hello tumblr! big ask here but you'll be interested if you feel passionately about gender equality and media representation!!!!
for a journalism-related project I'm working on, I'm taking an interest in how women (cis and trans) are portrayed in media (as in any media and not just news, so shows, books, films, gaming, etc.) and culture. and I wanted to pick your brains on all/any of these points:
what's the first example that comes to your mind when I say "sexism in popular culture"?
what are some aspects you think are important for a better, more accurate representation of women that aren't getting covered enough by news outlets?
what do you think are essential things that some journalists and media outlets aren't understanding or don't really know that are perpetuating/contributing to mis- or lack of representation in media and culture?
do you have an example of some pieces of media (including news) that are doing it right, and presenting an accurate, non-sexist/misogynistic reflection of women?
what's the first example that comes to your mind when I say "sexism in popular culture"?
I don't who this will reach but I'm mainly interested in hearing from people who self-identity as women (esp fellow bipocs from around the world please feel free to share your thoughts, the project I'm prepping looks at things globally) + any related resources you wanna share are welcome
this is just for my personal/informal research as I'm trying to expand the way I look at this whole issue and honestly I'm really super curious to see what people have to say. thank you so much to whoever takes the time!

Introducing The Kings to Your Plushies
me and my bestie have a joke about my faves showing up to my place for sex and i would not realize and just start talking about my plushies based on this dumb post we saw once, thought it'd be funny to turn into an actual scenario lol might do this for the other devils, angels, minhyeok if the ppl are interested lol notes: mildly sexual - not really anything deeply insane, gender neutral reader !!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Satan
On one hand, he thinks you're really cute. On the other hand, he's here to fuck so.
He's going back and forth so much in his head for a moment he's not even paying attention to you talking oops.
Gets so frustrated and angered from trying to decide what to do it ultimately ends with him just jumping on you.
Cut you off mid word with an incredibly heat filled kiss from rage.
Honestly you might not even 100% be certain what happened but you're not complaining!! You can always talk about the rest of your plushies later!!!
Well. If Satan doesn't fuck you until the point you're resting for the next couple days.
Once he actually pays attention to you talking about them he'll remember some names here and there, but he will get them wrong on purpose to try and see you angry lol.
Tumblr media
Mammon
The reality is he probably got you most of these plushies.
He adores seeing how you cherish them and the lore you've decided for them!!
Will remember every single detail you tell him about them!!
He thinks it's super cute and will humor you for the moment.
However, Mammon will get what he wants eventually. But for right now you're so adorable how could he tell you no?
He is DEFINITELY teasing you later once he does get to sleep with you about how cute you are.
This man lives to see you embarrassed and shy from his compliments.
Is probably buying you even MORE plushies now, hope you're prepared for that!
Tumblr media
Leviathan
I think it depends at the point in your relationship, if it's early on he might just toss the plushies aside and get to the point of what he wants.
Later on I do think he genuinely listens, even if he's impatient and pretends like he doesn't care. If it's important to you he does care, just doesn't always show it.
Especially if you use the plushies as a form of comfort due to trauma or any other issues.
You won't even realize how much he paid attention until he refers to your plushies by their names if you accidentally leave them laying around.
However he does still get jealous so so easily so maybe try not to spend too much time at once focusing on them rather than him.
He tries so hard but eventually the jealousy will overtake him and he will just get straight to the sex.
For what it's worth, he still found you cute! He just can't help himself.
Tumblr media
Beelzebub
I'm not gonna lie, you might be able to successfully distract him for a good bit.
Dude's invested in the names and lore and anything you have created for them!!! He likes hearing about it !!!!
He isn't gonna be able to remember every single bit of these details but he might remember some of it here and there. Either way he likes listening to how you talk about them!
That being said he can only sit still for so long so maybe introduce him a little at a time lmao.
Especially because once he DOES start to get distracted he's gonna remember the original reason he was here.
And well. Yeah just like that it's time to fuck!
Because you successfully distracted him for a bit you might be in store for an extra long session this time so! Good luck!
Tumblr media
Lucifer
He listens fully. Wants to hear everything you have to say about them.
He finds the plushies super cute, so he enjoys listening to your ramblings, even if he had certain intentions when he arrived.
But most importantly, he's so endeared, you're so absolutely adorable to him. The way your face lights up when you talk about them, he can't get enough!!!!
So he lets you have your moment.
And when you're finally done is when he's actually gonna fuck you lol. Yeah, that was still happening he had a goal.
And if he's teasing you extra specially tonight, don't even worry about it (whether it be from compliments or degradation who's to say!! just know you're gonna be crying extra hard this time he's so worked up from how cute you are!).
Of course, he remembers every single detail you tell him, he has that shit committed to memory. Asks you questions sometimes to see that adorable look on your face again!
Tumblr media
Belphegor
Goodnight.
He tries to pay attention but he's ready to fall asleep apologies.
He showed up for sex and when it wasn't happening his brain turned off.
That being said the second you realize he's asleep and start trying to wake him up he's on you!!
Like okay conversation done we're fucking now right?
It's just easier to give what he wants and lecture him in the process.
It's fine he tries to listen later. That being said if he invites Beleth to listen too don't worry about it. He totally didn't tell him to memorize details for him because he's probably gonna fall asleep again.
Tumblr media
Asmodeus
Sorry there's just no way to distract this man from sex.
If he's showing up for sex he's here to for sex !!!!
And he WILL get it!!!
If anything he just starts fucking you while holding up the plushies to you and asking you details about them.
Unfortunately you're kinda too fucked out by that point to truly answer them.
He's a fucking menace apologies.
And he cannot be stopped I fear.
That being said any information he does manage to get out of you he does fully remember!!
It's his own weird way of showing affection, ya know?

