#Chainsaw (Product Category)

[iridescentscarecrow]

something i find very interesting is how csm's worldbuilding containing [devilhood] & its consequent categories especially on axes of utilisation is tied into the gendered dynamics of part 2. & a character i find at the centre of this is barem, who seamlessly brings together the implications of part 1 with the narrative of part 2 during his few & yet highly impactful appearances.

i've talked about this in more detail earlier but re: how categorisation in part 1 operates, through framers like aki [the start of his revenge arc at many levels composed of the contours of toxic masculinity & its condensation into story trope]. the human/devil dichotomy drawn out is flawed & yet presented as popular narrative to simultaneously the public, to denji & to the audience.

i think large parts of this is of utmost relevance in how barem regards makima as an ideal. makima is a centre around which both [devilhood] & [gender] constructs itself. he idolises her & attributes the most harmful of his actions to the effects of her control. this happens alongside him reducing the fulfilment of her actual desires as embodied by nayuta's birth, desires otherwise obscured by narrative, to ashes.

it's interesting how he talks about his body being under makima's rule as part of this aforementioned attribution & then a few chapters later uses this same control to cast suspicion upon nayuta, effectively the control devil outside the structure of subjugation she was brought up in. personally the way i like to extrapolate this & understand it in my head is through calling him a Dead Wife: not the Wife, the original figure of the Woman (makima) but rather a perversion of it used to lend a direction to the male (MC). barem does this exercise by himself. there is no story device, no flashback, he evokes images of makima that he misinterprets onto his own body: how he carries out the effects of her actions [robbing denji of his family] without understanding what underlies it. its a distortion of her into story structure, aligning with the Disposable Woman archetype. the woman itself becomes less individuated as a character and is transformed into a Concept for the development of an MC.

i particularly enjoy talking about this [misogynistic] trope in the context of csm because i find fjmt is very interested by conceptualisation/production/fictionalisation within his own stories, and what barem does is an echo of that.

the misogyny here is especially obvious, i think, when comparing his ruminations on makima to eyepatch's dialogue about his wife. a similar lack of real understanding: we only receive her as a product of his narrative (one he literally gives to us) & the only disruption here, acknowledgement of issue, happens when he is torn apart by her chainsaw self. the Woman, forever iconised, suspected, obsessed over, subjugated is quite visible within these two strands of story, and i think this is something that this forms a major stem of p2.

concept & utlisation of concept & is something fujimoto already problematises in part 1 with how it initially sets up category & then brings forth the institutional violence faced by its agents (especially denji in his hybridhood). devilhood overlapping with misogyny is something already relevant when viewed wrt. makima but i think it's also significant how this extends to asa, who at parts takes over makima's dialogues in her interactions with denji.

barem's dismissal of her as "cute, dumb girl" in the earlier chapters & his comparison of her here & her lack of sadness creates a similar divide between the rest of the group & her, apart from drawing on aspects of the aquarium arc earlier [the detaching arm thing]. particularly, he compares her to devils: overwriting <sadness>, an emotion the audience is already aware she feels, similar to how he overwrote makima. it's particularly painful due to asa's own self restraints & internalised misogyny... how she is made absent from the narrative in this manner.

Chainsaw man charms with glitter epoxy! Going to have to make some videos so I can actually show the glitter on these 😅

In collaboration with @dandelionarcade

[lets-try-some-writing]

since you're reacting to stuff, i hope you don't mind reacting to ocs!

here's fogwing, a very,very old lady from earth, one of the few predacons that survived earth from megatron's mission in that regard she absoulty desipes megatron for abandoning her, and very much veiws predaking as a brat.

she very hefty and bulky, so she circumstantiate that with a fog like substance that she produces from her body to confuse the enemy, but this fag uses energon to make and is tiering for her and has rotating chainsaw like teeth for extra damage. but she's slow and her eyesight isn't the best.

fogwing is grumpy at best and doesn't see the conflict as very important, and sees that optimus should just kill megatron and get on with it.

surprisingly, she has a soft spot for sparklings and organics, and funnily enough, is very protective of starscream against megatron's bullshit, but keeps his pride and ego at bay.

she has babies but i haven't drawn them yet lol

she's bigger than predaking, he has mixed opinions about her

This is supposed to be a writing blog, but whatever, here we go. Reaction time.

First off, as writer myself, I can say Fogwing's backstory fits well enough. I don't have a ton of deep context so I can't say much else besides the fact that I can see her story being possible in the Transformers universe without disrupting the plot too much.

You've done an excellent job creating abilities for her. Often times oc's can end up being too overpowered by accident or too needy. Fogwing seems to not fall into either of these categories thankfully based upon what information you have given me. Her skills are evened out by weaknesses, like her fog production using energon and her sight being poor despite her size. All very good weaknesses to even out her strengths.

