So I started watching she ra (finally) and I'm on season 3 and I actually really like it! The animation can be a bit funky at times but it adds to the charm and I really like the little blushies across the cheeks of every character (I kind of want to try that out now)
Anyway I love Entrapta and Hordak and I ship them so hard
#ill keep this in the tags but rn Catra really gets on my nerves#right now thats the point#and i know she gets redeemed and ends up with Adora#but i hope her redemption arc is good#because most of the stuff that she says#i cant help but roll my eyes at#most of the voice acting is really good#and then sometimes a new character is introduced#and im like#LOL???? THATS THEIR VOICE????#and the action scenes can be a bit stunted#they lack a certain OOMPH behind a lot of what they do#BUT overall i like the show#however#i hate the intro song#but thats just personal opinion#what can ya do

Dazai who changed his life's path because of a dead friend's last words who encouraged him to make his world more beautiful.
Sasaki who was haunted by her lover's, the Azure King, mission, even after he perished by his own hand, continuing to carry it out despite her being exhausted by this ultimately meaningless mission she gave herself.
Mushitarou, who turned himself into a villain so his friend's last wish could become true, and then sacrificed everything he had left to make sure the secret would be kept.
Fukuzawa, whose friend left him with the weight of the world on his shoulders with his last breath, wishing for Fukuzawa to lead a new world order of peace.
Verlaine, who lives half a life after it was granted to him at all by a friend he didn't really consider to be one until it was already too late to say thank you or sorry.
There's also Aya, haunted by the perfect image her father kept of her departed mother and sister; Chuuya, who so often makes decisions to honour those he lost; Atsushi, who was haunted by the ghost of the Headmaster; Akutagawa, who is haunted by Dazai's lack of recognition and absence; Rimbaud, who was permanently cold from the distance he put between himself and Verlaine without realizing...
Just... bsd and grief and the weight of expectations from someone who's not even there to be proud or proven wrong.
#i'm having thoughts and emotions#we could make this list longer probably#it *will* get longer as new characters get introduced i'm sure#bsd#bungou stray dogs#bungo stray dogs#apparently i talk sometimes#stormbringer spoilers#storm bringer spoilers#sb spoilers#bsd spoilers#idk it's not in the manga yet i guess it's spoilers??

we need to make suggesting someone skip the first three seasons of mash as taboo as suggesting someone skip the ninth doctor
#killing biting maiming etc#if they're not your thing fine. whatever. you're wrong but it's fine#but if nothing else you're depriving new viewers of vital context that makes later emotional arcs more impactful#like. why should you give a shit about the first ten minutes of welcome to korea if you don't know who trapper is#hell you wouldn't know who hawkeye is!! the first episode is first for a reason it's there to introduce you to the characters + setting#or even the season 2 opener would be a better place to start since that's just the pilot done better#i won't pretend the early seasons are perfect but saying mash got good after season 3 is. well frankly it's stupid#this debate has been done to death but sometimes i'll see a take and go hang on did we watch the same show or do you just not get satire or#mash#my posts

hello this question has been burning and idk who else to ask but I want to get into magireco but idk how. and ik its shutting down but do you know if there are like. archived stories or anything
I dont mind if you dont answer this cause its so random but if you do then thanks in advance
[AUTISM ACTIVATED]
okay so you can watch pretty much (almost) everything on youtube, including a bunch of fan-translations of post-NA server content. but you'll wanna start with the arc 1 main story (you can watch the prologue here and chapter 1 here--there are 10 chapters of arc 1 in total) but there's also the "another story" side chapters (basically showing the main story events from the POV of the original pmmm cast and offering additional context. and boob jokes.)
there's ALSO short side stories for nearly every playable character and event stories (listed in release order here)
it's definitely a huge amount of content (almost 7 years' worth...sob...) and can be overwhelming for a newcomer but the only REQUIRED reading is the main story, so just stick with that to start and you'll be fine
or you could...uh...watch the anime... but it's, uh, kinda... it has...some issues, so... maybe not...
#the manga is good though#not comix#magia record#imagine if mekakucity actors introduced a completely new anime-original character in the first episode#and like all the promo material for it made a huge deal of this awesome new character. whoa! who is she?!#but then she disappears for most of the rest of the show and isn't really important at all#i imagine it sometimes. i imagine it and weep.

