Hey! I see you have many asks so I don't wanna add more to the list so this one is quick :)

I just want to say thank you genuinely from bottom of my heart for the gojo meta posts. Especially the one about his students and how he's not the best and perfect teacher for them. I see a lot of discourse that paints him as 'poor little mew mew' and all I want to say to that discourse is: yes and!!!! Yes he is poor little mew mew but let's not close our eyes on his flaws!!!

God I can't wait for this manga to be over already.

Thank you again!!! <3

Thanks for the compliments!

Gojo is a sad pathetic wet cat that pretends to be dry. He’s also a little bit racist, slightly misogynistic, has questionable morals, and is extremely annoying. I love him dearly.

Him trying his best and being cringefail is the appeal to me. Though I mostly blame the higher ups and his Clan for why he is the way he is at this point. (That Gojo Booklet did numbers on me.) 3 hours of sleep daily, constantly high on Reverse Cursed Energy and sugar. Raised as a weapon by an emotionally distant family that kept him walled off from the outside world, completely tanking his chances of proper socialization. He was set up for failure.

It’s just really unfortunate that the students (and Ijichi) got caught in the crossfires of Gojo’s unique and twisted psychological problems. And that kind of seems to be the point? How systemic issues ruin people’s lives.

I don’t want the manga to end though. There are too many plot things that should be expanded on. I’m hoping for a spin off for Heian Era lore, one-shots to fill in gaps, or more light novels. It’s hard not to want more when there are oodles of unexplored character interactions that are downright criminal.

Tactical Breach Wizards Spoilers but this part of this conversation is so funny because, like. Who're you calling nemesis-adjacent, Banks.

At this point in the game her and Jen are basically friends; they've joked around, bantered a bit, and the arrest and accidental murder from the beginning is basically forgotten. The only reason she's helped the resistance this long is because Jen asked nicely. In that SAME CONVERSATION Banks sort of flirts with her to distract her from her bad metaphor. This isn't even a "if you're rivals for that long you're just gay" she's just down bad and in denial. By the end of the game shes so horrendously down bad she fucking gets Jen a fake passport and if Jen starts the PI office in Liboli Banks WILL join her. fake ass nemesis I saw you laughing at her jokes

you know how in a lot of magical girl shows the main character has more chemistry with a female teammate or best friend than her male love interest who they force on her even though he has the personality of cardboard? sayaka miki's arc is the opposite of that and i love it.

he's such a good listener 😽

[dykethoschei]

i love u but with ur user how. truly how. did u ever survive twt

Good question: I didn't

[adhdtsukasa]

first we got asahi sakurako childhood friends (and therefore i'm assuming elementary because i don't think middle school still counts as a childhood experience) m/f and now we got shousuke and this-new-guy-i-forgot-his-name uni yaoi. do you know what's left? high school yuri so i truly do hope it will be the time for hinata otori to get her own insane npc lore. you want to do it so bad colopale

I just finished my nth rewatch of Legend of Korra (due to the live action bringing me back to my atla/lok roots), and was violently thrown back 9 years ago while rereading the original reaction subreddits when everyone was arguing whether korrasami was canon, all bc Nick wouldn't have ever allowed the creators to show an in-show kiss between two women.

It really shows how far we've made it in today's society and media. Korrasami shocked us 9 years ago (gay marriage wasn't even federally legalized in the USA till a year after), but if it came out today none of us would've blinked at the queer rep on a kids show (by kids I mean Nickelodeon). It just makes me so happy that it's now (mostly) normalized to have safe and good queer rep in media, esp kids media.

I can't imagine what it would've felt like to have shows/movies like Nimona, Steven Universe, She-ra, etc growing up. Or just media normalizing that queer people exist and are like everyone else (instead of the butt of a joke or a "token gay character").

I try to enjoy gl, bl, and nl in peace but this Ao3 shipping “controversy” is why I can’t stand other yuri likers 😭

[exiordinary]

Aventurine x Sparkle doodles I did while bored in class :) I didn’t remember their outfits so I improvised (can you tell I can’t make outfits off the top of my head)

I see where you're coming from, but also blorbo is different to everyone and we all had different experiences. I was in voltron but pidge was my blorbo, not lance, so I rarely saw him. And then I saw Yuuri everywhere whether I wanted to or not. Also, polls are not about accuracy, as much as we might think they should be. Life is a popularity contest. 🩵💙🩵💙🩵

my blorbo rankings contain multitudes. however, i am cognizant enough to recognize two things:

while lance is not my specific blorboest blorbo, i still rank him to be a more iconic blorbo than yuri. and so my vote for lance is still valid.

this poll is about most iconic blorbo. i like keith and allura more than i like lance, but i firmly believe that lance is voltron's most iconic character. i define "iconic" based on the following criteria: a) canon material; b) fandom experience and reaction; and c) impact on outsiders (the "did i see this character everywhere" standard). i heavily value points in the (b) category over points for (a) and (c).

lance's canon material sucks ass. however, the fandom's ability to 1) go crazy over lance anyway, and then 2) ability to extrapolate so heavily, insist on digging so deeply, and create so genuinely is impressive to me. and also incredibly hilarious. this is why i made the toxic iconity argument: i deeply respect the daily battles lance stans fought, both between themselves/the wider voltron fandom, and the constant enduring sisyphus-level uphill battle against the quality of the canon material. lance stans were able to create everything out of veritable nothingness, and i believe that deserves to be commemorated.
