#and you know who is in this arena???

[denkisauce]

every once in a while i login to tumblr, get a snippet of the chaos going on in the manga, and then never recover 😭😭 what are your recommended strategies in coping with bakugou's potentially permanent hybernation?

!! okok so my #1 coping mechanism is i like to look at things from a marketing perspective. they cant kill off bakugou bc that baby is a cash COW like the amount of revenue he brings in alone from merch and stuff?? the fact that he has been voted #1 EVERY YEAR -- imagine the analytics!! he can't be killed he's simply too popular it wouldnt be good for business. it helps me to look at things like a capitalist rather than a reader lolol

the other reason i dont think he's dead for good is it would just be too narratively jarring for him to die at that point in the story. this doesnt mean he's off the hook forever but if bakugou were to die (and i genuinely dont think this is just my shipper brain saying this) it would be in dekus arms. it would be dramatic, there would be last words spoken to each other, we would see reactions from other classmates/ time would slow down a lot more for that moment. and pacing wise it would not make sense for him to die forever right at the beginning of his fight with shigaraki calling him weak. it would not be without him making some obvious sacrifice or proving himself in a big way. what bakugous death here was is a catalyst. it was to kick off deku's fight with shigaraki, deku finally using the 2nd's quirk. narritvely it just wouldnt make any sense for bakugous death to just happen suddenly bc of quirk overuse and then the reaction being deku and mirio being like 'lets ignore this in favor of the fight at hand' if bakugou died there would be a lot more momentum to it, rather than his death adding momentum to something else if that makes sense? he's just way too important of a character

#and i genuinely dont think any of this is copium lol like if bakugou died in 362 it would be bad writing plain and simple #and i have a lot more faith in horikoshi than that #i also dont think wed have all this stuff with edgeshot trying to save him if they were gonna be like #oh oop nice try edge but he Dead dead #also my hopeful prediction #edgeshot is gonna sew his heart up but baku will still be dead and theyll be like ahh we need to restart his heart! #and you know who is in this arena??? #THATS RIGHT KAMINARI DENKI COMIN RIGHT UP WITH A QUIRK EVOLUTION #defibrillator to the rescueeeee #bc i also believe denkis gonna have some importance in this fight bc his current role is very very background character support-y #and he's kind of a bigger character than that so i think he was strategicially placed in this arena with these players for a reason! #and thats that on that! #bakugou katsuki #katsuki bakugou #my stuff #bnha manga spoilers

Like I know it's self indulgence but it'd be so funny to see a full kardashian style Brucie Wayne, spoilt playboy prince of Gotham, local sunshine idiot on the front page every other week for darwinian levels of idiocy or billionaire levels of donations.

But he gets kidnapped or something and there's illusions or mind magics that make him think he's in the bat suit and then he gets dumped in the middle of a live world broadcast arena to fight some goons.

Like he doesn't think anything of it, batman's been kidnapped and forced into gladitorial arenas for sport many times before, maybe he always carries concealed weapons so he's still got like grapples and batarangs and stuff, but he's just going full doomslayer on these guys. No cowl. No suit. Just an open silk shirt and a pair of slacks. In full view of the world.

Tell you what, what about the whole justice league. Just a group of the motleyest people you've ever met. There's about as many famous people as there are absolute nobodies.

Several billionaires defer to the guy who writes articles on outdated lead in buildings and socio economic corruption. There's a renowned museum curator flying and uppercutting aliens so hard they get tossed across the room. There's a guy who spoke in science conferences about meta containment procedures running up the wall and delivering a roundhouse kick to three enemies at once. Bruce Wayne and Oliver Queen. Of all people. Two world famous idiot ceo celebrities. And they're back to back whaling on armoured alien henchmen like a well oiled team. A ten year old podcaster shooting lightning from his fingers and no one in the group bats an eye.

Just.... Insanity.

