Hii!! If you dont mind writing something dark. Can you write satosugu with reader who often gone because she is sort of depressive and just want to run away. Reader is cool and collected in outside but never really expressed anything about herself. Thank youu in advanced
SatoSugu x reader
->You're a grade 1 sorcerer, and literally bestfriends with everyone. The problem is, you never smile. Nah, that's not your thing. But you can understand everyone, and look from their perspective before comforting them. You're a close friend of theirs, but how come they don't know anything about you??
Warnings!!!! Dark themes, gn!reader, mentions of suicide and death, swearing!!!!
Tumblr media
"Man, where is Y/N? It gets boring when they're not around." Satoru sighed and pouted, not liking the silence in the room.
"That's for you to ask and nobody to know." Shoko replied with a bored tone, she was used to you disappearing out of nowhere. Now, don't get her wrong. She is worried about you, and she actually tried to search for you one time, but couldn't find you even if she was looked around for 3 hours.
Suguru was looking at the floor with an unreadable expression, the trio was just sitting around and doing nothing other than joking around with eachother. But Suguru felt off, one month ago, as everyone was hanging out together, Haibara said he never saw you smile. You just shrugged and told them "There's nothin' funny.", then Satoru and Haibara teamed up to make you smile, making dumb expressions and making Nanami sigh out of disappointment. ((It didn't make you smile at all.))
Suguru started to notice; how you would look out of window deep in thought, how you would disappear after the missions, how you would stare with an unreadable gaze when Suguru and Satoru laughed at their own jokes. Suguru opened up about this to Satoru, and he said he saw you sitting with your head down with fists clenched once. Now, Suguru was a smart man, he could connect the dots but he couldn't understand you. Not when he doesn't even know when your birthday is—
Wait.
"Do you guys know Y/N's birthday?" Suguru suddenly asked, Satoru and Shoko shared a look before opening their mouths to reply—
Wait, did you ever mentioned your birth date?
"...I..don't.." Shoko felt ashamed, beacuse you knew everything about her. How she liked her coffee, which foods she prefered, the clothes she liked to wear, the movies she liked to watch..and she doesn't even know your birthday? Satoru was wearing a similar expression, he actually opened up to you about his problems. How everyone was expecting him to be the best, how he felt too much pressure on his shoulders, how people didn't see him as Satoru but as Gojo. You comforted him, you put yourself in his place and both of you talked shit about higher-ups for the next hours. Then you turned to him and said :
"People sucks, the only thing they know is how to talk. You could feel like you're the only one and nobody is there for you, but you're not alone Satoru."
Oh how great he felt after you said those words, he noticed you were actually very good at empathizing. Probably the only thing he knows about you besides your name and age.
"I can't believe after all these years, the only thing we know about them is that their name and age." Satoru said, looking at the ceiling. Suguru sighed and texted you for the 28th time, you didn't respond, you never did.
"I think we need to confront them about it, maybe there is something going on that they can't bring themselfs to tell us." Suguru said, looking up from his phone to see his friends. Shoko sighed and shook her head.
"Maybe If you two are the ones confront them, I think they're closer to the both of you than us." Shoko said, lighting up a cigarette. Suguru and Satoru shared a look before nodding, they were going to talk about this when they had the chance.
.
.
.
"Where were you yesterday? We called you like, 40 times?" Satoru frowned, slightly glaring at you as he poked your cheek. Suguru nodded, wanting to hear your excuse too.
"My phone was on silent, I didn't really notice it." you said, clearly avoiding the real question. They both frowned, the three of you were sitting at a table, eating some snacks that you paid for. You came back after disappearing for 10 hours and they took the chance to talk about your problems, but there was an issue, you refused to tell them anything about yourself.
"And? Where were you when you were not at school? We even searched for you." Suguru said, watching as you sighed and took a sip of your cold water. You were clearly thinking of a way out of here.
"Does it really matter? Why are you asking me questions anyway, I thought this was a date and not an interrogation." you said, trying to cover yourself with a flirty sentence. To your surprise, it didn't work this time.
"Tell us the truth or I'm really going to use my cursed technique on your liar ass." Satoru said and rolled his eyes, you never saw him this serious. Ugh, these questions are really overwhelming you.
"..."
"Why the fuck do you want to know about me? It's really starting to get annoying."
They both stared at you with a 'don't give us that shit right now' stare, you groaned and looked at the ceiling. Thinking if you really should tell them, you really don't like to talk about yourself, and about your own problems? Ah, hell no. You don't want to open up to anyone until the day you die.
"After I use my cursed technique, well, it hurts me both physically and mentally I guess. I don't want to show that side of me to you guys so I just...hide. Where I go is none of your business." Their eyes widened, so that's why you always disappear after missions? Suguru was in deep thought, so that's why you didn't want to fight curses if not necessary. And why you always had a painkiller in your pocket. This was bad, why didn't they notice you were hurting? Were they that blind?
"Then why are you a jujutsu sorcerer you dumb fuck? You—You're an important friend to everyone in that damned place! What if you die beacuse of it, huh?!" Satoru shouted, he really wanted to punch you in the face so you would realize that—
"Do I look like I wanna continue living?" you asked, looking away from them. Fuck, you were not supposed to say that. Now they'll blame themselves beacuse they didn't notice it earlier or some shit like that.((they were actually blaming themselves))
"..."
There was a silence at the table for the next 2 minutes, both Suguru and Satoru looking at you with shock. Suguru wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say. How could they help you in any way? You clearly didn't want to talk about it any more than it is. Satoru was having a hard time understanding what you meant, you always pushed people to not give up and talk about their problems beacuse 'It would hurt more if you bottled it up.'((your words, not his.)) So how come you made them fight for their life when you already gave up your own? Why did you lie?
