Stupidest Ikuhara Man Roundup
hello all: results are in for the most important poll of the year. in honor of our low intelligence men, I am going through each contestant and giving them the appreciation they deserve.
Tumblr media
our first contestant is Reo. he received zero percent of the vote because I forgot to include him, which is a shame because he's a real contender. I define stupid in Ikuhara works as "out of touch with feelings, others, and the broader reality" and oh boy is that true of Reo. he comes to no realizations without being forced into them and is ultimately brought down by his own blindness. sad!
Tumblr media
with 1.5% of the vote, Tooi is tied for last. I agree with this result; I think he's one of the smarter males included on the list. however, he is still pretty thick. there's the fact that he simps for his pretty boy friends, and he is another character who doesn't realize what would be good for him until it's too late.
Tumblr media
it's impressive that Shoma is so low on this list, given that around half of Penguindrum's humor revolves around how dumb he is. truly a testament to the lack of intelligence found among Ikuhara men. on the one hand, Shoma does have a certain kind of emotional intelligence, but he's just as capable of harming others through his self-centered perspective. despite his lack of smarts, Shoma received only 1.5% of the vote.
Tumblr media
after Shoma is Mikage, who in a way is Shoma's opposite: considered a genius but with no emotional intelligence. he's so delusional that he's rewritten the past and can't see the obvious, instead continuing to repeat the same cycle over and over. unwilling to grow up, he only leaves Ohtori when Akio no longer has need of him.
Tumblr media
tied with Mikage at 3.5% of the vote is Chikai. his low score is a true miscarriage of justice. the man is very, very dense, helped along by the fact that he thinks he's really smart and realistic. he has catchphrases which he repeats on a loop, and they only seem to impress 14 year olds. like most Ikuhara characters, he's a tragic figure brought down by his own flaws and unwilling to face what he really feels. he's also significantly older than most other characters on this list which should give him some extra stupid points in my opinion.
Tumblr media
next is Kazuki at 5%. he's emotionally closed off, disconnected, and unaware of how people around him feel, leading to plenty of interpersonal stupidity. he also is a silly teenage boy; when faced with an obstacle, he always seems to come up with the most convoluted solution possible. I don't know if "I have a hard time talking to my little brother, so I'll pretend to be his favorite idol" is stupid or brilliant, but it's sure something.
Tumblr media
with 5.5% of the vote, Enta has been chosen as the dumbest Sarazanmai character. it's funny because most of his cunning is motivated by very stupid feelings. he has an emotional intelligence to him, he can be quick on the uptake, but all of those moments are weighed down by his ridiculous, out-of-control crush.
Tumblr media
Akio got 7% of the vote. I know he's an evil mastermind and all, but I think he's really quite stupid. he's so set in his ways, sure he knows everything, that anything outside of his field of vision may as well not exist to him. he chooses to live in an empty, meaningless way since it gives him power, yet he's miserable, but all he does with that misery is feel sorry for himself. a pretend prince indeed.
Tumblr media
Kanba tied with Akio. he was my personal pick on this poll, although my vote may have been different on a different day. the boy has no sense; he spends the entire show trying to be the man, the protector and provider and savior, but if he'd read ahead a little he would have found out that he was the one who needed saving. the threads of denial and delusion on this character are impossible to unravel. to me, "thick" means "impossible to reach," and oh boy is that true of Kanba.
Tumblr media
in second place, with 9% of the vote, is Touga! on the one hand, I don't know if I think he's dumb; like Anthy, his alienation means he's ahead of his peers in certain ways. but on the other, yeah he's dumb, he's REAL dumb. he's a living reminder that pride comes before a fall, and by the end, even the best friend he's looked down on for years is calling his dumbassery out.
Tumblr media
and the winner of the dumbest Ikuhara male poll is Saionji, with 56.3% of the vote! let's all congratulate this absolute fucking moron on his accomplishment. he's the butt of every joke, constantly making a fool of himself; his own show implies that he's on the same level as a pet monkey. and that's why we love him.
thank you to all who voted! the poll received 199 votes, which was way more than I expected.

lily is taking an L and much like A dumb person tries to refuse it in the dumbest way possible
so the other day apparently Lily decided to unlisted her SU video what motivated her I have no idea why she decided to do it that day. Maybe someone shit on her in the comments or maybe one person suggestion it and a bunch of other people rally behind that because I’m going to tell you this it wasn’t because of any of those other reasons that Lily decided to bring it up with
Tumblr media
For whatever the reason actually may be it probably wasn’t enough because she decided you know I don’t like getting shit on by trolls and let them have an over me. Let’s go ahead and bring this video back even though I stated that it’s gonna bring harm to my friends and family , even though I don’t really have any nice opinions on it even though in another video, I stated that most of what I said was out of frustration because I was dating this bad girlfriend as long as those trolls get a W I just can’t let that happen at least that’s what’s her motivation at least otherwise I would’ve just done a smarter thing and said hey, if you wanted to watch this video again pay me five dollars on my Patreon. And yes, she did do this because the trolls got a W out of her. It is funny as fuck though to see her fans, get upset at trolls for getting a w over this dumb thing like she’s doing this on her own self by the way like she didn’t even have to bring it back. She could’ve literally just went like whatever and moved on with her life but now basically the trolls now. Wow, what an actual bitch putting her friends and family back on the list of people to shit because of the SU video. Also, she decided to expose the fact that she does read the Lily orchard tag.
Tumblr media
Also, credit to @mrwilliewonka for the screenshots. This is hilarious.

okay here's the plan. i think i've figured out (mayybe?) with the help of many friends helping me piece together some ideas for the two situations that i haven't been able to place down for the a/b/o ive been writing.
this one is a long one, thank you so much to literally EVERYONE who has commented or DMmed me or VCed me the past week listening to me ramble about this like a madman trying to come up with a plan. here's what i've compiled to make it easier on my self!
omega soft-heats: vision blurry (see better in dim light), hungry, don't need excessive food. more prone to tears; have significantly more higher peaks of emotion and more lower peaks. oscillation between highs and lows are hard to stop, but they're... doable. they level out by leaving the softheat in either direction-- taking a suppressant to go back to normal, or starting a full-blown heat. they're lucid, are able to talk, able to do normal things that don't require eye-sight, but aren't exactly 100% normal. kitty specifically is more combative when in her soft-heat (RSD with ADHD is the most DUMBEST THING EVER FOR HER). she should rest (but she won't), because she'll be tired.
omegas heats: can see (much better) in the dark, require more food than normal, dehydrate faster, produce too much slick. sweat easily. when the heat reaches climax (ha!), they reach the standard a/b/o omega heat problem where they don't remember much. a fever starts, a lot more dehydration, but it's not lethal. they burrow into somewhere soft and dark like a Creachure. true bone-deep exhaustion in this stage.
omega heats go through cycles of soft-heats and full heats throughout the whole day/week. when safe and sound, an omega will probably spend more time in heat (vulnerable!) than in soft-heat, and this won't cause any harm. however should an omega be injured, their body will give into exhaustion a lot more, which may not be good depending on the circumstances.
alpha soft-ruts: low-state of arousal, more anxious to take care of loved ones. end up being exhausted.
alpha rut: dazed, the urge to provide for family is too strong. constantly checking windows, doors, for open cracks or unlocked handles. they dehydrate faster and wake up more often from poor quality sleep, most have insomnia because they're too busy making sure that things are okay. depending on how easily stressed an alpha is, they'll spend more time in a rut than an actual soft-rut, because that way they can keep more attention on their loved ones this way. will continuously lick at the back of neck to help break omega's fever. luka specifically gives kitty many, many baths so that they're both kept clean and smelling nice. (he doesn't like the smell of him, it reminds him too much of spending his own ruts alone without her.)
ruts also have a cycle, though they tend to be set up in a way that if an omega is going through heat, they match the energy. if omega is in a soft-heat, the alpha will go through a soft-rut and get as much sleep as possible because it's safer. vice versa.
i think i'm going to have the 'mating bite' be a reucrring thing like someone explained to me. in order for luka to bond and stay bonded with kitty, he'd have to bite her often at the neck right on the glands. that way, i can still let them bite; let kitty bite him all over, including the asscheek (asscheek!) and it wouldn't count. licking/biting the gland helps soothe and relax when scared. continuous biting means it'll have to scar. i think biting the area will damage a bit of skin tissue there, which will help explain why it needs to be a recurring bite, and specifically in that area. every time they want to get their mating bite to stay for a while longer, kitty has to admit that she still wants to, which is very hard but it is growth for her character. and i need that. she shows this by biting him on the arms, the shoulders, the asscheek (asscheek!!!) that she's desperate to bite him in the place where it would count.
this is the end of the ted talk. if i have glaring plotholes, let me know? im very sleepy so i will sleep on this an dhopefully i like it when i wake back up

