“ well, aren’t you full of questions today? ” though nelliel wasn’t all that against sharing the stories of the scar running down her forhead, the person in question was neither someone she knew nor cared to discuss her grievances and thoughts with. perhaps in another time, when they’re better acquainted, will she revisit his question again and answer them in earnest. until then... “ by an attack, like most are .”

Hello, I was wondering if I could follow up on a question I asked a while back? I once asked you where the ideal location for a capitol city of the Riverlands would be (since it currently has no city), and you answered Harrenhal. What factors make this location the best?

A couple of things.

Harrenhal's central location means it can project strength wherever needed whereas Riverrun is situated too far west to do so as effectively for example

The land surrounding Harrenhal is broad and fertile, which means it can provide enough produce to actually feed a capital

Being right next to a huge lake means one never has to worry about things like water supply

Because of #3 laying siege to Harrenhal would be ill-advised to say the least

Thanks for the question, @superryunosukeyuki

Hello, I recently saw your post describing an alternate career path Juuzou would take. However, have you had any thoughts on what alternate careers the Anteiku members (Kaneki, Touka, Koma, Irimi, Yomo, Nishiki) would pursue if they didn't have to worry about hiding that they were ghouls?

Hello! To be brutally honest, I've been into TG/:RE since I was like 14 and I'm 21 now, so at this point I’ve just been really excited about a tiny handful of my favorite characters while everyone else has been pretty much forgotten to me for years and years, but I love getting asks and I appreciate the request, so I’m gonna try my best! *checks wiki for every single character*

Kaneki: Professor of Japanese literature.

Touka: Café owner or a lawyer. It’s been a minute I know, but wasn’t it a thing that she liked school and studied like hell to get into Kami in the original series? There are some super smart characters in TG but thinking just about the time and studying commitment of law school, I can see a Legally Purplish moment happening for her.

Koma: If not a barista, then a bartender. He’s got stories to tell.

Irimi: Bounty hunter, private investigator, something exciting and ethically questionable that allows her to work alone.

Yomo: Bouncer, if he were to not keep serving coffee, which I can see him doing because one thing I do remember about him is his one monologue about hope and connection and genuinely hoping to do a good job at the coffee thing. I think it would be funny if he was a bouncer though.

Nishiki: Still doing pharmaceutical research, I think.

Thanks for the ask!

Hello, in the anime Karin said she was attracted to men based on the quality of their chakra. Sasuke's chakra used to impress her while Suigetsu's disgusted her. After Sasuke tried to kill and then abandoned her, she briefly met Naruto. She was dazzled by how bright and warm his chakra was. What would you think about a Naruto/Karin pairing.

Hello!! I occasionally get people spontaneously asking me to write this pairing, so in order not to fan the flames of whatever is going there, I want to make it clear that I have no interest in ever writing this ship. It’s just not my thing. I know you are not asking for fic, OP, but for some reason every few months I get a DM asking for NaruKarin fic and I just want to make that clear. 

That being said, I do think Karin’s comment on Naruto’s chakra is better canon basis for a ship than... most ships LMAO. On the other hand, I don’t think Karin would be very attracted to Naruto on the basis of his personality. Like, I think the IC way this would go is

Karin: Ooh~ nice chakra~ Naruto: (opens his mouth) Karin: Never mind, I hate it. 

This of course doesn’t mean the ship can’t work, just that anyone who takes on writing it is going to have to either spend a lot of time developing their relationship, or else lean on tropes to expedite them getting to together (soulmate AU, trapped-together-AU, arranged marriage, etc). These are all very fun ways to write a ship!! And I do approve of tsundere ships. :3

I haven’t really thought too much about what sort of ships suit Naruto (and he’s, you know, the main character so he’s basically a fandom bicycle anyway). His crush on Sakura indicates he doesn’t mind at all if people yell at him for being a dumbass, so Karin being mean initially isn’t necessarily a deterrent. (Although if the relationship progresses, it’s important he’s not constantly asking her out like he was with Sakura, and that Karin grows enough of a soft spot she’s not actively an asshole to him.) Teen!Naruto has the fascinating ability to both intuit people’s feeling completely and then also somehow not pick up on them at all, and Karin strikes me as someone who has a “well, you should just k n o w how I feel” attitude, which could lead to massive arguments, so I do think both of them would have to mature a bit for this ship to be a long-term thing rather than just a fling? You could do this in-text or you could just write something post-canon when they’ve both grown and had their personalities mellow out. 

