hi!! odd request could you explain why komahina isnt toxic

IVE BEEN MEANING TO MAKE A POST ABOUT THIS ANON !!!! u read my mind ….. so the reason why i dont consider komahina to be true and real toxic yaoi is because theyre intended to be mutually healing for each other.

their main, striking similarity is their upholding of danganronpa’s harmful societal values on talent. a theme throughout their interactions is komaeda explicitly stating a subconscious belief hajime has and then hajime denying that there’s any similarities in their belief system — everything komaeda says about the inferiority of the talentless is something hajime has always believed, just in a less self aware way. they both end up essentially killing themselves (komaeda in a more literal manner, hajime with the kamukura project) to become something bigger, something worth being called the ultimate hope, because they believe their talent status gives their life no meaning and they feel they have to “make up” for it. theyve always been similar; one sees the other in the things he hates about himself.

this is why, when they fall in love, it’s so groundbreaking for their respective arcs. in realizing the similarities in their belief system, hajime becomes more self aware about how stupid his insecurities are. hajime is able to break komaedas worldview by being talentless and inspiring hope/being an equal to his talented peers from 77b, and this makes komaeda realize that, because they are so similar, HE can do that too (side note makoto does this first when he kills junko, but komaeda knows hajime personally/saw hajimes development play out firsthand so its more effective). they feed into each other’s development and are able to grow from it.

they’re not really framed with much toxicity, and you can especially see this with allllll the visual parallels theyre given by the end of the anime. the juxtaposition of hajime grabbing komaedas junko arm to help him out of the pod and hajime grabbing komaedas prosthetic arm to help him onto the boat (paired with the line “let’s set off, in the name of hope”) symbolizes how interconnected hajime is to komaeda’s arc — his journey from old arm to new arm, from despair to hope to future. (and then theres the scene where hajime ditches ghost chiaki for komaeda too. and u see them eating with each other in the credits.) if they were intended to be toxic, they wouldnt have ended on that note.

and THENNNN theres also the fact that hajime’s really the only person capable of loving komaeda, in the beginning. hajime cant get struck down by komaedas luck, because hajimes the only one with ult luck powerful enough to counter komaedas. their lucks cancelling each other out is a concept stressed by the anime with the kamukoma gun scene. he’s also the only person with the guts to put in the effort to UNDERSTAND komaeda, a concept stressed in komaedas FTEs. hes the first person that physically can, and the first person thats made the effort. this is groundbreaking for komaeda.

theyre not toxic, they just go through a little angst period that ends up being resolved in the end. hajimes confusion towards komaeda and komaedas confusion towards hajime was necessary, they HAD to figure each other out because in doing that they learn something about THEMSELVES. that process comes with some angsting that is often mistaken for toxicity. of course they cant start dating mid killing game, THAT would have be pretty toxic, because a killing game is not a breeding ground for romance. this is why komahina never canonically starts dating - the time frame doesnt cover enough time for that. but they get two love confessions and the whole first fte is explicitly romantic.

sorry can i be insane and incoherent with my post work 2 am brain for a minute

man i swear i swear to god im going to go back to completely ignoring the existence of the bill book again in a minute but i just keep thinking back to the general way alex talks about ford and bill (lets not get into this but i saw a quote from the panel talking about them like theyre on equal footing thats been pissing me off in particular) + the entire part in the book about bill getting ford drunk and making him do things he normally wouldnt do thing like maybe theres better examples of how something just Isnt Quite Matching Up re: actual written text and authorial interpretation/intent(???) but it just stands out as such an egregious example in my mind because its like Okay you are a writer ok you are writing these things you are choosing to make this happen you are literally in complete control here so like if what you want to do is go for Two People In A Rivalry (which would already contracting Everything in all preexisting media but whateverrrrrr) then like why are we doing this why are we tossing such an incredibly horrifying yet common to the point of being a cliche real life way someones autonomy can be stripped away by someone who explicitly has power over them into this like were not in Cartoon World anymore this happens to actual people in real life and everyone knows it like its completely impossible to believe In Our Society that you can invoke that without being aware of all the insanely obvious baggage that comes with it so like what is the angle here. what is going on what is this doing here. actual genuine question am i just having an autism moment is it just meant to be funny and thats it. like is the whole bit meant to be a joke that you dont think about at all. because if its meant to be a joke it strikes me as insanely poor taste and like ten years behind edgelord frat boy humor type shit. or are we just like for real supposed to believe no coercion was involved at all in their next interaction given everything else and brush it off bc come fucking onnnnnn. or are we just supposed to think its fine because haha funnie karaoke scene its not like anything bad happened (even though people are continuously reading innuendo into 'one thing led to another' Gee i wonder why). like its for real baffling to me something just isnt adding up genuinely like whats going on. why is this even here. but maybe im just insane

[omegasmileyface]

the hiding of necessary foundations and infrastructure as something too ugly for the eyes of the good people is a good way to breed a society that is ignorant of the way things work, and thus will let just about anything go if they don't have to see it.

for basic, physical resources (ie putting power substations as out of the way as possible, hiding cell towers as fake trees, camouflaging manhole covers) hiding them makes for a people who dont have any idea of what/how much theyre consuming, and cant self-regulate their own consumption. they have no idea how much power any given computer program uses, how many people really live in their area, how much water goes through the hydroelectric dam every hour.

for labor and human resources (ie putting service elevators and hallways off to the side), it makes for an incredible class divide. its a clear reflection of the hidden and incredibly inferior slave houses and servants' entrances in the homes of the rich historically. the wealthy then dont have a spacial connection to the working class, they live in entirely different worlds.

in both cases, making necessary functions happen outside of the everyday public eye makes it so people, especially privileged people, get to live in a fantasy world where the reality under their feet isnt something they have to know about except on rare occassions, giving them the false idea that it IS only there on rare occasions. it makes infrastructure and labor a taboo topic, rather than just being the simple everyday truth it actually is, and it makes people who speak out about it weird and nitpicky.

