#this is not slander they are literally trash and i love them

[frozenmoonshine]

TR boys' unexpected/random red flags headcanon:

Just some crack and slander for the humor purposes. As always, don't take it too seriously, and have fun with it at least half as much as I did writing it!

Since I obviously need to spell this out for some of you, even though it's literally in the title of the post - these are the red flags you wouldn't normally expect from them! That's the whole point of them being unexpected. So don't go telling me how I missed the mark with some characters, or how their red flags are something else. Yeah, we all know the obvious ones, but why would I state the obvious?!

TW: F!reader; implied mysogyny; mentions of DV, cheating, and general toxic behavior.

🚩Mikey - proposes on the second date.

🚩Draken - never talks about himself whatsoever. Even when you directly ask him to open up about what's troubling him, he's still difficult and avoids conversation.

🚩Baji - mama's boy. At first, it looks sweet, how he cares about and respects his mother, but soon you realize that he is dependant on her, and cannot make any decisions bigger than what to eat on his own, without "consulting with his mom". Silver lining is that Ryouko is an amazing, lovely woman, but you don't exactly want to date both the mother and the son at the same time, do you?

🚩Chifuyu - overromanticizes everything, then gets mad at you if things don't turn out irl the same they were in his imagination.

🚩Mitsuya - really damn cheap. Like, ok, I know you grew up poor, but going out once a month won't bankrupt you! (You're not even asking him to pay for you or anything like that, but he just refuses to step even one milimeter out of his frugal ways!)

🚩Hakkai - aside from the obvious red flag (you get a package deal of Yuzuha and Mitsuya as well, if you are dating Hakkai), he can also be incredibly self-absorbed and condescending sometimes, thinking he's so much better than you, etc.

🚩Pah-chin & 🚩Peh-yan - putting them together cause they have the same red flag - if you date one of them, the other one will third wheel all of your dates, no exeptions. Might as well just go poly and date them both at this point!

🚩Smiley - refers to women as "females".

🚩Angry - doesn't let you do anything on your own/overprotective. Look, Souya, it's nice that you're being a gentleman, but do you really think I'm incapable of getting a glass of water for myself?! His behaviour can be incredibly stifling and suffocating.

🚩Mucho - won't ever let you pick a date spot cause he's convinced he knows the best. You always end up doing what he wants for dates, or you don't go on a date at all.

🚩Haruchiyo - yeah, sure, he's got more red flags than China, but the not so expected one is that he's incredibly fussy and naggy about the smallest of things. "That's not how you put the trash bag in the can!" "You folded the laundry wrong! Look how I do it!" "Wipe the counter with this, not that!" "Don't leave your hair everywhere! I don't wanna live with a cat!" And so on and so forth, it feels like you are living with your parent(s) all over again!

🚩Hanma - another one with enough red flags to call it a carnival, sure, but the one that catches you off guard is just how jealous and possessive he is. "Where are you going?" "Why is your dress so short?" "You can't go out with male company wearing your tits out!" "Why are you hiding your phone?" "Who's that?" and so on and so forth, you get the idea.

🚩Kazutora - yet another walking red flag in a row (at least his unhealed self), but even as an adult (healed) he still retains that aggression from his teens and gets into random street/bar fights semi-regularly. Him coming back home bloody and bruised is not a rare occurrence at all.

🚩Kisaki - cheats. No idea how he manages to, provided that he looks like... well, that, but he still does.

🚩Taiju - a religious freak prone to domestic violence... what more red flags can you even ask for? None, indeed. But what you don't expect on top of all that is his complete lack of manners and just how loud and embarrassing he can be in public.

🚩Inupi - rude to the waitstaff.

🚩Koko - never got over his ex, stuck on her forever, and cannot ever be fully present in his current relationship. Compares you to his ex all the time, every other person he dated after her was just an unsuccessful rebound.

🚩Izana - does he even have any green ones? Likely not. But what you wouldn't exactly expect from him right away, given all the other red flags that come into front upon the first contact - is that he's a bad mansplainer. "You probably don't know how the betta fish do this thing where..." - Izana, I'm literally a marine biologist.

🚩Kakuchou - breaks up with you over the smallest things. He missed your call cause he didn't hear his phone ring while in the traffic? - He's not good enough for you and you two should break up. He was late 5 minutes to your date because Izana needed his help with something? - He's lowkey ready to commit seppuku, and of course, dramatically breaks up with you. It's tiring, honestly.

🚩Ran - gaslighter and manipulator par exellence! Undiagnozed NPD, but the symptoms are everywhere.

🚩Rindou - loves the gym more than you. Obsessed with working out and body building, won't eat normal food, spends all time in front of the mirror flexing and "checking his gains". Will either try to "get you into fitness" (force you to act the same way he does) or constantly tell you that you "don't understand" just how important it is to him. Is your 10th workout this week really more important than our anniversary, tho, Rindou?

🚩Mocchi - manspreads all the time, and manspreads badly. He's also that type that won't move away from the sidewalk if a woman is coming the opposite way.

🚩Madarame - probably not unexpected, but he's the biggest, worst incel of all. Lives in the manosphere and inhales the alpha bro bullshit podcasts.

🚩South - judges and publicly makes fun of your music taste. It doesn't matter what you listen to, unless it's 101% exactly the same as his taste, he'll be a real bitch about it. Of course, don't even dream about getting a hold of the aux cord!

🚩Shinichiro - doesn't shower regularly. Idk Shin, maybe your lack of personal hygiene was the reason for all those rejections so far? Just some food for thought...

