honestly one thing that’s kinda crazy after growing up on tumblr (during what I’d call) the height of the soul eater fandom, is that soul eater is still WILDLY popular, just not how I’m used to

I mean, Meg the stallion cosplaying kid was INSANE— she’s SO INSANE for that— and it ATE DOWN??

and also, soul eater is SO popular on tiktok?? there’s so many trends that specifically involve those cheesy fucking eclectic poses that okubo would draw the teams in, you know what I’m talking about right— (Maka giving back shots to soul) and ppl copying them and having fun and it honestly makes me so happy

like ppl still LOVE this serious, it makes me so happy and it astonishes me so much to see some soul eater cosplay video getting upwards of 50k+ likes bc WHAT. clearly back in 2015 we weren’t reaching our full potential 👁️👄👁️

and get this, soma is still popular but what I’ve observed is that platonic soul mates soma is I think THE MAJORITY ship where I’ve looking? That’s insane from the pov of someone having grown up on here 2013-2019, before things rly started slowing down. Absolutely insane. Soma foothold was so strong. Anons were sent. Antis were made. Families were torn apart (jokes jokes,,, but what if 👀)

it’s the 20th anniversary for soul eater this year and I’m feeling so strange about it. I just can’t shake this silly little gothic try hard series ☹️ happy anniversary guys, I’m happy ppl still love soul eater to bits

- Talos the bronze giant

- the harpies

- the skeleton warriors, the spartoi, formed from the teeth of the Hydra

dragon, and dragontooth warrior. this dragon grows new teeth all the time so it gets a steady supply of warriors to carry out its will. I always thought that growing warriors from dragonteeth was really cool, but it never seems like the dragon takes advantage of this power

War of Shadow Realm ~ Origins of the Ink Demon Chapter 4 Pt.13 (1/3) ~

[Phanto Sanctuary - Planet Jupiter]

[Master C - Sota Fujimori]

Spirit Albarn : Oh, F**k! Where the hell am I!? Not the biggest idea for having myself into this place.

Maka's Mother/Female Phanto : Wake up, Spirit! Wake up! (Spirit wakes up)

Spirit Albarn : Honey, what is this place?

Maka's Mother/Female Phanto : Don't you remember? This is the place where Maka grew up on, the Phanto Sanctuary, the place that Phanto captured me when Maka was about to be born on Earth, so he took me to this place to give his race's blood to my daughter! She wasn't half weapon, she was half-Phantonian.

Spirit Albarn : half-Phantonian? What do you mean about that, dear? Are you saying that Maka's half-human and half-Phantonian, does that mean that she's some kind of Alien hybrid?

Master Phanto : Well, well, if it ain't the man who adopted the demon queen from earth.

Spirit Albarn : Long time no see, Phanto.

[the flames lit up to reveal Phanto sitting on his throne]

Master Phanto : It has been around 18 years since I took your wife, this is the place where your daughter was born and raised on this planet that my people conquered it. While you adopted a look alike human that is a demon disguise. Inky Albarn, the ruler of Bendy's world, wasn't it?

[Preparation for Ritual - Jun Senoue]

Spirit Albarn : How on earth did you know that.

Master Phanto : Because I monitored the situation on earth, you have been the daughter of an demonic queen that posed herself as the hero of Soul World. Lucky for me that I kept the real one safe, the one you really knew about. Hardly, Inky Albarn has used the perfect disguise by becoming the hero of today, and is immune to Shinra's or the mad man's influence.

Spirit Albarn : Well, yeah? Guess what? I heard that your daughter Moirai heard that she kept her and Maka's identity as a secret to make their selves as Earth's sworn protectors of earth. But for me, I hardly to keep a secret to make Inky Albarn as the meister herself, Maka Albarn. More importantly, about Inky Albarn, her disguising as the hero of Soul World, she wasn't a friendly person of Real World AU, she was evil and is extremely abusive to her human friends, and the witches were involved of this! In some sort of way! I begged everything for the real Maka Albarn, not the demon that I adopted it!

