You know what, I'm gonna come out and say it. I know it probably happens in the show eventually but I just wanna see Sho and Judai have a fight. Like a massive friend falling out. Like a screaming crying fisticuffs falling out. I'm so fascinated by the progression of their relationship from being genuinely best friends to a one-sided mess of a codependence. This show and all the messy friendships in this show are so good.
Honestly I wanna study Sho and Judai under a microscope at how catastrophically bad friends they both are to each other at different points in the show. Yes they are GOOD friends a lot of the time but there are some moments you just go aw man what the HELL (and that goes for JUDAI too because Judai and Sho mistreat each other EQUALLY)
Obsessed with GX's main friend circle being a fucking mess and how people move in and out of it like irl friend circles
#like i think reasonably Sho and Judai COULD fix their friendship and they probably do#(context im in early season 3)#but i do think one of these two fuckheads needs to throw the first punch#the way ygo gx (and dm) portrays teenage friendships is so real#i love this franchise#kraken rambles#GET THESE CHARACTERS OUT THIS SHOUNEN!!!#THEY BELONG IN SEINEN!!!!#NOOOOOO!!!

Mew today's not-- I don't care, I chose to brainstorm these designs because it sounded like a fun idea. I was going for something like a "group cosplay" (and Tokyo Mew Mew) so each Mega also has an associated animal.
Volnutt is a monkey because Data (duh), Hub is a cat because it was literally given to him thanks to the anime, Geo and Omega-Xis are rabbits because the spikes on Geo's visor give me that image, then X and Rock are both dogs (albeit Rock is a puppy) because uhh... Rock has Rush and honestly for X I just thought about Sigma and his dog--
Also there's lots of doodles of Volnutt because this was absolutely his idea somehow.
#wait mew how why#okay so you know how roll supposedly (in ENG) named rock after her “favorite video game character”?#I thought maybe she'd also like to watch anime too and the two just watch them together sometimes#whether they're shounen or shoujo I don't think it matters too much but volnutt would enjoy them nonetheless#such is my depiction of him at least#also sorry mega doesn't get a dress so that's something like a half-apron with a bow to tie it around his upper-body ^^;#oh yeah and hub's wearing his dress over his navi form because I tried to reduce the cases of “double-ears” as I could#but it's still cute though no? (he does look more snuggy)#A N D he was finally able to do that pose with geo without poking his eye out (yay :D )#doodle-daas#rock volnutt#data#megaman exe#megaman.exe#rockman exe#hub hikari#saito hikari#geo stelar#subaru hoshikawa#omega-xis#warrock#megaman x#rockman x#megaman#rockman#(I got lazy at the end and didn't bother to design/decide x's shoes sorry)

Since I was going through the Super Digest Books whilst looking for popularity poll results anyway, here's a couple more highlights
Q85: When are detective Takagi and Miwako Satou going to get married? A: I wonder (laughs). If they married one of them would have to leave the force, though (laughs) >>Super Digest Book 90+
Q23: When Sato will be married, will she retire from the police force? Or will she get transferred to another police division? A: But she likes to be a policewoman… >>Super Digest Book 40+
Q97: When detective Takagi and detective Sato will get married, which of them will be in charge of cooking? A: Well of course, that’ll be Takagi (laughs) >>RECIPE PLUS Super Digest Book
malewife takagi real and confirmed
also, a lot of the time, Gosho avoids giving any of the ongoing "mysteries" away, so like..
Q62: Are Sera-san and Haibara cousins? A: Stop asking in a roundabout way, I'm not going to get tricked! (laughs)
Gosho: no spoilers!!! Gosho, 30 seconds later:
Q87: While solving all the problems in Conan, will the mystery on Kaito's father getting killed get solved in the mean time as well? A: They won't be solved at the same time! Moreover, he didn't get killed!