a conscientious, equal, and balanced society is only possible if we're allowed to see and interact with the bones making our everyday lives possible. we need to embrace these things going forward, not hide them away behind a facade like we're making a movie set. the foundation IS a part of the big picture, not some disgusting side effect of it to be hidden away.

let the laborers come in through the front door-- maybe the rich will notice theyre human too. let the power plant be in eyesight-- maybe people will notice how much it has to burn every day. don't sacrifice safety, of course (denial isnt the ONLY reason we keep sewage underground and electrical wiring behind walls), but dont just hide it like its not happening

HI THIS IS THE SONAVERSE BACKSTORY LORE POST

Hello and welcome hi this is Sunny's big ramblepost about Sonaverse :+)

Sonaverse is where I put my ocs that are liek, my fursonas, and stuff like that.. Most of them are technically fursonas because im a very deep and varied critter lol. But yeah I wanted it to be fun and more unique than just like. Well It's Earth! So I came up with some fun worldbuilding touches hehe :3

One note before we start: Whenever I say the word "Human," that is a BLANKET TERM! "Human" refers to any creature with the intelligence equal to or surpassing a Homo Sapien. Because there are furries and humans and elves and demons and angels and robots and on and on and on.

The rest will be under the cut to not give you a mile long post to scroll through but It would make me Very Very Happy if you read it :+)

SO TO BEGIN.

At the very basest there are three sort of base inherent energies about the world that affect everything, sort of like thermodynamics or, like, gravity. I stole those psychology (?) terms because I like how they sound and Freud was a quack and I can do what I want I don't care.

-Id, being originally defined as like, wishful thinking, illogicality, desire, etc. is the name given to, essentially, magical energy. Magic! You know magic. You can do a lot with it. Id is associated with life, growth, movement, warmth, things of that nature. ID IS NOT INHERENTLY "GOOD" DO NOT MAKE THAT ASSUMPTION.

-Superego, being originally defined as rigidity/morality/stuff like so, is basically anti-magic, like how there's matter and antimatter. It's the fact that things end, death, slowing and cessation, cold. SUPEREGO IS NOT INHERENTLY "EVIL" DO NOT MAKE THAT ASSUMPTION. I know I said this like twice but people love to think "death is EVIL!!" no its fucking not okay if nothing died thered be way too much shit. Mf hoe /like that one post.

-Ego, being the thing that keeps both of them in check originally, is now... The same thing essentially. It is still an energy that permeates reality, but it is more prevalent in humans. Everything contains it, but humans contain FAR more ego, which allows them to sort of manually balance their own levels of Superego and Id. It will do it automatically naturally just due to how they interact, but people can shift it however they like. They can't shift it astronomically in either direction though, because the results are... Not ideal.

SO. Earth is... Different.

-Earth has multiple different planes of reality. [Well. Technically the entire universe does, but Earth's specifically will be relevant later.] There's the mortal plane, where... Mortals go. Big surprise there. There's the spiritual plane, where creatures comprised more prominently of Id reside, fae and supernatural creatures and the like. There's the plane of Divinity, where all things along the lines of gods, demons, angels, and things like that reside. This one is split up differently, being heaven, hell, and Paradiso [that one's where real gods and stuff reside.] You don't like... Go to heaven or hell though. It's just where angels or demons live. They're like the spiritual plane but theyre mmore unique manifestations of Id with distinctly divine touches. Reincarnation is real and people know that it's real but there's not really a way to carry stuff over. Reincarnation super is real though and like everyone knows it.

-Earth has rings! This is because I think it'd be cool if Earth had rings. Those edits of what it'd look like from the ground if Earth had rings like saturn were cool as hell and I'm like well yuppp.

-Earth has three moons! Luna, Aegis, and Cassanova. I haven't developed much about these yet but I think it'd be cool if Earth had multiple moons.

-And... Something else that needs its own section.

So like what's the catch besides that.

Well a long time ago Earth used to be more normal, in that its axis was actually Normal and Upright. However, later on, but still really really far in the past, some guy that was pissed off about nobody paying attention to them said "I'll give you people something to remember," and did the, still to date, largest and most intensive incantation to ever be recorded. Nobody actually knows how they did it, but what happened resulted in an absolutely massive crater on the planet, and the utter concentration of magic actually shifted the Planar Axes. The Metaphysical Axis was shifted drastically, causing a torrent of Id to spill forth, and saturate the planet with it, making literally everything more magical.

This metaphysical axis shift also means that Id-composed creatures [Spiritual plane, Divine plane] could enter our plane FAR easier. This is not necessarily a bad thing, as most things live in relative harmony now. However this is a minor problem as now non human demons (and some human ones), prone to mischievousness can and do rather frequently enter the mortal plane, infesting places. Due to this, demon hunting is a somewhat common occupation, and it's treated like an exterminator job, essentially.

Due to this, Earth has some more unique changes as well!

-Oxygen content is higher, resulting in creatures having the capability to get a lot larger! Megafauna are back on the menu. -Plants grow a lot more! Most cities are much more "solarpunk" looking. Plantlife and vegetation is seen not exactly as sacred, but a place with none of it anywhere is generally accepted to be incredibly dry and boring and distasteful. Almost all locations have plants growing on them inside them, the like. Magic helps sustain them but they all sort of magically manage to make stuff work fine. And that's the main bulk of it all :3 Here's some other little notes:

-Magic and Technology work hand in hand in a lot of things, most technology is magically powered as well. -I make the lore stupid as fuck like tf2 lore almost cause I feel like it and it's funny to me. Shit like Abe Lincon pictured on the penny, rocket jumping. -The city it "Takes Place In" [where all my ocs go] has a building that's sort of its highlight called the Gaia Archive. Think of it like the Library of Alexandria on steroids. Mass collection of all of humanity's knowledge, digital and physical, a combination museum and library and archive and anything else of that nature you could think of.

