Why don’t you just put longer responses behind a ‘read more’ cut so that they don’t fill up people’s dashes?

buddy.

you are following me.

not the other way around.

(unless we're mutuals. i don't know. you're the one with the mask on here.)

you're right. i could do that. but here's the thing, nonnie, some of the stuff i reblog is just as long or longer than those conversations i have and reblog, and i don't put those under a read more. there's not anything i can do about those. i literally can't put those under a read more because they're someone else's content that i'm reblogging to my account.

so what you're telling me is that you want me to censor just my content. not the stuff i'm reblogging. just me. me and my friends that i'm having a conversation with. i don't see you going into anybody else's inbox and telling them this stuff - or if you're a different anon, i don't see them doing that with anyone else either.

maybe because the other people who get these messages are smart enough to not answer them.

buddy. nonnie. friendo.

if you don't like my content, why are you following me in the first place?

and honestly. another friend (who i will not name because i don't want you bothering them) pointed out that there's an option literally in tumblr for you to have long posts shortened down.

you have the option to fix this yourself instead of coming to me and telling me to modify my account and my content - which you followed me for, by the way -to appease YOU.

so, yeah, nonnie. you're right. i could.

but it won't fix the problem. because i can't with every long post i might reblog. which means the problem here is me. and my content. not the long posts.

so, please. if you don't like my content. go somewhere else. and leave me alone.

lots of sympathy for the loki show having to deal with a version of the character fresh off the avengers movie and therefore having to bring up “so like you’re a god of mischief and chaos what is this weird obsession with order and control and no free will and fascism suddenly” and loki couldn’t just say “it’s because Joss Whedon is stupid”

nope instead they have to just have him fast forward through a clip show of times other writers understood his character better down the line (it was nice seeing Ragnarok again, I miss her) and be like “yeah shit man i guess i SHOULD be more like that”

it just plain makes sense that Winry is charming and sweet and has the best inner narrative, because Ed is great but he's also unfortunately kind of a jerk even at his best. I once saw him described as the obnoxious comic relief sidekick that had to become the main character after the real main character was unfortunately stuck in a suit of armor and i have never forgotten this

I love that joke, and it's canon to the manga omakeverse where Al is constantly plotting to take his place as the rightful main character (there's also that moment in the manga when Al gains his ability to transmutate without a symbol and Ed breaks the fourth wall in response, realizing Al is better or equal to him at everything but "being older' is like "this manga will now be renamed armored alchemist")

Buuuut I also think it does Ed a disservice to not acknowledge the fact that he's really heavily flawed is WHY he's a dynamic and memorable main character and why FMA sticks out to people. As Arakawa herself notes jokingly in an omake, his arc is not about "getting stronger" and "working hard" like so many of his shonen counterparts, because he started off at "level 100" but, it's about about letting go of his pride and realizing it's harmful not to communicate honestly and that he actually overvalues his powers, and also it's very bad how he tries to take everything on himself, and I think that's why FMA stands out compared to other shonen. There's no tournament arcs or anything, and the one time Ed and Al go to train, Winry even makes an offhand comment that she thinks it's weird to be so focused of physical strength and they better not turn into muscleheads, and Ed's like "no I want to be better mentally".

Also, lot of shonen is about 'friendship', but also kind of starts out with protagonists who are naturally friendly so there's not too much growth there? It's either circumstances that have kept them alienated or like, they already have tons of friends. But Ed actually genuinely is slow to trust, but not in a gritty way, he's not constantly angsting about it visibly or talking about it, it just comes across that he's genuinely hyper-focused on his brother at the beginning and has a hard time connecting to other people, even if other people want to look out for him. He's slow to let them in, and his tendency to close off and focus on his own guilt and responsibility leads to not communicating with Winry, and this actually blows up in his face and sparks ACTUAL VISIBLE CHANGE where he starts communicating with her better. And when he starts kind of making friends with everyone later on, it's notable. When he decides at the end the people who love him- not just Al, but everyone- are more important than alchemy, it's a really notable change! He goes from "my little brother is all I have left" to "It's okay if I have all of them".

Al's a flawed character too, mainly dogged by insecurities about Ed sacrificing himself for him, having a hard time speaking up when he's upset and being kind of dependent on Ed (it's very notable that the manga has a very long arc where Ed and Al are doing stuff on their own and they become comfortable being on their own and even make a choice to pursue separate career paths with their own separate friends before coming back together and pooling what they've learned). But his flaws suit being a supporting protagonist. He has less to work on than Ed and a lot of his issues are rooted in not being as proactive, which would be hard to sell for the main character of an action manga.