i looked on lgbta wiki to discern what the hell that person could possibly mean by “male lesbian” and i think i lost braincells reading their lesbian page but my best guess is that they’re talking about non-binary men and/or trans men. apparently, according to lgbta wiki (which is a very reliable source, as we can tell due to the completely objective way they present their articles /s), lesbianism means attraction to all genders except for binary men, except bi lesbians and straightsbians are totally valid and totally still lesbians even though they’re literally attracted to binary men i guess?? and then all of the “everyone except for binary men” stuff goes out the window because trans men can be lesbians if they feel a connection to lesbianism or they used to identify as lesbians before they realised they were men or whatever the fuck. and then there’s this whole thing where it goes “a common form of transandrophobia includes saying that trans men are just ‘confused lesbians’ because all lesbians feel some level of detachment from their gender” and it might just be me but it really feels like there’s an implied but we’re not like that! because for some reason they feel the need to constantly point out that trans men are still 100% real men and identifying as lesbians doesn’t make them less of one?? like hot take people who believe trans men are really men don’t feel the need to constantly affirm that they think trans men are men. and the comments are even worse! nobody questions anything even though it’s all complete nonsense, and i’m pretty sure anyone who actually dares to say that it’s complete nonsense just gets deleted. they even locked the page so only admins could edit it because apparently there were problems with people getting upset about the definitions (shocker) and changing it. someone even said “Before you get angry about this accurate information presented in this article, take some time to self reflect and realize that maybe you were wrong.” because yup, people (lesbians, mostly, but you can’t just say you’re talking about lesbians because that will get you rightly called out) are totally upset about this because they’re evil exclusionists who hate change and not because the notion that lesbians be attracted to men and/or be men is super lesphobic and harmful to them. like… they’ve turned lesbianism into a fun little label that literally everyone can identify as except for cis binary men and anyone who isn’t attracted to women/non-binary people regardless of alignment (even though the whole “you can be attracted to non-binary people in the same way someone can be attracted to men/women” is bs anyways but that’s not how these people see it), which completely defeats the point of lesbianism as a functional identity. thankfully this is just a loud minority, but holy shit they hate lesbians so much it’s wild.
There's not a lot I can add to this. Inclusionists love to erase and demonize lesbians, it's their favorite hobby. I'd like to point out I also see q*eer as a label being pushed on lesbians more than gay men. I have seen it with gay men too, but it seems to be mostly lesbians. A woman can literally flat out say she is a LESBIAN in no uncertain terms and inclus will still crawl out of the woodwork to call her a "q*eer woman". Like inclus are So Fucking Dedicated to either watering down lesbianism until it's a cute little label anybody can claim if they want to, regardless of if they're even women or if they're even attracted to women, or demonize lesbians to the point where they make it seem like all lesbians are mean evil TERFs.
I will never forget a post I saw a screenshot of some time ago that was aces claiming they have more right to the D slur than lesbians do, because the slur targets women who are sexually unavailable to men, and according to inclu logic, an ace is more sexually unavailable to men than a lesbian is. Despite the million different stupid fucking variations of asexual, including 'sex positive aces'. Like they genuinely believe a homosexual woman is undeserving of reclaiming the slur that is primarily directed at homosexual women because she... Experiences attraction. Every time I think I have seen the dumbest shit imaginable from inclus, they seem to take it as a personal challenge and make up something worse.
Also, fuck the LGBTA wiki, they're so blatanly homophobic, biphobic and transphobic all the fucking time over there, I lose brain cells every time I see a screenshot of that dumpster fire.

Hello! May I request a HC about Deuce & Ace taking care of MC together who was accidentally turned to a child (perhaps 5/6 yr old and she would act like one) because of Grim in Crewels class? PLS feature Jack if its okay! Thank youuu~

➻ content: a cursed...lemonade..

Tumblr media Tumblr media
➺ "deuce!!!!"
➺ a fuck here we go again.
➺ "what?!" screamed the first year while he coughed and swatted the big pink smoke that scattered around the room.
 ➺ what happened, you may ask? well, you see, grim had knocked over carnation nectar into the cauldron which led to a little accident as the unfinished potion was vulnerable to any strong chemical compound. the room is now contaminated by pink smoke followed by coughing students added with grim and ace yelling at each other.
➺ deuce is trying to calm the two down until a crack of whip silenced the two bickering first years and a very pissed crewel now stood before the three of them. “i already warned all of you not to be careless when it comes to experiments and yet you puppies have made an accident that could harm anyone!” came his stern yell. the professor snapped his finger and the smoke instantly disappeared giving the students time to breathe.
➺ “let’s be thankful that no one got harmed. as for you three, i’ll be giving you extra homework to discipline you. hand it over next week. am i understood?!” the three simultaneously nodded while deuce sighed. he was dragged into another problem again just because he was partnered up with ace. the students would’ve gone back to work if it wasn’t for a pile of clothes talking.
➺ “what happened?” it spoke as they tried to pull the clothes away from their head. grim yelped in surprise as he jumped on the stool and looked down at the moving bump under the pile of clothes. “those are y/n’s clothes!” he exclaimed. ace cautiously walked closer, reaching out to pull the lab coat off the little body and there they saw their beloved y/n staring up at them with their adorably big eyes.
➺ “damn it…” divus mumbled under his breath as he placed his hands on his hips. he looked at the little accident who curiously looked around, oblivious to the fact that their teenage body has now turned into the body of a five-year-old. everyone in the lab whispered and awed upon your cute appearance. your clothes wouldn’t fit you anymore due to the size so they ringed around you by your feet. you didn’t like the stares you’re getting from these tall scary people so you began wailing.
➺ “spade, trappola, you handle y/n as they are now your responsibility. i will make something to revert them back as soon as possible. hand your paper over and get this pup somewhere away from the lab,” divus ordered.
➺ and now you have big brother deuce and ace to look after you. since baby clothes wouldn’t commonly be available around school areas, they sought into using your available clothes by tying it up around your small body. they’re both the dumbest babysitters any kid would have. heck, they both don’t even know how to carry you so you just waddled beside them while holding ace’s hand.
➺ deuce is scared of touching you. you look so fragile.
➺ you would complain and whine about being hungry. you would throw tantrums when they would take away anything that’s dangerous but is toys in your eyes. you already bit grim’s tail that he nearly burned you if it wasn’t for deuce throwing him away. literally.
➺ you wouldn’t stop wailing at all. who wouldn’t be when you’re stuck with two dumbasses who know nothing about taking care of a kid? your loud wails eventually irritated a certain first-year who was jogging around the campus. jack saw little you and walked over to even question what made you shrink like this. since jack has two little siblings, it’s a natural instinct for him to subconsciously volunteer to look after you. it’s in a wolf’s nature too!
➺ it shocked ace and deuce to the core when you slowly calmed down from your cries and fell into a fit of giggles. you called jack, “kie kie” and wouldn’t let go of his tail when he used it to calm you down. much to his dismay, as embarrassing as it looks, he can’t just let two careless morons look after you. so, you have three babysitters and one that actually knows what he’s doing.
➺ grim is prohibited from coming near you.
➺ the adeuce duo would eventually learn from jack’s teachings. he’s slightly aggressive but he needs to force himself to be gentle when he’s around you since you’re easily scared. you would tail around him to his classes instead of being around adeuce. he’s now your favourite babysitter!
➺ in terms of food, jack would approach epel for some apples and have ruggie mush them for him. of course, you’re playing with ace and deuce when jack needs to do that. his dorm isn’t exactly friendly.
➺ you’re healthily fed since even ace and deuce would ask trey for some of his baked pastries suitable for a young child’s stomach. grim is jealous with the amount of food you’re getting. 
➺ the one who would make you cry the most would be ace. he couldn’t keep his hands to himself when you’re doing something cute -- like calling them by the nicknames you give them or talking to the stuff toys given to you (don’t ask where they came from) -- and would pinch your cheeks a little too hard or poke your belly.
➺ jack is so close to punching the said first year.
➺ speaking of the wolf, he would let you play with his tail and ears when you feel like it (which is all the time). you’re too adorable to resist and it’s not like you’re no different from his siblings. you’re not as sporty as them but it made ace and deuce’s job better.
➺ ace took the responsibility to change you and bathe you, jack took the responsibility to feed you, look after you, and calm you down, while deuce volunteered to do the retrieving job when you needed something. again, deuce is scared of looking after you since he’s admittedly dumb when it comes to kids but spare him some air, he’s learning.
➺ tiring, yes, but looking after you is like paying back for all the time you would waste on looking after their asses when they’re in trouble or when they needed assistance.
➺ it was bittersweet when crewel finally found an antidote to bring you back. they would miss looking after you and playing innocent you. jack loved it when you would ride on his shoulders or chase after his tail, ace would miss your chubbiness and squishiness, and deuce would miss it when you would crawl over to him and give him some of your food. either way, those wouldn’t change when you grew back. you’re still the same y/n.
➺ when you’re back to your usual self, you barely remembered anything but jack, ace, and deuce would tease about all your doings as a kid. you would thank them but now your only problem is to look for grim after deuce threw him away.

