So I watched Fate/Kaleid Liner Prisma Illya

Who the hell is this show catered to? It's 2013, Fate/Stay Night obtains massive success among teens and young adults. Fate is originally an ero visual novel and its adaptions are clearly aimed at teens or older audience. Fate/Stay Night is a bit of a harem on it's own as the story changes based on who Shirou chooses to be with.

Fate/Kaleid Liner is a magical girl story though. It does feature a lot of the same characters as Fate/Stay night, but it's a completely different story. It's like the most childish friendship story I've seen. That alone was weird, but there's an extra annoying factor I can't ignore. There's hella lolicon fanservice in this.

I've actually already seen this anime, I watched it a really long time ago because of a single cool fight scene I saw on youtube. When I watched the actual anime I despised it and upon rewatch the feeling didn't change.

Let's say you're tolerant of the lolicon fanservice in a show seemingly made for little girls, would this anime be good?

Well, if you're a fan of Fate this anime will give Rin and Luviagelita a lot more screentime. These two barely got to interact at all in the Fate/Stay Night anime adaptions and they're genuinely entertaining together. These two at each others necks at almost all times and that rivalry between them is used to get this story started.

Before I get to that though.....that's mostly it. There's some good comedy sprinkled around in the anime and there's that one really well animated fight scene. That's the only other good things about this anime. The story is garbage, the world building is no good, and the characters can be pretty awful.

So, Rin and Luvia use magic wands to transform and fight monsters. However, they use these wands to fight with each other as well. The wands had enough of their fighting and decide to find new masters instead of putting up with their bullshit.

These magic wands go by the name Ruby and Sapphire and are characters have plenty of personality of their own. Ruby then finds Illya (the main character) wishing to have magical powers to herself and decides to grant her wish and make Illya a magical girl....without Illya's consent.

Ruby throws Illya into this magical business without any explanation of what she is getting into. In the context of Fate/Kaleid Liner, Illya is just some middle school kid and now she has to risk her life fighting monsters now that Ruby made her a magical girl. The audience is supposed to be okay with this.

Ruby rarely gets any consequences for her terrible actions. In fact, they get framed as a good thing thanks to the message this anime terribly tries to convey. Fate/Kaleid wants to show how friendship and teamwork is important. You look out for your friends and you work together to accomplish your goals.

Rin and Luvia are meant to be examples of what happens when you have terrible teamwork....but this never actually happens? Yes, they do fight amongst themselves and constantly insult each other, but whenever they need to work together to defeat the enemy they always do. There's even a moment where the magic wands temporarily return to Rin and Luvia so they can defeat an enemy and they suddenly become shining examples of teamwork (while also insulting each other).

Why not actually show them lose? Show them getting their ass kicked cause they're bickering with each other and then the magic wands leave them. If Rin and Luvia were already capable of working together that means Illya had even less reason to get forced into this by Ruby.

There's another girl named Miyu that gets involved with magical stuff too but, she's actually fine as a character. She has actual motivations for being involved and her character is handled....fine.

Except Illya sexually assaults Miyuwhen she sees her with a maid outfit. This is presented as a joke......they are middleschoolers.

It's totally not gay though cause Illya's in love with her brother.......

It's totally okay though he's adopted (the brother is Shirou).

Why is there yuri bait in this show ToTaLLy aimed at young girls? Not allowed to be gay in 2013 magical girl anime I guess.

Problematic topics aside, let's talk production! Silver Link handles the animation work here. They do a fairly good job. There's some CG animation that is done mostly fine at least until they started animating Berserker with CG.

Yeah, the "monsters" are actually the servants in Fate/Stay Night. The fight with Saber is the one where the animators popped off with an incredible fight scene. It felt like Ufotable's animators suddenly showed up just so they can do a cool fight scene with Saber and then left.

I wish I could say the fight as a whole was cool though. Story-wise, Illya gets a completely bullshit powerup out of nowhere in order to defeat Saber. Clearly the powerup has some kind of plot relevance, but it doesn't get explained in this season (there's 3 seasons).

I've heard the other seasons for Fate/Kaleid Liner are an improvement, but that doesn't excuse the mess the first season is. For Fate fans you get some Rin and Luvia action along with some servants getting some neat fight scenes (especially Saber). Overall though, the first season of this anime is cringe.

