#and yes even if you are not shipper trash like me i think it's important that a lot of it is played toward faust specifically

[shredsandpatches]

I realize it's very silly to expect any sort of nuanced commentary from one-sentence context summaries of individual operatic arias, but also: this sort of description shows up a lot for this specific aria and I think it's very off, tonally. It's not so much an expression of "hatred" as...affectionate contempt, I guess? The world sucks and people suck and I love that for them, and also, more importantly, for me. (Hear that, squishy human whom I dragged along to this party? I OWN YOUR ASS)

I’m respectfully about to lose my mind at some of the fandom rn with the way buddie shippers are being treated… It’s like no one understands the whole point of shipping a couple is to want them to be together, so duh if something happens that could potentially lead to that pairing they’re going to get excited and theorize? Yes it’s absolutely important for Buck to explore his sexuality outside of buddie but the way people are trying to say that buddie shippers are homophobic for wanting endgame buddie….. when buddie is literally a queer ship? it doesn’t make any sense to me as a queer person myself because it’s like- y’all do realize that buck dating eddie would in fact mean that he is still bisexual, and that people have wanted thst for years, so A) why are we shocked and appalled at buddie shippers for being happy that they are one step closer to endgame buddie, B) why are we calling people homophobic or biphobic when they are quite literally shipping two men together, C) why are we all acting as if buddie endgame hasn’t been simmering just under the surface for YEARS and that if they were going to give us buddie, then thag means buck and eddie would both have to come oit as queer…

I’ve seen so many prominent blogs in the community who have made posts like “buck’s bisexuality has nothing to do with buddie and you are a horrible human for even insinuating that” and so many people are agreeing??? And not to mention the fact that now these same people are trying to villainize and trash on Eddie when in all honesty Buck’s behavior in 7x04 was NOT okay- physically harming someone because they’re not giving you attention is never okay (and i’m saying this as someone whi ADORES Buck, he still needs to be held accountable.)

It just reads very icky to me that so many people are screaming “bi pride” but then spewing all of this vitriol over a ship that would fit within Buck’s bisexuality…

It worries me that the writers are going to see this negativity from people and they’re going to just completely back-burner Eddie’s character in favor of Buck and it disappoints me because even outside of buddie, a major tv show portraying a repressed gay poc with religious and family trauma would be EQUALLY as powerful as Bi Buck is……

but i guess that’s just people only caring about the queer storylines when it’s about a white man since these are also the people acting like Hen and Karen or Michael and David haven’t been there the whole time

but that’s just me i guess….

I’m bullet pointing not to be curt by the way just because I prefer addressing part by part🫶

1. Agreed like this fandom was relatively peaceful then BAM it fully shifted overnight like in the words of Taylor swift THIS IS WHY WE CANT HAVE NICE THINGS

2. Yesss exactly like I’m very much a dont yuck someone else’s yum type of person so like even ships I don’t like I’ll be like okay respect 🫡 enjoy your fandom space love that for you AS LONG AS THEYRE RESPECTFUL TOO and I’m not gonna lie to you I see the primary source of negativity and stuff in the fandom be people who legit never watched anything other than the bucktommy related content (which I kinda have a whole other rant about but I don’t wanna give you miles and miles to read in one ask)

3. Yes to that 100% - buddie is a queer ship the cognitive dissonance it takes to call someone homophobic for shipping them is honestly fascinating atp, Buck is bi canonically now and y’all do realise that who he’s with or if he’s single even doesn’t take away from that right??? Like the rep is THERE and will always be THERE

4. You worded it a bit weird but I got what you meant (I hope) so anyone who didn’t may require a little clarification, the sentiment of bucks bisexuality being separate from buddie I think is 1000% correct and I agree wholeheartedly that a persons sexuality and their journey shouldn’t be just about their love interests but about themselves as a person, the issue people are taking is that 1. The people saying this are saying it on every buddie post even when the same blogs posting it have 177283 posts talking about buck as an individual and as a bisexual man outside of buddie and bucktommy, so it’s sort of become a weaponised statement if that makes sense 2. The buddie shippers are the ones who have been advocating so hard for the show to give us canon bi buck like that’s just fact no one can deny so to the og fans who’ve been here for YEARS (I’ve only started like 2023 ish so I’m not counting myself there) this must be such a total slap in the face to be receiving so much hate now

5. Oh yeah the Eddie bashers can personally come fight me

6. If I’m 100% honest I choose to interpret the basketball injury as being mostly accidental like I think he got too into it and forgot himself and his own force for a second rather than intentionally hurt Eddie, like it so happens in sports, I think it’s like just the after guilt that made him question himself and his motives, idk that may just be me denying canon because it just felt too out of character for me to believe

7. I think the fake bi pride stuff also irks me BAD like some of these people are looking for very surface level superficial representation and if you don’t push for more and more substantial and meaningful representation then you’re gonna get constant variations of the same exact thing and these are also the same people ignoring every other queer character in 911 which is just🙃

8. Idk how much the writers take fandom into account but I constantly say like if they were to listen to fandom they’d go the route they know people wanted for years

9. YES about Eddie’s character like I made a whole post about gay and comphet Eddie and how meaningful it would be because it’s just so so unique and unprecedented

10.HAHSKDK THE CROSSED OUT PART IS WHAT I JUST SAID BUT I DIDNT READ IT GAJSKDKFM

[dichromaticdyke]

you said you werent sure where toki was jacking off in that screenshot-- the bricks look identical to the bricks in the shower room they threw toki into in s2e19 when he was drunk off his ass, so maybe there?

this is gonna be a long response, so it's going under the cut. because when i say @supersaturnnyoomkitty and i have talked about this A LOT, i'm NOT JOKING. but, yes, for a reminder to those who follow me for completely different reasons: when analyzing this scene, i threw that line in as a throwaway, because it's definitely not Toki's room, and the only important thing of note is that he's getting the fuck away from the creepy photos of his parents.

the bricks are a different color and shape, and there aren't any pictures or posters anywhere to be seen.

here's everwhere in mordhaus where we thought it could be: outside the recording studio, the room where facebones addresses the klokateers, and, of course, the bathroom* (*the bathroom theory is way more complicated than it should be).

so, we'll probably never know, because brendon small refuses to email us back, but here are some of our theories as to each of these places.

1- outside the recording room. he's listening to skwisgaar play. now i'm not just saying that because i'm a trash skwistok shipper, i'm also saying that because toki obviously has a very strong attachment to skwisgaar's guitar playing. call it romantic, call it idol worship, call it whatever you want, it doesn't matter—in the credits for Dethalbum III, he thanked skwisgaar's fingers, and his only plans for vacation post-album release were watching skwisgaar play guitar. he's got a problem. (this also goes into my and nyoom's theories about them all having jack-off songs, spawned from her fic "Sensual Playback", don't worry about it, it's not important right now.)

2- the gathering room of klokateers/full dethstaff meetings. uh. that's just. well.

how do you want me to take this anon? do you want me to be serious about this? do you want me to tell you how i've considered the possibility that toki just got as far the fuck away from the photos of his parents as he could and this is where he ended up? because that's my only theory for this. (this does also just sort of go with the fact that most of the walls in mordhaus look like this. it could be ANYWHERE. consider the gathering hall to just be a catch-all for, toki just being a little freak.)

moving swiftly on...

3- the bathroom thing is way more complicated than it should be, and here's why: there's a public/staff bathroom. we see it most prominently when they're all drinking bleach together, and it could very well be there. you mentioned this shower scene specifically:

and that scene is also near identical to murderface's own shower scene when he was scared of being gay (we even see more of the public bathroom in the background):

that would make sense, i guess. BUT—it's implied they all have their own bathrooms, right? pickles and murderface both do, anyway:

not sure why murderface would shower in the public bathroom when he's having his gay panic and you'd think he'd want to be as far away from naked men as possible, but that's not my business.

side note: i just noticed for the first time that murderface took his shorts all the way off to take a shit, but left his demonias on. this man i stg—

i find it hard to believe toki also wouldn't have his own bathroom. i'm not sure if this scene is meant to be in the public bathroom or either murderface's or skwisgaar's, but it's also something to consider:

though, as i'm writing this, i'm coming to a realization that maybe they did all have their own bathrooms prior to the attack on mordhaus. i completely forgot they renovated the whole place. they might have gutted their personal bathrooms and replaced it with a public one, which is why all the showers and bathtubs seem to be there. the shower that toki's in might have been either his own, or a public one that was later expanded after the renovations. either way, i'm positive it's a public bathroom and not one that toki would have had, and i think that for one major reason:

toki's bedroom is so super tiny. especially compared to nathan's or william's bedroom. his bed is small and snug, also. i think he's never really needed anything that big for himself. he grew up extremely deprived and abused, just having anything that was truly his own was all he'd ever wanted. plus, maybe having to sleep in a massive space all by himself might've triggered his memories of being forced to stay alone in the punishment hole for days on end. of course, that's not to say toki doesn't love excess, but given how small his own bedroom is, i don't know where he would even be able to have his own private bathroom.

not to mention, in aotd, we see he doesn't like to go to the bathroom alone. sure, he's regressing in that moment, but i still don't think he likes to be alone, if he can help it—hence the stuffed animals and pictures of his parents (regardless of how creepy they are, at least he's not alone when they're staring at him).

i think that's my thesis of the whole thing, actually. toki's not being a creepy lil guy on purpose, i don't think. i just think he doesn't wanna jack off in front of his parents, but he also has hang-ups about being alone, so he goes to random places around mordhaus. it's not a kink thing, i'm like. 99% sure. i just think he's still trying to figure out how to be comfortable with himself.

plus, the boys were all ready to suck their own dicks together in the same room. i really don't think any of them would consider it all that weird, so long as toki himself doesn't act weird about it.

When you thought shippers couldn't sink any lower they spew this vomit.

I'm pretty sure the choice of this very "remarkable" date for the funeral was not accidental. She with her family could organize it one day earlier or later if only they wished so. Monaghan is a small parish, I very much doubt all days around Aug 10th were booked out for funerals, weddings, or other ceremonies. But C has now a perfect excuse not to celebrate or even mention the anniversary and mourn her late father instead.

margareth-lv

She’s just a victim of her own fate… 🤦🏻‍♀️

auburncurlslass

There's not one shred of evidence of C and maestro except MC from GRO.UK with zero validation. Z E R O.

loveoutlanderworld

Such a sad coincidence 😔 fate is very interesting. Anyway, she posted a pic of herself with a goat after her wedding, so maybe she will post a pic with a horse or with Adso for her anniversary, you know the “husband” is very shy 😂😂😂

jays911

OMG!!! Stars aligned!!!

auburncurlslass

Omg....what a fucking coincidence!....who would have thought that fate had other ideas regarding Caitriona's bag of lies. August 10, 2019....the fake wedding that never happened...

