Hello, hello, hello! For those who don't know or don't recognize me, let me reintroduce myself. My name is Dory, and this blog used to go by @justaweirdo06 and was a gacha-centric blog; however, due to a combination of me losing interest in gacha and life in general, I went on a LONG hiatus and officially quit on November 10th. But I am now back! However, as you may notice, I am going through a rebrand. The blog is now called "yourgirl_dory," and as of this post, from now on, this will be a fandom-focused blog, and I will not be as active as I was back then (being a pre-med student takes up a lot of your free time—who knew?).
Now that that's out of the way, let me finally introduce myself.

"He ruined two backstories" - a Kaigaku analysis (From a Zenitsu fan)
It's funny that despite being a Zenitsu fan account, most, if not all, of my (KNY) mutuals are Kaigaku fans aside from two, and from the outside this may look strange because people have this belief that just because I love one character, in this case Zenitsu, I automatically have to hate their archenemy, in this case Kaigaku, or something. But no, when I say I'm a Thunder Brothers fan, I am a Thunder Brothers fan. But if you dare admit to loving or even tolerating Kaigaku, you'll most likely hear this: "He ruined two backstories," referring to Gyomei and Zenitsu, and I just have to disagree.
NOW HEAR ME OUT!!!
First things foremost, I view a backstory as history that shapes a character's present behavior. This can include upbringing, culture, education, and social status. Usually this also involves a "Big Hurt": A specific traumatic event or significant past experience. Or "The Lie": A flawed belief, or misconception, the character adopted as a result of that past to protect themselves. With this definition in mind, let's see how Kaigaku affects these two characters.
Gyomei
Starting off with Gyomei, I can agree with the fact that Kaigaku ruined his life. We learned that before joining the corps, he lived a poor but happy life with nine orphan children whom he raised in a rundown temple. However, after Kaigaku was kicked out, he made a deal with the demon, his life for everybody else's, causing Gyomei to have to fight until sunrise in order to keep Sayo safe, and even after all that, he gets wrongly accused of murdering children he was protecting. Gyomei then developed a very cold and objective view of people, especially children. He is slow to trust and often suspects the worst in human nature.
I, however, think that Kaigaku wasn't actually going to steal the money and this may be me giving him the benefit of the doubt, but I like to believe he was testing Gyomei's boundaries but got caught by the other children instead, and while this doesn't excuse it I like to believe that he just wanted to see how far he could push Gyomei before being scolded like the cunning kid he is.
Zenitsu
Moving onto Zenitsu... Oh, where do I even start with him? He was born to parents who didn't even care enough to give him a name and was abandoned shortly after with no blanket, meaning he was most likely an infant when he was abandoned, and from a young age he learned that something as simple and normal as crying will lead to abandonment, and we're not even mentioning the fact he got groomed and coerced into seven different relationships just to be financially taken advantage of. He has pushed so many negative experiences and emotions from his past into the depths of darkness that his subconscious is just pitch black. That's why I have a hard time saying that Kaigaku ruined Zenitsu's life (at least backstory-wise), as before Jigoro and Kaigaku, Zenitsu had come across people that beat him daily, so Kaigaku’s cruel vitriol probably seemed like nothing.
The whole Jigoro committing seppuku to take responsibility for Kaigaku's turning into a demon, and Zenitsu making it his duty to kill Kaigaku to avenge their master's death. That happens during the present, so instead of it affecting his backstory, I see it as giving him character development, and although they don't seem like that big of a difference, I feel that viewing it from this perspective can change how the fandom views Kaigaku.
At the end of the day, I’m not saying Kaigaku is innocent. I’m not saying he didn’t make selfish choices. He did. And those choices had devastating consequences. But reducing him to "the guy who ruined everything" flattens not only him but also the characters he impacted. Gyomei’s tragedy didn’t start and end with Kaigaku. Zenitsu’s insecurities, abandonment issues, and fear of being alone were there long before Kaigaku ever entered the picture.
If anything, Kaigaku serves as a mirror.
