For the character bingo, how about Anthy?
Tumblr media
Anthy!!!!!!! One of my blorbos of all time!!!
Tumblr media
okay so. "deeper than she seems" is exactly what the show pulled on us—in the beginning she was presented as just a damsel that Utena has to save, but as the series progresses we get to see more and more behind the role of Rose Bride that reveals her interior life, and then! At the end she's the one who has the power to shut Akio's sick little game down! By walking away!!!!!
"they work better as part of a dynamic" a large part of why Anthy is so fascinating to me is that. She is constantly put into roles by other people—she's an empty vessel for which others project onto, whether as the 'prefect woman' as the Rose Bride, or the 'evil woman' as the Witch, and these roles are cyclical; her character doesn't make sense if you strip that context from her—so much of her is bound up in other people.
This doesn't mean she has no interior life—hell, the entire point of the series is that Utena finally sees her in the end, and that, despite having to survive by taking on the roles others have shoved her into, she is more than those roles, and she has the power to walk away. But so much of her had been shaped by how other people see her, and her character doesn't make sense if you just look at her without looking at how other people interact with her.
I also debated whether to put "they're done DIRTY by fans" but decided against it, bc that only applies to early Utena fandom imo (like, early 2000s when i watched it). Anthy isn't a "perfect victim" and she has a sadistic side, so some of the early discussions about her fall into the trap of either dismissing every petty/hurtful thing she's done OR making her out to be The Most Evil, which are both soooo far off the point imo. Nowadays I think discussions about her are a lot more nuanced, and people embrace that she's not a "perfect defenseless victim who's done no wrong" but she IS a victim and she does deserve support to break free from her abuser/the system that oppressed her. Complex female characters ftw!

7, 8, 13, 23!
7. Favorite character you wrote this year?
oh gosh okay a third one and a good one. as always, i love and adore margo nava, and writing xem continues to be an absolute delight.
8. Is there a skill you think you’ve improved the most on?
i think i've improved a LOT on dialogue this year. it isn't perfect, but i've made an active effort to diversify the voices of the characters i'm writing, and i think there's been some progress there. it's not always perfect, but it's WAY better, and that's cool.
13. What’s a fic you think should have gotten more attention?
i'm still very fond of hooked. i don't write for f@tt often, so i actually don't know if the attention it got is standard or not, but i'll take this excuse to hype it up a little lol.
23. Did you write for any fandom events? What were they?
i wrote for secsam! that's what hooked was for, actually. other than that, not so much. i've never really been one for big fandom events, although i admire them from afar.

🐸🐸🐸 I’m going to a Jim Henson traveling exhibit tomorrow and I need fun facts to entertain my family with
!!! thats so exciting have fun!
🐸: this isn't a very obscure fact, but kermit was originally just made from jim's mother's felt coat and a pingpong ball that was cut in half 🐸: there's a scene in great muppet caper where piggy does synchronized swimming, which required specially built piggys that would be waterproof (she's a flocked puppet, so, like, covered in fuzz, and the flocking would dissolve in the water so they had to engineer a way to do that) while still easy to puppeteer. this required nearly 30 piggy heads , because her heads would break if frank oz opened her mouth too wide, and 7 different bodies. because it was such a pain to figure out how to make these waterproof puppets, the damaged piggy heads got fuckin, viciously destroyed by the workshop folks who had designed her, as like a catharsis thing. 🐸: the original gonzo was designed with these very sad droopy eyes, which is how dave goelz played him. goelz was also brand new to puppetry, and put some of his anxieties about not knowing what he was doing into gonzo in the first season of muppets. because of this, gonzo was kind of a sad boring little guy UNTIL towards the end of season one gonzo had to shout "no" at something. jim kept telling dave he needed to yell louder, bigger, etc, until eventually gonzo found his voice by screaming "NNNNNOOO!" and thats how they figured out who gonzo was :)

For the character ask game: Minato with 7, 8, 22, 24?
7. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you like?
I do like when people kinda make him a weirdo kfnfjdnd, you could kinda make the case that he's like that in canon (like compared to Yu he isn't quite as popular or well-liked among the characters, at least at the start), but I like people playing into him being just this anti-social weirdo who probably wouldn't have made as many friends as he did if he hadn't been caught up in the whole dark hour business
Also this probably goes without saying cause I've said it a lot but I just fucking love Arisato twins, it'll continue to be my default way to view the two protags and I love them a lot
8. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you despise?
Kinda like with the last ask nothing's really coming to mind...I guess I don't like when dudebro persona fans get their hands on him but I can say that for every character lmao
(I already did 22 with Minato LOL)
24. What other character from another fandom of yours that reminds you of them?
When I first got into OMORI, I would draw similarities between Minato and Sunny, both being silent protagonists with outwardly quiet and neutral personalities, but realistically besides that they've got little in common. Although I've had an animation meme idea for a while that would be featuring these two characters together, and I'm excited for that whenever I get around to it :3c. Some may also remember my one p3 omori au thing I had that I have since abandoned cause I've realized my distaste for aus where characters from one series are just plopped into the roles of another (at least, when there isn't some spin on it), but yeah I had Minato as Sunny in that au lol

