——— basics! ♡

(PEN)NAME: Mia

PRONOUNS: She / Her

ZODIAC SIGNS: Libra for Sun, Picies for Rising, & Saggitarius Moon

TAKEN OR SINGLE: Single

TIME ZONE: East Coast Standard Time, EST.

——— three facts! ♡

My friends describe me as 'the luma from the mario movie' as of 2 months ago?? Before that it was 'feral in the best way' and 'it's always the cute ones who are unexpectedly horrifying'.

I love to cook! My favorite types of food to make are stews and braised dishes~ Chinese food is probably my favorite national food too.

I have two cats who I adore & I am 100% whipped when it comes to them.

——— experience ! ♡

Oh lord ok um. I unknowingly started RPing over the phone with my best friend in 2006; my first fandom was Naruto. As time went on it went from talking over the phone to texting, to even drawing comic panels that we'd exchange between classes and fill out. I officially started writing my RP's on Tumblr in 2016, and honestly have been on and off since then. I've been trying to be more active on here, but I do a lot of RP through Discord <3

——— muse preference ! ♡

Honestly I.. don't find myself with any specific preference for muse type? It's more of a 'can I relate to this muse on something?' and if the answer is yes, I go from there. I was going to originally type 'inhuman muses' but honestly, I pick up muses so fast for so many different reasons; usually for comedy reasons or to do a writing exercise.. and 9 times out of 10 they end up developing into one that stays long term.

I have a lot of muses from a lot of different fandoms that I don't list here; sadly I tend to hyper-fixate on one specific show/fandom and live in there for months at a time before writing for the others again.

——— FLUFF / ANGST / SMUT! ♡

FLUFF: I adore fluff!! I'm always down for it and will never get enough of it. Especially if it's with characters who could benefit from a good hug or need that sweet emotional intimacy/closure or if it's a situation I can just milk the shit out of.

ANGST: Truthfully I will hardly ever propose angst; I will engage in it if my partner wants it or if it's not a 'solely angst' rp/has elements but there's more going on than just pain. I get too invested and it ends up being really emotionally disruptive for me. It doesn't mean I won't, I just have to be very careful and make sure I have the right headspace for it.

SMUT: This. Yes. I love smut. I won't even lie. If I don't have at least a dozen horni thoughts a day then something is wrong. I love writing it too, but.. honestly, I have some hesitation about writing it here just because I worry about others on this platform.

PLOT / MEMES: I like both really!~ I generally prefer to plot out my rp's anyway. Having a storyline to work with really helps me think about how I can best flex my creative muscle to make the interaction as fun as possible. And memes/comedy is just a delight, I really can't get enough of those. Honestly, you'll probably see me pull a new muse out of the woodwork just to have a meme/comedy-based rp with another person.

Some random opening weekend predictions for animated movies for the rest of the year and maybe some 2025 ones, too...

THE GARFIELD MOVIE - Somewhere around $30m-45m. The only thing we can kind of base this on is the live-action GARFIELD from 2004, which did okay at best, wasn't really all that big back then. Whereas this is all-animated and much more recognizably Garfield & co., which I think will help it open above your typical post-COVID outbreak animated movie. It's the first all-new animated picture since KUNG FU PANDA 4, though not the first kid-friendly movie, as IF will open the weekend before it. Still, it's Garfield. Well-known, decades-old character. I guess the only other comparison here would have to be THE PEANUT MOVIES, which opened w/ $44m back in fall 2015. So yeah, somewhere in that ballpark.

INSIDE OUT 2 - Over $100m. The first INSIDE OUT opened with $90m back in 2015. Adjusted, that's definitely higher than $100m now. Anxiety was a huge hit upon the teaser release last fall, too. Could be a Grogu-esque character for the film that gets everyone in droves to check it out... So yeah, easy $100m opening. Will sit up there with THE SUPER MARIO BROS. MOVIE ($146m) and SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE ($120m), as grand champion animated openings post-March 2020. Could even make a play for the record, which currently belongs to the 2019 LION KING ($191m). If we don't want to count those kinds of CG movies, then... INCREDIBLES 2, with $182m.

DESPICABLE ME 4 - Over $60m. MINIONS: THE RISE OF GRU opened to a great $107m back in 2022, being the first movie in this franchise in five years (it had been delayed from its original planned summer 2020 release date), and it also helped that the DESPICABLE ME franchise was over ten years old by that point - the first movie having turned 10 in July 2020. I think that definitely helped MINIONS 2, and out of nowhere came that whole meme with people dressing up in fancy suits to see the movie. That's a sort of thing that can't be engineered, and can't happen again... Thus, I expect DESPICABLE ME 4 to perform a little more closely to DESPICABLE ME 3 (that opened to $72m back in 2017) and open above $60m. Could be anywhere between that and $80m, really. Maybe higher, if there's something of a nostalgia rush for it like there was for MINIONS 2.

TRANSFORMERS ONE - Over $25m. Tricky, given that this is an all-new take on Transformers and all-animated no less. I'll compare this to fellow Paramount animated film TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES: MUTANT MAYHEM. That movie came off of two live-action takes on the characters (released in 2014 and 2016), and prior to that there was a single animated movie in 2007 that made an okay amount of money, and there were the three live-action movies from the 1990s, the first of which being iconic... MUTANT MAYHEM opened with $28m last year, so I expect a similar turnout for TF ONE. Especially coming a year after RISE OF THE BEASTS (opened with $60m). With no footage out yet, it'll have to make a real impression the way MUTANT MAYHEM did in order to not get fully dismissed as "Oh, a TRANSFORMERS cartoon now?" Keep in mind, the first SPIDER-VERSE got that kind of reaction in 2018, and opened w/ $35m.

