#thank you for asking!! i love ranting about this stupid comic

[jaguarys]

Do you have thoughts about the end of les légendaires? I was very disappointed with Shun-Day's arc

OK so in my reread I'm currently on volume 17, but I just finished up Shun-Day's arc so I figured I'd answer this now because YES many thoughts!

In general... I feel like Shun-Day's writing fails her a LOT. She's got so much going for her, and yet... uegh.

I'm not a big fan of Shun-Day and Gryf's relationship at all. Not in the least just because of the discrepancy in age (I'll ignore that for this post because I can't really get into that here without an entire The Poor Women in Les Légendaires section lmao), but I also just don't think it's very compelling. It really only stands to create a love triangle, make Gryf look like a dick, and use Shun-Day as a narrative prop.

I'm somewhat lukewarm on Gryf and Shimy's relationship as well, but in any case it's stupid how quickly she forgives him for all that bullshit. I think in a lot of ways the writing of their relationship just ends up severely weakening her character, which is disappointing. It's not impossible to have a character whose weak to their love interest and still have it be done well, but it doesn't hit that way for me.

Gryf's character also suffers due to all of it to me. I understand the 'pushing people away because of imminent death' trope, and I even like it sometimes, but using another character for it stops it from being false sanctimony and just makes it a douchey move.

However, that doesn't inherently make it a negative! You could still include that dynamic and write it well, with the characters growing because of it and becoming better, but I don't think that's really how it's done. Instead it just ends up being "Oh no, Shun-Day died! Oh well! It's ok because Gryf and Shimy ended up together!" with no real regard to the fact that That Really Fucking Sucks past comedic relief in "lol Gryf and Shimy are bickering again!"

Sidenote but I also think making Shun-Day Amy's daughter is just... a weird choice? It doesn't end up doing anything for the story or for their characters (or even like. Skroa's), and seems to just exist to provide a last minute plot twist.

Honestly as I'm writing this I'm starting to realize that I think maybe the Amour Mortel–– L'Éternité ne Dure Qu'un Temps arc might be my least favorite... I think its writing is reaaally weak in a lot of ways (girl hello Éternity doesn't end up doing shit?).

It's all worth it for Sheibah though.

Hey there!! I saw your introduction and I was wondering if maybe you could write a angsty miles Morales x reader, preferably gender neutral. Sorry lol that's not much to go on but yeah!!

Thanks, I'm looking forward to seeing your writing (if you choose to write this ask of course)

hello anon,

thank you so much for your ask !! i love these movies (and writing angst), so i'm happy to be able to have an excuse to write for them. this might be a bit short but i hope you enjoy it.

remember, you are loved, ๏siris ☾ ⋆･ﾟ:⋆･ﾟ

— how to disappear completely

☾ pairing: 1610!miles morales/gn!reader ☾ summary: "don't you trust me?" "i don't know." or miles telling you he's spiderman didn't go exactly as he planned. ☾ warnings: 2nd person (you), angst, hurt no comfort, very minor homophobia metaphor if you squint, swearing, crying and anxiety attacks, implied sh (nothing graphic), miles being sad :( ☾ w๏rd c๏unt: 439

---

Miles hadn't planned to tell you for a while. If we're being honest, Miles hadn't planned to tell you for a long while.

But he knew he needed to be more careful, and lounging around in his suit was, in fact, a stupid idea. It slipped his mind that you two were supposed to be hanging out today.

You laughed it off when you walked in. "Didn't know you were a cosplayer, Miles," you chuckled. It was only when you saw his terrified face that you knew. And boy, did you know instantly. Even Miles knew he couldn't get out if this one with a quick-witted lie. He just stared at you, waiting for your response.

He knew it wasn't going to be great, but he wasn't expecting what you did.

"Are you fucking kidding me!? This whole time I thought you were busy studying, you were out swinging around? When I thought you were being picked on, you were actually willingly fighting these dumb, comic-book supervillains!?" You ranted, you knew it was hurting him but you were hurt too, he was lying to you for so long, you just didn't know what else to do with yourself.

"I believed you! I was worried about you! ...If you would've told me sooner I would've been fine, but it's been damn near a year, Miles." By the time you finished your rant, Miles was crying, and you were too. He didn't want to say anything, he just wanted to curl up into a little ball and hide.

"I did it to protect you," Miles choked out. "I need you to trust me, don't you trust me?" He looked you in the eye for the first time in about ten minutes.

"...I don't know." With that, you were gone. You just needed to think, to clear your head.

Miles didn't know what to do with himself. As much as you were harsh, you were right. He did lie to you; and a lot, in retrospect. He just wanted to protect you, even if he knew you could protect yourself.

He tried to steady his breathing, but his hearing was starting to become fuzzy. He needed a glass of water, but he felt like he couldn't move. He sat there for a long time, silent, trying to ground himself.

Even when he finally felt somewhat like himself again, he moved around on autopilot. Drink water. Set an alarm. Do something you won't be proud of in the morning. Sleep. And sleep. And sleep.

