#ella reads manga

[houkagokappa]

I've been holding my breath waiting for these two to have their date and when chapter 81 opened with the next day shock and sadness ran over me, like we're not gonna see what they talked about late at night in Erika's dorm room? But then as soon as I saw Erika I KNEW she was hiding Akebi in her room omg that is to die for. Then they proceeded with the gayest courtship dance ever, just look at this sequence? The love and care and respect and understanding they have towards each other???

If you're not reading Akebi-chan no Sailor-fuku you need to get on it.

[in-a-faith-forgottenn-land]

it’s because he knows he’s in love with u eiji <33

[autisticshadowthehedgehog]

Thank you women 🫡 May we have their names? I don’t know all of them. -☀️

(anon is referencing my recent gifset of sonic women!)

Sure! I put them in order of debut/release date. I realized while making this that I messed up the order of Shade and Merlina so I swapped em.

Amy Rose - first debuted in 1992 Shogakukan manga

Sally Acorn - SatAM and Archie canon. Was first created for SatAM but debuted in the comics first as a promo.

Bunnie Rabbott - SatAM and Archie canon. Same as Sally.

Breezie - Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog; she also appeared in Archie but with a diff personality. She was one of the few recurring female characters (along with Ms Possum and Mama Robotik) but since her appearances had actual arcs for her I picked her for the set.

Dulcy the Dragon - SatAM, wasn't as major in Archie iirc. Debuted in SatAM second season.

Seira - Sonic OVA, 1996.

Sonia the Hedgehog - Sonic Underground, 1998. I considered including Aleena as well but it's hard to find decent shots of her and she's barely onscreen. Also was hard to find a good shot of Sonia but that's just bc I hate the animation in this show.

Tikal the Echidna - first debuted in 1998's Sonic Adventure. Appeared later in Sonic X (where the gif is from) and I want her to come back pls

Lumina Flowlight - only appearance so far is Sonic Shuffle in 2000, but she's a major presence throughout the entire game.

Rouge the Bat - first debuted in 2001's Sonic Adventure 2. Gif is from Shadow Dark Beginnings.

Maria Robotnik - same as Rouge

Cream the Rabbit - first debuted in Sonic Advance 2 (2002)

Vanilla the Rabbit - first debuted in Sonic Advance 2 (2002). She appears more in supplementary materials (comics, Sonic Channel) than the games proper (hence why her gif is from Sonic X), but she does so enough that I felt safe counting her as a major character.

Ella - Sonic X. Secondary character who appears through almost every episode of seasons 1-2.

Topaz - Sonic X. Secondary character but major due to her partnership with Rouge as a GUN agent. Also her and Rouge are kinda fruity. Appears in seasons 1-2.

Cosmo - Sonic X season 3. Pretty much the main character of that arc.

Blaze the Cat - debuted in Sonic Rush (2005).

Wave the Swallow - debuted in Sonic Riders (2006).

Princess Elise III - major character in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006).

Shahra the Genie - major character in Sonic and the Secret Rings (2007).

Marine the Raccoon - major character in Sonic Rush Adventure (2007).

Shade the Echidna - my darling light of my life. Major character in Sonic Chronicles: the Dark Brotherhood (2008).

Merlina - major character in Sonic and the Black Knight (2009).

Zeena the Zeti - debuted in Sonic Lost World (2013), hasn't appeared in the games since but has reappeared in the canon IDW comics.

Sticks the Badger - major character in the Sonic Boom franchise starting in 2014

Longclaw - Sonic's original guardian in the Sonic film franchise. So far her only living appearance has been in 2020, but her hologram appears in the 2022 sequel and she's directly referenced in the 2024 film.

Maddie Wachowski - Sonic's adoptive mother in the Sonic film franchise, debuting in 2020.

Sage Robotnik - major character in Sonic Frontiers (2022), is likely to appear in later games

Trip the Sungazer - major character in Sonic Superstars (2023).

Ariem the Ram - major character in Sonic Dream Team (2024).

