Meet the crew!!!! [Quick Disclaimer: This is purely fan made. None of these are the creator, Pyxilate (or Pyxilatezero, her alt)'s original characters. This is for the memes, not a serious blog. You could think of them like a VTuber agency, except I’m working alone and I’m not getting paid because I’m too young to legally make money]

⚠️SONGS WITH CURSE WORDS WILL NOT BE COVERED UNLESS A CLEAN VERSION EXISTS OR THE SONG IS EASY TO COVER WITHOUT THEM [E.G. “Eyes Half Closed” BY CRYWOLF]. ⚠️

Lead Singer & Costume Designer Rae Taylor from I’m In Love with the Villainess. Quote: “As long as it doesn’t get in the way of my Claire time.”

Stage Production & Backup Vocalist Elsa Dorothy from Please Bully Me, Miss Villainess. Quote: “If it will make Yvonne like me more, I’m down. What do you mean, I can’t cheese this with magic?”

Choreographer & Backup Vocalist Malori Crowett from Mage & Demon Queen. Quote: “You put me in charge of the choreography? It doesn’t take a genius to know I’m not the most well coordinated. Although… look at the other options.”

Head Publicist & Backup Vocalist Ruby Rose from RWBY. Quote: “You should see the other me. Whom I look like now because anime.”

Music Arrangement & Backup Vocalist Kana Arima from Oshi No Ko. Quote: “After learning that chasing after Aqua was futile, I decided to stay way from the romance department. And then [Hoshino] Ruby literally knocked down my door and said, ‘Hello, not an option.’ So I’m bisexual now.”

[Disclaimer: knowledge of this character is limited solely to the first season of Oshi No Ko as an Anime and not at all extended to the manga]

Manager, Assistant Publicist, and Forbidden from Singing Kino Himari from Whisper Me a Love Song (or Whispering You a Love Song depending on your Google translate history). Quote: “Now I can manage two wonderful bands! Although REMRK is closer to a cover performance group than a band. I wonder…”

All ships/relationships to be noted for character interactions:

I’m in Love With the Villainess: -Rae Taylor x Claire François -Manaria Sousse x Philine Nur -Yuu Bauer x Misha Jur -Lilly Lilium x Clarice Répète III

Really the only ship in Please Bully Me, Miss Villainess: -Elsa Dorothy x Yvonne Smollett

Mage & Demon Queen: -Malori Crowett x Velverosa Ghalaztox -Fenn x Leora -Cerik Aldebrandt x Melathia -Cecilia Doltessa x Fillonne

RWBY & RWBY: Ice Queendom: [there’s a lot] -Ruby Rose (RWBY) x Weiss Schnee (RWBY: Ice Queendom) -Jaune x Trauma [this is a commonly made joke by Ruby] -Yang x Blake (Universal) -Winter x Penny (RWBY) -Sun x Neptune (Universal) -Velvet x Coco (Universal) -Oscar x Whitley (RWBY) -Summer x Raven (RWBY) -Jaune x Pyrrha (RWBY: Ice Queendom) -Ren x Nora (Universal) -Cinder x Emerald (RWBY)

Oshi no Ko: Ruby Hoshino x Kana Arima Aquamarine Hoshino x Akane Kurokawa

Whisper me a Love Song: Kino Himari & Asanagi Yori Izumi Shiho x Mizuguchi Aki

[I know this is a stupid idea. Please refrain from repeating unnecessary reminders of my horrible plans gone awry. Sincerely, Pyxilate]

Fandoms & Ships

I am a true nerd, and as such, continously seek out new media and their fandoms, and become involved with them, while also cyclically coming back to the ones I already love. I am a romantic, and I love seeing love in general (all types of love, not just romantic!), so I am also a very big shipper!

I don't always have a set ship(s) for every fandom I find myself in, nor do I think it necessary to try and "prove" that mine are better than other ships. I like what I like, and I like seeing what others like as well. So I might have OTPs, but I also like engaging with content for all kinds of ships, even true rarepairs.

I also don't think it necessary for a fandom to have ships, so just because I have a listed ship that I like/love, doesn't mean I can't have neutral/objective thoughts and opinions about that particular piece of media.

That being said, here's a list of fandoms I come back to, or keep up with, and a list of ships I have a preference for. OTPs are bolded! Oh, and media (as in the series, books, shows, etc.) are rated according to my opinion!

