I know gender fuckery is the name of the game with alien robots and people are allowed to headcanon and AU whatever they want, but there are some choices to genderbend certain characters that do really fucking annoy me not gonna lie
#negativity#not me seeing canon gay man characters being turned into women and or lesbians#like :)))))) yeah sure i guess that's your interpretation. it's shit tho#i guess queer and gnc men arent ~special~ enough or something#a character being gay and a man is kind of a valuable thing about specific lgbt experiences#and seeing ppl turn them into women is like. ah i see so you just completely didnt give a shit about that huh#it has to be all about you you cant possibly relate or find value in someone who isnt a mirror of you#god it's already hard enough to find good rep of queer men#esp in a fandom that's still rife with seme uke and other lowkey homophobic shipping dynamics#then ppl will take interesting canon gay men characters and be like. ah yes this is a woman#hhhhhhh because that's not potentially upsetting to anyone lol#esp when people dont even tag their shit misgendering characters#like it's funny how no one AU's arcee into being a gay man or something BC IT WOULD BE REALLY BAD TASTE#BC PEOPLE UNDERSTAND HER BEING TRANS LESBIAN IS LIKE A UNIQUE EXPRESSION THAT SHOULDNT BE ERASE#god forbid we apply that same logic to canon queer men though#being a queer man isnt a unique experience at all. there isnt anything offensive about changing them tee hee

WHOOOP WHOOP
The crowd cheers and claps andddd---asks how the hell did that damn gingerbread girly watch a whole anime in ONE night??
Ha Ha Ha
Funny you should ask--I have no chill and am, in fact, not okay BAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Anywayyyyy last night's show that I watched at marathon speed was.....drum roll, please......🥁 🥁
Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
*deep breath as I look back at the gif*
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I mean--I mean LOOK AT THEM THEY ARE TOO CUTE I WANT TO THROW UP
I think we all can agree for those of us that have watched the show we are all this woman right here
Who is so real and I would like to commission her to make me a pair of those acrylic stands 💥 💳 💥💥 💳 💥 💳
This show was like--it was so cute and I was SCREAMING and GIGGLING in my damn dorm room looking like a crazy woman--my roommates hate me. I was up till 2am....It's okay. They would understand if they WATCHED THIS DAMN SHOW UGH
I don't typically watch romance animes or really much straight-up romance so this was wayyyy out of my zone of normal interest but like--ehehehehee it was so good and now I'm on the hunt for more romance animes
ALSO it wasn't just straight-up romance!! There was ✨Magic ✨
Magic given to thirty year olds virginis as you might have gathered from the title
Ha Ha but not just any old thirty-year-old virgins
Remember how I said "straight" romance
He he he
no
It is the magic of being ✨gay✨
And all I can say is; at least if I'm not in a serious relationship by the age of thirty I know I'll get special mind-reading powers thanks to my being into women and you know what--all I would say if thank you
I just LOVE how they communicated with each other even after the big reveal of "lol I have mind-reading powers please don't hate me" and OF COURSE KUROSAWA ISNT GONNA HATE YOU ADACHI HES SO FAR IN LOVE WITH YOU NOTHING CAN CHANGE THAT ITS HONESTLY SO FUCKING SICKLY SWEET--MAKING MY TEETH ROT OVER HERE
Also I thought it was so funny every time Adachi was like "Wow--he's really handsome.....AH but like in a bro way. Like--I'm jealous of him lololol obviously" and I'm just like yeah....Obviously.....but too relatable Ooof
And their little SLEEP OVERS and Kurosawa TAKING CARE OF Adachi like AHHHHHHHHHHHAHDGJAHJ

I honestly really enjoyed this show like so much more than I thought I was and I can't stop giggling about it lololol
I might need to check out the live-action version.....maybe pick up the manga......i really liked this story sorryyyyy
Anyway AMAZING show I give it 10/10 stars and I want what they have

re your tags abt n*il g*iman...do i dare ask
tw for like, homophobia and neilman bullshit
listen this is not a callout post im not pulling receipts it is 10 minutes past midnight and in my long career as a weird man who reads weird books i have managed to read every single thing neil gaiman has ever written that was published in hungary that means all his major books and all of his short story collections and sandman and some of his other comics now granted i am not as familiar with his work in the comics industry but from what i Have read i should be thamkful. now
i can think of 2 specific instances where an actual lesbian has sex with a man, one in sandman, she gets drunk and sleeps with a gay man you might have missed this because it is in the Egregious Transphobia issue and if u did not know who neil gaiman was you would think ah well these things happen not everything is separated by clear lines this is just a depiction of the real messy lives of queer people and youd be WRONG because neilman wrote an issue of hellblazer where a lesbian tries to trick john constantine into having sex w her bc she wants a baby and them at the end they do have sex. you could say oh well if i had a nickel for evwry time neilman wrote about a lesbian having sex with a man id have 2 nickels which isnt a lot but its weird that its happened twice THE THING IS YOU SEE when you start reading his work with just like this in mind you will start noticing the Pattern
the Pattern being that he loves to write about standoffish women who then fuck his protagonists. he loves to show u a woman who knows what she wants and is smart and capable and either is not shown to have relationships with other men prior or its explicitly stated that she just sort of uses men sometimes and then he will have his male protagonist have sex with her i hate this man and his weird sex things so much i hope he dies

i'm just gonna: ☀️ anon. There.
