MAPPA WHEN I SAY WE’RE COMING FOR YOU

#ice adolescence #genuinely crushed at the news of the movie’s cancellation (after years of baiting) #someone save YOI from this abusive/toxic relationship #how could you cancel a masterpiece like yuri on ice #you could have made history #victuuri in our hearts even if MAPPA won’t give it to us #yuri on ice s2 we will see you one day #grief #inhibiting culture #stay strong everyone #comforted we all feel the same #MAPPA tread carefully #maybe focus on making art not money? #how much more suffering can this world take? #maybe give the people what they want? #yuri on ice #victor nikiforov #animation #MAPPA #yuri katsuki #yuri plisetsky #anime

got sent a tiktok where one of our gifs of ourselves was used in the thumbnail + beginning of the video. gentle reminder in case anyone sees this that we're all very uncomfortable with our homemade gifs, esp when it includes us in the video and isnt just of objects, being reuploaded off of tumblr at all :[ ty!!

-🥬

#esp without credit </3 pls dont put your @ over top of one of our homemade gifs #i dont feel too comfy with video/gifs of us being reuploaded off tumblr #we include that disclaimer in all of our homemade gif posts bc of this #ik a lot of people just like. take gifs off pinterest or off stimboards without bothering to check #this is just like a gentle plea to please check the sources on the gifs you use and to properly credit your gifs #theres more to say on this topic than a quick 1am tag rant on a post abt smth else #but theres a really big problem with not checking sources and not crediting within the stim community and especially off of tumblr #like people who just steal off of pinterset and google images and then say 'oh idk i saved this forever ago' or 'its from google' #not to be rude but also fully to be firm its so easy to credit your gifs and sources it takes us maybe 20 minutes at most to link a board #and its so easy when you go in with the intent to link it. just like the posts you download gifs from or open them in another tab #if youre using desktop firefox has such a quick extention to reverse image search and the results will pull up the original post+ #+or the tags on a post that used the same gif to make it so easy to find the original #if youre gonna make stimboards that include someone elses content #be it homemade gifs or gifs you made from someone elses video #or even gifs made of a third party video you downloaded off tumblr or pinterest or google images #you *need* to credit the creator #and respect the boundaries of the creator. #we make sure the stuff we upload on any blog isnt harmful at all. that animals in gifs are respected that creators arent awful that+ #+the video isnt made using generative ai. and like. not saying everyone has to go to those lengths. just that its doable and so easy #theres really no excuse to plagiarize and take a gif someone made of themselves and put your own url on it #even if you made the compilation its so easy to just *also* add the op's url + platform in somewhere else visible on the image #and its also so easy to like. go to the website google images is showing you for the image or reverse search the pinterest post #to make sure the creator is ok with their own video of themselves being posted on tiktok #:/ #not stim #mod talk

i think some of you are too used to genre conventions, you guys forgot to question the worldbuilding that many authors painstakingly made to question the subject of death and life in a more nuanced manner than just "wow resurrection is so romantic!"

#like yeah i do love romanticizing horror tropes at times #but there's a reason why it is a horror trope and not a common romance plot #necromancy... especially mixing an individual's soul with that of another species is something that can be disturbing #doesn't matter if the one who's doing the resurrecting or the one get resurrected is in love #think about how falin feels knowing that even though marcille and laios loved her they ended up taking a decision #that not only hurts her physically but also emotionally #being stripped of control from your own body... not being able to do anything but follow your master's command... #falin did not asked to be the chimera #but that's what makes her decision to take the red dragon with her before she wakes up so cathartic in some ways #she also acknowledged that the red dragon did not ask for this to happen... just like how she forgives the lil guy she also #forgives her brother and marcille for taking this very... bad decision because she understands they're just as desperate #as she is when she tried to save them before she died #it circles back to the theme of accepting death and how resurrection magic ended up making people too comfortable #with the act of mindless killing of other living creatures #but yeah sadly people only see the surface level stuff but don't actively tried to understand the significance behind the plot #i can't really blame anime-only but people who read the manga tho... #if you only understand it as a romance trope and be like 'oh everyone else is just stupid' maybe you need to reread the manga #at least once a month #to understand ryoko kui's writing better #tmi tag

i just. remembered again that i have a fembaru fic but also the premise is. Very Messed Up hah and also it was written before the canon genderbent au with its official genderbend names for everyone so its also outdated on top of that T^T i had like. Genderqueer subtext going on too. but i also wrote this fic like almost two years ago and havent touched it in forever so im unsure if i should go back to it…. o.o but i would love to finish it one day if only for my own satisfaction hah… i had a very detailed outline for ch 2 (its a twoshot) and several scenes written already anyway!! (and also i would probably update those names, make minor edits, etc etc hmm…)

