who's your favorite ISAT character and why is it Loop
loop is my everything. since the veryvery beginning.
it all started when my buddy E told me this prior to ISAT's release...
Tumblr media
and when i saw them i was like Oh... nonbinary swag like ME!!!!
Tumblr media
and then i played the game and they stayed my favorite . i spoke to them so much it's a shock i didn't get that many loop secrets on my first try☠️
my first impression of loop was actually a lot different to how they actually are, for example i thought the rest of the gang knew who loop was and they were just like this ethereal, older, probably ageless friend of theirs
yea i was. wrong
there's my loop backstory! <3 i gotta go to work now teehee ⭐️

if the theory of sam reich being replaced by .. evil wizard dalton reich (and i cant believe i am partaking in this discurse) is true..
i've seen some people asking the question about what those childhood tapes mean. Well i am one of the ancient ones that owned vhs tapes and you know you could replace whats stored on those tapes with overwriting it with new material but it would slowly degrade the quality as the magnetic tape the information is stored on isn't necessarly made to be re-recorded on indefinetly which would also explain the degrading quality of the gamechanger episode.
So my theory is that dalton reich wants to erase sam from history and to do this he is slowly erasing any proof that could hint on sam and dalton being two different people. One thing he appearantly needed to do is overwrite these old vhs tapes of sams childhood.

How about chore distribution if they were in a Roommate situation? Assuming everyone had a private space
Obviously Bonnie cooks! Prep cook is Odile for breakfast because she wakes up early, Isabeau or Mirabelle for lunch, and Siffrin for dinner because he's more of an evening person. Dish washer is Isabeau for breakfast bc he's energetic in the mornings, Siffrin for lunch, and Mirabelle or Odile for dinner. (But if anyone is out and about at their assigned time, someone else will happily step in.) Nille was really reluctant to let Bonnie be in charge of most meals because kids shouldn't have to do that, but she was won over by how much Bonnie enjoys it, so she only takes over as head chef when they ask her to. Otherwise, Nille does all of the grocery shopping, because it stresses her out to not know what food is in the house and how much it cost.
Odile likes having her own space just so, so she mostly just takes care of her own room and bathroom and cleans up after herself, and sweeps the floors so nothing gets tracked around. Sometimes Siffrin helps her, though, because he likes to quietly complete tasks with his family. But only Siffrin no one else is allowed to. :|
Siffrin, Isabeau, and Mirabelle share laundry; Isabeau usually washes it (3 people's is nothing compared to like 8+) (and he knows how to treat various fabrics and has strong laundry-hefting arms) and they all fold and put away together. Nille does hers and Bonnie's — unless Isabeau gets to it first. Nille keeps trying to get him back by doing his but he's always one step ahead. :/
Mirabelle cleans the bathrooms (except Odile's) because she thinks washing and scrubbing is super satisfying. Nille and Bonnie clean the kitchen because they're in charge of it anyway. Siffrin does the yardwork because they like methodical repetitive tasks, and being outside, and watching things grow. Everyone takes turns helping with the small garden, though!
People try to tidy up after themselves for the most part, but everyone has their own things they're more particular about and tend to fix if they notice it's been left messy: Mirabelle makes people's beds if she's hanging out in their room (perfectionist parents), Nille likes the shoes to all be lined up neatly by the door (paranoid about losing them), Isabeau brings people's stray belongings back to their rooms (siblings who sometimes borrowed/lost/broke items left in communal spaces), Odile brings stray dishes back to the kitchen (depressed dad). Bonnie is immune to this effect because they're young enough that they have to be coaxed into cleaning up even just their own stuff, and Siffrin is immune to this effect because they don't have any pre-existing house-living habits.
And, once a season everyone pitches in for a big deep-cleaning weekend!
(Loop is kinda in and out, and physically exempt from some human functions, so they don't have official chores. But they like helping Nille with the shopping/kitchen, and they usually let Isabeau wash their clothes, and they sometimes take on home improvement projects.)