There were plenty of comic women I wanted to include but this was a gifset and comics don't, well. Move. So some comic girlie shoutouts:

Shogakukan: Tania

Sonic the Comic: Tekno, Ebony and Pyjamas

Archie: there's a ton and I still haven't read it in full so I probably missed a couple, but I know Julie Su, Fiona, Mina and Hope are pretty major

IDW: Tangle, Whisper, Jewel, Belle, Lanolin, Surge

And bc the image limit on tumblr is 30, I had to narrow down my initial list. Special shoutout to Aleena, Helen SonicX, and Rachel and Jojo SCU.

10 People I'd Like to Get to Know Better

Thank you @trlamnhi for tagging me 🫶

Last Song: A Ella - Karol G; Honestly, I listen to a ton of songs on the daily. This just so happens to be the song I was listening to as I began typing this.

Favorite Color: Black

Last Movie: Beetlejuice 2, which was a while ago. I'm not one to really watch new movies too often. I'm the type to just watch the things I like over and over again, lol.

Last Book: The last actual book I read (not counting web comics/manga) was probably The Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu. Probably my favorite novel series of all time! Greatly recommend reading! I definitely need to start reading again. I bought a couple of series that I have yet to read 😅

Sweet/Spicy/Savory: Definitely spicy! I love eating spicy snacks/chips especially. I rarely eat sweet stuff, since I can't really handle them. I usually end up with a migraine if I eat something that's too sweet. I also do enjoy savory foods every so often.

Last googled: It had to do with trying to figure out why something I was converting wasn't showing up in game, lol. I didn't find an answer for my specific problem, but I ended up getting it to work anyways.

Current Obsession: Listening to songs while converting TS4 stuff to TS3 and learning how to convert even more stuff. It's ironic since I thought I was getting burnt out, but out of nowhere I got an urge to get right back to it, lol. I guess you can thank my ADHD for that.

Looking forward to...Taking my family out to eat somewhere special and spending time with them.

Tagging: @puffkins2000 @elvgreen @suteflower @hoodoowoman @sourlemonsimblr @grimfolks @cosmicmasks @nectar-cellar @kwimii999 @bellakenobi (Feel free to ignore if you don't feel comfortable answering! Apologies if any of you have already been tagged.)

[petalpetal]

okay top 5 favorite books I think that my followers/tumblr would like in no particular order

Yume by Sifton Tracey Anipare

its magical realism that addresses the racism foreigners face in Japan (especially black people and people who are half Japanese)

The Library on Mount Char by Scott Hawkins

probably the best novel I have ever come across that has the most in depth orginal lore that you would only find a series buts it one book.

Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine

probably the best representation of how to escape your abusers

The Book Eaters by Sunyi Dean

what if vampires ate books instead of blood but with a lesbian and asexual representation in it. (also gives handmaiden tale vibes)

Lonely Castle in the Mirror by Mizuki Tsujimura

this is a beautiful story about how bulling/family trauma can affect kids. the premise is all of these middle schoolers are invited to a fairy castle for a whole year where they have to option to be granted any wish they desire as long as they find they hidden key. within the first week its obvious they all have one thing in common none of them are gong to school because of bulling.

I HIGHLY RECCOMEND THIS IF YOU EVER FELT LIKE AN OUTSIDER WHILE AS A TEEN BECAUSE YOU WILL RELATE TO AT LEAST ONE OF THE CHARACTERS

if you cant get a copy of this I suggest watching the anime movie or reading the manga.

Craig después del Arroyo: La leyenda de los Maslany (Clip #04)

Tres ninjas y un Samurai (del Capítulo/Episodio "Samurai Honma")

En la cascada, Yustice, Zatch y Prynda disfrutaban de una buena lectura cuando oyen una voz hablando en japonés fluido, justo frente a ellos.

—面白い。小川のこのあたりに桜の木があるなんて知らなかった。ウォーレン師匠がいつもこの場所の話をしていた理由がわかったよ(Interesante. No sabía que había cerezos alrededor de esta parte del arroyo. Ahora entiendo por qué el Maestro Warren siempre hablaba de este lugar)—dijo Souichi Honma, un niño japonés que vestía un Gi blanco con bordes grises, sandalias zori bígaras y portaba un shinai. Estaba admirado al ver árboles de cerezo como los de su natal Japón.