i wanna draw some ideas with AU or even write smth but I feel like shit :')
I'm gonna throw some hcs here and there
Also, question for you ppl! How do you think their kids would call their fathers? I hc that Tobirama refuses to go by any motherly terms (and to break Madara's heart, he doesn't like to be called 'wife' either).
Madara of course takes the more standard position of The Father cuz clan head and all that. Tobirama is more Tobimama cuz he was with their kids the most when they were little.
But I'm asking more traditional terms. Madara as Chichiue/otou-san and Tobirama as Tou-chan and 'papa' when they're little?
Oh and some endearment terms for the pair.
Tobirama uses A LOT of them. At first to convince everyone and especially Madara himself that he is actually in love and then he actually got used to it. Madara doesn't hear his own name from his husband much lmao
Before marriage he'd call him 'Beautiful' and tease him like "Ah, you wanna dance, pretty boy?". He noticed how well Madara reacts to praise, especially of his appearance since he had an ugly duckling phase and had complexes.
Maybe later before the peace treaty and engagement he'd call Madara 'fiancé', cuz the fucker promised
When they're kids he might've call him and "Madara-chan". I mean he still has the experience from his first life and he was around kids a lot and here's little madara running around looking all small cute and funny. Ofc he's Madara-chan or at least -kun.
To be clear Tobirama probably didn't feel anything romantic towards Madara before he turned at least 16, it'd be hella wrong otherwise. Like he trained kids his age before!
But he was definitely fond of him cuz let's be honest Madara is hella cute and funny kid. That was one of the reasons why Tobirama didn't actually kill Madara when he got there. He can't just kill an innocent kid even if he has the potential to destroy the whole world.
Oh and he def called baby Izuna "-chan " just cuz he's a baby too and to see him lose his shit.
So in marriage Tobirama would call Madara lot of endearments. My love, my dear, husband dear, darling, my heart and ect.
But he doesn't like all that mush like cutie patooty or whatever. I cant imagine Tobirama even saying word 'Pookie' 😭
not here kitten whiskers daddy will discuss it later
For Madara it's an interesting story
As kids he'd try to call Tobirama "his future wife" and got thrown in the river or the river was thrown at him. He didn't get the same reaction when he called him "his future husband". Tobirama just slightly nod and Madara would be so happy for the whole day.
He'd also tried to call him beautiful once, but got shy and ran away. Maybe to go fight Hashirama to fight off frustration on himself. He's a good shinobi and he can't even compliment the boy he likes!
But he would initiate some hand holding and even hugs. Even though Hashirama REALLY didn't appreciate it. He can allow hand holding. But hugs? Hell no, "Madara get your dirty hands away from my innocent baby brother!! >:((("
"Anija, please calm down, I don't mind hugging."
"I do!"
Basically this meme but with hugs and baby Hashirama
Tumblr media
When they had the fall out and Tobirama orchestrated meetings, he didn't use any terms and tried real hard to forget and bury his feelings cuz Tobirama is an enemy (even if he looks SO good when he fights)
He's an Uchiha and it didn't work. Especially cuz Tobirama still showed a lot of interest and tried to make peace.
Maybe once Madara would try to write some angsty poems about Tobirama's beauty and grace and how they couldn't be together because they're in warring clans. He thought he sucked so much but the poems are quite decent. Tobirama would appreciate it if he finds them.
After marriage he'd call Tobirama "Blessing" a lot. NOT bc of that Blessed AU that's circulating around, but just cuz he truly feels blessed that Tobirama chose him.
Oh and he'd be proud as a peacock to call Tobirama "His husband"
But when he's overwhelmed by feelings he'd be "my wife.... WIFE" - Tobirama really doesn't know where is it coming from, he's not even a proper wife by traditional japanese standards and he doesn't bottom much cuz he doesn't like the whole process of preparation (he's a busy man he can't stretch his ass for several hours straight)
also thinking about how after their deaths Madara's poems and letters to Tobirama while they were engaged but couldn't see each others and Tobirama's journal would be found and someone (probably some of their grand kids?) would edit it a bit and publish as a book as the most wholesome Romeo and Juliette story.
If Tobirama and Madara would get resurrected* again - they'd be like "THEY DID WHAT"
Especially Madara he'd be so embarrassed 😭
*it'd be a good thing for Tobirama to never actually leave any traces of this jutsu in the world, but he worried for his children and left them notes and some of his DNA in case something happens and Konoha needs saving or the whole world once again. Though maybe he'd made something of a counter seal (maybe a tattoo?) or counter jutsu that the person who summoned him wouldn't be able to control him.
ok I got it out of my system, i'm gonna go sleep now

relavity falls stans, graunts, n friends
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
oK THEYRE HERE NOW AND NOT JUST FIDDLEFORD!!!
fiddleford can be found here!!!
i wish i could've done more sketches but im a bit busy atm </3 will def do some on the weekends though!!
on the au:
instead of taking place in 2014, it takes place in 2024 now! which doesnt rlly change much outside of appearances and slang lol.
bold is what their au name is
stanford (ford) <--> dipper
pretty self explanatory! i feel like stanford'd be an x-men fan, hence the x patch on his shoulder lol. also yes, dipper is a trans woman here. and she has glasses bc fuck dude i hate drawing regular eyes.. i thought the design looked a bit empty, so i decided to make that cool glove thing ford had dipper's robot hand thingy!
stanley (lee) <--> mabel (mason)
stanley now wears a hat. hoorah. nothing much to say here besides him also smuggling shanklin in (w/o the knife unfortunately). mabel's still impersonating her sibling (who, before the portal scene, doesn't know that she's a girl now) under the name of mason, but has ultimately shed her sibling's fashion tastes for her own. mabel wears a turtleneck UNDER the suit bc she doesnt feel heat apparently!
candy <--> wendy
candy's now a 15 yo asian kid who took up the cashier job under grauntie bc she needed more extracurriculars and the experience. totally cant relate to that haha. wendy's now a 12 yo mischievous lil lumberjack who's best friends w/ stanley (i thought it'd be interesting since theyre all now still associated w each other) and who has ALL the middle school tea (which is A LOT)
grenda <--> soos
as much as i want the ages to line up relatively (haha get it.), i think it'd be funny if mabel just hired a bunch of teenagers to run the shack (not sure what to call it). grenda's the 15 yo handy(wo)man who has the voice of an angel and the golden mentality of "smash with couch"! soos is now a friendly n equally naive 12 yo who's best friends w stanely (yada yada) and who somehow always solves problems
on dipper and mabel (will be using he/him for pre-transition dipp):
hoo boy. i see SO many ppl arguing abt their relationship, and i just gotta say, i can tell who has siblings and who doesn't! (joke. thats a joke. mostly) anyways, theyre good siblings!! up until high school, where after drifting apart somewhat, they have a big argument abt where theyre going in life - dipper wants to go to insert rlly good college name and become a scientist while mabel, well, she doesn't know where she wants to go. unbeknownst to them, while theyre fighting, their parents are also fighting. suddenly, their parents split, and mabel is forced to live with her mom and dipper with his dad, far apart from each other. dipper (wearily) accepts this while mabel silently resents dipper for his submission
dipper attends his dream school but is unhappy in his schooling years. afterwards, with his 12 phds or whatever the hell, he goes to a quaint town named relativity falls... mabel becomes an artist of sorts, taking commissions n such, but finds that this doesn't exactly lead to profit. she then becomes a sort of con(wo)man and psychic in attempts to capitalize the strange. she DEF doesn't get into as much srs trouble as stanley did back in his day, but she still lands herself in hot water from scamming and stealing across state lines...
im tired rn so lmk if yall wanna hear more lol.