=================

They posted anniversary wedding photos of Priyanka Chopra and Eleanor Tomlinson and the one with Cait and her brother at the funeral to mock her and Tony, because that photo is of her and Sam "holding each other". Pushing aside the fact that PC and ET don't have crazy shippers stalking their homes and trashing them and their spouses, but do these imbeciles even know how funerals are planned, especially for large families with relatives and friends scattered all over the country or the world? That it takes time to gather everyone who wants to attend? Her family is one of those and her dad was a well liked and respected police officer. He passed away on August 2nd and the funeral was on August 10. Basically one week which is normal to gather everyone together.

They intentionally want her to think of August 10 as a wedding spoiler. This is how evil they are.

I have no doubt that Cait is able to lovingly remember her dad and celebrate her wedding without diminishing either, but these women are so demented they can only think one evil way.

Yes I'm aware of this disgusting piece of bullshit. Several people found it as offensive as you did and reported it to me.

I have only one warning for "dear" Margaret above: karma finds its way sooner rather than later and the amount of bile in her posts regarding C's father's death will come directly back at her.

It's ridiculous that this needs to be said to full grown ups but it's clear by now these idiots don't form a full working neuron together between the lot of them so lets break it down easily. You can't choose when your loved ones die, it happens when it does and then there are formalities and time periods to observe. Finally at such ages there's important stuff and minor stuff and no one of 40 years will throw a tantrum at having their birthday or anniversary or holidays postponed by the death of a close relative FFS.

As for the rest of the stupid post regarding celebrity couples who share their lives on social media, you can't put CB there since she never shared in her SM footage of her private life with her husband or son. It's all under her control, what she shares and what she doesn't.

I'm glad there's the comment above mentioning the marriage certificate from GRO and these lunatics saying it means nothing. At least any outsider tempted by their rubbish would leave the thought immediately at reading that.

[two-sides-samecoin]

Shippers forgetting/ignoring the characters/growth of who they're writing!! By1er people are so obsessed with proof of it being canon or that Mike never loved El that they make him seem horrible to her (and also makes me question if they actually think he'd be good for Will?). Steddies seem to ignore the fact Eddie is kind of a loser and Steve has nothing to redeem himself for (he did it back in season 1) and he wasn't a mega mean bully. R0nance make ls it seem like nothing besides getting Nancy away from men matters.

All of them sometimes make me wonder if the shippers even like half of not both parts of the ships. Do by1ers like Mike? Or Will? Some make them either pathetic or terrible to others in a way I wouldn't want to ship with a character I liked. Do steddies like Steve? Some make him so mean for no reason or a door mat when the appeal was that there wasn't baggage really between them just assumptions and jealousy. Do r0nances like Robin? She often becomes either a tool for a Nancy revelation or all her actual canon personality and connections are devalued. Nancy's past relationships aren't treated as important even though they clearly are to her, or they're portrayed as being horrible and that Robin is the only one to ever respect Nancy (even though arguably Nancy doesn't particularly respect Robin)

okay but literally half of the time im convinved that bylers hate hate hate mike because of the way that they have to make him a horrible person like its so weird. bylers will say that they don't think mike ever loved el romantically which is weird because for years he has shown interest in el like even in season 1. so many people think just because lucas and dustin weere saying that "oh just because you like this girl" was the reason mike kissed her which is just gross if you think about it for one second. honestly i'm so convinved that bylers havent actually watched the show which is funny because they always talk about 'parallels' but majority of thaat is just the, talking out of their asses and never actually watching the show besides with shipper glasses. that is a valid question especially with the scenes that we have seen on screen if mike would be good for will. i think people forget that we only get a glimpse of thesse characters lives so they say that mike is attentive to will but that's because omething UD happened - what about the other days? is mike going to be good for will on normal days?

lol this is long but yeah about steddies - honestly it's weird how this ship has gone from 'i love steve and i want someone that will appreciate him' to completely trashing on steve and making steve live in a hell hole and abusive relationship. please i am in love with how you described that becaause yes eddie is a loser and steve has nothing to redeem himself for. oh ronance is 100% just about getting nancy away from men (specifcally steve which is then hilarious because if you want her away from steve then why choose his best friend?)

im so convinved steddies dont actually like steve because the majority of the content is either making steve into eddie or making steve an agressive bully or makes steve okay with eddie completely disregarding his autonomy. you're literally right about robin like i swear half the content for ronance is just how robin can be nancy's therapist. i also hate how nancy gets the short end of the stick too like her autonomy is disregarded in ronance because now she just wants women which she doesn't want. idk i think they both get the short end but it's sso obvious how robin is just used for people to insert themselves and then use robin to prop up nancy

[millenniumproductions]

As someone who had been watching since the beginning of the series, I actually ENJOYED it (I still do but ever since I saw the episode where Bloodmoon just killed Earth, I've lost some of that emotional connection). It showed that some people still had love for Security Breach despite how broken it was. And this was probably before RUIN and Help Wanted 2 were even thought about by Steel Wool.

I will admit that some of the characters' personalities are kind of bad, but there ARE still some good qualities that they have, just like a real person would considering all of the trauma they each go through.

And I honestly blame the writers for some of the mischaracterization of the characters, and now they're are just using the characters to slander their own fans, like they do to the people who actually enjoy Bloodmoon.

(Seriously, they used Solar's voice actor to compare Bloodmoon to Jeffrey. F*CKING. Dahmer. Who IS a REAL PERSON and is actually a f*cked up person, while Bloodmoon is just a FNAF OC who happens to be like a modern day vampire, like from Vampire: The Masquerade.)

About the VR models: It's VRCHAT. You can't expect EVERY model to be clean as hell, and the Glamrocks and Sun and Moon are the ones that are basically just sort of copied from the original game.

While I understand that SOME of the non-canon FNAF characters can be unnecessary, like Trash Can Man, The Fangirl (which I now believe was another attempt from the writers to slander the fans), some of the OTHERS actually are important, like Eclipse (the OG before RUIN happened), Lunar, Bloodmoon (the OG), Killcode, The Creator, Earth, Ruin Eclipse, and the Astrals.

Earth isn't a black character because the animatronics DON'T. HAVE. ETHNICITIES. They're not like us humans who can't choose what skin color we're born with.

Don't... F*CKING... Compare Lunar to one of those d*mn Loli Shotas.

The animatronics don't have actual ages like us humans either, so it's possible that Lunar just ACTS like a kid (which is also referred to as Age Regression, which is actually a way to cope with certain kinds of trauma) but is still just as aware as an adult would normally be.

About Monty: I actually LIKE Monty in the Sun and Moon Show. And THAT'S a surprise since I like Glamrock Freddy a lot more in the CANON FNAF. So, in a way, it's like the two have swapped popularities for me.

About Old Moon (Moon before he was reset): I will admit I didn't like Old Moon at ALL in the beginning, but he did get SOME redemption before he died, so he got a bit of my respect back.

While I understand that VRCHAT has some... QUESTIONABLE people on it... I've actually met some people on there who are pretty normal and cool.

I do KIND OF agree that the plot has become a bit stale. But that's mostly because of the writers trying to make some characters as UNREDEEMABLE as possible and they care WAY TOO MUCH about what the fans think.

I DO agree that some of the fans can be a bit creepy since some of them have ships like Eclipse/Lunar (Yes, it's actually a thing and I F*CKING hate it), and I can agree that some fans are a bit TOO obsessed with the Bloodmoon Backup (which I've dubbed the "Blooders"), but there are still some normal fans out there that have made some good stuff like fanart, animatics, and animations.

And the Sun/Moon ship... I think some people accidentally confuse it with the ship from the ORIGINAL Security Breach.

(By the way, I AM a Sun x Moon shipper outside of the SAMS community, but I'm able to differentiate between the two.)

I genuinely wanna know why a lot of people seem to like the sun and moon show cause I could not sit through one full episode of that it was the lamest, stupidest shit ever

(I watched different episodes but could not finish one of them I kept trying different ones like "ok maybe this gets better??" cause I like to give things the benefit of the doubt before a genuine critique but spoiler alert, it didn't get better)

-They miss-characterize the fuck out of the canon characters

-The vr models look goofy as hell

-The non-canon characters are so awful and feel like useless fillers (especially earth and bloodmoon, they serve minimal plot purpose)

-Earth is a black character voice acted and played by a white woman (which is pretty weird, they couldn't have casted a black woman to play a black woman?? and before anyone says "earth isn't black" look at her skin tone and hair texture now be honest with yourself)

-Lunar is basically a loli (shota??) since it's been mentioned he's the same age as Eclipse yet he's short and acts like a child

-They mis-characterized monty and moon SO BAD (and sun but it was less noticeable)

-it's vr chat which that alone is a good enough reason to not fw tsams cause vr chat is like a breeding ground for discord mods

-The plot sucks, a 12 year old could have done better than those grown adults

-also so many of the fans are so weird?? In the show sun and moon are like depicted as brothers but then people turn around and ship them, it's weird

idk if it's just me over-analyzing but I cannot be the only person that finds this show unbearable, I feel like the only reason it's popular is because sun and moon fans are really desperate for content since their time in security breach (both the game and dlc) was so limited

this is a genuine opinion I'm not trying to hate on the show (I am) but I really have nothing positive to say about it and I need to know if it's just me cause I notice so many people like this shit show and the lame ass characters for whatever reason, if you have stuff to prove anything I said wrong and I mean like genuinely explain why (not just "you're wrong 😡😡" and giving no reason) then feel free because I'm genuinely curious about the hype for tsams

[epickiya722]

Okay so anyways! Maybe it's just me, but as someone who likes BkDk (both platonic and romantic, I'm not picky), it does irriate me I see Bakugou-critical posts say things like "BkDks are obsessive, they only see that Midoriya rages over Bakugou as if he hasn't rages over anyone else before". (Truth be told if you're gonna be Bakugou-critical, that just tells me you're only going to see bad things and stick to those bad things and not care for like character development.)

