#those folks don't deserve this manga

Aita for bluntly telling a telling a friend I don't want to discuss *media* with them after them not taking the hint for a couple months?
I read a serialized manga —nothing mega popular like op or jjk but popular— as do many other folks excluding this friend from a different fandom. This manga fandom is full of shippers who can't figure out how fan shipping works so they shit on the manga for not making their headcanons true. They'll call the author illiterate fetishizer over ships and frankly most of them read it through other fans' tweets or tiktoks so I don't care for those opinions regardless. I think the manga doesn't deserve the hate and real readers who look up meta or volume extras enjoy it more. Needless to say I have my own fave ships with varying degree of canon backing, and I'm a "hag" fan I make my own food without resorting to bashing someone's work.
This dear friend of mine has been on and off into this manga for about a year, has been part of a server that's full of Those shippers, but also talk to me and another mutual separately when they remember we also like it. Problem is that their opinion about the manga changes according to who they're talking to, if it's us two individuals this manga is aight, good shit, if it's the server girlies they Loathe that manga it burned their crops— the latter is their real opinion I have proof of that. Naturally I don't enjoy discussing it with them but lately every time there's a new chapter they comes knocking, "Omg did you see 👀? My fyp was saying this and this"
One time I had dismissed them saying I hadn't read it to discuss anything, I fell into a habit of saying this again and making other excuses while being publicly open about hating the manga hate bandwagon over ships. They should have noticed this but I can't be sure. This week again they wanted to talk but I was pretty upset about something at work so I went unfiltered and ranted just a little bit. My sister believes they use me to form discussion topics for their server which was also bugging me. I said to them, "You should start reading the manga if you want to discuss it. I'm getting tired of correcting you and you should know I can see what you tell your other friends so can you quit making contradicting comments in my dms?"
They got really mad and started subtweeting me so I blocked them. Replies to them are still visible and I saw another mutual tell them whoever didn't communicate nicely was a bad friend and it's sad that a long time friend would break up over ships. I'm having a little guilt feeling now because I was really not in my best mood yesterday.
I can't say I'm new to this sort of inane arguments over ships especially in today's fandom climate, but them being all Jekyll and Hyde to desperately be part of the conversation while never reading the manga first hand is still crazy to me. This could have been a nonissue.
So was I the asshole or are we both in the wrong? please share if you faced something similar or like what my sis said.

Something that I've been kind of wrestling with since chapter 1 of Undead Unluck four years ago that I never brought up: kinda messed up that the main cast are just like...casual murderers
I'm not saying this to say that they're bad characters or anything, or even that the series is amoral, it's just a little bit of dissonance that's always rattled around in the back of my head that I somehow only just now got a chance to reconcile with
Andy took out almost all of the Union goons that came after him and Fuuko in ch.1, and then Fuuko deliberately summoned the meteor to kill eye-scar guy (poor dude still doesn't have a canon name)
Then Void and Shen showed up perfectly willing to kill Fuuko, only for Andy to bump off Void, and Shen decides "you guys are great, you should kill Gina too"
And of course, Andy knocks off a few more goons on the way, and finally takes out Gina
That's a lot of murder jam-packed in the first 10 chapters or so, and there's never really a point where anyone says "damn, maybe we shouldn't have killed all those people." Fuuko even helps facilitate the destruction of the black market auction cruise ship, of which there were definitely no survivors! I know that with the exception of Gina and Void everyone who died was "bad," but it's never brought up, not even in the context of brushing it off
In Andy's case, he's been a mercenary for about 200 years, his view on murder is definitely skewed: "this guy tried to kill me, he can't complain if I get him first." Fuuko, on the other hand, is a bit of a question mark. "I want everyone that I've killed with my Unluck to live." I know she meant the innocent bystanders on the plane, but do you think she included the black market folks? Like she wants to not be a murderer, or does she not consider it murder if it's people who deliberately hurt others?
Or, and this is the big one, is it that she already feels like she's too far gone? Does she feel like there's so much blood on her hands that she can't judge anyone else like Andy or Rip or Billy, and therefore she has to live like them lest she be a hypocrite?
I'm decently confident that the Fuuko of Loop 101 would go out of her way not to kill anyone, but is that a way to atone for the life she felt she had to live in L100, or is it that she simply accepted the mistakes of her past and has resolved not to make them again?
It's shonen manga, we don't have to grapple with the moral implications of murder if we don't want to, but it's an angle that we can explore if we want to and that the manga itself hasn't decided to
Me personally, I choose to believe that Fuuko has never viewed anyone as "deserving" to die, and has only allowed herself to take a life if it was for the sake of her own or someone else's survival; she's never purposefully taken out anyone who wasn't a threat in some way, and the ones who weren't she clearly carries the guilt for. Along the same line, she accepts Andy and Rip and the like because she knows that they all have their own reasons, and that everyone is just trying to reach the point where they can live happily without the need for conflict anymore
Hm. Maybe I should reread the Buroja arc, I feel like the idea of conflict for the sake of peace could be dug into really well there...

Please don't vote for Mob in the upcoming Mob vs. Shallan Davar/Veil/Radiant dissociation swag poll!
Beloved mutuals, I write today to make a desperate plea for Squimbo From My Polls, as I threatened to do earlier. This is relatively unimportant and I need to be working on homework right now but this matters, To Me.
You see, Shallan, and Veil, and Radiant, my girls, my beloved, my collective poor little meow meow, soon face Shigeo Kageyama from Mob Psycho 100 in @dissociationswagcompetition's tumblr poll bracket. And folks, I love both of these blorbos. I really do. But Mob does not deserve to beat Shallan and Veil and Radiant! Shallan specifically here is the QUEEN of dissociating! And she's swagful! She deserves to sweep this entire bracket! However, the Stormlight Archive fandom is a fairly small one, and Mob Psycho's is... not. Do you know the post that's about Squimbo from an obscure manga from 2004 vs Pikachu, where Pikachu wins based on pure name recognition? I fear an impending situation like that when Shallan's system absolutely DESERVES to sweep. Friends, I know we all like Mob. I ask you to listen to my plea and vote for Shallan's system instead.
