the main character can't be yuuta or megumi either, no matter what people say because thats!!!! not how it works!!!! yes megumi has sukuna now but that doesnt mean hes suddenly the main character??? maki got a sick power up but was she suddenly the MC? no. and yuji makes this story like 100x better
and if you're still all like "but kerb! he gets one shot by the entire universe!!!" like yes??? and??? the power system in jjk goes by emotions, not necessarily physical strength, and yuji has been stuck in this "cog in the machine" mindset for 100ish chapters, of course he wouldnt be over powered. but have you seen him fight? he's adaptive to his partner's strengths and weaknesses, and has earned the respect of numerous people. give him his chance and you'll see that he's the main character of jjk
#jjk spoilers#jjk manga#jjk#yuji itadori#yuji is a good twist from the usual shounen protags#hes a great protag#yall gotta give him a chance#some of yall are just complaining to complain#or because hes not the usual cut of the mill protag#jujutsu kaisen

pygmalion and galatea for aroace people
you should tell your friends what I look like, riz gukgak.
#fantasy high#fantasy high sophomore year#fhsy#riz gukgak#baron from the baronies#fh class quangle#class swap babeyy! bard!riz that's whats goin on!#I really need tags for these now I think lmao#ask to tag#I feel like this should be tagged something. but I dont know what#in my brain after the initial kidnapping class swap baron's thing is every time riz keeps his story abt them up in front of his friends#they get a little bit closer. they send him pictures of where they supposedly are n stuff#theres a scene in my brain only of kristen and riz on top of the van and kristen is like everything kinda sucks rn can u tell me abt baron#cause what you guys have is so nice and beautiful. and riz almost doesn't but he ultimately can't deny kristen a little peace#lmao I feel like dipping into baron stuff with the class swap is like showing my whole ass online again I just. I'm a#horror person before all else... I cant stop myself. canon baron is Great and Cool but that is kind of the thing. for a horror thing theyre#Too Cool. I think cool is kind of the neutralizer of scary. when a monster is a certain amount of cool it overrides the scary#and now u just have a Cool Monster#its so fucked for bard!riz this year bc he doesn't have an office (he's mooching off the school wifi from the AV club room lol)#so there's no buffer between adventure and home life. so baron just shows up in the strongtower apartment lmao#sophomore year bard!riz looks like a slasher protag so I just leaned into it I guess. he gets a mr. x if mr. x is made up by leon kennedy#well. its worse actually. they can show up where he is at any moment theyve proven this. but they dont#they choose to punish him slowly as he lies to his friends instead. baron is mr. x if mr. x is made up by leon and also a bitch#I think its gonna pop up if class swap baron ever speaks in a comic I do but their voice comes from like. inside their hollow face#it sounds like it's a lot deeper in there than that skull should be#tbh what I have rn is kinda like a bag of loose pieces that Can fit together into something great but I dont have the energy to#really sit down with them yet lol. Im doing this inbetween other things#it comes or it doesn't! it's fine. funny how today's bad comic day also. I wont say this is for bad comic day bc all my comics are#flawless and beautiful and perfect and awesome and beautiful and the best#but u should. if u havent drawn a comic today or at all ever u should draw a comic

i'm so relieved that people like my retrobat stuff bc i can tell tumblr definitely prefers two very specific batmans: Tortured Diesel DILF and Edward Cullen But Cooler. meanwhile i'm out here like
#i mean i COULD wax poetic about how serious/grounded stories don't necessarily have to humorless and grimdark#i think someone who is 100% brooding all the time is just as cartoonish and wacky as someone who is always 100% silly#if anything it comes off as insecure. like omg look how serious i am guys!! i made batman unfunny and cruel and abusive!!#i think there's a lot to chew on with a guy who is miserable and traumatized but still at the end of the day a paragon and optimist#if he wasn't ultimately optimistic and big-hearted he wouldn't be doing literally any of this shit lbr he'd just shoot guys and go home#like look man if you wanna write the next great gutwrenching american novel maybe don't pick a single dad in a fursuit as your protag sorry#IF I WANTED SERIOUS NAVELGAZING I'D READ HEMINGWAY. WHICH I ENJOY AS WELL#shebbz shoutz#batman#dc