—Increíble, nunca había visto un chico igual a éste. Viste y habla como todo un japonés. Parece salido de un manga—pensó Yustice admirada, al ver a Souichi—.La forma en la que él admira nuestra cascada es fascinan–

Zatch y Prynda rodean a Souichi, para la consternación de Yustice. Ambos sacan sus shurikens de cartón y se preparan para atacar al inesperado invitado.

—¡Esperen, no lo ataquen, él...!—le advirtió Yustice a sus compañeros.

Ninguno de los dos escuchó. Zatch y Prynda lanzan sus shurikens de cartón hacia Souichi, quien blande su shinai y con un par de movimientos rápidos rompe los shurikens de cartón a la mitad. Tan rápida fue la escena, que los dos chicos ninja quedaron boquiabiertos.

—これがすべてのゲストへの挨拶方法だと言わないでください。なんとも陽気です。(No me digan que así es como ustedes reciben a todos sus invitados. Qué hilarante.)—le dijo Souichi a Zatch y a Prynda, mientras Yustice se acercaba.

—Um, ¿podrías hablar en español? No te entendimos ni una sola palabra—dijo Zatch mientras se recuperaba de la impresión inicial—.Para ser un intruso luces muy japonés. ¿De dónde vienes?

—Tranquilos, compañeros ninja, también hablo su idioma—dijo Souichi sonriendo, luego se presenta educadamente—.Soy el antiguo samurai Souichi Honma, Warren-Kun me mandó aquí, desde Herkleton Mills.

—¿O sea que eres del otro lado del arroyo? Ahora entiendo todo—inquirió Yustice, sonrojada al ver un auténtico japonés frente a ella—.Wow, eres un japonés de verdad, y hablas japonés fluido. Es...hermoso. 🤩✨

Souichi sonríe al oír lo que Yustice le dijo. Sabe que ella tenía razón.

—Sí, así somos los japoneses—dijo Souichi mientras recogía la mitad de uno de los shuriken que rompió—.Ustedes son muy creativos con su armamento ninja, digo, a mí me dieron esto apenas comencé mi primera clase de Kendo.

Souichi blande su shinai de nuevo, esta vez para mostrarlo. Los chicos ninja están sorprendidos, nunca habían visto algo similar antes.

—Ahora entiendo por qué nuestras estrellas ninja no pueden contra una auténtica espada de prácticas—pensó Prynda al ver el shinai de Souichi—.No puedo evitar sentir este sentimiento de que ante este japonés, nosotros sólo somos unos simples imitadores.😮 Aunque, parece que él es muy amigable.

Mientras, en la biblioteca de Herkleton, un niño con un sombrero Explorer Fedora entraba al lugar para leer algunos libros. Una vez dentro, toma un libro y se sienta a leer. Stacks ve al recién llegado leer mientras tomaba algunos libros para leer.

Craig after the Creek: The Legend of the Maslanys (Clip #04)

Three Ninjas and a Samurai (from Chapter/Episode "Samurai Honma")

At the waterfall, Yustice, Zatch and Prynda were enjoying a good read when they hear a voice speaking in fluent Japanese, right in front of them.

"面白い。小川のこのあたりに桜の木があるなんて知らなかった。ウォーレン師匠がいつもこの場所の話をしていた理由がわかったよ" (Interesting. I didn't know there were cherry trees around this part of the creek. Now I understand why Master Warren always talked about this place) Souichi Honma, a Japanese kid wearing a white Gi with gray trims, periwinkle zori sandals and carrying a shinai, said. He was amazed to see cherry trees like those on his native Japan.

"Unbelievable, I've never seen a kid like this before. He dresses and talks like a Japanese. He looks like something out of a manga," Yustice thought admired, as she watched Souichi. "The way he admires our waterfall is fascina-"

Zatch and Prynda surround Souichi, much to Yustice's dismay. They both pull out their cardboard shurikens and prepare to attack the unexpected guest.

"Wait, don't attack him, he...!" Yustice warned his companions.

