show!

Zhao Jing is boring as hell but for this show that's pretty much what he should be. After all, this show (and Wen Kexing) doesn't see Zhao Jing as the root of all evil in the jianghu, the root of the MC's problems. It's the jianghu at large that is the issue, the accumulation of petty ambition and cowardice, ppl neglecting to stand up for what's right and easily accusing others of wrong. Zhao Jing is just the best person to represent this type of banal evil, and he really is fucking banal. Like, we know he had an inferiority complex to the rest of his friend group, and there's no apparent reason for it, he just did. Most of his big murders he didn't even commit but got someone else to do--Gao Chong wielding the blade he poisoned, Ghost Valley killing Wen Kexing's parents, etc etc. He's just this boring ambitious guy who knows how to manipulate ppl and get what he wants. I have no idea what Luo Fumeng saw in him but I guess that's her problem.

Also I think Zhao Jing would never have seen his ultimate fate coming. Like he could picture Wen Kexing or some other foe killing him, or his ambitions ending in disgrace. But Xie'er breaking his leash, betraying him, and keeping him as a helpless prisoner for the rest of his (admittedly short, but only by happenstance) life? It's not within his range of calculations; he really, really doesn't pay enough attention to Xie'er.

Liked Xie'er a lot! I've seen ppl say he's a lot like Wen Kexing but I don't really agree with that. I mean, they're both silk hiding steel, suave and friendly, obsessed with their man, and actually very violent with a terrible reputation, so there's that. But Xie'er's arc is him realizing his master is using him without valuing him, may betray him in the future and is not worthy of following, and ends with him betraying and not-quite-killing his master--seems more Zhou Zishu to me. And the Scorpions seem more similar to Tian Chuang than to Ghost Valley; sure, their personalities are similar to the ten top ghosts, but their function is that of an assassination squad, not that of a Bunch of Evil Fuckers Who Go Around Causing Trouble Bc They're Evil. Anyway idk I think Xie'er is more like Zhou Zishu than Wen Kexing BUT I also think Xie'er/Wen Kexing would be a more fun ship and I wish there was more fic for it. (If anyone has recommendations, let me know.)

Overall

A good show. I don't think it would go on my list of favorites bc 1) like I said, the intrigue plots bore me, and I usually love intrigue and 2) the uneven pacing is annoying. But I liked most of the characters and there was really some great fighting. As wuxia shows go, I'd say I liked it better than Ancient Detective but less than The Flame's Daughter or Handsome Siblings. That's very much a matter of taste, though. (If I ever did a review on The Flame's Daughter or Handsome Siblings you'd find out I recommend them only with a bunch of caveats).

Anyway I'm glad I watched a popular show for once, bc that means there's quite a bit of fanfic and fanart out there! I should have fun.

[bonesandthebees]

ok ok ok. stars time!!!

upon reading the name Myscria in your answers to the ask game, i realized the name seemed super familiar… any chance the name Themiscyra??? supposed home of the Amazon warriors??? also is that partially where the name for the planet comes from??? or is that specifically for the goddess Themis??? care to explain???

way to imply Percy Shelly existed in the Stars universe!!!

Phil calling Wil “little bird” makes me feel things. still not sure what exactly those are, but it’s there. it could just be further familiarity, they’ve gotten so causal now that a random nickname isn’t inappropriate and phil defaults to what is probably a super common elytrian nickname/term of endearment, but that seems unlikely to me bc phil is still playing a game even if wil has partially given up and that’s not the kind of slip-up he would make. he’s too calculating for that.

so, in my mind, that leaves the following possibilities: 1) phil is just messing with him. he’s pushing his buttons, but mostly just for fun to see what kind of reaction he’ll get. it may be entertaining. 2) he’s messing with him for a purpose, continuing to test wil’s limits to gauge his “potential” the same as he’s been doing this whole time. 3) he’s intentionally acting pseudo-parental and endearing not necessarily bc he actually feels that way towards wil (tho it’s not a complete impossibly), but bc he’s trying to build a sense of familiarity and trust. he’s acting this way to influence their relationship to move that direction, at least on some level.

my guess is it’s a combination of all three. #1 seems to be a pretty standard motivation for all phil’s actions, #2 makes the most sense/has the most support from the plot so far, and #3 adds complexity which makes their dynamic more interesting, and makes for some interesting possibilities for tension down the line.

ok i definitely have more to say but i’ll end this ask here. once again thank you so much for all your hard work writing this!!!

hi purple heart anon!!!

omg I'm so glad you picked up on that. yes, Myscira is a reference to Themiscyra the home of the Amazon warriors! And that's also a tie in to where the planet name Themis comes from! yes, Themis is a goddess, but also Themis + Myscira = home of the Amazons so it serves a double purpose as a name. (also, Myrina was the name of one of the Queens of the Amazon in mythology, so that's another tie in).

actually stars technically takes place in our normal universe, just tens of thousands of years in the future. so yes, the Ancient Greeks existed as did ancient poets like Percy Shelly. humans have just been exploring the galaxy for so long at this point that they settled on a lot of different planets (most of which didn't have any life on them in the first place) and so you have 'natives' to different planets that are humans. once a species has been living on a planet for thousands of years I think you can say they're a native even if they technically didn't originate there lol

it's so interesting to see what you guys think about the 'little bird' nickname. very fun to read everyones different theories. I won't comment as usual, but I will point out that you said "that's not the kind of slip-up phil would make" and "he's too calculating for that". based off what we've read so far, that's not an incorrect assessment, but also keep in mind that the story is told from wilbur's pov. I'm not saying phil isn't an extremely calculating mastermind, but wilbur's perspective isn't exactly a reliable basis to form an opinion off of. so do with that what you will.

IT *IS* THE SILVER FOX LOOK!!

HELL YEAH.. i honestly am not a huge fan of the wci arc. i really disliked it the first time i read it but i think there r a lot of things that contributed to that. i couldn't remember a lot of the story from before, i started it in the anime and then switched over to manga at some point so it was a bit of a jarring difference, i have complicated feelings about sanji, and i was really sleep deprived when i was reading it. it was super difficult to get through cuz it just felt like everything dragged on and on.. so when i was rereading i was really dreading coming back to that arc and having to slog through it again. but actually it wasn't that bad. its still nowhere near being a favorite for me, but it does have a lot of good moments. anyways i think u will have a much better time than me and im looking forward to seeing ur reactions!! (as usual)

dragon: "i miss my husband, sabo. i miss him a lot" /ref

one of the sanji tiktoks is actually extremely topical considering what arc ur on so ill probably send it when ur done with wci!!

i watched the scene u sent and!!! robin puts her WHOLE SOUL into that "i want to live!!!" i dont remember the japanese version that well tbh cuz its been so long since i watched it. so the dub is probably what i will remember when i think of that scene now...

