i rlly hope tadc gets a reputation for having banger fansongs the way fnaf has
ive heard only 3 so far but theyre all awesome i want More!!!!!! i like the different interpretations ive heard so far :3
no exit by longestsoloever goes So hard, rlly emphasizes the performance aspect of being in a circus with an almost malicious sorta vibe from the ringmaster
who am i by caleb hyles represents the dread & confusion of being thrust into a strange new world you seemingly cant leave (also i personally Adore the instrumentals)
and day after day by recd is a cute song abt caines daily routine getting everyone ready for the adventure of the day! i like that it focuses on caine genuinely trying to keep everyone entertained but not rlly knowing what humans like, i think its sweet :)

What does he look like as drowned rat?
Tumblr media
Them, in all their drowned rat glory.
They start off as a really good agent, filled with confidence and really convincing to others! Then start to find out things on their own that the agency would rather they don't know (also through very illegal means but hey, whatever) and decide to dip.
Before leaving though, they act as the mentor to Clifford, a young and impressionable agent in training... and make sure that he's the best agent he can be according to their very harsh standards. They then even tell the higher ups, hey, kid's ready and you should give him a nice name for missions. And then suggests Bravo, convinced Clifford will accept any code name with gratitude, they want it more personal. But like. Personal to /them/.
So every time someone uses that code name, it's basically praising their hard work with the guy. Anyone who uses the name Bravo is acknowledging Clifford's skills, but more importantly, acknowledging the one who gave him those skills.

like the wu ming reveal was all very nice but since this all happened nearly a thousand years before the events of books 1, 3, and 5 its like...okay? everything about their relationship in the flashback I either found creepy or didn't care about 😭 ik some fans like the idea of a character so loyal he's willing to destroy a whole country on the word of his god slash crush but umm I do not! also hc disguising himself as the child who was hanging out with xl was so weird why did he do that. age gap creepiness aside it was just stupid and eliminated a chatacter I was really excited about. and it pissed me off when he kicked qyz off the sedan chair like let him sit!!! his single-minded focus on xl got so so old and his insistence on inserting himself everywhere was intrusive and annoying! to me. got real tired of his 'fuck everyone else I got dianxia' mindset. immature. annoying. and unfair
#lwj is reserved and cool to strangers but hes not actively malicious or sadistic#he cares about his family and home and students and music#he does ignore ppl more than I'd like but hes not actively dismissive like hc often is#a small moment from the book I liked was when he first encountered 'mxy' he nodded respectfully in acknowledgement#obvi this doesnt mean mdzs or the writing for him isnt homophobic. it is. it has its own issues. Ive never even reread mdzs#but I think tgcf is just a less serious and more shallow and wishy-washy romance at its core#AND lwj is literally less petty and vengeful thab hc is even tho what jc allegedly did was way worse than what fxmq did#and lwj has literally a reputation for being petty so it doesn't seem fair that hc doesn't#actually tho I think much of that came from drama viewers who saw a gay man being kind of a dick to the guy who 1. was a dick to him first#and 2. suicide baited his loved one so I maintain thats reasonable#hes not unfair or short w anyone else#wait I lost my sentence structure. drama viewers labelled him as petty for being reasonably dickish to the dude he hates for good reason#which IS homophobic. but the comparative scale of mqfx's offenses + the fact that it happened so long ago and xl has long since recovered#makes hc look way more petty and unreasonable. but its not reflected in fan treatment or desc of him. tbf he gets over it by the end tho#ik cunty is a fun word but its not the only accurate one#tgcf txp#mdzs txp

While being all brokenhearted and sad writing that post it should be noted that i thought i saw a house centipede in the bed and jumped up, only to find the sweetest roundest little baby mouse that ever lived hiding behind the bed. Tha k u little mouse for trying to cheer me up but sneaking up on me in my blankets is not ideal for me. Esp at almost 4am. Im sorry
#edit: k i deleted most of the posts crying abt this bc like. whatever#i dont care about that sack of shit at least i know i was fuckin right to block them bc they WOULD have gotten worse#like aw a 20 yr old u thought was cool turned out to be creeped out by ur progressively weird messages abt other users uve had sex with? :(#sooo weird aha they must just be dumb❤ like lol#all i care abt is making sure things at least end in good terms with my old mutual bc. she was cool. and id hate for her to think i was#ever malicious T__T this sux.#altho i still dont know for sure if this is what happened like if they turned everyone on me but. cant shake the feeling#it was all around the same time i should have guessed but i GUESS i thought theyd be a fuckin adult and get over it#sigh. idk. this is so dumb im just upset at the feeling This is why we all drifted. like im in the wrong for not wanting to be friends#w someone who was way too comfortable just...sharing shit i didnt consent to hear abt ppl i knew that Also didnt consent to me being told#qnd this all happened SO LONG ago and i didnt even know because i thought this asshole would be normal for some reason!!#this whole time ive been disappointed n a little sad in not seeing certain ppl active anymore but still thibking fondly of them#and this whole time. they could've just been fed lies abt me. its 730am im so fuckin tired but this thought is rly hurtin 😞#....i just rly hope this isnt why ok. because this isnt anywhere near fuckin fair if it is. im fine if they just dont wanna follow anymore#thats fine im 200% cool with that and i Respect when ppl need to move on whatever i get THAT. but its fuckin greasy if it was out of spite.