Thinking a lot of postgame Yes Man thoughts tonight.. I have so many ideas about the development of his personality and morality depending on what sort of person the courier happens to be?
(Putting the rest under a cut because this post got kinda long)
So like.. to preface this, I’ve seen it said by a few people (and I agree) that, because it can be completed no matter what your courier has done beforehand, the independent/wildcard ending has the potential to be either the best or the worst ending for the Mojave depending on your courier’s actions leading up to it; it’s all dependant on what sort of a person your courier is, their moral compass, what they’ve done. A wildcard courier could be any sort of person; they could be the dumbest idiot, an absolute saint or the cruellest bastard who ever lived. And one thing that I think should be explored more is the way that this relates to Yes Man.
Yes Man doesn’t really seem to know anyone else. He knew Benny, of course, and possibly Emily Ortal to some degree, but there’s not really much evidence to show what their relationship was like; he seems almost a little scathing or resentful of Benny here and there, but mostly speaks about him in an indifferent, ‘just stating the facts’ sort of way that makes me suspect that they weren’t very close. His opinions on a few of the factions are actually quite different to Benny’s, so it seems his values are mostly his own and didn’t just rub off on him from Benny. As for other people knowing him, Benny is the only person in the game to mention Yes Man by name, so we can assume the courier is the only other person he’s actually spent any time with.
In a way, I guess you could say this means that Yes Man goes from Benny’s workshop being his entire world to the courier being his entire world, and this is where it gets interesting to me.
Everyone has different interpretations of what Yes Man means by upgrading himself to be ‘a little more assertive’ at the end of the game. Sure, word of god said something about it just being intended to mean that Yes Man would no longer have to answer to anyone but the courier, but I like to think that it could be interpreted differently, depending on what sort of a dynamic that particular courier has built up with Yes Man.
As much as I always roll my eyes at the ‘Yes Man is actually evil and manipulating the courier in order to rise to power and then betray them’ types of theories, Yes Man is clearly capable of forming his own opinions and feelings towards things and people.. so, after the battle of Hoover Dam, once his upgrade is complete and he’s no longer forced by his programming to submit to the whims of whoever he speaks to, would he really choose to remain loyal to just any courier?
Despite his people-pleasing tendencies, Yes Man always makes his preferences pretty clear when he presents choices of action to the courier. There’s usually one choice he seems enthused about, and another choice that he presents as undesirable, whether that’s because it’s a bad choice for the future of New Vegas, or just less appealing to him, personally. For example, his disdain for the BOS appears to be at least partially out of concern for his own wellbeing - if the courier tells him that they’ve sided with the BOS, his immediate disappointment seems to be mostly based on his concern that the BOS will really want to blow him up or scrap him for salvage; he almost seems insulted that the courier would side with a faction that would wish harm on him.
Anyway, this post is getting too long already because I have too many thoughts and I’m not capable of being concise ever, so I’ll try and get to the point: the unique dynamic that each different courier has with Yes Man could deeply impact the sort of person he becomes once he has more free will. Once Benny is out of the picture, the courier is presumably the only person in Yes Man’s life, so the way that they treat him and maybe even just their own personality could both seriously influence the direction he takes as a character.
If the courier consistently disregarded Yes Man’s wishes, perhaps by getting cosy with the BOS and blowing up the securitron army and whatnot, would Yes Man hold resentment towards them for it? What if they were openly hostile towards him over the course of their partnership; would he really remain on their side once he finally had a choice in the matter? If they treated him cruelly, and he later killed them or left them once he had the free will to do so, would he then be more likely to hold distrust and resentment for humans in general as a result of his limited experience with them being so unpleasant?
On the other hand, what if a courier was kind and considerate towards him, and treated him with respect as though he were just another valued friend they’d made along the way? Would he enjoy their company, and choose to stay by their side even once his upgrade was complete and he was no longer obligated to help them?
Something else to consider is something I find especially interesting; what if the courier’s overall morals and their treatment of Yes Man weren’t exactly aligned? For example, a very good karma courier who happens to hate robots and only sides with Yes Man as a last resort, due to it being the only way to achieve an independent New Vegas, but doesn’t actually like him or befriend him? What would become of their partnership once the courier succeeded at the Dam?
Or, possibly my favourite concept, the complete opposite.. what about a courier with very evil karma who’s basically an irredeemable, bloodthirsty sadist, but they happen to really like Yes Man & think he’s neat so they become inseparable friends with him? What would Yes Man himself be like if the courier he was so close to was objectively a monstrous person?
And that’s one of the things I find the most fun to theorise about. Yes Man’s own morals are sort of a blank slate; despite how friendly and harmless he appears, he’s still really a big, formidable robot who seems to have accidentally been made far too self aware, and he may have a few opinions about certain things but when it comes down to it, Yes Man on his own is neither good nor evil. However, I think that depending on the kind of person the courier is, and the nature of their relationship, his morals could either remain quite neutral or develop considerably in either direction, so there are tons of ways to portray his postgame personality and they‘re all equally plausible because he’s just such a uniquely flexible character in that way.
Perhaps he picks up a mean streak from his evil courier friend and they have an absolute blast terrorising the wasteland and its inhabitants together! Or perhaps his loyalties lie with a kind and idealistic courier who tries their best to help people, and he comes to understand the importance of such things as he helps them achieve their goals! Either way, he’d still be the Yes Man that we know and love; the difference in him in those scenarios purely depends on the company he keeps and their actions towards him.
Anyway, that’s all I have to say about this stuff for now; I’ve been wanting to write about this for about a year, so I hope you’ll all excuse how long this post got. This is still all total speculation, since there's really no way of knowing for sure what Yes Man would be like after the upgrade or even the extent of the upgrade in general, but I just feel like there's so much unexplored potential for character development and postgame story stuff. The most important point I’m trying to make is I guess just to remember to have fun with the dynamic between Yes Man and the courier! The wildcard storyline leaves so much up to interpretation in regards to him, so it can be really fun to experiment with that. And it’s cool to think that, in a way, the Yes Man that your courier interacts with is unique to them, because no two couriers are the same!

