#<- insane and boring take

[un-pearable]

insane take from r/pokémon today re: pikachu’s headshape . promotional artwork is more canon than the way the character appears in the actual video game . what wrong with you

[needlesknick-knacks]

my 'hottest' dc take is that dickbabs and dickkori are both interesting, complex ships which can be written to have one be endgame/one break up without reducing/mischaracterising any of the characters involved. It literally comes down to personal preference on which you like better. Can we stop fighting (and give babs and kori solo runs please)

every time ren doesn’t get paired with false in a hermit ensemble fic post 2023 an angel loses its wings and 5 mins of twaddle gets added to the next falseren vod. i am so serious. their dynamic grew and changed during/after blue river raceway because dynamics can grow and change. your ren is ooc sorry.

genuinely if you erase false you erase at least 50% of ren’s characterisation and it’s the most important 50% because it’s the 50% that gets left behind in fanon characterisation. I wouldn’t be so mad if people thoughtfully characterised ren beyond making him a dramatic gay simp husband. his love for infrastructure, his cheek, his little shit behaviour, his determination, his sincerity, his way of playing for the team, his playfulness, his casual competitiveness, his insecurity which morphs into self sacrifice, the way he loves, the way he makes exceptions only for her. “what am i going to do without you” “teach me how to people”. ren’s hermitcraft isn’t ren’s hermitcraft without false. ren is ooc without any reference to false. he weaves her in his stories. she leaves fingerprints all over him and he provides her with the paint.

For anyone who missed when I talked about this, I’m organizing a low stakes mini zine for princess tutu. Soley because our tag is SO EMPTY rn and I want to generate an event in the fandom.

Planning for a tentative release in September so it can be like a fun summer tutu event but I’m workshopping this with a friend who knows more about zines than I do—release date can be pushed back if needed.

Any and all contributors are welcome (since it’ll be a pdf I don’t foresee needing a set page count so anything goes) though I will be checking in with everyone to make sure their pitches are appropriate for the zine (and by that I mean do NOT make me look at the teenagers having hardcore sex pls and thank you)

Finally I wanted to throw this out there:

Feel free to send me your ideas on how to make this a fun event for everyone. Whether that’s gamifying it by like assigning people teams or giving out silly rewards (I desperately want to make an ultimate #fakirgirl badge/sticker for our bravest soldiers) or I don’t know, making themed sections of the zine so we have a part where people say pick a fairytale they like to theme their piece around. We’re in the planning phase so no idea is a bad idea

I just want this to be a fun, collaborative project so we can come together as a fandom and enjoy a show we love

a lot of people's idea of criticism is "how dare these characters have biased feelings" or "how dare the plot not go the way I want it to"

thinking about kurapika and chrollo and parallels and this circle of horrors where they are the victims AND the tools of their fates.

they both think they are neither or more like they don't care about it at all. they don't see themselves as victims, and they see absolutely no other way to live other than this role they took upon themselves. kurapika had such a strong sense of identity and what he wanted to do with his life and understands himself perfectly at all times. he was a part of his clan, but he was more an individual than anything else. kuroro, on the other hand, never knowing, never thinking what his motives are, deliberately not understanding himself and desperately holding on to the spider. he can't be an individual but with others, he can be the spider.

and for both of them, it all started on vengeance. kurapika abandoned himself in order to become a tool, a weapon, to avenge his clan, and to collect scarlet eyes. he stopped being himself and became his people. kuroro didn't know his family, didn't know where he actually came from, didn't know who he was or what he was supposed to be. so growing up in meteor city, he held on to his people strongly. and in order to avenge and protect his people, he would become a tool, a weapon, he would give himself to them. he started being himself as he became his people.

kuroro could be something for his people. and kurapika could be nothing for his people.

kurapika took on the role of judgement for vengeance. kuroro took on the role of villain for vengeance. kurapika acted his part by diminishing everything he was, and kuroro acted his part by filling up his identity with it.

but one thing stays clear and fixed with them throughout it all. they would do anything for their people. for whomever they consider their people. "he'll put his friends before his mission." a weakness kuroro sees in kurapika so quickly and so easily. but the same thing he considers a strength in himself. "i am not your top priority. it is the spider that must be kept alive." as long as his people are alive, his identity will live on. and as long as kurapika is alive, his people’s identity will live on.

