I'm very anxious for Shahed's campaign. Shahed herself is in poor condition, but works to reach us all the time as she's our only contact with her family and can only do so much with limited internet access. Please lift some weight off of her by sharing as much as you can. Please plead with your friends and acquaintances. Even if it's not comfortable for you please put thay aside momentarily, I beg of you. Her campaign has been making progress but is still far from its goal. Shahed and her siblings desperately need us.

GTA V trio but sapphic and trans

Another thing I like about Chainsaw Man: It has "fanservice scenes" that aren't sexualized. Alright, hear me out, I have examples. (Some of which are light spoilers, but I'm pretty sure I talked around anything serious.)

"Flashback to a naked devil chick wandering around the wilderness with a cat" sounds like a fanservice scene...but the framing of the panels/shots, the visible parts of Power, and the fact that Makima hadn't started hosing her down every other week means that it's not sexy.

"Said devil chick takes a bath with the main character" definitely sounds like a fanservice scene...but the framing, Power's emotional state, and Denji's lack of reaction (despite being an infamous horndog) means that it's not sexy.

"Mostly-human (it's complicated) chick turns her school uniform into a sword and fights a devil in her underwear" sounds like a fanservice scene, and it definitely comes closest out of these. You can clearly see sexy bits like her chest and midriff, for instance. But Asa isn't fighting in sexy poses, the panels focus on the action rather than trying to make her sexy, and of course it isn't long before she's splattered in devil blood.

Now, let's clarify what I'm saying. I'm not saying nobody could find these scenes sexy; I don't think it's possible to create such a scene. And I'm obviously not saying CSM never has fanservice scenes; Quanxi and her (harem? polycule? squad?) have multiple...lesbian orgy panels?* framed in a sexual manner. What I'm saying is, it's obvious that the orgy panels were drawn sexy for a reason, because they're contrasted with an extended sequence of a very un-sexualized naked Power.

Fanservice scenes are omnipresent—not just in Japanese media, but in the West, too. As a sex-repulsed asexual, this is very obvious to me in a way I assume it isn't for most people...but as someone who exists in the same world as all you allosexuals, I've grown numb to it unless it's really obvious. I'm used to artists in a visual medium leveraging any scene where an adult woman partially disrobes for titillating viewers who are into that, and I've made my peace with that. Fuck, I'm not even surprised when artists do that with sexual violence or minors or whatever. It's a bad thing, but it's a fact of life.

And here we have Tatsuki Fujimoto, with scenes of naked or near-naked women which aren't sexualized. And I'm pretty sure† it's not just my ace brain not recognizing what heterosexual boys are expected to like about the scene, or some artistic or technical deficiency obscuring the intent, because look at Quanxi.

Power being naked in the wilderness could have been sexualized, but it was just a signifier that she's wild and uncivilized. Power being emotionally vulnerable in the bath could have been sexualized, but it was just a signifier of that vulnerability. Asa stripping off her uniform to use it as a weapon could have been sexualized, but it was just a signifier of her desperation.

* Hell, even the Quanxi orgies have a purpose beyond titillation. She's obviously a foil for Denji, living the life he thinks he wants. The scenes with her fiends emphasize the lust that she and Denji share. It's not a creative decision I'm 100% comfortable with, but Quanxi's sexuality is obviously not just an attempt at shoehorning some lesbian sex into the manga to draw in horny teenaged boys.‡

In a world with so much female nudity thrown in for mere fanservice, I feel like it's worth pointing out artists who do better. Mangaka don't need to write pure Christian stories without anything vaguely sexy in them to appease us social justice warriors; they just need to have a point beyond sex appeal when they draw naked women. And it doesn't have to be a deep point! It just has to exist!

† Though not certain—part of me expects to hear back from people who're confused about how someone could think those scenes weren't sexualized.

‡Why are straight dudes into lesbians, anyways? Is that weird? It seems weird.

BELATED EDIT: Of course, right before this popped off my queue, chapter 110 had to have some panels of Asa's de-uniformed body that feel like they were framed for fanservice. I thought that it was a Denji's-gaze sort of thing and it would lead to his horniness driving him to do something, but it didn't really?

