Less of a question but I was never an avid manga reader till 2019 and mha was the first manga I kept track of weekly, and I read Tokyo ghoul after it ended, and seeing everyone be dissatisfied with how Tokyo ghoul ended after keeping up weekly is something I’m reminded of after seeing the latest chapter of mha. So this is what it feels like to witness 6 years of a character you hold in high regard be undermined(to put it lightly). I’m rather sad, but I can’t help but feel fondness for shigaraki even if the way he ended wasn’t satisfying, how do u feel about how mha has gone?

Yeah it does feel very reminiscent of Tokyo Ghoul in that they just went "ah yes, killing the right people is actually how we solve world issues." Which I find morally reprehensible, but also genuinely bad writing because the story as a whole doesn't support this message.

@linkspooky explained in her meta yesterday why Deku has completely failed as a character, and why the manga has failed thematically as a story. I'm just gonna say I completely agree with Link.

To be fair, I'm not sure Shigaraki is dead dead, but either way, it's bad writing and it doesn't conclude his arc with any sort of satisfactory element. Like, why would Shigaraki see Deku as different than anyone else who tried to punch him? That's nonsensical and written from the POV of an audience, not from Shigaraki's POV. It's like in Star Wars when Rey calls herself "Rey Skywalker" when she knew Luke for 3 days and none of the people she was actually close to (Leia, Han, Ben) were Skywalkers. That's writing for the audience, with their perspective, ignoring the logic of your story. It defies believability because the character does not have that perspective. It's "forced" because the audience can see the hand of the author.

If Shigaraki is dead dead... Not gonna Star Wars this one again, but since I also hated the ending of The Rise of Skywalker, I must make a comparison. The idea that Deku may have saved Shigaraki's heart but couldn't save his body (which to be honest, nothing in the actual chapter supports, but if he stays dead might be the argument) is still bad writing. Why? Because to Shigaraki didn't even make the decision himself. He didn't sacrifice anything. How can his heart be saved if he had nothing to do with it? Saving an object is easy as pie. Saving a person is different, and that's what the whole story has been about. Like, in TROS, Kylo Ren gave his life for Rey! Was it stupid? Yes! But at least his "saved heart" did something. Shigaraki's saved heart did what exactly?

So then, is the message that Deku failed? Then why isn't it framed as a failure? Why was BNHA never set up to be a grimdark tragedy? If he failed, then shouldn't he have a miserable ending? Unless it's "heroes always become bad guys and life is unfair," but then shouldn't Deku be framed critically?

Basically, Horikoshi can't come back writing-wise from this in BNHA, and it's sad to see.

Horikoshi's biggest flaw throughout the entire story was that he kept flip-flopping on what he wanted to say, and made the characters more about his trying to please every single fan than about being, well, characters to explore important questions he has that are worthwhile. And you can do this while still having a "cool" factor!

Instead the characters tell us one thing while cocooning Deku in the sweet bliss that no one ever has on this earth--being 100% right all the time. And it's sad, because BNHA had so much potential as a story to challenge its audience and entertain too.

I thought even if it flopped in some aspects it'd at least get this right. It's disappointing.

Anyways every day that goes by I want to send Isayama and his editors flowers for actually writing a thematically coherent ending, even if some aspects were dropped or messy along the way.

[yamatologistt]

im like, what, 10 years late to the whole walking dead game thing but i was way too young back then to understand the game. i hope people still enjoy it, its a really good game (and sad) but im only up to season 3 right now (i only really liked s1 and s2) but im not finished so i cant really make decisions rn

i just want to talk about ben rn and evaluate him cause im rewatching it and now that hes my favourite i notice more things about him now. (i literally look at him everytime hes in frame even if its just showing the back of his head oml)

but anyway i see a lot of ben hate and sure i get it but i dont at the same time ben is so silly how can u hate him

- to start, when we first met ben in the woods, he’d already been through some stuff, like he saw his classmate off herself and turn into a walker, his camp got raided and he was left with 1 friend and his teacher (who both still die btw) so most of what he had left before the apocalypse was gone

- when lee is rationing out the food, if he gives ben food first, kenny comes and tells lee that there’s kids that need food too, and ben literally is like ‘sorry i didnt want any trouble’ like cmon, and he’s literally a kid too he deserves the food as much as anyone else

- on the train he is interested in the controls and being up there, so we can see that he generally enjoyed it. but once lee gets the engine going, kenny comes and ben immediately has to go babysit katjaa clem and duck (he is also visibly upset) AND THEN later on lee asks how ben was doing and he says ‘im watching the girls and not working on a mega cool train’ (let him on the train immediately 😠😠)

- ok, so maybe he did sneak supplies to the bandits and i think this is just me being biased but i feel like him giving the supplies held off the bandits a little. i mean think about it, they moved on from the st john’s farm and started taking from the motel, right? im not sure how the bandits asked ben (if they made it clear then i forgot) but if he refused wouldnt the bandits come attack even earlier? i mean they needed the supplies right, and if ben didnt give them anything to begin with they would have raided the motel anyway. i mean they knew where they were even before the st john incident. idk its just a thought

- i think it was cool how ben managed to confess to lee that he was the one who slipped the bandits supplies. like you can tell ben is a good guy cause the guilt was almost literally eating him from the inside. and even though ben isnt one of the bravest people, he still confessed knowing that lee’s reaction wouldnt be pretty. (also his stance when leaning on the train railing was so silly to me)

- after they meet christa and omid, ben tells lee that his biggest fear was to be eaten by the walkers. i mean he literally said that if he got bitten he would off himself 😢😢

- also ben was always referred to as a child but he was never treated like one, everyone excpected him to be brave and strong but in reality he was just some scrawny highschool student who was scared and couldnt live up to his impossible standards. man, i really just wanna give ben a big hug

- if you tell ben to “kill anything that gets in” he responds with “you know you’re talking to me, right?” poor ben

- even though his biggest fear is getting eaten by walkers, you still have the option to leave him behind, and let him go at the bell tower. i mean how could u do this to him hes already gone through enough

- lastly, the part where ben tells off kenny is literally iconic, that scene singlehandedly made ben one of my favourite characters of all time, i was like everyone else, i didnt care about ben because i thought he was a bad guy since i never really payed attention to him. but i swear when he was telling kenny off it felt like i was being told off too. i mean his point was valid too, kenny had his family to say goodbye to, and ben (and literally everyone else) never got to see their family, (or they saw them as walkers, lee and clem,, :( )

- i know the last point was meant to be the last one but cmon its ben i could type this for ages longer but yeah. he had the literal best character development in the game. at first he was some stupid kid who was always messing up and before he died he was an amazing character who deserved literally everything. omg i cried so hard when he died cause when he fell i was like, oh i think its ok the fall wasnt too far and he said he only hurt his leg, but bro once we saw what really happened my heart sank bro it was so sad i really hoped nothing bad happened to him ☹️☹️ but i think kenny did the right thing cause like we said, his worst fear was the walkers getting to him. gosh i feel like i watched his death for the first time ages ago and i still cant stop thinking about him man

anyways, i would literally do anything to give ben a massive hug, he did his best and he was literally so funny too :((

(thanks if u read this far btw, i just wanted to rant about this man i love him so much and i will defend him with my life) 😠‼️

I just saw your latest animation on youtube and I'm just blown away,, what animation tips do u have to make it look so smooth !?!?!@><I(7&*^&*76$567

Thankyou very much, that means a lot :D!

for animation tips i, personally, use 24 fps (though everyone has their preferences :3) this is because you can choose your speed, its like having a selection box

you can do something called animating on ones where you make a new drawing every single frame, this is good for super fast movements, or for super smoothness :D! 2’s are my go to, its a new drawing every 2 frames, so it’s like animating on 12 fps! The reason i dont just animate on 12 fps is that i like to be able to switch between speeds and smoothness (i also animate on 3’s, 4’s, 5’s ect)

Ontop of this, when a character is coming to a stop, add some extra frames at the end for smoothness. when a person stops moving they don’t abruptly stand still but will cary on moving slightly, easing into their stopping motion (this speed will obviously vary depending how quick the person stops moving etc)

if you want a visual example, move your hand upwards at an average speed, you’ll see it goes up but slightly comes back down to a stop! If you do it quickly it kinda looks bouncy right? You can do this with all sorts of objects for learning too, like fabric.

