Opinion in anime

luv it!! i prefer manga tbh, but my first anime was inuyasha on adult swim when i was a kid. the first anime i really fixated on was naruto tho, and that was sorta my staple for years. it's sort of a core part of my soul... or whatever.

overall some of my favorite animes are neon genesis evangelion, FLCL, dress up darling, k-on, ouran high school host club, and i'm slowly watching fruits basket with my bf. of course ghibli was also some of my first introductions to the style, spirited away being my favorite~

i like watching anime adaptions of manga once i've read them! i was a fan of chainsaw man manga part 1 while it was still dropping, so i was super excited for the anime, and super happy with how it turned out!! i just finished mahou sjoujo site, and i wanna watch that anime but... looks like ass

Apart from show canon, at which point did u think it was too late for lena's immediate forgiveness to kara's identity reveal

oh boy. anon, here is where i come clean about my shoddy recollection of canon’s chronology. i’ve done so many fragmented rewatches and skipping back and forth—there’s a reason i rarely dabble with canon-adjacent stuff! and that even when i do, i create worlds where Lena figures it out herself! 

second road bump to answering this question is that i have a LOT of feelings about how things played out on the show, and most of them are incongruent with the tone of sgcw. i understand their narrative reasons for keeping the secret from Lena for so long! but the execution is so, so terrible! ignoring large swathes of canon and replacing them with my own is the only way i’m able to enjoy at least the last tiny handful of seasons!

here is where i spend an hour procrastinating from my WIPs, while not successfully answering your question at all:

to be perfectly clear: i adore most parts of canon Kara. and i think i may be hard on her in ways i wouldn't be if i didn’t relate to her so much. i think her backstory is extremely compelling and i admire her ability to hold on to her kindness and hope and joy even after losing everything that was important to her, even when she’s tired and lonely and mad. 

BUT. a healthy Lena—one who we were made to believe was finally freeing herself from Lex and Lillian, rising above the coping mechanisms she’d developed as an unwanted and emotionally neglected child? i don’t think that Lena would (should?) have forgiven canon Kara at all.

after the rift, canon Kara flitted between telling Lena she’d lied to her ‘to protect you’ to ‘one person who sees me only as Kara’ to ‘your last name’ to ‘didn’t want to lose you’ until she literally told Lena she was on her own, and she’d treat her like any other villain until Lena repented, even rejecting her apology at first, as if Kara’s own decisions had played no part in Lena’s downward spiral at all.

the Kara Lena would have forgiven is the much more cohesive and coherent Kara brought to us by our talented fix-it writers: a Kara who is willing to let herself be vulnerable and to second-guess her motivations, one who is able to put together a proper apology and actually listen to Lena's own. 

but, okay, lets table all of that. this is me trying really, really hard to entertain canon:

Kara and Lena’s friendship became painfully lopsided by season 3. i think that was, if i recall correctly, when the super-friends decided to trust Lena enough to regularly ask her for assistance—but not enough to let her be part of their in-group; it’s where they left Lena in the dark about the fact that her best friend had come close to plunging to her death right in front of Lena's eyes, and was actively still fighting for her life; where they tricked Lena into having an extremely personal conversation with J’onn, while he was wearing Kara’s features, only to make belly-laughing fun of her about it later. 

and even then, honestly, it might already have been too late. what about the aftermath of Jack’s death? was that season 2? Jack was Lena’s ex-everything, someone who genuinely loved her, who saw her through the fallout of Lex’s arrest. he was one of her last remaining friends, and Lena pressed the button to let him die in order to save Supergirl’s life. how would Lena knowing that Kara went through that with her, knowing Lena had chosen to save the life of her favorite person in addition to National City’s hero, have changed the way she felt about that horrible situation? that’s where that extremely wonderful heart-to-heart on the L-Corp couch happened, right? Kara swore she’d always be Lena’s friend—while keeping silent about the fact that she was there when Jack drew his last breath, that she had witnessed their final moments.

so—i really can’t tell you anon, i’m so sorry. the 100th episode already fabricated reasons why Kara couldn’t possibly come clean to Lena back when she made the conscious decision to be her friend (and not in a ‘keep your enemies close’ kind of way!), and i’m beginning to think that was the only moment Kara could have told Lena that would have kept her conscience completely clear. Kara should have made it part of her decision—either she was going to be Lena’s friend and give her the same trust Lena was giving her, or she would keep things professional, and keep her identity a secret from her. 

Kara tried to do both, and if i really think about it, i don’t believe that was ever fair.

Hi, in the Dogday storyline, there was a mention in like a lion, out like a lamb where there was mention of an assassination attempt and coup, is that something you have written that can be read, or is that something more implied and not in writing. I am so enamored that I need to read more, please.

you're giving me too much credit considering "in like a lion, out like a lamb" was essentially me word vomiting because i needed to get the thoughts out. i wrote it thinking i'd never publish it and therefore the coup would not be a continuity issue because in my mind i knew what the hell i was talking about.

yes, i do have a full scene for the assassination attempt and it's more than a little insane. no, i have not written anything for it yet whoops

[atenceladusiaawfytbwb]

Saw one of the mean girl group (four or five big writers) anyway, day absolute ruined, I though -I was sure- I had them all blocked.

