im honestly really loving how much the taz abnimals episodes feel like a cartoon show. like so much of the pacing, tropes, humor, are so true to kids action cartoons, which makes it extremely fucking funny to me when the pcs come in with the absolute clownshoes energy they possess and barely manage to stumble their way through typical action cartoon shenanigans
#taz abnimals#not to be one of those ppl who compares all the arcs to balance#but it genuinely does remind me a lot of that energy in that theyre absolutely succeeding at what theyre doing#but theyre also doing it in the least coordinated conceivable way#also god justins bullshit horrible bluff tactics r back in full swing how i have missed them#yet another justin pc who takes every possible opportunity to lie and either succeeds flawlessly#or just fucking steals a security officers badge and runs

I think I know the main reason why this movie design bugged me
King Boo. My man. Why is your mouth so small?
It's supposed to take up at least half your face, that's practically the crux of your design.
#my current theory is they made it that way so that mouth movements might be easier to animate if he appears in the future... but...#c'mon guys you made Bowser's mouth shape work flawlessly for dialogue you can do the same with King Boo#fingers crossed they adjust his character model a bit if they make that Luigi's Mansion movie 'cause this ain't it babes#Mario Movie#King Boo#look at his facial structure they tried to put BONES in him#there ain't no bones in KB he is a blob#an orb#he is mostly mouth lean into it

I saw this post on twitter and I alr had these basically drawn out so I knew I had to do it.
(Also I'm in love with the way they draw the strawhats I love their art sm)
#zosan#fem!sanji#fem!zosan#butch!zoro#one piece sanji#sanji#roronoa zoro#one piece#one piece zoro#Idc im tickled by the way I obsess so differently with these two#i actually believe in both looks for sanji as I am a genderqueer sanji truther#She can flawlessly accomplish any look on the gender spectrum and I will die on that hill#zoro could do the same but she doesn't rly are that much

