Hori gave Mina a half assed "revenge" plot with Midnight's killer that amounted to her giving him a talk no jutsu that failed and then Hori let her defeat the slime villain and melt some of Machia's claws.

Mina's character was treated like a joke because that's exactly what she was.

Yeah mina ashido was robbed of a good character arc and honestly horikoshi fumbled with her.

Look I don't mind her having a revenge plot that can evolve to something more. Heck I don't even mind if her arc starts out incredibly late in the story after she experiences something incredibly challenging but what I do mind is the execution of whatever arc she had.

Cool she is supposed to have a revenge plot because she wants to avenge midnight but the problem is that we barely see midnight having an established mentor and mentee relationship with either momo or mina so all of that falls apart. For it to work you need to give mina meaningful screentime with midnight!!

After that we need to see some of mina's thoughts. After the war arc we can tell that mina has become quite overprotective over her classmates repeatedly saying that she doesn't want to lose anyone else and that everyone is precious to her. This is why we see her being most emotional during the vigilante arc and the UA traitor arc.

Now Iam gonna spin her arc a bit but cool midnight dies, mina is effected by it, she slowly starts to lose sleep over it and slowly starts to plan her revenge. Iida (class president and someone who went through the same thing) actually notices mina and confronts her about it. She after this confrontation doesn't back down and iida obviously expresses worry over what she is planning to do which she says she will try and handle it own because she doesn't wanna lose anyone.

After that conversation it's revealed that yuuga is the UA traitor and this puts some more emotions onto mina heck maybe she even starts to somewhat resent him and blame him for midnight's death. However, as the situation unfolds she slowly starts to realise that revenge wouldn't help her in anyway and that clinging to the people she has left and protecting them is what's best for her.

However, she acknowledges this later onto the battle while trying to get her revenge but instead of choosing to kill the people who killed midnight she notices that kirishima is struggling and helps to protect him instead

That's kind of the thing I think hori was trying to go for (maybe 🤷‍♀️ or maybe not) and this post is Hella rushed so Iam gonna make a wasted potential post on her.

Huh.

So I randomly remembered Croc is pretty much Italian.

[fun-twisted-tales]

I have this headcanon that some of the plants he has are actually the plant animals he saved from being killed after the book

Hence why he’s overprotective and calls them his “sisters”

And yeah, they were definitely neurodivergent together

I think they should have explored that more and how their relationship got effected because I haven’t seen anything about them after this event

Are you still a fan of the Goosebumps Horrortown game? If so, I’d love to hear your thoughts on Dr Brewer’s clone and how he’s portrayed

I like to think that Dr. Brewer as we see him in the game is his clone who fled the events of the book to start a new, unassuming life in Horrortown and now he's just here taking care of his plants, his little guys (who like to chase people around town sometimes but it's okay). I also like to think he is neurodivergent. That was some neurodivergent to neurodivergent communication between Brooke and Dr. Brewer's Clone I tell you. They were literally infodumping to each other about their interests (photography and plants). Brooke absolutely saw that man as a father figure before she accidentally entered the basement and got chased by killer plants. Brooke how do these things keep happening to you.

Have we taken into consideration that perhaps, the reason Merlin does not die, it’s because the Gods don’t want him to? They’ve been playing with him this entire time, and The Cailleach made it clear that even if Merlin wants to die, he can’t, and he cannot change the course of his life. Merlin does not say, “yes” willingly, but rather tests to see if the goddess in front of him knows about his destiny, and her answer proves him right. It’s not because she sees Lancelot going into the veil. It’s because she knows deep down Merlin cannot do anything now. Merlin is more powerful than Gods, and to prevent him to come to this knowledge, they constantly stop him from achieving his destiny.

I love Casey in general but this particular episode he cracks me the hell up (The Lonely Mutation of Baxter Stockman)

I love that he simultaneously is the Unpredictable Out-of-Line Vigilante that's blatantly trying to murder the guy Leo's attempting to talk down and also the one that's like "this is genuinely the weirdest thing anyone's ever done btw" to the insane things that nobody else bat's an eye to. Peak character

(also sorry for shitty editing I'm on a trip rn and don't have the energy but I couldn't get it out of my head LMAO)

MacCready being one of the few companions to not lose affinity if you eat people makes sense when you remember the fungus in Little Lamp Light grew from decomposing bodies. Like the kids weren’t eating people directly but they were eating people adjacent things.

Not to mention how the Lone Wanderer can trick the kids at LLL into buying “strange meat” to eat which is just human so it’s more likely than not they have just straight up ate people so he’s either very desensitized, knows what food desperation can do to people or feels he really has not ground to stand on since he was in the same boat whether he wanted to be or not.

she should've been problematic at the club

Now that the main GSNK ships are finally seeing some progress (Waka knows Seo is Lorelei, Kashima and Hori Kiss, Nozaki realizing his feelings, Ryousuke and Miyako are together, etc), does anyone think Mayu and Mikorin have a shot at being canon??? I mean they’re relationship is absolutely set up in a way that is COULD happen plot wise, and the Manga is fruitier than a Jamba Juice, but they’ve been given so much less attention than the other ships ( that could also be because Mayu isn’t like a member of the main cast tho???) idk my hopes aren’t HIGH per se, but I feel like there’s a non zero chance! Like I’m sitting at a solid 7%

"SHE WAS ONLY IN LIKE 3 EPISODES WHY SHOULD I CARE ABOUT HER?"

BECAUSE I CARE ABOUT HER... MORNING, NOON AND NIGHT!!!!

[bigttsgoodheart]

was it casual when you called me your "god-given solace"???

[hinamie]

call me a prude but in char design i think a fully clothed buttoned-head-2-toe no skin showing Good design is objectively sexier than a lazy shirtless one idc how rippling the abs are

[rooolt]

rattling the bars of my cage, cobra kai’s “too many characters” disease simultaneously invites speculation on a wide variety of possibly interesting character dynamics between characters who don’t frequently interact while also making it impossible for there to be any room or time in the story to even properly handle established character dynamics, let alone explore new ones

One of the things I can't stand just as much, if not MORE than the Ink Demons design in Dark revival, is The fact that with so much buildup and hints to Henry being Audrey's dad, they chose Joey of all people. The comment about Joey knowing her father, the way he said "never quit go-getter spirit" and taking her back TO CHAPTER FUCKING ONE OF INK MACHINE??? THEY LITERALLY COULD HAVE TAKEN HER ANYWHERE ELSE BUT THEY CHOSE THE FIRST CHAPTER, HENRYS DEBUT, AND THEN PROCEEDED TO MAKE JOEY FUCKING DREW HER DAD???

They had ALL the buildup, ALL the lore, AAALLLL the shit was about to fall perfectly into place, and they fumbled it. They FUMBLED IT. I've NEVER seen a fumble so bad. It makes me physically ill to think about it... What a WASTE

[percijester]

how do you think zane would react if someone said the term slay to him.

like i can totally imagine an interaction where sora says something like "haha slay zane" and he just looks back horrified and goes "what why would i slay someone? i would never do that, why ever would you think that of course i wouldnt do anything like that" and sora just looks over at lloyd in complete confusion and he whispers back "ill explain later."
