To also go off of the point about cop!akihiko being annoying to me I gotta say that Akihiko as a character is very hit or miss with me because of how different adaptations of p3 will subtly alter his character. I felt like in portable with the femc route he comes off best, he’s a bit of a hothead with an obsession with fighting, but he’s overcompensating his strength so he doesn’t feel as weak and helpless as he’s been in many situations. He defines strength in a very literal sense, being physically strong and using that to protect others, but he’s lacking in emotional strength as a result. And in particular in this version I think he’s portrayed as a bit more goofy and sweet in a sense. He cares deeply for you as a friend and leader but he struggles with finding the words to describe how he feels. Hes kinda naive and gullible and has trouble noticing his surroundings. He has no clue what he’s doing but his heart is in the right place. I think he just comes off much more human and he has flaws, many many flaws, and that makes him all the more lovable

But then in other adaptations and spinoffs it’s like. They look at him through some hetero male bullshit filter and seem to view him as a lot more admirable and cool. Like in p3 dancing, theres literally an event where he’s talking with Junpei and Minato and they’re gushing about how perfect Akihiko is and how he doesn’t seem to have ANY flaws at all. And it becomes clear his inability to flirt with women just gets added as a way to make sure you, the Straight Male Player, don’t get insecure being next to such Perfection because at the end of the day, you’re still more charming and sexy than he will ever be because you’re better. It’s a “flaw” that’s only there to shield a sensitive male ego. And then in arena I mean, come on. He’s overly beefy and is a damn cop and travels the world and loves Protein™️ it’s his whole personality and he’s so clearly meant to be seen as hot but like, he’s just some shitty hetero male fantasy. Hes what the writers deem to be a Perfect Man that every guy wishes he could be, but don’t worry he’s still bad with women so you don’t gotta worry about him stealing your property- I mean, girlfriend!

And though I’ve not played reload and don’t really plan to anytime soon, judging from his social episodes they seem to have a similar problem. Akihiko comes off as a lot less approachable, like the year age gap is just too much of a barrier to get to know him properly. And he doesn’t have that dorky sweetness he has in portable, he’s just that perfect hetero male fantasy guy and don’t you fucking worry- he still has his protein powder with him

So is no one gonna write a fic where Tighnari's dad comes back from the desert bearing gifts for his son and his family, but said family (Cyno and Collei) didn't know they were known as his husband and daughter respectively? Cyno plays into it to watch Tighnari suffer, and Collei is just :) ? The whole time.

No? I guess I'll have to try and write it myself...

just complained about my group to my irls and i'm pretty sure this has genuinely motivated me to speak in class because i Cannot let my prof think my critical thinking abilities are the same as theirs

[justanotherfanartist]

i got the kind of autism where I make theme songs and leitmotifs for my characters that I haven’t written anything about but have a complete fuzzy image of in my head

[witchcraftingboop]

I thought I was the only one who dislikes my older sister's not-yet-fiancè-boyfriend and I feel so vindicated and less crazy now that my younger sister and I had a lil moment of "👀 do you?" "👀I mean I think I do but do you??" and finally said aloud that we get the same sketchy ass hater vibes from this childish dude. I fr thought I was just a lil manhater (I am) with unjustified resentment towards this man, but I was right! Either I'm right or we're both wrong but atp I'm okay with both options

[worlds-worst-dad-competition]

The existence of this Rosaline movie makes me so MAD, because SHE WAS NEVER IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH ROMEO. SHE TOOK A VOW OF CHASTITY, AND SAID THAT SHE WAS JUST GONNA NOT BE IN LOVE.

SHE. REJECTED. HIM.

SHE WAS NEVER INTERESTED IN BEING WITH HIM AT ALL.

And then they just...make a whole movie from her supposed perspective (which is loosely based on a book which...hoo boy we’ll get to that in a second), where the premise is that she’s jealous and wants to break him and Juliet up? That she’s so in love that she has to win him over again? (Also, how do they justify her knowing that they’re together? The entire point is that no one knows Romeo and Juliet are in love?? I know this is an adaptation, but Jesus Christ.)

WHY DID YOU PICK THIS CHARACTER. TO HAVE THIS STORY WITH. THE WHOLE POINT OF HER CHARACTER IS THAT SHE CHOOSES NOT TO BE WITH HIM. THAT’S WHAT OPENS THE DOOR TO HIM MEETING JULIET. IF ROSALINE IS DEEPLY INTO ROMEO, THE ENTIRE PLAY DOESN’T WORK.

