Everyone out here wondering and arguing over when it became obvious that Martin had a crush on Jon...

Homeboy had a crush from day one. It only became obvious when Martin went back into that fucking worm house and found Prentiss just because he needed to get enough evidence to prove himself right to Jon.

Martin was so full of pining that he committed several crimes of breaking and entering, and then went back so he could risk his life for some spider webs

That’s gay rights BABY

Me: I hate it when bisexuals are represented in the media as nothing but whores because it’s supremely biphobic and only adds to our debasement of being cheaters and unable to remain interested in one person. It’s terrible and needs to stop!

*enter Tim Stoker, absolute chaotic good funny man and the Archive’s resident whore, fucking filing clerks and probably police officers to grab important documents and commit crimes*

Me: you know what I’m actually fine with this

1990 Movie!Eddie: if you so much look at me wrong I will have a nervous breakdown

2019 Movie!Eddie: if you so much look at me wrong I will curse your motherfucking lineage how dare you look at me bitch I may be short but I’m full of so much fuxking rage that I can’t do anything but fly of the handles if I’m so much as threatened

Brennan, creating a series based on NY that is both a homage and a critique to the city and its symbol as The American Dream: I’m sure all my cast members who lived here are gonna love the in-jokes and history I’m referencing :))))

Siobhan, a New Yorker who is willing to dunk on the city she spent many years being real fucking poor and playing the occasional hostess to Brennan: fuck NY, fuck those fuckers in Westchester, fuck The American Dream, fuck Capitalism, I’ll come for you Brennan if you even think about romanticising the city even once god damn I hate the greed in that fucker

Everyone talks about how much Emily, Ally and Lou heckle Brennan on a daily basis, but we don’t talk enough about how it’s Siobhan immediately pick up the instigators thread and fuxking bolting. 69% of Bullying Brennan sessions are someone starting shit and the other 31% is siobhan gleefully taking the chance to roast the man who once took over a room in her shitty NY apartment that fuck

the famous ass-eating monologue??? And it’s constant repeats through the seasons?? She just wants reddit to eat Brennan’s ass like he deserves

*Hears all about TMA and how Jon and Martin are one of the most tender and heartbreaking romances in podcasting*

*Me, ecstatic for some more sweet gay pining, starts listening from the beginning*

Jon, first ep: so yeah those new researchers in the archives Sasha and Tim are on thin fuxking ice but fuck that Martin guy, he’ll never amount to anything

Me:

I feel so soft every time Brennan tells someone in battle that it’s there go and he’s so excited when he shouts “[character name], it’s your turn baby!”

i would die for u mr Brennan sir please call me ur baby in that fun peppy way you do I need the serotonin

I think if Ally Beardsley and Taliesin Jaffe ever existed in a room together the world would fold in on itself with the sheer amount of collective raw eldritch and queer energy that their fleshy human facades contain.

Tower of God Ep 5 really Do Be Like

Khun: i don’t need friends everyone betrays you

*Rachel appears and Bam ignores everything to focus on her*

Khun: ..... >:( .......well that won’t do

*sits on Bam’s lap* *lays down on Bam’s lap* *literally fucking crowns him* *does everything he can to protect him* *tells him he wants to climb the tower with him even tho last episode he literally had a mental breakdown over trusting anyone ever*

Rak, standing by and watching all this unfold and pissed off since the boys are more focused on seducing each other than winning this fucking test: ....are you sure you don’t want a boyfriend?

Having adrichat and whatever the fuck BeetlejuicexStanley Pines is called on my dash simultaneously is like the two wolves inside you meme except it’s 2 crack ships no one ever should’ve proposed fighting over who is going to make more ridiculous fan art of it

Every year without fail 4/13 comes along and without fail my dash is FULL of Homestuck. I can’t help but be impressed with the dedication of Homestuck fans because they never fail to hit the anniversary no matter how many years go by, and that kind of dedication is hard to see except for outside events like HP fans on September 1st. But the real impressive thing is I have never interacted with Homestuck, have never followed someone for Homestuck, but like some kind of sleeper agent pandemic my dash is full of Homestuck from users I NEVER suspected were interested in it. They reveal their true colours and I am helpless to do anything but be bombarded

What it’s like doing Japanese at a University Level

*learning verbs*

Student to another student: “omae no haha wo shimasu” (a very janky simple way of saying “I do your mum”)

Teacher: “if you’re going to insult in your rudimentary Japanese do it properly and be polite - it’s okaa-san, not haha”

Student: “thanks sir! Anyway, omae no okaa-san-”

Teacher: “remember guys, katakana is not like hiragana. Make sure to make the lines nice and sharp!”

