On some Japanese social issues I had learned about at uni and abroad):

(Rb ok!)

Legit had an epiphany about the true hidden meaning of the last arc of Mob Psycho 100. It’s hella projection but for real there is nothing neurotypical about Mob or Mob Psycho. I do not wish to enforce my interpretation on others (ironic bc I do that all the time but this is a serious social theory). There are some interesting and very sad social issues in Japan that the west really doesn’t understand but would I think help people understand a lot of context behind not only Mob Psycho, but also a lot of other anime. I learned this at my shitty university (prestigious but horrific) and while studying abroad in Japan and talking with Japanese peers. Get ready here we go (and tw for bullying and darker things):

Unfortunately in East Asian education systems, bullying can be extremely intense. Growing up I assumed it was over exaggerated extremely in anime for drama but it really can be so horrific. From what I’ve heard, there is often a single kid or so who is just shit on by everyone else, even the teacher. Mogami land *is* the reality of some Japanese kids. I’ve read that in Korea, this social punching bag sometimes is just the darkest skinned person (yayyy colorism /angry) and or someone who does not fit in. I mean, we have that in America too, but maybe not as common for the bullying to be as focused on one misfit rather than several. These kids just can’t escape the stigma too, kids from other schools find out they were a major victim at their old school and it starts anew. Thus there is so much stigma and incentive to join in on bullying so you aren’t the one. Sadly, this also ofc leads to higher suicide rates. That’s where the “shoe on building roof” anime trope comes in, bc somehow taking off shoes is relayed to death (I forgot why sorry)

There is a difference in how intense in general high school vs college is too. In the West, commonly college is the more intense curriculum and is harder than high school, but in Japan it’s usually the opposite. Grind suuuupppeeerrrr hard for entrance exams (huge standardized tests that determines what college you can qualify to) bc unlike the ACT or SAT here, that test is by far the most important factor for college admission. Then chill and relax a bit in college. Can’t relate. Name and prestige is very critical for job application, more important than here. That’s why planning out your future is sooo much more intense for Japanese high schoolers than in America, and why there is sooo much more pressure to excel in high school than here. Japanese school years and holidays are done different than ours, I’d suggest looking it up.

Social prestige of going to an American high school or college is nuts. Like whyyy do you value our shitty education, Japan’s is much higher quality (it’s bc we neo colonized them). Being able to speak English is very, very highly valued and any association with Americans make you cooler. From my experience, some Japanese students got very excited to practice speaking English with us, and their biggest issues with learning it is pronunciation, lmao. Wasai english is unique slang that is indeed English words but it’s kinda different and it’s kinda jarring to remember lol. So, Teru having parents that are working overseas isn’t too uncommon, idk about leaving him absolutely alone, but I did have a ex-friend who just came from Japan in middle school who’s situation probably wasn’t too far off from that. Empty wealth with no love, it’s no wonder those kind of people can end up being huge bullies (minori?)

I did a presentation on 引きこもり(hikikomori) for which means “shut in”, (like Serizawa) and it’s fucked up. It’s a social phenomena where according to some Japanese researchers a mix of undisciplined parenting, guilt/not living up to expectations, and hopelessness makes an alarming amount of youth/ young adults literally never go out side their house/room. Often a parent is “enabling” the behavior by supporting them, but idk the articles seemed a bit victim-blaming to me when I read it, but I don’t think I should make a judgement too hard, not my place. I will say I do suspect and believe I read something to support that ASD might play a role in hikikomoris (there is pitiful resources for autistic people in Asia, much much less support than even here, to the point I don’t think most know it exists). Like come on, with the other points I laid out my personal opinion as an Asian American with autism is that it really seems it’s unknowing ableism against autistic classmates, but I didn’t grow up in Asia so I don’t want to say.

