Opla hits different than other live action anime remakes mainly bc it's actually good but it's also just fun. I mean, there's no rush w the pacing (which is impressive considering op is like 1000+ episodes/chapters/movies) and the set design looks so incredibly good like I actually want to go there and see n walk the ships irl fuck Disneyland pirates of the Caribbean bc they actually look cool and habitable and full of character and made with passion. And don't get me started with the acting!!!!! They all did a fantastic job bringing the cast to life down to the smallest detail (dyed hair, not wigs!/ in character having fun like it's anime expo/ their expressions n voices were on point) and yeah they changed a bunch of stuff from the original writing but it works!! Thr villains have more personality and the fight scenes are awesome (seriously!! Plus Nami actually fights instead of running!! She kicks ass w her stick) and the translation from goofy cartoon antics to live action netflix drama actually fits seamlessly, well rehearsed and just the right balance. Costume design again, is fantastic, I want to cosplay now. I'm living. We love to see it

Lily was a prominent character in the fandom and the most popular female character. Along with Wolfstar, Jily (the ship she is a part of) was the most popular ship in the fandom. Since Jegulus became popular, she had been completely sidelined for someone who was a raging bigot in canon, simply because people want to ship James with him.

Mm i feel like you're not looking properly because several of my favourite lily fanarts come from fanartists I've originally followed for jegulus. Considering i post a lot about both jegulus and jily i will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you just needed to rant to an impartial person for a second, which is fine! Feel free to do so, as long as you're being respectful!

I will also give you a little advice to make the fandom experience less frustrating for you, because i get that looking for a ship you like only to find it's at parts overshadowed by other ships sucks, i've also experienced that before.

On tumblr you can blacklist hashtags so they don't show up on your dash anymore! (Settings>account>filtered tags) I would highly recommend you do this with anything you don't like (e.g. jegulus).

this of course only works if the people who you follow tag things, but if they don't tag and you really want to follow them for their other content you could always send them a kind message and ask if they might consider tagging something specific, some (though definitely not all!!!!) will actually do that for you. Just be nice when you ask and keep in mind that not everyone will want to do that

On ao3 you can exclude ships when looking for fics!! If you search for something, then click on "filter" (or look on thr right side on your screen if you're on desktop) you will see that there is an 'exclude' category where you can exclude ships, characters or tags. Make use of that!! Ao3 has an excellent search and filtering function!

Furthermore, if you want to see jily fics where jily isn't just a side ship, you can get a browser extension that only shows you fics where the given ship is the first one listed, so you could still have jily fics without having to exclude wolfstar for example (which is what ao3 otp:true filter does). This is especially good if you're trying to find fics for a ship that very often is just a side ship. Here is a post that explains it in more detail

Lastly a general piece of advice! If you are bothered by something in fandom, do your best to avoid it. If you miss seeing something in fandom, actively go looking for it. The most efficient way to get more jily/lily content is to look for people who make art/fics/cosplay for that and tell them that you like what they do. That way you encourage them to create more of those things :)

I hope this helps and you find more artists and authors whose works you enjoy to find your joy in the fandom again!

If you could make a few changes to Dream Daddy to make it more to your tastes, what would they be?

I take it that scrapping the whole concept and starting from the beginning would constitute more than "a few" changes? All the characters being literal fathers, with so much time devoted to their relationships with their children, is downright weird in what is supposed to be a dating sim, and dad jokes absolutely cannot carry an entire script and get old very fast. I also hate the Dadsona as a concept, and find that customizable main characters sharply limit what can be done with them (including sex scenes). However, if I had to stick to those parameters, and also avoid any explicit content lest it no longer be safe for social media:

Get rid of at least some of the child characters. Maybe one or two of the love interests can still have children for extra development or whatever, but they don't all need them. As much as I don't care for Amanda or for how the game uses her to fill in time that would be better suited to giving the Dadsona a personality beyond bad puns, I imagine she'd have to stay to preserve the theming.

