#ok black is justice which is really funny

[duchezss]

I recently finished reading all the Lockwood & Co books, and my god they were good, but it got me thinking. If the show continued, like it deserved too, would Holly and Kipps have gotten a signature color the same way the trio did? If so what would they be? Well I was looking at twitter and I saw that most people agree that Holly's color would be yellow, and Kipps' would be white, and I'll be honest I disagree so badly I'm about to write an essay. It's funny because I distinctly remember finishing the books and thinking, "ah watch everyone put their colors as yellow and white cause it's easy". LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER. Y'all just don't get color theory OR the characters the way I do so listen up.

Holly is many things. She's positive, and compassionate, and kind, but she is so much more than that. She's not just a "yellow", yes maybe she is the sunshine of the group, but honestly? Not really, and that's ok. She's fierce and sometimes she has a short temper, she pretends to let everything slide off her shoulder, when really she's just keeping it inside. That's why her and Lucy are constantly budding heads in the beginning of their friendship, they are so similar. I think her color should be red. She's constantly described as wearing it, and I think it really fits her. Red represents passion, energy, confidence, and excitement to name a few. Holly is always described as having a presence, and her energy and enthusiasm comes off her in waves. Red is usually described as the color of love, and I still think that fits. She has such love for the entire crew, and it's so clear she would go to the ends of the earth for them. I also think this would blend in with the others very well. Despite it not actually being blue's real opposite, blue and red are often seen as polar opposites, which really fits for Lucy and Holly's dynamic. It also works because red and orange are both warm colors and George and Holly have always gotten along. They are similar in their methodical and sometimes odd ways of life. I also think it's fun cause Skully's color is green, and green are red are direct color wheel opposites. I'm pretty sure he hates her the most, but Kipps is also competing hard for that title. And lastly black is kinda the color in between, now more on that in a second.

I see what twitter was going for, Lucy and George are blue and orange, direct color wheel opposites, because they are quite literally direct opposites. So it makes sense for Kipps to be white since he's the direct opposite of Lockwood? LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER AGAIN. Tell me y'all didn't understand their dynamic without telling me. Lockwood and Kipps didn't get along cause they were so different, they butted heads so hard because of how similar they are. It's exactly what happened with Lucy and Holly. Plus white represents a lot of things that are definitely not Kipps. My proposed color for him is purple, I know that's a little odd, but walk with me. Although it's never explicitly stated, one can assume that Kipps was an absolute prodigy when he had his talents. I only bring this up, because purple often represents royalty and luxury, and he practically became a fallen king when he lost the only thing he was ever good at it. But purple is much more than that, it also represents bravery, uniqueness. ambition, and justice. I think Kipps' original color is grey, and not just because of the uniform. Grey represents seriousness, sadness, and boredom. That's how Kipps was before, but when he remeets the crew during book 3 and 4, we begin to see the shift. The group helps him gain his ambition back, and with all of their love and support we even begin to see how brave he really is. He has a unique way of going through life, and even when all the odds are stacked against them, he still seeks justice. Purple fits with the general color scheme as well. It's very close to black, which represents how similar him and Lockwood are, and it's also a cooler color like blue. Kipps and Lucy certainly got along the easiest out of the crew.

Overall it just makes sense. George and Holly are the warmer colors, Lucy and Kipps the cooler, and Lockwood as the mediator between them. I feel like red might be a little hard to incorporate without being overpowering, and I know that purple isn't a super masculine color, but hell if those costume designer made full orange outfits look good they can literally do anything. Anyways I know this isn't that important, but ugh I love color theory so much, and I love how much thought the costume designers put in the first time. I feel like having Holly and Kipps color being yellow and white is just a cheap easy shot, and doesn't take into account the characters and their growth enough. I rest my case.

Wakfu Manga - Tome 3, Part 2

He really is way too cute for his own good.

And also he is way too funny. I hope he never stops stating the most batshit insane things after dangerous situations with an emotionless face. It's too much,,,

Your reminder that this map is gay.

@dullard hey you were passionate about this months ago while I was still liveblogging Aux Tresors.

He's just sitting there. cutely.

He's interested in Yugo's wellbeing. Also, his nose is really weird in this panel dfgjksdfg.

It seems that being close to Zinit makes Yugo and Adamai feel better. Joris seems pretty interested in this info — in a very genuine way. He likes learning.

HIS CUTE LITTLE GLOVED HAND....

I have so much to say here...

Cats always land on their paws, hehe.

Joris needs to be the coolest person on the train that badly?

Genuinely, living in a shushu house, Joris is probably used to these levels of turbulence.

Always thinking about "You should follow the example of Master Joris!" [Joris is doing the exact same shit as them like a wild animal, except he's good at not being caught]

He was SO scared of being found out and how it would damage his reputation and the way they view him as a person. It's so funny.

L;iterally sleeping in a pillowcase like a little cat or a little bug.

Waking up so cute and woozy. Sorry im insane.

This manga feeds me so well. He looks so good here...

The art is so, so good.

The chapter ending on this art is like a gay little treat just for me.

Once again, Joris is the only one doing somewhat OK during turbulence.

He's not having a good time, though.

Everyone hit by this becomes high as a kite, as we will see in a second.

Maybe this is the real reason why black flame dragons are like that. Maybe they're just perpetually a little bit high.

Joris was also there, and hit by this stuff and I will not be silenced on the funniest Joris moment of the entire series, and the way everyone brushes it off as Pinpin's hallucination.

Yes I think him being a cat is Pinpin hallucinating. However. However.. I do think Joris was licking his balls and also hallucinating being a cat too.

Being a cat is simply his internal nature.

I don't know what to say other than pointing out that Adamai and Yugo have used stasis magic together here — which I think is the first instance of Yugo dabbling in that, pre-season 4.

Joris is drawn so well here... Also, he's so casual for a man that was licking his balls and meowing just a little while ago. How time flies <3

Joris in the corner, glowering and holding one strap of his backpack. fgjsfdg.

Even though he's blunt to the point of rudeness here, he does seem worried about Justice.

No commentary, I'm just enjoying his presence in the manga. sdfgjksdfg

OK I just had a really funny idea for an AU of FFTSR, where Sumi doesn’t lie to akechi about the end of the first timeline, leading to him not being gay with ren, which in turn results in the thieves investigating him as a suspect and catching him leaving Sugimura’s palace with haru and Sumi

Now, having the thieves on their side in Sugimura’s palace is good for the masks, but they have to find a way to explain how sumi has such a strong persona,

She ends up doing her best “Mysterious girl with super strong magic in a jrpg” impression, selective amnesia and all, and haru and akechi have to play along.

Have I cooked?

I think you're cooking

HAHA Sumire "famously bad at acting" Yoshizawa trying to anime trope her way through working with the thieves sounds hilarious

Though with this set up, things honestly wouldn't go... that differently from how things are going in fftsr? If anything, events would more closely resemble the OG timeline, with the Justice confidant as slightly more aggressive/supicious, and with the exception of Haru not joing the PT and Sumire as an added suspect.

So to add some fun spice to the timeline- perhaps the bmtrio catch wind of the fact that Akechi and Sumire are suspects, and decide to -as you mentioned- anime trope Sumire into deflecting suspicion. Basically, Sumire joins the PT a bit early as the PT's incredibly powerful and incredibly suspicious 'amnesiac' (some fuckery to get that dynamic to be able to exist without it dissolving immediately, of course)

uh. yeah. I assume October third in this AU is preceeded by a whole shitshow of revealing the black masks- THEN October third happens, and things go doubly to hell

Hi, I’m pretty new to making requests and I’m quite shy about it so I’ve tried making a few here and there recently but I’m still learning how much detail to include and stuff like that so please bear with me!

Firstly, congratulations on your achievement and I hope you are feeling better 😊 I saw on your posts that we can request specific characters for the ship so I would love to request to be shipped with Frenchie as he’s one of my fave characters in anything, not just in The Boys. I’m female (she/her pronouns), have dyed dark red hair, green eyes, only 5ft tall (but I love being short), and I have a lot of tattoos, including both my calves/upper arm/wrists/foot, and many of which I collected while travelling so they have very sentimental meaning. I’m British but not a Cockney like Butcher. My style is all over the place but I have a huge love for jackets and hats, and I love both black and pastel colours.

