#this can honestly be platonic or romantic

[dreamwreaver]

whatever happens in the second season, i only hope alastor still ends up single. because if the team had plans of pairing him up with anyone, a lot of people are going to be upset and with a fandom like hazbin, its gonna be real messy. they're already harassing each other over alastor ships that aren't even canon or straight up weaponizing his unconfirmed aroaceness, if he ever dates anyone, you can bet some of them will be adding it to their bullying ammunition.

Viv has confirmed he is asexual. There has been at least one interview post series premiere where she says as much. The aromanticism aspect was more of a headcanon originally held by someone named faustisse who is no longer associated with the project. Alastor's show va Amir Talai mistakenly quoted this and later did correct the record.

Not that either sexuality seems to matter to the fans until he gets shipped with Charlie.

What I will say is that I'm honestly not worried. A crap ton of the TikTok "fans" were already regretting that the hazbin hotel soundtrack was in their Spotify wrapped. So honestly? Not worried. The same thing happened with the Beetlejuice the musical fandom too. When something more trendy comes along they'll move to that. What most of them would really benefit from though is a lesson on fandom ettequite.

That being said, alastor's current trajectory that would keep with his established sexuality would be developing strong platonic ties to the other main cast. Charlie being his "person" even in a non romantic manner. We already see how he goes against most of his own personal boundaries where she is concerned. And someone can be your soulmate without it needing to be romantic or sexual.

All these people on Twitter going on about all the women Zoro ‘bags’. And I cringe because like Zoro isn’t like that. He’s unaware of the women who find him attractive.

Not in an oblivious way, but I’m of the firm belief that unless you’re his crew or Mihawk or maybe Perona (only since they spent two years together training and you can’t just ignore someone on an island with only three people on it), Zoro just doesn’t truly care about you enough to notice your romantic feelings or feelings in general. You don’t register on his radar.

And also he even ranks the people who do register on his radar (not on the romantic register since there is no canon romantic partner Zoro is interested in) on who’s feelings matter the most. Here’s my ranking of this:

1. Luffy

2. The Crew

3. Mihawk (he just wants to surpass him but also I think he wants Mihawks approval of being worthy to take his title)

4. Sanji (this is a joke, even with their rivalry and fighting all the time, he does try and make sure sanji is doing okay emotionally and all that, in reality he’s up there in the ranking of the crew)

Also, I do think that the gap between luffy and the crew is pretty decent. Like Zoro cares for the crew a lot, but much like the people who watched the live action without watching the anime and then watching the anime, we know that that bond between Zoro and Luffy is something no one can touch in the One Piece Universe.

Like I’m not even saying this in a shipping pov, this is something I noticed long before I knew shipping existed, let alone ZoLu being a romantic ship. Like you take Luffy’s relationship with his sworn brothers and yeah that’s special in its own way, but like Zoro and luffy were just as connected emotionally and soulfully (like soulmates [you could take it as romantic soulmates or platonic soulmates it’s your choice]) to each other that Zoro was willing to sacrifice himself for luffy after only knowing him for a year (or less or a little more idk the timeline), which is significant because it’s a direct parallel with Ace, later, sacrificing himself for Luffy to live. His bond to luffy was as close as luffy’s bond to ace and Sabo (who, for ace’s case, knew luffy for years, idk how long Sabo knew luffy before he got amnesia cuz it’s really hard to figure out the timeline and how much time has passed and I’m sure it was made known in the anime/manga but I can’t remember off the top of my head)

So anyway, sorry to the Twitter folks but Zoro isn’t a lady’s man simply because he just doesn’t care about anyone except for his crew and mihawk and perona (but the latter two is only cuz one is literally standing in the way of his goal but he’s also an inspiration and the other is cuz of prolonged exposure). Yes those women like him, but I think a lady’s man is someone who is aware of the women flocking him and who in some way entertains them whether it’s flirting or acknowledging them.

