#my unpopular bbs opinion

[sunshinechay]

Is there one piece of media you just couldn't get into, that you truly wish you could?

I’m definitely telling on myself here and I accept people’s judgement but…

Bad Buddy

I watched the whole series and I agree that it is really good and well done in just about every aspect. Like legitimately I have nothing bad to say about the series. I just couldn’t get into it.

I wish I loved it as much as a lot of bl fans do because again, I do think it is really well done and a good bl, but I just don’t. I guess I just didn’t vibe with it. It took me way longer to finish than it takes me for most bls. I can usually finish a series in a week or two (depending on how much free time I get during my work week) but it took me almost 4 months to finish.

I got to the end and went, that’s it?

Maybe it’s a case of it just being so hyped that I was a bit let down but I’m not sure. I’ll try to rewatch it in the future and see if I end up liking it more on the second go around but yeah for now my answer is Bad Buddy.

Especially since for the most part, if I’m not into something, I’m totally fine with it. I mostly try to stick to what I do like and very rarely wish I could have gotten into something that I didn’t end up enjoying. This is really the only thing I can think of.

I really wanted to love it but I just don’t.

I feel people have forgotten that what Pat did in the first bad buddy Our Skyy episode was undeniably shitty and was never actually properly resolved because they were too stressed and preoccupied getting the consent from Phupha for the play.

You cannot tell me Pran wasn’t hurt by the whole situation. Aside from the ‘drunk words speak sober thoughts’ of it all, Pat still left him without proper explanation, spent the night getting drunk with his friends, ignored all his worried calls and texts, and then brought it up AGAIN in the last episode when they fought. Everything about that was so unlike bbs Pat and I was upset it was so quickly brushed past as it clearly drudged up all of Pran’s insecurities.

In fact a lot of Pat’s actions were ooc for me - entertaining the idea that he drunkenly slept with Phupha when he’s the most loyal down bad character ever, cowardly running away and twisting his ankle which almost ruined Phupha’s effort to find the others, being so blasé about finding Pran lost in a dangerous forest in general, and being extra himbo-like when we’re talking about a confident assertive guy who got shot protecting friends and who is super intelligent.

So I’m finding it bizarre that it’s Pran taking the heat when his characterisation was so spot on; he’s grown and changed since we last saw him and he’s more open to talking about his insecurities, he told Pat that he was stressed and that overwhelmed him but admitted all he wanted to do was watch the stars and play in the waterfall with Pat, he recognised that Pat didn’t mean to hurt him but that his feelings were still valid and he allowed him to help even though he was trying to prove to himself that he could do it alone, and he was kind and friendly to Tian and Phupha and empathised with their struggles as individuals and in their relationship.

Overall I wasn’t keen on the Our Skyy episodes but I wasn’t expecting a masterpiece and Pat wasn’t completely ruined as a character for me to love and enjoy him and patpran’s relationship.

(maybe¿) an unpopular opinion: I LOVE redemption arc Jasper, his golden eyes are beautiful and he’s beautiful but the thought of (as Edward so eloquently put it) “𝘑𝘢𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘳, 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘰𝘤𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴, 𝘦𝘺𝘦𝘴 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘱 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘦𝘮𝘱𝘵𝘺 𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 (lmao no thoughts head empty bb) 𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒈𝒐𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒏 𝑮𝒐𝒅 𝒐𝒓 𝒊𝒏𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒏𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒐𝒇 𝒘𝒂𝒓, 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒋𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒏 𝒂𝒖𝒓𝒂 𝒐𝒇 𝒑𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝒗𝒊𝒐𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆…” UHM???????????

red eyed, God of war Jasper is doing something to my brain, cover him in blood and I’ll throw all my feminism out the window rn idc

[sethsclearwater]

congrats on 5k bb!! unpopular opinion of mine that i 1000000% believe should be popular is that emily was so wrong for caving and getting with her cousin's boyfriend even though he imprinted on her😭😭 like don't get me wrong i loveeeeeee emily but she did leah so dirty with that and i don't think i could've ever gotten over it ESPECIALLY if i had to share all my thoughts with the said guy AND hear all his friends thinking about how wrong i was for holding a grudge this long

you're so real for that lol and i'm gonna be sad if we both get jumped in the comments for thinking this lmao

[beastboyisbestboy]

My unpopular Beast Boy opinions:

I understand that I am cringe but I know that I am free.

