What is the New Generation of Delinquents?

~*,`¢

Tokyo Revengers plot circles around Bōsōzoku subculture, which is why I love it as deeply as I do.

!! Update: Discussion Piece(6.14.23): Tokyo Manji Honorary Division

Bōsōzoku culture derives/d from lower class Japanese youth who’ve banded together to express dissatisfaction with Japanese Society.

America is very familiar with countercultural movements lmao. Punk/Grunge/Metal/etc…

Youth are aimless, reckless, and rebellious.

If you’ve ever enjoyed the book The Outsiders by S.E Hinton , you know this is a prime example of brotherhood bonds between lower class hoodlums. In Oklahoma, of all places.

Otherwise known as; Yankii, Sukeban, Kyushakai.

Who is a Yankii?

The Rise and Fall of Bōsōzoku

When Bōsōzoku Youth evolve past crime, Kyushakai

#GirlGang: Sukēban<33

This article is really awesome in explaining cultural differences, feel free to read up on some if you’re interested.

Today I plan to point out a few:

Yankii Mothers / YanMaMa; Ryoko Baji

early ’90s, yankii men occasionally entered construction and teen women had children and dropped out of high school — both stereotypes that persist today. *The young yankii mothers — yan mama — were often ostracized by other mother groups and struggled to assimilate to their new identities as parents.

Within a year of publication, Yan Mama Comic had reached of circulation of 120,000, helping to bond socially isolated communities of young mothers.

…

NO DOUBT ABOUT IT FOLKS; Ryoko and Baji’sDad were definitely two yankii teens who fell in love and had a kid too young.

Headcanon! That Keisuke’s parents were set on making a badass life together, and be awesome young parents with the coolest and toughest new punk kid to add to the books!

…But, they were still two idiots. Baji’s father probably ran head first, sacrificing himself in one way or another, I’m sure.

This leads you to wonder ~..

How did everyone else come to this lifestyle?

What is Their Social Injustice?

(All headcanons but kinda factual,so…)

Mikey: all younger siblings admire their older brothers! Shinichiro was the leader of a biker gang, of course Mikey would want to follow in his footsteps! So Mikey’s reason soon turns to::

Shinichiro: By being a overall stand up guy, true to his word and genuine to a fault, he had a strength not a lot of people had. He welcomed friendships with BlackSheep, and made a home for them however he could. Strong ally’s stood by him and as long as he’s around, they would support his ideals in shaping a better future.

Draken: was literally born into it. Escorts have been judged and poorly treated left and right, taking care of yourself—with a child to boot; was hell for a women. Unwanted kids of “filth” aren’t usually welcomed in social circles. The Children bare the injustice of inconvenience. By living with escorts and witnessing first hand the “low-class work” so many have had to endure to make a decent way of life, Draken learned young that life was unfair. So to live, you have to make a way of life for yourself, unapologeticly.

Mitsuya: Poor kids are looked down on a lot. Made fun of for things they can’t control. Kids with jobs are looked down on for being in the working class so soon. With a mother who was never home, and taking care of two younger sisters, he needed strength to deal with how unfair his life was. Meeting Draken, and realizing that the struggle to survive and keep trying to have a family even when it’s hard, he started respecting his mother a lot more. He found a sense of belonging Toman…

Baji: also literally born into it. Grew up with a single mother who was looked down on for being young/dropping out of school. Supporting her as the only Man of the house, Keisuke takes after his mother’s confidence. He also is seen having an alternative sense of fashion, making me believe he is definitely a metal head.

Kazutora: dealt with a lot growing up. He was bullied for being a sheepish pushover. He was hit by his father for any level of individuality /expression of defiance. He was manipulated into always having to pick one right side, and that there was always one wrong side. He tries showing loyalty by giving everything he has to friendships that hurt him, without realizing friends shouldn’t hurt him. No matter who he was, there was never anyone he could just be a person with. Be a part of the perfect high status family you were born into, or face the punishments. He finds comfort when he finds a family he can trust and be a person who makes mistakes. Friends are meant to be treasured. And after meeting Baji, and joining Toman, he found somewhere he could belong.

Pah: I still need to look more into him I can’t lie.

Takemichi: Bozosoku culture is notorious for being social justice fighters, as the entire notion of a subculture is to defy societal injustice anyway. And that’s just who Takemitchi is; a friend to everyone.

Hinata: the prime example of Dating into the lifestyle. It’s easy to admire and possibly fall in love with people as passionate as rebellious, adrenaline junky teens. She’s empathetic to how others see Takemichi, knowing above all else, he loves her more than anything!

