#top 10 fav servant list

[kordyceps]

OK I mean obviously I'm reading your steter stuff on AO3 but I'd love to know if you have an all time favourite? Either your fave of your own work, or fave of another author's that you rec/reread/still think about a million years later (or both lol)

Oh man, okay, sorry for taking so long to reply to this ask! But it's such a good one and I unfortunately have the memory of a gold fish, so I needed to do Research™ (aka reread all my favs again lmao) so I could answer it properly. 😂

I only have one Steter fic of my own atm, so I guess that's my de facto personal fav for now…

But as for other folks' work, god, there are sooooo many great Steter fics out there!! So these are just a handful of my top favs, and definitely not a comprehensive list!

Five Times Peter and Stiles Troll the Pack by taylorpotato Rating: M | 2.5k | requires an AO3 account to read Stiles and Peter yell at each other in Polish, misleading the pack into think they're fighting, when in reality it's all just like completely fuckin' filthy dirty talk lmao. Short, but very funny, and such a perfect capture of their mischievous dynamic. 10/10, would recommend!

The Devil You Know by Twisted_Mind Rating: E | 11.6k Peter is there for Stiles when no one else is, and uses that to slowly manipulate his way into earning Stiles' explicit trust. And ooooh boy, is it so delicious and spicy. God damn! Cards on the table: this fic definitely won't be for everyone since it wades into some darker waters. But oh my god do I love love LOVE Peter's characterization in it. God, I feel like I could write a whole damn essay about this fic, but then I'd just end up spoiling the whole thing LOL. Just--if you like darker, manipulative Peter and enjoy your sweetness just a wee bit twisted, then 10/10 would recommend!

The Prince and the Pease by luulapants Rating: E | 47k | requires an AO3 account to read Medieval/Royalty AU where Peter is forced to cede his claim to the throne and become a "guest" of King Deucalion's as part of a peace treaty between the two kingdoms. Stiles, who is suspiciously far too mouthy for your average servant, is gifted to Peter as a bedwarmer. This one does such an incredible, masterful job at translating the characters into its setting and time period. The sass, the wit, the wordplay! You can definitely tell the author knows their shit, and my god is it fantastic. The plot itself is also so satisfying -- lots of great ups and downs, and, ugh, just so good! (Be sure to read p2 for the full ending btw!) Needless to say, 10/10, would recommend!

Keeping him (It's all about intent) by sittinginmytincan Rating: M (& E for oneshot sequel) | 121k Stiles winds up slingshotted into his own future, where it turns out he's married to Peter Hale of all people. His only way back is with Lydia's help, but she's gone mysteriously missing somewhere on the east coast while investigating some strange disappearances. Man, this fic….. I feel like the writer for this one must have received a checklist of things I'm into and decided to mark nearly every single one of them lol. Time travel, woke up married, magical theory, an enthralling af plotline -- and it's so thorough. Like, everything is so incredibly well thought out, the characterization is on point, and the development of Stiles and Peter's relationship is just chef kiss. Definitely 10/10, would recommend!

The Striking Complication by aurevell Rating: T | 118k I don't even want to write a summary up for this one because the mystery of it all and peeling back what's happening piece by piece is, imo, the best way to experience it. This story is intense as fuck, near relentlessly oppressive, and impossible to put down. It keeps you constantly at the edge of your seat as you try to figure out what is going on and how Peter and Stiles will survive it, with these heart-wrenchingly sweet breather moments sprinkled throughout. If you enjoy time loop stories, this one is an absolute must read! 10/10, would recommend!

build-a-beau by veterization Rating: E | 41.5k Tired of his dad always worrying about him being single, Stiles decides to pay for a fake boyfriend service so he can finally get his pops off his back about it. It goes about as well as one can expect a fake texting boyfriend you accidentally catch real feelings for can go lmao. This fic is wonderfully witty, with really fantastic banter between the two of them, and it's just so very fun getting to watch the pretend part of their exchanges slip more and more into something genuine. 10/10, would recommend!

Under the Songbird's Wing by mia6363 Raing: E | 87k Stiles is captured and held in captivity alongside Peter, Deucalion, and Satomi Ito. To survive, Stiles runs through lacrosse drills and tells stories, eventually persuading his fellow cellmates out of their shells and establishing a profound, unbreakable bond between them. This one is HEAVY, folks. Like, heavy heavy. But, god, it's also such a beautiful exploration of the characters and the bonds they develop through shared captivity. I don't even know what more to say, really, it's just haunting and lovely and awful and wonderful all at once. In the mood for something that hurts? Then 10/10, would recommend!

[tequila-starlight]

*slams door open* HELLO I HAVE COME FROM THE RECENT FIC THANK YOU FOR THE FOOD i am practically vibrating in anticipation for kinich to get that tribal chief quartet (or triad this time ig wayna isnt participating 😒) pipe in him

kinich being edged at the end and wayna cutting him off before he can really get into it was so saucy 100/10

i always love the way you write smut and am very happy you are in the fandom god bless

on an unrelated note: do you play any other hoyoverse/gacha games? if so, who are your favs there?

Anon, I’m giving you the biggest, silliest grin right now THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS ❤️❤️❤️ I’m so, SO happy to feed you and learn that you enjoyed it 🥰🥰🥰

I’m essentially a Kinich blog at this point HAHAHA I swear I’ll write for other people too!! Just not today… or tomorrow… or the day after that… I can’t help it okay!! With Kinich the ideas just cum come so naturally!!!

Rest of response below cut! Warning that it’s pretty long!!

I’m afraid if Wayna got in on the action as well I’ll never upload it because of how LONG it’ll get 🤣 Or maybe before I can upload the story Genshin updates and reveals the Collective of Plenty’s chief who’s some hot guy with the biggest dick ever or something, and I’ll end up putting off on uploading to quadruple my word count again—

But hey! Wayna just said he wouldn’t fuck Kinich! Not that he wouldn’t be watching or, ahem, contributing a little (You see the effect his mouth and hands has on Kinich already)… Wayna has his reasons for not wanting to do it in front of the others, which Kinich will wrench out of him soon enough!! I’m really glad you liked the edging HAHA considering how much Kinich bullies his chief he shouldn’t have been surprised that Wayna retaliated!!

I’m always super grateful and happy to receive kind messages like yours, Anon. It’s like a shot of dopamine straight to my head 😆 So thank you for taking your time to write this!!!

Regarding other games, so far I’m only playing Genshin Impact! It’s a huge time sink + requires quite a bit of commitment, so I don’t really play anything else. I am aware of other games though! Usually through summaries from my friends but I do read the plot + watch cutscenes and dialogue for parts I’m interested in!