Anyway: I can see where you're coming from and like I said it has been forever since I played the Answer and I don't /hate/ it. But I guess I always had an issue with Yukari, because she seemed to me needlessly mean to others sometimes? Like she was right and others are wrong so its fine if she can be mean? But that is just what I /remember/. And while yeah, characters are allowed to be mean and not perfect and allways kind, especially female characters, because GOD FORBID women do anything- it also doesn't mean I have to LIKE her. I guess it's because to me Yukari felt like someone who would unironically call someone having fun "cringe", which for me personally is a dealbreaker. But Persona ALWAYS had this issue with having the male bestie be the buttmonkey of jokes, some kind of pervert and dunked on by the other characters and Junpei is still having it the best?? (Yosuke, Ryuji, you boys deserved so so much better).
In any case, I guess I couldnt give her as much leeway or credit because her personality didn't really mesh with me. But now being older I also think that it is BECAUSE of the writing. Persona Games have all extremely low points and extreme high points. The entire first palace is great in persona 5, Persona 4s social links with the Dojima family are really gripping and persona 3 is still one of my faves because it just came at the very right time in my life. (Who would've thought that a game about DEATH as its core theme would SAVE me.) But the writing is not always very consistent and the characters really suffer for it, usually for very stupid reasons like """""humor""""". I guess I am just trying to say that I get what you mean, but Yukari is just not my fave so I guess it is easier for me to lose patience. Like there are characters I'd go to war for in the persona series, so its easier for me to see the GOOD writing aspects, while others might greatly dislike them and therefore have a far easier time seeing the writing from more negative perspectives.
But your analysis has really given me some food for thought. I will definitely try to pay it more attention on a replay!
Oh ONE MORE THING!!!
It always felt like Yukari was pushed as a sort of "main love interest" which always kinda felt off to me when persona games do that. maybe its because i am gay and therefore see myself more representated by same sex couples/queer couples, maybe its because the persona developers believe men and women cant just be friends it always has to be something romantic, maybe its because the romantic writing always seemed forced and reliant on little events like in a romance shoujo manga- idk, but that was also something that rubbed me the wrong way. But that has been issues in P3-P5 throughout. And i feel like p3 got it the worst??? At least in later games you could opt for just a friendship even tho the writing still made it APPARENT THAT THE GIRLS ARE IN LOVE WITH YOU SPECIAL BOY!!! Sorry Yukari, that's not really your fault, thats a systemic fault.
yoo valid as hell though i get wym. if the character isnt for you then they arent for you and again, im not here to convince you otherwise of anything!
when you say it like that i can see why yukari's a bit of a mixed bag. i still like her tho she kinda a baddie and as a guy i like when girls are kinda mean to me so agree to disagree
ah yes the persona lovers arcana girl suffering from pushed "main love interest" syndrome.. i havent played any other aside from p3 and p5 but i heard rise gets worse. but like you said it is a systemic fault. to be real with you none of the romance options in p3 really enticed me despite 3 being hailed as ""the best dating sim"" out of all three modern games. maybe i just need to play portable. or be able to romance ryoji as makoto lmaoo (i saw a screenshot with ryoji saying he'd like you regardless of gender and. 😭 thanks for nothing i guess atlus?)
hard agree on the persona series as a whole having a tendency of doing something really good but then!!........ not. sticking the landing at all. theres so much to be said about it god these games are a hot mess on average its funny. as much as i adooore it, p3's pacing was so ass that i got severe tonal whiplash on oct 4. couldnt even begin to grieve cause i was so shocked
if you ever replay the answer (which. godspeed to you thats a whole grindfest i wouldnt wish on my worse enemy) i hope youre able to have fun and find new things about it to like! overall we can agree that its good so theres that. talk to you soon o7
#ans#aishi.txt#yukari takeba#persona 3#persona 3 fes#p3#p3p#god i love talking about p3. or anything persona right now#please send me more asks about persona#or persona characters#the answer#☀️ anon#cute btw#hope you have a great day <3#wait realized i didnt really answer but i adore ryuji's writing. junpei close second. havent played 4 but i think yosuke is uhm.#bro got the drive i guess...... cant really say anything since i havent played but his internalized homophobia kinda ticks me off a bit#that being said it will always be my moral obligation to like and rt souyo art for my friend who likes p4#like according to bun yosuke's alright and i believe them#ryuji solos in terms of bro bestie homie types though.#in my humble opinion

This post, this post right here is why I loathe people who act like the genocide in Gaza is the only thing you can vote for. Like first of all, the entire us government supportsIsrael, we aren't going to get a president that magically makes that not true. Second (and I SWEAR , if I have to see one more "your life isnt more important than Palestinians" NO SHIT BUT VOTING FOR PRESIDENT IS NOT VOTING FOR ONE THING) people's lives HAVE SLREADY AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE RUINED BY REPLUBICANS. It really, really isnt that hard. You aren't having a moral gotcha with "both sides are bad" you're just being an asshole who pretends to care about others but when your moral purity is on the line ah should I vote for the lesser problem nah voting for bad people makes me feel bad so I'll just not vote and ignore the rise in murders of pregnant women in states that banned abortion, or the perpetually high suicide rate in trans people who cant get the treatment they need, or we cant forget that Republicans would looooove to get rid of no fault divorce and gay marriage. But no, don't vote the president that represents the party that doesnt want to do that, ,they support isreal LIKE EVERY OTHER POLITICIAN EXCEPT LIKE TWO THAT PROBABLY EXIST dont fucking at me like that matters in the grand scheme of things and I SWEAR people who say vote third party if you're state is always red, are you trolls. Are you psyops. Because the alternative is that you legitimately believe that even the slightest chance of a flip isnt worth it nah vote third party because uuuuhhh oh yea there ISNT a reason (I am talking about higher elections local elections like mayor, maybe third parties do win those sometimes I wouldn't know cause those elections where I live are always run solo by a Republican but I STILL vote in them because it's the only thing I CAN do there is no revolution coming where all the bad people get kicked out and good people pop into existance)
Sometimes, as much as I love internet communities and spaces, I really think a lot of people have spent so much time in sanitized, morally pure echo chambers that they lose sight of realism and life outside the internet.