🚩Takeomi - yet another one that's redder than the red army, but what you don't expect is how much he infantilizes you, especially if you are younger than him! Even if it's just one year age difference between you, he'll act all patronizing and constantly emphasise his "rich life experience" and tell you how "you don't understand some things because you are (too) young".

🚩Wakasa - secretly insecure about his height and gets super jealous if he sees you talking to a tall guy. Doesn't even matter if it's your blood relative or a random stranger asking directions in the street - Waka isn't having any of that. He'll sulk and jab at you for the whole day, never saying what the actual problem is.

🚩Benkei - Cannot find/keep a proper job to save his life! Got into some kind of beef with every single potential employer, so he's doomed to working at the gym for the rest of his days.

This sounds stupid but if ants had swear words what would they be about

I LOVE THIS QUESTION i get to use it for worldbuilding while i have fun with it. here

ant poop is called "frass". which is a great word because it's short and snappy and begins with F and has ass in it and a nice sharp sound. you bet they are saying this word in every context. this is the go-to curse word

corpse pheromones. there's a scent ants give off when they die that tells other ants to pick them up and take them to the trash/graveyard, for good housekeeping. if a live ant gets the smell on them they'll go hang out in the trash because they're like well i smell like a dead ant so i guess i belong in the trash. i think it's probably common to slander things by saying something that literally means "covered in corpse smell" and figuratively means it belongs far away from the colony/is undesirable. that or to call someone out for being deliberately useless/unhelpful/lazy by saying "do you smell [dead ants] on yourself or something"

death spirals/ant mills. (link has a gif of real ants doing this, fair warning for anyone reading this who doesn't wanna see bugs). can be co-opted to talk in angry or hushed tones about anything that's badly informed, unwise, or crazy. but it's considered kind of crass and insensitive to use the word that way. i.e. "her plan is stupid. if you ask me she's leading a mill" "omg you can't say that...."

when it's alate season, male ants will apparently often mount the female in the air and then they'll finish that business on the ground. i bet you £50 there are words for skyfucking (kinky) and groundfucking (ordinary)

trophallaxis (the sharing of food/pheromones/etc via the mouth) is a normal thing they do every day all the time so i also think it would be funny if you could say "wouldn't kiss him if he was starving" and have other ants clutch their pearls at the insensitivity because it implies "wouldnt care if he dies lol". (and bonus points if "kiss" has absolutely no romantic connotations)

i'm at work or i'd keep going. maybe i will later. also please take my ant facts with a pinch of salt because there are a zillion types of ants and not all of them have the same ecology etc

TWST characters as different people i've seen at school

yes most of this is slander

Riddle: The kid who treated being line leader as though he had just been elected President of the United States of America

Ace: Would stand up in class and shout "FOR KOBE" and throw a piece of paper at the trash bin. Would completely miss.

Cater: Filming a fucking TikTok dance in the middle of the school hallway during class transitions. Fucking MOVE, i got places to be. (I walk directly though their tiktok and ruin it)

Trey: That kid who's birthday you know by heart and eagerly await every year because he brings in the BEST desserts. The good kush.

Deuce: Says the stupidest shit in class unironically. Other guys are confused as to how this makes him more endearing but girls fawn all over him.

Azul: Passes by his crush (Jamil) in the hallway and thinks blud will stop and fall madly in love with him at first sight and will declare his love to Azul and it'll be something straight out of a teen girl movie. It ends up playing out exactly like this video: https://www.tiktok.com/@irljigsaw/video/7232906141385215274?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc

Floyd: Kid who only likes Chemistry because he's crazy excited about mixing chemicals and setting things on fire. Anything he makes in a lab he loudly comments on how badly he want's to take a bit fat slurp/bite out of it. (it's me i do this)

Jade: One of the mushroom core girlies. Wears mushroom jewelry, has mushrooms patterns on his clothes, draws them for art class, draws them on his notebooks and binders. It's almost obnoxious but he's forgiven by everyone because he's hot.

Leona: Literally doesn't give a shit about school. Shows up in pajama bottom's and takes the fattest nap right in the middle of Geometry.

Jack: The only nice guy on the football team, girls LUST for him ❤

Ruggie: The only class this kid liked was free and reduced lunch (real)

Kalim: Guy who refuses to eat school food. He's probably got the right idea, that nacho cheese sauce probably causes cancer. Brings the most banger lunches and makes people jealous. (Lunchables, the GOOD fruit gummies, chips, a cookie, and a Caprisun.)

Jamil: In classes where you're not allowed to eat, he's the kid who sits in the back and makes a 9 course Gordan Ramsay approved gourmet meal.

Idia: This was so easy this guy was the anime weebo who wore anime merch every day and sometimes even wore anime wigs to school. He won't admit it but he would Naruto run through the halls in middle school.

Ortho: The cute little innocent babey schnookums who the girls all doted on. Hurt him and you'll get jumped by every girl in the student body. Fuck around and find out type shit.

Vil: Bozo who would literally paint their nails in class and would be doing their eyeliner while the teacher was trying to explain mRNA.

Epel: YEEHAW REDNECK KID. you know who i mean. the one who wears a hat with the American flag on it every day and whenever the teacher tells them to take it off they go on a rant about how unpatriotic the teacher is.

Rook: The only kid who actually liked French class. Tries to rizz people up in the hallway and asks for their Snap but always fails. Maidenless behavior.

Malleus: The tall quiet emo kid who slumps in his chair on his phone, with the bottom resting on his belly. He looks like he's listening to edgy emo music but it's actually tooth rotting cheesy pop music

Lilia: The manic pixie dream girl who will spew the most wise sage advice when asked.

Sebek: Literally one of those girls who's attached to her boyfriend like a parasite. You cannot separate her. Overly loyal and won't stfu. Is like a mix between a golden retriever and a chihuahua.