Most of the minigames can be removed, as they add nothing whatsoever to the experience beyond tedium. Brian's route will need to be completely rewritten to not revolve around gimmicky minigame set pieces as much as it does, and to actually feel romantic. Given his physique, he'd be a good opportunity to have the game discuss what "daddy" actually means to queer men, and how Brian feels about that as a part of his relationship with the Dadsona.

Damien needs to be trans beyond the single missable line of dialogue. There are multiple angles to work that in and still keep his Victorian cosplayer who's secretly a boring IT guy characterization. Maybe cosplaying and feeling like he was born in the wrong century got him realizing some things, maybe his love of yaoi fanfiction had something to do with it...just something. Also, while we can't do anything explicit, those ending pinups could stand to be a bit spicier all around. Let Damian show off one of the binders he talks about!

Robert and Joseph's routes should not punish the player for pursuing sex. It's unexpected, prudish, and frankly suggests a rather juvenile understanding of the role of sex in romantic relationships. If the Dadsona sleeps with Robert early but continues to do well on their dates, have him come to the realization that he was wrong to be so disrespectful toward his casual hookups, and that he appreciates the Dadsona for continually making the effort to get close to him even after they've had sex. Joseph's good ending has to be rewritten entirely to not be as awful as it is; have him and Mary agree to an open relationship, or decide to get divorced since neither of them are happy in their marriage (here's one place where the kids not existing would allow for a tidier resolution, if that's a problem). Personally I'd be fine with the thrill of an ongoing adulterous fling, but I know many would consider that inappropriate.

Also with Joseph, if he's going to be a Protestant youth minister his faith needs to actually come into play in the story. How does it affect his perception of his sexuality, and of his failure of a marriage? The answers will of course depend on what denomination he's supposed to be, so clarifying that would be helpful. This would be a nice opportunity to explore the mind of a queer religious person, because they do in fact exist. (Carefully nonspecific American Protestantism may very well be the most boring religious background ever conceived, but at least it's better than nothing?)

Oh, and for the cult ending - Calvinist Protestantism has branches that are essentially death cults already, so lean into those for your wacky non-canon horror scenario instead of dressing Joseph up like a Catholic priest just for the aesthetic.

Craig could stand to feel more bisexual. He already gets hit on by multiple women throughout his route, but throw a man or two in there as well so that when he finally gets with the Dadsona it feels less like he randomly decided to experiment.

Hugo and Matt are more or less fine as far as I can recall. Possibly one or both of them can have fade-to-black sex with the Dadsona before their ending, for extra spice. This would mean that the Dadsona could have sex with multiple men before getting a good ending, but there shouldn't be anything wrong with that. These people should all be mature enough to handle the concept of casual sex.

The Cleopatra rumour is true. I know Denis denied it but I rember in 2017 Denis dismissing the idea if making Dune and he ended up doing. All I'm gonna say is that as a fan of Z from a career point, this is great step for professional career. She is now becoming a leading lady. I'm proud that hard work is paying off. Personally as a black fan, I'm not excited. I feel we have our own history and cosplaying a role of a dead white woman is tired and dull. I was excited about the Ronnie Spector story because it has so much depth and meaning as she was prevalent in black history. Right now Z is the Halle berry of our time. This might be her Monster's ball lol. In future, we will see if the backlash she will get will be worth it. Denis is a great director I'll give him that.

At the end if the day Z is racially ambiguous woman so she can swift easily in roles where ethnicity isnt strict. I also have to remind myself that Z's social fame didn't come solely from black ppl. It's mainly universal. I saw a Z fan who was of Mexican descent on twitter write that they feel represented by Z's media presences as a poc because of her racially ambiguity and that's when I had to let go that she's a rep for black girls and women. And that's okay. When one becomes mainstream the goal to influence everyone not one specific group.

Let's hope it ain't like Flex Alexander in that MJ biopic lol.

What are your thoughts?

https://www.worldofreel.com/blog/2023/11/16/tgnl6tqsyc1j612laxkyic7nyhx4m9

Anon, I am STILL VERY skeptical about this rumor.... And even if Denis IS perhaps planning on filming a Cleopatra film at some point in the future, that STILL doesn't mean that Zendaya, Timothee, and Daniel Craig are starring in it.