I live in Alabama. My fiancée and I cannot hold hands down the street without fear of homophobic assholes. We have an abortion ban with no exceptions for rape or incest. We are one of the poorest states in the US with some of the lowest scores on metrics related to quality of life, including maternal mortality, healthcare, education, and violence. It’s not a coincidence that we are also one of the most red, one of the most Republican states in the Union. In 2017 the UN said the conditions in Alabama are similar to those in a third-world country.
Trump gave a voice to the most violently racist, sexist, xenophobic groups of people who, unfortunately for most of us in the Southern U.S., run our states and have only grown more powerful since his rise to power. The Deep South powers MAGA, and we all suffer for it.
We have no protections if they don’t come from the federal government.
I know people are suffering internationally and my heart is with them. However, this election is not just about foreign policy - we have millions of Americans right here at home living in danger, living in areas where they have been completely abandoned by their local leaders. We need this win.
No candidate is perfect, but for the first time in my voting lifetime I’m excited to vote. I’m excited for the Kamala Harris/Tim Walz ticket because they are addressing the issues close to home. They’re advocating for education as the ticket to a better life, but without the crippling student debt. They’re advocating for the right to love who you love without fear and with pride. Kamala has always been pro-LGBT+ and so has Tim. Again, if you’re queer in the South, we don’t have support unless it comes from the federal government, and we absolutely will not have support if the Republicans regain the White House.
Kamala speaks in length about re-entry programs to reduce recidivism and help people who have been arrested and imprisoned regain their lives. Tim Walz supported restoring voting rights to felons. In the South, you know who comprise the majority of felons? Members of minorities. It’s one of the major tools of systemic racism and mass disenfranchisement, and arguably the modern face of slavery (there are some fantastic documentaries and books that explain the connection between the post-Reconstruction South and the disproportionate rates of imprisonment for BIPOC). Having candidates who recognize this and want to restore the freedom and rights to people who have come into contact with the criminal justice system? And keep them from having to go to prison in the first place? That’s refreshing. That’s exciting.
I would *love* to live in a country where women’s rights are respected, where LGBT+ rights and protections are a given, where we treat former criminals and individuals experiencing mental health crises with respect and dignity. I would *love* to live in a country where education is free of religious interference and each and every citizen is entitled to a fair start and equal opportunities.
But I don’t live in that country. Millions and millions of Americans find their rights and freedoms up for debate and on the ballot.
Project 2025 poses the largest threat to the future of our democracy as we know it. We are being called to fight for the future of our country.
We have to put on our oxygen masks first before we can help others.
You don’t have moral purity when you wash your hands of the millions of us who are still fighting for own freedoms right here.
The reality is that a presidential candidate is a best fit, and not a perfect fit. But comparatively speaking? Kamala is pretty damn close.

BUCKLE UP BASTARDS THE CLOWN CAR IS IN GO MODE
ok i KNOW im reaching here dont tell me but
is it too out of line to say that will looking to mike for how to deal w snowball girl lowkey parallels mike looking to will for how to deal with el😭😭😭
like (sorry in advance for shit gifs i made them in like 5 mins flat okay)
oh dear a crisis! how should we respond to this woman???? we dont know😟😟
ah a masterplan has formed i shall take advice from my best bropal!!
that worked so well i will now follow said advice only bc they gave it to me while they look sadly on bc theyve just fucked over their own chances in the name of doing what they think is best for me (and/or others)😁😁😁
and obviously these scenarios vary A FUCK TON in how serious they are. like obviously els like straight up passing away so thats yk a lil more high stakes. but like reaction wise???
thats. they. they just naturally respond to each others 'wtf do i do' moments by reassuring each other. which is so🥰 i love them theyre so attuned to each other
BUT ALSO they react by encouraging each other to pursue straight relationships. bc when it comes to their feelings for each other theyre both fucking stupid but also very self sacrificial. obviously we see this more with will. bc like. ofc we do that boy fr hates himself like
this man is fully ready to throw out every chance possible w mike to keep the milkvan on the road. (hes literally their mechanic. like without him it wld have fully exploded and all the mouldy milk wouldve just gone all over the road and probably really screwed up the local ecosystem. ok the van analogy is going too far im so sorry back on topic.) and i think this Is definitely motivated by a care for mike and a genuine want for him to be happy (no matter who he finds that happiness with) But i think its also important to realise that mike isnt the only one with internalised homophobia.
wills insistence on mike loving el despite the fact that mike has implied otherwise to wills face several times kinda shows that wills mindset on this is partially based in the whole "he Needs to stay in his safe straight relationship bc otherwise i would have a chance (in that mike wouldnt be restrained by having a gf and thus wld be able to date other people) and that would just be so terrible and awful"
and we literally see him do this. mike is going to this man basically being like 'omg our relationship is so broken i dont think we can come back from this fight Will!! u Definitely shldnt tell me to break up w her or anything that would be so crazyyy😁😁(PLS TELL ME TO BREAK UP W HER PLS I DONT LOVE HER)' and wills just like "🙃😁yeah um u can tell her u love her when we see her again😁😁😥😥😥😥😥😥"
like i know we joke abt will being the reason melvin are together. but. he literally is. bc mike honestly seems (n maybe this is just my insane delulu interpretation) like he wants to break up w her and was looking for support on that decision from will. and els on her slay arc which is why she doesnt give a singular shit abt mikes cringe monologue. will fr the only one invested in microdickvan because hes Intentionally Sabotaging his chances w mike.