Emma: she never really got into being a part of the gang, but she was by association. All of her brothers. She’s always been the crown jewel of TokyoManji! But not only that; Emma isn’t fully Japanese. True, a lot of the cast is multinationality. But she has Mikey on her side. She is his family, and that makes her strong. Foreigners are often ostracized, easy to pick out due to her natural Blonde hair. (*blonde hair is also often an act of rebellion, she showing that she refuses to dye it black to fit in can also say a little about other issues-)

LETS NOT FORGET!!! TOMAN IS BUILD ON THE BACK OF “The Little guy who sticks up for the Weak”.

The series is based on what kind of world Manjiro Sano chooses to build. Every timeline is unintentionally set by his hand, because he is that powerful of a person. Because people follow him. Manjiro is the type of person who changes fates.

By losing Shinichiro; Manjiro loses Empathy.

Shinichiro was a charismatic and empathetic person, often putting differences aside to better the other person. He was a heavily respected person in the delinquent world of Japan as the founder of Black Dragon. He led Black Dragon with a humble heart and was treated with notable respect, while also being a big brother to all three of his siblings. Even though he was a weak fighter, he lead the Black Dragon with his immense charisma. Even years after his death, later generations of members still hold him in high regard.

A person like Shinichiro is the kind of man people follow. The Weak Guy sticking up for his friends; The One who Always Won..

In a subculture seeking structure, he is the perfect person to leading a generation of a kinder and more empathetic people.

So let’s wrap up the question!;

What is the New Generation of Delinquents?

Crown-a-Crown!

TL;DR: Vote for your favorite form of the Master Crown! The poll is below this kind note directly from our sponsor.

"mortals, It's the Crown Without a Ruler (WITHER IN FEAR). I am speaking to you today via server-hosted textual display data. make no mistake; in better days, the God of Another Dimension never relied on computers or clockwork, but due to My very TEMPORARY circumstances, it is the best Your Diademic Deity can do.

today I generously offer you the chance to sing your praises in a quantitative manner. I have asked the (LOWLY) owner of this account to compile every single form of the Master Crown (ME) thus far revealed to mortal eyes (YOU). My memory is infallible, but theirs is not, so if they manage to forget something, please rectify the situation by sending them HATE MAIL.

My appearances are invariably arresting, so I understand that your decision will be difficult. I allow you to determine your answer by considering power, mere aesthetics, story significance, or a combination of those and more.

you can explain yourself in the "tags" or "replies" if you wish, but if any one of you cringing, crawling things MENTIONS—nay, so much as CONSIDERS—any manner of BLUE-CLAD WIZARD, then by Eden's Altar, there will be RETRIBUTION.

I give you a week's time to cast your vote.

#as you may be able to tell i tried to group simple recolors or otherwise very similar designs together #didnt include anything that isnt explicitly/canonically shown to be a form of the crown. so no concept art... etc. #personally i consider the entirety of the Magolor Phase 2/Soul forms to be part of the crown. not just the thing on its head... #...especially since the Soul flavor text says it's “a manifestation of the crown itself.” but im not sure everyone would agree with that #making this poll reminded me that “Mistilteinn” isnt technically the tree forms official name (yet?) #kirby series #master crown monday #master crown #poll #PS: some of the options i dont realistically expect to get any votes. and thats okay. i was just trying to be thorough lol #PPS: i dont think the master crown knows how to add bold face or capitalization. it changes text emphasis with its soul. its true

a quick hot guide for people that struggle commenting on fics aka things authors love to hear and youre just over thinking it and its actually really simple to leave comments on stuff!!

key smash/emoji spam/reaction image/etc (it conveys emotions way more than you might think)

drop a line you really liked

say how much you love a ship/character and how happy you are that theres content about them

ALL CAPS ANYTHING

"i liked/loved/enjoyed/whatever it!" its better to say the most basic thing than saying nothing tbh; writers appreciate hearing anything over nothing 💜

"thank you for writing this" its short, sweet, and very powerful

think what kind of feedback you'd personally like to receive on a piece of art you made. try to translate that want into comments you leave for other people too

you dont have to be critical or constructive or anything, even if the author asks for that stuff in their notes. they'll get it from someone else, you just do you

i feel like people make leaving comments too hard on themselves, so really just make it simple. if you really dont come up with anything, just say thank you. youre there reading for some reason, tell the author what it is. fic comments dont need to be book analysis essays (tho those are. incredibly appreciated as well if you want to write one!!), writers publishing their works for free online appreciate any kind of feedback regardless if you consider it good or well written. a comment is a comment

bottom line is, leave comments on fics and other written works. its whats keeping this game alive