Master Phanto : Ah yes, I remembered! That was the day when Inky Albarn made those attacks on earth and is capable for putting the blame on our dear daughter Maka. That's how Inky Albarn wasn't involved for that, she knew the whole thing. Her plans on conquering the earth could be a fresh one, but I simplified that her weakness can be unknown.

Spirit Albarn : So, You agree that you'll help me out? I beg you to help me out! I've been only trying to respectful to my own daughter! Please, Mr. Phanto! Just give me one chance to prove that I'm a good father!

Master Phanto : That'll be your chances on saving earth. Help her out now or I'll demonstrate you that my people has the power to devour your soul for energy!

Spirit Albarn : I promise, sir! I promise!

Phanto Guy : My Lord! We found out where Maka is located at! She's at an abandoned space station called the "ARK", battling a random intruder that looks alike her, Spartoi unit.

Master Phanto : So, it appears that Maka finally understands that she is the only kind to save her world from the faces of true evil itself! I've waited long enough to dispose of those who wanted to bring destruction on the planet!

"Meanwhile back on the ARK..."

[For True Story - Fumie Kumatani, Heigo Tani]

Maka Albarn : Alright, time for a big showdown! You and me!

Spartoi Maka : I'll make sure that before the battle's over, let me show you the power of Chaos Control!

Maka Albarn : Chaos Control you say? Well, how about this! (Knocks Spartoi Maka off the passagway) Ha! That ought to teach you to mess with--

Spartoi Maka : Psyche! This is the ultimate power! (Teleports back on the passageway) I managed to use the power of the emeralds that Master Neo told me. It'll be wise enough to get me back on my feet!

Maka Albarn : Oh, A Chaos Emerald. That's what Grim told me about using the power of the emerald! (Spartoi trips Maka over) Wah!

Spartoi Maka : See ya next fall, Albarn! Hope you will be turning to into a fiery star, straight into earth (laughs, but Maka reappears by using Chaos Control)

Maka Albarn : You were saying?

Spartoi Maka : What?! You can use Chaos Control!? How on earth are you doing it!?

Maka Albarn : Easy! A blue hedgehog gave me the emeralds that can make warp or even has the power to stop time! Pretty sweet, huh? (Uses her blood magic to create her iconic scythe)

Spartoi Maka : Impossible! She using Blood magic to create weapons?! No one has ever done it before and I bet you won't even stop this attack! Chaos Spear! (Uses Chaos Spears to attack Maka, but she deflects it by swinging her scythe) How can she even do that?!

Maka Albarn : And now...(shifts her weapon into a Boxing glove) You're finished!

*DBZ SFX : STRONG PUNCH X3*

Spartoi Maka : GUWA-HAAAAA! *DBZ SFX : Collapses* This... Isn't over! I am the ultimate meister to be...created.

[JINGLE : Clear (SA2/Heroes Ver.) - Jun Senoue]

Maka Albarn : Game over, Spartoi! Now then, what to do with this android copy of me? Oh, I know! I better show this to my sister! Wait for me, Moirai! (Picks up the unconscious Spartoi Maka and carries on her back) Uh-Oh! This passageway ain't gonna last long! Better change of plans (pulls out the chaos emerald) Hope this works! Chaos...Control!

*Sonic SFX : Chaos Control*

Maka’s spartoi outfit is severely underrated imo

Want more bones? Want enough bones to replace your entire skeleton bone by bone? Want to have an existential crisis about whether the bones inside you are your skeleton or whether the bones you replaced and put back together outside yourself are? If the answer to any of those questions is yes, why? But also: You Need Spartoi’s Bone Seeds. Get boning!

Got Bones? (Printable)

Hey, I made a printable .PNG version of that “got bones” flyer if anyone wants to make a few copies to hang up in real life and cause some minor chaos around their town. Have fun, feel free to send me pics if you stick it up anywhere

Oh, obviously,” Reyna said. “Without you, I doubt Percy could find his way out of a paper bag.” “True,” Annabeth agreed.