which brings me to the actual fucking parallel bc MIKE DOES THE SAME FUCKING THING AT THE SNOWBALL. he pushes will into accepting a dance w a girl bc then he doesnt have to keep thinking abt how He wants to dance w will. (and we know he does bc he and dustin are sat there with Identical 'my crush is dancing w someone else😥' faces. so like. rip to mike but his very intelligent foolproof plan of not thinking abt dancing w will absolutely flopped)
anyway both of them have the exact same 'if i push bestie into relationships w women then i will magically resolve my gay feelings and not have to confront them' mindset. i think people forget that will Does sabotage himself a lot just bc we always talk abt mikes internalised issues. like will canonically thinks of himself as a mistake and thinks he deserves to get treated like shit🙃🙃🙃
anyway this kind of makes the whole shit writing point of making will the 'sad gay boy pushing for the love of his life to have a happy straight relationship' make sense in a way that isnt totally awful. the diffused shitbags could never.
#byler#listen. this was not supposed to be this long#i just wanted to make a joke abt how the snowball and the monlogue are lowkey similar#and then i got sad abt the internalised homophobia leading to fucking urself over thing#its just#ouch#mike wheeler is gay#he literally is are u going to disagree with me#speaking of disagreeing i lowkey wanna know what u guys think of this bc im totally pulling it out of my ass but like???#i dont think its totally baseless#so#mike wheeler i know what you are#i swear so much jfc proof reading this was wild sorry abt that one guys its important for emphasis

I'm a lesbian! 🎉
Few things have felt this right, this correct about who I am. Discovering demisexuality was huge for me, and while I still resonate with that, I'm not just choing the label of Bi as a technicality. Part of it is probably because I've been suppressing a lot of myself for 10ish years, add in an abusive relationship that encouraged me not to be myself with PTSD and other not fun stuff, its still surprising to me that it took this long for me to figure it out.
Currently selectively coming out as bi, because it's easier to explain to people (and doesn't let my ex off the hook for his shitty behavior and abuse/ I really did love him/his abuse didn't "make me gay")
Going to a Kareoke LGBT event tomorrow, and I'm nervous but also excited. (Plus, it's for wlw so hopefully I won't have to deal with guys)
If anyone has tips on how to actually flirt with pretty ladies please let me know (I really wanna kiss a cute girl but I also don't want to be creepy or rude or so awkward that I want to melt like the wicked witch of the west)
Seriously if anyone has any good pick up lines for a cane user that'd be helpful (cause that's gonna be the biggest hiccup)
#lesbian#idk how to really articulate this to people who im not interested in dating or friends with#of trauma makes someone a lesbian tho i 100% Respect that it just isnt the case for me#like i already have been passive in my i like women stuff to my parents i didnt eeally have a hey um im bi thing#but i did make it clear that if things didnt work out wirh my ex id probably date a woman#and theyre nice about it and accepting#but i honestly dont thibk my mom will believe ive always liked women and that tim was the exception#when i came out as bi she was like ah yes you always liked guys youre not demi at all#so im real hesitant#plus she wont understand that ive been like this forever and this isnr some breakup change like a haircut#gay shit

Ooo, for the headcanon things, Yusuke and Akira?? They have so much gender it's unreal.
ah, half my Gender Quartet. i got two for akira so ill do yusuke for now then akira after :)
Sexuality Headcanon: hes gay he loves men hes queer and wants to kiss men on the lips. he may love women also but only if its transgenderly. however i also can never physically imagine yusuke having sex ever in his life hes hes a pretty hardcore aspec in my mind.
Gender Headcanon: i feel like yusuke is the trans person who has to be told they are transgender. conceptually he understands it in his own terms but i dont think the word has ever entered his vacinity and they have to be sat down and told what transing your gender means. also genuinely think that yusuke would be all over the concept of neoprounouns. or maybe yusuke has no pronouns. Yusuke is doing Something with pronouns.
A ship I have with said character: back in vanilla i was actually rly big on the akira/yusuke boat. im not on it as much these days but its still good. ryukita also good. @detectivekurusu also enlightened me to transgirl yusuke/ann which is just inspired frankly.
A BROTP I have with said character: i want yusuke and hifumi to be friends i think itd be sweet. i love that one event you can get with hifumi and yusuke in the aircon dept and hifumi does Her Thing and you think he gets it bc its Yusuke but he just does an aside to akira and is like 'huh. odd duck isnt she.' i want a friendship where they both think theyre the normal one (neither of them are)
A NOTP I have with said character: yusuke and futaba im sorry their dynamic is hilarious and i love them both together but i can sense no romance in them
A random headcanon: [points] autism. i think the reason he keeps wearing loose fitting shirts/unbuttons all his collars is because he cant stand the feeling of most clothes/shirts esp around the neck. that one scarf he had is the exception bc it was made out of magical maruki fantasy fabric.
