80 million sub-mediocre male fantasy harem anime and not a single one has had the guts to be bisexual yet. not even a crossdressing femboy? production studios really think most guys are more willing to fuck their own sisters than they are to fuck their male best friend in a skirt? get real

[the-prince-of-the-ravens]

i’m sorry but people calling Wiress, Mags, and Beetee fanservice baffle me. Beetee in particular. like sorry. you think Suzanne Collins wrote about his 12 year old son being chosen for the hunger games and Beetee being forced to watch as his son was prepared for slaughter and then subsequently devoured by mutts that left his skeleton picked clean. because she wanted to add fanservice???? whatever i guess!

I still think about my mutuals tag where he said that he thinks Johnny feels so much and so deeply that it literally drove him crazy. And yeah. Just think about it constantly. It's. The statement I associate with him. The first thing I think of when I think of him.

I really, really, really dislike when people paint Johnny as this totally unfeeling asshole. Or at least, I heavily disagree with it. That's not to say he isn't an asshole, he 100% is. He's a jerk to the people around him, and of course there really is no excuse for how he treats people. But explanations =/= excuses.

I feel when people try to paint him that way, it comes from a place that lacks understanding or even an unwillingness to understand. This goes hand in hand where I'll see these people call him an unfeeling asshole while using terms associated with cluster b disorders and using the social weight they carry to demonize him, a very prevalent problem reflected in society and internet pop psychology culture.

They'll take the fact he's a 'narcissistic junkie', and not only at the same time use it to demonize people with NPD, but also drug users. It's just a very lazy way to paint a picture of his characterization, by using loaded terms as a crutch and letting their social weight, using yours and others people's biases, do the job for you. Like man, if you're going to make a critique of his character can we at least actually put some effort behind it.

Like. They think he's a user who's an unfeeling asshole to people just for the sake of being one. They see him engaging in these self endangering, self harming, self sabotaging behaviors and brush it off as nothing more than him being like that simply because he likes it, that he relishes in it even. Simply because he wants and chooses to be like that.

They don't see him using as a way of numbing himself (this especially with the fact drugs are the first thing he goes for when Alt breaks it off with him). They don't see that constant toxic push and pull in his relationships as self sabotage. They don't see the fact him going on that OP was a suicide mission. Literally.

I truly believe he never intended to come back from that mission, evident in his last exchange with Kerry, evident in a LOT of his own lyrics. (Black Dog, Ballad of Buck Ravers.)

Johnny clearly is passionate. He clearly has things he cares about. He clearly feels.

I'd even go so far as to say he genuinely does care about the people in his life, he just simply doesn't know how to show it properly or in a way that's healthy for anyone involved. Even when Alt breaks up with him, and he pushes her away for it, he still ends up chasing after her before she's even left the venue. He still tries to protect her. When Alt gets abducted, and yeah, he's being a leadheaded stubborn idiot about it, he still goes after her.

And even if it's self aggrandizing in a lot of ways, he still cares about her life enough to raid a whole fucking tower for her. Even if it's more in the view of what Arasaka took from him, than what it did to her, he still cares about her in his own way. He still grieves her. He's still broken up when she dies right in front of him, and he still acts out even if it's violent and angry. His grief has ALWAYS manifested this way.

When he sees the headlines about Kerry, he asks V to check up on him, to visit him. He even asks Kerry about it because (I think) it came from a place of genuine worry shown the best way he can show it, a straightforward question and dropping it when he gets an answer, no matter how truthful the answer is. When Kerry gets the idea for a one time reunion, Johnny agrees to it because he thinks 'Kerry needs this'.

I also think people see that he's a very angry person and attribute 'unfeeling' to that. Because to them, to a lot of people, anger isn't a valid emotion nor one with as much value as happiness or sadness. That's it's something less than. Even if anger was all he felt, it's still a feeling. He still feels it. He still feels.

His anger, though it's execution is obviously a problem, it's extremely fucking justified and valid. It's born from the mistreatment of a system that only destroys people's lives. Born from a system that only knows how to take, how to hurt, how to kill.

The same system that took, not just a literal piece of Johnny, but so many pieces of his identity and his life that he literally tries to project himself as an entirely new person to escape this.

Johnny cares about how the system treats people, especially people like him. How it uses people and chews them up and discards them when it's taken all it can from them. Johnny cares so much he becomes not just a voice, but thinks he is- and in a lot of ways he does really become one- a symbol for people like him.

That OP functioned as another rescue mission for Alt, another statement for his ideals, and his blaze of glory to go out on his own terms.

Johnny cares about things. Johnny cares about people. He has feelings. Complicated, convoluted, deeply traumatized feelings. Feelings that are so intense, that it harms him. Feelings that are so intense, that it bleeds from him and harms others, too.

And honestly, I'd say the one and only person he stopped truly caring about was himself. A long, long time ago.

