The Winner of the Which MXTX Character do You Most Want to Study Like a Little Bug Tournament Bracket:

Winning by 4.2% after an incredibly tense and uncertain race, Shen (Yuan) Qingqiu has officially beaten Nie Huaisang and been crowned the MXTX character that the fandom would most like to study like a little bug!!!

It is truly a marvel that just some millenial keyboard warrior managed to win out over so many uber-tragic xianxia characters in the fascinating weirdness race. Congratulations Sqq for your bafflingly unhinged brain and gay denial.

I hope you all enjoy putting him in your bug jars, and thank you once again to everyone who voted! This poll was a blast to run, and y'all have brought me much joy with your tags and replies this week.

SF6 announced it's second slate of DLC and there's precisely 1 non-controversial character in it

Yeah and precisely 1 character in there I give a shit about lmao

Yeah, sure, I mean come on they were always going to bring Bison back, he was like the number two most requested in a recent poll and they've been prepping the groundwork for a while. I'm not gonna say I wanted Bison back, but he's the most iconic fighting game villain, we all saw it coming. Either way, everybody who's come back for Street Fighter 6 has come back as the coolest and greatest they've ever been, and I already like Bison a lot so, I'm sure they'll make it worthwhile. I definitely think he looks very interesting at least, really want to know what's up with his new design.

I'm not a fan of two slots going to guest characters? Feels like way too much, I didn't even want guest characters to begin with, but okay. See, there are very few returning SF characters I would trade over a brand new SF6 character, the batting average for the newcomers has been the best it's ever been, but if they are deciding to pull back on adding new characters, and instead rework existing characters or add inconsequential guest crowd-pleasers, okay. I'd rather them not add a new character unless they're putting something really good forwards.

Terry, yeah, Terry's great! You guys know I love him. Of course he gets the honor of being the first non-Capcom guest character in Street Fighter, they have a whole connection. I'd be more impressed if Terry didn't also show up in Smash and Fighting Layer and those mobile collabs and everything, but yeah, Terry!

Really couldn't give less of a fuck about Mai though. Yeah yeah, she's popular, if you get to add SNK guys of course you go with her, Capcom knows what the audience wants, whatever, mostly I find it ridiculous that people treat her like she's some kind of peer to Chun-Li. But like I said, I'd rather have a guest character that doesn't mean anything, than a half-baked new character.

See for a while there I was actually scared that Capcom would stop putting Elena in stuff, considering the HUGE backlash to her USFIV self and how that led to a lot of people vocally disliking the character. I'm glad they aren't cowards because OH MY GOD SHE LOOKS AMAZING

I was dead sure they were going to add Ibuki or Makoto before her, and hell I'm still holding out for Makoto! Out of all the SF3 characters I expected them to add, Elena was very far from the top and I'm very glad to be proven wrong.

They're finally giving her clothes! I don't know who at Capcom keeps pushing them to finally put pants on the women and I hope they never stop. Already the best she's ever looked.

I'm not one of those people that only likes Elena because she has a funny interaction with Akuma in her ending, she was actually always one of my favorites, but I'd be lying if I said I'm not curious how and if they're gonna pick on that thread given the wonderful job they've done characterizing Akuma.

And oh my god how are they gonna animate her, she was always such a distinct character in the way she moves compared to everyone else. How are they gonna update her to the current standards, or make sure she still stands out? They've done such mind-blowing stuff with Rashid, god I can't wait.

[trophywifetroybarnes]

heyyyy!! LOVED ur fic and was wondering if uve got any new ones in the works?

i answered one ask and then told myself i deserved a treat, hence the delayed response im sorry, thats my bad

that being said, first of all, thank you so much???? you dont know how much that means to me! i'm so glad you enjoyed it.

