i think what i'm most excited about with the live action series is how different it's gonna be.
like, obviously, it's live action, so there's limits on what they can do in terms of the crazier stunts, places, and people. the actors will have their own mannerisms and quirks they'll add to the characters that will make them distinct. it looks like it's gonna be a bit more grounded and less cartoon-y. but most of all, it's just so so so much shorter.
season one looks like it's gonna cover all the way up to loguetown, which was original a little over 100 chapters and 50 episodes, in about ten episodes. that's a lot to cover, and while they're gonna have to cut a lot of stuff, i'm so curious how they'll condense and change the story.
(it makes me wonder, with oda working with them, if it'll resemble oda's original plan for the story, which was gonna be much shorter than it ended up being. though, we won't know that unless oda says something).
it's just going to be so different than the original one piece, and that makes me really excited, cuz it'll kind of be like watching one piece for the first time again.
needless to say, i'll be ready to burst into tears

Dude are you kidding me... Blizzard gave the Anubis mythic to REAPER? Okay yeah sure Anubis is the god of death, which is Reaper's entire image, and Ramattra highkey hates Anubis the AI, but... REALLY? Since when skins follow the personalities of the canonical characters??? And sure Ram may hate his creator but he's quite literally doing the EXACT same things Anubis did with all the stuff happening around Null Sector. Like that metaphor alone is a lit reason to give Ram the Anubis mythic, but noooooooo, let's give it to the local edge lord...
What, is Poseidon too much? Ramattra can't have two god-themed skins or some shit???
Aaaaand on a slightly different note, Venture the archeologist, omnic history enthusiastist and "discoverer" of Anubis the AI getting nothing in the season 12 trailer is also criminal-

So I’ve been doing a little bit of thinkin’ after the two new episodes of Who about Susan Twist and I had a lightbulb moment I haven’t really seen anyone else talking about just yet.
Spoilers ahead for Wild Blue Yonder, Church on Ruby Road, Space Babies, and the Devil’s Chord. Ok, onto the theory!
We all know Susan Twist is going to be more than just an Easter Egg, but I think everyone is taking the actress’s name too literally. She’s not playing Susan.
She’s The One Who Waits.
She’s there. Always in the background. On the periphery. Watching. Waiting. Because everything leads back to her.
And the first time we see her is in the scene that has the first major world shift in the episode that set up this entire plotline about invoking superstition at the edge of the universe and letting something through.
And who do we encounter pretty much immediately after? The embodyment of Play (Toymaker). And then a little later in we meet the embodyment of Music (Maestro).
Which raises the next part of my theory: What is The One Who Waits the embodyment of?
Death
Death just sits, and waits, and watches, biding their time because everything has its time and Death comes for everything in the end.
And every time we’ve seen her, things start going really wrong. In WBY, she was one of the last people we saw before the Tardis landed on the spaceship, Donna almost died, and the Doctor almost let a NotWe loose on the universe. In Ruby Road, she’s watching Ruby and her friends perform the same night they nearly get crushed by the giant snowman head. She was one of the crew in Space Babies who were forced to leave the station and abandon all those babies to die. And in Devil’s Chord she was in the cafeteria when Paul and John are talking to the Doctor and Ruby about music before getting angry and leaving which, had the Doctor not intervened, would’ve lead to literal nuclear winter.
I feel like too many people are focusing on just the previous lore from the past 60 years which, for any other context makes sense. But this isn’t your granny’s Doctor Who anymore. The tone shift started in WBY means we need to think outside the Blue Box (that’s bigger on the inside) to figure it all out and for once, I think being into SuperWhoLock may have finally paid off! The NotWes are shapeshifters. The Bogeyman was basically a thought form (tulpa). The literal baby eating, musical goblins. The Toymaker and Maestro are both functionally gods. And which god waits patiently in the background?
Death.
It’s not a perfect 1 to 1 with Supernatural but if you find the midpoint between the two everything starts to click into place.
The final Big Bad of the season is The One Who Waits which is Death and not even the Doctor can fully cheat death, they can just keep running. So in the end the Doctor doesn’t actually defeat Death. He just traps them or delays them enough to get away so he can just keep running.
(Also Mrs. Flood is just a normal human who’s past was changed by the Doctor. In the start of the episode, before the Doctor properly meets Ruby (I don’t count the encounter at the club) she has no clue what the Tardis is. But as soon as the thing happens on the roof her past changed to include an encounter with the Doctor when she was younger (I think it’s going to be the episode with the slug things we’ve seen in the trailers because there’s a girl with blonde bangs in a season where coincidence is the driving force behind everything so it has to mean something) which is why her entire personality shifts by the end and she becomes nicer and suddenly knows about the Tardis and knows that Ruby has to go with the Doctor. She’s not Susan or Ruby’s mom. She’s just someone they save along the way.)

It’s just that “Better Than Revenge” is messy and angry, but also so very human and that’s okay. It’s disappointing to me that she felt the need to rewrite her own history on an album about saying exactly what you feel and water down her very human feelings she once had as a teenager. Her anger should be allowed to exist even though the target of it was misplaced, which was purely a product of society seeing that women were led to see each other as competition when it came to romance. She’s clearly shown that she’s changed her thinking from when she originally penned the song over a decade ago with what she said about “august” during the Long Pond Sessions and all of her work since Speak Now.

Giyuu Can’t Communicate🦋
Rough ass sketches I’ll maybe finish at some point probably maybe idk click for better quality because tumblr murdered it
Tanjiro is SHOCKED and dismayed that Shinobu said none of the Hashira like Giyuu and makes it his mission to change everyone’s mind starting with her
What better way to get on Shinobu’s good side than helping at the butterfly mansion?
Originally meant to just thank Aoi for the rice balls she made for him but got roped into learning the recipe firsthand instead. Aoi does not understand what he and Tanjiro are doing but is just glad for the help anyway
He’s nervous to make a good impression, knowing how important Aoi and the other girls are to Shinobu, but his hair keeps getting in his eyes! :O Luckily Naho, Sumi, and Kiyo rush in to help!!!!!!
Looking like that ^ he asks Shinobu directly if she needs anything, but she’s laughing too hard to even respond.
Shinobu: BEFRIENDED

Day 5: Photography/Makeup
Stained Lips, Stained Cheek (1.9k words)
Lights, visuals and music were all clear, all that was left for Esora to do was her makeup. She liked everything about their pre-show rituals backstage, especially since she and Yuka started dating. Kyoko and Shinobu would squabble, Esora would tease them and Yuka made sure to capture anything embarrassing.
Another thing she liked was how much Yuka was able to be affectionate, even if they both get embarrassed.