#feel free to add these are just the two cents in my brain rn #also absolutely reblogs encouraged #listen im not just speaking for myself i want to see every fic writer get more comments. more feedback #and dont even get me fucking started on getting reblogs on this goddamn webbed site im gonna blow up otherwise #just. fucking. support your friends. support your favorite creators. say nice shit about them and share their work #i cant believe this needs to be said in fucking 2023 god #im tired can you tell lmao #i also know im a fucking nobody talking about this but fuck if i dont who will ugh #as someone that tries their best to always leave at least a word in everything i read (which admittedly isnt a lot but still) #this is a very important topic to me. okay? okay #again feel free to add to this and its absolutely rebloggable if for nothing else than to remind people to COMMENT ON FICS #night is an absolute mess on main

one of the worst thing that anyone has said to me since oct. 7 was a few days later when a coworker asked me how i was doing. i said that i have long felt no loyalty to israel, that i think the retaliation is the real problem, that i was more worried about gaza than anything else. (this felt like the simplest way to convey it.)

she looked at me and said "well, that's funny. you're a jew, and you're against the jews."

let it be known, when you see the pictures of jews crying out for a ceasefire, when you see our elders chaining themselves to the white house fence, when you see holocaust survivors tell the news THIS IS GENOCIDE:

there is never a time when i am more WITH the jews, with my people, than when i say "ceasefire now." there is never a time that i advocate more for the safety of my people than when i reject an ethnostate as the solution to our safety. there is never a time when i more honor my ancestors than when i say "free palestine." because they meant it when they said never again, and so do i.

#jewsforpalestine #free palestine #free gaza #always & forever #and i will NEVER let anyone tell me otherwise #i can't explain how those words cut me and i just had to say smth #i feel like i should add #i'm the only jew in my entire workplace #everyone wanted to know how i ''was'' #i find that terribly upsetting #ask instead how the palestinians are #ask why this happened

[piningprecussionist]

Soooo for the future AU with married Kim and Ramona, who do you think would take whose last name?? Or would they double barrel them?? Or not mess with their last names at all? Was literally lying awake thinking about this last night it means far too much to me

Oh man... much to consider...

Obviously, the funny/correct (/j) answer is they end up hyphenating it as Pine-Flowers.

But honestly like.. either of them taking the others name is also so cute? Kim Flowers, Ramona Pine.... they make me very 💞💞💞

(Flowers-Pine is also a fine order for the hyphenated take, and arguably more funny since Pine-Flowers is right there, but I think Pine-Flowers has better flow, ya know?)

Of course, this is taking at as a "legitimately married" au as I have taken you to posit here,, whenever I think about their future selves, personally, I've been thinking about it like "yeah Ramona's still married to Scott actually. This changes nothing for me" ahfduksfjdh

#like i see them still giving eachother rings and maybe calling eachother by their own respective last names while they go about whatever it+ #+is they're doing... #they cant file formally since ramona isn't divorced but it only gnaws at Kim sometimes because it's Scott Fucking Pilgrim- Ramona otherwise+ #+gives no indication that Kim has anything to worry about. and she doesn't! imo anyway #(idk so far as im concerned until bryan tells us what Future Kim is up to i am considering them Canon your honor shjfshjdhf and thats how + #+that works out in my mind considering canon statements made) #((plus is explains to me why even older scott would drag kim there for the final showdown...)) #spto #kim pine #ramona flowers #ship stuff #kimona #pineflowers #ramkim #kimram #kim x ramona #ramona x kim #thats all im doing maybe. we'll see if i decide to add more/longer ones #ooc #txt #cassmouse #tysvm for the ask! <3 i also lay awake thinking abt them... they are everything to me.... #((also i generally need to be thinking abt future kim for a Thing. sans pineflowers Tragically but For A Thinggg....)) #asks #(forgot that. whoops.)

This made me unreasonably sad

S1 Gerber's death hits so hard man

It's such an incredibly heartbreaking extended death scene with Gerber is saying how he doesn't wanna die and Derek panicking while assuring him that it'll be ok. Then immediately after Gerber's dead the game repeats the "Rain continues to fall" message, which in context has shifted from bland text about the weather to feeling way more depressing.

...and then Gerber's death theme is fucking Ram Ranch

I'm so ready for a change

#forgot i didnt add tags #i want to cut and dye my hair all fucked up #i want to start my life over #i want to be the man i KNOW i am #i feel trapped in a cage #188 days #I'll be out #ill be away #ill be myself #everything will be as it should #I know im a man but my brain is telling me otherwise it wants me to question my gender again but i know deep down ive always been a man #ough #sorry to rant #i think all the transphobia is getting to me as much as i try to post trans content to retaliate #im fine though! #sorry to vent

Was anyone going to tell me the reason Tarn doesn't use his voice all the time is because it's physically painful and potentially disabilitating? Or was I just supposed to figure it out.

