My partner sent this to me (a Dragon Age fan):
and the very first thing that struck me was "wait... Has Varric been wearing a day collar this whole time?!"
EDIT: OK I've now down the bare minimum research on Earring Magic Ken and that first photo is even funnier with this context:
Source:
#ken serving tho#see this is what being in a fandom does to you#i didn't even know what a day collar was until 2 years ago#though to be fair that was because Liz Truss wore something that looked suspiciously like a day collar#look it up#varric tethras#dragon age varric#dragon age inquisition#dragon age veilguard#dragon age#sub Varric i guess?#cock ring#earring magic ken#I'm sorry but “people notice the cock ring” had me fully spitting out my coffee

Calypso and the Pink Unicorn's pirate drag show !!!!!
[PRINT] - [COMMISSIONS]
Wee john served so hard it should be illegal 16 dead countless injured, I am dead Calypso was so hot
Process (and my french rant on why I hate the choice of la vie en rose) below vvv
Final without the text
Rough colors
Sketch !
Sorry english people, but what follows is too french an opinion to voice in english (I'll sum it up for u in the end <3)
Ok alors je suis désolé, Con o'Neill chante vraiment très bien ca n'a rien avoir avec sa performance, mais vraiment la vie en rose c pas possible. Le man est sur les champs Elysées a me vendre des tours Eiffel en plastique jpp- Franchement pipe et jambe de bois ca serai mieux passer. Ou les demons de minuit !!!!pourquoi pas les demon de minuit ?????? Chanson hyper connu française. Ok c moins cucu que la vie en rose, mais bonus point plus kinky (je pensais jamais decrire les demons de minuit comme etant kinky mais here we are-)
Ou juste n'importe quoi d'autre-
(And words of wisdom from my evil advisor @quijicroix : légende vivante (de Lorenzo) ça va avec tout. Ou une chanson triste de jul (pas bande organisée, tu peux pas ken dessus). Après tout le monde déteste la police ou nik le front national c les chansons les plus romantiques que je connaisse. Y a santiago aussi, avec le gros mat la. Les trois mâts, pour le steddyhands.)
Tout sauf la fucking vie en rose pitier (meme si, encore une fois, Con o'Neill la chante vraiment bien)
Welcome back english people ! To sum it up : la vie en rose is a french song for tourists that set up a fight or flight reaction in every native speaker. I'm glad people enjoyed this, but I cannot describe the cringe and disappointment I felt when they decided to have him sing this song- (even tho he sings it beautifully (which is part of the disappointment))
They are SO MUCH love songs in french, why this one.
PS : at this point (ep7) I don't know why Stede is still bothering with Ed "I'm hitting the banks didn't tell him which one" teach, when Izzy hands is right there ????? Sir please open your eyes
#I've never felt so validated by a show in my life#eat shit izzy haters !!!!!! How does it feel to loose this hard ?? hehehe#If you saw me post this with a huge typo in the title#No u did not#our flag means death#ofmd#ofmd spoilers#ofmd season 2#ofmd s2#izzy hands#wee john feeney#wee john ofmd#izzy hands ofmd#drag show#drag queens#ofmd s2 ep6#pirates#digital painting#illustration#art#my art#digital art#fanart#ofmd fanart#israel hands#prints

Ultraman Rising First Thoughts
Just finished the film and wow, this definitely exceeded my expectations
Going into this, I thought that the film will have a typical boring and basic plot cause the director stressed that it'll serve as an introductory film for the mainstream western viewer
But wow was I glad to be wrong about that
But perhaps its because I personally resonated with the overall message and the struggles the MC goes through
I also enjoyed and caught most of the Easter eggs here and there from various main series, the netflix ultraman suit trilogy and even a godzilla one
The ending was the highlight for me as it definitely felt very emotional as well
I also liked how nuanced the villain was, and can tell that the director purposely portrayed him as such. And not to mention under the same circumstances, I'd probably do the same
Tho if there was one thing that was a negative for the movie that I have to say, it's probably the build up felt too long, but then again, it was understandable given the premise (still not exactly sure why Ken and his mom relocated elsewhere from his dad tho)
I'm also slightly perturbed at the fact that Professor Sato's Ultra aged so quickly in just 20 years where Ultras in the series can seem to not age a day even after 10 000 years. But if TsuPro wants to reconcile this in subsequent UGF installments, they could probably just say that they hail from an Ultra species that age the same as humans or sth with the same lifespans, or that he remain too far away from the source of his home planet that he's bascially shriveled up after 20 years or sth
Overall, this film can definitely be enjoyed by all even for us hardcore fans. Shannon also did mention that he has ideas for 2 more sequels (like ShinU) but it'll depend on how this movie does. Definitely looking forward to a trilogy series directed by Shannon indeed

ctm s13e06 thoughts (spoilery, sweary, sleep deprived, scottish)
actual pisstake. frothing at the mouth. rabid. feral. unhinged. not being normal.
