[shsl-writer]

sorry for accidentally dming you this but I find you very interesting and got too excited and pressed the wrong button and stuff so uh yeah

Opinions on Kiyo? (I’m very very normal about Kiyo and definitely relate to him to a average degree)

Heslo! Don’t worry, I totally get it, I’m horrific with technology. I’m just glad you wanted to talk!

Kiyo! God, I adore Kiyo. I haven’t gotten to the third game yet but I’ve watched all the ftes and am obviously pretty deeply entrenched in fandom stuff so I know a good deal about him, he’s genuinely one of my favorite Danganronpa characters.

To me Kiyo reads as an abused person who hasn’t yet realized they’ve been abused. Other people can probably articulate it better than me but from what I’ve seen his Sister has dictated most everything about him from his clothes to his interests. Everything he does is for her and from the sounds of it this is still the case years after her death, that’s how deeply she’s influenced (and manipulated) him. I’m assuming that his parents were either absent or not there entirely which is why she had so much control over him. It makes me so angry about what they did to him in the 3rd trial not only because Kiyo’s character was then completely villainized but because it’s an absolutely disgusting way to paint someone who’s so clearly been abused. There’s a difference between recognizing that a character doesn’t realize they’ve been mistreated and writing them to be a goddamn serial killer (Danganronpa has a history of turning heavily traumatized characters ‘evil’ tho, just look at Toko and Syo).

Anyway, I also think Kiyo is super autistic. So many of his sprites are self-soothing positions (which could also be related to the abuse but yunno), he’s covered pretty much head to toe which could be to protect from sensory issues, and most importantly: this man infodumps like no one’s fucking business. It’s kinda all he talks about unless prompted otherwise? And there’s implication he doesn’t have a lot of control over it because he’ll cut himself off sometimes realizing he’d been talking for too long and dominating the conversation. All of his ftes with Shuichi are about essentially acting as a teacher for different anthropological subjects. That is a special interest, you can’t convince me otherwise.

Overall I think Kiyo is just a really tragic character who was completely fucked over by the writing. As someone ND myself I find him so fucking relatable. He’s seen as weird and typically keeps to himself and has a hard time holding a normal conversation. He keeps trying to just stay in the background and observe but not only does his stature make that difficult he’s also got so much to say, so much knowledge he wants to share, and he just wants someone who will listen. I hold him so dear to my heart <33

I NEED TO HEAR MORE ABT UR OPINIONS ON PRINCE!SUGU... it's giving me jinshi vibes........ FROM apothecary diaries......

I’M SO GLAD YOU ASKED ANON >:33 HE REALLY IS SOOOOO JINSHI LMAO ………..

prince!suguru is... a handsome, polite man. respected and well-liked by royals, castle workers and townsfolk alike. widely renowned as the king’s favorite child. always in demand, a constant stream of invitations to attend public events, balls and banquets — ogled all the while. nothing seems to catch him off guard; he handles any conversation with practiced ease, charming and composed. you’d feel awfully safe, knowing the kingdom’s future will one day lie in his capable hands….

but all of that is surface level.

when suguru comes home, after a day full of sweet-talking princesses and speaking to the leaders of a neighbourhood kingdom — he slumps down on his bed and rots. depression style. lets out the most weary, disgruntled groan you’ve ever heard, and curls up like a sad shrimp. pouts and whines and mentally debates if he should ask one of the maids for a snack or let the hunger claim him. he’s basically just an introvert with a horrendous social battery and no choice but to act like a perfect prince every day. he’s so tired of it. he just wants to sleep in and drink tea and practice playing the harp :((( poor baby.

i’m thinking reader is his newly-appointed maid. and you’re obviously a little intimidated by him, because how couldn’t you be? but after a while, after spending so much time with him, you inevitably realize that he’s… kind of a loser. a little soggy. seeing how quickly he goes from ☺️ to 😞 gives you whiplash. and he gets very attached to you!!! he likes it when you coddle him a bit…. most of his maids are way older, but you’re just about his age. and he’s a little starved of normal interactions with friends. so he starts requesting your ”help” (it’s really just your company, he’s not as spoiled as you’d think) more than anyone else.

basically !!!! he’s a sad little soggy prince :33 lots of gap moe . on the outside he’s smiling, on the inside he’s daydreaming about a missile dropping down and setting the kingdom on fire. he is hanging on by a Thread. please vote for him in the next royal election.