♡ How to gain the cephalopod's adoration ♡
Tumblr media
-> things you can do to make da boss swoon over you
azul x reader (fluff!)
Check out malleus' ver. / leona's ver. here!
Tumblr media
Be thoughtful and kind, do little things for him!
Is it busy at the Mostro Lounge? Offer to help out! Are you eating Azul’s favorite food, fried chicken? Save some for him! Found any interesting coins? Hand them over to him to examine and keep! Do him little favors and give him small things that you know he’ll like. Show him that he’s been on your mind because it's about to boggle his own. This boy will be so confused at your actions because he sees the idea of giving without expecting anything back as unusual, sketchy, even. After all, many of his interactions with people have been transactional, especially with the use of his contracts. So he will ask you directly for your motives, and you’d give him an answer that would further flabbergast him: “Why not?” (which would make this guy "aaAAA MOU YADA!!" himself away from you lmaooo 💀)
One thing is for sure– he'll never forget anything you'd given him or had done for him. He wouldn’t forget a single detail because he's planning to return the favor. It wouldn’t sit right with him if he didn’t do so. And so he would pay you back by helping you study, giving you free meals at the lounge, and offering other things that would help you, all without even having to make you sign a contract.
The extent to which he does all this will also surprise you that even you will have to ask him, why? What would he gain from this? And he’ll respond that it was to simply pay you back.
Tut tut.
Keep your gaze on him because he’s not done yet. Not until you’ve seen him avert his eyes from yours, the redness in his cheeks growing brighter, and he'll softly reply,
“...Your time. I would get to spend more time with you, y/n.”
And in time, he’d eventually like to gain your heart as well, teehee ♡
(But after he says that, he'll be an absolute mess, so try not to tease him too much about it please! Dude is already so insecure about himself, don't give him another reason to be 😭 If you give him a peck on the cheek though, he might not be able to survive that either ;) )
Remind him of home by hosting a feast for him on his birthday!
In his Birthday Vignette, it’s clear to see that Azul loves his family. During those times he can’t come home for break or especially during his birthday (since it’s still wintertime), find a way to set up a feast for him like he used to when he was younger. Bring Jade and Floyd into the plan if you have to! (If you’re trying to set up the feast in the Mostro Lounge without Azul noticing, then you’ll really have to include them) Your thoughtfulness will warm his heart.
Sing with him!
Don’t be shy now. He has a thing for singing voices, so you’ve got to let him hear yours! Have him hop on the piano, chirp a few notes, and sing along with him (Or at least try to!) Have some jam sessions together, singing through both of your favorite songs, and maybe have Jade and Floyd hop in with their instruments too. (Y’all can basically be a band LOL) He’d find it so endearing! spending a good time with his favorite ppl :)
Collect coins with him!
I've already briefly mentioned this in the first bullet point but let me elaborate a bit. Whatever interesting-looking coins you have laying around or that you find outside, bring it to him. Some of them might not be worth much, but he'd enjoy examining them and figuring out its origins. If you manage to find a rare coin, the joy that will bloom on his face will be priceless (no pun intended heh) and it'd be a different type of happiness than the composed type he'd usually show. We want to see more of that!
Compliment the Mostro Lounge!
The Mostro Lounge is Azul's baby. Take notice of the things he's doing with it and how he's trying to improve it. He invests so much into his business and he will have just as much appreciation for you if you notice all these details he puts into it. Whether it's the color he chose for the tablecloths or the brand of dishware he serves with, let him know you're aware of it! It'll show that you care about what he deeply cherishes, and so will he cherish you too.
Though some parts of his childhood were rough, remind him of the best parts and have him focus on that instead. Make him feel comfortable enough that he can allow himself to truly open up to you instead of holing up in his octopus-pot 🐙
Tumblr media
a/n: I know that description is funky but you can't tell me azul and the leech bros aren't basically the fish mafia of NRC and therefore he's *with a Brooklyn accent* da boss.
I also wanted to mention for that first bullet point, there was another thing that I was thinking of writing instead. Ok so when Azul asks you about your motives fo being so kind to him and if you were to say, "To make you happy" or smth like that, he'd probably say, "You want my happiness? Then let me have your time. It's a fair deal, no? ;) " but I scrapped that idea bc I don't think he'd be so smooth around his crush ngl LOL 😂
Anyway, Idia is probably gonna be next! Then maybe Vil or Jade, hmm

