My Top 12 Favorite Anime of 2023 (and more)!

This was a great year for anime, so here's a long list of my top 12 (including some bonus great anime). If you get tired of clicking the review links, check out my anime overview collection for all of them here.  You can also check out my list of favorite manga here!

Some of these are ongoing, so consider those only a review of the first cour-- no official endorsement on the rest because it hasn't aired yet!

Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury (Season 2)

When I listed G-Witch in last year's top anime list, I prayed the show wouldn't betray me. Fortunately, it didn't! Though the final half of the show was a bit rushed, it remained must-see, compelling sci-fi full of exciting twists and turns. And I adore the well developed romance between the robot-piloting protagonist and precious girl, Suletta, and her fierce fiancé, Miorine.  Whether you’re here for starcrossed queer lovers, robots wrecking each other, tense battles between opposing political factions, or morally-horrifying moms on a revenge spree, you’re in for a treat.

Yuri is my Job!

Hime is roped into working at a cafe where the waitresses playact as students of the fictional all girl’s school from a beloved novel series. However, Hime finds her co-worker, Mitsuki, has an inexplicable grudge against her. Thus begins a tangled web of romance and wounded feelings among the girls in the cafe! Yuri is My Job seems like a fun comedy boasting a cast full of quirky lesbians, but then reveals itself to be a complicated and fascinating examination of performance- as it intersects with queerness, girlhood,  and the desire to be “likeable” and “cute". It's top-tier lesbian drama full of fraught relationships and it's absolutely worth a watch.

The Apothecary Diaries (still ongoing, review is for the first cour)

Though it's still going, I have to sing the praises of this dazzling anime about a saavy apothecary who uses her medical expertise to solve the many murders and betrayals in the Emperor's palace. MaoMao is a fantastic lead, a poison-obsessed gremlin who's whip-smart, deadpan, and fun to follow. The Apothecary Diaries has intrigue, well-developed characters, and an impeccable atmosphere. It tells a great range of stories, from romantic triumph, to bittersweet tales of recovering from grief, to pure tragedies. I'm totally hooked.

See my full review here.

The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady

When Euphie is dumped by her fiance at a ball, the oddball princess Anis rescues her.  Euphie becomes Anis' assistant in her quest to develop magical tools. The girls also start to develop feelings for each other, while discovering a conspiracy among the nobility. I'm always desperately in need of cool lesbians having action-packed fantasy adventures, and Magirevo delivers. The characters grow in entertaining ways, we get to see them fight dragons in killer action scenes, and the romantic development is completely satisfying. It's a simple story at its core, but the lovable characters, joyous queerness and jubilant execution make it a great watch.

See my full review here.

Birdie Wing: Golf Girls' Story (Season 2)

In the second season of the anime about girls homoerotically golfing while dealing with the mafia and ludicrous family drama, Birdie Wing remains a bombastically absurd sports anime that is fun all the way through. Please come watch these girls get ridiculous sports  injuries, scream their super golf attacks, experience extremely extra plot twists--and be super gay with each other, of course. The finale didn't go quite as hard as I wanted (and the romance is more subtexual than I wanted), but you need to allow yourself to experience the madness of Birdie Wing.

Skip and Loafer

An endearingly dorky, earnest, and driven girl moves from her small town to Tokyo. While she struggles to adjust, she befriends a nice popular boy who's got some baggage. Skip and Loafer is a show that’s like a warm hug. It's sweet, entertaining and funny. It handles adolescent struggles with tender nuance. There's a emphasis on kindness, connection, and looking past stereotypes and misconceptions. It also includes a trans character who's treated with respect (and is a great character in general!) Let this show touch your heart.

Undead Murder Farce

An immortal woman has had most of her body stolen by a mysterious man. Reduced to a head carried around by her maid, she teams up with a half-demon man to track the thief down while solving supernatural mysteries all across Victorian England.

This a fun, campy mystery series starring three asshole weirdo protagonists,  it’s bursting with supernatural creatures and literary references. We've got Sherlock Holmes, The Phantom of the Opera, Carmilla and more...along with a vampire murders and werewolf drama galore. UDM is a wonderful romp with stylish, slick direction... and it’s unexpectedly really gay.  I’m aching to see more of these scrappy misfits and their adventures.

See my full review here.

Migi & Dali

A story of twins who are pretending to be one kid in order to fool their foster parents and find out who killed their mother. It starts out as an utterly absurd comedy becomes a impressive and genuinely tense murder mystery that is incredibly moving at times, all while keeping up it’s signature brand of goofiness. There’s genuine commentary on abuse, the damage you can do to children by forcing perfection on them, the struggle of being a foster kid, grief and recovery and more. There's also some great character development. It's a weird one, but it's absolutely worth sticking with.

See full review here.

Pluto

Somebody is killing the most advanced robots in the  world and murdering humans alongside them. A robot detective is trying to track this killer down, but he might be compromised as well. Pluto is a tense, tense, tightly plotted robot murder mystery that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Through robots, it explores the idea of being a tool in a corrupt system, and tackles subjects like war, imperialism, and the nature of hatred. It's a masterful psychological thriller with stunning animation and a rich story.

See my full review here.

Scott Pilgrim Takes Off

This anime approaches the story of Scott Pilgrim and Ramona's seven evil exes from a brands new angle, and the results are great. We get a exploration of relationships and regrets, the messiness of communication and connection, the trials of becoming an adult, all with the signature goofy video game antics. Characters neglected in previous iterations finally get their due, new facets of the story are explored, queer relationships are delved into more, girls kiss...and it's all accompanied by phenomenal animation and a killer soundtrack.

Soaring Sky! Precure

Sora lives in a world called Skyland and wants to be a great hero. When rescuing the kidnapped baby princess, she falls through a portal to earth. There she meets her fellow magical warriors, and as Precure they protect the princess from the villains!

