#mdzs#jiang cheng#yanyan polls#jc apologism#does this warrant the apologism tag? idk#better meta-writers than i have spilled much ink on this subject#but why is jc still unmarried? this isnt the sort of setting where people marry for love#and even characters like wen chao and jin guangshan are married so jc what is going on???#king do your filial duty#also given the jiang sect's prominence and ties with the jin sect (via jin ling) ppl really are sleeping on some prime political real estat#like even if you hate his guts madame of lotus pier is a pretty sweet position to have#and if he really sucks too much shit you can find some way to incapacitate him or get rid of him. smh just poison him fr#also#you will notice that there is no “he's a misogynist” option#antis like to call jc a misogynist but tbh i dont see much evidence for that in the text#the only female characters jc interacts with at length in the text are his mom and his sister. and he's respectful of both of them#he also hears out sisi and bicao seriously instead of yeeting them. which would be more normal for a nobleman of his position to do#tbf this is also because there just arent that many female characters for jc to interact with. mxtx did not want to write women :(

The danganronpa writers really created a character who was the complete antithesis to hope’s peak and some major characters in later games only to pretty much play him for laughs and then kill him off early.
silly little man. representing the very thing the evil organization stood against and actively tried to prove wrong. and yet was still invited to be a part of their school. only to die. silly taka.
#excuse the amount of tags#i was looking at some sdr2 stuff#kamakura was described as ‘a genius among geniuses’ and nagito heavily criticized people who relied on effort#and wasn’t hope’s peak literally created to observe those#with natural talents???#I don’t think the writers knew they were gonna go in a god-given talent vs practice and effort thing in later installments#becuase if taka was a more prominent character in those installments. he literally THE GUY representing the hard work and effort argument#*he’s#AND THE FACT THAT HE WAS STILL CONSIDERED AN ULTIMATE DESPITE THAT#imagine a Taka who was introduced later down the line#I’m getting flashbacks to my ‘Taka was only invited to hope’s peak because of his grandfather’ theory#danganronpa#kiyotaka ishimaru#im once again trying to convince myself that taka could’ve played a bigger role in the grand scheme of the danganronpa franchise#ramblepuff

Finally, after months of work, I have completed it: the collection of all* character appearances in Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood!
edit: if you want a more detailed spreadsheet on the homunculi in particular, @vuullets has a collection of all homunculi appearances in the manga! you can find it here
Some notes on this spreadsheet:
there are spoilers. obviously. proceed with caution
timestamps indicate when a character first appears in a scene, not every time they appear. if the scene changes to one without that character, and then we return to that character in another scene, that's another timestamp for a new appearance
all timestamps are approximate, give or take a few seconds based on how quickly I could pause the show
only unique flashbacks count as an appearance. if the flashback is to something we've seen in a previous episode, that is not counted as a unique appearance, but if it provides something new that we haven't seen before, it counts!
I didn't include background easter egg appearances, like when you can see Mei in the background at a train station before she's introduced
I didn't actually do all characters. there are a lot of characters, and I am just one person. sorry if you're a big fan of minor members of the military, i just couldn't do it
since Greed is kind of a special case, he deserves a specific explanation: OG Greed and Greedling are not counted as separate characters, they're both just Greed. when Greed is in control of Ling's body, that counts as an appearance for Greed, and it's not an appearance for Ling unless he's in control. if they're both in a scene together (talking in the mindscape, for example, or switching control back and forth) they each get a timestamp for when they first appear/speak in a scene
feel free to use this as a reference! I made this as a useful tool for myself, and because I'm a nerd about data. if you are also a nerd about data, I tallied up some stats, which I'll put under the cut:
only six characters broke 30 episodes. the characters with the most appearances are Edward (60), Alphonse (58), Mustang (45), Hawkeye (42), Scar (40), and Winry (31).
next highest on the list are Alex Armstrong and Mei (tied for 29), King Bradley (28), Hohenheim (26), and Ling (25).
