HE'S YOUR MOST DEVOTED FOLLOWER AND WORSHIPPER

I don't trust people that hate Haru from Beastars because half the time they're demonizing her for a misunderstanding of her character/babying the men around her. She's one of the most complex female characters we've gotten in media and people are bent on not engaging properly with her story or her motivations.

Like the scene of her and Legoshi in season 1 happens because every guy she's ever interacted with has only ever given her something with the expectation of sexual favors in return. She's promiscuous because it's the only form of connection anyone gives her and she's come to accept that if she goes along with it, she can feel something. Even the pain is preferable to loneliness. She's not trying to force herself on him, everything she says is to reassure him and placate.

I want to also add: louis is one of the guys to treat her like this. Not one single guy in the school has any respect for her or her comfort

Legoshi removes himself because he's clearly been shown to have impulses he struggles to control, and he also doesn't know how to handle the situation. Haru doesn't chase him down and is, in fact, baffled because it's the first time someone helped her without demands following it.

In the end the scene shows us the difference in their characters and carves a moment that shapes their dynamic going forward. It's not something traumatic for Legoshi and in fact helps him begin to understand there are nuances to Haru he hadn't considered when he only viewed her as a weak victim. Meanwhile it introduces Haru to someone she can properly build a bond with beyond any immediate relationship expectation.

Haru is flawed don't get me wrong. She's chaotic and self destructive. But this insistence on hating her for something in the first episode and painting it out to be something it wasn't drives me insane.

Modern AU streamer He Xuan whose handle is Ming Yi and nobody sees his face, and he spends most of his time finessing legal systems while calling out the corrupt with mountains of evidence at hand.

When he sends out a warning announcement that he's posting, everyone watching his social media pages lights up, some with fear and panic, others with delight and excitement. All anybody knows is if Ming Yi mentions your name in one of these announcements, there is no hope for your survival.

He's a silent predator, a creature crawling from the underwater abyss and when he's on your radar, it's likely you've been on his for far longer.

Xie Lian the type to immediately describe you as an ugly normie and then without hesitation inconvenience himself to save your life

I read something where a non-Christian author described standing with a weeping family around their grandmother’s deathbed as they sang “Amazing Grace,” and the author said that there was no grace in that room. I hate to tell you, author whose name and article I don’t remember, but you misunderstand the very nature of grace.

I love how Lane is written because unlike other stoic characters where it could be very easy to cross the line between cold & unreachable (to the reader), Lane is very aware she's empty inside and that part of her humanity is missing, and that she can't do anything about it. A piece of who she used to be is just...gone and she's supposed to walk through everyday life knowing that nobody will ever be able to understand or feel her lack of pain. Someone save me

obligatory disclaimer that i do not actually care how people choose to have fun with fictional characters and everyone should do whatever they want in fandom forever (as long as they don't go out of their way to make others feel bad)

but

the way i am watching the mando ladies slowly have everything interesting stripped from their personalities so they can be reduced to "pew pew badass hot mean woman" may very well become the reason i move to the mountains and embrace monasticism

His back against the earth, cushioned by grass, oh how much Arthur longed for stars above to reach out and ask,

"What do you yearn for?"

He envisions their silent presence, with all burdens they store.

Perhaps they have a haven where his secrets sleep, only to be awoken when the yearning's deep.

But with no stars to ask, his heart remained back, tucked away in the confines of inked pages, bound by leather and secrecy.

Sobbing, instead of studying I translated more of doujin page from the same artist, linking 2 more, with (shorter) summary,

this one is about trey who actually acts normal not because he wants normality, but because he feels like he has to be normal (like trauma after getting riddle into trouble), but then jade sense that side of him, and somewhat be like, it's okay not to be normal and it release tensions from trey's shoulders fhsdh when they started dating, trey kept finding himself in trouble that jade brought upon them (schoolmates suddenly wants to get into battle because they have some kind of beef on jade) when cater said, u like normal right? why are u going out with him? trey said, i don't actually dislike it (the trouble) (yea because he is actually not normal)

when azul said, jade why are u going out with trey, he seems too normal? jade be like, no he is not normal at all, trey knows there's someone behind the bench (i hope someone saved them after fshd but then there were ants, ants go for dead bodies, is he ded for real? fshdh BUT WAIT, it was raining, ANTS WON'T COME OUT WHEN IT RAINS, hey! hey!!! AUTHOR!!) but he still gave jade the umbrella calmly in conclusion, TOTES NOT NORMAL! Jade said.

--

this one is about riddle becoming best friend with jade, and their unique relationship also bits of riddle realizing jade has feeling for trey and bits of floyd just started to think he likes riddle, and they all help each other (yippie!)

the writing is also in depth & brilliant, but i especially love page 61-64 where jade gave reasoning to trey not to tied himself forever on the trauma of putting riddle into trouble back then that he deserves to be happy himself when trey said "i wish i can do something for riddle" jade replied "riddle wasn't someone that only you could save." "of course it doesn't have to be me." "riddle is a strong person who can find happiness on his own if given the chance." "please be happy too"

RIGHT AT MY KOKORO.

The funniest thing about reading mdzs royalty au’s is when Lan Wangji is the emperor, but there’s zero explanation why he was chosen over his older brother, Lan Xichen.

Like, I don’t know much about Asian royalty dynamics, but I’m pretty sure the eldest of full siblings is before the younger in line for the throne…