Soooo thats abt it for the basics :3 If you have any questions or stuff puhLEASE ask me I looove talking about it. Thanks for readinggggggg :333

[meatriarch]

overview cont. i guess lmao. no one asked but its been something in the back of my mind for a while now & i got an anon tonight telling me i come off intimidating and i feel the need to just. make note of some things so that hopefully if anyone feels a certain way with how i run this blog then like. know and understand both my side as well as that my dms / disc is open for anyone to pop into -- just obv depends on the headspace at the time.

i know this is long & am sorry if it doesnt make sense but. just setting it gently out there.

but, again, my disc ( same as my url ) is open for any mutual. its open to shoot the shit. open for plotting. open for memes. what have you. i may not always get to every message. i may not be in the headspace for certain things or certain energies. but its open for anyone as long as we are mutuals & if handles are different between here & disc then i just get a heads-up abt who you are so i know lmao

likewise, i am fairly fucking slow writing-wise and alot of that is because of offsite issues chipping into me but also because most, if not all, of the things i DO have in the inbox or drafts are from my affiliates at this time ( tho i do have some more from the archive i need to move over from a couple people ). alot of my spoons and drive to write and post is because of the dynamics and plotting built between our muses. im not a blog centered on plotting but, it does help to have a better idea on how to navigate between muses c: esp for those technically outside of my kiddos' texas canon obviously. that being said, anyone is welcome to like any inbox calls i put out there. and my inbox is always open and accepting, even if i havent reblogged prompts in a while -- i have my tag linked on my pinned and its available always & for whomever. it just comes with the understanding that i may take a while to respond to them & they may not get as expansive as some of my posts can get with my affiliates; which again, is just simply from how much we've been building together that helps with that!

on that note. my connections with my texas pals are very dear to me. both ic & ooc. as i noted in my overview post, i talk about the dynamics we've built openly and freely here because theyre so integral to my portrayals. they & their kiddos have my entire heart and i unapologetically love having fun with them and going on tangents with them and bouncing thoughts off of each others posts on the dash.

my experiences in other corners of tumby rp have not been particularly kind. and its been a long time since ive felt comfortable especially ooc with writing partners. and i understand if i may come across closed off or intimidating or unapproachable. i understand if i also come across partial to them / play favorites because frankly... i am. i do. thats because they've built bonds not just between characters but also with me. ill be very transparent and say that i am very particular in who i get close with and that translates into here too. but thats also just something that easily can also happen with literally anyone. again i do understand if i come across closed off in any sense but genuinely? im not scary and i have options open for continuing to grow more connections with people c: theyre open always. what im not going to do, however, purely out of personal experience is chase after interactions. the last fandoms i wrote in i did so and it wore me down into my last hiatus. i will show equal enthusiasm to whats given. but i wont fish for it, either. its just not my cup of tea.

i like to think im fairly patient and understanding in a lot, probably moreso than i should in some cases -- sincerely though if theres issues know that im fine with it being brought up. but im also not going to be welcoming nor tolerate my boundaries being disregarded or disrespected, im already dealing with that with an offsite friend. not dealing with it here. i do not like feeling so uncomfortable existing on my own blog or in my own disc. and i get that already with my personal disc & this offsite friend in particular. im not dealing with it here too.

which on that note, i also wont be receptive with issues regarding what i post, what i talk about, who i write with, who i choose as affiliates or mains or w/e. my blog & my dash are my safe & comfort zones and these muses often help me alot with navigating when my headspace is at a fucked up level. if any of that is a concern yes youre welcome to come to me and talk it over but end of the day? my comfort & mental state is a priority to me. if thats ever an issue i truly would just recommend you do what you feel is best for you. everyone existing on this hell-plane are entitled on curating their space in whatever manner they see fit.

again. i promise im not scary. im not an ass. but i do curate my space to be in my best interest and at my age & experience across the 10+ yrs ive been rping on and off here, ive seen alot, heard alot, experienced alot. i do apologize however if i do come across unapproachable or intimidating. i do apologize if i seem closed off to only a select few. i dont mind if you follow / we're mutuals solely just to keep up with what i write! thats completely okay too and i thank those who are <3 but if i seem unapproachable i literally just gently gesture again to my disc or prompts tag etc! i welcome any to get to know myself or my muses. regardless of how much time has passed since following one another. just again, comes with the understanding that my social battery & headspace often does work against me. and thats not personal against anyone, ever.

Hi there, I have a few questions!

-What is the name of Matt’s shop? Any details on what it kinda looks like/where it is in town?

-Also I’m guessing the house and shop are in Stewart, Minnesota, right? The little town of like ~500 people?

-What is the house/property layout that Bryn’s family gave to Matt? Who has which bedrooms, do they all have a similar schedule and eat breakfast together or anything? Do Wibble and Cammie help out around the house?

-Do Hello and Goodbye try to have approximately equal time controlling the body? What times do they have?

-Are there any “traditions” that June, Hello, and Goodbye have, like Taco Tuesday or Sunday Movie Night or Friday Game Night or anything like that?

-Does June interact with customers at the shop, or is that mostly a Matt thing? Does the shop do well in town, or is it kinda hard to stay afloat?

-Out of everyone living in the house, does anyone have any kind of allergy?

-Does June ever go out into town for fun in his free time, or does he mostly stay in cuz it’s hard to hide Hello and Goodbye in public?