And when you finally do wake up, look in the mirror and make sure you still want to disappear.

very short and i didn't proofread this, i hope it doesn't have too many spelling/grammar mistakes >.<

Thank you. And if you don't mind, can you roast review this discourse about redemption arcs?

https://www.tumblr.com/dushman-e-jaan/694120765277306880/why-do-you-dislike-zuko-and-kurapika-when-the?source=share

Oh god, if it's anything like the previous one, I don't think I'm mentally prepared for it.

Okay, I skimmed through it and I don't have much more to say than about the previous post, except that in addition to being an immature redditor who can't be concise and is desperately trying to sound smart and grown up, they are also clearly trying way too hard to be edgy.

I've rarely seen someone managed to be that comically stupid while still being beyond uninteresting to the point that just trying to read their post make my eyes roll back so hard, I see my brain. It has a lot of volume but it's so empty and artificially pumped there's nothing to take apart.

The only response to that entire thing is 'Yes, it's a kids show, no, it doesn't become bad just because you grew up and no, acknowledging old stuff is good is not nostalgia, you are not more grown up for deluding yourself like that', there is literally nothing more to say or address.

The fact that they whine about 'not addressing the harsh realities of Imperialism' (yes, it does, you're just mad they do it with nuance instead of indulging your edgy murderboner, they even acknowledge the fact that it would create a 'mixed race' class between the colonized and the 'colonizer' and thus mean you literally can't do anything about it without denying an entire innocent demographic their right to exist, which is infinitely harsher than any surface level edgy nonsense you can fathom) while also whining that every 'revolutionary' (IE terrorists, because the Gaang, Hakoda's crew and the White Lotus are all revolutionaries, just not terrorists) is treated as insane is quite funny, they literally can't handle the harsh truth that slaughtering powerless civilians make you an insane murderer, no matter what 'greater good' you're ranting about.

Just say you simp for Hama and her Jason Voorhees LARP and Jet's delusional plan to drown an innocent town Ozai couldn't give less of a shit about and would have probably burned down anyway and go instead of whining like that.

Also the bit about Vegeta being a 'softy' for his 'waifu' show he clearly has no clue about any of the shows he's talking about. Vegeta had no qualms about killing Bulma or letting her die UNTIL he had his redemption, even in the Buu saga he came close to killing her without giving a shit once he went Majin. Dude unironically did not watch the show.

Gotta love the 'It's the death of creativity!' from someone who's clearly a pretend artist who didn't even have enough balls to try and become a frustrated failed artist. You couldn't make a character anyone give a shit about to save your life, dude, sit down.

Thanks for the ask ^^

[hyperfixated-on-musicals]

for one thing I want to know about you : Favourite Falsettos character and why + favourite song or lyrics :))

Get ready for a long rant :3

My favourite characters are Marvin, Whizzer and Jason.

I love Marvin because he is such a complex character. I love the way he comes off as a dick but then he is so caring towards Whizzer. Also Christian Borle has an amazing voice. The chemistry between Marvin and Whizzer is just so amazing as well.

Whizzer is probably my favourite character because he is more of the comic relief character. He is a happy character most of the time and then you see him falling apart in the hospital and you feel so sorry for him. Whizzer had bottled up all of his emotions and seeing him in such a vulnerable state was such a drastic yet beautiful switch in the mood of the musical.

Jason's character development is probably my favourite growth within the musical. Jason starts out as a young, naive kid who is portrayed as independent and witty but by the end because of Whizzer's death, Jason is forced to face the music and understand that things can't always go his way. I was kind of similar to Jason in my life and losing that naivety struck me hard.

My favourite lyrics are:

My father's a homo, my mother's not thrilled at all

Could you please make my friend stop dying? I am not naive, it won't be easy.

This is the year of Jason's bar mitzvah

He lifts me in his arms and tells me to embrace his attack. Then the scene turns to black.

Can I keep my cool despite the urge to fall apart? How should I start? I would cry if I could but it does no damn good to explain I'm a man in my prime. You gotta die sometime.

Tell me Trina what was the impetus. Sorry Trina, look in my eyes. Really Trina, this is ridiculous. Jesus, Trina, how I despise your need for stupid conversation!

Thank you so much for the ask! It is very much appreciated.

[goldenkamuyhunting]

It interesting to read your analysis or meta ( even though I read it 2 am while being stress ). I want to ask since I do remember you didnt really like how the story ended Ogata, so how do you think that it might be better ? The way it end he think that he always blessed feel weird for me but I do kinda like that what he do all those time it's just that he's thinking what broken person would do. Though this might contract about my first point about he always blessed, in the end what you become is always the choice is yours not always because the aspect from other people (I do found interesting fan comic what if Yuusaku and Ogata swap place). Sorry if it's going random or you actually the answer already in one of your post. Thank you once again 💖

Sorry for the late reply, I'm glad you enjoy my meta!

As usual WARNING as this is not a Noda praising fest.