Which from my view, is untrue. Yes, shippers will bring up how Midoriya will lose all sense when it comes to Bakugou. But... BKDKS AREN'T THE ONLY SHIPPERS TO DO THAT. KrBks will bring up KrBk moments. Izuocha shippers will bring up Izuocha moments. Tododeku shippers will bring up Tododeku moments. There's nothing wrong with that.

It's just weaponizing it against another ship is the issue for me.

I swear antis be trying to paint BkDk as obsessive with points that OTHER SHIPPERS DO, too. Like, ugh, we get it. Honestly, as a multishipper, it annoys me to see other shippers like that. Seriously, how are you going to say BkDks "delusional" or "obsessive" when saying "they only see BkDk moments" when EVERY SHIPPER DOES THAT WITH THEIR SHIP. EVERY SHIPPER WEARS THE GOGGLES FROM TIME TO TIME, DON'T ACT SO BRAND NEW.

First off, don't call someone "delusional" for liking a ship. That is just wrong. It's not "delusional". It's called "being a fan".

Also!

Running back to the "Midoriya loses sense only pertaining to Bakugou thing". Now this is just me. But a lot of BkDk fics I've read also bring up relationships Midoriya has with other people. And it's something good. Hell, even add in the trope how he always has to save everyone even at the cost of his own safety. Not just Bakugou.

When antis be like "He only ever rages when Bakugou is in danger" it's almost like saying "Midoriya only seems to care about Bakugou, just Bakugou, no one else is important".

Then who in the hell have you've been hanging around with?

The BkDks I follow talk about how Midoriya wants to save everyone, how they adore the relationships he has with other characters, reblog posts about other characters besides Bakugou and Midoriya, have other ships beside BkDk. They don't even be a multishipper, but be supportive of other ships.

I've also seen BkDks post about other characters to bring up good things. I've seen BkDks say they hope Midoriya saves Shigaraki or how they adore Ochaco for being Ochaco. There's even headcanon or joke posts about other characters.

BkDks may bring up BkDk a lot, but! They don't ignore the fact that Midoriya and Bakugou do have other important people in their lives. They don't ignore that the other characters are as important to the story. Maybe some BkDks do, but the ones I seen don't.

And I don't even see BkDks talk negatively about other ships like 24/7 like antis do. Only a couple of times I'll see someone trash talk about another shipper, but only because it's something recent or even just to say "oh I don't ship that anymore, bad experiences".

But to do it every single second? Yeah, no. I don't see that.

And it's not like I don't think other shippers don't have the same mannerisms. I've seen KrBks not talk bad about BkDks at all, just fawn other KrBk. I've read fics where Midoriya isn't treated like the bad guy. He's best friends with Bakugou and likes Kirishima. (Let's be honest, Midoriya would be down to plan any of his classmates' wedding. Including a KrBk. "Kacchan, he likes Crimson Riot. We gotta--" "Deku, our wedding is not going to be Crimson Riot themed." "... I'll put him on the guest list." "How do you--?" "Connections, Kacchan.")

I just find ship wars very damn annoying. There is no point to them at all for me and it's just sad when I see someone trash talk a ship and be like "this ship reigns supreme" and then troll people. It's stupid.

It's just... really what's the point of being an ass?

Also hypocritical? How are you going say "BkDks only seem to care about BkDk" and then turn around and be like "here's all the moments my ship have"?

It almost feels like you don't want BkDks to have their fun. As if they can't do what other shippers can.

Like how are you going to hate Bakugou for treating Midoriya the way he did when they were younger, but display THE SAME BEHAVIOR to BkDk shippers? Actually be worse because at least he sees how bad he was.

I do like other ships, I do. But I find it hard to gravitate to those shippers when all they'll do is be negative about a ship they could easily ignore. Fandoms are supposed to be fun. When did having a ship turn into a competition?

[miraculouscontent]

I’m really bothered that Love-Square Shippers are now assuming that just because Luka knows Ladybug and Chat Noir’s identities, that he’s a love-square shipper now. I’ve been seeing comics and posts about how “Luka is one of us now 🤪” but is he? I know I’m bias because I like Lukanette, but I didn’t get that vibe from the episode at all. If anything I would say that Luka seemed a bit disappointed/sad that Marinette and Adrien are “destined” to be with each other, not happy? Yeah he wants to be there for them now (I’m assuming based on that last comment he made, “thanks to Ladybug and Chat Noir”), but where on Earth did the episode elude to him shipping the Love-Square? Do you have an opinion on this?

(first, lol, appreciate the jab at them with the “🤪“; it really emphasizes their complete lack of respect)

Not really an "opinion," more just exactly what I've read from one of the ambassadors for the show (though I agree that, fanon-wise, he should be disturbed by the whole "destiny" thing; he would want Marinette to be with someone because she chose to, not because fate chose for her and refused to let her think otherwise, and I'd also say that - if anything - he should be thrown off the love square because Ladybug doesn't love Chat). I'll drop the screenshot mess of tweets along with the summary of them below:

- Yes, the green ice cream in "Wishmaker" is meant to represent Viperion, though the ice cream itself is """platonic/friendship""" ice cream (pretty sure that's a retcon of "Glaciator" but that's not what we're talking about). Honestly, considering that 90% of the current ships in the show are such trash, yes, just give me them being best friends and I can have them get together later in life via fanon; I can't imagine how badly the show would unintentionally ruin their relationship if they were endgame).

- The apparent message between Adrienette VS Lukanette is that Adrien is Marinette's """romantic soulmate""" while Luka is her platonic soulmate. The idea of platonic soulmates is not one I'm vehemently against (people can have multiple friends after all) but of course here we go with "romantic soulmate" and I've already explained how I feel about that. Luka has also apparently known since "Truth" that Adrien was Marinette's soulmate (you know, the episode where the problem was her identity and then they retcon'd it) and thus wants to help them get together. He "has the maturity" to "know that he's already had his chance with her" (after they broke up not due to incompatibility) so he prefers her to be happy with Adrien "if that's what she wants" (not like anyone has bothered asking her what she wants while the narrative holds her at gunpoint, but okay), even though he still loves her.

- The scene of Viperion looking sad after seeing Chat Noir's identity is because "everything makes sense" to him and he emphasizes with how difficult it is for them. Luka also never saw Adrien as "competition" since they're """good friends""" ("Party Crasher" flashbacks over here where Adrien is just handed friendships on a silver platter), and thus it wasn't that he "realized he couldn't compete," which is stupid. He doesn't have low self-esteem either and is the kind of person who isn't affected by much, allowing him to focus on others. He doesn’t need a person to complete him and is his own person. It's not that he isn't "good enough" for Marinette; he is, as they're best friends now, but her heart beats for Adrien (all I'm hearing is "destiny and soulmates") and he understands that.

- This was the thing that annoyed me the most out of all that: Luka will be appearing more, apparently, and now he's an important support for - wait for it - both Marinette and Adrien. Basically, all I got from that is the show going, "oh, thank god this side romance is over; now Luka can focus on the important thing: Adrien!" and Marinette is now going to have her best support shared while her other support betrayed her last episode, unbeknownst to her. Adrien let his identity get revealed by allowing himself to be hit by the akuma, and not only was time reversed so he faced no consequences, but he'll be rewarded as Luka secretly supports him.

The ultimate How I Met Your Mother Finale rant

I know this has been done before, and I know I'm several years late to the party, but I don't care, so IN THIS ESSAY I WILL tell you about why this finale takes the spot as the second-worst finale in TV show history (because Game of Thrones is still, to this day, unbeatable, and it will probably stay like that forever). 

But first, a little context: I've just finished binge-watching HIMYM. This binge has been going on for three days straight (my final exam of the semester is in a week and I should be studying, so the fact that the last few days were a partial waste of time makes me so mad). Second thing: I already knew how it would end, and yes, kids, it does ruin the show for you. It ruins the show so much it makes your blood boil when you rewatch certain scenes, but I will get to that. 

You might want to make yourself a drink because this is a complete list of all the reasons why HIMYM's finale sucks - I'm warning you, it's gonna be looong.

It completely invalidates the entirety of season 9

This is one of the complaints people most often have with this series, and I have to agree. It would have been so much better if the last two episodes never existed, and they just showed Barney and Robin dancing at the reception after walking out of the chapel, Ted noticing Tracy and then the platform scene. "And that, kids, is the story of how I met your mother". Cut scene. Honestly, I don't get the hate people give to season 9, barring the last 2/3 episodes, especially since season 8 was so much worse (except for a few honourable mentions, like The Robin). S8 was slower, less funny, and less deep, and while the authors took a risk by making s9 happen in the span of a weekend it paid off: they took their time introducing the character of the Mother to the gang and fleshing her out. They make sure to highlight all the little ways in which Ted and Tracy are perfect for each other, and even tie up loose ends, like with the Slapsgiving episode, that was a filler but it wasn't boring to watch (although it may be problematic for different reasons, I'm not Chinese, so I can't say for sure if it's cultural appropriation or just the authors making fun of a particular movie genre). 

Some episodes were arguably great: "Daisy" was amazing, and that whole fight between Marshall and Lily was so realistic and well thought out, "Sunrise" was extremely important for Ted's character development, same goes for Tracy and "How Your Mother Met Me", "Bedtime stories" was impressive, "Rally" was incredibly funny and proved once again what a beautiful character Barney Stinson is, so much so that even Robin never has doubts that he (the guy with the biggest commitment issues on the planet) will bail on her before the wedding, and says to Ted that "he always comes back". Daphne's character is super funny and the right amount of annoying, the shenanigans of the gang are well thought out and all of the characters (not just Barney) complete their arc in this season. The last two/three episodes butcher that.

Marshall and Lily

Marshall and Lily, arguably the world's most solid couple, are the only thing this God-awful finale gets right, especially Marshall, who is my second-favourite character, that finally gets everything he deserves. But what about Lily? They never mention her career after Italy, and I refuse to believe she goes back to being a kindergarten teacher as if her year in Rome meant nothing. I also refuse to think she becomes nothing but a political wife, the equivalent of Zoey, but without saving the world. We know she has three kids, but her postpartum depression is never really talked about much and they definitely had the screentime to delve into it. 

