Naoya who forces the beautiful shy heiress of another clan to be his wife and mother to his future sons?

Constantly breeding her every night to make sure she’s carrying his heirs?

-> yes yes & yes

⚠️: NONCON, misogyny (it’s naoya💀), unprotected sex, objectification, meek!reader, dacryphilia, choking, rough sex, virgin!reader, abusive!naoya, Stockholm Syndrome

Ever since you were a little girl, you had a crush on Gojo Satoru, your neighbour

His clan was friendly with yours, often stopping by to share some fruits and vegetables they grew in their garden

Gojo would often come over to play, (we’ll mostly show off his technique but you didn’t mind because it was fascinating).

Once you hit the awkward teenage phase, Gojo stopped talking to you entirely and you were upset about it

You secretly hoped to be wedded to him one day. So you didn’t bother to scout, because maybe one day the Gojo clan will come over and ask for your hand in marriage.

But years later, hope was crushed when the Gojo clan announced that they had found the perfect wife for Satoru and well, it wasn’t you.

So now your family is in full search for a man who will marry you.

Every man they spoke to were pretty mediocre, definitely not from the top three families but hey, neither were you.

Your family had finally found a man they were satisfied with. He came from a reputable family, his technique was fine, and honestly, he was just the best option for you.

You had yet to meet him. But there was a gathering happening on Saturday where you’ll meet him, his family and get engaged.

You would’ve preferred to get to know him a little before slipping a ring on, but you already wasted so much time waiting for Satoru, and now your family’s on your tail to get married.

Before Saturday could happen, Friday did.

You came home from town, not expecting to be greeted by the Zen’in family in your living room.

You blood freezes, in shock, because they’re a prestigious family, sitting in your living room.

They had never spoken to your clan, let alone come to your home, so your mind filled up with a million different thoughts

Was a war about to start? Was there betrayal amongst the clans? Has someone lost their life?

You look around, the whole Zen’in family was there, even the two little girls, seated in their mothers lap

Then your eyes catch his.

Naoya. You knew about him, knew that he was a not so nice person. He had a superiority complex and god, you hated people like him. (Kinda ironic because you had a crush on Gojo, but whateva)

When you snap back to reality, you give a deep bow, showing your respect to the family and they all watch. They eyes are glued to you, like you’re the reason why they’re here in the first place.

That’s when Naoya stands in front of you, you look up and his eyes narrow down on you, his lips twitching into a smirk.

“I’m here to ask for your hand in marriage.”

Your heart drops, eyes widening at his statement

You turn your head to your mother and she looks at you excitedly

Right, this is the Zen’in clan. This would boost your family’s reputation tremendously. They’re wealthy, powerful, influential, and yet they’re here, asking for a nobody’s hand.

It’s not like you had a choice in the matter.

He pulls out a box, flipping it open to show off the ring. The diamond glimmers on its own, and you’re mesmerized.

The ring was a perfect fit, the stone laying effortlessly on your finger, like it’s meant to be

The wedding happens a week after. It was beautiful, elegant, an event where all the clans put their differences aside and came to celebrate your unity

But it didn’t take long for Naoya to start showing his true colours.

You knew that he could be insufferable, but a small part of you hoped that maybe he would show you a different side

In some way he did kinda show you a different side. Just not the one you were hoping for.

On your wedding night, he had you back in his room, legs spread as you took your purity.

You were truthful, telling him that this was your first time, and you thought there would be a mutual understanding that he needs to be gentle.

But Naoya? Gentle? Nah.

His hand wrapped around your throat, squeezing it when you cried a little too hard. He didn’t let you adjust, instead he slapped your ass and told you to, “shut the fuck up and take it.”

You bled down on the white sheet, one hand clawing around his wrist that was keeping your neck pinned down, while the other helplessly pushed on his chest.

But there was no use. He was too much bigger, too much stronger. Naoya had zero self control, especially when it came to you because he’s waited for you for so long.

Your beauty and gracefulness captured his eyes.

He remembers the first time he saw you, it was in town. You were with your friend, shopping around for cute kimonos.