Silver: I swear on my life he's one of the kids who's been adopted by his entire friendgroup. People love him he's just a likeable person. He makes a new friend and BOOM they've adopted him. You're my son now, boy.

@heartscrypt i thought specifically of you while writing Azuls

anyways all of these are people i've known i've got irl sources for this. no i won't apologize for all the slander because it's funny.

[kdinjenzen]

I forgot how hard Shield Hero goes and how much I appreciate the main character.

Out of the gate the dude is subjected to poor treatment, harassment, corrupt government schemes, an evil church, and has literally everything taken away from him.

Spends all of season 1 saying “Fuck you, I’m doing things my way.” and still pours all his energy into helping people, doing better, and cleaning up the messes of everyone else.

Is then subjected to more harassment, torture, ridicule, and decides to stubbornly stick to his guns and save people his way.

And when he finally can get revenge, when it’s all out in the open and everything they said about him as a person is proven to be lies and slander, the two biggest perpetrators are sentenced to immediate death…

He stops the execution.

Saves their lives.

And convinces everyone to give them a different punishment by changing their names to Trash and Bitch.

10/10 move. Love it.

[kinokoshoujoart]

scribbled down a relationship chart for the forgotten valley bros to collect my thoughts after snooping into their dialogue files, because i’m crazy over the barebones scraps of tiny interactions between them that we are given they’re a neat group of lads and i want to see them in lots of wacky situations together

rambling explanation and screenshots under the cut. spoilers for dialogue

gordy and gustafa are bffs and i love them!!!!!

they have mutual respect for each other… gustafa clearly admires and understands gordy’s art, and gordy seems to view gustafa as his closest confidant, he even gets you and Gustafa the new kitchen if you enter chapter 2 without being able to “afford” it yourself

they only really mention each other and don’t have anything to say about the other two boys

no one has anything bad to say about gustafa, which is exactly how it should be. blessed bard. it’s extra sweet to me that he’s the most well-liked bachelor both in and out of the game given one of the npc gossip lines your son can tell you— he grew up without many friends (in the original game the secret was that he was bullied). he deserves all the happiness in the world

matt opinions

matt shares his Opinions (slander) on gordy and rock specifically if you show him your kid with them, but has no slander for gustafa… his line for gustafa is instead just copied from what he says about the bachelorettes’ kids. so i count that as a gustafa win

i had to stretch to find any mention of gustafa by matt, the closest thing is that he comments that he doesn’t usually go to the starlight concert

i want gustafa and matt to interact!!! i want gustafa to give matt a tomato when he’s being gruff like he did with nami (matt: “th-thank you…..*blush* i already have ten billion of these”) matt also has lines about farm work being easier when you’ve got music accompanying you if you show him a record so i’ll count that as a very flimsy positive connection (matt IS friendly with gavin, due to frequenting the bluebird café, but is a bit reticent to make friends on his own)

rock opinions and social diseases

rock is extremely excited about hearing gustafa play music and calls him a wizard at the guitar and says he never gets tired of hearing him play. he also likes wandering over to gustafa’s yurt and listening to his music along with tei on market days (his most normal bachelor to bachelor interaction)

the only guy who gets no positive comment from rock is matt, instead rock goes to town roasting him in his fourth heart event out of envy for a completely imaginary situation and argues that he’s worth a hundred matthew’s (source?). he also likes to go into the already crowded farmhouse at night on market days and make it even more cramped, but he usually leaves right before matt gets home

finally rock has what i can only describe as a really odd one-sided crush on gordy!! he meanders into gordy’s trailer at 12:45 AM (AM) every market day and loudly, obliviously asks why there’s so much “trash” everywhere (you’re the trash, rock!!!!!!). thankfully rock is quite literally beneath gordy’s notice, however this seems to make rock sad and he tries to come up with wacky stunts to get gordy’s attention like drawing on gordy’s face and… holding his breath? (maybe, i dunno WHERE that dialogue triggers). he has a line celebrating gordy finally noticing him, i’m not sure what causes it though (for his part, gordy has no lines referencing rock)

finally, if you show rock your kid he will tease them by bragging that he was waaaay cuter at their age… but ONLY if it’s a bachelor’s child. rock your complex is so obvious that it’s more of a simple

in summary,

rock seems to think highly of each of the guys (except matt), unfortunately this manifests in him making really odd attempts to barge into their houses at strange hours and by trying to assert dominance in annoying ways. thankfully no one really notices anything he does (except matt)

matt doesn’t generally say nice things about anyone except cecilia (which makes the nice things he says, like about nina, more meaningful…) so unsurprisingly he has nothing nice to say about any of the guys, but he doesn’t have anything negative to say about gustafa. however he seems to want friends to do stuff with (he complains about how no one in the valley wants to go swimming…..hhhgg i am desperate to force rock and matt to spend time together. a friendship where you can’t stand each other but you’re the only two people who enjoy doing the same hobby so you put your differences aside and splash around in the water) like with rock no one really seems aware of matt’s existence except rock who is Extrwmely Aware to the point of knowing about matt’s crush on ceci, but unlike rock matt is not exactly jumping at the chance to go socialize with others

gustafa and gordy are friends with each other (and also both are friends with nami) and they support each others ambitions. i have no source but i’m confident that when gustafa visits gordy he’s also bringing him water and soup (he also visits daryl so i think it’s cool and fun if gustafa drops in on the local lost-in-thought creative hermits with hydration reminders and care packages)

[destinygoldenstar]

I just LOVE this detail in this trailer.

When Bubble literally comes out of Pomni’s mouth to ask “How can we support the production of this cool new show?”

