#It's on this blog because they're specifically for self inserting so they go here

[kakusu-shipping]

I forgot to post this

I’ve been working on Pokemon Sonas lately. I don’t know what I’m going to do with it once I pick one out, but they’re fun to draw.

[do-you-ship-it-polls]

Following this blog is making me realize I really don't think I get what makes shipping appealing to most people.

Like, whats all this about character dynamics being more important than gender? How do you get invested in and want to see a relationship if your not attracted to at least one of the characters? Are there really straight dudes and lesbians out there reading / watching yaoi & straight girls and gay dudes out there reading / watching yuri?

Also not sure why people get invested in ships between characters that basically never interact or both have incompitable orientations or especially one where both have a mutual hatred of each other in canon.

Like, unless it has the potential to appeal to a very specific kink or fetish I have, I think almost all the ships I've submitted here involve at least one character that canonically has a one-sided crush or attraction to the other.

Is this the reason people think im a pedo for shipping child characters with eachother :(

If you need to find at least one of the characters attractive, it probably means you're shipping in a self-insert way, or like... to wank to them or something. I think most people just like exploring character dynamics in writing, their imagination or art.

That's also why it's so much fun to ship enemies together. There's so much more to explore when you think about the path they would need to go on in order to date, rather than a couple that are already attracted to eachother. At least in my opinion. (And enemies tend to follow the same patterns that people with crushes do, since they're obsessed with the other person). Light and L want eachother dead or in prison and they are probably the most popular death note ship because of it. Those two think about eachother 24/7.

And for characters that don't interact in canon, it's fun to imagine "what could have been" or what could happen post-canon, pre-canon etc. And sometimes it's just for fun. Shipping in general is just for fun and doesn't have to be taken seriously.

And if we're going into my personal experience - i'm mostly attracted to men but I think yuri is fun to read/watch. I also like gay romance, and sometimes straight romance. Romance is romance. yknow. It helps to imagine that heterosexuality isn't the default for everyone. A lot of writers miss out on good pairings because they make their characters strictly hetero. (just a personal opinion, writers choices should be respected, etc etc)

It just sounds like you're shipping with your hand down your pants.

(Also if anyone wants to respond to this, please write a comment or a reblog instead of sending me an ask!)

[gacha-incels]

TBH

Looking at the CN gacha space right now, Situation may get even worse with current “有男不玩” ("If there is men, [I] don't play") movement in CN. They basically want devs to kneel to their demand to get rid of female MCs (only male MCs are allowed for self-insert) and all playable males, so "stinky female dogs" (as they refer to female players) stay away from their games. Also they emphasize, that they are "Number One" paying costumers and don't want their money to be wasted on creating content for female playerbase.

And we kinda see that happening ... I guess? correct me if I'm wrong

My friend told me if this goes on : in the next 1 to 2 years, all gacha will be all female cast aka the female players will flock away while incels stay.

Which for me : I doubt it's permanently but i won't be surprised?

Also Why when it comes to gacha incel I see it's always CN and KR? I tought JP had incels? or they're just the least vocal insufferable?

Edit- here’s some more info thx to @megafreelyfuzzystudentthing-blog ! “mixed toilets” is crazy. this type of misogynist gamer male is everywhere they just freak out about different things, while I think their level of hatred and vitriol towards women remains the same.

in regards to if we are seeing that right now, the majority of these games have been created with a male target market in mind for years and I don’t think there’s been an overwhelming change in the market with regards to that. I think even one game like Genshin being very successful and having multiple male banners in a row and male character designs that the men playing hate while being mixed sex is enough for these guys to think they’re “losing” this no girls allowed gacha playground, so they bug out and act like every gacha now has a feminist mandated fanservice male character they release every other patch for women. but because of the overwhelming success of GI, this shows the greater market it’s worth it to invest in getting female fans, and this is what these men are afraid of. this is also why they specifically use Genshin as the “Genshinification” of gacha, meaning adding male characters that appeal to women and making a mixed sex gacha. So in order to deter this from happening any further, they have to cause a big enough ruckus so that studios think “it’s not worth it to have to deal with all of this,” the end goal being gacha remains a separated boy’s club. this is just a basic read of the situation for anyone who is unfamiliar. It’s disgusting the way they talk about women but I think this is also the reason they emphasize how much more money they have and spend. But the way you write about it, do you see them ramping up tactics significantly? I’m interested.

edit lol I just saw this 💀 I would think things like bot spamming and AI use are going to become much more frequent. the second post talks about this so I added it. It’s kind of just gossipy but it talks about botting and the attitudes there. the hate they have specifically for this character is fucking unbelievable. I looked up this story since these guys were fucking losing their minds and everything seemed so benign. but the thing is he’s still used as a main character in stories and events so this type of freakout doesn’t do shit…and it seems like they’re able to remove the bot comments and mass one star reviews after a while anyway? maybe if the company was smaller. when I check the revenue it still seems to be making a huge amount of money

In the next 1-2 years in terms of tech it looks like the trend will be new 3D gachas and more 2D gacha studios transitioning to 3D. for the companies making the switch to 3D I think it could go fine or it will be like what happened to some actors with the transition from silent films to talkies. designs will depend on how much money has been invested and predicted to be made. From what I’ve seen it kind of looks like more of the same, either all female or all female with a couple male characters. this is typical. jiggle physics when a woman breathes like wuthering waves, “feet quality increase update” like snowbreak or another Arknights game you can say is just different than other gachas (jk). none of this looks like a huge shift in either direction but idk i could be totally wrong and something crazy could happen. let me know if I’m missing anything but this is the kind of thing I’ve been seeing.

in terms of this blog, right now it primarily focuses on the South Korean gacha incel phenomenon, I only started looking into this Chinese incel movement wrt gacha because I was able to find a little more information in English and I was curious but it isn’t a focus or mainstay. I haven’t put much here from Japan because I typically don’t check out their social media that much and like China it isn’t a focus, but off the top of my head I remember the FGO fans going after artists on twitter if they didn’t like the way a character was drawn, like sending congratulations to an artist that his father had died and that he deserved it??? After this he deleted his social media I believe, it was the artist for Parvati. Stuff like that. They have that otaku idol culture and I’m not sure if that bleeds into the gacha scene but I would think that would be the type of crossroads where you would find this gacha incel behavior. I hope this was a helpful answer and not just me rambling lol I’m always worried about this

Hello everyone that comes across this blog :D I'm Glitz, ( @glitzwashere | She/They/It ) welcome to my Bakugan BP Oblivion AU's dump blog! Where I either reblog stuff, ramble, actually post art (sometimes reblog from my main) or post a random incorrect quote I have saved in my notes because I spam the incorrect quotes generator too much.

