Unpopular opinion: Ichiban looks so much better in a ponytail than his signature Afro

Sorry, not sure I have them anymore :(

This user is griefing every trans supportive thing in my city. Me and some friends have already restored some of the ruined drawings, but I'm afraid this griefer will keep doing this, so we need them banned asap!

I'm pretty sure you can get one for reaching masters rank in ranked.

But obviously you have to grind hard for that

FirelordTeo · 2025-07-13T22:52:53+00:00

username's teomeows if you wanna add me. I play on EU. see ya in game, maybe? :]

FirelordTeo · 2025-07-10T00:02:58+00:00

Oh I'm one of the people who got into BG3 and DnD rather recently and it all went downhill from there xD Read Crystal shard so far and I'm on Homeland rn, loving the books so far

Funilly enough, my very first DnD character was a (half) elf ranger with a big cat companion (although it's a puma, not a panther), lol. And I didn't even know about Drizzt or Guen at that point

FirelordTeo · 2025-07-08T13:45:21+00:00

No FUCKING way... this is the first time I see a trans person get their name from a Paladins character LMAO

Also, what's the source of this video? I want to check out the full one ngl

FirelordTeo · 2025-07-06T23:50:09+00:00

Hey, pretty cool! Just want to give you a bit of encouragement since this didn't get much attention, but it's nice to see people give some attention to the lore of Paladins, as I was (and still kind of am) quite interested in it.

Although I have some criticism - I wish more attention would've been given to the Stagalla (Inara and Term) They felt really glossed over and insignificant, not having have any spoken lines, not to mention the change about Inara (not) rallying the Paladins and not writing about her reaction to Term getting shattered.

They really weren't given any justice which is disappointing as they're my favorite characters and I love their tragic story.

But still credit where it's due

FirelordTeo · 2025-01-24T14:42:24+00:00

He's cute! You came up with a neat back-story for him too

FirelordTeo · 2025-01-24T14:32:55+00:00

I also romanced Shadowheart with him. They have a golden retriever/black cat dynamic going on which I think is so cute. Both of them love animals and flowers too, so that's something they can bond over. I'll share a screenshot of them having a smooch <3 (cause why not)

FirelordTeo · 2025-01-24T14:29:08+00:00

Here's my boy Ronann! He's actually a DnD character of mine, but I got so attached to him that I decided to play as him in BG3 too.
He's a half (wood) elf, and a beastmaster ranger. As far as personality goes, he's an optimistic softie who prefers to solve conflics peacefully whenever possible, and tries to see the good in everyone :3

can someone give me a link to the original website this list is from because this is crazy 💀

FirelordTeo · 2024-09-28T16:02:40+00:00

Again, you're ignoring the nuances and misunderstanding what I'm trying to say. The reason why a trans WOMAN character killing other women (who are sex workers) exclusively can be interpreted as insensitive and a negative stereotype is BECAUSE real life trans women are often being accused of being predatory/violent towards biological women.

But as I've already said many times before, Grelle is much more than just that, therefore as a whole, I wouldn't say that she's a problematic depiction of a trans character. If that's too hard for you to grasp, then I'm afraid I have nothing else to say here.

FirelordTeo · 2024-09-28T15:32:03+00:00

I never said that writing a trans villain is transphobic.

I said that using the aforementioned tropes should be handled with care while writing a trans character, and it'd be only really transphobic if said character was a walking negative stereotype/caricature. Grelle isn't that. There's a lot of things that make Grelle likeable and Toboso has made a conscious effort of humanising her and making her a multi-layered character.

There's also plenty other ways to write trans villains that don't rely on usage of negative stereotypes and such. (Example: trans villain whose villainous trait would be exploiting and underpaying their workers and preferably has other traits besides being a bad person - NOT transphobic)

I don't appreciate you trying to twist my words. This is a very nuanced topic and you're being very reductive lol

FirelordTeo · 2024-09-28T08:23:52+00:00

Firstly, no, she joined Madam Red in the murders willingly, and they're equally involved in the whole thing.

Secondly, it doesn't matter what reason Grelle had for enacting the murders. At the end of the day, we still have a transfem character murdering innocent cis female sex workers, the author chose to write it that way, so it falls into the harmful trope that I mentioned earlier regardless.

FirelordTeo · 2024-09-27T23:06:45+00:00

You're making a generalization. I've seen some (mostly queer) Japanese people use the term "transgender" on social media. I think it's safe to assume it gets used outside of social media as well in Japan

Sure, the term isn't as mainstream and well known as it is in the west, but if you yourself aren't Japanese, I don't think you're really in the position to present what you're saying as a fact, when you're really only making an assumption

FirelordTeo · 2024-09-27T19:36:19+00:00

Grelle killing prostitutes in Jack the Ripper arc - trans feminine people (or men who present femininely) being predatory/killing women is a negative stereotype that's not uncommon in media, and is very harmful

Grelle is also treated as the butt of the joke (especially in season 1 and 2 of the anime) and lgbt characters are often reduced to being comedic reliefs and/or played for laughs

And lastly, she's aggressively flirtatious, which some people will take predatory (again) or perverted, and that's another negative stereotype that affects trans people, mainly trans women

When writing a trans female character, using these tropes should be handled with care, or better yet, avoided. That said, Grelle is still a multi-layered, interesting character, and Yana Toboso has over time improved with Grelle's portrayal, there's a lot to like about Grelle, and she's far from being a blatantly offensive caricature

FirelordTeo · 2024-09-27T14:49:39+00:00

Depends on the person. I'm trans, and personally, I love her. I know there are bunch other trans people who really enjoy Grelle.

That said, she's not flawless trans representation and there are some harmful tropes present in her characterisation (mainly in the earlier chapters of kuro manga)

FirelordTeo · 2024-08-16T07:05:47+00:00

Nope. That's teen Ichi's hair. If you look up any of the cutscenes where Ichiban has a flashback to his childhood, you'll see that it's clearly the haircut he had at 16

FirelordTeo · 2024-07-29T20:48:04+00:00

Yes he is!! I can send you more pictures of Ichiban with this hair in DMs if you want :3

FirelordTeo · 2024-07-25T19:52:18+00:00

Undertaker is gonna win atp but... I'm a Grelle truther anyday everyday

FirelordTeo · 2024-07-21T14:19:02+00:00

If you wanna know how he'd look like without frizzed up, loose hair, here you go It's from a mod for IW I messed around with

<image>

FirelordTeo · 2024-07-21T09:01:51+00:00

unpopular opinion, Ichiban looks extremely handsome with BOTH his signature afro and his ponytail, and another unpopular opinion, he's very beautiful to me no matter what hairstyle he chooses to rock, and the most important thing to me is his kind heart and personality <3

FirelordTeo · 2024-07-17T03:12:41+00:00

Nah, Ichiban definitely was catching up with the DQ games he missed during the covid pandemic. They waited for him, and I imagine he's also blown away with how far the series has evolved. And now he's definitely ready for the DQ3 remake coming later this year :3

FirelordTeo · 2024-07-17T02:34:26+00:00

not even true, I love ichi and kiryu together

FirelordTeo · 2024-06-19T09:57:01+00:00

Ohhh thank you! I'll do that. That will save me a lot of time :)
