Obsessed with Lloyd never mentioning his grandfather is the First Spinjitsu Master, apparently to the point even Arin didn't seem to know, because "eh, it never came up". Cause like, yeah, sure, my grandfather is God, what of it? Normal day for me. Shit happens. My dad is also evil, you wanna talk about that? I sure don't.
It's also funny from a character arc perspective. Here's itty bitty baby first season Lloyd, loudly proclaiming he's the son of Garmadon, and probably also making sure everyone knows he's God part 3 electric boogaloo. And then one Tomorrow's Tea and a few more years later and he's doing everything physically possible to NOT care about his heritage. In fact he'd probably rather his parentage was literally anyone else. Dude could care so less he forgets about it most of the time. King behavior.

just saw some more bullshit discourse (hate) on original characters that essentially boils down to ‘all original characters are the same and / or just self-inserts & thus, invalid in any rpc’. now, i don’t even know where to begin with the stupidity of this statement, but i guess what it boils down to (for me at least) is: a character being canon doesn’t make them any more important or justified to exist than an original character. all canon characters started out as original characters. just because you have pre-existing source material / media doesn’t make your character any more important than one that someone created just for the sake of writing on tumblr / any other collaborative platform. original characters are not, by default, self-inserts. that’s one of the dumbest things i’ve ever heard. even still, if someone really wants to write a self-insert character, it’s not your business to police it. curate your space, make yourself comfortable, but don’t make everyone else uncomfortable while doing it. <3

Whats your current odd quote that's in your vocab? Picked up from Internet slang or a friend or just your own. Mine is currently "that's your/their prerogative" when people make decisions I think are stupid or rude

May as well since it's dancing around, so!
Toshinori Yagi is bisexual, with a leaning towards pan. The pan is mostly because he's dating/married to Fin, who is neither gender, and he does feel attraction for feminine, masculine, and neutral presentations/bodies. So- man's out here trying to sort if he's bi or pan. Kinda flip-flops.
He identifies as male/he's cis, and he goes by he/him pronouns and the like. Always dresses masculine- not really a big fan of dresses and whatnot. He'll wear them if requested, but they make him just a little uncomfortable...loves a pretty kimono (so one that feels more fem than masc to him) though, and good luck making him shy away from feminine colors/getting his nails done.
Finley Well is a flavor of graysexual/demisexual. They very rarely feel sexual attraction, and it pops up more often with those they've already developed a deep bond with. Gender presentation means very little to them, but if you're someone they have feelings for? You could dress in a trash bag and still get them to nosebleed. Doesn't matter what your gender is.
Fin identifies as nonbinary, and presents in a semi-masculine manner. Fin goes by they/them pronouns and gender neutral terms, but they're fine with more masculine/male-leaning terms. They despise wearing dresses and anything 'feminine' leaning. Much prefer a solid suit. They are AFAB, so they have female equipment- but they try to dress in loose clothing as much as they can so that no one can see their chest. They're considering top surgery- but have yet to develop the guts to go through with it (haha....).
Yagi's family would have been pro-LGBTQ+. His adoptive family...not so much, but they wouldn't have stopped Yagi if he did develop non-heteronormative relationships. Nana Shimura, who kinda became his last 'mother' of sorts, supported him full-heartedly, as did Gran Torino, though Torino is still confused about the whole concept in general. Just 'whatever makes you young whippersnappers happy, just leave me out of it'.
Fin's parents are very much LGBTQ+-phobic. Fin and Yagi met their folks while they were at I-Island, and when said parents kept calling Fin 'their darling daughter', Yagi stepped in, grabbed them, said 'I fucked them, now if you need me, I'm going to go have a lovely day with my S P O U S E', and walked off. Fin was both mortified and relieved.

I don't even stan Mikasa but "she only cares about Eren" will never be a point for why she's poorly written. She does care about her friends, literally the "mom" friend and is the first to help gabi and falco. It's just that a majority of her scenes are with Eren(mc privilege).
But even so she's allowed to be selfish, she only cares about saving one boy? fine 👌🏼. She's allowed that. She would've never chosen the corps if he didn't, she wanted a quiet life with him and she's allowed to wish for that.
People love male characters doing the "idc about anyone else but (my love interest) ", why do different standards apply to her?
There is a lot to say about isayama failing to do justice to his female characters, some start off strong and get sidelined as the story moves past, then get shoved into a romantic plot? (Annie, Mikasa), few are well written,however briefly it may be(gabi,historia, og ymir )
I am asking you to look at this from a completely unbiased view, regardless of who your favourite character/ship is especially because this is such a common criticism for her.
