#no shade to Hancock btw I love her too

[sanjipussyindulgence]

Anytime I think too long about the fandom’s treatment of Hiyori I start seeing red.

Not enough people take her trauma seriously frrrrrrr. Like not only did she spend years as a high profile sex worker in order to survive, the man who killed her father was one of her MAIN CLIENTS! She was Orochi’s FAVORITE!! THATS FUCKING CRAZY WHY DOES NO ONE TALK ABOUT IT!!!

She’s a similar character to Hancock in that they’re both considered “the most beautiful woman in the world” and have a crush on one of the strawhats that’s played for laughs, but the reception between the two is soooo different. And I KNOW it’s just because Hiyori isn’t a fighter like Hancock is 🙄🙄

(Or dare I say it’s because Hiyori doesn’t have a hypersexualized design like other one piece women.)

hello it is i anon who is definitely not you. you should show everyone ur super cool manga collection and also tell me about your favorite characters in great detail . btw

why hello anon who definitely isn't me!! thank you for asking because i have been waiting for someone to ask!!!

here's the main shelf and my bulletin board!!! closeups + unnecessarily in depth rambling + other collection stuff under the cut (please please click keep reading please click it please please ple)

closeup of the top shelf, this one mostly has my hero academia and one piece stuff. also has my junji ito books, and the demon slayer funkos i couldn't fit anywhere else. the mha figures along the top are knockoff wcf figures, not the real thing </3 bought them as cake toppers actually. i don't have all the mha manga i'm missing quite a few, but i have smash 1-2, team up missions 1-3, and all of the school briefs light novels

middle shelf, this one is half midari ikishima shrine and half assorted manga and figures. plus the kyoka jiro plush that wouldnt fit on the top shelf

bottom shelf! the manga is double layered on the sides for space conservation, the ones in the back are et cetera 1-9, chronicles of the cursed sword 1, psychic academy 1-2, .hack legend of the twilight 1-3 and .hack another birth 1-3. those and the buso renkin books were all given to me by a friend

this is one of my favorite figures, himiko toga by banpresto. it was surprisingly cheap for how good it is, i think it was like $38? the kyoka jiro sticker is something my friend got for me when he visited japan, and it still has the original price tag on it which i think is cool. in this pic you can also see the shoyo hinata funko pop (held up by sticky tack lmao) and the kurogiri + twice funkos. these (and my many other tiny funkos) are actually keychains but i removed most of the keychain part and i display them as figures instead

jiro section!! i really want to get her other funko variations, the school festival version of her with her guitar and the gamestop exclusive ofher with her microphone. and i REALLY want a scale of her, the newest one that's on preorder right now is so fucking cute but i'm too broke for it rn :( someday she'll be mine, but for now i just have a counterfeit wcf lmao

YAMATO !!! goddd i love him so much. got this figure super recently actually, it was like last week. i saw him in boxlunch and couldnt resist

the one piece section! i accidentally cut off the nico robin wano figure in this one oops :( i have the two ace's story light novels, the heroines ln (in japanese), the first manga volume in japanese, and the first fullmetal alchemist volume in japanese (doesn't fit the theme here, i know, but it didnt fit on the other shelves). here, i also have a vinsmoke reiju figure, a boa hancock figure in the back, a robin figure (dont ask why she's in her underwear i dont know either. but man do i like it), a yor forger figure, matching wano zoro and luffy funko keychains, and all my demon slayer funko keychains. i'm pretty sure this is the full set of them, i might be missing a nezuko variation though

this small bakugo figure (which sits on top of mha ultra analysis) is the first figure i ever got, i think i got it like five years ago? i don't even remember where i got it from, it was probably a gashapon machine somewhere idk. i lost his original stand ages ago so now he's sticky tacked to a lego :(