I’m not saying he doesn’t care about anyone else, it’s just that it’s kinda insignificant bc of the ones at the top of the list. He couldn’t care less about strangers, but the ones he knows he cares a little about but not enough to notice anything. He only has about four or five thoughts in his mind:

1. Swords and fighting

2. Luffy and everything that encompasses luffy even making sure he doesn’t drown

3. Sleeping

4. Booze

5. Training

(This isn’t in any order because honestly booze is the first thing that should be on the list if it were in order, much like meat would be the first thing on Luffy’s)

Anyway idk what this rant really is about, I just think I needed to rant about Zoro and what goes on in his head a little

BKDK Rant

I cannot express how much bkdk has actually just stolen my heart. No matter how you look at it, platonic or romantic, it's such a good relationship build up and they are truly so close. I cannot see Katsuki with anyone but Izuku at this point because I genuinely believe Izuku is Katsuki's 'only exception' like 'if I cannot love anyone else you will always be the one I ever did.'

As well as IzuOcha, love them, but her whole character arc is realizing her crush on Izuku was only just admiration rather than actual like or love.

BkDk had better build up and time put into it and so did TogaOcha. Both these pairs had more build up than IzuOcha and it shows that each one has a strong bond, even if one is dead. Izuku will kill for Katsuki so matter how much he gets hurt and Ochako will always think about Toga for the rest of her life, there's no saying either of Katsuki or Toga didn't love those two either. Katsuki definitely fully realized he love Izuku especially during the time skip or even before.

Chpt 341 honestly doesn't make sense to me and I know it's basically an alternative ending or something for the reader to base an ending to their liking off of but Izuku is NAWT like that bsffr rn. I genuinely think we would've jumped at the chance to be with Katsuki and fight to become top heros together.

Katsuki basically purposed with that because what do you mean 'I wanted to fight on our heels to the top for the rest of our lives' ok so you want to marry him 🤨. Genuinely it's so gut wrenching AGHH.

The way Izuku looks at Katsuki as well, his eyes don't shine brighter with anyone else and this is shown. He not only admires Katuski but he loves him with his full heart, especially with the panel where he screams to 'give him back' in which the orginal japanese character is possessive like 'give my Kacchan back'. He does not play about is Kacchan bro 🙏

anyways I just think it's such a good ship and relationship whether you want to see it as platonic or romantic (I see it as romantic but you do you) I love the whole build of it and how Katsukis character develops into such a more calm individual. You can see it from the way his eyes soften and it's so cool with that detail.

This is long enough but share some awesome BkDk fics that made your heart twist and turn but end up happy, I need it.

ok you got me super curious. why don't you like steve?

This is gonna be a long one, so unbuckle your seatbelts, slam on the brakes, and do a front flip out of the windshield.

I'm going to break it down by season because that will help me get all my points down, and I don't want to leave anything out. Also, a little disclaimer: I do like Steve's writing, and I appreciate the way he's developed and the role he plays, but with that being said, I still don't like him as a character.

I'm going to try and explain each reason the best I can, but I low-key suck at that so I'm sorry if anything seems confusing.

SEASON 1:

season 1 is the season that is most self-explanatory of why I don't like him, I don't think anyone genuinely likes him in season 1.

-He literally slut shamed Nancy. Like...I don't care if he was only a teenager/had bad friends. He would've been 17 and old ENOUGH to understand the consequences of that and that it would hurt Nancy...that's why he did it in the first place.

-he was awful to Jonathan, and I'm not necessarily talking about the breaking camera thing, I'm talking about what he said to him before the fight. He called him queer (a slur back in the 80's), insulted his family, and insinuated that he had something to do with his little brother's disappearance.

-He pressured Nancy into sex. NO, HE DID NOT SA HER. It was consensual, but with that being said, something can still be consensual and enjoyed while having pressure on top of that. Also, he didn't stop Carol when she was mocking Nancy and making her uncomfortable; he was smug about it. But yes, I understand he was just a teenager then.

-He just, in general, didn't respect her boundaries at all and made Barb's disappearance about himself AT FIRST.

SEASON 2:

-He left Nancy, black out drunk, at a party. Yes, he was heartbroken, but he left her there and she was really lucky that Jonathan was there.

There's not much else in season 2 honestly. Mostly my feelings about him in s2 come from the first couple episodes when all he wanted was to make Nancy forget about her guilt and leaving her at the party. But yeah, I don't care about him in s2.