None of them listened. Zatch and Prynda throw their cardboard shurikens towards Souichi, who brandishes his shinai and with a pair of fast movements breaks the cardboard shurikens in half. So fast the scene was, that the two ninja boys were shocked.

"これがすべてのゲストへの挨拶方法だと言わないでください。なんとも陽気です。" (Don't tell me this is how you receive all your guests. So hilarious.) Souichi told Zatch and Prynda, as Yustice approached.

"Um, could you speak English? We didn't understand a single word of you." Zatch said as he recovered from his initial shock. "For an intruder you look very Japanese. Where do you come from?"

"Easy, fellow ninja kids, I can speak your language too." Souichi said smiling, then politely introduces himself. "I'm the ancient samurai Souichi Honma, Warren-Kun sent me here, from Herkleton Mills".

"So you're from the other side of the creek? Now I understand everything." Yustice asked, blushing as she saw a real Japanese man in front of her. "Wow, you're a real Japanese man, and you speak fluent Japanese. It's...beautiful".

Souichi smiles when he hears what Yustice told him. He knows she was right.

"Yep, that's how we Japanese are." Souichi says as he picked up half of one of the shuriken he broke. "You guys are so creative with your ninja weaponry, I mean, I was given this as soon as I started my first Kendo class".

Souichi brandishes his shinai again, this time to show it off. The ninja kids are surprised, they had never seen anything like it before.

"Now I understand why our ninja stars can't stand up to a real practice sword." thought Prynda as she saw Souichi's shinai. "I can't help but feel this feeling that in front of this Japanese, we're just mere imitators.😮 Although, he seems to be very friendly".

Meanwhile, at the Herkleton library, a kid wearing an Explorer Fedora hat entered the library to read some books. Once inside, he picks up a book and sits down to read. Stacks watches the newcomer read as she picked up some books to read.

Urusei Yatsura was one of the first animes I watched (and Rumiko Takahashi's first) and when I started reading the manga I completely fell in love with her colorful hair, she always tries (perhaps too hard) for her love. I was so happy when I heard that there would be a new anime because I obviously didn't see the first one on air and now it's almost over, so I didn't want to miss the opportunity to upload a drawing of her.

Urusei Yatsura fue uno de los primeros animes que vi (y el primero de Rumiko Takahashi) y cuando comencé a leer el manga me enamoré completamente de su cabello de colores, ella siempre se esfuerza (quizá demasiado) por su amor. Estuve tan feliz cuando escuché que habría un nuevo anime porque el primero obviamente no lo vi en emisión y ahora ya casi termina, así que no quería perder la oportunidad de subir un dibujo de ella.

[kang-yina]

You can call me Raven and my pronouns are she/they/it. I am an adult and though I dont post explicit nsfw content and tag as "nsfw" whenever I reblog a meme thats is slightly nsfw, I do not recomend to very young people see my tumblr.

I am an ADHDer (late diagnosed, but i have severe adhd and its combined type lol) and i have an anxiety diagnosis, though i suspect of some other thingies.

I am a lesbian and although I mostly use the word lesbian to describe my identity, I am also asexual, demiaro and nonbinary (tme), I'm one of the people that would describe my gender as lesbian, in my case I'm totally okay with being refered as a girl but i know not everyone is okay with that so please don't do this with others!

As some would've noticed my english is not the best, my first language is brazilian portuguese (ela/elu) and i can communicate in english and spanish (ella/elle). I'm currently studying korean an plan to be a polyglot at some point, I'm also constantly exercising my english and spanish cause i really want to be fluent someday.

My tumblr account is mostly dedicated to my hiperfixations, current or not, I'm also always reblogging posts and sometimes saying bullshit. My fandoms are: eah, mh (any gen), paperteeth, amphibia, toh, su, sci, bottoms, tlok and atla, rwby, she-ra, mean girls, wicked, heathers (other musicals too), the green manga and datm. And i probably read or watched anything sapphic so if you like something sapphic and needs to talk about it, you can totally use an ask, i accept recommendations too.

