#ive seen them in the manga so i kind of get their vibes

[k66-official]

What is everyone’s thoughts on the Garuru platoon? Do you guys ever keep in context with some of them?

I'm not personally in contact with those guys often, which is kind of a shame, kero- hang on ending post early, giroro says garuru needs us to track down zoruru again, seriously what is that guys deal,

[petrichoraline]

okay I have so many thoughts on the cherry magic pilot, many of which might sound Stupid and Wrong

how can you talk about all things a person is expected to be and do and finish it off with this question

WHEN YOU TURN THE CHARACTER NOTORIOUS FOR WANTING NO RELATIONSHIP WHATSOEVER INTO A PART OF A COUPLE

when I saw the prior introduction of these two I thought they might have dropped this very stupid change but ig not, I suppose they'll give her some other type of struggle with societal expectations

not too hyped for jan and sing as a couple, I like them both so much but I have no reason to believe their chemistry would be smth special

when I saw mark i got a bit worried because ive only seen him as prince in sky in your heart but I got shocked how much he seems to resemble yutaro

i wasn't sure bout junior but they do seem to resemble the pair a lot when together and I hope their acting brings out more of the characters' charm (because I did feel a bit iffy about them in the japanese version ngl)

I also think he'll portray his character a bit differently, he seems more down-to-earth and confident so he'll probably tone down the obsessive loser vibe of the original; hopefully mark has improved

they look cute ♡

the bland backgrounds and too much voiceover kinda bored me but it's only a pilot, I'm sure it'll work better in the full episodes

as for our stars, I think new seems a bit ridiculous as achi, maybe because he's a big guy trying to make himself look small? I don't mind that the height difference that eiji and keita have isn't replicated, but new is also very broad shouldered and overall doesn't seem to give off the aura of a guy with bad self esteem issues with his acting; the way he looked almost happy in the elevator reveal scene

and some other scenes made me think new def has a different take on the character. that his version would be either 1) "no confidence in theory, way more in practice" in which case the script would be to blame or 2) developments true to the character but not acted out the right way. there's also the option that everyone makes achi a more confident guy on purpose - he's written like that and so new presents him that way. that option is a bit unlikely considering a line in the pilot related to self esteem but it already seems like the source material might've been a bit misunderstood

I think it's cause of the actors' faces just being the way they are that tay gives off "puppy wagging tail aggressively" more than keita did - tay's big eyes and smile just do it by default

it feels like his interpretation of kurosawa's character would be more innocent and playful, kind of as if he'd confess earlier than kurosawa did, I get more of a careless vibe though I'm sure they'll stick to the og motivations and doubts the character has; he doesn't contain himself the way kurosawa does:

i remain optimistic! the show is based on a manga that is drenched in multiple aspects of japanese culture, societal commentary is based on japanese society for the most part. having the story take place in thailand with thai characters will obviously have the main conflicts presented through a thai lens. you can also see the comedic editing typical for thai shows and it differs from the japanese comedic style you can see in the og adaptation. im excited to see whether trying to stick to the og yet changing other aspects will work or not. there are already things that I look forward to and things im nervous about so i hope it's anything but boring lol

these are most of my ramblings, would love to here everyone else's views on them and the pilot itself 💓

[ryndicate]

describe your moots in one word?

Oh shit here we go.

I scrolled down my following list so if we're moots and you're not here it's literally bc I probably don't believe you follow me bc I have set you on a pedestal of some kind. And if you're on here and we're not actually moots it's probably just because I really really like you and your blog 😅

@dark-mnjiro ~ psychic. Lee somehow knows what I like without me having to say anything, sends me manga panels that have me climbing walls when i’m on the cusp of zoning from boredom, and introduces me to characters that turn me into some kind of feral territorial creature howling to the gods about my love for a character ive literally seen two pics of. We went from non interactive moots not knowing each other to talking all the time on discord within a few conversations and now im like what would I do without this friendship? 

@knchins ~ supportive! We haven't been moots very long at all but you've been kind to me and my writing manic keysmashes despite the short time, but thats the vibe I've gotten! And you are responsible to turning my mind toward spoiled Reo brainrot, i dont think i will ever thank you enough for Renunion hehehe

@boosyboo9206 ~ safe. It's really easy to talk back and forth with you and i love the way my heart flutters when send me puppy pics and art of my favorite pairings because that alone tells me that you’re thoughful enough to be thinking of me, and I’m so grateful that you don't judge me for being so awful with communication lol.

@kingkatsuki / @kingkunigami ~ assertive. its like jo really has her own brand and always just seems so unshakable, has the patience to respond to the constant stream of blank blogs asking why they’ve been blocked like its not obvious already. i love knowing when i go to her blog that im going to see her being herself. on top of her fabulous writing of course, im on her blog more than its healthy to admit.

@killsaki ~ real. Every time i’m scrolling their blog i find something to either cackle or bite my fist about. Dal is my favorite blog for unfiltered thoughts about their faves and just their life in general. if we met in real life im dead certain they’d be a friend i could count on to call me on my bullshit

@cyancherub ~ vibrant. Everything cass does is done brightly with all of her love. Her interactions with her followers are so lovely and its easy to see how much she enjoys hearing from everyone. And I can trust her to put her whole pussy into any of her fixations, and her fixations are ~top~ tier. While you were sleeping is still easily my favorite thing she’s ever written, ive read it through like 4x and it still leaves me breathless with its characterizations, the descriptions that im not sure she was even breathing as she wrote them, the energy is so wild and intense, and yet how well thought out everything is on top of it! 

@iwaasfairy ~ talentedddd. Fairy is either making me wet with her writing or leaving me soaked with her art, living the life of being amazing at more than one creative outlet. I thank the universe that we’re friends and that she trusts me enough to send me the snippets that she’s working on and letting me howl at her in discord about how awesome her shit is. I get some of the first looks and I’m damn proud of that hehehe.

[dorotama]

The Dororo thing is so real, I think its so interesting how Kururu and Dororo both have odd ones out loners spying on their friends vibes but Kururu actually hangs out with them very often and Dororo is an actual loner. I cant remember if this gag was present in the early seasons now that I think about it but he literally starts leaving a cardboard cutout of himself instead of going to the meetings. Which like can you even blame him. I think one more little part of it is like, do you want to invite the guy who doesnt want to invade to the invasion meeting just for him to get upset? Dororo might even be aware considering the cutout but then he can still come across a bit like why didnt you invite me to the cause distress to the planet party :( Kind of a silly situation. Theres a stupid manga panel where he has a goddamn wooden computer. There was a relatively recent chapter where Keroro got a goddamn catgirl vtuber avatar made by Kururu so he could stream and all the others were blushing watching him and Dororo pulled out a phone?! Its the exact same as Kururus but with his symbol put on it instead of Kururus so I imagined Kururu might have gotten him that. I cant imagine he knows anything but taking pictures. Actually it might be a bad idea to accept a phone from Kururu but that might depend on the day. It seems I would gullibly accept anything he gives me

Not inviting Dororo places might be more egregious in the manga because I think Koyuki lives like in the next house over but I dont think it gets mentioned a lot? But I also dont remember if the universe is quite as cartoonishly mean to him in the manga. Early seasons vs later seasons vs manga is real hard to keep track of when you start thinking about it. Another autistic thing they added to Kururu later is that he starts making nyo noises almost as much as ku noises, he can say nyo? when surprised, he snores nyoooonyooo when he sleeps, he can sing nyoonyonyonyooo when pressing buttons, hell say nyo! anytime just because, even makes a nyaa once, and generally makes progressively crazier sillier sounds because the voice actor started adlibbing like crazy. It kind of ends up reading like him relaxing and opening up compared to him getting called gloomy before. Oh my God I get so carried away so quickly talking about those frogs

THIS IS ALL SO CRAZY. when you've had a series thats been going for so long its bound to get pretty inconsistent and pretty crazy after a while LOL... the sheer amount of episodes and the extreme variation in quality is partially why i stick to the funimation dub (and a handful of the comics). im the type of autistic who watches and rewatches over and over and likes to be able to memorize the episodes - enough to have at least a vague idea of the scenes in sequence in every episode.... when you have like 300+ episodes and 5 movies combined with spinoffs and an ungodly amount of manga that's just not feasible. there are a handful of other reasons why i consider myself "funimation dub exclusive" (mostly due to the fact that i just prefer the voice acting, characterization and sense of humor)

OF COURSE KERORO WOULD BE A VTUBER. and kululu would be able to make him an avatar in like 45 minutes flat. i kind of subconciously bring them into the modern era in a lot of ways - mostly just because i think its funny to imagine keroro forcing tamama to venmo him 10 yen for taking a sip from his latte or something. there's always so much comedic plot potential with these guys its like they can squeeze an episode out of anything

ive seen bits and pieces of the cardboard cutout thing... i think its very sweet and kind of sad. like most things to do with dororo. hes like obsessed with them while also wanting nothing to do with them. he wants to be part of their group but he cant bring himself to do anything but watch from afar...like..... maybe.... from a window. hypothetically maybe even from a window in a mansion. everything always goes back to his childhood somehow

the wooden computer bit is seriously sending me into hysterics. do you think he carved it himself. does it have windows 98 on it. do you think it's powered by a squirrel running on a wheel

I THINK IVE ALSO SEEN BITS AND PIECES OF THE NYO THING. thats adorable. they keep giving him vocal stims. i love it when he says "clicky" or "clicky-poo" in the dub when he presses a button its so funny and cute

[nymphoheretic]

Baking buddies ^-^

I quite am honored to do holidays for everyone. It’s so special!