General Opinion over said character: hand on heart yusuke had the most hard hitting down to earth abuse storyline in the entire game hes actually up there with goro and sumi with how much i enjoy him + his slink, its just the third semester is such a muse for me so i dont draw him as much. hes a special little (tall) weirdo and im going to give him 3 dollars
#ask meme#could have ranted longer in th gender section but im ''''sparing'''' you and putting it here#long post#you KNOW yusuke would be all over the idea of the body as a transformative act#something something the body is a preformance and is art into itself something something sculpt it like clay. thats something yusuke'd say#and would say transfemininely#anyway i will do akira but in my own time bc this took and hour to type up LMAO feel free to send in more in the mean time

I would like to hear more of your opinions on fandom depictions of Neil, if you don't mind! Your post made me realize some things I wasn't even aware of when reading aftg fic!!
Yeah sure I have a lot of thoughts on this. I think this is an overall fandom issue and not just an aftg fandom issue, but the feminization of neil as well as the ironing out of his personality to make it more palatable is definitely a thing.
I've noticed in a lot of fics hes a lot friendlier, a lot less distrusting, and a lot more oblivious. I also noticed the amount of demand for vixen neil, and neil in dresses and skirts and crop tops, neil crying and being vulnerable isn't a challenge on traditional masculinity because andrew and the other guy foxes don't receive nearly the same amount of demand.
There is heavy emphasis on people wanting not just neil but andrew to be softer, and while that's okay, it's important to remember the moral of aftg is that trauma makes some people hard, and intense and not traditionally likeable, and that those people aren't broken and don't need to be fixed. So when people just, ignore that and make andrew and neil a lot softer, neil always sitting in andrews lap and other things, lots of expressions of PDA, and other out of charter moments, it erases the idea nora was trying to convey.
I've stated before about how the fandom also often doesn't mention body hair but when it does its andrew having facial hair and neil having less typically, but also there is usually emphasis on andrew having a deeper voice than neil, who sometimes gets written almost as whiney and petulant or pouty.
-nsft text below-
I also think there is an overall lack of understanding of mlm culture in fandom which is largely a women's space. I won't go into detail here but how pwp is written (especially a lot of the trans andrew or neil ones) are not with a mlm gaze in mind, after all if it was proper gay porn then only mlm would be turned on by it, but the consumer in mind isn't mlm at all, both because the authors are almost always not mlm, but the readers aren't as well. There is emphasis on neil being more vocal and whining, mewling, whimpering, and moaning, all common in how straight porn treats the woman, while andrew is emphasized in being a lot more quiet, maybe grunting and groaning.
Lingerie is not common in gay porn outside of fanfiction, jock straps?? Thats a thing thats a huge thing, but in all the pwp I've seen of them in their exy gear I haven't seen it mentioned before, not a cup or jock strap or anything like that.
Neil is also the one being put into the lingerie and there is emphasis on him feeling pretty rather than handsome and him being petite and slim rather than a bulky athlete
There is also an overall lack in realism in preparation and dynamics that are physically impossible or unsafe but thats a whole other thing.
This is just off of the top of my head, I can get into the fetishization of trans andrew fics another time thats a whole other thing, but yeah this is just my unprepared thoughts and observations I've noticed.
Fanart also tends to lack the men having bulges, i respect trans hc but i have possibly never seen a flaccid penis in running shorts neil is wearing. They don't go away they sit there and take up space.
-end nsft text-
I have more to say when it comes to the dealings with trauma in fanfiction but for another time. I also have a huge rant about how fanon deals with the race in fics, both nickys canon race as well as the fanon everyone else's race
Overall, people can write what they want to write, and fiction is fiction and i cannot stop anyone from doing anything, and people can interpret the characters how they want. But when writing fiction, the authors own biases can slip though, the charters are written by them after all. An author who writes a torture scene isnt someone who has done that, but an author who writes let's say nicky as even more predatory, slutty, stereotypically gay and "ayeyeyye" in fanfic is unknowingly being racist and homophobic.
A person existing in real life fitting steryotypes is one thing, I've been told like once a week that im stereotypically gay since I've been alive, and have been under a lot of fire for being both "too mexican" and "not mexican enough" but an author who is not mlm and is white can still fall into these pre conceived notions they don't realize they have. There is no such thing as a real life queer couple being heteronormative, but someone else writing one can be because they're not real people, they're characters.
Why does this dynamic appeal to you? Are you projecting? In what way? Why do you think x character is more passive and y is more aggressive? Are they like that in canon ?
When quarantine started I threw myself into aftg even more, but quickly became depressed and felt gross and watched, I felt lonely as an mlm and isnt white in a dominantly white wlw/wlm fandom. Most of tumblr is queer white women dominant tbh, in the same way its American dominant, and fandom is like that too. I still have a hard time talking to my friends who aren't mlm about fandom stuff sometimes because I will tell them something bothers me and I'm not sure they understand or take it seriously. I was so depressed because my personal escapism was making me feel worse.
My depression has gotten better since then, but I still get very uncomfortable with the word "twink" being applied to not just neil, but now any queer man, especially when not said by someone mlm.