and, regarding any prospective works, yes actually! i have a longer fic that im currently working on (its the reason for all the over the garden wall posting, the swan posting, and the shirley endgame poll) and honestly its a struggle because ive never quite written something like this before, and considering the pov character is Elijah, its definitely something new for me. but, without going too much into it, its an elijah & ben + elijah & shirley fic first, and a trobed + jeffshirley fic second, even though the original premise i had for it started off as a trobed fic lmao

i do have a smaller oneshot im working on as well. it was based off this post, but i can just explain it here too! so, if you've ever watched Bluey, there's this episode called fairytale. bandit, bluey's father, is telling his kids a "real life fairytale" as a bedtime story, and it involves what he claims is the first ever meeting (short as it is!) he has with chili (their mom) from when they were kids during a vacation at a camp site. however, chili doesnt remember this meeting at all although she does say that her family vacationed there often and so timelines do match up, even if she has no recollection of it. in the end its left open-ended. popular fan theory suggests that the girl bandit met--he didnt get her name, it was a few seconds meeting where she returns his hat to him--was actually brandy, chili's older sister. but regardless, the idea of a small incidental meeting, is just so cute.

and, i also have an annie fic, but thats mostly bc i had like, this need for FBI agent Annie getting with a down on her luck former-conwoman from London. i was watching cw's nancy drew as well as some white collar and i guess the though of it just wouldn't leave me alone.

[angelhummel]

not to be a hater i was just thinking about this recently. the biphobia in Glee is so inconsistent with how its addressed.

like i’m pretty sure the ONLY person who ever gets called out for saying anything remotely biphobic is Kurt (which like im glad bc it was a shitty thing to say. tho i think kurt antis use it to frequently paint this rhetoric that kurt is a bad person bc of one (1) shitty thing he said)

meanwhile santana can say shitty things about bisexuality bc shes mad that brittany is dating sam and thats apparently fine???? she really has the idea that brittany is betraying her for penis which is bizarre. also i feel like she enabled dani’s biphobia as well.

i love santana, but i feel like this issue is heavily glossed over by fans while kurt’s comment is apparently bad enough to crucify him :/

I know we've talked about it before but I also just thought of it again recently. Bc there was a poll with Here Comes The Sun and someone in the tags was like "I'll vote for anything over Dani's biphobic ass" and it's like well baby girl Santana's biphobic ass is literally standing right next to her. And people sure don't have a problem voting for Santana's songs despite how blatantly biphobic she also is

And also transphobic, we can throw that in there, bc it's always about Penis and Boys hand in hand like there's no other option. Never mind Unique has been on the show for over a season, let's keep equating dick with gross boys and pussy with beautiful lesbian 100% pure sapphic goddesses 😍😍 Bleh it's like they tried to cram in every last shred of offensive sexual language they could think of into one two minute scene

BUT it's not like I'm judging that specific tagger, or anyone else who dislikes Dani. Bc at least Santana is a character with a million other things going for her besides the worst things she's said (exactly like Kurt hi) whereas Dani had like ten lines in her time on the show and half of them were "sapphic goddess" and "i love lady parts" barf

"She enabled Dani's biphobia as well" yeah literally. She could've just said "I was dating a girl and it didn't work out and we broke up" but she specifically threw "and she was bi" into the middle of it like that's part of the reason they broke up lmao. Santana, who tells Brittany that it's okay for her to date someone new, boy or girl, just to throw a fit when Brittany ends up dating Sam and makes it into some weird thing about her need for dick and how she's Less Than bc she's bi. And telling that to a potential new partner so she can reinforce her shitty stereotypes by also being gross about bi people (: Amazing

And anyway bringing it back to Kurt and double standards but like. That's pretty much the only offensive thing Kurt ever said lmao. Like yeah he said some dumb or thoughtless things here and there but if you take out that one glaring fuck up, you're not really left with anything that bad. Whereas if you extract Santana's biphobia from the equation, you're still left with six seasons of racism, homophobia, transphobia, antisemitism, fatphobia...