This vibrant, warm-hearted adventure got me back on the Precure train! This series boasts a lot exciting firsts for the franchise--the first official male cure, the first main cure that's eighteen years old- but above all, it has a lively team of characters with who have an entertaining dynamic and enjoyable individual journeys. It's often very funny, the baby has a surprisingly good character arc, and it's bursting with magical girl (and boy) goodness! It's also not afraid to give you an emotional gutpunch when you've been lured into a false sense of security by all the fun times. If you're new to Precure, this is a great jumping on point, and if you've watched it before, this is a series you won't want to miss.

I'm in Love with the Villainess

Rae is reincarnated as the heroine of her favorite dating sim. But she has no interest in romancing any of the boys- she’s head over heels for Claire Francois, the snooty villainess.

Villainess may not be as polished--storywise or animation-wise-- as these other entries. It's a messy series, it has plenty of problems...but it's also very fun, and it touched my queer little heart like no other. Queer people get to indulge in our imperfect faves too, and the silly shenanigans, blatant lesbian wish fulfillment, honest advocacy for queer people, and the joy and earnestness of the series works for me!

Some Other Great Anime:

Frieren: Beyond Journey's End (still ongoing, review is for the first cour)

Frieren is a long-lived elf who was once part of an adventuring party that saved the world from the Demon Lord. But now her friends are passing away and the world is moving on. She decides to retrace her old party's journey so she can understand what she's feeling.

Frieren is both an interesting examination of what happens after the hero saves the world, as well as a meditation on mortality, grief,  and the endless march of time. It takes you on a quiet, beautiful and sometimes touching journey though a pastoral fantasy world. There's some breath-taking animation and excellent atmosphere to enjoy.

See my review here.

Spy x Family (Season 3)

Spy x Family is pretty much staying the course from when we last checked in,  though this season gives a lot more attention to Yor, and I love the cruise ship arc and all the ridiculous fights she gets into a lot! That arc contains some of my favorite gags of the series too (like Loid’s  attempts to be a cool dad). Otherwise, Spyfam has settled into a series that intends to be around for the long haul, so don’t expect too much forward plot momentum. And Yuri (the man, not the genre) unfortunately still exists. Overall it was good season and remains a fun  adaptation. Yor, please step on me.

[i-like-old-things]

Welcome to another edition of: Unhinged things my history teacher said

Today's episode: 19th century Europe (not including imperialism)

A whole like 30 minutes explaining how if his youngest child was a girl, he wanted to name it Hatshepsut and if it was boy he wanted to name it Shaka Zulu

(about the Belgian Revolution of 1830) "The British and Belgians are tight"

(he mixed up Henri de Saint-Simon and Charles Fourier so he said this about Fourier when he meant to say it about Henri de Saint-Simon) "Another withdraw from society without all of the free sex"

(about Count Camillo Cavour and Giuseppe Garibaldi) "C cubed and G squared"

(about Count Camillo Cavour) "filthy, stinking rich"

He also went on a whole rant for like 45 minutes about how my school was cycling through Italian teachers cuz one was a defrocked nun that apparently was having a little too much fun with another teacher in the copy room (if you know what I mean) and then the next Italian teacher mysteriously stopped showing up and the police found him in a wall because he died during "rough gay sex" and his killer didn't want the teacher to be found

(about Italian unification) "we have a pissed off Pope Pius"

Made us watch this whole rap about Otto Von Bismarck while singing it

[passionesolja]

Just a heads up, I would be downloading every piece of media you can rn, NSFW, SFW because IF project 2025 gets enacted, everything’s being removed and censored. Music. Movies, books, everything. This shit isn’t a mf game like y’all better stop relying on Netflix, Hulu, Apple Music, etc. because those companies aren’t going to say “fuck you, new authoritarian overlords” that shit will be gone. Save that shit. Stock up on DVDs and CDs. Do anything you can to get physical media right now.

I don’t think house searching and ratting out will begin immediately but it doesn’t have to. You know one bitch ass mf, square ass “the laws the law even if it’s unjust” mf who will tell the secret police about you owning a Lesbian/Gay comedy romance flick but fuck it we ball right?

If project 2025 gets enacted, I’m either fighting back in the revolution and going out like a mf G. Or I’m joining the criminal underworld as a smutty resonance novel salesmen/manufacturer

[aziraphales-library]

Hiya lovelies ♡ One of my favorite GO trope is when Crowley and Aziraphale choosing their own side makes other angels and demons reconsider, awakens them to their own free will. I love to believe that what they did with the botched apocalypse had freeing repercussions on heaven and hell. Whether it's just a few questionning angels or demons or a whole revolution.. would you know of any fics with that kind of trope? Thank you so much for satisfying my longing for the awakening of the world ♡

Hello! We have some fics exactly like this here. And I’ve got some now where more angels and demons come to Earth and begin to question Heaven and Hell...

A terrible Demon by CarpeDiem (G)

Aziraphale is meeting with an old friend, the archangel Remiel. They do that every couple of centuries and Aziraphale usually takes her out for dinner. This time Aziraphale slips up and mentions spending time with Crowley lately. To show Remiel that Crowley is in fact a terrible demon and no threat at all, he invites Crowley over. Remiel however remembers Crowley under a very different name...

Here’s Trouble, Make It Double by crepesandoysters (G)

The demon had an amused smile stamped on their face. “So, you propose that we let the two biggest traitors of Heaven and Hell craft the reports about themselves?”

Crowley grinned. “S’really more of a helpful revision.”

--

Among the Top 10 Quickest Ways to Derail an Entire Afternoon:

First, find yourself an angel from Heaven spying on you while lurking in your shop. Second, find a demon from Hell doing the exact same thing but more smugly. Third, mutual convenience is key.

