Project sekai ship fics on AO3:
Ratio of # of male pjsk characters to fanfics about men (excluding gen category): 1:2626
Ratio of # of female pjsk characters to fanfics about women: 1:557
Let me say that again. For every 1 male character in project sekai, there are 2626 fics about him. For every 1 female character in project sekai, there are only 557 fics about her. Come on pjsk fandom… you should be better than that :/
(More figures & calculations below)
Number of male pjsk characters (excluding vs)*: 4
Number of female pjsk characters (excluding vs)*: 16
Total # of fics excluding gen category: 19422
3358 het fics/2 = 1679 per gender partner
% of women vs % of men in pjsk: 80% : 20%
1679+8826=10505 fics/19422=~54% of fics are about men
1679+7238=8917 fics/19422=~46% of fics are about women
*please note that if vs were included, the percentages and ratios would be the same (26 women/6 men)
If you are primarily a fan of male characters or have a male character as your fav. Ask yourself why that is. I’m guilty of this too. Most of us are guilty of this. Examine your biases and try to move past them. There is already enough misogyny in the world.
What messes me up is the only reason taiga said that bs to arata was because that’s what he’s like!!! Nagi told him her last wishes!!! She told him that she doesn’t want him to become the best musician in the world for her, that she wants to inspire the next generation. Ken understood that and stayed true to her wishes, but taiga is selfish!!! He is too damn selfish and egotistical to share his dream with anyone, even his best friend’s daughter! he’s too busy thinking about how much he wants to be the best, so he discards her final wishes and says, ‘I’m doing this for me,’ and then he BULLIES A BUNCH OF KIDS FOR NO REASON. No, Taiga! You’re wrong! Arata isn’t doing this for himself. But you ARE!
me? yeah i don't cry easily lmao
"you're not carrying your partner's dream. you lost Souma, and because you couldn't deal with that pain, you're clinging to his dream."

AHH!! Thank you so much to everyone who has reblogged and sent me asks since my last few posts! And especially to those who chose to follow me?!?? I really loved reading all of your sweet messages. I will try to get through all of these requests as soon as possible so thank you for being patient with me!
HI OP!! I am absolutely in LOVE with your art style and also I ate the hcs up so so so much please make more I ADORE the way you have just completely erased Toya’s family in favor of TENMA
--
I'm a FIRMM believer that Tenma siblings are very physically affectionate (i.e. hugs, forehead kisses, cheek kisses, high fives, shoulder bumping, cuddling, hair ruffling, etc)
This takes Toya fully by surprise when they do it to him outright, without any room for denial.
--
Tsukasa was eating breakfast with Saki and Toya before realizing he was going to be late for a meet-up with Wondershow.
He has this thing, where he instinctively kisses Saki on the forehead before he heads off, so he does. But, in his unfiltered older brother instinct and disarray, he kisses Toya on the forehead too. And just. Leaves.
Toya kinda blue screens before snapping back and being like "what."
Saki doesn't even bat an eye lmao she just kinda looks at him like he's a little weird.
Toya: (literally saw Tsukasa kiss Saki's forehead first before beelining to him without any hesitation) "I think... he mistook me for you"
Saki: "Toya you dumb fuck (/affectionate) you've been one of us since you stepped foot in our house"
--
Tenma siblings cuddle a lot, usually on the couch during movies. Tsukasa in the middle, Saki to his right, and Toya to his left. They aren't aware of the set position but whenever they switch, all of them all at once just think "something is not right rn"
While cuddling, Tsukasa often uses his right hand (which Saki is leaning on) to either scroll his phone, read, or so show work (costume designing, script writing, ideas, etc). He always leans his head on Saki's. He uses his left hand to run through Toya's hair.
--
Toya starts referring to Saki and Tsukasa as his siblings and family outside sometimes.
Saki and Tsukasa listens to pop music sometimes. Not their main music taste, but enough for it to be significant.
This culminates to a very confusing moment for VBS, who've met Toya's biological, douche, emotionally constipated classical music family, when they hear Toya say "Oh, yeah I know Taylor Swift. My family listens to her sometimes."