i wont kill u for liking la luffy.... because i havent watched it yet LOL. i might end up agreeing with u (although tbh i doubt i will,, i tend to be more fond of things im familiar with). i like edgelord zoro but its only when he has a healthy amount of silliness to go along with it :( im very very sad to hear he isnt nearly as goofy in the live action. ive seen a few moments of him joking around but.. i miss u silly guy... i miss u....

live action usopp seems like he has more rizz than anime/manga usopp (forgive me for using slang. i have been told it sounds really odd when i do bc it sounds like an old man using it LOL). i think that is a very interesting choice!! cuz i love usopp and i do think hes really charming and a lovely person,, but i feel like him having 0 confidence in himself is so important to his character?? but he seemed like he was an enjoyable character to watch so maybe i shouldnt get too hung up on it.

tongue piercing doflamingo is canon to me too 🫡 its very fitting considering hes always doin something with his tongue

straw hat crew supports and encourages sanji to explore his gender because at the end of the day their friend is their friend and gender doesnt matter

im glad i didnt spoil anything phew!!

i will accidentally influence u to like law more. just like u influence me to like sanji more. tradeoff /j

penis death... yeah... penis death.... i love it.. its so insanely funny to me. penis death. also i find it funny that he seems to have a milder reaction to chopper saying it compared to luffy. like is that his soft spot for the cute reindeer showing?? is it bc theyre both doctors?? idk i like to analyze his relationships with the straw hats..

im procrastinating on the tierlist (im actually very busy irl with moving) but i will no t forget to send it,, i swear!!

u probably have turned on sending images in asks but i do this on my phone and im also.. kind of a tumblr noob.. so i dont know how to .. i will look it up. or just send the tierlist (when i make it) in a separate ask on my computer.

in terms of favorite characters we have in common: link, sesshomaru (i still haven't finished inuyasha. its been .. 10 years or something), kagamine rin (although tbh i like len more (im not actually that into vocaloid.. just a little?)), crowley, robin, doflamingo

i do know a lot of the characters on there but havent actually consumed the media theyre part of to feel super attached to them. i have too many things i plan to watch/read/play and i just end up not doing any of it LOL

i will keep trying for sure 🫡 ive been drawing a lot more recently. because.. im hyperfixating on anime characters. did i already say that

im pretty sure that any characters that have black eyes oda just makes them brown whenever their eye color is visible. and similarly, the anime just makes anyone with black eyes have grey or white. i dont know if oda has thought abt most of his characters eye color,, or if he actually does just plan for them all to have brown eyes. but headcanoning crazy eye colors is more fun imo!!

the anime notoriously does NOT know what colors things are. my favorite guy law has grey eyes in the anime and theyre gold in the manga.. which is devastating!? cuz gold is way more interesting and fitting and... yeah. i will forever be upset abt that. if they're gonna whiten all the characters to such a crazy level why cant they change the eye colors that are objectively WRONG (following manga canon)

brown is a good choice for luffy!!

i also love nami having brown eyes. they're pretty!!

grey definitely does work for zoro!! idk hes pretty no matter what.. and i cant clearly picture any color for him. i think most muted colors would look good

usopp having brown would look good too!! i was trying to think of the characters color pallets when i was imagining their eye colors and tbh hes worn a lot of brown so.

YEAH i saw that colorspread n that was why i was like . . yknow what... brown eyed sanji.. bc he looks very pretty there tbh. to go on a bit of a tangent, im kinda a blue eyed hater because my whole family (outside of my dad) has blue eyes . I've seen too much of it.. its boring. my mom has literal baby blues tho theyre so bright and. yeah its.. its striking.. its cool. its interesting. but the rest of us just have regular blue eyes. theyre dark and kind of grey. its too boring!!! and . therefore.. brown eyed sanji.. brown eyed sanji is best .

i am so .. i miss robins early design .. they kept her blue eyes (which again.. are objectively wrong according to manga canon) but they just had to make her like. the palest member of the straw hats. i love her having blue eyes so im not complaining that they didnt fix it but its like ... why did u fix one thing and not the other... i find that very frustrating. i wish they had just kept both her skin color and her eyes LOL. also cowgirl robin was so cool 😢

franky with pink eyes is SO GOOD??? tbh no matter what eye color he has i think it should be bright and vibrant

thats what i was thinking too!! the purple goes with his color scheme.

no worries abt not being able to reply <3

dressrosa is by far my favorite arc!! and then next i think is wano, egghead (the most recent arc), and impel down

those are my absolute favorites but other ones i like are arlong park, syrup village, punk hazard, sabaody/post war/return to sabaody, marineford (this would be another absolute favorite if not for the fact its so painful), whatever arc zoro joined in, drum island, skypeia, and.. controversially i do like fishman island despite also finding it a bit boring

i also rly enjoyed the reverie (it counts as a separate arc on the wiki) this one is apparently directly after wci.. i can never remember when it takes place chronologically. theres not really any action but i dont even care... i dont read for action

people dont like post timeskip one piece as much for some reason? its confusing to me bc almost all my favorite arcs are post timeskip.. im loving the focus shifting to the whole world.. and i love reading about huge world events. and i love theorizing about things. its all very fun

its really hard to choose just a few favorites LOL. i keep wanting to add other arcs i really enjoyed . augh.

what are YOUR favorite arcs :o

hello!!

no u’ve put me on the hannyabul and magellan train now. its my new otp. sorry. u did this

YEA HIS 3 EARRINGS ARE FOR HIS SWORDS!! and yes im. so excited for so MANY wano moments (that i know of but havent been completely spoiled for: everyone in beast pirate disguises, zoro and luffy reunion (+ everyone else ofc!) sanji’s raid suit and subsequent Germa Angst, THE ZORO / SANJI DEATH PACT??. DEMONIO FLEUR!?!??! (GOING TO LOSE MY MIND AT THAT ONE) AND MORE. and if theyre gonna be animation zoro’s earrings like that then damn. i got even more to look forward to on top of tht

i like wci but mostly for the sanji arc. i dont care much for the setting (although the alice in wonderland insp is cool!) and i actually love pudding but the fact she’s apparently 16 puts a bad taste in my mouth every time she’s on screen. it doesnt feel like its dragging on yet but as much as i do wanna continue i keep not having the motivation bc i know i still have quite a bit to go through vjbjfdkn. im glad u enjoyed it more ur second time tho!! (katakuri….gotta get to katakuri at least)

NOT THE DRAGON ROBOTNIK QUOTE JCCNSDKJN “i miss my wife tails”

and yes…YES……SANJITOK/…

HELL YES IM SO GLAD U WATCHED THE ROBIN SCENE. SHE DID PUT HER WHOLE SOUL INTO IT. FUN FACT I WATCHED A PANEL OF THE VOICE ACTORS ON YT AND THAT WAS THE FIRST AND ONLY TAKE . INSANE

yea the opla is so fun and a great ride but like anything it has its problems! although im still just amazed that it somehow seemed to break the live action anime curse and be the only one to do so with moderate success and yet it adapted. probably one of the hardest and longest anime to adapt ever. like how. do tell me if u watch it!! 

