#literally so happy to see mp100 metas again especially teru ones #also sorry to add on it jisy comes to mind #teru is the least manipulative character out of the cast to me besides like mob obviously #most of his approaches to situations even those when he’s antagonistic he is very up front he has rarely not said what’s on his mind

#like he’s a brute and like you said a bullu #bully* #during the mob fight sure he’s verbally degrading mob n others to try and get mob to use his powers but he doesn’t hide that that’s his #intention. he like never hides his intentions lol #he’s straight up like i want you to fight me and show me your powers so i can scale u according to myself #and like that continues as time goes on and he’s like brutally honest tbh #or like brutally honest based on how he sees situations or relationships of his

#like in world dom when he’s like well me and mob ARE the strongest ones here (because that is how he genuinely sees it) #and the biggest thing i see brought up is him choosing the monkey shirt to embarrass mob #not even looking at his personal style and taste it’s weird to assume teru would do that to someone he looks up to at an obsessive degree #at this point why would he sabotage mob there’s like nothing for him to gain from #and it wouldn’t even make sense for him to be a manipulative force at all bc again he quite regularly just says what he’s thinking #due to him believing that his opinion is obsolete truth from pre mob mindset i think that carrie’s over as he tries to get better

#like mob he cannot read the room but in an entirely different way bc he’s lived his life at a higher social status in school so he gets away #with it if that makes sense #also yes so much on like him struggling but being a happy guy. idk. there’s so much nuance to him that it’s hard to unpack #bc the way i always read his character is that he genuinely doesn’t understand he’s still carrying over bad traits/habits #that he’s not aware of bc it’s like the norm to him but he believes that now that his view on himself in relation to the world has changed #that his habits and traits are recontextualised by his good attitude #but that’s not how it works but how is he to know that hes 14 lol

#sorry to the goddamn essay i’m jisy like yes i r so right n it bugs me#when ppl still think he has evil underlying motives when he’s just a weird kid not properly socialized trying to unlearn stuff

End ID]

@mundanememoriez sorry for reposting your tags but I agree so much. you literally get it. just like everyone else in this series, teru comes with an extreme amount of nuance. teru doesn’t have a frame of reference other than himself. he has so much to unpack. He doesn’t understand that some of the negative traits still linger because he has reframe his actions in a different way. he’s just unaware that he has unpacking to do. teru rarely lies purposefully and even then it’s not for personal gain.

teru is honestly not that good at being humble and he also struggles to interact with others, but he’s trying so hard!! I mean he’s a huge foil to mob and yet people have a horrible time recognizing his own growth with his own feelings. the fact that he tries and WANTS to be better means so much and people just take that away from him. he’s an honest, kind, and supportive friend that wants to help others. he just has so much trauma that doesn’t get unpacked within canon that’s it’s like. buddy? are you okay? I know you act like it’s fine but it’s not.

people who characterize teru as manipulative literally drive me insane especially with the information we know now involving his parents.

it’s heavily implied that premob teru is a result of parental neglect and being targeted by a literal terrorist group. that doesnt excuse his behavior, but the way he acts as a shadow leader is very aloof and like he’s too cool to be there. does beating people up give him an ego boost? sure. but even he mentions that people always under estimate him when it comes to fighting back. he’s had to fight actual adult espers who are trying to kidnap him, cut him a little slack. hes literally just a middle school bully with psychic powers. the only time we see him manipulate anyone is when members of that actual terrorist organization are attacking him or people he knows.

the thing is, people dismiss terus whole character arc of wanting to become a better person because he lacks self awareness and has difficulty growing out of a harmful mindset. he wants to believe he’s done a 180 but it’s clear he still struggles and he admits he has struggled during the confession arc. is it because teru isn’t open about how he feels and throughout the majority of the series is a pretty happy kid? like, most people as readers know he has internal issues, but just because he acts happy and struggles to do better doesn’t mean he’s manipulative. that’s just a real human experience. just because we aren’t open with our feelings or even understand why we feel them doesn’t mean we are lying to other people or two-faced. we all struggle to do better, what ulterior motive would teru even have? he has actual friends now and people who genuinely care about him why would he pretend to be a nicer person for personal gain what does he have to even gain from this? his whole worldview was torn apart when it was pointed out he was alone without connections to others, why would he actively try and ruin that? you can’t accidentally manipulate someone, hurt them, yes, but it’s within your power to change your behavior. which teru is doing. that’s the whole point of his character development.

we know he puts up a facade but like, y’all see an insecure gay-coded character and write him off as some mean stereotype that manipulates others for personal gain just because he doesn’t wear his heart on his sleeve. perhaps there are reasons he isn’t fully open? maybe those things have to do with his implied backstory? like damn, he is literally 14 and navigating life pretty much on his own when we first see him. be nice to him. he’s doing his best and hasn’t realized he’s traumatized yet.