#To be honest I don't care if there's any fallout #Maybe it happens in a dream world or smth or maybe they reverse time or wipe memories or something #I just want the juxtaposition of batman in Brucie Wayne's skin #No society mask. Jaw jutted eyes sharp he's tossing goons around like it's nothing #The fangirls would go insane. His stockholders are cowering. Everyone who knows anything about him is blue screening #It's like a fever dream but he's so full of adrenaline he's panting condensation on the cold arena like a wolf #And people are having their whole worlds collapse #Superbat celebration kiss after they defeat everyone? Why not if you want #batman #dc comics #bruce wayne #brucie wayne #justice league #It'd be like idk if Taylor swift turned out to be... Idk there isn't an equivalent #Like if Elon musk turned out to be a paramedic on the side #Or a world class neurosurgeon #This is purely self indulgent but it'd be so funny.

[figure-skating-avocado]

Super niche, but I just saw someone comment on something saying that they can't comprehend the fact that figure skating qualifies as a sport and as a figure it kind of just ticked me off? Of course the skaters seen on TV are really good at it and they make it look easy but the amount of work that goes into training that isn't seen in competition isn't as pretty as what's shown on the screen. There's a lot of off ice training for cardio and strength in the form of fitness classes and there's also the on ice cardio training which is running program parts in addition to the full run through. AND THEN, so it looks good, there's ballet, and on ice movement, and theatre on ice etc. etc. etc. which makes you THINK it's more of an artform but I've gotten so many bruises from falling that I don't think I can call it art, more like pain. Honestly figure skating is a dangerous sport, there's so many risks that can lead to injuries, I've a couple of friends who have gotten concussed from bad falls and I call myself very fortunate for not having gotten any bad injuries that cause me to take time off (knock on wood) but all of the gross stuff that happens out of the shiny costumes is what gives figure skating the right to call itself a sport.

#Obviously I mean no offence to the person who commented saying that #It's just that this has been sitting on my chest for a while and I needed to get it off #And I don't expect people to know what goes on at the rinks during training when we're not competing #Because it's not like it gets shown in competitions on livestreams and whatnot #But I really believe that figure skating deserves to be a sport #My friends and I actually had a discussion about how we believe it's one of the hardest #because most other sports are scored based off of time or getting an object into a certain target #whereas in figure skating (and gymnastics and probably synchro swimming(?)) #it's scored based off of how easy you make it look #the difficulty of the skills which you are doing #how well you execute what you are doing etc. #I don't think you can get points taken off in hockey or in soccer for falling #Do with it what you will #but I'm going to stand by my opinion #also #there is no romance with zamboni guys #most of them are old enough to be our parents or even grandparents #heck one of the arena guys at my rink retired #but then he came out of retirement to return to being an arena guy because he was bored at home or something #figure skating #And #figure skating and ice dancing are the same thing

nobody look at me

#📗 my post #and like we grew up together and like hes getting distant and im getting mad about it and trying to get to the bottom of it #but hes being like thay bc hes starting to pit fight and doesnt want me to know #but i find out anyway and hes like waiting for me to get like mad or disappointed but instead im like #“im just mad you didnt tell me” #like i dont care im not your momma . but also i do care because youre getting hurt huh what who said that #and now im getting into it too because someone needs to look after him bc he clearly isnt if hes in the ring #but he bought the fighter arena and now hes the boss so his first move is to immediately get me out #something something #or maybe like we were friends but we drifted apart bc i moved away or something and i join the fighting ring and hes like UM . EXCUSE ME #🥊 sett #hacks a lung anywya

So did Dr. Gaul just not want any winner for the 10th Hunger Games and that’s why she released her snakes into the arena, knowing they’d kill everything with an “unfriendly” scent or was that another test for Coriolanus. If it was a test and he failed, what was her plan for the Hunger Games winner?

