Having a lot of people fighting for a throne is not what ASOIAF is all about. It's one lf it's many aspects and it's the aspect writers tried to focus on. I, personally, don't like it much. When i first watch the show i didn't like it, because the main focus wasn't interesting enough for me to deal with al the gratuituos nudity and violence. However, for some people political drama is deeply entertaining. Even for some people who have read the books, the political aspect is what they like the most. There's actually a debate among fanatsy readers about how the transition from a very political filled series can go to full high fantasy without loosing it's appeal, because a lot of series that follow asoiaf footsteps dissapoints readers the moment the overall greyness of the political setting looses focus in favor of the magic and the great evil.

I am a Dany fan and i like book!Dany better though i also liked show!Dany. And if D&D were not mysoginists and inconsistent writers that turned that into a sign of entitlement for her and her alone i would have been glad they made her more assure of herself given the cast had to be a grown up woman. Dany in the show still stops her journey to the throne to free slaves so in the show universe Dany is still the best candidate to rule for the people. The show takes away from Dany the azor ahai foreshadow and gives it to Jon. Do i like this? No. Is it bad writing? It's definetely less original and far more patriarchal but it's not terrible on it's own. I would have been ok with Jon being TPTWP in the show, since that was the choice of writing for 7 seasons. It's not GOOD but it's OK. The same way if the NLOG had been given an arc where show Arya learned other girls are cool too would just have been OK. The theme about the smallfolk receiving the bad part is present in other character's arcs and moments too. So do I like this change? No. Is it bad writing? Maybe. Affects on it's own to the themes? No. The smallfolk theme is still very present in early seasons. In Arya's season arc too. As someone from the smallfolk now she's got to be careful in a way she didn't need before. Hell, Daenerys season 2 arc was bad but i would still say the worse part in season 2 is the worse part of book 2: what a terrible rythm, a slug! I almost dropped the book series there.

The magic part was done atrociously bad. That's true. But i would say it's decent in the early seasons, given that the magic is low in the books as well and they had little budget. But i feel like they wanted less magic and a lot of viewers wanted less magic. And i think that's normal, in terms of the "what's gonna happen appeal". I mean the white walkers being defeated is something everybody knows it's gonna happen. Who was gonna be in power was a mistery. Also, the debate among fantasy readers cited above.

What i'm saying is they did fine as "adaptators" for the first 3 seasons. Understanding "fine adaptation" as " yeah it generally follows the book and the final product is decent enough" way. I insist, i don't particularly like the show, not even early seasons, but i understand adaptations come with a filter, sometimes several ones. The writer's filter, the producers filter, the actors filter..an adaptation can't match a book on it's entirety because it's always an interpretation of the original material by other people who's not the author and is not our own.

In conclusion, i don't think D&D are good at adaptations, i'm saying the first seasons were fine as adaptations go. And some people really liked them. It wouldn't have been as popular if a lot of people didn't like it. So i understand some people are pissed when others do not value the early seasons that made them like it in the first place, and i have to give it to them, comparing the writing quality of the early seasons to the last ones is unfair.

How do you people who are on reddit, keep your blood pressure from rising. Stupid thread defending stupid writers, almost worshipping the choice of putting Tywin at Harrenhal as peak TV, "chaos is a ladder" is apparently not a sign of hack writing. Look, look at this shit down below. I hate, absolutely hate those neutral readers and dudebros who are in the fandom.

I will forever standby my observation that most fans ( both of books and of show) wouldn't have minded the adaptation, had Jon and Dany been given their dues. And this isn't me bitching about these two characters, not at all, but this fandom always had the propensity to shoo away nuance and to reduce many of the other characters ( yes I am talking about my fave) to mere tropes, rather than to sit and reflect. Which is why the show didn't get called stupid this resoundingly before season 8. Had it ended the way it was predicted to be, the influence of the show would have been carried on into book discussions even by those who are, as of now, hardcore show antis ( before season 8, I had heard things like "yeah well even though Arya is one of the big fives, she isn't really the main character of the series, why would the details matter" :) )

This is the reason why there are still polls where Jaqen and Sandor are given more importance than Ned or Jon in Arya's storyline.

3 gulity pleasure/comfort movies to watch

I finally decided to give a public shout ot to my three gulity pleasure movies that you should definitly give a try if you do love character focused storytelling.

