Okay yeah this. Gotta share this. So I love watching cute animal vids like all the other thousand people per square mile, and recently I stumbled onto this one. And of course it reminded me of them, like duh, look at them.
Also now look at the comments and how not so eerily similar they are to the dialogues that go on here. @teddywiththumbs is the op, owner of the cats.
Tumblr media
Now just to be clear, yeah cats can be gay. Along with most other animal species. Homosexual behaviour and courtship has been widely documented across species. And yeah, there is the issue of anthropomorphism (the attribution of human-like qualities to animals) as well. But I just can't help but notice how people like the commenter simply don't see what they are actually responding to when they get offended with a woman, the owner of the cats, simply stating a fact about the cats she owns. They don't see it so they think they aren't being homophobic but they are.
This is a response that I am sure some of you will relate with.
Tumblr media
Hahahaha. No seriously, this is the case isn't it?
Sometimes when I see these posts made by SNS fans here, and in spirit they read like the creation of bards of the yore who crooned graphic songs of eternal, fantastical love about two boys who once were and were made for each other.....and I wonder if the term shipping came from 'worshipping'? Maybe it did.. Heh.
They are talking about the love, the absolute spectacle of the romance of Sasuke and Naruto, aren't they? But all that is reduced to an outcome of the mental illnesses that plague these fujoshis and dirty lesbians. What this says is, this kind of bias doesn't exist just in fandoms, it is simply a reflection of the larger society, fandoms are made of the same people. This gives us a look at how people generally think of homosexuality, fandom is simply one of the many microcosms.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hehehe accurate. Or friends, brothers, comrades, etc.
Tumblr media
No seriously, just to see how quickly reactive people become when it comes to homosexuality, like what a potent trigger it is. How easy it is for people to be so upset at something that is simply natural, a fact of life. And this is just cats they are talking about, but how well it translates to other things...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Like the outrage, the desperate need to explain it away in a 'safe way'......they really harassed the op for talking about her own cats. Like no one even waited a second to google how it is possible for animals to be "gay", just like some fans here who could have saved a lot of trouble if only they had used the internet for things other than reading het smut.
What I am saying is, look how similar the narratives are. It doesn't matter if it's cats or humans, it's not about that. It's about ingrained homophobia. It doesn't say so much about cats and love, it says how uncomfortable it makes people to even consider normalising homosexuality, that seeing it so clearly portrayed or documented in media really triggers their prejudices so unquestioningly, so unerringly, so insidiously, so organically, that they don't realize what they are actually reacting to and how deeply biased they are. Good thing the op was quite insightful.
It really says a lot about people's attitudes and sublimated prejudices. The op knows homosexuality makes people deeply wary, feel deeply wronged, they feel as if they are entitled to their outrage. It results in reiterating the "natural order" of things and showing righteous indignation at what they think 'maligns' it. It is the same blueprint, settings may differ.

I think the ss fandom would have less issues if they didn’t pretend to have some sort of moral high ground with their ship. They’ve convinced themselves ss is actually a genuine love story and how they’re actually one of if not the most developed and healthy ships in the series because….. *checks notes.* they were on the same team and… what else? Uhh.. they’re the same age and They look fairly aesthetically pleasing together ig…
It’s just funny for a ship with such awful moments like the Genjutsu (which is STILL talked about for how it practically put a nail in the ss coffin and how it gives people second hand embarrassment lmao.) that they STILL somehow think they can pretend they’re morally better than other pairings. There’s just some hilarious about an ss speaking about how “toxic” or “abusive” ships like k*kasaku, sasuk*rin, or sns are when they ship ss.
It’s crazy how a dumb wish fulfillment non canon ship like K*kasaku is still better than ss simply because they don’t have any godawful moments. S*sukarin is kind of a different case considering it does have a few really bad moments, but the fact Sasuke doesn’t completely hate Karin does put it above ss. Sns doesn’t need to be explained ofc lol.
It’s just embarrassing for a canon ship in such a well known series to be so bad that non canon ships… hell… crack ships are better than ss. It’s even more embarrassing the fans pretend it’s the single best thing in the entire history of the world lol.
Because they always manage to
twist any bad moment into something positive (Sasuke put Sakura in a violent genjutsu to protect her despite the fact he could have used a way less violent way to do that)
Or they steal moments from Naruto and Sasuke's relationship (Sakura saved him, Sakura is his one and only, Sakura knows his heart etc.)
they simply lie or make shit up (like claim Sasuke responded to Sakura's call when he literally said his line first as one should know considering how manga is read from right to left)
they take things out of context (like claiming the forehead poke is a good thing when even Itachi in his last moments acknowledged poking Sasuke's forehead was a wrong thing to do and stopped doing it and put their foreheads together, bringing him close instead of pushing him away with his hand)
I don't even know, delusion is a strong force. I have seen all kinds of wild takes from SS, it's hard to be surprised by anything anymore.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Their dynamic does not change. Kishi even makes callbacks to the past to show how it does not change.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now growth. No change. No mutual feelings. Only Sakura's desperate attempts to get Sasuke to like her. It's really sad.

Tumblr media Tumblr media
ok + for goodness' sake sasuke so that the screenshot takes up less space
1)parallels between naruto/sasuke and naruto/kawaki. i think honestly carrying over and actually bringing attention to the love-obsession thing that was going on sort of mostly unaddressed in the original series (in terms of no one called naruto as insane as they frankly shouldve) has the potential to be very interesting, especially because bringing it into the sphere of a father-son relationship rather than a platonic/romantic one is not really something i've seen before, along with the fact that kawaki doesn't actually know naruto much at all, making this very much an idolization of an idea of the person who saved you, someone who can do no wrong and is so without flaw. it was what this dude said:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
like kawaki's obsession is weird and emblematic of how he grew up. also, the way that both of them sort of end up treating the other like a thing to be protected or owned or passed around, kawaki trapping him in time prison with zero regards for the fact that no one wants to be in time prison, and naruto's famous "give sasuke back/dont talk about sasuke like you own him in front of me/i'll get sasuke back/ill break your legs if i have to", there is the dismissal of actual personal wants However.
kawaki does this because he thinks that naruto's life is worth more than anything ever, and the reason he thinks this is because he thinks naruto is the most perfect person in the world and the only one who can save the world from evil. in naruto's case, even though he has a habit of possessiveness, sasuke is very much still a person to him, someone he violently and desperately wants to be close to. he doesnt think sasuke is perfect or can do no wrong, he just doesnt really give a fuck what wrong things sasuke does because he loves him too much and wants him too bad to ever hold anything against him. anything sasuke does is understandable and forgivable. naruto wouldnt put sasuke in time prison to protect him because then they couldnt hang out, and he knows sasuke wouldnt want that anyways. while i think naruto's obsession is insane, its more possessive than dehumanizing, which is def the angle kawaki is taking. again, i think this could be interesting if it was expounded upon but i dont think anyone in boruto is enough of a character for this actually do be pulled off in any satisfying way.
2)boruto/kawaki vs naruto/sasuke. i think honestly i just dont really have it in me to even act like kawaki and boruto have a dynamic that even comes close to the bullshit naruto and sasuke have going on, but if i were to attempt to explain why i dont think this is the case than i think at least part of it (beyond the fact taht ever character in boruto is painfully undercooked) is that boruto and kawaki's bond is based almost entirely around both being marked by karma. like they become friends sort of on a more surface level same way boruto is friends with anyone else, but its definitely not the same as naruto and sasuke's inexplicable pull towards one another since they were kids. even though kawaki has like sort of stupid convoluted internal strife going on, boruto doesnt honestly have enough inner issues to even shadow the bizarre knot that is sns. boruto and naruto both didn't want to kill their wayward friends because it's hard to kill someone you care about, i don't think that reads as a strong parallel because its like . what kind of story would it be if boruto was just like Okay lets kill him... now! also if kawaki dies naruto stays trapped im p sure so if he kills kawaki he is also functionally killing his dad
3)naruto and sasuke are both terrible parents but sasuke is leagues leagues leagues worse and he sees boruto has his son more than he will ever see sarada as his daughter. to him, she is his daughter because that is the only way she should have the sharingan. he can't really stand being around her and any interaction he has with her is out of guilt. boruto is his son because boruto is naruto's son
4)why did they bring up that jiraiya might get resurrected and then just drop it or is this me forgetting since i watched boruto 6+ months ago

Another request! Alois, Ciel, Edward, Undertaker and Charles Gray with sn ADHD reader. Perhaps she's having a harder day handling it and just needs some cuddles to help!
honestly I feel it! I've got those ADHD vibes dang it XD
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Goodness, you just can’t keep you head on straight, can you? Irritating sometimes, especially on bad days, but… but he can handle it! While he doesn’t necessarily have any of your specific issues, he can sort of understand feeling out of control of one’s feelings and reactions and thoughts. He has his own problems, and sometimes that means he’s unable to help with yours. However, he does his best to help if he’s not having a bad day himself. He’s there to keep you on task if you’re trying to get something done, giving you cheeky, teasing little reminders that, “You said you wanted to get this done, remember? You’re getting distracted, sweetheart. Want me to help you focus?” He’s quite shameless in that he uses himself as motivation; every time you successfully get back on track after getting distracted, he gives you a kiss as a reward.
Tumblr media
Good God, how can you stand being all over the place like that all the time? He thinks his head would pop off if he had so many things pulling him in every direction. He’s had a bit more practice keeping his thoughts in line, because he has to do so in order to efficiently run a company. If you’re at all interested, he could probably teach you some techniques for staying focused. You’re making his head spin, after all, so he’s more than willing to help as long as you’re open to it. He often uses the ticking of a clock as something to concentrate on, which brings his head to the present and lets him work on whatever’s in front of him. If that doesn’t work for you, he’ll find something else. He just… knows what it’s like, even if it’s not as bad for him, to not be able to settle. Anything he can do to help you with that feeling, he’ll give it a go.
Tumblr media
Oh, goodness, she seems so… well, it’s just… she’s always at the mercy of distractions like this? That seems like a rather confusing way to live one’s life. He isn’t sure what exactly he could do to give her any assistance, other than attempt to offer gentle reminders. Even so, his biggest problem in trying to remind her is that he doesn’t want to seem pushy or add one more thing to all the information her mind is already trying to sort through. If she’s okay with him delicately poking at her to get back on task, he’ll try to do that. Writing something? Reading a book? Cooking? He’s happy to be there next to her to either nudge her if she gets distracted or take over if she’s getting flustered. He also is very good at making her feel like this isn’t a nuisance; it’s just something that has to be dealt with, and he doesn’t ever make a big show of dealing with it. He’s just… there for her.
Tumblr media
Doesn’t she get exhausted going through life like that? All disorganized and unable to focus on things? That would drive him up the wall! In fact, just looking at her getting distracted makes him a little annoyed. Not for selfish reasons, just because he’s wincing at the thought of anyone living like that, especially someone who he cares deeply about. However, he has no idea how to help her, aside from giving her blunt reminders about getting back on track if he notices her attention is being pulled somewhere else. Blunt may be what she needs; it may not be. He’ll adjust his efforts if she tells him something isn’t helping her. He also has connections with some good doctors, if she wants to go that route. However, regardless, he’ll try to help her out. If he can’t help her, well, plenty more excuse for kisses and snuggles to make her feel better.
Tumblr media
Hee-hee, she’s actually quite funny, runnin’ around like that with her mind goin’ in all different directions! How absolutely endearin’. Honestly, he just thinks it’s charming, even though he knows she most certainly doesn’t think of it as a good thing. It’s just that he can find beauty where most people don’t see it, and that extends to issues like hers. (Mind you, he’s got his own issues, so that may play a part in it.) Of course, if she happens to need him to help her get back onto a task sometimes, he’ll do his best. He likes her just how she is, though, so unless something is very important, he doesn’t always push as hard as might be effective. She needs hugs to comfort her, though? That’s most definitely his department. Aah, humans are so strange and wonderful!