geniunely not trying to put words in ur mouth im geniunely asking: what do you actually like about persona 5? from all ur rants im just wondering why you didnt drop the game bc it seems (again, im not trying to put words in ur mouth) that it simply not for you? i geniunely have not felt any of the issues you bring up outside of the writing ones and i cannot tell if i'm just easily pleased and not good at discerning what a good game is or we simply have dif things we enjoy in a video game. i hate getting tone across text but im asking out of geniune curiosity im not trying to attack your opinion (;-;)
Nah, i dont feel like ur attacking me, and I hope u dont feel the same when u see my complaints! Lmao. In my defense, I am replaying the game for the first time after completing my first file back in 2020, so alot of the faults i kinda shrugged off in my first playthrough are now glaringly in my face now that I no longer have the confusion and interest in learning the main story to keep me occupied. The game is clunky all the way through, and at some times, even frustratingly so.
But despite that, i do like this game. Alot! Its probably one of my top games ever if im being honest!
This ended up way longer than I intended, so im putting it under a readmore to keep the post short on dashboards
If i had to describe what I liked about the game in the simplest way imaginable…I think I would say, I like how the game makes me feel :) I like the music. I like the vibe. I like the immersion from city to city, and I like the premise! I like the characters and I like the connections you make with these characters! As im replaying this game, i am most excited to see Akira and his comments about the world :) i like hearing everyones voices, I like their little interactions in Mementos, and I like seeing them fight!
P5 is the first game I played in the series; its the game that introduced me to SMT in the first place! And it (smt) is a series that my longtime best friend LOVES and never thought hed be able to share with me! It is a game i keep very near to my heart; it has influenced me in ways i did not think would happen in the short couple of years since i first finished it. It genuinely keeps me awake some nights thinking about the world this game has created, and I think that is a testament to the impact its had, be it good or bad.
The joke about wishing theyd make a persona game that was Good is that despite all of its numerous flaws, the games manage to snatch your attention and pull you in anyway. Imagine if they made a game that had all of those things that i mentioned I loved, but done Right and executed Properly?? Where I got to have a story that made sense and didnt need to be spoonfed to me (in like an HOUR of dialogue and scenes; an HOUR!), and characters that talked and bonded beyond the tiny snippets of interaction theyre allowed to have in mementos? Combat that let me use PERSONAS i liked instead of BUILDS that stop me from getting instakilled throughout the entirety of the endgame, and a Persona building mechanic that didnt feel like I was shooting in the dark looking for possible fusions that end up not even being useful in the endgame.
Ive mentioned it before, but I complain so much bc I have seen what a good p5 game looks like, and its Strikers almost to a T. Combat is still your typical warriors-esque style combat, but it is at least different from the turn based strategy of the main game. Characters talk to each other freely, they hang out and comfort each other in a way that feels more connected that the base game. Strikers implements the ability to see ALL possible fusions with ALL registered personas, not just the ones in your Stock, so you can fuse easily without having yo consult a guide. The story feels like it makes SENSE with antagonists that feel morally grey and sympathetic. Genuinely, alot of the complaints for p5 I had were almost immediately rectified in this game.
But please also know that the praises I sing for this game is only bc of the groundwork laid by p5 and the world it created. Thats what I like about this game, that it had such a captivating premise and cast of characters, that a DIFFERENT company was able to hit the ground running with them. P5 had alot happening in that game, but i think what it had most was potential. The effort put into this game is astronomical, and the possible connections you can outright MISS if u arent paying attention was worth the money and time to implement; even if it meant that it could be considered a waste of resources to higher ups.
Books and games and part time jobs???!! Silly little cutscenes that add nothing to the game PLOTwise, but define and flesh out the personality of your protagonist. There was alot of love put into this game, and its evident by the fact that we have NOT seen a new persona game released; they bank on existing titles bc they are unwilling to make a game like this from scratch again. They dont want to ‘waste’ resources on good voice acting and a complex, overarching story; they dont want to waste money on scenes a player may never see, on routes a player may never get to experience. Making a game that gives u even the slightest bit of freedom means more money in programming and detailing that freedom. This has been an issue for a WHILE, and its a miracle that the gaming landscape had space for a colossal title like p5!
I complain bc I want better, and I do not think that is inherently at odds with my love of this game. In b4 im told to get good; ive played on hard and tested out merciless (its NOT fun, im making godbuilds again and its boring 😞). Its not the most accessible turnbased rpg; theres no colorblind modes, and the affinity system is convoluted and overwhelming. Combo moves are hard to keep track of and it can be incredibly frustrating to see your turns being skipped or seeing characters take extreme technical damage without understanding WHY it happened. The fact that they KNEW the game was desperate for qol improvements by the time royal came out, and instead of updating the base game to have those improvements too, they just pushed the royal edition out for people to play instead. It sucks! Customers and fans deserve better than being forced to shell out money for a game they already played !
As the gaming climate gets more and more hostile and unbearable, I think it is good to look at your games critically, and understand why products come out subpar. Persona 5 is a fun game that has a nice cast and an interesting premise, but it is ultimately tied down by its refusal to build on existing building blocks regarding its combat, and it insists on having insulting and downright out of character dialogue and scenes to appease the audience its designed to be targeted to. It is easy to forget sometimes that queer ppl are infact NOT the prime target of these games, its cishet gamer bros from aged 16 to 40 who will laugh at homophobic comments, who drool over a 16 yr old girl with a 16 yr old mindset and a grown womans body, who need to be placated with constant sexual comments to deal with a convoluted story that will inevitably make zero sense until its laid out for you before the literal end of the game.
Its bad. Its good. Its so shallow and its unbelievable that they thought having the plot twist make ZERO sense until they showed CUTSCENES of YOUR character discussing Goro and his connections to the metaverse for endgame SHOCK VALUE was more important than just having your team be smart and piece it together over time. Its shit. Its literally amazing. It let you FUCK your teacher ??????????????what the FUCK. They also let me shoot a god in the face w the best looking ult persona in the world so i can ignore that shit. And ultimately that is how i got through the game. Lol.
#chattin#answered#i have mentioned it before but i did NOT romance anyone#u know why? bc i literally didnt know it existed#i maxed out ann and the game was like ‘hey. this next decision is important’#and i was like. huh. u know what. i have not looked up a guide until now. thats scary. i dont want to lose a confidant…#and learned that.#so uh. i really DID go through the game bot realizing i could date anyone. even the adults.#anyway. this was alot. and i tried to keep out alot of my other complaints#bc i have so many. but they are like. either nitpicky things or things that are issues in lots of games too#like the models suck in this game but i can look past that. graphics are always bottom on the list of complaints#and i do like the little animations!! i like akiras little tics#and i like seeing personas do their casting animations; shiki ouji and nekomata are my faves#i distinctly remember that being a thing i wished to see more of.#bc i liked thinking of what joker would look like fighting for Real#and then i remembered him being in smash so i was like COOL. ill look at those#and then i got STRIKERS and it was exactly what I wanted#i think#the game is like.#its bad. but in ways that i wouldnt call another game bad#like back 4 blood is BAD bad. its awful. the gameplay is bad. the story was shit. and the servers shut down within a year or two of launch#risk of rain 2 is bad in the way that it continuously obscures and withholds information to the player. its tedious and frustrating#but unlike b4b i LIKE ror2 and will continue to enjoy it.#bc the gameplay loop FEELS satisfying#and ultimately thats how i feel about p5#for all of its faults; its fun. it has a gameplay loop that is consistent and fun when u get the hang of it#im playing on hard again since merciless is just me making the right instakill builds while i pick up my team over and over again#and theres still a challenge in having the endgame weapons and armor#its satisfying! and i think its satisfying bc I was given the luck of having this be my introduction into the series#maybe i would have a better opinion on the game if i came from p4. or maybe not! who knows !

