Truths, Dares, and Love Affairs

i still love the fact that xiao xingchen literally stabs xue yang but that wasn't the thing that broke their relationship. xue yang's reaction to being stabbed by xiao xingchen is basically "i see you are upset but we can definitely sort this out"

love that for him. such optimism. completely unearned but what's a little stabbing between friends eh

Real quick can we talk about how some of the best written females in Shōnen are from FAIRY TAIL.

Like the fan service of that show, out of control, flat out makes me uncomfortable sometimes. But the amount of development female characters get? Amazing. Some of the best. My Hero Academia could never.

Jellal was introduced to further ERZA’s character development. How weird is that? It’s normally the other way around.

Can mangakas just figure out how to write female characters for once in their life? It’s not that hard. Just write them as if they were men.

fellas.... (i’m late for pride month but this is for me anyways. hi. 😀)

Hold your Shizun tight

I just woke up and am hypothesizing:

Has anyone else every thought that a large part of the reason romantic fanfiction is so attractive to women is that a majority of the authors are women? And women know how to write the female gaze. Having the female gaze applied to your favorite media (which is probably heavily effected by the male gaze) is attractive.

I remember a poll someone did for fanfiction authors and a large chunk, much bigger than 80%, were women and when I write a lot of the times it’s my fluff scenes that readers seem to be more effected by.

Read the fic here!

Can you imagine you grow up on a farm, out in the wilderness, with very little access to any kind of amenities. You get out, because of your intelligence, and spend your whole life studying one particular topic. Learning about it is your passion. You don't advance very far, because other people keep stealing credit for your work and you don't have the social awareness to stop them. But you are still much better off than you started, so you let it go. Then a man shows up, who is not just interested in your favorite topic, but is the living embodiment of it. On your first outing, back to the area you grew up, he gives away very expensive items to save people just like your family. He doesn't see this as generous, just a basic expectation. He offers you up the reward and credit for the work you did together, when he could have kept it all for himself with no consequences, and he technically lost a large amount of money on this job because he gave it away to strangers. He asks you out to lunch at your favorite restaurant. After you finish eating, he goes behind the counter and gets a job for the evening, because learning about his favorite topic is his passion.
