Kamina! I'm a big fan of this guy

[vilevileposting]

I'm reading homestuck for the first time (Weeks 5 and 6)

I keep forgetting to post these and I'm sorry!

I've been enjoying going around telling people homestuck is good actually. That's a role I never got to occupy in my young life as homestuck passed me by. So far zero people have believed me and I don't expect that to change.

I have now seen a picture of a troll! Foul little imp

I *am* left with my first little critique of homestuck: Act 3 felt like it was building to the End of Act 3 flash, like it was trying to outdo End of Act 2. Setting things up almost more for the payoff of the flash than for the sake of the story. I don't think a series of lore bombs is a very good way to structure a story, and I'm worried that's the structure the series is going to take. That said, it *is* fun in the moment, it's only in hindsight that I'm thinking this.

Our dealer and homestuck veteran Char has been writing discussion questions for our weekly book club meetings (sometimes), and I've decided to include those along with my answers.

Week 5

980: I bet If I could pause here I’d see something wacky

1000: Interesting that John changed his name *to* Ectobioloist from something else, especially after the prior reveal that ectobiology is a thing in this setting. ARGH I SHOULD HAVE FINISHED THE PAGE BEFORE WRITING THIS NOTE

1022: Tempted to go back and look… This is the kind of thing I’d miss.

1024: This exchange makes me feel like I’m right about both their parents, but I’m getting a little used to the rug pulled out from under me. I feel like I’m picking up on a kind of rule of threes. If I’m right about something, my attention’s drawn to it once, and then the second time it shows up is confirmation. But if I’m wrong, my attention is drawn to it, then my conclusion is hinted at more blatantly in a “it sure looks like that huh” kind of way, and finally the third time it appears is the rug pull. I can’t think of an example following this format right off the melon, I’m going off pure vibes sleep deprived and on a plane.

1026: There are two towers on that funny moon, and it’s notable to me that Rose’s real life house is based on them.

1033: I know those weary eyes!!!!

1039: I appreciate the harsh spike in Gun Realism

1043: Notable to me that the Peregrine Mendicant’s awesome sword is black in color, when you would expect the Light Guys to have white weapons. If indeed he is a Light Guy as Jade’s dream implied.

1046: I would like to apologize for my repeated misgendering of the Peregrine Mendicant. I did it on purpose out of malice. I’m a DEMON

1049: What does this MEAN

1051: Seems like Rose might have been onto something with her subconscious doodling theory, because it only just occurred to me that this takes place prior to basically every other event. Also what does this MEEEEAAAAAN

1062: Pressure cooker bomb reference

1064: Second coming of decoding foreshadowing. Very notable that they got a potted plant, which I seem to recall was one of the things in the jetpack!

1070: Bro EXECUTED Cal for NO REASON!!! THEN LEFT ON A HOVERBOARD!!! I’m telling you in terms of power scaling Dave’s brother is clearly unstoppable.

1093: This has *gotta* be them.

1096: Kamina glasses…….

1099: What is it with Dr. Hussie and ethnic weddings

1108: I was on board for a mayor and a mailwoman, but I am not here for a cop guy

1110: I feel better about a judge guy.

1133: I’m uncertain about Bec’s nature. For a hellbeast, he seems to also be quite cooperative.

1136: Seems like a paradox in the form of sending items to the past is allowed, but not taking items.

1149: Without a pause button I’m just utterly unequipped to handle this – I wrote BEFORE realizing that Nanna’s note is the same note we saw in John’s dad’s copy of Sassacre’s, except written in John’s copy and dropped into the void. This affects the timeline! And I’m really not sure how. I might need to rescind my earlier comment about Nanna being a willing participant in all this, which seems like it may no longer be true. Somehow this copy goes from the void to John’s dad’s safe, then back around again, presuming it’s the closed time loop it seems to be. No clue how that’s gonna come together.

1152: Is this one of the planets we saw? In the process of checking, I notice that there is a LUMINOUS PLANET with a SINGLE MOON, exactly like the one Jade dreamed about. Going by the art style, that indicates this luminous planet and the shadow planet are the sort of centers of light and dark we’re working with. Anyway, if this is one of the four planets then I think it’s the dark cloudy one, or possibly the not so dark (kinda bright actually) cloudy one. A thought that occurs to me now, days later, is that we have 2/4 kids accounted for in dreamland and the shadow planet also has a moon.

There were no discussion questions for Week 6.

Week 6: If Homestuck Book Club was mpreg our child would have a heartbeat.

1159: I think this is the guy in John’s house and I’m not checking.

