ok so you know how in china 'cut sleeve' was used as an euphemism for homosexuality. that but in lorasia they use 'lullaby singer'. or 'angel fighter'. lately 'knightly escort' is making the rounds. there's a lot of euphemisms for gay people actually.
#i talk a lot <3#tged#llojavi#this is so stupid but i think they deserve it (affectionate/derogatory)#eternally intrigued by how socially accepted queer people are in canon.#there's no outright evidence there's a ban on it or any prejudice#but there's also zero (0) gay people around so like. is that proof in and of itself??#wait no i forgot#berkis' mom was very accepting of the idea of rakiel and damian being a thing#she was just judging the timing of rakiel's request to help him touch damian#but again. canonically dragons are polyamorous so how much of it is dragons being like That and society being generally accepting.#do i actually want bk moon to address this topic. probably not but otherwise i will forever wonder.#that being said. if he writes a gay character and it's not his protagonist finally kissing with tongue the man he has a deeply homoerotic#relationship with and for who he has risked absolutely everything for.... i might commit murder. so. tread with caution my man.

everything Dan said about labels in BIG was so extremely real and personal to me and people really gloss over a lot of it sometimes I need to talk about it more about it when I'm not exhausted
#he spent years trying to fit into one box or another and then he finally said ah fuck this lmfao#ppl really ignore the “basically” part of basically im gay and it's like you'll get crucified if you point out the nuance#which he himself has talked about so many times#idk why celebrating someone's gayness for what it is in its own esoteric way in their own words is some kind of erasure#i guess because of the issue of ppl calling him bi because they're stupid and don't know how labels work lmao#but that aside i love that he rly is just dan and he's comfortable with that#because it's so hard not fitting into a certain ideal#the part where he said he recognises labels are really important for a lot of people and that's very valid#but he just doesn't give a fuck lmfao like....... i felt that#i felt like him saying ���being a man means nothing to me” and then talking about “you could call me she or put me in a dress i wouldn't gaf”#and then calling himself a formless blob or whatever#he literally is just dan whatever that means whatever labels most closely approximate that and there rly is something so powerful#in just not giving a fuck especially on the internet where everyone is so hyper obsessed with labeling everything#and like thinking it's weird for someone to just not really care that much about labels#i feel like so many people misunderstand what he was trying to say in that part idk#like based on the amount of dangender haters#he really just does not give a fuck i fear being a man means nothing to him even if he is one like he just doesn't care#and that's so powerful <3 to me#who up not fitting into a box and feeling lost and untethered because every label you could possibly use makes you feel uncomfortable#on some level#because even trying to be unlabeled is a label in and of itself#i need Dan's therapist's number i think they could fix me#he is just not a labels guy and i love him for that i think it's very powerful and valid when people find joy and solace in labels#but it's also powerful to me when people just don't care for labels at all hadfghgfjkllsfjl#and i think that gets overlooked a lot on the anti nuance website#i love seeing posts celebrating him for being gay gay homosexual gay but i also love seeing posts celebrating him for being a formless blob#he can contain multitudes#and we can celebrate all of that per his own words#without necessarily erasing part of him#i said i wasn't gonna talk about this and then reached the tag limit lmfao i have a PROBLEMMMMM

