#literally me w/ my df

[yuikomorii]

Ayato is slowly turning into the new “Yui” (she still gets hate too but yk less than other years) of the Diabolik Lovers fandom and I really thought the fandom was healing -jokes on me-

The way they complain about Ayato being too caring now inducing that he’s turning into a simp reminds me of the same people who complained about Yui for not fighting back and calling her weak for that. Let’s just let everyone enjoy whatever characters they want WITHOUT TRYING TO RUIN THEIR FUN ‼️

Also, why did Ayato even get so hated anyway? He was always one of the least horrible ones and right now, after all his development, I don’t find anything so unlikeable about him. He tries to see the good in others despite having such a past full of suffering. If I hear anyone say “because he’s too caring/dumb/immature” I will riot because why would it be bad to be caring with your girlfriend? He isn’t even as immature as people say. Isn’t this the same guy who took responsibility for things that were none of his business but he did so just to help others?

And don’t get me started on the fact he isn’t dumb at all. He’s an idiot because he’s uneducated but his brain power is above average. I played Reiji’s route awhile now and there was this chapter where Reiji helped Yui study for her math test but only after a timeskip she managed to get a right result while in Ayato’s after story, there was the same scene but with different characters and Ayato was able to learn very fast after Yui explained to him and even she found that amazing about him because he started getting all answers right. After I got interested in young blood, I came to the conclusion that he was the only Sakamaki brother who found something suspicious about the ceremony and planned to investigate it. I recall a few other moments but I’m curious to hear if you got a favourite one.

I hope this ask wasn’t too long ;w; I tried to fit my thoughts in but it’s ok if you don’t have time to answer it soon ^^

// So many languages in this word, but you decided to speak FACTS!

The reasons why some people start hating on certain characters, are incredibly embarrassing. Just tell me you didn’t pay attention to the story, without actually telling me that you didn’t pay attention to the story.

They had previously complained about him being too bratty and arrogant, but now that his true side has been revealed, they are still dissatisfied since he is not the "edgy and complex" vampire boyfriend they wanted him to be. Do you like such characters? Good for you but only because you have a preference towards those, doesn’t mean you should tell others how much their bias sucks… it’s just so uncalled??

As you said, something I have always found admirable about Ayato is his ability to be pure-hearted, despite his background. I can’t say anyone got much love yet… Beatrix was strict but she canonically loved both of her children, Christa was mentally ill and had her crazy episodes but it was shown that she still loved and cared for Subaru, and then there’s Cordelia, who truly didn’t show or feel any sort of love towards any of her children. In DF, I’m sure she regretted her actions but saying that she loved Ayato, Kanato and Laito would be an exaggeration. It’s no surprise that the triplets turned out so twisted when they didn’t get a taste of affection or kindness AT ALL. And Ayato’s side goes beyond that, since he literally was the piñata of so many characters.

In YB, he was used as bait, betrayed, and brutally knocked down by ghouls, as well as beaten up to the point of almost getting killed.

In Ayato’s character book, it was confirmed that Cordelia threw him in the lake every time he didn’t study. He had several near-death experiences as a result of her, and she frequently whipped and beat him up.

In the DF prologue, Carla and Shin sent the wolves to especially attack Ayato, not Yui, but Ayato thought they were going after her, so he sacrificed himself for her and used himself as shield so as she wouldn’t get hurt. He got severely injured that in some routes it takes a lot of time until he wakes up from the coma.

In Kino’s LE route, he burns Ayato alive and beats him up afterwards.

Last but not least, he got the Adam curse when he was a child and that’s so painful because it basically means drowning in a state of despair and insanity, until getting to taste something similar to that fig.

final YB chapter

Didn’t count the emotional and mental abuse but the physical one was INSANE. Despite so much torture, even if some of his actions were wrong too, most of the time he continued to value his life and to be empathetic and forgiving to those who mistreated him.

Let's not forget that we're talking about vampires here, who will always be more wicked than humans because, although not inherently evil, they still have a predator instinct, but what's truly fascinating about Ayato's character is that he has such a good soul in spite of learning from an early age that there is no kindness in this world. It's no surprise that Karlheinz was taken aback.

Moreover, I thought everyone was aware that Ayato isn’t actually stupid?? A bunch of his dumb moments are merely used for generating laughter and they’re not meant to be taken seriously. People also need to understand that the Japanese audience loves this kind of characters. They consider him an idiot in the affectionate way, because the lack of knowledge and gullibility make him endearing in their eyes. They don’t think of him as a genuine idiot. After all, nobody would like a character who’s completely dense.

It’s true that he’s impulsive and uneducated, which leads to him making dumb choices but I agree that his brain works faster sometimes than the one of other characters.

One of my favorite scenes is the one in which he eavesdropped on Cordelia, hearing that she only gave Karl children for attention, and he was the only Sakamaki who rapidly succeeded in connecting all of the dots, regarding all of Karl's victims and him being the root of all evil, which was the best revelation reaction in DL. I also enjoyed how, while all of his brothers rushed to kill Karlheinz (except for Laito, who had no battle scene in his route), Ayato was the only one who was like, "I won't kill you because I'd lead your plan to success in that case," and he only killed him after Karl wanted to harm Yui. If you haven't played DF, I recommend saving Ayato's route for last because it provides the most satisfaction.

Don't be concerned about the length! I believe I wrote a lot as well haha, but that's because your ask was so interesting to read! You made some excellent points, and I'm glad you're one of those people that can comprehend a character! 🥹🩷

[mleprae]

Idk just my opinion but i don’t think liking maple is problematic, it’s more when people are like “uwu queen totally loves all the babies. UwU we Stan an a*used mother.” I think people have more of a problem with mapleshade apologists that think every other cat in her book should be in the df, than people who like her and think she makes a fairly good villain. W/ thistleclaw, some who like him tend to disregard spottedleafs heart as canon.

this is an old anon but I have a lot of thoughts about mapleshade (she is my favorite character after all)

warrior cats has kind of an illiteracy problem imo and like its not a bad thing at all because its a book for literal kids, in a more adult setting i think we would be discussing more about the story themes and character beats than to argue if liking mapleshade is moral

everyone in that novella sucks, and thats why its SO good to me!!! everyone is a fucking asshole! its what it should be!

but if we are going to argue about mapleshade morality- i think people are quick to excuse bluestar's actions due to her paranoias and metal turmoil being just something as 'she was not in her right mind' which is like fine really

but people arent willing to extend that same treatment to mapleshade, who was also going through alot of psychological stress- she was hallucinating her kids who just died in front of her that if she did not avenge them they would GO TO HELL, its easier to sympathise with bluestar because we get to see what she was like before her fall and we didnt get that with mapleshade, but i think this should be a point more touched upon

[trash-bats]

I don't often share messy art WIP's, but this is a bit of an ambitious piece I'm nervous about & could maybe use some input from my DF followers over here.

