#yana rants

[yana125]

Today I experienced the... not the worst day of my life at my workplace but I just got a slap from my own limitations and the spiral I can go down so easily because of the most trivial thing, and as a second slap I witnessed how fast it could have been solved and avoided? For short 2,5 years ago I'd been tasked with an important administration thing. I'd known the moment my coworker gave me this task before she left, believing in me that I can do it, that I wouldn't be able to do it. I know myself. But people just... believe that I can do things? And I hadn't wanted to dishearten her or my boss, because I'm also afraid to disappoint the people who I admire and cherish. So with the tightness of anxiety in my chest I'd said yes to this task. And for 1,5 years I could do it. I'd updated this important administration thing, I even had fun annoying my coworkers with me showing up each month. But then last autumn it just... I just couldn't do it anymore. I got frustrated because of the most trivial thing. Each year I had to rewrite this important administration thing into an other important administration thing. Keep the data that stayed for the next year, add the new data as it arrived during the year, repeat next autumn. Each data is seperated by months and if the page is filled I flip the page and continue writing the month there. And what was the most trivial thing? I didn't know how much space I should leave for the data that would arrive during the year. Should I keep one page for the month or two pages? If I leave one page and it fills up where would I write the new ones? If I leave two pages what if no new data would be added to that month? I just wasted a full page in the important administration thing. And I'd started copying the remaining data into the new important administration thing during last autumn but because of this frustration I'd started spiraling down and photocopies of new data were given to me which had frustrated me even more, but I'd been thinking that I would wait until the end of winter when I would get only a few new data so I could count how many pages I would need.

Sike! I'd put the important administration thing into the closet! And what I don't see it doesn't exist! And I'd completely forgotten about it for weeks. Sometimes when I remembered my procrastination kicked in. Then I forgot about it, then procrastination again, then summer break, then BOOM! Full on anxiety! I only had a few weeks to finish! I couldn't finish it in a few weeks! It was too much! Spiraling, spiraling. Then my boss' deputy asked if I wanted to write this important administration thing next year too. And I was like no. No way in hell. This important administration thing appeared in my mind one night when I almost fell asleep and it made me so anxious that I couldn't relax enough to finally fall asleep for an hour. I do not want it. And I gave her this barely written important administration thing with so much shame and self hatred that I can't even tell you... Everyone would be disappointed in me, my boss would be disappointed in me, and as I said I'm afraid to disappoint the people who I admire and cherish, and every time I remembered this important administration thing I couldn't help but imagine how angry they would be. I couldn't even talk to my boss and her deputy for a whole day. Then today the deputy asked me to help her with this important administration thing because she'd never done anything like this before so I went to the office and showed her which data should go where and like.... It was going so fast all of a sudden? There was no problem with my gigantic trivial thing? And nobody was angry at me, they only said with the kindest voice that I should've told them earlier. And I should have buuuuut I'm afraid to disappoint the people who I admire and cherish. My worst enemy is myself. So thank you, no more important administration things, just my own little administration things connected to only my little space in my workplace. My procrastination is still present, but at least I can catch up to myself more easily with that.

i cannot begin to tell you guys how much i hate this charles grey fucker and his ugly face and ugly hair someone fire his barber. why is he always here. can he fuck off for once with his annoying ass chipmunk voice and his annoying ass chipmunk face.

[icantdothistodaybruh]

just watched the first episode what the fuck I have so many questions

If you liked the episode pls don't read underline I don't want to ruin your day with my negativity

why the hell ending looks better then the rest of the episode??? I love it and all, they floating in the sky romantically and it's cute blablabla but why here they look decent and the whole ass episode they look like yassified versions of themselves who decided on that😭😭😭😭 the lashes are killing me the most I think I cannot look at them in close ups for the life of me they remind me of a fucking metalic shifer roofs

the opening I don't even want to talk about bro just wtf happend when they were making it. did ten different people with no idea of what kuro is about were pushed in a room and each made a part for a youtube mep? who was supervising stylistic choices?? was they ever even there????

I can tell that money was not the problem, in a sense that nothing about the episode looks cheap, there were no problems with the budget... so where so many poor artistic choices came from? There is nothing dark, gothic, mysterious or victorian left. And looking back at the opening for all I know I could be just watching some fantasy avatar anime with no clear identety. One episode is not much to judge by, but still is it even black butler anymore??

thank you for coming to my ted talk, that's all for now, I'll be crying and rewatching first seasons if you need me

[plague-of-insomnia]

I think the worst thing about kuro antis is how much of a disservice they do to Yana.