Disclaimer: the criteria that were important for me here is that the storytelling is consistent, no major plotholes, likable characters, a good aesthetic and good cinematography. They do not have to be “Good” in the classic way but “enjoyable”

1. Dracula Untold

The movie a made up Dracula origin story with Luke Evans in main role. The turkish people attack his kingdom Transylvania so he makes a deal with a vampire. He gets the power of a vampire for three days and if he manages not to drink the blood of a human being in this three days he get turned into a human again. If not he becomes a vampire himself.

So far, so simple. The story is not super deep but as you can already tell by the poster the aesthetic of this movie is on point. They work a lot with the black/white/red aesthetic, espcially when it comes to Draculas wife (The movie has so many beautiful scenes, I am a sucker for it). Which is another good thing about the movie. While the straight marriage Dracula has in this movie is not super deep or meaningful, it is still not written agressive straight but actually lovable and wholesome to watch...

And the movie involves vampires and a gay actor so of course it is gay on a subtextual level. Seriously, Luke Evans letting another man suck his blood changed me forever.

Also the whole inner conflict of a man who doesn’t want to be a monster and does everything to suppress it but has to unleash the monster to safe the people he loves gets me everytime. Its about the suffer! Also Dracula is absolutley loavble in the movie. You just want to protect him... and you also want to see him suffer in every way possible.

It is not a horror movie but a dark fanatsy movie with some slightly gory scene but also here they focus more on the aesthetic then the gore so it is easy to watch. (In germany people from 12 years onwards are allowed to watch it. I would say 14 years onwards).

Also Christianity is not really used/shown in the movie. I am glad about that because this is something that can be really annyoing and triggering for some people and ruin their fun. But here are just some monks who say a prayer, thats basically it

Oh and some background knowledge about Dracula can absolutely improve your fun because he has his own Renfield and his bridges.

The ending is unexpected and super wholesome. And with 90 minutes run time you can easily watch it. So definitly give it a try if you a sucker for aestheticly pleasing movies, a monster fucker, a queer vampire lover or if you just love seeing beautiful man suffer for 90 minutes straight.

The only downside is that he has no wings, like teased on the poster so do not get your hopes up. And there is a really weird CGI scene.

2. King Arthur - Legend of Sword

Yeah, I know what you are now thinking “She is out of her mind!”/”Why are all the movies white male lead?!” but please let me explain

*Heavy breath*. This movie is an origin story (You already notice I like those, because you can put so much bonkers ideas into made up origin stories) for King Arthur. It loosley follows the tale. When Arthur is a little boy his jelaous uncle kills Arthurs whole family. Only Arthur is able to escape in a boat. He is then raised by sex workers and lives a slightly criminal but normal life. His life changes when a magic sword stucked in a stone is found. As a result he has to fight against his uncle even though Arthur actually is not interested at all in becoming King himself

So... this adaptation is totally bonkers. I would never agrue about that. But this movie is still enjoyable. First at all, I am a slut for Guy Ritchties way of filming. You can already see it in Sherlock Holmes, how scenes are played forward and back again, how everything is moving when the character is telling a story or planing a heist. Here it is used in an extreme way. Not as much as in The Gentleman though where it was over-used imo. Here it is used in the right amount. It makes the story really fun and dynamic to watch. In general the movie has a dark aesthetic. But in contrast to Dracula Untold it is not dark from teh beginning but gets their over the course of the movie.

2. The soundtrack. Absoultly amazing! I remeber how the trailer was released and the people on YouTube tried to extract the music from the trailer immediately. It is absolutly on point

3. The magic. The movie has a lot of fanatsy elements with witches who can “borrow” animals and use their bodies to attack other people. We have Merlin of course, who is again criminally underused. Spritis of the wood, Spritis of the water and a really dreamish guest world??? Which gets never explained but hey, thats not what we are here for anyway

4. The characters are absolutly lovable. We also have the actor of little finger from GOT and he kinda plays the same role here. The movie has the obligatory female love interest ... who never gets turned into a love interest. Big yeah! Arthur hits on her one time, she refuses, and the rest of the movie we never have to deal with a forced heterosexual relationship ever again. And the sex workers are shown as real lovable human beings. As mother figures and sisters, which again is a big yay! And the movie has Jude Law… who sadly got a horrible written role but he still plays it really well

Only the finale fight is a huge let down. But it is still a fun to watch movie which always give you something to smile about. Not a depressing movie. And yeah... we all just ignore the criminal modern hair cuts and style of the main character, okay?