I also like to do something called anticipation, where a character will do a secondary movement before their primary one! Basically, say you threw an orange at wall or something (go with it), your secondary movement would be reeling your arm back before your primary movement where you throw it at the wall! This gives a sense of power and authenticity to the throw, otherwise the character looks super strong like really like “make bad guys cry just by looking at them” sorta strong… maybe not that strong.

At the end, i like to redraw my last frame, just so that continued movement doesn’t look too rigid :D

The best way you can learn is to look at how things move and how they look when doing certain things; people, objects, animals everything :D art and animation are more than just drawings or cool stories and visuals, its also the understanding of the world around you and its so worth it learning animation because you can see the world in a whole new light, its pretty awesome :D!

other more generalised tips that im going off on a tangent here cause its my fixation is that if you’re doing a big animation project storyboard it ppLLEAAAaseee, i never used to and id run out of ideas for scenes and lose enthusiasm and it was like AAAAAAAA. For personal projects or behind the scenes that only i need to be able to understand or decipher ill story board onto my sketchbook rather than doing a polished storyboard cause its quicker and only you really need to understand it :D

any other questions feel free to ask! Specifics or general questions, thanks for asking :D!

[kafus]

Ohoho its kinda strange but what is your favourite thing in your room?? Idk why but I always ask this question to people lol

no this question is awesome but i’m INCREDIBLY torn between a few different things so i’m gonna share like 3 things 😭 for the purpose of making this interesting i will not include plushies since i have a lot of those in here and that’s too easy of an answer

first off is this kaf/u keychain - technically it’s attached to my purse (my purse is also kaf themed btw lol) but i don’t leave my house that often and it’s usually in my room so i think it counts. it was a birthday present from someone extremely important to me - he made the art for it and had it custom printed and cut and everything! the kafu is specifically drawn to look like how i draw her (you can tell by the robot hands) and overall i am just extremely sentimental about this gift, it’s one of my favorite things i’ve ever received from anyone ever and has more meaning behind it than appears on the surface

following on the gift trend, my sibling got me this custom figurine YEARS ago - it’s handmade and it’s of an old pokesona of mine back when i was a more active pokemon furry. i don’t even use this guy as a sona anymore but it’s from my sibling and it was so thoughtful and it’s honestly just such a cool piece of art, like the style is super cool and it’s obviously unique to one of my characters and i just think that’s awesome

and lastly, right now it’s Still sitting in the envelope to keep it safe because i Still haven’t gotten a frame for it, but i have kaf’s signature in sharpie on this letter here - back when she graduated high school there was a whole virtual concert and celebration and you could pay a little extra on merch to get this signed by kaf (it’s a letter talking about graduating and thanking her fans and whatnot) and i just feel incredibly blessed to have been there for that and own this, i’m very sentimental about kaf in 2022

dd wit cat traits are so cool but you guys are limiting yourself. need me some weird fucked up bird dds . also bat solvers is so cool FLESHY WINGS KICK ASS but what if solver wings were. well for one what if they had weird pinfeathers like they were constantly molting BUT. getting offtrack but i think solver drones are exploited by the solvers to physically suit the host's strengths and weaknesses . dont know enough about nori & yeva yet to deduce whay theyd be like but. uzi shares most of the dd traits, wings, tail, and considering maid v. presumably the claws. i think the solver would look at doll & how she behaves and go Nah that wont cut it. instead of bat wings i think she would get fucked up bug wings. sort of like beetle wings, but with thick plating to work as defense because as shown in promening she knows jack shit about actual physical combat instead resorting on her powers. going by my hc that wd have three-fingered secondary arms & nori and yeva planned to have uzi and dolls frames built to like. best deal with the solver. i think doll would originally have had like. fully developed secondary arms (for more complex glyphs) before her parents DIED and she had to start updating her frame herself (aka stealing the parts of drones she killed Yay) IM GETTING OFF TRACK THO uzi is like a weird bat bird beast while doll is a fucked up beetle roach thing. i dont think dolls. Solver Form would have a tail solely because. im a sucker for short-tailed beasts representing "docked" parts better suited for fighting. OH MY GOD hold on ok im getting so offtrack but guys doll is so cool . her kill count is almost certainly not even remotely close to v's but theres something so wild to me about "the desire for revenge against my parents' murderer is so strong that along the way i became something similar to her." like you know. solver drone. oil. Killing. duh doyyy GUYS its all connected im such a genius. i like to depict doll as visually very similar to v (round & square shapes, similar bodytypes n shit) just cause imagine looking in the mirror one day and realizing youve become the thing you sought to kill. hell you even have the same bangs. also dolls whole No one can help me ... I can do this myself ... shit is SOOO funny to me . i love seeing a character getting introduced as a highly powerful entity and then IMMEDIATELY EATING SHIT (promening <3) like. ok. i remeber i planned 2 write a fic about this like a week ago and never did but the idea is still in my mind i think doll would. try n teach herself to fight or some shit. Sasha waybright reference i think cheerleadinf would transition very smoothly into physical combat. speaking of cheerleading what do u think doll was like before You Knwo. was she for real just lizzys bitch? funny to think about actually. filled herself with somuch rage and such a potent desire for revenge that she burnt out and froze herself over OKAY THIS MAKES NO SENSE THIS TURNED INTO ME TALKING ABOUT DOLL GOODBYE I LOVE HER ALOT.

[firebuug]

no, you're right about pokemon and pixels. there was COLOR and LIFE and FUN in the pixellated pokemon games. the kind that makes you play them over and over and over. recent pokemon games leave me burnt out before i even reach the first gym.

where are the lovingly animated trainer intros for gym leaders. where are the Pokemon doing adorable little three-frame animations when they get sent out. where.

...this is probably weird to just send but pokemon makes me passionate and i must say YES TO EVERYTHING in that post about pokemon. its so sad what happened. which makes two of us yelling at the storm cloud that once produced so many rainbows.

it is not weird dw but U GET IT!!!!

to be fair to newer gens the gym leaders have fun personality in the ways they throw their pokeballs , are introduced, and use their gen’s gimmick, but tbh. id sacrifice that if it meant the pokemon had more life than a soggy asparagus

even w pixels tho u can STILL have personality and 3d animations for npcs. old pixel pokemon games still used 3d in some cutscenes it CAN be done

also i FEEL u w getting burnt out. i could spens hours and days hooked on the old games but now i can barely finish scarlet. sure the new stuff is so cool and i love the characters n the love put into a tragically crunched game and the Sandwich Mechanics but tbh the only newer games ive been able to finish are X/Y and swsh. i couldnt even finish sumo 😭 altho i guess u can attribute that to just growing up and losing interest but i still love pokemon and gladly go back to replay my old b/w and diamond games, im planning on replaying pmd and ranger soon too :3 i have not touched swsh sjnce i finished it and am honestly even looking for someone to buy it off me bc i just did not connect w it at All😭

also dont even get me started on the travesty of that silly lil professor guy in scarvio being converted from the art to the 3d model. that was baffling. they made everyone else look great but my man with the funny glasses got FUUUUCKED