THANKS @kimdokjafan you are so kind and generous. ok im cashing in the first of three blank checks to talk about faith trust and pixie dust (most recent chatfic) because the last two directors commentaries were too serious so let's do a silly one.
some p5r spoilers, and this is mostly about sumire, and it's long again. do i need to keep disclaiming that these are long? you should know me by now.
i had this written for a while before i started formatting it because i wasn't really sure if i should post it? i feel like silly chatfic is something people go to for predominantly lighthearted nonsense so i was like, maybe there's too much plot and dramatic misunderstanding and i should just keep this one for myself. but then i was like well nothing matters and maybe someone will have fun with it. it's kind of terrible how much fully or mostly completed fic there is my docs that just doesn't see the light of day lol. write for yourself etc but i like sharing! too bad it comes with the mortifying ordeal etc. anyway that was a tangent
potato counter is a neopets game. there's no deep lore i just like neopets. i guess in this universe ryuji doesn't play neopets? or maybe he's just never played potato counter specifically. i also have a different fic where ryuji DOES play neopets. it's about neopets and ryuji and goro talking on neopets.
i think this might literally be the first time ive written sumi in a fic because i haven't actually written that much fic for royal, like, now that im looking, literally almost none? and none that had a group dynamic. so it was kind of fun to find her voice for the first time in a silly groupchat like this. i was worried people would find her exclamation marks annoying but i personally thought it was endearing so i added it in there.
every time i do a gag where a character corrects their own typo i have to code more stupid little bubbles to make it happen but i think it's worth it. all the effort that goes into making tgis look as much like a real chat as possible
this obviously doesnt take place in the canon p5/r universe, but im imagining sort of a postcanon sumi personality where she's more comfortable being herself and isn't borrowing kasumi's brand of confidence, but she's visibly a really anxious person without that kasumi veneer. i also think in this universe sumire is a fairly recent addition to the friend group, and while everyone likes her a lot and she really likes them, i kind of wanted to emphasise that feeling of being in a friend group where everyone's established and you're sort of a plus-one? you don't really fit yet. part of that is her being new, part of it is her anxiety, part of it is just the kind of person sumi is where she's so polite and self-conscious she ends up taking herself out of things with her own good intentions. stuff like her interrupting the flow of an existing conversation by greeting everyone instead of jumping straight in because she doesn't feel comfortable inserting herself, which means everyone else stops to greet her even though that doesn't normally happen in a friend group, or making a point of thanking everyone for being invited to events while the others take it as a given.
idk i love that she feels a bit out of place with the phantom thieves in p5r. and part of that is a natural consequence of being a new addition in royal who can't be naturally integrated with an existing dynamic but i honestly feel like the writing team realised that and acknowledged it, and really leaned into it, and that made it work incredibly well for me. like, it's part of her character that she's sort of an outsider. it's not like p4g's incredibly clumsy integration of marie and subsequent attempt to shove her down everyone's throat as the canon love interest in p4ga (knife). sumi has that outsider vibe on purpose and it makes me really like her dynamic with the thieves as an individual
goro also feels slightly out of place in these chats, but his conversational style blends more naturally with the other thieves at this point and he even uses their codenames sometimes. i keep saying my chatfic series isn't a real Series because the lore keeps changing, but if we accept that they're all kind of following a General Continuity, assume this takes place some time after the last fic in which ren added goro to the groupchat and they made an effort to integrate him into their friend group. he's kind of there now and has settled into being the weird boyfriend. that's his role.
every time goro says something like "ren and i" assume it's the text equivalent of him talking to the group with his arm around ren's waist.
ok i got really fond of this silly running joke where sumi brings up the weather when she's feeling uncomfortable. she's so polite. i like this thread because setting it up meant i got to tie it off like this:
this just made me happy lol i liked writing this. i tried to use it to demonstrate that despite goro's abrasiveness he obviously knows sumire pretty well, he's attuned to her quirks and knows how to tell when she's having a bad time with her anxiety, so he uses her little weather habit to ground her.
i honestly dont think goro and sumire could be considered close in p5r and as much as i like the "royal trio" in canon they're not really... like... friends? with each other? they're both attached to ren, so it' more a V shape than anything else. but that said, i really LIKE goro and sumi's canon dynamic. he takes a really grouchy but politely attentive supervisory role to her during their few forays into the palace as a trio where he doesn't really know her well but clearly identifies her as a harmless little tryhard who needs some guidance and steps into that role grudgingly, and she immediately looks up to him despite being very wrong footed by his ruthlessness, which i find incredibly charming. i think given time they could be good friends, they just didn't get much chance to know each other very well in canon. so i tried to kinda do that here.
once goro stops being evil and joins the group they all kind of tiredly accept that his role is to occasionally push a cup off a bench while smirking and refuse to clean it up. emotionally, i mean.
wait i need to backtrack chronologically to talk about akeshu.
in this scene they're in the same room lol talking and snickering while typing. im trying to get at that vibe of the annoying couple who is flirting with each other, via you. you know? like ostensibly they're talking to you (sumire) but everything they say to you is part of their stupid game. sumi is incidental to goro and ren teasing each other about flirting with someone else, goro is reporting everything ren says because his boyfriend is so eye-rollingly foolish in a cute way. they're very tickled by how amusing and charming they are. gross. disgusting. sumire im so sorry for putting you through this
anyway here are too many of my favourite jokes from the fic
#futaba gets a lot of my favourite punchlines because i love her. i think she's an incredible vessel for comedic timing#once again you can see how much i overthink everything#given the amount of thought that goes into character shit for what LOOKS like a stupid 3 second chatfic#but is really. a stupid 3 second chatfic with twenty years of overthinking behind it#it takes time and effort. to be this stupid#anyway i love sumi. i think she's so cute. i like her dynamic with the thieves so much#ive said it before but i think chatfic is one of those mediums that looks so deceptively simple because#you know it's just silly dialogue and memes. it's very accessible. anyone can write a funny chatfic#but i think it's such a character-forward 'genre' that it's really really difficult to do well in the sense that it feels like the characte#s you know and not just mouthpieces for memes with familiar names attached. so im kinda obsessed with the genre#it relies so heavily on every character having a distinctive voice without trying too hard to be unique#ideally you should be able to read one of these with no names attached ands till get a general sense of who's talking#without having to rely on liek (sorry) homestuck style quirks which make it visibly obvious#that' skinda hard because irl people's typing styles aren't THAT distinct you know. theres only so many variations#you can make to a person's use of grammar punctuation capitalisation etc before it becomes a gimmick instead of an idiosyncrasy#but hopefully if the character voice is strong enough their identtiy should come through more subtly anyway. idk .idk if im there but i lov#to work towards it#wow i wrote anothr essay in the tags about my love for Modern Epistolary Fiction (chatfic)#after already writing a whole essay in the post#i mgonna shut up guys thanks for having me#rookfic#asks#p5#rookthots

