Using this its so helpful

i think its so funny when people take the way donnie acts at face value even though its a horrible lie because he's a horrible liar, while understanding leo is bullshitting very well despite him actually being GOOD at bullshitting. many such cases

Human | Gojo Satoru x GN!Reader

Summary: Gojo finally finds someone who seems him for who he really is

Warnings: Off canon events - Adult!Gojo - Depress!Gojo - Suguru is mentioned - Kind of OP reader -

The first time Gojo hear of a new teacher joining the school he did not really give it much mind.

He was after all the strongest, no one could close to him in fight, not in this era at least.

"Hello, sorry to interrump but could you tell me where Principal's Yaga office is?"

The question itself was not what caught Gojo off guard, it was the fact that he did not sense you. He had to do a double check, no there was curse energy he could see it. It was being well controlled and (he dared to say) supressed. But no one (well someone but that was when he was younger and naive) had manage to get so close to him without him noticing.

"Ah sorry, im (Y/N) the new professor"

And like that you managed to catch his interest.

~☆~☆~☆~☆~☆~

Gojo did follow you around like a puppy, at first it was his curiosity that got the best of him. He was trying to get a hand on you, who were you? You did not came from any clan. Non did your name ring any bells.

Also, what was going on with your technique?

You had explained to him (after a mission that were he decided to tag along) that you could just know and use others techniques. You needed to touch them at least once and that was it, not only did it work on other sorcerers or curses but on curse tools as well.

"As long as it has curse energy I can pretty much just know how to use it. I still get the side effects of them so it kind of sucks"

You were so humble. Gojo had tried there to make you touch him and see if you could use his technique but you had declined much to his confusion.

Why did you not want to use the strongest technique ? Why were you so...different ?

~☆~☆~☆~☆~

Maybe he did read too much into it. But Gojo found your decline (and the rest that followed) charming. Somehow and for some reason you did not want to use him. Not that you went out there getting technique after technique, you had said how you felt bad because of it. Like it felt you were robbing others but also:

"Sorcerers are still peopel, even if I dont like all of them or how much of the society thinks...I cant just see them as weapons"

Then...

You did not see him as the strongest weapon of all time?

~☆~☆~☆~☆~

I took time for Gojo to even accept that he liked you as a friend and even longer to come down to terms that he liked you more than that.

He had closed himself a long time ago, convinced that his only friend was gone (killed by his own hand and later cremated) and that no one would ever see him again.

Not Gojo Satoru the strongest, but him. Gojo Satoru, with no important titles or anything.

But you did.

You remember his favorite sweets, you greeted him like any other collague, you would check on him and ask how he was doing. If missions were too much.

"Its not like I dont think you are not captable of taking them" You have said one afternoon as both of them took a walk around the city "But even you need to rest"

Gojo had tried to hide his fast heart beat and how happy that comment had made him by joking with you, only for you to stop dead in your walk and look at him. Gojo felt like your eyes were pircing his infinity.

"The head ups loves to pick someone strong and use that person like a tool till is rusty and useless. But it does not mean you have to take them, they know you could kill them all if you just wanted to"

It was true, but really Gojo did not know what to do if not take these missions. He knew they overworked him to no end. And did send him on missions a grade two could do. But what was he supposed to do ?

Gojo realized there, he did not know how to be human.

~☆~☆~☆~☆~☆

Gojo had to take weeks to think on what you had said to him. And what it did mean to him at the end.

He ended up doing something he thought he would never do.

He visisted Suguru's grave.

It was strange, Gojo never felt comfortable to come, non did he know what he was supposed to do. Did he just talk? He knew he would get not response so what was the point?

But was there not the same line of thoughts he already had ?

He would not Open to others because he knew the outcome.

He took missions because he knew he was a tool.

He kept a good facade because he could not be seen as nothing but the strongest even if he was dying inside.

But then you came. You who would treat him like a human, you who did got worried when he took too Long on missions. You who saw him as human.

