My sister has been showing me episodes of OG Trigun--mostly in preparation for Trigun Stampede--but also because it's one of her favorite manga of all time.

And holy SHIT I cannot even begin to explain how fucking batshit this show is. Just hearing Johnny Yong Bosch's voice alone immediately sent me back at least fifteen years.

I have watched all episodes of OG Trigun while drunk, high and sober. And regardless of my state of inebreiation, I was always left with the exact, inescapable feeling of wanting to fucking die from the sheer nostalgic cringe and insanity of it all. I hate this show. I love this show. I'm fucking obsessed.

So, to all those who are curious (or would just like a mini idea of how to compare OG Trigun with Trigun Stampede)--here is my comprehensive list of things that ACTUALLY happened in Trigun that make me go absolutely batshit just thinking about them:

The sheer insanity of the--balls to the walls, barely held together with ducktape, spit and shoestring--of a plot, all with apparently little to no accuracy to the manga whatsoever. This both amuses and horrifies my sister.

The absolute refusal on the part of the anime to actually explain literally anything. Like the fact that the show takes place in space. Or why humanity is on a desert planet. Or what Plants are, why they're important, why they're there, literally ANYTHING.

Seriously, if you've only ever watched the anime you would have no fucking clue what the Plants are or what they even do. And THEY'RE LITERALLY ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT BITS OF LORE/A HUGE PART OF THE PLOT OF THE ENTIRE FUCKING MANGA.

A major bit of Trigun's lore/setting is just straight up the events of Wall-E.

Johnny Yong fucking Bosch as Vash's English VA. Enough said.

Vash--by simply existing and (mostly) through no direct fault of his own--is capable of wrecking such sheer and complete utter devastation that there's an actual insurance policy people can file after their town is destroyed in the aftermath of him visiting. Iconic.

Monev is just Spiderman's Venom but with a purple and orange reskin. This was intentional on part of the creator as he is obsessed with Venom. Good on him.

This is only specific to the English Dub (we switched to the original sub for the more "serious" episodes, calm down), but HOLY FUCK the absolutely atrocious line deliveries somehow make the show even worse and yet ultimately so much funnier all at the same time!

Millions Knives is the name of Vash's twin brother.

Vash is bisexual. There are multiple occassions where he will call a random male character "Cute" or "Cutie." Somehow, I am not the least bit surprised.

Christianity exists. And the Church trains orphans to be assassins. This makes perfect sense.

"LUUV AND PEEEEAAACCCCCEEE!!!!"

In the second episode of the series (English Dub), there's an actual scene where an old man and his grandson LOUDLY lament the absolute devastation of their home in the most inappropriately cheerful and candid way possible. And then the fucking kid follows that up by just singing out of fucking nowhere "~Bad times are here LALALALALA!!!!!~"

Vash is part gun.

According to "company regulations," as insurance workers Milly and Meryl are not allowed to take part time jobs. They later take part time jobs. My broke ass resonated too fucking hard with this bit.

"Oh, maaaan! Why can't I just get a break?! Death and poverty like me so much, they've brought friends!" Fucking. Mood.

At one point, Vash does the crab walk to dodge a barrage of bullets. This is, surprisingly, quite effective.

"I'll whack you, mister!"

Legato's introduction is him sitting down on a bench and then PULLING A HOT DOG OUT OF A PAPER BAG WITH A HUMAN HEAD IN IT!!!!

Legato has his own personal saxophone player that just follows him everywhere???????

"Oh my. I'm about to go down in ~fllaaaaaammeesssss!~"

Wolfwood.

In EP 16, someone just starts randomly scatting in the background for no reason. No explanation is ever offered.

"My name is .... VASH DA STAMPEDE-DUUUH!!!!!"

Also in EP 16, one of the villains for that episode sounds, deadass, exactly like Jar Jar Binks. I am not joking.

Legato can blood bend.

There's a mini episode dedicated to Milly and Meryl. Vash shows up for five seconds hiding in a trash can. The joke writes itself.

"The DEADLY DODGEBALL HEAD!!! A simple technique to hold the ball in place with INTENSE SUUUCTION!! Try this at home! ;)"

Knives eats an apple, cuts his own hair and enters his impromptu emo arc.

Legato gets horny over the idea of Vash crying. Idk what to tell you, man.

Wolfwood shoots a child. Granted, said child was gonna try to kill Vash and a bunch of orphans. But still.

Vash makes up a dark song about murdering and killing people. The villains of that episode proceed to roast him for his shit lyrics.

Wolfwood doesn't understand why everyone is mad at him for KILLING A CHILD.

"I meditate diligently every morning. The subjects are life and love ... I quit after three seconds."

The actually downright amazing OST, that has no right to be as good as it is. No joke, one of the best anime OSTs I have ever heard in my life.

"And if you're still having doubts, check out my 100% accurate gunmanship!" *proceeds to shoot directly at the sky only then for a black cat to fall directly on his head. The cat's fine btw*

At a certain point, Vash fakes his identity, gets a disguise and goes under a false name. Said false name being "Eriks." He looks like if someone ran Hohenheim through the washer and then hung him on a clothesline for a week. I have ... no fucking words.

"What is this strange phenomena? Is it some sort of strange and twisted Christian science!?"

For as menacing as they make Legato out to be, he sure does shit all in the grand scheme of things. Also he looks like he raids Seto Kaiba's closet on the DL and duels monsters on weekends.

Vash will randomly have Bishie eyes. Arguably, his most Bishie moment is right after Wolfwood punches him in the face. I'll let you infer what you want from this.

Rem randomly appears out of nowhere to taunt Vash with nonsense riddles and haikus. No explanation is ever given until EP 17 for who Rem is, why she keeps reappearing in Vash's mind, if she's even a real person or just someone Vash made up, etc. Because of this, it just looks like Vash keeps receiving American Beauty-style rose shower psychic attacks while a random woman just spouts absolute nonsense at him. There is no way this explanation will prepare you for the actual experience of watching it.

"I am known as Valentinez Alkalinella Xifax Sicidabohertz-" *prolonged pause* "-Gombigobilla Blue Stradivari Talentrent Pierre Andri Charton-Haymoss Ivanovici Baldeus George Doitzel Kaiser the Third. Don't hestitate to call."

Vash gets adopted by an old woman and her granddaughter. It's actually kind of sweet.

A minor villain in EP 18 demands that Vash strip and then act like a dog. He proceeds to do both without a single objection. Wolfwood pulls down his sunglasses and leers at Vash's naked ass. My sister has informed me that this is actually canonical.

Rem is a hyper Christian.

Wolfwood takes personal offense to a burlesque dancer being absolute shit at dancing. Honestly ... I can't even argue with him.

"Hey, 'Thou Shalt Not Kill,' REMEMBER!? WHAT KIND OF CHURCH MAN ARE YOU!!!?"

Vash saves a town's Plant through the power of Bishie.

While trying to save a child, Vash and Wolfwood both get sucked into quicksand. Said child just watches them go into the ground. I would have done the same.

Milly, Vash and Wolfwood decide to share drinks and before any of them even take a single shot, Milly decides to strip naked. Vash and Wolfwood are very pleased by this. Meryl is not.

"WHOSE idea was it to USE THE GRENADE!!!?? He can't be identified for the reward if he's a pile of pulp, YOU DUMBASS!!!!"