Barney

 Where do I even begin? Barney Stinson is, without a doubt, the best character in this series, the glue of the whole gang. I think the message they were trying to give is that, since his trauma stemmed from the absence of a father figure in his life, he could only truly heal by becoming a father as well. People also say that n°31 had to stay just a number, because who could match up with Barney Stinson? First of all, I call BULSHIT on that last point, because Robin wasn't the only girl Barney could have ended up marrying. I used to think that too, but it's just not true: that is the equivalent of saying that Barney was incapable to truly love a woman and commit to her, even after all the development he got, and that he only got one shot at love in life, and that's it. This goes against the point the showrunners try to make by having Ted and Robin end up together AND by having Tracy get with Ted in the first place: "it's never too late, you always have another chance at love, etc." And, let's face it, Barney and Robin are legendary, but Barney and Nora (hell, even Barney and Quinn!) were pretty good together too. 

Second of all, if they wanted to give Barney a kid, they could have easily done that, before Barney married Robin. Barney's "redemption" starts when he gets with Robin the first time, hell maybe even when we meet James for the first time: Nora, Quinn, finding out who his father is, the episode dedicated to the lies his mum told him/finding James' father, him getting to know his own dad, etc... those are all steps along the way. The s9 episode where Barney accepts the relationship between Loretta and the reverend proves how far he's come. So why not give him a daughter BEFORE he proposes to Robin? Have him cheat on Nora/Quinn with n°31, giving him a relapse, and having him get closer to Robin while struggling to be a dad to Ellie. That would have been great. 

Or, you know, don't give him children. What's the point of burning the Playbook if you're going to have him write the second edition? What's the point of having him do a complete 180 in the last few scenes and acting like having a kid is the only thing that makes him change? What's the point of doing that when the show spends entire episodes berating Marshall and Lily for "changing too much" when they have a kid?

Also, Barney is the "challenge accepted" guy. He loves his wife so much, he spent years wanting her, and then he gives up because there is no WiFi in his hotel. How does that make any sense at all? This is Barney Stinson, the "I will fly out to San Francisco and buy Lily a plane ticket", the "I will steal every girl from my best friend just to save him for Lily", the guy that wrote the Playbook (it takes effort to pull those plays off), the guy that planned for weeks his proposal, the guy that waited years to get back at the man who stole his first girlfriend, the guy that makes every night legendary... are you telling me that that guy becomes the equivalent of a bored housewife instead of living his best life while travelling the world? Come on. They don't even try to make it believable.

Ted

While watching seasons 7 and 8, I felt that Ted was becoming the worst character on the show: he was boring, depressed, basically had no good storylines, the whole thing with Victoria was pointless and inconclusive (and the whole "stop being in love with Robin" was completely out of character for her), but whatever, we could have accepted that because it passed the message that two people could be good together, without being soulmates - which, by the way, renders the TedxRobin ship pointless, because they were right for each other, but Ted and Tracy were soulmates. Him being hung up on Robin in the latter seasons is almost pathetic, and the thing he does with the locket is insane, not romantic - BUT I will say this: it can be seen in two ways, depending on who's watching. I personally like the two as friends, so I see the whole thing as a "Dahmer" situation, but I get the people who see it as a "Dobler" one and see what he did as a grand romantic gesture. 

The problem, though, is that the whole TedxRobin ship gets pretty old, pretty fast: it's an annoying on-and-off thing, that should have ended with the locket. Because, yes, Ted was in a dark moment, yes, he was probably depressed, yes, he thought Robin was his only shot at happiness, but he changes during season nine! He spends entire episodes letting go of Robin, including the one where she transforms into a balloon and flies away. Ted is the good guy, ultimately. He is the guy that is genuinely happy for his best friends. In one of the deleted scenes from the finale, he meets Robin years later and says that he's so happy with Tracy he never thought about Robin in that way anymore. All of that gets thrown in the trash. Why do that? To use a Harry Potter metaphor, Ted is Severus Snape, while Barney is James Potter: the former loved the girl of his dreams with all his heart, even to the point of creepiness, but they weren't meant to be together. 

Robin

This, along with the next point, is the worst of all: Robin is the worst character of the entire finale. Her relationship with Ted in season 2 is wonderful, and I say that as a full-on Barney/Robin shipper. There was never a problem in their relationship, apparently, but they then break up because they have an "expiration date" and ultimately want different things in life. Except that Ted is not her soulmate. The only times when Robin wants Ted are the times where (1) she can't have him because he's either trying to move on or (2) the times where it's convenient, for example when they become roommates again and they solve their disputes again. Around that time, we see perfectly that Ted had moved on and that the person getting hurt was Barney. It's one thing to see Ted and Robin in the finale as two people picking up where they had left off after they dated. But this is not the case. 

In season 7, we have the exchange that should have put an end to any and all TedxRobin drama, and that completely invalidates whatever the writers wrote after that about the two of them: Ted declares his love - "I think you know how you feel about me now. I don't think time's gonna change that. Just tell me: do you love me?" To which she answers "No". And Ted also says later to Marshall, that he's "happy because he can finally move on". 

What a load of crap. 

Getting over someone is hard, believe me, I would know. And, oftentimes, it doesn't happen until we find someone else to love (and from the moment he meets Tracy, there is no one else for Ted). But by giving Ted feelings for Robin after this moment, it takes away from the beauty of it- because it's one of the most heartbreaking feelings in the world when you declare your love to someone and they don't love you back. Ted and Robin were both honest at that moment, and it was the last genuinely good exchange between them. After that, during season 8 they try to show us Ted trying to get over her (and failing) and in season 9 Ted getting over her completely. This is also weirdly paced because at the beginning of s8 both are in happy relationships with other people and there's no jealousy (which is good, because at least they weren't toxic) and they seem just friends (when Robin leaves Nick to go see him in the middle of the night, she implies that she would do it for any of her friends), but after Ted breaks up with Veronica because of Robin everything is weirdly coated in this sort of tension between the two: first Ted loves her, but she doesn't, so when he helps her by taking her to Barney's proposal ("which means my best bro in the world has given me his blessing"). 

And, by the way, every time they try to paint Ted as the guy that comes through for Robin after this moment, they dumb down Barney's character. And still fail to make Ted a better guy than him (see: the carousel in Central Park). 

Yes, Robin and Ted have some chemistry, but it is nothing compared to what Robin and Barney have. Every time Robin is jealous of Barney, it doesn't seem like a stupid whim, just because some other child is playing with her toys (except, perhaps, during The Robin). Robin and Barney's relationship would need a whole other post, and the next time I rewatch the series I will write down all the things that make them perfect for each other, but, to me, the biggest difference between the two relationships is this: in season 6, when she's not dating either one of them, Ted accuses Robin of never making him feel needed while they were together, whereas Barney praises her for it. Those are elective affinities: that's what Barney and Robin have, and what Tracy and Ted have. 

Barney and Robin have more or less the same arc: they both get over their fear of commitment and they do that with each other. Time and time again, we are told that if they're ever going to settle down, it would only be with the other. The first time they break up is honestly so stupid, and even when they are broken up, they are the best of friends, which also makes Robin's behaviour in the finale look so stupid. The way the two of them fit together is unparalleled, both in a romantic and a platonic way. 

Think about it: Robin makes Barney a better man, while she makes Ted a worse one. 

Also, the whole point that there are different seasons in life for everything gets thrown out the window: apparently, Ted and Robin (that were a couple that ultimately worked in their young twenties) are the same people in their forties.

But that's not even the worst part. The worst part is that the two final episodes butcher Robin's arc as well: episode 23 starts with Lily saying "I want this girl to be in our lives" and we know Robin never made other friends outside of the gang, because she didn't need to, and now she walks away from everything because of fucking Ted?? This is saying "hey, Robin was only in the group for Ted, who brought her in, and now she leaves because he's not her puppy anymore". Robin was the one that was eternally indecisive between Ted and Barney and you're telling me that three years and many many life experiences later, she's still not sure? 

The point of her story is learning how to get over her fear of commitment, learning how to be there for her friends (there's an entire episode dedicated to that, and it's the one where Lily's pregnant and we meet Robin's ex-best friend in Canada), and how to balance her job and her life. Also, the way her character is treated is un-feminist and un-progressive: she becomes Ted's consolation prize. She is passive throughout s9. She cannot, ultimately, win the modern-day struggle most women have and balance out career and love life, so her true life, her "happy chapter" begins after she has already accomplished everything she wanted to and she's free for Ted. She doesn't even go back to him, she just the prize the main character wanted for all his life and only got in the end because his wife died (ONE SCENE, people, ONE SCENE!). Also, this makes Tracy the "broodmare" that gives him the kids he wanted, and his "happy family" experience before he goes to be with his one true love. 

The mother

This. This makes me so mad. One whole season spent on building up Tracy's character, just for it to go to waste. It would have been so easy to screw her up, but she is hands down the best thing about s9. She's the perfect woman for Ted and the episode shot through her perspective is the sweetest. By the end, I liked her more than Robin and Lily. She was the perfect addition to their group, she fit together with them in a perfect way, and they show us the biggest moment of her and Ted's life... for what? To have her die in a few sentences? And I don't care if they shot a funeral scene, I don't care if the finale was supposed to be 40 minutes long, because, in the end, it wasn't. The scene where Ted meets her is the second most beautiful one (after Barney's proposal to Robin) and the climax of the whole show, but they ruin her... and for what? The chemistry Ted has with her, he has with no one. The joy she brings him, the way she understands him, is unlike any other. I am sure that one of the reasons they killed her off was the shock value and I hate it. 

I cannot stress this enough: Tracy makes Ted a better person. When he's with Robin, Ted is "the nice guy" in the most selfish and narcissistic version of the trope. When he's with Tracy, love comes easy to Ted. Also, the scenes between the two of them are arguably the best Ted scenes of the show.

The kids' reactions (ugh)

It's not really what they say- it's the way they say it. The end of HIMYM was not supposed to be funny, even though the show is a sitcom. It was supposed to be bittersweet and beautiful, because it's the end of an era, and the writers must have known that. So, Ted finishes telling his story, reveals to the audience that their now-beloved Tracy is dead, and the reaction is: "No, ahah, you totally have the hots for Aunt Robin" (their words, not mine). Like, what the actual fuck? I cringed when Penny said that. It's tasteless and not fun at all. Even if it has been six years... It's still your fucking mum, show a little bit of sadness at the thought of her. 

