Listen, I love Hook as much as the next person but we were robbed of Emma and Regina as endgame for Once upon a time.

*I haven't read the manga or watched the anime for My Happy Marriage.

Between Perfect Revenge Marriage and My Happy Marriage....these oldest daughters need a ton of love and they absolutely deserve it. 😭😭

These crooked mf families, oh gosh. I would like to rage. Miyo's been terrorized her whole life.

I love Yurie already.

Ken Tsuda...🤌🏾

She was so sweet eating at the restaurant for the first time! That look of delight!

This Tsuruki fellow seems shifty. Good or bad, I can't tell. He's pretty though.

Husbands bending over backwards to make sure their traumatized wives can heal, because every smile is precious: Lord Kudou 🤝🏾 Seo Do Guk

They're making me squee it's so stinking cute. This finding and making home for yourself stuff is so good.

The way Yurie thinks this gentle romance is so preciously amusing is The Best.

Burn that house down. No one needs any of that Saimori bloodline to continue.

Her mom's family ain't shit either...no one could help her? Why now? These mfs could've done something...what the hell does he mean he was waiting for her. Nah, Miyo go back to your husband. They can continue to live in peace and harmony then. Without you, Miyo.

Wait, is there anyone that can be trusted? 🙃

Protect WHO Arata?! You already FAILED. Get this guy outta here. Miyo, you got this girlie. I believe in you and your hubby.

Normally reserved/arrogant husbands becoming baby girls for their wives: Lord Kudou 🤝🏾 Seo Do Guk

Oooh, the former emperor got played by this mystery cult group, I see.

I really enjoyed that! I should give the anime a go.

In a twist shocking to me most of all, I actually think I.N.’s solo stage was the best one?? I’ve already shared my thoughts on Bang Chan’s and also I know that Han performing live with an electric guitar is everything I’ve ever wanted (!!!) but I think hallucination (?) is the song that I need the most, and the choreography is staggering (since when does baby bread move like Hyunjin?) and even though he’s only half pretending to lip sync, he looks cooler than he’s ever looked. Laughing at people who thought anyone was gonna let the maknae say “I wanna see you naked” but you know what, the whole thing is such a far cry from “hug me” that I think the shock value is there.

Anyway, maknae on top. I can’t even get started on Lino who I guess no longer is trying to corrupt anyone!!

Ranchers as Grant Wood’s American Gothic was supposed to be sillay and goofy but then I set the ranch on fire and one thing led to another and now it’s. sad DFBJDFGB I’m really happy with how this came out though, so!! Here’s my week 3 piece for the Hermitcraft Design Challenge thingie :]

[wildsummerrose]

The thing about this–or going "oh god I feel so old now"–is that it's basically a succinct way of saying "oh fuck, I am suddenly acutely aware of the passage of time, and feel my mortality. This is extremely uncomfortable!"

It's also delightful (but a little sad) to see your silly little guys and gals turning into bigger little guys and gals. Progress is made and it is joyous!! But the entry into childhood comes at the cost of babyhood, with all of its precious silliness. There's almost a ritual feeling to saying "ah, you're so big!!" We're acknowledging the missed milestones, and the death of the person the kids were when we didn't get to see them.

“But Kris, if I wanted to watch Anim vs. with all the different series how should I even go about it??”

It largely depends on the topics and cast you’re interested in seeing. The show is split into three subseries as well as the occasional standalone episode/miniseries: Animator vs. Animation (the original created in 2006-7 by Alan Becker alone), Animation vs. Minecraft (the longest and most popular, shorts stemming off a standalone from 2015), and Animation vs. Education (the newest from 2023, visualizing high-level STEM concepts)

Personally, I think core AvA is required reading for anyone who has appreciation for past eras of the internet, UI, or principles and genres of animation. AvM and AvE are equal in quality but honestly you won’t appreciate them as much if you aren’t familiar with the topics they cover. Alan and his team do try to visually introduce things step by step, though, so you can at least get a general idea of what you’re looking at

Besides that, core AvA specifically follows the Hollow-Heads, hand-drawn stick figures created by the Animator, “noogai”/Alan. In particular you have The Chosen One (shortened to Chosen, Cho or TCO) and The Second Coming (aka Second, Sec, TSC or Orange). TSC is the de facto main character and the only one appearing in all three series, while TCO and the Animator are exclusive to the original.