THE WILD ROBOT - Over $30m. I sense a real hype for this one, unlike most non-sequel animated movies released over the past couple of years. And even before COVID, honestly. The trailer really, *really* made an impression. At the movie theater I work at, between co-workers and guests commenting on the poster? Yeah, I think this one possibly scores the biggest opening for a DreamWorks non-sequel since THE BOSS BABY ($50m) all the way back in 2017. The bar isn't too high, for CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS, ABOMINABLE, and THE BAD GUYS grossed between $20-25m on their respective opening weekends, while RUBY GILLMAN came and went. This one, I think, will surprise.

THE DAY THE EARTH BLEW UP - Over $10m. It's Looney Tunes, yes. It's 2D, also. I don't expect a huge opening for it, given how the tides often flow. No doubt fans and those who have been keeping track of its existence will show up. Not sure how GFM goes about marketing and advertising this one, but I'm basing this on how a lot of non-anime 2D films - whether they're based on pre-existing franchises or not - did over the past 15 years.

MOANA 2 - Over $100m. The first MOANA opened with $56m back in 2016 and legged it up to a $245m+ domestic gross. Pretty solid run in theaters... But on streaming? E-X-P-L-O-D-E-D... It continues to be one of the most streamed movies of all-time, every year. Something about it, really keeps it atop the tidal wave. The post-theatrical life for this movie is ROBUST... Thus, I think this sequel will be a massive opener.

THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE WAR OF THE ROHIRRIM - Over $10m. Being an anime take on LORD OF THE RINGS, I think this will largely be ignored on its opening weekend, looked at as just "a LORD OF THE RINGS cartoon". With some diehards and animation fans such as ourselves showing up. Could be a leggy surprise thereafter, though.

MUFASA: THE LION KING - Over $30m. Whenever a sequel/prequel/whatever to a Disney remake crops up, it usually doesn't do great. ALICE IN WONDERLAND (2010), for example, was a billion dollar smash. Six years later came ALICE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS, which didn't make half of what the first Burton movie made worldwide. It did pitifully domestically, opening with $26m, waaaaay down from the first one's $116m opening take. MALEFICENT 2 had a similar trajectory, though not as harsh as a come down. That opened with $36m domestically, down from the first's $70m opening. I think LION KING prequel - coming off of the first, which opened with $191m - has a similar fate. It'll also have SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 3 to compete with.

DOG MAN - Over $10m. Basically a milder CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS. Looking at the likes of MIGRATION and such, it'll be a teens opener, probably having spectacular legs afterwards.

THE SMURF MOVIE - Over $10m. Kinda hard to gauge. A little while ago, Sony Animation did SMURFS: THE LOST VILLAGE in 2017, which opened with $13m. That came off of two relatively recent live-action hybrid movies. In 2025, it'll have been almost 10 years since LOST VILLAGE, so maybe that helps it? Maybe the new approach helps it? Remains to be seen, this is based on what little we know of it... But we already had three Smurfs movies in the 2010s, so it seems like it'll only do alright.

My Top 10 Favorite Movie Villains

Number 1. Palpatine/Darth Sidious (Star Wars) - In retrospective, Palpatine is easily the best villain in cinematic history. In the first two movies of the original trilogy, he never appears once, he’s only mentioned as “The Emperor,” and based off what we heard from Vader after he chopped Luke’s hand off, The Emperor sounds like a bigger and scarier dude than Vader. Then Return of The Jedi happens, and we see that he’s just a frail old man, yet he somehow manages to not only have Vader under his thumb, and based off what we see in the climax of the movie, it was primarily based off manipulation and not the force lightning he shoots out of his fingers. Then the Prequels happened, and The Clone Wars happened, which is honestly the exact moment that young me liked him more than Vader, and the moment current me rediscovered just how well written Palpatine is as a pure evil, card carrying dark lord, and as a politician. Sure he’s one of the strongest sith lords in the series, but that alone isn’t what makes him scary. It’s his careful planning, and the best part of it is that he rarely appears onscreen, yet his presence can be felt 24/7. I am not as much of a Star Wars fan as I used to be, but I will admit that I LOVE Sheev Palpatine and I’m not afraid to say it.

Number 2. Bowser (Super Mario Bros Movie) - Bowser here is as accurate to the source material as he’s always been, with one small tweak. He’s still goofy, intimidating, and a simp for Peach, but the biggest difference here is that this take on the Koopa King is much crueler than he is in canon, which makes sense because he ain’t a father yet. He casually kills his own koopas, intended to dunking his prisoners into a pit of lava during his ‘wedding’ with Peach as TRIBUTE to her (Bro that ain’t how that works!), threatened to DESTROY the Mushroom Kingdom if Peach didn’t marry him, and almost went through with it if it weren’t for Mario! Also Jack Black KILLED IT in this role! THIS is how a video game villain should be adapted into a movie.

Number 3. Green Goblin (Rami Spider-Man Trilogy) - The MCU can try all they want, but they ain’t surpassing Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin. Norman Osborn here is pretty much portrayed accurately, despite being more pitiable in the trilogy. He’s a bad father, and the owner of a big time corporation, who’s more focused on securing his own success, that just so happens to view Peter Parker as a son. Then he drank an experimental super soldier formula, and got super strength and advanced agility at the cost of his sanity. Now he has two personalities, the “bad but not that bad” Norman Osborn, and the downright devious Green Goblin, who Norman is AFRAID of but also entranced by. The Goblin in these movies are honestly the best take on him to ever exist because he’s the perfect amount of dark due to his actions, fractured mental state, and every last word he speaks being so vile, but at the same time Gobby looks really ridiculous and is a meme machine. I also like the Jekyll and Hyde situation here, where instead of it being a “Normal guy”and his “impulses,” it’s a bad man and his own evil. What can I say other than best comic book movie villain ever.

Number 4. Death/The Wolf (Puss In Boots) - The best take on The Grim Reaper. Inevitable, terrifying, enigmatic, cruel to those who try and delay the inevitable, etc.