i usually don’t message anyone or anything but i just wanted to say i love your characterizations of konig, ghost, and soap very much. the love and appreciation you have for these characters really come through in your writing.
the cod fandom is full of talented writers but the majority of them write smut. it gets tiring scrolling through the tag and just seeing porn when i actually just wanna see… ppl who enjoy the characters outside of sex appeal, yk? so your blog, truly and genuinely, is a breath of fresh air.
that’s not even mentioning the ppl who write them as abusive or use them to fulfill certain fantasies. i mean i don’t kink shame ofc, but idk sometimes ppl write them in extremely degrading ways that do a disservice to their character and it bugs me a little. plus all the “innocent bimbo reader” rhetoric, idk it gets tiring.
anyway, sorry for the yap session, but i did mean everything i said genuinely !!
💚💚💚💚 Salutations anon! You really don't know how much I appreciate hearing this. Seriously, messages like this give me motivation to keep writing and to stay active on here. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU from the very depths of my heart. You've all been so so incredibly kind, sweet, and encouraging 😭 I don't know what I've done to deserve this but it's appreciated and you all are absolutely awesome. This has made my YEAR, thank you for taking time out of your day to send my silly self a message 💚💚💚💚💚
I'm so so happy my characterizations have hit the mark for some people and that I'm (hopefully) doing them some justice! I'm always worried about that because characterization matters heavily to me and I want to respect their characters and how much they mean to me and other people through it EVEN IF THE WRITERS OF THE LAST MODERN WARFARE DON'T KNOW WHAT A PROPER STORY LINE IS AND KILLED SOAP WHICH I'M NOT FORGETTING, IM NOT FORGIVING, AND IM CERTAIN NOT LIVE LAUGH LOVING WITH IT. I'm refusing to accept he's dead, no matter what they say
I love the boys all so much. They all have such interesting things about them and have a lot more dynamic to them than people think and I just want to represent them right, especially lesser appreciated characters (haven't actually really written for them yet but Keegan, Logan, Hesh, Sandman, Roach, Nikto, Krueger - legit I love them, anyone feel free to send asks or scenarios you'd like I WILL write them. Legit, y'all, you can send me asks about certain characters even if there isn't much on them. I WILL do my research and I WILL write to the best of my ability)
Oh there's many talented writers in the COD Fandom, there really are. I can't say I really know any personally seeing as I never really interact with other blogs but I've seen some reallly really nice fics with so much thought put in them. But equally, there's a lot of just... smut. Not even well written smut, I'm sorry, but a lot of it is just really, really poorly written. I'm all for do what you want, write whatever makes you happy. Freedom of speech! If it makes you happy, cool! But I'm also going to cringe cause a lot of it is... yeah, yikes
Not trying to be the smut police and say every detail must be accounted for and everyone should follow it in a certain way but plz basic anatomy 101, basic prep 101, no guy gal or enby pal will appreciate it if you just shove it in to anywhere dry and I've seen a loooot of that and other things that just hurt?????
I get it, people learn by reading/writing, but this is literally just a single search away. And common sense. There's also a lot of practices being unsafely represented (like fifty shades of gray level) and uh it's not on purpose, it's not meant to be dubious, but it just is written as that. PLEEEEASE please please do some research, the internet is right there
But I felt the same way. Like bless whatever y'all want to write, no shame and NO shade to writing smut. I'll probably eventually do it myself again in the future (undecided on that but it'd likely be a side blog if I do and would never be a main focus, I prefer story over smut action. Once again, no shade and no shame to those who don't, to each their own!). Never ever going to full on NSFW mode or only writing that, I'm always always always going to prioritize writing the characters first and trying to get more stories out there about them :D
But I got tired of opening it and all I see is just... smut, smut, more smut, extremely dubious content x 50. And maybe a sprinkle of normal things or fluff here and there. I just don't look in the tags honestly anymore, because so many people just don't properly tag it or give 0 warning at all, not even under a read more, just BAM, unavoidable unless you flat out don't look at the tags at all
There's more to the characters than just being attractive 😭and I love exploring those aspects of them and trying to figure out why they are the way they are
Also I'm ALWAYS going to have an issue with people who fetishize horrible things. When you're actively fantasizing and writing about someone abusing someone else, like flat out abuse, and being incredibly toxic and terrible to someone - just, please talk to a therapist. That's not social commentary, that's not a proper portrayal of real, HORRIBLE things that affect many people and have very real repercussions - that's perpetuating the negative narrative around a lot of struggles and setting it back by instead turning it into something that's treated as attractive. I really fully can elaborate on this and have a whole rant - but it's not cute and it's NEVER cool to fetishize actual, awful awful things that happen to people. Dead dove doesn't excuse you from judgement - especially when it's not even acknowledged. You're just saying you know what you write is probably morally reprehensible. Hey, I'm going to reprehend and won't respect you at all when you write awful things just cause and get off on it. Think people forget that. Dead dove is a descriptor and doesn't excuse you or make you instantly free from judgement or mean you're not doing something problematic/disgusting. It's just saying you know it is, that's about it.
I don't get why people do that when it's clear they have no idea what they're talking about. I've seen that a lot with the bully! Things. Like... wow, clearly some of you WEREN'T bullied and you're writing about it and it shows because if you were, hey, you know how fucking awful that shit is and how it leaves life long effects. Not saying this applies to all but there's a lot I see like that where it's just ".... wow, okay, so you don't have any idea what you're talking about, cool."
AND YEAH the mischaracterization really does do a great disservice where it's clear they're just after the characters for their physique. They just warp them so bad it's like "Are we talking about the same character?" . In AUs you get to explore that and can shape them to your wants, that's your choice! Highly recommend AU's, it allows so much freedom.
But when it's like.... regular? And it's just no where close and they're doing a 180 in how they actually are (like having Ghost flirt with strangers and be big scary daddy dom im sorry he's not at allllll) I don't get it and it's clear you really aren't writing about or for the character - at that point, plz, make your own characters. Just make your own OCs, it's great! And you can make them HOWEVER you want instead of just ignoring a character's characterization to make them fit what you want. And guess what? It's your character so you can TRULY do what you want and have them the way that you want instead of bending characters to fit a box that they weren't made for
I'm not saying you HAVE to write a character the same as me or in a specific way, but when it's a character with an established personality/backstory, the least you can do is follow that outside of AU's if you're writing for them. That's... the whole point of writing that character - I don't get why you'd write for them specifically if you're literally going to ignore everything about them
SPEAKING OF THE INNOCENT BIMBO THING, I'm also really not a fan. Once again, if that makes you happy to write or read, cool! I just am NOOOOT a fan. Why does the reader always have to be so small and so delicate and so pure/innocent? Why does the reader have to be just so UWU coded? Why are they always like "oh you're so little and small :( and just don't know any better" . It's either that or they're John fucking Wick with little in between. Pleeeease it hurts my soul
Its why I try to genuinely write a neutral geared reader with reactions that will likely fit a lot of people! I'm always taken out of a story's immersiveness when it mentions something like like your hair length or how uwu small you are in comparison. Give me just... average sensible reader. Give me reader who has realistic human reactions. Give me reader who isn't perfect, give me a reader who isn't magically special or different. Give me a reader who is just doing their best, who is THEMSELVES, with no intent otherwise. I love those fanfics so so much instead of trying to feel like I have to be something I'm not to get myself in the mindset to read some pieces NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR YAPPING. IM ALWAYS WANTING TO TALK IM ALWAYS AROUND 💚💚💚💚THANK YOU FOR THE MESSAGE IT MAKES MY HEART WARM AND MAKES ME SO SO HAPPY