A couple weeks ago, I started what was supposed to be a simple "Trash Bat" illustration of Davey. Instead of just putting some generic trash can or dumpster in the scene, I got the idea to cover a landfill in a bunch of easter eggs. This ranges from old & new merch, references to music videos, old gig posters and ticket stubs, and more obscure things like a page of "Unearthed: The Unused Lyrics of Davey Havok" from the Under the Rose magazines & Jade's iPod (RIP) with titles of unreleased songs on the screen.

The idea is like...yeah, this stuff will one day end up in a landfill, and maybe some of it is things the band don't relate to anymore or don't see the value in. But from the perspective of a fan lovingly filling this scene with these totems, this pile of "garbage" is more like a shrine. Many of us fans will still see the value in everything they've done, even the things they toss aside or that won't see the light of day. He's our Trash Bat, and his trash is our treasure.

I know it looks like a literal damn mess right now -- I'm going to go in with lineart and mess with the contrast more to make certain things pop and make things as detailed as I reasonably can. I originally intended the piece to be b&w, but I'm considering adding some color to help certain things in the pile be more recognizable. I'm also gonna swap out the Death of the Party shirt for the more general AFI skull shirt Davey has also worn during recent performances & do a bit more work with lighting/shadow.

I'm a very nervous artist who has often intimidated myself out of working on ambitious pieces, but this is a piece that has suddenly become important for me to get right. Words alone cannot capture how much this band means to me & for years I've wanted to do that passion justice through art, but feel like I haven't yet accomplished that. Last year was the first time I shared AFI fan art that I tagged Davey in on Insta, and getting a like from him - multiple times! - was pretty mind-blowing for me. I'm grateful for the support I received on those Havok Doll pieces, but I'm not particularly proud of them. While it was a fun concept for me, I feel like the doll idea was more successfully explored by people who can make actual real custom dolls, like Dolly Havok on Insta. I might still go back to it because I really did want to immortalize more of Davey's range of fashion over the years, but there's also so many other things I want to explore in art & with my love for AFI & related projects.

ANYWAYS, if you see this and have any recommendations for anything else that could be lovingly added to the trash pile or some constructive crit, please let me know! I want this piece to be a real love letter to the band's history, and I'm trying to represent as many eras as I can. I'm going to try taking my time with finishing this & bounce between this and other projects to try to avoid burnout (which I am QUITE prone to), but I'm excited to hopefully see this idea through & I hope others enjoy it.

Thoughts on Jing Liu quest?

AHAHAHAHA (negative connotation)

u came to the right person anon, i have a lot to say...

IT WASNT THAT GREAT..... at first i spent a whole night convincing myself it was a reasonable way for the story to go but they did dan heng WAY too dirty. idk why luofu writing is so SHIT but if the current scandal is true and an employee rly has been messing w the story just to mess w the female fans, it explains a lot 💀

there were parts i liked: the art + the fight scene was a banger + how jingliu points out dan heng fights exactly like dan feng. it emphasizes how, whether he likes it or not, there are some things dh has inherited from df and he cant escape that. his appearance, his spear, his bracer, the ribbon, his vidyadhara powers, etc etc... if it wasnt for df, dh wouldnt be who he is today-- thats the truth, and its something dh can grow to accept.

but holy FUCK. the way they handled everything else. dan heng's memories. jingliu's introduction and her motives. blade's characterization. THE PLOTHOLES. just....ITS KINDA ALL WRONG!!!!!

IN MY OPINION. dan heng's whole POINT is that he doesnt remember his past life/his "past". he considers those memories as "not his", and asserts himself as his own individual person without them. its IMPORTANT he doesnt remember anything + that he doesnt NEED to bc this way he contrasts march 7th and the trailblazer, who also dont have their past memories-- but those 2 WANT to remember, are actively trying to, and they DO consider their past memories/past life as part of "themselves". whereas dan heng runs from his past and tries to find his "true self" without it, march and trailblazer run towards theirs, trying to catch glimpses of their "true selves" through it.

SO THERE'S LITERALLY NO REASON HE HAS TO REMEMBER DAN FENG'S PAST. it completely messes up his character arc/the message his character is trying to send!! they backpedaled so hard on their stance towards dan heng... first it was "only u can determine who u are, no one else; the expectations others hold for u dont matter" and now its "u are him no matter what u do, these sins are yours". like WHAT???? jingliu's quest just made more people equate dan heng with dan feng when the story is SUPPOSED to emphasize that they r DIFFERENT PEOPLE💀💀💀💀

dan heng did decide to face dan feng's sins, but he's NOT a part of the quintet. he's a WHOLE NEW PERSON. so why was he invited as a part of the quintet, but bailu wasn't?? its like theyre saying bailu is a whole new person, but dan heng is still dan feng, WHICH GOES AGAINST HIS CHARACTER THEMES(i am silenced and forced to sit down) anyways imo if bailu didn't have to attend the worlds worst high school reunion, dan heng shouldn't have had to attend either!!!! THIS AINT HIS PROBLEM. DAN HENG GET BEHIND ME!!!!!!!!!

his convo with blade at the end was so ooc it killed me. like, a little walk with his past life's old friend, and suddenly he's willing to forgive blade's literal years of stalking and attacking him??? now hes willing to play along with the vengeance he spent his whole life insisting was directed at the wrong person???????? i only chose that option bc the one on top sounded so wimpy/out of place it also felt ooc to me 💀 he wouldnt show weakness to blade, but there's no way he'd be that accepting either. maybe 3 years later and x patches in, but not NOW...