The obvious connection between the two is both being Uzumaki, so if I were writing this (which, again, I will not be doing), I’d probably have them visit Uzushio’s ruins together. It’d be a fun way to isolate them together and do some cool world-building. I would approach it more like “children of a diaspora mutually longing for a connection to a culture neither of them got to grow up with,” instead of “getting to know a relative” for... obvious reasons. 

Also I would really need to see Sasuke’s reaction. u.u (Additional crack idea: Karin is a woman scorned and decides she is going to Steal Sasuke’s Man.)

[avatarsymbolism]

In "Shadow of Kyoshi," when Kyoshi first sees Yangchen she mistakes her for her mother (Jesa). This strong resemblance between Yangchen and Jesa suggests a connection. Do you think Jesa could be related to Yangchen (perhaps her daughter)?

Honestly, I just assumed it was her reacting to seeing another female Air Nomad and having a minor freakout. 

I don’t think she visited the Eastern and Western temples yet during the books

[shinnoya]

If I may ask one more question, what did you think about Anteiku's layout? In the manga, the shop was shown sandwiched between two similarly sized buildings. Say the walls separating them were removed and they were merged into a single building. With the extra space, how would you model the cafe space?

For sure! I think Anteiku's layout was nice given the space they had to work with. I'd probably go a similar route to what Touka did with her cafe, and extend the counter/tablets and add bookshelves if given more space.

[coolman229]

But Lin told Opal that she became a police chief because she thought it would make Toph happy (but it didn't). She then advised Opal to focus on what made her happy as opposed to her mother and to "not make the same mistakes she (Lin) did." This suggests becoming a cop is not something Lin really wanted.

If you’re using anything involving the stupid garbage retcons about Lin’s family including Opal and Suyin then that’s not valid. Opal is a worthless character and Suyin is actively one of the worst characters in LoK. To say that Lin didn’t want to work in the police when it’s clear from the beginning of the show that it’s the one thing she’s super passionate about is ridiculous. Remember this is the same show that said Lin was so insane and unstable that she destroyed Air Temple Island when Tenzin broke up with her and she gloats about it in Book 2. Using anything after Book 1 to characterize Lin is a fool’s errand cause Bryke couldn’t keep anything consistent.

[abjectaspiringfailure]

Hello, in your response to one of my previous asks you mentioned that rc cells functioned like the Blacklight Virus did in Prototype. If I may ask, how so? Also, on a more random note, what would you think if there were a one-eyed ghoul featured in the series who was like Alex Mercer?

Hello, in your response to one of my previous asks you mentioned that rc cells functioned like the Blacklight Virus did in Prototype. If I may ask, how so?

Sorry this took so long to get to.

So as a preface for this post, I don’t personally believe Ishida was invoking these things in a way where he thought “this is primarily meant to be seen through the lens of the original 2009 [PROTOTYPE]”, but it is an interesting coincidence. Both Tokyo Ghoul and Prototype have a unique design style, and the result is a story that if you rush through will leave you going “well I guess things are complete but uh.... what?” Which is why Tokyo Ghoul had such a vast meta community that formed, and why Prototype has an active theory crafting community given its size and relative obscurity. Both have a web of intrigue that needed to be solved to get a good grasp on the story and arguably many things of importance are said and done offscreen.

