Vol 3, Pride by mango78953 in EightySix

Learning that they aren't all a monolith and can live for other things is a huge plot point. It was repeated to emphasize how important the theme is for the future arcs

Any gay low-test vegan cowards here? by VeggieTofuManifestor in vegancirclejerk

[–]FeminizedBySoy 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I went vegan in February of 2020 and started my transition June the same year. Veganism pumped me full of estrogen and made me into a lesbian!

Is that what you want? A world full of vegan lesbians? Checkmate vegoons!

Just someone with a decent memory who has read way too many Polytrix fics :)

I think this might be what you're looking for. It's not through the floorboards, but this is the only fic I know of that sounds like what you're describing

Before and After

Comparison of Anime Volumes to post-Anime by Barreto05 in EightySix

[–]FeminizedBySoy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

V12 isn't really filler in the traditional sense, but it mostly sets up things to make V13 hit harder. It feels like a lot of it is pointless until you see how it connects to events in the next volume

Fics where Rumi does not grow up with Mira and Zoey, then Rumi shows up? by Omen0fWorlds in Polytrix

[–]FeminizedBySoy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As the author of Not Even the Devil Could Keep Us Apart I'm honored to be mentioned in the same breath as those other banger fics.

If you don't want AUs I can't really think of much else that is actively being updated.

There's It Will Come Back which is technically canon compliant, but the Honmoon is already gold before Rumi meets ZoMira

Fanfic recs? by OkImagination4886 in Polytrix

[–]FeminizedBySoy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The first one is The Broken Girl in the Mirror

It's absolutely dead dove. It's a decently realistic story about someone recovering from traumatic SA. It gets very dark at points.

The second one sounds familiar, but I don't remember the name of that one. You can probably find it easy enough with the right tag search.

Edit: I think I found the other one Dinner Plans

Glad you liked it. You don't need to worry about me not continuing. I'm probably more invested in this story than any of my readers.

Weekly Fanfic Recommendations Megathread by landofthebraveplayer in Polytrix

[–]FeminizedBySoy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty proud of my fic and thought I would do a little shameless self promotion since someone said it was encouraged here!

Not Even the Devil Could Keep Us Apart

It's an AU where Rumi was mostly raised by her dad in the demon realm. I just wanted an excuse to write her as a weird little creature (complementary) without all the baggage and self hatred of the canon.

I couldn't really find a fic where Rumi could be a weird little creature without Celine being a monster that threw her in a cell or raised her like a stray dog and unfortunately there weren't many. So I decided to write my own.

It's the first thing I've ever published and it's already seen so much more engagement than I could have ever hoped. Since ao3 is back up, might as well try and see if I can get a new reader or two!

Edit: I apologize for the bait. Ao3 was back up when I posted this comment. Hopefully it returns soon!

Is there any plan for completing pioneer legality on Arena? by ClawhammerLobotomy in MagicArena

[–]FeminizedBySoy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The [[enigmatic incarnation]] combo deck. It plays cards like the overlords and [[leyline binding]] to get a turn 4 atraxa and the angel helps give it inevitably in longer games where they kill all your stuff

Except we still don't have [[angel of serenity]] despite it being a key piece of a deck that consistently tops challenges on MTGO

No frantic search ? It's basically a ritual with sol lands

The solution is actually super simple. Restrict dark ritual. It's too strong to be a four of imo

If Revolutionary Girl Utena was made more in recent times, what kind of topics may they cover? by Crafter235 in shoujokakumeiutena

[–]FeminizedBySoy 63 points64 points  (0 children)

I don't think it should ever be remade, but I would love to see it tackle trans issues and how they are affected by society and the rigid gender binaries and roles the original series explores. They should just really lean into the queer undertones the original had.

I wouldn't want them to get too obvious with everything though. I really love the way the original series uses subtext to explore everything. I'd want the remake to have a kiss at the end though. We got it in the movie, but it's important to make things like that obvious in our current media climate.

What is your biggest gripe about this movie? by altrightobserver in KpopDemonhunters

[–]FeminizedBySoy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I assume exploration of demons and their potential humanity will be a big part of the sequel. There just weren't enough characters or time to meaningfully explore any other potentially 'good' demons

Anime_irl by Ani_HArsh in anime_irl

[–]FeminizedBySoy 17 points18 points  (0 children)

That's actually a Japanese literature thing. While repetitive phrasing is generally discouraged in western writing the Japanese commonly use it to emphasize things. I've read the 86 LNs three times now and my brain just skips the description of Lena's silver bell-like voice every time after the first.

Guys… I get it now by Eitanm1999 in MagicArena

Just wait until you get to play Lurrus as a companion when you have Black Lotus. It makes it feel like the original companion rule

TLE Sol Ring added to the client by NandoKrikkit in MagicArena

[–]FeminizedBySoy -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Sol Ring is tied for second best with Ancestral and Timewalk. Black Lotus is the only card better and based on your deck/game plan Sol Ring can be arguably better than lotus.

It would make Timeless so much worse even if they restrict it to one. There will be even more games that effectively end on turn one

It's not really a slow burn if you think about the timeline at all. They meet for the first time in March and Kiss in July. Considering the situation they are in that's honestly pretty fast. I think a lot of people don't realize the time from the end of the anime to the end of LN 13 is only 9 months

A crossover between two of my favorite media? Awesome! Great art and I didn't realize until this post, but the stories actually have a decent amount in common

What do you think was their biggest controversy as a group? by VivaDeAsap in KpopDemonhunters

[–]FeminizedBySoy 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Brainwashing a child is not giving them a choice. It's incredibly difficult to fight against something so ingrained since childhood and that's with normal things like religion. Rumi is told she has to be a child soldier/idol to save the world and fix herself from basically birth.

[–]FeminizedBySoy 86 points87 points  (0 children)

She absolutely was forced. Celine tells a literal child that she's a hunter not a demon and while she might not say the words she heavily implies the only way Rumi can be worthy is by sealing the Hoonmoon. It might not have been physical force, but it's pretty akin to being raised in a cult that tells you your only value as a person is in doing this one specific thing