In which Aziraphale and Crowley end up following this list to the letter.

When We Find There's Life on Earth After All by jane_with_a_j (T)

An angel awakens in Heaven from a six thousand year coma, the result of a head injury taken in the First War.

He's missed everything. The entire history of the Earth. Well, except for one thing. He hasn't missed the apocalypse, because the apocalypse, for some reason, didn't happen, and no one seems to know why - or if they do know, they won't say.

He has questions. And if the rumours are true, there's one angel who might have answers: the Principality Aziraphale.

Aziraphale isn't at all what he expected.

And nothing, as it turns out, is quite what it seems.

The Right Thing by olly_octopus (NR)

Crowley’s been kind of minding his own business since that whole nasty affair with heaven and hell trying to execute him and his angel. (It’s probably for the best.) That is, until the Archangel Michael arrives on his doorstep with trembling hands and an apology on her lips and yes, alright, you can have the spare bedroom until your head’s in the right place.

One by one, all four angels find their way into Crowley’s flat and then, one by one, fall in love with humanity the same way Aziraphale and Crowley did 6000 years ago.

(A tale of love, forgiveness, London Pride and the choices one makes. Also, a tale about how the Archangels Michael and Gabriel accidentally became the patron saints of gay culture overnight. Whoops?)

Out Of Hell by corgifeathers (T)

Beelzebub is exiled and cast out of Hell for failure to start the Apocalypse, but that may just be the least of their problems.

Shifting Heaven and Earth by BuggreAlleThis (T)

For most of history, since he narrowly avoiding Falling from Heaven with Lucifer, Crowley has been working for the Angelic Corruption Unit. This ended up being far more boring than he hoped it would be, but things change when he is assigned to go undercover on Earth. His mission is to investigate Aziraphale, an infamous angel who has been on Earth since its Creation, and whom Heaven is sure is guilty of corruption or dereliction of duty. He soon discovers that life on Earth is far more complicated than he'd been led to imagine, especially when Aziraphale's demonic counterpart, Hastur, arrives on the scene.

Grantaire: *secretly opens a bottle of wine*

Enjolras, walking into the room with Courfeyrac: GRANTAIRE WHAT IS THAT

Grantaire, panicked, mouthing to Courfeyrac: Courfeyrac tell him it’s nothing

Courfeyrac, nodding: of course

Courfeyrac, leading Enjolras out of the room: it’s just some Courfeyrac tell him it’s nothing, Enjolras. Don’t worry

Eponine: describe your ideal boyfriend

Cosette: well, he’s handsome, loving, poetic, romantic…

Eponine: you’re just describing Marius, aren’t you?

(later that day)

Eponine: describe your ideal gir-

Marius: Cosette

Valjean: not all your decisions have to be smart. Some can be purely for cinematic value

Combeferre: please say words of encouragement to me so I don’t murder someone right now

Courfeyrac: there are no books in prison

Combeferre: *sighs* thank you

Grantaire: the stars sure are beautiful tonight

Enjolras: do you know what else is beautiful?

Grantaire, leaning closer: what

Enjolras: THE FRENCH REVOLUTION

Marius: I have one brain cell and it bounces around in my head like a windows screen saver. When it hits the exact corner, I can produce one coherent thought

Cashier: sir please just take your fries

Javert: what you’re doing is illegal

Valjean: I’m not taking advice from you. You pronounce the g in lasagna

Marius: EPONINE PLEASE GO TO THE HOSPITAL

Eponine: oh I’m sorry is this OUR gunshot wound? Stay out of it

Enjolras: how the hell did you crash the car?

Courfeyrac: so I was just driving today right? And my navigation told me to go straight. And I was like woah that’s homophobic. Instead I went gay. And that’s when I got in an accident

Enjolras:

Combeferre: *with a proud smile* and that’s who I’m in love with, ladies and gentlemen

Javert: do you know why I have been pursuing you for 17 years

Valjean: because you like me

Javert: omg shut up I do not

I forgot tumblr makes everything into that useless file type so here you go download the audio of Sylvia Rivera's speech from the web archive: "https://archive.org/details/sylvia-rivera-yall-better-quiet-down-1978"

Transcript below

= = =

"Y'all better quiet down.

I’ve been trying to get up here all day for your gay brothers and your gay sisters in jail that write me every motherfucking week and ask for your help, and you all don’t do a goddamn thing for them.

Have you ever been beaten up and raped in jail?

Now think about it.

They’ve been beaten up and raped after they’ve had to spend much of their money in jail to get their self home and to try to get their sex changes.

The women have tried to fight for their sex changes or to become women of the Women’s Liberation and they write STAR, not to the women’s groups, they do not write to men, they write STAR because we’re trying to do something for them.

I have been to jail. I have been raped, and beaten. Many times. By men, heterosexual men that do not belong in the homosexual shelter.

But, do you do anything for me? No. You tell me to go and hide my tail between my legs.

I will not put up with this shit.

I have been beaten.

I have had my nose broken.

I have been thrown in jail. I have lost my job.

I have lost my apartment for gay liberation and you all treat me this way? What the fuck’s wrong with you all?

Think about that!

I do not believe in a revolution, but you all do. I believe in the Gay Power. I believe in us getting our rights, or else I would not be out there fighting for our rights.

That’s all I wanted to say to you people.

If you all want to know about the people in jail – and do not forget Bambi L’Amour, Andorra Marks, Kenny Messner, and other gay people in jail – come and see the people at STAR House on Twelfth Street on 640 East Twelfth Street between B and C, apartment 14.

The people are trying to do something for all of us, and not men and women that belong to a white, middle-class white club. And that’s what you all belong to!