I got absorbed in going on about both Prototype and Tokyo Ghoul, so I’m going back to put this here. I enjoyed how both of these series were basically puzzles to be solved, and I think both are misunderstood (though Tokyo Ghoul moreso than Prototype). I ended up writing a lot about the similarities that pertained to the question in the sense that there were ways the virus and RC cells had some similarities, but I ended up trimming it down significantly. So uh.

DX1118 functions by rewriting the host’s DNA to replicate. In most cases, there is death via organ failure. What “failure” and “lethality” means in the case of DX1118 is varied just like it is in Tokyo Ghoul with “success” and “floppies”; although the virus kills people, it brings them back as monsters. I’m tempted to believe this is referring to the attempts to weaponize the virus in the sense of creating super soldiers; a prelude to the DX1120 variant. The one mentioned to be Redlight explicitly has a 99.999 lethality rate.

In the case of DX1118 and its offshoots, “releasing what’s already there” means activating the non-coding areas of the genome. Essentially, the powers bestowed upon those who survive the virus in Prototype are not the result of the virus by itself, but rather the virus using things inside the human genome for mutations. The human genome actually has a rather hefty chunk of it made out of viruses that infected our ancestors and stayed in their system, roughly about 4 - 8%.

 I see Tokyo Ghoul humans as naturally progressing towards becoming ghouls due to RC cells and the way they adapted to the humans and influenced their genetic development. RC cells are not normal for humans, but the humans of the Tokyo Ghoul universe do not understand that because it seems to be the only thing they have ever known. An RC count of 200 - 500 is considered healthy and average. I believe RC cells are much like the viruses that inhabit the human genome; they’re something that’s been there all along in the Tokyo Ghoul universe.

I believe ghouls aren’t the result of just an entirely new species developing entirely separately but coincidentally being mirror replicas of humans down to anatomy, blood types, thought patterns, bone structures, and their ability to swap organs, but rather something that is the result of the RC cells in the system mutating them into new entities over time. RC cells, like the Blacklight virus, are very mutagenic. Unlike the Blacklight virus, I see most of these changes as being more gradual in the line of human -> ghoul.

It would go human - > human with “special investigator genes” (with RC cells that normal human levels but ghoul quality) -> human with “special investigator genes” and latent ROS genes having children with someone in the same position -> ghoul who cannot use a kagune (such as G&G) -> ghoul who can use a kagune -> ghoul with kakuja mutation genes - > ghoul with kakuja genes having children with kakuja genes - > kakuja

It’s more complex than that because of the way Ishida spread the information about with regards to ghoul and human biology. There’s also a lot of stuff that goes into that, with regards to ROS in both humans and ghouls, and stuff that I feel needs to be expanded upon. Eg stuff about the Oggai’s Frame A/Frame B divide, Nutcracker’s RC levels being listed as explicitly two separate types, kagunes and kakujas showing a consistent pattern of having traits of two RC types, Urie’s One Eye (Frame A)/Two Eye (Frame B), the Washuu breeding program, and how this all factors together (in the way I see it).

To get back to Blacklight and the similarities, I said this in the post you’re referring to, but I don’t think the Dragon toxin caused “ROS like symptoms”, I think the Dragon just caused ROS by increasing the RC cell levels of anyone it touched while introducing Washuu “born kakuja” genetics that can apparently form extra kakuhou pretty easily. Because there was so many cases, there was too many people to treat at once, and therefore they turned into ghouls. Usually, because the disease is so rare and much slower, it’s more controllable.

Shirazu’s sister, for example, didn’t have her ROS caused by RC cells from something so severe and there weren’t hundreds of thousands of other people who were infected, so Haru’s ROS was both slower and the resources to control it were more readily available.

When it comes to DX1118 and its variants, and RC Cells, I’m of the opinion that they work in different methods, but the effects are similar. Blacklight’s origin and true purpose is greatly muddled due to the way Prototype is written. Like Tokyo Ghoul, multiple pieces of information are ambiguous or outright lies.

