I feel like people give Grisha more scrutiny for NOT being abusive to Eren than they do for being abusive to Zeke

I'm autistic and have ADHD. I also have Complex PTSD. I'm not a psychologist, but I've done studies on psychology in both High School and College and have had a lot of therapy.

I'm going to say this: It is neither Eren's nor Grisha's fault for the way Eren turned out

When Eren says he was "born this way," that's not meant to mean he was born evil; I'm pretty sure it's meant to imply neurodivergence. Mental illness is genetic; it shouldn't be a coincidence that Eren shared a lot of traits that Grisha exhibited in his restorationist years, especially towards Zeke.

I also feel like there is a disgusting level of apathy among fans towards how their fathers treated Zeke and Grisha. Grisha himself compares what he did to his own father's actions

Eren's behavior could easily stem from neurodivergent disabilities like autism, which could be concluded from his obsession, hyperfixations, lack of social awareness, intense sensitivity, and hyperempathy. Despite what many... unsavory members of science like to tell you, there is no known cause of autism; you're simply born with it or without it. Not only that, but he likely could've inherited Grisha's personality traits and mental issues.

Add this to the fact that he lost both his parents at a very young age and never had a single moment to emotionally develop, and you get someone who is very unhinged. Eren's only father figures were Hannes, who wasn't always there, and Levi, someone who should never have kids. The closest thing he had to a mother was Mikasa, who was basically his girlfriend.

Eren's mental state reflects how a child with untreated mental disorders would often feel. It's not his fault; it's not Grisha's fault; it's not Carla's fault. No one in the Jaeger family is at fault; Eren is the way he is because he was thrown into a world that punished nurture and empathy, growing up in a society that wants to force people into a tribalist collective mindset when his entire mental state is not fit for that type of society.

What I like about Vox is that he's not traditionally sympathetic like most villains, instead what makes him tragic is his fate

If you need to know what I mean, here's an example: Alex DeLarge from the novel/film A Clockwork Orange is probably one of the most evil protagonists in fiction, but when he faces his comeuppance, he is experimented on and tortured so that he can't act on violent or lustful urges without feeling pain. This also ruins his enjoyment of classical music and basically trying to do anything normal, which leaves him at the mercy of the public as he's abused and humiliated for their amusement. While he's a bad person, it's still horrific to watch because it taps into one of the most primal and powerful emotions humans have: Empathy.

With Vox, he's a mass murderer and was power-hungry, but I think anyone can agree that having a TV fall on your head and get electrocuted to death is a brutal way to go.

So is just every other version of Rick just a normal inventor?

It was always weird seeing RICK get fodderized. From the way the Citadel works, it feels like the majority of Ricks are just normalish people while only a handful are like our Rick or Rick Prime.

So how do I exactly get people to stick around?

This video grew at a rapid pace that I didn't expect; it has over 900 views and counting. So at least it kind of does. In truth, I have only 220 engaged views, which only gives him pennies. People also only stick around for a fifth of the video.

This video was just a short, easy-to-make analysis to buy me some time while I work on bigger projects so that my channel doesn't become one upload a month. It was a quick video talking about a side character in Helluva Boss nothing much.

But I still would've liked people to stick around. I've been trying to look into details and advice, but what do you guys think?

Been trying to make a rap battle for Eren Jaeger vs Bakugo, what are some tips you could bring?

I had this idea: Eren vs. Bakugo (AOT vs. MHA), a fun rap with clever references.

I thought of this idea: Eren would start his verse with, "Wow, look at this knockoff," then go over how Bakugo is a ripoff of Eren and a poorly written character. Then he'd talk about the Walls before saying, "Pray for a better writer in the next life, and take a swan dive off."

I also had this idea that Eren's final verse is him making fun of Bakugo's arc and authorial favoritism, ending with "Then he became the most beloved hero... for at least 10 years."

Bakugo's first verse would be "Shut up, you stupid oversized emo! Not even the colossal titan could match your stupid ego." He goes over how Eren is a bad person and a terrible boyfriend.

Stuff like that, but making the lyrics is hard.

The fact that people think this was a handful of years is prime anti-intellectualism

It would not take a destroyed world a handful of years to recover; It should be easy to note that it took thousands of years for humanity to recover. The song cover is even called "To You 2,000... or... 20,000 Years From Now..."

It took 20,000 years for the world to get nuked.

People denying this show how much someone is willing to go to make up their own lore rather than criticize a series.

Half-Toon Half-Anime/East vs West [Who Framed Roger Rabbit-inspired worldbuilding]

Frameworld is my Who Framed Roger Rabbit-inspired setting where cartoon characters called Animates coexisted with humans for over 300 years.

Animates have changed the world over the centuries, formed their own civilizations, and divided themselves into multiple sects. They divide themselves into multiple races, but they also divide themselves regionally. Animates living in the West are called Toons, while Animates living in the East are called Animes. The big divide between the Toons and Animes stems from an early East vs. West division that occurred during the Pre-Rapture days, both from colonial times and division in animation style. The sentiments reflect heavily on orientalism and xenophobia.

Some Animes see Toons as monsters or inherently aggressive people, while Toons view Animes on a spectrum; sometimes they admire Anime civilizations, or they see Animes as "sexy savages." You can figure out what that means. There are lots of misconceptions and fringe beliefs about the two, like "Animes are all expert fighters," "Toons carry diseases," "Animes are obsessed with sex," etc. While they are all different, the divide is purely a social construct, which brings us to our protagonist.