Revolution now! Gimme a ‘G’! Gimme an ‘A’! Gimme a ‘Y’! Gimme a ‘P’! Gimme an ‘O’! Gimme a ‘W’! Gimme an ‘E! Gimme an ‘R’! Gay power. Louder! Gay Power!”

[sneezemonster15]

Hi thanks for answering my ask.

I hope you have a good day/night.

Wanted to say that I love and thankful you, @maoam , @sasukeheart , @sasukechannel ,@sasukeless ,@sasukesun , @sueske and my friend and favourite reblooger @adelalovesmadara .

When lock down started and I was getting bored, I was 13 years old that time and I was big fan of beyblade g revolution sports anime which is popular in India. So in curiosity I searched who is (my favourite character) kai hiwatari's wife? Then I came across fanfiction net, then I knew about about fiction stories then I accidentally read about Tyson(main protagonist)x kai fiction, it contained sm*t so yeah then I knew that even boys can be with each other. So I started read all those fictions then I came to wattpad then with one fiction the author mentioned that he/she shipped sasunaru so I was curious about them.

So I started to read fabrics about them even though I didn't see a single episode till this date. Then I was bored with fiction so I came to Twitter and Instagram naruto fandom I saw many toxic things there...

Then when I came across a narusasu shipper in Instagram and I was scrolling her stories there she/he showed @maoam post screenshot in curiosity I downloaded tumblr and searched about moaom then I saw her theories and facts and I was shocked at the new things I learned.

I accept first I used to ship sasuke and naruto because I thought they were cute but now I am starting to read chapters of manga to learn the full story in the manga after seeing all of sns posts from the above people I think it's better if I stay away with studio peirrot stuff.

Now I stopped with shipping every male characters then ...

You all made me realise about true homosexuality.

In the end hope you all have a happy life. Thanks and I am grateful to you all .

Hello. It's great that you have started to read the manga. The fanfics wouldn't really have the desired effect on the reader anyway unless they read or watch the original, the source material. You can watch the anime, but I suggest sticking to just the canon episodes and even though some of them are mixed canon, it will still have the desired effect on you. The canon episodes don't really stray that much from manga overall.

Most fanfic writers have no idea how homosexuality works and it becomes quite clear after a page or two that it's straight people writing a gay couple. It's mostly really just jerk off material for them anyway, for them to conveniently self insert. They are there just for the smut, they project their heterosexuality over the boys and their relationship. Forget nuances of a gay relationship, they hardly even understand their relationship in canon or the canon narrative. There's no better media in Naruto than the original story anyway. It will give you all the feels that a hundred fanfics cannot give you. At least I haven't found a fanfic that truly captures the SNS dynamic and their characters with all their nuances yet.

I was tagged by @icannotreadcursive and I wound up doing more than 10, because I think there are some interesting data points outside of my most recent 10!

these inward wars once out of hand (T, Original Work)

Avrin sat on the floor of his cell, waiting.

Poured Out Like Water (T, Jesus Christ Superstar)

Judas never expected to wake up.

Gender and Sexuality for Immortals: or how not to start fights in gay bars (and other queer spaces) (T, The Old Guard)

Of all the things that Nile had expected to be doing with her new immortality, getting kicked out of a gay bar because three of the world’s four oldest queers had gotten into a fight with a drag queen was not one of them.

A Lot of Space Between Your Ears (T, Good Omens- book)

It was a sunny June day, nearly a year after the end of the world when Crowley returned to his flat from a leisurely afternoon of sitting outside a café with his feet just slightly too far into the pavement.

Nobody Knows It (T, Stranger Things)

It is just Robin’s luck.

Be Ace, Do Crimes (G, Leverage)

“And then Breanna will come in and flirt with him,” Sophie continued.

Practiced at the Art of Deception (T, Leverage)

“Eliot.”

So there's a lot to learn (and feel deeply called out by) here! Clearly I'm a big fan of starting with the feelings of the PoV character. I'm slightly less likely to do that if I'm intentionally mimicking someone else's style, like in the Good Omens fic, where I was very intentionally trying to sound like the book or the Tanakh fic where I saw trying to sound a little more biblical. But the fact that all of my Heart Attack fics (the first three), start in exactly the same way suggests that a short sentence with the PoV character's name and how they're feeling is a pretty strong default start for me. It's what I did consistently when I didn't have time and wasn't editing much. And only Leverage fics get to start with dialogue, I guess!

I was also really interested to see that "Rust On Their Love" started EXACTLY the same way as the others because that's actually a missing scene. that was never intended to be the first sentence of a fic! So maybe this is something about how I start scenes in addition to how I start entire fics.

But more than the actual sentence structure (which I could obviously mix up sometimes), what's interesting to me is that I so often start fics with my characters somehow vulnerable or unsure. A lot of these start with characters confronting something unexpected or feeling out of their depth in some way. Even the ones that start with dialogue, that dialogue is something that is going to shock or unsettle the main character of the fic. And thinking about it, that makes sense to me! Especially from the PoV character, it's a fun way to get the reader inside their head and make them feel relatable. Narratively, it also gives the character room to grow and that insecurity is often what kicks of the plot. So honestly, I may start making my characters vulnerable at the beginning on purpose. Or if I make a different decision, maybe I'll do it more intentionally. What kind of story and what kind of relationship to the PoV character do you get if they start out from a place of power or confidence? That'd be fun to write!

Anyway, lots to think about! I'd love to see anybody who wants to do this, but especially @when-did-this-become-difficult. If anyone does it, please tag me, this was fascinating and I want to see what other patterns are out there!

