This Just In:

The issue I have with Sakura stans as another Sakura fan is that some have a tendency to think black or white. I’m unsure if it’s because of how much hate a character who really didn’t deserve it got during the Naruto heyday.

Regardless, if you have an opinion that isn’t 💯 positive all around, a subsection of fans will attack you. Like you can literally say nothing negative about the character and people will act like you do.

Maybe it’s a ESL thing. I find that if I’m having a discussion with someone and it’s clear to me that we are talking about two different things, the miscommunication is from a language barrier, people can’t read well or it’s anger issues that makes people skip words.

For example, I had a discussion about Sakura and Naruto’s dynamic with Sasuke. I said that Sakura is the more reasonable one as Naruto’s constant defending for Sasuke even though he’s technically wrong is absurd. But that’s just Naruto. He sees the good in everyone, even people who genuinely don’t deserve it at times.

Somehow someone took that and responded with I’m calling Sakura a whore, bitch and dumb and that I’m sexist. If Sakura did it she’s that but when Naruto does it it’s endearing LMAO.

Me dunking on Naruto and saying Sakura is more reasonable is apparently swapped in that person’s mind.

Honestly there is a reason why people don’t like Sakura fans because some of them took the hate that her character got and took it in the wrong direction.

I love Joshua in this scene. Just wish his tears were more visible and maybe have his face be red from the crying. Honestly same with Clive too.

One thing I really, really love about FFXVI is how many big, burly men show their emotions. Society often seems to tell guys that you can't cry or show weakness if you are to be seen as masculine and I just love that this story leans into being both strong and emotional for male characters that channel a lot of testosterone.

Advent children was a good movie but I still don’t think Cloud got truly over Aerith.

I feel like he got over her similar to getting over a breakup. I think he got better at coping with it. Similar to how getting triggered by small things that remind you of your ex, you just take the triggers as face-value as a coping mechanism.

For example, flowers and scenic landscapes remind him of Aerith, but they’re also just pretty and worth taking photos of.

In the credits, he printed out many photos of different landscapes. Someone said maybe it’s because he sees Aerith in those photos or he just took up photography as a new hobby as we all do :/

Regardless, I’m glad he’s happy but I got a feeling he’s still looking forward to going to promised land/heaven so he can be with Aerith.

Honestly when I found out that Sakura x Sasuke became canon by the last chapter and read up on the lore, the entire time I thought may this love never find me 🫡

I thought they both secretly liked each other when I played the game lol

Confession: I like Kokichi x Himiko. There I said it.

I thought when they found his motive video, it would reveal that he lied about his talent too.

Confession: I find it wasn’t Angie or Ibuki with the biggest wastes of talents, but rather Kokichi. While music and art are subjective, leadership skills are NOT, yet Kokichi is explicitly standoffish and can barely get anyone to cooperate with him. I love Kokichi as a character but I wish they incorporated his talent into his personality more.

So like… did they actually check that Dion could still prime before pulling that little stunt or…?

What really takes me out of a good mlm fanfic is when the male characters call each other “bitch” or “slut”. Sorry but I don’t think that’s how men talk to each other. Yes I know I’m saying I’m surprised that I’m not reading mlm fics where characters call each other sissies or the f-slur. Maybe it’s a policy on ao3 or maybe it’s just so the female reader can relate to it too :/

Naruto hasn’t given up on Sasuke but I certainly have.

We did it gang
