#I hate that guy! who is that guy? omg? overrated!!!

[mizz-sea-nymph]

Hello my queen! If you had to choose, who would be your favorite Olympian god/goddess besides Poseidon?

In myth: it’s said Amphitrite was one of the goddesses(her,Rhea,Dione,Ichhanea and Themis) who were present in Apollos and Artemis’ birth.

This info made me have the liberty of making Amphitrite be his some what god mother figure considering she’s his aunt, and make her have a really close relationship with Apollo, sharing similarities and having a chaotic bond.

Apologize if this looks lazy 🧍‍♀️🤚🏽

They besties your honor 🦈

[yuikomorii]

// I’m making this post, as a result of seeing way too much hate and misinfo regarding every character. Nobody stops anyone from voicing their opinion but the need to degrade a character, while providing BAD reasons or stating incorrect/out-of-context facts about them only for the sake of internet validation, is such a loser move.

We’re all in this fandom to have fun and even if you have something negative to say about a character you don’t like, keep it to yourself or in private with your friends.

Ayato:

“I don’t like Ayato, he’s overrated”, omg you’re just sooo different! Definitely not like other girls/guys!

Everyone is allowed to dislike whatever they want but if Ayato is your least/one of your least favorite DL characters, then your opinion ISN’T valid. This is a franchise full of abusive characters and he’s literally the most heroic love interest. Why would you hate the hero…?

“He’s dumb and annoying”, says the person who spends their time insulting FICTIONAL characters. 1) Japanese fans like dumb characters, since they come off as endearing; 2) Ayato outdid everyone throughout the routes.

He did more good than all of his brothers and saying that X, Y or Z deserves the main role more, is fake fan behavior because at this point you’re just setting up your favs.

Kanato:

No, you’re not cool for calling him ugly. It’s okay if you’re not into that type of characters but his design is not bad at all.

“He had no development”, he does in CL. It’s not major but it can still be visible.

The whole Teddy thing might be annoying to some of you, but his fans get why he acts that way. Let’s not forget that he is a victim of neglect.

Yes, he was sexually exploited too. Don’t forget this x2.

Laito:

“I hate Laito so much, he was so cruel in HDB 😢”; stop living in the past and move on already.

His development shouldn’t be overlooked only because your opinion about him was formed on something that came out more than 10 years ago.

He’s still the most fascinating DL character and I get that he might make some of you feel uncomfortable but don’t project your triggers on a character that’s merely made after a trope.

Shu:

No, it’s not Shu’s fault for the way Reiji acted. Envy is never a good reason to hurt someone.

“Shu roasts the heroine the most!”, I get that it’s rude but his insults are actually funny?? A bunch of people will like him for being brutally honest or a jerk because it’s literally a game for players with masochistic fantasies. They WANT to be roasted by good-looking men. That’s the point.

“Shu is lazy and stupid, he’s the only one who failed his school year”, genuine question: If you were an immortal creature that doesn’t need food or sleep to survive, would you still care about grades? Besides, he’s really smart.

“Shu doesn’t care about Yuma, he just feels guilty”, in LE he sacrificed himself for him and reincarnated merely because he wished to meet Yuma again and get on well with him in another life—

Reiji:

“He hurt Shu and Yuma”, well yeah but he was shown plenty of times regretting it and trying to fix things. Stop reminding this to Reiji stans because that conflict is already closed.

“He is so mean in other routes”, obviously?? If you don’t teach him how to love, he won’t suddenly act nice towards anyone.

Without him Yui would fail her tests and the Sakamaki household would be in chaos.

Subaru:

“W-What do you mean baby Tsundere is not soft innocent virgin boy? 🥺”; he has never been like that, that’s how YOU perceived him. Stop acting so shocked every time Subaru does something bad because he’s still a vampire after all??

Also, why are so many people reducing his character to Kou and/or Yui—? He’s much more than that and has his own interests, struggles, likes, dislikes, and so on.

“He’s irrelevant”; Diabolik Lovers has 13 love interests, they can’t make everyone extremely important to the general plot. Just enjoy a character as it is, it’s not that hard.

Ruki:

The cat jokes were funny when the Meow Meow Vampire art came out but MOVE ON. I hate that scene and Ruki was in the wrong but come on now, that’s not even the worst thing he has done and MB happened in 2013.

I understand not liking Ruki as a person, because he’s mostly not a good one, but this doesn’t mean he’s not a good character.

“Ruki deserved what happened to him in the past because he was cruel towards everyone”; while I agree that Karma hit him, I wouldn’t say any child really deserves to go through that. He was just a spoiled brat, who most likely wasn’t taught by his parents about modesty or kindness.

Kou:

“He was so cruel in MB 😣”, and HE HAD DEVELOPMENT! He’s not the same anymore, nobody is.

“He overreacts”, sometimes he’s not in the wrong and has all rights to be angry.

Kou isn’t afraid of going against Ruki, even if he’s the brother he admires the most, as long as he knows that what Ruki is doing isn’t good.

Yuma:

“He beat Yui up in the MB bad ending!😡😡”, it’s a bad ending for a reason, lol.

Pretty reminder that Yuma always tries to help others with Kou and Azusa, and was even willing to save the ghouls in LE.

“Yuma doesn’t care about Shu”, did we play the same game or…?

Azusa:

“Azusa is so horrible, he threw Teddy in the fire!”; and he only did it to save Yui, it was not intentional.

While not all his actions are good, keep in mind that he never means any harm and is overall such a sweet guy.

“He is too clingy”; I know that might not be everyone’s cup of tea but is it really worth hating a character just for wanting affection?

The Tsukinamis and Kino:

“They were too easy to defeat in DF!”; Dark Fate wasn’t entirely about them to begin with. Most routes focused on the boys’ internal struggles with their trauma and how to move past it.

“Kino is sometimes mean for the sake of being mean”; it’s almost as if he’s the ✨villain✨

It’s dumb questioning the morals of characters supposed to have an antagonistic role.

“Kino hurt Ayato in LE”; out of all characters who have wronged Ayato, at least Kino felt bad and wanted to apologize.

Yui:

“She’s dumb and ugly”; Japanese fans literally love her for being an idiot because it wouldn’t be fun to see the heroine being the best at everything or not making mistakes at all. Plus, her design is definitely not ugly.

Stop creating your own version of Yui in your head and ending up disappointed when she doesn’t act the way you expect her to. No, Yui is not OOC for liking being bitten, having a low learning ability or saying things she shouldn’t in the wrong moments. Nobody is perfect and everyone has their own kinks and flaws.

“She’s too innocent”; she’s not?? If you really want to see her thirsty, go play Ayato’s routes, especially the heaven scenarios.

“She’s weak”, she’s the opposite. Yui is one of the most mentally strong DL characters.

I can’t understand people who hate on heroines when they’re present in all routes and are the most positive characters.