Something that i really enjoy is music, so I might post something music related once in a while, I'm a kpopper since i was a pre teen and I talk a lot about the girlgroup Loona and its extensions (units, solos (ofc this includes artms, loosemble, chuu and yves)). I am also a new bat (goth), so I'm really invested in rock music, my other fav music genres are eletronic and pagode (brazilian genre). Something that i deeply love are solo acts made by women, my fave singers are always women, my faves are, in that order: Mitski, Fiona Apple and Solange Knowles. Coming back to the kpop talk, i love girlgroups and woman soloists, my utt groups are loona, exo and 2ne1, and my utt bias are Choerry, Hyunjin and Suho.

My other interests are biology (which im majoring to), and literature (which i plan to major someday lmao), i love some good old classics, I'm studying to be a teacher so this might be considered an interest i guess (?). I love queer and goth media in general. Other subjects that i enjoyed in school were sociology, history, portuguese, english and spanish, oh and I'm an artist and often post fanart, i plan to make comics someday. I also enjoy a lot of craft related things, my adhd makes me want to learn everything lol... Oh and I'm a poor eah collector that have 2 monster highs and im very normal about the things that i ship.

My curious cat: https://href.li/?https://curiouscat.live/to-com-fome?fbclid=IwAR2c6W6pzcv7BAx1EO9_QYt8mgVkV_irMyPtAeD91vCAAKi9fFKJ64C472A

[firestorm09890]

I'm reading this manga called Hengoku no Schwester and it's in 1500s Europe and there's this drug that makes people see miracles (they're actually just hallucinations) that I assumed was just a fantasy drug but this girl recognized several major facts bc her mother was a healer:

hallucinations are a symptom of Saint Anthony's Fire, aka ergotism

the establishment she was at had fields of rye they didn't appear to be using for anything

ergot was growing on them, which she knew was the cause of ergotism

if you synthesized ergot in a specific way, you could probably get it into a form that only causes the one symptom instead of all the other stuff

and then the narration box appears and says "there's no way Ella would know this, but this is how LSD would be made 400 years later"

9 Fandom Peeps to Get to Know Better

tagged by @strangegeology, tysm!!!

3 Ships You Like: oh boy lmao. i'll ship practically anything, i'm so easy for ships. but ok, i suppose the ones i'm rotating in my head the most right now: weilan (shen wei/zhao yunlan from guardian), kakehai (kakeru/haiji from run with the wind), dream husbands.

First Ship Ever: probably something in warrior cats? or like ... redwall. first ship i can remember? absolutely artemis fowl/holly short.

Last Song You Heard: all i've been doing recently is listening to 告五人 (accuse5) on artist shuffle, and my phone says the song i paused in the middle of when i finished cooking dinner is 红.

Favorite Childhood Book: oh man ... there are a lot, but probably ella enchanted. i think the author (gail carson levine)'s writing craft book for youths, writing magic, is the first one i ever read. i was looking it over again recently and a lot of the advice holds up!

Currently Reading: nothing actively? i'm in-between longfics, and i haven't opened an actual printed novel in a while. but i just got island of the blue dolphins and a bunch of manga about being nonbinary from the library, so maybe those ... eventually. (though last time i did borrow like 3 books and hold them for 3 months and then return them all unread oops).

Currently Watching: oho, a bunch, as always. i'm watching guardian, i'm like two episodes from the end and so so scared about it. i'm following dungeon meshi as it airs, and following along vaguely with warumono-san and a sign of affection. i'm also working my way through joker game, which i am liking soooooo much, wow, the episodes are like, vignettes following different spies from the same group. no over-arching plot (other than like, world war two lmao) has really appeared yet. oh and i'm sloooowly watching spy x family season 2 with a friend.

Currently Consuming: nothing, but i just ate sooooooo much rotini pasta :3 and i might make sotteok sotteok once i wash my pan out

Currently Craving: fried potato ...... any shape would be ok ...

