@arklayraven I know you don't need them for icon batches rn lol, but~... since i'd still like to share them, here's some textless/similar art edits i've done for the TG bois~💖

i also have a few (including some from above) posted over on this blog of mine as well~, under the linked tag-- though they are mixed in with manga cap posts, and some colorings of said caps lol-- so finding any not shared in this post might take a little digging X'D

For the ask game!

Furuta ♥️ — 2, 7, 14, 15

2. Give us a thought about the series you would like an excuse to share.

I have Opinions of Furuta and his psychology and I very deeply love his character and discussing my own interpretations of him. Something I said in my server awhile ago:

Moving on, none of that excuses his actions or makes him a "poor little baby" in my mind, but it provides what feels like a plausible explanation to me. I think his relationship with Rize was meant to demonstrate just how fucked the Washuu are and what attitudes can be instilled in them at a young age.

Furuta is the most extreme example of it and I only think he descended so far into psychosis because unlike Arima or Hairu, he was pushed to the sidelines and ignored and forgotten entirely by the Washuu. No one paid him any mind or acknowledged his existence or deemed him at all important other than Rize did as children—and even she ended up abandoning him because she wanted to be her own person and let go of childish fantasies when she learned what her "purpose" was.

I also like to think Furuta is queer in some way even though there isn't much compelling evidence suggesting it. He talks to Eto in a very objectifying, demeaning way that, in my opinion, comes off as him trying to convince himself he's attracted to women rather than the audience. The Washuu also have very strict ideas of masculinity and heteronormativity that I'm sure were instilled in Furuta and, if he had feelings that suggested otherwise, they likely would have manifested into internalized homophobia or transphobia—further driving his obsessive attachment to Rize as "proof" he likes women.

7. Favorite piece of TG fan content you’ve seen recently?

I haven't made much content of Furuta in awhile ! But I really like this edit I made of him.

14. Song you associate with (character/ship)

I have a playlist for Furuta here! But my favorite songs I associate with him are:

Creep // Radiohead

Honey I'm Home // Ghost and Pals

Breezeblocks // Alt-J

Runs in the Family // Amanda Palmer

Monster // Lady Gaga

15. Favorite/one of your favorite manga panels.

002 for utaren and/or 003 for adam?

Ooh thank you hehe 🌹❤

002 | Send me a ship and I will tell you: Utaren edition

When I started shipping them:

Back when I first read the manga, when I reached chapters 111 to 113. Man, I was hooked. Their young selves did something irreversible to me lmao, and then Uta hit me with the old tattoo meaning and I was Gone.

It was in 2014, iirc. I started TG when it was over but before :re was published (by the time i was finished, :re was 7 chapters in, very precisely xD i remember bc it's the chapter Nishiki calls Haise Kaneki)

My thoughts:

I've talked about this extensively in the past but yeah their friendship is insanely important to me. The way they go on about "you're my friend" it makes me bonkers. They are the definition of what relationships should be, in my book. Friendship first and foremost and above all, for better or worse. They are The QPP™. Absolutely legendary. First ship to make me so gone. I often say Percabeth was my first OTP but nothing consumed me quite like Utaren did before they did. They're my OTQP? I guess? xD

What makes me happy about them:

Yeah, their friendship. How ride or die they are about each other. Able to rip each other to shreds but will also risk their lives to save the other. How accepting Renji is of Uta's clownship (before it threatens Touka lmao). The unconditional love. The brutality of it.

What makes me sad about them:

"Nec possum tecum uiuere nec sine te". doesn't make me sad per se but ouch anyway. The abandonment Uta felt when Renji left. The intricate knowledge Uta has that he can't be by his side but they can't be apart either - to the point of getting it tattooed. On his fucking neck.

Help.

Things done in fanfic that annoys me:

Making it sexual. I don't read much TG fanfics these days (or at least not new ones. i reread my favs instead) so idk what's the trend regarding them but back then I never liked them smut. Feels unnatural.

Also once I read a fic in which one said "ily" to the other (they were in a relationship already) and the other got up and left and they broke up??? What's up with that. I genuinely don't get why saying ily to your boyfriend would make him leave?? isn't that why you're dating?? Anyway.

Things I look for in fanfic:

4th ward era. "graphic depiction of violence" is always welcome.

My favorite Them Fic

My wishlist:

They're already perfect, thank you.

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other:

No one tbh. They're both too aro for that.

My happily ever after for them:

I think what we got in canon is the best that could have been for them. It's a half return to what they used to be..

003 | Give me a character & I will tell you: ADAM edition

How I feel about this character:

I feel too many things in too much quantity. I feel love, I feel grief, I feel protectiveness, I feel something sink in my stomach and something lift me in the sky. He is my most beloved, my husband, the light of my days. He makes me smile, he makes me oh so happy and he's one of the reasons I cry at night. He is everything to me.