Number 5. The Riddler/Edward Nashton (The Batman 2023) - I expected Matt Reeves to make the Riddler an egotistical manchild of a serial killer with a Zodiac Killer design, a very high intellect, and saw style puzzles. I NEVER expected a catholic, terrorist, cult leader Riddler that looked up to a young and angry Year-Two Batman. EVERYTHING about him screams “The Lord will wipe these heathens away and Batman will help us,” yet at the same time it works so well. Sure, he has this whole chaotic cult leader vibe to him, but at his core, he’s still egotistical, he thinks he has all the answers, when in reality he’s just a pissbaby who’s lashing out at the world. Despite how different this take on Riddler is, Paul Dano and Matt Reeves did this character justice.

Number 6. Dr Robotnik (The Sonic Movies) - Jim Carrey’s traditional over-the-top nature works so well with Robotnik that it’s criminal. And the best part is that it doesn’t take away how much of a threat he is in the slightest!

Number 7. Sauron (Lord Of The Rings Trilogy) - Despite appearing in these movies as just a flaming eye, Sauron has a firm grip on the entire narrative through this flaming eye, and The One Ring. No matter where the main cast goes in Middle Earth, Sauron’s shadow is always looming. An accurate adaptation of Tolkien’s biggest evil.

Number 8. Judge Frollo (The Hunchback of Notre Dame) - One of the 3 Disney movie villains that I enjoy, and LOATHE. Frollo is a monster who sees himself as some pure and noble figure, and this is evident through his actions and beliefs alone. This guy tried killing a baby Quasimoto because of how hideous he was, and the only thing that stopped him was the fear of not being “pure,” so he raised the boy in the Notre Dame Cathedral’s bell tower and basically pretended to be his friend. Also lets not forget about his hatred of the Romani and the fact that he LUSTED over Esmeralda, while also hating her! BRUH YOU HAVE PROBLEMS! Well thankfully karma slaps him directly in the face as he dies falling into literal hellfire of his own creation, looking like a complete and utter devil. He was a great villain for the movie, but aside from that GOOD RIDDANCE YOU PIECE OF HUMAN GARBAGE.

Number 9. Colonel Muska (Castle In The Sky) - The only pure evil villain Hayato Miyazaki has written, and I can easily say that he sticks out in a way that a good villain should, while also being a huge steaming pile of shit.

Number 10. Koba (Planet of The Apes Trilogy) - Making a Bonbono a tragic, yet downright heinous villain is pure genius.

#emperor palpatine #sheev palpatine #darth sidious #bowser #green goblin #norman osborn #death #The wolf #the riddler #dr eggman #dr robotnik #sauron #claude frollo #colonel muska #koba #villains #ranking #(one behind the mask) Mun Izunia

Some positive things, widespread and personal, from 2023

Hello all here's my annual good things roundup, and as always I'll be missing a good lot of stuff that happened bc I'm pulling from the top of my head and also I'm running late.

In no particular order:

Some great indie animation stuff this year, with Hazbin Hotel news and episodes of Helluva Boss continuing and then the Lackadaisy pilot and fundraising campaign success!

Got the end of The Owl House early in 2023, and while it was not the ending we all would have hoped for, it was an incredible ending all the same and absolutely so well made.

Avatar: The Last Airbender has a new official TTRPG game, several of the OG cast did a playthrough of it, AND the trailer for the live action TV series doesn't look half bad! Also, Toph's VA has been reacting to the series. Overall it's been a great year for ATLA fans.

CLAMP announced that the continuation of the CCS Clear Card anime is on its way, and the Clear Card manga finished this year! The kids are okay!

Game movie wins! Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, along with The Super Mario Bros. Movie, were both great adaptations and fun movies where previously adapted movies of the same properties were so awful they make Artemis Fowl look barely passable!

Spiderman: Across the Spiderverse was super freaking incredible cinema and stupendous animation and score. And the animators got a break from having to cram the Beyond the Spiderverse movie in a year jfc.

The WGA and SAGAFTRA strikes I wouldn't consider positives on their own; however, the overwhelming solidarity across the lines and from us the fans and everyone in the same working boat helped the WGA and SAGAFTRA strikers stick it to the studio execs being literal cartoonish villains and get the things they were asking for after a brutally long strike period where the studio execs absolutely wanted them all to lose their homes and suffer. Power to the workers! WGA and SAGAFTRA strong!

BARBIE. No notes. 100000/10. You go girl.

But also the meme of Barbenheimer, absolutely genius.

GOOD OMENS SEASON 2!!!! HOOO BOY Neil Gaiman really shook us to the core with these ineffable celestial lads

The Marvels was a lot of fun! Kamala Khan and adult Monica Rambeau finally got to the big screen and they were so good altogether with Carol Danvers! Sadly didn't get great box office, but the movie itself being good makes up for that in my eyes!

Wonka was also a lot better than expected! Very fun and wholesome and heartwarming! Not bad Timothee Chalamet, not bad.

Critical Role's The Legend of Vox Machina season 2 was incredible, and a Mighty Nein animated series was also announced to be in the works! Plus, we got a Mighty Nein live show in London! And Candela Obscura premiered this year as well! And the Exquisite Exandria cookbook dropped in August and it's been so amazing.

Dimension 20 has been popping off this year as well, and several of its cast started Worlds Beyond Number, which is on a whole other level of inspirational and awesome.

On some personal notes, I got to spend time with good friends this past year (and getting one into TLOVM and Critical Role too, which has been fun)

And in that vein, I got into a bonafide Dungeons and Dragons campaign this summer, based from a oneshot I played in April by putting myself out there and trying something new. And man, this campaign has been one of the best things in 2023 let alone maybe my whole life. I'm so grateful to be a part of it and to keep going.

And this past summer, I got to go to a convention and meet several of my favorite actors including the cast of Smallville, Charlie Cox, Dante Basco, and Jason Liebrecht! It was so much fun.

I spent my birthday with my whole immediate family and went to Disney Hollywood Studios and had such a blast!

And I started more actively sending my writing out to litmags! While nothing has been accepted yet, I am ever more determined to be published!

There is much more good that happened in 2023 but for now, this is a good sample to end the year and beckon the new one forth with the same and even more positive vibes.