Also.. I got into demon slayer two weeks after the manga came out. I’ve been a dedicated fan for 8 years and have seen many things… but never someone thirsting over the tongue demon. This is a new one.. I’m a bit scared honestly;-;

Honestly after being a fan for so long it’s interesting seeing people thirst over characters people back in manga days didn’t care about. It’s like a swap almost! No one really liked the clones early days but now so many people love them! Rengoku had a very small fanbase early manga days but now look at him! It’s so interesting to me how the fandom has changed !

I’m another person who’s only been in the kny fandom. I constantly reread and rewatch in spare time (I’m a nerd Eek). It never gets old.

I also saw your post about why people followed you! I followed your old blog because you posted a Nemi fic and when you moved to this blog I followed! I’m just really shy due to a harsh past with bullying so I’m mainly quite :,) but you’re so kind and welcoming I decided to speak!

I hope your power is back on and are with air! It thankfully just stopped raining here. My cat hates thunder. She was struggling today!

Sending you tons of love and happy vibes

<3

Ive been a fan for about 6 years now, so I caught the anime first but then got into the manga as it was still on going. I've been a rengoku girlie ever since I first saw him. He's perfect in every way to me. So imagine my surprise when he turned out other be another black widow simp 😭 I cried for days when mugen train was animated and immediately bought a rengoku blanket and plushie for comfort.

Ah an old followers of kxkyuu! I'm glad you finally came out to talked to me. It makes me happy to know that people can get over their shyness to approach me. I promise I'm not mean or judgmental, unless provoked or when protecting one's I care about.

Its not back on, but I've gone to my mother's house because I have a fluffy dog who was starting to over heat with out ac.

wanted to make poster-style drawings for just the two of us (we can make it if we try) by ijustwanttodestroy, @i-just-want-to-destroy​ on tumblr

image ids + images without text + extra stuff i wanted to say 

[image id:

a series of illustrations with limited palletes in hues of teal, mint, and orange in a style attempting to resemble linocut printmaking.

image 1: in various shades of dark teal with mint. in the foreground, deku laughs, lilting and musical, as shinsou looks on, petrified, with his hand on the doorknob. a monitor on the side of the room reads NO ESCAPE ! ! 

image 2:  in various shades of dark teal with bright orange. at one end of a table is someone's sweaty, clenched hand, and at the other is deku, his eyes creased and his grin a crescent moon. beside them, a monitor reads, "If one [occupant kills] the other, [they] will be set free." some text is blocked. superimposed above the table and the rising water, garish block text reading "CAN THEY ESCAPE?" in bright orange takes up the lower half of the image.

image 3: in various shades of teal. shinsou, his hair drenched, looks with a pallid, dear-in-headlights expression down at something indescipherable. one arm is defensively poised in front of him. there is seawater drizzling down from above, and large block text reading "TRAITOR" is superimposed on the middle of the image, with smaller, handwritten sans serif below it reading, "You've been sticking your nose where it doesn't belong, Detective-san!"

image 4: in various shades of teal. shinsou and deku's heads are barely above the rising water, gasping for breath. shinsou's hands are loosely holding onto deku's shoulders and deku's hands are desperately clenched on his. large block text imposed near the bottom of the page reads, "LAST-MINUTE" and below that, in cursive serif font wobbling slightly like a wave, "Confess every regret you'll never make better.”

image id end.]

things i wanted to say:

sorry for being so cringe i felt like the little philosophers in the cave making this because i couldnt actually find any refs for the style of printmade movie poster i want so i went from what id scrapped together in my head so im sure this looks kind of like . derivative?  and boring i tried to kind of satirize (?) it but i dont think it worked. 

i really liked the fic. the words were swag and the plot was yolo, etc. its my favorite worldbuilding ive ever seen in bnha fic which is maybe a weird thing to look for in bnha fanfic given that i dont think the worldbuilding of bnha, the manga is very good but i liked it a loooot & the reveals were so well done & the characters so well written . . . & just the vibes of an ocean locked room mystery type deal with a larger , darker plot . . . ! please read it if you havent 

let me know if the image descriptions can be written in a less clunky/better way. like actually send me your image descs i want to get better at this 

now that im done with this im going to stop thinking about bnha, hopefully. 

here are some no-text versions:

thank you

[tainbocuailnge]

okay im like. actually curious about anime girl arthuriana. youre the only person ive ever seen posting abt it and you told me abt it once and like.... i kind of Have To Watch It.. do you know where i can find it. also is it like good in a bad way OR is it bad in a good way. should i watch it

well as I have personally been an avid fan of anime girl king arthur for 10 years now obviously I think it's good in a good way. however it has a lot of what is most aptly described as "anime fanservice" baked into the series roots, and a quick look through your blog archive suggests that you don't have a lot of anime exposure, so I can't really say how easily you'll be able to like... look past some of the more distasteful elements of the genre. arthuriana itself is also weird and horny and ~problematic~ though so i'm not saying this because I think you can't stomach it I just feel the need to add a disclaimer because fate/series started with a porn game and never really let go of those roots it just also has bonkers lore. personally i think the good is so good that it more than overshadows the bad and you should definitely give it a try

fate/ is also a bit of an odd series in that translation projects for it are under some kind of curse so despite it's immense overseas popularity a lot of it never gets localised, or gets bad localisations, or fan translation projects for it drop halfway through, or turn out to have been partially machine translated, and so on. I'm sure this is a struggle arturiana can relate to lol. as a result for a lot of fate/ content you have no choice but to pirate it if you want to read or play it at all. there are a lot and i mean a Lot of different entries but individual entries of it are often pretty loosely connected so there's not really a fixed reading order, just a few sets of entries that are directly connected and the rest tends to follow in themes more than setting, and later entries tend to assume you already know how the magic shit works so it stops explaining it. this is also very arturiana of it.

the easiest way to test the waters and see if you'll enjoy fate/ is to watch the anime "Fate/Stay Night [Unlimited Blade Works]". this is an adaption of the second route of the original game, as such it is missing a bit of context from the first route but it should still be easy enough to understand and it's imo a good representation for the overall vibes of the series (both good and occasional bad). last I checked it's available to watch on crunchyroll and netflix. after Unlimited Blade Works comes the movie trilogy "Heaven's Feel", which adapts the third and final route. alternatively you can watch "Fate/Zero" instead, which is on the same streaming platforms. Fate/Zero is the prequel to Fate/Stay Night and has a darker and edgier tone to it which may or may not be up your alley. both of them feature the original anime girl king arthur as one of the protagonists so they're good to see if you'll like her as well

there's a bunch of other fate/ anime on netflix, but none of them are good introductory points. the "Fate/Apocrypha" anime is a notoriously bad adaption, and if you're interested in that one I strongly strongly suggest looking for the manga adaption instead (Apocrypha is particularly cursed, the original novels never finished fantranslation and the manga is still ongoing so the shitty anime adaption is the only way to get the full story in english currently). the "Fate/EXTRA Last Encore" anime is a kind of spinoff slash alternate ending to the PSP game "Fate/EXTRA" and is likely to be incomprehensible without playing that one first (which i recommend because it's a personal favourite). the "Fate/Grand Order" anime are probably fine to watch after Stay Night, just be aware that they're pretty mediocre as adaptions and take place a good chunk into the story of the game with the same name so you're missing a lot of buildup. the "Fate/Kaleid Liner Prisma Illya" anime are unapologetic pedobait and not worth the trouble

if you like the Stay Night anime I would suggest reading the visual novel as a next step! as said before the original has three routes, and it's actually the first one that hasn't been adapted properly that focuses the most on anime girl king arthur's character. in this post I explain how to get the game. the nature of animated adaptions is also that they can't possibly convey everything in the original text, so even after watching the adaptions the visual novel will still offer a lot of fresh material.

another good next step is to pick up the mobile game Fate/Grand Order, it's the current flagship title of the series and is still ongoing. it's a gacha game (i don't know if that means anything to you. it's got glorified gambling basically. think fortnite lootboxes but for playable characters) so you might not want to touch it but I like the gameplay and story a lot so I'm still going to suggest it because it has a shitton of round table figures as playable characters and they feature heavily in parts of the main story as well. if you don't want to engage with gambling mechanics you can easily look up the story on youtube instead

i could go on for a lot longer because there simply is a lot of it lol but i think this is already more info than you really need to get started and if you have more questions I'll gladly answer them. I hope you enjoy it!