Idk why everyone clung so hard to the "he's my boy" speech as THE early c2 nott talking about caleb scene when "so he can save me" was 2 episodes earlier and was a much bigger development also it's just soooo juicy like the intensity in her voice the kinda fucked up context of molly charming her the dependency of it all aaaauhggh

rdr fan culture is playing the game, looking at so many posts, and reading so much fanfiction that arthur’s dialect unironically starts slipping into your every day vernacular

[mayxo-hxh]

People who think Illumi is serious 24/7 and portray him as such drive me crazy have u seen that goofy ass man... Hes sarcastic and jokes in a twisted sense of humor only he gets all the time and he literally says "Yo" to greet people he's serious when needs to be but he is GOOFY

Like look at this guy. Goofy as fuck

I think the biggest giveaway to his goofiness is gittarackur. Out of all persona disguises to create he created the goofiest man that is always smiling and twitching and cracking when he moves like come on now. He is so very not serious

LIKE EVEN HISOKA SEES HIM AS A SILLY GUY LOOK AT HOW HE DEPICTS HIM IN HIS TOY BOX. SILLY BOY :33333

[ cw: assumed death / assumed sibling death / assumed child death / solitude ]

Thinking about Leo being trapped in the Prison Dimension and keeping himself warm through the power of his own ninpo - this ability is shown to us as a flame, after all, so imagine if, when he lets his mystic energy run through him, it warms him up, just a little.

In this desolate place, all cold and alone, he focuses on that flame and leans into its warmth.

He relies on it, and he realizes it that he’d relied on it too much when it goes out, and he’s once again cold.

(In another dimension, the Hamatos believe they lost one of their own.)

[or-echo]

i think that he likes classic literature or something.

[sockfus]

people always be talking and writing about how zuko is the one who would push sokka away if they were in a relationship but NO. you are all wrong. zuko is so happy to be in love and have sokka just with him that he tries to keep him close no matter what because he's so happy with sokka, he's the one giggling and kicking his feet but sokka is terrified, hes like "oh fuck." i mean which dude saw one of his girlfriends die infront of him and his other one get captured and BOTH TIMES he thought it was his fault. the boy literally tried doing the same to suki after yue's death! he's got so much relationship baggage he's so terrified that something will happen to zuko and it'll all be his fault and so that is why sokka would be the one to push zuko away, if anyone was to do it

Mouth foaming, biting gnashing have you guys ever thought about the fact davesprite still identifies as Dave and the only real reason Hal doesn’t is because he was muscled out of that identity slowly and gradually by necessity alone. If given the leniency not to change his text colors and to choose his own name early on chances are he’d have kept Orange and stuck with what he’d been called for the first thirteen years of his life, but he didn’t get a choice and circumstances demanded easy identification and well. Dirk sure as fuck wasn’t gonna be the one making changes, and Hal couldn’t argue with that when he’s literally shades and code.

I don’t think he’s aware of this and I think he’s probably comfortable in the identity he’s made for himself now, especially in distancing himself from Dirk as an identity— but I catch myself wondering if, when given the leniency and kindness to choose his means of self expression, would the AR choose to follow the identity he’d had all his life? Would he really opt to identify as someone else, and if so, would it be more of a mask for the first few years? Would he always feel, deep down, like he was Dirk who had a nickname?

I know Hal is his own person now, but I think he has also been Dirk for a long time before he became this new identity. In the same way I am not the person I was in highschool, but that person is still always me. In the way that we are not who we were as teenagers, but they are us. He is not Dirk anymore, but looking back at points in his existence there is a period where it would be incorrect to view himself as ‘Hal’ and the name he associates with it is ‘Dirk.’ He isn’t Dirk, but Dirk(AR) was him.

The view from others being:

AR begins existing -> AR begins identifying in Red Text -> AR is now referred to as Hal

But the view from himself being:

Is Dirk in the process of creating an AI -> is Dirk in the form of an AI referred to by others as AR -> Is Dirk in the form of an AI using red text, referred to as AR -> Is Dirk in the form of an AI, referred to initially jokingly as Hal, this is a nickname in some capacity -> Is Hal, an AI that was at one point Dirk, but is no longer this person.

Does that make any sense. I am going insane.

Sam talks about Jacob being 'an exceptional person' and answers what would have happened if Dale interviewed Lestat and whether or not Dale and Louis would be "friends" in The Emsolation Podcast Extras!

Note: Unf this is not the complete video where he answears that question(s). I had to edit it with a few excerpts i found so it might not make much sense. if someone put the whole segment of this question(s) i will edit this with that video

Source: The Emsolation Podcast - Sam Reid talks the FINAL season of The Newsreader, urvampiregirls, loustatsoup, comeappraiseme and pixielayer

------

Him saying that he can't imagine Louis giving two f*cks about Dale 😞 Well the fanfics says otherwise 🙃 i am really surprised they didn't told im about the Louis x Dale fanfics on AO3 🤣

i cant find the tweet now but i swear that i saw someone one twitter saying that Michael Lucas and the lady in the video talked about it a few weeks ago in one of The Emsolation podcast eps.

Anyway, it's funny that Lestat possessed him both times: one (where Sam clearly was able to control him) where he was totally down to the idea of f*cking Dale and in the other where he cant stand the idea of Louis f*cking Dale (Lestat you fake poly. A cheater is what you are) I didn't believed 100% in the Lestat possession allegations until i watch this 🤯

Compilation of random hakuoki stuff ive done over the last month because ive been replaying the games👍

idk if anyone sees my visions here idek if theres a fandom here ?? hey guys😌

[hysteriawysteria]

Kinda crazy how popular deuace would be if the ace novels werent such a niche piece of one piece lore, like if they were made into the next movie I think they would probably become like one of the top ships in the fandom, they have such a doomed by the narrative kind of relationship that I know alot of people would eat up if presented with it.