People are like “Oh Mario’s always been an isekai, since the 80s!” And it’s true! In the original Mario Bros. Arcade game and in the Super Mario Bros Super Show, he and Luigi are plumbers from Brooklyn!

But only in those two properties. It hasn’t been an integral part of Mario canon since then and it’s basically been retconned! In fact, plenty of other games have even shown Mario as a baby! He’s basically just a guy from the Mushroom Kingdom. His backstory is that he has none, but no one really cares.

If anything, it’s weird that illumination is going this route cuz they’re effective basing their movies canon off of an arcade game that most people haven’t played, especially their target demographic, and a TV show from the 90s that most people only remember for the memes.

EDIT: I don’t want any feedback on this, I don’t care if Nintendo decided this or Illumination or whatever, legit just 3 am ramblings after a sleepless night. That said, I doubt Nintendo decided the whole isekai, Brooklyn thing. Remember y’all, isekai is a common trope to get people to understand a new world the audience isn’t familiar with. That’s why it’s been done a bajillion times. In fact, the live action Mario film is an isekai, too. And we all know how good that movie is.

I know everybody's excited about the Mario movie trailer coming out today! I can already smell the meme material, like a freshly baked banana cream pie, from a mile away.

But however good or bad the trailer comes out to be, I just want to remind y'all to be nice.

If Chris Pratt's Mario voice sounds awful, then we can laugh at it, sure! But let's not point fingers at the actual guy and mock him to no end-- he's just doing his job as an actor. Not everything has to be political, especially not a film based off such a quirky and fun video game franchise as the Mario series. The same goes for the other actors in this movie.

If the art and story direction is terrible, it'll make everything all the cheesier. Let's not beat up the Nintendo execs or Illumination staff, let's just embrace the weirdness. Make memes laughing at the corny set design. Laugh at the barely-comprehensible plot. But don't laugh at the folks behind the curtain.

And hey, this movie might turn out to be good! You never know! But either way, both sides-- the creators and the consumers, us, are trying to have fun. So let's keep everything fun, lighthearted, and conflict-free.

Have fun with the Direct, guys! I'll see you on the flip side. 😎

'Where would the 2023 box office be without the bomb and the bombshell?

“Barbenheimer” may have started as a meme, but the two seemingly different blockbusters with twin release dates became the moviegoing phenomenon of the year. All that social media chatter translated into ticket sales (and then some), with the Warner Bros. comedy “Barbie” capping off 2023 as the highest-grossing movie ($1.44 billion) and Universal‘s historical biopic “Oppenheimer” as the third-biggest hit (a staggering $951 million).

Studios were (finally!) rewarded for bucking the overly familiar and embracing the new and novel. Remarkably, the top three movies of the year — Universal’s animated “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” ranks as No. 2 with $1.35 billion — were original properties. Sure, “Barbie” is based on the world-famous doll, Mario is arguably video games’ greatest mascot and J. Robert Oppenheimer is a real person who changed the course of history. So even if they weren’t whole-cloth creations, these movies weren’t sequels or part of pre-existing film franchises. And, on paper, none were foregone box office winners...

UNIVERSAL

Highs: “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” ($1.36 billion), “Oppenheimer” ($951 million), “Five Nights at Freddy’s” ($289 million), “M3GAN” ($180 million) Lows: “Fast X” ($704 million), “Book Club: The Next Chapter” ($29 million), “Renfield” ($26 million), “The Last Voyage of the Demeter” ($21.8 million) Grade: A Takeaways: What a year! Two of the 2023’s three biggest hits, “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” and “Oppenheimer,” belong to Universal. Meanwhile, “M3GAN,” a $12 million movie that made $180 million, as well as “Five Nights at Freddy’s,” which converted its $20 million budget into $289 million globally, were two of the most profitable. What makes it more impressive is that Universal doesn’t have the deep library of IP that Warner Bros. or Disney commands. Instead, the studio assembled its killer lineup by leaning into everything from historical biopics to low-budget horror flicks and video game adaptations, most of them arriving without a Roman numeral in their title. Points for creativity and execution...'

The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! (1989)

youtube

The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! (1989)

Director: Dan Riba

Technique

The Mario brothers show is fully animated with color and sound, and a surprising addition of live action scenes.

Representation

This show has a lot of weird moments, for example Link and Zelda being present in this show, live action segments, and sitcom moments galore. The show had 65 episodes, airing from September 4 to December 1st, with each episode ranging from 20 to 22 minutes.

The brothers are Italian-American plumbers from Brooklyn, whereupon trying to fix a bathtub drain, they're teleported into the world of the mushroom kingdom, and must team up with Princess Toadstool (now known as Princess Peach) and Toad to thwart King Koopa's (now known as Bowser) evil plans.

The show plot parodies books, movies, or historical events, with the group often getting up to shenanigans.

Reception

Based off the reception from then and now, The Mario Bros became a meme with the younger generation, but when it first came out, nobody really liked the show. A lot of feedback on the show is mostly about how it tried to do too much at the same time, and the show was just odd in general.

Fun Fact! The first Super Mario Bros Movie was so abhorrently bad, that Nintendo actually withheld the rights to Mario for years!

Nonsensical HxH Headcanons

In honor of me finishing the show, here are random headcanons that I have decided are completely accurate... to me.

Gon’s favorite movie is the entire Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, and Killua’s is the Star Wars franchise. They fight over this daily.

Hisoka once got caught dancing to “I Can’t Stop Me” by Twice in the forest by an unfortunate civilian, so he killed them.

He’s also a regular at a nail salon and gets along surprisingly well with the nail artists.

Kurapika’s sole weakness is peanuts. He has a severe peanut allergy.

Leorio is the same with lactose, but this doesn’t stop him from consuming dairy products almost daily.

Illumi is the best at Mario Kart, and this is 100% based off of how he drives.

Leorio probably takes years to order at restaurants and holds up the line, so no one likes going out to eat with him.