Hi, I'm sorry, I know it's been a long time but I found an old post of yours where you say that the mangaka of Gakuen Alice said that Natsume and Mikan relationship is not safe or comfortable, did they really say that? I had no idea. What else has the author said about their relationship? I'm curious (ㆁωㆁ)
hi <3
There's really no worries about ever sending me an ask, especially if it's GA related. I'll pretty much always answer <3
And that would be from the Memorial Book, where, according to some fan translations I've seen here and otherwise online (because there is no official English translation), Higuchi Tachibana said something along the lines of Natsume not getting too comfortable or sure of himself or thinking he "won." Essentially she's implying Ruka and Hotaru still have a shot with Mikan because she might change her mind about Natsume so he shouldn't get cocky or some other bullcrap like that.
I feel like it's understandable that I despise that line of thinking so I more or less ignore the Memorial Book and everything about the ending in general (excluding the Little Red Riding Hood comic and the HotaRuka crumbs). I've talked at length about why that type of commentary bothers me here. I just generally don't really care much about what the mangaka says anymore. I love her story and I love her art but her personal opinions, even about her own characters, do not matter to me at all.
I'm not sure what else she said in the Memorial Book or otherwise. She mentioned Natsume would have a slightly longer life because of Mikan's alice stone but that he'd still die young, and after that Mikan would probably be with Ruka (if the picture she drew of them together is supposed to be taken as canon). She mentioned somewhere (I don't recall where) that Natsume wasn't planned to be the "victor" but he just emerged in the lead at some point and she went along with it, which I always took to be a bit ridiculous because SHE WROTE THIS STORY. The characters lead you places but if she really preferred Ruka as the one Mikan ended up with then she should have written that from the beginning and IMHO, it was always Natsume from the start so no I don't buy that.
I realllyyyyyy don't like being negative about GA so I usually don't think about the canon ending, Memorial Book, or Higuchi Tachibana much. I love this manga with my whole heart and always will, but I really don't like it when creators rag on something fans love just to be edgy or contrary or whatnot. It makes me feel like they don't respect me for liking something THEY made, and if they don't respect me then I don't really wanna respect them. I feel similarly about actors shitting on past projects I like, but this one takes the cake in making me feel Not Great because of how much I love GA and NatsuMikan. It's just a huge slap in the face and always was, since the first time I read that comment of hers.
Since then, neither the canon ending nor the Memorial Book have existed to me.
Death of the author applies to lots of works but to me it has always applied to GA and always will!
#anonymous#answered#ga#gakuen alice#ooh getting reminded of that unfunny joke.... grr why would anyone say that???#abt a ship THEY wrote???#i mean i know why. its bc leaving it open is a way of giving hope to all fans#with literally no regard for the sanctity of the story she spent a decade writing#idc if she liked natsume by the end of it or got sick of the story or whatever. by saying that nonsense#she left a gross taste in all natsumikan shippers mouths and i feel kinda disrespected by it#ten years for a ship to develop and slowly win over ur fans' hearts#to the point that it is the majority of the fans' favorite part of the manga. u then make the ship canon#have them confess and propose to each other and kiss and be devoted to each other#and then bc ur personally salty for whatever dumb reason decide to invalidate your OWN STORY to say#mikans feelings arent even that strong and actually she might leave a guy she gave her alice up for#in order to have emotional affairs w other ppl to satisfy other shippers or whatnot#ITS STUPID AND GROSS AND I HATE IT.#honestly this and the ending and the unfortunate implications abt child abuse#and her comments abt liking natsume/aoi and subaru/hotaru incest as well as the age gaps#do i rly HAVE to respect her as a person beyond this story i like that she wrote that i have separated from her a long time ago?#i love ga i love nm i love the characters i love much of the story.... i dont actually care abt the mangaka. that is all.#long post#ish#mainly for the tags honestly#whatever i wish i could be more positive in these answers but its not a subject i feel positively about so...#but if you are a nm shipper ignore that nonsense okay? we're in this together and we're not stupid and our ship's not built on weak bones#<3 read some fanfiction since its by people who actually care about natsumikan lmao <3 itll be okay