Slowly Gojo had found himself letting you in. His infinity just being able to keep away your physical touch but not your mental one. Not the connection you seemed to craft not the love and care you gave him.

~☆~☆~☆~☆~

Gojo does not cry. Never. But December its a hard month.

Its when missions are its lowest so he gets too much time to think.

And when he thinks he gets screwed.

He was not suprised on the outside when he felt your curse energy at his door, non did he left you see his tears when you offered him to pass the week together since missions were low and non did he let you see his heart shatter and be rebuild when you offered him to pass Christmas together.

No, he did not show it.

But he knew he did not need to do it.

He knew you just knew how he felt without the need of him to tell you anything. That was your greatest gift, the way you made a home for him with you. The comfort you gave him and support. Not caring if others saw it as pointless.

And with that smile of yours.

Gojo thinks he can be just a regular human when he is with you.

Sorry if this seems repetitive but I haven't been active on social media in yearsss

Is it true that there's a lot of lawlu hate on tiktok and Twitter? I'm so confused because there used to be so much love for the ship back in 2017/2018 from my perspective (Amino era).

The short answer: yes and no. Let me start by saying I'm not the best person to answer this since I purely consume on twitter. I made my personal twitter in 2007 like it's everyone I've ever known irl and has nothing to do with shipping or hobbies and I follow approx 0 accounts related to anime, manga, or lawlu. I just looked up lawlu a few times and browsed and suddenly it's my whole fucking timeline and there’s no going back and now I have a lawlu twitter (This makes me very happy).

So if anyone else has an opinion on this that is more in the community, please feel free to comment away. Otherwise, below are my observations.

First off, there IS a ton of love for the ship. Most of what I see is beautiful art (they got the nsfw ayo), memes, fanfics, and headcanons just like tumblr. There are tons of comments of people swooning over these posts, Lawlu IS one of the most popular OP ships after all.

There's just a vocal minority that are very against the concept of shipping and in that subset there are those who are very against Lawlu. There people out there that will literally list accounts to block that ship lawlu or write lawlu DNI in their bios. The same can be said for other ships, it's not just this one it’s any they deem a ‘pro ship’ (problematic ship) and Lawlu is generally considered one of these. Below as is an example:

The biggest issues I’ve seen with Lawlu are the following 1. luffy is aroace and cant be shipped period 2. law groomed luffy and the age gap is gross. IMO I think most of these people are just infantilizing Luffy as some goofy autistic kid that doesn't know what love and sex are when in reality he's very self-aware and happy does not equal stupid. Also he's 19 he’s not underage. He met Law twice when he was 17, one of which was saving his life as a doctor and Luffy was unconscious most of this time. Let's not forget Luffy's a war criminal kicking the asses of people 4x his age in a pirate world, age doesn't really work the same as irl.

BUTTT Not that any of this matters because you can ship whoever the fuck you what because guess what? It's ~fiction~. I could rant about how people can ship whatever the hell they want all day but I'll save my breath for now. (my opinion of course)

Also there are just mentally ill people who enjoy telling others to kys if you like something they like do. Lawlu shippers are just their chosen target demographic. Creators get foul messages in their inboxes, rude comments, just general hater behavior. Twitter is just a firey cesspool and all fandoms have 'fans' who do nothing but hate. We live in an age of negativity where being a hater is the cool thing to do.

HOWEVER, I see more people posting about why those people are wrong and stupid than the actual negative tweets but maybe that's because I actually support the ship and the algorithm sees that. Not sure how twitter works, nor do I want to know about that dumpster fire there's a reason I came over to tumblr.

As for tiktok, I don't really consume a lot of tiktok so I can't speak on it besides seeing cosplayers and cute animations/art. I'll leave that to the tiktok people to look into.

