#It was absolutely atrocious. Tastes like the death of a thousand childhood dreams.

3, 6, 9, 16 for the violence ask?

HELLO

HI!!

3. screenshot or description of the worst take you've seen on tumblr

Oh god well I don't have a screenshot but, one that comes to mind quickly was basically some person insisting that Furuta was somehow a good person who didn't actually do anything besides the misogyny and My Friend Did We Read The Same Manga. I'm 90% sure it was a byproduct of the "your blorbos must be morally justified" era of fandoms but WOW. He has decent reasons, but he still commits terrible atrocities that are not by any means excusable and he's aware of that. He's making himself into a Saturday morning cartoon villain, and it's an active decision? Honestly I'd rather see him be misinterpreted as the shallow force of evil he paints himself as, because at least that conclusion makes sense. How do you even get there.

6. which ship fans are the most annoying?

This fandom has really mellowed out in its old age but I'd honestly just say either of the two big Kaneki ships (Touken, Hidekane) not because I hate their fans or anything, but just because they're the only ones I've seen stir up ship arguments At All in my brief time here. People have all been pretty respectful of each other's pairings from what I've witnessed, because beggars can't be choosers. These two pairings are the worst of almost no annoyance whatsoever. Certain things aren't my cup of tea, but no one's forced anything on me in my time here. The most controversy on this blog was the old man chronicles and honestly I didn't really care about that. Aro headcanons can be important to people, and understandably! There's such little representation.

9. worst part of canon

The constant trauma being piled on everyone that makes it feel almost cartoonish and unrealistic because almost no one responds to those events like they should unless it's convenient, and wishywashy takeaway. "We're all deserving of a life!" (Unless you're a problem.)

16. you can't understand why so many people like this thing (characterization, trope, headcanon, etc)

Soulmates, but that might just be because every one I've read feels like an excuse for lack of chemistry. It's cool when it's not a literal thing, like "We keep being brought together, almost like I was meant to fall in love with you" but once it turns into actual law of how that world functions, "Your name is written on my heart and I am incapable of loving anyone else because the laws of this AU dictate it so" it feels odd. There are so many cooler things to do with stuff like that.

I had the most disgustingly artificial strawberry of my life while writing that last one and I think it influenced the tone.