#dbtag#silly hours#god#I feel like that's a really clear and consistent thing throughout the entirety of the manga but OTL leave it to Toei!!!!#lays on the floor I wish people were less afraid of letting “good guys” be flawed and selfish and reckless without having to like.#idk vilify them?#like Goku does and always has had a ton of negative qualities about him but what keeps him a protag and what keeps those negatives charming#is that 1) he never promises to be anything Else. If you're upset by his behavior that's a you problem Goku's just doing Goku#He's only upset when Other People get hurt because 2) almost none of those negative qualities contain any malice whatsoever#even as a kid when he was 'i killed that guy' it was like 'i solved a problem why are you mad (gen)' not 'good fucking riddance lol'#and he kept that as an adult too even when he learned more about compassion he's still 'well if you're not gonna stop i have to kill you'#it's never 'fuck off and die' it's always 'listen buddy either you knock it off or i knock you out there is no option c '#and god i love that Goku. I spent so long thinking I hated Goku growing up but I only hated Toei's Goku. Toriyama's Goku is GREAT.#like look if an antagonist is just a hero with the wrong perspective a hero is just a villain with the right one#and the fact that Goku has all of the qualities of a villain with none of the malice or intention makes him SO POWERFUL as a character#Goku doesn't like bystanders getting hurt. That doesn't make him less chaotic and self-centered and simplistic in his worldview.#A hero sacrifices his loved ones to save the world -- a villain sacrifices the world to save his loved ones --#Goku sacrifices himself because you cannot kill him in any way that matters#idskahds anyway here's another essay in the tags for your wednesday evening scroll#the justification the interviewer gave was that the anime was for kids but my beef with that is that Hero Tropes strip chaotic characters#of their emotions. Goku's conflicts are emotional. Goku's power is emotional. Goku's childlikeness keep him authentically emotional.#MORE kids -- ESPECIALLY little boys -- deserve a male protagonist who leans into his emotions to persevere and win.#Super deciding his “angelic state” would kill him makes me want to tear my hair out lmao Goku's EMOTIONS are too strong to hold it.#you could've just asked toriyama about it why'd you decide on the most basic high-stakes shorthand possible OTL#aNYWAY#media analysis#in the tags at least lol

Just finished Return of Ultraman!! (i got really attached...)
#return of ultraman#ultraman jack#hideki go#jiro sakata#yuriko oka#ultraman#i've decided to watch all of ultraman in order. Because I love it lmao#did Return of Ultraman get crazy compelling half way through!? When I wasn't looking!? what happened!? AAAA!? It was kinda great!?#My first impression was not super good... and it took me awhile to come back around but damn it they did it#also i ended up really enjoying Go and Jiro towards the end lol.#Good for Go being one of the only toku protags i've seen take responsibility for a child lmao#gonna ignore the final episode... that's not on him... that's Ultraman's fault. Damnit Ultraman.#Also Oka should get to kick more ass. She was so cool when she got to do things ladkfjlek#Siiiiigh... the MAT uniforms are so good.... very Yoshiko aesthetic..... Simple but sleek as hell#(its the chevron pfffff)#also I was aware that Jiro Dan(Go's actor) was the Ryusoul elder but he was also PAPA GORAIGER!? WHAT!? THAT FUCKING GUY!?

this game does a really good job of giving backstory for jaheira and minsc that's accessible to new players to the series, while also being absolutely devastating to return players, and i appreciate that so much
#like it's very ''aww that's sad'' to tav but if the player has the actual history with dynaheir and minsc it's BRUTAL#matt did a really great job of showing how much he misses her even after 100 years#(i miss her too)#also i really REALLY appreciate the bg1&2 protag being referred to as ''gorion's ward'' here#(even though the game also namedrops stupid abdel in a book too)#it helps keep up the immersion bc my ward was definitely not abdel adrian lmao#court vs bg3#minsc#minsc and boo#dynaheir

