It’s very humbling when you’re reading a book —part of a trilogy, very acclaimed— and the only thing you can think of is ‘the fanfic I read the other day was better’

my favorite thing about revolutionary girl utena is that finishing it changes you fundamentally as a person and both you and the characters will be haunted by the narrative and its impact forever. my second favorite thing about revolutionary girl utena is that one episode where nanami nearly gets her shit rocked by a renegade boxing kangaroo on school property

My haitani father Shio headcanon is just a bit too funny cuz of how well it works that it sounds like a waste of perfect canon idea and crossover for both of wakui's works.

Aside from the obvious physical features very very obvious, identical eyes, nose, blonde eyebrows, rindou's face form, ran's hair color palette and (arguably) bonten hair style, blah blah i mean just look a the pictures below, you can also bring up any fact from either manga and add it to the hc and it fits in just SO WELL, i'll give the first example, The Haitanis are very obviously rich spoiled kids like have you seen their apartment? They have a fucking dj set, only rich kids with neglective powerful parents will have no problem paying for that, just saying, and even though i love him let's be real Shio is the type to be that parent, i mean cmon he's rich like crazy rich (filthy yakuza money yum yum) he tots would give his children WAY more than enough allowance so they can leave him alone, also the way they act, i've always the Haitanis were the type of kids that think they own the school cuz their dad is rich .

Nvm if this never becomes canon or both universes don't collide, it's just so entertaining to keep connecting the dots that were likely never there, like how Rindou is a heavy drinker cuz his father drank alot with the rest of the Yotsurugis and he tried to imitate him from a young age that it became an unhealthy habit or if you want to add more drama he only drinks cuz he looks up to his father but Shio favors Ran cuz he can posssibly succeed him (canon power complex) so Rindou resorted to drinking cuz it's the only thing like his dad that he can do. Heck yeah i made it angsty!!!

You can also add great context to his fear of Yakuza, picture this, when he was a kid he got up in the middle of night after hearing a loud noise to search for his parents and witnessed Shio (canon Yakuza) pew pew-ing some poeple and surrounded with scary men, that probably scarred him for life that he was so terrified when Kakucho got them interfering with some, OH OH something just came to mind, if he's the son of a yakuza yeah he didn't wanna clash with other yakuza families cuz it can end in a blood shed and risk his and his family's lives.

And i'm gonna add this one not very small detail and i swear i'll shut up (for now), i know it's just a stupid headcanon that is very far from becoming reality and i don't have to take it this deep but hear me out, why their last name is Haitani and not Yotsurugi like their dad, Shio is powerful and have many enemies right ? So he simply decided to protect his children and their identity by giving them another last name likely their mother's (yk like minato with naruto style plan ?) So Haitani is actually their mom's family name. I rest my case. Thank you for coming to my useless ted talk.

I don’t go here but this is what I’ve gathered from my cancelled wife🫡

[silvermun]

What should one do when consumed with love, but is caught betwixt the heart and fealty? Lancelot chose the former, but in doing so, committed an offense most grievous against his King. Sonic's only sin was in being the apple of his subject's eyes, something the latter cannot bring himself to repudiate.

Sonic does not need the sonnets, ballads, nor gestures grand and humble. But who else is there to fill the place beside Sonic but this one whom fate decreed should serve at his right hand, so that all the world could admire this beautiful creature for themselves? Who can convince the heart to depart from its secret sanctuary, where it had only just begun to stretch and grow comfortable?

There can only be one to partake in such a perilous and noble quest. One must be selfish to take this selfless journey—a sacrifice Lancelot was willing to make.

Only love knows how to best express itself—perhaps one can guess in what way. Lancelot need not guess, for he was bewitched, as he was made to believe, with no power to deny the passion which made his mouth go dry when he laid eyes on the fathomless blue-green oceans his beloved stared back with every day, a vast and inscrutable distance separating the two as Lancelot leaned in to ask if his King felt anything different about his most faithful of servants.

Sonic did not back away, not even to flee his most faithful subject in a flash.

But he knew also.

Perhaps this was the reason why he remained.

the ice pop trio is a great example of how goddamn good the cotc writers are at making organic character interractions; there's a ton of characters from various "groups" (some if which you'd never even imagine having any sort of correlation), but they could put any 2 out of those hundreds of kids in a room together and be able to create a genuinely interesting conversation between them without making it forced/awkward

Basic Gif Making Websites

so if you want to make gifs but dont want to spend hours doing them, there's a couple different options you have!

first: you wanna get whatever clips you want gifs of, you can do that with screen recording on obs (which, you can find a tutorial on how to do that here if you need it) or just by downloading the video from somewhere (note: if you want to gif a game and there's no clips on youtube or anything, you can use the screen recording method)

after that you want to cut the clips down, you can do this on an editor like capcut which is free and fairly easy (I have a tutorial for using capcut here which is more for video editing, but does explain the interface if you need it), you can also edit things like colors and sharpness/clarity in the editor if you dont want to do this later

now, there are 3 programs you can use to make the actual gifs, ranging from the worst to best quality imo:

Capcut editor

capcut actually has an export option that makes your clip into a gif, however the resolution only goes to 240p with the free version so it is not the highest quality but it is an option

you simply export your clip and make sure ONLY the gif option is checked in the export menu

EzGif.com

ezgif has been my friend and brother for years, and while it does not create the highest quality ever gifs, it still has a pretty good output considering

the site itself is pretty easy to navigate, you go to video to gif and go from there. you can use their editing tools or simply save the gif after its finished converting, the converting may take a little bit depending on your internet and computer but you can switch tabs while it does this

Photopea.com

photopea is the free photoshop alternative that you can use psd and xcf files with, although it can only be used with internet currently

this, however, is the best free option for making gifs that i've found so far as you have all the same editing options as regular photoshop (as far as i know) and the output is generally going to be the highest quality

you can do extremely basic gifs by simply uploading the video into the program (i recommend using a lower fps option when prompted, i usually do around 10) and then simply exporting as a gif, however you can also edit and use psd's premade by others

i hope these help some of you! if you want some more tutorials and resources i've gathered for editing you can find some here (its not a ton, but its something!)

i am genuinely so obsessed with watching album reviews of preacher's daughter.. like i'm sitting there wanting to ask these reactors: how did it make you feel? did you catch on to the storyline? what did you think of the vocals and the production? was there anything that stood out to you specifically? what aspects of it did you enjoy? what aspects of it did you dislike? how did it make you feel?

Hi hi !!!!,, I asked this to velli as well, but I wanna know what Narrator stereotype you've personally heard the most as well ??? If that's okay :)

I saw velli’s post so I’ll try to give a different answer, and I’m not afraid to say that *I* frequently fall under this stereotype at times. I’d say making the narrator cute innocent and clueless. No offense to anyone who does this of course, I love seeing that stuff! But I would say it seems a little bit OOC. He’s selfish, and at times sadistic. This guy would OBLITERATE Stanley at any moment just for funsies because he know it has no consequences. As much as I draw it, I don’t think he would be completely lovey dovey towards Stanley. Sure they need each other and everything, but people are forgetting to add that tension. The constant back and forth, like a strained marriage. I want nothing more than for them to be cute together and all but it would take a LOT for them to get there. And going along the lines of “they’re in a time loop forever” they might fall in and out of that kind of relationship. I miss seeing more character in the narrator besides “silly little tsundere who doesn’t know what romance is.” I’ve been thinking about tweaking my narrator design to characterize him more as well, but that’s a whole other rant lol. Probably weren’t expecting this from the cute narrator guy huh /silly