For argument's sake, I went through the lawlu tag and picked some lovely tweets to share with you so you can see the toxicity for yourself. Sadly only 10 images per post but I think you get the point. Thanks for the ask hope this was informative. :)

[flagellant]

Buddy, are you defining "Trying to use my platform to make sure that Westerners don't randomly start attacking East Asian artists for no good damn reason as they move over to Tumblr, especially when it comes to respecting language differences" as "being weird about Japanese people"? This isn't even my post like????

East Asian fanartists are starting to migrate back to Tumblr because Twitter is insane, toxic, and dying, and what we're NOT going to do is let the fucking exclusionists get them, do you hear me? We are not going to let a bunch of feral idiots try to apply the most myopic version of puritanism to foreign artists we're not we're not we're not. Form an armed brigade if you have to, do you hear me. We're not going to bully the artists who may or may not even speak English because we have our precious standards of moral purity. If we see art that makes us uncomfy we're going to block the artist and tumblr savior their name so we don't have to see them again AND WE'RE GONNA MOVE THE FUCK ON.

[gayhenrycreel]

its actually deeply upsetting that not a single active ftm tag is inclusive of anyone who wants bottom surgery. i want surgery. i need it. but post op bodies are never ever treated as desirable. i have never seen any even remotely sexual content allowing ftm characters to not be DEFINED by having a cunt. you realize how awful it feels to read that? not only does so much attention being put on body parts that make me want to die make a lot of guys dysphoric (making it impossible to read fics about people like us), it also feels very isolating. am i not allowed to want surgery? i cant have sex until i get bottom surgery. i can hardly even masturbate. it makes me cry. i have seen exactly two artworks featuring guys with bottom sugery. i cant go into ftm tags without seeing boypussy everywhere. it feels like theres no one else like me. those tags are just porn. they treat trans men like we're just sexual fantasies. as if we're not real. as if we're objects for cis people to rail and nothing else. it also seems that they think old trans men don't exist. almost all of the fetish porn i see is about femboys who are barely even legal age. its disgusting on so many levels. i don't want to be an anime femboy, but thats all you see us as. you treat us like fucktoys. we're people. treat us as such. do your fucking research and stop demonizing life saving surgery. youre just a terf. even worse its mostly young trans men saying surgery is disgusting. stop it. if you keep telling young guys that surgery is dangerous and all that, people will not get surgery they need to live. if you convince people not to get that tumour removed they will die. if you convince people not to get bottom surgery when they really need it, they will die. if you do this shit and youre trans, you are still transphobic. you need to deconstruct patriarchy. you are telling people not to get surgery that could save their life. do better.

SCREAMS

Okay now that I’m more normal, this fic was so thrilling! Going through the mountain pass I was holding my breath too! The feeling of dread just building up until The Splashes just -chef kiss-!! Loved everything about this and I cannot wait to see pt 2! 💕

The Obsidian Pearl (I)

— pairing: mermaid seokjin x (f) reader — word count: 7.2k — warnings: yandere, descriptions of death/blood/violence — summary: Sailing through The Dead Man’s Passage is a death sentence and the whole crew knows it. But with the ship’s stocks dwindling fast, your captain is left with no other choice. When a haunting melody makes the crew jump ship one by one, you find yourself alone with the demon lurking in the murky red water. As the creature beckons you to jump into the icy ocean – “come to me, pet” – you find that you can’t do anything but obey.

“Captain, this is a bad idea.”

A hush falls over the deck, a few whispers being passed back and forth between the crew as they watch you challenge the captain’s decision. There’s an audible gulp somewhere behind you as the captain pins you with a hard gaze, his jaw clenched tight with annoyance.

He taps the map that’s spread out in front of him, voice leaving no room for argument as he says, “This is the fastest route.”

“That may be, Captain, but it’s not worth the risk. Haven’t you heard the stories? The numerous crews that have gone missing after sailing in this area? There’s a reason it’s called The Dead Man’s passage!”