#talk tag#orv liveblog#<--gonna just tag my orv misc posts as this now#i looooove when the webtoon artist draws him like a demonic beast#its genuinely so moe to me smdbsndn like hes supposed to be rly handsome but theyre not afraid to make him look unhinged#i rmbr livetweeting that yjh hibernation pic captioned 'hes so moe'... apparently that was 2022(just dug it up)#more than 1 person has told me that theyre surprised i bias yjh from the webtoon alone#bc apparently they dont do his chara justice(v 😔😔😔 to hear that...thats not good..)#BUT HOW COULD I NOT BIAS HIM!!!! (apparently this is not a universal experience aldjskdj)#this just makes me even more uncontrollably excited to read the novel i cant wait to love him more than i alr do#and i love when he glares and makes a disgusted face at kdj... its so cute 🤭 he's like an angry black dog to me. hes like a wolf puppy#*tries to pat his head and gets cut down in .00001 sec... no he wouldnt waste his sword on me... i would simply perish from being in the#the presence of his aura#literally the tsundere ever#aside from hiei... hiei rly primed me to like male tsunderes guys#like after him i have loved sm tsundere male charas since#yjh is in a league of his own tho. like idc how many similar/near identical charas have come before or since#he OWNS the yjh archetype literally everyone else is just copying him <33#even if it was a choice btwn yjh and cedric id have to go w yjh... he is the original im sorry... i love u cedric#and i love that the whole point is that his design/chara archetype ISNT supposed to be original... thats the Point#he's the typical op dark haired stoic cold brooding (and sexy) protagonist...#his chara concept is supposed to be that trope... but what orv does w him is so subversive#and the fact that he is supplanted from his position as the protag in the narrative... i love it sooo much#like maybe i wouldnt care as much if he actually was the protag? bc again it wouldnt rly be new#but the fact that he isnt the actual protag is sooo good#IM NOT RLY SAYING OR ANALYZING ANYTHING RN BUT I JUST FELT LIKE YJH LOVEPOSTING#o sidenote his webtoon faces make great rxn images slfnsmd I LOVE USING THE FIRST ONE#i love using heartwrenching anime/comic moments out of context as rxn images its so funny to me#me @ the orv live action cast announcement

so hey guys i finished dungeon meshi yesterday and i'm still thinking about it
#ria.txt#i spoiled myself so at first i was like 'this is bonkers wtf are they doing in those last few chapters?????'#but then it was like. yeah. i see#love those ch when it's just clearly putting the squad into Situations#also. izutsumi#what i really liked was how tightly the protagonist and the deuteragonist were wound up in the overall themes#the plot the themes the conflict the characters it was very neatly connected#hence i am also now accidentally invested in whatever going on between laios and marcille#not just platonic not romantic not enemies i just think they work well tgt and deeply care for each other its great watching them develop#it's the leader + most trusted advisor / anxious girlfailure + the annoying freak she's somehow attached to vibes#haha that rabbit chapter with marcille. hahha i was like what the fuck man. it was funny and then boom whump [tears streaming down my face]#those shapeshifter chs were sooo much fun esp seeing other chara's perceptions of each other. stealing that#the changeling ones were great too elf senshi is the fucking funniest he looks sooooooo unserious#marcille's evolving perception with death starting with saving falin and saving the squad and her nightmares of outliving everyone-#-and her dad and her 'temper tantrum' and UGH when at the end she said she was fine with falin not coming back.... WAAA. OUGH.#i think dunmeshi handled the trope of 'prophecy of chosen one becoming king' pretty well and it makes sense why laios is the protag#the worldbuilding is so thoughtful as well i liked seeing different characters with different worldviews interact#very solid and well rounded series wooo#the main 4 has such a fun dynamic together#anyways. dunmeshi au.....#more like borrowing the worldbuilding bc charas are too nuanced for a one to one comparison#ren is like some prince of his own species but he's like 34th in line and no one cares about him so he fucks off to eat monsters#which is why he's both snobbish AND a total freak when it comes to his food taste#false is originally in for the money from ren and plans to scam him but unfortunately the cringefail swag captures her#martyn is Obnoxiously Clueless and thinks he's smart but he's not. he's resourceful but also pathetic and crazy#stress cant cook but she thinks she does so everyone goes (≖_≖ ) when she picks up a pot. they delegate her to killing and chopping duty#the mvp is iskall who keeps on saving everyone's asses and somehow has resources for everyone#i think ren is actually aware false is going to scam him but he has too much money to spend anyway and he thinks shes cool so he lets her??#and somehow she doesnt take the money and run. and goes back to eating monsters w/ the party. everyone is crazy

finding an excuse to run away like a coward finding a great reason to go and leave your needy quasi-sibling who looks up to you as infaillible and relies on you because it's too much pressure/commitment/responsibility
wwx 🤝 shadowrun hong kong protagonist
#srhk protag has more power dynamics text-text#chengxian#i am in fact playing it almost as wwx as i can#it's great#most salient difference between jc and duncan is that duncan basically tells you he needs someone to give him orders and it used to be you#srhk#playing srhk as chengxian adjacent