Hobbies - I write poetry, and have done since I was very young, but I’m still shy about it. I’m an amateur/hobbying archer (barebow recurve) and it’s really becoming a big passion of mine and makes me feel like a badass Robin Hood whenever I practice. I love a lot of media – movies/tv/videogames and co-run a movie club. I also absolutely adore a really diverse amount of music but rock and metal have a particularly special place in my heart and I love rock gigs. Two of my biggest passions are wildlife and travelling, I love all creatures and any time I’m travelling or caring for animals that’s my happy place. I take part in local quizzes and try (not very well) to learn various languages like Spanish, Finnish, Japanese and, yes, a little French as well. I love crafts and photography and try to be creative. My fave place I’ve ever been is southern Africa. Fave movies include Edward Scissorhands, Fight Club, Everything Everywhere All At Once.

Personality – I’m a Libra and naturally super flirty but I struggle with esteem issues so I tone it down because of that. I think my friends would say one of my best assets is being funny, not in a comedian kind of way but in general conversation, I have quite a strong sense of humour. I’m very emotional and sensitive but see these as positives and I have a strong sense of justice as well. I’m a proud nerd and love the family feeling that fandom brings. I think my HP house would be Ravenclaw. My dream job would be running a sanctuary for animals. I always fall for people I’m friends with first, and I love sweetness.

I hope this is all ok and enough/not too much!

The second Frenchie sees you with your bow and arrow, that man swoons. He's a puddle of himself, a mess. For the first time in his life he's speechless. He absolutely adores watching you practice. You laugh at him, saying he has better things to do, but there is no place on Earth he'd rather be than with you

You two do this thing in the car or at the office where you switch off playing songs. Most of his French techno or rap, but there are definitely a few gems you've found because of him. He has an entire playlist of music you show him titled Mon Couer and he is constantly bragging about your perfect taste in rock and metal

Frenchie promises you, when this whole mess is over, when you finally take down Vought and Homelander, you'll travel the world. He makes you make a list of every place you want to see and he assured you, you'll see it all together. You'll be free to explore and travel. You'll never have to come back to this disaster of a city

That man loves your humor. If you can't laugh off the ridiculous and dangerous situations you find yourselves in, what's the point? He has a habit of making wildly inappropriate jokes that you can't help but laugh at. He's quick witted and he appreciates that you can keep up with him

Your sense of justice is what keeps both Frenchie and the team on the ground. It's what keeps everyone level headed in this fight instead of, like Butcher's thought process, an act of revenge. When the team is feeling defeated, you're the one to give him a pick-me-up speech, you're the one to remind them that this is a fight you can't give up on

Hope you like it my love!!!! Xoxoxo💜💜💜💜

Want to request a ship?

[itsmissing]

how have you been enjoying the kamen riders!! which ones are you having a good time with

this is gonna be a long one, so i'm gonna put the full answer under a Read More!

so i actually have a spreadsheet i made to keep track of the series that i've completed and how i feel about each one as i finish them, but i'm definitely not gonna make that public.

since march of last year i've pretty much watched ALL of it, barring the original 1971 series (which i put down after like 20 episodes, intending to watch it Properly at a Later Date), Black, Black RX, Saber (which i could not, for the life of me, keep personal interest in), Zero One, and Gotchard (which i'm waiting to finish but have heard promising things about).

i think my general consensus is that as a franchise, Kamen Rider is 100% my jam and i hold it in my heart dearly, and is something that consistently rewards you for engaging with it earnestly, but a lot of the individual season are just kind of ok! even the "bad" seasons that i used to be constantly warned about ended up being just kinda boring to get through (like Wizard and Ghost), but i always found something to appreciate about them anyway. a lot of the "good" seasons that i always saw hyped also kinda fell flat for me (like Gaim and Build). the standout individual seasons that i really enjoyed were V3, Stronger, Kuuga, Blade, "that" half of Hibiki, and W - all of which i think are seasons that pay tribute to that original ideal i really like of the Kamen Rider being this tireless, incorruptible warrior of justice that fights for humanity. i think Kuuga in particular i super enjoyed having come from several other Heisei stuff first, since it was so surprisingly different and refreshing despite being like, the starting point for that era. that being said, i think after watching alla these seasons i'm realizing that the main enjoyment i get outta the franchise is just knowing who all these funny guys are more deeply having that pool of knowledge to draw from. all of it is just so fascinating to me, from pre-production stuff, to the individual actors and whether or not they'll ever reprise their roles again, to the actual meat of the narratives that usually have at least one thing i can appreciate, even if they don't always stick the landing. it's funny bug men slapping rubber suits together, but it's also so much more and i love it

[miko-mik]

OK so to answer your question, maybe first meeting like at a gala or an event were they connect through some common interest.

I don't even know if this is a prompt itself so I apologise 😅 hope it's what you need

The stars in your eyes

Hi! I hope I did your request justice and this was what you were hoping for? I really wanted to try hard since this is my first haikyuu fanfic that I’ve written in a while. (Sorry if there are mistakes I haven’t written for Tendo before) I I’m taking requests so here is my Fandoms list

Notes: They both already had a crush on each other, Enjoy!! (Reblogs are appreciated!)

Word count:2,616

The ear-numbing tunes faded into the background as the clicks of the ladies heels along the dance floor blocked it out, you watched as they were spun around then swiftly pulled back into the warm embrace of their suitors. A part of you longing to be in the shoes of the women as they spun out again.

You had been in the far edge of the ballroom for most of the night, after you had managed to convince your mother to let you from her side. You placed yourself specifically in the dark corners so she wouldn’t spot you and take your ear off scolding you.

Your family was known to throw extravagant yet loud balls, all to flash their wealth while keeping an innocent smile to their faces. Expecting you to do the same. You weren’t much for parties, not so much the idea of it and more what it came with.

The smell of alcohol and perfume constant, laughter from every corner making you wonder what could be so funny that the laughter never ended. The tight and exposing dresses that attracted unwanted attention.

The dresses alone were admirable at times, tonight it was a long red corset dress made of silk with gold trimmings.

Paired with heels that were recently gifted to you by your mother to celebrate you now being skillful in horse riding. You hair tucked into a bun with pined in jewels lining all of it.

You looked beautiful, you had to admit the dressing up part of balls wasn’t something you hated. Just the bold men who couldn’t consider themselves shameful.

You’d already had the dishonor crushing the hopes of some of the few men who had tried to come up to you. All with the same smug smile and boring conversations.

You’d forced yourself to bite your tongue as you acted interested in whatever the men spoke of, giving a cheeky grin here and there or a forced laugh.

Each failed attempt to flirt only made the whole thing insufferable as you knew in the end they didn’t have any intentions of really knowing you, just trying to make proposals they’d never complete or deals you knew would only come back to screw you.

After a while it seemed the previous men had started to whisper about you, you could tell by the way they’d try and sneak a message to the ears of any other gentleman who seemed to want to walk up to you. You knew they thought they were angering you or that you’d feel embarrassed.

But you couldn’t be happier, finally left to your own thoughts to sip on your drink and let the voices and laughters of guests fill your ears. Left to admire the decorations that hung from every wall, not a disappointment in sight. You’d think that would be the end of men walking up to you that was until you spotted a familiar red head.

He had untamed spiked red hair, always seeming to hold a child-like grin to his face. This night it had been noticeably small. He wore black dress pants with a matching suit and white shirt, his tie which was striped with white and black hung loosely around his neck.

Not too much of a surprise to you.

You knew the boy well, he went by Tendo . He was new to the palace, assigned as one of the guards who protected you personally so he got to be around him a lot, sometimes passing by him in the halls and deciding to make small talk or sneaking into each others room to keep company late at night. It was like he always had something to share with you, wether it was something as simple as an animal he’d found roaming around the castle ground or complains he had about his line of work. There wasn’t a moment where he didn’t entertain you.

He came to you with his usual smile, and as he did you felt your face soften. The tension in your shoulders seeming to subside.

“You don’t seem to be enjoying yourself princess, something wrong?” He said a teasing tone hidden behind his words of worry. He came closer now standing beside you as you both kept your eyes on the dance floor.