Keep reading

hey! the post you reblogged from supreme leader stoat about daddy issues was originally tagged as 'radfem' (i have the tag blocked). though it seems like the original post was deleted as i cant find it on OPs blog. they arent overtly a terf from what it seems but they definitely rub me the wrong way. do what you will, just wanted to give a heads up

I don't follow or know that blogger really, but if you read the post at all you can clearly see they're complaining about an idea radfems espouse. I don't know how you get complaining about them = being them, but you do you on that.

I will say I want you to really analyze why you feel the need to say someone gives you bad vibes when you can't find evidence for it, why you need to gossip about it instead of shaking it off and moving on.

It's okay to be annoyed or offput by people even without political or moral reasons, but the need to go tell ppl "I saw goody proctor with the devil" literally over nothing is, scientifically speaking, real cringe bro

[zed-the-buggy]

from @raitnrong i would rep this normally but ur making me ss your tags

ultimately i still stand by my point (argumentation? less so i. wish i phrased 100% of my post better) but i really do like!!! seeing counterpoints and seeing other thoughts on this, ultimately its a silly pokemon game & there's no right answer but the one you believe <3 but i do love discussing these things so i will DO that under cut because i went off again sorry (granted, only like two paragraphs, but still, like two paragraphs,)

i debate this with LOVE IN MY HEART VERY GENUINELY i love talking do you know this. you dont know me but thats besides the point. but yes on the I HATE HOW I PUT MY ARGUMENT IN THAT POST GOOD LORD!! i definitely think i put a lot of incorrect emphasis on it being Geeta specifically or at least let it come off that way rather than the system itself, there's no good cops theres no good landlords theres no good bosses, and unfortunately geeta is the boss. which comes to a more positional thing than a personal thing. geeta isnt a bad PERSON so much (i personally get red flags just through my past experience of a boss who outwardly acted very similarly and was crud behind the scene but that's. me.) she is just in an inherent position of power which regardless of personal intent comes with that inherent dynamic. capitalism sucks etc etc.

which is a different argument ENTIRELY from my og post because i did not phrase anything right sory

i do find one tandem idea REALLY interesting with this though. i think it would be interesting if they DID have that rivalry theory before, and geeta does genuinely think she is helping larry out and helping him reach greater heights. but larry just. doesnt WANT to be helped. and geeta keeps trying to push that potential and all. geeta sees something in him, a strong and potentially passionate trainer who refuses to accept that. but geeta is, inherently in a more powerful position. and larry just really has passions elsewhere. he might be Good at pokemon battling but thats not what he wants to Do. so when geeta is trying to push him into a nonexistent passion etc etc conflict of interest and imbalance of dynamic have fun with that one fic writers.

i just think its interesting to focus on neither being in the wrong just being in an unhealthy relationship to dynamic because of their different views on life and pokemon battling leading to a frustrating unstoppable force immovable object relationship. i just think its neat.

ok so larry and geeta

i really hate to rag on a character other people like for my own blorbo so uh, geeta fans i am so so sorry i would recommend skipping this post, i doubt its actually this deep </3 you are allowed to like her prommy

ok but ACtual analysis time, what the FUCK is up with larry and geeta (people who have never had a shitty two faced boss before ask. /j)

larry expresses anti institutional ideologies a lot, he wants to do things outside the system hes in will allow. he expresses a lot of negativity about his position, a lot of remarks which could rock the boat. which they HAVE with the amount of people now realizing most gym leaders have second jobs. and the system might! be kinda fucked! and deal shitty pay and is just kinda a whole gimmick of an industry in the whole universe. and larry sorta points directly at that, when he actively complains about Having to be a gym leader, Having to be an e4 member.

Geeta in this position would fucking hate Larrys guts! and would also point to her just quietly not saying anything when the player likes larry most. Because Geeta doesnt just dislike larry in this position. Geeta dislikes the ideals hes lowkey pioneering here. And when the player likes larry, its like the player is siding with larry. The player believes hes in the right, not Geeta, and it directly pits the player and Geeta at odds, in a very quiet way.