1169: That’s a setting-specific captchalogue analogue!!! And it’s the same as Wandering Vagrant’s tattoo!!!!!!!!

1170: Hidden message vibes.

1171: Hidden message vibes intensify…

1177: Standing out to me how things get swapped. Clubs Deuce seems to have swapped here with Hearts Boxcars, and a moment ago, the Spade Key was swapped with the rules for blackjack and the war chest was swapped with the deck of cards. If Clubs and Hearts are paired somehow then that would leave Spades paired up with Diamonds, and the rules for blackjack don’t seem very diamondy. I don’t think that’s what’s going on.

1210: Damn I wish I knew how to play poker

1215: Purple planet with a moon…

1219: I saw that the doom wardrobe whatever it was called was the same as Jade’s, but now with John’s bathtub in play I notice all the inventory options are themed after the four kids.

1353: It finally happened

Q: Where do you think the midnight crew and their foes are from? Who does Spades Slick look suspiciously like, and what do we know of his origins?

A: Spades Slick looks exactly like the Warden guy, and for a moment, a lot like WV/PM. He showed up under almost identical circumstances to them too, wandering a destroyed world, and for some reason, making a city. Or present band of synonyms for Wandering Vagrant are uniquely insistent upon civics, with a mailwoman, a mayor, and a judge. It could be that after worlds are destroyed, these guys show up and make something. It’s unclear to me why, or how to categorize everything. The plot of Midnight Crew centers around a conflict of black vs green, not black and white. They did say darkness always wins, maybe there was some other force (time?) before light? We don’t really know where this interlude falls in the timeline, if it falls anywhere at all. For example, if Spades Slick becomes the Warden, or vice versa. Or the secret third option. If those bar codes are an analogue for captchalogue cards, then it stands to reason that that code can be used to replicate the thing it designates. They could just be clones.

Q: Did you understand... any? of the time fuckery?

A: I followed the thread but I could not retell the story if I tried.

Q: Who is the weird little grey fucker at the end of the intermission?

A: John Stuck

Q: What's Snowman's deal? Will she ever be killed?

She’s clearly an imp-thing turned traitor, but there’s so little to go off of. The o in her name wasn’t green at any point, and she’s not shown to have a power besides taking the world with her if she dies. So she’ll probably die. Former Mayor Hussie isn’t striking me as someone who flinches.

Q: Who of these characters, if any, do you think might reappear in Homestuck?

If nobody else, definitely Spades Slick and Snowman. Maybe Lord English, maybe the rest of the Crew.

HC MEME  ✹  romance

name: viral teppelin

nickname: fuzzball, furry - and other variations of rude shit that Avant and Kamina use.

gender: male

romantic orientation: demisexual

preferred pet names: he actually doesn’t mind petnames, except for the rude ass shit that Kamina and Avant tend to come up with.

relationship status: multiship/&&/or/polyamorous depending on partner's preference. 

favorite canon / fandom ship: weak af for Simon/Viral, but I’m good with all of them, tbh.

favorite crossover ship: STILL WAITING FOR THIS TO H A P P E N.

opinion on true love: he absolutely cherishes the idea of true love, but he has doubts that he’ll find it for himself. his experiences have been pretty rough thus far.  

opinion on love at first sight: he believes in perceiving a connection as forged in combat, or through a spiritual convergence of some kind, but he wouldn’t call it “love” right away. Though he would be inclined to investigate the possibility by interacting further. 

how ‘romantic’ are they?: he’s hopelessly romantic, but he generally puts up a stoic or patently tsundere front if he doesn’t feel one hundred percent secure in the relationship. once he’s comfortable though, he’s a bigass moe cat.

ideal physical traits: he doesn’t dwell on the appearance so much, given that he comes across so many different types of beings and races while roamin’ through space.

ideal personality traits: he appreciates a bold heart and a freedom-loving spirit the most, because he’s attracted to strength both internal and physical. kindness, too, goes a long way. in a compatible personality, he would want to see that they could both celebrate and protect each other’s values (both the intangible and material) and that they could communicate honestly with one another, as equals.

unattractive physical traits: viral is pretty accepting of another’s physical state, honestly. I mean I guess if they were the Sludge Villain from BnHA, being a gooey asshole, he would definitely find them unattractive, but that’s mostly because that was an asshole, and less because he was a sludgy fellow. 

unattractive personality traits: cruelty, maliciousness, having a tyrannical outlook, oppressive methods, disrespect for life, ignorance in preference of truth, disinterest in personal growth, indifference towards his passions/or towards passions at all, possessing an overbearing nature, cowardliness or justifying one’s mistakes, one who is comfortable abandoning or using others for selfish or harmful purposes