Acting like she’s a bad storyteller because they don’t like the way she tells her story.

Yana is an incredible storyteller.

She is able to weave together so many threads so there’s always a set up for something and yet she does it in a way that doesn’t distract from the overall story.

Just think about the twin reveal. It was set up as early as the ripper arc I believe and didn’t come out until 100+ chapters later. And yet if you look back you can see all the clues she left.

She carefully chooses how she sets up panels and which POV she uses. She picks her kanji so carefully, often they can be read 3-4 different ways!

To say she’s a bad writer or that she just “accidentally” does things for “fan service” is a slap in the face to the hard work and careful craftsmenship she puts into her work.

If you think she’s such a bad mangaka, if you find her “sexualizing” of characters so repulsive, then why are you in the kuro fandom? Why are you still reading the manga?

I’ve come across plenty of media where I liked the concept but hated the execution. And you know what I did? I stopped reading/watching and moved on. It’s that simple.

[gaystonerdragon]

sometimes i feel like the people reading black butler forget that the whole premise of the narrative is a boy who saw his entire family and household massacred on his birthday is tricked into forming a revenge pact with a demon that was summoned by the cult that killed his brother after abusing the two preteen boys for weeks on end, to bring equal humiliation, pain, and suffering to everyone responsible for the aforementioned horrors committed against him. “its so dark” like yeah… what gave it away? “the subject matter is so heavy” again… what part of the narrative set up made you think it wouldn’t be? like you know how this is ending, right?

[xia0mi-c0m]

when I get more treyrid (whenever that day Yana will hear my prayers), y'all gyatta hold me down in order for me not to go absolutely FERAL.

[blackbutler-readerinsertsandjunk]

tomorrow is my first day back to work and I'm a lil nervous

I haven't been able to get anything written for here bc I've been trying to get a couple other things written (updating my Bill Cipher redemption fic and starting a Gyutaro x reader x Daki because I make poor life choices)

but I'm on light duty for a month, basically just sitting at the register checking people out, unable to do any stocking or anything bc I'm not allowed to lift anything over 15 pounds so I can't lift totes, bend much, or reach much, so I'm allowed to bring something to do in between customers... maybe I'll get some writing done? I feel as if I'll be slacking off bc that's how my brain works

but you know what, I kill myself for that store normally, I don't work full time simply because I can't afford medical insurance if I did, but even working only part time I give my all while I'm there, I'm not someone who slacks off. so if I'm healthfully and approvedly permitted to slack off and take it easy for a month, I guess I'll take it (... plus, I mean, I'll still be working, just light duty, it's not like I'll show up and get paid to do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, I'm still gonna be ringing out customers)

ANYWAY MY POINT IS-

get those last requests in! after I get home from work tomorrow, I'll be closing the askbox and won't open it back up till this batch is finished and I swear I mean that this time 😂

[bibyshitsuji24k]

Idols mini saga makes me cringe

[nrc-counselor]

Slight Spoiler for Chapter 7!!!!

I am kinda pissed that the one canon fat character in the game we have who is designed as undeniably fat (Azul does not count in this respect) is a heinous, undeniable villain on top of being the one character design that has no aesthetic or redeeming qualities what so ever.

This is something Yana did in Black Butler too, so I am not super surprised, but I am severely disappointed and upset about it. Yuuta may be our last hope for non-stereotypical or bigoted fat rep but honestly, I am not optimistic.

[warmmilk-n-honey]

I hate sebaciel I hate sebaciel I hate sebaciel

[blackbutlerbrainrots]

PLEASE WHAT IS THIS FORESHADOWNING YANA

Cole, please, pick your words wiser😭

[lem0nn-juice]

I've been seeing a lot of dumbass sebaciel posts, no doubt cause of the new season so with that being said I'm going to do what I do best and rant.

Remember that sebaciel is NOT canon, while I'm aware there's unfortunately a lot of bait in both the manga and anime, it's nothing more than that, bait.

Black Butler is not and was never intended to be a yaoi between Ciel and Sebastian as there is no legitimate proof of this being true( and if your only proof is out of context scenes and art you are quite literally falling for bait lol) it's just a rumor that was started by sebaciel shippers. If you see anyone claiming this is true just know it's misinformation.