and jingliu. ooooh girlie. JINGLIU. THEY DID HER SOOOO FUCKING DIRTY. she's a new character. casuals/people who dont dig through lore don't know anything abt her except that shes jingyuans teacher. so why is her INTRODUCTION a fucking CONCLUSION TO HER CHARACTER ARC???? shes already DONE wandering and finding an answer in her heart. shes already DONE deciding whether or not to keep running or face her past. now shes mourning for a PERSON WE DONT EVEN KNOW. we watch her get closure for her dead girlfriend. BUT SO WHAT??? WE DONT EVEN KNOW EITHER OF THEM!!! SEEING HER GET CLOSURE MEANS NOTHING TO US. ITS JUST AWKWARD. why was her INTRO her fucking CHARACTER ARC'S CONCLUSION!!!!!!! they should've made her quest like luocha's, where all we did was speculate and her real motives remained a mystery. then we couldve been spared from this shitfest!!!!

the difference in quality between belobog story and luofu story is insane!!!! like, just compare luka's quest to jinglius....hello??? its crazy how unsympathetic they made her. it was literally "tell not show" instead of "show not tell".

anyways im just upset at dan heng's treatment. like, this character has a clear message/direction they were going for, but jinglius quest kind of stomps all over it, and her quest was supposed to introduce her but her introduction flopped hard. she was so much cooler when we saw her during yanqings quest and she was half insane. its awkward to mourn for someone we dont even know and its awkward to watch someone we dont know mourn. and, ngl, it rly felt like they only added dan heng in there bc they want more ppl to care abt the quintet. that whole quest couldve been through jingliu's pov where the reunion only happened between blade, jingliu, and jingyuan, so why wasn't it??? as opposed to those three, dan heng already moved on from the past. it was awkward for dan heng and for the audience💀

tldr i had high expectations bc i thought hoyo cared abt the quintet but not only did it flop it also dragged dan heng's characterization through the mud

[chososhoeso2]

Saw another one of those Strawhat Pokemon type posts and I feel like nobody ever gets it quite right (according to me). So here's my take on what type(s) each strawhat would be and why:

Note: Some teams are built more for fighting only, whereas others have companion pokemon or Pokemon that have practical uses (like helping Sanji cook or helping Nami find treasure)

_____________________________________________

LUFFY:

-Pre Timeskip: Normal

-Post Timeskip: Fighting/Fire

-I know you would expect him to have a fighting type in Pre TS, but he was just a normal dude with a devil fruit back then

-He gained the fighting type after training with Rayleigh and becoming a master fighter and haki user

-The fire typing is because of moves like Red Hawk in which there is fire.

-The fire typing also has a weakness to water, just like all DF users (I know Luffy had this weakness pre TS, but he hadn't used fire type moves at that point)

Pokemon that I feel are similar to Luffy or would be on his team:

-Aipom (it's literally Luffy in Pokemon form)

-Lickitung (bc it can stretch its tongue)

-Staraptor with Fire tera type

-Pinsir (Luffy loves stag beetles)

-Monferno

-Litleo

_____________________________________________

ZORO: Steel/Dark

-Steel for swords

-Dark for his demonic aura when he uses moves like "Santoryu" and "Nine Sword Style: Ashura"

Zoro's team:

-Slaking (always napping like Zoro)

-Doublade

-Kingambit

-Ceruledge

-Lucario

-Scyther

_____________________________________________

SANJI: Fire/Fighting

-Fire for all of his fire moves

-Fighting for his kicking

Sanji's team:

-Blaziken (it's literally Sanji)

-Hitmontop

-Munchlax (it'd be a perfect taste tester)

-Bounsweet (sweat is used as a syrupy sweetener)

-Arboliva

-Inteleon (for stealth black)

_____________________________________________

NAMI: Electric/Water

-Both electric and water because of weather abilities with the batons and weather eggs

Nami's team:

-Chinchou

-Castform

-Sableye (loves gems, just like Nami)

-Meowth (Nami loves payday)

-Kecleon (blends in like her mirage)

-Toxel (I think she'd love her angry little baby)

-Bonus: Gimmighoul

_____________________________________________

USOPP:

-Pre Timeskip: Normal

-Post Timeskip: Grass/Poison

-Pre TS usopp was a great sharpshooter, but that was pretty much it

-After training with Heracles, he became proficient in using plants and poisons in his weapons

Usopp's team:

-Breloom

-Heracross (reminiscent of Heracles)

-Venusaur

-Scovillain

-Victreebel

-Smeargle (he's creative and made the jolly roger)

_____________________________________________

CHOPPER:

-Types: Fairy/Poison

-Mega Chopper: Fairy/Fighting

-Chopper is a fairy type because he's an adorable, good, little guy

-Base form chopper has poison type because of his proficiency with medicines

-Mega Chopper is just monster point. The poison type changes to fighting, because monster point is meant to be used for fighting, not healing.

Chopper's team:

-Swirlix (the cotton candy pokemon)

-Rotom (can change forms like w/rumble balls)

-Parasect (spores can be used for medicine)

-Stufful

-Pawmot

-Hoopa (confined=base; unbound=monster point)

_____________________________________________

ROBIN: Dark/Psychic

-Dark type because she's the Devil Child and has her demon form. She also has some pretty dark thoughts/comments and a very dark past.

-Psychic type because she's brilliant, has a ton of background knowledge, and is great at using that knowledge for planning or trickery

Robin's team:

-Absol (the disaster Pokemon)

-Sneasel

-Morgrem

-Umbreon

-Mega Medicham

-Morpeko (reflects her cheerful/spooky demeanors)

-Bonus: Kangaskhan (it's her and chopper)

_____________________________________________

FRANKY: Steel/Electric

-He's a cyborg shipwright. Half his body is made of metal and runs on electricity fueled by cola.

