Why I don’t dislike TogaChako’s ending as much as I dislike DekuBaku’s:
Is the TogaChako ending bury your gays? ABSOLUTELY. And that is a fact worthy of disappointment and frustration. However, I believe TogaChako’s ending makes literary sense and is perfectly in character, especially for Toga.
Toga has always said she has romantic feelings for Ochako AND Izuku. She wants to talk about Izuku with Ochako. Toga wouldn’t be sad or jealous about Ochako being with Izuku. She’d be (and is?) overjoyed at the idea. I firmly believe she’d love nothing more than to be in a polyamorous triad with them, if given the chance.
Toga’s character arc was about learning that she is lovable, and that the better way to show her love is by caring about other people’s happiness, instead of taking from them. She shows this love by pushing Ochako toward happiness.
Ochako’s feelings for Toga aren’t disrespected by the narrative either. She’s spent 8 years unable to move on with her life without Toga, dedicating herself to helping children like Toga. It takes a hallucination (or visitation?) of Toga telling Ochako she loves her and it’s okay for her to move on for her to consider doing so.
Does it suck that the WLW couple can’t be the happy ending? Yes. But I still find their ending beautiful, in a way, and I think it is completely within character and the theme of their relationship.
But dkbk.
DekuBaku’s ending isn’t just heartbreaking; it doesn’t make sense for the characters and themes of the show.
Izuku’s dream was to be a Pro Hero, like All Might. His underdog passion for that dream is what made many of us fall in love with his character from the start.
Throughout the story, the narrative emphasizes that Izuku’s strength is Katsuki’s weakness, and visa versa. At the turning point in Izuku and Katsuki’s relationship, All Might (DekuBaku’s ultimate mentor) tells them that by combining their strengths, they could be the best heroes together.
I’ve felt this was a main theme of the show: Izuku and Katsuki both represent the best and worst qualities of a hero, and they must learn to complete each other.
Can people grow up and change their dreams? Of course. But it’s not satisfying in a fantastical story like this one, especially when all that change happens during a time skip. Are we supposed to be proud of Izuku for no-longer dreaming of fighting beside Katsuki above all else? How can I, when Katsuki (who has earned his character development like no other) is losing his dream in the process?

I think the best part about Jinchul in SLr is the fact that they kept dropping small details here and there about just how extremely serious he is about protecting earth, but you dont get the full picture until you get to meeting him that you are just like "oh wow hes gone off the rails OKAY!"
Although I think the part that drove home for me that he was just, not thinking sanely would have to be when he proposed the choker bombs on Villains to be wrapped around their neck. Or you know, when he just gave full on permition to Taeshik and other people to go ahead and kill villains and pay them for that. I mean, its obvious when you hear it from me, right now, that Jinchul was obviously crossing the line way before we got told directly that 'yup hes not well mentally.' but considering most action manhwas and, just the general vibe about action fantasy has about stripping criminals from human rights and simply letting them die a gruesome death (heck even SL had bunch of those moments) I was like "oh yeah Jinchul is just being hyped as this hero of justice following along Jinwoo's steps to guide people"
BUT NO, instead Daul really said "This man is suffering a past trauma that he constantly relives in his dreams, he fears everyday that the war hes seen will come back again, porbably even worse, and for that he wants the world to be prepared. Hes on constant alert, hes choosing to take extreme measures for the sake of humanity, the lonelyness he has held for so long has not made him stronger by any means but instead so much more insecure becuase now the only person he has in his life is basically a god, unable to protect earth anymore as he has always done. And as the only one who knows the past he is consumed by the pressure of doing everything he can in order to not let the earth descend into chaos. He cannot even choose to have the past erased becuase those memories just refuse to leave him, and even if he did have the choice, he would NEVER want to erase them, no matter how much its poisoning his mind, no matter how much he suffers. Becuase he's just a man."
And thats just without the shipping goggles off, with them on it just hurts , it just hurts. To Jinchul, Jinwoo is a friend, a family, a hunter, a hero, a god-- his only one-, a monarch, a human, a survivor and the entire reason the world still persists. (While also not mentioning hes the sole reason of Jinchul's trauma since the more he spends with Jinchul the more hes afected by his aura. same to what happened with Ilhwan.) Brother hes MORE than codependent on that man than anyone of us will ever be.
#oh shes being portrayed as this loyal#wife and she has no trauma whatsoever because thats how a good wife is. no hysteria no problems happy marriage!.#also want to make it clear that jinchul's whole behavior towards treating people with the utmost repsect was becuase of Jinwoo.#Haseul points that out. and mind you. Jinchul is well in his 50s to 60s while Haseul is in her teens#yet hes treating HER with so much respect that Haseul is shocked by how casual others (Suho) are with her.#brother when the whole story finishes i will break.#solo leveling freakarok#solo leveling ragnarok#solo leveling ragnarok spoilers#woo jin chul#sung jinwoo#only i level up#I wish I could also talk about haeins dependency of Jinwoo as well but I am not sure whenever its#or shes actually having her own inner problems as well. like at first they hit me with the joke of Suho feeling like a dinosaur inside her#womb#and then almost 200 chapter later they tell me Jinwoo needed to use witchcraft in order or Haein to not DIE during the pregnancy#and had to also remain contantly vigilant LIKE BRUH#if women get depressed post partum i do not want to imagine just how worse shes having it.#so yeah#and also. this aint Jinwoo's own fault. at least for Jinchul who took in the risk willingly. and haein... well if the love confession and#marriage is anything to go by im sure she did as well...#by the way. jinchul and haein serving as different example of codependece on Jinwoo. lovely cheffs kiss give me more waiter.

