Not to be rude but I don't understand why MC has to be so untouchable. They're uber rich, talented, popular, smart, and generally excels in everything. There isn't anything negative about them aside from maybe their ambition but it's only in some cases.

Why can't they somehow just seem like a loser in some scenarios? I don't believe someone can be that perfect without some flaws. I like the concept but the MC is too much for me

this is like the seventh ask i’ve gotten in the span of 4 months with the same fucking complaints. i just don’t understand where y’all find the audacity to criticize an author when it’s clear you haven’t bothered to look too deep into the story or the character at all.

MC is susceptible to burning out like every other person.

there are a lot of things they do not excel at.

they can be a complete loser when it comes to relationships and magic.

there’s something fundamentally wrong with them.

their emotions can become very unstable at times.

they literally have a fatal flaw 💀

many of the ROs generally are on par with MC on a lot of things.

but even if these were not the case, there are plenty of other stories where you can play as a loser, wet cat MC with zero talents who everyone hates and despises. don’t come here and tell me shit because i didn’t write this story to cater to your dumb ass.

don’t like it? don’t read it.

im reading the venom comics and let me tell u. completely different character from the movies

[crazy-god-bunker-jughead]

Reign like. Didn’t make sense, was completely historically inaccurate, and had some really weird themes but it was perfect for me senior year of high school because it was PEAK insane drama. Like yes of course literally every man is in love with Mary, have you seen her? The King literally thrusted so hard his lover fell out a window. Sebastian had to watch Mary have sex with Francis while their dad was right there. It had me CHEERING for these girls to get with Middle Aged men because it was so gripping.

I didn’t like S2 as much because literally every character cheated on their husbands and I didn’t think the sexual assault subplot was handled very well. But honestly it was all worth it for Mary to burst into Conde’s war camp to be like “I’m PREGNANT and you’re the FATHER and you have to protect me from my husband because I still LOVE you” and then turn around and stab him because it was all a trick.

Weiss’ gif is so badass! Also, what does Weiss think of Mei-Lyn, and Mei? Since they’re different people in his eyes………

(Mushy, don’t let God or Humanity’s Daughter hear this, but… what if Weiss and Mei-Lyn get nasty? Like, getting all sloppy and messy together? I ship Meiss/Weilyn too much. 😔)

He finds Mei-lyn (advisor) endearing! Because to him she's just another servant of the castle, and he loves fighting for the oppressed and the underdogs. Not to mention, she's such a wet cat! He admires how ambitious she is and respects her as a person.

He dislikes Mei-lyn (clown) cuz he's read ALL about her and her work suppressing other women, and he does NOT like oppressors. he finds her funny and respects her work, but CANNOT get over the bad things she's done. not to mention, she herself is pretty passive aggressive towards him. he's trying to expose her work after all.

i cant blame him for not knowing the difference. because the interactions with there are so night and day

Lyn: " Yeah i'm thinking about watching a play later"

Mei-lyn: " HEY CRACKPOT, EVER HEARD OF A SHOWER?!"

Lyn: " I think women are so unfairly presented in today's society"

Mei-lyn" FUCK YOUR MOTHER AND FUCK YOU TOO"

Lyn: " I'm so happy that they got married!"

Mei-lyn: " YOUR HUSBAND CHEATED ON YOU"

Lyn: "I want to change the world"

Mei-lyn: " WANNA WATCH ME DOWN TWO WHOLE BOTTLES AT ONCE?!"

Wiggly Wednesday 🪱🧠

Tagged by the lovely @just-my-latest-hyperfixation <3 one of these days I’ll manage to actually post on a Wednesday, but until then

I am forever thinking about...

Golden retriever Steve.

Actual golden retriever Steve. Who Eddie finds curled up and shivering by the side of the road one night, and he's always had a weakness for an underdog. So he corrals the largest, fluffiest dog he's ever seen - it's probably not a wolf, dear god please say it's not a wolf - into the back of his van, blasts the heating, and disregards every traffic law on the way back to the trailer.

