I love any Atsushi hc where he has cat-like behavior. It's so adorable to see fanart of him doing the cat rub thing/head butt against other characters, but i would also like to see more tiger specific traits. Like they have "flexible spines" which gives them a wide range of movement compared to other big cats, their salive has antiseptic properties, they love water, and their canines have pressure-sensitive nerves to know where to bite their prey. All of which would be interesting in a fic, i think.
Exy is the bastardized child of lacrosse and hockey that's been left unsupervised just a bit too long.
Okay so having went to my first lacrosse game as a non-sports person, I finally fully understand how exy got that popular. First of all lacrosse is already extremely entertaining on it's own, but you’re telling me it’s not just lacrosse, but it’s a contact sport, there’s a plexiglass wall that balls can ricochet off of, they are wearing like full uniform guard because it’s that violent yet they can run around as if their gear weighs nothing, AND IT’S CO-ED?!
Sign me the fuck up are you kidding me.
Also, just the Emperor casually outing Jinshi as not actually being a eunuch just to tease him about his crush on Maomao.
"Mindset of a ruler." Proceeds to be completely whipped for Baam.
Take their relationship as platonic or romantic; he's still whipped either way.

I like the saying, "Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly." Especially when it comes to creative things. While AI is fine in some regards. I'll admit that I used AI to write cover letters when I was applying for jobs because those are the absolute bane of my existence. And even then, I had to check it over and edit what it wrote. But with things like creative writing and art, there's just naturally a human element to it that a mechine can't replicate. Art comes from who you are and how you see the world. It's an expression of you. AI can't do that. And besides that, what we have isn't really AI. It's machine learning. Pattern recognition. It can note common elements and remix them into something that on the surface looks like art, but there's no deeper meaning. There's no happy little accidents.
I think we get so caught up in this world where there's always some end goal, and everything seems to demand 110% out of you all the time. But that's not what art is. You can half ass art, and it's still art. It doesn't even need to be profound. In fact, art is a lot like being alive. It's never going to be perfect. And that's fine. For me, I don't write to make something perfect or profound. The highest level of praise I can get is seeing someone react to my work. Laughing. Crying. Anything.
We've used art to say "we were here" since humans started humaning. And handing that off to something as cold as a pattern recognition software just feels disingenuous. I'd rather see a handprint smacked against a wall than some cold amalgamation spit out by something that will never understand what it made. Half ass your art. Be bad at it. It's not about being the best anyway. It's about saying you were here. You were alive. That you had thoughts and feelings. And that's worth something. Even if it is done poorly.
The first time I saw this when I watched the anime I straight up was like, "Okay, they have that type of friendship." It reads like an inside joke to me. Like they're referencing something from when they worked together, and it just became a running joke that no one else would probably understand.
Bones robbed us of Dazai literally laughing out loud at Chuuya's rich girl act.
I generally try to keep this account to Fandom stuff, but I don't really have anywhere else to rant about this. So, it's going on here.
In regards to the TikTok Little Red Book protest going on; I do want to point out that the reactions from the Americans about seemingly mundane stuff that should be obvious is actually pretty normal for Americans that are experiencing life outside of the U.S. for the first time. We're so used to the fucked up parts of our country that it's easy to forget how bad it is. That the idea of something like Universal Healthcare, for example, isn't some revolutionary thing but the norm in most places. It's like living with chronic pain or an abusive family. You know it's not right, but it's your normal. That's what you know, and you're so busy managing it that fixing it seems so far out of reach that it's barely worth thinking about. So you grit your teeth and act like you're fine because it's normal. Because if it's not normal, well...
I do love seeing the connections and interactions this is causing, though. It's what the internet was made for. What all these social media platforms were made for. I've moved a lot, lived in a lot of places, and I've found that people are the same wherever you go. Mild tweaks here and there, but humans are humans. And I love seeing people realize that.
I do hope something good comes from this protest. And make no mistake, that's what this is. A protest built on spite. In fact, it kind of reminds me of the Boston Tea Party (albite with less property damage). It wasn't about the tea in the same way this isn't about TikTok. They're both a result of the people feeling ignored by their government and actively giving Big Brother the middle finger.
But i am glad that, the very least, people are making connections that, under any other circumstance, may never have happened. It's a lovely thing to see, and i hope something good comes from all of it.
“I was minding my own business, taking advantage of the hot springs around here, and that little fucker inked me!”
Or one of the many shenanigans that happened while the Thirteen Great Warriors were climbing the Tower.
I just realized that all my medication sounds like Pokémon names. Like "I choose you, Lexapro!" or "My eevee evolved into a Bupropion."
One thing that is not utilized enough in Baam/Khun fics is the fact that Baam is generally shown a back sleeper that straight up does not move in his sleep while Khun tends to be shown more as a side sleeper and not only moves quite a bit but is also cannonically a blanket hog. If they were to sleep together, Baam is being used as the human pillow and may or may not end up with blankets and/or bruises from being kicked.
So, the anime I May Be a Guild Receptionist, But I'll Solo Any Boss to Clock Out on Time is hilarious. Only two episodes have been dubbed on CrunchyRoll (I'm too lazy for sub, sue me), but as an adult who's worked in customer service and had to pull double shifts and deal with shitty customers, it's pretty good so far. I highly recommend it.
