#I'm just sad I saw the post

[musetoo]

the tragedy of an artist entering your teensy dormant fandom and sharing brand new art in 2024 (!), but discovering, after happily scrolling through a month's worth of posts, that they openly oppose shipping a pairing which has some pretty strong textual support, depending on how you squint, and which you're quite fond of in its puppy love, hand-holding form, causing you to wander away sadly from this no-longer-a-potential-friend's blog without being able to share the pretty art, because if they go through your tags, they'll see the ship in question and probably block without ever asking why you even like it.

Hey friends.

Just so you know, the blanket fort's always there if you need it.

Doesn't matter how long it's been. Doesn't matter if you still have hope or if you've given up. Doesn't matter if you're sad or angry or scared or a just a bit lonely. Doesn't matter if you feel a bit silly for however you're feeling.

There's always going to be someone there to welcome you. That's the beauty of fandom.

I love you.

Door's the blue cushion.

i have a theory about shinji, gin, and aizen, but i'm not really sure how to word it.

we never really see shinji and gin interact all that much, which makes sense bc both of them have significantly more important relationships with aizen, but at the same time it's a little odd how much there isn't.

like. gin cut hiyori in half. shinji is understandably pissed about that, but he aims that anger at aizen - and this seems to be one of the very few things in the bleach world that honestly isn't on him bc he never told gin to do that, he never even implied it. hiyori was never a threat to him. hell, we don't even know if she was charging in the right direction; if anything, attacking her implies that she was which is a really stupid thing to do when you're surrounded by a bunch of people who super want you dead and would kill you if they could be sure you weren't tricking them into stabbing each other (ofc it could also be a fakeout but still)

but i don't remember shinji's beef ever really being with gin, even tho he didn't seem to anticipate that gin was working with aizen the whole time during tbtp. so like does he feel responsibility there? cuz gin went straight from academy to 3rd seat and shinji could plausibly feel like that sent him right to aizen bc he doesn't know that gin was always aiming for that. did he blame himself? does he feel like he should've seen it coming? does he still see him as some weird genius kid? does he just view gin as an extension of aizen, which is both dehumanizing to an extent but also entirely fair bc gin did that to himself?

the thing is, since we never really see them interact much, it's kind of only interesting on shinji's side of things, bc gin doesn't really care about much outside of whatever the fuck he thought he was doing and the version of rangiku that he has in his head who needs back something that the real one doesn't ever seem to have realized she lost to begin with. gin's so disconnected with basically everybody that most of the time you can usually assume his thoughts are just "lol. lmao" and there's no reason to think that doesn't extend to shinji as well (gin has deep thoughts on: aizen, ichigo, and matsumoto (massive asterisk on that one ofc) and i think everyone else is kinda set dressing to him lmao the guy is Fucked Up)

anyway i think it's interesting to toy around with that relationship as it was in reality as well as how it might've been perceived, but also in the sense of both of them being sort of opposite ends of the manchild spectrum - shinji leans into his childish side but still has a fairly adult worldview, and gin is able to pull off maturity to an extent but was never able to escape a deeply childish mindset

Season 3 - Colin & Penelope's Triumph

Stop listening to loud people in bubbles who want to bring down your enthusiasm and crumple your joy with how much we have to enjoy Penelope and Colin's season. There are some people with a clear agenda of hatred because of their own couples that will straight up lie, cherry pick and manipulate to try to get people turned off or to feel insecure about saying they love what they love. Sometimes, people with a weaker personality and herd mentality fall for that and start thinking oh, maybe it's not good or i shouldn't like. Some nonsenses that we read sometimes and some fall for it: Nonsense: "Polin is not popular, the show would be doomed by them. People wont watch" Reality:

Nonsense: "Polin is being dragged by negative reviews by public and fans who doesn't see chemistry" ( lol, i can't even with that one...) Reality:

At this moment, very near season 1 in critics ( 87%) and above in audience score and higher than season 2 in both aspects. Does it make anyone like or dislike more? because it sure wouldn't make me like more or less something. Nonsense: Only negative things go viral. Reality:

That tweet is from 13 hours ago. You read that right. 13 hours ago and look at views, look at 139K ( HOLY SHIT) that have liked and an insane 65K have already bookmarked. That's viral in a insane level by people loving their chemistry and them together. If anything they have too much chemistry. lol Artists, famous figures and all saying they watched and loved also on SNSs. The general audience loving it. We, from inside the fandom, might have our issues, things we wanted more or less, but it's glorious what we have and how much Nicola Coughlan & Luke Newton gave and are giving us. The hatred is being silenced by the simple truth and the enjoyment people are having. They tried to hate on their popularity, it didn't work. They tried with their chemistry, it didn't work. They tried telling us it was fast or forced even with all we have already got of their relationship ( a couple that actually has been developing from season 1 and that already had a bond and has a different personality and path from other couples) and with 4 episodes left. They tried with their acting. Were proved wrong and more and more people are realizing the characters paths and the acting choices and praising. They tried with their looks. Made them look bad instead. So they tried with lies and look what they got back on their faces...a glorious triumph. So, have a great time. Be a fan and just be happy, enjoy without worrying, without comparisons. Some people are so bitter that they just don't want to like anything. It's their loss.