[sweetmariihs2]

I hate when people are like "look I'm so different guys, my favorite character is not the most popular one, look at how I stand out so much 🤪"

And they start to search for controversies like "omg they're so overrated 🙄 you guys are so basic for liking them, they're not even all this"

"unpopular opinion: I don't like certain character 🙄" "unpopular opinion: you guys are overreacting 🙄"

You're not causing a comotion you're just a boring person who can't interact in a fandom.

I've been seeing so much of these people in the STF fandom recently, and being honest, I'm already sick of it. I just want to enjoy my stuff and there is always a mf trying to get some attention by saying "unpopular opinions"

You're not special for not liking a popular character. Actually, you're being annoying. No one cares if you like this popular character or not. Jesus, go touch some grass

(I'm not talking about a specific person, I'm talking about a group of annoying people here in the fandom, not only on tumblr, I'm tired of people mocking and annoying me and my friends because of our tastes, this happened during my whole life is not enough like lmao calm down this fandom is my only safe place)

[br1ghtestlight]

they're wearing their raincoats so for me this is already a 10/10 episode. love when they wear their raincoats!!

not big bob and tina going on the toddler rides at amusement parks together. LESS THRILL MORE CHILL. truly two autistic peas in a pod <3

big bob is seventy five (at least according to louise) this is important lore. also this means bob's dad is the same age as his gayass old man landlord who flirts with him every other day FJDMDJDKSMS according to my caculations big bob would've been 29ish when he had bob which means he met lily when they were in their early twenties. that also means (assuming that lily was the same age as big bob) lily would have been around 43 when she died although the math doesn't add up 100% if you consider her being born in 1941 because it would mean this episode takes place in 2016 which it doesn't. am i overthinking this one-off line where louise guestimates big bob's age??? yes i am thank you VERY MUCH.

LMAOO NOT THE BIG BOB REPUBLICAN DOOMER ARC OH NOOO

big bob making conversation while spending the day with his very young grandchildren: so have you considered that the world is terrible and people are awful and we should all kill ourselves? thoughts?

(im sure that isn't what bob meant its just funny to imagine big bob depression posting circa 2013 tumblr @ his grandkids all day)

ALSO this implies bob has been talking to big bob more regularly lately which is great. they're working on their relationship. a little bit :)

BIG BOB FOR REAL BEING A QANON TRUTHER EXCUSE ME???? THE FUCK. ohh he's literally a doomer he's watching videos about the upcoming apocolypse and how to ration food. HE'S A CLIMATE CHANGR DOOMER ITS SO OVERR im sorry thats so funny im obsessed w/ him

also our first time ever seeing (what im assuming is) bob's childhood home!! very cute. and he made them cookies

BIG BOB COMING TO VISIT BOB AT HIS RESTAURANT???? HUGE WIN???

why is big bob calling bob randomly to talk about how the world is ending and tigers are going extinct what is GOING on. at least he believes in climate change??

"like he's getting ready to..... leave the party. so he doesn't feel bad about telling everyone how much the party stinks" DONT TALK ABOUT HIM LIKE THAT if there's an episode where big bob dies its over for me. like its done <- there won't be but i would be very very sad IF THERE WAS. to be fair we gotta kill off linda's parents too though

aww they're texting regularly <3 i like how you can ALREADY see how much bob and big bob's relationship has improved since the start of the show where bob Literally thought his dad hated him and that he was a disappointment. see what actual open communication can do for you!! im happy bob has at least one parent he can talk to kinda sorta? HE SHARES HELPFUL TIPS SO THAT BOB CAN SAVE HIS FAMILIES LIFE HES TRYING TO HELPP :(

"and today its just gonna be him. and them. and the giant cloud of darkness that follows him wherever he goes" funnily enough thats also what people say when talking about me :3

GRANDPA HUG!!!!!!!

"pop pop how much cotton candy is TOO MUCH cotton candy" "i dont know. three??"

LMAO FOR SOME REASON THAT REMINDS ME OF THIS FUCKIGN QUOTE. big bob when gene comes out to him as genderfluid like

wharf day with pop-pop!!! wharf day with pop-pop!!!!!

grandpa needs a little bench time. im ALWAYS saying this tbh

"don't get any tattoos that your parents can see" FUN GRANDPA he's definitely a better grandpa than he is a dad bcuz he was not doing this shit w/ bob when he was young i can tell you that much

OMG I LOVE TEDDYS RAINJACKET?? sorry i live in a rainforest its my god given right to comment on people's rainy day fashion. its like my one job

"i need to ask you guys A HUGE favor. can you try to take a good picture of me" teddy u are literally always hot this shouldn't be a problem. you're DRIPPING sex appeal. except this is for a handyman website so maybe less sexy?ANY PICTURE I TRY TO TAKE OF MYSELF I LOOK LIKE A MURDERER FJFMDNFJDKDNDJXHXH

louise shows up whenever she goes and figured out the best way to Cause Problems and i respect that about her. that takes real talent and dedication

one thing about the belcher kids they WILL end up locked inside a fortune telling clam in wonder wharf

he's sooo baby

everything is so okay bob dont even WORRY. big bob is asleep on a bench and the kids are stuck inside a giant clam they've done more dangerous stuff like twice this week already. at least they're inside??

"its fun when your dad shows up to. check on your grandpa"

ITS SO EASY FOR YOU BOB WITH YOUR CHARMING LOVEABLE FACE

do you not trust me with the kids :( noo big bob they literally (kinda) trusted GAYLE with the kids for AN ENTIRE WEEKEND u cant be worse than her at taking care of them. she was making them do some shit that Kids should not be doing. anyone remember the pretty paws

??? why was he just randomly like oohh we should win that gorilla for the kids. he loves them SO MUCH im gonna cry <3 he literally loves them and wants them to be happy. he SPOILS them. he's such a good grandpa and such a terrible dad lmfao

"are we being punished? for being helpful and delightful??"

if i was walking around an amusement park and i heard a robotic fortune telling clam SCREAMING for somebody to help it escape i would get the fuck outta there so fast sorry kids. you might be on your own w/ this one

i dont know why bob is acting like he doesn't lose the kids four times a week MINIMUM those mfs will run off anywhere if given half the chance. they live for the thrill

"we lose 'em and then we find them. that's our thing" ?? what did he mean by this

WHY ARE THEY LOOKING FOR "CUTE" TOOLS this subplot is so funny im kinda obsessed. mechanics for the girlies

HOW DO YOU MAKE A TAPE MEASURER LOOK SCARY........

teddy is scaring the hoes nooo. its okay teddy i would hire you maybe(??) well. yknow

IM A GENTLE PERSON :( teddy i will always be your biggest fan wtf he's literally so sweet. he wouldnt hurt a fly

silly <33

LMAO not louise just lying there and saying help us. help us. help us into the microphone she's so cute and SOOO over this whole situation

TEDDY IS HAPPIEST WHEN HE'S EATING BOB'S BURGERS THATS SO SWEET WTF

he's a good grandpa :(

SOMETIMES YOUR GRANDPA CAN BE A LITTLE DARK ABOUT LIFE AND NEGATIVE. YOU MEAN LIKE YOU LMAOO

if you keep saying stuff like that around your grandkids they're gonna believe you.... and then it might actually come true. so maybe don't say horrible stuff about the future to people who will have to live in that future </3