There were many differing stories about what the true purpose of the Blacklight virus was - ranging from some type of super human serum meant to increase human strength and intellect, to a weapon designed to kill off specific ethnic groups, to some evolutionary compound meant to force the planet to change into a new being, to some form of inevitability that would have to be engaged regardless. This makes a lot of the information involved murky; this is actually acknowledged in universe as being completely intentional. The actual origins of DX1118 isn’t stated, as far as we can tell from the information given, it just sort of popped up out of nowhere.

The origin of RC cells is also shrouded in mystery. Ghouls are a worldwide phenomenon, so, logically, RC cells should be universal. Otherwise, ghouls would not be able to feed. It is also stated that a normal, healthy human being has between 200 - 500 RC cells, which implies that not having any RC cells is considered either unhealthy or abnormal. I’d speculate that RC cells themselves would therefore have to be either hundreds of thousands of years old and tied to the evolution of humans in the Tokyo Ghoul universe, or, spread like a contagion. The Washuu themselves became “born Kakujas” due to centuries of cannibalization before they even made it to Japan, and by the the time the Washuu became known as legendary human ghoul hunters, they were already almost indistinguishable from the local population and were identified as Japanese nobility.

So, their origins are rather different, but they have the same air of mystery about them, and they touch on similar topics. The methods they get used is different, but the conspiracy has significant overlap.

The way Blacklight works when it infects a host is via changing the host cell by activating the non-coding regions of the genome. A substantial chunk of the human genome is actually believed to be now dormant viruses that infected our ancestors, who survived them, and lived on to procreate. In Prototype, this translates to the virus mutating the human body to achieve superhuman abilities, in theory? In actuality, the failure rates of the virus are rather substantial. But if you reword it, 99.9% lethality rate translates to a .1% success rate.

TG;re 44

These failure rates are comparable to the original Kanou kakuhou transplantation procedure, if less survivable. (This isn’t including the 99.999% lethality variant or the one that was made to be 10x more lethal and mutagenic than that). The failure rates for the Kanou procedure are substantial, but even the failures are reminiscent of the Blacklight “Runners” that are seen moving around the city - though that feels like it’s the result of the “zombies” theme.

TG;re 1

While I don’t recall if it’s ever stated how the DX1120 virus differs from the DX1118 variants, the D-Codes work using similar logic to the Qs and Oggai. Both use the “power of their enemy” to fight back against them, rather than using technology such as firearms. The description of the D-Codes is essentially the same as the Qs. They use the virus to increase their metabolism, strength, durability, and even regenerative functions.

The effort put into this biology system seemed immense, and the way the information is sprinkled in seems very organic.

There was other stuff about similarities between Arima and Cross, Blackwatch and V, Elizabeth Green and Roma/Eto/Rize, but I feel like that’s a bit off topic from the question, and I think this would have been answered immediately had I not tried to explore all of those avenues. I tried to keep this more on topic to the question, but I feel the flow regardless suffered. This is kinda the issue I have with ghoul biology stuff that threw a wrench into the post. It makes sense when you look at the big picture, but taking it all separately and dispersing it to a single point makes it seem nonsensical.

I kind of hope that explains it better. I’m going to try to revisit the ghoul biology post and just sorta accept that it’s not going to flow as easily as a character analysis post because it’s more technical in nature and the information is scattered between hundreds of chapters.

edit:

oh wait, forgot something.

Also, on a more random note, what would you think if there were a one-eyed ghoul featured in the series who was like Alex Mercer?

I think about this concept a lot. The idea of an Alex Mercer like character unwrapping things in Tokyo Ghoul sounds like an interesting concept. When you mean like Alex Mercer, you mean an AOEG that is trying to unravel the mysteries involved, and any time they eat someone’s RC cells, they get the knowledge inside of them type of deal? Alex Mercer as he is in the original Prototype would likely work with Aogiri Tree. Alex Mercer as he is in Prototype 2 would probably become a member of the Clowns as an actual member, or one of the philosophical Clowns that end up screwing over Kaneki and helping out the Clowns, like Yamori or Chie Hori. 