For Gyomei, he represents betrayal and misplaced trust.
For Zenitsu, he represents what he could have become if he let his bitterness win.
You don’t have to like Kaigaku. You don’t have to excuse him. But acknowledging his role beyond “he ruined two backstories” opens up a much more interesting conversation about accountability and choices. The Thunder Brothers dynamic is compelling because it’s so messy.
I’m a Zenitsu fan. I’m a Thunder Brothers fan. And loving Kaigaku doesn’t take away from my love for Zenitsu.
Anyway… that’s my take. If you disagree, let’s talk about it respectfully. This fandom is way more fun when we let characters be complicated.
Probably the fact that despite the popular headcanon of Zenitsu keeping Kaigaku's magatama necklace after the final battle, the movie showed that not only was that necklace OBLITERATED, but not even Kaigaku, his clothes, or even his sword was left; all turned to ash that will flow throughout the Infinity Castle until it eventually collapses. All Zenitsu will have to remember of Kaigaku is a letter, a boulder in a peach grove, an unused haori, and three sets of dinnerware, two of which will never be used again.
In case anyone is wondering why they are suddenly following or moots with a Zenitsu fan account, it's just me (justaweirdo06). More will be explained in an upcoming post, but I am currently working on a rebrand, but don't worry! All posts from when I was justaweirdo06 will still be public and free for anyone to see. This is just a heads up that I will no longer be a gacha-focused blog and will be posting fandom stuff, specifically KNY and Zenitsu; however, my side blog @justaweirdsideblog will still include me reblogging gacha and other art! I completely understand people who unfollow. Thank you for joining me this far!
Hello there! The name is Dory. You may know me from Undertale, you may know me from FNAF, or hell, you may know me from one-off fandoms or my OCs.
I started posting on this blog 2 years, 4 months, and 21 days ago. I'm writing this. I started this blog when I was fourteen in middle school. As of right now, I'm fifteen going on sixteen and will be in my sophomore year the following month. In just two years I changed a lot.
I got diagnosed with ADHD, which, to be honest, was a long time coming. I went through many depressive episodes, but through some therapy and coping mechanisms, I'm still here!
I’ve grown into myself a lot more creatively, emotionally, and even socially (which is wild to think about).
This blog was with me at my lowest and also at my most inspired. There were days I posted just to let something out, and others where I was bursting with new ideas, OCs, headcanons, fanfics, or just silly little rambles.
However, there was always shame with having this blog, considering that I mostly only posted gacha, and I felt like I couldn't fully express myself with this blog, as this is separate from my personal Tumblr account where I like and reblog all types of content from fanfics to art and stuff, but for some reason I couldn't bring myself to add gacha among those things.
Maybe it had to do with the stigma around Gacha Life/Gacha Club/GL2. Maybe it was the fact I was being bullied and felt alienated when I was outed as queer. No matter what, I always felt different than most people and that people wouldn't like me because of that. It's why I was very hesitant to reveal my interests and hobbies to new people in fear of being rejected.
So I took some time away from this blog and the Internet in general.
I won't bother you too much with what I did offline, but it turns out humans really DO need connections, and I am so grateful to everyone I met or reconnected with.
After a lot of self-reflection, I come to the conclusion that I don't like gacha anymore, at least not making it. Frankly, I was always happy to just watch others and see what they created with it (and I still am!). But there was a selfish part of me that craved attention, so I gave it a shot anyhow.
Truthfully I don't know whether I'll continue posting on this blog and rebrand or if I'll just start a new blog altogether, but I can't stress this enough.
Thank each and every one of you. For all the likes, the comments, the reblogs, And ESPECIALLY my mutuals.