Wolfwood calls Vash pathetic. This kickstarts yet another existential crisis within Vash.

"Thank GOD you asked! It's a long story, although it's kind of a short one."

For literally no reason at all, child Knives decides to embrace his Anti-Christ symbolism and goes full Joker mode. This is not at all accurate to the manga.

Vash and Knives are aliens/Plants. Rem thinks they're actual Christian angels. Deadass.

Milly forces Wolfwood to pretend to be her baby daddy for a whole episode. For pudding. Yup.

Vash enters a dom/sub relationship with a Pokemon gym leader looking lady and they engage in extremely explicit pet play.

Anyway, watch OG Trigun. If you've ever watched any sort of anime abridged series, it will definitely make things a little easier for you. There are definitely too many points at which this show feels like a YouTube Poop and I mean in that best and worst possible way.

Also Meryl is Best Girl. I will not budge on this.

Headcannons I have for the 2012 TMNT brothers

Warnings: none

Some of these things might contradict some small things in the plot, I've been rewatching as much as I can of this show and some of my knowledge of the show also comes from when I was younger and watched the show

Tags: Tiny bits of Angst, Fluff, Brotherly Bonding, No Beta-we die like Master Splinter,

Leonardo

He only drinks water and tea, man's never had any soda or anything in his life, claims it's "unhealthy" and "would ruin his physice"

He doesn't take many breaks, so his brothers have to either convince him or force him to rest or relax, he always protests but he's grateful for his brothers

He only listens to traditional Japanese music or Rock music, no in-between

Can't get through the day without making atleast one Space Hero's reference (can't remember the name of the show)

Feels guilty about every unsuccessful mission, even if it's not his fault

He has a tendency of waking up in the middle of the night to check on his brothers, with all the nightmares and guys they have to fight, he gets concerned about what may happen, so he checks on them alot

Dude feels like absolute SHIT when he gets yelled at by shredder, wether it be his own fault or the team's fault, he just feels like he should have been better and he sulks in his room everytime

Sometimes he likes to listen to Donnie, sometimes he understands what he's talking about (if Donnie dumbs it down a bit), he does like to hear about what new things he's made to benefit the team

Every so often, he likes to help Mikey plan a prank on Ralph just for the hell of it, and it's even funnier because Mikey always gets the blame

Sometimes when he sleeps, he likes to be in his shell, there isn't any reason, he just feels safe in there

Most of his brothers are pretty good at speaking Japanese, he is pretty much fluent in it

He knows sign language, he got bored one day and decided to learn it, he tells himself that if there is anyone with a hearing or speaking disability or anything like that, that he'll be ready and prepared to help them

He always thinks of others before himself, even if it costs him

He has a bunch of quotes taped up on his walls, some are kinda cringe, but some are actually pretty dang good quotes

One song he related to alot is "No Pressure" from Encanto, you'll never guess why

Raphael

He gets nightmares alot more than his brothers, only Leo and Master Splinter know about it

He tried to get into Leo's Space Hero's show, but he got to annoyed at the nervous side character and gave up trying

He made Spike a little skull helmet out of cardboard once to "protect him" (even tho he has a shell) but once Mikey discovered it, he accidentally broke it, Raph has never let him live it down

He's got undiagnosed Bipolar disorder, this often makes him feel so confused about his emotions and he often hates how he's feeling because he doesn't understand why he's feeling that way

As much as he didn't trust Leatheface, he related to him alot, having an anger you can't control

Raph has had many nightmares of his anger getting in the way of him protecting his brothers and it scares him all the time, Master Splinter often has to comfort him and remind him that if he was fully in control of himself, he wouldn't hurt his brothers, angry or not

He wishes he could get a tattoo, but he knows that it would get him an ass whooping, still, if he were allowed to, he would have gotten one of him and Spike on a motorcycle on fire with sunglasses or something

Raph has shitty eyesight, it's one of the reasons he's always squinting (plus the fact he's mostly angry) but he can never find actual glasses with the right prescription in any sewer, or any glasses for that matter, Splinter knows all about this and has trained him extra to help him with this disadvantage

Sometimes he feels bad for hitting Mikey, but only when he realizes that he's hurt him more then he thought, this often leads him to making it up to him in small ways, like, watching him do something dumb, or trying some of his horrible food, he rarely apologizes, so this is his way of apologizing without saying it aloud

Has a problem with misplacing his sais (his weapons) and this often leads him to basically tearing the house apart to look for them...only for Master Splinter to show him where there are (and they were right Infront of him the whole time)

He's super insecure about the fact he's the second shortest turtle, but he won't tell his brothers or else he knows they will make fun of him, but his brothers already know he's insecure about that, they just don't want to get their ass whooped by Ralph

His brothers like to joke that he never had a rebellious phase, but that he was born a rebellious phase

His favorite color isn't actually red, it's actually silver, but his second favorite color is red, he knew he wouldn't be able to get a silver bandana, so he just went with red

Donatello

He hates the nickname "Don" it kinda sounds weird to him and when his brothers call him that, he cringes on the inside

He's got Undiagnosed OCD, he constantly does little things (like flickering the lights up and down, or tapping on things a certain amount of time, washing his hands a bunch, ect ect) because it makes his mind feel at ease

Because of his OCD, he has alot of intrusive thoughts about dangers that might come to him and his family, which also brings him many nightmares, which is another reason he does alot of the little "rituals" as his brothers like to call them

Dude is VERY superstitious, tends to avoid going under ladders, using an umbrella indoors, and other things, he knows it's silly, but his mind feels alot better when he avoids these things

He likes to read human biology books because he's so fascinated by the human body and how it works

He got his tooth gap when he was first practicing the bo staff, he was trying to make it spin really fast, and it hit him straight in the face, right where he got his first grown up tooth, poor guy

He's the most flexible of the turtles, the others don't know this cause he doesn't like to show off

He strangely enjoys yoga, when he doesn't have any ideas of what to make, he'll do a couple poses with some calm music before he comes up with an idea

This man felt like he went to HEAVEN when he figured out about caffeine, it's really hard to get your hands on coffee when you live in the sewers, but he tries to find ways of getting some, or some kind of energy drink

He needs the caffeine, especially with how late he stays up, Master Splinter has said it's bad for him before, but he doesn't listen

He's terrified of being picked up by his face again, so he made a helmet specifically for his face....it broke within the first seconds of having it and his face got picked up and shaken like a rag doll again...

