Good to know that the immediate reaction of people seeing that Copia might be wearing shoes or clothes with velcro is to be ableist as fuck.

The marauders' fandom is so misogynistic it got me defending Dolores motherfucking Umbridge

i think nephset is very fun to think about and analyze because nephthys basically revolves around seth (and seth to nephthys in a similar vein) (minus the whole "being hypnotized by osiris and forced to carry their baby (anubis) and lying to seth about it. which is not really her fault) (also i dont care what anyone else says anubis is seths son) but i find it very odd that when present day nephseth is brought up especially in the newer chapters theres this. pushback to it. and the reason why really feels like its because she gets in the way of the yaoi rather than it being the fact that they probably would not work together anymore

like dont get me wrong. i currently believe that seth and nephthys cannot come together again without it being really awkward. it has been awkward for so long and their relationship has been strained so much by seths insanity that it definitely does not work. if it were to work they would need intense couples counciling (that would also not exist). however i feel like most people struggle to realize you can both ship/like/think about nephseth along with horuseth and it doesnt devalue the latter at all

i am not a twitter user at heart (keep deadnaming that bitch) so every time i log back into my twitter account solely for the purpose of looking at cool art that i am normally locked out of admiring i am just . baffled. by how that site works. and i'm not even talking about the framework or the Stability of the site or its coding i'm talking abt the goddamn hashtag system. HOW do u use it. like genuinely i've never understood it. bc i've seen fanart properly tagged and it has like 2 likes and then i see another piece that isn't tagged at all and it has 67539165379165751379 likes. what is the organization system here. how do people find anything, especially if u don't even mention the fandom ur making art for in the caption. u can look up keywords but what if ur post has none. what then. i genuinely do not get it. banging on the bars of my enclosure and crying and wailing etc etc etc

idk if it's because my mum worked in a tv magazine or what but all the media wars and backstabbing and stuff happening behind the cameras is so so interesting to me

Just thinking about Clint defending himself "no I am not a mutant or inhuman or anything else I am simply just a human" & some people probably still thinking he is lying because "just a human can't have a perfect aim & being able to do all of this"

@ anon there's a reason i've been trusted with information in the past and it's the same reason i cannot directly answer your messages -- but the scene being described did not exist

[kaiserouo]

What is the Egyptian trend?

some sort of tiktok trend where characters (typically poc but ive seen a fair number of whites) are dressed in orientalist (ie, skimpy and sexualized) clothing or lackthereof really, and are animated to dance to music with their hands clasped together

i would show you examples but if you just look it up on google (lit. "egyptian dance tiktok") youll see some results

[gaywizardzone]

in an intensive course this week so i’ve got no time to draw for kanda’s birthday </3 but he’s everything to me as always.  anyway picture of him cropped from the canvas from when friend held me at verbal knifepoint to sketch them all in color for once in my life

[butterflyeffectiooon]

With august it was “he’s a complicated and flawed character but that doesn’t make him BAD” and it was also like that with day at certain points, well now I raise you: last twilight is a complicated and flawed show but that doesn’t make it BAD!!!

[puptergeist]

goblingender-art -> puptergeist !!! :3

SORRY in advance for the long ask pleeease take your time and take care, I hope you feel better + get to have a good time at the con or hanging out with your dad :( It means the world to me that you enjoy my stuff though! It did take me a while to notice you were even following me (hence. @ing you on a post you'd already seen gdjfshld) but we got there eventually...

Definitely definitely was expecting to see more of Infinite Wealth at the summit… since the tweets mentioned character introductions but didn't specify for which game, I was under the impression we'd at least be introduced to the as-yet-unidentified voices in the trailer. Gameplay would've been HUGE to include too 😩 I guess it makes enough sense though, since it's not The Upcoming Release...

I shall bide my time. I have no idea what to expect from fall summit (as intended). But if it's going to be a seasonal thing, I figure a potential "winter summit" is the latest it could be to show us gameplay for something that's suppsed to be an early 2024 release, if not just putting out trailers or other showcases and stuff independently.

LEGIT THOUGH IT JUST MAKES IT SOUND LIKE KIRYU IS LYING TO SOUND COOL GDJSKGLDS which is also Arakawa-esque… "maybe I felt like impressing an idiot kid"… If nothing else, I feel like I'll enjoy the dynamic they're going for with those two. Specifically casting Kiryu as a "big brother" figure rather than a father figure also makes me WEEP because the only "aniki" Ichi's ever had is Jo. So it's like... from Jo to Joryu...

