#we're ignoring canon to celebrate this btw

[mettywiththenotes]

Tomura and Izuku getting TWO volume covers together CAN I GET A HELL YEAH

[toxic-mothers-tourney]

yeah i'm not the first to say it but dr c really shouldn't be on there and most of the info surrounding her is just fanon that ppl ran with and mainly originates from an era of mechs fic that went "oh the reason why this cis white man (w no canon sexuality) from texas has a british accent is bc this asian trans lesbian was abusive towards him and trained him to lose his texas accent like a british colonialist" (real example btw. the real reason he sounds british is bc he's played by a british man and you cant honestly expect him to put on a fake texas accent for entire sets. love and light) and saw nothing wrong w it.

and in regards to the actual propaganda for her:

we don't now canon ages for any of the mechs or dr c but most of them weren't young adults +

"killed them a lot of times in a lot of ways" the mechs kill each other all the time as a running joke. death means nothing to any of them anymore and there's no difference between jonny saying "ok ok ok are you gonna' kill us or not? cause like it's great when we're singing songs but we shot you out- well one of us shot you out of an airlock and i wanna know if you're going- well what you're going to do to us. [unintelligible] killing me?" (the ONLY canon reference to dr c killing the mechs) and tim proudly saying "we killed our lead singer!", something which is a fan favorite line

"they're visibly uncomfortable around her/scared of her" no they aren't? "especially the first two she successfully immortalized" like i said. the only instance of this w jonny was played as a joke. as stated above. as for nastya the only instance of this is at the end of lashings where, after playing the comedic straight man all set, nastya is at the end of her rope with all the other mechs and dr c sneaks up behind her and nastya is annoyed by it. another gag.

we don't have enough information about ivy's backstory for any meaningful conclusions to be drawn regarding it, or the extent to which ivy's brain damage is dr c's fault but it's heavily implied to be unintentional

we have no proof dr c is responsible for the morality switch and it's v likely that it's a leftover of brian's own technology bc dr c canonically used brian's model instead of her own to mechanize him

"being immortal is awful and terrible and i hate it. by the way i'm going to make several dead children who cannot consent to this medical procedure (because they are dead) immortal." THEY WEREN'T DEAD??? THE CLOSEST ONE OF THEM WAS TO DEAD WAS BRIAN AND HE WAS ONLY UNCONSCIOUS??? THEY WERE ALL NEAR-DEAD BUT THAT'S NOT THE SAME THING??? ALSO JONNY AND NASTYA BOTH EXPLICITLY AGREED TO IT??? LIKE JONNY ACTIVELY CELEBRATED IT SHORTLY AFTER HE WAS MECHANIZED AND THERE'S LITERALLY A WHOLE SONG ABOUT DR C OFFERING MECHANIZATION AND AN ESCAPE FROM CYBERIA TO NASTYA AND HER EXPLICITLY SAYING YES????

"Carmella forced her kids to immortality against their wills and used them as lab rats" see above + the lab rats thing comes from literally nowhere. i can't unpack it bc there's nothing to unpack

and based on what's in the notes

dr c and nastya's tutor were different people, she just played the tutor in the song. that's like saying the ts and rose red are the same, or jonny and ulysses.

already mentioned the issues w ivy and brian's mechanization possibly probably not being her fault

they aren't scared of her. full stop.

like i said. the immortality was consensual. how do you know about dr c playing nastya's tutor if you don't also know about the massive part of that song featuring dr c offer mechanization to nastya as long as she says yes (which she does btw)

tl;dr everything said abt dr c is either fake or misleading and it rlly sucks that the most common portrayal of her is from a woobified jonny angst fic which is 99% projection and 1% octokitten and mainly comes from 'i like jonny' > 'jonny doesn't like his mom' > 'i don't like my mom' > 'my mom sucks' > 'jonny's mom must also suck'. completely ignoring the fact that jonny is also both a cannibal and a war criminal and maybe just maybe a liar and a petty bastard and his opinions of people should Never be treated as fact. like he straight up admits to heavily embellishing his backstory to sound more interesting i Promise you him saying he dislikes dr c isn't that deep there's a 99% chance it just means that he found her insistence that her backup band play music that's about her feelings and deep and slow and shit boring and decided to airlock her over it.