Mental health in general is tragically quite abysmal in Japan, and with it being so hyper competitive and brutal work culture, it’s no surprise birth rate in Japan is so low; some Japanese young adults say it seems unethical to bring a life to such hostile world. Suicide rate is of the highest in the world. It’s fucked, I’ve interacted with some of the locals in Tokyo and they were so nice, but the business men just looked dead inside, it’s so sad.

Relationships between child and parent is also strained bc of this intense work and school culture. Quality time is too scarce when you gotta work so much. And the pressure from parents to do well in education or else you might end up socially stigmatized is rough. Bc your job is who you are, it’s hyper capitalism (thanks us for making them do this)

With autism being so unknown, support for parents in raising autistic kids is almost nonexistent. What happens if the “darker” side of ASD shows up in kids? I used to be a menace when I had meltdowns, I felt so bad but really just became so indiscriminately violent. See where this is going? Legit, I think ESP is a sort of metaphor for neurodivergance to ONE. There is so much stigma around it, and even less way for kids to understand why they are different than the others. My Korean family can’t admit we all got ASD, too much fear and internalized shame.

I got finally diagnosed with ASD as an adult and I’ll tell ya, I relate too much to Mob hurting Ritsu. I felt so bad, but also not in control, I knew what I was doing but not how to stop. Luckily, is was blessed in that my hyperfixations involved science and logic, so I did well at school. Sadly, our boy Mob just don’t got the passion or ability to do well at school. His kanji is very bad, even to point of not being confident he wrote a kanji (世) they learn when they are 9, in elementary school (thanks @katyatalks). Him being a bit berated by his parents for having bad grades and bending spoons seems harsh to Westerners I think, but IMO it’s pretty tame from what I’ve seen of some Asian parents (I get to say that lmao). Ofc, however the shaming is very real and Mob just agreeing with them about how weird and stupid he thinks he is so sad. There is even more pressure for the eldest to be better than here, I feel from some interactions. Nonetheless, it’s implied Mob is quite emotionally detached from his parents, even though he loves them, which also adds to his emotional complex. Combined with originally fragile self esteem and feelings of worthlessness, we got one emotionally stunted boy. However, contrary to common belief people with ASD are sometimes hyper empathic and experience emotions very intensely. We are prone to having “meltdowns” which if not assisted with can be quite violent if very intense. For me, my worse meltdowns as a kid came from when I didn’t understand why I wasn’t getting what I wanted, it seemed selfish and cruel of me but I couldn’t control it. I wanted to be a good kid, so why did hit my moms leg at target when she refused to buy me Pokémon toys? I couldn’t come up with a good reason for why my mind just commanded my body to do bad things, just a single thought was controlling me, I want I want I want I want I want ____. Which I argue could be what ???% represents… bc well…. Yeah….. hmm….. not in control of self (mob unconscious), selfish (not actually, I’ve forgave myself but my “normal” kid self was so ashamed), destructive, hurt family, wanting to stop but can’t, that’s kind of…. Too relatable.

But legit, since realizing my new HC, I’ve started to think of the last chapter of mp100 when I “explode” and it helps me feel better and I do gain “control” a bit easier. I don’t feel so bad anymore either, Mob!