My brain just hit an old hyperfixation (is this what it's called? I hope I used the word right) and oh dear am I losing my mind now. I need to write a story I think. About this one old guy. He's unhinged. There's so much information about him and yet not enough. I want to explore his character so much. He's definitely a criminal - at least he was one - and I'm 95% sure he can do actual real magic, and he's a musician and an artist and an actor and a magician and a philosopher and a traveler and a conman and so much more and also I think he's some kind of immortal. Maybe he just has a VERY long life. It's strongly implied he was a pirate at some point of his life. He started a cult by accident several times. My conspiracy theories about him include him being a secret god.
He's also a freaking round blue raven. Someone save me from my mind.
#seriously why is he so cool#he's like. a ball.#he's ROUND#if no one stops me I'm gonna make an au and introduce all my mutuals to a russian cartoon that lives in my head rent-free#it has an obviously mysterious old man and an old woman who seems to be very normal but actually has some weird past as well#and they're in love you can fight me on this THEY. ARE. IN LOVE.#there's a disastrous scientist who keeps forgetting to sleep and is kinda cute in a nerdy way#there's a mechanic guy who lives a bit away from everyone surrounded by tech and he's actually unhinged#he's a single father btw. he made a robot baby because he was lonely. it's very important for his character.#I WILL ship the scientist and the mechanic because no one can stop me <3#there's a local farmer who was a famous disco dancer an archeologist and a VERY famous actor in the past. he doesn't care about it anymore.#he was like. Captain America actor kind of famous. or Superman.#and then he just committed a bunch of crimes for his new friends and left to live in a village far away from big cities#all those people with very suspicious past raise a bunch of children together#absolutely inseparable adhd and autism best friends boys who I think are capable of destroying the world#and toxic teenagers couple:#a girl who honestly needs to figure herself out first before dating anyone and a poet boy who is SO deeply in love with her it's not okay#the farmer dude also has a rebellious teenager niece who visits him sometimes#and the mechanic's kid is usually in space but sometimes returns and I am not ashamed to admit that I cried during some of those episodes#I am going to think about them. they are so important to me.#I am going insane.#also yes they are all round animals. if you're wondering.#someone just tranquillise me already or something. it's 5 a.m. and I am losing my sanity

about that most iconic fighting game protag. it’s so weird every time i see how popular gg is and then like. no one cares. you never see gg merch at cons and like. gg doesn’t get in smash at all it’s like. damn
Guilty Gear's in this weird spot where it was decently "big" over in Japan since day 1 but was this strange, quirky, underground thing here in the west until Strive where suddenly it's the headliner game at major tournaments like EVO. I think the Sammy-Sega merger putting the entire franchise into IP hell for most of the 2010s didn't help too... Maybe if that had never happened we would have gotten a GG character into Smash...
Strive really has kicked the frontdoor down here in the west though. I bet the amount of GG merch at cons and stuff is going to go way up between now and the next game in the series haha
also I don't think most other fighting games have a community on here the same way GG does? and following my blog is like being exposed to the elephant's foot of GG content rofl so there may be some kind of data bias there hahahah
#asks#The Sammy-Sega merger happened around Overture (2005?) when Sega bought out Sammy who was the publisher for GG games#Something happened with that where ASW had to go through Sega to make GG games and they didn't have access to all the IP during that time#So that's how we got Blazblue and Overture and why Overture introduced so many new characters#Sega shat the bed sometime around 2013 and sold off a bunch of IPs and ASW was able to buy back the rights to Guilty Gear#....and then ASW bravely decided to kickstart the series with a pachislot machine. Let's goooooo Vastedge !