Why in my humble opinion MHA's ending regarding Midoriya Izuku is good and fitting and completes his storyline beautifully 🧵
Or: On what it means to be a hero.
I'm having a slight déjà-vu... oh well. There are lots of opinions on MHA and its ending, now that it is here, so after seeing some I felt compelled to shove my own to the board.
While it's impossible to disregard all other aspects of the ending as MHA is a rich story with many factors and subplots additionally to the main story, I will do my best to focus on my main point, which is: Midoriya Izuku's story is a good one and has been brought to a beautiful and very fitting ending that I like a lot. Here's why:
I have three (four) main points I will go through that are related to Izuku's story that imo were ended well:
One For All & what the quirk did for Izuku & how it ended.
Izuku's on-going career, resulting in him as a teacher.
Izuku's future career with the hero suit.
2 and 3 also both pick up one of MHA's main themes: What it means to be a hero.
So, let me start with One For All (OFA).
OFA is the quirk that kicks off this series because it's the quirk given by the Symbol of Peace All Might to our protagonist Midoriya Izuku, who has been quirkless but dreamt of being a hero. There are a few important things to note about OFA:
OFA is very strong; so strong that All Might, even after agreeing to give Izuku the quirk, makes him train. A lot. And hard. Because a regular body would not be able to handle OFA due to its nature.
We learn later that not only does it cultivate the raw strength of all its previous users, but that it holds their quirks too. And that these quirks got stronger with each generation of OFA user as well.
In fact, the major reason why OFA is so insanely strong when Izuku receives it, is the fact that All Might had been quirkless himself and therefore is the longest holder of OFA as the other users could not handle having their own quirk and OFA as additional one, passing away rather early.
OFA is also the quirk of Yoichi who is All For One's (AFO) brother who, in very simplified terms, have a long history and complicated, but hostile relationship with each other. Yoichi wants to stop his brother.
And, to make a very, over 400 chapters long story short: Izuku defeats All For One and he does so after countless of training and battles where he learned to make the best use of OFA and in the end by transferring OFA to Shigaraki/AFO.
Izuku has always understood OFA as a borrowed power and ultimately as one he'd be the last user of—OFA was a power used to defeat AFO and the fact that transferring it, ultimately what AFO had always desired, is part of what destroys him is very fitting.
OFA has given Izuku the chance to enter the world of heroes—and to help change it in the long run. He was able to open the people's eyes about society, he has shown that even after he gave OFA away, he would still fight and he has animated people to be heroic even if they aren't employed as heroes. He has added more meaning to the word "hero".
Izuku as teacher, part 1 of what it means to be a hero.
Now, I have seen a lot of criticism to Izuku ending up as a teacher and I am here to tell you—it's perfect for him! Izuku is someone who loves learning, he is genuinely enthusiastic about it, and especially about quirks—he loves geeking out about them, he spends his free time analyzing them and drawing out their potential, he is an amazing supporting character for children that need assistance in finding their footing in the world of heroes. Who can you learn better from than from someone who loves learning itself? He's got a contagious kind of excitement that sparks over to you.
And, he knows better than anyone how chasing after this dream of being a hero feels like, knows better than anyone how important people supporting you on the way is—because this is what he has received, back then, when he was in high school himself. Izuku has learned and experienced himself how important support from the people around you is, so he now wants to provide exactly that to the future generation of heroes. He wants to guide them on their path.
This career path also opens a new perspective that MHA has been trying to tell us for so long now: "Hero" isn't just who goes up and picks up this nice certificate and runs around the city with the "hero badge". "Hero" is more than that. Helping people, in any little way, is being heroic and makes you a hero. Teachers are heroes too. Izuku is being a hero, even now that he doesn't do "pro hero" work, because he is helping children—a teacher doesn't only educate, a teacher provides mental support to some extent too, and that goes even moreso for UA and other hero school teachers. Teachers protect their students as well. Izuku is, by all means, still a hero, just not a "pro" hero. He is a guidance to children and is dedicating his life to extend a helping hand to them and their dreams.
And he's happy with it.
Yes, it's also said that he misses the work of a pro hero—but that doesn't mean that what he is doing now is bad or "settling". He could have done SO many other things, but he CHOSE to pursue a career as a teacher—because this, too, is something he enjoys and finds happiness in. Both statements can be true. You can miss something you used to dream of all your life—it's very natural, even, but you can still be happy about where you ended in life right now.
Moreover, even if you don't agree with my take as "teachers" being heroes too, we see just a few panels later Izuku being a hero:
Which further emphasizes the point I and MHA have been trying to make: You can be a hero even if your job title isn't "hero". That's why civilians got statues too, that's why they are considered for the heroes ranking too. You can have a diverging opinion on how effective it is, but that is the point that is being made and the characters in-universe try to bring across too.
The hero suit and the conclusion on what it means to be a hero.
Truthfully, I don't know why people keep acting like MHA ended after Izuku's teacher career, because we have a conclusion that even traces back and argues back against anyone who doesn't agree with my points about him being a teacher and still a hero. And, more importantly, it brings the full manga into a perfect circle:
Because remember what the manga opened with: Can you be a quirkless hero?
And in so many ways across all these 430 chapters, but now even in the most literal sense of itself, MHA is telling you: YES. Yes you can! It shows us that you can be a hero without a quirk because anyone can lend someone freezing or wounded a t-shirt and anyone can reach out their hand to someone who is lost and anyone can sprint to catch a stumbling child.
But, also, our protagonist Midoriya Izuku, who is quirkless and had lived his dream at the age of 15-17 after borrowing a quirk, now is only starting his dream again at the age of 25: He can be a (pro) hero again and that although he doesn't have a quirk.
Yeah, it's expensive and not yet affordable for the average quirkless guy. But that's not the point of the story, because we started with asking "Is it possible at all?" and were first deluded into thinking the answer is "No.", but MHA is here to tell you: Yes, you can be a hero. There is most certainly an argument to made that now that the first one has done it, more might be able to follow in the long run.
So, what does it mean to be a hero?
I think MHA's message on that is: A hero is someone who steps up because they can, who helps people achieve a part of happiness because they have the chance to. You don't have to have a quirk or do grand gestures, you don't have to rely on the "professionals" to take care of it, at least not if you can make a difference already. There is no shame in a little heroic act because it doesn't make the act less heroic. There even is beauty in everyone being a little hero to each other every day.
Some last words about my feelings on MHA's ending.
This isn't really part of the thread anymore, but I still wanted to say this. This is purely personal, but, to me, what was really beautiful was: Midoriya Izuku didn't "peak" in high school, he had one peak in high school, but life is made of multiple "peaks".
Izuku is 25 and hasn't even seen all of the world yet and now he gets to live his dream again. Because you never know where life takes you and even if you may feel hopeless or lost and like you already experienced all the highs of lives, Horikoshi and MHA are here to tell you: There's always another peak yet to come.
MHA has this really beautiful ending that tries to reassure you that even though your teen years feel so intense and like the world is about to end and even though so many others your age may be so much "higher" on the "life achievements" scale, it doesn't mean that you are a failure or should lose hope because you can always catch up later, in your own pace, with your own wishes. Life isn't over at 17. Life isn't even over at 25. Your new dream might only just become true later than you expected.
#btw i dont think that mha's ending is flawlessly perfect#i do have my criticism on it but this is solely focusing on what the ending did with Izuku#and that i find very good and enjoyed a lot#overall though#i have been very happy with the ending#despite some things i didnt like or found lacking#imho if mha had 2-5 chapters more i think the ending would be even more satisfying#bc it would have more room to address a lot of things that fell through now#but it is what it is#xlillyle bnha threads#my hero academia#mha#bnha#boku no hero academia#mha analysis#mha thread#mha commentary#midoriya izuku#mha spoilers#mha manga spoilers#mha 430

