Im the anon who said they started following for your liveblogs. I want to hear YOUR thoughts on the show, including negativity for the animation. If i wanted neutrality on the animation,i would listen to myself. hell I ADORE epithet erased and thats just papercut figures. If i wanted endless positivity for season 5, i follow lots of people for that. Really want your uncut thoughts (your choice in the end, just putting my hat in the ring)

I’m holding your hat in my arms actually

As much as I think this is a brilliant idea to liveblog and would absolutely love to do it, I have unfortunately already seen Epithet Erased. I remember watching it since Dec 2019. I’ve watched it so many times on repeat that I mentally watch all 7 episodes. I manage to get a Giovanni Plush when they were on sale. This was a Pandemic Comfort Show for me and my sister when 2020 happened. I absolutely recommend this show every chance I get because it is incredible and amazing and everyone should watch it.

So yeah, sorry about not liveblogging it, but here’s some of my opinions about the show:

Ramsey Murdoch is my favorite character, I have a preference for rat bastard con men

I actually really disliked Giovanni when he first appeared. I thought he was just annoying Team Rocket. It took me to his and Molly’s heart-to-heart before I turned. Now he’s tied for Second fav

My sister’s most hated line in the series is “Why does your knife have a bat taped to it” which makes me laugh

I have never NOT quoted Indus whenever we go see dinosaur anything

In fact, we use a lot of quotes from this show all the time. “They Tried their Bargain Bin Best” “EVIL! Evil! Evil! Evil! Evil!” “Let me do my goddamned job”

Indus is also Second Fav. You can’t argue with stupid or himbo, and my man has both. He’s just way too earnest to hate even a little bit

Coupon Boy has top tier epithet power just for the sheer audacity of it being an actual decent power while being stupid as fuck

Ramsey’s line “Am I having an aneurysm what is happening” almost broke me which was bad because I was working at my old job when I first watched the series, so I had to really try not to laugh by my coworkers

I’ve nicknamed the mystery Red Robe dude at the end of the series Barry Bluejeans because why not, TAZ lives in my head rent free

Not sure what Epithet I would have if I pick one, but I would definitely rather it be more Creative than anything. I like being versatile and clever overall. 

I love figuring out powers based on single words, because it makes it my mission to come up with as many abilities as I can for it lol

Redwood Run is my favorite part, since it has all the coolest characters interacting with one another and the best action scenes (Zora, Howie, Percy, Ramsey, Giovanni)

I got a headcanon that the Epithet Erased world is either A) how things started out when Quirks first appeared like in MHA or B) the American version of how we would have treated Quirks

I have a whole ass thing on detailing the power-structure of Quirks vs Epithets vs Devil Fruits (If I can find the time to actually write it lol)

Absolutely feel free to shout at me about anything Epithet Erased related because I love this show with all my heart and will Absolutely chat your ear off of things

An Unbearable Situation Turns Taurrible!

Epithet Erased Episode 2

Molly and Giovanni have a heartwarming evil bonding moment against adversity! But Doctor Dream here isn’t letting up!

Gio, what is that face.

... How can you use that again when no one is drowsy? Do you just need to hit them once with a sheep and you’re good to spam it over and over?

YOU FIEND! TURNING THEIR COMRADES AGAINST THEM?!

Please! Come to your senses! Remember all the fun times you shared with Molly and GioGio!

How dare you use bears to bring harm to Bear Trap herself! Though, it seems like he’s still using Molly’s fears here...

Dang! The military promotion point system fails yet another competent soldier!

Yes! Knit them more bandanas! It must work!

Alright, I know Sylvester is being a terrible horrible no-good child, but this is no Greek myth so blinding him just might be a bit much.

Would that do anything? Can Molly make it so that it would Dumb him if it hits?

Well, now that you���ve said it like that... Yes.

Come on Sylvie! Haven’t you heard of the phrase, 'Teamwork makes the dream work’?

