[sonknuxadow]

its so frustrating how a lot of scu fans cant handle other sonic fans not having the exact same taste in sonic media that they do. like i feel like you can say something negative about literally any other sonic media on here and people generally wouldnt care that much but the second you say anything less than positive about the movies people start getting all weird about it and trying to argue with you ive had it happen to me and seen it happen to others as well .... like the sonic franchise is very big and has many different media types and writing styles not everyone is going to uncritically love everything. get over it ? im not trying to be mean but idk what else to tell you

People are really sleeping on some aspects of the Ghost King au. Honestly if there was a High King above all other royals, chiefs, ect. Then there's gonna be fans

Examples:

1. Anyone who was obsessed with swords in life would probably be lining up outside the castle to try to be one of the high kings knights

2. Former MI6 or FBI agents wanting to continue thier jobs in the afterlife

3. Someone who's always wanted to shout "Get down Mr. President!!!" Would probably try stalking Danny for the chance to save him

4. Danny on the cover of Ghost Magazines as an unwilling celebrity. People are going to be watching his every move and commenting on it.

5. Naturally Danny as Ghost King would have at least some type of political power. Something most writers seem to forget.

I would love a DpxDc fic with this in it. Just so I can enjoy Ghost King aus again lol

Solas deserves a warm embrace and a safe space, somewhere where he doesn't feel alone anymore, someone to tell him he will be okay, someone to reassure him that it is okay to let go, to grieve. The man has been so traumatized that he's stuck in the denial phase, he's being eaten up by his regret, he is losing his himself and casting himself off into solitude because he thinks that is how he will fix everything. He needs help and I sincerely hope we get to give him that.

His story won't end with his downfall.

Can we please stop normalizing telling people to kys for liking things you might not like? Like... It's absolutely insane. The block button is right there... Theres blocks for tags even. Stop telling people to go die just because they don't share the same opinions.

I should also say this;

You're allowed to not like things, and that's okay! Not everything is for everyone! You are free to not want to interact with things or fandoms you don't like. I'm not saying we all have to get along. B/c that's near impossible.

Seriously. Stop telling each other to kys. Stop normalizing that shit. That's seriously not okay.

And people wonder why fandoms aren't fun anymore.

literally 90% of the Jinx art i've seen caters to the male gaze, Caitvi gets a lot of sapphic-oriented stuff naturally which i'm also very glad for but !!! Jinx needs some love too 😭 also for the fic recs yes feel free to go as problematic as you want lol, give us the good stuff 😈😈 (u may throw in reader x stuff too thank u for ur service 🙏)

Warning potentially a bit long and rambly~

Fic recs below 📜

Oh yeah definitely! It's a bit frustrating, as much as Vi and Cait are very hot, I've got my eyes on someone else. And I really can't stand malegazey porn, so finding anything other than crumbs and fics has been real hard. Also, I've felt a bit inspired to draw more stuff I'm into lately rather than what other people want, especially after reading and taking to heart that one quote by Patrick Califia (I have it reblogged here and also it's my header lol) from his book macho sluts where he mentions how lesbians often make porn that they think should get them turned on rather than what actually gets them going bc of internal shame, and like yeah, I definitely feel that in both stuff I've drawn myself but also in porn/erotica made by other lesbians. So I'm trying to draw stuff I've read about that I think are hot, but also things I've fantasized about.

Enough rambling hehe..

Here's some fics I've enjoyed. Not super crazy things, bc I don't feel confident posting way too intense stuff lol. Kinda mixed quality, but yeah, I found them hot regardless hehe. I'll add to this list if I find some more stuff I like. Pls recommend me more

Oh yeah, sorry if anyone has issues with jinx x sev stuff, there very much is a drought in bottom jinx content so gotta take what you can get

Content warnings should be in the fics. I won't write them out, so proceed with caution and all that.

[fayewoodss]

though I haven't had the chance to watch the oompaville video and I do not care for mrbeast regardless of what happens, I admire dream's empathy, sensitivity, and consistent push for nuance when it comes to big controversies.