i know you probably hear this all the time but your blog is so on point on the horrendous ending of bleach and the endgame couples.
tbh i don't even care that ichigo and rukia didn't end up together... okay after all these years i still give a huge damn that these two aren't endgame. but seriously idc that much that they aren't together. but what i'm so pissed is who ichigo ended up with! be so fr! orihime and ichigo... i could and would right an essay on how they are so incompatible. i would've prefered if he ended up with tatsuki or even some rando. he waited until they were married for him to say her first name... like i get that he wants to be respectable and they weren't that close but ichigo barely knew rukia for a week and he was already down bad for rukia. i still believe to this day that ichigo doesn't look at orihime the same way he looks at rukia. actually he SETTLED for orihime since rukia was already locked down with renji ‼️i will die on this heal. and also the ichihime shippers are scraping for their ship moments while we, ichiruki stans, are eating so well with unlimited supply of ichiruki moments lmao
I would've been fine with the ending simply having Ichigo & Rukia standing next to each other happily (maybe a little too close?) as they look over Soul Society. Leaving the possibilities there. Narratively, such an ending would've made sense. I don't think even non-shippers would have batted an eye. No typical "timeskip married with kids" ending. It didn't make sense for it to end that way.
Even if I was a non-shipper, Ichigo ending up with Orihime goes against the narrative & is one of the major issues with the ending, since there was never an inkling of chemistry between them. No special moments. No interest nor special thought from Ichigo towards her. I literally never thought IH would have a chance; it seemed that unlikely 💀. I never doubted an IchiRuki victory (even if they wouldn't outright get together, like I said, at least that it'd be implied that they will in the future). Most of the shipping fandom thought the same or similarly, I believe... Most ppl shipped or could see IR happening... Kub0 had developed it enough to have most of us thinking this way...
IR had the potential to be the best-written M/F canon ship in a battle shounen & yet... 😮‍💨
I don't believe for a second that Kub0 had "always" intended for IH/RR endgames. To this day, he hasn't said anything meaningful about either pairing. He did absolutely nothing to imply them throughout the story. He put no effort into them. At every opportunity, he would always make it about IchiRuki...
Dudebros & IH's fail to see that IH/RR as endgame makes no narrative sense. If I was an IH/RR shipper, I'd be upset with how Kub0 handled them. They have no development, no official content, no merch, no proper validation from Kub0... He still can't even bring himself to give them a family color spread 🫢. Saddest endgame ships in a battle shounen...
About Ichigo finally saying Ori's name in the last chapter, there's a funny post on that here. 🤭
And yeah, Ichigo definitely settled for her, cuz the fact he waited until Rukia was unavailable will always be laughable... He tried dating Ori once then broke up for a while then tried again... wow, he was really "in love" with her from the start, huh? He was just putting off the inevitable cuz he had to seek unhappiness in order to stop Ywach from returning at his happiest moment... 🤷‍♀️

Rolls up my sleeves. Heres some blorbos for the bingo
LL: Anisa, Sage, Felix, Rime
Ojamajo: Doremi, the Queen, Ran 🤧
Might ask for a few more l8r but these are the ones I'm most interested in off the top of my head hehe
Rolls up my sleeves with u...thank you for the blorbos!! I had some energy to draw stickers for the bingo boards today so I hope you enjoy :3 sadly I only got bingo for one character, but it was a double for Ran!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Some additional thoughts:
Anisa: I love her smm but after learning about her original route pre-rewrite, I feel as though there was def some missed potential with her route, besides being half finished. So I would take her out of the source material only bc I want more of her :''
Sage: what it says on the box 🤧 no extra comments but I kinda miss him </3
Felix and Rime: I don't have a good recollection of Felix's route + he's not my favourite LI, but idk he's still a compelling character that I think had some missed potential, same with Rime.
Doremi: She's so darling, best magical girl protagonist ever <33 I would say she was treated fairly for the most part but near the end of the series, Sara and I did notice a growing number of instances where the other girls weren't as supportive of doremi as we might've hoped, or teased her when it wasn't exactly appropriate, so I think the writers could've laid off on some of that. It wasn't as bad as the way the inner sailors bullied Usagi, but it had a similar feeling, hence why I thought her character could've been treated better/gotta get her out of the source material/other ppl do not understand them (besides sara @evanox of course). I also get annoyed when reading about ship discourse re: her and Kotake because he's such a godawful kid and I just want doremi to live her best life eating steak 😭 10000/10 Doremi best girl
The Queen of the Witch World: Sadly only a few of these bingo options applied to the queen,, I almost didn't want to choose the *biting them* option because I thought it'd be impolite for such an elegant lady,,so yeah, not a lot to say about her in relation to these bingo spots, but I do enjoy thinking abt her story pre- and post- canon :3c
Majo Ran: OUGH my girl,, there's a reason why Ran is my discord pfp, she's so dang cool and handsome,, I don't have any issues with her character, I just have beef with the writers who decided Ran would be a one-off character, they only mentioned her ONCE after her appearance in Sharp, and that was a throwaway line at the very end of Dokkan 😭 Regardless, I loved that one ep we had of her and would've loved to hear more abt Ran's adventures on earth, both as a child and after she was banished from the witch world.