Okay I'm gonna stop here lol this was a longer ramble than planned. Ah. Don't cancel me don't twist my words I swear I don't care what others do this is just my observations
#aftg#all for the game#neil josten#andrew minyard#the foxhole court#tfc#andreil#fandom politics#ask#mailob#fandom psychology

So I wrote down my thoughts as i watched through most of Season 2 of Scooby Doo Mystery Inc, and would like to share them, major spoilers below cut
Notes of Season 2 of Scooby Mystery Inc Shout out to this jock bully(?) who upon encountering a monster threatening a girl, did no hesitate to take on said monster, recuse said girl, and protect her as they escape Fred really needs to talk to someone about his new parents, who are now living in his house with him???? The house of the man who took him from them?????? Bronson might not be exactly straight looking at how he acted around the old mayor vs the new one, but *shrugs* Jock Strikes again, is this gunna be the twist? That''s a really douchy twist to pull a stunt like this Love how-I mean this is just the plan. He wanted girls too so he set up the same scenario. Is this extra set up by the parents to get him to trust them that is some next level douchery/ Scratch that on Bronson, omg Oh shit starting with a furry attack this is going to be a weird episode the gang's meta knowledge coupled with their sure willingness to go along with tropes and shit makes for great dialogue oh *oh* this is the episode where we get a peak to see just how big the picture is, love the lore building. knew this episode was gunna be good is that a demon? the furry isnt the mosnter??? ummm...weve been getting hints, are things getting real? so we've established motive for why someone whould want this plavce closed, but actually tangent but dont a lot of these monsters that they encounter seem like, weirdly powerful and mobile for costumes oh there's the furry that red aura is a...the things that happen around it are something deeper it seems. fascinating. is the red just representative of fire hallucinations? those seemed a bit real in effect for hallucinations... this guy, like my manager, needs to hire a little more staff occult magic book falls from the library to gang, and no one is as concerned as they should be nazi robot nazi robot get BJ on the phone Cassidy is the kinda retired PC that the players can strive to be Shit is getting real quick isnt it. Wait is that a seal. does Cassidy die? I know about a certain other death that makes me sad, but i dont want Cassidy to die too this episode is a rollercoaster of odd events weird hologram disguise for Paraclese is nifty Seeing the tragic fate of past groups is...well obviously sad oh dear, she does die huh its super low key, but it plays at the terrifying corrupting ordeal of the eldritchstuff really well with the lore notes bear troubles oh that badge...is that where they buried him? that's...kinda grim they have stealth suits and killer nazi robots? why have the evil guys not won yet? there is a bomb and they are not evacuating. There is a BOMB and they are not evacuating oh the bear can talk, how dare i assume that a bear is incapable of speech the bear is a twunk, scratch that, still a bear, is...he doing a christiphor walkin impersonation? aaand that’s enough for tonight, starting fresh later We're back, 13 more episodes oh so were getting into why i don’t like astrology Enigma machine omg. sorry, im a sucker for bits like that i wanna have long white hair too, i could rock that look How does Paraclese still have an accent after all these years? It is like destiny's Rasputin and just a stubborn superiority complex? something about visiting villains you can talk to in a prison is-ohp thats just all of um huh, cameo episode- err, anyways, it just paints a delightful scene about the relationship of the protags and antags and villainy as a whole in the world well this is horrific, throw some brownish red stuff around and it would be a silent hill scene update: still gay Thirteen more episodes and they have the disk...that does not bode well for what is going to happen the writer's willingness to reference other hannah barbara characters/shows is great oooo anticaptilism, BF is scoring points excuse me???? cyborg dragon girl???? he cant even call her by her name through most of the episode wtf??????? see now im at the point i gotta ask, is this a real ghost thing, or a fake ghost thing? ah i understand now youd think he would be more willing to explain to th-there we go so the animal companians are more suceptible, but they all have the risk Paraclese talking about these cattle is every gm talking about their homebrew monsters omg writers wth was that conclusion for the cattle im dying sk-ska zombies. ska. zombies. i can pick it up oh like the dancing plauge but worse, nifty these ghosts are rude boys, like, thats actually one of their names. And just caught that it the band name is skatastic oh they mentioned the dancing plauge, thank you wtf 101 the 'lighthearted' tone of this episode speaks dark tidings about the horrors to come aaah, hex girls, omg oh damn, update again: still hella gay bards duels be like, but for real loving this more and more young me is crazy about having the hex girls interact with a magicy thing like the disks, the rest of me is concerned at the events that are taking place scooby agrees, and his dog girl friend...well that was something Ricky displaying increasing regrets is not going to do good things for his lifeespectancy ohp then he drags in the other two well, i didnt see that coming for the criminal identity this little girl just had her mom ditch her for a stranger that robbed them, the heck i should probably eat dinner at some point, or like, anything at somepoint... calling it now, this guy is a circus performer/stunt driver, and if he is the random hired british poolboy it is a fake accent he's lureing women away with emotional intemacy. thats funny in itself, btu that they accept so readily still isnt normal oh and apparently kinks, lured with kinks so hes going to be the librarian dude then?? maybe? k, so at least i got that o.o O.O, well, that was quite the lead up and explanation food on plate, depresso in heart, ready to continue so they have to know right? like, this is a planned trap since Fred is 'the only one who knows where it is' doesnt explain Fred though, or how the fake acts "jeepies you found my scarf" oh there it is, they are after the info from him and its all fake, not some hell vision to show why he has to suceed Fred knew first? good on him plastic surgery, holy crap, next level villainy here holy shit they're all in puragoty thanks to the corrpution?????? Going back to early about the horrifying nature of all this. it is just so immensly sad watching them go through these bits. Cool, but sad. Velma demonstrating why thinking and understanding are not always good in eldritch horror games so he's got a guilt complex? heart felt talk with Mayor Dad awwww, poor Velma doesnt think she's pretty guessing...well id say the wife of Enrique but that seems too easy some how, stiill shes the only offered suspect beside Enrique himself thus far *deep sigh* i will never guess any culprit i bother to write down correctly would be a real move of the writers to Uzumaki the town two day deadline given, props to velma for having the foresight to model the disks in a digital format incase theyre lost mad max mystery machine sounds like a doom metal synth wave fusion song things are going too well... How many giant evil doors will this lair have? alchemy. of course. should have guessed. is...is this the episode where Marcie...oh no oh at least shes trying good on her, she's going down in style and flame... oh. ya know, even knowing it was coming and talking it up a sentence before, not a happy event this is a nifty dungeon last episode, hell of an opening/recap wh-what fghaseguk this went batshit didnt it. i wish i had the willingness to write at unhinged as these writers one more media that i am surpised didnt end in a poly relationship this climax is eerily familiar to the live action movies at times and then they all died and went to heaven aww Rickee and Cassidy *and* Velma and Marcie, aww, my heart will heart to think about that one for long, but awwwww Miskatonik University, or however the heck it is said. i thought it was going to be a one off joke but wasn't expecting that.