Oh hell yes we’re talking about yugioh? Let’s go: 9, 18, 21, 30
i forgot to answer this but i dug up the original question list because it's worth it
9. favorite minor character
immediate first thought is mako tsunami i love him. honorable mention: i just started watching zexal and kari <3 <3 <3
18. a random headcanon
ummm i've been thinking a lot about blair flannigan / rei saotome i think that she becomes like. a duel therapist. i think that she saw her best friend possessed by a fucked up card and essentially said. what can i do to help prevent kids from ever feeling that alone again.
21. which millennium item would you want and why?
i'm going to be completely real with you: i do not remember what they do. i just never internalized that. the necklace i guess. for bling
30. favorite episode
oh i've been keeping a list in my phone as i watch the series! if i had to pick one per series, it would be:
tea vs crump because. how to phrase this quickly. i'm really fascinated with non-duelists in a duel-centric world (esp insofar as dueling seems to play a similar role as pro sports) and i like the idea of someone who knows how the game is played but doesn't know how to develop a strategy
like literally every time jaden and jesse duel together, but in particular the one against yubel!marcel and also the episode immediately following about jaden's trauma/stress about jesse being left behind
the simultaneous carly/sayer and misty/akiza duels. honestly the carly episodes that end with her becoming a dark signer are maybe my favorites of any series

Good morning, good evening and Happy Secret Samol to @candidateofloyalty!!
A comic about two of my favorite divine siblings under the cut.
Heads up! There is some hopeful angst, some dark places and possible eyestrain (Layered text that makes it very hard to read).

Bonus:
Tumblr media
Smug lil' Kobus ^^
And some notes:
- The "we used to be gods" picture and the smug lil kobus were the things I started with.
- Love me an AU where candidates survive all of the horrors and get to grow up.
- I've listened a lot of Mommy by Miya Folick and my brain went "haha, what if c/w candidates and divines :)"

💌! (Also, I just did a bunch of Crane Wives lyric sporcle quizzes while wearing the bracelets and I felt a little like one of those imperial Chinese scholars with the socks covered in notes, it ruled)
that is so incredible. i'm honored to be part of such a longstanding tradition.
hedge i just love hearing about the different media you're into. it's so interesting to me in part bc we overlap in so few areas, so i have all of these impressions of how media goes and who is important and who is the best character, all shaped and framed by your thoughts on them, which like. knowing you. i guarantee is better than the source material anyway. i love reading your thoughts and analyses in part because they're clever and fun and also bc they're little windows into deep comprehensive understanding of things i would not know about otherwise!

What’s your favorite animal to see at the zoo/aquarium?
GASP . fantastic question. aquarium its manta rays and jellyfish hands down no question. the aquarium near where i grew up had manta ray touch tanks and that was sooo so special WAIT I HAVE TO . amend my answer its actually epaulette sharks i fucking love epaulette shark . THEY CAN WALK ON LAND and theyre sooo cute. at the zoo....i do not know when i was last at a zoo but probably its a big cat. one time i was on the safari ride at disney and the safari guide told us that cheetahs chirp instead of roaring or anything like that and i literally burst into tears immediately bc i thought it was so cute and he had to ask me if i was okay. ough now i wanna go to an aquarium...

13, 14, 47, 90?
13. talk about a writing experience that has pleasantly surprised you.
any time i've done first-person monologues and it has gone well! it's something that i struggle a lot with and have improved a lot on.
14. what's your worst writing habit?
i am one of those people who has trouble writing if i don't have the right music and the right vibe and the angle of the light is wrong and etc
47. what story are you most proud of?
oh what a question. the answer changes from day to day but i'll share two: this neoscum rock band au, which fits into what i was saying about being a distinct monologue/voice, and vault fic which was full of experimentation and effort and pushing and a lot of fun
90. do you notice your own voice in your writing style?
sometimes! not like extensively but i definitely am aware of my speech patterns being in there.
