ok i am making one last post about fandom misogyny before i put it on a shelf so i stop getting so mad: noticing that m/f and f/f ships kinda receive the same disdain / apathy makes me feel like once a woman is involved people either get mad or dont care Lmfao

#elisey speaks #MY FINAL MESSAGE GOODBYE #*ascends to heaven* #but seriously though it is interesting to me how ppl have invented ways to stop caring about women but in a progressive way #like u cant say a woman is in the way of ur yaoi ship anymore so u have to be like #oh shes gay lol theyre wlw mlm solidarity so you can just push her aside for ur m/m content #And its like. Well people can see right through that #Im over this now. ill get too angry if i think about it for too long and id rather soend that time appreciating and loving fictional women

"dr character analysis anon" again, hi. Saw the thing about Komamiki. I have...mixed feelings about that ship.

While Komahina does objectively have the most going for it, I'm personally a multi-shipper for Nagito. I think the fandom really sleeps on a lot of the ship potential he has with some of the other cast. Admittedly most of the potential is with male characters. But outside of some fun platonic BroTPs (like Sonia and Nagito), I'd say there are 2.5 good f/m ships for Nagito. Komanami, Komazumi, and depending on the writer, Komamiki. Because a writer I know who's played around with it over the years has done some pretty interesting stuff.

Now I say "2.5" because like...I have noticed a REALLY weird pattern with Komamiki. In that it seems to be the main Nagito ship pushed by fans who are incredibly harsh on the character and vocally against Komahina. Who are typically also Hinanami shippers. I've even pointed out examples to that writer, and they found it pretty baffling too.

Like one of the most insane takes I've ever seen (and the writer wholeheartedly agreed with me despite being only mildly into Komahina) was someone pointing to Komamiki as "a healthier alternative to Komahina". Because like...one of the most interesting things to explore about the ship is that it has a high probability of turning quite ugly and toxic. And to actually get a healthy Komamiki outcome requires quite a bit more work than most other Nagito ships. Like one of those good Komamiki stories I read had both of them go through therapy before meeting again as adults after Hope's Peak closed down (a kind of non-Despair AU).

Yet those detractors of Nagito seem to really think that they could just hit it off pretty quickly. And that Nagito's worship of Ultimates would be a boon to Mikan's self-confidence. As well as Mikan being a nurse making her a perfect partner for Nagito. Which is just...no. A happy relationship between Nagito and an Ultimate should have him gradually come to see them as a partner and an equal. And Mikan's FTEs show exactly why giving her a partner medically dependent on her is a TERRIBLE idea. She would need to come to terms with just how unhealthy her desire for control over her patients is before having a partner like that.

So yeah, tldr, I think Komamiki can be an interesting ship to explore, but I can't help but view some of the people pushing it with a bit of mistrust. Like I almost wonder if a handful of them are doing so in bad faith. And perhaps they actually do want Nagito to end up in an unhealthy co-dependent relationship where his partner has power over him.

ok see i agree with a lot of the points here ive always been interested in the komaeda mikan dynamic, just platonically. because i cannot see him liking women romantically (or her liking men romantically) at ALL like i just cannot see it. their dynamic is very intriguing from what little hints of it we get from chapter 3 its just that in my eyes they wouldnt be toxic lovers theyd be gods worstest girlfrenemies. i support the dynamic i do not support it romantically lol. and also id never trust a komamiki shipper like ever at all because of what you outlined . its like how youre always suspicious to trust junkan shippers because their dynamic can be interesting to explore but it has to be handled carefully to be brought justice yaknow.