This is my self indulgent passion project I have been brainstorming and working on for... quite a while now (4 years? pretty sure) and since I didn't do anything on my other blog dedicated for it I deleted it and went "might as well do something" so here we are now.

please note posts in this blog will include

A bunch of headcanons

My favourite ships

Oc x canon ships

ocs in general

Mentions of violence (incorrect generator loves those for some reason)

uh, swearing

Heavy themes (I will tag individual posts accordingly)

And a bunch of other stuff that you'll probably figure out later on

If you are going to harass me about any of the headcanons or ships then please kindly get off my blog and/or block me. I'm not dealing with that, I'm just trying to have fun here.

I made this cause if I don't dump my ideas I'm going to explode into a million pieces then die, but at the same time don't expect me to post much I am very inconsistent so uhhhh send help.

ALSO!!! I have this thing called character specific asks! They're nothing special but basically, you ask a question and I sort of role play the character you ask! I won't do it for all asks, but if you would like to do this just put Character Specific Ask: [insert character here] and ask away! Nothing weird though! (all of these will be based post-Oblivion so be wary)

Anyways I hope you all enjoy this little passion project blog, feel free to interact and send me asks or like anything really!! I'd be so happy to talk to you all about Oblivion!!

[luckystarchild]

The irony of people jumping your shit for promoting the "Oc agenda". Lol. Lmao, even. Like, yes, we do love Ocs here. Yusuke may not be mine or your or anyone's Oc except Yoshihiro Togashi's, but we do like him. Same with Kuwabara, Kurama, Hiei— All of these wonderful characters are neat *Ocs* and I'm down for you promoting them in your "agenda". Any other Ocs that you throw into the Oc hotpot are like extra seasoning, and if people can't handle the added spice then it's on them to not eat it.

Thank you! Great points!!!

In the end, backlash to innocuous comments about fandom are most often a form of self-consciousness on display.

People come to fandom for validation. When they think they're about to get validation, and then they don't, it makes them feel insecure about their preferences. They take innocuous comments personally because they perceive them as a value judgment, even if they are not intended to be so.

When people mock OCs in front of me, I just mute or block and move on with my life. I don't engage. I see it all the time, but I don't let it impact me. I don't let it drive me away from a fandom. (And I do not reach out to blogs who haven't expressed interest in OCs for recommendations or validation, either.)

We have to curate our own experiences. If people don't like ocs, they are free to curate a fandom space that does not have them in it. It's no skin off my nose, and it should be no skin off their noses if I decide to curate a fandom space that does not include shipping canon characters.

I don't know that anyone's noticed this, but I intentionally left off the shipping tag when I made that post. I did not want to put my opinions into that specific space within the fandom. I have a right to express myself on my blog, but I wasn't about to inject my opinion directly into the tag when I knew I wasn't validating the emotions of the people within it. That's why it's very odd to me that people are interpreting what I said as negative, because I took multiple active measures to make sure I was honoring people who do like that ship, and I avoided talking about the ship itself very much on purpose. But if people want to interpret what I was saying in a really negative way, or as a targeted value judgement of their preferences, that's on them. If they want to commit themselves to anger, that is their right.

I'm just going to be over here writing myself shameless insert fics and letting judgments roll off my back, because as a self-insert writer, that's what you have to do to survive.

[greatesteagle]

I may be a tad confounded about my present situation, but I refuse to let it be said that I do not make the most of my situations! Perhaps I may discover here the thing that has long eluded me.

You may call me Resh'an. I humbly request your patience as I learn the details of this world--but rest assured, I would love to discuss anything with any of you!

{{ OOC under cut! }}

warning: i'm wordy. you don't have to read this whole thing, but i'd appreciate it if you at least skimmed the bold parts!

hiiii it's eve (22, any pronouns), mun of @lopunnears & @snowpointmailguy back at it again with another sad gay immortal. besides that though the tone of this blog is going to be pretty overwhelmingly different from my previous blogs in voice and storywise! they're also entirely separate. a few notes before i get to my guidelines:

this is a faller pokemon rp pokeblog for resh'an of sea of stars, or more broadly, the shared multiverse of the games made by sabotage studios (so, also including the messenger, as well as the ARG they run on twitch and discord). due to the already-complicated multiverse within the series, please consider anything resh'an says about the specifics of the canon multiverse to be somewhat modified/alternate universe so that the pokeblog can work in concept. also because new stuff is going on every day. thank you!

also relevant to the above: he is, at this point in time, pulled from a pre-canon canon point, but he's already countless years old at that point. spoilers for the direct events of the game not present, but general information spoilers may be. anything that i think may fall into spoiler territory will be tagged as #sos spoilers. there will be no messenger spoilers.

final comment on canon material: the game has an upcoming dlc and the saboverse as a whole is unfinished, so i reserve the right to do soft-retcons of information he's given out, or pull him forward in canon at anytime; there will be announcements of anything important

aaand he's an old man from a fantasyland he doesn't know how to pronouns in bio but, you know. resh'an uses he/him. someone please tell him to pronouns in bio. also he's canonically gay.

ok. now time for rules/boundaries:

there will be no explicit sexual content on this blog, ever. violence (and rare gore) may be present, but will be tagged if necessary. the general rating of this blog is pg13; mun and muse are both adult, but any mun or muse of any age is welcome to follow/interact.

i'll interact with any kind of pokeblog or pokemon-verse rp blog that participates in pokeblogging with a soft exclusion of self-insert fallers. the reason i specify soft exclusion is because i'm not necessarily drawing a hard line on this, but i need you to message me beforehand and confirm with me, the mun, in conversation, that ic / ooc interactions will not hurt you, the real person. i take the ic / ooc divide seriously and want to minimize the risk of hurting your real feelings. resh'an's opinions will not always be in alignment with mine. i like writing fictional conflict--not hurting people!

i do my best to tag any major/common triggers but if you need something specific tagged please let me know. things that may appear on this blog are: detailed descriptions of body horror (images will always be cartoony/in the game's style, if present), mentions of experienced homophobia*, and some very grey morality around ideas of sacrifice.

*unlikely to come up unless relevant in discussion, but while the details are vague it's canon that resh'an lived in a society where his being gay was not accepted, and he may mention it if it's relevant to the discussion at hand.