Thank you!!

havent decided yet!! But I Imagine itd be in the next (bigger) town over, like a half hour drive, since there would be more people to actually be able to make enough money to survive

the loose inspiration is stewart, BC actually! :D Canada! but funnily enough yes the same amount of people!

havent decided much about it yet besides the fact that its a bigger house but very old, so lots of repairs are needed. Bryn is very uncomfortable around hello/goodbye at first so june/hello/goodbye stay on the other side of the house. Wibble and Cammie have their own shared room & yes they do help around the house! Cammie has found she enjoys folding laundry (warm, kitty tendencies) and Wibble likes sweeping (witch with her broom teehee)!

approximately equal time, but they no longer portion it out. if hello wants a turn he gets it, if goodbye wants one he gets it. I imagine its a lot more fluid now than it was before, with both of them able to take control of one part of the body to do things. ie) Hello is in control, and goodbye uses an arm to wave to someone passing by or grab something he wants to look at. If they get into an argument, June got them to start doing rock paper scissors to see who gets a turn. Goodbye tends to win more often (hello just wont stop picking scissors)

Oh absolutely. June was an only child and he is so excited to have a big family all under one roof. He and bryn are def the ones organizing a lot of that kind of stuff

June is the one interacting with customers, since matt isnt much of a people person. the shop struggled at first until they got enough good reviews that people started coming to them more often, now its doing fine! Not super super well, but livable! Bryn is a dentist so her income is def helping, and june does odd jobs on the side as well. Hello keeps begging to open a daycare (with june also begging) but its a firm no from matt. too risky.

Matt is allergic to pollen, and Piper has a bad peanut allergy

He does! While all 3 of them are a bit clingy, june is trying very hard to not spend all of his time at home. He takes trips to the nearby other towns to go to the mall, grab lunch, just hang out etc. Sometimes he'll take one of the animatronics, but only ever in the winter when theyre able to hide them easier. Other times if the animatronics are getting antsy june will facetime them while hes out so they can see. Cammie especially though is very bitter about needing to remain hidden, same with hello (though hello is more whiny about it rather than mad) - bonus: June really likes taking piper on "field trips" to the park, and piper brings the robots the little presents she finds (rocks, leaves etc. Goodbye has a collection of everything shes ever given him) - astro cadet is Piper's BEST friend

Mine is food obsessive and can’t pace herself so she’s on a very strict schedule. OC (other cat) is a grazer and we had to get a microchip feeder for him because she kept stealing all of his food. They’re on timed feeding at 7 AM, 12 PM, 6 PM, and 11 PM. He’s a little older by 2/3 yrs but is only 4, and he gets really mad when she plays with anything. He’ll bully her off of a toy or try to harass her in the litter box. We have 3 so they’re not short on them. He’s fully kept out of my room so she has space to herself since he has free reign on the rest of the apartment space. We’re on the second story and there are some birds that nest nearby, but nothing else particularly disruptive unless someone is loud in the hall; neither of them like that. I know it can take a while for them to settle in but I’m just hoping I can get the violence to tone down because I’m tired of breaking up fights :(

once again I cant give specific advice since I cant see it in person

but it sounds like he's definitely defending 'his' territory from an interloper. so I would suggest establishing your roommates (if theyre amenable to it) room as 'his' safe space and the rest of the apartment as shared space. you can do this by moving his feeder in there and his favorite toys, as well as quiet time in there. when you are gone they should both get equal treatment of being put in their respective rooms. does she have her own toys or have they all previously been his? if she has some to call 'hers' then he may not take as much offense

it would take consistent effort but some general positive reinforcement and aversion training could go a long way. if he initiates a fight you can separate them by putting him in your roommates room for a calm break for 3~5 min with no people. this would teach him "ok... I pick a fight I get time out." same for her if she initiates. for the positive reinforcement, when they are harmoniously sharing space or having positive interactions its good to give high value rewards (special treats) so they associate that shared space with tolerance

for high value rewards they need to be something rarely given but VERY tasty. regular treats are good but dont quite have that impact. those licky packets or squeeze tubes are what I would use since they take a bit to go through

ALSO ASK YOUR VET FIRST but if your cats energy levels are effecting your sleep you can see about some cat melatonin treats to promote quiet nights

[each-uisge]

there’s something really engaging about the story of season 1 sao but so much of it wasn’t fleshed out enough or given enough attention

asuna and kirito’s dynamic and their dedication to each other is really nice to see but the impact of it is hurt by the fact that every female character(+the one guy in s3) who interacts with kirito becomes a simp. either it’s a harem, or kirito and asuna have healthy, unshakeable romance. pick one man

the way the players in sao created their own governments and armies and charities and a whole economy is cool! it’s genuinely a super cool concept! but you don’t really see the extent of it, or get to see the players create it. there’s a little bit of development you can see in what, episode 2? but then it’s a big timeskip after and watchers don’t get to see the creation of the massive guilds, or whoever made their uniforms or banners. you go from an unorganized mmo to everyone struggling and then bam, its like, a whole unique nation now

or the way no matter how old players were when they put on the nervgear, they were all forced into basically adulthood. kirito and asuna are what, 15? but after that timeskip they dont feel 15 at all, they feel like generic ambiguously aged anime characters anywhere from 15-25. that wouldve been a cool sideplot to add in, the forced maturing of these kids who love video games forced to mature because one misstep with a random animal could kill them. like yellowjackets or lord of the flies or fullmetal alchemist.

instead we get...nothing. no one ever really acknowledges that kirito and asuna are high schoolers who are just very, very good at playing video games. agil and klein are obviously 21+ but treat both of them like they’re complete equals, never batting an eye at these teens being major players in every floor clear. it really has that anime thing where the age of the main character is completely meaningless because theyre just going to be treated as adults by the narrative (15 yr old ichigo kurosaki, looking at you....)

there’s even an orphanage later on in the season!! where players have dedicated their lives to taking care of literal children who have been trapped in this death game. 6-10 year olds who were given the cool new game to play by their parents but are now stuck there. even this detail is only mentioned in one episode.

AND the end is stupid. they meet up with the crazy guy who locked everyone in the game and kirito asks him point blank hey man why’d you do it and the guy looks out at the sunset, smiles, and says idk dude i totally forgot but these two years have been crazy tho right lmao i can’t believe we all lived here and then promptly kills himself

AEMOND WAITING FOR AEGON AT NIGHT TT WHY so cute??? TT like they bicker and almost fight over a woman but hes still waiting for his bro TT it made me cry rn.