I don't have anything to add or share about the actual situation at hand. I will forever remain critical of capitalists and extreme wealth, and do not think creators and celebs as big as mrbeast and his company could ever truly function morally or ethically, but I recognize how many things in this became spectacle over substance. because of that, I think many people are misinterpreting dream's tweets as a defense when it's simply just a push for people to actually research and look into things critically, beyond the scope of internet culture.

[miwtual]

i think something that people miss about the "you should be reblogging creative work, not just liking it" stuff is that so many people who arent making these creative works are so in the mindset of QUANTITY of notes over QUALITY of notes.

maybe this is in part because of other social media (like instagram, twitter, and youtube) where the creator is rewarded based on the quantity of likes, but y'all have to understand that us tumblr creators, for the most part, do not care about the quantity of notes. yes, it's nice to know that 700 people liked a gifset we made! but it's disheartening to see that only, like, 5 people reblogged it onto their blog so other people could see it and enjoy it too. part of tumblr as a SOCIAL media is that we are meant to interact with each other here, and if you only like stuff, you're limiting the social aspect of a wide platform of users.

fic writers want to see your comments about how they wrote that one scene. fanartists want you to get excited about the way they draw your favorite characters. gifsets like what we have here on tumblr don't exist like this anywhere else. why don't you want to show these creators off to your friends and followers? don't you want to show off how cool these creations and their creators are?

reblog from us now so you're not begging for us to come back to you later.

My purpose and singular mission in life is to make sure queer and/or neurodivergent kids know that sometimes it really is their parents who are stupid and other adults are on their side. This, unfortunately, does not make me popular with their parents. Gonnae keep doing it though.

[chilling-seavey]

I'm feeling like dabbling in some bisexual!George/experimenting George vibes for my next piece of spicy writing. I have these two ideas that I'm super excited for but I can't decide which I want to start working on first— No better idea than to ask you guys 🤍

[ratlesshonret]

also i know i included sinclair in my last post about "relating to this character means you probably aren't cis or mentally healthy" but i do want to talk about trans!sinclair a bit since it is something i have Thoughts on that i dont see many other people have:

to sum it up: I think it's fine. I don't personally subscribe to trans sinclair, but I absolutely do not mind people who do.

i personally dont think transmasc sinclair really makes a ton of sense with where he is in his story and stuff, but i can still understand it and dont mind content about it. i support it, even. do what you want.

pre-transfem sinclair makes a bit more sense to me, again when it comes to where he is in his story (with having only just started to "break through the egg," to me it doesn't make a ton of sense if he's already realized he's trans and has transitioned before joining limbus), but i still dont fully subscribe to it. again, do not mind seeing it, just not my headcanon of choice.

having read Demian, i think the queer themes in that book, at least the ones i picked up on, were more about sexuality than gender identity. i see sinclair as, if anything, more of a representation of bisexuality than being transgender.

i suppose to sum it up again: i support trans sinclair, but don't personally subscribe to it. as a bisexual myself, i see sinclair as more hearkening to bisexuality than being trans, especially when taking the book into account.

[acaciapines]

rereading random bits of descendants of olympus (as one does) and. vera <3 still soooo obsessed with how she takes lupa's divinity. like MAN.......there is something to how shes had to scrape and claw her way into every single good thing shes ever had. that she's never just been able to KEEP these things, that she is always always always fighting for them. and so of course she takes divinity. she wants to LIVE. and in this world where the fates themselves are trying to control her, its like--yeah. maybe you do need a gods power to finally get like, at least a year of the life you want. the life you werent supposed to have. forever thinking about vera's one line in her chapter thats like 'of course the fates are losing power. because they'd never let someone like leo into my life.' YELLS. FOREVER.

also have we talked enough about minnie I THINK WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT MINNIE--

[neege]

Thinking about a "That's the Way I Loved You" by Taylor Swift J/S + R/S situation... (It's one of her best songs in my opinion, a long-time favorite of mine)

This is very unlike me but I am a little obsessed with the concept

Thinking about James and Sirius having this all-consuming, passionate, intense relationship as teens/young adults—it's secret and messy and wild and everything.

