As Hilarious As It Is To Watch Floyd Boredly Swim Across The Screen, This Is Actually So Devastating

As hilarious as it is to watch Floyd boredly swim across the screen, this is actually so devastating…

Floyd’s dream essentially involves him always winning, succeeding, and being the strongest at everything he does, which, as we know, is what he came on land to avoid. Life is more interesting for him when he isn’t able to achieve everything with ease.

Idia explains, in gamer terms, that if this were a video game one would simply be able to turn it off, walk away, and say “Not for me.” But Malleus has quite literally trapped Floyd in this dream, alone, without growth or enrichment, for all eternity.

And now Floyd’s given up on playing at all, reduced to swimming in circles like a goldfish in a bowl.

i dont want to tag this with every fandom cause that feels like tagging a bunch of fandoms on ao3 which is. kind of a lot. and not something i really like cause its kind of crowded and appears in fandoms where it might not even play that big of a part in

but so

it feels like almost every fandom has some sort of non-human thing that they like having their characters as in fics? also im kind of outing what fics in fandoms i read lOl

like

Lout of the Count's Family - Dragons (or dark elves) Dream SMP - I think it was often based off of who they were in Origins SMP(?) but there were also Avians/Winged for the SBI, or Fae (which is a popular thing for characters to be written as) Twisted Wonderland - Fae Batman - Metas. That's still human but is also something that they usually aren't in canon. Or talons. Or LoA. Or Joker Jr, which I don't think is as popular but I like it. PJO - Y'know those fics where character is the child of a Primordial, which is above the gods? Grishaverse - Sun Summoner, or- I forgot what the Darkling is called but that version. Either that or is a Grisha when they aren't originally Supernatural - angels who have probably fallen. or Enochian-Speaking Twilight - There's vampires but I've also seen of them having some sort of relation to the Vol... turi..? I can't remember but the vampires who are in charge of stuff??? Teen Wolf - Stiles being a spark (which is apparently not a canon thing). or like. literally anything but human tbh. There is also Stiles accepting the bite or getting bitten and/or bitten instead Bungo Stray Dogs - Dazai is The Book. thats literally the tag. Genshin Impact - Gods? Archons? Travelers are something something I forgor. or character is god reincarnated. Also Khaenri'ah stuff Honkai: Star Rail - I don't think it's as popular but character is emanator of so and so, like Sampo for Aha. still human tho? Katekyou Hitman Reborn! - I don't think this counts as non-human but Arcobaleno? I think there's also Varia (someone) but less popular. There's also Skull is a Sky or Skull is (literally anyone) Naruto - Jinchuuriki (everyone). Or Senju/Mokuton Sakura. or basically bloodline stuff The Magnus Archives - THE MECHANISMS which i honestly know nothing about

anyway i cant think of anything else

"Ah, is that a fact?"

twst book 3 spoilers

something i just noticed

and then

idk if its like a line he repeats often? cause i know leona often says something like 'be prepared' in jp but the localization team changes it to different things minus that one time during book 6 iirc

hhhi guys wanna see me talk about what anime/manga i like

ok

so

my mal page looked kind of boring so i decided 'why not talk about what im fixating on'

and then it. expanded from there... (to be honest i think i just like yapping about anything and everything to people)

so im.

if i ever say a word that doesnt make sense. or well is typed then just know. that probably isnt meant to be there but i wasnt paying attention

also if i drop a line of thought suddenly. know that it is because i started typing on a different part because i kept hopping onto different areas and adding things that i mightve forgotten to go back to because i kept getting hit with thoughts on what to add

----

Current Fixations: Twisted Wonderland, Lout of Count's Family, Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint??? (i wanna get into it), Honkai: Star Rail uhh i cant remember anything else (i am slowly crumbling into a mess of sobbing noises as i delve deeper into the stories)

Potential: Debut or Die???? It seems interesting so far but I'm worried about how wacky idol drama might be. (..I remember googling something about it and there's just something about Park Moondae and.. pADS? or like tampons idk? And I'm pretty sure it's made up for drama (in story) but ??????) I really really like Dungeon Meshi. It's not something that's consumed my life that it makes up a lot of what I think of so uh not what I consider a fixation, but I like it and am excited to see it continued. (Yes I know there's a finished manga but I don't wanna get spoiled! This is genuinely a show I got into WITHOUT SPOILERS?? Which is insane because I usually get hit with MAJOR spoilers (end game type lol) that then make me think 'oh cool, that happens?' and makes me watch. But Dungeon Meshi had NONE OF THAT! I like cooking animes A LOT and just found it so I decided to get into it. It was great and I was not expecting there to suddenly be plot in my cooking anime but I don't hate it, it's really cool. I'm hyped.) Also Apothecary Diaries is great. I didn't get spoiled on that one either, I just got into it thinking it'd be something I could just put in the background (I did have it open though in dub so trying to pay attention while doing other stuff) and then it turned out to be actually really good. So, wow. The Promised Neverland season one was PEAK, best thing ever. Season two, uhh... (I did read the manga for that one though!) It also made me understand why MAL separates seasons, which made me very annoyed when I first made an account trying to add everything I watched and trying to add all the MHA seasons barely remembering which one had which. All Saints Street is cozy to watch. I have like the 3rd favorited because of that one episode where they're at like a play or something and Neil (with the help of like the Demon King I think??) suddenly busts out this really cool move. I want to read it's manga (listen I'm going to refer to it as manga because that's the term I'm used to otherwise I will be so confused) but MAL doesn't have that entry..?? It was in whatever state it's called when they're added but you can't interact with it because it's not added added. And now I can't find it so unfortunate. Apparently it has more gayness??