"Idiot. You're a total idiot." Satoru said quietly then raised his hand and smacked your head, you were actually surprised, just as you raised your head to tell him to fuck off Suguru smacked your head too.
"What the-"
"And you still have the audacity to face us? Shit head." Satoru rolled his eyes and hugged you, his hold on you very tight. Suguru held your hand and squeezed it to give you comfort.
"You were there anytime we needed you, so let us do the same alright?" Suguru said as Satoru let go of you, you noticed his eyes were a bit teary. Suguru was smiling but you could tell he was sad you didn't told them anything. What was this? Were you actually feeling loved? Nah, that was not your thing. Then what was this warm feeling in your chest? Damn it, why did you felt like crying?
To both Suguru and Satoru's surprise, you laughed. You had a nice laugh, they thought.
"You both are—really making me feel fuzzy and soft." You smiled and hugged them both, Suguru chuckled and hugged you back as Satoru felt nice you ruffled his hair while you hugged him.
Everything was good for now.

Im genuinely really disappointed in Kittycorn for the fact that despite kit's relatively large following, kittycorn has said NOTHING publically about palestine, despite having the power to lead a lot of people to a lot of resources.
��Kit doesn’t have much of an internet presence outside of Sparklecare!!!” Then explain to me why i see so many popular artists who barely share jackshit about their personal lives, not even their pronouns, and yet still reblog and share stuff about Palestine. Kittycorn has literally 0 excuse not to say *anything*.
I'm gonna be so real and say that I'm half-expecting Kittycorn to be like "oh i dont reblog anything about it cuz it makes me sad :-((("
kit could at least like. Draw the Sparklecare characters in support for Palestine. Kit could do the bare fucking minimum here.
Kittycorn has such a large following and a lot of power, whether kit likes it or not. I understand Kittycorn did not want this large following, nor does kit want more of it, but christ can you fucking do something?
I don't know why people aren't talking about this.
holy fucking shit youre right. ive noticed that too but i didnt wanna bring it up because i know that would make me seem "desperate" to "attack kit" or something but yeah. the ONLY thing ive seen kit do to raise awareness is post an announcement with the arab.org link in the comet caring club server. yknow the one that most fans DONT EVEN KNOW ABOUT since its closed off? yeah. no public statement or anything. no tags in any bios, no watermelon emoji, nothing. COMPLETE SILENCE on anything that isnt kits own comic. fucked up, especially since the sparklecare blog is without a doubt kits biggest platform.
there was this fanart of uni holding the palestinian flag and it was really accurate to the official artstyle, i thought it was official when i first saw it. and it had a shit ton of reblogs, including me on my main. i recognized so many names scrolling through the list. but wanna know who i DIDNT see? thats right, the official sparklecare blog. kits either ignoring it completely or actively dancing around the subject, which is NOT GOOD.
i am in no way trying to accuse kneeby or anyone on the sparklecare team of being a zionist, but i would definitely like to highlight the blatant ignorance the official blog has shown. this isnt the only time ive seen kneeby act this way, as kit also has #blm #acab in kits twitter bio but from what ive seen kits done absolutely nothing to actually raise awareness to said causes, which rubs me the wrong way since im black myself. however now kneebys completely avoiding doing anything, not even a hashtag anywhere. just a single announcement in a private discord.
and yes im putting fanart and au tags on this post, people need to notice this. do better.

I think I'm confused. How do you know they don't like the characters if they've watched the show and recognize them? Like I get being being disappointed or annoyed if they're leaving stupid tags or not getting why you made it or the significance of the relationship or they don't want to talk about it with you I just don't get what you meant by referential obligation bc generally I would've thought if they reblogged it was bc they DID like the characters in some way, even if it wasn't the same way or to the same extent.
I'm sorry if this is a stupid ask I just don't get it.
Tumblr media
no i think its a fair question to ask and this is why i say that
you assume they DO recognize them. some people have left tags to the effect of "i dont remember that guys name"
others have tagged every character except bido
its just kind of a thing that the more notes something has the more likely people are to reblog it. "hey this has a lot of notes and i know that anime" is a very common reason for the average casual blogger to reblog something, especially the ones who just spam reblog a hundred posts at a time at the speed of sound
i am absolutely positive that over ten thousand people do not give enough of a shit about bido fullmetalalchemist to reblog a post featuring him solely because they like him. maybe they like greed or mei but ive been in fma fan circles long enough to know that if you ask the average fma fan their thoughts about bido, the most common answer will be "who"
on the art i made telling people to imagine the premise of my fanfiction (scars team + greed and bido being friends), once it left my immediate circle, everyone(!!!) started leaving tags like "my favorite dynamic" "this is why i love fma" "arakawa was so real for this". Greed And Bido Are Very Clearly Standing There. Arakawa Did Not Do That. Apparently This Is Registering To Nobody and Nobody Mentions Their Presence
that one was reblogged by takashi 0 the conservative brony.
another conservative antivax blogger reblogged it, said "isnt this just fullmetal alchemist", and yelled at his wife (also a tumblr user) when she told him it was in fact fullmetal alchemist
please trust me .

ok so i’ve been asking everyone today: if you were to add a third person to royai, who would you add and why?
Interesting ask! I have 3 candidates depending on the absurdity and toxicity scale lmaoo. On the lowest rating we have Best Girl Rebecca Catalina. This is a Riza Hawkeye WINS scenario because she now has two of her favourite people together w her. She has two hands and she's happy neither is holding a gun.