Her personality doesn't have any notable issues at first glance (writing wise that is). I can see why her personality is the way it is and I like it. Her care for sparklings and organics is a nice touch and her somewhat random attention to Starscream is a fun addition to her personality. I quite like her views on Predaking, even if he is technically her ruler. Overall, a good personality for the character type you seem to have gone for.

Her character design is also fantastic. I love the art! Gorgeous really! At the moment I have no real criticism for this oc. She makes sense and I see nothing that could point towards her presence in TFP being detrimental to the plot overall.

Good work!

hello world :)))

studyblr (re)introduction.

i used to lurk in the shadows as an inactive studyblr account but now that i'm a university student i want to team up and make friends :D

about me

i'm aleixandre, i use she/her pronouns and i'm studying robotic engineering. i'm only on my first year so there's a lot i have yet to learn !!

my degree involves chemistry, physics, a lot of maths and programming, for now.

i'm from spain, so i speak spanish as well. i'm not interested in the language side of the community but if anyone wants to chat in spanish i'm open to it. also, if i make any mistakes in english i blame it on not being a native speaker lol.

what do i plan to use this account for?

i'm looking for people in the stem community so we can complain about how our degree is so so hard together :) and also to see how is it like to study engineering at other places/countries.

i'll post cute pictures from time to time, but i'm not all that focused on aesthetics. i'm messy at heart but i like toying with image edition :)

i like poetry and essays too, so i'll share quotes/articles about learning and academia that i find around.

lastly, i'd like to take part in productivity challenges and other commmunity activities, if only to connect with more people :D. i study a lot anyways so i might as well share it with the rest of the class !!

misc

i listen to a lot of music and i like making connections/web weaving !! some of my favourites are

° argentinian urban music (which doesn't feel like most people in the studyblr community are into, but it's like. really mainstream stuff lol),

° kpop groups such as itzy (the girl in my profile picture is ryujin!) , xdinary heroes, stray kids, [g]idle or nmixx.

°sad girl classics, aha, like fiona apple and mitski

° and... a lot i don't feel like individually mentioning but can't sort into categories either. they will come up in my blog though :))

i also watch anime sporadically. i'm currently obsessed obsessed obsessed with chainsaw man !!!

i was told i should be more participative in class so i'll try my best to put myself out there too. people usually tag people here but the blogs i used to follow (main is @originz, i follow from there btw) are mostly dead so if anyone from the stemblr community wants to be buddies it'd be great ?? if you read till the end you get my gratitude <3

see you around!

Idk if you particularly care about the Crunchyroll Anime Awards but voting opened yesterday (https://www.crunchyroll.com/animeawards/vote) and the nominees for some of the awards are so confusing.

With the amount of cool anime that came out last year I’m confused on why there’s a lack of diversity in the options. Look, I loved JJK S2, but why is it in nearly every category 😭. I’m also reluctant to let MAPPA get any kind of a win due the horrid scheduling conditions the animators were put under.

It just feels like the people that were deciding the nominees were like “Oh yeah CSM, Oshi no Ko, and Demon Slayer were pretty popular, just throw it in there!” Also didn’t the CSM anime come out and end in 2022, why is it here?

Also as a Hells Paradise manga fan, I’m confused on why the anime adaptation is even anywhere NEAR these awards. Best opening I understand, but it was a show that clearly suffered from MAPPA overwork and then taking on too many IPs. It’s just clogging up nominee spaces at this point.

Yo, I forgot that it's time for that Anime Award thing again! I remembered the Game Awards but not this, damn. SHould we vote too?

Oh yea, 2023 was such a banger.

I kinda expected JJK S2 to show up in a lot of categories, especially since I think for a lot of them, it does seem rather deserving to be there... even if it takes away the votes for other work. I think about it this way: is it fair to deny someone from being a candidate in a race even though they qualify, just because they are very popular? For now, I lean negative to this.

Of course! Deserving or not is a matter of subjective taste! To that, I am happy to concede, haha!

That said, since the Anime Award is a popularity award, I think voters like us should try to balance out the votes cast for JJK to mitigate the possible expense of other deserving anime.

I don't remember if Crunchyroll would show the percentage of votes for transparency purposes when the voting closes, but I think it's useful to do that. If JJK wins, we know it's because of its meteoric popularity, not because its competitors suck. Then we can see how, despite the competition, some anime managed to score a pretty startling number of votes.

I think focusing on the statistics cuts straight to the heart of acknowledgment and appreciation of an art form, even if it lacks the glory of actually winning the first prize. But hey, it's low-stakes stuff in the end. It ain't the general or presidential election, innit? 😂

If only we could do rank-choice voting...

---

I also do not understand why Chainsaw Man is here. I also thought it would not be counted because it was from last-last year.

I kinda think Oshi no Ko deserves to be around, though!