Michaelangelo

Undiagnosed ADHD

Due to his undiagnosed ADHD, people think he's dumb, but he can be pretty clever when he wants to

He has little freckles every where, and sometimes he likes to play connect the dots with them

He may seem dumb, but he's actually amazing at math, he doesn't see it as a problem and solution, he sees math as a pattern or a puzzle

He likes to put stickers on his shells sometimes when he finds stickers

When he tried some of Donnie's coffee, everyone thought he was gonna explode or be over hyper (even tho he's already over hyper), and they all tried to quarantine him away from them so he wouldn't break anything, but they were all super shocked to see that he mellowed out due to his Undiagnosed ADHD

Some of his stims include: swinging his nun-chucks in circles, rocking back and forth on the balls of his feet, tapping in rhythms, making strange sounds or repeating small phrases, bouncing up and down, waving his arms all around, ect ect

He feels like he's the black sheep of the family since they all think differently than him, but alot of times, he tells himself it's cause he's so superior that they all can't catch up with him

Very confident and enthusiastic

He doesn't like tea, and calls it "dirty leaf water"

He uses his bandana like a napkin sometimes, so it has random stains in it that he can't get out

He's got dimples

He's very touch starved, he's so used to people bonking him on the head, that when he receives positive affection, he gets really happy

Whenever he gets overstimulated, he hides in his shell, his brothers think he's being lazy and sleeping, but sometimes Donnie or Master Splinter will bring him water or food, they don't understand why Mikey does this, but they do care for him and want to help

He absolutely hates the winter, it's to icy for skateboarding and he slips all the time

One of his dreams is to finally surf, but since he's a turtle, he can't, but he can have dreams

He's an amazing dancer and can dance to anything, he could even bust a move to Beethoven or the Nutcracker if he wanted to

He loves graffiti, sometimes when he finds old spray paint cans with some paint in them, he makes the most of them and uses it to make some of the coolest art you've ever seen

He unironically calls everyone 'bro' or 'dude' regardless of gender or species

He could talk all day about the ideas he has, they aren't very good ideas, but they're ideas

He doesn't know his lefts from his rights and often has to do the holding up the fingers thing, worst part of it is, sometimes he forgets which way an L is

He has terrible short term memory, but absolutely amazing long term memory, he can't tell you what he ate 2 seconds ago, but he can dang well tell you one of the storys Master Splinter read to him when he was super young

King of memes, constantly has a 'Boufa', 'updog', 'deez', or 'sugontheez' joke ready

He mumbles in his sleep and it's the funniest thing ever, he says just random shit, sometimes he doesn't even say coherent sentences

Once made a "that's what she said" joke, but he doesn't understand what it means and he said it at a time when it didn't make any sense

All of Them

They all have little tails

They are all box turtles without the markings

They all need therapy

They all need a hug

They all can and do go into their shells

They have all broken atleast 2 bones or more in their body

They all were homeschooled by Master Splinter

I hope you enjoyed this! 👾💜

10 (Mostly) Spoiler-Free Reasons to Watch Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon 2003 Live Action

A countdown to the 20th anniversary of Act 1 air date!

Reason 2: The humour!

The live-action series is great that it doesn't take itself TOO seriously. Almost all if not all episodes have some comedic moments, finding a balance of seriousness and moments of relief. After all, life goes on even in the midst of crisis!

Everyone can be funny!

Throughout the series, each character has its comedic moments, some overt and others subtle, but the opportunity gets passed around. Not one character is the sole comedic relief person, even if some characters are naturally funnier than others.

I very much appreciate the types of humour the show brings, as when each character has their own comedic moment, it's done by capitalizing on the awkward side of their personalities, or the role they may play in certain dynamics. It's important for me to emphasize this because no one gets disrespected or dumbed down for the sake of humour! It makes the comedic moment not only believable, even if sometimes cartoonish, but more importantly, it's not forced or cringe.

The editing!

The post-production crew did a phenomenal job with the background music transitions, sound effects and visual effects to optimize the delivery! I think PGSM humour gets to me so much because as a video editor, the timing or certain SFX or VFX transition is just spot on, multiplying the effects of the comedy.

Here's a small selection of such comedic moments. These are all more overt, so it didn't require too much context building (or subtitling), and most are early series, as I had to be very picky to make sure it's spoiler-free.

The last one in the clip is my favourite one by far. Unlike Ami-chan in the manga or anime, Ami-chan in the live-action series, while still smart with a high IQ, isn't actually the brain-cell holder in the team dynamic. lol

While most of the clips I shared show Usagi being the butt of the joke or the ones creating humour, it's EXTREMELY important for me to note that Usagi ISN'T actually written as "dumb" or "stupid" in the series. This re-emphasizes my earlier point. Usagi in PGSM is written to be good to a fault, naive, innocent, immature, naturally overreactive (thus awkward) and sometimes slow to the uptake, but never stupid. Her grades are not great because she's lazy and leaves things to the last minute, not because she's "dumb". When it comes to Senshi business, while Usagi may act according to her heart and not necessarily with facts, she does arrive at the correct conclusion and puts clues together well on her own. Even if mistakes were made, they were actually reasonable mistakes. That's what I love about PGSM's writing, the screenwriter really gets the characters and doesn't disrespect or devalue them for ANY reason!

You can watch the subbed versions of the series at:

Miss Dream Fansubs

Sea of Serenity Fansubs

The series is also on other online streaming sites, but be cautious to only visit them with good adware and firewall installed.

9 days till the 20th anniversary of Act 1 air date!

Part 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10

Austin has a thing for George and used to be super obvious about it. He has said before how George is 100% his type (he's mostly a top who likes twinky guys like timothee chalamet), watched TV shows with him and been flirty on twitter and on stream, got over excited when he misread a msg from George (I believe he said he hoped George wasn't joking because he was gonna get hard before George told him to reread it and he was like 'oh :(' about whatever it was ).

Also he was flirting so hard with George when he visited him in London, Hasan who was streaming himself watching was visibly cringing at him. He also paid for all their meals out in London and when he mentioned it and George was just like sure you offered to (because he's George so of course people would want to buy him things). Then after he got back to America he talked about how sometimes you think things are going well with someone and then nothing happens and it's a bit ??? but ultimately its ok and you shouldn't beat yourself up about it (this might have nothing to do with George it's just the timing of him talking about it was funny).

Anyways this all makes that tweet more amusing.

ok this backstory makes it 200% funnier whether dream was joking or not lmfao posessive dream is my favorite

would you tell me about your wips 👀 if i looked at you like this 👀 until you told me 👀

OKAY!! finally had time and energy to do this i'm sorry 😭

okay so. most of these are like. darna/darlentina/reginarda and a few odd ones (surprisingly, almost all this is filipino. huh.) but anyway.

let's get the darna/darlentina/reginarda wips out first!!

5+1 things darlentina or five times narda saves regina and one time she doesn't.

this is my baby. the very first fic i've written for this fandom and it's very very special to me lsdkjfsld. i add to it little little by little every once in a while but i dont think it's nowhere near finished (sorry!!) it's basically a rewrite of the whole show so, you know, it's going to be a big one lmfaooo. i'm going to take what i want from canon and throw the rest in the trash. still deciding if i want it chapter by chapter or just one big oneshot thing. hm.

fake dating au

yeah fake dating. although not in the way you'd expect. regina thinks narda and darna are dating. so to keep regina off her back and from finding out she's both, narda thought it'd be a great idea to throw off regina by letting her think she's dating the superhero. this was funnier in my head. this one's a very recent wip, had the thought while in the middle of class one day lmfao

woman of her dreams (yeah no im not good with this)

okay so. basically regina keeps dreaming about this girl since like. she was a child. up until adulthood she keeps dreaming about her. she never has a name, only vague flashes of her facial features, her hands, her smile etc. semi-canon. narda is still half alien, but they dont meet the same. until they do meet and regina's so shocked she falls off the balcony.

gala smut

basically what the title says lkdjflfdfg. i remember working on this when the first few weeks the show was airing and like i was running on pure emotion that time. what a time indeed. well anyway. they fuck in a bathroom. so yea.

a scene rewrite

there was just this really really annoying scene in the show that i just. had to fix ya know? like. girl. she would not say that. so yeah.

friends with benefits au

was once again driven by pure emotion with this. bc like. that would be so so good. it'd be so angsty and like. i haven't really read anything like it in the fandom before so!!

regina almost dies

yeah so if you haven't seen the show regina dies (but only briefly) and like. i wanted to fix that because of how stupid they set it up like. GIRL. she was too far from that tree to pierce her oh my god???

