#My personal explanation is that they are just the embodiment of the 'trope' of an oracle or fortune teller. They can have any backstory or

[underqualified-human]

I just love your post about the signs that Yuu does not belong to this TW ! Do you mind if you gives us some more sings?

Why not?

They have an uncanny ability to manipulate others' emotions. I mean that in the 'whisper something in someone's ear and have them immediately have them go into a rage' type way.

Not really a sign but despite not being from Twisted Wonderland they are somehow friends with all the minor fairytale characters [Goldie Locks, Little Red Riding Hood, they somehow have met the Snow Queen]

They occasionally break the fourth wall

They're not a beastman but are also capable of biting through bone. [they got chained to a wall once and bit their own hand off. It grew back though!]

Their accent changes on a monthly basis and they refuse to acknowladge it.

Along with the regeneration, they also talk about historical events like they've been there. No one's sure how old they actually are.

They'll also just - casually refer to the great seven by their first names. The only honerific they'll use is Miss/Mister.

They don't really teleport persay, but they do have a tendency to appear out of the shadows.

Their pockets are pocket dimensions. They fit anything and any number of things in their pockets no matter how impossible it seems.

OK so it wasn't just me who thought that Yuuji and Sukuna went on a hiking date

Im sorry but if Yuuji was a girl (or Sukuna) this would be 100% considered romantic and atp im rolling with love

These two idiots will be the end of me i swear LOL

Hii anon!

You're not alone! That chapter lowkey read like a date and like Yuuji really wanted to change his mind before the end and also get to know him more, learn more about him while baring parts of himself he never bared to anyone else (like sheesh... that's pretty deep). He was hoping for an equal exchange (I bare out my heart, you bare yours) but Sukuna wasn't giving anything (even him recognizing hydrangeas got brushed off as Megumi's memory... why is he so afraid of admitting he likes flowers smh)

It's really funny because with them every single thing works somehow? Like there's a solid basis for every interpertation regarding their relationship. Do you see them as enemies? Do you see them as reluctant friends? Do you see them as soulmates? Do you see them as two parts of a single soul? Do you see them as each other's curse? As each other's salvation? Platonically or romantically? Do you see them as lovers? Do you see them as reincarnated uncle and nephew? Do you see them as ??? aka "I don't even know"? All of those are correct interpretations because the ground work to cover all those explanations exists. That's why they're like crack cocaine to me. They are many things in a single package. Mirrors. Foils. Twins. Equals. Opposites.

Objectively— it's true that Yuuji chased Sukuna around, trapped him (frantically) in a domain so he could parade him around his hometown and get them to hang around (while Sukuna, unnaturally, obliged). It's true that Sukuna, no matter how much he claims he doesn't care, cares about him in a weird way. It's clear because he acts a lot more differently with Yuuji than he does with the rest (plus him being the only human for Sukuna who's different than the rest... you already know what canon said lol. I'll get carried away). It's undeniable that there's something very special between them. That's canon! So seeing chapter 265 as awfully romantic isn't a bad interpretation. Their relationship is just... undefined. They're weird and tied to each other, in a love-hate relationship <3

Now personally, I see them in many different aspects. I love them as a ship, platonically, romantically, as die hard enemies or whatever. Their dynamic is the highlight of jjk for me because nobody does it like them. Their chemistry is off the charts and they match each other even if they're so different from each other. Idk I'm insane.

Im sorry but if Yuuji was a girl (or Sukuna) this would be 100% considered romantic and atp im rolling with love

Well, they are a bit iffy to ship to a lot of ppl because Yuuji's a minor (even tho he lived through hell and back at just fifteen and is more mature than actual adults in this manga) and because of reincarnated incest (uncle and nephew) which is invalid if you apply the logic of reincarnation– Yuuji doesn't have Sukuna's twin brother's soul, after all, (He's a completely different one. Biology doesn't equate soul sharing lol.) so it's not just about heteronomativity. After all, people have latched onto other m/m ships without problems but consider these two not shippable even if canon ties them together again and again and they embody good tropes and their relationship is 101 how you can write some damn good tragedies or redemption arcs (because their dynamic and them as characters just work so well together that it's insane).

As somebody who really doesn't care about all the problems this ship carries (because I see them as characters in a fictional world), all of that is irrelevant to me because I, like you, am rolling around in love and screaming into the void because Gege finally brought them together again. That was all that mattered to me! Now I'm excited for what's to come and am really curious how jjk will end.

They'll be the death of me as well. I'll miss them a lot once jjk ends :( Thank you for the ask!

Phandom Holiday Truce Time!

(For maximum experience, please turn the light mode on.)

Sorry for keeping you waiting, @raaorqtpbpdy here's your @phandomholidaytruce gift!

When I saw the prompts "Danny-Wes Role Swap", comboed with the No One Knows AU, Creepy Cryptid Danny and your mention about the Ghost King Danny trope only used in a significant way, the gif "I have a MIGHTY need!" started playing in a loop, so here's the bg for this mini-comic.

Before the Portal Accident, Wes and Danny were friends. Not as close as Danny and Tucker, but they sometimes hung out when the Fentons were too busy to entertain Wes' interest in the occult.

My boy Wes Weston has also a side hobby/obsession with basket and it all started since he watched for the first time Space Jam. (It doesn't help that I headcanon Amity Park in Illinois, which means Chicago Bulls.)

(So he plays basket because His Airness does so and because MJ was involved and interacted with the embodiment of a visual novel. Talk about supernatural!)

(Yes, I'm saying that crossovers between animated and physical world can count as a supernatural and ghost-related event.)

All of this premise was to introduce the personalized jumpsuit that the Fentons made for Wes with the colors and accessories of the Chicago Bulls.

(Jack made a mistake with the number and stitched only the "2", so once Wes became a halfa, he added the "3" with marker and later learned to shapeshift enough to change some of the inverted colors of the jumpsuit. Originally it was white with red inserts, the accident made it black with blue inserts, then the shapeshift finally made it black with red inserts.)

Since it's a No One Knows AU, Wes was alone when the accident happened, but being the smart bean he is, no one discovered that he's a halfa until Danny, much like Jazz in canon, discovers Wes' double nature after stalking investigating him.

Like sister, like brother, Danny doesn't say anything to Wes about knowing, but here and then he assists (in the shadows) Wes in ghost wrangling.

Due to living above the active portal and Maddie experimenting with ectoplasm while pregnant, Jazz and Danny are liminal, the latter more than the former. (Thus, Danny becomes the creepy cryptid of Amity Park.)

Even if Danny isn't a halfa, Vlad still tries his scheme of stealing the Crown of Fire and the Ring of Rage to obtain enough power to defeat Wes' hero persona (who Vlad believes is a full ghost).

Much akin the Reign Storm episode, Amity ends in the Ghost Zone, but Wes gets stuck fighting "alone" the army (the Fentons and a reluctant Plasmius do the same on another front after the Ecto-suit is deemed a failure).

While his parents are out fighting, Danny sneaks in the lab and fixes the Ecto-suit (my boy is as much as a genius as his family, after all), then goes to challenge Pariah.

Due to his liminality, after the victory, Danny IS eligible for the Throne, so he becomes the King. (He doesn't discover this immediately, but when the Observants start bothering him, he gets the explanation.)