Some things I had to say about the article that propably anyone will read but I want to say them out loud (I added some thoughts, yes I keep thinking about it)
1. I knew about this case back in may 2022 and started to read all I can about the accusations. By that time I was not a huge fan, only know him because of CMBYN and SN and praised his performance. Up to this point, I think that what we read about the AirMail article is a confirmation of some things his fandom has already said during those years:
- The lack of proof and inconsistencies of his accusers and how stalker one of them was from day one.
- The fact that his ex was part of the smear campaign and how a destructive person she is.
2. It also confirmed something that was pretty obvious, although some people believed it was not true: the affair, the cheating
- Was he a cheater? Yes he was, did he fucked up the marriage? I believe so but I think a relationship is about two people too. Thus, we would never know 100% what happened behind the scene. My conclusion is that none of them was a saint in the relationship, and it was toxic.
- Does it make him a bad, horrible despicable person? I think what it makes him is more a terrible partner, a toxic one, considering his explanation in the article about his other relashionships.
3. In the article it also stated things that were shocking and actually sad for me.
- The attempt of drowning: I have to say that when the "docu" was release last year I thought about how impactfull was going to be for him, mentally and emotionally. And that it could be the end for him, in terms that at some point we would wake up one day to find out he was gone. Well, by reading that he though about it, at the beginning of the scandal, really moved me.
- The sexual trauma he had as a child and how that leaded to his view of sex, it was really unfortunate. Was it a PR way to get forgiveness? As the article stated, is a common tactick, but I am not 100% sure it was the intention because also in the article, he stated that episode is not an excuse for his behaviour towards those women, it was more to find out the origin of his personal problems and the way he saw sex.
- I want to comment somthing here, since I have been reading about it yesterday: his sexuality. I think this topic is nobody's business. Whether some say the article is "forcing" readers to believe he is straight, to me, it is non sense. The article is not about his sexuality is about his personal traumas, issues, mistakes, his side of the story in terms of the accusations. When it was mentioned that "he had never had sex with a man" it was related to the colombian guy and Effie's comments.
4. About her ex, I might be honest, at the beginning I really was on her side. I mean, if you find out your husband cheated for so long, and started to have questionable behaviour and also is acussed of something so delicate. How would I feel? I would have felt terrible, disapointed, I wont even wanted to know about him anymore. But there are also some points:
-After reading about her and now confirming it through this article. My empathy for her dissapeared completely . In fact, I find her anmoying and somebody whose obsession to show her perfect-imperfect life makes her fake and irritating.
- Her way to react to everything: its really disapointing coming from someone who had everything on her side to be the smarter one. And it confirm the idea of "being older does not makes you more mature". Since she is older than him, but if she was mature or more clever she would have handle the situation better. Okey, as I said, the impact of a cheating specially after so many years can make you do things. He is the father of her children, embarrasing him for being a cheater would have been enough.
- But take it further to create this whole campaign for years and confabulate with the mistresses and accused him of r@p* and violance towards his children, leading to distroying his career, was too much.
- What I wonder is why? If you know your partner cheeted on you for years, why stay with him? Is more powerfull your intention to have the perfect family than separarte from a person that clearly does not love you anymore? Did he promissed he wont cheat again but keep doing it? Was it all about the money? We would never know for sure.
5. His process of healing. It is good to know that he is working on It, that he made peace with himself and his is finding his way to have a normal living. It Is his right, even after his wrongdoings, he has the right to start over and make a reflextion of this actions. Is people going to forgive him? I dont think so nor I think he should care about that. if he is fine is enough because unfortunatelly people in sm are toxic.
6. About the way he reflected on his actions. I think it is mature from him to take responsability. That is what anyone who made mistakes should do, but here I have some comments:
- I do not understand how people are mad or critize him. What did they expect? That he accepted he rape people, that he is cannibal? The article was his side of the story, and explain his version and supported it with information. Is the same way those women have done the last 2 years.
- About his comparison with RDJ and others. I think every story is different but in general I understand that what he meant was that those people struggle but at the end they change and are better now.
- there is one thing I did not like about and it was the "hero' death" comment. I like Armie. He seems like a genuine, honest person who had and is dealing with his issues. But I dont think it was good to compare his situation to "heros's death" since it make it look like he is the "hero" which clearly he wasn't nor isn't. Jus saying that you have to hit rock bottom to later start again for good would have been enough.
7. His friends. I have read that some questioned the way his friends commented about Armie. In my personal opinion, his friends are good ones. If I were one of his friends I would definetely talk to him and tell him how an ashole he was, I would even being disapointed, in addition to the fact that I would asking him if he raped somebody or not. Even more, if I warned him and at the end did the opposite, I would tell him "I told you". Does it make me a bad friend? I dont think so. A bad friend would have been if I leave him alone, or didnt support him, didn't try to help him to understand that what he did was wrong. A true friend tells you when you fucked up, but that does not mean they will leave you. I think they are those kind of friends.
8. About his career. I wish he come back. As I said I really like the way he act. For me, he has the qualities to be a good actor and he loves it. (The part that really broke me was when he said: "they didnt want me to act, but also they dont want me to have a normal life either"). In addition, I think:
- if that happen or not we dont know. Many did not like him before the scandal, less they do now. There is nothing he can do and I dont think HW would do anything.
- If Luca or any independent director cast him would be really nice. Based on his performances, he perfomes better on this type of films than the big budget ones.
- But at the same time, I think: if I were him and after being treated that way in the industry I work for 10 years, would I really wanted to comeback? If so I would have to see all those people who turn their backs on me or make fun of me or did not say anything when I needed the most. Personally I would felt weird.
9. About the reaction of people and the media. Well there is not too much to say:
- Show biz media really covered the most controvertial things, left aside the most important parts. In general, they kept the same narrative otherwise they would be seem as unbias and as bad journalism. Does it surprised me? Nop.
- But what I really congratulate Armie is for not choosing them as the media to release his side of the story. It was pretty smart I might say. I enjoy the idea of how Variety, Hollywood reporter and the rest might have been feeling to find out that he give the exclusive to the AirMail.
- about the people, well it does not suprised me how hypocrites people are in sm. The way they wish him d*ad and do not want to hear the side of his story, confirm how less interested are in knowing the whole picture compared to how eager are to distroy people.
10. About justice, I hope those people get the consecuentes of their actions. It is not fair for the Metoo movement and any sa survivor to have people who stained the cause and such delicate matter for their convenience and mental problems. Armie said he emotionally abused those women therefore he is paying the consecuences. It is time for the rest to get the same.
In general it was an interested article and I am really happy that he decided to talk. It was his right and also I think it was necessary.
If people believe him or not, that is another story.

Hey Kiyaar, I know we haven't talked too much, so I hope I'm not bothering you during a low spoon period, but I'd been getting a little bit into astrology when you posted your 'calculating natal charts for blorbos with maximum traumatic impact' post and it was really clear and straightforward and I really enjoyed reading it! So I figured maybe I could take a chance and message you to see if you could point me in the direction of astrology resources you've found useful (book or web)?
Because it turns out my latest bout of health issues that have completely kicked my ass, (and have still not recovered from in 6 years,) started on my Saturn return and uhhhh I just learned Jupiter returns are also a thing and my Jupiter is in Taurus so mine is about to start in May, (followed by my north node return in Pisces in 2025,) and I keep trying to look for ways to make it hopefully kick my ass less because honestly I am beyond exhausted right now. But all the sites I keep looking at are very froo-froo three-sentence-paragraph-summaries useless when it comes to advice for dealing with a Jupiter/north node return and the lack of useful information is starting to make me into a ball of anxiety, (or more of one than normal). If you have the spoons to spare to in order to pass along any resources you'd recommend I'd be incredibly grateful. If not, I hope you have a better day soon. I'll send you some good vibes either way.
@loving-that-officey-feel I am SO SORRY i took a year and a day to answer this HI, please do not worry, I very much love this question, I have several resources for you and my favorite one and the most comprehensive is my go-to Just Forks resource, and it is The Astrology Podcast w Chris Brennan. You can listen on any platforms or directly on the website, or I guess you can watch the eps on Youtube because sometimes they will show you visually the chart they are talking about and that's helpful if you need ref visuals. I listen to a lot of these while I have migraines. The eps range from very accessible to incredibly advanced topics, and it's been running for years so there is a wealth of knowledge there. Check out the ep on the nodes (290 + also 127). Like sometimes I am like. I don't really understand [concept] that keeps getting mentioned. I wonder if there is an ep on that. There is. I like this podcast because his approach is incredibly scholarly (he is very Saturnian and I like that) and he brings tons of people on and he generally has v good taste in guests. They're all super weird and interesting. If you want to learn the landscape, he has a series on each planet and on each sign and even just listening to those one by one gives you a framework. You're asking me about a specific transit and I really like Robert Hand's books, I have one of them (Planets in Transit) but there are several; I am always on the lookout for a copy of Planets in Aspect at my used bookstore. He is like. An old man who I believe has a background in Hellenistic Astrology, so his books don't include the Nodes and are speculative about some Uranus transits because most people only experience Uranus transiting into a new house once per lifetime and he wrote it in the 70s. But it's great ref for looking up transits as they happen/what they are specifically doing in my chart. ETA I have, since writing this, listened to an ep of the astrology podcast that indicated that Robert Hand wrote this book and it then ended up becoming like a cornerstone text and held up remarkably well esp considering the stuff about Pluto (newer discovery). The nodes are a thing from Evolutionary Astrology, which is some new age stuff and people most commonly ascribe the NN/SN to current life path/past life baggage/gifts, which isn't like. My favorite. I I think maybe it can be useful to think of the South Node as a representation of stuff you're naturally good at/fluent in, and the North Node as stuff that you need to work consciously to lean into more because it will help you if you do. Mostly the nodes just tell you where the eclipse cycles for the next few years are gonna be and help you situate that in your chart. On Jupiter return - this is general because I can't see your chart or know what's aspecting your jupiter/other taurus placements, etc, but generally Jupiter returns are nicer (unless you have a really debilitated Jupiter for some reason), I would worry more about that Saturn return! How Jupiter in Taurus is gonna be really depends on what house it's in (it's not a bad Jupiter placement), and how it's aspecting your chart ruler/malefics in your chart. I hope this helps! Other books I've been wanting to look at but haven't include Chani's You Were Born For This (I like her app too) Anti-recs: Co-Star (app), Jessica Lanyadoo (i'm tired of hearing her tell everyone to try mindfulness), most tiktok astrologers (they all pass around the hot transit content every 3-4 days) If i missed anything or didn't answer to your satisfaction my box is open!