Demon Slayer... has been like a goddamn mainstay for years now, jesus. I'm gonna refrain from opining about it precisely because I don't enjoy Demon Slayer, so anything I say may be inseparable from this personal bias against the work, ahahhaha!

---

MAPPA taking so many projects shows another issue now that you mentioned it: it's taking up a lotta places with different projects too! If you don't want MAPPA to win, because you want to punish them for the way they treated their animators, your choices will become so much more limited. It's not a full-blown MAPPAのpoly yet, but there is a nascent emergence of it. Brrrrr.

Just taking up so many of the candidacies—via their surplus products—increases the probability of MAPPA emerging as the shadow victor no matter what anime won. Well, well, well. Slick move, MAPPA.

Anyway, I'm spitballing here, but...

I kinda think that it's high time awards minimize the brand of the studio and start amplifying the names of certain teams contributing to the art, like... the lead animators and the director. Ya know, "Director X and Their Team" instead of "MAPPA studio."

And award categories should really expand beyond genre or whatever the host makes up. Some of their categories even seem meaningless to me, like "best continuing series." What's there to celebrate about a long-running series? Why can't a series just compete with other series, regardless of how long it ran, as long as it's within that year?

Instead, wouldn't it be better if we create categories for "best animator" or "best scene" or, hey! There's an existing one! "Best Art Direction!" But instead of letting "Anime X, Studio Y" be the rep, we actually credit the name of the lead animators et al., and then the actual scene within the anime itself?

That way, even a show with fewer fans could still get recognized for that show's sick artistic achievements (if applicable), and the people behind it are at the forefront of said recognition. While we as fans can still shower credits to a big-production show—since it's got a lot of really good stuff—with minimal "accidental plaudits" to terrible studio execs.

I kinda... just think that if award shows are meant to celebrate and acknowledge the medium of anime, why not really cut to the heart of it?

Who are we celebrating for achievements, and for what?

---

I did not read Hell's Paradise as a manga, hee hee. Don't jump on me!

So, with nothing to compare, I liked the anime enough. I'm actually not bespoke about sakuga and composition and whatnot; I'm as unsophisticated as they come, ahahah! I love the monsters and the flowers and stuff!

I love the story and the philosophical mix between Buddhism and Daoism. It's so rad. I also really admire Sagirin! And I like Gabimaru too.

All these alone actually make me like the anime /scratches head

...Yea I'm shallow like that! HAHAHAHHAHAHA!

PLUTO WHERE YOU AT LEMME LAVISH YOU WITH VOTES YOU BETTER BE IN THERE

Oh, the length of this reply qualifies so...

Thank you for reading my ramble!

Who cares about the Oscars? The most celebrated awards of the year are, of course, the Pink Bette awards!

The Pink Bettes are my own version of my film awards. I originally did this as a silly joke in 2020 for the films I had seen in 2019, so this is the fourth itineration of them. (2019's films, 2020's films, 2021's films, and now 2022's films.) Last year, I kinda just dropped the post and ran because I was feeling down about things, but I'm going to be pushing this one. (Sorry in advance.)

The rules are these: Any film that was new-to-me in 2022 is eligible for an award. Thus, Bound, a 1996 film, is eligible for these awards even though it is decades old; it's about when I saw them. I typically choose 5-6 "winners" to be designated My Favourite _____. This is done because choosing just one is silly when I can spread the love around; additionally, I call them "My Favourite" because it's about my emotional response to them, and honestly I would feel egotistical calling something the definitive BEST.

Anyway, here we go:

Some categories will have a little summary or write-up; others won't. There's only so many adjectives I can use to describe stuff, yknow?

For better or worse, these line readings gripped us. These all became meme-ified, in some way, between me and Mack.

"These are tortillas! Tortillas deliciosas!" - Hong Chau, The Menu. (Honorary mention to "You'll eat less than you desire and more than you deserve"—not a funny memed phrase, but the delivery. Chilling.)

"anD eNOUgh chamPAYNE... tFILL thNILE! *throws drink*" - Gal Gadot, Death on the Nile

The Trish Story - Kristen Wiig, Annie Mumolo, Barb & Star Go To Vista Del Mar

"Are you the LESBIAN?" - Idina Menzel, Kissing Jessica Stein

"He died?! *hand on heart*" - Tovah Feldshuh, Kissing Jessica Stein

All of these disappointed in some measure. Shame, shame, shame!

Netflix's Texas Chainsaw Massacre - The original TCM is one of the few horror movies to actually really get to me, with that ending being particularly nauseating. This new Netflix entry is a cheap and lazy attempt at continuing a franchise.

The Evil Dead, The Evil Dead 2 - The first time I encountered The Evil Dead as a property, it was in a college production of the musical The Evil Dead. The musical is, surprisingly, the best packaging of this property. These two, largely the same story but with a bigger budget the second time around, both completely fail to live up to the fun of the musical.