As my Fandom List states, I’m familiar enough with Honkai Star Rail to talk about it! I’m also familiar with Zenless Zone Zero, but to a much lesser extent. I’m super indecisive over picking favourites because I love all of them, and having a bunch of Star Rail ships makes it even harder…

If I had, HAD to pick, for HSR, my favourite will probably be Jing Yuan or Sunday (Who work amazingly together in a gameplay sense, funnily enough, or so I heard)!

Jing Yuan’s attitude is absolutely lovely to see, and he’s essentially a catboy in my books with his :3 expression and how languid he is! It helps that my man is also a walking magnet for doomed gay ships HAHAH

Sunday has the most compelling story + motivations for me at the moment! His trailer also hits so incredibly hard that I did standing ovation once I finished watching it 😆

Honourable mentions go to Boothill and Sampo!! Boothill’s animations and speech is top tier and I also love his optimistic attitude even in the face of adversity!! Sampo is Sampo so I don’t think I need to elaborate further HAHA he is the best clown ever!! Also Welt Yang because I love old men…

There’s so many people I like that I can’t mention!!! If not I’ll just be listing out everyone in the damn hand HAHA

I know less about ZZZ so the particular stand out here will be Lycaon! It’s HILARIOUS seeing the sheer amount of people he’s singlehandedly turning into furries. I don’t blame them, honestly, his design, animations, and personality is so beautiful!!!

I also really, REALLY love the fact that he’s the leader of his group. Most people tend to forget that butlers are often the head of other servants in a household, and not just the servant answering directly to the employers. So seeing focus on the managerial aspects of a butler is super refreshing!!

Seth’s super cute and he gets bonus points for actUALLY BEING A CATBOY??? (I’m still salty about Lyney… Genshin when will you give us a proper catboy we already have 3+ catgirls PLEASE) The Tom and Jerry reference he and Jane has going on is hilarious too HAHA

Honourable mentions go to Billy, Ben and Lighter. Watching Billy is weirdly satisfying with how bouncy he is, and Ben because I love the nonhuman designs in ZZZ. Lighter’s hot, no surprise there, with the cherry on top being that he’s the only man in a group called the “Sons of Calydon” HAHAHA

Phew, that got REALLY long there. I’m a huge chatterbox so I’m always happy to go off on a tangent HAHAHA Anyway, thank you once more for sending this!! If you actually read all of this, have some cake 🍰 🍰🍰

(I’m so sorry ladies I promise I love you too but I usually gravitate towards the male characters in waifu games… and the female characters in husbando games… what can I say I’m a contrarian HAHAHA)

UNKNOWN PLEASURES 01.25.2024

》 DJ: REED KAVANAH

This is gonna be long but fuck it: people of Chattanooga, you're so goddamn lovely. I'm genuinely grateful that I get to look forward to Unknown Pleasures every month now, it's worth every minute of the drive from Nashville - I'm on my laptop so I can't use emojis, but imagine all the sappy ones right here, because you're all gorgeous.

The list specifies what the performers danced to. It's all their own picks, besides a couple fill-ins - they got skills and amazing taste to boot (I'm lucky to have heard some synth music Phoenix is working on and it slaps heavily).

Also, here's a SoundCloud mix excerpted from the middle of the live mix! Let me know if you want more of these.

I'll be joined by DJ THEOCULTT for our extra-cyberpunk event next month, and I'm stoked to finally be in town for their set (I've seen them go hard when I've played some of my own personal top-tier favs - this always warms my heart). Also, Ariel is coming back with an experimental piece combining her live performance with a music-video-style VHS piece my friend Julia and I shot with her (sounds complicated but I promise it's fun)... AND we've got CRT from Atlanta playing a sick live industrial/body set. Be sure to check out CRT's label, DKA Records - they're based in Atlanta, but they put out great electronic music from all over the world, and you'll almost certainly find something interesting (like FUEDAL, whose track "Movin" you heard on Thursday).

One last thing: R.I.P. Luis Vasquez, Juan Mendez, and Simone Ling. They were massive losses to music, gone for tragic reasons. Do your thing, but please be safe and carry naloxone. DIY music is in dire straits, and we can't afford to lose any more of the beautiful, sensitive people who keep it going - there's work to do and shows to see.

Can't wait to see y'all again.

xoxo,

-R.K.

P.S: There's a requests board by the booth now - I can't play 'em all but I like to know what you like, so hit me! Apologies to whoever requested Boy Harsher's "Motion," cuz I accidentally played "Electric" instead lol - I have a BH setlist hanging on the wall behind me as we speak... I've committed a sin against Jae and Gus... but I shall atone next month, bet.

[hirazuki]

I AM LATE BUT BACK, sorry work ate my life |D but yes! camelot movies are a bit different; mostly in order of events and dialogue and how certain events happen, not the big stuff, but some stuff is shuffled around and altered for time purposes. i'm pretty sure they also added mordred vs sanzang in the second one, that wasn't in the game. but it's still good! it's very very good, it's just a bit edited down etc because they crammed a whole chapter into 2 ovas rather than a whole 24 ep anime.

the extra anime does sound fun! i absolutely fucking adore Robin and Drake, so om nom nom more content for them is always wonderful, and i like nero's route in the game best so i'm glad it's her starring-- i should definitely check it out at some point once i finish apocrypha.

(i...am very early on into apocrypha. i need to finish that. i love everyone in it, they're all delightful. especially astolfo and achilles, though honorary mentions for karna and vlad.)

kojiro BALLS honestly he's really cool and i hope he gets more stuff in future events, we do get a 'gudaguda' historical japan event every year and i think they finally ran out of sengoku shenanigans, so maybe he'll get to star in a future one? here's hoping he deserves it (or maybe he'll be in that new koei tecmo game, since musashi is in it!)

you have excellent taste tbh, everyone on that list is amazing, and i stan shishigou SO HARD you have no idea he's So Cool. waver too, i love him as small and dorky but also older and...still dorky. but hotter. Gil, Cu, Emiya, Robin, Merlin, and Dantes are some of my favs but honestly i can't name a servant i HATE 100% (okay yes i can, but that's just one of them XD)

No worries!! UGH I hate when that happens, I wish work was just. not a thing XD

Oh, yeah, that makes sense, with Babylonia they did a full anime season; I wish they had done the same for this, but I'll take what I can get! I don't really have the time/interest to explore the game chapter for myself, but I wonder if I could maybe find a let's play or something to watch, I'd be interested in seeing the content in full.