IL GHIRLANDAIO (Domenico Bigordi o Domenico Curradi, Firenze 1448-1494)

Workshop of Domenico Ghirlandaio - Portrait of young woman (1490 ca) National Gallery, London

Taller de Domenico Ghirlandaio- Retrato de una joven mujer (1490 c.) National Gallery, London

Bottega del Ghirlandaio- Ritratto di giovane donna (1490 c.) National Gallery, London

(English / Español / Italiano)

In the mid-15th century, portraits of women began to change. Until then, female sitters were depicted in profile, a distant, formal pose ultimately drawn from ancient Roman coins. The young woman depicted here, whose name we do not know, is turned towards us in a three-quarter pose, revealing more of her face and allowing us to relate to her more directly. By using a perspective closer to that experienced in real life, the portrait is transformed from an image to an encounter with the individual portrayed.

Although probably idealised, as was common in portraits of the time (especially those of women), her features betray something of her character: we can read determination in her small but prominent chin. Portraits were thought to represent a person's whole being (appearance and personality) even after death.

When this painting was purchased in 1887, the sleeves of the girl's dress had been repainted; this layer was removed to reveal its original dark green colour. The girl's hairstyle, which was fashionable around 1490, and her clothing are very similar to a portrait of Selvaggia Sassetti attributed to Domenico Ghirlandaio's brother Davide (now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York). The portrait was once thought to be by Ghirlandaio's brother-in-law Sebastiano Mainardi, but it is not close enough to his style to be certain. It is more likely that the portrait was painted by an unknown member of Ghirlandaio's workshop, in his style.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

A mediados del siglo XV, los retratos de mujeres comenzaron a cambiar. Hasta entonces, las retratadas se representaban de perfil, una pose distante y formal extraída en última instancia de monedas romanas antiguas. La joven de la que se habla aquí, cuyo nombre no conocemos, está vuelta hacia nosotros en una pose de tres cuartos, revelando más de su rostro y permitiéndonos relacionarnos con ella de forma más directa. Al utilizar una perspectiva más cercana a la que se experimenta en la vida real, el retrato se transforma de una imagen a un encuentro con el individuo retratado.

Aunque probablemente idealizada, como era habitual en los retratos de la época (sobre todo en los de mujeres), sus rasgos delatan algo de su carácter: podríamos leer determinación en su barbilla pequeña pero prominente. Se pensaba que los retratos representaban todo el ser de una persona (aspecto y personalidad) incluso después de su muerte.

Cuando se compró este cuadro en 1887, las mangas del vestido de la muchacha habían sido repintadas; se quitó esta capa para revelar su color verde oscuro original. El peinado de la muchacha, que estaba de moda alrededor de 1490, y su ropa son muy similares a un retrato de Selvaggia Sassetti atribuido al hermano de Domenico Ghirlandaio, Davide (hoy en el Museo Metropolitano de Arte de Nueva York). En un momento se creyó que el retrato era de Sebastiano Mainardi, el cuñado de Ghirlandaio, pero no se acerca lo suficiente a su estilo como para estar seguros. Es más probable que el retrato lo hiciera un miembro desconocido del taller de Ghirlandaio, en su estilo.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Verso la metà del XV secolo, i ritratti di donna iniziarono a cambiare. Fino a quel momento, le donne erano raffigurate di profilo, una posa distante e formale che derivava in ultima analisi dalle antiche monete romane. La giovane donna qui raffigurata, di cui non conosciamo il nome, è rivolta verso di noi in una posa di tre quarti, che rivela maggiormente il suo volto e ci permette di relazionarci con lei in modo più diretto. Utilizzando una prospettiva più vicina a quella della vita reale, il ritratto si trasforma da immagine a incontro con la persona ritratta.

Anche se probabilmente idealizzati, come era comune nei ritratti dell'epoca (soprattutto quelli di donne), i suoi tratti tradiscono qualcosa del suo carattere: possiamo leggere la determinazione nel mento piccolo ma prominente. Si pensava che i ritratti rappresentassero l'intero essere di una persona (aspetto e personalità) anche dopo la morte.

Quando il dipinto fu acquistato nel 1887, le maniche dell'abito della ragazza erano state ridipinte; questo strato è stato rimosso per rivelare il colore verde scuro originale. L'acconciatura della ragazza, che era di moda intorno al 1490, e il suo abbigliamento sono molto simili a un ritratto di Selvaggia Sassetti attribuito al fratello di Domenico Ghirlandaio, Davide (ora al Metropolitan Museum of Art di New York). Un tempo si pensava che il ritratto fosse opera del cognato del Ghirlandaio, Sebastiano Mainardi, ma non è abbastanza vicino al suo stile per esserne certi. È più probabile che il ritratto sia stato dipinto da un membro sconosciuto della bottega del Ghirlandaio, nel suo stile.