Men - I thought, after X and Pearl, I would like A24 horror more. Ha.

Bros - Enough has been said about this one, I think. Aside from a few jokes ("Like the bearded lady in The Greatest Showman, this is me."), I just didn't really find it funny.

Memoirs of an Invisible Man - John Carpenter, why the fuck is there a brownface scene in this one? You can do so much better than that, John.

The opposite of the previous category: These movies impressed me much more than they had any right to!

Marry Me - Featuring former musical theatre tumblrite Mason! For all of two seconds! Anyway this is so much fun and the title song is lowkey a jam.

The Lost City - Okay, aside from the fun of Sandra Bullock, seeing Channging Tatum's ass HUGE on a screen just... yeah. Yeah.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding - Okay, so, I used to think this one was like... a frat bro thing? I saw Greek and was like Greek life? But no, it's just Greek Greek.

The Batman - Here for the sole reason that it's a superhero movie that I came out mostly positive on.

Drive - Maybe I was just horny for Ryan Gosling. Who knows?

These four are 2022 releases that sort of came and went in theatres. I think they deserved better!

Three Thousand Years of Longing - Really, I just love Tilda so much. This is a modernistic version of the Thousand and One Nights with a clearly neurodivergent character at the front who finds romance. And it's so neat!

Umma - Sandra Oh in a horror movie. What more could you want?

Mrs Harris Goes To Paris - It's nicecore but it's still so lovely. When you think she won't get the dress is CRUSHING.

See How They Run - Saoirse Ronan in an Agatha Christie send-up comedy. Of course it's delightful! Though, at our screening, we had a gaggle of teens sitting across the auditorium, and they were being so loud and so obnoxious, and usually I am fine to let the youth be the youth, but girls... my blood boiled that day. I was ready to tear someone apart! Thankfully they left soon after.

Oh boy, here's where the graphic design is not my passion comes out. Anyhow. Supporting Performances. There are nine that I've picked out, with some honorable mentions:

Ke Huy Quan, EEAAO - He is so lovely and so wonderful and he deserves every single good thing that is happening to him right now.

Jamie Lee Curtis, EEAAO - My mother finally got an Oscar nom! I'm so happy for her. Deirdre is so ridiculous, and Jamie really commits to the insanity.

Stephanie Hsu, EEAAO - She is going THROUGH it in EEAAO. I almost put her in lead, but since she literally got a Supporting Oscar nom, I guess she can fit here.

Brandon Parea, Nope - Five stars, Angel, five stars.

Justin Long, Barbarian - When will he call me the f-slur? He's an ass but he made it look fun.

Billie Lourd, Ticket to Paradise - She has like one vibe across most of her performances, but she does it so extremely well.

Hong Chau, The Menu - Hong Chau, my beloved. I have only known her for two months, but she has completely gotten me in her grip.

Candice Bergen, Let Them All Talk - I don't actually have anything witty to say about her. She just Did Well in this one.

Hong Chau, The Whale - The moment where she realises he had the money the whole time and cracks? Ugh. Performance!

Honorable mentions: Tyne Daly, Hello My Name Is Doris; Tovah Feldshuh, Kissing Jessica Stein; Paul Dano, Little Miss Sunshine; Bill Skarsgard, Barbarian (RIP Sweet Little Meow Meow).

This is fairly self-explanatory.

Michelle Yeoh, EEAAO - "You can either lay there or you can come with me and change the multiverse." "I'll just lay here!" I used the opera picture because that's my favourite Lewk for her, but she's just so amazing all around. In all forms!

Sally Field, Hello My Name Is Doris - What really gets me with this one is when her therapist tries to clean up her house and she has a full break down. The way she speaks those lines just really hits.

Frances McDormand, Burn After Reading - God forbid women do anything. She's totally insane in this and is a complete wrecking ball. I love it!

Mia Goth, Pearl - That end credits face journey alone is worth a thousand awards. Just captivating!

Jennifer Tilly & Gina Gershon, Bound - Genders, genders all around. Of course the Wachowskis would make something so cool and sleek, and these two are the perfect ones to realise that vision.

Austin Butler, Elvis - Tom Hanks had a very "what the hell is this" performance, but really, the transformation for Austin Butler in this is super impressive. I am not immune to biopics!

Jenny Slate, Marcel The Shell With Shoes On - He Is Just A Little Boy and I love him.

Keke Palmer, Nope - Release the spin cut! (She has a spin in the trailer during her spiel at the beginning, and it's cut in the movie. That would have gotten her the Oscar nom, I'm sure.)

Kristen Wiig, Barb & Star Go To Vista Del Mar - The way this movie just radiates the energy of our friendship, I can't. Kristen gets the leg up on her co-star because she double dips on roles and I think I prefer her delivery.

