#omg what do you think of this super problematic anime ship

[enigmaticpink]

I know I used to be really heavy into fandom discourse but now I've gotten to the point where I can say if you bust out discourse terms against someone randomly and unprompted you're really chronically online. I had someone tell me I was giving off proshipper vibes bcus I said something about not harassing people (which I still stand by) and I gotta tell u I cringed so hard bcus who actually uses discourse terms irl

[pleasantspark]

Howdy! Im real sorry to bother you and like, feel free to ignore this or delete it if you want, but i wanted to ask somthing? I was super interested in your tf safe haven server and i don't consider myself a proshipper at ALL (and im fairly argumentative against proshippers which has gotten me on a few blocklists over the years) but i saw that you count blitzbee as a proship and i wanted to ask about that? Idk, ive seen some people say they think bee is a kid, but i just always saw him as a young adult, hsving gone through bootcamp and having a job and all that. Of course, you may mean it as in the agegap in general which i can also see being pretty uncomfortable for some. Again, i dont want to like, force you to talk sbout this and im certainly not arguing with you, i just want to know what your thoughts on this were? I think your serve sounds super cool though, even if i cant join, and im really sorry it got the initial reaction it got from proshippers.

In all honesty I don't feel comfortable as most instances of Bumblebee have him as the kid of the group a "young" scout. Besides the relationship can be quite abusive imo. Which is kind of problematic and quite triggering for me to have in my server. I've been in countless abusive relationships where the dynamic was overbalanced because the other party had a unfair advantage and I couldn't consent with my mental illness'

View this as such. Would technically BlitzBee be an appropriate ship if the two of them were older and Blitz was a autobot? Numerous times you see Bumblebee and Blitzwings relationship in the show as hostile and not friendly. The same with MegaScream (Which is why I stopped updating my MegaScream fanfiction because it was starting to make me uncomfortable.)

Do I hate proshippers and wish desth on them? No. Do I think their unpleasant to be around? Yes. But just because I don't enjoy them being on my page mean I'm an anti. I have the right to deny people access to my tumblr and server. People have no filter when it comes to my trauma.

Which brings us back to my point. If you see every other instance of Bee in the media (Minus the Bayverse and Knightverse cause it SUCKS) hes regarded as the child and youngest member of the Autobots as seen in G1, and Animated.

Although the other ones are up in the air, but mostly speaking, the huge problem all and all isn't because of the ship it's the way people portray Bee as.

They portray him as an uwu softie little boy and Blitzwing as the big bad OMG I CAN FIX him sort of deal. The issue ot brings is that Bee is portrayed as weak as a little kid which is wildly problematic and doesn't help anyone's case. Bee doesn't need anyone and should instead focus on what he needs to do as Blitzwing holds far more power over him (I Headcanon Bee as Autistic and ADHD coded). It's all my opinion and the haven server is literally dead so no point in joining anyways.

Favorite Twilight blogs?

i’m always ready to answer this ask again because i love mentioning everyone i admire hehe. here are my fave blogs, my friends, & why they’re the best. ♡

@bellasredchevy ugh i love kae. do i have the power to appoint a ruler of the renaissance? no. but if i could... it’d be kae bc all her takes are the takes. i think her answers to asks are always either really funny and witty or just really smart. she’s super kind but she’s also a very no bullshit person because she’ll tell it like it is to shitty anons. she also has really cool life experiences that she’ll very casually mention and you’re like i’m sorry what. u worked w... tigers??? why can’t i let that go this is literally not the first time i’ve brought that up lmao. anyways, if kae told me to jump off a cliff (recreationally and recklessly), i’d do it. 

@inthemiddleofmymidnight i think kim is the first friend i made on here. she’s wonderful and insanely funny. maybe i’m just easy to make laugh but every story she tells truly makes me laugh out loud... and i’ll laugh again thinking about it later. she is truly a meme queen. her posts... chef’s kiss. also she will put team edward/team jacob shirts in ur animal crossing able’s sisters if u ask. i love u kimmie im ur biggest fan. also like me, kim would be afraid to dive off the cliff if we were cliff diving but then she’d be the one to PUSH me sdhjfhsj i just love her so much. her friendship literally means so much to me!!

@bellaskhakis nayana is the type to go from trashing edward relentlessly to simping for edward in 2 seconds. in real life she’s probably stressing over school but mentally she is in forks, wa in bella & edward’s lil cottage reading fanfiction. if u need recommendations, she’s got u. she’s a great listener & friend & her humor is like wonderfully chaotic. she’ll cry but then she’ll take that energy and drunk liveblog the twilight movies or buy a bunch of plants. if ur friends w her, she will send u all the funny tiktoks & that is LOVE. nay would think she would want to cliff dive but then need to talk herself into it while everyone else goes first and then realize she was the last person up there and freak out but then dive anyways

@cullen-collective omg kaity is such a great person to talk to. she’s like jacob – she’s an easy person to talk to. she listens but also really makes u feel comfortable & like u’ve been friends forever. kaity don’t read the rest of this paragraph i don’t want u to feel self conscious/overly self aware hehe BUT my fave part of kaity’s blogs as i’ve said to her before is like the literal stream of consciousness happening in her tags. why do i feel like kaity would run and JUMP. would she do a cannonball??? i would like to see it

@teamjacobthot my love for dij... unconditional. irrevocable. dee is just like COOL. why did i feel so lame saying that. she just has the best energy and i know i keep calling everyone funny but really dee is FUNNY. like kaity, she’s also the kind of person that i feel like you just automatically get along with & feel comfortable around. obviously we’re all here for fun but i feel like dee’s blog really embodies that fun like no other because either in her posts or notes or answers to asks... it’s the most chaotic unexpected topics that will truly kill u. im thinking of that freaking diarrhea ask she got that she just reblogged again... cursed. but i love her. look i’m not saying she WOULD bc i’m sure it’s probably much scarier once ur actually up there but i feel like dee would also be the instigator with cliff diving and do some kind of trick like a flip idk if she really would but MAYBE

@howlonghaveyoubeenseventeen emma is the ultimate sweetie. always down to talk abt cute dogs or painting or disney channel movies or how jacob is superior to all. she’s just precious and kind but ready to THROW DOWN for u in one second. i literally have been laughing at the same joke for like two weeks but when i said two hurricanes looked like they were coming towards houston she said “good thing i have two fists” shdusdjdkd. emma is the type of friend who would remind u that if u really don't want to jump off the cliff, don’t feel peer pressured bc u don’t have to. but then if u built up the courage, she’d be the one to hold ur hand and jump with u. ok i’m retiring the cliff diving thing i’m sorry i really RAN with that.

@kaquiche man i love taryn. i feel like taryn’s meme usage is always perfect & also she would definitely save ur life. she does ARCHERY ok she would protect us all in the event of a zombie apocalypse. i’m literally fighting the urge to say FUNNY again but it’s not my fault if everyone makes me LAUGH here. taryn’s one of the first people i remember seeing interact w my posts 🥺 she been supporting me since DAY ONE baby. i just love her. she’ll hype u up. she’ll always make u CRY with her twilight video edits. seriously if u want that emo twilight content to make u FEEL SOMETHING... this is who to follow.

@bellas-dumptruck-ass i love elaine and she’s going to laugh at me again but i really think elaine is so smart!!! like a genius... my brain could not process the info that she’s literally studying like it’s no big deal. elaine is so sweet ugh i keep saying that but everyone is just really super kindhearted here ok!! her username KILLS me. like i think this is truly peak comedy. her brand... it’s everything to me. classic memes & great tags.

@phil-dwyer-stan-account addison is SO SO nice and understanding and sensitive. if nayana is in bella & edward’s cottage reading, addison is in there baking bread and cookies and brownies. she’s beautiful and sweet and silly and has the disney channel TEA you didn’t know you needed. she’s another person that will instantly befriend you. she’ll go out of her way to really let you know that she admires you & is excited to be ur friend. the actual definition of a sweetheart. is she the real life esme?? she might be

@volturialice g... i’m lowkey her biggest fan. name a post that didn’t go off...i’ll wait. like literally all of her memes will make u laugh. u know what?? g IS the twilight renaissance. her latest midnight sun posts have especially been making me die and if you’re new here, she’s probably like one of the first blogs u have to follow. every time i see her username in my notifications... my heart is FAT 💗 also she writes fanfics so if ur looking for twilight fanfiction, she has a bunch & also a rec!!