Haha, Apocrypha is also very differently structured in terms of Holy Grail War dynamics (14 servants on the field....... it's so many....) but I really, really liked it. Lots of pain, of course, but it's so well written and executed. Enjoy!! Astolfo is a gem <3 (Achilles I'm not a fan of, but I've never liked him in any form/media and idk why; I like to pretend we don't share heritage XD BUT that's just my personal taste and, as a Greek, the Apocrypha team did an absolutely excellent job with his portrayal! I honestly have zero complaints about how they've handled any of my culture's mythological/historical figures, they consistently produce some of the most intuitive and nuanced interpretations I've ever seen).

It's just my curse, always falling for the side characters with the least amount of screen time lmao. I hope so!! Fingers crossed! (though Musashi favoritism kind of abounds in sword/historical circles, so it that might not mean anything -- but I'll be very pleasantly surprised if he does turn out to be in it!!).

Lmao THANK YOU! You have excellent taste too, Gil is one of the best boys and Cu is amazing as well <3 Shishigou is just so badass (and a necromancer, so instant bonus points for me) and his attitude is so relatable, he'd be my number one pick for a Fate mentor figure, you know? YES I love both young Waver and older Waver, and can I say how much I adore that he's so completely and utterly out of shape? Wheezing when he runs? I love that about him XD

I haven't spent too much time with Robin and Dantes so I can't really say anything worthwhile other than they are awesome and I love their designs, but MERLIN is also a top choice, 10/10, he's absolutely irritating but also a delight and his relationship with Fou is one of the best things ever.

Same! There are definitely characters that I don't like, as in, they don't vibe with me, but no one who I dislike as a character in terms of their role/purpose in the story, everyone is extremely well written.

[fategranddisorder]

Who are your top 10 favorite fate servants?

EASY LET ME SHOW YOU MY SUPPORT LIST

I don't really have a no.1. because I just have a heap of favourites. Servants that speak to me personally, that made me cry in the story and ones that I know the stories of by heart.

But here we go!

Dantes

Achilles

Chiron

Karna

Arjuna (both versions)

Proto Arthur

Sherlock

Merlin

All the Cu

Robin Hood

Ah shit, those are already 10 🤣 and here I thought this was going to be easy. What a fool I was.

I have to give a special mention to Tristan!

I grew up with the legend of Tristan, even the cat that I had when I was a kid was called Tristan. I asked my dad to tell his stories so many times.

And the my obsession with the Arthurian lore started.

[tomorrowsdrama]

Hahahaha. Your lists never disappoint. I have another one. Top 10 loss-of-innocense scene. Theres a level of emotional whump that only few actors and actresses convey well when they are betrayed or they witness a brutality that changes them forever. And I'm excited to hear your favs

Oh anon, this ask is wonderful but terrible at the same time because I had to really dig deep and think about all the scenes that broke some of my favorite characters (and me).  Except for number 1, everything else is in no particular order.

1. This goes to Ni Ni as Feng Zhiwei in The Rise of Phoenixes. I can’t really pinpoint one particular scene because the entire drama is just an exercise in how to break down the originally naive and brilliant Zhiwei through the cruelty of the palace and the fight for the throne. My goodness, Ni Ni is as amazing at acting as she is beautiful and you could just see the light slowly fade in Zhiwei’s eyes as more and more of the people she loved died because of her. I mean…

2. When Teng Zijing dies and Fan Xian goes on a rampage trying to seek revenge in Joy of Life. This really is the turning point for Fan Xian and the drama and it goes from “haha look at my charmed life Fan Xian” to “I will literally kill a man in the streets to avenge my friend Fan Xian.”  The story always retains its humor but after Teng Zijing’s death, there’s an added sense of danger and gravitas as it becomes clear that that one character you loved so much could drop dead at any second for no discernable reason or fanfare.  Zhang Ruo Yun amazingly portrays the duality of happy-go-lucky Fan Xian “transmigrated from modern times” and “I’m not above psychological warfare to achieve what I want Fan Xian.”  

3. Dae Gil in Chuno transforming from a soft and sweet noble young master into a jaded rugged slave hunter after his entire family is killed in a fire.  I can’t complain though because his hot points went up by like 1,000 after he lost his “innocence” ahaha

4. When Yeon Kyung witnessed Heo Im having to lower himself to the nobleman in order to try to save the servant’s life and you can see when she finally realizes just how harsh the caste system is in Joseon society and that they’re not in Kansas anymore.  Bonus points for how heartbreaking it was to see the usually playful and good-natured Heo Im desperately plead for the servant’s life by degrading himself to appease the nobelman

5. When Byun Yo Han’s character in Six Flying Dragons helplessly watches as his childhood crush gets assaulted by a group of man and all he can do is hide because he is a literal child who is understandably too scared to do anything (and would not have been able to do anything).  And then he becomes a deadly warrior to try to make up for that one moment of weakness in his life that destroyed both his and his crush’s innocence.  Bonus points for Lee Bang Won (played by Yoo Ah In) slowly but surely losing his hero worship of his father and becoming more and more disillusioned and cutthroat to achieve his goal of founding a new kingdom.

6. My sweet bb Hwi from My Country the New Age getting screwed over by the world over and over again.  All he ever wanted was to have enough rice to feed himself and his sister but what did we get instead...

7. Wolf boy thinking he was betrayed and turning from a sweet and innocent wolf boy with abs into super fine and hot asshole Prince Bo who kills without remorse and then back again to his former good self while still retaining the hotness of the asshole Prince Bo.

8. Minglan was always a bit guarded and didn’t trust people much outside of her adopted grandma after her mother was killed in childbirth, but I feel like she completely lost all hope and expectation in people when Qi Heng broke his promise to her and let her down.

9. Want to see a man get broken down to the point where he’s just a ptsd laden husk of his former self?  Watch Lee Byung Hun in Iris.

10. This is reserved for Luo Jin in Royal Nirvana.  Have only watched 3 episodes but @dangermousie ‘s posts about it tell me there’s a lot of emotional whump and torture to look forward to and unfortunately, it doesn’t look like Luo Jin gets out unscathed.

4. A FOOD YOU COULD EAT FOREVER AND NOT GET BORED OF: Burgers, pizza and plenty of other fast food. I’m very much trash and easy to please-

5. A FOOD YOU HATE: There’s... plenty. Sadly I’m a very picky eater, but lots of fruits and vegetables I can’t as much as keep down, no matter how better I am at trying anything nowadays.