nvm im too tired and overstimulated for this shit
#.vent#i only slept a couple hours last night man. i cant do short notice evening socials on an empty tank let alone resist unexpected rsd#if they had let me know earlier then i wouldve taken a nap and worked out beforehand to get my energy back up#idk just. if u rly want my company then maybe u should actually invite me next time. its not like they didnt plan it#even if they just forgot its not particularly pleasant to be the one person insignificant enough to forget abt. theres only 5 of us#they rly remembered to ask the one guy who isnt even here before me yknow. ugh u see the stupid thoughts i have to battle!!#like on a rational level ik it was probably genuinely accidental. but the way i instinctively react is not always rational#so regardless someone has to deal with the emotional fallout and thats me. regulating this shit is hard work even when im NOT tired asf#i really really dont want to be an asshole and spoil anyones fun bc its no-ones fault + as real as it feels to me rn ik im overreacting#but i cant voluntarily expose myself to personal triggers when im already exhausted + more vulnerable than usual#so just gotta shut myself in my room and deal with it in my own super healthy ways as per usual. may they never fucking find out#trying my best not to be an asshole i hope to fucking god they dont think im being an asshole i just told them i was tired + i meant it#this wouldnt be so much of a problem if it hadnt happened to me before. and also ik its bc one rsd trigger makes me more sensitive-#to picking up unrelated cues but there ARE other things they do that i find ostracising which rly dont fucking help. but-#theyre not things i can actually confront them abt so usually i just gotta deal w it which is fine but it lowers my general tolerance#its ok. its ok i like them all a lot theyre lovely ppl and it doesnt matter if there is a some grain of truth in the things im thinking#bc the risk of me believing + acting on a bad faith irrational thought leads to outcomes that are far worse than those from#misidentifying someones malicious behaviour towards me as neutral by accident/in good faith. okay im done now i think#just ignore me spewing out the old brain gunk on main again eurgh anyway im gonna go calm myself and read and SLEEP#ill be normal by tomorrow morning farewell comrades#honestly i dont mind dealing w shit this way bc its the best option for everyone but man. sometimes its so fucking lonely#like there are sides of me ppl will never engage with and for good reason but without them being acknowledged i find it rly hard to feel-#any real emotional intimacy or closeness with another person. but what other option is there#i sure as hell dont miss the fights i used to constantly get into when i wasnt able to regulate myself i lost so many friends that way#it is what it is. on we go for now

Gonna dump thoughts here as mentioned earlier.
So, like, brain is nonstop thinking of Trevor post-Arcadia (as do we all, really) and like... how horribly psychologically skewed his perspective is.
And then I thought of all the ways it sort of... flares? Starting with, say, meeting Angela's other friends which she does have as shown in the pictures.
Thinking how he has "episodes" of doubts (such as thinking he heard the Jingle, thinking living outside of Arcadia isnt real since its too good to be true, being too exposed when out shopping, sometimes even mourning a loss of what he used to know) that has him practically spiraling.
Sometimes he gets snippy. But it always has him apologize to Angela before, during and after said episode. He's not mad at her, he's not holding her to anything... but it's still a lot.
That being said, one of the spiral episodes is when Angela keeps getting texts and calls from friends and Trevor starting to think about how he doesn't... have any sans Angela.
The last person he thought was his friend (that died no less) turned out to be an NPC that was actually super duper alive and lying to him.
Angela (after talking) decides on taking him to meet her friends, it'll do him good, really. And he's okay with it at first. He's meeting real people... he thinks.
He thinks they're all staring, just like a viewer would. Spiraling begins and oh. Oh he is not okay. They're going to judge him, maybe vote what will happen to him or whatever other bullshit scheme Vivian has for him.
Until the doubts creep up that maybe this isn't real, that maybe one or three of them are NPCs. The thoughts spiraling into hey look, again, he's the center of attention and he doesn't like it and it's just too much noise of talking and doubts and bad.
Which is not the case, they're worried for him. Angela more or less gave only the context that he is has severe social anxiety... they don't need to know that he has nearly three decades of trauma to unpack.
Absolute heart wrenching bonus if one of her friends, with zero malicious intent, accidentally made it worse by trying to help calm him and jokingly said they don't give two shits about his past, that he's safe.
And That’s Enough to have Trevor back away and panic and Angela needing to rush over and help and the friends frantically trying to apologize.
And yeah. I have thoughts lmao.

