So, here's my opinion on Fire Emblem: Three Houses thus far...

Verdant Wind was a nice, pretty chill route. I liked the idea of them being the underdogs taking on the more competitive classes in the Academy Phase, and then later finishing off the true villains in the Timeskip. I will mention that I S-Ranked Claude because he's the only house leader that I cared about at the time. The only weak point for me was Claude's S-Rank itself, being that he and Byleth do love each other, but Claude has to leave Fódlan, leaving her to wait for him so they can be reunited.

Azure Moon, on the other hand, was kind of a chore to get through, since nearly everyone seems depressed. I know the story itself explains and shows why, but it had me trudging through, sometimes even procrastinating on finishing the route (also because I started it back in 2020 but then got Animal Crossing and was obsessed with building my island). Two major drawbacks of Azure Moon were 1) Dimitri being basically outta commission for monastery activities until after Gronder Field, and 2) Dedue's disappearance, both of which had me grinding for support points with meal sharing—especially with Dedue, because I wanted him to marry Mercedes. The only redeeming factors about Azure Moon are 1) Dimitri realizing the error of his ways after Gronder Field, and 2) Mercedes and Annette being rays of sunshine. I did S-Rank Dimitri, and one point I'll give it over Claude's S-Rank is that Byleth does become his queen almost instantly.

I'm currently teaching the Black Eagles...and I'm gonna say that I like them more than the Golden Deer (I played all three routes in Three Hopes, and Scarlet Blaze actually won me over more than Golden Wildfire). Their class intro was hilarious (Linhardt sleeping, Petra's language quirks, Edelgard embarrassed by her class, etc.), and their supports are so good; Ferdinand's personality feels overly theatrical and it shows in his supports, for example.

I had originally planned to do Silver Snow first and split the save file to go to Crimson Flower later. I've heard people say that it's best to do Crimson Flower last. However, after unlocking Edelgard's first C-support and hearing her cry in her sleep, I've decided I can't go through with betraying her. I know that when I get there, I'll lose access to certain units—Flayn will say good-bye, but come the timeskip I'll be sparing her and Seteth. I'll also have Claude and Hilda spared so they can be happy together and live for a brighter future. Hopefully it's okay that I never play Silver Snow—the thought of betraying and killing Edelgard after merely listening to her crying for her father in her nightmare-induced sleep is just sickening. Plus, you teach her class to get invested in her and her friends; I am not going to turn her class against her (in Azure Moon, I recruited them mainly because I didn't want Bernadetta to be burned to death). Add to that that I see Byleth as being more of a mother figure who's willing to listen to her students' problems as if they were her own children, and it makes Silver Snow seem like a mother disowning her own daughter whom she nurtured and listened to her issues (the same could be said about Crimson Flower with regards to Rhea, but it's wildly different, and comes off more as a sort of 'divine judgment' from Byleth towards Rhea)

As far as S-Ranks go, I'm planning to either remain single or become Linhardt's wife, since Edelgard belongs with Hubert IMHO.

#fire emblem #fire emblem three houses #fe3h #black eagles #crimson flower #like i really wanted to get the whole picture #but edelgard crying in her sleep already makes me want to protect her from rhea #...looking at rhea's behavior like i know she basically created byleth to be a vessel for sothis #and is acting like she cares...she's really quite the manipulator #verdant wind kinda hinted at this #and i think rhea forgets that she is basically trying to revive her mother and ultimately a powerful deity who can end rhea if she so wills #i get the feeling crimson flower is basically sothis bringing divine judgment upon rhea

My short review:

Tom is the only person who can make me care about Poppy Playtime, istg. I really enjoyed his first episode, despite the subject. We got singing! We got intrigue! He's also being very careful not to sound too much like Matpat, which is for the best IMHO. I appreciate he didn't invoke Matt's son despite the obvious link to the title character of the episode, and he didn't scream LOOORREE or drag out the channel's signoff. (I was kinda hoping he'd have his own unique signoff, honestly. Maybe he'll develop one later?) The graphics and content feel like GT but Tom does not sound like Matt. At least not to me.