Happy Loveless opening day!!

This is pertaining to the next little write up I’m working on, coming… Eventually. In reactor 5 when Sephiroth and Genesis talk, Sephiroth refers to Genesis as “petty”. This exchange is relatively accurate to the initial Japanese as well.

Just like last time here is the Reunion version and here is the original English release. [Sorry for the time stamp link, I couldn't find a stand alone video.]

Like previously, this poll isn’t going to influence my analysis- I’ve already outlined my thoughts on the matter. I am simply curious what the general community perception is.

Please tell me your thoughts in tags, replies, or reblogs if you are so inclined! This goes even if you didn’t press the nuance button! I live off discussion, it fuels my being There are no dumb replies 💜

Also sorry this is nowhere as polished as the last poll I had- I’m not doing that hot still but the timing of Loveless opening night was just too perfect.

Protest The New Tumblr Changes

ok so since everyone and their dog absolutely hate the new changes outlined in this new post from staff, I've been thinking about what we can do about it. HERE is the contact page on Tumblr's parent company, Automattic's, website. Please write FEEDBACK/WEBSITE FEEDBACK/TUMBLR FEEDBACK in the "What's This About?" section HERE is the Tumblr help centre link, please select the category FEEDBACK when messaging them. My recommendation would be to write something like this, but in your own words to mitigate any spam filters: "Hello, I'm contacting you today because of the proposed changes to Tumblr's UI. This is not what the community wants, and will negatively impact all users of the site. Users enjoy the Tumblr experience because it is unique, and a throwback to the days before all websites were algorithm focused. Employing this sort of algorithm will kill your websites usability, and along with it, drive away your current userbase. People will simply remain using their other social medias, as New Shiny Algorithm is not the reasons why people would flock to your site. Please reconsider these changes, and instead reach out to the wider community about changes that we need to use Tumblr more easily, such as: - A reworked search function on blogs and tags as the current one does not work/is not stable. We also cannot search for untagged posts. - Better toggle options for people with photo sensitivity, your advertisements often strobe and it makes the website unusable. Ads should be tagged as flashing, or with content warnings for users (i.e diet ads, ads for horror movies with gore in them) that actually work (advertisements are filtered out of the tag system).

- Options for 18+ and NSFW creators on your site; Your userbase would quintuple overnight if you were to look into options for NSFW hosting and safe toggle options for adult users. The community labels were a step in the right direction, please pursue this further. This is by no means an exhaustive list of things, but changing the very fabric of what makes Tumblr work is NOT the move that any of us want. Please, again, reconsider these changes and listen to the community. Thank you" AGAIN please add your own points to this to help prevent spamfiltering of your messages, and please spread this to everyone you know. If anyone wants to add more ideas of what to add to this list, please do so in the replies, tags or add a comment to this post!

Hello smiling critters fandom, i will be taking no criticism <3

[transcript: 1. “I am not afraid to keep on living, I am not afraid to walk this world alone. Honey, if you stay, you'll be forgiven; nothing you can say can stop me going home."

2. "Prior: Dreaming used to be so… safe.

Harper: It isn't, thought, it's dangerous, imagining to excess. It can blow up in your face. Threshold of revelation."

3. "He thought about wanting to feel like he had been made for something more than dying."

4. "You must fix you heart, and you must build an altar where it swells."

5. "Here is the game: today you are not going to die."

6. "Yes, it comforts me much more, yes it comforts me much more to lay in the foundations of decay. Get up, coward!"

7. "You will save yourself. You cannot help it."

8. "I don’t want to die in here. I don’t want to die in here."

9. "O plunge your hands in water, plunge them in up to the wrist; stare, stare in the basin and wonder what you've missed."

10. "Say that it is the impulse of the soul to endure forever. Say it again." /End transcript]

Hey everyone!!! Not sure if anyone remembers, but sometime last year I wrote a cute mini story called Paranormal Geek and published it through Lulu Bookstore!

I have just recently update this listing and decreased the price on it - previously $20, now its $15 (and this is permanent! Not a sale or limited time thing)

Its $15 for a physical copy of the book - its 107 pages, a good chunk of which is full page art relating to the story!

You can buy Paranormal Geek HERE on Lulu Bookstore!

Please consider sharing this and/or puchasing a copy of my book to support me <3