Yes, I've ranted in the past about how I didn't like how Noda handled Ogata in his last 11 volumes but I don't mind repeating it.

The whole 'Ogata was ALWAYS blessed because maybe for a moment Hanazawa loved his mother' felt like very poorly constructed.

The ability to feel guilt isn't tied to your parents loving each other or not, but to plenty of other factors... and anyway it's pretty difficult to prove Hanazawa ever loved his mother and it wasn't just in Tome's head and he merely wanted her for sex.

We heard how Hanazawa spoke of her, without a shred of love.

I don't know if this is due to something in Japanese culture but to me, tying Ogata's ability to feel guilt to Hanazawa loving his mother feels like tying two completely unrelated things together, a leap in logic I can't follow.

I'm not sure how, at this point, the story could have handled Ogata. He was left useless for 10 volumes and then the last gave contraddicting info on his past and, basically, ends with a repeated the situation on Vol 19 only to have Ogata kill himself. At this point it was better to murder him on Vol 19 because... beyond the fact he was a popular character, the story had no need for him to survive (same as Vasily, really).

It's something I stated back then in Vol 19, I was interested in Ogata, I liked him as a character, because he was interesting. The moment Noda made him uninteresting because he gives 0 contribute in carrying on the plot, I see no point in having him in the story.

Not even his death affects the plot because in the end he murders himself on his own so the guilt for his death doesn't truly befall on Asirpa and whatever wound he gave to Sugimoto is of no consequence to the battle nor is his stalling them.

The most he did was to cause the drivers of the train to die (in the magazine version)/to escape (in the volume version).

Both moves feel stupid as he ends up on a train no one is driving when he could have just said he was one of Tsurumi's men and went aboard just the same (he's wearing an army uniform).

But Noda needed the drivers to get off so he used him to do so, though everything else would have been fine. They could have been distracted by the explosion and this would have allowed the bear to end up on the train and the bear could have caused them to escape.

It would have made more sense.

So my options to make the whole thing better are two: either write him off in Vol 19/20 or rewrite the last 11 volumes to give him a role in them. As the second option is way too complex and would end up creating a different GK I think the first one is the best one.

Let Ogata die in Vol 19/20, the story doesn't need him anymore and his faceoff with Asirpa back then had more impact than the last one.

His death could be used to push forward the discussion if it's all right to kill or not instead than... just happening.

And if Asirpa really need to show she's willing to kill someone to save Sugimoto she can shoot/try to shoot a arrow at Tsurumi instead than just aim at him and not shoot.

On a final note... GK wasn't a story about the importance of your choices but since this is still very discussed in the fandom, I want to toss in that the idea that we become what we chose is an over simplification.

What we become is the result of a combination of genetic, education, opportunities and personal choices.

We can make our choices solely among the opportunities we're offered, which might be plenty or just few or none at all, and we decide according to our physical/mental abilities and knowledge and understanding of the world.

Ogata had clearly a flawed understanding of the world due to the way he'd been raised, and a very limited number of choices due to his social and economical background.

His chances of becoming a second lieutenant like Yuusaku are so low they can as well not exist, his chances to get Hanazawa to love him are even less.

Ogata couldn't choose to become (someone like) Yuusaku, even if he wanted to. That choice was never on the table.

And, since his understanding of the world was flawed and he never managed to correct it, he took some objectively VERY BAD decisions to try to become someone he would never be allowed to become and, without even realizing, made his situation even worse instead than improving it.

GK though, wasn't the sort of story that was interested in this kind of aspect so, if you like stories that instead dig more into personal choices and their consequences, I recommend reading "Umineko no naku koro ni" (the manga as the anime is SO HORRIBLE they never finished it and the last chapter of the visual novel was poorly handled and Ryukishi basically rewrote it for the manga version).

Just keep in mind it's a mystery horror with some gruesome scenes... though since there are gruesome scenes in GK too, those might be not a problem.

Thank you for your ask and sorry again for the late reply!

[hikaruchen]

just saw the extra questions and like!!! 33 and 36? 🤲

HELLOOO AGAIN!!!! HUGE THANKS for keeping throwing asks this means so much to me🥹<333 SENDING LOVE!

33. What levels of artistic education have you had?

Basic level as any ordinary people has had! Last time I took an art class regularly was already in kindergarten and it was just for fun, so I don’t think that really counts? That being said, I guess I can say confidently that I’m a complete self-taught! :D I did try to force myself to practice some basic traditional training like still-life painting, portrait study and sketching occasionally though, and (just sharing this because it still somehow makes me feel proud >:D) last year I self-trained myself intensively for a month and took part in a national art aptitude test, and—I still have no ideas how TF that happened but—I accidentally got a? PR90 in sketching? As a self-taught competing with so many traditionally trained students that result made me so DAMN happy. So yeah, just want to say perhaps it doesn’t really matter whether you’ve gone through formal education, as long as keeping practicing anyone can improve I guess :) Some of the pics below were done at that time!