3. Vampire Academy 2014

Yeah, again a vampire movie, what Can I say? I am queer. If PoTC wasn’t my bisexual awakening this movie definitly was it

First at all, please do not let you fool by the promo images, they are horrible and do not capture the spirit of the movie at all. But in a way they also do... its compliacted

This movie is told from the POV of Rose a half-vampire who is the protector of her best friend, Lissa, a born royal vampire. The movie is about Lissa and Rose who escaped from their vampire high school but are brought back after one year and are quickly confronted with royal conspiracies among the students, a big mystery and Lissa who has a really special ability (yeah there is magic involved) and of course the drama of high school love.

I know some fans who say that the movie is making fun of the book Vampire Academy is based on but seriously? I don’t think so. Vampire Academy (the movie) was released during the twilight hype but didn’t wanted to be confused with twilight. So the writers haven chosen a completly different route. Instead of being all romantic and taking itself too seriously it is really really funny. You do not cringe the whole time like I do when I watch Twilight (love the books).

Rose is a strong fighter who always has a punchline (not annyoing btw), Lissa who is all girly and princess and the older love interest Dimitri who is excatly capturing the spirit of the older boy we all had a crush on once. Hot, sexy and completly out of reach. You can already see the clichés but the movie is aware of those cliché and kinda turns it around, give the character a human side every viewer can connect to

There are a lot of training scenes with Rose and Dimitri which are a joy for every bisexual to watch. Natalie - a side chatacter - is the school nerd but instead of being potrayed as annyoing she is super loveable and human. Lissa is sure all princess, but you only want to protect her when you see her suffering.

The movie sure has a low budget, so there is no true aesthetic or stunning cinematography, it is just straight up an enjoyable movie.

And I think the more humoristic approach is why the movie is working so well. Why I am cringing when movie!Edward asks Bella: “You know what I am. Say it” but why I get weak knees when Dimitri calls Rose “Roza”

Vampire Academy truely said: “Those are sexy vampire who go to proms and do unrealstic stuff but in the end they are just humans, let us focus on that”. You know this movies were actors try to appear royal and cool and mysterious and it is just so uncomfrtable to watch and the whole time you are just begging the movie to stop? VV is excatly NOT doing this

I think the reason why this movie flopped so hard was because it completly changed the tone of the book, it was still confused with twilight and didn’t really fit into any category, because it is also not a parody. I do not knw if the world was and will ever be ready for this movie.

So if you want teenage high school drama movie which is funny, has amazing chemistry among the cast, who is full of clichés but also gets rid of them right away, if you love vampires and women with swords.. watch that movie

This not-so-little story is based around Final Fanatsy VII, specifically the remake of the game. Since the character in this story didn’t have much to say or do in the original game and they fleshed her out more in the remake, i chose to go with that. I took some liberties with the time that goes by in the story and I used some of the game’s dialogue for some parts of the story. 

This is the longest kink-related thing I have ever written. Not sure if it is good and this long-format stories will probably not become a thing around here, but I still hope you enjoy it a ton!

Shoutout to @widestwaistlines​ and @corpulentcarbs​ since they’re the ones that inspired me to write this whole thing.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A couple of months ago, you were hired by an eco-terrorist group known as Avalanche for a one-time deal. As a mercenary it was your job to do as they said. Whatever issue they had against Shinra or whatever self-righteous mission they were on to save the Earth, you didn’t care. They had filled your pockets with gil for assisting them in blowing up that mako reactor. That was all that mattered. And you certainly didn’t care about any of the members in that band of misfits. First, there was their reckless leader, Barret Wallace, a passionate and aggressive man who’d put he’s life in the line for his ridiculous cause. Next, there was Biggs. Unlike Barret, he was a calmer and more rational individual, but he tried too hard to appear cool and collected, and his playfulness could be annoying at times. Then, there was Wedge. The corpulent lad didn’t contribute much to the team and his timid attitude made him insufferable at times. Finally, there was the worst of them all: Jessie Rasberry.