@leahclearwaterdefensesquad kate is so kind & one of my go to people for tag games, but kate is ALWAYS providing the leah content that we NEED. also the lesbian twilight ship moodboards and PLAYLISTS. i also really appreciate how kate & @vampireguarddogs are always some of the first blogs i see that boost a lot of important talking points related to the series on racism. bc if you’re going to be in this fandom, there’s a lot you need to make sure you’re educated on since this series is problematic. like we’re all here to be nostalgic and have fun but we can’t do that whilst ignoring relevant conversations. dee & kae also always have great takes in these discussions too!

@edytheelizabethcullen ok i’m going to try & wrap this up bc i’ve been going on forever and there’s a lot of blogs i really love & admire, but i’ll finish by saying that alex is an actual angel and so intelligent and charming and u will have great conversations about the series with her!!

BnHA Chapter 243: Happy New Year

Previously on BnHA: The government was all “shit what are we going to do about Shigaraki Tomura and his Actual Fucking Army of villains, oh I know, why don’t we draft some child soldiers” and so they brought back internships and made them mandatory. Class 1-A had the Christmas party to end all Christmas parties, featuring 20 unique custom-tailored Santa costumes, enough chicken to feed Tomura’s entire Actual Fucking Army, and one (1) giant sword that somehow made its way into the hands of Eri, First of Her Name. Tidings of comfort and joy were had by all, and to cap things off, Shouto invited Bakugou (who by the way was having a lot of thoughts about how Best Jeanist asked him to reveal his new hero name the next time they met, because Horikoshi knows what kind of angst I like) and Deku to come intern with him at the motherfucking Endeavor Hero Agency and make everyone’s OT3 dreams come true.

Today on BnHA: Deku visits his mom on New Year’s Eve and the two of them ball out at the Make Me Cry Olympics. There is a whole plotline all about Hawks getting coffee, and I’m trying to figure out if it’s really just coffee or if THE ENTIRE SERIES SECRETLY HINGES ON THIS ONE SCENE omg. The next day at the Endeavor Hero Agency, Endeavor is all, “welcome! fuck you,” which may or may not be setting the tone for this whole arc. There’s a brief flashback to All Might congratulating his sons on their internship and saying foreshadowing things like “your new quirks probably won’t go fucking apeshit again” and “you’re a lot like Endeavor, this internship will be good for you!” Back in the present, Endeavor dramatically leaps over a railing and blasts off to go fight Monk Gyatso with the disaster trio hot on his heels. Hawks then shows up out of nowhere and the text is literally all, “WHAT’S HAWKS DOING HERE?” and seriously though. What are any of us even doing here. This arc has only just started and I already have no idea what’s going on and I fucking love it.

(All comments are my unspoiled reactions from my initial readthrough of the chapter. I did a quick edit for grammar and clarity immediately afterward, and added a few ETAs in the process, but aside from that there are no changes.)

loooool

is she going to be all right

-- also! WE’RE GOING TO SEE THE PARENTS AGAIN HOMG YES. HORIKOSHI YOU’RE ON FIRE WEEK AFTER WEEK YOU MAD DOG

(ETA: literally the only way he could end his streak was by going on fucking hiatus. son of a.)

oh shit I forgot that they had the cover and a color page this week! this is great

by the light (ba da dum ba da dum) of the silvery moon (ba da dum ba da dum) I want to spoon -- holy shit, what. do you ever look up the lyrics to a song you vaguely remember from your childhood twenty-five years later in order to make a bizarre joke in a manga recap and you’re like “!!?!?” lol what the fuck. this shit is from 1909. old timey pervs

anyways this may be my favorite Jump cover ever. colors are amazing, art is super cute, it’s the whole package. Aoyama and Iida are killing me. I need that Iida ball in real life, I would seriously pay real money

and now the color spread!

where can I buy that U.A. hoodie. I’m not kidding, I need it in my life. the U.A. logo is great because it doesn’t scream “LOOK AT ME I’M AN ANIME FAN” unless the other person also watches said anime, in which case that’s awesome because the two of you can become best friends and bond over how you’re both nerds with impeccable taste

Kacchan out here holding a fucking root beer like we don’t all know the truth. yeah tough guy you go to bed at eight-thirty and you’re third in your class at the top high school in Japan. but you keep on trying to preserve that image. also this kid is singlehandedly making wifebeaters high fashion I swear to god. it’s a talent

Kirishima looks so good in v-neck shirts yes you go Kiri!

Mina is here!! Mina is part of the main character squad now, everyone! that’s right!! Iida Tenya was booted out after he refused to partake in this photo shoot due to moral outrage over the fact that they’re shooting this at what appears to be a crime scene. a vacuum cleaner was murdered in cold blood omg

Ochako not smiling is such an unusual look for her (and Mina and Kirishima too for that matter) but holy shit. I like it

TODOROKI I’M TRYING TO REACH THROUGH THE COMPUTER SCREEN AND UNBUTTON YOUR TOP BUTTON. HOLY SHIT HOW CAN YOU EVEN BREATHE. RELAX

so the new character book is out October 4, eh? I think we knew this already, but maybe this time the date will actually stick in my mind. anyways, so doing the math, that leaves Kacchan three more chapters (including this one) to reveal his hero name. boy you have a deadline get to work!

YESSSSSSSSSSS

MY NEW YEAR’S ARC MAY NOT BE HAPPENING, BUT AT LEAST WE STILL GET TO SEE THEM RING IN 2217 HOORAY

damn that’s a lot of narration in the first panel

“while accompanied by guards” oh shit. and yet, I get it. I like how they refer to it as “the chain of events that led us to move into the dorms” rather than “that time Bakugou got fucking kidnapped.” they are not letting that happen again. good

IZUMAMA YESSSS

at least he’s being open with her about it! come on Inko, push through this. he’s already got 240 other things he’s still not telling you, don’t give him any more reason to keep being secretive

oh my god now Deku is like “anyways do you remember Eri?” and he’s reaching into his pocket now, holy shit?? WHATEVER HE’S PULLING OUT IS GOING TO BE SO FUCKING CUTE, ISN’T IT

oH MY GOD!!!!!

THIS SON OF A BITCH IS JUST GONNA KEEP ON AMASSING A COLLECTION OF ADORABLE AND HILARIOUS LITTLE KID LETTERS, ISN’T HE. LISTEN HERE DEKU YOU MOTHERFUCKER!! THAT PIC OF “MISTER DEKU” IS -- I’M -- !!!!

“I was hardly able to do anything for her” ?? you SAVED HER LIFE?? you BODYSLAMMED OVERHAUL INTO THE GROUND?? YOU GOT US ALL OUT OF THAT ACCURSED BASEMENT? listen here you modest little shit you need to stop doing this. you even taught her the true meaning of quirks for crying out loud. you are the actual best

god the way he is staring at this letter is giving me too many feels for a Thursday afternoon. these are like Saturday night feels. this manga never goes easy on me

same Inko same

oh my god now Inko is launching into a speech about Deku’s sad childhood I can’t with this, MA’AM PLEASE

“covered in bruises” oh my problematic ship. oh this nuanced manga with its intricate layers of feels. this is the lasagna of mangas

hello page 3 is just one big assault on all my emotions and I would like to report this to someone help I am being besieged

oh my fucking god Midoriya family. I’m trying to process all of this and just!!