I was thinking about this quote earlier, and now I present to you, a list (taken from my memory, so some examples may be missing) of everything Percy managed to achieve either without Annabeth in the picture or with very minimal involvement from her:

Fighting a fury (Alecto), and killing her

Fighting the Minotaur, and killing him

Resisting Clarisse’s bullying

Managed to pull off a difficult sword manoeuvre (according to Luke) on his first try (granted he did douse himself with water, but that was before Percy knew of his parentage)

Fighting against around 6 Ares campers whilst Annabeth stood there and watched

Fought a Chimera

Was the one to realise something was wrong at the Lotus Hotel and Casino and broke Annabeth out of her delusions

Dealt with Procrustes

Bribed Charon to take them into the Underworld

Possibly a questionable one, but I would say coming up with the plan to distract Cerberus. If you agree that the plan was basically ‘distract Cerberus with playtime’, (which Grover credits Percy with), the issue was not the plan but the items involved. Since if it was Annabeth’s plan originally why wouldn’t she just use the red ball straight away?

Fights Ares and draws first blood (or ichor, in the case of Ares)

In the fight against the Laistrogynians, Annabeth doesn’t show up until almost the end. Tyson does most of the work, why isn’t Tyson gettting credit, Reyna? 😡

Saves Annabeth from the Sirens

Alongside Tyson, fights Polyphemus

Is the one to give the Fleece to Clarisse, meaning Luke can’t get his hands on it. Annabeth calls him insane for doing this and says he’s ‘too nice’ and acts as though Percy is mad for trusting Clarisse to get back to camp.

Proves Chiron’s innocence and gets rid of Tantalus.

Fights and comes up with the strategy for defeating the Nemean Lion, with the help of Thalia, Zoe, Bianca, and Grover

Comes up with the strategy for beating Talos

Figures out how to escape the Spartoi at Hoover Dam

Captures Nereus

Works to convince Thalia that Zeus does care about her and not to sacrifice the Ophiotaurus

Fights Atlas

Holds up the sky

Deals with Geryon, first by cleaning the stables and then by killing him

Defeats his brother Antaeus (I will acknowledge that Annabeth tells him about Antaeus’s parentage though)

Eventually figures out that they need a clear-sighted mortal to navigate the Labyrinth (and a reminder that Annabeth admitted she had no idea what she was doing)

The entirety of the Stolen Chariot

The entirety of The Sword of Hades

Explodes Kronos’s ship with Beckendorf (the reason it didn’t go well is because of the spy, not because Annabeth was out of the picture)

Fights Kronos

Fights Hades and his army

Deals with the Hudson and the East, and by extension the monsters crossing the rivers

Fights the Minotaur (again)

Fights Kronos (again)

Deals with the Clazmonian Sow

Fights Hyperion with the help of the satyrs and nature spirits

Convinces Poseidon to come and help with Typhon

Continuously kills Stheno and Euryale

Manages to trick both Phineas and Gaea

Kills Polybotes with the help of Terminus

Defeats an entire cohort of Roman ghosts on his own

Becomes Praetor of New Rome

Causes a massive storm with Jason

Fights Otis and Ephialtes with the help of Jason and Bacchus

Comes up with the strategy (on the spot) for defeating Chrysaor

Defeats Akhlys on his own

Is at least part of the reason why Bob is in Tartarus to help them (the rest of the credit goes to Nico)

There’s probably a load more I’m missing, but that’s all I can remember up to the end of House of Hades. Is there a reason why Annabeth doesn’t bother to correct Reyna?

[chao-studios]

New custom chao incoming with the next CWE update! (as well as the framework for others to make their own!)