[sparkys-ec-corner]

,,,can you please infodump me about to be irregular. idc if it's like five thousand words I just need to knOW MORE-

OMG 😳😳😳 *cracks knuckles* let's go guys (2nd chapter of tbi and sol invictus when, me????? it's been months!!! *cries in hands*)

okok so. basically, tbi's timeline is fundamentally broken from its creation. luna wakes up from her death slumber and tampers with everything to try achieving true utopia, something that every other timeline was unable to. oss era goes mostly the same before Tale of Abandoment in a Moonlit Night, except for the fact that amostia is a fusion of maria's children that seth kidnapped. from oss era on, many events progressively deviate from canonverse

h&g are the only irregular pair from project ma that survives. a fantasy/reality pair, so to speak - gretel develops future sight, is unaffected by any sort of hypnosis and can later peek into alternate timelines for a brief time; hansel can induce hallucinations and delusions unto someone and permanently rewrite their memories.

as arte&pollo, they actively lead banica down the road of gluttony, kidnap carlos since he made banica happy even though they don't like him, and are violently intolerant to anybody who tries interferring with their plans. they're very manipulative and twisted, though mostly because they genuinely believe that they're doing the best for banica.

as ney, she becomes a triple agent for riliane once she breaks through her indoctrination, using her sight to advise riliane which would be the best action to ensure lucifenia's safety and victory.

as lemy, he becomes the fifth pierrot to keep rin chan safe. he very much hated her face change, and tore off the effects of the lust vessel from her face. he's still a good bean for most part. out of all irregulars, he had the happiest, most peaceful life.

WELL. riliane&allen are a day/night pair, their official irregular titles being dayqueen and nightking, respectively. A LOT OF THINGS HAPPEN IN PRIDE ARC, LIKE YOU HAVE NO IDEA. it's here where things start to really change - for one, both vlad and marie are killed by riliane in different points of her life (banica isn't a demon in tbi), so she never loses her memories as shown in "sol invictus".

instead, allen is sent away due to the first awakening of his powers which greatly disturbed elluka (tbh elluka didn't like either twin from day 1; they always felt wrong to her). riliane studies all she can to become a good ruler when time comes. upon allen's return to the palace, the twins pretend not to know each other.

there is a lot of things as i said, but uhhhhhhhhh. the gist of it is that riliane becomes a conqueror, allen is hella gay for asan, asan is an important character since he's able to see past the first layer of reality (he can see the lucifen twins' eldritch forms without much harm to his psyche besides immense fear, for example), riliane's rule lasts much longer than in canon (she's 18 when the revolution happens), and allen kills an entire crowd when he's beheaded to stop riliane from destroying the country. yay

im not yet done outlining envy arc, but inukichi is asan's reincarnation due to allen taking asan's soul with himself and making them reincarnate together. also, ren is alive and amostia's reincarnation (well, kinda. ren's situation is pretty messy)

cain&abel are around, though trapped in anglomois since they were stillborn and unable to reincarnate. they consumed the souls of project ma's failed irregular children in an attempt to stabilize their souls and successfully reincarnate, thus gaining the bodies they don't have. kiril is fighting for his life every day as the kids can consume any soul, it's only that irregulars are more suitable to their goals but they will eat whatever stays in their way. also, they're the reason why eve's hypnosis-induced incarnations are sleepless

amostia is the irregular who came the closest to ascending before seth sealed him away. he floats in the void ever since, only receiving sporadic visits from luna, and constantly attempts projecting himself into people's dreams. by grath arc, he's visited by michelle who accidentally entered the void and eventually becomes her guardian angel/friend/lover. that is, until ma happens and michelle is erased from reality. it's only downhill from this point on, but [major spoilers that aren't even fully outlined lmao]

btw ma is an anomaly even amongst irregulars, and luna had to personally shove her into lukana's body before ma's very existence destroyed the universe (a note: she did it in a span of two seconds)

besides that, many arcs are fully or partially focused in minor characters such as rindo for lust arc, asan for pride arc, rin chan for sloth/pierrot arc, etc. i theorically could get into detail, but tbh this is already excessively long. so like,,,,,, yeah,,,,,, haha. oh god i hope i can continue writing this au soon

[rainbowgod666]

Infinity card Gamma. The gamma symbol based off the latin/greek alphabets shaping the present language.

In that alphabet gamma Γ takes position on 3. Though curios here because the minuscule letter gamma comes out to be a γ. Which here brings it to the judgement card. As temperance brought the dove to the serpent. The serpent descends on the accused….accused of being innocent. 🫣

R-r. Y-y. Γ-γ. (Y-r.) EFΓI

More fun with my project.

Theres Issing finding a suitable definition for gamma. As for all letters Greek. It ranges from darkness to light.

Logical/mathematic, to sensitive And heartfelt. Being described towards the tendency to conflict avoidance.

To be saved from being framed into an entropic state of being instead of its proper place of elevation and freedom from the curse.

At anytate. Almost time to go back to “work” where i work with the effeminate foreigner, who’s apparently straight. And disassociate with everyone else. Not much of a lose. Since most of them are negative by nature.

Anyway, to continue. Since this card has no english letter and isn’t bound by number other then the sum of all time. Its natural placement fallowing the emperor would naturally guess at it being by letter G. Giving to this card number 7. With this one may close the opening symbolic sentence of Γ♾️7. And by tarot to number 6. The pope, the chariot and the lovers. If this binding is undone. Γand 7 flip. Back. The cards for the wheel and for death are found. Along with the hermit. The missing symbol shows for the instant a void in meaning and satisfaction. This suggests that infinity is a constant effort. If the serpent and good will are separated. A beak down in the relationship ensues and the capitalized i of joy becomes solitude.

Here for amusement. We have the lemiscate. With cards for letters XHC. The sun as is connected to sex. H as is connected to love. And C connected to the high priestess. While at the same time connected to J, the chariot. A center point controlling both horses. The wheel suggest a new moment of revolution. And motion forwards atesting to the superficial connect the wheel has to the three fate on the feminine side of the experience.