So the episode didn't feel forced but it also didn't feel particularly special. I guess they're being cautious and trying to ease everyone into the hosts, preferring an episode that felt like business as usual. I think it works, I think most super fans know Tom very well at this point. Overall the comments appear very supportive but it is super early.

Kinda weird how the three intro facts he brought up about himself were that he's English, he beat dawko at axe throwing (fair) ...and that he's allergic to apples of all things? Hope that pays off later. Either way, great job, Tom! I knew you could do it!

#Santi should bake him an apple pie and continue their feud #im shocked he's written 140 theories i didnt think he'd been there that long #tom robinson #dapper mr tom #game theory #team theorist #i wish i had more observations but i only got 4 hours of sleep #probably will come me later lol

Just finished listening to This Life and I have to say: it's their best since Jason's departure, but no surprises, I already predicted it when they released Windows.

I feel like this album was more "Mark" and I really really loved it. We truly have been blessed this year.

Highlights imho:

Windows - Ofc, as I said, their best single since Progress. Listening to this song while walking on the streets and feeling the wind blowing and messing your hair hits different, trust me.

Brand New Sun - my anthem, I loved this song since day one.

The Champion - yk I'm a fan of almost everything Mark does, so no surprises this song would be here. Amazing as I expected.

Mind Full of Madness - idk, the intro kinda reminded me of Stevie Nicks' Edge of Seventeen. Great song, tho. I enjoyed a lot

Time and Time Again - a very Mark song. If it was Gary or Howard singing lead wouldn't be the same, the ✨Mark vibes✨are unmatchable

One More Word - This song is so so so beautiful, omg, I'm in love

The other songs are also good (although I can already say This Life is my least favorite), but these caught my attention in this first listen. Everything can change the following days.

#although the circus and progress are superior #but I think it shares my personal 3rd place with beautiful world #maybe surpass it #let's wait and see #take that #tt #mark owen #gary barlow #howard donald #this life

[dhmis-autism]

like half of my favorite lines from the entire series come from death it’s just so damn funny

THEY DESERVED THE COMEDY AWARDS FOR THAT EPISODE ALONE IMHO

WE HAVE

• the ICONIC INTRO

• somebodys jealous....jealous of me being deaaaad🎶

• COFFINS ENTIRE INTRO (the contrast between his introduction and his voice???)

• THE BIG DAY SONG

• Why does it say David? Thats his name. He's David.

• THE BEST FRIEND DEBAUCLE

• THE TOURNAMENT

AND THATS JUST IN THE BEGINNING BRO LIKE LISTEN. Ducks bits in the coffin are some of my fucking fav in the whole show.

Let's get to know each other. Ask me some questions :]

Lets Listen to some Music. I made it myself. On the computer.

I Had A Milkshake Before The Service.

ITS SO FUNNNYY I really think Duck is at his most Bugs Bunny in this ep and it is really hilarious. Coffin works really well as a straightman because he is so shocked and appalled at everything Duck says it gets me everytime. It almost feels at the end like he's antagonizing Coffin on purpose even though by his tone of voice he's absolutely not which just makes it better to me.

ANYWAYS BEST BOY WIN ALL THE POLLS LOVE U BABY BOY

#LIKE THAT EP ALONE IS SO QUOTABLE. #me and my sis quote the best friend debate constantly #she will walk in a room and be like. IM your best friend??? ill turn around and be like Yeah. We're Close. #i mean i KNOW you i know which one you ARE #anyways. best. episode. my fav of the tv show easy peasy bro #my dhmis postings

[buckevantommy]

oh wow. so the christmas special was a lot of fun! my main thoughts..