Man this sucks

Cohost will become read only on October 1st, and will shut down and be deleted on December 31st. Genuinely sad to see it going, it was a cool alternative to Tumblr, merits and blemishes and all(

I still don't know how to improve the quality of my illustrations ksksksks

[arctic-hands]

My parents were shit to me as a kid but I'm like one hundred percent sure they never read my diaries, at least because I would have been in a hell of a lot more trouble if they had

Anyway I don't care how stellar your record as a parent is or how you're justifying this invasion, if you read your kid's diary without their consent you're an automatic piece of shit and your child has every right to never trust you again

[pocketgalaxies]

okay no bc i agree w you on this. there’s too much Plot happening AROUND the pcs right now that’s just the nature of where the story is at rn but it feels like they aren’t really leading the story so much as being dragged along it and being told what to do. and also we have just ended up with a party that would all rather sacrifice themselves for each other than have one (1) conversation about their real feelings. before all the ludinus stuff like properly kicked off it felt more like they were leading. but since they went to the moon idk it hasn’t really felt like much has happened bc the party was looking for it. also i miss delilah fr she could be counted on for some inter party drama fr

yes exactly!!! delilah most reliable juicy drama instigator fr. the fact that it took one (1) hour for delilah to be ostensibly neutralized for-fucking-ever is the cherry on top of the most disappointing cake ever

esp as someone who's been watching c2 at the same time it's just wild to compare. in c2 it feels like most everything is happening as a direct result of the m9's interference, and m9 is doing those things bc they want to and decided to, for their own personal reasons. this recent stretch of c3 episodes has legitimately been like 8 hours of level 20 npcs telling bh what to do and bh going "ok. thank u for telling us what we're doing next and also for letting us do something" it feels so shallow. and this is episode ONE HUNDRED AND SIX. m9 was turning the tide of the war on their own terms in like EPISODE FIFTY. *SHAKES THE NEAREST PERSON'S SHOULDERS* DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SAYING

I will say a thing frustrating me about the reaction to the epilogue is how chako is being treated. People reducing her as a prize being won (which I see on both sides heck tbh see it more on the hater side cause they use it as a criticism) ignores the fact a decent amount of the chapter is showing the work she's put in to help kids like himiko.

Girly did not work her ass off traveling the country to singlehandedly fix xmen Japan's mental health issues and earn money to improve her and her family's life to have people reduce her down to her romance esp when that's such a small part of the chapter.

Like while horikoshi ain't exactly a feminist (like at all) but ppl reducing her to that which isn't even textual is misogynistic. Like I did not see ppl comparing ochako to hinata bruh.

Hello!!! I understand your frustration, I share the same feeling since Ochako is one of my favorite characters. Although there are good parts in the extra chapter (like her helping a child fit in), there are also bad parts. that's kind of undeniable.

Ochako had a huge evolution during the series, I was very happy in the timeskip when she opened her agency and traveled around the country to help everyone and how she learned to deal with her feelings. But in the leaks, she underwent a drastic change, almost as if she hadn't learned anything.

You say that romance was a small part of the chapter, but from the first take where she's dreaming about Toga the chapter basically only talks about that (in the most peculiar way possible). How she wants to talk more with Izuko and how she can't stop thinking about himiko again

All of these things were what bothered me the most because she's so out of character, but since this extra chapter was drawn by Horikoshi's assistants (I saw this information on twitter, but please let me know if I'm wrong), makes sense not to be as canon-compatible

You also say that people reduce Ochako to a "just romance" and unfortunately that's true, despite during season seven and the timeskip we can see that she's no longer 15 years old and that she's not just that

BUT, thus extra chapter did exactly that. We didn't really see her agency (which was actually the smallest part of the chapter), we don't even see her take action on this situation. We just saw her dreaming about himiko after years and really wanting to date izuko... of course, in the end everything somehow works out, even if Himiko has to literally push her into this romance (which honestly i think is ridiculous, they could have created many ways for her to be with Izuko but they chose this one)
