Dude, creating any world where magic exists, and people are people, especially young people, and having the majority of them look normal is a gross underestimation of the human spirit to change our appearance.
You cannot convince me that if people had magic, a majority of them wouldn't be changing the color and length of their hair, or the sharpness of their teeth, or have moving tattoos, because most magic would make such reversible, removing the barrier most have to altering their bodies in ways that are permanent in our world. And especially not considering how many would be changing things like their sex, like it's incredible how we don't have more fantasies like Nimona, where magic makes things like identity and gender more fluid.
Anyways let your fantasy stories be more fun looking ok bye. (if you know of any pls reply with suggestions)

Everyone rags in Fairy Tail for it's overuse of the "Enemy eventually becomes ally" trope. And they're right, as you watch the show it kinda gets exhausting. But I find an refreshing optimism in the idea that anyone you find yourself in conflict with, you could eventually see eye to eye with. There's just this feeling in the show that, even if our ideas, goals, or even personalities clash, we're all human. That eventually, if we hang on to hope, and act with love, we can find common ground, and maybe even change for the better in the process. Of course it's in an ideal world, where magic exists. But it's not trying to be anything else. The 3rd rule if you leave Fairy Tail is literally "Though our paths may have diverged, you must continue to live out your life with all your might, you must never consider your own life to be something insignificant, and you must never forget about your friends for as long as you live." As far as jobs go, it's probably the kindest thing to leave someone you parting with. Like the idea is that they're abandoning the guild, abandoning their friends. And Fairytale's response is just, "as long as you love yourself and don't forget the kindness you experienced here, have peace." And that brings me joy.

Everyone rags on Korra's team avatar for not being "close"
but being an adult in their early 20's myself, they seem entirely accurate for a group of friends trying to balance their work lives with jobs and rent to pay.
Aangs group were kids, with adults often paying for them in one way or another (Or Toph scamming people). Plus, they had a singular, unifying, and constant goal for the runtime of that show, they were with each other, traveling for the entire show.
But Korra's villain's were months, sometimes years, apart from each other. In-between they have lives, jobs, relationships. And we see the results in the show.
We see Mako go through an entire career progression from Criminal -> Pro-Bender -> Police -> Body guard. But the kicker is, Aangs team goes through something similar as they age. We see some of it in the comics. From all accounts, they remain close friends, but they all split off and do their own thing, have their own career's, start families, their future looks a lot like what Korra's team avatar looks like, only it's after the show, not during.

Dude, recording actors doing voice acting auditions is an awesome gig 99% of the time.
The 1% is the sucky times WHEN THEY USE A LINE FROM A THE LAST EPISODE OF A SHOW YOUR WATHCING AND IT SPOILS WHAT HAPPENS.
Otherwise fantastic gig 10/10.

Everyone talks about Golden Retriever/Black Cat Combo, but have you guys considered the Huskey/Orange Cat combo? Where it's a stoic loyal partner and a silly goofy partner with undiagnosed adhd?
Some examples -

I remember doing this as a kid, like but with my imaginary friend. I knew I was supposed to have one, and supposedly I had one when I was 3 but I told them to fuck off when they missed my bday party (I have no memory of this). So when I was like 8, I pretended to have one because I thought I was supposed too. And like I worked to convince my parents/teachers/classmates I had one, because I guess I thought I would be weird if I didn't have one.
I did the same thing with Santa. I thought my parents would be sad if I didn't believe, so I like put on a performance (a good one, my child self would have won a tony). And they believed it until I was like 13, at witch point they like dropped the act and I had to pretended to be devastated.
Unrelated but related. I also used to watch the Disney channel because my classmates would talk about the shows and I wanted to be like them and have topics of conversation, and learn how to act to fit in.
so in third grade I told two of my friends I could talk to horses & made up a really dramatic backstory of how I “discovered” my powers & our teacher overheard us talking about it and told the child psychologist I was seeing for insomnia issues & the child psychologist asked me about it & I was first and foremost terrified that if I admitted to the lie, this medical professional would tell my friends I made it all up
so I doubled down and insisted I could really talk to horses. I was doing major damage control. I didn’t realize you can’t just tell psychiatric professionals you have magic powers, I was 8.
so I ended up in counseling for this for an entire year until eventually I just stopped going for some reason but when I was 20 the office contacted me to tell me the psychologist was retiring & asked if I wanted a copy of my childhood records before they were filed away and eventually shredded & I said sure & went over them & discovered that she had diagnosed me with “psychotic delusions” bc I was 8 and apparently convinced her I truly thought I could talk to horses.
genuinely cannot tell if I my parents should’ve been cashing in on me as the most sought-after child actor of the era or if that psychologist was just extremely so so so bad at her job.

You ever think about how the fact that maybe Humanity as a whole wasn't horny in the beginning, but it's only the ones that fucked and shared the horny gene and here most of us are horny as fuck.

sorry i don't reply more to people on this webs site. u see i do not enjoy interacting or being perceived or acknowledging the threatening realities of existing in a world alongside sentient sapient beings separate from myself. ( the philosophical ramifications are catastrophic, i'm sure u understand )

The writing of this book is brilliant.
“Many people, meeting Aziraphale for the first time, formed three impressions: that he was English, that he was intelligent, and that he was gayer than a tree full of monkeys on nitrous oxide. Two of these were wrong; Heaven is not in England, whatever certain poets may have thought, and angels are sexless unless they really want to make an effort. But he /was/ intelligent. And it was an angelic intelligence which, while not being particularly higher than human intelligence, is much broader and has the advantage of having thousands of years of practice. Aziraphale was the first angel ever to own a computer. It was a cheap, slow, plasticky one, much touted as ideal for the small businessman. Aziraphale used it religiously for doing his accounts, which were so scrupulously accurate that the tax authorities had inspected him five times in the deep belief that he was getting away with murder somewhere. But these other calculations were of a kind no computer could ever do. Sometimes he would scribble something on a sheet of paper by his side. It was covered in symbols which only eight other people in the world would have been able to comprehend; two of them had won Nobel prizes, and one of the other six dribbled a lot and wasn’t allowed anything sharp because of what he might do with it.”
— Good Omens, Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett

the fact that Disney first let the Artemis Fowl adaptation stew in development hell, then miscast half the characters and so completely misunderstood the appeal of the original novel it created an adaptation so bad it put the M. Night Shyamalan live-action ATLA movie to shame, buried it by only releasing it to streaming and is now pulling it from Disney+ to avoid paying residuals during the writers' strike in an incredible dick move, thus effectively (legally) deleting the movie from existence...genuinely vying for the title of the most cursed adaptation of all time

Good omens spoilers!!!!!!!
I love how a Neil Gaiman was just like
"Oh? Some of you didn't realize that Aziraphale and Crowley are obviously in love? Well, now they're very obviously an old married gay couple. They talk about "our bookshop" and how much "use" it gets and "our car" now featuring travel sweets. And we see them fall in love in a cellar dining on wine and meats, trapped alone together in a storm. And a good, hot, passionate kiss for those of you particularly lacking viewing compression.
And they're getting a divorce because you guys didn't appreciate them when you had them.
Maybe they'll get back together again in 5 years when we make a season 3.
IF we make a season 3
Do you appreciate my gay ineffable husbands now? Hymmmmm?"
Like, why....... why you gotta do that to us.

Where does one find deep sea goats? I was unaware there were aquatic variations of such a creature.