I can’t believe what I’m seeing. I know I said something similar to this earlier, but I just was not expecting it to actually be used, and in such a silly fashion... I love it.

...I’m making the same face Gio...

Get this child some self-confidence, and therapy...

Honestly Gio, right now, you are!

Giovanni is a man of many talents; Villainy, Soup-making, Signing adoption papers, Teleporting and Baseball!

He swings!

He hits!

And a homerun!

...Because balls of yarn don’t make good projectile weapons?

If psychologically tormenting a child is you being “nice”, than what is you being mean?! I have a feeling he’s gonna soon transform, he’s kinda got that primal stance goin’ on...

Or maybe not? What could his ultimate attack be? Manifesting his own dreams?

Must... resist.. the urge.. to make a Dragon Ball Z reference....

... Either I was right and he’s manifesting his own dreams... or he just had an aneurysm.

Well, considering your ultimate attack is throwing soup it kinda tracks.

Don’t pass out in the middle of a battle?

Light fills the stage! Rumbling grows in the distance! The battle is not over!

Where’d the skirt come from?! And why does he have a stethoscope? I’m feeling more and more that Sylvester isn’t a real psychologist!

Well, my previous theory is pretty much out the window. He goes to sleep and dreams he is bigger so that he turns into a bull-man? At least that’s my current understanding of what’s going on here...

That is a fair reaction to being in an enclosed space with an angry minotaur!

candaru liveblogs reading her own writing: episode 2

again, retained from the “Indus can only focus on one thing at a time” concept! which in my head is still pretty much canon but trust me, it was better left implied. trying to fit in an explanation just muddied the whole story

Molly and Mera have SUCH a fun dynamic in this AU and it’s kinda too bad I didn’t get to explore it more because in EE you rarely have two competent people in the same room

I wrote this bit BEFORE Percy came into the picture and it ended up really perfectly, what with Percy’s whole knightly theme and taking offense to Molly knighting her XD

more foreshadowing! those dinosaur bones would’ve done a LOT more damage if Molly hadn’t activated her epithet.

he was just trying to tell her “it’s fine” the whole time :”)

I honestly thought swapping Percy and Sylvie was gonna be hard and then I was sHOOK when their voices were almost identical

MORE foreshadowing! on all three trivia points this time! 1) most people know that Jello stated how epithet tattoos form when an epithet is particularly strong, 2) Indus enjoys tattoos and would have a tattoo artist give him some, but, well, a tattoo artist is a person, so they couldn’t get close enough to his skin to work with it, and 3) of course he’s never broken a bone— he’s surrounded by a passive barrier at all times

anytime I had an opportunity to quote Spliinkles-senpai directly I took it

Molly’s moral agenda of “I’ll hurt anyone except a kid” was NOT planned out in advance but it turned out to be SO fun to work with, and a perfect excuse for why she wouldn’t just immediately knock out Gio (and later, Percy) on sight

my aesthetic is “kid’s cartoons that only vaguely allude to a much darker backstory if you think about them too long” :)))

this,,, may or may not be DIRECTLY stolen from a scene in Hoshi No Kaabii, which was the anime I watched at 7 years old and then hyperfixated on for YEARS

the fact that some people assumed this was canon, and that others decided to adopt it as a HC for canon Giovanni as well, is quite possibly one of the biggest compliments to my writing ever

I CANNOT tell you. HOW MUCH TIME IT TOOK ME. TO COME UP WITH A SUBSTITUTE FOR BEEFTON. the entire three-part Sylvie/swap!Percy battle was actually the hardest part to translate out out ANY of the scripts. I did so much rearranging. so many scrapped concepts. and I was SUPER relieved when people liked it as much as they did because I was on the verge of going feral XD

alright gonna take a break now :) I will return to these tho because commenting on my own stuff is fun, even if I’m just rambling into the void (and what is tumblr for, if not rambling into the void?)

[miles-edward-obrien]