So, after declaring Amity Park Wes' (and his) Haunt and a No Fight Zone, the ghost attacks practically stop, leaving Wes on edge, because he doesn't know about the Law.

Thus, we're back to this mini-comic! Danny decides to finally reveal both that he knows Wes is a halfa and that he's the Ghost King, but where would be the fun if he didn't mess with Wes a bit? So he amps his creepy factor and plays a Yandere act (he isn't, he's doing so just for the prank. As a matter of fact, 3-5 seconds after the last declaration, he bursts out cackling at Wes appropriate horrified face, then after moving to a more private place -a roof-, Danny explains everything.)

Does this became a UFS? I like to think so, but you're free to decide.

I'm adding the non transparent versions under for those without the light mode:

[sauntervaguelydown]

of course, you know me, I love the magic theory style world building when Naruto slows down to explain how chakra works and stuff. Getting to the explanation of innate elemental styles takes me right back to Hunter x Hunter, too (often when I encounter something in Naruto my first thought is "HxH did that first"). But is has got me thinking! Naruto and Gon are superficially similar, you might put them in the same trope category of shonen protagonist--they're both powerhouses, tank types, enthusiastic and expressive characters, undereducated semi-feral children. Gon is an "enhancer", whose natural style of magic is to strengthen the body he already has. Naruto is "wind nature" something that lends itself to enhancing weapons and bodies that already exist, rather than creating new objects. It's something about the straightforwardness of both magic types, despite existing in a different framework, that makes them feel essentially the same. And they're both, I think, characters who react to ethical dilemmas heart-first, without logic.

They're really not the same person, though. Naruto is a pretty realistic depiction of a 12-year-old boy. Gon is not. I think the core differences are that Naruto is compassionate & constantly reaching out to affirm what's similar about himself and others, while Gon is just... alien. Gon loves being around people, meeting people, admiring people. But he doesn't look for himself in them. He's complete in himself, self-possessed. Those he meets like him, but the longer they know him, the more they feel that he isn't really natural. Naruto is the opposite. He is unnatural, but the longer people know him, the more they feel that recognition of self through the other. It's been joked that empathy is Naruto's superpower, and that's pretty true.

I'd venture to say that the protagonists of these two manga directly reflect the mangakas' priorities & interests. Naruto is a story about loneliness, about making meaning in your existence. Hunter x Hunter is a story about seeking, about wanting to understand the world as it is. Kishimono rarely writes a villain who you can't pity a little. The little human touches in antagonists' backstories are such a recognizable facet of Naruto that you almost can't talk about the franchise without running into "alas, poor villain." The ninja world makes monsters out of emotionally vulnerable children. That's how it works. It's designed to, and it's tragic.

Togashi, on the other hand, revels in strange & monstrous. Togashi writes characters who live to fight, who don't care about winning or losing as long as they get to be challenged, and most of the latter half of Yu Yu Hakusho embodies this. He loves to make people who, despite outwardly human appearance, are almost unrecognizable in their emotional drives. Hisoka is a classic example of someone who is just bizarre, but a perfect example is Pariston Hill, who admits "when people feel loathing towards me, I feel the way other people do when they're loved". There's nothing broken about him, nothing made him this way. He's just a freak. Togashi clearly finds this fascinating, and respects the character enough not to try and condemn nor justify it. The hunter world draws out freaks and gives them a place where they can stretch without being confined by mundane life, where they can live for themselves and die how they want to.

That's the difference, I think. Are your monsters tragic, or free?

[finalgirlkell]

Final girl (Noun): An Introduction.

According to some, I guess I owe them an explanation. But let's start at the beginning - at least.

What is a Final Girl?

Coined by film theorist Carol J. Clover in her 1992 book Men, Women, and Chainsaws: Gender in the Modern Horror Film.

The Final Girl is a character (classically female presenting) who is the last person alive to confront the killer/monster, and often the sole survivor. The final girl is a trope in horror films (particularly slasher films ).

A common plot in many horror films in which several victims are killed one-by-one by a killer amid increasing terror, culminating in a climax in which the last surviving member of the group, the final girl, vanquishes the killer (at least until the sequel).

Why would I want the moniker or call this blog Final Girl Kell?

The final girl trope has evolved throughout the years, from early final girls most often being DIDs (Damsels in Distress), saved by a strong men to more modern final girls who are more likely to survive due to their own abilities.

For many, the final girl is the living embodiment of stereotypical conservative attitudes of what women "should be"—virginal, subservient, untouched by the menace of the outside world. But as the trope evolved, the trope was used to force the audience to identify with a woman in the climax of the movie.  The person you root for to win. That became a very powerful sword to wield.  It allowed new points of view in horror storytelling.

When women won, they were able to force men to watch them step into their own power. 

The name Final Girl Kell is a large part wish fulfillment.

I'm not here to trauma dump, nor give some sob story - at least not all at once and not for the public to twist and use against me as some things have been in my past. It's what the public does to victims of abuse when they speak out and that fall out I know all to well to try again.

The quick notes version is I've been the innocent who was forcefully defiled by the monster of men. I've had my life completely derailed by others selfish needs and desires - others fears and needing to single out someone to hurt to deal with their own insecurities - and I've had to bear the brunt of that fallout, living in a life feeling confined to a box others made to try to kill me.

I'll give them it was a trap my own naivety caused me to fall into - trusting the wolves in sheep's clothing - but the Final Girl always makes it out of these traps. They always fight and claw their way back out to come back and take those monsters down. They make it out to see another day. To live another day. To be free of the monster hunting them down.

As a survivor, especially one a lot of people see as "not perfect" I identity with that.

I've been to the edge and back and I've gotten free. I've won to see another day. As someone still dealing with picking up the pieces of my trauma and more recent battles - I hold on to the trope like a mantra. I will survive, and I will thrive. I will be free to see the light of another day.

As a child who grew up on whatever I thought sounded cool at Blockbuster and loved all things spooky - Final Girls like Nancy, Sidney and Laurie always stuck with me. My inner child and adolescence begs me to tap into the power those Final Girls had - and I have to honor that.

What is the goal for this blog?

Benny: But I still want to know what happens! Buffy: Everyone gets horribly killed except the blonde girl in the nightie who finally kills the monster with a machete but it's not really dead. Jennifer: Oh my God. Is that true? Buffy: Probably. What movie is this?

— Cut dialogue from Buffy the Vampire Slayer

I can't say what I plan for this blog to be totally.

Part health journeys - with my mental and physical health in some serious need of TLC.

Part writing out ideas for horror screenplays based on the insanity I'm dealing with and the terrifying situations living in Atlanta brought me into.

Part just spooky stuff I like, and showing off the positive progress I've made. Be it showing off a cool skill I've taught myself (like with ghost hunting) or musings about Halloween Horror Nights and showing gratitude for the things and people who make me want to never give up.

I can't say I have everything figured out, but I'm down to start this blog journey and I hope others are excited to read, listen, watch and hopefully relate.

We're all final girls here.

Character Appreciation Post #1

My girl Aina. I want to give her a hug. Anyway, each of the three main characters of Spin of Fate embody a common trope, but end up subverting (or at the very least) distinguishing the trope in a refreshing way.

