Ahhhh, Please Protect Innocent Child 😫🥺

Where is this from? Is this an ad or something?

Yes pretty much. I get it’s a reactionary response but as I mentioned, let’s try to avoid thinking black or white on a fictional character that has lots of screen time and made various decisions throughout the show/story. I agree with you that her heart was in the right place despite it completely backfiring on her. As the episode showed later on, she def needed a second opinion on more than just that (you know the who I’m gonna kill Sasuke by myself thing?).

Side note!

Sai positioned himself as a third party with a more grounded/earnest opinion on the situation but he admitted that he shouldn’t had told Sakura his opinion on their relationship because it caused Sakura to make ultimately an oopsie decision that upset Naruto. It’s messy but hey, there is a reason why Shippuden was 500 episodes lol

The issue I have with Sakura stans as another Sakura fan is that some have a tendency to think black or white. I’m unsure if it’s because of how much hate a character who really didn’t deserve it got during the Naruto heyday.

Regardless, if you have an opinion that isn’t 💯 positive all around, a subsection of fans will attack you. Like you can literally say nothing negative about the character and people will act like you do.

Maybe it’s a ESL thing. I find that if I’m having a discussion with someone and it’s clear to me that we are talking about two different things, the miscommunication is from a language barrier, people can’t read well or it’s anger issues that makes people skip words.

For example, I had a discussion about Sakura and Naruto’s dynamic with Sasuke. I said that Sakura is the more reasonable one as Naruto’s constant defending for Sasuke even though he’s technically wrong is absurd. But that’s just Naruto. He sees the good in everyone, even people who genuinely don’t deserve it at times.

Somehow someone took that and responded with I’m calling Sakura a whore, bitch and dumb and that I’m sexist. If Sakura did it she’s that but when Naruto does it it’s endearing LMAO.

Me dunking on Naruto and saying Sakura is more reasonable is apparently swapped in that person’s mind.

Honestly there is a reason why people don’t like Sakura fans because some of them took the hate that her character got and took it in the wrong direction.

I love gay dragoons 🏳️‍🌈

Headcanon: The entirety of Danganronpa happend just because Junko was going though her edgey teenager phase

YESS

I feel like no one acknowledges that realistically, the two weren’t going to work well together in an environment where there are higher stakes. They both have different life philosophies among other things.

It’s a general life lesson everyone learns but that’s not the point of LC but an interesting aspect/deconstruction of the best friend trope working together.

Link Click & AX

Was not able to go to AX but found this from someone who did on reddit.

This is one anecdote from the director regarding the show.

"...regarding the choice/dynamic of having 2 male MCs: having observed many other media, Haoling decided that splitting 1 protagonist into 2 characters would make for better storytelling. by giving the characters only half of what they need, their abilities are more grounded, they are forced to cooperate socially, it gives the audience more entertaining and dynamic banter, and they must build trust in order to effectively accomplish tasks."

Love this statement. When I would explain to my friends why people should watch LC, I would say its a time travel show with an unique premise. There are two main leads. Imagine both are trying to ace a midterm (you can pair up with a buddy lol). One person has the paper & pencil and the other has the answer key. They can't ace the midterm alone without the help of each other's resources - so they must to work together to ace the test because they can only do it once. What seems like a simple example gets applied to solving puzzles/mysteries and finding data.

The interesting part is that the main leads have very different approaches to accomplishing the tasks that they are given. Even though they were friends for a long time, when serious things happen like working a job together, they struggle with their different mindsets and it causes a lot of strife between them.

Slowly, there became a lack of trust between the leads as both of them start to withhold info from the other. That makes it worse and it hits a boiling point.

Something so simple that happens all the time in real life yet is often never depicted in such a real sense, particularly in an animation format. I like the style of anime but I want my stories to be grounded. I want to see my struggles on the screen.

It's also kinda validating to see a friendship fall apart once you decide to become co workers with one another and realize that just because you two both like basketball, doesnt mean maybe you should run a high-stress somewhat illegal business together right after uni to pay off debt :/

THISSS^^^

We NEED MORE GAMER GIRLIES OR THOSE WHO CARE ABOUT THE INTEGRITY OF SEPHY FANFICS. People who love Sephy and played the game will look up the fanfics after playing or something, only to find it mainly or noticeably coming from folks who didn’t get his character because they only watched crisis core on YouTube and skipped half of the cutscenes that didn’t feature him. That are they watched advent children and based his entire dom daddy personality on that alone and nothing else.

We are fully capable of writing good Sephy fics if more people took the time to actually enjoy FF7, not just watch the spin off material and call it a day.

Yall I love all of you Sephiroth girlies but I have a big favour to ask yall.

PLEASE PLAY THE GAMES. Dont just watch only watch the 40 minute Sephiroth cutscene on YouTube and base your entire perception of the guy. If yall at least learned the plot of the game, you would really appreciate the character more.

MORE OVER, THE QUALITY OF SEPHIROTH FANFICS WOULD INCREASE SIGNIFICANTLY IF YALL COULD REFERENCES SOME OF THE GAME’S LOCATIONS AND NAIL DOWN SUPPORTING CHARACTER MOTIVATIONS AND PERSONALITY.

Some of yall don’t know Sephiroth’s characterization and seem to go off your personal headcanons or use typical anime tropes when writing him. Sephiroth isn’t some anime bad boy, he’s vindictive, petty and scary soft spoken. Just look at how he flicked Aerith’s blood off his masamune towards Cloud. Or when his hand kept running up Cloud’s back and up unto his neck in one of Cloud’s hallucinations. I get that from watching clips out of context, his actions might seem like a dom daddy and all but he’s more than that if you see it through different perspectives. Like don’t forget, he’s trying to destroy the world with a giant meteor crashing down and wiping everyone out.

Just putting it out there.

art for a project im working on that i never ended up using

What I’ve been missing in my life

Naruto and sasuke still make me so insane like I already said this yesterday but few other relationships in fiction perfectly capture the gut wrenching heartbreak of having an intense homoerotic friendship and then having a messy falling out as teenagers

OK LIKE WTF!!! They need to drop this deleted scene as soon as possible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Apparently the drums only play in BW when you walk? I was almost always walking or getting immediately into a battle so if I noticed this, it was quickly dashed away as a coincidence. This attention to detail is why Gen 5 is such a banger
