I feel like SAWTOWNE’s “Confessions of a Rotten Girl” is so good partially because of how it makes even people who may dislike fujoshis sympathize with Miku, and it’s interesting that it’s not actually done by painting her as “one of the good ones”. Everything that’s despised about fujoshi culture, Miku explicitly is portrayed as doing.
Disliking female characters on the basis of them “getting in the way” (and being quite misogynistic about it to boot), sexualizing and shipping men in real life (the men portrayed in the song are her teachers), and even the yaoi paddle known for being used to sexually harass cosplayers…
… all these aspects are there. Hell, one of the most disliked part about fujoshi culture from a social justice standpoint — the language of describing queer relationships as “sinful” — is the whole basis behind the song.
However, SAWTOWNE, instead of lessening that toxic trait, “yes, and”s it. “Yes, she calls queer relationships sinful, as a (presumably) heterosexual woman who finds their relationship gratifying. AND, the reason she does that is because she is a sexually repressed Christian who feels guilty about having any sexual desire whatsoever.”
I think that one (very clever!) addendum makes it so any discomforting aspects to the song takes a backseat. Instead of being a song about trying to resist an interest in yaoi / The Gays specifically, it more so becomes a song about trying to resist any “abnormal” sexual desires, which makes it very easy to like this version of Miku, even as someone who very much dislikes the aspects of fujoshi culture she represents.
Plus we need more gooner girl rep anyway, lol. (As a comment on the video said: close enough! Welcome back Plus Boy!)
The tsp hyperfixation is bad bad
I only bought it like last week
anyways here’s the narrator that lives in my brain rent free <3 I ADORE all the sort of cryptic eldritch / inhuman narra designs but unfortunately mine is just. Some guy
I like the fact that Apollo's circle of acquaintances is just... completely batshit. like he knows/knew and is/was on good terms with
a (presumably) very famous rockstar
gangsters
a popular foreign singer (who is also his mother)
a famous magician troupe
astronauts
multiple high-profile legal professionals
the literal public enemy number one of a small asian country
the princess of said country
Day 5: Affection
i’m sorry this is late!! i’ve been super busy lately but i absolutely plan on finishing the stobotnik week prompts….eventually!!
Anyways that’s for all the love you guys have been giving my art, it genuinely means so much to me to see people liking and commenting!! You guys are the best!
I know that the word companion can be used platonically but The Narrator calling Stanley "a wonderful companion" in his speech after collecting all the Figleys, it just... Yknow, it's food
Mobs still getting use to teru’s overwhelming amounts of affection and attention
thinking about the narrator again
like he feeds of praise and being criticized is like twisting a knife in his gut, but he also doesn’t care about how other actually feel about his game, as long as they talk about how amazing he is
and the skip button fucking destroys him because of this, breaks him down to a point where interaction alone is more rewarding that praise normally. worst of all is that he back himself into a corner, a cold, empty corner, all because he wanted to be adored by the masses
and i think cookie9 saying “they should add a skip button” is what made the narrator do this. with the other reviews, they give no “this would make it better”, only criticism. but with cookie9, the narrator knows exactly what they want, he knows what would make them like him.
with all the other reviews, he defends himself, he doesn’t want to put in the work of think what would make them like me? but cookie9 gives that to him directly, makes it easy
he doesnt actually want to change his game to make is appetizing to everyone, he just want everyone to like it. and a skip button wouldn’t change much, would it?
assign a key to it, that’s small and unobtrusive! his game is still the same and cookie9 will surely edit their review saying how much they adore the new change!
and that totally happens idk what y’all are talking about
I'm glad a lot of people headcanon apollo justice as trans (and I agree) but my hot take is that he's the kinda guy that goes on T and learns he has the male pattern baldness gene. he hits 30 and turns into this genre of man:
like you knowwww his business card has a logo that's just glasses and beard