Franky's team:

-Timburr (loves to help with construction projects)

-Magnemite

-Tinkaton

-Revavroom

-Meltan

-Klang

-Bonus: Nosepass (it has Franky's nose lmao)

_____________________________________________

BROOK: Ghost/Ice

-Ghost type because he's dead (yohoho)

-Ice type because he has ice type moves like "Chill of the Underworld"

Brook's team:

-Loudred (the big voice pokemon)

-Spiritomb (108 spirits? More like Soul King)

-Haunter

-Sinistea (Brook drinks tea during his debut)

-Skeledirge

-Mr. Rime

_____________________________________________

JINBE: Water/Fighting

-Water because he's a fishman

-Fighting because he's a master of fishman karate

Jinbe's team:

-Hariyama

-Dhelmise (Jinbe is the helmsman)

-Basculegion

-Urshifu: Rapid Strike Style (water variant)

-Grapploct

-Poliwrath

[disgruntleddemon]

I do not know if you still want to do the ship opinion thing, but if so, JuniperAnt or FireRaven

Oh i love both these ships!!

JuniperAnt my beloved. Ik they literally never interact in cannon, but i love em sm. Cats who're cannon to me lol. I still think they have a lot of fun potential, and i def plan on drawing them more sometime. They're on a double date w some df cats as we speak <33

Fireraven just has such a soft familiar vibe to it. Such a cozy ship. I honestly don't know how I'd want it to play out. Raven rejoining the clans, Fire leaving the clans, them being long distance, etc. I think there's lots of fun scenarios to do w it. Either way, I'm a sucker for these two. Also the folkin around map w em slaps!

[zwei-rhunen]

Not me starting off the night with like, 20k gil and ending it with 80k+ . W-what happened?? what did i miss, who slipped their wallet into my pants??? o.O 😭😂😂😂

Me seeing 20k gil after logging in: not bad! if I can find a level 40 jewelry vendor then i can staring gearing my PLD accessories. But actually lemme do the challenge log rq-

Runs roulette with friend, finishes and farewells, AFKs for irl stuff, returns

Me: lemme see who sells accessories at my level. I can probably just craft some if I really have to but I'd rather not T-T

Cursory googling says "lol get fucked, craft them, MB or suffer" 🥲👍

> okay fine, but is my craft job even high level enough lol?

>surprisingly, yes! I'm shocked tbh. But it's literally only bc ive been super on top of GC deliveries lately lol

> okay ig I'll start crafting/gathering things then (already dying on the inside thinking about it LMAO)

>how much monies do I have, anyway? Maybe I'll get lucky and i can just buy most of the mats.... one can hope...

>mfw 81,000 gil 👁👄👁 hot damn! where did that all come from???? Holy shit! And is it repeatable LMAO

>looking thru chat logs, ah. Apparently adventurer in need + roulette throws money at you like a nightclub worker, spectacular. Tanking keeps the lights on, apparently LMAO (and challenge log stuff too but it was mostly DF bonuses)

> okay cool but if I keep doing daily roulette then I'm gonna have to find me another gil sink FAST LMFAOO

I read that stacking up on high level dark matter clusters is one way to store value bc then u can just reclaim the gil via reselling them on MB later on 🤔 but I'd prefer to buy any collectibles I can get my hands on first if I can and then "invest" in dark matter later after i run out of high ticket items, aha.

Guess it's time to start back up on the beast tribe grind soon, so I can unlock another 120k mount option whenever its time to drain the bank again.... xD

Omg I forgot about the Coutinho thing. And, Asensio in Arsenal perhaps? Ancelotti GET IN THE BIN OLD MAN🔪

I'm choosing number 8 (Kovacic you're out) definitely not 9 since it's a cursed number there skisjavavwajjsjs. France in shambles, but maybe they'll allow some younger good players now... but yeah, it's wild. Omg the video you sent, what was the referee thinking... but ngl the way they all jumped each other looked funny as fuck

I like to think all the scums that got out will eventually join Prison League, but if they start playing like nothing happened 🔫🔫🔫🔫

I always torture myself by looking at food I cannot eat </3 Ateez are literally running away from me, I'm going to their country while they're going to my continent. What if we pass each other at the airport and I convince them I'm their new translator and go with them???

Ah got it, I understand the "pressure" of writing for someone else and wanting to try something different. But in the end people should write what they truly want and your heart is clearly with another guy... 😌 Jokes aside, hope you're not too stressed over it!

You forgot the name?! You're welcome then! Once in a while my brain remembers the song and goes "It's my scene, my scene, you know what I mean, It's my scene my scene" so I could never forget 😭

Most of the accents in Skins weren't really posh, but realistic! When you look at the cast of Skins it's mad, cause many of them went on to have big careers, Nicholas Hoult, Dev Patel, Kaya Scodelario, Daniel Kaluuya, Joe Cole (Peaky Blinders), some were on Game of Thrones too. Eh my accent is 📈📉📈 sometimes I sound Australian for no reason lmao, but it's somewhat Br'i'sh most of the time. Ooof what happened in the Ryan movie?

Well Dohwa is in high school, so it has to be Tasir, and he has money too </3 but Dohwa I wish you the best, the recent chapters were full of him, it's not good for my heart.....

Not Fake Love 😭 ok will do, but you need to stop leaving me blue balled for that villain fic!!!

Hwa is simply a beautiful and delicate Y/N that's why he needs no hand cream. And he dared to say his skin isn't that good, bro even with eczema it's much better than mine 💀

LUNA is taken but maybe LUUNA could work. Please keep them away from SM 🙃 but at least SM might pay them...

Literally they added Lookass to SuperM for the looks (that's objective) and entertainment, but other members are funny too, so whatever. Then gave him one line, cause he probably couldn't do more, put him in the back during dance breaks and that's it ajshkaisiqkqnanahaha

I saw something about Seok Matthew, right he's 🇨🇦! Oooh your mutual knows him? Wdym you're surprised he made it alive X.X. It made me sad when Hui said he wanted to feel validated, bestie you're good, you write for your group and other people :(

That MinSanHwa video is so cringe I can't stand them lmao, just creating their own AUs. But Seonghwa's nose scrunch and the boss walk, okaaaaay, mafia Hwa?

I played Un Village 15 times yesterday in order to celebrate Baekhyun's release!

Stunning, gorgeous, wonderful, main character

I've always felt some type of way about DF Hwa...

Oh...

🤧🤧🤧🤧 and massive brains

Btw do you know Tamino? I'm seeing him before I fly away to SK. I once had an insane dream of Hwa covering Tummy, so there's that 🙄 he also has a song called Habibi 👀

Random, but a few days ago I realised I forgot what your name was, cause to me it's Baek(sussy), but as I was watching T**n W*lf the movie and bitched about them ditching an important character named Kira, I REALISED! And this you? 🥑 mother Baek - DV 💖

hello!!

