mermay 2023 – Coast

I have a ko-fi shop now! (i haven't sold anything in years, and the last time i tried it was really really hard to set everything up. major major props to every artist selling their stuff! it's super stressful! aaa!)

the stickers are waterproof and fadeproof vinyl, and are super forgiving! (i removed and re-stuck most of these 2 or 3 times and tearing fears were minimal!)

new Gianni stream is really cursed. can you clip whatever was at 27 minutes . I don’t know what it was

I know not everyone sees every post so I’ll keep sayin it

Not taking requests anymore BUT do not worry since I do watch every stream and do write down most of the clips. Like 95% of em. There is an almost certainty that I will post things. Eventually™️.

It’s just easier for me to wait for it to be uploaded to YouTube and go through it when I have time, due to the way I organize things.

kind of leaning into the iconoclast-is-the-playstyle-for-liberal-sentiments argument for leda but not in a "shes a niave bleeding heart" way but in the more accurate neoliberal "her kindness is actually pretty disengenous and self-serving when examined with any real scrutiny" way lol

One Punch Man characters who I think are similar to Genshin/ Honkai Star Rail characters (includes spoilers)

Starting with Drive Knight, I think he has quite a few similarities with Luocha and Dottore. Initially I was going to pair Luocha with Flashy Flash since they look similar and both wield swords, and I wanted to pair Metal Knight with Dottore, but I changed my mind.

For Luocha, the most obvious similarities he shares with Drive Knight that they both haul large, impractical objects with them whether they go; Drive Knight for his tactical transformations and Luocha carries a massive coffin for…delivery reasons?

They’re also very suspicious characters whose goals and allegiance are not obvious, Luocha has cleared up a bit but most of it is still up in the air. You could say the two of them have many versions of themselves as well: Drive Knight can transform with his tactical gear, and Luocha has variant selves in others games and universes (Otto).

As for Dottore, he's also rather mysterious despite it being clear he is morally messed up. They both dabble in experiments and capture beings for research purposes. Drive Knight does this so he can become stronger, which I think is linked to Dottore's reasonings, that is to elevate humans to the level of Gods. A case can also be made for whether or not they’re truly evil or just do things in the pursuit of strength of knowledge.

I would say Blast has the most resemblance to Capitano. Blast is the number one hero in the Hero Association, and Capitano is the number one Fatui Harbinger. Both are considered the strongest. Physically, both tower over their peers. Both are fighting for ‘greater’ causes against higher beings.

You could also say Blast is similar to Varka, personality wise they both seem rather relaxed but give off a powerful aura. They both also assist children in need (Tatsumaki for Blast, Razor and Rosaria for Varka) However, since Varka isn’t playable, and we haven't even got a face reveal, I went for Capitano instead.

Next is King who shares similarities with Bennett, Aventurine and Huo Huo. I think the first two are rather self explanatory,

Like King, for an unknown reason, Bennett has bad luck which is never bad enough for him to killed or graciously injured, and even sometimes works out in his favour. Even though King is always lucky enough to not be harmed, he is unfortunate enough to be constantly running into monsters against his will in the first place.

For Aventurine, both characters are associated with the number seven (it being King’s hero rank and Aventurine follow up attack requiring seven hits to activate). Aventurine’s absurd good luck also unwillingly comes with misfortunes of others, which you can argue also applies to King to a certain degree: he unintentionally takes credits for other heroes works, mainly Saitama’s, which leads to Saitama being seen as an inadequate hero to some. Sometimes people have to be hurt so King is spared.

For Huo Huo, both are stuck in careers that frighten them and cause much stress, but ultimately, both rise to the occasion and face their fears when it matters.

Amai Mask is also similar to quite a few characters, I don't want to list too many so I'm keeping it short.

Starting with the most simple similarity; both Robin and Amai Mask are famous and adored singers in their respective universes with cult followings.