this is a really helpful breakdown for me! thank you so much

Hi just curious about these koumi L's you mentioned, all I've seen are W's (pixiv, tri and the ending of 2020 say hi) hate to break it to you but Mimi is practicaly the little sister Matt never had which parallels Koushirou practically being the younger bro Tai never had, prettty sure mimato never even crossed kakudou's mind once during the og, anyway, everyone should continue to ship what they like canon or fanon

HI WORSTIE 😍

Glad you guys are curious about something since reading comprehension runs low on your side of the fandom!!! That Koumi L comment was directed at the shipper making an absolute irrelevant ruckus in the replies of the original post, dragging not just Mimato but every other Mimi ship and some more. It was not directed at the hsip itself. But clearly you failed to understand that, just as all other Koumi shippers fail to understand basic decency and decorum that a fandom needs to maintain in order to follow: "everyone should continue to ship what they like canon or fanon".

Your dear ship's event mod is running around leaving weird comments on other ship week's content, and if you feel like chalking up one incident to benefit of the doubt, then do you wanna talk about this ⬇️

The dates for Mishiro Week (who tf even calls this ship that 🤣) are the exact same dates for Michi Week and then the mod is saying "because we're jealous of other weeks" (- that being a motivation to hold an event and not the fact that you cherish these two characters and their relationship enough to celebrate it is a lil sus in itself🫣 -) clearly implies that they want to one-up another Mimi ship even though Michi Week announced their dates well in advance? You're talking about keeping things peaceful in the fandom, but maybe you should preach that to your own choir first!!!

And it's just your luck that you could've chosen anyone in the Mimato fandom to send your silly rant to but you chose me 🥹🫶🏻 The one person on this hellsite who has done their PhD in Digimon Adventure Tri, certified by Toei Animation themselves lmao 😇

Where do I even begin!!!

Content on a fanwork site Pixiv is considered a Win?? Then all the Mimato/Michi/Jyoumi/Taishiro/Koukari/Koura fanart on all fanworks sites are a Win too? Is that the logic you were going for, awww thank you 🫶🏻

And then let's talk about TRI! The series where Koushiro is checking Mimi out 24x7 like an object, he calls her egotistical/self centered for acting impulsively to save a friend - using the same wording that the mean girls in festival committee use (bully alert 🚨, he doesn't even apologise for doing that btw 🚩), only then shows up to stare at her in a cheerleader uniform, ignores all the concern that she shows for him despite him being rude to her and Meiko both and ends up having way more chemistry with Takeru throughout the series (KouKeru my beloveds 😍).

But it's important to mention the guy who does take a W for Mimi in Tri, JOU KIDO!!! He accepts Mimi for who she is, doesn't criticise her actions, understands that her aggressive love is filled with nothing but pure intentions, uplifts her mood when she needs it the most and showers her words of affirmation that eventually lead to Palmon's mega evolution. And for that he deserves a big squishy hug, which he gets from Mimi 🥰 Honourable mention for taking W's for Mimi in Tri will also go to Meiko, she becomes her ride or die in such a short time of knowing her because she sees Mimi for the kind soul that she is. She also deserves a hug, and she gets it from Mimi too 🥰

In Tri we also see Mimi refer to Taichi and Yamato as handsome (and she does ask Koushiro if he's interested in her cause she's cuter, man for someone with a lot of brains he sure does care only about her looks!🚩) She starts recording TaiYama the minute they get into that Ferris wheel, she and Taichi walk a lot of places together don't they, she and Meiko share a meal with Taichi and Yamato in the Odaiba Onsen must I go on ~ Please do a full rewatch to see how Koushiro proves he's not a good match for Mimi in Tri with his ficklemindedness~