SEASON 3:

There's nothing necessarily bad about him in s3. I just hate how they made him this big character but then pushed Jonathan to the side, but that has nothing to do with his character. That's just a personal pet peeve I have with the duffers.

S3 was definitely his best season and the only one I can say I liked him in. They let him focus on his platonic relationships instead of making him chase after Nancy the whole time, and I like that. If they kept him like this for s4, I probably wouldn't dislike him as much as I do, but they just had to make him go back to that and it ruined him for me. Hopefully in s5 they'll let him be like his s3 self again.

SEASON 4:

-the six nugget speech. OH MY GOD BROTHER EUGH. I could make a whole essay about this, but long story short, it was completely unhinged and just shows he only wants Nancy for his dream, and he doesn't really care about her dreams in a romantic sense. He's in love with the idea of her, not her.

In conclusion, I only like Steve when they don't make his entire character revolve around Stancy and that dead relationship. Let Stancy die, I BEG OF YOU. It's better for Steve, Nancy, Jonathan, and literally everyone who watched the damn show without rose-colored glasses for Steve.

If they just let the love triangle die in s2, I can almost guarantee that I would like Steve more. But alas, they didn't and kept it around as if we don't already know how it's going to end.

Anyway, I probably went into way more detail than you wanted me to, but oh well. I wanted to be honest.

I'm sure partnering with the two most petty, jealous, and obsessive men in hell for business totally doesn't affect Velvette's social life in the slightest. 😊

To die by your side is such a heavenly way to die 🔪💼

so glad I have Monday off because i need this weekend to recover from this episode. anyway! more dramatic redraw of one of my favorite frames! I saw clouds and purple and I love them both! it was love at first sight

Speedpaint and non-glitched version under the cut!

you can't really tell in the glitched version, but bonus note!

I gave Knife mainly bruises since in the fight scene, suitcase mainly beat the shit out of him. veeeeery small detail: there's a bite mark on his wrist from when suitcase closed herself on his hand also, but we went with a bite mark for the gijinka haha.

and Suitcase has mainly slashes because Knife is a knife so it felt fitting. he would bring a knife to a fist fight haha

[beetlerings]

I think men should kiss each other and women should have as many boyfriends as they want

[koszmarnybudyn]

Arthur's lap is a perfect place to sit :]

[arthursfuckinghat]

Take!!! A gamble!!!! That love exists!!!! And do!!!! A loving!!!!!! Act!!!!!!!!

[pokimoko]

Why fight people when your time can be better spent bantering?

[fllayvor]

best friend Tomura who demands you stay in his bed, by his side, for a little while longer after you both unceremoniously fall asleep together after a long night of gaming,,, his voice firm yet gentle…

legs interlocked, his hands wrapped around your abdomen as he lays his head against the nape of your neck, burying his face and resisting the urge to press his chapped lips up against your skin,,,

even though this event is an accident, he relishes in having you so close. he doesn’t need to be your lover, it’s superfluous. no matter your status, you’ll always be the most important to him. platonic or otherwise.

Mammon in every timeline:

[hiddenmoonbeam]

Thinking about teenage Sirius, wickedly smart with top grades, a rich heir to an old pureblood house, tall and handsome and haugty, drawing many admiring and envious looks that he appears to be above acknowledging. Popular, yet sticks to his small and close circle of friends, not really allowing anyone else close.

But even with them he's guarded about his own physical space; the old uncease is hard to shake, and it twists the want into knots. No matter how much he craves this intimicy, he struggles to accept it when it's given, and initiating it himself is even more difficult.

Padfoot makes everything simple, though. And so Sirius starts turning into him whenever he needs to be close - because asking for cuddles is so much easier for the dog than it is for the boy.

I’m titling this, Syzoth and Ashrah go to Walmart. Now accept the shenaniganary.

[stiffyck]

Can I talk about how ppl are seemingly unable to understand a deep relationship unless it's romantic or familial because it's been driving me insane recently. A relationship doesn't need to be romantic to be interesting and deep and meaningful.