Hear me out on this please
TADC crew x itward like reader
If you want to ignore this request you can I totally understand lol
TADC cast x itward type! Reader
Imma be so real with you anon originally I was gonna save this request for later since I have ZERO ideas (funny since fran bow as a game has had a choke hold on me since it released) but then I realized I can be evil and introduce people to the game
Anyways guys go play fran bow! Or better yet theres a full fandub, as well as several lets plays on YouTube!! I also recommend little misfortune as it's made by the same creators and takes place in the same universe!
Kind of wrote this as their general thoughts and dynamic with you since I struggled a lot with thinking of romantic stuff with them, especially with characters that I dont think would like. Be interested in characters like itward
Tumblr media
CAINE:
You guys. Can talk up a storm, I think. Literally it's just you two "interrogating" one another and learning more about each other. As scared as you are of the current situation at hand, you can't help but be intrigued by everything, including the self proclaimed ring master!
Curiosity is damned, damn you curiosity/ref
Your curiosity ends up with you learning as nearly as much caine is willing to let on about the digital world...
Thinks
Two well dressed fellows, as well.. bonus if you have a red suit like itward so you kinda match with Caine
Caine loves watching you build your little machines, too, usually hovers over your shoulder
POMNI:
Sure you might not be able to fly away in a flying ship and return to the real world, but who's to say you cant make your own exit..? Possibly manipulate the code or something...! Sure you're main thing is machinery and technology, but theres usually some level of coding in there... so you and pomni team up to try to come up with a plan... honestly you probably lightly scold her when you find out she tried to leave, knowing ragatha needed help. On one hand you cant bring yourself to fully blame her, but on the other you would rather try to escape with everyone, you know? Pomni is sometimes put off by your odd nature, though... not enough to push her away from working with you though!!
RAGATHA:
You guys bond over your shared interested in sewing! You both make plushes! For you it's more so for gift giving, and for ragatha she does it to pass time! I like to think you guys both have nights where you just hang out, either in her room or yours, and just. Chat and sew! Probably finds your weirdness a little endearing in it's own way; afterall never once were you malicious, in fact you're quite kind to everyone around you and are more than willing to offer second chances even to those who dont deserve it. You and ragatha would be really good friends, I think!
JAX:
Finds your weirdness a little annoying and he probably asks you a ton of stupid questions on purpose. Probably asks a stream of dumb ones before asking one he knows will peak your interest, but insist he needs to go do something when you start answering. That aside he has probably asked if you could build him a funky little gadget (that he totally wont use for mischief).. probably tries to get all buddybuddy with you because he knows you wont give it to him for the...actual reason he wants
You personally dont hate him, but theres no real solid friendship there I think
KINGER:
Ah, the two strange father figures! Both with funky interests; kingers is bugs and yours is forks! ....okay well it's hard to combine those two interest so I guess we can use a different one, mechanics! You've definitely made kinger wind up robotic bugs before, and the fact it made him happy makes you happy! You guys both have a habit of spacing out, though on different levels and for different reasons...you both mutually keep an eye on one another, though!
You've probably dreamed of building a flying machine and escaping this place at least once, leaving with kinger. Too bad the reality isnt going to be that simple.. besides you'd bring everyone with you anyways
ZOOBLE:
honestly they get annoyed how sometimes you dont give direct answers and be vague when you're asked for a solution. It's not that you're trying to be malicious or incompetent, youre just trying to push for everyone to get creative and explore the world around them themselves, you know? Finds it a little off how you sometimes zone out, as if youre thinking about a dozen things at once... but nonetheless, zooble cant bring themselves to hate you. In fact you have this weird comforting aura around you.
GANGLE:
Youre so so nice with her and always trying to build her up. And honestly I think that's so sweet. Hugs. Give hugs! Side note I bet itward gives the most comforting hugs so by extension the reader gives the most comforting hugs!! You're always there to stand up for her, too, when people *cough cough jax* are mean to her. You probably also try to helo her make a new mask... not like "oh you help her fix her masks" no I mean like you try to make her a mask that's made of a stronger material so it's harder to break
Honestly I cant see a romantic relationship between a reader like this and gangle, I personally see it more as close friends or even found family