jacob is just too hot to play usopp is the issue- KNDFSJSKL /HJ. it’s definitely still played as fake confidence but its a different flavor of it for sure.

and yes beautiful. gnc sanji my beloved. transji my beloved. sanji forced to lipsync for his life by iva my beloved

i am completely ok with this character influencing btw. tradeoff initiated. i actually saw a law post and thought of u the other day!! i was gonna send it to u but i was like i’ll wait for the next letter…so here

idk if this is fanon or canon a lot but ppl say law has a cuteness to weak animals bc of bepo. robin core

THATS ACTUALLY SO FUNNY BC IM IN THE MIDDLE OF TRYING TO MOVE TOO AND AM ALSO BUSY FROM THAT JVBFJD

omg tumblr noob…i’ve been on this damn website for more than 10 years 😭

slay im glad we have some in common >:^) inuyasha was my first actual anime! and sesshomaru my first anime crush…wow. love that guy. [don’t watch the yashahime sequel. i dont wanna talk abt it 😐] and thats valid i love both the kagamine twins!!

i havent had time to draw but man…i draw like. in my mind. u know. i…i think about things…i COULD draw…that counts right,

i agree! i was surprised no one has asked in an SBS but i know it HAS to have been a question so maybe he has a reason he isnt answering??

I HEARD HIS EYES ARE GOLD IN MANGA WHICH IS SO FUCKING COOL?? GOLD EYES ARE MY ABSOLUTE FAV IN CHARACTER DESIGN!! and god. yea. yea. like oh okay you can get the colors wrong on everything and not change them to be right but u can make usopp whiter than a sheet. ok. i see how it is. they even lightened CHOPPER FOR PETE SAKE???

im not a blue eyed HATER but i definitely prefer brown eyes. as a brown eyes haver im pushing back on the blue eye supremacy with spite ‼️

dont even get me started on post timeskip robin. biggest downgrade. like at least franky is still himself and can change his hair and his face is still franky. someone else worded it best in saying oda took away so many features that made robin’s character design recognizable and unique that she feels like a completely different one. APPARENTLY robin was never supposed to be tan and anime assumed that too, but idc if u keep the blue then keep the skin color…its like. blatantly just colorism there

omg…DRESSROSA WAS VERY GOOD! that makes me think…hey have u seen this video . made by the same editor as the last one i sent u also…that makes me so excited to move forward. AND MAYBE ITS JUST BC IM GAY AS HELP BUT I LOOVVED IMPEL DOWN !! 70% FOR THE NEWKAMA AND 30% FOR CROCODILE

i didnt think fishman island was anywhere near as boring or badly paced as i heard. it was literally fine imo. not my favorite but not bad! except um. fishman island sanji can burn pls stop making me hate my favorite character (THOUGH I STAND BY RETURN TO SABAODY SANJI BEING WORSE THAN FISHMAN ISLAND. AT LEAST HE WASNT SNIFFIN PPL WHAT THE *FUCK* WAS THAT]

and i defintely see the post-timeskip haters points sometimes. there’s less time spent with the characters just. getting to interact and chill- partially bc the anime doesnt really do filler now but also partially bc now the crew is so large that oda never writes them all in one place. theyre always splitting up. and also the obvious things like robin getting sidelines and her design change, zoro is less silly, overall there’s less lightheartedness (although at times i can appreciate that). but the thing that bothers me most is it feels like oda got more brave with the off color jokes and sexualization and such. it was there pre timeskip (esp starting around thriller bark) but post timeskip its just like. sexualization and perv jokes are turned up to 200%. and yea im bitter bc sanji got worse in that aspect (although i actually prefer his post timeskip design! i like his stupid little goatee and his new suits/outfits are very nice! and his character development has obviously. gotten some spotlight) but damn if they couldnt give that to some of the other crew members too! though i digress. and ur right- the arcs and story HAVE improved and been super epic!

hmm..i think my favorite arcs would have to be [as of where i am currently] water 7/enies lobby, impel down, and dressrosa. whole cake will probably be up there when i finish it just bc of it being the My Guy Arc.

help im running out of one piece questions…uh…uh…any other strawhat headcanons? about anything!

p.s. i saw this and it made me laugh so hard

The energy absorption does have its backdraws for Wolf! The more energy she takes, the more energized she feels, but since her body works like a battery/vault, if she is too full of energy she tends to go into like, a dormant state, where she wont wake up until her body has burnt through enough energy to continue as normal (its kind of like a self-preservation mechanism, too much energy could potentially kill her, so her body shuts down to burn through the stored energy before she can get to that point lol) She cannot fight this "coma" state and is absolutely helpless and vulnerable as long as her body thinks it has too much energy.

Wolf first met Macaque bc the monkey had the gall to pass out in her garden, and he looks so pathetic and small she goes "eh, its a slow day, might as well" since she was kind of bored. Macaque wakes up from getting his ass beat to suddenly finding himself in temporary house arrest by a doctor known for eating her patients, and instantly goes "Self-preservation doesn't exist, i am going to annoy and threaten this very dangerous demon as long as I can". Macaque, though, was in such a bad state, that its like if you were being annoyed and threatened by like a fucking ant, Wolf initially found him too pathetic to kill, but as Macaque healed, she found him just too funny to kill. They have somewhat of the Pigsy-Tang friendship dynamic, except Wolf is just vibin with this funny and pathetic little monkey who's too poor to afford anything while Macaque thinks he is just one (1) second away from getting killed and eaten but refuses to stop because free healing in exchange of small favors is too good of a deal to pass up.

Wolf is strictly forbidden from meeting DBK or PIF in the present by RedSon, mostly bc Red very firmly thinks his mother would either hate or love Wolf, and he is not ready to see the disaster it could bring. Wolf only allows this bc she will meet either parent at one point or another, she is just letting Red dream a bit and let him think he has some control over this whole situation. Wolf does have a vaguely godmother/cool aunt vibe towards Red, neither really directly acknowledges it though besides Wolf using it as teasing material. But Red does spend a lot of time at Wolf's clinic though, and Wolf does allow Red to ramble abt his petty drama, so they do have this vague familiar thing going on that neither will acknowledge until the other does (Wolf bc she thinks is amusing to see Red fret, and Red bc he internally already accepted Wolf as some sort of figure in his life he just forgot to say it to Wolf lmao)

ok see i like those drawbacks because they make sense in my head—when i used to be into BNHA, i of course made an OC whose quirk was empathy/emotional energy absorption/manipulation and if they absorbed too much and didn't expend it, rather than a coma, it sent him into a severe uncontrollable episode of mania. i think all that's real fun :3c

i really like her relationships with maq and red, they're fun goofy dynamics that are easy to digest and not loaded with a bunch of drama, but also that she seems to stand on equal ground with them. it also reflects on her really well as a quick-witted character with a kind of elegance to her.

which of red's parents does she end up meeting first? does red end up being right about iron fan's reaction? eye think they'd get along famously tbh and i'd love to see them interact. wolf has that no-bullshit behavior i think iron fan would like, though she doesn't have iron fan's slight flare for the dramatic lol