Team behind "Ma Meilleure Ennemie": How long this song can be?
Arcane team: Ahhhh... 2:30 max??? No, wait, 2:28!
Team behind "Ma Meilleure Ennemie": ...hmmm, quite short. Okay :)
Arcane team: Okay?
Team behind "Ma Meilleure Ennemie": Hehe :D *creates THE BEST FUCKING 2:28 song EVER*
#I think that Riot Music was a lil bit stupid when they underestimated such performers as Stromae and Pomme.#bitch. did you forget that you invited quite literally the BEST french music artists for your soundtrack?#(in Stromae's case french-speaking belgian)#did you really place your bets on “Fantastic”? REALLY? that's why you keep trying to promote it???#and like. it's a REALLY good song (not in the scene it's playing though WHICH IS CRIMINAL 💀).#but. did you really think it could compete with THE SONG FROM THE ARTISTS WHO ARE KNOWN TO ABSOLUTELY OBLITERATE EVERYONE ELSE?!#also. one of my frineds said that Stromae‚ Pomme‚ Luc Van Haver and Alex Seaver have an opportunity to do the funniest thing ever.#and by that she meant “lol. do you think they'll do better than ”The Line“ too?”#I think it's 50/50. but yeah. in case Ma Meilleure Ennemie does it again... that would be another win for french arcane fanbase 😂😂😂#arcane#the point is... ma meilleure ennemie is the shortest song from act 3. and yet... people loved it so much it's crazy.#I think if this song was even longer it would be unstoppable (it is now BUT YOU KNOW EVEN MORE UNSTOPPABLE)

My thoughts toward the actual r-word itself are nuanced... I think the defense that is used - that people the r-word actually describes aren't going to be offended by it because they literally can't be - aren't wrong! People who cognatively cannot take care of themselves and need a caretaker (strict defintion: "an IQ of 70 to 75 or below that is accompanied by significant limitations in social, practical, and conceptual skills"), aren't going to care because they aren't going to understand. It /is/ different then the n-word and faggot because those people can defend themselves, and r-word descriptive people cannot.
Which is the whole point!!! Of not saying it!
I do not see saying the r-word itself as bad because the people its categorizing! Aren't going to care! What actually matters is that you are following a social convention.
You say the n-word or faggot without being one of those populations - you will get beat up. This strongly encourages people not to say those<3. But there will be no consequences in saying the r-word because they can't fight for themselves.
It's a social convention /because/ they can't defend themselves. The point is that you are being respectful to someone that you don't have to be respectful to!
But if you aren't going to follow that social convention - if you won't be needlessly nice to a random person - what other conventions won't you follow? When else will you be needlessly cruel?
It's less about the word itself and more about the signifiers it has.
.

Anyway that tweet was hilarious.
#ive thought a lot about this bc my mom uses it a lot and we all go “stop using that!” and she goes “they dont care!”#shes an occupational therapist who works with those kind of people#but again like. its not about that its about following social norms.#to be clear autism isnt mental r*-ation.#but i think dreams explanation was a fair one.#“but people say this to me all the time with the same context whats the difference”?#and there isnt a difference. hes completely right. “why are your expectations different for me?”#is what hes actually asking. big question with not a lot of right answers#i especially think his specifying that he “doesnt know what the rule is” is increeeedibly telling#because hes genuinely asking what the rule is.#thats so autism of him <3#the rule is “dont say it” but hes not being given a reason why#and tbh i feel that. i also dont follow stupid rules without being given a reason why#anyway. yeah it's something ive thought about before. twitter is dumb af Everybody should delete that app.#sometimes ill go on it if i get a dm or something and i start scrolling and im like! wow! this is miserable! i should leave! and then i do.