Jessie was the only female in the group. Her excessively upbeat personality and her fearless nature constantly got her in the way of danger. She had an unmatched ability to get herself trapped under rubble. You must have saved her life at least five times just during that one mission. But what bothered you the most were her attempts to flirt with you. For many, it would have been a no brainer to fall for the slender and spunky girl. Jessie must have been around your age, and it was impossible to deny that her gleamy, brown eyes, her long hair which was neatly tied in a ponytail and her ever-present smile didn’t give her an air of cuteness. However, she lacked any subtlety, and she couldn’t take a hint. You could tell the brunette had her eyes on you since the moment you got off that train. She even tried to get you back for the next bombing mission. But no matter how hard you tried to focus on the job or how rudely you ignored her coquettish comments, she wouldn’t stop making teasing advances towards you. It was irritating! So… Why was it that you couldn’t get her off your mind? More importantly, why was is it that you wished to see her again?

Luckily for you, it wouldn’t be long before your wish became true. After being assaulted by some pesky ruffians who wanted you to spill the beans about Barret’s and the rest of Avalanche’s whereabouts, you decided to head back to your apartment in order to get some shut-eye. To your surprise, someone was already waiting outside for you.

“Welcome home, honey! Took your…urp…sweet time.” It was Jessie!  

“Psych! Are you gonna let me in so we can talk in…bwooorp…nnff…private?”

Was she seriously recurring to stalking you just so she could have another chance at flirting? Still, you let her in. For some reason, there seemed to be something off about her.

Now that you were inside, in the privacy of your home, you could get a better look at your guest, and the thing that was ‘off’ about her suddenly hit you… 

Jessie had gained weight. A lot of weight. At least for what was considered reasonable in a matter of months. Sweat covered what little space could be seen of her brow, the rest dripping and pooling under her red headband. Her face looked rounder, giving her an adorable look that was only accentuated every time her smile showed, emphasizing the acquired puffiness of her cheeks, and revealing hints of a developing second chin whenever she opened her mouth to speak or when she lowered her neck a tad. Broader shoulder pushed the metallic plates that covered them apart, and jigglier arms strained her sleeves, the poor garment pinching their wobbly circumference in order to stay alive. There was no way her breastplate hadn’t been resized. The previous one would have never been able to hold the two cantaloupes that hung from her chest. If it weren’t for it, her breasts would probably be drooping lightly and resting atop her gut. Speaking of said belly, the flabby outline of her midsection could barely be contained, overstretching the black shirt and blue undershirt she regularly wore to their limits, also threatening to pop her belt any second now. The rest of her lower body didn’t fall behind either. Much wider hips were fighting for space inside her green capris, overflowing them and pancaking against her thick love handles, forcing the member of Avalanche to go without her leather holster. Tremendously thick thighs constantly rubbed over each other, with chunky calves smooshed between armored boots and the hems of her pants, only helping to continue showing how desperately Jessie needed a new pair of them. To top it all off, there was her rear. You only saw glimpses of it, but you could clearly tell the two gelatinous orbs were pressed against each other under the skin-tight capris, subtly bouncing from side to side with every motion she made and every belch she let out between words.

Apparently, the Midgardian wasn’t stalking you. She had visited you in order to request your help for a special task. Jessie had been blaming herself for the size of the reactor’s explosion all this time, and she needed you to help her rob her own house in order to get an ID that would let her acquire a weaker blasting agent for the next raid. You were leaving to the Sector 7 Plate at night. All in exchange for one Ifrit Materia. Without a second thought, you were in.

Nighttime arrived quickly. Just as you were about to take the train, Biggs and Wedge appeared with two motorbikes. Somehow, they had figured out Jessie’s plans, so they decided to offer their aid and a method of transportation that would help you stay hidden. Maybe the two guys weren’t so bad after all.

The instant Jessie got onto the ride, the vehicle creaked, lowering itself towards its wheels. Maybe letting the struggling motorbike hold both of your combined weights wasn’t a good idea, but you had no choice left. If this was an indicator for the rest of the night, then things wouldn’t sail so smoothly for you... and, shortly after, you were proven right. Along your ride, a failed ID check sent your way a bunch of Shinra henchmen and a lousy SOLDIER named Roche in order to catch you, but they would meet your Buster Sword and they would be no match for it. After your victory, Jessie was beyond ecstatic.