So yeah :) Double standards, anon, double standards x

[teddybeartoji]

BAHAHAH FOR THE MICKY X READER POLL

NOT THE WAY UR FOLLOWERS ARE ALL INTO THE SAME THING!! I LOVE HOW SIMILAR MINDED WE ARE

i mean so far we're only abt 30 votes in but still!! also it's rlly funny cuz just from the poll alone anyone can tell it's kinda like. you're perceived as rlly extroverted and confident (which makes sense cuz of the safe space you created) and the readers are shy but freaky as well

i mean that's my take on it but!! might be wrong we'll see

ngl i am rlly looking forward to the fic now, i predict two reactions i could have

one i'll take it to heart and might just fall in love with you

two i'll have one of the biggest laughs i've ever had cuz i wont take it seriously

anyways i'm finally in vacations, my exams went kinda averagely?? ngl it's good considering i didnt study all year 🧍 need to fix that, but highschool's finally over!! i hope my vacations will be productive, i kinda wanna get into writing..

i hope life is treating you right and don't forget to take breaks and take care of yourself !!

~ ☀️

HEHEHEHEHEHE i believe the lap thing was in the first place when u sent this in right??? i think it's very cute that it was in the lead lmao ii think i'm gonna take it as seriously as i can bc i really do think the whole concept is so fucking funny!!!!!! so we'll see we'll see that'll actually end up winning hehehe

OMGGG!!!!!!!! YOU'RE FREE NOWW!!!!!!!!!! i'm glad you'll be getting your well-deserved rest now my love!!!!! i hope ur summer goes soso amazingly<33333333 and eeeeee writing!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love writing so fucking much, it genuinely has changed my life for the better lmao i'm so happy i got into it!!!!!!!!!!! i can't wait to hear more of your thoughts hehehe

PICTURED: Reverie moments before burning down Futaba's uncle's house.

I love how this game has flipped me from "i'm not cool with killing Kamoshida" to "i'm gonna slash tires of everyone who even looks at Sojiro funny"

AND THAT IS A PRACTICAL LESSON IN WHY PERSONAL JUSTICE IS FLAWED, TIP YOUR WAITERS

Morgana has a dream/nightmare/vision of his Shadow Self, who is also cat-shaped. Which, one, Morgana popping a Shadow right now would make so much sense tbh given his issues.

Two, he is so fucking distressed about this.

THIS IS SO FUCKING SAD. Morgana, I am on your side, bruh, this sucks so much. Morgana is trying to keep cool but is asking probing questions about if Reverie would still accept him if he was some kind of creature and just.

I feel for Morgana so much, idgaf, come at me.

/breathes out slowly

almost done with Moon. almost done. one more level up and we're DONE with Mishima.

OH. BEE TEE DUBS.

Mishima adds a feature to the Phansite where people can nominate victims for the Thieves. And yeah I said victims, because this is absolutely fucked eight ways to sunday, this is so beyond the pale, why are you SUCH an idiot, Mishima?!

if the Thieves end up hitting someone purely bc their won a popularity poll on the fucking site i s2g

MY PATIENCE FOR RYUJI

IS LITERALLY

AT ZERO.

I cannot fucking deal with how much I want to kick him out of the group, I am screaming inside. If there was a summary of "bad reasons to be a vigilante" he's using it as a fucking checklist.

it is only the process of Reverie being adopted by the Sakuras that is getting me through the darkness right now. Sojiro, I formally apologize for making fun of you at the start of this liveblog, you and Yusuke are the only people I can rely on right now. Please yes I would like some sushi, can I have a tekka don.

THAT IS MY LITTLE SISTER FOLKS

playing this fucking game is like being beaten with a whiffle ball bat and then being handed one (1) treat, over and over

Futaba did such a good job at the beach that she.... does what all people with weird brain stuff do, and we take one victory and immediately overexert ourselves and fuck up the next thing. Like, FOR REAL, relatable, I have BEEN THERE, i was there in the past TWO WEEKS baby.

So Futaba needs back-up in her journey to relearn how to exist int he world, and Reverie is raring to go.

I love her.

lmao the cut to Sae like "HM REPORTS CLAIM THAT YOU ACQUIRED A OLDER BROTHER-LY DEMEANOR BEGINNING IN THE MONTH OF AUGUST. CARE TO EXPLAIN YOURSELF???? BITCH?"

yeah obvsly

back in My Favorite Confidant Link, Kawakami actually calls Reverie in to tell him the exciting news, that she stood up for herself and told the Takases' she wasn't going to pay them anymore and was going to quite her side job to return to her passion for teaching.

