#like genuinely rancid behavior tbh

[fadedin2u]

hey guys! this bullshit is blatant transphobia, and absolutely disgusting.

women are still women if they have dicks, and if u say otherwise, that’s transphobia baby

call this shit out when u see it, and keep in mind that unless someone’s writing shit that’s morally wrong (which i know we’ve all seen), u don’t have to say gross stuff like this, u don’t like it don’t read it <3

So it seems like, the streamer who didn't like aerith at first liked her in rebirth because she's mature here and has a great friendship with tifa and cloud? They didn't say anything about how she's treating zack tho. All I'm going to say, with everything we heard, saw, and just tbh with you, that so called "context" needs a miracle level typa shit. But this also means that she'll also get away from all her bad behavior? Uh, she might turn into a mary sue for real this time. I don't think we'll be hearing an apology at all. I suppose, even though she does questionable things, as long as she does something good, it's all fine.

Idk what that person saw but everyone in my GC also mentioned this and was like wtf has she been smoking? No offence.

Aerith is rancid in every single scene. She literally cosies up to Tifa so she can steal Cloud by learning what Tifa knows about him. She hears about the water tower being a date spot in Nibelheim and demands Cloud take her up there, then drags him up there and then waves at Tifa who's in her room at the time.

That's the bitch that person thinks is nice and mature.

Cloud gets pissed in every optional response in that scene and doesn't even wanna be there, so that's literally the only redeeming thing about the situation.

Genuinely, I believe the devs goal is to make everyone hate her and see that everything she did was fucking disgusting, two faced and harmful. There's no other way to interpret it.

What is the basis of Akito and Shigure's relationship aside from the curse? You seem to have good insight into that dynamic but I've never understood what they like or want about the other aside from the curse

tbh shigure and akito just remind me of really mean people who hang out with other really mean people so they can just enable each other and never change their behavior LOL like grace and simon from infinity train. this is also why i think they should break up haha

i think that with these two there’s just a lot going on pre-canon that we don’t know about, because where we enter the story shigure and akito are already at odds. we know that shigure was basically akito’s confidant before he cheated and that akito sought comfort from him. from akito’s perspective, i think that shigure was the only one who ever wholeheartedly and genuinely expressed love for them. i’m sure hatori and ayame were affection with akito as well, but ayame and hatori resented the curse in a way that shigure never did.

for shigure, i honest to god have no idea what he sees in akito LMAO like every aspect of akito’s personality that we the audience experience is just rancid. if i had to guess i’d say that akito is also very intelligent and well-read (we see them reading quite often and i think it’s safe to say that akito is smart generally) and shigure probably appreciates that, as he values intelligence. akito is also bluntly honest which is definitely complimentary to shigure’s talking-around way of doing things.

i also think there is an aspect to shigure and akito’s relationship that is present in ALL the zodiac relationships, which is that they’re trauma bonded. they don’t feel like anyone else can understand them and they’re functionally trapped on the estate together with only each other to commiserate with. like, i don’t really know if hatori and shigure would be friends if they weren’t also in this situation, though as it stands they do compliment each other. 

these are really all just guesses, i don’t know why people fall in love. SO much of their relationship happens offscreen and what we do see in the story is entirely conflict so it’s hard to say. the curse is definitely what initially drew shigure to akito but shigure trying to break the curse so he can pursue a relationship with akito speaks volumes. if the curse is the only thing drawing him to akito, why is he trying so hard to break it? it doesn’t make sense. we see a few moments onscreen of shigure and akito confiding in one another, but otherwise, because akito is the antagonist, we don’t see a lot of everyday interactions between the two of them.

what do your kinshifts feel like?

LONG ASS POST WARNING‼️

Personally I tend to notice kinshifts when my behavior and interactions with people change- I feel a very particular way about certain things, or my daydreams more often than not end up having to do with those from my canons. I miss certain people more, or my feelings suddenly change about specific people from my canon. I also tend to feel a lot less strongly about my other kins, sometimes removing them from my list just to add them back later when I feel a shift. And this may sound rancid, but when I’m in a kinshift, I tend to feel very agitated or annoyed seeing others with the same kin or feeling a strong sense of (unrightful) possessiveness seeing someone from my source being close with them. Not to say that anyone sharing a kin with me is invalid (they absolutely aren’t invalid in any way and my personal beliefs enforce that), but it’s an involuntary feeling that arises in my kinshifts. Behavior wise, there’s usually a very noticeable shift in what I do or want or my emotions.

If you’re asking about specifics of my kinshifts, I’ll just tell you what I’ve noticed!

Kakyoin :

~ My dysphoria gets stronger- not in the way of wanting to be more masculine as I’m fairly feminine, but feeling upset by any hyper feminization by those in my life (and occasionally within the fandom). There’s just a strong disconnect between myself and others emotion wise.

~ I tend to feel more passive and wear my more flowy clothing or button ups and spend more time on my hygiene, actually bothering to do things like put my damn earrings in or do my hair. I also seem to be more careful with what I eat and take care to finish any tasks and chores.