i go back and forth a lot on my interpretations of ats s5, ie. what parts of spike are 'in character' or not, but the one thing that stays constant is my belief that spike and angel fucking would have fixed most of this.
#not that it would have fixed their problems i just mean it would introduce new problems that i would find entertaining as a viewer#anyways i don't like saying a character would NOT say/do that but sometimes i'm not sure if he (spike) SHOULD do that#in terms of showing off the more interesting parts of a character while also carving out a unique arc/dynamic for him on a new tv show#ats rw#i think what's misunderstood about spike is that he's NOT a solo sigma male lone vigilante bad boy action hero#like i think angel is actually the one who has a history of isolating himself#but spike is your friend who always has to be in a relationship (which i think btvs got correct with harmony)#idk. i think oz has that line in btvs where he's like 'i gotta go do that guy thing where i isolate myself now'#and i think that gets transposed onto spike when he goes on the 'guy show' doing 'guy things'#and then kinda blended up with the tension that many of the guys on ats experience between#being a tough guy capable of doing things on his own versus the desire to belong in a crew#but like. that's not a 'guy' thing that applies to all men. that's a thing that certain individuals experience. and spike is not one of the#like i don't think spike cares about how he fits in with society or the collective but i think he DOES care about how individuals#he's close to perceive him#anyways. today on 'reading too much into a tv show that stopped airing 20 years ago'#i gotta make a separate post about this#buffyposting

now how about pet names they use 🥺 (referring to nick and sunny)
im assuming that nick uses them at least a little based off one of your comics
That IS a thing I've thought about before ! A lot !! Unfortunately I don't draw a lot of comics and therefore there aren't many written traces of the way Nick or Sunny talk — Tosteur (@tosteur-gluteal) has drawn a bunch of Arsenic-related comics, though, and since we talk about Nick a lot he tends to be very accurate with characterization :] You'll find them if you scroll down the '#fanart' tag
Nick tends to use kind of old-timey or formal nicknames. The way he talks in general is very formal, so sometimes he might sound like he's straight out of a Jane Austen novel when just... talking casually in practice. He calls Sunny things like dear, sweetheart (sunshine is an obvious one), love... But you won't catch him dead calling Sunny "babe"
Nick uses a lot of nicknames and pet names and tends to use them more than the person's actual name (most of the time it's because he doesn't care for the person, only for the abstract concept of a lover). He calls Sunny "dear" more than he calls him Sunny, on average, though it's not like he never uses his name, either.
Sunny's more of a nickname person himself, rather than a pet name person. The name "Nick", or even "Arsenic", is kinda his thing at the start, since Nick went by Basil before meeting him. Sunny's not a very verbally affectionate person, so he doesn't tend to use pet names very often, and when he does, he feels quite awkward about it.
#fanart#<- for scrolling purposes#out of curiosity i went and looked at the times that nick's called sunny a pet name and. sire enough almost all instances are from tosteur#i'm not very good at drawing comics and frankly don't enjoy it very much. i'm not good at composition...#if i'm writing then i'm writing and if i'm drawing then i'm drawing. i dont like mixing the two.#you might've noticed that 90% of all comics i've ever made on this blog (arsenic related or not) have empty speech bubbles#just to. suggest the idea of a dialogue. but i don't really enjoy writing comics with text very much.#i've made a few..! sometimes it's necessary when introducing a new character to an audience yknow#but. it's really not my thing. i'd rather just answer asks and draw illustrations and get the vibe across that way#ask#anon#arsenic