“Is it that obvious?” You questioned letting a light chuckle slip through your lips, you noticed as he turned his head to stare at you before turning forward once more.

He nodded his head. “I honestly thought you’d cut my head off if I got too close to you, did you know that you’re staring daggers into everyone?”

You was a little surprised to hear his words, making you realize the error of your ways. You used your free hand to rub your face slightly, blinking a few times before dragging the ghost of your smile back to your face.

“Is this better?” You turned to him only to be met by looming eyes above you, you felt a warmth in your face as his gaze never left you. His eyes following every movement your features made, he didn’t say anything only reaching his hands up and stopping in front of your face.

“May I?” It was odd, his voice felt smoother a little lower than the high pitched squeals you were used too. Yet you nodded.

He smiled grazing his hand across your cheek. “Relax your face” he requested and you did, you kept eye contact. Feeling yourself drowning out in his dark red eyes. He massaged your face slightly in areas, under your eyes, above your brows, anything to relax your features. Soon pulling at the corners of your lips to present an upward smile which didn’t stay for long as you soon grew flustered.

Turning your head away from his soft touch to hide your face, he only laughed in return, positioning his hands back at his sides now leaning against the wall a little. “See that’s better” he teased at you some more, maybe wanting to bring your smile out in other ways.

You took a deep breath, trying to get the warmth of your cheeks to fade away before looking back at him. “Sure” you started then as you noticed an awkward silence about the fall between the two of you, you added on. “Why are you here anyways? I’d thought you of all people would want to be on the dance floor”

You meant your words to be taken lightly so the two of you could share a laugh, yet not noise came out of him. His mouth no longer curved into a cartoonish grin, his brows lowered. His eyes fell to the ground, you watched as he parted his mouth to speak only to swallow whatever words he was going to spill back down his throat. “Did something happen?” You reached your hand out, laying it on his forearm.

He glanced down at your hand on his arm, letting a sigh out before lifting his head to look at something. You trailed his eyes, seeing the crowd of ladies around the dance floor. Laughing and pointing out suitors together.

“I tried to dance, but I was rejected before I could even make a proper proposal. Something about me looking too much like a creep” your heart broke hearing his tone, it was low and almost sounded like he was muttering some of his words. To not let his hear how the words of those ladies had effected him.

You knew people found him odd, sometimes he stuck out in the crowd like a sore thumb. Yet when you met him he never seemed as people had described him. But he was not intimidating nor a mess, he was teasing yes but he never went past the line. Always finding a way to creep a smile back to your face, constantly finding a way to make sure there aren’t dull moments when your with him. He was cheerful, a glowing beam of light that shines through on dark days. His hair wasn’t the only bright thing about him nor the only thing you noticed about him. He was caring for the people around him, he took his job seriously even with the small remarks he’d make about it. If it wasn’t you he’d be joking around with then it’d be the green haired male he seemed the closest too or the tall blonde he always seemed to find a way to irritate. He was a lovable person in all.

“They don’t know what their talking about, you creepy? I can’t understand such a thought” you finally spoke, slicing through the silence with your voice.

“Would you have danced with me?” He was quick to respond, making you think he’d had those words sitting at the top of his tongue for too long.

“In a heart beat Tendo, without a doubt” at the sound of his name he looked at you, you saw the tide of sadness that once swallowed him fade into nothing but slow waves. And though your words brought him comfort you knew it was only a matter of time before the tides came to wash him away.

You retrieved your hand from his arm, holding it out. Palms facing him, he was confused for a second but he didn’t waste time placing his hand on yours. Interlocking his fingers with yours as if it were natural. “Trust me” you spoke only that before putting your glass on the tray of a server that had just passed.

You stayed close to the walls as you led him through the crowd of voices and stares, making sure he never fell too far behind you. You tried your best not to be seen by your parents or any guards who’d stop you. He didn’t speak, yet every time you gave him a glance you saw a familiar grin dancing along his face.

You soon made it outside, the melody coming from inside still not too quiet.

“Where are you taking me?” He finally spoke up as you continued to lead him.

It was calmer out here, the wind blew. Twirling through the branches of the cherry blossoms trees, the cold winter air blew against your exposed skin. But it’d be worth it in the end. “You’ll see, don’t you trust me?” Now you were the one teasing him, shooting him a snarky smirk.

“I do, I just hope your not planning on burying me out here. I will be found Y/n” he chuckled causing you to turn your head to give an unserious glare.

“If I wanted to get rid of you, I wouldn’t do it myself” he didn’t speak more after that, letting a breathy echo of laughter spin out into the night sky.

The slows tunes lower in volume as you both walked, the sound of your footwear clicking along the rough stone walk way. Crickets chirping as you walked past, the once harsh wind now subject to a light breeze.

Once you saw your destination you went slower, allowing Tendou to catch up so he walked beside you. In the horizon stood a  field of flowers. White, orange, red, green and purple all glowed under the moon light.

You came to a stop before path ended and you almost stepped into the grass, looking up at the now hypnotized Tendou. His eyes following the wind as it blew through the flowers in a elegant motion.

“Do you like it?” You asked snapping him from his thoughts, you looked at him as you finally had his attention . A mixture of shock and amazement staring back at you.

“Why are we here?” As he spoke you slipped your hands from his, a sneaky smile finally showing itself onto your face.

You didn’t answer at first, taking a step forward and leaving him to watch as you walked into the field. Not caring if your dress dragged along the mess of grass or if your heels clung onto dirt with each of your steps. It was worth it for him.

You turned around once finally getting into a spot further in the field, gazing at his surprised expression. You signaled him to come closer and he did, mouth parted slightly, brows lifted and eyes stuck in a wide look.

Once he was just inches away from you, you held out your hand. “Would you do me the honor of dancing with me?” Even with the flustering warmth in your face you didn’t shy away, you watched as his eyes softened. His cheeks forming a tint of red and pink, the corners of his lips no longer fighting and curling into a familiar grin. He stepped closer, taking your hand once more. The two of your face barely inches away, his hands on your waist. Your hands on his shoulders, the two of your faces almost one. Almost. His gaze traced you out as if you were a sketch. As if he was an artist with a paint brush, stroking away at a canvas to create the perfect portrait. He didn’t look away, and though his bottom lip trembled slightly and his face had gone all shades of red. He looked at you.

All you heard were his flustered breaths hitting your skin like clouds, the gentle music of the ballroom which found it’s way to surround the two of you. The beating of your heart in your chest, a constant pounding that felt as if it’d explode. You wanted him to say something, not just look at you. The silence felt like a death trap, the longer his lips didn’t move the more you tortured yourself with thoughts. Had you done too much? We’re you too close to him? Did he want this?

Finally his lips parted and he spoke. “Y/n” at the sound of your name spoken with his voice you felt a shiver go down your spin. “Thank you….you didn’t have too” his voice trailed a little when he last spoke, his eyes becoming glossy but nothing fell.

“I wanted to show you that you deserve a dance, you are not what they say you are Tendo. You could never be, not in my eyes” you saw as he bit down on his lips. “Let’s dance” he nodded, closing his eyes for a second as he started to lead. The both of you following the music as you both moved forwarded and back, left to right. The both of you becoming one.

Soon you came to a stop and so did he when he realized, you eyes moving from his lips to his eyes and it was as if he could sense your intentions. Leaning in towards you, and with no words you pressed your lip’s against his. The both of your heads and lips moving together like melody. It was kiss after kiss, the heat you felt running through your body as you didn’t wish to pull away from his soft lips. He held you still by the waist, deepening the kiss when he saw fit.

You both pulled back to catch a breath, a fit of laughter breaking out as his face looking like a tomato. He let you laugh for a little before shutting you up with another kiss. “It’s not funny” he whispered when he finally pulled away.

“You should see your face right now” you answered giggling.

“I’d say you should see your face as well but I don’t want to take away from my view” the breath from his chuckle danced along your skin as the two of you began to move as one again.

Under the night sky, under the stars, and under his loving gaze.

So I’m uh…very late to the party with these bc I was really trying to sit out whatever bug is going on for me but I saw this the day it came out and was like WHAT????