You were glowing, an absolute sight for the eyes. You were soft-spoken, sweet and gentle. You unconsciously looked for the good in people and man, that made Naoya wanna corrupt the fuck out of you.

He watched the way you cared for others. He watched you plan and create goodie bags for the less fortunate. Always giving and giving, because it made you happy.

He knew that you would be an amazing mother for his children. So when word went around that you were getting engaged on Saturday, he gathered his family on Friday morning, announced that he would like to wed to you, and by lunch, his entire clan was in your home.

He didn’t care that you were from a less powerful clan.

A. because he can protect you

B. One more thing he can hold over your head

“You’re a fucking nobody, that’s what you are! Nobody would even know your fucking name if it weren’t for me, slut.”

Naoya sucked the life out of you. Constantly breeding you and berating you to be a women, to cook and clean, all while bearing his child.

He honestly gave no fucks about how you were doing. He didn’t view you as your own person. He viewed you as his. So if he told you to stop crying, you better stop fucking crying or it’ll lead to a harder punishment.

He ended up expanding his family’s home, creating a wing where he could use and abuse you relentlessly.

When you gave him his first son, he was proud, and adored his son. But soon after giving birth, you were back in your room, screams muffled with a pillow as he pounds another kid into you.

The worst part of it all was, nobody was able to help you. Everyone saw the way Naoya treated you, but if you dared to speak against him, quite frankly you were asking for a death wish.

So you sucked it up. You selflessly got yourself into even more trouble when you noticed how they abused Maki. You would stop your husband, begging him not to hurt her and to take it out on you instead.

He gladly did.

The only time where he wasn’t fully hurting you was when you were pregnant. Not because he had mercy on you, he just didn’t wanna hurt his children.

You suffered for years. Then Stockholm Syndrome did its thing. You became so reliant on him, he made you that way.

You still tried to raise your kids the best you could, raise them to be nothing like their father.

You could only hope for the best.

Sorry for the shit ending, I didn’t know how to end it off😭

all about introjects!

INTRODUCTION & DISCLAIMER: This post has been on the back burner for months, but was inspired by recent incorrect information spreading regarding introjects (i.e. 9/10 introjects are factives of abusers) This will be a long post so strap in! Each subtopic will be divided into sections for easy viewing.

Section 1: Clarification On What "Introjects" Are.

When I talk about introjects I am talking about 3 specific types of introjects:

Standard Introjects These are the most common type of introject. Most fictive/factives fit into this category as a Standard Introject simply introject few or many personality traits/quirks from something pre-existing.

Concept Introjects These are introjects that are founded on a concept. For us they usually happen when gaining an introject that we are unfamiliar of the source - so the traits that are introjected are assumptions we made.

Grounded Introjects These are introjects that aren't really introjects at all. They have their own unique personality traits and qualities but have their identity tied to a pre-existing character in order to be grounded to reality.

There are some gray areas and some parts that will not fit into these categories, and that's okay. There are some parts who will present as a Standard Introject but refuse to identify with the label of "Introjects". It's important to remember that if a part wants to identify as an introject that decision is ultimately up to them and them only.

Section 2: Introject Rarity/Prevalence Outside DID

Introjects aren't rare. Many people like to act like introjects are a super rare phenomenon and therefore all introject heavy systems must be lying or faking - but that's not the case. Simply put? Introjects are drawing their identity from a pre-existing source.

It's not limited to DID either! Sometimes people want to base their identity off a character they like (have you ever seen the people who spend thousands on surgeries to look like a celebrity?) and there's nothing wrong with that. Other disorders that present with identity issues also have introjection such as autism and BPD. It's just not that much of a big deal! It can happen and there's nothing wrong with it when it happens.

If you're interested in learning more: here's a Wikipedia article about (non DID specific) introjection!

Section 3: Types of Introject Sources

When looking at the discussion of introjects online there are two types of statements I see often - "Most introjects are of abusers" & "Most introjects should be from childhood/of childhood media"

I've extensively looked online and I cannot find any verifiable statistics regarding the prevalence of the types of introject sources, so I'm going to go off a purely anecdotal and logical lens.