Your Dead AU gives me brain rot. I dunno if this was asked yet or not, but I wanted to know your thoughts on Ash’s other rivals finding out about his status as deceased. Hypothetical what-it’s if you don’t honestly see them finding out for one reason or another in canon to the AU, but I’m curious as to your thoughts on how they’d find out.
I guess I should better specify Barry, Paul, Trip, and Alain, how they’d react to Ash’s being dead?
OKAY!;
Barry doesn't believe it at all. Even when given hard definitive truth, he's under the assumption that all of this? All this deadness? It's just a cruel prank that needs to be fined for!
Paul... I imagine Paul is the one to outright calling him pathetic for dying so soon. It's both malicious in intent and not.
He wants to call Ash Pathetic, he wants to make him hurt and make him feel inferior. He wants to revel that Ash will never succeed with the methods he's going by.
But Paul isnt a cruel person by nature. The moment he says it, he's filled wih so much dread and disgust. He just called a dead person pathetic for... For DYING, nothing on his actions or movements. He's just pathetic for dying.
He avoids Ash for awhile after that. Even when Ash instigates. It's just that much level of disgust with himself. Eventually he does apologize. I can see it being at the league. When he walks up to Ash after loosing their battle and apologizes without any eyes or ears around. He's not good at it.
"That really hurt me." Ash grimaces. "Ive never been called Pathetic for Dying..."
"Im sorry you felt that way." Paul tries. "I didnt mean to say it the way i did."
Its a lot of awkward dancing before Ash realizes Paul is really Socially inept and has to clarify. It's a shitty apology for a Shitty action, but Paul is absolutely trying and Ash cannot fault him for that.
Trip. See my bias shows here because I absolutely believe Trip is 100% an asshole Racist.
But would Trip insult Ash's dead status? I think so. I think he'd sprinkle it in with all his other racists remarks. Never outright outing him, but also never letting him forget that Trip KNOWS.
And fuck if that doesnt wear Ash down. And When Iris and Cilan find out, they back Ash up without a thought but it doesnt erase how much Trip taunts how Ash died. Doesnt erase that Trip continuously makes snide remarks about it.
I think this is the one and only time Ash truly uses his own abilities and powers to make Trip HURT.
And it doesnt even give him any satisfaction! Cause Trip had successfully made him feel disgusted by his own dead status. Something mind you, he had been over for fucking YEARS, by that point!
So yeah I think Trip is the worst one and my bias will not falter.
Alain. I imagine he finds out at the BRINK of Ash getting mind controlled. And he's fucking horrified. He truly does believe that He led Ash to his death and then his partner Pikachu as well.
Just fully goes into Shock after everything calms down.
He killed someone he considered a friend.
He killed them.
And Even through soft reassurances from everyone else, it weighs so heavily on his mind. It takes Ash slapping him for him to come back to a reality where he can actually understand what their saying.
And Then Ash explains it all, how he died, how long its been, and NO Alain did not kill him, but the backstabbing was painful as shit and that would take time for Ash to get over.
Alain both believes it and doesnt, but he's still horrified his friend is fucking DEAD.

Ok, if you don't feel like drawing your story, you can always put it in text form. we won't be mad. i just want to know what happens next
hey, i understand if you didnt mean anything malicious, but please dont do this, guys. even if i change to an easier format, im still not obligated to give you guys content, and ive currently been exhausted with work and other personal projects. i may get it again at some point, but i currently have no motivation to update this blog specifically, and i heavily struggle with motivation already. i honestly thought itd be a miracle if i even got halfway through this story before losing my drive, but i wanted to try anyway.
forcing myself to create for an optional project i started for fun purely to meet demand isnt healthy for me, will result in a dramatic drop in quality for updates, and possibly ruin the story i want to tell. an unfinished story is better than a rushed and half-hearted one.
it really warms my heart how many people love this blog, and im not exaggerating when i say i read and appreciate every single ask (that isnt blatantly mean-spirited). but im a human, not a machine. if peppizza doesnt continue, its for a good reason. if peppizza does continue, it will continue with time. please think before sending asks like this, even though im pretty sure it wasnt intended to be impatient or inconsiderate, it absolutely comes off that way.
thats all for now, thank you for reading.

