'Let us say, however, that the reader would do wrong were he to blame Marius.' actually i think it's always right to blame marius. for everything ever

[shannonsketches]

like why did they change where Vegeta was when Cell announced the cell games in the anime

why did they make this vegeta starting shit with yamcha instead of chillin in the lab with his family? why did they take Bulma out of the lab? Why'd they say she was Out while Dr Brief was repairing 16? Why did they change Bulma working on advanced robotics to running in late with her baby?

it's the same scene except: - Bulma's actively at work being a scientist - Vegeta's not being rude to her (or anyone else!) - Vegeta waits for Trunks instead of leaving the room - Cell interrupted the airwaves, which means Trunks and Vegeta were just hanging out with Bulma and Dr B while they were working

Those are all Great Character Details!! That the anime rails against!!

hii! honeslty just curious, I read/watched kuroshitsuji AGES ago and I don't think I've finished the manga anyway, does grell go by she/her?? I vageuly remember ppl headcanonning them as enby though iirc in canon he's a guy?

Your tags peaked my curiosity, I haven't seen any Kuro content in a hot minute, but I remember it being the absolute must watch in my peak anime watching years lol And I absolutely loved the manga's artstyle

in canon grell is a trans woman, yana toboso has said something like "grell is a man with a woman's heart" ages ago and sometimes around 2014/16 had tweeted something about wanting to be more careful with her representation of people like grell in the future, don't quote me on that thought because i only read that tweet once and only remember reading a shitty screenshot of a translation of that interview where she allegedly said that.

i can however show you this:

it's from a bonus chapter (after chapter 108) about the popularity polls (it's a very convoluted non canon chapter) but it's one of the most blatant example of her being trans.

there's also the way she constantly refers to herself as a "young maiden" ect. idk how it goes exactly in the og but in french they translated it so grell always refers to herself with feminine terms while everyone else misgender her including the narrator. she very consistently reaffirm herself as a woman through every single ones of her appearances, like it's a thing she very much does, every single time she's on screen.

i haven't watched the anime in forever (cause it's kind of a disgrace and insult to the manga lol) but if i remember properly (which i mostly likely don't) they did omit/lowkey censor some of grell explicitly going "i wish i had been born a woman/could have been able to carry children" when she first properly introduce herself as a shinigami & the other half of jack the killer. (the anime also really did lean a lot more into the pervert queer caricature whereas in the manga she's given a bit more dignity, especially the further the story goes. though that might be my own impression and maybe it didn't change that much i just love her a whole lot).

also because i have to, please forget the anime (the first two seasons that is) and read the manga first and foremost because oh boy, what a disaster the anime is (nostlagia and atmosphere wise it's entertaining, i really love the op & ed, but it just, i just cant man it doesn't even compare to the manga at all). only watch book of circus -> book of murder -> campania movie -> the new private school arc that's coming soon (idk what they called it) after reading the manga.

not to be a gatekeeper unironically but i genuinely feel a very, very small percentage of people actually understand crocodile. and if you think you're in that small percentage you're probably the exact kind of person I am talking about. Not to be mean but to be mean.

this is mainly directed at genderbenders and dofuwani shippers. neither of y'all understand crocodile and do not deserve access to him

Whats your favorite dbh Line

Ooh nice question! I love the line when Markus is angry with Carl when he visits him after the Jericho raid, and Carl makes some dumb comment about Markus's "hatred", to which Markus replies "What you call hatred is just anger in the face of injustice!" it's entirely true and probably my favourite line, but I like others as well

Idk it’s actually almost hilarious that they made Dracula in Netflixvania just… Some guy

You could argue that the show ‘tried’ to showcase him as an extremely intelligent and powerful being but if you remove the part where he’s old and has a house that moves and he’s literally no different than any other vampire so all that build up was for absolutely fucking nothing. In Netflixvania vampires ruling large sectors of land isn’t special [Especially when Camilla says something about her being a regional ruler like that’s borderline insignificant], vampires having supernatural powers isn’t special, vampires being intelligent beyond their era isn’t special. Dracula isn’t special.

I’m not sure if they just missed the point of his character that badly or if they genuinely didn’t know how to make him a cruel, obsessive, vengeful monster AND a merciful, loving, compassionate father and husband even though those two aspects of his character are so intrinsically linked they can’t be separated.

They tried making him a father and husband and they tried making him a monster but for one reason or another they couldn’t do both so his entire character was watered down at best

Dracula lost all dignity the moment Carmilla #girlbossed into the throne room:

Look at him. He can't even tell his own court to be silent. Maybe you should try to raise your voice, genius?

And then there's Carmilla. She literally stands there, smug as hell, and her very first course of action is to blame Dracula for moving the castle around, insult his generals for being incompetent and in disarray, and oh, question him in front of everyone why didn't he just turn Lisa? What, did he like having a pet? Like, the sheer amount of blatant, brazen disrespect!

(I also misremembered Carmilla's line. I thought the implication was "well, had you turned her, she would still be alive". No, she just deadass calls Lisa his pet. In front of him.)