Though the only full use of rotating symbols is the minuscule b. bdpq. One would assume that these four cards all share the same nature. Magician-empress-hanged man -death. As W is to M. And N is to Z. The magician is the reflection of the empress as is the hanged man the reflection of death. The magician is also the reflection of the hangedman as is the empress the reflection of death. The two points of sigularity is the relationship between the empress and the hanged man. And that of the magician to that of death.

Thus the magician is intimately connected to life. And the hanged man. As is the empress intimately connected to death and the hanged man. The two cards of waite’s magician and that of the hanged man are a pair. The magician and death or opposites. The empress and the hanged man are opposites. The woman then becomes the life function and the man becomes the death function.

Its all pretty queer. So. Im going to stop here.

And well om going to start teeatment women lle everyone treats me. As sluts. Get them all horny and shit. And say “sorry, i’m gay. You font get none. Going on years of this. Say hi! And they turn sexual. And then im cast off victimized on apporach to turn downthe sexual part and be friendly. accused of be a villain. All part of the script. Lining me up for failure. Sometimes its astrological other times they do the tarot. Somits hard to learn. Too much interference.

How many more years do you guys want to steal from me? Continue my suicide plan. Or was i just born to serve multiple life sentences?

I don’t think that the bdpq are a valid way in tarot with too much complexity. Other than at the moment to serve as example that one letter of four is always singled out. Neither mind which side of the rhombus one starts with. And with all the bending of laws used to arrive at a Gamma while keeping common sense stimulated. And here the dragon card serves as a one sided rhombus. The fourth point is vacant.

Save, if the alien negation,was set by manipulations. Progression wouldn’t be missing out key points of development. Retarding growth. No one cares, im just viewed in this discredited manor. Popping over the top on bs that isnt even relavant, sluring their own dumb over biased pin on it agaisnt me. Not, as violent as mother. Though just as domineering. As every other person on the planet to my existance. The vancancy of this spot. May actually be that i. That minuscules I radiating with bright sun light above.

The i is no different than an apostrophe ! Mirrored reflections. As waite’s i is an exclamation.

Actively keeping hatred and vents of oppressed contents on constant effect. I don’t want to be alive anymore. And there’s no one there available that i would want to work with. Its all just depressing knowing yournin a cage. Wothout explanation and fullnof cuntards using their god given right to torture me. Oh well guess om never goingto know whay it is not to be stressed like this. 39 years and counting.

Well guess i can forget about self accomplishments. I tried.

Instead here i am playing with brainwashing. Solving a puzzle. Which i think i accomplished. No what. It was fun, but i didn’t learn anything. I dont need this treatment. Its a waste of life. It’s fun sometimes when you see their card script in motion. This card then that card. Oh im talking aboutnit so you got to olay that card and reflect me. Blahda blahda. Hope he doesnt girly talk to me or like the other one give me that moody woman thing they do. I want it. But not from yous. A healthy relationship that isn’t over twisted or perverted. Or coming from tv which automatically means that it is. I want it from a healthy relationship from the opposite sex. Where there isnt outside interference raping the experience with background bs to set me off down an entropic path. But since thats not a possibility. I choose nothing. Waste the life. Quiet. To speak. Im here to work be manipulated and hurt. Let me do my time. So i can go back home. Alone. And fantasize anout sucking off my riffle.

And its fantastic that you keep my personal script on this and nothing else. Sorry about the sarcasm. I don’t like it. I dont want a relationship. Can even have one to myself. Only with god. But god isnt human. And only frequents on occasion.

But they did leave a certain complexity to the moment. They got the good side and they got the bad side. The bad side attacks, without provocation. The good side, leaves suggestions and an open door. The organized breakdown of momentum. Was focused on the job. And not the “relationship.” I wanna have fun. No leo for you. You got the oppostirenof the new age union bs.

An allegorical functional blender, raw eggs, pizza, milk, coffee, kale, bananas…etc. into one big slurpy smoothy concoction. Drinking it down. Call it a spectrum. Maybe you got more pizza than peanut butter. Your over here on the spectrum. Its not a choice. You are what you eat. You know. If you eat alot of pussy then, you’re one two. Ha! No number three. Three is a period! Boo yah! No sex for me tonight!

Shrink “i want to expand on this elation to not having sex.

You too!

“No, why did you reach for the handle to a door of responsibilities for human welfare?

Oh, … it’s a better option. Because it’s the furthest thing away from the apparent demon stellium of pain, sabotage and martyrdom. Because. I want to be in the know about something. Cant be in the know for myself. Other people having taken the responsibility for themselves. Not that i dont make it easy for them. I have somethign to talk to. But since its just me. Its nothign good. There’s not much to me that isn’t.

And women are, pretty and soft. And more delicate. And receptive. Appeal is motivational. I want to trust with my pain. I dont want pity. Or spite. An i, surrounded by suspension and destruction. Judgement or …E-fool. Reckless. Theres no pouring of hearts. Gross. But the maternal aspect for nourishing growth is a very wondrous thing.

Why do you think one loves going to the dentist so much? Why it’s women who pull out the teeth? And give a gentle touch to ones lips. They really ride that saturn pluto in scorpio. Sexualizing the experience of the release of discomfort. Comfortable chairs. Relax. For a breif moment all chaos is gone. With a 1000$ prize tag. Which instently vanishes the moment one steps back out those doors.

Holy creation batman! Its platonic. That was a good show.

Still ehat eights years after leaving the family still havent stopped beign attacked. Ive been battered, abused, oppressed, manipulated, destabilized, drugged, harrased and perverted. Life is great. Oh yeah and retarded. Bye bye personal growth.

