I literally canā€™t believe that this art of Emblem Ike looked better than Engageā€™s official art of him.

Hi! I see where U reblogged my tangled crit posts šŸ‘€
I dont hate it, it just doesnt hit as well as it should. I prefer the barbie version. And I prefer Disney Rapunzel with ROTG Jack because not only they the same age but i find the parallels a bit more fascinating.
I remember seeing a arrow toy Rapunzel themed at Target, just recently I found out she was going to use a bow and arrow beforehand XD much much cooler than a frying pan!
Which begs to question! Why is the franchise so off with its girl characters? Gothel's entire motivation is staying young, Cass ended up a mess, Ariana is underwritten. And Rapunzel barely has another girl her age to hang out with. It's just Cass.
I get it. I disliked the movie at first because of the movie itself and how badly it was written but I started to hate the movie because of the rabid, racist fans and how badly they treated patf just to prop this movie up back in the day. The fandom is still pretty bad from what I seen.
The Barbie version is one of the best adaptations of rapunzel I have ever seen. Itā€™s so good and it holds up perfectly well today except for the animation of course. If you get a chance, you should check out rapunzelā€™s revenge. Itā€™s a great rapunzel comic and Disney took elements from that version as well.
I definitely agreed that Jack Frost and rapunzel would make a good couple. I liked them way better than him and Elsa and definitely would be way better than creepy dream.
Oh I saw that now in stores and I wonder why they made it when Merida is right there. I did hear that the series writers wanted her to have the bow and arrow but Disney didnā€™t like that idea. Probably because they wanted her to be helpless and didnā€™t want her to be taken seriously with a weapon. I remember looking at some Lego sets and I saw that rapunzel had a bow in a set for the series. So I think that rumor was true. Yeah, I would like the bow and arrow way better than that dumb frying pan. I guess it doesnā€™t matter since rapunzel wasnā€™t shown as a threat with the frying pan and it was more Flynnā€™s weapon in the movie.
Yeah, itā€™s so weird how this franchise is targeted towards little girls and all the female characters in it is just off and can be really offensive. Gothel is a walking outdated stereotype of many, rapunzel has no flaws, gets overshadowed in her OWN movie and couldnā€™t even drive the plot of the movie! Itā€™s hard to believe this movie was made in 2010, it belongs in the 50s.
I have limited knowledge of the series characters but is cass the one who they made a villain and has blue hair like sheā€™s some anime character? If so, Itā€™s bad because I think I seen people say that sheā€™s a villain because of how she looks and they turned a friendship into a bitter one just in a sake of something dumb. Do the writers think that girls have to be catty to each other or else itā€™s unrealistic? Itā€™s a weird choice for a franchise targeted towards little girls. Ariana is the queen, right? I think I reblog a post about cultural appropriation in the movie and they mentioned her name. But really? They could have had a good plot point about rapunzel and her getting used to a good mother after what sheā€™s been through. But they thought it was better just to focus on the king, have him be even more abusive to rapunzel than gothel was (reading her diary, following her everywhere and locking her up in a fucking tower after she just got out of one!!) and say that itā€™s ok because heā€™s doing it because he loves her.. I also ā€œloveā€ how the queen basically did nothing about this and just say supportive things rapunzel behind the kingā€™s back like that means anything. Disney really needs to hire women for this franchise because this is just embarrassing and sad in this day and age.

Do you think that in the end, even if Arajin manages to bring Matakara out of the darkness, they will still be best friends? because I feel like their friendship might not stay the same. You know, I don't want Bucchigiri to end with a rushed and poorly done ending. It would be very boring if they became friends again after everything Arajin did to Matakara.
Hello anon!
And I do think they can be friends but I feel they would need to start small first. I can't imagine that Matakara would just be willing to completely absolve Arajin of abandoning him and lying to him for so long. And knowing how he mistreated his old friend since their reunion, it would make sense that Arajin would make an effort to accept his grievances and try to rebuild their friendship.
Plus it would be good for Matakara to also take it slow and learn to accept the type of person Arajin truly is in terms of flaws and strengths. He isn't the perfect Honki Person he needed him to be, but he's an average boy with his own personality. So it would be good for Matakra to take his time with accepting him again.
And I personally won't think of that type of ending as boring but I would find it rather disappointing that they would rush it. I'm hoping that won't be the case.

Ok change of plans: I plan to just farm for more Trace materials and play Cosmodyssey tomorrow, do the 2.1 Trailblaze Quest on Fridays to weekends, tackle the new Stagnant Shadow for Gallagherā€™s Ascension Materials and also gather farming materials for Aventurine + Jingliu as well.

