everyone always talks about the romance between loid and yoru but no one ever pays proper respect to the true power couple, balsa and tanda

I love how Balsa the Spear wielder was thee gender-nonconforming female character created just for ME specifically.

The government manipulates the official history, the written history, and even the oral tradition to control the people.

rewatching Moribito with a pal, which means re-reading the book, and like... i liked that the anime added content to flesh out the side characters and Chagum’s growth, but Tanda’s weird flashes of sexism in the anime is bizarre

in the anime there are instances where he gets frustrated for not taking on traditional gender roles in his relationship with Balsa (“I feel like the housewife of some damn soldier” etc), which is not something that was expressed in the book. in the book, Tanda’s insecurity in their relationship is that Balsa is always running off to somewhere and leaving him behind—and the possibility of her dying far from him, where he can’t help her.

and while I do think Tanda’s core insecurity in the anime is basically the same as the book, for some reason they’ve chosen to frame it as an anxiety about his ~failure~ to uphold traditional gender roles instead of being unable to help when someone he loves is hurt or killed, and not being able to even know about it until it’s too late (or maybe even never finding out).

like... it’s just really weird that they invented a sexist/gender essentialist aspect to introduce conflict into Balsa and Tanda’s dynamic, while the whole point of Balsa and Tanda’s relationship is that it doesn’t follow traditional gender roles and they’re comfortable (or at least had already made their peace) with it. like... what was the rationale here

(also, the English dub is pretty good, but i’m really bugged by Tanda’s outburst of “you can learn to ask for help every now and then!” in ep 5. at first glance it’s similar to the Japanese dialogue, but “learn to XYZ” sounds so condescending, like he’s lashing out bc Balsa made him feel emasculated or whatever, while in the original dialogue it’s more clear that he’s frustrated by Balsa acting like she has to go it alone.

I kinda liked the change from “even a man like me knows it’s a man’s role to protect women” in the Japanese dialogue to “even an herbalist like me is capable of protecting a woman if that’s what she needs” in the English dub during his rant to the manhunt scouts in ep 6, but I really don’t like the changes from that point onwards. the English dialogue is peak entitlement (”Whenever she gets hurt she comes running straight to me [...] I’m such a sucker”), and while he’s deffo bitter in the Japanese dialogue, there’s no real implication of her ‘owing’ him for patching her up that is present in the English dub)

Angel Bat Danny

Bruce had been floating through this green place already for a few hours. That tiny, white-haired, winged boy with a halo found him and brought him to a place to stay.

It was a pretty nice Greek place, and he saw many people. Even met Pandora, you would think Diana would have end up here.

++ It was not Bruce's Fault ! Really! BELIEVE HIM!!

Well, he adopted the Angel Boy Daniel, after a few hours of knowing him. Had the papers too done.

+ And after maybe 2 or 3 weeks in the Zone but real world just few days, he was back in the Watch Tower, seeing the Justice League. It looks like John was able to bring back his soul. + A few days later, an Angel Bat appeared in Gotham, saving the town by making all the Joker Gas gone with a beat of his wings and healing them with a 2 beat.

+ Phantom:" Papa!" Batman:" Oh! Come here. I did promise you Burgers."

Later. Dick:" You were dead for just 2 days! And you had time to adopt Angel!" Bruce: "Don't blame me."

++ For Public it's now The Holy City Gotham??

A look behind my little animation.

I don’t have a lot of space at the moment so I can only manage to do short one session animations. Hopefully in the future, I can do some longer form ones.

Rating Non-Disney Animated Horse Designs

I’m back by popular demand/well not really but my optimism’s grand

A sequel to my Disney horse Rating post for all the other random non-Disney horses. Dreamworks, Bluesky, random cartoons, anything I could find. Featuring: Altivo, Spirit, some Barbie horses, and a few abominations.

Horse (Sing)

6/10 I don’t hate it and I feel like I should because it’s really hard to anthropomorphize horses that much without making them into the stuff of nightmares.

Shadowfax (The Lord of the Rings)

5/10 There’s nothing WRONG with him per se, but it’s SHADOWFAX. Lord of all horses. He should wow me, and he doesn’t. Check out Gandalf’s weird sock-boots though.

Hervé (Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper)

-6/10 Horses' mouths don’t look like that. Horses’ mouths should not look like that. This thing wants to eat human flesh but can’t because it has two solid curved huge teeth with no physical relationship with its jaw. Also this horse has the beginnings of male-pattern baldness.

Princess Brietta (Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus)

1/10 Her eyes are flat like they’ve been painted onto her socketless skull. And there’s something very off-putting about this shade of pink.

Beauty, Merry Legs, Ginger (Black Beauty)

4/10 Ginger isn’t ginger. That is not a sorrel horse. There’s ONE requirement. Beauty’s the best of the three which is I guess what counts.

