I knew Alastor was gonna grow to be the dad figure, it's a given with mentors... but... HAVING A DUET WITH THE BIOLOGICAL DEPRESSED FATHER THAT ACTUALY WANTS TO RECONECT/CONECT AS A CUSTODY BATTLE WAS NOT ON THE BINGO LIST HOLD ON-
Just here to hype up @morganbritton132 's Eddie Munson tiktok saga. It's just so ... *mwuah*!
Seriously, I'm so enamoured with it it's almost embarrassing (especially for someone who's never used tiktok a single time in their life). Each new post, no matter how short, instantly makes me want to write an entire episode's worth of script around it and make it an actual sitcom.
Also I'm obsessed with Steve and Diane's dynamic and whenever it's mentioned my brain autoplays this video, so naturally I have to inflict this curse upon you lot as well:
So yeah this series is amazing and everyone needs to go check it out. Thanks again to @morganbritton132 for blessing this here hellsite with it!
Vampire familiars are so fucking interesting by the way. Both in a Watsonian 'who are you, what brought you here, why do you STAY in this position, what keeps you' way and a Doylist ''how did we go from R. M. 'tried to take down Dracula with his bare hands when he realized he was getting scammed' Renfield to the current common interpretation of vampire familiars as complete pushovers' way

the biggest thing about X6 is not that he doesn't think of himself as human (though he doesn't, and according to some it's correct) BUT that he doesn't see himself as a Person
i wonder when it'll be that talon first begins imitating humming, replaying songs they've heard. whats the first one they get so invested in, that they get the urge to hear it again, and the mere memory of it will not suffice... or is it simply a matter of it getting 'stuck in their head'....
im assuming the masks are for macaque so !! for the ship game
1) What's their love languages?: wukongs love languages are definitely gift giving, physical touch, and acts of service. macaques are spending time together, words of admiration, and also physical touch. theyre both touch starved as hell idc what anyone says
7) Who is the more romantic one?: theyre both a little romantic just in different areas, i think. wukongs real into making big, grand gestures and being outwardly romantic and showy while macaque is good with his words and can woo someone with just a few sentences. to me personally, id say wukong is the more romantic one rather than mac because wukong puts a lot more into his gestures than macaque does.
19) How do they silently/subtly express their love for each other?: macaque is a pretty reserved guy, preferring to keep quiet and to himself because thats what hes used to, so i think hes the type to show he cares through little house chores. he cooks for wukong, cleans for him, helps watch over the mountain, things like that. it keeps mac busy and it helps lessen any stress on wukong so it works out for both of them. Wukong, i think, is a lot less subtle in everything he does so most of his caring gestures are him bringing macaque something that reminded wukong of him. but when theyre alone together, just having wukong there to listen is enough to show macaque he cares.
23) Do they like pickup lines?: YEAH YEAH YEAH WUKONG ESPECIALLY !! wukong looooves using pickup lines on macaque and they always. work. macaque gets so flustered over them and he thinks theyre stupid and corny but thats not gonna stop wukong !!!
30) Free space!: macaque LOVES to steal wukongs clothes, like all the time. i headcanon macaque to be shorter than wukong so in my head wukongs clothes would be a little more baggy on macaque especially if theyre already baggy on wukong. macaques a hoodie stealer and even a shirt stealer and he only ever takes wukongs favorite articles of clothing because that means he wears them alot which equals nice, good ol wukong smell. (i headcanon wukong smells like peaches, rain dew, and dirt. he has this really earthy smell and macaque cant get enough of it) wukongs perfectly fine with macaque taking his clothes, he encourages it half the time, he just wishes mac would stop taking the ones he wears the most because he needs them
i know i’ve said that being able to do the stereotypical insane ao3 authors notes is fun and amusing to me but can the universe NOT take that as a challenge to add more shit to my list of things to add next time i post ???? like. fucking. Calm Down Please.
Sometimes venturing onto the For You side of Twitter sparks joy.
