Thank U Op - Tumblr Posts
i’m going to stay up thinking about how yuma is almost definitely still a teenager, and makoto is the same age as him technically, and he became ceo of what is basically apple or amazon or whatever, three years before the story starts.
which means the former ceo saw this fucking, idk, thirteen year old, four foot eleven toddler, wearing a halloween mask, and went yeah he can take my job. ok.
i’m obsessed.
jimintonin for whoever needs it today ♡

We should run away, I can hear them tapping on the ground,
where do we wanna go?
I believe Fugo and Trish would be besties in the most awkward way possible
i'm never getting over the fact that romance as a genre, as the HIGHEST selling genre, exists largely because straight women fantasise about being loved and treated kindly by men and men constantly make fun of this because they think it's just that unrealistic that they could cherish women and that women are stupid in the first place for wanting such an impossible thing

if i said girltrick and girlpete would u get it or nah
I'm agree with your meta about gods ready to take choice away from the family who worksips Father. And how it's bad and kinda comfirm what father accuses Heaven to do.
But does Father really care for this family, does he really see them as egal? He sees people as tools (Yato, Nora, Yukine, ect..), he abused his own child (Yato, Nora) and manipules them into thinking that that's love, as soon that someone isn't agree with him anymore, he resort to manipulation, abuse and violence and sometime murder. He helped to plot Bishamon murder/forced reincarnation (failed) and planned Ebisu forced reincarnation to take the koto (sucess). He doesn't care how much people, shinkis or gods suffer or die as long he has what he want.
Ebisu and Take face a choice right. But do they have really a choice in the matter? Father can't be stopped otherwhise. He's dangerous. He says that he wanted to strike gods but doesn't care how much humans will suffer in the way. What he did with Yukine and the net was not good (for me it was a kind of brainwashing).
Yes they were ready to took the choice away and that's bad, tht's what Father accuse the gods of. but i think that they didn't see any other choice they weren't happy about it. They come with the idea to destroy a grave only.
It's not like if Father was benevolent, sadly because then this choice woudn't happen. Even if the godness of sun herself treated him a a child doing a tantrum, he's very dangerous.
Yeah all is a matter of choice. A horrible and unfair choice. Yato would have cut the bounds against their will, but Take can't do that.
The gods had the choice to kill the familly and cut the way to come back to life of Father, or leave them and having a dangerous guy causing havoc and destruction, and not only to gods but to humanity too (i mean with what happen in the last chapters, the gods face a even worst choice to protect humanity from Father's plan). What they could have done? It's not like if they had more time to think about it.
And this choice is horrible. And Take and Ebisu weren't happy to have this choice to do. And i'm happy that they didn't need to kill them. Take himself said that he felt bad to have manipuled the old man into make him believe that they would do the soul ritual after his death (they can't since they're gods) but they needed to cut father's way to come back again and again, because nothing else can stop him.
what do you think?
It's not a critic of your meta, i just wanted to share my thougths with you about the whole situation =)
(in reference to this post)
i agree with some of your points, but i don’t think whether father cared specifically for that family or not is pertinent to the situation. he cares (and i use that term lightly) about humanity in general, not specific people, similarly to how gods do (tenjin saying “gods are incapable of loving humans” lives in my brain bc it applies to all gods, but also to father and that could tie into ‘becoming what you hate’ but i digress!). he uses yato, mizuchi and yukine as tools, though i believe he does love them (or at least, he believes he loves them) in his own semi-fucked up way. he holds anger towards gods and their associates for holding up and reinforcing heaven’s system, which father perceives as fundamentally unfair and wrong, so i don’t think him planning the murder/reincarnation of gods really speaks to whether or not he cares about humanity. to father, gods and humans are completely separate entities, and what he does to one isn’t necessarily what he’d do to the other. every ‘wrong’ or ‘morally reprehensible’ or ‘shitty’ thing we’ve seen him do has been to gods, shinki, or associates of gods like hiyori, which likely makes him lump them into a single category. even if hiyori’s human, he still can’t see her as anything more than someone associated with heaven (+ him not caring about specific humans, just humanity in general)
ebisu and takemikazuchi just having and considering the choice of whether or not to kill/sever the ties of that family proves them to be what father believes all gods are, regardless of intentions. and really, i think intent is the least important part of this discussion! it’s the fact that gods are above humans in pretty much every possible way, and they can use that power as they see fit, because “a god’s decision is always the right one”. it’s about the fact that ebisu and takemikazuchi (and any god, for that matter) can takes lives, sever ties, and completely alter the life of humans with zero consequences. it’s about the fact that the humans have no input on a decision that can permanently alter their lives, and how they most likely won’t even realize what was taken away, or will forget, due to the separation of the near and far shore (think hiyori completely forgetting about yato and yukine when yato goes back to father despite the fact that they changed her and her life).
