on the point of including black people in the show (or any period show), a lot of the outrage can sometimes come across as performative to me. it's one thing to feel upset about how little screentime black characters get compared to white characters (a valid criticism, believe me, I Know! give me an hour and i could talk your ear off about how this constantly annoys me as a black person who's damned to enjoy period pieces), but it's another to Only get upset while not actually creating content for said black characters, Especially when fandom (not just hbo war, but in general) is famous for taking Extremely minor characters and creating entire worlds with them, to the point where you wouldn't know they're minor characters at all until you check out the source yourself. richard macon, alexander jefferson, and robert daniels each have only 20 or less posts about them (at the time of publishing this post). in my own fandom experience (within fandoms both big and small and old and new, whatever), i've seen more content (posts, art pieces, analyses, fics, etc) made for minor white characters in less than a mere week's time (it's not a competiton lol i'm just giving a perspective here). so idk. obviously, there's nothing anyone here can do about a show that's already been filmed and released. we got what we got. thas it. at least in the great wide world of fandom, you can actually do something about it, turning the big into small. there's precedent for that. otherwise it just feels like complaining for the sake of complaining

Oh yeah speaking of going to chill with The Ladies, I hope to go tomorrow (and my mom wants to come too lmfao) and it will be the first Official Test of the sunflower bag of legend

First official test meaning first time I'm gonna carry it with stuff in it outside of the house.

All I really plan to put in there is some balls of yarn, some hooks, maybe some scissors, and my little flat tray of safety pins and yarn needles, so nothing too too heavy (well except for my 1 pound yarn balls but yknow) but I'm still both excited and nervous. If I really wanna test it out, I might put my ipad in there for good measure.

I'll report back with my results.

If I’m your friend then I will fight for you and stand up for you when you’re under attack, but also it’s really easy to defeat me and I’m weak against ranged damage so you should probably start running now because those horse archers look fast

Ok guys I knowwwww the 2016 PPG remake is bad. I'm seeing it firsthand with my own eyes as I watch it because I'm a bit sadistic. There's a lot of shit in here that makes me gag from its sheer stupidity.

But listen. Where the fuck else do I get fanservice gold like THIS 💘💖💘💖💘💖💘💖💘💖💘💖💘💖

i loved the phrase "tuckered out" so much. like gosh look at this little guy they're so tuckered and out! tuckered SO out. you cannot believe how tuckered this guy is. and out. someone tuck in this tuckered out little tucking guy

uhhhh okay, I know I've done this before but I lost it (sorry), so...

like to be on the relationships page! this is fair game as long as we've either plotted a dynamic or have written together for long enough that it's naturally developed. will be added to the new carrd since I'm going to remake it

Alright, the mass post spam is complete. The only things I have left are like...a buttload of lore and character backstories to fill out, which I can do on my own time.

so

I'll do that later.

for now?

Ima do other stuff

okok i'm out tomorrow so idk if i'll be writing anything BUT i did queue a couple shorter drafts i managed to write while listening to golden all the way through like 4+ times, so there's that

Izuku can’t be a hero.

He isn’t ready to accept it, but it’s true. Quirkless, worthless Midoriya Izuku. To be nobody at all is written in his destiny, sworn in his blood. Drive isn’t going to change who he is.

When a villain propositions him—gives him the chance to be somebody—Izuku jumps on the opportunity. But he doesn’t do it for them.

One day, he’s going to be more than society’s labels.

One day, he’s going to tear the villains apart from the inside out.

suddenly have little fugue in g minor stuck in my head and have no idea why

vote now on your phones

okay goodnight

but how IS kirby right back at ya reflected in DS era kirby lore

Just as the original post stipulates, I will be answering this without looking at sources.

Excellent question! You see, the kirby anime is basically never brought up in the games. Ever.

Except for Two Games! These games are the kirby ds original titles, Kirby Squeak Squad and Kirby Mass Attack!

In Squeak Squad, Castle Dedede very notably uses its crooked anime design, and is the only kirby game to do so! Though it borrows no plot from the anime, it's aesthetically cohesive with it.

Mass Attack lays it on thicker. One of its sub games, Kirby Quest, is basically one giant anime reference. It features anime exclusive enemies (such as the fitness guy whose name I forgot), and during its Dedede bossfight, Dedede's attack has him rush at the Kirbies together with his underlings... including Escargoon! This is Escargoon's only appearance in All Of Kirby Gaming.

Even the appearance of Galaxia as a hidden boss could be construed as an anime reference, since MK's sword was relatively unimportant before, and has only been known as Galaxia after the anime.

This whole shebang is easy to explain with the Kirby DS era just coinciding with the anime. At that time, the Wii also had the Kirby Channel, which featured episodes of Right Back At Ya for free. I used to watch them at my neighbour's house sometimes.

So, because the anime may have been kids' first experience with Kirby, the Kirby games of that time were made to resemble the anime a tad more than the others to make the experience smoother, since the anime and the games aren't very much alike at all.

Kinda notable that the progression is like, Nightmare in Dreamland for gameboy advance and then Squeak Squad, since Nightmare is the main antagonist of Right Back At Ya. Adds to the vibe that this was planned for, ykno?

Kirby Mass Attack has the best subgames in the entire series btw. One of em is just pinball and i'd play it for hours. One of them is a shmup. Kibry Quest is a banger and I spent so much time getting it all perfect to unlock Galaxia. I love Mass Attack.

Did you know: Because of Kirby Mass Attack, Daroach is the character with the most speaking lines in all of Kirby? Since he gives hints for finding the game's medal collectibles, he has unique dialogue pointing to every single one.

websmp session summary sketch

feeling really normal about pokemon tonight. does my 3am rambling make any sense

Anyway. Bc i was writing ab Arashi i vaguely remembered her once mentioning that she disliked her name bc she doesn't think it very feminine and like idk maybe i'm the crazy one

But isn't storm/tempest such a feminine concept... maybe it's bc in croatian the word itself is feminine, and they usually get personified in myths/legends as women, but. Idk. Arashi's name <3 is so <3 to me
