#also the COLORSSSSS have you all SEEN THE COLORS

[colbyheartland]

So I love Dandadan actually because through those first seven episodes I couldn’t stop repeating to myself “Wow Momo is so fucking cool” like she’s such a genuine badass. My shounen senses were primed for her to just get saved over and over again, maybe just helping out every now and then but no SHE’S the one doing the majority of the saving. She and Okarun both feel like real people and they’re setting up a sweet and genuine romance that doesn’t feel creepy. The voice acting is also so good like she is SCREAMING out here.

Usually when an anime has two protagonists and one is a female she feels like a passive observer just getting swept along for the ride even when they’re supposed to be “tough” it fades away or they are made lesser to make the male lead look better. But Momo and Okarun actually work together!!! They both act like human people!!!! Including the ugly parts with Okarun’s avoidance tendencies and Momo regretting when she does lash out because she knows she’s in the wrong. And they talk about it after she does!! It comes with a healthy dose of “teenagers are kind of mean because they’re still maturing” which is normal and amazing to see.

This anime is healing something I didn’t even realize was broken when I found myself not having to cringe away from little moments that make me uncomfortable. There is a bit of fanservice going on (thanks grandma) and yes I get episode 1 starting off as a bit much for people but honestly, genuinely, did you think aliens WEREN’T going to try and probe someone in the Alien Ghosts Anime TM. Kidnapping humans and cows for experimentation is what they’re most famously known for. You are meant to be uncomfortable and weirded out by this episode. An episode that ends when she unlocks fucking psychic powers and blasts that alien through the wall of a SPACESHIP like hello??

Momo Ayase is that character you give a gun to if you want to shorten the book by half and the author gave her one in the form of psychic powers.

quirrel and/or monomon for the character asks? :D

Monomon

Favorite thing about them:

COLORSSSSS MA’AM MA’AM I LOVE UR COLORS SM!!! Her colors are actually my favorite to render but I have yet to put her in a fully completed piece I am a fake fan… She is also incredibly fun to think abt with baby Quirrel. It might just be the shapes and her palette but she gives off the most gentle vibe of the Dreamers, I like that :)

Least favorite thing about them:

Uuhh Im not sure??? There’s some stuff in the archives which suggests that she had knowledge of the pure vessel and their sacrifice, but it’s left up in the air if she knew of the Others. I don’t hate being left in the dark in this… but I’d like to know more abt what she thinks of PK’s methods and how much she’s aware of.

Favorite Line: “A world forever unchanging… Better, and end…”

brOTP: Her and the Dreamers :D!! Also her and Quirrel :).

OTP: uhhhhh her and Herrah maybe :0?? not an otp but I think it could be cute!

nOTP: uhhh… her and Quirrel maybe since I’m sorta on board with her being his adoptive mother and all.

Random headcanon: average poetry and general writing enjoyer :) Came up with short little fairytales for Quirrel before bedtime.

Unpopular opinion: I don’t even know if this unpopular but ace lesbian Monomon headcanoners Where Are You

Song I associate with them: VERY VAGUELY

Space Colony - Mili

Favorite picture of them:

I understand picking this looks lazy but Monomon my beloved you look like a meme

Quirrel

Favorite thing about them: Just a real gentle and friendly guy! A peaceful guy who values comfortable silences and just vibing it out ig

Least favorite thing abt them: definitely his disappearance at the blue lake I am so not okay how will I ever recover.

Favorite line: “Ha. My flattery returns only silent stoicism. I like that. I like that very much.”

brOTP: him with the pale sibs, Lemm, and Monomon ig??

OTP: him and Tiso can be sweet :0 Also??? I’ve seen someone play around with the idea of him and Oro and I’m honestly down with it.

nOTP: him and his MOMnomon

Random Headcanon: Somewhat friendly with Lurien as a kid since he occasionally visited his tower along with Monomon to look through his cool telescope after meetings or something…

Unpopular opinion: def not an unpopular opinion but I can’t think of much I disagree with in popular fanon for him…. He knows a little bit of a lot of languages!! Friends in many places but he never comes back to visit too often…

song I associate with them: Hello Planet - Sasakure UK..? There’s some stuff that doesn’t fit but I still like the idea of it.