While yes it's true that Yana Toboso has written shotacon in her past, those are literally works that has NOTHING TO DO WITH BLACK BUTLER. So using her past works as some kind of gacha is just really fucking stupid.

And saying she's a sebaciel shipper because she baits you people is honestly stupid as well, as far as I'm aware she has never said anything about the ship( or ships in general) so her being a sebaciel shipper is honestly just speculation.

Black Butler is not, and as far as I'm aware, will never be about sebaciel. You are allowed to enjoy this media and be in the fandom without being a sebaciel shipper.

There's so much more to black butler than a dumbass ship but these people have their heads so far up their own asses to actually appreciate the story for what it is.

If you ship sebaciel then fine, I will just block you on sight, but trying to make people who don't ship it look like the weirdos in the fandom is really fucking shitty. But that's expected from people who thinks being problematic is a personality trait.

I hope there already is twisted Alice in twisted wonderland world

Because bitch it better not be Yuu because we all know what live action Alice did in the movie :D

Slay the dragon. Yep. and WHO DO YOU THINK it is ?!

(Probably 99% won't happen BUT STILL if Yuu really is twisted Alice then i hope Yana follows the damn animated movie not this one 🙏🏻)

( rant bc iM ALMOST DONE I'M ALMOST DONe I'M ALMOST DONE WITH ANIMATIC)

[zhanna-doe]

...I not baby anymore.

Can you tell us about your sister's? Who is the oldest of you three?

[To modd: Could I perhaps make accout for Bronislava? Just for fun really-]

I AM OLDEST!

Yana is middle, she 37. Bronislava is younger, she 35. Yana just Yana, Bronislava we sometime call Bronia.

I know Yana traveling world with Mama... I think they in Canada right now.

And Bronia travel to Europe. She still in Paris when I call!

The Great BNHA Review: The Finale

So in the end... where does this leave us?

A society that really hasn't changed that much, Izuku was alone once again because his hero friends are too busy, and it ends with Izuku being handed a suit to fight alongside them... Reinforcing the fact that Izuku couldn't be a hero on his own without someone handing him something to make him a hero.

What a lackluster and rather bleak ending when you think about it. Because they still have the ranking system so it's once again enticing heroes to compete in a popularity contest to be known, which is why Bakugou is doing poorly and Aizawa admitting that he didn't do shit to curve this behavior.

(Points at Aizawa) Teacher of the Year everyone 🙄

So with the story now completed, what I hope to eventually happen in a few years is for people to truly see the series for what it is. A poorly written story where the main character never grows, the worst anime character hogging all the attention away from things that should be important, and contains harmful messages for preteens-teens if we were to take this at face value.

So let me ask this: Was this story worth telling?

I'm only asking because since it's known that Hori just got tired and wanted to be done and over BNHA as soon as he could. Which I know WOULDN'T have happened if he just pulled a Yana Toboso and just put the manga on hold to truly figure out what he wants to do instead of working on it continuously with only a handful of one week breaks.

His story couldn't explore the themes it established, and what it DID covered, was handled poorly.

And if you want a piece of media that explores what BNHA tried to do, here're some of my recommendations .

The main character being the odd one out? The Owl House.

Family Issues? Gravity Falls.

Discussions on justice and the grey area of good and evil? Death Note.

Hell, Glitch Productions does a better job at developing the romances of their characters than this anime series did in it's entirety!

And trauma being handled in a tasteful manner?

But back to the topic!

The thing is why couldn't we explore these themes and topics that was promised to us? Was anyone REALLY asking for Endeavor to make amends with his family? Did anyone RELLY think that Endeavor's redemption was worth screwing over the Todoroki family members?

This series just wants to have it's cake and eat it too! We want to have cool fight scenes and root for the heroes to win, but we would also want to explore the world they live in and how it functions. And since considering the badly handled topics of the story and the characters themselves are as interesting as caricatures of the tropes they embody to where there's no depth or complexity.

Then you just have a story that GOES NOWHERE!

How much of Hero Society has really changed at the end? It only beckons for the same events that happened throughout the series to happen again! And the people who were horrible, I.E Bakugou and Endeavor, get they want without consequences! None of the major characters go through significant development so it makes it hard to see that they've grown at the end!