                         ....this list could get long, honestly, he’s picky here.   

ideal date:  a romantic encounter beneath the stars, whether on the chouginga or on a planet -- something that brings them, as a small part of a much greater whole, into focus as being united pair in the bigger process of life. or, a scenic encounter near the ocean. also, a sweet little adventure in a marketplace on some world, sampling cuisine and picking out souvenirs and gifts for each other, as they learn/or teach about a new culture together (or if his date shares their culture with him, somehow. he loves becoming a part of someone’s life story though little connections like that.)

do they have a type?: he tends to like good guys who have more worth than they know/ or display. and maidens with strong hearts who find their own way to protect who/what they care about. he has a weakness for the ones who think they’re so bad but in reality they’re not even close to how ruthless he was as a young murderkitten -- because it kind of showcases how morally centered they actually are, without them realizing it. maybe he doesn’t have a type because he has many, hah.

average relationship length: he’s a full-time honey. once he falls, he don’t get back up.

preferred non-sexual intimacy: he’s a nuzzler type, forehead snuggles, neck nuzzles, etc. he’s weak for kisses and for playing with one anothers’ hands. he’s the cuddling type also, who likes to let his partner sleep against him. damn near any affection really.

commitment level:  m a x e d. and he has the immortality to prove it out.

opinion of public affection: depends on how comfortable he is with the other person. if he feels that their bond is secure, viable, and trustworthy, then it’s fine to be a little brazen -- regardless as to who they are. If he thinks it might be a ruse or lacking in commitment, then he’s very reserved and possibly tsundere about the idea.

past relationships?: so he’s not had many of these, but I would say he and Simon work in a very intimate partnership. At the very least, he adores and respects Simon, so regardless as to how their relationship is viewed/handled, it’s probably the best consideration in this category.  Plus I write my own Simon so I can say they ship and no one has to deal with me personally on that front if they disagree lmao.  

         This post will probably be updated if any more shipping details pour in!!

So what were your thoughts after finishing gurren lagann?

I'm sorry to say, I didn't like it much. I definitely enjoyed the show more post time skip than I did pre time skip though, but not by much.

There were moments that I came close to absolutely loving the show, but they didn't last long enough to cement that love. Be warned, unpopular opinions are incoming!

As far as things I liked; 1.) The development of every single secondary & side character was unbelievably fun to see. I was far more interested in seeing what they were up to than I was anyone else, because I didn't think the core cast was going to change much. (And they didn't.)

2.) The overall development of the world they were in was fucking phenomenal and it's a shame we don't actually get to spend a whole lot of time seeing much of the newly developed world before they fuck off into space to do fighty robot things. The environment post time skip is far more interesting and rich than the environment pre time skip. (I understand fully that this was intentional, obviously.)

3.) The last few episodes were an absolute visual treat. Colorful, fluid, masterfully chaotic. Just a lot of fun to watch.

4.) The way the plot unfolded was insane and so captivating. The climax of the story was *almost* worth sitting through every other unlikeable thing about the show.

5.) I really, really, really appreciate how the show ended. I've always admired that just about everyone was capable of piloting Gurren Lagann and that it wasn't reserved solely for the main character. Passing the key to Gurren Lagann on to Gimmy was very heartwarming to witness. Even though I think Darry would have been a better pick, but that's just because I love Darry and she is my waifu.

Things I didn't like; 1.) Nia (before becoming an anti-spiral), Simon, and Yoko did not change *at all*.

They *almost* made Yoko a likeable, useful, and interesting character when she took on her identity as a teacher. Of course, they reduced her back to being a one-shot with her rifle and fodder for fanservice all in one episode. They also repeated their cheap tactic of making Yoko the source of a random, unnecessary, last minute romance for another character moments before that characters death in an attempt to make me care more and, once again, it failed miserably.

Nia, prior to becoming an anti-spiral, has not shown any development in the seven fucking years that have passed and that is a massive oversight. Someone as inquisitive and curious about human life as Nia should not be nearly as ditzy, airheaded, and oblivious as she still is. Nia seems to understand childbirth and pregnancy (as she is fully aware of the birth taking place in the episode and doesn't question it or seem surprised in any way), but doesn't understand marriage? I refuse to believe that in the seven years that have passed, Nia doesn't know what marriage is or have a better understanding of human life. They kept her a clueless idiot for the sake of preserving the cute innocence that being dumb comes with, but it was very underwhelming when I wanted to see Nia a well integrated and educated member of the new society.