Which: thrilling. So happy for her.

AND THEN THE TAKASES SHOW UP.

yanno. it's interesting that the game flat out says "sex worker" I was not anticipating that level of clarity about Kawakami. and given even modern standards and attitudes towards SWers, I'm relieved to see that the Villains of this story are the ones trying to use her status as a sex worker to ruin her life. Because, yeah, that's villainous behavior, Persona! I'm glad we agree on this.

Yeah fuck subtlety tbh, let's wreck these fools. They'll be lucky if Reverie only steals their hearts.

ALSO:

I THINK SHE KNOWS

i also think sojiro knows but that's neither here nor there. Sojiro has proven he can be extremely subtle.

oh the Big Bads are gonna kill the principal aren't they

they're gonna do the mental shutdown on him for being a failure, that's why he's so scared huh

bye bye i guess??????

[spicysix]

ok so inspired by @roykentt i decided to make a poll so i can focus on one of my WIPs because i really need to get my shit together lskdsakd. this is acey's original poll btw

i should've done this earlier but i had so much work i couldn't. but here's the deal:

i'll start working on whatever fic is winning tomorrow whenever i wake up

i think when that happens the winner will be well set, but if by any chance by the end of the poll the winner has changed, i'll also try to write for the new winner

i want to try to focus on the wip until it's finished. if it's one of the multichapters, i'll write until i finish the chapter i'm currently working on

so bc of the previous rule, there's no actual word goal to reach, it's whenever i finish the wip! if i don't, well, fuck me ig

i'll probably do this poll weekly bc i liked the idea of it sdkkdçkskd

if i finish the wip or chapter before the next poll, i'll then focus on the second place. if i also finish the second place (very unlikely), i'll focus on the third place and so on and so forth

you can reblog and help me get more votes!

more about each WIP under the cut

it feels like i'm going home

[beaxmice]

love the girl with the pink/blue hair and funky shades. i'm afraid guitar girl's guitar strap is over the wrong shoulder there..... but maybe she just prefers the weight of it on her right shoulder?? TELL ME ALL THEIR FACTS O GREAT ONE

WAIT IS THE STRAP WRONG I DIDNT REALIZE KSJDKSDS maybe i should've used more references..... just maybe 😭😭😭 and im glad u liked mari !!

im just gonna list like. 1 or 2 facts from each because there's still a lot abt them that i need to work on I've realized lmao

ellie - they learned how to play piano n other instruments because of their dad!! he's the one who taught her :) also she's really clumsy while cooking the kitchen is her archenemy (hence why they just only cooks more complicated stuff with eric around)

mari - the scar on her left eye also damaged her vision a bit, so she has poor eyesight on that eye. she got it from an accident when she was younger (that's the idea at least..... i need to think abt it a little more) plus shes the youngest of 3 siblings!

alex - on his old design, he used to wear a yellow cardigan, and altho hes obv not using it anymore, ive decided to make his favorite color yellow in honor of it :) plus theres a guy he likes later who literally breathes the color yellow so take that as you will

eric - he used to have a big ol interest in dinosaurs as a kid, and even had a plushie! he gave it away when he got older tho (thinking of ellie giving one to him, since he's the one who gave them the froggy plushie)

[throwaway-yandere]

Arlecchino looking over at you not saving for her and going ":) you're skipping me?" (/j)

(also I have some very unhinged thoughts of one of the yans for hydro eidolon darling but I don't wanna spill them out without making it to some silly ass drabble HELPPP)

(anyways hi Kopi/Ansy I'm going to lose it lmao send help I'm delirious and I'm recovering from being sick ahahaha God help me)

(also I have some very unhinged thoughts of one of the yans for hydro eidolon darling but I don't wanna spill them out without making it to some silly ass drabble HELPPP)

Looking at the current poll rn, you better be glad you're in Mt Sumeru and not whether tf they're cooking in the court /j. I was initially saving for only one yandere in @ask-court-genshin but eh. Ehhhhhh. █████ isn't enough. Just. Just one more and maybe I'll satisfy my thirst for yans.