My thing is that I get fixated on something and devour so much content regarding it, and then drop it like a month later with little to no interest. Sometimes I come back to it but not as into it. (Sometimes I stay with it longer then that but I have my finger in a LOT of different fandom pies.)

Things I wanna get into: Black Butler, One Piece, Heaven's Official Blessing, Scum Villain's Self-Saving System (something like that i forgot the name), Bleach, Katekyou Hitman Reborn!, I'm Not That Kind of Talent, Naruto, Honkai Impact 3rd I went through Persona 3 Reload but I haven't seen the anime-related stuff to it yet. Have no idea what happens in The Answer. Vanitas no Carte. I watched one season and then stopped because I wanted to watch it while super focusing because I wanted to really pay attention. ..And then I never started. I wanna see what the hype about Nier:Automata is about but for the life of me I just can't get into it. Kind of want to get into Pokemon but I think I'm way too many years late on that train. Also I've started blanking out on what's going on with the.. Horizons?? Anime?? The new Pokemon anime.

Was fixated on but kinda not so much now? (Still keeping up with it): Oshi no Ko, My Hero Academia, Jujtusu Kaisen, Bungo Stray Dogs

Manga I want to read: Toilet-Bound Hanako Kun?? I saw the anime but that apparently skipped some arcs and then I never got into reading it. I finished Hunter x Hunter's anime and wanted to get into the manga to continue from it but then I never did it so oops but I don't remember what happened. Haha did I mention I forget things easy? ..Maybe Solo Leveling? I watched the anime but I honestly don't like the appearance change. It's probably just because of preference since it's not bad it's just not a thing I like. But I feel like I should because it is probably interesting maybe???? S-Classes That I Raised. I think the being looked down upon because 'so and so' would break me but TIME TRAVEL? Also story because goddamn like the beginning part?

Old fixations but will still like: Assassination Classroom was great to me. Ending always got me crying, and I like interacting with stuff related to it. Violet Evergarden is 10/10 always makes me cry even on rewatch, what a masterpiece. There's also Demon Slayer which I know the ending of but I really like seeing it brought to life in the anime. Hyped for the movies but also hell because movies take so long to appear in a streaming platform and already spoilers. Movie quality is crazy though so excited. Anyone remember that one fan animation of Zenitsu AND* (i said x but not in a shippy way but an 'and' way and i realize it could be taken the wrong way SO) Kaigaku or something that looked genuinely like an actual thing?? There's Spy x Family's movie which I haven't been spoiled yet but AHHHH. Danganronpa was a big fixation I had for awhile to be honest. Yuri on Ice was SO GOOD??? I do this thing where something gets popular and so I avoid it as much as I can. And then I turn around late to the party and get into it. I shouldn't but I do. I can't believe I didn't get into it when it got super big but I also probably wouldn't really remember what happened by then. Genshin Impact consumed my life until I ran out of storage so I got into Honkai: Star Rail. I'm not too too into Genshin anymore but trying to keep up with it? Kind of?

Dead fixation??: Fairy Tail I think was one of the first few anime I ever watched and I loved it so much. And also I don't remember anything that happened so... I kind of got into EDENS ZERO but I'm not that fixated and I'm not the biggest fan of fanservice. That one episode where, well, spoilers, but y'know the one where suddenly everything is going wrong and people are dying and then it turns out it's like a weird sort of power the protagonist who I cannot remember the name of for the life of me but is like Lucy but other character?? Her?? has??? It got dark QUICK and that was cool to see. There was also Sword Art Online? I really liked it but I have no idea what's going on now. One of my favorites was like Gun Gale Online to be honest though.

it. was originally meant to be just current fixations. but then i thought isnt that too little??? so then i started talking about things i kinda liked but wasnt sure on and then it spiraled from there

Treasure of the (Vampire) Duke's Family?! / TCF/LCF Fic (Fic Rec)

When Kim Rok Soo fell asleep while reading, he did not wake up in Cale Henituse's body. In some ways, this changed nothing. In other ways, it changed everything.

