For once my ask blog is finally empty..
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now it is time to discuss some important stuff.
I fuckin love interacting with everybody and the tadc gang, as I remodeled this blog into Velvette it felt actually fun for once. I loved rping as Abstract Kaufmo but eventually the endless angst requests got tiring.. and when I found out about Velvette I automatically took the opportunity to play a character I truly love and the fact that I fuckin love antagonists and villians.
But may I say that admist this journey of fun there been a journey of hell.
Yes you. You fucking anons that keep on pestering me for more angst, asking where kaufmo, or trying to control the blog lore into a specific lore genre. Hell no. Interactive Lore means letting EVERYBODY decide what happens... it can be chaotic at times annoying even.. but that's the beauty of free speech and creativity.. everything is completely randomized.. and your always taking risks.. hell. The anime kakegurui taught me one thing... and one thing only. How to gamble at anything.
Letting the anons aka you anonymous people control the blog lore by funni or chaotic asks has been hilarious to watch and read.. I even loved getting to meet different people and interactive with them during this journey.. but I wish to say something serious now.
When me and @ask-cna-tadc used to share this blog.. the main problem we had.. was trying to not make the lore and rps stay as a specific genre but also to try to have fun.. we get it you guys adore angst.. but eventually it got tiring and we never bother trying to do anything at first because it would defeat the purpose of letting this blog's lore be ran by the anons for shitz and giggles but now as we grow I jusy want to get this off my chest while I'm still awake, my eyes are burning, I won't remember the shit I fucking types here cause I'm sweating balls right now and it's 11pm...
I'm fucking tired. I'm bored. And I'm stressed out.
Im tired of constantly trying to do funni wholesome shit or funni villian events only for it to automatically turn into angst once more.. it's fun to commit angst asks but ITS FUCKING ANNOYING to keep on repeatedly getting the same requests then with the constant @ ing spamming I'm worried I might upset ppl or seem annoying due to my intense irl sociophobia, adhd, and introvertness where at times I get too stressed over the littlest things because I adore creativity, writing, and having fun..
Sorry for this long ass rant that you guys probably won't give a shit about helm I won't remember the shit I typed here but uh what else do I gotta say oh right.
Stopped the fucking force shippings
Stop enforcing the angst
Stop the constant bullshit of "may I kiss caine, can you bathe the rabbits, can I fuck the rabbits, etc."
Bloodly hell.
I'm tired of waking up to getting my hopes up on trying to find wholesome asks or stories to read to just get the creativity juices flowing, make some funni events, idfk.. cure my damn 15 or 17 year depression just to see the same damn asks that make you wish to just 🔪🩸🍆 an anon.
The fuck am I trying to make a point of again oh right uh
Stop the vulldhit plz okay I'm aviator to pass out now and my autocorrext going crazy.m good night love you all I do smut on character ai bye 6sexu

DMC Questions Anon here!
Create a crossover! What is Devil May Cry crossing over with? How does it work? How do the characters from each world interact with the characters from the other?
Look, ya'll see my username, u know I'm gonna go with Pokémon.
specifically I'm thinking about pokemon naturally existing within the human realm, and demons are almost entirely separate from them. So all of the human characters have pokemon partners, with some exceptions.
All of the Spardas have a pseudo-legendary, and Dante specifically has Tyranitar. I wanted this line specifically because this species is known for causing a lot of damage, but have also been shown to be very sweet and protective if need be. It really fits Dante's 'don't come near me, I'm dangerous' mindset until Patty climbs all over it and it utterly adores her. It's also a hugger, so much so that Dante actively lets himself get poked to Hell because it looks sad.
As for Vergil, I'm going with the Salamence line. It's a very interesting line, having a goal-driven lizard eventually achieve that goal in the final stage. Vergil would have a hard time working with his partner, especially in 3 (where it would be a Bagon), because demons don't have pokemon partners. He leaves Bagon with Dante when he falls into Hell, thinking that the pokemon would not be able to survive there. It would stay with Dante for decades after that, until finally reuniting with Vergil as a Shelgon in DMC 5. It would take a bit, but it would eventually evolve after the boys got back from hell. Dante will forever lord the fact that his partner fully evolved before Vergil's (until Salamence smacks him with a Dragon Claw. Vergil approved.)