At a risk of being controversial: I really dont enjoy the fanon trope of making Hylia a villain. I dont claim people who do that are evil or sexist, there's obivous writing potential there and people are allowed to explore it. I personally however find it uncomfortable, and I want to speak out in case someone else feels the same and would be relieved to not be alone.
Hylia as a character is a ...fairly new addition to franchise. We first learn of her in skyward sword, a game that's story aims to explain the reincarnation cycle's excistence.
I think due to that, and how in botw we see the first canon story that potrays the cycle as bad, its easy for new and old fans to point at hylia and go: I dont trust this. (It doesnt help Hylia is connected to vague christian imaginary and people have their own issues with religion.)
Again I dont blame people for this, some fans are new, some are coping with religious trauma, and some just wanna explore the cool concept that is reincarnating heroes.
However, my discomfort comes from a few facts in this matter that I want to put out there for people to consider.
My first issue is that Hylia is not the person who started the issue. We know the evil force that is Demise existed before the cycle, and for some reason or another Hylia nor the other goddesses could not stop him. Hylia made her plan in order to seal demise away for good, and it didnt work. It just didn't work.
It doesnt matter if demise cursed the reincarnation thing or if Hylia decided it'd repeat forever. The fact is that theres a malicious unquestionably evil force that a goddess tried to stop and failed.
You can dislike her plan all you want, but hindsight is 20/20 and all that—
Okay, breather, I am passionate about this but I know my opinion isnt the objective fact. Maybe Hylia could stop this cycle and try something else, maybe she is inhuman in mind and spirit and doesnt comprehend the horrors she has caused. We don't know and you can fill these blanks as you see fit.
But uhm, this does bring me to my second opinion, which might be harder to take seriously it you're disagreeing with this post already.
I think there's sexism around how fans treat Zelda and Hylia, not helped at all by Nintendo's own actions.
I see people be put off by skyward sword Zelda, perhaps writing her unemphatic and clueless of Link's battles to find her. So much so that we ignore the fact she too was ripped from home, told she has to be someone else, and forced to drag her best friend along so the world wouldnt end. She is a victim too, but why do we forget this?
In my opinion it's partly due to the bad writing of women Nintendo keeps doing. Zelda is written so... perfect. Nintendo refuses to aknowledge her flaws as a person and instead is like look how pretty she is, she apologises and Link forgives her, so you should too! ...When, if you dont do so, it feels like you're being manipulated or dismissed whenever she is on screen.
An issue that repeats with Hylia as well. With many Zeldas in many games.
To react to that tonal dissonance with writing Zelda/Hylia as evil is... normal, I think. I don't blame people for feeling that way.
But,, That seems unfair to me. A female character with potential to be complex and good was failed by the writers, and now we as fans continue from that point with making her even worse.
I dont dislike fans who do this, you're just participating in fandom the way you see fit, but I cant enjoy it, it makes me upset. These women are not evil, Link isn't the only character being hurt deeply, and if you could please consider female characters beyond how they hurt ya boy, I'd be so relieved.
...
I'll repeat what I said at the start, I dont claim people who do this are evil or sexist. People are having fun in fandom, and ngl demise sucks as a villain and Hylia is way more interesting to explore.
I just... I think its worth asking yourself why her. Why you don't or do like Zelda. Engaging in things you love with an analytic eye is genuinely good for you and the media you're enjoying.
This in no means is meant to come off as an attack, Im just requesting we look at another angle of things, maybe just to say we did.
I uh, thanks for reading.

crumb, what’s your opinion on Mia Winters, ethan’s wife
OKAY… PLEASE DO NOT GIVE ME HATRED FOR THIS….
BUT SHE IS A BIT BAD…
I AM SORRY…
i lauve her, i lauve every character (except lucas) they r all my beloveds
BUT, that doesnt mean i think they r all perfect characters that have never done wrong
i know there a lot of argument about mia being a good wife or not and please do not take this the wrong way
she defiently loved ethan, A LOT too, she loved and cared about her family a lot
her problem is the job she decided to have in the first place
she decided to work for a criminal organization, it doesnt matter what part she played the important thing is she is literally willingly participating in working for the connections whether it be research or “handling” evie
she also lies to ethan, like alot
its pretty sad but we know she doesnt do it with malicious intent
shes doing it because she loved him and wanted to keep him safe but no matter what her intentions were it still got him killed
she also does not learn from it and CONTINUES to lie to ethan after re7 which leads to him dying two more times
mia obviously cares about ethan, and id never say she didnt love him but she defiently did treat things very poorly
u COULD blame ethan for going to search for his wife in the first place but like what kind of argument is that
ethan is a good husband who loved his wife so much he kept searching for her even after 3 whole years of no leads
the only thing ethan did wrong in their relationship was trust mia and he should have been able to do that without consequences in the first place
mia does not want to talk about what is happening to ethan. she keeps him in the dark and “blows up at him” when he even mentions it
Tumblr media
im 100% without a doubt sure that they love each other so much and probably had a wonderful relationship pre re7, but after everything that happens and with the continued lack of communication, i feel like mia was just not that great
not to say that she was a horrible woman who did nothing but cause problems for ethan because he obviously still has wonderful memories with her after re7
but in the end, my opinion is that mia isnt some damsel in distress that was only a victim
she lived through the consequences of her own actions, she decided to work with the connections, she decided to contribute to the creation and abuse of eveline
re7 and re8 mainly stem from what mia has done and leaves ethan behind trying to fix it and it literally kills him in the process
im really sad we couldnt learn more about her and the chance of us learning anything in the future is really slim so its disappointing
thats my take on mia! i hope this does not upset anyone (i am very sorry if it does)
i love to make art of them being lovey dovey but i can only ever imagine it taking place before re7, im sorry!

