I wish the ppl who make those “woman are poorly written in anime” videos will get to a point where they’ll realize that anime isn’t shounen. This stuff has been around since the 50s and there are a lot more genres that exist outside of shounen.

i think some people need to realise that women being strong and/or badass in fiction does not mean that their character is well written and well developed. it’s actually insanely easy to give a woman character a backstory full of trauma but put her in a sexy outfit and show her “fighting good” or being snarky - but not actually engage with her trauma, not give her meaningful relationships, not give her complex goals. it’s mostly tho ofc not entirely men that talk this way about women in fiction, and i think they’re well-meaning in trying to uplift women in fiction that they think are cool, but coolness does not a good character make. i’m not saying that no “strong female character” is well written, i can think of quite a few, but it’s not a sufficient criteria, and i think a lot of genuinely well written women in fiction are overlooked because people (again mostly men but not entirely never entirely) can’t relate to them and don’t care to try to.
anyways top two tips for finding media with well written female characters! 1) consume media written by women and 2) stop consuming things written for adolescent boys!!!!
the way anime fans beg for well written female characters and then refuse to explore any genres outside of shonen is super frustrating
I understand if shonen is your favorite genre and you just want to see well written women in that genre (that is going to be more difficult but they do exist) and that’s a whole other conversation
but if it’s about how there’s “no good female characters in anime” or “I want to see women having personalities in anime” then there is a whole world outside of shonen where you will be able to find them easily. I’m not going to pretend that misogyny isn’t an issue outside of shonen but it’s actually incredibly easy to find female anime characters that are deep, have personality, are pivotal to the story, etc. etc. etc. you just have to look outside of the top 5 most popular action shows and they will be there
i'm so well fed with amazing female characters in magical girl anime that i forget there's people who only watch shonen and think that's a whole representation of female characters in anime. how sad. you need some sailor moon, precure, and cardcaptor sakura, in your life.
Well written anime women, my beloveds!
Shonen anime could learn a thing or two! *COUGH* My Hero Academia *COUGH* Naruto
Seriously, I hate MHA
This is where I take the opportunity to debunk this really ridiculous argument about Edward Elric.
I’ve seen a lot of criticism for how emotional Ed is in this series. He doesn’t cry often, but he tears up and expresses a lot of negativity that doesn’t fall under your typical shonen macho bravado.
Edward Elric is a fifteen year old boy.
Edward Elric is a traumatized, injured, lonely, orphaned fifteen year old boy who has had to take on responsibilities that are far above his maturity level.
He has endured pain on the level of a soldier in a full-scale war and then some.
He has had flashbacks triggered, he’s lost two of his limbs, he has nightmares of blood and decaying flesh, he has lost his mother, he blames himself for what happened to his brother, he watched an innocent child die and blames himself for that too, he has just recently admitted he doesn’t have anyone older he can trust right now, he has nearly been murdered with knives and with amplified alchemy designed to blow his brain apart, he doesn’t have a home, he’s cut himself off from his remaining family besides Al for their own protection after seeing what dangers his job incurs.
He loses sleep on research. He carries limbs that are too heavy for his body mass. He is regularly called upon to solve problems that are better left in the hands of adults by other adults he distrusts because he feels like they will only exploit him.
All while trying to be the adult he is just not ready to be. Not yet.
You will never experience half of what this kid experienced. This orphaned, child soldier, amputee who is trying to save he and his brother’s livelihoods under corrupt authorities who’d kill him for stepping out of line.
He deserves to shed tears.
So, I’m rewatching s2 of yowapeda, and I think I found the exact moment when Imaizumi completey and absolutely falls head over heels for Naruko - that is, when he sees him climbing during the thrid day. I mean, you can pinpoint the exact moment his mind goes blank for a moment and then he realizes that he’s so fckn in love with the red flashy dork in front of him
Here, I have proof
*softly* Holy shit
Boy is literally in awe, he can’t stop staring at Naruko like he’s seeing him for the first time.
And here we can see him thinking about how friggin amazing Naruko is (really, he’s thinking that, something like that he is so amazing that he can even inspire his own teammates)
Holy shit I might be a little in love with him <– we all know this is exactly what he’s thinking. You’re not fooling anyone, Imaizumi.
It’s like, he has always known that Naruko was amazing, but right now he’s realizing how fckn amazing he actually is
And then! After everything, after they have already lost two teammates and he knows that they will have to sacrifice someone else and that not all of them will make it to the finish line - after that, when he realizes that Naruko is exhausting himself, he still tries to stop him! Look at how concerned he is:
And then, after Naruko drops out, what does he says? I’m going to win for him. Yo, Imaizumi, your crush is showing :v
Look at him, so determined to win for Naruko :v
So, yep, here, that’s the moment when Imaizumi finally stops lying to himself and finally admits that he has the biggest crush on Naruko (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧

Very helpful!!