Gon and Killua had a huge Five Nights at Freddy’s phase and tried to film let’s plays. And then Illumi and Hisoka found their YouTube channel.

OMG AND THEY HAD ZUSHI AS A SPECIAL GUEST TOO AND IT WAS SO BAD BC THEY ALL KEPT DYING KFHDKB.

Bisky has won multiple triathlons and marathons, and has stickers from them all over her car.

She is also a local at the yoga studio. Probably teaches there, too. What I’m trying to say is that she’s one of those super fit, healthy moms and wears tacky shirts to prove it.

Leorio and Zepile meet up once a month to play Monopoly and get absolutely shit-faced drunk, which results in them arguing the next morning about who won.

Meruem found Fanny packs and won’t shut up about them.

This isn’t really a headcanon, but I’d like to imagine what would happen if you told Meruem or any of the royal guards a deez nuts joke.

Zeno is a tiktok grandpa. What he does on there is up to your imagination.

Silva was the drummer for a Metallica cover band in his youth.

Illumi sleeps with his eyes open

Hisoka is one of those people to go to Starbucks and order the furthest thing from coffee on the menu.

Illumi is like “dude that shit is WHITE” as he drinks his black coffee with 7 shots of espresso like it’s totally normal.

Ging eats coleslaw.

Leorio and Gon both have to look at their hands to tell left from right.

Killua doesn’t wear a helmet while skateboarding, and gets mom’d by Kurapika until he puts one on.

The secret way to beat the Chimera Ants is to show them hyper pop music.

Shalnark runs a meme page on Instagram

Chrollo was a WWII kid. He’s more of an American Revolution kind of guy, now.

Feitan is secretly a SoundCloud rapper. Everyone is too afraid to tell him that he’s just not fit for the role.

The Phantom Troupe play Cards Against Humanity together (except for Kalluto bc Illumi won’t let him). I think the most frequent winner would be between Feitan and Uvogin.

Chrollo texts like an old dad, perfect grammar and everything. It’s really easy to mock him over text.

Playing fetch with Mike is off limits at the Zoldyck house, due to too many casualties resulting from the activity.

Knuckle’s favorite movie is The Notebook. No one lets him pick on movie nights.

By some miracle, every picture Tonpa takes is fucking horrendous. It’s almost like a nen ability at this point.

Alluka is a Barbie movie connoisseur

Kite has seen every single Law & Order episode. He’d also win if he ever got on Jeopardy.

Unless Pariston is also there. Then, there would be bloodshed.

Kite also has Advil and Ibuprofen on him at all times. And stomach medicine. He has a sensitive stomach.

Ging does not trust any form of media produced after the 20th century.

Let me know if you have any more silly headcanons, bc these are really fun to make ♡

#hunter x hunter #hxh #hxh headcanons #anime #gon freecss #killua zoldyck #hisoka morow #illumi zoldyck #the phantom troupe #I’m really sad about finishing hxh #like I’m starting demon slayer but my heart still felt empty when I finished #feitan #shalnark ryusei #uvogin #pariston hill

Coco (and Lulu’s) Legacy

Coco wrote the book on how to be a Hololive member, from front to back. She plotted out how one can amass an audience, how to interact and build a worldwide fandom, how to integrate ideas of the audience to the grand narrative of the company, how to deal with tee-tee and pairings, how to cope when YouTube strikes you down in its impunity, and how to cope when Cancel Brigade comes to destroy your work, along with how to bring a more cohesive workplace, how to protect yourself from the unmooring of identity that is inherent in VTube, and finally how to leave when you are in a rollercoaster that is only going up. Coco wrote the book and now we follow.

AsaCoco was brilliant from its outset. Having a place to know the ins and outs of various members of Hololive was a great way to connect the rabbit hole. But there is a deeper reason for the brilliance. I talked before about how the major tension in VTube is one between the corporate back-end tradition of Japan colliding with the audience front-end tradition of YouTube. AsaCoco is something directly in line with that second tradition. The visual language of YouTube is different from those of movies. A jump cut in a movie denotes a different idea than a jump cut on YouTube. Movie critic complaining about jump cuts in vlogs is like a Spanish reader complaining about a sentence in English being awkward. Of course it is, it’s in a different language. Unlike movies, which come from theatre and literature, vlogs’ lineage comes from news broadcasts. Many of the early web successes were styled in a news format (rocketboom, Ze Frank, What the Buck and so on…) One does not complain about the jump cut between different presenters in a newscast, and so one does not complain when a similar thing happens in vlogs. But the point is that AsaCoco harkens to the audience-based tradition.

One might write off the ARK arc as an aberration, but I think ARK did add something constructive to Hololive and VTubers as a whole. I like to think of ARK as a training wheel for Minecraft. Minecraft is relatively challenging compared to ARK. Minecraft speedruns are mildly impressive, ARK speedrun less so. ARK is actually like the middle ground between Monster Hunter and Minecraft. You can play ARK like Monster Hunter, gather a bunch of friends to hunt monsters, or like Minecraft, build your own zoo or house or so on… And in that flexibility, one can easily learn how to tell a compelling narrative in an open-world setting. Pekora’s war criminal tendencies developed there, Miko’s ‘pon’ nature was crystalized there, and so on…

Holohouse was an underrated achievement. At first, the idea feels like the natural extension of their idol nature. Idols live together, so why not virtual idols? But having virtual idols living together comes with additional benefits that Nijisanji should note.

Stalking is an awful thing, I know since I experienced and have done something similar in my past, but stalking is also a desperate thing. And desperation tends to abate when people are more open about themselves. One of the articles talking about Coco’s graduation infamously notes the mystery of Coco’s identity, which is chucklesome since Coco’s identity might be the most open secret in all of Hololive. This was in line with Hololive’s more open policy, several of Hololive members do their own personal work on the side, while in many early companies, this was forbidden. Nijisanji’s background is less open than Hololive, perhaps due to the number and less mass attention, and that leads to stalking being a more adventurous one. One that livers have to deal with more alone, while for Hololive, it’s likely people would catch and perhaps even tar the perpetrator. More attention means more risk with less excitement.