Which scared VBS to their core because why is Harumichi Aoyagi listening to western white girl music
--
Tsukasa loves baking and cooking. It's a stress reliever thing for him. This is a huge bonus for his siblings (mainly Saki. Toya's not a huge sweets person) because there's always sweets in the pantries.
Toya never sneaks into the kitchen alone, he wouldn't dare. Plus, again, not a huge sweets person. Saki, however, is a horrible influence. They often have 2am gossip, accompanied by brownies and vanilla ice cream.
--
Toya and Saki can't cook for their life. (I know canonically, they're okay-ish, but hear me out.)
Toya, raised as a rich kid for most his life, has never cut a single raw ingredient in his life until his late teen years.
Saki's been hospitalized for the majority of her life.
Tsukasa's the only Tenma sibling with cooking and baking skills (considering he had to fend for himself for a while)
While they were baking together, Toya and Saki managed to get the batter on the ceiling AND explode the microwave because the batter had too much eggshells in it when they put it in. Tsukasa had to call Rui over to fix it.
Tsukasa: "I can't pay you for now, Rui I'm so sorry-"
Rui: "Don't worry about it, Tsukasa"
Tsukasa: "I'll repay you in sweets when we're done?"
Rui: "...preferably not ceiling ones but yeah I'd like that"
--
Speaking of,
Ruikasa starts dating and Tsukasa swears that Rui had nothing to worry about when it comes to his family. They're welcoming! They're open! They'll love him.
Rui decided to not tell him about the glares coming from a certain pinkish blonde and split haired boy when they announced the news. (At least the parents were sweet)
Toya and Saki actually has no real gripes against Rui. They're protective, sure, they will eventually corner Rui and interrogate him, but Saki just thinks it's funny and Toya is just Toya. Rui's paranoid lmao
--
Akito punching Toya in the main story left a bruise (as seen in the official animation) which Tsukasa and Saki got really concerned about during their arcade hangout (Toya's first 3* side story).
Tsukasa figured out that Akito was the one who did it, and ranted to Saki about it. But he retracts it when the duo made up.
Saki isn't letting that shit go, oh no. This GINGER punched her brother?? Then, she started hearing about how Akito likes messing with Tsukasa, even insulting him to his face sometimes.
So she has a personal beef with Akito. Who didn't even know she existed.
When Akito first step foot into the Tenma household, he was dreading the presence of Tsukasa, but to his shock and horror, Tsukasa is actually more tame at home.
His biggest worry should've been the girl with pigtails, who, upon seeing him, got up from her chair and heads straight to her room. not breaking eye contact.
It takes a while, but Saki and Akito gains an unlikely alliance.
--
Tenma siblings: All three of them, at once
Tenma Twins: Saki and Toya
Tenma brothers: Tsukasa and Toya
Prototype Tenma: Tsukasa and Saki
(real original I know)
--
Kohane is Wondershow's number #1 fan, probably Tsukasa's number #6 fan (I love her but her competition is Saki, Toya, and Wondershow. Idk what to tell you. At least she got a number)
She absolutely loses it when Toya got them all free tickets to one of their shows.
Akito dreads going. An is slightly excited. Kohane is radiating pure joy.
Akito nearly cries when when Kohane admits that she actually likes Tsukasa as a person, not just a performer, when she properly meets him.
Akito: "An you're my only hope. Toya's biased, Kohane's insane"
An: "idk dude Tenma and Kamishiro are pretty cool when they're not actively trying to blow the school up"
Akito: "An please"
--
I have so much more idk maybe I'll post more later
Reminds me of that moment in the sports festival where Toya thinks he can throw a ball when he, in fact, cannot. Afterwards, in an area conversation he asks nene if she thinks he might, possibly, be somewhat unathletic? Poor guy keeps overestimating his own abilities 😭 send him to spojoy with the girlies

I did it! I finally made a side blog: @curatorryn! Prepare for the onslaught of peoples' beautiful art 💜💜
Here's the deal folks, as an artist who knows what it feels like to be supported or ignored here and viscerally wants to shower love on my fellow artists on tumblr without clogging my main art blog.... here ya go! I used to be the weird singular gushing commenter but now I can gush in reblogs like everyone else wahoo!
I imagine this blog will be overwhelmed with my current obsessions so you can expect loads of books and kpop fanart!
Keep creating, friends!