The Magiciatron
A couple of posts came across my dash recently in quick succession about Crowley and Aziraphale’s costuming, and boy howdy did they get me Thinking™. The details of those posts are not super relevant, but they did inspire this one and were quite insightful, so I’d recommend giving them a read anyway, as well as the several other posts I have linked throughout where ideas were taken. Please do give those a read/reblog as well!
And then take a look at this post I saw:
“You’re not trying to trick me, are you?”
Now kindly consider the fact that Crowley is beside Muriel’s left shoulder (like an angel) and the Metatron is on Aziraphale’s right (like a demon). And notice, like I did, that the lapels on his coat are some of the lowest we’ve seen. Which, for an angel-who-isn’t-Aziraphale, and you know, the literal fucking voice of God, is pretty fucking weird. But I digress.
Because what’s important here is that you’re reminded, like I was, how weird it is that the Metatron is wearing so much black.
Surely the most important angel we’ve ever met-- who up to this point, has only ever been depicted as a brilliantly glowing white head, and is (stage blocking-wise, literally) above inhabiting the typical corporations that other angels have, even while in heaven-- surely he would be sporting the cleanest, purest, whitest clothes imaginable, right?
But... he isn’t. He’s not wearing grey or beige like any of the other angels, or even white like Muriel’s constable uniform, he’s wearing black. That’s weird! Angels don’t wear black! Oh... well except when they’re magicians, of course:
(X, X)
But even in his magician costumes, Aziraphale retains many elements of his angelic nature: the upward-pointed lapels; the white cuffs poking out of his sleeves; the floppy bow ties; the single-button or open jacket revealing the soft gold and velvet vests. This is merely a flashy costume! Don’t worry folks, he’s still the same, good old angel underneath!
The Metatron, on the other hand, does not have any of these angelic indicators. Underneath his magician’s coat-- which is big and loose, falls closed in front of him in a way that obscures his suit, and has extremely downward-pointing lapels-- he wears a dark tie, and a very normal-looking, white, pinstripe shirt. No angelic tartan to be seen, either. It’s a very understated, business-minded look compared to Aziraphale’s flashy stage getups. Also worth noting imo is that in many scenes, the Metatron has his hands in his pockets, which obscures his form even more.
Now this might be indicative of something more, some larger scheme we haven’t deduced yet, but by itself it’s a brilliant move by the costuming department, adding yet another perfectly conniving layer to the Metatron’s manipulations:
Dress him in the magician’s coat and send him on stage, where his tricks are hidden in plain sight...
Engage the audience to participate in a dramatic reveal...
Reassure his volunteer that his props are completely normal by offering them up for inspection...
Have the assistant do all the flashy presentation for him...
So that while the audience is distracted, they fail to notice...
... that a swap has been made...
And then the curtain falls. Show over. Audience fooled. Job well done.
The End.
#good omens#good omens meta#good omens analysis#good omens season 2#good omens spoilers#gomens#gomens meta#aziraphale#the metatron#by me#hes got such a smug look on his face as aziraphale steps into the elevator#he performed his trick flawlessly#be advised the stand-ins for audience and volunteer and assistant are mutable in this metaphor#the only constant is that the metatron is the magician#ok i think thats it SHOOTING THIS OUT INTO THE ETHER NOW#this line of thinking was MOSTLY inspired by the crowley post#and his turtleneck being his 'spy outfit'#which got me thinking about if his white server uniform at warlocks birthday counted as a spy outfit#bc it has lapels (pointed up) whereas no other servers do#which then got me thinking about how hes wearing white and aziraphale black#and then i saw that first post and remembered that metatron ALSO wears black#and then i thought about it for four days then posted this#this is not supporting evidence for coffee theory!!!!!!!#this is a doyalist analysis of costuming and what metatrons role is in that scene#ty for reading