Prototype Alex Mercer would probably start off opposed to both the CCG and Aogiri Tree, assuming you’re starting him off in Tokyo without his memories. He seems like he’d end up getting played, set up, and gaslighted by the Clowns like Kaneki, Eto, and Mutsuki were.  I imagine Mercer would quickly turn sides though once they realizes V exists and they’d probably set their sights on killing off the Clowns. tbh Mercer would probably succeed. Alex Mercer’s mindset means initially they’re going to be dancing in the palm of their hands, but the  powerset means it’s only a matter of time before everything gets revealed. Dealing almost solely in deception, gaslighting, and emotional manipulation is kind of an awful idea against a guy who can piece things together and blow your entire conspiracy to pieces. This would be like a “Karen Parker” situation, only the Clowns aren’t really used to hiding so much as sitting out in the open and none of them would be strong enough to beat someone with Alex Mercer’s powerset even in ghoul form tbh.

He’d probably join Aogiri Tree and Goat in the long run, even if briefly. The story would go off the rails long before Goat would form, though.

Alex Mercer at the end of Prototype is a different beast entirely but also kinda hard to figure out; the original writer wasn’t involved with a lot of the stuff after, and the Prototype 2 Alex Mercer feels like the original got consumed by like the Supreme Hunter and it just decided to wear his skin. Prototype 2 was originally Spiderman 4 before it was reskinned to be Protoype 2 so like everything was already set up and in place and it’s obvious that Father G was Uncle Ben, Mercer was Dr. Octavius, Heller was Peter, “viral sonar” is spidersense, etc. The writer that took over apparently hated Alex Mercer, from what I was told by people who talked to the guy. Isn’t really a good thing to go into writing with. Salt towards Alex Mercer being demonized is kinda universal. Heller had some good moments, but I felt his character was wasted. Wish the game just stayed as Spiderman 4, and Prototype 2 was on the Xbox One/PS4 rather than what Activision forced Radical to do.

I guess you could say that Prototype 2 is to the original Prototype what the anime is to Tokyo Ghoul.

But, we can infer things. It’s likely Mercer would be distrustful of everyone due to the experience with the Supreme Hunter, but very unsure of themselves. Automatic opposition to the scary conspiracy group is guaranteed. There’s an automatic opposition to killing indiscriminately from a character perspective even if the game doesn’t punish you for it; by the end, Alex is even fed up with killing soldiers who aren’t commanders. I’m not sure if he’d join up with Aogiri. Aogiri avoided civilian population centers and kept their targets military in nature, yes. On the other hand, they also just told ghouls like Torso “yo, knock it off, the CCG will getcha” and they let the Clowns or ghouls like Big Madam roam free and even worked with them, even if in the later case it was related to trying to see if Takizawa would awaken Haise’s memories.

Goat is a possibility. Kaneki’s strategy of disarming the CCG would probably be something Alex Mercer would go for. I imagine he’d also just go right for Furuta’s throat. The only reason this wasn’t done in the original Prototype was because Blackwatch’s commander was on the Reagan and was shooting anyone who got close out of the sky. Canonically the WOI does confirm an attempt to just fly therw with a helicopter only to get intercepted, and Alex also mentions that when they have their conversation with the Supreme Hunter.

Most likely though, Alex Mercer would end up working with Hide’s group and helping Kurona if he finds out about Kurona’s story. Especially Kurona. She’s simultaneously after a mad scientist who turned her into a monster, and she’s also Dana’s age. I see him helping her in her quest to get back at Kanou. With Hide, Alex sorta uses any help he can get, and Hide seems like he’d find Mercer because he’s just that good.

I think they would work with Eto if Eto opened up to them but.. Eto doesn’t really open up to people unless they violently maim her, like Kaneki or Arima. She might end up becoming interested in Alex if Alex starts trying to kill her, like Kaneki, but man. That’s not healthy.