Hellooo there was something abt your post that kinda got me thinking. The mha fandom has always been populated by mostly fem and general queer people, which is probably the reason why these toxic brodudes were SO pissed whenever anything queer looking would happen in the story, and why their reaction to 430 was so bitter and vindictive. They hate when they see the queers feeling like they have been catered to, and they hate having to be creative by themselves.

I watched a video by a yt named Shaun, abt a fake outrage that the same kind of brodudes instigated, but with the difference being that it was abt video games. He said something that seriously makes sense even in the context of mha and various other mangas.

"They don't want to be a part of diversity, they want to be superior to it. They don't want a game with the option to cater to them, they want to be the ones who the game solely caters to".

And to me, that is exactly what 431 is.

Now i'm gonna be honest, my opinion of Hori wasn't the greatest before, and after that it just became really sour. But i recognized his capabilities and his passion. So being as chariable as possible coming from me; i think he just got angry that he had to see people criticizing the previous ending in such a humiliating way. It wouldn't be surprising, since the the fuss they made wasn't just in one place, it was everywhere. Everyone was spreading misinformation to hell and back and even attacking him personally.

He tried his best to counter all of what they were saying, by making everything they wanted a possibility at the very last minute. But, as you know, the things they wanted were absolutely nothing but the bland, underdeveloped het ship becoming canon. And for that, everything had to be dumbed down, forgotten, or forced in a shoddy way. Now all the same ppl who were pissed are praising him for "fixing" his ending.

He'll probably try to do damage control if the backlash of now gets to him, by like, idk making family/romantic illustrations for Iz/och? Which to me personally will just mean that he really is that lazy or weak willed. But maybe he will just show cool illustrations and stay quiet.

I think you are sooooo right about dudebros wanting a piece of media to only be catered to them. Your quotation is also so on point.

The biggest problem with mha is that it’s debut, and the initial few years of its publication, it mainly garnered a very dudebro like fanbase. Even during the first half of 2020 when it blew up, it catered heavily to dudebros with fan service and power scaling. The issue is that eventually as the manga transcended to become something that was much more inclusive, it stopped catering to these guys.

I have always said this but a man’s biggest enemy is women and queer people. So when a fanbase garners a massive female and queer audience, it becomes a job for these guys to shame said consumers who actually heavily heavily contribute to the popularisation of said media. I’m not sure if you have seen the video of that woman on tiktok who went viral for crying over chapter 431 and how aggressive these “normal” guys were towards her. I believe infiltration of fandom spaces mainly happens when the author tries to cater to EVERY side of the audience, the dudebros, women, queer people. And it simply cannot work that way. This is something i have always critiqued on Hori’s part, that despite that sheer density and strength of his story, he becomes directionless when it comes to appealing to certain sides of the fandom. Which is why we get sm fan service, sm forced izcha crumbs, its Hori’s attempt at keeping both bkdks and izchs happy. And it simply does not work that way.

However, i truly truly thought his choice of ending 430 the way he did was groundbreakingly beautiful. It was the most amazing open ending we could’ve had. But his choice to publish 431, which, he too, seemed unwilling to, really undid 430 chapters of his hard work because not only did it fracture the narrative and corrupt the characters but it also dismantled everything he had built. In a way, it also very much ruined mha in multiple ways.

I hadn’t seen a relationship as beautiful as tgchk and bkdk in shounen before, it was so raw and jarring in so many ways. And as a bisexual woman, Toga’s conclusion felt very dear and personal to me. But sadly, the ending really left a hole in my heart. So when i see these dudebros violently trashing ships and calling them senseless I cannot help but feel super sad because in a way, after chapter 430 the number of these aggressive dudebros had significantly reduced maybe because they were forced to come in terms with the finale. But 431 really resurfaced them in the worst way possible.

you 🤝 me

not being normal abt the dbhc au

YEAH. LITERALLY. Define normal because I sure as heck am NOT it. My gosh is the DBHC Ethubs brainrot strong.