1. Don't love BBrae. I feel like it too often condenses two complex characters into annoying stereotypes.

2. Don't like Greg Cipes voice for BB. I'm ready for him to pass the torch on for the next iteration instead of just constantly jumping from reboot to reboot.

3. In professional products, Garfield works best as a supporting character.

4. I prefer it when Garfield is a little younger than the rest of the cast. He's a lot more charming and a lot more forgivable that way.

5. Leading from the last point, I don't care if he gets frozen in time or stuck at a certain age. His stories work best in the 13-17 age range. I don't care at all if comic characters get age-frozen in general so, that's just a byproduct of a seperate post.

7. His Young Justice iteration is ass. I got up to the Teen Titans Go crossover ep and completely gave up on the show.

8. DC animated cinematic universe Beast Boy is S-tier.

[sprinkleonthatcriticism]

Nightmare Critters and my thoughts on the characters

Unpopular opinion but these two actually slap and also, I don't think the fourth chapter is gonna actually FOCUS on them and it's hopefully gonna focus more on the prototype and that they only use baba chops bc they don't wanna spoil proto's design.

Oh and lastly, these guys could just be like mini bosses kinda like how BB DogDay, Bunzo Bunny, Mini Huggies and Puggapillar were small bosses that you have to defeat.. HOWEVER, just because I like the designs doesn't mean there is no criticism.. I get that they were trying to do what stuff like care bears (who care bears), powerpuff girls (rowdyruff boys), fairly oddparents (anti fairies) ect. did years ago which was make evil/mean alter egos of the main characters but it just feels lazy and trying to cashgrab because Smiling critters popped off, and it truly shows..

They could've try and did like a Trashpack inspired toys or even get inspiration from the Garbage Pail kids or those gross alter ego toys that were made to market towards boys back in the day..

but I understand the direction they tried to do, i think they were trying to make them feel marketed towards Scene kids or Emo teens, well, that's the vibes I get off of the characters ESPECIALLY Icky and Baba they both feel like they were made to market towards those sort of teens kinda like how Hot topic sold stuff with Gir, Domo, Skelanimals ect. on it and how a lotta of those kids really like these characters.

But idk about Rabie Baby, she doesn't really vibe with me and it took me sooo fucking LONG to figure out what she was wearing around her neck, turns out to be a drop of blood (because ya know, she's a bat and bats are associated with vampires, and there's a species of bat called the vampire bat and they drink blood, so yeah)

Also, missed opportunity for them to call her Chatty Batty instead of Rabie Baby unless Chatty Batty was copyrighted by someone else or some company, dunno. I do hope the other characters have those vibes I mention, if not I'll be disappointed.

[bonefall]

Thoughts about Violetshine’s and Needletail’s connection to each other in AVoS please?

I heard what’s probably quite a unpopular opinion out there that the bond that these two characters have is quite unhealthy, and I’m genuinely curious if you agree with that statement or not and/or if that’s actually true or not.

I'm gonna be TOTALLY honest. AVoS was so boring to me that my memory has basically blanked out on most of what I read. If DOTC wasn't SO rancid, AVoS would be my least favorite arc. BB!AVoS is one of the least solidified arcs because of it-- I plan to do an AVoS reread after I manage to choke through the rest of the back-half of DOTC.

I have a solid middle and everything around Breezepelt, a new POV, is pretty clear in my mind. I have a good grasp on the politics of ShadowClan falling apart. I even know the emotional angle I want to play with Needletail and Sleekwhisker. But there's so many little things that I'm just not sure how to work with, so hopefully a reread will help it all click.

I do always try to preserve the "emotional core" of things, even when arcs get shuffled and overhauled like this one.

BUT ANYWAY from what I remember, yeah, Needletail and Violetkit have a pretty unhealthy relationship. Which was actually one of the few things I like. I like that Needletail is actually pretty nasty, and that her most consistent trait is that she refuses to be told what to do.

To me, Needle pretty snappish with Violetkit in the way that some teenagers are nasty with little kids, and I just think that's very interesting. I hate the way that the arc ultimately says that the problem in ShadowClan was... idk Kids These Days and their iPhones, but I LIKE the idea that these (overall pretty unremarkable) teenagers, with some good points about how ridiculous their society is, got exploited by a malicious actor.