like. she’s known all this time how big his heart is and that he doesn’t care about himself and just wants to protect others. but for the longest time he was powerless to do it. but still he kept dreaming and she kept looking on waiting for that day he’d finally give up, ready for his heart to break, bracing herself. and then this miracle happened and he got a quirk and all his hopes came true and he got to go to his dream school, and now he’s training to become a hero just like he always wanted

and everything special she always saw about her boy is shining so brightly now, and everyone can see it, and he’s become so strong. but also he’s growing up so fast. he’s gone from being someone she had to protect to someone who’s strong enough to protect not only her, but everyone. strong enough to carry the world on his shoulders

just. can you even imagine. how much pride she must feel, in addition to the relief she’s expressing now. but also the loneliness of knowing she can’t hold on to her baby boy forever and he’s on the verge of going out into the world and leaving her. in fact he basically already has. anyways I came here today for some Three Musketeers antics and now I’m sitting her with Izumama empty nest feels, what is this

-- yo, what?? he’s starting the internship on New Year’s Fucking Day? U.A. doesn’t fuck around, goddamn

(ETA: seriously, no rest for the weary here. both Endeavor and Hawks are as busy as ever too. poor Hawks, who never wanted to be a hero to begin with, spent New Year’s Eve undercover trying to drown his sorrows in sugary coffee. of course, Jeanist is spending his New Year’s either in hiding or dead, so.)

anyways so he’s bidding his mom goodbye and getting onto a bus, and he’s all bundled up in a scarf but can’t be assed to wear a jacket, apparently. whatever Deku

AHHHH WHAT IS THIS NOW

AND OH MY GOD LOOK WHERE HE IS

THE LEAGUE OF PLIFF’S HEADQUARTERS AT THE OL’ OVERLOOK HOTEL. watch out for the elevators. Toga probably really likes them though

“where did you run off to number 2” um, he’s still a top ranked pro hero? what, do they just expect him to never do his job ever again? even if they think he’s on their side, they must realize that he needs to maintain his so-called cover

anyways, fucking Slidin’ Go is back, guys. when is someone going to punch this slippery bitch in the face

wow he’s seriously chewing Hawks out for flying off without permission. can someone please just deck this mouthbreather already

oh my god

this motherfucker really truly believes he is Hawks’s senpai. imagine having the same power as a fucking banana peel, and being so deluded you actually think you outrank a double agent of indispensable value, who also just so happens to be Dabi’s best friend, and oh yes, THE NUMBER TWO FUCKING HERO. I don’t even know where to begin with you, Slidin’ Go

oh snap but he’s immediately being called out on his BS lol this is great

twenty microdevices?? holy shit. that’s gonna make it really difficult for him to actually report back to the heroes

maybe if the PSC gives him twenty of their own little spy cams. then the only challenge is for him to try and remember which are which

lmao look at this little metaphorical drawing

isn’t this the Hyrule Castle level from Breath of the Wild

anyways don’t mind me, I’m just sitting here trying to figure out if there’s a double meaning to these two panels

is Skeptic just really bad at making small talk, or is there something here that I’m totally missing?? did he witness something during Hawks’s coffee run?

(ETA: this seriously reads to me as some kind of coded threat, but it makes no sense given the rest of the conversation. he goes on and on about how useful Hawks will be in helping them spy on the heroes, but then calls attention to him sneaking out to buy a single can of coffee. in conclusion I am probably overthinking this way too much, but it’s odd. maybe he really is just trying to be nice and coming off as weird and creepy.)

now we’re flashing back to Hawks’s last report to the PSC

if this is after he met up with Dabi then why does he still have the bag? WHEN WILL THIS STOP HAUNTING ME. I’M SO TIRED OF WAKING UP AT NIGHT IN A COLD SWEAT ONLY TO SEE HAWK’S BACKPACK STANDING THERE RIGHT NEXT TO MY BED, WATCHING

-- SDLKGHSLDKHFL

lmao this scared the shit out of me. Enji what the fuck

yesssss it’s mah boisssss

wow, he’s pretty weirdly enthused about the whole thing, huh? I expected him to bitch about it more. since Shouto basically offered his friends the gig all on his own without any consultation whatsoever. that’s called nepotism Shouto but it’s okay I forgive you

anyways. so are the Endeavor offices located in THE FUTURE. or what. is this Epcot

DKFJWELKFJL

LOL THAT’S MORE LIKE IT. FOR A MOMENT I THOUGHT WE HAD SLIPPED INTO SOME WEIRD ALTERNATE UNIVERSE

hahaha exactly

well I’m glad I’m not going crazy, at any rate. anyways though, Endeavor trying his best to be a good dad and caving in to his son’s ridiculous demands because he’s trying to make up for TWO DECADES OF BEING COMPLETE GARBAGE is pleasing to me as always. deal with it Endeav

HE SAID DEAL WITH IT!!

oh my god Katsuki is saying something holy shit, the next few panels will set the stage for what could be the sleeper hit character dynamic of the year. ghghkghhhhhh

( ⁰ o ⁰ )

oh my god

(ETA: Katsuki I have written whole essays about how perceptive you are and then you just. sob. now that he’s finally starting to ease up on the whole Angry Asshole thing, his inner dumbass is really shining through.)

YES HE IS AND THERE’S NOTHING YOU CAN DO, YOUR BOURGEOIS SON HAS FALLEN IN WITH THIS CHURLISH ROUGHNECK FROM THE HOOD, DIE MAD ABOUT IT!!

lmaooo

that mental image omfg. HE WILL PUT UP WITH THIS SUFFERING IN ORDER TO GET CLOSER TO HIS GOAL. what a sacrifice. the pros outweighed the cons. it’s logic. I can’t, I

and Endeavor being so fucking mad that Shouto picked this asshole to be his new best friend sob. YOU CAN’T STOP THEIR BROMANCE IT IS UNFOLDING BEFORE YOUR VERY EYES

anyways I love everything and I’m all set for the mentoring to begin. bring it onnnn

so now Deku is being surprisingly earnest and thanking Endeavor for accepting them into his agency

and we’re getting our first glimpse of Deku’s Upgraded Feelings About Endeavor oooooh juicy

Deku is so good at seeing into people’s hearts. and so forgiving. we already knew he was -- the inciting event that led to the whole fucking series wouldn’t have even happened if he wasn’t -- but I’m honestly still so impressed every time I see it

(ETA: and also, this means that he still went and told him off during the sports festival even though he was scared of him. kid is the fucking role model to end all role models.)

also I’m already sensing that this chapter (and indeed, this entire arc) is going to prompt more Discourse up in the ol’ fandom. that’s going to be fun. anyways, I’ve already essayed more than once regarding Endeavor’s redemption arc, so I’m not going to spend too much time hashing out the same old points. but basically my stance is I’m fine with it. I think it’s good to show that people can change no matter how far they’ve gone down the wrong path. it may not be easy, but if they’re genuinely remorseful, and if the desire is there, then why not? I’m not gonna get up in arms because someone is trying to become a better person. the alternative is that they stay terrible, and that doesn’t help anyone

anyway, so now we’re flashing back to what appears to be a conversation with All Might, and oh my god

but you guys. listen. Katsuki is there, again. they’re not even discussing OFA this time and he’s still there! elbowed his way into this mentorship like the determined little shit he is, and now he’s not leaving and you all just have to deal with it. oh my god it’s everything I ever wanted, someone please pinch me is this real??

lol and now they are discussing OFA, but that’s okay. it’s only natural that would also be on the agenda

really, All Might?

you consider that “just fine”? that bloop? just as planned?? I know you love your son, but maybe consider raising the bar for him just a little bit. he is capable of so much more, and now of all times is not the time to go easy on him

and he’s still talking about the SIXQUIRKS as though unlocking more of them right now would be a bad thing. I really think this is the wrong approach. maybe I just want to see Deku go buck wild and fucking lose it though, idk

Katsuki has no patience for this either

“I don’t doubt it.” please Deku we’re not worthy of you and your wholesomeness. and he’s so sincere, too?? how does Kacchan continuously absorb all of this shameless admiration and affection day after day, week after week. how is he not humbled by it

anyways time to shut up about that though because All Might is now mentoring Bakugou directly and this requires my full fucking attention

yessss let the character development commence! I’m so excited ddhkshl

and now we’re back in the present and the conversation is taking a very interesting turn!

YES! HE DID! DO YOU REMEMBER? YOU WEREN’T REALLY PAYING ATTENTION BEFORE BECAUSE YOU WERE STILL IN ASSHOLE MODE. what do you have to say about it now?