sooooo as promised, quotes from my DBHC Ethubs wip :D (Edit: yeah so uh. that got a bit out of hand)

I’m the most happy with these and they probably won’t change too much when it comes time to put together the “donefinalfinal2.0take3” draft as I’m prone to naming things lol

#1

There’s a fond tilt to his lips as he cards his fingers through Bdubs’ hair, the sensation of the strands slipping through his fingers and the weight of the head pillowed on his chest grounding. It feels right, just so, a surety that seeps into his bones and nestles there. With Bdubs curled up on the grass beside him, face turned outwards and the sleepy smile tugging at his expression just barely peeking out from beneath the arm thrown over his eyes, the irony isn’t lost on him.

Dbhc Etho isn’t human, as much as he’s feeling and acting like one ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ so there’s a little nugget of angst there.

for context, they’re lying in the sun - it’s set around early season 10, maybe around when Bdubs plants the forest around his area. Seeing as Etho was made for terraforming and gardening, it would only make sense for him to be helping Bdubs out with it.

Anyway. Spending a long day in the heat to dig holes, place saplings in them and cover them over again is pretty physically intensive. So Bdubs, being Bdubs, is tired and just wants to lie in the sunshine for a bit. Who’s to say Etho doesn’t join him (he does) (Bdubs ends up lying his head on Etho’s chest)

(there’s some serious angst potential here. Bdubs missed his uh, friend, when he wasn’t around before redeviating. Maybe he cries about it. Maybe Etho has some feelings about that)

#2

“Hey, you,” Bdubs murmurs, nose crinkling as his face stretches into a yawn, shifting the arm thrown over his eyes to open them for a few seconds and squint up at where Etho stands, blocking the rays of late-afternoon sunlight.

“Hey yourself, ‘Dubs,” he replies, unable to help the amusement creeping into his tone. Unregistered emotion detected, the notification flashes, which he ignores in favour of stuffing his hands into his pockets, raising an eyebrow at where Bdubs lies spread-eagled on the ground by his feet, well-worn soil stained gloves discarded and cast off to the side. “What ‘cha up to?” 

An incoherent “Mm” is all he gets in response, and it’s a conscious effort not to huff with laughter. The half-hearted glare from Bdubs proves the challenge impossible.

He could absolutely make a game of annoying Bdubs, Etho decides, mentally noting the thought and storing it to contemplate later. “I finished fixing your saplings,” is what he opts for instead, this time receiving a longer and slightly more coherent mumble he takes to mean as a thank you, and not a get your shadow away from me as it was likely intended.

“What was that?” He teases, putting a hand to his ear and leaning down slightly, blocking the sun further. “Is it past your bedtime?” 

Bdubs scowls as a breeze sweeps past, and had Etho been human he’d be completely caught off guard as the other reaches up to yank his arm. As it is he makes a show of stumbling, catching himself before using the connection to pivot and flop down besides Bdubs on the grass, greeted by Bdubs blinking blearily up at him, one eye open and the other shut against the brightness once again unobscured by Etho’s figure. 

“If you’re going to sit here, at least lie down, for goodness’ sakes,” he grumbles, but there’s no real heat behind the words. He resolutely ignores the way Bdubs’ touch lingers on his arm before falling back to his side. Unregistered emotion, the warning flashes. He ignores that, too.

formatting on mobile is incredibly time consuming but we got there in the end :’D

(This takes place earlier in the story than the first quote but shh)

anyway! I It’s far from finished and none of this is fully edited, so there’ll probably be changes in the future!

I hope you like it <333

for anyone not familiar with the au: it’s not mine, I’m simply writing a fanfic on it - go check out Shepscapades’ master post :) the art is absolutely incredible and I cannot recommend the entire thing enough

please do not repost my writing. Everyone is always welcome to reblog though ;)

[cherri-ish]

I’m crying over DCeased yall, this got me fucked up. Spoilers under the cut 💔💔💔

ALFRED!!!!! ALFRED!!!!!!

Ok so I was already crying at the beginning cause my lovers the Bats are already mostly down w Dick (bf), Bruce, and Tim but then JASON and then now u got me on ALFRED???? Not even to forget my lover Cass she’s so fucking cool I love her like the panel of her talking abt how now that Lady Shiva is gone SHE is the best???? YESSSSSSS!!!!! Tbf she’s been the best to me always. Do NOT get me fucking started about Steph……..