Next up I believe it would be SO FUNNY if Jean Havoc got his heart broken one too many times and is just like YOU KNOW WHAT - goes up to Roy Mustang - SIR I'VE QUIT WOMEN *confesses his feelings* and Roy is like sputtering "But I'm with the Lieutenant-??" And Jean is just like: "With both of your permission, the Lieutenant is too scary to be a woman. She doesn't fall within that category for me." Meanwhile Riza is like *unlocking the hidden box in her brain w all the scenarios she imagined putting Roy and Jean through for her own amusement* "Colonel, I think this is a fine idea."
And then my worst contender my toxic blorbo my squiggly little freak my love to put him in situations he cant get out of unscathed bastard my says it how it is and doesnt give a shit about tact short king - Solf J. Kimblee.
Manga characterization only for this man because Fmab made him into a one dimensional bastard and I dont mesh w him. They took out your nuance king!!!
Ishval toxic trio. Riza sleeps w Kimblee because this is as close to self harm as she can get to. Roy wants to fight Kimblee because of this. Kimblee goads him into fucking instead. Now Riza and Roy have this weird thing going on where theyre not gonna sleep w each other but theyre dancing around it via fucking Kimblee. Kimblee, incredibly pleased w himself, is like I am going to get these two to fuck even if I have to be in the middle of it. I love whatever they have going on. It's so ugly. Ipso facto, the culmination is a threesome where they're all nasty. It can end just like canon where Kimblee goes to prison , Roy burns Rizas back, and theyre nothing but coworkers w A SHIT TON OF HISTORY. Kimblee gets out of prison, finds out theyre still lying to each other about their feelings: *sigh* I am so disappointed. It's just two steps forward five back with those two. / or Kimblee doesnt go to prison and he's just like COMMITTED to getting them together because he doesnt have a philosopher's stone and so this is how he's going to fill his time. Also loves getting fucked on the side, he's a man of very simple interests. Funniest addition would be if he's part of Team Mustang.
"I can either talk about Ishval or I can arrange a date for you w Riza. Your choice, Mustang."
Mustang, deeply uncomfortable by this man: "I wish you were in prison."
Kimblee: "You're the fourth person who's said that to me this morning actually! :D "
Dynamic for this would be - Riza and Kimblee are kinda friendly because theyre fucked up emotionally / Roy cant stand Kimblee meanwhile Kimblee is like I LOVE annoying this man / and Riza is like god you know maybe I shouldn't waste my life yearning and I should confess to Roy... on second thought... no. Too scary. / Roy is like THESE ARE LIES AND SLANDER I FEEL NOTHING BUT FRIENDSHIP TO THE LIEUTENANT / Kimblee, hands to his mouth to shout: YOU'RE A LIAR NOW, TOO, MUSTANG? For shame! Don't look away from your feelings.

I don’t know how I feel about the documentary too. They are the same creator of the F1 amazon doc which was not really good and just added extra drama. I did not like it. And I personally hope they didn’t bother Willy too much when he had those severe migraines. I like seeing behind the scenes, but I don’t want them to exploit someone’s health. Like, from what I could tell, his migraines were like blinding type. It’s not fun at all as someone who used to get major migraines. And just the disappointment. All the boys and the core. Imagine: you are one of your team’s best players and are hit with migraines and then your team is losing. You come back and make some of the most critical come backs and points. You have all this hope and your best friend scores the final goal. And all that while one of your best teammate is making a lot of effort that is getting unrecognized by the public and instead he is belittled. Then, the coaches are putting the weakest goalies for the first games and when you put the best goalie, he gets injured right before your final match.
I really don’t want to see this again personally. I rather set myself on fire. It was a shit show. And the whole team was sad, but I believe the most affected ones were William (him and Pasta hugging was just such a bittersweet feeling), Mitch (this man was in the trenches with all the fans and media), Morgan, John, Auston, Ilya (that hug after game 7 with Auston touched me so much) and Joseph. Sheldon Keefe also, let’s mention him.
honestly when i saw him in the trailer sitting watching the game on tv despite being out with migraines im like ? please go sleep, lol. i don't need to imagine it bc i was living through announcements eveyr 2 hours about who would be in or out bc of health. and then rumors dropping from insiders abt it all like... what a nightmare. i'm not even THAT hung up on losing to boston in general like that's not why i'm probably not tuning in but. for the players i dont blame any of them for not wanting to relive that or like. let that distract them in any way before this season even starts. i saw someone complaining abt how they should have dropped the show during the summer but like........ do people understand the effort that goes into production of a show, lol. you don't film and automatically have the footage ready to be viewed by an audience. i just don't think there's a lot to be gained or interesting abt following willy around during that time honestly.

To me the appeal of SMT has always been its uniqueness and willingness to stand out, but with modern entries they just wanna recreate the success of Nocturne and don't get that the experimental nature of the series is like, what makes it good. The creators of the series used to describe it as "punk" and recent SMT feels like the modern Hot Topic definition of punk
seriously!!!
its honestly so disappointing... like they are never going as balls to the wall as they did with even smt2 not even in a "oh its harder to get away with bastardizing christianity so directly" but more like "damn they really stopped wanting to think". let alone as experimental as nine and nocturne.
i don't know if its an aging team getting safer with their approach and more conservative (i dont mean ideologically, though from what ive heard about v... maybe a tiny bit of japanese conservatism got in there) even though there's been a clear rotation in key staff (but the ones that are visible... well they're not exactly young either).
even spinoffs wise i like the subversiveness and spunk of 90s smt. devil summoner, persona 1 and 2, soul hackers, they all feel like they were made by people who were expressing themselves and their world view as it was. i don't really get that feeling from modern mainline. as for modern persona i think its squarely a "hashino is a hack that keeps recycling the same twists and story beats and he also hates women and minorities" issue.
in my heart i think "well spinoffs are the best smt anyway!"
cuz dds, desu, even raidou that i honestly don't care for that much (its just my old devil summoner series bias), they're all really good. i feel like up to that point, there is still a spark.
but the last real spinoff we got was desu2. p5 barely counts! im heartbroken... i was hoping smtv would do super well and be good so they would feel safe enough to do more!! and we got soul hackers 2, im very happy about it (sh2 could have been shit and i still would have been happy). smtv probably did well all things considered but like i said it left very little impact... idk, it troubles me so much ...

Yo im so tired of people on here coming into writers inboxes and complaining about shit. THIS IS FUCKING FREE!!!! Were fucking lucky that they are responding to ANY messages about their work let alone fucking unconstructive and rude complaints. Because they literally don’t have to do any of this at all. NOTHING! They can post one chapter of a series and hype it up and then never post anything else about it again. They can write for one fandom for years, then switch on a dime and never write anything else for it again. They can say again and again that a fic is almost done then never release it. They don’t owe us shit. It’s a privilege to be able to read the drabbles, scenarios, and fucking novel and series-length stories with the themes, characters, and world-building that we love so much. And then to be complaining about some editing???? I’ve begun stories that I’ve been excited about the premise, and the grammar has been to the point that it’s completely pulled me out and I couldn’t finish it even though I loved where the story was going. I’ve only been reading works on this blog for like a month now, so I don’t know about old stuff. The last one i read I read (the jin gamer/roommate fic i think?) there were like maybe 2 or 3 times where i had to go back and reread and piece together what the intention was or where there seemed to be a missing word, but that’s so rare and like, didn’t pull me out of the story that much. And it’s fucking free! If i paid for a book, then i might be disappointed, but if i paid for a book, there probably would have had a whole publishing team that would have edited that out in the first place!!! Go read things you know are edited if you dont like it and don’t bother people who are providing free things that don’t hurt anyone because of dumb ass reasons.
I 100% get if you don’t post this if you don’t want all this yelling and negativity, but I hope you know that you are appreciated for what you give so freely. This is just one of many comments ive seen lately come to writers on here and while some of them have seemed to come from well-intentioned people, there’s like a sense if entitlement that’s completely unearned behind it that makes me fume! I try to stay out of other people’s business but this made me so mad!!!
Hi wow okay first of all - thank you for overall just getting it. Writing is a really hard thing to do and there are a lot of content creators on this website who are churning out content and trying to do their best to make it good enough for those who engage with them.
I agree with a lot of points on this - when we start to consider reader/writer relationships, a lot of people don't realize that there really isn't an obligation on the writer to do things the way that they're expected, whether it's updating at a certain frequency or editing a certain way or just... anything. While most of the CCs I know (including myself) rely really heavy on audience feedback for the way that we do things, there are certain perceptions, comments or expectations that are just super tiring.
While I totally understand how my minimal editing can seem lazy or like I don't care - that's certainly not it. It's just really the lesser of two evils for me - either I can use editing programs if I don't have someone to beta immediately, or I can delay posting for a few days while I get my bearings and edit.
Most of my writer friends will tell you that editing your own stuff is hard for some people. For some writers it's super easy to pump out a huge fic and turn around and edit. For others, it's not. It's really about what works best for each person, and this is currently what works best for me (I get really nervous delaying fics over and over again because I don't give myself enough grace and time to finish).
But overall - yes, agreed with a ton of things you said in this and I'm responding publically because I think there are a lot of really great points about the writer/reader relationship and expectations.
Editing more is something I definitely want to work on and I'll be better at asking for betas (I always feel very intimidated to do this) but yeah. Thank you!!

suisasu
Ship It | Don't Ship It
1. What made you ship it?
the parallels, oh my god the parallels. both of them are the younger sibling of a deceased prodigy who was a child soldier. both are prodigies in their own rights whose passion for their art (swordsmanship for suigetsu, the ninja arts in general and being a competitive little shit who likes to fight for sasuke) was corrupted and exploited by the shinobi system. both were abducted for their hiden ability and kekkei genkai respectively.
but more than their similarities, their differences are what make the parallels truly work. sasuke is clearly suigetsu's moral compass, and in team taka they're the only ones who explicitly want revolution/radical change due to being outraged by the injustices surrounding and affecting them, rather than being motivated by loyalty like juugo and karin. however while sasuke is direct about his ideals and sets the team's goals, suigetsu is deeply emotionally repressed about his morals, so he chooses to be a follower: he relies on sasuke (rather than his own morals) to guide him and stop him from killing; he tells the imprisoned people in oto that sasuke is going to save the world; he's disappointed in the five kage summit arc when sasuke starts to abandon his pacifism.
theyre also just really funny together
2. What are your favorite things about the ship?
sword lesbians
3. Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?
not really? i dont think suisasu has enough shippers to even have popular opinions, let alone unpopular ones
send me a ship!

blah
feeling very, very blah today.
I want to say it's likely because I'm about to get my period and I know that is true, but my mind plays so many tricks on me and I'm just teaching myself now how to train it and not listen to all the thoughts in my head and think that they're all real because they are not.
Work is changing a lot. It went from just me and my co-worker to now a boss and 2 other coworkers on our team and it's definitely been quite an adjustment.
It was just the 2 of us managing the department, so when we got a boss she split both of our roles into 2 roles which I am VERY grateful for and incredibly proud of myself for being a 1 man show for the marketing and communications, however it's been well over a month and I still have yet seen my revised job description. I've brought it up several times, and I ensure to angle it so I am clear on my tasks and can check all the boxes that I'm suppose to be doing now. Every time I ask she'll just say "oh ya..." so what do I even say after that??
