Episode 10 Rants and Thoughts

I'm not Ok and neither are y'all so let's get into it

July looks gorgeous! And look! There are people now like my goodness. Also this city gives me ff7 city vibes (I can't remember the name but iykyk)

K U R O N E K O MY SWEET BBY GIRLLLLL

Ok, vash sneezing at the wrong time and ended up getting caught is so Vash of him lmao

But him just taking the bullet???? Yeah this man is so fucking depressed and is not hiding it at all. And then he just walks away??? Sir please seek THERAPY

THE SCARS???? Like is that exposed muscle???? Him just taking the bullet out like its nothing...honestly speechless (good now give him more)

Side note: The animation for when Vash turned was different! It felt more 2d, I'm digging it.

Elendira's nails! I'm still upset at her design like the badass nail lady with great fashion sense was RIGHT THEREEEE

R.I.P Roberto De Niro...we saw his death coming fucking MILES away TIME FOR MERYL STRYFE TO BECOME THE BADASS CHARACTER SHE DESERVES TO BE (now who's her first victim I'm betting Conrad lol)

Fucking Elendira and Wolfwood bickering, fucking chaotic sibling energy

CONRAD C O N R A D THE FUCKING PICTURE IM NOT OK IM NOT OK NO T O K

Does knives plan on using the red plants to make vash a full plant like him??? Is he trying to restore Vash's energy??? I NEED TO KNOW NOWWWWW

We're getting close to end yall and next episode is definitely trauma central like I hope orange fucking pulls all the stops on this one like I need to have my shit rocked mentally like BRING IT.

Like hit me like a TRUCK with this ending, make me FEEL for Vash and Knives, like make me feel for the people in July who are about to die. Give me flashbacks, hallucinations, nightmares ALL OF IT. I want stampede to get the season-ending it deserves, with Vash in the debris of the city blaming himself and wishing he ended himself right then and there. Meryl traumatized from seeing the death of THOUSANDS in the most inhumane way possible. Wolfwood questioning what monster he guided to the largest city and watch it be reduced to nothing. GIVE👏ME👏ANGST👏

Ok thanks for coming to my Ted talk

Multi fandom and crossover friendly!!

[ofluckandmagic]

YESYES!! To both of these!!! Absolutely would love both of these interactions. They sound like they’d be a lot of fun!!

@ofluckandmagic: ⭐

LIAN NICHANG. specifically using her mythology verse. Nichang is a powerful swordswoman who was bestowed immortality through becoming a figure of folklore, and she is not happy about this fact. She's unpleasant and difficult to get along with, but something tells me that wouldn't stop Eydis from popping up in her mountain home.

SIF. a bit of a cheat answer since they are from the same franchise, but it could still be interesting !! Sif is honestly such a mom, I can see her being surprisingly taken with Eydis and keeping an eye out for her in that motherly way.

send a " ⭐ " and I will list muses I would be interested in throwing at yours

Did I win the “Dead Fandom” contest?

Also here are the two websites (with the Wayback machine)

Vent//Body talk

I wish I were thinner. Like genuinely. I wish I looked “pretty”. There’s so many jirais who complain about being fat when they’re underweight. If you were my size you would kill yourself.

[pyjamacryptid]

I’m trying soooo hard not to rant to my friends about unfortunately common writing conceptions but I remember that I was once studying to become a literal editor, so I feel justified for a second, and then I’m back to staying my hand because this soap box feels like a face reveal! The face of pretension!!!! Lmao!!!

Making this post from the hearts of me and my friends and their friends who like Rhythm Heaven here on Tumblr and Instagram

TANGOTRONIC FANS SHUT UP.

NOT EVERYTHING IS ABOUT THEM.

I HAVE TALKED TO A LOT OF RHYTHM HEAVEN FANS IN MY TIME, SOME GREAT AND SOME QUESTIONABLE. BUT YOU TANGOTRONIC FANS.

NEED TO BE PUT.

ON A LEASH.

I WAS FRIENDS WITH ONE ON INSTAGRAM. All they ever dmed me?

"YOU WANNA SEE THIS TANGOTRONIC ART?"

"*SENDS RANDOM FANARTS ANYWAY*"

"WANNA SEE THIS TANGOTRONIC STORY?"

"WANNA HEAR ABOUT TANGOTRONIC?"

NO WE DON'T.

IT WAS GREAT THE FIRST WEEK. OKAY THE NEXT. THEN I GOT TIRED. AND NOW I SEE MY FRIENDS GETTING BOTHERED TO HELL? WE ARE TIRED OF IT. If it was just me I could live but the fact it's not just this one person to me, it's multiple people to everyone.

I like Tangotronic3000 as much as the next guy, but YOU PEOPLE ARE TOO INCONSIDERATE. YOU SPAM THE FEEDS AND DMS WITH SO MUCH. I COULD BE HAVING THE WORST DAY EVER AND I CHECK MY ONLY DM TO SEE "HEY LOOK AT THIS TANGOTRONIC HEADCANON" SHUT. UP. AND STOP SPAMMING THE FUCKING ASK BOXES WITH IT.