okay, but i need to know how the rf1 and frontier divide works with the time loop theory
Honesty here; my thoughts on the Time Loop usually go from rf1 -> rf2, especially with various headcanons of mine that I would be using [Prime example being this blog supports a 'rf2 Kyle is the son of rf1's Lynette', which makes a 'bad ending' Sechs victory in 1 suddenly open up with a million game 2 possibilities- Antagonist Kyle!]
HOWEVER.
Given how there are a couple different thought paths with 1, Frontier, and the rest of the universe, the Time Loop setup I've made could be super fun? For example;
"Rune Factory ends, Raguna unmarried, and we roll right into Frontier." This seems to be what I think is implied!
"Rune Factory ends, something happens and forces Frontier to happen." My personal choice is to see it this way; the move was not voluntary.
"RF1 and Frontier are the same characters but separate." I've toyed with this before, with how the game barely touches on old things, with how we have to re-meet Mist, Rosetta, Lara, etc- and, well. Given that it's a GAME, made by a company, for a then-new console, it makes sense that the scene is standalone. Which means, one can consider it the story, and rf1 a different starting story.
I could see that Time Loop setup causing all 3 of those to be true, in different versions. 1, we chase Raguna right into Trampoli; 2, we have a brand new Anime Dead Wife opportunity; 3, we keep him out of Kardia altogether, what happens then?
Now that you HAVE me thinking as I type, though...
Given how Frontier, rf3 and rf4 talk so much about the depleting rune energy in the entire damn world, how you are punished so heavily for ignoring that balance in Frontier if you ignore the Runeys.... I think it could be very fun to imagine that Frontier events have to happen.
Stopping the extra depletion of rune energy could give extra time for Aquaticus to work on his area's problem, and also buy Venti a few more years to live as the 4 events are put into place..
Which also leaves some wonderful open doors for "Raguna had to live on the run" theories I've seen (esp from friends of mine) that come from the Ethelberd violence that ramps up between 1 and 4. Earthmates being hunted down and whatnot. Raguna was already chased from Kardia, and Trampoli isn't exactly a fort of safety, especially when Empire eyes have already discovered it... A super tiny town he'd rather have be safe...
So. Maybe Frontier has to be a "Fixed Point" in the universe (NOTE; I don't watch Doctor Who, but I've always recalled that term as it is so useful). We need it to happen. And maybe that means accidentally erasing family happiness from 1 in order to for sure chase the boy into Frontier!
All this being fun speculation, of course, and thank you for the chance to think about it!! As I genuinely had not factored in that game into my thinking!!