Student: “but are they sharp enough to kill myself on?”

Teacher: “can anyone read this katakana? What does oojii (ohgee) mean?”

Everyone almost immediately: “O R G Y?????”

Teacher: “no! it’s what you guys are!”

Girl next to me: “fucking stupid?”

Teacher: “noooo! Aussies! Aussies!!!!”

*later*

Girl to a guy: “what’s your name so I can refer to it while speaking”

Guy: “I prefer to be referred to by my overall identity - orgy”

Teacher: “don’t think I won’t fail you in the third week. Try me”

Student before a test: “do you think if I speak fast enough the teacher won’t be able to tell I have no idea what I’m saying?”

Other student: “with your skills he’ll think you’re having a stroke. But do it dude. Make me laugh so I forget how much I want to die.”

*asking what year of schooling we are in*

*I respond with 3rd year*

My partner: “YOURE OLD????”

Me: “...bitch”

Girl: “I remember how to draw “ru” in katakana because it was on all my Naruto DVD boxes”

Guy next to her: “oh same!”

Guy beside me: “well I’m not a fuxking weeb so I just studied it like normal people”

Girl: “shut the fuck up bitch you watched Pokemon like the rest of us”

Student: *answers a question*

Teacher: “that is incorrect! Please study your adjectives more!”

Student: “ah, right in the kokoro”

Teacher: “do that again and I’ll assign you more homework”

Student: “sir, when do we learn how to say ‘fuck’?”

Teacher: “when you’re responsible enough to earn it. For this class, it doesn’t look like that’ll ever happen”

AFTG au where everything is the same except Neil and Andrews attempts at gifting each other CRAZY FUCK-OFF expensive things is somehow ratcheted up another notch until someone (Nicky) notices them spending their literal life savings on each other and calls them out on their mutual attempt at making each other their sugar baby.

(Neil is confused as per usual, Nicky is fuxking delighted at these disaster gays competing to make the other their baby without a single word, and the rest of the foxes are internally screaming about how dumb the whole scenario is because neither will admit something more is going on. Aaron just doesn’t want to think about his brother fucking anyone let alone the suicidally stupid sugar baby who has the mafia after him)

(Andrew is contemplating murder more than usual while simultaneously looking at bigger houses in Columbia because Neil just upgraded his car that fucker)

*Sees hot star elf Aaravos*

Me: nice

*Hot moon elf speaks*

Me: :))) ....nice

With 20biteen kicking off, it’s time to remember one of the original bisexual icons that made us realise we were queer growing up. Li Syaoran was peak bisexual dumbass and a blessing upon us all. Not only did he fall hard and not know what to do with Yukito, there was that glorious time where he hadn’t realised he liked Sakura and this spent at least half of the series at his peak Bisexual Panic Mode. Such features included: blushing every time he looked at either of them, listening to voice mails of Sakura, being unable to speak whenever either complimented him, and his Special Move, Run Away As Soon As Things Get Bi. And in the background Touya is mentally preparing the skin the dumbass kid who is crushing on his love and his little sister respectively, while Tomoyo encourages more havoc and laughs maniacally to herself as she films it.

Mihashi in 1st ep of Big Windup!: cries, calls himself a shitty pitcher, stutters over his own name, gets the fear of god placed into him by a woman squeezing oranges, cries, finds his soulmate/catcher, cries again

Sawamura in 1st ep of Ace of Diamond: cries, bitchslaps 12 students and has the audacity to slap the grown-ass umpire as well, faces off against the strongest looking motherfucker and tries to pick a fight despite being a guest, meets his soulmate/catcher, cries some more

In summary: to be a pitcher you gotta have some good-ass tear ducts 

We’re all used to the eccentricities of each character, and the techniques the boys use to stay calm and focused during their games, but from an outside perspective Nishiura high school baseball team is absolutely fucking bizarre.

