me watching people blatantly ignore the sexism in ghost

i love men in sentai that hide everything from their pasts, conceal whole sides of themselves, and dodge questions <3

i feel like the reason i cannot forgive yamato's father is bc he never really takes accountability. other neglectful parents may at least admit it was their fault and make efforts to be better, but yamato's father just doesn't seem to really acknowledge how much it hurt yamato and never seems to really understand that it was a choice he made. it just doesn't feel like he's sorry.

stats for "holy moly" and "talk about lucky" in kyuranger (main series only)

"holy moly" - tsurugi (mainly)

"holy moly" is said about 81 times from episode 21 to 48. of those times, don armage says it once while tsurugi says it 80 times. shou does say a variation of the phrase, however that is not included in this count. tsurugi says it the most in episodes 24 and 32, in which he says it 8 times in each episode.

"talk about lucky" - lucky (mainly)

"talk about lucky" is said about 172 times from episode 1 to episode 48. of those times, 3 are flashbacks (1 in episode 27 and 2 in episode 43). kotaro says it 2 times, once in episode 45 and again in episode 46. garu says it one time in episode 48. shou says it 1 time in episode 38. aslan says it 2 times in episode 43. a member of jark matter says it 1 time in episode 36. lucky's guardian says it 2 times in episode 36. lucky says it approximately 160 times (excluding flashbacks). others may have said it with lucky at times or separately, however this is just what i have in my notes right now, so be aware that this may not be completely accurate.

note: flashbacks refer to scenes shown originally within the show that are shown as flashbacks. also note that the time in which multiple copies of lucky says "talk about lucky" it is counted as 1.

me when a guy who's flirty is reduced to just a flirt and literally every other piece of his characterization is ignored by viewers

*shaking you*

the swordsmen turning on touma quickly is not abnormal or strange. they have all experienced a betrayal in the past that came out of nowhere from someone they considered a friend and fellow swordsman, a person they knew for years. the experience was traumatizing and people died when it occurred. it's not as simple as they just turn their backs on touma, it's the fact that they've seen that things unknown to them have caused loss in the past. they aren't turning on touma just because, they're turning on him because he gained access to power beyond their imaginations and they're scared something will happen. their fears are only fueled by their recent loss of kento and touma choosing to believe calibur after all he's put the guild through. that's already a betrayal in and of itself, so it makes the possibility of touma fully turning on the guild to be a very real possibility in their eyes, especially when this idea is brought by someone close to logos whose family has been dedicated to the guild for generations. most of them have been with the guild for a long time and consider it their home. it's easier to believe something told to you by someone who has roots in the guild, as opposed to someone you met not that long ago who has no roots.

would never make you endure the psychic damage that a super sentai tier list by me would have on you ❤️

don't let people make you believe no one in gaim likes each other, like jonouchi and oren don't exist, like oren didn't outwardly express liking takatora, like jonouchi and hase weren't an iconic duo, like mai wasn't ride or die with kouta, like kouta didn't forgive mitchy after he tried to kill him, like zack and peko weren't wholly devoted to kaito, like kaito didn't protect kouta time and time again, or like, as soon as they actually talked, takatora wasn't ready to risk it all on kouta. there's even more, but the reality is there is so much care in gaim between people. just because people fight and aren't on great terms at times doesn't mean the care isn't there.

[t-u-i-t-c]

i really feel like kouta's loss of taste/appetite has such an impact. i know that multiple other riders have lost taste/the ability to eat, but for kouta it feels so heavy to me. it's just one thing after another after another. he's harbored so much grief that it's eating him alive but he has to remain hopeful and act on his hopes for the future for the sake of the survival of others. but he's still so young. he's only 20 and he's never experienced the world and he doesn't really know what it means to be an adult fully, and yet he sits in a cafe in an evacuated city mulling over a bowl of food he can't even bear to eat. the only thing he can rely on to keep him from becoming malnourished is the lockseeds.

he's slowly losing his humanity and his connections to the people around him and the world he grew up in. becoming a god only makes it all the more heart-wrenching as he's given power beyond the imagination but also heavy responsibilities. he's not the person he thought he'd be. he's not working a normal job and helping out his sister. he's not going to his friends' dance competitions. he's not hanging out with his friends and eating parfait. he's not human and it's so isolating and scary.

a scene that i often think about is in the drive x gaim crossover, where kouta immediately wants to return to helheim planet without seeing any of his friends, and it's not because he does not care for them but it's just hard. it's hard to know that you'll outlive them and you'll always have to say goodbye and one day there will be a last goodbye. even though mai is there to support him, kouta's feelings still manifest and eat at him as he accepts his reality. it's all just tragic.