right so i just finished everything now on netflix and i really wanted to share my unfiltered opinions on it and see what other ppl thought as well. here it goes!!
- i think my favorite characters were carli, becca and alex
- carly made for an impeccable love interest tbh
- icl i didn't love the main character as much as i thought i would, idk if that was the writing but sometimes i felt like they were trying too hard to make her relatable? it felt a bit forced
- also she was extremely selfish and though i understood why it still got jarring 😭
- i loved how they gave alex an episode !!! it was so moving to see things from his pov, 100% necessary
- god knows they weren't meant to be together but alison deserved way better tbh
- as for couples i was fond of becca/cam and will/theo. i also rly liked will's lil storyline at the end. as someone who's been the "funny friend" i could definitely relate
- carli and mia's chemistry was insane and if the show does get renewed i'm curious to see how things will be for them in the future. for now it's clear that carli's been portrayed/seen as more of a fantasy so it'd be nice to actually get to know more about her like really
- also i wish we'd seen more of carli and will doing theater kid stuff
- one thing i really loved abt the show was the wardrobe !!! especially becca's like i need all her clothes immediately
- i know euphoria was basically a cultural reset in media so it's inevitably rubbed off on other shows but sometimes it did seem like they were trying to replicate it a bit too much, esp the cinematography/music. it felt unoriginal
- which is a shame cause i think that distracted me at times (joined w the whole awkward/quirky mc). still, this is a very important story and i'm glad they told it
we all know netflix so i don't know if we're gonna be able to see these characters again but i look forward to seeing how the show levels up if we do. i think it has great potential. i wanna hear what u thought as well so share it below if u feel like it !!! <3

okay then my question is what is your aversion to talking about the discrepancies of financial backing between jimin and jungkook from the company? why do you not want to discuss how jimin is the one who primarily filmed his production diary? he said from his mouth that evan is the one who would be in charge of the camera and set things up. it's tedious to comment on jimin's production output (from a shipper no less) and to not comment on the lack of company support in comparison to jungkook's output that has full company support. it'd be interesting to hear your thoughts on jungkook's documentary knowing full well how much money the company has put into his solo career.
Hello again anon,
Thank you for asking a question this time. As to why I have nothing further to discuss on this topic, it's simple. There's literally no way for us to accurately conclude what the root cause of the supposed differences in quality between the 'documentary' projects. It should be obvious but comparisons between JPD and JKs documentary are literally impossible right now. It hasn't even been released. But mostly because much of the evidence required for such an investigation will never be available to us as the audience and not participants in the production.
Allow me to further elaborate:
The widely-accepted process for such a question is to complete what's called a Root Cause Analysis (RCA). There are dozens of ways for approaching this, and one of the points of the RCA is to denote why any particular method was applied. It's not rare that multiple methods will be utilized for the same investigation either in cases where the Risk/Impact is high enough.
Here some diagrams of common methods:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
In this instance, I'd likely start with the fishbone diagram and the 6Ms because of the scale of touchpoints. But like I said in my original response to these, there is no way for us to know the details regarding the materials, methods, manpower, etc.
Theorizing is one thing if it's an enjoyable activity but I personally find no joy in fanwars, let alone in investigations that will be inconclusive by design.
So there's your reason why I have nothing to say on the topic now. Maybe I'll have some thoughts to share if I do see JKs documentary and once I'm able to watch all of the others that have already been released but who knows when that will be.
(As a sidenote, calling ppl shippers is not the insult you seem to think it is. I have an odd viewpoint when it comes to shipping spaces due to my ace/aro-ness but I'd recommend you drop that tactic as it doesn't seem to have the impact you're looking for.)

hello!
I saw your enstars x bee and puppycat au art and I really love the idea!
would not have thought of it but it's so perfect ahh
am curious if you have more thoughts on it?
I was thinking that maybe Kaoru and Rei would both be in Deckard's role in the sense that they both care about Adonis
Rei is the one who originally helped Adonis find a job but it unfortunately didn't work out and Kaoru is sort of the goofy dork who's also insecure/anxious about the future (like how Deckard was about cooking school I think?) :]
but yeah, simply an idea rotating in my head. hope it's alright to ask you :0
Hi !! :3
First off, thank u for sending me this !! it makes me really happy that others r enjoying the same things as me, esp if it's my self-indulgent stuff HAHA. I've been thinking of this ask n giggling n kicking my feet ngl
Second YES !!! I had ideas for rei n kaoru taking care of adonis in a sense. Sorry in advance cuz my writing is all over the place LOL…..
My idea for rei was that he was the one who helped adonis get back in the swing of things by giving him a place to stay n helping him find a job. I had planned for rei to let adonis live in his house since he would be gone often doing ~business~ n he needed someone to ‘take care of his house.’ Also knowing that ado would prob feel guilty abt living in his home for free, he tells ado to get a job in order to ‘pay rent’. <- I've put them in quotes because it's only what he says. In reality, rei doesn’t need the money or a house caretaker, he just wants adonis to experience life outside since ado had a sheltered upbringing and give him something to do (landlord rei era???) I also wanted all of this to be a favour rei is doing for an old friend
For kaoru I wanted him to be a big brother figure to ado (?) like a guy whos close to him in age that he can somewhat relate to n learn from. I'm glad u suggested him being unsure of his future like deckard cuz I was feeling a lil stumped with him HAHAHA. I think it'd be interesting to bring in the fact that since he's the only human in the squad, he feels that he doesn’t have the same amount of time as other members. This results in him feeling conflicted abt staying in their small idyllic town instead of pursuing a higher education/career outside like many ppl his age, even if he is already enjoying his current free-spirited lifestyle. I also see him as an inspiration for ado who wants to live as a human and as someone he respects.
Ummm that should be the gist of it.... I'm sorry if it's weird, writing isn’t exactly my strong suit 😭 😭 😭 I'll prob change it down the line if I can think of something better HAHA but anyway here’s a relationship chart that summarises everyone’s feelings towards each other
Tumblr media
Again thank u for being interested in this au !! I love hearing ppls thoughts so if u or anyone else want to share them feel free to let me know !!! <3333