And a sample of some colors I did while beta testing for the mod!:

[hiveswap]

My current biggest complaint with marvel is that starlord is apparenly "half Spartoi" but they had him have a child with a Kree in this game and with whatever Aradia is in the comics. You know what that means

CADMUS SLAYS THE DRAGON /1573-1617/ by HENDRIK GOLTZIUS

This is a scene from Greek mythology, Cadmus, is in a deadly battle with a dragon guarding a sacred spring. The dragon killed his men sent to fetch water, When Cadmus discovered the fate of his men, he vowed to avenge them, leading to the dramatic confrontation depicted in Goltzius' painting.

In the composition, one of the dragon's heads is devouring Cadmus' companions. While he thrusts his spear in another of the heads, it is a moment of violence and vengeance. The figures in the painting have detailed anatomical features, highlighting the interest in human form common during that time.

Right after the dragon's defeat, a voice prophesied that Cadmus would one day become a serpent himself. Minerva, the goddess of wisdom, then appeared to Cadmus, instructing him to sow the dragon's teeth into the soil. This act would lead to the creation of a new race of warriors known as the Spartoi, leading to the founding of Thebes.

After a while, Cadmus reflected on his past and expressed a wish to be transformed into a snake as punishment for his actions. He lamented, "If that serpent was sacred... may I lay out my length as a long-bellied snake? "No sooner had he uttered these words than he was indeed transformed into a serpent.

I just realized it's been nearly a month and I haven't reported back to the western Soul Eater community the live experience of the Soul Eater Exhibit so here's what I got for you!

First of all, these are taking place at Animate stores and if somehow you think you can make travel plans within the next month or two, there is a third showing in Kyoto happening in January. When entering you are given a random shikishi board and if you paid extra you also get a sweatband (but I did not). I went with a friend who happened to live nearby who helped a lot with getting tickets but they were at the door available as well.

The entrance was a small area that featured the main promotional image and the Excalibur floral display replicating the one in the manga.

Beyond the entrance there was no video allowed and at certain points no photos allowed. Mostly at the end where there were a bunch of Shikishi boards with signatures from staff and voice actors.

What I didn't realize from pictures is that the manga pages shared are the original pages showing all the techniques and mistakes on page. I wish I could share them all but Tumblr is not the place for that. The one I did want to share is a page where presumably Ohkubo and an assistant played tiktaktoe and made and aiaikasa for Renton and Eureka from Eureka7 which was also being released in Shonen GanGan at the same time.

Not all pages of the series were shared and it was more favored to the first half of the series with different section to highlignt characters and story beats. The first main area was after the first curtain (photo above) had Maka's scythe and a copy of each volume hung up on a side wall. You then go through a set of curtains with souls on it into a large space that had the main pairs and additional charactera from the volume art blown up with the corresponding introduction chapters. This is the space with the replica of Shinigami-sama's room. This led into a hall featuring Crona and had a decal of Crona and Maka's shadows holding hands on the ground. Then there was the Excalibur Wall. My memory after that is a little fuzzy because I was distracted/self conscious(Was very amused by another pair as the clear fan explained the series to her friend); if I remember right there was a second hall showing the brew arc then Black Star's final Mifune fight and then a corner space representing the Arcane fight with a blown up decal of Maka in her black blood dress. The space didn't feel like people should walk in it, there was a thin foam on the floor and words from the panel dangling down so you couldn't really see much of the art. Early spartoi passes by really fast in favor of a wider hall with the killing of Medusa; pages on the right with corresponding blown up art on the left. At the end was a giant wall featuring the moon. Then it the pages of the final fight and the display ends with curtains showing Maka and Soul diving into Asura's black blood to find Crona.

The major bit at the end is there is a fully voice acted section of the final chapters of Soul Eater with the manga pages manipulated to it. The motion graphics weren't crazy amazing, about what you'd expect out of a storybook style pv. You were not allowed to take photos or video of this section. So a whole voice recording of what the finale of the manga could sound like could become lost media unless it's released somehow. There's a small final room showing the pages of the final chapters art. A large acrylic display of the meisters in their final character evolution that's backlit. A final space shows off the colored art, the originals if the were done traditionally. There's a small selection of new art, really long piece. Ones that has the og cast and the not girls which probably was during the not era but I don't remember ever seeing it. And then a spread of Spartoi plus Not. Liz and Tsugumi have the best fits in it but I feel a lot of people will like Crona's shirt best. Ohkubo signed a print with a sketch of Maka at the end alongside the two pieces that he love drew on the opening days. In the same space is where the signature shikishi boards were. I was extremely sad that I couldn't take a pic because one had some sort of Maka that was gorgeous but we speculated that it was to avoid signature fraud.

