Making my Family Trees of the Multiverse and I gotta say, the weirdest part about it is... how much whiter it got??

You’d instinctively think that it used to be very, very white and then, with more modern runs, more characters of color and representation were added. Or, at least I thought so.

But quite honestly, the more I read up on the differences in Pre-Crisis, New Earth and Prime Earth, they cut so many characters of color with the Prime Earth reboot.

And with many, it makes a vague sense that they didn’t appear straight away since Prime Earth was a full reboot, setting most characters back to their very beginning and making them work up toward the status quo pre-reset. But at this point it’s been years and a Convergence and Rebirth and they still haven’t found the time to re-introduce and re-imagine those characters?

Just, right now looking at the Aqua Family, I just learned that Arthur had a Japanese half-sister, the daughter of a Japanese heroine - who, both, have never made the cut in any way or shape in the Prime Earth continuity (and, granted, Arthur’s parentage changed and their shared dad was retired, but Tsunami and Deep Blue themselves could have still made appearances??).

Arthur also had an Inuit son, and neither that son nor his Inuit mother have made the cut.

And then there is Lorena Marquez, of course! The second Aquagirl, who is also a Latina woman. Who made her first Prime Earth appearance in Dark Crisis, aka really-very recently, and not once during the past Aquaman run.

But Arthur, Mera, Garth and Tula stayed constant. And yes, Prime Earth did give us Jackson Hyde.

Still, this is a really weird trend where I am hitting a whole lot “New Earth exclusive” dead-ends on characters of color.

There's this idea I've seen around occasionally, and it always baffles me, that participating in fandom for adult animation is somehow cringe or lesser than participating in fandom for anime/manga, video games, live action shows, or even cartoons made for kids. I don't understand it at all.

And when I say "participating in fandom" I mean people who draw Family Guy fanart, people who write South Park fanfic, people who ship Beavis and Butthead, and yes, even people who draw Marge Simpson as an e-girl or whatever.

I don't understand why there's this need by people to point out "man, it's CRAZY and WACKY and WEIRD that you're investing time into this media I don't consume!" Like thanks? Go back to talking about your silly thing and leave people alone.

Everyone has a right to engage in/find MEANING in media, whether you think it's the "wrong kind" or not. A show with dick jokes and crude, edgy humor can still have a lasting impact on the people who make it a part of their weekly routine to sit down and watch the new episodes, or even just revisit old ones when they're down.

I'm just saying that if you can sit down and form an emotional attachment to Lucky Star, an animated comedy full of references to its countries media and culture, I don't see why someone can't form an emotional attachment to something like Aqua Teen Hunger Force, an animated comedy full of references to its countries media and culture.

Sometimes people appreciate a piece of Media Produce beyond watching funny moments compilations on YouTube, and that's normal and fine and healthy. Draw Frylock and Master Shake kissing, it's okay. Write about Kenny and Butters as middle aged men in love. Draw Beavis and Butthead yaoi. Write Clone High yuri. Be free.

After reading the DC Pride issue, I have some questions about Earth-11. Specifically about how the characters “translate” onto Earth Prime.

Because looking at the line-up of the Teen Justice up above, the translation is pretty darn obvious with them all, especially when you hear most of the very, uh, let’s say uncreative names they came up for the genderbend versions of their characters (Donna Troy just being called Donald to keep the ‘Don’...).

And then there’s Jess, who’s kind of the main character and who - as I know from the Future State Justice League, will travel to Earth Prime and be a part of that too. But... they don’t seem to have a counter-part on Earth Prime, do they? They’re like the only fully original character.

In theory, the Flash counterpart should correspond with Earth Prime’s Wally West - the Kid Flash who grew up into becoming the Flash. But Jess isn’t a West, or an Allen, they’re a Quick. And - now comes the part where I am mildly unsure - but aren’t the Quicks also canon on Prime Earth? I tried reading up on that, but it’s like “she was canon and then Flashpoint happened and she was lost in the Speed Force but now she is back”, so technically... aunt Jesse, as a woman and a speedster, does exist as such on Earth Prime too? Which is a bit peculiar, because it feels more like a “what if no Barry Allen” approach, while all other heroes are approached with a different angle.

