Flamboyant or something, Idk

That post about death note being "everyone's first anime" (untrue statement) made me curious and now I want to gather data for science

Can you reblog this and tell me where are you from and what was your starter anime?

so I started playing on of the sao games (Alicization Lycoris) and just finished chapter 1, which unlocks the "create character" screen

which means you can just force fem Kirito, but it just goes from:

to this once you flip to female:

Which feels funny, in a 'didn't need to change much there, girl!' sense

(This game has a lot of very forcefemmable npcs, btw)

I want to be surprised, but forcefemming coming with free booty shorts and thigh highs is extremely sao.

a criticism I see of sao is often along the lines of “what’s the message? that video games are better than real life? that being trapped in the game was Good, Actually? that doesn’t apply to real life at all. that’s a useless thought experiment akin to contemplating the ethics of fucking your clone.”

the way the aincrad arc was about how you have to find love and happiness in the here & now, no matter how bleak things are. because when fighting for a cause, it’s so easy to deny yourself joy until that far-off dream is achieved; you tell yourself you’ll rest after you’ve saved enough money for early retirement. or when capitalism is over and homelessness eradicated. or when you’ve finally reached peak physical form. or when the war is over.

but so many people die before that happens. or they live to see it but shortly succumb to trauma or just the ravages of time. all those years spent fighting for your cause, but now you’ve won you’re an adult and you never had a chance to have any semblance of a childhood. or now you’ve grown so accustomed to misery, you don’t know how to treat happiness- so accustomed to pressure and hatred, you’re cruel and harsh to the people around you.

in sao, life went on, in its strange way. people went fishing. they got married. they cooked and ate for pleasure. they did quests and events for fun. people sarcastically say “they’re trapped in a death game and all they can think about is buying a cottage and fucking?” as if there wasn’t a very direct reasoning for this in the plot. them experiencing a sort of burnout, as well as distrust in the system as it was. them realising their own mortality, that they could be killed any day now; that it’s better to die in love than to die miserable.

Just had a Thought and now I'm curious. What's you guy's strangest comfort media? It doesn't have to be strange as in like creepy/fucked up/whatever, it can just be smthn a lil odd.

Mine is Sword Art Online, which doesn't seem weird until you remember that it has at least two, and arguably five, SA scenes.

I saw this meme going around on twitter and I think it'll be perfect for this account.

I was talking to one of my friends about ahitty battle shonen tropes, and idk if this one has a name, but I like to call it the Obligatory Romance.

A lot of you probably figured what I’m talking about just with that first image, it’s everywhere in battle shonen. The protagonist has a love interest for the whole series, but nothing romantic actually happens between them(except for one emotional scene and a fuck ton of pining), then they’re married in the epilogue. Any real romantic dynamic is never established beyond the absolute minimum, because the characters never actually get into a relationship.

The most annoying thing is that the romance is always essential to the love interest, the very core of their character and motivation, and it means jack shit for the protagonist. Sasuke is absolutely instrumental to Sakura’s motivation for all 700 chapters of Naruto, while she could reasonably be removed from the entire franchise and Sasuke’s arc would remain mostly intact.

It’s romance out of obligation, like the author put it in just to check a box. After all, someone needs to have their kids so the epilogue can set up a sequel series.

There’s a reason ships like BakuDeku and NaruSasu are popular, they include real chemistry and a level of plot importance that the actual ships simply lack. Sword Art Online is bad by lots of measurements, but Kirito and Asuna 1) have chemistry for days, and 2) fucked in episode 8.

It isn’t a make or break for me, I still really like a lot of these series, but I also think they could benefit from taking the Oda approach and just making the protagonist ace.

You can actually read that sex scene between Kirito and Asuna, the creator wrote it all out in terrible, terrible detail back when SAO was still a webnovel. It’s called SAO: 16.5, and Something Witty Entertainment, the people behind SAO Abridged, have an excellent reading of it on their YouTube channel.

never forget that in addition to its ugly bastard NTR brainwashing villain in season 2, Sword Art Online Alicization (season 4) featured the bisexual femdom mind control villain who canonically sexes people while doing it. reki kawahara real obvious fetish hours

She also spends the vast majority of her screen time, including the entire boss fight, completely nude. She has two magic strands of hair that always manage to cover her nipples, a couple of floating pieces of lace around her head, and that's it.