Caine’s response is “Great question POMNI”

Even though Pomni was not the one who asked that question.

This could just be a gag of “Bubble is speaking for Pomni as they came out of her mouth” and I’m overthinking it. That’s probably what it is.

But I think Caine knows Pomni didn’t really ask that, he was just THAT enthusiastic about the promotion. It happened again at the start of the trailer when he ignored her response.

“Hey Pomni! Guess what?”

“No-“

“You’re right!”

And this is perfectly in character for Caine, as he constantly did this in the Pilot as well.

“We should have a brand new adventure for our new member, Pomni!”

“I said that like five minutes ago-“

-

“What do you think of XDDCC?”

“Uh-“

“You’re right, terrible! Let’s try that again!”

-

“Kaufmo abstracted?!! wHy DiDn’T aNyOnE tElL mE?!?”

I think this is such a great way of staying in character for both sides.

It would’ve been so easy to just have Pomni ask the question herself. But the writers knew that would’ve been OOC and Pomni would NEVER ask something like this.

None of the cast besides Caine and Bubble would honestly. The point is that none of them want to be here. And Pomni, despite being new, especially doesn’t want to be here. So they wouldn’t play along with Caine’s enthusiasm, ad or not.

But Caine being A.I, thinks that the humans would be, this plays along with a response that didn’t happen. Because HE finds it as entertaining as he makes it sound.

It’s more so a lack of awareness (how could he?) rather than intentionally silencing opposition. Opposition that he just thinks isn’t there.

Cause humans LOVE adventure, and ads, and merch sales, and internet porn-seriously why does that exist I hate the internet sometimes-

What I’m saying is that it’s showing that even in ads, these writers are getting the characters across really well.

I would say stuff like this makes me optimistic about the series, and… it does. But I’ll still cautiously optimistic.

Indie Animation just has it rough in writing skill in general and there’s multiple examples. That’s just cause writers in major corporations usually have to have several college degrees in the skill to get hired, and indie writers don’t have that burden and can jump right in so they’re often self taught. (But as a self taught writer myself for the most part, this is absolutely not meant to be slander. It’s not a bad thing if you know what you’re doing.)

So, you know, for all we know Digital Circus COULD tank in quality and end up as a trash fire with people complaining and whining forever about how great it ‘used to be’.

I hope that does not happen though and the writers at least are able to tell the story they want to tell effectively.

And so far, it seems like they are. As stuff like this shows that they are taking their time to flesh out the story the way they want to with how long the episodes are coming out, which I personally LIKE, as that means the steak can be fully cooked. And the news that the scripts for the whole series was written before the animations even started IS a good sign, which also means fan demand isn’t gonna plague the script and they’re gonna do what they want, which again, I personally think that’s a GOOD SIGN.

Cautious Optimism on my end. And details like this do emphasize that.

[ben-marco]

loving the legion slander. sorry to be a hater on anon I'm so glad someone's finally calling them out on their shit. just a couple notes I thought I'd leave

- the fact their alpha to omega document has no cited sources iirc and they just... made pretty much all that shit up, knowledge already known to the OEA community aside.

- the "multinational trafficking ring" thing with Israel they seem to have mentioned is directly related to the whole shitty NWO conspiracy pipeline that's able to be seen in bad RAMCOA spaces sometimes. to dumb it down further, the antisemetic idea of "the JOOS are taking over the world!!!!!".

- the fact they co-opt asab terminology, made by intersex people (i don't believe they're intersex but its not my problem to investigate and confirm/deny), into saying "observed sex at birth" (with a plus sometimes? what??). i love how legion just makes up shit and runs with it for real

The whole "Alpha to Omega" document drives me absolutely mad. I read it and it was 50% already known, obvious information and 50% fanfiction that sounded like it was from Fritz Springmeier's secret drafts. And of course...0% citations! Because why would Legion ever cite any source, ever, for anything?

Also yes, the "multinational trafficking ring" shit is 100% antisemitic propaganda. Literally just recycled from the trash that Ozian, Springmeier, and Svali have been regurgitating for decades. And, you know, a ton of far-right conspiracy theorists who peddle the same stuff. I was floored when Legion dropped that one.

I think they've recently (as in, within the past 12 months) claimed to be intersex as a result of PCOS but they never claimed this when I knew them and it seems to be one of those identity labels they've just started claiming like the "level 4" ME/CFS and level 2 autism and whatever else. When I knew them, they were perisex nonbinary transmasc, ablebodied, and neurotypical.

Gurl, Variable Barricade was literally the first otome game I played.

I'll give you a quick run down, our MC Hibari is an independent girlboss who's just awful at romance. She's from a powerful family so she expects an arranged marriage but her grandfather was like 'LMAO, no. You have to choose from these 4 trash men instead and your gonna live with them for a while'.

So for our 4 love interests are as follow, marriage fraud who is Ichiya Mitsumori who is also the ultimate male wife, the gold digger which is Shion Mayuzumi (material girl), submissive and bully-able Nayuta Yagami and finally gambling addict Taiga Isuguri (personal fav)

The game is very much a sort of rom com, our lovely Hibari has to pick one of them to be her husband which is hard when everyone seems like they would be a dead beat spouse. It's dangerously hilarious, like girl I was laughing every 10 mins

Also to me Taiga is definitely Whitney, hands down no arguments. Shion could be Robin since ya know, Robin doesn't do jack shit and is only there for eye candy, Nayuta is Kylar mostly because he would just straight up do anything Hibari says to the degree that if she said she wanted him to be her dog he would woolf, Ichiya is... I can't really see him as Sydney, well atleast corrupt Sydney, idk he wouldn't fit

Anyways play Variable Barricade

i feel like literally only one character suits one of the LIs in DoL and its just Whitney BAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA

Shion is too pretty to be Robin (no offense Robin) but then again, I did a lil digging (cuz blonde boys makes me drop my pants) and wowie this mf doesnt do anything other than loiter, hes just like me frfr- and Robin also doesnt do anything other than loiter (sorry for Robin slander, ily Robin)

Nayuta's dog traits and obeying yada yada does seem to fit Kylar's but this guy is too happy, he reminds me of someone that I can't pinpoint HMMM,,, you think if i color his hair black, he'd look more like a happy version of Kylar,,,

and the one who doesn't fit anyone is Sydney BAHAHHAHA, I read a lil abt Ichiya and they literally have nothing in common, rip Sydney

anws its actually kinda funny, back then i always look away from bad boys until recently with Whitney cough, TAIGA LIKES BRITISH ROCK BAHAHAHAHA ISNT THIS JUST WHITNEY FR, i wonder if he sounds like floyd from twst since hes voiced by nobuhiko okamoto or is using more of his bakugo voice instead (i really love nobuhiko okamoto sm)

honestly would love to play this game to immerse myself in romancing a Whitney look-a-like but....

no money

no nintendo switch

im poor sobs

goodbye japanese whitney voiced by nobuhiko okamoto

maybe one day in the future...

tw: extreme indecisiveness, inner monologue, absence of self worth and extreme overthinking.

11:45 am on a saturday morning, i just woke up and the first thing i did was check the views of my instagram story. over 200 people but none of the is him. why? i have no idea. he used to view all my stories instantly, once upon a time. i sometimes even found that creepy but oh well, here we are. sometimes i wonder if he even knows who am i.... like yk my name, or even my face? you'd think he does, the way he and his friends ALWAYS sit next to you and your friends during lunch and dinner even when the entire mess is empty. coincidence, i suppose? i mean, i do tend to over think a lot. like A LOT. maybe it's just a bunch of coincidences lining up on each other and me being the delulu bitch that i am, connect them all together like a stupid puzzle? cuz the last time i checked, he's so high all time, he can't even spell his own name right sometimes, let alone, remember mine. GOD what's wrong with me. i deserve someone so much better. atp, there's no point in even pretending he's into me, cuz he's just not. it's common knowledge. however my brain isn't ready to accept that. it need something to fixate on. Someone. plenty fish in the sea, i suppose? lmao. one of the downsides of going to a fashion college are that there are very limited men (if you can even call them that) here and as sexist as it sounds, it's quite true. and unfortunately that means, less options for us women, who get played again and again by drug addicts or andrew tate followers. GOD, we deserve so much better. how to these gorgeous gorgeous creations of God called women fall for the same trash in different font again and again? (don't get me wrong, not trying to slander men, just the trash that they've turned into in my college.) funny coming from me for i am no exception.

i didn't even like to guy to begin with. he was the one who used to smile at me across the corridors, or ViEw mY sToRiEs within minutes of posting it. or like literally be everywhere i go. HE FUCKING CAME INTO MY DREAM!!! this sounds so stupid even as i type it. am i that desperate? if you're reading this, you're probably think he's at least pretty for me to act like this. but i am a 101% sure you're gonna go "behen wo gunja hai-" the moment i show you a picture of him. but in my defence, he's 6'1. SIX FEET ONE- nvm. can't defend myself with this one. you have all the right to slander me for this one it's that embarrassing. like yes, he has a sharp symmetrical face, but BRO KEEPS SHAVING HIS HAIR OFF, yes he's 6'1 but HE'S A DRUG ADDICT, he has a good fashion sense and a good humour, HE'S A FUCKING DRUG ADDICT FOR FUCKS SAKE HAVE SOME SELF RESPECT MILLI FFS- i need a better fixation to keep myself occupied in my free time, any and all suggestions are welcomed. fictional, obviously. or celebrities would be just fine. and yeah. i'm gonna go have lunch. see ya later, hope you still love me after reading this lmao it's so embarassing i'm gonna go byee

[silvermuffins]

I think one of my favorite things about pokemon is that every single one of them is SOMEONE'S favorite. Like yeah everyone loves legendaries, and everyone loves the powerful ones like Dragonite, or the hyped up powerhouses like Lucario or Gardevoir or Mimikyu, and there's oodles of love for funky little guys like Falinks, and incredible popularity for the photogenic ones like Snom. There's the weirder picks, like Tropius is absolutely stunning, and Dragalge is living its best life. There's runner-ups, like Dunsparce who I think got a Fandom specifically for just sitting there in the pokedex, being weird? Or Vanilluxe, who got so much hate on release but I think has a lot of defenders now specifically due to having so much hateon release.

But then there's just, the random-ass creachers most people forget about. Like, you know there's someone out there who loves Stantler with all their heart and was completely over the moon about Wyedeer. Every pokemon is Somebody's favorite, their special little guy, their best friend. And that love is always valid and that's delightful.

[mooifyourecows]

This guy speaks to me on a deep personal level

[mnoxsk]

“Love Me IRL” Idia x Male!Reader Headcannons Pt1

Summary: How you meet, what he does when he’s in love/has a crush on you, what happens when you reciprocate.

Genre: Fluff

-This man rarely goes out so It’s almost impossible to meet him face-to-face. You would most definitely meet him in-game. Bro also probably has a goofy name like “Hade’s Left Hand”, “Walmart Version of Hades”, or a cringe name like “tHe GrIm ReApEr” lol. During one of his boss raids he would immediately be caught glaring at your ass because of how cool he thought your avatar was (AND BRO WAS HE EMBARRASSED). During the boss fight though only 25% of the people still alive and all the healers were dead AND BRO WAS TRYING TO HOLD ONTO DEAR LIFE. As a fatal attack almost hit him you blocked the hit and took the sacrifice, letting your character die. After the boss fight he would thank you for helping him live for a split second and apologize for losing some of your stuff when dying, wanting to at least give in return. You do take up that offer however wanted to become friends with him and he, without a single thought about it, accepted it (like bro is very picky choosy of his friends so for you to get in that friends list is like seeing a unicorn).