Let me start with the obvious. The mostly non-spoilery. To start, Shallan, Veil, and Radiant are a canon DID system. Yes, canon DID, that's not demonized and is accurately, fairly represented! They aren't side characters, either; Shallan's system is arguably one of the two most main characters in a book series with a very large cast! It's awesome! And Shallan, to be clear, has dissociation issues besides purely being part of a DID system as well. She is constantly emotionally dissociating to cope with life. It gives her significant memory trouble. She dissociates hard and constantly and her mental illnesses are a significant part of the narrative. And let me re-iterate: Shallan's system is so so swagful. Shallan is quippy and funny and smart, Veil is an utter badass spy, and Radiant is a master swordswoman. So much swag.
Plus, she does the whole bottling up emotions thing. I get that that's why Mob is in this poll probably and let me tell you: she does all that and more. She deserves this win.
This enough should be enough information to vote for her, but I want to give specific examples, and that gets into spoiler territory. So, a cut is in order.
TO START I want to say that Shallan dissociates so hard that the count of people that she murdered and then forgot about murdering is up to FOUR!! FOUR PEOPLE. She dissociates so hard her dissociation has a body count. All were very necessary murders which is why I do not consider this demonization. Her motives were incredibly understandable, such as self defense or necessary to save the world. Does not change the fact that she entirely forgot about them.
Also. She does not remember like half of her childhood at least, during which some of those murders took place! It is commonly suspected that she probably has more people she's killed under her belt and we just don't know about it because she forgot about them. Very little is known about Shallan's past in general because she dissociated too hard and doesn't remember it. She managed to acquire a shardblade, one of the most powerful weapons in the setting, and forgot how she got it.
Also!! She's very avoidant of things that are trauma triggers, especially if they threaten to make her remember stuff she's suppressed. It's very significant because Pattern, her spren, keeps trying to get her to confront her past and move on, and she keeps fighting this every single book. This is an ongoing, deep internal conflict, and not something brushed under the rug.
Finally: this system is so swagful guys. They She got stabbed and thrown into a room full of corpses, experienced The Horrors as they were being carried there, and still got up to continue their mission later, over the course of which they took a crossbow bolt to the head and acted like it was totally fine and the others were crazy for being worried about them, and they pulled it out solely because they couldn't talk around it. PLUS they magicked up an entire army once. Also, she's witty, and always has a quip, and she's married to another swagful guy, AND she and her husband would be down for a polyamorous triad with Kaladin if he was, which he sadly isn't. So much swag.
So please vote for my blorbo please please please I'll love you forever if you do. the end

10 fandoms, 10 characters, 10 tags
Basic rules: choose 10 fandoms that you are part of/support, and choose a favorite character from each of those. Then, tag ten folks!
Tagged by: @miqojak! Ty! It didn't even take me half a year to get around it this time XD
In no particular order, except for the first one ever since I'm 16. Also finding 10 fandoms is kinda hard because I'm def not that active, or even a passive participant, in so many fandoms so you'll get a glimpse of my younger self instead :'D
And long post ahead so thank you in advance if you've taken the time to go through this list!
Kanon, from Saint Seiya
Look, this is the blorbo and if you see similarities between his backstory and Kazan's, no you don't. Mentioning either him or the manga is enough to get my friends to sigh and groan as they await the inevitable gushing/rant that'll follow (which reminds me that I haven't, actually, gushed about him or ranted about the manga in quite a while now). Which is to say, I love lonely sad villains/antiheroes and if you've ever seen me mentioning the forbidden blorbo, now you know who I'm talking about.
Emet-Selch, from FFXIV
At this point I feel like I should mention that I do not stand in favor of manipulating or killing people as a form of therapy :'D
A bit more seriously though, I think he's the first character I felt so viscerally about in the game? Like I never agreed with his views but going through ShB I really hoped we'd managed to bring him to our side. My tragedy-loving ass won't complain about how ShB ended for him, mind you, but still.
Honorable mention for Thancred too, whom I feel more and more attached to as times passes, and also Y'shtola but in her case it's perhaps more the fact that she's, in terms of behavior, very much My Type.
Madi, from Black Sails
There are many great characters in that TV show and if you haven't seen it, I can only recommend it to you. But really, Madi is my favourite of the lot and definitely the inspiration for Inge if I had to pick one.
Between her cleverness, her dignity, her integrity, her charisma, her dedication to her people and her cause and her curiosity about others, what's not to love about her?
Varric Tethras, from Dragon Age 2 / DA:I
I was hesitating between Isabela and Cullen, but then I remembered the Best Companion Ever and how could I not put Hawke's most loyal friend on the list? I love him, love his loyalty, how he stays compassionate despite all he goes through, his sense of humor, his honesty... Only wish we could have romanced him in DA:I, but on the other end I like his story with Bianca so I'm not too sad about not being able to.
Byakuya Kuchiki, from Bleach
In the spirit of this dash game I'll respect the rules and make a choice, but if I'd filled this list any other day, I might have put Grimmjow there instead :'D
Anyway. I love a stubborn man with a stick up his ass and too many (conflicting) principles despite a rebellious heart who needs to be almost killed to start thinking that perhaps, just perhaps, he could have handle a Situation better.
And I love this character development past that point.
He wasn't an inspiration for Wolfe, but they're very much alike in several aspect. Byakuya is, however, a lot better at keeping a straight face.
Lois Habiba, from Torchwood S3
I haven't watched Torchwood in a long time but I remember her. In fact I remember Lois better than I remember some of the main cast.
She was just a normal young woman who had managed to get a really good job and risked everything to do the right thing and idk. She was just a really solid character that deserved better recognition.
Dean Winchester. Do I need to say from where?
Look, I loved all five seasons of Supernatural. A shame they didn't add more later!
And with Dean it's a bit personal so I'm not gonna go deep in details about it, but let's just say that there's quite a bit of me that I recognized in him and I just want to give that man a hug.
Donna Noble, from Doctor Who
I'm not up to date with the new seasons/episodes so no spoilers please!