ALRIGHT. i think i'm done with the reginarda wips. on to some other ones i have :D

i'm just going to list some of them off since i don't really remember where i wanted them to go lmfao.

chapter two of my lilanette fwb

lilanette childhood friends au

lilanette secretly friends au

a barbie oneshot

needifer x mean girls au

okay. with this one, my sister and i suddenly had a brain fart thinking what if jennifer survived and needy moved to chicago or something and attended northshore. fucking insane i know. it was supposed to be a collab thing but my sister didn't really want to anymore so i'm mostly the one working on it.

rookie exes au

okay so. rookie is a filipino movie about the new kid who doesn't play volleyball (she only plays basketball), joins the volleyball team, and falls in love with the team captain. the captain dislikes her at first but, you know, her swagless looks and cringe fail autistic personality eventually captivates her. you know, basic shit.

it's a very... feel good movie i would say. it didn't really resonate with me as much as i was hoping it would but, it's a good watch, i think.

i wanted to imagine them not too far into the future but they're not together. (though, the movie leaves us with an ambiguous ending regarding their relationship, first off) i just love exes aus. ough. oh yeah it's sapphic.

this is entirely too long omfg. i doubt it'll be an interest to anyone but maybe a couple of people but!!! yeah i kind of wanted to share this too. kinda.

#asks #emily-prentits #SORRY ABOUT THIS JO LMFAO

He's From Mars - By Chen Guojian (4/10)

I tried to find a decent Chinese manhwa. I wanted to spice things up, and this is a comedy. I thought it would be mostly harmless fun. It's about an alien prince who is obsessed with finding his one true love. His species can only fall in love once, so he's naturally possessive. There's the seed of a good idea in here, but this comic is so badly written. It's a magnificent, colorful, stupid mess. It's hard to follow the plot. Even if you try it's nearly impossible to comprehend.

Maman is the most boring character I have ever seen. She's an ultra skinny lolita girl with no personality. Her hobby is eating junk food (and being rude to her parents). She likes gaming, she's lazy and she's unlikeable. Sometimes her scenes are funny, but only in an awkward kind of way. I hate Maman so much it is unreal.

She doesn't care about the alien takeover. The invasion is already done. Humanity lost and Maman doesn't care. The violent war is presented very comically, but her reaction is still annoying. Like...her parents start crying about how they don't regret their life together and she cringes because they're "embarrassing". Girl. There are alien ships outside your window.

Prince Cathieu isn't that bad. He comes from a warrior race that conquers planets, but he's also a young man that wants a sweet romance. He proposes to Maman as soon as he sees her in the crowd.

His race has some insect like traits. He has to use a translator to speak to her. His brothers are supportive, because nothing can stop Cathieu. Now that he has found his destined partner it's over. He's stuck with the most boring girl ever forever.

The guy freaks out whenever she says or does anything. He's a very sweet kind of yandere. Maman can do no wrong. She's the cutest. He feels like she's his best friend, even though they're virtual strangers. Maman doesn't feel the same way, but she's not upset. She says yes and marries him...then she literally doesn't do anything. She brings a bunch of potato chips with her and she naps in his space ship. Maman doesn't give a single shit about space or politics.

Prince Cathieu wants romance. He wants hold holding and dates and love poems. His father never found a destined partner. He was born for political reasons. He is so excited to start a happy family. His grandfathers love story is his inspiration, and it's the funniest thing in this series. His grandfather married a giant praying mantis queen after she chopped off his arm. That's the kind of romance I want to see. I would rather read more about that.

Ok so the second funniest thing happens right after the marriage. Cathieu lets Maman play with a lightsaber, and she accidentally cuts herself in half. The kingdom assumes that she wanted to commit suicide, because this is a forced marriage. Maman and Cathieu do not feel the same way. He knows he likes her more than she likes him. When she cuts herself he assumes she doesn't want to marry him. He sits in a corner near her bed, and tries to think of ways to make her love him. Then, Maman wakes up and tells him it was just an accident. She doesn't know how to use a lightsaber, and humans are fragile.

Cathieu is overjoyed. That is literally all he needs. She just has to not hate him...and also they have to have kids.

Maman doesn't give a fuck. She's more interested in groping her alien squirrel maid. The maid thinks Maman is unbearable and rude by the way. Maman is a loser. She was a shut in on earth, and all of the aliens that aren't Cathieu just think she's okay. Nobody can stop Cathieu. His alien biology has already chosen Maman, but nobody really likes her. it's hilarious. I don't think the author is doing this on purpose and that makes it even funnier.

Maman gets bored and Cathieu throws gifts at her. The alien prince is an actual alien, which is cool. He came down to enslave her planet. He doesn't actually know anything about humans. All of his tender love just feels like harassment. It is funny but the writing is awful. It's funny like a bad joke, not a comedy.

I will not read any more of this. Cathieu's father, Soron, also falls in love with her. Maman is clearly a child. I closed my tab so quick. Nope.

Some good yandere building blocks are here. A yandere bug prince sounds awesome, but nothing else is good. Also the dad thing is nope.

I too am cn dub truther, I play gi and hsr on cn, I'm chinese. I definitely prefer cn owl, ana and raven. I think their cn voices match their characters (that i made up mostly) more.

My backstories for ana and owl are kinda edgy and incredibly elaborate, especially owl's. So it's kinda embarrassing to talk about them.

I'll start off with some of my less unhinged hcs.

Ana's mother is cecilia's younger sister. Which makes her kiana's cousin.

Owl loves horror movies. He's also a massive gaming nerd, he's really good at it too. Ana also loves video games and has a natural talent for it.

Owl would never admit it out right, but he thinks of raven as a friend of sort. He knows about raven's probably dead brother and has told raven about his probably dead sister. But they never bring it up again.

This is less a hc and more me choosing to ignore canon. But I think that ana and owl should have been allowed to talk to each other. So I will just say that after manila, they didn't meet face to face until the coral arc. But they did kept in contact with one another, mostly cuz ana felt guilty but she still genuinely enjoys owl's company.

Also I think that both of them are kinda pathetic wet cats with tons of repression. On top of being a qpr, t4t, they are also girlfailure x boyloser.