I did NOT expect the previews to be released so early,but tbh I’m not complaining I was wondering when they were coming out :0c anyways,these were my initial impressions hearing the one in this video and the SIF 2 previews ⬇️⬇️

Ayumu - “Walking Dream” : Not gonna lie,this is not the song I expected to hear from this detective outfit but it’s really good - I like the bells and light waltz-y feel of the instrumentals,it’s not my FAVORITE Ayumu solo but it’s still nice plus it’s just the preview so idk I might change my mind when the full comes out

Kasumi - “Senobi Shittate” : You know what? This is a totally different sound for Kasumin,but I like it quite a bit - Not really my style personally,but the instrumental is really pretty and it shows a more mature Kasumi which is nice (and yes,I’m semi counting this as her black swan era too because of the instrumentals alone)

Shizuku - “Koakuma LOVE ♡” : My immediate thoughts are…HUH???? Like,I had a feeling that her solo may be cutesier due to her outfit choices but like…not like this and I love it so much,it may be one of my favorites so far :0c (but then again,imo Shizuku’s solos are always at least decent so it’s not that big of a surprise ig dndjdj - also everyone saying she swapped song styles with Kasumi is RIGHT omg)

Karin - “My Shadow” : If you look up “Karin Asaka” and put “having a bad song” next to it,you will find NOTHING because FINALLY!!!! KARIN GOT HER JAZZ SOLO!!!!! …ok it’s not exactly jazz more like electro swing but you know what? I will take it,this song is SO good - this one might be up there when it comes to my favorites too bc wow,I hope they keep doing this sort of song in LL

Ai - “Request for U” : Ok,so I was right about Ai getting a more mellow song than usual and honestly?? It works really well for her,it’s still somewhat upbeat and very Ai-y but like Kasumi’s,it shows a different side to her that I like a lot :] it’s rlly cute

Kanata - “Cooking with Love” : WOWOWOW my mind is blown with this one…this might be my favorite out of the album so far and my favorite Kanata solo like it sounds like a magical girl anime ending and I am so about it,we knew with that jirai kei outfit that she was gonna cook and cook she DID,this girl made a whole sweets buffet and I will eat every bite

Setsuna - “Cherry Bomb” : So the words on her merch WERE the title of her song,and boy is this song good too like…these songs were worth the wait - Hayamaru’s voice is fantastic,it’s distinctly different but still very Setsuna sounding,I love the sort of harder rock sound in this song :0c I’m one of the few that’s very 50/50 on Setsuna’s solos but this one is really good,they really cranked up the shounen anime opening vibes for her and I like it a lot

Emma - “Koisuru Sunflower” : This album continues to be full of surprises,I was expecting a slower song due to the outfit but am pleasantly surprised with this mid-tempo calypso-y song - Emma’s songs always have this sort of warm comfy sound,I feel like I’m relaxing on the beach with a fun drink listening to it idk what it is

Rina - “Watashi wa Magnet” : …huh this song is a lot slower than I expected it to be with the outfit,but I think it’s funny that Rina has gotten two love songs consistently although this one is more upbeat and bubbly compared to the more bittersweet somber sound of First Love Again,but it’s not really my style like it’s not terrible it’s just not a song I think I’ll listen to often ykwim

Shioriko - “Koufukuron” : Ok…this is absolutely not how I expected this to sound,like her outfit names were things like “Undead Celebrity” and “Royal Skeleton” - I fully expected this song to be kind of spooky sounding but no…ily Shio but this preview does NOT do the song justice,it just seems so flat in comparison to her other songs I’m kinda disappointed :/

Mia - “Lemonade” : The song is very cute,it gives me very 2009 Hannah Montana but like a good b-side - There’s other Mia solos I like more,but this one is alright and also some of the lyrics are a little…silly but it’s easier to brush past this time (looking at you Toy Doll)

Lanzhu - “5201314 / I Love You for A Lifetime” : And the most unique song title in Love Live goes to…Zhong Lanzhu! But seriously,Lanzhu really does not miss,this song is so good :0c I like that she speaks a little more Mandarin in this song,and even the general vibe of the song reflects that too. It still has her sound,but has elements to it that are new - She truly never makes a bad song

[kayetra-spade-queen]

I found out Ben and Dainsleif was voiced by the Mr. Yuri Lowenthal. Imagine their relationship as probably teacher and student.

Imagine if in an alternate universe where Ben received a vision (any element you can think but I think it'll be dendro because it's green) Dain wasn't so pleased about it but he trains Ben anyways because yes

HOLY SHIT- HELP- YOU'RE RIGHT-

Ok- first and foremost, I think Ben would receive a Hydro vision than a Dendro one.

I know it's weird since my Ben had a Heart of Tandem with nature capabilities, but hear me out;

I found a note made by someone from Hoyolab that the element of the vision is usually associated with the user's personality or what they endured to get their vision.

Anemo - hardworking

Geo - perfectionist and/or calculative (also hardworking, but not to the extent of an Anemo would get)

Electro - black sheep

Dendro - obsessed

Hydro - charismatic and/or a huge sense of justice

Pyro - passionate and/or stubborn

Cryo - loss of loved ones (Chongyun is a bit of an exception due to can't handle heat)

This'll gonna be a whole thesis by the time I finished writing this-

For the reason I think Ben would get a Hydro vision was because he is indeed charismatic (although had a bit of an ego, but let's put that aside for now), and he also had a great sense of justice. The nation of Hydro is the nation of justice, and that doesn't include the fact that the Opera House is a theater stage and a courthouse as well, which symbolizes the both natures of the element they represent to the people who possess the element of Hydro.

Although it would be funny if Ben was initially wasn't happy with the element he got, and would want to have a Dendro vision instead of Hydro. But to even get a Dendro element, you have to have an obsession over something and fight it to the end goal. Ben doesn't have that, fame isn't his obsession (at least not anymore), and he doesn't necessarily have anything that would make him make it his prime focus like how Baizhu is trying to attain immortality. Ben's not like that.

You can argue that Ben's obsession could be of keeping everyone in the universe at peace and that's completely valid. It's just that Ben's personality as a whole overshadows that, similar how Noelle would've gotten an Anemo vision due to her hardworking nature, but because she's a perfectionist, it was overshadowed, and she got a Geo vision instead.

Still, I think Ben would've accept the vision anyways; who wouldn't? Manipulating elements and using them as a weapon to fight? Not to mention it's still accessable in all of his alien forms (to some extent). But I'm low-key sure Ben would mostly use it if he's human and wasn't able to turn into an alien at the time so he won't have to just keep getting the hit without fighting back.

Now about Dain, I would really love them to have a mentor-student relationship as well, it's an interesting concept indeed. I did once thought of Ben would've met the Abyss Sibling (in my case it's Aether cuz I have Lumine as my Traveler), but since we don't know how much time passed between the Abyss Sibling and Dain's split to the Traveler's starting venture, I would rather kept that by the time Dain and Ben met, Dain was no longer the Abyss Sibling's travel companion for the sake of it. And at the time, Ben hadn't received a vision yet.

It would be hella conflicting for Dain by the time Ben actually got a vision, because Dain still had no trust for the gods.

The only reason why Dain still had a relatively ok relationship with Ben was because Ben was pretty neutral about archons and Celestia, and he only got the vision because his will reached the heavens.

I have 2 weapon choices for Ben; polearm and claymore. It'd be hilarious if he had the sheer strength especially in his human form to carry around a claymore.

And since Dain looked like he's a sword wielder, I think it'll be great if he taught Ben how to properly wield a sword. The size of the sword isn't a problem, they're swords at the end of the day. Learn the basics, implant some new techniques yourself with and/or without your element, you're good to go.

Although Dain would still disappear more often and would visit once a blue moon since he's still chasing after Abyss Heralds and still seeking for the Loom of Fate. Ben would have plenty more time to implant his own techniques more than learning the basics of swordsmanship (but that does not mean he doesn't learn them altogether).

And about Khaenri'ah, Dain would definitely told Ben (and maybe Rook, Max, and maybe Azmuth for extra spice) about it, but he won't be very specific or too in detail about it, and would definitely tell Ben to "find out yourself".

Although Dain is distrustful of the gods, that doesn't mean Dain have to push his narrative onto Ben (because we all know that Khaenri'ah started the cataclysm by tampering with the power of the abyss *eyeing Rhinedottir*, which lead to Celestia to intervene because the abyss is spreading to the other nations).