the homunculus in the most episodes is Wrath (28), and the one in the least is Lust (11)
as previously mentioned, Alex Armstrong and Mei are in the same number of episodes (29), as are Olivier Armstrong and Marcoh (24), and Buccaneer and Ross (18)
Hughes is in only 10 episodes, the same number as Grumman and Fu
Yoki is in a whopping 23 episodes. what the fuck
the chimera in the most episodes is Zampano (21), closely followed by Darius and Jerso (20), with Heinkel falling behind at 16. The Devil's Nest chimeras are only in 2 episodes, with the exception of Bido, who is in 3
#fma#fmab#fullmetal alchemist#I feel like I should make a specific tag for when I do. stuff like this.#I love. spreadsheets. I love data collection#anyway please enjoy! I've been working on this for six months!#sol collects data#<- I've decided that will be my tag#tallying up appearances made me mad. which is not a surprise to me#scar is in 40 episodes and yet the fandom bias completely sidelines him. I'm not mad. I feel normal about this. <- seething#I guess I'm also guilty of paying more attention to characters in fewer episodes considering greed is in only 18 episodes#BUT STILL. justice for my guy scar. he's an extremely prominent character and should be treated as such

this is probably a dumb time to post a poll but I was doing some revising and got curious 🤔
For the purpose of this poll assume the text definitely will have descriptions, so discounting anything where character appearances are purposely left vague or never really addressed.
#poll#tumblr poll#rom speaks#idk what to tag this for reach so reblogs would actually be appreciated#I try to fit a few prominent details in the introductory scenes for both characters in GC#but I don't get more in depth until chapters 3 and 4 when they actually MEET and like. perceive each other#but idk if that's too late 😬

Error Of My Ways: Chapter 2
Words: 2,994
Rated T for multiple instances of swearing and heavily implied death.
Read the first chapter before reading this if you haven't already!!! There's a ton of important context there that you will miss out on if you don't.
<- Previous / Next ->
Fic is below the cut.
I felt my heart stop.
Or…soul. Whatever. That didn't matter. Yet.
Turning around slowly, my shoulders raised, and my posture became defensive as I braced myself for the worst-case scenario.
Looking down, however, all I saw was a child with short, brown hair, a yellow shirt with a blue stripe, matching blue overalls, and brown boots. Their eyes were brown, but I could see a hint of red close to their pupils. Rosy cheeks decorated their face.
They looked like a Chara to me. It seemed to me like my portal abilities were a little off. Oh well.
My posture loosened up for the most part, still a little tense and awkward due to my lack of mental preparation when it came to talking to anybody but the voices.
“Oh, uh, hello there…” I smiled anxiously. “What are you doing here?”
“Exploring.”
“Nice,” I responded plainly, trying my best to keep my tone from shifting outside that of casual small talk.
“Hey, you look kind of like somebody I know! His name is Sans.”
“Oh, do I?” I tried my best to feign surprise, but the child I assumed was a Chara variant didn't seem to fall for it.
“Yeah! Here,” the child grabbed one of my sleeves with their smaller hand, “We should go meet him! I bet you'd like him!”
“Well, I don't know, I'm kind of busy–”
They tugged at my sleeve. “C'mon…please? You don't look busy.”
I glanced in a random direction, hoping the voices could help.
“Hey, who knows? It could be fun. Give it a try.”
“don't make the kid sad!!”
“You can leave at any time if something goes wrong.”
I sighed. “Alright, alright…take me away, then.”
I let out a yelp as the child began to run, my sleeve still in their hand. I felt myself almost fall on my face, yet somehow I caught myself. “Hey! Slow down!” The kid didn't seem to hear me. Either that, or they ignored me. As we approached civilization, I quickly used my free hand to pull my hood over my head. Various houses, buildings, and people almost seemed to fly past us as we rushed by.
Finally, we stopped. I quickly saw the building next to us as I regained my composure.