Aina, on paper, checks all the YA boxes for a female lead.

*bow and arrow enthusiast

*dead and/or terrible family

*snarky? (Not quite sure if that’s the correct word, but she says whatever the heck she wants sometimes even if she hasn’t totally thought it out)

*develops crush for one of the slightly older dude main characters

*chosen one

*magical powers

*the unknown/submerged power of the protagonist

Now, A. A. Vora “debunks” or utilizes these aspects in very relatable and interesting ways.

(Out of order explanation of above points 😊)

Not only is Aina great with a bow, but she can fight very well with other weapons and she’s very adaptable. (She’d beat Katniss in the Arena. Katniss is great but she’s a one trick wonder). Anyway, she’s so competent at adapting and fighting traditionally because she’s had to rely on that her entire life to survive.

In this universe, every single person is born with the same magical ability. The only aspects that differentiate people are natural ability, age, and amount of training. This can be likened to athletic ability in our world. Now, Aina is an interesting situation because she was born premature and her keiza (this soul/body part that allows humans to do magic) is “defective.” So when she does magic it’s very slow, sloppy, weak, OR there are certain things she can’t do and will never be able to given her impairment. While this impairment is sometimes very unnoticeable (to outsiders) it impacts large aspects of her life and influences how she interacts with the world. This is not an Alina Starkov situation or other common character where they ��submerge” their powers and there is a “mental block.” Aina has had this impairment and will always have this impairment. This makes her battles and training so relatable. As someone who does things slower or cannot do certain things because of their disability, this was a refreshing similarity to a character I’ve never seen before. While middle school me loved Katniss or Tris or whoever, they would never understand me as Aina does. I’m glad younger generations have an Aina to relate to. That’s a special thing.

Now, on to some funnier aspects of Aina. Like me and many other people, she gets crushes very easily and sometimes fleeting. This is often never portrayed in books, which is odd given many young people experience this in their lives. What makes Aina’s situation funnier is that she develops a crush on someone who is gay, and who has a very intense crush on someone else. But, what I love about this is that it doesn’t dominate the story, and both characters still have a strong friendship. She gets a bit embarrassed at her crush but she’s not shamed for it and what’s funny is the other character didn’t even realize she was crushing on him throughout the entire story. I don’t know, maybe he’ll never know. It doesn’t change how heartfelt their bond is though.

If you want a funny bit of context for their friendship check out this post I made. (Pay attention to the ‘Aranel’ segment 😊)

Aina may be the ‘chosen one’ but she was only ‘chosen’ by a centuries old mentor turned bad guy because of her disability that slows or is less impacted by the environment. Her mentor actually manipulated her by saying, “Yeah, maybe I can fix your impairment…” when really that was never possible. Funny thing is, Aina’s impairment and the fact that she interacts with the world differently, is how she is able to catch on to a certain skill faster than her “able-bodied” teammates. And this is a skill EVERYONE can do…it’s just she caught on faster. And everyone in their organization is able to do this skill. So, it doesn’t fall into the trap of “she has some Uber special power!” And that was awesome. I compare it to myself in this way: I notice auditory things that some people don’t (because of reasons) it’s not that I have super hearing, it’s just because I’ve had to adapt to the world differently. So when Aina does this high level skill before people who are technically more magically gifted than her, it doesn’t feel like a hand out or out of her skill set. The author does a great job showing Aina having to feel and interact with herself and the magic differently than her teammates. It’s refreshing and very enlightening.

Finally, while I’m not going to comment on Aina’s snark (she doesn’t give an f*** what she says), I do want to address her family situation. Because while her dad isn’t in the picture (it’s mentioned he’s not great and her and her mom left him, we don’t get too much information on that) the real backbone of this story relies on the relationship between mother and daughter. And it is the most complicated, sad, and maddening relationship you will ever read (in a good sense). I will probably make a post in the future about Kanna (Aina’s mother) but that’s not needed now. As a reader, we see the love, the naivety, and the cruelty of their relationship and can somehow sort of sympathize with both sides. It’s beautiful and sad and so interesting to read. It’s because of this strained relationship that Aina seeks for a found family and love not from her mother, but others. Thus leaving her both vulnerable and a loving person.

After reading this book (I’m a 20-something-year old person) I wish I could have had this book (and soon to be series when the following books are released) when I was that 13-16 year old age. Because I too wished I could have parts of myself “fixed” or “do things regularly” and I desperately needed someone who was simultaneously wishing for more while striving to accept themself. Aina, you are a great character and I can’t wait to see what happens next.

Now, head canons I have for Aina:

Bisexual Aina (I personally just want more stories that feature girls liking/ending up with girls. I don’t actually ship Aina with anyone yet cause she’s like fifteen ish.)

Family Drama: Aina’s mother and father were from warring clans and that’s why she was raised outside Kanjallen. (Sorry people reading this who’ve never read this book and have no idea what I’m talking about. It’s not a spoiler)

[ur-fav-is-schizo]

YOUR FAV IS SCHIZOSPEC↭!!

Hey folks!! I'm Sol (he/it), and imma be the one running this blog!! I noticed that the previous "your fav is psychotic" blogs seemed to be either inactive or deactivated, so I thought why not add another sideblog to the collection, you know? (EDIT: XANDER HE/HYM/IT IS ALSO HELPING WITH THE BLOG NOW)

The ask box is open, so feel free to request any characters! Format it something along the lines of...

"[Insert Character] from [Insert Media] is psychotic!!"

Or maybe, "psychotic and autistic," "a psychotic pwAVPD," "schizospec," or even "a schizo" if you really want. Feel free to go into details too like, "[Insert Character] from [Insert Media] is psychotic, and has [Insert Symptoms]!!" ..or you can just chat to me and share posts, that's chill!! Elaboration on submissions here...!

This place is safe for neurodivergents of all kinds, including disabled pplz btw!!

I'll say outright that pwPDs are welcome here, so if you think "narcissistic abuse" is a valid descriptor of any abuse then go away!! It's also not my place to question other people's experiences, so if you're the kind of person who goes around fake claiming others.. You're not welcome!! I don't care how "cringey" or "obviously fake" someone is, because in my experience that's usually just repackaged sanism!! Any plural/system/what have you is welcome, I'm not interested in syscourse so try not to bring it up. But anywayz, if you get on my nervez I'll justz block u k?

Here is my own version of the psychosis/schizospec flag, with the symbol, primary colours and moon motif pulled from actuallyschizophrenic, while otherwise being unabashedly inspired by charb's flag. The explanation/description is pretty long so I'll tuck it underneath the read more (along with other ids). Feel free to use thesez!! Just tag me if u do anythingz cool w/ them cause I wanna see!!

The flag centers the symbol of the schizospec/psychotic community: an arrow pointing either way, left and right, (symbolizing the vastness, scope, and diversity of the community) with a wave in the middle (symbolising positive and negative symptoms). It's coloured purple, one of our representing colours, featuring a pink outline to help with the cohesion of the flag.

Behind it are two overlapping circles: one a light grey like silver (our other representing colour), and one a dark purple. White and black can often be seen as ethereal colours (embodying light or the abyss), so I knew I wanted to include them for their otherworldly properties, and so the overlapping is like the inbetweens or overlapping of what we perceive and experience if that makes sense. The overlapping circles also create a crescent moon, another symbol claimed by the community because psychotics are a bunch of "lunatics". It's outlined in grey to help with the cohesion of the flag.

