Nice to see some journalists using their noggins and reading between the lines.

alright, so this is more so loosely related to these two posts i’ve made that are similar in subject. i really don’t know how i keep making these, but goddamn it, it’s happening yet again. my love for stolitz and fizz/ozzie aside, the whole “sticking to the same species” trend that’s always had this weird undercurrent here is... it’s just genuinely bizarre to me? and some people just don’t really take notice of it? maybe i’m slightly looking too deep into it, but… like…
when it’s just blitzø/fizz, i can understand its appeal. it isn’t really my main ship, i like it more so for the fact it was a teenage crush blitzø had on fizz, and the pain that it went unsaid. could it have been possible fizz felt the same? maybe? we’ll never know because that’s in the past now, and that’s fine. it doesn’t have to be some big thing where they slowly get back together. they’re moving on with their lives and reconnected as friends, and they have their own current love interests. but the “oh, it’s healthier” or "THE CHEMISTRY IS STRONGER" thing. that’s when it goes from some innocent “what if” to… obnoxious, almost. irksome.
blitzø’s childhood sucked, and when moving on from the past, one must make peace with it and accept that they can’t have any of what they wanted now. that includes, well, the obvious! like, explore and move onto new things. and i’ve said it before, i’ll say it again: stolitz is about overcoming the toxicity through slow burn. both have to sift through their flaws as individuals before endering a healthy relationship together. that includes prejudices, which… is why the same species thing is just so WEIRD. why should blitzø be solely with an imp or hellborn of a similar caste? why can’t he go for something grander? because it’s “above him”? what happened to bridging gaps and overcoming class differences?? fizz and ozzie didn’t give a shit about any of that!
but sure, let’s pair him with… uhhhh… the imp hybrid that’s a supremacist, and sees literally almost every other imp as inferior to him and just has a lot of weird internalized hatred that he’s never gonna cope with (striker is definitely a hyrbid and is upset he looks more imp than whatever other demon he is partially mixed with; my bets are he’s part shark bc his eyes have spirals like crimson's gay bodyguard) and told blitz, “you’re the least suckish imp” like! such a healthier option amirite. as if being both equally oppressed means they must be together / healthier, like… i can’t. i mean, at least with fizz, that’s his childhood friend and didn’t pull the shit striker did-- and i like striker but let’s not kid ourselves, guys… i can admit when i’m hypocritical, but the delusions i’ve seen. damn.
regarding blitzø and fizz, it’s just kind of going back to square one. starting over in a lukewarm manner.
then there’s what I call a definite example of this bizarre trend: Vassago and Stolas. So I’ve mentioned it before my own gripes with the rebound idea and the "Oh this is a alternative that's healthier" which is a certified way to not get me on a side of a new ship. I never really dug deep into the same species angle outside of how it would derail Stolas' character development. So here's where I dig into it as a treat thanks to a certain person who’s basically backed up the previous posts I made in spite of the bullshit that's going on.
in spite of the whole, you know, “overcome prejudice” arc... people push for stolas to be with another bird demon so badly. it’s never really diving into repercussions, what their personalities are like together, how do they rub off on each other-- how they develop together or individually as a result-- but it’s more so a surface level, “they look nice together.” and don’t give me “vassago’s a nice guy!” because then why the hell wouldn’t there be more stolas x ozzie since ozzie’s a little more cordial to stolas than most are, i’d presume? (a stretch but bare with me) cool, parrot dude is nice-- what else is there.
oh yes-- aesthetically, color blending wise, it looks good. where’s the spices? you can’t cook a meal without key ingredients. a relationship doesn’t work because they’re a similar species and one of them could be nice to the other. or even that they just know each other. relationships don’t begin with just that. and then there’s the “they have the same lifespan argument” except not really because vassago is 50, stolas is 36, so no it’s not even a same lifespan. and even then, people ship immortals with mortals all the time?? why are some of you being so weird about this one time there’s a certain type of immortal/mortal ship???
if this doesn’t apply, then let it fly. but there is definitely some that apply to this and i feel it’s such an odd trend. stop trying to make them all stick to their own species.

The more I watch the "Two hours later" scene at the airport, the more I'm starting to believe it could actually be the actual continuation. What if Fyodor somehow did something to prevent Fukuchi to actually die? What if Fukuchi himself tricked Fukuzawa into thinking he was leaving everything in his hands? What if Fukuchi in the new outfit is the result of an ability? (Maybe Agatha's)
I've been reading that "Knight Akutagawa" could be one from another universe. Actually, I feel like it's just OUR Akutagawa, because Atsushi looks genuinely surprised to see him on the battlefield. Maybe he wasn't expecting him to be himself yet. The whole "Just the two of us?" "Do we need someone else?". I feel like Atsushi probably was expecting the "worst" from him, since he tried to attack him (again, as a vampire), and hearing THOSE WORDS gave him hope. He was genuinely relieved. Probably he thought Akutagawa wouldn't come back yet (or at all), but when he did, they fought TOGETHER again.

i can't believe they didn't include that scene where Hange storms in, steals a lollipop from levi's stash, and runs away yelling "HEY LEVI, DEDICATE YOUR CANDY!! HAHAHAHAAH"
i mean i understand they want to keep some material for the Season Finale Extra Special Part 23546768.. but i cannot wait!!!

i'm so sad, i think my fave comfort dinluke fic was deleted??? 😭😭😭
i swear i bookmarked it! but i'm just not finding it anymore.
it was a very cute fic where Din and Luke were married the whole time, like because Luke found Din bleeding on the Tatooine desert and had to take off his helmet and to do so they got married before Din passed out and then they kinda have this long distance relationship, then they meet again on Gideon's ship and the go "Din??" "Luke??" lol; i really wanted to read it again, but i'm not fiding it
i tried to look through my ao3 history as well, but i still didn't find it. did it really got deleted or i'm just blind and not finding the fic? lol
edit: it was a really fluffy fic that was an oneshot that didn't belong to a series. i don't remember if it started with Luke rescuing Din and Grogu and then it went through flashbacks to show how they got married or if it started in the past and then showed us the present
i just remember that after they got married on Tatooine, they kept in touch via holocalls, Din sometimes went back to Tatooine to visit Luke, then when Luke's farm gets attacked he warns Din to not go back to Tatooine. then Luke loses his hand to Vader and Leia calls Din so Din goes there to comfort Luke and stuff, and then they had to part ways again and then finally they meet again with Luke rescuing them; and all this time Luke forgot to tell Din that he was a Jedi lol
but yeah, i'm starting to be sure this fic got deleted :/
edit2: IT HAS BEEN FOUND!!!!!
thank you so much @woodox-earthtaurus i owe you my life /hj
it's so weird, tho. the fic is still not showing up on my bookmarks or on my dinluke collection, but when i go to edit the bookmark everything is right, so idk what's happening :(
here it is the fic that gave me a heart attack:
