Okay now i'm getting real thirsty for some new gay-undertone kdramas

I desperately want to know what upcoming kdramas (specifically thriller/crime genre) that have potential shippable pair of male lead characters (or supporting char) or have gay-undertones mxm pairing or have homoerotic antagonism vibe (even better)

There are two upcoming netflix's series that seems pretty good, Killer's Paradox (Choi Woo Sik and Son Suk Gu are the leads) coming out next month and Weak Hero Class 2 but it will come out last year i'm afraid. But I NEED MOREEEEEEE.

I already read a list of some upcoming drama this year but major of it has male-female leads so i don't really have much hope tho 🥲

Hi, know that I am platonically in love with you about your posts about Vel's internalized misogyny and homophobia and you love a villain in a way chronically missing from this fandom and I'm hanging every one of your 15 notes rambling paragraph on my fridge.

If you ever feel like your just screaming into the void know I am in a bush respectfully nodding along to your opinions

Vel fans are invited to the Eve-Lilith fans' Coalition against fandom misogyny, even tho she would not want to be there, just drag her along it's fine

THANK YOU…….. pls know that ive. showed this ask to all my friends who’re in fandom it is sooo sweet it is soo nice and know that i Do notice that you rb my lil ramblings and it makes me happy to have u around…

i<3villains and cannot be fazed by fictional morality discourse. you tell me a characters reprehensible actions with the intent of getting me to drop them and it just makes them even more present in my brain. literally of the like four things total we know about velvette, learning that her Love Potion ads in the background are for a roofie drug that is used on screen?? HER OWN BRAND OF ROOFIES?? made me go OHHH (*grinning wildly*) THAT IS BADD (*already writing a meta post*) THAT IS SOO BADD

because literally case in point abt her internalized misogyny! one of the few things we can confidently infer abt velvette is that if women are a class! velvette is a class traitor! and me being someone who’s fascinated by the topic of women’s role in upholding patriarchy and supporting movements that seem to so clearly want the worst for them (everyone should watch every video shanspeare’s ever made btw) that as a character trait is so so compelling to me and i will not spend my time on this earth being coy abt it on tumblr of all places

velvette will join the coalition exclusively for womens month and do loads of #girlboss #girlpower PR while contribuiting nothing and talking shit about the other women behind their backs<333 but i as a vel fan will be there all year wholeheartedly o777

The REAL Faces of Black Conservatism - FD Signifier

[awfulmidis]

Twas the night before Halloween, when all through the studio Not a note was stirring, not even a banjo Until a moment where guitars and drums were ringing It was the Red Hot Chili Peppers, with Pat Finnerty singing A truce jam was heard throughout the room When all of a sudden when the lights went out, followed with a boom There lies Pat Finnerty, laying down with his Soul Squire Natural causes? Rick Rubin hypothesized gunfire With only the band and the FD remaining on their Instagram feed The watchers must question if one of them is the killer indeed

As a very rushed halloween thing here's a mystery for you to solve, Use you midi investagive tools to figure out who shot the Pat. A raw midi is provided here, for you to download and find out who is the killer??? Who knows...there MAY be a prize tomorrow :)

i don’t think most sefikuras are very toxic. the hate is from LTD debate shippers and some people were fighting after the big sefikura acc on twt was hating on sephgen/ever crisis but as far as i know, this opinion is pretty rare? most of sfkr shippers don’t care about other ships with sephiroth. and most people know the majority sefikuras aren’t shipping child cloud and sephiroth. the hate is just from a loud minority and sefikuras haven’t done much to stir it up.

I 100% agree with you Nonny. I just wanna add my 2-cent on your point. Being a BL shipper doesn't mean you're immune to toxicity in fd interactions, be it from yourself or others.

I think it's a blessing that it's true, most of the SCs will not care about what other shippers say or do, unless sb shit talk Cloud or Sephiroth or slander our hobby in our spaces/tags.

There are a lot of different types of SCs too: strict top/bot; only shippers; SCs who are okay with switch; SCs who multiship... but we rarely see squabbles among us because we know the etiquette. Block and curate the things we don't wanna see.

Altho I ~think~ I have an idea of who you are talking about; I were moots with them on X until recently and decided to unfollow due to miscommunication and different povs; I haven't seen the fighting that came out from their SG hate post. I saw their posts at the time when SG wallpaper was out. For me, I also ship ASGZC so SG is another spice for me. I don't mind seeing it and I appreciate any appreciation it gets.

When I saw them posting hate on SG, I didn't agree with it but decided to not address it in public because I was still moot with them atp and I didn't wanna make a fuss. SG at the end of the day is a rare pair. It's not like SCs are starving for content. I also don't like how rash they were since their hate post can be weaponized by haters to diss on SC and its shippers. But yea such opinion is theirs alone so they're a pretty isolated case. Most I know just wouldn't bat an eye, or the multishippers would love it.

I do understand tho, that some SC antis wanna use SG ship to diss on SC. I saw those accounts I blocked celebrating a more toxic ship than SC then turn around and call SC toxic. It's funny, because if SG is as big as SC, they would probably hate it too. They're hypocrites who don't even contribute to SG ship to begin with, while SC multishippers were ones of the first people to make fanworks for SG in the first place.

As for shipping child Cloud or Sephiroth with the adult version of the other one, I think it's not that big of a deal. Sefikura is a toxic ship and toxic can encompass anything problematic, regardless of them being children or adults. Cloud murdered Sephiroth when he was a minor (under irl western standards, some other countries may differ), but is it more sinful for adult Sephiroth to talk to or interact with minor Cloud? Cloud was a minor but also a trained killer in an army. Then it goes back to the "violence better than sex" debacle. It's ridiculous.

We have to keep in mind that they're not real humans with flesh and blood and feelings. They are products of fiction for our entertainment and not equal to us as living beings. Treating characters like real people, or human children, who can be subjected to real crimes against them is a disservice to real victims out there.

(The following is my own take on the Pilgrim story, I recommend you read the canon comic before reading this. TW for Graphic Depictions of Blood/Gore)

(Context on FDS)

FDS Side Story:

Arrival of the Pilgrim (Part 1)

The waves flowed with a hint of harshness amongst the passage. What washed up on the beach was a hooded being, barely awake and crawling out of the water. She rubbed her eyes and looked around. What would usually be a calm, lovely beach with a bustling market was instead markets closing up shop and people being in utter panic and confusion. What was happening? Why is everyone so worried? Maybe that weird looking moon had something to do with it…

“Hello!”

“Eek!!”

“Are you alright? I was about to leave until I saw you get all washed up here!”

“U-Uhm, I…guess I’m fine. I’m trying to look for someone. Huh…?”

She checked herself, and upon finding nothing, she was panicking horribly.

“Nonono! Where is it?! Where did my letter go?!”

Her question was soon answered when a soaked letter washed up. Crumbled up and limp.

“NO! How am I supposed to find it now?!”

“Hey, hey, easy! I’m sure it can be saved!”

The skunk attempted to pick up the letter, but it tore even at the lightest pull.

“…Or maybe not. Uhh, sorry about that. But hey, I’m not sure what you’re looking for but I promise to help you find it!”

“You sure?”

“Mhm! I can tell you all about this place!”

She held out her hand for the pilgrim, who hesitated, but the skunk seemed welcoming and helpful, even if a little reckless. She softly smiled and took it, allowing Rinor to help her up. The duo moved to exit the Pilgrim’s Passage and into…

DARKWOOD

“Hey, I forgot to ask, what’s your name?”

“It’s Jalala.”

“I’m Rinor. Pleased to meet you! What brings you here?”

“I was told to come here by someone…”

“Really? Surprised it was this place. Ah, anyways, this is the Lands of the Old Faith. It was once ruled by four bishops, but they disappeared! I’ve heard rumors about them both being alive or dead, but it’s safe to say that they’re not ruling anymore. Apparently, they were taken down by the beast.”

“The what…?”

“They say that it’s all powerful, with sharp horns and glowing red eyes. Those who encounter the beast are never heard from again….or so I’ve heard. Chances are, there’s no beast! Still, best keep an eye out for it or any maniac here.”

That didn’t really reassure Jalala. Hearing that these lands were now lawless and potential beasts and maniacs lurking made her feel uneasy. It didn’t help that the weird flora leaked nectar resembling blood along with eyes staring at her.

“T-these forests, they’re really creepy…”

“If you’re talking about the weird eye flowers and spikes, yeah, they are. They weren’t always in these forests, even when one of the bishops ruled here. I assure you, they’re harmless! Just a little….creepy.”

“I-I think little is an understatement. Listen, I’m not sure if it’s even safe for us to be here! I’m hearing about monsters, killers, and forests changing out of the blue! How do,you even live with this??”

Rinor shrugged.

“I guess I’m just used to it. Lived here my whole life. I understand, it’s weird. Even I’m weirded out by the change here, but I know where we can rest. An area untouched, perfect for us to settle in. So trust me when I say that we’ll be fine!”

As Rinor stated that, a massive worm slithered out and into Jalala’s view, towering the two of them and looked at Rinor emptily. It was hard to say what it was, but given the low, coarse whispers and the drool from its mouth, the worm was hungry. Acting fast, Jalala pushed Rinor out of the way just as the worm dived in to attack. Running as fast as her legs could allow as she heard a hungered roar.

“What the hell was that?!”

“Maybe trying to survive is a bit more important than asking questions!”

“It was rhetorical! …Kind of!”

They exchanged words as Jalala tried to drive the worm away, eventually taking a sharp right and sliding into some leaves. Before she and Rinor could even say anything else…

“What are you two doing here??”

Two Old Faith cultists emerged from the bushes, upon seeing them, Rinor leapt out of Jalala’s arms and stood in front of her.

“Hey! Back off! You drop your weapons and no one gets hurt!”

“Hurt? What are you? Insane?? You expect us to look at this place and lower our weapo-“

The voice of the second cultist was cut off when the worm charged down and bit down the two cultists, scaring the two to flee the place. After the worm devoured its meal, it set its sight on the fleeing duo. Jalala took charge, holding Rinor’s hand while running.

“You’re strong…”

“You’re trying to help me, I’m trying to help you! Neither of us know what’s going on, but that doesn’t mean we can’t work through it together!”

“Speaking of, move to your right!”

Jalala did and barely avoided a slash from a mysterious cloaked being with a void black circle in the center of a decorated ring for a head.

“What was that!?”

“Did you mean that rhetorically or literally? Because if it’s the latter, that’s what I want to know!! That thing looked like it wasn’t even from here!”

“Maybe it’s because it isn’t! W-watch out for the corpses!”

Rinor barely avoided tripping over a dismembered leg. In fact, there were slaughtered Old Faith cultists everywhere. Blood soaked the grass as the angelic singing of the mysterious creatures pierced the two’s ears. The two made haste, unsure of how to divert the attention of their pursuers.

“Hey! Can you see anything we could throw!? Like rocks or branches??”

“Over there!”

To their luck, the two found a small, dying tree. Rinor tore off one of the branches and used the blood on the ground to cover it in.

“Only one way to find out if this will work, FETCH!”

She tossed the branch at the worm, getting its attention as it landed on another blood puddle. The worm, distracted by its hunger, roared and charged to the stick, running over a few of the creatures in the process.

“Heh, gotcha-!”

Jalala covered Rinor’s mouth and guided her away from the scene, uncovering it once the two got a decent distance away from them.

“Good thinking on the stick, Rinor! We lost them. Now, where else to go…”

“How about the path with less of those eye flowers? That has to be a way out of here!”

“Oh! Good thinking!”

So the two would head into the pathway that wasn’t greeted with eye flowers. The creepy flora was still present, but it lessened and lessened as they traveled further. They felt relieved that they were greeted with normal flowers, plain leaves, and a gentle breeze. How long this relief would last was a question they couldn’t answer, but any relief was good for them. Yet little do they know that their story was just beginning.

To Be Continued…

Sony PlayStation - Castlevania Chronicle Akumajo Dracula (Castlevania Chronicles)

Title: Castlevania Chronicle Akumajo Dracula / ��魔城年代記 悪魔城ドラ��ュラ

Developer/Publisher: Konami Computer Entertainment Tokyo

Release date: 25 May 2001

Catalogue No.: VX236-J1 / SLPM-86754

Genre: Action

This game is basically a home console port of the Sharp X68000 entry in the Castlevania series. The plot of Castlevania Chronicle is similar to that of the first Castlevania: at the end of the 17th century, the dreadful vampire Dracula is resurrected after a century of slumber. The people in Transylvania flee in horror, but the brave Simon Belmont takes his Vampire Killer whip and ventures into the ominous castle to put an end to the Lord of Darkness. This is the exact same plot as found in the Sharp X68000 original.

When it comes to graphics, I feel I must be honest. These graphics are fairly average, especially for a game released on a platform supposedly capable of arcade-quality graphics, and in 1993 no less. I would say Simon and other sprites, backgrounds, etc. are probably about the same quality as Castlevania Bloodlines. Not bad, but one must always consider the hardware when reviewing. Many arcade ports were lacking on the X68000, but certainly closer to arcade graphics than this version of Castlevania, which looks like an early Mega Drive effort. Think Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle.

Aside from that rant, the familiar-looking Castlevania stages have all been redone, and look definitely better detail-wise, compared to the FDS and Famicom original that kickstarted the series, so at least we can acknowledge them as upgrades. Simon's sprite is certainly different looking as well and it is nice to see the slight redrawn changes of Dracula, Death, and other famous bosses and enemies. The crystal man in Stage 4 sucks ass though. I don't care for his appearance at all, it seems so out of place!

On the bright side, there are many classic Castlevania tunes redone for this release, which include Bloody Tears, Vampire Killer, and Simon's Theme. Exclusive pieces (due to the stages not being present in the MSX, NES, or myriad other versions of the original Castlevania) include Tower of Dolls and Etude for the Killer, both solid compositions that earn their place among CV music. Lastly, Dracula's boss music, while it can't touch Super Castlevania IV (aka Akumajo Dracula on the Super Famicom), is awesome simply because of its name: You Goddamned Bathead! Classic! The gameplay has several changes from the original versions of Castlevania. Simon can whip diagonally down left or right while jumping. He is also able to slightly correct his jumps in mid-air, saving you some unnecessary deaths. We also have a new subweapon that helps to conquer the notorious difficulty of this remake. This is a laurel/herb and for 10 hearts, you can refill 6 life bars. A very helpful and neat idea, proving that the game is not without rules.

The challenge is merciless; this is the hardest traditional Castlevania there is, mostly due to the huge amount of damage that enemies take off with each hit. In the early stages, it is only 2 or so bars. In the later stages, every single attack does 4 bars, causing Simon to die in only 5 hits. This coupled with the still limited dodging and mobility of Simon makes having the aforementioned laurel seem like a necessity if you want to beat this game without a great deal of frustration. The laurel certainly helped me to do as such.

Now you might say that this was the case in the FDS and Famicom Castlevania too. Still, this is an ultimately harder game because of the new enemies and stages. Many more enemies have projectiles that they use to hit you from far away. The dolls in Area 7 are especially annoying, all this adds up to a deeper and greater challenge. Replay value for this specific game is no more significant than the original. There is the added challenge of new enemies and greater incurred damage for each subsequent playthrough, but that cannot be defined as a true incentive to replay as the stages and bosses are identical. The only real difference is that enemies hit harder and that there are more of them.

In conclusion, Castlevania X68000 was mostly unknown at the time of its release, and in playing this, I'm glad it has received greater availability on the PlayStation. There are minor differences in the PS1 version mostly involving the internal system clock option affecting certain stages and graphics, nothing to really write home about.

I try to look at this remake in the context of a Japan-only release or the 1993 release year, but neither bit of reflection gives this product much reason to exist, especially as a far superior remake of Castlevania had already been made in Akumajo Dracula on the Super Famicom. That remake was on a far superior and more accessible system. Perhaps this X68000 version was nothing more than an attempt to sell the Sharp computer (which was sold at super expensive prices with prices starting from US$3,500 for the base configuration) by putting respected franchises on it, similar to the Mario and Zelda games on the Phillips CDi, and we all know how bad those games turned out. Castlevania X68000 is not as bad as those games, it is at least playable, but it feels like an unclear project. Given the PC's limited user base, who was this game meant to appeal to? It is worth a playthrough on the PlayStation version, but I can't fathom the complete sense that would make a gamer hardcore enough to buy the Sharp PC just to play this fairly mediocre remake of the original Castlevania. The limited new features of this version just don't do enough for me.

However, all this pales in comparison to the fact Konami actually added an Arrange Mode to the PlayStation port. Castlevania Chronicle's arrange mode is all about the little changes that may not be initially apparent. It really feels like it was made for the fans, as these are the groups likely to enjoy the changes the most. These are both obvious with the complete musical overhaul and subtle with the slight graphical changes. I think the best way to express my approval is to say that the Arrange Mode not only makes the Sharp X68000 version better, but it also makes it more acceptable as part of the Castlevania series.