Ruby feels like a mashup of rose and clara with a dash of amy— idk if that was intentional, and it’s not necessarily a bad thing bc i think anyone who likes Ruby and hasn’t seen previous series can go back and watch those previous companions for the first time and find familiarity in them— but i really didn't like clara’s personality (or the actor), and i think ruby comes across as more of an algorithm designed character than a person which isn’t great in this war against ai. i like her backstory, her family and friends and being a muso are all great, but i need a few more eps to guage how i feel about her bc i don't love who they cast and she's trying too hard and the chemistry with ncuti just isn't there (maybe they'll become mates irl and that rapport will soon filter into their dynamic)—but it's early days, so we'll see how i feel about her and them by the end of the first season.

i love Ncuti! it's very early days so i'm curious to see how his vibe develops and how his dynamic settles with Ruby. he reminds me so much of eric from Sex Education—not a bad thing at all! i love that energy and that swagger and that vivacious youth! however: that intro club scene where he's dancing (even though it was fun af) was giving zero Doctor Who vibes (i especially didn't like the song choice, personal preference) but that might just be normal? how it usually goes with every new doctor this millenium? they all feel so different from the previous doctor's era vibes, which makes sense bc they're meant to be carving their own style etc. and keeping with the times..

ncuti is the youngest doctor yet, his companion is the youngest since the vintage days, and various character details from both of them point towards this series being geared at GenZ and GenA, trying to bring the joy and wonder to younger viewers— and i love that! it feels fresh! it’s modern! but as someone in their early 30s who can no longer bear watching teen dramedies (even if they are the best chance of seeing queer rep) bc the writing can be terrible but moreover i've just aged out of relating to people in their teens (especially GenZ/A) i just hope the writing of DW doesn't take on that same teen mindset so much that it puts off older viewers. i also worry he’s not believable as a doctor on earth bc he looks so young, but *handwavey*.

singing goblins? fun. singing doctor? well, it's ncuti so it was awesome. but knowing ruby is in a band, and this doctor can sing.. look, i just don't want to see more random musical numbers pop up in future eps— but i'm not a fan of musical eps in anything, so again, personal preference. it's a very american thing to do, inserting musical numbers into non-musical shows, so maybe it'll pull more american viewers?

the goblins look cool and the cgi works without looking fake and they use prosthetics for the goblin king which works well. it’s monstery fun doctor who! magic as science! language of ropes! conicidence! i think we’ll see a lot more fantasy over scifi this series, as was started with the whole salt spilling at the edge of the universe, and as a lover of supernatural and scifi i’m excited for the melding of the two! there’s a lot of fun and mystery to be found in that genre mashup. but one baby for all those goblins? or just the king? i have notes.

Fifteen being a foundling like Ruby hints at the arc of the series? will we find out who the doctor's parents are? was he created in a stardust labratory? is he really a human being from 20th/21st century earth? (would explain his returning to that era so often his whole life and seeking companions from then and there) IS RUBY THE DOCTOR? i love this setup, this mystery, and the theory that the one who left Ruby is Thirteen.

the best christmas song choices imho. the music and set design was festive and warm and such a treat, although i wish more scenes were set at night so we could get more christmas lights and lighting magic - the apartment and the church lighting were so beautiful and vibrant! the daytime setting just didn’t pop, it was bland.

shoutout to the crack in Ruby’s apartment swallowing her up in time— who else screamed Amelia Pond! the crack in my wall! and pointed manically at the screen? i feel you.

all in all: fun, smiles, thrills, almost tears. not a lot of feels even when they were prompted, but that might be on me not loving Ruby atm and not the writing lacking anything— i think this series is gonna deliver on the feels front, no question about it.

i think people who enjoyed the 21st century doctors, as well as those who are new to the show, will enjoy this ep and Ncuti’s portrayal (especially those who are fans of Sex Education). very curious to see how existing fans react to Ruby’s casting and characterisation and whether i’m in the minority of not liking her. but this was a fun little adventure! i’m looking forward to the series bc ncuti is a powerhouse and with RTD back at the helm and fantasy-scifi angle, i think we're in for some good storytelling. 

ruby's actor is my main hangup, but we'll see. we shall see..

Zone Fighter Thoughts #01: "Destroy the Terror-Beast Missile!"

Hey all, welcome to rainofkaiju! A place where I plan to make semi regular posts of my toy photography, fan fiction and reviews/ musings of kaiju related media.

