#ALSO THE WEIRD FUN MIX OF ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY AND HISTORICAL/OLD TIMEY STUFF

[hungryslothwrites]

if i had a nickel for every piece o' media that had a deep irreversible impact on my brain chemistry when i was young and whose protagonist refused solid gender titles and asserted themselves by their names i would have two nickels.

#tropes #sloth log #nimona #kino no tabi #“i'm. nimona." iconic #“please don't call me miss. my name is kino” / “please don't call me 'boy'. my name is kino” PARAPHRASING it's been so long #funnily enough they are on vaguely opposite ends of the violence spectrum #nimona will kill a man on slightest provocation #kino would only do so if there was genuinely no other way to get out of the situation and would rather just hit da bricks #(aka a tale of feeding off of others - i want to live. one of my favorites gah. IT'S ALSO UP ON YOUTUBE!!) #don't forget the guy ambiguously motivated by revenge (depends on novel or movie for nimona) who accidentally adopts/befriends a child #though in kino no tabi it's not kino who gets adopted #ALSO THE WEIRD FUN MIX OF ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY AND HISTORICAL/OLD TIMEY STUFF #uhhhh what else #both protagonists have short hair #HAVE TRAGIC BACKSTORIES INVOLVING THEIR FAMILY/DISAGREEING OR NOT FITTING IN WITH THEIR SOCIETY #this is a reach at this point but i adore these two