ᜊ KENDO

ꔗ she’s confused

ꔗ she came home from work to expect seeing you curled up on the couch watching your favorite show as you always do

ꔗ but when she walks in,, it’s dead silent

ꔗ anddddd your nowhere to be found

ꔗ kendo’s the type of person to try and assess the situation the situation

ꔗ well normally..

ꔗ because as she walked around the house there was no sign you have even been out

ꔗ until she saw the light in your shared bedroom

ꔗ she let out a sigh and rushed into the room

ꔗ and there you were,, doing a flurry of different hand motions to a song that was familiar to her because of tiktok

ꔗ “babe..?”

ꔗ you jumped

ꔗ you hadn’t even heard when she came home

ꔗ “oh hi my love”

ꔗ and then here comes your brilliant idea

ꔗ “WAIT BABE..! Before you ask any questions,, come do this dance with me!”

ꔗ and now kendo’s even more confused

ꔗ “pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee”

ꔗ she laughed at your desperation

ꔗ “fine come show me how to do it”

ꔗ and after about 15 minutes?

ꔗ oh chile she was ready

ꔗ you propped the phone up on your dresser and put the timer on

ꔗ lemme tell u

ꔗ y’all was in sync, yall was vibing and y’all looked gooddddd

ꔗ y’all finished and when you looked at the video you were happy with the way it turned out

ꔗ kendo is a queen so she understood the assignment

ꔗ long story short yall went viral🗿

ꔗ although one of the aspects that might’ve contributed to that was the fact that she was still in her hero costume

ꔗ the both of you got so accustomed to seeing the suit in her that you didn’t even realize she had it on

ꔗ but the comments were saying how cute y’all looked together so it’s a win win

ꔗ long story short y’all are now the known faces of this dance

ᜊ PEHYAH

ꔗ lord have mercy

ꔗ this man will think it’s the stupidest thing ever

ꔗ but will still do it with you anyways

ꔗ it’s like he doesn’t like it,, but end up doing it anyways

ꔗ so when you were cuddled up into him on the couch on your phone then suddenly throw his hand off you,, man is CONFUSED

ꔗ “babe come do this dance with me it looks fun!”

ꔗ man did one of them disrespectful eyebrow lifts at you like you done lost your damn mind

ꔗ “no”

ꔗ and know it’s your turn to look at him like he done lost his mind

ꔗ “Peh get your ass over here and do this damn dance with me”

ꔗ the man just groaned and rolled his eyes as he reluctantly stood up from the couch

ꔗ and soon enough he was leaning over you asking what kind of dance it was

ꔗ when the man saw what he had to do a loud ass “HELL NO” came outta his mouth

ꔗ and 7 minutes later he had the dance down and watching you set the phone up on the window sill and turning the timer on

ꔗ the timer ran out and the man just rolled his eyes as he started to dance and ngllllll,,,

ꔗ he ate

ꔗ period

ꔗ he ain’t even wanna admit it but he was killing it

ꔗ and trust it very much stayed dead

ꔗ and for my manga readers yall know that one time skip where peh was looking MMMMM

ꔗ mhm that’s how he was looking

ꔗ whew y’all went viral

ꔗ no questions asked

ꔗ to see him doing a dance like that and the look on his face

ꔗ ppl couldn’t help but find it funny

ꔗ “yeah I better be treated like a damn king for this shit cause this is embarrassing as hell”

ꔗ the man was pissed but he saw comments of how y’all looked together so he was alright 🙄

[diavolosthots]

Ive been holding off on these because i have so many but I just wanna share. This got kinda long so it's under the cut, and this isnt even all of it.

Random Headcanons I have about Obey Me:

Time definitely runs different and all of them are eons older than any of us, including luke. My next question is WHAT is their skincare routine

I remember in one lesson (26 i believe???) Diavolo said that RAD isnt even that old which is true and also not. Its old in human standards, not old in demon standards

I believe Diavolo's dad isnt really sleeping, although everyone says he's locked away and doing such, I have a feeling hes secretly pulling all the strings for everyone behind the scenes

Levi definitely reads "normal" books and Satan definitely reads manga.

Human rules definitely don't apply in either the Devildom or the Celestial Realm. I would love to see a Devildom law book, honestly.

All of them definitely have done something bad in the past. In a sense, i even believe that they each own a circle of hell (since they mentioned Dante's inferno before if i remember correctly). It at least would make sense.

I dont believe their demon form is their true form.

Asmodeus is more insecure than confident but he tries to overshadow it with make believe narcissism.

Luke is definitely smart as hell and in certain instances I believe he could win a wit battle with Satan.

I dont believe demons and humans can reproduce. Demon sperm is like... Foreign to the human body and although the human body can get used to it, it would take forever to successfully create something

On that note, pregnancy would be dangerous af since demons do tend to grow horns and wings that could easily rupture through the uterine wall.

Lucifer is definitely a lowkey alcoholic lol (low-key because it's not always). In one of the rooms, the secret room behind the library, theres stacks of alcohol on the shelf and it doesnt surprise me that he takes a swing/full bottle every once in a while

Mammon kind of contradicts himself. They say you'll be lucky when mammons around but hes never lucky with himself so either that means he's lucky to everyone but himself OR he needs to believe in luck/himself first

Leviathan has split personalities. On one hand theres the dorky otaku we all love and on the other hand theres the Grand Admiral of Hells Navy, who gets quite bossy and honestly kind of harsh.

Satan definitely is a playboy. I also see him go clubbing with Asmodeus a lot

Beelzebub is far from the soft boy we like for him to be but other than his brothers and fellow demons, he actually has a good grip on his anger and to an extent i believe he won't lose it because of Belphie. Seeing Beel angry is a huge reminder on the Celestial war and Belphie really hated it, for obvious reasons.

Belphie sleeps a lot because, like many of us, he likes to escape reality. I believe the reason his avatar is sloth is not because he's lazy but more so because he hates to be awake and recall everything that happens. Its easier to deal with you dont think.

Diavolo definitely has an ulterior motive and although I love and appreciate his character, i wouldnt blindly trust him. Much like Satan and Belphegor, hes an A+ manipulator

I believe Barbatos is actually the oldest, having been around while Diavolo's dad was still up and about. Hes also the most powerful seeing as he can manipulate time and reality. My question is how Diavolo keeps him from doing so.

On that note, i do believe he has alternate reality once or twice, unbeknownst to Diavolo or anyone else.

Michael is a huge player in this game and although we don't hear from or of him often, i believe hes playing together with Diavolo on something bigger

Simeon isn't the sweet little angel we always see. He's a warrior of God, a weapon if heaven, and much like Lucifer, he would do anything for his family.

Solomon is shady af and I dont trust him at all. I do believe, especially since the newer lessons came out, that hes planning something with Diavolo.