The SticksFight squad - the four sticks originating from sticksfight.com and named after their colors - have developed distinct personalities as the main cast of AvM, but only take a collective side role in main AvA (Yellow has a slightly larger role than the others). Here’s a summary of their individual personalities so you know what to look for in their smaller appearances

Red - Impulsive and energetic, always the first to jump into action and with a soft heart for creatures and beasties. He’s a little simple when it comes to technical things, but excels with reading the people around him, then building off of their quirks. Since the rest of the group babies him a bit, he puts in extra physical work to prove he can hold his own. Red also tends to play around with new or out-of-the-box solutions - knowledge that extends to his pranks. Most ready to fight with his fists or use heavy-hitters like maces and clubs. (Good intro/focus eps: The Rediscovery, Texture Pack, Monster School, The Prank)

Blue - A mellow fellow! Blue is one with nature and focuses on farming, cooking, and potionology. Due to her pacifistic tendencies, Blue prefers to reason things out or find other solutions rather than fighting, but will throw herself into the face of danger for others. Otherwise she takes up ranged weapons like guns and bows. She’s detail- and aesthetic-oriented as well as graceful, but doesn’t often step outside what she knows. A bit of an addiction to nether wart, which is somewhere between an unusual snack and a drug. (Good intro/focus eps: Potions, The Piglin War, The Chef, Blue’s New Superpower)

Yellow - She loves more than anything to get down to the root of things, and that makes her the group’s engineer! …And a bit of a troublemaker, paying more attention to the thrill of a discovery than the consequences. Yellow tries to find fairness and justice for friend and foe alike. While they have a reliable, supportive demeanor, they’re also very peppy, excitable and tough with how they stand strong in dire situations. Often her fighting style takes place behind the scenes, using things like explosives or a command-casting staff. (Good intro/focus eps: The Roller Coaster, Command Blocks, Lucky Blocks, AvArcade Games)

Green - Originally the weakest on the team, but has since come into his own after a lot of reflex training (read: getting tossed around). Green has great adaptability to learning new techniques and getting creative, particularly with styles of music and architecture. He loves the spotlight and usually competes with the others or takes the chance to show off; however, he also cares deeply about welcoming in those he meets. Dashes and zips around all the time during battle, usually via fishing rod-grappling hook. (Good intro/focus eps: AvYouTube, Note Blocks, PvP, The Dolphin Kingdom)

If you’re just gonna watch the REQUIRED ones this is what I recommend:

AvA s1 (1-4, previously I-IV)

AvMinecraft (original)

AvYouTube

AvA s2 (5-8, previously “shorts” combining into V)

AvMath

AvA s3 (9-ongoing)

That way you get the introduction of both subseries, with how each establishes the cast/direction, as well as one standalone. I put vs. YT here since it best fits the theme imo but you could go with vs. Pokémon or vs. Arcade Games if you prefer

If you’re willing to take on AvM/the rest of the series this is pretty much the order of the timeline:

AvA s1

AvM (original)

AvYouTube

AvM shorts s1 (1-14)

AvLeague of Legends (required for an AvM character’s development)

AvM shorts s2 (15-19)

AvA s2

Other standalones (Blue’s New Superpower + vs. ___)

AvM shorts s3 (20-30)

AvE (ongoing)

AvA s3 (ongoing)

AvM shorts s4 (ongoing)

Influencer Arc (1-3 + some interactive videos on the Greenzilla4 channel)

Or just follow my playlist!!!

[dialnoisenow]

Listen, I really liked Scott Pilgrim Takes Off.

I liked that it was batshit insane and had FLCL nuances. I liked that it wasnt the comics and it wasnt the movie and it was it's own beast but with enough similarities and constants to be an AU. I liked that they got all of the actors on board to be the voice actors.

I liked that the league had depth and development. I liked that we got more Wallace and Mobile finally got a voice. I liked we got to see Ramona's perspective and Ramona's growth even though at the end of the day it's still Scott fighting NegaScott.

The soundtrack was great but at times the animation was meh. Still 10/10, would recommend.

[project-sekai-facts]

has swag ever said if any of the characters are mixed? they r all japanese ofc but i was wondering if any of the characters has ever been confirmed to be mixed like british/japanese or spanish/japanese idk if this made sense?? lol

no, as far as canon is concerned they're all 100% japanese

[lesbianralzarek]

trying to not complain about the discrepancy between how much content fictional women and poc have vs the white dudes in every fucking fandom im in, because no one owes me fanart/fic and i can make shit myself, but holy fuck can any of you name a woman?

[potato-lord-but-not]

POTATO LORD!! *shakes you* That Oscar tarot art?? It's brilliant. Oh, it's so brilliant. I hope you don't mind me overanalyzing this art because it is rotating in my mind like a Costco rotisserie chicken, and it gives me an excuse to ramble about the stuff I've learned in the tarot workshops I've been to. You are a heckin genius. Bless ya!

HEHE THANK YOUUU I swear to god whenever I draw stuff like this 80% of it is subconscious like at first it’s purely for aesthetics and then I look at it later and go oh my GOD that works too well- my one creative process confuses me more often than not. also please never stop overanalyzing I was literally kicking my feet with joy reading your comment hehe

[demigod-of-the-agni]

[poorly-drawn-mdzs]

Aw! XL cooking reminded me of when I was working with children and they'd get nightmares/scared of monsters, so was go to the garden and make Monster Soup! Anything that looked good would go into the nearest source of water (often a bird bath) so that the monsters would know we are kind people and stay outside and not come inside. Also the monsters would think of us as friends and protect us instead of scaring us. Now I'm hoping that I have turned any of these kids into bad cooks bc I was like that flower looks good! Toss it in! 😅😄😄😄

Thank you for reminding me of this memory!

I'm-In-Love-With-The-Monster Soup.