A FELLOW CN DUB TRUTHER,,,,,and also a gi hsr player??????? i used to pray for times like this,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,when i found out childe(another character i like) and owl have the same va i lost my shit then when hsr leaked my friend messaged me to tell me that dh and owl sound the same 😭😭😭

ana and kiana being cousins!!!! so true funnier when their names rhyme w each other. I do not know if its ever mentioned in game but in honkai wiki it says kianas like 20? which means shes like 2 years older than ana so it would be cute if ana was named after kiana

the way that “did you know flareon is the only fire type pokemon that cannot use solar beam?” meme has been living in my head constantly for owl @ ana 😭😭 esp when that year was 2015 so gen 7 wasnt out yet but in 2017 gen 7 came out and flareon is now no longer the only fire type pokemon that cannot use solar beam!!

owl is a major gaming nerd so true!!!!i think owl and ana would play those 2 player fps games at the arcade. (cringe coincidence story is how i hc owl as a filipino and im a big mlbb esports fan esp to this one team and had a whole crack ws officer mlbb au and then last yr that esports team had a new rookie whose ign is owl)

OUGHHHH RAVEN AND OWL BEING SOMEWHAT FRIENDS,,,,,,,,,,i wish there was more screentime between them because i think their relationship is so interesting,,,,,,,,,like theres so many interesting commonality between them to explore,,,,,the whole probably dead sibling thing,,,,,,,(esp in er when its implied that owl met sakura,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,mhy u make the flamechaser w a dead little sister meet the ws officer w a dead little sister and not elaborate???????????(granted idt sakura knew her sister was dead at that point in time(probably???))) and the whole implication that owl and raven do talk outside missions with the whole “that S rank valk again?”,,,,,ik raven complains about rita to owl every time they meet,,,,,

ignoring canon is my hobby when it comes to ana and owl i havent rewatched chap 19 in a year and i like to think it doesnt exist other than rimestar because i think rimestar is cool (also actually really salty they couldve made a HoStars owl design!!!!!! ok cowards!!!(ik its too much effort for a side character)) you are so right ana and owl should be allowed to talk to each other more!!!!! imo i think they talked more when owl was at the hospital or smth because the dude was like buried under a building and ana only left after he was discharged or smth. but also them keeping in contact 🥺🥺 bet they had cute contact names for each other

you are soooo right ana and owl are a girl failure and boy loser ship!!! ana is the sole survivor of her squad twice and then the second time kills her squad and others (unintentionally) and owl is unable to protect the ppl he cares about twice and has to watch them die!!!! they are terrible at their roles and even worse at communicating mhy when will they be happy (they are not present in the da capo scene with everybody alive and happy)

#actually you know what im feeling insane about raven and owl having probably dead siblings rn #yk when raven tells mei she thought she saw her brother and didnt run after him………yeah……yeah…………..#i think if that happened to owl he woukd run after tianwen….#because i think. extremelt delusional moment but i think raven and owl r two sides of the same coin #and i think its so interesting!!!!!!!!#i want them to be friends so bad!!!!!!#i dont think they would ever be vulnerable and talk abt their backstories much so there would be no way they woukd b that close in canon…..#in my head if owl survived and knew abt the roost raven and owl would b friends #because its like a mei raven situstion where they both know things the each other cares abt and the only way #to not put that thing they care abt in danger is to be friends!!#unrelated another thing im insane about is the fact that owl met aponia in er and FOUGHT HER #fuck mhy for putting that in er my god i have it screenshotted and it never leaves my brain #i became a changed person the moment i read aponias boss desc #asks #cori-randomstuff

since reading dyk for the first time i have since had my first baby by c section. and going back to read it after was crazy hahaha. i've read worse in fic though 😆

oh i missed this

i actually put very little thought into how i would portray that scene lmao. partly because i didn't really know at the time, but i think mostly i was just being lazy. somebody had insisted to me that people would notice and think it was odd if i just skipped over it. so i just slapped together something i knew would be inaccurate but would basically meet the requirements that person had set for me lmao. i just threw him into the back of a vet's office to treat him like a dog having puppies or something lmao. maybe i thought it would be funnier that way.

by second kid though i was like, "and so, it was time to have the kid. so he did that. the next day, he etc" or something lmao

hope it wasn't too cringe for you! and congrats on the reproduction

Hi, it's dontwarnthetadpoles. I'm not sure if you're still doing the ask game about ships but if you still want to (no pressure), i'd really like to read your opinion on Willow and Oz and Buffy and Riley. Thanks.

Hi, thank you for asking! :)) I had stuff to take care of before I felt I could devote time to this, but I've been looking forward to it!

Willow/Oz: ship it

What made you ship it?

Well, they're really cute and sweet! Oz is great boyfriend material, and Willow is often relatable, which is a good combination for that sort of thing.

What are your favorite things about the ship?

Oz is so good at setting boundaries it's a joy to watch (perhaps it's weird of me, but I especially love all the scenes where Oz tells Willow he's not ready for something -- kissing, sex, or getting back together after Willow cheated). He's surprisingly great at articulating how he feels and what bothers him, sometimes (given how much he can avoid talking about problems other times, such as when he became a werewolf).

They have some amazing conversations. Like the first time Oz asks her out:

OZ: I'm gonna ask you to go out with me tomorrow night. And I'm kinda nervous about it, actually. It's interesting.

WILLOW: Oh. Well, if it helps at all, I'm gonna say yes.

OZ: Yeah, it helps. It-it creates a comfort zone. Do you wanna go out with me tomorrow night?

WILLOW: (cringes and slaps her hand to her forehead) Oh! I can't!

OZ: Well, see, I like that you're unpredictable.

It's funny, and there's vulnerability and intimacy in having this conversation behind/about the conversation. Actually, this reminds me of the Spuffy scene in Hell's Bells, another of my favorites.

Their matching Halloween costumes are iconic.

I love a slow burn. I don't know if Willow and Oz's relationship objectively is one, compared to other Buffy canon couples, but the way it's framed makes it feel like one. I get a whole vibe of calm and acceptance and just being -- not racing along the relationship escalator or trying to prove something, just going with the flow. They're just vibing. :) Everything about the ship makes me feel comfortable. (I am deleting the Veruca arc from my memory as hard as I can at all times. I thought it was badly written, so I just want to pretend it never happened.)

ETA: can't believe I forgot "As Willow goes, so goes my nation" and also the slight shift in Oz's poker face as he watches Willow pretend to be vamp!Willow in Doppelgangland. They have many great moments.

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

I'm really into Coyote's (osteophage's) essay "You're Too Picky, Man": An Ace Reading of Oz's Character Arc in BTVS. I like the ship EVEN MORE if I consider what if Oz's interest in Willow didn't have a sexual component.

And I think this is a moderately popular opinion, but Willow has two hands. :)

Buffy/Riley: don’t ship it

Why don’t you ship it?

It bores me? And I have to agree with the people who have pointed out that dating someone whose papers you currently grade is sketchy. Um, I don't enjoy how much Buffy worries about this relationship sometimes, to the point of trying to make herself seem less?

Also, this isn't the ship's fault, it just happens adjacent to the ship, but let me go on a little rant about Willow's shovel talk to Riley. I have never seen a shovel talk I liked, I think they're silly and pointless and disrespectful to everyone involved, and this is no exception (even if the vague disclaimer line is quotable).

What would have made you like it?

Maybe if Riley was a lesbian!!! (link goes to my favorite Riley oneshot)

Also, if Riley's characterization hadn't taken that nosedive in s5.

Despite not shipping it, do you have anything positive to say about it?

Buffy is allowed to have a blandly adequate (?) boyfriend with nice arms if she so chooses.

I think the break from the monsterf***ing was good for Buffy to help realize what she was missing. :)

Rules: Tag three people you want to know better.