And what I like about that with Needle and Violet's friendship being pretty toxic is that, well, sometimes teenagers are like that. They resent having to watch younger kids, or having responsibilities thrust on them, because they're looking for their own freedom. Needlepaw is a child, herself, but Violetkit doesn't have a decent mother figure so she latches to her like a baby duck.

Needle shouldn't have to be this kid's parent and she resents that, in spite of (or maybe exactly because) this is a consequence of her own choices. And Violet has no other choice, and no way of understanding "what she did wrong."

I like sad little relationships like that. Unfixable ones. Of course canon kinda threw it out the window with Needletail dying to save her and Violetshine never having a complicated view of her in hindsight as a result, but, such is Warrior Cat.

i take a hammer and i feex the canon

[hurricanejane]

Unpopular opinion, I think FivexLila is deliciously dysfunctionally realistic. Five spent one apocalypse with only a mannequin for company, it makes sense he would get a lot out of having Lila there for this estrangement from reality.

I do hope there was a lot of respectful conversation and intimacy coaching with the actors to make sure they were comfortable with the age gap, especially for Aidan Gallagher.

That being said, I think the love triangle was delicious. I love my bbs suffering and they all did beautifully. I could feel their hearts breaking, especially Five's.

[faksyan]

kazi baby and maybe sunny on the side idk if she has enough in canon for an ask on her own

Oh you know it I want to talk about Kazuhira Miller. Of course I do.

(my favorite Sunny moments are all of mgrec and jomo am I allowed to answer that. Loved her there the writers did such a good job. I wish we were friends.)

First impression

Honestly, I don't think I took that much notice of him in his first appearance? I saw him in pw first, and in the beginning he is just a guy idk. The ending of peace walker and his tapes made me go a bit feral over him though. just a little.

Impression now

I'm in love with his anger issues. He's a scared animal backed into a corner that bites at the hand reaching for him even if it wants to feed and soothe him. I like thinking it gets better with age, but never quite leaves him to some extent, he did think about his revenge on bb for years (even though I think by the end it was less personal and more about. you know. not letting the world explode.)

I really really really like all of Kaz's designs. They're so expressive and tell so much about the mental space he's in. I love how resilient he is throughout all of the shit he deals with and how he passes it on to Dave. What else. There's so much more honesty I talk a bunch about Kaz in other asks, nothing else I haven't mentioned before comes to mind right now.

Favorite moment

Him almost killing himself and bb with a grenade. Showstopping. Brilliant. Never done before. All of first encounter honestly it does so much for him as a character. His tapes where he talks about his childhood too. Every Kaz moment is kind of my favorite I think. I like his lines as Master Miller where he tells Solid he should survive and about cheese fondue and stuff.

Idea for a story

I'm afraid I tie him to Ocelot too much because I love their dynamic. A big fic during the nine year gap where they do a bunch of dumb shit and make Diamond Dogs and kiss is the main one I guess. They go to a casino and beat the shit out of each other one (1) time and beat the shit out of other people many times. So much more bullshit happens but im not getting into that right now. I also have a story with the main focus on Paz in mind, but he's also there a lot, I just want them to be friends.

Unpopular opinion

He can be impulsive but he is a lot more rational than what people often portray/describe him as I think. Also, almost all interpretations of him in v I've seen feel kind of. wrong. Yes, he's traumatized and paranoid, but he is not a *mess*, not in a way he is often viewed. I already said about how I think Kaz's designs are very expressive, and there was this really cool post (don't really know where it's now unfortunately, don't think I reblogged it) about how his facial hair in tpp isn't him giving up on shaving, it's him having a fucking designer stubble that was a rising trend at the time. This, coupled with the fact that he wears so many layers (of also fancy clothes), carries a gun on him at all times, and orders people around as if it were his base (it is) and his soldiers (they are) is exactly the opposite of a man that gave up on his life. It isn't his low point. I headcanon the actual lowest low point in his life being somewhere during bb's coma, and by v he has gotten over it. It was a really long time, and they needed to move on to get things done, so he did. He didn't really need Snake by the time he gets back, I think. Not anymore. It was purely sentimenal by then, plus wanting revenge. And then not even that.