I like Hiei a normal amount
Hi !! What are the best tips you can give for someone who is travelling alone for the first time?
Thanks anon. Ok this is going to be an insight into my mind (I consume a fair amount of True Crime). I've travelled alone quite extensively and here are my tips for staying safe:
Never tell a stranger/cab driver etc that you are alone- I always say I'm visiting someone or here for work. As a Londoner I'm allergic to small talk with strangers so I often deflect by saying I've got a headache and would like some peace.
If a child/woman/person approaches me claiming to be lost or in need in some way. I won't ever go with them anywhere, instead I will go into a busy bar/restaurant and ask them to call the local police. Or tell them it's not my problem.
Walk with purpose and try not to look lost if you can help it.
If you're in a hostel, Empty Aspirin cartons are a great way to hide money.
Take a travel debit card that is pre-loaded with a set amount of money. Leave it in your hotel room/in a secure location so you're never stranded without cash.
Check in with someone daily if you can - whatsapp, email, text etc.
Try to avoid getting drunk alone.
Honestly, my solo trips have been amazing and full of self discovery so don't be scared of it, just be reasonably cautious.
Hope that helps :D

Now Daisuke is a fine and rich specimen but Haru? Haru Kato is 👌👌👌
『 As your boyfriend | FKBU Headcanons 』
Characters: female!reader, Kambe Daisuke, Kato Haru
Tags/warnings: Fugou Keiji Balance: Unlimited (anime), 18+, strong sexual references, fluff, angst, Haru's PTSD, headcanons, daddy kink and cockwarming (kind of?) for Daisuke, breeding kink for Haru *coughing intensifies*
⚠️ 18+ CONTENT! MINORS: PLEASE DO NOT INTERACT ⚠️
A/N: Felt like writing some more for these boys because ~holy shit~ do I love them, and I maybe went a teensy bit overboard. Oopsie! 🤭 But anyway, have y'all seen episode 6?! Let's freaking gooo! (No spoilers, don't worry) Thanks for reading! Enjoy! Imo~
Kambe Daisuke
First up: daddy kink. I know it, you know it, we all know it. So let's not beat about the bush
Quite dominant and firm with you (see: daddy kink)
But he absolutely loves spoiling you
Expensive gifts, like one-of-a-kind necklaces, seductive perfumes, satin dresses, lace underwear, etc.
He loves dressing you up and showing you off
But he also loves spoiling you in bed more like ruining, I am deceased
A lot of butt grabbing in public hnng
He likes it when you don't wear any underwear because it makes for easier quickies like bent over the sink in the bathroom at his favourite club
He likes you sitting on his lap in front of people, too aye papi
American gangster vibes, honestly
He's not really one for soppy, romantic PDA, but he loves you letting people know that it's him you want and nobody else
He loves the look on people's faces when you call him 'daddy' that grin will be the death of me
Especially the look on Haru's face, lmao. He blushed like a tomato and couldn't speak a coherent sentence for a whole hour
Hickeys. Lots and lots of hickeys. And don't even think about covering them up
Daisuke loves sleeping naked and has a habit of walking around the house in just a towel when he gets out the shower fight me
He's also completely oblivious to what it does to you
A MASSIVE bed with super soft, satiny sheets. They feel like clouds uwu
He gets HEUSC to remind him of important dates, like birthdays, anniversaries, etc.
Date Ideas: Unlimited sorry, not sorry
From fancy restaurants, to exclusive movie premieres, to late night helicopter rides to the other side of the country, Daisuke can and will pay for anything if it makes you happy
He also lets you introduce him to lots of new things, like trying different kinds of street food on dates, going rowing on the pond in the park, having a go at karaoke, renting bikes and cycling round the city, going hiking at the nearest nature reserve or wilderness, etc. adorable
He's like a curious kitten when he's trying new things, putting a lot of trust in you to guide him through it
He always looks perfect in the photos you snap, even the ones he wasn't aware you were taking, and it's a lowkey frustrating that he nearly always looks prettier than you
But it's not his fault, so you'll only pout for a little while
His face is pretty hard to read most of the time, but you eventually get used to it and pick up on all his little mood indicators
His ears move when he's happy, and you can't convince me otherwise
He'll hold your heels for you when your feet hurt on a night out
He smells of leather and sandalwood, and his kisses taste of expensive whisky and cigars
He loves it when you bite his lower lip while making out
He's kind of possessive, but in a protective way
He never thought of himself as a particularly jealous person, until one night he came back to the bar and saw some other guy hitting on you the attention was definitely unwanted on your side
It made his blood boil – clenched fists, piercing glare if looks could kill
But he managed to stay calm and maturely tell the guy to get lost, with his arm snaking round your waist
Daisuke made it very clear that it wasn't you he didn't trust. It was that he didn't trust that guy – or any guy, for that matter
His favourite ~position~ is on a table or other surface with your legs over his shoulders
He's a god at eating you out
He's a god at everything in the bedroom, tbh
Saint Laurent condoms, because he's that fucking extra I'm screaming
His hair always falls out of place when you're fucking it's so hot and cute, wtf
It's a lot of glitz and glamour on the surface, but when it's just the two of you, you know just how much you mean to him
The King of Aftercare™
He used to suck at aftercare until he properly tried it. Then he realised that he needed it as much as you did le cry
Back rubs, forehead kisses, playing with your hair, soft whispers in your ear
He holds you so tightly that it gets hard to breathe, and you can feel his heart beating hard against your back
Sometimes he likes to just stay inside you after finishing
He enjoys the feeling of you around him, and honestly, you like just feeling him being inside you cockwarming, kind of?