Waiting for the poll to finish so I know which guy is the secone unhinged Love Interest.

Unrelated but huge shoutout to our boy, court jester!Lyney, for waiting on that porch like a patient dog since no one still 𝙫𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙨 the opera house lmfaooooo. Sorry 'Ney, the other eidolon are busy getting strangled by prince Zhongli, rizzing Lumine, dying out of nervousness with Wriothesley, and just straight up hiking up a mountain to avoid the court (≡^∇^≡)

ALSO: SHUSH. KOPICCHINO IS GOING STROMG 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I REFUSE TO BACK DOW—

[best-fnaf-song-competition]

i forgot The polls are up For a week and When i voted, already dead was Losing and i Was terrified :sob:

honestly me And my gc all agreed: these were TOUGH CHOICES. DAMN. you got us fist fighting Over the best songs already LMAO

-cherry anon (desktop And its lack of emojis..)

YIPPEE!!!! THAT MEANS THE BRACKETS ARE GOOD!!!!

I hope Already Dead sweeps as much as it can <3

Also! Fun fact! The way the brackets were initially arranged was from least to most popular by YouTube views + a bonus for every nomination it got, then manually reshuffled to keep things fair if it didn't seem like they were! I did my best and I'm honestly SO glad so many of these ended up being difficult. Even for me! Because it means I'm putting together good songs!

I also think it's really funny when people get mad at brackets cause like. "This is a finale-level matchup" if they can beat each other in the finale they can sweep this whole thing why are you worried. But also THEYRE ALL SUCH GOOD SONGS. I CANT NOT PIT TWO BAD BITCHES AGAINST EACH OTHER

I got off track. Hope you and the group chat are having an excellent time!!!

[gayest-persona-character]

Since i only really have experience with P4 i really gotta wait for the propaganda to vote, very fun poll so far

Glad you're liking it! I have also been having a lot of fun running it, much more than I thought I was going to. This tournament has honestly gotten a bit bigger than I was expecting (I figured only 60 or so people were going to take part, I'm now at just over 200 followers!!) and some of these polls are getting over 300 votes! I'm trying my best to post the propaganda while the polls still have a few days left just in case people such as you (or maybe even someone who hasn't interacted with the persona fandom at all lmao) are voting. I'm well aware that not everyone has had experiences with every persona game. Hell, I'm not even at that point! Hope everyone continues to enjoy the tournament! It brings me joy every day :)

[expensivemistake]

I’m not trying to sound rude or entitled but how come yours and others amazing Klaine/Kurt/Blaine sets do poorly in terms of notes but others gifsets of Brittany or Santana or both do better when I thought Klaine was more popular? It’s sad to see you not get recognized, even if notes don’t matter much I still think you guys deserve more.

Ooh, this is definitely an interesting question. Thank you so much for being sweet about it!! I'm defo not the best gifmaker on here lol. Sometimes I think I get no notes just because my sets are ugly after a few weeks. But I'm really glad you enjoy them!!!

I wanna start by saying that, y'know, notes really don't matter. Especially making Glee content lmao. You can really get yourself tied up in knots about that stuff. Hell, I still do.

But I've definitely thought about this a lot, and I think there's two groups to consider here: dedicated gleeks and general tumblr users.

So, first up, dedicated gleeks.

Now, considering recent polls and stuff, it's clear Kurt and Blaine are the most popular within the dedicated group of people who put time and effort into Glee on here. But I can't help but feel like there's a bit of a divide in terms of Klaine fandom. I'm 21, and obviously didn't watch Glee when it was on, and I feel like sometimes my sets don't make it into the group of Klaine shippers over 30. No hate to those people, by the way! I think a lot of them don't really know we're here, or keep to their groups. But there's definitely a different level of engagement from those people, just because they experience fandom a little differently to how I do.

And the second group, general tumblr users.