Any favourite info-dumps? <:O/genq

I love all of them! But here I'll share a few that really stood out to me! -The Julia one I mentioned before!: "I just….. I am love her. I was SO happy when she was introduced. Her first episode is my comfort media. Autistic representation where it isn’t framed as a bad thing is SO rare in children’s media, and “she does things a little bit differently, in a Julia sort of way” made me CRY. She is so much like me and she makes me so happy. The happy flaps when I saw her on the Sesame Street float at the Macy’s parade nearly hurt my wrist I was so happy. She is the best girl and deserves the best. Her puppet was designed to have a set of arms specifically so that she can stim, and she has a comfort toy like I do and doesn’t like the way paint feels like I don’t and loves to sing like I do and gets overwhelmed by sirens like I do and I just love her SO MUCH. (I didn’t link a picture because there are so many good ones! I like the one where she is looking at a feather, and also the one from the cover of the picture book she initially appeared in <3)" -Audrey II: "want to preface: either the stage version or the '86 movie version works, as both are portrayed by puppets! although neither is canonically a puppet in the story. i couldn't tell from the rules if this was disqualifying or not. BUT if i could get a word in for the movie Audrey II: WHAT A GORGEOUS PUPPET… or should i say SERIES of PUPPET/ANIMATRONIC HYBRIDS! there's somewhere in the ballpark of a dozen Twoies in the film to represent the different growth stages of the plant. they're all beautifully painted with vibrant detail, perfectly matching the high camp tone & setting! the mechanics of the puppet are also intricate and innovative; especially the MOUTH those lip syncs are so accurate and expressive! the largest puppets were actually so heavy that in order to remain accurate to the audio, they had to be operated along to the tracks and filmed at half speed, then sped up in editing… which means that when the actors appear with the plant in those scenes, they're ALSO performing at half speed! the stage play versions are (by necessity) less technical than these puppets, which were fabricated by the Jim Henson company btw, but lots are still really cool; a unique standout is the one from the Pasadena Playhouse production! whew. all this and i didnt even talk about the character… Audrey II is an alien plant that was beamed down to Earth and wants to take over the world. it sings some catchy songs about that. they can fit so much queercoding and slay into this plant. it's a girlboss it's a drag queen it manipulated a young man into committing several murders. we stan." -Spamton: "Hee heehee I am so obsessed with this silly puppet guy. I love how he went from an absolute snazzy lil salesman dude with his red tux, and just gradually turned into a complete disaster of himself. I like how little detail is actually shared about his past, so you're left to wonder if he was actually brought down by circumstances out of his control, or if he brought his failures upon himself and just doesn't want to accept that. I want to give him a hug and he would no doubt try to bargain for my soul in the process"

-Riley Ruckus: "SHES SO GENDER OH MY GOD SHES THIS COOL EVIL SCIENTIST WHO WAS MADE TO BE LIKE. A KIND BUT SLIGHTLY AGGRESSIVE SCIENCE TEACHER FOR A KIDS SHOW, BUT AFTER COMING TO LIFE HAD THAT TWISTED INTO MAD SCIENCE, AND SHE CARES SO MUCH ABOUT HER DOGGO AND SHES SO PRECIOUS AND WOULD ALSO RIP U APART AND IS SO VERY GENDER"

And honestly so many others! I love all the infodumps! From the long passionate paragraphs to the more silly jokey ones They're all so much fun to read!

[castle-dominion]

castle 7x1 driven

the finding castle episode liveblog

previously yeah yeah I watched the last ep a week ago it's fine

Oh no he dead

Esposito helping becks up the hill <3

what was that little skip there in ryan's run?

uh Tell Him why

mum noticed the red tail light stuff.

Oh no pieces.

Dragged him away

Love rysposito half fancy. Reminds me of 4x1 look

See? turned on remotely! Things u can do! But castle's never could be, after that debacle w/ bracken & beckett? no way.

Fruit stands my beloved.

See? how WOULD you remember that? unless it went TWICE!

Love how they have those windbreakers.

"Not far the way I’m going to drive."

Why is my man running away if he's a normal guy?

AFTER THAT THERE'S NINE MORE!?!?

Looks like it is the same day still. Beckett changed at the wedding but she is wearing the same clothes now at the precinct & rysposito have changed too now

esposito looks so Happy!

(nice pic they are using for castle lol)

JE: So you can do what to him? (off her look) I was watching. Getting booted of the force is not going to help anything.

It's just like s4 finale/s5 premier

conveiniently lousy

Gates my beloved <3 (but she should be booted off the case) Oh wait nvm. unless you give me cause to.

sus fbi moments

friends & family & also just regular employees

In the event hhh

connors is right that IS sus.

it MIGHT have smth to do w her.

It's like that sammy keyes final book!

communication!!!

Alexis looks so unwell jhfsjksdlfj

MR: Your father will be home before you know it.

Me: How long is the show's hiatus?

Who's bringing the coffee? Becks it's obv not going to be castle

Esposito. He really loves her.

(someone had to bring her coffee. idk if I'll liveblog the audio commentary)

*knowing bracken himself is not behind this, esp not this early on*

3xk, mickey barbozza was the most recent one,,,

Esposito's scar is so Something

*knowing it isn't exactly castle's dad*

Vinny the scar!

Yeah he accused him of murder!

"What can I do to help?"

I love vinny

"this I did not know"

love the grey area love vinny love this stuff. Wait is it vinny or vinnie?

Already in the morning?

Panini <3

"that does not happen" I love the scar

*is castle* (that's not how it works)

JE: getting mad

Love ryan & esposito taking two different angles

Ryan give her a hug

that's true! we already have this stuff w 3xk!

girl he took voice lessons to sound like esposito he could surely take body movement lessons

(btw love the outfits & ig lighting too & all this stuff & the acting is good too.)

Martha sus.

Makes sense to me. Run off the road by an suv of COURSE I'd pay to have it crushed! it made me mad!

Exceot he asked for it to be crushed before!! it ran him off.

Martha sounds happy he's alive while becks sounds mad he's lying

it's authentic. & terrific?

{Why was CASTLE the one to pay for the car to get crushed tho?}

yeah why WASN'T castle under duress?

walking away from bekett would also mean walking away from alexis, that would NOT happen?

Vinnie turned over the money to help his friend Castle!

Mum guessed it was her wedding gift, like for castle's bday the 100th episode.

Call castle's dad

Love the handwriting & the montage scene.

WHERE HER MOM'S MURDER BOARD WAS HHH

Shawn Wash. Love how it's the same two paragraphs repeated over & over lol. Good set design. Well idk but fun set design.

SHE'S CALLING ALL THE WAY TO FRANCE! does she speak french fluently? or just some?

the chair!

noooo closing the shutters!

*little boat*

reminds me of that book where the mom was mentally ill so they couldn't ask for help when they were trapped in the boat.

"this is the USA coast guard, please move."

'this is the canadian lighthouse, that's not gonna happen'

What if you are knocked out & CAN'T ANSWER that u need help?

it wasn't the MIDDLE of the atlantic ocean babes!

THREE BULLET HOLES???

Like peter at the tomb

worst part is SHE didn't do anything to get him back, it just took time & a bullet shot boat

alexis <3

my man has a sunburn

going to be in a coma or smth. Girl chill it's ok. Don't expect him to wake up..

not treat him but... LOOK at him... soOOOO GOOD

yucky coffee.

esposito asking the hard questions. We need a devil's advocate!

ryan's pants look odd with that jackett or at least in this lighting

*beckett right behind them*

take a drink every time u hear the word dinghiy

Yay coast guard captain

my man is so smart.

Was she on the screen call with him at the hospital?

"henry jenkins" or so he's called

a month ago?

lmao look at those rods.

blue blue blue eyes omG

stole his clothes lol

key SEWN into his pants?

so he WAS shot!

a few WEEKS ago???

the other guy said nobody was home.

love the use of the word negative instead of just no.

*thinks the garbage bags contain castle's body parts before remembering he's in the hospital*

two person tent. Looking at the interior it looks more like a five folk tent. (well five if they sleep in mummy bags & head to toe)

"or some kids hanging around taking it for a joyride"

why wouldn't "they" clean up the tent?

late 30s (early 40s)

*takes esposito with her*

the tux would not be put away that way but I'll take it. Esposito is so mad at castle.

his wedding shoes!

his watch!

he was tracking the news to see if they had been able to find/rescue him yet

martha is so happy!

first thing he did was ask for you!

RC: Just so you know, the doctor said that kissing will speed my recovery.

