Reaal He's Just A Hurt Baby, He's Not That Mean Deep Down

can yall stop making those "my ovaries" "oh god im ovulating" jokes about being horny about someone?? its so uncomfortable and weird and dysphoric to see, and ngl it's fucking sexist. its giving, "woman are more emotional because hormones"

we were supposed to be normalizing the menstrual cycle because its a normal bodily function- but instead we're sexualising it???

as a trans guy who has pretty aggressive sex-repulsed episodes, it's super weird and disconcerting to see people say shit like that when they could just... idk make a horny joke? for the longest time i had been at peace with having periods and stuff and it didn't really cause a lot of dysphoria, but this dumbass trend has amped it up to a thousand, and i feel terrible and weird and dirty for having a menstrual cycle as a dude all over again.

the lights are bright, the booze is plentiful yet the thirst is still very real ;)

Me every time...

I'm aroace and since I was 16 this situation happens... I also started to identify as agender and xenogender since June 2023.

(I'm okay with all pronouns in all languages but not "it/its" cause I'm a living being, a person, not an object).

But I haven't told anyone about those two bc I don't have close ppl and I don't trust anyone either and I know no one will defend me or anything.

Every time I say that I'm aroace, it's always the same thing with allos ppl (queer or not).

It's soooo annoying ! The worst thing is that I explain this to them but they can't remember the definitions and/or only remember one orientation out of 2 !! 🤬

It pisses me off and infuriate me so bad !! 💀

Shout out to the queer ppl who have to explain their identity every time they tell someone (even other queer people) because nobody knows what the hell that is

Thank you for tagging me Sevonne !

I have a lot of favorite characters and comfort chara, I don't identify with them that much but I’ll try !

I'm usually angry, mad, upset (she's worse than me but I understand her), I've more of an inner anger/fury and if I'm pushed to the limit I can have verbal impulsiveness...

When I was younger, I had a complex about having small breasts and it saddens me that Kayo feel like, bc. QUEEN. You're damn perfect as you are ! And currently I would prefer to be as flat as a wall, as a bay window lol

Real Talk: Ace Didn't Need to Ask For Help, It's On Garp

i always hate when i see comments about how ace was an idiot or ace should have just asked garp for help because, no? like dawg wtf do you mean?

the one thing we have been told repeatedly across the manga and anime is that ace could have lived his entire life being perfect and he still would have ended up on that podium

he could have become a marine, a police officer, a teacher, a chef and all of that would have been reduced to nothing the moment his parentage was discovered

yes, ace became a pirate of his own volition, but sengoku never mentioned his piracy

he never mentioned all the criminal activity ace did as the captain of the spade pirates or even later as the second division leader of the whitebeard pirates

you know what sengoku did bring up though the moment he got on that damn podium? ace's parentage

he mentions nothing that gained ace his bounty to begin with when he gets that den den mushi in his hand. why?

because it doesn't matter that ace is a pirate. what matters is that they are eradicating the last gol d roger's bloodline

bear in mind that they were killing pregnant women and young children who could have even had the slightest possibility of being roger's lover or kin

akainu deadass says that he doesn't care if every other pirate at marineford escapes as long as ace and luffy died and he would ensure their deaths personally. and for what? not their piracy. none of their crimes. not even for ensuring that the truth that certain countries and lands that were actually saved by pirates instead of the marines never got out

but because their fathers were gol d roger and monkey d dragon respectively

solely because of that, he deemed neither of them deserved to live

and as far as garp goes - i love garp as much as the next person but garp has never done anything for ace to trust him enough to ask for help even if he felt he deserved to ask

garp's negligent parenting coupled with the abusive words ace grew up hearing led ace to believe he didn't even deserve to be born. when he even asks garp if his being born was a good thing, garp can't even tell him 'yes'. he just says 'time will tell'. my brother in the blue seas, that is an elementary schooler questioning his right to exist

ace is defeated by blackbeard in episode 325 (chapters 434-441), luffy hears about his execution being set in episode 416 (chapter 522) and then finally ace is killed in episode 483 (chapter 574). that is 158 episodes and 140 chapters total and in that time what ace receives from garp are conversations that boil down to