Any/all the people I ship romantically with this character:

Langa, of course. Kiriko, also and also of course. Both in the EDEN and Adakiri/LoveMantis way and in the EDENMantis way uwu

My favorite non-romantic relationship for this character:

With Tadashi, kink dom/sub relationship, with deep deep devotion on Tadashi's side and slowly recovering trust and friendship.

My unpopular opinion about this character:

Depends on unpopular where. If it's in the entire western sk8 fandom, the unpopular opinion would be ADAM is absolutely amazing both character-wise and person-wise. He's the best and he deserves so much love.

If we're talking ADAM fandom, it would be that He Is Not A Slut. He is the very opposite of that.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon:

I wish Cherry would apologize to him. I wish he'd managed to kill Reki. I wish we would know more of his past, especially regarding Kiriko. That's three things. Who cares.

Favorite friendship for this character:

With Tadashi, as kids. With Joe and Cherry, as teens. With Langa (and with Kiriko in my dreams), as adults.

My crossover ship:

With Matsuri (TG). I don't exactly ship it and it wouldn't work anyway because they're both doms but it's fun thinking about them meeting and becoming friends.

The Ask Game

[iheihairu]

I love how many systems have alters from Tokyo Ghoul lmao (at least in our circles). We have Hinami Fueguchi, Sen Takatsuki (Eto's pen name), and Rei (Juuzou's birthname). We also know a system who has a Haise Sasaki, and some form of Kaneki.

And then there's y'all!

Speaking of, may i ask how the Kens differ? Like are they different forms of Kaneki? How do they differ from source in appearance or personality or whatever y'all would like to share?

We also have Tooru! He's my bestiepop!! I am saying hello to all of your TG fictives!!! I havent met many others, so it's been a pleasant surprise to get a couple in my inbox!

This again got long so! Under the cut with you!

They are! All different forms of Kaneki I mean!

This is how they look in our Simply Plural! Each one represents a time in his arc, so to speak. They do all have freckles, but otherwise they look very similar to their canonical counterparts. Of course, you can see Haise's "real" name here. He's a fictive of Kazuma from Noragami, but as I previously described, Haise is a huge ID for him!

I went into it a little in that longass post, but Kazuma/Haise is the Sensible one. The one that makes me eat or drink and nags me to take care of myself. The one that fusses and does our taxes and makes phone calls. You may be shocked to find he's dry humored and kinda serious! He has "tonal issues" he says, which is both true and a bit of an in-joke. While playful at times, he has a bad habit of talking politics and Me. We're both fictives from the same source - I won't get into it but his devotion is unwavering. He's often teased for having "one subject: Vana." He's also a huge perv :/ and believe it or not he's our biggest binge eater! He likes YA novels, dark romance, and nonfiction political books.

Kaneki is a lil brat, and is noticeably younger in how he acts. He's got that teenage disconnect to the things around him. He's also anxious and selectively mute though, and if he's not with me or in good company, the bratty melts away to shy, quiet, softspokenness. He likes thrillers, romance, and gore-horror manga like Junji Ito. He also has poor depth perception! And! Braces!

Ken is a mediator. He's very down to business and serious. It doesn't mean he's not lighthearted or cheerful, his brain is just Workin! He paces around a lot while he talks. He does not have his favorite books listed.

King is kind of goofy. He's relieved he's "not like the others" 💀 He's an ANP while most of the others are EPs and he takes that win for what it is. I've caught him in his pajamas before and they were these boujee silk, matching white pjs with a K on the breast?? I was like??? Ok goober HAHA! He likes action, mystery, and nonfiction books.

Kuu is extremely anxious and stressed. He often has nausea and cries when he fronts. He has a tendency to think towards self harm, but restrains himself because it's "my" body, not his, and he would hate to hurt "me." He struggles to eat. He likes fairytales and "how to" books. Biographies, books describing places and history, things like that.

Reaper is the stern and aloof one. Kind of mean. Blunt, dry, but with a sense of humor. Very monotone. Is Bossy but Bigger. His patience is short and he has no problems telling you. He was voted "most likely to fuck" in the Kenference and has worn that badge with pride. His blog is Wild. He likes horror/mystery books. Oh he's also built like a barn and for WHAT

Shiro is quiet, cold, and a bit snappy. He's least likely to interact, unless it's to complain (💀) he also struggles the most with craving flesh. We get him red meat and cook it some so he's safe and can kind of curb the hunger Sorta. He likes extreme gore and horror books.

EDIT : We also have The Kids. They stick together most times even if they get snappy with each other. They fight for attention but I can't have one without the other. They're a package deal, if only because neither wants the other to get more than him.