Am I the only one who likes seeing muscular women in media more than muscular men?
Alright so, this one will probably end up much shorter and a little more ranty than I'd like, but this is kind of personal so be fairly warned. 
 Recently I've seen a few complaints about the new He-Man show and honestly, I fully understand and empathize with them. Whilst I haven't fully seen the show, from what I've viewed I can personally speaking agree (or at the very least understand) where most criticisms come from. I think it's incredibly shitty that the writer basically lied to his audience about how the show would run. Now normally I'd be fine with a twist such as He-man dying, but he's an important part of the show and the way the marketing & merchandising for it was running kind of comes across as him basically using He-Man's name to get people into the show. I also feel like it's fine to view Teela as obnoxious and annoying, nothing about her personality-wise seems likable to me. I also heard a few complaints about Orko's (I think that's his name, don't crucify me) backstory and how his character was handled.Yet as the title suggests one that didn't stick with me was the criticism of Teela and a general trend towards the criticism of women in media as being "masculine". 
I've heard over and over that Hollywood representing strong women by giving them masculine traits is a bad thing and yet... I kind of don't get it? It feels odd to say, almost like I'm the dumbest man alive for admitting something which most people on the internet seem to be so sure about, yet I just don't understand where this is coming from. I've seen this thrown at She-hulk, Wonder Woman, Abby, and many other characters, yet when inquired it usually loops back around to, "Yeah they have muscles", and that's about it. This type of criticism in specific seems to overly focus on the appearance of said characters. It's the one critique I just can't get behind and it feels like at best it's a shallow criticism that fails to get its point across, and at worst it's actively demeaning to women who desire to or show masculine traits. But first, let me break this down into sections.
Section 1: Muscles =/= Masculinity (In my opinion at least)
Oh boy, I feel like this is a section that might rustle some feathers, but I'm going to try and explain myself best as possible. I simply do not view muscularity as a feature that is inherent to or should be inherent to men. I'm not going to pretend as if muscular men aren't more saturated in media and art, nor as if they're societally treated as masculine, but one of the reasons I fail to understand this criticism is that I see muscles beyond the horizons as being just a masculine trait. 
I believe that muscles should instead be seen as a sign of hard work and determination. As someone who's currently trying (and struggling) to stay healthy and fit, it's much harder than a lot of media portrays it to be. It's a test where you push yourself to the limits, not just for the sake of doing it, but so you can improve as a person. Whenever I go to the gym and see a muscular gal or guy walk by, my immediate thought isn't, "how masculine" or anything like that my thought is, "wow! They worked hard to get like that, I should work hard as well!". 
This interpretation tends to feel like it's just simply taking a piss on people who actively work hard to achieve higher levels of strength. Especially when society places and enforces these unrealistic standards onto people. If you don't have a six-quintillion pack nor can bench press a fucking house then you're worthless, of course, that is unless you actually attempt to pursue said standards which in that case you're automatically dismissed as cheating your way to gaining your muscles instead of putting any work in. And that's just for men who often don't have to deal with traditional idiots who are stuck in the year 1950 where I can't walk on the same street as them. My skin crawls when reading tweets from older men talking about how weightlifting women are "ruining their fertility" and I absolutely hate it when people in my life treat these women as if they're mythical creatures from a fairy tale, or when females who have trained to such a degree are simply dismissed as being inferior. 
Obviously, I don't think the people who say this are like that, but whenever I hear this type of critique I can't help but think of the culmination of all these experiences I've gone through. But then again, this might honestly just be because I'm personally attracted to muscular women.
  Section 2: Body type diversity
  Another reason that I tend to like muscular women in media over muscular men is simply due to the sheer oversaturation of muscular men. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem if anybody likes muscular men. I totally get wanting to shove your face in between some man titties or get inspired by their physiques. In all honesty, almost everything I said earlier can directly apply to men, but one of the reasons I bring up body type diversity is that there tend to be much less muscular women than men. I
f anything, I'd have to say that muscular men are almost treated as the default when it comes to things like superhero comics, movies, video games, anime, etc. In a similar vein, the default for women tends to be slim and curvaceous, you get the drill. Whenever someone who doesn't fit into either body type shows up and isn't treated like a joke/gag or a character to rip on, I can't help but be happy about it. As much as I have no clue wtf is going on with TLOU2, I can appreciate that Abby's portrayal doesn't seem to exist solely as a joke meant to demean women for working out. I'm excited when an anime protagonist is a fat character who can go beyond just being a "fat guy" and is treated the same way a normal person would be.
 Regardless of what you think about whatever trait you're criticizing, there's probably someone out there who fits it. If you're not into it or dislike it, then that's fine, but I'd rather have that expressed than it being actively made out as a harmful trope as opposed to just literally another body type that some women have.
  Section 3: Muscular women inspire me more
Ok so, we've now blown into a full-on personal experience, buckle up boys, girls, NBs, anything in between, and I feel like I'm forgetting someone so apologies! But yeah, muscular women in media tend to be a lot more inspiring than people seem to give them credit for. This comes down to a mix of both the qualities I outlined earlier in what makes the characters inspiring but also plays into the idea of body diversity. 
One of the traits that make amazons seem more inspiring is their inherent rarity/lack of screentime. As I stated earlier, whilst I do enjoy my fair share of man-titties, it kind of gets to a point where it's more depressing than inspiring when all you see is just super-models shoved in your face whenever you walk into a theater. If for every Goku I could find ten other guys who were on the chubbier side then I'd be able to take more from when I see Goku and other characters with his body type, yet it's so saturated that it no longer becomes something to aspire to, but simply the norm.  It's not that you can work to become muscular or skinny with hard work and effort, you have to be muscular or skinny unless you want to be deemed a failure. Being chubby often isn't presented as a starting point but just treated as a defect. As someone who spent years battling with my own self-perception, that's just not a good message to get across.
Now, this obviously isn't to say that people can never make muscular characters. After all, it's their story so they can put whatever they want in it. The aim of the game isn't to stop people from making a specific type of character, but to encourage a diverse set of people to make a diverse set of characters. This is the reason why I view muscular women as so inspiring. Instead of coming across as just "the norm" or "the standard" they stand out from the crowd and despite knowing what they have to deal with, are still ready and willing to work out and improve their bodies. They had a goal in mind and set time aside to achieve said goal, that's something I can get behind.
  Conclusion:
This will be another short section, but I just wanted to mention it because it caps off my thoughts on this post in general. What originally started as me just not getting the reason why people disliked Teela's design somehow turned into a passionate rant and I'm A) not sure if it fits on this particular subsection of the community, B) scared I'm going to get ripped to pieces, and C) somewhat unsatisfied with all that I said. At the end of the day, this probably won't be seen by too many people, but to those who do see it, I hope you have a wonderful day. I just wanted to talk about something that was near and dear to my heart and hoped that I made it clear why I view things the way I do. 
P.S: Can we stop having this double standard where we act like women whose arms show the slightest hint of definition are "unrealistic" whilst men can look like tree trunks and be considered normal and healthy? please and thank you!