"now you will get to experience the pain of losing your home." kuroro (and the spiders) killing the kurta clan set this parallel in motion for himself as the circle began for kurapika. and (speculatively) kurta clan hurting his people was what set the circle in motion for kuroro, too. now thinking about where they are in the story and how their end could be, it is very clear that they are finally ending up in a place where they mirror each other (as they have from the beginning) and they can recognise it in each other and themselves. kurapika ending up empty after his mission and kuroro ending up empty after losing spiders. both of them purposeless and with no self left outside of it. in a way, this is how the circle ends. "i can hear that he accepted death." they walk with death every day with no fear and full acceptance and after losing the only thing they live for, not even something they hold on to because they don't see a point in being alive outside of the fact that they must keep going for their people, for their purpose, and if not then there's no reason to exist, they are meaningless.

kuroro's vengeance left kurapika all alone, with everyone he knew dead, and feeling hollow at the end. by fate, he ended up all alone, with everyone he knew dead and feeling hollow at the end.

and at that point, they will have to start a new page and build a new self for themselves.

listen I just can’t find fault with a candy person for finding something that unexpectedly brings them joy and doing everything in their power to make it keep happening. I just can’t find it in me to blame them for wanting the approval of the person they love and respect more than anyone else, and wanting that approval over and over again, and I just straight up can’t blame james for figuring out a trick to make his princess smile and call him her hero. like, banana guards get her praise and approval and hugs all the time, but he’s just some random engineer with an easy smile and no one who wants to hang out with him after work. and she likes him so much, she wants him in her kingdom, even when he goes and does something stupid like push her out of the way of a super dangerous not-moving car, at the cost of his own life, she wants him back and she’ll bring him back and she'll tell him that was very brave and she loves him. of course she loves him. she loves all the candy people. but he figured out how to make her look him in the eyes and say it and give him material evidence of her pride. I can’t find it in myself to blame him for that. it wasn't good, i don't think he should have been left unchecked to keep going forever, but i can't blame him for wanting to keep reliving the nice thing that happened once. the really nice thing that happened once that came with material gifts. if she didn’t want to keep doing it she would’ve stopped LONG before there were TWENTY FIVE of them. before she was so fed up that she didn’t even spare him a kind goodbye or a chance to go home one more time.

like you’re not beating the dystopian dictatorship allegations. saying she was right to exile him from the only home he’s ever known with no recourse because he was acting weird. and the thing is, I just can’t find it in me to blame a character living in a dictatorship for getting himself into a situation because he was desperately trying to be happy the best way he could figure out how. I’m not saying he was right, he’s insane, but it just rubs me wrong, the idea that he is the one holding all this heavy blame. the idea that the princess is right to look down at him and shake her head firmly and turn him out in the cold. for chasing the rush that she gave him willingly, over and over, without any specific end parameters. for not being able to make friends, and doing something weird about it. he’s bored and lonely and this works and it’s not, inherently, bad. it really isn’t. it’s batshit, but it’s actually not hurting anyone at all.

I love kagehina but I'm also a kenhina believer too. Like I think kenma was hinata's gay awakening and he had a big stupid unrequited crush on him for most of his first year until kenma finally had to let him down easy after months of super obvious pining. I think they also had something post timeskip too, hinata's high school crush immediately came back after seeing timeskip kenma and kenma see's him in a new light and maybe they had a little fling before hinata reconnected with kageyama.

like people are taking bakugou’s pov at face value too much and acting like this is the last time bakudeku will ever see each other when. no…..? people are talking about how these chapters have mischaracterized izuku when THEY ARE THE ONES DOING IT and it’s actually making me so irritated. no izuku isn’t abandoning him, he’s just taking his own hero path and doing it the way he wants to do it. he doesn’t want to work under katsuki’s agency. he wants to pave his own path. he wants to be his own hero. that’s been his whole thing the entire time. but it is not him completely DITCHING KATSUKI FOREVER. THAT IS NOT HOW IZUKU WORKS AS A CHARACTER, REGARDLESS IF IZUOCHA IS CANON OR NOT ooooohhh y’all piss me off bad
