ari, could you potentially give me advice as to what i should watch next? i finished 'jujutsu kaisen' a couple of months ago, but i can't find myself anything to watch...

i tried getting into delicious in dungeon but i didn't really enjoy it all that much and found it to be a little boring... (i watched three episodes.)

i started watching frieren and while it's entertaining and there are aspects that i enjoy, it doesn't grip me as much as 'jujutsu kaisen' did.

on the other hand, i don't want to watch anything that it too dark and distressing, you know?

i was just wondering if you have found something fun since you have finished 'jujutsu kaisen'.

SLAMS FIST ON TABLE.

you have come to the right place :3333

ANON I’M SO HAPPY SOBS!!!!!!! i’ve been wanting to rant about the anime i like/the ones i’ve been watching recently for a while now………….

not liking dungeon meshi is totally fine, i will say that it only gets better the further you get!! :3 if you have the time i’d at least watch the first cour and see what you think!! it does . a bit of a genre swap….. 👀👀 frieren is one i put on hold too, so i can’t say much about that… i’ll probably watch it at some point though. anyway.

OKAY SOOOO . i do have some general recs for you first, before i get to anime that are currently airing/just finished airing!! if you’re looking for something similar to jjk then the obvious answer is chainsaw man, it’s not everyone’s cup of tea but it’s my favorite manga next to jjk so. yk!! personally i think it’s better than jjk writing wise but s1 doesn’t get to the Really good parts…..

buuuut i know you didn’t want anything too dark and gritty, which csm most definitely is, so 😭 i’m gonna tell you abt my favorite favorite little anime. kind of. which is fate/stay night: unlimited bladeworks <333 EXTREMELY important that you watch the ufotable version. the fate series is my favorite ever and the anime means so much to me…. lots of good writing and characters and more than anything it’s very hopeful. in a really heartfelt way!!! the heaven’s feel movies are super good but also adapted from the darkest route of the fate visual novel lmao, so maybe… stay away from those. they’re insanely good though!!

another fate work that recently got adapted is fate/strange fake!! :3 only one episode is out rn as a kind of teaser for the series to come, but PLEASE do check it out because it’s… so good. i have a feeling you’ll love it, anon!! fate and jjk are similar in a lot of important ways i think….

i also want to give you some recs if you’re just looking for fluffy slice of life/romcom stuff!!!! romantic killer, gekkan shoujo nozaki-kun, and a sign of affection are all super feel-good and comfy <3333 just really funny and cute…

WITH THAT BEING SAID . i’m gonna recommend some anime that i’m currently watching/just recently finished!!!! i have two in mind :33

first: oshi no ko!!! i’m mentioning this one first since it is… a pretty dark show. not in the same way jjk is, but i’d call it a kind of psychological horror/it deals with some really sensitive topics!! the whole point of the show is to dissect the entertainment industry, including/especially the darker parts, which i think says enough. it’s so much fun to watch and i feel like i learn a lot from it too :3 from what i’ve heard the portrayal is very accurate!! it’s also just… a gorgeous show with such an interesting premise and fun cast?? the first episode is movie length and made me sob like a baby, so i’d watch that one and see how you feel afterwards!! season 2 is currently airing :333

then!!! we have my arguably biggest rec for you anon: wind breaker!! it just recently finished at 13 episodes, and it’s a very action heavy shounen :3 super cool fight scenes, GREAT characters, and really lovely writing but in a way that’s easy to digest. this is the perfect anime for binging i think, and also really pulled me in (though eps 7-9 are my absolute favorites!!) <333 if you’re looking for something to feed your shounen brain with characters you can latch onto for comfort, wind breaker is your guy. i am in Love with togame jo.

………. also. anon. you asked for anime specifically but i want nothing but the best for you so 😔 i’m also gonna go ahead and recommend this…… interactive murder mystery music series? on youtube. it’s… basically anime!! just mostly mvs and audio dramas….. i’ll link the playlist so you can watch it in order, the first video will hopefully explain everything you need to know :33 milgram means . the universe to me and the characters/song are soso lovely. please tell me if you watch this one i would literally kill to have someone to talk about it with…..

ANYWAYYYY this got very long but i hope that’s okay!!!! more than anything i hope this helps you find your way to a new obsession 🫂🫂 all these anime are super good and precious to me, i’m sure you’ll love them all a lot!!!! hopefully!!!!!!!

What are your thoughts about age-gap romances? I myself I am mostly okay with them (it's all about the execution and how the relationship is potrayed, what it is like etc.) and some of my favorite couples and ships have age-gap, for example Tom and Polly from Fire and Hemlock, Firuka and Hagas from Genbu Kaiden. But due to fandom spaces... I have started to feel quilty and bad for liking some age-gap couples and romances and I wonder if I should stop liking them and if I should age-up my own character from 20 to 28 since the love interest is 32-33 in a fantasy romance I am writing.

Oh my, you know , I saw your ask right after complaining to a friend about fandoms. The timing made me yell. So expect a long answer with my honest thoughts under the cut.

I may have an opinion unpopular in fandom spaces and nowadays overall, but I think that your taste in fiction doesn't necessary reflect your preferences and opinions irl. More than that, I don't think that fiction equals reality and I consider viewing reality through fandom/fiction lenses (and otherwise, evaluating fiction from the point of view of our reality, this time and age) a dangerous simplification. Fiction doesn't have to work by our reality's laws and morals. Reality is much more complicated than any fiction ever written. This is that I think.

As for stories with age gap romances - I don't see it as something necessarily problematic and accusable. I may like them, I may dislike them, or stay neutral - as you said, it depends on how it's written. But I'm gonna say smth that kinda makes me worst person for fandoms: in all honesty, shoujos about teenage girls falling for their teachers, fantasy about 20 y.o. in relationships with immortal creatures, even stories about straight out creepy relationships with age gap don't hurt me and don't make me righteously mad and screaming it gives young people the wrong idea. What doesn't, nowadays? Learning to use your brains and analyze information is still my preferable option. I also don't understand how writing about some not-safe-for-all-audiences themes equals romantization of said themes. I really don't see such stories as a problem or harmful influence, just like any other thing claimed problematic by fandoms tbh. In my experience, most of them are not even close to "excusing age gaps between young ppl and old perverts". This is something totally different.

I think you should write your story as you want, without trying to please everyone and make it safe for everyone, without a mere possibility to trigger smth unpleasant for someone - it's impossible to do that after all. If for some reason your characters must be 20 and 32 years old, so be it. In fantasy I sometimes see examples of bigger age gaps, like "twenty y.o. and a 3000 y.o. magician" which fandom sometimes condemns as problematic bc of said "age gap", and I see that this one potential 3000 y.o. magician is written like a teenage girl and doesn't feel old or not human in the slightest, and it's not about problematicness or age gap at all, even when your mage is not 3000 y.o. but 30-something. It's about your exploring yourself, people and the world through your writing. Maybe, it's about learning to love the world a bit more (true in my case, this is why i'm making my own story I guess), maybe it's about putting yourself in other person's shoes, trying to understand how someone different from you (in age, or status) feels and thinks. Maybe it's about going against fandom morals and hollow accusations you are unhappy with, some kind of protest, I don't know. It may be sublimation, a stupid wish that never came true, a way to get through some traumatic experience, a way to understand your own feelings about this subject and form your opinion, or desire to take this theme and make a good story you can enjoy, finally! None of these makes you a criminal, btw. You may even never understand why exactly you take something for your story or the purpose of writing it at all - and that's okay. You have a personal relationship with your story and not a single person has the right to interfere.

In short, I'm standing firmly on this ground: stories are not our reality, but a way to get to know it and maybe love it. Your preferences in fiction don't necessarily mean it expands to real life. Feeling something good from a story that someone says you are supposed to hate doesn't make you trash. Also, I beg you: don't use fandom categories to deal with reality and don't apply their standards and logic to your opinion about yourself. Fandoms surely make our life funnier sometimes, but they are limited spaces with their own rules and working mechanisms, and they simplify things a lot. I can understand the desire to always have the right and simple answer to everything, and a clear opinion about everything, but life has the habit of walking up to you and smashing your face into situations that can't be defined by simple notions, or even don't let you decide what to accuse and what to excuse (sometimes it's not our place to decide). I don't think you must feel guilty for liking smth in fiction. I stopped caring about it some time ago, when I got that me liking murder ballads by the Decemberists didn't make me a killer, and that I actually don't see the period novels in which women suffer as romantization of women's suffering. And I'm fine with my unpopular perception of fiction and reality.

I wish all the best on your writing.

