I need a pretty significant degree of commonality (both subjective and objective) between characters to ship them and I think that's why it's so hard to find f/f ships that draw me in. It's like people making media want to create the polarity that would usually be there through gender by making these women so starkly different that I just become unable to connect.
#like theres always gotta be either super different personalities or an age gap#or a power imbalance or really different experiences values and circumstances and thats just not what im about#and this isnt to say i would like that type of media to disappear because i know a lot of people enjoy that contrast#im just saying i wish that wasnt sooo much of what we have#like nearly all of it#im saying this because i saw a gifset of portrait of a lady on fire which i love#and is one of the rare instances of wlw media where the romance itself really moved me#and i remembered the céline sciamma quote about how it was important to her to have them be#as equal as she could possibly make them down to the heights#and how thats probably why i was able to connect with it so much#and like i love Carol (2015) Dir. Todd Haynes but I don't ship Carol and Therese!#anyway this is my periodic complaint about the lack of f/f friends to lovers#but like real ones not like headcanon ones although even then for most this would still apply!#ramblings#i could say a lot about how this doesnt plague m/m nearly as much and how it all circles back to misogyny but ill spare myself#but heres the thing ill still go ahead and check out anything with lesbians in it and support it and enjoy it in different ways#so this is not an excuse as to why im not contributing to wlw because i AM out there constantly searching#lest anyone think im doing a thing i hate which is people making up excuses not to care about women

screamin bout zi-o 36
i had fun doing this last week, so letâs make another screencap post! of course, i said that, and then it took several days to upload all the pictures because tumblr just stops fucking working sometimes. anyhoo! itâs yuko kitajima roast hour. image-heavy and spoiler-heavy, naturally.
so ginga blew everyone up and they ran away to a sewer it seems.
honestly that theory makes as much sense as anything else on this booty ass fuckinâ kamen rider show
i was just like...he isnât
but then he was
swartz: she could step on me in those red pumps and iâd say Thank You
hora: i regret so much right now
uhr: *shonen anime character walking down the street pose*
then over quartzer plays and im starting to feel a little lost because i donât get to hear about the episode according to wozâs book? hello??
yukoâs still out gettin her spa treatments and shit, god only knows how she got the money for all that, and somehow she never crosses paths with the cops or anyone who recognizes her from the news?? uh
honestly yeah?? a queen deserves to look GOOD. her theme music is eerily sexy, i need an mp3 of it right now
donât get me wrong, im well aware that swartz is being a suck-up to try and get yuko to help with his plan to seize gingaâs power, but damn im kinda shipping swartz with yuko now too...i mean, he WAS looking at her while doing the sexy ice cream thing last week. what flavor ice cream would yuko be? black cherry chip maybe?
(headcanon: woz tries apple pie ice cream and declares it a crime against both apple pie and ice cream alike--but he still eats the whole coneful)
hora and uhr get ZA WARUDOâD down the stairs by swartz
we were all uhr right here
yeaaaaaah she just doesnât want to fight ginga
tsukuyomiâs a mood. someone put a band-aid on geizâs forehead pls
ok woz i get that if youâre looking for a despotic ruler to follow that yuko is likely a better bet than sougo, but youâre missing an important detail: if yuko actually had a shot at becoming queen of everything, sheâd already have one of you in tow, and you would most likely hate each other.
...majou means âdemon queenâ in this case, not âwitchâ, right?
aaaaaand this...is the moment when yuko started making me very uncomfortable. the way she responds: âyes...i do remember. itâs you.â
and sougoâs face just lights up--my guy, she could so easily be lying. she didnât say one thing about the band-aid or the playground or anything thatâd indicate sheâs actually sougoâs crush.
like...if not for the fact that sougo had such a crush on the seifuku girl, it wouldnât be all that major a memory. it likely wasnât for the girl in question--just a happy sunny day cheering up a lonely little boy. a beautiful memory, yes...but memories fade.
can someone please explain to me why wozâs characterization is all over the place in kiva arc? are you pro-yuko or anti-yuko, woz? i donât understand whatâs going through his pretty head at all honestly. he gets pretty taciturn in the scenes heâs not inhaling pie, but then at times he seems to think yukoâs cool aaaaaagh i donât know
junichiro: meowing, just wanted an excuse to cook lots of food
sougo:Â âyay, uncleâs cooking!â
woz: [deadpan monotone]Â âyaaaaaaay uncleâs cooking...â
ive had enough of this evil bitch honestly but when she points itâs still Good Shit
ridiculous move name, but also an awesome move name
and turning to stone to heal up while the sunâs clouded over? very cool
denied
i noped so hard at this part. like...i really do feel protective of sougo. yuko doesnât give a damn about him, she just doesnât want him to get in her way.
nope. no. nuh uh. you two step away from each other right now.