36. Do you have a shameful art past? (recolour sprite comics, tracing art, etc.)

Oh definitely. As I said in other posts I started drawing and surfing the Internet when I was really little so…every stupid thing one can imagine I’ve done that before lol. So PLEASE allow me to not elaborate because that’s just too embarrassing to do (One example I can give is that I used to google other people’s line arts, download it and recolour it myself and give it to my friends saying it was a commission. The only good thing about that is I didn’t charge anything for those pieces, BUT as you can see that’s a super dumb thing to do…God help me give me a gun and I will use it to shoot my younger self)

ARTIST ASKS

Ok I’m sorry this post became so long I really rant too much jwkzjnqmak thank you to anyone who really spends time on reading this Ted talk lol

[mamaspidershit]

Least fav comic and fav comic

Ooooh okay! So, I’ll assume you’re talking about Marvel Comics, but I can add DC as well if anyone’s curious :)

Favourite -> It’s a super hard choice, but I have to say it’s a tie between, Black Widow (2014) and the 1975 run of Champions. For Black Widow (2014), I just adore Phil Noto’s art, and Edmondson’s characterization of Natasha is honestly so great. For Champions, it’s honestly a comfort comic. I love seeing Natasha run the team, and it’s just so fun and goofy with typical super-hero/god hijinks that it makes me laugh.

Least Favourite -> That’s honestly hard for me because I don’t tend to read comics I don’t enjoy, but the Zeb Wells Amazing Spider-Man run just really grinds my gears, especially when they killed off Kamala Khan (one of my favourite characters!!) in such a stupid and terrible way, only so they could resurrect her as a mutant. I could go into a whole rant about it, but tbh it’s probably very well-worn territory by this point lol, so instead I’m going to go with the current Spider-Woman run.

A lot of people don’t know this, but I really like 616!Jessica Drew, but this solo has been utterly terrible plot-wise. The whole thing where they aged-up Gerry just left a sour taste in my mouth, though I did really enjoy Jessica’s and Carol’s interactions (literally this comics only saving grace tbh), but other than my inner CarolJess Stan, I really don’t like it? Idk how to explain it, but it just feels like the writer doesn’t know what to do with Jess, and that sucks, because she’s such an interesting, complex character, and there is so much you could do with her and it feels like the writer is totally dismissive of her potential.

Oops! I definitely rambled too much there lol. Hope you don’t mind anon :) Thanks for the ask! Have a great day/night!

[e-icreator23]

Another thing.

Sorry a bit of a rant or something

Seems like no matter what neither of us can ever make him happy nor my mom. They both are disappointed in me mainly since I came out to them. My dad will yell at us for little things as well as my mom but they usually defend my siblings when they do something bad like breaking something or them blaming me for something I didn't do. I normally dont talk to them since I have to be careful with what I say since he will tell me that Im too weird, question whom im with and talk to an other things. Im am scared of my parents and they dont trust any authority figure, police men/women, doctors, dentist, teachers etc.

Since I like to draw, they find it really weird since they dont like what I draw and it's nothing that bad (in my opinion). They hate who I talk to (they aren't bad at all just they like games comics costplays things like that) and most of all anyone who's LGBTQ+. They hate it. I know I was an accident but they kept me since their parents made them and then they wanted more and they were better off with them. I still remember when my mom slammed my head into the table because she was mad with my hair and when she cut my back. I tried to please them as much as I could and I still do, Im a people pleaser and my friends get me in trouble because it. Im told that im ugly, a fag, stupid, fat, overweight, and that no one would want me and it does hurt. I tried to commit (if you know what I mean by that. the bad one) before but it didn't work so I played it off. I was taught that you couldn't cry for much and if you did you were considered weak. If it wants a funeral or something of that nature then it was stupid for you to cry. They will make fun of you and say it to your face. They also aren't afraid of the authorities. I was taught that you can never trust and authority figure and to be on the look out of them. I still do and my friends brought it up and I had to tell them. With the police constantly having to deal with both sides of the families problems. Ive grown a fear to them why most times I dont ask an adult for help. There was something that happened where a person wanted to do acts on me and I was uncomfortable with it and I did tell an authority figure but my dad told me that I was stupid for doing that and when the security tried to talk to me I walked away. I cant talk to councilors at all now. Therapy is also deemed worthless and a waste to them as well even though it has been recommended but they won't do it. I dont think I will be accepted in my family and those who have came out to them in my family have "disappeared" because they feel uncomfortable around them knowing they hate that. I feel like that as well so I have no idea what to say to any of them. This is why I roleplay so much to get away from it. It's comforting to me. And it also goes why im scared to talk to people like foxalone, nova2cosmos and their friends since I feel like the dont like me from what my family has said to me. Like them, they are awesome and talented creators and I admire them but my family criticize me for liking art and for saying how I feel. I know that my family doesnt like the little things I do and so I think that everyone hates it so thats why I get nervous to talk to any of them or tag them. (also why I say sorry in some since I think im bother them) Im really sorry about this and I know not really anyone will read this far but if you did then thank you and sorry again. If this is stupid for you then I can see why so yeah. Just wanted to say this. Im really only living for my friends and my love. So again im sorry for this rant or vent or whatever you call it. Thank you.