...Ew the Walmart version of Marinette who was just introduced for literally no reason is making people compare her to Alya.
..whatever her name is cuz I refuse to spell it better not be another replacement Alya in yalls shitty little salty 'Alyas Lilas attack dog' bullshit fics istg.
I should HOPE we've left all of those lack luster tropes behind. (Especially Saltinette, literally she's the worst of them)
Anyways, S..isnt better than Alya. Marinette can have TWO(2) Bffs you lames.
S would love Alya and be glad Marinette has a new friend and Marinette would be overjoyed to introduce these two. Cmon now bffr
#j.p speaks#miraculous ladybug#i will never actually say her name#yall know who im talking about#mlb fandom#alya cesaire#marinette dupain cheng#the same way i feel about Zoe is how i feel about her: characters that shouldve either been introduced a while ago#or not at all if theyre presence holds such importance#it just seems..late to add a new random old friend who Marinette never mentions ever despite the 'affect' she left on her?? idk#..i also dislike her cuz shes so damn ugly to me. THE GLASSES ARE UGLY. GOD DAMMIT at least Zoes cute.#sometimes the character design in this show#bothers me idk why. the kids in the show and Alyas older sister are also..butt ugly. im sorry

im gonna be 'that guy' for a second
the comments in warnergames that got everybody so upset are not a big deal and actually pretty in character? what is the big fuss
#delete later probably#i know were all used to fandom goggles after eons of waiting for the new season but#a) the warners are siblings who if youve ever been around irl often regularly gently playbully one another#b) this isnt even a new thing the reboot introduced#c) you can love someone and be a dick from time to time its okay#we all know yakko and dot would kill each other at the slightest inconvenience#hell dot HAS killed yakko onscreen#and#d) oh my god it literally does not matter theyre cartoon characters belonging to a company known for its rude and meanspirited humor#not that its bad to react strongly when a character you like gets shat on but sometimes its like idk take a moment to step back

Maybe this is me being bitter because of 10+ moves in my childhood but I'm always a bit disappointed and see it as a cop-out when children's shows tease the main family moving and then don't follow through
#wren rambles#this is mostly about bluey i think#havent seen the new episodes so im not sure if theyre actually following through with it#but it just feels like a bit of a slap in the face to me#girl meets world did this as well#idk man there's just something about seeing characters be afraid of leaving everything behind#and then not facing that fear#the general message is 'its best for the kids to stay behind with their friends'#but. is it?#does that mean i didnt have the best childhood i could have?#idk man. i think it would be interesting to see them commit#like yeah it would mess up the entire status quo of the show and have to introduce new characters and all#but like. i think it would mean a lot to kids like me who never stayed in one place for long to see their struggles addressed#sometimes you DO have to move and leave everything behind#and sometimes it IS good.#and sometimes its horrible and sucks but thats still life

We complain a lot about bad adaptations and unnecessary changes but shoutout to when the writers of an adaptation make a change that makes the adaptation so much better than if they'd just directly copied the original
#even if the original is really good!#sometimes stuff just doesnt translate well between mediums or even time periods#changing that characters gender/race/sexuality/whatever better conveys the cultural context of their description in the original story#because those stereotypes have shifted and modern audiences wont pick up on the subtext that was originally there#internal monolgues work great in books! not so much in movies#so add another character that they can talk to or a flashback to make it more visually interesting#we have way less time so condense those subplots! merge those characters! cut that laggy bit in the middle!#take the characters introduced way later in the serialized story and put them in the background from the start#in-universe they were there the whole time so you might as well include them#these jokes dont translate so replace them with different jokes the new audience will actually get#love it when they change stuff on purpose and it works

what kinda fighting must have gone down in the supernatural writers team to decide whether having gay people was okay or not. i think in the end they tossed a coin twice each time they wanted to have gay people one to decide if they would have gay people and a second time to decide if they were going to do it in a homophobic way. except for when castiel got to be gay which they left up to jensen ackles for normal reasons
#supernatural#thing#like first of all spend years and years being a hater -> gay people are okay now -> lesbian friend but no gay men hashtag no gay men#show's too gay -> never show gay people kissing -> shows too homophobic now -> make all new young women introduced gay#ONE gay man... SOMETIMES -> show's too gay -> one off character CANNOT wear a pride shirt hashtag hate wins ->#-> castiel gay question mark