YES THEY THIS IS BROTHERHOOD/THE SIB DYNAMIC IN AN NUTSHELL also in my head they met because specifically to talk about the issue aemond had and to air out his feelings over the fact he just witnessed THE FUCKING PRINCE AND YN MAKING OUT IN HIS PLACE OF WORK RIP THAT 💀

also this little feeling of woe between them while theyre talking abt the woman theyre both pining after and whos never to be with either of them...

T_T It be like that

WHINING DRUNK DAEMON TT im a simp. can imagine his glossy eyes and smudged kisses on whatever skin he can find bc of the yearning for close proximity.

she needs to preserve her maidenhood till the wedding night, after all. (sorry IK its bad, sorry:( )

hELP EW HSAFHLASHFLAHFALSHF THE WAY I ACTUALLY WENT EW HAHAHHH by all means go off girlie AHHAHAHAHAHA

and daemon doing sports! i love this detail that shows that hes really from a royal family and has duties and had an education and these royal hobbies (ig?).

YES I LOVE THIS DETAIL TOO ACTUALLY IM GLAD YOU EVEN NOTICED IT I ACTUALLY THINK I WILL ADD A SCENE WITH HIM DOING SPORTS 🤤🥵 JUST BE BEING A THIRST ASS RAT FOR DAEMON ALSFHALSFHALSFHASL;FHLAS

DAEMON CALLING READER PRINCESS. you probably didnt mean it but i do see it as the reference to her actually being his wife who has his royal title.

NO I 100% MEANT IT LIKE THAT YOU GOT IT RIGHT ON

“Then why won’t you let me put a dragonling in you?” 1) i snorted. 2) it made me think. its ok with your point of view. but since ive seen the beginning as reader dying during the labour, i though she might be frightened of actually getting pregnant? yes its been 2000 years but. she not likely got pregnant throughout this time.

i totally understand what you mean............................................ what if i told you................................................................................... i envisioned she had a kid in her 2000 year wait............................................................................................................ ok but honestly more of an adoptive parent. but idk im still on the fence about come on she has been alive for 20000000 yearSSSSS there should have been at least ONE PERSON AT LEAST ONE PERSON that she let get close to her, thus the plotline i told you about the ex lashfalkfhalsfh OMG GIRL I JUST THOUGHT OF A REALLY MESSY TIMELINE FUCKKKKKKK HELP

'not liking his indirect insinuation of weakness' GASLIGHT GATEKEEP GIRLBOSS YES!! love her.

PURR EXACTLY

the domestic atmosphere of their interactions is making me smile so softly. AND daemon caring about wifes well-being in the first place after shes gone? equals him being smug before.

I love the domestic atmosphere between them too!!! T_T we love a caring husband even though its rooted in his own self interest T_T idk what you mean about him being smug before but yes he is always smug anyway so HAHAH

OH AND IM THE GOVERNMENT JFHCXJSDJ weve talked abt it so it was cute to find it in the fic. youre such a sweety<з

I HAD TO PUT IT COS ITS SO FUNNY

STILL pretty awkward interactions with aemond make my heart clench. hes so timid and so emo for this. understandable that 1) he respects his professor 2) hes in love w/her 3) thus he wants her to be happy and hes the type to let her go find her happiness in another place 4) hes suspicious. but so emo TT

im a bit amused that you find aemond timid. perhaps in the face of yn and daemon, in comparison, he does come off like that, but also i think its just him being younger than both of them and not yet being so sure of himself yet. i think he also senses something between them that cannot fight against his 'love' his crush which is just silly or childish. so he would not yet speak on his feelings while their dynamic is mentor and student lol we'll see

and your intro to the 'investigation' (hope im not saying some ridiculous shit to you)! this book intrigues. and now im really inerested if shes gonna tell aemond anything. bc she like had intention to do so?... im intrigued.

im still on the fence about yn talking about the whole thing in general. i mean she's halfheartedly spoken her truth to multiple characters, but it was hard for her FOR ME to be even able to make her just to viserys that she loves daemon so much. so a part of me is thinking of making aemond her confidant, wherein he knows everything about her and no one else does but also im thinking what if hes so highstrung on figuring out this mystery its suddenly shown to everyone, daemon, aegon, aemma, everyone, BUT him and then when he finds it out for himself, hes like betrayed because everyone found out without even digging into it. but then if i take that route, i could make him into a villain and 0.0 the plot would get mega twisted HAHAHAHAH. also what you said is not ridiculous. you totally caught onto me foreshadowing the fact aemond is going to try and find out about her

so THE king coming to the museum. its interesting how hes so calm and thoughtful(?) and its relieving how hes so protective of his brother. even if hes against the wedding and dont know this woman, he knows his brother is in love and goes crazy bc of her so hes being the real kepa and going and trying to solve it all.

VISERYS BEING THAT DAD TO DAEMON THAT HE NEVER WAS TO HIS KIDS (OTHER THAN RHAENYRA) IN HIS PREVIOUS LIFE. redemption arc real. HAHAHAHA. i mean in the show this was the whole vibe viserys gave to me. also the actor in general. him and matt are so brothers irl <3

i also see them having a nice conversation with logic, calmness, respect and all and daemon rushing in and ruining it by screaming smth like 'fckng viserys i love her'.

I ALMOST WROTE SMTH LIKE THAT but i felt like it would kill the whole chapter so i didnt maybe for the next one

also. i always read the last line before reading smth. and i was so amused by seeing aegons plain and loosey text to aemond. theyre so bros here i love them TT

????? HLKASHDHASD why do you read the last first??? but yes they are SO BROS IN THIS I LOVE THEM SO MUCH

overall, this part was more about daemon, domestic interactions, spoilers(?) of forthcoming events and symbols so no tears. (NOT a dare)

HAHAHHHAAHH. there arent spoilers what do you mean ASL:FHASFAS SPOILERS ARE LIKE INFO OUTSIDE THE STORY THAT IS TALKING ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS NEXT so i think you mean foreshadowing. i mUST make you cry next time

im very proud of you for writing so much.