Holohouse also protects aggressive fan behavior by introducing VTuber solidarity. With more offline collabs, the people would know each other more personally and therefore have a ground of contacts in which to alert suspicious behavior. Safety in numbers.

Holohouse also brought us KanaCoco, which was a lesser known pairing until the couple ring story, and now it has become one of three big couples of Hololive, the other two being NoeFlare and OkaKoro. The big three all have a different style of their tee tee. KanaCoco is the type of a longtime buddy. Both Kanata and Coco struggled with familial and economic circumstances, and they are both struggling under the same roof. And within that struggle comes comity and friendship. It’s not love in your typical sense, but it is a type that would lead to marriage and childrens… but the current LBGTQ+ status in Japan is pretty bad, so tee tee and hush hush it is.

In a sense, KanaCoco provides for an excellent cover. It is one of the most inspiring portrayals of woman-woman friendships in media and it would be one of the more enduring aspect of Coco’s legacy as it passes down through the generations.

[Note: This somehow became an apologia of the past week. Well, I do like to show my thinking with my behavior, perhaps to my detriment, so… just be warned.]

For the past week, I was hyping about the fact that Gura passed Kizuna Ai to become the most-subscribed VTuber. And I made the point, not through immaturity, but because I realized this coincided with Coco’s graduation. Without Coco, there wouldn’t be Hololive English, or Gawr Gura, and therefore this event would not have happened. This, therefore, was one of the last great accomplishments of Coco. An indelible mark of her foresight and perseverance. A realization of her plans. So, in a sense, this was one of my ways of celebrating Coco’s career, albeit in an admittedly twisted way.

But beyond Hololive English, there was the famous Meme Review, which has a weak lineage with the early meme review series from PewDiePie. Now for the digression, whoever ends up at the top gives us a flavor for that specific era, since one naturally assumes success means finesse and would try to emulate the style. Vlogbrother’s visual style and mannerism was largely lifted from Ze Frank. PBS Idea Channel famously emulated Ray William Johnson’s background to his own ends. And Kizuna Ai was famously inspired by PewDiePie at several points in her career. Which is why PewDiePie’s Congratulations felt right as a tribute. One of the big shared characteristics of the two was the lonely years at the top. PewDiePie is probably going to be longest reigning ‘King’ of YouTube for a while (of course, depends on if Cocomelon catches T-Series in due time) and at the time his reign was abnormally long. Most people hold onto the top spot for a year or two, so it felt odd that PewDiePie was untouchable for so long. Similar things must have been raised for Kizuna Ai as well. Many people must have felt that Kizuna Ai just did not represent VTubers at the current time.

So, when competition showed up, of course people were excited. It felt like it was time. I believe PewDiePie’s Congratulations was not a simple diss track, although it’s formatted like one, just due to the culture at the time. So the hypothetical Kizuna Ai version would be extremely light-hearted. The ‘diss’ would be your typical “she’s short”, “she’s hydrodynamic” and so on… it would be clear there is no actual bad blood, and the song would be welcoming of the new era. Era, as I said before, brought on by Coco.

Back to the Meme Review, meme review was great as it centered reddit as the base for the fandom, rather than twitter, which is a horrible platform to bring a sense of communal welcomeness. Reddit is probably the best functional place for stuff like this, even though we all know it has its host of problems that needs to be resolved.

What is the most important stream in Hololive? Well, some people would point to Aqua and Coco’s The Raft stream, which is a poignant encapsulation of a stream. The dramatic counterweight to the other greatest stream in Hololive, Korone’s all-english Mario stream. Aqua and Coco are always the odd pairing, but it could have worked, and it might have been beneficial. Aqua is one of the most shy people in Hololive, and Mio is already busy with Ayame and Subaru, so the best person might have been Coco.

But China. There were two big beneficiaries from China in Hololive, one was Fubuki and the other was Aqua. While Fubuki, in Coco’s last months, famously went out of her way to intertwine herself with Coco to directly redirect her audience, like the mensch she is, Aqua always struggled with her audience retention, therefore played shy with Coco.

Edit: Well, my initial final impression was… what a wonderful finish. The interview portion was well-meant, but honestly a little formal. When the 4th Gen went together, is when the stream turned into something special for me, and the final performance was actually really well-done. Coco went out like an idol, which makes sense. For whatever provocation Coco perpetuated, Coco only did them out of love. And ultimately Cover knew that. Coco’s final month was a warning and a reminder.

Can I talk about all the different tributes lately? In some sense, Usaken Summer Festival is part of this… for an organization that is immensely popular, I just adore how Cover and their talent always has this drive to throw everything and see if it works. I noticed this during Golden Week. Golden Week in Hololive was jam packed. There were great events, Mio’s morning stream was astounding, leading to one of biggest growth spurt for Mio. Miko’s drawing collab was absolutely hilarious, for such a simple and seemingly hastily put idea. One of the people in a forum commented on this and affixed something that left my mind… what did Nijisanji during the same week? Even I was surprised by how little Nijisanji did that Golden week. They barely did anything!

The innovative spirit does give them trouble, more than it is worth, but Cover never really stopped its momentum, even when most other companies would have stopped a long time ago! This is the greatest thing about Hololive and Cover, the most redeeming feature. One that would serve them well. Coco wrote the playing book, let us pray that Cover sticks to them, because the fall of Cover comes the moment they stray.

The Pre-Coco era was about a company struggling to get their idea through. The Coco era was about writing the playing book. So the Post-Coco era will be about remembrance, it’ll be a struggle to keep the memory of what the playing book is. It’ll be about them being Hololive as they become part of the global zeitgeist.

🤍 + ella & danny xoxo

send me a ship and i'll tell you who does what! accepting.

WHO COOKS MEALS FOR THE OTHER?

ella!!! she loves to cook and almost always has some kind of homemade meal ready when he gets home. even if it's a late night, she'll leave a lil note on the counter telling him there's food in the fridge ready to be heated up for him to eat.