Hot Take: Jack and Bitty are good for each other. Y'all are just mean LMAO

YEAH YEAH YES GOOD I LOVE THIS

fandom is just one hermeneutic cycle of being an anti until arguing for the ship that's on the front of the book cover becomes a hot take again!!

ok so (looks straight at camera) im a confessed zimbits-snarker, right? hate those guys. fuck those guys. BUT. i would love to play devils advocate for *checks notes real quick* the most popular pairing in the fandom for a minute. watch me, i'm about to do the mental gymnastics meme where both the top and the bottom just say "zimbits good"

one thing i think that draws people to zimbits is the aspect of wish fulfilment. with bitty serving as the reader-insert, it's easy to see why: bitty begins the comic as a fish out of water to college hockey, he undergoes the journey of being integrated into the group and learns to be part of its larger culture. add to that that Jack is literally set up as a handsome prince with a dark mysterious past who serves to sweep up Bitty and usher him off into the sunset. the author has even said that Jack specifically has to fulfil certain hunk duties as eyecandy. its cute! whats not to love! another thing that intrigues me specifically is that zimbits kind of starts out as enemies to lovers. me at age something-teen reading Check Please for the first time, seeing tall dark and handsome year 1 asshole jack yell at Bitty? i was like "oh i need him carnally", and evidently so did Bits.

Next, coming from the Jack side of things, it's just such a cozy concept for the ending of his character arc, right? After all these years of torturing himself, here is finally someone who is just willing to shower him in affection, who loves nothing more than to dote on him and bake him homemade pie, which is a very fitting image for the domesticity that jack could use after the fuckery that is his Icarus arc.

Another thing that I would love to see explored more is how Bitty's and Jack's stories end up falling in parallel when it comes to their upbringing. Both of them feel like they can't live up to being their fathers, which neither of their fathers necessarily want of them, but it's a sort of self-imposed expectation for both of them. As a woman who is certainly "my father's daughter" i find that very relatable.

Now here's where I'm gonna come in with my own hot take and say that, Jack and Bitty are good for each other– for a while. And that's okay. When I read their relationship, it always gives me the sense that here are two people who found each other at very pivotal points in their lives (i mean whats more epitomic of the college experience than that) and who profit from each other's company while they're going through that growing process. They work because first and foremost they're each other's friends. I think in year 2 this is especially evident when the buildup to their romance happens. Bitty cares about Jack's safety, his happiness. Jack wants to give Bitty what he can to make him happy.

When I think about where I see them in the future I always think, like. Happily divorced. There's a scene in Company by Sondheim where Peter and Susan, a sexually repressed guy who lusts after the protagonist and a southern belle ray of sunshine, get a divorce and it's the best thing that's ever happened to them. I rewatched the 2006 revival recently and at that scene I went "oh shit that's them. that's zimbits". At one point the protag asks Peter where he's gonna live now that they're divorced and Peter says like "Right here. I got Susan and the kids to take care of, I would certainly never leave them?" And obviously the scene is highly facetious and satiristic, but I think it's emblematic of how I see their relationship work out. They're probably not longterm compatible romantically but they'll still have each other's backs.

At least until Jack finds out about the vlog.

Idk I don't think there's anything to rate here. Zimbits good is a scorching hot take on this blog. To ME.

tips to make your fanfic more accessible (1/?)

When it comes to writing reader insert characters, or even original characters that are meant to be broadly relevant to your audience, it's important to write in a way that doesn't exclude people with marginalized identities from reading and connecting with your work. Everyone deserves to feel loved and represented! Since fanfic is an escape for so many of us, it's so crucial that the language we use is accessible and embraces the variety of people who might be reading your fic.

Disclaimer! I am a white, cis, plus size woman, and I would hate to misrepresent something, or leave things out, so I would LOVE to hear from some Black, BIPOC, trans, and/or minority readers about things that make you uncomfy/take you out of the story. I can add them to this post w/ credit, or you can comment below :)

Physical appearance:

-A big one here is hair. Not everyone has a hair texture or style that someone can lovingly comb their fingers through. Some readers (for extremely valid reasons, including the fact that in some contexts it can be rooted in racism) might not like the idea of a fictional character putting their hands in the reader's hair!

-The fix: think about what you're trying to convey with the action of hair-touching. Is it affection? Closeness? Foreplay? Could the character stroke the reader's hair instead of running their fingers through it? Could they trace the reader's ears?

-Another big one! Body ody ody! There's so much to say here, but I'll start with shape and size. Not everyone will be able to fit into their favourite fictional character's clothes. And for some plus size folks, it is just not realistic for a character to pick them up and throw them around. I love my body, and I don't know a single fictional character who would be able to lift me! This isn't embarrassing or asking for compliments, it's just my bodily reality.

-The fix: what terms do you use to describe the reader's body? Are they exclusive or implicitly biased? Is your reader lithe, with long legs and "a handful" of breast tissue? Is someone throwing your reader around like a sack of potatoes, or pinning them up against a wall, with no additional support?

Ability:

-This is a self call-out as well, but I've noticed that there aren't a lot of multi-chapter fanfics which include characters with disabilities. This is tricky, as I think a lot of writers might not necessarily have lived experience with needing mobility aids, or things like blindness and deafness, etc. I don't necessarily think that able-bodied writers should be attempting this, but it's something to think about.

-The fix: Could your character achieve their movements with a prosthetic limb? How might they experience things differently if they're overstimulated? Uplift fic writers with disabilities and diverse lived experiences! Reblog their work!

Sex and gender:

-This one is also a bit complex because writers might not know exactly where to start when it comes to writing someone with a different gender identity, or mode of presentation. Especially when you're writing explicit sex scenes, I think it's okay to write things with a specific anatomy in mind, as long as you're clear about who you're writing for from the outset (e.g. character x fem!reader in the chapter notes or A/N).

-Not everyone who likes being called "good girl" has breasts and a vagina. Some men don't have penises. Trans and intersex people exist and are incredibly LOVED and CHERISHED on this blog. <3

-The fix: If you're writing a fic where anatomy is less important, go for gender neutral terms of endearment, and gender neutral pronouns. Maybe switch things up and try writing a reader character with a different gender identity to your own!

_________________________________________________

TL;DR- 1) Uplift fanfic by underrepresented communities (this can vary by fandom, but queer/LGBTQ+, BIPOC, disabled, and neurodivergent authors are a great place to start!)

2) Do an accessibility proofread- does your reader have any characteristics that aren't broadly applicable to readers? Are these characteristics essential to the plot?

3) If you're part of a minority community, embrace the things that make you unique! Let writers know if they're excluding you. Or as a writer, write yourself down. Produce some of the representation that you can't find elsewhere (if you feel up to it).

4) Write from a place of love. We love what we write about, whether it's characters, story worlds, or one bed tropes. Extend that love to all of your readers :) <3

[the-nimbasa-trio]

Hello! Mod Comet again!

For this blog, we're doing this thing where we will draw your sonas/self inserts/ocs etc to appear as in the blog! @tinyfieryghost has a self insert already since I know them, but if you want to submit an appearance (even for anons, you just have to tag the anon as a specific tag to let us know who you are), you can reblog this post or submit it in our submission box!

