#I also find it funny when folks just @ me at random posts that seem relevant to my interests

[canisalbus]

If someone wants to give you art, what's the best way? Just @ you in the post or sending a message/ ask with a link?

Either way is fine! Mentioning/tagging me directly makes it more likely that I see the post, but that doesn't always work and sometimes I don't receive a notification even if I should. Sending an ask or a DM with a link is alright as well.

I'm extremely grateful for the gift art I receive and I absolutely love seeing my characters depicted in other people's styles. But I should mention that I can be very slow to comment/reblog. Not always but it's a thing I consistently fail at. I have some kind of mental roadblock that makes it difficult, it has nothing to do with the piece itself, I think it's a social anxiety/autism issue of some sort. I get emotionally overwhelmed or something. So if you draw or make something for me and it seems to take me forever to react, please don't take it personally. It's rude of me to keep people waiting but I'm trying my best with the limited energy, social batteries and time I have. You're always free to poke me a little bit and remind me and make sure I saw the post, I genuinely don't mind at all.

KuroKen fanfic recs: fluff edition?

HI LOVES. I, for one, LOVE Kenma and he is one of my favorite characters in Haikyuu, so can you IMAGINE my shock/surprise when I saw he was getting cancelled? Like please,,,, WHAT? Friendly reminder that these characters are fictional and to not get too heated,,,, I mean there are worse characters yet people seem to love them,,,,,

ANYWAYS, because I wanted some cleansing in my life, here are some of my favorite fluff fics from the KuroKen tag! Keep in mind the fact that I really can’t read fluff because my reactions to second-hand embarrassment are very intense, so if I miss any you think are good, send me an ask? I’m going to limit myself to like 10 fics because I want to get this out in a timely manner LOL.

As per usual, pls check WARNINGS, TAGS, and SUMMARIES for each fic before reading (just to be safe even though this IS a fluff rec list LOL) and make sure you’re taking care of yourselves (since mental health is key!) Stay healthy loves <3

shions_heart // so ignore me finding loopholes in my own post hehe. ANYWAYS, I love this writer and their KuroKen stuff? FLAWLESS. There’s a reason why if you look in the KuroKen tag they appear multiple multiple multiple times,,,, IT CAUSE THEY’RE SO GOOD AT WRITING AHHHHHH.

todxrxki // again ignore, bUT THIS WRITER YESYESYES. They wrote some of my ALL TIME FAVORITE KUROKEN fics and their fluff is SO tooth rottingly sweeeeeet!!!! I ADORE their fics, go read them!!

i'll make you happy (just wait and see) by newamsterdam (T) 7k // the FLUFF akjhsfkfjka,,, it’s a lot of pining and kinda slow burn but not really cause they’re basically dating without dating LOL. I love Yaku and the hc that he’s done with Kuroo’s bs like 100% of the time. There’s slight angst (for like two seconds TW:implied death), but other than that it’s all fluff! You don’t actually need to read the other fics in the series to understand this one, it’s a standalone.

smiles like yours are hard to come by by bonnia (T) 1.9 // I was so akjfkajsdnf this entire fic PLEASE the lines he used omfg. They’re such classics but I still reacted to each one WITH PASSION LFMAKJNAKNKA. This is such a keyboard smash fic (hence the keyboard smash) because I kept being like THE FLUFF IS TOO MUCH, but is it ever really enough? (dang am I a poet LMAO).

Home by SuggestiveScribe (G) 2.3k // PADDED THIGH HIGHS, anyways.... This was SO cute ahhhh. I love them and even though it was a little predictable (cause that’s just how it be sometimes), it was still SO GOOD AHHHH. Also I love the banter between KuroKen and Bokuto, and despite my thigh highs comment, there’s nothing but FLUFF and a little sad time in this fic :D

Maybe he likes you? by robotjellyfish (G) 2k // THE ENDING IN THIS ONE LFMKANSKJN the way I cackled LOL. Also I do love the random ones where it’s like, Hinata wingman like how bad do you need to be for Hinata to realize LOL.

video games and gold rings by gnomeo (G) 4.8k // AH this one is more plot than fluff and I got so enraptured by it during my first read through! It’s really cute and it’s fun to put the pieces the writer leaves for the reader (which are also explained in the a/n). 

no wind, no rain, or winter's cold by ohhotlamb (G) 2.9k // the sappiness in this one. Kuroo is a certified simp and I know it starts out a little angsty, it’s turns into a happy ending where your stone-cold heart is warmed ie. heartwarming fic. (But pickles and lemons? Really? ugh gross LOL) It’s a cute fic and I love Kenta.

Ah, that is…my boyfriend, I guess… by trashwriter (NR) 621 // this one is super short but it was funny and disgustingly cute. Like I could see them never really defining the relationship out loud (which you shouldn’t do communication is key) and just rolling with it. But also the fact that Kuroo confessed and Kenma didn’t react killed me.

an ode by manzana (G) 1.7k // a fic dedicated to Kuroo’s laugh. That’s it. That’s the fic. JK but no seriously that’s what this is about LMFAO. It’s v cute and ofc fluff and Kuroo’s laugh would interrupt everything LOL. Donkey bray laughing ass hehe.