The new guy who took over the other half of the role is alright. He's quite creative and incredibly digitally talented. He used to be a freelancer but then got sick of not being able to "turn off" as an entrepreneur, so thats why he wanted to work for someone else.
He keeps complaining about how hes on week 3 and the company still hasn't provided him his work computer, so he has to bring in his $6000 computer everyday - which I really don't see it being that terrible. I mean it's not ideal that after that long we still haven't provided him one and ya it doesn't look great... but then he'll make comments about what we are providing him is a "downgrade" compared to what he is working with and was disappointed we weren't able to provide him with all of his asks. Like dude, you have to remember where you are working here, we aren't a top high level company corporation here - its a yacht club... I don't know why this bothered me so much.
Then this week the new girl who took over the other half of my coworkers job started. Shes young, peppy and very outgoing. Idunno why but I find her kind of annoying. it feels like she tries really hard, I guess because she just started and shes young. What really annoys me is that she seems to get along REALLY well with my favourite coworker Angela (The one where it was just me and her all along).
Also everyone is starting to just love her, especially HR and it's so fucking annoying because I really don't like HR. She trying to make this place into a hotel vibe, and it's not a hotel... it is a yacht club...
They're all just obsessed with her, and I mean thats great, but idunno, I guess i'm jealous? or something about my ego here, because I feel like I used to be her and the entertainer when I worked at my previous corporate job a few years ago. I loved being that outgoing, spunky, fun one who stuck out from the group. But I that's not really me anymore and part of that makes me sad, but on the other hand part of me is grateful that my life isn't that chaotic anymore because those are the stories that I would share at the lunch table at work. So maybe it's a good thing because really all these stories she tells is about her toxic friends or things that happen to her - when I've been through that and learned my stuff.
I'm the type of person who goes to work to get shit done, make a difference, do my job and learn while I go. But this whole setting almost feels like a popularity contest and it's soooo different then what Im used to (with the corporate background). I've read before that 80% of doing well at work is the people liking you, and 20% how well you actually doing your job.
Reminder:
you are learning from this expereince
you are liked by your coworkers
you are also older than her and this is her "young chaotic" time in her life
You have a life outside of work
You've come to a point where you dont' care if people like you, you know your people

Different anon, I'm also a little disappointed and I feel really bad about it. I really don't have time to watch the stream and it's all making me want to cry.
I'm going to go out on a little limb here and say something that might come off as a little dissatisfied. I know I have a few mutuals who are the work very closely with the people who work with Sean or literally do work with Sean on this project so I am very sorry please stop reading if you are one of those people.
I really don't like the puzzles. I actually kind of hate them. I'm a sucker for incredibly detailed pieces of lore and very complex narrative stories and mise en scene storytelling and this just seems kind of shit. I'm not really a fan of things where you interact in the chat, not to mention there's over 40,000 people trying to play one game it's just not going to work. I know that Soph told some people in the discord server that the tic-tac-toe AI was on the highest setting and that was the reason it was taking so long, but it feels like all of this stuff is just perpetual meaningless stalling. I want to see the content! I want to see Chase!! I want more of those 2 tiny snippets that we've seen of the story we've been waiting for for 6 years. And what I'm getting instead is just a bunch of people in the chat trying to play a bunch of tiny puzzles that I have no interest in for 8 hours straight (possibly, its an estimate soph themself stated in the discord call). I don't know what the team running this is trying to do with this or what the goal of this is, but I kind of just wish the whole puzzle thing could be thrown out window so we could actually get the content that we all wanted so we dont have to just watch a bunch of people in the chat play a board shuffling game.
All of the story bits are fantastic so far and they're incredibly acted and very tense, so why arent we getting any more of that?
I know this is good, i know this has been worked hard on, but this stuff we're seeing, i dont like it. I dont like the idea of stalling this content we've already had stalled on for 5+ years just like... not coming for 10 hours because we're playing AI chess.

RE: Your post. Here's my two pence as a WOC who grew up outside of western media culture and is engaging with it only now as an adult. I feel like a big part of it is
a) that there are POC in more visible and important roles. Most POC tend to get sidelined ALOT and dont tend to get enough screen time and promenence to challenge racists perception of what's 'right' according to their little self-absorbed bubble. You see this most visibly in MCU etc. With the reaction to black panther, Sam Wilson and the like. Even in a diverse film or show the main character is always white and their love interest (if not white) is always an acceptably light skinned person (colourism is A BIG problem even in non western media)
2) alot of these characters are WOC who pretty much ALWAYS get the short end of the stick and get basically a double dose of racism and misogyny. Especially if they aren't light skinned enough or suitably white looking. (Tangen but related is the way that Disney cast a half white-half Indian actress as an Arab princess even though there are so many talented middle eastern actresses for the position and the use/exploitation of actors with mixed white heritage as basically [insert race] lite [tm] which is unfair to everybody involved except for the system the profits from this whole thing). WOC are more vulnerable to harrassment, racism and criticism because we arent protected and supported the way white women facing misogyny tend to be black women especially bear the brunt of this. Companies especially wont bother to protect their POC actors look at all the star wars sequel trilogy actors who were harrased and threatened off of social media and had their characters and work ruined by white fans using shipping as an excuse for their internalised racism.
Personally I've left the fandom after season one and tend to move on from fandoms pretty quickly because I just don't have the energy to deal with all the casual racism anymore. Sorry for the long rant! I've just been bottling this up for a long time. Thank you so much for doing all you do and bringing up and challenging racism in fandom! I really appreciate it and follow you even after having left the fandom behind! Sorry if some of my explanations don't make much sense. I've tried my best to explain things in English but it isn't my first language and it's hard to verbalise these concepts without making it seem like I'm hating on people or being stupid. Much love x
First, thank you SO MUCH for sharing your thoughts. I read every word and you are right on every count.