Here are the rules for appearances, self inserts, etc. There aren't many, to be fair, but it's just to make sure that nothing gets out of hand :)

No sultry/NSFW appearances (don't expose breasts no matter the gender, no lingerie, etc. If a character has a big chest, that doesn't matter as long as its covered)

NO OVER COMPLICATED DESIGNS! It'll be a pain to redraw constantly. Don't do a billion patterns, or if you do patterns, make sure they're rather basic/not too many. The template below the cut has patterns for every clothes option, but that's only to give more options. It would be better if you don't do patterns for every single option.

You CAN be a Pokemon! No furries/scalies/etc, not because we don't support them, but furries/scalies/etc are really hard to draw LMAO. Human designs are preferred, but if you have the urge to become your favorite Pokemon, feel free, just no legendaries/mythicals. You can also have patterns not normally found on the Pokemon of your choice, but make sure it's simple and easy to redraw.

No magic besides very basic ones like M!A and everything I listed in the intro post. Even if you're a Pokemon, you can't use Pokemon moves.

A drawing of the OC/insert/etc is preferred, but a description works just as well! (Template for descriptions will be below the cut). Do NOT fill out every little bit of information because we need it to be simple. There's only a lot of options to allow for variety, but designs WILL be simplified if there's too much going on.

If it's a drawing and isn't using the template (you can use the template if it's a drawing, especially if the drawing isn't colored so we don't have to guess), put your preferred name and pronouns! I would like to avoid assuming!

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, DON'T BULLY THE ARTIST! They're doing their best and I love and adore them. If they do a design choice that you are not a fan of, just send a POLITE ask and we can change it for the next art piece! Please don't be aggressive. It will NOT be tolerated and, as the creator of the blog and protective over those I love, I won't hesitate to block anyone who is being aggressive. Depending on the severity, you can get off as a warning and a slap on the wrist, but I won't tolerate anything severe. I doubt it'll come to that, but be warned!

Introduction

Welcome! My name is Mel and this is my place to shout into the void about things I'm way too obsessed with. I'm in my 20s, female, pan(demi)romantic asexual and also autistic/ADHD as hell. I post about a variety of things but here are the fandoms you're most likely to see (in no particular order):

Pokemon/Pokeani

Ace Attorney

Bleach

Inuyasha

Animal Crossing

Stardew Valley

Love Nikki

Undertale

Other things to know about me:

Personal posts will be tagged as [#mel's musings].

I have two tags [#little songbird] and [#forest for the tree] for my OCs Sylvia and Denise, respectively. They're my two pseudo self-inserts reflecting different aspects of my personality that I can throw into whatever fictional universe I'm hyperfixating on in the moment for my own enjoyment. If you're curious I have overviews for each of them in this post—I'm somewhat selective about sharing plot details for the various AUs I have but if you have questions about the characters themselves I'm more than happy to answer them! I love my girls <3

In addition to the fandoms listed above I am also EXTREMELY autistic about music—I have a background in piano/classical singing and have been in choirs all my life since 4th grade. I have been bestowed with the blessed (and sometimes cursed) combination of absolute pitch as well as pitch-color synesthesia. The former is the ability to identify pitches without a reference note and the latter is a phenomenon where my brain associates certain musical keys with certain colors, temperatures and scenery among other things. It is a HUGE special interest of mine—ask me questions about it and I will literally love you until the end of time I'm serious. Even if it's as simple as sending me a song and asking what color it is or asking me for thoughts on video game OSTs because I have a LOT

A follow-up to the above point: I love all things music theory and analysis and whatnot but in my excitement I have a tendency to get a bit TOO technical sometimes. I will do my best to make things as accessible as possible in my personal posts or when answering questions directed towards me (unless you specify it's not needed) but if that's not your niche any posts of this nature will be tagged as [#music nerd shit].

BE WARY OF FOLLOWING IF:

You are weird about multishipping. I like many ships for many different reasons and there's a lot of overlap between characters (just as an example: for Ace Attorney I am primarily a Narumitsu/Wrightworth shipper but I also enjoy Krisnix, Feenris, Gumworth and Langworth and I will make posts about all of them). All ship posts are tagged as such but it's something to be mindful of

You dislike long tag ramblings. I tend to do that a lot, so if that's not something you can just Ignore than this blog may not be the place for you (side note: if my tags on a post ever don't make sense there's a decent chance I'm just having a conversation with one of my mutuals through tags because some of them Do That. Deal with it)

You are overly invested in pro/anti discourse. I have things that squick me out just like anyone else but if I see something I don't like I just block and move on.

HERE I GO BACK AT IT AGAIN

Help I spent too long making this at this point it's longer than some of my fanfics.

✨ANYWAYS✨

AvA/M shower thoughts.

I've been thinking about this one subconsciously for a while now, and I'm sure that this is an unanswered question in the fan base- Who's the real villains?

I feel like that information is vErY iMpOrTaNt because with that info, we can make better predictions on the future of the series.

Just so you know, this is the kinda stuff I'm thinking about because I don't have anything else to watch because animation takes a long time.

Most people in the AvA/M community would probably say that Dark and MT are villains, and they wouldn't be wrong, but I want to talk about the other possible antagonists.

The first one I'm going to talk about is PuRpLe, my fatherless chaos child. Before I start analyzing their character, I would first like to define a villain in the AvA/M series.

According to Oxford Languages, a villain is "a character whose evil actions or motives are important to the plot." I would also like to point out that the villains in this specific series has a common theme of taking things too far.

I feel like Purple fits both of these descriptions of a villain. While they had their reasons, that doesn't cover up the fact that Purple was a sidekick to MT, or that they also wanted to destroy Minecraft, and while they just wanted to help MT, that doesn't cover up the fact they tried to destroy Minecraft, helping MT take his revenge too far, just for the fun of it.

However, I wouldn't consider Purple as a villain currently in the series. In AvA 6, there's no sign of Purple or MT for that matter. They also seem to be keeping their distance from the color group, meaning they're not trying to push forgiveness on them. So I think that Purple used to be considered a villain, but now they're not.

Next, possibly the most confusing one in the entire cast is Chosen. A lot of animation memes on YouTube use the previously mentioned sticks above, but also use Chosen, probably because the beat either has 4 parts, or because it would be weird to have 2 characters from one series, while 1 from another (or both).

But is he actually a villain?