#i have so many thoughts on koma/miki worsties dynamic i need to write about it so baddd. i just think they are homos sorry. theyre the #antithesis to mlm wlw solidarity they fucking hate each other sooo bad….. #but also its soo much more complicared then that etc etc etc u get it #ko’s danganronpa ramblings #asks #long post

There’s something so lesbian about reading mlm fiction

#listen ive been trying to unpack my fixation on gay ships for as long as ive been questioning #im talking since like high school #its hard to untangle this one but here's what ive got: #something something needing to place myself into a queer gender #(gay man = queer gender idk how to explain that one but you guys get me ik you do) #in order to be able to conceptualize being with a man/ boy #something something comphet #even though im literally so knowledgeable about this stuff #i never let myself think about what being with a girl would be like #also #gay men have the tendency to. look like lesbians #if you look from the right angle #its just the truth bro #lesbian #questioning #wlw mlm solidarity #cloudy rambles

There's something so special about wlw and mlm solidarity. Sharing in the joy of being gay. Cherishing the similarities. And learning and loving each difference.

[qprstobin]

Gonna be frank, y'all constantly making posts about Robin and (gay) Eddie being friends based on their queerness that is its own thing separate from Steve, almost always paired with st/ddie being a thing is biphobic lol. It's always like omg wlw/mlm solidarity!!! Even tho stobin is already there being two queer people as friends? Like y'all are straight up treating Steve's queerness as different and lesser than Robin and Eddie's (especially bc I only ever see this with gay Eddie, never with bi Eddie). Y'all can make Eddie and Robin friends without the biphobia, y'all know that right?

Who here is willing to hear me out on exes Mizurui. Like. Mizurui, who're unaware of what actual romantic love is supposed to feel like, and started dating because they both can't figure out what it is so it has to be romantic, right?

But broke it off when they realized that it isn't what both of them wanted, on friendly terms. Turns out, they're qpr who knew. Also, they're peak mlm wlw solidarity after that.

ALSO also. Hear me out on exes Shizukasa but not in a "they dated" kind of exes. Like, they both caught feelings, but were too busy with life and disasters being thrown at them that they never figured out what it actually was. Once one figured it out, the other had already unintentionally moved on. So they had to learn to let go.

Shizukasa in a "first love, never meant to last" kind of way. A love that showed the potential of being loved, but could never reach its highest limit.

Anyways both Mizurui and Shizukasa stayed amazing friends even after and they joke around about it a lot. Which isn't funny in Shizukasa's case because people kept looking at him like "how the FUCK did you fumble SHIZUKU HINOMORI."

(Bonus, I had this stupid Shizukasa headcanon that they're each other's first kiss and Tsukasa used to ask to practice stage kisses with Shizuku a lot for school plays n stuff because he wanted to improve. Idk just unrelated info)

Ruikasa and Mizuena endgame but dude, think of how FUNNY it would be if Rui, a Shizuku stan (a fangirl even) found out that TSUKASA. The guy he's head over heels for. Had something between him and her. Like. He's definitely jealous. Of who? He doesn't fucking know dude all he knows is that he feels weird and scared

My more in depth thoughts on Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies ep 8 (1/4?)

CYNTHIA’S COMPULSORY HETROSEXUALITY

Obviously the whole Cynthia/Shy Guy plot is to cover Cynthia’s compulsory heterosexuality and is quite natural given the time period. I think that’s probably the reason behind the dress and makeup this episode as well - as in its shows her outward desire to conform to what’s expected of her and so she tries to copy the other pink ladies.

Lydia’s “you can’t pull that off” line was really interesting to me though because throughout the series it’s already kind of been established that Cynthia and Lydia can have conversations without ever saying anything to each other out loud. So what I think that line actually directly translates into is “I don’t believe you actually like him”. And this triggers Cynthia because she did the dress, the makeup, all of which make her so uncomfortable in order to hide her true character almost like a suit of armour to protect herself but Lydia STILL sees through it and that scares her so she backs herself further into this corner by calling Shy Guy her boyfriend. And that’s why she tries it on with Shy Guy in the kitchen - almost like she’s trying to convince herself that she can like men but when it doesn’t change anything she projects this onto Shy Guy by saying he’s not a “real man”. It’s another defence mechanism, almost like she’s so sure that if he was a “real man” then she would like it so it’s not her fault. The problem is despite her feelings being valid, she hurts those around her in the process.