HI i was gonna tag you at first but i figured it’d be easier to just write here :D i’m sorry in advance if this turns out rly long!! i just really wanna take the time to show my appreciation for everything you said on that satoru piece <33

first of all THANK YOU???? SO MUCH?????? like i literally can’t describe in words how happy it made me to read all you wrote, i was giggling n kicking my feet and everything. no but really tysm!! <3 for being so kind and for taking the time to comment on it so thoughtfully!!! it means so much you have no idea!!!!!!!🥺🥺and pls never apologize for the rambling i got sosososoo happy reading all the lines you liked and all your thoughts, i can’t thank u enough!! <33

i thought you couldn’t top the shoujo anime comment but comparing it to an indie movie scene is. so kind. ”scenes that feel almost stolen if anything” like that’s such a nice thing to say??!!! i was definitely going for that kind of vibe too so i’m so happy it came across well :’3 subtle intimacy is also like. my FAVORITE thing to write ever so i was ecstatic that u enjoyed it!!!!!

oh and the reader too!! i’m so relieved you liked them!! it’s not even intentional atp but every time i write for satoru reader ends up extremely down bad bc my love for him bleeds thru😭😭i’m sick and tired of it tbh but i’m physically incapable of pairing him w anyone who isn’t constantly like ’i love my dumbass bf’….. he deserves to be praised for all he does!! god knows no one else in that series is telling him good job and patting him on the head and giving him treats. smh.

overall i’m just. genuinely so, so happy you liked my take on satoru and love, it’s such a huge part of his character even in canon so i try my best to do it justice!! i feel like satoru would just benefit soooo much from a really sweet, gentle, easygoing love bc like you said he’s just. carrying so much weight on his shoulders, and especially after his love w suguru ended so tragically and was so heavy i just think he’d like something light.

for the record i absolutely adore your take on it too!!! how being loved makes him feel small but not in a bad way, how he feels so safe w you……… how he can just be satoru. like it made me insane when i read it bc you’re so RIGHT. i love your satoru sm, you make him feel so human and capture that vulnerable side of him so well that it kinda hurts to read LMAO… it’s just so…!!!! yeah. it’s so tender and good and achey

aaa and and and…. it makes me so soft that u thought my writing was homey….🥺🥺mine def leans more towards introspective thoughts and feelings too!! it’s just too fun to dig into your fave’s psyche lol.

anyway i feel like i’m just rambling away in your askbox so i’ll leave it there but pls just know how much i love and appreciate you <33 no need to answer this btw i just needed u to know!!!!! i feel like we all need some gojo fluff after those leaks LMAOO (i am in extreme misery) so i hope the fic could be a small comfort…… i’m just here writing sickeningly fluffy gojo content to distract myself from the manga atp…………

hi darlin omg 🥺 help we’re both just apologising for rambling on eachothers pages omg 😭 pls don’t apologise aaah!!! this is so so sweet of you 🥺

OF COURSE i had to comment thoughtfully on your fic omg it’s what you deserve!!! 🥺 it rlly tickled so many parts of my brain when it came to understanding satoru’s perspective!! tugged at my heart just as much too 🥺 i love introspective works a lot 🤧

i’m so happy i was able to get the vibe of it right too omg 🥺 as a reader who writes i think i get a lot more conscious now if what i understabd overlaps with what the writer is trying to portray omg akksnxkd but yes subtle intimacy omg 🥺

and yes to lovesick reader too 😭😭 i enjoy all dynamics but i have an extremely soft spot for when both are whipped for one another and for satoru especially !!!! our baby boy 🥺

& re: satoru and love, i think so too !!! i think that guy needs some luvin in his life and it shouldn’t be any more difficult than all the shit he’s been thru already 😭 that lil scene u added the ‘be careful satoru’ one i think omfg IT ACHED

AND AAAAH how u like my satoru too omg 🥺 thank u thank u 🥺 that’s such a compliment!! tender and achey 🥹 i do try to humanise him as much as i can so i’m glad it came across 🥹 ur satoru 🤝 my satoru 🥹🫶🏻

i hope u’re ok after the leaks!!! i’ve also just been thinking up all the fluffiest, most comforting ideas to cope 🤧 josnxkdn

read ‘i’ll relearn love at our kitchen table’ (super soft n comforting gojo!!! ☹️ tugged at my heart!!!!)

[isagisyoichi]

WE TOGETHER!

SYNOPSIS: random headcanons i have ab blue lock

CHARACTERS INCLUDED: isagi, bachira, nagi, rin, sae, reo, raichi, imamura, niko, shidou, igaguri, nanase, kunigami, yukimiya, tabito

WARNINGS: swearing but that's it

A/N: thank you for the kind words anon MWAH <3 sorry this took so long to write GAH but it was really fun to write tysm for the request :3 also i have no reasoning for almost any of these other than thats the vibe i get 😭😭

DONT REPOST WITHOUT MY PERMISSION.

ISAGI YOICHI:

literally only owns socks meant for playing sports and nothing else. he could literally be getting married and underneath his 3 piece suit are long black nike socks from the ninth grade 😐

strikes me as the type to not like skipping class because he doesn't wanna get in trouble but he tries to play it off as him just thinking it's stupid so people don't think he's lame 😭

whenever he plays uno with his friends, isagi’s the one that they choose to gang up on and gets hit him with all the +4 cards

isagi always ends up with like 50 cards at the end of the game DNDIORNRFJD

heavy sigh ... his favorite anime girls are zero two and mai. this physically pained me to write, someone please show this man a good shoujo/romance anime

his instagram bio is like actually a bio 😭 it's something like "Inchinan HS Forward #10 ⚽️" who cares isagi tell me a joke or something important like how tall you are 🙄

NAGI SEISHIRO

i seriously think that nagi’s terrified of big dogs LMAO

like nagi doesn’t mind chihuahuas or little weiner dogs or whatever but as soon as he sees something like a rottweiler or a pitbull, he’s crossing the street 💀

the funny thing is, he won't admit that he's scared either 😭😭 then why did we cross the street for no reason HUH NAGI 🎤⁉️

he plays league of legends and his set up comes with a light up keyboard, gamer chair, a dual screen monitor, and discord nitro. do what you want with this information.

if you ever play a song that nagi doesn’t know, but he ends up liking, he will never ever ask you for the name of the song 💀💀

he’ll shazam it, youtube it, google the lyrics, do everything except just ask what the song is called because nagi is not giving anyone the satisfaction of knowing they put him on 💀💀

BACHIRA MEGURU

wears athletic shorts and a hoodie in like 20° weather and claims to never be cold. please make him wear a jacket before he contracts some kind of winter related ailment

i feel like he loves candy lol but mom doesn’t let him have that much because the sugar rush he gets is absolutely insane

like bachira starts bouncing off the walls and starts to claim he can taste colors and smell sounds kinda sugar rush

when he does manage to stay up late, bachira is definitely the kid that whispers “pee pee” when everyone’s trying to go to bed at a sleepover

it definitely makes bachira die of laughter, but for everyone else trying to get some shut eye at 3am, not so much

i talked about this once before but i just know his fingers were always sticky when he was a baby 😭 there was always cheeto dust mixed with some other unknown substance on his hands

RAICHI JINGO

bye he’s one of goku’s boyfriends 😐

“can he beat goku?” “he’s not seeing goku🔥” “goku bodies your fav🐐” okay cool but why are you bringing that up in the comment section of a tiktok about oikawa tooru

oh brother, he takes gym way too seriously. if you’re ever on his team and aren’t athletic, just pack it up cause raichi will yell at you for not wanting to play soccer at 8am in 20° weather 😐 get him help!!!!!!!

idk if you guys know what this is but i seriously think he had yubo at a point in time 💀💀💀

also slaps the tops of door frames when he walks into rooms like we get it you're tall we don't care!!!!

omg no cause raichi loves to think he's hot shit but he's the type to stutter like crazy when he talks to a girl when he actually likes 💀

really into movies like fast and the furious. he can't even drive but raichi swears he could smoke anyone in a street race 😭

ITOSHI RIN

if you ever tell him he looks like he can’t swim, rin’s genuinely going to get mad 😭

“what the fuck does that even mean? i can fucking swim, i’ll show you.”

he literally makes you go to the pool with him and watch him do some kind of olympic swim routine just so he can prove himself 💀

rin doesn’t know how to whistle but sae does and it makes rin so mad whenever he remembers RNDKKRMTKRK

i talked about this once too but i feel like he and sae weren't allowed to watch spongebob as kids and that's why they’re like that

rin's an awfullllll texter. he's so dry and he often tends to reply hours later to the point where you just wanna give up on the conversation completely 😭

its like half because rin doesn’t really care lollll and half because hes just like not good at texting, rin’s just much better on facetime or talking on the phone

ITOSHI SAE

one of the best at flirting out of everyone in blue lock i will die on this hill

but sae almost never flirts with anyone because he's never interested in someone that much lolll. but if he really wanted to, sae could make anyone swoon in under a second, he just knows what to say

(that and sae he knows he's attractive which adds on to his charisma, so 😐)

he can do the one handed reverse thing when he drives where he has one hand on the wheel and the other on the back of your chair eieojfoej hes so fine

unlike his brother, sae’s actually a pretty good texter. he’s able to keep the conversation going with his dry humor and witty one liners :P

oh he definitely has a finsta idc. soccer star or or not he's still a teenager ik he has one. he has like 12 people on his finsta because his main instagram account has too many people on it and sae doesn't want anything about his life to be known to all those people😭

sae doesn't even post on his main unless it's for a sponsorship that he legally has to post for anyways so 💀

but anyways, his finsta is actually pretty entertaining lol. like, doesn't air out any of his business cause he's smarter than that but, sae's daily rants are funny to read and he's naturally entertaining tbh

