I see that Virgin River, with that ending, completed its transformation into a copy of Hart of Dixie 💀

Be honest, what are your thoughts on appledash? Do you hate it or its more of not a big deal

Not a big deal to me. I like it, I see all the appeals, I just personally like Rarijack more.

[puppyeared]

you are umasou

i think one thing that’s funny about ajin (aside from everything about it) is that if you only know about it from the anime or general cultural osmosis you think that kai is gonna be a secondary protagonist and our yaoi bait but when you read the manga it’s like no he’s. gone. for dozens of chapters. and then they just drop this other guy who looks kinda like kai if you squint into the narrative and he is Always there and fills that role instead. sorry guys the childhood friend is gone here is this kinda stupid random construction worker instead have fun

It's just, I only just got here again, and I'm--

I'm starving, too, like...

[putterphubase]

I was asking Ai to bring this food to his dad. Can you take him there?

For sure.

See? Yu is such a good boy.

genuinely wild that early 2000s rom coms have somehow managed to be better written and more giggle kick feet twirl hair in an hour and a half than bton has managed in 8 one hour long episodes

i find it really interesting how some Cait defenders talk (and don't get me wrong, i actually sympathize A LOT with her, and i hate that she's in pain) because they act as if the only thing she's doing is trying to kill Jinx (and that's what she says, sure, and i don't blame her for wanting that) but like. she literally used a biochemical weapon against a whole community to "get them out" so they wouldn't "get hurt" in the crossfire. girlie ????? that shit can literally kill you or fuck up your lungs/organs forever. it's the whole reason (SPOILER FOR THE GAME!!!) Singed's daughter Orianna (if that's really her) "died". Caitlyn shot Vi and was willing to risk shooting a kid to get Jinx. no one is mad at her for wanting revenge (it's completely her right, even if you morally disagree), they're mad because a privileged cop keeps putting people she barely sees as humans in danger for a personal feud. also she's a fascist now.

I’m just gonna say it I don’t think what Alicent said to Aegon was exactly wrong and she actually did have a valid point. She wasn’t trying to tear him down or be cruel she was trying to get him to listen and learn because up until very recently he had no interest in being king or learning the targaryen history, learning Valyrian etc

In the context of the scene Aegon is upset / frustrated because the council won’t listen to him (mind you, he just walked out on a council meeting because they/their political talk bores him) and she asks plainly “why should they?” Aegon doesn’t have an answer other than “because I am the king” and Alicent proceeds to tell him that the men on the council earned their positions, they’ve spent years learning, improving and gaining experience on the job. Alicent also points out that she herself has had 6 years of experience ruling in viserys’ place so she has some understanding of what it truly entails. She’s not talking to him just as his mother but also as a member of that council, as an advisor. She took the more motherly, kinder approach in the carriage scene, now she’s taking the tough love approach. When she tells him to do nothing to either learn to make good decisions or let the people who know what they’re doing do their jobs. Sure, she didn’t go about it the best way and Aegon’s feelings were obviously hurt because he wanted validation and he wants to be seen as a good king and worthy of being the most powerful person in the room. Alicent as well as Otto That’s why

Telling your adult nepo baby son that he should be learning to actually do his job from people who worked their way up and prove to everyone that he has a right to be king because he’s a good ruler is not abusive nor is it bad parenting. However, the show did throw a couple of lines that I take issue with “if you hope to be half the king your father was” - I was going to analyse this line and Alicent’s feelings of idealisation towards viserys in another post but I’m just fucking sick of every character putting viserys on a pedestal and this is obviously just Alicent being used as a mouth piece for the writers I’m surprised they didn’t have her tell him Rhaenyra is doing a better job than he is to be honest. The big one that I think most people are angry at is “you have no idea what sacrifices were made to put you on the throne!” His son was one of those sacrifices and I kind of wish Aegon had brought it up and we had seen Alicent react but honestly? I just don’t think the writers care, they want Alicent to look like a hypocrite and a bad mother, framing her scenes with her children as intentional parallels to Rhaenyra’s. After all, she put Aegon on the throne, her reasoning of wanting him on the throne to protect him and her other children/grandchildren is long forgotten and she going to be held accountable for anything that her children do and anything that happens to them.