ok then i raise you one: how do i spot an entp?
Hellooo anon (who I should've responded to months ago),
How does one spot an entp? Truly, I think we're pretty easy to spot, albeit maybe not super super common ~5th least common, so it's not too bad.
ENTPs walk the line between the traditional definitions of introvert and extrovert. So we're not always spot-able, especially if we're drained or not too interested in the conversation around us. I just note this to say that it's not witty-town all year round. Also, when we're younger, many things that we say are misses more than hits so another note depending on your age!
ENTPs will want to discuss to understand (not to offend, though sometimes it may come off as argumentative). Truly we just like understanding things on all sides directly, and so you might hear an ENTP bouncing different angles of a problem very objectively, and very openly/comfortably agreeing or disagreeing with people.
If you notice someone who is just super charming and witty... and then you don't see them, talk to them, hear from them for months, and then suddenly they're there again and wow, still a charmer, are they flirting with you, wow they know everyone, oop they're gone again....... ya that's an ENTP
we will lose interest in things
also or not sometimes we don't lose interest in things
i just have lost interest
so sorry

I wonder why Soul doesn't ever stop events in the loop from happening? Like, if he remembers the loops, he should remember the events. And if he remembers the events, he could stop the more serious ones like our dearly named Juno Incident. So why doesn't he?
One reason I've seen flying around is that its set in stone always. That one way or another someone will shoot a gun. That ones fun, but its also pretty limited by true time loop variants of HMS typically. Also I have a personal distaste for deterministic worldviews lmao I want them to have some free will.
A second one I've seen flying about is that putting off certain events results in worse ones. Like if Heart doesn't shoot at the Sun with a gun, something worse will happen during the loop to make up for it. This one's also fun to play with but uhhhh tends to be really really deep into torture porn territory if done wrong.
Third one is pretty limited to Souls deep in the loop soup. Tried and true "He's just given up it repeats anyways even if he changes things". I like this one. Very nihilistic. Typical for Souls that have been Through the Horrors for thousands of loops and are now just Going Through The Motions.
I've also seen some analysis that claim that Soul ALSO forgets the exact events of the loop after a certain point in the album. He only remembers their existence, and not the events contained inside. This one, very fun, very rarely used, truly people need to get on this train more you could so easily make him blame himself for not remembering what might happen and being unable to stop it. So much Soul angst potential.
Anyways that was a really long way to lead into what I think is why. I commit the Unholy Combination of "fuck it multiple". Ehhh people who read my fics might have seen me describe it a couple of times already.
Basically I think that he starts of only remembering the existence of the loops, ala option 3 mentioned above. But as events happen he Remembers every looped version of it happening post-event. Not before it happens, not as its happening, after its already happened and nothing can be changed, and suddenly he can remember the times upon times that the same event has happened before. Also entirely viable in a "the loop is just a loop of mental health" versions where time does not truly go backwards.
So much space for Soul angst potential. He doesn't know its coming so its a surprise every single time and the reaction is his natural first reaction. He remembers after and hates that he didn't know early enough to stop it. He knows every slightly different way an event has gone. As the loops pile up so do the number of memories he regains each time and isn't that just fodder for Soul being Too Tired the longer a loop drags? Weight of the world, weight of ever-increasing memories.
(ALSO as a side point please play more with the "The brain is not made to hold this many memories" concept please please it is so easy to make him Tired and Old and Nihilistic and not doing anything anymore, but way more fun to have him actively fight that mindset and try so hard to stay optimistic. The optimistic one especially is so fun.)

