A little Madoka I drew some time ago.

My adventuring party and I ran into a soul-seer who told us all of our true names. Our mage's true name is Solace Pendragon, which we're pretty sure means he's the legitimate heir to the throne. Mine is actually Stacy, which is raising a lot of questions and provoking some introspection. But what I'm really concerned about is why our healer's true name is apparently "The Great Serpent Leviathan."

what did it mean, on Subterranean Animism Reimu C Route, for ZUN to write Aya Shameimaru (journalist, widely speculated to be based off his wife) as a flagrant chaser?

there’s this term i coined in my friendgroup i call “the charizard effect” and it can apply to anything and everything, but it was born from me explaining my feelings about the pokemon charizard. the term is basically about how overexposure to something be it by corporate shilling or fandom prominence drives me away from really enjoying something bc i’m exposed to it so much against my will i become tired of it. it came to me bc i was ranting about how tpci does not, and cannot stop reinventing charizard, and how it is popular and obtusely included in almost every region, merch, etc in every way possible and it’s highly commodified.

i dont dislike the pokemon charizard, in fact i really like its X form, but i am exposed to so much charizard in my pokemon consumption that i cant be bothered to care for it in any more than in passing. this applies to a bunch of other stuff i’d otherwise be ok with, but i always just call this aversion phenomena “the charizard effect”

making this term has done numbers for me being able to concisely express how i feel abt something. like. its not charizard’s fault i feel this way, im sure i’d feel normal abt it if it was stripped of all this over commodification, but i cannot. hence the name

Girlbossing Too Close to the Moon

The Watatsuki sisters spark intense and often gendered backlash from the Touhou fandom, despite the series’ overwhelmingly female cast. Too aloof, too perfect, too OP; they expose the fandom’s discomfort with women who don’t play nice or seek approval. This essay discusses the mutating misogyny hidden beneath the fandom's disdain for the Watatsukis and how the sisters challenge the limits of female strength and likability in a female-dominated series.

*girls are reading now. please wait warmly* ...are those the SSiB panels everyone was so panicked about..? those were just gags about common sayings in the shooting game community ("why don't they send undodgeable patterns", "deterministic bullets are free, just route", lolvampireweaknesses etc.) the start of a Reimu training arc, and a Yukari double-cross. (I take some grief at the "I'll atomize the Bamboo Forest" bit, it feels like the authorial willingness to worldburn that drove me away from shonen, but, like; girl got her sake swindled for the trouble). Yorihime wasn't even that much of a heel; the biggest issue I had with her part was how much of the chapter she spent reading bible verses. she should've aurafarmed more. - i'm gonna echo/annoy op yet further with the declaration that this same allergy to powerful women exerting, to be clear, ANY complex agency against the perceived "protagonist faction" ripples into a LOT of the fandom's 'inter-waifu rivalry storyboarding' and seeps into the postcanon characterizations of a LOT of girls percieved to be too much of a threat to the status quo if not 'flanderized into narrative redundancy''. (my poor Okuu... house raided by the authorities and now everyone thinks you're Abridged!Broly...)

A major crossover event involving Dandadan, Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo, and Dorohedoro had to be cancelled because its resulting name infringed on the copyright to lyrics by Scatman John.

we must iterate yet further upon Drakengard. 3D beat'emup rpg where all your companions are the main girl's headmates

they see a semiphantasmal 6'9" cybertransmisogynized wargoddess doing Funny Games shit to anyone who sees her while holding a government job.

you see an underslept overstimulated egg having mid-combat gender arguments with a slimegirl fairypervert named "Psyker Mesugaki"

yes she's a primary romance option. yes the sex scene confirms that the big girl is diegetically fucking her own tangible combat afterimage. yes that sequence plays every time you miss a note of the more classically futa-bull-on-loli sequence that is itself a digital hardcore rhythm minigame. yes it samples those bells