I can see Lucifer overthrowing Diavolo at some point, most likely out of revenge. He's too smug and secretive to keep following Diavolo blindly, even if it took him a couple thousand years to figure something out

I believe God has left the OM universe, much like he did in SPN, and Michael is in charge up there

Lilith is a liar and manipulator. I dont have evidence, she just gives off that vibe in the few times we've seen her.

a3! x pokemon: spring troupe

alternatively: i try to approximate a3 characters and their character arcs through pokemon teams

a couple of disclaimers / qualifications (u can skip this): ive been playing pokemon since like. 2007. played all the mainline games in the generation from hoenn all the way up to sun & moon. so… no sword and shield pokemon here. i take inspiration from stuff outside the game, particularly pokemon ranger, pokemon mystery dungeon: explorers of time/darkness/sky, the pokemon adventures manga, and the anime. i don’t play pokémon competitively and these teams probably aren’t that balanced. each team leader gets a starter pokemon because I thought it would be an appropriate piece of theming, and I tried to avoid legendary pokemon because it would feel weird for a bunch of troupe members to just… have legendaries just like that. pokemon are listed in their fully evolved forms because that feels best to me as someone who would fully evolve all their pokemon. so… that’s 5 x 4 x 6 = 120 distinct pokemon from mostly separate evolution lines, with a lot of starters and legendaries excluded… and i added some bonus pokemon for matsukawa and izumi... there are no pictures because that would require too much from me, but I linked the serebii.net page for the pokemon mentioned. I didn’t include any of the rookies—I haven’t finished act 2 yet—so I realize many of my explanations for these characters will be insufficient… but I’ll try my best!

okay? okay. members + their teams under the cut, with explanations

sakuya sakuma

chatot

pretty obvious reasoning here. kamekichi exists and i wanted sakuya to have a pokemon to represent that. oricorio was actually a *super* close second here—its island variants and coloring on some of them are far more similar to kamekichi, and it’s got that performer look since it dances, but chatot gets points for its noted ability to imitate human speech, like kamekichi. perhaps matsukawa has an oricorio? i rather like the idea of that—sakuya w/ a chatot that acts with him, and another oricorio that flits through island variants as a symbol for each troupe. pink for spring, of course.

venusaur

flowers for spring! a grass starter is a must… why didn’t i pick the chikorita / bayleef / meganium line? two big reasons: not only did i have a starter for each leader, i wanted each starter to be from a different generation! so this worked better with that pattern. Additionally, i feel that the bulbasaur line really fits the “blooming” concept of a3: the way it starts with a bulb, then a bud as ivysaur, and finally in full bloom as venusaur? i don’t put much stock in pokedex entries, but I wanted to mention this bit of flavor text that’s in venusaur’s description: “The flower's aroma soothes the emotions of people.” And that’s just… so sakuya, to me. 

cherrim

cherubi is literally just a pack of cherries and then it evolves to cherrim! which covers its face most of the time but under sunlight completely changes form. one of the most drastic transformations I’ve seen, and I used to be obsessed with seeing my cherrim change form when I was younger. I think it fits with how sakuya, while he’s definitely a bright person, is very kind of mild / sweet? but when he’s on stage (under sunlight) he just… absolutely shines. also, flower imagery once again for our main kid. specifically, cherry blossom flower imagery for sakuya. 

lapras

lapras to me just has really… kind energy? it’s been hunted to the point of extinction (though as of sun and moon it’s not anymore) and it likes to carry people across it’s back. I’m particularly fond of the lapras that helps you in pokemon mystery dungeon: explorers of sky. but at the same time, I think lapras has this really sort of like… lonely vibe. I think that there’s something poignant about how… starved for family sakuya is and how he would connect with a lapras who’s also kind but doesn’t really… have anyone else? they’d be a good fit. 

silvally

and here i am! cheating already. tho silvally’s fairly unique (like zoroark) in that it’s got a pre-evolution and all, it’s still a legendary pokemon. i’m going to get emo for a second and explain that in the sun & moon games, there’s this rival character called gladion who’s really emo and has this synthetically created pokemon called type: null. presumably he stole it from his mother i think? long story. But in the pokedex entry, it specifically says that “Although its name was Type: Null at first, the boy who evolved it into this form gave it the name by which it is now known.” which is like… what? what? most emo kid in the world evolves this pokemon and calls it silver ally. like thats very sweet. and type:null evolves into silvally through a friendship mechanism, so I was like… well yeah. I think sakuya would treat silvally the best and most ever and i think it would be funny if he was like oh im just normal and ppl were like “hey kid whats that legendary pokemon doing on your team”

plusle 

pikachu is, of course, classic, but i refuse to be classic. plusle is one of the electric rodent variants that show up every generation—this one, to me, is unique because plusle is most known for being part of a team! Specifically, plusle and minun are two electric mice pokemon who have abilities that are usually suited to being in double battles. it’s very cute and bright, like sakuya, and i think it’s well-suited for the whole “bromance” thing that romeo and julius has ahah. it’s all part of some metaphor abt how they work better as a team and how sakuya thrives on having a friendship / family… yes masumi has a minun. speaking of: that’s six for sakuya, so moving on… 

masumi usui

minun

minun is here for the aforementioned reasons about why sakuya has a plusle, but rather than matching with his personality, it’s at complete odds with how masumi usually acts, which I think adds a kind of refreshing charm to its presence on his team. maybe it’s a sign that he should really be valuing his friends more or something… ahem. the blue color scheme pairs well with masumi as opposed to plusle’s red, and the minus signs match with how he’s a bit more negative as compared to sakuya. what’s more, minun’s stats differ from plusle in that minun has higher defense stats while plusle has higher attack stats. again, fits well with both of them (and it’s noted that minun’s extra defense actually makes it the preferred choice competitively as compared to plusle… which, yeah, all fits).  

hydreigon

oh, wow, look at me and my cool and powerful team… for minun to be the exception, I pretty much went and picked some really menacing, powerful pokemon who’ve got an intimidating sort of cool aura. very similar to masumi’s distance from most people, and I think a high schooler having all of these crazy strong pokemon really just exemplifies how masumi’s like, really talented, at such a young age. a lot of his pokemon are dragon types, because those tend to be really strong, and / or pseudo-legendaries, which is a name given to pokemon with a base stat total over or equal to 600. for context, minun (which is on the weaker side) has a base stat total of 405. hydreigon’s base stat total is 600.

garchomp 

garchomp is seriously… I mean, it’s always been a popular pokemon to use, I think, because it’s a really strong dragon type. another one with base stats equaling 600, too. again, the dark blue matches masumi’s whole aesthetic well like the last one. my experience with garchomp has mostly been being frightened as hell by it because it’s, to me, pokemon champion cynthia’s toughest pokemon by far. 

salamence

three base stat 600s? three dragons? …uh, yeah. they’re all kinda blue, too? though salamence is farthest off from masumi’s blue, haha. but yeah, I think with half your team being dragon pseudo legendaries, that’s pretty crazy strong and intimidating, but it’s also indicative of being pretty stubborn, I think, which masumi definitely is. like… that’s not a lot of team diversity you’ve got going on there, buddy. surely one of them is enough? but no. also, these pseudo-legendaries take a lot of training and leveling to evolve to their final form, so I think it’s fun to think of the in-between before masumi had his fully-leveled up team. also salamance gets so much rep for being one of the evil or rampaging pokemon. let it have some fun!

gallade

the colors don’t match nearly as much (though, ooh, a shiny? that one fits remarkably well… and hey, masumi’s known for being exceptional, right?) but gallade is just one of the coolest pokemon ever, I think. also, the idea of masumi having to train a very weak, hard to level up ralts, which has a pretty low appearance rate in the first place, and needing the 50% chance of getting a male ralts… that’s charming to me. gallade’s also quite polite-looking and cool-looking rather than just looking outright intimidatingly cool. a base stat of 518, which is solid. 

golduck

base stat total of 500. golduck isn’t like… the coolest pokemon, maybe, but I’ve always thought it had a pretty smart look, and hey. it’s blue. I’m also very used to green oak (blue, in localization) having it in the pokemon adventures manga, and he makes all his pokemon look cool, since he’s the cool rival character etc. I very much enjoy his personality in the manga—he’s a lot less asshole-ish and just kind of serious, and after the first arc he's pretty close to red and everything, so I thought any of his pokemon would probably match well with masumi. his golduck was always a helpful part of his team and a smart addition. also, massively funny to think of masumi with a psyduck on his team. 