People on Twitter are nuts, trying to gaslight people into thinking that SnC fandom is reducing and boys are loosing popularity, meanwhile they are literally growing more and more. Sometimes i feel like some people are cosplaying as fans, while praying on their downfall for nobody knows what reason
i'm gonna go a rant for this so… read if you wanna lol
so the thing is, as someone who has been here for basically forever (but not really) there was a point in time when snc used to really listen to fans' opinions, and i mean really listen. and while that's nice in theory, what it ended up being is the twitter fandom would say jump, and snc would ask how high. and look, it's one thing to call out problematic behaviors. i'm not saying that shouldn't be a thing.
but not everything you disagree with is a problematic behavior.
and that's what happened. the twitter side grew to have a lot of power in this fandom. they essentially were the mouth piece for how the fandom felt for a couple years. they would yell at snc (or mostly colby) about something, and snc (or mostly colby) would issue an apology, or try to explain themselves when they shouldn't have to; obviously, negating actual problematic behavior. the twitter fandom cried wolf too many times tho, bc some of the shit they used to yell at, in particular, colby for was just plain dumb. the man got yelled at for wishing happy international women's day, like full blown called a sexist. he got screamed at for not talking about jan. 6 as it was happening. he got a death threat so fucking bad that he took an entire week off from twitter, and that whole situation basically caused him to keep twitter at an arms length from that point forward.
and bc of shit like this, snc grew tired of having to explain themselves over and over again, especially when everywhere else, fans didn't give a fuck about most of what twitter would bring up. or if snc apologized for actual things they did wrong, these same fans would bring this shit up all over again as if they hadn't already apologized.
they cried wolf and were perpetually unsatisfied. and i think that vibe made snc cut their losses and basically leave the platform altogether, minus when they go to promote something.
but the fans that are on there, talking about snc declining and not being as popular as they once were… those are the old fans that wish they could go back to 2020/21 when snc would bend at the knee for them. it's all cope. they can't accept the fact that they don't a, have unfettered access to snc anymore, b, can't just scream at them to do what they want, or c, have power in the fandom anymore. bc look, are there fans that genuinely feel like snc need to do more/aren't as good as they once were? for sure. i'm not saying that isn't reality. however, the twitter fans love to say that everyone feels like this, when that just isn't the case. even if let's say for argument's sake 10k ppl feel this way. hell, let's make it 100k. if 100k ppl feel this way about snc, out of the 13 mil that are subbed to them, THAT'S NOT EVEN 1% OF THE ENTIRE FANDOM. obviously not everyone subbed to them is in the fandom but you catch my drift. so that's how little these ppl actually speak for this fandom.
and when snc got gfs, that's when this fandom hit a whole new low. i expected there to be some craziness, but i never imagined it would get this bad. and the ones that talk about how they never cared about snc getting gfs, bffr. you only starting hating snc to this degree when the girls came into the picture. you guys are upset that you didn't get a say in whether or not snc dated katelyn and malia, and that pissed you off so much that now you take it out on not only the girls but the boys. and that's just weird fucking behavior given the fact that snc are supposed to be the ones you LIKE.
what's funny to me about all of this, truly, is the fact that these fans talk a big game but never do anything. yall complain to high heaven, saying you're leaving if snc don't change, ect, ect. and yet… here you are. still. and some of yall have been saying this shit since like 2021 so???? what gives? do you actual hate everything snc does or are you just so miserable in your own life it's easier to take it out on the men you swear you like than try to fix your problems???? you tell me.
and none of this is to say that snc have never done anything wrong or that i agree with everything they do. i don't. i've made that abundantly clear over the years. but the fact of the matter is, i don't feel the need to @ them and say it directly to them. i don't feel the need to bring their gfs into the topic of conversation when it involves their content. if snc were truly not entertaining me anymore, i wouldn't have spent $15+ to go see their fucking movie in the middle of philly. just be honest and say you hate them and LEAVE. no one is holding a gun to your head. you can go at any time lol
cope all you want, but it's not gonna change the fact that snc are currently succeeding and funny enough, they don't need your tweets or approval to do so.
also, as i've stated more than once, every time snc get hate, they just get bigger. so with the amount of shit thrown at them from twitter from this past year alone… them boys are gonna win a fucking EGOT at this point, so thanks in advance for that.

Hi, this is like a rant if you don’t mind. I know you’re more into the manga and I am too as well, but still I will forever be petty about SP adding so many unnecessary scenes and fillers in the anime….especially since more people watch the anime than reading the actual manga. Thanks to SP, now I need to constantly see viral tweets of self-insert dudebros making fun of Sasuke in the anime’s VOTE1 scene when Sasuke gets punched and his face got animated so horridly by the animators. I know there were some SNS shippers in the staff, but I won’t be surprised at all if there were animators who hated Sasuke. I also was tired of the over-glorification of Itachi and the animators trying to portray Shikamaru and Chouji being Naruto’s best friend since day 1.
At this point for whatever content SP made, I only like the ost, openings, endings, and the 20th anniversary video. And still part of me kinda wish for a reboot of the series(minus Boruto sequel) in the future, and for this time the animators stay true to the manga, even though I know it won’t probably happen.
Heh, it's okay. Rant on. I don't mind.
Oh yeah. Sure, I like manga. And I am glad I read it. Kishi is a wonderful artist. But if I had to discover Naruto all over again for the first time, I would still choose the anime over manga first. I like the moving medium. When I was watching the anime, when I didn't know what fillers were or what was canon vs non canon, there were things that didn't totally make sense to me. Gradually, in the first part itself, I understood simply watching it that certain episodes were fillers, that didn't really pertain to the central story. So I went online and checked if my hunch was right and it was. Even an anime/manga noob like me could tell what made sense in the narrative and what didn't. Even though I watched almost all the fillers, because I wanted to at the time, it was easy to point out what was largely canon and what wasn't.
Yes, there are some mixed canon episodes which are more confusing. But even then, the story had a huge impact on me. I was moved beyond words. And yes, SP certainly tried to hetishize the story along with Naruto's character, but what are a few tweaks here and there when the story itself is written to have such a large impact on the reader? The anime translated manga well to a large extent.
Fans who pay attention to the story can easily make it out honestly. Yes, some of the shit SP did was lame and biased. I don't approve it but it certainly doesn't phase me. I got Kishi's story, I experienced it to its full extent, even with anime. And it was an unparalleled experience.
Sasuke is certainly resented by some animators. I saw his design also used as fodder in the war arc. Sometimes when it's a money or time issue, animators use the same or similar designs for fodder, but Sasuke is one of the main characters, they should have been more careful about it. Itachi is glorified even in the manga. It's only Sasuke and Naruto who speak up against him or confront him. The characters in the story glorify his character more than the studio lol. And even Naruto and Sasuke end up glorifying him, defering to him or forgiving him. The Shikamaru and Chouji episodes are for fans who like side characters and want to see more of their content but of course since Naruto is the protag, his character will determine how relevant they will be, which leads to writers writing Naruto out of character to suit their objective. Of course, they could have done it smartly without making Naruto ooc, but good storytelling takes time and talent, which perhaps was in deficit at the time, studios work at a breakneck pace. I honestly don't know what the hiring procedure is like, I mean if SJ can hire someone like Esaka...
I don't think there will be an anime reboot. Honestly they should have stopped at Shippuden. But I think they have received their lesson. Kishi doesn't seem enthused about Boruto and even diehard anime fans mock Boruto. I don't think anyone wants an extension of this franchise anymore except for select Borutards.

