Ekko’s first kiss with Powder is not Powder’s first kiss with Ekko and if Ekko kisses Jinx, then Jinx’s first kiss with Ekko won’t be Ekko’s first kiss with her...

Honestly, I love these two so fucking much. Seriously, how can you not? Even their first kiss is this logistical mess.

[thesoffgengar]

ekko getting stuck in an alternate universe, meeting and falling in love with powder a second time, creating a mural of his universe’s vi from memory so powder can see what her sister looks like all grown up, inventing hextech so he can go back to his universe, using his time travel to talk jinx out of killing herself multiple times until he gets it right, and then saving everyone… he is quite literally the man of the moment!! EKKO YOU WILL ALWAYS BE LOVED!!!

No because what do you mean they were best friends as kids and Ekko had a crush on her, and then he tries to ‘rescue’ her from Silco but she doesn’t want to go with him and they end up on opposing sides as enemies and he insists that ‘Powder is gone, only Jinx is left’ but he paints a mural for Powder as one of the people they’ve lost and when he has the chance to kill her he can’t bring himself to do it because he still cares about her and she tries to blow them both up because she views death as mercy and wants to die with him and then he gets sent to another universe where she’s still Powder and he falls in love with her all over again and he goes back to his universe convinced he can save her and he has to watch her kill herself over and over again before managing to convince her to live and join the fight and they do and he wears her paint and then she just… dies anyways and now he’s lost her for like, the NINTH TIME

One reason why I feel Wakana Gojo (My Dress Up Darling) is a step above most anime male love interests is that the story does a good job showing why Marin would fall for him. Now I’m not saying every anime has this problem, but I do feel there’s a lot of stories where the male lead is just…meh? The setup is usually that they’re this loser dude (possibly a NEET) who doesn’t get a lot of attention. But then they meet this girl(s) who fall madly in love with him for some reason.

It feels author insert-y, not gonna lie. Not that that’s a problem, it’s just that a lot of these protagonists end up being bland drips who don’t do much to earn the attention they get. Speaking as someone who has been in a relationship, no one’s gonna look your way if you’re not offering something back. And I’m not just talking about looks or manners, there’s gotta be something deeper.

That’s why Gojo is a top-tier male romcom MC since he does have a lot to offer. If you look past his timid, social outcast exterior, you have a character who:

* designs high-quality clothes for his love interest for free. For FREE.

* is happy to make clothes for his love interest because he knows her dream is to be a cosplayer

* is a good cook and cooks for his love interest, especially since she canonically is not good at that

* takes time to understand his love interest’s fandoms and interests. Not only that, he actually gets into them. This is a huge deal to Marin since Marin talks about how she would recommend her fandoms to other people, but no one would really follow up on her recommendations.

* is dedicated to making his love interest happy. For example, he was willing to design a whole cosplay over one night because he thought that Marin asked him to do so.

* is secretly smooth with his words. For example, he delivered this whole monologue about how sacred the word “beautiful” is to him, that he can only say the word if he truly meant it. Later on, he tells Marin that she’s beautiful.

This is why Gojo is a S-tier romcom love interest. You don’t have to question why Marin falls for him, the story does a good job showing why.

recently we were out on a hilltop taking photos of the comet and suddenly some car's headlights blind us from across the bay. literally four miles away.

who the fuck is out here with these nuclear fusion powered headlights. who puts naval searchlights on their fucking toyota tacoma.

So... I love your take on Silver becoming a royal and want to do something similar for my own project.

Just so I don't accidentally get the details mixed up with yours, what exactly is Silver and Blaze's relationship and how did that come about?

That said, great art! it is inspiring me to undertake my own Sonic AU project.

They're married

I just found the earliest email I ever sent from my email address, and it’s the funniest goddamn thing I can possibly imagine a fourth grader sending her teacher:

(Context - my fourth grade teacher was on maternity leave, and the class had conferenced at recess regarding the poor state of the classroom goldfish’s tank. We decided to inform our (24yo, new mother) former teacher of the dire situation, and I was selected as the duly appointed representative for this solemn communication.)

It’s that time of year. Reblog with how many you’ve heard of.

Just read ch111 of kisekoi and I absolutely ADORE that Marin's friends have basically adopted Wakana into their group 🫶 of course it's been building up since previous chapters (especially after the sports festival arc that he really gets closer to some classmates, like how two of them stand with him outside school while he waits for Akira)

But also 😭 watch out Marin another blond with pierced ears is about to steal your man

Murakami was the friend that treated Wakana to ramen in chapter 90-90.5!!

I also really like how he gets along with the other boys in the group (Takeru, Kensei, Kashiwagi) but Murakami just stands out lmao

Fucking THRILLED that Brennan Lee Mulligan is a fan of Brian David Gilbert's early webseries masterpiece Dances Moving. Genuinely the way he worked through his grief of moving out of his home town to a strange new city and all the things he had to leave behind in Baltimore through the medium of instructional dance videos is... Insane? Beautiful? Me and my brother still play See the Day together on a semi-regular basis when we jam. Everyone watch Dances Moving, it's short and on youtube you have no excuse.