im watching a retrospective about Majora's Masks dungeon progression and realizing a little more every time he says "this game took a lot of very brave steps out to not be ocarina of time" that my disappointment with totk isn't out of place. I've been told "it's breath of the wild 2, why did you expect it to be different?" but like.. it's it's own game. why is it the exact same but with an arguably worse iteration of the story?

we still haven't seen armand drink on screen, right? (aside from that one reciprocal moment with lestat) there was the cheers with louis but then it cut away and his glass still looked full afterwards. what could they be hiding? i mean surely he does need blood and they told us he hunts for it but?
something something armand always offering his blood never taking, a metaphor for his relationships but also something more? (honestly we saw louis drink from him soo many times like between that and his bloodline no wonder that mofo is powerful enough to challenge a hoard of vampires)

(mgv) frankly a house md omegaverse would require an entire rewrite rather than just "the episode but with mgv elements" bc i have house and wilson helping each other with their cycles (meaning they're fucking) so their dynamic could go even crazier. they bang, unbonded, as friends, which isn't super crazy uncommon but they also regularly display courtship behaviors that they apparently either ignore or write off as pranks or basic decency -- wilson letting house eat off his plate is a huge one for example

I keep dreaming up Limbus Company sinner gets isekaid into Genshin Impact AUs
I sadly don't have the full set of 12 plotted yet, but I've started designing the ones I'm invested in.
Everyone having locations and then casually dropping that Outis is in the Arataki Gang. Give the old woman a gun again. She deserves it. ❤️
I also think she would get along with Shinobu.
It would be an entire lore dump on their general isekai'd lifestyle, their new social circle, if they share their history, and the possibility of them using specific weapons or visions. (Some characters have notes on skill/burst/idle animations)
Currently I am drawing each character with a basic weapon that is either tied any WAW egos a character has or an item that is related to their backstory.
#Limbus Company#please tell me if i shouldn't main tag lolol#i find it fun to plot so many individual aus-- and it helps me think about different aspects of a character's personality#ive been on the Rodya Appreciation Train™️ for the past week and it's really refreshing to think about her in a new environment#just... character traumas could show in such unique ways.#the limbus cast wouldnt be stuck in the city where corporations rule the people and the poor is seen as fodder.#teyvat would literally be heaven compared to the city#Ishmael casually watching Arlecchino stomp in a guys head yeah its gross but its nothing compared to the pallad whale. or the lake mermaids.#Outis living in the daily hijinks of the Arataki Gang and learning to be a normal human being#outis having to get over her war traumas and learn to actually trust people. she gets a healing arc#i honestly think don might be the only one who would actively talk about her home world#none of the others really have anything... great to say.#Rodion might tell people but it would be moreso a threat. she shows that shes done worse. shes delt with worse.#anyways i almost put sinclair in sumeru becaue i thought it would be funny for the pathetic boy to have his prosthetic studies be used#only for Sinclair to learn that replacing someones entire body is likely. really against the law in sumeru. it would be funny for him.#but in the end sinclair is a little german guy. and the hilarious thought of him performing maracas in Diluc's bar won.

not sure if that was a casual mind whammy or just them being surprisingly cooperative with Albia, but either way,

I regret to admit I do find Agatha's point of focus here pretty funny.

it is unfortunate when i go to prayer and cry my eyes out and the only response i really hear is that i simply have to bear it. like usually i can get my emotions out and once they’re settled i hear a rational solution but it sucks when i don’t get the answer i want. i just have to keep waiting. like normally i hear something that gives me strength but wow apparently i’ve hit a new low
#literally all my problems would be so much easier to deal with if i had friends#and normally i’d be told ‘do this and you’ll probably find friends’#my plan has always been just to wait for someone to find me bc i’m horribly shy and antisocial#even though logically i know that’s a bad way of going about it#my logical rational analytical brain has always been obsessed with finding concrete answers. it’s always been ‘what can *I* do’#so even when i suffer there’s a part of me that says ‘it’s ok once i’m done crying i can work this out and go right back to trying’#i’ve been emotionally dead for years but i’ve always held onto faith like that#tonight i feel like i’ve been brought low. i feel like i’ve finally been told that i might just have to wait after all#which i might think would be comforting bc it absolves me of responsibility#but it’s actually crushing bc it absolves me of power#i feel like i’m finally facing the realization that i’m powerless and pathetic and i’m never going to be able to fix myself#that i can try as hard as i want but i can’t shake off this cross#but i don’t know how long i have to wait for someone to find me#and even if they find me how do i not fumble it#my first instinct is to push people away bc i assume they’re not really interested they’re just trying to be nice#which is usually true#i don’t even know how to sustain casual friendships and im so desperately in need of deep ones#i can’t open up to someone without just breaking apart and making it clear how pathetic i am#one would think i ought to find someone better than myself who can fix me#but on the other hand i think the only time that the good parts of me come out is when im facing someone even worse than me#like i have a tendency to morph into the opposite of the other person in any given situation to maintain healthy balance#so like when surrounded by extroverts which is almost always i become an introvert#it’s rare to meet an introvert but then i become stronger and more extroverted around them. like something in me just loves helping others#even though i can’t help myself#what do i pray for? a fellow pathetic person? or someone with the patience and kindness and life knowledge of a saint?#will either of them really be found just by chance in my life?#and even if i do meet someone. truly i wish they’d also be lonely. i want them to need me#i don’t want to be a pity charity case. like a side project for someone with real friends already

every time i'm looking to buy something cheap at the market board i ask myself "what's the most casual server in NA" because more casuals = more crafters = cheaper crafted & crafter related stuff (potentially)

Part of me is like "I should put more effort into trying to socialise and make friends" and part of me is like "not only am I already so busy I cannot be bothered to go out and pretend to be normal as best I can only for people to be half heartedly interested in me"