But hm, yeah. I think what I loved the most about how Russel T. Davies was directing the show was how real his everyday people turned companion felt, and while I preferred Rose when I was younger, the older I get, the more appreciation I have for Donna.
She's just so full of life and character, so brave and so unapologetic about being herself despite her self-esteem issues, but I think what I love above all else about her is how she always acted as an equal to the Doctor.
I'm gonna repeat myself but really, the older I get, the more I love her. And I really need to catch up :'D
Cain Hargreaves, from the Cain saga
Honestly I don't expect anyone to remember this manga XD It's an old one I read when I was a teenager and one of the few I kept despite not having re-read it in 10+ years. I don't remember that much from it but I do remember the ending quite well.
Anyways. Cain's a young earl with a tragic past, a strong sense of justice, more money than common sense, a love for poisons and a fear of commitment. Truly, what could go wrong with such a character?
Also:
"Have I ever failed a promise to you? - Yes, all the time." after his sister made him swear he'd come back to her alive is just perfect.
Spike, from BtVS
He's devoted, he's cruel, he's romantic, he's brave, he's pathetic, he's capable of taking responsibility for his actions... I love a multifaceted character and I've had a soft spot for Spike ever since I've watched the series for the first time.
I rewatched it not too long ago and it didn't age that well imo, or maybe I'm just more critical than I used to be, but I still think Spike is an awesome character and I love that it was in spite of Whedon's intentions for him.
---
And I believe that brings me at 10 characters for 10 fandoms! It strangely feels more like undressing in front of strangers than actually undressing in front of strangers :'D So obviously I'm gonna tag a few people to do it too:
@under-the-blood-moonlight @merlwybs-wife @voidtekarc @alannah-corvaine @ashenbun @zhauric @biff-adventurer @tea-and-conspiracy and @confusedtia! And frankly anyone else who wants to!

Some people will say that they are above the pro vs anti debate and think it's all incredibly stupid and insignificant, which I would agree to partly, if this anti vs pro debate hasn't led to minority groups (in this case a trans asian person getting the cops called on them because of someone who was absolutely obsessed with driving them into a corner for drawing fictional characters experiencing gore and other nonconsensual situations) getting in danger, getting doxxed, having to live in fear because another person thinks that it is a normal and good thing to get someone whose opinions they disagree with killed.
Usually those who say they aren't involved will jump in on the first occasion they get to join team Death Threats Are Good To Eradicate Freaks. A post where I said both sides have merit is still going around, I don't really think that is right anymore. The take that fiction and dark or difficult themes in them should be taken with nuance and that harassment or book banning is NEVER the answer still stands. What I would like to add to that now is that even if you yourself don't harass anyone but don't mind sharing around posts in which darkfic creators are consistently made out to be freaks, not normal, morally corrupt is adding fuel to the issue as well. You're allowing harassment. You're placing these creators somewhere in the social hierarchy that is below others, and thus not deserving of respect.
The same goes for sharing blacklists around of 'problematic' people (who once in a post joking with their mutuals used an out of context screenshot of a hentai or ecchi manga in which characters were apparently teens, thus underage; some may know who I'm talking about), so that their friend group may hopefully cut them off, take their support away, make sure everyone leaves them so that they can no longer depend on anyone, isolate themselves, and like a true anti often wishes for them, that they'll end their life. Sure is an odd coincidence that the people they can hurt the most with it is trans folks who often have to make do with smaller personal circles and online communities, huh. You may not be aware as an uninvolved person that it is the end goal, but you're helping them work toward it.
The suffering of a fictional character will NEVER be more important to prevent than a real human being. The lack of empathy in anti circles is honestly terrifying. They use the exact same talking points far-right politicians do when talking about immigrants. As an academic who has done research both on nationalism in European countries and antifandom in the West, I can say as much with confidence. Define the 'other' as below yourself and problematic to society so that others may eventually only see them as trash as well, then easily normalize treating them as such.

Y'all are always shitting on other countries, but the moment they respond with the same bs, suddenly it's bad and you are victims.
Never realized how nobody does this to other countries but the USA, and everyone else does it only to the USA? Never heard of reaping what you sow? The USA has been culturally colonizing the whole world for the last century, trying to make everyone like them. Every time something is done differently from the USA, it's stupid or bad, and even so-called leftists does it. A lot of USAmericans online have said to me that they have no reasons to know geography outside their country, but we should know each one of their states because they are more important than our countries. Racism, which historically has been about creating races based on people's origins (Europeans' texts talk about a French race, a German Race, an Algerian Race, etc... They have been massacres because of this racism), is about skin colors ONLY because USAmericans said so. Yesterday, I saw a video about a harmless wedding tradition from a south European country, and the comments were full of USAmericans calling it "stupid white European tradition". USAmericans spread misinformation about other countries, to the point that if you try to correct things, they tell you they know more about it than you, but no, you don't know more about my culture, my country, its history and its law than me (that time y'all were spreading on Tumblr that France made Halal food illegal, which was not true at all) And no, it doesn’t work in the other sense because of the USA cultural colonialism. Making stupid petitions, with no knowledge about what really going on but also the arrogance to think a foreign government will listen to a bunch of random USAmericans (again, so-called leftists, wanting another country to bend and obey the USAmericans). Under videos talking about a biographic manga from a survivor of Hiroshima, the comments are full of USAmericans saying bs like "W USA" for the bombs. We are talking about a survivor, an innocent child fed propaganda by an Empire and traumatized by another, telling his story as an adult, and USAmericans are celebrating the violence, because "they deserved it", "Pearl Harbor", "Japanese are racists anyway". Holding Russian citizens accountable for the war in Ukraine as if they haven't been living in a dictatorship for decades, aka decades of propaganda and control. They are supposed to stop their government but y'all, who are in a way more free country, cannot???