oh look its your local fixated friend with even more mp100 hcs already
Teru tries learning about 1920′s slang
i was looking it up and i can just see him saying some of these things cause theyre so damn petty and also no one would understand him
Teru, yelling at Shou and Ritsu: the banks closed! (1920′s for get a room)
Shou: i dont know what you mean grandpa!
Simple terms i think he’d like: bushwa (bullshit) egg (absurdly wealthy person, oh the irony is too good) know your onions (know whats up)
when talking to Tome Teru accidentally says that people used to sometimes call women “tomato”
cut to Tome fucking dying and preceding to point out every woman by saying something alone the lines of-
“hot damn look at that fine tomato right there Teru”
Shou picks up only one from him after asking about old slang, its noodle juice, it means tea
Mob likes the word zozzled (it means shitfaced)
he likes how many z’s it has
Teru has regrets
everyone thinks Mob is a baby
so the first time they hear mob say fuck theyre shook
like he trips while theyre all walking together and just quietly goes, “ah, fuck” before falling
Ritsu: where did you learn that word???
Mob: Ritsu im your older brother where the fuck do you think i learned it
cut to Ritsu having a crisis for the rest of the day because sweet kind baby boy Mob cusses???
Mob, slamming his head into his maths homework: fuuuuuuuuuuuck
Teru: hey, come on, its not that bad right?
Mob: id rather be possessed by Dimple
just
let Mob say fuck
Teru has such a big gay crush on Mob
Teru, looking out the window of his school like an anime girl™: I wonder what Kageyama-kun is up to?
Mob, in class, crying: i dont understand algebra
Teru, watching Mob nearly faint while gasping for breath after running for 5 minutes: ~wow~
hes whipped
i mean to be fair Mob isnt much better
at least Teru knows he has a crush
Mob’s brain literally anytime he isnt possessed or with Reigen (cause he talks so much you cant think sometimes): TeruTeruTeruTeruTeruTeruTeruTeruTeruTeruTeruTeruTeruTeruTeru
also just a reminder that Reigen wears Heelys, thanks for your time
#mp100#mob psycho 100#mp100 hcs#stfu mel#sdhssgfhkjhgkjdhkgl#i just love them a lot okay???????#terumob#theyre gay and mob just doesnt get it sometimes

Symphogear, EP. 4 (Cont)
The gremlin challenges Tsubasa, a Symphogear, whose entire shtick is to sing to channel power, to sing.
It dawns on her, however, that Tsubasa is part Greninja. Tsubasa used Shadow-Weaving! It’s super effective.
“tell me, you jellyfish looking weirdo...”
“hey- hey, time out. are you gonna do what i think you’re gonna do. this is gonna like, kill you. you know that, right? that you will literally die? you do understand you can just retreat now or- or just take hibiki away, right? i even told you that was the whole point of this... uh... oh shit.”
“ARE YOU READY TO JAM”
“tsubasa please i will literally lend you my remaining brain cell to stop you from this really stupid mistake”
Dad has entered the server.
“oh my god. oh my god. oh my god. oh my god. o- ryoko. stop breathing on me. this isnt helping my anxiety over my adopted daughter figure literally preparing to kill herself over my commands.”
“sorry babe its just the asthma, forgot my inhaler”
“i cannot FUCKING believe of ALL the opponents i had to fight i had to fight the DUMBEST one on the goddamn block, you idiot, you absolute dunce, RETHINK THIS”
“OH GOD SHE’S DOING IT! SHE’S DOING IT! THE ABSOLUTE MADWOMAN- FUCK- FUCK! GET ME OUT OF HERE! FUCK! FUCK!”
“just used up my last brain cell for this attack, pal. you’re through.”
“NAH, EAT ASS YOU- YOU GODDAMN MANIAC”
“HAHA YEAH, GOT YOU NOW, SLOW WALKING, DRAMA INDUCIN’, PURPLE RAIN CHANN-”
“OH GOD! YOU TELEPORTED! YOU’VE GOT SV_CHEATS SET TO 1, DON’T YOU! NOCLIPPING LIKE NOBODY’S BUSINESS GET OUT OF MY FACE”
“WHOA WHOA WHOA WHAT THE FUCK WHOA I KNOW I CRACKED SOME JOKES BUT WE LITERALLY JUST MET AND I- I GOTTA KNOW PEOPLE FIRST BEFORE THIS SHIT AND- OH GOD PLEASE STOP”
“OH GOD! THIS... RAW, GAY, REPRESSED ENERGY... IT’S... TOO STRONG...”
The gremlin could not begin to comprehend Tsubasa’s intense love for incredibly well-built redheaded women.
Hibiki can, though.
“SO......... MUCH........... SAUCE...................”
“.................................................”
The gremlin retreats after getting her licks. This scene subtly implied something; the Nehushtan armor she wears regenerates over time, which means no matter how much damage it sustains, it will always return in one piece. The same can’t be said for the user, though.