...

mysterious

what

(ETA: “is he always like this?”)

lol what

hahaha. this arc is off to a fucking hysterical start

oh snap y’all look at this

100% chance Deku is right fucking behind him lol. probably they all are

YEP

BITCH, WHO THE FUCK DID YOU THINK YOU WERE DEALING WITH. YOU THOUGHT THESE WERE JUST ANY OLD INTERNS?? FUCK YOU, THESE ARE PREMIUM, CLUB-LEVEL, OCEAN VIEW INTERNS, YOU UNAPPRECIATIVE LOUT. YOU INGRATE

lol but he’s not missing a beat though, and he’s ordering them to stay behind and watch him oh shit. what is even going on

now we’re cutting to some fucking yogi bobbing around town in a lotus position screaming about a divine revelation he received from fucking space. okay

AHHH WHAT

HAWKS IS ALREADY GETTING IN ON THE ACTION, JESUS CHRIST. DOES THIS FUCKER EVER PUT ON THE BRAKES?? THIS ARC IS LIKE TWELVE DIFFERENT PLOTLINES INTERSECTING ALL AT ONCE AND I CAN BARELY KEEP UP. THIS SHIT IS A TRAINWRECK WAITING TO HAPPEN AND I’M STANDING HERE MESMERIZED

BUT!!!

cue Celine Dion’s “All by Myself” while I fall down dramatically nooooo. the lord giveth and he taketh away. YOU OPENED A DOOR AND CLOSED THE WINDOW YOU BASTARD sob why

well shit. and that means that Katsuki has only one chapter left to reveal his hero name, too. (ETA: keeping track of the important things here lol.) and somehow I don’t see that happening unless the focus of the next chapter takes a very dramatic shift, since we seem to be launching into full plot mode before any of us even have our seatbelts on. not that I’m complaining about that because sdkljk

anyways. see y’all in two weeks I guess. the My Plots Academia arc sure is off to a crazy fucking start

[kinetic-elaboration]

July 9: Star Trek 1x05 The Enemy Within

Today’s ep: The Enemy Within. Overall this is a good ep, but I don’t know that I entirely agree with its thesis, and some parts of it are so uncomfortable that they mess with my general enjoyment.

Kirk, being encouraging of his crew: “That will make a good specimen.” I like how it’s just one line but there’s such confidence about him. They have to remind you of his normal self fast because he’s split for 99% of the episode.

Sulu: “That’s nippy.” I love Sulu.

So they just find an alien dog on the planet and decide to steal it? Lol your fav is problematic Enterprise crew.

(Like how they just never explained why they sent the dog up by itself later lol.)

I forgot that it was the ore that messed with the transporter. That’s a cool idea; makes sense. Alien ore gets in your system now weird stuff happens.

Evil Kirk appears and no one sees him--that’s why you don’t leave the transporter room unattended like Kirk said!!

Honestly imagine how wild seeing this when it first aired and not knowing much about Star Trek would be. Weird new sci fi show’s been on for a month and suddenly there are two Captains!! What!?!?

Even the way Evil!Kirk touches the ship is lascivious.

Bones is a good doctor. He really does have a good bedside manner; I don’t feel like people remember this about him enough.

He also keeps brandy in sickbay lol.

This scene with gratuitously shirtless Kirk and distracted Spock... it doesn’t look anything less like a porno in context honestly. I know Spock is supposed to be distracted because he’s hearing information that doesn’t make sense but Kirk is just so obviously turning on the flirt face (aka his usual face with Spock) and he’s shirtless so... the distraction is real and multi-faceted.

Ooh, Janice is an artist! I love her little rotating mirror thing.

This scene is so terrible. Really upsets me. Surely they could have found some way to portray ‘pure selfish id’ without going immediately to sexual assault.

Evil!Kirk wears so much eye makeup.

It’s interesting to me that Good!Kirk is so obviously not the real Kirk either, right from the moment he steps off the transporter. (Not to be that person again but Shatner is a better actor than people give him credit for being.)

Spock will save the day! I know that Rand calls for him because he’s First Officer but it’s still interesting that she goes for that name over, like, security.

Evil!Kirk is also where Kirk keeps all his dramatic tendencies.

I feel so bad for Janice in this scene. “What was I supposed to do? He’s the Captain.” Anyway this is why this is still a problem.

That dog omg.

“Set phasers to stun.”

“The search party is to capture you.” Yeah, that’s hard to explain. “Hey, crew, we’re going to play a little game of hide and seek. I’ll hide first.”

Man this conversation between Kirk and Spock. Leadership is one of my favorite themes in ST and Kirk is probably my favorite fictional leader of all time okay so this means a lot to me. “You don’t have the right to be vulnerable in the eyes of the crew.”

Spock is honestly just so on Kirk’s side, at every single moment. He believes him, trusts him, knows who he is, is loyal to him, is honest with him, knows how to handle him, how to care for him.

Spock likes the dog. He likes animals, in general.

The phaser vocab is so different this early on. “Base cycle.”

Good thing Kirk has makeup readily available to cover up his scratches.

My mom suggested transporting some blankets to the planet. But what if they split into evil blankets!! (Interesting that inanimate objects DO split too though.)

I feel like Kirk tried to do a Vulcan nerve pinch there lol.

“If I’m to be the Captain, I’ve got to act like one.” Immediately goes to a shot of his evil self climbing on equipment.

Spock: I always have a point.”

Spock listing out Kirk’s good qualities: his intellect, compassion, love, tenderness. Telling, lol. A lot of synonyms for how much he loves and admires Kirk. Kirk appreciation hour.

“If I seem insensitive to what you’re going through, Captain, understand: it’s the way I am.” I love this line, it’s perfect, because it has two meanings: how I am is unemotional, which causes me to seem insensitive; but also: I go through what you’re going through all the time, it’s how I am.

“Lower us down a pot of hot coffee or some rice wine.”

Poor Kirk, so many struggles, not enough snuggles.

There’s no way people could live through those temperatures in those clothes and not die. Sulu calling for room service. I love him. (Why did they drop his sense of humor in the movies???)

“A thoughtless, brutal animal... yet it’s me.”

I have a lot of mixed feelings about the main thesis of this ep. But. I do love that Kirk’s courage is in his good side.

And so much compassion....”Don’t hurt him. Don’t hurt my evil side.”

Poor animal. Goes through such a confusing experience. Then dies.

Second Officer Spock. I’ve seen people make a big deal out of this but it’s pretty obvious to me this is supposed to mean “Second in command.” As in Kirk is the “First Officer” as the Captain and Spock is second. He behaves in all ways as the second in command, right down to making that log entry at all.

The AOS verse should have rebooted this ep instead of Space Seed (I say every single episode). I mean, STID had as a theme “Kirk learning what it means to command.” That could be tied in! Also can you imagine, two CPines? Two??

Half alien Spock.

Jim’s compassion is paralyzing him.

Aaaand we’re back on the creepy train with Evil!Kirk.

Evil!Kirk doesn’t care about the crew at all. He can make decisions fast because he only cares about himself, so there’s always an easy answer.

Of course he and everyone else looks to Spock as the authority on Kirks.

Evil!Kirk knows he’s not the dominant one here, that re-combining with Good!Kirk means a certain ‘death’ or at least... being sent back to the depths.

Spock at the transporter as if this were even his department lol.

“I’ve seen a part of myself no man should ever see.”

That flirty face he gives Spock though oml. Get a room.

Ugh Spock’s last comment was so ragingly inappropriate. Hate it. But also, read it as an expression of his own extreme jealousy because he’s definitely a jealous person. Just put through the ‘sexist 60s man’ dialogue-writer translator.

So again, I like the idea of this ep and a lot of the details but the details I don’t like are......hard to ignore.

I liked that the bad side was dramatic, selfish, confused, entitled, and it made sense that he was violent and even lustful. And I liked that Kirk had such a hard time seeing that part of himself and acknowledging it. And I do think it's a good lesson/message that we need to understand our own worst impulses and that those impulses are part of us and maybe even tied to parts of us that we need. But the implication that everyone's a little rapey and that the events of this episode necessarily mean Janice has to work for someone she knows is inappropriately lustful toward her just... are really hard for me to entirely get over.