Look...Until I get some OFFICIAL casting news about this project from either Variety, THR, or Deadline, I am still lumping this in the "Just rumors" category. 😏

Anon, are you REALLY going to put your trust and faith in this website (that looks like it's just a film fan blog anyway), that couldn't even tweet out the correct DECADE for this supposed upcoming "Cleopatra" movie filming? 😅😅

🤭🤭

Sorry, but I just don't trust World of Reel lol, and Denis' people already contacted this site to dispel the rumor last week anyway. 👇🏾

So, I think that until something official comes out, there's no need in getting all heated over a casting (AND a film) that hasn't even actually been officially announced yet.

Making my cosplay for Comic Con/egx

For Comiccon I am going to be cosplaying Saki K

Saki K is an anime about a boy with psychic power, who has to hide the fact he has psychic powers.

He has pink hair, glasses with green lenses, pink antenna and wears his school uniform, which consists of a cyan/green blaster and to users with a white shirt.

I already have pink hair

I own a white shirt

and a cyan/green jacket and bottoms. Which isn't the same as sakis uniform however it is similar

So all I need to focus on is his glasses and antenna

I started with his glasses by taking a pear of my old glasses

Tracing the shape of the lenses onto paper and then cutting that shape out onto green see through fabric

I then glued it onto the glass

heres some pictures i took st thr comic con!

comicon xmen apocalypse cosplay - Google Search

I guess there's more than one version but really this is what it looks like for real and he's bigger than I was though it's some kind but it's respected at the show elsewhere too because it could be an exo suit and it's big enough that's what it looks like it's terrifying they could be the real thing and we wouldn't know and way to see my nephew he's gonna be huge like this guy and he's gonna go to Comic Con you're gonna think he's plastic as you said he's gonna wear that kind of thing maybe even with a little fake muscle so he doesn't get beat up and it's true he's gonna be gigantic right now he's holding it the same measurements almost exactly and stand annoying but he'll have a growth spurt soon we think we also think he's getting flushed somehow keeps on getting a little sick flushing it and it's true it fleshes the bowels out of the little believe it or not it doesn't absorb everything and secrets out of the intestines into the vowels and then you poop out stuff that's not supposed to be there and two people said sometimes it really smells bad but he leaves behind and it's true and stuff is coming out of there and it accumulates by adjusting it a little bit but mostly it's in the bloodstream and it's not great but that's what he's doing

and it's not great but that's what he's doing I was pretty huge at the Comic Con but this guy is big and bulky he can tell us the cost of him and he's harder than hell and it's a mask he doesn't have a hole so he's standing there and he's almost dying probably and people keep gathering around him and gets hot so I don't know I didn't see the rest but and it happens and it's silicon it's damned hot you have to have it cold out and it's really nice when it's winter believe it or not it's the best time is a Comic Con coming up here in August and he wants to try and get to it he's gonna try and save some money he only has a couple months and he thinks he might be able to do it we wanna try and get him there and he says all I need is a few hundred bucks and it makes it comfortable otherwise he's gonna be hot and annoyed and angry and blows but people can try and wear exo suits and all sorts of things instead of this petty **** you're doing which does nothing and I of course will try and get bulked up I already am and it says none of these weightlifting things have no sugar I said it's stupid we don't care what it tastes like you put fruit in it and we're getting angry and we should be cuz we talk to them at the plant and they blow and see some morons and they're all dying from it. Need to get them out

thr rock

We have so much to do and there's so much stuff to try and get and we have nothing like comparison and we keep going after each other I didn't try and make a deal but I probably should and I don't know how that would work we've talked about it a little this is gonna suck

I know my words really are i'm gonna attack I think it's great it usually doesn't turn out right and he says it probably won't because he'll counter attack from below where he already is and I do see them getting ready so it's gonna suck. As a matter of fact it looks like you might be pulling from the top side. Ohh you hopeless winger

trump he said that last part

and good you see

bja

nope lol

ARR speedruns are getting me through late winter into early spring, as well as allowing me a chance to come up with different characters to give AU Eorzea adventures. I've perfected it from about 10 days in February, to three days in the Eren Jaeger run last month, to possibly 20 hours total in my current Twilight Princess!Zelda run. I'm taking a break now because I'm holding myself accountable to productive decisions lol But considering the rate I've been going I'm almost posi I can manage at most a 24 hour run time.