As for if Ben would try to investigate about it himself, that really depends. He can't really abandoned his duties as the protector and peacekeeper so he can have an expedition, but he would be interested in finding out. If Ben actually decided to go through with it, it might be because he was pushed by Gwen, maybe even Azmuth (although unlikely).

In short, Dainsleif and Ben would be a great mentor-student duo, Ben would be cool with a vision (although he would really want a Dendro one, but it is what it is), and Ben would be interested in finding out about Khaenri'ah at some point if he was pushed enough.

Thankie thankie

I match you with...

AKIRA

You two compliment each other so well!! On one hand, you're similar. On the other, you're balanced. I imagine you to be a driven person with a strong sense of justice - a quality the two of you share. It draws you together, and together there's nothing you can't accomplish. Both of you take care of each other when you forget to take care of yourselves and have a great support system in one another. While you can be a little scattered emotionally, Akira is more... stable I guess, if you're not offended by the term. He's your rock when things get too much, and you help him learn to express himself! Overall you're the scariest power couple out there tbh.

HEADCANONS

● Words of affirmation you say?? Akiras got you covered. He's quiet until you're alone, but he loves to smother you with compliments the second you are. Between making you blush and trying to boost your self esteem (he just wants you to see you the way he does) Akira never stops saying nice things to and about you.

● Phantom thief extraordinare, Akira WILL keep quiet and pretend not to be home when you are just to hear you sing. He loves hearing you habe fun. He also likes how flustered you get when you realize he's been there the whole time.

● Akira is normally really chill, but he turns into the most doting worry wart when you get an abdominal migraine! He's got water, the BRAT diet, buckets, meds, comfy blankets and pillows... he really goes over the top to make you even a little more comfortable. Basically turns into your personal servant tbh

● Don't like math tests? Akira's got you. He's very proficient with book learning and he's more than willing to put in a little extra work to help you. By which I DEFINITELY mean helping you cheat. He could tutor you, and would if you wanted, but why not get rid of the anxiety completely by just having Morgana signal the answers to you through the window?

[magic-hcs]

Hayo first time asking (as far as I can remember...) and I've never done one of these matches before so I'm down to give it a try and roll the dice 🎲

Let's lay some basic information down with bullet points

-I'm biromantic and asexual (meaning I'm romantically attracted to both men and women but have a very low libedo)

- I've taken multiple quizzes on soul traits, cause let's be real they're fun and 8 times out of 10 I've gotten justice so that's my metaphorical soul trait

- I look good in dress shirts

- I eat a lot

- I'm short (5'3)

- I have both black hair and black eyes

- I'm white (who would have guessed)

- I wear green clothes except for one yellow/brown outfit that a wear for Job interviews

- and finally I would wear rings over necklaces any day, they're just easier to wear

So to continue with my personality I'm on the jokester spectrum, pranks aren't my Forte and neither of puns but I'll say the most out of pocket things that'll catch you of guard and have you rolling, I'm adaptable to people around me so I can mesh with other groups but with complete strangers im a bit shy. When I dislike someone (which mostly happens if the the do something that rubs me the wrong way) I will hold a grudge and it could last years, and finally I have a bad habit of bitting off more then I can chew and then choking as I chew it anyway

Moving on to hobbies after that mouthful, I have a wide variety of randoms I pick up, to mention a few, crochet, sewing, embroider, slideshows, art, coding, baking (I made a fire cheescake), cooking, writing, Pottery, reading I think you get the idea, oh wait, can't forgot mythology (particularly Chinese mythology). You should go to the next paragraph before I take up more of your time-

For my likes I am an avid enjoyed of all things fruit, in particular berries, my favorite being raspberries which are especially good frozen. I love the sky, particularly clouds and stars, my favorite weather is when the clouds are defined in shape and the sun breaks patches through it. Fall is a good season for me as I thrive in cold temperatures, half my friends are convinced I'm cold blooded since my skin is frozen all the time. On the opposite spectrum I like fire, fireworks, hot meals (LASAGNA, hibachi, lo mein and pot stickers) Rollercoasters, fairy lights and dystopia movies and literature.

Finally moving on to dislikes, don't worry it's almost over. I despise sand, it gets everywhere and is a pain in the butt to clean up. I hate it when people act entitled to something or act pompous, and when people make a huge scene in confronting the person in a white knight way, it just rubs me the wrong way.

The end

If you read through all of this gabblygook I commend you on your perseverance so feel free to take your time with this. I'm completely ok with multiple matches and wouldn't mind some polyamory so go as nuts as your creative brain desires

I really like how you did your matchup essay! It’s very creative and fun to read!

~~matching…~~matching~….~matching~~…~DING~

You match really well with Syrup!

✨✨

(US Papyrus) Syrup:

Syrup is a jokester true and through, loves to send you memes and funny jokes and gets excited to find out your reactions. Your out of pocket comments are the highlight of his day.

Hope you don’t mind lots of snuggles and cuddles throughout the day the further you get into your relationship. Syrup is a very touchy boy. Even though you wouldn’t think so when you first meet him and at the start of getting to know him. He’s a bit distant in the beginning but as you get closer he both gets more sand more open and touchy till one day he’s just practically a koala clinging to you. (Not really, but you get what I mean.)

This is also a funny thing, one moment he’s sticking to you like glue and the next he’s retreating to his skeleton cave room for some alone time.

Another funny thing. This boy has no problem hugging, snuggling and touching you but the moment you initiate something he’s a flustered mess. It’s downright precious.

The both of you are in the ‘hold a grudge for a long ass time’ squad. Though Syrup is a bit more petty in that regard. Sometimes you’ll have to put him straight.

(Syrup just because the guy in front of you took the last blueberry ice cream, it’s still no reason to give them the stink eye.)

Hope you don’t mind damsel catching, treating minor injuries or are good at untying stuff, because Syrup is one clumsy boy. He trips over air out of nowhere - don’t worry, Syrup isn’t all that heavy when catching him so no need to be worried about your back - blurts out sentences that aren’t completely English or are a combination of multiple things (for example when he tried to say ‘waffle’ and ‘pancake’ and ended up saying with a serious expression; “do ya still have those waffalapacake?”) He forgets the door wasn’t open and walks straight into it, or gets his clothes or headphone cords stuck/tied up with anything and everything.

Syrup will deadass joke/pun whenever you catch him when he trips. It’s to deflect that’s he’s very flustered because, oh stars you’re so close and, OH STARS YOU’RE HOLDING HIM VERY INTIMATELY, BE STILL HIS SOUL.

One of those jokes is definitely this one : “heh, can’t help falling for you, eh?”

Syrup is in awe at the amount of hobbies you have, whenever he’s just laying around he likes to watch you do your things. It’s just so calming to watch and he loves seeing the process of unfinished creations getting finished. It’s just so fascinating. He will boast about you to his friends and brothers. This is the law. He is just so proud of you and finds you so cool. He once asked you to teach him pottery and he blushes everytime you touch him to guide and teach him how to do it.

You two share your experiences, opinions, advice and tips on coding with each other and help each other out when one of you is stuck. Syrup is very happy he has someone he can geek out with about coding and electronics other than Undyne.

Loves and I mean loves listening to you ramble about Chinese mythology. He loves learning about other cultures and their folklore. You two will definitely bounce off random mythological facts and tales off of each other.

Syrup is not a fan of real life fireworks because it’s so loud, but watching them on a screen is more his style. When he found out you liked fireworks he researched how to make some, so be ready to be surprised by some magic infused fireworks as gifts every now and again. (They don’t leave waste behind nor are very loud or dangerous, so win win.)

Stargazing definitely becomes a thing for you two, Syrup is able to name a few constellations but not many. He knows for example the Puppis and Mensa. And yes exactly for the reasons you’re thinking of. What can I say, Syrup sometimes has a childish sense of humor.

Syrup isn’t one to make a huge scene, he’d rather solve stuff behind the scenes. He doesn’t like having the spotlight on him in a situation. So you’ll be fighting your own battles most of the time, with only a little magic interference from Syrup if it’s getting out of hand.

✨✨

I hope you enjoyed your matchup!