first of all, the episode.
matthew aylward is an absolutely abhorrent fiend. every single time his face showed up on the screen, me & my pals on the discord server were POURING abuse into the chat. callin this man the worstest names in the world. truly the minginest bloke ive ever seen. imagine shouting at my best pal trixie franklin (who is your beautiful gorjiss wife) just because she tried to help solve a problem YOU created. DIAF matthew aylward.
AND NOW APPARENTLY NONNATUS HOUSE ISN'T SAFE FROM CLOSURE BECAUSE TRASHTHEWS STUPID ARSE IS LOSING ALL HIS MONEY?? TAKING THE PEE EYE DOUBLE ESS ON THAT ONE MATE. NOT HAPPY. THE YOUNG LASSIES (WHO ARE PROBABLY ABOUT THE SAME AGE AS ME) HAVE ONLY JUST GOT THEIR PERMANENT JOABS AND NOW NONNATUS COULD BE CLOSING??? LIFE RUINING
speaking of new faces, love aw the wee pupil midwives passing their exams!! so excited to see wee rosalind and wee joyce as permanent staff at nonnatus!!!
speaking of the pupils, THEY ARE TRYING TO SET UP A ROSALIND/CYRIL ROMANCE STORYLINE AND IM NOT HERE FOR IT. ROSALIND CLIFFORD IS QUITE OBVIOUSLY A BABYGAY AND SHES IN LOVE WITH JOYCE HIGHLAND. STOP MAKING PEOPLE STRAIGHT HEIDI. BE BRAVE AND BOLD AND CATER TO THE SAPPHICS HEIDI. WE HAVEN'T HAD CANON LESBOS SINCE PUPCAKE HEIDI. WE ARE STARVING AND MALNOURISHED HEIDI.
speaking of cyril tho, he's an absolute legend and was serving so much cunt this episode. 100% lad. love how nice he was to the poor irish wummin & her barins.
also doctor turner talking about his old arthritic knees like he doesn't know what a temptation that is for me as a recovering dilf addict. scrum diddly umptious. i had to go and have a lie down and a valium after that blatant and violent assault on my mental health.
speaking of scrum diddly umptious and the turners, costume designer putting shelagh turner in lesbian flag colours THE ENTIRE EPISODE and teasing all the gay lassies who have taste? cruel and unusual punishment. i fancy her so much. at least it was acknowledged how bonny she was in this one (and every one) (cheers sister v you queen)
speaking of the turners also, it's fabulous to see all of my stepchildren safe and well, especially my best and favourite wee lassie may <3 i know we're probably coming up for some pretty harrowing stories about her, so it was awfy gid to see thon wee smile for a moment.
finally: loved seeing sheelz in her element on the old johanna whacking oot the jesus bangers wi the local weans SING HOSANNA SING HOSANNA SING HOSANNA TO THE KING OF KINGS!! GIVE ME OIL IN MY LAMP KEEP IT BURNING 🔥 🕺🏼💃👯♂️
fuckall but slay.
not about this episode but my very final thought: WHAT THE ACTUAL SHITTING FUCK DO YOU MEAN WE'RE NOT GETTING CTM NEXT WEEK BECAUSE OF THE BAFTAS. WHO GIVES A RATS SMELLY ARSE ABOUT THE BRITISH ACADEMY FILM AND TELEVISION AWARDS. WHO EVEN WATCHES THEM. EVERYBODY LOVES CTM. LITERALLY EVERYONE IN THE WORLD. I DON'T KNOW ANYONE WHO EVEN KENS WHIT THE BAFTAS ARE AW ABOOT.