It looked to be about two stories high, with bricks painted a light purple. It wasn't quite the wooden cabin that would usually be found in Snowdin. Despite the place’s seemingly cold atmosphere at first glance, I quickly discovered that it was given a warm sense of life with various decorations scattered about the house, like the colorful Christmas lights that outlined where the edges of the roof were and a sign hung on the door with “Bone Is Where The Heart Is” carved into it.
My posture shifted as I easily became uneasy by the second. The child seemed to notice this, as they quickly spoke up about it.
“What's wrong?”
“I don't know about this…wouldn't they be…well…suspicious of a stranger suddenly being at their house? I don't think the more serious brother would be so welcoming…”
The child looked like they were about to ask a question, but quickly decided against it as a skeleton, about my height, opened the door.
He appeared to be a Swap variant, wearing a large blue cape with constellation patterns littering its deep blue coloration. The rest of his outfit, including a t-shirt, gloves, pants, and boots, were all blue as well, with yellow accents that matched the cape.
“HELLO, HUMAN!” His voice was loud and booming, which caused me to flinch. “DID YOU MAKE A NEW FRIEND?” His eyelights scanned my form, seemingly making sure I meant no harm.
Chara nodded vigorously, a smile spreading across their face. “Yeah! This is…” They looked at me. “What's your name?”
Oh.
I glanced away, a hint to the voices. “Um…”
“go with error for now. you never know if youll decide to change your mind about acting like yourself later.”
“...Error.”
The Swap variant reached out to me, offering a handshake. I accepted tentatively, giving him a nervous smile.
“IT'S NICE TO MEET YOU! I'M SANS. SAY, I'VE NEVER SEEN YOU AROUND.”
I mentally scrambled to think of an excuse.
“Oh, yeah, um, you see, I just…don't go out much. Not really the most social person.”
“I SEE…IN THAT CASE, I COULD BE YOUR SECOND FRIEND!”
“Oh! …Really? I mean, we just met, and–”
“I MEAN IT. YOU SEEM LONELY. I BELIEVE THAT EVERYONE DESERVES A FRIEND OR TWO!”
I let out a short chuckle as I grabbed my scarf again. “Thanks.”
Sans stepped to the side, holding the door open for us. He used his free arm to motion us inside. “COME ON IN! I'M ALMOST DONE WITH SOME TACOS. FORTUNATELY, I MADE EXTRA THIS TIME!”
Chara eagerly entered the skeleton brothers’ home. I tagged along right behind them, scanning the area out of curiosity. As I sat down on a chair in the dining room, I tapped my fingers on the table in front of me.
After a series of noises from plates colliding with each other harshly to what sounded like plastic packaging being torn to shreds, Sans finally strutted into the room, holding two plates with tacos atop them, one in each hand, and carefully set them down in a smooth motion that would make a waiter at a restaurant blush. “BONE-APPETIT!” He punned, eliciting another smile from me.
As Chara began to dig into the taco, I reached towards it but froze.
…The tongues.
I shook my head, grabbing the taco. Why would those be a problem? I doubted they would act on instinct. If anything, I could use them to mess with people…
That final thought made my smile return as I took a small bite out of the taco. It had burger patty meat, cheddar cheese, lettuce, green onions, and sour cream inside its crunchy tortilla shell.
I let out a satisfied noise as the ingredients and flavors melted in my mouth, seemingly dissolving inside it and giving me a refreshing wave of energy that felt similar to the stuff I used for the portal or the bones. Magical energy, I promptly dubbed it. I knew the name wasn't that original, but I didn't really care.
“PAPS!! THE TACOS ARE READY!! GET OUT OF YOUR ROOM!!” Somehow, Sans yelled even louder than usual.
I continued to eat the taco, relishing in its flavor. It was quite similar to the tacos my dad used to make for me a few years ago, minus the green onions and lettuce.