6. GUILTY PLEASURE: Being able to get up whenever I want from bed, really...

7. WHAT DO YOU SLEEP IN: Underwear and actual jammies when it’s cold, simple as that, it’s normally hot where I live down here for most of the year.

8. SERIOUS RELATIONSHIPS OR FLINGS: Serious! I think I’d never even get a chance at the latter even if I wanted to due to many reasons...

9. IF YOU COULD GO BACK IN THE PAST AND CHANGE ONE THING ABOUT YOUR LIFE, WOULD YOU AND WHAT WOULD IT BE: I’d make my 14 year old stand up for himself better regardless of what would have happened, it would have been better than to have risked almost doing something unspeakable to myself.

10. ARE YOU AN AFFECTIONATE PERSON: I like to say I am, especially if you start getting close to me and let me give that I don’t get to give to many, while obviosuly respecting boundaries, yeah, I like to think one can see all of my forms of affection and appreciation.

11. A MOVIE YOU COULD WATCH OVER AND OVER AGAIN: The Van Helsing movie from years back, I don’t know why. That and shamelessly the Saw movies, I just love them so much.

12. FAVORITE BOOK: Sadly I was never much of a book reader, but for some reason Diary of a Wimpy Kid stuck with me after I had to pick it for college reasons.

13. YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO KEEP ANY ANIMAL AS A PET, WHAT DO YOU CHOOSE: I don’t like getting too fancy with pets, so if I can have dog or cat (or both if they get along) at anytime I for sure will take them.

14. TOP FIVE FICTIONAL SHIPS [IF YOU ARE AN RP BLOG, YOU CAN USE YOUR OWN SHIPS AS WELL]: I’m not that much of a shipper myself, actually, but since I’m indeed an RP blog, I can be biased and mention the two major ships I have and write them off as my favs: Mukuro X Ragna (mcmcntomorii) and Amaterasu X Ragna (gilded-dawn). All the yes.

15. PIE OR CAKE: .Both! But I prefer cake more often than not.

16. FAVORITE SCENT: From certain odd street smells to the smell of cheap cart food or food in general, too many to list!

17. CELEBRITY CRUSH: Unsurprisingly, none.

18. IF YOU COULD TRAVEL ANYWHERE, WHERE WOULD YOU GO: Florida in the United States. And I wish I just could do it on the spot right now...

19. INTROVERT OR EXTROVERT: A bit of both nowadays, 

20. DO YOU SCARE EASILY: I want to say yes, but I’m better if I have company with whatever might be the case.

21. IPHONE OR ANDROID: Android. Easily.

22. DO YOU PLAY ANY VIDEO GAMES: Psh, of course. If I’m not grinding fighting games, I’m playing other things like Fate Grand Order or other things.

23. DREAM JOB: Anything I can easily apply my bilingual knowledge to without much issue.

24. WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH A MILLION DOLLARS: Do my darnest to secure a trip and more to the United States if possible and ensure it lasts for my family for quite a while.

25. FICTIONAL CHARACTER YOU HATE: Not hate but there’s just some Servants in FGO I rather not see anymore in reality, really. No naming names ‘cause I don’t wanna start any fires. (Just Servants that are popular enough or archtypes I don’t like, usual lame things.)

26. FANDOM THAT YOU WERE ONCE A PART OF BUT AREN’T ANY LONGER: Hmm, the general Persona fandom, I’d say? As if when I finally deactivated my Yu Narukami blogs after abandoning them for long enough wasn’t enough, even before then I really wasn’t part of it for a while.

tagged by: @clippingwings (Surprisingly, to me, actually-) tagging: @clock-corpse, @gilded-dawn, @mcmcntomorii, @muse-matrix, @betweenhumanandyoukai​, @genesisoul, @ohireath and anyone else who wishes to steal it, really.

Fate Grand Order 1st Anniversary 🎉🎉

So long I finally reached my first year of activity on FGO NA.

This year has been great. Even if not really for my luck. My gold servant count is 3 5* (one from GSSR) and 20 4* (welfares excluded). I have to say, I'm f2p except the GSSR whose I made only once on the 2nd Anniversary.

Here a tier list I made some time ago. The signed servants are those who I summoned recently.

My top 3 most wanted servants whose I spent and will spend more SQ are:

(lol is a pattern of green, red and blue like in a mainstream serie)

1. Enkidu - are a really strong Lancer, Buster NP and main Quick cards (my fav combo) also a die hard thanks to the skills. And my fav character so I don't care if they aren't a limited servant. If Enkidu are in rate up I'll roll ❤️ plz come home soon 💔

2.Gilgamesh - probably the strongest Archer, All Buster and AoR NP bonus damage to practically all the servants. Also a must have to complete the couple.

3. Arthur Proto - really strong Saber, all Buster and AoR NP with bonus damage against large size enemies. Also an husbando so a must have.

My biggest archived goal is my Merlin. Got him on his first rate up on the second 10 roll and is now 10/10/10 and also my first bond 10 servant ❤️❤️❤️

So I'm saving for Eresh and Abby (something like 150 SQ and 20 tickets for now). I know they will not come after Gramps gave me the biggest no... but I'll try anyway 😁

Soon a drawing to commemorate this moment ✏️❤️

Flat white, Mocha, Jasmine Tea, Caramel frappe, iced lemon tea, iced cafe mocha

Flat White: Coffee or Tea? I’m definitely a coffee kind of person, but I only drink iced coffee. My favorite flavor of coffee is mocha because I’m a big baby who needs chocolate in everything lmao

Mocha: Dream Job? I’m a Journalism major so I’d love to work for a company like Loudwire one day where I can interview bands and do some concert-photography. Plus it’d be pretty funny to see the reactions of super big, tough-looking guys like Corpsegrinder when they find out that my 5′2″ self would be the one interviewing them. 

Jasmine Tea: If you could go anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?  This one’s hard! I have a couple of places I’d like to visit, but I’d probably say the filming locations for Ghostbusters in New York!

Caramel Frappe: Fav video game? Unfortunately, I never grew up playing that many video games so there’s no nostalgia factor for this question. Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp would be the best answer I can give (if it even counts)

Iced Lemon Tea: Fav song/band? I’m so bad when it comes to picking a favorite anything, especially when it comes to music so I’ll give a Top 10 list of my favorite songs.

Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath

Goodbye Horses - Q Lazarus

Ancient Dreams - Candlemass

Sleepless Nights - King Diamond

God is Dead? - Black Sabbath

Be My Druidess - Type O Negative

Last Night I Dreamt that Somebody Loved Me - The Smiths

Lovesong - The Cure

Master and Servant - Depeche Mode

Billion Dollar Babies - Alice Cooper (he was my first concert!)