The impression of a pink arrow's point continues to either edge of the flag (also outlined in grey), emphasising the centered symbol while also seperating the top and bottom's colours. Shapes come off the top and bottom of the pink, imitating a wave. The waves on the top half are a lighter purple with a purple background, the bottom a lighter red with a red background (outlined in pink). These are akin to lines on a typical flag.

To pull from charb's description of the colours:

Purple; the good side of schizospec disorders/being proud of being schizospec despite everything. Red; the reclaimation and/or the hatred of harmful tropes of us in media. Grey & Black; the unfortunate bad side of schizospec disorders and the strength it takes to deal with it. Pink; acceptance and the hope for better treatment from others.

And next to that is its geometric counterpart, which should be a BIT easier to reproduce.. But I think it's pretty obvious I made the flag to be more artistic than practical.

The symbol is the same, but the circles have been changed to verticle lines. About a quarter of the flag the silver line, a quarter the dark purple line, the overlapping colour a small slither. This block of lines is outlined by grey. To the left and right are horizontal lines, alternating between large and small lines. Top to bottom, starting with a large line: purple, (pink), light purple, (grey), pink, (grey), light red, (pink), red.

Blog header is my version of the psychosis/schizospec flag. Pfp is Ame-Chan (Needy Streamer Overload), with the purple, light purple, pink, light red, and red stripes as a background.

First image of pinned is the purple, light purple, pink, light red, and red stripes.

Next image is purple, light purple stripes. Followed by the psychosis/schizospec flag, and its geometric counterpart. Next image is light red, red stripes.

Under the cut is the purple stripes again, followed by the red stripes. This text is followed by the first pinned image, repeated.

comments on hazbin hotel/helluva boss that I saw on spacebattles

Monshroud said: What with the Executioners, and when the Helluva Boss episode with C.H.E.R.U.B gave us a tiny glimpse of heaven and some of its angels, I suppose it's likely they'll go the bashing route for them.

I guess that's why I like my Isekai idea for a "Biblically Accurate Angel", (perhaps an Ophanim/Throne), being sent to the Hazbinverse setting, a entity of such severe glory and inhuman focus and fervor, that to the more darkly comical inhabitants of the Hazbinverse they'd essentially be an Eldritch Abomination, but in a terrifyingly beautiful kind of way.

indeed. its an interesting scenario.

Honestly, I would like to see that happen in my own God's Demon/Hazbin timeline…perhaps with a "mysterious" biblically accurate Seraphim who goes by a title rather give his name…

also, having an interaction between the angel and Sargantanas would be nice.

7,388

tyranniod overlords said: Sargatanas: "At least, an actual angel-like from what I remember from the old days. The exterminators aren't even a good parody. good parodies require resembling and understanding the subject matter."

Need to specific that line would be Sargatanas' own personal opinion, not a comment on what the upcoming show will be.

If you think about it, the reality of the Hazbinverse being the creation of a Demiurge instead of THE God makes a lot of sense, particularly since even the humans are essentially poor parodies of actual humans as well.

What a coincidence! That's a similar explanation to what I was thinking of as well! with mine, more that demiurge has made a semi-takeover (not overthrown good, but swayed his creations astray and distorted everything) in my idea rather than being the true original creator of the Hazbin verse.

Say, as one of the symptoms of what the presence of an Eldritch Abomination is mutation and/or madness spreading, an actual angel in such a Chaotic setting would likely bring the opposite of both, spreading stability and sanity instead. Particularly once they start bringing more of their brethren to that reality as well.

It certainly would be an interesting twist on Cosmic Horror, being for supernaturals so used to the way things are, rather than Mankind.

Just picture I.M.P making one of their usual visits to Earth to murder someone, when they come upon a town full of humans NOT behaving as stupidly, erratically and cartoonishly as those they've encountered so far, but….. normally instead.

Then they notice the multiple ethereal entities watching over the town, the Ishim, not the cute cherubs they've encountered before, but regal beings of light, seemingly human in shape, watching them…. and when the demon assassins find their target, THAT'S when the terror starts. After all, REAL guardian angels don't F@#$ around.

tyranniod overlords said: hoo boy. proper angels are the embodiment of the trope beware the nice ones. That, and "Holy is Not Safe" in some cases.

I wonder who'd be the most susceptible to being traumatized/influenced by REAL angelic singing/music….. probably Blitzø.

Given his desire to be loved, hearing TRUE hosannas of God's undying and infinite compassion which resonate with the soul would undoubtedly paralyze him with terror and longing, unlike the screeching preaching of the Cherubs which would bore him to tears.

amy own statement :

someone else pointed out that the cherubs of helluva boss/hazbin hotel are more like putto

A putto (Italian: [ˈputto]; plural putti [ˈputti])[1] is a figure in a work of art depicted as a chubby male child, usually naked and very often winged. Originally limited to profane passions in symbolism,[2] the putto came to represent a sort of baby angel in religious art, often called cherubs (plural cherubim), though in traditional Christian theology a cherub is actually one of the most senior types of angel.[3]

[badkarma1998]

Ok, but only because you've asked for this (and even then its gonna be so abridged cuz god forbid strangers on the internet see the inner workings of my mind)

Overall personal vampire lore:

I like the idea that different vampires have different powers and that abilities and weaknesses are passed down from the vampire who turned you +random mutations much like normal genetics

Because of the above, I get to mix and match and pick different classic vampire tropes dependent on my ocs :3c

I feel like there'd be 3 types of vampire, social types who live with covens and throw parties and embody the typical sexy stereotypes; and the weird creepy loners who live in caves and sewers and lurk in the dark (usually have more extreme weaknesses or obvious tells ie: burning to death in sunlight); and the poor souls who would like to attempt to blend in with mortal life (tend to be younger more modern vampires)

Vampires can be seen in mirrors in my universe, however some don't appear on film. No i dont have a good explanation beyond more fun to write that way

While vampires dont technically need normal food and sleep to survive, most still benifit from them. A sleepy vampire is a dangerous vampire.

Vampires bleed differently depending on how much/how recently they've eaten. If they've just downed a few glasses of O negative they bleed like a normal mortal, but if they've only snacked a lil like many hours ago, they're own blood will be darker and thicker.

Then, because I simply must, my two main vampire ocs:

Stella

My og babygirl mary sue sweet meow meow. I've been developing her since I was like 12, she is my everything. She has blue hair AND pronouns.

Was turned at 17 because she was dying and her brother thought itd be better to give her to a bunch of vampires than to watch her die in a hospital

Has amnesia for almost everything before that and waking up alone in an alleyway covered in blood

She knows a guy who supplies her with bags of blood, fake documents, and a variety of other shady things. She met him by dumb luck (backstory yet determined)

She works at starbucks. She doesn't need to as her main income is defrauding rich idiots, she just likes coffee and having something to do

Loves to mix elk blood and dark chocolate

Abilies/weaknesses include: inhuman strength, darkvision, heightened senses, superhuman endurance/self healing

can be in the sun but gets weaker and hungrier the longer her exposure

can technically hypnotize others (she's just really bad at it)

inflicted with horrible vivid dreams of her death :D

And

Naomi

(Who i realize I need better references pics of...)

