3 whumpy anime to check out this spring!

Go Go Loser Ranger is a heroes vs. villains anime where the villains are the good guys and the heroes are downright evil. Having wiped out all the powerful monsters more than a decade ago, the heroes keep the weakest monsters captive, to parade around and torment on a weekly basis while the public believes otherwise. Because they're immortal when hit with most weapons, they'll always reform to be hurt over and over again, despite feeling all the pain.

Footsoldier D is one of those weak monsters, an immortal shapeshifter made of dust, called a "duster". After escaping the heroes' arena, he forms a plan to kill the heroes and steal the few weapons they have that can permanently kill dusters, freeing the rest of his kind. Given that he has the constitution of a porcelain doll, he can't use strength to fight: he has to rely on wits, stealth, shapeshifting (despite knowing very little about humans or the outside world), and a shaky alliance with a double-agent ranger who seems to be taking advantage of him for her own gain.

Whump tags: villain whumpee, hero whumper, immortal whumpee

Watch it on Hulu, Disney+, or any unofficial anime site.

And if you don't have time to check out a whole anime, the Go Go Loser Ranger opening theme video is also really good, with fantastic visuals symbolizing D's struggles!

An Archdemon's Dilemma is a romantic comedy stuffed to the brim with popular whump tropes. Zagan is a demonic sorcerer who attends an auction for the possessions of another recently-killed sorcerer, when he sees that one of those "possessions" is an elf slave, Nephelia. Having had a destitute, harsh past himself, he feels a rush of sympathy and buys her way out, vowing to ensure her safety. However, Nephelia is terrified, believing she's about to be used as a sacrifice in a dark magic ritual. And unfortunately for both of them, Zagan is a socially awkward loser who sucks at communicating.

It's surreal seeing something that looks like it could be a caretaker-new-master whump fic as an actual, fully-realized anime. It definitely doesn't take itself too seriously despite the premise, leaning heavily on the "comedy" part of romantic comedy, and is mostly just a silly time with lots of whump-adjacent stuff thrown in. Fanfic-y to the point of "there's only one bed" being an actual line.

Whump tags: fantasy slavery (very pet-whump-esque in its tropes), caretaker new master

Watch it on Crunchyroll or any unofficial anime site.

The Grimm Variations is an anthology of horror retellings of several Brothers Grimm fairy tales. With each episode being written and directed by different people, it varies wildly in quality, with episodes ranging from laughably bad to incredibly good, but I'm here to talk about episode 2: Little Red Riding Hood.

The Little Red Riding Hood takes place in a dystopian future where the upper and middle class use virtual reality technology to augment their reality. One man, Grey, is tired of this and craves the real: specifically, the feeling of real blood spraying him as he murders countless women, his wealth and connections protecting him from consequences. But when this serial killer makes the mistake of targeting a woman called Scarlet, he finds himself on the other side of the knife. This episode is a complete and utter gorefest with multiple onscreen torture scenes.

This isn't even my favorite episode of the series, it's like my 3rd favorite. But episode 2 is the one with the gruesome torture scene, so it's the one that goes in this post.

Little Red Riding Hood whump tags: whumper-turned-whumpee, torture, gore

Little Red Riding Hood warnings: sexual assault, eye gore, fingernail gore, violence against women, major character death

Watch it on Netflix or any unofficial anime site. Orrrr if you just wanna watch the big torture scene without any of the context, it's on Youtube.

that's all I have for now :)

(P.S: Dungeon Meshi, while not really whumpy as a whole, is also currently airing and very very good and I might write whump fanfic for it at some point in the near future. Netflix or any unofficial anime site.)

So this just happened

Me, in my local library: Hello, do you have Dungeon Meshi? It's become popular recently because the anime released on Netflix and I'd like to read the manga Librarian: Hm... We don't seem to have it but it's on Chel's list of suggestions... I'll call her and see if she plans on ordering them. Librarian, on the phone: Yeah Chel? There's someone asking for Dungeon Meshi because apparently it's gotten popular thanks to Netflix... *to me* She says the Netflix serie is very good! Me: IT IS!! Librarian: And you... You're up there? What do you mean- *looks up* Oh Chel, from the open balcony just above us: I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR SO LONG FOR SOMEONE TO ASK FOR THIS SERIE!! IT'S SO GOOD! Me: I know, I binged it all last night! Chel: You know what, leave us your name, so if we do order it, you'll be the first to know!

#gotta love libraries man #i felt very privileged #basically they can't really order a serie if not enough people are asking for it #and i was the first to ask for Dungeon Meshi #obviously Chel isn't the other librarian's real name #but yeah Chel is a legend qjofbosqdf #support your local libraries

some laios from dungeon meshi 🤍

i haven’t read any of the manga yet, only seen the first netflix episode, but i’m planning on getting it! i love senshi a lot so far too~ (new kin alert)

Here to answer some of your questions!!!

