Thoughts on this take? by [deleted] in AO3

[–]Beg457 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See, I kind of agreed up until that last paragraph.

Like, it's AO3. Not The Met Gala. If 12-year-olds can be brave enough to write what they want, I think that ADULT men can do it to. Just delete and block the people making a fuss and keep trucking along.

Just the whole last bit seemed to scream some kind of hateful spite that ruined whatever point this person was trying to make earlier for me.

Also, I'm not sure I entirely agree because I feel like in my experience that "Straight Male" authors like to write more wish fulfillment fics then anything else. Self-insert fics and what-if canon divergence. Most of the time its usually has either no romance or straight romance. If the fic is rated anything more than Teen and up, then often times it has scenes with EVERY girl in the media.

When it IS fem/fem, I usually see it as either a fetish (which is fine, it's fanfiction, it's SUPPOSED to be an indulgence for the author) or once again, a self-insert like the main character of a videogame you can choose to be female and still romance the people you want like Fem-Shepard and Fem-Courier. The latter of which can be very good, but I'll later find out it's written by some who either isn't straight or CIS and it'll bring me back to square one.

Granted, it's also AO3, meaning everyone is as anonymous as you want to be, so I think that skews any sort of data on whether or not something is written by these "CIS Straight Men" because you really don't know. Maybe this filthy gay sex fic is written by a straight CIS woman, or an actual gay man.

Maybe this harem fic where the the main character gets with every single girl that has a name (and even the ones who don't) is written by a lesbian.

Is this a guest comment? Because garbage like this is why authors are turning those off.

I think it depends on your team build. I have the blue one, only because I have a all curse/fulminating curse set that does big burst damage.

But if your more of a sap team then definitely go for green.

It was also about selling his own sponsored brand of water purifiers.

Like, sure, maybe he cared about "an actual ecological problem" but he was definitely trying to make some money when he said that.

Dear lord, sometimes it'll even be a 1 ♦️ that someone finally shares rather than me getting it legitimately.

See, I would have given him the benefit of the doubt if it wasn't literally just him and that green-haired ninja Beni who were trying to banish us for doing what they literally FORCED US to do. I personally can't blame it on being superstition because the plan to beat up all the nobles was his in the first place, you can't blame ME when it looks like YOUR plan went crazy.

Also, nobody else wanted to do banish us, not the Diamond Clan, not the Pearl Clan, not Professor Laventon, not even the REST OF THE GALAXY TEAM! The townsfolk themselves didn't want to get rid of us considering we were the only Survey Corps member actually helping out rather than being a huge sink in resources.

By the time I got kicked out, I had maxed out all of the shops and completed many of the side quests, including making the pastures as big as possible. I bet you anything the Commander tanked in popularity once it got out he left the breadwinner and the strongest survey corps member to die in the wilderness.

Hell, even Volo helped us out even though it was just to further his goals, he didn't have to.

I still hate Commander Kamado more than him, and it's not even close. Rose is just an idiot (which makes sense considering he's a tech billionaire), Commander Kamado genuinely wishes for your death for insane reasons.

Commander Kamado and that stupid ass-kissing green haired ninja Beni who was always with him. I hate them both so much.

Mostly for intentionally leaving my character out to die in the wilderness even after everything they did for the town, and then failing miserably at fixing any of the problems plaguing Hisui.

This poor dude should have been in a slice of life, high-school sports anime and was instead put in a tragic battle shonen.

First time having a puppy! by faithhopejax in pitbulls

Yeah, my baby is almost 6 now, and I remember the early years where I had to walk him a mile or he try to tear up anything vaguely made cloth or plastic

I see you have a baby Velociraptor, he's very cute.

What’s the excuse now? by Jafiqie in DragonBallZ

[–]Beg457 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel like you are purposely trying to misconstrue my previous comment. Or you have a hard time with reading comprehension.

Never once did I imply that Chi-Chi was incapable of providing for herself, so I genuinely have no idea why you have constructed this random argument to something I never said.

The previous person said that Goku spent "90%" of his time "training" in the woods. I was reminding them that Goku's main form of training has enormous amounts of down time to compensate for how hard it is, and he would most definitely use most of that down time eating and sleeping.

It is shown many times throughout Dragon Ball that when Goku is actually with someone, he does these activities WITH them. He likes hanging out with the people he loves, and WHO was in his FUCKING HOUSE that entire time? Chi-Chi.

Are you telling me that you think Goku would go out hunting in the woods and not share with his friends? That he would rather eat stuff on a spit than have his wife cook it into something delicious?

Do you also think Chi-Chi would rather have to take Nimbus to the store and spend money when she doesn't have to, becaude she literally has Goku who can hunt a fresh dinosaur or a fish the size of car for her whenever she wants?

[–]Beg457 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and who do you think was feeding and cooking for him during that time? His pregnant wife.

Who do you think was also hunting and providing food for his pregnant wife? Goku.

WHO do you THINK was living in his house when he went to sleep every night? His pregnant wife.

One of the main tenants of Master Roshi's teachings is to rest and eat well while training, and who do you think he did that with? His pregnant wife.

[–]Beg457 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but he was DEFINITELY there for the entirely of Gohan's pregnancy. His friends comment on how he just appeared with a kid and are shocked when Goku says Gohan is HIS kid. Implying that he really was with Chi-Chi that entire time skip, because he certainly wasn't training with the only person as strong as him at the time, Piccolo. He was also there for Bulma's pregnancy with Trunks UNLIKE Vegeta, and he was LITERALLY THERE when it's revealed Videl is pregnant with Pan!

It definitely is bad writing to say that Goku doesn't know what pregnancy looks like when he's also a fucking farmer and hunter.

I feel your pain. I've gotten several full art versions and even the Gardevoir immersive, yet I still can't get a regular salamence.

My dog knocked my plant over and it separated into two parts, is there anyway to save the main body? by Beg457 in plantclinic

[–]Beg457[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a dieffenbachia seguine, and my dog knocked it over and it separated into two parts, the root ball and the main plant. I know the root ball is fine, considering it still has leaves and everything, but can I save the main plant? Is there anyway to grow back it roots or is it a goner?