Pentagon - Friends to Lovers vs. Enemies to Lovers
SFW (one suggestive remark), Warnings: none, gender-neutral
anon requested: Who's more enemies to lovers and who's more friends to lovers?
a/n: so this came in a set with two other requests that I will get to later but the question was just so interesting to think about and I wanted to write down my thoughts immediately. I hope you enjoy these, anon! Also if anyone has thoughts about it pls let me know. I'd love to hear other ppls takes on this~
Masterlist
FRIENDS TO LOVERS
Changgu
I think he's literally THE best friend. Like show me a movie with a best friend and it's going to be Changgu. He has that classic sweet, friendly childhood friend vibe who always supports you and has your back. Would watch from the sidelines and wish for your happiness if you fell in love with someone else T-T
Yuto
Does this even need an explanation? He is such a sweetheart. Like how would you even become Yuto's enemy?? I think you'd have to try very hard for him to consider you an enemy and like. What kind of person would you have to be to want that? So, yeah, FtL because EtL is simply not an option.
Wooseok
While I can see EtL for him, I think he just has such a "friend vibe". I can picture Wooseok to be the type of person that doesn't fall in love that quickly and needs to grow more comfortable with someone first so FtL feels like a good trope for him imo
ENEMIES TO LOVERS
Hyunggu
I think this one is an obvious choice, isn't it? In all honesty I can't picture any scenario where you're his enemy and he doesn't flirt with you. It just goes hand in hand with him. Also not to be nsfw but he'd totally take the whole enemy/anger thing into the bedroom.
Jinho
Sure, Jinho is cute and all but he can also be pretty sassy. I think he'd be so arrogant and condescending and it'd get your blood boiling and your heart racing and- wait, what? There's just a lot of potential for arguing about opinions and views that don't match and I'm here for it.
Yanan
He is soft, he is sweet and he can be an absolute snake. He'd be the really petty type in this kind of trope and oh my god do I love that. So sassy to you at all times, but as soon as that romantic tension starts to appear he'd be completely lost and flustered.
BOTH
Shinwon
I think having Shinwon as a friend would include a lot of casually hanging out together, chilling on the couch or having cereal together at 3am. You'd grow so comfortable and get so used to sharing space. I think it would just naturally develop from there and someday you realize that maybe waking up in the same bed and cuddling and kissing is not something friends do.
I'm not sure if Shinwon would have enemies per se, simply because I feel like he'd just leave you be if he doesn't like you. But there's so much potential for misunderstandings with him, so I think a story where you one-sidedly think that he hates you while he just doesn't care that much (or even likes you/finds you interesting) seems fitting.
Hui
I can really see him having a best friend trying to take care of him while he's exhausted and overworked. And then in the midst of being drowsy and tired and comfortable accidental confessions happen...?
For enemies-- Maybe more like a rival thing? Both of you would be desperate to win, but while you see nothing but a rival in him, he'd also see you as an inspiration to work harder and would still be able to genuinely congratulate you if you won.
Hongseok
It just so happens that my best friend and I are having childhood friend!Hongseok brainrot these days, so I can really picture this so well. He'd be super protective of you and get pouty if you spent too much time with other people (read: too little with him).
But I can also picture something like a rivalry. Hongseok is competitive and ambitious and he likes to win. He would see it as a friendly rivalry while you'd grow to dislike him more with each time he beats you. He'd always play fair, even if you didn't which would frustrate you even more.

WHoa I love your art, mate they are so gorgeous. Also, I was reading back a comic you did that had Donnie snooping his way to Leo's bed and another about Leo's conservation with April. I then wondered if you had any thoughts of like Donnie apologizing to Leo making him feel that way or like Leo confessing how he actually feels to Don...Sorry for the long question, also hope you have a good day and keep doing what your doing cause ur art is muah, chef's kiss!
(for ppl interested here's the link to the first and second comics)
ty for the kind words! and also for the interest in my thoughts - reading this reminded me of how i just. unfortunately never got around to drawing that fight, bleh lmao
i think they'd end up talking about it a little - donnie would realize why leo's been so weird around april and would try to apologize (it'd be awkward and not that great, but hearing it alone would be enough for leo) and leo would shed some light on the subject but probably not to the extent he would to april, wouldn't go that indepth about it because he thinks it's a little pathetic that he's upset that his bro found someone to hang out with that isn't just his sibling. but i don't think they'd be able to go back to the way things were before. like, although they would have made amends, it doesn't change the fact that things are just...different, now, between them. maybe they'd try at first - all three of them hang out - but it doesn't stick and it's just something they just have to keep going from. donnie and april are best friends and leo's...not a part of that. that's life.
(i'd like to think that april still has a little part inside of her that feels bad about disrupting their relationship despite what leo says to her)
sdkjfhh this answer's probably longer than you expected but this ask reminded me abt my obsession w/ that headcanon so thanks! wish i could draw more abt that but drawing is hard and i am tired
edit: oop i forgot i was looking through to see if i did have anything related to don and leo talking and uh. i got this blurb ig?

