#also finally caught up to the manga

[arielluva]

cant believe he's been wearing this fuckass outfit since he was a kid

[beaulesbian]

with this being the preview for the next ep, and the beginning of gear 5 luffy-vs-lucci fight,

I went to reread one piece chapter 1070, and can't wait even more to see this fight animated in the next few eps! so much loony tunes and goofs ahead!

endlessly spinning luffy:

giant luffy trying to eat-attack lucci:

and of course, creating those funny glasses out of his fluffy hair while he makes a slingshot out of himself:

I can't wait to see this all in color!

shima says all this stuff that at face value can seem like good advice ("don't get too hung up on decisions" etc) or does things that make it seem like he doesn't really care (him bunking off school, not interfering when mitsumi is being mocked in front of him). and it means he gives off this chill vibe on a surface level.

but when you understand the underlying reason why he thinks this way it becomes incredibly obvious that these words and actions are more an expression of how unhealthy his mental state is?

he's actively telling himself that stuff doesn't matter because when he *has* let them matter in his head, that's what led to the whole acting-mum-ririka scenarios. so, school doesn't really matter. theatre? he's done with that. it doesn't matter that he once "loved" acting when all he has now is a broken relationship with his mum and bad associations. much easier to not care.

it's a mix of what he tells himself and what he genuinely believes at this point. he's so conflict-avoidant that he pre-empts any possible tensions by being deliberately passive and prioritising (his perception of) others' feelings above himself. his very choice to agree to date mitsumi was a mix of his own unrecognised feelings towards her (which is why he jumped the gun when mitsumi hadn't even properly *asked*) and the idea that mitsumi liked him so he could do this for her and maybe it wouldn't be so bad. he's trying to pacify his idea of mitsumi's feelings without actually examining his own.

and at the same time, for someone so image-conscious, he has zero idea of the red flags he gives off sometimes. his perspective of love being that between a 'person' and a 'lover' it would be the 'person' you 'like' more being the most extreme example. he plain doesn't realise that his approach is atypical and so he doesn't realise he needs to 'counter' it in his image management. when people make fun of mitsumi in front of him he chooses the route he believes will lead to the least tension and is genuinely surprised when mitsumi *doesn't* want to prioritise group harmony above herself.

he's pushed his own feelings down until he no longer understands himself and it actively affects how he reads other people too. generally speaking, he *is* good at reading the social mood, but more specifically, he's good at figuring out *how to placate people*. there's a reason he's so popular. but he keeps individuals at a distance deliberately. most of the people he's closer to and/or more honest with are those who have known him from his acting days, before he started pushing people away. and when he's interacting one-to-one with people who actually know him like mukai? that's when the cracks start to show and the whole illusion breaks down.

Next girl in my 3x3 of favorite girls series: Lady Kiki from Akagami no Shirayuki-hime or Snow White with the Red Hair. I first watched this series back in... 2017..? (Dang has it really been that long?) And loved it. I remember loving it so much that I wanted the manga only to realize that the manga wasn't out in English and was shocked; it was so good, why didn't it have an English translation. A few years later, it did get a translation, but I only started collecting it last year and am only on volume nine, so I'm nowhere near being caught up. Anyway, I can't necessarily explain why Lady Kiki is my favorite, I just think she's cool and funny, but also I love her design. Also, who doesn't love a female character who can wield a sword?

Anyway, didn't realize that it's been nearly two months since I updated my 3x3 series (Whoops!). Got caught up in some major artblock and lack of motivation, but I'm slowly getting out of it. I'm determined to finish this series! Also, despite this being the biggest illustration I've done in a hot minute, I really like how it turned out. Plus, I got to practice layering watercolors, which is something I've been wanting to practice.

In the final chapter of the popular manga series BNHA, the majority of heroes lose their quirks following the defeat of Tomura Shigaraki. This unexpected turn of events has left many fans in disbelief, as the characters who were once revered for their extraordinary abilities are now ordinary individuals. Quirks, which were once commonplace, have become a rarity in this new world. Deku goes back to being a regular guy, working at a shop. He's not a big hero or anything, he just works in retail.