To start, I decided to make my first entry about an often forgotten about character: Zone Fighter, the Meteor Man.

Debuting in 1973 (after Godzilla Vs Megalon), it was Toho's attempt at capitalizing on the Ultraman phenomenon. Needless to say, it didn't catch on. There's plenty of other places 'round the web that offer more information, so I'll keep the intro short!

Im going to review/ react to each of the 26 episodes of this series. 2023 is his 50th anniversary afterall. And, I've never seen it. Alas, it will be in an order of my own preference, not exactly chronological.

It's an open secret that Toho included a few marquee names alongside the titular hero. Those being Gigan, King Ghidorah and of course, Godzilla! We'll cover the Zone Fighter solo episodes first, then the guest-starring ones last, leaving off on an epic note.

Join me on this journey as we get to witness a forgotten hero in his fansubbed glory, and hopefully convince Toho to bring him back. (Instead of just a Keychain. Lol.)

Let us begin!

We hear Godzilla in the first like 10 seconds! Albeit for the wrong monster... he uses Kong's later.

Awesome theme song, and a great moody score to boot.

An interesting concept of an alien refugee family saving the world in secret.

Some great Kamen Rider esque fight choreography in the human battles. Really digging Hikaru's moves.

This brings us the debut of....

"CANNON TERROR-BEAST" Red Spark!

And, well... meh. Sparkler noodle hands sadly aren't very impressive.

Cool night fight tho.

Zone Fighter himself is pretty neat. Also, a tad creepy with his lit-up eyes in the dark.

But, that's not all! We get the other monster in the episode...

"MAGNETIC TERROR-BEAST" Jikiro!

Now this is a cool kaiju. Unique mecha design, and certainly more memorable than Red Spark. Still doesn't stand a chance against Zone Fighter's Meteor Missiles however.

My fav bit in this entire episode was when Jikiro uses his magnetic pincer to grab hold of a commercial plane. Really good editing, very suspenseful the way the passengers are saved in the last second, as the plane gets yeeted into the night by Zone Fighter.

Never have I seen such a toyetic series shown in such a short amount of time. Jam-packed in 20 minutes. Space stations, spaceships, henshin devices, two kaiju, multiple transforming heroes, a flying fucking car, and the best ever:

ZOBOT!!!

a communicator, drone, weapon, this little guy can do it all. Must've been the coolest shit for kids in the 70's.

All in all, a fantastic start IMHO. One of the most entertaining first episodes from the showa Era of tokusatsu.

Join us next time for Zone Fighter episode 02: " Attack! Destro-King!"

Don't miss it!

Hi! I have a question about Gaudy Night. Is it better to start reading the whole series from the beginning to understand it or can I start directly at Gaudy Night, without knowing much of the characters?

Gaudy Night, my beloved 😭

Tragically you absolutely cannot start with Gaudy Night. It is the best in the whole series, but it’s that good because it builds upon all the character development from previous novels.

That said, you don’t have to read every Peter Wimsey novel in order to enjoy Gaudy Night. You really only have to read the ones in which Harriet Vane features, as Gaudy Night is told primarily from her POV. These are as follows, in order:

Strong Poison

Have His Carcase

Gaudy Night

Busman’s Honeymoon

I personally would recommend reading at least one Lord Peter novel from before Strong Poison, just to get a sense of who the characters are, as Strong Poison itself isn’t the best intro to Peter Wimsey imho. Personally I don’t much care for the very first book (Whose Body?), so I’d recommend Clouds of Witness, as it gives you a feel for the whole Wimsey clan.

That said, I definitely read all of these completely out of order the first time I read them so I don’t think it matters that much! (I disastrously started with Gaudy Night because my mom loved it so much and I got about two chapters in before I was like “wow I don’t care about any of this.” Took me years to return and now I’ve read it more times than I can count lol.)

Godspeed!!

