One time I wrote a fic about an anime girl depressed that her fursuit had vanished from existence and it made me trans and gave me a stroke

Because livetweeting Precure has somehow become an extremely significant part of how I use this platform, here's a master thread for all of my various seasonal threads if you want to check any out
I think it's funny how there were only two kinds of G Witch art after the finale
-SuleMio happy together in blissful gentleness
-Miorine locked in eternal struggle with a keychain
Me watching anime: Yeah i'm a total yuripilled sapphiccel. I'm basically going himejoshi mode and i'm giving piningcore vibes
My 8 year old daughter Lily: Mommy I think God should kill you

I watched Azumanga Daioh when I was like 5 or 6 years old and had no idea what a lesbian was so I was just like "wow Kaorin really likes Sakaki I get it she's so cool :D"
There always seems to be such a severe disconnect between "the Ghibli Aesthetic," which people picture as pastoral and idyllic, and what Ghibli movies are actually like
"Haha that Rabbi Bill Clinton kid was funny"
*finds out he was on InfoWars*
"...oh he wasn't just saying nonsense he was pulling an anti-semitic dogwhistle indicting Clinton as a member of the secret (((globalist))) illuminati"
MyGo will be like "we made this song in 20 hours while Taki and Soyo were depressed and Anon's room was on fire" and it will be the greatest song you've ever heard and then Tomori will spill her feelings before launching into a song materialized from nothing that's even better
Bang Dream: Being in a band is fun :)
Revue Starlight: Being on stage is a process of death and rebirth. We live and die by it. We are naturally greedy, selfish, arrogant people - because that's what it means to be an actress. For the sake of the stage we envision we will
When Bandori EN came out the fandom was filled with death game AUs because there were a ton of Danganronpa ex-pats (for some reason). I predict the same thing will happen with Project Sekai because of Squid Game
The new HHW set Traineds are based on German fairy tales from the Brothers Grimm!
Kaoru - The Pied Piper of Hamelin
Hagumi - Hansel and Gretel
Kanon - Briar Rose (Sleeping Beauty)
Michelle - Town Animals of Bremen
I'm starting to think "good queer representation" is a unicorn because there will always be someone who doesn't see themselves in the work and therefore decries it regardless of whether or not it was made by a fellow queer person representing their experiences
I spent the last two hours watching that one "Steven Universe is garbage" video and all I got out of it is that Rebecca Sugar assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand and kicked off World War I
Lesbian who can't express her feelings properly in simple words so she gets frustrated and works to convey them through art x lesbian who veils her true feelings in countless layers of irony because she's so afraid of vulnerability
So many issues in modern fan culture can be boiled down to the fact that people conflate activism and fandom, and thus view art and the way people engage with it as a sort of praxis that can be done correctly or incorrectly, and... art is not like that
Even if environmental destruction ISN'T part of the plot the environment is important and not for cozy reasons. You think Kiki's Delivery Service is an idealized slice of life? It's basically about work burnout and depression in a world that you're ultimately a very small part of
Ran: Yeah I hate my dad, he's always embarrassing me by showing up to my concerts and cheering. And he can be so stringent about ikebana. Ugh, he's the worst. What's your dad like?
Sakiko:
She looks like a goofy sitcom dad who works at a children's amusement park all day long and says "aw shucks" whenever something goes wrong. And that's EXACTLY what she is
Like yes there is beautiful natural wonder in Ghibli works but most of the time it's under threat or actively being destroyed in order to display the central awfulness of the conflict
It is exceedingly wild to me that one of the current battlegrounds of the video game culture war is entirely based around whether or not you think Aloy from Horizon is hot
There's something I like to call "The FutaKao Problem" where it looks like a ship has a good number of fics on Ao3 but they're almost all fics where they're a side couple to a more popular pairing
MafuMom discourse is like the final boss of fandom discussion because she's a bad mother in such a harrowingly realistic way that individual fans project their own emotional experience with bad moms (which is on a spectrum) and get very sensitive about alternative readings
Loid and Yor in fanon: about to sexily kill each other
Actual manga/anime:
Yor: What kind of animal is the pink panther
Loid: I can't tell her... it would blow my cover as an agent of WISE...
Can't wait for AveMu anime to be tagged Comedy, Slice of Life, CGDCT on anime database websites with a description like "Sakiko Togawa's got a tough life, but with her friends by her side there's nothing she can't do!"
MyGo is themed around stars, Tomori literally meaning Light. AveMu is themed around the moon, with all its members named after lunar geography. In other words, Sakimori sun and moon lesbians in this essay I will--