I've perfected little ways to make it go by as quick as possible: start on Dynamis (NA data center that gives a massive exp boost) and always have food handy for another bit of EXP boost (if an FC invites you and has an EXP boost as well, all the better, but you don't have to rely on this); use NPCs in dungeons and pull big mobs if you're DPS or healer (the tank is beefy and the healer can keep up with him, but i haven't tested out the combo of you tanking + NPC healer yet); sign up with every chocobokeep at aetherytes so you can pass between settlements without spending much gil; use the airship service liberally to also save gil; if you go archer/bard, always use peleton to make sprinting faster; skip cutscenes (which i only condone here bc i've played the game before) and make the language Japanese and the text 9+ speed for the ones you can't skip. For the grand companies, the Immortal Flames or Twin Adders are the better choices since their headquarters are so close to major aetherytes (and will load in faster as opposed to Limsa, where everyone is all the damn time).

Using all this, I started the conjurer/white mage Zelda cosplay run yesterday at 12:30PM and got her to level 50 and unlocked Brayflox by 2AM. I did have to take a break for dinner, so that added about a half hour to the run time, and I did do two side dungeons for another boost of EXP, so that added to the time as well. I don't have gear good enough to solo dungeons at this point, but I can turn in the silver chocobo feathers I have to get some relic gear to help with iLvl and stat increase.

You may be asking yourself, "Krist, why are you doing all this?" And the answer is simply: so Twilight Princess!Zelda can get the Torgal mount and fit my own personal satisfaction of having a lore appropriate mount from her game lmao Also to keep seeing how fast I can get through ARR at this point.

The FFXVI crossover event lasts til May goddamn 8th. I have over a month to do it, but I have an awful sense of FOMO and an insatiable need to put pressure on myself to succeed, so this is how I've tried to come to terms with that. Even though I'm never satisfied with what I do. Even with all these accomplishments, I went to bed last night thinking, "What a waste of time, you're such a loser." And hey, that could be true, but as long as I'm applying myself to things that will actually help me in real life, I don't see the problem.

Which is why I'm spending the day typing up my rewrites draft notebook so I have that to work on in the oncoming draft.

Accountability. Productivity. Accomplishments. I'm capable of all of these, and now I just need to make sure I keep doing them, and that I include myself in these efforts. Looking after my mom and now my stepdad after his sciatica flare up has made me more aware of how easily and readily I'll set aside what I want and need to do for someone else. Reassuring my sister that I'm available to help whenever she needs it makes me aware of how quickly I'll reach out to someone else, but never think to offer that same support to myself.

My goal for the year is to finish this draft--polished, finished, ready for beta readers--by Thanksgiving at the latest. I know I can do it. I know I need to focus, to reach out to other writer friends who are on their indie pub journeys, or keep track of their progress and how they're handling themselves. I need to be more supportive to myself. I need to celebrate how determined I am, even through the hardship and discomfort of having no financial independence (and the BPD impulsivity of overspending when I do have money, combined with the PTSD sense of foreshortened future. Why save money when I can't imagine a need to support myself because I can't imagine wanting to live [which is different from wanting to die, it's simply a total apathy to the concept of existing and wanting to do so]).

I just... need to be better to myself. I need to jump to my own needs the way I do for others. I need to reassure myself the way I do for others. I need to set goals in the immediate and long-term future and meet them, and be proud of meeting them. I need to start looking at my life and what I'm doing in it as things that are good, and useful, and valuable, and necessary, and wonderful, because no one and nothing else is going to give me the life I'm desperate for. I don't get a second chance at this. It's not something I can start over. I'm alive now, whether I like it or not, and I have to keep dedicating myself to things that make me like it.