[devilscreekballad]

yeah you make some very good points. the company hasn't been great abt supporting either cog or hg authors imho. i've seen them do the vast majority of the post-release updates/bugfixes, plus work that technically falls under social media managing/marketing (like making a guide, answering q's about the world n story, writing more detailed intros abt the characters when ppl want more info than just a blurb) ect.

it's honestly egregious when it comes to hg authors since they only get 25% of the profits. i'm legit starting to suspect that's how cog actually makes money. at least cog/hc authors get paid in advance 🤷

yep. More rambling ahead

---

With CoG releases, I kinda do get the 25% thing, because the main costs are covered by the company.

However, as far as I know, there's not much support for the authors while writing their either (I vividly remember Jason just handing out people's email addresses without asking because he couldn't be arsed to forward feedback to the author during beta. WTF jason. At least the author was a gem, but WTFH?!)

This lack of coaching/assistance is imho one of the main reasons why even the main-library games are such a mixed bag.

Not to mention how if you ask something specific on the forum chances are high you won't get an answer because either the author isn't there OR the question gets put in a general thread and drowns there. wow.

Let's not talk about how Jason loves to play favourites with certain authors and users, usually with exactly those that are the most egregious of the bunch... Like, c'mon Jason, you know how many people have turned their back on THAT author AND have given clear reasons WHY, stop acting as if they are wrong and that brat is the best thing since sliced bread.

[general-kalani]

So I watched the first episode of Die Neue These and then the first episode of Legend of the Galactic Heroes right after.

So here is my personal review of it.

The quick review, without spoilers, is that Die Neue These is better for someone who hasn’t seen the original series, if you have I wouldn’t recommend it.

I will put this under a read more to let people who want to see Die Neue These or Legend of the Galactic Heroes a chance to avoid the post.

So this will be done in three lists: Postives, Neutrals, Negatives.

Positives - The little added intro before it rolls into the actual song intro is actually pretty nice, seeing a younger Reinhard staring up at an Imperial ship is really pretty and it was definitely them showing off their budget with the 3d elements they're going to be focusing the battles with.

- My main man Merkatz is one of, if not THE only one NOT to have a redesigned character, which is a bonus because it made him easy to spot amongst the sea that were redesigned.

- The intro song is actually really beautiful! "Binary Stars" is such a pretty, beautiful song it actually made me tear up very beautiful song even if the episode it was attached to was terrible imho.

Neutrals - Having said that, the redesigns with the ships is off to me, while it's nice that they're using 3d to better distinguish each ship from one another, it would have been far better if they kept the original design for the ships.

- The English voice actors are more of a hit or miss, considering they were done by funimation. But it's more of a neutral-negative is that for the Galactic Empire, they aren't even doing german accents, and for the Alliance they didn't bother with doing accents more related to the characters. The voices also seem a little off, like they weren't attempting to put voices of the dub to voices of the original unlike with Space Battleship Yamato, another dub funimation did.

Negatives - Many, many, many of the original characters were redesigned which make no sense. Kircheis went from soft fluffy curls to standard sharp lines for his hair and his looks were too heavily changed that it simply didn't fit the vibe. Others also changed were Yang Wenli (seen only at the end of the episode yet I still include it here), Reinhard Von Lohengramm, Adalbert Von Fahrenheit, Staden and Robert Lap. These are only the ones in the first episode, there are certainly more design changes along the way.

- SO many lines from the original were cut. Like Reinhard's quote of how humans reach for the stars only to realise their arms are too short. It wasn't the only things cut.

- With the cut lines, a lot of scenes that made up the story for the original series were cut which made the reboot episode feel empty yet rushed. Like how in the original episode it established that Annerose Von Grunewald and Reinhard are brother and sister. It was sorely missed and it's such an annoyance that they took it away.

- The argument between the Admirals (there are WAY too many admirals added here compared to the original btw, get into that on next point) and Reinhard took way too long. The bonus I will give it as a potential positive is letting Fahrenheit speak however the bonus is taken away immediately for his redesign.

- There are WAY too many Admirals. The original had five or six come in and they fly in on their respective shuttles and made sure to introduce you to the major ones like Fahrenheit, Merkatz and Staden. The reboot does none of this and instead throws them out there like dirty wet rags hoping you remember them when they had too little time to be remembered from the scene.