It takes a little bacon, and a lot of blankets, but the dog - who Eddie promptly names 'Ozzy' - gets comfortable pretty quickly. He's not a wolf either it turns out. Or if he is, he's the sappiest, friendliest, most well trained wolf in Indiana. In no time at all he's splayed across Eddie's chest, tail wagging enthusiastically as Eddie scratches between his ears.

Wayne gets home to find the two of them tucked under a blanket fort and just rolls his eyes, warning that this had better not be a repeat of 'that damned racoon incident'. So Eddie takes that as his blessing.

Ozzy spends the next week glued to Eddie's side.

He's an excellent guard dog. When a jock gets too big for his boots at a drug deal - and Eddie's about 30 seconds and one more snide comment away from a broken bone - Ozzy jumps forward, teeth bared and growling menacingly. He gets extra bacon and belly rubs that night.

He's also weirdly good at housework? Running off to get a towel every time he knocks over a drink with his overexcited tail. Which is often. And despite Wayne's insistence that it's just the weed talking, Eddie swears he caught Ozzy dusting one time.

There are downsides of course. Despite Eddie's constant complaints, Ozzy loves sports. Catch, fetch, chasing his own tail, and playing with the young kids at the trailer park. He even likes to settle onto the sofa in the afternoon and watch baseball games with Wayne.

Nevertheless, by the end of the week Eddie is spending every morning, evening, and night curled up in bed with his own personal space heater.

And then he wakes up one morning, and a very warm, very naked Steve Harrington is lying on top of him.

honestly I'm kinda disappointed all the popular/well known ships are gone/eliminated

the semis look kinda boring now tbh

(ps: I don't mean to hate on the ships winning. I'm sure they're winning for a reason. it's just they're all kinda unknown/not mainstream)

We're definitely surprised to see some of the highly seeded ships go down early, but personally, I think that makes the remaining matches more exciting, not less! Who doesn't love an upset, after all? But of course, with Bubbline in one half and Destiel in the other, there are definitely some significant heavy hitters still in the running!

That being said, we know we have some underdog semifinalists that people are less familiar with, so here's a brief primer on each of them!

Hualian comes from the Chinese novel Tian Guan Ci Fu, or Heaven Official's Blessing. If you've heard of Wangxian of Mo Dao Zu Shi/The Untamed fame, TGCF comes from the same author. It is a xianxia love story about ghost kings and fallen gods. Here's the plot synopsis from IMDB:

Eight hundred years ago, Xie Lian was the Crown Prince of the Xian Le kingdom. He was loved by his citizens and was considered the darling of the world. He ascended to the Heavens at a young age; however, due to unfortunate circumstances, was quickly banished back to the mortal realm. Years later, he ascends again, only to be banished again a few minutes after his ascension. Now, eight hundred years later, Xie Lian ascends to the Heavens for the third time as the laughing stock among all three realms. On his first task as a god thrice ascended, he meets a mysterious demon who rules the ghosts and terrifies the Heavens, yet, unbeknownst to Xie Lian, this demon king has been paying attention to him for a very, very long time.

At #58 in the Tumblr 2023 top ship list, they're solidly middle of the pack in terms of seeding, but they did take down Buddie at #10, and Davekat of Homestuck infamy: a very impressive showing!

Sulemio hails from the latest installment in the Mobile Suit Gundam anime franchise, The Witch from Mercury; as with all Gundam series, it is a sci-fi military drama featuring giant robots and space warfare. This one happens to also feature heavy inspiration from Revolutionary Girl Utena. Official synopses seem a bit lacking, and I unfortunately don't know enough about the series to summarize it myself, but I'll link this very helpful guide that someone left in our notes!

They're the lowest seeded of our semifinalists, ranking #59 on Tumblr's 2023 top ship list, so the fact that they've taken out the top seed is truly a feat; having a rallying force with @demilypyro has certainly helped their cause (and our very busy activity feed 😅) a great deal!

Regardless of who wins the next rounds, there are very fun underdog journeys present on both sides of the bracket. Plus, it's always good to remember that polls like these are not meant to be indicators of popularity, but of passion.