maybe a dense shy reader who isnt able to tell percy is in love with them until he literally has to announce it in front of everyone during dinner. embarrassment from both parts. but after they get some alone time to talk things over? first confessions/kisses maybe too? 🥺 hope you are well i love your writing <333333
Ohmygod 😆 nothing like a Percy confession 🤍💙
Tumblr media
Would include….
Boy is a whole flustered mess around you
Granted he’s REALLY good at hiding it, but everyone sees how his eyes just follow you
Sure he’s fantasized about it, you; but the thought of actually finally confessing induces so many nerves
Why should he be afraid?! been through possession, tyrants, demons and now dragons!
Of course he hopes you catch on to his advances when he goes out of his way to do something for you (cook, protect you, give his coat, etc.)
But alas you’re oblivious, not really by choice. You just think it’s sweet you all care for each other, especially Percy right now
Man’s is struggling on the inside and he knows it’s not you being malicious
After the events in the Matron’s Tomb, he can’t hold it back any longer! It just had to come out!
And off all places at you night side fire
“I have something to say!!! Y/N!!! I have feelings for you! And I have for a long time!”
His breath is shuddering, face redder than wine, chest hammering, all of it!
You’re more awestruck at his confession than being put on the spot
“Percy! I-I didn’t know-I! Wow, I feel for you too, I just didn’t know what to say—.”
It’s chaos that ensues, but more of a good chaos with everyone else ribbing Percy about him being impulsive and then the whole love confession
Even Vax’s sternness melts away for a good while

starlightmeadowbloom has a tendency to hound people to read their fanfic so that people can make art of it. Just so you are aware.
It’s in all likelihood that they are constantly asking you to read their fanfic so that you can make art if it
i've heard and in that case, i regretly gonna inform that kind of approach is just going to put people off, and totally will backfire the more people are hounding me about something like this the LESS i want to do it. in that case, my advice is, Please FUCKING DO NOT. CEASE. unless you wanna get hated so fucking badly for some reason.(not you twilight, it's for those who still think being pushy like this is ok, no it is not, it's fucking annoying) dont chase people, let them come to your work first, DONT FORCE YOUR WORK ON OTHERS. lack of interest doesnt mean "i should try harder", NO that means leave them alone!, they can turn from just neutral to dislike very fast especially if you're not the kind of person who can take a NO. i know it feels like you're really made it when famous big name artists are drawing and liking your fic. if you're lucky, they will but realistically that cant always happen. I assure you the fic isnt worth any less if it's not drawn by more popular artists, hell if you already have close friends constantly drawing for your fic, cherish them! are their contributions not enough??? (why even me i dont even think i am that popular anyway! i hope she doesnt do the same to other artists, we hate it if we were made to feel like we're NOTHING BUT drawing tools!) i have personal experience with someone in the past who gets super pushy with their fic, and whoo boy i do wanna give benefit of doubt at first and in the end it just got worse and worse, the persistence become more desperate and annoying and all the guilt tripping comes out and my only regret is that i didnt destroy this person any further. (fyi i just got more info that this person is still doing their shit, and even worse, good fucking grief) also ps : this person i met before has a "loyal army" of "friends" that will HARASS anyone who doesn't like their fic so yeah that's hmmmm. is this post of mine here gonna lead to a repeat of that? sadly i don't think the probability will be zero…but absolutely NOT the way to make people gonna suddenly like your friend's fic, kiddos~ i DO NOT appreciate being pushed, pressure or harassed and guilt tripped to liking something that i am not into. it might not be at that point yet for now in this situation but how am i gonna know that it wont escalate to that level? NO is NO even in this situation. if people are not interested, do NOT force it. being desperate is only gonna make people hate you , is that what you want? ask yourself, is that really what you want?
please understand that not everyone is gonna like what you put out there and that is ok. it doesnt always mean what you make is bad, sometimes because it's just niche and not people's cup of tea. if you make it personal i guarantee as fuck we're gonna make it personal too. so i'm warning you and others who still think of doing this shit now. CEASE. FUCKING CEASE. STOP
i am feeling still neutral at her fic she's trying to push constantly on others at this point, i admit i dont know enough about the content to judge, just doesnt feel like my cup of tea. nothing personal. (disclaimer this doesnt mean bad, just doesnt feel like my thing) BUT if the pushiness is still persists, that might change...and NOT in the good direction. i am truly SICK at this attitude at this point but i also know that if it was never told, no one will know and nothing will be learned. i know sometimes there's no malicious intent and it's not something people are aware on how other people take it when they're acting like this. so i have to tell now why all this "i should try harder to make everyone like my fic even if they arent interested yet i should try harder till they will" is NOT GOING TO WORK