WHO SPAMS THE OTHER WITH MEMES?

i feel like they both would but they have wildly different tastes in their memes lmao. it's very niche humor based on their own little inside jokes but danny keeps her update on the Current Trends.

WHO LIKES TO TIDY AROUND THE HOUSE?

ella probably the most but danny helps to keep things relatively clean. but if he leaves one more shirt beside the hamper rather than inside of it she is going to 🔪

WHO LIKES TO PLAY PRANKS ON THE OTHER?

danny for sure, he's always got something to tease her about. they also get into a ton of shenanigans together so i feel like with them, their two brains together for a prank is better than one.

WHO ASKED THE OTHER TO MOVE IN WITH THEM?

i feel like no one really asked honestly!!! at some point when spook! leaves on their tour, ella just kind of tells him that he doesn't need to worry about keeping his own place or anything because he can just stay with her when he's back at home. from there it just kinda becomes a thing 🥺

WHO IS IN CHARGE OF THE MUSIC DURING A CAR RIDE?

danny objectively has better taste in music, but since ella can't drive and she's always shotgun, she's got control of the playlist.

WHO IS MORE LIKELY TO TICKLE THE OTHER MERCILESSLY?

danny >:( and although ella grumbles about it she does like that sort of Brand of teasing from him. if he needs information out of her, it's the easiest way to get it. she'll sing like a canary.

WHO NEEDS TO HOLD THE OTHER DURING A SCARY MOVIE?

scary movies are normally off-limits but the rare occasion is happens....... it's just both of them playing tough guy while clinging to the other not even ten minutes in.

WHO HAS TO HELP THE OTHER WHEN IT COMES TO TECHNOLOGY?

ella is good with more, sort of, old fashioned things i suppose? like she has a lot of useless knowledge that most people don't really need until it comes up in a random setting, so danny definitely has to help her out sometimes. the idea of them yelling at each other from the other room about how to change the input on the tv is hilarious to me.

WHO LIKES TO GET A BIT FRISKY / INAPPROPRIATE IN A PUBLIC SETTING?

ella is inclined to say that it's danny but do not let her fool you, she is absolutely the one who initiates it. he gets a little handsy and it's absolutely because she's been whispering things to him the entire night that only escalated that.

WHO WAKES UP FIRST, AND DO THEY WAKE UP THE OTHER OR LET THEM REST?

ella is an early bird and really doesn't sleep much to begin with. on nights where danny has a late night, she absolutely tries to let him sleep in. she just gives him a little smooch on the forehead and gets ready for her day.

WHO IS ALWAYS TAKING PICTURES OF THE OTHER WHEN THEY'RE NOT LOOKING?

i feel like the both do but probably danny the most 🥺 they both have cute pictures of each other on their phone though and ella probably has a picture of him mid-laugh as her phone wallpaper because he's cute.

WHO ALWAYS FORGETS THEIR WALLET AND NEVER PAYS FOR ANYTHING?

neither honestly!!! i feel like when they first start dating, ella usually insists on trying to split the check. she knows it's the "chivalrous" thing to do for the guy to pay on the date, but she feels bad and wants to pull her weight!!! late on in the relationship, they take turns paying.

WHO CAN'T SLEEP BECAUSE THE OTHER SNORES OR MOVES TOO MUCH IN THEIR SLEEP?

ella will never admit to it, but she does kinda snore a little :/ it's only when she's in a deep sleep and exhausted, which doesn't happen that often. she's also a massive cuddler and so she's always adjusting to be kinda close to him when he rolls over in his sleep. it's likely ella is the culprit more often than not lmao

WHO IS BETTER AT VIDEO GAMES, AND DO THEY LET THE OTHER WIN OR SHOW NO MERCY?

danny is probably better at most, but they both get super competitive when it comes to mario kart. danny talks a lot of shit about her using princess peach for how much she kicks his ass though.

WHO ALWAYS GETS UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT TO USE THE RESTROOM AND ACCIDENTALLY WAKES UP THE OTHER?

if anyone, probably danny just because ella is a light sleeper and wakes up with just the slightest sound around her. she'd hear the bathroom door close or see the light from the hall and she'd stir a little.

#dannyreese #i totally forgot i rb'd this meme until i went through my inbox rip #but I LOVE THEM #»»— 003. ( ella & danny ) 𝘪 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘴𝘢𝘸 𝘺𝘰𝘶 ��𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 & 𝘪'��𝘭 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘮𝘦.

College AU Sanders Sides Headcanons

Hey everyone! I’m getting back into writing and I also recently got accepted to college! I’m going to be a biology major :) With all of that going on, I started thinking of some Sanders Sides College AU Headcanons so here we go! Let’s start off by introducing everyone.

Roman Prince: Freshman. 18 years old. He’s a theatre major with a minor in musical composition. In his free time, Roman likes to write fanfiction correcting Disney movies. He also frequently uploads to his YouTube channel which is called RomanticRoman. He mainly does covers and skits. Occasionally, he will do livestreams where he reads his stories.

Logan Berry: Freshman. 17 years old. Logan skipped a year because he’s just that smart. He’s a psychology major with a specialization in teaching. He wants to become a professor. In his free time, Logan shadows the campus counselor, Emile Picani.

Virgil Sanders: Freshman. 18 years old. He’s currently undecided but working towards his degree with an exploratory major. He’s a major procrastinator and spends most of his free time watching YouTube videos. He enjoys conspiracy theories and has started to dip into some ASMR. He’s in the process of starting a podcast.

Patton Rogers: Freshman. 19 years old. He’s a child psychology major with a minor in chemistry because “he likes to mix stuff.” In his free time, Patton likes to bake treats for various clubs and organizations on campus. He also helps a certain sassy sophomore named Remy Stewarts at their coffee startup.

