The Skybound comics frustrate me because they have some bit of golds for shippers like Starscream being essentially groomed by Megatron into being a psycho or Soundwave kneeling and taking Megatron's hand while being praised, but the whole of it is so, so bad. Like you said, nothing ever happens and no one develops, bots just show up and die and we're supposed to care.

>>1354
Yeah this. Some ideas are great on paper and I would like to see this getting explored, but the presentation is so.. bland? I am not sure, I see things I should like but they don't make me feel anything. I believe it's not just the writing but the art as well. The art is great for action scenes but fails to convey emotions and subtle personality traits and most characters have the same voice on top of that. I know Milne might be overhyped, but his style is a good counter example. Sometimes a character didn't get more than 3-4 panels of screentime and left an impression regardless. You saw them appear once and could already guess some quirk or standpoint they might have. Even Ramondelli works for me, albeit in a different way. His series are also dark and full of suffering, similar to Skybound's series. But he at least manages to convey an intense atmosphere.

For some reason the events in Skybound feel very distanced to me and the characters detached and samey (save for Starscream, Soundwave, Megs and OP). I genuinely wonder if they try to keep this running for 100 issues with nothing but non-stop fighting. Feels a bit as if a boy made a comic of his toy battles. I hope it will eventually slow down and focus on character development and interactions, but I wouldn't wonder if it would trigger the audience they're aiming for. I never read a DWJ series before so no idea what type of stuff he usually creates.

Discord: tallfinalfantasy for a valve free TF server. Fair warning, filth and deep fetishes are allowed (in their own channel) and . All 18+ though. But unlike most discords irl bullshit is strongly discouraged.

Another fair warning, it's not fujochan minted.

Implied that issue 26 is when things calm down. Based on the preview.

I am not bored so much as, I hate cliffhanger endings so I chose to not read until I know I can stop. There is nowhere near enough to be satisfying for a monthly series compared Japanese work.

70s BL is so ethereal. I've also always wished for a comeback. I am of the unpopular opinion that BL looked the best in the 70s, back when it was heavily inspired by shoujo. I also love that the OVA has the same character designer as the original gundam, cracks me up to think of a normie looking boomer like Yasuhiko being told he has to do character designs for a BL.

Tim Roth is such a QT. The dynamic between these two in the movie just gets better and better the more you watch because of tarantintoe's out-of-order timeline style of film.

Not sure what thread to put this in but I learned that the "oldest movie to feature a gay character" Algie the Miner was directed by the very first female director Alice Guy-Blache. Does that make it historical fujo content? Movie certainly feels gay, but has a pesky woman interfering in the end .

>>1348
Yeah it just comes off as them missing the main joke of the show being little kids with foul potty mouths.

>>1348
For me, it depends on the level of seriousness (I don't mind there being a plotline), but it usually deviates too far from the show for me to take it seriously.

>>1347
Those are an improvement to the AU ones where they don't acknowledge anything from the show at all and change the characters personality in order for them not to be problematic, at that point just make OCs or write for another fandom. I miss when more people tried to write their own episodes with a side of shipping more often
>>1348
High School setting in south park fics are very weird because it's either everything the same with just one line stating they're aged up now out of obligation so the author doesn't get cancelled or it's a completely different setting

>>1327
It's been a long time since I last saw these cartoons but I remember they felt kinda gay at times.

I ended up watching Fixed last night and was honestly not expecting the scene where the main character unintentionally tricks the douchebag rival character into fucking his ass while the douchebag rival thinks that he's fucking/impregnating the love interest which would actually be a pretty cool ntr concept if it involved humans instead of goofy looking cartoon dogs. That being said the animation was really nice and and I appreciate that it's an adult animation that isn't based on original ip even if the humor is basically for twelve year old boys.

>>1343
I'm glad you got gay ntr out of it. I kind of want to check it out because Genndy made it, but it looks so lowbrow it's offputting. Maybe someday.

the noncon for this fandom is divine

thragg and nolan look kawaii as fuck

>>1340
Is fujochan really going to be what finally gets me to watch this show?

>>1341
The mc is hot af and the show is perfect for ryonafags. Dadson and constant enemies for whumping.

Draco/Harry might be some of the very first fanfiction I ever read. It is the Rnglish equivalent to shipping shonen rivals and I still love it.

>HBO
I think the movies are iconic and have perfect casting but maybe it can set itself apart by being a more faithful adaption of the novels, we'll see.

>>1333
I have no idea how I attached the same picture twice but whatever

Favorite book is Goblet of fire, what's your?

>>1331
I'm reading through the books for the first time, I was always a moviefag growing up, I wish I read sooner because the books are much more enjoyable and since Harry is my favorite character and reading his internal dialogue always has me giggling and kicking my feet, currently on book 2, I'm slow with it because fanfic always takes priority with me haha

I'm not a Rarry shipper but I read through the doujin you linked anyways and it was so cute, I also love how Sirius was drawn, he always gets crazy good fanart

>>1333
They really are iconic, not as much as they used to be back in the 2000s and like 2010 but still huge nonetheless, curious how many new shippers the show will eventually bring, I remember being like 11 seeing an edit of the actors embracing together in bed and that like, short wired my brain at the time

>>1332
Ah shit oops LOL, this is entirely my fault for checking all the other boards but only skimming /f/, if mods want to delete the thread/move posts then I wouldn't be sad

Did Palpatine rape Anakin? I want a spin-off of Anakin getting broken by the dark side.

>>989
i’m a palpakin truther. there’s no way in hell that palps wasn’t basically his sugar daddy (i mean, the opera scene, hello??)

>>1296
Just watched the first episode. Lance needs correction from Keith

The other day I went to a collectible show and saw a girl trying to resell a bunch of Klance merch lol.

>>1315
That's so funny. While I do think zines have merit as "fandom history" and deserve their secondhand market, the idea of trying to resell artist alley keychains and pins is a little much.
>>1302
>I assume the fandom itself elevated a lot of the ships because somehow 6,000+ fics were spawned on ao3 just from the first season
Right on the money. It was a spiritual successor to Attack on Titan in this regard.

Just saw Saw 1. I want to see Adam bottom

>>1111
I remember thinking Saw would be an interesting setting for a BL story but the movies don't do much for me personally.

Recently saw Scream for the first time and I was pleasantly surprised by how funny it was. I also was thankful I didn't have the twist of there being 2 murderers ruined. Time to read every Billy/Stu fanfic
