This is my second attempt at painting this painting of Misaki Shokuhou. Aside from giving it another try at painting her, I also made a few edits to her outfit using the anime as reference for her outfit. Overall, it looks much better now.

Here's the old version:

Hasta la proxima,

A Certain Magical Index Season 1 Review

If you're looking for a fun and action-packed anime with a mix of magic and science, you might want to check out A Certain Magical Index Season 1. It's a show that follows the adventures of Touma Kamijou, a high school student with a special power that can negate any supernatural phenomenon, and Index, a mysterious nun who has 103,000 magical books stored in her brain. Together, they get involved in various conflicts between the factions of magicians and espers in the city of Academy City. The show has a lot of cool fights, interesting characters, and some hilarious moments. It also explores some themes like religion, morality, and friendship. The animation and music are pretty good too. The only downside is that the plot can get confusing at times, and some of the arcs are not very well-developed. But overall, it's a fun and enjoyable watch that will keep you entertained for 24 episodes.

Cass & Maps

Almost done with my little 7 page story I’ve been doing for Mia and Cass, I’m really having the most fun i’ve ever have, I.. hope you will like them :)

(This is just a little sneak peek on Black & White! All the pages are gonna be full color, it’s just that I was taking the chance to post these since the “noir” vibe kinda fits as well into the story 😅 but im probably gonna be posting my lineart version too after all the pages, idk , i will see!)

@supplycorner thank you for the like and reblog. You're firing a lot of things so, I feel it's right that I fire back more info. Hahahah.

So, what you mentioned about not liking Index. That comment is fair game. It's not for everyone as it's really slow but what kept me going was the world-building and the magic system. Consuming the series through just Railgun by itself is good but it loses a lot of the grandness of collision between worlds.

The second comment is about Railgun itself. Mikoto is much more interesting for several reasons. Depending on your watch order, she can come across as the Science side's MC or a side character that is so cool to the point that she deserves her own spin-off.

Finally, the comment that Mikoto is suggested to be auDHD. I'm unfamiliar with that topic so I won't comment as much. I think it's adorable that she clings to Gekota and is a little embarrassed about this. Speaking from personal experience, it can feel very childish. it's a fun quirk about her that I enjoy cause I feel that same feeling.

Thank you for the comments~

Regarding Misaka Mikoto

When you think about Waifu/ Husbando culture. The word; Tsundere comes out a lot. Love them or hate them, Tsundere’s can come across to non-anime fans as someone who is borderline terrible to have as a date. To explain in “normal human language” the word Tsundere is derived from the terms tsun tsun (ツンツン) (‘to turn away in disgust/ anger’) and dere dere (デレデレ) ('to becoming affectionate’). Regarding this Wednesday’s post, I will be talking about my favorite Tsundere;

The Third among The Level 5, the Ace of Tokiwadai, The Electrical Princess, The Railgun herself…

Misaka Mikoto | 御坂 美琴

Anyone who has read my post about [World-building: becoming the Jack of all Genres], you know I had this coming! I love the <A Certain Magical Index> series in terms of its world building and its character’s respective development but I also LOVE its spin-off; <A Certain Scientific Railgun> Where we follow the young Esper’s adventures in Academy City with her best friend/ roommate; [Kuroko Shirai], her Judgement partner; [Uiharu Kazari] and close friend; [Saten Ruiko].

Born on the 2nd of May (Age: 14) and voiced by Satou Rina (Jap VA)/ Brittney Karbowski (Eng VA), Misaka’s story began when she agreed to meet Kuroko’s colleague, Uiharu and Saten for a casual hang out. After some time of mundane (at least, in Academy City’s terms of mundane.) adventures and high jinks, the pair grew to admire Misaka’s brave soul, sweet kindness and protective nature.

Raised from a more humble household, Misaka entered Academy City from an elementary age, distinguished by her professors, teachers and peers as a child prodigy. Initially starting out as a Level 1 (a low Esper rank) climbing her way up to Level 5 (the highest Esper rank.) Compared to the other Level 5′s she does not look down at students from the lower levels. In fact, she encourages them to keep giving their best effort instead of giving up.

In terms of appearance, she is described as a “proper lady” for the most part but there is also a rather tomboyish side to her. She seen wearing a pair of shorts underneath her school uniform skirt. Misaka is also shown to have a complex to her figure, feeling inferior in some areas when compared to other girls her age like; [Shokuhou Misaki]; As seen [HERE]

Yeah, I know. Its a tasteless comment, I’m sorry.

Personality wise, She’s generally friendly and easygoing but often prefers to be in solitary and dislikes the idea of being restricted by rules, complimented by her keen sense of justice against bullies and horrible scientists with her unshakable resolve. She can also be selfish, jumping head first into bad situations alone to avoid endangering other people and her friends. As shown during The Level Upper Incident and The Sisters Arc. 

As an Esper, Misaka is categorized as an; Electro Master. Which is an ability that allows her to generate and manipulate electricity, attract and repel against metallic material, manipulate iron sand to become a buzz saw, hack electronic devices, sense all electrical and magnetic phenomenon and so much more. But of course, her signature move and finishing move is; [The Railgun].