A muffled “coming” could be heard from another part of the house, followed by a collection of soft footsteps. A taller skeleton shuffled into the room, wearing an outfit with the same colors as his brother's. He wore a blue hoodie with yellow sleeves and a fluffy hood, navy-blue shorts, and a pair of matching sneakers.
His relaxed demeanor momentarily faltered as he gave me a brief suspicious glare while I stuffed my face with another bite of taco. I gave him a nervous wave before his gaze shifted to his brother.
“who's this?” He stuffed over to the free seat on the table, which was on the other side of mine.
“A NEW FRIEND! THE HUMAN BROUGHT HIM HERE TO MEET US. HE'S VERY NICE!”
Papyrus scanned me one last time before his expression softened. “if ya say so, bro.” He took a bite out of the taco that sat in front of him. Oddly, Sans hadn't eaten any tacos–did he even make one for himself? I wasn't sure.
I thanked Sans for the food as I (swallowed? dissolved? consumed?) the final bite of the taco. He gave me a thumbs up and a “YOU'RE WELCOME!” in response. Soon after, I got up, pushing the chair I sat on back into the table.
“I'm sorry, but I really need to go. I have some things I need to do.”
Sans nodded understandingly as Papyrus continued to eat his taco.
“Aww, already? There's so much stuff left for us to do, though!” Chara complained, a slight pout on their face.
“Yeah…Again, I'm sorry. If things go well, though, I should be back soon!” I looked at Sans. “Thanks for the hospitality, I appreciate it.” He nodded, his huge smile not shifting in the slightest.
“YOU'RE WELCOME! IT'S THE LEAST I CAN DO FOR A NEW FRIEND.”
I walked over to the door, saying my goodbyes as I turned the doorknob and left. After a few minutes of walking, I found an alleyway where I was able to create a portal back to the Anti-Void from.
I stretched my arms contentedly as I walked through.
“Ahh…that went better than I expected it to.”
“Yeah!”
“Wait A Second…”
“jupiter? theres somebody behind you.”
“What–”
I turned around to see Chara once more. Deja-vu.
“…SH–”
The voices cried out in outrage.
“–HOOT. Shoot! What are you doing here!? It's not safe for you here!” Chara looked around, puzzled.
“It isn't? It doesn't look like anything's here to hurt me.”
“But that's the point! Oh, God, I don't know what'll happen if you stay here for too long…We need to get you back home as soon as possible!”
I frantically opened another portal, immediately noticing that it was an Underfell. Closing that portal, I tried again, only to see an Underground caked in monster dust.
Many attempts after were met with failure. Only once did I see the starry skies of an Outertale, and it was a regular variant, not an Outerswap.
Finally, I sighed loudly, my posture becoming a resigned slouch.
“What were those places? Other planets?”
My anxiety spiked further. My voice wavered and distorted more than usual, shifting in pitch at random. “…Yeah, let's just say that. It's…easier.”
My voice seemed to catch Chara off guard. “Sheesh, are you okay? You…”
“I'm fine. Just voice cracks.” I felt my glitches intensify slightly as I crossed my arms. I turned around, giving Chara a nervous smile and a thumbs up. I could practically see their thought process on their expressive face as they seemed to shrug it off.
“Well, if you say so.” They still remained a little suspicious, but it seemed like they didn't want to pry. Thank God for that…
“Okay, um, hold on–”
“Focus.”
“I'm trying. Shut up.” I waved with one of my hands dismissively, as if the voice was a bug.
“Who are you talking to?”
I felt another spike of glitches, a little more severe than the last, wrack my body before coming up with something on the spot.
“Uh, myself.”
I tried my best to focus once more, attempting to block out the voices until I could finally portal to the right AU. I opened another portal.
However…
“Chocolate?”
Wait, really?
I squinted.
Yup.
“Chocolate!?” Chara ran up to the portal. I stretched out my arm, a motion to stop them from going further.
“LOL???? THEY SOUND LIKE THE CHOCOLATE GUY FROM SPONGEBOB???”