Hibiki runs to Tsubasa, checking if she’s okay, totally oblivious to the gravity of what just happened.
“i came just as i could and ive brought happy meals for everyone”
Genjuro asks if Tsubasa is okay.
I dunno man, this is a pretty tough judgement call here. I mean, is she okay? Pain is a pretty subjective experience, after all.
“oh my god i get it. i get the joke she implied. she wanted to jam. she’s jammed! cause it- it looks like jam! no, wait, its more like sauce...”
It dawns on Hibiki that people actually do die during this job.
Tsubasa, as it turns out, survived her Swan Song. It makes sense that she would because she was naturally receptive to her relic, Ame-No-Habakiri. Still, the injury comes with great gravity. She’s benched for the next season, and it’s likely she’s gonna miss the playoffs.
Stuck on a respirator on the edge of life, Tsubasa will probably look back at this and go, “Gosh, I was such a wild child. Haha. Almost dying and all.”
Hibiki wraps her single braincell around the idea of death. Most main characters aren’t familiar with the concept of death, you see, because most don’t die. But this is Season One Symphogear. Flirting with death is common.
Ogawa comes in to comfort her.
“dumbass had her opponent bound and the gremlin still escaped anyway”
Ogawa then explains shit we already know. Thanks, Ogawa.
“in summation: i get where you’re coming from, but stop fucking saying ‘im gonna replace kanade’, please, im begging you”
Hibiki FINALLY gets it, and naturally upon realizing, feels really bad for it. A real right and true asshole.
“oh thank god i was worried not even that was going to get to you”
Meanwhile, in Tsubasa’s mind...
“ah fuck me. im trapped in metaphor limbo. see, im falling because i clipped my wing, cause i nearly died, you know, like icarus and shit”
“hold up my gay senses are tingling”
Her senses confirmed. Kanade is in her mind, in probably the most romantic metaphor possible. There is absolutely no way to interpret all of this platonically.
Tsubasa is literally submerged in a sea of her own emotions...
Involving Kanade, and how she strives to be like her and honor her memory.
SHE LITERALLY DROWNS IN THOSE EMOTIONS, SUBMERGING DEEPER INTO THE WATER.
youtube
Tsubasa, in her Symphogear Brand Medical Cocoon for the Dumb and Beaten Down, quietly slumbers in her semi-comatose state as she wrestles the water metaphors of her own sexual identity.
The poor thing just misses her girlfriend.
Meanwhile, Hibiki sits and thinks more than usual. In a flashback, Genjuro muses about how The Gremlin wanted to kidnap Hibiki.
“i dunno maybe The Gremlin’s super lonely or shit”
“i mean if thats the case ill just adopt her too”
Since Tsubasa is away, Hibiki has to pick up the quota for teenage angst in the 2nd Division. Unfortunately, she has very big shoes to fill, but Hibiki isn’t one for slacking in the misery department. She blames herself for everything.
“im really going to fire the therapist we have around here for being pretty damn useless”
“can i be the therapist?”
“ryoko i am absolutely begging you to filter your bad ideas given the several teenage crises we’re dealing with right now”
Hibiki then yells out, for what is possibly the third time, out of the blue:
“I HAVE PEOPLE I WANT TO PROTECT”
The flashback ends.
And speaking of girlfriends.
“there is no force on this planet stopping me from having some quality fucking time with my girlfriend damnit”
Miku points out Hibiki has been pretty lonely. Says she heard it from a friend who, heard it from a friend who, heard it from another she was messin’ ‘round.
Unfortunately, Miku is a goddamned chad.
Immediate handholding. Make no mistake. Behind those soft-spoken eyes lies an absolute master.
“o-oh, my hand, you’re holding it, so smoothly”
“hibiki, you’re my sunshine. i want to soak up your rays so hard that every piece of flesh of my body is horribly mutilated from skin cancer.”
“jesus christ miku at least use sunscreen in your metaphors”
“ill use them just for you, hibiki. just for you.”
Their relationship is interesting. When one of them is sad, the other sorta acts as an angst vacuum. You’ll see them flip flop with their points of misery with each other, but when together, those problems always melt away.
Of course, emphasis on being together. Season 1 is the worst with keep them away from each other.
“Just Be Yourself!” Miku Kohinata, Symphogear, 2012.
“fuck me, you’re right. im the protagonist. i cant just eat shit here the whole time. i gotta do protagonist things!”
“was that an invitation?”
“another time. but now... let’s just catch up.”
And so, they laugh together about how the recorded footage of the meteor shower was all black. Truly the greatest couple of all time.
It is this realization of being her own self, coupled with her renewed gay energy, and new perspective on what she must do, that causes everything to go uphill for her from here. Take note.
Here is where a God is truly born.
Tachibana Hibiki.
The end of this episode cuts to a specific dojo.
Genjuro’s dojo.
“i dont fuck around with training, even though i probably should have trained you sooner. you sure about this?”
“dadman either you do this or i will most definitely die next time”
Part of their training involves watching action movies, because Genjuro is so unreal that he should frankly be a fictional character in the very universe he exists in.
Fucking adorable.
“im so conflicted its so clear she’s part of /fit/ now but i cant help but imagine her washboard abs”
Hibiki balls even harder at karaoke now, due to her Symphogear training, and not because she’s secretly Aoi Yuki playing a recolored version of Madoka.
Her significant other is mildly terrified at the superhuman that is slowly unfolding her powers before her eyes.
In the end, things all reach their logical conclusion.