IM NOT ALWAYS WORRIED ABOUT THE FUTURE AND THATS **BECAUSE** OF MY GRANDKIDS what if i cry right now. he literally loves them so much he's such a good grandpa!!! wtf Anyone else thinking about amelia right now. the ending

AAWWW THIS EPISODE WAS SO CUTE IM OBSESSED WITH BIG BOB he was such a terrible father but he's the best grandpa and he loves these kids SO MUCH. genuinely. and im so happy that his relationship w/ bob is getting better and that they're on better terms. also the subplot with teddy was adorable i always love teddy and linda subplots. they're BESTIES. maaaybe my favorite episode from this season so far but honestly they've all been so great that there's like five different episodes competing for that spot. and we're still only eight episodes in!!! absolutely everything i wanted from an episode with big bob (even if lily wasn't mentioned. SAD!! oh well there are other episodes) and i loved learning more abt his relationship with his grandkids and that dynamic ^_^ <33

[ferris-the-wheel]

My honest opinion of each NRC student [TWST].

Riddle: After his overblot, he turned into a really cool guy. I think that he should get some therapy and learn to say no to his mom. 6/10

Trey: Very chill; probably the only normal one of the Heartslaybul group. He's like that 'mom' friend of the friend group who gives everyone food and is generally nice. 7/10

Cater: I love you 😊 Very interesting personality, I feel like I could see him becoming a very popular influencer in the future. Very funny and his reactions to everything are priceless. Questionable taste in tags. 8/10

Ace: Honestly, not a fan. Never really liked the chaotic prankster types. 1/10

Deuce: Poor dude just trying to vibe but gets yanked into Ace's shenanigans. Overall not too bad. 3/10

Leona: Um... I don't exactly hate him but I'm not a huge fan. I get the sleeping part, though. I like sleeping too. 4/10

Ruggie: Pretty neutral. He's funny and I don't really have a problem with him. He's a bit annoying in the main story, but I can overlook that. 5/10

Jack: Very nice! He has very high morals and is very trustworthy. I feel like if I told him a super personal secret, he'd take it with him to the grave. 7/10

Azul: Neutral. I'm not the biggest fan of him, but I feel bad for him a bit because of his backstory. Also, seek therapy, Azul. 4/10

Jade: He's okay. A bit neutral but leaning toward okay. Not much of an opinion here. His obsession with mushrooms in funny. 5/10

Floyd: He'd so funny without even trying, I like him. Overall, he makes me laugh 👍 7/10

Kalim: Omg my baby, protect him 🥺 He's an absolute ball of sunshine and can do no wrong. I love this guy sm (second favorite). 10/10

Jamil: Okay, I can understand his pov, but he still betrayed Kalim, so neutral. I don't dislike him. 5/10

Vil: I'll be honest. At first, I didn't really like him, but he's chill now. He's okay in my book. 7/10

Rook: ... He creeps me out, I won't lie. I mean, there's nothing wrong with his personality ig, but the fact that he could just be watching me at any time and I wouldn't know... I'll be generous and make him neutral. 4/10

Epel: He's cool. He's that one kid who will beat your ass if you say anything about his height 😂 Also, was I the only one who didn't think he was a girl? I've been catfished by too many animes, you can't trick me anymore. 6/10

Idia: Perfect. Marry me 🥺 I love this dude. He's so funny not even trying and his personality is just 🤌 10/10

Ortho: He's so adorable and the way he was ready to blow up NRC for Idia 😭 But like, he's so cute. 10/10

Malleus: Okay, don't hate me, but slightly overrated. Don't get me wrong, I still like him, he's cool, but slightly overrated. I'm gonna get torn to shreds because of this. 5/10

Lilia: Very funny, interesting personality and just overall character type. We love found parents 🫢 7/10

Silver: Very chill, we would vibe. He's similar to Jack (high morals). Bonus point because animals like him. 7/10

Sebek: I won't lie, it kind of feels like 80% of his whole character is just following Malleus around, praising him, and shouting a lot. I'm not a fan of loud noises. Plus, his character just seems a bit boring. 3/10

Grim (Bonus): Don't like. Causes a lot of problems for you in-game and overall personality grates on me. Annoying and demanding. Yes, he's a cat(?) but the cuteness isn't worth it. But I will give a bonus point because of cat-like form. 1/10

Boo!! I'm sorry if you disagree with what I said above, but please remember that these are my opinions, and you definitely don't have to agree with them. I hope you at least found my take on the NRC students to be interesting. Bye for now~!! 🧡

tag game: stranger things edition

Thank you @maniac-maniac-maniac for tagging me!

Btw anyone can play if they want to! Don't feel like you have to wait to be tagged 🦋

Ride or die ship (your otp)

I- I don't really have one... I don't like Mike and El; she's on another level. I think I have to ship a couple, it would be Argle and Jonathan?? Or Robin and Vickie. Oh! Robin and Nancy!

Most annoying ship

Mike and El... I hate how she feels as if she isn't good enough for him while she is literally the main character? And I can't have El being insecure because my girl is BITCHIN' 👏👏👏

Second favourite ship

Me and Eddie <3 <;3 <3

Favourite platonic relationship

STEVE AND ROBIN! They are platonic SOULMATES! Absolutely amazing chemistry by the actors.

Underrated ship

Joyce and Jim; they were already Mother ™ and Father ™ even before going on their date at Enzos.

Overrated ship

Mike and El, AND Steve and Nancy. I mean I do like the trope of Female Character Has Big Ambitions with Boyfriend Who Has None. But Steve and Nancy are too dissimilar. As well as Nancy and Jonathan - there is no chemistry there.

One thing I would change in canon

Eddie's death duh.

Something canon did right

... Introduce Eddie, I'm SORRY I'm being annoying but c'mon he is the best thing about the goddamn show. It was boring for me before.

A thing i'm proud of creating for the fandom PLEASE BRAG ABOUT YOURSELF I WANT TO SEE/READ YOUR ART

It's so old, but my Vampire!Eddie Boyfriend headcanons. Looking back it could do with a lot of editing, but the idea that Eddie was actually turned into a vampire because of the bat bites was brilliant (credit to whoever came up with that first).

A character who is perfect to me (wouldn't change a thing)

I got TWO, season 1-3 Hopper, because I really loved his whole punch first ask questions later. And his weight, I loved his weight. I think his weightloss in season 4 wasn't just for Stranger Things, I think he genuinely wanted to be skinnier. Which ... I mean his body his rules, but I loved him more when he was heavier tbh.

And OBVIOUSLY EDDIE. HOW DID THEY COME UP WITH THE PERFECT CHARACTER?! They could have made him a one, maybe even two sided drug dealer who couldn't graduate high school. But no, he has so much heart and SOFTNESS. I actually fell in love with him after the cafeteria scene, when he was with Chrissy. He just became this caring, open, kind guy who also had a LUNCHBOX full of fcking DRUGS.