Another reason I prefer the yugioh dubs to the subs is in the subs when a character gets asked if they have crush on someone they’ll go “GWAH?! (>///<) Wha- no, you stupid... ⸝⸝⸝o⸝⸝⸝o⸝⸝⸝ Well... except..."
Meanwhile in the dub characters get asked about their love lives and just respond by going:
#just a preference thing. but I find it so great and entertaining to see a world where theres no song and dance#my fave example of this is when Akira says he thought Skye and Yusaku were dating and Yusaku just goes o_o#'Yeah. Wouldn't that be terrible.' in the flattest and most unemotive voice#I LOVE IT#THEY FEW CANON COUPLES NEVER MESS AROUND WITH THE WILL THEY/WON'T THEY. EITHER THEY GET TOGETHER OR THEY DON'T. HELL YEAH#yugioh#yugioh gx#yugioh 5ds#yugioh zexal#yugioh arc v#yugioh vrains#censorship inadvertently made half the protags ace coded and that is VERY MUCH NOT A BAD THING

playing The Arcana as anyone but Danny (like... myself for instance) kind of takes me out of it because it's like "yeah no six different people would absolutely not be throwing themselves at ONE person who most of them JUST met" but when I look at Danny it's like no i get it i see how people would be throwing themselves at him
#apprentice danny#i love it when people simp for him because its just like no same. no comment#or... i guess five people and Muriel. Muriel is absolutely not throwing himself at him 😭#'didnt you just battle fetishization allegations and now youre posting this' listen attraction is not even remotely#the same as fetishizing something#and its important to me to portray a trans man as desirable bc in this show my mom was watching the protag went on a date#and learned the man she was on a date with was trans. HAD A GREAT TIME PRIOR. acted like he was disgusting when she learned#like....... no we arent disgusting wtf

when ryuu says “i’m not doing this for you” to kazuma ohhh my god.. he became a lawyer for kazuma’s sake but it’s not about him anymore and maybe it hasn’t been for a long time….
ryuu starts this journey as a substitute. a locum student lawyer. he says himself, when he first came to great britain he was “nobody”. all he had was a dream that wasn’t his a huge shoes to fill. in those first few days, he was an outsider, both in and out of the courtroom. in the courtroom, he’s merely the fill-in, substitute for his best friend, a truly brilliant lawyer, while he himself is a stranger to law as a profession. outside the courtroom he is a foreign man in a strange country, a fact that he is constantly reminded of by those around him.
in every way that matters, ryuunosuke naruhodo is an outsider.
those few precious moments in the courtroom however, change things. it is, perhaps, the only place where ryuu can prove himself. the only place where he can show what he is capable of and prove that he is worth something more. for these moments, ryuu becomes not just a “locum student” but a defence attorney in his own right. and he’s good at it!
he proves just how capable he is and more than that, he becomes passionate about it. he learns and grows through his time in the legal system and develops his own beliefs and goals. through law, he finally forms an identity for himself outside of being a mere substitute and an outsider. he’s a lawyer now, an advocate of truth. he’s grown magnificently into his own man.
“i’m not doing this for you. i’m doing it for the truth”
and it’s true. ryuunosuke is now a lawyer in his own right and is serious about his pursuit of the truth. it’s not about kazuma and his dream, not anymore. maybe it hasn’t been for a long time.
#im so so soooooo normal by the way#i love ryuu so dearly. can u tell he’s my favourite aa protag….#did i mention that im so normal#it just so. asoryuu drives me crazy. your my best friend but i have no idea who you are and maybe i never did.#i did all this for you but in it i found myself and maybe that’s more important.#ahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahha WOW um still nromal btw#aa#ace attorney#the great ace attorney#dai gyakuten saiban#ryunosuke naruhodo