hi, could i please request a story with sett finding out that his girlfriend is depressed and self-harming? she's been avoiding him, so one day she gets home from a friend's house and find him sitting in her living room, demanding that they talk. she refuses and in the middle of their arguments, he ends up seeing her scars. soft boi sett pls 😔❤❤❤
This will get more than one part but it's a work and progress story and my first published Fanfiction writing here.
Trigger warning for depressive behavior
Trigger warning for abuse
Sett Fanfiction 01
and his Abigail.
Sett
»I got a new jewel and I never want to give it away. And I want ya'll to know that I want ya'll to stay away from her.« I say brightly smiling with my girl to my right. Next to the arena she has a chair right next too mine, okay let's call it throne, she has throne right next to mine. »Sett... You're the Boss no one will touch me.« she said looking plainly into the arena. She is always kind of weird, does she hate me so much? But she could have tried to run away, I mean I would have catched her but trying at least. I put my elbow on the armrest, and put my chin in my hand. I really like my princess but she always looks drained and unhappy, annoyed I sigh. In the arena the older guy seems to lose, the younger one broke his arm it's really disgusting and bloody, but even then, she doesn't twitch. Usually would a woman to my side scream and hiding her head in my jacket. And I can pat their heads smirking, but there was never a woman I liked under them, there all boring and the same. Woman first resist being with me but then when I loose interest in them they try everything to stay. I sign again. »Do you... don't feel well Sett?« my girl asks calm and almost whispering, I look her directly in her face, she doesn't blush but can't look into my eyes either. »Nah it's all good I just thought about something.« I say leaning back again into my throne. »Do you want to eat something today? You didn't for the past...« I have to think short »Well, since you're here. You have to be hungry don't ya?« I smile broadly at her. She doesn't answer immediately, »Boooring!« I say loud and that's the first time I saw her giving a somewhat natural reaction. »You alright?« I feel like talking to myself.
Abigail
»Yes, I'm fine.« I feel bad for not answering Sett, but I don't really know what to answer him. He is talking a lot, and I don't want to get to know him any better than I'm currently am. I'm not able to look at Sett his reaction I can't stand eye contact at all, and that could happen when I look up. I mean, many people can't look others in the eyes or? I think so. »I don't know what to eat, when can I go back home?« I ask him because I can't stand being with him. I mean my father has to be happy when he lost me and I come back, he was never happy to see me. My mother and my younger brother died a few years ago since then I'm alone with my dad. A a mass murderer named Jhin killed them both, when they went to the market to buy supplies. »You don't want to stay with me?« he asks the dumbest questions, but I'm not able to say yes, I can't directly tell him I don't want to stay. I'm mentally not able to say what I think, and it would annoy me but I'm currently not able to feel this emotion for whatever reason. »My father will miss me when I stay here.« I recognize that sett moved towards me »But he claimed you are dead, my servant asked him personally.« my body fezzes and I look down. Dad must me confused, he must think I'm dead, but he saw me. He didn't look for me the past days, I mean this is Sett and his girls names are well known, I mean I didn't told him my name, but someone has to recognize me. »Can I leave and go to the room you presented me? I find the way.« Sett thinks »You run away I catch you. I'm fast.« I sign, who would be possibly so dumb and try to run away from him, it's the Boss. Everyone would return me to him just for a bit money, and I don't think I would be able to run away in the first place. I thought about answering him but I just stand up and go.
Sett
»Hey, Liam. Can you find out her name? I forgot to ask her and I don't think she would tell anyways.« Liam walks closer he is a daintily not very tall guy, but I appreciate his loyalty. »May I directly tell you Boss?« I lean my ears back »Go on Liam, don't be that mysterious with me. I carefully nudge him into the side. »Her name is Abigail, she is the daughter of Emilio, his woman and son died in the accident. He tried to sell her a few times, but she is just a human. You are the only one who wanted her.« I fully know what "the accident" is. Jhin's attack a lot of people died, but that father is a true bastard leaving his daughter like that. »They better didn't touched her, she is way to precious for anyone.« Liam bows down and is on his way. »Wait. Come back.« Liam turns back »Yes?... No, please not.« »Oh please your the sweetest.« I say than »This is nothing I should do.« »But you're my beloved friend and woman like kind gay guys, she will talk to you.« I replie. »Shhh don't mention it, be quiet and I go.« he wipers »and I'm not gay.« he left then. I like it when he talks to me like a normal person being, he is my friend he should talk like that all the time. I hope he is able to talk to her.
Abigail
I heard knocking against the door »Sett?« I ask »No it's not me, I mean yeah it's me, but I'm not Sett I'm Liam. I have snacks, can I come in?« before I can say no the door opens and daintily thin men enters my room. He really has snacks, grapes and stuff like that.

Mun Story: Pectus Excavatum.
Alright it’s Monday here now as it’s past Midnight and for Munday I could share a mun pic but I think I’d rather just share a story. I don’t know how many of you know this, probably not a lot, it’s not something I really actively talk about. To be honest, if you can get me to talk to you a lot ooc then clearly I must really like you because I tend to be distant a lot of the time, sorry to people I seem distant with, I don’t know why I do it, it’s probably a psychological thing but thats a story for some other time. 
Todays Munday story is about Pectus Excavatum, don’t worry, i’ll explain it.. and how I considered having the most painful surgery they allow someone under 18 to have.  I’ll put the rest under a cut cus it got long. 
Now to begin with Pectus Excavatum is something I have. To put it simply I have a large dent in my chest where my rib cage goes inwards, there’s also the opposite which I’m glad I don’t have which is called Pectus Concavum. It’s actually quite common, you 100% know someone who has it, Joel Kinnaman is someone who comes to mind as someone who’s talked about having it, however he had this surgery I’m gonna talk about. 
Pectus Excavatum can vary in how prominant it is, on some people it can be tiny and on some others it can be quite large. When I was younger mine was big enough to cause some medical concern and so I had to go to the hospital and have x-rays and tests, for example my lung capacity isn’t as much as it should be because my lungs don’t have enough room to expand fully, it’s not life threatening or dangerous, in fact I can still hold my breath for a long time but thats just one notable thing. 
The main worry was that there is a potential that because I was young, I was till growing and my ribs might have been close to my heart and potentially could have pierced it and well I wouldn’t be here now. 
That instantly made my mom worry like, what if I was in a car accident or I just.. fell wrong, boom, rib through my heart, dead. 
However tests came back, I’m all good, my heart is safe enough but I could still have the surgery, now I was very like.. aware that my chest had a huge fucking dent in it and I hid it pretty well, a lot of people in my life were unaware about it. 
I think a lot of them only started to learn about it when I’d like have Hospital appointments and they’d only really know about them if they wanted to do something on those days or something.. not that it really happened, I was kind of a loner but that’s yet another story for some other time I guess. 
I remember one time I was changing for PE or Gym if you’re an American and normally I hid my chest to a wall as I changed shirts but I guess someone caught a side profile and managed to see it. He was a fucking idiot so his first thought was to ask “Do you have a heart?” Which is the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard but I said “No.” to play it off jokingly then he went “Really!?” and his mate hit him around the back of the head and pointed out obviously I have a heart, everyone found it very funny but I was very self conscious about my chest and although I played it off as a funny moment I did feel like a freak, guess I had my own little X-Men Mutant moment. 
Going to Hospitals and having all these tests obviously had people ask why and whenever my mother was there she’d always be like “Show them” and so I’d sigh and pull my shirt up and let people see my dent, eventually however this lead to me accepting my body more and I don’t know if that was what she was trying to do, knowing her, probably. 
I was still on the fence about the surgery though, It got to the point where we were talking about how I’d have to have time off school and how I’d catch up and how I wouldn’t be able to make my way upstairs properly so I’d probably have to have a bed downstairs. 
At the time I was actually sharing a bunk bed with my younger brother and one night I caught him crying in bed and so I asked what was wrong and he said “I don’t want you to die.” Which was technically a possibility with the surgery, it’s a lot of stuff around the heart area. It’s not a huge risk but there’s always a small one and apparently he’d worked that out and that’s really what pushed me over to not having the surgery. So I still have pectus exacavtum, it’s not as bad looking as when I was younger as the ways to kind of hide it is to get super buff.. which is probably how most of the celebs with it, hide it.. or gain some weight which is what I’ve done, not because of my chest, just because I’m a lazy shit. 
Maybe one day I’ll be comfortable enough to post a picture of it here and really share that body positivity shit, but if there is anything to take away from this, it’s that you don’t know what is going on with people, you don’t know what they’ve been through or are going through or what issues they have. 
Oh I forgot to explain what the surgery actually cosisted of! My bad, I can’t be arsed to read through all I’ve written and find a natural place for it so it’s for you who read all the way to the end to know. Basically, they open your chest up, break your ribs, put in a metal bar what’s kind of curved, they face the curve inwards and then turn it to make the curve point outwards basically forcing the ribs to heal kind of like a normal rib cage. Apparently it’s the most painful surgery they’ll allow someone under 18 to go through and for me it would have just been cosmetic, I wasn’t and still am not in any actual danger of my dent harming me. I also have like very kind of minor marfan syndrome but thats a whole other deal that pectus excavatum is only a part of. 
Idek why I’m sharing this, I’ve just been in my head a lot recently and wanted to share something, get something out there.