Omg I forgot about the Coutinho thing. And, Asensio in Arsenal perhaps? Ancelotti GET IN THE BIN OLD MAN🔪 //// I'm choosing number 8 (Kovacic you're out) definitely not 9 since it's a cursed number there skisjavavwajjsjs. France in shambles, but maybe they'll allow some younger good players now... but yeah, it's wild. Omg the video you sent, what was the referee thinking... but ngl the way they all jumped each other looked funny as fuck

these transfers are so 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 with now man city getting charged for fraud 😭😭😭 ITS SO HILARIOUS FJWKFHWKHD

ANCELOTTI NEED TO GET OUT UR RIGHT FBDB RM DROPPING 8 POINTS LMFAOOO 😭😭😭 no bc france is nastily in shambles,,, i can’t believe they’re actually saying this now about their player??? u expect him to respect the fans after they did this?? and call it attitude?? BRO?? NO FBWMDBWM THE BRO FOT A STRAIGHT RED CARD AND WHEN HE JUST HELD HIS COLLAR 😭😭 antony was YEETED,, football fights are so fun, the netherlands v argentina still hasn’t been topped yet im afraid this one’s coming in close fbdbdb

???? 😭😭😭

I like to think all the scums that got out will eventually join Prison League, but if they start playing like nothing happened 🔫🔫🔫🔫 /// I always torture myself by looking at food I cannot eat </3 Ateez are literally running away from me, I'm going to their country while they're going to my continent. What if we pass each other at the airport and I convince them I'm their new translator and go with them???

the way if he starts at man utd again, im an arsenal fan immediately 🤚🏻 DO U SEE THOSE BENTO MAKING CHANNELS 😭😭😭 watching those 50 min full compilations of them <3 they announced the madrid fan sign 😭😭😭 BUT AT LEAST THERE HOLDING A VALENTINES EVENT OM FEB 13th!! SNATCH ALL THE HWA THINGS THERE omg if u pass by then on the airport i TELL THEJ TO STOP LYING AND DROP THEIR FUCKING COVERS,, BE THEIR TRANSLATOR FJDBDN

Ah got it, I understand the "pressure" of writing for someone else and wanting to try something different. But in the end people should write what they truly want and your heart is clearly with another guy... 😌 Jokes aside, hope you're not too stressed over it!

yEAAAH 😭😭 i didn’t exactly wanna try something else but i knew if i wrote another hwa it would be on sight 🔫 will never stop after this actually idc idc he brings my writing back <3 i just find it lazy to write for yunho and it’s reaching 50k fbwnbd so i guess it’s a win-win for everyone!!

You forgot the name?! You're welcome then! Once in a while my brain remembers the song and goes "It's my scene, my scene, you know what I mean, It's my scene my scene" so I could never forget 😭

I DID I SWEAR ANON EVER SINCE I MOVED TO CAN I HAVE BEEN YEARNING, SEARCHING LIKE A MADWOMAN LOOKING FOR THESE GAMES U UNLOCKED MY DECADE WORTH OF WISHES 😭😭😭😭😭

Most of the accents in Skins weren't really posh, but realistic! When you look at the cast of Skins it's mad, cause many of them went on to have big careers, Nicholas Hoult, Dev Patel, Kaya Scodelario, Daniel Kaluuya, Joe Cole (Peaky Blinders), some were on Game of Thrones too. Eh my accent is 📈📉📈 sometimes I sound Australian for no reason lmao, but it's somewhat Br'i'sh most of the time. Ooof what happened in the Ryan movie?

omg??? DEV PATEL??? HE??? oh 👁👁 ok but nicholas hoult is a very fine man 🤚🏻 the show must’ve been insane their career and movieoraphy lists are kinda insane??? xmen? sandcastle? 😯 AHHHHH SO BOTH MIX,, would u say u drink tea with ur pinky up? and say naur or nœr? do u also say peng and blud 😭😭

ryan’s movie was a soft pornno without being subtle <3 100/10 would never recommend

Well Dohwa is in high school, so it has to be Tasir, and he has money too </3 but Dohwa I wish you the best, the recent chapters were full of him, it's not good for my heart.....

FJWKDJWKHXXK AND IF U HAD TO CHOSE BETWEEN HE AND TASIR 🔫🔫

Not Fake Love 😭 ok will do, but you need to stop leaving me blue balled for that villain fic!!! //// Hwa is simply a beautiful and delicate Y/N that's why he needs no hand cream. And he dared to say his skin isn't that good, bro even with eczema it's much better than mine 💀

IM SAYING !!!! THAT ORCHESTRA VERSION OF IT IS SO DRAMATIC BUT SO PRETTY! IF NOT FAKE LOVE THEN I NEED U I WONT FOR LONG!! but this?? so ur saying, if boxer hwa gets his hands injured quite often the yn would gift him some flowery scented hand cream? got it.

LUNA is taken but maybe LUUNA could work. Please keep them away from SM 🙃 but at least SM might pay them...

😭😭😭 AT LEAST THEY GET THE MONEY JVCJCJCK

Literally they added Lookass to SuperM for the looks (that's objective) and entertainment, but other members are funny too, so whatever. Then gave him one line, cause he probably couldn't do more, put him in the back during dance breaks and that's it ajshkaisiqkqnanahaha

tbh mark baek and kai are so funny in the superm show and the other dude literally can easily be set to the side 😭😭 put him in the back during dance breaks fbwndhj i bet it pissed taemin and kai off when he’s out of sync or maybe he isn’t when they are around fbdbd

I saw something about Seok Matthew, right he's 🇨🇦! Oooh your mutual knows him? Wdym you're surprised he made it alive X.X. It made me sad when Hui said he wanted to feel validated, bestie you're good, you write for your group and other people :(

yes yes!! pretty close meeting thru groups! yeah see, his high school, there’s ALWAYS have some sort of police there, but he goes to a $$$ school with shitty ppl <3 if u look it up it’s just druugs and all dbdb there’s a few that are much worse def, one made it to the news last month for all the sad reasons 🔫 BESTIE YOURE MORE THWN GOOD UR AN INSANELY TALENTED VOCALIST PRODUCER WRITER 😭😭😭 hope he still gets all his royalties and cube doesn’t just take them,, but these two guys?? they’re so good! reminded me off nct actually

That MinSanHwa video is so cringe I can't stand them lmao, just creating their own AUs. But Seonghwa's nose scrunch and the boss walk, okaaaaay, mafia Hwa? //// I played Un Village 15 times yesterday in order to celebrate Baekhyun's release! /// Stunning, gorgeous, wonderful, main character //// I've always felt some type of way about DF Hwa...