I've been thinking a lot about your last "Lando sucks 😡" anon and I need to talk about something. I'm a member of a huge McLaren group on facebook, it has over 40,000 members. It can be categorised into three groups: McLaren fans, Lando fans and Daniel fans. I'm part of the first two, and as a McLaren fan I want Daniel to do well. I don't go out of my way to look for gifs of him or spend hours watching anything DR related on youtube, like I do with Lando 😅 The past couple of years were a lot of fun in this group. There were a lot of Carlos fans that migrated back in 2018 but everything was civil and the atmosphere was great. Fast forward to 2020 when DR fans migrated over and the group is a war zone. People make posts legitimately criticising DR and they're slammed as disgusting fake fans (some of the posts are def too much but those are called out by everyone). No one can post anything about Lando without being told they're plastic fan girls who don't support the whole team. 50% of the comments on Lando posts are: "Danny will wipe the floor with him when he gets used to the car" (Is this the only phrase they know?), "The car is designed for Lando, ofc Danny is having a hard time", "Danny has won SEVEN races, talk to me when Lando has won anything" (Just for comparison it took DR 4 seasons to get his first podium which also happened in a Red Bull which was a top 2 car through his stint there. With this I'm def not saying he wasn't real good back then because he was. Red Bull Danny was top tier imo), And the new favorite of the group, with 5 articles being shared every hour is ---> "Lando is a pay driver. His dad pays him so McLaren doesn't have to. That's why he's at McLaren, because it's cheap for them. He wouldn't even be in F1 if it wasn't for daddy dearest. He couldn't even win in F2, Russell is much better than him" (and they always manage to bring Russell into it like??? ok? and has he not grown since then?? is he not a better driver now than he was in 2018?? Russell won F2 and Lando is currently doing better in F1, can two things not be true at the same time? George had the better car in F2, Lando has the better car in F1 🤷‍♀️) "McLaren are giving Danny a much worse car than Lando, they're sabotaging him!!!!" Like sir or madam, you think a team is paying DR £15,000,000 just to put him in a worse car so a 21 year old gremlin (who is allegedly being paid £2,000,000!!?) can one up him? Isn't it possible, even just slightly possible that yes Lando has been in the car longer, and yes he's helped design it but that also he's gotten better? That he has the drive and desire to become the best he can? That the thought, and reality, of having DR as a teammate actually made him push himself more? Or maybe, god forbid, he's actually better than DR? Let me tell you, I've learned to spot an Australian a mile away in any comment section, and they're not as laidback as they'd like you to believe, at least not F1 fans. Oh, and the newest thing (and it's on twitter and tumblr also) is that DR is being emotionally abused and exploited by the engineers and the social media team. I'd be more concerned about Checo and the way he's being treated at RB than DR any day of the week.

This really turned into an essay, I should've bought a diary instead 😭

yeh ive always found that dan fans seem to be the most argumentative and rude if you even say one negative thing about him. or even if you just compliment lando without even mentioning dan they get offended, i constantly have anons come to my inbox telling me how much better dan is than lando but unfortunately for them they can waste their breath as much as they want the talking is done on track as all the drivers like to say. and while lando is barrelling down the road screaming dan is listening to classic fm driving like my nan.

i always find it a stupid argument to be like oh well dan scored 7 wins over 10 years so he’s clearly better than lando who has never won but only been in the sport 3 years even though dan has had 2 podiums the past 3 years and lando has had 4, 3 of which have been while dan was his teammate. like they pick and choose when they want the argument to be valid.

the whole mclaren sabotage thing i just find hilarious because as you say the team spend so much money on him and for what just do they can sabotage and lose more money and get lower in constructors cause yeh that makes a lot of sense. i reckon part of the reason lando has improved so much on last year is because of the fact dan came to mclaren and not in a “the teams favouring him” way but because EVERYONE thought dan would beat him so he got his head down over the break and during game the season and worked hard so that he could be the best he’s ever been.

also last year carlos was beating lando in the same car that dan can’t and i know drivers have different things they like on the car but the mclaren isn’t only drivable by lando which is what lots of people try to make it out to be. and it’s always “when dan gets used to the car” as if it’s not been 11 races already and then “oh he’s back on form” when he scores a p6 or higher which is mad to me cause like that’s not the “on form” dan that his fans seem to constantly go on about since he’s future wdc but then they think p6 is his “on form” which makes zero sense. and then he’ll go back to being “off form” and it’s “oh mclarens sabotaging him” “he could have won if xyz didn’t happen” they’re all just delusional with they’re arguments most of the time too

also i wanna clear up i’ve never once sat here and said dan’s a shit driver cause that wouldn’t be true but dan fans are stuck still believing dan’s in his prime when it’s just not true anymore. they need to realise that other drivers are coming into the sport and with that dan needs to grow as to not just be a midfield driver who’s past his prime.