PRESENTING . . . TRASH CANDY ── ✦ ───

‿︵ ONESHOTS

Hello, everyone. This is Cian and this is an oneshot request page! I've been wanting to do something like this for a while, but whenever I attempted it on Wattpad, it was always a flop. I wish this won't be the case here. I'll be taking ship requests from a variety of media. I will not limit it to a particular fandom, solely because I'm part of a whole bunch and I wanna write for most of them if given the chance. While sending in your request, keep in mind, there are a few rules to this. They are on my profile, so please read them and make sure you understand them well!

I present to you the ships that I'm able to write about. I prefer some more than others and that will be represented. Red for favorites, blue for not favorites but great, and orange for okay. You can request ships outside of this list, but I cannot guarantee that I will do them. Long story short, here is the complete list of the ships!

黄昏のBAY CITY — 1 YEAR EVENT

About 6,710,000,000 results (0.48 seconds)

— Thank you so much for supporting this blog for 1 year! Although I haven’t been posting that often, I assure you that I do have some work in progress! This is just an event to commemorate 1 year of being a writer on tumblr. This will probably be the most content I will deliver in a while. But then again, thank you so much! I hope you enjoy this rerun of character!reader x character. I also think this has been one of my most creative ideas yet, and I initially thought of having a greek God/Goddess-themed event, but I actually don’t know how to execute it.

❥ RULES —

for this event, you can request a character from any media (anime or genshin character) available below, and I will base the reader on that chosen character.

following that, you will also have to give me a character from the media below.

Follow blog rules as well, and see characters that I write for below.

next, I will write about your dynamic with said Anime/Genshin character. the outcome will most likely be a drabble.

example: jolyne!reader x childe, or rengoku!reader x dazai

The start of this event is on 5/21/2022, and ends on 6/20/2022.

Max characters are one (1). Max requests are also one (1).

Obviously, if the character you chose and the character you planned to be paired with are taken, I will answer your request with the link! (ex. Daki!reader x choso, is taken)

However, if it’s another anime character, then I don’t mind! (ex. Daki!reader x gojo, not taken)

There will be a limited number of requests I will be taking per day. However, it does not mean I will stop posting requests after the event.

Please do not rush me! There will also be no NSFW included in this event, please refrain from requesting such.

Obviously, there will be spoilers included with characters in later seasons or events occurring to the character in the series’ following chapters/seasons.

More importantly, do not request the same media where the character reader will be based on as the love interest. (ex. Jotaro!reader x gyro is not allowed!)

STATUS; ONGOING — NO. OF REQS;

❥ PEOPLE ALSO ASK…!

— NOTES: I’m still reading jjba and tbhk, if I get anything wrong please tell me! Also, this also goes for any character I may potentially mischaracterize. Again, hope you guys enjoy the char!reader event rerun LOL

❥ … AVAILABLE HOSTS….| ENTER !

❥ RECOMMENDED…!

— Notes: I didn’t think it was possible for me to write for JJBA. Anyway if you chose Kira to base the reader on, I won’t add his massive hand fetish to be associated with you, although that’s what he’s most known for, instead, I’ll just give you a hand appreciation instead of a hand obsession (im struggling). I didn’t add Johnathan because I literally have no idea how to write him, so sorry for that. Also, I can’t believe I didn’t add Nanami last yr I was appalled honestly. About Diavolo, I am fully aware he has DID, and fearing that I may write it wrong, I decided to leave him out of the characters I’ll be writing for. Bear in mind that in the ‘Others’ category, I have limited knowledge of their characters, but will do my best to write them properly from the description of others. Pucci is a priest, so if there are people who are uncomfy with religious topics, please tell me! I’ll be putting a Pucci Reader tag, so u can mute that if u want. I didn’t add klee diona sayu n qiqi bc I'm not comfy with it, sorry! (btw please request yoriichi or jolyne or gyro or niko they are the literal lomls)

❥ …AVAILABLE PARTNERS…| ENTER… !

— DEMON SLAYER; Kokushibou, Akaza, Douma, Muzan, Yoriichi, The main trio, and the Hashiras

— GENSHIN IMPACT; Kaeya, Diluc, Zhongli, Childe, Albedo, Venti, Kazuha, Dainsleif, Thoma, Itto, Ayato

❥ RECOMMENDED…!