James keeps claiming he's straight, and still starts dating Lily (maybe a little bit of toxicity?? Some cheating maybe??? Listen, it's good tv...)—and eventually James puts his foot down and says they can't keep doing this, he has to settle down, wants a family, all that jazz (they still love each other)

Enter Remus, who has been crushing on Sirius for years (secretly) (it's not a secret at all, everyone knows) (including Sirius) and doesn't know about S/J, but also isn't going to make a move on Sirius because no way he would reciprocate, so he's just pining away.

Sirius, feeling lonely and maybe a little jealous of J/L, starts flirting with Remus, and then they hook up. At first it's just to distract himself from James, but Remus turns out to actually be a very sweet boyfriend, and he clearly cares about Sirius and so Sirius just stays with Remus, because Remus is his friend anyway, and Sirius does like him! No really he does!

And Remus is nice! He's sweet and they hold hands and Remus is so so clearly happy, and Sirius feels fine! He feels loved.

But he misses James. And he misses the craziness, the messiness, the anger and frustration and longing and passion. (Maybe they continue to have secret meet ups?? Idk this can be as toxic as you'd like lol)

Maybe deep down Sirius knows he's never going to love Remus—or anyone—the way he loves James...

Anyway!!! Just thought this was a fun (painful) concept 🥰

Thinking about Persona 4 Arena Ultimax

Specifically the Persona 3 side of it.

I think it's interesting (and kinda funny) how a lot of the P3 content in this game is built upon the many CD Dramas that released in Japan following Persona 3/FES' releases, specifically the New Moon/Full Moon and Daylight/Moonlight Duologies.

As what's most likely the largest example, Labrys, one of the two major characters introduced in the game, was actually named in the Moonlight CD, which was released back in 2007 (Arena was released in 2012, for reference)

"The 7th Generation, Aigis, was created from all the data we'd obtained from all prior designs up to the 5th Generation, Labrys." (Moonlight)

Aigis' and Labrys' motivation of finding their mother is also building upon the story of Moonlight, where Aigis is able to speak with the girl whose personality was one of the bases used for the Anti-Shadow Weapon development project, and who refers to herself as her mother (but looks more like her younger sister).

"That's right... in human terms, I guess I'm kinda like your mother or something? A-ah, but based on our outward appearances, I guess I look more like your younger sister?" (Moonlight)

(For context, she is forced to forget this meeting at the end of the CD, but resolves to meet with the girl in real life. She isn't named, but we're told she has black hair.)

I think Mitsuru is the most interesting, as her appearance in the game is almost wholly influenced by the story of the New Moon/Full Moon Drama CDs, which are a side story covering her and the broader Kirijo Group's situation immediately following Takeharu's death, released in 2009.

Mitsuru's story opens up with her going public about the bloody past of the Kirijo Group and the existence of the Dark Hour and Shadows. This is following up on her resolution near the end of Full Moon, where she states plainly that this is the path she's going to take.

Ichiro Takadera: "Well then, do you intend to make a public announcement regardless of what follows? About the Shadows and so on?"

Mitsuru: "That is my path in life. I cannot stray from it." (Full Moon)

Kikuno Saikawa, Mitsuru's right hand maid and one of the shadow operatives, also made her debut in New/Full Moon. The two of them met when they were children, and Kikuno vowed to protect Mitsuru after she'd saved her from her despair as a child.

Kikuno: "Six years ago, when I learned my stay at the hospital wasn't because of illness but because I was sold over by my parents, you were the one who saved me from my despair. On that day, I swore I'd devote my life to following this person." (Full Moon)

Ultimax was the first time she was given a design, but she would later appear in the Persona 3 Movie: Winter of Rebirth. Her characterization in Ultimax is pretty faithful to her depiction in the CD.

(A fun fact is that Kikuno was also mentioned in the "Seaside Vacation Before Death's Scythe" Drama CD, which was released in 2013 as a promotion for the then upcoming first Persona 3 Movie, Spring of Birth.)

One of the Kirijo artifacts mentioned in Mitsuru's prologue is a ring that gives its wearer immunity to the effects of the Dark Hour. This too is an object introduced in New/Full Moon.