…Oh my God. They did.
Wait, they could hear–
“Hey! We have to go there!”
“Well, I don't know–”
“C'mon! It's chocolate! I know it is! Who doesn't like chocolate!?”
I sigh. For whatever reason, chocolate sounded very good at that moment.
“Well, you got me there. Just make sure to be quiet, and stay hidden. Who knows what could be on the other side?”
They nodded vigorously, running through the portal. This place appeared to be a variant of the woods near Snowdin, made of chocolate. The ‘snow’ was made of tiny white chocolate pieces, the bark of trees was made of dark chocolate, the ground made of…perhaps cookie crumble..? Either way, this place looked delicious. Chara immediately started chowing down on a tree.
“huh never heard of this au before”
“me neither,” I mumbled, making sure I was quiet enough so Chara couldn't hear me as I scooped up a handful of ‘snow’, “but i'm not opposed to it…i explode if i don't have dessert after a meal, anyway.”
“Explode!?”
“r u ok, jupiter???”
“…metaphorically.” I specified before letting out a small, satisfied noise while I shoved some of the false snow into my mouth. “Hmm. This tastes better than I thought it would.”
I wondered if this meant a fragment of Error was still…there. Likely not, I concluded, as it could easily be a change in taste buds. An odd thought, indeed, but one I'd have to get used to along with everything else.
“I know, right!?” Chara yelled whilst chewing on bark. “This place is paradise…” They took another bite of the bark they tore off.
I wasn't sure how much time went by as Chara and I stuffed our faces with candy. The voices murmured to themselves as we did so, but I was too focused on how good everything tasted to listen to them. If I had spit, I was sure my mouth would be watering. The flavor was almost enchanting; a perfect balance of sweetness, bitterness, richness, and salt.
Suddenly, I heard an odd, melodic whistling noise. I could see Chara turn their head to stare at it at the same time I did. The sound of the voices was muffled, but they seemed panicked.
Was it a person making that noise? My vision of the whistling object was almost a strange blur, as if I didn't have my glasses on. I knew I did, however, when I reached up to feel them.
The whistling object looked…appetizing. Was it alive?
“JUPITER.”
I supposed I'd have to find out.
“JUPITER!!! SNAP OUT OF IT!!!”
“You need to leave right now, this place is dangerous.”
“open a portal below you before you two eat a person!”
Shit!
I leaped at Chara before quickly opening a portal below us. I had no time to think of a specific place to go to before we went through, landing in snow.
Real snow this time, thank God.
I had my arms wrapped around the child. Their pupils, which looked a little too dilated moments ago, returned to their regular size. I quickly let go of them, getting up and surveying our surroundings. They simply stayed on the ground, disoriented.
“...What was that.” I didn't know how to process what just happened. The glitches made themselves known once more.
“there was an enchantment of some sort on the candy. i think. idk.”
“Whatever It Was, It Seemed To Do Something Strange To You!”
“i'm glad you got out of there. ty, loud voice!”
“YOU'RE WELCOME!!!!!!”
“Bro you almost ate somebody”
The sound of the so-called ‘loud voice’ made me flinch. Well, it wasn't like the other voices were wrong…
Wait, hold on, I was getting distracted!
“Wait, WHAT!?” Ohhh, shit. Fuck. A person!?
“yea…”
“Shush! Don't attract attention! If even we had no clue what AU that was, then who knows what else could be out there!?”
Oh.
I heard a noise, followed by a groan. Chara was waking up. I didn't even know they were unconscious in the first place?
“Ow…” They held a hand to their forehead as they sat up.
“Let's…not do that again. Where are we, anyway?”
“It looks like a Fell AU”
“yup, red sky in snowdin.”
I turned around, the cold breeze sending a shiver up my spine as I came to a realization.
It's empty.
Abandoned. Particles of dust and snowflakes were almost indistinguishable from one another. Bones impaled various structures around the area.