When I Was In Elementary School
Evening
Today, I have story from the past🌻
I think people can talk about times, from when one was in elementary school in an interesting way,
But I really have no memory of it…🤦🏻‍♀️
Even if I remember its a fragmented picture…🤦🏻‍♀️
My memories of first grade are, When I think of a scene like, Walking down a corridor being like, I want to do cheer!…
I don't have any memories from 2nd or 3rd grade()
There was a game I was really into in 4th grade, 👻👻lol I have memory of doing that, and playing S-Ken in the schoolyard…
I have a bit deeper memory of 5th and 6th grade! I was alwaysss spending time with my friends, We certainly together on a committee..? Club..?
Uwa!!!!!!
When I wrote club, Memories of Unicycle Club came back!
Uwa!!!!
I did stilts too!!!!
I also liked jumping rope on the jump pad!? And you would hit or miss the jump pad!? (Probably, it was the difference between old and new)
I think I could jump rope, I liked it✌🏻
..writing that, the box may have opened a little😂😂 lol
But thats right,
For example my memories of 10th generation, If I meet with the 10th generation and we bring up a topic I'll remember it, Its the same with Morning memories,
Also, what I do often, I'll search my blog,
as I really write a lot✍🏻 lol
As it is, today, I was searching for which artists I've seen at Rockin' in the past.. Talking about that,
🔍,, 2018 Rockin' Ishida Ayumi I wrote it out well in the blog that I searched for
.👏🏻
lol
🔍,, 2019 Rockin' Ishida Ayumi That blog, I wrote down a lot of my emotions from that time, And I didn't write down which artists I saw,
But probably, its not just on my blog, I feel like wrote it down separately, on Instagram, and on the Tokyo Sports Series🤔💭
Therefore, everyone, It must be hard to know all of the SNS as there are a lot of them~ thats what I ended up thinking lol
And in that way,
I've had many opportunities to remember, What has happened since joining Morning Musume,
Since I don't have anyone to talk about my elementary school days🫣🫣 lol
I wonder if it'll become fragmentary~~
I hope everyone is doing well 🌻suddenly
Talking about when I was a child, It'd me nice if there was something strong..🫤🫤
Thats what I thought about today lol
"When was the last time you felt inferior to someone?" If I get a questionairre with this question, I'll answer this! lol (If the question comes up suddenly I'll forget about this~ I wonder if I'll remember if I write it down~)
This was talk like, you know there was this and that! I realize its been a while🐣🐣
Thank you very much for reading this🐣🐣

if you're an au krper, please read through and give me your thoughts! i'm going crazy by myself. i kind of wish that literate and/or au krps would stop including an option for members to post sns. personally i think it kills the mood for writing threads, overall. tell me if i’m wrong though. //
(admins please only post positive things to this because i'm not trying to have any hidden agenda with this and i genuinely liked my time at insidious. maybe i left before any drama or something. i'm not willing to let my post be what brings down a krp's name)
this actually worked really well for au krps, back in the day, iirc insidious (au krp from a couple of years ago) focused much more on threads instead of sns and they had steady activity with good plot consistency and diversity for like a year. darkstt (another au krp that closed after about a year and a half) said no sns at all and it did phenomenal in terms of culture till the admins had to close it down in 2023. i still remember how tight knit that group was, they were there to WRITE you know. rupes (still around?) like darkstt didn't allow sns and the group had writing chemistry like crazy with everyone. they required paras every two months so the tl wasn't dead, which was the one thing with darkstt that made it feel super dead. i remember insidious would sometimes have like cute things everyone would do too lol, like post event fits, and both insidious and rupes having stuff on the timeline made darkstt feel a little dead, but nothing serious because you had other krps to vibe on when it was.
where insidious was much more modern and defined what i consider a genuinely literate au krp to be with its use of modern media and classic krp event ideas, darkstt felt like an old-time au krp (akin to gaia or tumblr aus), and rupes felt more like a place to find people invested in the art of writing and character development which are core aspects of krp everyone seeked to find writers enthused about, and they did so particularly with magical realism/fantasy/horror genres. which makes sense, since insidious was about classic supernatural media and exploration into that world, darkstt was about crime and city underbellies, and rupes is about purity, horror, and wonderland-like whimsy.
their admin teams reflected that too. the darkstt admin team was pretty hands-off, and only made activity posts and event posts. no one knew the admin but because they weren't super present it didn't matter, and no one had any issues with them ever, like either with the admins or the krp. their tone was always kind of kid-like but not unprofessional, just not taking themselves too seriously which broke immersion just enough (rupes too) that i felt like the place was super kind. i feel like the admins definitely set krp tones, and most old krps were like darkstt admins where being an admin was safe to make known because everyone generally supported the kid doing it. (i say kid because now i'm like 28, so everyone 18+ to 25 is a kid to me lol). i really liked this approach from this admin team because it was a low-maintenance krp as it stood, and the one time there was major drama not only did the admin handle it well, but they also made way to open a dialogue with their community and assert their decisions without being pretentious.
rupes admins don't write in their krp, but i can't think of a more accommodating and responsive, beginner-friendly admin team. they never assert themselves as more important or 'the law' and you could do whatever you wanted with their premise, even if you misinterpreted it they would find value in encouraging you to explore that. they never expected perfection from any member, and no member expected a level of writing skill, just ooc interest. i can't remember anyone in or out of the krp having anything bad to say about them which is, as all of us know now, rare (in a different way than darkstt). they have a sharp sense of humor too, and a very clear brand that they're dedicated to (in fact part of the humor was when the brand would meet their chaotic/modern humor). because of that it added to the feeling the place gave of being about the art of writing, but without expectations or judgement.
i actually looked up rupes and darkstt on this blog and nothing bad was said about either (in fact they're rare here in general) which only proves my point that krps like this feel so much different than the modern stuff because their communities are barely even here. even the stuff i found attached to insidious was minor/feels like it was way after the time of the krp itself, but a little bit of tea here or there is also part of a krp! it adds to the legends of the places you know!! a good au krp always has ooc lore to it and the members that were there, but no one ever takes it too seriously!
in insidious it was common knowledge the admin team was part of the central community, but it wasn't a bad thing! it added to that classic krp feel the place had, and they were pretty detailed and into their premise probably because they were actively writing in it too. i don't remember this team too much, just that they were super specific about people following their rules which is a totally valid admin style, especially in a literate krp. the expectations are always higher when it comes to member conduct with literate krpers, and these admins were so detailed in their announcements that it makes sense they would expect their community to follow what they basically spell out for them. this community was also like the admins, very detailed about how they liked to write, and very self-assured about their writing worth. they were very amicable and easy-going ooc, always excited to plot and offer ideas while communicating with the base admin team to make sure they were within the specifics and particulars of the influences the krp was based on. this krp had a lot of etiquette to learn because of the expectations of the members to know what they had written in their bios, but once you did it was smooth sailing and they would generally do the same for you. this meant that you carried yourself with more care, and because of that, it was a seriously literate group in a different way from darkstt (their mature and calm community never causing drama or propagating it because the focus was always writing), and rupes (their more academic pursuit of discovery in personal styles and love for exploring psychological nuance through their plots). all equally valid, although today i'm sure all three would be trashed for their communities or clear styles because they don't cater to everyone in krp and thus must be cliquey, or elitist, or dead!
even the events in these places reflected their krps: darkstt with their simple but versatile settings and references to classic crime pop culture, rupes with their beautiful, innovative and modern to gothic plots (balanced impeccably with what their community was in the mood for, which might be something easy and creative and not very in depth plot-wise), and insidious with their blend of classic and modern takes on time-tested events. bit of a tangent i know, but i picked these three because they are popular krps for their time that represent different takes on literate au mewe krps that didn't allow sns or had a community that didn't encourage/rely on it, and really did awesome with that.
so it can be done, but i feel like those same groups wouldn't do as well anymore because au krpers nowadays just seem to be into formatting blrs or accounts and chatting ooc. or worse, they just hear things from these blogs and spread them around without even bothering to realize how tone deaf that approach is.
modern au krpers get a lot of self importance from having such harsh, critical opinions of krps in my opinion.
these groups were definitely for the people who were looking for a place to stay through all the seasons of their life, both busy and still, and i think they all allowed triggers to be written that it feels like krp would take issue with, despite them being handled correctly.
also, nowadays i think people like the aesthetic of writing literate, but forget that literate doesn't mean darker/detailed/smarter plots. it means more writing. semilit used to have characters and plots just as complicated and cool, but without as much writing. you're expected to write in literate krps, and plot over ooc connections. jesus. or, i see literate krpers making responses that should be 200 - 300 words like 600 words! everything is filler! it's all backwards.
i think there's also very aggressive and obvious jealousy or competition between krps today sometimes. people from one group will shit on another for no reason, just because they're viewing everything as politics. gone are the days where everyone joined all the krps and shared their spaces, you know!
for context, when i used to au krp, everyone would join two or three krps, because when one would be dead they'd have the other two to keep writing in, and then when they'd be quieter, the other one would be popping again. nowadays no one's really into that i feel like.
i also think nowadays it's seen as cliquey to be in a group with people that have stayed in a group for a long time. but back in the day that was kind the point? like every krp had a community, and you could invest into one ooc to join their community or just vibe in their orbit and write with their muses. and if you tried hella to join a community and it wasn't working, they're just not your vibe & you can choose to leave. krps are so unique, their communities are too. none of us get along well with everyone we're paired with for irl group projects right. but it wasn't a requirement you know.
at all three of the krps i mentioned i was a writer in orbit, but i saw people bring others into their little communities all the time because you'd see new names consistently in the ooc chats you know. it was my favorite to see writers i knew in one of the krps join another one, you could tell because their style was so influenced by their community elsewhere but would grow from their immersion in the new one they added to their krp roster. unlikely writing-style muns meeting and becoming friends too.
i never went without plots at any krp, i had eight to twelve plots in all the groups overall even if i wasn't quite friends with anyone ooc, and if i wanted more ooc connection i'd bring a friend into a group and that would jumpstart things back into gear. if i miswrote someone's muse they'd just tell me to fix it, i was never scared they'd think i was an asshole or an elitist empty-shelled krp writer or anything you know.
one thing i liked about darkstt and rupes was that people would always give feedback on your writing, either support or suggestions for your next piece or character development, so i never cared about emojis and whatever else. in insidious this was supplemented by the constant emojis and occasional conversation about the piece in dms with people you plotted with (which occurred at the other two also, don't get me wrong!), but in classic krp style, paras were meant for the people you plot with to really care about, which was nice release of pressure in a lot of ways too.
see how things can be good depending on your perspective? all of this is just perspective i feel like. i'm gonna take a moment here to address that i know insidious ended problematically, and while i wasn't there, i was able to see a bit of it in my look-through on this blog. they were wrong for what they did, and very very very wrong for everything at paradigm. i'm not excusing or avoiding this, i'm just mentioning my experience there to show what a genuine experience was like in the krp, without knowing any tea or whatnot. because communities that are toxic under the surface are barely noticeable when in the place itself. they're no better or worse than the other places. i also know that group took issue with many au krps, and that they tried to defame so many other groups behind the scenes or on vent blogs, and that some people reading this will be influenced by that and not believe what i'm saying. i don't care to talk to sheep though, and they know they're sheep if they haven't been in a krp and have such a strong opinion they refuse to join. they're literally the whole problem, we all know this.
but also, in other krps, those same base communities didn't need an ooc chat to stay in the group. those were the quiet ones, which were always a welcome addition to the collection you join you know. one busy au, one chaotic gen, one quiet au or gen that you know will be around forever, and will have people in it forever that might be quiet but will always have awesome brains to plot with. in fact it was always nice whenever everyone seemed to be back and kicking, usually when that quiet au got a bunch of new members. and if the old quiet group was still... old and quiet, it also didn't matter because the new groups would become the new base. just like that though, the opposite (with darkstt) was great too, it was all about the writing, not about krp or art and just about plotting and making chaos. the focus was nice.
like idk, things are so different now. coming back to krp is just... it's no longer anything it used to be. every krp from back in the day would be called cliquey and elitist. those words have simply lost all meaning. no one is ever meant to write with everyone in the krp. you find a couple people, and you settle, and that's chill!!
so my point is in modern au krp, it's much more like fast food, kind of like how all our social media is becoming hyper-addictive (short form content everywhere, youtube shorts, insta reels, you can't even filter those functions anymore, sometimes the app just opens you to it. or they will show you those short form contents in your searches even to draw you in). until there's a return to reading being the source of dopamine (delayed gratification/resistance to immediate dopamine) we go to for escapism, i feel like these groups will never be joined.
the majority of krp today in the literate communities are all people with writing skill not realizing how inconsistent muse and flow state are. they just mistake it for being dead, or loss of muse, or take every move too seriously and decide things are being implied ooc when they aren't. like that ridiculous exchange i read about while looking through the proof here, of a college student berating someone for wasting their time who (i assume works) said less than a week is not enough time for receiving krp feedback! it would be unheard of in my day to try to do anything in less than a week.
the glory days of krp in the literate world died with the era these came from, right around/during quarantine. they began in 2016 or 2017. i probably sound like an old hag, please forgive me if i've misstepped, i'm not all the way caught up on modern krp etiquette.
we'll only post positive/constructive (with discretion) responses to this!