Hey there, are you ok?

hey! thank you for checking up on me, this was really sweet!

i SWEAR i did not die. i just got a bit busy doing SladeRobin Week (which i will finish so help me god-) as well as things in my real life. i'm still trying to find the balance of like. fandom creation and working. i am very lucky to have the living situation that i do rn, but it is the sort of schedule where i do have to be ready to watch a baby at really any given point so. it's a tricky balance right now, but i'm going to be active here again! maybe not as many asks answered a day as before, but i want to try to answer like, a few a day and whatnot.

i also think i got briefly overwhelmed, in that i got more asks faster than i answered them. which is the opposite of a problem and something i'm very lucky for! but it did make it difficult for me to keep up and know what to answer next. (this is *not* a discouragement to sending asks! i love them all and pls send as many as you want! i just am a little slow sometimes so i appreciate the patience! <3)

so! i'm back and i'm good, ty for asking! we are back to the regularly scheduled programming <3

[badly-drawn-bbu]

HI FRIENDS!! As some might’ve heard from the main accounts of Admin Maah, today marks THREE YEARS since they first became a fan of BBU! But what you might not know is that I, Admin Buck, share this same anniversary with them!!! >:3 we were actually on the same call together when she discovered the game!

Before we get into some personal messages below, let’s talk about the art! We collabed on recreating two drawings we each made that faithful day ❤️ individual credits will be in this post’s tags!

Now here are some SUPER sweet words from Admin Maah 🥺: “I’ve already had my little celebration for the day but!! I can get sappy Again, as a Treat. BDBBU was started as a small side project back in 2021 because I really loved making silly stuff for this game, and years later I still do! These characters and this world are so incredibly fun for me to explore and work with and BBU countinues to be a source of joy for me through it all 🥹🩵 - Maah”

My turn to say sentimental things yippee!!! I haven’t played a more direct part in BDBBU for very long, but being a fan of BBU itself has both spanned most of our (the admins) friendship, and has made a huge impact on it overall. Making silly art and jokes surrounding the games characters has brought us closer together ever since we discovered BBU, and I’m excited to continue having fun with my best friend and making you guys laugh with our badly-drawn-bbu art onwards <:3c 💖

[energysynergymatrix]

Ok I bit the bullet and made an Ososan OC and his full name is Len Kanemaru.

He's the so-called perfect guy, pretty boy barista type turned up to 11, who might as well have manifested from thin air, who has genuine fanboys and fangirls, and most of the Matsunos want him fucking dead. He's oblivious to both of these aspects of the public opinion and seems kind of empty headed for the most part. He is also struggling just as badly as them but literally no one would believe him if he told them.

He also wants to kiss the oldest DESPITE the fact that his brothers are so jealous of him for being so perfect. Shenanigans ensue.

If you want a more detailed write up about him read the cut.

OK SO . Len is a guy trying his best to pretend to be an adult despite wanting to be anything but it. Unlike the Matsunos who dont pretend to be an adult and are anything but it, Len is trying to push through adult life while wanting to return to childhood when things were easier.

Sure he has a job as barista, but he's poor with money, spending it like he's still a teenager, struggles to maintain contact with people he’s befriended outside of work, DESPITE thinking people hating him is the end of the world, and surprisingly, still lives with his parents.

The thing is that he's REALLY good at pretending to have it all together. He has quite a few fanboys and fangirls and is often described as a prince. (It’s because of his charmingly good customer service skills that is his only real social experience post highschool.) But, despite being in his mid twenties, hes kind of poorly equipped socially and is unable to pick this up, despite it being clear to literally everyone.

(Like he thinks he’s being bad at pretending to be a well put together adult, and then turns around and can handle rush pretty well understaffed, not make any mistakes, and still keep a pleasant demeanor that his admirers swoon over. Anytime someone does act like a fan trying to get his love it’s met with confusion and just. “Huh.” more than anything. He doesn’t even reject them because he doesn’t realize so many people are in love with him)

This includes quite a few Matsunos who are jealous of him for being so popular (and admittedly kind of cool), find his princely yet oblivious attitude almost annoying, and somewhat creepy because of how much he knows about them from highschool. And those who aren't irritated by him are relatively apathetic towards him.