[phoebehalliwell]

If Prue had lived, what do you think her kids would have been like, and how do you think they would have affected the various power level structures of the next gen?

okay so i think there are a couple options based on who’s the father of the child that would yield different results so in a very me fashion imma make this a very long post and break down all of them. this is 2.5k. it’s going under a cut.

andy so i think had andy not died he and prue would have definitely gotten married first i would say somewhere around the season 2 finale maybe the penultimate episode to end on a sweet high note while still setting up season 3 or something i think he and prue would have their first child ehh probably announced in the s3 finale. i think she’d be a girl i think she’d be a telekinetic like her mama and i think her name would definitely be patricia (and i wanna say in her teenage years she’d go by trix) i think her powers would definitely grow to advanced telekinesis by the time she’s of a fighting age. if i were writing her i would give her a gradual power development of like telekinetically lifting herself up in fights (like what we sometimes saw prue do) to levitation to flight if i wanna get really jiggy w it). i would think prue would definitely want multiple kids (ideally three daughters) and i think andy would definitely Also want sorta that white picket fence family. i think that piper and leo would still be pregnant at the end of season four, with prue’s second pregnancy occuring around beginning to mid season five. i also think about halfway through prue’s second pregnancy she and andy would choose to move out into their own home bc well let’s face it the manor’s a lil crowded (paige is also here in the au don’t ask me how). so wyatt matthews halliwell would be born in february prue and andy would probably move out in april their second child would be born hmm let’s say september. a girl named hmm it has to be a p name i’m firm on that but i don’t really wanna go penelope bc then i feel like it’s too locked in to a naming after ancestors thing but like also it would still be a very prue name & prue is already named after her ancestors so what the hell i’ll name her penelope. let’s talk powers. baby wyatt will keep his whitelighter based powers such as an orb shield, orbing, and healing, but he won’t be a telekinetic. he still has the power of projection. the twice blessed isn’t a thing. penelope i think would be the molecular witch, with powers of molecular deceleration & acceleration (but not freezing or combustion) as well as the ability to adjust her own molecular structure and “phase” (a la kitty pryde from xmen). next in the halliwell line would be chris who would still be born in october of 03 with powers of orbing, telekinesis, and telekinetic orbing, followed then by andy and prue’s third daughter born in utopia in s7 lemme go check the family tree for names there aren’t actually that many p names on there so now i guess lemme make one up one that sounds appropriately vintage like okay so i personally hc p bowen (prue’s past life) to be named pearl, p baxter as pauline, and p russel as phyllis out of all of those i think i’d chose pearl okay so i googled 19th century baby names p names i found were parthena permilia philippa pamela patience and priscilla. okay so i’m actually deciding now that the name philippa comes from andy’s side of the family and that’s the name of the third daughter who will follow suit with the charmed one’s schtick and have premonitions, which includes both precognition and retrocognition, as well as clairvoyance and limited telepathy (she’s basically a human lie detector, but if she actually wants to hear someone’s thoughts, she was to have physical contact and be in a quasi-meditative state). piper be pregnant with melinda at the end of s8, melinda’s powers would be empathy along with the whitelighter powers of healing orbing and photokinesis. next would be the twins tam and kat who would still split molecular combustion and immobilization as well as the whitelighter powers basically i wouldn’t change their powers from what they already have henry jr is also here, still a mortal. pj would not be named pj as Prue Isn’t Dead but i think phoebe would still really wanna stick with the p names. since prue’s already burned through the family tree i think she’d pick a more modern name (and i’m sticking with the gender neutral theme all of phoebe’s kids have) so like percy pax pemberley i’m also really tempted by pisces. hmm. pemberly. who i’d give astral projection and then also um well possession. like yeah y’know projecting her astral form into somebody else and being able to like read them while in their bodies all that. parker stays with premonition and uhh i just recently came up with a power progression for parker that i would love to employ but like i think i really wanna keep it a secret for now but i might end up talking about it later peyton would still be a telekinetic and all three cupitches can still beam and sense love. okay!

jack jack gets an obligatory section bc he was one of the few love interests to last more than one episode but uhh that baby would definitely be a whoopsie! or should i say,,, babies that’s right it’s twins. and i don’t think prue and jack would together romantically but i think they’d still be like y’know friends i think jack would be there to support prue & his kids but i do think prue would be the primary caregiver i think jack would maybe get them like on weekends or like every third week of the month. and i’m Really tempted to give them last name first names and have the kids be names warren and sheridan and Yes they’d be both boys. i sorta wanna melinda warren both of em and just like. give em all three powers what the hell. given that it’s so many powers stacked in one witch i don’t think their powers would ever greatly develop i don’t think there’d be any advanced telekinesis or molecular combustion or like astral premonitions but i do think they have all three powers. and they are identical. so they’re both born in 2000, flash foward to 2002 wyatt is born wyatt matthew halliwell with orbing, orb sheild, healing, telekinetic orbing, and telekinesis. cut forward to 2004 piper has her second child who is in this reality a girl, with orbing, molecular combustion/immobilization, & invisibility. her name would be melinda christina halliwell. i think we can fast forward the timeline a bit i think the piper and leo would have their third child at the end of s8 another boy named john after grams’s maiden name, orbing, premonition, levitation. i feel like cosmically we’ve already filled our twin quotient so no tam & kat in this universe so paige and henry only have one kid a daughter i always pick from shakespeare baby names for not!tam&kat bc like. they’ve got shakespeare names. in the past i’ve used isabel and beatrice this time i’m gonna go for jourdain who has the power of projection, as well as the whitelighter power of omnilingualism. henry & paige still end up accidentally adopting a mortal in this au, but here she’s a girl, so instead of making the henry jr joke henry calls her paige jr the name sticks she goes by pj. cupitches once again we’re going pemberley parker and peyton and once again i’m sticking with the same power set from the andy timeline.