Even typing that out makes me scowl or cringe away from the very idea. But why? Why don't I want to make myself happy? Why don't I want to make my life better--to make my life my life, how I want it? Why can't I just... be a healthy person? Why can't I like myself--not even love, just like? Why am I repulsed by the very idea of taking care of myself? What happened to make me this way, and how can I fix it?

[spoopyyaoikingdom]

@ the 2 newest people on this thread i hope u get this. I COMPLETELY AGREE. i am a big fan of fanfiction and AUs and thwres so many versions, so many universes, dimensions, multi verses. Ideas and so on and so forth ad infinity. I mean my god. Small criticism is okay i guess but with fandoms as big as DC, Marvel and DP theres PLENTY OF STUFF THAT FITS WHAT ANYONE MIGHT LIKE. Like so much its ridiculous. Ao3, wattpad, ffnet, tumblr, f@cking tiktok even has stuff. Plenty of fandom work, cosplay, stories, various ridiculous amnts of comics movies tv show and cartoons.

@ the asshole guy. Cant remember their name. Naw i dont wanna scroll i feel sick. (Not from this. Im irl sick and enjoyin the fandom): If you really hate this that much tht it completely shuts down your image and your image is that rigid. Plz. Plz GO FIND STUFF U LIKE and rizz up the creators instead of tearing down people that make this kind of stuff. Cuz i for one FUCKING LOVE THIS.

AND it makes sense if you go AU route which is legitimately completely possible and even CANON in ALL 3 FANDOMS to have alternate universes or timelines. Come on now.

Also also dont tell people to read the comjcs. Anything that has bloody comics especially old comics gets revamped like the last 2 people said so many times its ridiculous.

One trope i personally love is where clark gets called on his bullsh!t behaviour qith connor. Mm mm not cool. And i loved superman. Though Flash (barry or wally) and Manhunter will always be my ride or dies.

Same with Civil war. Ive switched to loving all the cap bashing cuz i absolutely. Full on despised him for what he did in the movie. Hell no that was a betrayal and a half. So many things couldve gone wrong with tony stark and hed have died there. He impaled his friend I. THE CHEST. THE COMPROMISED I WEAR A LITERAL REACTOR IN MY CHEST TO STAY ALIVE MAN. thank god he didnt have the reactor there anymore hed have absolutely died!!!! And for his armor but then it was shut down and hes stuck in thr arctic for god knws how long. Like come on now.

On the other hand Bucky is a good dude and deserves better. Poor guy has already had enough war and his best friend drags him into another and nearly (or does cant remember) makes him another war criminal instead of calling his rich damn near king of the US buddy Tony stark. Tony wouldve hated bucky at first but hes not an ass asshole. He knws mind control. Hed have understood the man was brainwashed and even if he didnt like him for what he did. Hed have at least still saved him since hes a victim to. (Though with snark included) but mmm mm ruined my image of sweet cap america in the mcu for sure. Tsk.

Ive rambled a bit. Like i said im sick. Anyway

Tldr: AUs exist. I live the work the people above made (not the one tht was being kinda rude abt "canon"). And if this AU ain't your tea. Plz go find the one tht is. I guarantee. It exists. Thesw 3 fandoms are HUGE. Ridiculously huge.

Have an awesome day <3 also also again really loved the story. Danny dissapointed in you at Vortex and then passin out in mount justice is amazing. And im quite happy in this one batmans not a complete skeptical ass ^-^ its lovely

DP X DC PROMPT BECAUSE FUCK SLEEPING I DON’T NEED OXYGEN

It’s a hard summoning. A horrible summoning. The very worst Constantine’s ever been part of, he was expecting a rough ride with an entity of this power but surely this is excessive?