You all mean so much to me, and you helped a very insecure girl find herself; for that, this blog will mean the world to me.
honestly, gay and trans people just automatically assume that straights are evil people "oh, a straight person just killed a gay person!" how do you know it's a straight person and not one of your own? because they're not wearing trendy or quirky clothes or are actually comfortable and grateful with the gender and identity they have and were born with?
now I see why pride is a deadly sin and I'm not even religious...
also, kids shouldn't be allowed in pride parades...it just looks wrong...it just wrong!
not to mention that I literally encountered a pedophile that was a lesbian named cryptic-pooky and what i did was call them out, talk shit about them and blocked em...
this community absolutely disgusts me...and I'm allowed to speak to them this way because it's not a "law" nor it is "illegal" to do so!
aces and aros piss me off too! they're so boring and get mad at simple affection or love! it almost like they've been raised that way or just plain sociopathy...whatever posts about love and affection or just any love in general they just make it sound like love, affection etc is "I hate that and you should feel disguised, you're gross!"
gay people and trans people can use the word faggot but if it's a straight person saying that they call it a "slur" which I find ridiculous and hypocritical that the lgbtq are using and claiming it too dispite calling it a fuckin' slur! same for the word retarded...saying that "only people with autism can use it because they're autistic and if you don't have autism...we'll project it onto you and shove it down your throat and tell you to get a diagnosis" it's just fuckin' stupid and I've had the word "special needs" and "autism" projected onto me and shoved down my throat...and I don't even have autism!!
I get that you're upset, and I totally understand wanting to express how you feel, but I just want to point out a few things.
First off, it’s not fair to judge an entire community based on a few bad experiences. Just as not all straight people think or act the same, LGBTQ+ people are diverse and can't be generalized. It's not helpful or accurate to suggest that the entire LGBTQ+ community "dehumanizes straight people." If you've met people who were rude or hurtful, that's on their behavior, not the identity they hold.
Also, saying being LGBTQ+ “isn’t a personality trait” really minimizes the challenges and discrimination we face simply for existing. For me and many others, our identities are part of who we are and deeply important, much like anyone's cultural background, religion, or personal values.
About pride events: I’ve never been to one because it wouldn’t be safe for me, but from what my friends say, they’re super fun and full of positive energy. Most pride events are really family-friendly, so saying kids shouldn’t go seems kinda harsh when the whole point is inclusivity and love. I get if you’ve heard some bad stuff about certain events, but that doesn’t represent all of them.
Your experience with a pedophile is horrible, and I’m really sorry you went through that. But it’s important to remember that one person's actions don’t speak for the entire LGBTQ+ community. As someone who has been groomed by both a lesbian and adult men, I can tell you that this happens in every community, not just in LGBTQ+ spaces. It’s not fair to blame the whole group for what a few people did.
Also, asexual and aromantic people are valid, and saying they're “boring” or accusing them of sociopathy is seriously disrespectful. Not everyone feels or expresses affection the same way, and just because someone doesn’t want or need the same kind of love that you do doesn’t make them weird or wrong.
But you’re right. Sometimes people in the LGBTQ+ community can be judgmental about who’s "gay enough" or "trans enough." That’s a real issue, and it’s not okay. Everyone should be able to express themselves however they want without being criticized for it. But saying things like “comfortable and grateful with the gender and identity they have” doesn’t really apply to everyone. Gender is a human construct, and identity isn’t something you're just born with—it’s something built over time. It’s about how you feel, how you experience the world, and how you come to understand yourself. Everyone’s journey with gender and identity is personal and complex, and the idea that it’s just something you're born into without ever questioning it doesn’t reflect everyone’s experience.
As for slurs, I get it. It’s confusing. But slurs are words that have been used to harm and hurt people, and some communities, like LGBTQ+, have reclaimed them to take away their power. For example, the word "queer" used to be a bad slur, but now a lot of LGBTQ+ people use it proudly because we took it back. It’s the same with words like "faggot" or "dyke"—some people in the community have reclaimed them as empowering terms. The key here is that this happens within the community. It’s not okay for someone outside of it to use those words. It’s about respect and understanding the history behind them.
It’s definitely a nuanced topic, and the rules around who can or can’t say these things aren’t black and white, but ultimately, who uses those words and why makes all the difference.