Based take. Shoujo and Josei are fucking top notch, both in characters and art style (how can you not think they’re beautiful?)
“Ruined the JJK and MHA fandoms” is WILD. I avoid fandoms for the most part (except perusing tumblr for the occasional fucking thesis women write about character motivations i love you women <3) because they usually suck. Seriously, I kept up with OPM for a bit because it was entertaining but holy shit the subreddit (very much full of men) is literally just… sexy woman. More sexy woman. Memes about artist constantly drawing sexy woman. Memes. Occasional power scaling arguments. Low quality page colorings of the exact same page. There is NOTHING. How the hell can women ruin the fandom when the fandom IS the women?!
It’s the women creating in depth analyses on characters; it’s the women writing fanfiction, creating doujinshis; it’s the women creating fandom centered accounts; it’s the women buying every new merch piece that comes out AND giving free advertising by posting about it online. And then men will go on and rag on women for doing all these things. It’s infuriating.
Longevity of a series is also something these idiots ignore. Seriously, look at Katekyo Hitman Reborn. The manga ended in 2012 and the creator is working on a different series. Katekyo Hitman Reborn still gets regular merch releases. This is a series that ended over a decade ago and still has an incredibly dedicated fanbase of, I wonder who, that regularly spends enough money to keep it consistent. You cannot look me in the eyes and tell me that series is supported mainly by men. I do not care how hard Amano Akira tried to alienate her female fans with her treatment of the female characters you know exactly whos spending the money based on who is constantly getting merch (minus the titular character, because of course he has to be there.)
Honestly I don’t give a damn that fandom can often be absolute insanity; you get a group of people together and it’s always going to be a shitshow, that isn’t unique to fandom, people just like to pretend it is because as always, there’s an undercurrent of misogyny because people know women carry that shit but they only want to acknowledge it when they can use it to criticize them.
I love that she came for the JJK fandom as well. I’ve been following the series because honestly it is really fucking funny because it is the epitome of shounen tropes. The author literally baked them into the world. Explaining your abilities to the opponent makes them stronger. So this entire series you get giant pages of just white with text explaining every little fucking thing like theres a narrator standing over your shoulder making sure you can’t possibly miss anything on the first read. Fuck dude, I don’t mind exorbitant amounts of text in my manga, but you cannot be serious in pretending that is good writing. There’s a deus ex machina that every character can pull out of their ass called a binding vow. Black flash also falls into this category.
Hell, the latest arc has literally just been flashback after flashback playing during the battle of the characters forming a bunch of plans in preparation for the fight we currently are following. This is genuinely one of my most hated tropes. The characters just get off screen power ups that then get handwaved as “well we showed you the flashback right?” there is NO anticipation, any excitement you feel for the battle is purely manufactured rather than genuine. It’s not “I can’t wait to see how the growth I followed of these characters affects the battle” it’s “wow, what cool ability will they pull out of their ass next?” I hate it I loathe it and it’s even worse with emotional moments. Why couldn’t you write this into the story in the first place? Why are you giving it to me in a shitty flashback?
Maybe I didn’t explain it well enough because I launched into a rant. The reason I hated it so much is because it forced the reader to be an observer rather than an active participant in the manga. Everything is spoonfed to you. You don’t need to reread the chapters over and over to put together the pieces on how, where, and why each action took place, the author does that for you. You don’t see everything from a new perspective when you read it a second time, catching lots of things you may have missed because you’re not allowed to miss anything the author deems important.
I enjoy this manga. There is good things about it. But it is nowhere near the god manga (“kamige” would be the term if it was a visual novel; I don’t know a manga equivalent) men like to pretend it is. It genuinely seems like they think everything being explained every page is good writing.
Based and succinct.
Anyway, you shouldn’t restrict yourself from experiencing specific genres because they’re for “the lessers” because that’s actually fucking cringe and maybe you should touch a Josei manga, or even a Shoujo manga. Maybe it’ll open your eyes and you’ll realize, hey, women’s media is actually- oh who the fuck am I kidding just pull the trigger.
