Guilty gear fandom misogyny is so incredibly frustrating

Like you can pick any boy out of the roster and the entire fanbase is probably falling over themselves to hype them up; people pop off for their associated players' gameplay, they construct elaborate fan media that brings out the intricacies of the characters and shows off their best points, and won't take no for an answer if someone claims to not find them maddeningly attractive

But then with the girls, at best nobody cares about them besides the dedicated superfans, and at worst literally every other player only speaks the character's name to complain. They'll get nothing but vapid pinup fanart with no regard for character, if they're even on the radar at all. Whenever one of the female characters gets a buff or a player makes a good tournament run, everyone stops what they're doing to complain for a month, until they go back to largely ignoring them again. And then whenever a patch brings a new boy people convince themselves is cool, or gives an existing one significant buffs, half the players on a female character drop her to switch. It's like clockwork.

Also for some reason every male character has people headcanoning them as trans in both directions, regardless of anything about their actual characterization, but none of the not-canonically-transfem girls really get that kind of fan attention, which is disappointing. Except that one artist who thinks elphelt should be transmasc.

I think the only guilty gear girl to escape this is Bridget, by dint of being a little sweetie pie. But she's still like a purely auxiliary character to the canon, so there's not a ton to talk about besides decade old discourse, and she's underdeveloped at a top level, with the only notable reps being players who use her to try and scam opponents out of a few games before switching to their real mains once they drop one themselves. Like despite her popularity among casual fans there's still no daru for Bridget

And honorable mention to season 2 baiken, who attracted a lot of upper level players who were unsatisfied with their mains at the time, who then nearly unanimously dropped her for John or sin in S3 when it became apparent that it wasn't as easy to win with her as they initially thought

Three months of vacation is still a vacation.. I think. Either way, you're gonna have to enjoy what time you have to yourself away from work.

I should also work on my live adaption cast posts for characters soon, since I know we talked about that before. Especially for the cast of BL as one of the series. Wait.. Did I mention to you? Because I think I did.

I know people don't know celebrities personally, but that doesn't even mean it wouldn't affect you in some way.. Especially if you knew them through their acting or music. And of course, many celebrities always are inspirational role models for some people too. I wasn't even sure if the Linkin Park analogy would have helped explain it? Since when the vocalist died, many fans were upset. Anyone would be upset if any of your favorite celebrities died, regardless of their cause of deaths too.

So I found out why they're diagnosis progressed so quickly.. They had two doctors giving the diagnoses. So the first doctor was just beating around the bush, said she had six months to a year to live. The doctor wasn't honest. And the second doctor did say that she only had a few weeks left, eventually a few days to only a couple hours until she died that night. The cancer started in her liver, lungs and pancreas until all the cancer spread throughout her body. The funerals in a couple days too. So I don't really think she suffered, at least not to my knowledge.

I hate this year.

Yes! Every comment I see in those videos if just fans begging for new seasons now. At this point, regardless if any adaptions are good (with prequels, sequels, spinoffs) or bad, I might be willing to watch it so I'd be able to see more of my favorite actors and characters again too.

Descendants Of The Sun was good. If you'd ever want to watch more of a multigenre Kdrama, I'd recommend it. Action, comedy, romance, amongst other genres are mixed into the show. But you don't have to.

I can't complain. I think he's handsome too. One of many reasons why I enjoy him as an actor and his characters, there's a possibility that he might be one of many celebrities crushes I have. I can't lie about that.

Besides Song Joongki's work. I've been watching a lot of Song Kang's work too, besides Sweet Home and My Demon, so I did give some of his other shows a chance. And I liked many of those shows too. So I'd recommend any of his work too, if you ever wanted to watch more of his work. Basically I'll recommend a lot of shows I watch, animated or nonanimated. Which you already know that by now anyway. So yeah..