It’s also not cool to push labels on people who don’t want them. I’m sorry that you have experienced this. It’s wrong for anyone to force a label on you that you don’t identify with. But honestly, it feels like there’s a lot of frustration in your post, and maybe it comes from personal experiences that have hurt you. Feeling hurt by certain things is one thing, but holding onto so much anger towards an entire group doesn’t seem healthy. I think it might help if you try to approach things from a more understanding place, because holding onto that anger can just keep you stuck in negativity.
At the end of the day, it’s fine to have opinions, but the way this is written feels super judgmental and harsh. If you want to have a real conversation, maybe try coming from a place of understanding instead of just attacking.

Life been going great!!!
As for my moots, I see y'all, and I have been stalking your pages once I get the time to there will be reblogs glore!!! I really hope you're all having a better time than me, and if you're also in the same boat of suffering like me, let's hope it won't last for long!
@lost-book-finder If you can hear me lost lost-book-finder
After seeing how helpful you were in my last post about this, I decided I might as well try again with another book that I have been searching for even longer than the last.
Okay so I need help remembering a book I read it sometime in 2019 the cover was a girl in pink (maybe brown hair that was in a ponytail) the title was something like "The ____ boys and me" And the plot was basically this girl being friends with these brothers (three) because they lived next door to each other, but something happened to the set of brothers "change" now I cannot for the life of me remember anything in the middle, but I know that the book ends with the girl moving away saying her goodbyes to the boys and when she hugs the youngest boy he said something like "I'll miss you" which is a big deal because in the book it states multiple times how "the incident" left him mute, and the dialogue goes something like "I wanted to shout 'he talked!' but I knew those words were just for me" and that's pretty much all I got.
I know things like this time, so I'll be patiently waiting for any information that anyone could have about this!
Totally didn't make this last minute what are you talking about...
I did not forget Undertale's anniversary. 𝓘 𝓭𝓲𝓭 𝓷𝓸𝓽 𝓯𝓸𝓻𝓰𝓮𝓽 𝓾𝓷𝓭𝓮𝓻𝓽𝓪𝓵𝓮'𝓼 𝓪𝓷𝓷𝓲𝓿𝓮𝓻𝓼𝓪𝓻𝔂
But yeah, I haven't forgotten my roots 🤭 Undertale was a very big part of my life, and I'm so grateful for the people I got to meet through it and the experiences I had with the fandom. Happy Underale 9th anniversary!

On that note, how come Tumblr is the only place I can find Snapdragon content that isn't them being shipped together or people saying how toxic their friendship must be?

Honestly, kind of scared. I don't want to go to high school; most of my friends aren't even going to the same school as me.
But that's besides the point: summer is finally starting, so expect more frequent posts from now on. Not too frequent, however, since, as you may not know, I'm not just a content creator; I have a life behind the screen, like spending time with my family, earning my driver's permit, and getting my volunteer hours over with.
I hope this post finds you all well. I'm writing this update to let you know where I've been the past month and what I've been up to. I've been in the middle of exam season, and it's been a rough few weeks. But now that I'm transitioning from middle school to high school, I want to give an update on the future of this blog.
During this time, I've been wondering if I even want to keep this blog going. Even though I have a strong motivation to create content, I no longer feel as inspired to create content centered around Gacha (or any content for that matter). And that's partly because I think I'm growing out of Gacha.
However, I don't want to give up on this blog. Despite my uncertainty, I still want to create content that I enjoy and that I am proud of. When I come back, I'll be switching my content to be less Gacha-focused and more towards other things that align with my current interests.I understand that this may be a change that not everyone will enjoy, but it is a decision that I feel is best for me. (Besides, this is my blog, so you can't tell me what to do, mom!)
I want to express my gratitude to all of you who have followed me throughout this journey. No matter if you were here from the beginning or one of my newer followers, know that I'm grateful for everything you've done for me. Without you guys, I wouldn't be where I am today.
Ultimately, whether I continue with Gacha or end up quitting, I just want to say a huge thank you to all of you.
So, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I hope that you enjoy(ed) the show.