Favorite relationship

Oh would you really make me choose. Ocelhira for all the reasons listed here and so many more. Him and bb for all the baggage they have. Him and V for all the baggage they don't have but think they do because Zero is insane what was that plan. Him and Solid even though they have almost no screentime together. Everyone who ever interacts with him is my favorite relationship because it's Kazuhira Miller. Sorry for being abnormal about him.

Favorite headcanon

Transfem Kaz maybe, but I don't write or think about him with it in mind a lot of the time. Also I think he lost the hand in Ground Zeroes, it makes sense with him bringing up losing limbs and the pain being a reminder of what was taken from him nine years ago in his helicopter speech.

Bonus

Okay, more seriously about Sunny. Everyone always draws her so cheerful and outgoing aka closer to how she's in Rising I assume, that I didn't really expect that she'd be essentially kind of a shut-in in 4. She's a scared anxious child who is also a prodigy, and they are so fucking mean to her there. Made me honestly pretty sad. Though a lot of it might have been the stress everyone was under. I haven't gotten to her in mgr yet, but it makes me happy that things get better for her, like everyone always wanted.

ZaDr

THANKU FOR THE ASK BB!

i was honestly about to delete the reblog hmksjddhsk--

SHIP IT, of course c;

What made you ship it?

Admittedly, at the tender age of pre-teen, I'd never been exposed to a same sex couple, whether real or fictional, which made the whole concept of - not only two guys, but also a human and an alien - absolutely terrifying. Being super into cringey AMVs, it was inevitable I'd run across ZaDr eventually... and I hated it, pfff--

It was because I was scared of something different, really. But, after a few months of constantly running into the ship in the fandom space, it became less and less 'scary', and honestly... the aesthetic was growing on me.

The description I put in an IZ speedpaint, back then, had a huge ThIs Is NoT zAdR, iT iS gRoSs AnD wEiRd slapped right across the top, which I eventually removed a few months later as... well... I came to my senses haha!

ZaDr is the most - unintentionally - 'would be canon if made today and not distributed by Nickoldeon' kinda show. I mean, She-Ra had a ZaDr easter egg, for crying out loud - what could have been if someone more progressive, back in the day, had come up with the idea. Sorry Jhonen, but it's true

Favourite things about the ship?

To avoid another ramble, I'll just make a list - height difference, cultural difference, enemies to lovers, hate fucking, realising they're two sides of the same coin when it comes to daddy issues, co-dependency, dom/sub therapy... and just overall two hurt and broken idiots realising they need one another to heal and be happy.

Unpopular opinion about the ship?

... ... Zim is a power bottom and will never grow taller than 5ft - MAXIMUM.

Dib is not a uwu soft boi. He's just as mean and cruel as he thinks Zim is. That boy is a damn bully, and a borderline narcissist.

[pbaz7]

so excited for some cute little fluff (that better be what this is) (also tysm to the anon who said they loved my live reacts and i made their day, you made my day by saying that! ily baby!)

Anything Azzi wanted—or even thought about wanting—Paige made sure she had it.

this is the situation irl and im convinced

Paige would drop everything to sit by her side, holding her hand until Azzi's world felt steady again.

guys what why do i want to cry

She loved her so deeply it used to scare her sometimes.

so scared of this happening to me bc i know im the type of person to get in this situation😬

But Paige was also human. And everyone messes up sometimes.

say it louder for the old men on twitter shitting on her game

knowing she was going to pay for whatever they decided on.

paige is legit the team's sugar mama lmao

Azzi 💗: Well I guess that’s a no to the date

babe you've been on delivered for like 10 minutes don't be freaking out

Ice chimed in, laughing. “Azzi, you better send us some cowboy hats or something. Donate to the cause!”

i love icey ik that's an unpopular opinions apparently but like she's so cutie baby i love her

“Paige’s girl is calling during the live? 👀” “Not Siri exposing Paige rn 😭😭😭.”

the type of shit i'd be commenting

The two of them were always bad at being subtle when it came to Paige and Azzi.

ice if there was an award for outing p and az the most: 🙋‍♀️🏆

“I don’t really want to hang out with you anymore.”

respecfully azzi it seems like this is the kind of thing you can let slide seeing as how perfect p is to you 99.9% of the time

But Paige didn’t answer. She quietly buckled her seatbelt, her eyes flicking to the live chat on KK’s phone. Comments were flying in.

ik these fucking hoes are gonna be in the comments like "omg they broke up" like please guys what

But when they pulled up to a flower shop, the sign out front indicating it was about to close, KK finally ended the live.

this girl. it's like 9 pm.