She's a fruit bat

Got mugged in an alley and saved (turned) by a beautiful stranger who she fell in love with and dreams of meeting again

Was born blind, can use echolocation but gets disoriented in noisy/crowded environments

Eats fruit, no blood. Just a metric shitload of fruit.

No issues going in the sun whatsoever

Can turn into a bat and often sleeps hanging upside down

Is exceptionally tolerable of Stella who lashes out at her for having a less horrible time being a vampire

Bonus

Enjoy a pic I commissioned OP to draw of Stella a few years ago

It’s my birthday next week and I want VAMPIRES!!!

Show me your ocs or favs from media! Tell me your personall vampire lore or fun things you like about them! Ask me an questions you have about my vampire ocs or vampires in general!!

The Havoc Boys Series by C.M. Stunich: This is Ridiculous! I love it.

This may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I sure enjoyed myself reading the whole series. Read my full review under the cut.

And if you want to know my thoughts on each book just click: (1) Havoc at Prescott High (2) Chaos at Prescott High (3) Mayhem at Prescott High (4) Anarchy at Prescott High (5) Victory at Prescott High

I will start this review by saying: I hate bully “romance”. And since these tropes were huge in young adult-high school settings, I don't read those anymore.

But The Havoc Boys was an exception. C.M. Stunich’s storytelling was able to chain my ass on a chair allowing me to finish the whole thing. Not only that, the story didn’t focus much on the bullying and only gave you flashbacks of it.

I didn’t think it will make much of a difference if the bullying element wasn’t included in the plot development since she already had an awful life throughout her teenage years. It felt like it was just thrown out there. The H’s bullying her into "leaving town" didn't hold any merit since we didn't see the consequences of that (i.e. h was still obsessed with these boys who did an overkill on her while she was going through all the abuse). But, it wasn't my story, so.

I think you should proceed with an open mind and low expectations. There were a lot of things in the series that weren’t something to give a comprehensive explanation of. This was for a specific kind of audience and I also consider this a self-indulgent read if you’re looking for something specific, as well as my guilty pleasure.

The Book Cover

The book covers played a huge part in convincing me to read this series. I wasn’t entirely sure about the premise at first seeing that the characters were barely legal and all. And yet, the cover art did an amazing job of pulling me in.

It was your typical shirtless guys, but the focus wasn’t entirely on them. It was elegantly made despite the story environment. It also gave an accurate depiction of the H’s characteristics and their relationship with the heroine.

Havoc at Prescott High was my favorite. While Anarchy at Prescott High was a close second.

Characters

Let me talk about the main characters first, starting with the heroine.

Bernadette Blackbird. I have a love-hate relationship with her. I understand that she was an aspiring writer, however, her monologues... weren’t impressive. She was edgy to the point of being cringe. I don't love her. But I don't hate her either, at least most of the time. How was she able to lust after the guys who made her life a living hell for years? I have no idea. But then again, this is why I hate bully romance.

One of the reasons why I was able to get through the story was because the bullying didn’t happen on the current timeline. I didn’t know if what she went through would be considered “bullying" or just downright assault and abuse. At least you were able to see some form of maturity in her character later on. But, she still embodies that teenager who thinks she already knows everything there is to know.

Next up, the harem. The HAVOC Boys. I won’t be commenting about their physical aspects like how the author did them. I don’t care much about those things. I’m more on how they were written: if they were fleshed out well or if they were only words on the paper with no personality at all. Considering that, we have 5 Hs in this series that fulfilled the usual tropes.

I will say this, these guys don’t act their age at all. Thinking about it now, I could give this series a higher rating if the characters were older. Anyway, more of those later below. Let’s get back to the characters at hand:

You have the over-the-top intense leader/boss, Victor Channing. He was an asshole. But hey, he has to be. He was a gang leader after all. If you are into bad boys (read: assholes) that are obsessed with you and only care about you—and maybe his bros—you'll probably like this dude. Is he a great character? No. But do I at least like him? Maybe. Again, if you like the domineering types, you’ll probably bark at Victor Channing.

Then you have the trying-to-be-the-hero-ex-boyfriend, Aaron Fadler. I hated him at first because his past actions didn't show his supposed loyalty to Bernie at all (don't worry it's not an OW drama). But goddamn me because I like guys who are amazing with kids (and with the elderly). Yes, he was Bernie's ex. And yes, he was there during the bullying (abuse) which happened after they broke up. Among the guys, I believe he was the closest you can get to being "normal." He tried to be a good person but considering everything he had already done, I didn’t think that would be possible. The only way for him to grow was to accept his darkness. Good thing it did happen.

Of course, there’s always going to be the manwhore. Hael Harbin. But he was that type of manwhore who at least respects women. Yes, I know it's the bare minimum but you get the point. He also plays the role of balancing the dynamic of the group. Oh also, he loves vintage cars. He's a mechanic with soft hands, according to Bernie. Among the boys (Yes, boys. They’re minors despite what the author tries to say), Hael was the most chill. He can give pull off a bad romance kind of relationship. The one that's so bad but oh so great. He also falls into that category of being the manwhore who will drop his whore-ish ways when they find the right one.

Next on the list. The gang needs to have a brain and that was Oscar Montauk. While Victor makes all the decisions, Oscar was the one who weighs those decisions. He was also the hater but was actually obsessed with the heroine. He was not great with feelings and he also has a lot of trauma. I think the most awful one as well. Among the characters though, Oscar got the most character development though we could only witness the process, I think it was a good thing. He was also that character who you’ll probably get scared of but also be interested in. He could either go full serial killer or just be a weird dude with dark thoughts. Though to be fair, this was a gang story so all of the Hs are murderers by default.

Last but not least, the most mysterious one and possibly also the most dangerous, Callum Park. He gives off quiet-killer vibe and lurks about most of the time. He was the silent one. The one who prefers to be by the sidelines, just observing. But everybody knows he was dangerous and he could go off like a bomb if anything happened to the object of his fascination. He was the resident pretty boy as well, since he was supposed to be a primo ballerino but because of things that happened in the past he couldn't anymore.

The characters are heavily influenced by the overused western media tropes and archetypes. You know the usual stuff about high school TV shows. They’re cringe, and dramatic, everyone has trauma, the adults were practically useless, and everyone wasn’t acting like their age. Perhaps a little ridiculousness from time to time could be good for your mind.

But, since I do like my stories with vivid storytelling, it surprisingly worked well for me. I also don’t find that much character development with the characters, except with Oscar. Also maybe with Aaron and Victor as well. Hael and Callum’s character growth aren’t that significant but I don’t think they have to since they weren’t presented with something to work on.

Plot

The plot was able to immerse me into the H.A.V.O.C. world and Stunich deserves her roses for a skill like that. One reason why I pushed through was: the action didn’t occur that much around the school setting. This might be your typical high school bully who runs a gang, but the storytelling was what sets it apart from the rest. This trope was highly overused in the reverse harem contemporary romance genre, so the only way for a series to be different is all up to the author’s prowess.

It was a simple revenge plot but the action made it all interesting. There's nothing much special to it but again, this is for self-indulgent purposes. If you can get past the Riverdale cringe, you will enjoy this one.