Is it okay to ask for advice? Is it normal that I like .. when I see a character I feel their gender? like if I see a cute girl I’ll be like “I feel so much like a girl rn she/her are the best pronouns I’m so cute” but then I could easily turn around and see a boy and go “me I feel so he/they rn I feel like a boy and I’m happy abt it” like what does this mean... I’m rlly confused bc I feel like my pronouns and feeling on my gender change so much.. like I will feel really wlw at one time then mlm at the next and I want to embrace both but it won’t make sense to people... am I not rlly trans? obviously this isn’t the only reason I think I’m trans I’m just saying that this is rlly confusing me idk if anyone else experiences this.. it’s like I want to be all of these genders at once .. I feel like a different person! it doesn’t make any sense .. what is happening? it’s like I don’t have a solid grasp on my identity it just changes with these characters and I make these characters into my identity unconsciously and I can’t help it?? idk if that makes sense I will use a character as an icon and I’m like .. this is gender ... this is me... and it’s not that I relate to the characters at all I really feel different a different person and that it’s always changing so idk who I am?

Ofc you can ask for advice! Needless to say, gender is a complicated beast, but it isn't this whole concrete thing folks make it out to be.

To make that more clear, even in the trans community people tend to think of gender in boxes. Male, female, even if they're accepting of nonbinary people, it's just more familiar to add a third box rather than changing your perspective on gender as a whole. But, it really is more of a spectrum, and sometimes you might move around on that spectrum.

Personally I'm not nonbinary, or genderfluid in any sense, so I can't speak from experience here and I can't say that this speaks to everyone's, or even anyone's experiences, but from my understanding what you're describing sounds like genderfluid (or bigender, or a whole plethora of nonbinary identities). Our understanding of gender paints it as though it's some concrete thing, you sign up for something and you stick with it your whole life, and for some people that's right, but it isn't bad for your identity to grow and change as you do.

Relating to fictional characters was a really huge step for me early in my questioning days and early on. In order to understand myself and my identity I found it easier to go through a conduit, a lot of people do. It's normal to do that, it's healthy to use fiction to work through things, to try things out.

But all that aside, what you're going through is just plain questioning. It's normal, and you're gonna be just fine, you aren't "faking" anything you aren't "lying" to anyone, you're exploring your gender and it's confusing, as gender often is. The trick is to do whatever makes you feel most comfortable. You like she/her pronouns today, awesome, we'll use she/her! He/they right now? Easy peasy, let me correct myself real quick. Changing the words to how you identify does not invalidate you as trans. Who you are isn't really changing, how you understand yourself is, and that's a beautiful thing!

What will make this better for you is time, which I know is a really frustrating answer but bear with me here. It's normal to not understand your identity, especially as a teenager (I'm assuming cuz you're following me you're a teenager?? sorry if you're not lol), gender or otherwise. Try out different things! Don't be afraid to switch labels if one doesn't fit or stops fitting. You'll figure it out, you will!!

What you need to be a real trans person is to identify as trans, as in identify as a gender different from your gender assigned at birth. My advice is to take off everything. Don't think of yourself as cis or trans or your agab or a comfort character, try and think about just plain you. How do you feel outside of all that? Getting a better grasp on that will help you with your gender, it certainly helped me :)

And remember that no matter where you end up, if you decide you're nonbinary, bigender, agender, genderfluid, binary trans, or even cis, your experiences are valid. Maybe you're into doing gender more as a costume or performance, like when people do drag. Try it out!

Right now you are figuring out who you are. Don't sweat it, it will come to you over time. Nothing you're feeling or doing is abnormal or weird or bad, you're just growing, and you'll come out the other side better for it.