It could still be a Denji's-gaze thing and not a bog-standard male-gaze thing, but the only reason I'm giving this possibility any weight is the previous 109 chapters.

How I think the ppg and the rrb would be like when they're drunk

all of those are for when they're really really drunk

Butch

it would be him but worse

like everything chaotic about him would just, get enhanced

he would throw himself at tables, drink entire bottles of whatever's in front of him, anything to make people scream (whether it's cheering or being genuinely terrified or angry at him)

at the beginning he really is the heart of the party until everyone decides "this is just too much" and kick him out

Buttercup

Weirdly enough, I think she would get flirty?

cause like, buttercup is FAR from being flirty when she's sober

but I can totally picture her just telling everyone pickup lines and every single time people are like "?????" and of course they can't help being embarrassed and feeling SO attracted to her because, I mean, that's not common buttercup behavior

but she's rarely actually interested in anyone she flirts with

she just thinks it's fun

Bubbles

she would be so full of rage

challenging everyone to an arm wrestle and winning every single time

"WOOOOOO LET'S GO!!! WHO'S NEXT??" *takes a shot*

idk just the thought of feral bubbles makes me giggle

she and Butch absolutely cannot be together when drunk

Boomer

you know that wine mom thing where they drink a couple glasses of wine and start asking everyone to dance and sing with them?

yeah

"come here babe, get up, let's dance"

*starts slow dancing like a mom*

*like, straight up swaying his hips with a cup in his hand and snapping his fingers with the other*

because of this he will not get drunk unless everyone else is also drunk because it's just too embarrassing

Blossom

if you watch Brooklyn 99 you'll know what I'm talking about when I say blossom gets drunk like amy

for those who aren't familiar with the Amy Santiago drunkness scale, here's a list (and how I think it would be like with blossom)

One Drink Amy Blossom: One Drink Blossom is "a little spacey", being a bit out of touch with what's happening around her

Two Drink Blossom: Two Drink Blossom (a.k.a "Loud Blossom") shouts everything she says.

Three Drink Blossom: Three Drink Blossom (a.k.a "Blossom Dance Pants") dances constantly. This Blossom is very fond of drunk boomer and will accompany him in his wine mom shenanigans

Four Drink Blossom: Four Drink Blossom (a.k.a "Horny Blossom") is "a little bit of a perv", often making comments loaded with sexual innuendo. This is very interesting to watch when she's with buttercup because people will go insane. It's also VERY interesting to watch when she's around Brick.

Five Drink Blossom: Five Drink Blossom is "weirdly confident". She has a confidence level that she never normally displays, which is also fun to watch since it intersects with four drink Blossom.

Six Drink Blossom: Six Drink Blossom is "just sad". Six Drink Blossom is also when Blossom may get sick if she drinks more.

Seven Drink Blossom: a mystery, and so are the others after that. Blossom hasn't been able to drink more than 6 drinks without immediately collapsing

it also goes without saying that it is incredibly hard to even get to One Drink Blossom since she's such a goody two shoes

Brick

you'll rarely ever see brick get really really drunk

both because he's very good at handling alcohol and because he hates his drunk self. it betrays everything he believes in

that is because drunk brick 1. has absolutely no filter and 2. is very clingy

that results in a lot of "you know I really like you right, buttercup? you're really really cool" and "bubbles your dress is pretty you're very pretty" and "I love you guys so much!!!" (his brothers)

but the best of drunk brick is when he's around blossom

we have yet to see drunk blossom encounter drunk brick. usually one of them is much sober than the other so they end up taking care of one another

but yeah drunk brick just straight up hugs blossom and tells her she smells nice and is so smart and so pretty

once he actually almost told her he loved her but she stopped him mid sentence cause that would be just hurtful

Please Consider: CithMilrun, Mithrun is the buffer and common between two women who would have the EXTREMELY tense Yuri.

Cithis would irk Milsiril off but they could work it out in Mithrun's noodle shop.