basically krs becomes naru lol. ive recently been getting super fixated on tcf and naru and white star and just interactions. and its both so fucking stressful and also 'aHAHAH nothing to be suspicious of here uncle hAHAHAH'

and its. so fucking cool. and id say its pretty canon divergent. stuff changes, some stuff stays the same, but so on and so on

and i think theres some stuff thats not actually canon that also changes it while making sense as we're well from dark creature pov and why so and so and i dont wanna spoil it because its really cool

it hasnt been updated in like a year i dont think (at 50 chapters with 480k words holy moly) but its. so fucking cool.

and i like it very very much.

id rlly recommend giving it a read

[Twisted Wonderland Theory] Floyd's Nicknames Analysis

(Image from the Twisted Wonderland Wiki fandom)

MC/Yuu: Shrimpy/Koebi-chan

Shrimps have thin and fragile legs. MC/Yuu lives in Ramshackle, and due to the conditions of the dorm, it's likely that the MC would get sick a lot and doesn't consume much nutrition. Someone also told me that shrimp is also kind of an insult for a small person. Although since MC is the player, they can be whatever height you want.

Grim: Seal/Azarashi-chan

Grim does kind of look like a seal. Sort of.

Riddle: Goldfish/Kingyo-chan

Goldfish are intelligent, like Riddle. In the sun, their skin produces pigment, like how humans become more tan. The pigment makes their skin become a red color, like Riddle's hair.

Trey: Sea Turtle/Umigame-kun

Green sea turtles are primarily herbivore, and Trey's favorite food is sugared violets, and violets are a plant/flower.

Cater: Sea Bream/Hanadai-kun

A sea bream is a fish that's commonly eaten. A sea bream's skin color will vary depending on the water type and environment, like how Cater is adaptable to many situations.

Ace and Deuce: Crab/Kani-chan and Mackerel/Saba-chan

I think their hair color and style just reminds Floyd of a crab and mackerel fish.

Leona: Sea Lion/Todo-senpai

The lifespan of a sea lion is 20-30 years, Leona is 20 years old.

Ruggie: Suckerfish/Kobanzame-chan

The electric yellow cichlid is the most recognizable suckerfish. Ruggie has dirty blonde hair. Yellow is like the way brighter version of blonde.

Jack: Sea Urchin/Uni-chan

Jack's hair is spiky like a sea urchin's. A sea urchin can also drill a hole in a rock, I guess this kind of resembles Jack's physical strength.

Kalim: Sea Otter/Rakko-chan

Sea otters have a pouch on their body where they keep their favorite rock and other things, kind of like Kalim's treasure room.

Jamil: Sea Snake/Umihebi-kun

Basically their snakes that live underwater, nice. They are found in warm coastal waters, like how Scarabia dorm is located in a desert.

Vil: Betta Fish/Beta-chan or Beta-senpai

Betta fish are native to Thailand and are famous for its colors and large, flowy fins which they use to fight. The fish resembles Vil really nicely.

Rook: Seagull/Umineko-kun

Seagulls learn how to learn, remember, and pass on behaviors which help them catch their prey. Similar to how Rook remembers a bunch of information on different students and tricks his prey in order to catch them.

Epel: Guppy/Guppy-chan

Guppies are nicknamed rainbow fish, they are characterized by different colors, patterns, shapes, and fin size. They are also highly adaptable, like how Epel was able to adapt to Pomefiore despite not liking the dorm much.

Idia: Firefly Squid/Hotaru Ika-senpai

Firefly squids can flash lights in countless patterns, either in unison or individuality, this resembles how Idia's hair legit glows.

Ortho: Sea Angel/Clione-chan

Sea angels are really unique. They have little, tiny horns which are sensory organs and their wing-like structure called parapodia are actually feet. Since their transparent, we can see their heart. This resembles how Ortho has all these gadgets on him and how we can see his "heart". Sea angels catch prey by shooting out tentacles, like how Ortho can shoot his magic laser beam.

Malleus: Sea Slug/Umiushi-senpai

Sea slugs are really dangerous, they have poisonous skin and are even cannibals, I infer this is supposed to resemble how dangerous Malleus is.

Lilia: Flapjack Octopus/Mendako-chan

I infer Floyd chose this nickname because of Lilia's hair style and height. His hair sort of kind of looks like the body of a flapjack octopus and both are pretty small in height.

Silver: Jellyfish/Kurage-chan

Jellyfish are silver/white and Silver has silver hair. They can also be bioluminescent, so they can produce their own light, which can be any color, including purple and blue, and sometimes, Silver's eyes seem to be a purple-blue color.

Sebek: Crocodile/Wani-chan

Well, their are some green crocodiles out there, I think.

Crewel: Beak Fish/Ishidai-sensei

Both are striped. Crewel has strips on his fur coat and beak fish have stripes on their skin too, both are black and white.

Sam: Seahorse/Umiuma-kun

Seahorses look very bony. Sam has a bone print on some parts of his clothes.

Trein: Red Squid/Akaika-sensei

I infer that Floyd chose this nickname because Trein wears a maroon coat, which I guess reminds him of a red squid.

Vargas: Lobster/Lobster-sensei

This is pretty self explanatory.

Okay, that's all. I have a headache.