both from the Super Digest Book 80+, released in April 2015.. I'm not that knowledgeble of the MK series but I'm pretty sure this wasn't revealed at any point before this,, what was he even thinking lmao
there's a forum post from the DCTP forums where the translation was posted and people were talking about how much they hate this, if anyone's interested in reading the reactions. seeing people speculate about things is pretty fun too. Super Digest Book 80+ Translations
#dcmk#detective conan#i'm gonna rant a bit apologies beforehand#the sd books can get pretty annoying to read tbh#gosho answers a lot of q's with 'idk' or 'i guess so!' or 'maybe..' like bro.. idk what shounen sunday's making you do but surely#you can answer better than that or even pick questions you want to answer;;a lot of them aren't even spoiler qs#like one question was 'where did akai and akemi go on dates? tropical land or something?' and his answer was 'idk'#these are your characters buddy!! you can make it up!! you can even agree and say tropical land! no one will argue with you about it!!#there are multiple qs about how long the series would go on for and he says 'there's space for over 100 volumes'#then act like it!!#flesh your characters out i'm begging you!!#does it actually have space for 100vols or does it have space for you to bloat up the cast with more characters?#rant over sorry goodbye i'm going to bed

the nsbu table is five DM pets and rekha shankar
#not art#nsbu spoilers#← tag mostly for the following tags lol#regarding the post I Am Colloquializing For Joke Of Course but its just funny to see how#everyone is like so sweet and enthusiastic and playing and frolicking in brennan's sandbox#and rekha is heckling him at any possible venue. everyone else is a camper rekha is his shounen rival#like jacob is bringing his full earnestness into playing the character#and alex constantly reaches to pieces and people in the environment and other players to reveal extremely compelling dynamics#and ify is doing next level engineer shit on the worldbuilding he is straight up gonna get a good grade in isekai#and ally is extremely willing to take any hit to keep the banter flowing and the ease with which they and brennan bounce ideas back and#forth is astounding#and izzy is like. she's Hysterical I fucking love paula so much but there's that moment in the latest ep when jack manhattan shows up#and she Immediately breaks out of paula to do the fucking face and beat perfect jack manhattan and you kinda realize oh she's just#really fucking good at acting and she's beinging it 110% to the table#man. nsbu is just good lmao#I call rekha brennan's shounen rival but truly like that person hacking move was awesome she is as invested in the world as everyone else#but that dynamic really got her to shine the way it sets up the shirt throwing bit was straight up a jjba duel#like brennan entertaining her request and letting the whole table forget about the speed of the car before reminding them#by breaking g13's wrist. like beat for beat a shounen fight it's the best#and it heightens when rekha then does something fucking awesome#its good. its just really good. I really enjoy nsbu guys

If the "straight women are much more likely to write a spicy and well-written m|m romance with complex male characters because they're naturally attracted to men" claim is correct, then why do straight male authors have acquired the stereotype of writing one-dimensional female characters and lame romances if they're naturally attracted to the opposite gender? Why do they prefer to focus so extensively on the male characters and their bromances then?
First, I think we need to clarify: Absolutely nowhere did I say the spicy mlm fanfics were uniformly "well-written." 😂 There are beautiful gems among fanfiction that have moved me to tears like nobody's business, but there's also just a whole lot of... not very... philosophically deep works out there. I don't want to sound mean, but just being brutally honest, I'd wager if we considered all fanfiction across all fanfic sites, a pretty solid majority of it wouldn't meet most people's definitions of truly "well-written." (Which is completely fine! Fanfic writers aren't getting paid! They're usually amateur authors who are writing for fun and often include younger writers just learning the ropes of grammar and character building for the first time! A fic doesn't have to be perfect to be enjoyable for readers!)
On top of that, let's also just be real--a lot of the explicit-content-for-explicit-content's-sake fics out there aren't really trying to write the most realistic and three dimensional male characters ever. They're trying to write sexy fics; realistically depicting men with life-accurate emotional depth and nuance is often... not the goal. 😂
Of course there are standout fanfics and incredible fanfiction authors. But, if we're being 100% transparent, I think a solid majority of fanfic authors don't actually write male characters that well. A lot of them have limited development, unrealistic or unclear motivations, out-of-character behavior, or a lack of interiority to their thoughts and feelings. A lot of times male characters in mlm fics are even reduced to caricatures of what women want men to do and feel. (I'm not judging here though--if a woman author is writing for women and her women readers want to see men who meet women's expectations, then hey, give the audience what they crave!) Just like Disney princes, a lot of men in fanfiction would seem very unrealistic and flat if you compared them to actual men from the real world!