If you'd like to check out the ones with blogs, they're: @coffee-haze @specialclass and @halfmutehalfghoul @darakushita . 240 has one too but there's only one post and I think he's gonna use it as a diary.

Tomorrow I'm going to wake up, go to work, come home, wait for my laptop to start up after updating, and read the final chapter of Dungeon Meshi. Like, wow. What a trip it's been. Think it was back in 2018 I started reading this, but due to being a monthly series it feels like some of the arcs were really recent. Like the fight against Thistle was two years ago, What!? And the chapter I took my background from was in December of 2019. Insane. I mean, sure the last five chapters have been the epilogue to flesh out the ending after Laios fulfilled his destiny and ate the final boss, so it's not like I didn't know this was coming. And even then, I made a prediction a couple of years ago about how much longer the series had left. This is going to be my last trip to the /tg/ board to see the thread for the new chapter, though admittedly those were often locked by the time I got there, because this series was so good even the guys who are all about D&D were supporting it and going nuts over the world-building of the series. I mean, people were pointing out stuff from Marcille's design to argue she was a half-elf years before she was revealed as one, or you get the moments like when the hole in Senshi's backstory (that he's been in the dungeon for 10 years when it was only discovered 6 years ago) are intentional foreshadowing.

I'm… I don't think I've ever experienced a manga ending like this. With me, so many where the manga was axed, or translators dropped the series, or the series was already or mostly complete when I started it or, in the case of Naruto, I was simply waiting for the ending after it looked like things were wrapping up only for Kishi to give us a long, boring, bullshitty, fodder for anime filler war arc that drained whatever good will I still had for the series. This has been a series I've followed for years, loving it every step of the way, and it's ending on such a high note that it all feels like it was a journey I myself was on. I don't think I'll ever experience a manga like this again.

And to think, it all started when I saw joking edits about how elves are a proud and noble race, they are not lewd.

Uh, I wrote too much to put in the tags. Putting them directly here.

I heard ishida is interested in an anime for chojin x but thats about it I think.

Anyway I dont personally think it would be all bad if tg got a remake. I dont know if it is any consolation but I am in the chainsaw man fandom for both the manga and anime, saw the anime episodes and discussion around it weekly as they came out. It is possible to avoid bad takes because for me the experience ended up being fantastic. Mostly because I only use tumblr tho I think. I am not very social so that was enough for me.

Csm has its own atrocious takes appear everytime a new chapter comes out but the worst ones are reserved for popular platforms like youtube and twitter. We can have peace on the old deserted tumblr like it is for csm. But yeah the rest of the internet would be insufferable.

The same things are true for the topic of impossible expectations for a remake I think. We can have at least one space where we wont see bullshit.

I dont think an anime adaptation is necessary either. I never push for an adaptation but if it does happen then it is like a "holy shit! Two cakes!" situation. I never wanted one for csm but it ended up being very exciting in the end for me.

Not because the anime was absolutely perfect or anything; but the surge of new fans and their contributions, the openings and endings, the anime staff's own additions and takes on scenes and then the fans' own opinions and comparisons, theories, meta takes, fanart and fanfics, edits, animatics and animations, all the fandom creativity you can think of absolutely thrives whenever people collectively get something new to think about. And thats usually what an adaptation does. Even if it ends up being a bad adaptation it will open discussion. And discussion on the manga will open too in return. I mean, the tg anime wasnt good, but it is still interesting to think about isnt it? This is what I love about getting to follow a series every week.

I may be too optimistic because of my most recent good experience but yeah. If a remake does end up happening in the end despite your wish, I hope reading this will ease your worries at least a bit.

Everyone’s talking abt how great it would be if tg got a remake and it’s like. Okay but this fandom was dreadful when it was big? The current fandom barely has media literacy or reading comprehension as it stands, people will always be toxic and suddenly we’ll have all the cishet men coming back to give the world’s worst takes.

Being a Shuu fan in those times? Dire. Let me tell you. The bullying was insane, the mischaracterisation of the initial popular fandom was so rampant that it still reigns now. I honestly think if TG ever gets popular again I might leave the internet. I don’t like the state of the internet right now, it’s heinous, frankly, and in fandom especially. The TG fandom getting popular again would be a disaster.

This isn’t even mentioning whether or not a ‘good’ remake is possible. People now speak of a remake like it’s this mythically perfect thing - if only X studio would make it, then… - people are in love with the idea of a remake. So anything that is made has a chance of not meeting the impossible expectations set by it. Does TG even need to be an anime? Personally I prefer it as a manga - yes I like the anime and I do find the fight scenes in TG don’t read well, but I like it as a manga. I’d much prefer Choujin X or something new be made into anime.