MIKAGE REO

LOL i feel like he’s in key club or some shit because it’ll look good on his college transcript

i feel like he knows how to play piano or something like that because his parents forced it upon him but he’s actually decent tbh

reo smells really good all the time. money may not be able to buy happiness, but it sure as fuck can buy the nicest smelling cologne out there. he doesn’t go overboard with it, so it’s like just enough that you can smell it, but it doesn't suffocate you

i have also talked about this but reo’s instagram comments are full of the “this isnt the caption i picked” “best friend” “loser” comments from girls. proceed with caution y’all ...

i feel like he's the type to watch kdramas and stuff casually idk just a hunch. i feel like he liked something like itaewon class

CHIGIRI HYOUMA

huge piano kid energy from this one as well but i feel like chigiri’s like resentful about it like he hates it OMFOSSJDJDN which is a shame because he’s actually pretty good as well

i get the vibes like he’s rich not like reo rich but well off for sure tbh like he definitely owned sperrys and has been on a yacht at a point in time

this is just a gut feeling but i feel like chigiri’s really good at holding grudges. like both big and little ones 😭

legend has it chigiri still holding onto a grudge from the third grade when some kid accidentally broke his favorite crayon

i feel like chigiri's would actually get along pretty well with girls. speaking from experience, he just has a personality that girls tend to become friends with 😭 idk if this even makes sense HEUIDEJEN

that and girls like his hair, so :P

NIKO IKKI

i could talk about him all day hiiiii i love him

ok anyways- i actually think he gets really nervous when he gets romantic attention :’) he gets surprised bc he’s not used to it, so he gets shy and starts to trip over his words, and stuff like that <\3

with that being said, i read a hc like way long ago about niko being actually being rly sensitive, just good at hiding it until he gets overwhelmed, and i feel like that makes a lot of sense especially cause he’s an aquarius lol

i feel like he’s one of those kids that refuses to download tiktok because he thinks it’s stupid like ok fine whatever ceo of maturity 💔

or social media in general, he thinks most of it is stupid 😭 the only social media niko truly uses is instagram for his friends, significant other, and the soccer highlights accounts he follows 😭

biggg star wars fan for sure. like niko just has the personality of a boy who likes star wars 😭 but adding onto that , he's definitely into stuff like into aerospace and stem awww my little einstein bae

IMAMURA YUUDAI

lemme say it right now, he’s a “where’s my hug at?” “get to class loser” “i’m so ugly i’ll never get a girlfriend 🥺” kind of boy LMAO

his tiktok bio definitely says “downloaded this as a joke and now i’m addicted” and tries to get famous but he averages like 20 likes per post and it’s just sad to see

definitely one of those asian boys that gets a perm and then lies about it being his real hair as if everyone hasn’t already seen his natural straight hair for YEARS

big 88rising and jay park fan. yeah LMAO

always asking for gum. like always. go buy your own bro i don't even know you stop asking 😭

SHIDOU RYUSEI

please he’s the type to flirt with you by shutting your computer screen in class or taking your phone. he’s lucky he’s hot cause that’s so lame 😭

please he’s the type of person to playfully tease you for being prepared for school bye

“look who brought a poster board to school🤣” LIKE YEAH I HAD TO?;$&,&!;

i also feel like he's the kind of guy that's friends with a lot of girls idk like i can just see him getting along with girls really well, has a good sense of humor and always cracking jokes

i'm watching jjk as i'm writing this but i think ryusei would like jjk 👍 as he should. i think he'd just be a shounen fan all around tbh i see him liking stuff like bleach and knb

i feel like ryusei can also dress really well and that his lips are never chapped. good for him tbh

NARUHAYA ASAHI

if you make tiktoks during class i feel like he’s the type to join in and start dancing with you lollll he’s so cute please

you guys know that game, “heads up, seven up?” where your head was down and if you got picked you had to guess who picked you?

yeah i feel like naruhaya cheated when he played by at peeking at people's shoes 💀

i feel like he had a musical.ly phase and was actually kinda good at them too RNDKRMRN

he’s the “if the teacher isn’t here in fifteen minutes we’re legally allowed to leave 😁” kid

the type to have full meals in the back of class 😭 once he brought soup to class like how is that even possible

NANASE NIJIROU

most likely to accidentally join a pyramid scheme because he has no idea what those are (twins i still don’t know what those are either)

best wedding date you could possibly have because a) he’s adorable and adults love him b) he’s easy to talk to and c) he’s so fun plz like he’ll for sure pull you on the dance floor to start dancing, you’re gonna have the time of your life with him tbh

i feel like he’s that underclassmen that upperclassmen love to dote on, yk? like some third year definitely “adopted” nanase as their favorite first year or something and have inserted him into their friend group

i think he would enjoy going to places like theme parks or trampoline parks with his friends :]

KUNIGAMI RENSUKE

early riser. he’s the type to like wake up at 6am on a saturday and get ready, have breakfast, go on a run, do some chores, read a book, and it's all before like noon jesus christ

he won't wake you up if you're the type to wake up in the afternoon, but kunigami is so like ??? at how can possibly sleep for so long 😭

if you ask him for the homework answers, he’s going to be like “i’ll help you with it :)” and although that’s very sweet, the whole reason you asked for the answers is because you didn't wanna do any work 😭😭

i feel like he’s a good cook awwwww and that he's well liked by teachers because of his honest attitude and the fact that he's generally easy to get along with

cat person but doesn’t mind dogs but he just overall prefers cats

YUKIMIYA KENYU

smooth talker idc idc, i know he has game!!!! and i feel like he’s like sae in the way they're both aware they’re good looking, but yuki’s more humble ab it 😭

his hair smells sooo nice and it’s probably well taken care of too

has an attractive laugh like idk LIKE IT'S JUST NICE TO HEAR and the way he laughs is just really attractive too

i can totally see yuki being good at and liking other sports, other than just soccer. i could see him being a basketball fan tbh

this one isn't technically about yukimiya but i just know tabito and eita have a lot to say about yuki's sports goggles 💀💀💀 they crack jokes about it all the time and sometimes nagi will join in, too

his close friends story on instagram goes crazy 😩 he's so naturally funny and he posts sm selfies on there, you guys are missing out 😩

TABITO KARASU

i feel like his notes look like literal shit and they’re understandable only to him but, tabito still has good grades

i feel like he and eita would do some stupid shit like switch names when there’s a sub in class like it makes any difference 💀💀 she doesn’t know either of you it literally does not matter

just the vibe i get from him but i think he's good at card games, stuff like poker and stuff idk (his kakegurui moment 😍)

his family got an air fryer and tabito hasn't looked back since. please take that thing away from him, he's making eggs in there 😐

IGARASHI GURIMU

he was one of those kids that when he was playing tag and when someone would tag him, igaguri would be like “i’m not playing anymore 😡” DUDE THAT'S THE POINT OF THE GAME?

100% cuts you in line at lunch, like really? all that for some remicrowaved pizza and milk? come on now igaguri 😕

he was a jake pauler. most definitely. unironically enjoyed “it’s everyday bro” and defended jake paul like his life depended on it😭😭

pretends to be your friend when you bring like cupcakes or smth for your birthday to school knowing damn well he’s never spoken to you a day in his life

[niuniente]

Well we're clearly synced! Cause I've already watched Death parade and death billiard and I loved it. I'm planning to watch Jujutsu Kaisen. Bleach is just kinda too long for me. But yea I agree, I don't get picky with anime but I just dont get hooked on them easily like before, I just watch them and nothing

Anything else?

Noo, don’t let Bleach scare you like that...! Half of it are fillers, really, and the good parts stop around the middle of the series, so you “have to” watch:

Watch episodes 1-32

Skip episode 33

Pick up at episodes 34-49

Skip episode 50

Pick up at episodes 51-63

Skip the complete “The Bount” and “The Assault” arcs till episode 110

Pick up at episodes 110-127

Skip episodes 128-137

Pick up at episodes 138-167

Skip the complete “The New Captain Shūsuke Amagai” arc

Pick up at episodes 190-203

Skip 204-205

Pick up at episodes 206-212

Skip 213-214

So 116 episodes and you have seen the best of Bleach and can ignore the rest if you ask me. (And you will LOVE Grimmjow if you liked Bruno!)

Anyway, if I can recommend any series, here we go:

MUSHISHI The world is filled with Mushi creatures which intervene with daily lives of human while Ginko travels to safe humans from Mushi’s influence. A wonderful series if you love traditional old Japan and Japanese folklore stories. Does contain elements of horror.

SAMURAI CHAMPLOO Fuu hires two guys Jin and Mugen to find a samurai who smells like sunflowers. This is an unique and fun series, and one of my all time favorites.