Every time I saw Europeans make those comments about USAmericans, it was because they made comments about Europe. Calling Europeans "colonizers" when only half of the European countries participated and less than 5% (only 2% for France) had a say or even was informed about colonization. Also, news flash, but people in Europe aren't the descendant of colonizers, those are the white folks in ex-colonies (white folks in the USA have all more colonizers blood than me. I have none) Blaming Europe for the problems in the USA like the colons in the USA couldn't make decisions on their own, you have been independent for 200 years, and the majority of the country wasn't colonized yet. (The USA is not like the other colonies, stop acting as if it is) Saying Europe invented racism, which is simply wrong as racism and xenophobia can be observed everywhere in the world centuries ago and, also, racism based on white supremacy was invented by white colons in America and brought to Europe (There were black colons at the beginning, and free black people with rights, but the white colons didn't like that and decided that anyone with a bit of non-white blood was inferior. Europe was more functioning on a Catholicism supremacy than on skin color, and have been in contact with Africans and Asians well before Christ. Btw, he isn't whitewashed, no JC representation is supposed to look like him, that's forbidden. They used symbolism and the materials they had. Made him white to look like the locals most of the time. There is a church near me where Jesus and Marie are the blackest possible because they used a black wood, and this statue is old af. People there thought for centuries that Jesus and Marie were black) Mocking British people food for lacking spices is classicism, spices were a luxury only less than ≈10% of the population could afford, cultural food is often what the majority of the population could afford to make. Saying Europeans have no culture or that the USA does our cultural food better, which is deeply insulting and wrong (there are multiple cultures in one country, even if they are smaller than a state. Just in France, the bretons and the basques are different because their history is) Insulting a culture in general just because it's a European culture. Calling black Europeans by their African origin instead of their nationalities, which is deeply racist in Europe (only racists here will not call a black person European if they live here), and refusing to correct yourself when those black people tell you to not do that (French soccer players said multiple times to call them French to USAmericans, and were called racists for asking to be referred by their nationality). Saying to someone they have "enough" representations because they are Europeans, as if white USAmericans are a representation of every white culture (they're not) and there weren't any European cultures and minorities who have been harm through history (Poland was destroyed by WWII, with anyone having a high school diploma being killed. The concentration camps were build for the Slavs, and around 20 millions were killed by the Nazis, the total number will forever be unknown, but because some are Russians, we better not care, right? Btw, slavery literally come from the word Slavs because they were sold as slaves outside of Europe. Yeah, some Europeans were also slaves). And I have so much more example.
When France went through terrorist attacks, USAmericans treated us like shit. Being French online, even on Tumblr, was hard, and it made it to the national news the way USAmericans spoke of the attacks. We were grieving, and USAmericans laughed at us or blamed us. Even still today, when those attacks are brought up, USAmericans tell us we deserved it. People, innocents, not even all French, from all religious background, deserved to die because we authorize sacrilege. (btw, multiple attacks targeted the Jewish community and were antisemitic, but y'all so-called leftists don't care if you can be against France. Also, the gov at the time immediately said that Muslims were the second victims of the attacks.)
You want people to be nice to you? Then learn to be nice to others.
Btw, half of the bs I talked about is present in the tags USAmericans have left on this post.
"wow smericans are so shitty because [something we have no control over] [something we have no control over] [really blatant fatphobia] [something we have no control over] [antiblackness] [antiblackness] [antiblackness] [anti-indigenousness] [something we have no control over] [more fatphobia] [anti immigration sentiment]"
#USAmericans stop acting better than everyone and like you are a victim challenge#I literally cannot be French online without being harassed with the we hate French bs and it's tiring#y'all don't know shit shut the fuck up#Y'all eat the anti-France propaganda because of 9/11 up it's incredible#learn to have some responsibility and stop blaming Europe#you're bad because of yourself grow up#btw this feeling do not apply to countries who were colonized europe did and still is making things awful#but the USA are not a colonized country they are colonizers#I'm not making friends with this post but I'm tired of how many USAmericans acting all-mighty and playing victims I have to see on the dail#like they aren't awful to others all the damn time

Hi, yalls. It's @protokirby. Got me a simsfileshare account so I'm gonna start publicly sharing my sims cc. All my successes were graciously given to me by the Lord God of heaven, who gives me strength. I thank Him for the motivation and stuff I have to do all this
I'm having this sideblog under my @au-drayton-shenanigans account because I unfairly block people sometimes on my main account and I don't want to prevent those folks from being able to use this stuff if they play the sims 4. I don't intend to block anyone on this account unless they're actively deserving of it. (such as bullies, or people who break my listed rules).
I mostly do model conversions and recolors of existing sim outfits. Rarely do I have the motivation to construct something. I plan to take requests. Feel free to request stuff. If you want a model from a game converted and if I can find the model somewhere/if you provide a model, I might try to turn it into sims cc for ya. My mental disorders/life stuff may heavily delay things but I do like to do things for folks if I can.
Plenty of my cc stuff has an additional color swatch with inverted colors because I wanted those. Sometimes there are more additional color swatches than that for various reasons.
If any of my cc is weird/broken in the game, let me know. I'm kinda dumb so I won't always know how to fix things, but I can try!
Terms of use:
Don't claim as your own. Don't try and sell any of it anywhere. And absolutely don't do anything related to ai stuff. That's the trashiest of trash. (I heard sims cc can be messed with in ai things. Dunno if that's true or not but just in case. DO NOT.)
Aside from the rules listed above, there are no other rules unless specified in a post. Have fun. You can even recolor stuff and post those recolors somewhere if you want (not on paysites) but please link to me if you do :D
List of tags and tag descriptions under the keep reading that will organize things and help people find things:

God, when Gabi talks about proving that the only Eldians left are "good" Eldians...
I want to reach through the screen, grab her, and tell her that there never were "good" and "bad" Eldians. In the eyes of oppressive groups, all those they oppress are "bad".
There are no "good" gays. No "good" trans folk. No "good" Jews. No "good" PoC. No "good" disabled, mentally ill, and neurodivergent people.
We're all "bad", Gabi. You can't prove yourself to them. They want someone to oppress. They want someone to hurt. They want someone to have power over and to blame all the world's ills on. Eradicating your own people to please them won't make you "good". If anything, it will make you a fucking threat.