-When he started realizing that he has a crush on you was during a 24-hour quest where both of you had to stay online that long to get a ‘special prize’  that was told around the game and wanted to test it. Majority of the time you both went on hidden missions and fought low leveled bosses for the newbies. However during the last couple minutes you both talked more seriously about your lives. 

“I bet you’re real cool irl man. Like every time I can’t help but be amazed of how cool you are!” You announced to him in voice chat. “I’ll be honest with you man, I’m not that amazing you think I am. I can barely go outside without thinking that people will judge me.” “Is that so..? Hmm, well if we meet and hangout a lot will that change?” As you ask that he chuckles before answering. “Haha, maybe.” -Mission is complete- -Here is your reward- “Oh sweet man! Lets see what we got!” As you both check your inventories he realizes that there’s a certain ‘title’ they unlocked but before he can fully inspect it he looks to see you equipped it. -Name: Y/N- -Title: Just Married-  “Like my title man? ;).” Idia freezes before his hair turns pink. “UNEQUIP THAT SH*T RIGHT NOW!” “NO WAY HAHAA!” 

-Bro ran after you in-game for an hour before giving up and honestly after looking at it a couple times more, he honestly likes the idea of you being his husband. After that expect his hair to be a light pink when playing with you and “jokingly” flirting with you. He also eventually equips the title aswell and whoever slanders it will be killed. Not only that but he’ll share his “trash items” when they’re literally the best in game.

-Once he realizes it he’ll pamper you’re ass so much. Need help with commissions? Already did them. Some guy is beating you up? Who are they because they ‘bouta get their ass whooped. He also likes flirt joking with you often and (consentually) grabbing yo male ass for fun when he’s literally head over heels for you BUT WON’T CONFESS (LIKE PLEASE DO IT FOR HIM MAN). Also every time you play with him he’ll have light pink hair and a big goofy smile to chase it. LIKE HE JUST LOVES YOU. 

-If you confess to him in game or chat he will actually stop playing games for the whole day, just thinking about it in his mind while he screams as of why he left you like that. Not only that but he’ll finally take that bath he hasn’t taken ever since he fell in love and waited for your ass to get on to play with him. If he confesses it will probably be in a nature-like area where it sets that romantic mood and is away from people. AND I SWEAR IF YOU TAKE TOO LONG TO ANSWER HIM HE WILL JUST LEAVE THE GAME FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE UNLESS YOU KNOW HIM IRL. :)

-After you reciprocate his hair will just be a whole ass rosy pink with the stupidest yet cutest smile every single time he thinks about you. LIKE HE’S SO IN LOVE WITH YOU MAN. 

Also I would write more but that’s for part 2 SO HA HA >:)

Ok, but it's basically canon in Trash Of The Count's Family that by the second time a character travels with Cale they are willing to murder anyone for him for absolutely any reason. This includes any children that come into contact with him as well.

Like, I'm pretty sure everyone who's read the manhwa and novel remembers a time where each character is just horrified by the number of death threats sent to enemies for insulting or hurting Cale, or just them threatening Cale when he doesn't take care of himself, only for that person to end up doing the same thing the next time they meet up with him.

  Remember back when Roselyn seemed to be calm and sane? Yeah nah, she was ready to fight the God Of Death and win after hearing that Cale was supposed to died. Everytime she hears Cale say something even remotely negative about himself they literally describe the air in the room becoming cold and vicious just as they start talking about Roselyn’s reaction. It always seems to be before her reaction is actually described as well. She gives me such big sister vibes when it comes to Cale though. I love her.

Remember when Mary just wanted to go with Cale and his group to see what the world was like outside the City of Death? Yeah, well now she is probably trying to figure out how to control people who are alive with their bones after they tried to Cale mess with him. She may be the closest to Raon and Choi Han out of everyone, but damn, it’s amazing seeing how she just goes from a quiet person into creating bone swords and using dark mana to destroy anyone who poses a threat to Cale.

Remember Eruhaben, when he just wanted to kick Cale and his gang out of his lair so he could train Raon and help him become more dragon-like? Welp, guess who Eruhaben declared as his kid in the middle of a fight with fucking White Star himself when Cale was in danger. Guess who is trying to convince Cale to learn at least a small amount of self-defence...

"Oh, well Alberu seems to hate Cale in the manhwa, so there's no way that Alberu is insanely protective of Cale like everyone else seems to be, right?"

 NOPE, guess who decided to start showing up to places Cale’s at, in his true form, just to mess with Cale and call him little brother/dongsaeng in front of his friends and allies. He literally goes out to dangerous areas and battlefields to do it. 

Guess who decided to make Cale his sworn brother so that he wouldn't have to worry about the kingdom's nobles trying to slander him.

Guess who the first person to actually realise that Cale wasn't joking about being a slacker was? YEP, it was Alberu, but it was very close to the time where Choi Han realised it properly as well. 

He also seems like he may be doing the best job out of everyone at reminding Cale to look after himself. Every. Time. He. Ends. A. Call. With. Cale. He. Tells. Him. To. Look. After. Himself. 

