Noncon Friendship

I find your lack of whimsy disturbing

Also as a side note, shonen fans make me laugh because they will have serious power scaling discussions as if shonen writers don't just give their favourite characters ridiculous asspull power ups and rig fights in their favour all of the time.

Female characters are often used as jobbers/ are made to intentionally lose fights for the development of male characters, or to make other characters look stronger.

I need a female character in a shonen to be given an unbelievable asspull and only then will I believe that gender equality has been achieved in the genre.

This may be a broken take, but take the fuckign Shibuya arc.

Itadori- is getting his ass beat by Choso when choso has some spaghetti flashback.

Megumi- Is getting his ass kicked by Toji but then Toji takes possession of his body and offs himself. Megumi summons Mahoraga and then Sukuna shows up to kill Mahoraga so Megumi doesn't die. Also Megumi has hand to hand combat training but fundamentally he is a summoner, so his CT is actually not that useful in direct one on one hand to hand combat and he gets his ass kicked a lot by the likes of Toudou and a lot of other characters.

Meanwhile:

Nobara- Yeah she has the shit fight against Haruto but Nobara Is doing well against Mahito's clone, Mahito calls her his natural born predator and she has some good strategic moments before dying in the most low down dirty disrespectful way possible when actually it would have been interesting if her CT was his demise and Gege should have let the whole "natural born enemy" thing play out so Nobara had a serious W.

As a side note, many people say she wouldn't have survived the culling games.

JUST GIVE HER AN ASSPULL-- like every other shonen character gets. The whole genre is built off of asspulls. Black flashes in JJK effectively exist as a plot convenience-- I am tired of us having serious conversations about a genre that basically just is hype moments and aura farming.

"I hate you," and you're the object of all my desire and the bane of my existence

honestly fuck the atla comics for even trying to convince us that zuko and katara went from ride-or-die besties, people who would risk life and limb for each other, practically soulmates, to acquaintances who had to make awkward small talk once in a while.

you’re actually telling me that after opening up about their deepest traumas to one another, after comforting and supporting each other in a way no one else did, after zuko nearly sacrificed his life for katara and katara fought tooth and nail to save him and wept over him… they just up and decided they weren’t gonna be close friends anymore because that’s definitely the next logical step in the progression of their relationship.

Nothing will ever beat the time someone on Reddit said to me, “Don’t tell me that if Griffith was standing right in front of him Guts would choose Casca over revenge” and I just replied with this

ekko's va, reed shannon rightfully calling out caitlyn for literally gassing the undercity, exercising police brutality, and not even taking accountability or apologizing for any of the oppression and violence she did against zaunites

and in turn, the arcane fandom calls him and ekko "monkeys" and other racially motivated names and slurs

Book 3 | That painful moment when we saw Zuko and Katara reach for the other from their POV *sob*

"They [stuffed animals] can offer a truly harmless comfort - and there are very few things in the world that can do that."

from a reddit thread about stuffed animals

hi!! i keep seeing posts/tiktoks about the fact that katara and azula are narrative foils and that katara is the sister that zuko never had, and that’s why zutara shouldn’t be shipped. I don’t know if this makes sense but like…I know it’s wrong (the premise isn’t but the conclusion is) I just can’t put it into words why it is. Does anyone have any metas about it? lmao