“You passed the test!”.  

“What test?”

“Driving.”

“Been driving for years”

“So, you…buuurrp…don’t need a reward?”

“No.”

Before you knew it, the heavy gal leaned onto you and pressed her plump lips on your cheek, delivering an unexpected peck on it. The moment her lips parted from your face, a loud belch escaped her mouth. Right. On. Your. Ear. Jessie giggled and wrapped her meaty arms around your waist, pudgy hands holding you tight, bulky belly and bulbous bust squished against your back, all while you couldn’t stop your cheeks from flushing with a dark shade of red. She was so soft… so warm. Maybe you were proven wrong. The night was going much better than you would have ever imagined.

After that little escapade, you got a hold of the required ID with ease, snuck into the Shinra warehouse with no problem, found the weaker compound in no time, and escaped safely. You even learned about Jessie’s past as an aspiring actress at Gold Saucer, her father’s accident and current condition, and her mother’s ‘Midgar Special’ dinner. Nevertheless, your little adventure wasn’t over just yet. 

Before going back home, Jessie had asked you to visit her in order to ‘pay you in full’. Adequately, she rewarded you with another orb of Materia and with another unforeseen surprise: A heavy hug, with her flab-coated arms firmly placed around your shoulder, and a proposal for a date tomorrow. Embarrassed, you tried to play it cool by calling her ‘desperate’ and telling her you wouldn’t promise to be there, but the heavyset woman could read you like an open book and she understood what you really meant in no time.

“Really? You will? I make a…uuraaap…mean pizza, I’ll have you know!” Well, that definitely explained some of her extra weight.

“You just leave everything to me. It’ll be great!”

With that said, she headed back into her home, only to reopen the door seconds later.

“Psych!”

Winking and sticking her tongue at you, the hefty girl headed inside for real that time.

In the following days you would find yourself so busy you wouldn’t be able to go on the arranged pizza date, yet you would also become much closer to Jessie and the rest of Avalanche. Together, you fought off some Whispers, infiltrated another reactor, defeated a war machine, and foiled Shinra’s plans to destroy Sector 7. But not everyone made it in one piece… In the course of the battle to protect Sector 7, Jessie had been badly injured to the point of almost dying. You couldn’t help but feel guilty for the attack and for Jessie’s current condition. Yes, she had solidified her state as ‘out of shape’ a few hundred pounds ago, but your actions had put her at way more risk than her fearless attitude or fat frame could ever do. In order to keep her safe, you had to stay away from her and put an end to Shinra. And that´s exactly what you did…

Many months would go by before you gathered enough courage to do what was needed. You felt more anxious than you ever had, but you decided the right time to make amends and apologize to Jessie for vanishing and not visiting once throughout her recovery process had arrived. Nervously, you knocked her door, waiting for what must have felt like an eternity for a reply. Eventually…

“You…huff…kept me waiting…haah…for too long...nnff…honey…Come in.”

The once svelte and graceful person you knew as Jessie Rasberry was gone, replaced by a ridiculously obese version of herself. The only indication that it truly was the same woman was the recognizable smile that highlighted the roundness of her cheeks, the plumpness of her lips, and the thickness of her pair of chins. The few lumbering, arduous steps she had to take to answer the door left her almost breathless, the poor girl huffing and puffing along the short way in order to keep her composure. She was still wearing a larger version of her trademark outfit in a vain attempt to keep her decency and pride, the only major difference being that there was no belt to be seen, but even those bigger sizes had been effectively outgrown many, many pounds ago. 

Once inside, she led you to her room. Crumpled wrappers, piles of carboard boxes, and dozens of empty plastic bottles filling every single centimeter of the floor.  

“I know what you...oommph…haaah…were up to…and I forgive you…huff huff…Although...You’ll have to make it up to me…So why don’t you…uuuurrp…feed your prized piggy girl?”