here's a closeup on my beloved midari ikishima shrine!! on the side is stickers of her sticky tacked to the shelf, and to the left is a hatsune miku drink can and a small yuji itadori figure. the shrine consists of 6 acrylic stands, 3 keychains, 3 button pins, 2 enamel pins, two sets of stud earrings, 6 stickers, 1 playing card with her on it (above the stickers but its cut off in the pic) and a bottle of purple nail polish that exactly matches the shade of hers. and kakegurui volumes 1 and 3 ofc (i plan to add kakegurui midari and the other kakegurui manga volumes to this soon). i really want more officially licensed midari merch but it's so hard to find and there's barely any of it. the white stand that some of the stuff is sitting on is a funko pop box with paper attached to it lmao

moving down to the second shelf! here's a brook figure, i really love this guy. the sculpting on his hands is SO good

next to brook is a zenitsu figure, a giyuu tomioka figure i got from a gashapon machine, and two tbhk pins

meruem and komugi funko pop on top of the manga :') my god i love these two so much. i really want to get that bandai figure of them but its like $500 at the CHEAPEST and it's not even good quality :( i'd like to get the hunter fan studios figure of them but alas, its also $500 dollars. someday i will </3 there's also a yuji itadori acrylic stand and a yuji funko keychain to the left that i forgot to take a closeup of

i've also got the komugi funko because of course i do, and it's displayed in front of hxh vol 25 because of course it is. someday i'm gonna get the meruem and pitou pops and i want them soo fucking bad but they're harder to find. also a zoro figure! from the same set as brook and the robin and otama figures from the top shelf.

had to do a closeup on this adorable killua and alluka pin, and the killua funko keychain

bottom shelf closeups! here's the middle of the shelf, with the rets of my hxh funkos (netero, bisky, and kurapika), my radical ed funko (i want the other two so bad but they're expensive :( got a matching keychain though), a honey senpai funko and a kuromi one. plus a cool large miku pin, a yor forger pin, and a pochita plush. i really love the all in one death note book. also, death note volume 3 (the blue one that's slightly taller than the others) was the first manga i ever got! i got it at a thrift store like four years ago i think. the k-on omnibus is the most recent manga ive gotten

yugioh section! duelest 1-4 and millennium world 1-3 were both gifts from a friend, and i got zexal 1-2 at a thrift store. they were from a school library, hence the stickers on the bottom that say west and south. really annoying, but i mostly covered them with a yugioh gameboy cartridge (i do not own a gameboy lmao). also ohshc pins!

on top of the yugioh manga is my other mha funko keychains, cubone and pikachu figures, a gudetama keychain, and a pochita necklace (which is actually a friendship necklace with my friend @/fartfeild)

other side of the shelf! the demon slayer pins have a glare on them in the pic which sucks. also have a miku pin, a gudetama coin purse thing, a mimukyu plush and figure (there's another mimikyu figure on top of the k-on manga), and four one piece pins

btw, the way i prop up the pins is by sticky tacking them onto legos!!

that's all for the shelf!! the shelf below this one is just full of empty boxes from the scales and funkos. onto the bulletin board!!

kyojuro rengoku, denji, zero two, tamaki suoh, takashi mori, honey senpai, and katsuki bakugo enamel pins! the chainsaw man and one piece things are cardboard packaging from other things that i cut out.

i LOVE this power pin, she's so fucking cute. the nami pin is gorgeous <3

two my melody pins, a hello kitty pin, and a chainsaw man button! plus an iguro keychain i got from a gashapon machine, and midari ikishima panels i printed. cause obviously i did

sailor mercury keychain! it's from 1999 (does that count as vintage? i think it does)

anya forger, all might, and bakugo keychains! plus a really high quality boa hancock enamel pin and a kurapika pin. the pretty flower is a pin i got from a melanie martinez concert, and the pink paper is confetti from the concert

dr stone lanyard, hxh keychain, kuromi pins, more midari panels, and multiple enamel pins (2 zoros, straw hat jolly roger, decidueye pokemon, yumeko jabami, and a dragon pin i got from a local artist at a fair)

