"posting this because i NEEEEEED this on my blog" is probably going to be the caption for 95% of the Shin-chan stuff i post BUT IT IS NO LESS TRUE BECAUSE OF IT. Masaaki Yuasa is quickly becoming one of my favorite animators and i want to have easy access to ogle at his work at any time. and i hope for you to do the same! so here's his animation for Ending 3 of the show from 1993

You know that thing were teachers will just hover over you and be like "well what information is the question giving you?" And then they just stand there silent right behind you for over a minute. The looming isn't helping sir. If I knew the answer I would write it down. Trust me I am very well aware that I'm falling behind my classmates on this exercise. Alas! Lecture style lessons do not work with my brain. I take notes but in the effort to take better notes I end up missing important information and and since there class slides don't have the info on them I'm just screwed.

I don't actually know from sure but I was on a video call with our new IT manager dude and he was showing me a chatgpt transcript (and narrating the whole thing like I couldn't just. read it) and look I could be wrong but it sure looked like he had a history entry where he was trying to find out about the GDPR compliance of a product we use. from chatgpt

ur post about queerbaiting and the dismissal of people in fandom to critical analysis is so incredibly true thank you. i feel like marcille's writing in the anime has been super misogynistic a lot of the time and every time i bring this up all anyone wants to say is "well maybe this isn't for you! and you shouldn't watch the show!" like. i don't think this is about taste lmao, i am analyzing the text in front of me and coming to conclusions about the craft of it.

[This is in reference to this post]

YES!!! THANK YOU!!!!!

It is so so frustrating!!!!

It's like being at a restaurant and being served a bunch of delicious appetizers, but then one of the bread appetizers is literally just a plate of crumbs; and then when you're like, "Hey, uhh, why are we being served literal crumbs?", a bunch of the other folks eating at the restaurant are like,

"WELL HOW ABOUT YOU JUST DON'T EAT HERE THEN??!? YOU MUST NOT BE THAT HUNGRY, SO JUST FIND ANOTHER RESTAURANT AND DON'T EAT WITH US!!"

And maybe they say it politely, but "Aw, sorry, maybe this restaurant just isn't for you 💖" is just trading out an aggressive dismissive tone for a patronizing dismissive tone. It's the same message.

And it's like! I was honestly happy to move on from the crumbs once my complaint was acknowledged because the meal overall is still delicious, but then all these folks got SUPER WEIRD AND DEFENSIVE ABOUT IT, so now I find myself double-checking all the other dishes -- and, actually, you know what those eggs DO look a Iittle misogynistic undercooked!!!!

AO3 keeps blipping in an out so I'm not running the risk of trying to send a comment rn BUT I adore how you wrote Hueso. Polite but still dangerous. Also having Draxum as a head of security is rather interesting, I guess it makes sense, but considering how the Counsel feels about his experiments it's almost a wonder he's kept that position (or he hasn't and Hueso just doesn't know that yet haha)

It's worth mentioning that Draxum's exact role is, specifically, dealing with threats to the safety and security of the Hidden City/yokai-kind as a whole. As far as the Council of Heads is concerned, this means that he is supposed to protect the city by keeping it secret. (This is not what Draxum thinks his job is. He sees 'protect yokai' and 'keep the city secret' as two separate parts of the job description, which causes problems.) This means he has more of an auxiliary/ emergency role in protecting the city; if, say, a team of EPF soldiers discovered and broke into the city, it's Draxum's job to take care of them by any means necessary.

The Council actually wouldn't really have as much of problem with him creating mutants if it weren't for the fact that he's explicitly planning to use them against humanity, which as far as they are concerned, puts yokai at risk of discovery. Illegal genetic manipulation? Everyone needs a hobby. Using said genetic manipulation to mutate humans/attempting to annihilate humanity? That goes directly against what they want him to be doing.

As for Hueso, he's definitely working with information that's a bit outdated, not to mention that the fact that large portions of his clientele are criminals in some form or another so what he does hear is often a bit skewed. The yokai living on the surface are the likeliest source of the City and/or yokai being discovered, so they're pretty notably skittish around Draxum even if they aren't doing anything illegal. After all, it's literally his job to eliminate any threats to the city's security.

Steve is most likely to end up in a lavender marriage and Tony's most likely to end up in a “married for tax/immigration/inheritance fraud” reasons.

They meet as married men and pine for each other hardcore and are also trying not to read too much into how their interest seems reciprocated and oh nooooo both Immigration/the IRS and the the Church/in-laws/DADT era army dudes or whatever are snooping around at the same time at each of their marriages and they have to be so good at being married at the people they are married to oh noooooo and they other guy doesn’t know why they are suddenly being iced out and maybe they were just imagining things? maybe it’s for the best with all these eyes around on them…

Guys don't be a writer

Don't do it

One day you're gonna use a figure from mythology/religion as a secondary character in your story thinking he's nothing but a basic bitch practically nameless guy and then one day when you try to make a ranking system you'll find out that actually that character represents your zodiac sign in some circles, then in an effort to clarify what the hell happened there you'll find out he has another name that denotes that he's a SUPER big deal and also has another-nother name that's EXACTLY the same as your online pen-name and then that their power somehow perfectly fits the power system you've made for this story and then randomly you'll also find out that someone else used this character as the base for a DC character (Yes the comics) and you'll basically find some of that information in one night and then the rest over the next three years after the initial discovery and then one night three years later you'll find out something new about it that says that the original name you picked is actually this other big-name guy who's the entire leader of a rank that you ignored initially when making said ranking system and

I'm fucking spiraling guys