- The way they handled Robert Laps death is not even close to the original, completely changing it and making Laps death much more insignificant unlike what it truly was in the original. The original had it be dramatic, he tried his best to get his commander to see the way he does and it doesn't work. Reboot didn't have the same impact for it. I will give it a bonus that they show off "armour penetration" rounds, but that doesn't help the scene at all.

- VERY little Free Planet Alliance screentime. Original had it so you had enough time to see how people saw the attack from the Empire, how they reacted, why they reacted the way they did. The reboot does, to no ones surprise, none of this and simply only mainly gives you the Empire's point of view. Which is ridiculous, since Yang is meant to be the second main character and they don't even introduce him until the end of the episode.

- Dusty Attenborough, Yang's friend, wasn't in the episode at all for the reboot, which is a crime to those from the original that love Dusty and know of his friendship with Yang and why he's pretty important to the story

- NEVER introduce the Vice Admiral of Patrocles, especially when in the original it gave the reason why before, Yang couldn't give orders until Paetta almost died on the bridge and was transported off by medical personnel.

- The uniforms are so. Limiting compared to the original. They look so bland compared to how flashy the original is, I get if they used all their budget on the space battles, however to not keep the original uniform is such a waste.

- Reinhard's command chair is EXCESSIVELY over the top. The original was simplistic, this is where they could have saved on budget. But instead they give him a golden chair? Sure he's royalty but it's completely unnecessary and it doesn't fit his style either.

- WHY WERE THEY TALKING ABOUT HEIGHT IT'S NOT EVEN IN THE ORIGINAL WHO THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA?? SO WHAT IF KIRCHEIS IS 190??

🎶✨when u get this, list 5 songs u like to listen to, publish. then, send this ask to 10 of your favorite followers (positivity is cool)🎶✨

Have been putting this off bc I'm usually on mobile nowadays and copying spotify links is tedious.

So, here's a list of my current faves that i highly recommend, but you have to search for them individually.

1. Elizabeth by Xiii. stoleti - the Most Song imho. Plus, Czech is a very beautiful language.

2. Holy Diver by Dio - one of the best intros ever and a real banger.

3. Rebellion (The Clans are Marching) in Van Canto's version - metal is nice and a capella metal is very nice. Plus this is fun to sing along.

4. An Sabhag ag Neill by Runrig - something about the melody really gets me every time. <3

5. Columbo by Wanda - cute and slightly melancholic song mentioning the blorboest show and character in the chorus. I also think Wienerisch sounds nice

#mutantenfisch answers #music ask #this is just a small sample of the stuff on my currebt on repeat list #half a year ago there was almost nothing but metal #a year ago there was a lot of country #it always depends on my mood

This guy has some long ass intros but his show is one of the best imho.

[onlyseokmins]

hiii how do you start a blog??? i reallyyyy wanna post my writing but idk how to start.... like formatting a blog making a pinned doing a layout idk what im doing😭 sorry if this is random for me to ask

Hey there! ❤️ Not too random to ask someone who's constantly setting up new blogs for fun and rarely using them 😭 ✋🏼 now take this all w/ a grain of salt but fr feel free to drop by/share your stories w/ me when you post them and come back if you need more help!!

So let me try to hit the points you addressed!

Formatting a blog:

Definitely have a profile picture! This is your "face" on Tumblr ~

Headers are a ton of fun. You can basically do whatever you want with them - hide, stretch, use your profile picture, or create something of your own (I would not suggest taking someone's gif or something they created unless you have permission 🙏) If you want something fancy, feel free to ask someone (but check their guidelines first ofc)

I would suggest enabling a custom theme under your blog settings if you want to format the web browser/desktop version of your blog (https://[url].tumblr.com is different from the "dashboard/mobile" view found on https://tumblr.com/[url]). This can only be done in the web browser/desktop version of blog settings (and can be important for your description later)

^ Confusing, I know! If you have more questions lmk, it's sort of not necessary but it's fun for me to customize 😂

You can find lots of tumblr themes to customize from the tumblr store or if you'd like you can get codes here too.