I also wonder if we’re seeing her story mirroring Shy Guy’s. If the show does goes down this root of Shy Guy also being queer, it would make sense as to why he seems to like Cynthia out of all the girls because of her masc/butch presentation. And why when Cynthia kisses him, he pulls away because maybe he’s realising that he actually doesn’t like her like that either. I also cant stop thinking about that short scene in ep 8 when he’s stood by the car with a few of the thespian guys (all of the thespians are queer and I will die on that hill) but it definitely looks like they’re nodding towards him - as if they kind of recognise him as queer as well (gaydar anyone?). It would be nice if the show took this root because if so, when he and Cynthia hopefully makeup, it would be cool to see some mlm/wlw solidarity.

Obviously it could also be that he’s feeling self-conscious about Cynthia’s comments - the thespian guys don’t fit into the category of stereotypical masculinity and it may be that he’s trying to figure out how to fit into that stereotype and they make him self-conscious. Shy Guy’s whole character arc seems to revolve around masculinity and how he can show that masculinity and the softness that comes more naturally to his character at the same time much like the subplot in ep 7 with his father and the boxing. So for Cynthia to say he’s not a “real man” probably cuts really deep.

I just hope we get everything between Cynthia and Shy Guy resolved in the next two episodes because I need them to go back to being besties.

thoughts on verin getting to know the mighty nein:

fjord: voted most likely to be verin's crush. each of them thinks the other is way cooler than them and sometimes it just makes them really awkward around each other but once they get comfortable they're just very loud about Look At My Badass Friend. they fall into the habit of shooting each other "can you believe this" looks when the others start making ridiculous plans, as if they don't also love the chaos. verin is committed to being fjord's personal hype man, and he takes his job very seriously.

beau: at first, beau mostly just thinks verin is kind of annoying (though funny to watch when he annoys the shit out of essek), but he turns out to be a good workout buddy and is more than willing to get wrapped up in her and fjord's shenanigans. the first time they really hit it off is when beau is connecting the dots on her latest mystery of choice and verin jumps in to start bouncing off of her ideas, and everyone else just watches in awe as they frantically unravel it together.

caleb: verin is not immune to the urge to manhandle the resident scrawny wizard, and is even less so after finding out he's the one essek is in love with. he plays the part of the "if you ever hurt him i will make you pay" brother for a while (mostly because he thinks it's funny and it annoys essek) but ultimately, he becomes like a brother to caleb too. also, he's obsessed with any and every cat that caleb brings his way. bring him a particularly small cat and he will shed a tear.

veth: verin thinks veth is hilarious, but he's also a bit terrified of her (which absolutely goes to her head). he does, however, prove to be fantastic with luc, and the presents he brings for luc start being accompanied by particularly nice trinkets he thought she would like. sometimes veth teases fjord talking about how strong verin is, which immediately makes verin blush every time.

jester: these two together are literal sunshine. they bring out each other's excitement and absolutely light up a room once they set each other off. if you see them whispering to each other, expect the unexpected, because they might be planning the prank of the century but they also might just be planning on surprising everyone with baked goods. (sometimes both. usually both.) essek fears seeing them in a room together because it exponentially increases his chances of getting hug-attacked.

kingsley: kingsley flirts with verin constantly and verin is adorably confused by it, which only makes it more appealing for kingsley. verin thinks it's really cool that kingsley is an actual pirate, and kingsley absolutely eats up the attention and awe. they sometimes gossip together, and kingsley manages to bring out a catty side of verin that essek didn't even know existed.

caduceus: while verin was the odd one out among his generally serious family, he fits right in with the chaos of the clay family. he easily falls back into the role of "lovingly shitty little brother," so much so that caduceus' own annoying brother side tends to come out while they're together. unsurprisingly, caduceus is also the only one able to get verin to talk about all the things he tries to pretend aren't weighing him down.