tsuzuru minagi

unown

okay, this joke practically writes (ha!) itself. it’s hard to think of any writer-related pokemon out there, because, uh, pokemon are not really authors of any kind… psychic pokemon are often said to be intelligent, but that’s not… i mean, that’s not necessarily the kind of character description i’d ascribe to certified “needs a fainting couch” “hot mess” tsuzuru. the pokemon unown is used as ancient script, so I think that’s a pretty neat connection to writing. additionally, the only move unown can learn is hidden power, a base move that can be of any typing depending on your pokemon’s IVs. a quasi-theme I went for when picking potential pokemon for tsuzuru is mutability—I wanted pokemon that had a lot of forms or variants, because I felt it fit the wide variety of genres tsuzuru tackles in his writing? and while unown isn’t at all powerful on it’s own… letters make words, words make stories, and stories are greater than the sum of their parts. you know? can’t decide what letter of unown he’d have. maybe he’d start with t and slowly collect all 26? 

castform

castform changes its shape depending on the weather! mutability strikes again. i think this would also have a quite practical nature, though? like, hey, a pokemon that does actual accurate weather predictions… it’d be helpful for just getting through the day, and with tsuzuru working all those part time jobs, i think it would be a nice, simple, helpful companion. i don’t think tsuzuru’s really all that much of a grand person, so I’ve been trying to pick out simple, not that strong, but still interesting pokemon! all pokemon are interesting, of course. 

jumpluff 

tsuzuru’s flower is a dandelion, and this pokemon has that dandelion fluff thing going on. the 2nd pokemon in this line of evolution, skiploom, has some pokedex entries that suggest that because the flower on its head is sensitive to heat, it can act as a thermometer! another nice bit of practicality in a small, cute, pokemon. with a3’s flower theming, i’m sure to have a lot of grass pokemon on these teams, huh… 

blissey

tsuzuru’s got a lot of siblings so i just had to do an homage to the many, many, nurse joys of the world, often accompanied by a chansey! The evolution line of happiny chansey blissey is actually quite interesting—chansey actually couldn’t evolve in gen i, in gen ii it gained blissey as an evolution, and in gen iv it gained happiny as a pre evolution. also… uh, i think it would be good for tsuzuru’s health to have a pokemon that could look after him. chansey also evolves to blissey through increasing the pokemon’s friendship / happiness stat, which is sweet. blissey’s got the highest base stats for hp out of every other pokemon ever (255, which is also the highest base stat in any stat for any pokemon ever), which… again, a good match for tsuzuru. stay healthy. 

minior

this one is literally for the Vibes and also trying really hard not to give tsuzuru a cat based pokemon so i can make fun of him for sardine search. it’s a cute lil meteor! the core color is even close-ish to tsuzuru’s mint shade! although the core form only appears when it’s low in health… mumble mumble minior drops to its core form when tsuzuru’s overworking himself and finishing a script. and it fits with the mini-theming: minior’s core form can be seven different colors! which all together make up the colors of the rainbow… nice. 

itaru chigasaki

rotom

rotom… literally a fun ghost that likes to inhabit household appliances and stuff. i think it just fits really well with itaru’s love of gaming (mb his rotom possesses his gaming pc for fun etc) and i think itaru’s got this kind of like, really fun, teasing vibe so rotom just seems like such a perfect partner for him to have. also the way that rotom disguises itself in common objects relates to how i think a lot of itaru’s character has to do with putting up a facade + isolating himself from others? which is a theming that follows a lot of his pokemon. i don’t think rotom’s technically a legendary pokemon, but it was a really special pokemon when i was growing up and very unique—you could only get it during a special time and in a special place in pokemon diamond/pearl/platinum, after all. that kind of rarity seems like the kind of pokemon itaru would have, honestly.  

pachirisu

okay, so i said i didn’t know anything about the pokemon competitive scene, but that’s a little bit of a lie… I know about park se-jun’s victory in the 2014 world pokemon championships because he won with a pachirisu on his team! pachirisu! gen iv / sinnoh’s version of its cute electric rodent, and as it turns out, with the specific metagame of that year’s competition and his team composition? an absolute beast on the field. it’s a wonderful pokemon, and i think it’s a good nod to how itaru’s outer appearance is a bit deceiving. also i think he’d appreciate having a pokemon that did so well competitively. let me appeal to his gamer heart <3

electrode

electrode and voltorb basically look like pokeballs and are often mistaken for pokeballs and. ok well one i think thats funny and two the whole “mistaken for something else” disguises masks etc etc. it’s also an electric type which fits with itaru to me. was considering amoonguss since that’s also mistaken for a pokeball but in the year that pachirisu won amoonguss was a really popular pick and pachirisu was like… a smart choice bc it could do a lot of the stuff amoonguss could + it was unconventional so less people could counter against it… so yeah, electrode wins because it’s classic. also voltorb flip was the picross / minesweeper game that heartgold & soulsilver had in place of slot machines so. 

golisopod 

ahah… this one’s a little sad. golisopod is most famously the main pokemon used by the leader of team skull, guzma. it’s got a pretty unique ability—emergency exit—that means that the moment it gets its hp below 50%, it just flees the battle. the ability is more unflatteringly named “wimp out” for the pre-evolution wimpod. uh… so, similar to itaru in that he was planning to quit the spring troupe once he saw how passionate everyone else was about it and felt he couldn’t give that same level of passion… different in that when itaru got hurt, he literally ignored it as much as possible because he loved his troupe That Much and like found his passion for acting… i’m going to go cry now. yeah uh even though it’s slow, golisopod’s a really strong pokemon and i think it would match with itaru well. 

mimikyu

okay so mimikyu’s whole thing is that it’s like, this fearsome ghost that’s terrified so many people and hated by so many people that it shittily disguises itself as a pikachu because hey! pikachu’s well-liked, right? and despite being quiet and mild normally, it’ll resist violently if you try to unmask it. uh. I don’t really need to say any more

clefable

ending this list with a nicer pokemon. clefable’s the full evolution of clefairy, but that’s a stone-based evolution and i like to think it would take quite a while for itaru to evolve his clefairy, if he ever does. i say this because in veilstone city in sinnoh, there’s a slot machine center where if you played for long enough, a clefairy would appear on screen and it would help you get combos and better rewards if you followed its directions. I can only imagine this would help with gacha luck too, haha. 

citron

alolan exeggutor

i thought it’d be good to give citron some special pokemon, since he’s a really unique person, and a regional variant seemed particularly fitting since we know he’s from Somewhere Else. exeggutor is crazy massive and such a… spectacle that it seems perfect for him, you know? a grass dragon type… loud and with literally impossible to ignore presence, just a little left of center… that just seems very citron to me. 

alolan raichu

again with my refusal to pick pikachu… listen, red’s pikachu is simply too iconic to touch, you know? but alolan raichu is very fun! i love the surfer vibe it has, it’s another regional variant, and it’s just… cute and bright. it just matches citron’s vibes! 

shuckle 

shuckle! looks silly, but it’s def and sp.def are not to be trifled with… with setups like trick room, power trick, and power split, there’s a lot of fun things you can do with shuckle that make it really powerful. i think being resilient is a strength of citron’s too… he might seem like he’s pretty carefree, but obviously that’s not all he is. I think a lot of citron’s pokemon would be unique in interesting ways

ninjask & shedninja

so this is an interesting group of two! shedninja is an interesting pokemon in that you obtain it by having a nincada and an empty spot in your party—when nincada evolves, the discarded bug shell becomes shedninja, a pokemon with only 1 hp. it’s very gimmicky—shedninja’s ability, wonder guard, means that unless a move against it is super effective. I think it’s a fun match for citron, and I think he’d keep the ninjask too… the two might seem a bit unsuited for his bright personality, but citron looks like he’s got a lot going on underneath? ninjask’s a really fast pokemon and i feel like it’d just be helpful. 

politoed 

this is the part where i just blatantly say my act 2 predictions. citron just rly seems like he’s on the run from some kind of government or the other…? he also had that one line in alex in wonderland where he was like “fuck monarchy!” so i am firmly on the tentative runaway prince headcanon. politoed is a very friendly, kind of dopey looking creature, and i think it fits the vibes of how nice citron looks, but it also evolves from a specific item called the king’s crown! there’s quite a few other water types that could get that royalty theme across: kingler, kingdra, slowking, which you actually use the same item to get, but those felt a little two obvious and didn’t fit as nicely in aesthetics

closing thoughts: i did not think i’d write this much for just one troupe… sigh. I’ll post the later season troupes + bonus people once I’ve cleaned up their lists and worked out a few pokemon here and there… I hope my explanations were somewhat fun to read! would love to discuss if anyone else has Pokemon Opinions here. please do not give me act 2 spoilers.