Nero would definitely have the Dragapult line! A dragon type (like Salamence) that has a large focus on family in its design whist also being completely unique from most other pseudos? Yeah, it's chock full of Nero vibes. The Dragapult evolution definitely only happened at the end of DMC 5, becuase the image of a Dragapult and DT Nero fighting with Silver Bullet in the bg is so fuckin sick. Also he was a Dreepy during DMC 4 and u need to know that he loved to sit on Nero's head or in his hoodie.
Patty next because propaganda. This one's up for grabs, but I think her first partner was a Dratini! Specifically one that kept showing up in the DMC office until Dante shoved it into Patty's arms. She's a Dragonair now, and often flies around the office just to annoy Dante. Also, shoutout to Patty for being the only human to get a pseudo because she's Dante's kid.
Trish didn't have a partner at first, since she was a demon. After going off on her own for a while, she ran into a Wattrel that kept using her motorcycle's wind to glide in the air. She found the little thing tenacious, and now there's a Kilowattrel half the size of Lady that perches in the DMC office rafters. It's high speed nature complements her fighting style rather well, along with the electricity.
Lady's partner is an extremely violent Scolipede. She really big and very venomous, so most regular people steer clear of her. She is also very tsundere, but actually doesn't mind when Dante or Trish are around. Lady takes great care of her, and often rides her in during jobs. Most people would tell you that's a horrible idea, but DMC employees are not normal people. Also Vergil was shot by one of her needles in DMC 3 when she was a Venipede, and now they are locked in a bitter rivalry. Lady thinks this is hilarious.
Nico is very happy with her Riolu partner, even if it was a gift from her dad when it was an egg. She doted on it very often, and even forced Rock to help her make a special egg warmer. When it did hatch, it quickly shared her interest in the art of metalworking and gunsmithing. Nowadays, he's Nico's assistant. He hasn't evolved yet, but Nico doesn't mind. He will when he's ready.
Kyrie's partner is a Sylveon, and a very caring one at that. Loves the kids, Kyrie, and Nero. Was an Eevee during DMC 4, and refused to leave Nero's side after Kyrie was kidnapped. Because of that, she is actually incredibly strong, so much so that Salamence was immediate put on edge when they met.
Some quick ones! Eva gave Sparda a Dieno when they met, and it was a very affectionate Hydregion during the boys' youth. Eva herself had a Alolan Ninetales, who was very protective of the boys and the baby pseudos. Both of these Pokemon are actually still alive in a rehabilitation center, although the boys don't know that rn. Morrison has an old Stoutland who can surprisingly handle battle quite well. Nina's partner is a very majestic and battle worn Kingdra, who is currently enjoying retirement. V did not have any pokemon, but he does talk about one he regrets leaving behind in the past....
And... that all their main partners! They actually have other pokemon as well, but these were just their first ones. As an example, Dante also has a Houndoom that he befriended in DMC 3 (as a Houndour) that knows a lot of bite moves. Why? King Cerberus rep for the mutual Coverage. Elemental coverage.
Thanks again DMC Questions anon! I really enjoyed this ask, even if I did flex my pokemon knowledge a bit please ask me questions I will write an essay to answer u-

I have seen like zero movies with adult metalheads, where they were serious characters and not just cartoonish joke of a character. Bit sad. 😥😤
I agree that there needs to be more of them. There's not a large pool of movies or media that give metalheads a fair(ish) take, BUT... I do have some stuff I wanna share that I love, and while some of it can feel cartoonish, it's not without its deep cuts either. Let me plead my case...
Tumblr media
Airheads is a movie I will die for. It's got mother fucking Brendan Fraser in it, and it has one of the only roles that Steve Buscemi has played where I kinda wanted to fuck him... Adam Sandler is fine in it, too, oddly enough. And it's just a totally underrated movie I feel like everyone has heard of but rarely watched.