HE MOST DEFINITELY IS! Chosen's rampage with Dark was at least partly his idea, if not, fully his idea, which MOST DEFINITELY AFFECTED THE PLOT. He would also go with the theme of taking things too far by FREAKING KILLING ENTIRE CITIES FOR NO REASON. Bro's more of a chaos child than Purple, geez. He isn't even fully redeemed, BECAUSE HE LITERALLY KIDNAPPED HIS BROTHER, PUTTING HIM IN DANGER AND TRYING TO GET HIM TO USE HIS MOUNTAIN DEW POWERS, WHICH IN THEORY COULD GET HIM KILLED IF USED TOO EARLY.

Bro didn't just step past the line, he ran right past it.

Finally, I would like to talk about the creator with a self-insert himself, Alan.

DUN-DUN-DUNNNNNNN

He literally killed Vic FOR FUN. He enslaved Chosen because that stick DIDN'T WANNA BE KILLED.

Deleting a stick because they're trying to destroy your PC is one thing, but you couldn't have tried to talk to them?

Also, Alan's actions definitely affect the plot, if he didn't LITERALLY TRY TO KILL CHOSEN, most of AvA wouldn't have happened.

He's definitely playing favorites here.

Anyways, feel free to ask me stuff on my blog :)

This might be controversial but...I have this nagging thought...

There are always people here talking how lgbtq representation in fanfiction or fandon is often derided or unwelcome. I think that's pretty sad tbh and there are definitely a lot of trolls, bigots and all sorts of phobes out there.

But tbh, I think most average people are just tired of a particular type of lgbtq representative, and they seem to be everywhere, who forcefully insists that anyone not shipping m/m, anyone not going along with their trans headcanons, anyone who disagrees basically is a homophobe, bigot, terf etc. These people make preferences into a morality issue and I think other people are just tired of it and quietly leaving, not openly and enthusiastically cheering it on and sometimes just getting frustrated.

I was having a discussion on reddit the other day about something related to this and they said well, straight cis representation is like 99.9% of media so we (lgbtq) can have this one thing, and I said of course you can. You can have as much of it as you want in fandom but I don't like how cis/straight shipping gets shit on by these people. You don't have to tear something else down just to build yourself up. The vast majority of het shippers are just normal, nice people, just like the majority of lgbtq shippers but there are all these 'enlightened types' pushing their ships and headcanons and making it out like you're an enemy if you don't support them which is ridiculous.

I was lurking on a pretty big fanfiction forum a year or so ago and fanfiction hot takes came up and several people nervously put up their hand and said they wished there was more love for het shipping in fandom and fanfiction specifically, while doing huge long disclaimers that of course they love nd support the lgbtq community and are happy that all sorts of representation exists in fandom etc. And I think it's kinda sad that people feel they have to write this long disclaimer and pre-apologise for an opinion that's perfectly valid and innocuous because they're afraid of being vilified. If someone is cis/het it's not a crime for them to want cis/het content in their fandom, or for it to be viewed positively. Do you know what I mean? I'm sorry if I'm not explaining myself well -.-'

I feel like people are going to respond and say that cis/het stuff is already the majority but in fanfiction and shipping it's really not. And that's also not the point I'm trying to make. I'm trying to express frustration with people who think lgbtq orientated fan content is morally or in other ways superior to cis/het.

It even happens here. I remember when I first found your blog one of the very first asks I read was from someone acting quite smug and literally saying that het shippers are just superficial, horny self-inserters that want to seduce and bang the MC while they, a m/m shipper, were actually invested in plot and nuance and all those intelligent things that het shippers apparently don't get and that ask left a really bad taste in my mouth.

It's disheartening to see this kind of thing. Sorry again if I didn't express myself well. I'm just trying to say that if lgbtq representation in fandom space isn't getting recognition or people are avoiding it, an important reason might that people don't like feeling like they HAVE to support it or else...

--

It's ironic that you're sending this ask to me when one of the things I'm known for is compiling shipping statistics on FFN and Wattpad to prove that m/m is not the majority in fanfic fandom. This is one of my specific hobbyhorses. I find the constant spreading of this misinformation EXTREMELY ANNOYING.

Yes, there are lots of assholes going "ship my ship or you're not progressive", and they all suck, including the large number of them who yell at m/m shippers that we should ship het.

"I wish het ships got more love" is a fucking stupid opinion.

"I wish Wattpad had a functional search" or "I wish FFN weren't going down the drain" or "I wish the big het fandoms were less femsub" would all be perfectly reasonable takes that are based on actually seeking out het fandoms and hanging out with het fans. So would "I want more fellow hetshippers who have a queer sensibility but f/m ships". But for someone to act like there aren't massive het camps tells me they never bother to venture outside of their tiny bubble.

I have zero patience for fans who whine that their popular thing is unpopular because they're too lazy or clueless to go find all the zillions of other people who like it.

[ayuki-ikuya]

Know what I wanna do?

I wanna make self inserts into comics, games, etc because sometimes, you just wanna do something.

Like in Twisted Wonderland, you know when it becomes winter or the fairy gala happens, me being sensitive to extreme temperature changes causes my nose to bleed. It'd definitely shock Scarabia if I went there. But I can handle colder temperatures since I produce more heat than others, just a simple coat (preferably a rain coat) and I'm good to go all year long.

Or like in Ennead. I'd be cursing Osiris to Duat and back while playing Therapist to Isis, Set, Nephthys, Anubis and Horus.

I'd probably make a separate blog for this sort of stuff since this one is mostly for your enjoyment/satisfaction rather than my own (maybe yours too if you're interested).

But if people like this sort of idea and want specific blogs dedicated to a specific manhwa/game/anime then feel free to comment that. (Will be planning so if people like the idea.)

Here is a list of what I can do self inserts:

SPY × FAMILY

Demon Slayer

Twisted Wonderland

Identity V

ENNEAD

Solo Leveling

Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint

Webtoons (the author's of the webtoon on Webtoon will be credited)

Cookie Run: Kingdom (unfortunately will be doing human versions Cuz COOKIES ARE HARD TO DRAW)

Genshin Impact

Tower of Fantasy

Hazbin Hotel

Helluva Boss

So if you have taken to a liking to any of these, COMMENT YOUR THOUGHTS!!!

BTW, reason why I didn't want to try and do this without letting some people who like my content and/or drawings know is because some people who do self inserts or oc-inserts would be receiving hate for it. @honey-milk-depresso who I like teasing (despite not fully knowing each other) had several Anons talk crap to them due to them liking T**y a lot and doing inserts.

I really enjoy their content and support their works (even though they try to deny that they're a simp for a humanized clover card smh)

I highly suggest you check out their blog! I love the interactions they have with people and their drawings!