~ While my motivation for things increases, so does my will to talk to people. I speak noticeably more friendly to people (read: I’ll be really friendly casually until a full on encounter occurs, in which case, I’m shaking in my boots with uncertainty) and my tone changes drastically, so that’s always a hint. With that being said though, my words come out much more naturally and I don’t sound as much like a broken record.

~ This is literally the main thing that I noticed between kinshifts in the beginning, but in my Rohan shifts I felt a strong interest in body modifications or body art- like piercings and tattoos. In my Rohan shifts I’d have a clear feeling that I’d want some sort of tattoo or get random piercings, specifically nipple piercings, and then when I would be in my Kakyoin shift, I couldn’t not notice that I just had no will or want to alter or mark my body. This was during the time where I kept shifting back and forth between my Kakyoin and Rohan shift, which would change every (this is really a guess) 3-21 days and my feelings and sense of improvement, progression, and change were super clear to me, so it couldn’t go unnoticed. What made it even clearer to me was that the back and forth interest in body modification didn’t feel like indecisiveness, it just felt more like a flipped switch that always went back and forth to the same thoughts and feelings. I remember the thought of dying my hair being a similar feeling to body modification even though my hair color is different from canon- attempting to remedy it outside of video games with customizable characters just makes me feel like I shouldn’t.

~ SUUUPER fucking lonely. I may have more motivation to talk to people, but oh my god, I’m still painfully reluctant and shy in genuine interactions.

Rohan :

~ Usually I feel a lot more upfront with everything, and unlike in my Kakyoin shifts, I’m a bit more distant from people and tend to repeat myself if I’m not in the mood to let my words come out naturally. In other words, I’m considerably more self-focused and care more to finish my school work, usually only reading on the side instead of my Kakyoin shifts where I’m actually taking the time to do anything and everything I can to take care of myself.

~ I don’t experience much dysphoria in these shifts, if any, and lean towards form-fitting or revealing clothing. Though by revealing, I mean more that if I’m alone and at home (which I usually am) I usually just end up strolling around in an unbuttoned cardigan and my underwear so it’s not like I do it in public.

~ Even though I present myself differently with people and don’t actively pursue them much in this state, I feel a notable fondness for them. It’s not like I ever stop loving my pets or family when I’m in any of my shifts, but I’ve noticed that I think about them in a kinder light when I’m in my Rohan shifts. To put it very lightly, the family I was born into that I remember from my canon though wasn’t one that I was as close as I would’ve hoped.

~ It’s a subtle change from the Kakyoin shifts, but I tend to be happier and a bit more hopeful rather that feeling like something is missing. My memories are all and all very much happier and it makes me feel a lot more at ease in many things that I do even if I’m not actively remembering them at times.

~ I’ve admittedly been very distracted from my own kins as of late and unfortunately even let myself forget my own memories- though once I read them again (as I wrote them down) I was reminded. Aside from the attachment and interest to body modification like nipple piercings or getting tattoos, I can’t remember many more differences.

Doppio :

~ These shifts are always way shorter than the others, but I notice them very easily. They stick out like a sore thumb in my eyes. My emotions aren’t passive (in the background) in the slightest during these shifts and mostly consist of like,,, pure fucking peace. Like it’s just a strong feeling you can’t ignore.

~ I procrastinate much more and act with self-indulgence, food becomes the biggest comfort, and I lose my absolute MIND over the outdoors. Scenery of any kind (even if it’s really not that good) catches my eye in an instant and I fuckin’ lose it just trying to take pictures.

~ I’ll interact and talk with those close to me, but I don’t care to do so that much with others.

~ While I like being babied (caressed, treated with endearment, etc.) I literally cannot stand not being treated like another person. Consuming kin content for this shift in particular can make me very angry very quickly unless I get it custom made- like holy shit, call me sweet all you want to, but if I see another damn aesthetic regarding frogs or phones, I will lose my shit. It feels like saying one thing at a family meeting when you’re five and then everyone holds it over your damned head into your adulthood. It’s just a bad joke.

~ I’m pretty sure this is the one kin that I had whose canon was more fem-leaning in terms of attraction because every time I’m in the doppio shift, I just— women 💞💞💞

Johnny :

~ Honestly I don’t know how I know I’m in this shift when I am, I just am. I may have not had this shift enough to know for sure, but I just do.

Aside from all that, easier hints would be

Kakyoin: Attached to Jotaro (and Dio at times) and reacts to doubles in a very jealous way- I don’t interact, obviously, but regardless.

Rohan: Attached to Josuke for the most part, but enjoys most from part 4 and reacts to doubles with a strong feeling of disgust or annoyance, obviously still not interacting.

Doppio: Attached to no one in particular despite kin memories (regardless of my care for Donatella or Trish), but reacts to doubles more out of anger. Just as I said, I just get really angry to the point of shaking and simply try to remove myself from the situation.

Johnny: Who knows tbh lmao. I haven’t done any meditations on this one.

Like I said before, these are just involuntary feelings I get from doubles, I don’t, like, bark at or harass them or anything, they’re all just as valid as I am, but these are just differences I’ve noticed between shifts.