And that still leaves me with the question of “Where’s Barry Allen?”, does that character as a concept just not exist on Earth-11? Or is this similar to how on The Flash show, Henry Allen was a counter-part to Jay Garrick through naming and genetics shenanigans? That somehow, through different marriages or name-taking, Jesse Quick actually is Barry Allen...?

Or are the Quicks the counter-part to Earth Prime’s Quicks? Where this aunt Jesse is actually meant to counter Johnny Quick, while Jess Quick from Earth-11 is the counter to Jesse Quick from Earth Prime? (But then still the question of “Where is Barry?” remains.)

And okay yes, I am a bit hung up on this, but that’s because everyone aside from the Flash Fam seems to just be such a very, very straight-forward genderbend of their main timeline counterparts, even if the design doesn’t give it away, the names will. Donna is Donald, Robin and Supergirl, Klarienne for Klarion.

There’s just one more that confuses me, mainly with the design though. Because while I know that this Aquagirl is supposed to be the counterpart to Jackson Hyde - and is even named Jacqui Hyde - she doesn’t look like Jackson at all.

The very first time I looked at her, I thought she was Mareena Curry.

Tell me the girl in the middle - Jacqui Hyde - doesn’t look more like Mareena on the right than she does like Jackson Hyde on the left. Jackson’s blonde, not white-haired, his color-scheme is dark-orange, not turquoise. Heck, even in a genderbent version, you could also keep his dreadlocks, but instead Jacqui has this straightened and strictly combed back hair-style, just like Mareena does. Even the style of her costume, not just its color-scheme, is incredibly similar to Mareena’s.

Everything else about Earth-11 seems so very straight-forward, to the point that some of them are very eye-roll worthy in their lack of creativity. Only those two stand out so much and it makes me wonder.

This panel rly made me wonder which side of the family Aqua got his height from cause neither Kamiki or Ai is overly tall 😭

Like Ai is around 4’11 I believe and look at this comparison between middle school Hikaru and middle school Aqua ( he’s around 5’7 )

#oshi no ko spoilers #I’m thinking Kamiki had a growth spurt given Ai’s mother is not very tall either #but still its very funny to imagine him towering over the rest of the family lmao #if he wasn’t copy pasted kamiki he would never beat the adopted allegations lmao #oshi no ko #aqua hoshino #onk #onk anime #ruby hoshino #eiko won’t stfu

can i interest you in a penny for your thoughts about aqua and ruby's relationship in the current stages of the manga? ruby's clearly projecting and im pretty sure aqua is kind of blocking that entire conversation? hes acknowledged it but i think hes avoiding thinking too much about it (in part due to *waves hand at entire movie arc* all that)

gosh since you've twisted my arm i have NO CHOICE...

But yeah, I think Ruby is pretty clearly doing a lot of projecting here — the consistency with which she's started calling Aqua 'Sensei' really jumps out to me and it makes me pretty certain she's basically completely overwritten Aqua with Gorou in her brain, completely discarding the 18ish years he's lived as her brother in favour of just viewing him as the doctor who supported her.

This is a two-part process of denial, imo. The first and most obvious is Ruby trying to convince herself that her supposed romance with Gorou can still happen and it's not the first time her sort of naive stubbornness on that topic has come up — we saw this before during the Private arc when it came to their age gap.

Like girl, I respect the cope but he would be nearly fifty old by now. That man would be old enough to be your dad LMFAO.

If Ruby can delulu herself about an age gap of that size, she can easily also come up with an excuse for herself as to why she would be able to date him now he's her brother. I mean, if you think about it, they're not really actually twins, right? They're just strangers who happened to be born together! Since he's really Gorou and NOT!!!!! her brother, there's nothing wrong with it!

It should go without saying that this is a pretty absurd justification and imo, not one I think the manga is wanting the reader to uncritically buy into. Ruby's feelings here are, I think, intentionally being portrayed as naive and pretty childish. The framing around Ruby when she talks about Aqua in this regard is consistently exaggerated and comedic in a way that is a pretty clear signal, at least to me, that she should not be taken seriously.

This could only read more plainly as shoujo brainrot exaggeration if Aqua's chin was seven inches long and sharp enough to cut glass...