Flesh And Bones - part 1
Sam Wilson x Bucky Barnes
Soulmate AU
In a world where people bond with their soulmates through physical pain, living in the same compound makes the search much easier (or it should, if they weren’t so damn stubborn)
TW: self-inflicted injuries
words: 1742
A/N: this is my first time posting a series on the tumblrs but I’ve had the idea for months so here goes nothing
Series Masterlist
Tumblr media
Pain is such human extravaganza.
For your body to react to certain dangers or stimulations that trigger specific nervous patterns, that’s something most living creatures are built with. We are but machines; when you lay your hand over fire and it hurts, your nervous system is alerting the rest of your body of harm and yelling at it to get away from said harm, similar to how old hair dryers would stop functioning when they overheated to prevent explosions.
That, we have a general idea of. Pain is natural and not a construct.
But suffering. Aching from love, or the lack of it… nobody does it better than humans. Super-humans included. Enhanced, hyper-trained, whatever. The pain parade of romance is something so deeply rooted into the dumbest parts of our brains, that that must be the reason behind soulmates.
The point is, it is only logical for such a cruel universe to bond love and pain so tightly.
It’s simple, really. Sometime in the speck of dust of time in which we live, a person will get injured. They’ll bump their toe on a kitchen counter, fall on their butts, cut their finger while chopping vegetables, or maybe get into a chaotic car accident. No matter the damage, when the universe decides that hurt idiot is your hurt idiot, you’ll feel their pain on your own skin. It also didn’t matter if you knew the person or not, only chances were your soulmate was a complete stranger.
At first it comes like a tingle, a small pinch or even the ghost sensation of a scratch. But if your soulmate is nearer than they should without you realizing who they are, the sensation becomes full and the closer they are the more vivid their pain feels on your own skin. It is extremely uncertain, however, if it has to do with spatial proximity, or emotional.
Sam Wilson would eventually sit on the park, after his morning jog, or afternoon jog, and contemplate people. He enjoyed the easiness, the memory of a time before the army, when his life was simple. No PTSD, no Avenging. To be fair, the Avenger life was the cure to the PTSD somehow, for Sam Wilson was a man of action and the more quiet his life was, the more his mind wandered. He loved the agitation, the missions, the feeling of helping people, yet every once in a while, or once a day even, he would simply sit and watch the futility of civilian’s walks around the park.
A woman sat next to him and didn’t offer any sign of kindness. She seemed busy -occupied- in the way that she moved and looked around, which is why he didn’t look at her any longer so she wouldn’t feel uncomfortable. However, he then began getting the feeling that she was keeping an eye on him, and when he glanced at her nervous hands, he noticed the poor woman holding a needle to her skin, poking her own hand a few times.
A desperate soul.
On one side of a binary coin, some people don’t believe in soulmates. They aren’t the easiest to spot, and when a couple like that is seen, there is no proof for a simple skeptical individual that they actually felt each other’s pain. There were studies proving the neuronal effects, and were those hard to execute, but not everyone fell for them. Some argued that it was psychological placebo, that the person forced themselves to feel their lover’s feelings, some accused the studies to be biased or false. Some were old and hadn’t found one so why would they believe soulmates were real? They’re not necessary. You don’t just love the person you’ll want to spend the rest of your life with, and them alone, there’s all kinds of love and affection. Then, well… some were simply bitter, covering up their fear of never finding one for themselves.
On the polar opposite, there were the desperate ones. They would inflict harm on themselves in public spaces, expecting a reaction from the passersby.
More than once had Sam seen a man stab their own leg or cut through their palm yelling ‘can anybody feel this?’ as if they feared this was their only shot, forcing the Falcon to run and make them stop hurting themselves along with other civilians. Some couldn’t wait. And Sam never understood why someone wouldn’t be able to enjoy life if they didn’t know their one and only; It made dating much more relaxed and fun and honest. Perhaps that person would eventually become your soulmate, and even though the probabilities of that happening were slim to none, it didn’t need to ruin every romantic relationship in your life.
Therefore with pain in his chest, he addressed the young woman whose eyes were directly analyzing Sam’s hand.
“Hey, lady?” he asked her, earning a big pair of hopeful eyes to find his; yet he had to give her a sad frown to let her know he wasn’t who she was looking for, thus gaining a mimicking disappointed look, “It’s not worth all this trouble.”
Her expression quickly turned into one of distance, like she was trying to protect herself from people who didn’t understand her. She sat back and allowed a smirk to take over her face as she stared into nothingness.
“You’re one of those people who think it’s all a hoax? A construct?” when obtaining no reply, she kept pressuring the Falcon, “Placebo effect? Self-conditioning?”
Sam didn’t give in. He simply took a big breath and sat up from the bench. When he turned to face her, her eyes weren’t as distant.
“No.” He said calmly, “I think yours will come when it’s time. Until then,” he raised his eyebrows a bit, “you’re just hurting yourself for no reason.”
Sam walked away before he could see the young woman’s lower lip tremble.
-
“I didn’t eat your cereal.” Bucky protested, plopped on the couch that faced a flat screen.
Sam, however, wasn’t buying it. He held his ground, one hand on his hip and the other agitating the skimpy remains inside the carton box, making it rattle.
“It’s empty.” He insisted, in a way that screamed paranoia over being accused of overreacting or being crazy.
Instead of acting in an opposite behavior, he gave Bucky all the more reason to treat him as if he were going insane.
“Well, it wasn’t me.” The soldier replied easily, not flipping through the channels anymore but surrendering to a local news one; after a sigh, he looked at the accusatory, “Maybe Steve did it.”
Sam pursed his lips before turning to Steve with a dead look on his face.
“Steve, did you eat my cereal?” he asked condescendingly, already knowing the answer to be no.
As a matter of fact, the blonde’s shirt had small dark spots where he sweat his morning jog on, his hair was still perfect for a regular person but a bit disheveled for Captain America’s inhuman standards, and he was focused on drinking from a water bottle.
He tilted his head to Sam, who nodded, more agreeing with himself than with Rogers.
“You’re the only one who stays on the couch all morning.” He braked back at Barnes.
He didn’t respond this time, perhaps because he was, once again, being accused of being lazy and not using his time nor his gifts wisely. Perhaps because he was just tired of saying he didn’t eat the cereals in question when he had undoubtedly and decisively eaten the cereals in question.
Paying attention to the random local news he’d landed on, he got the gist of what the reporter was saying. They were presenting a quirky story of a bitter man suing his soulmate. He claimed the only reason he got into a car accident was because he felt a sudden sharp pain in his foot and got distracted, and therefore, was asking for his soulmate to pay off the insurance money. Of course they had to find the soulmate who was allegedly responsible for the crash.
“That’s ridiculous.” Bucky mocked.
Sam sat next to him, already having dropped the subject of the missing cereals. He listened to the reporter interviewing the odd man and let an amused but very quickly evaporated smile.
“People have been pulling stunts like these for ages, you can’t be surprised.”
Barnes glanced at him for a second, then returning to the TV. He still thought it was the stupidest reason to sue he’d ever heard of.
“It’s insane.” He said anyways.
“I think it’s sad.” Sam derailed the commentary on an opposite direction, “Can’t be fun starting your lifelong love story through a lawsuit.”
Steve joined the conversation from behind the couch. “I’m pretty sure it’s just a way of getting their attention. You know, find them whatever it takes. It’s actually kind of romantic.”
Bucky scoffed. He couldn’t stop Steve from being such a hopeless romantic and blindly believe in fairy tales where there was none, but he could still be annoyed by the fact.
“A little convenient, isn’t it?” he raised an eyebrow in judgement, yet not turning around to face the blonde.
“What?” Sam shot defiantly, “You don’t believe in this stuff?”
They both knew he was referring to the soulmates paraphernalia. With his glum attitude and dark observations, Barnes did seem like the kind of people to discard the idea of a soulmate. Love that never changes, souls that bond… it did not sound like James Buchanan Barnes’ cup of tea.
“Not the whole part.” He admitted, “I think there’s a lot of bullshit to it.”
The smirk grew on Wilson’s face, “So you’re one of those wacko conspirationists?”
“What if I am?” Bucky shot back, just to mess with him.
He wasn’t though, or not when it came to soulmates, at least. NASA and the government, on the other hand? The man had seen too much inside Hydra to not believe any crazy theory to be possible. He dropped the subject and became more serious, shrugging a little.
“All I’m saying is there’s lots of rules and conditions, I mean, who makes the calls?” Bucky questioned, almost angry, “Who chooses everyone’s partners? And what if you hate your soulmate?”
“That’s the point.” Steve intervened with his bright optimism, “You won’t. They’re your other half.”
Bucky pursed his lips and picked up the remote to switch channels again.
“Sounds real dumb.”