The Ghost King has been known to accept deals for centuries, and yeah the terms are shit but the world is full on ending and the Justice League are out of better options

When the magic lashes out and takes Doctor Fate to his knees, he begins to doubt what they’re doing

Is this really the better option? Really? Sure, Pariah will take the souls of all their enemies into his army for conquest, but if it costs everyone anyway…

**

Danny wrapped arms, legs, and teeth around the telephone pole in Amity Park, growling against the pull

Of COURSE this had to happen three days after he made a joke about “being the only entity John Constantine hasn’t tried to sell his soul to” to Clockwork

He’s not fucking losing the bet about making it to the end of the week

[tblsomedoodles]

Is a mix of things that make Dee ignorant to medicine. He has sensory issues for one so the idea of anything to do with blood and the body even ba k then made himself sick and while he doesn't get it he knows medicine involves cleaning icky blood from boo boos and stuff and he'd rather not look at that stuff! The fact Splinter had very little medicine or medical supplies, so he made due for the msot part and tried to make any bandage he had last which isn't thr maot hygienic. And the fact he's a softshell. Being a softshell in and of itself isn't gonna prevent him from understanding medications and injuries bit thw way his family treated him in comparison to his harder shelled siblings did his family was protective of him, to the point he'd be coddled for almost every little step with only Leo treating him relatively normally. As a result of the way they'd treat him like he was made of delicate glass, Donnie rarely e er got more than a scrape.

Yeah, i could see all these things playing a big part in Dee not wanting anything to do with Don's medical care. Plus, on the topic of sensory issues, he could very well not like the texture of the medication either. liquid medication can be thick and weird (and some chalky, if i remember correctly? it's been a while since i've taken liquid medication so i'm not entirely positive.) but, any of those could be something he very much doesn't like.

Thank you!

Not necessarily. Altering clothing is a lot different then creating a stuffy from scratch. (trust me, i can make/alter clothes for cosplay but can't make a stuffed animal to save my life.) So just because he altered a suit to fit him (and who's to say he actually made it well. that suit could be full of hidden mistakes that no one else can see), doesn't mean the Red plush is going to look any less lopsided. He is really trying to make the plush but it doesn't quite work how he planned.

Thank you!

That would be exceptionally adorable and either one would love it immensely.

Thank yoU!

Yes! Which is not something Dee is particularly fond of after getting essentially kidnapped by a mutant cat. Dee eventually gets used to Klunk's presence, even eventually liking him. But at first, i think Dee was kinda afraid of the orange fluff ball.

Thank you!

Thank you! but yeah, there's more! I can't remember if i mentioned this, but he does help with Dee's training a bit. He's retired, so he's not the main teacher (he leaves that to Leo and the other boys) but he will sometimes stop in to help.

Grandpa Splinter is also one of the few people little Dee has never tried to bite (the other being April.) He reminds Dee enough of rise Splints that even when he was meeting him for the first time, he let Splinter pick him up and carry him (much to the shock of all his uncles.)

Thank you!

Sky works on switch and we had extra funds in the bank #thankpatreonsupporter(thank patreon supporter) @haruryuu as its help fund things like the blue Cape from the zelda blue red positive negative team. Which was a 25$ or so purchase. Giving me an ocarina too. I know I can unlock more simply by playing and communicating with the community in game. But we are getting ready for another move. The lease is up.

So between trauma response, switches, host switching considerations, the unpacking the rest of the last move, so we can split stuff between in laws and partner and I finally, taking care of 2 dogs (service dog and retired working dog) 4 rats (who are easy except I had bad allergic reactin once and we still havnt fully figured out which thing it is exactly, so have had to be extra careful) the chores, trying to make costumes for owl house cosplay with the in law families kits, and the bs going on here. I just havnt really had the mental capacity to continually play one thing. But the game sky has been really a nice breath of fresh air.

Knowing that soma, the most "masked " "hidden" "inner" alter of the raven subsystem is in love with the game has brought countless alters attention to it.