god bless my ctm luvvas. catch yis aw in a fortnight. big kissies to all (especially my wifey sheely turny)

treat it as a prompt to spread your food motifs thoughts, would love to hear some (especially after finale)
ty for askinggg <333
4x10, as told through food:
Caribbean Air Clear was a big win for caroline ed truthers. caroline’s food stuff has always been a stand-in for her failure to parent— she is either resentful of having to, or unable to, nourish them; she gives food in paltry amounts because that’s how she parcels out affection. and the kids find what she does give them inedible. at the Peter Munion Pitch Dinner, she announces that the portions are going to be small, and the only thing that looks like palatable food in her kitchen (the cheese) is reserved for peter— a person she actually chose to put in her life and seems to be happy with.
in contrast to logan, who tested and punished them around food, i read caroline’s inability to nourish them as more unintentional— she just can’t do it because she feels so much bitterness about her family. i also think there’s gender stuff in there— she's not Womanly bc she can’t cook (or, more likely, have someone else cook) properly, she’s like if the wire mother didn’t even give milk. in some ways, she’s sort of girlish rather than womanly (expressing in chiantishire that she wants to like have fun and drink and fuck and gossip rather than settle into being an older woman who’s best days are behind her. and she gets along best with her girliest kid, roman.) it always makes me feel crazyinsane that the one moment In The Light that roman seems to have gotten is laughing with logan about caroline’s inability to feed them (“three muddy trout for six and fill up on mustard”) those kids had no chance to be fed emotionally or physically lol </3
meal fit for a king! lets talk about it. it is, first of all and foremost, sweet! it’s a time when food is being used playfully and you’re expected to eat rather than expected to abstain. but theres also such a dark side to it imo, as with all affection for the roys. 1. shiv spits in the blender (in a mirror of when she spit in kens notebook in s3) which is meant to be at least a little bit degrading 2. the whole point is kind of degrading (the name sounds like something logan would do — see boar on the floor, dinner for winners and mole in the hole from the script books) make kendall eat something disgusting, not as a test per se, but as a way of humbling him just a little. food is still lowkey a weapon even when it’s sweet and silly. (also theres some kendall jesus motif— roman crowns him but in a way that’s mocking etc) 3. it’s sweet specifically because the foods are a) unwanted— the roy kids have been starved, of affection and literally of food, and they’re making something genuinely nice with scraps and b) not luxurious— it’s not ortolan or kendalls endive salad, it’s bread ends and cocoa powder.
there was an interesting moment that mirrored my 4x08 food lore thoughts— ken offers roman rum punch when he’s still trying to woo his board vote against shiv, and roman ignores the punch, pours himself a shot, then grabs a beer. kendall is the one who locked him in a cage and made him eat cake, he’s the reason they had to eat roast chicken, roman experiences his brother as always trying to subordinate him by controlling what he consumes (which is obv a corollary to trying to control him in business.)
on the less thematic/more personally self-serving ed headcanon side of things, nothing has contradicted my hc that roman hasn’t eaten solid food since logan died. all he does is lick Peter’s Special Cheese, drink coffee (sleep deprivation won succession, actually), and drink alcohol. we see roman eat cake at connors rehearsal dinner, pre-logan death and during what he thought was a secure time in the sibling alliance, then never again. his habit of snacking on little bits of fruit and desserts has totally disappeared. tho it's not shown, i could see him eating the night of the election when he realized he won at something and was expecting to crush it at the funeral the next day. if hes becoming logan, hes allowed to eat. but the second he flames out at the funeral and realizes he is, in fact, still a dead man walking, he’d go back to not eating. trying to please the dad in his head, or to express his essential deadness/emptiness without his dad.
ofc, we don't rlly see the other siblings eat, either (i have laser-focused Roman ED vision so something might have slipped past me. does shiv taste the breakfast tom brings her?) notably, no one ate at the Funeral Planning Committee breakfast, they don’t eat at the tailgate im p sure, i don’t think anyone touched the food at the Munion Pitch Dinner. (tbh concerned for shiv’s fetus re: having adequate calories.) i think part of it is grief and part of it is collective family Disorder and part of it is the good old competitive strong dog weak dog stuff.
i made a joke that roman is going to end up like caroline, but i kind of meant it? i can see him having no food in his house, cocktail in hand, snugly burying himself some place out of the way and fucking around with mild self-destruction for the rest of his life. (altho rather than a failhusband i think he’d try to replace logan yet again and end up with a partner who was pretty brutish or domineering)
ty again!