#the ballad of songbirds and snakes #the hunger games #listen i know that there’s an ‘antidote’ if that’s what you want to call it #but every tribute was bitten by multiple snakes multiple times #and it didn’t look like there was anyone waiting to rush in to save the one who only got bit a few times #i assume based on what katniss has said and the whole thing with the double suicide = no winner #that they NEED a winner and that they’re willing to pull out the #tribute who lasted a few seconds longer than the others (ie when the competitors froze to death) #but i don’t actually see how they could have pulled it off in this instance #i’m rereading the book #maybe i’m forgetting something critical and dr gaul calls her snakes to her with a whistle like dogs or something idk #that brings up another interesting thought about the mutts and how long it took to learn to control them #particularly across various species #particularly since the birds had to be hand-caught via nets and couldn’t just be whistled back into a cage #AU where coriolanus just lets lucy grey die in the arena #au number two where dr gaul’s snakes get loose in the capitol and start killing citizens

rip kuina one piece you would have lost your fuckin MIND over Rebecca

#Kuina: sure im the best now but when im older i wont be because men will be bigger and stronger than me #Rebecca: yeah I’m 16 and have been sword fighting in this gladiator arena for years and never lost a fight #Kuina: #Rebecca: I don’t even need to like hurt them I just use men’s size and strength against them to knock them out #Opposite of those “society if” memes where it’s a barren wasteland titled “society if Rebecca dressrosa used lethal force” #People talk a lot abt the different things that would shatter kuinas fuckin world view if she lived #Rebecca definitely would’ve been in the top 3 #Also people who draw Rebecca and give her better armor I am kissing you directly on the mouth #I know the generally accepted fanon* is doflamingo forced her to wear that but that doesn’t make me like it any more #*I think it’s fanon I don’t remember if it’s explicitly stated in canon maybe it is #One piece

Idk if the last ask was sent but CURRY MY GUY IT'S CHOOSE YOUR LEGENDS TIME who are you gonna vote for and what are your predictions!! ☺️☺️☺️

bestie you came through the first time no worries, i applaud your sheer enthusiasm tho

hmm predictions are a little challenging bc this is the first time engage will be added to the roster and im having a hard time gauging the popularity of its units. it's decently popular afaik but since it came out almost a year ago and didn't really generate that much lasting discussion (ahem lmao) i feel like a lot of the hype has kind of died down. but at least im decently certain that none of the new feh units aren't going to sweep like last time adfasdf

in any case, i think on the men's side, diamant and alcryst are probably going to be top options. looking at the results from previous years, felix has been a consistent top 5 placer, (got 3rd twice, though he keeps getting overtaken by units that previously placed below him like robin and soren), and m!byleth also tends to have pretty solid placing in upper top 10. however, the past two years sigurd has been steadily climbing the ranks, and what with 3h fatigue and sigurd being a pretty popular lord overall, i can see it ending up being an engage character and sigurd in the end.

on the women's side, bernadetta has placed 3rd three times during the past four cyl editions, so she's got a solid chance. however, ivy's enduring popularity might just make her shoot to the no. 1 spot. and there's always hilda and azura, who consistently place high and are both popular units in feh that sell well (i.e. they have a lot of alts). i don't think timerra will place 1st or 2nd but she might place top 10.

as for my own votes i'll probably go for my standard 3x sylvain, 2x felix again. i think felix honestly deserves to get his brave alt for being such a popular unit year after year and bc he can be such a powerhouse in 3h, while his base alt in feh was a distinctly whelming sword infantry no. 252. and sylvain is one of my personal favourites, who, despite also having placed top 10 the past two years, has been shafted twice (mid summer demote, very mid cav axe (???) demote). please give him a good alt im begging.