Footsteps in the distance. I turned around.
A human child, covered in dust with a knife in hand.
I looked back at Chara. They looked frozen in fear, like a deer in headlights. They knew what the dust meant.
The footsteps, suddenly, became faster.
Faster.
I didn't waste any more time.
Once more, I ran to Chara, opening another portal and dragging them through it with me.
I tripped on my own foot. Right before the portal shut, I heard something fly right by where my head just was. It landed on the floor of the Anti-Void with a clatter.
Oh. We're back. Finally. Took me long enough. I rolled over onto my back before sitting up, eye sockets wide.
Chara stared at me in shock. Their expression alone told me everything I needed to know.
“I'm…so, so sorry! I didn't want to…put you in danger like that.” I hoped they would understand what I said, as my voice shook and stuttered at an almost-constant rate. They seemed to get the gist of it, nodding understandingly.
“It's okay! I…think I'm ready to go home. Are all other worlds that scary?”
“No, no…” I opened another portal, “We just got…unlucky, that's all.” The AU on the other side looked like Chara’s original home, but I couldn't know for sure yet. “Stay here, alright? I'll scout ahead and see if this is your world or not.” They nodded wordlessly as I stepped through the portal, finding myself back in the alleyway. A decently-sized group of monsters wandered about, calling Chara's name. Seemed like it was.
I let Chara follow me through the portal. They held out their hand, offering for me to hold it. I accepted their offer, wondering if they did so to comfort the both of us. Maybe, maybe not.
As we got to the end of the alleyway, I stopped.
“Are we still friends?”
They nodded, eliciting a small smile from me. “I know you didn't mean it. You said earlier that you're still learning.”
“Thank you. Go on ahead. I'll see you later. I gotta catch a break at home.”
They let go of my hand, walking away. They looked back at me and waved goodbye. I responded in kind, then went back into the Anti-Void. As soon as the portal closed, I let out a huge sigh.
What a long day, if it even was a full one. Time in the Multiverse was probably very strange.
“where are we headed next?”

Completely self indulgent post but here's one of the post-canon scenarios I have in my head for G Gundam.
Maybe skip this post if you don't like dark themes. Not all of what I've outlined is dark (most of it isn't), but I do cross the line past what appears in the show in regards to DG cells and abduction.
The shuffles all get roped into restoration projects on Earth between the 13th and 14th gundam fights, partially to have something to do alongside their training, partially out of inspiration by the common points of the Kasshus' and Master Asia's goals, and partially because netting their countries some decent publicity is likely to earn them favors during the Gundam Fight's off-years.
Sai is contacted by Kyral about an effort to clear out the infamous buildup of trash and cadavers on Everest; he wants Sai to leverage Neo China's help as something of a reparation kind of deal and Sai goes sure why not.
Sai recruits Argo because Bolt Gundam is built to withstand the cold, and he thinks Argo and Nastasha could help reverse engineer that quality to enable the use of their Gundams as both heavy work equipment and protection from the harsh environmental conditions that normally prevent this kind of operation.
George gets involved because someone he knows has a distant relative who died on the mountain a century ago, and they wanted him to check in with the forensics team on the project. This detail is important because eventually it becomes clear that there is a mystery to solve (that I myself haven't figured out all the details of yet but broadly know the setup and conclusion); DG-infected people are disappearing and not being investigated due to stigma. Our heroes are naturally going to be pissed about this, and will need an "in" with the field if they want to do anything about it.
First massively self-indulgent element: The forensics/body identification team inexplicably includes the real-world author Kathy Reichs, who somehow exists in this universe, and there's a little side bit about her having written a Bones book right before the 12th fight that featured a cooked cadaver found inside a gundam after entry into the Earth's atmosphere. There are a lot of weird coincidences in the book that parallel the DG incident, which creeps everyone out, but the similarities are merely born of the writer threading the needle of being believable and interesting in a way that became very true to life.