IT'S NOT BECAUSE OF TANGOTRONIC EITHER, ITS JUST THAT EVERY TIME ANY OF YALL SPEAK ITS ABOUT TANGOTRONIC. NOT A HI, NOT A HELLO, FUCK, I BET YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW MY NAME OTHER THAN PACKINGPESTS. IT'S NICE IN MODERATION, BUT NOT EVERY FIVE SECONDS.

I leave them on read so many times for so long to no avail. I wake up to a tangotronic message. STOP IT. PLEASE. ALMOST EVERY RHYTHM HEAVEN MUTUAL OF MINE I'M CLOSE WITH IS SOMEWHERE BOTHERED (I have about 8, some ive actively had rant to me about them and a few ive just seen mention it once so far [Across a few platforms]). I have some that are just like, "Ehh, yeah it's annoying, but let them do what they want," then on the other side I have someone sending me "GOD FUCKING DAMNIT ALL MY FEED IS IS STOLEN TANGOTRONIC ART." Me personally I am at a 7 out of 10 on the annoyed scale.

Stop making everything about your niche game. I love talking about manzai birds or packing pests or munchy monk, but I don't make it a life style, and I especially wouldn't make it a lifestyle 1 to 1. An account about it? Sure, whatever, but god please make a group chat for y'all, you have each other to talk to who actually want to 24/7 eat sleep breathe tangotronic, some of us don't. Some of us don't have the heart to tell you, but thank God that ain't me. I've already blocked a few, but some remain, so if you see this, take fucking note.

CALM. THE FUCK. DOWN.

This was posted as of them being rabid and off the leash, if they are now, then hallelujah

This post is made up of 80% the rage of my friend Curtis who is at like a 11/10 in Tangotronic hatred and I didn't want him to feel like the only one so if you got a problem with it you fight me not him I love arguing

[pigeonstab]

SURPRISE ATTACK!!!

Coming in to get you!! and remind you how cool you are, you make the best outfit designs and have such funny and interesting ideas and the way you draw everybody is super pretty!! :D

waaaaa T T thank you!!!!

Ur the coolest <3

[cowboyskeletons]

*insane about media voice* i am normal about media

[theokusgallery]

Me at 10am: two more hours of sleep will fix me

Me at 6pm: what the fuck happened

[catovyen]

MCU: *releases Koinu no Carnival in GOTG 3* "omg Miku is canon in MCU!!" "Vocaloid is canon in MCU!!!!"

I'm sobbing and so does Chopin

I understand that Miku is the most famous Vocaloid among all of them (probably the icon) but mAN- I don't know how should I feel when a song that was made for Classicaloid gets to be called as the Vocaloid song from GOTG3, I mean it's technically is a Vocaloid song since it features vocal synthesizer voices but damn, only 0.01% knew it originates from an anime 😭 I can't really argue with that.

IDK WHETHER I SHOULD BE HAPPY THAT KOINU NO CARNIVAL IS GETTING ATTENTION - I am happy that Ehamic's music is getting more popular and more people know about the music (like oh my god finally some recognition), but also a part of me feels frustrated that it will be remembered as the "Vocaloid song from GOTG3", again. I kind of have mixed feelings for it.

Not to mention that it's not just Miku singing in that song, there are 50 Vocaloids included - I can't believe someone dissected the voices and recognizes them!

Are you a classical music/composer enjoyer and been wanting to watch an anime about it?

No? Well you're not the first one. 😔

Yes? Well, I'M OFFERING YOU GUYS FREE FOOD!

Anyways, if you like a slice of life anime of the historical composers that can transform into magical boys/girls (such as Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin, Lizst, Schubert, Tchaikovsky, Badarzewska, etc) + classical music remixes I suggest you to watch Classicaloid 😳 That "slice of life" can be very random and chaotic, but it explains their character along the series. It'll make you "what the fuck is going on" too. They have from comedic, serious, fun to sad moments.

Q = How many episodes and seasons?

It has 2 seasons, 25 episodes each! 50 episodes in total. Each composers are able to wield their powers called Musik and they have unique abilities!

If you want to see someone react to the first few episodes to get a glimpse on what it looks like - there is this video (they're the ones who introduced me to this anime):

You can learn something from each of the classical composers along the anime - such as:

Beethoven puts exactly 60 coffee beans for his perfect coffee, and he is really, really, REALLY passionate

Mozart is left handed and a cheeky dude

Dvorak loves trains

Tchaikovsky loves mushrooms

yada yada yada the Lizst goes on

Q: Where can I find a community of it?

We're a very small community and in desperate to find Classicaloid fans to talk about the series and share our thoughts 😭 The only way to discover fans is from tags tbh.