The character I relate to the most and why

You already hate me by now because I've spoken about Eddie so much, but yeah ... Eddie. It's one of the reasons why he's so well-loved. The outsider, the one everyone thinks is weird - I think all can relate on one level or another. Especially growing up ... not so well off. Seeing Eddie live in a trailer but he's still so popular; it gives a lot of gratification (if that's the right word?)

Character(-s) I hate the most and why

Mr Wheeler - he is literally such a shITTY DAD. WTF. In his daily life he doesn't care about his family, or show any interest in them.

STEVE'S PARENTS - WHERE ARE THEY? WHAT ARE THEY DOING? I mean they could be travelling for work but that's still neglect.

Billy - if he wasn't a good looking character no one would like him. In the original script he was actually supposed to called Lucas the n-word because he's racist. And in the scenes with Lucas, there are underlying motifs that show his racism. So, yeah, I hate racists.

Martin Brenner aka Papa. Motherf*cking asshole.

Something I've learned from the fandom

Um... that the majority of us really love big-haired, soft-hearted, drug dealers? I mean okay, I don't really get into fandoms anymore because of bad past experiences. I guess what I've learnt then, is that everyone has their own opinion - doesn't mean yours is wrong or any less valid.

Three tags i seek out on ao3

I don't go on Ao3 a lot, but Hopper, basically just Hopper omg ahahha. Or soulmate AU.

A song I strongly associate with my otp/favourite character

I gots no songs I associate with my otp but I do for Eddie - The Sails of Chiron by Scorpions. It's a bit of rock but also ... really sensual?? I found it because Eddie made me fall in love with 80s heavy rock.

No pressure tagging: @sardonic-the-writer.

[laf-outloud]

Not to sound heartless but I don't get why people are so out of sorts at the pricing of Jensen ops thing at CCLP. Like I get how it looks, but at the same time, if he's too expensive then don't do it? If people pay those exorbitant prices to meet a celebrity for 5 seconds then that's on them. It absolutely checks out that he might realize his super fans are willing to pay whatever he charges, like the RC concert, and taking advantage of it while he can. Look at his super stalker Abi for crying out loud. How that girl continues to live in a home despite following him everywhere at the drop of a hat is beyond me. So if he sees that, why is anyone surprised that he wouldn't strike while the iron is hot? It's business and he has showed us on more than one occasion that he's all about that. Not to mention, all the bullshit this guy or Jared or any of them deal with on the regular thanks to this fandom, I don't blame him one bit. I'd charge sky high pricing too, hoping it might discourage my stalkers and other AA psychos. Especially after the bullshit ops Hellers like Alyssa asked me to do at NJ con. So if people are stupid enough to pay those prices, meaning those very AA's I mentioned, then they deserve to be taken advantage of financially in my opinion. Every other company and business enterprise does it every single day to every consumer, so why not them? Am I saying it's right? No. But I am saying this is how it works. And if people are upset, then again don't pay those prices. The less in demand he is, the less opportunities he has to drive up that pricing. It's basic common business sense.

I'm just so tired of hearing everyone bitch about stupid things like this to be honest. If you don't like the guy, cool, then focus on what you do like (not you but the people bitching to you when they don't even plan to go or pay to get those photo ops here or at that event). If you like him but hate the prices, then don't pay them. The whole celebrity thing is overrated anyway. Who gives a shit if you get a picture with Tom Cruise to post to your Instagram or get an autograph from Selena Gomez? How does that make you any cooler or the person to follow or pay attention to unless it helps your career or business? These are just human beings that make more money than we do on a daily basis and their image is out there for the world to see, sometimes repeatedly. That's it. I've run into quite a few celebrities in my time and I can tell you it was nothing to write home about, even if they were really nice and somewhat humble. No matter how good looking or "hot" they may have been. They're human beings that you or I could easily be working with every single day at our jobs or our neighbors or whatever. I even ran into an actor once who was so drunk he couldn't walk properly and nearly crashed into me as I was passing by. His bodyguard didn't see it until we nearly collided because he was so focused on the other direction of the sidewalk we were on (there were more people on that side that were moving towards him). I wasn't there to see him, I was just walking by. Never did I go "omg I just nearly collided into a wasted Oscar winner, where's my phone so I can take a pic?" Human being. Just like us. I've seen them eat, get trashed, give their entourage a hard time, hit on girls, etc. Just like any of us at one point in time or another. There's nothing special about them to the point where we should lose our common sense and use our mortgage payment to pay for a 5 second photo and then turn around and bitch that it "wasn't more special". If people want to pay for a photo op where he's playing Dean, again, if too expensive then don't do it. But if not, then I'd get more people being upset about that.

People need to stop putting all of their stock into things like this, meaning celeb photo ops. A photo op is just a photo. Should they smile because you paid for the photo with them? Yes. Should they be professional in that 5 seconds? Yes. But that's it. They don't need to rub your shoulders or or make you feel unique or special (as I saw one blogger mention that this is why they were disappointed with a Jensen con experience they had and now they're firmly anti Jensen because of it). They're there to do a job. Some people like Jared choose to connect or interact with the fans which is cool but that's going above and beyond, an extra perk. He is not expected to do that. Like when these guys are on stage at a panel. They're there to entertain and answer questions, that's it. Which is why I can't believe people ask them to announce pregnancies or say hello to people that aren't there or stuff like that. This is why celebrities of a higher tier don't do cons, like you will never see Nicole Kidman or Kevin Costner doing them (outside of SDCC or NYCC). A con is a business transaction through and through. These two guys don't owe anyone anything outside of that. If it's too expensive, like say that outfit in the store or that car you're considering, don't pay it. It's that simple. No one is forcing you to do it. Just like no one is forcing you to sign up for Amazon Prime or pay more monthly than the minimum payment towards your student loan. It's all up to you what you do with your hard-earned money. My advice? Don't put all of it (as well as your hopes and emotions) into celebrities. You'll come out far more disappointed than you do pleasantly surprised (Jared appears to be more of the latter from what I've seen).

Sorry if this was a bit acerbic but this shit is ridiculous to me for people to whine and complain about when no one is forcing anyone to pay those prices. Thanks for letting me get that off my chest and I hope you personally enjoy the rest of your weekend.

LOL! Rant away, anon!

I will say that not all celebrity culture is terrible. I've seen multiple people who've expressed appreciation for Jared's willingness to open up about mental health and his AKF campaigns, to the point of helping save their lives. (Though I would hope that relying on Jared and his efforts is only ever a temporary crutch and that people use it as a jumping off point to learn how to rely on their own strength, or find other resources.) All that to say that I understand wanting to meet and thank someone who has impacted your life for the better, and sometimes cons are the only place to do that.