"you did this to yourself"

"i just wanted you to become a fine marine"

"i don't have sympathy for criminals but i do have sympathy for family"

and garp actively preventing those who wish to save ace from reaching him. yes after akainu strikes ace, garp does react viscerally with instinct to protect his grandson, but that's too little too damn late at that point

garp having his moral dilemmas mean nothing when, however long ace spent in impel down, he isn't trying to help him

garp having his 'wishing things had been different' thoughts mean nothing when garp is preventing people from saving his grandson

there's a reason garp lets dadan beat and berate him when they reunite in windmill village and it's because he knows she's right

over the course of 20 years, garp has consistently chosen work over ace and luffy. as much as i love dadan and co, bandits are not a good choice to have raise your grandkids and then be the surprised pikachu meme when neither of them wish to become marines

garp's inability to see past the system he disdains yet clings onto actively shoots him in the foot

prevents him from seeing that ace is right when he says he never could have become a marine

luffy could have never become a marine. i do hear arguments saying that luffy might have had a fair chance considering garp is biologically his grandfather but i say that's truly up in the air considering how, even with that knowledge, akainu still wants to put luffy on a poster

but that's all to say, asking why ace never asked garp for help is ridiculous

the fuck would ace look like asking the man who has done nothing but

unintentionally fostered ace's resentment towards luffy in their early childhood

told ace it was his own fault he landed where he did

falcon punched marco halfway across marineford

for help?

and that's not even mentioning the fact that up until that point, ace didn't believe he deserved to live. he didn't think he had the right to exist. the only thing that kept him going up until that point was hoping he'd find an answer that justified his being born and his love for luffy and sabo. ace tells luffy in his dying breaths if it weren't for the two of them, he would have gave up on living a long time ago

yes, garp loves ace and luffy

he loves them both dearly but he is also incapable of putting them before work, before his ideals of justice. these two truths can coexist at the same time. garp's stubborn to a fault and his moral dilemma resulted in both inaction and the prevention of ace's escape

so to say that marineford would have gone differently if ace had asked is seriously undermining the character work. because in reality, it's up in the air on whether or not that would have done anything. ace asking garp for help could have gone either way and that's the beauty of the gray area regarding garp's actions during the summit war

and yes, i can get why it's frustrating that ace turned around to fight akainu when he could have just left and got it back in a blood a different time

but aside from ace having a temper about specific topics, we do get an answer as to why he couldn't bring himself to runaway when we finally are able to dive into his past with luffy and sabo:

he doesn't want to run away from any situation because ace is deathly afraid of losing something if running away ends up being the bad call

and in that moment, luffy was behind him

even if akainu hadn't talked down whitebeard, ace would have inevitably turned back around because he wouldn't have been able to shake his fear of losing something or someone he cared about

as long as there is something precious for him to potentially lose, ace will never run

he was doomed from the start

his being the son of gol d roger doomed him from the start

and that's what makes ace so tragic

My Favorite Characters In KNB!

Pt.1

I'm not ranking the characters because I don't think I will be able to and I don't love ranking characters either. Anyway, I need to rant about KNB with Mine more.

Murasakibara Atsushi

Honestly, this titan is very relatable character and while his character in some ppl's eyes is reduced to snack lover man child, I think he's way more well written than that.