it’s a morally gray situation, and arguments can be made for either side. if gods are so above humanity, why are they incapable of stopping a human like father? if heaven isn’t unjust, why should kind people like that family have to suffer? does heaven not fully take father seriously specifically because he is, or was, human and isn’t on their level? should takemikazuchi and ebisu even be able to consider that choice, and not have to tell the people affected? does them feeling guilty absolve them of the fact that they manipulated a human, a being who is supposed to be beneath them, yet they’re supposed to serve? are the humans in the wrong for calling father again and again? should they even be judged by heaven’s standards if they don’t know the whole situation? does the situation absolve takemikazuchi and ebisu of the cycle, or are they perpetuating it anyway? should ebisu and takemikazuchi be judged for perpetuating the cycle when it’s all they’ve ever known and they’re products of a system? do the ends justify the means? like i wrote in the tags of that post, the immediate dilemma of the situation was the question of whether their needs (killing father) were worth taking a choice (without consent) from someone else, and if it was an okay to do it if the affected party wouldn’t even realize that a choice was taken away. and this, of course, can lead to bigger discussions like this one jaja
it’s a super complicated situation and an argument can be made for either side, and that’s at the core of the manga itself, which i love! thanks for sharing your thoughts! i love discussing noragami <33
A Fandom Primer for the KinnPorsche BingeWatchers
(no spoilers)
Welcome new fandom members! Here is a primer to bring you up to speed on all the fandom gossip and inside jokes so that you can reach maximum unhinged-ness along with the rest of us. This is just a primer for the tumblr fandom (fuck knows what’s happening on twitter or tiktok) with a sampling of relevant posts and some personal faves – all of this is completely in jest, and as much as possible avoiding any spoilers for the show or book. New members, enjoy this speedrun through 14 weeks of insanity; old members, enjoy the feral nostalgia!
The backstory
This show’s got lore almost as good as the storyline itself. Okay, let’s keep it brief. Filmania picked up the novel by writing-duo Daemi and released an original teaser trailer back in Jan 2021. Some drama went down, whether funding or author disputes or Plague, who knows, but the BL never made it to full production. Then Be On Cloud (BOC) picked it up. They had money and backing (more on this later) and most of the original cast on board and their trailer came out March 2022. Fans mourned ice prince ponytailed coloured-sunglasses Kim from original trailer but in all other regards the BOC version of the show is immaculate.
The backstory…gossip version
Kinnporsche is basically fanfiction inception. The character of Kinn is based off real-life actor/mode/singer/millionaire/general hottie Mile Phakphum…who heard that a BL fanfic version of his life was being made and promptly auditioned for it. And then who should get cast as his love interest Porsche but a hot dude he met ten years ago (and has remembered ever since) called Apo Nattawin. Everything is going swimmingly from Mile’s point of view until Filmania version gets cancelled…and then BOC (who Mile is ✨unspecified✨ associated with) picks it up, and suddenly there’s a whole lot of funding to ensure that Mile and Apo get to act out their mafia love story with a limitless budget. You thinking I’m making this shit up? I am not. Here’s a more detailed and hilarious summary of the whole thing and also just some general fandom shrieking about it.
greatest thread ever thanks to @rythyme
Okay! That’s the fandom lore out of the way, onto the fun stuff. In no particular order:
The Inside Jokes
Deutschebank is watching
Fudge is the new Fuck. Special thanks to the iqiyi subtitle translators, who refused to let the characters swear. Even when they were swearing in English. Vegas baby, you tried.
“We’re all gonna get shadowbanned to hell” (later replaced with “pretty sure staff must be watching KP too”)
Bread. (No I will not elaborate. This one’s too good to spoil. Just know that bread is a main character in this show)
We’re stealing Tay’s gender
Housekeeping are not paid enough (spoilers for post ep 8)
Classic moments
The holy trinity of Kinnporsche thirst: dick, arse and tiddies
The famous dick twitch, captured and zoomed. Thanks @yeetlegay 😘
The peak arse moments. Thanks @moerusai 😘
The veritable smorgasbord of tiddies. Thanks Mo (again) 😘
The fandom going feral after the teaser of this beautiful tender moment between Kinn and Porsche…only to later find out that Porsche has got a handful of Kinn’s cock. No innocences remain after the airing of this show.