I feel profoundly bad for every rpg yet to come out this year that now has to compete with Metaphor: reFantazio.
#metaphor: refantazio#metaphor refantazio#m:rf#veilguard especially#imagine being the highly anticipated next installment of a mega popular fantasy rpg franchise#so hyped up other games where bumping their release windows so as not to compete#and then two weeks before your set to release the highschool ya guys come out with a new high fantasy rpg ip#that proceeds to absolutely eat your fucking lunch#and do every major theme and idea you've been stumbling over for twenty years but flawlessly#right down to the companion socializing and gripping main story

diew going so dazed with lust over his giant sweaty boyfriend it's giving him tunnel vision only to be jolted out of it by the giant sweaty boyfriend going diew 😮 did you just grope me? 😍🥰👀 was the perfect finale content for this sweet, sweet little show
#this series turned into such an unexpected delight!!#not flawlessly perfect but definitely constantly adorable and firmly on the side of good and healthy communication and boundaries#and i love that!! it was fifty minutes of metaphorically sitting under a warm blanket with a big cup of tea every week#and i will miss them!!!#*#monster next door#also though is anyone writing fix-it fic to give khun shy a better tank yet? i truly might end up doing that

What are you even supposed to do after you finish reading something that cannot be beat. I felt like that after finishing Golden Kamuy, but now I'm really fucking feeling it after just finishing Usogui. That was the most insane incredible experience I've ever had reading a manga. I kneel.
#its got me feeling like a victorian asylum patient.#fuck oh my god. please has anyone else read it please can yuo hear me...#its 7 am. i need to sperg somewhere. somehow.#i never make posts like this.. thats how much i need to glaze this series.#firstly. the yaoi is world class.#anything else would be secondary to that but everything else is executed flawlessly as well.#it gets so fucking silly. like the naked guy doing a polygraph on a plant so he could win at the game battleship.#but its also an emotional rollercoaster.#the foreshadowing that's sprinkled in everywhere ooohh my god....... the tension and build up and stakes... its peak......#when ive read some super popular normie manga like jjk or dunmeshi or csm ive felt literally nothing#they may as well have been dozens of volumes of tv static#but sooo many people love them and talk about them.#nothing wrong with liking normie stuff btw. thats just my subjective opinion on those series#i put usogui on my To Read list after watching some video essay that ive completely forgotten about ages ago.. and thats it#ive never seen anyone else talk about it.#if i can make just One tumblypoo read this series then i will be happy

trying to match Gregory's characterization in my writing to canon Gregory is sooo hard. I'd think that he isnt super smiley and energetic because we've never seen that from him, and any jokes he makes in the game are always just him complaining instead of clever little quips. we've only ever seen him scared annoyed sad or panicked and nothing else. all of his dialogue is very relevant to the plot a lot of the time so we never get to actually see him just talk normally so barely any personality is seen from him, but all we have to go off of is hes reserved not smiley easily annoyed etc
but then in all of the official art by steel wool hes always smiling real big and having fun and having a good time so it's like does he smile a lot or not. do I write him normal or make him one or the other. I dont know how he would react in canon to certain things. WHAT DO I DOOO
#not to mention how his voice lines we do have are inconsistent#hes compentent and smart and saying difficult words and remembering names of places flawlessly#and then hes finding it difficult to pronounce complicated#its very annoying#i just want to see his personality and dialogue shine on camera#like cassie had#vanessa too#i think its really fun writing characters as close to canon as possible to make it feel like themselevs#but its impossible this way😭😭😭#ill just keep doing what ive been doing i guess#pandas.txt#pandas talks