Okay hi I’m being very annoying about the Deja Vu AU right now but. As time gets reset more and more do you think Cross would start losing it and hallucinating seeing blood on himself. So he slowly begins wearing darker and darker clothes to cover it up and “hide” the blood stains (they don’t exist). And after long enough he’d go from no gloves to partial gloves to full gloves because the sight of his hands is too much because he can so clearly see the blood on the white of his bones. So at the beginning of the AU he’s a combination of blacks and whites and lighter colors and tends to wear whatever but at the end he’s fully covered head to toe in blacks and greys with the only bone exposed being his face
OHHHH MY GOD. solluna your brain. what the hell
i’m obsessed with that actually that’s so real christ
i think he wouldnt go anywhere near mirrors too. because maybe the resets get so blurred in his mind at a point that whatever he sees in them is him at a point in the loop he never wants to see; he has to see himself scared, running, covered in blood, red and blue lights bathing his back. and in a mirror he would be able to actually see the blood he imagines on his face, the last part he can’t cover up
and do you think he would hallucinate blood on killer, too. because he can’t do anything about what killer wears. do you think after a point, the next time the loop starts over and he sees killer again, he sees him covered in blood. but he can’t do anything about it. maybe he tries, but killer just brushes him off like he’s acting weird. so he has to see flashes of killer stained with blood (both his own and someone else’s) over and over again, both real and the products of his own mind.

Something really annoying about the epidemic of “big dick” in everything is that I’m starting to realize I have a really skewed view of the proportions of the whole thing. Which is fucking with me, because for the longest time one of my biggest sources of euphoria is the day to day/non-sexual experience of having a penis, and now I’m realizing the picture in my head is all wrong.
Annoyingly it seems like another short guy oversight, where the jokification and subtle emasculation of shorter men (as a way of upholding not only white standards of masculinity as well as boosting the idea that gender differences are inherent to sex (theyre not)) genuinely decrease the amount of information about there about short men and their bodies.

🥰📚✨ for the fic recs ask game!! (and never apologize for drarry <3)
Cass you are always indulging me, and just because of that all of these are going to be Drarry, thank you<3
🥰 A fic that gives you warm fuzzy feelings
The first one I can think of is Thermodynamic Equilibrium by DorthyAnn on ao3 which is hot/cold dynamics and cuddling and fluff in general so, highly recommended!!
📚 A fic you wish you could display on your bookshelf
I will always rec this fic but Harry Potter and the Welcome to the World of Grey by @sobcicles and its sequel Draco Malfoy and the Path to Paradise, those two are one of the best duologies I've read in a long time. The storytelling is marvellous and the author works with morality and violence and anger beautifully, I re-read it whenever I have time because it feels like coming home<3 I hope I can book-bind them someday because I love them so<3
✨ A fic you wish you could read again for the first time
There are two in specific that comes to mind at the moment, the first one is Now I Know In Part by @dodgerkedavra who writes Drarry beautifully and I was so enthralled by that fic that I couldn't put it down once I started reading it, the idea, the execution, their dynamic is just so good. The second one is The Greatest Game by @sleepstxtic-drarry and for the life of me I know next to nothing about tennis, but you don't need to, in order to read this fic. Is one of those fics when you can tell the author knows so much about a certain subject you can'.t help but enjoy it. The tension, the narrative, the rivalry, it has it all.
I wish I could read these for the first time again.