Toga and her happy ending
I think after taking some time to process the latest chapter I can finally verbalize what feels wrong about it. First, I think it’s really good to be hopeful that Toga isnt dead, but I also feel like a lot of the fandom right now is trying to not think about Toga being dead because if she truly is then they might end up like how I’m feeling. So, let’s just say hypothetically she is like truly, really dead without a shadow of doubt. 
Now, The first Issue I see with this writing is that it arguably goes against the themes of the story. In order to make a better society, our heroes need to be able to win AND save (hehe Bakugo and Deku at the core of the story once again). Otherwise, saving the league would feel hollow. So, Ochako DID win the fight between her and Toga by talking toga down from the edge and bringing out the goodness in her. But did she save her? 
I would argue no. 
Toga may be able to go out “her way”, but she still ends up dying before taking any further steps to heal and find her place as her authentic self within society. Ochako thinks she has a cute smile, but will everyone else? We are stripped of the negotiation process to get Toga the proper help she needs instead of throwing her in jail. We are deprived of Ochako standing up for her and helping her finally be the happy schoolgirl Toga always wanted to be, without the mask this time. We, the audience, are denied of seeing toga take accountability for her actions. Therefore, while Ochako may have saved Toga on a one-to-one level, and she still deserves credit for that btw, Toga ultimately died without witnessing society as a whole changing for the better. She was not saved— She was only helped… and is that a satisfying conclusion after years of buildup? After all the work to make Ochako come to value winning AND saving of everyone? Is that satisfying?
The fact that so many people refuse to believe Toga is dead points to this.
Tumblr media
One more thing I would want to add here is a comparison to another member of the lead, someone that I have seen a lot of members of the fandom fight back against the notion that they should die. That character is Tomura Shigaraki. I’ve seen people say that Tomura should die in a sacrificial way in order to redeem himself, but then in response many fans push back and speak about how that wouldn’t solve any of Shigaraki’s problems and instead it would only leave shigaraki in a state of limbo in terms of reaching a satisfying and logical conclusion for him. Deku wouldn’t have achieved his goal to the fullest extent, society wouldn’t get to accept Tomura and show that even he is design of forgiveness after what he was put through, and we wouldn’t get to see how a reformed hero society would handle the league of villains moving forward. Sound familiar? My point in bringing this up is to show that it seemingly doesn’t make sense how you can argue how one villain should survive while the other should die because either way the death of one villain, even if it’s a heroic sacrifice, is still an incomplete rescue. It’s still an incomplete narrative, as it had framed itself to be a hopeful one, despite all the dark aspects. So, let’s just keep that in mind. 
My next point is going to be a heavy one, so buckle up. Let’s keep going with the hypothetical of Toga being really, truly dead, ok? Toga being dead has so many implications and undertones.  You can make an argument for, if she is the only league member that dies, how she is written in an upsetting way as both the only woman and canonically queer member of the league. Furthermore, the ‘Bury Your Gays’ trope is defined by killing off LGBTQ characters at an alarmingly higher rate than their heterosexual peers, and their death is usually because they entered some sort of queer relationship, or if someone has to die it might as well be the queer one. Am I saying that Horikoshi has malicious intent and hates queer people in stories? ABSOLUTELY NOT. DO NOT GO AND HARASS THE MAN BECAUSE IT ACCOMPLISHES NOTHING. But, there could be some internal bias because of Japanese society as a whole’s view of queer people. There also could be some push from editors to kill the queer character for this exact reason. Of course, this is all speculation and it’s not ok to jump to conclusions and assume the worst of writers. But Toga meant something to people. She meant something to queer people. If the reformed hero society could accept Toga for who she is, then wouldn’t that include her queerness? In a world where homophobia is increasing again at an alarming rate, kids need to see that being queer doesn’t mean that they have to be the “villain” in society’s eyes. Queer people deserve saving. But as my previous point discussed, Toga was not fully saved. Queer kids reading the manga will not get to see how Toga could find her sense of belonging in society while still living her truth. The queer subtext behind her relationship with Ochako will end in of of their deaths. Therefore, as someone with experience with living in a homophobic household and having to hide themselves, this does not feel like a happy ending.
Furthermore, I’m going to make another comparison just like I did in my previous point. But this time, I’m going to use a character from a different franchise that also involves superhero’s and is a heavy inspiration for Horikoshi’s writing. That character is Black Widow from the MCU. She was a beloved character, but often underutilized by the writers. The only female member of the avengers, Black Widow was often sexualized and used as the object of desire out of the bunch. She was badass, but always tied to her male counterparts. She was not allowed to exist without the other male avengers around. This was the pattern of her character writing for many years, up until Avengers: Endgame premiered. When that movie came out, Blackwidow played a key role… that role was to sacrifice herself. She did this so that her best friend, Hawkeye, wouldn’t have to sacrifice himself instead. He didn’t want her to sacrifice herself. He was fine with dying and tried to stop her. But despite his efforts, Blackwidow still sacrificed herself and died. This happened before she could get her own movie, and specifically before she could confront her past trauma and heal from it. She went out her way on her terms, but the audience still lost the vital piece of representation that she gave to the avengers and still suffered from never seeing Blackwidow’s character get to heal and overcome her pain. Does all of this once again sound familiar? Women often are the first to get hurt or die out of their hero or villain groups in the superhero genre. One good thing about Toga, however, is that she died alongside another female companion. A well written relationship between two women was front in center, instead of one between a man and woman. Despite that, however, Toga was often used as the sexualized member of the league and tended to revolve around Izuku a lot, just like Blackwidow. That is why it was amazing to see her bond with Ochako, and then devastating to have that taken away without letting the audience witness Toga’s complete healing.
Therefore, dying “your own way”, is only empowering if the female character had already had time to complete their character arc and heal their trauma in the same way that their male peers were allowed. Otherwise, it feels fake.