For us personally? Of all our introjects approximately 5% are of past abusers. It's important to note that even if you know a system you will not know whether they have introjects of abusers! Most of our parts who are introjects from abusers feel incredibly ashamed by it and have distanced themselves from their source. It's very difficult for them to have their identity tied to such horrible people and it's a secret they prefer to keep. I don't really understand that view that the most common introject are of abusers, there may be a need to introject for protection/dealing with trauma but abusers are not going to have "admirable traits" and at a certain point there isn't going to be a need for the brain to introject more of them.

Childhood introjects! Now this is something I like to talk about! Oddly enough, many of our introjects from childhood have showed up later in our recovery process as they held trauma we were not able to handle at the start of our recovery. It makes sense logically that if you are heavily prone to introjection in adulthood, you probably were heavily prone to introjection in childhood and visa versa! And that's the part that most people don't understand, they will argue that most introjects should be from childhood and neglect the fact that it makes sense logically that someone who had many introjects as a child will also have many introjects as an adult.

Section 4: Hyperfixations & Introjects

This is one of the possibly most misunderstood part of introjects. You cannot have introjects from a hyperfixation ALONE - due to the fact that all splits are going to be negatively induced. But if you are experiencing stress and trauma while you have a hyperfixation? Of course it's possible.

Let me break it down for you and explain how a hyperfixation takes over your brain. You find this new thing (show, game, etc) and it's something you really enjoy. So for the next two weeks every waking moment you spend interacting with the hyperfixation. You go to sleep thinking about your hyperfixation, you wake up excited to interact with your hyperfixation. You disengage completely with the outside world and escape into this hyperfixation. It controls every aspect of your life and you just have to comply with the hyperfixation in order to get your happy brain chemicals.

So... Why is it such a strange concept to gain an introject during that time? It's in your brain 24/7 for an extended period of time, why would it be odd for the hyperfixation to influence your split?

Thank you for reading if you made it this far!!! I've been meaning to make this post for SOO long!! I hope you learnt something and if you didn't, I hope my words resonated with you! 🩷

[quinngefail]

You can answer this privately if you want but I wanted to know your opinion on apprentice Lawrence? Very so valid if you don’t like it coz different strokes for different folks and also coming from a place of genuine curiosity :0

Coz I got my idea of the whole Saw universe but I defo LOVE to hear others on their thoughts and ideas of the universe 👀

Okay lmao time to be a little hater on main

Putting a cut coz this got to be a bit long HSKS

But yeah uhhh. I completely despise it, I've said it across scattered posts here but truly and genuinely there is nothing in this franchise that I dislike more. It just makes my eyes glaze over so fucking fast, man 😩

Like. Putting aside any attachments I have to the character, the concept in itself is just so forced to me. Like ermmm wouldn't it be freaking crazy if we brought Lawrence back, but he's like kinda fr*cked up and evil now 😱 regardless of if it makes sense for his character or not 😱 it'll go hard fr, coz like dude HE'S FROM THE FIRST MOVIE!! and now we're on The Final Chapter so we have to do something crazy, so GUY FROM THE FIRST MOVIE IS BACK and you won't see it coming but he's evil now 😱 that'd be crazy fr!!!

And I know I'm much more biased towards stories of redemption, + I'm not gonna act like my opinion is fact or anything. But to me, it's just so frustrating that he has this whole arc in the first movie only for it to be thrown away in favor of something that feels so fucking abrupt and jarring for him 😔

And people can call me 'Too Ship-Brained' all they want, or that I'm into 'sanitized' content, but it's just. 1) I would feel this way regardless of chainshipping 2) I'm just personally way more interested in seeing someone trying to recover from the situation he went through; trying to grapple with the trauma and his new reality, while also taking the initiative to become a better person.