THANK YOU MY LOVE PROUD OF ME TOO

i appreciate your efforts soso much! and oh how big brained r u in this part! ig all your plans were given the greatest expression and a start! youve done SOSO good! thank u so much for the time, thoughts and hard work you invest in this! hope youre proud of yourself as well. bc you deserve it. you and your fics deserve much more love than tumblr can ever provide.

take care! love you<з

i love you <3 take care as well

[hiemaldesirae]

okay no you know what. the csm brainrot is getting to me so im gonna detail out the character parallels of makima and vox (<- probably misused those words but i dont fucking care im going insane). warning this will make sense to like a total of one person (myself) so. yeah

warning there are spoilers for csm arc1 so if u wanna read that..... tread carefully. theyre at the very end tho

makimas character arc through the entirety of csm is about control. yes shes based off of mommy issues the concept yes she is basically acting as denjis mother but this isnt the core of her identity. her identity is the fact that she is something inhuman that had never learnt to be human and thus channels this outwardly through exerting control to maintain the "familial" relationships she keeps

voxs character is basically the opposite of this. hes a sinner demon, a human become inhuman (and him more than most, even, because not only has he had his humanity stripped from him but hes also a Machine.) stripped of humanity, stripped of flesh, he should, if he were normal, hypothetically view this and his new situation as a monstrosity and a way that control had been taken away from him. and maybe he did at first, but he learns to take over this loss of control in his life. unlike makima who takes the hand she is dealt and follows through with it, vox has had his hand swapped and in the end, not only manages to win the game but double his earnings

i think a lot about the manipulation that goes on in csm. its not supposed to be psychological horror but a lot of what happens in part one honestly reads as psychological horror to me, even before the worst of the worst happens. vox and makimas own brands of sociopathy mirror each other as male & female psyches mirror each other: (only through what we have been shown so far) vox manipulates through force and intimidation, makima manipulates through the veneer of kindness and motherly companionship. the difference between them is what separates voxs character as being more comedic despite being equally competent: because with vox its something we dont think we'd fall for as easily while with makima, many of us would easily bend to her whims given half a chance

(unrelated but this is why i like to change voxs gender around so much. both keeping her brand of manipulation as being more aggressive AND exploring a version where she would be softer and kinder and thus even more effective with her manipulation is just. such a good concept to me. especially if shes also struggling with gender identity (get that tv some estrogen RN) also i like seeing my wife in dresses so)

i do also think the way they interact with others is interesting. makima holds everyone at arms length- even and perhaps especially her fellow horsemen. on the other hand vox, an overlord in hell of all places, who should definitely not be the way he is, keeps close relationships and even old flames close to his heart: we see this w the vees and even his obsession with alastor

i just think the way makima got cannibalized by her idol (well. no, thats not right but its really too complicated to properly explain) was a close parallel to vox and al. i fully believe he'd let himself get cannibalized by alastor and that he'd also go the elaborate ass makima style manipulation plot on al if he could. unfortunately alastor is NOT denji and he is very much significantly worse of a person than vox is so. er

also. cult leaders. this i dont think i have to really explain

i want to see vox in makimas black dress with a gut halo above his head is this so much to ask for

AND THE SCENE WHERE SHE EXECUTES QUANXI. or the one where she kills power. i need to see makivox pleasepleadepleasepleas

all of this is sponsored by me thinking makima and voxs eyes look similar

[aplatonic-stuff]

Hi! I had a few questions on what aplatonic actually means and some other things. So do people who identify as aplatonic not love their friends (if they choose to have them)? I don't ask this in a condescending way, more just for clarification. Is it accruate to say that apls don't totally enjoy friendship? I understand that attraction does not equal to action but I'm a bit confused about what that entails in this context. Also, how would a demiplatonic make friends? Because in order to feel a close bond, wouldn't you need to be around that person? But in order to be motivated to be around that person, wouldn't you need to enjoy their company? I hope none of my questions comes off as offensive. I'm not doubting or invalidating apls labels but just trying to understand them more.

for the most part, aplatonic people do not love their friends, however, different people define love differently! for some its a deep emotional bond, for others its an action, it can be many things depending on who you ask aplatonic is a lack of platonic attraction, but connections can be built upon other emotions, or none at all and simply logical reason, and for some they may choose to title that as love! i personally do not love at all, so i dont know much of the complexities of it, but just know that everyone defines love differently and, while many dont, i wouldnt say that all aplatonic people dont love their friends but again, i dont know that much about the different experiences, this is just what sounds most reasonable to me but yes, many aplatonic people dont love their friends, but thats not a bad thing. love is not inherently positive, and lack of love is not inherently negative. theyre both neutral traits, what makes it good or bad is your actions and how you go about it. love or lack thereof can often influence ones actions in one way or another, but the capacity for love itself doesnt have any inherent goodness or badness to it

some aplatonic people do enjoy friendships, some dont. for me personally, i enjoy them because of the benefit i get from them outside of love. i enjoy talking to others, i enjoy listening to them talk, i enjoy the support i get, i enjoy playing games with them, ect. but as there is no 'emotional connection' benefit i get, it can be incredibly draining to keep friendships and interact with others (introversion doesnt help either) and it can be very difficult. but despite that, i feel motivated to have those connections because of the other benefits i get there is many things to be enjoyed from friendship, the emotional connection, the support circle, the enrichment, ect. and thus, there are many reasons one could like (or dislike) friendships, whether they feel platonic attraction or not