Prototype 2 Alex Mercer, like I said, would likely be on board with the Clowns, but probably only from a philosophical sense. He agrees with their surface level stuff - the world is awful, people need to be killed, nothing matters, releasing giant monsters that kill millions is hilarious, innocent people deserve to be tortured, children are fair game, cause terror for lols, work with the conspiracy that controls the world while also killing its members because that’s fun and convenient, etc. Whether or not he ends up joining them outright or being like Yamori or Horie is up in the air, but I imagine he’d not be allowed. Furuta’s very good at analysis so I assume he’d see Alex as a threat from the get go and would keep him at a distance at all times.

Most likely it would end up in some weird battle with Mercer and Furuta being the main combatants just screwing with each other using secret agents, and Kaneki’s just. Kaneki. And gets stuck in the middle of it, just barely surviving. P2′s Mercer’s “here’s free viral powers kids” probably translates to kakuho implantation that’s even more casual than Eto’s, and his ability to just fire off viral clouds everywhere would most likely translate to him having the ability to just blast Dragon toxin. Alex in P2 gyrates pretty violently between “invincible and impossibly incompetent” to “literally so incompetent he gives the person trying to kill him the power to kill him and slowly feeds him powerups while letting them ruin his plans before stepping in and immediately giving up once a single attempt to murder them doesn’t work and then decides to go back to feeding them powerups until they can kill him” so.

I’m not sure if he’d like, do what Furuta did to Kaneki and give him the power to kill him, only entirely on purpose instead of accidentally, or if he’d just. Instantly vaporize all of his opponents.

He probably gives Eto, Kaneki, and Mutsuki power ups and then goes around trying to piss them off while claiming he’d trying to destroy V and Furuta. And he would actually, really, be trying to stop V and Furuta, but also he wouldn’t be, and he’s be working with them, but he wouldn’t.

He’d go to America, kill Heller’s family, and then turn Heller into a OEG that kills him.

You didn’t mention Heller, but there’s no way he’d be okay with V or the Clowns or probably even Anteiku (because Anteiku okayed set up civilian hunting grounds). He’d also oppose Aogiri Tree for the same reasons I think post Prototype 1 Alex would, but he might work with them like he did Rooks if he saw them as useful. The moment Furuta marches out the Oggai, if it came to that, he’d probably just go right for Furuta. The only reason Heller doesn’t do this with Mercer is because Mercer is hiding, but otherwise he’s pretty keen on just going to his current target and punching them in the face out in broad daylight surrounded by witnesses. And turning a bunch of children into the Oggai and having them go around slaughtering people would definitely set Heller off.

The story would also go off the rails.

I mean if you mean a One Eyed Ghoul with amnesia running around NYC slowly unraveling the secret surrounding V’s American Branch in the form of Blackwatch and imaging a scenario? I think that would be pretty cool, personally.

TG 141

There’s a lot of potential for a Tokyo Ghoul game in the style of Prototype. A lot of the powers that work in Prototype feel like they’d feel right at home in Tokyo Ghoul and vice verse. Eg the wallrunning could be explain with kagune wallrunning that Eto and Kaneki show. You could have a spiritual successor to Cross and some overarching super ghoul investigator counterpart to Arima, but his thing would be entirely different?

TG 112, 138

Less Arima’s “this literally doesn’t make sense, how did Arima hit that attack, he’s literally not holding anything and how did he just shoot lightning out of his quinque that can’t shoot lightning when he’s got that quinque in a box I originally thought this was an art mistake but he literally just keeps doing impossible things and they’re even lampshading in the manga so wait did he pull out Narukami and put it back into the box just to troll???”