[the-drunken-huntsman]

1, 2, 4, 5, 17, 23, 29, 31, 48, 49, and 50 for the OC questions pls pls pls 💖🧡

1. Your first OC ever?

TES wise, Anais, of course. Actually ever is kinda unfortunate, it was a Hetalia OC I had in middle school before I knew what an OC was. She was a personification of Louisiana of course, lol.

2. Do you have a personal favorite among your OCs?

Idk if it's because she's my oldest OC or because she was supposed to be a self insert, but Anais has a special place in my heart. As far as my favorite character to play as in the game, definitely Reyvi. I always roleplay my characters, and she's the only one I can really just kill random people with and get into trouble with. The rest of them are such goody two shoes.

4. A character you rarely talk about?

I think I've mentioned them before or made a picrew or something for them but I've never really explained who Angaewynn is. First of all I created them specifically to ship with Gelebor because I love him and he deserves the world. Anyway they're an Altmer scholar, originally studying the Dwemer but eventually changed their focus to the ancient Falmer after moving to Skyrim. They're a master enchanter and joined the Dawnguard at the request of Sorine, a former colleague of theirs. After Anais, Teldryn, and Serana came back to Fort Dawnguard to tell everyone what had happened in the Forgotten Vale, they were like "Excuse me, a living Snow Elf? Take me to him immediately." And yeah :) I've also considered making them friends with my HOK before all this but of course I have to play the game first.

5. If you could make only one of your OCs popular/known, who would it be?

Oh jeez this is a hard one. Honestly because all of their stories are so interwoven I think if one were to become popular/well known, they kinda all would. However I have considered developing Dire into a non TES character in an original work :)

17. Any OC OTPs?

Every ship I have with my OCs is an OTP. Anais/Teldryn, Murza/Endurys, Reyvi/Dessa, Metja/Erik, Angaewynn/Gelebor, I love them all equally.

23. Introduce OC that changed from your first idea concerning what the character would be like?

Uhhh this question is worded really weirdly but i guess it means a character that's changed from my original idea for them? I guess the two that have changed the most are Anais and Reyvi. Anais because, again she was supposed to be a self insert but now she's just cooler than me in every way. Reyvi because I did originally want them to be more of a thief than an assassin but now I feel like when Brynjolf is like "Don't kill your marks, that's not our style," she's like you guys are boring, and then fucks off to the dbh.

29. Which one of your OCs would go investigate an abandoned house at night without telling anyone they're going?

Honestly, Angaewynn (god i need to come up with a nickname for them). They're often too caught up in their curiosity to consider the consequences, or that people will be worried about them.

31. Pick one OC of yours and explain what their tumblr blog would be like (what they reblog, layout, anything really)

Okay so "everything's the same but they also have social media" here, but Dire 100% runs a shitpost blog. His reblogs are mostly surreal/absurd type humor text posts and cursed images. He makes a shitpost for every daedra's summoning day, talking about what he's gonna ask them for when he summons them. His most popular post is from Vile's summoning day when he says he just gonna ask for a game of catch with his dad. If that's too much then he wants a talking dog too, c'mon dad, it's the least you can do after you forgot my birthday. People will also send him asks wishing for something and he'll jack them up genie style, but it's not malicious, more like that dude who does the photoshopping literally.

48. OC who is a perfect cinnamon roll, too good for this world, too pure?

I'd say Dire, but he's really more of a sinnamon roll. The one who's really a cinnamon roll though? Endurys. He's not a fighter in anyway, all he really wants is to make good music to make a mark on history and love his family.

49. Which of your OCs would most likely enjoy memes?

Aside from Dire, Metja has big younger millennial/older gen z vibes so I'm sure she'd love memes too.

50. Give me the good ol' OC talk here. Talk about anything you want.

Oh boy, I've actually come up with even more angst for Dire's backstory. Specifically about his birth mother. See, she really wanted a child, but didn't want to be married, so she went Vile to ask for a child. She originally offered to become a devotee in exchange for what she wanted, but he couldn't just make a child out of nothing. So instead he offered for the child to be his, therefore she would get the child she wants and he would have progeny on Mundus, win/win right? Well after just two years it became very apparent she was not equipped to raise a child with powerful, volatile magic, And if word got round that she'd made a deal with daedra, they'd likely both be killed. Giving him up was the hardest decision she ever had to make.

[babyybitchhh]

Just because someone isn't attracted to a person or character (who are of different ethnicities), doesn't mean they are racist. People have their own preferences in who they are attracted to. That doesn't mean they're racist. That's just their preference in who they are attracted to.

Okay, I’m not gonna allow this to turn into a big thing like the ass eating debate BUT I think you may have taken what I said a little too personally. That wasn’t directed at any one person or even certain groups of people, and I’m not of that opinion based off one or two specific individuals. Rather it’s fandom habits as a whole, and I’ve seen enough to know that by and large black characters are overlooked in favor of their lighter skinned counterparts. I mean, black characters show up so infrequently in Japanese media anyway (and their representation is ... another topic for another day) to the point where it really is easy to see this trend in action. Even if they hit ALL their charm points and have the looks to back them up, they still get mostly ignored. Why?

Heads up, I really got on my soap box with this one so feel free to keep scrolling

I actually saw a blog on here that was writing for Naruto who, with their whole chest, said they��d write for anyone except the Kumogakure characters (and Ino which, ew, I didn’t think someone with such terrible taste actually existed but 🤷‍♀️ here we are) and what do most of the Kumo ninja look like?

(I liked Omoi a LOT and Darui was nothing to shake your finger at either - and Mabui??? Good god, shes fucking gorgeous. Shikaku absolutely should have hit that while he had the chance, I know for a goddamn fact he was (respectfully) looking. )

But anyway I’m just not sure how you can look at something like that and not see color bias - and I used that wording very intentionally. Because even if you (that’s a general you) look at black or otherwise dark complexioned characters and decide they’re just not to your “preference” there’s still an underlying factor at play wherein, on a societal level, pale is touted as being attractive and melanin isn’t considered half as beautiful. It’s conditioned.

I have yet to see ANY self insert content for the above characters, or Ogun. I’ve seen VERY LITTLE for my man Avdol compared to the rest of the cast which, imo, is particularly telling because the Jojo fandom will even lewd a sadistic mold doctor (no shade, Ciccolata fans) but this absolute unit??

Only certain writers seem willing to take him on and me, personally, I’d rather see more smut of him than, say, Polnareff or Kira (no shade, stans)

Also I’ve seen maybe a handful of fics for Tosen PERIOD - not just self insert content - and half of that was pairing him with the big dog guy

Which is, again, indicative of a deeper issue considering how much thirst the light skinned characters generate by comparison.

