i think honestly what irritates me about yoshidas work SO much is that people will tell you that banana fish is THE gay manga (ignoring the many things that came before it and were more groundbreaking, ie MW literally having on screen (or like. on panel but still.) gay sex in it and that came out like a decade before BF did) when there really isn't barely any gay rep outside of the pedophiles and the one time ash drops the f slur. like im sorry but somehow yasha, a work she wrote in 1996, has more gay rep in it but also has the same issues.

i truly do not get how people can enjoy banana fish with the rampant racism every 2 pages or the rampant sexual assault plotlines (on women and ash bc he is just... written like how yoshida writes women lmao) that are handled IMPOSSIBLY bad and sincerely i hoped yasha would be better because it had been like a decade or so between works. and then it proceeds to continue with the heres our blonde genius protagonist who everyone is weird as fuck to and will sexually harrass and everyone finds it a VERY funny joke to point out how feminine he is when theres barely any women in the work (if you exclude the ones that are being raped/killed/creepy to minors. which to be fair yasha has toned down the sa a LOT) and that its funny that hes kind of gay except not really!! and its just absurd to me how it just persists in all of her stuff because she is not an author that handles gay stuff well. like the scene in banana fish where ash is completely ok getting gang raped and did it solely to get into the hospital when its been SHOWN that he has a lot of trauma with that. and then right after his friend makes a joke at ash's expense about that. like sincerely and genuinely is this what we are hyping up as the old retro gay manga. go read some tezuka and stop reading shit that the most the main characters do is share a kiss in a nonromantic sense and is obsessed w making every gay person be evil!!

Reverse Sonic Prime AU — Character/Cast List

For context here’s the first post of me talking about the idea of this AU

I’m in the middle of rewriting season 2 and I want to post the complete rewrite of season 1 but I feel like

I have to make a character/cast list first cuz literally all of the New Yoke City, Boscage Maze, and No Place are different except for the Chaos Council and Big (somehow he remains the universal constant lol) AND

I still haven’t seen season 3 so I could still change it based on what I see in it — the same applies to this list honestly so disclaimer: all of this is still up for change until I finish season 3 of Sonic Prime

For the sake of this AU working, I’m saying that Sonic Prime ISN’T canon to the games and that it follows a different continuity from it — think like Sonic Boom or the live action Sonic movies where Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles are there but are obviously different from their game counterparts

I’m doing this because I’m adding other canon Sonic characters to the alternate universes as people created by the Paradox Prism to take the places that Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and Rouge left behind by not being shattered — which means they don’t exist in the main universe of Green Hill in Sonic Prime, similar to all of the Chaos Council being made for New Yoke City all of them not existing outside of it

New Yoke City Characters

Like I said, the Chaos Council remain the same, but Rebel, Knucks, Rusty, and Nine are replaced by Blaze, Silver, Ultimate (NewYoke!Shadow), and Sneak (NewYoke!Sonic)

Blaze and Silver take Rebel and Knucks’ place in the story and they don’t have their powers purely cuz they’d be incredibly overpowered if they had them — the Chaos Council would’ve been destroyed day 1 lmao

Ultimate is the New Yoke version of Shadow and takes Rusty’s place in the story, tho he’s gonna have history with Sneak obviously

Sneak is the New Yoke version of Sonic and takes Nine’s place in the story — instead of being bullied like Nine, he used to be part of the Resistance along with Blaze and Silver, but after losing someone close (*cough cough* Ultimate *cough cough*) and his leg in a battle, he leaves and tries to survive on his own

Boscage Maze Characters

Prim, Gnarly, Mangy, and Thorn are replaced by Espio, Vector, Charmy, Prick & Quill (Boscage!Shadow & Sonic)

Espio, Vector, and Charmy obviously take the places of Prim, Gnarly, Mangy — the only thing that’s different is that, unlike Mangy, Charmy can talk

Prick is the Boscage version of Shadow and takes Thorn’s place in the story, shutting the others out for destroying the forest with their greed but going too far and harming the forest himself in his anger

Quill is the Boscage version of Sonic and takes the place of Thorn’s Birdie — he agrees with Shadow about the others’ greed but is also harmed as Shadow gets more and more possessive of the forest — the constant shadow (heh) of the trees blocking out the sunlight makes it is very difficult for Quill to see what’s on the ground in front of him as he runs, making it so he as to crawl just to make sure he doesn’t constantly trip on rocks or vines (also he doesn’t talk cuz I like making Sonic mute + I think it fits his role)

No Place Characters

I completely changed the story of No Place so, while I say that Batten, Black Rose, Sails, and Dread are “replaced” by Mighty, Ray, Fang, Bark, Bean, Fleet & Doom (NoPlace!Sonic & Shadow), they don’t actually fill the same roles

Mighty and Ray technically take the place of Batten, Black Rose, and Sails, but that’s only because they are part of Fleet’s crew like how Batten, Black Rose, and Sails’ were a part of Dread’s

Captain Fleet is No Place’s version of Sonic and technically takes Dread’s role, his struggle isn’t that he doesn’t want to pirate anymore, but his constant battles with his nemesis

Captain Doom is No Place’s version of Shadow and is Fleet’s nemesis — both of them have half of a map to the Devil’s Lighthouse but refuse to work together to get it because they think the other will steal the treasure for themselves — they battle every day over the map but they’ve never defeated the other