bane okay so give me a sign they have sex prue is pregnanté bane is in jail. charges of racketeering, tax evasion, money laundering and embezzlement, but like okay he’s a career criminal, meaning their notoriously hard to catch. and i think he’s have a good lawyer. max sentence for racketeering is 20 years, tax evasion 5, money laundering 20, embezzlement 3. i’m not a law student i don’t know shit about like,, douple jeopardy all that but like. imma say sentenced to ten years in jail let out in 7 on good behavior + they’re all nonviolent crimes so. is that how it works? okay but basically baby #1 prolly a sagittarius born in 2000. i’m saying girl. i think again like with the jack situation this really isn’t prue’s white picket fence family this is strange and rebellious and unprecedented meaning it’s not guaranteed to be a “p” name but nothing’s like. immediately coming to mind. i feel like it has to be a name that captures prue’s rebellious spirit and the sorta intense passion she keeps below the surface so i wanna go for something outta left field. i also feel like prue cares a lot about the meaning / origin of her baby name so i’m gonna pick from a list of witches of myth. hecate’s obvi out as she’s a demon in charmed verse so i’m thinking circe or freyja. i feel like circe’s more associate with turning men into pigs than anything else so i’m gonna settle with freyja who’s technically a goddess and not a witch but like. minutia. i’m giving her the same power set as patricia / trix which is advance telekinesis + eventual flight. yada yada yada baby wyatt chris & melinda are born, powers as in canon (including empathy for melinda which is in fact Not Canon but like canon in my heart). tamora and kat are born, powers as in canon, bane is out of jail, pemberley is born, astral projection + possession, henry jr is there, prue and bane have another kid in ‘08, a girl (i’m sticking with the badass women of myth theme) named atalanta, nicknamed tal rhymes with the cal in calorie. yes i know i’m very white. powers of molecular immobilization & cryokinesis. next born in 09 cupitch parker still with cupid powers and premonition, then prue and bane’s third daughter born in 2010 (i’m telling you bane def has that like white picket fence adoring family dream. he frickin loves kids & like dutifully drives them to ballet practice every day after school type thing. loves the idea of being able to yell “honey! i’m home!” total sap) her name’s probs gonna be like. morrigan. her powers are a riff on the premonition aspect of thee power of three, she can pick up on “psychic reverb” and sense if a great act of magic has happened somewhere as well as sense great good, great evil, and immense power. also with the her psychic power she can mark crossroads and tell if a decision is about to be altering, though she can’t sense which outcome is the “best”. finally baby peyton still a telekinetic cupitch born in 2011.

justin congrats, bud. the only other prue love interest to make it past a single episode. too bad we really don’t know shit about this guy. simp? we can assume? yeah so in this timeline they come together basically when piper & leo are getting married so in this timeline we are still getting wyatt first with all his canonically op self. then we’re getting chris, same as in canon i guess i feel like he should have more powers give him combustive orbing what the fuck why not. okay so like maybe ‘03-’04 prue and justin move out / move in together, married by late ’04 (just before utopia in s7). they have their first daughter in 2005 still s7 once again named patricia and she’s a telekinetic like prue. we’ll push melinda up to ’06 still an empath + other whitelighter powers & tlk orb. 2007 will have both tam & kat with their canon powers, followed by penelope with cryokinesis, closed out with pemberley with astral projection. jump to 09 parker born with premonition in spring and i said philippa was an andy’s family name so patience in the fall. and she can uhh same thing as morrigan she’s psychic. 2011 the final baby is born it’s peyton telekinetic + cupitch powers as always. henry jr is also here placed where he normally is (slightly younger than pj/pemberley)

bonus round!dency addition okay so idk if i’ve said this before but i’ve actually sorted out dency’s relatives in her world one sec i gotta pull up the google doc okay dency born first only child the source’s heir next up is melinda penelope “penn” halliwell the only child of leo & piper aka the twice blessed followed by paige’s sons taran & kai, twins, the ultimate power. but now prue’s in the mix! i’m pairing her with andy bc that was her most significant relationship. as previously stated i think prue and andy’s first child would be born in early season four as patricia, same powers as stated earlier with advanced telekinesis & flight. dency technically would no longer be named dency in this au as once again, prue is not dead. she would be named victoria after her grandfather. same powers that she already holds (pyrokinesis, cryokinesis, flaming, limited telepathy (only the lie detector part) & super strength). her power rivals that of patricia’s despite not being the first born in the generation bc she was infused with the source. she would be born early s5. then keeping with the timeline piper & leo’s firstborn comes mid s5, another girl named melinda. melinda’s powers are orbing, molecular immobilization, and advanced healing. at this point prue is Pregnant Again and calls dibs on the name penelope so that does not become melinda’s middle name. in the dency au coop shows up earlier, which in turn accelerates paige and henry ending up together because i said so. piper is pregnant at the beginning of s6. prue and andy have their second daughter penelope, paige and henry get together, piper and leo have their second daughter christina. s6 ends. penelope gets molecular deceleration & acceleration. christina has orbing, telekinesis, & an orb shield. s7. whoops paige is pregnant. hey it’s twins! tamora & kat. tamora is the physical while kat is the spiritual. tamora can orb, telekinetically orb, and has normal telekinesis. kat has premonitions, clairvoyance, and omnilingualism. s8. prue gets pregnant again at some point. season finale. philippa is born. she can astral project, and will later develop suggestion. piper is pregnant again. it’s still 2006.  now it’s 2007. piper’s baby is born. it’s a boy??? meet baby john. an empath. omnilingual. can orb. henry jr also shows up. at this point it’s been like 5 years since phoebe’s traumatic incident with cole / the source and she decides she wants to have kids again. she and coop have their first daughter in 2008, a girl they name leona. cupid powers of beaming & sensing love, and levitation that will eventually develop into flight. limited precognition. 2010. they have another child, this time a boy, warren. beaming, sensing love, telekinesis, telekinetic beaming. 2011 they final baby of the generation is born, phoebe and coop’s daughter let’s call her charlotte. she doesn’t have molecular immobilization, that magic mix with a cupid’s control over time. she has temporal stasis (& beaming & sensing love)

i'm SO sorry i took so long but i had a lovely picnic w/ friends on saturday and between studying for finals n' weeping with the final episode of aot i really didn't know what to say about Percolate so as you can see i'm emotionally drained and fragile right now. i apologize in advance. and to all of your followers for this long ass ask.

first of all, it's been 8 months since I started reading Percolate. i think chapter 7 was recently dropped when i caught up with the story and ever since it's been such a rollercoaster ride waiting for new updates and witnessing how rookies and levi's relationship devolpe from something 'casual' to genuine love!

fun fact: I had to reread chapter 13 just to feel "in context" again lol.

so… chapter 14… *sigh* honestly i'm really struggling how to put into words how i felt while reading. you're writing does that to me every. single. time. ugh, i looooved that most of the chapter levi was all "fuck it, listen up I LOVE YOU" and rookie was like "¿¿¿???" HAJSBAKS, THAT GURL IS ICONIC. but my fav part obviously was after the little crisis, when rookie caught up with him and he hugged her once he noticed it was reciprocated I fucking melted because there's nothing better than boyfriend levi. :((( AND THEN THE AUDACITY OF GOING STRAIGHT INTO PDA WITH HER IN A ROOM FULL OF THEIR FRIENDS WAS SO AAAHKABSKAN91@($!# 💕💝💖💘💗💞

the last part… omg, i'm not even going to call it "smut" because that would be so fucking disrespectful of me when clearly that was a beautiful, passionate, intimate and slow love-making moment. i never cried so hard in my life.