I could clip

yeah it IS supposed to be a joke. I deal with being in a car collision with humour! We keep having crap to deal with when we are trying to get married, it's just so silly silly!

he's a writer he needs to start at the beginning

I think u can tell he is not faking it

he looks so exaasperated when he says "I was unconscious!"

Right yes. why?

I might ask "has it been a year?" or smth bc I'm Dramatic ( if i was castle)

I'd ask if it was supposed to be a joke. I'd ask for proof.

except if he planned this & called vinnie in the morning, he would have had to plan it & he'd remember things before the wedding accident! (techinically not an accident)

bc I want to go there!

Remember Jeremy?

esposito outfit nice, lighting too hard for me to pic. grey or black or navy with a v dark red tie. some pattern (caused by the weave I think, not actual dye)

ryan taking explanations & facts.

lmao tiny little crime scene box!

she's going to cry skdjflskdjfl I love i hate I love this

did he write it in his coma dream? is it an AU

except castle DID set it up! he was the one who set this up!

RC: Yeah, on the INLAND side!!! Not on the ocean side.

he did camp here tho!

some old guy

Not the same guy bwa bwa BWAAAAA

walk & talk

(ryan outfit <3)

Why the setup to be there? what about the evidence?

JE: Mm hmm castle. THEY faked it sure

Fenkins

Remember Jeremy? I want to see more of him I want to see the updates!

alexis is old enough to drink

I love how he moves his hand counter clockwise for tangled & then clockwise for untangled when he talks with his hands there

you DO lose hope & then you get it back!

staring at it was so sweet!

everyone has chairs by their desks!

Almost shot him? srs becks? ew lol

RC: Well, it’s not the same. I can’t remember. Though I do know I missed you terribly. Because there’s no way I wouldn’t.

(could clip)

this is soooo sweet

[istherewifiinhell]

can i offer u a sampling experience of being sad abt the ninja turtles.

[images descriptions same as alt text]

[ID: Cover of a hardcover copy of The Last Ronin. An older ninja turtle in full black garb and eye mask, is seem from behind looking to the side. On his back prominently shown are a bo staff, katana, and a sai, along with less distinct short cylindrical weapons, chains, and rope. END ID]

direct spoilers ahead. obv.

i mean. I know who it is. cause. internet. but it is cool to read and think about, the writing techniques, the visual language, and how their being used to both obscure and hint. so. if u found this post and dont wanna know. last chance. imma just use his name from here.

[ID: Two panels. 1. Mikey wading through knee high muck facing away. He says "Stay behind if it bothers you that much" and an off panel voice replies "Hey-- where *you* go, *we* go. You *know* that." 2. Close up of Mikey's face, he looks grim and says "Yeah. I know." End ID]

Absolutely delicious. Chewing my arm from the get. What could that mean? Who could be speaking. (-> knows this)

[ID: Mikey seen from the front, hes gesturing with a sai in hand and saying "Doesn't matter. The plan *stays* the same. I just need to get from *here*..." Behind him are the less detailed shapes of 3 other turtles, without extra clothing and armament, but with the same black eye masks. END ID]

YOU KNOW??? Ambiguity in story telling and also. Playing in that. Every time u have a new iteration, there can be new rules....

[ID: Mikey in a cautious crouch, arms ready in front of him. Off panel a voice says "How, tough guy? Grab a cab? That's a long-ass *hump*, and a mutant packed head to toe with weapons don't exactly *blend* in." A second voice says, "He's right-- we're *inside* the walls now. Security will be off the charts." Mikey replies "Tell me something a little more obvious. 'Sides, you know the drill..." END ID]

Character voice writing....... im so. Do u have a long standing relationship with these characters, we're gonna use that familiarity. To hurt u.

[ID: The three indistinct turtles with Mikey again, the tallest of which says "Good luck with that." Mikey, who faces away from them says "Luck's got *nothing to do with it. *Do*..." END ID]

(^first time seeing them and speaking at the same time)

[ID: Mikey seen from a low angle, framed with purple light, looking down. He says "What the hell?". Voice 1 says, "Is that... A *human* inside that armor?" Voice 2, "Looks like some kind of cyborg, I think. More synthetic than human." Voice 3, "A synthetic ninja? A stinkin' *synja!* What kind of sick freak *does* that to someone?" END ID]

[Has to take a moment] :')... u know.... my boys. my sweet boys... Anyway. This is one like. Oh yeah I know who everyone is, but if u didn't, there's kinda a fun trap in like. Who do you *think* makes the most puns. Tho safe to say Donnie gives himself away the most.

[ID: Mikey running, sunset city scape behind him, the weapons on his back clearly visible again. One voice says "Smooth moves." and another "Classic-- You *still* can't fly ten feet in a straight line." Mikey with his teeth grit says "Whatever. Shut up." END ID]

Could. Literally any force on earth stop ur brothers from chirping you after u crash a flying techno car. No <3.

[ID: Two panels. 1. Mikey, snarling as he looks at something over his shoulder. His narration boxes read "And now, after decades of murder and death... I've had *enough*." A voice says "Think you just ran outta *miracles*, bro..." 2. A bustling techno city area, with a place for flying cars to park. There are many armed figures around. A red narration box with its text in quotations reads "We've been in tough spots before, but that's practically *impossible*." END ID]

Long standing character trait of Mikey's good luck/belief in positive thinking subversion... also. You know classic comic book with their yellow narration boxes. Well, it didn't photograph so much but Mikey's are, subtly but def, more orange. So. HMMMM

[ID: A shot of Mikey from behind, kneeling in a place filled with pipes and lit a harsh red. Hes taken off most of his extra clothes, but kept the black mask. In front of him on the ground his and his brothers weapons are laid horizontally, and over them vertically, are each of their colourful eye masks. His narration boxes read "I miss my *brothers*. So much." End ID]

[Laying dead on the floor] someone get the sad 'you can't replace a brother' quote.... inconsolable.

Not pictured... by the way, and this gets a little. word. explicit violence and suicide attempt.... hes bleeding out after failing this, you know, last ditch suicide mission, and he takes out his sentimental belongings. (his dads journal too, also not pictured). and... is gonna run himself thru with leos now shattered katana. DESPITE. The protestations of one of the voices. who. he tells to shut up... like. okay. okay.

and just to keep a more casual talk with. spoiler outta the tags where id usually put it: its like. me and bro (who got me this!) both like. well. yeah ofc. last ronin is mikey. everyone knows this. ive seen posts. ask other brother. "is it... Leo?". no. book thats meant to hurt u. michelangelo WAS. a party dude.... now heres the saddest shit you ever did see.

in general. loving this. my fav activity of. like seeing a stories foreshadowing and well. i already know some things/doesnt even seem like they dont WANT u to put those pieces together. just. its interesting for the. I'm already really interested in how each adaption characterizes the turtles. and this is like. okay now put those skills to work. AND, the like. whose he talking to -> oh its his brothers -> are they actually there -> doesnt seem like it -> are they literal ghosts or metaphorical ghosts. which one, another fav topic of mine. two, even if im pretty sure they aren't literal ghosts, i still dont technically know, and THREE. my first turtle media (2018 show) DOES have literal ghosts in it. SO!!!

theres a little more after this in this. issue/volume that i did read,but did not get pics, but like yet more spoiler, he doesn't die in the first issue! lol. and theres some friendly faces, and a very wistfully unconscious guy dreams of a better time scene. (that also uses unmasked turtles to obscure the who's who of it all). I will probably revisit them. but the last page does have the name reveal and a "who are u talking to" like. can u image live reading that. id lose my mind. I knew all that and I still lost my mind.