My Review of Mawaru Penguindrum

How did I get into this anime? I’ve known of this anime’s existence for a while and was well-aware that this series was directed by Kunihiko Ikuhara. Anime director of the beautifully complex Revolutionary Girl Utena and…kappas eating people’s asses fame of Sarazanmai! Well, this anime was made somewhere between both of those I just mentioned. And as long as I don’t see penguins eating people’s asses, we’ll be alright!

Kanba and Shoma Takakura are twin brothers living alone with their baby sister Himari. Time has not been kind to this family as these siblings lost their parents a while ago and Himari has been sick her whole life. In fact, Himari is given a few months at the most to live. During one of her brief breaks away from the hospital, Kanba and Shoma take Himari to the aquarium. They do the usual thing like watch the exhibits and buy souveniers. Unfortunately, the day ends in tragedy as Himari collapses. She is immediately transferred to a hospital and is later pronounced dead.

After being dead for a few minutes, Himari jumps up wearing a penguin hat that was recently purchased at the aquarium. Apparently her life has been extended a bit. Being brought back from the dead thanks to a penguin hat was strange enough. Then you have these three penguins hanging around the home all of a sudden doing odd jobs! Then Himari (while wearing the penguin hat) tells her brothers they must find the “Penguin Drum” or Himari will die. Their target for the Penguin Drum lies with a young girl named Ringo Oginome. She contains a diary that supposidely predicts the future. And it goes insane from there!

Survival tactic! Shall we begin?

BETWEEN THE SUB AND THE DUB: So this anime is a couple of years old and dubbed by Sentai Filmworks. It’s what I would expect. You’ve got the usual voices of Monica Rial and Luci Christian. There are the veteran voices like Hilary Haag, Cynthia Martinez, Shelly Calene-Black, and Dave Matranga. You’ve got voices ranging from great to mediocre. And then there’s…Oh dear.

Hello Illich Guardiola. We meet again.

Yeah, he’s one of the main leads of this anime. And we don’t hear him anymore! Reason why is due to the fact that he was charged with sexual assault on a child, but was really getting married to a 16 year old (with her parents as a witness). Regardless of your thoughts on Guardiola, this is one of his final roles before all this happened. And I have the same opinion as many do with a lot of his roles…he’s okay. Aside from that, I noticed there were a lot of cast changes on a lot of the minor characters throughout the dub. I’m not sure what the case was and I didn’t really notice the change all that much. Here’s what you might recognize these folks from.

JAPANESE CAST: *Shoma is played by Ryouhei Kimura (known for Hinata on Angel Beats, Takizawa on Eden of the East, Judar on Magi, Hachiken on Silver Spoons, Hiyori on Free!, and Taishi on Tokyo Ghoul)

*Kanba is played by Subaru Kimura (known for Takeshi on Doraemon and Terasaka on Assassination Classroom)

*Himari is played by Miho Arakawa (known for Concordia on Pokemon BW, Sonia on Danganronpa 3, and Ginko on Yuri Kuma Arashi)

*Ringo is played by Marie Miyake (known for Aki on Silver Spoon and Hideki on Love Live)

ENGLISH CAST: *Shoma is played by Blake Shepard (known for Soma on Food Wars, Otonashi on Angel Beats, Natsume on Inu x Boku SS, Alex on Domestic Girlfriend, Kyousuke on Little Busters, and Laito on Diabolik Lovers)

*Kanba is played by Illich Guardiola (known for Yoshino on Clannad, Takamatsu on Angel Beats, Kanae on Maria Holic, Kuze on ef – a tale of melodies, and Shidou on Highschool of the Dead)

*Himari is played by Monica Rial (known for Bulma on DBZ: Kai, May Chang on FMA: Brotherhood, Index on Railgun/Index, Nyamo on Azumanga Daioh, Stocking on Panty & Stocking, and Mei-rin on Black Butler)

*Ringo is played by Emily Neves (known for Kotomi on Clannad, Kanade on Angel Beats, Minene on Mirai Nikki, Kumin in Chunibyo, and Yuu on Watamote)

SHIPPING: Wow, this gets bat-shit early on! Take a sedative, y’all!