The reason the show ended this way

What makes me especially mad is that I know for a fact that the reason they went with this ending is that it was the original one, always intended for the show, from season 2 onwards. And, if you watch it right after s2, it makes sense. But if you consider the eight years that passed and the massive character development, then no, it's not the best possible one. So many things hadn't been decided yet back in s2, especially about Barney, Ted, and Robin, and I hate that they didn't dare to scrap their work. This ending probably had sentimental meaning to the writers, but authors have to do what's best for their characters, not themselves. It's like with GoT, in a way: I think that the authors were all too aware of the impact of HIMYM and didn't believe that their finale would live up to the expectations... which compelled them to make the worst decision possible?? Every single character is OOC during the episode. Oh, and Marshall and Lily moving in the last episode is a ripoff from Friends (or maybe a tribute? Idk). Anyway, I believe that the authors were too attached to their sentimental version of "what should have been" and didn't give the characters the endings they truly deserved.

"Life works this way" // "Life only moves forward"

Some people say that the show is realistic because that's how life works. But I call super-BS on that. That might be true, and yes, people do get sick and die (Max, Marshall's dad...) and life does go on. But then, you don't frame it the way they did. It's just bad storytelling if you do it like that. And the problem is not the structure of season 9, because the characters develop in that season. The problem isn't even the mother's death. The problem is Ted ending up with Robin because that's not life moving forward for him, that's him, doing the same thing he did in 2005, 25 (twenty-fucking-five) years before! 

In conclusion, this finale is incoherent and inconclusive, and not satisfying at all. The only character that gets a good ending is Marshall: why is that? What makes his ending great? It's the fact that his character arc is respected and he finally gets what he's been working towards for more than ten years.

Not sent to me but I stumbled across this ask and my goodness, the anon says 'no personal opinions attached' then goes on to say some opinionated, bias nonsense. Like dang just admit you're a nae/gami shipper.

In chapter 4, which takes place after chapter 2 which Nae/gami shippers like to hold against TogaFuka shippers, Togami gets Naegi to open a door when they think it could be rigged with a bomb. In chapter 2, which is the same chapter Nae/gami shippers like to hold against TogaFuka shippers, Togami tells Naegi to his face to die. He tells him to die again on at least one other occasion.

^ This is after five free time events together. This is after you, the player, make Naegi hang out with Togami even though Naegi has said before that spending time with Togami makes him feel like he has to be prepared for 'extreme psychological trauma'.

At the end of school mode, where Naegi spends a lot of time with Togami, Naegi says 'Now my goal is to show Byakuya that the way I live *can* bring someone happiness.' That's not healthy.

I do think they eventually become friends, but acting like there is nothing toxic or unhealthy with the dynamic is like... weird. Togami going from treating Naegi like trash to treating Naegi like a friend/person isn't the win you think it is.

'If you make a universe where Toko becomes a better person and realizes her thing for Byakuya is not good and gets over it, and then realizes she has genuine feelings for Byakuya and he does as well after he accepts her apology and sees her differently, all the power to you, but canon Nae//gami is way healthy then canon Togafuka.'

This bit!!! oh my god. So Togami doesn't have to apologise to Naegi for how he treated him? Or is it okay how Togami treated Naegi? Is it romantic? Like you brush all that aside to harp on Fukawa's behaviour. Yes, Fukawa and Togami have been shitty. They have stuff to work through. But like... in DRAE, Fukawa goes from wanting to depend on Togami to wanting him to be able to depend on her. She decides to stay behind and help Ko/maru. She learns friendship/platonic love can be as important as romantic love. At the end of DR1, she literally states she's going to write their story (Togami+Fukawa) but let others be in it. Syo kills guys she finds attractive but won't kill Togami because she genuinely loves him. She shares feelings with Fukawa. Ergo, Fukawa genuinely loves Togami.

Togami's side is more complicated but he will tell her to go away and she does so. Surprise, there are times when he doesn't do that. He holds her portrait in the bad end. There are several hints that he may have had sex with her during the game. After Chapter 4, when he learns not to make light of others' emotions, he compliments Fukawa on finding a knife and appeals to her during the final trial instead of demanding she change alter. Also Togami says that the others may come to him for help - including Naegi! But also including the others, which some people seem to forget. He's not making special exceptions for Naegi. He's trying to be a better friend to all of them, though we barely get to see his interactions with Kirigiri, Asahina and Hagakure bc DR3 anime kiiinda sucked. Togami was also going to collect Fukawa from Towa City but that scene never made it into the anime. When Togami video called Fukawa in the DR3 anime, she ran to the computer knowing it was him. Which implies they do calls togegther. He can also sense her having a fantasy from a long distance, which is interesting.

TogaFuka has plenty of development but some people don't want to acknowledge it. We don't need to make up a universe where this stuff happens when we're already in it, unlike some nahgami shippers who have to make up a universe to fit their fanon.

chapter i

pairing: bakugou katsuki x fem!reader

warnings: cursing.

word count: 3k

summary: the internet is enamored with the idea of y/n l/n and bakugou katsuki, two renowned pro heroes, dating. the first issue? the pair rarely interacts. the second issue? apparently, they hate each other, not that anyone knows about that bit. of course, after one night of many mistakes, the whole world knows.

series masterlist

Y/N’S HEAD IS POUNDING when she wakes up the following day. Her hand coming to rub her temple as she attempts to soothe the throbbing of her own head, the light just barely seeping through her blinds already feels like too much as she rises up in her bed. Blinking a few times, Y/N’s eyes adjust to the light and she sighs, stretching her arms upwards and almost wincing at the sound of her bones cracking.

You’d think that a Pro Hero wouldn’t have such issues, and yet.

Coming to a stand, Y/N hisses at the feeling of her cold floor, frowning before she makes her way towards the hallway and rubbing a hand against her eye. She catches a look of herself in the mirror, hair amiss, makeup that she’d applied from the night before still on— and yet her eye bags seem to have grown. If Y/N is honest, she looks and feels like a mess.

That should be a given though, seeing as she couldn’t even remember how she’d gotten home last night. Though Y/N was sure the news would detail any screw ups she’d made. Sighing as she grabs the TV remote from the coffee table by her couch and clicks the TV on. 

“You’re fucking kidding me.” She mumbles out when the TV turns on to reveal that she is in fact the headline, alongside Bakugou Katsuki. 

Almost on cue, a set of rapid knocks sound against her door and Y/N already knows who it is, again.

It was an accident, Y/N hadn’t meant to get blackout drunk at a literal Gala filled with several respectable and admirable peers from the Pro Hero world. And she certainly hadn’t meant to speak poorly about one of those peers— well, if she could really call Bakugou that at this point. After all there was a reason she spoke poorly of him.

“He’s an— an ill-mannered, rude, insufferable—” Y/N inhaled deeply as she looked to Lorelai, gesturing her hands vividly as she finally said, “bastard!”

Lorelai stands with a hand pressed against her temple, rubbing it gently as though that would end the headache that Y/N had probably caused with her shenanigans. “I warned you.”  She mumbles out before reaching into her pocket and pulling out her phone as Y/N continues to drone on about the young man.

“I ran into him and I was filled with complete and utter rage. Did I do a few questionable things? Yes. Do I regret them—” Y/N sighs, bringing her hands to her face as the news plays in the background before saying, “I do.” 

If Y/N was honest, she wasn’t remorseful at all, not when it was Bakugou they were talking about. But she was embarrassed, she’d acted out like a child and there was no denying it. As much as she disliked the idea, a public apology was probably necessary and a private one to Bakugou was the least she owed him. 

Currently Y/N L/N and Bakugou Katuski were on every headline and front page there were, all because Y/N had elected to get a little too drunk and start talking trash about Bakugou. In the world of Pro Heroes, her word carried a lot of weight, so although it was unprofessional, Y/N had a feeling it was Bakugou’s PR team that was panicking right now. 

"You’re trending.” Comes Lorelai’s words, a hand coming to scratch the back of her neck awkwardly as she looks back up at Y/N, “I suppose that’s good.” 

Y/N had a feeling the people who shipped her with Bakugou were rather devastated upon finding out that the (non-existent) couple that they idolized yet had zero interaction actually hated one another. “Maybe they’ll stop thinking Bakugou and I would ever enter a relationship now.”

Raising a brow, Lorelai looks up to her, typing away at her phone without looking at the keyboard as she replies, “actually they’re shipping you with Pro Hero Deku. They caught quite a few pictures of you two dancing together last night.” Lorelai’s eyes returned to her screen, squinting as she mumbled out, “the Bakugou shippers are disappointed, but they’re still going strong. Something about… enemies to lovers?”

Y/N groans in annoyance, it was beginning to become abundantly clear that nothing good was going to come of this. Not that she expected such a thing, but a girl can hope. With a sigh, she shakes away those thoughts, pushing them to the back of her mind as she looks to Lorelai, “what are we going to do?” 

“I am going to speak with Bakugou’s publicist, and set up a meeting.” Comes Lorelai’s response, bringing the phone to her ear as she made her way towards the door for more privacy. 

Y/N looked to her publicist, brows furrowed, “I don’t want to meet with Bakugou.”

Rolling her eyes, Lorelai gestured to the TV as she replied, “we don’t have much of a choice do we?” Sighing, Lorelai stares at the ringing phone before saying, “you can’t let your issues with Bakugou interfere with your career— you two were bound to work together at some point. Whether you wanted to or not.”

Y/N can easily pick up on the underlying words as Lorelai steps out the door, she’s essentially telling her to suck it up. And though Y/N recognizes that she is absolutely and completely correct— that she unfortunately cannot allow Bakugou’s existence to interfere with her career, that doesn’t mean she can’t be upset about it. 

And besides, avoiding him had gone perfectly fine up until now. Y/N was still wondering what had possessed him to actually attend a public event. Last she’d checked, the boy hated them with a passion, and most of the time they only further damaged his reputation. 

Last night was only more evidence of that fact. 

“You’re right.” Comes Y/N’s words, sighing dejectedly as she sinks further into her couch. “Let me know how it goes.” Even Y/N could recognize that there was no other choice, and well— she had to be mature and realistic about this.

Lorelai steps away, and Y/N finds herself glad that she can’t hear whatever it is the woman is saying as she straightens her posture, sitting up as she crosses her legs on the couch to watch the news. 