Thandiwe Newton, God's Country - So, we saw God's Country on a whim because Mack liked the lead actress. And I totally get it. She's so strong and so unyielding in the face of those nutcases in this, and, though I know nothing about her and heard nothing about the film otherwise, she has stayed with me.

Cate Blanchett, Tár - That first long shot, where she's just talking as the camera is rolling? Electrifying. She had us hooked from moment one.

Ralph Fiennes, The Menu - Yes, Chef! We love you, Chef!

Honorable mentions: Jessica Chastain, The Eyes of Tammy Faye; Matt Damon, The Talented Mr Ripley; Emma Thompson, The Remainds of the Day.

Oh, good, we're back to reasonable category sizes. Anyway, though I am a horror queen, I feel as though the films I loved most in 2022 were not horror! But there were a few that rose to the top.

Scream 5 - It's Scream. It's good! "Trap? Yeah, it's a trap." Such a simple exchange, but it's my favourite moment in that one. I'm so excited for 6!

Pearl - Sorry, Paris. But I loved this. It's mostly a character study for a horror movie character until the final act, and what a final act it is! "I'm a star!" and the end credits face journey are just such great moments.

Nope - I liked it better than Us! But really, Jordan Peele is just consistently so good at writing horror.

City of the Dead - The way this is a dark horse pick for me. It just hits that spooky foggy creepy Halloween aesthetic that I love so much! And it's got great performances and a decent enough story. Plus, the Elvira inserts are fun!

Barbarian - This happened to a friend once, I think.

The Menu - Truly my favourite movie of 2022, coming in right at the end of the year. The mix between the comedy and the horror, the social jokes, Hong Chau... it's perfection to me.

Honorable mentions: Let The Right One In, Watcher, The Autopsy of Jane Doe.

Dramatique! To some extent or another; I don't think Before Sunrise counts as a comedy or a horror, so it kind of falls here even though it's just a romance.

Dramarama - This one hits me so hard that it hurts. A group of high school graduates, all very into theatre, have one last murder mystery party as a group, before they split up. And it's just so... if you weren't in theatre in high school, you won't get it, but if you were, this hurts.

EEAAO - Do I need to explain.

Bound - As explained above!

The Talented Mr Ripley - The schemes! The intrigue! The homoeroticism! I love it!

Before Sunrise - A tender, sweet romance in Vienna. All of one night, with the lovely Ethan Hawke, just wandering a sleepy city at night.

Tár - Captivating, electric, a modern tragedy of hubris. For me, Best Picture needs to be between EEAAO and Tár. There is nothing else. Honorable mentions: Pride & Prejudice, In The Mood For Love, The Remains of the Day.

2022 was all about comedy for me. There were so many just perfect comedies that we saw this year that it's hard to pick a handful to show off. Barb & Star is Mack and me spiritually, which means it is Beloved here, but all of these I look on so fondly.

Hello, My Name Is Doris - A old Sally Field tries to find love with a much younger man. She's very awkward, almost too much to watch at points, but she's soooo good.

Kissing Jessica Stein - We love people questioning their identity and then deciding if it works out for them or not! It's a fun time.

Burn After Reading - The relentless absurdity just kills me. The hair, the drôle situtations, it's all just SO much of a ride.

Little Miss Sunshine - That little girl deserved to win that pageant.

Barb & Star Go To Vista Del Mar - Again, this is just our friendship. It's so stupid, but I treasure these two ladies.

Glass Onion - "Did you think a sweatshop was a place where they manufactured sweatpants?" "Yeah..."

Honorable mentions: The Lost City, The Bob's Burgers Movie, Marcel the Shell with Shoes On

But anyway. That's enough of the respectable awards. Let's have some fun.

We come to this place to celebrate men in film being hot, sexy, and/or slutty. Here are just some of the men that, ahem, piqued my interest. They are, of course, named after only the most beautiful man to have graced cinéma, Mr Keanu Reeves himself.

I'm doing these individually in case tumblr decides it doesn't like something :s (Also.... you've seen my graphic design skills.)

Dylan Minnette's shower scene in Scream 5. Not even a hint of ass! Cowards.

Nico Greetham in Dramarama just casually showing his chest around.

Girls...... seeing Channing Tatum's ass, huge, on a screen during The Lost City in a theatre. That was a MOMENT.

Félix Lefebvre in Summer of 85. We love blond French boys, huh.

Seeing THAT swinging on Kid Cudi in X...... You all know I'm an ass queen, but come onnnn.

When will Ryan Gosling Drive me around town? Huh? Don't I deserve that?

The cast of Fire Island as a whole. Or as a hole. Either way.

Speaking of beach boys, can we talk about the fuzz on Jude Law in The Talented Mr Ripley?