What does become relevant is when the Shuffles eventually meet up, she's able to explain the implications of a bunch of weird shit the fighters discovered (also Marie Louise read her book, and one of the in-universe liberties Reichs took writing about the gundams' black boxes that she explains in the afterword leads to ML realizing something important; that Neo Germany does not have its gundam's remains.)
While the Everest project is happening, Domon, Chibodee, and Allenby all want to continue their training somewhere on Earth, and receive a proposal from (an OC of mine who is) a historic preservationist (and an acquaintance of Allenby's): she has acquired the grounds of an abandoned castle in Europe* after submitting a plan to restore it, and needs to hire people to help with the labor.
*the castle is probably somewhere in Germany because I also want this pitch to have drama over Schwarz (pre-13th fight), Schwarz (Kyoji), and Schwarz (the next guy who was supposed to inherit the mask when the older ninja retired). Also Germany is fucking pretty.
In exchange for the help of the three gundam fighters, they and Rain get paid, plus room and board anywhere on the grounds, plus full access to the grounds and miles of sparsely-inhabited countryside for training purposes, and the privacy and ability to practice with their gundams that comes with being in the middle of fucking nowhere. Rain sets herself up to work a clinic in the next town over as well as practicing pro re nata wilderness medicine (I'm convinced every medic supporting the gundam fight would need to be able to do this.)
The group involved in the Castle project sticks around for a time, makes some good progress, and engage in occasional Shenanigans that come up when you put a bunch of weirdos in a Situation.
They aren't in town a lot save for Rain, but when they are they eventually start to pick up on gossip and news about the Mysterious Disappearances correlated with DG cell infection (as well as details that turn out to be important later). Eventually Rain brings this to Domon and Chibodees' attention and they decide that, yeah, this is tied to the DG, this is their problem, they should convene with the rest of the Shuffle Alliance about it.
Also of course Schwarz is involved because I'm the one writing this; the culprits' DG-tissue harvesting operation relies on having him captured and helpless, using cells from his body to "update" other victims' DG infections to a less aggressive strain. One thing I haven't decided is whether I want a reinstantiated Wong to head this shit, or make up my own morally bankrupt opportunistic asshole looking to twist the DG to their own benefits. I also need to decide where on the planet the center of all this insanity is, and it needs to be a place that isn't going to have any unfortunate implications (because that's a genuine risk with dark story elements)
... That's about as much as I have that is thought-out enough for me to explain. I return to thinking about this scenario a lot because it puts most of the characters way out of their element (and has a bunch of details that appeal to me specifically), and it kind of evolved into an incomplete plot outline that I don't currently have any plans to flesh out.
I think it's an interesting enough direction to go, because it follows through with a lot of the themes present in G, but takes advantage of the genre shift to avoid DBZ-crazy power scaling and adjusts the conflict more to a matter of where the main characters' prowess is most effective (Both in and out of the gundams. I'm assuming there are a ton of guys similar to Michelo's gang that just need fighting interspersed with everything else I described. In fact, kicking Some Group of Douchebags out of their protection racket is probably how team Castle even gets ahold of evidence related to missing persons.)

ALSO adding on to my last post I have seen a bunch of people around all social media say things about the state of shoujo anime in recent years all along the lines of saying there are less shoujo anime bc women's perspectives and stories are viewed as less profitable than shounen and that's probably not untrue in terms of executive's reasoning but also every time there is a shoujo anime made literally all I ever see people talk about are the guy romantic partners and if anyone says anything about liking the woman main character it's always through the filter of saying things like aww the guy loves her so much and it's like. The girls on the shows aren't talking to each other about anything but men the audience isn't talking about anything but men etc. You want women's perspectives. But the only perspective you want is to only keep talking about liking men.