“It was the first of so many new things—or rather the familiar situations that you were now facing in a new light, with a new dynamic between you. It was a rhythm you would slowly have to find your footing and fall into, but you were happy to learn the steps.”

this part moved something inside me, i liked the idea of them not charging anything just because they're dating but still giving it a try to start doing things the right way. the fact that you included sonnet 145 specifically… god you're a genius, Liv. You never get tired of leaving me dumbfounded, don'tcha? the meaning behind it... fuck, it's so beautiful.

it's silly feeling somewhat sad that Percolate has reached its end, because i know you're still going to be around writing and all, but i guess it's because something in this story will remain special to me until the end of times. i'm so proud of you, i don't think you'll ever know the amount of confort this gave me and as always, i thank you for sharing with us. i feel i have much more to say and if i could i would send you voice notes so that way you can hear my pathetic crying but this will have to do for now! Ilysm, Liv! you deserve all the forehead kisses in the world~ 😙

i'm a week away from a delicious two week vacations so i'm going to wait so i can catch up with some of your new pieces (to have and to hold has been seducing me for a while).

HOPE YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEK, ANGEL! again, i'm so proud of you you beautiful thing! congrats on concluding Percolate, you've worked so hard! you're such an inspiration!🥳

kary this is the last ask in my percolate spoiler queue because you were the first person i remember coming off anon to gush about perc so it only felt right that you be the last one too :')

AHjdkhfsdkjhsldkj i don't know if anyone else has noticed but I've known from the VERY BEGINNING OF THE FIC that after all was said and done and all the cards were laid on the table that I wanted that little guy to get an actual HUG. HE DESERVES IT. It was important to me that a hug be the way that they sort of come together in the end rather than something more spicy bc it just felt right.

stop this genuinely made me so emotional, Kary. I am so so so so so endlessly grateful for you. Writing perc wasn't always easy but i swear to god i would have written 100 more chapters if it meant meeting the incredibly kind people this fic brought me all over again. i love you SOOOOOO very much!!

I HOPE YOUR PICNIC WAS DELICIOUS AND YOU ACED ALL YOUR FINALS AND YOUR VACATION HAS BEEN RELAXING AND FULFILLING AND ALL OF THE OTHER GOOD THINGS IN THE WORLD FOR YOU. YOU ABSOLUTELY DESERVE IT.

I actually changed how I thought about bts's bond after yoongi's surgery in 2020. I just can't understand how your friend goes into surgery and you don't visit them? Or when yoongi said that jimin was the only one who responded in the gc like im sorry what?? If my friends did this I would be devastated... I was surprised too bc I thought Yoonmin arent as close as they were but i guess not.. Especially since jimin was the one to call yoongi on stage and everything. Made me realize how we dont know anything about the boys tbh.

I find it a bit hard to explain how I feel... Looking back, I think I never cared too much about some things because I took them for granted, in a way. Like, birthday tweets were always tweeted. Jimin would always tweet a selfie few times a month. I haven't really watched run since mid 2019, but it was still good to know that every week there was a new run episode and I could watch it if I wanted to. Bangtan bombs were regularly posted. BTS actually talked to us and weren't afraid of going on vlive. BTS would release a new album every year. It was familiar, it was constant, it was a dynamic I already knew.

Right now, I feel so out of the loop that I'm not even excited about the concerts next week. I just don't know anymore, I feel like there's so much distance between the BTS I had come to know and love and this BTS today. Several things that happened (and also the things that didn't happen) during the break only made that distance bigger. I think it will take me seeing them for some weeks to kind of understand where everyone is at and if anything has changed to actually feel excited or somewhat happy to see them again.

I never fully bought into the whole "we're so close we love each other so much we go to bathroom holding hands and say goodnight to each other every night before bed" as some armys still seem to think it's their relationship like. But I did always thought that they were "there" for each other for important stuff. I consider important to go see your friend after a surgery. It doesn't mean that they hate each other, just maybe that they aren't as attentive to each other as some might believe they are. I have seen this dissonance in jikook too and it's the things that have made me think twice if they're actually together. Maybe BTS don't think a surgery is that big of a deal, so yeah. Maybe that's just some of us, and seriously it's okay if they don't think it's a big deal.

It's difficult for me to explain because I don't feel very deeply about them not visiting each other, but it's at the same time something that I don't just let it slip?? Even if it doesn't exactly make me feel sad or anything, it's definitely a tidbit of information that says something about the way they are as "friends" I guess? It doesn't DEFINE them but it's there. It exists. It happened.

Yoongi said they did answer, tho. They said they were okay with him getting the surgery even if they had schedules. And that's when Jimin called him, etc. Yeah same I don't see yoonmin as super close, but I guess it's a matter of attentiveness? Not that you can visit someone or care about them only if you spend 24/7 together. There are many times when they're just coworkers for each other tbh.

Def Mood on the whole part about bangel's wedding being played for drama and angst but also, for me one of the main reasons is because even with all of their scenes together, their dynamic still felt underwhelming when you take out all the dramatic angst scenes? Like sure ok I will sit through seasons 1 2 and then 3 while I watch them but I always end up liking their conversation more in season 7 which is ironic, given that it feels kind of thrown in, but it's also just one where it felt like both were more or less on an equal footing to me. Buffy was older and a lot more experienced while being a slayer, she didn't take Angel's crap when he was jealous of Spike, but she was also honest about her feelings in general towards him. I guess part of the reason why I liked it is because it didn't feature Angel having more say in what happens to them, but Buffy does for once, since he was the one that broke them up in season 3 and then in "I Will Remember You", and while I don't think it was necessarily bad, since it did end up being a good choice for him to go his own way, it still felt a bit unbalanced to me bc again, Buffy had no real say in it. And I can never really be into the season 5 scene either (when Joyce dies) mainly because it just feels like Buffy is in mourning, and she's trying to cling onto the one thing she previously knew and felt something intensely for.

I know you just made that post to highlight one reason and that's def valid, so I hope this doesn't come off as me correcting you bc I also agree.

don’t worry, I really appreciate that I get a lot of long opinionated asks. it’s a lot of fun to talk about btvs. it is my favourite show after all. and I’m always honoured when people wanna send their opinions to me 💖

as for what you said about bangel, I don’t really have a big problem with the wedding dream other than my own personal distaste towards most weddings, but I get finding them a bit boring together. in my first watch through I barely thought about them at all. and especially in season 3, their relationship can be downright confusing. I used to always forget when they were dating and when they weren’t, cause they were always flip flopping between two extremes.

honestly I’m really surprised you like the chosen scene. it always bothered me how the kiss came out of nowhere, and joss & co were obviously trying to throw both bangel and spuffy shippers a bone without fully committing to one or the other. but honestly I do love how mature buffy is in that scene. and seeing her be so confident in her identity in a way she’s never been before. I actually liked the forever scene a lot. I liked that buffy could take comfort in something familiar, even if just for a while. also it was the only post s3 angel cameo that I didn’t found completely out of character when I first watched btvs.