I think we fanfic readers are just a bit biased, you know. If you're an average fanfic reader, I'm sure you've had the experience many times of being willing to give fic writers the benefit of the doubt even if their works aren't perfect--far more than you would give an actual published author or TV showrunner.
We don't scrutinize fanworks to the same extent that we scrutinize published media. Most people aren't grabbing someone else's fic and writing a ten page essay on how their male love interest wasn't properly fleshed out. Fanfic is full of poorly written men too, we're just not looking for the writing flaws when we read fanfics, at least not to the extent that meta analysts notice flaws in published media.
Side note that I also think is worth thinking about here: Because most fanfiction readers are female (and statistics suggest that a majority are even cisgender women), I think we're already at a slight disadvantage. Do female readers really have the most accurate perspectives on what realistic and three dimensional men would feel or act like? People are people, of course, but my perspective as a cisgender woman is never going to be as "100% genuine" as the perspective of someone who actually identifies as a man.
Second, and sorry, I know this is already long, but I think it's actually a mistake to buy into the stereotype that a majority of male authors can't write believable and interesting female characters. I think this illusion comes because fanfic fandoms congregate around very specific types of media, and often (though of course not always) that media is geared toward younger audiences. The bulk of the fandom claims that "male authors suck at writing women" come out of the shounen anime and young adult genres which are so prevalent in fandom spaces.
The target audiences for both these types of media are teenagers, who (I'm going to be completely honest) are usually not that picky about the development of the characters in the stories they read. I don't mean that no teenagers care about well-written stories (obviously there are many who do!), but that the typical standard for philosophical depth and nuance to which media for young adults is held is, for better or worse, lower than the standard we hold media for adults to.
We don't expect Twilight to be as deep as Moby-Dick. We don't expect My Hero Academia to be Maus.
This isn't an insult to young adult media; we have different genres of content for different reasons, and I definitely would not have wanted every single manga I read as a teenager to be as mentally or spiritually challenging as Moby-Dick. Content for teenagers should be designed to resonate with teenagers, both intellectually and emotionally. Many works for teens can have excellent writing and punch above their target audience demographic too. But the bulk majority of teenage readers are not (yet) going to be experts in literary criticism and sociocultural theories, capable of pounding out advanced meta analyses of the gender dynamics of characters in their favorite stories. Some will, but most won't.
Stories for young adults just don't have to hold up to that level of scrutiny, at least among their target audience.
At its core, however, the issue with the lower standards for depth of character building in young adult media is that it corresponds with lower standards for becoming popular as an author in fields such as YA lit and shounen manga. You don't have to be Leo Tolstoy or Emily Brontë to gain recognition among younger audiences. Sometimes, you don't even have to be good. Twilight was a roaring success, even while people lambasted it for being poorly written.
You don't have to be a literary giant whose books will be short-listed for addition to the canon of classical literature to develop a massive online fandom; Voltron was insanely popular despite being terribly written. 😂 You don't have to be god's gift to storytellers to become a popular shounen mangaka; Naruto is still one of the most popular manga in history and I hope no one genuinely thinks its characters were masterfully developed.
I'm not saying it doesn't take talent! It absolutely does! What I believe is that there's just not a guaranteed correspondence between "this author is popular and has a huge fandom" and "this author is actually good," especially in genres where the target audience is younger and therefore a little less likely to deeply critique the media they consume. Even if your characters--male or female--aren't that well-written, you can still get very, very popular in internet fandoms, especially with younger and more forgiving audiences, where only the rare few in the fandom will dedicate hours of their lives to performing meta analysis of your work, picking apart the writing quality and development of your characters.
So, long story longer: It's not that male writers overall are incapable of writing women. It's that a lot of fandoms spring up around kind-of-poorly written stories in the first place, and male authors who are not great at writing in general are equally unlikely to be great at writing women.
In fact, I'd suggest that male writers who are poor at writing women are probably also not great at writing men. Like, come on, don't tell me you think Bakugou and Midoriya's writing was good by the end of My Hero Academia.