The pacing was a little fast, and a lot of things are happening all at once. But it was executed well and everything worked perfectly. Despite all that is happening, I loved the feeling of suspense that went through with it. Putting aside all of the things that didn’t work well for me, the plot was well-developed to keep you interested.

If you don’t want to be spoiled, I suggest you do not read the ending section of this review.

Ending

The ending of a well-developed series is always going to be a deal breaker, just look at Game of Thrones and Supernatural. I will say this though, the ending of Havoc Boys may not be the best ending there could be, but considering all that led up to that particular moment, it was perfect.

Stunich used the False Death plot device and was executed well enough that I actually thought the character died. This was the part I cried about and the reason why I still considered this one good for my taste. I think an author who can make you cry just by reading the journey of their characters is a phenomenal author.

In the actual end, we got our HEA. Yay!

Rating

The average rating of this 5-book series was 3.5. I rounded it down to 3 out of 5 stars.

This whole thing was a damn roller coaster ride.

Despite the initial apprehension and almost not finishing the first book, I finished all five with no breaks in between. There might have been elements that didn’t work for me, but the storytelling alone made up for all of it.

A huge suspension of disbelief is needed to enjoy this series. Sure, you won’t be able to gain much but, to be honest, this is not for that. The Havoc Boys series is highly self-indulgent and smut is top-tier. Not too graphic to the point of boring me to death, but just enough. Frequent, yet still enough.

Final Thoughts

Do I want a sequel for this series? I don't think so. Let's leave the ending at that. The characters are lovable enough throughout the five books, but not enough for me to get curious and look at what they could be doing in the future.

Do I recommend this to others? If you want to indulge in a guilty pleasure without needing to think too much and give reasons for everything, this could be a good read. I don't think you should be picking up this book just to find all that is wrong with it. Or if you are not ready to try and experience something out of your comfort zone.

Was this a heavy read? There are mentions of past extreme bullying, sexual assault (on minor characters), attempted sexual assaults, pedophilia, sexual relations between teenage characters, and the usuals when it comes to crime fiction (drugs, violence, murder, etc.). So if you are new to this kind of genre, this might be uncomfortable for you. But if you're not, this is mild. Again, all you have to do is enjoy the ride. Some things might not work for you, and some might, it all depends on personal preferences.

Will I read this again? I re-read the whole series: twice on my own accord just to feel some emotions it brought me the first time I stumbled upon it; another one to relive and remember the plot to pull out this review. It being a part of my “I could read it again” shelf says something.

who are your top ten favorite black clover characters and relationships (platonic or romantic)? talk about them!

oooh OK I THINK I WILL buuut ten is a lot so i think im gonna put this under a cut or smth so i don’t bother anyone lol

ok SO OK black clover has such a huge cast that it’s actually unfair because every character is to die for buuuut relationship-wise:

asta & yuno: i’m so so so basic BUT I JUST?? LOVE THEM SM??? and i’m always a sucker for rivals/best friends but i think what gets me here is how healthy their relationship is?? they both acknowlegde each other and push each other to do their best without being harmful and it’s such a refreshing breather from tropes where only one person in a rivalry really cares about the relationship. i see them as the best of friends who always confide in one another and know each other better than anyone else, but recently (and it’s all lily’s fault for ranting about it) i’ve fallen in love with their ship too. which is surprising becuz i’m not really a shipper but these two.... they did it for me

the vermillion siblings: GOD THEY JUST??? I LOVE THEM SM! mereoleona is my absolute queen and the way she embodies that violent older sister who expects the best from her siblings kills me. i love how leo looks up to his siblings and the way all their personalities fit their sibling role is so so so perfect.

noelle & vanessa: love love love the sibling-vibe i get from these two! i wish they had more scenes together because their dynamic is so great. i love thinking about how vanessa pushes noelle out of her shell too!! 

nacht & asta: i don’t think i’ve ever loved a favoritism relationship as much as i love this one. THE WAY NACHT SAW ASTA AND WAS LIKE “yup ur mine now” IS SO FUNNY HE JUST UP AND ADOPTS HIM ON THE SPOT. but nacht’s soft spot for asta IS SO CUTE and honestly i reallllly hope we get to see some scenes where nacht interacts with the rest of the bulls and everyone notices the blatant favoratism.

luck & magna: do i even need to say anything? chaotic stupid friend and chaotic stupid friend combine to make one whole brainless duo. 

yami & the bulls: LISTEN. LISTEN. WHY DOES YAMI FIT INTO THE ROLE OF 28-YEAR-OLD SINGLE FATHER OF A GROUP OF MISFITS. he really just up and adopts any problem child he sees like “yeah ur funny oh ur insane ur fucking crazy i want all of you”. i looove how he’s so soft for his squad but refuses to admit it AND OMG THE LATEST CHAPTERS? WHERE THE BULLS SAY THEY LOVE YAMI AND HE SAYS IT BACK?? GOD I THINK I ACTUALLY DIED.

zora & nero: this is new and they’ve only have like one scene together BUT THEY WOULD BE THAT ONE DUO THAT JUST JUDGES EVERYONE. i love how they both hold the only braincell of the group and i think there’s a lot of potential bonding that could be done between them. tbh the latest chap is what did it for me

secre & lumeire: does this even need an explanation?

yuno & noelle: smmmmm potential involving two salty friends who become friends based on their mutual friend (asta) and team up to make fun of said mutual friend

gauche & grey: 

asta & liebe/yuno & sylph: i know this is technically 11 BUT OH MY GOD THESE TWO RELATIONSHIPS ARE SO GOOD. SO SO GOOD. being bound to life to a demon/spirit? so much potential for the perfect dynamics i CANT

honestly though like. every relationship we’ve seen is so wholesome and i love them all smsmmsmms i could def go on and on about each and every one of them buuut these are what came to mind ^0^

I feel weird making this post 'cus from what I've seen a lot of people portray the Mirror World characters as basically the opposite of the normal characters personality-wise (though I still wonder how Shadow Kirby works with that. If he was Kirby's opposite then there'd be no explanation for him not being evil). Not to hate, I just don't really get it.

especially since the canon explanation of them embodying the darkness within the characters' hearts and all that is what I believe makes Shadow Dedede's fight... MEAN a lot (yeah here's my segue, I just realized the hidden brilliance of Shadow Dedede's fight or whatever this is):

Now, the English pause screen for the fight is mistranslated, as is stated on the wiki (I even checked it myself and yup), stating that Shadow Dedede's true enemy is himself, while the original/Japanese version said that about KING DEDEDE, the normal one.

Canonically the mirror doppelgangers are basically embodiments of the characters' worst traits/aspects of themselves. They're their inner demons basically (something like that, I suck at descriptions). Which is stated to be why Shadow Kirby isn't evil, because Kirby himself is pure good. I was looking for a way to describe the next point and ended up looking on tv tropes to figure out how to put it in words (I suck at wording ok-) and see if there was anything I was overlooking, and this part of the page (under "shadow archetype") pretty much says everything I wanted to say:

"Besides the obvious Evil Twin aspect, he represents everything Dedede could have become if Kirby hadn't freed him from Dark Matter. The Belly Mouth, retaining the original logo from Dedede's more villainous days, and the line about 'the darkness in his own heart' only add to it, especially since the Japanese texts imply that Shadow Dedede himself is the aforementioned 'darkness' to Dedede."