Okay. Babe. My mutual in closest proximity. Talk to me about Stargate Atlantis pls.
OHMYGOD. okay. okay. i accidentally wrote you an essay. i'm not sure how much of it is coherent. i love u thank u for sending me this it made my night. <3
disclaimer: i'm so new. many people know much more than i do. and i still have about a season and a half left; i've been watching with a bestie so i've been forced to pace myself more than i would otherwise.
plot/premise: SGA is a spinoff of a movie (Stargate) and another show (Stargate SG-1). i was told, repeatedly, to watch the others first, but i'm impatient...i was a little confused but i got the gist eventually. ANYWAY. it's like...the lost city of atlantis has been located, except it's in another galaxy, and a group of scientists and military fools are going there for an expedition to like...explore/learn things? they're kind of in space, but it doesn't feel like that too much—by my standards, at least, and i am a known hater of media that takes place entirely in space. there's a team, they're a family, they get into Situations...u know the drill.
why i, specifically, enjoy the show:
john sheppard. JOHN. SHEPPARD. babe, i have not been this down bad for a character since DEREK HALE. im NOT KIDDING. i wanted to say more about him but i don't feel qualified enough to have my own thoughts yet. (or at least, i still feel shy about saying them out loud on the internet. i can and will go on and on about him in private, though.)
i did go into this for john sheppard. i will fully admit that. (i had a few mutuals who'd put him on my dash every so often and i could just tell he was gonna do me in.) HOWEVER. i am falling in love with nearly every single character. the character development is genuinely some of the best i've seen, and the way the team gradually turns into family who have each others' backs no matter what?? I'M EATING IT UP. (here is a video of the team, i CANNOT talk about each of them individually, i'd be here all night.)
john and rodney's dynamic is DELICIOUS. they're both obnoxiously intelligent (and they're both obnoxious, but in different ways). they annoy each other. they delight in each other's presence. they're teammates. they're best friends. they keep each other alive they'd do anything for each other they know each other better than they know themselves. (AND I KNOW I'M ONLY SCRATCHING THE SURFACE OF IT MYSELF, BECAUSE I HAVEN'T EVEN FINISHED THE SHOW.......)(here is a video bc there's no way my words are gonna do it justice.)(also here are more words.)
the fic is SO good, too, and it's been especially fun bc the authors of a lot of my fav sterek fics had also written for sga back in the day, and getting to read stuff from them that i hadn't read yet....aughhhh. i love fandom.
the dialogue is hilarious, the situations are WILD (cannot tell you how many times i've been like WHO WAS IN THE WRITERS ROOM HOW DID THEY COME UP WITH THIS), and generally i'm just having such a great time.
in conclusion (bc i'm cutting myself off here), i'm never really sure whether i should recommend things to people or not bc my own tastes are basically just whatever happens to hit the unpredictable switch in my brain, but GENUINELY it's just SO FUN. i'm having the time of my life. i cannot shut up about it. <3

Hey, you seem like a big warriors fan on tumblr. I keep seeing Warriors stuff on my feed. Thinking about potentially reading the books, but do you have any tips when there are literally eight major arcs, with six books in each, not including the standalone stuff. I’m really curious and I don’t have a lot of space in my house for 50 new books, do you know about any way to kind of pare down the amount of reading necessary. Do you need to read every single book to understand what’s going on? Or do you just need to know the stuff about the most recent arc(broken code) and the recent new book(Starless Clan: River) to fit in with the fandom? Any books I don’t have to read and I’ll still be fine?
Hi!!! So, in terms of not having room in your house for a ton of new books, I can definitely recommend using your local library or reading free pdfs online (or buying them if u prefer)! There are also plenty of audiobooks too :)
As for reading them at all, I’d honestly suggest reading the first arc (The Prophecies Begin) both because it’s the start of it all and bc I think it does a great job at establishing the world building and all that! Plus, the protagonist is like the most famous cat of em all LOL. Aside from that, I think the most “important” arcs are probably The Power of Three, Omen of the Stars, and The Broken Code, personally, but I do also love the rest and would recommend all of them if you have the time. I think the prequel series, Dawn of the Clans, is the least relevant at this point of time in the fandom? U don’t need to read any (all?) of the novellas/mangas/super editions to know what’s up rn but they are oftentimes a good read—just not necessary. The Warriors wiki has both simplified and detailed plot descriptions for every book that you can skim through instead of reading the whole book if you’d rather catch up sooner than later.
Also, there’s no need to Fit In with the fandom or anything. I don’t know if I’m even necessarily a big part of it, I just like engaging with it and other fans and making some art, that’s all. I haven’t read tooooo much besides the main arcs, actually, so there’s a lot I’m missing on the sidelines!
Ehhhh this is a lot, sorry, but TL;DR: start with the first arc, and use online resources or the library if you don’t want to buy books. Get into it bc u like it, not bc u want to join a fandom :P