Many popular authors with big fandoms are just being given more of a pass when it comes to writing poor male characters than they are with their female characters, and I'd argue that's likely because of the same reason I highlighted before: Their fandoms are dominated by women who like men and are willing to do more work to flesh out/fix the male characters they're interested in.
(It also helps that, with an overwhelming number of fic writers being female, they have less insight into truly depicting the male experience in authentic ways in the first place; if you are a woman, you're more likely to recognize a poorly written female character on the spot, while having at least slightly less ability to identify the unrealistic or inaccurate elements of male characters.)
Essentially, it's confirmation bias in action: We think men don't understand women, so we scrutinize male writers' depictions of women very closely, all while giving a pass to the fact that a lot of these writers just kind of suck at writing men too.
The "lame romances" in stories written by men aren't exclusively lame because of flat female characters--if the female character is flat, half the time the male character is flat too, and the romance is lame because the writer overall is... kind of lame... 😂
But why all the bromances? I wrote about this in my big long essay before, and I think there's plenty of very complicated reasons that men write so many male-male friendships and relationships into their story (re: coming from genuinely misogynist cultures, deliberately baiting fans with hints of BL, an actual internalized desire for greater emotional connection with fellow men due to perceived male loneliness, self-projection into their own characters, having been told they aren't good at writing women so they've given up, etc. etc.), but I honestly think one of the simplest reasons is genre. The majority of these "bromances" are coming from shounen manga, and shounen manga has some very common recurring tropes, chief among them being the whole "me and my ~RIVAL~" dynamic.
A lot of mainstream shounen stories have had such enormous success with this "young male protagonist and his best bro/rival/arch-enemy" dynamic that, frankly, I think many modern manga are just piggy-backing on the trope. "Dudes who beat each other up and become besties" has worked for so many series now that it's just become a staple of the entire genre.
I also think the market for Japanese manga in particular is very unique, with male manga artists recognizing--and capitalizing--on the power of the "fujoshi" reader early on. It's easy for shounen manga artists to see the benefits of over-stocking their stories with male characters and queerbait, because hinting at mlm ships they have no intention of ever paying out on 1) rarely reduces their male readership and 2) actually broadens their readership dramatically by deliberately bringing in female readers.
Basically, so long as the endgame is a het ship (or at least no ship), male readers will still read a story even if it has mlm shiptease, while more women will be drawn to the story for the mlm shiptease when they otherwise might not be that interested. There's no way to lose.
In essence, on the topic of queerbait, the shounen manga artists were just really savvy and realized faster that "having your cake and eating it too" is possible by incorporating a higher number of male-male relationships in their stories in order to broaden their readership and sales. Comparatively, western media was just much slower to cotton on to this technique, and I'd say it wasn't until relatively recently that western series have begun hyper-emphasizing male-male relationships specifically to appeal to women readers and viewers (see Supernatural, Good Omens, probably Teen Wolf [I don't actually go there so I can't confirm but I feel like this is true lol], etc.).
And, one final sidenote: I think it's difficult to compare published media to fanfic in terms of "featuring what you're sexually attracted to" because in published media, people are at least supposed to pretend their own sexual preferences aren't entirely warping the story, especially in young adult series (which have the biggest fanfic fandoms). Like... Compare: If you're a shounen manga artist you can get away with some panty shots but you can't be a flat out gooner--conversely, if you're a fanfic writer, you can write hardcore porn without hesitation. If we want to make an actual comparison in how much sex appeal sways character gender ratios in fanfic versus published media, I'd say the only comparable match would be comparing the ratio of female characters in harem anime and straight up hentai to the ratio of men in fanfics. We can't be out here comparing like... the original story content of Harry Potter (made for children, cannot be overly sexual) to its AO3 content (where nearly 40% of all HP fics are labeled explicit/mature). You gotta compare 18+ apples to apples.😂
Phew, sorry, that was a lot.
tl;dr: Tons of factors--yes, including misogyny--affect how men write women, but the issue of male writers being bad at writing women is likely being exaggerated in fandom spaces because 1) Fandoms are overwhelmingly female and women are better able to identify and critique poorly written female characters than anyone else, 2) Most of the biggest fandoms on the internet center around stories for younger audiences who haven't had enough time to develop strong media literacy and literary criticism skills, allowing writers to become popular without necessarily needing to be of highest quality, 3) Female fans are more willing to forgive poorly written male characters because they're more likely to be interested in and attracted to those male characters, and 3) A lot of writers just suck in general; it's not localized to just being shitty at writing women.