Making a pinned:

You can make any post a pinned post but only one can be pinned at a time.

Cheat: I have a habit of editing old posts that have 0 notes and/or one of my first posts and using it as I like 💀

Pinned posts can obviously contain whatever you want! Songs, funny quote, or a more detailed intro post - and can be changed any time!

Layout of your blog:

This is where creativity comes in lol! Try not to copy someone else if you can, totally cool if you're inspired but I've def seen a lot of people mimic others and it's just 😔

For example, ig you could say my layout/theme is based off a "streamer" concept lol. Some people keep it simple, some people just do whatever. Good news is you can always change it at your preference!

Honestly it doesn't matter how simple or fancy it is, I think as long as it's easy to navigate, you can do whatever.

Things I suggest to have somewhere on your blog:

Masterlist: a list of links to all your stories

Guidelines: don't be afraid to refer people to these!!

Intro: can be basic but be sure to tell a bit about yourself so ppl can interact with you

^ these can be linked in your description (code example below) and/or a pinned post

Tag navigation: (optional) much better than tumblr's featured tags option imho but if you use a specific tag for certain content/posts, make use of that!

Okay so tumblr is a hellsite but it has a TON of features and things you can do with it if you want. You do need to know some html coding but thankfully it's pretty straightforward and there are a lot of resources out there. I think html is still only editable on web browser/desktop version of tumblr. So you're best bet is to hit the edit theme button below (back to what we talked abt before 😂)

I'm horrible at tutorials btw. And helping people 💀 but fr I love setting up blogs so pls feel free to hmu more! I'm looking forward to another writer in the community! ❤️

#Hope that helps a bit (?) 😭 #Best of luck! #Nonny 🎭 #ez.inbox

[badedramay]

I went through some old asks of yours (sorry in advance if you rolled your eyes at that) and in some ask, regarding the sophisticated or elite class of the industry, in regards to Osman and Maya, you said "and obi was well, obi" My intro to the pak entertainment industry is only a few dramas, mostly the romcom ones which do include Osman, so could you elaborate your statement? That sounded way too formal lol but I doubt I'll find this by googling

ayeee why would i roll my eyes at that? i myself read my old replies when i get in the mood. tumblr is a very effective way of record keeping imho.

and speaking of records, well Obi's start in the industry even before his tv debut is well recorded. his first brush with popculture fame was a very popular parody he did of Humsafar on his youtube channel, The Living Picture Productions. afterwards he made some more such videos which offered sarcastic and humorous takes on the then popular news of the time. plus, being from a very strong theater background, Obi's tastes and opinions have always been well-researched and intellectual. you wouldn't get it now as over the past few years he has limited his social media activity, but Obi has always ALWAYS been very vocal about the social and political climate of the country. he has never shied away from using his platform to do his bits both as a feminist and an ally. he has gone on record to say that he prefers doing projects that empower women and have a social messaging. and all of that has gained him a loyal following as well as severe backlash. specially during the time of Qandeel Baloch's murder, Obi had protested against the injustice that befell her.

on an informal front, his wit is truly one of the best! the man has a smartass reply to any bratty comment he encounters. back when he was starting in the industry it was just refreshing to have a young actor that was well educated, well spoken, yet humble and grounded, and most importantly who KNEW what he was talking about instead of talking out of his ass. his interactions with his co-stars and his fandom gave us many entertaining and memorable moments. oh..his interactions with the fandom xD what fun, what funnn! but also wow kafi scary cuz you cannot be engaging with his man in a battle of words without feeling intimidated. he's good, he's bloody GOOD!

i'd suggest you watch his Youtube videos which are now a decade old so a little dated in terms of video quality and some of them might not have aged well. but they are a very very VERY good introduction to who the core of Obi is as an artist. watch them and then come back and let me know (if you want to totally not if you cannot!) if you understand what I meant by "Obi was well, Obi."