I hope this all makes sense, it's late and I'm tired and ramble-y and I'm not sure this all makes sense, I just want you to know anon, it's gonna be okay. Seriously, you're gonna be fine, the distress you're feeling now will go away, you just need time and whatnot. Feel free to send in another ask or dm me or whatever you need to do if you've got anything else to ask or to talk about, I'll do my best! Also in the morning I'll rb this post with the @s of some enby, genderfluid, just people who are much more well spoken and knowledgeable in this than I am so you can get some other perspectives and shit.

just wantecd to get this posted asap so again, sorry if this isnt clear or anything, i'll be happy to clarify however you need. i hope you have a good night/day/afternoon/evening whatever timezone youre in. im gonna go to bed now but i /should/ be back on early tomorrow morning. no real gurantee tho sorry haha. but i will answer your asks as soon as i can i prommy

why do ppl paint ‘big’ blogs as the ‘bad guys’? :\ lately i’ve been seeing this... along with ppl sending anon hate to ccs (maybe they're related who knows). i am a 'small' nobody blog but it really bums me out seeing this type of division mentality. we're already struggling with the like/rb ratios, do we really have to turn on each other (not to sound like a dramatic arse). me, shouting into the void: all ccs are valid, this is not a competition! i know how frustrating it can be not to get the interaction but let’s just support each other as much as possible! not everyone is going to vibe with your work (i don’t expect everyone to vibe with mine)! so try to find people who do and pay no attention to the rest! (this is easier said than done but if we enjoy what we do we have to try, right?) saying that, ofc this doesn’t apply to every situation because obviously everyone is going through different things, but this is just in general. bottom line i love and support all you fellow ccs ty for all that you do (including you) <3 (you don’t have to publish this as it might attract unnecessary attention but i’m just so tired and maybe a little half asleep 🛌)

To be honest with you, personally, I haven’t seen anyone talking about ‘big blogs’ like they’re the bad guys in a looong while? But if you’re seeing this happening now I’m not really sure what the reason for this is. The division really existed around 2017/18 when I was starting making gifs and there really was a lot of ‘big blogs’ who honestly were treated like celebs, and back then they only reblogged your post when it already had around 1k notes or only reblogged it if one of their friends did it first. That’s just what I experienced back then, but now there’s maybe 2 ‘big blogs’ in this fandom and from what I’ve seen they support new/small ccs too. But I definitely agree that all ccs are valid and that we need to support each other!

What's your opinion over Utopia? i have seen till episode 3 and i would stop watching if it wasn't for Cory Michael Smith, in my opinion the English one was a lot better , i wasn't huge fan of its characters but the story and directing was over the top and don't get me started about the phenomenal music scores by Cristobal tapia De Veer the same person who wrote the original music of Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, the Amazon's Utopia is not as good as the older one was in many things and maybe i am rushing to judgement since i haven't finished all season but i don't believe my opinion will change, love Cory though he is amazing as Thomas Christie.

Other than a vague memory of knowing I enjoyed it, I have no recollection of the original uk Utopia at all, I watched it so long ago!

So that likely helped my enjoyment of the Amazon version, because I simply have nothing to compare it to (and on the whole music... is not that important to me, so I doubt I'd have even noticed that the original show had a better score, even if I did remember it! Soz, I'm just... bad at music).

So upshot is, I DID enjoy the Amazon Utopia, even without Cory. I grew quite fond of the other characters (aside from Thomas' dad, perhaps, I wasn't so interested in him). I liked how none of them were really good or innocent (save for the kids! And I esp enjoyed the evolving relationship between Grant and Alice - did you meet Alice yet? - and their relationship with Jessica).

Post episode three you start getting more exploration of the antagonists too - Arby (RB?) starts to develop and doubt/question his 'purpose', which I found interesting, you meet more members of the organisation/family, and there's a bit of exploration of how brainwashing / being raised in a cult affects your understanding of the world and if you can really ever be fully desensitized from emotion/empathy/love etc (Jessica's character/chatacterisation/development is a lot about that too and there's one moment between Thomas and his father that relates to the theme that struck me in particular, but I won't elaborate cos I'm trying to avoid specific spoilers!). But stories about characters escaping/fighting/defying brainwashing/cults are... kinda my jam, so that's more of a personal reason for my enjoyment I guess (that was one of the big aspects of Cas' plot/character that made me fall in love with him and his story).

