No. 9 for the ask game! <3
Ahhh I love that folks found the ask games from Caroline and I! Thank you for sending!
9. Which burger or other food from the show do you most want to try? I think it’s gotta be the Baby You Can Chive My Car Burger! Mostly I love beef, cheese, and sour cream, but also it’s arguably one of the more impactful burgers of the show, being the star of Father of the Bob and all (fantastic episode, I think I’ll go rewatch it now underneath my hundreds of blankets and cough drop wrappers)

Live blogging my tech rehearsal bc I’m bored-
Oh never mind they aren’t letting me do lights I just have to sit here until 5 listening to mostly bad actors :(
Yippee using my call sign with the tech director lmao
Oh no someone just asked me how I was and I have too many pretzels in my mouth to respond they have to die now
I miss my bfs :((( (<- reoccurring thought all the time <33)
!!!!!!!!! 💚💕💚💕💚💕💚💕💕 (got a text from one of said partners)
Starting ‘show’ !! Finally !!! After 30 mins of nothing !!
I’m so bored and I don’t want my stale pretzels anymore :((
Dear lord who leaked my phone number bc I’m getting so many spam calls
Man I’m really tired
Oops I forgot to use the call signs my bad </3
NEW TECH MEMBER !!!!! (Very good, very exciting :)) hope they’re normal about gay people (im so very blatantly gay in the booth sorry not sorry)
30 more minutes I can do this hopefully
No school tomorrow I might actually sleep in hmmm maybe
Awwwwwh :(( I don’t get to see people for 4 days :(((
Going grocery shopping after this !!! (not fun cuz I’m tired, fun cuz I like grocery shopping :))
The point of doing tech early this year was so that I could get some lights done early but I’ve only been allowed to do 3 cues ://
Actually having new tech members stresses me out never mind lmao can me and my gf work in peace :( (we need people </33)

sunny voters im so sorry. But you have to admit is actually really funny that he lost both times by such a small percent despite the games popularity
Also while its fun campaigning reminder not to harass peopleeee. This is a dumb character poll. alot of people are very opinionated about omori myself included but i sincerely dont want anyone to harass the fans or people who voted for him. Lots of the games on these polls have problematic creators and while i have my own feelings about all of them i ask you to be civil to one another. i dont mind people getting excited and passionate in my tags but if youre being a dick to someone over who they voted for.... dont.

i want him to be redeemed. so bad. if miles can forgive him and they can work tg it would be so fun to watch bcs he, gwen, and jessica were so silly at the start of atsv. like i just want him to be a silly goose w miles too 😞😞
-‼️
THISSS like I loved that random little trio. and and! gwen and miguel actually worked together quite well! I mean yes he was snarking about how she nearly destroyed the multiverse but! that little nod he did with her before he caught those peopleeee and she webbed up the helicopter??? teamworkkkk and we could have had so much more as miguel being like a mentor to them to miles UGHHH
plsss I need to see this. miguel can realise what a dick he’s been and see that maybe lives do mean a little more than just a canon event. 🙏🙏 …and miles is 15 year old BOY who just wants to save his dad?? like??

OF COURSE IT WAS MUTSUKI I LOVE MUTSUKI. have you ever seen his actors twitter account its like my fav place on earth. people on here may not talk about him but i can always log on twitter to see Mutsuki Irl still spending 80% of his time talking about a role he played 20 years ago. toeis been doing a stream of blade (jp region locked😔) and he keeps sharing filming details and its so fun. mutsuki forever
I don't think I follow him on twitter but I have seen his comments about the show!! He and the rest of the cast just seem so so fond of their time on Blade and I'm glad its such good memories for them. Mutuski is such a good character tho thats beloved spiders boy and if youre mean to him then you're wrong hes just a kid trying to help peopleeee hes so good

This picrew is RIDDLED with PERSONALITY /pos
Tumblr media
I didn’t have a top hat like that in my youth but I wanted one so bad so I GET THE TOP HAT!! IT MAKES THE IMAGE LOOK MORE COHESIVE!!!
Actual fact that is very fun is that during my youth I like, cut my own straight bangs or whatever they’re called- and I remembered that part but I didn’t remember the part my mom always mentions where I apparently did a good job?? I should really summon that energy again for a side bang but that would be commitment.
I was also sad and diseased and only wore black as opposed to now where I’m sad and slightly less diseased and only wear the brightest of colors and am almost always overdressed 💀💀💀
The people the peopleeee @five-crows-in-a-trenchcoat @bunny-ribb1t @justfurbythingsblog @discount--dracula @pancake-furby no pressure!!
Picrew Chain! Make urself now vs. as a kid