YOU CANNOT MAKE BABIES WITH AN IDIOT FETUS
ok but in all seriousness, do you want time jackers? because, im calling it now, letting oma zi-o go in raw is how you get time jackers.
yeah im pretty sure miho wouldâve kept at it if sheâd lived, and yuko...shes not gonna listen to sougo
thank you for the much needed reality check furry man
so sheâs a...fu-joshi? đ
âââ
yuko wears such fabulous shoes
was anyone surprised at this point that yuko was the real killer? i sure wasnât. not after all the obvious lies.
i love her leitmotif. i need it. where do i download
SHE DIDNâT PROMISE SHIT
hey kids! itâs time for *mashes play button* la-la-la lies! yeah, tell me that you love me! la-la-la-lies! look deep into my eyes! la-la-la-lies! say thereâs no one else above me! iâm the king of fools, cuz baby, youâre the queen of actually very hurtful and manipulative lies!
thatâs such bullshit
now im the last person to be like âdonât play the dead mommy cardâ--i practically keep that card in the hello kitty wallet my dead mommy gave me. but i bet you yukoâs mom is just fine (aside from living with the trauma of knowing her daughterâs a murderer and pathological liar).
sougo,,,,,pls
thank you tsukuyomi. god sougo really needs a chaperone with yuko around, heâs way too dumb and thirsty.
GUESS WHOâS BACK. BACK AGAIN. fortunately, it seems swartz and woz have been just standing there watching him for the duration of the rain shower.
lest we forget (because i didnât screencap it), when zi-o took the brunt of gingaâs attack earlier, it sent him flying. now, thatâs a human body, which has some ability to absorb force because itâs mostly pretty soft and fluid. yukoâs manhole cover almost completely absorbed this blast--she barely shifted her weight on impact. is it just that sheâs THAT ripped?Â
then The Boys rider kick ginga to oblivion. rip ginga, you didnât have a personality or a character arc, we never even saw you un-transformed--you were just a cool looking plot device with pretty attacks. but for that much, we appreciate you!
swartz looks so pleased with himself. he must not have watched the preview for this episode.
YOINK! gotta love how swartz doesnât look surprised so much as puzzled.
sure am glad kurowoz took his other selfâs advice and kept an eye on swartz
i love it so much how woz just has these magic scarf powers and it needs no explanation? hell, he can fly and time travel and make people fall asleep and heâs super strong too, with no explanation? and heâs the comic relief? ALSO HEâS REALLY HOT? woz is a being to behold honestly
speaking of super strong and really hot, yuko is KILLING IT in that gown. i mean...i guess thatâs the intention. killing it. cuz sheâs a homicidal maniac. haha.
sheâs so good at pointing. yuko could be a prosecutor in shuichi kitaoka: ace attorney. (FUND IT)
yuko throws her manhole cover at the boys (rude!) and next we see geiz holding it. a shame we donât get to see him snatch it out of midair. or did woz catch it and just hand it to him? we may never know.
zi-o. listen to geiz, zi-o. use the fucking watch. just use the watch, zi-o. you seriously plan on just letting another kiva go on a killing spree? do you not get by now what sheâs capable of?
thank goodness zi-o has his retainers to make wise decisions so he doesnât have to.
please note the placement of mars on ginga wozâs suit. very important.