Tumblr media
Lords of Chaos flew under my radar for many years until my best buddy @gomakeawaffle forced me to watch it. It's quiet, heavy, metal as fuck, and does an amazing job of telling about the band Mayhem. The aesthetics alone are worth the watch.
Tumblr media
Okay, Deathgasm is cute and fun, and I'll die on this hill. I've seen so many people get into this movie, spot the preppy blonde and turn it off. Like... if they had just watched another 15 minutes, they'd see that chick turn into a metal-loving battle maiden wielding a fire axe against demons. It's hilarious and adorable, and it's just plain fucking fun. It's also probably got the best metalhead rep of them all.
Tumblr media
Wayne's World... enough said... (That Alice Cooper Scene. LOL)
Tumblr media
Is Brutal Legends over the top? Yes. Is it stupid? Yes. Does it have an amazing soundtrack? Yes. Is it a love letter to all metalheads everywhere? YES. This game is the fucking shit, and it's still fun a fuck to play now as it was on the 360. Eddie is just... ugh, such a fucking charmer (how can you not love Jack Black too??)
Tumblr media
I've been watching Metalocalypse since it first aired on Adult Swim, and I even got to meet Brendon Small (the voice of Nathan Splosion) while I was doing B-roll for Adult Swim Fest in my hometown in 2010. It doesn't have a very decent ending, so like... if no one's watched it, be warned going in. They canceled it, then came back and tried to wrap it up with a long final episode that was pretty meh. Every episode is basically a loose plot followed by a song number and a blood bath, but there's some fun behind-the-scenes manipulation plot that's a blast as it goes on. Also... GILFs... and a spikey codpiece...
Tumblr media
Alright, Onward has nothing to do with metal, but it's got one of the most lovable metalheads I've ever seen. I feel like Barley is a culmination of every metalhead I knew in high school. Fuckin' dork, lovable, just are unapologetically themselves. Also, Gwendoline does have a sweet-ass paint job.
Tumblr media
I mean... Stranger Things really had some rough times, but Eddie Munson stole everyone's hearts, so like... Hnnnn, he's just utter perfection, right down to the musical high horse he charges into battle on. XD
Man... we need more metal content. If anyone has some stuff I should check out, PLEASE PLEASE let me know. <3

I would love to hear about your crime=queer reading of The Hoodlum Priest!
the simple answer is that it's exactly what it says on the tin: i watch the film and pretend like the way the ex-convicts - and, to some extent, father clark, as the only person who is willing to engage with them on their own terms - are treated is a metaphor for the way queer people were treated by society in that era. namely they're outcasts, denied work and housing and legal representation, treated with extreme prejudice, existing on the edges of society and othered by 'squares' (non-criminals). the entire plot centres around clark's attempts to carve a safe space for convicts in this world - the halfway house where they're among people who share their experiences and have an actual support network
(and like. obviously this film isn't actually doing queer subtext. it's very straightforward about its message re: crime and rehabilitation and death penalty and what have you. but it just so happens that all the struggles that the ex-convicts go through are ALSO things that apply to queer people)
then of course we have the main thing that makes me eat queer drywall about hoodlum priest, which is the entire dynamic of the relationship between father clark and billy. it's... a lot
pretty sure this was more a limitation of them not being allowed to have anybody say swearwords (bc it's the 1960s and they would have gone directly to movie jail for it), but i have to mention this because it made me do the most hilarious double take when i watched the film. so basically the criminals all talk kinda weird, and when billy and his friend pio first visit clark, he grills them about their (really bad and not well thought out) plan for a heist, to the point where billy gets pissed and runs off. at which point pio turns to clark and goes "you queered it. you queered it; what'd you do that for?" and listen, i KNOW they mean it in the sense of "you messed with him/annoyed him" but COME ONNNNNN
there's the obvious one, of course: "preach to me, daddy," billy says snarkily, with his shirt unbuttoned halfway down his chest, while in a crowded elevator with clark standing directly behind him. what a normal and heterosexual thing to do
in turn, clark affectionately calls billy "little guy" throughout the film. it's kind of adorable right until the point where it becomes THE MOST HEARTWRENCHING THING IN THE UNIVERSE