LMFAOOOO THE “aye brothah!” 😭😭😭 theyre like guys from grade 12 acting tough fbfbfb OKAAAAY ITS MAFIA HWA!! def understand why yn in that au hated him, imagining what she must’ve dealt with in their high school days! BAEKHYUN HE LOOKS LIKE HES RIGHT OUT OF CANDY ERA 😭😭 AS U SHOULD !!!! can’t believe they’re all active for the first time together since 2018 😭😭 omg have u heard psycho by him? it’s very, very villain. very. VERY.

LMFAOOO FBWMHDKW THE CENSOR 😭😭😭😭 YEAH HOW DARE THEY DITCH KIRA VRWKHDKW THAT IS ACTUALLY ME! you exposed me how dare u? 🔫

their car looks pretty sick 👀

HELP????? FBQMDHWMDJKW

😭😭😭

🧍🏻‍♀️🧍🏻‍♀️do u perhaps agree with this

[yuikomorii]

No cuz yui having short eyelashes and ayato having long eyelashes is so relatable?? 💀💀

Like my bf has long af eyelashes but doesn't care, then there's me trying to make me eyelashes longer 🥲

// Ikr! I recall a DF Heaven scenario in which Yui gets sad for the reason that Ayato’s lashes are longer than hers but I really can’t blame her because I would too. ;w;

Not only does he have those gorgeous bright green eyes, but also long, thick and dark eyelashes?? That’s literally a triple win. 😭😭

[sexydreamgirl]

ok so this is what i remember

- abuser forgetting about me and leaving me alone

- money (literally all the time)

- moving out (like 3 times and currently manifest the fourth lol)

- my looks and aesthetic (funny story bc i believe in LOA since i was a kid i just did not know about neville or the actual name of the law, i just had my beliefs and was very imaginative; so i was like hmmm how am i gonna be when im a teen? so i visualized and here i am exactly like i thought i would be)

- a trip to another state by myself when it was illegal in my country (time crunch)

- songs I want on spotify shuffle

- beautiful singing voice (literally everyone compliments)

- stretch marks disappearing

- a bedroom i like

- cute band t-shirts (i just saw on amazon and said its mine even tho i had no money at the time lol)

- clear skin (i never had ONE pimple istg)

- dance skills (i was born with a "disability" syndrome which - btw i have no interest in changing bc it does not bother me at all - made my leg a bit longer and less flexible, but im still a great dancer w an impressive flexibility and equilibrium)

- also my dad manifested my disability not affecting my life when i was a baby (one of my legs was supposed to be like huge af but he did not accept the diagnosis and changed that, my leg is perfectly normal now) he also manifested me to find the wine stain i had bc of the syndrome to be cute and since i learnt how to talk i find it such a charm 🥺

- db & df (also self steem)

- a friend who is literally me in a different font

- a keyboard bc a piano is too big

- hair growing up fast and being healthy (it was the same length my whole life)

- tan skin on winter (ik that rio has no winter but whatever)

- good memory

- beautiful eyes

- RED tv being released earlier

- boys and girls being obsessed w me

- perfect grades

- weight loss (time crunch)

- getting taller (time crunch)

- i instantly healed my sunburnt back

- maddie ziegler in a wlw movie just bc

- lactose intolerance (also for some stupid reason i thought it was fancy having it so i manifested having it when i was younger) and mosquito allergy away

anyone feel free to ask me how i did any of those things but its really simple just a flawless self concept and affs (and visualizing but just bc i really like it)

- 🇧🇷

oh and a stepsister and being fluent in like so many languages !! there's probably more

Wowww these all sound great! I hope you intend to provide updates!

[pinayelf-archive]

Hey, bestie, I just got my gaming pc set up and running!! What DAI mods do you recommend?

Hey!!! okay this might get long lmao fhddhu

so the mods i'll be linking are both for frosty and dai mod manager so i'll just drop this tutorial on how to use both

also keep in mind i mostly play EF and HF so a lot of these are catered towards them jfidji

gameplay stuff

increase power - so you can give yourself a lot of power in the beginning and not have to grind just to get to val royeaux

war table no waiting - the war table missions are done instantly so you can just do a bunch in one go lol

open all halla doors - you don't have to get all the halla statuettes at the winter palace so you can get the outcome you want easier

spirit blade charge removal and spirit blade nerf revert - if you play a KE and you just wanna slice through enemies w/o charging your blade

some store overhauls (so you can get crafting materials/supplies easier) - crossroads crafting supply, anhamirak's store overhaul (only use one at a time tho)

infinite fade step - fun when you're a mage lmao fnhhfu you can literally just zoom thru places

prologue supplies - gives you overpowered armor/weapons in the prologue so you can just get out of there lmfao

cosmetic mods

enhanced character creator - a MUST mod for me tbh. unlocks a lot of stuff in the cc so you can really get in there and make your character the way you want to 

modded hair in DLCs - it used to be a giant pain to figure out which hair mods will work in DLCs and now you don’t have to deal with that using this god bless

complexions i really like (read descriptions to see which slots each one takes. you can only really use one at a time in most cases): gearhog’s complexions (male and female), assorted complexions (female quizzie only), aci male complexions, stronger freckles (male and female)

HAIRS. there’s lots of lovely hairs now. these are a mix of daimod and frosty: anto hairs, misc hairs, hairstyle day, tight curls, messy hairs, side braid w bun and there’s a lot more if you just search it up!!!

some brow mods i like: eyebrows 4 men (i honestly use this on ladies too it’s good if you have female quizzies w/ thick brows), sos brows, settrah’s brows

new and improved makeup - just makes the makeup look nicer 

vivid eyes - my fave eye mod because it FINALLY lets your quizzie have brown/dark brown eyes

give dudes body hair hehe

clothing mods

starting armor replacer - you can pick what armor you wear at the beginning! 