Alfred not dead but the panel where he turns into Spector (I think?) got me crying bro tears in my eyes as I type this shit out like I normally don’t fw apocalyptic endings bc I get depressed I HATE INJUSTICE WITH EVERYTHING IN MY SOUL but like this was so well done bc of the sheer hope you get from the cure and all that stuff

Bro and also Lobo???? I was not familiar with his game tbh but he solos HEAVYYYYYY like imma need to get in on whatever he has going on if its this fire

Also Dames in the white Batman suit is cracking me UPPPP like yes he’s eating but girl it look sooooo funky from what’s usually in my head, I think he looks great though cause highkey the old suit also made me chuckle a bit at him. Speaking of dames he’s highkey a little short and that also makes me laugh

BUT THE END !!! OMG IM CRYINGGGGGG !!! DAMIAN!!!! DAMES!!!!! I’m in shambles but it was such a beautiful end. Poor Alfred brah he just get loss after loss in this

I think it’s so great how they tied the beginning to the end with what Green Arrow said to Damian and Damian saving everything is such a sad and satisfying ending

It makes me laugh tho that the bats are always at the center of everything in comics LOL. Here’s a picture of what Damian made at the end, super cute.

[ardentpoop]

ur post about pre stanford fights is sooooo real. ive always kinda had the belief that john and sam would verbally fight, maybe get in each others faces

but dean would be the one that would actually hit sam, cuz it would just be normal to them? like they would be used to sparring and play fighting so when hes pissed, he would just... hit him

like i can very easily imagine a scenario where john and sam got in a massive fight and they both storm away from each other, where dean follows sam and punches him and says something like "thats cuz dad would NEVER do that to you but you deserve it" or something

yeah almost everything regarding the physical abuse in their childhood is speculative and probably depends on The Reader’s personal experiences lol but w/ john’s quick temper it is not at all a stretch to conclude he lashed out physically during especially heated moments. and then felt horrible abt it but never apologized because how does one apologize. see, here I’m projecting based on my own experiences as most people do :)

but anyway this is the type of behavior that was modeled for dean as being normal for The Man Of The House. we can extrapolate john’s preseries behavior based on dean’s canon onscreen behavior towards sam for 15 seasons. this is for some reason a difficult concept for people to accept (well. we know why)

[silveme]

hi sorry i hope im not being too unhinged but in ur recent sigma art the fucking faculty photo in the corner is literally driving me insane. its so perfect. the fucking forced smile that Everyone does. the fact he looks like a true aging professor. the suit n tie. his fumckiogng WRINKLES I JUST. AUGJAKFJ ITS PERFECTION i mean the whole art is soooo fucking good BUT THE PORTAIT ESP...............ur art does things to me. i love u thank u for the food

Can’t believe I’m just seeing this now idk why I didn’t get a notification but THANK YOU 💕 that piece has been getting a lot of love lately which I’m so so so grateful for I’m really proud of it.

Also btw that portrait is just so funny to me to look at. I cannot take it seriously when I look at it I burst out laughing every time. Something abt him is just sooooo normal. #Normalguycore. looking at it feels like being shown a picture of someones awkward teenage phase but instead of a teenager it’s a man in his 40s. He’s like 😀

Here is the placeholder sketch I had for it for the longest time + plus the original painting

[pansy-picnics]

in one of ur order posts you mentioned cass and lance understanding each other and I am VERY interested to hear ur thoughts. I always thought those 2 would have a fun dynamic...

AUGHHHHH YES THANK YOU I THINK SO TOO….!!!!!! Idk it’s kind of a mess when i try to put it into words but it’s like…something about them both being in the “shadow” of rapunzel and eugene respectively. they just both handle it very differently…bc lance i feel is always looking out for others and it leads him to neglect himself a lot, but when he really looks into it and he sees eugene’s growth and how he’s come into his own…how he’s found his roots and even his father….as happy for him as he is lance can’t help but feel a bit bitter sometimes. it’s the secondary character syndrome yk!!!! lance just hasn’t really reached a “breaking point” like cass has because he’s trying to manage it in a healthier way…he’s trying to make a life for himself with what he has and he’s realizing he likes things a lot as they are. but that doesn’t make that grief of what he wish he could’ve had just go away….so when he does confide in someone abt those feelings nobody rlly gets it more than cass does. and more than anyone else LANCE is the one who truly understands why cass did what she did.