I’ve loved fantasy since I was a kid and The Witcher was the first time I saw woc being centered in the story. And it was the first time I saw so many woc in a fantasy show, and the fact that they keep adding more woc to the cast is amazing!!
And we absolutely see backlash when any characters of color get starring roles. The abuse that Anthony Mackie had faced as Captain America is disgusting.
And you are SO right. The fact that there are so many woc in prominent roles puts a target on their back.
I am so disappointed in the executives and media team behind The Witcher and even outlets like Redanian Intelligence because they do NOTHING to protect their cast who constantly get shit on. Lauren tried to make a point about diversity but she ended up falling into the tolerance paradox and engaging with racists. And she did apologize and learn from it…but one half-assed attempt from a show runner is not nearly enough.
And the colorism point. SAY IT LOUDER. Because the show itself has some serious colorism and texturize problems when it comes to characters like Triss and Francesca. And to be honest, some of that problem comes from the fans demanding actresses of color conform to a white standard of beauty.
I totally understand you leaving the fandom. I’ve had so many fandom friends leave one by one because they couldn’t handle the racism anymore. Almost all of them were woc or poc and it fucking sucks and it’s sad but completely understandable. Honestly I feel really humbled and grateful that ur still following me despite leaving the fandom —- so thank you 💛
Also this was INCREDIBLY well verbalized and written!! You know exactly what to say and how to say it in a concise and knowledgeable way.

i dont wanna hear shit from anyone about alexandra trusova's "tantrum" over winning silver.
she's 17. she is a child. you can't honestly say that you had a meltdown at an inappropriate time over being disappointed when people thought you should be happy? you can't honestly say that you put all your effort in, it still wasn't enough, and you sobbed and lashed out over it? the ONLY difference is that you were lucky enough not to be live-broadcasted to the entire world while you did it.
she wasn't in teams — so she's the only one with no gold. she's won no major competitions — because her rinkmates, and usually the same person who beat her today, keep beating her. she put in five quads. and it still wasn't enough. and she's 17.
she's a child. she's a child whose coach and rinkmate are now under investigation, who's been put through the wringer the last few weeks, who's been slowly but surely pushed out of her spot as one of figure skating's best by russia's newest up and coming little girl, and who can't even go home at the end of the day and hug her mom or play with her dog to make it better.
i don't wanna hear shit from anyone about alexandra trusova's meltdown over winning silver.

It would be a lie to say that I'm not the tiniest bit salty about what happened this mcc, but I think the people over on twitter raging on it are really overracting. I don't care about the hbomb thing, it was a glitch and he used it to his advantage, good for him. People have done it before. Wlbur glitch anyone? However, I think the thing that is bothering me a bit is Ace race. The fact that everyone was screwed over except Scott's team, who did perfectly fine, is a bit annoying. If it had been any other team that had figured it out and gotten an advantage it would be fine, like good for them for figuring it out. but the fact that Scott's team had such a big advantage over everyone else just going into it feels the slightest bit rigged. Like Scott knew he would have an advantage over everyone, I think it would just of been good sportsmanship to just reset after it went so terribly for everyone but his team. Then again, as of right now I've only seen red rabbits pov so maybe other team's didn't struggle as much, but it seems like everyone participating was at least a little bit annoyed.
I think the big thing that bothers me about it the most is Tommy's team were doing just so incredibly well. Like they were performing so much better then I expected, Tommy literally did amazing and niki?? She popped off! She performed so much better then I thought she would, I was so happy to see her survive for all of survival games (is that what its called?) Tubbo and vikkstar did amazing as well, they worked so well as a team. I really wanted to see them win or at least get topped three, I feel like they deserved it. It hurt to see them get screwed over so much towards the end. Bless Tommy for being such a good sport, you can really tell he's a good kid when you watch him in mcc.
Bt at the end of the day, it's just a block game. It's just a bit disappointing how things turned out win wise. Like, it's hard for me to feel excited for a team that literally got like a huge advantage over everyone else by having a literal developer on their side and pretty stacked players from what I've seen. Not to mention the glitch, but no ones really to blame for that. I think Scott's team could at of least benefitted from a low scoring player in their midst to make up for the fact that Scott was the only one who had experience in the games and could help his teammates with them as well. So yeah, I don't r e a l l y care much at all, that's just something that kind of bothered me a bit.
yeah i couldnt give less of a shit about the hbomb thing, people take advantages of glitches in mcc all the time like the aforementioned wilbur glitch and phil's thing in rocket spleef and tommy in sands of time and a dozen other things, especially in hitw because that game is hella scuffed. doesnt really matter chill.
i agree with what wilbur said on his twitter, i honestly dont really care about the ace race thing because shit like thats happened before to the captain in mcc2 and to fundy in mcc-i-forgot-which-one-maybe-10-but-it-happened. and it happened to a lot of people. But i do wish they would admit that scott Did have an advantage and that they're sorry and will fix that for next time.
like watching wisp's vod, im a little bit miffed that scott seemed aware that that would trip people up saying "when you get to the elytra bit, i would recommend going down" of course that 100% doesn't excuse sending hate to scott or any of the winners, fuck right off with that. it's an mc tournament For Fun. no money or glory really, just a coin. this shit shouldn't overshadow the fact that they all performed very well and it shouldnt take away from any of the players'—especially wisp and jimmy since this was their first—win.
but aqua didn't even score first in points, that went to blue. they got second and then beat them in dodgebolt fair and square.

Beta Tester
Kozume Kenma X Reader
-YN LN is a popular mangaka
Chapter 16: Stage
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Seeing you running towards him made Kenma frown.