Fang, Bark, and Bean are Doom’s crew of pirates, tho they aren’t very loyal and are tired of Fleet and Doom’s repetitive battles

And that’s all of them for now!! This took a lot longer to type out than I thought, hope yall like my ideas <3

Also if anyone reading this has any of their own ideas for this kind of AU please let me know!!!!!! I’d love to hear about them :]

[alchemiclee]

been looking in tags for a few days now to see if anyone else found the whole high cloud quintet and related story to be a bit.....poorly written, nonsensical, contradictory, full of plot holes and loose ends, etc. apparently i'm not the only one. (and i'm not even talking about shipping stuff, because any time I saw someone mad about bad writing, someone always replies to be homophobic and laugh about failed ships. weirdos.) it could have been so good but was thrown into the garbage for the most part (IF you noticed all the plot holes and contradiction. if not, then it's a fine enough story tbh. I expect most people to see it on surface level and not read all the little hidden lore bits and try to piece it together like my autistic brain did. which is ok! enjoy it if you liked it and ignore me 😆)

[needlesandnilbogs]

The worst part about writing long aus is that you can’t infodump about it (without having to explain everything first so they get the context) unless you’re willing to make someone read 150k words

[gothsuguru]

getting an iced pumpkin chai in the morning and then my personal goal is to spend the whole day writing and i hope i can come back to this post tomorrow and rb w how much progress i’ve made!!!

[tomboyyyaoi]

i cant describe it but people just putting meryl and milly in the background of vashwood instead of just putting them front and centre in their own piece genuinely feels like im being cucked like why did u even bother

like damn maybe id like the ship more if people didnt just go "theyr so cute and soft and married aahhh so so gentle and femme and girly theyr so cyute" then the only time they draw them is like. idfk them walking in on vash and wolfwood fucking eachothers brains out like god. all talk.

[abyssalreds]

gege needs to retire his character death note and hand it off to asagiri i swear 😭

[icewindandboringhorror]

the struggle of just coincidentally disliking a piece of media that a lot of conservatives also dislike, but for completely different reasons, so sometimes you'll see youtube recommended videos like "here's why X was so bad" and you're initially like "oh yaayy, yeah I had a lot of criticisms of that too, I'm curious to finally see someone really break down why the plot didn't work! I love media analysis" and then the video is just "it's bad because there's WOMAN in it!!!" ..........ok....

[mekatrio]

maybe its my poor memory or maybe its bc im more emotional these days or maybe the wretched menstrual cycle but whatever it is i feel like i hvnt cried this much playing a game than i have with tota im Ohhhhhhhhh my god

[volfoss]

actually yeah im making a quick poll on this. for anyone who has been around long enough to remember when i made my massive clamp readathon situation (in which i read every single one of the works they put out) be everyones problem. hi. im doing it again but much worse now. reading about 400 volumes (and more if i can find more) of tezuka osamu's work. i am just curious on the general consensus of if i should upload thoughts as i read each one (ie: one post being like i finished kimba/jungle kingdom, heres my thoughts) or just have a MASSIVE post of hey. read them all heres my thoughts (as i did with clamp. which is when i found out tumblr had a max text limit)

[punmster]

having an existential crisis because I finally cracked and searched up a summary for Manacled and found out one of the DMSMG alternate endings (which I've changed before this) is like. kinda similar to it??

[bitchfitch]

So, Conrí and Gwyn went through a few major story iterations before I settled on their current 'Isekai but it's about a giant wolf man trying to get home to his kids while an old wizard and the wizard's roommate slow him down' but I still have all of my original draft fragments and I found one of them again last night and have been kinda. picking at it. Because there was something There.

These two rival kings with a long standing feud between their families. As different as two men can physically be from each other. Notions of honor and revenge and grudgingly respecting the other despite all the bad blood. There's a Vibe.

A massive wolven monster in a snow storm, its fur just as white as the snow. a young man in red who has Everything, and everything to lose.

But I couldn't make it work. for over a year, I couldn't Find It. the angle. The thing that would make this worth telling.

But Finally. FINALLY. I've found the three things that needed to change to make the story work.

1. They don't meet as equals. The wolven king is aged and settled into his throne, his territory thrives under his reign. The human one is young, his crown still sized to fit his father instead of him, his country is at war and he knows they have no hope of winning it if he can't find an ally to fight with them.

2. The wolven king is still an arrogant cock of a man, but his cruelness is heavily tempered by the fact he's only mean when people are looking. The newly crowned kinglet isn't who has wronged Wolf King even if he is going to use him to get back at the rest of the family. Human King's own arrogance is now tempered by his lack of experience, he acts the part but is fully aware that he doesn't know what he's doing and needs guidance from someone who does.

3. The bad blood is that once upon a time Wolf King had a Wolf Queen, and she dumped him for Human King's (much older relative) bc Wolf King sucks and to this day he Still believes she was forced to leave him and not that she just got tired of his shit and left 100% of her own accord.

I haven't come up with names for the secondary and tertiary cast yet but Wolf King is Maelgwn, and human king is Erasyl. When I have time and brain space for it I'm drawing them and bitching about having to name them that instead of Conrí and Gwyn. bc like. These were the characters Those names were chosen for originally and they fit these guys better than the Isekai guys.