#asks #thinking about the way cyl characters always seem completely meta breaking when they come out #and then most of them get power crept or become irrelevant after like two months max #what is brave robin if not gambit 4 fodder #gullveig got crept by her own alt #soren. i don't see soren except in arena sometimes. imo his save skill is difficult to coordinate. also he's flare fodder #who else did we get. oh right corn. well. wind claude exists. and winter yunaka. and duo sanaki. so you know how it is

#i saw the dreamies the other day 🥹 only got the time and the headspace to sit down and talk abt it today so i will #secured my tickets but spent the whole month in utter disbelief that it really was happening :( i think i was thinking that way up until #the concert itself HAHA im not even sure if it’s fully registering also im far too exhausted to feel post con depression #i’ve been on the road for a week now and im just so tired BUT whenever nct dream songs play in my head i rmb the live ver #got a seat so far up/back in the arena but was still content?? i was happy enough to be in the same room with them #and with a thousand others who probably loved them as much as i did #the whole time i was just thinking damn this cant be real but they were there…standing beneath me and performing their asses off #talented ass men #ALSO #i brought a friend who wasnt a kpop fan and she likes mark now #literally checked her phone and saw it flooded with mark vids from the con 😭 i love it #she also likes dive into you and a few more tracks from the hot sauce album #slay #YO HOT SAUCE WAS SO FUCKING FUN #i have a whole video of me vibing to it taken by my friend bc i was just vibing the whole time #i have shit videos im bad at taking videos but i also wont swap better videos for missing out on the experience itself :) #thats all #toff.txt #tds2 #DO YOU REALLY WANNA KNOW WHERE I WAS APRIL 29TH? #i was there.

If anyone is interested, Festival de Parintins is going on right now. It lasts three nights startig today.

I wanted to watch live this year but unfortunately I'm too tired and can't stay up, so I'm offering my comically small number of followers the chance to know a brazilian tradition other than carnival. Enjoy.

(I say as if I hadn't only known the festival tangentially until last year, just in time to miss the presentations... but I've seen some clips and became team Caprichoso since then.)

#quick rundown: Caprichoso is the black ox and its colors are blue and white #Garantido is the white ox and goes with red and white #they're rivals and each has a two-three hour long presentation each night #they're judged on a series of things that I don't know the specifics to talk about #but basically it's the story of an ox (the owners favorite as a matter of fact) that gets killed to satisfy the cravings of a pregnant woma #who was the wife of one of the workers #the owner is upset and calls a shaman to bring the ox back to life #in short it's a celebration of the ox's ressurection and the festivities happen all across brazil mostly in a street and popular fashion #but Parintins is the most famous for having the two emblematic oxes and an arena dedicated to them #all of that and I didn't cite the tale is known as Boi Bumbá or Bumba-meu-boi #and that the ox is represented by a person inside a 'costume' #anyway I'm beat and REALLY need to sleep so I hope it made at least some sense #gnight #p.s.: boi means ox. Right now I'm too tired to remember what bumba/bumbá means but I think it might have something to do with drums?? #and meu is mine/my so boi bumbá is literally ox bumbá and bumba-meu-boi would be something like my bumba ox. explaining just in case #now I'm done for real bye #edit: or bumba my ox as in verbing the term in the imperative...I'm not actually sure how to translate. you know what just go with bumbá ox #have I said I need to sleep??

athena in real and also edge's debut featuring the hand of a very distraught security guard who did not appreciate our presence there

#ATHENA! ATHENA! ATHENA!!! I DIDNT KNOW SHE WAS GONNA BE THERE!!!! #even for the off the wall swerve v hangman match later i never felt as starstruck as i did seeing athena!!! she was right there!!! #the security guard story is that we left early to avoid the rush out only to hear some ruckus and realize something else was probably #going to go on (as is very common at ppvs)(i didnt say when my buddy suggested leaving early to avoid the rush because #i love to avoid rushes whenever i can) so we attempted to sneak back into the arena to see #and successfully charmed three guards into allowing it before meeting one who chased us out #she was DISTRESSED. she screamed 'NO!!!!!!' when she saw me taking a picture. 'YOU CAN'T BE HERE!!!' #there were two other people peeking in behind us too which was so funny. THEY CANT STOP ALL OF US #we did flee and then accidentally get locked into a stairwell for awhile after that. eventful evening!