i am not demiplatonic, and i dont actually know that much about what its like, so im not the best to talk on this. but what i do know is that there are many things that can motivate one to be around another, and many things that can be enjoyable from being around another, and many different ways and reasons to form a close bond

there are many things to give and gain in every kind of relationship. love, support, care, companionship, and so many things, be they big or small. if you dont feel the draw to one aspect that can come with a relationship, that doesnt inherently mean you dont like the relationship, just that you want something different from it. this is true for platonic, familial, romantic, sexual, and every other kind of relationship and its also fine to not want or need some or any kinds of relationships in your life. everyone is different, and their wants and needs are different too. it can be hard to understand often times, but its also okay if you dont or will never get it, what matters more is respect. its always helpful to understand, but respect should be given regardless of personal understanding

and dont worry about coming off as offensive! its clear you dont know or understand much about the aplatonic label, but youre genuinely trying to learn, and thats not offensive at all. and i just want to say that i really appreciate you trying to learn. when coming across something one doesnt understand, it can be really easy and instinctual to just make assumptions and run with them, and it means so much when people try to learn and be respectful instead of making hurtful assumptions and acting as if they are fact. so thank you, and i hope i made sense and could help, even a little

[quidfree]

just screamed over your fem todobaku it was endlessly entertaining and I’m sure to be rereading it every two weeks from now on... the way katsuki pieces things together and the absurd setting is everything I wanted and more TT!!! For prompts.. tdbk’s relationship in the eyes of their classmates? That moment in a prev fic where momo is like yeah I’m with jirou now 🤗n then tdrk goes oh me too but w bkg is forever embedded into my brain lmfaooo like what does everyone make of this insane pair

pftttttt glad it fulfilled your expectations anon i love writing half-serious todobaku pieces where they are still 50/50 strategic geniuses and emotional morons as per canon but the setting is increasingly absurd. i don't know what the context was for giant deku in that sketch but the visual was too good. date-crasher deku at it again.

as for ur prompt i do love the concept bc i live for third party pov content but i would find it v hard to get done in the prompt format bc 1) honestly a lot of the 1A students (etc) don’t have very defined personalities lol and 2) when it comes to those who do i have too much to say to do this in an hour. however i can give you some bulletpoint summaries of the BNOCs (and if you have any specific niche classmates whose take you want do let me know). with that being said...

kirishima: forever and always a supportive bestie and thus leader of the todobaku fanclub. i mean just read my fic yknow. 1000% called it on bakugous side first (and/or bakugou told him) and has been enthusiastically supportive ever since. hes a big ol romantic really and also unironically thinks todobaku is the manliest of pairings (and totally made for each other, bro!!) so hes beyond stoked when they do get together. hes one of their most comfy third wheels bc he and bakugou r very close and he and todoroki r also good friends so no one is like on uncomfortable/uneven footing and hes unfazed by the ups and downs of their relationship bc hes used to both of their antics. the secret-keeper.

i don’t have enough separate intel on the rest of the bakusquad but they’re 1) completely thrown by the revelation that after years of wheedling and trying to set bakugou up into surprise dates he is not in fact ‘work-sexual’, and to top this off is actually into todoroki of all people 2) obnoxiously supportive, as you would expect. secretly they’re all kind of defensive of bakugou’s fragile heart (citation needed) and so nervous about how the whole thing is gonna work out but when it becomes apparent todoroki does not have better sense they relax and just become excessively nosy. like to complain that bakugou and todoroki weren’t content dominating their year academically and professionally they also had to steal out 2 of the country’s most eligible bachelors, the selfish bastards.

camie: second leader of the todobaku fanclub, idc. clocks it ahead of literally anyone else in their friend group bc she just, like, got that vibe, you know? theres a multitude of equally blunt and inappropriate ways in which she addresses this vibe (calling them out in person when theyre years away from it, trying to not especially artfully orchestrate a get-together, etc) and they are all very unsuccessful. shes ‘lowkey mad bakugou stole her potential man’ but ‘finders keepers’ so once they’re past that she’s all for it since she correctly thinks they r freaks best suited to e/o and also honestly probably thinks bl is cute or something. todoroki and bakugou both endure her encouragement very long-sufferingly. big double dater energy.

yaoyorozu: not at all in the first to clock gang, bc honestly the idea she has of todoroki is still a lil idealized/inaccurate and certainly does not involve dating bakugou; the initial reveal is inevitably delivered very casually to her as she scrambles for a polite reaction. she’s kind of wary of the whole thing at face value but close scrutiny leads her to conclude they’re actually not-terrible together. upon reaching this conclusion she begins making earnest overtures towards a very confused bakugou bc she figures she may as well make the effort to get to know him better. i always hc her as having had a crush of some variety on todoroki at some point so theres probs a bit of wistfulness involved and also a far larger ‘nvm dodged that bullet’ energy bc todobaku r romantically a mess and a half. to her despair she is extremely weak to camie’s todobaku gossip.

uraraka: to everyone’s vague bewilderment, a secret todobaku stan from the get-go. you could say this is bc it leaves deku solidly open but honestly she just has similarly odd friendships with todoroki and bakugou and it’s like a persistent guilty thought of hers that they’re kind of well-suited somehow. she often tells todoroki he can do better just to wind bakugou up but would be the first to take bakugou’s side if he actually did. she really enjoys them together bc she finds somehow they’re easier to tease- it humanizes them both further to be weak to dumb emotions. she plays counsellor sometimes but like subtly bc she knows better than to give outright advice.

iida: completely blindsided by the information, also spends several months in the grips of insomnia convinced that both their friend group and japan are doomed given the inevitable dramatic breakup. then he spends a singular day hanging around them at work or something and realises that his imagined version of them as a couple was in fact completely off-base bc they’re just overly intense workaholics who are too single-focused to ever bother splitting up. also top 1 most likely friend to launch into a completely sincere defense of them and their relationship in response to like the laziest off-color paparazzi bait comment.

