Happy pride. Reminder that your CO is not your friend. He's actually a huge cunt. Fuck that egg.

Equal opportunity slaughter isn't inclusive, it's more like...bro out here looking for any opportunity to get the SDU to kill invaders for humanity.

[Image ID: Three mostly black and white meme redraws using Ace Attorney characters. In the first, Trucy Wright is staring directly up out of the screen. Rainbow colored text reads" I know what you are." above an arrow pointing at her with hand lettered text reading "has 2 gay lawyer dads". The second is a cross sectioned image showing four couples. Ron and Desiree DeLite are embracing captioned "Normal Couple". Edgeworth and Phoenix are kissing captioned "Yaoi Couple". Juniper Woods and Athena are looking longingly at each other captioned "Yuri Couple". Godot, alone, gives a thumbs up captioned "I see no difference. Love is love." The final is a two panel comic of Phoenix in casual wear and Apollo, dressed normally. In the first panel, Phoenix says "it's pride month, Apollo. you know what that means." Apollo, looking confused, replies, "huh? what???" In the second panel, Phoenix walks away, looking smug, while Apollo yells after him, "do you want us to defend, like, gay clients? what?!" Behind Apollo, Athena looks concerned. /end ID]

Happy pride from the Wright Anything Agency (and happy pride from me, local shitpost art sheepy). No one can stop my sinful hands.

Basic Fandom Etiquette Everyone Needs to Remember:

Creators do not owe anyone content. Do not ask writers when they will update.

If an author did not ask for [negative] criticism , do not give criticism.

Read the tags carefully before reading a fanfic.

If you ignored the tags and were upset, that is your responsibility, not the creator’s.

Disliking a ship does NOT give you the right to attack people who enjoy it.

Do not tell authors or shippers that their ship is “disgusting,” “wrong,” or “shouldn’t exist.” Shipping fictional characters is not a moral failing.

No one is obligated to justify why they ship two fictional characters.

Headcanons are PERSONAL interpretations, not universal truth.

Dark themes in fiction do not equal real life beliefs or intentions.

Leaving kudos or short positive comments genuinely matters.

Not every fanwork is made for you, and that is okay.

Scrolling past content you dislike is better than engaging negatively

Enjoying a fandom later than others does not make someone less of a fan.

Disliking a fanfic does not entitle you to announce that to its creator. Sending hate comments to authors is NEVER justified, even if you disliked the work.

i forgot shadow 05 sucks so much but is so fucking fun

playing it for my good friend to talk about how much i love my beloved awful edgelord shadow coz like...yknow, im Normal(tm) about this guy

i genuinely have never been this giddy playing a game that sucks this bad in my life

[nekusakuraba]

eito is disabled canonically and nozomi is disabled subtextually and takumi? well that's just my little treat

[thefandomcassandra]

Drew some kind of cover art of my fic kaleidoscope of mirrors

You should read it if you like:

Mutual corruption arcs

Recognition of the Self in the Other (derogatory)

Eito POV

Nozomi actually being angry because she deserves it

Medical trauma and child abuse (of the neglectful and medical variety)

A vague scientific explanation of how the cryptoglobin experiments worked and why rejection symptoms are a thing

Nozomi having a chronic illness

Graphic descriptions of the horrors

Applying diagesis to the game that isn't overt but is there in the bg

[amalgamezz]

since the concept of "romance as horror" keeps getting misinterpreted, id like to propose a much clearer alternative: romance as an instrument of torture

14, 15, and 20 for the hndr ask meme?

The ask meme

14. Favorite platonic dynamic?

I have recently been like...really stupid into Darumi and Gaku as idiot children? Like they have this dynamic that's just....they're the two I can see acting like children and being children and doing stupid children stuff? And they wouldn't ever say they're friends--friendship is too "normie" for Darumi and Gaku wouldn't dare openly associate with Darumi coz she's a freak--but they are friends in the way that the two weird kids sitting at the lunch table alone are friends, yknow? Also they would love to find and battle stag beetles like...100% they're into Cool Bugs [points at Slasher-Zombie]

15. A dynamic you'd like to see/more of?

Nozomi and Eito. Full stop. Like they have so much in common that I would LOVE to see more of mask-off Eito interacting with Nozomi and her like...her trying to both rationalize his behavior while struggling with how similar they are. She would HATE the mirror that he is. And he would hate seeing himself in her too. It's kinda the impetus for kaleidoscope tbef lmao but that's neither here nor there.

20. Favorite commander absorption animation?

It's been a hot minute since I watched them but like...Gaku's always sticks with me because he looks so fucking miserable? Love any of the ones where the SDU member looks WRETCHED and like they hate it. They should. It's awful. Shouma and Kako are close seconds but only because I'm like 70% sure Kako isn't actually as upset by the act as she looks--her face just always looks very...sad and distraught.

Nozomi's mind makes several connections in very quick succession. The name Sumino called her when he first saw her—Karua, a name he said like a prayer, clutching at her like she was his lifeline—belongs to someone she resembles so closely that he mistook her for her; he continues to have this issue even now. This Karua is someone that is so intrinsic to who Sumino is that, even though he is trying his best, he still cannot separate her from Nozomi as a person. It is so bad that, in an attempt to perhaps help his friend—a designation that Nozomi is bringing into question now that she is experiencing the world through Eito's senses—Eito suggested that perhaps Nozomi is some kind of alternate universe version of this Karua. Eventually he rescinded this theory but Sumino is still considering it. She feels— "If you engage with Nozomi like she is Karua, then you are only going to alienate her further." She's talking through molasses. Her mouth is full of cotton. Her ears are full of water. She hates this so much. "Discarding the notion the two are related is the only way to allow your mind to form a connection with her as a person instead of her as an extension of Karua. Nozomi is Nozomi. You are just going to hurt her and yourself if you keep at it." He pauses. Thinks. Opens a dozen eyes. Closes a dozen more. Then his myriad hands haul himself forward, the hulking mass of his strange shapeless body wobbling and warping as he closes the distance between himself and Nozomi. Nozomi, who refuses to flinch, let alone blink. "I guess you're right." A beat. The sound of a cracking branch collapsing under the weight of itself, the feeling of ash and sparks against her skin, the rancid smell of burning to nothing choking. "You usually are." He sounds almost petulant. She only offers him a pale imitation of a smile as she unkindly wishes for him to just leave her alone. "That's nice of you to say, Takumi."

Drew a little pencil comic of a scene from kaleidoscope of mirrors and wanted to post it on tumblr.

surely my love and constant obsession with finding the most gentle and polite and kind character and determining that they're full of a deep and unfathomable dog-like rage that burns them from the inside out that they bottle up out of a deep fear of abandonment due to being unpalatable and unkind and a belief that if they aren't perfect that anyone who might have once said they like them will reveal themselves to be liars and drop them without a second thought has nothing to do with my own history and fears ha ha ha