I thought Becky and Ian's little romantic subplot was sweet and post ep 3 it has some comedic moments that made me chuckle as well (and I found Becky was a joy to watch in general tbh). Also thought Wilson was Fun :p

I liked the black humour. I LOVED the artwork for the Utopia comic (ofc maybe the uk version was better? but like I say, I honestly can't remember it).

BUT, all that said, my enjoyment is still only what I'd call a casual or passing enjoyment. Like, it hasn't changed my world. I'm not rushing to rewatch any of it (although I do kinda wanna rewatch the original now).

I'm invested enough that if they do make a second season I'll tune in. I wanted more immediately after I finished, but I was deep in marathon mode at that point, lol. But... if another season doesn't get made I'm not gonna be too upset/disappointed. And... honestly, unless my dash starts talking/posting serious meta about it to keep the story fresh for me, there's a decent chance that I'm gonna forget about the whole thing in a week or two :P

Sorry, that got unnecessarily long! Was basically me sorting out my thoughts/feelings about the whole thing. Dunno if it helps you! Based on my reaction to the show I think you are correct in thinking your overall enjoyment will not increase that much if you keep watching - but I would say it's still entertaining enough to make watching to the end worthwhile (and Cory does get more screentime post ep 3 ;p)

harvest, amber & moonlit 🍂

harvest - what fictional character do you most identify with? Why?

well, minus my ocs since they are obviously self-inserts lol,, mostly morrigan and fenris? i think? because i can relate to them. hmmmmm kinda personality-wise, kinda because of maybe similar past/experiences,, stuff, etc.. and then some characters from books, like aelin, dorian and will. again because of the same reasons. i just feel like they would......... get me ya kno. oh yea let's throw in serana and anders too actually. 😔 like ofc i wouldn't say i straight up "kin" all of them but i take bits here and there and they kinda make up me. i guess. like let’s not get too deep here lmao

amber - share an unpopular opinion that you may have.

ugh currently i can't think of anything other than the "like/reblog ratio" problem here on this site because annoying blogs won't shut up about it and my unpopular opinion is that people are not obliged to rb your stuff which should be obvious but they all act very passive-aggressive about it which makes me personally even less likely to like or rb anything from them (and i don’t lol because they are blocked so,,). i don't mean normal content makers who noticed a visible drop in their notes, like sometimes i do feel like gif/edit makers are underappreciated, maybe. i mean those who make Very self-indulgent stuff that them and maybe three other people care about and then they go on about "fucking ungrateful ugh reblog this right now :3c" like. shut up. plz. again, my problem is not with normal people who just.. reblog their stuff for it to be noticed by more people. i just hate when they make passive-aggressive comments about it and like 5 other posts and they guilt-trip people into paying attention to them. also when they start with the “i spend HOURS on this!!!!” like. who cares. if you like doing something... you can spend hours on it..... it’s a hobby, karen........ just spend hours on it and don’t shove it down our throats that you did.......... just upload and rb content like a normal person.......

moonlit - are you a neat or messy person? Is your room / house orderly?

i have the potential to be neat but i don't have the energy to execute that so i'm mostly messy. i like when my room is neat, it really can improve your shitty headspace sometimes but. like. man i wish i could keep it neat. so, no it's not neat currently lol. and tbh i guess i'm a goblin at heart so, figures.

a very informal breakdown of the second bob’s burgers movie trailer

there is SO MUCH in trailer 2 compared to trailer 1 (which i already wrote about here)

i took many, many screencaps from the second trailer that dropped today and i wanna analyze them and write out all my thoughts and theories!!!

don’t look under the read more if you don’t want to see any pics from the trailer (ik some people like to avoid spoilers entirely), or if you don’t want to load a bunch of images right now (i have several dozen screenshots im going to analyze). also fair warning i just screencapped these from youtube on my phone and didnt crop out the borders or the channel bug in the corner

