Ohmy god.’zkc

[laryna6]

Do you still want to talk about ZKC? If so, what are your headcanons, please. About any character (mainly sakaki or minamoto but you can really just talk bout any character) also, what is ur opinion on sakaki x minamoto.

I'd love to! Headcanons on those two... I came up with Sakaki getting kicked out of his home when he (brought government attention down on them by) unknowlingly turned in the Major.

I have a 'verse in my head where Sakaki and Minamoto got engaged when they were in college and Minamoto absolutely has the option open to him of being just a house/trophy husband, but he wanted to help espers with better/safer limiter technology so he still ended up working for BABEL.

[Magi rewatch] Episode 4: The People of the Plains [Part 1]

Alrite, let's get it over with. And, yeah, you can proobably tell that I'm not that excited about this arc, and, honestly, both the Kouga Arc and the Morgiana Arc are just... well, I don't really care about them. Don't get me wrong, they're both good arcs, Morgiana Arc especially, but they just. Well, they don't do it for me. Again, nothing to do with quality, just preference.

Another downside is that I slightly shot myself in the foot with that rewatch, because it kinda drags, ngl. But at the same time, I'm looking forward to rewatching the Magnostadt Arc, so imma be strong and not skip anything. "Do it for her" meme, except it's me and Kukulcan. Imma do it for my lovely snek and I remember that he had silly faces in the anime. At least I hope I remember well. But, eh, I like rewatching the Magnostadt Arc in general, so I'm losing nothing, and I can still make fun of the art quality which kinda scores a downgrade idk.

Alright, alright, I'm shutting up, let's get to the actual episode.

Sadge.

Love the low bg quality, but anyway, my girl Elizabeth is here :>

Ok, so, something that makes it pretty darn different - here it's said Alibaba's stayed in Qishan for three days, while in the manga Alibaba stays for three days... and then 3 weeks, I believe. That's a pretty big difference.

They look kinda funny here.

Ok, I kinda ended up checking Morgiana's VA, bc it reminded me of somebody, but also, the same VA apparently voiced a character from Zettai Karen Children, which is one of these kinda niche series that I have a sentiment for. Btw Zettai Karen Children: UNLIMITED opening (Last Resolution) is fukcing fire. Also, damn, the ZKC anime aired in 2008, how tf did I find it years later.

BACK TO MAGI

Ok, that's also an interesting difference. In the manga, Alibaba says that he freed everybody etc, because this is what Aladdin would have wanted. At some point after freeing Garda he also tells Toto that he did if because he [Cassim] would've done that, and I'm kinda reading it all as him not yet coming to terms with his own desires, and, yeah, Alibaba does struggle with that a bit, something that Hakuryuu kinda points out. I'm reading it that way because 1) I simply prefer to, 2) I kinda don't think Cassim would've cared that much about Garda. Like, maybe? But idk, it doesn't seem right... Anyway. Back to the topic. Here Alibaba tells Morgiana that it's because he felt that it was something he had to do. So, no deflection, he did what he thought was right. Welp, anime!Alibaba got to show more of insecurity in the Dungeon Arc, while manga!Alibaba here.

Aaaand Morgiana's reaction to finding out that Alibaba'd left was skipped completely. Darn. Kinda a shame. I feel like that moment sets up the fact that Morgiana joins Aladdin to find Alibaba, at least a little bit. That, and later there's a moment in the Balbadd Arc where Morgiana recalls that moment after Alibaba's said something similar, and connects the dots. But oh well.

Aladdin looked much angrier in the manga.

It's supposed to be imposing, but damn, it looks kinda off, and as a result really funny. Like, maybe it's the perspective, but isn't his head, like, kinda small? Idk, man.

I'm just. Listen, I'm trying to be serious, but it reminds me about these Friendship is Manly MLP animations, and I just can't.

Ok, now he's angry.

Baba! And Aladdin's future staff! That will break! Whoops!

Oh, look, the magi lore funky wallrug

Ok, in the manga, Toya was here earlier, and it was Aladdin who'd told Baba that he can see Rukh, too, but here she's the one to just know that he does. Here, though, we jump straight into the lore.

This looks hilarious here, but also, it probably was on purpose, as a form of subtle foreshadowingTM. But anyway. Magi: expectation vs reality.

This entire animation of Rukh flying here is fucking gorgeous. I've told you I'm a corvid.

Ok, but I feel like overall in the anime adaptation Aladdin's lost a bit of his agency, y'know? First in the Dungeon, to Alibaba, and here, too, he seems even more passive than he actually is.

Toya! Definitely gives off a more depressed vibe than in the manga. On the flipside, very nice voice.

Damn, there sure was a lot of effort put in here.

Aww, we didn't get the best fucking wingmen in the series : (

Aww, the "whatever your name is spelled as this time" looks kinda ni-

(honking laughter noises)

Ok, in the manga it was obvious D-guy had a huge crush on Toya, while her feelings were more ambiguous, but here it's Toya who seems to be crushing more.

First of all, lmao, and second of all, I am about to reach the pic limit bc of this image alone.

(more honks)

clueless, and the goddamn horse not getting paid enough for this bs

And last but not least

The boy.

That being said, in the anime he brings out Ugo just like that, completely unprompted, while in the manga he wanted Ugo to thank them for saving him, too, F.

Fambily.

Honestly, I feel like I gotta tone it down with pointing out the differences. I'd just never shut up. So unless I consider something important or interesting, imma drop it.

Aladdin's in much more hurry to return to Qishan in the manga.

Say what you will, but Aladdin and Alibaba's friendship comes off as far stronger than there, even if it already was pretty darn strong.

Oh, so now it's- Actually, I'm having second thoughts. Is is it a crescent or full moon. Whatever. It's pretty.

Ok, I seem to be pretty close to the photo limit.

Man thinking about ZKC the un/limited and I would have probably enjoyed it better if it was not disproportionally popular compared to the main series.

Sth about spinoff centered on a guy being way more popular than the og installment centered on girls irks me.

Endless night.

[laryna6]

When you start actually writing a bunny that came up in RP and realize almost four chapters in that you should have included a sixth character. And in an ensemble piece where characters bounce off each other every interaction adding them in means the scenes you have could go majorly off the rails rather than just being a case of adding a few lines of dialogue.

So yeah, good news is I wrote almost 8K today, bad news is I have no idea when any of it could be published. Or actually, I might go ‘airline seats are three across’ and leave him out - unless, first class? Or just some international flights end up with weird seating plans? With him there I’d have one set of two and one set of four and I want adorable chibi cuddles, darn it. I want the flight attendants going ‘aww look at these cute little kids one of them has a checklist.’ 

Meanwhile even with the charas at ten that’s already a ton of trauma and emotional abuse and. Well. Can’t wait for the reunion scene with the rest of the cast and all of the ‘who are these people and they are happy to see me??!?’ 

3/5 are like ‘I got kidnapped/sold which is objectively traumatic but what matters is I have friends now and so my live is 10000000x better’ one is like ‘hugs and ice cream aren’t just in books??’ but the fifth one HAS a family and currently believes it ended badly for them but! Time travel is apparently a thing! (Maybe they could even save the one who already died?!)

Adding the sixth character would make it 4/6 in category 1, so I don’t really know if they would add anything to the fic, come to think of it. Besides +1 case of trauma due to metaphorical racism to examine/more evidence for Kyousuke that he has ended up in the Bad Future and must go back and try to change things so this other person’s life can be better too.

Maybe I can just add the character to the cast reunion scene at the end? That’s probably best.