Moving on to Furina, Amai and Furina are both performers, Furina primarily in theatre performances and Amai in shows/ movies. They also are forced to put on a façade that hides their true selves; Furina pretends to be a spoilt, and overdramatic Archon in order to protect Fontaine when in reality she's the complete opposite, Amai Mask acts like a vainglorious prick focused on fame and money but possesses a heroic soul he conceals to pull funding and support for the HA. (I think, its been a while)

Both are one of the few characters in their own media to have canon alternative looks: Furina with her Ousia and Pneuma forms which changes her hair and the colour of her clothes, Amai Mask with his changing hair cuts and colours, and his true monster form. It's said his physical features also change every few years and although the people in OPM chalk it up to plastic surgery, its just his shapeshifting abilities.

For Ayato, appearance wise, he’s similar to Amai with the blue hair and pretty boy look. Both are also some of the most stylish characters in their respective media's in my opinion. In addition, both possess influence in their respective circles: Amai excerices control over who joins the S Class and has power in the HA, Ayato has major political power and controls a secret ninja gang. Both are merciless and possess hidden strength; Amai Mask destroys anything he deems monster like, and Ayato disfigures assassins beyond comprehension, and literally runs a secret ninja gang to collect information across Tevyet.

Writing this, I realise Amai has some similarity with Argenti with their desire to wipe out anything they deem grotesque, but I've saved Argenti for someone else later on so I won't say anymore.

This may be odd but hear me out: Zombieman is a combination of Qiqi, Rosaria and Wriothesley. The most obvious being with Qiqi as they’re both zombies and thus are practically immortal.

For Rosaria, it was a toss up between her and Heizou as I don’t have enough space to pick both of them. Ultimately I went with Rosaria as she and Zombieman share an unnatural grey complexion. Both are also smokers and detectives, though that can describe Rosaria loosely. They are lone wolves who tend to stick out in their circles; Zombieman is technically a monster amongst heroes and Rosaria is only a nun in name and nothing more. They both conduct their own investigations for their own reasons, independent to who they work for.

Wriothesley was a last minute addition but I think Zombieman and Wriothesley are really similar. They also have soft spot for kids and are easygoing, but they both have a brutal side when pushed. I haven’t explained my reasoning well but the best way I can put it is like this: if you love Zombieman, chances are you will love Wriothelsey.

You could also say Zombeiman is similar to Collei due to sharing a past of being experimented on.

I had to swap the order for this as I think the HSR MC embodies both Saitama and Metal Bat. Although they don't have infinite strength like Saitama, the pair are distinct amongst their peers; Saitama broke his limiter and the MC has a stelleron inside them, granting them one of a kind strength and abilities. They both have a similar sense of humour, can be silly/lazy at times and both make funny facial expressions that are meme worthy. The MC and Saitama attract people rather easily and are often forced to tag along to help with other peoples problems. But you could just say that is a universal MC plight.

For Metal Bat, both he and the MC wield metal bats they use to smack people around with. Both are somewhat airheads at times as well. I thought I had more to say but it turns out I don't!

Finally we have Tank top master being similar to Itto and Argenti.

Both Tank Top Master and Itto run gangs that involve their ride or die hooligans buddies. They both just give off himbo energy which is why I paired them together. Another similarity is that they both get shown up repeatedly; Tatsumaki upstaged TTM and Kujou Sara bested Itto in a fight, both Itto and TTM decided they wanted to become stronger because of this.

Initially I was going to pair Argenti with Watchdog Man but I changed my mind as he is more similar to TTM. Both have ideologies they take to the extreme and swear grant them power; TTM with his tank tops and Argenti with his worship of the Aeon of beauty. Their crazed beliefs have both saved them from death; TTM's tank top resuscitated him, Argenti swears up and down that he see's Idrilla when he's on deaths doorstep and that somehow has repeatedly helped him overcome peril.

Personality wise, both are kind and chivalrous individuals that love to rave about their ideals and are always happy for people to join their cause.