And also someone I’d REALLY like to see self insert content for is Lock Rock, idk if it’s because he kinda looks like Eric Andre (man crush Thursday 🤪) or what, but I am feeling it

And don’t give me that “but he’s married and has a baby!” Bullshit when we’re out here lewding married man and father of four Enji Todoroki like we’re getting paid to do it. I want to see HC’s, smut, thirst, fics, something! Anything! Please!? (Seriously tho, does anyone have a hookup for ANY content of this man? 💀)

Now, don’t get me wrong here, I’m not innocent either. Ogun will be the first black character I personally write for but he’s not the first one I’ve found attractive nor do I glance over these characters based on their skin tone. If they’re hot, they’re fucking hot! Period!

And I think that’s what this boils down to, because even though you (still a general you) may not look at them and think “ew, they’re black”, if the color of their skin is the deciding factor for you then there is still a problem here.

Are you not attracted to that character because they don’t push your buttons right or is it ultimately because of their pigmentation?

Do you find yourself unattracted to every single black character you see, regardless of their facial features and other characteristics? (For example I’m not particularly attracted to Tosen but Lock Rock?? PHEW)

Ask yourself if there’s a single black person you DO find appealing.

I understand having preferences, I in fact have my own preferences, so that’s not the issue here. It’s also not “no one else is thirsting for Ogun, they’re all racist!” But rather “there is a very observable trend in fandom spaces where every character who appears to be black gets slept on and even if it doesn’t seem like racism on a surface level, the color bias absolutely exists on a broader spectrum and, yes, Ogun is definitely suffering from it”.

That’s it. I wasn’t calling YOU (you, specifically, anon) racist just because you don’t like Ogun, I’m saying that black people are consistently pushed aside in favor of light skinned people and it happens with alarming frequency even within fandoms which just goes to show how deep this issue actually runs. And that’s all just going off of how the CHARACTERS are treated, I haven’t even touched on how black readers/black artists/black writers are treated but then go ahead and amplify that to society as a whole and surely you can see why I’m going to call it what it is.

Plus I can almost guarantee that if Ogun had been “white” (I mean, he’d just be Shikamaru then but that’s neither here nor there cmdkxksksk) he’d have SOME content. Case in point, actual psychopath and certified star lord Rekka Hoshimiya even got thirst content from the fandom whereas the only black man in the series hasn’t gotten so much as a single HC. Trust me. I’ve scrolled to the bottom of his tag at least five times now. 💀

Literally the most I’ve seen is one or two people saying how attracted they were to Ogun and that’s it. A bitch literally cannot feed herself on such meager morsels, especially when Beni’s out here getting his 20th smut fic in a row - which is an impressive number for such a small fan base. Lmao Anyway my point here is that personal preferences are fine and dandy but when I can actually see the same trend repeating itself over and over, fandom after fandom ... there’s definitely something more than preference at play here. 🤷‍♀️

[just-like-playing-tag]

A totally self indulgent compilation of my favorite works on this blog of the year June 13, 2019 - June 13, 2020

I wanted to do this for the blog's first anniversary but then completely forgot about it lol.

The following lists are all in chronological order according to the date each post was first published.

Top 10 panel edits:

#1: Don and Gilda - Chapter 138: Demon serch (1)

Date: Jun 14th, 2019

Time: ~ 1:30 h

My very first redraw from my very first edit posted here, so it deserves an honorable mention. Back then I was young and inexperienced, I didn't even apply a gray filter (lmao I was so unskilled I even unintentionally scratched the picture, I hadn't realized until today). I'm actually very happy my first redraw was of Don, boy deserves all the love.

#2: Emma and Ray - Chapter 140: I’m Here!

Date: Jun 28th, 2019

Time: ~ 1 h

Back then this looked like so much work to me!!! And to this day, I think it turned out pretty well. I'm particularly proud of how the bow turned out. This is one I was really proud of right after having finished it; it gave me the confidence to try redrawing bigger areas. Also, the edit were I first applied the opacity of layer / opacity of brush for the gray filter that would have stuck with me.

#3: Krone's birthday edit

Date: Jul 15th, 2019

Time: 15 mins

I don't know I just really like how Krone's hair vanish to a more sketch-like style here– and consequently, how I managed to replicate such effect. I think Krone's beautiful.

#4: Emma, Norman and Ray - Chapter 153: Coward

Date: Oct 4th, 2019

Time: 4:07 h (and 67 layers lmao)

Probably the single panel redraw I'm the most proud of. That Norman panel was beautiful and very poignant at the end of a chapter I adored, so I believe it deserved all the time I've spent working on it. It's far from being perfect - the back of his head is too plain, and the difference between my brushes and the original brushes is pretty visible - but I still like it very much and am extremely attached to it. The horn looks kinda big but I honestly believe it to be more of an issue with the original than with what I had redrawn lol. Funny enough, the whole picture didn't make it to the final edit and had to be trimmed.

#5: Full Score Trio - Chapter 154: A Breakthrough

Date: Oct 11th, 2019

Time: 29 mins

I don't have a particular reason for this I just think Emma's hair turned out amazing. It took just half an hour and I didn't even use references like. Wow. @Redrawing skills where did you go please come back

#6: Mujika and Queen Legravalima - Chapter 158: The Reason I Was Born

Date: Nov 17th, 2019

Time: 2:09 h

Sis I love this so freaking much. The shift from redrawing almost exclusively people and clothes to redrawing this mess was so fun and refreshing. Even though it's a mess I think it turned out very clean and overall it looks beautiful? I remember after finishing this I felt so powerful, like now that I had redrawn this thing I would have been able to redraw anything I set my mind on lol.

#7: Emma - Chapter 161: Never Be Alone

Date: Dec 13th, 2019

Time: 57 mins

Again no particular reason except this is a very cute Emma and I think the redraw turned out pretty well. There's this big lock on the left that doesn't make a lot of sense but overall I really like it. Cute Emma is cute, and I love her determination.

#8: Emma - Chapter 166: Going Back Home

Date: Mar 9th, 2020

Time: 3:45 h

I'M SO FREAKING PROUD OF THAT RIFFLE I have not the slightlest idea why this took so damn long BUT I'M SO PROUD OF IT

#9: Norman's birthday edit

Date: Mar 21st, 2020

Time: 1:04 h

This is cool! I didn't know I could manage to draw this, but I did it! The feathers were particularly hard to clean but I think they turned out fine.

#10: Full Score Trio - Chapter 174: A New World (part 1)

Date: Apr 6th, 2020

Time: 2:11 h

I just think they're very pretty? I can't understand if I like Ray's face a lot, or not at all, but I think overall there was a lot to redraw and it turned out pretty cute! Sorry Gillian.

(Also insert pretty much every panel from the chapter 177 Isabella edit– I've spent so many hours on basically every panel there's no way I could choose only one).