"The less in demand he is, the less opportunities he has to drive up that pricing." This is very true, and I suppose if the market bears it, Jensen can continue to fleece his followers. I just think the optics aren't all that good. The higher prices basically scream money grab and it's just another in a long line of money grabs from this past year that make me think he actually isn't doing as well as some might think financially. But, like you said, if people are willing to pay, why not?

It sounds like you've been thinking about this for a while and I'm glad I could be a place where you could get it off your chest. Whether others will agree, I don't know, but I hope you have a wonderful rest of the weekend as well!

[corpsoir]

because i’m curious and 100% normal, what are your thoughts on other other jjba relationships? (romantic, platonic, familial- i want your hot takes)

ooh boy HEHEHE people are gonna hate me for this but like. i genuinely think the majority of jjba ships are overrated or just boring lol. i think okuyasu and josuke can be pretty sweet but like. i view them as mostly platonic with maybe a little hint of typical teenage crush, you know? we've all been a little bit in love with our best friend at least once right 😳 same with narancia and mista! platonic besties who love each other. people who dont think platonic love is a thing are stupid. i mean, i love my friends and cuddle with them and hold hands with them and give them kisses, i think its fun and im not romantically interested in any of them!! its normal lol. humans love each other in so many fun ways and its beautiful!

jotaro and kakyoin is straight up like. so boring as a couple. i dont think they have any romantic chemistry at all. theyre both awkward teenagers who seemingly never have had any friends before and thats pretty much it, i like them as close friends. i think people just ship them because they see two male characters looking at each other and immediately have to imagine them in love or in bed which is like. come on. HOWEVER done RIGHT i think jotaro/kakyoin can be fun and sweet! but people need to stop rewriting their entire characters just to make it "work" 💀 idk. actually most characters i just view as platonic, i might be projecting HGDJSKGHSJ

joseph and caesar i can totally see as more than friends though! avdol and polnareff too omg <333 guys who piss together kiss together or whatever 🦐

but other than bruabba the only thing that will make me go completely brainrot for days is gyjo holy shit johnny and gyro GHHHH theyre in love in every sense of the word ok but they also kinda have divorced energy idk HAHAH

there are so many funny weird "ships" but not really ships too like, i think its so fucking funny when people say rohan has a stupid crush on jotaro but jotaro has the emotional palette of a fucking cactus, the dude is not interested and rohan is pathetic.

[unbecomingsposting]

First of all, your new fic had tears streaming down my face onto my pb&banana sandwich at 1am it hurt so good. Currently reading it again.

Now for the barrage of fic asks, sorry

1, 9, 17, 18, 30, 31

omg i’m glad you enjoyed it but sorry i made u cry lol

-

1 - What was your first fic and could you stand to reread it today?

honestly i think i was writing dr. who fic and the answer is no there’s no way i could read it now, half because i was thirteen and half because it’s het fic hahaha

9- Have you ever written for a fandom without watching/reading/playing the source material?

i mean i’ve never played professional soccer looool. but no i think everything else i’ve written for was a show or movie that i watched

17- In your opinion, what’s your most overrated fic?

you guys are gonna hate this but i think it’s good things fall apart haha looking back i would have written it so much better / in more depth i feel like it was too simple and shallow

18- What’s your most underrated fic?

hmmmm i think i’m gonna say tis the damn season, i still love that one so much and feel like i wrote it well before people cared about ronnett enough to really appreciate it

30- Do you continue to write for a fandom after you’ve moved on or do you focus solely on the new one?

i haven’t in the past but i feel like if the demand was there for me to finish a fic that i hadn’t yet i might consider it, depending on why i had moved on haha

31- Who’s the one character you’ve just never managed to get perfectly right?

lindsey? of the big core ones i feel like i struggle more with lindsey lately than anyone else. but andi is a big one for me personally lol. i’ve always wanted to be able to write her and i’ve even tried to write andi/rose but i just. can’t

[zumpietoo]

Ummm...

Why TF would they then “send them out to non? professional people” for promo? How does that work? (and if they are/were, over here, folks!! I’ll happily pimp the shit outta this!

There hasn’t been any “promotion” for The Flash or Nancy Drew, now has there? Actually? Not a whole for (the painfully overrated) Succession....Dudes....TeeVee is an entirely different era, now....

Oh sweet jeebus, the photoshoot....yet, again.....why TF would they do that? Also, can’t PP just take pics and (because film takes forever to develop, ofc) then release them in 4 or 5 years?

And not seeing how this differs from like the past 3 or 4 seasons?

Errmm....noooo....it was, for part of season 2, the CW’s second or third highest rated show.....it enjoyed a fanbase who bought its stuff.....buuuutt...even that? Was about Cole/jizzy because of what HE brought to it....

This was always their promo, dude....plus, again, shows end....it’s literally how it rolls.

And it, again, is NOT Babyman’s fault....even if he IS a Douchebag..

Also, LBR.....what Racist considers “necessary promo” is a pointless photo shoot in multiple outfits, under a flashing neon sign that reads, “JIzzy/SH endgame 4Evah”...complete with confessional apology tour from Cole about being an OMG!!! Cheatin’ Cheetah/colossal lush....

And PP wasted, OFC....

Wait....I thought RAS was returning to save y’all???? Seems like you’ve abandoned this one, too??? Also, again, by “good show” Snorty means, “making it mirror my fanfics”....and, she should know good writing, cuz she IS a fic writer, after all!

Woooowww.....Izzy’s deep in the conspiracy theories, I see. Plus, I thought “the network” wanted ratings and was gonna give you your way?

Yes. oh so “tragic”, what could possibly be sadder? Then a goofy teevee show giving you your way and instead moving in a different direction.....because your kween can’t keep her hands to herself! 

Oh and now they’re doing this just to “punish” you?? Goood lorrrdddd you guys are fucking nuts (and really overestimate your influence/importance. Plus HOW are they “fucking themselves over”, exactly???

And yet....they aren’t doing ANY of it, huh???

A) “the girl”, huh???? 

B) No, I thought I “started that rumor” (that’s fact)

C) who TF IS this person, cuz I’ve never seen ANY of this?? And I legit wanna read it.....so it’s a Barfie/Jabi stans who also hates Cole? I mean, I get Kat was a seekrit hate-crusher on Cole.....but she’s publicly just now wet her seat for him since she met him....

[feralnumberfive]

Okay I’m glad you think Luther is overhated bc like he was EXTREMELY frustrating in s1, but my whole thing with him was like I GET IT. I get why he’s the way he is and is thick headed, but my sisters HATED him and I didn’t get why? And they were the only people I had to talk to about the show so I had to wait until the thorification (smart but stupid golden retrieverfication) of Luther in s2 to show him love with them 😔

Luther is definitely overrated especially in S1. And like you said, it's understandable why he was hated, but I think a lot of the time it's unjustified hate. And I'm not going to say "Omg you can't hate Luther!!" to anyone because anyone can hate any character for any reason! Luther has still done some unpleasant things though that even I dislike so I'm not trying to defend him as a perfect guy who hasn't done anything wrong or give him a bunch of excuses. I think people who hate him fail to overlook that Luther himself has trauma too, granted he was the golden boy of the family and his father liked him over the others, but he still had trauma. Not to say that that's an excuse for everything "bad" that he's done, but Luther has his own trauma.