Kaaaay, it seems I will be adding more to this mini-series. ~
Tumblr media
=
Tumblr media
Sweetness Overload!!!!!!!!!! My heart is dancing. ♫
...
Tumblr media
It's only fair now we have Tsu & Nene edition.
And between that and this, so sorry, I choose my Tsu & Nene one because that one... oh... it overflows with sweetness, it's soooo fluffy, I can't!!! I have my issues with you Hanako, can't see you as cute as these 2 pure sweet little angels. I want to take them in a crushing hug!
Such a mood my Tsu & Nene have around them... let little Nene help me reflect my feeling toward it herself. ^^
Tumblr media
💜🩵✨
I believe I can fly... over the rainbow. ~🌈 *finger snap* 1-2-3- here we go... 🎶 such a mood I'm having in there, no doubt that's their song, they have the power to make you fly, float in the sky, go beyond the coulds, land on a sweet fluffy rainbow.
And the nice thing is that we're getting some nice amount of them in arts (2 adorable twitter headers in a row!), manga, lately. MORE!!! Ahem, not me waiting for her to go 'play' with him. looking at the clock as I "petantly" wait: tick tock tick tock.
Now, let's talk about the art itself... staaaarting with Tsuuu!!!
Tumblr media
The fashionable boy. ~ Stay stylish. ~ can this betaken as the first time, assumingly, we see 'yorishiro' Tsu without his hat? he is handsome in both cases. hahaha
Tsu, Tsu, Tsu, what are those? ~
Tumblr media
Shiny.. shiny... sparkle! ✨
Oh, my... this is so cute!! This is so cute!!! You're so cute, I can't!!! let me style your hair, toooo!!!!! Ahem, it's funny, just thinking... wow... AidaIro... you don't just look at some conversations of mine and make them come true at times, but you also sneak into my head and read my thoughts?! how come you knew I wanted to see Tsu with those? especially the bear shaped ones? and made him look just as cute as I imagined him? hmmm? ~
The bear has a red ribbon, hmm? ~ cute purple ribbon there, blue hair clip with a cloud, stars, and your mokke and another red hair clip, awwwww!!!
And, those?
Tumblr media
You're just adorable, you know that? AWWWWW!!! With all you have on you... you look fabulous!!! Again, I see you have a color schemes. ~ Remembering a SN line out of the blue, "the bandages are for me to look dashing, not because I have injuries". Ooooooh!!!!
A car instead of a train, Tsu?~
And, well... look at the ice cream you're offering, with your color and his... thank you, it tasted really good, the purple part especially. ~
Full view...
Tumblr media
Fabulous... just perfect... Tsukasa... always in shape. ......... easy on my heart.
....
How?! How can someone be so cute YET so cool at the same time?! Simple yet WILD at the same time?! HOW?! What is your secret, Tsu?! Or is it that... you're so Tsukasa???
Uhhhh, your gorgeous eyes... your confident gaze... raised eyebrow... face resting on your palm... wide relaxed smile... adorable yet wild fangs showing out... you're so relaxed, so confident, so unbothered, so easy-going, so full of yourself, so cool, so chill, SO DASHING!!!! SO MISCHIEVOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BOOOOOY!!!!!!!! YOUR TSUKASA AURA IS TOO MUCH FOR ME!!!!!!!!! I'm about to start crying... oh my.... this boy is... this boy IS... cutely sly...!!! charmingly mischievous!!! cunning little foxie!!!
WOW, WOW, YOU'RE WOW!!!!!!!!
Regarding his 'style' ... I seriously want to see the rest of his outfit..... casual boy style... and... I'm a bit unsatisfied with the color of his top... but overall he looks perfect, too!!!
Ahem, moving on...
The core of this post isssssss...... Tsu & Nene Hairstyle Time!!!!!
Sooooo, the very moment I saw this art, it came to me "oh, so it's not only Amane who likes to play with Tsu's soft gourgous hair, we have Nene, too. It's her time to shine now! Fair enough! I'm more convinced than ever now that Tsukasa's hair IS magical." And, oh!!! She did him so well!!!! I'm impressed!!!
On the other hand, he did her really well, too!!!
Tumblr media
Uhhhhh, she looks adorable!!! In full view, just perfect!!
Dunno, but I've always headcanoned that Tsu likes this hairstyle of Nene's the most! And, as I see it, he moved to style her hair just like that! Can't have enough of the cute blue ribbons!! The little rabbit/mokke? clip!! But Tsuuu!!! you could have added more hair clips!!!! Maybe made her look like this version of hers.
Tumblr media
But well, maybe a sense of 'simplify' is better. She looks perfect just the way she is there! Good job, Tsu!
For a moment, after seeing Nene's beautiful nail polish yes, more Nene like this, she deserves this, not only other girls, but her, too! I lived to witness her like this, oh!, I went to look at Tsu's nails... to see whether they are purple or not, but well, I found the usual. He is awesome just the way he is. ~ It's that I couldn't help but wonder if she were going to do the same she did for Hanako with him, too.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Well, Tsu & Nene still shared a thing I love muuuuuuuuch better, the other I don't really care much about.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And they did it better than HanaNene. They match better in there. ~ Oh, they are in fact, so in sync... perfect talents they have when they are with each other. ~
Tumblr media
💜🩵
Now, let's bring the guy we mentioned up. ~ The thing these two cuties are doing is...
Offering you a part of my heart, in the form of a sweet, heartwarming ice cream. ~
Sooo, which one shall you choose? ~
One goes so chill about it, a tease of a little brother, "come on, you wanna have a spoon? ~"
The other is so cutely eager about it, "here! have some!"
Haha, how is the weather around you? ~

👀 Not the twins matching with their shirts, one has T and the other H on his. ~ Nene does have her N, too. why would Hanako have his shirt closely matching with his color and Tsu not. =_= and wow, his ice cream is so simple and plain... Amane.
Back on topic, which shall you choose, guy with the DOUBLE heart attacks? ~ can't handle ALL the curtness your lovelies come with, can you? you're so weak to that, are you not?~
We know the answer, don't we?
Both. ~ The two formed a team to please you, after all. ~ And you won't only have a taste, you'll devour the whole ice cream they have. You have such a good appetite after all. ~ A small taste won't ever be enough, it will drive you to want more, and more, and more. I can see a part of the reason you're taken aback in there, maybe trying hard to keep your racing heart and whole being calm. A taste of some ice cream to make you cool down, yet at the same time kindles flames within you. ~ He'll also be a good boy and offer the 2 some of his. It's only fair that way. ~
Speaking of fairness, we surely got to see some nice examples of that here.
And here, for a bit more, so you won't feel left out in this game with the 2, we know how that gets you feeling. ~
Tumblr media
Maybe someday, we can hope to see the three of them sharing fun together, doing hairstyles of each other, matching with lots and lots of things.
Many games with various options of mix and match with the three of them on stage. ☆
Tumblr media
Been thinking a lot about Tsukasa's cool hairstyle in here... what gets to me is that he is not the one to style his hair this way in this AU, but rather...
Tumblr media
It's his big bro. A really sweet gesture from our beloved big brother! ♡
A head pat and hair stroke turned into giving little bro a fashionable hairstyle. - Tsukasa's hair is so soft and beautiful. Oh, I know! Want big brother to make it even more beautiful than it already is? - ??? sure... if Amane wants. .. and that's how it started.
I will go and say, this thing is canon to me. Thanks for hearing me out. ~