We'll for sure get the hang of it and eventually reach that finishing thr main quest line thing lol

🤣

We are better with a switch type control system after all (though it's a switch lite and heats up pretty bad) it's better than the phone we will be replacing soon. As that couldn't charge at the same time as playing the game without still losing percentage.

😢

God Bless usa am I right

My performances as Celina from Yugioh Arc-V, and Ranran from Yugioh Go Rush got accepted!!!

I can't wait to cosplay them!!!

Ranran especially! She's a very new character (Her big episode aired litteral hours before thr deadline so it was hard ro get a good picture of her for the application--) meaning not many people will know her (If any at all), but now at least more people will have seen her and will hear of go rush existing!!!

Celina meanwhile... Originally she was just a backup plan incase I couldn't get the files for Ranran ready in time, but now I'm making her duel disk for the performance, and omce again,can't wait to play her!!!

Plus I believe a few members of Inzo (An unnoficial Latvian duel club) will be there, so that'll be fun!

If anyone happens to be at Unicon and sees me, feel free to come talk!!!

[tottymatsuno]

Im bouncing a lot between aus tonight, but my dietai is very interesting to me bc theres several elements to tottys whole general fandom experience, and how they parallel mine.

However Todomatsu actually kinda falls down this similar path of alt right weebism and incelery that I just dont go down and this is bc Todomatsu's f/o (me) is from a pedophilic, and frankly problematic anime. He doesn't quite get it, so the people he ends up interacting with the most tend to be racist, pedophilic incels.

And like he blocks, argues, and pretty much does the most he can to avoid seeing any actual CSA, or whatever, and the series does eventually begin marketing his f/o (me) as an adult, towards an adult audience, but the facial design remains the same, the characterization is still very juvenile, and the biggest difference is the characters more sexualized design (based on my irl body) looking more like a hentai character than not.

Because Todomatsu is completely ignorant of WHY the fandom attracts so many pedos, and why people create CSA art, he ends up becoming very bitter. He fell in love with the character as an adult, and isn't interested in the childhood seasons aside from having white knight fantasies.

Todomatsu initially thought when he would be in the same room as Choromatsu playing it (choro being interested in catching up for the upcoming adult season for predictable reasons) he thinks the show is edgy, heavy handed, and takes itself too seriously as an artform. If you watch it, and see it at face value, it definitely comes across as earnestly trying to depict one sad, yet unsympathetic little girl's life.

So Todomatsu watches the anime always from the framepoint of he's an adult, and he's not sexually interested in children. He does get invested in the idea that Tai-chan's life is going to improve, at least enough not to kill herself. Because the entire premise of the series, and the last episode of each season puts Tai-chan in a situation where suicide is the most logical option.

While watching the first 3 seasons, ova, and theatrical release Todomatsu has a pretty paternal attachment, but because the anime had a 5 year long gap between s4. S4 is marketed as a reboot, and changes genres from being a drama, and psychological horror to being a dark comedy horror. They start producing typical fandom merch like NGE which is inappropriate for the situation at hand, or thr series itself.

Just basically NGE. Statues, cutesy accessories, stuff designed to bait incels bc Tai-chan has a very sexual body, and has been victimized a lot, and the anime panders to this rape culture gaze, where "you can do anything to her and its fine"

Todomatsu himself rebels against this idea because he thinks of himself as Tai-chan's savior, thats the role hes mentally assigned himself, and that's the role his in universe stand in Dotty represents. Since Dotty is just Totty for me, all my hopes ans dreams for love and romance and protection are projected onto him, and thus reinforces the idea that Todomatsu would be the ONLY person to ever treat Tai-chan with love and respect. Because the anime says so.

In order for Todomatsu to engage in the series he has to take it in good faith, that it has to mean MORE than just torture porn of a young girl. When the reality it doesn't.

S4 comes out and Todomatsu's fullblown self shipping, amd shipping thru proxy. S5, and S6 Todomatsu's outright obsessed. He stops trying to impress real girls, or at least those who aren't cosplaying, hes built an alter, and his object of worship is Tai-chan.