I Love You
lmao
WHERE IS YOUR MANHOLE COVER NOW
my favorite character gets a beautiful rainbow final attack. i feel so blessed.
i mean...protecting all mankind would probably include protecting them from people like yuko. just sayin.
is it bad of me that my immediate thought right then was âat least wozâs attack wasnât what did her in.â
this shot, especially in the context of the church, definitely gave me pieta vibes--albeit reversed somewhat.
weirdly enough, woz does an outro instead of an intro this episode.
at this point while watching, i said to shylax âyou know what this calls for? pie!â but before i could finish--
--PIE! cmon sougo, itâs time to gobble up your feelings!
fucking woz, i swear, you have pie in your mouth and pie in your right hand and pie on your FACE and when your overlord expresses how miserable he is you just go for his uneaten pie with your empty hand.
...is it normal to eat pie like this in japan? because the only times iâve seen americans make this much of a mess eating pie is when theyâre toddlers.
oh hey, what do you know? looks like sougoâs first love wasnât a violent crazy person after all. she also wasnât yuko.
sougoâs just an idiot who will mistake any older woman who rubs him on the chin and calls him cute for his sailor girl.
previews!
i blame joshua kiryu
how eloquently this one line sums up not only kamen rider zi-o but kamen rider decade as well. thatâs it, thatâs the show. thatâs the clusterfuck we will inevitably get whenever toei decides to make a kamen rider crossover.
LOOK AT THIS! TSUKUYOMI REMEMBERED SOMETHING! who is she smiling at? is it her dad? is that swartz behind her?! omg baby tsukuyomi is so CUTE!
âa teamâ. uh huh. is that what the youth are calling it these days? cuz when i was a wee lass, i believe they called it âfuckingâ.
so what have we learned this week?
very little about ginga
sougo does not remember faces all that well
before sougo dates ANYONEÂ that person should be fully vetted by junichiro, geiz, tsukuyomi, and woz because CLEARLY HE CANNOT SAFELY CHOOSE A PARTNER FOR HIMSELF
i still really like yuko as a character, if not as a person. same as i enjoy junji ito manga, but would be very upset if most of it happened in real life.
swartz loves a woman who can kick his ass
what the fuck are manhole covers in this world
i canât wait for baby tsukuyomi flashbacks! that, and more tsukasa.

You know, I'm not a drama person, I don't like it, but it came up on my dash so much that I kind of had to read it. All of that nonsense could've been avoided if you didn't even take it to the public. Judging people for THEIR characters that THEY made and can do WHATEVER the hell they want with them? Oh woo ho good job, you're so popular for taking the "barrage" of it. No. all it did was prove that you're a D-bag and I've got a nice, long list of people to block now and avoid contact with.
Okay, anon. I havenât bothered setting the record straight with most of this shit, because I know folks like you will continue to believe what you want to believe and hear what you want to hear, just like youâre doing now. But Iâll bite. Youâd think all of you getting onto your soapbox about how you shouldnât judge or attack others wouldnât keep talking shit about a situation you know nothing about and/or are terribly misinformed about. So Iâll enlighten you with what actually happened.
A while back, the person in question got into an argument with some people on the RPC, trying to tell them that their interpretation of the lore was wrong. Rather than leaving it at that, when he effectively got shut down there, he proceeded to take a screenshot of the conversation and post it on his tumblr, complete with a rant about the people who disagreed with him, their opinions are so wrong and awful, how dare they disagree with him, etc. essentially playing the victim when he was the one to try to badger them for their opinions in the first place. He also left their names, icons, signatures, etc. in full view.I responded and told him he probably shouldnât be trying to harass any other people about the lore considering his own character concept (thus, you would think, making my opinion on his character pretty clear). Why? Because itâs fucking true.I donât give a shit about the lore or whether anyone follows it. Probably every single one of my own characters at least bends the lore. But at least have the self-awareness and respect for your fellow role-players to say âyeah, my character breaks the loreâ or not get your jimmies rustled every time someone says âoh, yeah, his character is lore breaking.