Thanks for inviting me to play, @roselightfairy! 💜

Three ships: Spuffy (my Buffyverse faves and the subject of my vidding WIP for Seasonal Spuffy), Shadowgast (my Critical Role faves -- there's so much going on in that pairing, let’s say... two queer nerds have a raging case of competence kink for their shadow selves (or perhaps that’s not the term, but there’s some intense narrative foil / mirror stuff going on at any rate), and also there's treachery and some manipulation, and, most importantly, redemption!), Spike/Anya (I'm writing a story for them! I'm turning a trope inside out and waxing sincere about what tumbles out of its insides!)

First ever ship: uhhh, maybe James/Lily from "Harry Potter"? I'd like to think I have discovered finer forms of foe yay since.

Last song: "Notiksies, kam jānotiek" by Marana feat. Renārs Kaupers, lyrics by Aivars Neibarts (We'll spend the night in a footprint of the darkness.... a red egg will sprout on the edge of the sky again)

youtube

Last movie: rewatched "Ginger Snaps". Horror movies are not exactly my thing, but I like the werewolf girls and the complicated platonic relationship, and the male-female friendship/alliance.

Currently reading: "We Too" (Essays on Sex Work and Survival) edited by Natalie West; and "Thing Explainer" by Randall Munroe. "We Too" is very enlightening and engaging (if often sad). "Thing Explainer" reduced me to giggles of absolute delight until the gimmick wore off a bit. It's an interesting intersection of science/technology nonfiction, humor, and almost poetry.

Currently watching: "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", the 1981 series. It's fine? I don't understand why I'm not more into it, tbh. It has all the good Hitchhiker's Guide jokes and stuff. Everyone except poor objectified Trillian looks great.

Currently consuming: ???? like art forms that aren't covered by the other questions? I did just read a neat poem, Kuala Lumpur Urban Legends by Jack Kin Lim.

Currently craving: breakfast and a nice bike ride, in that order, but I’ll have to do it the opposite order so I can start work at a halfway decent time

Tagging: @acaseofthewiggins, @feliciacraft, and @rahirah, but only if you guys feel like it! And anyone else who reads this and wants to do the thing, feel free to consider yourself tagged. :)

My #1 post of 2022

For the ask game... Xander/Anya, Buffy/Angel?

Thank you very much for asking! <3 I thought I'd have time to answer this sooner, yet here we are -- but I've had fun mulling it over during the week.

Xander/Anya

I ship it, though I'm not super invested in it. They can be really sweet and fun. They have their issues, but who doesn't.

What made you ship it?

I always thought they were pretty entertaining, I guess. Or, I am interested in Anya, and Anya has some incredible scenes that happen to be related to Xander.

What are your favorite things about the ship?

I like that they're down-to-earth and easygoing compared to some other major canon ships. The show allows them to have a relationship that isn't a huge deal, a big dramatic love story, at least for a while. I like that they're allowed in canon to have fun in bed, creatively even, and it's not implied that they're evil people for it.

I adore the way Anya confronts her humanity through/because of this relationship. I like that being in a relationship with Anya helps Xander grow too.

In fic, the ship can be moving and heartbreaking and, on the flip side, there's staggering comedic potential. It has the range.

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

I don't think either one of them was ready to get married in season 6, even if there had been no Xander-impersonating demon at the wedding? Um, not sure that was an unpopular one, let me try again.

While Xander does sometimes get snarky and patronizing about Anya's ex-demon peculiarities, I think it's understandable (in moderation!) -- nobody's patience and kindess is infinite in real life, and it’s not like his parents set a good example of what a healthy relationship looks like. Overall, it must have been helpful for Anya to get some cues from him about human life (why Anya was written as so clueless about human life is another can of worms).

Leaving Anya at the altar was obviously badly executed, terribly timed, and painful for everyone involved, but maybe a little better than going ahead with the wedding and THEN having second thoughts or huge unspoken issues.

Also, I’ve said this before, but I thought Anya's suggestion to have fun with two Xanders before merging them at the end of "The Replacement" was perfectly reasonable (though it doesn't matter, because the Xanders were uncomfortable with it).

Buffy/Angel

Okay. This one's interesting. I almost ship it. That is, I would NOT say I ship it, but... *shoves multiple poems under the bed* look, it's not like I've ever felt compelled to seek out fic about them or anything... *dedicated rec list spills out of my pocket* shit, I can explain.

I used to ship Bangel because it was the major ship that canon put in front of me and, let's face it, I'm a sucker for a good bout of miserable pining. I listened to that one playlist by @womanaction A Number of Times. :)

Why don’t you ship it?

I stopped shipping it after I saw "I Will Remember You", where Angel had a chance to be with Buffy and decided against it. I'm not saying characters have to be an item in canon in order for me to be interested in them, but that's when I had a change of heart.

I've an uneasy attitude towards Angel in particular. He has qualities that I consider flaws in myself. This can make him interesting and relatable to me, but also hard to tolerate in larger quantities.

I've been around Spuffy shippers a lot, and they have pointed out to me all the drawbacks of Bangel multiple times. I'm sure this skews my perception somewhat. I'm not sure I want to rehash any of that here.

What would have made you like it?

On the other hand, hearing people bash Bangel makes me feel like NOT outright hating the ship is cool and rebellious and mature of me as a Spuffy shipper. So in a way, the ship squabbles make me like Bangel a bit more out of spite.

I know that Angel's happiness curse is only ambiguously tied to sex, but I think there's some chance I would find Bangel enormously interesting and cute if Angel and Buffy decided to have a romantic relationship without sex. I think I might have imprinted on them for ace reasons if I’d seen this happen at the right time.

Alternatively, and this is more of a fic thing than a canon wish, *opens AO3* okay, genuine question, why are there so few Bangel stories in the Orgasm Delay/Denial tag? Buffy and Angel could have some creative fun without, ah, Angel's perfect happiness -- but of course, this is based on the simplified interpretation of perfect happiness as a pleasure moment.

I think I might also really enjoy a Buffy x Angel dynamic where they had, contrary to Spike's speech, become friends. Where the will-they-or-won't-they was no longer on the table, the way Xander gets over his romantic feelings for Buffy and keeps helping and supporting her afterwards. I might be even more into it if Angel still had a thing for Buffy but resolved to not make it her problem and channeled it into helping her unconditionally.

Ironically, I like the ship more when Angel is soulless and evil. I don't think Buffy and Angelus should, like, DATE, but I think the Angelus of BtVS s2 still has some semblance of romantic feelings for Buffy (not something we'd call love, I suppose). And he is suuuuuper messed up and conflicted about it, being a control freak whose identity depends on not pursuing this impulse. His struggles with his pesky crush are both rather relatable and enormously entertaining to me.

In theory, I might like Bangel more in the later seasons or post-series, but in practice that's when Spike is in the picture, and I have a preference.

I do like Buffy and Angel as part of a Spuffgel OT3.

Video Game Characters Rating

So I was having this talk with a friend where I said I generally don't like Mage/Magician/Summoner female type. Then I remember some female Mage that I like, and some non-mage I don't like. So I'm trying to break down a list of characters in video game that I like over my years of playing video game (which actually stopped about 15 years go, and only resume recently).

Here we go. In no particular order (mostly).

MALE CHARACTERS

Cloud (FFVII)

Obvious choice. He's strong (I always like strong melee characters) and funny. Even more so in the Remake. He also has one of the best character arc I've ever played.