Obviously, when he first showed up, we immeadiatelly got impression that despite his huge size, he's pretty nice person and even, as he was described by Seirin members, pretty childish for high schooler. What I love about him is that him being childish isn't described as him being dumb, overly positive, immature in annoying way, overly expressional, energetic and etc. (Like how Ranpo is or how Dazai immature and childish acts) but rather, he doesn't express his emotions much and is lazy and he's probably one of the most pessimistic character in the show and doesn't have colorful voiewpoint of things such as basketball, school and even friends. Is he immature? Yes. He's not mature enough to turn down provocations, easily gets annoyed just because others pov doesn't align with his, gets frustrated because others have what he doesn't and of course he's crazy over snacks. Even Aomine said that they could just throw snacks on the road snd Murasakibara will follow to pick them up and apparently, come back to Tokyo. He gives up easily which is what kids tend to do, at least most of the time. I love how he's not your stereotiped childish character like how Gojo from Jujutsu Kaisen, Ranpo & Dazai from Bungou Stray Dogs, Yato from Noragami and etc gets portrayed. (Tho Ranpo is lazy genius too but he's more anime stereotiped childish character).

Now let's talk about his view on talents and hardwork. Murasakibara thinks hardwork is not necessary and is annoyed by people who works hard to be good at basketball. He thinks if you have no talent for it then why are you even trying it? And it makes sense because he has natural talent and he never had to work hard and if something was hard for him to do then he simply wouldn't do it because he doesn't know how to work hard. It's like a genius kid passing exams without studying then when he actually needs to study, he doesn't know how because he did all that without working hard. But there's something else Murasakibara doesn't understand in the first place when it comes to hardworkers: their passion. How can you be passionate and motivated of something you don't even have talent of? That's what Atsushi can't understand. The feeling when you worked your ass off for something like exams, basketball or whatever you want and that hard work pays off is pure joy which makes you love sports or whatever you worked hard for even more. How can Atsushi understand that when he has never worked hard for basketball and is simply good at it? He got bored out of his mind because of that since winning came naturally to him, he never worked hard and obviously he could never feel that joy and passion and THAT'S WHAT HE HATES THE MOST. He's so good at basketball yet he lacks passion for it and even thinks it's boring. He's frustrated because he can't grasp that passion. Despite Atsushi's frustration and anger, he doesn't wish to injure players and even can be surprisingly gentle. He's not aggressive, he's gentle in his own way.

Now when it comes to his friends it honestly depends. For example, he's very friendly with Kuroko, he even bought Kuroko a drink as a thank you gift in Special or Replace novel (I can't remember) and he's pretty gentle with him. Probably because Atsushi doesn't think of Kuroko as a threat. But when he did in Yosen vs Seirin match, he was lot meaner to Kuroko. His friendship with Kuroko is different from Akashi's. In fact, Murasakibara considered Akashi as a threat and thought he could defeat him so he threw their friendship away and decided to abandon him which caused Akashi to snap and defeat Murasakibara so their friendship could go on. Not only theirs but team's. But, of course, Akashi was Atsushi's friend, he just discovered his newfound talent and got way too cocky which often happens in children. His friendship with Himuro, though, is even more wholesome in my opinion. With Himuro, Atsushi accepted his friend as a friend and even played at his 100% against Seirin after he saw how deeply Himuro felt. I think after that, Murasakibara started appreciating and understanding friendships more and even didn't mind hardworkers.

He's just so relatable that I'm going to explode.

Kise Ryouta

I honestly can't think of even ONE reason why would anyone dislike Kise but unfortunately, he's being discriminated not only in the anime but also in the fandom which makes me want to break bones as he's definitely my top 1 favorite character in Kuroko No Basket.

Funnily enough, Kise is being discriminated because apparently he's too good looking. While girls swoo over him, boys treat him in hot and cold manner. He's stereoriped as dumb blonde, when he's not one. His optimistic and chatty personality is treated as nuisence when irl such personality would be appreciated, especially by elders. For example his mindset of "Yesterday's enemies are today's friends" which is often mindset of disciplined sportmen but it earned scoff from Midorima as if it's the most rudiculous thing ever to be said. I'd say even in anime Kise's character is reduced to being good looking because most characters treat him like that. But his character is so complex, even author talked about it.