invisible starting armor - makes you wear the skyhold PJs instead of the starting armor. really good if you have a PJ replacer that you like and would rather wear in the prologue

PJ retextures i like - blue velvet (HF), casual jammies (EF), ornate orlesian PJs (HM and DM), ra’lah PJs (EF), skyhold lace PJs (HF and EF), Libelula’s PJs (EF & HF), warm knitted jammies (all female quizzies)

PJ replacers - EF PJ replacers, Inquisitor’s Closet (EF and HF)

Formal wear replacers - so you can pick what you want to wear to the Winter Palace! You can also find the mod to use the wedding dress then here

Wedding dress retextures - SK retext and mesh (all female quizzies), prestige couture (EF and HF), silvermoon retexture (EF, DF, and HF)

Champagne and Truffles - my fave vanilla formal wear (nutcracker outfit) retexture because it makes cullen look like prince charming

NPC mods 

i personally don’t really like to tweak the companions/advisors too much so there won’t be a lot here

NPC subtle tweaks - lots of different subtle tweaks options for the companions/advisors. it also has deshine!

sera deshine - deshine for sera specifically

Origin Alistair - make ali look like how he did in DAO

Anto Hair - there are options in here to give Viv, Dorian, Josie etc different hairstyles

Cullen 4k retexture - makes cullen’s armor 4k 

Padme’s Frosty Cullen Outfit Swaps - different outfit options for cullen! i like this because i think he needs to be in comfy casualwear sometimes hfudhu

and that’s all i can think of atm fjidfij if you need help w/ anything and any other questions feel free to ask

One Piece Chapter 1053 - Initial Thoughts

So we are here, last chapter of the month.

Lot to unpack left in Wano (which is sending theorycrafters in a spin and the Wano haters out in droves) but we will have to steel ourselves

New bounties incoming, and the fallout shall continue

Spoilers for the Chapter, Support the Official Release also

Also want to reiterate that people of tumblr can easily be using this Keep Reading to FECKING HIDE YOUR GODDAMN SPOILERS!

Like it ain't hard, and I've been dodging spoilers like the Matrix since Tuesday.

Anyways, Cover Page was to promote the new game Odyssey, it's colourful but yeah, the Germa story keeps getting interrupted and we still need Gear Fifth colours

The Gorosei are going wild though with Luffy's new poster, including his new photo. Seems they wanted to remove the D like they did with Roger too, but Monkey Luffy doesn't really have the same ring to it and everyone knows he's Monkey D. Garp's grandson, and Monkey D. Dragon's son

Is it me or did that marine look a bit like White Eye from CP0, was my clone theory close to the truth? But it seems the photo was sent by CP0 anyway, Guernica. Is that mask-face? I guess it would have to be right?

They want to reprint it but Morgans has already sent them off, he's having a Big News-gasm that the Gorosei cannot defeat

Huh, has Morgans been wiretapping CP0?

And if they stopped once they saw BM's ship that implies Big Mom is alive, or they're at least searching for her

Someone else pointed it out but there's a Sabo poster on one of the kingdoms, which means he's not dead either

Luffy, Law AND Kid all got 3 Billion each!

Kinda surprised they all got the same number but good for them, but does that mean they all leapfrogged Blackbeard? He was on 2 and a half last time right?

Kid's on the move but Law is still simmering on the fallout of what this'll cause

Food's fancy but Sanji didn't cook it so sorry bud

Also Jinbe's the only one here, the rest are already partying (JINBE I KNOW YOU'RE POLITE BUT JOIN IN THE FESTIVITIES)

Yamato's wilding with Luffy and Chopper as it's his first festival. I know people are again reaching at this for confirmation, and it does look likely, but I still feel like it's 'jumping the line' still, and I worry that his flaws will show a lot more outside of Wano where he has less emotional stakes, and if Carrot doesn't join she deserved better than to be pipped so easily

Hiyori jamming with Brook for the musical festivities

See? Robin is Poneglyph hunting, y'all were worried for nothing

Theory confirmed: Hitetsu was Sukiyaki!

WHAT DO YOU MEAN PLUTON IS HERE!!??

Babanuki no! Seems the Admiral does have a plant DF, and he can drain people's energy

And he's handling King and Queen without even trying!

I feel like I've seen his face, Aramaki though WHY COULDN'T YOU BE CHILL?

Instead he's a suck up to Akainu, and he's going for Luffy to try and get approval from him...you could've just been chill

Back at the festival Kid is gunning for Luffy, who of course mistakes him for wanting to join in the party

Another Carrot panel, much more visible too (yes I know she's with the minks but I ain't giving up she deserves it just as much if not more than Yamato)

And Kin'emon and Tsuru finally reunited

Kid though still wants blood, and why? because Luffy is officially a Yonko

But Law and Kid aren't...Buggy is!

Fucking knew it, I didn't post it because I felt it wouldn't get much attention but after thinking about it I considered the warlords becoming a Yonko. Wanted it to be Mihawk but I knew Buggy would be the gag choice

Dude, Be. Fucking. Chill!

Oda sir, mate, bro, buddy, my man, my dude, hermano, ese, amigo, aniki, jefe, muchacho, comrade, mon ami, sensei...WHY?

The literal amount of cliffhangers we got here; Pluton, Ryokugyu being pro-Akainu, Buggy is a Yonko, Luffy is a Yonko, Kid wants murder, everyone is seeing Gear Fifth, the world's going to shit (in the navy's opinion at least), Kaido's commanders have been taken down and Ryokugyu is threatening to ruin the party.

And we have a month. A MONTH to sit on that

You beautifully dastardly man!

This chapter was great, and a good showing of how much Oda can easily pack into a chapter, but as expected Wano ain't over just yet. One of course hopes that the Admiral is fended off by the sheer mountainous force of the Flower Capital but with that giant tree he might have some manner of control. I dunno I'm just hoping he backs off, since he's basically doing his own thing right now, I don't think Akainu would approve of Wano seeing the navy in a negative light if he messes up their 20 year liberation festival.

I mean, Robin has to find Pluton and Zoro still needs to visit Ryuma's grave, so I'd rather he not try to chase the pirates out of Wano y'know?