Oh gosh okay so I went back to marinating more on long haired Jihoon, but specifically long haired Jihoon getting pegged has me chewing on the bars of my enclosure to get out

Like just think of how pretty he'd look when he's on all fours and your fucking into him!! His chest blushed and heaving from how needy he is for you and the way your touch just feels so good and electric running along your skin! Your fingers then threading through his hair to pull his head up to see his thoroughly fucked out and flushed face in the mirror you placed in front of the bed. His eyes rolling back into his skull as cute little whimpers and cries slip from his lips when you brush your lips along his shoulder and licking up his neck before nibbling on his earlobe. Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh and even the louder moans he'd make if you gripped his cheeks in your hands and pounded him into the mattress, his back arching so nicely that you can't help but run a hand up his spine and wrap his long hair around your fist while he trembled underneath you whimpering about how he's gonna cum. Your eyes dropping down to watch his slick hole swallowing your strap on with ease from being played with for so long before getting bent over. Jihoon's whines getting louder from hand slipping between his thighs to jerk off his leaky cock until he's releasing spurts onto the sheets under him. Tears springing from his eyes as you fuck him at a harder and faster pace until he was left gasping for air, his thighs shaking from keeping his ass up when your strap slips out of his trembling hole and a relieved smile on his face as you cooed about how good he was for you, and how he looks so pretty all fucked out like this between kisses along his spine

#seventeen smut #woozi smut #jihoon smut #i'm sorry i'm back in my geto jihoon thoughts of him with some long hair. like long ass hair like him and this started cuz #i saw a post on ig from the alley saying that they'll have more jjk merch coming soon and i really wanna get the keychains #especially since my slutty little toji is included too like oh my god #but yeah i think i might be good enough to try writing again but bit by bit #mostly cuz the ways i've been coping with stress and anxiety hasn't been as effective but writing this has helped me calm down a bit #and get me focused on something else cuz i've had too many peer reviews that i think i should probably get assessed by a doctor soon #but yee ya girl sammy is making baby steps of a return rn since writing this didn't feel draining at all and it made me so happy!!!#this shit has me feeling like austin powers when he got his mojo back lmaooooo #m:jihoon

im so predictable. time skip huntlow

[ID: a digital drawing of Hunter and Willow from the owl house in their epilogue designs. The image is a redraw of the "girl kissing guy against a fence" meme. Willow holds Hunter up against a wall of vines and kisses him, while he grabs onto the wall behind him. There's a cartoonist "smooch" onomatopoeia written between the two and the background is orange. End ID]

Had to fulfill this request in the most obnoxious way possible. This is what timeskip Huntlow was made for, in my eyes <3

#the owl house #toh #hunter toh #willow park #huntlow #watching and dreaming #i wasn't originally gonna use my texture brush for the lines #but it got me out of the ''dont wanna go past the sketch in case i ruin it'' stage. so ultimately I'm cool w it #also listen I'm. not good at drawing kisses #i do not understand how 2 draw them. but i tried VERY hard here 😭#yeah she's kinda just kissing his mouth and hes not really kissing back but it's fine. it's in character #i think this is good huntlow art bc when i showed it to izzy she leaned forward until her face touched the screen #and then she started air-punching me #that's a top tier friend review and that's all i need #also no shading bc ha. hahahaha. hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah #no <3 #<- i am very tired <3

I last read...

'Bitterblue' by Kristin Cashore

what I wanted: more greatness and more time with characters I already really like

what I got: that and some solid depth to the story

what I thought: I really enjoyed that this book is not of the "we defeated the evil and now everything is fine" variety but actually goes on to show the aftermath, trauma, and devastation. It makes sense that there is no quick fix and I enjoyed that this book took the time to show that. Plus, it features great characters and fun moments. What I will say is that the main character reads much younger than she is supposed to be, which was annoying at times. Still, I had a great time reading this and rate it 3.75 out of 5 things you actually need to make bread.

#yeah I'm still catching up on reviews back from January #but whatever #I last read #Ilr2023 #mine

R.E.M. in The Bear Season 3 Speculation: Find the River

I started to have another R.E.M. in The Bear Season 3 speculation itch in my brain, this time something Sydney-specific. If she leaves, or gets close to it, I think this is a song that could come into play.

I've long thought that there is kind of a through-line (sonically, at least, if not lyrically (half a world away, and go...)) between this song, Find the River, from Automatic for the People, and Half a World Away, which plays during the Season 2 finale (from Out of Time).