Dreamswap Killer (Shank) for the night

Plot Bunny: FD: Criminal Minds, LI: Poly Morgan/Garcia ship

Absolutely for sure

Harlan Fawkes (Derek Morgan and Penelope Garcia ship)

Agent Harlan Fawkes used to work in the BAU, but ever since a serial killer they were profiling killed his brother, he couldn't handle it anymore. It was too close to him, too close to him, and he didn't want to put anyone else in his life in danger. In fact, he left the FBI entirely. He became a personal trainer, occasionally a consultant for his local police on the side, and tried his best to move on with his life. But then there's killings in his town, killings that are reminiscent of his brother's killer, and he knows he can't be the one to consult, so he has them call the BAU. He just wasn't really expecting Aaron to drag him in on it anyways, or that he'd grow closer to some of the members that he didn't really know during his time there.

Send me a fandom / love interest / faceclaim (one or all of those) and I’ll make a plot bunny

And so I decided to draw Jeff from Creepypasta, or even his fanon version. I haven’t figured this out for a long time, because I spent most of my time in this FD because of the cool comics at the time. So I decided to draw one of the favorite characters of many fans. Namely Jeff the killer, well, I tried and tried to convey the atmosphere of a foggy forest. But I rarely draw something like this, so it seems to me that I didn’t get to what I imagined. But it’s okay, next time I’ll succeed, I just need to draw something like this more often, I think)

[ambdgyt]

So I already have some ideas in my head for how OOTF is going to go so here's some songs I plan to use for it and where :] (most of these aren't in order except for the prequel)

So the first 3 are for the vs FD fight at the start of the series. The plan plays before the fight and its basicly where Bam and the Boss are figuring out how they should go about fighting FD without hurting/killing preston in the process, world's end valentine(orchestra) is the bosses theme for the fight, and the attack of the killer queen remix is preston vs fd or Preston's last Stand where he needs to cut the strings of fd attached to him :]

The shara x AOTKQ remix is for the V2 fight (where preston and rosey beat his ass)

The last 2 are both themes for Jiv battles (there's a reason his themes are both Chara related hehe)

The first one is obvious, it's datchias theme and since her theme includes megalo strike back which is Jivs theme, they're fighting Jiv.

The 2 it means everything remixes are themes for Kim which will make more since later

Ye that's what I have for now :] (I need to find / make a theme for some other fights this is not all just what I have rn) :]

D/W performances of Scheherazade 2013-14

US Classic was broadcast and had commentators, can you imagine. this is killer music and great choreo

the lifts are all dramatic on high points in the music - Scheherazade the music has so many highlights that Marina used to advantage to score the elements - D/W aren't totally on the music yet, but it still works. one of the later commentators says they had the curve lift for 3 years - not sure if that means they saved it or worked on it, but that entry is pretty striking

they skate and express in broader strokes than VM, especially compared to Seasons, which is very intricate and refined. Scheherazade works so well because it has big punches of musical color and builds in drama - as a program it's more approachable. Charlie seems pretty musical - he's definitely hearing in detail. i find them kind of unbalanced as a team despite their unison. but you have to give them credit for consistency. they didn't make a major mistake all season in this program

Scheherazade is a 45 minute work - this music cut is excellent. cutting a long classical piece down to fit a skating program can sound choppy or awkward, but not this. VM scored a world record at GPF, and DW broke it right after. they changed the end pose for this competition but otherwise there was very little tinkering all season

the debut of the purple dress

Sochi team event - the build in the music helps so much in pulling the audience in and ending on that high note

i did love watching this live - in the US there was a lot of hype around them as potential gold medalists. watching all 7 performances of this FD, i have to wonder what Marina was thinking - she had to know this program was a winner - it's like the FD equivalent of the perfect pop song. so to give VM Seasons - it's not the same. i don't know if another team could have made sense of Seasons, let alone made it so beautiful. it's difficult, and the music is not easy to connect with - she hobbled them a little bit with this choice

[three-bunnies-in-a-trenchcoat]

Results are in, and Sky and Time won! They will now be suffering!

also how much control should I be giving yall. like if I let yall decide too much it'll spoil it but if it's not enough it's not really decided by you