Opposed to that, I think there's more general goodwill towards Brittana right now, probably because since Naya died, a lot of people have rediscovered and are really connecting to Santana again. Even if those people aren't actively contributing to the glee bubble, they seem pretty willing to share Santana/Brittana stuff. I've spoken to some other people sometimes about the concept of a gifset "breaking containment", and it definitely feels more likely for Brittana sets to do that. I can't help but think a lot of people who look back at Glee/their Glee days as cringe view Klaine/Kurt/Blaine as a big part of that. There's also a few ideas I have about how generally, people don't understand Kurt in particular and misread him as being a homophobic stereotype of a character.

But those are my thoughts. Obviously they work in conjunction. There's also the general gifmaking problems that plague us all, and that's the unfortunate fact that artistic gifsets never seem to do as well as sets that are literally just scenes (which are obviously beautiful and take time too).

And obviously, I'm preaching to the choir a bit here, but please, if you see a set you like - share it, like it, reblog it, compliment it! Hell, even just send it to me if I've not seen it yet. That's the joy of fandom on here!

[yanderelovlies]

✨Galaxy Anon ✨ here!

I’m doing good. Sorry I didn’t respond for a day. I was really busy that day and hardly had energy to respond! Are you well?

We all need some Joseph in our lives. Also did you see the new designs for the sunny day Jack characters? What’s your opinion and also what’s your favorite artsyle for the characters? I like the second phase the best. They look the best in that.

Yes like I actually forgot what a noun and a verb is and I feel so stupid. Have faith dude you have great work!

At least you stood your ground and that must’ve been awkward I would’ve said no and try to escape as fast as I can.

Thanks I really hope so too. Honestly I know this isn’t the worst situation at least my other co workers leave me alone and don’t antagonize me or anything

Nice. Though I will see if I could do it since my mom is home when I am and she doesn’t know about all of this and definitely would not approve. Also because I usually don’t share my discord since it’s very private to me. I mean only one person I know has my information there and I also suck at discord since I don’t know what the hell I’m doing so I have to think about to share my discord with you. No offense just it’s very private to me. She must’ve seen some shit because people come with weird injuries sometimes or even brutal ones. Oh yeah cuts are scary sometimes especially since I never seen it but one I heard a kid had a cut so bad that you could see the bone and apparently he didn’t even cry. Fucking nightmare fuel there.

That had to be a bitch honestly. Since you had to be a parent in a young age you had less time for school and even less for personal time which everyone needs. That’s actually concerning since lots would get suspicious at this point. Then again if they intervened they mostly wouldn’t care why just the fact you kissed school and think you’re a trouble kid or something. Yeah it adds up since doing both really can put a burden and a heavy load on someone. Wish I could’ve done that because kids are mean as hell but man that must’ve been a lot of days. It’s no problem at all, you deserve to have a listening ear and be able to get that weight off your chest. Thanks viví I will when I’m ready since not to mention I will delete my current account but no worries it’s just to make a new one to start fresh honestly.

Guess we have the fic to thank for this poll and now we getting more smutty works~ Hey I think it’s good, one of the best I’ve seen in this fandom.

It's okay galaxy take the time you need. Life can get busy I'm just glad you are okay 💕 um today wasn't my best day, but I'm sure it will be better tomorrow.

I did! Personally I think they are all so nicely done, and it's so amazing how they've improved over time. I won't lie I really love the current style. It's so pretty and eye-catching.

I've done that before it was so fucking embarrassing lmao. Also thank you dear 💕

It was at first and I felt bad, but I was having a hard time there and I couldn't stay longer then what I had to.

That's true. I hope it stays that way.

That's no problem at all! If you don't feel comfortable with giving discord I totally get it. It was really just a silly suggestion 💕. I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable. Yeah she has seen some shit, and she isn't afraid to share stories. Even when she talks about them I cringe and she just laughs at me lol.

It did take a tole more long-term honestly. Let's just say I'm socially awkward in person and get terrible anxiety in public. I've gotten better thanks to the effort, but I still have a hard time making friends. So when I lost my group recently it's been hard. It's no problem galaxy take all the time you need. I'll be here 💕💕

I'm excited to share them when they are ready tbh.