(And I've mentioned before, but why the characters in 2003 aren't compelling to me is they actually don't grown past this hyperfocus on each other, despite the fact the narrative tries to claim they have.)

I'm rewatching brotherhood with a friend now for the first time in like.. five years (lots of fandom realted trauma. lol) and it really sticks out how distinctive Ed is. He's fun to be around and it's fun to see shit blow up in his face (except for when it's very sad), but he's still flawed in really specific ways, and I kind of naturally know how his flaws will interact with a myriad of situations and how he will distinctively react, in ways I can't say for other recent shonen protags, even ones I like! Arakawa is just like, good at this writing thing. I get people who are sick of FMA's popularity, but it's not undeserved, she actually knows how to do a likeable asshole protag (who very specifically comes off as the kind of asshole because he was talented from a young age and then had to take on way too much responsibility, of course he thinks he's got this shit figured out, also he thinks god hates him and the feeling is mutual, big relatable energy) who genuinely gets better! without becoming perfect or losing his charm!

sometimes I just remember the Utena dating sim game and the fact that it exists and it’s official (and I liveblogged playing it) and it’s so amazing

- you can date Touga but then he’ll immediately burn everything you gave him as soon as you leave the school like what were you even expecting there

-there’s a secret route where you “steal” Anthy from Utena because Anthy gives Utena a loony tunes hammer instead of a sword to fight you with and utena is like “wtf why anthy” and she’s like “i dunno pranks” then you get into an erotic backwashing scene with her but I guess anthy immediately gets tired of you because utena “wins her back” the next day.

-if you get close to Miki Kozue pushes you down the stairs and he’s like “lol  she does that sometimes i forgot to tell you” SUPER CASUALLY 

-Juri is a gamer. AN ELITE GAMER.

-Juri keeps a razor blade on her at all times

-you can be a healthy romantic option for Juri and show her yes other women will love her and she doesn’t have to be ashamed, but she REFUSES to get over Shiori so instead she gives YOU a locket with HER picture to pine over because she wants YOU to be a tragic gay too. juri why.

-you can get carnapped by akio as a bad end but you spend the entire time being very confused about his melodramatic way of speaking and pointing out how stupid it is but he ignores you

-Utena will comment on how hot your naked body is while showering and how she wants to touch it and you’ll be like “youre checking me out huh” and she’ll be like BNO!DSDFENOEFFEno IM A NORMAL GIRL WHO WANTS A NORMAL GUY imefew3gs THIS NEVER HAPPENED” immediately

-Kozue dates the antagonist lady and then Miki’s like “she didn’t come home last night?” and Anthy’s like “probably fucking someone” and you try to do damage control “uh she could just be staying at another’s girl’s place! Sleepovers!” and Anthy’s like “true! She could be fucking a girl” and Utena is like “WHAT ANTHY WAIT WHAT DID YOU MEAN BY THAT???” and anthy’s like “what i said bitch”

-the student council positions are chosen in order of age so Touga and Saionji only got to be prez and vice prez be default. Utena is like “THAT’S SO STUPID???” and Touga just shrugs.

and that’s just scratching the surface. what a thing.

hi, @nikkirph​ ! i’m not a minor. eighteen, babey. nearly nineteen at that. feel free to link my blog.

do you realize how fucking dangerous it is to link someone posts about grooming with no idea what their triggers might be ? you should think on this one, maybe do some self-reflection. i’m not opening those, because as i just said, that’s fucking triggering. why would ask someone, someone you think is a minor, no less, to read about grooming for their ‘ betterment ‘? i’m not going to have discourse with someone that wanted to open a covid rp. i’m not a nice person, i am actually quite a bitch, but. i have wanted to open a covid rp. and i live by that. very sad that you cannot. you are so fucking condescending, it amazes me. please never interact with me again. i find it almost fascinating how easily you manage to be a complete and utter fucking asshole.

also ! you wanted to actively call someone out. let’s not pretend otherwise. you want attention, just admit to it. it’s okay. i’m very sorry you got the wrong type you were hoping for, try again next time, possibly ? as for this idea of minor spaces. i’ve heard it a lot ! great fantasy, and one i’ve entertained. but, wouldn’t creating a minor only space be, as you might say, asking for groomers ? we always talk about minors lying their ages, but what about adults ? like, honestly. have some critical thinking skills. jesus christ, dude.

anyways, uhhhh, go fuck yourself ! have a nice day !