That was basically everything I wanted to say (minus something about how he could possibly also embody some of Dedede's traits from before he started to redeem himself, evidenced by things like the logo part [basically: Kirby's Dream Land's Dedede had what looked like a white circle as the logo on his back and the one on Shadow Dedede's back kinda looks like that]. So in general he could be considered what Dedede could've become if it weren't for Kirby stepping in when he did, even from the very beginning).

Shadow Dedede is the embodiment of the evil from Dedede's past and what he would've become if it weren't for his little pink pal.

So defeating Shadow Dedede would basically be him overcoming the evils of his past and proving that he is in fact a different person than what he used to be.

it's him proving that the "old" Dedede and what he represented is gone.

he's a new person, determined to be just as much of a hero as the friend who had saved him.

honestly realizing this made me love Triple Deluxe even more than I already did. I kinda wish the events of Dededetour could be made canon to some extent just because of how... perfect this battle is from a story/character arc perspective. At least to me.

this was the moment where Dedede overcame his past villainy for good, at least in one timeline.

specifically for certain things i identify as, archetrope doesn't work — like marauders. they're not necessarily a trope. archetrope just isn't right for me in that sense, even if you think it counts, it's not an archetrope for me. i do identify as an archetrope in other ways ( hero & mage ) but even then, some things just aren't an archetrope of mine. some things also might just not be archetropes for everyone and they may identify with them in a different manner.

i can relate to some of your experiences as an archetrope, but some things aren't an archetrope for me. as a mage & hero, i relate to you when you talk about being a folk healer & connecting to your archetrope. as a marauder, it's separate from that. it is both a profession and something that's intertwined with my very being, my identification with lots of things is atypical from the "usual" / commonly talked about experiences.

sometimes people want separate labels to describe themself, and the usage / existence of occuden doesn't mean that people can't ALSO use archetrope to describe themselves. if you would consider it a type of archetropy, you can consider it that — but just because you & others may consider it that doesn't mean that everyone will. this term was also made for my partner, who doesn't identify as an architect archetrope. i also don't owe any explanation to you, in fact, all of this makes me not want to join or interact with the server you've linked.

i'm also just having trouble explaining it but archetrope just isn't the right term for everyone, occuden is made for where archetrope might not fit. a friend of mine explained how his occudens feel versus his archetropes & i feel like it's a better explanation than i could give:

also I do understand the subtle difference (as an archetrope AND an occuden). for me archetrope is more about my alterhumanity whereas occuden is more about being an introject. my archetropes are roles I embody as if I were playing a character and my life is a movie, whereas occudens are roles that I feels more connected to than the average person because of introjectism and autism, but don't necessarily feel like 'the role I would have in a movie'. i imagine it's different from person to person tho

EP - 14 review

I feel like Minchae is the embodiment of the whole fandom rn lol

Sorry bout the late review. I had  an allergic reaction. I was definitely not crying. How dare youeven assume that.

Idk bout you but if i was watching a news broadcast where the anchor and the fencer were clearly  eyefucking each other, i would switch off the tv and demand they get a room. Such disrespect to lonely souls like me is unacceptable.

Julia Ko was a shock to me. I had already anticipated something bad was gonna Happen to Yurim, since she was being too giggly and happy with no mention of their surety. An interesting parallel that i noticed is when they were putting on helmets in Madrid, Yurim’s back was turned to Heedo whereas Heedo put on her helmet looking at her. I’m happy my girl won the gold in Madrid, but it does make me nervous about Yurim’s deteriorating support since she lost.

Now, i’ll shut my pessimist ass up and squeal about the chaos of the squad. Yurim saying she’ll kill Yijin, her oldest friend, her former sponsor if she hurt her new fencer bestie is so cute. You can quite literally see the betrayal in Yijin’s eyes. Yurim and Jiwoong being the only ones relatively sober and watching Seungwan having a mental breakdown, Heedo demanding explanation from an unconscious Baek Yijin with a sharpie mustache- poetic cinema.

But then again, we are yanked back to reality with Yurim’s dad crashing into a car. This puts a major amount of stress on the entire family dynamic, as well as the now added cost of hospital bills along with debt. Yurim witnessing her mom and dad cry was a heartbreaking moment.

i liked how her coach Yang didn’t ask questions. Didn’t judge, just quietly accepted and gave her support and hooked her up with the highest paying one. Did i ever mention how much i love Coach Yang?

Like i said, i have equal love for Yjin/Heedo and Heedo/Yurim. Seeing Yurim come to Heedo, collapse in her arms and confess that she was thinking of diving but hadn’t because Heedo had begged her not to- You can’t tell me they don’t have a deep love for each other. Platonic or romantic, we will never know.

You can see Yijin’s conscience grow guilty gradually. It’s subtle, and starts when he eavesdrops.

Yurim’s parents want her to live a life free from debt. they want her to be their little girl, one who laughs and smiles and brings joy into their lives. They don’t want her to suffer for money like they do. This decision really grates on Yurim, who expresses it to Jiwoong when they get her the cellphone and the music thingie (forgive me i can’t remember). And her standing up and saying she’s old enough to earn money makes them realise that in the blink of an eye, their lil girl has grown up. Truly heartbreaking. even more so when she knows what Yijin is gonna do.

Their last day together is nostalgic and filled with memories of rivalry, friendship and laughter. Which comes to a screeching halt at the sight of Yijin’s news report.

Much like her mom’s report, yijin’s report sends korea into a frenzy, with mutters of ‘how dare she’ and ‘traitor’. This has always been the case. We idolise a person so much that we forget they are human. That they have a life of their own, and problems of their own. Our obsessiveness leads to their downfall, and we expect them to be gracious about it? That’s really fucked up.

Yijin knows of Heedo’s distaste .It is the same she had when he found her in the middle of nowhere, fencing sword in had and tears in her eyes. I don’t know how this will hurt Baekdo, because both of them have good reasons.

Yurim trying to be gracious and asking Jiwoong to move on is such an angsty kdrama trope. good thing my boy doesn’t only shut it down, but also makes her heart flutter even more.

Heedo helping Yurim in escaping the reporters is so fun. I’m truly dreading the repercussions of Yurim losing.

The jajangmyeon owner is the prime example of the regular viewer. A stranger who knows nothing about the personal life of Yurim, but still feels entitled to give his opinion. I have nothing but praise on how yurim handled it. and the subsequent moment of vulnerability when she sobs into Heedo’s arms...let’s just say that dust flew into my eye. Honest. 

Also them sticking photos of each other onto their phones? Like ma’am you both are dating other people.(I would not be opposed to both of you dating tho)

Moon Jiwoong, my smooth af boy. Kiss ur gf so she doesn’t run away with Heedo. (also, i love his frosted tips)

Yijin breaking down in the tunnel with the word “KO YU RIM IS A TRAITOR” written behind? And Heedo arriving like some sort of saviour, armed with a paint bucket and a stepladder? Go Heedo! *tries to do a cheer formation and fails miserably*

The writers constantly have their foot upon our necks, don’t they? whAT DO YOU MEAN CONGRATS ON THE WEDDING YIJIN YOU BETTER BE MARRIED TO HER TF-

The preview eased my troubled soul a little. But come on. Ik the writer lives off  the tears of the watchers. So i’ll keep my angsty theories to myself.