yasha: beefy blonde besties, classic introvert-extravert pair, and mlm/wlw solidarity at its finest. it's not uncommon to find the two of them staying up late talking about anything that comes to mind. verin is no less convinced of yasha's ability to send magical messages than yasha herself is. when her wings are out, he begs her relentlessly for a ride until she gives in. he has a certain brightness to his personality that yasha didn't want to admit she missed when molly became kingsley.

bonus:

astrid: verin is, respectfully, absolutely terrified of astrid. not just because she used to be an assassin for the other side of the war he was trained to fight – he gets over that part quickly enough, he just thinks she specifically is intimidating, and she regularly leans into it just to amuse herself. eventually, he works up the confidence to start trying to retaliate and fuck with her; he's not often successful, but it's a fun game and they're both irrationally competitive about it.

eadwulf: tied for most likely to be verin's crush. verin also thinks he's intimidating, but more in the "if you put a knife to my throat i might just have to make out with you" way than in the "if you put a knife to my throat i would say my goodbyes and accept my fate" way. eadwulf is particularly hard to get a real laugh out of, but verin gets good enough at it over time that even caleb is impressed. very rarely, verin even manages to get a snort-laugh out of him, which caleb never lets him live down.

#very long post please enjoy #told y'all i'd be verinposting for a while #just thinking a lot about if they had run into him and he had gotten to be besties with all of them #bc you can't tell me he wouldn't be #when i started thinking about this i wasn't expecting to decide he and yasha would be that close but then it just. made sense #i also love the idea of him and beau going conspiracy board mode together #turns out being in charge of strategizing against beings of pure chaos makes you good at taking wild leaps of logic that somehow work out #veth was the hardest but idk why?? #verin thelyss #the mighty nein #fjord stone #beau lionett #caleb widogast #veth brenatto #jester lavorre #kingsley tealeaf #caduceus clay #yasha nydoorin #astrid becke #eadwulf grieve #essek thelyss #critical role #c2 #cr headcanons

2 for ryoga and akane

2. Favorite canon thing about this character?

Ryoga: he never clears this up with akane (or ranma) 💀 akane probably thinks theyre mlm wlw solidarity while ryoga has baby names for them picked out in his head. either that or “i’ll just be akane’s pet pig forever and babysit their kids” like bestie PLEASE youre so pathetic

Akane: SO MUCH… can i just talk abt her bisexuality? I’m gonna talk abt her bisexuality.

Its so obvious when kasumi was telling her “i feel like i have a little brother, you need to stop acting like that or dr tofu won’t like you anymore” the underlying message was “people are going to think you’re gay if you continue to act like a tomboy past puberty” and thats clearly what she internalized bc its brought up when nabiki tries to talk to her abt ranma’s curse in the first volume and calls it cool and akane responds “its NOT cool, what if people think I’M a pervert too?!”

ITS SO OBVIOUS THERE WERE SPARKS BETWEEN THEM WHEN THEY MET… TO THE POINT RANMA DIDNT EVEN WANT TO REVEAL HIS CURSE BC HE DIDN’T WANT AKANE TO STOP LIKING HIM

Akane fights so hard for so long against being seen as gay even though its very obvious to everyone (how many times has nabiki pointed out that akane doesn’t mind the curse at all)

Her growth over the series and eventual acceptance that she isn’t as straight as she thought is so important to understanding the series as a whole 😭 i think people who hate the ending because ranma didn’t get cured don’t even realize…. it’d be a BAD ending if ranma didn’t come to terms w his curse and akane didn’t love ranma regardless. The reason ranma and akane work as a couple is bc they KNOW neither of them fit the Perfect Cishet Form they’ve been pressured to conform to their entire lives and they very openly love each other not in spite of but BECAUSE of that

#long post #I DONT THINK I WORDED THAT VERY WELL ITS NOT VERY DETAIL HEAVY #forgive me i wrote 2 essays yesterday for finals #anyway the difference in length and seriousness between my opinions on these two is so funny