Honestly her reaction just really makes me so sad. And it annoys me that no one stands up for her, no one says that the Captain was wrong and she didn’t deserve that treatment, “imposter” or no. I guess that's what bothers me more than that Evil!Kirk went immediately to assault, b/c the idea IS that he is lustful, violent, and completely selfish. He cares about himself, his survival, his ship, what he owns, what he deserves. Maybe it is natural he would let the power go to his head and seek out someone who he knows he could manipulate easily into giving him something he wants. Maybe it's no different in a way from stranding the crew on the planet. But no one says "hey, that's wrong what he did. You're entitled to respect from the Captain." And I wish someone had.

I recognize this was made in 1966 and I do generally give ST credit within the context within which it was made, but I am a 2020 viewer and the ep certainly hits home given, you know, everything, so... just some thoughts.

Anyway, another thing I was thinking about during the ep was that I feel like I forget that Spock has two "warring halves" b/c he's half human. Because before he put it that way, I was thinking about how the war in him is between his natural Vulcan emotions and his Vulcan teachings. But now I wonder if the whole "Vulcans are super emotional" thing might actually be quite late in the canon, and initially they were intended to be naturally "emotionless.” But basically I don’t actually know how I headcanon the human and Vulcan halves of him interacting... You’d think I would lol but my take in haicg was really... pretty focused on the Vulcanness of him. I guess I thought of the human half as more of a cultural thing because physically, emotionally, psychologically, and physiologically he appears to be primarily Vulcan.

Talking about this more with my mom, it’s making more sense to me... it is cultural and it’s about expectations. He wants to “honor his father’s teachings” and be Vulcan. But he has a whole half, a whole side of his family, with different teachings and beliefs--what to do with them? When he’s around Vulcans, they are obsessed with his human side. When he’s around humans, they see him as fully Vulcan--which is much easier for him and why he seeks them out imo--but it also is a constant ignoring of part of him he feels guilty for ignoring. When McCoy tells him to be more emotional, does a part of him wonder if he should? For his mom? But then... Vulcans don’t choose to be logical for fun. It’s for safety, it’s for survival. So how can he do anything else but follow his father? Who he also doesn’t speak to for 20 years and has a super complicated relationship with! So it’s difficult.

Anyway. That was an emotionally intense experience for this human person. The next ep is Mudd’s Women, one of the weaker S1 offerings, but still a classic as per usual.

[i-growl-growl-growl]

It’s honestly sad that I respect 2D men more than actual real life men 💀💀💀 but honestly same. Shinso and Chisaki are my children and they can do whatever the fuck they want with me. AND DABI!!! Omg 💀💀💀 someone just shoot me now I always end up thirsting over psychopaths 😭😭 I haven’t watched Haikyuu yet tho :0 is it good? :D (as I’m writing this Want by Taemin turned on and he’s my ult bias atm so RIP ME hard stan mode it is 😭😭) ~ Food Anon ;3

honestly tho, it’s so much easier because they’re literally written out word for word what kind of character they are 😔😔😔 welcome to this side of tumblr where we thirst over stalkers, abusers, and psycho/sociopaths 😺😺😺🤲

haikyuu is just so fun. i HATE watching sports and so i was a bit surprised when people were all talking about a volleyball anime. but lo and behold, it’s seriously so much more than just volleyball. you can’t really hate a character and they have amazing backstories and characters that seem so real. their friendships and sportsmanship is so pure and their more complex characters are so interesting to analyze such as oikawa tooru. but overall, the fandom is so whole and aside from the few hate anons (don’t worry tho, we’re all super supportive and it’s bound to happen in any fandom), it’s so enjoyable!

like i said earlier, i started writing on tumblr because i loved the ask function and how easy it was to just start making friends and mutuals. i used to write on wattpad and was really let down at how difficult it was to send in comments and i was pretty scared about revealing my account, so having an anonymous option was what won me over. however, even though ive been writing for about a year and a half on tumblr, i only started making friends and mutuals in the last two months when i dipped my toe in the anime waters haha.

personally, it was difficult talking to a lot of nct writers because they seemed a bit unapproachable and intimidating. i still believe that multi part fics are superior in the kpop fandom, but haikyuu writers (anime in general) seemed more dimensional and fun(?) i think it was because there wasn’t the stress of scandals and especially the fight over ot21 nct (wayv stan or not, who is the next problematic member, those kinda of arguments). i laughed and felt more stronger emotions with haikyuu writers to be honest and even though i haven’t had full blown conversations with them, they are so incredibly sweet and friendly which led me to making several reblog accounts to support their work.

it’s all up to preference really, but in the anime itself, haikyuu is a phenomenal show that focuses on teamwork and character development through a more uncommonly touched upon sport. however, the fandom is the reason why i made the leap into anime and left kpop because there’s such a drastic difference imo from the “stress” you feel. even bnha has a bit more problems within the fandom especially with shipping and since it’s so huge, but the haikyuu fandom has managed to remain wholesome and welcoming through these years.

tldr; i definitely suggest you watch it! there’s many comedic moments and you get so attached to the characters!

also for taemin, he is a visionary. his dancing is so sensual and it flows beautifully. i LOVE watching him dance because he looks like the wind or a river, so graceful and elegant. i don’t know too much about dancing though, so i’m not sure if my analogy makes any sense 🤧 day and night used to be one of my favorite songs from him; he’s such a gorgeous man with a golden heart

with very very very much love,

celeste 💓💓💓

[fortheloveofbmo]

Ooooh, this is for the Valentine Ask - I am curious about numbers 2, 10, 14, 19 and 27! Eh... that´s too much I guess? :D I have no idea how this works, so if it is too much, choose the one/ones you gravitate most to :D thank yooou

Omg, you are the sweetest, Insomnia!!! (What should we call each other? I feel like I need something more than your screen-name to call you by, at this point! Lol) I answered all of them! Here ya go, and thank you so much for sending these in!!! You’re the best!

2. Is there a ship you didn’t like at first but ultimately started shipping?Ummm, I honestly can’t think of any off the top of my head! I’m a pretty open shipper, and I’ll even read pairings I don’t like if the plot sounds interesting enough lmao that doesn’t mean I’ll be shipping them regularly though!

10. Is there a ship that makes your skin crawl?I mean, there are a few crack pairs that give me the heebie jeebies (Dumbledore/Molly Weasley comes to mind), but as far as canon, or even serious non-canon ships? None that I have personally seen. I’m pretty open with ships! Give me an appropriate scenario where a ship connects? I’m down, even if I know it would never happen/they would never interact in canon. I read this one crack ship treated seriously, and it was beautifully written. It was Hidan/Temari from Naruto, but yeah, I went off on a tangent lmao No, no serious ships that I’ve seen have made my skin crawl! (Though there are a few I just don’t like)AHHH, WAIT, canon Voldemort/Bellatrix is weird, and I don’t like it lmao in canon I see Voldemort as aroace, I really don’t think he would do anything with Bellatrix, and doing so, even for an heir, is at odds with his canon characteristics.