honestly I always felt like their relationship was very unequal. it’s certainly not equivalent to what a real life relationship between a teenager and a 20 something would look like, but I always felt like angel had more autonomy and choices in the relationship, and there’s lots of evidence that he still viewed her as a kid (remember when he straight up called her a brat? big ole yikes there). it’s not a coincidence that buffy broke it off with angel twice in s3 and spent a lot of time trying to avoid him, but it’s angel who actually gets the last say. and he did it in such a shitty way too. I think he was in the right to break up with her, since their relationship was clearly doomed, and he actually became his own person once he left sunnydale, but he used such self righteous reasoning, and he made buffy’s struggles all about him (like in s2 when Buffy said she wanted a normal life and angel was like “before me” 🤡🤡). it was good for angel, but it was not good for buffy. he told her he wanted her to have a normal relationship, and you know what she did? she immediately rushed into a relationship with a normal guy and got hurt. buffy was way more vulnerable in their relationship than angel was, and I just can’t find myself to care about angel as much as I care about buffy in their dynamic.

honestly I have so much to say about their power dynamic. it’s not even the age gap, it’s just that angel has so much baggage that he dumps on this teenage girl without caring about the emotional consequences for her. also all the ‘old man angel’ jokes on ats just make me sideeye their relationship even more. and this is probably an unpopular opinion, but I feel like angel traumatized buffy way more than spike did. before s6 spike was pretty much just a nuisance that was rarely taken seriously, and even in s6 buffy was already going through some tough shit. he really only made up a small part of her struggles. compared with the stuff with angelus that made buffy feel like loving her was dangerous and synonymous with death. over the years she felt so much shame for her decisions (that were not her fault at all), and her experience with angel overshadowed her relationships in a way that is not romantic at all (I hate how some people romanticize buffy struggling to tell her love interests she loves them, as if it’s because she’s still in love with angel and not because she’s scared that being vulnerable in that way again will only lead to suffering for both her and everyone around her). and obviously a lot of it isn’t his fault, but it unfolds in a way that makes me really fall on buffy’s side.

so yeah. I have Many Thoughts ™ about this, which is weird cause I honestly don’t dislike bangel half of the time. I think a lot of their scenes are cute, and I sometimes get wrapped up in the dramatic romance too. but they had some major problems, and I just really dislike the idea of them ending up together. they’re just such different people at the end of their respective shows, and maybe if they had a fresh start they could make it work, but buffy had so many of her insecurities tied up in her relationship to angel that I just don’t think they could ever get past that. even if buffy herself gets over it, there’s always gonna be that implication that their relationship only leads to pain, and I don’t want that for buffy. that’s why a lot of my preferred buffy ships involve more internal conflict. it leaves room for them to change and grow together, not forcing them to be apart, and having to deal with the wreckage by themselves

Anon from earlier, about the asexual thing. To clarify what I meant about the stereotypes (I was gonna include all of this in the original but didnt want it to be too much or feel like I was ranting/lecturing. Sorry it ended up too vague in the end.)

The stereotype most present is that asexuals don't have sex or dont seek fulfillment through sexual relationships. Asexuality is about attraction, not libido or activity, and it's a spectrum, not a you are or you aren't. I totally recognize part of that was presumably specifically in response to the original anon saying they dont necessarily think a lot about the sexual part, but, and this is a good example of how not being familiar with the community can trip people up, sex positive/favorable aces usually do at least engage in, if not actively seek out, sex. So the whole thing kinda played into the "asexual always means absolutely no interest in sex" stereotype.

Also, sort of a side note, re your answer to my first question, there's really nothing I've seen on your blog indicating that you are or aren't asexual, though of course I could have missed something. You are probably right that original anon didn't care whether their question was answered by someone who wasn't ace, or they would have gone to a blog by a kinky ace person, but your blog doesn't make it super clear that you are not that.

And for the record, I am 100000% not saying that like, your answer was terrible or even like, offensive. Theres just so much shit in the kink community that gets piled on aces and aces get excluded a lot from kink stuff bc of that specific stereotype. Ill own that Im a bit sensitive to it bc the kink community in my area does really cool events that I have been told not to attend because of it.

Thank you for elaborating, I appreciate you helping to educate me.

I didn't understand that asexuality can be just about attraction rather than being about the degree of 'drive'. I knew it was a spectrum, but I thought it was more of a spectrum between being sex-repulsed on one end, to having a lower-than-average amount of drive and/or attraction (I thought some people identified as ace for low drive and others for low attraction) on the other.

Now learning otherwise, I realize I was incorrect in saying that it should be clear from my blog that I'm not asexual. I am demisexual, so I guess according to some at least, that would make me asexual?

I guess within the context of that question, it still seems to me like they probably were trying to imply that they have a lower sex drive, though? Because this person they're playing with is their boyfriend...so if their asexuality was on the end of the spectrum closer to demisexual, I don't know that they would be asking how to make BDSM and asexuality mix, as a demisexual person would theoretically have no significant differences in their sex life or D/s dynamic while in a committed relationship than someone who wasn't demisexual. Right?

I didn't mean to suggest that asexuality always means the person has no interest in or isn't open to sex. I knew that wasn't the case, and I understood that the anon was saying they are open to sex at least to some degree. Despite realizing that, I had no way of knowing the degree to which they're open to sex, and I had the general recognition that they might be struggling to mix BDSM with their asexuality, so I thought it made sense to focus my response on non-sexual things that might work for them. Though maybe me focusing exclusively on non-sexual stuff could read to people as if I was assuming this person has no interest in sex at all?

I think what may have been read as feeding into that stereotype the most could have been my comment about if my sexuality's were 'removed from me'. I can see how someone could read that and think I was saying asexuals are people who have no sexuality at all? That wording was not the best choice, and I can see how I could have been hurtful. I am sorry about that. I should have been a bit more careful with my wording. I wasn't saying that to try to use that as an analogy for asexuals. I was saying it to try to make the point that for me (and I think many others, asexual or not) many aspects of submission can be unrelated to sexuality.

Also, it's totally understandable that it's a sensitive issue for many in general. With you being excluded from events over this...it's easy to understand why it would be a real sore spot. I'm sorry that happened to you...that's just not right.

Personally I don't like Roy and Kory being Jason's friends because they're not written like themselves, but more as shallow husk of their characters so they can somehow fit with Jason and being an extension of him, while negating the previous relationships they had with Dick and the titans. I can't overlook that just so Jason can have some friends, if Lobdell was at least half a decent writer, he could bring characters to play with Jay with interesting dynamics (think Donna and Kyle) or even Roy and Kory themselves, but still at least,in character. But he didn't even tried, so the rhato group is soured to me.

OK I HAVE A BUNCH OF ASKS WITH THIS TOPIC SO IM JUST GONNA POST THEM ALL HERE 

2. anonymous said: I've actually always found it to be very realistic for Dicks friends to also be friends with his Brother .

Jay was shy and didn't really have many friends of his Own but he spent time with Dick and his friends and over time they became Jays friends too.

I mean that's just how these these things Work.