I hope Isayama doesn't fumble this the way I think he's going to, because as is, this is actually a great condemnation of Gabi's line of thinking, because what did Fay do to deserve her fate? How was she a "bad" Eldian? How was Grisha, just for wanting to see an airship? What made them "bad" Eldians? Nothing, and yet they were made to suffer. Because it was interesting to a single Marleyan. Because the oppressor doesn't see the oppressed as human.
Isayama Hajime, don't you dare make this a "both sides are big meanies :(" situation. Don't you fucking do that to me. That had better not by why everyone hated the ending to your manga, Isayama Hajime. I need you to be a bro. I need you to pull through. I need you to not paint oppressed peoples as equally as bad as their oppressors. DON'T FUCKING DO IT.

Number 5 and 6 for the Love your Fandom ask game!
✨ love your fandom asks ✨ [Accepting]
5. something you see in fics a lot and love
I've read a handful of my Fav ships fics and for the most part, I was very pleased to read through people's ideas for the characters' past/upbringings/etc.
I'm already a huge fan of expanding on the canon, and I forgot how much I enjoyed seeing other folks' ideas.
Bonus points for all the Habikiki fics that make reference or establish parallells to Aldemu, those are MY favorites <3 ngl it makes me want to draw some habikiki scenes out of those fics.
6. something you see in art a lot and love
Aldebaran deserves all the love in this world. And I absolutely LOVE seeing people's different takes on him. I've seen fanarts that give him a more African heritage, while others try to give him a more indigenous tone to him. I also don't mind it when people stick to his blond manga's look.
The series never specified from what region Aldebaran is from, and seeing how us (Brazil) are a hotpot of crossbreeding (hopefully this is the right word). All of Aldebaran's looks ARE possible.

I always wonder why the mcu keeps trying to push their peggy carter oc,like I understand characters aren't always going to be comic accurate and can be changed for better or worse. But what the mcu did with peggy is so weird to me
Staring off with the fact that she takes inspiration from a nazi spy , they even said so themselves she just doesn't take inspiration form Cynthia tho most of he likable traits are from other characters as well.
Going back to the Cynthia glass thing it's also uncomfortable that this peggy is also an alternate version of captain america even though they call her captain carter you can't escape the fact that she's supposed to be an alternate version of captain america.
I can understand wanting to make an alternate version of cap but why would you use the character that you've stated has taken inspiration from a nazi spy to represent a Jewish symbol who was made to fight nazis and for the oppressed it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
Thanks for the ask and sorry for the late reply!
I think the superhero genre, much like the Japanese equivalent of the shounen genre, is about power fantasies. That doesn't necessarily make them inherently trite or egocentric, though. A sensitive and knowledgeable writer can construct a power fantasy for marginalised folks, even those they are not a part of, and that's what people are asking for when they talk about "representation". People from all walks of life deserve an inspirational story and a power fantasy to project onto, to say that despite the barriers placed by society, it is still possible to fight against the restrictions and carve out a special identity for yourself. In a lot of the better written superhero stories, their powers are presented as something that is both a blessing and a curse/threat, and the story is about them accepting that difference and turning that into something good - as opposed to, often, their villains, who turn that into something used for bad.
And I think that's the key difference. Comics/manga are written for kids/adults who feel like they don't fit in (maybe manga especially, because of how suffocating Japanese society can be about fitting the norm). The fantasy lies in social odd-balls embracing their own uniqueness and doing good in spite of the world shunning them.
Once super-powered concepts hit Hollywood, the meaning changes. The writers are now (in general) people in positions of influence and affluence. They are confident in who they are, and in fact, they yearn to stand above the ilk. The power fantasy completely changes flavour - instead of an outcast learning to be happy with who they are, it is now about how a "normal" person gains something special that elevates them above the boring average folk.
The problem is - the former is usually sensitive to the struggles of marginalised folk ("we are different but we can be amazing"), while the latter is ignorant and self-serving ("I am amazing because I am not like other girls"). And because of the type of fantasy it is, it is not interested in exploring power as a potential flaw or a burden, it is simply about the celebration of strength.
This is all a long-winded way of saying, yes, PC is a power fantasy for a particular group of women - the middle-classed, primarily White, well-educated women, who do not want to be like other girls. She had to be made special at all costs - the private school/college education, the brother in MI6, the Howlies, the boxing champion, the directorship, and now finally the serum and the shield.
The implications didn't matter because the writers didn't care. She's their hero, this is a fantasy, and who cares if she recruited Nazis on her way to the top or that she wears a colonial symbol on her chest. Who knows, they (the writers) may even think of that as representation of her strength.
Remember how I said earlier how the heroes take their powers and make it into something good, while the villains use their strength and use it to do something bad? Welp.

Please allow me a little manga shoutout~
I just found out that the English edition of Iki Dekinai no wa Kimi no Sei (which I am reading in Japanese) by Zeniko Sumiya has been out for a while already as Breathless Momentum!
(I also haven't heard of any translations scandals, so here is hoping this isn't going to come biting me like OtoTsuku did.)
I feel like the author and their works deserve some mention:
They appear to really be set on to dwarf those old trodden uke/seme expectations, as well as its conflation with the top/bottom stereotypes. It happens in all of their BL works, and they once said on twitter that they don't like people/characters be seen as uke/seme, but also mentioned the woes and dilemma over tags out of a sales perspective to make readers pick the works up. So sounds like a very aware, intentional choice.
They don't do your usual explicit bed scenes. The tweet of theirs makes it sound a lot like they are also going out of their way to avoid them as part of the uke/seme trope avoidance. Which is, I think, a really bold stance, given that some subjectively perceived 90% of the BL manga genre lives from being literal porn.
That being said, they don't go the forced sanitized sex negative, innocent-pure fluff instead either. Physical attraction and intimacy is very much a thing for their characters to deal with, and it gets very much shown. Some of their adult characters are depicted as quite horny for and palpably in it for wanting to bone each other on the regular. All the while, it never goes porny. Which seems to be a pretty darn noteworthy skill, given how rare works like that exist out in the wild.