â You wanna break the lore? Cool. Own up to it. And if you do break the lore, donât try to force everyone else into following itâespecially when you canât even admit you break lore and instead stretch the lore to try so hard to justify your entirely lore-breaking character concept. Donât try to heckle people for presumably doing what you do but wonât admit. Granted, these people werenât even breaking lore anyway, which makes his insistence that they were even more ridiculous.So after some excuses about how he was trying to start some intellectual discussion or something and not just drag these people despite featuring their identities and primarily just complaining about them throughout the post, he admitted he should have at least edited out their names and apologized. Great! Youâd think that should be the end of it. I didnât have anything against him at that point, but also had no desire/reason to associate with him, so I didnât. A couple months go by. Some post comes across my dash. A girl in the community is doxxing her online ex-boyfriend in a callout post about him for unexpectedly breaking up with her because she âthinksâ he was lying to her about serious issues and âbelievesâ he was cheating on her. Because Iâm a loud and opinionated person, and because thatâs some heinous thing to do, I spoke out against it (via a post on my own blog without naming names, mind you, because Iâm not going to hijack someone elseâs post with negativity or call them out by name). The girl found it, assumed it was about herself, flipped out, and then of course I was the bad guy for saying doxxing isnât okay. And then the person in question joins in. Not even to discuss the topic at hand, but to dredge up the old drama about how I was so mean to him and he did nothing wrong, etc. A pretty crappy 180 turn for a person who apologized and made it seem like there were no hard feelings, but whatever. Someone saw that he obviously didnât like me, and seized the chance to try to talk shit and spread rumors because they knew heâd give them the platform. They sent him some anon about how I hate women (lmao). And of course, he published it, with no skepticism or disagreement, only more commentary about how Iâm mean and awful. I went to respond, only to find myself blocked. So I went on about my life because itâs not that big of a deal, but hey. The moment you talk shit about me, especially in a venue where I canât respond, especially facilitating some lies and BS rumors, especially after leading me to believe weâd made amendsâyou arenât off limits. You donât get spared niceness and politeness. Is that mean and petty? Probably.ÂŻ\_(ă)_/ÂŻ Iâve never claimed to be a nice person.Now, to the horrible, awful thing I did to make this âpublic.â Fast forward to yesterday. Iâd kept my mouth shut and left him alone. In a section of the RPC that doesnât get a ton of traffic, largely because you have to make an account on the website and then manually opt in to this specific forum, several of us were discussing an absolutely awful person which is an unrelated story I wonât get into. Someone asked something along the lines of, âAre you guys talking about Underaged Looking Allagan Voidsent Chimera Demon Guy?â I responded with basically âNo, weâre not talking about Underaged Looking Allagan Voidsent Chimera Demon Guy.â And that was it. We moved on with the conversation because he wasnât who weâd been talking about. His name, tumblr, server info, in game race, class, etc. was all never given. No identifiable information beyond a very brief and tongue-in-cheek description of his RP character comprised of words taken directly from his own wiki, tumblr info, talk of his own character and RP posts.Someone saw the conversation, and based on our intentionally shitty description, was able to accurately guess who we were talking about and send him an anon to tell him about it. Youâd think that would be pretty telling about his own RP, and this anonâs interpretation of it. He answered the anon in a long rant about me that featured both my in game name and my tumblr handle. In case you need me to spell this out for you, he went public with it first. Iâll also remind you that I was blocked, so I wasnât/couldnât be following him, and I was not properly @tagged in this rant, so I never would have seen it unless someone told/linked me, or someone I follow eventually reblogged it. And I honestly canât imagine the level of narcissism it takes to write a long personal post full of wangst and victim-playing every time you hear a person had something negative to say about you or your RP character (not even by nameâand by picking words from his own descriptions of his character), especially a person you have had issues with in the past and who you openly shit-talked yourself prior. Who does that? Lord knows my blog would be overflowing. Not everyone will like you, especially not people you jabbed at first. Especially not with an off the wall RP concept. Especially not with you trying to pass that concept is lore abiding and just âunusual.â Especially not with you trying to tell other people theyâre âwrongâ about the lore. Especially not with your character being a squicky, walking fetish and immortal jailbait. And thatâs not even touching other things people have told me about this person that rubbed them the wrong way. Move on with your life.However, I found out about the post thanks to the OP himself when he unblocked me just to send me the link to the post and then before I could even read/respond to the post, sent me a barrage of IMâs still playing the innocent victim which is grating enough on its own but also included him straight up lying about ever posting/saying anything about me, insisting heâd done nothing to me, had nothing against me, this was so out of the blue and uncalled for, etc. When I pointed out this wasnât the case, that I had seen and read the posts firsthand because blocking me doesnât prevent me from seeing his posts, he began to lie instead about the contents of said posts and pulled some gaslighting bullshit about how I had just âmisreadâ them, all the while either willfully or coincidentally not seeming to understand anything I said to him (I mentioned him publishing the anon about how I hate women at least twice and the response was always âI never said you hate women!!