Hans, Klaus and Greta (Ferdinand)

2/10 I hate them so much. The core design isn’t that bad but the way they move and pose is. No horse should make that face. The one on the left is stretched putty.

The Grand Chawhee (All Dogs Go to Heaven)

I know what you’re thinking-- “isn’t that a mule or a donkey of some sort?” No. He’s a racehorse. Maybe a thoroughbred. And it’s his birthday so the other horses let him win.

9/10

Stella (All Dogs Go to Heaven)

1/10 She gets one point for being nice to Chawhee. But she’s clearly some sort of alien giraffe hybrid.

Odette’s horse (Swan Princess)

7/10 Just a nice little palomino design.

That little shaggy pony (The Quest for Camelot)

12/10 Amazing. Look at the determination.

Buck (Barnyard)

2/10 See this is what that horse from Sing COULD have looked like.

The Horse in the Back, Not Klaus But I Couldn’t FInd a Better Picture (Klaus)

9/10 He matches his owner and I respect that

Leah (The Star)

4/10 This is horse is voiced by Kelly Clarkson. That has nothing to do with her rating, I just thought you should know.

(Starchaser: The Legend of Orin)

8/10 for both. I have questions but I do not want answers. It’s better this way.

Fred (Over the Garden Wall)

7/10 don’t love that his head is a different color than his body in a weird way but he looks neurotic and fun.

The Chariot Horses (Prince of Egypt)

8/10 I’ve just always liked these guys with their square faces and fun hats.

Altivo (The Road to El Dorado)

7/10 Look at the little curl in his mane. Good personality. A little too much “Dreamworks Face”

Donkey in Horse Form (Shrek 2? one of the Shreks)

3/10 Look at his face. I DREAD what he might have to say.

Esmeralda, Esperanza, Ernestina (Madgascar 3)

2/10 They’re coming for you. Coming to drag you into the Abyss.

Police Horse (Madagascar)

7/10 I like his face shape. Compare him to the Madgascar 3 horses-- look how much more identifiable as a horse he is.

Melvin (The Lorax)

10/10 He’s not a horse, but he’s so fluffy I love him.

Babieca (Puss in Boots)

4/10 This horse has dead eyes.

Onyx (Rise of the Guardians)

13/10 She’s the leader of the nightmares and I would fully support her terrorizing the dreams of children. I’m pretty sure she and her mares ate the boogie man. A true Girlboss.

Yi Min (Kung Fu Panda but I think just an online game)

-20/10 Just from a design perspective there’s far too much going on so it’s hard to even make it all out. Also I would have zero idea that this was a horse if the wiki page didn’t tell me it was. It has split hooves?

Spirit Jr. (Spirit: Riding Free)

8/10 Objectively I know the design is good but my heart rebels against this show’s existence.

Boomerang Thomas Stone (Spirit: Riding Free)

8/10 I’m not doing all the horses from this show but I had to throw him in because he’s cute and he has a middle and last name for some reason.

Horse (Centaurworld)

Why are there two distinctly different designs for her? This one gets a 9/10. The round one is like... a 5. All the other creatures in this show are eldritch abominations that will haunt me in my sleep now.

Esperanza and all the other horses from this movie (Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron)

10/10 No notes. Perfect horses.

Rain (Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron)

15/10 I don’t have a joke here I just really like the way they differentiated her and made her pretty without too much anthropomorphizing. I like that she has a roman nose. I like her feather.

Spirit (Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron)

100/10 He’s everything. He shaped me as a person. No other animated horse can compare.

#horses #long post #spirit stallion of the cimarron #dreamworks #animation #sing #madagascar #all dogs go to heaven #centaurworld #over the garden wall #rise of the guardians #the lorax #the road to el dorado #altivo #that's not ALL of the non-Disney horses clearly but it's a pretty good sampling

Seirei no Moribito is an excellent, underrated little anime that I will love to my dying breath. Although Balsa is my absolute favorite character, I think Shuga also deserves some love. So here, have a Shuga.

(Also, I'm not wholly positive that people read scrolls in the world of Seirei no Moribito. I super do not remember everything they use to write and read, so let's just pretend for a moment that scrolls are canon.)

Crossover Idea

DC x DP crossover where Danny runs not into the Batman and Robin of the living world, but the guardian spirits Gotham has created in the Infinite Realms Billionaire adopting him? No, he has the literal city spirits trying to adopt him as part of their family.

Batman is a shadowy Creachur while Robin is a shapeshifter, taking aspects of the current and previous living robins, though has a bit more of Jason’s due to Jason having been well, dead for a bit. Perhaps why Jason was so mindless when he was revived, perhaps not, who knows.

#dc x dp #dp x dc crossover #DCU #DC #Batman #Batblob #robin #ghost robin #guardian spirits #danny phantom #Gotham #i am weak to creachurs #i am also weak to found family #How did Danny get to Gotham's spirit world?#Who knows #I blame Clockwork