I cannot BELIEVE i have work when theres being sad abt the ninja turtles i could be doing

[chuuyrr]

hiii hehe i saw that ur requests are still open so i had this idea hehehehe if u remember that episode/chapter where it was emma’s bday and takehina followed her and mikey, could u maybe write that but instead of emma and mikey it’s teenager!fushiguro and megumi or yuji or even yuta? and toman could follow them while being scared bc y/n and mikey are dating? i really hope this makes sense bc it was funny in my head HAHSHE have a good day/night and i really hope this isn’t a bother

toman thinks scarlet witch! fushiguro! reader is seeing someone else

jujutsu kaisen x reader x tokyo revengers

masterlist of the series

warning(s): possible anime/manga spoilers for jujutsu kaisen and tokyo revengers

omg that episode/chapter had me dying lmao 😭and now it is toman's turn to imitate takehina. please i'm already laughing as i'm writing this request HSJEKSJS anyway, thank you for requesting dear anon! have fun reading <3

the founding members of toman including chifuyu, takemichi, nahoya and souya, with the exception of mikey, were on their way to the temple when they stopped by a convenience store beforehand to buy some snacks and ice cold beverages for the meeting because it happened to be a humid day. they weren't even wearing the jackets of their gang uniforms and were already gulping down the drinks they bought for themselves.

"why the fuck is it so hot today?" baji complained before taking big gulps of pepsi.

"i have no idea. let's just hurry up." draken let out a sharp exhale of breath as he used one of the flyers from the convenience store as a fan. not even the air conditioner in the store was enough to cool them down from the heat outside.

"oi, don't eat up all the snacks! we haven't gotten to the temple yet." mitsuya scolded pah, who was already opening a third bag of the snacks they had just bought.

"can't we stay here a bit longer?" takemichi inquired with a small pout, drinking a can of iced coffee along with chifuyu.

chifuyu shook his head, sighing. "we still need to attend the meeting though."

"we should go. mikey's probably waiting for us already." nahoya interjected, causing all of the toman members to groan but reluctantly comply.

everyone took their drinks and snacks with them and got up from their seats to exit the convenience store when takemichi, all of a sudden, let out a surprised scream, which instantly alerted the rest and made them jump back from the glass door.

"oi! what the hell are you screaming for?!" an agitated pah angrily scowled at the poor blue-eyed blonde boy.

baji was now holding takemichi by the throat as a nerve irked on his temple from annoyance. "you scared us! don't scream like that!'

as takemichi blubbered out words none of them could make out, souya had decided to speak for him upon seeing who was right outside the convenience store.

"isn't that [name]? mikey's girlfriend?"

chifuyu furrowed his brows along with the other members. "[name]-san?"

right outside, they spotted you dressed in casual attire, literally hugging a tall boy with black disheveled hair and dark blue eyes. the way you embraced him, with you rubbing your cheek against his chest and arms wrapping tightly around his torso—it didn't take long for the entirety of toman to scream in a panic, reacting the same way takemichi had acted.

after getting scolded and apologizing to the convenience store staff for screaming their lungs off, everyone continued to watch as the unfamiliar man returned your embrace with a much bigger one before ruffling your hair affectionately, prompting you to smile at him rather fondly.

the boy who was definitely taller than mikey might be cute and handsome looking and all, especially with the way his hair framed his face, which they all agreed on, but you had mikey.

"how can this be?" chifuyu was in a state of shock. his mouth was in agape, and his pupils had all shrunk.

nahoya quipped, snapping his fingers. "maybe it's [name]'s brother?"

"[name]'s only brother is megumi, and that guy looks nothing like megumi." draken swallowed thickly, shaking his head at smiley. "nor [name]'s yuuji-nii."

"there must be a misunderstanding. [name] wouldn't cheat on mikey. [name] loves mikey." mitsuya exclaimed in an attempt to lighten the rising tension in the atmosphere.

"then, explain why the hell is [name] being so lovey-dovey with that guy?" pah raised a brow.

"i don't know! maybe, they're just friends?" mitsuya sweatdropped, raising his hands in the air defensively.

"nah, i call bullsh!t. that is it, we're going to follow [name] and that guy!" baji exclaimed, which the toman members agreed on, except for draken and especially mitsuya, who refused to believe that was really the case.

they had no choice but to follow the guys and eventually forget about the gang meeting.

once you and the boy left and walked away from the front of the convenience store, they had finally exited, but not until mitsuya and draken had to apologize again for their screaming and brash actions earlier. all of them trailed after you two and skillfully hid behind posts, advertisement signs, and alleyways, which definitely earned them odd and strange stares from people who passed by them.

as the two of you walked, you suddenly took hold of his arm and linked yours around his, which baji and chifuyu immediately reacted to by snapping a picture using their phones, and almost panicked with the rest because they both had their flashes on.

"you idiots! are you trying to get us all caught?!" draken scolded the first division captain and vice-captain.

"we're trying to get evidences!" baji argued, showing the pictures he snapped and pulling chifuyu to his side.

mitsuya's eye twitched at the two, "with the flash on?"

fortunately, you were too busy with your new lover to notice their antics from behind, or even sense their presence at all. everyone gasped when you held onto his arm and closed the distance between the two of you. it made toman want to scream so badly. in fact, baji and chifuyu were so ready to square you up at this point, but they happened to learn something interesting as they caught wind of your conversation with him.

"how's miguel-san and the other sorcerers in africa?" you inquired.

"same old, he's still strict about my training, which is why it's nice to be back here. i haven't seen you in a long while nor gojo-sensei and the others." at that point, everyone's heads went static. everything became an error.

"holy crap, he's sorcerer—a jujutsu sorcerer." takemichi pointed out the obvious.

"and they've been seeing each other for a while now too." souya said in addition.

"[name]'s dad knows him? oh, crap." baji's eyes went wide as he pieced together the information. "is that why he refused to let [name] be with mikey?"

"this is bad! this is bad!" takemichi was already panicking so badly, he was already coming up with an exaggerated scenario of mikey fighting the guy with you, who they now know is a jujutsu sorcerer, inside his head.

"oi! oi! they're getting away!" pah got everyone's attention. "quick!"

toman continued to follow you two until you entered a cafe, which draken recognized as the cafe you and mikey would eat at. the thought of you taking someone else here for a date made him so disappointed in you. before chatting, the two of you ordered some iced coffee and sweets. everything seemed to be going just fine until they saw the brunette take a small, black box from his pocket and open it for you, causing you to stare in awe with a smile. everyone's mouths dropped to the floor.

"HE'S PROPOSING TO [NAME]! EVERYONE MOVE! MOVE!" takemichi panicked, holding the side of his head before pointing an index finger at you and him from outside.

at that instant, toman burst inside the cafe, which scared the other customers dining inside. the hinges of the cafe doors almost broke from their immense strength. they stomped towards you, holding an angry and betrayed look. you stared at each and everyone with wide eyes, along with your company.

you asked, now holding a confused look. "guys? what are you doing here?"

"um, y-you know these guys?" everyone glared daggers at the guy you were with. their lethal gaze caused him to yelp and hold a look of fright.

"HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO MIKEY-KUN, [NAME]?!"

with that, takemichi burst into tears as he outraged, which deeply confused you. in fact, all of their reactions confuse you.

"how could you bring him to the café where you and mikey would date? furthermore, let this guy propose to you while you're with mikey." draken's face faltered into a frown.

"what are you guys talking ab—as they continued to cause a commotion inside the café, another presence entered in the same manner they had stormed in. everyone, including you and your company, turned their heads to see toman's one and only infamous, invincible mikey, sauntering towards all of you.

toman screamed in a panic, especially takemichi who was crying his lungs out at this point, was absolutely petrified at the expression looming over his face.

"this is it, everything is done for." takemichi sobbed, shaking his head repeatedly as he clasped his hands together to pray. "our future is done for!"

everyone gulped as mikey began, "you.."

as everyone prepared for the fight of the century between a gang leader and a jujutsu sorcerer, mikey turned his attention towards toman instead of you and your company, and snapped.

"why the hell are you guys here? i've been waiting for hours. mucho and sanzu are the only division captains that showed up at the temple!" mikey yelled.

"ha? why are you shouting at us? we were following [name]!" baji retorted back.

mikey's tone dropped into a much calmer tone as he raised a brow. "why are you guys following [name]?"

"have you gone dumb or something? [name]'s cheating on you with that guy!" baji pointed an accusing finger at you and your company.