An actual scientific weapon backed up by ACTUAL science! Using her abilities, Misaka forms parallel currents on both sides of her arm and utilizing the Lorentz force, with the addition of Fleming’s left-hand rule. She can fire metal objects three times the speed of sound. Her choice of projectiles are arcade coins that when fired, has a limited range at 50 meters.

However, in the series. She has been seen using larger objects with higher voltages. Shown on top. 👆

Dangerous weapons on her fingertips aside. Misaka is also a talented violinist but also has childish side. Despite being a teenager, she still likes to buy and own cute things especially when it comes to the local mascot; [Gekota]. However, she gets easily embarrassed when she’s caught by her peers.

Her Tsundere side is heavily showcased when she interacts with the main character; [Kamijou Touma]. Where she violently swings back and forth when interacting or referring to him. Claiming that she doesn’t have a crush while at the same time, goes out of her way to care for him and assist him when given the chance.

In an interview with Kamachi Kazuma, the creator of the series. He states Misaka Mikoto will be the one he would want to choose as his friend. Fun fact, there is a China-based video sharing site <Bili-Bili>  which referenced Misaka’s nickname “Biri-Biri” given to her by Touma. 

In addition, there is the giving “coins” feature for user contributions. Referring to Misaka’s use of arcade coins for her Railgun, the user rank system from level 0 to 6 is a nod to the Esper levels and the site’s celebration of her birthday. 

Also, [THIS] modified from the site itself.

On a personal level, I see a lot of her in my own personality.

As young working adult, I too own a shrine full of plushies, toys and trinkets but I’ve learned to accept it as a part of my personality. To see a character who is told to grow up and be more woman-like while also getting intense over winning a piece of “kid targeted” merch brings me back to my crane machine obsession and frequent visits I make to a nearby toy store.

I also think Misaka is a cool and cute character! She’s flawed, insecure and she’s relatable to anyone who struggles with abandoning their child-like tendencies to becoming a functioning adult. We root for her to grow and to be honest with her feelings towards Touma and we get to see that her fight is not just her own, because she has friends that she can rely on.

I know Its a little hard for people to understand but its just a different way of finding relatable characters to love and support. All in all, its in good fun. 

Biri-Biri is BEST GIRL and I can admire her in a totally normal way.

Dear Friends...

STOP. DO NOT SKIP.

...Did you read the news this morning? Specifically, the story below?

...Well, I don't know how else to tell you this, so I will have to be as blunt as I possibly can:

This isn't going to stop.

This isn't going to disappear with the wave of a magic wand, and neither will it fade away with the snapping of a god's fingers.

This is also why, once more before I'm due to travel, I'm asking for your help.

Specifically, both @rajaagaza and @khaled-gaza are in urgent need of funds...and in order to save themselves and their young son, Karam, their VETTED CAMPAIGN will need to reach $13,000 CAD by next Saturday morning.

So, if there is anyone out there who has ever felt the need to help an innocent family, then you all know what to do.

Donate.

Alec and Clary hating each other's guts in cob is iconic & funny but what makes it so much funnier is how quickly they get over it. by the epilogue they're both like "I feel so bad about all the mean & completely untrue things I said to you and for being really shitty/shoving you against a wall/nearly causing you to die :( im so sorry. anyway, let's never tell Jace any of this k?" and then proceeded to never acknowledge any of it again. by coa it's like it never happened at all. like it doesn't even get a mention in their inner monologues or anything. the one time it does come up is in tftsa due to Simon's incomplete memories & him being under the impression Alec doesn't like Clary. and when he brings it up to Alec his immediate response is this

like I'm obsessed with their dynamic, nobody's doing it like them

I think there’s something really cute about Simon always comparing really good looking guys to Jace.

Also the fact he said the literal Angel reminded him of Jace ksksks. Simon talks about Jace’s good looks the same way the fandom does HAHAH

It’s so amusing to me when characters within comics use the fun-trivia-for-fans maps. Like technically that’s a perfectly good canon map. But when Jim Gordon uses it he feels like a tourist to me.

Eliot Brown’s map from Batman: Gotham City Secret Files & Origins #1 (Apr 2000), in Commissioner Loeb’s office in Detective Comics Vol. 2 #25 (Jan 2014)

It’s more funny when it’s shown on a computer though. You’re telling me Oracle and Batman have super highly sophisticated computers but the maps of Gotham on those computers use a numbered legend, instead of anything more technologically efficient and helpful?

Batman: Gotham Knights #55 (Sep 2004) — how is she supposed to find the CCTV if it’s not on the legend? :( lol

Batman Vol. 1 #683 (Jan 2008)

Robin Vol. 2 #178 (Nov 2008) / Titans Vol. 2 #15 (Sep 2009)

Batman Vol. 2 #24 (Dec 2013)

Absurd. And hilarious. This is a very ineffective map for them to quickly identify deep details of the terrain. But it IS an effective way to get me to laugh in the middle of a comic intended to be high stakes and serious. Important mission who? I only know fun background map.