... Dracula does nothing to her.

Oh, he pretends to be furious, red eyes and all. But he only asks her "why did you do that?" (after some personal smalltalk, may I add) and Carmilla is like "eh everyone is thinking the same thing, so I wanted to put you on the spot <3", and... nothing happens from here. He's like "welp, nothing I can do to her, she can rejoin the others".

Do I need to say what Dracula does to people who disrespect him?

And this is his prized General whom he needs. Not a random "regional ruler", one of many.

Also look at Carmilla's mannerisms in the second scene. She's like "yes?" with a cocked eyebrow and a hand on her hip, before shifting to a more respectful stance. She's lying out of her sparkly ass. This is as subtle as a taser to the balls.

I'm not impressed by Carmilla's manipulations when literally everyone around her is a giant, steaming idiot.

Also, another thing that bothers me. Dracula in S2 is frequently depicted in his... private quarters, I think? This room with the fireplace. And look at the framing:

Carmilla is standing above Dracula, who is slumped in a low, unassuming chair.

Framing matters to convey how important a character is. Observe:

Dracula in S2 is constantly put on the same level as his subordinates. This is made even more blatant in the scene where he asks Isaac if he's still his friend, where he sits next to him.

Dracula is not a ruler in S2, and it was done on purpose. He is portrayed as a depressed old man who only wants to die and take everyone else with him, and he has lost his mind so much that Carmilla can take the reins for herself. The OCs all sit around and talk about him as if he's a delusional idiot, looking down on him, and we're supposed to think they have a point because they are never challenged on it. This is the main villain of the franchise. The fucking FRANCHISE and SHOW are named after HIS DAMN CASTLE! He's kind of important!

Shankar talks as if he had the idea of turning Dracula into a tragic figure, but he did not. That has been a core part of his character since SoTN. And expanding on it would have worked fine! But they went way too far in that direction, and forgot that yes, Dracula is a grieving husband with a complicated relationship with his son, yes he can feel emotions... but he's also the fucking Dark Lord with the legions of Hell under his command, he can curse and possess and shapeshift and you do not fuck with him unless you're a Belmont or you have Dracula's own power by your side.

And as I said, the fact that Trevor can barely scratch this neutered version of Dracula only speaks poorly of him too.

Ok not to be a freak but .... why does sekiro not automatically volunteer to be the "cradle" in the "return" ending. Like.....the only stated qualifications are 1) must be immortal (which sekiro is already) and 2) must eat the snake livers (which sekiro already has on his person).

Like, just given everything we know about sekiro and his commitment to being like..... the only person who bears all the sacrifices for kuro bc that's the only way he knows how to inhabit his devotion ....he really ought to have been like "I'll do it" when the divine child brings up this possibility, to which the divine child could have been "no, you can't because xyz nonsense reasons"

Just seems so weird that he wouldn't offer???

Every single time I defend someone shitty who has done nothing but be a cunt to me because they did 1 (ONE ) decent thing THEY ALWAYS TURN AROUND AND DO SOMETHING SO MUCH WORSE TO ME

“Ethan had ECON!!! UWU” 🥺🥺🥺

Y’all really want him to have done NOTHING?? The character in this movie with the most potential to be a great Ghostface, and you want his potential to have been 100% WASTED?? Did y’all just want him to stand there, be your Gen Z Pretty Boy™/Soft Boi™ and then fucking die?!

This shit coincides with this dumbass narrative I keep getting bombarded with; and it just shows that most people only like characters based on their looks, not based on their potential or who they are as characters. 🙄 (Also, there is no way that Wayne would’ve bothered with something as goofy and dumb as smacking the ladder around! 😭)

I don't understand how people like Ivan. Have him as a favorite of theirs. Not being mean, but a bit....

I don't.

Feel right.

I'm quite.... Alienated.

More ways then one. Even with others like myself

I hate it

so i'm watching youtube, right? when suddenly my tv bursts into flames. so that's fun 🙃

[milkteamoon]

The reason Jon and Elias have this weird psychosexual tension in every scene they're in together is because they are the same. The reason they are always 0.2 seconds away from killing each other is also because they are the same. Do you understand me

Important part of Jon and Elias's vibe that I feel like gets overlooked a lot is that Jon is equally as much of a pain in the ass to Elias as Elias is to him. The powers that be hand delivered him the perfect guy to craft a linchpin out of for his two century old scheme and it turned out to be the nosiest bastard in all of London who is obsessed with being right. This is Elias we're talking about. We're talking about Mr "Doesn't Like Getting His Hands Dirty" here. Mr Perpetual Middle Management. Mr "Sat On His Ass For 200 Years Waiting For An Opportunity Instead of Getting Out There and Making Something Himself" getting conned into shaping his antichrist out of the guy who's first instinct towards dealing with his problems is to take a literal ax to them. It's like throwing two unsocialized cats in a bathtub together. This is why Elias doesn't believe in fate