The only reason theyre so aware of him is the fact that he and Todomatsu worked at the same cafe before the latter quit. It was after he quit that Len properly met the sextuplets, having a chance encounter with the boys sometime after. Todomatsu was already irritated by him, by again, seeing above, but also because he already seemed intimately familiar with Totty during his highschool years.

It's like they had a whole classmate just manifest into being while skipping the "actually go to class together" part.

(They did actually go to school together but literally no one knew he existed during then. Not to their fault though, Len was basically that one vine that's like "I can't I have so much to do tomorrow" *fucks around on the keyboard. Because of that Len ended up being bad with people by the time he graduated and was ushered into the work force by his parents. As a result he can't really keep friends, often times contact dying off on accident. A lot of the time spent working is him TRYING his best to maintain relationships as an adult but it never really works out. Deep down Len wishes he could redo highschool, so he could not only get this skills but also find some memories that he so clearly missed out on. Because he willingly opted out of making those therefore other people don’t remember him. As far as he knows he hasn’t really had a friend since middle school.)

But like after the two and Totty's brothers encountered each other in public a whole bomb got dropped and nothing was the same.

Despite generally not liking him the Matsunos keep him around, mostly due to Totty's insistence saying they can use him (so they cant kill him yet!) but because Len is kind of bad with people in general outside of having a fandom (that, again, came with his customer service skills), and the Matsunos are the Matsunos, this never ever goes well.

Despite this and how much shenanigans the Matsunos end up dragging him into, he considers them friends since its the closest relationship he's maintained outside of his house. On top of that, he almost admires them for being NEETs. He's kind of ashamed of it, because he knows they have to be an adult, but because he's struggling so much as an adult, he wants nothing more than to be like them. He wants to stop being an adult and return to highschool.

It's why he takes to Osomatsu so much, since he seems most open about how shitty he is and how much he doesnt want to grow up. Like weirdly enough, his man-child behavior is what makes Len likes him so much. Sure he also has a big heart and loves his family, and Len can acknowledge Oso’s best aspects, but it’s the worst parts of him that loves.

And that admiration for having his character laid out flat and embracing his childishness despite his age and situation, how he practically will just grow up when he wants to rather than when he has to (unlike Len), makes the perfect man fall for the loser guy.

The more he hangs around the Matsunos the more they encourage him to tap into his evil side, and may end up making him worse, but for now he's Mr Perfect and most of them hate him for that. He doesn't get the message though so he's just kind of hanging around them for now.

Anyways he and Osomatsu are literally I'm Glad You're Evil Too to me . And also look at these sketches of him .

can't stop thinking about the duality of the HB fandom on reddit vs. tumblr in regards to the new short

like over on reddit you have people like "Yeah the new short was funny but there wasn't much depth or character development oh well, at least we got some good memes out of it"

and then you have tumblr posts that are like. 3000 word dissertations analyzing the psychology of blitz's sexual performance and what that means for his relationship with stolas, treating it as ESSENTIAL character info

[ninja-knox-ur-sox-off]

Macaque about Wukong: he’s selfish, he only cares about himself, he always wins, he always gets exactly what he wants, I let him use me, he knows exactly what he’s doing and every decision he makes is purposefully made to make the people closest to him miserable until he’s done using them to get what he wants, and what he wants is power- get out while you can

Azure, about Wukong: he’s selfless, he cares so much about his people and his friends and puts them before himself, that’s why I followed him, he’s powerful, he would make a glorious ruler of the heavens, but he doesn’t know what he’s doing and he fails and was tricked into making the wrong decision but that’s why he needs me-

(i’ve only watched up to ses 4 episode 8 please no spoilers in tags)

[moe-broey]

Textpost redraw that only works in a modern setting, so. I gave them silly outfits (and a little bit of lore!)

Some zoom ins on the illusts!

And Lore

Moe is like. A SHUT-IN shut-in. So in any modern setting that isn't "Hey wanna visit my hometown for a sec (events so far have followed canon at least loosely)", it would have to meet Alfonse under Extremely Specific Circumstances.

And finally! Textpost under cut!