[erigold13261]

The NSpidR AU has a lot of emphasis on Community and Loneliness and I love it as a central theme so imma rant about it here: (NSR also puts emphasis on community and how artists can benefit or be harmed by it)

Community is what makes Miles so strong. He has a caring family (his mom, dad and uncle), and friends from the beginning. (Gwen and Ganke) This is his strength. This allows him to control his powers better, but also befriend people more easily. The community that Miles ends up making is what saves the Revolution in the end.

Hobie is also strengthened by the community they were in. They were alone, abandoned by their family, but they had Ex-Jay and Bunny. It was taught how to control its powers, and also how to organize a community (punk ideology in general). However, unlike Miles, Hobie is still not too keen on trusting adults for understandable reasons. It still needs to learn that some adults (Jonathan Ohnn being an example) can and should be trusted.

Gwen cut noteself off from the community note had, also justified since notes dad said some stupid stuff ("Did you lie to me?"). This made note very lonely and messed up, especially since leaving to Nueva York meant being cut off from Miles too. Gwen was fortunate enough to find a community that respected and supported her. Gwen learning to love noteself and notes buddies is what makes notes strong.

Miguel cut himself off from the community he had with Catherine and Rubato once Gabriella died, without asking for help. This made him think that solitude was the only answer, as repressing powers would probably leave many people lonely and messed up. (Yes he does have friends like Peter B and Jess but at what cost?) Miles ends up changing his mind, after seeing how happy/in control Jonathan was with his own powers.

I could go on about the other characters but I think what can be said is that all of them are able to be more in touch with their powers and happier due to the community they have. Loneliness is what makes them weak, true strength comes from the community. (EG: Noir was helped by Miles with the Rubik's Cube, and that made them have hope.)

(Meta: Peni in this AU looks more like kits ITSV counterpart, instead of being depressed like kits ATSV counterpart. This can be due to the fact that Peni wasn't alone (Noir, Hobie, Margo and Ham were all there for faer) for the whole year between ITSV and ATSV. Also due to the fact that Canon Event Number 2 never happened.)

(thanks for the AU, have a great day/night)

I honestly didn't even realize I was putting that much emphasis on community. At least not intentionally noticed it lol.

I'm really glad you like my AU and honestly love all the things you pointed out. I think it's just my love of found family or "blood of the covenant is thicker than water of the womb" that made me lean a lot more heavily into stories depicting community and helping each other out even if you aren't related.

Pretty sure I lean into lonliness because of my introvertedness, as well as my asexuality and aromantisism. I can't really connect with people IRL as easily as online, so I depict that in my stories (which also reinforces community over blood relations I suppose).

I also realize that I tend to make families a lot more dysfunctional, toxic, or something negative along those lines, probably because of my own family dynamics.

It's just really cool to see how much of myself or experiences I put into my writing without even realizing it until someone like you points it out to me.

All these points are also just super cool to read from someone else's perspective! Thanks for sending in this ask! I don't have much to add on to it since it was already really good.

The only thing I really got to say is that I was trying to make Peni a combination of ITSV and kits comic version. Peni was alone for a while before going to Nueva York, but because fae was able to still make those connections at a pretty young age, it helped a lot in staying happy and chipper.

ask game!!! #24! :DD

So, so much starting with comics for the wonderfam and a Connor Hawke run and a Mera run. Then obviously Oracle back to her pre N52 self but also. Have the characters actually acknowledge what was taken from them. The batgirls specifically like I want that so badly. Then give Cass a solo run and make stephcass canon through that while also building up to her taking over from Bruce and let Steph get her solo batgirl run back while she and Tim both start wondering what's next for them mantle wise since Cass is now Batman and it's triggering thoughts about the future and their role in Gotham/as a vigilante.

Dinah and Ollie break up and Dickbabs break up and it's sad but not nasty and then Dinahbabs finally gets it's moment to shine. Dickkori Titans arc slowly working their way back together. Let's see what else... oh the al Ghuls obviously. Fix Damian's backstory acknowledge that Talia was ooc due to brainwashing have them actually grapple with the horror that hey this woman who loves her son more than anything murdered him. How is she dealing with that trauma, how is Damian dealing with the knowledge that his mother wanted him to have a normal life and he didn't die because she hates him but because she was tortured into insanity. Basically picking up where Robin Son of Batman left off but making it an editorial mandate that you can't be stupid and racist when writing the al Ghuls.