And idk people may look at that and be like "Oh so you're validating John's methods, then" but I feel like the statements "yes this did help me wake up to my flaws and how my actions affect others, and now I want to work to become better" and "but no one else should go ever have to go through what I went through" can co-exist, and I personally just. Do not see Lawrence taking the route he does in canon

Obviously he's made some horrible decisions (as we very clearly see in the first movie), and no amount of personal inner turmoil should excuse that. I do feel like he is a good person at his core though, but he had lost sight of how to be that person. And I'm just way more interested in seeing his journey to becoming that person and living as happily as he can over whatever the fuck is happening in canon lmao 😩

And like I don't doubt that there is an interesting story to be told with his canon self, and I also don't want to make anyone feel bad or belittled for enjoying canon. I also know there are also people who have put a lot of thought and care into headcanons and characterizations based on his canon self, and I don't want to just dismiss all that effort,, it's just not my cup of tea at the end of the day. And I'm very fine with people feeling that way about the way I prefer to characterize him :]

Idk. I see the whole tragedy that canon presents, but I'm just way more interested in exploring a different kind of tragedy with these characters 😩

I do try to keep this to myself, coz it's like. I'd rather just focus on creating what makes me happy vs. stewing over shit that frustrates me and taking that out on other people in petty ass discourse, y’know-

I've said it before but ultimately I'm just here to have a fun time, and even if I don't fuck with Apprentice Lawrence at all, I will still fall asleep and wake up all the same. At the end of the day these are fictional characters and my life will go on lmao

But yeah uhhh. Don't expect to see any Apprentice Lawrence content around here, I truly just cannot fuckin stand it so I choose to look away 🙌

I'm also a diehard Luke Skywalker fan in a world where that fuck ass sequel trilogy exists so like ignoring canon + entire movies is nothing new for me HESKGRKGK

Those are my thoughts though, thank you for reading if you made it this far :]

[rave-rz]

That’s a fair statement. Given how obvious the favouritism feels I can’t fault anyone for thinking so. Personally I’m of the opinion that a part of the reason is because of just how much more popular Bakugou became compared to Izuku. But we can only speculate.

I do think characters like Bakugou can be ‘redeemed’ in the sense that they can have a well written arc about dealing with the repercussions of their actions and continuing on with their life. Bakugou I think as a concept could’ve been more interesting and better written then he was if they kept on with the ‘1-A doesn’t like Bakugou cause of his attitude and prefers Izuku’ and instead of writing a compete 180 with the class’ thoughts on Bakugou, he could’ve dealt with it and the possible reveal of the reasoning behind his and Izuku’s ‘friendship’ (it could also be a private thing between the two).

I will always prefer flawed characters struggling to be better (while still dealing with what they’ve already done) over what Horikoshi did with Bakugou, who went too hard at the start and spent the rest of the manga acting like it didn’t happen.

The main victims of issues in MHA are definitely held to a certain standard that’s not great imo. Izuku isn’t allowed to think badly of Bakugou, he’s a great hero. Eri isn’t allowed to act out, she’s emotionally repressed but not too much so that she’s difficult to deal with. Shouto isn’t allowed to be mad at Endeavor, Touya did that and was a criminal, Natsuo did that and was framed as in the wrong. Rei, I’m convinced was switched with a body double at some point cause that 180 is wild. Kota wasn’t allowed to stay mad and upset that his parents were dead, instead he was basically surrounded by people thinking they were great heroes, and not that they were his parents.

Those critiques were everything I hoped they would be. Now tell us about MHA.

Are your grievances the same as our grievances? Where'd the show lose you? What arc had the glasses come off?

A lot of my issues with My Hero Academia are pretty easy to find on tumblr, I reblog some of my favourite posts from time to time but the posts I tend to agree the most about are from Justatalkingface, Bibibbon and Saphhic-Agent, as well as A List Exists on Youtube. This is gonna be hard to explain my thoughts on so LONG RANT Incoming lmao. My thoughts ended up going everywhere so nothings really all that ordered rip.