I plan on making a second part to this post soon. I already know which characters I'll match Genos, Tatsumaki and Fubuki to and I have an idea for Sonic and Flashy Flash. If anyone has any recommendations or disagree with my picks let me know!

Photo taken during climate action protest in Canberra, January 2020, featuring another of ScoMo’s tone deaf quotes - ‘thankfully we’ve had no loss of life’ - from that ill-fated small town PR tour.

"Yes, two, that's quite right. I was thinking about firefighters really," said Morrison, before expressing his "sincere condolences" for the 27 lives lost during the ongoing disaster.

Officially, 33 people were ultimately killed directly by fires that summer with another estimated 445 people dying from smoke inhalation.

Meanwhile the PM fucked off to Hawaii on holiday.

I am still incandescent with rage.

I just spent some time scrolling through this blog and am suffering from sever laughter. Thanks so much for collating the countries craziest moments. One of my favourites is when Scott Morrison was in Hawaii while the bushfires where burning.

December 2019: As Australia's east coast is engulfed in the worst bushfires in living memory, rumours begin to circulate that Australia's Prime Minister Scott Morrison may have secretly fucked off for a holiday in Hawaii.

Keep in mind, this is what is going down in Australia at the time:

The Hawaii rumour is initially written off as a fringe conspiracy, because surely nobody could be that fuckin tonedeaf, and it was quickly forgotten about... until an Australian man visiting Hawaii UPLOADED A SELFIE ON THE BEACH WITH THE PM THROWING A SHAKA.

At which point all hell broke loose.

Overnight the formerly popular "Scomo" became the most despised man in all of Australia. Think "firefighters shouting out of their windows to news cameras" level of despised.

After about two days of radio silence and pretending like he was still at home running the country, the Prime Minister's handlers finally dragged him onto call with an Australian radio station, where he pinky promised to return to Australia as fast as he could in an attempt to calm things down.

Unfortunately Scott's empathy consultant (a real job) then had to watch Scott pour more gasoline on the dumpster fire by uttering the now famous phrase "Look I don't hold a hose mate" when asked by the radio interviewer why the fucking fuck the fuckhead wasn't fucking in Australia doing his fucking job during a massive fucking crisis.

Testing just how much worse things could get, Scomo then proceeded to NOT rush back to Australia as promised, instead attempting to complete the rest of his holiday, a fact that was exposed when a passerby snapped a picture of him still lounging on the beach two days later.

Eventually, holiday complete, Morrison did reluctantly slink back to Australia, and in an attempt to calm things down, he decided to pay a visit to a small town that had been destroyed by the fires.

Which was a big mistake.

Scomo still had not registered how absolutely and totally he had screwed the poodle with his Hawaiian beach vacation, and he walks into what is now taught in PR classes as one of the greatest examples of "what not do do in a crisis" in all of history.

Scotty from Marketing, as he is now dubbed by the nation, spends a painfully cringe-inducing hour wandering around a burned down town with TV news cameras in tow, having to FORCE PEOPLE TO SHAKE HIS HAND in what is some of the most awkward footage you will ever see.

At this point it's probably also worth mentioning that, before becoming Prime Minister, Scott Morrison's biggest claim to fame in politics was being the guy that was so far up the coal lobby's arse that he literally brought coal into parliament and waved it around, claiming it doesn't hurt people.

So when a protest was organised it turned out to be one big national fuck you to the Prime Minister, the likes of which the world has never seen before or since.

Needless to say, at this point Scomo's career was dead in the water, but thanks to the rules brought in to stop Australian political parties from knifing their leader every two weeks (a popular Aussie passtime) Morrison basically couldn't get fired until after the next election.

And so, when the election rolled around in 2022, we decided that was an opportune time to travel over to Hawaii to erect this bad boy tribute to the Prime Minister, on the very beach where Scomo had sat and drank margaritas that one fateful week in December as Australia burned (thanks to @chaser for funding the ticket)