Sometimes some visual allegories for the spice get employed, and I thought them to be quite hilarious.
They also like to have their characters get to have healthy conversions about themselves quite quickly, or have side characters pushing them to have them. Admittedly, especially in Breathless, it sometimes comes at the costs that the climax comes off as a bit anticlimactic. As in, "That was all it took? So simple?" And then to stop for a moment and go "Sure, so simple if folks actually TALKED." (Which another subjectively perceived 90% of all romance never seem to manage.)
Some titles went to be about couples in already in a relationship, so it goes and explores some domestic settings. (Also very rare in romance in general.)
What I personally also think is interesting is how some of their works has protagonists being "sexual deviants" (the characters' own words). Like in Breathless both main characters get the hots from playing music, and it gets more intense the better the performance gets. Usually any sort of such deviancy tends to be framed as something creepy, shameful or something to cringe over or is abused as a throwaway joke. This series instead rolls with it with a sense of practicality that is used in a comedic way, but doesn't feel like it's judging, and later chapters in the Japanese release even pick it back up as something they have, always will have and need to live with.
(The author also has a fantasy GL work called 5 Seconds Before a Witch Falls in Love that's also been released in English. It dodges your typical Yuri tropes, but is imo a bit too short story-styled (it also has two completely separate narratives collected in there) to really go anywhere in terms of fleshed out character development.)
I also haven't heard of any translations scandals, so here is hoping this isn't going to come back biting me like OtoTsuku did. 💦
Ooo thanks for the rec, I'll check it out. I just finished I Cannot Reach You and I have to say I found it a bit boring. So I'm intersted in something new. I'll put Breathless Momentum on my watch list (right now there's no print edition and I don't read graphics in digital, so Imma haffa wait.)

I think what's funnier to me about the whole "Boyfriend is cringe" is that I'm pretty sure a good chunk of those critics were 100% on board w/ the Killing Stalking hate because how dare someone make a HORROR comic about two gay characters being mentally unstable while Boyfriend is just about boring but well adjusting and caring gay dudes dating like normal people. That thing they wanted gay media to BE in the first place.
*deep seething breath*
So. Plenty of people who have followed me for a long while know about the... let's just call them strong... At the time feelings I had concerning KS.
I don't think that KS is... Good. I was of the mindset that it was perpetuating overdone tropes in M/M manga/manwha.
However! It is very much a case of different strokes for different folks. If you like it, that's fine. If people have issues with it, that's fine. No one deserves to be harassed over something that people can toss out an opinion on and move one with their lives. No one needs someone threatening self-harm over you disagreeing with their friend about KS --
FUCK IT, I'm still bitter! I thought I had moved on but I'm still bitter. The person who pulled this shit, you know who you are! Suck a dick! I'm still going to be a bitter cunt over this. Did I go too far in riding the dick of 'some gay men find it offensive so its bad'? Yes! Yes I did and I acknowledge my issues in that whole mess. That is the kind of shit that reeks of fanpol rhetoric and the whole 'some people find this fiction bad so people who create it/like it are bad' is a shitty perspective on media that is plaguing all of us right now!
But the fact that the certain incident in question went to that extent was beyond shit! This is why, even though I'm pro fucked-up media and will defend it to death, I don't even think about KS.
Fuck, why did this ask make me remember this...

Thanks for that one post calling out the fact that I////H has been bullying us since the ending and are trying to flip the narrative, don't forget, them raising death and strawberry website caused the creator to close it down, ruining a safe space for us.
And the fact they bullied us off of the bleach subreddit, which you can still find post of them doing so.
Has some did get bullied when they did nothing wrong? Yeah, but a good chunk of those who picked at us never got bullied and we're just being asses because they're canon. Funny how this is the same fanbase who tried to say we're a vocal minority of the shipping fanbase, and now the new narrative is that we're not and were the fanbases huge bullies? Pick a problem and stick with it
Yep
I've been seeing this a lot and... that NEVER happened.
If you look at polls way back then, I//H was at the BOTTOM
GrimmIchi, IshiIchi, UraIchi, IchiIchi (Ichigo x Hollow Ichigo), ByaIchi, RenIchi, and whatever the name is for Aizen x Ichigo were all more popular than I//H. As for Orihee ships, UlquiHime was always #1, followed by IshiHime. The fact is they were never popular in the grand scheme of things and were quite disliked. The problem is most people who liked Bleach back when it was popular, eventually left the fandom altogether, so they cannot provide their point of view about the situation, but they would consider it laughable.
In fact, let's just look at ao3 and ff.net and look at the amount of fanfics that feature I//H vs any other ship. And you'll notice they're not at the top. If I remember correctly, GrimmIchi had the most fics in ao3.
But suddenly because they're canon, none of that happened, they were always #1, IRs were bullies, they were saints, and always meant to happen. Because accepting they were basically at the bottom of ships would mean that their canon pairing was not only unpopular but also not well-written. So badly written, a lot of people either didn't see it coming or compare to other underdevelop ships in other shounen manga. Or the saying that it's only canon because of Orihee's big boobs (this is something that people said back in 2016 comparing the situation to N/aruto when it ended with him marrying H/inata.)
I'd let it slide as their only win (because, really, they have like 1 chapter and that's it), but I can't ever forget their bullying and death threats, particularly when I know for a fact it drove some people suicidal and they did some shitty things like wishing other people's babies would die, were extremely racist to some folks, stole fanfiction, harrassed IR artists to make them draw them I//H fanart, and their blatant misogyny (saying men prefer submissive women with big breasts over women with other personalities and body types), etc. Like, they legit made me cry one day when I wasn't doing so well mentally.
They don't deserve their position as victims when 9 times out of 10, a lot of them were bullies. Let's also not forget that IRs weren't their only victims. They also harrassed people that shipped mlm pairings featuring Ichigo, particularly GrimmIchi. That will never be okay, whatever your feelings towards the ships involved.