2022-12-16 “Can Ikeda Teresa see the dream of Teresa-panda?” [ENG]
Ahhh I can’t ever wake up for this dream, I’m pretty sure was a song that I sang on the first broadcast of New Nogizaka Star Tnajou. I had only just debuted and at that time that was the first time I had appeared on tv.
We wore this cute outfit, and sang while dancing… and watching myself in the screen I thought to my self “is being an idol really just a dream?”
I barely made it into the auditions for a group that I longed to join, Nogizaka46. It was then that my dream started and since then I’ve been unable to wake up from it.
I’ve spotted a Teresa-panda! 📷
It’s a picture I took for the joint second and third issue of Young Magazine 🤍
Sorry for being so slow in saying it..
 Hello I’m Nogizaka46’s 5th generation member Ikeda Teresa 🐼
Thank you as always for giving me the opportunity to write these blogs, if you like please read until the very end! (I wonder if you will…)
IN the issue of Young Magazine that is currently on sale there are pictures of me, Ikeda, Kuu-chan and Hii-chan. (●︎´▽︎`●︎)
The three of us sleeping😪😴💤。。
To be able to be doing a lot of magazine shoots is something that most idols aim for. I don’t know anything about this line of work, but since joining Nogizaka as an idol I’ve come to know the world and the jobs that come with being an idol.
Appearing on TV, being published in magazines, radio, SNS and stream about myself…
It’s amazing.
I’m still a million miles away from reaching my senior members, and I don’t even feel like I’m close to reaching the other 5th generation members. They’re overflowing with talent, they’re cute and on top of that they’re hard workers. No matter how much effort I put in it’s still very difficult to catch up to them.
 New Nogizaka Star Tanjou! LIVE in Kobe, I was asked to do the vocals for JUDY AND MARY and YUKI-sa’'s ‘JOY’. Ever since it was decided that I would be performing this song I was very worried, happy, delighted and pained.
For me this is an important song. Deep inside, I feel like I did the best that I could at the level I’m currently at and I gave it my all.
I hope you were able to smile and enjoy my final song that I will be singing this year.
〜〜〜
🤍Online meet and greet
I’m looking forward to it.
The next closest one is going to be on Christmas Day, December 25th!!!! For this day I’ve bought a lot of things (≧∀≦)
To tell you the truth I wish that we could’ve gone shopping together, I wanted to pick some clothes out for you to try on. .
Ehehe let’s enjoy it!
 〜〜〜
🤍TV 📺  ̖́-
“Kotoge Eiji no nante bi da!”
Every Tuesday evenings at midnight!
This episode will finish up the segment of city design…
Umm, Uguisudani, I didn’t think that it would be such a stupid answer. Tokyo Kanda Akihabara, when I started the Yamanote-sen song I started listing off all the station names in quick succession and I had an image of all the station but Uguisundani is Uguisu and it doesn’t really fit does it…?
After that the picture that won the prize. Looking back, the yellow zebra in the meadow I drew a little big. Each ward is a ward but the ward I live in was supposedly a protection ward? Lol
 The next topic is going to be “Hairstyle” and it will air on December 20th, Please look forward to it 💇🏻✂️🤍
I’m thinking of going back to short hair 〜(  ◜𖥦◝  )
“Nogizaka Under Construction”
Every Sunday at Midnight!
Asuka-san’s graduation project, all the messages from the members were very warm and kind…
“Thank you very machine for your hard work”
The nickname Asuka gave me will be one that I will treasure.
To think that she knew about this blog… kyaaaaaa I’m so glad I’m so happy
From here on this “thank you very machine for you hard work” will be going full throttle!
With these big eyes I’m going to shoot down all of you ^_−☆
“Kanarin no top me toreru Kana?”
Ikeda will be appearing on January 28th next year. This will be my first time appearing alongside Nakada Kana-san. Please look after me. 🀄🤍
Right now I’m currently trying to learn how to play Mahjong… But I can’t even make a hand yet!!!! 😭💦
Someone please teach me..
I heard that Aruno did a ‘Nakada Kana (san) shika” call on the program, I’m so jealous. I hope that I’ll be able to do that one day.
At the 2020 TV Tokyo Music Festival Nakada-san centered Oide Shampoo, it was an iconic moment.
“New Nogizaka Star Tanjou!”
Every Monday at 25:29-25:59!
We still have the New Nogizaka Star Tanjou! LIVE matinee and soiree performances to go. Apparently that’s what they are called, I kind of like it 🤍
The Soiree performance in Yokohama|ω•๑`)
We went on the stage after the performance had ended and the silence that greeted us was different from the one before we went on the stage, it was very moving!
Also watch the teardown after the performance was really depressing ( ; ; )
But I need to make sure to bring my equipment and emotions to Kobe, wait for us Kobe!!!
 🤍Radio📻  ̖́-
“Chinmoku no kinyoubi”
I appeared on the December 9th broadcast (●︎´▽︎`●︎)
For some reason ChinKin is…. When I spoke to them it was like ‘finally’, I’ve mentioned it on the blog, and I’ve talked a lot about it with the staff.
Yumiki-san, new old man (is what I’ve been allowed to call her) who appeared on Nogizaka Under Construction and New Nogizaka Star Tanjou as a guest, out of all the senior members she is the one that I feel like I can get the closest to, want to be the closest to!
Because of ChinKin I feel like we’ve become even closer than before, I’m so glad 😭💕
(I’ve honestly listened to some of the old broadcasts and I was a little scared) Arupii’s Hirako-san and Sakai-san are really kind, it was honestly so much fun. Thank you very much!
I’ll be conserving my power until I go on again..
 “Recomen!”
Next week on December 21st at 22:00-25:00!
The two 5th generation members that will be taking on this challenge are Sakusakupanda❤️‍🔥
This time we’ll be able to work alongside Tamura Mayu-san, I’m really looking forward to it(((o(*゚▽゚*)o)))
I hope that we’ll be able to get closer with this opportunity..
 The other day while I was listening to Kubo Shiori’s LINELIVE, my name came up all of a sudden and I felt my heart fly into my mouth. Tere-pan…is honestly…….. For some reason, ehe, I became really happy aaaaahhhh ^^
When Satsuki-chan went to eat with Tamura-san and Hayakawa-san, suddenly “I’m currently a Teresa Oshi” she said with a strange smug look on her face, what the hell is she… is what I though but this is what happened.
 Satssuukkiii-chaaaan???/

 “BOMB”
I did a shoot with Aya 🍅🤍
The combo of the oldest and youngest members of the 5th generation ( ῀ᢦ῀ )
It’s the first time we’ve ever done a gravure together and I was really looking forward to it, we’ve been a pair since BanHaga!
We ate salad and Aya had her favorite tomatoes and I had my favorite shrimp, I was super happy エェェビィィ(「🦐・ω・)「🦐
I also drew a caricature of Aya so make sure to look for that.
 The fact that I was able to be in so many magazines like this was no matter of a fact thing, it’s all thanks to everyone who kept on buying these magazines, who requested me in the surveys, and because you supported me.
You’re not princes at all but like the gods themselves!!!!!
Because I was bestowed with the name of Nogziaka46, because of that I’m going to work hard to give birth to even more fans 💪🏽( ¨̮ 💪🏽)

(Translation: Thank you always commenting! (I feel like my feelings have reached you ) Your support gives me the power to keep working hard. I’m going to keep working hard, I love you! Teresa)
You always support my heart
 💌
Good work during the 2 day concert at Pia Arena, your hairstyle over those two days were super adorable! Though I think you’ve been told that already, but I still wanted to say it just in case no one has told you (  ˙꒳​˙  )キリッ
(Blog name: Abe-chan)
🤍
I’m so glad, thank you very much!
After consulting with the manager we were able to attack the line at the very last minute 👊🏻
💌
Right after joining Teresa-chan drew a really cute picture in the documentary, and so I was wondering, when you draw do you have nothing in your head or are you full of idea?
I’m really bad at drawing and I never draw so I’m interested if you spend a long time thinking (Although I know you said that you listen to the same music on repeat in the documentary)
(blog name: Asamushi)
🤍You watched the documentary! Thank you very much, I’m so glad 😭😭
I did a documentary for the 29th single, which was almost a year ago now, and a lot of people have told me at meet and greets that this was how they came to like me, I’m so glad! Personally it’s a little bit of a dark past but… it’s so real lol
It so bad you laugh isn’t it, I’m trying to hid now (Praise mee! Lol)
 I kind of went of on a tangent, what do I think about when I draw, hmmm… I probably do when I’m doing rough sketches but when I draw I used to draw in drawing class it was right next to the railway track and so when I draw I think “ughhhhhh so louuuuuuuud” every time a train went by
 💌The outfit for 17funkan, is it made so that when you spin when you dance it doesn’t put you off balance while still looking beautiful?
IF you have any other secret stories regarding outfits please let us know
(Blog name: Tyrannosaurus T-Rex)
🤍
The length of the outfit was actually really long! Below the knee I would say. On the day of the shoot, they did a fitting and adjusted it then. Long version, short version and in the end they went with what they have now which is short in the front long in the back
💌
Speaking of which, Kotoge-san doubt the fact that you read all your blog comment… do you really read them all???
(blog name: Yashiyashi no mi)
I tell you I read them and I do 😤😠😡💢(← I typed in angry and this came up lol I’m glad they have realism)

I want everyone to try the karaage sticks that they have at seven eleven, I’m so glad ⸜‪‪‪‪‪︎🐣⸝ (It’s this little one’s future)
A strange hobby or addiction… hmmm… I’m not sure, the popularity of voice messages has died down but during the voice messages we end up putting in sound effect.
I guess the color of the month is to make our text messages more colorful ꉂꉂ📣😬💬
💌I watched ‘Nante bi da!” (●︎´▽︎`●︎)
I’m so glad I was able to learn about city design ♡
It wasn’t on the broadcast but I was wondering what Teresa-chan’s favorite station is?
(Blog name: Urararara)
🤍
A long time ago I liked Harajuku station
A funny station name that I just remembered is Hassamu-chuo station! It’s in Hokkaido, I can freeze to death from the name alone :(  '-'   ):🖤
💌What’s a topping that you need to have on Monja!?
(Blog name: Kobe mo mijioroshi)
🤍Mentai mochi cheese?

It seems as though you can change the size of the font on the blog, is it ok for me to display what I’m thinking in big characters?