(I think ishida does stuff like this where he messes with things like this for artistic reasons in this case it entirely works and helps hit home how invincible Arima is, and I originally thought it was art mistakes but it’s not)

And more “Shinohara, but on steroids”. Cross in Prototype was a very maneuverable surprisingly well armed opponent who could take a beating relative to most other enemies you faced outside of, for example, the Supreme Hunter. Similar type of opponent but also different. Like have the guy use multiple +SS and SSS rate quinques as standard, and he’s also got an SSS rate kakuja quinque and he can take a beating because of it, too. Not that he’s unskilled; he’s very skilled, just less so than Arima. Maybe have him also be the final boss like Arima was the final boss in the original Tokyo Ghoul, but just make him an absolute monster that completely and utterly destroys people. Maybe even have it be a no win scenario to fight the guy? Have it come up that “oh well this guy right here is attacking your friends but if you fight him, you’re going to die no matter what, don’t risk it” and you have a choice and if you choose to fight him, the game switches genres to horror and you just die. Not an easy fight to die in either.

They should definitely make a game about that. Just, spiritual successor to the original Prototype and have Detwiller and Ishida just run wild with the insane conspiracy theory story and their under the radar references to their knowledge of the military, economics, Kafka, numbers, trolling, and Lovecraft.

Just make the story impossible to understand, you know? You have to find 248 different cutscenes to get part of the story explicitly, and to unlock some of the cutscenes you have to hack into the game code to pull out poems made out of ASCII images of Ishida’s art. But to get the art, you have to pull a bunch of stuff off of twitter, relatively obscure secondary material, and some of it has to be found long after the launch of the game. Like, just maybe throw a random string of numbers into an art book released a year after the game was launched and have the numbers related to the code just hidden and you just... can’t find them? But only maybe, you’re not sure.

Throw Walt Williams from Spec Ops: The Line in there too. Have him contribute. All decisions are simultaneously wrong and correct at the same time. Nothing makes sense - but it totally does. You know what you’re doing is wrong. Or do you? None of these horrors would have happened if you’d just stopped, but you can’t stop. Not now, not when you’re so close. This person you’re pursuing, they’re definitely the bad guy. You’re in the clear. You’re not being tricked, you’re not mistaken, you made these decisions rationally. Your friends are in danger, you’re not bringing danger to them.

You feel so powerful and then boom, it happens. snap back to reality. And you should have seen it coming, but you didn’t. It’s not that it wasn’t there, it’s just that you weren’t looking - you decided “I’m not going to look”. You ignored what was right in front of you for some silly fantasy and it all hurts so much and oh god, everything is burning, help help help. Why didn’t anyone listen, I feel so alone.

and then have another spinoff spiritual successor flip from tokyo to new york in a surprise twist and it turns out that you were just starring in the villains’ self insert selfcest genderbender trollfic the e n t i r e t i m e or something it’s ambiguous I guess you gotta figure it out and no one will believe you and everything is just trolling

Hello, if I may ask, what about Taang specifically appeals to you?

I like Taang for a bunch of reasons! 1. They feel like equals. Toph and Aang have this wonderful thing where they’re both sort of on the same level. With Aang, Toph is free to speak her mind, doesn’t coddle or baby him, while Aang sees Toph as both a powerful bender he can learn from, and another kid who loves to have fun.

2. Their dynamic. Toph contrasts with Aang in some great ways, often with her being direct against his being carefree, but just as often, Toph’s mischievous streak and Aang’s go hand-in-hand. He’s never hurt or threatened by how she normally talks to him, and is more than happy to play along.

 3. How they affect each other. Toph teaches Aang to be more firm in his resolve, to stand up for himself, while Aang reaffirms in Toph that there’s nothing about her that she needs to be ashamed of, which is something that I think might be my favorite part of why I like Taang. Some of Toph’s best moments are when she lets her guard down, and lets herself be vulnerable, and I think Taang is a great relationship where Toph would feel safe enough to do that.

"Let me hold you for a while."