*Nishiura calls time*

Opponent team: oh they must be making a game plan, alright

*Abe goes out to stand in the middle of the field and hold hands with Mihashi while staring intently into his eyes*

Opponent team: what the fuck is going on???

*Abe calls Mihashi his pitcher, promises to take care of him for the next 3 years, swears that they’ll win for his sake, Mihashi is crying incoherently*

Opponent team: they know we’re in the middle of a game, right? do we need to get them a room or something....?

Opponent team: how are these freshmen staying so calm in such a serious game??? what’s their trick???

*Looks across to Nishiura’s dugout where Mizutani is screaming while Izumi and Mihashi tickle him*

Opponent team: ?????? do we need to call somebody?? is he okay?

*Tajima makes an impossible shot and gets several runs*

Opponent team: how cool is that prodigy?? he must be a genius

Tajima, immediately after finishing the game, shirt off, dick out: rice is a type of protein right??

Hanai: jesus christ how have you survived for this long

tl;dr:

Big hot shot team pre-game: This game will be pathetically easy -- they’re just a bunch of freshies!! Practically toddlers!

*Nishiura during the game* Reads the pitchers’ movements, memorises each batters preferences, goes full-on klepto with bases. Wins.

Hot shot team: What in tarnation....

*Nishiura after the game* has players falling asleep on public bunches like a bunch of hobos, some of them half-naked, Abe yelling incoherently over the mess

Hot shot team: ....we lost to this?

What it’s like playing through Chains of Memories

Sora’s side: a long-winded mystery that is slightly unsettling with the memory-loss and all, but is a story shrouded in nostalgia that sweetly pushes the whole Friendship Is Magic trope. The conflict reveals new depths to the characters (especially Sora), but Sora’s optimism prevails and we result in a hopeful ending.

Riku’s side: RIKU MUST GRAPPLE WITH HIS DARKNESS ONCE MORE ALL WITHOUT ANY SUPPORT FROM FRIENDS, WHILE CONSTANTLY BEING REMINDED OF HIS PAST MISTAKES AND HOW PATHETIC HE IS FOR BEING SCARED OF BECOMING EVIL AGAIN DESPITE THE FACT THAT HE IS A CHILD AND SHOULD NOT HAVE TO SUFFER ANY MORE.

Me, suitably horrified: I thought this was a kids game.

Disregarding all of the psychological and deeply personal reasons Deku’s quirk shocked Bakugou in their first battle, his reaction is justifiable. I would be whacked out of my fucking mind too if the weedy kid in my class who couldn’t even talk back suddenly could breAK ALL OF HIS BONES AND NOT EVEN FLINCH.

Middle School Bakugou: *throws (1) punch* “HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT DEKU?!?!”

Deku: *bawling his eyes out* “K-Kacchan please”

High School Bakugou: *exploded half a building* “YOU’LL ALWAYS BE A USELESS NERD!!! NEVER A HERO!!”

Deku: FUCK YOU YA BASTARD I DON’T FEAR DEATH *blows up arm and the rest of the building*