🤍Just reading this gave Ikeda a bump on the head, take responsibility for this
💌What’s your favorite burger at McDonalds
🤍
The I wasn’t able to eat the Tsukimi burger that was out ~tears
Samurai mac, Yoru burger’s Teriyaki chicken fillet with two patties are really good. (◍🍖▽🍖◍)
💌Do Yaruno if you had a different nickname that was given to you?
(blog name: sausage malmetano)
🤍Teretsuan is what some kids called me. Even the games I had back in that day that had four characters were Te Re Tsu a.
💌
I’m looking forward to the next blog. I’m so glad that you also like Yoawamushi Pedal! While reading this blog, Midousuji-kun’s “isn’t it better to be good at doing one thing than just doing 100!!” is a word that I’m reminded of. Teresa-chan please tell me your favorite character or favorite episode!
(Blog name: Norimaki)
🤍There are so many wonderful character that come out it’s hard to make a good list…(>_<)
But I do like Teshima after all. There are so many geniuses at Sohoku but because he sees himself as a normal person the way he pedals overlaps, but he isn’t really an average person he’s a genius at working hard.
There’s also a saying that I really like from a volley ball manga called “shoujo fight” and that is “the mind is more powerful than ability”.
💌Question
1, During the last meet and greet on the fixed camera the 5th generation members were chatting and I can’t seem to choose which is the best member, are you okay with having someone that oshis many other members?
2, I’ve carefully watched all of Kamen Rider Geo and nothing else and I was wondering if it is okay for me ask about it at the meet and greet? I would be very happy if you could tell me your favorite Kamen Rider. I’m interested in watching Kamen Rider Decade!
(blog name: Unmei)
🤍
1, ( ・ ・̥ )
If I said no could you stop? You’re such an idiot!!!!
2, I’m still in the process of completing Decade… (>_<) I feel like it’s hard to persist if you haven’t followed the 1 season of the Heishi Kamen Rider era!
I personally really like the flow from Build → Geo… Sento and Banjo look like they’re having so much fun, I’ve cried for various reason and I was watching it in real time then 🐰
💌What should I talk about when I only have one ticket to the meet and greet?
(Blog name: Kageboushi)
🤍chuu〜(ノ´³`)ノ 
💌Teresa-chan do you like Ponzu?
(blog name: Mirin)
Ponzu or vinegar with plenty of pepper!!!! 🥟
💌Tere-pan what’s your favorite flavor of cake? I like chocolate cake that is a little on the bitter side!
(blog name: Sun no kai sen no kai!)
🤍Ikeda has a sweet tooth, custard cream and strawberry tart fusion is the best 🍓🤍
💌Regarding the national handshake event… Teresa-chan was always in a three person lane and so I used my ticket elsewhere. I’m so sorry, can you please scold me?
(blog name: Bonjour)
🤍I’ll deal with you
The judgment is… the penalty of a spanking!!!
💌
What do you always do at the end and beginning of the year? On New Year's Eve I have sukiyaki, on New Year's Day I have zouni. I haven’t done this recently but I also do Mochitsuki.
 🤍I have a big mallet for making mochi, it’s so cool isn’t it ‪(  ᵒ̴̷͈ωᵒ̴̶̷͈ )✨️
I eat both sukiyaki and zouni at the beginning of the year, when I gome home my grandmother make it for me. I really like taro and daikon
💌
Today I learned that the longest line in a hiragana character is ‘nu’ ぬ

Good evening Teresa-chan💚🤍
All day I’ve felt like I needed to comment on your blog and so now I’m writing it in a panic, why all day you ask? There really isn’t any reason, but I just want my feelings to reach you.

You are correct! Here is 5 million Tere-points🖐🏻
💌
I bought 8 first edition versions of “koko ni ha nai mono” and I picked them up and opened them yesterday and I got a Tere-pan!
To tell you the truth this is the 3rd single in a row that I pulled you, isn’t that amazing?

This must be fate!!! It also must be fate to have on of my fans pull the photo that they wanted! eheheh
💌
Do you like black or white cream?
(Blog name: Short Konto ‘cake’)
🤍Yellow, Crème patisserie really resonates almost like the name of a last boss… or should I say custard cream ehe
💌Do you like sweet or salty fried eggs?
(Blog name: Bambietta Bestervine)
🤍
My recommended recipe! 2 eggs, one tablespoon of white dashi, 2 tablespoons of sugar, it’s not that sweet and so overall it’s a little sweet and salty
The main point is to reduce washing the flavor by adding sugar first😎👍🏻 ̖́-
I’ve eaten the eggs of my ducks, boiled eggs are delicious
💌
Are you good with spicy food? Do you like it?
(Blog name: Caramelize Taro-kun)

(Blog name: mee)
🤍
Recently I’ve been wearing green colored western clothes
I keep on buying monotone clothing, it’s a disease so I need to keep an eye out for it (>_<;)
💌
On the previous episode of ‘Nante Bi Da!’ I wore our outfit! And at the meet and greet someone came wearing the same outfit, I was so happy 💚

What’s your favorite oden ingredient?

We recently started doing basketball in P.E. and I tried dribbling but it was really awkward and people were laughing at me 〜😭
For an experienced basketball player like yourself what do you think is a good way to look cool while dribbling?
(blog name: Merutii)
🤍
First work on your handling in order to make sure that the ball doesn’t leave your hand!
After that make sure your hips are positioned well and dribble like you’re kneading dough. Once you’re able to keep that up get lower and practice dribbling the ball closer to the ground!!!!
So when you start running with the ball it should go the way you want…probably 🤔💭
💌In order to see a good view one should…?

2, What do you always eat for breakfast?
3, Teresa-chan’s meet and greet, when it becomes my number I get nervous and I can’t speak properly, is there a way to get over this?
4, I love you Teresa-chan ♡ 
When I got up there were 1600 comments, congratulations
(blog name: Yuuki no suzu)
🤍
Thank you for the comment, I also love you.
1, I have a grey and checkered one and a red muffler, but I don’t think I’ve really used it that much this season.
2, today I had a crab karaage with a hamburger in between (🍔•᎑•🍔), it was delicious but a bit much for an empty stomach sweats
3, Why not try making cue cards??? Not matter what you’ll talk about it’ll make me reaaaaalllly happy

The day I met Ito Marika-san
The other day I  went to Ito Marika-san’s solo exhibition “MARIKA ITO LIKEA EXHIBITION LIKEA” 🎧✂️
The second I entered the appearance of the world was so powerful and the level of perfection really charmed me.
It was so bright, on top of that the control of the colors and images and together with the still images and her expression were amazing.
Ito-san’s individual PV and the art she did while being a member even before I joined is something I really looked up to.
After joining, I drew self portraits, and because I liked looking at it I listened to a lot of Ito-san’s stories.
 And I’m so glad that I was able to go see this solo-exhibition!
I haven’t seen her since the 10th YEAR BIRTHDAY LIVE, and this is the first time I’ve talked to her, she was so kind, and on top of that she’s like so absolutely downright beautiful (  ᵒ̴̷͈ωᵒ̴̶̷͈ )✨️
Each page of the illustrated book had a different aura to it, thank you for kindly welcoming me.
 I’ve been to many exhibitions for people that I know, but it’s been a long time since I’ve been swallowed up by such powerful repesenations. Having that sensation was really nostalgic!
Ever since becoming an idol this world is something that I forgot about, which one is really my true reality? Where are my dreams? I became kind of lost
(For me they’re both important and amazing things in my life)
But, when I don’t know something, other people pull my hand and I know they’ll bring me down the right path.
I love you allllllllllll
 ON the way home from Shibuya Parco, I went by Oslwald Ito-san’s regular Chinese restaurant
There were so many people there I couldn’t get in, it looks so good though ( ´ ཫ ` )slurp

some thoughts about Stultifera Navis’s armature 3 ft. Spalter op rec
Tumblr media
Part 1 here / Part 2 here
Part 3 of my stupidity and also probably the post most people will be interested in because I accidentally translated the entirety of Spalter’s op rec before I wrote this so I will stick it somewhere...I tried to cover the skaspec dynamic as it went through the event but this is definitely not an exhaustive rundown of their interactions
Spoilers for Stultifera Navis as usual and the op rec
ok first things first There’s a parasite in my brain being like "you know your post sounded kinda ableist lol, you know it yourself that even getting through the day is already hard enough sometimes and you still want to ‘better myself’ lmao" yes yes calm down other me and anyone else I will explain
Basically I think there was a ‘mindless consooming is not good’ message but more importantly,
Recognising issues that aren’t outwardly destructive or seem minor at first glance are still issues worth trying to figure out/improve on: ie. I wish I could have read this story a good 10+ years ago instead of just being like “Well I don’t feel like jumping down a window so I’m fine! I’m fine! (is actually fucking depressed)” and only realise from some random tweet on the bird app that actually, not wanting to live can also be considered being suicidal. Wowza ok back on topic
1 Be cringe and be free
At the beginning of SN Skadi is fretting over Specter’s phasing between her different selves and asking if Gladiia really had to bring her along with them on their journey.
Tumblr media
Sometimes when we’re dealing with someone that needs help, when we help them, we forget that they’re still their own person. And then Gladiia says this banger of a line:
Tumblr media
BUH BUH BASED?? That’s right this was a swordfish appreciation post after all haha gotcha!! But really though, as Specter gets more and more of her memories back Gladiia is like “nice” but also says they’ll wait for her old self to come back,
Tumblr media
And that she’s the same as them, she’s no less normal as they are.
Tumblr media
It's not like she's completely 'fine' either; she still struggles with it as they head towards the Ship of Fools ™
Tumblr media Tumblr media
o..i love abyssal hunters…. let’s get back on topic
On the boat she finally returns to her ‘old’ self, but says that she doesn’t really mind her nun-sona:
Tumblr media
It’s not a real or fake thing, they’re both valid identities to her, she just likes one more.
Tumblr media
And even thanks one of the deep-sea cultists for how she ended up like she is now
Tumblr media
And outright says that being un-normal is okay!
Tumblr media
2 Take it easy
As someone who feels compelled to always spend their time wisely and productively, stories with a ‘its ok to do useless things they're part of life’ message always hit me hard so let's dive(hehe) into Specter’s Operator Record:
In SN Specter says that Gladiia taught her how to dance from when she was small, and the op rec opens with her induction into the Abyssal Hunters
Tumblr media
And teaches her how to dance.
It then cuts to Gran Faro after the events of SN where now Specter is teaching Skadi how to dance and then also asks her to teach herself how to sing.
Tumblr media
They practice for a moment before Gladiia shows up and tells Skadi that Kalt’sit wants some more tests done, so she leaves for that and our swordfish and shark go for a walk.
While admiring a rocky outcropping with Gladiia, who just sees the rock as “abstract”, Specter offers an alternative; it is beautiful, because its a “coincidence created by time and nature,” as opposed to how statues in Aegir are made; rigid, troublesome, takes a lot of time and resources.
As if they momentarily switch positions of teacher and student, Specter offers Gladiia to try a kind of scale fin snack. Gladiia deems it unnecessary, which Specter agrees to, but offers again anyway.
Tumblr media
It may not provide any practical use, but is useful in other ways.
She talks about the beauty of everyday occurrences in nature:
Tumblr media
And then invites Gladiia for a dance with them using each other’s names instead of their titles or nicknames:
Tumblr media
The temporary erasing of the responsibility of being Abyssal Hunters, the suspension of superior-subordinate hierarchy, a moment shared between just two regular “daughters of the ocean” !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sometimes we forget that we can enjoy the most trivial things. Sometimes that smallest useless thing can be what keeps you from falling into the abyss. I know this too personally cough
Gladiia goes back to work and Specter spots Irene heading towards the lighthouse, and follows our little birdie–
Tumblr media
Sike surprise rant time. Nevermind the fact during the whole story till the end Specter mostly sees Irene like a little pet bird to play around with, people can ship whatever you want(ther was a really great scene towards the end of the main story too actually), but I’m so fucking tired of EN-only children and their selective reading completely missing the point that Irene basically just went back to her father figure++'s grave(Remember the cool head Inquisitor from UT? He ded) to try and connect to him again because she felt lost and Specter was like cheering her up and these people are just being like GIRLS BE FRUITY!!
Don’t get me wrong either they look cute together but that is probably the worst fucking possible moment to do this. Imagine going to someone's grave and his daughter is standing with someone pretty next to the grave mourning/talking and your reaction is haha don’t they look so gay together!
Before anyone pulls a “It’s not our fault we can’t read CN to read the entire SN to find out he died there!” They literally mention it explicitly in the op rec so you didn’t even have to read the entirety of SN in the first place:
Tumblr media
Specter plays with her for a bit trying to cheer her up, but also imparts a very important lesson:
Tumblr media
Perhaps I am over reacting because this part hit me the hardest out of all the entire event 😄 I kept wondering if it was wise to keep this whole thing but you know what. it’s my own blog and how can I write about being cringe and free and then do the exact opposite
Before they part, Specter reintroduces herself as the 2 different identities she has now, but it’s not the shark and the nun:
Tumblr media
Specter and the Aegirian; her duty and destiny intertwined into one that she cannot and will not escape from, but also herself.
Conclusion: I was trying to install a dark theme on my google sheets I use for translation and this came up and i thought it was very apt so here it is
Tumblr media
In Specter1′s second op rec(en loc called it “I, Namely I” but idk I think “I am Me” is more succinct and to the point...) she sings a song (and sings it again in SN)
When she prayed♪The stars ceased to shimmer♪
And when she wept♪The night let out a smile♪
And as she lamented♪The anguish sprawled upon her madness♪
At the end of this op rec she sings it again but puts her own spin on it
When I pray ♪The stars ascend into the night♪
When I dance♪The two moons shed their black veils♪
When I smile♪The sea will witness my joy♪
Man I love stories about coping and dealing with trauma and taking agency;
Nihilism vs Existentialism;
Nothing in life matters! (derogratory) vs Nothing in life matters! (affectionate)
If you like stories like that a very recent and very accessible exploration of this is the kino of the year; Everything Everywhere All At Once yes the whole point of this was to make people go watch it (iirc digital release is next month or so so it should be even more accessible)
My friends also know this too well but I cannot stop recommending Heike Monogatari, directed by Yamada Naoko of Liz and the Blue Bird fame, its only 11 episodes too, it was so good it made me trawl through the entire (modern translation) of the original war epic
Bonus AKA don’t take this seriously unless you want to I guess I cannot stop you
Skaspec is the jesus/judas of Arknights because my friend said so and I believe it (does not provide any evidence) Ok but it’s so funny that Skadi just kuudere’d Specter and comrade zoned her in the op rec lol..you do all that and you’re like “that was just my duty” ok orca
To be honest though I love how Skadi technically has the most ‘monster’ within her(she has the blood of the thing she killed back then within her) but she’s undeniably the most ‘human’ of the trio and to Specter; She misses the old Laurentina so much and wants her back so bad but she also comes to respect that Specter is also part of Laurentina, is also Laurentina herself.
Last but not least
Tumblr media

