Gold and Silver are good kids and Gold likes to show up unannounced to Lance's house post-game to bother Silver and Silver is like 'ugh great just what I need a loud annoying weirdo' but they are neither loud nor annoying while they hang out they just quietly sit on the floor reading magazines abt pokemon or playing video games and sometimes Gold will shove something in Silver's face like 'WHOA CHECK THIS OUT' and Silver will be like 'can you quiet down. What stupid thing could possibly get you that excited' as if he wouldn't also be equally excited about the very cool article about Sharpedo Gold just found

As An IzuOcha Shipper…

…them not ending up together isn’t the problem.

Horikoshi taking the “leave it up to interpretation” approach and then proceeding to COMPLETELY AVOID ADDRESSING their relationship status is the problem.

Horikoshi failing to tie up that one last loose end for Uraraka’s character arc (not closing off her feelings) is the problem.

Again, I ship IzuOcha. Still do, because I’m stubborn. Would I have liked for them to end up together, even if it was only a somewhat blatant implication that could be handwaved? Obviously. But you know what? Maybe I would be upset if the story went out of its way to explicitly de-confirm any chance of Midoriya and Uraraka being a romantic pairing, but I’d at least respect it and understand it a lot more if the story let Midoriya and Uraraka actually talk about this, or at the very least SHOWED US them talking about this. I’d understand if Uraraka completed her character arc by having a heart to heart with Midoriya and telling him that her feelings have changed, her priorities have changed, and Midoriya understands and they remain good friends. Let’s be real, romance isn’t Horikoshi’s strong suit, despite his many attempts to leave romantic implications throughout the series. I’d completely understand if he just had Midoriya and Uraraka talk and they didn’t end up together, because at least then it still provides both of their characters with closure.

But no, that’s too simple. Let’s just “leave it up to interpretation,” because it clearly wasn’t that important, right?

Well, as many people on the internet have already brought up, if it wasn’t so important, why did you spend so much time putting emphasis on it? Why did you have Uraraka, up until the FINAL WAR, have her crush on Midoriya be a crucial part of her character (it wasn’t her only character trait, mind you, but it was still important)? Why did the penultimate chapter have the class come to comfort Uraraka and tell her that they can talk to her… and then come the next chapter, Uraraka apparently hasn’t done anything regarding her supposed crush on Midoriya? For literal YEARS!?

…see, this isn’t even a shipping problem anymore. This is a character problem.

Horikoshi, for whatever reason, chose not to include a romance for the main character and his supposed love interest. And again, that’s fine, not every story needs to be a romance. Two problems with it here though (well, one problem and an observation):

1) Choosing to not at least address the romantic subplot with a “I think we’re better off as friends” encounter, thus actually concluding the subplot and providing a sense of closure, not only leaves the result feeling underwhelming and frustrating, but also actively damages Uraraka’s character arc. We can have her address the problem that caused people like Toga to exist, but heaven forbid she talks about romance with Midoriya.

2) Despite his supposed aversion to romance, Horikoshi still went out of his way to give Gentle and La Brava wedding rings… he’s willing to establish a side romantic pairing without bringing too much attention to it, but he can’t be bothered to do something similar for the arguable MAIN pairing? It’s the “Togata has special clothes so he doesn’t end up buck naked, but Hagakure’s still gotta go commando” debacle again…

I’ma go ahead and wrap this up ‘cause I don’t wanna keep y’all much longer, but like… being optimistic, this ending was… functional. I’ve got my problems with it, obviously, I don’t think it was BAD bad… but it certainly wasn’t good. It works. Barely. And it’s ‘cause of stuff like this.

Midoriya and Uraraka didn’t need to end up together, truly. All Horikoshi had to do was put the smallest amount of effort and give us something of substance, something with closure. Instead, we got what we got.