So does Kishi officially hate NH and SS? Because I can't help but think like that when I see them in Boruto. Like no way he wants them to be seen as happy or content. Also, it seems like he still hates Sakura because just just look at her, she hasn't really changed. Her dynamic with Sasuke hasn't really changed. She gives chase, Sasuke ignores. Except Sasuke looks more depressed.
Hey, after fifteen years of us chasing after the story and characters we invested in so much, at least give us some indication that they are least happy after sooo many sacrifices, like they deserve that happiness.
But no, if anything, they seem totally miserable. What made Kishi do that? Yes, he can't show them ooc, but Sasuke marrying Sakura is already ooc. Naruto being a bad father is already ooc. Like why go to the extent of showing Sasuke trying not to touch Sakura and pointedly showing that they never kissed? That's just like a determined effort on Kishi's part to show that their marriage is not working. Naruto works way more than any of his predecessors and sleeps in the office or couch so as not to disturb Hinata, when Hinata is specifically designed to accommodate anything that Naruto might require.
Don't get me wrong, I think Boruto is trash. But I am still in interested in SNS in Boruto because that's still canon. Just makes me wonder how Kishi will finally conclude SNS, because their bond still shows clearly in Boruto. Do you think he will kill them any time soon?
Good ask, Anon☺️☺️❤️❤️
Before answering this, I am going to tell you that I don’t watch Boruto. But I know what happened so far, vaguely. Like, Gaiden arc, Karma seal, Kawaki adoption, Kurama’s death, loss of Rinnegan, Time travel arc. Anyways, I might have missed many interactions between Sasuke & Sakura in the filler episodes or other canonical episodes. I would be happy If you send me an episode list or timestamps in where they interact, so that it saves my time instead of me, watching that entire shit show.
So does Kishi officially hate NH and SS?
In this post, I dissected SS from a non-SNS perspective. It seems Kishi went all out of his way to make their interactions too insincere, blunt and toxic. I mean Sasuke’s absolute lack of interest in her was very evident even until chapter 693. That is right before, their final VoTE fight. And even after Sakura comes to heal their injuries, he just said ‘Ummmm..... I guess Sorry’...
Kishi could have made Sasuke say some corny shit to Sakura like how he felt bad inside for hurting her, how he missed her, wiping her tears or whatever (Puke!!!! 🤮🤮🤮). Because in the previous chapter, Sasuke basically confessed to Naruto internally about how he felt about Naruto when he was a child. Kishi could have done the same for Sakura in just 4, 5 panels. But anyways, my point is, Kishi’s moment to salvage that ship is chapter 699.
But he didn’t.
Did Kishi tried to build their bond after marriage?
He definitely could’ve. But he didn’t.
This shows his clear distaste in SS.
As for NH, Kishi is indifferent. He neither hates them nor loves them. Kishi created Hinata as a pairing fodder and she still is.
Also, it seems like he still hates Sakura because just just look at her, she hasn't really changed. Her dynamic with Sasuke hasn't really changed. She gives chase, Sasuke ignores. Except Sasuke looks more depressed.
Hmmm, I don’t know whether Sasuke hates her, anon. Again, maybe I’ve missed those parts. But when he looks at her, it’s always filled with regrets and an urge to avoid her (like Itachi avoided Sasuke, but for totally sad and genuine reasons).
But this again begs the question, ‘Why feeling regret or hesitant even after 12 years?’.
Believe me anon, Love/Bonds/Understanding can happen at anytime of your life. From where I come from, not everyone marries out of love. Arranged marriages are common. But still, many couples make effort and work out their difference, and find love. Kishi could’ve done the same for SS too.
Is Sasuke that heartless? No.
He was once a boy who bear hugged his brother every time Itachi comes back from the Academy. Itachi’s presence itself made Sasuke so happy.
Did he become heartless after the massacre? Also no.
Even after the trauma, Sasuke just became aloof and cold. But he always becomes a child who can pout, be silly, becomes animated, bicker around Naruto. So, he can be lovely, but only around the people he choose by himself.
Still, Sakura is not that person. So, he looks like he is depressed and wants to escape from her at any given chance because of a certain guilt.
What made Kishi do that? Yes, he can't show them ooc, but Sasuke marrying Sakura is already ooc. Naruto being a bad father is already ooc. Like why go to the extent of showing Sasuke trying not to touch Sakura and pointedly showing that they never kissed? That's just like a determined effort on Kishi's part to show that their marriage is not working.
To answer, this goes way back, anon.
Kishi is a person who prefers to write love through intense friendship, sensei-student dynamics and brotherhood. He can occasionally write cute and sweet romance but it can only be short like 2 or 3 pages... or a chapter, max. He can’t go on doing it for 70 chapters for romance. Which was evident from Minato & Kushina, Dan & Tsunade, Obito & Rin.
But the real deal of Naruto manga is the bond between Naruto and Sasuke. The bond between Itachi and Sasuke also played a huge role in this series. And then comes Hashirama and Madara, Jiraiya and Naruto, Kakshi and Obito, Kakashi and Naruto and many more. So, Kishi pretty much gave an ending he wanted for a long time in chapter 699. He successively pulled off a great manga without corny and shitty romance but with just friendship and brotherhood alone. He didn’t give two shits about NH or SS before chapter 700.
Naruto series’ another success lies on it’s characters tragic backstories. I simply loved them all and most of them made me cry.
Kishi wanted to move on from Naruto.
But then Money played a big part. Naruto series can be milked in a lot of ways. Editors wanted all the characters to become some baby making dolls. So you have to create pairings. Based on the popularity polls, they decided NH and SS.
In my opinion, Sasuke is a goal-oriented person. He is a wanderer who works on his own accords. Ever since he left Konoha when he was 13, that was his path, so you can’t make him stay in one place. At every stage of his life, he had different goals.
At age 8-15, he had one goal. To kill Itachi. Can he have a romance here? Nope.
At age 16, his goal is to destroy Konoha. No chance of romance in that dark path.
At age 17, he wanted to Revolutionize the shinobi system. Since he wanted to be alone for that goal, no possibility of romance.