I could probably rant about this for days but let's leave it here lmao. Thank you for the ask! :D

Oliver gives me the vibes of acting all cool collected and nonchalant but secretly obsessed with this one random thing like action figures a comic book series or a childish tv show and no one knows about it except when one day he sees a limited edition of something just his eyes light up his face pulls into the biggest most innocent smile and he lets out the most adorable little gasp when you ask him about it and immediately starts rambling about whatever it is and all you can do is just stare at this 6’3 man fanboying over a kids show with all the surprise and fondness and love in your eyes. Idk I just feel like once you get to really know this man and he really falls in love with you? That he’d let some of that facade down around you. I think it just means that he feels safe to be himself around you. And he doesn’t have that cool playboy image to uphold anymore at least not for a while and certainly not around you yknow? Idk that thought just came into my head and I had to share it with you. How are you btw? How’s uni? Hows the new show going? Also if you don’t mind. I will be ranting about the end of Tokyo Revengers in another ask and how it absolutely destroyed me and left me completely empty inside and just all the feelings because it’s my favorite and comfort manga. If that’s alright? *sends many virtual hugs*

- ✨ anon

✨ (the urge to call you starry or charmer but it’s upto you ♡) , I-

I love this. so much ♡(˃͈ દ ˂͈ ) this man has my heart and I had a dream about him last night

He'd fanboy over the little things so much - it's so adorable. 6'3 defender of japan going out shopping with you to buy figurines, mangas and pointing at the one he wants on the shelf with a smile. And imagine if you share the same passion? And what if it coincides?

I made some groundbreaking discoveries yesterday and many more reasons on why Oliver and I are the perfect couple

So I was curious to see if there was any fanart of him on twitter (cause the artists there are amazing and I found this one pic of tendou with like really short hair and he was fucking AHHh he was hot !! but anyway) I found a thread of discussion on Oliver

Turns out, he hates corn cause it gets stuck between his teeth and I have no words cause even I didn't like corn for that reason... but its alright to eat now ig; he likes shin ramyeon. (Literally stocked the goddamn thing into the cupboard yesterday adbfkjhfbhesff ) and he likes Spicy food!! 🥹

and his manga. *put on glasses* Chi: Chikyū no Undō ni Tsuite.

It is a historical manga and it’s coinciding with astronomy. *is a major of it at uni* I- Oliver is a nerd. He’s a nerd and I love him for it. And I’d like to think that there is a moment where he does engage with you in discussions about it and when you give him that look; that knowing look of ‘I know who you really are’ when he turns an argument into an intellectual one without realizing it. And he just gives you the look back of ‘I know. I’m not stupid. Surprise.’

And once he falls in love with you? playboy season is over and he will be locked.

I absolutely loved this thought and thank you for sharing it with me ଘ(੭ˊᵕˋ)੭ ♡

Cause seriously it fits well with his character and I can totally imagine him just being giddy about it (T.T) *heartclench*

What happened at uni today : So me and this guy I’ve known for 5 years since school share one of the majors we have out of two together. He’s very aloof, always sits at the back and doesn’t talk to anyone. But today since he was late, he sat next to me. And he goes ‘You’ve changed. You’ve lost a lost of weight.’ And not even in the positive way… it was condescending.

*proceeds to lose a debate against me* (like seriously you’d think I’d let that slide?)

I've also destroyed my glutes and elbows at the gym today and I'm writing more to the NNN challenge fic along with another one

Romantic killer is so cute and funny! I’d rec you to give it a watch !!

*passes cup of hot chocolate and a squishmallow* go on. I’m listening *pat pat* (੭˶•༝•˶)੭ ♡ You can rant to whenever you want <3

*sending warm and comforting hugs*

First off, happy 2023 and I hope this year will bring wonderful joy for you!😊 Anyway, I saw your tweets about the Lost Lagoon book. I've heard about the book on a couple occasions, but never looked into it. So if it's as bad as you mentioned, then thanks for the warning! I hate when my favorite characters aren't their canon self too. But with that being said, have you also checked out the other Tangled series books/comics yet, and if so, what do you think of them?

Okay, so I wanted to finish it before responding to this ask, which...proved to be rather difficult because large chunks of it are actually pretty boring. Full disclosure, I've always had trouble staying focused while reading - I zone out, I skim paragraphs, I often have to reread sentences multiple times, blah blah blah, I'm a shitty reader - but...this is Tangled. More importantly, this is Tangled prominently featuring Cassandra. My current obsession. All things considered, I should at the very least not be bored by this book. And yet, I found myself not really giving a shit about what was going on until the climax (which...is supposed to be the most exciting part of a story, so at least it achieves that bare minimum). I didn't care about the lagoon, I didn't care about any of the new characters, and I didn't even care about Rapunzel and Cassandra. It felt like a whole lot of nothing. It honest to god gave me flashbacks to elementary school, trying so hard to finish books I didn't really like because I had to take tests on them as part of my grade.