"Kenma!" You waved. "Thank you for not leaving yet!"
Ignoring you he continued to walk towards the direction of the stage.
You pouted and crossed your arms. "You know... As sorry as I am for that kiss I really don't regret it."
Jogging up in front of him with a shit eating grin, you positioned yourself in front of him where he'd have no choice but to look at you while you looked at him. His ears were slightly red without a doubt but who were you kidding yours were too.
Kenma cleared his throat, "Good for you then. Now get out of the way so I could get out of here. "
"And honestly I liked that kiss." You continued determined to see him flustered again. "Your lips were soft and I bet my ass you're a great kisser. I rate you 10/10 would do it again."
With a glare he looked at you straight in the eyes, "So do it pussy." Then went ahead before you could see the red settling on his face.
"I- Wh- Excuse me- Wh- Huh? K-Ken- Kenma!!" You squeaked as you chased after him.
"I said what I said."
You finally caught up to him when he was about to climb the stairs towards the stage. Luckily(?) you also have to go up with him.
"Ehh... Where's the flustered Kenma? I wanted to see you all blushy and panicked. You looked so adorable. I don't want hot daddy Dom Kenma. I want cute baby sub Kenma..."
As he was halfway up the stairs your height gap grew and he was way over you. He just looked down on you, leaning closer the gap barely existent he smirked.
"Too bad." Then turned away.
There were a handful of people who saw the scene. Which made you more embarrassed. Holy shit you acted all alpha online only to be dominated by a hermit named Kozume Kenma.
Boy were you happy. You'd happily submit to him.
"Let us all welcome the two people who made the game possible! YN LN and Kozume Kenma!!"
You might be confused why you two were the ones going and why you were introduced like that.
As you are the creator of Puri-Puri you of course are the reason why this game existed.
But Kenma came here as he's the biggest investor, the face of the game and no one else wanted to go. So yeah...
As you two came up the stage you were just wishing the blush from the scene a few moments ago. The cameras flashed and claps were heard.
"Shit the media is here..." You mumbled.
"Your surprised, why?" Kenma gave you an amused and disappointed look. No idea how he managed to do that but he did.
"Shut the fuck up. I just got a feeling the questions won't be about the game thanks to the media."
"So you do think sometimes..."
"You want me to hit you?"
A clearing of throat behind you stopped your argument. It was Akaashi handing you both microphones to be clipped on you [I'm sorry I dont know what they're called] .
"Good luck, don't do and say anything stupid. And remember this is the release of PPM's demo." He reminded and got off the stage.
"Good evening to you all! I hope you've been having a great time!" I started.
"We'd like to thank you again for attending the release of PPM's demo."
"Now of course the game is yet to be played but from the trailer that was shown, I hope you had enjoyed it since the game is going to be much better than the trailer!"
"I'm sure you all must've questions as well. That's why Me and your idi-- dear author will answer."
"You definitely were about to call me idiot." You frowned at him.
He smirked and shrugged. "I have not a slightest idea what you mean."
"You're the worst."
Ignoring you... Again. He motioned at one of the reporters to probably ask their question.
"Ms. LN, as the initial plot of the Puri-Puri Magika is about [REDACTED], and the trailer we saw have quite a large difference from one another only having the universe in similarty. Is it just the universe of the similar one to the manga? "
"Of course the plot would be different. It disappoints me quite a bit that none of you realized how they're connected aside from the universe. Well, I don't really want to spoil you but if you actually read the Manga and saw the trailer," You gave a proud smirk. "Everyone that was a fan of PPM in the team were ecstatic. They were all just-" You mimicked a mind blown. "They were so excited about the game and a those."
"Thank you Ms. LN."
"Next please."
"Mr. Kozume," the next one called. "You were neither a fan of YN, nor PPM, why did you decide to not only beta test the game but sponsor and invest big sum of money on the game."
"We--"
"No wait ! I want to answer some of those questions!" You cut off cackling. "The one about him investing and him beta testing! It's actually an annoying and Hella funny story."
"No I was a--"
"Shut up you'll probably lie."
"Shut up." Kenma now had his ears red. "Don't you--"
"He was the biggest asshole back then!"
"Stop talking."
"He fucking beta tested despite not knowing shit about PPM because it was the biggest game. And he just banwagoned  on it like a bitch he was."
"I did not. I had some clues about you Manga."
"You did not know shit about PPM cut yo bullshit. You didn't even know who the MC was!"
"Shut up."
"That's why he beta tested! Now the reason why he invested is really hilarious!"
"I really hate this story..."
"This was the reason why Kenma became Bae too! We didn't know shit about how to contact Kenma, we only had his email address and his social media. Keep that in mind. "
"So since he didn't know shit about PPM he really couldn't care about the plot and just looked for bugs and shit. He wasn't even aware of the bugs in the plot since he didn't know which what was supposed to be part of the plot and not. This bitch ass decided there wasn't any bugs anymore so we went with that. But then we had to play it and saw a shit ton of bugs."
"I said there were some bugs don't make me seems so stupid."
"You didn't even inform us about the glitch at the time skip part! That could've ruined the entire thing! Anywayz, so we had to code the game again. So we emailed him that there were way too many bugs other than what he told us so the next testing would be later. But the asshole never replied. And since I was the one entasked to guide this bitch ass, I  had to flood his email! And he didn't respond! Not once! It had been DAYS! I send him at least 20 emails everyday! I have up on the 3-4th day and DMed him on Twitter."
"I really hate this part."