jet black keychain (got it in a blind bag and im still mad i didnt get ed. i love jet too though), an emma keychain, more manga panels (ririka momobami and himiko toga) and a joey wheeler keychain that tragically got cut off in the pic. the chopper and luffy pins are part of a set with the zoro one, and i wish i'd put them together instead of splitting them up. i'll probably rearrange this sometime and then i'll pt them all together. there's also another melanie martinez pin from a concert, and two more pokemon ones

this thing came with one piece heroines, it's basically a second dust cover that advertises other one piece books. i kept it because of this cute nami drawing and oda's signature

also, the way i hang the button pins up is by sliding the wire piece behind a thumbtack :) please ignore my awfully chipped nail polish

tumblr won't let me add more images so i'll have to do a second post for all my posters. sorry this was so fucking long i know literally nobody cares or will read it but i needed to ramble about all this somewhere :3 my animanga collection is my favorite thing ever in the world. also on the off chance that anyone who does care reads this, if anyone wants to know more about a specific thing (where i got it, how much it cost, etc) please send an ask or dm and i'd love to tell you!!!

[nuclear-reactions]

Companions react to synth Shaun calling them "mom/dad" (romanced please) btw love your reactions!

(Love abandoning my blog on a bi weekly basis. Codsworth, Dogmeat, and Strong excluded cause I think Shaun will mostly get “Shaun? You ok there buddy?” looks of confusion if he did that)

Hancock- He’dnever thought about kids, because that was always a far off prospect,a part of a future he always thought he wouldn’t live to see, ordidn’t want to focus on too long. Back in Diamond City, he alwaysthought he’d cash out long before any kid he might have had would bebig enough to remember him, or even speak. And if any of the ladieshe took to bed got pregnant, none of them told him. After becoming aghoul, he knew any hopes of being a father would be dashed. Sole wasthe first person that made him really even think about fatherhood.They had a whole little pre-packaged family for him to squeeze into.He’d thought of himself as Shaun’s dad for a long time now, butactually hearing it come out of the kid’s mouth, it hits him rightsquare in the chest. He gets more choked up than he anticipated. Heactually has to bite down on the start of a whimpering sob, and itcomes out in a strained squeak. “You okay?” Shaun asks. Hancockclears his throat, but his voice still cracks when he says, “Y-yeah,squirt, I’m alright. Just got a uh, frog caught in my throat.” He’sbeaming the rest of the day.

Deacon- He’swearing his shades and a hat pulled low, face mostly hidden behind acrinkled newspaper, and Shaun passes him with a casual, “Hey dad.”Then he’s on his way again. He’s almost shaken. Not just because thatwas the first time Shaun had used that word, but because he’d soeasily seen through him, and not just his disguise. Deacon relied onbeing illusive, staying far enough from the bear trap that waspersonal attachments, lest he end up chewing off his own leg toescape when it inevitably clamped down too hard on him. Better toavoid them entirely, before they trapped you. He had been careless.Had let Shaun and Sole get close, and now his stomach churned fromthe wave of guilt pulling him under. Worse than his own neglect wasthe feeling of rightness in that word. It didn’t hit his ears asbeing inherently wrong, a word not meant to describe him, like‘Deacon’ had been once. He liked Shaun. He liked being 'dad’. Heliked being Shaun’s dad. He swipes off his glasses and pushes off hishat, more naked than he could remember being in years, and can onlylaugh at himself, baffled. “What am I gonna do with you, kid,” hemutters, but he knows the answer. He leaves his things behind andfollows the one, truest thing he has.  