"ha? what are you guys talking about? yuta is one of [name]'s older brother figures."

just like that, the tables turned. it was toman who had gone dumb as they muttered a "mikey knows yuta?" in unison. there was suddenly a pin drop silence in the atmosphere afterwards, and then came awkwardness.

"...then, why is he holding a box out to [name]-san?" chifuyu blinked profusely.

"eh? this? it's my birthday gift and souvinir to [name]" yuta, the handsome man they now know, turned to toman and showed him the bracelet he had been meaning to give you.

"birthday? oh crap." baji's eyes widened as he and everyone else remembered the exact date today.

"the reason i was holding a meeting early was so [name] could spend time with her older brother, who had just come back from africa." mikey explained briefly, dark eyes slightly narrowing at the thought of them assuming such a thing about you.

"did you guys seriously think yuta-nii and i were together?" with that, you brought the palm of your hand to your face.

takemichi, chifuyu, baji, souya, nahoya, pah, draken and mitsuya nervously laughed as they avoided your now glowing red eyes.

"happy birthday, [name]..."

the next turn of events that followed suit ended up with you and everyone getting kicked out of the café for the commotion, toman endlessly uttering apologies to you and yuta, on their knees, as you and mikey held a look of disappointment together at them.

what a way to celebrate your birthday.

[moonsoupstar-ao3]

Chapter 3

THE OPENING IS JUST AS GOOD AS ALWAY, I FORGOT TO SAID IT

UVERworld never disappoints fr

I stopped to read the festival's poster and there is a band with a very similar name (U-Ver word) there lmao, I think all the names are reference 'cus also there's another "TWO OK ROCK" and one of my favorite japanese rock bands' name is "ONE OK ROCK" (pls listen their songs if you like j-rock, they are amazing, my favorite is "nobody's home" but all are so, so good I promise)

I love how they hid the year on the anime but is hellish obvious the third one is not a 2 lmao

ALSO THE ACADEMY IS ALMOST TWO YEARS TO CELEBRATE ITS 100th festival!

Rin faces are the best x2

Rin: "they're all so cool"

Sorry I love my boy, he's so cat coded but his golden retriever's energy is shining too brightly to realized it sometimes

(guys I didn't told you but I was watching it with Spanish subtitles, y'know cus that's my first language, but too much trouble try to made an accurate blind translation from Spanish to English, so yeah, I'mma start watching with eng subs to save my brain at 2am)

Ahhh, that Takara and Shura scene also reminded me of that user who theorized that Takara is Shura's and Mephisto's son or something like that, and I definitely bought that he's a nephylim but there's no way that he is Shura's son

(I went to checked how to spell nephylim and discovered that aoex has a FUCKING VIDEO GAME, I BEG YOUR PARDON???????????)

I love Rin being such a Suguro's fan

"You're so cool! I wish I was you!"

Also poor Bon, he got attacked by girl's tears, one of the deadliest weapons in this world /sadge

SHIEMI GOT TO SCHOOL YEAH

SO CUTE, THEY ARE ALL SO CUTE

I'M A PROUD PARENT GUYS SORRY

I can't wait for Yukio's, Rin's and Shiemi's dance :(

YIKES I HEARD HIS HEART BROKE

Man I love that none of the Okumura's tried to ruin each other's opportunities with Shiemi, they're both like "(well, fuck that hurt but okay) good luck with him, have fun Shiemi <3!" AND HOW THEY THINK SHE'S INTO THE OTHER SJVDNDDN

God, I swear they are one of the best siblings relationships in the whole fiction world

ALSO RIN REALIZING HE WAS CORRECT WORRYING ABOUT YUKIO

YEAH BIG BRO IS ON ATTACK MODE NOW, LIL GREMLIN YOU CAN'T HIDE ANYMORE

Also love that Shiemi is slowly picking more in social cues, like yeah she didn't got that Rin wanted to ask her to go with him in the festival, but she did notice that both (Yukio and Rin) have something (bad) going on

YUKIO BLUSHING, YEAH BOY GO ENJOY YOUR YOUTH, YOU FULLY DESERVES IT

He suck at hiding it from Shura though

I went frame per frame to saw Shura's undercovering Mephisto and was totally worth it, the fact that most watchers won't see the whole sequence is hurting my heart

Love Mephisto being a gossip btw

POOR RIN AJVDJDNDBKD

Ah, Paku my girl, you so clever

Sometimes I still forgot they're all around 15-16yo during most of the story even though that's one of the things that made everything ten times worst (in the best sense) for me

AHHHHHH, I just realized we didn't get to saw Godaiin asking for Rin's help

But we did get Rin asking Izumo for help :D!!!

“It's gotta be a woman I can trust!”

MY RINZUMO BESTIES AGENDA IS BEING FEED SO WELL GUYS

(and I'm sure shippers too with that scene, we won guys, slightly different battle but we did it!)

No Rin, you didn't do anything wrong :((((

IT'S DANCE TIME IT'S DANCE TIME IT'S DANCE TIME

AHHHHHH RIN AND SHIEMI SCENE IS SO CUTE

I'm stimming so hard during this, my arm hurts sjvdjdjd

HAHHHHHHHH THEY ARE SO FUCKING CUTE

CUTE AGGRESSION IS SO REAL

“Yukio... Please dance with us!”

I CAN'T I CAN'T I CAN'T I LOVE THEM SO SO MUCH AAAAAAAAAAA

Awww Shima asking Bon to dance with him was so cute too :(

God, I loved the dance scene so much, I wished it lasted long

Now back to the angst jajan't (I can't believe I'm not happy to see my babies hurting wtf is wrong with me

Gotta rewatch the dance scene cus I deserve it

RIN WENT FULL SHIRO'S INFLUENCE DURING THE "Dummy. You don't have to tell me." PART

I started watching aoex season 3

So I decided to share my thoughts as I see the chapters (NOT SPOILER FREE)

Chapter 1:

not a full fan of the new art style but not a hater either

can't forgive them for taking away my troll clown though

also the voice, dunno, maybe I'm remembering the voice wrong in past seasons but yeah, not for me (especially when he says "eins, zwei, drei" I just feel like is the wrong tone)

also, I love the pace of the chapter but am really bitter that they cut the bestism (Angel & Lightning) first show time together so short

THE GEHENNA SCENE WAS SOOOOOO, loved the light hint to trigger response from Rin

uhhhhh what else....

THE SHAPESHIFTER BATTLE

so, so good, when Rin, Izumo, and Shima attacked and the camera was moving I didn't know where to look at

I'MMA FIGHT WITH MY BARE HANDS ANYONE WHO DARES SAYS MY BOY RIN ISN'T SMART AFTER THIS SEASON

alright then, time for chapter 2 :D

[rinkrats]

🥺 that mike lange story. But also those tags #sid loooves christmas #he loves giving presents #looks good in red #piles on the pounds fast #post hockey career as santa 😂😂👌🏽👌🏽

he loves his mementos and presents and is COMMITTED to them. scrapbooking. matching jackets. little pills with hidden motivational messages~*~ his love language is gifts and neck smooches and stalking geno. relevant right now are some anecdotes i sent a friend earlier this year for dorky sid gifts fic fodder:

1. Crosby's constant thoughtfulness would be impressive from anyone, much less someone of his stature.

"Sid always texts me happy birthday, he's always asking me like, how's Russia?" Evgeni Malkin said. "We talk and message all summer. He asks me how my skates are. He knows, like, everything. He follows my Instagram, I think (laughs)."

In addition to having a handle on those little details, Crosby is constantly providing those around him with memories and mementos. If the team is on the road and goes, say, sightseeing or to a sporting event and takes a group photo, Crosby will later send a framed copy to everyone.

When Ron Hextall and Brian Burke watched their first Penguins game in person, Crosby is the one who approached head equipment manager Dana Heinze and asked for two used game pucks to give to the new GM and president of hockey ops. 

After the Penguins won in 2009, Crosby had jackets made for the three players on the team who had scored a Cup-clinching goal in Game 7: Talbot (Pittsburgh), Ruslan Fedotenko (Tampa Bay) and Mike Rupp (New Jersey).