Oh that's. That's a lot of alcohol. I did not think soju had five times more alcohol than beer it makes much more sense now. Thank you ihavenotfallenyet, you answered probably one of the biggest questions I had about alcohol!
Yeah the out of order events was something that I also wasn't that happy about, though I had already grown a tolerance to it since a lot of mobile otome games with events also kind of have this issue. It would be better if the events remained in the order they are but there's not much we can do aside from reading the event progression in order beforehand. Hopefully any other event shifts won't be as jarring as RRG, and at least Artem and Vyn have their progression more or less intact for their fans. Better two of them have out of order progression than all of them.
Vyn's perception is absolutely maxed as high as he can get it. There's a friend of mine who always makes bards with +10 charisma, and Vyn has that but for his perception. He probably does the same in dnd honestly, someone has to save the team from falling for lies and getting themselves in trouble.
xfjdtd nice way to use low rolls to your advantage. The image of a bard trying to serenade everyone with a beautiful song, realising it's just an off day for them and immediately switching gears to singing badly on purpose to annoy everyone is the best thing I've ever heard.
🌌
ohhhh, i didnt know this happened in other otome games too!!! tot is the first otome game ive played EVER which is surprising to me since im such a sucker for cheesy romance kjsdbgjsd. yeah, it was only rlly marius' relationship progression that got messed up. luke was fine because he and mc are already close so nothing noticeable was a discrepancy. marius tho, i kept squinting during RRG like.....dude, u havent smirked at mc for 3 whole scenes, are you sick? do you need a nap? im worried KJBKJSBGS
VYN WOULD MAX OUT HIS WISDOM and maybe get his proficiency there too. maybe also intelligence, but i do also want him to have a proficiency in dexterity bcuz hes a nimble archer and equestrian. im p sure his constitution is squishy as fuck tho, no offense, vyn. of all the boys, u look like a strong gust of wind could blow u off into the horizon.
and also if in my maybe future tot dnd fic and the fic is where the team play dnd, im so conflicted bc i want vyn to have a character cuz thats so fun but also, of all of them, he'd be the type to want to be DM the MOST. dnd is inherently improvisational storytelling and no single player has all control, it's a grp thing, yep, but also vyn would still enjoy like, Knowing Things The Others Do Not. i think he'd love creating the premises and lore and backstory and whipping those out when absolutely perfect to make the others scream.
also, because this one exchange my campaign team had with our DM fits vyn very well. adapted to the nxx team, it'll go like
the team: youre such a great DM!! can WE give YOU inspiration points?
vyn: i am flattered but that is an unwise decision. since i would use that inspiration to kill you all
my character, skirmish, is a tiefling bard and theyre a fucking nightmare. to give you an image of them, in our latest session, they rolled performance (really high) to sing a song about how these two villains we apprehended were just such shit people
and of course i roleplayed singing the song because u gotta commit to the bit. the song went like
yoURe boTH such terRRRIIIIBBLLEEE PEOPLEEEE~ nobody liKES YOUUUU~ and noboDY EVER WILLLLLL~
the performance was so rousing, the locals of the town were invigorated in rage against the villains and started throwing fish guts at them

Kokichi is dying (V3 chatfic, no particular ship)
TW: Infers abuse, talks about ableism, neglect, panic attack pretty much, depression, self loathing. never being good enough
i am so sorry but vr au's need to be sad, love yall :)
(Background info: This is set in a vr au, they are not with their fake memory parents (Ie; kaito's kind grandparents) but rather why they really have)
(Also i have no fucking clue what ship i was going for???? pretty sure they are all on the table, and kokichi talks like an idiot in this and i love it. Gonta's writing is based off of his Japanese talking style, so no more caveman talking).
USERNAMES:
(Space monkey: Kaito, Detective pikachu: shuichi, Elton john: kaede, Antman: gonta, Mr. Gonstealyoman: korekiyo, Atua's bitch: angie, emoboi: ryoma, be-boop: kiibo, bread roll: Maki, cum dumpster: miu, mommy: kirumi, Gremlin: Kokichi)

Gremlin: SHUT THE FUCK UP STOP MAKING ME FEEL BADBSKVKHDVKDSKJV
Antman: do you need me to come over? I can make you tea?
mommy: Do you know how to do that, Gonta? I can teach you?
Antman: Gonta does know, thank you very much. 
Antman: Gonta is not a child, Tojo-chan, please don't regard me as one
Antman: Gonta can cook, can clean, can be gentle, and has his own mind