“Famed Pro Hero Y/N L/N was caught expressing her true feelings for Bakugou Katsuki, and they certainly weren’t what fans were hoping for.” The woman on the screen leans back in her seat, moving out of the way to gesture to the screen behind her, as she opens her mouth to speak again, Y/N finds herself grabbing the remote and changing the channel with a glare towards the reporter. 

Not that it was her fault, Y/N had a feeling if she had a job with any news station right now, this story would mean everything for her career. But she didn’t, she was a Pro Hero, and she had more important things to do— and even then, weren’t there more important things to report on? 

The screen changes, and this time there’s another woman on the screen, a solemn look on her face as she leans forward on the desk with her hands clasped. “As the anniversary of the villain Stain’s incarceration grows near, civil unrest has begun to worsen. With another copy cat killer on the loose, it seem that people have once again taken to the streets to demand his release, or at least a change in his current life sentence for the murder of—”

Y/N shuts off the TV, grimacing at the reminder of her school years. Each year, crime would spike, so more Pro Heroes would set to work around this time. And each year, the number of casualties for Pro Heroes would practically triple because of all the people that tried to target them. This wouldn’t be the first Stain copy cat they’d seen, and it probably wouldn’t be the last. Most of them didn’t last this long though, caught by the police by their first attempt ideally, if not then their first kill.

Y/N had lost good friends to people like that. 

Exhaling deeply, she comes to a stand, pulling out her phone to see she had several unread messages from Lorelai, all of which were in reference to the current… situation they were dealing with. There were— unsurprisingly— a few messages of concern from Izuku that Y/N can’t help but smile at. The boy had always been too kind for his own good. But what did confuse her were the messages from an unknown number, Y/N’s brows furrowed as she moved to open them. 

UNKNOWN ???

It was only a single message, but it still leaves Y/N confused, few people had access to her number, and for some reason she finds it unnerving as she goes to delete the conversation.

BAKUGOU WISHED HE COULD FORGET the chaos that had been the night before. Alas, every moment was burned into his mind, especially that bit in which Y/N had cursed him out while drunk and maybe something about him trying to fight Deku but that wasn’t really anything out of the ordinary. 

His eyes open to the sound of his alarm, and like clockwork— Bakugou rises from his bed and when his feet hit the floor he’s slipping on a set of house shoes instantly. He’d always been more of the type to live a methodical, routine like, life. Make the bed, cook himself a healthy breakfast if he hadn’t already meal prepped for the week, take a shower, get dressed, go to work. And then do it all over again. 

Bakugou had never felt the need for any spontaneity, seeing as his job provided enough of that. Surprise, there’s a murderer on the loose. Surprise, the murderer targets heroes specifically. Surprise, it's a stain copycat killer. Surprise! He hates Pro Hero Ground Zero more than anything in the world. 

The entirety of last night was not the type of surprise Bakugou was used to. Seeing as his phone is ringing as he tries to make his breakfast, and when he looks to see it’s his publicist— well, that isn’t really something out of the ordinary seeing as Bakugou seems to have a different “scandal” every week. But when the calls don’t stop coming...

Last night was a disaster, it didn’t take a genius to recognize that. Just anyone with a phone and some sort of social media, or a tv that had access to the news. Which was basically everyone nowadays. Bakugou liked to think that he had gone through worse, like when they caught him speaking poorly about Deku— although the boy had assured them that Bakugou meant no harm, and Y/N probably wouldn’t do the same.

Yeah, this was a problem. 

Bakugou had a feeling that if he hadn’t been the person who hired him, his publicist would’ve cursed him out by now. Regardless, the man in question had remained… kind of calm. He was clearly on the verge of some sort of breakdown, staring Bakugou down like a hawk as he sat across from him— hands pressed together as they rested against his chin. The man had arrived shortly after leaving Bakugou about a dozen voicemails.

“How did you manage to piss off one of the most influential women in Pro Hero society?”

Despite being a newer Hero, Y/N had worked alongside several of the Top Pro Heroes already, probably because of her connections with Pro Hero Hawks and her own Charisma, making her one of the most likable of the next generation. That and the fact that she was regarded as a potential Number 1 Hero given the speed she was rising through the ranks. 

Although Bakugou was sure this had damaged her credibility in some sort of way, he had no doubt she’d come back from this, even if he didn’t. After all, he wasn’t necessarily known for his award winning personality. 

In response to his publicist’s question, Bakugou finds himself crossing his arms, shrugging before he replies, “beats me.”

Inhaling deeply, his publicist brings a hand to his temple, rubbing it rather harshly in an attempt to end the major headache that was coming on. “You have no idea? None at all—” One of the other PR assistants is standing beside them once more, the guy had been leaving and coming back for a while actually. This time he seems rather anxious though, “and what the hell do you want?”

“Well— well, sir. You see, we’ve been getting a call from—”

His publicist, Haru Ishida, as Bakugou had come to know him, appears to have a vein popping out of his head as he replies, “I don’t care which major news platform wants to hear what we have to say, tell them the same thing—”

“It’s Ms. L/N’s publicist!” The man cries out, hand pressed against the receiver of the phone to keep said woman from hearing their interaction, face flushed red in embarrassment as he stands straighter and adds, “sir.”

Haru’ jaw drops open as he immediately shoots up from his seat, snatching the phone from the assistants hand and bringing it to his ear before swiftly saying, “Haru Ishida, how can I help you?”

Bakugou gives the man a look, “put it on speaker.” He hisses out.

The man does as he’s told and a woman’s voice fills the room, “I think it’s more of how I can help you, Mr. Ishida.” A pause, “I’d like to set up a meeting between our clients. We can discuss more in person.”

“Hell no.” Bakugou says instantly, seeing as his little reunion with his former classmate yesterday had gone very poorly, Bakugou couldn’t really see a world in which another meeting with Y/N benefitted him in any way. Despite this, his words cause Haru to glare at him, opening his mouth to respond only for Y/N to beat him to it.

“Bakugou.” She muses, “both you and Y/N are experiencing blowback from this.” Comes her words, the sound of typing on the other end of the call as she continues, “but you need us more than we need you. I know Y/N will come back from this, with or without you. But can you say the same about your career?” There’s almost a subtle threat if you read between the lines and it leaves Bakugou cursing under his breath.

If Bakugou was right, this was Lorelai Flores, a renowned publicist though she was rather new to the game. As someone who aspired to be the best, Bakugou initially sought her out. She’d rejected his attempts at hiring her of course, which is why he’d ended up with the second best he could secure. Haru, who was currently inhaling deeply as he replied, “that can be arranged.”

“No it cannot—” Haru ignores Bakugou’s attempt at protesting, simply shooting him a glare before returning his attention to the call.

“Fantastic!” The woman exclaims, “perhaps it can be just you and I, Haru. Clearly our clients aren’t inclined to be anywhere near each other. Of course, if all goes well then I’m sure they’ll be seeing each other plenty.” The sound of a pen scribbling against a paper followed by, “pick me up at 7, you have my address.”

The call ends, and Bakugou’s brow is raised as he looks back to his publicist, who clears his throat before saying, “we’ll come to a consensus sir.”

Meanwhile, the PR assistant from before looks to Haru, “fraternizing with the enemy?”

“I can fire you.” Haru hisses in response, eyes narrowing at the boy before looking back to Bakugou as he straightens himself and collects the paper’s before him, “if you’ll excuse me, I need to prepare for my meeting with Ms. Flores.” He moves to leave, hovering by the door as he says, “by the way, I believe Pro Hero Red Riot is heading this way at the moment.” 

Bringing his hands to his face, Bakugou groans, if he had to guess— Kirishima was going to lecture him, again. He finds himself coming to a stand making his way around the couch, he doesn’t bother to meet Kirishima the door since he’s already making his way inside. At the same time, Bakugou is left to watch as the rest of his PR team is exiting his apartment one by one, taking their equipment with them wordlessly. 

And so, in comes Kirishima, a bright smile on his face as he calls out, “hey Bakubro!” Arms spread wide as he greets his friend, coming to wrap his arms around him. Although Bakugou doesn’t return the hug, he allows the physical contact.

“Hey shitty hair.” Comes his response, mumbled out as he is finally released from Kirishima’s grip. “What do you want?”

With a shrug, Kirishima, steps further inside Bakugou’s apartment, “I figured you might wanna talk—”

“Don’t wanna talk.” Bakugou interrupts, narrowing his eyes at Kirishima. 

Nodding slowly, Kirishima offers him a tight lipped smile, a short silence encompassing them before he says, “but she said some intense stuff so I though—”

“No.” 

“I can talk to her?

“Absolutely not.”

With that, Bakugou found himself wondering how this could possibly get worse at this point, of course, his question would soon be answered seeing as things could definitely get worse.

[incorrigible-groupie]

Wow, this analysis of the last episode of Helluva Boss went way further that I wanted…

« Blitzo is in love with Stolas !!! »

What.

Hell no.

No no no no.

Did we watch the same show ?

Even since the pilot we know the « relationship » between them is an arrangement more than a love story. I mean, Blitzo doesn’t swoon about Stolas, doesn’t think about Stolas and only talks about Stolas when he remembers he needs the book, he freaking spent some time with him only because he was paid (you know… when he went to Loo Loo Land ?). He shows more compassion towards Moxxie (while treating him like sh*t) than towards Stolas, for Satan’s sake he went to the Harvest Moon Festival only because Millie’s family was there.

Did you see Blitzo’s face when Striker aimed at Stolas ? And then the F*CKING TERROR ON HIS FACE WHEN STRIKER AIMED AT MOXXIE ??? Blitzo was ready to tear an arm appart with his own teeth. But for Stolas ? Meh.

So no, Blitzo isn’t in love with Stolas.

And episode 6 proved that.

DISCLAIMER : The following post is nothing against Stolitz shippers obviously, especially because both characters are great and badass but I really think their feelings aren't synchronized and therefore their relationship isn't completely healthy. They could have a nice one... but not yet. And most importantly, the hallucination scene isn’t about Stolas. Let me explain why I believe that.

« Did you see the golden feathers that put Blitzo back to himself ? »

Oh you mean the golden feathers that turned into chains and that Stolas took to bring Blitzo to his feet ?

Yeah, I saw them.

Of course I saw them.

This is exactly what I expected how Blitzo sees his « relationship » with Stolas, this is exactly the thing that proves that I was right all along.

