back on my Lupin shitposting again

wow lupin and jigen are hella gay

why is jigen going to the same school as lupin in japan? Isn't he American? if fuji and goemon appear I'm gonna lose my shit

the part one instrumentation is neat

me on ep 2: this shit is boring (ends up turning it off)

i thought lupin I would be a top tier gent apparently not in his old age and my heart is crushed and my dreams are shattered. A world where lupin II isn't as bad as his father is a sad world indeed

even though this show has lupin II in it he is still a mystery to me

the background art is the best visually (the animation is kind of ass at the end, I noticed in particular though it could've been like that I guess)

jigen has a leather jacket?? ❤️❤️❤️❤️ (even if it's just his reg jacket the lighting is still 💋)

I predicted that yoko was gonna die by an unintended bullet but this works too (what happened was low-key hella dark)

I was holding out for a zeni tease and the most I got was a kind of look alike

TL;DR: canon-wise, this backstory kinda doesn't make sense so not sure if it's supposed to be canon but it was okay for what it was, which was lupin and jigen getting to know each other, doing shenanigans, and growing into their future selves pretty quickly. 4/10 for my disinterest in the beginning which picked up a bit after watching the third episode. Now I wanna watch the part 1 eng dub.

Bonus:

no one:

lupin: *declares himself the next thief of kin and steals jigen's heart*

Me: SO GAY OMG

Love when in One Piece someone will be freaking out and Luffy is in the background just standing like this

really enjoying every time saint says the most insanely romantic things and then the camera cuts to the Live Classmate Reaction

PCG: I WAS JUST SITTING HERE WONDERING WHAT I COULD HAVE DONE WRONG THIS TIME PCG: TO MAKE THE TIMELINE TAKE A WRONG TURN […] PCG: I THINK LOOKING BACK PCG: I KNOW WHAT IT IS NOW. […] PCG: […] I THINK THE FINAL FROG MUST BE IMPORTANT. […] PCG: BILIOUS SLICK NEEDED THE GENES OF THAT FROG, AND BECAUSE I HALF ASSED THIS SO BAD EVERYONE IS GOING TO DIE.

Could've been worse. Losing it was part of the Alpha Timeline, so you'd have been screwed if you did find it, too. Ain't Paradox Space fun?

PCG: SEE, I WAS THINKING PCG: ABOUT JACK, AND HOW HE CAN'T STAND FROGS. PCG: AND I THINK I FINALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON. PCG: I THINK I KNOW WHAT'S ABOUT TO HAPPEN AT THE END OF OUR TIMELINES. PCG: I THINK I KNOW WHAT THE CRITICAL MOMENT IS.

You do? I’m not following your train of thought at all, to be honest. It looks like the Scratch is imminent, Jack still doesn’t have his bloody arm, and the only person around is a girl he can't harm...

...as well as a colony of frogs.

A colony of frogs which is about to include one very important frog.

One very important frog, that every Dersite explicitly hates.

Jack is going to kill Bilious Slick.

they have added only one creator because the new dynamic for korean members is really different– its going to be treated w/ attention because it's the first time a creator that has a totally different alphabet joins the qsmp!

During the mouse balloon puzzle, Noelle doesn't acknowledge Ralsei at all when assigning everyone roles. No one comments on this and Ralsei and Susie just opt to take turns jumping on the switch.

Oh btw, when Bad stepped away for a bit and the ex-admins were talking to chat they were answering some questions for us!

When asked about fav headcanons, Ryan said that Sunny owns a clothing store!

Ama said that both Chayanne and Lullah hatched into crows that follow Philza around in other universes. Apparently, Ama also has a longer fav headcanon, but it was too long to share.

Ama also said she saw someone draw the death siblings as slightly red and blue tinted crows, and that she thought it was cute!

rewatching the potc series and the reasoning for the plot of the third movie within the canon makes no sense after the second's ending.

Dead Man's Chest: We all miss Jack? Are we willing to die for him? Then let's go get him back! *cheesy YEAH* *Obvious nod to next film's title card*

At World's End: We need him for a legendary piece of the puzzle. And to stop the Dutchman. And nothing else. *No mention of wanting him back just for sentimental reasons besides a long time no see and some we totally missed you's*

This one’s for the girlies /gender neutral (me included) who want Pili on lifesteal 🙏🏼

Pangi: [Reading chat] ‘Can we get Pili as a VIP on lifesteal?’ Pili, would you ever join Lifesteal for a day?

Pili: Uhhh, I feel like I’d be scared of what Derapchu would do.

Pangi: [Laughs] Y’know what, good point.

Pili: I don’t know if I wanna be on that server with that freak. But if he’s banned for the day, then yes. I’d love to.

Pangi: Huh!

Beautiful beautiful yuri

it took me a minute (read: several days) to pin down why i liked this comment in the epilogue so much, but i have it now.

the whole book has given us a lot of xie lian's journey to understanding how much he's loved, and shown us his struggle with that, as well as his realization of how much he loves hua cheng in return. but what we barely get glimpses of is the monumental realization hua cheng was having, that xie lian loves him.

because, pre-canon, the last he'd seen of xie lian was when he was going around as white no-face, threatening to disperse wu ming just for calling him the wrong name. and hua cheng loved that xie lian, and dying for him was his greatest honor, but im sure he was under no illusions that xie lian cared for him in return.

and even after he'd gained eight hundred years of confidence, become the mischievous flirt we meet as san lang, its clear that he's so desperately afraid of coming on too strong. i was red-stringing like crazy trying to figure out why he didn't tell xie lian he was wu ming after the cave of ten thousand gods, but in retrospect I think it was that simple: not wanting to overwhelm him, not wanting to ask for too much.

and we see this cracking at the very end, with his genuine surprise that xie lian would be just as upset over hau cheng jumping into the lava as he was over xie lian falling.

but the transition from the barely dawning realization of "i would be your stepping stone, but i know you wouldn't want that" to the trust and confidence of him having become a spoilt-rotten bully because he knows that xie lian will give him what he asks for, that he actually *loves* to give hua cheng whatever he wants?

i love that for him, i love that for them, and it makes for a wonderful ending.