Eurovision all songs playlist first thoughts (based on the Official Music Video playlist)

Heart of Steel - Ukraine can't win two years in a row which is why they're bringing a black musician so he can perform a song that slaps so hard for all of the white europeans to be too intimidated to vote for

Bridges - Pretty ballad, I can see tumblr hating how many votes this will get, I hope her voice does it justice on stage

Due Vite - I can already see how boring the stage presentation will be. pretty ballad tho

Who the Hell is Edgar - this is gonna be that song I'm OBSESSED with that doesn't make it past the semis

I Wrote a Song - This is this year's poor man's Fuego, people will either inexplicably love it or inexplicably hate it

Aijā - I think I'm too distracted by that music video to know how to feel about the song itself lmao

Carpe Diem - Fun, but kind of a generic dance pop?

Power - Also kind of a milquetoast power ballad

Mama ŠČ - I'm... hearing that this is beloved, so I will have to look it up lol

Dance (Our Own Party) - A good stage performance would guarantee this for the finale, definitely fun, not not top 5

D.G.T. (Off and On) - The top YouTube comment 'love the song but I can't watch without cringing' really hits the nail on the head lmaoo. automatically disinterested in anyone who thinks having girls dancing in lingerie around a boringly-dressed dude is good stage direction

Solo - This is one of the few 'pretty girl does nothing but dance around looking pretty' MVs that I'm 100% here for, I love it and I love her. however I happen to know there was drama in the vote in Poland so I'll accept her probably not making it past the semis

Like An Animal - Can't wait to hear a proper recording of this lmao. a decent generic pop dance I think

Promise - I spent the first 20 seconds worried this would have a boring stage but I don't think I'm worried anymore lmao. I'd be OK with this winning (if it wasn't Australia)

Samo Mi Se Spava - A sentiment I can relate lol. the second song so far that I'm OBSESSED with. I hope they don't ruin the stage design (if they can find a way to improve on this??? get a real big robot on stage maybe??? please do this justice!!)

My Sister's Crown - A damn good entry, one of those ones it'd be an actual crime not to promote to finals, as long as they can get the staging right (wish they could get all the costumes on stage!)

Unicorn - Something about her proudly claiming the 'power of a unicorn' in this power ballad is so??? funny to me?? I can't tell how seriously I'm supposed to take this

Tattoo - What is it about four inch long nails this year.

Évidemment - lmaoooooo is so French, even when the beat drops. I hope she doesn't stand on a pedestal the whole time on stage

Burning Daylight - I really love it and I can't really vocalize why exactly, I just hope this one makes it through to the finals

Future Lover - This music video is trying extremely hard to convince me this woman knows how to perform, but I'm not convinced. If she stands there is a cool costume doing nothing but waving her arms and gets all the points, I will be mad

Cha Cha Cha - Another make or break based on stage performance. not usually my style of music but I can see it being a great pump up song

EAEA - This isn't an obvious winner at first but I do love it?? if they can accomplish on stage what they're hitting in the MV they could be awesome???

Echo - I'm... half convinced her voice isn't going to be able to work on stage. there won't be enough weird backup dancers to distract

Stay - I'm kind of not expecting a lot from this one and yet it did make me feel emotional? so

Watergun - Yeah I'm here for this song winning, I'm generally kinda meh about songs where the political/social message is to obvious and common, but this is a good and different take on the anti-war song

Tell Me More - I like it well enough, sweet and catchy and probably one that my brain will come back to on its own

What They Say - I'm afraid of this being the song this year that I like and Calyx says sounds too American for her taste lmaoo. not such a fan of the MV tho

Break A Broken Heart - I mean, I guess I appreciate a good 'look how sexy this man is' song after all the 'look how sexy this woman is' songs

Duje - What is this, Albania's entry from last year?

Because of You - Oh OK, I thought we were lacking on toothless songs that try too hard to look made for the Queers

Blood & Glitter - YOOOO YEAH SEE THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT this is my kind of metal performance lmaooo. I hope they don't drop the ball on the stage!!

We Are One - Honestly without the costumes this could be such a generic boring song, which is a great way to show how presentation can effect the performance.

Soarele şi Luna - The kind of Culture song I really love, which gets mixed results during the semis so I hope this does well!

Queen of Kings - Fun, sure, but even if it wasn't in the first spot I wouldn't expect it to pass to finals

Breaking My Heart - Danish kpop wannabe?? lets see how well that works to get him over the first spot slump lmaoo (youtube comment says he looks like he was made on TikTok which is exactly right lol. that'll either work for or against him)

Ai Coração - Fun? Curious to see how it'll go on stage more than anything.

Black Adam (2022)

*****SPOILERS ****

Now I heard a lot of mixed reviews about this one but I tried to go into it with an open mind

First we got the good parts

I liked the Justice society

Hawkman, Dr fate, Cyclone and Atom smasher were great

I thought the little scenes between Hawkman and Atom were funny

Cyclones powers were really fun to see in action

The character or Amon was nice to. His excitement to meeting Black Adam reminded me of Freddy from Shazam (2019)

Sadly the characters and actors were the best part of an otherwise meh movie

Black Adam was portrayed as this big bad all powerful being

Especially in his first scenes where he kills all the Intergang agents

But he quickly becomes more of an anti hero after saving the main female character Adrianna

The character of Adrianna was confusing. I mean in the beginning she seemed like a courageous freedom fighter who’s just trying to keep her son safe

But then she just takes Adam back to her home ?? I mean she just saw him kill a bunch of people so maybe it’s best to leave him be

I know they see him as a Champion but if a 5000 year old being flew out of a mountain you run the other way

Things just seem to move fast the whole time

We then cut to the justice society and see a very quick “assemble the team” montage but it really doesn’t give the audience anything

I mean this is the first time we’re seeing these heroes but we’re only given bits and pieces about them

Atom Smasher is apparently new to the whole hero thing but it’s barley brought up? I mean is this the best starting mission for him

Then when they go fight Black Adam and it’s revealed that Adam is actually a bad guy who’s rage almost destroyed Kahndaq

But still there’s no real confusion from Adrianna or Amon, I mean they’ve only known Adam a day but they’re willing to risk everything to back him up

Amon I get cause he’s a superhero loving kid but I expected Adrianna to be more hesitant around him at least

As always though everything’s just brushed away when it’s revealed that it was Black Adams son who was the real Champion but he gave up his powers to save Adam from dying

Anyways a bunch of stuff happens which I don’t really wanna type out

The action scenes are cool though

It ends with the Justice Society letting Black Adam go?? (I don’t think Waller would be cool with that)

And black Adam becoming the protector of Kahndaq

NOW I personally love a good villain movie and was really hoping that’s what this was gonna be but it seemed to be a redemption story

Which I guess isn’t bad but it could’ve been executed better

A villain Black Adam would’ve been really cool to see though

Honestly in the beginning that’s where I thought this was going

When Adam first saved Adrianna I thought it was cause she had the Crown of Sabbac and he wanted it for something

And when he was at their apartment I thought the only reason he gave Amon the time of day was because Amon kept praising him

I really held on to the fact that Black Adam is a Shazam villain and was just waiting for him to show that side but it never happened

He killed people yeah but he killed the bad guys so he was still the hero

This movie definitely suffered from its fast pace

If they had just given the Justice Society more depth or given the characters more background (Adrianna mentions a couple times that her husband was killed by intergang but I don’t remember Amon saying anything about it like isn’t that his dad?)

This movie could’ve been a lot better

The action sequences were cool and all but there needs to be a good story

I really wanted to see more background on the magic behind Black Adams powers

If he got his powers from the wizards does he know about Billy?

While I really liked some parts the only thing this movie had going for it is the cast

I would’ve honestly preferred a more Justice Society focused movie then so much Black Adam destroying stuff

Overall it was just Ok

[m1ckeyb3rry]

First of all AYO THEME CHANGE??? Waittt I’m loving the gold accents it looks so clean and classy!!