It makes sense why he never went after any heavy hitters with it. If their spark is too strong he's liable to up and pass out.

Another day of me realizing that the Avaloran Royal Guard system makes no sense.

#Personal #Ajhdnfjjf I should stop reading about the real world armies :’D #But I need it for writing reasons so #Okay I was reading about the military formations #And you know Captain is a way too high rank for doing the stuff Gabe does in the show x) #He’s not even supposed to lead the squad #(which he does in Snow Place Like Home and Crash Course) #(although honestly it looks more like a team because there’s only two or four people there) #and well this is a sergeant’s responsibility #definitely not captain’s #Okay I’m just sticking with the idea that the Avaloran army got greatly reduced after Shuriki was overthrown #This is why Gabe as a freaking OFFICER was doing such minor things #Wait I think Gabe calls his squad a company some time later in Crash Course? #Yeah a company that consists of four people #Their guard is tiny you cannot tell me otherwise #I’m gonna be so educated in the military #Too bad nobody in my surrounding will ever know #(okay but I actually need to make some changes in my guard system #and add a lot of new stuff too)

[rexcaliburechoes]

some misc late night diamant thoughts // literally no one asked

as an addendum this is 100% a-OK to add onto! I'm kinda spitting ideas out into the void tbh so if you wanna expand on anything I have here feel free to!

kinda wanna spoil diamant.

like, not testing his limits so he indulges in his darkest fantasies, not necessarily that, but more like watching him unravel under my hands and feeling how all of the tension bleeds out of his body as he sinks into something that's just as dangerous as conquering and warmongering: peace and vulnerability.

consider diamant slowly stripping away each and every layer of his armour, physical and metaphorical, exposing that soft underbelly of his deepest insecurities and letting them exist without fear of being taken advantage of, or being considered less than perfect. his soft demeanor isn't a flaw. it's just him. it's just who he is.

he's kind and fights for peace and thinks all too much about the world and so little about himself and tries to atone for every sin his country has committed in the past even if that's not all of his burden to bear but it's the cross he'll carry to his death because that's how brodia rules: through might, willpower, and sheer stubbornness to see it through.

he can take any hit and dish out punishment in equal magnitude and pull up his armour higher and higher, erecting more and more walls to protect himself from any perceived threat or potential for harm. he thrives in that environment, didn't you know? he's the only one allowed to be injured because he can take those hits and recover from them on his own. he doesn't need help, he doesn't need protection. he's his own self healing tank. he can hold out for as long as he needs.

but diamonds have their breaking point. he can only take so much heat before he crumbles to ash. he has exploitable weaknesses and flaws in his crystalline structure. he can only recover so much before the amount of enemies overwhelm him and he can't endure any more.

he's his father's son, the perfect crown prince, the healing warmth and protection for his allies. he'd martyr himself if his brother allowed it. what a lonely path he walks- he's not open to his brother because he idolises him and he needs to be a pillar of strength for him when he's already about to pass he, who has already likely hit his apex of strength. alcryst has time to grow. how much can diamant grow to keep himself stronger than his baby brother of 8 years? how much longer before alcryst surpasses him in skill and strength?

don't think about that. just keep training, working, fighting for peace, protecting his allies. his self imposed loneliness is nothing when it comes to the greater future that's at hand. there is no rest for the weary, not when lives are on the line.

because, if he rests, if he lets himself be vulnerable, then who's to say he's not working hard enough to embody his ideals?

he's scared, perhaps not deeply terrified at everything like his brother, but he still keeps (kept) a talisman of courage on him to give him strength. he does not draw courage from his allies (he does, but he can't afford to lean on them for fear of needing help and if he needs help than he's imperfect and that imperfection will cost him) but from perhaps even a childish belief. sure, perhaps he's drawing upon the strength of his culture- his people, even- but such an abstract ideal is just that: an ideal. a belief. a belief that is so far removed from the personhood of sitting down and talking with someone about his imperfections, is he a good son? will he be a good ruler? what will come to pass after the war? what if he's not strong enough? what if-?

don't think about that. just keep training, laughing with his allies, looking forward into the future no matter what it may bring. he isn't alone, he has allies to support him, to make him laugh, to fight for and protect. this isn't loneliness. it's just the burden of a king.

he's named after the diamond, after all. he can't afford imperfections (worrying about this all is an imperfection in itself. don't think about that.)