Simon. Fucking Simon. I loved him. A great character with great development who had his own unique identity and was genuinely a joy to journey with, and they decided to strip all of that away and turn him into a carbon copy of Kamina. He just became less and less Simon as the episodes went on and by the end I just couldn't be bothered to like him anymore.

Aside from this, I really hated the way Simon and Nia's relationship developed. We all know they had feelings for each other, sure, but in the seven year time skip they didn't bother to establish some kind of formal romantic relationship? It just felt rushed for Simon to go from having a friendly and professional relationship with Nia to asking her to marry him. (Especially when Nia doesn't understand marriage which is something Simon should be aware of given how long they've known each other.)

The on time I came close to crying throughout the entire show was when they showed us a glimpse of Viral with his family. That hurt my heart like nothing else.

Nia's death (along with every other character death) was not the least bit surprising or impactful, especially given that we are told Nia is going to die long before it happens. Deaths in Gurren Lagann also suffer from the lack of suffering. None of the characters who die seem the least bit bothered by their deaths and neither does anyone else. It just makes it really hard to care when the characters themselves don't seem to care.

Overall, I'd give it a 6 or 7 out of 10. I realize my thoughts on the show are not popular or shared by many others, and that's alright. I honestly enjoyed my housemates reaction to the show more than the show itself and I would absolutely watch the show over again if I got to watch it with him. It's one of his favorites and I adored his excitement for the show.

Dangan Ronpa V3, chapter 3 free time!

Time to explore!

There’s a hidden Monokuma in Kaede’s lab. Ryoma’s lab’s been cleaned up by Monokuma, and the shower room is inaccessible because Shuichi doesn’t need to take a shower. The gym has also been cleaned up, and the inner tube in the pool has been neatly put away.

OK, the blackboards show different things in different chapters when you go into search mode. Or maybe it’s because we’re playing as Shuichi? I didn’t check them last chapter.

Monokuma knows. He knows that in order to be a Dangan Ronpa player character, an ahoge is necessary.

Another hidden Monokuma’s in the boiler room.

Oh, we can retry the escape game, huh?

Well, that didn’t work. I wonder what would even happen if we completed it successfully?

Found another Hidden Monokuma near the Kumasutra Hotel. I bet the last one is in the racing minigame again…

The casino minigames now include Mind Mine and Psyche Taxi equivalents.

Treasure Hunter Monolith: the music reminds me WAY too much of Chiaki’s execution music from DR2…

Outlaw Run: I am still very bad at this minigame. Give me Logic Dive back!

Don’t know how to unlock any category besides “Kind” for these minigames. Betting max coins didn’t work, getting an S rank didn’t work. Advancing a chapter hasn’t worked for the Hangman’s Gambit one, either.

Oh, did the exchange always sell Monopad themes?

Anyways, on to the actual free time! I’m gonna hang out with Kaito.

Kaito is still upset people are lumping Maki and Kirumi into the “murderous fiend” category. Let’s calm him down with this moon buggy model!

Kaito tell us about how astronaut training is super intense, and it’s a lot of work…but the universe is a harsh place. He’s got to be able to handle crazy situations if he wants to explore it. For the first two years of training, he learned the basic skills needed to be an astronaut – medicine, engineering, scuba diving, linguistics, survival training…pretty much everything.

There’s a training facility for astronauts at the bottom of the ocean? The most important thing for an astronaut is communication and teamwork. No one person can hope to explore space by themselves…you need a team, and you need to trust in that team. The facility at the bottom of the ocean helps people learn to work as a team. Also, as part of communication training, you have to master other languages and cultures…Kaito is fluent in Japanese, English, and Russian. He might be an idiot sometimes, but Kaito sure is incredible…

Bedtime already? I wonder if trying the escape game took up a portion of free time?

The Monokubs sure look beat up…well two of them at least. Monodam sure is harsh…

Time to train with Kaito! On our way out, we see Angie, who’s still trying to convert everyone. She claims to be prepared to work with everyone to make the Academy a paradise on Earth. Considering how well her last attempt at that went…hmmm.

Shuichi shows up to the usual training spot, but Kaito is nowhere to be f-

Oh. There he is, dragging Maki behind him. Well, I guess we’re all training together, huh?

Kaito kept ringing her doorbell till Maki answered. Then he dragged her here.

Maki thinks the whole idea is stupid and heads back to her room. Kaito tries to convince her to stay by…Kaito. Kaito, that’s stupid. You aren’t the hero of this story, and Maki isn’t gonna be willing to be your sidekick.

Kaito does say that from his perspective he might be the hero, but from our perspectives, we each are the hero of our own stories.