Geeta cant say shit. Geeta has to keep up the appearance of one big happy league full of amazing, positive members and they're all strong and etc etc. She keeps the facade of the entire league. Whether she genuinely loves the league or not, she has to keep an incredibly dedicated face up about the view of the league. But this same rule doesn't apply in private. The gym leaders, her workers have to keep that facade also, especially with Geeta, but Geeta doesnt have to give them that same light of day. Geeta can do whatever she wants, and the gym leaders just kinda have to deal with it.

i very much believe geeta and larrys relationship proposes this really. really sad idea. because geeta is larrys boss, and they. really dont like eachother! and geeta has. power. larry is afraid she will "dock his pay" for chitchat. but really it comes down to his chit chat going against the status quo, the status quo which Geeta benefits from. And ultimately, she does have the power to dock him for chit chat. She can rob him for being honest. And while Geeta's true treatment of the gym leaders as a manager will probably remain unknown, Larry's existence really offers the idea that it's probably not a great role.

Larry is not special. And thats the problem. Hes not breaking ass to go all out on a cute gimmick, hes not loving the institution as much as everyone else is to the point of doing more than its worth. Hes just doing the bare minimum to get by. Actively complains about his job, which for people in the right spheres it could seem like a huge deal to be a gym leader, and an elite four member. like bro! thats awesome! you just get to do pokemon battles all day! but really its not. once you live in the system, and you get sick enough of it, it loses its luster, and you realize that its just another grind, dodging pay cuts, trying to please the right people and constantly bust ass just to pay for the rent on your apartment and maybe groceries.

Larry is a pawn in the same system as everyone else. Geeta needs larry to be special. But he wont be. And Geeta doesn't take well to that.

Thats why hes the exceptional ordinary man. His ordinariness is what makes him the exception.

[formicarum-rex]

ive been on cohost on-and-off since november, and i think im going to stick with it (famous last words, i know, but i am genuinely enjoying my time there, meeting some nice people and enjoying the posts that come across my dash)

home page

my blog

general observations, differences between here and tumblr (both good and bad), and caveats under the cut

the ability to use html and css in posts is fantastic, and while i do sometimes miss being able to change the formatting with a simple highlight like on tumblr, the added abilities to customize more than makes up for that. i've only used it a bit myself, but plan to use it more going forward, and you can get some fantastic shitposts on your dash because of this. note that only posts are hyper-customizable. blogs themselves aren't as customizable as on tumblr (think the default/mobile theme here)

i think their pro-privacy, anti-algorithm, anti-numbers philosophy is admirable. it's not perfect-- funding is a continual trouble, although they have plans for making it sustainable.

as with all smaller websites, it is a bit of an echo-chamber and has its share of drama and controversy.

the fewer number of people also lead to there being fewer good posts than on here, especially if you have niche interests, but my dash is still quite active, and i have to check it at least once a day to keep up-to-date.

if you edit your original post, all reblogged versions of the post are updated as well.

it has a comprehensive cw system built into posts, more reminiscent of mastodon than tumblr. there is discourse about its use or over-use, but on the whole i think this is a big improvement.

i (thankfully) haven't run into anybody or any post that required blocking or silencing or muting yet, but the options are there and thorough.

related, there is a no-nonsense attitude towards bigotry. i havent run into any bad eggs myself, but from what i've been given to understand they are sniped more or less as soon as they're discovered. there may be moderation issues as the website expands (this is one issue where places split up into smaller groups like mastodon have benefits) but as of right now, it seems to be working just fine, and better than tumblr.

there's no general within-post search for the sake of privacy and to limit harassment opportunities, but unlike tumblr, the tag search is functional. in addition, all posts with tags you've bookmarked show up in a separate, single tab on your dash, in proper chronological, non-algo'd order, which is a good way to discover new people to follow and posts to reblog. this is similar to "your tags" on tumblr, but unlike tumblr, i trust it to work

i haven't used this yet, but sideblogs are able to comment, ask, like, follow, etc, separately. no more "follows from [main url]"

in general, i like the vibes better than pillowfort, the other tumblr replacement site, and its a much more satisfying tumblr replacement than mastodon, because, well, its not like twitter (although i do like mastodon for other reasons).