Iced Cafe Mocha: Fav thing to do on rainy days? Rainy days for me are my super chilled out days so I typically snuggle with my plushies, watch Bob Ross or some old-school cartoons, and nap!

[greyliliy]

You know what? It’s after midnight and this is when I should be asleep but instead make random posts, so here’s another one:

MY FAVORITE MY HERO ACADEMIA Characters (in order from Top Favs to wherever I stop listing):

1. Iida - Look, this boy had me in the first episode he showed up where he asked Present Mic about the robots and then later when he accused Izuku of trying to interfere with other contestants. It only solidified when he immediately apologized on the first day of class and it’s just been downhill from there. Iida’s adorable & I literally had to stop watching the show during the Stain arc because I was not ready to see Iida go through all that.

My Ships for Iida: Midoriya’s first up because CUTE & Todoroki’s second because bonding over having family members who are Pro Heroes. Uraraka is third because also adorable.

2. Bakugou - I have a weakness for unrepentantly angry & violent characters. They’re like walking catharsis for all the angry emotions I can’t do anything with because I generally try to be a nice person. Bakugou can be a horrible person all he wants with zero consequences and I kinda love it. Don’t get me wrong, I also like his character development and how he’s learning to care about others like Izuku & Kirishima, but I also kinda hope his overall character doesn’t change much. His fixation with Izuku is also super fascinating, won’t lie. But I mostly like him because he’s a violent little brat with feelings.

My Ships for Bakugou: Izuku because they’re like fixated on each other and it’s fun, and because I’ve always been weak for a Bully x Favorite Victim when it comes to unhealthy relationship pairings (when it’s Bakugou pursuing; when it’s Izuku playing the “I’m gonna’ make Bakugou Mine” game, I downplay that aspect more). Kirishima is kinda a given second fav as long as they’re more Bros than sappy because their canon friendship is amazing. Todoroki is also growing on me as an option. Same for Kaminari.

3. Shigaraki - If we ignore the part where I hate his costume (the hand on the face is okay, the rest of it can go), I love Shigaraki because he’s a spoiled brat. He’s got his own personal babysitter/butler, and his Master actually cares about him, and Shigaraki himself is just a great blend of being completely insane and also intelligent/knows what he’s doing. Also on the more shallow spectrum: I love his Quirk. You do not understand how much I love his stupid, angst-for-days, terrifying Quirk.

My Ships For Shigaraki: Dabi. Aesthetically they look good together & personality wise they’ve got great bicker-buddy potential. Toga because I kinda OT3 Shigaraki, Dabi & Toga and like all versions of the three of them interacting. Kurogiri also makes the list because I’ve read a lot of “Butlers/Servants of some sort x their Younger Spoiled Masters” BL plots and well, *waves hand at them* that’s what they are. XD

4. All Might - One hundred percent confession, the first time I saw the My Hero opening, I had convinced myself that All Might was gonna’ be some sort of scam or fraud and Izuku would have his dreams kinda crushed somehow and then go on to be the real hero. But I was wrong. I was so wrong. All Might is 100% legit and amazing and I love him. He loves everyone (even Endeavor!), and he’s strong, and even has the decency to be human with doubts and mistakes and just. All Might.

My Ships For All Might: Endeavor. They’ve got the Izuku/Bakugou thing going on and I like it. Though I kinda ship it as more of a “what could have been” Melancholy thing. I really don’t have a lot of ships for him but I can say for absolute that my NoTP is All Might & Inko. Just no. Inko is a married woman and until we’re told otherwise she loves her husband who’s working abroad. I’m really sick of everyone assuming Izuku’s dad is a bad guy because he works abroad and doesn’t get to see his family often. WAIT. Tsukauchi. The cop dude. Him & All Might are adorable. There’s a ship. xD

5. Todoroki - This brat grew on me so hard. He was always a character that was just sort of “there” for me ‘cause I wasn’t too invested in him, but then he let Iida be on his team in the Sports Festival & when he apologized to Sero and started to melt him from the ice I was like “Okay. You’re adorable.” And then again, it just went downhill from there. Todoroki’s adorable and awkward and he’s trying so hard. *pinches his cheeks* Also he’s super over powered and I kinda love it.

My Ships for Todoroki: Momo is first on the list. I like their interactions and I think they’re sweet in general. They’re both quiet and smart and I think they’re good for each other. I mentioned it above, but I also rather like Todoroki with Iida & Bakugou. Last on this though - I don’t like Todoroki & Izuku. At all. They’re great friends, I’m really glad they had their awesome canon moments, but I don’t ship it at all and I’d rather not see it either. XD;

6. Aizawa & Present Mic - They’re sharing a slot because I’ve just started thinking of them as a unit. Their best bro friendship & contrasting personalities is just that amusing to me. But yeah, Aizawa’s awesome and I love that he seems like the only person on the planet who kinda doesn’t like All Might (I mean, he does, but he acts like he doesn’t and I love it) and he’s got “I’m super strict but I actually care” vibes all over the place. Kinda like Piccolo in DBZ. Present Mic is just fun.

My Ships for Aizawa & Present Mic:  Each other. Friendship or more are both acceptable. I got nothing else for them, really.

7. Kirishima - Boy needs to start wearing his hair down & stop dying it, but aside from that, I love this boy. He’s bright, he’s happy, and under it all he’s got as much self-esteem issues as everyone else in this school. I like that he reached out to Bakugou & was cool enough to impress him, and I enjoy that he’s just a generally uplifting and spirited person who connects a lot of people together in the class.

My Ships for Kirishima: Bakugou, first off. Kinda easy to see why - they play off each other well, and if I want some happy/healthy relationship goals for a change, they fit the bill nicely. Mina is also a very good option, especially after hearing about their shared schooling days in Middle School.

8. Sero - I just like Sero. He’s walking common sense with a touch of ego that makes him a well rounded character in the side lines. And I love his smile/teeth. They just look nice.

My Ships for Sero: I don’t...really have any. Maybe Mina? Mineta? I don’t know. Psh. Maybe Todoroki because their Sports Festival match is what made me start to adore Todoroki.