People joke about how often he says "Dad sent me to the moon" or says something about "It has something to do with the moon" in S1 but fail to realize how fucking sad that actually is?? He was told by his father, that he loved and trusted, that he's going to stay on a moon base to keep track of any threats to earth. Luther truly believed that he was protecting earth and had a huge responsibility to stay up there. But he finds out that his father sent him to the moon just so that he wouldn't have to look at him. Reginald had put Luther in charge of the team as a child, and when everyone else left Luther stayed with his father as Reginald continued to send him on missions. Luther had trusted him, but once Reginald messed him up he sent him to the moon.

Luther believed that he was protecting earth and believed that being put on the moon possibly had something to do with the apocalypse. Nope, Reginald just kept all of the information Luther sent down from space under a floorboard. His own father didn't want to look at what he did to his son, his "golden boy" nonetheless, so he sent him to the moon for a made up mission where he truly believed he was doing something super important. How fucking sad is that?

And in S1 he was just trying to be a leader again to his broken up family. It still doesn't justify things completely but he was used to being the leader and now he's back on earth and suddenly his siblings who he hasn't seen in a while are all together again with two troubling mysteries on their hands. He hasn't been a leader since they all left him and automatically went back into a controlling mode in S1. It's very evident that he's trying to wrangle them up and be a leader again, it just doesn't really work out. Luther just doesn't get some of the slack he deserves

[watasemasaru]

Hii, thanks for participating! Could answer anything from D that you haven't already? I am in love with your takes omg

Bfjgfjdns thank you, I am but a creature with a lot of feelings

D) Let's get controversial

1. Who is the most overrated character?

Setting aside Kiryu for a second, to me It's Akiyama. I'll preface that I do like Akiyama, but I don't think he served enough of a purpose to be as lauded as he is. For me he served his purpose in Y4, in Y5? He could have been just like Hana, a phone call. And it shows by the fact that he is an absolute slog to level up. He doesn't have side missions like Kiryu, Saejima, Haruka, and Shinada. So you somehow have to get him leveled just enough in the story, but leave enough substories to do in premium adventure for when you uncap his level with Komaki. Cuz if you don't, it's literally just an endless run through the streets starting fights who give such piddly amounts of exp it hardly feels worth it.

And something about him being kowtowed to by Watase...mmmm ordered the salad but changed my mind I want soup instead.

2. Who is the most underrated character?

Kaoru Sayama. It really does bother me that her arc did fall off towards the end because what feels like not enough faith in the character on the part of the writers. Like they didn't think she was capable of being both a rip shit yakuza huntress while also being a love interest. They picked one love interest and in turn undermined all of what we saw of her. And to make it worse, they take a dig at her later in Y5 but calling her something like an embarrassment to the force, like Date-san hasn't been bumbling around like an uncoordinated bee. Even if she didn't last as a romantic partner of Kiryu's she still had potential of becoming a character like Date or Akiyama as a private detective or an independent contractor specializing with computers for substories. Kaoru is so thoroughly disliked largely at the fault of insecure writing and she the character takes the blame. There are also a small handful of people who believe in their One Ship (which pff, amen we've all got one) and dislike her because she somehow impedes upon it when you could just....write her as a friend in your fic, or not all, and leave it at that. That's what fanfic is for lol. Then again I can say all this to also say maybe it's better she ended up a one off, I'd hate to see what would become of her if left around considering what typically happens to women in this series.

3. Which character(s) do you believe should have never existed?

Mayumi. It's fucking cruel and insulting what she was in the story for. Her own dad using her as a spy, then to throw herself at Kiryu who has been up to this point pushing her away, hurting her feelings further. For him to say later "I had a job and I had a woman." You bitch you treated her like shit and have the gall to her "your woman???" It's so ugly. She didn't deserve that, and you know she never saw him again. That poor girl was given the bare minimum of a personality and then had her heart stomped on every step of the way. Mayumi deserved to just not be in this story to be spared the humiliation of having to be apart of Kiryu's tears in my beer era. They don't deserve you queen!

5. Which character do you this isn't portrayed well/is misunderstood by the fandom?

Mirei Park. Y'all have seen my long drawn out defense of her, but maybe I can write it this time without getting emotional (X doubt).

People see Mirei's recruitment of Haruka as an idol as a purely selfish act. But it's not, not entirely. I mentioned it in the previous ask that she saw the outcome of what Haruka's life would be, obviously not the specifics but did she not still end up as a mother of a handful of kids, only one being her own? With a guy who is nice, but is a guy who is just nice enough? Is he reliable? Burning down a whole chunk of town because you don't want to face reality and have to be talked down to by world's biggest hypocrite? I'm shaking my eight ball and asking the cards and they all say no, he is not.

"Well that's only because of the concert and that wouldn't have happened if not for Mirei." Not really, the only thing that would have changed is not having the baby. Haruka would have still rotted away on that fucking beach.

Yes, Mirei made threats to push Kiryu into letting Haruka go. And I've made this point before but if he had been more secure financially, he could have told Miss Ma'am to go. I don't need you and I don't your money, I don't need anyone's money - get out of my swamp. And please, Kiryu is a fully grown forty-six years old. To say he was bullied by Mirei is a bit of a stretch.

Mirei saw a star, and while she had her initial reasons, her arc is the telling of how working with Haruka revealed to her that Haruka was so much more (haha) than just the success she never had.

"But that's not what Haruka really wanted!" Yeah, but that's not solely Mirei's fault. Kiryu in the end pushed her because he thought she'd be better off (correct) and with Haruka's low self-esteem and feelings of being a burden to taking away from someone else because *gestures at her whole fucking life* she decides to put her best foot forward. If Kiryu had done a better job of making her feel secure and safe, she could have told Mirei to don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya.

Mirei says wistfully that she got more than one dream back. We know that the abortion she had caused her to never be able to conceive (if I recall, people in Japan at one point could not get an abortion without the consent of the husband, and since she didn't tell Majima, you can use your imagination to the kind of physician she saw).

Haruka is both of Mirei's dreams. Haruka is both the star she never was (and well before Haruka even debuted at that), and the child she lost. You see the regrets she had, admitting that she felt she was just as much to blame in her marriage as Majima was. The age gap of the two aside, it was still a marriage of two very broken people who neither one had the communication skills or resources to be their best for each other.

Meeting Haruka was a sliver of making peace with the life Mirei had before. And had Mirei been allowed to fucking LIVE, I don't doubt that if Haruka expressed that being an idol isn't who she was, she would still have supported her as long as she didn't tuck herself away and settle because she thinks she's undeserving of something.

I feel like once again, because of not great writing, Akiyama and everyone saying THE CONCERT was Mirei's dream is walking back the biggest and most meaningful moments in that whole section of the game. It wasn't the concert. It was Haruka. Because we see by playing as Haruka that you can put her in that ugly Freddie Kreuger sweater and have her dance on milk crates and plywood that she's a fucking star and a show stopper, anywhere she goes, no matter what.