I remember we briefly talked about Sweet Home. If I'm honest, I don't know if you will like this season. Because it actually does deviate from these comics. I won't say how because of spoilers. But there is a thing I can say, the cgi graphics for the monsters have gotten a lot better in these seasons (since they produced season two and three before he's had to go into the military). So I guess it depends on your opinions on season two, if you decide to watch the final season during summer.

And I know, I know.. I've been watching a lot of Asian media lately so I should start watching anime again. Like Jujutsu Kaisen show and the movie is on Netflix now so I may rewatch that, also same with Demon Slayer, along with other series too. So I have some catching up to do.

- 💋

you have mentioned coming up with live adaptation casts! i look forward to seeing it, especially of BL. i know a lot of older anime has gotten live adaptations, and i feel like BL really deserves one. though i’ll set my expectations high for it, so i might be easily disappointed if it doesn’t turn out well :’)

wow… that’s very unethical of the first doctor to be so dishonest? from six months to a few weeks/hours is a huge difference. i’m glad that at least she didn’t have to suffer much, but that must’ve been so scary to find out. my heart reaches out to you and your family. i hope you have people or things in your life that can distract you as you heal as well

ah on the topic of recommending things, if you enjoy watching asian media, have i ever recommend signal before? it’s on netflix and one of the ones that i really enjoyed 😊 i’m into things with a lot of mystery and suspense, and if you enjoy crime solving, this is a very solid series. demon slayer is always great to watch since ufotable goes above and beyond with adapting it. i fell out of jujutsu kaisen for a while now but i hope you enjoy whenever you get around to it again!

finals never end

summary: as finals approach, i would like to imagine that there is something more to college than studying alone in a box for 14 hours a day. so, here's a modern au of the genshin boys as college students.

Characters included: Diluc, Kaeya, Childe, Xiao, Zhongli

Diluc:

- Who are we kidding, this bitch is a legacy at some pricy Ivy League. Hates when people bring it up though since he just wants to be his own person and not rely on his family name to get through things.

- Majors in business because of course he does. Rushed a business frat because it seemed like a good idea. Didn't get a bid and has since boycotted greek life.

- Eventually people find out who his father is and he starts to get bombarded by people who just basically want to use him for networking. Gets approached by girls (and sometime guys) after class like literally every day, asking if he wants to study with them sometime or just "hang out" both because he's hot and because he's rich. He never gives them the time of day but that never stops them.

- Goes to the same school as Kaeya but ignores him every time he tries to talk to him or just come back into his life. Kaeya usually takes it in stride but every else is super confused about how the two of them actually know each other.

- Walks you home from class when it starts to get darker earlier, apparently only because he doesn't have anything better to do. A gentleman through and through.

"Don't you have a meeting right now?"

"You staying safe is more important right now. They'll understand."

Kaeya:

- You know that one guy who is always out partying and who you never see studying but somehow makes the Dean's List every single semester without fail? Yeah, that's Kaeya.

- He's probably like an engineering or hard science major too and all his friends are absolutely pissed when he fucks up the curve every single time.

"You got a 98 on the orgo final???" "What, like it's hard?"

- Not as much of a hoe as everyone thinks he is. He definitely has his fun but he's not that guy who has slept his way through his entire major.

- Surprisingly enough, he's not actually in a frat, he just always knows where all the parties are. He's that guy with a snap score in the millions because everyone and their cousin hits him up every Friday night to ask where the parties are at.

-Generally seen as a really easy person to talk too. Also really good at seeming open with people without actually ever opening up and sharing anything about himself.

- With his very few close friends however, he has some strange hobbies that he's always happy to have someone to share with.

-Will take you on a picnic date about a mile off campus where you guys each way too much cheese and crackers, drink about a bottle of wine each, and watch the stars come out as the sun sets. Give the boy some love. That's all he really wants.

Venti:

-Your local friendly performing arts major who you never find without a huge iced coffee and cuffed jeans.

- He's super involved in a bunch of student organizations from improv to a few music clubs and the like. He's that person that everyone in his major knows and comes to for recommendations about new things that they should try out.