That’s it for now folks! I know I missed a lot of good fics (trust me, I KNOW LOL) but like I said, I’m just tryna get this out while it’s still slightly relevant (cause I know the Kenma slander happened yesterday). A lot of these fics are very Kuroo taking care of Kenma, but there are plenty of fic that are reverse (Kenma taking care of Kuroo) which I adore, but due to time restraints could not find :( I’ll prolly put out an actual full KuroKen fic list eventually but don’t count on it coming out any time soon LOL (its got so many fics okay?).

[airlock]

airlock grades the Punchable archetype

so far, a majority of the Fire Emblem villains I’ve covered in this series are the sort who are meant to be liked, forgiven, sympathized with... these here are not those ones. these are the ones whose singular purpose in the narrative is to piss you the hell off. so, which of them played that role to excellence?

(do note: under cut are spoilers for… everything, and also a significant amount of me criticizing or blamming characters that you might- okay, yeah, no, you probably don’t like anybody on this list, but you may still strongly disagree with my opinions of them. you’ve been warned! ha, no way these fools would set about reading the whole post now... what!? impossible!)

a foreword

so, to be very specific, I’m not rating every flatly irritating miniboss here; the definitive aspect here is that the character has to be a recurring one, whose extended screentime never quite ends up giving them a chance to be something other than vile. but more important than the hair-splitting here is giving some consideration to how exactly I’ll be doing the rating; after all, I’m not supposed to like any of these people, but there’s still better and worse ways to be despicable as a character.

I’m running pretty much on two central critteria: is this character entertaining, and is that character satisfying to take down. it’s more important to hit one than to hit both; a character who hits neither is significantly more likely to be a pure waste of bile, however.

without further ado, let’s start gritting those teeth!

fuck this guy

(9/10)

directly enabling the single most badass scene in all of Book II obviously lands you on the upper echelons of this here character type. but that’s just the effect; we should peer into the cause of what makes him work so well!

of the critteria I mentioned, Lang goes for the latter: he’s not only quite satisfying to defeat, it’s also great anytime someone finally talks back to him and puts him in his place. that’s because he’s not the sort of character for whom this sort of thing is a given. a lot of the ones we’ll see ahead of him are incompetent toadies on top of being amoral, but not this guy; he knows exactly what he’s doing, relying on the backing of the most powerful nation in the continent to plunder, raze, and oppress to his heart’s content. the business of doing something about this dipshit gets severely delayed by the dire consequences of crossing him -- until Marth finally decides that enough is enough.

and THEN Jagen tells him to meet him 9 PM at the Grustian denny’s parking lot for an old man brawl-

fuck this chin

(3/10)

I struggle to understand ol’ Kaga’s obssession with jealousy as a villainous character motivation, I really do. it’s one entirely realistic thing to envy someone for having riches, fame, status, influence, the attention of one’s crush, or other such things that are more or less objective and palpable. it’s also entirely a thing to have an inferiority complex and fear or spite people one perceives as being more talented, better looking, stronger, smarter than oneself. but the way these characters are written tends to come across like they’re furious because they’re underwritten gonk and not everyone else is.

... which hey, would be a pretty upsetting thing if it happened to a real person, but I don’t think meta-commentary is the point here, is it? I sincerely hope it isn’t...

fuck this lady

(7/10)

the second leg of Genealogy of the Holy War finds you facing the same sorts of enemies most of the time: half of them are Satanists, and the other half are unfortunate innocents trapped in the crossfire of courtly intrigue. it’s exactly because of this that the arc desperately needs a villain like Hilda.

Hilda is just someone who doesn’t particularly mind if the most effective path up the social ladder involves destroying her relatives, daughter included, or capturing children and forcing them into murder tournaments. how is the imperial machinery of tragedy and death supposed to run without someone like her cranking a couple of the levers? er, I mean, you don’t really crank levers unless you’re doing something weird, but... okay, moving on

amidst all of the battles you might struggle to feel were worth fighting, Hilda here serves as a reminder, as a face of every reason why the Empire is the enemy and must be defeated.

and yes, making Tinny kill her rocks

fuck this guy IN AMERICA

(2.5/10)

not too long ago I would have dropped him a straight zero, but I’ve recently been reading through the Project Exile text dumps for a new Thracia 776 fanslation and what can I say, they put good work into making him tick properly and I essentially have no choice but to keep that sort of thing in consideration when making the ratings, being that all of the other villains are also characters I only have indirect contact with through a translation that may have improved or worsened things.

but the good work is no miracle -- although given much-needed entertainment value, this guy is still who he is: practically a standard-fare asshole miniboss who ends up getting three whole chapters to chirp into. and to make matters worse, you only actually get the payoff to him in one of two possible routes!