#just thinking about this wip again………… mmmm….. not super confident in my older ao3 fics but the premise for this one was like. i think i #ended up brainstorming it with a friend or two and then i was like wait holy shit howd this play out. and then i took about two weeks to #write ch1? :o #and then i like. REALLY got into revolutionary girl utena after finishing ch1 so like that def bled into um. the themes. #just. thimking…….. bc ive had so many ideas to explore like. themes regarding gender and misogyny and Choice and destiny and queerness and #all sorts of things….. bc rezero Touches on them and is even Detailed on them sometimes and id Love to go in depth. but im also a bit #nervous to bc 1. writing fic is….. so much work sometimes fr and i am but a lazy writer and 2. the slight anxiety of what if i get flamed #o.o wild to think about….. #like. i have ideas for emilia fics that are. definitely darker maybe a bit controversial but i will go off the walls with writing for the #sake of answering the questions of. can this be done. and is it possible to narratively critique canon and fandom treatment of emilia. that #sort of thing. #not that im the best writer ever akdbdnd but i do like darker fiction sometimes. and i also like being meta about things in fiction. and i #also like writing to get out a tiny bit of salt. etc etc. #i tried to write these kinds of thinngs with my atm sole emilia centric fic that i wrote. uhhh more than a year ago? and i would love to try #again one day bc ive def improved and changed as a writer since then. u know what i mean?? :o #just like. rezero and queerness is very interesting to me. #suffaru post #saving this on the blog bc i talked Too Much about my writing process here HAH #my writing process being: HOW FAR CAN I TAKE THIS IDEA AND HOW OFF THE WALLS CAN IT GET???? #in reality tho im really just a massive nerd whos gone down a massive rabbit hole of writing anime fanfic. 😭😭😭😭😭🙏🙏 #if you actually read all these tags big thank you HAH

Now that the new mini arc is finally starting Imma make a couple predictions. Angelina is now a bizarre doll and ✨coincidentally✨at the hotel. Grelle is also there. For drama's sake you know how it goes.

#this is totally not just because angelina was the best part of early kuro and i desperately need to see her as a zombie #I'm especially confident in this after the recent arc and this a perfect time for a callback to the reaper arc #like c'mon there's just no way red isn't a bizarre doll undertaker had complete free access to her undamaged corpse #also speaking of which I'm surprised the orphanage mini arc is over already we didn't even learn anything about the lab finny came from 💀 #saved for a later date or?? #pleeeeaase i need to know more about my boy :< #at least we got snake's backstory tho #but am i the only one who felt that arc was a bit rushed? #while simultaneously only getting like ten pages a month the pacing is so weird XD #also as much as I want to see Soma and the Midfords again I doubt we'll see them this arc #maybe next arc #lord i do miss them though how long has it been? #i think soma is more likely to come back sooner than lizzy #I'd be surprised if he doesn't return by at least 2026 #or however how long this current arc's gonna take idk #but that's just my thoughts #I'm not really worried because I think yana plans on keeping this story alive for the next couple of decades #so we have a lot of time for loose ends to get tied up #kuroshitsuji #kuroshitsuji spoilers #< since a bunch of anime onlies have appeared with the new season #text

update: i am becoming more and more sick as we speak

#kinda makes sense tbh considering ive allegedly been around two sick people for like a week now #and by allegedly i mean definitely #but still picture me doing the shocked pikachu face #or like the confused tom from tom and jerry face #whichever you prefer #anyway yippie if i get worse im not gonna go to school and im gonna get some work done maybe unless i collapse #like maybe i could wrap myself in a blanket and take my tablet and work on the posters in peace or draw ocs or work on my- #animation assignment some more #finally a good excuse to stay home #and im only half joking #if i still could do school online i would #not having to use public transit saves me so much time and energy #anyway hoping i dont wake up tomorrow dying but also i will embrace that possibility if it comes #but also i could force myself to go to school even if im sick and push thru #but also like maybe i dont want to make other people sick?? #anyway #personal

Warning- this is a very petty post, but I think I'm entitled to at least one petty, pissed-off reaction every time I finish a classic novel that hit harder than I expected so take this as my quota for the year.

