#but the author reeled it in

[sidsinning]

Surprising thing about Dandadan is Okarun randomly pulls different girls throughout the manga, but all of their feelings for him are not very deep (you could argue Aira, but I think her feelings were kinda insta-love which is then used as mostly a gag- kinda unsrs to watch)

-Aira is already obsessed with him the next time they meet

-Vamola is obsessed with him after a random kiss (then ends up being explained it was for plot and not real romantic feelings)

-Rin- what foundation, and her whole vampire attraction moment was literally a joke 😭🖐

But Momo's relationship with Jiji then later Unji are taken much more seriously with strong foundations for why they have feelings/might be growing feelings for her, while also feeling realistic and subtle

Like I'm sorry but this was cute and we have never gotten a such a significantly intimate moment like this from Okarun with any of Momo's love rivals 🖐

Zuma got a whole arc with her to himself like??? Insane you can tell when Yukinobu locks in for the love rival plots LOL

In exchange for Momo's outward very obvious bursts of hilarious jealousy we get more complex love rivals for Okarun to battle lmao, least that's how I see it

(By "more complex" I mean in regards to them as love rivals, all the characters are equally complex as just characters)

Okarun got game but Momo got GAME GAME like they sense her baddie wife energy

Momo is a total catch like she's literally MVP for almost all the fights in Dandadan, and the only times she isn't is when she literally isn't present- so I don't blame them 😌💅✨️✨️✨️

And ofc in the end all these people's feelings for our MCs are only there to develop their romance, bc they obviously only want each other

Sidenote ppl who are like "wow a pretty girl has to be paired with a nerdy loser guy again"

Bitch listen

First of all he has his ultra baddie form

Second of all he is devoted to the nth degree to Momo and only Momo, all his thoughts are consumed by her, and everything he does is for her happiness and safety

Like the way he got so fucking mad a dude was degrading her right in front of him??? The way Okarun was used to being pushed around and bullied for most of his school life but he threw hands with a rando immediately with no hesitation for her sake??? She wasn't even in the room to hear it??? A MAN

No Okarun slander shall be tolerated here ✋️

Held my first published book and cried today (both in this reel and way more after we cut). I've been a writer all my life and was overwhelmed to finally see my name on the cover of a book. It's been a lot of hard work but also really fun and the support from friends family and fans has been incredible. So thanks for hanging out and having a laugh and a cry with me.

You can pre-order my (very funny I promise!) book right here.

I am extremely late to this particular party but I just read TwoFish and am metaphorically lying on the ground shaken to my core, this is one of the best things I've read this year or decade or maybe ever, this is book omens at its finest which makes sense bc it's like 20 years old apparently??? sending love out to this author wherever they are

People online will describe a piece of media that focuses on dark themes and critiques certain glorifying mindsets like “unfortunately this work delves into xyz” like yes Jessie that is a feature not a bug maybe acquire some reading comprehension

(twsb)....wait hold on lowkey that last comparison actually makes sense i was kinda cooking...

haruhi & yeseo: both extremely aro spec + dense when it comes to romance/ppl having a crush on them... both book smart + studying/studied in the law field... both have brown hair... (both r cute/attractive but unaware of this fact)

"in a tamaki body" aka jesse venetiaan: well... i cant say their personalities r similar but hold awn... both rich + both illegitimate sons.... looks check out(blonde tall pretty)... (**reputation of being) a frivolous playboy... I JUST BLURTED THIS COMPARISON OUT ON THE FLY TO GET MY (nonsensical) POINT ACROSS BUT WHY WAS I COOKING LMFAOO. do u see what im saying...(no)

[dearest-tobio]

which of the hq boys wld do this 🤭

[aromanticannibal]

ppl really b acting as if there's only one specific ship that has weird shippers that will complain about ppl not shipping their otp. it's literally always the case you either get fucked over for liking a gay ship or for liking a straight ship or for liking a toxic ship or people just start going "oh there's nothing wrong with the ship but the shippers💀" and you don't fucking know what they're talking about. like can we all just chill. the weird shippers r everywhere it's called some ppl are assholes sometimes. it's not fandom specific

May have made this for my author instagram because same energy.

I originally had dumbass instead of idiot but then I realised the instagram algorithm wouldn't like it 😑

[astranauticus]

Candles Astarion/bard!Reader

Starts in Act 1 and continues onwards, just kind of covers things happening outside of what's addressed in the game. Reader has trauma because the whole damn party does, and has gotten in her head to try and get Astarion accustomed to genuine kidnness.

Lokismál God of Stories!Loki/Reader

I have a thing for fortune teller characters. Anyways, reader gets scooped up from her perfectly normal 9-to-5 life and shoved into völva training, basically, and becomes the first priestess Loki's had since somewhere around the 1300s. There is predictably some time fuckery going on.

Does it hurt when it rains? Min Yoongi/Reader

The story I teased last year (that I procrastinated on in favour of actually completing another story) which has a soulmate feel about it. Two people dream of each other but don't realize until far, far down the line that they both genuinely exist.

Ad Abyssosque Cayde-6/Reader

A story that was floating in my head ever since I saw the giant portal appearing on the traveler, and Bungie's teasin Cayde's return. Extremely gritty, very much playing fast and loose with trauma, death and resurrection.