Issei Route would be too strong
A F/SN Issei route would be so good. First off, we'd get more Issei. Issei is actually a pretty fun character, he just has very little screentime. He's easy to tease. Rin is consistently in each route so she would be with them and it would be funny to have their banter back and forth. A fun bisexual love triangle (which F/SN already has). Would also be an interesting exploration of Shirou's sexism, cause now it's gonna be contrasted with Issei's different brand of sexism. Second off, bi Shirou. Would be funny to have Shirou come to terms with that, but part of me thinks that he would be barely phased at all. Like something he'd never thought about, but when the moments happened he'd be like "Oh, huh, that makes sense, feels natural". Like he'd probably blush heavily in the lovey-dovey scenes, but I feel like he'd very easily go with the flow the rest of the time and Issei would be the one blushing and reading into things too much. God, how would Archer react. Like, again, it could be something Shirou never even thought about, ever, too busy being a hero. Him watching Shirou and Issei fall in love would blow his mind. Third off, CASTER ROUTE. With Caster being true best girl of F/SN, but being already taken (sorry fellas and ladies), a route for her was never really an option. But since Issei is directly connected to her base and her partner, it gives an easy opportunity for more drama and clashes with her AND probably the best chance there'd ever be to team up with her. We'd get so much more screentime of her, we'd get to explore her trust issues, her complex about girls, etc.
It'd also just be nice for there to be more male characters that weren't antagonists. Not that's a bad thing in F/SN, just that it'd be nice for Shirou to have more positive relationships with men on screen.

yeah the denial stage is in full swing for a lot of western fans, I’ve seen many of those types of messages all across SNS along with the enlightened centrist “actually, both sides are bad!”, people falling for the DCinside’s smear campaign against Vellmori (the thought process here being if she’s given this boogeyman label then they don’t have to feel bad about what happened), the sentiment that “other games companies have done worse” (bargaining stage??) and the thought-terminating “let people enjoy things”. As you said there’s a huge amount of “we’ll just wait it out until people stop bringing it up” as if this issue will not effect how the game is created going forwards and to whom its contents will cater. The fact of the matter remains that PM immediately kowtowed to these misogynists demands and posted that they relieved vellmori of her position because of some deleted tweets. Most of us saw it happen live and it’s even in writing. Nothing will change these actions going forwards, even if they rehire her or post that they’re really sorry or whatever. It seems they have lawyered up now and have put vellmori in schcrödinger’s employment status as to not get sued.
Sadly the reality of horrific and often times fatal misogyny in south korea that this situation is now a part of is ignored by many, downplayed or brushed off again by “both sides are bad”. In a lot of “explanations” of the situation for example the writer will try to explain megalia & korean feminism in detail but more vaguely reference why these women are trying to push back. So the reader will emotionally react to some harsh sounding statements or actions from women but feel less for the more vague or flat statistics presented of misogyny in the country. Like you said I also believe people are desensitized to misogyny in the west so when they read these “extreme” sounding statements from women they see it as a “both sides are bad” situation instead of an oppressed group fighting their oppressor. If the things men actually wrote about women, the femicides, molka, extreme rates of domestic abuse and cases like the Nth room were described in detail to give westerners a fuller picture of what Korean women are dealing with I think there could possibly be less western centrist opinions. Well this is what I’ve been seeing at least, it’s frustrating to see some women’s extremely harsh words for example compared to the physical and sexual violence epidemic there by men as “both sides are wrong” so I wanted to say something. What woman has done anything on par with Nth room? I’m not going to judge their activism tactics as I don’t live there, but it’s frustrating to see the two “sides” compared like they’re both the same in terms of extreme actions.
For some I think the denial comes from a mix of guilt knowing what PM did was wrong but having “fandom” attachments to the game as I detailed above, and for others like you said they just want to “turn their brain off” (a sentiment expressed frequently in the subreddit) and consume media because they don’t see it as affecting them therefore they won’t care about it. Another sect of superfans see PM as “their brand” and will defend their actions as their own self worth depends on it. Of course I’m not saying this is everyone, and I do think it’s better to sit with your confused emotions regarding the situation and make a judgement based on that rather than not thinking about it at all and continuing to consume with your eyes and ears closed. It’s sad to see this getting swept under the rug but I agree PM will try and do just that and a lot of people will gladly go along with it as long as they get theirs. tbh for anyone reading this who’s wanting to do something else with your time I suggest creating something physical with your own hands as a hobby unrelated to “fandom” or reading the books the Limbus Company characters are modeled after if you’re missing them…
I think one of the reasons it’s hard for people to cold turkey drop being fans/consumers of a piece of contemporary media is how these “fandom” spaces on social media have been set up. you’ve got generalized spaces online (sub-reddits, tumblr, twitter, etc. I would put even those book and film review websites here and imageboards) where you can “join” a pre-existing group of friends completely based on specific pieces of media.
for those who are post-college years and perhaps more introverted, it’s easier to talk with people online in these places and you can log in 24/7. instead of making friends in a physical schooling atmosphere where you’re surrounded by other people daily for 12+ years, you can log in and make friends digitally by being surrounded by people who all consume the same piece of media as you. so your friendship is completely dependent on this piece of media for the most part.
for younger people growing up now I think this also ties into “finding yourself” where they will see consumption of a piece of media as a core tenet of their personality. I believe this is part of why there have been multiple posts about the Project Moon/Limbus Company situation that say “don’t worry whatever you choose you’re not a bad person either way.” This is also reinforced when people online comment “xyz fan” if they want to call your judgement of something into question. They have in effect assigned you a personality based on your consumption a videogame, for example. When the creators do something so ideologically opposite than what the work presents, it’s extra shocking to those fans who considered consuming the work as part of their personality. I think this way of consumption is also why, at least from what I’ve seen, there has been such a drive to label and categorize “aesthetics” into words you can search hashtags for or put in your online profile. This also has got to be a reason why people go so hard in their defense of whatever media, because they feel like when someone criticizes the media they consume they are in effect criticizing the person who consumes it. They are essentially trying to defend themselves.
When something shocking like the kowtowing to misogynistic men situation with Limbus Company, in a sense the way these “fandom” spaces work online now makes it harder for people to completely drop the game. The consumer now has online friendships and is in entire communities based completely on this media, maybe they have also even created fanart and fanfiction. For some of them it’s part of their personality. If they drop it completely they are also losing these online communities , friends and even a sense of self. I think this is a reason you will see a lot of fans ask “what fandom/game should I get into next”, they want to fill this void ASAP.
As a gacha game, Limbus further complicates this by getting the consumer into a routine they now have to break. Every day they have logged in, done the daily gameplay, even the events and gambling banners have a set schedule. These types of games typically have an ensemble cast with specific set types of personalities so fans can choose their favorite(s). As long as they make money they will keep making stories (just look at FGO), so it’s like having a never-ending story with your favorite character. It’s like a series of movies that always end with a teaser for the next one. It’s easy to get addicted, not just from the gambling aspect.
I was confused at first why other fans were having such trouble completely dropping the game because for me, it was like a switch turned off and I was able to stop caring completely. I think it’s amazing how some Korean fans have completely deleted all their fanart and even taken their fan merch back from the restaurant. But looking into how “fandom” works these days it seems this makes it harder to drop something completely. I’m not saying these are the only reasons, but it’s interesting how this works positively for companies that make these pieces of media that are up for public consumption.