Antman: I am capable of things just like you!!!!!
Antman: Gonta doesn't know why you guys treat me like a child :(
Gremlin: yeah, hot stuff over there is basically a prodigy homies
Antman: Gonta is dumb though, don't say that.
Antman: Gonta is no prodigy, in fact, he is below average in everything
Gremlin: Whats ur test scores bitch
Antman: Gonta got a 98 on my english test,, but i wanted a 100, which would make Gonta actually smart :( 
Antman: Gonta is not good enough to be friends with you all
Antman: I can do basic stuff like tojo said...
Antman: maybe i do need help?
Antman: im not sure anymore:((((
Gremlin: THEY ARE ABLEIST GONTA,,, THEY FEEL SUPERIOR FOR TREATING UUUUU LIKE A CHILD
Detective pikachu: You sound really delusional Kokichi, maybe you should get sleep
Gremlin: S T F U, IM SPITTING ST8 FACTS BITCH

Oh greeeat a tag thing that asks me to tag peopleeee lmao.
alright. okay. i'll do it. just this once.
I'm currently enjoying a few fics ngl, many wip's here on tumblr, one of them is
you must have known for a long time (the shape of things to come) by - @outpastthebrakers really cute about steddie being forest fire watchers in separate towers talking over the radio, it's a really pleasant au, steadily updated, and enjoyable!
and also Steve Harrington's Radical Fun Time Babysitting Service - by Humanities_Handbag and Invader_Sam on Ao3 (it's locked to account holders only) the plot's kinda in the name right there but it's a funny and cute no upside down au and while it doesnt update as regularly as the one above i'm always thrilled to see it update! the kids are all KIDS kids. it's cute!!
and this one's complete but also explicit I know I've kissed you before (Can I try again) - by ChristinMKay on Ao3, it's an exes to lovers fic. it's great. also an AU cause i'm an AU junkie.
lets see, who should i tag, who's tag will work, lets see: @ilovecupcakesandtea , @grimmfitzz , @robbie-verse and... @sp0o0kylights because these are my only mutuals who i cant see already tagged lmao.
whatcha reading?
I'm starting a tag thing that's also gonna be a bit of a constant fic rec!
Basically, if you're tagged, all you need to do is post a fic you're currently reading or one you've read recently that you loved. It can be a WIP or completed, a one-shot, a series, anything! Bonus points if you can also tag the author on here so they know you're sharing the love (there's no actual point system here). Put why you love(d) it if you want to!
I'll start with this series that I've finally caught up on:
Between Worlds Series by Paryton (I don't see a tumblr linked in their notes but if anyone knows if they're here, please let me know!)
The first part is rated T, the next two parts are rated M. The third part is a WIP and it is INCREDIBLE. The concept is unique and beautifully done. The angst is the perfect level, the plot is adjusted perfectly, and the characterization is *chefs kiss*. It's a long read, but it is such a smooth story and worth every moment.
I'm gonna tag some people, but no pressure to do it. Or if you haven't read anything you want to recommend lately, but still want to share, feel free to just tag some people in the replies!
@zerokrox-blog @rozzieroos @simplebtromance @sidekick-hero @legitcookie @flowercrowngods @estrellami-1 @steves-strapcollection @every-aj-needs-an-angel @dauntlessdiva @nburkhardt @scoops-stevie @weirdandabsurd42 @emchant3d @thorniest-rose @tattooedbats @mx-jinxous @mrsjellymunson