(Okay, I had to open up the wiki at this point to browse characters to see if I missed anyone, so I think we’re down to the wire. Plus, I’m starting to fall asleep so you can see these posts get more rambling as I fade out. :D)

9. Endeavor - Don’t look at me like that. The dude’s freaking awful but he’s also the number two hero for a reason. He’s a horrible person who’s also like...awful in that way I love--like that “He’s almost unaware that he’s horrible” kinda way. Obliviously awful. And as messed up as it is, you can’t argue that Endeavor doesn’t adore his kid (or at least one of them...). He’s good at what he does (the dude’s kinda bad ass when he’s working), and I’ve seen previews of recent manga pages and it looks like he’s getting an attempt at a little redemption arc. I’m weak for horrible people who realize their mistakes and try to make up for it. It’s not realistic by any stretch of the imagination, but it is still really nice to see. Some of my all time favorite characters in fiction are horrible, “irredeemable” monsters turned good guys (*cough* VEGETA and like half the cast of DBZ *cough*) and I kinda want to see it here.

10. Dabi & Toga - I don’t actually know anything about them yet other than the fact they’re both aesthetically pleasing & I like their general character tropes (the cool jack ass and the yandere). Plus they OT3 with Shigaraki like WOW and I love it.

11. Tsukauchi - How do you not love Normal Guy in a case of super heroes and quirks? Nice guy. Super cute with All Might. Awesome side character for the win.

12. Bakugou’s Parents - Look. His parents are adorable together and I love them. Also Bakugou’s mom is basically a grown up Bakugou and I’ve already established I love Bakugou so why not her to?

And I think that’s it. That’s what I’ve got. Generally speaking I love everyone in the show (even Mineta) and I just realized Izuku didn’t make the list and that’s kinda hilarious. He’ll get an honorable mention. But for real. I love everybody including Uraraka and Momo and Aoyama and all of them. Good show. Good cast.

HONORABLE MENTION: Izuku - I like Izuku a lot, but not as much as everyone else. I think my favorite thing about him is his obsession with Bakugou (”Kacchan” - I love it.) and frankly his fixation is like my favorite thing to play with fandom wise in this show. I love that he’s a reckless, anxious, unstoppable force and generally Izuku’s a great character. I think the only reason he’s not higher on the list is I always felt there was a bit of missed potential by having him be a Quirkless, BadAss Normal Hero (kinda like his prototype) that kinda lingers whenever I’m watching the show.

My Top Ships for Izuku: Uraraka is, funny enough, up first because I think their canon, mutual crush on each other is freaking ADORABLE and I think they have great chemistry. Bakugou is up second for obvious reasons *cough Izuku is obsessed with him cough* and I kinda picture that no matter who Izuku ends up with, they’re going to have to tiredly condition themselves to getting used to the fact Bakugou’s a huge part of Izuku’s life and he’s not going anywhere. Iida is also a fav for this ship because of awkward cuteness.

Now I’m done. *passes out*

Best Anime Movies To Watch

Looking for some Marvelous Anime movie? I have got you some astonishing hand-picked collection of the movie. Here is a list of  Top 10 Best Anime Movies You Must Watch.So without any further delay let’s start with our Top 10 Anime Movie List

Top 10 Best Anime Movies Of All Time

10.Patlabor: The Movie (1989)

Many of the films on this list are here because they’re landmark films for their directors, or that they move the art form of Japanese animation forward in meaningful ways. Patlabor is just a good-ass movie made by a bunch of talented people, including future Ghost in the Shell collaborators Mamoru Oshii and I.G Tatsunoko (the early name for the production company that would become Production I.G). Set in the distant future of 1999, Patlabor’s hardboiled sci-fi police procedural explores the connection between humanity and technology, and how we approach law enforcement in an age of automation. Also, this list would otherwise be sorely lacking in giant mech movies – this film has them in spades, and they fight a bunch. It’s pretty cool.

9.The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (2006)

Studio Ghibli commissioned director Mamoru Hosoda to make Howl’s Moving Castle, but sent him packing after rejecting his initial concepts. Hosoda then turned around and directed The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, an abounding and inventive dramedy that’s as entertaining as it is thought-provoking. Based on a novel by Yasutaka Tsutsui, the film follows high schooler Makoto Konno as she learns that she has the power to quite literally leap through time. First, she uses these powers to get good grades, but she quickly learns that her actions have consequences. It’s a wildly imaginative slice of life and marked the emergence of an important voice in animated films.

8.Your Name (2016)

Since the release of his first short film Voices of a Distant Star (which he wrote, directed, and animated by himself over seven months), Makoto Shinkai has been described by multiple critics as the next Hayao Miyazaki. With his most recent film Your Name. (yes, the period is part of the title), Shinkai finally steps out steps out of the shadows of the greats and finds his own voice. To describe it as a mere body-swapping film does it a great disservice, as it finds the humor and humanity in a situation where two young high schoolers find themselves in each others shoes and desperately want to find each other. But then, Shinkai pulls the rug out from under you halfway through and Your Name. turns into a different kind of film entirely.

CONT READING…

[kaibutsushidousha]

What is the type of characters that you hate? (Feel free to show examples)

Now that’s a really interesting ask. I never expect I would ever get to talk in lenght about the concept of character hate and that’s a really fun subject to tackle. The read more here is because the answer is very, very long, not because it has explicit V3 spoilers. It does have chapter 1 spoilers, but only at the last paragraph and with a warning beforehand.

There’s not really any “type” of characters I inherently hate. It’s difficult to create something completely original when almost everything have already been done, so all characters tend to fit into archetypes, but any mildly competent writer will make their character grow beyond their archetype. Of course, I’m not saying it’s not impossible to create unique characters. Iruma, for example, is a character I can’t think of any character similar to her. It also doubles as an example of how this sort of uniqueness doesn’t make your character automatically good.

Anyways, as you want examples, my approach to this question is to name 4 archetypes I dislike, give examples of good characters who overcame their unlikable archetype and tell how them did. But before that I’ll have to say that bad archetypes never make me truly hate a character. When I see a character on an archetype I don’t like, I just don’t care about the character initially. I can’t bring myself to hate it because I believe in the character’s potential to become much more than what they were introduced at. And if they don’t by the end of the story, I have no reason to start caring about them now of all times. After I’m done with this for bad archetype examples, I tell you what you need to really make me hate a character.

Example 1) I don’t like rude/brute characters, specially when they are not villains. This is very broad and nearly omnipresent, so it’s hard to think of specific examples, so let’s go with the basic DanganRonpa. The brutest characters in the franchise are Oowada, Kuzuryuu, Owari, Sakakura and Momota. I’m not counting Iruma here because is a completely different brand of rude. I also don’t think I need to talk about Sakakura because almost every reacted to him the same way I did, so we’re left with the other 4. 

Out of all of them, I feel like Owari is the only one who didn’t manage to grow over her archetype. In fact, I feel like her further character construction only made her worse, for reasons I talked about just yesterday. Oowada and Kuzuryuu however, managed to become one of my favorite characters of their respective games. Momota didn’t go that far, but he is pretty good too.