14. Is there a ship you feel gets undeserved hate in fandom?Uuf, obviously! BakuDeku gets a ton of undeserved hate! Yes, we know that Katsuki bullied Izuku, and that is unacceptable, but he is learning and growing. Honestly, I’ve always been intrigued by the rivals-turned-lovers trope. And the best thing about that trope is exploring their relationships with each other throughout a series. BakuDeku doesn’t happen overnight in a fic, it’s usually either set in the future where previous relationship growth is mentioned, or exploring what if scenarios that could change their views of each other from the start, or basically building their relationship from the ground up. There’s a ton of canon material to work with. And while Katsuki is definitely at fault for his actions, he was also raised in such a way that his bullying was either praised or ignored. Why did no teachers step in? His parents? Katsuki has a lot of problems, and a lot of those problems could have at the least been curbed if he got help at an earlier age. ANYWAY, not going any farther into that (I’m shit at meta, Id much rather read them—I can send people Baku or BakuDeku meta if anyone wants it though!), I’m just saying that BakuDeku is a valid ship. Shipping rivals is par for the course. Even if people ship them ‘problematically’, that’s totally okay, because they’re fictional characters and we’re playing in a sandbox. It can be fun, and sometimes eye opening, to read fics where they’re, for instance, in a super unhealthy codependent relationship. So yeah, BakuDeku gets much undeserved hate. (Additionally, I have seen some Kacchako and Bakushima hate, but I think those antis just hate Bakugou with anyone, in general lol)Also, Dramione is in a similar vein (even more so than Drarry). “But Draco would never be with Hermione!!! He hates mudbloods!!!” Yeah, but the whole point is for Draco to realize that ‘mudbloods’ aren’t lesser for being born from two muggles?? That muggles in general aren’t animals and are, in fact, just as intelligent, emotional, and complex as wizards? -eye roll-

19. Is there a ship the fandom has ruined for you?Haha not really! I just joined tumblr in October, so I had no idea that fandoms could be so toxic??? But since I’ve been reading fan fiction for so many years, and I’m just now being thrust into actual fandoms, I developed my own opinions without ship-hate around to effect my views. Honestly, I don’t know if it could have either way. If I enjoy the content, I enjoy the content!

27. Name a ship that deserved better in the end.Ahhh, a lot of fandoms that Im a part of are ongoing series! So, I don’t have a bunch of pairings to pick from xD Most series, I respect who the author chooses as the canon pairing, because they’re the author, ya know? I definitely think that Sakura and Sasuke (from Naruto) deserved a different ending… I won’t get super into it (because people will crawl from the depths to kill me), but I don’t think they’re a good pairing. I honestly get the vibe that Sasuke is aroace. I think the main reasons he got with her are guilt, her loyalty, convenience, and the fact that he wanted an heir. I wish Sakura would have come to the hard realization that you can’t force someone to love you. I wish she had a chance to learn and grow from a realization like that. She deserves more than being a stay at home mom with a disinterested husband.I can’t think of any others right now!

[todokori-kun]

OMG I’m so sorry for this late reply, now you probably won’t see this until you get back ;-; I hope you have a great time, though! :D

(I’m also away from home right now- at Jeju island! The view is so beautiful <3)

And ok, ok: Remember our Saiko/Urie ship that NEEDS to somehow overpower Mutsuki/Urie? I just remembered one of the reasons I started shipping it in the first place…there was an omake where Saiko’s jokingly asking the Qs to state her ‘good points’ (this is after Shirazu’s death and I think Mutsuki was either with Torso or on their own during this period so it’s basically Saiko, Urie, and the new Qs (Hsiao, Higemaru, Aura)). Hsiao surprises everyone by commenting that Saiko is unexpectedly sexy and cute. Higemaru tells her that’s gross, which makes Saiko pouty…she then sees Urie passing by and asks him “What about you, squad leader?”

Urie just smiles this really gentle, warm smile and

“Yonebayashi’s good point…on days like today, when my work has left me exhausted, whenever I look at you I feel relieved.”

(And Saiko smiles back and she’s blushing omg)

And new chapter of TG Re and Touken just keeps getting more and more ‘WTH’. Touka just told Ken she’s pregnant? And Ken’s freaking out a bit, but guess why? Because to him, Touka’s casual attitude means that she’s given up on trying to rescue Yoriko despite the fact that she’s found out what’s happened to her (Touka’s choosing her child over her friend). I think he's hurt that Touka has been forced to make that choice.

But why is he not thinking about his mom. Or Akira. Or Arima. Or the Qs. Why is he not having traumatic flashbacks. I mean, not only has Kaneki never had a 100% healthy relationship with a parental figure, he’s never been a good parent figure himself either (admittedly he’s only ever been one to the Qs but look what he did to them). Why is the Yoriko situation the only thing he’s worried about? Why is he so cool about the kid? I feel like he should be super insecure and terrified and maybe not even want a child…is that just me?

(Also wow, Ken truly is the next Arima. Re is going to be a tragedy after all, isn’t it)

I lowkey shipped Tatara/Eto…then of course Tatara just had to go and die and Eto disappeared. Typical TG ship. As for Eto/Noro, the fandom would bash that kid so hard for being op XD (but wouldn’t it also be a bit creepy? Noro seems to have been the one who raised Eto and he must have been around Yoshimura’s age…though admittedly I’d ship that too if the whole backstory about Yoshimura giving baby Eto to Noro suddenly disappeared. The height difference is cute ok)

Running Titans are like me running from my problems. For another hilarious manga thing, have you ever read that one omake Ishida drew about the time he went to Tokyo for a party and ended up at the hospital? It just proves that Ishida is the King.

Omg? That’s actually pretty cool XD

And tysm. Seriously, it’s not just the OCs, I talk too much about everything and you always listen and answer so really, thank you.

Looking forward to our next convo :D <3

P.S:

Idk how this happened but I’ve started shipping both Tatsuo and Naomi with Shuu. Like, either Tatso and Shuu are a thing, or Tatsuo is totally not in love (MAGNIFICENT BASTARDS DO NOT HAVE HEARTS OK) so he matchmakes Shuu and Naomi to make his baby sister happy (and he is so not dying on the inside everytime he sees them together. He finally did something right for his sister but  w o w does it hurt seeing Shuu look at her like that). Or they’re an OT3.

I’m sorry this is so weird. I even have headcanons for all the ships OTL what is happening XD 

Think I forgot to add this but ALSO:

I’ve started Fullmetal Alchemist! :D I was planning to never actually watch or read it because I hate the process of getting into new fandoms (like, I have so much to read and watch already, do I really need another one??? That was what I told myself with YoI but then everyone was talking about it and I just couldn’t resist) but then. One of my favorite reaction channels reacts to FMAB…and after they stopped reacting to animes I know for a while, I got bored and decided to try the FMA reactions. Why not?

“I mean, it’s not really my thing and the characters don’t seem like the type I’d enjoy (Ed seems like a typical shounen protagonist and I’m probably going to dislike him), but hey, it should be good enough, right?”

12 Episode Reactions Later:

Edward Elric you are my new favorite person

Alphonse you adorable bby you remind me of my own little sister and that makes me cry

Didn’t expect to like Winry but she’s actually pretty cool

Everytime Lust appears ‘I’m too hot- HOT DAMN’ from Uptown Funk keeps playing on repeat in my head, she makes me helpless

Lowkey ‘crushing’(not quite the right word but hey) on Scar. You ship with sweethearts like Shuu then I go and swoon over wanted criminals

And finally, Hughes…I knew you were going to die because I heard a lot about FMA on tumblr and your death scene is legendary in the anime/manga world. But can I just say.

WhY diD YoU haVe tO SaY gOoDbyE

(And as for Nina, I also knew what was going to happen to her but just…let’s ignore that. Yeah.)

The channel didn’t have reactions for all the episodes though, and besides, it’s hard to hear the actual lines over the reactions sometimes, so I’m currently reading the manga from where I left off with the anime :) I’m only in the middle of volume 5 so far but it’s great!

Congratulations! After suffering from Hamilton, TG Re and the MCU, you have finally managed to drag me into a fandom!

(It’s just one success though >:^) and I’m busy thinking of a new fandom for my revenge…fear me)

FMA UPDATE: Scar is no longer my only problematic crush/fav. There’s also Greed. Not Greedling (I only just read through the real Ling’s first appearances, I’ve never seen Greedling in action before and I only know a few minor things about him), the original Greed, the guy with the cool sunglasses.

I’m sorry Queen Luna, you shipped me with a perfect pure cinnamon roll and this happens OTL

I’m really, REALLY sorry for spamming you now but hey, actually starting looking up FMA on tumblr and OOPS I’m stupid as heck OTL Why did I think Daddy Elric and Father were the same person omg (probably a mixture of similar character designs and fake spoilers I read long before I read the manga lololol)

*Waltzes into the room*

sO WHaT’d i mIsS??

Not much, apparently hahah Just Evans getting into a new fandom and coming to hunt me down. The usual, basically. 