#im formulating thoughts about romans relationship to alcohol#as a contrast to coke but also as a part of his food stuff#maybe ill write about it later!

watched ultraman rising
actually really pleasantly surprised with this!! i kinda loved it? i really liked how it did the theme of parent-child relationships, and how it follows on various other themes in ultra, like the anti-militarism prominent in recent shows. this movie was also like, moodier than i expected? like it's still obviously a kids' film but it's fairly mature. ken's a really well made character and i adore emi. the dad and mom are great too. i also liked emiko psychoanalyzing the fuck out of ken like GIRL you're a sports reporter why do this?? love it tho keep it up. mina also rules.
the animation and aesthetics are also fantastic, INCREDIBLY pretty movie. also wow they really fanserviced ken lmao
honestly watching taro right before it made it serve as a great companion piece to this movie, bc the former's sympathetic viewpoint towards kids compliments this movie's sympathetic viewpoint towards parents. i didn't have many expectations for this movie so i'm happy that it's like, actually a really good film. it has a mood different from usual ultra but like, i really dig it! it still fits ultra a lot. it does keep the underlying tragic angle these shows have so it's good
also wow ken drinks a ton of alcohol in this movie lmao. like they say it's "fizzy drinks" but it's obviously beer. esp since he's hungover in one scene lol. also he really does remind me of asuka from dyna but more asshole. really good lead. honestly this movie does better at balancing the emotional aspects with comedy than a lot of modern USA cartoon movies do? like i loved mutant mayhem but the sappy moments could get a bit too sugary. idk i'm just surprised at how balanced it is as a movie
so yeah. really good movie! i will watch shin soon so i'm excited for that too!!!

gods, i feel a glimmer of understanding, like i can almost see a universal truth beyond the ken of mortal mind
its about good and evil, and how hatred works
Like pain, error, anger, and adversity, hatred is a normal healthy thing to experience.
But also like many of those those things, an obsession with being Good and Pure and Happy all the time in this culture makes feeling those things Wrong
So we have unexpressed, unprocessed hatred in us, that our social group tells us is Wrong and Shameful. But then! our social group tells us it IS okay to hate this, specifically.
Now sometimes there are good reasons to hate something. Just like it serves a purpose in an individual, it has it's place in societal dynamics. We started hating on Karens to correct the social behavior of, like, calling the cops on children for selling lemonade or yelling at a person for doing their job or whatever. Pretty unfortunate for the many nice people named Karen, but there was a reason for the public jumping on that bandwagon, there was a social correction at play, and it needed a catchy label.
Now. In a large group that doesn't encourage healthy processing of hatred, there will always be a bunch of people feeling hate
But there isn't always an appropriate or understood target for group hate. But there IS always an easy target. So sometimes the target is a random celebrity who had one (1) bad take, or a once-popular fashion trend, or a food combination, or like, black people.
Because while it is true that hate itself is a natural and normal thing to feel, it is just like how you need salt to live but having a high salt diet will kill you slowly and eating a few spoonfuls at once will kill you quick. Injudicious hatred is poison.
So, sometimes our group (whatever we consider that group to be) tells us to hate this, or that, and it gives us permission to do the thing that was previously Wrong, and it's a relief. It feels good.
And if we have a lot of hate in us (there are many understandable reasons this could be) or if there just isn't a lot of feeling good in our life, then we start to seek out that feeling good, that relief. We start looking for things to hate. Building up that hatred on purpose in some unconscious way. For the relief of expressing it at a socially acceptable target. Because in your experience of this scary difficult life, you feel so much like screaming and throwing things and using your strongest language, but your group says it's only okay to do that at sports and this short list of targets.