I don’t usually read Webtoon but I can at least look it up!

Also Ella!! Yay!!! I love her sm I’d be more than happy to talk a bit more about her!

Her entire deal is that she is a winged Churl, which were thought to be extinct. If you look through the Genshin manga (or just look em up), you can see that they existed during the time Mond was under the aristocracy rule!

She is able to speak the common language and has “human” intelligence, making the Mondstadtians feel a bit off and iffy about killing them.

She a take-no-shit give-no-fucks kinda girl. She will fuck you up, no hesitation if you mess with her.

She’s essentially the Churl representative for Mond. Churls & humans have reached a kinda symbolic relationship here because of Ella’s & Ludwig’s attempts!

I can also say this about her, she fucking hates Liyue. She flew over it once, nearly got killed by a certain short Anemo boy. Fucking hates them. She hates a lot of thing ngl-

For world building I like to give them voice lines so here’s a few:

Good Morning: “What are ya doin’ out here? The sun’s barely up and you’re going f’ what? A walk?.. Let me come with. The sleepin’ pile’s gettin’ crowded.”

Good Night: “The moon’s up… Nice time f’ a bonfire beneath the stars… Wanna come? Pretty sure some of m’ mates are gonna sing some songs. You ever danced a Hilichurls waltz?”

Good Afternoon: “It’s nice ta take a moment… jus’ ta breath n’ take it all in… oh. You’re here too, I guess.”

Good Evening: “Nice crisp winds, perfect f’ flyin’. You got one of them uh… wing gliders? If not you can ride m’ back. No right grips or nothin’ though.”

When it Rains: “Guh… hate the rain… makes m’ hair all matted n’ stuff… you know how hard it is to comb ya hair with no hands?”

After the Rain: “Ngh… Now m’ all wet n’ cold n’ shiver-y…”

When it Snows: “GAH?! I don’t fly up Dragonspine f’ a reason!! To cold TO COLD!!”

When the Wind is Blowing: “Finally, some nice weather!”

About Ella: “What do ya wanna know me? M’ a talkin’ Churl who has wings. What else could ya possibly want ta know?”

About: Vision: “Vision? Don’t got one. Doubt the bast… I mean… people up in Celesta would even consider givin’ one to a ‘monster’ like me..”

About Diluc: “Diluc? Ya mean that guy who goes around at night beating m’ friends up? Yeah, hate his guts. Should see how he looks at me when I stroll around town durin’ th’ day.”

About Razor: “Wolfie? Ya I know im’. Nice little thing when ya really talk to im’. Nice hunter too. Gets th’ good stuff heh.”

About Klee: “The amount of time I’ve had ta tell her I ain’t for blowing up is insane. Good kid, don’t get m’ wrong just… uh… I don’t know what ta call her honestly…”

About Albedo: “The weirdo tries ta experiment on me every. Single. Chance he gets. Can’t shake im’ off or nothin’. Hate im’ and hate the way he looks at me… freak…”

I think I’m gonna stop here, but that’s the basis for her! She will beat you up, no hesitation, give her a chance. She will. And I wanna hear some of your ideas now that you know a bit about her! ☆૮꒰ˊᗜˋ* ꒱ა

Also more questions are always welcomed and appreciated!! ૮꒰˶ᵔ ᗜ ᵔ˶꒱ა˖⁺‧₊˚

So like, reading Maximum Ride again after like 4-6 years and like, there are so many things I’m questioning. For starter Manga reader only because I have this issue of not being able to read other forms of something I’ve already read. Brain kinda shuts down. So like

1) The whole Max, Martina (Martinez?), and Ella thing is just so strange. For starters Max is just awful. Prioritizing a random girl being cornered and has an easy escape route (Max took it after all) over your 6 year old sister who is in the hands of actual mad scientist who you know has actively done shitty unethical things is just, why?! Angel could’ve been saved just a bit earlier if you listened to Fang! But also the whole Martinez has something to do with the school but then it’s completely forgotten.