Having now read/played through the newest story arcs in Crestoria... the Yuna story is by far the worse written one so far.
-Backstory: of all the goddamn plots they could have gone with to explain why she chose journalism and is against Vision orbs it’s because... she condemned a recurring child abuser (who abused her child physically and mentally) and the story tells us she was wrong to do so because... the small abused child who knew nothing else thought she was happy sometimes, so she was okay with the abuse. And so condemning was wrong and the abuser should have been given a chance. Wow that is the dumbest shit I’ve heard. Of course the abused little girl with no other concept of love would think the relationship wasn’t so bad. The “moral” Yuna comes up with sounds likes hey, if the victim isn’t complaining maybe we shouldn’t have stopped the abuser.
Which was bad enough, but then we have the who medical facility arc of prior chapters.
By which I mean, so Yuna decides everyone must be given a chance... yet somehow had no hesitation in dispensing what she believed was justice and help murdering that evil scientist. You can’t say the abuser should have been given a chance then turn around and murder the evil scientist without equal consideration.
Basically, it’s clear Yuna’s morals are reliant on self interest: harming the mom made the friend hurt so she regrets that, but she didn’t personally know anyone that got upset with the evil scientist being killed so that was fine.
And saying you won’t use Vision Orbs but still murder him outright is even worse. “oh yeah can’t trust the masses with his life, but it’s okay if i personally carry it out!”
-And the reason for her Condemnation: even worse writing. While it’s ridiculous to be condemned over so little, so I do agree with the narrative on that, the whole thing from Yuna was stupid and forced.
First of all, we the players only knows her brutal words were not her harassing a person on their death beds because we got told the friend felt this way. The townsfolk did not, as far as they saw some random bitch came on stage and started shitting on a person that wasn’t even capable of defending herself.
And then... Yuna is supposed to be a journalist. But is apparently incapable of understanding audience and how to make a message come across. Literally why not go onstage and say “I feel like my friend would not want this, she loves her crafts and would it not be more honorable to remember her at her best performance instead of this?” or something to that effect. Did she really think people would change their minds because she started insulting the the woman? 
It’s as if she didn’t want to help her friend at all, but instead just cause drama by saying the truth in the most caustic and misleading way possible.
Lying and promising a next performance was equally stupid: if the friend didn’t die/get worse she would have just placed more pressure on the poor woman to go and extend more effort for yet another performance.
Really hard to pity or like Yuna at this point.
I hope the writing improves.

15. Do they believe in getting revenge on those who wrong them? If so, how do they go about it? 23. What’s the most important object they own? 27. What makes a person beautiful to them? 28. If they turned into their crush/significant other for a day, what would they do? 41. What is the dumbest way they’ve ever been injured? 44. Can they cook? What’s their favourite dish to make?
Thank you for the ask!!
15. Do they believe in getting revenge on those who wrong them? If so, how do they go about it?
Musashi doesn’t believe in getting revenge, surprisingly! Forgetting doesn’t come easy to her, but she tries to move past it because turning around and causing harm solves nothing; it just makes it worse.
She just...wishes that someone would listen to her rant about her grievances; she wishes that someone would just understand. If no one does, then eventually she’ll explode and just feel worse about herself because usually, her outburst is turned around to make her look like she’s the one in the wrong. It’s...complicated. (It’s actually part of the reason why she overthinks things!)
If it’s just revenge for a prank, you bet she does! If it’s more serious, then...no, she won’t.
23. What’s the most important object they own?
Musashi thinks it’s embarrassing to say out loud, but for her it isn’t an object; it’s the people she’s come to know and love in her life (pets aren’t exempt from this, either)! The way she sees it, them and the memories she makes along the way help her understand who she is as a person more. Her story is solely unique to herself, and she cherishes those who’ve helped her thus far.
(...You can say that she’s a bit of a romantic)
27. What makes a person beautiful to them?
It’s the little things, really. She loves the way their eyes light up when they get passionate about something. She loves the genuine smiles that form at whatever they’re thinking about. She loves it when they pull her aside and lay their souls bare because it means they trust her enough to feel vulnerable, and she never fails to feel honored. Their happiness, their anger, their sadness, their dreams...all of those combine to make a full person, and she always, always finds them beautiful.
She wants to help them in any way she can (which feeds into her bad habit of trusting someone once they show her some kindness, but there’s more to that).
28. If they turned into their crush/significant other for a day, what would they do?
She would be flustered.
The. Entire. Time. 
She would try to get them in as little trouble as possible while also freaking out because oh wow I did not expect this to happen.
41. What is the dumbest way they’ve ever been injured?
Musashi nearly killed herself on a chair when she was little. She was in the middle of playing tag with her sister when she slipped, and BAM! The ends of it were sharp, and it cut into the left side of her jaw. Any deeper, and she wouldn't be alive today. Even so, her child self was calm about it and even laughed a bit. (She loves telling that story, though, because in hindsight it was funny.)
44. Can they cook? What’s their favorite dish to make?
She can bake better than she can cook, actually! Her favorite thing to bake is brownies, because then she can make her favorite dessert: Hot Fudge Brownie Sundaes!

I feel like writing some thoughts on tma characters so far, as of ep 101
Jon: Is the dumbest smart person. How does one man fit so many bad decisions in himself? It’s good that he wants to protect his team but why does he have to go about it in the most self harmful way possible? He’s still my favorite and I’m so critical because I just want him to make one good choice and then to be happy for five minutes.
Martin: Best boy. Deserves the world. Deserves to be wrapped in a blanket and given hot coco and to never have to see another terrible supernatural creature ever again. Is so naive sometimes and I can’t believe he’s managed to hold onto some scrap of innocence in the year or two we’ve seen of him working as archival assistant. I want him to be happy forever but this is the Magnus Archives so I know that isn’t going to happen.
Sasha: 😭
Tim: The funny men always break the worst. He’s so angry, and I’m afraid he’s going to do something to get himself or everyone hurt.
Elias: I am intrigued by him on principle, I want to know more about him and what he’s up to. He’s kind of a bastard, but very pleased with himself being a bastard. I like chess master villains so thus far I’m very interested to see where things go with him. And precisely what his plans for Jon are.
Melanie: I like her and I worry for her. I worry for everyone in this podcast though. Melanie already had a bad habit of sticking her nose in the wrong place and getting hurt BEFORE she joined the institute. So now she’s basically guaranteed to have something terrible happen...
Basira: I like her a lot. I don’t have much to say about her yet though.
Daisy: I don’t like Daisy. This might change at some point, but as of right now all we’ve seen of her is that she is a violent ex-police officer who is sadistic and likes murdering people and is good at hiding the evidence, and I just can’t find that likable. I do like that Basira is her morality pet. Her ‘one tie to humanity’ as Elias put it. That’s usually what will get me to like a character like her. We’ll see as she shows up more.
Georgie: I adore Georgie and I wish she’d get away from all this before she gets killed or worse. I love her back and forth with Jon and I love that she doesn’t put up with his BS at all. She has a cat which would give her immediate brownie points even if her personality hadn’t already done that for her. She’s tied with Martin for second favorite character.
Gertrude: I can’t decide if I like her or not. She was crafty and clever and clearly knew more about what’s going on and was, I assume, trying to stop it. She was also willing to sacrifice her trusting assistant to stop one of the avatars, without hesitation if Michael was telling the truth—which I’m inclined to think he was since I believe he was being compelled at the time if I recall correctly.
The avatars:
Michael: I liked him until I didn’t like him anymore 😂 He’s so fascinating and disconcerting, and even after learning a bit more about his motives he’s hard to wrap my brain around. But he also threatened Tim and Martin and tried to kill Jon so he’s on my shit list and I’m glad he got replaced.
Jared: Creepy bone stealing meat head man. I don’t have much else to say about him yet.
Mike Crew: I’m kind of sad Mike died, he seemed pretty alright as far as avatars go. I mean he still killed at least a few people, and he threatened Jon, but as far as avatars go he was positively friendly.
Agnes: We haven’t seen much of her first hand, but I’m intrigued by her. It’s interesting that she took the time to be with the guy she ended up burning apart. She felt mournful. I’m curious about her.
Jude: She’s a jerk 😡
I’m sorry I’m biased against characters who hurt Jon considering how many characters have hurt Jon at this point 😂 He’s a bit of an avatar punching bag this season.
Nikola: Nope nope nope nope nope nope. She creeps me out. I don’t like mannequins. Her voice is disconcerting. She wants to wear Jon’s skin like a suit. She is basically laser targeted to bother me.