And the list changes. It changes slowly over hundreds of years, and it changes quickly, in the age of the internet it can sometimes be daily.
And when that mob of hatred moves to its next target, it leaves some people behind, who get hooked on hating that thing specifically, and who even subconsciously teach their children to process their own hatred by hating that thing.
and that's how hatred spreads and grows
and the only way to only process group hatred in a healthy, issue correcting way is to have a group of people who process their personal hatred in a healthy way, so they don't have all this unprocessed hatred sloshing around in the basements of their souls.
Who say, okay, i feel hate toward that, and that is okay. I am allowed to feel and express hatred (not always to the target tho, maybe you paint about it or something). but also, why am i feeling hatred? Is this a real thing to hate, or is this a me issue? does hating this serve a purpose, and if so, can that purpose be served better some other way? How can i resolve this so that i acknowledge my feeling and address it enough to let it go, so i do not feel this negative stressful thing anymore? Can i do it through a reasonable respectful communication? Through an attempt to change the dynamic or via an action addressing the root cause? or is this something i can resolve inside myself, write a letter i never send, climb a hill and wordlessly scream it out, something i handle in just me
anyway, thoughts on hatred, and how trying too hard to never have negativity is itself pretty harmful on both an individual and a societal level

Girly you still doin Ken sato stuff because I’m a lil hungry 😞 and it’s now really dawning on me that I need hell of a lot more Kenji sato and black reader stuff. (Swear I’m sick of going to school and people being like ya I can’t fuck with those black bitches and me being freaking right there🙄.) also like it’s just great reading reader shit and the reader just actually feels like you race wise or body wise because writing just needs inclusivity in general no matter what it is.
i most definitely am, side note same goes for hobie too. the thing is tho, i need someone to request or else i get an ask like this i think of smthn and it stays in the drafts til it's done cooking.
like i saw this and thought about exploring brat ken? ya know the ego, the baseball legend? x a black reader who's from the states and visits tokyo roughly the same time he returns home and it's like toxic but gets better?? like friends w/ benefits to genuine friends to lovers, maybe even rivals in fame, specifically modeling? ive explored it before just never got around to an actual plot or reasonable flow.
but yes, i definitely write for all of my men still. they are my harem, and this blog is a bit self serving when i don't have requests (which are open btw)
#.。*dingdong💌━♡#i'll get to it non. just gimme some time.#also tysm!! i swear i didn't think my writing was doing it right or enough but this helped and put a smile on my face.

Do you feel like Marcia had a favorite among the kids? I wanna say it was Roman, because until the Kerry thing, he didn't cause her any problems with Logan and just acted the charming jester around her (greeting her warmly with a kiss in Tern Haven). Connor would be my second guess for also not bringing any drama, but I do get the feeling she thinks he's a buffoon and so maybe he's too embarrassing to be her favorite.
If she did have a favourite I think it was Kendall to be honest. While he did give her problems, he is also the only child she has displayed genuine empathy towards. “You’re a nice boy, but out of hard times comes strong men” and I think it’s because as someone who is clearly adoring and hyper protective of her own children. While she is self/her family serving first, I can imagine seeing Logan throw his son to the dogs made her think of her own son Amir. How horrid it is for a parent to do that to a child. Something she’d never do to her own son. Maybe a part of her imagined that happening to her son and she felt bad for Ken. Yes I do know she later kinda suggested to Logan to bring up Ken’s murder situation, but that’s Marcia being Marcia. Practical as ever. Point is she tried to give him tough but REAL advice. Advice that she herself clearly takes. Making the most of hard times.
So while I don’t even know if she has a favourite, probably sees them all as profoundly spoiled and deeply unworthy of it. And feels those resources would be better spent on her kids, she is clearly the most empathetic to Ken.
i do think she’s largely pretty chill w Roman too tho. She doesn’t rlly start problems w ppl. Lmao.