Winter 2021 Anime Opinions

As always its that time of the year I pretend to be an anime connoisseur and leave my review on this seasons anime so take it with a grain of salt asdfgh from the one I enjoyed the least to the most.

Wave!!: Surfing Yappe!! (TV)

You are seeing currently the only probably best thing about Wave asdfghj Tanaka bby I am SO sorry you got stuck here,,,,, Its bad because I had so many expectations for Wave but it just...... isn’t very good? The characters feel 2 dimensional, animation is veeeery average and the plot is all over the place? Dont even get me started on the Shou situation plot device that they just brushed over and went on with and,,,,,big sigh

Urasekai Picnic

To be honest is not very fair to compare this one to the rest as ive only watched the first 2 eps but ill catch up eventually asdfghj its not bad just that the plot didnt capture me as much as I hoped but the two main characters cutiess the plot just confuses me asdfgh but I don't have much to say about it

Yakusoku no Neverland 2nd Season

So uh anyways Chile I don't wanna talk about it the only reason this is not dead last is because RayEmma cute moments but yeah don't watch this clown show go read the manga for self care ✨

Jaku-Chara Tomozaki-kun

The only reason this is here is because she. The main girl I cant remember the name of sucks and main dude is very normal asdfgh the plot is basically “Want people to like you? change everything about yourself and become a normie robot!!!” ASDFGHJ Like its so over the top and cringe at times it becomes very confusing but hey I am not caught up either so I may change opinions (x doubt tho)

2.43: Seiin Koukou Danshi Volley-bu

From this point onwards I basically like everything. 2.43 Started suuuuper strong for me, definitely thought it would be one of my favs this season but as the eps went by I just.... kinda lost interest asdfgh? Like its not bad, but its a sort of mix between Stars Align and Haikyuu where I would have loved a more character based story with dark subplots like Stars Align but got the parts I always criticize about Haikyuu were there was a point I didn't really knew any of the characters? ASDFGH like the enemy team is super cool and Love their designs but if you ask me to tell you anything about them I already forgot rip. Its still cute and the animation is cool but yeah it kind of disappointed me in the end a bit ;w;

Shingeki no Kyojin: The Final Season

AOT Is so sexci because it keeps on hurting me and I come back every-time for it ASDFGHJ Not much to say that hasn't been said, characters are super interesting, plot is a bit confusing at times for me to follow but amazing and I just :))) could go on about certain characters :))))) but I wont :))))

Wonder Egg Priority

Wonder egg priority is very talked about right now so I wont get too much into it other than definitely give it a watch if you like the more philosophical and “makes you reflect on your life choices” sort of anime ASDFGHJ the visuals are stunning and the characters very well build, although I am very confused at times I am still enjoying it tons ^^ Trigger warning however for some heavy topics I recommend checking the warnings before watching it <3

Kemono Jihen

I LOVE THEM OKaY? asdfghjk Kemono Jihen gives me the found family topes and I eat them all right up, I love the characters , their designs, the plot, everything. To be fair tho, I did enjoy the manga more than the anime but maybe its a pacing thing? idk but I definitely recommend 100% taking on the manga and maybe after watch the anime but I am enjoying it tons!!

Kai Byoui Ramune

This one may come as a surprise lol?? Like I haven't seen a single soul talk about Ramune but like??? I am actually enjoying it a lot?? and look forward every week for the ep? asdfghj Like yes I will be the first to admit the animation isn't really the beeeeest out there but the plot is funny while also being serious, the characters are quirky and interesting to keep the flow going and I am liking the undertone heavy messages? the soundtrack also slaps imo and yeah I would definitely say to watch the first ep and if you like that sort of dynamic take it up on the rest!

I★Chu: Halfway Through the Idol

Okay I will be the first one to admit this is just me being trash for the idol shows but like?? its my list so I get to decide which found family I am screaming about next ASDFGHJ. As an avid A3 stan this gave me serious vibes of my boys (plus they were made form the same company so like not very surprised there loll) and like I think the characters are cute with adorable relationships and cute songs and its just a lighthearted show I sit down every Wednesday and smile through the 25 minutes so yes I Chu deserves a high spot and yes I recommend it even if it has like a 6.3 on myanimelist sksksks

Dr. Stone: Stone Wars

Look at Gen!!!! enough reasons to watch dr stone!!!! ASDFGH but in all seriousness I....... love them okAy? The plot is amazing and the characters are super entertaining (hiiii Ukyo Gen Senku and Chrome muak) and although it may seem a bit slower paced than first season the arc is gonna get better and better and the finale is gonna be great if they stick to the manga. Only sad that I dont get to see my pirate fuckboy but we better be getting a third season

Bungou Stray Dogs Wan!

when I say this is the happiness of all my Tuesdays I ain’t even exaggerating ASDFGHJ Does this have an important plot? no. Is it transcending to animation? not really. Is it BSD content I've been starving for? absolutely!!! Tbh I see my favorite anime characters in chibi version and I go feral, go watch BSD pogg!!

Horimiya

Me?? searching for that one gif of the side ship scene am obsessed over?? more likely than you think ASDFGH Horimiya holds a special place in my heart because it was the first manga I ever read and the nostalgia is stroNG,,,,,, The plot isn't anything really transcending but the way the characters are captured the feelings just,,,,,, stan!! Also Yuki x Tooru supremacy !

Skate-Leading☆Stars

Okaaaaay this is also me being a bitch for sports anime but like, again, are we surprised?? ASDFGHJ It may be my love for Hayato speaking but ive absolutely loves Skate Leading Stars, I love the group, the main characters, the ships, the routines and its so pretty and they are in love and like the competition and asdfgh its gOoD OKaY??? Watch it if anything for Hayato 👉🏻 👈🏻 My bastard bitch I love the gremlin.

Beastars 2nd Season

I think we are all sleeping on Beastars brushing it off as a furry show. I don’t speak enough about it and I am not one to go about poetic cinemaness on main but beastars is a very poetic cinema show and yall sleeping on it. Coming from someone who was uncomfortable at first with the whole animal relationships part at first, just know beastars is so much more than that, it has a complicated plot with critics about the society within the show with amazing characters, great soundtrack and animation plus banger plot. Pina, Jack, Juno and Legoshi best characters and every week I look forward for the next eps so I hope yall go give it some love.

SK8 The Infinity

If it wasnt clear from my spam every Saturday that I am absolutely in love with this show I dont know what to tell you ASDFGHJ. Sk8 has an amazing range of characters I find fascinating, specially Reki, very much so everything Reki asdfgh but yeah!! Its super entertaining with an interesting plot and its definetely becoming one of my favorite animes because the amount of times ive rewatched the episodes to cope is kind of embarrassing lmaooo, definetely give it a try although I understand its not for everyone but like,,,,, do it for Reki? 🤧👉🏻👈🏻

[narumi-gens]

hi im back bein annoyin as per usual ∠( ᐛ 」∠)＿

unfortunate news mel; ive tried to read kn8 before and only got to chapter like 5 before giving up idk why i couldnt vibe w it when ive been reading shonen/seinin manga for years 😭 should i give it another try?

same goes for blue lock, i usually really like sports series but i couldnt get onboard w that one either i crie

minty, you're never annoying 💕💕 (esp when it's related to kn8, even when it's unfortunate news...)

...and that is unfortunate news. like dire news. I may be biased bc I love kn8 so much, but I would definitely say to give it another shot! I think at least get through the entrance exam chapters, which I think is probably around ch 10-12? I'm not sure how much you've seen of Kikoru but her and Kafka's relationship and dynamic is just so fucking amazing even in the earlier chapters, so that might also get you more into it.

also, the kn8 plot really goes in a direction I really wasn't expecting about 30-ish chapters in that had it feeling extra fresh. and that's around when the manga really starts to open up its world and introduce a bunch of great characters and shows more of defense force. (also the loml doesn't show up until I think ch 3...8? 39? so I personally would recommend getting to his introduction but that's also...pretty far for a manga you're not feeling lol)

I'm of two minds on the whole "not vibing with a manga":

1) unless a manga does something to immediately turn me off or I know immediately that I'm not gonna like it, I'm pretty generous and give it about 15-20 chs before calling it quits. sometimes it takes a little bit for some manga to get going or for me to really connect with it. that's kind of how I'm feeling with sakamoto days. like I wasn't really feeling it for the first like 10-15 chapters but I'm a little past that and am starting to vibe with it more.

