Kind of hilarious to me how poorly the title "Mob Psycho 100" localized to English-speaking areas. To someone whose first language is English, it scans as:

Mob (Yakuza, Mafia)

Psycho (violent person with "crazy" behaviors)

Thus: a particularly violent member of organized crime.

But in Japanese it scans as:

Mob (background characters in crowd scenes in manga or anime)

Psycho (short for psychic)

Thus: a psychic who looks/acts like someone you'd never pick out of a crowd scene in a comic.

“oh no, my audience has begun to guess the big twists of my story and are accurately predicting what will happen!”

incorrect response: write the rest of the story to be as twisty, shocking and counter to expectations as possible, regardless of whether this is a logical or satisfying way for the plot to go

correct response:

had a dream about a YouTube video talking about an early 2000s Christian dub of Ranma 1/2. and if you know anything about Ranma you know that sounds like about as good an idea as a 4kifd dub of One Piece. or even a worst idea. So the dream started with like a few minutes info dump. YouTube home documentary style. about this person talking about being like eight and watching this. but it transitioned to me watching like a random arc. in my dream decided Ranma was animated way better than it is.

The main teist of this Christian Dream Dub was Ranma was girl cursed into being a boy. A hellavu change. Im not sure why my brain decided this was what would happen. The Second change was there was no romance. So like BOOM all of Ranma 1/2 gone immediately. I get this one. This change makes sense to not dreaming me. Obviously a CHRISTIAN dub FROM THE 2000s wouldnt want gay romance. And there ISNT a straight romance in ranma 1/2. No matter how you spin it itll get messy. The third main change was a shonen action super power element. That didn't make any sense and I cant explain but was kinda cool anyway.

The dub had like whole scenes where they had to edit in whole outfits over half naked characters. And ALOT was just flat out cut or rearranged.

The "weird" thing about the dub was none of this tho. Being practically unrecognizable would be expected if something like this happened. The weird thing is it had heart. The dub was basically a whole different show grafted on top of Ranma but but it was a show someone reslly but effort into making. (my brain ig. but you get ehat I mean. Like i could of dream an intentionally terrible ranma dub)

The whole thing had a sort of girl "power vibe". And even tho it was going for "friendship is magic" it landed more in "vaguely homoerotic friendship" territory. Which its RANMA youd need some magic as editing to completely remove the romantic undertones.

Anyway it was an odd dream. especially cuz I didn't fall asleep thinking about ranma. I don't normally have dreams about media if I don't think about them before bed or like quite a bit during the day. I did neither of rhose.

Anyway my consensus outside of the dream is a lot like my consensus inside the dream. I'd watch this if I could get my hands on it. which one would be happening because it's not real. but it wasn't happening in the dream world because it was pretty rare. even just like dumps of it. it's because who would give a fuck about it but like 9-year-olds who watched it Sunday School. Or like mega ranma fans who want a laugh.

kaguya-sama is the perfect will they want they because you know they will in most will they won't they. This ine it's just who will? The question isnt "will they wont they" anymore. Even if thats still the set up. The question is "Who will break first in the elaborate GAME of will they wont they these two characters are playing".

i was cuddling with my boyfriend last night when his shoulder started tensing up (like he was readjusting or gently pushing me off) and when i asked him if he was okay or needed me to move or something he went “no you’re fine, i was just imagining myself pulling a large rope. i didn’t even realize my shoulder was doing that lmao” then refused to elaborate and i have never been as attracted to him as i was in that moment.

The funniest thing about Gideon Gravity Falls is he had actual magic and still spent most of his shows faking random super powers that werent that magic. Its

Theres something enamoring about time travel fix-its where just the wrong person is sent back. Not time travel stories where the bad guy gets sent back. But stories about someone sent back with the intent to do good and is either not the first choice, or constantly failing. They don't have all the right information; the right personality. The power. Something is wrong with them. The plan could work. But they cant do it.

And yes I did my nails to match too!

In finnish, the word for "opinion" is mielipide, from the word mieli - mind, and pide, which is a somewhat archaic form of pidike - a holder, support, clip, clamp. The word pide/pidike itself comes from the verb "pitää", to hold, or keep. So while nobody thinks of it in such poetic terms in everyday life, the finnish word for "opinion" essentially translates to being some sort of a mental carabiner or foothold in your mental scape that you can hold onto, grab for support, or attach things to keep them fastened.

And in finnish vernacular, especially online, it's often shortened to just MP, MieliPide - and you can ask peoples' opinions about things by just stating "Opinion: subject" to start a conversation. It's very succinct. For example, you can make a three-word statement:

MP: homoilu saunassa?

To ask the same question which in english is a far more long and takes more words: "What is your opinion on doing gay activities in the sauna?"