Regarding when the show started to lose my interest? It's a bit embarrassing to admit, but I started off enjoying my time but once we got to the Sports festival I started to lose the wind in my sails. I already have loads of issues with Bakugo but my main gripe with him started during the sports festival, how a big of a deal the story made his fight with Uraraka. How he was taking her seriously from the very beginning. Except that's hard for me to believe when this is pretty much the only time I can remember him ever fighting the way he did during the manga, standing still and waiting for his opponents moves. When does he ever do that?? Starting at this point in the story you realize Horikoshi has favourites and you can tell which ones lol. It's Aizawa, Bakugo and Endeavor. Now I understand these are the characters that people love and they make money but still, if I can feel your favoritism through the pages? That's not good. Horikoshi has a habit of stating things and just sorta expecting the readers to deal with it? Like there's no easing into anything it's just 'this is happening, I hope you accept it cause we're moving on, now turn the page'. He states there was GENOCIDE that happened towards people with mutant quirks, moving on. He implies quirkless people are also discriminated against, moving on. He introduces the quirk singularity and the possible end of the world, we're moving on. Hell he kills off his main 3 antagonists, having his 3 main characters effectively fail and yet we still move on, only Uraraka got to actually react to anything and even then it's not great since she's blaming herself for getting stabbed.

He also seems to develop a hatred for introspection as the series goes on? By the end we're left mostly speculating on major character's thoughts and motivations, we don't really know why Deku decided to become a teacher or what he thought of Shigaraki and what happened to him, we don't know how Dabi felt in his last moments, or more importantly how Shouto felt about the ending of the fight (I mean, he specifically invented a move to beat Dabi without hurting him (cold fire, sure) but not only is his brother going to die but his 'failure' caused his other siblings and mother to step in and get permanently injured, how does he feel about that??). Characters slowly become a hivemind towards the end, all having the same opinions on the events (Everyone reacted pretty much the same to Aoyama's traitor reveal, despite no one ever really interacting with him and if they did, they didn't seem like him all that much). Characters just aren't allowed to be wrong it feels, in the sense that if they come to a conclusion and it's not the factually correct one, it's pretty quickly corrected by another character like Deku. Admittedly this one might be spotty since I remember thinking this but at the same time my mind cannot come up with a specific example, it might be in the todoroki family sub arc.

Now when it comes to the characters, I actually like the idea of characters more than the actual characters since I don't like how Horikoshi decided to write 90% of his characters. Like Hawks could've been really cool if he wasn't regulated to a sidekick by the end. One character I have very strong opinions on is Dabi, I hate how he was written and by extension Endeavor and the rest of the Todoroki subplot.

Now uh, here is a hot take: I didn't like Dabi's dance (as a reveal). As a chapter it was really cool! But as a reveal of Dabi is Touya it felt less like a reveal to the characters and more of a confirmation to the readers that they were right and this chapters a little treat for waiting so long for this reveal to happen.

Cause let's be honest, almost everybody pegged Dabi as a Todoroki, even before people knew Shouto had multiple siblings and Touya was revealed to be 'dead'. It was practically treated as canon for fanfic writers. But as the manga went on it never brought up Touya or the traitor at all until the last sprint and boom we got Dabi's dance and THEN we'll get his backstory. Because readers got Dabi first, tying him to Touya who we don't get any info on until after he's revealed to be Dabi. A lot of their reactions end up being

