Benny x Courier but the Courier is increasingly in denial for their feelings for Benny cause they see him as this loser pretty city boy Vegas type and they slowly (or rather quickly) realize that there were in fact reasons why Benny was able to manipulate so many people, infiltrate the Fort and avoid serious injury for all of it.

Like surprise the corniest loser you know is actually pretty badass and you kinda find that infuriatingly attractive.

LOCKWOOD AND CO FANDOM

Take three minutes to read this, please.

Do you want this fandom to grow? Do you want this fandom to thrive? Do you want to have fun interacting with people on here?

For the love of Skull, reblog things.

This is how tumblr works: when you reblog something, the people who follow you can see it. A post gets more reach. That means that both other people in the fandom see it and that people on the oustide learn about this series' existence. (I cannot count the number of shows I've gotten into because people I follow kept reblogging thoughts, gifsets, and art.)

I went through the most recent nine posts in the tag, and do you want to see how badly we're doing?

Fic link: 5 likes, 0 reblogs Cameron Photo Shoot: 12 likes, 1 reblog Gifset: 14 likes, 3 reblogs Void Thoughts: 5 likes, 0 reblogs Fic link: 1 likes, 0 reblogs Fic link: 1 likes, 0 reblogs Show thoughts: 10 likes, 1 reblog Post-canon thoughts: 6 likes, 1 reblog Fic-recs fic discussion: 0 likes, 0 reblogs

Look at those ratios. Even gifsets are barely gaining any traction.

We're a small fandom. If you want us to grow, reblog. If you want to have more fun on tumblr, reblog. Fandoms die without interaction, and simply liking things isn't interaction, not on tumblr.

I am begging you. Reblog things.

Authentic Story of the Shining Force - Saint Fencer Max - Chapter 4

Translation notes:

This is the last boob joke. We're free at last.

Here's the retranslation of every scene with the Spring of Recollection in the game. Overall, her speech here is fairly close to what she says in Waral in-game, with a few details from her final appearance sprinkled in, like her care for Cain. It does misses a few nuances though, like the Legacy being more than just Dark Dragon.

I don't think I've ever seen art of the Spring, but notably, she gets a portrait in the GBA version, and it looks a lot like the manga design, with the slightly wavy hair and especially the blank eyes.

Obviously, the manga rushes through the plot since it's short, thus a lot of places are skipped. I didn't even feel like pointing them out before. However I will point out Waral not being here this time, because Waral happens to not be in the beta map either, and it has very contradicting lore between the ASCII guide and the World Book, meaning it might have not been well developed. Besides, Chapter 5 is very weirdly structured. You get two ship battles that are basically the same, you get to Waral by accident, you advance the plot by going to Ring Reef for no reason and everyone telling you it's off-limits while letting you waltz in anyway, and hardly anything happens in the shrine besides you hearing about the Manual, which is not even a big deal because you get to Rudo by accident later (two ship accidents!! why repeat this plot point!!) and would go to Dragonia anyway to help Bleu. Basically, I obviously can't prove it, but it wouldn't surprise me if the ocean shrine was initially thought off as only a plot scene, and the battles/town added much later for gameplay reasons.

Perhaps worth mentioning, the GBA version also makes a point to mention that Max got lost in the shrine alone, and everyone was worried about him, which does remind me a lot of the ship scene here.

uh oh. i hit image limit for the first time and i don't wanna remove either of these pics. more notes on a reblog later.

Yo! 🧜 twas I~ No pressure or anything on the Fluidity sequel, like I'd love one ofc but only if you loved writing it yknow? Hate when ppl try to guilt or bully fic writers :C. I so get that, I have a pile of wips and I want to do them, I really do but instead I'm reading fics and writing other ones whooops! Although you're writing has given me the bug to write more dark content, been too wuss to write and post it so thanks for posting yours, seeing you get positive feedback makes it less scary.

Oh man, you can tell you had fun writing them too! They are SO good. I'm still blown away with how you wrote Megumi, like, he was so delulu but you wrote it so well that I like, understood how he felt? like I was sympathising hard ugh like, I needed to take five after that it was phenomenal. And agreed, delusional men are *chefs kiss* (Like your Nanami one! woof that was also very good)

I'm almost through Free! and then i'm watching it for suuure, like I'm so excited to watch it now, I've been meaning to but now I just HAVE too and honestly I'll absolutely be back with thoughts lmao!

Anyway, was gonna type this as a comment but I had too much to say!

YEAAAAA WRITE IT WRITE IT!!! And yea I do love monsters so there’s still a good chance I finish it in my own time ♡ just can’t promise anything because sadly I only have so many hours in a day and too many thoughts to write out but the free guys are in my heart and soul I love theMMMM

Yea yEA YEA! Megumi in that is like,, idk he’s sort of my fave because he’s just so ? insane and has zero holdups about it. It just makes sense to him so what more does he need. No thoughts head so fucking empty that boy,, anyhow I appreciate that so MUCHHHH love (；◔ิд◔ิ)/

And yeSSS I’ll be waiting hehehhe sharing your experience w others is what makes fandom so fun imo I’M GLAD IT APPEALS TO YOU

[secretlythatsme]

i really love dc x dp tbh but i hate how so many fics end up making the batfam dumb as shit. and i don't mean in a "loveable goof" kind of way but in a genuine "these people don't have the skills or intelligence to be heroes" kind of way. which is just antithetical to their entire thing

sometimes it's because the writer just genuinely doesn't know anything about the batfam or what they've been through so they come across as idiots. and other times it's because the writer is writing op ghost king danny or just generally op danny and they genuinely think he could outsmart or beat them. more often than not, it's a combination of the two.