In the early episodes of Mawaru Penguindrum, we see Ringo infatuated with an older man named Tabuki. He’s a teacher at Shoma and Kanba’s school. But it gets creepier when Ringo crawls under this guy’s house to listen to his various noises, steal curry his girlfriend made, use aphrodisiacs on him, and have elaborate plans to seduce this guy. However, it does get a little sad when you realize this girl is trying to win over Tabuki to somehow become her dead sister (that died the day Ringo was born). But then it gets really fucked up when she tries to rape Tabuki not once, but twice. Yes, you heard me! In one episode Ringo comes up from the floor boards naked as a jaybird and tries to jump in bed with him (thankfully he wasn’t at home). Then in another episode, Ringo drugs Tabuki and Shoma, dresses up like Tabuki’s fiancé and was ready to do the deed. We are eight episodes in at this point and hoping to the anime Gods that this kind of batshit insanity ends quickly.

(It doesn’t. It gets worse.)

From one train-wreck of a character to another! Let’s talk about Yuri. This is Tabuki’s fiancé turned wife. This is the woman Ringo was trying to get rid of so she can have Tabuki all to herself. But it turns out Yuri has history involving Ringo’s sister Momoka. Yuri loved Momoka. So much so that she sees Momoka in Ringo and Yuri ends up sexually assaulting Ringo. And that’s just layer one with Tabuki x Yuri. They have their own ambitions and they all involve Ringo’s dead sister. Their love for each other is quite fake. And it wasn’t until Tabuki got stabbed by a jilted lover of Yuri’s that they just settled for each other.

And then you’ve got Masako trying to shower love on Kanba. They’re blood brother and sister.

Can we talk about something normal here?

Right, this is an Ikuhara directed anime. Nothing’s ever going to be normal here.

After learning about the relationship between the Takakura siblings, I wondered who really loved Himari most and if Ringo was going to get any love either. It was very clear that Kanba was the closest to Himari. I know Shoma was the one that saved Himari when they were children, but there are scenes with Kanba accepting items from Himari that he would never normally accept from any female. Not to mention Kanba willing to sacrifice his own being to save Himari more than once.

As for Shoma, I know he had his fill of Ringo and her bullshit early on. But things became a lot more civil between the two. Almost friendly! But then Shoma learned about Ringo’s sister Momoka dying in a terrorist attack and became absolutely riddled with guilt. Well, that’s because Shoma’s parents are to blame for that attack. So he was very distant with Ringo. But we do get a love confession at the end of the series. But…well, shit happens!

THE PENGUINS: In the first episode, Shoma, Tanba, and Himari were given three penguins shortly after visiting the aquarium and getting that penguin hat that changed everything. These penguins can’t be seen by anyone else and throughout each episode, they’re seen doing ridiculous things. Even during the tensest moments of the series, we’ll see one of these little penguins doing something unbelievable. I think the most ridiculous moment has to be in the hospital where we see one of them stealing women’s underwear. Shoma’s in the freakin’ hospital after getting hit by a car and we have to watch a penguin fishing for panties.

Fine, I admit it. I was laughing my ass off when one of the penguins was fishing for panties. I am an immature degenerate.

MARCH 20TH, 1995: In terms of Mawaru Penguindrum, this is a very important date. First of all, it’s the day that Shoma, Kanba, Masako, and Ringo were all born. Not only that, but this was the date of Momoka’s death when she was in that terrorist attack in the train station. But did you know this particular date has left a mark in Japan? That day was when a cult released Sarin gas throughout several trains in Tokyo, killing 13 and injuring over 5000.

FORESHADOWING?!: It might have been some major foreshadowing where we see Ringo’s plush toys every now and then. Normally I wouldn’t give it another glance, but watching this immediately after viewing Sarazanmai and seeing an otter and a kappa together like that, I’m starting to wonder. Mawaru Penguindrum was made in 2011 and Sarazanmai was made in 2019. Maybe Sarazanmai was in the works for many years and we just didn’t know it.

ENDING: So it’s pretty clear that Ringo’s sister Momoka had a powerful diary. So much so that even after Momoka’s death, people want to get their hands on it. Yuri wants it to revive Momoka. Masako wants the diary to make her younger brother Mario better (as he’s sick with the same illness as Himari). Both Yuri and Masako have part of the diary but can’t really do much with it as it is split in half. Momoka was able to create miracles with her diary when she was alive. Things that are written will come true, but comes at a price to Momoka’s body and she would ultimately die from it.

And then we get the bombshell of Takakura family. Kanba isn’t really Shoma’s real brother. He’s really related to Masako (the girl who’s been chasing him down for nearly half the series). They’re twins! And as for Himari, she’s not related to Shoma either. This makes Shoma the only real Takakura. Apparently, Himari was an unwanted child and was sent to a place called the “Child Broiler” to disappear. Hold the ending for a second!