Piper- Shaun hasactually called her 'mom’ several times before it really sticks outto her. She likely wouldn’t have noticed if Sole didn’t jokinglyrepeat the word once, after Shaun asks for a few caps to grab a bowlof noodles from Takahashi. It’s then that the full weight of it sinksin. A warmth instantly flushes through her chest and into her face,and she has to clap her hands on either side of her cheeks. “Hecalled me mom,” she says, incredulous. “I’m mom.” Sole can onlylaugh, “You know he’s been calling you that for weeks.” She feelsembarrassed at her own thick skull, but giddy at the same time. She’dbasically raised her little sister, yet Nat had no choice, she washer blood after all. That Shaun had chosen her, weighed his optionsand decided, yes, she was 'mom’- there were no words for it. She hadnever been more grateful, and when he returns from Takahashi, shesweeps him up in a hug that lasts long enough he complains loudly.And again he calls her 'mom’, in a petulant and drawn out groan thatstill makes her tear up.

Curie- It was hardcoming to terms with her feelings for Sole. They had been exceedinglypatient while she worked out the tangle of her new emotions, foundout how to live without stooping to the base impulses that insistedshe spend every moment in Sole’s wake. Like a rat tapping a buttonwired to the pleasure center of their brain until they died ofstarvation. She just felt good around them, and eventually, goodaround Shaun as well. She couldn’t imagine a life without either ofthem. It took time to temper that feeling, so new and alien to her,until she felt comfortable when not in their presence. Perhaps it wasthe already intense love she felt for both Shaun and Sole that madeaccepting motherhood easy for her. She knew the importance of amother in a child’s life, or at least a soft figure they could relyon, so she tried being that for him. The one constant in an otherwiseharsh world, eager to grant him no reprieve from the horrors beyondSanctuary and the protection of his parents. The first time he says,“Love you, mom.” she chokes up. It’s the first time her keenanalytical mind could make no sense of what she felt, the sensationstoo human and overwhelming, but she hugs him tightly and lets thetears pearl in her eyes. She loves him too, and somehow, knowing (orat least guessing) that he must have felt that same overfullsensation in his heart that she did in hers, she’s never felt sohuman.

Nick- Technically,he and Shaun might have been more closely biologically related thanShaun and Sole. So far as either of them were 'biological’ to beginwith. To him, Shaun and Sole were family, regardless of what any ofthem were made of. But being family and being a dad were twodifferent things, so when Shaun busts out that little one syllableword, it stops Nick dead in his tracks. He almost thinks he shortcircuited. “What was that?” Shaun looks up at and blinks. “Isaid thanks, dad.” There was definitely no mistake that time, thekid called him dad. He stares, completely dumbfounded, and swears hecan hear something audibly whirring in the back of his head as hiswheels spin uselessly. He doesn’t know how to respond. He just patshim on the top of his head, ruffles his hair just a bit, beforewalking out with a smile on his face and a warmth deep in his chest.It might have been petty to frame it this way, but he feels, for thefirst time, he has something the old Nick never had. Somethingentirely his own.

Cait- It makes hertense all the way up her neck and shoulders. Holy shit. The kidactually thought of her as a mother. She wasn’t a mother, shecouldn’t be, she didn’t have a maternal bone in her body. The onlymother figure she’d had in her life was the scum of the earth. If shewas a mom, she would be just like her, wouldn’t she? She would fuckup. She would make Shaun like her. She would infect him like her mominfected her. Hearing him say it almost sends her into a panicattack. She leaves without much warning and it takes an hour for herhands to stop shaking. All the shit she faced in the world and a kidcalling her 'mom’ was the thing that terrified her the most. Shealmost had to laugh at how pathetic that was. Only after hours oftalks and more than a few tears between her and Sole can she stand tohear the word without grimacing, but even then, it sends her mindbarreling through all the reasons she didn’t deserve the title.