Squall (FFVIII)

Before FFVII Remake, I think I even like Squall better. Same reasons as Cloud, only that Squall is even funnier because of his inner thoughts.

Auron (FFX)

Cool and strong. Deadbeat serious (aka, coolness maximized). A bit slow in combat but he's strong so I'm okay with using him in my party.

Locke (FFVI)

I don't remember much now but I remember liking him a lot back then, enough to keep him in my party as much as possible. His Steal ability is invaluable, and his earnest tendency to protect Terra and Celes makes him a reliable companion.

Yuri (Shadow Hearts I & II)

Very sassy, witty and humorous. As the main character, he's also strong as hell. A delight from the usual Final Fantasy solemn male leads. His relationship with his companions is also endearing.

Ryuudo (Grandia II)

Same reason as Yuri (poor Ryuudo, I don't have anything else to say).

Cid (FFVII)

His foul mouth and old-man running style is enough to be my favorite :)))) Inside battle, he is the only one beside Cloud that has a Triple-slotted weapon, and his Limit Break hits multiple time, so he always gets the second place in my party. Plus his theme song is a killer.

FEMALE CHARACTERS

Tifa (FFVII)

Because she fights with her fists (my most favorite weapon). She's thoughtful and reasonable, which are traits that I like in a female character. While I do use her in battles from time to time (because I like looking at her) but I find her combat power is very lacking in the OG. In the Remake, however, she's an absolute joy to play.

Alice (Shadow Hearts I)

She's your typical healer/white mage pure heart character (which is clearly not my cup of tea), but I actually enjoy her quite a lot. She never comes off as fake or cringe to me. She's determined, gentle and caring all the way, and her dynamic with Yuri is believable and endearing.

Elena (Grandia II)

Another healer/white mage. She's also similar to Alice (as Ryuudo is similar to Yuri). And just like Alice, even though she's not strong physically, her skill set works well during battle game play.

Shania (Shadow Hearts 3)

Shadow Hearts series actually have very good overall cast, better than most FF titles actually. Shania is a fresh break from your usual female lead. She's cool, cold, and strong.

----------

I really don't like many female characters. Either they are usually weak physically, or their skill set doesn't work well in normal battles (hence, they are not a joy to play), or their personality is just not my cup of tea, or all of the above. Overall, it's not actually what their personality is as you describe them, it's HOW they are handled in the game (both in term of narrative and in term of gameplay), and their dynamics with other characters.

Male characters, well, if they are strong, I like them. Even if I'm neutral, for example, I don't particularly like Zidane (FFIX) or Tidus (FFX) but they are among the strongest in the party so they never fall out of my Neutrally Enjoyable List.

None of the (female) characters that I dislike is a joy to play...

Sam starts a podcast for hunter lore and publishes it under the paranormal fiction genre. It's mostly for the benefit of updating hunters' access to information, but he figures if it's available publicly it might end up helping a civilian, too.

It gains a cult following, and soon his fandom is made up of hunters, fiction enthusiasts, and regular believers and want-to-believers in the supernatural.

Dean finds out about it when Claire brings it up to justify her lack of stealth about the supernatural on a case. And at first Dean's upset, of course, but not because of Sam's indiscretion.

"I can't believe you're doing that without me. You'd have more followers if you did your show with me. I'm funnier than you, and all those true crime thingies are under comedy, right?"

"Yeah, but Dean, this isn't true crime. Ostensibly, it's just fiction. I don't even list it under comedy."

And Dean just looks at him until Sam sighs and acquiesces.

Dean's lame commentary on his cameo episode is Not Funny, Sam thinks, and is therefore shocked when his follower count jumps with the episode and social media is flooded with fanart of Sam and Dean despite no one knowing what they look like. They range from Just Some Guys to "fancasts" of actors to eldritch-like beings (a la welcome to night vale fanart).

The podcast is titled "Hunter's Lore," but after Dean becomes a regular and the style of the podcasts become a little more conversational, the fandom starts to subtitle it "so get this."

There are fan communities; at least one really fucking detailed fansite "decoding" the lore; another similar website that expands the canon of the podcast, creating a rich, fictional backstory about Sam and Dean being like Giles and Buffy; and yet ANOTHER website tinhatting the fuck out of them--it's full of shippy fanart that incorporates quotes of banter from the show.

People who know about Carver Edlund's Supernatural books think Sam and Dean are using aliases and that the show is entirely meta. There's a split in fandom about whether that's too cringe.

Dean is almost completely unaware of the fandom; especially as it brushes against the Edlund fandom. (Y'know terminally online? He's terminally offline) So when they meet new hunters he's not shy about bragging about his little brother's hit podcast.

Story of opposites / Real history is funnier than memes

So I've seen this phrase/scene from Arcane memed so many times in various context, it's funny. The story of opposites. Let rephrase it:

Two young aspiring students meet through academia interested in the same visionary idea to change the world for the better, inspired by larger than life body of work of their mentor. One comes from pretty comfortable station - his family being in manufacturing business; The Other from more humble background. One tall, personable and elegant became the public facing part of the duo; The Other, diagnosed with what doctors could only pin to a sort of weak chest - a lifelong illness that gave him overall unapproachable disposition, had rather distrustful nature.

Their worldview was profoundly shaped by their mentor. In it "the idea" was the force that shaped the external world. The material world reflection of the man's mind.

Could that mean a dangerous idea would bring problems to the world itself?

For years they furthered their studies under the principles championed by their mentor, to bend matter into the change they wanted to see. If one fixed the contradiction in their own mind, the world must follow suit.

And the world around them? Run by industrialists, with drugs and other vice circulating freely used for what little relief everyday people could get. Children in the mines, unsafe work conditions. Their world simultaneously that of unity and a conflict of opposites.

No longer students, the more they wrestled to bring the change to the world outside, the further they drifted from the wise words of their mentor. First they changed slowly, noticing the cracks in their mentor's perspective. Then they outright abandoned his teachings, down the dark path as the real world did not bend to their "idea" of change alone.

After... them and their world was never the same again. It was too late to revert the change.

Funny, did both of them think this partnership could be lifelong ?

And everyone knows how this story ends. There must have been a fall out of some sorts. One went back to continue his family business among the people of station he came from. You heard his name once or twice, but can't really put your finger on invention he contributed when progressing the world. The Other was forever exiled for his "revolutionary" thoughts. You heard his name, maybe even of his theory of human progress, and at least vaguely know it spells something already disapproved and dangerous. A slippery slope.

Not much is known of personal lives of these two errant students, who wanting to bring change in the world, strayed from idealistic pathway of their mentor, Hegel, towards it's evolved contrary materialistic version.

So that was about Friedrich Engels and Karl Marx, now lets talk about Jayce and Viktor. Two young aspiring students meet through academia interested in the same visionary idea to change the world for the better...

Real history is funnier than memes.

Honestly I'm still wondering if it's possible to push under big corporation's censorship such a obvious parallel to well known historical figures, but then again most people that use terms like 'class warfare' rarely know specific philosophical pathway these two washed up revolutionaries took to arrive at it. Even more rarely read about personal lives of both. Maybe for the better, because one can choose between Karl "my description of letters from my betrothed will give anyone reading them second hand embarrassment and cringe" Marx and Friedrich "marriage is just a bourgeois institution but I'll marry my life partner just before her death" Engels.

