#its a bit endearing

Dungeon meshi has wonderful and thought out world building but the inherent creator bias still shows through sometimes in small funny ways

I think it's actually soooooo funny that they killed off Xavier for a hot second just so he could come back as a paranoid believer. like I'm sorry but to attone for your cheating crimes we put you in a coma, gave you the death penalty, brought your ass back, and now you keep feeling ghosts but you can't see them yet and everything just feels weird and funky. also the girl you cheated on is kind of maybe sort of dead and you might be part of the cause of that. so like, good luck man, have fun.

I'm already getting the feeling that he's somehow gonna be even sillier this year 🤔

I really wanted to draw @clickety-clacker's Click clack and it ended up devolving really fast into sillies between their design and mine, apologies.

this is stupid

We are interrupting our regularly scheduled program to bring you a snippet of a potential ZoSan undercover as a married couple fic:

(Timeline wise shoehorned in sometime shortly after the timeskip, before the Strawhats make it back into the news big time.)

(People need saving from a exclusive circle of nobility, but most of the Stawhats have already been seen around the island, so the lot ends up on Zoro and Sanji to try get in posing as a freshly married couple on their honeymoon to try get more information.)

[after coming up with the plan and Zoro and Sanji hesitantly agreeing]

Robin: "You seem a little stressed, Cook-san."

Sanji, chain-smoking his third cigarette: "I'm fine, I'll do this… I just… I don't like lying about something as significant as marriage, alright? I know it's stupid, but that's just how I am."

Luffy, perking up from where one might have thought he wasn't paying attention at all: "Oi, Sanji, promise to protect Zoro?"

Sanji, puffing out smoke: "Obviously, the Marimo would get lost within all of two seconds without me having his back."

Luffy: "Good! Now, Zoro--!"

Zoro, already rising to the bait: "Oi, if anyone is protecting anyone, I'll be guarding your lanky ass, shit cook!"

Luffy, laughing: "Alright, then as the captain of this ship I hereby pronounce you married!"

Zoro:

Sanji:

Robin: "Oh my, congratulations!"

Brook: bursts into song

Luffy, grinning at Sanji: "See, now it's not a lie anymore, so you don't have to feel bad about calling Zoro your husband."

Zoro: "LUFFY!!! YOU CAN'T JUST--"

Sanji: wordlessly walks off to get ready for the mission

Usopp: "Wait, wait!" runs after Sanji, grabbing his wrist

Sanji: stares

Usopp, sweating nervously: "Need your ring size…"

Sanji: staring intensifies

Usopp, scurrying off as quickly as humanly possible: "Wedding gift!"

Luffy, in the distance, still being yelled at by Zoro: "Too bad we don't have time to celebrate, I really want some wedding cake… :("

"hello, this is luffy speaking" compilation

because i adore how he has this way of answering any ringing snail call, and with each new situation it feels it's escalating in importance of who is on the other side of the call! it's hilarious!

ch. 549, to navy, post impel down on way to marineford

ch. 651, to big mom, post fishman island

(look at that zoro grinning in the background at a typical luffy shenanigan, love that)

ch. 655, getting SOS from punk hazard, from later on we know it was kinemon

ch. 700, to doflamingo lmaoo

ch. 751, with robin, still in dressrosa getting in contact with his crew, it's just funny how that's always his opening line

ch. 1090, with the fricking gorosei while on egghead (aksjsdj this one rlly made me laugh)

+bonus, different tactics of other strawhats picking up the snail calls:

zoro and his demands, ch. 614, fishman island (even nami joining in when she hears about money, lol, and poor usopp, trying to always stop them from talking)

and ofc sanji and his 'restaurant le crap' in the little garden arc, on call with crocodile, ch 126

MY SHAYLAAAAAAAAAS OH MY SHAYLAS

A rather intriguing characteristic of psi battle is how it takes places in a mildly different timeline.

Although it happens after the cat tank arc, there's one key difference - Kuusuke did not make the device that removes Kusuo's powers.

This change is the driving force behind the plot, as in: pretty much everything happens because Kuusuke tried to find some other way to help Kusuo (which then backfired).

(That other way being creating fake worlds based on people's delusions.)

Modifying the plot like that also allows for some good moments, like Kusuo having to decide between accepting such reality and few characters' reaction to that.

the thing about julian's crush on jadzia is i love him being a bit pathetic about her in concept but i do not buy that he'd be obsessed with her for like actual years. he is a romantic at heart but i think he'd know when to give up. if someone doesn't stroke his ego within at least a month of him pursuing them it's over

[bluegarners]

although bruce has a dramatic flare big enough to put any broadway actor to shame, and he gets made fun of for it a lot, i think dick is a secret HUGE admirer of it. doesn't matter how many times he mocks the deep gravely voice of i'm batman, i think dick gets a huge kick out of it and thinks it's secretly so cool. especially!! when he was robin!! and his voice hadn't dropped yet and all he could do was dreammm about was one day getting a deep voice like bruce's and getting to use his own cool voice when talking to criminals to intimidate them. just like practicing the mimic in the mirror and playing audio recordings to himself, trying to master the pitch but his vocal cords literally unable to, and just waitinggg and hopinggg that one day he would get to sound as cool as his #1 hero

The flower saga continues I guess???

my bitching abt taking homestuck seriously as a text was apparently a prelude to me finally getting some coherent thoughts in order re: things im noticing this time around to do with The Time Period Of 2009 (an era in which i was. 10) . so that reread tag ive barely done anything with may finally get some use when i can make this into a semi-coherent point. not that i think im qualified to be saying anything about things but eh. might as well. but ill be curious to get opinions from people who Are better informed abt certain areas of pop culture

[atompalmers]

i like lucas 😌 and so do the orphans pretending that the orphanage wasnt getting torn the fuck up at the very end

pretending that there was any story left after lucas woke up in the hospital bed. im sorry for making cute headcanons about stupid movies. it will happen again

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986)

"You have one choice, boy: sex or the saw. Sex is... well, nobody knows. But the saw, the saw is family."

My most sensible prediction for Alecto is that at some point in the book, Alecto's soul will go into Noodle.

I really hope nothing bad will ever happen to Noodle but I think that her transfering to a non-human body will give her a very sweet moment of unbridled joy. We know Nona suffers from some sort of dysphoria, wishing she had more legs and finds hands a general nuisance. If anything I am rooting that Alecto will either find a way to transform herself or find another host because having been made as a Barbie is a masive disrespect to everything that she is.

And it might also save her from the fate of every cover character in this series and will survive to be there too in the epilogue.

Also it will be badass as hell and hilariously cartoonish for her to bite John's ass.