OK BUT BEFORE I PROPERLY REPLy, I JUST HAVE TO TELL YOU ABOUT MY LAST TWO WEEKs, BECAUSE THEY WERE A MIX OF HELL ON EARTH AND HEAVEN ON EARTh, LIKE DAMN

Kkkkk, so firstly a bit about the systematics of the camp (I can already tell you I’ll start ranting, sorry ^^;;;). There are 3 separate programs, Resident Cam, Teen Adventure and Teen Sailing. Resident is when you stay in the camp the whole 2 weeks and have 5 activities per day that you choose yourself. You also do other amusing stuff, mostly in the evenings.  Adventure is when you go around Croatia and experience random adventures, like paintball, rock climbing, bridge jumping and so on. Sailing is when you spend 1 week in the resident camp, and you spend the whole week learning how to sail smaller boats and when that weeks is over, you board sailboats and sail around costal Croatia for a week.

I did Resident 3 times, Adventure 2 times and Sailing Once (this year). It was also my last year in the camp, since you can go there as long as you’re younger than 18. Next year, I’ll be 18.

Aaaanywho, the reason why I consider it hell on earth is because it was FULL of rich snobs and I was dying. There was this one girl in particular who seemed to hate me for absolute no reason and she was such a huge bitch. She also reeeeaally liked having the undivided attention of boys on her and would do some quite drastic things to achieve that. For example, sitting so that her elbows were pushing her bewbs up, or randomly yelling, in english ‘Oh no, my bra unclipped!!’ even tho she had friends from her country who would’ve understood her had she said it in her language. 

OTHER THAN THAT, I saw dolphins and sea horses!! IT was so cute *^*

OHOHO and at one point, we went bridge jumping. And there were some guys hanging from hammocks from the bridge. I saw them, but didn’t think much of it. And then one of them got up to actually jump. My brain ‘AND I WAS LIKE DAMN BITCH YOU FINE’.

One of the most attractive guys I have seen in my entire life. Pretty much everything I (physically like). Slightly longish hair kept in a bun. Blonde. Blue eyes. Tall, but not a giant. Muscular. And as if that didn’t have me drooling, once they were done, he. Put. On. Glasses.  CALL THE POLICE AND THE FIREMAN.

Seriously, literally helpless.  ‘Then you walked in and my heart went boom’.

Now onto the actual reply ^^;;;;

WHAT WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN I DEMAND LINKS I NEED IT HNNNNNNNGH Ishida is pure evil. Like, he gives us that, but doesn’t make it canon??? TOUKEN IS CANON AND IT HAD AS MUCH INTERACTION AS A SEA URCHIN HAS WITH AN EAGLE OR SOMETHING. 

The internet here is sucky so I haven’t caught up with everything yet =3= Soon, hopefully.

But that does seem very OOC for Kaneki :/ Is it just me, or did everything start going downhill when Touken appeared? If someone told me ‘kaneki finds out Touka is pregnant, guess his reaction’, my answer would be ‘hysterics, screaming, old traumas surfacing, potential thought of the Qs, deFINITELY NOT CALM’.

If we ever doubted Re wouldn’t be a tragedy, we were truly naive. 

Tatsuo, Shuu and Naomi are the definition of Satisfied if that happens. I know my sister like I know my own mind You will never find anyone as trusting or as kind If I tell her that I love him she’d be silently resigned He’d be mine She would say, “I’m fine” She’d be lying. 

Dude, if you thought FMA would be ‘just another anime’, you were NAIVE!!  It’s actually the first anime I’ve ever watched (or second, depending on whether you count ATLA as anime) and it’ll always be on my top ‘to recommend’ list, because it’s an actual masterpiece. Edward is just so cute, I want to hug him, especially before his growth spurt.  Al is the purest cinnamon roll, he deserves protection.  Shoulda known you’d go with Scar... I must say, though, Greedling and Mustang are the top for me.  Well, for FMA it really doesn’t matter a single bit if you read the manga or watch the anime. I mean, the manga is a tad bit better, because you understand some references, like Yoki’s backstory, but you can also know it from watching the older, original FMA anime. 

Idk, I don’t like Greed all that much. Didn't have enough time to develop, and Greedling is a tad better imo ^^;;

Naaah, don’t worry about spamming me! I was really happy to come back to so many messages from you ^^

Books

Almost done listening to: Dawn of Wonder by Johnathan Renshaw

A coming of age story about a very intelligent boy, Aedan, becoming a military officer, and all of the hilarious and exciting tales throughout his journey! Lol I explained this like shit, but it’s a great listen!! The voice actor from Audible does an amazing job and the differences in European accents is entertaining in itself. Check this out if you like: Maze Runner, Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, etc? I’ve laughed so much whilst listening to this book :3

TV

THE OFFICE - OMG I LOVEEE I’ve grown so attached to all of the characters alskdjflsdkf :’) At first I hated Michael because he was so problematic, but he was just a smol bb that needed a healthy love :)) My fave characters are: Jim (obvs), Dwight, Pam, and Kevin lol I finished this series in like a week in a half. I really really recommended it, even though everyone’s seen it except for me lol

ONE PIECE - I recently got a Hulu account, because Hulu is so much better than Netflix let me tell you. Their anime selection is out of this world they’ve got everything!! Even Steven Universe and Adventure Time!!! I had gotten a Monkey D. Luffy figure from a Loot Crate box!! And the character design was so unique, I checked out One Piece…. and I have been laughing so much. It’s one of those fun light hearted shows that you can just enjoy! Zorro and the chef guy are my faves so far hehe :3 Luffy is honestly so straight forward and a bit air headed that everything he says and does makes me LMAO You really need to check this anime out!! Such a classic!! Just going to warn you that there are like 11 seasons lol, I’m almost done with the first one, but!! The episodes are like 15 minutes? Not counting the intro and the outro lol

THE SOUND OF YOUR HEART- THIS IS A MUCH WATCH FOR ALL RUNNING MAN FANS OR PEOPLE WHO LOVE CRUDE HUMOR!! This show is from Korea, but is on Netflix! It’s an adaptation of a very popular webtoon called “The Sound of Your Heart” lol. The infamous Lee Kwang Soo plays the lead, and honestly this webdrama will have you clutching your bellies and wiping your tears from laughter. I finished this show within a couple hours. There are about 10 episodes all 20 minutes a piece. Please just check it out. I have no words to describe how glorious this show is.

Fashion

This super cute Soldier 76 t-shirt- I legit where this all the time I got mine from jinx.com! They’re legit from Blizzard, and are made from amazing quality! My only gripe is that there’s not free shipping :( Mine is in a Men’s M

(Yes I do play overwatch)

Beauty Faves

Aritaum Mirror Gloss Tint in Cinnamon Beige- Best mlbb tint, very moisturizing, and leaves a very pretty tint after it dries! I wear this lip every day

Etude House Dear My Lips in PK004- A super cute coral color that’s perfect for spring! I like to dab this onto my lips and leaves a soft finish! Make sure to apply some chapstick before, because it is a lipstick and can be a bit drying. (But I also live in a very dry climate so…) Also I think this is Red Velvet’s Joy’s pick from the line :3 

Heimish Glow Base - GURRLLL If you wanna have that I woke up like this type of glow. GET THIS it’s like that super popular Etude House primer everyone loves, but BETTER. I personally get more a glow with this Hemish one and it looks natural!! The Etude House looks natural as well, but less GLOW. Plus!! The Hemish Glow Base has SPF!!! On good skin days, I usually just do my brows, slap this on, and the Etude House Dear My Lips lipstick. I highly recommend this primer!

Apps

Baloons TD5- this used to be huge back in 2013ish lol, but I’ve been obsessed with this game

Grid Diary- a cute way to keep track of your day! I bought the full ver for like $5 but honestly, it’s worth it. I use it every day, and I can customize a number of grids I want to write in and customize the questions I want to answer about my day! I honestly can’t keep a journal, so this was a great alternative! I like to record my dreams, what I spent money on that day, how I’m feeling, the weather, what I did with my family, etc! It’s an app from Korea, so the interface is nice, clean, and minimalistic. 