Ethan Hawke in Before Sunrise in such a simple look can be so hot. He's so sweet and tender and just lovely.

And then we have the duality of Ethan Hawke:

My commentary here will be reposting some letterboxd reviews of The Black Phone:

Thomas Doherty in The Invitation can turn me into a vampire if he wants, idc, I'd throw it all away. That woman was WILD to just turn that down so quickly!

And finally, Mr Thousand Shades of Grey himself, Jamie Dornan in Barb & Star. He's actually done a nude photoshoot but uh. I'll keep that one to myself.

Anyhow. If you made it this far, thank you for reading through the Pink Bettes! I'll be here again next year!

The history of horror movie titles is actually a really great microcosm of how horror has tried to present itself. Observe this greatly simplified discussion:

1900-1950: Not very many movies exist yet, comparatively. Horror has yet to explode as a genre the way it would later. Films are mostly named simple and generic words that weren't taken yet, i.e. "The Black Cat", "The Phantom."

1950-1970: Horror is primarily treated as a sort of cheaply made, drive-in experience for kids. Films play into the gaudiness factor and the titles match. Examples are "Attack of the Giant Leeches," "The Thing from Another World," and "The Brain That Wouldn't Die."

1965-1990: Yes there's some overlap here. Films start either heading towards high production, artsy movies with simple titles ("Don't Look Now," "The Exorcist," "Suspiria") or go fully in the opposite direction and try to advertise how over-the-top violent or fucked up they are. Examples in that category are things like "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and "The Town That Dreaded Sundown," though the practice of long titles was dwindling through the 80s.

1990-present: Horror re-establishes itself as a genre to be taken seriously. One and two word titles become increasingly predominant. Long, verbose titles are associated with the old school tackiness and minimal scares, so they are avoided by most. Mononyms carry a weight to them that can function as a sign that This Movie Is Serious And Intense, which plays into the current concept of "elevated horror."

Outdoor Power Equipment Market Size, Share, Research and Competitive Landscape 2030

The global outdoor power equipment market was valued at USD 46.53 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach USD 76.61 billion by 2030, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9% from 2022 to 2030. This growth can be attributed to the rising demand for cordless outdoor power equipment, driven by consumers seeking greater flexibility and portability in their tools. In response to this demand, many companies have been introducing technological advancements in outdoor power equipment. For instance, in February 2020, Robert Bosch GmbH launched two autonomous lawn mowers, the Indego M 700 and Indego M+ 700. These models feature 18 V lithium batteries and brushless DC motors, designed to maintain medium-sized gardens of up to 700 square meters on a single charge, offering enhanced convenience and efficiency.

Several factors are expected to fuel the growth of the outdoor power equipment market, including increasing urbanization, higher disposable incomes, and growing infrastructure development. As a result, there has been a rising demand for landscaping services, further driving the market. Additionally, growing environmental awareness is pushing consumers toward eco-friendlier options, particularly outdoor power equipment that runs on lithium-ion batteries. These batteries are environmentally friendly and maximize energy efficiency, making them an attractive choice for consumers. Companies are continuously innovating in the area of lithium-ion batteries. For example, Techtronic Industries introduced red lithium-ion batteries for its cordless power tools in 2021, which offer faster performance and extended battery life, enhancing overall equipment efficiency.

Gather more insights about the market drivers, restrains and growth of the Outdoor Power Equipment Market

Another trend contributing to the market's growth is the increasing popularity of gardening, particularly among younger generations. Many young people are turning toward growing their own vegetables, fruits, and herbs, often in smaller spaces. As a result, the gardening and lawn care industry is adapting by creating equipment that is lighter and more compact, making it easier to use in smaller yard areas. This shift reflects the evolving preferences of consumers who seek comfort, convenience, and efficiency in their gardening tools.

Power Source Segmentation Insights:

The outdoor power equipment market is segmented based on power sources into three categories: gasoline, battery, and electric corded. In 2021, the gasoline-powered segment held the largest market share, accounting for 56.8%. However, demand for gasoline-powered equipment is expected to decline over time due to concerns about gas fumes, noise pollution, and the negative environmental impact of these machines. To address these issues, several government regulations have been introduced to limit the use of gasoline-powered outdoor equipment. For example, California is set to implement laws as early as 2024 banning gas-powered chainsaws, lawnmowers, and leaf blowers in an effort to reduce environmental harm.

On the other hand, the battery-powered equipment segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 6.9% during the forecast period. The expansion of battery-powered equipment is due to several advantages over gasoline-powered alternatives, including lower shipping costs, lighter weight, and increased affordability when purchased online. Additionally, many online retailers are adjusting their inventories to comply with new government regulations by offering more electric outdoor power equipment. As these regulations encourage the development of environmentally friendly products, battery-powered outdoor equipment is likely to gain further market traction.