I genuinely love how terrible Tuvok is as a leader. The two times he's in charge the people under his command try to mutiny against him. Chakotay has to threaten to beat people up for the Maquis to go back to his lessons and the only reason Harry Kim didn't start a mutiny is because Kes got him to change his mind about going back to get the captain. He was literally like one second away from being forced to walk the metaphorical plank.
They just wanna talk Tuvok :) Neelix literally said it best in 'Learning Curve'
The theme of him being too rigid to lead a wide variety of people is so interesting. I assume that as a security head it's easier because you're supposed to be able to unemotionally carry out tasks...there's a certain personality I'm sure that gravitates towards that line of work and perhaps that personality is the kind that Tuvok works well with but I find his claim that he's 'never had an issue' with teaching others before in Learning Curve to be him being oblivious to those issues. In 'Repression' the Maquis crew are all talking about how they can't trust Tuvok because he's a traitor and there's no real push back against this.
No one brings up anything Tuvok's done to make up for this betrayal or soothe these clearly festering bad feelings because he hasn't. He's done literally nothing. This is season 7. He's spent SEVEN YEARS just letting that whole 'I betrayed half this crew' thing mellow because I doubt he even thought to do anything about it. I love this man - he's gonna get stabbed!!!
Chakotay & Neelix forced to do PR for Tuvok as he just obliviously marches forth, unaware that anyone might dislike him or why he should care if they do.
#Tuvok: -Harry's holding a gun to his head- I just want everyone to know that I'm turning around because /I/ want to.#I genuinely do like this <3 It's an interesting character flaw and aspect of his personality#Especially when you contrast it with say B'Elanna as head engineer. She probably has to work with a wide variety of people#personalities and ideas and judge what's best - what to do - it's a more 'creative' job and the fact she does it so well shows that#despite what she thinks she IS good with people! At least in a familiar work setting! She has it in her!#It makes the fact she was practically forced out of Starfleet even sadder...if she'd just been encouraged more !!! AGH!!#anyway Tuvok should not be a captain in Picard and I hate that he is#it's not his personality it's not in his character it was never a stated goal of his it's stupid#not every character needs to be a captain or an admiral to show they've 'made it'#Tuvok needs to be contained to Security he needs to be in there HEHEH#oh another terrible leadership thing is his whole episode with B'Elanna#Tuvok is only good at nurturing people who want to become 'Model Vulcan' or 'Model Starfleet Officer' and only in one particular way#Tuvok#st voyager#Tuvok: I've always taught people this exact way and I've never had any problems with it#Me: X#literally the only thing Chakotay or B'Elanna can say when the Maquis crew say they don't trust Tuvok is like 'hey...c'mon man....'#Janeway isn't doing PR for Tuvok bc she doesn't think he needs it#chara analysis

horrible stupidass day. my aunt died. step-aunt technically; she was my uncle's second wife and she was amazing. they were putting up christmas decorations and she didnt feel well so she went to sit down and . that was it . feel weird bc its the middle of the week and im so wiped out from regular work crap that it isnt even hitting really i just found out and im . like sitting here thinking about dinner. but also she's the kind of person who wouldn't care; she'd think that was funny
#personal#dont reblog#i guess just bc its weird to me when ppl reblog specific personal events from peoples lives#but i also want to talk about her. we didnt see them that often bc they lived a couple states away so the last time was at grandmas funeral#but every time we got together she wanted to talk to me about blue october bc one time she found out we were both fans <3#she was the most patient encouraging woman; her support never felt pushy or like an expectation it was like she just quietly knew you#could do it - whatever 'it' was#compassionate. down to earth. in a family of big personalities terri was just a solid regular open-minded loving person#its fucked up and stupid that she has to be gone and there are so many assholes who dont die of a heart attack while holiday decorating

i cant tell if this one girl is my friend or not how does one know
#recently been realising (oh my God the therapy is working) that my understanding of friendship is very. not good#but this girl was like u r my friend :3 and i was like oh .ok#but i didnt know that but like okay#ive known her for like four years anyway#but she laughs at me sometimes when i say things or just looks at me like i said something stupid .and it makes me feel very dumb#i dont think friendship should go like that ?????but she said ????????#🧍idk#i dont know many people so when we share classes i sit with her#shes fun to be around sometimes but sometimes i dont want to say anything when im with her because she makes me feel very stupid#but i dont think she does it on purpose .but also im uncomfortable around her a lot she makes me anxious sometimes#is this normal .people dont like me very much so ive been friends with people who treated me worse#the constant flipping from nice to condescending is whats frying my nerves because it makes the interactions unpredictable#if she picks an option i can mentally prepare