The chin shot is actually my villain moment like hello???? Ok but the thing is like his hair COULD be worse like in terms of drawing it shouldn’t be all that different from shidou Barou or even zantetsu…like cmon there’s just a bit of shape tweaking but if all those artists on twitter can do it surely the animation studio can….smh they’re really just keeping us in suspense

FRR I remember thinking how well all the feather details were done in the animation too like….I remember playing the rio version of angry birds too HAHA

No definitely….like a good art style definitely helps with attention grabbing but if the story is really ass or not my style I won’t hesitate to drop it LOL

Sweetheart asshole and years of pining go hand in hand LMAOO truly the ultimate trope honestly there’s just so much potential for angst and sweet moments with it and opportunities for making things complicated and intricate and multilayered shshsgsjsj

OHHHHHHH that explains a lot actually. There’s no way I’d ever see bakugo and Karasu having anything in common except for gravity defying hair maybe….heah the gravel plus the like weird in between pitch of where his voice sits really throws me off but yeah maybe if we hear him say something other than “you schmoes” it’ll be better LMAO I’m lowk about to go do the same thing and rewatch with the dub just to see how everyone sounds now I’m curious

OK GOOD LMAOOO because I literally could not think of anyone else who I thought would fit the criteria lovable jerk nagi is so real his sassy moments that are still so like…nagi-like in nature are my favs LOL him just saying with a straight face “why do you suck” LMAOOO

Wait that’s so real though if he just hadn’t pissed off everyone he would’ve just breezed through everything LMFAOOOOOO like you just tripled your workload my man….emo Reo so true I think I only fully enjoy him when he’s finally doing things on his own so like up to manshine vs bm where nagi calls him back (smh)

LMAO ITS A STRUGGLE there’s lowk some scenes of Isagi that look >>>>> but HAHAHSGAHAHAH IM CRYING THE HEIGHT COMMENT so true compared to most others in bllk he’s sooooo short it’s so funny

I remember Barou looking very weird at first LMAO truly got the npc villain treatment until he joined isagis team

Ok also did you see the recent chapter LMAO

- Karasu anon

YESSS I FINALLY GAVE IN AND CHANGED IT hehe i rlly like the gold too!! it’s so bright which after having a darker theme for a while feels so refreshing 🤩 and yay that’s the vibe i was going for!!

no fr his hair is not any worse than barou’s gravity defying nonsense…i think it makes sense for the background shots that he’s not there because if you dim/blur them enough then yuki hiori and otoya can reasonably look like npcs because they have v basic haircuts but karasu’s haircut just screams “relevant character” KDJFJDK but yeah that chin shot was so evil…like wdym everyone else gets full torso shots at least and karasu only gets his bllk icon??? TARGETED (also wait slightly unrelated but the day that isagi’s “he’s a villain 😰” line abt karasu gets animated i’m going to laugh so hard because like karasu is just a silly dumb baby pls 😭) maybe they’re trying to build him up as someone scary?? he’s kinda the main antagonist of third selection (alongside shidou but in a diff way) and isagi’s main opponent in the game especially because he picks out isagi to bully so they’re making him rlly mysterious and scary 🤔 also idk there’s some scenes of him in the background of the last ep in season two and they did not do his hair justice LMAOAOAOA also it being blue in the anime throws me off so bad because i am a black hair/purple eyes karasu truther so him being a blue + blue combo is so ugh to me…like TAKE THE BLUE + BLUE COMBO AWAYYYY FROM KANESHIRO!! wdym kiyora isn’t going to have the burgundy plus dark hair anymore it looks so good and now he’s just another blue haired blue eyed emo 😭💔

RIO ANGRY BIRDS WAS MY SHIT omg i loved angry birds when i was younger…convinced we are the same person actually like the amt of link ups we keep having is crazy

reading manhwa is insanely hard there truly are so few good ones…like how are there a bazillion manhwa out there but none of them have the exact trope i want?? i need the creativity to come through asap because some of these artists are wasting their hard work on the most boring midtier formulaic stories EVERRR 😭

i actually would recommend the dub solely because there’s a lot of jokes (mostly from nagi and chigiri) that the sub doesn’t have so it adds a much more humorous vibe to it!! like there’s a specific scene which i don’t remember being in the sub version that i literally had to rewind where barou is yelling at nagi in the background and he’s like “don’t talk back 😡” and NAGI LITERALLY JUST MOCKS HIM LIKE “dOn’T TaLk bAcK 😒” FJKSJS I LOST IT…they definitely decided to follow the spirit of the interactions instead of going for word for word translations so it feels like everyone’s a lot sillier!! there’s actually a lot of isagi sass too which made me like him much more than i did 😭 if you do end up watching keep me posted abt your thoughts 🫡 i think imo best dub voices in terms of fitting their characters have to be niko, anri, and reo ☝🏻 i actually also really liked that they made chigiri sound more masculine because it made him feel like more than just “girl insert of bllk” which is how a lot of people in the fandom tend to see him (side note rewatching the show helped me remember i love chigiri i just don’t like chigiri fans HAHA)

YESSS i think the only one that could’ve worked would be rin kind of?? considering i started bllk for him and wrote cherry tree abt him…i feel like i got on the nagi train way too fast though so rin never got to be a fav for very long 😩 and yes nagi’s lovable socially awkward jerk persona is sooo >>> i think he stands out because unlike most lovable jerks his delivery is so deadpan that you don’t even register he’s actually a shithead until much later 😭 like so many people don’t realize that he is the one talking the most trash CONSISTENTLY forget abt karasu otoya barou rin and isagi (i mean isagi def has him beat on field but off field he’s nice so it doesn’t count) NAGI is the true asshole of bllk 😰 like wdym he pulls up to a game and asks barou if he’s been practicing kneeling?? THAT IS VILEEEE but he just says it so 😐 that it’s just like oh okay…forgetting this man is a gamer like yk he has evil shit stored away in the back of his mind that he just doesn’t release because he’s apparently a “pacifist”

i love reo in epinagi the most i think!! mostly because we really see his true personality show there and he’s actually just dramatic (him crashing out while talking to zantetsu will never not be funny) and a show off but he also is such a sweetheart?? i need team v reo back NOWWW that’s def his best era 😭💔

there’s some panels/scenes where i get the vision but tbh sometimes in his rlly good panels he just looks like an off brand rin 😭 like if i’m going to like one of them it would just be rin atp because canon rin is actually hilarious and would probably lose it if you rightfully call him emo so i could def make it work in at least a humorous context 🤩 meanwhile isagi would just be like “what does emo mean ❔ do you mean EGO ❔ wait…let me adapt to this…” jkjk but also am i 🤨

no they literally did barou so dirty that i was genuinely surprised when he came back?? like right before the game against team v when isagi goes to ask barou for help i was like “wtf why is he here” because i thought he was just going to be a baddie of the week that was never shown again fsr 😭 as soon as he joined isagi’s team he glowed up though!! and he’s been getting better and better in the manga (him in u20 and bm vs ubers 🤤)…honestly barou best character because why is every single duo he’s in iconic?? like him and isagi, him and nagi, him and aiku, etc it’s insane he just has an amazing dynamic with every character he interacts with 🤩 to the point that i think he’s the only character who’s had an actual meaningful dynamic with his nel coach too!! not that he’s aware of it LMAOAOA but barou + snuffy is leagues better than isagi + noel noa, chigiri/reo/nagi + chris prince, bachira + lavinho, and rin/shidou + loki

YESS I DID!! mini nagi and karasu appearances 🥹 it’s been so long since we saw nagi in the manga so even if it’s just in isagi’s imagination it was nice to see him mentioned LMAOO also erm my “get rin therapy” thoughts from the u-20 match still hold true HAHAHA like yes it’s good for soccer but this whole berserker thing cannot be good for his mental health 😭 i’m excited to see what happens in the next chapter!! ik a lot of people think the title means rin is going to surpass isagi so bad that they’re no longer rivals but idk if that would quite make sense to me?? like it would just feel odd idt one goal/one chapter would be enough for rin to feel as though he’s crushed isagi well enough for them to not be rivals anymore…personally hoping that it’s referencing a kaiser and isagi team up because that feels like it’s been foreshadowed more/feels more natural imo (like the enemy of my enemy is my friend kind of vibe) plus it would be nice if like their final game is the whole team working together even if it’s begrudgingly 😰 but who knows i will trust kaneshiro on this one!! i haven’t rlly been majorly disappointed in anything with bllk yet (mostly just the way people read/analyze it) so i have faith it’ll cook

me: oh there's no way that's- wait i can just look this up

*googles "kamala harris campaign website"* *clicks on kamalaharris.com*

first thing i see:

that's a screenshot of the entire page. then right after i took that screenshot, this popped up (probably not related to the screenshot, i think that was a coincidence):

*click "later"* *click "close"* ok so NOW we'll be getting to the meat of the- MA'AM, AGAIN?

twice, even, wow. well ok that's just kinda annoying but i already knew politicians wanted donations (gotta say "let's win this" is. a little on the nose but alright). maybe her platform will be under "meet kamala harris"?

ok, so there's some things that happened under the biden administration, and she also wants people to know she's pro-choice and anti-voter suppression which. seems like it should be a no-brainer, but this is america, so. ok what else?

some more stuff she's been part of (just throwing this out there tho - grilling kavanaugh was a waste of everybody's time; the man threw a public temper tantrum and the dems still couldn't get rid of him. idk if i would choose this to brag about, personally).