Also spoiler warning for a book that came out over a century ago but still, I didn't know the plot going in so don't want to ruin it for anyone else, if you haven't read it shut your eyes. (Also Local Tumblr User Going Wild Over Book Published a Hundred Years Ago That Everybody Else Already Read should probably be categorised as akey part of indigenous tumblr culture at this point).

Anyway I just finished the War of the Worlds and in between studying I've thinking about Themes and Motifs as you do, and idly looking for further analysis. I then accidentally ran into an article called 'A Quiet Place II Succeeds Where the War of the Worlds Failed' and:

Now I haven't seen any of the Quiet Place films, this is not a rant against them and of course everyone is entitled to their own opinions. But re: the ending of The War of the Worlds, I have to ask, did this guy somehow miss, uh, the entire point of the book or am I just utterly insane?

#You're right it's not very satisfying for humanity that the invaders are foiled by a bacteria and not human action! Maybe that's the point! #Maybe it's supposed to be FRIGHTENING and make you ask questions about what humans will do under extreme stress #Not be a morally uplifting tale about Humanity Heroically Defeating the Martians in a Glorious Hollywood Ending #Maybe it's MEANT to be unsatisfying because this is not a straightforward fairytale #I mean I've only read it once and don't know much about Wells' work so I might have misunderstood the point of the book too #But at places it is a very pessimistic view of the human condition and that's partly WHY IT'S SO POWERFUL #That doesn't mean there aren't moments of individual acts of heroism (the Thunderchild for example) #But the question is not just 'how will humanity beat the Martians and prove that we're still the masters of the universe' #Rather 'a) why is humanity so confident that it's ultimately in control of its own destiny #And b) here's lots of scenes of societal collapse and of people pushed to the brink and what would YOU do in those circumstances? #Would YOU feel remorse about silencing the curate even if it did lead to his death? #What if it rather than a foolish adult it had been a small child? #And even if they were weak did they DESERVE it? Yes it might have been necessary but should it be policy going forward? #Would you also be attracted briefly by the certainties that the artilleryman's (rather fascist) plan seems to offer so humanity survives? #But what sort of humanity would that be if it DID survive and is it worth it? The narrator feels he needs to justify the curate's death #The artilleryman would have probably never have thought it was anything OTHER than justifiable or indeed laudable #Under strain and stress would you start to turn against even your loved ones and become brutal? #Is that the only hope for human survival beyond complete surrender? And was the destruction of London maybe even 'cleansing' #In the eugenics sense or in the sense of a natural horror of dirt and germs? #And the vast exodus of six million people fleeing headlong in panic - we might not have seen that exact phenomenon #But didn't the twentieth century subsequently go on to show us unprecedented scale of slaughter and refugee movements and communal strife? #At the end of the day what really separates humanity from other animals? And what separates us from the Martians? #It's not an uncontroversial book- it was written over a hundred years ago for goodness sake and there are questions worth asking #about the way imperialism and arguments about eugenics and population control and all sorts of other dodgy areas operated on Wells' mind #But dear God I really don't think the problem with the book is that 'Humanity didn't save the day!' #Unsatisfying ending? Yes. A FAILURE? No not in my opinion- looks like it was exactly what Wells set out to do #Humanity didn't win the war of the worlds they had a narrow escape and though it might not be martians next time #Why wouldn't disaster return in the future? Sure we've studied their flying machines and even preserved a martian in a jar #But for all our science what have we ACTUALLY learned that will enable us to avert future human catastrophes? Ethically or socially? #Alright rant over- as usual my opinion is not universal nor necessarily well-informed this take just really got my goat

you know i wonder where the essay is, i certainly don't have it prepared, what it reflects about society, that the '99 trigun was a fun action western-sci-fi anime with a plot that wove itself out slowly and had plenty of heart that got serious eventually but was also a quirky romp through most of its run

and the '23 trigun stampede is a dystopian sci-fi set in a crumbling desert that can barely support life with a dark plot that drags you under immediately and also does have a lot of heart but ultimately appears to have the theme of scavenging that heart from a place that gives you no reason to believe it exists

like, as time capsules i feel like it's unintentionally saying something about us, about where we've come to and come from, that the same basic story is told in two such wildly different ways, after less than a quarter-century