BUT, perhaps you're a Classicaloid fan who is looking to be in a Discord server, you may DM me and I'll invite you! Most of us here speaks English <3

Peace! Anyways, artwork coming in soon, I'm (kind of) free from my college projects 😳

[comfy-sofa]

IM LOSING MY FUCKING M I N D

IM NOT OK AND NEITHER ARE YOU AFTER THIS EPISODE

Vashmeryl fans, y'all are getting FED TODAY GOOD FOR YALL

HIS FUCKING HAIR OUR BOY IS BACK AND SPIKIER THAN EVER

The whole fucking fight sequence mmhhhh DELICIOUS the whole entire time I was screaming BEAT HIS ASS BEAT HIS ASSSS DO IT FOT ROBERTO

Ok, the fact that Vash kinda knows how to use his abilities and condense into the fucking rubic cube is kinda dope

Also during the fight, DID VASH FUCKING BITE KNIVES???? IM FUCKING LOSING IT (peak sibling behavior)(edit: yes he fucking did dhvswrrvbn)

First off, the outfit change??? Like all his shit is black and the fucking BLACK WINGS YESS PLANT BOY SLAY

Also THE SPEED RELOADER???? DID HE HAVE THAT SHIT ENTIRE TIME???? At least he has it lmao

Fucking about time Wolfwood you fucking helped COTDAMN (also the run sequence with him stepping on the police officer mhmm good shit)

THE ANGEL ARM IM FUCKING CUMMING I LOVE ITS DESIGN

Knives KNIVES GET OUT THE FUCKING BEAM YOUR GETTING ROASTED LIKE A MARSHMALLOW (really out here giving me 'get out the fucking tank' vibes like)

Speaking of this scene, we finally get to see Vash fucking cry....I'm not ok

Oh my God, Vash just turned himself into a goddamm METEOR SIR ARE YOU OK???

Well RIP July and Mr. Police dude

Oooh two year time skip and my boy got his bouty back!

MILLY MILLY MILLY MILLY MILLY (also refreshing to the insurance company👍)

ERIKS AND LINA I CANT WAIT TO GET MY HEART RIPPED OUT

EARTH EARTH FUCKING WERE GETTING THE EARTH STORY FROM TRIMAX THANK FUCK (Also heyyy chronica)

Looks like season 2 is also confirmed! Dude, this was a journey and a half. I'm really glad that orange went the prequel route, and we got to see what led up to July's destruction. We actually get to see a glimpse of what the cast could've been like prior to the events of Trigun/TriMax.

Fuck I'm glad stampede was a thing in the first place, or I wouldn't have watched the anime or read the manga. Like fuck this is really a piece of media that sticks with you y'know? Like how the fuck am I gonna move on now? Like it's been a while since I thought of creating fanart or just rant on it because it's so fucking good. Like if I could ever create something like Trigun, something that sticks with people, like that would be a great accomplishment. Sure, there were some ups and downs (maybe I'll do like a legit review post, idk) but fuck I had a good time!

Now this post is getting long so I'm just gonna end it with that I'm glad I let orange cook and I can't wait for season 2

Peace and Love y'all ✌️

OPEN STARTER CALL

Like this post to receive a super cool starter from one of my muses! Please specify muses (Eydis, Sable, Ryune) otherwise I’m pickin’

[alyanas-little-hideout]

the conversation on difficulty in games is always so weird because like.

Different games obviously have different things they want, and developers should be able to make games as difficult or easy as they want. I don't think it's necessarily a moral failure for a game to not be complete-able by some portion of players- I think that's just a side-effect of the medium. I don't think it's reasonable to claim that it's ableist for a puzzle game to require you to solve the puzzles to progress, in the same way it wouldn't be for a rhythm game to require you to beat certain songs.

like Cruelty Squad benefits a lot from it's unforgiving difficulty, and just being able to ask it to be easy would... really undermine the story that's being told about the ways capitalism consumes your humanity and empathy.

And at the same time Wrath of the Righteous and Baldur's Gate benefit a lot from having a story mode where you can't die- their stories are told through dialogue and character interactions more than through gameplay.

Some games don't have the option of difficulty levels, like MMOs, and then they have to just select a difficulty level that is satisfying for a good number of players. One of the ways it does this is by retroactively making dungeons and trials easier through both power creep and fairly generous gear syncs.

And it's been interesting watching people complaining about the Dawntrail spike in difficulty when it... doesn't really exist? the Dawntrail dungeons are all less difficult than Tower of Zot was before everyone could out-stat every mechanic, and they're already being entirely out-geared and stat-checked as more and more players are level 100.

It already feels so weird to play through last expansion's content and see so many mechanics be completely skipped because damage is so much higher.

ayyy

An interesting parallel

This is a Silm post, but not only Silm. Big spoiler for Brandon Sanderson's "the Rhythm of War" below the cut.

So, in the Legendarium (allegedly, tbh I hate this concept) the solution to Morgoth is to have Turin stab him with Anglachel. Which somehow solves something. Ok enough complaining

But.

In Stormlight Archive, the "have a dead messed-up guy with a baggage of bad life choices stab the main bad guy with a black, talking, very sus sword" actually works. It doesn't solve everything, and it causes another problem, but it does solve something. Also, it's an awesome scene.

I wonder if Brandon did this parallel on purpose or is it just me reading too much Silm. (Also, a conversation between Nightblood and Anglachel would be lovely to read.)