#fandom stuff#meta analysis#female characters#writing stuff#gender in media#I genuinely think part of the problem with meta analysis in fandom#despite being a person who regularly engages in it myself#is that we do apply extremely adult concepts like gendered power dynamics#sociocultural theories#intersectionality and more#to stories that frankly weren't written to hold up to that level of scrutiny#every character in a shounen anime looks poorly written#when you look at them through the lens of like...#simone de beauvoir and lacan#a lot of the media that is popular in internet fandoms#was actually written for much younger audiences#and the expectations we have for depth and nuance#are often outside the work's goals and target audience in the first place#I'm not saying authors have a free ticket to suck at writing characters#let alone at writing women#but that we need to avoid the fallacy that popularity = quality#and not enter into an analysis of a text with foreordained conclusions in mind#if you set out to critique a story's female characters#but choose not to equally critique the story's male characters#of course the female characters will look worse#meanwhile the male characters will be flat out garbage lolol#but they'll get the pass because the fandom girlies find them cute

anyways top two tips for finding media with well written female characters! 1) consume media written by women and 2) stop consuming things written for adolescent boys!!!!
#talk tag#‘women just aren’t written well’ says mha pfp GET OUT OF HERE#honestly the second you stop watching shitty anime made for little boys the amount of well written women is overwhelming#sorry you have the media taste of a teenager but the adults are talking#not to be too mean it gets to me sometimes#but honestly even if you exclusively watch shounen anime (why?) it isn’t like there isn’t anything that writes women well#tpn and csm instantly come to mind#both manga that were/are massively popular during their runs in wsj#csm is up and down but the depth with which fujimoto writes female characters still astounds me#asa you are so special to me#but this is to say i still think that people need to make branch out more and maybe start having like#higher expectations for their japanese media#if they want to keep on consuming manga and anime#but seriously at some point i’m just going to assume you’re misogynistic no matter what if you refuse to look at female characters ever#people assume depth for male characters when there isn’t any and call every female character bland

If Momo Hinamori has a million fans, I'm one of them. If Momo Hinamori has 5 fans, I'm one of them. If Momo Hinamori has 1 fan, that one is me. If Momo Hinamori has 0 fans, I'm no longer alive. If the world is against Momo Hinamori I'm against the entire world. Till my last breath, I'll support Momo Hinamori.
#drop#sorry i just found out a lot of bleach fans hate her. i'm going to get you out of there momo.#SHE'S SO INTERESTING!! THE LOVE!! THE BETRAYAL!! THE DENIAL!! THE DESPERATE WANT TO BELIEVE THAT THE PEOPLE WHO HURT YOU AREN'T EVIL!!!#and her scenes are all super impactful. i was on the edge of my seat every time she was on screen#i hope she gets more screentime later on ... hopes aren't high but i like what they're setting up with her arc#(it's just also the kind of arc that really needs to be executed well or it'll be god awful)#(and like. bleach's writing of female characters is better than other shounen but it's still not that great. we'll see.)