- He's in a band! They play indie songs at rotating bars every Tuesday and Thursday night and go to conferences once a semester for aspiring artists. Also sometimes will randomly perform on the Quad and serenade the random people passing by just trying to get to class.

-Offers to play at an event a club you're in is hosting as long as there's free snacks.

- Kind of an alcoholic? Not a partier in the traditional sense, but at least twice a week, he'll host a hangout where he and anyone who decides to show up get wine drunk and watch a shit ton of Gilmore Girls. BYOB of course because there's no way he could afford it on his own. Has shown up to class still drunk before but he's cute so everyone forgives him.

- Impromptu photo shoots all the time with him. Whether its a cute random flower patch, the soft neon signs outside of a boba shop, or graffiti painted onto a building wall, everything is an insta opportunity.

Xiao:

- That mysterious kid sitting in the back of your lecture wearing all black who is both undeniably hot and also exceedingly intimidating.

- Either an animal sciences major because animals are just better than humans, or he's like like history/english and spends a lot of time reading.

- He's that guy who stops communicating after the first day of your group project and you're really worried that they're just not going to finish their work but they end up sending it to you perfectly complete like a week early. Also, will talk/text you one-on-one but dislikes group meetings and group chats.

- He's in a band too! They actually play with Venti and his friends a lot and even though he admires him a lot, he's never gotten around to actually talking to Venti.

- Doesn't let people come over because then his frighteningly large collection of Funko-Pops and anime merch will be revealed.

- Also a dancer! He's not on a team or anything since he had some bad experiences with teams when he was younger, but he heads down to the studio at least 2 times a week just to move and let out some stress. If he offers to teach you sometime, that means he really really likes you.

- Asked if you wanted to go see the Demon Slayer movie with him and then showed up in a black mask and sunglasses because he didn't want anyone to recognize him.

Childe:

- Idk why but he kind of gives off athlete vibes??? Maybe like a basketball player or something?

- A bit of a campus celebrity just in that basically everyone, even if they aren't in the same major or aren't into sports, or just basically have no connection to him, still somehow know about him.

- He's a PR major and that charm is no joke. Some people kind of despise him because of the way he is literally able to effortlessly win over all of the recruiters and just random people he meets. He's extremely well-loved and he knows it.

- He's in a frat but outside of like mandatory events, doesn't spend all that much time with them. When he does party though, he goes hard.

- Doesn't actively flirt with anyone but he's just so charming and amiable that sometimes it comes across that way. Girls are always like "he's so respectful and nice I'm in love with him." He never feels the same way.

- Extremely competitive. Like the most competitive person you have literally ever met. He has to win everything and if he doesn't, he'll just keep trying and trying until he does. Literally the worst person to play beer pong with because he's not letting you go until he wins.

- Asks you to come to his games even though you barely even know the rules. If he does see you in the crowd, he gets way too hyped but plays the best he has all season. Make sure you take the credit for it.

Zhongli:

- That guy in your required philosophy class who argues with the professor. Not in an annoying "I'm smart and want an excuse to mansplain" kind of way though. He's actually just absurdly well-read and wants to discuss things instead of just listening to someone talk.

- People get annoyed with him because he's kind of disrupting class but if you actually listen to what he's saying, his ideas make a lot of sense and are kind of a mind-fuck at times.

- Has an extensive collection of plants at home and somehow manages to keep all of them alive and thriving. Also collects antique tea sets and goes to great lengths to make sure that they are taken care of.

- Probably actually a philosophy or anthropology major. Always has a new book recommendation and he's a darling who actually reads from every genre.

- Spends his free time going to museums in the area or visiting historical landmarks that are close enough to the university. Loves walking everywhere so that he can just take time to enjoy scenery and the like.

- You mention that there's a new exhibit at the local art gallery and he says that he's actually going there that evening if you would like to join him. And I mean, why would you refuse?

A.N. I'm gonna go back to studying now! Hope you enjoyed!