it's just so sad. like not only is it disrespectul to the batfam, essentially getting rid of all the skills and experience they have just to prop up danny, but it also makes things a lot more boring imo. don't get me wrong, i don't mind the occasional "main character is super op" kind of story, but it's boring when like 70% of fics are like that and there's no real challenge or obstacle for him. part of why the show danny phantom was so fun was that it was exciting and chair gripping to see danny have to deal with his new ghost powers, figuring out how to deal with ghost attacks or vlad, and dealing with school and his parents on top of that.

but often, dc x dp fics just,, get rid of any challenge for him. sure batman is a skilled detective but danny will always be able to trick him! sure cass has been trained since birth to read people's body language but this random ghost teen knows how to conceal and control everything!! yeah damian has also been trained since birth to fight and kill but this random guy from the midwest who just started fighting in his teens is so much better!!! like, alright. it's fun every now and then but it sucks when so much of the dc x dp content is just people acting like the batfam are the worst vigilantes/detectives in the world.

and honestly i still feel this way even with the ghost king danny fics because how? he's never had to deal with people obsessively reading his body language or reading between the lines. he's had to deal with hiding stuff sure but his parents aren't the most observant people - their whole deal was being neglectful. even as a ghost king, why would he know how to outsmart, take advantage of, or beat the batfam in any capacity when he would still mostly deal with ghosts. it's a completely different skill set here - one that he likely wouldn't be prepared for. it'd be fine if they at least attempted to explain why danny would have those skills (like league danny aus) but most of them don't.

and i'm not saying danny couldn't do it at all, especially if it's a ghost king au, but i'm just tired of seeing the batfam constantly downplayed in these fics Just to make danny look better, smarter, stronger, etc. ik most people in the fandom are just danny fans but it really shows with how they treat, characterize, and shit on the dc characters just to prop danny up. it also serves to occasionally make danny look like an asshole when he intentionally messes with them and basically commits psychological torture for a goof.

it sucks so much ass that i can’t use any of my paintings for my portfolio because they’re all fanart :( you might say ‘oh jey, why don’t you just paint other things?’ very easy answer to that. i don’t want to :) i paint for myself and i don’t want to have to do things i won’t enjoy for the sake of a portfolio

[theheirofthesharingan]

I've been thinking about this a lot lately.

The lack of content on Itachi in canon is driving me up the wall. A lot of his characterization relies on fan interpretations and opinions you see on the internet because there just isn't enough of it in canon. And people keep interpretating his actions based on their own judgement (sometimes even ignoring what's in canon because it feeds their bias).

A little bit of more stuff on him shouldn't have hurt anyone but we never get to see Itachi as his own person. Despite being as popular as he is, he never gets any exposure that goes beyond Sasuke's characterization. Itachi is there to further Sasuke's story, not to have his own storyline, no matter how interesting it is. If it doesn't help Sasuke's plot, the narrative hardly mentions it. He's only a plot device to carry on with one of the main characters' story.

And it sucks because there are some loose ends I'd like to know about when it comes to him, though no independent of Sasuke. Only if Kishimoto had spent some more time on Itachi and given some explanations. That would be great

i have this weird evil productivity demon in my head that’s like WOW YOU HAVE ONLY DRAWN NON COMIC ART TODAY YOU ARE USELESS and it’s also like WOW YOU HAVE ONLY DRAWN COMIC ART TODAY YOU ARE USELESS but it’s also like YOU LEFT THE COMIC OFF MID SENTENCE WOW YOU ARE USELESS +STUPID but also like WOW YOU LEFT THE COMIC OFF AT THE END OF A CHAPTER/PART, YOU NEED TO WORK ON A NEW ONE TO KEEP U BUSY OR YOU ARE USELESS

[shidoukanae]

Did a study of a panel i like for a manga with absolutely my favorite female character i've seen yet and thought i'd post it here too in the hopes of eventually finding fans of this series when they inevitably, like me, look for more content of this story :'D

I could gush about this funny, lovestarved, absolutely downright sympathetic and villainous lady who absolutely deserves to be family with the protag for so many hours if you let me she is literally so perfect and everything I have ever wanted from female characters before.

I've gone from going "ooooo she's such a cool antagonist who is such a funny little mystery i LOVE her" to "yeah she's kind of on the insane spectrum but tbf who wouldn't be fucked up in her situation TwT" to "i WILL cry over her and she is completely in the right for doing what she's doing and i can't believe i ever believed she wasn't the heroine she's supposed to be :'D"

[total-drama-takes]

Am I the only one kinda uncomfortable that there's a Harry Potter AU blog still going in the Total Drama tag? JK is insisting anyone still consuming her content or involved in HP fandom supports her views about transgender people so it's super weird the blog is still active. Considering how many Total Drama fans are transgender I'm surprised no one's brought it up.

was torn on answering this, may delete later

[septembersghost]

This is so random but I was bouncing around Spotify and some rando I heard first time about, on an "understand songs" playlist had 8mln monthly listeners then I go to Leonard Cohen and he has 3,5mln and if I wasn't lying down I would have to sit down

i was reading something the other day about the plummeting stats of every artist predating the 2000s and also was glad to already be lying down, i understand