This chapter was overall amazingly well written. I enjoyed it a lot. Honestly, I enjoy MHA as a whole a lot!!! I’ve hyper-fixated on this story and tis characters a lot, and have a lot of faith in Horikoshi as a writer. I have no doubt that he’ll do a great job writing the other characters in this final arc give the audience a satisfying conclusion. I also hope that I’m proven wrong and somehow Toga ends up ok.
But the ending reminded me of how far writing has to go in order to accurately portray the female and queer experience, and to give such characters hopeful endings like everyone else. Toga deserves to find  acceptance. She deserves to find love from society as a whole, not just Ochako. 
Toga Himiko deserves a happy ending. Queer women deserve happy endings too.

Sorry to be a downer, everyone. If you want a more hopeful meta for this chapter, then please go check out @pikahlua’s blog because their meta on this chapter was spectacular and mind blowing.

I think people giving "unhelpful" advise is looked at way too harshly by a lot of ppl woth disabilities. (I wont pretend its never irked me, but i still dont think it being annoying makes being a jerk okay)
Whether it's the "try going for walks" or "keep your living space clean" or whatever.
People get mad bc "it's not that easy" but... that doesnt mean the advise is wrong or coming from a bad place? I feel like when ppl get pissy abt this is honestly just it seem like *they* are unable to consider other ppls perspectives more than the othwr way around.
Like... idk. Person A offering advice didn't fully think it through maybe but i feel like thats vastly preferable than person B lashing out bc they got annoyed and dont care that the other person was acting in good will.
Note: there is an acception to this when its Directly pointed at someone in a 1 on 1 talk (esp in person/ if its someone you know irl) and they Know that isnt smn you can just Do. Mostly talking abt *strangers* trying to be helpful in generic ways.
Yeah no, I actually disagree with this one. I get where you're coming from, but I really don't think it's on disabled/ill people to kindly accept unhelpful, condescending advice they didn't ask for. I actually think it's really important to talk about how such advice is usually inappropriate and unhelpful, if not actively ableist and triggering, so that the people with good intentions can stop doing this. As an alternative to just accepting it simply because people's intentions aren't necessarily malicious.

i personally have been thinking a lot abt the "share your pronouns" thing (not specifically bc of this anon just in general) and like. to me i think people pin a lot of blame on nonbinary people for something that isnt my fault. to be respected and seen i will ALWAYS have to out myself - neither being stealth nor the closet are an option for me. but you... when you use he or she pronouns you can still be stealth while making the environment youre in safe and comfortable for nonbinary people just by saying "im [name] i use he pronouns". it establishes not that youre trans, necessarily, but that you know that anyone around you could be nonbinary. that trans doesnt have a "look". i mean. since hes saying stuff like "fake trans" idk that he cares necessarily about that but...
ive talked abt this w my transmasc and transfem friends so like. i know the perspective anons probably coming from. it isnt my fault that transphobic people use gender neutrality in language to hurt trans people. it isnt my fault that cis people will ask for your pronouns when they think they've clocked you. it isnt my fault that i exist the way that i do. sharing my pronouns is a necessity; there is no assumption that is correct for me. and that *hurts*
anyways i admire ur compassion and patience a lot, i hope anon gets better soon
Conflicting needs will always exist in our community!! And also though - There is quite literally always the option to "answer like a cis person" if someone is deeply concerned about being stealth. It's not fun, but that option is absolutely available if someone needs to be stealth.
Especially because sharing pronouns isn't anything more than asking someone how they like to be addressed. Their whole purpose is to fill in a place of address in a sentence so you don't repeat someone's name over and over to the point of sounding like Elmo. It can be used to clock people or out people and people can absolutely be malicious with it, but it's not the fault of trans people that transphobic people do that.
Like, you are absolutely correct because once again: the burden of the harmful system does not fall upon the ones being harmed. The burden instead falls upon the people perpetuating the system. Transphobic people cause transphobia, not trans people attempting to just live their lives.
I also understand the desire to pass and not be clocked and to be treated like a "normal" man. But the unfortunate truth is that... isn't reality and probably won't be in our lifetimes. So then your options become "lash out because I'm angry about this" or "work towards solutions so no one else has to feel this way after me".
The fact of the matter is the normalization of nonbinary identities in general and the normalization of asking for pronouns in group settings is a real solution that can help the most people in the long run. It puts cis people, binary trans people, and nonbinary trans people all on the same playing field. The practice still needs to actually be fully integrated into our social practices, but we're still in the awkward beginning stages of it. It's good to be realistic about that, because sometimes you have to think about both people outside of yourself and the future.
It is ultimately a good thing and I'm sorry you are harmed by the backlash to it anon.