Wonder what emancipation feels like. Anyway i dont want it now. What would i do? Im probably being watched right on on video. With secret fucken cameras.

Shile 90 percent of all television that specidically targets me puts my postion into a role p’ayed by women. Yup. Platonic was good though. First time in years where my disposition wasnt villainized. Yeah sure, im being fucken treated into spychotic bursts of anger and hatred amd despair because im being beaten on. And im the villain?! Da fuk! A little peace and quiet after being gorced out onto the street on the coldest night of the year. Hey! Is that a blood moon?! Yay! Its only going to last another ten years. Time to continue the bs of being oprresses and passofied ive ln’y been here gor the last 20 years. Hé’ why not more? Fuck the world.

Now i got to suffer with this shit the rest of my life? God i hope i dont make it to retirement. Do i can spend the last 5-10 years with nothing to do but think about history. At lest i can work to take the mind of it periodically.

Looki g up at that blood moon. While the gay roommate abused me with his gay bs. Setting off alarms. While im chemically unbalanced with anti-depressants. Trying to force me to do his laundry. Eating all my food. And guess what. The only reason why he said yes. Was cause he thiught he was going to get laid! H

Thats all i am. Im just a dildo. Here to be abused. Time and time again. All the back to childhood. Life doesnt change. Just finds new ways to harm you.

On This Day In History

June 24th, 1973: Sylvia Rivera gives her "Y'all Better Quiet Down" speech.

“I may be… You all better quiet down. I’ve been trying to get up here all day for your gay brothers and your gay sisters in jail that write me every motherfucking week and ask for your help, and you all don’t do a goddamn thing for them. Have you ever been beaten up and raped in jail? Now think about it. They’ve been beaten up and raped after they’ve had to spend much of their money in jail to get their self home and to try to get their sex changes. The women have tried to fight for their sex changes or to become women of the Women’s Liberation and they write STAR, not to the women’s groups, they do not write to men, they write STAR because we’re trying to do something for them. I have been to jail. I have been raped, and beaten. Many times. By men, heterosexual men that do not belong in the homosexual shelter. But, do you do anything for me? No. You tell me to go and hide my tail between my legs. I will not put up with this shit. I have been beaten. I have had my nose broken. I have been thrown in jail. I have lost my job. I have lost my apartment for gay liberation and you all treat me this way? What the fuck’s wrong with you all? Think about that! I do not believe in a revolution, but you all do. I believe in the Gay Power. I believe in us getting our rights, or else I would not be out there fighting for our rights. That’s all I wanted to say to you people. If you all want to know about the people in jail – and do not forget Bambi L’Amour, Andorra Marks, Kenny Messner, and other gay people in jail – come and see the people at STAR House on Twelfth Street on 640 East Twelfth Street between B and C apartment 14. The people are trying to do something for all of us, and not men and women that belong to a white, middle-class white club. And that’s what you all belong to! Revolution now! Gimme a ‘G’! Gimme an ‘A’! Gimme a ‘Y’! Gimme a ‘P’! Gimme an ‘O’! Gimme a ‘W’! Gimme an ‘E! Gimme an ‘R’! huh— Gay power. Louder! Gay Power!”

Finnpoe Rec List!

There’s some really fantastic Finnpoe fics out there and I’ve been setting aside fics from my bookmarks for this for a while! These are just some of my faves, so enjoy!! 

Canon/Canon Adjacent (not AUs outside general Star Wars universe) 

“how to become the spark” by sassy_ninja (G - 49.7k

Poe Dameron, commander of the Resistance fleet, best pilot in the galaxy, hotshot trigger-happy flyboy, he's all of these things plus a little bit more. This is the story Poe Dameron, shy farmboy, doting son, idiot gay, soldier who tries his best not to be broken by the war roaring around him and most of all just a human in a galaxy which doesn't care about things like love, friendship and fear. This is how he breaks and how he begins to heal again and how he starts to learn what it means to be alive. Or Poe Dameron's life from his childhood to the end of the war.

“bathed in blue light” by delgay (M - 17.4k)

When Finn turns to his right, Poe stands beside him, looking up at Finn and giving him what might be a smirk if he weren’t too busy smiling. It’s that same smile that’s made home on his face ever since Finn said, “I’d like to see Yavin IV. If I’d be welcome.” Poe had blinked fast, but the smile came slow. “Buddy,” he’d replied, “I’m offended that you even had to ask.”

A year after the Battle of Exegol, Finn and Poe visit Yavin IV. While there, Finn struggles with the Force and his complicated relationship with Poe.

“we slept with our backs against the weather” by bogpersons (T - 8.4k)

Poe’s breaths come in stops and starts, and wheezes on the inhale and exhale. He sounds like a dying man. Finn lifts Poe’s hand to his lips, presses it there, squeezes his eye shut. Something harsh and painful swells in his chest, finds a place under his heart and pushes and pushes and pushes until Finn can barely breathe with it. You are a Human Person. Finn and Poe crash on a jungle planet. Finn struggles with himself.

“We Stan A Healthy Family Dynamic (The Kes Verse)” by AphroditesTummyRolls SERIES (Not rated, 161.7k)

Get in losers, we're giving the Star Wars Sequel cast the story they deserved-- Particularly Poe and Finn.

[Set after the events of TFA, rewrites of TLJ and neat little bits in-between. Poe deals with the aftermath Kylo Ren’s interrogation, dealing with regret and trauma, with the help of his friends and dad through a rewrite of TLJ.]

“your love will be safe with me” by incalyscent (T - 8.6k)

when finn stripped away the violence from himself, what did he have left? it was love; love; love.

“i’m yours (and suddenly you’re mine) by spacepilotprince (E - 4.3k)

Finn snorts against Poe's stomach, and it forces a ticklish laugh out of him. “Laying it on a little thick tonight, aren't you?” Finn asks as he looks up at Poe, and finds that grin he heard in his voice.

