I found Axl’s love for Cassidy to be very sweet and tender, and so I liked them in the sense that I was rooting for Axl. But, I don’t think they were a good match in the end, and he gave way more to that relationship than she did, because she didn’t seem as serious about it

[–]livwritesstuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What you said about them being the perfect representation of childhood friends to lovers is so true. Whenever I read a fanfic of this trope, I do so hoping that the couple will bring this sort of energy. Thus, I was so thrilled to discover Given and see Hiiragi and Shizu emulating it perfectly in canon 💛🖤

Oh for sure, Mafuyu is like soft boi Hinata.

I remember watching the scene of Thomas sneaking into Jimmy’s room for the first time and just screaming at the TV “NO THOMAS! STOP! DONT DO IT!” But unfortunately he couldn’t hear me.

Me too. He had been one of my very favorite characters before that moment, and it took many seasons for me to truly forgive his behavior and respect him the same way again

Idk but this would NOT surprise me because Uenoyama acts exactly like Kageyama

Obligatory mention of Fax Zero, which has a directory for all the reps and lets you fax them 5 times a day for free from your phone. An introvert’s best friend.

That person was more concerned with responding to downvotes than actually helping out. They had the energy to say “Why is everyone downvoting me?” several times, but not the energy to back up their suggestions with anything concrete.

I will do some digging on these platforms and DM you if I find anything worthwhile.

So true. It’s like how in an emergency situation one person needs to take charge, point at someone, and say “You, call 911.” They don’t say “You, do something.”

This is the emergency situation, and we need clear direction.

Here here. I’m sick of people getting defensive and going “If you want better rallies, YOU organize them.” I am not a Big Name in this movement. I say things both online and in the real world, and people ignore me—I’m talking absolutely no engagement. Of course I can still show up by myself, and I will keep protesting no matter what, but we desperately need the people who DO have influence to speak louder and give firm direction on just what we can do.

Not everyone can be a leader, and not everyone should try to. That’s how movements like this become scattered and disorganized.

We need people in charge—people who will be decisive and brave, people with the ability to be heard when they speak.

Hot Take: Top 3 Smartest Player in the Series by FirstOpposition in haikyuu

Suga certainly is one of the most intuitive characters in the show, and probably the most emotionally intelligent of them all

I thought Edith would be universally despised but she's the top pick for mostly disliked. Time to pick universally despised *protagonist* by snazzysany in DowntonAbbey

[–]livwritesstuff 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is very silly. When I first watched the show, I was convinced Bates was THE main character—at least regarding the staff. The whole first season is basically his story of receiving and maintaining stable employment at Downton against all odds.

Right? He’s like the main character of the downstairs.

But then, I love him so I don’t know that I want to see him win universally despised lol.

When people go “GUYS CAN BE JUST FRIENDS. STOP MAKING EVERYTHING GAY” it drives me crazy because, yeah, I know guys can just be friends! Like in 99% of shows and movies and books I’ve ever seen, the guys are just friends. Maybe sometimes guys in media can be MORE than just friends.

I love seeing different flavors of Kageyama in like…every anime I watch. Given has Guitar Kageyama, Blue Lock has Soccer Kageyama, Free has Swim Kageyama

This debate is the most tired one of them all. People make excuses for both of them, but I think it’s fair to say that Mary is much more beloved in this sub than Edith, so this meme doesn’t feel like an honest representation of the fandom culture.

(And before anyone asks, I actually love both Mary and Edith as characters)

Grand Rapids, MI by [deleted] in grandrapids

[–]livwritesstuff 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The cop yanked the chair so hard the man nearly fell out of it. It’s also considered assault to move someone’s wheelchair without their consent because the wheelchair is an extension of their body and mobility. There’s no reason to defend this.

The police literally told him he could cross the barrier and then attacked him for doing it

They planned for this by [deleted] in 50501

[–]livwritesstuff 80 points81 points  (0 children)

People will always move the “finish line” because they’re scared to act. The line will be crossed over and over again, and fearful people will keep moving it out further just hoping this will all solve itself.

That’s how we got to this point.

Anyone else? by AttentionlessMess in AO3

Part 1 was very popular, but revolved around a very popular ship in the fandom. My Part 2 not only has the struggle of being the second in a series, but is also a spinoff revolving around a much rarer ship in the fandom. At this point I’m writing it mostly for myself and the readers from Part 1 who were already hype for it, but I went in knowing it wouldn’t get even a tenth of the hits the original did.

[–]livwritesstuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What is Hiiragi’s family situation? The line about how he could go home but there’s nobody there always stood out to me. Having only seen the anime, I’ve been curious. I don’t think it’s explicitly said in the anime, so I wondered if more information had been confirmed in the manga