Jessie grabbed a nearby plate toppled with a tower of pizza slices, she handed you one of the calorie-rich pieces, and opened her mouth, her tongue lolling out, eagerly waiting for the first bite of many to come. Inch by inch, you got closer to her grease-stained lips, cheese and sauce painting her chunky cheeks and dribbling down her chins onto her breastplate as she panted and gasped in delight. You dutifully fed the blobby Midgardian piece after piece, until only one was left, and right as you were about to deposit the final mouthful into her greedy gullet, a loud POP and a barely audible CLANK interrupted your task. Jessie’s pants had succumbed to the pressure that was building inside her gargantuan gut, annihilating the button and dragging her zipper all the way down. Jessie let out a pleased groan, staring at you with pleasure-fogged eyes while toying with the hem of her undershirt.

“Would yo-UUUUURP be a dear and… haaaah…help me off these useless clothes?”

Off went her armored boots and socks, revealing that no part of Jessie had been spared by the pounds, with tubby toes twice as thick as yours curling and wiggling with glee. Next, came the turn of the busted capris, sliding them off Jessie’s legs with no difficulties, exposing lard-laden calves and titanic thighs that rolled over each other, accompanied by hips vast enough to overtake the width of any doorframe or seat. The moment her lowest belly roll was set free, it flopped against her padded knees with a resounding slap that echoed through the entire room. With cumbersome steps, Jessie turned to give you a proper view of the full glory of her ass. Two pale, mountainous masses jutted outwards from her backside, their spherical shape slightly deformed by the effects of cellulite, each cheek capable of eclipsing the entirety of your body. Seconds later, the magnificent, couch-crushing globes continued clapping against each other, proudly swaying left to right, up and down.

Then, you removed her shoulder pads, her metal-plated gloves, and her constricting breastplate, ready to move on to her two shirts. You grabbed both garments by their hems and lifted them steadily, slowly letting loose the avalanche of creamy, dripping flesh that Jessie’s upper belly roll was, letting it hang over its pillowy twin. Her uncovered belly-button was a sweaty cavern and the ex-bio-terrorist playfully inserted a doughy digit into it while smiling at you. After that teasing gesture, you overcame your nerves, completely removing her shirts, tossing both undersized garments aside. Breasts bigger than your head were liberated, cascading over the cups of an ill-fitting bra. Raised and lowered with every heavy breath Jessie took, those massive mounds jiggled wildly, ripples spreading all around their globular surface, alarmingly daring to pop out of their lacy confinements at any moment. Buttery biceps smacked against her sides, wobbling uncontrollably, rolling over her flabby forearms, which were simultaneously spilling over pudgy wrists, softened palms, and fat fingers.

Jessie offered you a shy and sincere smile. Immediately, she grabbed you by the wrist, sprawling herself onto her bed, and pulling your thin frame atop her enormous one. The bedframe creaked and shrieked, your partner’s weight being enough to break it in half. Still holding your hand, she guided you to her belly. Now that the only things keeping Jessie’s humungous figure from being totally bare were her oceanic blue, barely-fitting bra and a pair of minuscule, black panties that had vanished between her astounding ass-cheeks ages ago, you were free to fully explore every inch of your lover’s body. 

Timidly, you squeezed one of her belly rolls, forcing a heady moan out of Jessie. It was the softest, warmest, and doughiest thing you had ever had the pleasure of grabbing. Squeezes quickly turned into a full-on massage, with you rubbing, pinching, kneading, and groping every roll you could find.

“My hero…So…UURRRP...So gentle…”

You grabbed the last slice of pizza and pushed it past Jessie’s oily lips, smearing cheesy-goodness all over her rotund face, letting some of it slide towards her colossal cleavage. 

With rosy cheeks and a goofy smile, Jessie craned her fat neck to properly look at you.

“You know wha-haaah-what? I think I wanna…BWOORRRP…lose the weight.”

Before you could react, Jessie winked at you and stuck her tongue out.

“Psy-UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRP-ch!!!”

AU where FF15 is good but FF7 is really bad

15 was so so close to being good and understanding what made VII/IX/whatever work. Like, they looked at it and went, “roadtrip friendships. Got it.” And then just threw in exactly that without actually writing any of the stuff that would normally go with a friendship or a road trip. 