Hey so is anyone gonna talk about the fact that most of the paladins (bar Keith with his dimensional trip on a whale) have been gone from earth for roughly 5 years, but it’s only been less than 2 for them. Their families have been mourning them for 5 whole years, imagining them dead or, more likely, imagining missing 5 years of their lives and their children returning as adults in their early 20s. Like it’s such a throwaway line when Lance sees his family, but when he tells the youngest ones that they’ve gotten so big, they respond with “you’re exactly the same”. It’s even more noticeable with the main Garrison cadets being fully grown adults trusted with being leading pilots in experimental crafts. What a shock it must have been for the Garrison to be expecting cadets like these only more hardened with experience to come home, men and women growing up in a galactic war, only to be met with the same young faces that left all those years ago. How hard would it have been to sit and discuss war council with the legendary Voltron, while looking into a fifteen year old girls face knowing you were sending her out to possibly die. I think about it a lot. And it’s horrifying. The next question is: who is gonna write the fic where the garrison is trying to prepare for the final battle, and has to simultaneously wrap their heads around the fact that they are sending kids to fight their war? The higher ups will dismiss them despite their reputation because they see them laughing and goofing off in spare time, only to confront them with reprimands to reveal that the paladins, particularly Lance, joke to stay positive in the face of the horrors they’ve met. (And it’s obvious that these kids may be young but they have gone through more than anyone can comprehend, as Pidge offers a plan based on the horrific night of going solo against Sendak in the Castle of Lions, or Hunk absently mentioning the hallucinations they experienced prior to earth via a monstorous being and how he was going to sacrifice himself, or even Lance letting slip that he LITERALLY DIED. What can you say to these horrors?)

Shiro choosing Keith to be a cadet over Griffin is the equivalent of being shown the most well-behaved dog in the pet store but still choosing the one that’s been chewing on your shoe the whole time.

They removed Krolia from this season so early because she’s more of a badass than any character has the right to be, and also they knew that all Voltron girls are Too Powerful, and that having more than (3) on the team would result in the war being tied up in half a season.

While we can agree the Voltron fandom is currently a crash site of vicious disagreements and ship wars, one thing that has risen above the ranks is the sheer amount of ao3 author support. A lot of people are frustrated with the newest season, particularly if (like me) you’re a member of the LGBT+ community who has come face-to-face with the “Bury your gays” trope yet again, or even if you’re someone who has issues with how the plot or characterisation has been done. Everyone’s frustrations are valid because everyone has their own opinion (and I’ll slip in here that while these emotions are yours to express please don’t abuse the creators of Voltron, they deserve respect like any human), but I am LIVING for the sheer amount of genius fix-it fics that have been boosted on this website. While discourse will continue, please be respectful of the fic writers who put their effort into improving the plot how they see fit, and enjoy the works that they lovingly give to the fandom. A lot of reblogs of fics are appearing in the tags so keep up the support for our fandom in these tough times and channel your shipping frustrations into supporting your favourite authors!! Stay positive through these dark times and respect one another!!

Marinette’s first transformation scene in Syren: the usual. boring. clearly the animator’s can’t be bothered to do more than a happy or sad sequence.

The reality: Marinette struggling to stay hidden inside a crate on the water. awkwardly sticking a leg out while transforming. getting soaked by water every time she tries to do her usual cutesy spin. finishing her transformation by spitting out water over the side of the crate with the oar digging into her side.

My favourite thing about watching BNHA is seeing the all-round brilliant art style, with its appealing colours and smooth, expressive animation. And then suddenly shifting to scenes with Todoroki, in which every fucking movement is an ode to Angels, the colours are bolder and every particle of ice looks ten times better than anything Frozen could've done. His expressions can be broken down into frame-by-frame minute changes, with his fire looking like every animators wet dream. It's like someone higher up has a VERY apparent thing for Todoroki, and ensured. all of the animation budget was used to make sure Todoroki looked glorious no matter what. It worked.

If you ever feel embarrassed about yourself, please know I was clearing out stuff from my phone today and I found an old alarm that I had once used for school titled, "FRICKITY FRACKLES TIME TO FUCK JENSEN ACKLES", and I am so glad I'm past that point in my life.

After watching FMA03 and getting to see the glorious sight of Winry pick locks in a matter of seconds (as well as the empowering duo of Winry and Sheska), I absolutely delight in headcannoning that Edward has no idea that she can do any of her neat tricks. More than once on their trips Winry has shown herself to be true MVP by fixing busted up vehicles and rigging up devices to fix situations that Ed's fists won't fix. Cue a situation (that's 110% Ed's fault, thank you very much) in which Winry and Ed are being held captive, chains and all. Ed doesn't have his alchemy anymore so he can't just bust through the chains, and it's tearing him up that he's putting Winry through this, especially after what happened at Briggs, she must be so scared and-- Meanwhile off to the side, Winry has already wriggled her tools from her sleeves, picked her locks, and is currently delightfully going through the dangerous materials the bad guys so stupidly left for them beside a bunch of scrap metal. A matter of seconds later, Winry has busted a shellshocked Ed from his chains and is shoving him up the stairs, nervously yet gleefully laughing all the way. "Winry, what the hell is going on?" Ed splutters as Winry uses her bare hands, toughened by years of automail work, to rip boards from the wall to make their exit. "How'd you get out? What's the rush? What the fuck, Win?" Winry giggles. "The bombs about to go off Ed. We gotta go." "BOMB? What bo-!" (On that day Ed was reminded of how terrifyingly brilliant his wife was, and how glad he was she had never been his enemy.)