#and i guess i should add the qualifier here that i am talking about shoujo romance bc it is a really broad category#and not saying shonen romances are perfect even though again shonen is a really broad qualifier and a lot of shonen romances are written...#...by women. but there are a lot of romances in shonen where the girl characters are THE focus and they all get a bad reputation for...#...~the male gaze~ and um at some points you guys are just using that to never talk about a woman ever more than you care about how men...#...view women per se. someone will get me.#stuff like the apothecary diaries i saw a fair amount of people really lovr maomao and i was surprised by how much attention a female...#...character was getting in the broadest anime circles but also 90% of posts about her in the tag here at least are through the filter of..#...talking about how much jinshi loves her or for every sentence i see about maomao there are still ten about the guy#and the romance isn't even the most prominent factor in that story from what the anime has shown of it#like. it's both frustrating that the mass public only wants to talk about really specific kinds of girls or they go completely out of...#...their way to never talk about girls under the guise of caring about girls's stories?

Please don’t tag Jyn/Cassian fics with the Andor (TV) AO3 tag, let the tag for works about the show’s characters and relationships. Thank you
Hi! I only tag Andor when there are Andor characters from the show featuring in the story. I do this because not every Rebelcaptain fan wants to engage with Andor-related content and I don't want to mislead them. And Andor characters DO show up so I'm not sure what's the problem. It's essentially a crossover. If you don't want to see Rebelcaptain content, it's very easy to filter out the ship, but I don't feel like I'm tagging things wrong and I won't be changing it.
#and i know the lawyers au had andor characters only briefly but syril plays a more prominent role in pt2#which is why it's tagged#the others all have andor characters show up too#i won't be tagging andor if there's no one from the show#but i won't be removing it when there IS#anonymous#replies

i miss kenjaku as a villain
#it’s not even that i dislike sukuna#i just like when jjk has multiple good villains#it gets boring when knowing it JUST focuses on sukuna#that’s. a bit of an exaggeration I still like and expected him as the final villain#but I loved the chaos of jjk when there were multiple prominent antagonists in shibuya and the culling games colonies#watching how the villains interact and how they have to work around the others plans#adds mystery and fun !#i think I’ll like this more if sukunas backstory or connection to Yuuji etc gets explored#currently yuuji is the most interesting character in this fight imo#and love that for him but want the same for sukuna#jjk spoilers#kenjaku#lmao all these tags are just about sukuna#i also miss kenjaku as an entertaining villain and for the family drama#but hey maybe sukuna and yuuji are related#might delete

Love when I go through a tag for one of my favourite characters and it ends up just being an extensive block list :/
#Wyll Ravengard#Ada Wong#Mia Winters#I promise I'm not spam tagging. this post is specifically about them.#There's plenty more but those are the most prominent examples#I wonder what these characters have in common that the fandoms are so utterly brain dead when it comes to them...#Surely it's not- no it couldn't possibly be-#resident evil#Bg3#Fandom

breaking my silence I THINK DOORS IS BETTER THAN PRESSURE......!
#is there recency bias. most likely. is there bias because i still think how the pressure team handled accessibility was incredibly bunk. Yes#and do i care NO!#bitches like pressure because of the damn fish well GUESS WHAT ULTRAKILL IS 25 DOLLARS REGULAR PRICE ON STEAM#AND THE DEV SUPPORTS PIRACY#and iirc has a laundry list of accessibility features and options#and the guy who voices the fish voices a prominent character in ultrakill And its just a better game overall#+ ive been playing floor 2 in door for a few hours (on and off) and it improves a LOT on the gameplay of floor 1#and and and iiiii LIKE the monster designs in doors.........!!!!#also kind of sick of seeing the damn fish in the roblox doors tag SHOO! SHOO!#rant over. almosts#i know its not a competition and both games play off each other a lot Which is great i think im just sick of the damn fish#hes cutes for sure but was it also cute when the devs + mods got incredibly short with people rightfully criticizing how they were going#about accessibility features in the game?#waggling my finger. nuh uh#skeletalk#theres more but i have 10 million tags on this already