thought about it for a while and the faux patriarchy arc in barbie does nothing but be a heavy handed overtired joke which only serves to give the audience A few Laughs™️ buts its very funny how like. barbieland is fake. its all an idea, a line directly from the movie. so when they defeat the ken’s patriarchy in the movie, it has no impact on the REAL world, really. the irl world is still under a patriarchy at the beginning, middle at end of the movie. so when barbie leaves to become a real human to live in the real world, she’s literally downgraded to be oppressed like every other woman in the world. but cool gyno joke at the end tho #comedy #feminism #mattel #buyourdoll #ryangoslingforbestsupportingactor

it is genuinely crazy that ppl are complaining about the barbie movie being anti-man tho because it is so clearly not 😭 the kens start the movie having absolutely no independence or autonomy and the movie ends with them being encouraged to pursue their own interests and lives outside of how they can serve barbie . the patriarchy is shown to be just as detrimental to them as it is to the barbies and the good ending is Not them returning to subservience !! like sure masculinity is satirized to a slightly greater extent than femininity is in the movie but femininity is almost never taken seriously in any piece of media so if the two were to be equally satirized it would end up being inherently unequal . like. this is a very compassionate movie towards men lmfao

Since I don’t know much about it, how about Tokyo Ghoul for the fandom part of the ask game?
Ohoo :3 many thanks!
001 | Send me a fandom and I will tell you my:
Favorite character:
Donato Porpora (as if there's anyone who doesn't know that by now..)
He is soo!! He's sadistic bastard yet still a loving dad, he's the most powerful non kakuja ghoul around, he is so so extremely smart, he's in jail and holding the very people that hold him captive by the balls and still avoided being executed even after 15 years. He is Everything, I love him sooo much and he is My Dad.
Least Favorite character:
I used to have this group of characters I disliked that I called the T Gang and they were Torso, Tsuneyoshi, Tokage and Touka but I actually love the first 3 and og Touka (still hate her :re self), so that's no longer applicable lmao. If I have to choose, it's probably between King and :re Touka.
King is one Kaneki's alters, from about the middle of :re on. He is one insufferable, self righteous, hypocritical, egoistic bastard that no longer serves any purpose in the plot apart from. you know. being there. He's an asshole to his people and even more to his friends. He looks at the horrors and says "I have the power to stop them but eeeeh why should I. Let's stop the only person who's trying, instead!" I hate him as a person and as a character.
As for Touka, I still like her in og, she's amazing, she's driven and she's strong with a strong character with a dream and a goal. And in :re?? She's reduced to Sad Housewife- oh wait no look she switched to Abusive Housewife- oh wait look she switched to Sexual Harasser But Makes It ~Sexy~ Housewife- oh look at that she's being written out of the story after she got married and knocked out. Damn who could have predicted that.
In Touka's case, it's mostly a case of Writers Hate Women, though, so I'll say King is my ultimate least favorite.
5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon):
Utaren (Uta/Yomo Renji) - my all time OTQP
Matsurie (Washuu Matsuri/Urie Kuki) - I love you power imbalance, I love you D/S relationships, I love you one-sided love, I love you willfully becoming another man's dog, I love you closeted flamboyant men of high social status with a hidden identity that could be made disappeared by their own family in the event of disappointment
Shuuneki (Tsukiyama Shuu/Kaneki Ken) - I ship it exclusively if it's og Kaneki (either Kuroneki or Shironeki). Shuu deserves better than :re Kaneki.
Nishikimi (Nishio Nishiki/Nishino Kimi) - the only canon pairing that matters
Amoneki/Amonhaise (Amon Koutarou/Kaneki Ken or Sasaki Haise) - platonic/soft-romo
Bonus: Maruchika (Marude Itsuki/Washuu Yoshitoki) - lowkey but painfully
I'll take this occasion to show one of my favorite Shuuneki illustration
Character I find most attractive:
In very different categories, I'll mention 2: Yoshitoki (very dad-like charm) and Tsukiyama Shuu (World's Prettiest Boy)
Character I would marry:
Shuu, pretty, rich and very kind what more could you want? I'd let him eat me any day
Character I would be best friends with:
One I would want to be bffs with is Amon Koutarou, one I would actually get along with would be Hori Chie lmao. I wanted to say Saiko but that could only work as online friends I think.
A random thought:
I don't like the revisionist history that Shuu always had teal hair and that the purple was an anime invention. The below illustration is from 2013, so before the anime. Ishida drew him with purple hair on more than one occasion, another one being the Past novel cover.
