made a chart of the straw hats' skin tones with the colors being screencapped directly from the episodes, to show how much they've lightened.
this is more than just an "artstyle change" or "design evolution" or "just the timeskip" this is blatant racism/colorism. it's fucking ridiculous and i don't understand how toei is continuously getting away with it
please reblog btw, i think this is something people should see
a buddy of mine proposed this club for some of our friend circle as a joke and i said i don't even care if it's real, i need to make a poster advertising it, because we're already living it every day
Sorry if your requests are closed, but I had an idea. Could you please draw Pootis and Medimedes? I think they'd look awesome in your style!
Wanted to wait till the new episode comes out and there it is!!! Ouuu drawing medipootis is actually such a great stress relief their shapes are nice and cute
We were all gobsmacked when we saw Adam curbstomp Alastor in battle, but it's shocking on rewatch to see blood. Alastor's blood. On Adam's sword!
Alastor, the Radio Demon and a feared overlord in Hell, he's certainly powerful, but this showed that he is not invincible. Nobody in the show seemingly is, not even Adam and the angels, but Alastor builds his reputation on fear, and look at him here. He has been kicked down hard enough to actually bleed.
Everyone is talking about how he was on the verge of a breakdown because of his own situation of being trapped in a deal (possibly with Lilith) but I think his fear comes more from feeling helpless. Take a look at this shot.
He is bent over, clutching at the injury on his chest, the same place where Adam struck him and spilled his blood because he can still feel it, feel pain. He is terrified that he, who without a doubt spills plenty of blood on a good day for fun, bleeds too. That notion clearly horrifies him enough to trigger his panic and genuine fear. The fear that he bleeds too and is not as powerful as he strives so hard to make himself out to be.
Oh mah gawd. He doesn't let anyone touch him unless they're his friends.
If they aren't his friends, he'll either lean away or wipe off his hand. He hates being touched if he's not the one initiating it, to the point of wiping his sleeve off when Lucifer's hat just BARELY grazed against it.
He didn't wipe his shoulder off when Charlie stopped touching him either.
AND!!!
And!!!
Before You Say 'He did lean away', or 'She wasnt actually touching him, her hand was just near him', Take A Look At This!!
Look closely at how he moves when she splits them up. He doesn't lean away, she SHOVED him. She actively MOVED him. That wasn't an 'oh she's making contact with me, guess I should lean away', it was a 'well she's shoving me now, I'll shut up for a minute'.
Which also proves she WAS touching him. She couldn't have shoved him if she wasn't making contact.
He didn't lean away from it, he didn't retaliate. The ONLY people he lets touch him are people he cares for. And not only did she put her hand on his shoulder, she actively pushed him back, and he showed no sign of discomfort towards it. So why am I screaming about this?
Because he DOES care! It proves he cares for her. Don't get me wrong, I still think saying he's her 'dad' is a bit of a strech, but he does care enough to let her touch him. He doesn't dislike or even have a neutral opinion on her. She's his friend, even if just a little bit.
Just an edit to clarify; I know 'friends' is probably also not the best word to use, but it's just the easiest way for me to describe it.