#trigun #trigun stampede #i know that this is reductive but the tone of the two is just so *insanely* different that it's shocking #like the new version is gorgeous and i'm really liking it but you cannot view it from the lens of the og anime #they are essentially two entirely different anime #and yes i recognize that anime from japan is not tapped into the american zeitgeist but we live in such a globalized society now #that things seep through and things like the economy and constant streams of bad news and global wars affect all of us #do i think that it has something to do with the former american president specifically? of course not. #do i think that maybe it could reflect the growing global tide of fascism and authoritarianism and the helplessness that #many of the below-40 generation feel almost as a matter of course? perhaps. #that's something that absolutely is unfortunately transcending borders and cultures in a way that would take three sociologists #and a bar's worth of wine to describe #the same disease and sense of being abandoned or even betrayed by the people who were supposed to save you #and the deep desperate human urge to scrape together all our stupid little fragments of stupid little hope to keep us going #i haven't finished it yet so i can't say where it's taking this setting #but i find it very interesting how the two versions are so wildly divergent in tone and priorities

There should be an anime about trans gay burnt out ex-gifted kids who are in their mid to late 20s, 30s, 40s+ who are magical theys and are all in a polycule together and fighting some antagonist monster force while trying to manage how the fuck to pay rent and bills and things.

#I would be down to voice act for this if anyone wants to actually make something like this #I’ve got some vocal range baybeeeee #maybe it takes place in America at first but then they all save up and move or something somehow idk or people crowd fund them to move #they is only one of the pronouns for all the characters & part of what brought them together at a trans support group #at least half the polycule uses neopronouns too #mine #OP #anime

[daz4i]

wait what about fukuchi dying in fukuzawa's arms is this gonna be in today's chapter too or

#like. idk maybe the anime moved things around...? #bc it feels like this scene should take. a lot of space #but so do fyodor's memories and saving sigma n all #this part wasn't even mentioned in the anime #which i get why they'd skip in a final episode where they have to wrap everything up #but it's still weird to not include it at all?? and the timing is weird too 🤔 #anyway. either way i'm not complaining. i miss sigma and i enjoy old man yaoi windowing

So I got bored and decided to make a Transformer based on a ragdoll that I had and I still think I have somewhere now most of the colors were actually black or gray but there were some other colors like the red and green I sort of improvise with some of the extra colors might change a few colors here or there at some point but I think she came out pretty good definitely looks like a hot mess which is what I was going for since ragdolls usually look like a hot mess themselves I was going to go with a different name but honestly I feel like Trailfire just kind of fits

#transformers oc #my oc #lol #transformers animated #transformers #there's no way that I can really retrieve the art style of Earth Spark #mmmmmm #maybe #if I save up enough money I'll take a few of my favorite OCS and just pay someone #or something

But i'll be real with you gang, i don't get the Point. Protect history, but you're going back in time to defeat the hra who are also going back in time to change history it will never end unless you destroy the hra as an organisation bc they can spend a decade regrouping, if they're still gonna return to 1582 to save nobunaga or whatever it is that they do. You can't just protect history from attempts to change it, you have to destroy the source of revisionism itself by attacking the hra.

#no but i'm serious you can only do so much to protect history. it's time to attack for history. #and thus korka had her saniwa license taken and was told to leave the honmaru because apparently #revolution and massacre at the enemy base is not an accepted form of protecting history. #bc i was thinking ab the ''we have to protect history no matter what'' scenes from the anime that was like #ooo inner conflict bc no matter how much you hate to see your former owner die you cannot save him #bc that would make you on hra's side right #but like if it takes 50 or 100 years for the hra to become stronger if they return to the past it'll be like no time at all has passed #or maybe i just don't get The Lore #day xxx of being a saniwa i have rallied my touken danshi on a direct assault on the hra base #maybe the problem is that the hra's base is unknown