Are we saying that she was just “““playing hard to get”””? That she was toying with his heart for fun? That when she told him no, she really meant “yes”?? I THOUGHT WE LEFT THAT BEHIND OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST DECADE, I THOUGHT WE DECIDED THAT WAS BAD???!!?

Don’t even get me started on the book this is based on, where that general premise is that Rosaline is just an Innocent Average Girl, and her cousin who is Beautiful™ and vOLaTiLeLY uNsTAbLe and cRaZy comes and “takes” her poor unsuspecting boyfriend who is completely blameless for his own terrible behavior away from her while being called a “slut” the whole time. (I doubt much of this carried over into the actual movie, because that’s being billed as an ironic rom-com, and I highly doubt ANYONE would try to make that genre work while keeping this premise 100% intact.)

WHY WOULD YOU EXPAND THIS CHARACTER LIKE THIS. WHY. WE STUDY THIS PLAY IN SCHOOL AS AN EXAMPLE OF LITERARY STRUCTURE AND POETIC LANGUAGE AND FORESHADOWING AND HOW TO WRITE A TRAGIC NARRATIVE AND FOR WHAT. FOR PEOPLE TO NOT TAKE AWAY ANY OF THE INTENDED MEANING FROM THIS PLAY???!?!?!? I AM SCREAMING SO HARD I WILL BREAK THE EARTH’S CRUST UNTIL I AM SUBSUMED INTO HELL.

If you’re going to adapt something, you’ve gotta make it clear that you have some significant understanding of the original work. Retellings are fine! They can even have different functions or deconstruct tropes or be unexpectedly edgy! But it’s 1000% obvious when you don’t have any knowledge or engagement with the source material, and that is a problem. It’s ignorant, it’s lazy, and everyone involved deserves better.

IT'S MY TURN TO SEND YA A SAPPY ASK <3 <3

We're melting you on discord, but we gotta make sure your ask box isn't neglected!! (says the man who has sent you an ungodly unhinged amount of asks)

Your writing? Immaculate. Your art? spectacular. You? THE BEST!

Holy shit I cannot imagine a day without finding your blog, your art fuels so much creative energy and AU completes my day. I have said it once and I will say it again, since you made the first AU post I have non-stop been thinking about it. Your ideas, your story, your plots, your comic planning, it's all so good! All of it just drags you into the world you've created and I have fallen absolutely in love with it all.

Legit AU is my fav DCA AU! I never made fanart for the DCA before AU came around, and I never posted my writing online for ANYONE ONLINE before! But your amazing content inspired me to do so! Not to mention you're the best to interact with, the positive feedback cycle is immense. You're so friendly and kind!

Everyday I am so stunned and shocked I get to interact with you, you're so amazing! ;w; <3 !!! Okay, I'm done being sappy now.

HAVE A GOOD DAY AND I AM SENDING YOU ALL THE GOOD VIBES!! YOU DESERVE THEM!

I'm going to answer this first because it's almost your bedtime and I need you to know that every time I read this I just tear up again and again and if things continue my transformation into a puddle will be complete by sundown fghdjsk

I can't even. oh my god I'm trying to answer specifically but I'm just starting to leak and make blubbering noises and that's not quite elaborate, so I need to answer from memory or I'm never getting anywhere!

It's so incredibly flattering and validating to hear all this - especially how much I inspired you, that's just. God that's just so so amazing to hear and I swear I'm normal about it (<- tears streaming down face because I am in fact that kind of goober)!

@naffeclipse is my "role model" in the sense that I just. I saw it's an option to just gush about fanworks and of course I jumped at the chance! It's so much fun interacting with everyone, and I just try to be the kind of person I'd like to interact with (which again, Naff very much influenced - the positive feedback cycle from the CS fanart was what gave me enough confidence to start my AU in the first place!)

(Not saying other creators don't do this - CS just happened to grab my brain like a squeaky toy, and that's how things aligned for my own experience!)

I'm really just a li'l dude who's very easily excited and enjoy talking to people and sharing ideas, and this is the first time I've gotten this much of a response to what I create, so I don't know if or when I'll get used to it. Guess I'll just melt a little more at your convenience!

Now, hope you're getting sleepy, because I'm gonna get to the intimidation asks and then it's sequel time now that I'm home again! <3

[furry-homestar]

okay we get it! i called strong bad a twink that was stupid haha! you! you guys can stop now i'm crying

[milo-is-rambling]

Ignoring my emotions and going to try to sleep. If that doesn’t work I will write poetry about my shitty fucking feelings and then try to go to sleep. If that doesn’t work I’ll take my sleepy time cough meds and try to sleep if that doesn’t work I will simply be miserable until morning