2) while I'm pretty generous with how much leeway I give a manga to hook me in, I'm also very much of the "don't continue something that you're not into" school of thinking. if you have other things you want to read/watch/play/do/whatever then don't waste your time! I drop shows all the time if I'm not immediately into them lol

also, I thought blue lock was the art anime and then looked it up and saw that it's the soccer anime and I'm thinking of blue period lmao also the trailer for the anime looks stupid so I think you're in the right on that one (pls don't come for me blue lock fans ����🏽)

tldr pls read kn8 but don't feel bad if you can't get into it! I'll still love you anyways but here's a picture of the loml to maybe entice you...

[theunconcernedembalmer]

Toko! I was thinking of creating an ask the character blog for IDV or Genshin Impact and wanted a few tips on how to start off. Anything you can share?

ey yo my dude!! thank you so much for this question, now im lowkey tempted (again) to make a genshin ask blog sjadhlkshgkahshglsaj anyway my 1.5 cents is under the cut, yall know how much i talk here HAHAHAHAH

uhhhhhh so i guess we start with picking a character u really Vibe with tm? I KNOW THIS SOUNDS LIKE COMMON SENSE BUT LIKE ive been considering making a genshin ask blog for a while now but i never really got to it cos i couldnt really decide on a character (plus the fact that their outfits are. so intricate. is also a hmm since i try to follow details to a t) (at first i wanted to do zhongli, but i feel like to be able to muse him well u need to know the lore super super well, which i dont n im too lazy to research on that aha. n u know how much i respect characterizations, especially for such a complex character like him. i also considered xiangling for a period of time mostly for guoba but also like i have 2+1 blogs here n having one more might not be a very good idea aha) (as for aesop he was my Hyperfixation Character tm also cos i looked at his kit n went Yep i could work with this. probably)

so assuming ur not a dumbass like me n u kinda know who u wanna pick, id actually say to snoop around here for other ask blogs n kinda get a feel of the... scene? is that the word? or like u know, other blogs that u can potentially vibe with. ive run a couple of ask blogs before this current one (both that have died for different reasons) n from my experience interacting with other blogs (if theyre okay with it, i think most should be) is pretty fun. it also kinda helps get ur blog around to other ppl on other blogs so they can go Oh whats this cool shit n check u out, n its also a reason why we kinda reblog promo posts for other blogs (also cos we’re always excited when someone new comes on, its really the more the merrier. we see all :eyes:). interacting with other blogs is also an option when ur inbox is looking real roomy too

another reason why i havent exactly done a genshin blog is that idk i cant actually seem to find genshin ask blogs around (i have seen rp blogs, or those that answer asks with mostly text instead of art, but thats. not my thing since i hate my own writing aha) (i did find one aether blog some time ago, but for some reason i hardly see them around anymore??? idk man i might be wrong). its not like im trying super hard to find them ask blogs, so im sure they exist out there (hopefully?? im not sure but im being optimistic). i mean theres nothing wrong with just starting an ask blog without others around, but for me i do find a difference when i interact with other ask blogs n when i dont, n i prefer when theres others to have fun with (unfortunately i couldnt find any ask blogs to interact with in my previous fandom. i tried, but the blogs i approached seemed to go inactive shortly afterwards...) plus u get to meet friends that way too :D (i made a lot of friends via idv askblogs n its really been a joy vibing with others)

as for the idv scene. gestures around me. unfortunately there are a lot of ask blogs that arent that active anymore, but theres still some of us who are alive n kicking empty inboxes, n im sure everyone would love to see a new face around. winks at u. also there seems to be a lot more blogs popping up lately, which is really heartening to see.

then u kinda just. make ur blog? n a starting introduction post so ppl can reblog it n spread the word XD n yay u have a blog i guess??? XD

i gotta say tho. dont expect ur blog to take off immediately (especially for smaller fandoms like idv, tvbh i didnt think my blog would even get half this far when i started cos of how non existent idv tumblr seemed to be) n ur inbox will probably be looking pretty empty a lot of the time (or at least filled with some that u havent quite thought of how to reply to yet aha) (but also like empty inboxes happen pretty often, im sure most of us here have experienced this problem)

in the case of the first ask blog i ever started, it never really took off at all. ngl it was kind of demoralizing n depressing but to be fair i had picked one of the more obscure characters in the series, so obscure that many ppl in the fandom would have never heard of this character before. if u wanted to know, i took a character that only appeared in the 2nd musical of the series, who also made a very brief cameo in the manga to acknowledge his existence within that universe. thats how obscure my character was, but i went with him purely because he was my favourite character. i will say though i did enjoy it while it lasted n i learnt a lot from the experience, n i think thats whats important really.

i guess this kinda leads on (not really but let me digress) to the whole uhhhh thing where if u choose a more popular character, u get more attention. which is fine i guess? if u really vibe with the character, i mean theyre popular for a reason. n choosing a more popular fandom (like genshin) would objectively also get u more viewers n numbers. but like honestly i believe that ask blogs are meant for u to have fun with, n like trying to get popular gets tiring pretty fast (this shouldnt be like a main goal, but u know sometimes u subconsciously also want that gucci follower count n bomb ass notes or something. i used to be guilty of this until i realized it isnt worth it) especially if ur not enjoying yourself in the process. (case in point: my previous fandom was considerably larger n my blog got about 700 followers within a year or so, but it got very tiring n stressful to maintain after my interest in it died, n no one was really interacting with the blog even though i tried which kinda made it even more depressing despite the so called success n popularity of the blog)

anyway on a less serious note, theres a lot of fun stuff u can do with the ask blog, like some ask blogs have really fancy tags that i really like n try to do but also like not really HAHAHAHA. i kinda just channel what i want to see in an ask blog into my own ask blogs (good art is one, i try very hard for it to be good :,DD another is characterization, n others is just extra miscellaneous arts n stuffs like au ideas or memes. these are also somethings u could work on during ask box downtimes perhaps)

uhhh another side thing is like a posting schedule i guess? like ppl would be more likely to interact (i think) if ur blog is relatively active, n this is usually determined by the last post u made (i think XD). but like generally for blog maintenence id say try to kinda find a frequency that ur comfortable with?? cos i know my once a day posting is kinda insane if i wasnt so hyperfixated on all of this n fight the urge to dump all ur replies when u finish them XD (though ive seen some blogs do that n they do it pretty frequently so its pretty nice to know once u see their post u can spend some time going through the latest batch of posts XD) the queue function is pretty useful here even though i truthfully have never really used it, i kinda just post from my drafts really but it also helps to space out ur content to seem somewhat active especially when u dont have the time to be working on replies sometimes. i hope u know what im trying to say here aha

ANYWAY that was like my 1.5 cents cos i dont even think its worth 2 cents HAHAHAHAH these are just my thoughts from running all my blogs up till now, some that are still running n the others that have just died a natural death. i wouldnt actually delete them (theyre still around actually XD) cos theyre kinda like archives n i can look back at what i did last time. cos ngl i made some high quality stuff back then, n i dont even know how i managed to do that aldhflhdsgk. also ppl do look at archive blogs every now n then for the content thats there yknow

BUT YES anyway if u do decide to join the idv ask blogs hmu, ill be sure to give u a lil shoutout here. winks

Duke devlin

DUUUUUKEEEEEE!!!!

favorite thing about them: i just love his character design SO fucking much....of all the yugioh duel monster characters he feels like one of the ones that Most encapsulates "this looks like an OC I would design." red and black gambling aesthetic vibes always get me, eheheh

least favorite thing about them: ok real hit the DDM episode arc is ROUGH to get through. duke this game is fucking BORING. IM SORRY MAN. really excited to see it play out in the manga though. i wanna see his fucked up dad.

favorite line: i cant think of one off the top of my head from the show but he has a line in duel links where he's like "lord british space fighter, lauuunch your attack~" in a HORRIBLE fake british accent and it makes me laugh so hard. duke dorklin

brOTP: LISTEN. LISTEN. I THINK DUKE AND RYOU SHOULD HANG OUT. PEOPLE WHO LOVE DICE FLOCK TO EACH OTHER they should show each other their massive dice collections I know they both have!!!!!!