The only thing that is different when it comes to Alberu is that people are trying to threaten him as well because they are worried that Cale is to dense and innocent to see that Alberu may be trying to use him (Just look at how Basen and the nobles felt when it was announced that the two of them became sworn brothers. Calling Cale innocent. It made me giggle + when Deruth and Violan where willing to disobey Alberu’s direct orders if they found any evidence of Cale being forced to go to the Whipper Kingdom). The funniest thing is that while Alberu does use Cale for his own benefit, especially in their first few interactions, Alberu is also being used by Cale and is completely aware of it. He just lets his cute dongsaeng run rampant because he knows that he will do as he asked and exceed his expectations every time. They both care for each other and it's just hilarious to see others misinterpret it.

I think Raon and Choi Han may be the only ones who are actually able to understand the relationship between the two of them, though Raon often has difficulty trying to figure out what's going on, even if he is great and mighty 

You remember when Choi Han was thinking of ways to kill Cale in case he was trying to trick him during their initial meeting? welp, within a few weeks of knowing each other, especially after the carriage Cale was in was targeted by bandits, we are just able to see how ruthless Choi Han became when it came to Cale’s safety, even being a bit worried about how Cale would feel about “the first real threat against his life”. Plus it was absolutely adorable seeing the way that Choi Han would seek out Cale whenever anything happened, no matter if it was something small like something confusing him, or when Lock went berserk for the first time. The guy was prepared to commit mass genocide against anyone Cale asked by the time that the attack on plaza happened. That’s not even mentioning that Choi Han will throw down with anyone who even seems remotely like a threat towards Cale, such as Toonka and Clopeh. Plus with the way that Choi Han witnessed what Kim Rok Soo was like with Choi Jung Soo, oh boy, enemies better start running...

Then you have Cale himself, who will do whatever it takes to at least hit an enemy once as a way to get revenge for his children. Doesn't matter what that person did to the kids, they upset them so now Cale has to destroy everything that person loves. He also at least tries to help his people, which I just find hilarious.

what have we learned today? Cale brings out the best in people :)

is it in anyway important, hell no, but it’s pretty funny

thinkin about cross-game danganronpa friendships...

cw violence, teruteru slander, cursing, he/him prns for chihiro.

tenko vowing to protect mikan with her absolute life when she sees how vulnerable and taken advantage of she is. mashing teruteru into the concrete if he ever even tries to come onto her. mikan feeling safe and protected for the first time in her life.

himiko and gundham swapping secrets about the occult, comparing hexes and spells. gundham deeming her worthy of handling the power of the four dark devas of destruction. sonia watching on in absolute awe.

nekomaru and sakura engaging in friendly combat. nekomaru assuring her that the fact that she's built like an absolute weapon does not compromise her femininity, training together to become stronger.

kyoko assuring shuichi of his skills as a detective, offering her own tips and deductions. proud big sister moment when he solves a case quicker than her for the first time. she's so proud to have him as the new ultimate detective, and he's so overwhelmed with gratitude to her as a mentor.

fuyuhiko not being physically capable of being mean to gonta. lies to himself that he's just keeping him around as a disposable henchman but would literally decapitate someone if they spoke bad about him. "he's an idiot but he's my fuckin' idiot, got that?!" kinda vibe.

sonia being able to listen to korekiyo talk for hours upon hours about anthropology. she's so invested in cultures from all around the world after being confined to novoselic all her life, and korekiyo is pleased beyond words to finally find someone who shares his passion.

kirumi and kiyotaka being the mom and dad friends of the group. "you're the only bitch in this house i trust" kinda thing. they gotta work together to discipline the gremlins.

everyone realising how sick it is that chihiro successfully stopped an execution all by himself. kokichi being so impressed that he takes him on as an 'evil acolyte' but secretly just loves having him around.

ibuki encouraging leon's passion for music, making him playlists of a ton of different genres, assuring him there's no one way to make music!! even offers to teach him a thing or two on the guitar.

miu and kazuichi absolutely tearing into each other. miu calling his work trash and kazuichi insisting that her inventions are complete junk. they respect the absolute hell out of each other and will throw hands if anybody but them insults the other.

if you have any crossgame headcanons feel free to send them in omg i can't get enough!!

Just adding to the larries liking taylor swift, i think one of th reason is that most of the larries are part of of the lgbtq community. And in our community, Taylor is very loved. She's a gay icon. It's easy to just brush away the shits that happened with haylor since it's in the past. Also these larries thinks it's a double sided bearding. There is this theory about how TS was dating Diana at the time of haylor. I believe Diana also sometimes thirdwheel to haylor's dates. That Out Of The Woods is about when their stunt is ending or smthng. OR this larries could be just newbies that already like Taylor Swift and couldn't careless about Haylor since the y didn't get to experience how horrible that time was.

For me, I think I just tolerate her. Some of her songs are good. But I am still annoyed at the annoying songs she wrote about haylor. 🤢 Can't escape it tho, since two of my sisters are swifties.

Hey anon I do know about those rumors I personally don't feel the same on the matter of her being 🏳️‍🌈 tho I don't know much about her music past the "h**lor songs" to truly say. But for argument sake let's say she is isn't that worse when it comes to this topic? She would know what it is like to be a closeted celeb and yet she still used a fellow closeted celeb to make herself look like a victim and them the "toxic ex womanizer who treats women like trash." She did something that further put H in the closet and madw people think he's straight.

People may say oh it was all her team like sure her team may have initially decided for her to get involved in a fake relationship with H but all the slandering of H from her at one point that's on her. If her team did tell her to say all those things and it wasn't her personal choice to drag H then give her a fuckin oscar bc she did a damn good job playing the role of I'm a victim of a shitty ex and here is why.