But just in small chance this is 100% where arcane is going, I didn't want to include how these two ended up in two different cities and why.

More serious than this posts by me - Arcane meta analysis posts - mostly politics, tech and character parallels

i think ranboo is funnier on chuckle sammy because he's around people who have ''edgier'' (in comparison to his usual audience) humor and reputations, mostly schlatt but charlie and ted get shit sometimes for their associations with him. it feels like he's more comfortable and open with what he can say even if he isn't necessarily saying anything problematic the sense of eggshells isn't there. he was a lunch club fan so he probably prefers their humour and chuckle sammy's audience tbh. also schlatt ted and charlie are funnier than him so even if he's cringe they can make his cringe funny

yeah honestly this most recent chuckle sammy episode pointed out to me how much he just constantly worries about saying the wrong thing because other than one or 2 moments he was genuinely funny. i found myself laughing the whole time

Ask meme- Nanami Kiryuu from RGU? 💃🏼👀

Thanks for asking! Slight disclaimer before I do this that I've not rewatched Utena in a while (aside from the shadow play episode which I rewatched a few weeks back for reasons) so I might be misremembering things a bit.

Why I like them

Her overall series arc is so good. You start with the standard perception of her as a bully, but as the series progresses you slowly realise that that’s not all there is to her in that there are reasons why she acts out as she does. And that those reasons tie into a lot of the other themes in the series (the most obvious one being the cycle of abuse* but that’s not the only one). And she does start to improve somewhat. I’m not sure I’d say that by the end of the series she’s fully completed her character development, but she’s definitely made progress? (Nanami has what Miraculous fans wish Chloe got though)

*There was actually a fanart piece I came across recently which summed that part up visually really well. I was holding off on reblogging it for spoiler reasons but it should be safe to reblog now so I’ll probably do so after this post.

Why I don’t

The cow and egg episodes. I get (mostly) what they're trying to do with her there but there are some parts of it where I'm cringing so badly that I'm just there like "pls no I can't watch".

Favorite episode (scene if movie)

Not exactly a specific ep but across a few but the stuff near the end where she's staying with Anthy and Utena and gets forced to re-examine her relationship with Touga is definitely my favourite arc for her character.

And if I had to pick a scene, I think the "there's an x in Anthy's pencil case" gag. Both because it gets funnier as it escalates and also because it actually shows how insecure Nanami is that she thinks being "weird" is reason to be mocked by friends.

Favorite season/movie

N/A

Favorite line

N/A

Favorite outfit

Her usual yellow uniform tbh. I don't even like bright yellow particularly but it's so ingrained with my idea of her that it seems weird for her to be in anything else.

OTP

I don't actually have one for her, you know? I more have a list of NOTPs in terms of "please keep her brother well away from her thanks" and overall am uh not sure she's in a super position to start a healthy romantic relationship.

Brotp

I like some of the little bits with her and Miki and Juri. They can be pretty cute, especially near the end of the series.

Head Canon

I'm not sure how canon canon this is but I was pretty convinced by some of the arguments I've seen thrown about that Nanami's entire thing with her brother is basically down to comphet? She thinks that her brother is safe as a target because he would never return her 'feelings' and that adds to the disorientation when she finds out about the blood types*.

*Though I do think the main factor with the blood relation thing is more about whether Touga is only tied to her through obligation and if that didn't exist, would he still care for her? And all of Nanami’s other “friendships” are largely superficial and centred around other topics not around actually liking each other, so of course that adds to the depth of obsession she has with her one “proper” personal connection at the start of the show. (And the superficial friendships also connects to how she was so sure that Anthy would be ostracised for being “weird” because she’s likely projecting to some extent)

Unpopular opinion

Not sure if unpopular but part of why I like Nanami is because as you find out more about her she becomes obviously more complex. However, the dress thing with Anthy early on becomes retrospectively a lot worse once we find out what Anthy is remembering at that time. And I don't really see much of those who *do* like Nanami really addressing how messed up that in particular is? Like, obviously Nanami wouldn't have realised she was stepping on a specific trauma, but the dress thing was incredibly messed up regardless.

A wish

For her to continue down the path she’s going as of the end of the series and to break free 😔.

An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen

Falling back into the pattern with Touga. I feel like at the end of the series she has actually made progress on this because the pedestal is broken so her returning or reverting to the unabashed worship would be so yikes to me.

5 words to best describe them

Insecure bully dressed in yellow

My nickname for them

I don't have one for her in general, but have recently come across "Cownami" for her in the cow episode which amuses me.

Fenris Dragonage for the character ask thing !

fenris dragonage :')

i'm putting this under the cut bc this got long omg

First impression: i think i remember being shocked at how deep his voice was bc i had only seen one (1) art of fenris before meeting him and it did not entirely convey..... His Whole Style

Impression now: he is the love of my life. i cannot contain myself when i see him. might very well be my favorite dragon age romance because i am consistently losing my mind throughout the entire thing. can and do redo every cutscene with him just so i can experience it again. wonderful character. love him so much. love seeing a character grow throughout a game. also a lot funnier/charming than people convey. he loves hawke so much and it makes me so sad when people think that he is just always exasperated by them. that laugh into an awkward grunt? top tier. i love him so much *grabby hands*

Favorite moment: WHEN YOU AND HIM FINALLY GET TOGETHER IN ACT 3.................... also that quote between him and hawke where he's like "what do you do when you stop running?" and hawke says "you build a life" i lose my fucking MIND

Idea for a story: it's a sad idea but i always wanted to play more in the space of fenris being there for hawke after leandra's death

Unpopular opinion: people who think genuinely fenris hates all mages frustrate me so much. like yes he has distrust towards mages and yes i don't Like every single thing he says, but 1) he himself says that the only reason he Feels this way towards magic is bc of danarius and hadriana, 2) idk maybe we're playing different games but with a pro-mage hawke and high friendship, fenris can see that not all mages are like the ones from tevinter and will in fact stand against the templars, and 3) of all characters, fenris probably has The Most reason to not trust mages at the start of the game. yes i am still bitter abt talking on t*kt*k abt how i always romance fenris and Enough people were in the comments like "ugh how can you like fenris >:(" like fuck off!!!! ALSO i think bioware focused way too much on a fenris & anders rivalry bc i feel like they could've had more in common than the game showed, and tbh i feel like their banter just served to further that rivalry instead of dealing with... actual character.

Favorite relationship: literally my dream pairing is fenris/hawke/isabela bc i love fenris/hawke and i love hawke/isabela (i want to legitimately romance bela so badly) and i love fenris/isabela so, if bioware wasn't a bunch of cowards, i would put all three of them together <3

Favorite headcanon: fenris and isabela are best friends. you cannot convince me otherwise. fenris and isabela are so ride-or-die for each other. AND isabela absolutely officiates the fenhawke wedding and it happens like that one scene in pirates of the caribbean where they're like "hey! marry us!" in the middle of a fight and the captain is like "I'M A LITTLE BUSY AT THE MOMENT" yes i haven't seen potc in years but do u know the scene i'm talking abt. anyways best friends fenris and isabela <3

[if you see me mentioning that i have a t*kt*k no u dont <3 it's mostly cringe dragon age] [that's my coy way of saying don't follow it akjsdkjsd]