OTP: I ACTUALLY DONT HAVE ONE I FEEL PARTICULARLY STRONGLY ABOUT lots of duke pairings are fun and I can vibe with them--I respect duke/joey and tristan/duke sure man hell yeah!! tbh i can vibe with joey/tristan/duke too. some guy summer!!! im also a little bit like *thinks about aro duke* oh thats fun too :-)

nOTP: idk if i have one?? ive seen some people into duke/yami marik and im mostly just like ??? ????? ?????? ok man ?? i guess???? this is how i feel about a lot of ygo pairings honestly,,

random headcanon: duke is definitely the kind of dnd player who is All About tieflings and a little too excited about playing a bard. Very "i need to flirt with every NPC" energy sorry @ his DM. i love him because of and despite this.

unpopular opinion: idk if this is unpopular or not but i Love the extended part of s4 where hes just driving rex and weevil around. absolutely obsessed. love it. love this particular trio of characters interacting a LOT. OH ALSO im not as big on his DSOD design, idk.

song i associate with them: hmmm i could see everybody loves me by onerepublic mayhaps??

favorite picture of them: this picture is so fuckign funnyHHGDFHGSDG

haikyuu boyfriends~

ah i missed writing these but i had no inspiration recently (;-;) work has been rough. so let drown in fluffy love

some spoilers for non manga readers. a small small hint of oihina. bc i love them. i want them together all the time. i've already written their bf!hcs so now i can freely ship them. leave me to my OTP

bf!iwa chan~

* calm vibes

* think strong, protective bf? yeah that's the good stuff lol

* tbh, he was probably worried at first that u were getting close to him cos u liked oikawa, that happens fairly often so he didn't wanna get his hopes up

* but once that barrier's knocked down (idk maybe u hit him like ITS U I LIKE BOKE totally his love language hahahha and he realises like oh. OH) he's pretty happy.

* will b all like :p to oikawa cos he's got a nice, steady partner while he's over there getting dumped repeatedly (see? told u u shld give them more attention. u can't just go around accepting everyone's confession! you'll hurt people if you don't take them seriously, trashykawa)

* anyway he (like oikawa) plans dates in secret, mostly because 1. one time makki and mattsun found out, they followed him around making snarky comments and there was no second date and 2. oikawa has a tendency to crash his dates (he's trying to hide from his fans, and iwachaaaaaaan u choose the most boring places, they will never find me in a museum of all plac-OW OW OW STOP HITTING ME)

* yes so anyway iwaizumi is forever trying to yeet oikawa out of your relationship, but at this point you've probably accepted that they come as a comedic duo and u cannot escape.

* if u call iwaizumi iwachan, he will grumble about being corrupted by shittykawa and it's not fair that when they say it it's so cute

* wholesome boi. responsible af. will text u throughout the day, making sure u ate properly or work isn't too rough.

* when you're stressed out he will somehow find some time to appear in front of you with snacks (healthy ones!) and some sweet drinks, or coffee

* he also does randomly turn up with flowers. totally randomly. it makes your day ♪( ´▽｀)

* "i just saw them and thought it would look nice in your hands" so soft i cry in solidarity w u

* will hold you while you cry. when you calm down and go to wash your face he will make u a hot drink. you will b touched and cry again and he will tell not to cry into the cup while pulling you back into his arms.

* will send you to the doctor's if you're sick. will constantly text you to make sure u r resting and taking medication properly. will also drop by with food, store bought, but something healthy and easy to eat.

* he likes museum dates cos it's quiet. after all, he is training a team of explosive and loud volleyball idiots with no idea how loud they are talking. bokuto pls for the love of god SHUT UP! MIYA STOP FLIRTING WITH HINATA! HYAKUZAWA STOP HIM NO NO NOT BY LIFTING HINATA UP WHY ARE U ALL JUST SO THICK HEADED WELL?? PUT HIM DOWN U BIG DOOFUS. hinata has oikawa already anyway AND NO. HOSHIUMI IF U GET ON ANYONES SHOULDERS I AM KNOCKING U OFF PERSONALLY iwa chan is suffering (;-;) you r his refuge

* SO YEAH. a nice calm place away from all of that fuss is great. walks in the park, things like that. calming, quiet, and all his focus can b on you.

* he is generally not a pda person, but he will hold your hand and all. makki and mattsun have made a lot of bets on what kind of bf he is and constantly bug you about well? how good is the sex!!! and things like that (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧

* yes so iwaizumi doesn't let u hang out with them anymore, such a pity really bc they r so fun to b around. pout a little and sulk and he will give in ♪( ´▽｀)

* he doesn't like it when u come to his matches. he will text you before and after tho. he doesn't use emojis.

* he's the type who doesn't back down in an argument. u hate to admit it but he is right most of the time. curse his logic. this perfect man. how could he b so flawless

* ofc there are times where he is illogical. he sometimes is too hard on himself. or when oikawa is around you know the average mental age of the seijoh boys drop. which means many strange shenanigans, but those are cute.

* he likes it when you comfort him, but he doesn't like you to know when he is stressed. what a bag of contradictions. basically he doesn't want you to know he is stressed, but you can tell cos he just wants you to hold him or he just holds you (you have no choice in this basically but let's face it you're probably ok with it right hahahah be i am 100% down to be enveloped by a warm iwa-chan and those yummy muscles). he will tell you the problem later, but he doesn't need a solution, he just wants someone to hear him out.

* loyal af, will never leave you. sometimes insecure, but reassure him. i mean, has he seen himself??? he had his fair share of fangirls too back in seijoh but most were the more quiet, serious types. and most were too shy to approach him, too

* he likes to nuzzle his face into your hair.

* fav place to kiss you: temple

* fav place to be kissed: soft cheek kisses, eye kisses, forehead kisses. pepper him with them. make him feel loved ♪( ´▽｀)

* anyway 10/10 boyfriend material hurry and get him while stocks last lololol

*******

Kaminari Denki x Shinsou Hitoshi for the ask meme?

hey dino!

001 | send me a ship and I will tell you:

when I started shipping it if I did:

my thoughts:

What makes me happy about them:

What makes me sad about them:

things done in fanfic that annoys me:

things I look for in fanfic:

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other:

My happily ever after for them:

who is the big spoon/little spoon:

what is their favorite non-sexual activity:

when I started shipping it if I did:

uhhhhh i cant remember the date, bc im terrible at that shit. but i do know it was quite a bit after i had gotten into bnha actually. i think it was when i started to read the manga and i'd seen their interactions...and i also saw some shinkami art that introduced me to the idea too...

my thoughts:

theyre cute, fun, and theyre also like. super happy. such a different vibe from a lot of my other ships. there is angst, but its a lot different flavour of angst usually, and its not quite as deep-rooted in their canon interactions/characters as my other ships. also, theyre super versatile. easily a comfort ship, but i surprisingly don't really consume a lot of content about them—maybe because they're still kids and i tend to like adults more.

What makes me happy about them:

its so easy to make them care for one another, and theyre so wholesome too. theyre just have such vibrant first-love kind of energy. they're like the teenage couple that are super stable and honest and comfortable with each other—and it's just so heartwarming to see.

What makes me sad about them:

i dont think its them specifically, but just more this kind of lack of depth—or really more vibes and themes i can explore with them. which is maybe why i favour other ships more. but in terms of the content i like to submerge myself in, these two get kind of repetitive in my head. and it can get boring. and that makes me sad bc i like them a lot but i find how stable they can be—or the ways that they're not as well—can get repetitive. personal preference probably is the reason for this.

things done in fanfic that annoys me:

i havent read a tonne of shinkami fic im ngl—and the ones i have read ive really liked. so i dont really get annoyed with them....just more kind of bored sometimes.

things I look for in fanfic:

aus babeyyy. and for them to be aged up bc i dont particularly like teenage drama. and i prefer the whole dealing with adulthood thing. maybe bc im growing into an adult now and trying to leave hs and all those years behind hahah

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other:

i dont have a lot of shinsou ships....shinbaku sounds interesting though. i think shinmina would be cool too. or shinsero. im just shipping shinsou with the entire bakusquad here lol. but for kami, god he's also super shippable. i really like bakukami, todokami and ochakami tho.

My happily ever after for them:

just them, chilling, in bed with a cat or smthn. idk just domestic fluff ig while they deal with...normalcy.

who is the big spoon/little spoon:

kami is the little spoon and shinsou the big spoon lol. i think kami loves to give shinsou hugs tho, so they switch sometimes but like yeah

what is their favorite non-sexual activity:

petting cats! gaming! shinsou listening as kami rants about his new obsession or just something he noticed and suddenly has a billion thoughts on. i feel like theyd sometimes try to do couples yoga and it always goes badly but in a really funny way