WHAT?! A Child broiler! Where unwanted children are gathered and are burned and turned into smoke. What kind of holocaust shit is this?! Dude, burning children is not cool! I had to do a double-take when Tabuki told his story about that place. But when I learned about Himari almost dying there, oh hell no! I just had to get that off my chest.

BACK TO THE ENDING: Despite Kanba and Himari not really a part of the Takakura family, they’re still getting the brunt of the blame for what their parents did. I mean, their parents are part of a terrorist organization that caused the death of a lot of people. So it does get to the point where Tabuki snaps and tries to kill Himari as revenge for Momoka. And Shoma has been a depressive basket-case since learning about Ringo’s sister dying as a result of his parents. This happy, little family that Shoma, Kanba, and Himari built is crumbling down. Kanba is actually in cahoots with his parents who are still alive and not in prison. Himari and Shoma remember the truth that Himari isn’t really their sister and that Shoma saved her. This leading to Himari leaving Shoma to go with Kanba!

Kanba is pretty far gone at this point. His objective is to save Himari and that’s all. He doesn’t care about his real siblings Masako and Mario. Mario is just as sick as Himari and can only live because of a special penguin hat much like Himari’s. Kanba is following in his parent’s footsteps of setting off bombs and causing mass destruction. In a showdown between him and police, he was already pretty beaten up and Masako ends up saving him and taking the brunt of the attack. And that’s when Sanetoshi steps up!

Yeah, this guy has been seen around almost hauntingly throughout the series. Halfway into the series, he was the doctor with special viles to help Himari live. Yeah, he’s a ghost, but he still twerks things to his liking. He’s the reason why there are two penguin hats and surprise, those hats are really Momoka split in two. Sanetoshi then has Himari and Masako live a little longer. And then he burned Momoka’s diary while Ringo is surrounded by flames. Next to come will be Kanba’s big bang by setting bombs all over the train. A revisit to what his parents did on the day of his birth. Thankfully, he was stopped by Ringo who recited something related to the diary and her sister. We end this stand-off with Shoma admitting his feelings for Ringo and a final touching moment between Kanba and Himari. Kanba and Shoma end up disappearing and wiped away from everyone’s memories.

Okay then!

So Masako and Himari don’t remember them having an older brother and Ringo doesn’t remember being told she was loved. But it’s a happy ending I suppose. Mario and Himari aren’t going to die like what was indicated throughout the series. Tabuki and Yuri are going to stay together and bury the hatchet over losing Momoka all those years ago. But there are still clues that indicate that Shoma and Kanba indeed existed. So will we ever see them again? Who the hell knows? Ikuhara-san gives me headaches.

Yep, it’s an Ikuhara brain-fart classic. It was a fun yet confusing ride. And isn’t it just perfect timing that while watching Penguindrum, they announce a recap movie? The franchise is still as popular as ever if the crowd-funding site reached its donation goal in less than one hour. I know it’s been 10 years since the anime’s debut and it’s only a recap, but who knows! We could get an extra at the end that could indicate a return or something that involves the girls reunited with Kanba and Shoma.

Oh dear…um, who’s gonna play Kanba if this gets picked up overseas? Because there’s no way Illich is ever coming back.

Once again, I always enjoy the art and animation here. No matter what Ikuhara anime you watch, you can tell that there’s so much inspiration from Rose of Versailles. And why not? That’s a great freakin’ anime, somebody relicense it please! But art alone isn’t going to hook a lot of viewers to this one if you aren’t used to this kind of thing. Many of Ikuhara’s animes deal a lot with fate and destiny and going through the weirdest things imaginable in order to get there. It won’t always make a lot of sense. And when you see penguins roaming around doing weird-ass shit, even during the serious moments, you might get thrown off.

Once more, I recommend you watch Revolutionary Girl Utena and Yuri Kuma Arashi first to get your feet wet. Then watch a few Bakemonogatari episodes too. I know Ikuhara isn’t involved in the Monogatari series, but it’s good practice. Then, I think you’ll be ready to take this series on.

If you would like to watch Mawaru Penguindrum, all 26 episodes are available to watch on Hi-Dive.

Now what’s my next Sentai…AND NO, I WILL NOT REVIEW REDO OF HEALER!