2) Max leaving the Blind guy and the 8 Year Old alone because “Angel (who is to young to know how to escape the school) might escape and come back here”. Gazzy has little combat experience because he is either told to run/hide or uses bombs and Iggy is BLIND!

3) Iggy really goes between I have the best hearing in the flock to I have normal human hearing. Like sometimes he can hear Erasers (like only twice?) or the homeless people in the subway and most of the time either he’s surprised by them (angel’s kidnapping or the ambush when Max and Fang leave) or Angel finds then before him (the two children). Like, JP make it’s consistent! Let Iggy be the Flock’s alarm so when they don’t have him in the group they suffer more casualties! Especially during when Erasers become robots so Angel becomes useless (like de buff the girl honesty)

4) speaking of Iggy. He has been shown enough times that he’s really REALLY smart. Building bombs, being able to remember recipes to cook, learning and mapping places out (E house and Anne’s place), yet JP literally doesn’t expand or utilize it to its fullest. Iggy could probably be the Flocks brain but no~, he’s to blind to be the flocks brain, let’s have Fang (the right hand man, second command of the flock, has invisibility powers and (I just learned) immortality) and Angel (child with telepathy, mind control, shapeshifting, and probably other things) be the brains and Max (leader and golden child) have moments here and there. The most I’ve seen of Iggy utilizing his brains was lock picking or making bombs/planning out traps. I could be missing some but JP makes it so hard to know.

5) the severe infantilism of Iggy

6) Gazzy still has no new power unlike everyone else (but Iggy’s are pretty shitty because they all are powers to “help him see without him actually seeing”). Like let him have telepathy or maybe a way that only him and Angel can communicate each other.

7) Nudge. Like she isn’t as bad as Iggy and definitely not the worst like Gazzy, but god she’s still really poorly written. She has this whole thing of not wanting to be a freak and wanting to find her family and wanting to be normal and not having to run all the time but every single one of these just stops on a dead note! It like stops existing after like 2-3 chapters and never brought up. Like she’s the most interesting girl in the flock but just so butchered.

8) their looks. Ok I’m not gonna harp so badly on the Manga artist because she is Korean and Korean beauty standards and all that is just bad in general but that’s just cultural differences. But one thing I never understand was that makeup transformation. Angel who has short hair suddenly has hair that goes below her neck. Nudge’s bleached streak somehow stays even though her natural hair should’ve shown by the 9 manga vol. Fang who always was shown with straight hair now has really curly hair. That’s not how hair works and let’s not talk about Iggy and those weird dark tips.

9) Fax and Ella/Iggy (which I learned was canon. I was wondering where all those Ella/Iggy stories came from) I don’t hate straight ships. I just hate these straight ships.

10) oh poorly written trauma handled even worse my beloved. Your telling me Iggy, the one who was awake the entire operation on his eyes doesn’t have trauma. Your telling me Fang, who almost died to an Eraser doesn’t have trauma. Your telling me Max, the one who continuously has a voice in her head, a chip in her shoulder, seeing an Eraser in the mirror doesn’t have trauma?! Angel?!

But like I could continue because there is so much but, there where definitely things I liked. I like how Iggy was drawn. Out of all the characters he looked always bony and skinny and long. Like even next to Fang who is supposed to be the same height he looks so twiggy and tall. Gazzy was so interesting because he was that grey “I suffered through the school but I was also way to young to remember” and I wish it was expanded more. I liked the Ari arc if you ignore every other Ari part in the story. Total was nice if we found nice as before he talked.

Like not to be the paranoid one but if I was in the flocked I would be questioning everything. A Gazzy photo from an abandoned apartment? They could’ve stuck it there after knowing their research was stolen just to trap the flock. Anna watching a new about Iggy’s parents? She purposely put it on so Iggy will be removed. Erasers still finding the flock? Did anyone thing that the others might have chips in them, especially when Fang, Gazzy, and Iggy where attacked. Also how does Fang still have his laptop when he was captured by the institute?