Food

Nature’s Path- Love Crunch Granola - Dark Chocolate and Red Berries

THIS WITH SOME ALMOND MILK IS MY NEW HOLY GRAIL BFAST/SNACK FOOD. It’s not too sweet bc it’s dark chocolate, but you get little sweet bits of freeze dried strawberries and raspberries!! I’m in love with this granola. the only thing is I can’t eat this dry, it has to be with almond milk. please check this out, you can get it at walmart

ETC.

3DS- I finallyyyy purchased the galaxy 3ds! I’ve been playing animal crossing alot! It’s so cute and so much fun!! The only struggle is that I’m broke lol… Send me your friend code so we can hang out!!! (mutuals only)

Nail Care- After 18 ½ years of not caring about my nails, your girl has finally jumped onto that cuticle oil and nail file life lol. I’m having so much fun, please message me your favorite nail poilshes!! I have like 0 colors TT_TT

Loot Crate- I finally caved and bought last month’s Loot Crate and the theme was together? It featured: Haikyuu, Boy and his Beast, One Piece, and Ostumatsu- San!! I got a Haikyuu (full karasuno team) t-shirt, a Boy and the Beast book, a Luffy Figurine, and a Ichimatsu (my fave character) phone strap!! I’m in love with all of these products and it got me into One Piece!! The t-shirt is sosososo soft and comfy I love

Thank You So Much For Taking The Time To Read My Favorites!!

[severalbakuras]

s6 liveblog episodes 1-4 (late edit: skipped 3) here we fucking gooooooo

if this seems super lotor/keith/generals focused it’s bc it is, i literally don’t care about anyone besides lotor and keith and the generals and have multiple aus to vanish off into if any of them die this season lel. (late edit: looks like a good choice me!!)

(even LATER edit: HAAHHAAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHHA)

episode one: CHANGE. THE FUCKING. INTRO.

oh hey it’s diyak (idk if that’s how it’s spelt)

lotor are you setting hunk up for pain (late edit: HE WAS) so diyak totally did this to lotor too huh.

that’s what vrepit sah means? kinda lame.

IS THAT BOXY IN PROGRESS IT ISSSSS

sendak’s fop organization is going well i see

and shireplica has no reaction to sendak at all again

tf was that face lotor

ooooooo haggar what you doing

IS THIS IT IS HAGGAR GONNA FIGHT THE WHITE LION (late edit: doesn’t look like it :////////////)

netflix please include a ‘skip transformation’ button the same as you do for the intro if they don’t have the decency to change it.

mmkay skipping ahead i’m bored ooh allura can bring back the dead, dark vld give me necromancer princess allura.

oh shit it’s honerva. please still be just as evil please PLEASE

episode two:

KEITH MY BOY I’VE MISSED YOU

;A; HIS VOICE

‘you drop a bomb like this and tell me you’ll explain later?’ - vld fandom.txt

space babble space babble time travel??

random note but has allura always had those purple earrings?

uh allura were you expecting a kiss there lelelel (and she does the same leap she did with the keith catch back in s2)

‘you sure you don’t need a third wheel for help’ ugghgghgghghgh is this what lance gets to do this season beyond fighting? pine after allura who’s gaga for lotor? i don’t ship it but if allurance is getting content this season deserves better then what i think is gonna happen (bc lbr even if lotor doesn’t have the creepy shit from the original there’s way too much bad blood from the original 80s voltron for them to think making lotura canon at ALL is a good idea).

(also related i am v concerned for lotor if this is the plot line allura and lance are getting)

didn’t mention it before but once again the background artists knock it out of the fucking park. massive kudos.

AAAA

BABY

BABY KEITH

YORAK??? WAS THAT HIS GALRA NAME HDSFKSDF

EVIL SHIRO

guys they only started getting along like... five days ago like holy shit. why is this show so bad at pacing.

lmao his first thought was that krolia was after glory

aww keithdad ;A;

SPACE WHALES YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

OH MY GOD BABY KEITH I’M NOT OVER HOW CUTE YOU ARE YET

omg so keith’s hoverbike is made from parts from krolia’s ship i think!!

oh

;A;

;A;

;AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA;

who is this adorable comet wolf?

ok this doesn’t answer how keithdad died though.

WOLF WARPS???

they’ve been timey-wiming for TWO YEARS????????????????????????????????????????? i...

nah that’s pretty fucking dumb lol like it’s great that keith and krolia got to hang out for two years but like that’s a long fucking time to be stuck with one person on a space whale. and it totally feels like they wanted to deal with all keith and krolia’s emotional reconnecting and healing and stuff offscreen too.

uggghghg this is seriously how the allurance arc is gonna go.

first we don’t know keithdad’s name and i bet they won’t tell us the warp wolf’s name either.

is THAT romelle??

episode three:

mmmmmmmmmyeah skip. if i were to rewatch the series from start to finish i’d be more open to watching this much like the coran show but it’s like when a stevenbomb is 80% townie, sure it’s important but i don’t care i’m bored where is the plot. 

episode four:

BOXY IS LIVE I REPEAT, BOXY IS LIVE

so this is technically the second visit of lotor’s to this place (given it’s confirmed honerva was pregnant af when she entered it) wonder if it feels familiar?

uggggh i have Foreboding Feelings about this.

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yeppp. time to swing lotor back around to holding the villain ball i guess.

fjsdkgjdksagjadlfhgjfd i’m sure something tragic is going to happen to romelle’s little brother but his fucking voice i literally just choked on my drink when i heard it. it’s fucking newt pippington british hooves from friendship is witchcraft oh my gOD.

YEPPP HERE IT GOESSS.

(like this is shitty. i won’t argue against that, at all. but i’ve also stanned characters who’ve objectively done even worse. so i’m not unstanning lel. canon lotor moves from the slightly problematic box with wrathion/my skyrim main/zodd to the pretty problematic box with jasper/garrosh/yami bakura/sylvanas. not quite in the what-the-fuck-problematic box with the monster deer from ‘the ritual’/my ‘hello naughty everyone it’s murder time’ skyrim alt/slan but he’s definitely changed stan tiers)

(plus like it’s functionally identical to my warcraft main’s arcane torrent racial ability so like i can’t be too mad at lotor for doing something i do against almost all spellcasting enemy mobs and players)

(like also i’ve had my own mental lotor running around in a dozen aus for months now who’s been ignoring canon for the most part since almost... yeah since like s4. and i also have shipped (and continue to ship) keitor since s301 despite us having literally no content at all. canon has never mattered to me with this ship and it never will.)

hey @scrawlers isn’t this eerily like that horror thing lmao (only it’s not shiros and they’re not dead)

like if this is meant to be part of lotor’s ~grey morality~ did someone take lessons from the warcraft writers lol this is exactly the same shit they’re pulling with sylvanas right now.

DON’T DO THIS TO HER YOU BASTARDS. (late edit: they did.)

i’d like to quote myself from a few episodes ago: “guys they only started getting along like... five days ago like holy shit. why is this show so bad at pacing.”

allura’s super strength makes a long awaited return, lotor you deserved that lol.

OH FUCK THERE SHIREPLICA GOES

BLACK PALADIN KEITH IS BACK BABY (god i wish it were under better circumstances though.

ugh even with black paladin keith back, do i want to keep watching? not right now and definitely not for the reasons the writers probably would want me to. i mean i probably will finish it tomorrow for completionism’s sake but like. i won’t be watching for the story i’ll be watching for aj locascio’s and steve yeun’s vocal performances and the background art and the animation.

which is a damn shame but it is what it is.

just fyi if you (this is a general you) read this and think i shouldn’t think this writing is bad, regardless of your stance on lotor (anti/stan/neutral etc)? i don’t give a shit, keep it to yourself because i’m not interested and you won’t be getting a response lel.

you’re allowed to think it’s good, i’m allowed to think it’s bad.

(also if you’re thinking ‘if you think the writing is bad why do you still stan canon lotor and why are you going to keep watching the series?’ my answer is i do what i want.)

hhhhhh.

i’m dumping my self-imposed spoiler embargo, i’ve ceased all the fucks i have to give about what potential this show had and have fully shifted into ‘i’m gonna watch this trainwreck pull into the station’ mode.