Have you noticed that the two post-credits scenes in Bucchigiri?! are similar? It may be obvious, but it is no coincidence, both are moments between friends, TWO FRIENDS, sharing a very personal moment together. Here we can appreciate some things regarding both friendships, they show trust, loyalty, sincerity and above all, equality. We could say that it's the type of relationship that Arajin and Matakara should share at this point if they hadn't separated, or in any case, if they had reconciled in a healthy way.
Arajin was so engrossed in how it made him feel to have abandoned his best friend and at the same time betrayed the foundations on which their friendship was based (the principles of a honki person) that he never asked himself how his friend felt about it. Deep down he worries about Matakara, to the point that just remembering what he did to him causes him physical discomfort. Wanting to push him away is not because he no longer cares, but rather an instinctive response of rejection of a trigger related to his trauma.
Matakara, for his part, has his own problems. The story has shown us that he always had a dependence on his brother as he was his only close relative, or at least the one he trusted the most. Then comes Arajin, the only person besides his brother that he allows himself to trust. During that time, Matakara puts Arajin on a pedestal, being (surely) his first true friend and first significant connection outside of his family, but eventually the incident we all know happens and Arajin abandons him. Matakara was most likely so heartbroken that he preferred to blame himself for what happened, reinforcing his feelings of inferiority, dependence on his brother and creating a (perhaps) subconscious fear of trusting other people again (something confirmed by Zabu's face during episode 10, surely realizing that he really didn't know his friend as much as he thought), while at the same time, Arajin's memory becomes more and more mythologized, which only gets worse in the fight between Arajin and Marito, which only confirms his own blindness, making the moment of confession much more painful for him.
Obviously neither of them was psychologically prepared for their reunion, because neither had the tools to open up about what happened, and when Arajin decides to do so, he doesn't do it with the intention of taking that necessary first step towards reconciliation, but rather as a way of distancing himself from the source of his trauma, at the worst moment and in the most hurtful way possible, totally blind to Matakara's suffering, who, seeing himself completely deprived of any support, begins his descent into the abyss.
Many talk about how Arajin must open up and allow himself to be vulnerable in order to save Matakara and reconcile, but that also applies to Matakara, who if we look at it, has strongly refused to do so. Although his friends in Minato Kai worry about him, his first reaction after his brother's incident is to isolate himself. He has always been someone strong, honest and reliable, he is that friend you trust in difficult times, not only because he is like that, but because it's what he feels is expected of him and what he demands of himsel. To be able to be like the Arajin he remembers, for his brother who believes he can become the honki person he wants to be, because he is the younger brother of the legendary former leader of Minato kai. All of this has created an enormous weight on him, which surely helped the shadows that stalked him to remain close to him, even when he seemed to be more stable.
This is where we return to the topic of the other two friendships., Marito and Outa for example. In Siguma, their positions as leader and second in command are clear, however, it's more than evident that between the two there is a relationship of equals, where we can appreciate a complete and unquestionable loyalty towards each other, having a fairly strong and solid bond. Kenichiro and Mitsukuni seem to have a similar relationship, the way in which the second one shares his future plans goes beyond a simple conversation between a leader and his successor, but between two people who understand and respect each other. Both are relationships where, although they do not say it explicitly, share great affection, which is what Arajin and Matakara should aspire to in the future. A friendship founded not on the childhood desire to become a honki person, but on the mutual appreciation and affection that they share.

nobody:
me watching bucchigiri: wow, these metaphors for a childhood love that the mc is desperately trying to throw away because he feels too inadequate to protect it are giving me emotions...

So random thought about Bucchigiri, what do you think will happen if Arajin got Ichiya not Senya? Do you think Ichiya can manipulate him like with Matakara? And what if Matakara got Senya, I think it will be a lot of fun....
You're right that show is far from peefect but it's a fun ride....
Oh that would be an interesting AU for a fic! šŸ¤”
The dynamic between them would be completely different, that would be so fun! Ichiya being disgusted by Arajin's behavior or using his thirsty ass to manipulate him, meanwhile Matakara and Senya are just vibing.
Idk I need to think about it more to draft a fic out of this, but I think Ichiya wouldn't even bother to merge with Arajin tbh šŸ˜‚

Something tells me it wonā€™t go back to the way it used to be but at the same time given that both are teenagers, I do see them making up with one another but slowly.

Ok I apologize for the HSR spam but Iā€™m legit upset that I couldnā€™t even get Gallagher at all despite being a 4 star unit, who are pretty easy to get in limited banners alongside the 5 star character.
ā€¦.Then again, I shouldnā€™t have blown off my 8K Stellar Jades on a Standard banner out of boredomā€¦.
Tumblr media
Off-topic but Iā€™m probably going to play the 2.1 Trailblaze Quest soon so not only can I get more Stellar Jades but also access the Preservation 2.0 Trace Materials for Aventurine and Ascension Materials for Gallagher.

Tried out the character demo for Gallagher and he isnā€™t that bad IMO. I think if (the demo is of any indication) you pair him with Himeko and Asta, he would do just fine. Tho I do agree that building a team centered around Break Effect is pretty hard esp if you donā€™t have Ruan Mei (which I am one of those people LMAO)
Havenā€™t got the chance to use his Skill tho lmao.

I wonā€™t tackle Simulated Universe 9 just yet cause I need to figure out which unit would benefit from the new Planar Ornaments.
Any thoughts on who would benefit from Izumo Gensei or Sigonia Planar set? (Asides from Acheron benefitting from the Izumo Gensei Planar set ofc)

Should have said it but I encountered the event of Yukong and Qingni in the aftermath of the Ghost Hunting quest and it was pretty buttersweet seeing both adopted mother-daughter finding closure in the other mumā€™s death (Iā€™m a Yukong x Caiyi truther)
Tumblr media
Oh and I killed a Trotter too not only for extra Stellar Jades but also because itā€™s in the way of the mother-daughter bonding time.

Ok so maybe the positive thing about not getting Gallagher yet is that I donā€™t have his Trace and Ascension materials which is maybe a good thing tbh as I still have yet to farm for them.
So while waiting to get the 20 free tickets, Iā€™m going to farm for them for a while plus Aventurineā€™s Trace materials too.

Ok this new game mode is kind of fun actually. Itā€™s like Monopoly in a sense but it recounts your journey and is formatted into a board game. How fun is that?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Plus the rewards are super sweet as well! You are even rewarded with the Nihility 2.0 Trace materials (which Iā€™m planning to exchange since I donā€™t have Black Swan nor am I pulling for Acheron) how cool is that?