there are some odd things that differentiate it from tumblr that you have to get used to at best, and can be extremely frustrating at worst:

notes cant be viewed per-post. they're all under your notification tab, chronologically listed. this hasnt been a problem for me, but i understand that this can get messy if you have a lot of followers/notes

if you are not OP, you cannot view others' reblogs. i've found that this is mostly fine, but it does mean you cant dive into the notes to see if anyone has added anything you'd like to reblog instead of the version on your dash. changing this is one of the most requested features. it doesn't seem to conflict with the site's anti-numbers ideals as long as it only lists contentful reblogs (those with additions), so i'm hopeful it will be added.

OP is not notified of tags on reblogs. all comments that are towards OP and not towards your followers belong in the comments. unlike other things in this list, this isn't a downside so much as a neutral difference that has taken me a long time to get used to.

the comments are generally important. reblog chains are still used, but comments (replies) are more functional than they are on tumblr, with proper ability to reply in comment threads and a better UI. they are used more often on cohost than on here, especially if you want to start a convo with OP and others viewing the post. as far as i can tell, everyone can see every comment, unlike the reblogs.

photoset layouts are not as flexible as on tumblr

no DMs

discovery hasn't been a big issue for me as someone who is primarily a reader/viewer (if anything, the functional tagging system and unified bookmarked tags tab makes it easier), but ive heard that for creators it can be frustrating

i am under the impression that pillowfort is the place to go for specifically fandom posting. more fandom people have been joining cohost though, especially since a bunch of tumblr people joined a couple weeks ago.

i realize this isn't exactly a hard sell, but want people to be aware of potential downsides before creating an account. despite these things, i really do urge you to check it out if youre interested! it's a good place :)

Hiiii Jwi!! U remember me?

Some time ago I asked you to help me find a hybrid fic! And an awesome person Tell us it was on AO3. Well it disappeared again hahaha

Butttt I’m not here for that one in particular, may I ask you to help me with another one?

It’s hybrid au too. I remember the name, it’s Heartbeat, it’s an ot7 x hybrid reader 🥹 it’s inspired in the song of BTS world soundtrack 😮‍💨 remember it was like one chapter only buuuuuut extra long like 25k 🥹

Plus, U r amazing I’m always reading your recs!! Do you write too? 🫶🏻🥹 if not you should 🤩💖 thanks 💖💖💖

helloo!!

op, lets hope this fic doesnt disappear!

would you happen to remember any parts or details of the fic that stuck out to you? im not having much luck trying to find this fic sadly. was it like a tumblr fic or an ao3 fic?

i unfortunately do not write fics, i only rec them. (my creativity mind can only stretch so far)

EDIT: fic has been found. its "Heartbeat" by @minniepetals! (thank you @/qandissa for helping us find the fic! ps, i cant seem to tag you in this...)

RE: MASH: I keep hearing about The Hauntolgy and the Time Loop Theory, and I wanna torture myself a little by reading more but I can’t seem to find any tags or anything on the blogs I’m following, and we all know search is broken.

Any ideas? I know these are pretty popular AUs/concepts.

oooo yea these are both pretty big within the fandom here. ill be the first to admit I havent looked at a ton of the time loop theory stuff, but I do think its a fascinating concept. my personal favourites are the ones that involve Henry being the one who's conscious of the time loop, or the ones with it being Radar

