been reading master keaton and really enjoying it

#master keaton #taichi hiraga-keaton #newt art #im only partway thru so if this painting actually shows up in series ill be really embarrassed. it's not meant to be literal in that way #i like sending little snippets to friends and talking about it and every time they keep comparing me to him LOL #(both mixed white-asian. both in the world of material culture history . so on so forth. both wacky with it)#(minus the special forces thing i should specify.....)

I have been meaning to talk about how accomplished Jun is though. She:

is such a powerful psychic that her clan apparently considered her a 'chosen one'

is literally such a strong fighter that she is able to suppress projecting her aura - something only the most powerful are able to do - which is why animals feel safe to approach her

fought well enough in the second tournament that Kazuya still thinks about her strength 22 years later in the story mode and waxes lyrical about it in his character ending (❓ on if she actually faced him though)

defeated Devil while pregnant ✔️ (only the half, but still counts)

has the survival skills to not only survive but thrive far from civilization

defeated Ogre ✔️

achieved the above via drawing power from sacred ground, something the average person obviously cannot do

is implied to have Yatagarasu guiding her per one of her intros

#in another world she's a shonen anime series main character let's be honest.#regarding the ❓ i have Opinions™ but tried to keep this factual.#being real with you the number of ppl on the planet that she couldn't school in a fight is in single digits for sure.#also raw strength aside i do feel kaz prob also deeply admires her spirituality #she has attained a non-material fulfillment that culturally is quite significant and as i said in a prior post--#--is considered a measure of one's quality as a person and the value that you bring into the lives of those you love.#i did not mention the 'kazama blood' or potential link with 'angel' bc rn those are not clearly defined #also being born with special blood isn't something 'earned' rly so while it matters™ it doesn't belong on an 'accomplishment' list imo.#i love that she's so strong and well rounded in her own right and not just 'the mom' or a distressed damsel

i only hope the dungeon meshi fanworks acknowledge the racial dynamics present in the worldbuilding

#dungeon meshi #idk #its important to me personally #fullertom dwarf chaser jokes are great but does anyone think of her internalized racism and get really sad #or that comic of marcille finally seeing good half elf representation in her favorite book series #or how namari is a proud dwarf but she's isolated in her own dwarven community bc of how the culture treats outsiders #there's so much material here we cant just let it go to waste #dungeon meshi spoilers

EVERYBODY SHUT UP KENDRICK DROPPED

youtube

#Mannnnnn this really does feel like an entry in the heart series tho #I have no idea why this person put drake diss in the title. It’s not #it’s a diss on the rap culture as a whole and the materialism of it all #That beat is heavenly tho #Sophi rambles #Also Christian rapper mention! Niiiiiice #Haven’t listened to either of them but the shoutout is cool #will go check them out later

guy standing in the corner at a party meme They don't know about TOS Kirk's fucked up traumatic backstory

#captain Kirk is such a crazy subject in general because he's iconic now #and there's a like. collective cultural fanon version of him that's been riffed on into infinity #so there's all this like. What should be surface level lore that's kind of a big deal in the original series #That basically no one knows about!#Because most people Know about captain kirk but they've never actually consumed the source material #They've just heard about it or seen adaptations/parodies that were made largely by people who also haven't seen the source material #It's kind of exactly the same thing that's happened with Sherlock Holmes.#Okay this is really scattered sorry but you know what I mean yeah?#Anyways it's just so crazy to me that like. Conscience Of The King is mid season 1 #What happened on Tartarus IV is early establishing lore for cpt Kirk. Iconic character that everyone knows about captain James T Kirk.#But if you try to bring up that his parents and half his colony were killed in a eugenicist massacre no one knows what you're talking about #It's like if somehow no one knew that superman is from space. Idk.

Every time I see someone use Purple Haze Feedback for 'UwU FuGio real!!' or paint Giorno as a coldhearted sadistic master manipulator I feel myself coming closer and closer to snapping

#theskinwalkerqueenspeaks #granted i don't like fugio #i don't see a problem with the ship it's just not my personal otp #hell sometimes i see really good fugio art or fic stuff and i go 'y'know what fuck yeah that slaps'!!! i'm not a fugio hater #but the entire point of purple haze feedback was not to be endgame ship material #i'm also not saying that you couldn't use that to back up your ship but if that is the only thing you got out of it you should take a step #back from fandom and shipping culture bc you should be able to interact with a piece of media without thinking 'how can i ship this'#also giorno is a deeply traumatized teenager he ain't manipulating the mafia that easily lmfao #that one goes out to the crowd who think that giorno only told bruno what he wanted to hear #which is bullshit in itself because he hadn't even heard of bruno prior how the hell would he pull 'oh yeah same i hate drugs too'#out of his ass without knowing bruno and without bruno ever saying that he hated passione's involvement in the drug trade #it's a huge leap #also!!#giorno went out of his way more than once to try to keep his team alive and at the cost of not achieving his dream at that #those are not the actions of someone who doesn't care who lives or dies as long as his goals are met #you all need to rewatch the series and reassess how you see characters because holy fuck you missed so many gods damn points #rant over

saw someone unironically call jjba "unproblematic" and I'm fucking screaming laughing over it. one of the main characters allied with a literal nazi. say what the fuck you want about jojos I'm not gonna pretend like there's not a lot of good things about it but uh. that's a pretty significant problem in the fucking series. just sayin

#mud rambles #I don't know a lot of the details of jojo's just as a disclaimer but that's exactly why I've avoided it #that and. the vampire thing in relation to the again. Literal nazis. don't know the details but like hello. blood libel.#stroheim literally described as dying like 'a proud german soldier' AT FUCKING STALINGRAD #dog. we can talk about how warped the word problematic has become and how consuming 'problematic' material doesn't make you an awful person #but that's not the point. you can't call a fucking media that had its main characters ally with a fucking nazi 'unproblematic' just because #it has queer characters lmfao #again. i recognize there's a lot of good shit about jojo's and i dont think anyone is awful for watching it #i don't even think it's a bad series at all and i recognize it's got huge cultural impact #but again. you cannot unironically call it 'unproblematic' like fucking hello #if you wanna enlighten me about details feel free to but do not come at me like 'WELL AKTCHUALLY' i will not be getting into discourse over #a fucking anime