“Paige!” the woman greeted warmly. “You’re just in time. What can I get for you today?”

the florist knows her by name. if this doesn't beat the player p allegations idk what will.

Paige’s heart sank when she noticed the faint redness around Azzi’s eyes, a clear sign she’d been crying.

princess don't cry you're perfect and i love you

“I wanna sleep alone tonight.”

sorry but respectfully azzi is pissing me off in this story

“Az, you act like I don’t care about us. I’m always thinking about you, no matter where I am.

clock. it.

Once in four years!”

it is so valid for p to be saying this idec

“I love you too… I’m just mad right now.”

i feel like i'm being stabbed slowly

The room was completely covered in flowers. Vases, bouquets—there were everywhere, sitting on her desk, lined up on the floor, spilling over onto her nightstand.

oh my god it's the 1,000 yellow daisies from gg

“Paige what… how is this still here? They’re supposed to have everything at the next location already for tomorrow.”

she's so perfect and cute i love lover p

“Yet, here you are still my girlfriend after all these years.” Paige teased, smirking.

in it for the long haul

The two of them continued their private tour, hand in hand, stealing kisses between pieces of art and basking in the quiet intimacy of the night Paige had created just for them.

and it ended better it would have been in the first place. cuties

hey author, this was so adorable! i'm loving all these one shots, they're so cute and i feel like you get to show off ur creativity as a writer.

hoping everything is okay with your girlfriend and you know you can always talk to me!

lysm bb

-🍉

this is the situation irl and im convinced

it’s definitely their situation irl

so scared of this happening to me bc i know im the type of person to get in this situation

no i definitely do not recommend. happened to me once and it turns you into a horrible person for a second

i love icey ik that's an unpopular opinions apparently but like she's so cutie baby i love her

i love isuneh so much and i hate that it’s an unpopular opinion because that’s bookie butt fr

i loved writing lover p it’s so nice because they always tryna make her a whore i did once 🫣

ily and i love your reaction like always 🍉

i need some more one shot ideas lowkey

[redrobin-detective]

I don't know if this is an unpopular opinion but I overall didn't care for TUA s2 and absolutely love s3. I appreciate what s2 was doing narratively and that it laid the foundations for s3. But as like an actual TV show I was watching I found myself not invested. I had no interest in Klaus' cult arc (I know he's the tumblr bb boy but I like Klaus but he's not my fav for sure) or Allison's happy marriage arc. I really like the turn her character took in s3, negative character development whoo! Luther is my boy but I didn't care what he was doing either. Would have liked more focus on the Commission that wasn't around the Handler.

Everything and everyone was all spread out and I feel like ideas were thrown out and we went 'hey look at this!' and then it was over before anything could happen with it. I did still enjoy it, all of Five's scenes were amazing. Diego I feel really came into his own this season and him and Lila are such a great duo. BENNNNNNN. Loved Elliot and the Swedes as the perfect TUA side characters who are just so memorable.

But i seriously loved s3, the apocalypse was happening right in front of them and there was this slow creeping tension similar to s1 to just Get Your Shit Together. Everything was spacious yet contained as the world became smaller and smaller leading to some fascinating character moments. LOVED Hotel Obsidian, how it started as this weird place Klaus used to crash to something way way stranger. Dad Diego my beloved, Luther embracing his Himboism and FINALLY getting something good. Allison's cruel breakdown arc. Viktor's reckoning with himself - as a man and a dangerous meta. Five's just complete giving up. Klaus' two disastrous family road trips. I loved the idea of the Sparrows, could they have been used better? Oh yeah but the idea of a competent team on the surface who is broken down once things got tough and weird in contrast to the Umbrellas who are So Bad at everything it cancels out.

Anyway I'm a s3 stan for life.