(They write a lot of basic white(gringo) dark fanfic, so maybe I'm just taking it the bad way. But I genuinely think they mean bitches, doing exactly the popular girls proces, where something is omg so funny heheha so crazy😜 until is done by someone out of their group (or simply on a bad day), then suddenly is "Can't you take this seriously 😠? You are disrespecting me as a person/writer, blocked💅"

What am i saying? I don't dislike them, I fucking hate them.

[mars-ipan]

Ahoy! I apologize for calling Nagito Komeeda a "nasty rat". That was pretty misogynist of me.

love the continued misspelling of his name

"Tarn Anon"

*Transmission straight into Hashtag*

So you are the Terrans that Shockwave has informed us about he was correct, you are inferior. Do not think your fleshlings bond with Megatron will save you and your doomed brood, we will find you and we will terminate you. And just to give you a taste of what you will face.

*Forcibly uploads all the photos of the DJDs past victims*

Hashtag: Oh! A new as-

*Alert going off*

Whoosh!

Hashtag: hu-? Wha- where’d it go? I didn’t accidentally delete it did I??

Tarantulas: Tarn.

Tarantulas: I do not appreciate you threatening my assistant and their siblings. Let alone with want to kill them, or your attempts to traumatize them.

Tarantulas: keep your grimy claws off my little sparks.

Megatron: Tarn. We speak once more.

Megatron: I appreciate your dedication to your assignment from past leaders of the faction, but please remain within your field.

Megatron: As I have detailed to you and your lot, I am very different from my predecessors, and sparklings - such as the Terrans - are very strictly off limits to you all. We went over this with Silver, and Hot Rod.

Megatron: And even so, recall, they are to follow us up one day, when we eventually die off, Tarn. Because we will. No one is immortal.

Megatron: And they are young. Innocent, naive- impressionable. If you want to sway them over -

Megatron: - which is very possible, they have plenty of Decepticon influence, and Nightshade and Thrash both show interest in the Decepticons, who knows the decisions their siblings may make in their stead -

Megatron: Don’t try to scare them away. Yes?

Megatron: And do not take this as either one or the other - this is both your first warning, and my advice in an attempt to help you, if you want to bring the little ones in.

Megatron: The only order I have for you further regarding this matter, is either if you cannot tone yourself down a touch to mind your own, or if you are so keen on getting closer to them you sweeten up a little. I know you can, Tarn.

Megatron: Megatron, out.

Tarantulas: and for the record, nearly all of these messages from you to them, will be directed back to me. So it will be either coordinate with myself and Megatron, or leave. my. littlesparks. ALONE.

Hashtag: that sucks. It must have been deleted by accident somehow…

Tarantulas: do not fret, child. I’m sure a simple apology will be enough for whoever it was.

Hashtag: Whoever you were, I’m sorry! I think tumblr ate it! >A<'

Hashtag: maybe try again later? <:)

Your blog is so horny but you're also funny as hell so it balances out, anyways uuuh tf2 administrator woof woof bark grrr

So it BALANCES OUT? Honey if you want one you're gonna have to put up with the other. I'm a multifaceted person and you all have to deal with that! Like any artist, any PHILOSOPHER, you need to put up with my barking for the Administrator if you wanna hear about Merasmus chugging pregnant mare urine in 4000 B.C.. 💅

[lightbulb-warning]

your content, it brings out genuine feelings in me that I could not hope to describe. Do I cry about it? Maybe!!! I love you (from afar) xo

so sorry about the genuine feelings, get well soon!!/j

ok so jokes aside im feeling somewhat delirious and chatty so right now me and you are gonna pretend lie down on some imaginary grass and stare at some made up clouds while i ramble

isn't it fucking cool?i made something from my corner of the globe, something that is a culmination of my lived experiences and tastes, and despite my content not being about that (it's all fanart of a thing i care about) it resonated with you?? someone who's life i cannot even begin to comprehend because to me you only exist as words in my inbox and potential? you could be anyone and anything to me, stranger! and so am i to you! some random person on the internet that you know exclusively through a combination of pictures and text and pixels- yet you feel as if you love me? because i've somehow created something that made you feel seen emotionally in some way? wow.

i think that's cool!

It’s the lightheartedness. I feel like I’m watching a late 80s to early 90s rom-com when I’m reading your stories 💖

Awww, thank you! I certainly write a lot of light-hearted fluff and I'm glad you appreciate it! I always hope to make someone's day a little better 💕

Anonymously tell me what my specialty as a fanfiction writer is!