Boo. Another week to wait to find out. And then my weekends will be void of kim taeri’s pretty face. ugh. sorry for the long review. But i swear to god if this ends up like Mr Queen (brilliant drama with a terrible ending), well.... you might release the psycho in the analyser. ;)

Signed,

Your resident psychoanalyser.

[joshuas]

you are one of my fave blogs! so i like to send random asks to my fave blogs sometimes. if you have a chance out of your mutuals/friends do you see as seventeen members or who do you see best suited for each member? you don’t have to reply to this! it’s very random!

hi anon!! <3 thank you so much for the compliment hehe and i'm really sorry for the late reply </3

these are who is best suited for my mutuals!

@leech4ns x lee chan: i mean it's pretty obvious - she biases him but that isn't the point. sol has a very, very loving and caring personality but i could totally see her teasing chan (affectionately) from time to time all the while just being a complete simp for him. also... chanwife <3 other than that, i just think their personalities work well together and that they'd pretty much be an it couple, thank you v much <3

@seungcy x mingyu: lucy is super chaotic whjkhdjksdjn and mingyu is just the type of guy who would be able to handle her level of chaos (which we love obvi). he'd kinda be the peaceful one like idk the otp trope that's like "chaotic w a soft spot" = lucy and the "normal and peace-maker" = mingyu. mingyu's also got a really flirty personality and i just think it'd be really cute how flustered he'd be able to make her <3

@hannietonin x jeonghan: they just make sense. in an ideal world, they’d embody the trope of e2l in a lawyer au bc <3 jeonghana <3 also their personalities just would work well together - jeonghan would “annoy” hana and she’d get brainrot but be a tsundere wbk she likes him and he knows it too. she’s also the only person i could see being able to handle his personality lol hewjfhdjk and his bull <3

@ohoshi x hoshi: not to be cliche and list everyone w their biases but.... IDK i think cora’s just v welcoming of chaos and w her taurus alignments and hoshi’s gemini alignments, they’d work v well together <3  they’d be a chaotic duo but they’d also just be a very fun duo and i love that for them <3 idk it just makes sense :) 

@woozi​ x jihoon: at this point i’m just putting people w their biases but there’s honestly a reason why they bias them bc i feel like they just work well together <3 as for yza, she’s really talented and has a similar work ethic to woozi who is also incredibly talented so i feel like their personalities would work quite well together. just an it couple imo <3

@kimsmingyu​ x dk: YOU GUYS JUST HAVE SIMILAR VIBES WHJEHEJ you’re both super fun to be around and lich rally would have so much fun and cause so much chaos together that it’d just be a crime to not match you w dk <3 funnyman chaos duo couple methinks <3

@soonhoonsol x vernon: you guys would just work really well together <3 i think you’re both quite chill but also driven and v v talented so you would just be that super cool and v well fitted together duo hehe <3

@000png x jun: i just think you two have a v similar vibe and that spontaneous sense of humour. also v friendly and v well loved by your friends <3 you’re just very personable which is contrast to jun’s shyness but that’s what makes you two work so well :)

On a similar note from my post comparing class 1-A and B's girls, I'm also cackling at how deep the male cast of 1-B is.

Top of the list is Monoma, the most dramatic person in the world. By all accounts, he should be an ass, yet he isn't. One of the smartest characters on the show, always analysing. Supports anyone that isn't in the rival class. His hero costume is basically "Phantom of the Opera" meets "Pocket watch collector". It's great. He's also a huge fan of french comics, or "bandes dessinées". Iconic as hell.

Kuroiro is the embodiment of darkness and schemes, constantly talks in a melodramatic fashion, and basically started a rivalry to "Out-Goth" Tokoyami. The guy literally thinks he came from the void, he's that goth. Yet he goes soft and shy for one person (Komori). Literally my favourite trope in the entire world.

Kamakiri is brash, violent, and won't hesitate to cut a b*tch. His favourite hobby is collecting bugs. One of the most hardened, most violent characters on the show, and his side hustle is collecting bugs. One of the calmest hobbies that requires a cool head to handle the critters. Beautiful.

We got Shishida, who's quirk is called "beast". Pretty self explanatory; he can go feral at any given time. But when he's out of beast mode? Most respectful, and eloquent person we've ever seen. Most put together person. Probably does his taxes for fun. Refers to the girls in his life as "Lady (insert name here)".

Shoda is class vice rep, respectfully holds the brain cell of the class and respectfully gives it to Kendo when she needs it, and on his downtime is into wrestling. Also hella smart, probably analyses a lot of fights, so he can better use his quirk. Held no ill will towards the people who best him in a fight.

Honenuki has a skeletal appearance and is a recommendation student. Very versatile quirk, flexible way of thinking, gives his classmates massages if they're cool with it. All around good guy. His hero name you ask? Mudman.

Awase? Chile, anybody who follows me knows how much I love him, but we're gonna keep this short. Cusses on the regular, and is so good with his quirk that he managed to detain the most volatile and dangerous student in his grade without getting hurt. Cool headband, cynical, will outright refuse to be used as a welding tool. All these traits cannot disguise the fact that he's an absolute dork, referred to Kendo's dress as, and I quote "Kinda sexy". Was 100% ready to lay down his life to save a girl that he barely knew, and caught feelings for her as a result.

Kosei Tsuburaba, the ride-or-die man of class 1-B. Honestly, he might be almost as detailed as Monoma. Loves special effects in superhero movies, enjoys ball games, and is a hopeless romantic. I'm not kidding, he's constantly bending two of his classmates' ears with talk about romance. Dirty minded, but still extremely respectful.

Show me a side character who represents the duality of man more then Sen Kaibara. I'll wait. Has rbf 24/7, and is chill until it's time to fight. Then he's all smiles and excitement. My man is completely chill and generally doesn't give a damn unless it's time to fight. Phenomenal. If he was in the spotlight more, he'd be too op, and Hori knows that. Loves cameras and photography, probably takes candid shots of his friends.

Hiryu Rin, one of the only two canon foreign transfer students at U.A. Comes from China, his costume is modelled after a kind of Chinese zombie. Is that one friend who's always cold. Minds his business all the time.

The gentlest giant in the entire show is Kojiro Bondo. The guy makes model figures in his spare time, and is the sweetest soul. No further explanation.

Manga Fukidashi. Where do I even start with this dude. My guy has a whole speech bubble for a head, and that isn't even part of his quirk. This dude is always joking around, and basically wants to scream Onomatopoeias for a living as a hero. Loves kids, is probably going to be a hella popular hero, just you wait. He'll be one of the big three, mark my words.

And finally, the man, the myth, the metal: Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu. Got shot several times during the attack on the camp, and still kept fighting. Got set on fire, and still didn't relent. You'd think a guy like him would be mean and brash, but no. This dude legit gets sparkly eyes whenever he sees Kendo use the brain cell of the class. Supportive as hell, will always cheer you up.

So yeah. A nuanced class of good boys. And do you know what's even better?

They all chug that Respect Women Juice with every meal.