(also pls dont rb this bc there’s a lot of people on this hellsite that i do not want interacting with me, there’s a reason i didn’t put this post in the main tags, just wanted to get my thoughts out somewhere)

pretty sure bob’s extended groan at the beginning is his reaction to the sinkhole.

the banker told them they have seven days to make a payment. is he holding them accountable for the sinkhole? idk what else they could possibly be paying for but the sinkhole is in the middle of a public road (and seems like it was caused by a ruptured water main or something like that) and the property is actually owned by fischoeder so it doesn’t really make sense for the belchers to be paying for it...maybe they took out some crazy loan then forgot about it and it’s come back to bite them? or maybe this is connected to the movie’s mystery arc?

i’m thinking this is linda trying to cheer bob up after either the bank meeting or the sinkhole opening up (since he’s looking down at the street). ofc if they’re connected then it’s both.

in this trailer we see more of the kids exploring the sinkhole at night, and we see that louise falls in (and drops kuchi kopi in the process!) maybe she’s stuck down there and this leads into an imagination sequence?

there’s some sort of crew examining the sinkhole. thankfully, the sinkhole isn’t in front of the apartment door...

this forest looks a little too enchanted to be in seymour’s bay so i’m wondering if it’s part of louise’s imagination sequences with kuchi kopi and company...

this looks to be the same scene from the first trailer where a ufo-like floating city shows up and i’m still banking on it being in gene’s imagination. on the other hand, if the belchers and the fischoeders turn out to be related i can see them giving gene a gig at wonder wharf

Return Of Darryl...the movie has been in production for a loooong time and darryl has been conspicuously absent from any episodes produced after some stuff about his VA being pretty awful came out, so i’m unsure whether they’ve recast him or just left in old dialogue for...consistency. iirc they wrapped dialogue recording fairly recently? that aside, there’s gene’s napkin dispenser and spoon contraption again! cannot wait to see what he’s up to with that thing.

these plushies look like they could be prizes from wonder wharf...is wonder wharf going to burn down or something? otoh the way they’re drawn looks considerably different than how background items are usually rendered in the show, so i’m not sure whether this is just a movie vs tv budget difference or whether it’s a fantasy/flashback sequence art shift.

more of louise’s imagination! she’s in her pajamas which lends weight to the possiblity that we see some imagination sequences after she falls into the sinkhole. also THAT’S A BUROBU SLUG IN THE BOTTOM LEFT!

i have a suspicion that this secret trapdoor is either underneath wonder wharf or somewhere in the fischoeders’ house. maybe the former and this scene leads to the scene in the first trailer where calvin and felix are driving the kids around in the storage area full of clowns and shit. but all the old rides are in their yard so it could also be in their house...

people angrily chasing linda (in the sexy burger costume), bob, and teddy (pushing the cart) through wonder wharf. i’m betting they screwed something up while selling burgers (possibly set something on fire, given the toys-that-look-like-prizes being on fire a few screencaps ago)

i’m guessing this is from tina’s friend fiction, but it could be a dream or imagine spot. i bet tina writes down her dreams if they’re friend-fiction worthy anyway!

this looks like felix’s treehouse so i could be right about her ziplining down the wire to sneak in in that brief glimpse we see in the first trailer... maybe she walks in and sees him dancing in front of the mirror in his sailor outfit??

probably connected to the horse friend-fiction we see above. i’m curious how they ended up at wonder wharf...

calvin looks adorable in that cape but i mostly took this cap for the background events. i’m pretty sure that’s grover in the far right of the image (pink suit is kind of a giveaway) and behind him it looks like something is blocked off further down the street, possibly a second sinkhole?

there’s the wonder wharf mascot, and a dude who is on the poster that i do not recognize in the slightest. he could be a wonder wharf employee...