Maki knows from experience that this will all end in tears. But Kaito calls her out on the what he believes is the real reason she isn’t interacting with anyone. She’s afraid. She’s running away, when she should be standing tall and fighting.

Maki is getting pissed. Kaito, this is…

…going to work out well after all. Maki agrees to train, just so Kaito will stop bugging her about it.

And now. 100 pushups! Shuichi’s body is in hell, Kaito is going along…Maki is almost done. You don’t become an assassin by being out of shape.

Kaito tells her to show up for training tomorrow too. Maki ignores him and walks away.

Ah, so it ties back into what he was saying in the free time event. Teamwork…if you see someone who is weak, you help them become strong. Someone is suffering? You can’t just walk away. Kaito mentions that Shuichi and Maki’s cases are a bit different. Back to the rest of the pushups.

Monokuma Theater ti-

…Monodam Theater time.

He’s wearing a leather jacket and Kamina shades.

Morning announcement. Everyone will gather in the gym to get along, huh? Assembling in the gym is usually a rather bad thing. I’m not sure what to expect.

Kiyo mentions how he overslept, but is usually up by 6 AM and ready to go at 7:30 AM. A half hour to get ready? Is it because of his uniform? Kaito is also around but not going to the gym yet. He’s gonna make sure Maki comes with him to the gym, since everyone needs to show up. If someone doesn’t, who knows what could happen.

Outside, Himiko is complaining about having to go to the gym so early in the morning. Shuichi is apprehensive about all this, and Himiko mentions a student council meeting. What? Oh. Oh boy. Angie wants to throw a party…Atua decreed it would be a pool party?

Monokuma shows up. Looking awful still, huh? Is he gonna tempt us to peek on the girls’ pool party? Is this the scene that the Man’s Desire Gun or whatever unlocks?

Monokuma just stares at us until we randomly have a fantasy come up in our mind. A Man’s Fantasy, to be specific. Oh boy. Shuichi finds himself unable to resist it. Swimsuits…a zany-yet-romantic scene…yet, on the other hand, if anyone saw him, Tenko would beat him half to death twice…oh well, if such is the price we must pay…

Inside the Academy now…Keebo’s also worried about the sudden summons. Another motive, most likely. Keebo is determined to stop anyone from killing, no matter what!

In the gym, which again, has been cleaned up post-trial, we find everyone else. Miu talks about the computer on the 4th floor…the specs are insane…

Keebo is jealous of the computer. Godammit, I know Miu was being super suggestive at you, but…come on. You’re basically a computer yourself, anyways.

Kokichi is unnerved by Maki’s presence, and immediately begins trying to ruin the fragile atmosphere. Then Gonta shows up. He’s about to tell us something serious about the courtyard, possibly something that will help us make sense of “horse a”? Then the Monokubs show up before he can finish his sentence.

Monodam has a motive, all right. A motive to get along?

Tsumigi and Keebo…I’m getting the feeling Angie brainwashed them into her Atua cult too…Himiko was already in, but, um…

The motive will inspire fear like never before…forcing the Ultimates to unite to fight against it. Monotaro and Monophanie prepare to present, on Monodam’s behalf, the motive! It’s…a transfer student. What?

Resurrect one of the four people who’ve died so far…? How? Using the computer? Are we gonna resurrect Kaede? Or perhaps Kirumi, since she’s important to the world? Rantaro, so we might learn his talent? Ryoma…probably wouldn’t care to be resurrected. Anyways, what the fuck, and also, that’s the meaning behind the chapter title.

The Necronomicon? We’ve got a copy of that?

Once resurrected, we can welcome the student back, or, if we want to, kill them off again immediately. They’ll be part of the game again, in other words. Thanks for telling us that, Monotaro.

Monodam has no such thanks. Monotaro blames his exposition of killing on old habits.

Monodam instructs Monophanie to punish Monotaro…this is a complete reversal, the students are being spared and it’s Monotaro and Monophanie who are in deep shit. Monotaro doesn’t want to be punished by Monophanie, since he mocks for dumb shit all the time. Monophanie, remembering those times, decides sure, she’ll do it. Then the Kubs leave.

How can anyone believe that the dead can be resurrected? Well, Kiyo thinks that not believing it to because it’s scientifically impossible is folly in and of itself.

Funeral ceremonies…like the one we saw of ourselves…

Sending the dead to the next world. HMMM.

Kiyo believes souls are real…but they can’t be reached once the person is dead. Resurrecting the dead is impossible.

Angie believes it isn’t so strange, though. It’s not so much bringing the dead back to life as returning the dead to us…the difference is, the crime scenes were cleaned up perfectly. Perhaps the dead…had their deaths faked by Monokuma or themselves? In which case, they’re alive? Could the bodies have been fakes? If Monokuma and the Exisals can exist, is it possible for realistic corpses to?