While I don't think it's a downright awful story or anything, the fact that it's working with already-established lore and characters that I practically know like the back of my hand at this point is the main reason I'm so critical of it. There is a slight improvement in the characterizations after the interlude, but that "off" feeling still lingers throughout, especially with scenes that directly contradict what happens in the show. The dialogue comes off as rather stilted half the time, and everyone only loosely resembles their canon selves. Honestly, while I could probably rant on Cassandra's characterization in more depth because she's the character I'm the most passionate about, Rapunzel and Eugene are arguably even more out-of-character than she is. Cassandra's exaggerated introversion is paired with a much less socially stunted Rapunzel who actually reflects on the way she treats Cass and a way too polite and humble Eugene who's actually nice to Cass when he first meets her. It's like their flaws were sanded down to balance out this portrayal of Cassandra being overly whiny and rude like an angsty teenager instead of the socially apt 22-year-old with reasonable reservations she is canonically. Y'know, like a fanfiction.

Honestly though, I am glad I read it. It's not good, but there are some scenes I enjoyed at least a little. Like I said, the climax was generally able to hold my attention. The scene where Rapunzel admits that telling Eugene about Cassandra sneaking her out of the castle was a hurtful thing to do was kinda nice, despite it further hammering in the fact that this story is very much not canon to the series lmao. Are these canonical contradictions in both characterization and plot distracting? Yes. Is it boring at points? Yup. Are there parts of it that are downright stupid? Of course. But at the same time, getting mad at a children's book released back in 2017 near the beginning of the show's run in 2023 as an adult who has been obsessed with the series for almost three years now is a little silly. After all, it did get the gears in my head turning about Tangled and I love thinking about Tangled a little too much.

And that's...believe it or not, the short version of my thoughts lmao. I have a lot more to say, but this post is already a bit long and I haven't even answered your question yet, so I'll stop myself here.

Anyway, regarding other Tangled books: I have seen random bits from various picture books floating around on social media, although I haven't had the means to actually read through any of them in full. They seem...cute, I guess. If anything, they have some really good illustrations that are fun to look at (I mean, I do have one of them as my blog header lol). I plan on giving Vanishing Village a chance eventually to see if it's any better, but I'll probably need to take a break first.

I have read most of the IDW comics, and I think they're pretty fun for what they are. They do represent the characters better than Lost Lagoon does, and while they obviously have no impact on the series, I find them more worthy as soft canon content as they do capture the style and tone pretty well. I think it helps that they generally stick with short, light-hearted adventures without really poking at the larger narrative too much. I enjoy them.

[starlightshadowsworld]

Do you mind if I ask your top 10 favorite characters (can be male or female) from all of the media that you loved (can be anime/manga, books, movies or tv series)? And why do you love them? Thanks....

Sure.

They aren't in any particular order, just girls and than the guys but they are my top 10 favs.

.

.

Sunset Shimmer (My little Pony equestria girls)

I love every one of the girls from EG but my favourite is most definitely Sunset.

I love seeing her grow, becoming friends with the others and finding herself.

Sunset's always trying to help others, making peace with her past and her risking everything in forgotten friendship made me cry.

Girl deserves so much.

Her resolve, her empathy for others and just a good ol villian to bestie arc is why I love her.

.

.

Stella (Winx club)

We don't speak of fate Stella.

Stella makes her mark from the first episode, she's the mysterious bubbly princess from another world.

I love her, so much.

She's loving and caring, damn near sacrificing herself in the Omega dimension just to keep her friends warm.

Stella is undoubtedly one of the best parts of winx club, helping Bloom get through Alfea and her relationship with all the Winx and Brandon.

Girls also got a temper and don't take bs which I just admired as a kid and I still do.

That and I always wanted to learn to sew and make clothing things, watching her make them.

.

.

Weiss Schnee (RWBY)

The ice Queen herself, absolutely love her. Her development is everything.

I love watching her interact witb her team, both snarky and loving. She's been a bridge to keep her team, her friends from falling apart.

I love Weiss because she was willing to grow and change. She was always silently rebelling and truly realised what was important to her.

That and her weapon and semblance is just amazing.

Seeing her make amends, grow and learn and accept those around her. Being the best team mate she can be, just yess.

And IQ just hammers that point home.

.

.

Mereoleona Vermillion (Black Clover)

I love all the woman from Black Clover but Mereoleona is my favourite.

She's an absolute terrifying badass of a woman who said nah you can't teach me anything I don't know.

She's not the Lioness for no reason.

Woman's just an inspirational badass who takes no shit and shows everyone time and time again to not underestimate her.

She's funny, she's blunt and I just love seeing fight.

.

.

Princess Rosalina (Mario, Super Mario)

Don't have much to say about Rosalina, she was my favourite of the princesses growing up and I find comfort in her to this day.

.

.

Judai/Jaden Yuki (Yugioh GX)

My favourite of the protags. I fucking love Judai's story, that he's the most idiotic, loving son of a bitch you'll ever meet.

He's hilarious in the dub and I just shake my head fondly at the stuff that he says.

His arc hits close to home, no I've never killed anyone but I have been that depressed.

Watching him go from the lowest of low to finding happiness again is heartwarming and I was cheering him on the whole way.

.

.

Casey Jones (Teenage mutant ninja turtles, 2012)

This mother fucker, my favourite character from the show till this day. He was fun comic relief and just expanding on his story now is fun.