Like, have you ever read a fic where five chapters in, a couple just kinda turns up? And not even one of the well-established couples, either – some off the wall shit where the characters don’t even know the other exists in canon. And the author just dumps this on you out of the blue, and then proceeds to act as though of course this pairing makes sense, and thus doesn’t explain a goddamn thing about what’s going on as they continue to exchange sweet nothings and pecks on the cheek as though nothing is out of the ordinary. You, not giving a rat’s ass about ships in general and having clicked on the fic in the first place for its premise, try not to let it concern you too much, but as the ship starts eating up more and more screentime, you start getting a little frustrated that you’re not being given anything to justify it. And I don’t mean justify as in “BUT IN EPISODE 30 IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT BUTTERCAT/SENTIENT COFFEE FILTER WAS CANON, EVERYONE KNOWS HE VIEWS CRABCAKE-KUN AS A SIBLING FIGURE” nonsense, I mean justify as in, since this relationship’s kind of whipped up wholecloth, how did these people meet? What drew them to one another? How did they realise they loved one another? (And no, “her smile lit up the whole room and they knew she was the one” does not fucking count.) The whole point of shipping with something like this is to explore all these what-if questions and actually getting to directly create this dynamic themselves. Why would you make the ship and then not do that? What are you even doing at this point? Just slapping two people together for the aesthetic? That could have been interesting, why are you avoiding what seems to be your own premise? Maybe I wanted to see what led up to all this, XxX_stephanie_ff_luvver38_XxX! Maybe I wanted the dirt on Buttercat/Empty Gum Wrapper-san and its development within the context of the story! Did you ever think of that? Huh? 

Final Fantasy XV is like this, but for an entire game. 

They go to the trouble of writing these four guys implied to have a lot of history with each other that led to them being as close as they are, but that’s just it – it’s only ever implied. It’s so much easier to just imply than it is to go through the trouble of having your protagonists meet, and grow fond of one another, and take the audience through an emotional arc with them as we see them change and grow with each other for the better, AKA all the good parts of seeing a cool friendship roadtrip. And it’s worse than it would be if it were just a fanfic, because if you have a well-established enough relationship, whether it was romantic or not, then at the very least there you can get away with not fleshing anything out, because whatever it’s Cloud and Zack, we know who they are and why they like each other, let’s fast-forward to the part where they’re making out. XV is an original property and everything that the audience is going to know about it is going to be in the game. You can’t fast-forward to the good part because there’s nothing to fast-forward from but a shitty-writing-because-this-game-was-in-development-for-over-a-decade-and-it-shows-shaped void. They sell their game on Friendship Roadtrip Back To The Basics, and then just skipped to the end result because they didn’t want to have to actually resolve any arcs that they started, because they couldn’t start any arcs, because aaaaa shit this game ships tomorrow and it’s already November and we’re two months overdue just push it out we’ll put the backstories in DLC they’ll never notice shhhhhh – and more importantly, because they’ve learned they don’t actually need to, because the fans are happy with basically whatever and have collectively switched off their quality relationship filters since they’re just gonna write fic filling in the blanks anyway. Just look at Crisis Core, or literally any Kingdom Hearts game after Chain of Memories. It has all the grand gestures and emotional beats of something important happening, with no actual payoff. Prompto’s “surprise I’m a clone now let’s never speak of this again” is the most egregious example of this, with Luna’s “romance” and Ignis going blind offscreen and being whatever about it being close contenders as well. All “ clever speshul plot bombshells”, no actual significance towards the characters themselves or even the narrative in general. And don’t even get me started on the female characters, you assholes had this figured out all the way back in FFV, this isn’t hard.

So basically what I’m saying is that Final Fanatsy XV was written by Steven Moffat OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

kacchako prompts: an update

I now have 6 prompts left from the dozen and so that got sent in, and I’m still having fun writing them for the people who requested themm. It makes me very happy seeing all the positive reactions!

However,

I have 4 important exams coming up in the next 2 months or so.

I’ve already noticed that I’ve let writing go before studying.

So I’m putting a hold on writing the prompts until after the work load has massively decreased, sorry!

I’m still going to be updating my High School AU kacchako multichap fic: Kickstarts, every other week, though! (since I worked ahead on that)

Again, thanks to everyone that sent them in!

Should I do another prompt request for when I hit 1K? I’m currently 5 followers away and I still have no idea what to do for it.

And I’m thinking broadening it to more bnha ships besides Kacchako.

Yay or Nay?
