Persona!
AnonymousI’m assuming Persona 4 since that’s the one I spaz out about the most?
1. The first character I first fell in love with
I love ALL of them, but the one that I spazzed about the hardest was Kanji. Just… his character, his shadow, all of that… not only did I love him, he impressed me so much with his “girls are scary and judgmental men are better,” speech. I mean, boys who do “girly” things are judged so quickly, probably harsher than girls who do “boy” things. You see a little boy grabbing a doll and you see people freak out – not just men, but women. We fight so hard for girls to be able to do as they please that we forget that boys get criticized too. There’s expectations for boys that not all of them want to take on, and I think Kanji does a good job in showing that. Him being a thug? He’s scary, yeah, but that’s much easier to understand than him sewing. Then there’s the whole sexuality aspect. Is he gay? Straight? Does it matter? Does he even know? I think people forget how much happens in high school, the things that get questioned, how unsure kids are. When things like sexuality come up it’s, “You’re too young,” but honestly… not really. The teenage years are when things like this come up. Was his shadow just representing his opinions on girls, or his actual preferences? He crushes on Naoto before AND after her big reveal, so… who knows. I think in the end he accepts her no matter what, and I think that was the point.
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now
Yosuke. I mean I liked him well enough, but I fell in love with how real he felt as a character. He’s so teenage boy! And he tries so hard to be a good person, I just… gyah!
Also, I’d have to say Naoto. I thought she was cool before, her shadow made me love her more, but just… my love for Naoto is so strong, I just can’t…
3. The character everyone else loves that I don’t
Um… I like all of them so…
4. The character I love that everyone else hates
I think everyone has reasons to not like someone in the cast for whatever reason. I think the most hate I’ve seen is towards Yosuke cuz “OMG SO HOMOPHOBIC.” I will never, EVER understand that reasoning. Yes he makes comments, but he’s what… 16? And he tends to always say things that piss people off. It’s great that people want everyone to be understanding about people’s issues, but I think they forget that these characters are human. I wasn’t always understanding when it came to gender/sexuality and things like that, that developed over time, and you can see that as the game progresses a friendship grows between ALL OF THEM, this includes Yosuke and Kanji too.
I also feel like Rise gets a lot of hate because “omg such a slut,” and just… did we play the same game? Cuz um… I mean… she was trying to break out of the stereotype that had been established for her because of her celebrity status and… well, I mean… I think that goes beyond being a celebrity, just… being the “cute girl” or the “popular girl” seems to make people assume things that aren’t true.
And I have to mention Yu Narukami. There was a bunch of “OMG THAT’S NOT HIS NAME” and “He’ll always be Souji to me cry cry” when the anime came out, but I think the anime did a good job making him into his own character. He was very likable, and it was cool to see him develop from that kinda quiet guy in episode 1 to being someone that others could rely on, AND someone who really cared for his friends and family, and needed them as much as they needed him. I really liked that. I think the anime did a good job taking a character whose personality depended on the player and making him unique.
5. The character I used to love but don’t any longer
There’s no such thing…
6. The character I would totally smooch
I’d just throw the names of the Investigation Team in a hat and pick one.
7. The character I’d want to be like
In general, I’d just want to be able to live the message of “accepting yourself.” I really wish a game like this would’ve been around when I was in high school so I could realize that there’s nothing wrong with being who you are. It’s such a great take home message.
8. The character I’d slap
Adachi, because… you know, Adachi. But I think he’s an interesting character, too. I don’t hate him, he makes a good villain – well, more like “morally ambiguous character.”
9. A pairing that I love
Kanji and Naoto. Hands down. Kanji and Naoto. I also love Souji (or Yu) and Yosuke, and Chie and Yukiko, and the underclassman OT3 (Kanji, Rise, Naoto) and Dojima and Adachi, and… the list goes on so let’s just stick with Kanji and Naoto.
10. A pairing that I despise
Honestly? Not a single one. I guess the only thing that I can’t see myself writing or reading is things with Teddie (because to me he’s like a six year old) or things with Nanako (again, because she’s a kid). Granted, I could pair these two together when they’re older, or like a cute conversation or hug or something but… yeah, that’s about it.