because logically, why should they care? Who Touya was has been essentially a non-factor to the entire story. No one has every talked about him, we know absolutely nothing regarding who he was until after Dabi's dance. The reader's opinion on Dabi has been made by this point in the story (290 chapters in) and it's too late to change it with just a sad backstory. (haine-Kleine made a really good post regarding it). Not to mention everything Dabi did meant literally nothing since not a damn person reacted to him brocasting that he was 1. a murderer, 2. the #1 hero's supposed dead eldest son (now a murderer), and 3. abused by said hero along with the rest of the family. Like nothing came from that at all, even the main character told him that Endeavor's trying to change as a rebuttal. So nice going Dabi, your on roll with failing lol. Onto Endeavor cause I'm gonna be quick lol. His atonement arc sucks since not only did he not really do anything to acheive that. He just kept repeating how he intends to atone, and the best (and probably only) way to work towards that would be for him to confront Touya as a father and not a hero. Except no, he not only sends Shouto to deal with Touya (so he and hawks can fight the more important thing), but when he does deal with Touya it's cause he had too (and it was done as a hero). In the end he just sorta lost nothing of significance? He's in a wheelchair yeah but that's not really what I call a concequence to his shitty behavior. He retired as a hero sure, but he was always gonna do that. Bro could've been cool if the story kept him as a heavily flawed individual who actively tried to improve knowing he'd lose more than he'd gain, but instead every character gasses him up lol. This is getting too long so I'm gonna touch briefly on 2 more things and that's it lol. The ending 'solves' most of it's issues by essentially saying 'our people are in charge so we're doing it right'. Hawks is HPSC president and he's just better at it I guess, Uraraka is expanding quirk counseling (despite not know what the issues were? And also just not mentioning Toga ever) and Shouji is helping stop the heteromorph racism peacefully. Again, we're back to 'we're moving on' since these guys are fixing these issues! How? Don't worry about it, turn the page. Finally, a I would've loved to see more focus on the 'academia' part of the story. Despite Horikoshi clearly being uninterested in UA as a concept. He tries to make you believe 1-A is this found family which given their interactions, I don't believe for a goddamn second. We know barely anything about the any character and any tidbits we do know are from character sheets outside the story. The 'academia' in My hero Academia could've been the time to learn about characters and develop them/their relationships. Learn why each of them wanted to even be there. Cause every character is quite literally a 'good person' in the 'I wanna be a hero to save people' way. Which isn't inherently bad but if every character is like this? No thanks. This is why I don't like Stain (Man showed up in the end, was a hinderance and then died), he's introduced along with the idea that people in this world choose to be heroes for multi reasons. Some do it to save people but some also do it for the paycheck. Yet every character we see has that 'instinct to save those in danger' no matter their attitude, the only exceptions to this are Endeavor and Mineta. One of which is admired as a good hero or person who's trying to be good by the cast and the other is someone no one takes seriously. Even Uraraka was introduced as being in it for the paycheck, but pretty quickly overshadow by her learning how much she wants to help others. Okay I'm cutting myself off there lmao. But yeah, A lot of my complaints are pretty common I think. I started having issues with the story starting at the Sports festival/Stain arcs but Overhaul was awful. Final arc was even worse lol.

[curedigiqueen]

In my opinion Precure is at its best when it incorporates the communities that the girls are protecting into it.

This of course stems all the way back from the original Futari wa. That shows main premise is "Ordinary days and people are important", and is by nature a normal slice of life whose drama is highlighted by the lengths Nagisa and Honoka go to protect it. As such, the girls have an extensive supporting cast, and the climatic battles often feature some level of emotional support by the supporting cast, even if they're not literally physically present. The girls are the vessels through whom humanities collective will to live is channeled. We spend our time witnessing this will within the people in the girls communities.

I've mentioned before how big a theme of community is in Fresh. There are a ton of minor side characters who make brief but frequent appearances to help flesh out this bustling city. In the end the girls reveal themselves to their community.

Princess and Heartcatch make great use of the victim of the week format to help build a strong supporting cast, understanding the motivations of these characters, who in turn help support the Cures in some way during the 11th hour.

This is part of what makes Happiness Charge and Doki Doki fall relatively flat to me. Their supporting casts aren't as fully developed. There's more one off victims. But there are still moments where this aspect shines, to me in Doki Doki in the involvement of the girl's families. The moment where Mana shouts her identity as Cure Heart is fantastic to me, I can practically see the gears turning in the family member's heads. The Oh Shit of it all.

While an identity reveal isn't a prerequisite for a strong sense of community it certainly contributes to the feelings. Both Futari wa's manage to have a strong sense of community, despite their final fights taking place when earth is reduced to a barren wasteland devoid of people, the fact they still take place on earth helps them make heavy use of the fact that despite being currently devoid of life these are places where there are meant to be life, and where life can exist again.

It's a big part of why while I love Suite, I feel it's objectively weaker than it's two predecessors despite mimicking them in so many aspects. In fact it's probably tied with the futari wa's for my favorite season. But I don't think it's nearly as good as it could be in part because of the lack of community compared to its predecessors. But what we do get of Kanon owns majority real estate in my heart. The entire town is so goddamn weird, and just down for whatever. If I could add an identity reveal to any season it'd be this one. I struggle to believe that no one in this town doesn't know (though that might be because they all are so oblivious). I'd take it away from Healin Good and Doki Doki if I had to and I love those seasons reveals.