Beyond the denial of convincing herself that this romance still has any chance to happen, I also think this is denial in the sense of grief, too. In a very real sense, by entirely superimposing Gorou over Aqua, Ruby is denying that his death has happened at all. She doesn't want to acknowledge the possibility that he could be different now, especially not in any way that is emotionally inconvenient for her. Because acknowledging that this change occurred and that Gorou is no longer the Gorou she needs him to be would force Ruby to accept that her beloved sensei really is gone forever.

It should go without saying but this erasure of Aqua's identity is, of course, cruel. It's a dehumanizing rejection of his personhood. That's not to say that Ruby is A Bad Person for doing this— she's a fucked up kid dealing with a INSANELY fucked up situation and I think it would be unreasonable to expect her to handle all this entirely gracefully. But I also don't know that Ruby is even aware that she's doing what she's doing, because she doesn't quite get that her relationship with her identities and her reincarnation is different to his.

The continuity of identity between Sarina and Ruby is more or less entirely unbroken— she sees herself equally as both girls. More specifically, as Ruby herself puts it in 115, Sarina and Ruby are both 'roles' played by the 'real her'; both equal in weight and authenticity. I think she expects this to be the same for Aqua as well but this simply is not the case, or at least it's not anymore.

My read on Aqua's identity is that while he used to have a similarly unbroken continuity of identity, the trauma of witnessing Ai's death created a split and separated the two. It's not that Aqua is entirely separate from Gorou or entirely unaffected by his past life but Aqua himself & the supporting framing of the manga draws a pretty clear line of distinction between the two of them that does not seem to exist for Ruby and Sarina. In fact, Gorou is explicitly portrayed as a negative, invading force, an unnatural encroacher whose presence in Aqua's life is actively preventing him from finding happiness and stability.

To Ruby, it seems natural for these two identities to comingle, or for one's priorities to cancel the other's out. For Aqua, this same overriding of priorities is the thing that causes him anguish. In fact, I don't think it's too much of a leap for me to say that Aqua does not want to be Gorou full stop.

With all that laid out, I think you can pretty easily see how that conflict starts writing itself. Ruby ignoring and erasing the 18 years that Aqua has lived as her brother to assign him the identity of a man he doesn't want to be... the discomfort of someone he has only ever had familial feelings towards projecting romance onto him... the Squick of it all... no wonder Aqua is doing his best to just not deal with it. I can't really blame him.

Something I also think is informing Aqua's behavior right now is guilt. As he puts it to Memcho in 130, he's using everything he can to ensure the movie's success and I think this also includes manipulating Ruby.

We get some hints at this idea from Crow Girl both in 123 and 127. She sardonically notes "aren't you glad?" that Ruby seems to have reacted so positively to this reveal and explicitly ties Ruby's wellbeing to Aqua being able to make the movie. Later, after Aqua's just witnessed the final script be delivered to the B-Komachi girls, she notes that Aqua has the expression of a person who has made the choice to "hurt people and to get hurt".

Ruby's shoujo brain reads of Aqua's intentions also are important in establishing this, I think -- these clearly read as intended comedy beats to me, both in their exaggeration and the fact that she is so obviously misreading Aqua's character and his intentions because of her rose tinted glasses. As that Netflix show about the cartoon show once said, the thing about seeing someone through rose tinted glasses is that all the red flags just look like flags. In keeping Ruby happy, Aqua is making sure she herself doesn't become inconvenient to the movie's creation.

I think you can see that idea of like, guilt and discomfort manifesting as avoidance in the twins' first proper on-page exchange since this reveal, in 132:

I didn't catch this initially (so sorry to the person on the OnK subreddit who did -- I completely forgot your UN!) but not only do we never get a proper unobscured look at Aqua's face during this exchange but he also never once looks directly at Ruby as they talk. His body language & expression at the end (literally averting his gaze!) just screams discomfort to me.

That's not to say that Aqua revealing himself to her was entirely cynically motivated -- I think he completely genuinely loves her both as her brother, Aqua, and as Gorou, the man who cared for a deathly sick child when she had no one else in the world by her side. But that's just the problem— Aqua's love for her is the thing that makes his manipulation of her so painful. He's taking advantage of his sister's emotional vulnerability and their unique connection to use her in a way that completely betrays and desecrates the bond of trust they should otherwise share. And he's aware that if (or, as I'm beginning to worry, when) this comes out, Ruby is going to crash even harder as a result.