Shuichi wants all this to be true, but he can’t believe it really is. To do so would be to turn away from the truth.

Gonta brings up that if the students were alive, they’d have to be here somewhere. Maybe one of them wrote “horse a” in the courtyard. He was gonna tell us something about the courtyard. Was it that the message is now longer?

“Twnm I”?

I see. The horse message wasn’t meant to be read  from top to bottom. It was meant to be read from left to right. TH, WOR, SE, N, I, MA…?

And the Monokubs left the Necronomicon here for us. It’s definitely a motive…but what kind? Maybe it’s a motive like this: we ignore it and the four people who are still alive somehow die for real? Angie is very appreciative of Gonta’s story…she goes over and hugs him…is she…she’s trying to get him to believe in Atua. Soon she’ll have brainwashed like half the survivors.

A gentle grandma? Isn’t Atua a handsome man? Himiko says Atua’s appearance depends on who’s looking. Kokichi thinks that sure is suspiciously convenient. Angie invites Gonta to the student council that Himiko mentioned. Apparently it’s part of Angie’s plan to stop the killing game. Keebo, Himiko, Tenko, Tsumugi, and Angie all met up and agreed to make the Ultimate Academy Student Council. Angie came up with the idea, and is Student Council President. Which means Atua is the one really in charge. Of course. Kokichi declares them brainwashed…Kiyo agrees. The Ultimate Academy, under the conditions of the killing game, is the perfect breeding grounds for a cult. And this has all the markings of a cult. Keebo, Tenko, and Tsumugi, and now Gonta, have been taken in by this nonsense…Tenko even put aside her love for Himiko to give her love to Atua instead.

Maki points out how clear of a trap the resurrection ritual is…but it’s to no avail. The Student Council members are beyond the reach of logic or reason. Meanwhile, Kaito’s been really quiet this whole time, and I’m somewhat worried about him.

But there’s no time to be worried…we need to head to the pool and spy on the girls, pronto!

Two girls wearing only bikini bottoms. One girl wearing pantaloons. And Tenko, fully in the nude. Enjoy the view, Shuichi, I guess? (Or, you could just ask Miu to flash you? Where is she anyways? Was she not invited? Guess not, student council girls only)

Himiko would rather conserve her MP than use them to grow her boobs as big as Tenko’s. She’s awfully jealous. Tenko reassures her that Himiko’s boobs may be small, but they’re nicely shaped. Angie, meanwhile, is trying to grope Tsumugi’s boobs. Shuichi witness it all and immediately remembers that this is morally wrong and stupid. Too late, dude. Too late.

Afterwards we return to our room. Time to go hang out with people! Not sure who, though…Himiko, maybe. Next time!

Top 10 Cutest Anime Girls https://animeride.com/blogs/6716/top-10-cutest-anime-girls/ #AzusoNankano, #ChitogeKirisaki, #EucliwoodHellscythe, #MashiroShiina, #MiuAmaha, #RuriGokou, #SeikoShinohara, #Top10CutestAnimeGirls, #UrarakaOchako, #YokoLittner

New Post has been published on https://animeride.com/blogs/6716/top-10-cutest-anime-girls/

Top 10 Cutest Anime Girls

Before I start, I want to say that this is my list. I understand if you don’t completely agree with me, but please, no hate. Now, with that out of the way, let’s begin!

10) Miu Amaha: Mashiro Iro symphony

Miu is a third-year student of Yuihime Girls’ Academy. She lives in a house nearby the school with her mother and two cats. She is the founder and president of the Nuko club. The club is to care for various animals. She also works part-time at a maid cafe. named Dolce to earn money for activity of the club the Nuko Club is not an official club, so the club’s budget is not supplied by the school. She is very kind

9) Ruri Gokou: Oriemo

As much as I hate this anime’ Ruri gouko was my first anime crush. She is an otaku who takes interest in watching teenage anime and dislike cute animes. She also goes online from time to time to chat with other anime watchers who seem to can’t make friends. Her online name is Kuroneko, meaning ‘black cat’

Kuroneko is also known for her dark clothing and scarlet eyes. She cosplays daily in gothic lolita clothing similar to those worn on her favorite anime, Maschera ~Lamentation of the Fallen~. However, it is revealed that scarlet isn’t her real eye color; she just wears contacts (her real irises are lavender). She writes doujinshi and novels, but none of her works are popular. Kuroneko is very intelligent and has a large vocabulary, making her works too sophisticated for the average reader.