Soft little nuzzles with his nose in his sleep even better when he's fallen asleep while still inside you
He's not perfect, but being with you makes him try to be better
Help, my heart's so full 🤧
Kato Haru
This man is a sweetie pie, honestly
Not just boyfriend material, but husband material put a ring on it, hun
Lots of home cooking, and it all tastes so good you honestly believe he could just quit being a cop and open up a restaurant
He loves cooking with you, too. It's fun bonding time
Sometimes he stands behind you and guides your hands etc. it sometimes goes a little further, if ya know what I'm saying 👀
Knows how to do all the chores and housework, and actually does his share look at my practical hubby
Random pillow fights that turn into cuddle sessions
He talks in his sleep waaahh, so cute
Sometimes it's utter nonsense, like 'Don't let the donuts escape'
Other times, it's things like, 'I love Y/N so much,' or 'Let's have babies,' while he's holding onto you, and you just melt
Spooning. So much spooning
Lots of budget date ideas, like building pillow forts, watching sunsets and stargazing from the balcony, going for hikes and runs together, going for picnics, feeding ducks at the pond, etc.
One time, a duck chased him around the pond because he had the bread, and he had to run for 20 minutes before it gave up thank God for all that cardio
The Master of Flat Pack Furniture™ – because he takes his time and actually reads the instructions
Daisuke had a ™ so Haru needed one too
Takes good care of you on your period and actually knows about different sanitary products
He smells really fresh and clean, like Imperial Leather soap and air-dried laundry as long as he hasn't been on a stakeout, lmao
He loves taking showers with you, but like, actual showers
The first and only time you had shower sex was hot and steamy until:
1. You realised that water does not a good lube make and 2. He slipped and accidentally shoved his dick in your ass instead
You fully passed out, and he was so frantic that he bundled you into the car and drove you straight to the ER you were in just a towel, might I add
You both look back on it now and laugh, but he was genuinely scared
Shower sex = never again
But he loves it when you straddle his lap and start grinding on him bonus points if you kiss his neck and run your hands through his hair
He's a pretty vanilla boy when it comes to sex, preferring positions like missionary and cowgirl, and liking a fairly even balance of power
He got super embarrassed and flustered when he finally mustered up the courage to suggest having car sex
And then even more embarrassed and flustered when you actually ended up doing it
He was blushing so hard the entire time and came really quickly, which only added to his embarrassment but you thought it was cute
He has really sensitive nipples which you use to your advantage
He absolutely loves hates it when you send him nudes or try and sext him while he's at work, because he gets a massive boner and will either have to live with it and probably get laughed at by those goobs in the office, or deal with it in the bathroom, which feels wrong to him on so many levels
Doesn't really stop you sending them though, because whenever you do, he comes home and fucks you really well
One thing that's not vanilla about him is how much he likes cumming inside you breeding kink, welcome to the party. Please take a seat
He didn't tell you about it for the longest time because he was embarrassed about it and was afraid you'd think it was gross or something please cum in me, sir
He was so relieved when you were understanding about it and open to the idea of indulging him
But he genuinely really wants kids some day he'd be a great dad
His PTSD doesn't stop him being a good boyfriend, but he's convinced that it does
Most days he seems okay, like he's over it, even
But sometimes you'll wake up in the middle of the night and find him curled up in the bath, shaking and crying into his knees my poor baby, I can't
Excuse me while I go and cry into my pillow for a while
You're his safety net
When he feels like he's drowning, you keep his head above the water until the waves eventually calm and recede, and he can breathe again
He hates putting so much on your shoulders
But you swear to him that you wouldn't want to be doing anything else, and that you're not going anywhere
This got so angsty, my heart can't take this 😭