At age 18, he adopted Naruto’s dream as his own. To make all shinobi cooperate and look out for Kaguya remains. Romance cannot happen here as he was constantly wandering around and he prefers to work alone.
This is how Kishi designed Sasuke’s character throughout.
Now all of a sudden, if you ask Kishi to go OOC by asking him to write corny romance for his favorite character Sasuke just for the sake of making him relevant to Boruto series, what will he do?
Since Boruto is a series which is a sequel to Naruto, you pretty much know everyone’s backstory. Those 12 year old New Gen kids possibly can’t have tragic stories like Naruto or Sasuke.
Kishi being a troller, used this opportunity to create a piss poor sob story for Sarada by making Sasuke as an absentee father and an unloving husband.
He created a sad story for Sarada and he gets to shit on SS ship. Two birds, One stone!!!!
Now, Sasuke being an unloving husband is OOC ? Nope. He was never a marriage material in the first place. So he is perfectly in-character.
Sasuke being an absentee father is OOC? No and Yes. No, because it’s the effect of the cause I mentioned above. Yes, because unlike Naruto, Sasuke once had a father. He can try to reach her out now and often. but he prefers not to do instead he cares more about Boruto. LOL.
Sasuke being not family oriented is OOC? Nope. He is a goal oriented person. His goal is same as Naruto’s dream. He will go to any extent to fulfill it, even at the expense of his family’s happiness. Because that’s what he learnt from Itachi. What Itachi taught him was, even at the expense of his own happiness and Sasuke’s trauma, he preferred Konoha and Shinobi World’s peace. That’s what Sasuke is doing now.
Naruto works way more than any of his predecessors and sleeps in the office or couch so as not to disturb Hinata, when Hinata is specifically designed to accommodate anything that Naruto might require.
As for Naruto,
I think it’s very funny. And I guess, I know why.
Just like Sasuke, Naruto is also a goal oriented person.
Remember, in that Boruto movie, Sasuke knocks Naruto’s door at the midnight?
Imagine if Naruto opened the door.
Sasuke will be like, ‘Alright mothafucka!!! I wanted to die in the VoTE itself. You wanted me in your dream world. Am working my ass off for your stupid dreams and trying to reach you without even meeting my own family. And yet here you are, sleeping well and sound. Am just gonna Chidori you!!!’ LOL.
I think you get my point.
If you make Sasuke to be an hardworker, then Naruto must work even hard to fulfill his dream. So you possibly can’t have Naruto playing duet with Himata or whatever trash.
So kishi pulled his Two birds, One Stone for NH here!!!
In short, Kishi gets to make his New generation shine through this pathetic sob stories and at the same time, kept his favorite characters without going OOC.
So, it’s a polite way of Kishi showing middlefinger to SS and NH for making him do this. He is saying, ‘Alright folks, you wanted this all along. But this is what you will get!!!’.
Just makes me wonder how Kishi will finally conclude SNS, because their bond still shows clearly in Boruto. Do you think he will kill them any time soon?
I think about this all the time. How will they end?? How will they die??
Now, don’t think I am some sadist for wanting them to die. I am just being practical and honest here. This is a new generation series. Of course, at some point, Naruto and Sasuke has to die for the sake of character development. And I will be happy if they die because I don’t like their miserable portrayal in Boruto at all.
Naruto series has a pattern when it comes to death portrayal. Meaningful characters (except Neji) always die protecting someone/something they cherish. Jiraiya died for Naruto, Yahiko died for Konan & Nagato, Itachi died for Sasuke & Konoha, Haku died for Zabuza, Obito (younger) died for Kakashi & Rin and so on.
Ever since Naruto became Hokage, his death is pretty much plastered on his head. He will die protecting Konoha just like all the Hokages from First to Fourth who sacrificed their life for Konoha.
But Sasuke???
I am going to say he will die protecting Naruto or the village. But for Naruto mostly. Either way, Sasuke will die first.
Dying for Naruto, the reasons are crystal clear. He already died protecting Naruto once in the Zabuza arc. He will never hesitate to do it again. Which was evident from the way he told Naruto in the Boruto movie while giving his Susanoo, ‘If they capture the real you, then everything is gone’. Somewhere in Boruto Manga chapter 38 (I don’t remember properly), Sasuke was yelling at Naruto, ‘If you are gone, it’s pretty hopeless’ and was praying ‘Naruto, don’t you die’.
So it’s pretty much Sasuke saying to Naruto, ‘I’ll protect you, You protect everyone’
But why the village?? Why will Sasuke die for Konoha which caused him so much pain?? I know anti-konoha stans wont like this, but that’s the reality.
It seems many Sasuke fans never paid attention to his character. After hearing the story from all the Hokages, Sasuke said, ‘I will not let Itachi’s life and this village into nothing’. He really meant it. Because for Sasuke, Itachi was more precious. Itachi died saying, ‘I’ll have protected my village as Uchiha Itachi of Konoha once again. I have no more regrets’. Sasuke wanted to respect his brother’s wish finally and that’s why he openly claimed in the battlefield, ‘I am going to protect Konoha and become it’s Hokage’. Sasuke’s another precious person is Naruto. He is the Hokage now.
Don’t you think Sasuke will die protecting something Itachi and Naruto values so much??
He even claimed it openly in Boruto Manga. ‘I would die anytime for Konoha, as has your dad (Naruto)’
Sasuke even said to Boruto, “I will stop you even if I have to kill you”. And do you think Sasuke is just pouring out some empty words??? Sasuke will not let Boruto to turn into an Otsutsuki monster and destroy the village.
Like I said, Sasuke will go out first. And eventually Naruto will follow him. Or they both die protecting the village together. I don’t see them dying for their wives or children. Because, their relationship with their family is not too strong and their ambitions are far beyond their own families.
Maybe for this reason, Kishi is trolling NH and SS in Boruto. LOL.
Naruto’s bond with Sasuke was formed even before his birth, when Kushina asked the 3 month old Baby Sasuke to be friends with Naruto.
However, One thing is for sure. One will not live very long without the Other or Both will die together. That’s how their bond should end.