8) Yoko littner: Gurren lagann

Yoko was born in Littner village. Later on, she would meet up with Simon and kamina while fighting the Gunmen attacking Simon and Kamina’s village, Giha Village. Afterward, she travels with them and their Gunmen to help fight the evil Spiral King. In the anime, Simon makes advances towards her which are ignored as she is developing feelings for Kamina which are eventually returned. Her main weapon is a sniper rifle which she uses effectively to help take out Gunmen.

After the time jump in the anime she works as a teacher taking the name ‘Yomako’. When the Anti-Spirals attack she returns to Kamina City and busts Simon out of jail. She participates in the battles against the Anti-Spirals up to their defeat after which she returns to her island to teach further generations.

7) Azuso Nankano: k-on

Azusa is a talented guitarist, while she claims to be a beginner, she has been playing since she was in fourth-grade. Both her parents are in a Jazz Band, although never seen on screen, because of this Azusa often enjoys visiting jazz clubs.

Azusa at first was unsure about joining the Light Music Club, and originally showed interest in joining the Jazz Appreciation Club but was hesitant against joining beacause “It didn’t quite seem the same as real jazz.” Azusa finally decided to join the Light Music Club after Ui brings her to there live performance at the school festival.

6) Mashiro Shiina: sakurosou no pet

She is a world famous artist who transferred into Suiko as a second-year to learn how to draw manga. Although her artworks are widely admired by the world in spite of her young age, she knows nothing other than drawing, and has an extreme lack of common sense and living ability. Due to this, Sorata is forced to handle Mashiro’s living chores, to the point that he even has to pick out underwear for her, or she will go out without them.

She has very bad grades, since she cannot pay attention to the class, but she can still pass the make-up exams by remembering all of the answers with her art talent.

5 ) Uraraka Ochako: my hero academy

Ochaco is a petite, slender teenage girl. She has fair skin, big round brown eyes, and shoulder-length brown hair which sports two long locks beside her face and a short bob at the back. She also has little pads on the top of each of her fingers, similar to the pads on an animal’s paws, which are used to activate her Quirk.

4) Seiko Shinohara : Corpse Party

Seiko is an extremely cheerful and energetic girl who enjoys playing around with her friends. She often comes across as immature and crass and makes over-the-top outbursts that surprise everyone around her, but her friends are able to put up with it. She generally tries to maintain this personality even while trapped inside Heavenly Host, though the grim reality of their situation nearly causes her to suffer from an emotional breakdown several times.

She is not without a responsible side, however, which she developed after her mother disappeared two years ago in order to support her father and care for her three younger siblings. She easily becomes upset whenever anyone takes her feelings towards her mother’s disappearance lightly

3) Chitoge Kirisaki: Nesekoi

 Chitoge is very smart and completely fluent in both English and Japanese despite growing up in America, being half-Japanese. She is somewhat forgetful, aggressive and quick to attack someone who gets on her nerves. However, once someone gets to know her better, she becomes very talkative and nice. Similar to Raku, Chitoge is the type to go out of her way to help someone. For example, when Raku lost his pendant once again from the chain being broken, Chitoge had secretly gotten the Beehive gang to help fix it for him and gave it back later that night. She is also one to be totally oblivious to love. When her friend asked her to diagnose her about her sickness, (which was actually love) she did not know what to do.

2) Emilia: re:zero

Emilia is good natured and likes to take care of others, though Emilia herself refuses to admit it, instead thinking of it as her own selfishness. She is indifferent to her own appearance, leaving puck to take care of her clothes and hair. Because her appearance is similar to the witch, she has received unfair discrimination from others. She sometimes acts like a child and is unacquainted with the world as she used to live in the woods with other Elves, though despite this she still works hard to become a king.

1) Eucliwood hellscythe: is this a zombie?

At first, she seems to be emotionless and mute (or has a preference not to talk) but is in fact very kindhearted to her friends and other people. At one point, Ayumu even goes so far as to call her the most caring person he’s ever met. Eu is also shown to be a very forgiving person.

Eucliwood later admits that she is ashamed and even terrified of her abilities, and she wished for someone to be by her side in spite of her frightening ability. It appears that she has found that person in the form of Ayumu himself. He also provides her with comfort when she thinks about her many insecurities and she is shown to take these feelings to heart.

This list is based on my own choice. Feel free to comment about your cute AnimeGirls :). Thanks for Giving your precious time to us. Have a Nice Day !

Jamaicans at home and abroad express shock at ‘outrageous and offensive’ BBC comedy sketch

Jamaicans at home and abroad express shock at ‘outrageous and offensive’ BBC comedy sketch

“Who decided this was funny?”