Next up: The Reboot, my other lovechild, I kid you not worstie, me and the Reboot writers share the exact same braincells, like legit, in the entirety of the series run, the most worthwhile Koumi hint they gave was them sitting in a Garage together at the end 🤣 The amount of quality time she spent with Taichi on the other hand, chef's kiss, and the instant bonding with Jou where she could tease him from the minute they met, WOW A BIGGER CHEF'S KISS 😘

THE SIBLING PARALELL -omg where my Taishiro shippers at, will you guys take this slander sitting down? 😭

Listen worstie, Taichi and Yamato do not require sibling parallels because *news flash* THEY HAVE SIBLINGS WITH WHOM THEIR RELATIONSHIPS ARE FLESHED OUT THROUGHOUT THE SERIES LOL. And I also love love LOVE how you didn't hesitate to call Mimi a sibling coded friend for Yamato, especially when 99% of the fandom is telling Mimato shippers that Yamato and Mimi don't interact 🤣 Mimato haters please pick a struggle, are there no Mimato interactions in the series or are there so many interactions that we can safely conclude Mimi is the sister Yamato never had 🥹👉🏻👈🏻 *Takeru has left the chat*

As far as Kakudou's concerned, neither of us are mind readers so why even try and assume which ship crossed his mind and which ship didn't? Did you just add this comment because you thought it'd make you sound all edgy for knowing the staff's name or assuming you understand the thought process that went into making this series? If you did understand the latter, you wouldn't be in my inbox 🫶🏻

So anyway when you're done rewatching the actual series, you can come back to my inbox annnnyyytimeee, maybe even have the courage to be off anon who knows you might learn a thing or two from Taichi 🧡🧡🧡

Stay safe out there, idiocy is very contagious in this fandom 😷

[shellaxdude]

okay, so im trying to work out the timeline of rise and i need a place to log my shit so i can remember my thought process.

a lot of rambling is under the cut btw. i hope its coherent for my own records if nothing else

so. season one theyre said to be m:13, d:14, l:14, r:15, and a:16. april has a birthday episode in season one. according to the air date of "warren and hypno sitting in a tree," this birthday occurred on June 1st, 2019. ignore the actual date if you have a different headcanon for her birthday bc its not actually important, but im using it as a base for her age.

so if april is 16 at the start of season 1, she should be turning 17, right? no. later, in "always be brownies," one of casey's girls calls her old and april responds with "im 16!" so she turned 16 on her birthday. the air date of that episode was may 15, 2020. so she hasn't had her next birthday yet. this means that the show started with her as 15 and there is a period of time in which she is the same age as raph

we cannot 100% follow the air date as the day those events happened in universe, however, because that puts a lot of conflicting episodes happening at the same time. (ex: "mystery meat" & "always be brownies," "the hidden city job" & "sidekick ahoy!" as those 4 all came out on the same day, but the significant characters of those episodes were in both of the two i paired each with. arguments could be made that they both could have happened tho. for example, take the latter pairing i made. leo and donnie had a fight and leo went to hueso's to find an "im sorry i called you a selfish, egg headed weirdo" pizza, and did the heist. after repairing his relationship with donnie, they all go on a jupiter jim marathon, and the events of "sidekick ahoy!" occur. so we're gonna ignore that bc arguments can be made)

all of this to say that in season one april starts at 15 and turns 16. none of the turtles ages are mentioned in the show as far as i can remember. i have heard that they dont celebrate their birthdays (source needed). they dont really know their birthdays so i guess they just up their age on the anniversary of their mutation. (i have headcanons on their birthdays, but thats another post.) april would then turn 17 before the fam takes their trip to the hidden city and all get arrested

and now ive kinda lost the flow for where i was going with this. i will say that, based on air dates again, "the lair games" and "flushed but never forgotten" happened between "the purple game" and "man vs sewer," meaning that piebald got flushed around the episodes "minotaur maze" and "bug busters"

the air dates, especially for season 2 are gonna be kinda inaccurate since they were pushed back because of covid, but it could be interpreted that in universe everyone was quarantined for a bit while there were no episodes.

also im basing their ages off of the air dates purely bc "the lair games" episode is in 2019. it says it on the pop up with ppl's names. then the later year mention at the very beginning of the movie is 2044. so they are locked into the timeline. also? trying to make sense of april's canon age from the beginning of the show and tie it into her mention of how old she is AFTER having a birthday was confusing me without the air dates to help out.