MacCready- Hehadn’t impeded on Shaun’s life, had been working slowly, movingfurther in his life by increments. He didn’t waltz in the first day,slap a baseball cap on his head and insist Shaun call him 'Pops’. Hehad been a kid once, and any adult that tried too hard to seem likeone of the good ones was an adult he didn’t trust. Kids could pin aphony a mile away. So MacCready had been patient. Never oversteppedhis boundaries, and made sure Shaun knew he would respect linesdrawn, as most kids have never been told they could draw lines adultswould find worth respecting. It wasn’t long before Shaun ran to himfor an understanding ear and a shoulder to cry on. The first time hecalled him 'dad’ was through tears over a schoolyard taunt, and ittook every bit of strength he had not to end up bawling right alongwith him. When it was settled and he’d sent him away with a bit ofwisdom (“You can hit a kid in the face with a sock full ofmutfruits really, really hard and it doesn’t leave a mark. They can’tsnitch if there’s no proof you hit 'em.”) he’s left to run the wordover in his head again and again. His brain plays tug of war betweenjoy and a longing ache for his son so far from him.

Preston- He’dalways expected, when he had a little one of his own, that hearingthem say 'dad’ would be the highlight of his whole life. It is, in away, but there is no awe-stricken realization, no tears. Shaun is hisblood- what else would he call him? It isn’t that the title isunimportant, nor mundane, just that it feels so natural, it neverstrikes him as out of the ordinary. It’s what he is, after all. Thetrue importance only dawns on him when one day, while Shaun isplaying fetch with Dogmeat, and a settler nearby smiles at him. “Thatyour son?” No one ever asked him that. They never really had to, itwas no secret his relationship with Sole, and most people inSanctuary knew every detail of where Shaun had come from, wherePreston fit into the family. His chest swells unexpectedly at theprospect. At the thought that yes, Shaun was his son, and he his dad.He nods. “He seems like a happy boy,” the settler chuckles.Preston rubs the back of his neck, “Well, I’m trying…” And thatwas it really. He was trying to make him happy, keep him safe.Sometimes it was effortless, sometimes not, but he was trying, andthat was all he could be expected to do.

X6-88- A naggingpedantic streak told him that no, he was not Shaun’s father, couldnever hope to be half the man Father had been. For all hisconflicting feelings on the Institute, the Shaun he had known wasstill a man he respected, had admired, as much as a Courser wascapable of that sort of thing. They were built for cold calculationsand solid logic- idolatry was never a facet of their programming.Even beyond not measuring up to the man himself, X6 found it hard totake the innocent comment in the way Shaun likely intended it. As away to convey how Shaun saw him. He had never been overly familiarwith either Shaun or Sole, even after the months they’d beentogether, as gentle as Sole had tried to be with him. They had wantedto ease him into a more human place in the world, but it hadn’treally clicked for him. Yet he couldn’t deny the way that word fellon him, with a heavy and comfortable sort of weight, like a burden hesomehow knew he could carry. Wanted to carry, wanted to be close tothe boy and Sole, wanted to be called that again and again, wanted toallow himself to want in the first place. For the first time in hisexistence, X6 found himself wanting something, a selfishness he,until then, would have considered himself incapable of. He wantedthis.

Danse- With nomemories of his own parents, or any family to speak of in Rivet City,Shaun and Sole had come to mean a lot to him. He loved them, and themere presence of that deep well of emotion made him feel human, likehe felt before the revelation that saw him banished from theBrotherhood of Steel. That Shaun was like any other kid, that helpedtoo. That gave him hope. When Shaun looks up at him with bright eyesand ends a simple question with a casual “Is that ok, dad?” Danseis struck with just how unprepared he is for it. He wrestles with howto answer, this is a big moment hidden in something small, after all.Does he let himself tear up? Does he hug him? What he settles onfeels alien and uncomfortable for him, but he reaches down to ruffleShaun’s hair and in a voice that is almost not his own, says, “Sure,s-…son?” Of all the reactions he could have gone for, he lands onthe one that hits him as the most awkward. Shaun can only arch abrow. “Uh… ok. Thanks, dad?” The word 'son’ slips once more outof his mouth and he has never been so thankful for Shaun’s departure,so he can bury his face in his hands. He’s happy, but he’s alsoembarrassing.