"Also, there is no need to worry, as everyone who are not in possession of special powers, including me, will wear this ring. While it's on you are able to experience the Dark Hour and even when you take it off your memories of it will remain." (New Moon)

Something that doesn't come up in Ultimax is that if you smash the jewel in the center of the ring, you'll lose all your memories of the Dark Hour. It's an interesting little thing! I mean it's. Useless now cause the Dark Hour is gone but it's pretty cool...

Mitsuru's main internal conflict is her inability to ask others for help for fear of burdening or endangering them. This is something that comes up in Persona 3, but in the Drama CDs this aspect of her character is very deeply explored. It's her main emotional arc and the source of her conflict with Yukari in both the New/Full Moon CDs and Persona 3 Character Drama Vol. 4, which focuses on their relationship.

Yukari: Is your faith in us that weak?

Mitsuru: To be frank, I can't bear it anymore. I don't want others to die for my sake!

Y: And you're gonna sacrifice yourself because of that? Why do you take on so much by yourself? Is that really okay with you? Don't you want to see your friends and family again?! And to survive?! Why can't you just be honest?!

M: Of course I want to! But...that is...what should I say? It's always like that...whenever I get soft or burden others... They might end up dying again. [...] Aragaki, and my Father... What am I supposed to tell you after all that happened? Even if I'm afraid and wish to be saved, what do I say?! What should I say?! (Full Moon)

Yukari even brings up that they've had this talk before. It could be referring to their heart to heart in Kyoto, but I think it could also be read as their conflicts in the CDs too.

When Ken asks Kikuno where she learned to fly a helicopter, she states that she learned it after being involved in an assault operation on a high school dormitory, an incident which Ken says he remembers. (Say it with me now!) This is most likely referencing the climax in Full Moon, where the Kirijo Group led by Takadera attempt to raid Iwatodai Dorm and forcibly apprehend SEES, so as to avoid the possibility of Ikutsuki's plot and the Group's sins from becoming public.

There's definitely more stuff, but I just wanted to point out the things I noticed/particularly liked with Mitsuru's story.

I think Junpei suffers the most from having a lot of his characterization be taken from the CDs. A lot of people were (and still are) confused about P4AU Junpei's seemingly sudden hard pivot to Baseball, as in Persona 3 proper, it's not a very large aspect of his character.

But in the CDs, Junpei being Into Baseball is MUCH more prominent. As in he refers to everyday situations in baseball terms sometimes.

In Persona 3 Character Drama Vol 2., (released in 2008 and centered around Junpei and Chidori) Junpei dreams about taking Chidori out on a date, and eventually settles on asking her to go to a baseball game with him. (She accepts, if you were curious).

He talks with Chidori about baseball so much that she got into it herself and started watching baseball in the hospital.

At the end of Moonlight, the SEES gang talk about what they want to do after they defeat Nyx, and Junpei says he wants to go to a baseball game. They even kind of tacitly explain why he didn't talk about it all that much ingame by saying he'd fallen out of interest in it but that he "feels like it's returned in full force!"

The thing about P4AU's heavy references to the CDs though, especially in Junpei's case, is that they were never officially translated or released outside of Japan. To this day the only way for non-Japanese speaking audiences to experience the CDs is to listen to them with (usually slightly incomplete) fansubs online.

While I kind of appreciate the novelty of that, it's definitely caused some confusion when it comes to characterization. In P3 Reload, for instance, Junpei makes a lot more references to baseball in his dialogue. And for a lot of people, it feels like the purpose of that is to retroactively make Junpei's appearance in P4AU make more sense.

And while that's not incorrect, it misses the fact that Junpei was already established to like baseball in supplementary material before Arena came out. It's more like making his character consistent with the same material that P4AU used when writing Junpei.

But it's not like you can even blame people for thinking that because a lot of people are normal and don't listen to 16 year old fan translated Drama CDs uploaded to youtube. It's just interesting to me I suppose. I wonder how much characterization we miss due to lack of access to supplementary material.

Anyway you should listen to the CDs though they're really good. New Moon/Full Moon especially.

Moonlight is also very good, it's a pseudo-prelude to The Answer, and the character writing is top notch.

But that's all I had to say, really. Just thought it'd be fun to talk about.
