Still a bit unfamiliar w tumblr so i wasnt sure how i could respond to ur reblog but OMG.. your thoughts on how Masato viewed sawashiro on my og post never really crossed my mind before but I LOVE it!! Thank u for adding to it!!! I kinda forgot that Masatos hatred wasnt just at his dad specifically, but at yakuza as a whole!

It was a pleasure to talk more about Sawashiro! Thank you for writing about him, i don't feel like he is getting enough attention within the fandom (just like the rest of the Arakawa family actually, minus Ichiban), it's always a party whenever i see someone liking underrated parts of Y7 on my feed! i wish i could give more insightful thoughts about Sawashiro but I'm more of a Masato/Aoki guy haha. there are several things i think would be worth digging into about his character though, such as the treatment he got in IW (that i greatly enjoyed), or his hatred towards Ichiban - I still feel confused as to why he felt the need to treat Ichiban like he did, how he could emotionally justify his abuse towards him. I don't exactly get how his behavior could be explained, but I think this is part of what makes his character so complex : he has to be difficult to understand in order to be appealing. there's one thing though that I like to bring up (and that i already made a post about some time ago) when talking about Sawashiro that maybe you would like thinking about : it is kind of neat to realize that both Arakawa and Sawashiro were raised in abusive and violent household - Arakawa's mom was the one who gave him his scar on his face (and it is heavily implied that this wasn't the only time she physically abused him), and we know the only thing Sawashiro associated with his home was his father's fists. This abuse being one of the first thing we learn about Arakawa, it contextualizes the fact he actually TRIES to be a good father (and even tries TOO MUCH sometimes) even more heartwarming, as he is actively trying to break the cycle of abuse. But when we look at Sawashiro and the way he treats Ichiban, we can see his behavior is an exact replica of the ones he grew up around. it is interesting to interpret these different ways of parenting as opposite ways to react to their similar upbringing, but i also find it satisfyingly tragic that Arakawa, despite all of his effort to create a safe and loving environement for his son - and then later Ichiban who he viewed as another son - to grow up in, still ended up recreating a similar family dynamic than the one HE grew up with, with one abusive (Sawashiro) and one loving parent (himself), because he let Sawashiro in the family. Of course this way of viewing the Arakawa family as a reluctant perpetuation of the cycle of abuse isn't perfect at all (it relies a lot on the idea that Sawashiro should be seen as some sort of father figure to Ichiban, which is never implied in the games), but it is a reading that i find really satisfying and compelling :) i hope you'll find it interesting as well!

Hey as a super introverted but not shy person I'd just like to say the jokes about extroverts "adopting" introverts to "get them out of their shell" are actually completely unfunny and it just goes to show how little respect a lot of y'all have for the fact that we genuinely don't want excessive social interaction and that y'all are forcing us to do something that brings us extreme physical and mental discomfort because you perceive our introversion as a failing rather than as purely a difference in personality.

We don't need your "help" to socialize. We're not children. We're simply not interested in spending every waking second of our lives talking to people and being talked at in return.

I watched an mdzs animatic with a song from wicked, and something in my mind finally clicked and now I want to scream about how similar my current and my past hyperfixations are.

"Good news, the witch is dead!" like

"No good deeds" is such a "character pushed to their limits" song. Imagine it before the nightless city. The first scream, as Wen Ning and Wen Qing walk away. The chanting as he lies there, unable to move, praying for them to be well. Memories of people he loves: Jiang Cheng and Jiang Yanli, Lan Zhan, the Wen siblings.

"Was I really seeking good, or just seeking attention?" -- as he looks at the burial mounds and leaves.

"If I cannot succeed, Fiero, saving you, I promise no good deed will I attempt to do again." -- as he learns about Wen Qing and Wen Ning's death.

Ending with him arriving at Nightless city and pulling out the flute.

I want to see it animated so much!

My skills are so annoyingly not up to the task. Maybe if my hyperfixation survives long enough that I learn drawing and animating things well? It'll be the third mdzs animatic I really wish to do one day. Maybe one day.

you know what, another good reason to have a folding/ camping kitchen knife is that I could bring it with me when I'm going to someone else's house where I might want to help in the kitchen and would otherwise have to use their terrible knives

I'm gonna ruin this because I don't know how to be normal about having a crush unless I'm high apparently

[autisticlee]

always told "is better to have 1-2 good friends than 20 not so good friends" or things like that. but... kinda not better tbh. can't rely on 1-2 people to always be there when you need someone. is nice to have more options. gareuntee *someone* can be there at any time.

but reality is I can't have many friends and can't expect 2 friends I do have to pay attention to me when need someone. afraid to annoying them and make them leave like everyone else. so all I can do is suffer alone ._.

people who are like i just cant help it i love watching people die horrifically and have their limbs cut off. its because im autistic okay. anyways do you think im cool and edgy and #fucked up. also ive loved cannibalism ever since i was little haha. yeah i know im fucked up and have issues and make myself a problem for other people but i am unable to take accountability for my actions because of mental illnesses and trauma. im extremely cool because i love watching videos of (majority non-white) people die on the internet. are you scared of me? i want you to be scared of me soooo bad. if you dont engage with my fantasy of being treated like the equivalent to jeffrey dahmer than i have no interest in talking to you. what do you mean its abundantly clear ive never met someone whose actually killed another person…. no i cant explain prison abolition to you what lmfao

I am very glad the new aa Fangamer merch exists but will not get because honestly I'm so f(squeak)ing tired of just Phoenix and Edgeworth merch in the west.

And im broke.

Also bc the poster is pretty old art so does that mean more old art will be released through Fangamer as posters???

Because please do i beg of you.