Henry's is really just a beautiful and painful tragedy with the idea of him trying to escape his death but he cant. the idea of him trying to go home so many different ways but it always ends the same, and when he wakes up right back where he started. @thebreakfastgenie has a post about it thats great, I know ive reblogged it at least once so ill see if I cant find it quick and reblog it for ya anon

in terms of Radar's I dont remember any specific post but I think its an interesting take on his more clairvoyant-like moments. being able to predict what people are saying, apparently being able to read minds to some extent, etc. its a fun gag in the show, but putting him in a time loop setting and having it be that he seems to have clairvoyant abilities because he's already done all of this before... its a fun take and also it hurts <3 im not sure what id have Radar's time loop be centred around, what he would be trying to escape or change, but its definitely interesting to think about

then there's the haunting which I have looked at quite a bit more and have talked about here a couple times, though thats usually in tags. there's a lot I could say about hauntings and MASH because the show itself is just... haunted. everybody's haunted by something, the entire narrative is haunted. the ghosts of the deceased, ghosts of the loved ones they left behind, ghosts of the ones who left, ghosts of their failures, etc. my personal favourite way to look at it is through how each character's loved ones back home float around them, influence them, haunt them in their waking moments and in their dreams. theyre not dead, but theyre not there. they exist only in pictures and letters, maybe the very rare phone call just so you can remember the sound of their voice

I remember there was a post listing the best haunted episodes of MASH with like, explanations as to why each episode was haunted and by what. I dont remember who OP was unfortunately- it might have been @variousqueerthings but I could be mistaken. I think Follies of the Living is my favourite episode for this, the episode's take on ghosts is fantastic, and that last shot just really stuck with me. its one of my favourite episodes in general tbh, this desperation and then this quiet sadness of a ghost hanging around camp, watching but unseen, listening but unheard. makes me wonder how many other ghosts sometimes hang around

Hello everyone! My names are Quote, and Narration. I feel like seeking and keeping knowledge is my life purpose, so that's what I'll be aiming to do on this blog.  My pronouns are he/it/they, if you were wondering!

Here are some TAGS that I will be using here: #documents, for documentation such as lists or maybe even little summaries of events! #intro posts, self explanatory! #quote speaks, for when I play a part in the post, whether it be commenting on or making the post. #quote answers is similar , but specifically for asks !

Um, apologies if this post falls a bit short, I find it difficult to talk about myself like this! I'd rather learn more about the people that read this!  Please feel free to ask things though, such as about certain Animatics or certain things that have happened! I'd love to answer! 

Also, I'll update this post whenever I get around to actually posting things, and I'll link resources and such here!

//HATE TO BREAK THE IMMERSION but heres some words from the mod!

THIS GUYS KNOWS A LOT BUT NOT EVERYTHING,. he has limited knowledge just like me and cant be everywhere at once all the time.

That being said, it knows a lot. they can even read mod posts and tags on posts ! very meta and cool and not OP at all! Not every single modpost though , and not tags on every single post.

I have 2 other animatic blogs! @askscribblestuff and @donttalktojpeg ! if this seems like a lot, yes it is, but i dont get nearly enough traction to start complaining, plus i did this to myself by myself its all my fault guys

hi im op of that post about fandom misogyny going around! i saw ur tags, and its a valid question! (sorry if you were being rhetorical, ignore this then. i cant read tone very well)

correct me if i’m mistaken, but splatoon just has more female characters in the first place, and lends itself to fem-centered work. personally i think this is great because it is difficult to find media that actually prefers women without being misogynistic or objectifying.

secondly, it’s not a direct inverse to make more fem-centered content. it doesn’t make you a “misandrist” or anything because the vast preference for men and male experiences means that such a bias is completely trite to argue for. even if you did make this kind of content because you think women are more interesting, it goes against the grain and doesn’t actually affect men in any larger scale, while “idk, women are boring and useless, unlike men” definitely does have real life parallels and implications about how society has made the author devalue women.

tl;dr doing the opposite of my post isn’t a bad thing. good luck writing your fic!! i’m not a splatoon fan but i know a lot of them and it seems like a really cool franchise.

holy shit i did not expect to get such a detailed answer. thank you for noticing and answering my question!