"They were blue jackets with gold buttons, and each one had a patch on it that said 'GWG Game 7,'" Talbot said. "At one of our first team meals the next season, he presented us with the jackets and did a big ceremony with the music and stuff. We had a private room in the restaurant. I still have the jacket."

-The Consummate Teammate, Captain and Ambassador, Feb 2021

2. Merz: My first interaction with Sid was when we were on the bench, guys were talking about a teammate, and the first thing this 15-year-old says is, “Hey, guys. Let’s keep everything positive. Don’t talk about your teammates that way.”

Salcido: When we were getting ready for nationals, he found these little pills that you could put a hidden message inside. They unscrewed, and inside was a tiny scroll. He gave one to every teammate. … He had everyone fill one out. He didn’t tell anyone what to write, but he made it known that we all knew what the goal was: winning nationals. So we wrote on our scrolls, rolled them up and put them in the pill thing. We kept them with us everywhere we went.

3. On “Butterfly Boy” Jonathan Pitre:

Though the Senators are his team, Sidney Crosby has always been Jonny’s favourite player. After the TSN documentary airs, Tina gets a call from the Penguins. Sid needs Jonny’s measurements. He wants to have a suit made for him by his personal tailor, Domenico Vacca.

“It’s the kindest, sweetest gesture,” Tina says. “Sid heard that Jonny went to a lot of games, so he wants him to look like he’s one of the guys.”

“I want him to feel like a pro,” Crosby says. “Here’s a guy who is going through something so painful, and his first thought is always, ‘How can I help others?’ When I was young, I’d watch on TV the players coming to the rink in their suits. That was a cool part of being an NHL player. I want him to feel that, to make it as real as possible for him.”

Tina tries to discreetly measure Jonny while she’s changing his dressings. But he’s way too smart for that.

“Um, Mom, why are you measuring me? Am I going for surgery again?” he asks.

“No, no!” Tina replies, trying to reassure him and come up with a good lie, all in the same breath. “The doctor needs them just to make sure they have proper dressings next time you are in.”

A few weeks later, the sharp navy blue suit shows up at their front door, along with a couple of ties, an autographed stick and a handwritten letter from Sid. 

“His eyes just light up,” Tina says. “Jonny always liked to be well-dressed, and he just loves having his own suit. It fits perfectly. He looks so good in it.”

4. Pascal Dupuis inspired his Pittsburgh Penguins teammates on their run to the Stanley Cup, and Sidney Crosby found a special way of driving that message home.

Dupuis retired in December with lingering health concerns because of blood clots. Despite his NHL playing days coming to an end, the veteran forward remained an integral part of the Penguins and was in uniform to hoist the Cup after Pittsburgh's six-game win against the San Jose Sharks in the Stanley Cup Final.

On Sunday, Dupuis brought the Cup home one last time as a player to share a special day with his family, friends and hometown fans.

"Yes, it does feel bittersweet a little bit," Dupuis said. "You get the Cup, you want to celebrate. But at the same time I got a gift by the mail [Saturday]. Basically, it's a book of all the pictures of all the good stuff we went through. It came from Nova Scotia, so you guys can figure out who it came from (Crosby), but he couldn't give it to me during the season, he saw me skating a little bit.

"And he sent it [Saturday], before my day with the Cup, so he knew what he was doing to get me right here," Dupuis said, putting his fist over his heart.

5. In 2011, Crosby was out of the lineup with a concussion, and the Penguins made their annual visit to Children’s Hospital.

Crosby got along so well with one boy there and was so touched that he later asked Bullano to go back... just the two of them, no cameras, no attention.

When Bullano and Crosby met for the follow-up visit, Crosby appeared clutching a pair of Toys “R” Us bags, filled with a Transformer toy the two had discussed.

“He literally bought every type of this toy they make,” Bullano said. “[Crosby] had never seen it before and thought it was so cool.

“There are no pictures of this. There’s no video. He was laying in the bed with the kid. They were just playing. We were there for over two hours. I got to know the mom really well because we were just sitting there.

“The kid had no idea. Didn’t expect it. They had no idea he was coming. We got there and he said, ‘Hey buddy. hope you don’t mind that I came back.’ The kid couldn’t believe it.

“[Crosby’s] crazy cool about stuff like that.”

What’s crazy is trying to recount the many times stuff like this has happened with Crosby:

• The Little Penguins Learn to Play program has been around for nine seasons, outfitting now 1,200 kids with free head-to-toe hockey equipment. Not only does Crosby serve as the face of the program — which the NHL has now adopted — but he helps fund it, too.

“There’s an awareness of what a person in his position can bring,” Penguins vice president of communications Tom McMillan said. “I think he activates that as much as anybody I��ve seen during his playing career.”

• After a recent practice, Crosby noticed a local family in the Penguins dressing room, approached them, introduced himself, learned their story and wound up giving them a signed stick.

Nobody asked Crosby to do that, and he wanted zero credit when discussing it a couple days later.

“For people who have the opportunity to come in here, people dealing with certain things, if you can brighten their day a bit or spend some time with them, it’s something that’s special for all of us,” Crosby said.

• A few years ago, through a team charity event, Crosby befriended a 4-year-old Amish boy with cancer. Crosby remarked to Bullano how much he loved talking to the boy because of how engaging the boy was and how he wasn’t consumed with technology. Crosby even tried to visit the boy but learned he had passed away.

• He learns the first and last names of the kids who attend his hockey school in Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia.

“Two kids came from Japan its first year,” Bullano recalled. “He was so blown away by that. He couldn’t wait to meet them.”

• Earlier this season, the Penguins welcomed Grant Chupinka, 24-year-old cancer patient, into the dressing room. Crosby chatted up Grant and his parents, Steve and Kim.

He spent his usual time — about two or three times the requirement. Gave the tour. Then found out the Chupinkas didn’t have tickets for that night’s game and decided he would pay for them to go.

“I’m sure he could just give them an autographed puck or something, but he takes his time to go out and see them and talk to them and get to know them,” Brian Dumoulin said. “It speaks volumes for him and who he is as a person.”

Spend any length of time with Crosby during his visits with those less fortunate, and a few things become obvious.

One, Crosby is really good at these. Smooth but not in a slimy way. Sweet. You know how when you’re around someone talking and they go out of their way to make eye contact with everyone around? That’s Crosby.

He’s also humble, always introducing himself like those he’s meeting don’t already know. Holding a hand is no issue. And Crosby is the rare 20-something pro athlete without kids who acts every bit like he does.

“It is not an easy situation to talk to someone with terminal cancer,” McMillan said. “A lot of people couldn’t do that. He has an amazing ability to do that and make that person feel good.”

Crosby has welcomed several Make-a-Wish kids and tries, if at all possible, to schedule such events for practice days — to maximize the time he’s able to spend.

He’s developed a special friendship with Patrick McIlvain, a soldier who nearly died when he took a bullet to the head in Afghanistan. McIlvain actually does physical therapy with one of Crosby’s sticks.

A former club hockey player at Cal U, McIlvain comes by every year, and the Penguins don’t even bother to tell Crosby. Either he already knows or immediately stops what he’s doing to come say hello.

“He’s not doing it to leave a legacy,” said Terry Kalna, Penguins vice president of sales and broadcasting. “His numbers leave the legacy. He’s just a down-to-Earth, good guy.”

Before a visit, Crosby has Bullano email him what is essentially a scouting report on who he’s going to meet. He likes to learn about them, their situation and what they’ve been through. As much information as he can ingest. Crosby never just swoops in, shake a hand and leave.

“As much as anyone has ever seen, he accepts the responsibilities of being not just a professional athlete but a star professional athlete,” McMillan said. “He views it as part of the job. Like coming to the morning skate. That’s just what you do.”

Put another way, “he owns those moments,” says Kalna.

Said Bullano, “He’s just a good human being.”