SPACE DANDY This is also one of my all time faves. The best thing in Dandy is that every single episode is directed, animated, scripted and composed by a different team. Art styles and story telling varies and each episode is a story of its own. Everything and anything can happen in Space Dandy from finding the best ramen in the universe to dance offs, from zombie apocalypse to high school musical, and from saving a damsel in distress in a fake-date story to a calendar which refuses to change the day to tomorrow.

GINGA NAGAREBOSHI GIN This series has a HUGE cult status in Finland and pretty much everyone of my generation and the one after mine has seen this (and been traumatized by it lol). It follows old Japanese samurai honors and warrior spirit, capturing extremely well the Japanese mentality of never giving up no matter what. The story follows Gin, a dog who joins a pack of wild dogs. Bears are killing people and the dogs have decided to gather together the bravest and the strongest warrior dogs around the whole Japan to a final showdown with the bears and end their terror for good. It has blood, it has gore but if you can take them, a biiiiig recommendation for this old vintage anime. Take tissues with you as you WILL cry a lot! I have a feeling you would like these Kai Brothers as well as Kurojaki.

DEVILMAN If you haven’t seen Devilman Crybaby yet, do it! Also check the movies from the 80′s which follow the manga. For me, Sirene was treated badly in Crybaby (Ryo, too) but their characters are much better in the 80′s Devilman movies.

GEKKAN SHOUJO NOZAKI-KUN This is one of those happy mood series where you can laugh a lot. A big smile for this one!

MIDORI NO HIBI (OR MIDORI’S DAYS) Listen. This is a weird series. A weird synopsis of a girl Midori, who somehow one day wakes up as her crush’s, Seiji’s, right hand. But it is so darn adorable and cute and funny! I don’t know if I will ever love any series as much as I love Midori no Hibi. I rewatch it regularly. It also has the best anime cat.

MADE IN ABYSS I was recommended this series with a warning “Watch it only if you can take bad things happening to children”. They weren’t lying! This series is very grim and dark but just what I like.

THE PROMISED NEVERLAND (ONLY SEASON 1!!) Watch only season 1 from this! The second season is a mess where they squeezed the whole frigging manga into 2 seconds, skipped 70 arcs and important world building, and ruined things so bad that no one wanted to take responsibility for the script in the final episode credits. Basically tried to put 4 seasons worth of stuff into 11 episodes. This series is also dark and grim thriller but the 2nd season is like switching from Alien-movie to Teletubbies. The first season works as its own story and it is captivating. Then, continue manga from CH38 forward.

Manga Master List: Recommendations and My Personal Wish List

!!//PLEASE READ//!!

Below is every manga from my amazon wishlist I would recommend(as of February 11 2021) with a picture and a 3-5 sentence explanation of what the manga is about. Underneath will also be the number of volumes I have read, the number I own, and it’s status of ongoing or complete and how many volumes it has. This way you can decide for yourself if you think I have read enough of it to give an accurate recommendation.

This list only includes manga you can purchase (including digital purchases) from the wishlist. I decided that I would in fact include my personal amazon manga wishlist here and at the bottom for people to buy THEMSELVES a copy of any of these manga they would like. Keep in mind many of these won’t have volume 1 in the list but you should be able to get to the series page from the list. If a manga shows up on the amazon list that I did not include in this one that is because I have not read enough of them(or any of them) to recommend. Ok? Cool, enjoy the list!!

1. The Girl from the Other side is about a little girl living with a gentleman monster. It is a supernatural mystery with beautiful art.

Series: Ongoing at 9 volumes

2. Pumpkin Scissors is a military fantasy about a War Veteran named Randal Oland who joins the pumpkin scissors core to help with war relief and uncover the deep corruption of the government. It is similar in themes to FMA in the sense it appears to be based on a World War, and corruption of government but it more focused on the power of the noble houses in government. There is also a fun science element but it is not as in focus as in FMA. The two but are very very different overall tho. Only 5 volumes were distributed in physical English copies as the publishing company went bankrupt, all others are only available digitally. (I couldn’t get the manga vol. 1 cover to work so the picture above is a poster for the anime)

3. Monthly Girls Nozaki-kun is a slice of life about a bunch of highschoolers. Nozaki is the mangaka of a popular Shoujo manga who uses his personal experiences with friends to create his monthly comic series. It is a fun gender stereotype reversal manga with a large cast of both male and female characters (one could be HC as genderfluid but she’s still canonically female at this time) The manga is one of the easiest to read as the panels are mostly in straight down rectangles so the pages are extremely easy to follow and is very funny.

4. Yu-Gi-Oh! is well known to be about the card game yu-gi-oh, using magic and myths to further the story, HOWEVER, Yu-gi-oh! is the “Season 0″ of the series it is much darker than to be expected and there is no card game. The Yu-gi-oh most are familiar with is Yu-gi-oh Duelist (just found this out myself) and is the Yu-gi-oh you probably already know. There is no overarching plot to this mini series it is just Yugi fucking shit up playing games and destroying some bullies. I have yet to read any of Duelist as of the creation of this post therefore I cannot recommend it :/

5. The Way of the House Husband is about a former yakuza who gets married and flips his script. He becomes a house husband for his working wife and carries on doing chores and errands while still looking and acting scary unintentionally and getting himself in trouble. It is a slice of life comedy with some adult jokes but is over all extremely funny and pleasant to read.

6. Hikaru no Go is about a highschool boy who finds a haunted Go board. He meets the ghost who once was a prolific Go player. Together they work to become a world class Go champion meeting new people along the way. This series was cut short due to legal issues with a real Go player and therefore will remain unfinished but the story that is there is golden. It is still one of the most popular manga in Japan.

7. Zatch Bell! This manga is about a teenager named Kiyo who gets sent a young boy with amnesia named Zatch Bell who turns out to be an alien called a momodo. Now the two must battle other momodo in order to understand what happened to Zatch and to make Zatch the new king. Along the way they make many friends and save both the momodo and human worlds. This one is difficult because it is a classic that did not do well in America so the volumes are expensive and the series is unfinished in English. You can only buy 27 of the volumes in English and a few of them are almost impossible to find, however it is well worth the money if you can afford it and it is available online.

8. Fullmetal Alchemist is a cult classic most have read it, watched the series, or heard of it at the very least. This is one of the most popular Manga of all time and for good reason. The manga is about 2 brothers Alphonse and Edward on a journey to return their bodies to normal after committing the taboo of human transmutation. The manga has themes of racism, government corruption and manipulation of the military. The versions on my wishlist are the special Fullmetal Editions so they will have a different price point and volume number than the regular volumes or the omnibuses’

9. Princess Jellyfish is about a young woman who is sort of an outcast otaku living with 5 other otaku women. She has a deep love for jellyfish as they remind her of her late mother. She meets a beautiful woman who turns out to be a male college student and slowly comes out of her shell making new friends and growing with old ones as well. This manga is very sweet and I really don’t know what else to say haha.

10. !!!HUGE TW FOR EATING DISORDERS!!! In Clothes Called Fat is a, oneshot, non romanticizing story of an office woman trying to lose weight and developing several eating disorders in the process. She goes through hardships in relationships and bullying as well. It has a bittersweet ending and should be read with caution but it is beautifully done. Please do not read this if you are under the age 16 at the very youngest there are NSFW moments as well as just generally not being a topic for younger audiences.

11. My LOVE Story!! Is an adorable Slice of Life shojo about a highschooler named Takeo Gouda, his girlfriend Yamato, and his best friend and hear throb Suna. This series is rather refreshing as the relationship starts pretty much immediately, the best friend is very supportive, and it is focused on Takeo’s personality over looks as he is often compared in manga to a gorilla or bear. It is a generally heart warming story with some emotional side plots. The ending is sort of sudden but it’s really enjoyable.

12. Soul Eater is pretty popular but if you don’t know what it is about it is about a Weapon named Soul and his Meister Maka. They attend a school that teaches them how to defeat people before they turn into Demons, saving the world in the process. Once a weapon eats 100 evil souls and a witches soul they can become the new death Scythe! That is the plot presented, and it of course goes off into a much more complicated storyline. It is super fun and engaging with a fascinating plot near the end.

13. D. Gray-Man is a little complicated. Similarly to Soul Eater D. Gray-Man is a story based around defeating people turned demon and the saving of the world through an organization, however the plot gets very complicated very quickly. The art is some of the most interesting and beautifully fun art I’ve come across and the characters are (so far as I’ve read) all amazing. The story has a lot of christian influence and is one you have to really keep up with to understand but I recommend it regardless!

14. One-Punch Man is also very popular and is about a man who becomes so strong he only needs to punch you once to completely annihilate you, and it greatly annoys him. This manga greatly touches on the themes of self worth as Saitama becomes a hero that no one seems to want. The fights are fun and engaging, tho at times can be difficult to read. The art is gorgeous, with some of the most heavily detailed work I have ever seen.

15. The Boy and The Beast is the manga adaptation of the movie by the same name. This is a bittersweet story about a boy who finds a family in the land of the beasts and the repercussions of this intermixing. It is sweet and sad and there’s not much else to say, but that it is a beautifully crafted story.