Blitzo doesn’t love Stolas, he is only with him because he has to.

And with what happened before the stair scene, I know now why.

Blitzo feels like trash, still feels like trash, maybe because of his older relationships, probably because he is from the lowest of the low (working in a circus, then a little bit higher when dating a pop star…).

Did we watch the same show ?

The show that talks a lot about inequality between castes, the show that talks a lot about how difficult it was for Blitzo to make his own company, made from scratch ???

Striker, IN THE PREVIOUS EPISODE, made an entire statement about how Blitzo is underestimated and Blitzo felt it. He was very close to accept to go with him… but he needed to protect his « easiest lanky ticket to Earth ».

Stolas is just a tool for Blitzo to get what he wants. At first, I thought it was because he is searching for something in Earth (and uses the missions as a distraction). But now, I think it’s about something more important : power. Stolas’ feathers have nothing to do with his « transformation », it just shows that Blitzo wears a mask, a costume, a cleaner suit to pretend he isn’t like trash, that he wasn’t trash, that he will not go back to trash.

Whatever it takes.

« Yeah but the figures that are fanning Stolas in such a caring way… »

You mean more like slaves ?

Again, castes, stairs, chains, fanning ? You see a metaphor of love, I see a metaphor of slavery. That’s really disturbing. This is a representation of how Blitzo feels towards Stolas and gosh I’m so worried about him, and them. This is about power.

« But he is climbing towards him ! He wants him ! »

No. He doesn’t want to go to Stolas. He wants to climb those stairs. He wants to go higher. He wants to stay away from the trash. This is about power.

« But the chains… »

I hate those chains.

This is about power.

This is about power.

THIS IS ABOUT POWER.

« No. I think this is about fear. I think he fears to be rejected, so he bound himself to someone, but he also fears of commitment… »

…

Fears of commitment ?

Blitzo ?

What the hell ?

Are we talking about the boss who is not afraid to show (not say, but SHOW) how deeply he cares about his employees ? Are we talking about the demon who adopted Loona and says to everyone that he loves his daughter ? Are we talking about the Blitzo who shares his passions everywhere even on Instagram ? You think someone who is afraid to be rejected would be afraid to commit ? He knows how to express his feelings, he even lies to make the ones he loves happy (yes, I’m talking about Moxxie’s taste in music, duh).

And he does talk about his relationship with Stolas, but do you remember how he calls it ? A transaction.

The book in exchange of passionate fornication.

Nothing more, nothing less.

When people says that Stolas is his boyfriend, Blitzo denies it because he doesn’t want to be seen as just a lover, just a partner, he doesn’t want to have an image of a demon who had success because he is lucky an higher being felt in love with him.

No.

He planned that.

He organized that. He slept with Stolas to stole the book, he still sleeps with Stolas FOR the book.

That demon has ambition that is not related to love.

« Have you even listened to what Blitzo’s subconscience said ? »

… Actually no, not really.

I’m sorry.

English isn’t my native language so it was harder than usual to understand ‘Moxxie’ gibberish (also, I was tripping balls listening to Brandon Rogers playing everyone voices).

I started this all post while not considering what was said, I only listened to my guts which twisted while watching Blitzo being chained because of Stolas.

I’m sorry. I may be wrong…

… But I never believed Blitzo loved Stolas and I won’t start now.

So how can I explain how what is showed and what is saying are related ?

Maybe because Blitzo is scared to be put on a pedestal in his friends minds whereas what he is doing with Stolas isn’t completely right. But he must do it for a reason. Like I said, that demon has ambition.

This is about power.

I think Blitzo has a goal in mind (which he wasn’t able to obtain alone, like Robot Beetlejuice said), a goal he will gain by sacrificing the respect his friends have for him.

You know… whatever it takes.

I think he knows he will disappoint them so he wants to enjoy his remaining time with them while not getting too close to them so the fall won’t be that hard.

« So you agree ? Blitzo is in love with Stolas but can’t make it real. »

Still no.

For all the reason I said before, Blitzo doesn’t seem attached to Stolas. It’s not that he hates him but he doesn’t really care that much.

« Or he pretends he doesn’t care, after all Moxxie said… »

Yes.

Moxxie.

Wait a second.

It started with Moxxie. 

This entire scene isn’t about Stolas and Blitzo relationship, it’s about Blitzo and Moxxie.

« I’m torturing you in your own hallucination. »

(Yep, I have access to the dialogues, you can’t stop me now.)

You are right, it shows Blitzo’s fear : his fear not be a good friend to Moxxie. How could he ? His past relationships were garbage, even recently he hired someone how wasn’t trustworthy, and he’s currently having an affair with someone he doesn’t really like.

I said earlier that the golden feathers put Blitzo into a clean costume, a disguise no one is supposed to see through.

Except that Moxxie does.

Moxxie knew all along that Blitzo is only pretending, Moxxie is more hurt when Blitzo isn’t honest with him than when Blitzo says awful comments to him. 

Moxxie sees Blitzo with the broken heart on Blitzo’s forehead, exactly like how Blitzo sees himself.

Do they talk to each other while tripping ? Do they listen to each other ? Do they only hear what they want to hear ?

Because their thoughts are way too synchronized (Moxxie talking about how Blitzo pushes everyone away, Blitzo being at the top of some stairs…).

Maybe they do talk to each other and then have their own perception of this conversation in their minds :

Blitzo feeling it like accusations that burn his skin like golden feathers who shut him up and chain him and blind him so he will have to abandon everything he is and loves to obtain his goal, Moxxie believing it like their relationship can go higher and evolve and be fine and equal finally.

OH, AND THERE’S SOMETHING MORE : I know there is a theory about Moxxie being a fallen royalty and I think this episode showed that if it’s true, Blitzo knows, with how in his hallucination Moxxie eloquently talked and then transformed into a princess while climbing the stairs (without needing Stolas’ feathers).

Maybe that’s also why Blitzo doesn’t think he is worthy to be friend with Moxxie. And why he is angry at him : because he is jealous, Moxxie gave up everything Blitzo wanted for unknown reason (but probably for Millie, why annoys Blitzo even more not to mention that while Moxxie gave up power for an healthy relationship, Blitzo is craving for power by using an unhealthy one).

« Okay, let’s say that the hallucinations were about Moxxie and Blitzo. But… But THE KISS ! »

Oh yeah the kiss, let’s talk about that !

When Stolas goes to kiss Blitzo, our favorite demon pulls the king’s hair so it won’t happen and… Gosh he doesn’t want to be kissed by Stolas, does he ? I’m sorry but, no, this doesn’t feel right. I may not be an expert about romance but… what ?

This is about power.

Blitzo doesn’t hate having sex with Stolas, I mean, he thinks the role-plays are weird but he goes with it, and I think that’s because during the role-play he is always the one who dominates the other.

Just like with the kiss. The kiss happened only because Blitzo made it so.

It makes sense, those role-plays : Blitzo wants to forget he isn’t the one with power (which is why he made that sad face when he sees Stolas on his throne or when Stolas saves them because he is so strong and Blitzo maybe feel sad that he isn’t strong enough to protect his group, that he still needs the help of someone he knows will ask for compensation after ?), and Stolas wants to forget he is the one with power (and forget that his favorite imp probably doesn’t love him back so he lets him do whatever he wants to do to him and maybe he will fell in love ?).

Anyway.

I feel… No, I’m sure this all dream sequence is more about the power people have on Blitzo.

And power shouldn’t have something to do with love.

Maybe one day Stolas and Blitzo will put aside their differences, the huge gap between them, maybe they will realize that their ranks have a big impact on their relationship and THEN have a real, romantic, healthy one.

But for now seeing Stolas and Blitzo together is heartbreaking for me because one of them feels forced while the other is completely in love.

Clones shipping thing ? Dude I had that same problem at the beginning of the month

Someone commented on one of my post on Twitter about how they wanted to dm me something urgent and it’s the “did you know so-so is a clone shipper ?” I said yes (I only followed their main page, not their nsfw, I’m not a fan of clone shipping but I can still enjoy the art style) and they asked me to unfollow, under the pressure I said I’d do it… but mutuals reassured me that I could follow who I wanted soo… I followed the artist back again

“I think Twitter glitched because it shows that you’re still following them”

That is hella scary, and I didn’t know what do do except block them (advise by mutuals) and now guess who got a call out post 😅

On thé opposite side of the spectrum, I had a pro shipper being pissed at me because I wasn’t okay with letting them ship 2 of my clone ocs even when there’s a specific reason in the caption

Uggh, those people need better hobbies than bullying real life people over fictional ships that don't harm anyone and that they can simply just ignore. It's especially irritating when they go after people like yourself, who don't even create/share material from certain ships, but don't condemn the Evil And Morally Bankrupt Sinners™

Sorry you have to deal with that. But yeah, the best thing to do, as usual, is not to feed the trolls and just block them. Because even if they decide you're okay right now, the second you step out of their specific and narrow zone of purity, they'll turn on you again.

It's important to periodically take out the trash. :)

Same goes for anyone, including the shipper you mentioned, who tries to make your online experience anything other than what you want it to be. I mean, in fandom, we've always done what we want with canon characters, but when you have the creator of an OC right here in the fandom with you, it seems like common decency to check in with them about using their characters, and then abide by their wishes. If they don't like it, they can go make their own characters. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anyway, I hope the pep talk helped in some small way, haha. The world is full of assholes, but if you pick and choose who you want to associate with online, it can be a really fun, positive experience. :) <3

[its-tie-kir-ra]

The point is that it's not even true that Sessrin is that popular in Japan (shippers make ppl believe it's true because they're a vocal minority) but Shitrise definitely thought it was, or they simply understimated the matter meaning they thought the fandom would be more neutral on the pedo ship topic and just accept it despite not actively supporting it. They totally didn't foresee the backlash they had and as a matter of facts, the series is highly unpopular because 1) is objectively badly written and 2) the existence of a pedo relationship involving two characters who originally were never written that way from RT. It doesn't trend if not when Inukagmor have an important moment (more popular than One Piece where?) nor it sells because most ppl are not watching it legally and are definitely not purchasing the blu-ray boxes. Now Shitrise is sold to Bandai, so obviously Yashahime being so unpopular didn't solve their financial issues. Sessriners are simply not enough to save the show with their money, they're not the Sasusaku or Naruhina (that I highly despise, but they're hella popular) of the Inuyasha fandom, that's a fact 🤷‍♀️

I don't believe that anon was really being "SessRin is popular in Japan and that's the reason why it's canon" I think it was more "Sessrin shippers keep implying that Japanese producers don't care about western opinions and that's why it became canon".

