pains me that there's simply not enough info on star wars in-universe entertainment and pop culture for my liking. i want to know what star wars version of the godfather looks like. i wanna know what kind of space fanfiction a pantoran teenager would read, the kind of space tiktok edits they would make. i want to know the star wars equivalent for whatever the hell that is happening with ben affleck and matt damon. i want to see a coruscant news outlet publish an article with a headline "M'ett Sp'Amon not wearing a wedding ring again during another visit to Beng Spifflek's house. which could mean nothing"

But that's, like, a dream.

Being able to punch out the sexual harassers all at once at the beginning of school and no one gets mad and understands that yeah, that's a thing that happens? Like, yes, the harassment shouldn't happen in the first place, but even if someone tried to stop it, that doesn't make it stop. It just flies further under the radar and keeps happening.

What's happening to Akane is blatant, and she gets to punch everyone. Every day. She gets to hate men, and it's understood that she has a very good reason to hate men because the men in her life kind of suck.

There's something comforting about these men are treating Akane like shit, but she gets to beat them up while also acknowledging that the one guy who doesn't treat her like shit (the doctor) she still likes. That Akane can like men if they're not - gestures-.

...I'm rambling.

tl;dr - Akane punching out her harassers every morning doesn't, I think, exclude her from being an ordinary everywoman. It just takes her ordinary everywoman experiences and throws them into a daily martial art shenanigan that can be comedic instead of. what it is.

I thought I remembered this, and was not looking forward to it. This is, as I recall, the beginning of the marginalization of Akane as a fighter. We’ve spent two chapters hyping up the confrontation between Akane and Kodachi, but a sudden freak accident means Ranma’s going to fight Kodachi instead.

I remember another new Let's watch tumblr pointing that out too and yeah, its completely correct.

Its possible some shonen sexism might be involved, but than again, there's Cologne being super powerful and the most powerful characters in her prior manga, Urusei Yatsura, being women and a very effeminate male crossdresser?

So it might be the shonen main character does everything syndrome, Ranma can turn into a girl so he handles all of Akane's battles for her?

There are also some interesting interviews with Takahashi that might be relevant.

In one discussing Akane, Takahashi said she didn't want to give her too many flashy special moves as she wanted Akane to be an "average, everyday girl".

And when discussing the yet to be introduced in the new anime, Ukyo, the interviewer mentioned Ukyo saying she'd take care of Ranma if he remained weak for the rest of his life.

Takahashi brought up Ukyo's fantasy of her taking care of her weak husband Ranma and him playing with their kids, saying that's the sort of thing that ruins a man's macho pride and said Ranma would definitely walk out of that marriage.

I guess that checks out with a later story where Ranma is super upset when Akane gets stronger than him?

Weird decision to make Akane a martial artist who has to punch out the entire male half of the student body every morning if she wanted her to be an ordinary everywoman.

Let Louis be arrogant, self-involved and not the most observant person in the room. This is the man who said he didn't know Lestat could fly even though they floated together in the pilot ep. The man who looked his daughter in the face and said she was wrong when she told him that his new boyfriend put his hands on her in a scene 10 minutes after the one where he told said boyfriend to stop being a dick to her. Louis Du Lac gave up on photography after a year when he received critique from someone other than his own machination of Lestat, even though he knew the photos would be a lot better if he exercised just a little patience. its fuuuun, it makes him interestiiiiiing

[ewwww-what]

What a cool dude, I hope he isn’t haunted by memories of his dead friend lol

Hmm.... It's almost like something happened that we don't know about......

———————————————

Finally able to post this! Gonna say straight out the bat; don't look at the consistency of injuries before this point. Just straight up don't. They are NOT consistent at all (but then again this comic was never consistent art wise to begin with, so....)

The turtles have eye colors now! Cause I thought that was cool :)

Bonus:

They did not, in fact, tell April or Cass about the whole "Leo may be turning into a kraang zombie" situation.

I’ve talked about this before but imagine what it’s like for someone in a country/place where eliot is Top Most Wanted and then your tech guy finds a breakout star baseball player on their visual scanner that looks EXACTLY like spencer. but…there’s no way that’s him, right???

and then the next year it happens again but this time it’s some one hit wonder country singer kenneth crane that has like 78 tween-run fangirl blogs dedicated to him. you see a grainy video of him being chased by a horde of screaming teenage girls and ??? no way Eliot Last Thing You’ll Ever See Spencer is a country singer star just. signing pictures of his face right…?

a few months later your intern shows you footage of an eliot lookalike who is in san lorenzo talking about how there is dog fighting in the presidential palace and you just. sigh. because of course. a scant few days later the political geography of the country changes drastically and damien moreau is imprisoned. …interesting

and then a year of silence goes by. he still shows up as blips on the radar but he must have a good hacker working for him because his tracks on the internet are expertly erased.

every time you ask through interagency channels some random interpol guy talks in (condescending?) riddles at you and it also somehow feels like he’s threatening you

and then your friend who recently got into foreign hockey teams sends you a dropyourgloves video of someone called jacques the bear. you immediately get a headache (and watch some more videos because even you can admit this guy is a good hockey player)

and you know he’s a Bad Guy but it’s been admittedly a bit entertaining seeing what claim to fame he will come upon next. and his most recent actions over the few years make you wonder.

a few months later your phone pings because multiple heads of state evacuated from DC. the reason? eliot spencer was in town. you hear two days later a bioterrorist was taken down by… the report was redacted. your hacker tells you spencer and two teammates were behind the successful operation. which, huh.

not even a full year later it is released that spencer is dead and… you don’t know how to feel.

what are they putting in this podcast man

[starflungwaddledee]

Why so stressed Star?

Nothing bad has happened because you had a strange dream, even if it was prophetic, what difference does it make?

You have your friends and surely the people you meet at the tournament would help you in case something bad happened, you are still you and its ok! :D

starstruck gained a staggering +20 emotional stability. she always finds her heroes among the stars << prev || [masterpost] || next >>