mha is like an estranged awkward father to me. i try not to make my connection to it obvious but i secretly care a lot about it (sometimes against what i desire) and when ppl talk serious shit about it i get defensive. like yea i understand that it's not the best series writing-wise, it's got a good amount of problems and that its mere connection to me makes me cringefail ... but i'll always find some sort of unexplainable comfort in its arms despite its flaws bc there's still a good amount of it to genuinely enjoy without a constantly ironic state of mind that all media must be critiqued with nowadays and i don't expect anyone to understand this odd relationship but myself
#every time i hear that mha fans are cringe and have bad taste i'm like well yeah. but also hey. watch it#like protecting my pathetic father who does not need protecting but i'll do it anyway bc it just feels like i should#it's not at all a horrible series the way everyone labels it and i think its popularity caused such a societal whiplash#like oh it's mainstream now! time to pick on every flaw it has and reduce it to typical shounen shit#without addressing its actually decent and sometimes stellar aspects#it is not as overwhelmingly enjoyed like certain anime i've gotten into lately but that's ok. i'm fine with that#it's a mid to mid-good series with good characters (with exceptions) and great artwork and ok storytelling#i remember when mha was super praised and considered incredible like 5 years ago .. lol how times change#anyway. just wanted to type this out bc i think mha fans get an unfairly bad rep sometimes for doing nothing all that out of the ordinary#just for having an interest in a not-very-enlightening piece of media#and that kinda sucks#also bc i started watching mob psycho and it's really fucking good LMFAOOOO#bnha#mha#becki rambles about stuff

I miss Mei so much you don’t understand :( bring her back AidaIro. Also Yako and Hakubo
I hate how the school mysteries (other than Hanako, Mitsuba and Akane) get there one arc where you really get to know them and care about them and then they just go away forever. GIVE THEM BACK PLS AIDAIRO LET THEM OUT OF THE CLOSET THEYVE DONE NOTHING WRONG
#tbhk#toilet bound hanako kun#jshk#jibaku shounen hanako kun#shijima mei#yako#tsuchigomori#Tbhk no.6#like I feel like they add so much#there all so fun#I’d say Sumire to but like you know.. rip#they could be silly little side characters to do silly little things#like I feel like we got that in the beginning with Yako and Tsuchi they would appear in little side arcs with one or two lines to help out#Yako can teleport anywhere and Mei can bring anything to life she draws??#why aren’t those powers used more??#at least Kako and Mirai get two arcs… and get mentioned by Akane every once in a while#how are you gonna write Mei so well and then she’s just gonna never been seen again#she’s like big foot at this point#it’s not that I don’t love the main cast but I love them too and I feel like there so underused#I feel like the whole 7 mysteries thing is kinda underused#apparently there proxies for god?? how the heck does that work?? like I understand mystery but I also understand 117 chapters and I info#they have a meeting like once and that was really cool do that again#or twice if you count the one where Hanako just rolled up to Tsuchi and was like ima break your shit#I chose to believe Hanako invited the rest of them to that meeting but they all chose to not show up#on that note in what way is Hanako the leader? he’s not the oldest#he’s not the strongest..#(you know cause Teru solos him ez and Hakubo solos Teru ez)#no one even listens to him so like???#anyway bring my girl Mei back she deserves it

I want so badly to write more short, slice-of-life TBHK fics but unfortunately I am a yapper so I end up overwriting (?) them and a fic that was meant to be 2k max turns into 5k. I am incapable of writing anything without a little bit of introspection
#the only time i’ve rly succeeded at doing this was that minamoto siblings fic i wrote#i prefer writing long-ish fics but i think it would be cute to put out little short ones with the characters just hanging out#no plot just vibes#the mitsuba dpd fic also kinda fits this but that was also super angsty#most of the time i get a little carried away#which is part of why i used “carried away” for the title of my meinene fic that was meant to be 1k and became 5k#ig i get too distracted with bigger projects hmmm#i’m aware that most ppl prefer long fics but i write ts for myself#do not be fooled#tbhk#toilet bound hanako kun#jshk#jibaku shounen hanako kun#fanfic writing#ao3#archive of our own#fan fiction#like i genuinely cannot imagine writing a fic that’s less than 1k that sounds horrifying#i like reading them but when i’m the one writing i have to be an overachiever

The only correct sequence for catching up with last week's anime is to watch Undead Unluck ep8, then Jujutsu Kaisen ep42, followed by Spy X Family ep33. I'm glad I stumbled upon it unwittingly 🥹
#undead unluck is mega hype offfbeat shounen#jjk finds new and varied ways to traumatise its viewers each week#and spy x family is an incredibly goofy palate cleanser#admittedly all three features large amounts of gore this week but i stand by it#non bllk#personal#anime#jukutsu kaisen#undead unluck#spy x family#brb going to stare at a wall and think of my fave jjk character#otherwise life's being demanding which is why ive been afk this last while#my q is likely going to run out but I'll get back to gushing about fooball blorbos soon! hopefully!!