I get that he was exhausted and wanted the manga to be over… but that excuse only holds up for so long.

i feel like there is so much to be said about drizzt do’urden’s religious views and how he’s a stand-in for culturally christian atheists. he grew up in a corrupt religious society and has religious trauma, so as a result he views all religion as bad. at first it seems like he’s going to have a “pagan finds jesus” story but he eventually rejects mielikki too, and imo, it always felt out of character that he followed her in the first place so i wasn’t surprised when he changed his mind. he was looking for a name to label his preexisting system of ideals, which feels very much like christians who claim “all that matters is that you live by the bible and live in a godly manner”. many religions are about teachings and traditions as much as they are about “just being a good person and following god’s vibes” (which i feel like is INCREDIBLY standard in american protestantism)

i think a lot of it comes down to the fact that the forgotten realms (and a lot of fantasy tbh) treats the gods as just Very Powerful People instead of the forces of nature personified (and again this is to be expected from a christian culture, where jesus was Just A Guy)

[infizero]

every time i so much as think about that scene where light looks at porn magazines while scowling i go into hysterics its genuinely the funniest thing i've ever seen

[sansgout]

vince has a surprisingly . . . nurturing side to him, in the right circumstances

i'm not saying he's the babying type he's not going to coddle you or anything like that, but

if he cares about you? he will take care of you

simple things, really; he's like that mom friend who carries around an entire supply of essentials in her purse, yknow?

he'll probably sigh dramatically as he goes out of his way to help you, but ヽ(ヅ)ノ it means something that he goes out of his way at all

[olexxx]

even though i havent been able to see the new season yet ive seen clips of reagan hugging brett

like

like thats just so sweet to me 😭 like that just shows how theyve grown as friends

oop ill try not to spoil you too much, might put spoilery stuff in tags so you can ignore it- but yeah, i adore character developments in part 2, Reagan growing more comfortable to phisical touch with her gang and Brett especially has me feeling on cloud 9, Brett knew about her problems, listened and was never pushy with her, only genuine respect and support and that (as well as the Ron plot) looks very much like a boring cliche on paper, but the show handled it magnificently, the way it didnt feel redundant, cheap or annoying and im super pleased with it

[littledeadling]

I can’t watch the new mandalorian trailer I’m still so burned by the shitshow ending of TBOBF 💀💀💀 long rant in the tags sorry please don’t mind me

Menphina, the Lover

4. How difficult is it to earn your character’s love?

5. Does your character separate love and sex or do they tie them together?

6. How romantic is your character?

Ah, yes, his patron (matron?) deity. ♡

How difficult is it to earn your character’s love? Depending on how you treat him, it is very easy for him to love! For instance, Ki'to immediately fell in (platonic) love with Haurchefant. That man is his best friend and he loves him and his sunshiney disposition dearly. On the flip side, "Fray" was one that he had trouble finding love for. For those who've played through DRK to the fight with "Esteem", you can understand why this made me tear up afterwards, because he found love and understanding for him at the end. It didn't excuse the actions caused, but he had acceptance for him in knowing what had been lurking in the shadows beneath. (Listen, I have a lot of feelings after the lvl 50 quest)

Does your character separate love and sex or do they tie them together? He can separate the two, but does count sex as an act of love when it's with a man he loves dearly. (*cough*Aymeric*cough*) Love is a very sacred thing to him, it's something he expresses often because of this, and he knows that it comes in many forms; friendships, family, lovers, all with different ways to love each other. He loves his siblings by checking in with them via letters and sending them gifts from his travels; he loves his friends by giving them big hugs (with their consent) and praising them by telling them how proud he is of their accomplishments; and he intends to love his lover in the most tender and romantic of ways, he just has to work up the courage to actually ask him...

How romantic is your character? V E R Y Like, if you looked up the textbook definition of a hopeless romantic you would see this goober's face next to it. He'd be the sappiest lover and relish in every sigh he gets or every "Dear, you've been reading those romance novels again, haven't you?". But, he just wants to make his man happy. Literally all things in life would be perfectly aligned, he could die happy, if he saw that he truly made the love of his life happy.

Thank you so much for sending this in, friend! I especially love talking about Ki'to's love for the world around him, so Menphina's questions were a joy to answer. ;v; ♡

Other rule of the Brundlemerc AU: the extent of their Horror Hunger is limited, they are capable of eating what their bug counterparts can, and the preferred food of the bug appears very appetizing to them, but they aren’t compelled to eat things that they oppose eating.

This is to say, Soldier has eaten rotting carrion and Scout hasn’t, and that has more to do with them as people than any difference in their Bug Instincts.