6. When Crosby received a generous signing bonus on his Reebok deal, he wanted to share it with everyone.

“He gave everyone on the bus gifts,”  says Oceanic radio commentator Michel Germain. “Him sharing his bonus with all the people he’d been travelling with for two years, that impresses me greatly. I think the most important thing about Sidney Crosby is his personality and the kind of human being he is. What he exuded. The inner richness he’d already developed.” 

-Superstitious and generous, Dec 2006

7. also this simply because it makes me ;w;

Even in defeat — no, especially in defeat — Sidney Crosby proved why he wears the "C" for the Penguins.

After the game, with his heart sinking and his season over, the Penguins’ captain bent over, sank to the ice to pick up the puck, took it to linesman Tony Sericolo and then skated to his team’s handshake line.

I immediately thought of a View from Ice Level I’d written on Crosby making sure a retiring official was sent away from PPG Paints Arena properly. I knew picking up the puck wasn’t for the same reason that was, but I also knew, in some way, it was connected to Crosby’s awareness and respect of the game.

“It was for the Islanders,” Crosby told me after the game, his eyes swollen from a first round exit – by way of a sweep to make it worse. He told me how the winning team always wanted the puck, and it was his way of providing it for the Islanders.

Crosby looked me right in the eye as he told me this, just as he did with every other member of the media to come to him after the loss.

I could tell from those swollen eyes and the way he sat at his stall, by himself with his hands folded as he stared blankly, that Sidney Crosby is much more used to being on the receiving end of a puck when a series ends than he is at retrieving it for the winning team.

That scene. His swollen eyes. Staying in the locker room until most had left – talking to anyone who needed him. Most of all, though, picking up the puck that prompted my question in the first place and making sure the right people got their piece of their own history.

It all adds up to one thing: In victory and in defeat, Crosby respects the game above all else – just as he’s always done.

[weirdmarioenemies]

Name: Nabbit

Debut: New Super Mario Bros. U

Nabbit! You all know him, you love him, you asked for him! By which I mean we got an Ask asking to cover Nabbit, and I had previously no intention of doing so but it made me think, hey, I WOULD like to talk about Nabbit! Thanks @oddity-txt! 

Nabbit! Like. Nab it. Cause he’s a rab-a thief, he’s a rabbit thief you get it yeah. This guy is a real piece of work, let me tell you! He steals items from Toad Houses and runs off with them! Those are for Mario! Can you believe not everyone in this economy agrees with hoarding power-ups to give them away to Mario in wacky chance-based minigames? So its up to you to chase him down. And chase him down you do! 

But why does Nabbit want these items? Does he just enjoy the thrill of the chase? Or is he just trying to provide for his family? Can he sell them on the item black market? Why would there be an item black market when you can find this stuff anywhere on the street? Mario doesn’t care. Mario wants to attack the symptom of the problem rather than addressing the systemic cause.  

Still, I feel like we need to have a good talk about what Nabbit is... other than a hooligan, obviously! Earlier I called him a rabbit but taking a look at him, it’s fairly clear he’s wearing some kind of rubbery rabbit suit, with only the black arms and feets sticking out... So of course we need to speculate all the possibilities! Possibility A is that he is a human or some other known character in disguise, which isn’t fun. Next! Possibility B is that he’s an actual rabbit wearing a rabbit-shaped bodysuit, which I quite like because it is absurd. Possibility 3 is none of the above and he is some mystery creature, which I’ll leave up to YOU to imagine because I’m not entirely sure what that would be. 

Point number 2 about Nabbit’s ambiguous identity: the bandanna! It has a similar (but not identical) design to Bowser Jr.’s bandanna, and even though he does not work for Bowser, it just feels like a strangely specific design choice! I can get why Junior wants to look ferocious, but Nabbit is more of the stealthy type right? Because of this I’ve always envisioned Nabbit as having actual fangs under the bandanna, like the Impostor from Amongus, which you can’t disprove because he’s never been seen without it.

Or maybe it’s just fashion. It’s probably just fashionable. 

This isn’t the last we’ll see of Nabbit of course! The developers of New Super Mario Bros. U had precisely three (3) new ideas, and damn if they weren’t gonna milk them for all they’re worth! I could get upset that characters from the New Super series get this treatment when other more beloved characters from spin-offs don’t, but also, come on... look at the guy! I can’t stay mad at him! He’s purple!

So in Nabbit’s next ever appearance, New Super Luigi U... he became playable! Wow, that was quick! With Mario gone, they scrambled around the office for anyone they could find to fill his place, and they settled on Nabbit! They’re not paying Nabbit extra though, so he kind of had to phone it in.

In this game, Nabbit is totally invincible! Why? Maybe he is like Wario and simply does not care enough to get hit. He can’t use power-ups because they didn’t have the budget to design new costumes for him and he can’t pick up items or ride Yoshis. The game frames this as an “easy mode”, but what kind of easy mode forces one player to always use it? Let’s be honest, it’s because they didn’t want to make a brand new character. The Year of Luigi was a tough time for Nintendo! 

So rather then collect power-ups he just puts them in his bag, and they get converted into 1-Ups at the end of the level. Is THIS what he was stealing those items for? Is Nabbit’s ultimate goal to reach immortality through illegally trading 1-Up mushrooms? Maybe something like that probably. It’s kinda fun that he’s a ‘bad guy’ but Luigi and friends don’t really mind keeping him around. 

Nabbit also appears in spin-offs of course. Enough spin-offs that he feels like a proper modern Mario character, but sparsely enough that you think “wow, they put Nabbit in this game?” when they put Nabbit in the game. Here he is in the Rio Olympics, and you could make a very easy joke about him being a thief in Rio de Janeiro, which I won’t. Instead I will ask: why the heck is he carrying his sack in a marathon! Just let go dude! Don’t they have changing room lockers in the Olympics?

Here he is in Golf! As DLC, for all the six people out there who loved Mario Golf World Tour so much they simply had to get new characters for it. This picture labels him as an Eagle but I’m pretty sure he isn’t one, though I might be wrong. 

Here is Nabbit, well known thief, outlaw, and general ne'er-do-well as a doctor! I mean, I know the healthcare system is a scam but this is a little on the nose don’t you think? He just put a pill sticker on his thief sack and called it a day! Can we even be sure there are pills in there? What if he is prescribing patients with stolen Super Acorns from Acorn Plains 5 - Rise of the Piranha Plants? Oh no! 

Nabbit Mario Kart? It is more likely than you think! Of course only in the mobile game with a gacha. They could’ve done it in Mario Kart 8 but they know people will pay good money for Nabbit! Well jokes on them because I got him in the gacha for free. Nyeeh. 

Nabbit is also in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam! Did you know this? I didn’t play Paper Jam, so I didn’t. I’m sorry. You need to catch him in order to get Bros. Attack items. At one later point, you even fight him! Or rather, fight enemies he kept in his bag, while he naps in the background. Is that legal? He can also pop out behind you and steal your hammers to whack you with. Yeouch! 

However, he also fights ALONGSIDE you for some fights against Bowser’s minions, acting basically like a fourth party member, except you can’t control him or anything. He gives the Bros. healing items from his bag or will occasionally bonk an enemy himself. Hooray for morally ambiguous characters! I guess he’s cool with anything as long as he gets what he wants. 

Finally, I would like to talk about Nabbit in Super Smash Bros.! As one of the few original things to NSMBU, he of course appears in the Mushroom Kingdom U, alongside equally iconic characters like Beanstalk and Water Geyser! In this game he’ll grab people and stuff them in his bag, and then proceed to just... fly away, so they are killed. Wait a minute. A thief who kidnaps characters only to kill them and himself...? That sounds familiar! 

I knew it! This wasn’t really Nabbit at all, but rather Tac from Kirby Super Star sneakily disguised as Nabbit! Sakurai thought he could sneak you into this stage to satiate his never-ending lust for Kirby Super Star references in Smash... He wasn’t even content just having you in Smash Run and Smash Tour! 

Well, mystery solved everyone! I think we can go ahead and end this post while we arrest Tac for his crimes of identity theft, and not regular theft, which isn’t really an actual crime after all.