I just read your post about shipping and energy and I finished it with an interesting question in mind. A los of the examples you use to defend the theory the "tension" Or energy beetwen the characters have some Interactions that could be consider "Toxic" As�� a relationship, but because of that tensión that just make more fans ship it. Emotions of jelaously, hate, self worth bla bla. I would like to know your opinión on Toxic relationships on shipping and the difference (1/2?)
And the difference of how people Accept it depending if the ship is Slash or het. Dont get me wrong. What I try to exploin in My crappy English is that sometimes I have seen shippers calling Toxic and unhealthy het ships (I can give you plenty of examples) but at the same time drowning in feelings about the exact same concept on Slash. It can be domination, bickering, power dinamics etc.   Please a dont send this ina negative context its just something I have notice (2/2)
No worries, I got you. I think your point is really valid and there are a lot of discrepancies in how people ship when it comes to het versus slash.
In this case, my answer to this has three different parts to it:
1) I am always very, very cautious about applying the term “toxic” to a fictional relationship because--and I am aware this is not a popular opinion to have on tumblr--I do see a clear distinction between fiction and reality. Can systemic, widespread efforts in media to normalize something have impacts on public perception? Sure. Japan’s thing for twelve-year-old girls in anime is fucked up, my dudes. But in terms of fictional relationships, would any sane person look at things like, say, a psychopathic villain and hero ship and go “Oh man, Sephiroth/Cloud is such relationship goals; can’t wait to find me a serial killer!”? “Yeah dude, I really hope my next girlfriend is a yandere who will stab me sixteen times in non-vital places for fun!” “I can’t wait to engage in armed combat with my evil boyfriend who has enslaved my best friends and won’t give them back unless I let the rest of the world perish!” ...said no real person ever. Lots of things happen in fiction that we--as readers and viewers--can fully appreciate would never be okay in the real world. (And yes, this does extend even to more realistic things like jealousy, bickering, bullying--I like Bakugou as a character, but I’d never be able to tolerate a person who acted like him in real life.) 
I wholeheartedly believe that, outside of illegal things which should obviously be reported, each person has responsibility only for their own fandom experience, and I highly encourage people to make full use of the blocking and filtering features available in fandom spaces to avoid any content that makes them feel uncomfortable or any ships they find to be unhealthy.
So: My opinion on toxic ships is that virtually any ship in this world could be perceived as toxic by someone, and that the alternative--a world in which the ONLY ships we’re allowed to write about or draw or even just like are those which are perfectly healthy pure pure love-fests--sounds horrible to me.
2) Very few people ship without an endgame in mind. I can’t think of anyone who looks at two characters who absolutely hate each other and thinks “Wow, I can’t wait to write a 100,000 word fic in which their relationship does not evolve in the slightest and they end the story hating each other exactly as much as they did on Day 1!” JK, maybe I can, I was in the Durarara fandom, after all. When people ship “toxic” relationships, it is almost always with the idea of character growth and change in mind--the idea is “They are not healthy for each other now, but the whole point of my story or art is that they’ll become healthy for each other over time.” The power of love can heallll peopleeee.
Are the characters jealous of each other now, aggressive toward each other now, enemies right now? Obviously in the shipper’s mind, these are challenges that can be overcome in time by the characters learning and developing into better versions of themselves. Perhaps this is an overly optimistic worldview that leads people to make bad choices in real life--awful people in real life rarely change as much for the better as characters in fiction are capable of changing, but that’s the beauty of fiction: it doesn’t show us people as they are, but people as we wish they could be. We want to believe that the toxic pair of characters can find common ground and heal each other. That the people who are jealous of each other will instead come to appreciate each other by the end. That the misunderstandings will be cleared up. That mistakes will be forgiven. People typically aren’t shipping a toxic ship because they love toxicity--they’re shipping that relationship specifically because they see potential beyond that tension.
We typically ship with “happily ever after” in mind, with the understanding that the life is too hard and people too flawed for that road to always be an easy one.
3) I think you are right that there is a discrepancy in the way that people view het ships and slash ships; namely, there is a discrepancy between the way het ships and mlm ships are viewed.
There are probably a lot of long and complicated sociological explanations for this that someone with more research in the field could explain better, but my first thought on this is that the discrepancy is based primarily on how fans understand male and female dynamics versus male and male dynamics.
For example, society is coded strongly to view a man who hits, dominates, or is aggressive to a woman as a very, very bad guy. (Perhaps this is something widespread media depictions have normalized?) Whereas “dude kicks another guy’s ass” has a whole different connotation in modern views. It is certainly a double standard, and part of the reason that so many male victims of abuse, sexual assault, domestic violence, etc. go ignored. Men are viewed as “too strong” to be victims; therefore, even many of the “wokest” fans can accept two male characters having a violent dynamic, when they would never accept that scenario between a male and female character.
That said, I think we also need to recognize that the way female characters are portrayed in media contributes to this problem. A preponderance of female characters in media are limited in what they can do and the situations they are allowed to engage in. As with BNHA, for example, “good” women are not allowed to be violent, jealous (other than over boys), aggressive, etc. Women are simply treated as not eligible for a wide variety of the dynamics that fictional men are written with. A male character having a superiority-inferiority complex over his also-male rival? Not surprising in the least. A male character having a superiority-inferiority complex over a female rival? Pshhh, yeah right. A female character bitterly jealous over a male character’s power, leadership, or skill? Surely she just admires his ability. Through a combination of misogyny and toxic masculinity, the stories themselves tell readers that unhealthy dynamics are commonplace and acceptable when they happen between two males, while “good” female characters should only be a source of healthy, supportive dynamics.
If we’re talking about unintended messages that writers send readers/viewers when it comes to character dynamics, this is definitely one of them!
tl;dr: Writers train their readers to expect and want certain things, but often do so carelessly or while unaware of the ways their own stereotypical societal views and cliche genre conventions will be taken and transformed by fandoms.