Elias Han-Falk, known by his friends as Elias or by his childhood nickname "Saja," was born on December 30th, 2329, in Jeongwha Province, formerly known as the Korean Peninsula, under the oppressive Showa League (A fascist theocracy that forces Animates into rigid roles and castes). He is the son of Abel Falk, a Toon born in the West who fled East seeking asylum, and Ayaka Han, a Catgirl. Abel loved studying Asia, anime, and cats. That is why, when things went back in the West (failed slave revolt), he ran away to the East and married Ayaka, a catgirl. When Elias was a child, the League found out about his existence; around this time, his father joined the Imperial Army to become an "Honorary Showa" and was MIA. His mother was executed for "bearing a demon-child of a Western Devil." Leaving Elias an orphan on the run.

As a mixed-race Animate, Elias shares qualities of both a Toon and an Anime. He is a spitting image of his mother, inheriting her tan skin and yellow eyes, but he has his father's hair color and lacks cat ears. He had a tail, but he cut it off when he was 8. He often has quick inner monologues, can stretch his body slightly, and is extremely expressive. In fact, he's often considered more expressive than most Toons or Animes. Elias is considered Abnormal, in the sense that he doesn't follow archetypes or certain tropes. Something criminal in the League, as they force Animates to abide by certain tropes. Elias himself, however, is considered "more Human" than most Animates; this has nothing to do with his heritage, but with being raised by rebels called the Abnormal Liberation Front (ALF) mixed with being rejected by both groups.

When it comes to how Elias views himself, he doesn't consider himself a Toon; despite having Toon qualities, he purely identifies with his mother's side.

These were a bunch of ideas I had, what are your thoughts and suggestions?

Would having a fictional crush in a Who Framed Roger Rabbit-style setting be the same as a celebirty crush?

This is something I thought about in my Who Framed Roger Rabbit-inspired setting, Frameworld, where cartoon characters called Animates manifested in a mysterious event known as the Artistic Rapture.

The main storyline of Frameworld is Art of Liberation, set three centuries after the events of the Rapture, and follows a band of rebels fighting a fascist government that forces Animates to conform to assigned archetypes.

Now, I wanted to mention that I specifically set the story eons into the future to avoid questions about known media because of possible copyright. But there are some bits I do try to sneak in.

Which brings us to the topic of this post.

The main protagonist of Art of Liberation is named Elias Han-Falk; he is a Mixed-race Animate, his father was a Toon from the West while his mother was a Catgirl born in Korea.

Elias's favorite show is Attack on Titan, and he has a huge fanboy crush on Mikasa Ackerman. Now, this mostly exists for multiple reasons:

  1. Small portions of Elias's character are based on my own; I have been a huge Attack on Titan fan since I was a little kid, and I was a huge Mikasa simp.
  2. Elias is a heroic parody of Eren Jaeger from AOT, so I thought it would be a nice meta reference that Elias would be crushing on Mikasa
  3. This story was adapted from old crossover fanfictions I made; one of them involved Eren travelling this crossover world to find Mikasa
  4. Elias's girlfriend, Orca Missouri, is very similar to Mikasa - a Tomboy Goth who's incredibly capable. So I guess this would be a funny way of saying he has a type.

But it is kind of weird from an in-universe standpoint, because Elias's crush on Mikasa would be like a Gen-Z kid simping over Joan of Arc. Because the story takes place 300 years after the Rapture.

Elias himself is a sex-repulsed Biromantic Asexual; his crush on Mikasa is solely based on her strength, beauty, and looks. It's not sexual attraction. I guess it is also weird, considering he has a girlfriend. What do you guys think?

[Mostly Joke Headcanon] If Eremika got married, Eren take her surname rather than Mikasa taking his.

Not because Eren is THAT type of guy, but because the Ackerman name is technically more important to Mikasa than Jaeger is to Eren, and he wouldn't want to take that from her. So instead, he'd go by Eren Ackerman.

Much to Levi's horror, knowing that Eren will now share his surname.

Ok, so I had this weird idea for a skit where Eren and Ymir switch places as a prank

This is in a weird AU where Ymir never went with Reiner and Bertholdt. I thought this would be funny cause every now and then people joke about how similar Eren and Ymir are from time to time.

Basically, Ymir proposes it to Eren who initially says no, but Ymir points out how funny it would be to see the looks on everyone's faces at the end. So he agrees.

First, Ymir cuts her hair and gets Eren a wig, then they switch clothes, then Ymir gives Eren makeup to have freckles on his face while Ymir uses makeup to cover her freckles. Finally, they work on mimicking each other's voices. Eren does a great Ymir impression while Ymir does a terrible Eren impression. Ymir is haunted by how convincing Eren's look actually is.

Later it cuts to a series of scenes of both Eren and Ymir doing each other's day, the biggest problem is that Eren is objectively stronger and smarter than Ymir while Ymir is far more composed and less disturbed than Eren.

Which causes lots of complications and messy situations, thankfully nothing important was happening so no one died.

By the end of the day, Eren and Ymir reveal each other's identities but it turns out no one actually assumed Ymir was Eren, they knew from the get go that it was her prank. But it turns out Historia and the others believed Eren was Ymir because he did a good impression.

Causing embarrassment for both of them. Ymir because her acting abilities were proven moot, and Eren because now Armin isn't the only femboy in the Scouts.

I hate this meme

Here: https://9gag.com/gag/aLgzw9z

Long story short, during an English lecture, the teacher states that the door being red is an expression of anger by the character. So what the guy does is he takes engineering class, graduates, then invents a portal to go to the Naruto universe, revives Shakespeare, and has him tell his teacher why he made the door red.

What I hate is that, aside from the anti-intellectualist mindset, that is actually very in line with Shakespeare's style of writing. He has used color as a way of conveying characters' emotions.

In Romeo and Juliet, the Capulets wear red to symbolize their short tempers, contrasted with the Montagues who wear blue. In Macbeth, red is a constant innuendo for guilt.