I mean, yeah, you're right. Most of the reason people stopped watching is because of bad writing. The writing was already going downhill by the time episode 15 came out, like when I published my first SessRin video I literally said "it's not good, it's not bad, it's not terrible, it's not great, it's bland" (which I still firmly stand behind, it's never been a show I get enraged watching, it's just boring, the list of shows/books/movies that do that for me is very short) so SessRin probably was the breaking point for a lot of people.

Yashahime was literally designed to make money. It's a cash grab, plain and simple. I've already talked before on this blog about how most shows need casual fans to keep them going, just as much if not more than it needs the really intense, passionate ones. Like yes, the passionate ones are going to go to the conventions and buy the merch and hype it up, but the casual ones are going to be the ones who bump up the numbers to where you actually want them. If you stop a show 10 years ago, and go to a con, and sit on a panel about it and look out and see 2500 people, congrats, you have 2500 fans. That's not enough to keep a show going.

There aren't too many shows out there that have so many passionate and intense fans that they would keep the numbers up where they should be. Inuyasha is not one of them. Naruto is probably one of them. Although I doubt it's just shipping fans watching Boruto. It's probably mostly kids, who will grow up to complain about bad the show about Boruto's Father's Grandson is.

thanks for the ask

The bar for writing quality has always been low for Naruto fans because Naruto is not actually a good series if I had to pick between watching Naruto again vs watching Yashahime again and it was the same time span I would pick Yashahime because at least Yashahime has some saving graces like Moroha so like when I hear Naruto fans complaining about Boruto's bad writing I can't help but be like "WHAT QUALITY WERE YOU EXPECTING WHEN THE ORIGINAL IS ALREADY A TRASH FIRE?" every time I see it on one of these "best anime of all time" lists I lose a year of my life it's one of the few series I would absolutely vanquish off this earth and to see it get compared to well-written series like Sailor Moon and FMAB actually enrages me

Bring it, Naruto fans. Scream at me all you like. I choose violence.

[nct-lian]

what if jaeli dated?

fuck yeah JAEHYUN GOT THE GOODS !!!!!!!!!

god where do i even start with these two?

jaehyun finally confessed to her when they were both involved in a rather ... spicy moment after watching a movie together

like the room was quiet and the only people there were the two of them and they don’t even know what happened next

they kinda started leaning in and that’s when jaehyun just said:

“lian, i’m in love with you.”

AND EEEEEEEEEEE SHE KISSED HIM

SHE KISSED HIM REAL GOOD 😤😤

and NO he did NOT cry that same exact night when he went back up to his room

*whispers* he did, though

they didn’t have seggs that night unfortunately but hey only time will tell

they made out a lil but though ;)

now that they made it official, the members are so happy

most of them at least ..

the two of them really wanted to make it public so that they’re able to share their relationship with czennies

but because jaehyun has some crazy fans, and lian ALSO has some crazy fans, everyone thought they should wait for a little while

they ended up going public two months after their relationship became official and majority of the fandom was happy for them!

of course there were still shippers who seriously so disappointed, and just delulus but we won’t get into that

jaehyun is even more protective of her now that she’s actually his girlfriend

one member gets too touchy and BAM knocked out yk

jaehyun’s abs:

lian: free real estate !!

yes yes, jaehyun moved onto the fifth floor so he and lian could spend more time together

and lian’s bed is so small

so when they sleep, lian is like literally on top of him

but he’s not complaining

they take the cutest couple pictures

jaehyun actually posts on his instagram now, and it’s just lian

nobody:

jaehyun’s instagram: lian eating, lian sleeping, lian’s hair, jaehyun + lian holding hands, random picture of sky, lian eating again, lian walking, jaehyun + lian’s shadows on the ground, jaehyun’s phone case, kkuma + lian cuddling

will literally not stop talking about each other when apart

like jaehyun is no where to be seen and lian will just, out of the blue, call for his name and then forget he’s at a whole other schedule

but out of INSTINCT

jaehyun’s bestest boyfriend in the whole wide world senses were tingling

and he shows up like five minutes later

how?

when?

who?

AND ALSO

everything is about lian now

jaehyun: aw lian would like this

jaehyun: i hate it here i miss lianna

jaehyun: wtf where’s lian, though

jaehyun: LIAN COME HERE AND GIVE ME A KISS

one puppy dog face and a smol little “jaehyunie~”

the world stops ...... carry on

oh taeyong needed help taking out the trash? jaehyun’s with lian, sorry

haechan was like literally starving to death? jaehyun’s too busy cooking for lian, sorry

jaehyun had to go shoot for his drama? no lian is more important, sorry

jaehyun is so terrified of losing her :(

like sometimes he thinks that this is all one big dream that he’ll wake up from and everything will be back to normal, just the way he hates it

he puts so much effort into making sure she knows just how much he loves her

because he’s had these built up feelings inside of him for so long now and it feels so good to let them out and express them the way he’s wanted to but couldn’t

in conclusion:

jaehyun loves lian to death, and lian loves him back.

[gilly-bj]

Sorry not to be rude ( I prolly worded this better in my head lol ) but when people say "isayama doesn't owe us anything" fr writing a bad ending or whatever, I laugh because he does??? ?? We are the audience , aot is source of income where do you think the money comes from? A fucking tree? It's a give & take relationship. As viewers we have the very right to criticize and ask for a better ending but in 139's case that's not even good enough, we need proper explanation for so many plot holes hello?? Even Isa himself believes that he needs to make the majority happy which is precisely why he went online searching for reviewed and comments from ppl. That's why it's a fan service ending bc the vast majority are either Ems who thrash ehs or ship em by default + ema Stans. And yes he did admit to making changes due to his editors in the past and if that ain't evident enough for the possibility that the ending in fact was charged last minute. Yes isayama can make mistake he is a human and he even said he regrets the ending which clearly tells us that it's the not the ending he wanted. Idk ppl be like "fans think as if they can make better ending" but yes it's true they can actually🤨 , if Isa himself isn't happy with it that means someone else CAN in fact make a better ending because surprise surprise Isa isn't the ONLY ONE with an understanding to his story and decent reading comprehension. It's okay to admit the ending was bad just because the entire series until that point has been a masterpiece, criticism isn't disrespectful it's having common sense to not blindly love what your favs puts out. Em Shipers are now screaming "y'all don't understand the interview" the fuck? How long are they gonna gaslight EHS even after continually getting what they want when are they gonna stop acting like it's not just EHs who didn't like the ending. Eh, Eren being the father made sense for the plotline, unbiased people can have no trouble admitting that. Em was picked up from the trash as a wallmart version of Romeo & Juliet ( even then they lacked "true love" concept by 100% ) at the cost of mikasa's character development. I remember defending 138 and I quote myself saying "isayama gave Mikasa the development of a lifetime" but now I can't even say that anymore because caniconally there is no evidence that supports that anymore. And I'm open to Mikasa critcisism bc i actually cared about her as an individual character. The way the news of Eren X Mikasa love comedy upseted me is because even as a joke we are gonna be stuck in that "Mikasa showed Erne how to love 😍😍💔" agenda with that collection 🤢🤢. Whatever the fuck I do not care anymore ( but I really do ) I just hope what we get for rivamika adds to the theory of Mikasa moving on and does not mess up our healing pace as fandom, I rest my case. 🕳️🏃‍♀️

Hi my dear @ackermanshoe and thank you for this looong ask! 

Okay joking apart, I agree with you. “Isayama doesn’t owe us anything” doesn’t make sense; when you post something online, it isn’t yours anymore. AOT is famous worldwide, he hasn’t written it just to keep it in a drawer of his desk. He’s giving us something, which is the time and “effort” he puts in creating the story, and we are giving him something else, popularity and money, that obviously doesn’t make happiness but we must accept that it is important. I don’t think he’s the type of person that just cares about the money; if he was, he would have stopped with season 3 but despite the fact that he was tired he decided to give aot a conclusion with the last arc that unfortunately ended the way we know. So I think that something happened; for me, it’s both his readers’ and editor’s fault. He probably saw many of them disliking the Marley Arc and when the editor talked with him about Erem*ka and the other fanservice shits we got in 139, he just said “ok fine” since he was tired of everyone. Rereading 139, the Erem*ka scenes really look like some kind of sarcastic criticisms towards their relationship. It looks like he made fun of it since everything is really absurd and stupid. And even if he didn’t owe us anything, we would have had the right to express our disappointment; when you work with audience you have to be ready to accept compliments and criticisms. Those excuses to me sounds like the words of an e* that doesn’t accept others opinion about their “canon” ship ☠🤡 They don’t understand that it’s not about shipping, everyone who just looked deeper into the story and wanted and expected the best for the last chapter didn’t like it, even non shippers. Some say it’s fine because everyone is alive but i don’t understand how can you say they are alive when their characters were fucking ruined, they are physically alive but those are not the characters we knew, especially Eren. Even non shippers said that Erehisu made more sense than E*, their ship is completely baseless; we have not misinterpreted the story for 11 years it was just obvious that Eren didn’t love Mikasa; it was confirmed various times that he saw her as a mum and not as a lover and where’s this extreme care he felt for Historia. When did he show that care for Mikasa ☠🤡??? He was ready to kill all his friends, including her. And the “Mikasa taught Eren how to love” is so disgusting that i can’t believe someone actually has the audacity to say that. What love? Does it look like love to you? When you love someone you want the their happiness and Eren said that he didn’t want Mikasa to be happy. He treated her like an object and that’s not romantic, AT ALL. It’s not about shipping it’s just that you have a completely wrong mentality if you think that treating a woman, a man, or basically a breathing human being like that is fine. Mikasa deserves more than a man like Eren, she deserves someone that respects her and loves her. I can’t believe there’s someone in this world that thinks that it’s an healthy relationship. Look, if you are an Erem*ka shipper and you think that their relationship is fine you better leave my blog because, honestly, a person with this wrong mentality doesn’t deserve my respect. Now, I’m sorry for this long post, but I had to vent out my frustration about e*. 

These are just opinions but I don’t regret a single word that is written here.