3. anonymous said: People were like “why don’t they just make new characters to be Jason’s friends???????” And you know why not? Because 1) these are characters people are familiar with, and recognition sells. 2) since people are familiar with them they don’t have to do a bunch of groundwork on establishing new characters looks, personalities, skillsets, relationships, backstories, etc. 3) writers??? Are allowed???? To do things with characters??? Sometimes?????? Why relegate beloved characters to comic book limbo in favor of new characters? RHATO wasn’t good and they were OOC (as was pretty much everyone else in the New 52), but it kept Roy and Kory from disappearing into non-existence! Roy and Kory are characters who have been around for decades. Why would you expect any writer to give up the opportunity to use them in a story in favor of having to come up with new characters from scratch to be friends with Jason, who doesn’t have many connections and needs them, who wouldn’t have any of their own connections either, and who chances are would most likely be slam dunked directly into comic book limbo after the series ended? RHATO had a good premise, terrible awful execution on all levels

4. anonymous said: I think Jason should steal more friends. Give Jason Stephanie next

5. anonymous said: I agree with that one anon, I swear rhato wasn't the best thing in the world but it was nice seeing jason have friends like kory and roy 🥺 and I also hate when people say like their friendship isn't valid because they were friends with dick first like ????

i very much agree that roy and kory weren’t being written as themselves in rhato and totally see why that would ruin the whole rhato group for u like i get it but also idk i still like them in theory, if not in practice and i dont see why they cant be both dick’s friends and jason’s friends like absolutely lobdell’s writing is to blame but the premise itself isnt bad. i also do agree that it makes sense and is realistic for dick and jason to have the same friends like some of my friends were my brother’s when we were growing up it just happens ejhbahjsdb and yeah i agree, it’s much better to use established characters than new characters when it comes to creating new relationships like idk why ppl are like “why dont they just create new friends for him” bc if that DID happen, chances are ppl wouldnt care abt them which. i mean is how most ppl feel when new characters are created for one story only. n recognition absolutely sells. like idk i think everyone who does like roy and kory being jason’s friends DOES recognize the fact that rhato isnt good, that their characterization wasnt good but it was still nice to see them and to see jason have friends. people are def not possessions and its fine for them to overlap. and finally, jason and steph would be the funniest duo ever i think

#ALL IN ALL THOUGH #theres really not much we can do about it anymore #that rhato group hasnt been around for a while #he hadartemis and bizarro #and now hes just. vibing around #decisions get made n we jus . deal w them #anon #m.inbox #long post

if akutami’s involve in the vol 0 movie promotion,, it would probably be deadpool-esque promo for vol 0 movie :

"merry christmas ❤️" ; "a story about love"

crossing my fingers for some ovas for the lightnovel(s)

we'd be lucky if we get 5 seasons, but judging by how sensei wants to end it quickly,, well, 4 is pushing it. i think.

i rly want to see what actually happened in the goodwill event where yuuta won,, and how he left with miguel? it'd be the perfect way to tease shibuya arc (assuming that they'll release the movie before S2)

from the PV itself, i'm guessing it's gonna take 6 months (unlikely) or a year or 2 before the movie comes out,, so same rules apply with season 2, unfortunately. or, they'd release the movie during S2's break ,, or the most plausible one: after S2 (if they plan to include the time-skip and geto’s appearance in season 3 instead)

i wonder,, if they would give a glimpse of toji since playful cloud is in geto’s possesion at that time

i rly wish rika got to grow up and become the feral curbstomping gremlin shaman we all know she would have become,, the more i think of her backstory details the more i feel there’s so much unsaid abt the nature of her and yuuta's relationship

AND ???? (HOPEFULLY) JUJUSANPOS WITH SHOKO?? akutami,, u have 1 job left 😩

*clench fist* u-utashoko content pls

tbrh i feel that it's hard to say sth abt shoko from a canon pov bc we don't see her interactions with them as much, but that gives us room to play!! ,, i think she’s just as nasty in personality as they are (for some reason,, i feel like it’s fight in first sight in their first year, gojou is definitely more of a brat before meeting them) , lol, but in a more dry, cutting way - and it's telling that geto approached her after he defected even though he said he didn't think he could convince her.

i think she's quite clearheaded but very firm in her stance, and i think she would have found gojou and geto dynamic very interesting and entertaining to watch. I imagine in many cases if either of them wanted to talk about the other, they would have gone to her, bc of her familiarity, and bc she's so plainspoken. i think she knows them on a level very few other people do. in a way, she is their witness and observer. i also think it's notable her promoted ability is reverse CT - bc that's just a way of using curse power but it's not an inherited technique in and of itself. this suggests to me that her CT could actually be sth else! since the satosugu dynamics does play into the theme of power in the jjk world, it makes me curious what shoko's ability is and how it would factor into their interactions. In the team, i would wonder if shouko holds herself apart from gojou and geto

@/&/$:&3@ the way i’ll get my hands in any fan works abt shoko 😭 ,, one of my favorite doujin shows shoko’s view as an “outsider” after geto’s death, it’s privated now 💔 but i’m pretty sure it was made by either : AND__re or sin_chin_taisha

iirc the doujin took place in the summer after geto’s death and gojo barged into shoko’s office to visit his grave which confused shoko like “u made a grave for him?? when??” but gojou was “anyways, do u want to come?”— and they went over to geto’s grave and clean it,, all the while shoko had flashback of their student days and her last line was that : “in the end, both of us are a sinner” (referring to how they couldnt stop geto when he spiraled) while the panel shows gojou carefully arranging the flowers + that wistful expression

the last two panels were of stsg visiting a beach together (i assume before HI arc) and it goes like :

gojou : “what if we conquer the world?”

geto : “eh? that’s too much of a hassle”

gojou : “but we can do it anyways, after all, we’re the strongest”

geto : “*laugh* well, you’re not wrong”

gojou kept on talking but when he turn to look at the place geto sat beside him, geto has vanished and all he can see is the vast ocean 😭😭😭😭

also this (though it’s in cn, u can still google translate it) : https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/85662072 ,, this one is abt shoko’s pov starting from their 1st year and what i actually want from akutami 🥴

+ https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/77685037 (the grim/ bittersweet atmosphere + utahime 😩) - 🐱

The movie is going to kill me 😁

I am SO curious about rika like her character profile in the book was fishy as hell 😭

YES!!! if shoko was utilized RIGHT then she could be such an GOOD character. shoko is the only person in the world who knew gojo and geto on that personal level as surface level friends while still being an outsider to their relationship. she has a perspective nobody else in the manga has and yet........and YET!!!! that tentative trust on geto’s end when he approached shoko and how shoko was like “lmao you loser” god.....

that’s such a cool idea omg if shoko’s CT is actually something else and akutami shows us....I’m going to go FERAL. i just want to know more of her outside of stsg you know??? like not just shoko the thirdwheel but more about her family, her friends (whether or not she has civilian friends), etc.

the fanbook didn’t give us SHIT give it to me akutami!!!!!

#wishful thinking...... #the comics....LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE YOU'VE KILLED ME #SHOKO COMICS ARE ALWAYS SO SAD I HATE IT JUST GIVE ME SOME WHERE SHE'S WITH UTAHIME OR SMT #🐱 anon #long post