Mirei's biggest fault is not living long enough to see the conclusion of her own fucking character arc. From starting as this stone bitch to still being that, but willing to allow space for herself to feel and be introspective of what her dreams really were and sharing that with someone she cared for deeply.

8. Which character has the absolute worst moveset?

Tanimura. You were ahead of your time king, we weren't ready for you yet. I'd have to say though that Saejima is tied with him. For me he's just too bulky for me to maneuver...but that isn't saying much, I am pretty shit in general with beat'em up.

10. What's something everyone loves that you hate?

Other than my previous gripes? I don't hate Nishikiyama, but...I don't care either. I guess I'm not seeing what everyone else sees. Which now that I say it is odd considering Masato has a similar arc to Nishikiyama in relation to his siblingness with Ichiban, but I love his bitch ass. INTJ to INTJ communication I guess ¯\(◉‿◉)/¯

And with that wraps up all the D section for the Yakuza Questionnaire (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧

[gayspock]

data!

omf fank u...

How I feel about this character he is my best fucking friends <3 SORRY I DONT- IM SORRY THATS NOT A VERY INSIGHTFUL TID BIT IS IT, OMG... but he is 😁

All the people I ship romantically with this character i like data/geordi a lot! i think it's cute, yknow.<3 inot so much a unique, novel answer- though i think, in general.... god, it's really hard to describe. because it's like- TO ME, data/geordi to me are a pairing where i dont always label them in my head. does that make any sense?? like- i'll call them boyfriends and besties cutely and whatnot, but im also just sort of like ... (draws a love heart around the options that say relationship status for them)

like, dont twist tht: i dont mean it (or at least, i dont intend to mean it) in like a SUPER PRETENTIOUS sense? like goodness... blah blah blah, these characters transcend romance, or that their bond is more particular than any others, blah... moreso- i feel like data himself, and relationships of any sort, will inherently be different. and thats ok! bc the world is inherently different for him, and its like hmm...

idk how to explain it that well, you see, but its not that i dont think data cant NOT feel romantic love- but rather i dot think he'd feel different "types" of love at all, or at least not as clearly as we do, or its in a different way than we do, or- whatever..... i suppose thats a very abstract take on it, and partially its like. FR my own self-projection, a another autistic little guy who also really doesnt understand romantic love or friendship as theyre described to me by others but i can have my own silly little confused takes on either and be like well its this. :) and idk i thnk thats jst how it is <3 and i understand other readings on him completely bc of that- i think its all interesting, how ppl see him....

BUT YAH. him and geordi, above all else...i think what they are for each other is just really fucking nice, you know? like- it is... IT IS babe, you know? just so lovely and nice. bc like they arent pre-determined soulmates nor are they in the fros of passion for one another, yet theyre quite perfect for each other in the same way its pretty perfect when you put a bit of peanut butter on apples..... love and light. i hope theyre happy together being besties.

My non-romantic OTP for this character

everything i said above with him and geordi BUT ALSO FUCK IT IUP DATA AND DOCTOR CRUSHER

anyway fr tho everyone is data's bestie i think. literally what i will say about data is i think literally his dynamic works very well with, like, everyone because he IS a particular type of character and i think his perspective and inquisitive nature do, like, lend themselves to encourage certain reflection from each individual - so long as they're open to him. i really enjoy almost all other dynamics he has with ppl pretty equally!? i guess with the exceptions of picard and pulaski- neither of those really.... brought much to the show, in my opinion.

My unpopular opinion about this character:

dont think i have any off the top of my head?

LOL. I GUESS I WILL SAY- i agree that, though hes one of my fave tng characters, i deffo think hes overrated in a specific sense of like.... ik some ppl will hold him up and fr fr insist that hes the BEST THE BEST THE BEST and soo true 😁💖 but like in all honesty i'd get irritated also if he wasnt my cup of tea and i was a tng fan, like help.

ALSO. i havent seen the tng movies. hell- i might... man, i MIGHT. maybe when my exams are done- i feel like... this will sound so goofy, but i try to wait for specific days for things tht will be important to me. :3 ik at some point data gets an emotion chip- and i dont think this is that unpopular at all, but i suppose that this will be my own opportunity to say that i fucking HATE that... like i dont have to see it. I HATE IT.

like- in general, i hate the emotion chip. even with it not in his head- the very notion of it is bullshit, nothing girl<3 as corny and as shitty as a narrative move as it would be, i'd rather it were a fucking placebo- some bullshit "the emotions were inside of you all along!!!<3" kind of move. bc like... i mean. well. they are. data already feels plenty- he differs only in exactly HOW he processes the world, how he was learnt it, etc...... to make him seamlessly human, i think that'd only make sense if you completely erased all sense of self he had and rebuild him to percieve more "humanly" from the ground up. it certainly shouldnt be a chip that you can stick in his head that can be turned on and off at will.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon

(strokes my chin) hmmm i am not sure. i'll think on it. i do- i do WISH... sigh. i dont know. i think its moreso a problem with tng and its format in general- i do kind of wish... there could have been more progression, yknow? in the sense of. mm. i wish characters actually WOULD-would understand him.

and its like- its like... sigh. i dont want ALL of them to. i think the way picard treats data? hell, i hate it- but it makes a hell of a lot of sense, and i think its realistic for him to be snappy with him. for him not to properly sit down and try to understand data- like that does... actually make sense to me, from what i get from picard as a person. unfortunately enough. and its like- im not "fine" fine with that, but i like it in terms of like. a character decision bc i actually do value some sense of honesty with that but then in comparison....

idk... theres some other characters who will be dismissive or irritated with him sometimes. and again- i suppose it is just... how people would BE, but its like. they will all insist they love him but then also fail to understand him and get mad when he starts going to funny decimal points and its like. nooo babes... ITS LIKE I GET IT- everyone will have their moments of frustration/irritation, and HELL even everyone will have their limits of understanding, but then its also... like idk. a lot of the time some ppl who rlly should, at a point, understand him will then make a comment at him that... just doesnt FIT right. and i think its moreso- HONESTLY, i think its moreso writers trying to get in a funny haha data is an android joke in which despite it just kinda being clunky to the scene and- EH. its annoying i guess. thats just what it is, sometimes.

Rating Genshin character designs pt.1

I am by no means a professional character designer, hell I’m not even a professional artist (I’m self taught) but I just really wanna do this become Genshin Impact is home to some of my favourite character designs and some that I fucking hate. So let’s get into them 

Jean

I fucking hate it

Don’t get me wrong, I love Jean, she carries my fucking team and I’ve maxed out my friendship with her. She’s a great character and has a great presence in the story, I can see why a lot of characters respect her, and I really hope to see more of her. 

But what the fuck is this design???