this little fic of them is very important to me... this one is also one i think about a lot. it’s hard to find lance fics in this economy. :( i like to think they bonded a little leading up to destinies collide, not enough for cass to change her mind about leaving but enough to give them both some food for thought you feel me…..they both just have this unspoken Understanding with each other, and they both admire each other a lot. the shenanigans cass lance and eugene would get into would also be SO silly so it’s a shame we never really saw them interact </3

cass seems to be inherently drawn to the golden retriever type anyways whether she likes it or not so i’m sure lance and rapunzel drag her out on day trips all the time. she and lance gossip together and stuff yk...i think post series she’ll often still go out of the kingdom for work trips (in my head after settling with rapunzel she works as an ambassador for corona, mostly just to be able to get out more while still helping raps), and sometimes in the middle of the night as shes on her way back she’ll stop at his place in old corona just to steal food from him. leaves him a horribly written note and a cool rock or something. like. “Took a piece of the pie in the oven. There were already slices taken out so I figured it’d be fine. Oh I’m back btw. Not dead yet”

they also play pranks on eugene together ALL the time and this is canon actually i made the show. lance can honestly get her to do anything if he can convince her it’ll annoy eugene somehow /hj

ALSO LANCE BEING A WINGMAN FOR CASSUNZEL IS SOMETHING I NEED SOOOOO BAD AND I CANT BELIEVE NOBODY’S THOUGHT OF IT BEFORE. Like honestly i think if she were to tell a single soul about her hopeless crush it would be lance. i think he’s the only one who would be normal about it and keep it a secret tbh. lance just keeps randomly trying to put them in Situations together and cass is getting really suspicious that he’s doing it on purpose but she doesn’t REALLY have any actual evidence so she can’t say anything and it’s driving her crazy. rapunzel is just like “Cassss don’t be silly ur overthinking it ^_^” (shes lying to herself)

IDK. I THINK THEY’D HAVE SILLY SHENANIGANS AND THEY MAKE ME EMO TBH. The secondary characters always cursed to live in someone else’s shadow…..finding solace and friendship in each other………..Though one is sidelined for a much more obvious reason than the other (cough cough RACISM) but its Fineeeee its fine i’m normal about it😁 /s

[callistoscope]

i am once again in your askbox to say damn. you GET get harvey. ive been reading and rereading your fics (if you posted them on ao3 i would NOT be normal abt it) and damn. you UNDERSTAND harvey. you understand what makes this limp wind sock of a man flop around. (he's so cute i love him. i need to see him broken.)

like my friend you fucking GET IT.

me @ your harvey

OH GODDDDD IM SO SORRYYYY THIS HAS BEEN IN MY INBOX FOR A HOT MINUTE!!!

I cannot thank you enough, this is genuinely the highest of compliments to me, no joke. being told I Get Harvey is like being told I’ve somehow won one billion dollars. I’m mentally a billionaire now thank you for that!!!! I could go on rants(and privately have!!!!! So Many. it’s not even funny it’s concerning) about HARVEY and who he is as a person, the wonderfully BRILLIANT way he’s fucked up inside that he keeps so quiet about. he’s so QUIET with his misery, even to himself!

upon first glance or even first conversing, he can come across as a little boring and too Neat and Tidy in regards to his life but he just isn’t! he’s anxious, he’s cowardly, he has broken dreams that he still clings to the remains of, he’s kind and considerate! shy! even moreso lonely! overbearingly, suffocatingly lonely.

sorry Jesus, that kinda just barreled out of me lmao. ANYWAYS yeah I’m very normal about him! “I need to see him broken” you have No idea how deeply this feeling resonates with me. speaking of which, I’ve read a few of your own fics and?????!?!?!? that cf one was sooooo good, you write SO well, and another personal favorite was the one where harvey got fucking BRIDAL CARRIED!!!! seriously I owe you my life for that one!!!!!! I’m just so weak for stuff like that!!!!!