*whispers* okay heres the tea. some big er/uri account got into a fight with a lvhn shipper under that zodiac official art post cuz they said that the latter has more basis than ruri so the big account asked them to pm as to why they think that and they messaged them a thread by our resident god levihantrash covering crumbs from manga to the spinoffs, interviews etc. the big account posted screenshots of those on their main(typical ruri behaviour im sorry ahah) and now they are all like "imagine having to consider unofficial stuff and all just to get crumbs for your hc ship" "hange filthy, why do you romanticize levi bathing them" and all that shit they always they say. Its funny cuz they are currently celebrating their ship being canon bcuz an old artist has a song called midnight sun in their new ep(which has nthng to do with aot btw) describing ruri’s bond apparently and we are ones grasping for crumbs lmfao. i hope this isn’t too controversial haha, that ship is cool and all but the shippers are wack. Thanks for letting me ramble lol<3

no worries about rambling anon!!! you can ramble as much as you want ^_^

i will try to be objective as possible.

I'm all for being a respectful shipper, staying on the ships' respective lanes, and just hyping the ship and the contents it has - doesn't matter if it is canon or fanon.

in my perspective, both sides are in the wrong. there's this sentence saying "shut up" and honestly, we all need to practice that. i'm not really a fan of ship wars, even though i sometimes engaged in one. they're just draining and i don't have enough energy to deal with it continuously. however, there are just many points that I want to debunk here.

first things first, I honestly don't like eruri. i just can't see the romantic side of erwin and levi's relationship but I still respect it. as a levihan shipper though who has hange's guts in her veins, I wouldn't explicitly say to a public platform that "hey levihan has more basis than this ship" but in a more subtle form of "Levihan Canon As Fuck" and if someone replied, I will just ignore and block them. in my opinion, that's more respectful.

In short, the wrong thing that that levihan shipper did was mentioning another ship besides levihan - furthermore, in a negative manner. it will really attract ship wars, whether we like it or not.

As for that eruri who replied, ya know, if someone dmed me about a topic that is so 'controversial in both fandoms - a topic that always incites ship wars such as what ship is really canon or not - it's time for a healthy discussion. however, I know that I'm in no position to talk cuz I'm not even the one who got involved. but the thing is, dm means direct message - both of you can talk in a civil manner, discuss each other's part of the argument in a healthier way without anyone interfering. but it seems like that didn't happen in this case.

why did that eruri post the convo with that levihan shipper? that's so fucked up - especially with that caption lol.

before you proceed, I'm afraid to tell yall that my shipping goggles are on, and being objective was thrown away cuz I'm just pissed by this part.

"imagine having to consider unofficial stuff and all just to get crumbs for your hc ship"

what did you all call all of these then? fanarts? guess we have to thank isayama for being the greatest and biggest levihan fanartist out there then.

and even if both are from spin-offs, they wouldn't be there if isayama wasn't consulted.

and in the anime...

Yeah, we're grasping in plentiful contents :D

"hange filthy, why do you romanticize levi bathing them"

man... why are you turning levi into a balloon then? /hj /lh

anyway, it's the first time I heard about that song and that topic so I don't have much say on it. but if it really doesn't have a connection on aot, then why? I'm genuinely asking why do these shippers relate their ship to something that isn't even related to the canon material? and we're grasping for straws? for crumbs? it... doesn't make sense.

The bottom line tho, be respectful. don't fuel ship wars or engage in ship wars cuz, in all honesty, they're all pathetic af. I'm saying this unironically cuz this post might fuel one and I might get hate on this again lol. but go off, idc.

btw, thank you for the ask anon. ramble as much as you want. i won't mind!!