The fandom losing its mind every single week that we didn’t get the pool scene. It was made so much worse after Apo lied/teased/mocked us by saying it was gonna be in episode 8 and it wasn’t until episode 13. People were frothing at the mouth I tell you.
Which is probably responsible for why the pool scene gave us insane gems like this. Imma be counting the thrusts in every sex scene from now on.
Important moments
There was a pretty big conversation about jumper cable voltage at one point. You’ll know why when you get there. To summarise: no it wouldn’t have killed him if he was ~used to it~. Thanks @lutawolf for calling an electrician on behalf of the fandom.
There is a special place in the fandom’s heart for the mafia malewife era.
Mile has a big cock. It’s, er, come up several times. No not like that.
The moment that got us quivering – episode 7 ‘do you see this ring on my finger?!’
The fandom had a collective breakdown over episode 7 in general, but especially the knowledge that the cast watched it live in a cinema in Thailand with a bunch of fans. Please remember this for when you watch the final scene. Live. In a cinema. With other people sitting next to them.

Important fandom alerts
The fandom does not support whitewashing of Apo/Porsche
The fandom does not support Daemi, because of fairly strong evidence that the male half of the pair SH Mile at one point.
However the fandom does extremely support the KP production team, especially P’Pond (Director for the emotional *cough* sex *cough* scenes) and P’Joy (our cinematography goddess)
The fandom strongly recommends watching all the Behind The Scenes clips on youtube. Here’s the first one.
The fandom also strongly recommends developing a mild obsession with the theme song Freefall. Here’s some of the thematic versions for feels.
The fandom does not support any crazy-fan-tinhatting of Mileapo actually being in a relationship. Officially they are just good friends and we will respect that. But damn the boys don’t make it easy on us.
The fandom has discourse, because of course it does. But we try our best to be chill and respectful about other people’s thoughts and faves, even if we disagree. The exception is Tawan. Everyone hates that bitch.
Random jokes
Get along handcuffs
ChanBig ghost ship (that did or didn’t age well, depending on your interpretation)
Product placement. I’ve already mentioned the bread, but none of us will ever forget what they made Mile do with that cheese.
Tankhun is the only bitch in this house that we respect
Arm is the second bitch in this house that we respect
New for ep 14: Ms Erika is the third bitch in this house that we respect
The [redacted] got more of a funeral than [redacted] did
Personal faves and honourable mentions
Our fandom has a blessing like no other in the form of Nemi/luckydragon10, our fandom archivist. The meta for this show is insanely good and Nemi has collected all the best bits (a labour of love and also just, y’know, labour) here. I 100% recommend giving it a browse.
My personal fave gifset is this one right here, combining my two favourite things after ep.2
Just a lovely lovely video of KinnPorsche kissing (spoilers obvs)
And to round us off, a very special video that everyone should see at once in their lives – Apo doing the splits
Welcome to the fandom <3
j’avoue je maudis tout ceux qui s’aiment 🎻🥀
HELLO i wanted to leave these as tags but i need you to know that fashion designer Argenti modern au has changed the trajectory of my life and i want to bother you abt it so IMAGINE
just...argenti w messy hair and a pin cushion on his wrist and several pins in his mouth trying to figure out where the cutouts go. Maybe you spent the night in his studio because he's working way past his usual hours due to his current order being special and he just has to get everything right.
Imagine helping him out and making sure he doesn't exhaust himself, reminding him to take frequent breaks and sometimes even having to force him to lie down for a bit. oh and giving him snacks every time you visit !! He's too scared too eat them because it's a gift how could he :( so he keeps them in a small glass bowl on the counter. You're a little sad he doesn't eat them but occasionally a customer would ask if they could have one and it makes their day, so you really don't mind. And it makes you feel like you're more involved, sometimes the studio feels like your home just as much as it does to Argenti and you couldn't be happier.
Just domestic life w Designer Argenti...
ok byeee and THANK YOU
thank u for bothering me with this arghhh i adore domestic things he’d literally look so pretty with the pin cushion and eveything too oh my GOD imagine he has like a lil couch in his office but a lot of the time he also ends up there cus it’s too late to go back home ???? and the little snack bowl is so cute ughhhhhh ,,,,; i never imagined him as much of a workaholic idk why but i can totally see him working way past office hours to make each design the best for his client !! thank u for making me think about this more op