🍁🍒🍇 for anyone you'd like?? :3
Tumblr media
@heatobrienswife thank you so so much for the ask I really appreciate it!! I’ll do these for Dazai since I didn’t properly write him anything for his bday orz
🍁 - How did your f/o and s/i meet?
I guess I technically wrote about their first encounter here?? Basically, since Nova starts out as a being born of a loophole/previously unexplored aspect of Poe’s ability, she follows him around everywhere and is treated like a servant/lackey. She doesn’t really have any purpose outside of doing whatever Poe (or by extension the Guild) require of her, and they only really keep her around because she’s the only successful being that was created by stretching the bounds of Poe’s ability; any other experiments failed. So, since he visits the Agency to be buddy-rivals with Ranpo a lot, she ends up running into him that way. She’s terrified of him at first because he’s the one person in the world who can kill her with the simple touch of his hand (ability nullification isn’t exactly a Rad Thing to someone who literally...is little more than a sentient ability) but damn if he’s not also unfortunately handsome as hell fhieslfjelfs
🍒 - What are some headcanons you have about your f/o?
OH THIS IS THE PERFECT TIME TO PULL OUT MY BANDAGE HC...back when the B$D anime first came out, there was a lot of speculation as to why Dazai wears his bandages/what’s really under them. To be honest, there still is because we don’t actually know, but I read a theory that his ability has a knock back effect, i.e. every time he nullifies someone’s ability, it takes some kind of physical toll on him. He used to wear more bandages because it took him a while to build up some tolerance to the side effect, but ofc he wouldn’t ever be able to negate the damage completely, so that’s why he still wears bandages at all lol. And to hide the scars from all the previous instances. In canon he flat out says that he wears them because he’s clumsy and hurts himself a lot, which is possible, and some people also think it’s a result of the numerous suicide/self-harm attempts he’s made...we may never know for certain but I just love love LOVE the concept of his ability having some kind of side effect like that it’s just so neat to me ;w;
🍇 - How did you get introduced to your f/o?
Picture the slightly younger but no less enthusiastic about hot anime characters version of me back in 2016 when I first came across a trailer for an anime about authors who have supernatural abilities based on their works that had a bunch of pretty colors and hot anime boys (Studio Bones strikes again)...I lost my entire fucking mind, tore through what existed of the manga at the time prob in the span of like a day, I was chomping at the bit for this fucking show because it was so up my alley...and ofc I immediately fell in love with the dumbest and handsomest asshole who happens to be one of the first characters we encounter...I was just done for from the start lol

hi chloe idk if youll see this but i only have a year left until college and i live in an abusive household. no one understands me and my mom and dad especially don't. my older sister doesnt seem to hold the patience to listen to whenever i do try and call her once annually. i dont know how much longer i can hold on. it literally hurts my mind so much thinking about all of it, especially after abusive episodes from them. im scared to live alone but i just cant wait to
gosh im so sorry to hear that love :( while i’m proud of you for making it this far and for being able to talk about it with me, it’s really awful that you’ve had to deal with it for so long, and that it’s happening to you in the first place. especially during your adolescence, which is a time when we’re all super impressionable. a time when we all feel like nothing is ever going to change. and i can definitely relate to nobody even taking the time to understand you, and to feeling like you’re being overlooked or forgotten. when we experience something like this our brains often to try to make sense of the actions of those around us by turning towards self blame, and internalizing all the negativity + manipulating it into self hatred. but i think its important to remember that you are not responsible for what others do, in this context. how they choose to treat you is not a reflection of you or of what you deserve, alright? your sister’s selfishness is a trait of her own. your parent’s anger is a result of their lack of control and self regulation. none of this is on you. it may be hard to truly believe that in this moment, but nonetheless i think it’s a sentiment you should try to keep close to your heart. it’s not your fault that you have been failed by the people who were supposed to protect you, and it doesn’t mean that any future bonds you form will turn out the same way. it’s normal to want to give up at times, but you must know that there’s a difference between temporarily feeling that way and actually acting on it in a very permanent way. i said this another anon the other day, but i mean it just as much: you have so much waiting for you. and you didn’t survive all of that for nothing. once you’re in college and you have autonomy over your own life, once you get to choose how much time you spend with your parents and how much you let them in - all of the pain and toxic beliefs you’ve built your world view around will begin to slowly dissipate. and that may be a life long process, but it’s supposed to be. you have all of the time in the world to build your own existence and to heal from what’s happened to you. there are so many different tools to utilize, paths to walk down and people to meet who will show you what it’s like to be truly loved. including yourself, the person you will grow into. if you just give yourself the chance. i know it’s not that much comfort in this moment because you still have to deal with your parents and their bullshit, but it’s good to consciously remind yourself of all the good that is out there. when you’re an anxious and hurt person, it’s common to suffer from a sense of impending doom or failure, but the reality of it will be so much more of a calm, gradual process than you realize.
that being said, i’m quite worried that you’re still in this situation and that your parents are just okay with periodically putting you through ‘episodes’. it’s NOT okay. and you have every right to process hurt, anger, bitterness, sadness, numbness because of it. while it may be painful, there is no shame in crying or in feeling whatever you need to feel. it’s a normal human response to such emotional turmoil, so try to go easy on yourself honey. you’re doing what you can with what you’ve been given. however, it’s important to understand that the presence of these negative emotions is never an excuse to harm yourself or worse. i understand that it’s extremely overwhelming, and that it may sometimes feel beyond your control. but even just attempting to put some positive coping mechanisms in place may make all the difference, even if they don’t work every single time. this can be anything from creating a safe space for yourself (in your room, or could be somewhere outside like the park or a library) to researching breathing techniques and self affirmations, to journaling or venting to your friends, to meditation to finding a comfort hobby/show to simply lying in bed and sobbing the feelings out and then going to sleep, maybe practicing some self care. every small effort counts, even if it feels like the dumbest thing in the world. if you keep it up on a semi consistent basis, you will notice a shift eventually. it’s possible to hurt and grow at the same time. i also think it could be a good idea to consider reaching out to someone about this - perhaps a school counselor, or a mental health hotline, or a support group in your area. maybe make an appointment with your doctor to see if they can recommend any resources, if possible? whatever works for you. i just really think it’s important that you understand on a very fundamental level that you have every right to talk about what’s going on, and that there are so many ppl out there who understand. who have even been through the same thing, and survived after it and thrived. i know this is one of those suggestions that feels very scary and like you just can’t do it, but if there’s any service available to you i’d really recommend utilizing it, or at least not ignoring the option all together. having someone you can be honest with and who can enable you to develop some self esteem, plus some added perspective so you don’t feel as ‘trapped’, will really make it all feel a little less heavy. consistent therapy/counseling will show you how to unlearn all of the mental habits you’ve developed over the years due to the treatment you’ve endured, and you deserve that relief. i get that it all feels like a lot of effort, and i’m not saying that doing this stuff is a quick fix. i’m saying that you have a life and an existence that is worth investing in, that is worth caring about. you are worth the world, FUCK your parents for making you question that due to their own mental and emotional issues. regardless of your past, you’re here and you deserve better. you will find better. you’re so much closer to getting ‘out’ than you realize. while it’s normal to be scared of living alone, humans adapt quite quickly. and you wont be alone in the way that you imagine, you’ll simply have agency over your own choices. like i said before, there are so many ppl who are going to show you what it’s like to truly treasured, who you haven’t even met yet. it’s just a matter of treating yourself softly, the way you’d treat a friend going through a hard time, until you get to that point. and also a matter of knowing your parents are full of shit. but anyway, this got far too long. i just have a lot to say, i hate how adults choose to have babies and then do this to them.....if you want to talk about it properly, or if you need a friend or anything. please feel free to send me a message. i’ll be here, and i believe in you !! one day at a time 💌