Screenshot of a scene from an episode of BBC3's “Famalam” series, titled “Jamaican Countdown”, taken from BBC3's YouTube channel promoting the show.

A skit on BBC3’s Famalam series, which describes itself as a “super sharp sketch show starring black British talent”, has sparked widespread criticism from Jamaicans in the diaspora and at home — including expressions of disgust from Jamaican government ministers. The sketch, headlined “Jamaican Countdown”, calls itself “a Caribbean take on the classic gameshow about spelling”. Three characters, two men (one a ganja-smoking Rastafarian) and a woman, are trying to guess a word as another woman places vowels and consonants on the board. An over-sized clock on the wall depicts the shadow of man standing with legs apart; early in the sketch he assumes a stance reminiscent of Usain Bolt's famous lighting bolt pose: [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qdys7jKUOaE?feature=oembed&w=650&h=366] A Barbados-based Twitter user posted the reaction from Jamaica’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Kamina Johnson Smith:

JUST IN – Jamaican Foreign Minister Kamina Johnson Smith calls controversial BBC 3 comedic sketch "outrageous & offensive" & will write formal complaint; "Jamaican Countdown" critics felt it provided negative portrayal of Jamaicans through usage of stereotypes pic.twitter.com/FLY269Kiye — Kevz Politics (@KevzPolitics) August 22, 2020

Health and Wellness Minister Christopher Tufton echoed his colleague’s thoughts:

Agree. Who decided this was funny? Absolute disrespect and disgrace https://t.co/tSWymY0apx — Dr. Chris Tufton (@christufton) August 22, 2020

Several commentators complained that the sketch depicts Jamaicans as sex-obsessed, semi-literate drug abusers, tapping into several outdated stereotypes. On the Tumblr website, one diaspora member wrote:

This short clip is full of negative, harmful, and oppressive stereotypes and tropes regarding black men, and specifically, those of Jamaican heritage. It depicts clear race-based sexual stereotyping with its depiction of a black man’s oversized genitalia. One of the show’s actors, Tom Moutchi, has claimed it is ‘banter’, and has not as of yet offered an apology – he claims that he and his friends joke about this stuff all the time. The thing is, though – this is not a trope that has originated within the black community. This trope stems from the hypersexualisation and fetishization of black men, a concept which can be seen in existence just after the abolition of slavery, in which black men were perceived by white society to be hypersexual, lusting after white women, deeply promiscuous with no self-control. The fact that this programme was co-written by white men may offer even more reason as to why this is damaging and not ‘comedy’ […] This is actually a very harmful piece of work, and its release seems to have completely ignored the current state of the world in which people are tirelessly campaigning for racial equality. Read the room, BBC.

YouTube viewers had mixed reactions. One observed:

As a Jamaican this is very offensive, […] belittling and seeks to mimic something that's not reflective of my country [….] I am in total agreement with the Minister of Foreign Affairs to bring an injunction on [the] BBC to desist from further airing this asinine show. Its full time people stop thrusting their disgusting vulgarity on Jamaica. Jamaica is a brand and this does not reflect my country's culture.

Others disagreed, claiming it was just a joke. One viewer commented:

So far the overly sensitive people looking to be offended at anything crowd are just edging out those who appreciated it for what it is.

Tom Moutchi, an actor on the show, defended the skit on Twitter:

It’s only funny when it’s not you that’s the butt of the Joke. The cast consist of Africans and Caribbean’s. We’re not trying to single out or outrage anyone – we are just poking fun on our truths and stereotypes. — Tom Moutchi (@TomMoutchi) August 22, 2020

One critic responded:

This looks like a 70s comedy sketch , which at the time was regarded as acceptable and now racist. Here we are in 2020, because it’s black actors it is ‘banter’. That’s the same defence, used against BAME people everyday. Ditch these outdated tropes and let’s have ‘new comedy’. — David Lee (@DavidLee668) August 22, 2020

“BAME” is an abbreviation for Black, Asian, and minority ethnic, used in the United Kingdom to refer to people who are not white. The show’s producer, Akemnji Ndifornyen, described an earlier black British comedy as “part of his DNA” growing up in the UK, which inspired him to produce “Famalam”. The term is British slang for family and close friends. The heated discussion over this sketch shines a spotlight on the complexities of racial identity, cultural awareness and the wider black diaspora. It also raises the question of what black comedy should look like in 2020 and beyond, after Black Lives Matter has shown how such harmful stereotypes and microaggressions contribute to misinformation and systemic racism. The episode is scheduled to be broadcast on the evening of August 23 in the UK.