That and knowing he's so much more than comic relief, the speed Demon episode is forever my favourite.

That and watching him, this regular guy (as if you could ever call Casey Jones, regular) make his own gadgets and become family to the turtles is just so cool.

.

.

Jason Grace (Percy Jackson, Heroes of Olympus)

I have ranted at length about my love for Jason Grace.

He is so underused, underutilised and under appreciated.

Seeing him lose everything, trying to rebuild it and finding a home with the seven just gets to me.

He's the golden child who stopped shining and had to find himself, and I feel that.

I love watching him interact with the others (minus the whole stupid rivalry between him and Percy that makes no sense.)

I just love him, he's my boi.

.

.

Jason Todd/Red Hood (Batman, DC)

Jason to me hits the same as Judai.

He's the fun loving child that went through hell and walked a dark path alone.

I cheer him on, I want him to be happy.

I loved his crime boss era it was so badass and just the way he differs from batman.

His ideology of controlling crime is both interesting and compelling.

I just think he's cool.

.

.

Makoto Naegi (Danganronpa)

My bean.

My boi.

Deserved so much, I love him and his long hecking speeches about hope.

He went through hell itself and everyone turned on him and came out of it smiling, I respect him so much.

[spaciebabie]

PLEASE tell me about your oc lore that comic was SO INTERESTING I'm on my hands and knees begging for more pls

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR THIS ASK I LOVE TALKING ABT MY OCS SM

I HADTA GET MY NOTES OUT FOR THIS ONE!

RANT UNDER READ MORE CUZ IT CONTAINS SPOILERS (EVEN THO IM PURPOSFULLY VAGUE) AND ITS ALSO A LOT

my GOD katherine quin- MY TRAGIC PROTAGONIST BABY WHO FEELS LIKE SHE ALWAYS HAS TA DO SOMTHIN ABT THE SITUATION EVEN THO SHE'S JUST A KID

i LOVE slow burns so everything in the story takes a moment ta kick off. you have katherine, "curiosity killed the kat" quin n her perfect parents, perfect friends n perfect life. everything is good. she's a kookie middleschooler abt ta go ta highschool, she's president of the history club, she's designated as the LEADER of the rexica manor field trip b/c of how dedicated she is ta learning abt their history.

she goes on the trip! it goes great, stupendous even! she comes home!! her parents are unreasonably upset for no reason b/c of a specifc thing that happens that i dont wanna spoil EERURUERUGUEGUEUGR

and she ends up learning a horrible truth. she's like, "i feel like we should do something now, with this thing i aquired maybe i can do something." n ppl keep telling her ta, "leave it ta the adults" "what are you even going ta do?", "everything is already in motion you just hafta wait till it all falls inta place" but-

FROM HER POV THE ADULTS HAVE BEEN STAGNANT, AWARE OF THE PROBLEM FOR 20+ YEARS N HAVENT BEEN DOING ANYTHING (spoilers? this is the incorrect mindset)

so she goes n does something STUPID. she directly puts herself in harms way, she puts herself in the forefront of the action b/c she thinks she can do somthing and the adults are forced ta acknowledge her b/c of this. they're forced ta include her even though they dont want to. again another child has decided that they want ta b involved in an ADULT MATTER and the only way they can make sure she n the other dumb kids stay alive is ta involve them so that they can watch over them.

time passes, a new character joins the fray. a deranged lunatic who will stop at nothing ta get what they want. they fucking flip the WHOLE WELL PLANNED OUT OPERATION THAT HAS BEEN IN THE WORKS FOR 20+ YEARS ON ITS HEAD AND KAT TURNS INTA A DIRECT TARGET.

people are hunting her. they want her dead. the police are aligned w/a new corrupt government that are after the thing she has designated herself ta protect (notice how i said, "herself" THE ADULTS DO NOT WANT HER TA PROTECT THIS THING) she's a fugative. she's an outlaw. she's protecting something the public percieves as dangerous, but she knows its not. her parents cant help her, n while she does have adults there ta aid her its obvi not the same. she misses her parents so much, she's stressed trying not ta get caught n die, having ta move from place ta place b/c of the threat of being recognized n the constant raids on the places she's at. i think that her birthday falls w/in this timeframe so like,,,,imagine trying ta celebrate your sweet 16 when your government is actively out hunting you.

AWFUL ANGSTY JUST THE WAY I LIKE IT

I HAVE HAD THIS WHOLE STORY PLANNED OUT SINCE I WAS 14 OH MY GOD I FUCKING LOVE THIS ARC!! ITS THE ANGSTIEST ARC OF THEM ALL AND AFTERWARDS THE CHARACTERS HAFTA SPEND THE NEXT ARC HEALING FROM THIS HORRIBLE THING WHILE DANGER STILL LOOMS IN THE DISTANCE.

THEY'RE IRREPERABLY SCARRED. PHYSICALLY, MENTALLY, KAT IS NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO SUFFERS FROM THIS!

and the best part of it is that some of it is her fault
