I think it's wonderful that the dynamics between the four main lads can be up to interpretation. metadad? just a mentor? dededad? brotherly bond? siblings? friends? a nuclear family? idk you decide.
which is why it sucks that it causes such a quarrel amongst the fandom :[
the main thing to take away is that in the end they care deeply about eachother (whether they want to admit it or not) and they are a great team.

Hey! So I've been following you since you posted a lot about good omens in 2019ish? I remember you talking about wing fics vividly, but I just want to ask:
How are you doing after season 2?
Good! I enjoyed season 2, and I look forward to seeing how things resolve in season 3.
I think there are a lot of folks upset about various things, for various reasons, a lot of which boil down to "the season didn't go how I wanted it to/thought it should go" or "the season didn't end wrapped up neatly like S1 did." Neither of which, imo, are fair judgments of a season that a) isn't that person's story and b) was meant to be a bridge not an ending. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, of course, and to their feelings, but I do wonder how many have taken honest assessment of those feelings and opinions.
In my opinion, it's unfair to claim a story is bad JUST because it didn't do what you wanted it to do. It's not a bad story just because characters didn't act how you predicted or wanted, either. Some of the responses I've seen hinge almost entirely on "but canon didn't do what fanon/I decided is best" usually with the caveat of "before I even saw the season" and that's... ignoble at best. It's fair to criticize poor storytelling, but I feel like you have to have the whole story, or most of it, to do that, and we don't have that. We're actually smack in the middle of the story, by my judgment.
This season was never meant to be The Whole Story, we have known for a long time that there is a season 3 planned (whether or not it's ever able to come to fruition is a separate issue, it has been planned since a long time ago). As such, I don't think it's fair at all to the story to be angry that the season didn't stop at a nice, neat, happily-ever-after, because this isn't the end of the story.
To quote one of my favorite authors, Peter S. Beagle: "Things must happen when it is time for them to happen. Quests may not simply be abandoned; prophecies may not be left to rot like unpicked fruit; unicorns may go unrescued for a very long time, but not forever. The happy ending cannot come in the middle of the story."
They cannot have a happy ending until they've fixed the problems, and even before the end scene there, problems abounded. The unicorns are still unrescued. It's still the middle of the story.

You know what? I rambled in the tags of this reblog and I’m a-gonna blather on about something that struck me when typing it.
So we know. WE KNOW. Seto Kaiba is a huge bundle of trauma and issues, and we all love the idea of sweet lil’ Yugi reaching out and helping him through it (with a big side of please get therapy Kaiba). Well. What about the other way around?
I mean, let’s look at Yugi. Maybe he had a much, much better family situation, let’s be fuckin’ real. But, as someone who was bullied (tho’ thankfully not the the degree this kid was), I know how much that will fuck you up in the head. This kid was getting his ass beat by his peers on (at least) a weekly basis (and sometimes by grown-ass adults!), you better believe he has a tangled mess of issues and bottled anger compressed enough to take out a small city.
Dude has absolutely had to keep anything he thought would be subject of mockery to himself (it’s never enough, tho’) and make himself metaphorically smaller to avoid more bullying (it never works). How much do you think his actual friends, the people he has literally trusted with his life at this point, know about him as a person, beside “smol, sweet, ride or die”? For heaven’s sake, Anzu, the one who’s known him the longest, didn’t know if his grandpa was alive or dead in chapter-fucking-ONE of the manga! His fucking grandpa, who runs the game store in the building where he fucking lives.
So. Consider. Seto actually starts to get his shit together somewhat! Maybe he actually gets persuaded to go to fucking therapy by Mokuba’s insistence after *gestures to everything in canon*. And maybe he actually... starts reaching out back to Yugi’s offers of friendship. But Seto’s a sharp man. He has had the training from hell to learn how to pick out people’s weaknesses, and he starts zeroing in on how Yugi is low-key constantly on the defensive; always offering to help or take care of or listen to others but never saying jack shit about himself or his feelings.
And, welp, he starts realizing it’s his turn to drag Yugi out of his own 500 emotional barriers kicking and screaming instead and Seto kind of hates it! But he’s gonna. Because he justifies it as revenge for 5,000,000 “power of friendship/heart of the cards” bullshit speeches. YOU ARE GETTING BEFRIENDED SO FUCKING HARD IN REVENGE, YUGI; EXPECT HIM.

IS ZOLU PROBLEMATIC??????????
I've been seeing so much stuff about Luffy and Zoro and I think it's cute but it concerns me because Zoro was like 19 or something and Luffy 17 (at least in the part I'm in) (I know I'm really far behind)
please let me know (:

Hey, for people's who's fandom for their f/o say that if you're not masc or fem enough or that if you're someone whose expressing gender in your own way, they wouldn't be attracted to you.
I just want you to know that they're being stupid and a bitch. Your f/o and your friends think your gender presentation is really cool and amazing and you don't have to "pass" or follow only one presentation in order to be appreciated.

i am incredibly neutral on every single ship ever but let me tell you TikTok and twitter aeon stans are THEE most annoying motherfuckers on the planet. saw them fight down a cleon shipper before my very eyes.
you ship cleon? pft, Leon sees Claire as a little kid + its not canon like aeon is.
you ship leshley? um, gross, that's incest because SIBLING CODED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (even though its not confirmed and just how I see the ship, btw my opinion matters more than anything else.) + not canon like aeon is.
you ship heleon? they barely know eachother, they're just partners! and ewww fictional age gap pedophilia!!!! (even though Helena is a grown woman and erm, not real.) + not canon like aeon is.
its always really funny how they come for ships with Leon and a female character.

🧡💚💕 for the ask meme!
Gonna do it for Xillia
🧡: What is a popular (serious) theory you disagree with?
That Gaius was planning to destroy Elympios. He wanted to destroy their spyrixes, not the whole country. Idk who decided to spread this misinterpretation as fact but seeing it repeated on wikis or tvtropes drives me up the wall.
💚: What does everyone else get wrong about your favorite character?
See above (tho idk if that counts as 'everyone' lol). But speaking of Gaius, I can't stand ship stuff where he's portrayed as (genuinely, not like as part of play) super dominant/pushy/rapey. Like yeah he's pretty intimidating and looks like he'd be the type if you only have a very surface view of him, but considering his history I can't see him not being really careful about the power dynamic. Plus come on, he's a big softie deep down (one good thing of X2's portrayal of him is showing more of that side of him). Tho again idk if that counts as 'everyone', just that I've seen it often enough to dislike it...
💕: What is an unpopular ship that you like?
Gaiwin, tho it's not popular due to small number of ppl actually interested it rather than people disliking it.
For the latter, Jumilla. Like I can get preferring other ships and stuff, but the amount of vitriol it sometimes gets when it's such a well-balanced, mutually respectful and caring couple is sad to see. It's also not much of a threat to other ships considering the ending (on top of being rather low-key on the actual canon romance stuff aside from a few scenes here and there), so I don't get the need to put it down to prop other ships up :/

Bonus doodles under the cut:
^^ Quick midnight doodles cuz my mind is a steel trap when it comes to unhinged sapphics and also was just Thinking about Story Stuff I wanna do at some point. (yes, I know a hockey goalie is a goaltender now but I didn't wanna go back in and change that)
^^ Had just finished reading OMO and felt no other course of action than to practice the Joneses so I could draw them in pinoy outfits uwu
OH! And if you're wondering: Casey's wearing a filipiniana gown and the lesbian flag-colored sash is called a sablay. Junior's wearing a barong tagalog.