So overall, BNHA is an Anime Series that crashed and burned. Something that I hope more people will start to recognize and call it out for both the mistakes of the series and Kohei Horikoshi.

And with that, my career of criticizing BNHA has come to an end. Thank you all for liking my rants and posts, and I truly do hope you'll keep following me for whatever's in store.

So now that's done, I can finally move on to something actually good...

AU: Jobs

Another AU I made a year or two ago. The idea is the sextuplets have jobs, but they're not exactly where they want to be in those jobs. They all still live at home as well.

Oso: Ballerina. Does shows at a local theater in town with a ballerina group that comes to town every summer. He’s really good and they offer to take him on tour with them, but he doesn’t want to leave his family behind so he refuses (though he lies and says he’s too lazy to travel or something). His dream is to one day perform in Paris, France in front of a large crowd, though he doesn’t tell anyone this. The rest of the year he’s a NEET. Had Iyami as his agent once when he was younger. He performed in different towns, but ended up missing his family and was thinking of going home when he found Iyami trying to run off with the money they earned from the shows. Iyami wanted to take the money and go to France alone. Luckily the family was able to stop Iyami, but they lost the money in the struggle in a hijinks way. He can still remember the feeling of loneliness without his brothers by his side to this day, which is why he doesn’t want to leave them and go on tour.

Kara: A model! Well, actually, a hand model. His dream is to become a full-body model. He doesn’t even have to be on the cover or centerfold. He just wants to show off his whole body. Chibita takes pity on him and has him model for flyers for his oden shop (though he has to keep reminding Kara to keep it tame and not to ham). Has gotten scammed more than once by “talent agencies” that promise to make him a full body model. Each time they run off with his money he promises to be more careful from then on, but then falls for the next one. 

Choro: Works at a business office (the one his dad got for him in that one ep). His dream is to own his own business like his father did in the kun series. He hasn’t gone to business school (since he can’t afford it and doesn’t have any talents to get scholarships), so right now his plan is to work hard and get promoted until he becomes CEO of the business. What he doesn’t realize is that his supervisors don’t plan on giving him any promotions. They want to keep him where he is and force him to do their work for them, so they can take the credit. Despite all the work he does, and always attending drinking parties after work, he has no work friends. Everyone is annoyed with him and his know-it-all attitude and is only nice to him when they have work that needs done. 

Whenever he gets drunk he rants about how he’s going to quit and start his own business, but never goes through with it. He’s afraid of it failing, like his father’s business did. One of the ones that has a steady income and can keep it.

Ichi: Runs a non-profit cat adoption center. Raised up money to rent a building to turn it into an adoption center. The problem is Ichi’s standards are higher than most, so adopting is nearly impossible and they don’t earn a lot of money. The only reason his business hasn’t gone under is cause his brothers help him run a charity, benefit thing whenever the center needs money. He also sometimes get an anonymous donation. The only other employee he has is his old highschool friend (and secret crush), Yana. Yana also helps put money into the center so it doesn’t go under. Ichi gets annoyed when Choro tries to give him business advice. 

Jyushi: A baseball player! Kinda. He’s on a baseball team, but he never gets to play. When he first joined he got a little too excited and went nuts (like in the last ep of season 1). He’s calmed down since then, but none of his teammates or coach trusts him and have him as a benchwarmer. They have him do more manual tasks, like cleaning the uniforms, polishing bats, and things a baseball player shouldn’t be expected to do. He doesn’t complain, though he wishes they would at least let him play in one game. His teammates find him annoying, but they can’t trade him off (for whatever reason). He gets paid the most out of the brothers (he gets extra for doing the manual labor), but none of them realize this since he sends half of his paycheck to Ichi as an anonymous donor, or to Homuyra in the form of gifts (he tried money once and she sent it back). Does travel to other cities for games, but makes sure to call home everyday and talk to his brothers for hours when he can.

Todo: Part time streamer/part time worker at a clothing store. He wants to become a popular streamer, but so far he’s just got a little following. He’s the streamer that either talks about his day, complains about a coworker or customer, or reacts to videos. He sometimes gets donations on his streams, but the one he gets the most from is from a fan named “FluffyMixer.” (It’s Atsushi. Fluffy is the name of his cat. Todo doesn’t know it’s Atsushi and often talks to him about his “favorite fan that donates a lot to him” while Atsushi smirks and listens). He's wanting to get sponsorships.
