Hey I’m confused by the first two words of your response but everything I agree with. People are still finding themselves and in the end, it is speculative media. Either or not intentionally is up to debate (my own East Asian baggage) but I’m interested to hear more about what you have to say.
In the end, it’s my opinion and you may or may not agree and that’s fine.
It’s weird. I’ll watch Banana fish, Sk8, JJK, Buddy Daddies and even Link Click and come to the conclusions that the main mlm ships (Ash x Eiji, Langa x Reki, Geto x Gojo, Kazuki x Rei, & Lu Guang x Cheng Xiaoshi) are all just good friends and have no romantic chemistry.
It’s honestly really jarring to not really engage in previously named fandoms until much later after completing the show and being surprised by people’s interpretations of character interactions.
For example, until Reki and Langa talk about something else besides skateboarding, I don’t see any romantic chemistry. Same with Kazuki and Rei with something else other than Miri and their jobs, Lu Guang and Cheng Xiaoshi with their time traveling, and I think Geto and Gojo just needed more moments together. Ash and Eiji are an unique case, I read the manga first and I didn’t get queer vibes from the story. They also just seemed like good friends to me :/
However, I’ll believe Yuji and Megumi from JJK are totally into each other. I feel like it’s because they had more interactions within the story that suggested a stronger bond than Geto and Gojo. I don’t really get me either.
I feel like the Naruto fandom refuses to acknowledge that during the first time Kakashi preformed 1000 years of death on Naruto, our kid main character blushes. Like the punchline of the joke was that Kakashi fingered a boy and said boy liked it. What the fuck was the authour thinking?
Also like in the sports OVA, Sasuke “accidentally” shoves a baton up Naruto’s ass when he was racing and was fighting the urge to shit his pants. Naruto literally had to pull the baton out of his ass and continue the race. Again, what the hell.
I know people aren’t going to like the truth but Naruto canonically liked having Kakashi’s fingers up his ass and there have been too many instances of something up our main character’s butt.
NARUTO STANS I NEED YOUR HELP
I finished watching Naruto + Shippuden a few weeks ago and I’m so sad I put the show off for DECADES. I never watched it growing up despite watching a lot of anime and all my friends talking about it.
The only thing I knew about Naruto was that it was about ninjas and there was some bad guy with long hair.
Now that I’m into the fandom, I really wish I was in the loop while the show aired. Naruto seems to be forgotten by the general public and the fandom spaces seem really small. I vaguely heard all of the online discussion back in the day was on facebook or Naruto forums which are hard to access now.
I NEED THE KNOW THE TEA, EVERYONES THOUGHTS OF ANYTHING WHILE THE SHOW AIRED. Like what were the biggest theories, discussions, discourse, what did people think about the story, plot, characters, dub vs sub, anything. What were the community memes back in the day? What were peoples reactions to the arcs or major or minor plot lines.
Like what did people think about Sasuke ever changing outfits, or the five Kage summit arc, or the MEMES BACK IN THE DAY?!?!
I truly missed out and now no one really discusses this show outside of nostalgia because of Boruto. Oh also what did people feel about Boruto? And also the Naruto movies because there are like a dozen of them and the show aired for 15 years. What did people feel about the filler and flashbacks? How was the fandom like during anime cons or during the school yard/water cooler breaks with your workers if you were working when it aired?
Literally opening this discussion for word vomit and any and all thoughts.
IM JUST SO SAD AND HAPPY I WATCHED NARUTO AFTER IGNORING IT FOR SO LONG 😭
I see bulge
OK LIKE WTF!!! They need to drop this deleted scene as soon as possible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FF7 REMAKE GIRLIES PLEASE
Don’t say you played the game if you only watched the cutscenes!
I’ll be talking about wind materia and the girlie I’m having a discussion with doesn’t know what I’m talking about 😭😭😭
Or they call every sword Cloud has the buster sword even though it’s not 😭😭😭
There are already stereotypes that girls don’t play games. Yes each game now is 100 CAD but at least watch the gameplay element.
Female gamers like myself sometimes want to have discussions with other female gamers about both gameplay and story. Video game discussion is already dominated by dudes and sometimes you just wanna say you struggled with a mini game because your nails were too long 😭😭😭
One of the reason, why I love non canon ships (especially m/m relationships)....
Also, the reason, I got into and then fall in love with shipping is because the 'relationship' between maleMC and their (best) friend/rival/enemy in shounen series....
All shounen series will always be special with their "bromance" vibes...
I'll always love m/m ships (even if non canon) a bit more than any canon m/f ships....
Thank you so much dear authors and artist for sharing your works (fan fics & fan arts) of non canon m/m ships....
has anyone else considered how similar buddy daddies is to monster’s inc, or just me? LMAO
like the whole finding a kid, begrudgingly taking care of her at first, getting attached to then having to let her go. ik it’s a popular trope but it’s still funny
TIMMY ! GOBBLES !