Bro, I’ve literally read the last chapter of BNHA and this ain’t it💀💀💀 The final chapter does in fact pop off and I adore seeing everyone as pro heroes. The only thing I have an issue with is that we still don’t have a hero name for Shinso. That, and short haired Aizawa. But tf sorta bait is this supposed to be? Just some shit copypasta?

Songs that are so painfully Nezushi to me they make me do wounded animal noises - Featuring three PLACEBO songs cause I've been listening to them A Lot and the vibe just fits

The Bitter End - PLACEBO (Shion's POV while in the Correctional Facility - you guys EVEN THE MUSIC VIDEO'S AESTHETIC FITS??? GO WATCH IT)

Every step we take that's sincronized

Every broken bone

Reminds me of the second time

That I followed you home

You shower me with lullabies

As you're walking away

Reminds me that it's killing time

On this fateful day

See you at the bitter end

See you at the bitter end

Iris - The Goo Goo Dolls (Shion's and Nezumi's POVs)

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming Or the moment of truth in your lies When everything feels like the movies Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am

Every You Every Me - PLACEBO (Nezumi's POV, post novels)

Carve a name into my arm

Instead of stressed, I lie here charmed

Cause there's nothing else to do

Every me and every you

Like the naked leads the blind, I know I'm selfish, I'm unkind

Sucker love, I always find someone to bruise and leave behind

All alone in space and time

There's nothing here, but what's here's mine

Something borrowed, something blue

Every me and every you

Every me and every you

Every me

Every me and every you

Every me

Center Of Attention - Jackson Waters (Shion's POV) - I have to thank the fanvideo below for introducing me to this song, and it's such an emotional, somber, and tender fanvid! And the editing?? It's probably my favorite Nezushi fanvideo ever. Go watch it and give some love to the creator in the comments!)

You think that you're the sun The whole world revolves around you The center of attention And everything is drawn to you But I'll take my time if you want to And I'll give you whatever you need And I'll wait a lifetime to give it to you Give it to you I would wait a lifetime And I would wait for you I would wait a lifetime And I would wait for you

Running Up That Hill - Kate Bush, but PLACEBO's cover cause it's PEAK Nezushi energy (Shion's and Nezumi's POVs, trying to figure each other out, you know the whole 9 novels worth thing)

It doesn't hurt me

You wanna feel how it feels?

You wanna know, know that it doesn't hurt me

You wanna hear about the deal I'm making

It's you

It's you and me

And if I only could

Make a deal with God

Get'em to swap our places

Be running up that road, be running up that hill, be running up that building

If I only could

You don't wanna hurt me

Let's see how deep the bullet lies

I'm aware that I'm tearing you assunder

There's a thunder in our hearts, baby

So much hate for the ones we love

So God tell me we both matter, don't we?

Come on baby, come on darling

Let me steal this moment from you now

Come on angel, come on darling

Let's exchange the experience

[lightchildofthespring]

I wasn't expecting the One Piece live action to be so good! It's making interesting changes, bringing arcs together, making the character have deep conversations and all while still feeling true to the source material!

[tvrningout-a]

on a side note, one of my favorite n.aruto soundtracks came on and just like that, it's nostalgia city :' ))) pls share with the class your favorite old anime soundtrack that sends you back in time, be it n.aruto or otherwise <3

[lesbiansanemi]

[hermes-express]

not me thinking endlessly about chainsaw man

[orcelito]

Man I really hadn't gotten as far in the manga as I thought. I just finished ep 267 of shippuden and it's gearing up for the Gaara vs his dad fight, which I remember being where I dropped off in the manga. Bc I'd been keeping up with new chapters for a while, but with all the war talk... idk it just didn't capture 14 year old me that much. So I stopped keeping up.

Now, though. I find all the war tactics interesting hfkshdk it has me wanting to play a fire emblem game again. Hmmmmmm