So I [along with anonymous mutuals] believe whether she is or isn't 🏳️‍🌈 she still dragged H through the mud with almost all of 2013 promo/award season being her dragging "her ex" aka H and we just can't get ourselves to be ok with that. And during the time period of h**lor's relationship L&H were fuckin miserable every day.

Of course here we are 10 years later and he is STILL being asked about her and whether his songs are for her and to no suprise he fuckin hates it. She unintentional or not caused them a lot of trauma and was the reason H womanizer image sky rocketed in 2013. So it will never make sense to me how someone can claim to love L&H proudly "being a larrie" while idolizing her.

I do think like you said most of those who love her are newbies who just weren't around in 2012/13 time period to know what happened bc if they had been they would know how much it fucked them up. And don't even get me started on how most of these stans think their ✨️ besties ✨️ with her.

This interview from 2012 will always be a huge deal to me in understanding how they felt about the situation and her. When Lou was asked what his thoughts are of H&T relationship Lou makes it clear not only are they not dating but their not even friends. This was literally Lou reaction/body language throughout the whole 3 month ordeal.

Lastly L&H celebrated when it ended. They clearly don't care for her, want her to stop being brought up and to move on from her but some of their own fans sit here and try to paint them as friends.

Stop it! Stop it right now! I will not tolerate warrior cats slander in my dashboard. Fireheart can get it

Slander is, from me, a compliment, because it means a book left enough of a profound impression on me for me to be still bitching about it nearly a decade later.

And I don’t really even have it in my heart to slander Warriors; everything I say about them comes of a deep, deep bitterness at how unreadable they are as an adult when they were such a cultural MOMENT, a powerful, impression-forming phenomenon that is unlikely to ever recur again in my lifetime.

These books sucked, they just sucked so much, and I wish they didn’t and I wish it so much. Because they happened upon—perhaps by sheer accident—a few concepts, a few brilliant strokes of execution of those concepts—that were just so captivating, and for that reason the trash fire of all the rest of it will smolder forever in this bitter old heart.

Okay. So like. Do you have any idea how goddamn hard it was, in the early 2000’s, to find cat-centered media to enjoy? Cat hate was such a huge cultural Thing, to an extent that is unimaginable now. It was damn near impossible to find a piece of media—mind you, I was an autistic child with a special interest in cats—that didn’t portray cats as evil, assholes, a literal stereotype of what cats are like in the form of a single token character, or straight up kill or injure cats for comedy.

Also, animal media...in general, it was cutesy. Cutesy in a way that did not appeal to me at all. (There were exceptions, like the devastatingly fucked up Tale of Despereaux, which upset me so much as a young child that I still have yet to actually read the whole thing.)

Warriors was a game changer. Not only because it was about cats, but because it was so DEAD fucking serious in everything it did, so unflinchingly mature, un-cutesy, edgy and unironic. As flawed as these books were they annihilated the basic tests of a good children’s book in that they took their audience SO seriously.

Like honestly, these characters were adults. They lived in an adult world, with adult concerns and adult conflicts, and the story as told did not put this in a perceptibly “child-friendly” lens. The conflicts centered around grief, parenthood, forbidden love, murder, war, leadership, and scandal. There were assassinations, there were illicit pregnancies, there were war crimes, there were suicides and stillbirths and mercy killings, and we could handle it, and it never occurred to us that we couldn’t, and for some fucking reason the adults who were buying the books or checking them out at the library for us never questioned it because they were cats.

And Warriors never pulled any punches with showing the absolute brutality of surviving as a warrior cat. Like if you read a significant distance into this series several character deaths are definitely still branded forever into your brain. (If you read Bluestar’s Prophecy, I’m so sorry.)

The naming system slapped. The nine lives ceremony slapped. Yellowfang is still the best character in anything ever and I love that rotted teethed old bitch so. Even if you didn’t even KNOW the word fuck, you knew that this cat could say “fuck.” But there is just...so much. That just sucks. The Erins really optimized quantity over quality when writing and instead of focusing on a few solid plots and characters, they wrote a bloated, sprawling series that could do nothing but collapse under its own weight as it recycled conflicts and character archetypes after burning the fuses out on the initial ones way, way too fast.

And here’s the thing: This will never happen again in children’s lit as we know it because it’s not the early 2000’s anymore and age categories for YA, MG and the like are so codified, and parents actually google what is in books their kids read, or at least publishers prepare for the circumstance that they might, and publishers actually have an idea of what sells in kidlit and YA instead of throwing playdough at a wall. Animal books still exist, but not in quite the same way. The Thing that Warriors was for us depended on the fact that we totally Shouldn’t have been reading it but we knew our parents wouldn’t dig too deep because they were about cats.

There is much more of an idea of what kids ought to be and ought not to be exposed to in general, and at what ages, now, and books are crafted to slip into these categories much more cleanly. (I have opinions about this because even though I was a sensitive kid, I internalized the idea that reading the “wrong” thing would do some unspecified Harm to me way too much and it became an Obsession like the O in OCD, but we don’t have time to unpack all those.)

And it’s sure as hell not going to happen in YA or adult lit. Do you know what garbage that would be? They would have to figure out what to do with the fact that the cats are having sex, for one, and there’s no good way to do that except let your readers, who are 12, Know(tm) that they are having sex but not say it. They would also have to figure out how to convince adult readers that a murder cat series is not silly, and the Erins had the right idea, perhaps the only right idea, by seemingly not even realizing in the first place that it might be considered silly. No one, no one, no one has that much hubris and sheer unawareness of one’s anything to write Warriors for an adult audience and be completely, unflinchingly unironic. They would flinch. Of course they would.

And yet. I keep toying with the idea of writing something similar. But I don’t WANT something similar, I want Warriors and I want it to be GOOD.