[hylaversicolor]

unpopular opinion vvv

i have previously discussed this topic from a slightly different angle here.

i believe there can and should be a distinction made between talking about bosselot and talking about ocelot’s sexuality in general, and especially using potential evidence of bosselot in mgs canon to try to prove ocelot’s sexuality, because by its nature the reasoning behind ocelot’s devotion to snake is never made clear in canon. we’re not meant to understand, from canon, why ocelot does what he does beyond “he was fighting for big boss. he idolized him.” and that he “was the same way [in love with the legend] once.” i don’t believe that based on the evidence given to us in canon we can conclusively say that he is gay. we can’t say that he’s NOT gay - i think “ocelot is gay” is a possible interpretation of intentionally vague storytelling, and it may even be my personal interpretation, but it is not the sole interpretation.

we don't know what ocelot is thinking ever. we don't know what he means when he says he was the same way once. is he referring to the fact that venom isn’t big boss at all, or the idea that the world has changed and evolved since operation snake eater, or has he realized that bb-post-coma isn’t infallible as he had once thought, or has his love transcended time and space and is more than something that can be expressed through words? it’s not clear.

again i DO think you can make a strong case for ocelot being gay (hence why i said he is arguably gay in the first place). the snavid kiss, the long silver bullet line, his lack of interest in eva all point him in that direction. but on the other hand, a lack of interest in one woman does not make somebody gay, nor does a lack of response when someone asks you if you’ve fallen for a man. (volgin being bisexual has absolutely nothing to do with this.) you CAN argue that ocelot is gay based on this evidence, but to say he is irrefutably gay would be a logical fallacy.

all this to say, though, don’t worry so much about what is canon or not canon, and don’t worry about trying to prove to everyone online that ocelot is one way or another. just find your personal headcanon and enjoy it, and the right people will notice and enjoy it too.

[ltwharfy]

How about your favorite Star Trek ship for the ask game?

Thanks for this ask, Babs! I genuinely appreciate it so much! Although "Bob's Burgers" may be the reason I came to Tumblr, I do like talking about my other interests on here, too, and it's fun to be asked about one of them. (Also, I feel like ship/characters asks in BB fandom can be a bit "Hey! Let me ask you about the thing you already talk about all the time!" sometimes. XD)

So, now for something completely different, I am going to talk about Saru/T'Rina from "Star Trek: Discovery". This is them:

Ship It

What made you ship it?

Saru was always my favorite character on Discovery, and when they first interacted in "Unification III", I thought they had an interesting, unique chemsitry and kept rooting to see more of them. And to my surprise, I did! (Since I love behind the scenes stuff, it was fun to find this interview with Saru actor Doug Jones where he talks about reading shippiness into the script for that episode, then finding out that it hadn't occurred to the writers, who then proceeded to run with it once he pointed it out to them.)

2. What are your favorite things about the ship?

I love that they are not a pair of young, cool, conventionally attractive humans. Because of their species and their personalities, they both tend to be a little emotionally reserved and cautious. Although they are both middle-aged (or maybe older), you get the sense romance hasn't been a big part of either of their lives previously. It's not easy for them to open up and be vulnerable to each other, but they do and it works out and they make this amazing connection. So, even though they are a pair of aliens in the 32nd Century, I basically see them as a sweet couple of awkward middle-aged people finding each other, which is one of my favorite relationship dynamics (and, yeah, has an element of personal relationship goals to it.)

3. Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

Honestly, "Discovery" is the Trek show I've probably engaged the least with the fandom for, so I genuinely don't know how popular they are or how other people see them. Since fandom tends to be a horny place, it might be unpopular for me to say I have no interest in thinking about their sex life! I love them, but have no desire for NSFW fics or art about them. Maybe they have amazing incomprehisbly awesome alien sex. Maybe their relationship is loving but sexless. I could see either way being plausible, but that aspect isn't what makes them compelling to me.

Rest. Take your meds. REST. I almost self-collapsed yesterday because of burnout and anxiety and trying to write the first chapter of my fic. I took my meds, I rested, I got cuddles from the boyfriend, and reassurance from my friends. I'm gonna be okay.

🥐 ⇢ name one internet reference that will always make you laugh.

POWERTHIRST.

🏜️ ⇢ what’s your favorite type of comment to receive on your work?

Any. I don't get many and I know my comment moderation is on on AO3, but when people take time to leave a thoughtful comment I cherish every single one.