Oowada is definitely brute and angry and it shows, but he is ultimately a character defined by his inner weakness and put directly into constract against the small and frail Fujisaki’s courage and the breaking point of his story comes from internally admiting defeat against Fujisaki. The tropes I don’t like were put into good use and resulted into a brilliant and emotionally strong story that would be impossible without it. 

Kuzuryuu earned mostly by being a character defined by his kindness and how that contrasts with the position he is supposed to fill, but I’ll go in more detail about him when I talk about Peko.

Momota is the least good out of the three, mostly because he doesn’t stray too far from the hero archetype, although he is well used in the good parts of it (mainly being inspirational) and gets a lot of character value out of his interactions with Ouma.

Example 2) Blindly obedient characters. Usually soldiers and maids. This terrible archetype is an easy excuse to make a character’s motivations less personal and they very often tend to feel emotionless. DanganRonpa has easy and convenient examples of characters who didn’t grow beyond the archetype in, you guessed it by the second sentence in the example, Mukuro and Toujou. For the good examples of this, I’ll go with Hisui from Tsukihime and, as I mentioned before, Peko.

Hisui is a character very frequently described by Shiki’s narration as emotionless and machine-like at first, but we as her character is further constructed, we learn that that’s not how she naturally acts and she has very emotinally impactful reasons to act like that. Not to mention she is a central part of Kohaku’s (my favorite character ever) motivations, so I’m naturally inclined to like her by proxy as well.

Peko is most likely the most interesting example in this entire list because the great writing rised a character to my overall top 10 favs at the time(currently still on the 11-20 line) by making good use of archetypical tropes I usually hate. Sure, she was initially present as a type of character I like a lot with only a last minute reveal that she was the archetype I don’t like, but her situation as part of this archetype only made her character extremely better. Peko avoids the pitfalls of the emotionless servant and takes a very unique and unusual twist on the archetype by being the blindly obedient servant of someone who really doesn’t want a blindly obedient servant. As she takes no orders from Kuzuryuu, she has to act based on what she thinks Kuzuryuu wants and she can be wrong about it, as her chapter is a huge evidence of. Her being forced to interpret Kuzuryuu is even more excellent due to what makes Kuzuryuu himself great on his own.  Kuzuryuu is defined as someone who is too kind to be a yakuza boss but still has to fill that role while maintaining the image and reputation that clashes with his essence and that conflict is passed down to Peko as well, because she is very aware of that and has to choose between acting based on the wants of who Kuzuryuu truly is or who Kuzuryuu is trying to be. Every single part of Peko’s writing is genius.

3) Yanderes. This one should be self-explanatory, but also come as surprise due to my love for many other obsessive characters. Yanderes are bad because their obsession is specifically with love and their definition of love is completely different from mine. Yanderes are usually associated with a possessive and jealous personality that wants to keep the target only for themselves regardless of how they feel about it. I see love in many definitions, but mainly as being happy with someone else’s happiness, so I think love-centric characters should be selflessly dedicated to make the “target” happy. I’m a huge sucker for characters in one-sided relationships who support their target in a two-sided with someone else and that’s the main reason I tend to say I prefer one-sided shipps (provided the target doesn’t hate the character in love).

Examples of yanderes I like include Sakura Matou from Fate/stay Night and Mikan Tsumiki. Both have superb backstories establishing them as emotionally dependant, their dependancy is not limited to their yandere traits and their properly treat as creepy, if not outright evil for this behaviour. Bonus points for Sakura for being a rare case were an eroge heroine is the main villain of her own route.

As much as I don’t want to compliment Idol Death Game TV, Rito Karasuma from it and Mukae Emukae from Medaka Box are also excellent example of likable yanderes for a different reason. They both are extremely obsessive but they lack the possessiveness that make yanderes suck. On the contrary, they agree with me on what love should be like and are insanely dedicated to their target’s happiness.

Rito takes part on the Dream of Dream not to win, but to make Ayaka win, because she strongly believes Ayaka is the best idol ever, so everyone else should also get to see how great she is and admire her as much as Rito does. Even after she discovers this actually a death game, she still focused only on making Ayaka win and is perfectly willing to give up her own life for it. Rito’s smile in her route’s secret ending when you make Ayaka win is easily one of the best moments in that shitty game. Rito’s character as whole is a great treasure found in a garbage pit.

As for Emukae, she gets a great character arc about her learning more about Zenkichi’s character during their times together and ultimately decided to support him in his relationship with Medaka. She is exactly the type of character I described here above.

As exemplified with those two, yandere and blindly obedient servant are two archetypes I really dislike, but they go extremely well together, almost completely compensating for each others flaws. The yandere being dedicated to target’s wants eliminates the unlikable possessivity elements and the obsessive yandere passion eliminates the emotionlessness factor and makes the servant character motivations extremely personal. Not to mention the extent of the yandere’s dedication leads to awesome feats like Rito’s “Ayaka-chan is too nervous to perform this show, I should burn the closest building to cancel it” moment and Emukae’s first confession to Zenkichi, which is easily Medaka Box’s most iconic page and my go-to example for when people ask me what Medaka Box is like.

4) Self-insert characters. I never felt like any narrative ever benefitted from immersion or generic “relatability” (relatibility to more unique personal experiences is a different matter though) and that feels like a really lazy excuse not to write your protagonist. There’s really no saving this one, but I really love characters who look like self-inserts at first but then are revealed not to be. The first examples that come to mind are Hajime Hinata, Souta Mizushino from Re:Creators, Shirou Emiya and Shiki Toono from Type-Moon and to some extent Kaede Akamatsu as well.

Proper self-inserts are never good, but they can be at least tolerable if they are being used to make a point. For example, Naegi is literally anyone to push the idea that literally anyone can defeat despair if they are at least a bit optimistic, or Ritsuka Fujimaru is a stand-in for humanity because Fate/Grand Order is a story about celebrating humanity throughout history and about humanity as species surpassing its challenges.

Now let’s move on to what makes me hate a character. As I said, if the character is part of an archetype I dislike and don’t go into a likable direction, I’ll just not care about them, so how do you make me hate a character? Easy, you first bring me to care about the character then take them in a completely unlikable and disappointing direction. Almost all of the characters I truly hate are characters I used to love at some point. If you have been following my blog for a long time, you saw it happen with Angie and Shinguuji. Giving a TLDR answer to the initial question, the type of I character I can hate is: the type of character I can like.