16. MAR is not a manga I should be recommending as I genuinely don’t think I have read enough of the story to do so but I love it so much I’m going to anyway. MAR is a classic Isekai Shonen, a kid goes through a door into another world and has to fight a war to save it, there is a super fun magic system and some wonderful story building with genuinely enjoyable characters and battles. I am recommending this more based off the anime than the manga itself because it was one of my absolute favorites when I was younger, so take from that what you will! This manga has the same issue Zatch Bell does however, the series did not do amazingly so the volumes can be expensive!

Thank you for your time haha! I hope you liked the list, here is my wishlist again and if you have any questions please let me know!! I will try to keep this master list updated as it and the wishlist will only continue to grow, but I make no promises for doing it often. Making this took me a very long time so I hope you like it!

ALL FUCKIN 35 OF THEM SKLNWESDJFPXO

I SHOULDVE EXPECTED THIS FROM YOU

1. From one to five stars, how would you rate your writing? (No downplaying yourself!)

A three! I think I’m mid range cause I ain’t terrible but there is still shit I gotta improve and grow in my writing

2. Why do you write fanfiction?

to manifest what canon won’t give me and to write more! (though yes it is mainly about the smooching and the— I’ll stop there LOL)

3. What do you think makes your writing stand out from other works?

Hm! My weird research details? I’m that “fun fact, did you know...” in my fics sometimes LOL! I plan on giving a penthouse for erina in a fic and I went through penthouse listings in Japan for floor layouts and locations💀 my research gives me inspo and depth to stuff I think I lack in comparison to others sometimes.

4. Are there any writers that inspire you?

In terms of fellow fic writers, one of them I can’t name here but she’s an inspiration with her exceptional gift for prose period and her lovely skill at comedy! I want to be as funny as her when I write, I love her ironic situational humor. Other fic writers are @takoyakitenchou, @royaldragonsevgisi15 who I always love sharing ideas with and motivate me to create more! For non-fic writers it would be V.E. Schwab, Leigh Bardugo, Oda, and Horikoshi! The last two may be mangaka, however they are writers as well to create their stories! The depth these creators have given their worlds and interesting characters theyve given life to are all what I aspire to be like!

5. What’s the fic you’re most proud of?

so far uh?? hm everything I’m currently writing are wips lol!! im proud of my wip that has been nicknamed ‘soma panics’ that is a multi-chapter fic that spans like probs 20 plus chapters maybe

6. What element of writing do you find comes easily?

dialogue! it’s so much fun! and character thoughts. I’ve said to people I may be better suited for script writing

7. What element of writing do you struggle with most?

I think it’s description, of like setting and showing action. also an expansion of my vocabulary LOL

8. Which character(s) do you find easiest to write?

erina! I think it’s because canon has shown us many of her different faces and range of emotion.

9. Which character(s) do you find most difficult to write?

SOMA!! chill ass mofo whos more carefree compared to the common shonen protagonist! for other shokugeki characters I’m not sure just yet because I haven’t flexed my fingers enough for the rest of them.

10. What’s your favorite genre to write for?

I guess I should say romance cause that’s what I mostly write LOL!

11. Who or what do you find yourself writing about most?

sorina and I try to get them to smooch eventually KEK and yeah it’s..usually romantic fluff lmao

12. Tell us about a WIP you’re excited about.

HONESTLY ALL OF THEM but “soma panics” is my brain child

13. First fandom you ever wrote for?

pretty sure it’s digimon....

14. What’s your favorite fandom to write for?

currently shokugeki no soma!!!!

15. What’s the weirdest fandom you’ve ever written for?

uhhhh I guess SNS? LMAO fandoms...all have their quirks to them.

16. Any guilty pleasure trope(s)?

characters cuddling!!!! or getting the urge to smooch!!!!

17. A trope you’ll never, ever write for.

unrequited love GOOD FUCKIN BYEEEEEE

18. Wildest fic you’ve ever written?

I have plot ideas thst can be wild potentially but so far nothing fits this criteria so far that I actually have written.

19. Do you prefer canon-compliant, AUs, or something in-between?

depends on the fandom, but if written well, all of it!

20. Gen fic or shippy stuff?

shippy 100% like I said I like smoochin

21. Favorite pairing to write for? (platonic or romantic!)

romantic is...*drumroll* SORINA! platonic, soutaku and erina and alice!

22. Do you listen to anything while you write?

Sometimes! There are times songs will be on loop and times I just shuffle a playlist. and if I’m writing in random bursts it’ll be with no music but it really does depend lmao I think music is when I’m forcing myself to write?

23. Do you prefer prompts and challenges, or completely independent ideas?

completely independent ideas, I’ve realized in the past prompts shoot me in the foot often unless I luckily figure something out. but I’m often driven by my own sporadic self interest with shitty ping ponging attention

24. One-shots or multi-chaptered works?

multi-chap I guess cause I can post without being finished LOLLL but tbh can I really answer? I haven’t finished anything.....

25. Have you ever daydreamed about side adventures/spin-offs from your fic? Tell us about them!

I can’t answer this question imo because I haven’t finished a fic yet so technically stuff could all fit in the one fic?

26. Is there anything you’ve wanted to write, but you’ve been too scared to try?

MYSTERY AND CRIME! I love the genre and I have plot ideas once a blue moon but I can’t dive in because I want to make details that work and reduce plot holes where suspension of disbelief isn’t as needed. I need to study it more (I need to study all the details for any of my fics imo to be confident sometimes LOL)

27. What’s the nicest comment you’ve ever received?

I don’t think I can say one comment was the nicest because I’ve gotten comments that have given me quite the smiles to my face many times! I know this is a cop out but it’s true!

IS WHAT I WAS GONNA SAY UNTIL REINA SENT ME THE FOLLOWING ON DISCORD LIKE TWENTY MINS AGO:

and also rad. i am never this vocal about my emotions like EVER but this needs to be said your fics are obviously far from perfect, as are mine and everyone else's. but the thing about your works is that they're so well-sanded that it's impossible to find any rough edges or faults in them in terms of cohesion to a plot. your cast is never OOC and the amount of effort you devote to developing your takes on the characters as accurately as possible is unimaginably awe-inspiring.

BITCH I WANNA CRY 😭

28. How well do you handle criticism when it comes to your writing?

I’d like to believe I take it often well to try and improve because that’s always my goal. if someone is rude lol that’s not constructive snd is unhelpful. If I disagree with criticism I’ll explain why !

29. Have you ever gone outside of your comfort zone for a fic? How did it turn out?

Not yet, but I have some plot ideas I think will let me test this.

30. Tooth-rotting fluff or merciless angst?

F L U F F.

31. Do you have any OCs? Tell us about them!

elliott fuji, a japanese-american award winning photographer who is erina’s boyfriend in ‘soma panics’ which..causes soma’s panic LOL he’s 30 with slightly wavy black hair. I still haven’t pinpointed his personality just yet...he kind of humble brags for sure an artsy fucker and flirts maybe I’ll make him a lil shy though. he teaches sometimes, and becomes an adjunct photography professor in Tokyo so he can be with erina.

32. Summarize a random fic of yours in 10 words or less.

a cook is unfashionably late in realizing his feelings.

33. Is there anything you wish your audience knew about your writing or writing process?

I am a slow. so slow. motivation who is she? I also write out of order, unfortunately a bit too often.

34. Copy and paste an excerpt you’re particularly fond of.

this should be for the fic ‘soma panics’ it’s either megumi or satoshi talkin to him rn, I’m leaning towards satoshi

“You thought she would always wait for you, didn’t you Soma-kun? To always welcome you home.”

Soma drags his palms down his face and groans. He doesn’t like this at all. He doesn’t shy from confrontation but this is a whole different ballgame. Soma doesn’t play any ball.

“I guess..?” Is his reply, because he thinks he isn’t sure how to answer that.

“You guess?”

Just being questioned again is enough to crack Soma’s pathetic facade as if it was dropped chinaware and he lets out the longest sigh.

“No.”

Coming home means coming home to Nakiri Erina too.

Nakiri Erina is his forever.

this is @takoyakitenchou’s excerpt she’s most proud of that I’ve written, which is also from you guessed it, the long fic soma panics

SOMA: I am, I mean I will be, I swear I will always come home to you, not spend as much time abroad, once I’m done with work I’ll come right back. I’ll make sure to message you. Nakiri, I’m in love you with you. Maybe for a really long time. You know how I say I dedicate my food to you? My dad—my dad said that the key to become a good chef is to find someone to dedicate your cooking to. A special someone. For my dad it was my mom, you know? For me it’s...