1. Dungeon Meshi is a fantasy manga by Ryoko Kui turned Netflix original anime about a dungeon party looking to save their party member and primary healer, Falin, after she got eaten by a dragon. The Himbo Knight is named Laios and he's Falin's older brother (also he's the leader of the party). The other members include Marcille, a (half) elf magic user; Chilchuck, their half-foot locksmith (he's also a union member, like worker's rights type of union); and their new ally, Senshi, the dwarf that has a love for food and nature. While searching for Falin, Laios showcases his long term desire to eat monster meat and it becomes one of the main gags of the show (hence the name "Dungeon Meshi," Meshi = Food). The world building is super cool and the plot does get more complex later on but it's written very well and I would recommend it.

2. Sorry, idk about this one.

3. In 2014 some people tried to make a Tumblr based convention called "Dashcon" and the event did NOT go well in any way. From poor planning to poor general behavior, it was overall a shitshow. They had a ballpit that was just a kiddie pool filled with plastic balls and at some point someone pissed in it (yuck!)

4. I'm not super informed on this but Colleen Hoover is a Young Adult novelist that writes so... many... books... and they tend to be YA Romance but from what I know they often involve a lot of harmful and romanticized tropes, like abuse. (Side Note: I used to work at a Target and there was a good few months where her novels made up the bulk of our book sales.)

5. There's a tumblr user know as Sixpenceee and she has family that live in Bangladesh. When she went to visit them she mentioned that her family there has a child servant (at the time the kid was 8, I'm not sure if they had more child servants or if the kid is still with them now) and when people were expressing concerns over it she was very dismissive of it and basically saying that while she doesn't condone child labour herself, it's her family that does and that it's a normal thing in that culture (it's really not, because there's a difference between hired help and like, actually buying a school aged child). She also did a bunch of other things people don't like her for but that's the "child slave" part.)

6. The Throckmorton (or Throcky) meme comes from a photo of someone's physics textbook that mentions "your cousin Throckmorton“ who skateboards. People were confused at the name choice which brought up the initial discussion. The joke is that he's everyone's cousin and he shreds on a skateboard like no other.

7. I'll be completely honest and say yes, personally, I do enjoy pineapple on pizza. Lots of people don't. We can all have separate pizzas, it's okay.

Thank you for your heartfelt answers, stranger! also thanks to everyone who replied to my og post, i wasn’t expecting so many detailed answers so I think I understand Tumblr way better now 😭 Hope y’all have a great day, happy April!

I can't remember if you or I ever replied to our last message? Doesn't matter. I can only remember parts of our last conversation before you went back to school. Wait.. Was it school? I'm not remembering many things lately. My mind is so scattered that I can't remember anything.

I don't care if a story is cliche or not. The story could be traditional, or untraditional, maybe somewhere in between. If the artwork and plots are interesting to me, I'll enjoy the story. But that's just how I am.

And Yuto Sano's artwork has a unique style that is very recognizable.

Yeah.. They're xNTJs. I have my fair share of favorite characters that's also xNTJ personality types too. Do you know your assessments? You might've told me before, I can't remember. I haven't been thinking too much lately. Were you an INFJ? What are your personality types?

Anyway.

Honestly? My mental health, the depression, is coming and going for some time. But I've been depressed lately because one of my favorite musicians died, he died on April 15th, he was a musician whose band I grew up with. So there is a part of me who is still after many weeks.

And if that was not already depression enough, there's also two other bands I listen kinda disbanded. Bands disbanded, musicians died just within barely five months; while in those five months, there's so many bands and musicians I listen to that have releasing lots of new music.

So my mental health is up and down these last few months.

Oh! I don't watch the show Queen Of Tears. But I have seen clips from one episode.. Song Joongki came back as Vincenzo in a n episode, as a cameo character. So it's interesting to me. Vincenzo season two?!

I have many new seasons of shows to look forward to.. And not a new show, but I've just been rewatching Black Sails since they added it on Netflix. Watch it! There's positive queer representation in the series.

Besides that. Now that Song Kang went to the military, I've was really bing watching a lot of his shows too. The final season of Sweet Home will be released in the summer. Many new seasons releases this year.

Have you watched Parasyte? The Korean show based off the manga. I think the show was okay. The show was different than what I thought was gonna happen though, somewhat similar concept to the original.

Hm.

I know that I sound like a mess. My mind's completely scattered now.

yeah sadly i think our convo ended for a while after i went back to work (im a teacher so you’re technically not wrong that i went back to school haha). it’s nearing the end of the school year again so it’s been crazily busy as always, but im looking forward to summer vacation :)

i don't remember if i've mentioned my personality type before, but you got it right! i am INFJ if you did happen to just guess it would shock me. it’s been a while since i took the personality test so i wonder if it would have changed

ahh im sorry to hear that! which musician was it that passed? i hope your health improve these coming days, take care of yourself 💓

i’ll check out black sails! im always on the lookout for good queer representation, so thank you for the recommendations 🥰 i haven’t watched parasyte, but i know a little bit of what it’s about. i think i will eventually watch the anime when i catch up with everything else i have to finish lol. right now i’m hooked on bleach and dungeon meshi, so i plan on finishing those ones first!