Overall, the global outdoor power equipment market is experiencing significant growth, driven by technological innovations, a shift toward more sustainable power sources, and evolving consumer preferences. Companies are increasingly focusing on developing lightweight, energy-efficient, and environmentally friendly equipment to meet the changing demands of modern consumers.

Outdoor Power Equipment Market Forecast to 2030 by Recent Trends and Regional Growth Overview

The global outdoor power equipment market was valued at USD 46.53 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach USD 76.61 billion by 2030, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9% from 2022 to 2030. This growth can be attributed to the rising demand for cordless outdoor power equipment, driven by consumers seeking greater flexibility and portability in their tools. In response to this demand, many companies have been introducing technological advancements in outdoor power equipment. For instance, in February 2020, Robert Bosch GmbH launched two autonomous lawn mowers, the Indego M 700 and Indego M+ 700. These models feature 18 V lithium batteries and brushless DC motors, designed to maintain medium-sized gardens of up to 700 square meters on a single charge, offering enhanced convenience and efficiency.

Several factors are expected to fuel the growth of the outdoor power equipment market, including increasing urbanization, higher disposable incomes, and growing infrastructure development. As a result, there has been a rising demand for landscaping services, further driving the market. Additionally, growing environmental awareness is pushing consumers toward eco-friendlier options, particularly outdoor power equipment that runs on lithium-ion batteries. These batteries are environmentally friendly and maximize energy efficiency, making them an attractive choice for consumers. Companies are continuously innovating in the area of lithium-ion batteries. For example, Techtronic Industries introduced red lithium-ion batteries for its cordless power tools in 2021, which offer faster performance and extended battery life, enhancing overall equipment efficiency.

Another trend contributing to the market's growth is the increasing popularity of gardening, particularly among younger generations. Many young people are turning toward growing their own vegetables, fruits, and herbs, often in smaller spaces. As a result, the gardening and lawn care industry is adapting by creating equipment that is lighter and more compact, making it easier to use in smaller yard areas. This shift reflects the evolving preferences of consumers who seek comfort, convenience, and efficiency in their gardening tools.

Power Source Segmentation Insights:

The outdoor power equipment market is segmented based on power sources into three categories: gasoline, battery, and electric corded. In 2021, the gasoline-powered segment held the largest market share, accounting for 56.8%. However, demand for gasoline-powered equipment is expected to decline over time due to concerns about gas fumes, noise pollution, and the negative environmental impact of these machines. To address these issues, several government regulations have been introduced to limit the use of gasoline-powered outdoor equipment. For example, California is set to implement laws as early as 2024 banning gas-powered chainsaws, lawnmowers, and leaf blowers in an effort to reduce environmental harm.

On the other hand, the battery-powered equipment segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 6.9% during the forecast period. The expansion of battery-powered equipment is due to several advantages over gasoline-powered alternatives, including lower shipping costs, lighter weight, and increased affordability when purchased online. Additionally, many online retailers are adjusting their inventories to comply with new government regulations by offering more electric outdoor power equipment. As these regulations encourage the development of environmentally friendly products, battery-powered outdoor equipment is likely to gain further market traction.

trying hard to transcribe some very odd replies about barem from twt half of it is a joke but half of it is. important because i feel like. it's reaching somewhere. please shake me and ask me what's wrong i'd love to know myself! but anyway:

i am too out of it to offer any level of coherent thought about this chapter but who's the big tiddy milf with the irrepressibly cunty bone deep exhaustion in part 2 and why is it barem?

in an alternate world barem could be a good Dead Wife. please see my vision. barem is filed under both Bogeyman and Dead Wife in my brain and actually they're the same folder if you think about it. i could see him sprawling in a sunny field somewhere. uncanny valley grin fit for a Memory of some sort.

i think it's the irreconcilability of the dead wife with the rest of the plot, its carrying Meaning..... and barem, too. you burn away what the control devil always wanted and now has for the sake of what you think the control devil Means.

makima's dogs and the bloody birthed product of her search for intimacy -> nayuta and denji's relationship. and barem burns that away for HER? your heart belongs to and negates hers!

you transpose that chainsaw man fandom onto yourself but what do you want, really? your body under her control,,, actors and enactors blurring. the way denji and barem's hearts belong to makima and yet they see her in different ways, caught in different webs.

ummmm words that are just shapes in my brain. im experimenting with the category of dead wife to describe a thing. a. a barem. a persistent and futile ghost who drains the story's events into a nostalgia ridden horror. a ghost who contradicts and directs and fulfills... he's strangling nayuta and declaring his love for makima in the same breath. what's wrong with him!!! is he stupid??!