(this is a good piece of dialogue tbh so I am also proud of this)

35. Ramble about any fic-related thing you want!

I’ve mentioned it throughout this but the WIP I’ve nicknamed ‘soma panics’ is something I’m super excited to write, but it’s going on slowly...and almost completely out of order. out of all of my writing it showed off that particular habit of mine, along with “what is this, a shoujo manga?!” though the latter is currently being written chronologically now that I’ve posted chapter one and is pretty solid in direction. it was originally supposed to be a one shot but I got impatient and wanted to post at least something for the sorina / soueri fandom.

however, because ‘soma panics’ (I won’t call it that LOL) is my baby I want to keep true to my rule of refusing to post it until I have a draft of the entire fic finished and I’m satisfied with the main points pretty much. due to my writing out of order, I’m worried I’ll change my mind about scenes or want to reflect things in earlier chapters for later ones etc etc

I joined the SnS fandom extremely late, as season five was airing. I was a fan of the manga five years ago and dropped it because I forgot to check for updates when I caught up 😔 I really want to bang out the different fics and aus for sorina that I have before the fandom fizzles out entirely but tbh I’m writing for myself, I’m manifesting what I want to see and I’ll just share it with all my friends to read if no one else will. cause I’m slow broski I dunno what writing fast even is like LMAO I do really want to write faster though, so I can contribute more and let the words free from the discord dms....

Top 50 NaLu Anime Moments {Pt 2}.

Read pt 1 here.

Without any further delay, let’s get back to my top 50 anime nalu moments, and today we cover moments 40 up till 31! This part of the list is probably the most fluffy one, as it’s about to get kinda angsty from the next part on, but hey, let us enjoy our small moment of happiness.

40. Lucy's naked bell roll with Natsu. (Ep 194).

And we starting off kinda kinky, but hey, it’s a form of love, lol. Anyways, I truly love this moment because it was one of the first where you could start seeing that Natsu was actually attracted to Lucy. The anime didn’t include it (idk why) but in the manga he gets all blushy after having his face and hands rubbed in every single inch of naked Lucy, and I loved seeing how he reacted to it. And the first official boob grope (!!!) that results in Natsu getting slapped, which he deserved, lol. While not the only one, this is probably the most fanservice NaLu moment you’re gonna get on this list, so don’t worry, I didn’t include all the boob/@ss gropping scenes, I just really love this one especially.

39. “If any of you bastards hurt Lucy, I will turn all of you to dust.” (Ep 83).

Okay, but listen! As... as an honorary Natsu fan, I love when he gets all serious and goes all out on his enemies, and this scene, esp for someone who was slowly losing hope on this ship, really fired me up! It’s moments like this one where you can see how Natsu really cares for Lucy, at the point of injuring himself in the process. And the line, I love that line so much! I often use it in gifsets I make because I adore how protective he is of Lucy, even now that she’s able to fully defend herself, he still... wow. At last, I like this scene because it showcases how close they are and how much Lucy means to Natsu; ofc he’d be upset if any of his other friends got hurt, but y’all know he’s especially protective of Lucy and has been for a while, even back when the ship was only platonic, and there is a reason for it.

38. “Someone give us hope.” (Ep 119).

As I’ve commented on this moment before, I don’t have anything much different to add this time, only that it gets to my heart how much trust these two have in each other, and how much they inspire each other. I chose this moment because it’s one of the most obvious to how Natsu and Lucy’s relationship works: they give each other strength. When one is feeling down or hopeless, the other will step up and stand by their side. It’s a beautiful cycle between them. Zeref commented once that Lucy was a cheerful person, who had a huge impact on Natsu’s growth, and he ain’t wrong about that. This moment is proof of it.

37. “Let’s reform our team.” (Ep 109).

Or in Kain’s words, Natsu and Lucy getting all “flirty and hot”. God, I love Tenrou Island arc. Not only it’s what turned me into a hardcore nalu shipper, but it’s also great storytelling, and very compelling fights. The choice to combine Natsu and Happy with Lucy vs Kain and Ultear was a great one, considering they’d been kinda distant from each other since Edolas and had not really interacted much, and even during arcs like Oracion Seis and Edolas, which had been successors of the Fantasia and Tower of Heaven arcs, which barely had any Nalu in it, it felt like a breath of fresh air to see them together again and staying together, like the team they’d been since the beginning. It also showed how in sync they are with each other and how well they work together. Truly one of the things that made Tenrou Island such a great arc.

36. “Lucy, come home already.” (OVA 4).

Words cannot describe how much I cherish this omake, or in this case, the ova, where Lucy follows Natsu to find out where he and Happy live. For those of you who have not watched it, it’s set in a flashback where Lucy tells the girls about the day she followed her two lousy friends to get revenge on them for always breaking in her house; she successfully finds their house, and there she finds out Natsu keeps memories of all the jobs he’d gone to, two of which include the first job he and Lucy ever went in together and her old maid outfit, which brings a sweet smile to her face. Despite finding their house, Lucy’s plan to surprise them fails because they never show up, so she goes back to her apartment. And, surprise surprise, that’s where Natsu and Happy had been all this time. And we’re left with the heartwarming conclusion that, although they annoy the fck outta her, eat all her food, mess up her stuff, and hog her bed all to themselves, Lucy loves having them around. They turn her house into a home, they give her someone to come home to, they give her all the company she never had when she was a child. ‘Twas a very nice conclusion to the story, and served as a nice confirmation to something we’d always suspected.

35. Watch Out for the Guy You Like! (Ep 50).

This, in my opinion, is one of the most hilarious FT episodes; even though it results with Lucy finding out all her delusions of Natsu were, well, just delusions, and Natsu just wanted her help to dig a hole, I have so much fun watching those delusions, watching Lucy stop for a moment to actually consider being with Natsu; I think it’s what opened the door to her crush, even if she completely closed her eyes and tried to ignore it. Also, shoujo-like Natsu was a blessing given to us by Mashima which I’m forever grateful for, lmao. But really, I think this omake/episode is actually very important to Natsu and Lucy’s relationship; it showed that all her delusions depicted Lucy’s idea of how a romance should be, and then (spoiler) in the end, she kind of gets that romance, but not in the way she imagined, and it turned out to be exactly the way it needed to be. So, for that, I really like this and find it essential to the ship.

34. Their reunion. (Ep 276).

This moment, originally, was not part of my top 25 Nalu manga moments, and that’s because, while I do love it in the manga, I love it so much more in the anime. It felt more dramatic, with the camera shifting from Natsu and Lucy finally locking eyes after one year apart, and they’re both so goddamn shook! I like that they added this detail in the anime, because you could really feel like it was two people who used to always be together, and then spent 365 days without seeing each other, being only there ever in thought. I also like how they’re both blushing, that little showcase of how happy they are to see the other again, and the small tingle of bittersweetness because we know it’s not 100% okay between them. You know drama’s gonna follow because actions have consequences. But for that one moment, you’re just as happy as Natsu and Lucy to see them reunited once more, the way it’s supposed to be.

33. Lucy makes her choice. (Ep 49).

While I feel that this one goes without saying, the reason I chose it can be explained in two sentences: 1) Lucy has met a guy who’s like the male version of her, is kind, a gentleman, and has a nice vibe with her, but she puts all of that potential aside for the one thing she is sure of, and that’s her partnership with Natsu. 2) Have you seen Natsu’s face when she shows up in that train, ready to leave with them? He’s so shook, he blinks like three times, as if trying to make sure she is really there, that she’s real. And then he just opens the biggest smile, because she chose to be there with them; it’s the first time they’re not dragging her to a job, she simply chose to come along, and you can almost hear the sound of Natsu’s heart going all fluttery when he realizes she cast her ‘date’ aside to go with them. Another moment that, I feel, helped deepen and shape the relationship these two have today.

32. “Make me purr!” Drunk Lucy round 2. (OVA 9).

Again, nothing really different to add on this moment, only that I like how the ova extended and showed Lucy jumping on Natsu in the most s&xual way ever, and how Natsu has all the strength in the world to remove her from him, but “supposedly” is unable to do that when she’s all over him touching him in a very intimate way. Aham. I see right through you, dragon boy. Also, isn’t it interesting that Drunk!Lucy directs all her attention to Natsu if he’s around? Nvm that there’s other guys around, all she cares about is him. I love that. It says a lot about Lucy’s hidden feelings.

31. Reaching out for each other before being separated. (Ep 247).

Tartaros is my favorite FT arc, despite not having that much Nalu in it, it’s probably the arc with most emotional weight, because of everything the characters went through and makes you really feel for them. And although I love the ships, I love the story 1st and Tartaros was indeed amazing story-telling. With that said, I also enjoyed very much the little/subtle/few Nalu moments the arc provided, and one of them is the scene where Natsu and Lucy are being pulled in by the Alegria, and they reach for each other. It’s commonly said that when things get tough, you focus on what’s important to you, and it was very sweet/heartbreaking to watch Lucy and Natsu struggling to get to each other, as they were both unaware of what was going to happen, they were just trying to stay together. You can easily say it’s only because they were alone together, but hello, Mashima did not need to make it like this. It was his choice to make Natsu and Lucy reach out for each other in a way that’s mostly seen between couples, esp in shõnen, and the anime made it even more beautiful.

Part 3 will come up tomorrow!