so not to keep talking about stuff you're not interested in BUT i've watched a little bit more of unboxing and i've been having such a good time. i was a little nervous it would be boring for me since i was going into it just to get some jinjin induced serotonin but not at all, it's been entertaining. i was nervous i'd feel disconnected from kino because i'm not very familiar with him but i actually like him so much. i've been finding myself thinking at some points "when is jinjin gonna stop talking so i can hear kino talk again?" JSNDBABSBSBS
but don't get me wrong, this isn't to say i'm not enjoying jinjin here, i adore him as always. kino just makes me very curious precisely because i don't really know anything about him, and he's just so nice, he's the exact type of person i'd like to be friends with. but jinjin is obviously a delight to have and i do love hearing his opinions as well. they both have a lot of shared memories together which i think makes them have a good balance with each other. you can tell they've been friends for a long time and that they enjoy and feel comfortable doing this together. i really liked the first episode where they talked about their experiences during high school and the places they frequented, it's so hard to imagine the lives they must've had back then, and i can't imagine knowing someone for that long! it's really interesting.
and being a kpop podcast of course they talk a lot about music. they made a list of songs they like and i'm planning of listening to all of them. i'm very curious about the kind of stuff jinjin listens to! i think it'd be cool to get a taste of that for my rotted brain. and the way kino talks about the music he likes is really sweet? he looks so happy. jinjin said something about how his eyes light up whem he talks about it and i can totally see that, it makes me want to listen to the songs he talked about so much.
ANYWAY i'm enjoying unboxing, i love the friendship these two have, they have some really good chemistry, and the topics they cover are honestly pretty cool to listen to.
Kino from pentagon??? I just looked him up and for some reason I thought the group was older...Ig not tho. Gjsjfjd they debuted p close to when monsta x debuted. Also the podcast sounds like a fun time, glad u're enjoying it! I've been tempted to get into similar stuff, where ppl from kpop groups I like talk abt music (and also midnight idol w kihyun and changkyun but I haven't been able to find eng subtitles anywhere ;_;). Also :0, they've been friends since high school...they've known each other for a long time...

[clears throat] okay so your url slaps. anyway: hermitcraft starship iris au? i may be behind on the podcast But Still ~@betweenlands
okay this concept is simply just SO GOOD, one of my favorite things ever is worldbuilding/lore and figuring out how things would work, and tscosi is one of my favorite universes in terms of how the universe works. add that to the way that ppl translate minecraft mechanics from gameplay into like, actual existence, which just happens to be one of my favorite things about mcyt content, and yeah this is such a very cool interesting concept with so much potential!
alas as I am still new to hc and getting a feel for the characters, I don't feel like I'm familiar enough with any of it to make a proper au here. I will say, though, I feel like Cleo and Joe as McCabe and Park would be fucking awesome. no particular reason, just that it'd be cool.
anyway, some Thoughts I have on potential tscosi au stuff:
- elytra are a dwarnian technology, and there's a couple different types of them (something like planetside/everyday wings, atmo/high-altitude planetside wings, and probably combat wings and space wings too). they're not very common outside the main hub of dwarnian space, although humans did their best to reverse-engineer the ones they managed to get their hands on during the war. not that it worked, of course, but they tried!
- I know next to nothing about Vex, both in the actual game and the fanon interpretation thereof, but I feel like they could definitely have something to do with the nanoswarm somehow.
- this is more of a general sci-fi au headcanon than a specifically tscosi au one, but human technology runs on a combination of electricity and redstone. initially it was just electricity, but when humanity first ventured outside earth and/or had first contact with another species, redstone was discovered (I'm thinking it acts mostly as a power source but can be used for other technical things too, and was a big part of making space travel/human life on other planets more sustainable) and subsequently integrated with human technology, and by this point it's just another part of life.
- aaaaaaand yeah ok that's all I've got for now but probably expect more bc my brain is very hooked on this idea now!! the Potential,,,,,so good aaaa! also if you feel so inclined I would very much love to hear any of your ideas on this au concept too!

The TRR rewrite had such great moments. I'm not sure why people got so mad about it. I got the beach bonus scene and it was amazing. I did not read the infamous club scene but it'd be a shame if they scrapped all the new content.
Hi anon! (i think ur here bc of a post i wrote a week ago??? idk)
The TRR 2.0 weekend was the worst, lmao! However, from a fan perspective, I get why ppl got upset. I too was reluctant about it based on what I was hearing. Nobody likes change. I get that. But once I played it (and I played both beach and club scene), I really didnt see what the big deal was. 
Both scenes are vastly different. It wasn’t like when you pick a location but the written scene is the same like it usually is in choices books. Depending on the location, you got to see a different version of Liam and I thought that was really interesting. 
The club scene isnt my favorite thing in the world but if you look at it fm Liam’s pov--he really doesn’t know the mc, has no idea what its like to be desired because of who he is sans prince title. I can see why he would want to see what the mc would do if his attention was being fought over with other women bc you already know that the person he actually wants is the mc but he doesn’t know if the mc wants him (for him). 
Basically the club scene is more about Liam pretending he’s someone else and it backfires, depending on how the mc chooses to respond. And if you call him out on it, annoyed, he immediately apologizes and recognizes he messed up.
It really isn’t as bad as everyone made it out to be and tbh I found both scenes to be in character. 
I don’t know if we’ll ever see the new rewritten content again, I hope we do but i’ve become less optimistic since TRM went on hiatus to prepare for it’s ‘epic’ finale. 
And like yourself, I liked all the new content that was added in those 4 chapters. Honestly, like, having replayed TRR so many times, it was fun to get new content. How often does ur favorite book\game\movie get entirely new content to discover? Rarely. That weekend was hell, but those 4 chapters were fun despite fandom yelling in the background. 
Thank you so much for ur message, anon. I rarely get to openly talk about the TRR rewrite. Pls dont hesitate to tell me more about what you liked about it!