My own character headcanons of BOY THESE CHARACTERS NEED GODDAMN THEARPY Part 1

I was inspired by a post and at first I was going to do a reblog but it was getting REALLY long

Guardian: In the timelines where he kills three people. *I'm not fully sure if Dipsy counts* Shadow doesn't stop tormenting him about it *Shadow my bro I know you're angry that the banana you adopted was killed by Guardian but that's not a good reason to heavily bully Guardian* and lets four shadow versions of the four to torment him further and I don't know if him being one of the products of his parents in the White Coat's captive breeding program counts-

Po: In my AUs Guardian damaged her antenna and so it effected her brain since the antenna is connected to the skull and the brain is in the skull. So if she got cured in those AUs where Guardian does that, it can't reverse the effect it had on her brain. I have two categories where Po gets hung and where she hangs herself. The second sounds a bit more scary to me because the infection is making her do that, imagine losing that amount of control over your body and cannot stop yourself from killing yourself. And she's usually 13 in my AUs. Her father stepped out of the picture, not wanting to do anything with Naa-Naa after Po was seemingly born with any kind of fear gene nor common sense.

Laa-Laa: Oh WhERE do we begin, is tormented by the shadow versions of her friends *luckily when Shadow checks how Laa-Laa is doing because he's not a helicopter father figure, he shoos them away* her best friend is killed by her normally very nice friend, she has the misfortune of meeting Guardian, barely survived when she ran into a monster, finds out her every move was being watched. And can get killed by the same guy with a rock. *I must remind you Guardian doesn't have much muscle strength so realistically he would have to hit her repeatedly with the rock and she would see who killed her* And other times gets killed by the only guy that seemed to genuinely care about her feelings. And gets trapped under a pillar and either is stuck there or gets killed by a rock again. Laa-Laa isn't having a fun time. Forgot to mention the events before her life as a test subject, *her biological father sold her and her siblings out to the government without telling her mother* when the White Coats came to take them away for the experiment, she tried to fight them with a sharp weapon but of course what is a 7 year old girl gonna do against grown men?

Tinky Winky: He had no control over his body and could only watch as he killed his friends. He has foggy memories of seeing his mom's dead body but her face is always blurry and of course he doesn't remember having a mom nor remember that Noo-Noo is his dad. He had a good family life before Luna and her parents were killed. He has to face the horror of his dad starting this whole mess and how controlling Noo-Noo is.

Dipsy: Uh he gets strangled by Tinky Winky and it's like "Is this because of the sexual advances, okay I'll stop, just let go of my neck, only Laa-Laa is allowed to give me near death experiences" And his leg gets burnt by the laser. And I wanted him to have more trauma so I had Guardian dig the chainsaw into his leg to make sure Dipsy wouldn't try to get up and chase him down. Oh wait Dipsy is also a product of the breeding program except that his mother was just forcibly impregnated with a sample of Rep DNA.

Dutch: My boy very upset at his whole family deciding to give up on Finn, so he did his very best to try to get him the treatment he needed and to take care of them both. He stole some money from his dad's safe until he found out and kicked him in the stomach, cracking his screen a bit. He also has some scars from the abuse. So it's a bit of child forced to grow up fast situation. And then has to deal with the whole his brother being dead and in timelines where he escapes being killed by Richard, he's blaming the whole situation on Richard because he believes he left Finn to die. 'I was supposed to trust that every time you two were on a mission together, you would always bring him back alive'. And there's the whole break up arc where Miles refuses to believe Richard tried to kill Dutch and it makes Dutch even more angry. Honestly my Dutch wouldn't really be upset about being killed by Richard because I must put extra emphasis when I say that Finn was Dutch's reason to live and get up everyday and now Finn is dead. I forgot to mention Dutch wears a 'mask' to the world. The mask of outgoing, flirty behavior and egoist behavior. But usually only lets down his mask around Finn. He hasn't put it down for Miles yet, he's worried that Miles loves the mask he puts up and wouldn't love the real him.

Finn: This freaky weirdo had compilations in his birth which is why he's younger than Dutch. (This is my worldbuilding and I don't care if that's accurate or not) He needed treatment for his weak body but when his parents realized Finn couldn't recover without it, they decided they rather let him die. The oldest brother constantly misgenders him. I think he finally got the treatment (thanks to Dutch's efforts and Ninja's parents) when he was 7 maybe? But he basically needed a lot of help walking. I need you to understand that he was younger that every movement hurt so he didn't bother doing anything that hurt. So he had to be taught to do things he didn't bother trying to do when he was younger. Like walking. But he recovered and now can kick harder than anyone on the planet. But then I made him get blackmailed by the General. This mf controlled this 18 year old with "I have the power to control what ranks anyone you're associated with has, so give me oral sex and they will rise higher rather than lower" While Finn usually shares all of his problems with his brother, he's truly scared if Dutch finds out, he'll think he's a whore and disown him. Dutch is basically the only family he has. He doesn't want to ruin Dutch's reptation with this problem.