"back on track" is also an interesting thing to be bragging about - it was well-intentioned but imo had serious issues that still haven't been addressed (first and foremost being that you have to plead guilty to be eligible, which already shows a deeply biased viewpoint of the criminal justice system's effectiveness; to be clear this isn't a part of the program itself, it has to do with california's penal code, but it's still a serious issue, and harris herself tied it to her plan directly), it served very few people (only about 241 people fully completed the program, according to an internal da document, although that may not be fully accurate as some of the other numbers didn't quite add up) and also i. don't think there's any actual evidence that it had much effect on sf's crime rates (the rates DID go down, but that had more to do with california being ordered to reduce prison overcrowding and a general decrease in support for overcriminalization).

(for integrity's sake - i used jacobin's article on back on track bc i couldn't really find much else that had anything of value to say, but jacobin is a source with a left-wing bias, and while the sources the author uses seem legit, i would recommend checking them out yourself if you find something a bit funny somewhere)

anyway, let's keep going. we'll find that platform somewhere.

ok that's. great i guess good for her i don't actually care about. any of that (aside from being the first black, south asian, and female vp, which is neat)

well that seems to be it for meet kamala american girl, so maybe her platform is somewhere else. to tim!

resisting the urge to state my personal opinion on the american military and what serving in it says about a person, the first half of this bit is kinda... vague. how many Good American Boy boxes will Terrific Timmy tick off today!

$35 a month for anything would absolutely devastate me if i had diabetes and lived in minnesota and was one of the many-but-not-all people that that applied to, but. well it's actually the same price here i think so not like i can judge (except the schmucks who let/made it get that overpriced; they're going to have to build a new circle of hell just for those fuckers)

speaking of that paragraph, the second half of it starts off strong with a genuinely good thing he did in protecting abortion rights, but it immediately turns right back around and punches itself in the face with the police (yeah cuz you know what america needs? MORE cops)

i don't think his dad being a veteran says much about him except to explain why he joined the military (refraininggggggggg) but i will take this opportunity to dad-flex on him bc my dad burned his draft card <3

ok, reaching out to the i-only-care-about-guns crowd, that's a fair move. not sure what the pheasants did to him personally but if you're gonna hunt something, that's a pretty decent one to go for, i suppose.

good for his daughter? i'm going to assume she was ok with that being super public information bc. now it is.

ok well that's. i mean it doesn't mean a whole lot but alright. moving on i guess

let's see if we can find her platform under "take action"

i'm gonna looooove what i see when i scroll down, i bet

i would not like to do any of those things, if i am being entirely honest

maybe events?

THIS ISN'T EVEN YOUR WEBSITE ANYMORE, COME ON

maybe her platform is in the last part of her website

at the bottom of this mug

(for the record, i also checked all of these

to see if i could find her platform hiding in them, but.

anyway i'm going to share the faq page bc. it's hilarious to me. i swear i am not making this up:

fortunately, that second to last one actually contains something useful!

don't mind if i do!

aaaaaand sent!

If you go on kamalas website then you'll find not a single campaign proposal is on there. Not one.

So apparently......Being LGBT is now higher in the oppression rankings than being black and homeless.

Look at that statement. Look at that malice. "If I'm asked to go to court, I'm going to press for the MAXIMUM CHARGE POSSIBLE."

In case you are curious, this is Fred Innocent. Either the most tan person I've ever seen in my life, OR this is a black man who is about to be pushed through the criminal justice system for the crime of trying to take a dump in a failing city. The man could have done it in front of the restaurant, but he tried being clean ish about it.

Now am I defending this man? Not really no. He's had previous run in's with the law. However I find it funny that NY is currently pushing to arrest a man who detained a person who was making threats and assaulting others on a train car. Enough so that 3 people attempted to suppress him. The man in question, also a homeless black man, but he was being violent and making what was honestly terroristic threats. Or threats to mass harm.

Look at how both of these cases are being handled and tell me things are "Ok" in NY. There is so much wrong in the world and the people living in it quite literally condone it so long as it's not happening directly to them, and then if it does they either apologize for the person that did it to them, or they lose their ever loving shit.

Welcome to Neo Progressivism. A cult with no morals, no standards, no scripture aside from MAYBE the communist manifesto (and even most of the time not), and a fluid belief in science, math, etc. There are no facts to these people only, "Their truths". Which are not "truths" at all. It's a fancy way of saying, "that's my opinion but I want to force it on you so I'm going to use a objective word like truth instead of the real word".

more dp x pkmn doodles (it’s free serotonin) this time with valerie!!

rambling about her team under the cut:

Valerie’s pokemon were difficult to choose… I wanted her to have a relatively uncommon fire or fighting type for her bc because 1. I just think those types fit her, and 2. she used to be a spoiled rich kid, so i doubt she’d accept just any old pokemon for her partner.

Litleo:

chosen as her starter for its fierce personality and also bc its normal typing coincidentally gives it immunity to ghost types.

Probably lazy 90% of the time but gets super aggressive when challenged. It isn’t very interested in ghost hunting unless its perceived territory (the apartment, school, and/or nasty burger) is under attack.

Maybe has a personal grudge against Cujo? (havent decided on a pkmn for him yet tho...)

The other option for her starter was Vulpix bc its evolution is characterized as “spiteful”, which i think matches her pretty well lol. Some of the fire starters would be… okay for her, but I wasn’t a fan of any of their final evos.

Riolu:

baby pokemon gifted by Vlad. Perfect IVs/EVs, trained with dark-type TMs, has Foresight to negate ghost immunity, yada yada. It’s been raised from birth to be Valerie’s ghost hunting partner and doesn’t know much else about the world.

As Riolu grows older and its ability to sense aura/emotions increases, it begins to doubt its training, leading to it refusing to hunt Phantom because it knows that he can’t possibly be evil. (This attitude gradually spreads towards other ghosts as well, but Phantom is the trigger. Alternatively, maybe Ellie is involved somehow?)

Riolu and Val get into a big fight over it and Riolu runs away, forcing Valerie to confront her grudge against ghosts or risk losing her partner forever.

Riolu’s admittedly a bit of an odd choice for ghost hunting since it doesnt have type advantage, but I’ve grown quite attached to the idea of Riolu/Lucario’s innate sense of justice coming to a head with Valerie’s quest for vengeance. And also Vlad not thinking his plan through by gifting her a pkmn known to detect ill intent is very funny to me… like why didnt u give her a pawniard or scizor or smthn?? congrats u played urself

Riolu has no idea half-ghosts exist btw! Vlad kept it in the dark so it wouldn’t turn on him or reveal his identity. it suspects SOMETHING is up with danny though, which leads to some awkward staredowns at school. (also going by pkmn game logic: riolu can’t see through illusions without attacking first, so danny’s hisuian zorua is safe so long as it assumes another form)

im trying to avoid giving out too many shinies but shiny riolu just fits val’s color scheme sooooo much better. lets just say vlad wanted to show off REALLY hard that day, ok? being one of the few ppl in school with a shiny poke would make her less unpopular than she is in canon, but she still doesn’t rejoin the A-lister crowd.

riolu being so recognizable does mean it has to wear a disguise when ghost hunting tho (which makes my red huntress sketch non-canon lmao). it either wears a mini huntress suit or just a black cloak!