After that you took the stairs down to an extremely tight store. I realized too late that there were no photo signs however it feels like I'm missing some pictures I had taken from my gallery.

This is where I'm gonna be hella real, I do not fucks with Ohkubo's Soul Eater art in recent years. I saw a guy on Tiktok standing by it was his Twitter sketch style but that doesn't work for me with official products. From the perfect edition cover art, to the exhibition special art, to the two??? new pieces for the encore art book; it all feels extremely sloppy in terms of linework, posing, and proportions. If someone were to tell me it's a result of burnout, I would respect that easily but none the less I did not buy anything with the exhibit art on it (sans the pamphlet) more grab the art book. The art book is probably not worth it either unless you weren't able to grab the previous ones. I probably will eventually get it when the English one comes out next year and I probably would've saved money if I bought it while I was there but the weight wasn't worth it and I had in fact spent ¥42,000.

For all the things I did buy, I do regret not picking up some items; an art board from the other artbooks, the sticker set A, the mini towel, and one additional set of the cookies and coffee but as seen above I grabbed a lot and felt pretty aware I had a full basket compared to everyone else. You could also only make one purchase per a ticket and sadly only one commemorative bag per a purchase (I still ended up with two due to my friend). The final thing that you may want to know is the quality of said good; the plushies are worth it simply for existing but could've been higher quality, the ¥7000 (roughly $50) hoodie I bought was extremely thin and has shed so much from the inside that I have yet to wash it in fear it would disintegrate (I'm being slightly dramatic but I truly fear what will happen when I do), and while I did not buy them I did see the in person versions of the made to order items; the skate deck was a proper translation but didn't look particularly nice considering the simplicity of the design and the Soul Jacket was worse than cosplay quality made out of a really thin poly that didn't hold it's shape. ¥18700 yen is about $120 USD right now which is already way too much for the quality but keep in mind the buying power is equivalent to roughly $190. If you want Soul's OG jacket then I would best recommend customizing a real varsity jacket, followed by finding a used one of the original great eastern release, followed by what ever streetwear brand version of your choosing because while they might have inaccuracies, they will at least have ribbed trimming. I know I'm ragging on this pretty hard but I want to emphasize that it is an item you are not missing out on in case you feel the need to proxy order one. The most worthwhile items will be the plushies and food goods, and from there O would call the general Osaka added goods nice. Initially I was not impressed with the acrylic blocks but in person they had nice dimension. Any printed good outside of that is your own discretion albeit I don't think they're particularly going to be high value items in the future.

The final final part is I found out the day before there was a wrapped train for the show. Honestly a higher honor than I expected for the series. However the night before was spent at an Onsen a good distance away and the day of was a downpour so I sadly did not witness it as it would of likely been an effort to find.

I think that's all I can give towards the experience in writing but I will include particular sights in subsequent reblogs.

War of Shadow Realm ~ Origins of the Ink Demon Chapter 4 Pt.12 ~

[Final Fortress/Eggman Fleet Core]

Ashley : So much getting through. This must be our luck!

Kimial Diehl : No idea! I think we're in the core of the armada, or we're still on the flagship, Metal Sonic did had some power to control the storms.

Ashley : I hope there's only a minute to spare.

Kimial Diehl : Good thinking! Then let's hope to it!

Eggman : (piloting the Egg Emperor) : I wouldn't think so!

Kimial Diehl : Oh no!

[Break You Down - Yutaka Minobe]

Ashley : You must be the mad scientist that blew up Prison Island, right? Wait a sec, you're decoy sent by Neo Metal, aren't you?