â Well no shit). He kept insisting that I had âgone behind his backâ and that if I had a problem I should âsay it to his faceâ despite the fact heâd had me blocked and that Iâm not a douchey enough person to try to contact him despite that, and despite the fact that he had âgone behind my backâ and not âsaid it to my faceâ twice now prior, and had done just that with his post about the folks from the RPC as well.He also insisted that the tumblr post was meant just to innocently âbring the issue to my attention to clear things upâ despite me having no way to see it on my own unless by coincidence, and despite him proving to be willing and able to send me IMâs instead, which youâd think could render the need for a public post moot. When I pointed this out, he promptly deleted the post, lest anyone else see through his bullshit to what he was really trying to do.After my initial response to his wall of IMâs, he sent another wall this time with more insults and accusations, and promptly blocked me so I couldnât respond. So yes, I made a vaguepost, I know, how awful, how dare I. A vague post vague enough that only someone who had seen his post, or who heard about it from him otherwise, would know who and what it was referencing. Until he responded to it himself, that is and unblocked me again to send me more angry messages to which I responded by permanently blocking him instead because this game of blocking and unblocking sure was getting old.Cue his charming friends sweeping in to tell me to eat a dick, making false accusations against my RP partner and I, sending me threats on Discord, telling people I flashed my breasts for money, etc. And the other person? The one who brought him up in the first place who I had only been responding to? Whose name he was given, was aired in the same public post on his blog as mine? As far as I know, she hasnât gotten any hate, probably not a single message. And Iâm glad, because she shouldnât get any, she doesnât deserve it. But at the same time, sure seems sketchy that the person who did the same exact thing as meâand who did it firstâhas not provoked anyoneâs ire, not even been messaged. The public post in reply to the anon who named her, even, was aimed 100% at me. Now isnât that funny. Itâs almost like this was an excuse for people who already had beef with me to try to take shots at me and pretend it was justified. Itâs almost like all you anon keyboard warriors donât even know how this started or what actually happened.And now Iâm going to talk about something else. You cannot do âwhatever the hell you wantâ with your character. RP is a two-way (or more) street. There is a real person behind each and every character. These people are looking for fun just like you, and are every bit as deserving, and your fun shouldnât impede on theirs. We are all allowed equal parts of fun.So when people play their weird ass lolicon/shotacon/pedobait characters, who is having fun? What if the other person in the RP was sexually abused as a child and youâre dredging up terrible old memories for them and making light of their pain? What if theyâre a parent worried for their child, or worse, the parent of a child whoâs already been abused? What if theyâre an actual pedophile and seeing you RP this is tempting them, making them think theyâre desires are normal and okay? Hell, what if theyâre a goddamn ordinary person who finds it creepy and uncomfortable?What if the fetishized, futa ERP avatar is interacting with someone who is trans or nonbinary or intersex IRL? What if itâs triggering them (in the genuine, real sense of the word)? What if the walking affront against the lore character talking about being an Voidsent Half-Primal Garlean Spy in the middle of the Quicksand is ruining everyoneâs immersionâparticularly when they refuse to play along as others respond realistically IC and try to kill them or arrest them or kick them out? What if the OP af infinitely-stronger-than-everyone-else-around-him character is making the RP unfun for every other RPer involved because their characters canât do anything but get beaten up or bow to his whims unless they stoop to godmodding or suddenly beefing up their own character?People can and will judge your character. Those judgments are usually best left kept themselves or quietly shared between trustworthy friends. But when your character trespasses on the OOC fun of the role-players around you? Sorry, my guy, people have every right to speak up. And all this nonsense? All this nonsense was a small handful of people who were already pretty nasty showing their true colors and getting told to pipe the fuck down. A pretty good outcome, if you ask me. So, please, block me, anon. My life will be better without idiots like you in it, and the same probably goes for anyone else you intend to block. Your nameless, ignorant, anonymous presence will not be missedâor noticed, for that matter.