Smile I feel is far more popular than Suite, and while I enjoy smile and think it's simplicity is to its strength it's really no surprise that the episode I care most about, more than 3/4 of the season combined, is the episode where Nao sort of kind of has an identity reveal. That's also partially because I just have a huge soft spot for kids. (Muse is my all time favorite. Go, make things worse you funky little messed up 9 year old. And I am probably one of the few people who actually LIKE the baby plotlines... which makes it honestly such an accomplishment that DeliPa got me to dislike their baby). But Smile has a lot of plots that are really self-contained to the main cast, and while I do enjoy how fleshed out the girls' families are the fact that they all turn into living rocks when the villains attack really makes them less interesting to me. Same with Tropical-Rouge, but Tropical-Rouge doesn't even fully flesh out any family that isn't Manatsu's.

Maho Tsukai and Star Twinkle both have fun main characters and worldbuilding, but the fact that, like Smile, the action and human town exist sort of separately from each other really keeps them from catching my attention. I want to like them. And I do. I just don't quite love them. I really love HiroSky's cures in particular, and adore the episodes where they are part of their communities, but do wish we had more of that.

And for what it's worth the miracle lights bring this sense of community into our reality, and they used to use the side cast to help illustrate this in the all star movies. It's great.

[utilitycaster]

I feel like a lot of people mistake comic relief or goofiness for lack of effort or caring by the creator, and that belies a real lack of understanding of like, writing and humor and art in general.

[gray-doestheart]

Excuse that this is lettered badly and sketchy but I was thinking of Jancy and her potential feelings about ghosts

[indygotcha]

No, Kirito is not a cunt, or a Reagan of modern anime, or even like, the decade-built bile of a bad writing tropes in a character. You guys just don't want to engage with him as a character in fair or sincere terms, or keep missing the point of his actions, personality traits, and deeper conflicts within him in the anime throughout. It's been more than a decade. Go try again.

[thewhisperingtwenties]

ok i have to be a hater just this once. is this a safe space. i do not like the danganronpa fashion collabs, theyre all extremely boring to me.

[lucksea]

just read alien nine. really fascinating and strange. i would have liked it way better if it werent about 13 year olds [my verdict on many things]

[comradeboyhalo]

I feel like part of an issue with q!bad ships is that he's the one making them worse in the relationship and enabling their worst habits but they are not doing the same back to him < /3 it should be mutual worsening

REALL bc if i see it one-sided, it just doesnt feel good? it doesnt feel fun and toxic it just feels sad and toxic? i like unhealthy relationships but for shipping i dont like these unhealthy relationships to be unbalanced, and majority of qbbh ships just end up with only him as the toxic one...which is of course evidenced by the fact that every ship without him is fluffy...

foolhalo is an example of a toxic dynamic that works for me cause it feels equal. yes, bad will terrorize foolish, and foolish wont do anything back, but also foolish keeps rejecting bad anytime he suggests theyre friends, so it makes bad just look desperate instead LOL. and foolish ofc wants bad to become evil because he thinks its fun, its not just bad whos the morally grey one. BUT foolhalo is also just one of those dynamics thats perfect the way it is in canon regardless of what happens.

You’re so valid. “Daddy” and any pet names that infantilise reader, are what makes me click off. 🤢

What happened to cute simple sh*t like “My love.”

right??? like shit, i love me a power imbalance dynamic but 'yes sir' is way hotter to me than 'yes daddy'. like i'll happily headcanon characters as having the kink bc it fits but as a personal thing i think it's infantilizing and honestly a tad creepy? tho maybe that's bc the only person who's ever wanted me to call them that has young kids that call him daddy it just felt weird

and don't even get me started on the pet names like sweetheart, my love, beautiful/gorgeous/handsome/what have you. they're more fit for slower more tender smut/aftercare kinda stuff but it's still hot af. and if you're bored of it you can always learn it in another language! calling someone pet names in like spanish or gaelic is the sexiest thing ever end rant

I would be the BEST nfl wife like ppl already hate nfl wives by default because of the whole being a woman thing so I would literally be able to do anything. The power I would have. I want to walk around on all fours get super fucking high on rich ppl drugs and cannibalize his teammate on live TV like a wild dog ❤️