Dee Jones: Junior. 20 years old. He’s majoring in pre-law with a minor in sociology. Dee is the Resident Assistant (RA) for the dorm that the other five all live in. In his free time, Dee is the DM for a campus DnD club. He also likes to visit the small animal center in the veterinary school and feed the snakes.

Remus Prince: Freshman. 18 years old. He’s an english major with a specialization in creative writing. In his free time, Remus likes to prank his brother Roman and his friends. Remus also has a YouTube channel where he specializes in “childhood ruining” facts.

Okay now let’s get to the headcanons!

-Roman, Virgil, Logan, and Patton all live in the same suite-style dorm room. This means they have a common area, bathroom, and two bedroom areas. Roman and Logan are in one room and Patton and Virgil are in the other.

-Remus lives in another dorm room with Remy and two other students. Their room is across the hall from the other four which makes it a prime spot for scouting out pranking information.

-On moving day, Patton was the first to arrive. He made plushies for his three other roommates based on things they said they enjoy on their roommate profiles. He also figured that they might be a source of comfort when the others inevitably started to miss home. Roman got a red dragon wearing a little golden crown. Logan got a robot wearing a labcoat with NASA patches on it. Virgil got a blackbear wearing a purple-patched hoodie.

-When Virgil moved in and saw all of Patton’s pastel pillows and rainbow potted houseplants, he took one look at the MCR poster in his hands and wondered if this was going to work out. However, when Patton came in and saw that they both had fairy lights to hang, they became fast friends while helping each other set them up. Patton actually laughed at Virgil’s edgy humor while Virgil seemed to enjoy Patton’s puns.

-Roman brought about 5 Costco-sized packs of ramen noodles with him and his own personal coffee maker. Remus was behind him threatening to drop his video camera out the nearest window. Roman simply rolled his eyes and moved the rest of his stuff in.

-Logan was the last to show up. He brought a big stack of textbooks and an array of extra supplies that his roommates would go on to “borrow” from for the next four years. Meeting Roman was pretty anticlimactic.

Logan: Is that Shakespeare on your desk?

Roman: *Looking up from doing his makeup in a lightbulb mirror* Yes.

Logan: Cool.

-Things didn’t stay that chill for too long though. Roman and Logan frequently got into arguments about everything.

Logan: Roman for the last time, eating a cup of instant ramen does not automatically make you a more cultured person!

Roman: Okay… but have you tried an egg in it though?

-Patton quickly becomes like the dad of the group. He loves taking care of his friends and it definitely shows. However, they didn’t quite get his parental nature at first.

Patton: Okay kiddo time to get up from your nap and do your homework!

Virgil: Kiddo? Patton you’re like three months older than me.

-However, Virgil and Patton soon started to understand each other more. Virgil knew about Patton’s caring nature and Patton started to learn how badly Virgil procrastinated and got stressed. This led to them coming up with a sort of rules and rewards system. Patton would start saying things like “Okay Virge if we get our math homework done in the next twenty minutes then we can have a cookie and watch YouTube for 30 minutes.”

-Platonic cuddling also proved to be a way to help get rid of Virgil’s anxiety about his future. It was hard to ask him for things like that back home. He was able to trust Patton though so it’s enjoyable for both of them.

-Virgil has trouble sleeping at night after hours of doing homework and trying to get himself to do said homework. Dee was in the hallway one day and heard Virgil telling Logan about this problem while chugging an energy drink. The next day, Virgil had a package waiting on his desk. It was a purple weighted blanket with black spider print on it. Virgil has been sleeping better ever since.

-Logan recognized Roman from YouTube and remembered a few of the technical and research problems that he had with the channel. Logan begins helping Roman with scripting, setup, and editing. People start to notice the quality improvement.

-Roman and Logan went viral when they wrote a song about Crofters jam. Logan’s moms send them jam in care packages. After a late night of studying lines for Roman’s theatre assignment, they ate Crofters straight out of the jar with plastic spoons. Logan started humming a melody and Roman sang along until Virgil banged on the wall as a request for them to shut up. They wrote down lyrics until 4 in the morning. They recorded the video the next night and it got over 1 million views.

-After the Crofters collab, Logan started to appear more on Roman’s channel. He soon became almost a weekly regular.

-Patton invited Remus and Virgil to his new coffee startup to try some of the drinks in order to name them. Remus had some… creative suggestions (some involving horrid ways to use milk), which Remy and Patton immediately shot down. Virgil’s best idea was “Strawberry Survival” for an energy drink with a sugared berry taste and energy boost.

-Dee was able to recruit Roman, Remus, Virgil, and Logan to his DnD club. This is how the club meetings usually go. Roman wants to roll to marry every character. Remus rolls to seduce every living and nonliving element of the game. He then rolls to kill every living and nonliving element of the game. Virgil just thinks of more and more creative ways to try and eliminate his own character. Logan is just whining the whole time that nobody is playing correctly. Dee just tiredly says, “Roman you cannot kiss the villain. Remus you cannot fuck the rock. Virgil that cat cannot rip your heart out. And Logan, here’s $10. Go get me a coffee and chill out. I cannot wait until I’m 21 and can block out you little shits with straight vodka.” Though he’s exasperated, Dee really enjoys the meetings. He just won’t tell the truth.

-Virgil starts his podcast halfway through the year. People immediately love his sarcastic, yet calming, voice. He does a mixture of things on his show. Sometimes he just talks about calm things with Patton while they bake in the school kitchens. Sometimes he broadcasts the DnD sessions. By far his most popular is the segment “Dumb Debates” that he does with Logan where people send in meme questions and they each pick a side and argue about it. A chair might’ve been thrown during “Is water wet?”

-Roman and Logan solve every argument with a rap battle. They sometimes vlog it for Youtube. Four way arguments are solved through a Mario Kart tournament. Everyone always tries to get too technical with the best tricks except for Patton who almost always wins.

Those are basically it for now! Comments and likes are appreciated. Let me know if you want more headcanons or would like to see a fic out of any of these situations. Take care everyone and I’ll be back with more soon!