Top 5 edits as whole:

#1: Emma and Ray - Chapter 140: I’m Here!

Date: Jun 29th, 2019

Complessive time: 2:57+ h

The very first edit I'm actually proud of; I'm really attached to it. It's the first edit I had put all of my effort into, and I remember feeling anxious people would have left it without notes. It kinda feels weird to think about it now, because I really don't care about notes anymore; yet, it somehow makes me happy to think that past-me wasn't let down. Thank you @neverlandstrio for your support, you may not remember but it really meant a lot to me back then! And it still makes me smile. You're the best!!!!!!

#2: Mujika and Queen Legravalima - Chapter 158: The Reason I Was Born

Date: Nov 20th, 2019

Complessive time: 7:12+ hours

This whole edit was an hella wild ride. It's midnight before a school day, when I think: "Mh, it's been a while since I last made an edit, why not make one about Musica and the queen from the last chapter?" And seven hours after this was born. I'm particularly proud of the queen's redraws on the 3rd, 7th and 9th picture (ofc), the areas which have been redrawn are pretty huge yet I think the difference with the original is almost impossible to notice?? @Redrawing skills where did you go please come back (part 2)

#3: Emma - Chapter 174: A New World (part 1)

Date: Apr 12th, 2020

Complessive time: 6:53+ h

I think the panels that were selected work very well together, especially considering the close-up / full body alternation. I love Emma, and I've always been kinda sad noticing that edits that focus one her take the less notes... She deserves all the love. Also, fun fact: for the last but one panel, I had redrawn Emma's whole left ear before remembering she doesn't have one, so I had to redraw the panel from the start. Besides from the error with the ear, the reason why this (and all the others after) took so long is because official panel take way longer to clean.

#4: Isabella and her children - Chapter 177: Mother

Date: May 22nd, 2020

Complessive time: 13:41+ h (ahah.)

Lmao tbh I can't understand how this has so few notes it's like. Technically speaking, probably the best edit I've ever done. I don't even like Isabella that much, I haven't got the slightlest idea why I decided to spend so many hours on this. Anyway, I find the composition (full body on the left / headshots on the right) really good looking in this as well! And I think the redraws turned out fine, especially Isabella's.

#5: The Promised Neverland manga ending countdown→ 1/7 chapters: chapter 1 - Grace Field House

Date: Jun 9th, 2020

Complessive time: 1:59+ h

I don't know how I came up with that idea for the composition but I find it really beautiful??? I think it does a pretty good job conveying the sudden, terrific shift of atmosphere from the first chapter, and I think that sharp bridge is very nice. I'm very, very proud of this.

Honorable mention #1: Full Score Trio - Chapter 154: A Breakthrough

Date: Oct 13th, 2019

Complessive time: 3:44+ h (+ 1:13 h of working on a panel that ultimately didn't make it to the final edit)

A very good chapter, and the edit turned out surprisingly amazing??? All the redraws look great and make it almost impossible to distinguish them from the original; honestly I feel like I'll never be able to redraw so neatly again lol.

Honorable mention #2: Don and Gilda (+ Norman) - Chapter 160: Shackles

Date: Dec 11th, 2019

Complessive time: 3:14+ h

That one is really one of my favorite scenes; I'm telling you peoples, Gilda and Don are a blessing to the earth. I think I've never mentioned it, but Gilda's hair is a nightmare to redraw??? More specifically, it takes me h o u r s to fill the texture without making it look too weird, it's the worst.

Honorable mention #3: Norman and Ray - Chapter 179: Compensation

Date: Jun 6th, 2020

Complessive time: 4:16+ h

I was so glad to finally be able to make a Norman / Ray edit, and it turned out it was just in time before the series' finale. I like how it turned out and I'm pretty satisfied with the redraws (even though my sister helped me with the lineart of some panels - it was exams time and I really couldn't afford to spend more time on it), too bad we didn't have more chapters that focused on the boys. Ray sweetie one day I'll fix your ear it's just today's not that day.

Btw, I justed realized I have never done an Emma / Norman centered edit? I'll have to make one eventually. I remember considering focusing on them alone for the chapter 154 one, but then I thought "even if the manga is gonna ignore Ray, I will chose to do not" lol.

Top 5 long posts:

#1: Reconstruction of how the Grace Field children were settled in the three bedrooms

Date: Aug 28th, 2019

I just had really a lot of fun doing it. I love putting all the little things to their own place, it's so calming to do and that's why I love making this kind of things. Also, loved how @temporoom contributed to the post! It was so nice of them to add what they had noticed to come up with more exact conclusions, that's one of the things I love the most about the internet.

#2: A study of how many times the characters of The Promised Neverland call each other through the first season of the anime

Date: Sep 10th, 2019

I REALLY LOVE IT! I mean it *was* kinda stressing to note everything, but it was very also very satisfying to see everything methodically divided and organized! And it's not just that– it's also the fact that it looks good. That's one post I have fun rereading because it's actually pretty! Also, even though it can be very stressing to learn to use new programs and sites, it's always very satisfying to look at the final result. Again, I really adore compiling these tiny little details! I would love to make more posts of that kind if i had the time.

#3: The Promised Neverland musicals headcanons

Date: Oct 27th, 2019

I mean it's literally. Putting my two favorite fandoms together how could I not love it. This is another one I really enjoy rereading, I find all the musical / character associations so fitting! I really want to make a second part, I hope to find some time to do it.

#4: Considerations on the reward / eventual series' finales (and Emma's sacrifice)

Date: May 7th, 2020

It's always nice to put down all your thoughts regarding a particular matter. It can take a lot of time (at least for me it does because... I need time to think about things), but it's so satisfying to see all of them there once you're done. Bonus points when, like in this case, it was something asked by someone else because “Wow! Somebody wants to hear my opinion on this subject! I'm flattered (◍•ᴗ•◍)”

#5: Some other considerations on the series' finale and Emma sacrificing herself

Date: Jun 13th, 2020

Pretty much the same as above. It's like some kind of clarity when the post is done and signed. Another fun fact, I had to censore the post a lot; the first version was extremely sharp and harsh, but I believe it's right to express your opinions calmly and politely.

Bonus: A thread of what the tpn characters would wear at the Oscars

Date: Feb 9th, 2020

Imagining all the children in those pretty dresses makes me so incredibly happy (╥﹏╥) I go back to look at that post a lot. I really love red carpets, I love looking at pretty dresses!!!!!

Lmao it's so funny how the post of mine I like the most are also the ones with the less notes

Anyway this was just a personal report! You don't have to read it all (or any of it actually). But it was indeed fun making it! Here's to many more months in the fandom!!!