Hi! I don't mean to bother you or pressure you into writing more, but are you going to continue the angel studies fic? I loved what you've posted of the story so far

Hi there !! No problem!! I don't mind answering any questions about fic. Yes !! Angel Studies 101 is my babyyyyy

I've already written 4 chapters! Too bad I want to completely rewrite them. Cry.

I got caught up in the intense brainworms of Cabin of Feathers, and I'm going to finish that one before going back to Studies, but CoF has a very nailed down plot - it's all leading towards the ending, and I actually have it all planned out. So it's definitely going to get finished, hooray!

Bad news is that I think it's going to take me the rest of the year.... it takes me about a month to write each chapter (barring anything like being sick putting me behind) so it might be the end of the year before I can come back to Studies.

Good news is that even though I want to rewrite the whole of Studies, I have a blueprint now, and I know better where I want it to go and what kind of tone I want it to have. (Something a lot lighter than it currently has...) so it shouldn't take me as long to write when I finally get to it.

Anyway, all that is to say: yes. At some point it is definitely coming! And thank you!! I still have a notebook full of notes for Studies and I'm excited to use them ! Dean writing a book about angels using an unknowing Cas for his research is full of comedy potential sprinkled with cool angel lore and I really want to stick to that. I got really caught up in making it a fix-it fic on top of everything else and it started getting complicated. Some of it is staying, some of it is going, but I'm looking forward to it!! I might even see if someone can beta that one to keep me from straying too far from the tone I want.

Sorry this got so long lmaooo

One of the rough parts about US cryptids is that a good handful (if not the majority) are appropriated from the beliefs of the First Nations. I think Mothman is one of the few that is not? If you wanna delve into it, looking for critical, scholarly articles concerning the subject might be way more available.

Oh yeah, that's why i was a bit hesitant about the topic but honestly nothing.... Exciting? Or entertaining is coming to my mind rn, i feel like every idea i have is kinda boring which is new because usually i can come up with good topics just fine

But rn the elden ring playthrough im watching is much more important 😔

Keys to a car

"Hey, Tab, look at this!" the criminal exclaims gleefully, holding up a dirt-crusted key, "This key is for a Daewoo. They haven't sold those here for years!"

Tabitha smiled, surprised at how such a little thing seemed to suddenly lift her fiance's mood. At the same time, she had no idea what he was talking about.

"Is...Is it valuable, or something?"

"No, quite the opposite, actually."

[rpfisfine]

(hi im back I got scared bc I worried I'd focused too much on myself in my last ask and the demons took over Help) idk why im shocked that there aren't any fics unique to wattpad I dont think the boyboy following is a wattpad bunch we're all old pretentious fucks (endearing). I rly hope they're cool with fics,,, i hope they Get It,,, that would be really sick. they've surprised me before, they can do it again!

you ARE being brave holy shit if I was in your position I think I'd shit myself to DEATH this tension is killing me but I agree your fics are so well written like they're rpf but more importantly they're really good??? truly moving?? literary even??? and i have hope that they'll appreciate that too

- 🌵

HIIIIIIIIIII noooooooo omg not at all!!! its just that ive genuinely sucked ass at answering asks in general since the dawn of time and in the past couple of weeks i have gotten more asks than ive ever received before in my entire life LOL plus my memory is shit so if i dont answer Immediately i forget ive even been sent anything in the first place and its just this whole thing but me not responding wasnt caused by anything you did in the slightest i LOVE getting asks from you!!!

god i literally know it makes complete sense but at the same time it surprised me as well maybe wattpad rly isnt what i remember it being anymore maybe it has fallen off in a pretty major way since 2014..... dude i literally cannot exaggerate how much i want that to be true LOL i rly rly rly hope they are too like i know logically they wouldnt be making the video if they werent but still...... tbh aleksa does strike me as someone who has legitimately written self insert fanfiction abt him & alex in the past so. i think there's some hope for us (joking obvs. unless..)

im gonna be real there hasnt been one moment in the past couple of days where i wasnt shitting and pissing and vomiting myself to death i literally wake up in cold sweat nowadays expecting my inbox to be flooded w anons being like DUDE THE VIDEO IS OUT FHFGNG.. like its BAD the tension is kiling me as well. ohhhhhmy god stop you guys are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo niceys to me i cant believe it..... god.....them apprer . them Complim , them ap- i cant even say it . is something i genuinely honestly cannot even begin to think abt like you guys r being so brave and normal abt this and r trying to comfort me constantly and i just feel like i havent made any mental progress at all since the day of the fateful discovery LOL like ever since i learned its not gonna be posted to their patreon w roughly 5000 subscibers like i hoped but instead to their yt channel with 800k+ subscibers i have been trying even Harder to gaslight myself into thinking my fics somehow wont make it into the video bc when i like sit down and make a serious attempt to entertain the possibility of 800k ppl potentially seeing my writing its just . Like my brain legitimately shuts down. i just cannot physically or mentally comprehend that number at all its not REAL!!!! to me!!!!!! get me out of here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