Name a fandom you know I know and I’ll tell you
1. The first character I first fell in love with
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now
3. The character everyone else loves that I don’t
4. The character I love that everyone else hates
5. The character I used to love but don’t any longer
6. The character I would totally smooch
7. The character I’d want to be like
8. The character I’d slap
9. A pairing that I love
10. A pairing that I despise
Nintendo Direct brought a lot of news today but nothing excited me more than Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem. This right here is 2 of my favorite franchises crossing over in a game that we know nothing about. Is it a dungeon crawler grindfest? Is it a fighting game kind of thing? Is it a SRPG? WHAT WILL IT BE I DON’T KNOW BUT I WANT IT.
OK I’ll stop spazzing tumblr followers sorry for the Nintendo spaz, but but BUT BUT BUT BUT BUT!!! OMG OMG OMG!
Seriously though look how adorable!
Still don’t want a Wii U I still don’t I still don’t I-…. YOSHI!!!!!!!!!!
Here’s how NOT to get someone to go with your self publishing company
This is actually part of an email we got today about possibly self-publishing our story with a company. Take note, kids, this is how you know NOT to go with a certain company, if they try and scare you into going with them because “only 2 percent of new authors make it with the big publishers” or “unless if you’re a celebrity or had some sort of freak accident” and things like that.
Under the cut is part of the email, because the rest of the email was basically, “This is why you should believe in us even after we just said you’d never make it ever without us o.k.?” Just… wow, no matter how many rejections I get, I’ll be sure to NEVER give this place a try.
Oh, for future writers or current writers, this company is called Xlibris.
A gay soldier calls his father shortly after DADT is repealed.
(Father’s dialogue in smaller, italic font above.)
- (X)
(Just noticed this, but I practically teared up again at how he can barely keep still or look at the phone before he tells him but in the last scenes he’s just staring at it and listening to his father with such love and adoration.)
ALWAYS REBLOG.
Look at how hard it is for him to tell his dad - there’s that fear of rejection and revulsion and all of those really tough emotions.
And then look at that smile in the last gif.
Parenting: you’re doing it right.
That last gif though, I mean just… I mean…
It’s not even about the confession. It IS, but at the same time it isn’t. Like it proves how much this father loves his son, he’s like, “I still love you,” and all of that, but then he’s like, “It sure is good to hear your voice, bud.” Like, he’s still his bud, and all he’s thinking about is that he’s so happy to hear from him. It’s like, his son being gay? He really, truly doesn’t care, all that matters is that his son just called him and it means so much to him. You can just HEAR their voices when you look at these, and just…
Parents, you have no idea how much your love means to us.
So I’m going to tell you guys a story about the person I really like.
Her name is Kida. And this is her cosplaying Jack Frost at Ohayocon.
So, every night at Ohayocon, me and Kida were cosplaying Jack Frost. She was Jack, and I was his genderbend who I’ve been calling Joyce. So, we were in the hotel lobby where they give a free dinner to their guests and we walk past, and there’s this little boy who goes “Mom! It’s Jack Frost!”
And his mother invited us both to sit with them and eat dinner. Now, he didn’t quite get that I was a girl Jack until a little later, but that’s not the point. The point is that Kida basically leaned towards this kid and was like “You can see me?”
The two of us sat with this little boy for a good hour or so, and he kept talking to Kida, convinced he was seeing Jack Frost. He was so amazed and excited that he told Jack that he had to protect himself from Pitch because he was a bad man and he meant business. He wanted to make sure Jack would protect himself and everyone else. At one point he got really quiet and said “You fell in the lake and died.” or something to that extent, to which Kida QUICKLY replied with “But the man in the moon saved me!” And that little boy just got so thrilled.
I swear, this kid was completely awestruck to meet Jack Frost, and it only got better.
The following night, on Sunday, we were still at the con, and once again, Kida and I were Jack and Joyce Frost. And we met him again. So I happened to have my camera and I snapped some pictures of them. This little boy kept telling Kida about all these other guardians that existed, and had all these great stories to tell who he believed was Jack Frost. And he and Kida wound up playing together, and I’ve never seen a little kid have so much fun before. It turned out that we all ended up going to the pool together, and it just didn’t stop.
Long story short: My friend Kida cosplayed Jack Frost and made a little boy happier than you could ever imagine. And as far as I’m concerned, this little boy is Kida’s Jamie Bennett.
If this happened when i cosplay Jack I think i would die of joy. omg soooo cute
This is why cosplay is amazing :)
