sometimes i see a post that's like "god i want het romance written by bisexuals" and about 300 people agree but when het romance actually written by bisexuals (or at least, coded to be) does come up, people turn around and dismiss it and headcanon both m or f party into a different kind of queer... not that they aren't allowed to do that, but its just such a frustrating phenomenon to witness every single fucking time

Man I don't even know. Deleted the last post because maybe I'm too hasty, seen how insulting it can be to be accused of AI generating shit, but my god! I cannot help but feel so much more for writers—writers who use words to craft their art, already fighting for a place in a world that prioritizes visual language/graphics over their medium, writers who are much quicker to be criticized than artists, writers who have to find a way to hone their crafts just so they keep your attention all the way to the end of their stories, writers who have no other means to present their creation and being told to pick up an entire other skill just to be appreciated in a community space, writers who are so much easily more exploited by AI generation because their medium is TEXT.

I don't fucking know dude. Sometimes it feels like people are fighting against AI art but not AI generated writing, voice acting, music or any other creative medium because visual graphics/language takes more precedence in this world, and everything else is secondary to it even though we are constantly preaching that all mediums are considered art

kir appreciation post (m26 edition)

let the movie marinate in my head for a night and i still cant stop thinking about how from start to finish kir comes back to the franchise and absolutely one ups every other noc character for me

from the very beginning they introduce her character and bring in her values as a person: for an audience who doesnt remember who she is especially its very refreshing because right from the bat you know three things:

theres an obvious chase scene going on, but she's unwilling to catch the prey, meaning her allegiances lie elsewhere

her heart is in helping people, and risks her own cover AND life in the process

and that she's not above feeling fear about how close she was to screwing everything she's worked up for up until that moment.

the cold open shows us three things immediately about kir that sets the scene for her role in the movie, way better than how she's essentially been forgotten by our floating timeline canon. now you can argue these traits are absolutely present across our current babygirls bourbon (furuya) and former member rye (akai), but with kir (hidemi hondou) the way she actively faces consequences for her defiance (getting shot multiple times, both in movie 20 and movie 26) sets her from a different bar from those two

her next scene is when she's tying up the kidnapped haibara

which is a great scene overall because it furthers her position as a woman of heart and someone who stands away from the org, but also because it is an extremely subtle nod that makes use of her high perceptiveness that was present all the way from her introduction arc BACK IN EPISODE 425

where she sees immediately through conan's cheap ass lie but makes no effort to bring light to it. in fact, that whole case, you can straight up argue she KNEW she was being wire tapped the whole time. its nice that it made a comeback 18 years later

BACK TO THE MOVIE, THOUGH, biggest fave is that in her next scene, we get to see her display the difficulty of being part of an organization that actively goes against her core principles as a person AND brings back traumatic memories for her

as naomi is being psychologically tortured by being forced to watch her dad be assassinated, kir finds this extremely hard to watch. you are then shown the flashback of what made her into a CIA agent today which you know IS KINDA FUCKED UP

like imagine your dad killed himself in front of you. shes shaking with rage but also the core memory of having her beloved father ripped from her hands in pursuit of this seemingly endless goose chase that she's already too deep in to let go

and as naomi is distraught over the death of her father she is reminded of her own position; memories, the harrowing experience of loss and how she is part of the organization that robs lives away from families.

but even after all that it strengthens her resolve to do the right thing.

GIN THIS ENTIRE MOVIE (and arguably the whole franchise) is built up to be the most terrifying enemy for all the parties involved. haibara is traumatized from her experiences with him. conan is actively uneasy at the idea of him being anywhere close. his own damn coworkers still walk on eggshells around him. YET, kir — who had already been fucking shot by gin in the very beginning already — goes toe to toe with gin and challenges him.

THIS GIRL TAKES IT LIKE NO ONE ELSE IN THIS DAMN FRANCHISE

she shows

a) manipulative skill directly. playing on words, feeding on doubt. psychological tactics that she had been trained by the CIA for (a claim they had made 18 years ago but never bothered to show until now)

b) that she's dauntless. she pressed herself against that gun and walked that edge knowing full well she could die should gin feel like it, but also with the confidence that she can and WILL weasel herself out of this situation

AND AT THE END OF THE MOVIE SHE DOES!!!!!!

SHE LIVES AND MAKES IT OUT SAFELY. this girl knows her shit and will live to tell the tale. even if its just plot armour working, it damn feels good to have them show a character worth their salt this way

as an extended bonus, this woman-gaze directed promo art is crazy.

im in love with her actually.

i once again trust TMS studio with my life. call me an ant the way i collect these crumbs

(episode 768)

more undercut

episode 1052

episode 1023

episode 805

"What is this chip?" "It was in Kaneko's camera." "Whaaaat?"

i cant ss it, but they ride his skateboard together, and ai has his arms around him

this made me laugh out loud

side note, haibara acts as a stage manager for the case theory part of the episode and directs the broadcasting guy for special effects while conan solves the case as kogoro

its a very long scene and i cant fit it under the pic limit lol

THERE ARE SO MANY CRUMBS IN EPISODES THAT FEATURE THE DB and i have to thank the wiki for my LIFE

[mestos]

coai onscreen mouth to mouth resuscitation complete with haibara saying it was a kiss was like receiving the holy grail. 'its not canon' yeah doesn't need to be but its something that sure exists in the franchise and is my favourite continuity

[mestos]

gotta say theres really nothing funnier than people playing obviously moe anime style bishoujo and ikemen game and then being shocked/outraged when a new character design is, in fact, a moe bishoujo/ikemen

ppl will talk abt wasted potential existing in all the charas in dc//mk but forget about vermouth. everyday i think about her. i think abt the wasted potential she has so often. anti-villain energy, with such an enigma to her and has tragic undertones of an actual multi-layered persona.... that go///sho is so afraid of exploring bc itll make u sympathetic to the b.o gKSDGJKG