Also I just really like the acting choices by the mocap actor for Kiryu, I feel like we've never really seen him move that… casually? His mannerisms also 100% make him look like he's lying lol like there are multiple "tells" it's so funny

I glossed over the proposal (because I expected that to be the main topic anyway, being the only dialogue scene we got) but I completely agree with everything that's been said, basically. Reverse chick magnet for life… but I do expect there's more to it than meets the eye because summit is pretty focused on "generating buzz," so the fact it feels so out of place is probably what they were banking on.

Because like, on top of everything mentioned, Ichiban is portrayed as an entirely passive participant in the romances in 7, and IIRC for Saeko and Eri he wasn't really even fully aware they were into him. So for him to not only be the one to propose but bomb so hard a seasoned hostess (as Kiryu points out in JP)--who'd rather be groped than subjected to Weird Shit--blew up at him and there was fallout from Adachi and Nanba is a huge deviation from how he's portrayed.

It's also kind of like, to me, the translation says something a little different than what was actually being said; Ichi's emphasis wasn't really on the fact she rejected him (implying he expected her to accept + placing more importance on his own feelings vs hers), but the fact she "chewed him out" (implying he should've known better in the first place than to ask).

Of course, he's apparently planning on trying again so he is hoping she'll accept eventually, and the general tone of the interaction suggests he should've known better regardless, but both say something slightly different about his characterization in this scene to me. There's also TL weirdness with Ichi saying Kiryu seems like a good dude rather than just… him explaining that he doesn't mean anything bad by saying he doesn't seem like a ladies' man, which is a bigger mistake but less consequential, I guess.

There's also Saeko's line from the original teaser, "You say that like you're proposing," so it would seem she's already caught off guard (i.e. not taking it seriously yet) and not too thrilled with the idea (provided it's the same convo). I don't really have much to go off of, but if they are in a relationship, I can only assume either she's made it clear she doesn't want to get married or his proposal method was just That Bad, or they're not in a relationship.

In the latter case all I have to pull from is other media with characters who are somewhat like Ichi, but it made me think of times I've seen characters propose for legal or financial reasons or etc. and get Totally Owned, and I'd honestly find that a believable Ichi Situation… Ichi thinking like 50 steps ahead and not explaining himself properly and just Making Saeko More Mad… I'm just musing, though.

Yokoyama and co. were--if I heard right--being pretty cagey about whether they ARE in a relationship in the first place though, which strikes me as odd compared to RGGS' openness about Kaito's ex in the Lost Judgment DLC. So… definitely not beating the red herring allegations just yet, at any rate. Especially when said DLC involves a fake-out on a proposal lmao

Putting all that aside since we can't make any definitive statements anyway, I AM going to make the definitive statement that literally every single design in Gaiden so far is indeed drippy as hell.

such is the cruel fate of being shadowbanned on this webbed site I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream etc etc ( ╯-╰ ; ) but we did get there! and i very much do enjoy what you post :]

if there's nothing for fall summit (though i'm going to hope a lil there will be since that's what. three months from now) then there'll definitely be something for winter summit. if the idea is that there's more of a focus on gaiden since its release date is sooner, then it's fair to assume- with that logic- the winter one'll have the bulk of LAD8 news and demos. either way, im excited for both to see what both of them bring us !

ignoring the elephant in the room of the proposal thing, i also really liked the vibe of it all (and ive also been trying reeaaally hard to make a joke connecting jo and joryu since that's also a bit i enjoy) (❁´◡`❁) i did like that lowkey feel and just the casualness of the atmosphere and the slight awkward/uncomfortable-but-not-overly-offended-and-even-minorly-comedic energy from kiryu lmao. cant ever go wrong with having a scene that's there to slow everythin down a bit, and it does help set up a kind of homely/familial vibe ♪(´▽｀)

i dont need to comment any more on the proposal thing either LMAO everything ima say i been repeating for the past. X asks 😩

and with that. yeah everyone looks FIRE as hell in gaiden (EXCEPT nishitani ima be 100%.... idk the loud primary colors aren't doing it for me.... points for the nails and hair though) 😩