Gintama final thoughts

*just saying - I don’t really like the ending so if you’re reading this, please be aware that this is just my opinion, the ending doesn’t affect my love for Gintama and I’m just writing my thoughts down

I actually finished the series a week ago, I’m still kinda obsessed with it, especially with the new content flooding like the popularity poll (makes me wanna rewatch that arc) and the exhibition coming up (makes me wanna fly to Japan), I just couldn’t stop rewatching some clips haha

/

Silver Soul and The Final

tbh the ending…I wouldn’t say I like it…silver soul arc is good for some moments but i have a feeling that the arc is very stretched and honestly feels like it should be ended way before. Arcs after shogun assassin arc make sense to me because it’s wrapping up some storylines that sorachi left through out the stories. Example like kagura’s family, isaburo & nobume background and shoyo & his students…but each arc feels very stretched to me and it’s the same pattern…in the beginning, they go save someone and at the end the same dude appear lol

I read it somewhere that sorachi planned to end way before but got asked to extend the series…and he extended. Unfortunately, there was some schedule conflict that at the end jump didn’t give him enough time to finish the arc properly. I don’t know if it’s true and I don’t bother to do the research lol But that’s exactly how I feel about the arc, the plot seems repetitive for multiple arcs and the ending feels rushed…I still like how he planned the ending tho like the very end, but the plot leading up to it…I’m not very fond of it

The Final movie is just...i don't know what to say lol the plot seemed scattered all over the place and it feels like another silver soul but just shorter...It's not like a bad ending, it's just ok to me. Again I still like gintama A LOT it's just the ending is not my tea.

The Battle of Rakuyou

I do love the story with kagura's family. The love between Umibozu and Kouka is romantic and tragic, he wanted to save her, but she just wanted to spend as much time with her family :'(

And the aftermath and trauma respond of losing someone that you love is so real in the story. There's someone like Kamui who became avoidant and distant himself from the family and there's someone like Kagura who wants to save everyone and reunite the family like her mother wished to.

For Kamui, I understand where his struggle came from, I can't say I like him but he's definitely a cool and complicated character. I do like some of the Kamui and Kagura interactions, the siblings relationship is definitely very abusive (which's somehow realistic lmao) but also it's funny sometimes. I'm glad at the end he's trying to recover from the trauma and accept his family.

and of course this arc just made me like Kagura more, especially her strong will to protect her family. She definitely treasure everyone she loves T^T

This reminds me, I saw someone say "if you expect something romantic to happen at the end in gintama, might just as well drop the series" (something like that I dont remember the exact words)

But I totally disagree!!!! Sorachi wrote some good romance in a series that you never expected to have any lol and the variety of love inside gintama is just insane. From falling in love, unrequited love, heartbreak, losing a loved one, divorce, separation, hurting each other out of love, misunderstandings, learning to love, sacrificing for love to fight because of love, what do you mean I can't expect any??

I know romance isn’t the main focus -- the bonds between Gintoki, yorozuya and the people of Edo are what truly matter in this anime. But we can’t ignore that love is also a type of bond. I don’t understand why people who read shonen manga often seem to reject romance. I know it's not the keypoint but you can't exclude it especially gintama have plots that go in depth on love.

Btw I’m not saying I expect them to be pair up at the end, that’s not what i meant, I just think romance or love is also important part of a story

Also, you probably think why I didn't mention anything about Joui4 and Shoyo...um...because I'm still kinda confuse lol I understand where Takasugi came from but I also don't??? I don't hate the character, I just don't understand...yet...so maybe I will read the manga and left another post.

I found out the arc that made me cry so much years ago was the one gintoki became a cat lmao I still teared up a bit but I didn’t cry too hard this time.

Missed the poll but would also like to say that I'd love to see you write for Spencer! 💕

idk how I never saw this, I posted that poll so long ago lmao

I'm glad to know people don't mind me branching out !!! I've always felt like I need to keep things separate (which is why I have two side blogs for other fandoms lol) but idk why, some of my fav writers on here post stuff from all kinds of fandoms so I just gotta get over it

I have a metric ton of spencer wip's and I've really been wanting to write for bucky barnes so I guess look out for that !!