But Todomatsu has to be wrong about how he sees Tai-chan. He sees her as this perfect, sympathetic victim, who only seeks out help from the strong (him) and would immediately beg or submit in exchange for protection/power. This isn't true for Tai-chan at all.

And as Todomatsu's obsession grows, his need for genuine connection becomes stronger.

Wait why am i typing all of this i should just keep writing the fic.

Anyways Todomatsu is an incel, misogynist here. It's partially his fault, bc it was reinforced and normalized in the problematic show hes obsessed with, and the community of perverts that make up the fandom. He ends up losing a huge chunk of his will to live outside of his obsession and it shows in the way he sees himself, and takes care of his appearance. He pretty much assimilates with the typical otaku look.

He gets better eventually but he gets way, way WAY worse beforehand.

In my dietai au, Todomatsu works the night shift, and his coworkers Sacchi and Aida (bc its still a cartoon they have amnesia and this is all happening off season), both have crushes on him because he's just so grungy and fixable.

He's generally nice to them, he keeps away the creeps, he helps them as they learn, hes not the assistant manager yet, but hes been there on the night shift the longest. And he also doesn't hit on them which makes him even more attractive bc he clearly is disinterested.

So the combination of being a lil messy with long hair, a few piercings, stubble, nice, saves them from weirdos, and a good coworker he ends up attracting both of them until they ask if hes single. They thought it was kinda cute that his backpack was clearly from some anime, and that he's constantly wearing stealth merch, bc it made him relatable and down to earth, but like the second theyre like "do you like anyone, do you have a gf?"

Todomatsu's just like "im in love with the main character of this tragedy porn anime where its unclear if shes going to kill herself in the end. You have to see it, but I recommend skipping all the CSA in season one bc its hard to watch."

And they're just like... "...huh?"

And hes just like "yeah after s4 it totally switches, there was a 5 year long break between the seasons and it gets super cute moe after that when Tai-chan becomes an adult. My type is whoever has her measurements and can scream like her."

And they unfortunately lose all respect for him. And he doesnt care bc hes here to get money for buying more merch. Hes lost all hope of losing his virginity to someone real and doesnt care anymore if he has the opportunity to. Hes in love.

Hey I was wondering if your ship slots are still open? If not that's totally okay. To start I'm 28 female about 5'8 and looking of either a male or female ship. Im not picky lol.

A bit about me is that I am a bit of a nerd (re: a huge nerd) and that manifests mostly in my need for prints that I put up all over my apartment. And more importantly cosplay. I love to sew and make costumes of my favorite characters. This has bled into my work life as before the dreaded disease I worked in a theater wardrobe making costumes for plays.

I went to school for sewing and fashion design so I got in thr habit of dressing the part, I'm not super elitist I just like to make sure I look nice and always have a pair of sleek boots on hand.

Now onto the most important bit. Who I ship you with. And I think it's totally Paz. He's just so big and probably soft. He only got like less than a minute of screen time but thr fandom characterization of him is pretty much canon now and you two totally belong together.

Hello and thank you for being here! Also I love that you cosplay, I have always wanted to dabble, but I am very much broke lol.

I ship you with Padme Amidala!

Okay so yes this may be the obvious answer with your fashion and design background but honestly it just fits so well. Padme always has the best outfits and wants nothing but the best and I feel like she would absolutely love to wear anything you design for her. She will also pay you as much as you want and then some because of how much she enjoys your work. And if she isn't paying you in money, she's paying you in some kind of poster or print that you mentioned that you wanted to get you hands on or just any artwork she sees from something you like that she thinks you would enjoy. She also likes going and watching the plays  that you designed and made costumes for, just liking seeing your work in action. Padme also loves how you dress, and will sometimes ask if she can dress you herself, and occasionally ask your opinion on what she is wearing. Padme fully supports everything you do, and enjoys your cosplay, especially if it is from something she also enjoys. And don't be surprised if she asks to bring the cosplaying to the bedroom *wink wink*.

Paz is big and soft and I just want a big hug from him! Thank you for thinking my big blue mando and I belong together!
