So... even though I grew up watching Captain Tsubasa and the Dragon Ball and Sailor Moon franchises (just to name a few)...

I think Gundam Wing is my first anime as a teenager. And, even though I’ve seen Endless Waltz several times, I don’t think I’ve actually seen GW since the late 90s.

So the nostalgia is through the roof rn.

Predictions:

- I’ll still love Duo, possibly even more. - I am curious about Heero and Relena as individuals - Surprisingly, Quatre caught my attention for several reasons. I had forgotten that he’s basically on a “break the cutie” character arc, so that’s a big plus in my book, but I also adore the dichotomy between his soft and kind personality compared to this very, very masculine killing machine that he pilots. I can’t think of the word in English to describe how “tosco” the Gundam is. lol, maybe my English skills will return eventually... - I am trying to go into GW without shipping glasses on? But I can’t make any promises. GW popped my Fujoshi cherry after all. Like just imagine this 14-15 year old girl accidentally running into yaoi drawings of Heero and Duo and realizing she liked them... like A LOT loooool. But I have the feeling this time around it’s going to be all about 3x4

The dino benches are super cute. The angle is a little weird, though. And there's other seating if you're scared of dinosaurs. Looks like there's non-dino flat benches in the back on the right and a raised stone bench / retaining wall area on the left with grass and trees. I'm a little worried that there's no arm rests on any of the seating areas, though. It might be difficult for people with mobility issues to stand back up. Super cute for in front of a dino museum, though! And I totally want one.

making fun of americans is pretty much always ok if youre not doing it in an edgelord “you guys have so many school shootings” way or acting like we’re the only country that has racism. but like posts about americans and hamburger get me every time

First tweet: “I saw a piece of fabric? on the floor of my room so I went to pick it up but it was actually the moonlight that entered through the window lmao”

Quote RT: “1000 years ago this would have been a poem, not a tweet”

ok so for those of you who don’t know, there’s this twitter account of a japanese local hero mascot named dentman who went viral recently due to this tweet

but yeah he saw the tweet. and his response went viral as well (which is how i found his account)

and he just has like. hourly posts reminding you to brush your teeth

oh and his rival? his name is mr. mutans. whenever dentman posts he makes a post of his own, ofc

but THAT’S NOT ALL. literally while making this post i found a THIRD ACCOUNT that’s all about taking your meds

safe to say i’m losing my mind

anyway the point of all this was that people are ALREADY beginning to draw them ship art 😭

and the reactions are everything

I CANT ADD ANY MORE IMAGES BUT TRUST ME THIS IS SO FUNNY

toxic one-sided dentman yaoi wasn’t on my 2024 bingo card but it DEFINITELY IS NOW!

Paintings of hammerhead sharks depicted in the "Oki National Products Illustration Notes". From Japan, Edo Period, 1735 CE

[Edit: 10/18: This art might be AI art according to some folks who have only found it referenced starting about a month ago in various social media posts (including this one). If I have unconsciously spread AI art around, I apologize. If it turns out this is a verified historical thing, neat. If people keep sending me anonymous messages calling me unpleasant names for posting AI art occasionally, I will continue to block them rather than reply.] Edit 2: 10/18:

In case it helps with the shark/AI art stuff, it does appear legit:

Book's name in Japanese for further research from Japanese sources:

隠岐国産物絵図注書

White people are miserable, racist losers period. They’ve even been getting mad at Japanese people for correcting them about Yasuke as well.

recently I discovered that Kawayoo, one of my all-time favorite Pokemon TCG artists, has some art of Loudred floating around and it's the best thing I've ever seen