Either Sweet Tarts or Nerds. 

16. most comfortable position to sit in?

18. ideal weather?

When it’s just warm enough to wear a t-shirt and sit in the sunshine, but cool enough that I’m not hot, and a little breeze is going. I think of this weather quite often.

On my belly kinda spread out like a shounen protagonist.

21. obsession from childhood?

J.R.R. Tolkien. Have always been obsessed with him and his works. 

22. role model?

Redundant, but Tolkien again. Linguist and writer. Living my dream. 

23. strange habits?

I unplug things like microwaves, lamps, and TVs when I am done using them. Very little remains plugged in at my place. The modem, the fridge, and the clock. That is it.

24. favorite crystal?

Amethyst. It’s my sister’s middle name. And I especially like the purple ones.

25. first song you remember hearing?

Curl up in the sun on a blanket and nap. 

27. favorite activity to do in cold weather?

Hot cocoa blanket cuddles.

Let’s go with Born This Way (the first person I came out to sent me that song so it feels special!), I’m Free to Be Me by Jamie Grace, Praying by Kesha, Shake It Off by Taylor Swift ( @delicateeuphorias​ would you believe it xD), and right now thinking about someone dear to me who’s been gone See You Again is stuck in my brain.

30. places that you find sacred?

Arboretums or big botanical gardens where I can get lost in the plants for a moment and take in how pretty they all are. And old monuments/big things people of the past built. A lot of things were built by people with no rights/freedom and I think about them and how despite the fact that they had nothing, they made such a lasting impact on our world. 

31. what outfit do you wear to kick ass and take names?

*slips on my Owari no Seraph cosplay* I will kick ass in this sweet ass cape-

33. most used phrase in your phone?

O-O-O-O’REILLYYYYYYYYYY’S...Autooo PARTS.

35. average time you fall asleep?

I’m an insomniac it could be 10 pm it could be 3 am who knows I sleep for an hour I’m up again...

36. what is the first meme you remember ever seeing?

Fucking CAN I HAS CHEEZBURGR cats. 

37. suitcase or duffel bag?

This all boils down to how much I’m packing. Going for a sleepover? Duffel. Going to con? My giant suitcase with room for all the bells and whistles of cosplay.

38. lemonade or tea?

Tea!

39. lemon cake or lemon meringue pie?

Oh cruel I looooove lemon. The pie!

40. weirdest thing to ever happen at your school?

In high school here- so, aside from me being the resident weirdo (I DID come to school dressed as the TARDIS), my senior class decided to squirt hundreds of bottles of chocolate syrup on the sidewalks. We were an open campus so it’s all in front of our classroom doors- we had no hallways. And then they. They fucking EGGED ALL THE DOORS. The whole campus smelled like...ick.

41. last person you texted?

My father and mother in a group text to cry about customers treating me poorly. 

42. jacket pockets or pants pockets?

I prefer the jacket pockets because I still haven’t found a way to get men’s pants under the radar of my ever-watchful parents and women’s jeans pockets are SHITTY. Women gotta boycott this shit it is UNACCEPTABLE-

44. favorite scent for soap?

Peppermint...peppermint ^-^ I like to smell like...mint.

45. which genre: sci-fi, fantasy or superhero?

Fantasy!

46. most comfortable outfit to sleep in?

Pepper jack, Swiss, or ricotta. 

48. if you were a fruit, what kind would you be?

51. current stresses?

Are you shitting me it’s everything. Every. Single. Thing. I cannot breathe. I am having meltdowns. Someone fucking save me I cannot deal with COVID well.

52. favorite font?

Garamond for writing in my free time, Doulous SIL for all the linguistics IPA symbols my greedy heart desires. 

53. what is the current state of your hands?

Smooth but my fingertips have been gnawed on. I am stressed, okay?

54. what did you learn from your first job?

Gosh, lots of things. But the most important takeaway is that a good boss will genuinely care about you. I miss that man. He was so wonderful and so caring and taught me so much about theater. Technical things and artistic things and historical things. Sometimes I wish I could have made a career out of working under him. 

55. favorite fairy tale?

Beauty and the Beast (AH...AH...I SEE YOU ROLLING YOUR EYES BECAUSE I’M TRANS. I KNOW. I *KNOW*.)

56. favorite tradition?

It’s a family tradition kinda unique to my household. Each year, we draw a name from a hat, and that name comes with a lot of words that describe us and what we liked over that year. We then each take a $20 bill and we go to a little hobby shop with cheap things in it and use that $20 bill to fill a Christmas stocking. We then hang them back up and empty the stocking full of candies and random silly things and have a good laugh and guess who filled whose stocking. 

57. the three biggest struggles you’ve overcome?

The first one is coming to terms with knowing my dad has a severe illness. It really shook my family up, and it’s terrifying us right now with everything going on, but after a while, I learned that he was smiling, so I could smile, too.

The second one is my mother coming back from her tour in the Middle East on top of the murder of my godmother. Two very stressful things happened at once. My mother got very violent from her PTSD and her best friend died in a horrible way. It was an adjustment for everyone, and it kind of ripped my family to pieces. I can say, though, that my parents are still married and are getting better, and my sister and I are coming back to the family to be more open and healthy.

The third, and maybe some of my followers are aware, was getting rid of my ex-fiance. He was a man who sexually assaulted me repeatedly and I won’t go into details beyond that. It took me 5 years to get rid of him and accept what happened, but I am a much happier person now and while I work through the trauma that caused me, I have the most wonderful partner by my side and if you had told me back then I’d find someone as kind and patient and loving as him, I would have laughed and thought you were insane. 

59. if you were a video game character, what would your catchphrase be?

Probably what I put on all my fanfic updates: “I know. I’m an asshole.”

60. if you were a character in an anime, what kind of anime would you want it to be?

Some kind of shoujo romance but it’s bi also I want a sword.

61. favorite line you heard from a book/movie/tv show/etc.?

There was nothing more smartass than Alice Synthesis 30 in SAO 18 asking a reporter to open up his head and prove he was human I’m sorry like OOF-

63. five songs that would play in your club?

Get in losers, we’re playing Steppin’ Out by FLOW, Elle me dit by Mika, Blue by Eiffel 65, ADAMAS by LiSA, and Touch Off by UVERworld.

64. favorite website from your childhood?

I was on Webkinz more than I want to admit. 

65. any permanent scars?

Yup. I have one on my toe where I split the skin in half. I tripped. I have three surgical scars from when I had my appendix removed. And...the mystery scar. I was supposedly born with a scar it’s at the part where my foot meets my leg on my left side and you can see how it’s stretched over the years if you run your finger over it. The joke is that the doctor taking out my mom’s appendix scratched me in the womb. 

67. good luck charms?

Not really a charm but I do have a little Kirito keychain I carry everywhere I go that I fiddle with when I’m nervous.

68. worst flavor of any food or drink you’ve ever tried?

Artificial bubblegum. Disgustiiiing.

70. left or right handed?

I am right-handed.

71. least favorite pattern?

Zig-zags. 

72. worst subject?

History...I am ashamed. It’s interesting, I just suck at it.

73. favorite weird flavor combo?

Gingerbread and marshmallow. I am a bit picky about mixing foods and flavors, so this was the weirdest I could think up. 

74. at what pain level out of ten (1 through 10) do you have to be at before you take an advil or ibuprofen?

Can you hear that? It’s my hysterical laughter. 12 on a scale of 10. I get up there pretty frequently. Thank you, chronic crippling pain. 

75. when did you lose your first tooth?

I...I don’t remember...I don’t even remember...I think I had to be like what...kindergarten? 

76. what’s your favorite potato food (i.e. tater tots, baked potatoes, fries, chips, etc.)?

THIS IS CRUEL I LOVE ALL POTATOS I LOVE THEM ALL SO MUCH-Au gratin.

77. best plant to grow on a windowsill?

Aloe!

78. coffee from a gas station or sushi from a grocery store?

Coffee from a gas station. Mark my words...I will never get grocery store sushi. Ever. Again. My stomach has not forgotten. What a mistake. That was. 

79. which looks better, your school id photo or your driver’s license photo?

So, my driver’s license hasn’t had an updated photo since I was 15 and just had a learner’s so I look like I want to murder a man but my school ID I had just run about a mile in the cold because the bus wasn’t running that day and my face is red and I look like I’m crying...probably the school ID...

80. earth tones or jewel tones?

Jewel tones~~

82. pc or console?

Errrrr console. I’m not a gamer by any means but there’s way fewer things to press on a console controller. 

84. podcasts or talk radio?

Neither...what...no...neither...they will put me to sleep...I will be out in seconds...the most dangerous things...people talking...and then I’m out...

84. barbie or polly pocket?

Barbie, she’s a LOT easier to dress. Those rubber clothes. SMH.

86. cookies or cupcakes?

Cookies but they gotta be the soft ones.

87. your greatest fear?

Being swallowed in the ocean. By a fish or a whale. I don’t play. Church kid don’t play with big things in the ocean with big mouths.

88. your greatest wish?