Hey now, little speedyhead The read on the speedmeter says You have to go to task in the city Where people drown and people serve Don't be shy, you're just dessert Is only just light years to go

Me, my thoughts are flower strewn With ocean storm, bayberry moon I have got to leave to find my way Watch the road and memorize This life that pass before my eyes And nothing is going my way

The ocean is the river's goal A need to leave the water knows We're closer now than light years to go

I have got to find the river Bergamot and vetiver Run through my head and fall away Leave the road and memorize This life that pass before my eyes And nothing is going my way

There's no one left to take the lead But I tell you and you can see We're closer now than light years to go Pick up here and chase the ride The river empties to the tide Fall into the ocean

The river to the ocean goes A fortune for the undertow None of this is going my way There is nothing left to throw Of ginger, lemon, indigo Coriander stem and rose of hay

Strength and courage overrides The privileged and weary eyes Of river poet search naïveté Pick up here and chase the ride The river empties to the tide All of this is coming your way

I highlighted two sections of lines...the first ones feel kind of on the nose, but service is such an important theme in the show. The phrase "just desserts" feels weighty to me as well, as is the journey they are on to get The Bear where it's going.

The second set of three lines I highlighted make me think of Sydcarmy...and the selective, careful editing that they do with the music on the show...

#r.e.m. in the bear #the bear music #sydney adamu #the bear season 3 speculation #the bear musical predictions #sydcarmy #also there is such lovely botanical imagery and words in this song #I'm going back through R.E.M.'s discography again #and reviewing all of the copious notes I took when I did my first analysis back in January #I think I'm going to probably have one or two more of these predictions in the next few weeks #still pretty happy with my original Sydcarmy list tbh #(probably) up next: world leader pretend #or let me in (hey yeah yeah hey)#Youtube

the fact that barbie's rotten tomatoes score is 90% and oppenheimer's is 94% says a lot about us as a society.

#raj shitposting #the fact that every person i've conversed with who said they hated barbie actively HATES the fact that i'm a feminist #also what is wrong with politicizing barbie huh? what's wrong with that? weren't action figurines a political thing back in the 00's?#most of the people giving bad reviews about barbie are men.. like okay the film's for everyone but not people who hate women #like people saying they hated barbie because it was about feminism are so dumb like what did you think they were gonna show?#naked margot robbie to EmPoWeR women? that's not what barbie is #also the fact that florence pugh was in oppenheimer literally to have two nude scenes is so infuriating to me like WHY-#she had absolutely NO other contribution in the film except for getting cillian in trouble like wtf #HOLLYWOOD DO FLORENCE SOME JUSTICE SHE'S CAPABLE OF MIDSOMMAR DON'T SHOVE HER DOWN THE DON'T WORRY DARLING PIPELINE #also oppenheimer had the most blaring and anti eardrum sound i've heard in my LIFE-#like ludwig goransson made the PERFECT score and then christopher nolan just fucking RUINED it #also can i just say that oppenheimer is like a screen-copy of a beautiful mind? like is it uncannily like it or is it just me?#like yeah whiplash was an inconspicuous copy of black swan because the elements were more spaced out and stuff #but oppenheimer copies a beautiful mind act for act element for element #idk it's probably just me being crazy #whatever #i still think that barbie a deserved better rating. not in comaprison to oppenheimder but by itself.#oppenheimer #barbenheimer #films #movies #cinema #barbie

hello everyone, as your resident annoying spaniard currently playing pokemon scarlet and violet i wanted to make posts talking about references to my culture within the games!! i don't know how many of these i'll make but yeah, i'm just very excited about all of this, i've been playing pokemon since emerald and i've always wanted a region set in my country :)

i'll post all spoilers under the cut but i have yet to make a tag y'all can block (suggestions are welcome!)

the first obvious reference is of course the players house! even though from the outside it feels more latinamerican than iberian to me (gamefreak has fucked up in some extense regarding that, i'll talk about it don't worry), the inside is clearly spanish

So, that WIP with Maxime that I posted apparently a month ago? This is what it leads up to! Remember when there was a trend of redrawing these haunted house reaction pics? 😆

Started like 4 months ago ( 🥲 ), done in time for the Luminaria Party on Twitter!

Maybe it's just my stupid-o-clock-in-the-morning brain interpreting this the wrong way but I take it that Niime had more confidence in Canas than he did in himself. 🥺