I am strong, I am clever, I am handsome, and most importantly, fuck me

(4/10)

I can’t possibly deny that his antics are some of the most hilarious on this list; the ridiculous speeches, the facial expressions from the manga, the fact that he gets demoted on screen... and I mean, they got Kaiji Tang to put voice to his high drama on Heroes, on top of it all!

alas, it just really spoils the fun to a significant extent that his very introduction in Binding Blade sees him macking on a captive prepubescent girl. however entertaining it may be that she snatches his wig on that occasion anyway.

fuck this morph

(5/10)

yeah, some people wish. notably including Brendan Reed-

the thing with Sonia is that she’s a little less believable than most folks in this archetype -- specifically because she’s not, like, working within the structures of power that would let her get away with being as much of a dip as she wants to; she’s earned her influential position by seducing the boss, which is hard to buy when, however attractive she may be, she never has a single positive interaction with anyone and nobody trusts her (barring Ursula on both counts, but she’s not the one who needs to be brought on board anyway). I realize what a phenomenon it is to think with one’s dick, but come on; surely, you don’t let your new friend with benefits tell you how to do your job just because she’s that good in bed or something.

that said, although her overall spot on the plot feels weakly implemented, she still makes for a tremendous bulwark to overcome specifically within Nino’s subplot. what a powerful confrontation against a lifelong abuser she provides in the end!

do not fuck this guy what is wrong with you

(3/10)

Valter is just uncomfortable as a character, which is limbo as far as emotion-inducing goes; it’s not particularly entertaining, and nor is it artfully terrifying in the way that Orson is. furthermore, I normally praise Sacred Stones’s antagonists for averting the way of behaving like a plot device, but this guy is the exception; he seems to primarily show up to cause trouble because trouble needs to be caused.

I feel like he’d have made for a far stronger character concept if his backstory had been handled differently, being more specific in what part of his mind broke when he held the cursed lance, instead of just being “now he does bad things and talks like he’s vaguely horny throughout”.

at least he’s quite a bit entertaining in Heroes where he gets voiced lines and no particular characters or plots to interact with -- but if that’s what it takes to make the character shine, it doesn’t really say good things about him.

fuck beauty

(5.5/10)

so, the truth come out: does this guy is deserve becoming the absolute teacher’s pet he’s been since Radiant Dawn? my verdict on the matter is: not really.

I mean, Path of Radiance actually writes him into a solid niche; for all the big words he emits about being a patron of beauty, he’s ultimately just the same kind of petty, ostentatious garbage that poisons the governance of Begnion, and finally taking him down for good and all makes for an excellent dive after all the work it takes to set the light of justice on him -- not just in Day Breaks (oh gooooooooddd) but over the course of the several chapters it takes.

it’s all downhill from there, though. his appareance in Radiant Dawn is not only unecessary, but also a deviation from the established writing to focus on pallid, ineffective jokes, like someone invented Heroes writing before the thing itself happened. he fights on your side because now he genuinely cares about beauty and art to the point he’ll fight a goddess over it? yeah, that’s not who he was.

and seriously, one strongly gets the impression that, in that appearance onwards, the punchline is just supposed to be that he’s fat, bald, wordy, and has a shitty mustache -- which, besides being blatant fatphobia, is seriously stale; “it’s funny because he’s ugly” is, like, at least two random minibosses per game, usually more.

fuck the senate

(2/10)

although he jabs a lot of the buttons that should make for an entertaining and stalwart hate sink, it ends up not really working.

his narcisism lacks the performatic grandeur of the likes of Narcian; it lands as pastiche at best, and common annoying smugness at worst. and although he’s powerful and influential enough to cause a bunch of problems, he’s introduced at a weird time that fails to make his specfic capabilties relevant to opposing the protagonists, and he ends up not doing a lot more than severely inconveniencing Zelgius (who is on his team) a couple times.

at least, the battle dialogue against him in Part 4 still provides some of the most fierce drags in Radiant Dawn

fuck the valm arc

(0/10)

seriously, fuck it

but ahem, onto the guy in question: he’s an annoying waste of writing space that doesn’t seem to be intended for any reason other than making the rest of Team Bad Guy look good, plain and simple.

you might be thinking, airlock, this is the third Awakening villain you blammed in four posts, are you just biased? the answer is: yes, but even if I were being perfectly fair, let’s be real, antagonists are just not one of that game’s strengths, overall. that just happens sometimes; I can really say the same thing of like Thracia 776, y’know?

fuck playing f- yeah, okay, that’s just low-hanging fruit

(??/10)

honestly, from this distance, none of Fates’s fixed antagonists bar Anankos really give me the impression of not just being despicable pastiche, but I’m guessing he’s supposed to be the one who actually intended to take it as a niche?

so, I’m just going to assume you hated this, but how was it? are you glad it’s over, or do you regret having read it at all? we’re probably not going to be spared from one of these characters on Three Houses, but specifically how much would you like to hate the one that comes along? to be honest, your thoughts aren’t remotely as good as mine, so I wouldn’t bother replying or reblogging to share them, worm. what? you’ll do it anyway!? how dare you! do you know what I’m capable of!?