To make enough of a difference in someone’s life that they learn to love themself.

89. who would you put before everyone else?

Such a selfish thought...gosh...the mere thought of prioritizing someone troubles me. 

90. luckiest mistake?

Telling a cute guy sending me dog pictures was an excellent flirting technique as he sent me pictures of his puppy. I immediately thought “oh god I’ve fucked up bad” and at present we’re kinda head over heels for one another so maybe just be stupidly blunt once and a while you might find true love. 

91. boxes or bags?

Boxes. My cat didn’t force me to say that. Not at all. Sock, buddy, off the keyboard-

92. lamps, overhead lights, sunlight or fairy lights?

Sunlight. I like the sun. The sun is my friend. It is warm and would never betray me.

93. nicknames?

Sister calls me “spoony” when she’s being ridiculous. No, I don’t know what that means. Mama calls me “cakes.” I had friends who called me “Deku” because I’m a crybaby. Had a few people DM me and straight up call me “Eugeo” or “Eug.” AJ is technically a nickname.

[twentyfivemiceinatrenchcoat]

In the hypothetical scenario in which Suguru had a childhood friend and Satoru fell in love with that person, do you think Suguru would be angry with Satoru?

for sure :3

PHDJDJJDD OK BUT . this scenario is very tasty to me in particular and i need to explore it properly….. my baseline is a big fat yes though.

suguru with the childhood friends trope is genuinely my favorite thing ever and i can’t imagine it without also imagining him being overprotective. it’s just in his nature. and when it’s someone he’s known for as long as he can remember it’s even worse. i feel like suguru was your little bodyguard when you were children and although he knows things are different now…. he still can’t help but go all mother hen around you.

but, as always….. it Depends. if satoru got a crush on you i think suguru would shut it down instantly. like. just a flat out no. and satoru whines but lets it go because it’s just a little crush, yk? he’s well aware you’re off limits. (suguru probably makes that clear the moment the two of you befriend satoru…)

if it’s more than just a crush, though… if he’s genuinely smitten with you….. it’s a little more difficult. for satoru to feel that way there must be a strong friendship between you, so in this kind of scenario i feel like all three of you have grown pretty close. and this is important bc while i do think suguru would oppose to satoru’s feelings/get upset, he’s also very important to him!! :c i can kinda picture this as a shoujo-esque scenario where they have a big argument about it before coming to terms with the other’s emotions. as for what happens after that, it… also depends.

i just think suguru wants what’s best for you. my baseline for childhood friend!sugu is that he knows you so well that he doesn’t think anyone could love you better than he could…. yk? not in a condescending way, just a factual i don’t trust anyone else to love you properly. so when he finds out satoru likes you, i think he’s immediately opposed because he doesn’t think satoru is good enough for you. he doesn’t think anyone is good enough for you, except maybe himself, but he would never confess to you unless he was sure you felt the same. so he’s kind of stuck.

if satoru was really, really serious about you, then i could see suguru respecting that. but i also find it really hard to believe that satoru would choose you over his friendship with suguru…. that���s just my own take on him but 😭😭 it’s hard for me to picture him being so lovesick that he’d disregard suguru’s feelings, especially considering how closed off he is as a person. so i can see both of them compromising a bit for each other.

ultimately, it could turn into a more mellowed out, friendly competition. like. maybe they decide to let their feelings go unspoken, while also trying their best to charm you… get to know you better….. etcetc. satoru has a lot of catching up to do before he reaches suguru’s level, but he probably finds it fun. and suguru just tries to make sure satoru doesn’t hog too much of your attention….

(…. i do also think that above all else they’ll respect your own feelings, so if you ended up liking satoru back… suguru would probably let it happen. and if you liked suguru back, satoru would let it happen!! i’m morally obligated to root for the childhood friend so i’m team sugu <33)

Let’s talk anime

Requested by @omnipresent-yaoi to answer them all. I’ll post answers under cut to not take so much dash space.

1. best anime you’ve watched

I think of Cowboy Bebop, Ghost in the Shell and One Piece, because of their influence.

2. worst anime you’ve watched

How was it called when the guy sucked on breast milk to get strength? That’s I think is the worst. There was one really weird where women shot milk from breasts and their boobs exploded. So after this garbage other things look quite decent.

3. favorite character from your favorite anime

if we take very-very fave then Spike and Faye from CB, Motoko from GitS and Luffy & Zoro from OP

4. least favorite character from your favorite anime

I want Marshal D. Teach from One Piece to suffer.

4. best ending of an anime you’ve watched

Ending scene from Whisper of the heart is one of my very favorite.

5. worst ending of an anime you’ve watched

I believe it should be ending that I’m not happy with and that would be something like Paradise Kiss. The dumb shoujo drama style of ending ughh *shivers*

6. favorite opening sequence

Tank! from Cowboy Bebop. It’s really stylish visually. From those times Yoko Kanno became my fav composer. I also love the one from Bounen no Xamdou performed by Boom Boom Satellites. But usually I don’t really care for OP/ED.

7. top anime you plan to watch

From upcoming - One Punch Man 2, is most anticipated and one I’m most afraid for. Because I really loved the first season and I’m afraid to be disappointed. From to-watch list I want to conquer Lupin III.

8. first anime you’ve ever watched

Maris the choujo.

9. latest anime you’ve watched

Tsurune, as on-going. Mo Dao Zu Shi, as completed.

10. top 5 characters you would die for

I don’t die for characters, I’m pretty sure they’d want me to live.

11. worst 5 characters

No offence, on a personal level they give me pet peeves. On top of the list - Orihime, bitch she’s annoying AF. The entire Kurosaki-kun, fuck that. Erina from Shokugeki no Soma. Ringo from Air Gear. Komatsu Nana from Nana. And I can’t think of anyone else. 

12. most underrated character

I think someone like Tokuchi Toua from One Outs, which gets the entire series on his back. But also I think good silent yet upright characters always stay in shadows.

13. favorite one shot (1 season) anime

Barakamon. It’s a beautiful one. I watched it several times and it feels a really good one when ppl feel a bit at loss of what to do with their life.

14. favorite completed (multi seasoned) anime

Complete with no spin-offs and movies, nothing upcoming and such? then Mushishi))))

15. favorite on going series

I really fell for Tsurune. It has those traits KyoAni is famous for, not only a really good animation, but actually the feeling of lightness, even if it shows mcs overcoming smth and his struggle, but it is done with such a feeling of hope for the future.

16. anime you wish had another season

Skip Beat, I think it’s a loss because Kyoko is hillarious. Or can you imagine more of Vampire Hunter D world? I think adventures like in Space Dandy are also really fun.

17. anime that didn’t deserve more seasons but got them anyways

not for me to decide, if it’s worth or not, because often it’s a business decision. but i never get the idea behind harem-types and have no idea why they get more seasons. 

18. favorite villain

Garou from OPM (he’s supposed to be a villain but is he?), Alucard of Hellsing (he’s supposed to be a feared vampire, but he lives with his own logic), Johan from Monster. Makishima Shougo from Psycho-Pass. 

19. favorite hero

if we talk hero-hero then definitely Saitama from OPM

20. favorite costume/character design

Uniform and gear from Shingeki no Kyojin is neat.

21. ugliest costume/character design

Ochako from BNHA, what are those boots, like someone shoved metal in her heel and that mask, as if someone is going to grab her and ride her.

22. any endings that you would rewrite

Hmm not really, because what’s done is done. Usually what I want to re-write are parts in the story, not their endings.

23. characters that deserved better

L from Death Note. 

24. favorite genre

I really get high on sci-fi

25. best relationship between characters in your favorite anime

oops, it feels like unintentionally i answered. but i ship spike and faye. and i think the bromance between luffy and zoro is amazing. also batou and motoko from GitS are best comrades.

26. first crush on a character

D from Vampire Hunter D

27. which anime universe would you like to live in/be a part of

GitS, to have a chance to be placed in cyber body. Or something least problematic, like be neighbors to Saint Onii-san. 

28. give me two anime to pick between

i’m skipping this coz this depends on followers.

29. give me two characters to pick between

same reason for skipping as previous one.

30. favorite anime you’d recommend

Start from Fullmetal Alchemist, haven’t heard a person who didn’t like it or had an issue with it.

31. anime to stay away from

Harem-type of anime, most boring in the world.

32. most overrated anime in your opinion

for now it’s BNHA, when something gets a lot of hype it’s often easy to skip on flaws.

33. most underrated anime in your opinion

from which period???!!! XDDD I’m at loss actully. Because I think of several titles that did not get enough recognition when being aired.

34. anime you’re looking forward to

Mob Psycho 100 season 2, I need my pure son back.

35. favorite animation style

On top stays style of Ghibli (Miyazaki’s) movies. Always brings me delight :D

36. least favorite animation style

I don’t really have least favorite, since they all were done in different eras and with different intentions, so I think all styles are legit and should not be criticized. But if we take execution of in-between frames remember that video with caps from YOI where a really sad flute version of my heart will go on is playing? That’s a funny one.