Orihime felt warm suddenly. The kind of warmth that filled her everywhere, and especially her cheeks. Cerulean optics grew wide and she held her breath for but a moment as she learned that she would have to accept this feeling simply for what it was. Affection. That breath she had subconsciously sucked in so suddenly was released quietly, with relief, as she slumped into the figure who gave her this warm gesture, and she herself had risen her own hands, to return such an embrace. The hug was welcomed, and appreciated, and she took in the others scent all the while, reminiscing in how comforting such a sensation was. So wonderful, so peaceful, but sadly, just not long enough. “Thank you,” she whispered.

what part of this haunted house are you?

the mirror

What do you see today? Better yet, what don’t you see today? Probably the same as yesterday, right? Everything at once and nothing at all. You know the face looking back at you enough to know that it is not your own, whatever that means. You’ve learned by now that your face is irrelevant, one that takes a backseat to the ones that come to you every day, asking you to show them lies. You don’t, of course, you are an amalgamation of all the faces looking back at you, a reflection of themselves. There is nothing but truth in that. Don’t take it too personally, then, when they scream in your face and take off running. You show them what they show you: who they are. It’s something you can relate to, isn’t it? Not being able to confront yourself face-to-face.

Nelliel supposes it’s not a bad thing to be saved... even if she had everything under control. Still, the soul reaper's action was reckless, and both could have been scathed if he was a second too late. Call it luck, but she wasn’t here for it. “Do not interfere where your help is not needed, soul reaper.”   /.  @superryunosukeyuki

Hello, I saw that you changed your blog title. Does this mean you are no longer taking any ASOIAF asks?

I still accept ASOIAF asks. The name change was mostly to indicate my shift in priorities from fanfic to self-publishing and to avoid any potential legal or ethical issues.

Thanks for the question, @superryunosukeyuki

Hello, could I ask about your manga ranking post? In your "I like it but it can be better" category you listed Bleach. What about the series do you feel could have been done better? Also, in your "Ma guys" category you list Soul Eater. If Crona from Soul Eater were a character in My Hero Academia, what do you think his quirk would be like?

Hi!!,about Bleach, here is the list of things I do not like or I think could be better

In my opinion, Bleach shouldn't have been a shonen, but a seinen. The main plot/idea have a lot of potential to be darker and kinda gore and with Kubo art it could be amazing

Ichigo himself is a problem to me. I feel he is super empty . We didnt know what he wants and likes, only that he is a good friend and a nice guy (?) but beside that nothing. I want him have more weight in the plot. He moving the plot and not the other way around.

Im not a fan of Kubo introducing a lot of characters per arc, because more than the half dont do anything important. They are just there. I prefer Kubo gives time to each one at least to get to know them well , introducing them slowly , with calm, because otherwise they are wasting potential.

This comes from the last point , the secondary characters get forgotten in order to focus in the new characters (and as I said, I do not think that was done properly). Kubo treats especially Orihime and Chad horrible. Its just sad.

About the world, I think we should had explored everywhere more, get deeper in them. Soul Society and Hueco Mundo are the ones I would like to see more about.

Do not make Yhwach so OP

I HATE Ichigo’s power-ups at convenient moments. I would like had a natural increase. The power levels getting a clear order of increment. 

This is something out of Kubo’s control, but give more time to important moments at the end of the story; specially Urahara’s Bankai.

in my ideal world, Ichigo is not (conveniently) three races in one.

End Bleach with Aizen as a final boss.Basically, not extend the story unnecessarily (maybe this wasnt Kubo’s fault neither, maybe it was Shonen Jump pushing him to continue, I do not really know).

MAKE RUKIA AND ICHIGO A COUPLE , sorry , that was my inner traumas coming out.

And call me crazy but I would like Crona having as a quirk : first option, a demon that he can control; second option control his blood and use it as a weapon.

Thanks for te ask!

Tite Kubo has (both for Bleach and his first series Zombie Powder) assigned theme songs to his main and major characters. However, are there any lesser characters in Bleach that you can think of theme songs for?

Oh man I normally get song recs not give em out so if anyone has good idea throw em in the replies