Basic blonde bitch face, I don’t even fucking know what’s going on with her outfit. I just really really really REALLY hate her tights. I don’t know why, but I have a vendetta against tights. Maybe it’s because I grew up in BC where girls consider tights to be fashionable, but I fucking hate tights. White tights especially since more often than not they’re transparent. 

I don’t know what it is, but I just don’t vibe with the colour scheme, ya feel me? There’s a rule with character design that I learned, which is have one main colour, and then have a secondary colour, and then have other colours that support those two colours. Jean is like... I can’t tell is her main colour is white or blue. The colour placement is sort of all over the place. 

Jean is just basic and it just doesn’t stand out when you compare her to the other characters. I just feel like she should look better than this, she’s the acting grandmaster of the knights for crying out loud, and yet she looks like a generic background character. 

She looks like Saber from the Fate series, I feel like she’s just so plain and there wasn’t really anything put into her design. Her in game model looks a bit better but it’s still kinda ‘meh.’

Like what does this outfit tell you about the character? Nothing! She doesn’t look like a powerful figure, you can’t tell she’s gentle and graceful, it doesn’t tell you that she’s a leader or tells you about how she carries herself. All her design says is “Hi I’m disposable blonde with a sword no. 235″ 

With all of the negatives, I do have to say that her design does a good job of directing you to look at her face. The colar and the way her hair frames her face is great but then again, her face isn’t much to look at. 

Kaeya

Ok, we have so much to unpack here because I LOVE Kaeya’s design

I mean look at him! Right away you can tell what he’s like! He screams shady, flirty, and eccentric! 

One qualm I do have is that he looks more like a pirate than a knight, with the fur, buckles, and details, but I guess that’s fine. At least he doesn’t look basic or forgettable. And the design is a bit confusing but even then it still tells you a lot about him. 

The colour placement is smart and he looks very cohesive and put together, nothing looks out of place. Kaeya’s tanned skin contrasts the cooler values perfectly and I’m honestly sad that we don’t get to see him too much. 

It’s really a shame Kaeya isn’t more important and that Mihoyo doesn’t promote him the way they do the other characters (Noelle, Diluc, Zhongli, Xiangling and Fischl) He’s even overlooked by the community which is kind of sad. 

Real talk though he kind of reminds me of Sinbad from Magi. Maybe not the same level of himbo energy, but the whole shady, manipulative, womanizer that pretends to be good thing is there. 

But yeah, Kaeya’s design is great and I love him so much plz give him more screen time-

Albedo 

They really did my boy dirty. Seriously, he looks so fucking fine in all of his art, but then you have his in game model and he looks all greasy and weird. Someone said that Albedo with the adult male model would have worked better and honestly I agree. 

But anyways! Let’s talk design!

Albedo’s colour scheme is simple but works well together, he very much looks like someone who works in a lab with his long white coat, but other than that he looks like a swordsman. It works really well for him since he is a captain in the knights of favonious as well as an alchemist. 

That’s all well and good, it tells you his occupation but it doesn’t really tell you about his personality. Like if I were to show you this guy without any context, you’d assume he’s kind and gentle soul. Which is kind of true (depends on who he’s interacting with) but we know Albedo to be analytical and sort of brisk and cold. Not cruel by any means, but he’s not very nice and gentle either. 

Overall very nice, I like it a lot, I really wanna have a coat like that, 7/10 solid design. 

Diluc

It’s... it’s kinda meh. Is he hot? Absolutely he’s smoldering, but I just... I don’t know. You can tell that he’s rich and all of that since he’s sort of wearing a suit, but that’s it. I also really hate that they didn’t give him coattails, I think coattails would have carried this rich untouchable vibe better. The weird fur is just kind of tacky. 

I feel like giving his outfit more red would help him immensely, I’m not digging the white, it’s just there. For no reason. I guess it helps to break up all the black, but giving him a red vest would have easily done the same thing while staying true to him. He has red on his gloves, why not put a bit more on his body?

I guess my point is more red accents would do him good. Diluc is recognizable, but it’s mostly thanks to his hair. If I gave him a different outfit with the same colours it wouldn’t really change much. He lacks things like like Kaeya’s details or Albedo’s coat that make him really memorable. You could have a character who looks different, but I think to be truly memorable it’s gotta sell the character and suit them. 

Overall, his design is sort of overrated in my opinion.

Ningguang 

Ok ok queen alert I love her so much. Ningguang doesn’t just look hot her design sells her so well I love her. 

You can tell that she’s ruch, elegant, and powerful. The white, gold and black just go so well together and the way it’s placed is just aaaaahhhhh she’s so pretty what the hell. I strive to make a character that looks this good. 

I just have no idea what’s going on with her shorts. That’s like my only complaint. Just give her regular booty shorts? Like Beidou’s? You don’t need the diamonds, if you wanted them you could make it like a pattern. 

But other than that she really looks like she rules a country. She’s just so pretty omg. 

Design aside, Ningguang deserved to be a five star, she’s so strong like there’s a guy who’s Ningguang can so 29k per crystal with her ult. Ningguang has such a strong presence within the game compared to Kequing and Ganyu who are just sort of there. Ningguang is one of the few characters who get a 10/10 in performance, design, and character wise. I love her. 

Beidou

Another queen. I am so whipped for Beidou and Ningguang guys it’s not even funny-

Anyways I love Beidou so much, I love her dress her colour scheme, she’s just so cool. The black and red is consistent and well placed unlike SOME OTHER CHARACTER. 

You can tell that she’s a pirate, that she’s a strong warrior and idk why but she just screams laid back lesbian aunt. Those are the vibes I get from her. I love her. You can’t tell in this image, but she has anchors on the back of her gloves and it’s a really nice touch that adds to her as a pirate. 

The hairstyle, her outfit, the eye patch, Beidou is just iconic and so easy to recognize. I remember not knowing anything about Genshin impact but I saw some advertisements for it and Beidou’s design really stuck with me because I recognized her when I got her. 

Another one of the few who get a 10/10 in all aspects. Love her, and I can’t wait to set sail for Inazuma with her.

who do you think are the most overrated and underrated characters? just curious teehee ❤️

Probably Edd buttt tbh I think May fits this more

Like Edd is the most popular but everyone has a reason for it even though I feel like sometimes those reasons don't align with his character but

I understand liking the kankers due to expanding on them and making your own hcs for them but I feel like not everyone does this

Like with May people latched onto how well intentioned she is in the valentines episode and forget some of the more fucked up things she did (remember when her sisters tied ed to a tree upside down in his underwear as a gift for her and she kissed him and stamped her name on him yea-) and that she isn't powerless like she's fought Marie several times

I love all the kankers but I feel like a lot of people only like May cause she's the cuter or more well meaning of the sisters (also a lot of people that like her make Lee and Marie awful) which I don't think makes her better so yea

Most underrated is Jonny omg he's just a little guy I can never find him annoying idk how people hate him he's just🥺🧡

Also I think he uses Plank to vent his more annoyed or upset feelings which is why Plank can be really rude sometimes

Jonny deserves more love!!!