The bounties did surprise me, but only because just Luffy is considered 'Yonko' and not the same bounty Law and Kid. I guess it is because Morgans backs Luffy and he was already 'Fifth emperor', maybe territory too if you count Fishman Island? It's a weird one, because surely the bounty value means Buggy and Blackbeard must be higher than 3 bil to still be classed as Yonko? Wouldn't the dismantling of the Warlords mean that the Yonko system would need to modify too? I dunno I think part of me was still pulling for Mihawk; could've had Shanks, Blackbeard, Mihawk, Buggy and Luffy as the Fifth Emperor but I'm sure Oda will pull it off

But still a month, we gotta lean on each other for it, and granted there's still stuff with the Live Action and Odyssey and more Movie Red promotion but the new chapter will still be a long wait.

Tl;Dr this was a great chapter but a painful cliffhanger leaving to wait. And so it begins.

[coolgirltactics]

I have seen Cambridge fans CELEBRATING Meghan's miscarriage, in the same sentence where they drew crying emojis for W&K's dog's death. I will NEVER forget that. That was what turned me against them forever. It was actual, literal DEATH. And they CELEBRATED it. I would not have believed it had I not read it on various Cambridge blogs and DF comments with my own two eyes. I can never un-see what all I read. It honestly shook my faith in humanity.

I distinctly remember a royal fashion blog that was getting popular posting about it and allowing and liking comments questioning it was true, then judging her for writing about it. Like horrible shit. Like you said, multiple cambridge and royal blogs had casual conversations on if it was true or if she was attention seeking by announcing it. Then a lot of the responses was she deserved to be questioned because she publicized it. Truly, disgusting.

[everybody-loves-purdy]

God I have sO MANY thoughts abt ALitM

Like, first off: MAGGOTTAIL IS ALIVE AND HE’S GOT LORE!!

Kinda miffed they decided to make him a ShadowClan cat bc we already have so many in the DF/it kinda feels like an “all Slytherins are evil” situation (and also I was hoping since he was said to be one of the oldest (if not the oldest) DF residents that maybe he’d be from SkyClan) and w/ how he went from an intimidating DF leader to acting like a naive child (like, c’mon, man, you’ve been here far longer than everyone else and you actually believed Ashfur’s BS?) who’s apparently just another “I wanted to be leader and was impatient” villain (tho let’s be real the Erins were never gonna make his crimes as dark as the ones the fandom came up w/ lmao that part’s on me)

Second: is it just me, or did the whole scene w/ Bramblestar and the other leaders when Shadowsight first came back from the DF feel like a slap in the face to the fandom for calling him abusive?? Like, Leafstar, the leader who’s had absolutely zero prior experience w/ the DF, expresses a very valid concern that maybe Bramblestar isn’t the same cat he once was due to having been trapped in the DF for ages and possessed by Ashfur, and everyone flips shit on her bc he’s “a true warrior” and there’s no way he “could be anything but brave and honorable” (those are actual quotes. I hate it here). Like to me it felt like the Erins Kate mocking the fandom for daring to suggest Bramblestar is anything but a good cat when he’s absolutely garbage lmao

Third: the callback to Into the Wild where Firestar and Graystripe ambush one another made me tear up bc my god the nostalgia I felt (hella mad that there was no Sandstorm, Ravenpaw, or even Dustpelt tho 😭). Also teared up w/ Graystripe’s death and the random Firestar POV, which like,,,, what was up w/ that, actually?? Like could he do that this whole time?? Can anyone in StarClan do that?? I loved getting a Firestar POV again but I wish there had been an explanation for it as well as for Darkstripe’s random revival bc Rootspring mentions that he’d pushed him into the water in TPonS so like??? Erins explain pls

Fourth: the misogyny in this book is astounding. Leafpool mentions how she had to fight to be accepted into StarClan for breaking the code….and then literally on the same page Firestar teases the cat she broke the code w/ abt breaking the code. Then there’s the whole Bristlefrost being permakilled thing (not even gonna go into that bc this ask is already long enough lol) and how Lightleap was actually going to have plot relevance….. until the Erins decided “wait we can’t have a female sibling of a MC contribute meaningfully to the plot so uh actually she’s a coward. Send in the heavily injured cat w/ limited fighting skills instead pls”. Erins write actual decent female characters challenge.

Fifth bc I needed some more positivity in this ask: I’m actually pleasantly surprised w/ how the Erins handled Ashfur’s incell-ness?? Like, given the above point I lowkey expected more victim-blaming of Squilf/excusing of Ashfur’s actions, but they actually stuck to it and condemned his actions?? They def didn’t do things perfectly, but my gosh was it refreshing to have all the blame be placed solely on Ashfur and be reminded that you don’t owe anyone anything just bc they happen to like you

Anyway, I liked the book overall but my goodness did the Erins drop the ball in so many places here 😭 Love your blog and sorry this got so long lol I just had to get these thoughts out

Hiya! Dw I don’t mind it being long lol, I’m glad you like this blog! I’ll answer each point you make in the way you’ve listed them

First: yeah finally a bit of Maggottail lore! I personally had hoped he would have been a SkyClan cat to tie in to the now retconned Su Susan stuff but oh well. It does kind of feel that every evil cat is being lumped into ShadowClan lol. And yeah it feels odd that he believed the whole “pull out your whiskers” thing. To me he came across as quite an old soul in the dark forest from what little of him we saw prior, it feels a bit weird to make him fall for that.

Second: I completely agree

Third: I loved that callback too. And yeah the Firestar possession raised quite a few questions lol. I guess this is the Erin’s way of saying what Ashfur did to Bramblestar’s body is something technically all StarClan cats can do but they’re too good to even consider doing it? And yeah considering how deadly the water was in this book Darkstripe was certainly lucky to survive it, maybe the water’s deadliness strengthened as the forest shrunk more

Fourth: Again, I completely agree

Fifth: I hadn’t thought of that, and yeah I agree. If nothing else, in this arc it has been pretty clear they are trying to show that someone like Ashfur doesn’t belong in StarClan and props to them for actually acknowledging this rather than allowing it to be swept under the rug and not admit that this choice was a mistake, and showing how Ashfur’s incelness is directly tied to his villainy