An unpopular opinion:
Donato should have been the One-Eyed King and Kanou did more for society than Kaneki ever will
My Canon OTP:
That'd be Nishikimi. They're so Ride or Die hhhhhh 💕
My Non-canon OTP:
OTQP but Utaren (tho the "non-canon" aspect is debatable in the QP department) I wanted to find a 2nd choice, so i'd have an actual romantic ship but none of my ships is romantic??? I'd consider none of them to be OTP. Only Utaren qualifies, so Utaren it is.
Most Badass Character:
Donato
Honorable mention to Tatara, Uta and Kurona (and half the cast *ahem*)
Most Epic Villain:
MY BABY MY DARLING MY SWEETIE SOUTA/FURUTA NIMURA/WASHUU KICHIMURA/MR. PG/WHATEVER ELSE HE GOES BY!!!!!!!
He is so good!! he is such a good character, such a good villain! he is so smart so destructive so depressed so suicidal so ruthless so manipulative he is everything one could wish for in a villain and antagonist AND he moves the plot more than the supposed protagonist like. So so epic!!
He's the best.
Pairing I am not a fan of:
so so many lmfao I'll mention T*uken tho and, hilariously enough (given the history of the fandom), H*dek*ne
Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another):
Touka, oh my fucking god. I mentioned why in the "least favorite character" bit but jfc.. jfc...
(also Amon in :re)
Favourite Friendship:
Uta and Renji win.
But because that's not fair given they're also my OTP, I'll also mention the 4th ward gang (Uta, Yomo Renji, Itori), Shuu and Hori Chie, Urie and Saiko, and one purely from my brain, Saiko and Amon Koutarou
Character I most identify with:
Picture a mix of Urie Kuki and Yonebayashi Saiko
Character I wish I could be:
Haisaki 🥰
(oh to be brutally killed by Donato...)
(but for real, everyone's life sucks major time in TG so no thanks. i want Uta's gender tho.)

How Our Parents Thought We Played With Barbies Vs. How We Actually Did TikTok Trend
I resonate with this in a way so deep that it's being studied by Astrophysics Barbie in Barbieland.
Usually, when I played with Barbies, my mom saw pretty normal things. Like weddings, ballet dance classes (where the darker skinned Barbie got bullied by her peers but was really the lost princess). Fairytopia had a crossover with Avatar: The Last Airbender where Jitterwing and the blue fairies were water benders, Elena was a fire bender because pink is just a lighter version of red, etc. The fairy princess became a mermaid and hung out with her aunt (who rocked a buzz cut and a crop top). At one point, my Barbie family had a strict night routine where they had to go to bed or they would be tired, and eight year old Amelia would feel bad.
When Mom was away, the dolls would go through hell. My Barbies lived through the apocalypse more than three times (usually represented by a basketball/meteor crashing down on them). They lived in a cabin as they learned to farm the land.
When it wasn't the ass end of days, it was a story of survival after a camping trip went wrong. Having to hunt down wild animals for food (but being questioned afterward by authorities for unethical hunting methods/ consumption).
My most tame story came in 8th grade, during the reign of G1 Monster High.
Skipper's a normal high school sophomore. She finally got on the cheerleading team and has a crush on the hottest guy in school (I think his name was Andy). Her dad just outed himself as gay, and he left for Retroville. Mom is no longer depressed but is so god damn angry. Barbie is coming home from college, and mom doesn't even bother her. Skipper's younger siblings (Kelly and Tommy) become their older sister's hyperfixation. As Mom tries dating and Barbie tries getting Ken to come visit her family, Skipper tries to keep up with the Cheer Squad (Since Juniors Draculaura, Frankie, and Clawdeen are serving lurks and striking fear in the hearts of expectation--fangs for the memories, Cleo; your anger paid off.)
I think the storyline ended when Dad had Skipper and the kids for the summer. They piled in the back of the yellow jeep from the Barbie Cali Girl Line, with Tommy and Kelly piled in the back storage cubby, Retroville in the distance...
My grandma watched the apocalypse storyline play out, tho. I guarantee that babysitting became a lot scarier for her when she realized that she lived in the same house as me.