Now let’s move to the example part, let’s give 3 examples of really awful directions you can take your character.

1) Make your character have completely stupid, unreasonable and poorly justified actions and make them to central and relevant to the character to ignore. As for examples, we have the aforementioned Shinguuji and Angie, both who I already explained about.

2) Center your character around a mystery and give that mystery a really underwhelming answer and reveal it in a uncerimonious way that feels like it  never really mattered to begin with, then make it never centrally relevant to the character. 

An example of this character anti-climax is Phi from Zero Escape. She clearly knows a lot more than she should and seems very involved with the plot, but we can never know exactly why because of VLR’s terrible decision of making the ending a complete sequel hook. Next game, Phi is completely sidelined, the answer to her mystery is revealed (technically) without her presence, it more about Delta than about her even thought she had an entire game of pointless build-up about it, we never get a scene of her reacting to it nor her relation to Delta ever matters to ever matter to anything. 

3) Suddenly throw your character into an archetype I dislike. Obviously Peko is an exception to that and is the only one remember right now.

An example where it didn’t benefit the character is Arcueid Brunestud from Tsukihime. Arc is really great in her own route. She is a fun airhead, smart and badass when needed, has a good character arc about her growing humanity and a great dynamic with Shiki. Then the next route we play is Ciel’s. There we see how Arcueid is like when she doesn’t have Shiki’s preference and, guess what, she turns out have been a possessive yandere all along. An overpowered possessive yandere who usurps the role of final boss of the route when it should be Shiki and Ciel’s histories as Roa. I’m glad we never get to see her in any of the next routes.

Another very interesting example is Akane Kurashiki from the Zero Escape escape series, because she incorporates multiples of the 3 examples above at the same, shows how not even my absolute favs are safe from dropping with further characterization and how recovery is always possible down the line.

After I finished 999, I loved Akane’s character to the point she rose to becoming my overall second favorite character. Then we got the unfortunate sequel that was Virtue’s Last Reward. There Akane is quite different. She is not a servant character but she has the exact same problems I have with them. Her very personal story from 999 is replaced with a very unpersonal “save the world” storyline and she acts completely emotionless, even to Junpei, to the point it feels like her fun personality from 999 was just an act to get Junpei to work the way he needed to. (Example 3)

At the end of the game, we get also get some final exposition from Junpei saying that all timelines still exists, his times with Quark will still remain some even if that idea of creating a “perfect timeline“ goes right. What does that mean for Akane’s character? It means she her “heroic“ efforts to fix her history are acutally just her cowardly running away to a different timeline while leaving another version of herself to suffer in the bad timeline instead. That makes her actions not only unpersonal but also unadmirable. (Example 1)

Next we get ZTD, who brings back Akane with her fun teasing personality from the first game and also showing the process of how she steeled herself to become her VLR self, not only confirming the parts I liked about her were a genuine part of her character but also justifying the parts I don’t like, completely solving the example 3 problem. The example 1 part is not solved but it’s acknowledged, questioned and actually has the characters feeling like dicks at some moments for randomly putting their other selves to death. That was enough for me to grow attached to Akane’s character again. She didn’t go back to second spot, but she’s now most likely around 20-30, which is pretty good all things considered.

Well, this is an ask about character hatred, so I think I should talk a bit about the final boss of the characters I hate, a character fits in all of the three examples above simultaneously and didn’t get the redemption Akane did: Kyouko Kirigiri. 

In chapter 6, we start things off with a really uncerimonious reveal that Kirigiri’s talent was actually the most obvious guess imaginable (Example 2). Ok, that’s actually not that bad and we get to hear more about this when she talks about Jin. Jin was, in her own words, talented as detective but that was not something he really wanted to do, so everyone in the family unfairly considered him a failure, including herself (starting to dip a bit into Example 1 territory but not quite, Kyouko has the right to be biased in this situation). Kyouko, however, say she is glad she was abandoned because she was proud of her detective carrer and makes a little speech about a detective’s duty of being impartial (Example 3 into the servant character archetype with her being blindly obedient to Kirigiri family, with an extra dose of unpersonal and emotionless because she is actively enforcing neutrality, along with a bit of Example 1 because the focus on impartiality contradicts the family’s biased attitude towards Jin). Last she says she didn’t hate him for abandoning her, she hated because the rest of her shitty family would constantly treat her with pity for being abandoned, which is something completely beyond his control (Example 1 amplified by the fact the neutrality speech a couple lines ago was Kyouko completely relinquishing her right to be biased). That’s all not even considering the very strong implications that Jin was kicked out of the family (which was apparently confirmed by DRK, but we’ll never know how canon that was). It was actually amazing how managed to hit all the points that mostly make me hate a character with only one single scene.

That’s all about the characters I hate, but now I want to talk about something extra regarding an interesting experience I had with character hate as a concept and how it works on different ways for everyone. That’s the part with V3 spoilers. 

This is actually about Kaede Akamatsu and how she is received by the fandom. I saw some person complaining about the chapter 1 twist and decided to discuss with them about. This turned into a very, very long discussion about Akamatsu’s character and the direction it took. Before that conversation I was a little bit disdainful of Akamatsu fans who hated the twist, but it felt like they didn’t like the character for who she else, but for what they were expecting her to be. While talking about for hours with a person I deemed a bad Akamatsu “fan”, I came to feel like if I wasn’t the huge of fan of mystery narrator murders I am, Akamatsu could very well fall into my hated character list. The person I was talking to described exactly what happens when I grow to hate a character and yet he was still claiming to love her character. That gave me a lot of thought about how people consume media in different ways and have different factors to define what they like or hate. That guy was most likely the reason why this answer turned to so long.

I guess what I’m trying to say with this last thing is that media consumption is always a personal experience and my way of evaluting characters might or might not apply to how you enjoy things, so you don’t have to think my method is right and all others is wrong. Whether you’re liking or hating characters, decide this in a way that works naturally for you and don’t criticize others for experiencing fiction in different ways.

I took the sorter thing & most of these are pretty unsurprising. My top 7-ish are pretty unsurprising, but im a little surprised at the order they’re in. Im pretty surprised Wait for It is #1, i might have gotten absentminded but i usually say that Room where it happens is my absolute favorite song. I’m also very ashamed at how high What’d I Miss is on this list,... but I was going purely on emotion & how much I listen to it/enjoy listening to it. I really expected all the King George songs to be lower aka at the very bottom bc i don’t think they’re anything special, but i think what made some of them slightly higher is bc at the very least they’re fun to listen to. Very unsurprised about Farmer Refuted & Hurricane.