midoriya: where to begin honestly. he def gets weird vibes from them throughout the whole usual melodrama but 200% does not come to the right conclusions. when he finally gets the news broken to him (never gently) his brain breaks a little. it’s mainly the bakugou element bc kacchan is.. kacchan and like.. not necessarily fundamentally someone midoriya has ever imagined harboring human interest in another living person. also todoroki in a parallel way has always struck him as resoundingly disinterested in relationships mainly bc hes kind of above them. of course once he sets to theorising he can connect some dots to bakugous various jealousies over the years and also todorokis pretty open staring and wow he is not very good at connecting dots actually. anyways once he recovers from the shock i think theres a variety of ways in which he takes it bc honestly it is very weird that his best friend and his .. closest friend (?) who have always primarily interacted through or due to him now have this competing private relationship. regardless obv he is intensely supportive in like, the typical kind of overbearing midoriya way. i sometimes make it so its just one of those things that everyones cool with but also the details will always be something midoriya and bakugou do not want midoriya to know bc Awkward, vs other times i make him super cool w it to the extent that hes just overenthusiastic and todorokis all oh. sure. thanks :) while bakugou loses his shit. he does genuinely think they’re a really good fit upon reflexion, and since he’s best suited to knowing why he’s p much always correct in his assessments. its one of those things where each duo in the trio has the capacity of playing up the subject matter to the third party’s detriment, tho when todoroki is the third party he’s less embarrassed by bakudeku’s todobaku discourse and more enduring their various bizarre friendship rituals + the serious physical damage they usually precede.

also aizawa clocks them first and is like oh god please no this is going to take at least 5 years to implode and will age me 10 years in the process

More comic vs film thoughts: after the film I felt like Andy’s friendships were closest with Booker, then Joe. Nicky was her little brother and yeah she loved him too but ideologically and the like she just has more in common with Book and Joe. Booker shares her depression and exhaustion, she admits to him the two of them are living badly. Meanwhile Joe just touching her back after she says goodbye to Book and then backing her up at Copley’s at the end - it felt like the two of them are more passionate people and understand each other in a way Nicky with his capybara vibes does not get. And of course, Nile is new so that’s developing.

In the comic however I was struck by twice Andy is like ‘Nicky with me’ - she has him come meet Copley with her and during the mission Copley sends them on that’s how they split - and I wondered why. Does she trust him more than the others? Does she take him as her opposite? And in terms of friendships - in the comic I didn’t really see any Joe and Andy (I mean - understandable given plot changes) to get an idea of their friendship, and she’s bonding with Nile so much faster - the differences in the portrayals mean I think Comic!Nile is more vibing with Andy whereas I see film Film!Nile becoming BFFs with Nicky

Did you have any thoughts on different friendship alignments? Or is this just me? - AAnon

i did notice that! i love how in the comic nicky teases andy about not knowing how to use her phone and she just goes ‘shush, you’ and then earlier joe teases her about not taking a shower and shes like I Will End Your Life Joseph. I Will End You Right Here. Try Me.

the change of nicky going with andy -> book going with andy is interesting. if i had to hazard a guess as to why they changed it, it would be

1.) joe and nicky are kept together, establishing them even further as a matched set early in the movie (along with ‘joe and nicky?’ ‘at the hotel’)

2.) andy and book being kept together as much as possible stresses their relationship, which makes the betrayal even more meaningful. booker kind of being andy’s right-hand-man as compared to just The Tech Guy in the comic makes it Hurt More when he leads andy to copley methinks

tho the scene where nile tells andy that Wifi Doesnt Exist In Caves and then booker pops up and interrupts them? unmatched comedy

and i dunno, i guess andy taking nicky with her might have something to do with nicky being good at reading people? ‘we are usually a better judge of character’ and all that, tho on the other hand copley is booker’s guy, so it also makes sense to take booker.

and honestly i think all of the characters were given more development, not only in their personalities but relationships. in the comic, andy and nile are the only ones who we get a strong sense of their bond (plus joe and nicky in the van scene) but the movie develops on all of the relationships so much. nicky and booker’s baklava bet. joe and booker’s argument in the lab. like u mentioned, joe and andy’s little interactions-- i also rlly love the way andy greets nicky in the hotel scene

(the babie brother vibes r through the ROOF)

nicky in the comics is less, er, somfte, (but thats true of all of them) so i dunno, maybe movie andy sees nicky more as the endearing baby of the group (which is funny considering his age) while booker is the right hand man- and then in the comic, its sort of switched, except booker is less of a baby and more of the tech-savy younger cousin (again despite his age)

(and in both the comic and the movie, joe is the guy who tosses himself through windows, so in neither does andy really need him as a right hand man. shes got enough chaotic BDE of her own to deal with)

but yeah comic nile doesnt really get any time to vibe with nicky or joe; and i also kind of noticed how much she and nicky seem to... not bond, but theyre kind of put on the same wavelength a lot in the movie? they have quite a few parallels, whether purposeful or not, and nicky has a couple moments with nile that joe doesnt (bringing her to bed, helping booker pull her out of the car). he gets those more emotional moments with nile that joe doesnt

(and i dunno, i think thats part of the reason i kind of go ‘ehh’ at the fandom interpretation of joe being a boundless socialite and nicky being shy. i mean, joe and nicky get equal amounts of screentime with nile, but we never get a moment of ~emotional connection~ between nile and joe. all of their interactions are [nile asks a question] [joe answers question]. hes so much more emotionally open with the others.)

(and with the villains too! nicky talks to copley, merrick, and kozak, and even if he only speaks to them to freak them out, he does talk to all three. joe only delivers one(1) one-liner to merrick, and in the comic i think he even tries to tell nicky to stop heckling merrick in the lab. nicky’s just more social imo)

(im getting off topic)

but yes! a lot of it i think is just the movie adding more to the relationships & developing the characters, tho also i think the two different continuities have different sets of relationships between them
