I absolutely LOVE the Squirtle/Wartortle illustrations by kantaro in Pokemon 151!

The Squirtle jumping so joyfully from the rock into the ocean, the colors are STUNNING! I love the contrast of the Squirtle's aqua blue framed in the vivid orange sky, the soft bit of blue reflecting in its shell and its tail just catching the sun, how little and squishy its body looks as it launches itself towards the water with such tremendous excitement!

The lineless style of the background gives me the feel of a travel poster and I sense the tropical environment around it from the rocks and trees framing the corners, the waterfall splashing with as much energy as the Squirtle!

The layered blues on the surface of the water and the bubbles rising at the corner make me FEEL the liquid rising to meet the Squirtle--I can just feel how the next moment it's going to break through and be immersed in a cool island swim!

And the Wartortle running along the sunset beach, this is somehow everything I always imagined for Wartortle! I adore the way the rich purple melts into the warm red/orange sky, the matching purple clouds and shadows in the foreground, and how the dimming sunlight glows red on Wartortle's deep blues!

I love how the yellow and orange of the sky illuminate the lapping waves, I can just feel the gentle motion of the sea at dusk. The aqua color of the ocean matches Wartortle's ears and tail and sets off the red-orange sand, I just love how the colors are here!

Wartortle looks so round and squishy, I love its happiness as it goes frolicking through the shallows, chasing the bubbles caught in the setting sun! The shine and deep shadow on its shell give it an almost jewel texture like real tortoise shell; I love the silhouetted splash Wartortle leaves as it goes running across the shore. It's so full of energy and delight at the end of a gorgeous day! The colors in these are SO vivid and harmonized and the style is so cute and bursting with energy and joy. I just LOVE it (also Squirtle is my starter)

I know we Sanuso shippers sound like a broken record moving in between Skypiea, Water 7, Enies Lobby, and Sabaody, but... Those really are crucial arcs for both of them. They show their core personalities, even before their actual arcs (WCI and, hopefully, Elbaf, if Oda gives my boy Usopp all the attention he deserves there) and they're always together. They're paired together in each of those and they're together to witness each other's important moments and growth. And I just think it's something so beautiful. It's not exactly that they have crucial scenes, it's the fact that they're together to support each other in them.

JTTW retelling that deals with everyone's favorite pilgrims "beginning" their redemption arcs getting trapped under a mountain for 500 years/getting stabbed hundreds of times daily/having their bones broken with a mallet constantly/whipped approximately a bajillion times when.

Man, its wild kinda-kinning Sun Wukong (from the original jttw novel)

What i mean is, Wukong before he got stuck under a mountain was actually a LOT like me as a kid…. I have since grown up and am a much different person, but sometimes its like shoot, thanks mom for raising me right bc look at what I couldve become 😭

[isdalinarhot]

ok whatever dalinar and navani trapped in the spiritual realm scary bodes poorly awful I DONT WANT TO THINK ABOUT THAT. i want to think about radiant implying that sadeas ALSO murdered his way up a couple dahns WHILE BEING 15. and im guessing this was a joint effort with ialai? again, when they were Fifteen Years Old. like holy shit

Early morning I-can't-sleep-for-stress-over-a-medical-procedure thoughts: Well, OBVIOUSLY I have to make my weird Mourn Watch Rook something like Moritani so that her nickname can be Mori. Obviously.

so... it's done. i finished yu gi oh. it was... definetly an experience, that's for sure but i can say with confidence nd love a very fun one! atem is...dead i guess. he already was but this timeit's like, official and that... is understandable. yugi also has the chance to grow into himself in a way he would never be able to if he kept relying on his other self. i hope atem's found peace in the afterlife and it was a great way to end the series! of course, according to the sopilers ive gotten, it won't stay that way for long...

reading/ watching this alongside arcane was... an experience to say the least and the dual brainrot i am recieving is confusing to say the least lol. i can't help but think of their themes side by side, how they directly conflict each other. arcane is about the destructive potential of love and the violence that breeds from it and yet how important that love is and how it is worth fighting for. it's also very morally grey and touches on themes of redemption. yu gi oh is about learning kindness (atem) and the eternal battle between love and hate, how it's better to love and search for revenge and find comfort in the darkness. in that way, it is a timeless tale. And of course it is about the constructive effects of love and friendship and the strength of community and others we can rely on. what we can see but remains unseen... it is a question with many answers. one's own heart and self. friendship. the next card you draw, everything. it's also very much a coming of age story, for both yugi and jounouchi who have fantastic character arcs. it's definetly simpler (and the quality can't really be compared) than arcane and quite straightforward but the ideas it brings to the table and communicates hold the same significance nad merit (well pre memory world and post s0) and while in different ways, both speak of empathy and love as some of the most important parts of the human experience. it's... fascinating and hopeful and the love for the project is clear in both and the themes carry over to the audience well. it's sweet <3

everyone was so harsh to alola it deserved so much better. like this region is so well designed and so pretty and the story is actually really fun? will never forgive everyone for what we did to her

[witharacket]

i think it's both important to not erase tashi in the throuple post-2019 new rochelle match and it's also important not to diminish the bond that art and patrick had pre-tashi either

babes, as soon as I get a couple more sketchbooks and pens so the anxiety of having to make every sketch perfect lest I waste one of the last 7 pages and run out of ink halfway through will be lessened, I'll get back to all your beautiful requests in my inbox!!! y'all are so creative and you conjure such beautiful images in my brain <3333 hugs and kisses to all of you!!!

This might seem random but I'm asking bc you have a good body and seem like someone who doesn't let laziness/frustration get the best of you. I exercise a lot for body building stuff and I'm pretty good at being consistent but I HATE doing bent over barbell rows and I often skip it bc I do so much other exercises I get tired and I also hate spending too much time in the gym bc I work a lot a guess I try min max my time spent in the gym. I do other lat focused exercises which I justify in my head as making up for it (which rlly it doesn't bc theyre not compound lifts). How do you deal with exercises you hate/you want to skip. Feel free to ignore this if you want I just saw you on my dash after I finished a workout after again ignoring my bent over rows...

Oh jeesh, I appreciate that, but I certainly let both laziness & frustration get the better of me a lot so ur not alone ! 😭 honestly tho , I’ve been lifting for years now, some years better than others, & I personally am at the point in my life where i just truly do not do lifts i don’t like lol. Like to me, there’s already so much time & energy being spent in the rest of our lives doing things we don’t want to do, so if we’re choosing to be somewhere doing something we don’t HAVE to do, then we should at least not be doing things we don’t like!!! I also don’t enjoy barbell rows, but I don’t feel like im missing out bcs there are many other exercises that will exercise the same group of muscles. Heck, I’ve never seen some of the older, biggest guys at my gym ever do a squat on a squat rack — they only use the leg press! that’s not to say don’t do squats, but everyone has a routine that works for them, & i just feel like there are very many ways to work out one group of muscles, so you should just stick to exercises that you enjoy doing and aren’t a chore imo !