“Not the only thing that's thick,” Poe says with a smirk, glancing down between them towards Finn's cock.

“Oh, shut up,” Finn laughs, surging up to kiss him, muffling Poe's laughter. Poe runs his hands over Finn's shoulders and tips his head aside, sending Finn's mouth down his jaw and neck.

“Contact” by earthmylikeness (M - 9.9k)

Because what could Finn do but live through it? Live in the remains of his own shipwrecked mind, his badly-crossed wires. Imagine Poe’s perpetually bitten mouth on him - his wide, calloused hands on his bare chest, pulling him down and down whenever he so much as closes his eyes. 

Finn has a delayed reaction to surviving the crash.

“Best Laid Efforts” by cosmicocean (T - 3.7k) @cosmicoceanfic

In which Jessika and Temmin do their best, aren't even subtle about it, and Poe and Finn are still morons.

“Ad Pacem” by SteveTrevorsStarship (T - 1.5k) 

Finn knows war and rebellion so far. He doesn’t know peace. (Yet.)

“First Comes the Night” by coffeeinallcaps (E - 20.1k)

He doesn’t get nightmares. He doesn’t dream about the mask, the cries of the villagers, waking up in the desert with a blinding headache and his mouth filled with blood and the man who’d saved him gone, most likely dead. Instead, he just can’t sleep.

“have you heard” by peradi (Not rated, 42.1k)

"I heard FN-2187 was a Stormtrooper." 

Finn sparks a revolution.

“Doubt” by Cadoan (T - 1.4k) 

After the battle of Crait, something has changed in Poe. Poe can't sleep, and Finn goes to find him.

“Neither Here Nor There” by d8rkmessengr (T - 7.8k)

Sometimes, it felt like he wasn't really here. Sometimes, it felt like it wasn't really over. And the one person who tethered him left to finally tell Rey something. Post The Rise of Skywalker.

“How to Be a Finn” by Ayashiki (G - 111k)

In a hindsight, all of it - the stolen childhood, the crash on Jakku, Han Solo's death, even the lightsaber to the back - was easier than living in this world of invisible social clues and inside jokes, the whirlwind of this ragtag family that defied any logic, the caring, the compassion, the love. And all the while people tell him: Finn, you are so brave! Finn, you are so strong! Finn, you are so kind! Finn, thank you for saving my life! And FN-2187 looks to the stars and desperately tries to find this "Finn" everyone seems to know in himself.

“On the Other Side” by StarMaple (T - 27.2k)

Finn discovers the differences first hand between the First Order and the Resistance and establishes a space for himself on D'Qar.

“we are all stardust” by synergenic (Losseflame) (Not rated, 15.3k)

Finn wakes up. He wakes up slow, the rising tide of consciousness making him aware, firstly, of how stale his mouth tastes. Then it's the general stiffness of his body, the foreign feeling of a pillow beneath his head, the softness of the clothes he's wearing. Finn doesn't think he's ever worn clothes so soft.

“No Sleep till Brooklyn” by TheCarrot (T first chapter, second chapter E, - 10.4k)

Poe is exhausted. And not just because he hasn’t slept for more than three hours at a time in Force knows how long. Moreover it’s the 39 flights he’s run in the last 22 days and the fact Pava had gotten deathlike sick eight days ago and then they had fallen behind on a few supply runs and an emergency evacuations of some of their pathfinders and then there had been a last minute scramble to one of their allies in the mid rim with far too many TIEs to be comfortable and then- well, Poe just wants to fall over onto the floor and stay there.

AUs

“Time of the Underdog” by beeeawolf, SERIES. (G & T, 56k)

Modern times AU, Poe is a former Navy pilot who was discharged after a crash and being a POW. Finn is a university student who manages to catch Poe’s run away dog, BB-8, who’s literally everything to him.

“We Didn’t Start the Fire” by MayGlenn and cognomen (E - 10.7k)

There’s a calm that claims them all when they’re working and it’s going the way it’s supposed to; the low-level hum of concentration and focus and adrenaline that keeps them on edge without panic. The crew deploys from Idaho, a home base that they see perhaps 3 weeks out of the entire 26 week fire season, interspersed with time in camps and housing all over the country. This week, it’s California—sunny, liberal, beach lined, and on fire.

Finn's a Hotshot firefighter; Poe's the team Helitack operator. They're headed to California to fight a fire in San Jacinto; dangerous country.

“It’s Not Goodbye” by mssrj_335 (T - 25.9k)

Finn is an ex-soldier on a solo motorcycle trip across America. Poe is the mechanic in a small desert town. Poe wants to keep his secrets and Finn is running from something--or toward it--and the part for his bike is going to take at least a week to come in. What starts as a quick stop and awkward flirt devolves into a conspiratorial intrigue of a very personal nature. Lights in the desert, headaches and vague memories all point Finn to something that has Poe tied in knots. He just has no idea how far that something will take him.

“A Possibility (A Promise)” by sapphistication (T - 5.9k)

Poe, Prince of Yavin, is briefly reunited with the Resistance Fighters lead by General Leia Organa. After three years apart, he quickly finds that his affections for Finn are of a different nature than he remembers. Despite the war they find themselves in, they share a few moments of peace by the fire, filled with soft words and meaningful smiles. Time works against them, but Poe seeks a possibility and makes a promise.

[Transcript: An audio clip of Sylvia Rivera giving her speech to a crowd, who can be heard at the start before she begins her speech, saying:

"Y'all better quiet down.

I’ve been trying to get up here all day for your gay brothers and your gay sisters in jail that write me every motherfucking week and ask for your help, and you all don’t do a goddamn thing for them.