Kise isn't just optimistic, bubbly and friendly characters when he's canonically stated to be two faced character due to his job as a model. He singles out people who he respects and who he doesn't respect by cchi. For example, he ignored Kagami's presence and even looked down on him in season one before Kise started respecting him and calling him Kagamicchi. Speaking of s1 and Teiko arc, Kise was pretty immature to the point of annoying the fuck out of Kasamatsu and even got "hit" by him on the very first day. Kise can be both mature and immature when time calls it but throughout seasons, we see how he matured little by little which amazes me. In movie, he wasn't like s1 Kise at all because he was a lot more mature. Aside from maturity, let's talk about how Kise thought relying on your teammates meant weakness. Since Generation of Miracles stopped playing as a team and even challenged each other with how many points they could score. They were rivals even if they were playing in the same team. No wonder Kise thought relying on your teammates was a sign of weakness. In s1, we already saw how obsessed he was with winning and how much he hated losing. He even cried over a practise game, which was meet by confusion. "Is kise crying? I get it he's upset but it's just a practise game." was said by people who watched the friendly match. Yet Kise didn't think of it as same. How long has it been since he lost? He doesn't remember. He has been so used to winning in Teiko that he completely forgot how it much it hurts to lose. Slowly, he started to realise that it's okey to rely on your teammates just as they rely on you, that he wasn't weak for that, for needing help. I think Kise had greatest character development in s2 and/or in Kaijo vs Too Academy. That's when he realised that he was carrying his teammates dreams on his back as Ace of the team, that teamplay is necesarry in basketball. He realised how much his teammates supported him and believed in him not because he's Generation of Miracle but because they trust him, Kaijo's Kise Ryouta. After they lost, he trained hard with injured leg because he didn't want to see his team suffer like that again. He took his position as Ace more seriously and overworked himself which is character developments itself. Due to Kise being able to observe and learn at first glance, he hasn't been a hardworker, especially not to this point. In the meantime, he realised how much he loved this team. How much he loved Kaijo High School's Basketball team.

Aside from his character development, let's talk about him in general. How he has to put masks on his face since he's celebraty, popular model and he can't trust many people. For example, Kise is very very nice to his fangirls no matter how many times and how much they will cross the line but he doesn't think they want him for anything other than his looks and money. And Haizaki proved him that. When Haizaki stole Kise's "girlfriend" thinking that'd be the way to break him the most since he just thought of him as no better than pretty boy who's only value lies there yet Kise wasn't upset about that at all but because he wasn't good enough. I love how popular Kise is and that's exactly why he was lonely, why he craves genuine connections now. Even his type of girl is someone who loves and respects him for who he is, not for his looks or status. Oh Kise's quite high achiever who craves more and more because it's not enough for him, how he now overworks himself because he chases to be more than he is. How he tries and tries to be enough and pays more attention to his failures than his wins, which is why he thought he was "so fucking uncool" when he literally did the impossible by combining Perfect Copy and Zone together. How he craves genuine, sincere love that goes beyond his job as a model and him being Generation of Miracle but it's always out of reach.

AND HOW SOME PEOPLE CAN'T REALISE THAT KISE LASTS WITH HIS PERFECT COPY MORE THAN FIVE MINUTES, BUT EXACTLY THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME AOMINE LASTS IN ZONE!!!

Brothers in every universe

More Mahitos. Because.

Once I saw a comment on a instagram post about the ace, aro spectrums that said approximately :

"For me, all characters in any fictional universe are aroace until they show romantic and/or sexual attraction and I headcanon them as aroace/are part of both spectrums."

AND I AGREE WITH THIS PERSON IT'S SO OBVIOUS !

AROACE AND QUEER (OR NOT) PLATONIC RELATIONSHIP OR NOTHING. ‼️‼️‼️‼️

Waiter! More aroace representation in modern media, please!! And add some extra queer platonic relationships on top!!