Okay so one thing I get really frustrated with in post-canon FMA fanfics is how Winry always gets portrayed as frustrated, or even downright hating the fact that Ed is very much a wandering soul.

Disregard the fact that her last line in FMA:B is literally along the lines of “men who stay still are boring”.

Disregard that Winry always supported Ed and Al’s decisions to travel because she knew how much they needed to get distance, and later supported it because she knew that they just wanted to see the world.

Disregard Winry instantly jumping on the chance to travel whenever offered, including yearly travelling to Rush Valley and a clear enjoyment of her trip north before everything went to shit.

Just know that Winry, seven months pregnant and struggling to get around, just starts shoving shit into suitcases cause there was a skirmish to the west that resulted in plenty of casualties, including amputees, and fuck if they don’t need the greatest automail mechanic there to help them out. Es gets a few words of protest in before unceremoniously getting thrown into the train, Winry eagerly jumping in behind him cause she’s needed elsewhere and nothing will slow her down, not even pregnancy.

Down the line, family trips are common. Only they aren’t trips into Central like most country folk take. No. The Elric-Rockbells are wanders at heart, and the people on the railroads know each of their faces intimately due to their yearly trips to Xing, and their constant roaming across the country offering automail and handyman services.

They miss home on the road, but wouldn’t give up on seeing the world for anything.

Okay so I just started watching FMA03 after finishing brotherhood, and while the plot line is one of the most clearest differences between the two, the characterisation is another distinct one. Namely that of Ed's characterisation. Don't get me wrong, he's still short, short-tempered about his shortness, and devious as hell. However, FMA03 really does emphasise how much of a kid he is, and with that comes a more....hmmmm...quieter charm to him? He is much more approachable and earnest to please than the other Ed, and one of the best results of this is his relationships with others. In Brotherhood, people remarked how his determination and loyalty earned him their respect, despite his shitty attitude. He also showed no interest in anyone but Winry, and no one showed interest in him bar her. Edwin will always be one of the best romances ever written, but it still is slightly unrealistic that not a single person Ed met his age didn't at least get a little crush on him. May doesn't count as when she actually met him she was severely unimpressed, but aside from her no one showed interest in this absolute golden beauty. That's when you jump to 03 and get your absolute fix of a wild range of teens meeting him and basically low key falling in love. Clause (who I firmly headcannon as gender fluid or non-binary, rather than brushed over as a cross dressing girl for no apparent reason??) is enraptured after she gets to know him, Rose is amazed by his bravery and perseverance, and Russell literally writes him the gayest note declaring he admires Ed. Basically, what I'm getting at is FMA03 gives us Ed the golden bisexual icon we all need. Amen.

Okay so one thing I get really frustrated with in post-canon FMA fanfics is how Winry always gets portrayed as frustrated, or even downright hating the fact that Ed is very much a wandering soul. Disregard the fact that her last line in FMA:B is literally along the lines of "men who stay still are boring".

The FMA:B sacred star movie is hilarious because Al, sweet and chivalrous Al, saves the beloved girl warrior of the valley and is almost immediately called a monster and captured. Meanwhile, Ed the absolute bastard rocks on down to the valley, makes mud monsters to capture the valley people, and then takes one as a prisoner at sword-point. Then almost instantly makes friends with his hostage and everyone else around him. Edward Elric is like a DnD lawful good character with an awful personality that somehow manages to get out of every bad situation from the unholy amount of points he's dumped into his charisma.