bob and linda kinda look like they’re up on a rooftop here (compare the height of whatever they’re resting their hands on to the roof of the brown building in the background. this could be them hiding from the people chasing them earlier in the trailer (same outfits and location!)

based on the dancing, the rvs in the background, and the pool full of rubber ducks, i’m thinking this is a musical number taking place at the mobile home park we saw a bit in the first trailer.

my buddy jj said they think this is also a musical number and i agree. it just makes sense

this could literally happen at any point in the movie because zeke loves tackling jimmy jr. also we can tell this isn’t in tina’s friend fiction because everyone’s wearing pants

linda punched bob in the dick. he’s gonna need to construct a new one out of hamburger meat

they’re TOTALLY sneaking into felix’s treehouse and while i thought louise was ziplining down the cables, now i’m thinking she’s just pulling them to move the basket lift thing closer to the treehouse like normal.

more of the concert robot that i’m guessing is from gene’s imagination :D

the food cart isn’t working correctly...maybe they have the same problem later but they’re at wonder wharf and something happens that pisses people off, leading to the chase. this is probably before that since linda isn’t dressed as a sexy burger yet. also teddy wrote “bob burger”, nice continuity from him thinking the belchers’ last name is burger (s3e15, s9e8, s10e9, probably a couple other times i’m forgetting at the moment).

there’s gene with his napkin dispenser/spoon contraption again. i love it

i wonder if tina’s frustrated with her writing because of jimmy jr. falling into a booth at wonder wharf? maybe she’s writing what she fears instead of what she wants...

last two caps and bob is talking to a burger, perhaps because he’s dejected from the bank meeting and/or the sinkhole. the kids snark at him. this looks like the same scene as when tina says “big things are happening” in the first trailer, based on gene’s backpack being on the counter in the exact same position.

WEW that took a while and i could have been working on college stuff but this was way more fun lmfao

welcome to my shitty blog

So I may or may not be Sayori from ddlc, I'm either kin with her or hearted/kith/synpath/whateverthefuck. I'm still figuring that stuff out, but I didn't wanna spam my main blog (and also I'm v self conscious abt talking abt this stuff on my main bc besides questioning Sayori I'm not fictionkin and ya kno they don't have a super great rep). So here I'll post ddlc and fictionkin related stuff. Anyone can follow/interact as long as you're not anti kin wanting to shit on me for something I can't even control.

So, about me! I'll make a post later on explaining why I am considering being Sayori. I'm 21 and go by they/them pronouns, but she or he is fine if for whatever reason you can't stand they/them :p I'm otherkin, been in the kin community for over 7 years now but ik I'm still learning, esp about fictionkin, which I have little experience with. I'm happy to learn more about fictionkin, especially what it's like on a personal level and how it compares to otherkin. I primarily identify as a dog and I'm also a furry so I'll probably make/reblog like, furry ddlc stuff lmao. Or like cute puppies that remind me of Sayori, stuff like that. I'll rb general ddlc stuff, ddlc kin stuff, and any fictionkin info I feel like reblogging either to share or for me to read over later.

I'd describe my personality as like Sayori but more awkward and with an edgy sense of humor and thinks too much. I guess I'm a bit like Yuri in some ways but,,, I don't like her that much? Idk. I don't think it's like, I had bad experiences with her in my past life as Sayori or whatever, I'm not even sure I believe in past lives. I mean if you identify as Yuri I won't hate you or anything ofc, like we aren't literally our kintypes anyways. Also I'm super okay with doubles, in fact I'd love to meet other Sayoris and compare experiences and stuff! Since I'm questioning and all, it'd be great to talk to Sayorikins to figure out if what I feel is similar, though ofc every kin is different, but it could help.

Also I'm willing to do ddlc fashion/aesthetic requests. I'll post stuff I make just for myself too. Be as specific as you want, but the more vague you are, I'll probably just do my own thing to kinda fill in the blanks, just so you know! Also if doing fashion requests it could help to tell me whether you want feminine, masculine, androgynous, or a mix!