Kimial Diehl : What a worthless sucker you are.

Jacqueline O'Lantern Dupre : Oh, I find very intriguing that a maniac that blew up an island that imprisoned Shadow 50 years ago. It happened back then during the incident and after the Black Arms Invasion, The Time Eater is sending a decoy that distracted the four teams to think they won. But more importantly, Neo Metal has been using these vehicles to manipulate the heroes in order to collect data.

Ashley : You're willingly to forget all the things you did back on the island that you blew up! As much of Neo Metal's influence being the overlord himself, I am going to put up that nuisance of yours and it will be your lasts!

Sonic : Not so fast, Eggman!

[Sonic Appears - Takahito Eguchi]

Ashley : Huh?

Knuckles : We won't let you ruin the fun!

Ashley : That must be the blue blur himself!

Jacqueline O'Lantern Dupre : And brought some friends on his journey!

Sonic : Hey, I've known you guys before, you were those detectives that took the baddies and even that worm from MMORPG, if you don't mind. You're Ashley, the Ashley?

Ashley : Yeah, and you are?

Sonic : I'm Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog.

Ashley : So, I've come to apprehrend that the video game rival to the plumber has arrived to join the fight, and is also another of the Smash Fighters. Very well, we'll be useful if we stick together and defeat this monstrosity!

[Egg Emperor by Jun Senoue Plays]

Sonic : Ready for another round in that robot you're controlling!

Kimial Diehl : Time to give up your wicked ways!

Ashley : I'm putting a stop to this once and for all!

Eggman : Is that so? Hmph! Enough of this! Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Detectives! Time to meet your maker!

Jacqueline O'Lantern Dupre : Let's do this!

Eggman : I'll show you what real evil is!

Ashley : So, you're lucky that we're able to fight a decoy inside that mech!

Sonic: Of course!

Ashley : Guess we sure know how to stop this mad genius! There's gotta be some kind of fire power that needs to be taken down! (The robot's fire missiles) Missiles incoming!

Tails : Let me try to deflect them! (Thundershoots Sonic and Knucles to deflect the missiles) Lucky for me that Fly-types are the only things that can take a machine down! Quick he's heading for the center!

Jacqueline O'Lantern Dupre : We'll use the power of team blast to finish him off!

"Meanwhile..."

Maka Albarn : It's so quiet over here. Nothing much that Makoto decided to help me out.

[Event : Sonic vs Shadow - Fumie Kumatani]

Spartoi Maka : Well, well, well. I'd never actually admit it that you would be sent in by the Mobian Death God, Grim. Congratulations on making it this far. I wouldn't believe that you the real one who was falsely accused of one's actions against humanity.

Maka Albarn : Right! Which is why I am needed for the real world to have a true hero like me. Born on the Planet Jupiter, I was saved by someone that I even truly met as a kid. The boy who was part human, and part Phantom, Makoto Asagiri!

Spartoi Maka : And he is the one that saved your life? That could be possibly true! I understand that this was all part of your plan to avenge the inhabitants of Earth who were attacked by Inky Albarn, the demon queen that plans on conquering the Real World. Now that I have your attention, of being so surreal, how would you even on saving your life, fates can be real challenging! So who are you, the girl who wanted to save humanity from the faces of True evil?

Maka Albarn : The girl who is going to kick their butts! I'm the one and only Maka Albarn, there is! And you will never change that fact! Time to give the Real World my courage! And I do adventures for fun!

Spartoi Maka: Wow, aren't you the girl that knows adventures that much? I see then, (the two starts sprinting) If you're really that clever for a hero that was mistaken by the likes of that imposter, I suggest that we should settle this! But in terms of this battle, the fates of your world will be their in hands, or your adventuring days are coming to an end!

Maka Albarn : Right back at ya, android! I will the avenge the people of Earth and my family as well! (scene cuts pitch black)

Maka & Makoto : (voices heard) Let the fated battle begins.