"No. No. This is the best part. Do y'all remember that one trending #KodzuGone started by Tenma? It's because, this asshole never responded to our emails so I DMed him all the shit important shit in the emails. Then this bitch fucking blocked me! I fucking rante to Tenma and he canceled Kenma like he deserved to! I was panicking about it since Mr. Suzumiya told me that Kenma could be a potential investor if he wanted. And I needed cash... "
"Do not call me that publicly. You are disgusting."
"He went full sugar daddy on me!" You cackled. "His entire squad had betrayed him! They were canceling him so he just fucking slid into my DMs apologizing about the shit he did and I told him, bitch I'm coming over there and see you play this fucking game or I will not stop this canceling and make it worse. So he was forced to telll me his address and I'm not sure if yall saw the live but it was hot shit. The next day he bought all the copies of PPM at this one store and gave them to me and then he invested shit ton of money on my on going works, bought me a new tablet, paid my Keiji bills, and many other shit. Yall would die to have him as sugar daddy I'm telling you. Ya don't even have to give him sugar for the treats. "
"That was the biggest mistake I made."
"Awwe, but thanks to that we're closer than ever. "
"Exactly my point."
"Thank you for answering Ms. LN."
"I hate you so much." Kenma sighed pinching the bridge of his nose.
"No you don't. Admit it you love me."
"I really don't. Next question please."
"A-Ah, my initial question was actually answered in the previous question. It about your live. Now my question is, Ms LN and Mr. Kozume, is your relationship really a platonic one or a romantic one? "
"Okay, babe," You chuckled. "my man won't even let me breathe the same air he does. Ya think we're dating?"
"Well your right."
"What?"
"Excuse me?"
"Huh?! " You exclaimed a little louder than you thought since the mic made a loud noise.
"The relationship we have is both platonic and romantic. As labels aren't placed we share a romantic relationship." Kenma smirked.
You looked at him and the crowd with a clear eminent blush. "I-I I- Wh-"
Pulling you closer to him and turning around so the crowd won't see you both. He lowered the mic to prevent them from hearing.
"I wanted to see you all blushy and panicked . You look adorable." He whispered to your ear before facing the crowd again who were now going crazy over what Kenma had just confirmed.
"Y-You're an asshole..."
"Yeah, an asshole who..." lowering his mic again he leaned to your ear. "Still has your favorite onsie at his place. You really shouldn't have left it at my place. I'm so tempted to burn it."
"You leave my onsie alone! I will drown your consoles."
"With that threat, you're suddenly stripped of your house visit privileges."
"W-Why would you say we're dating?!"
"I didn't. I just said we both share a romantic and platonic relationship with no labels. I technically didn't lie too."
"Why did you do this?"
"Aside from wanting to see you all flustered? I'm probably drunk." Kenma smiled and turned to the crowd again. "Next question please."

Anyways back to my question. Look I wholeheartedly believe that dark choco can and will be redeemed by our precious milk because it make shit tons of sense! But tbh after finishing the dark cacao's story on kingdom I...feel like it's not going to happen anytime soon.
I was really disappointed in the story because I was expecting to see lotsa dark choco and milk's past as well as espresso and latte's past/tribe as well. Heck even licorice's past too and his connection to licorice monsters, and some cursed sword lore etc etc etc. But it only focused on caramel arrow and affogato. Milk was absolutely nowhere to be seen and both licorice and espresso only had one interaction with their village
if you had licorice and espresso on your team and try to interact with their villages espresso say something like " hmm. A faint smell of coffee residue seems like coffee tribe left long ago" and licorice will say "it was a shabby town to begin with..."
It really upsets me this was their one and only interaction.latte and milk don't even interact with their villages. It was supposed to be their time to shine. ((Like imagine milk (and maybe yam too) teamed up with gingerbrave on their adventure for delivering the letter and espresso hearing their little travel to dark cacao kingdom and joined them to see his village too. Massive fight featuring licorice with his newly found strong monster team gah that would be awesome. ))
Everytime the story moved it was only affogato and caramel arrow like.wow...affogato you are evil ? woooow so surprised. Oh you are trying to conquer the kingdom as well? Wow never been done before. Oh caramel arrow you are innocent? Wow really surprising, it was because of affogato? wow didn't expected that .oh your ancestors died? How...interesting.....
don't get me wrong tho I loved both of them and I think they are both great characters but this wasn't their time to shine tbh.i was expected their story to be like raspberry's. It still there but its not that important in the main story. Dark cacao's story was and needed to be lore heavy and I feel like he needed to be the last ancient to release just because of that reason. In the story both dark cacao and choco only meet like once? and they immediately started fighting with little to no dialog and it immediately switched to affogato like ...boy move I wanna see father and son death battle--aaand dark cacao fall on top of the tower...how...fitting. I know the story isn't complete yet but my hopes are already a little bit down. Hope devsis will deliver something more satisfying in the next update.
Yeah thats the unfortunate side effect of introducing new characters into a story like this because pressing matters that have already been set up get side-lined to shove the newer characters in the story. At least with Caramel she was already hinted at in Dark Chocos story but yeah Affogato is basically Jafar/Scar so... design-wise hes amazing as all effeminate Disney Villains tend to be but overall very predictable story-wise.
And yeah its unfortunate that Milk, Latte, Espresso, etc who have actual connections to the area but dont get much in the way of story because of the newer characters. Especially Milk since his character is FULLY revolves around the Licorice monsters almost exterminating all of his people and Dark Choco and his father saving them.
I guess were expecting too much for a mobile game about cookies but like... everything about Dark Cacaos kingdom leading up to this has been one of, if not, the most compelling stories in the whole franchise. Because really the only other long form story has been with Gingerbrave and his crew and theyre not really that interesting(as much as I love Strawberry).
Hopefully the second half does a bit better now that they got the new character introductions in.