🍦 ⇢ name three good things about a character you hate.

No.

🥝 ⇢ do you lie a lot? what’s the most recent lie you told?

I try not to lie. If I catch myself feeling like I need to lie for any reason, I choose to be silent. I used to be bad about lying to protect myself and my feelings, but now I'll speak the truth even if it nets me disdain. But I try not to lie if I can help it. To that end, I can't remember the last lie I told intentionally.

🦋 ⇢ share something that has been on your heart and mind lately.

I don't think I'm a good writer and I feel extreme imposter syndrome still despite all my achievements in writing. Good enough to be published, but not good enough for fandom. Maybe it's because I need an editor.

🦴 ⇢ is there a piece of media that inspires your writing?

These days it's mostly music. Specifically traditional West African music. When I'm dancing, I'm thinking.

🍅 ⇢ give yourself some constructive criticism on your own writing.

Pacing. Take your time. Hold the reader by the hand and stroll them through the story rather than pulling them along at odd intervals to get to That One Scene you want them to see. Take them through the same journey you went through to get to that scene so they get the same emotional payoff.

Narration. Give richer descriptions of the world around your characters. Give the world around them more breath and life.

Tension. Find the sweet spot and hold your readers there [still not sure how to do this one, I may need to pick someone's brain about it]. Seriously, if anyone has any resources or advice on how to build and sustain tension in a story I'm all ears because I seriously suck at it.

🐚 ⇢ do you like or dislike surprises?

I like pleasant surprises.

🪲 ⇢ add 50 words to your current wip and share the paragraph here.

Dawn brings the sound of village life as Šetû cracks open her eyes and yawns. There’s the smell of cooking, the sound of pots and utensils clattering, and the low murmur of voices she recognizes as Amadou, Yusuf, and the twins. With a stretch and groan, she crawls out of her bedroll and heads out of the yurt into the gray dawn. “Our shining star finally deigns to grace us with her presence,” Yusuf says with a snort. “We made masa.” Šetû rubs the sleep from her eyes and yawns again. “No honey?” She asks, grimacing as her voice comes out in a sleepy croak. Yusuf snorts derisively. “These superstitious peasants are very stingy with their resources. So no honey or sugar. We will have to make do without as we have always done since coming to these forsaken shores.”

☁️ ⇢ what made you choose your username?

Homeric homage.

🐝 ⇢ tag your biggest supporter(s) and say one nice thing about them.

@sandwitchstories - One of the best people I've encountered in the JJK fandom. She's so funny, whimsical, silly, supportive, talented, and encouraging. She's been such a great friend and I'm so glad we found each other on here. 🥹

@amacabrefairytale - Another good fandom supporter. They have been, for lack of a better word, one of the few people I still write in this fandom for. They always leave such long and thoughtful comments on my stories, ask me questions, and in general have some of the best thoughts about JJK in the fandom.

I don't know if Astra has a Tumblr but they've been another great friend and we've spent months building an entire JJK AU where we give Sukuna a big family and lots of love and it's just been unapologetically queer, polyshipping, self-indulgent fun.

🌸 ⇢ do you have any pets? if you do, post some pictures of them.

Socks and Squeaks although some of my longtime mutuals remembers Squeaks as Secret Kitty. He's still here and they're both BUMS!

�� ⇢ link your favourite piece of fanart and explain why you like it.

Anytime @innaillus posts Sukuna art I have to...take a moment for myself, you feel me? 😈

🧩 ⇢ what will make you click away from a fanfiction immediately?

Shitty formatting. Please format your fics in Word before you post on AO3 as sometimes the coding in Google Docs can be lost in translation and you end up with NO PARAGRAPH BREAKS. I don't care if your fic is on par with Tolkien, I won't read it if it's formatted like shit.

Describing the Reader with obvious characteristics not everyone has: pink nipples or lips, long straight hair, pale skin, etc. There's dozens of other little tells but I'll pull the ripcord if I see it too often because at that point I know the story wasn't written with me in mind at all. It's why I call Reader fic Diet OC.

Gross mischaracterization of a character for the sake of making them the punchline or rival in a story. I had to pull the ripcord on a fic because the person wrote Sukuna like a mustache-twirling villain instead of a fully-realized and complex human being. Sorry but you not about to do my man like that, player.