"little guy" is a nickname he seems to use for all the young ex-convicts who come to him for help. as evidenced by the fact that he also calls pio that when he and billy first visit. and by this i mean that clark opens the door for them with his shirt partially unbuttoned, not in his Priest Outfit, and goes "heya, little guy~" in the MOST suggestive tone possible i stg. like the vibe of it is straight up that he thought pio was there for a quick dicking
after the aforementioned Preach To Me, Daddy incident, clark takes billy under his wing and helps him find proper work. the first step to this is taking billy clothes shopping and buying him a nice shirt. sugar daddy behaviour
also jsyk billy pulls his old shirt off to try on the new one in the middle of the store with clark right there and watching. again, a very normal and heterosexual thing to do. zero qualms about undressing in front of another man (side effect of two years in prison, perhaps. but also prisons are kind of notorious for homosexual activity, aren't they)
i'm not sure how to categorise the watermelon thing. it's very odd and whimsical. but i'm putting it up for consideration. fellas, is it gay to break open a watermelon on the fuckin pavement and eat it while crouching next to another man and you're both smiling like goofballs?
every single (antagonistic) character in this film spends a significant amount of their screentime side-eyeing the clark/billy situation SO incredibly hard. at the fundraising party for the halfway house, the reporter guy whose name i refuse to remember runs into billy and comments "ah, so you're the one father clark has on display today, huh?" (and then proceeds to write an article trying to ruin clark's reputation by insinuating really bad shit about him based on his association with the criminals he tries to help)
mario, the brother of the guy who owns the produce market billy gets a job at thanks to clark, calls him "priest boy" at one point. correction: multiple times, actually! again the implication that there's something to their relationship that others consider strange/suspicious. mario also just generally spends all of his screentime making billy's life difficult - he's the one who accuses billy of stealing stuff which leads to him getting fired and kickstarts the downward spiral the plot goes into
billy theoretically has a heterosexual love interest (a woman whose name i'm not sure we are ever told in the film, but who i think is called either helen or ellen if i remember imdb correctly), who could in fact provide him with an alibi for when the theft at the produce market happened because he says he was with her at the time. and then he... refuses to give her name and address when they want to confirm it with her. you can read this as him being cagey and defensive bc he doesn't trust 'squares' and just wants to be left alone. OR you can interpret it as him having been with someone else that night (and if they question helen/ellen, they'll figure that out)
the finale is incredibly sad and upsetting, yes. but also billy is almost entirely naked, drenched in sweat and breathing heavily and clark is constantly VERY, VERY CLOSE to and touching him
"father? too tight" - again, sad and upsetting and i am screaming & crying about it. still very horny when taken out of context though
(on that note btw, it's genuinely insane how much this film invites us to look at billy's body. he's constantly exerting himself, sweaty or in various states of undress. "on display", as the reporter guy would say)
anyway, that's the gist of the 'crime = queer' reading. thanks for coming to my ted talk

Your hcs about the moms are so great but they also made me realize that even in happy AUs they don't really get a happy ending because the tragedy of their parents informs so much about the main characters that changing that and maintaining the original characterization would be difficult. Still to alleviate that a bit, what would their moms be like as grandmas if they had lived to see A-Fu?
you've absolutely hit the nail on the head - the trauma of parental death + being forced to grow up so early/take that parental role informs SO MUCH about the personalities and issues within in 3zun, and I think that's why I've not really explored it much even in the Happy AU.
...that said, @guqin-and-flute and I have discussed a sort of "AU of the AU" situation for the A-Fu 'verse where Meng Shi survives. she helped Meng Yao hide Xichen during the war (a whole kind of hilarious concept of its own tbh), and once JGS is well and truly out of the picture, after some strategic prodding from Yanli, Zixuan buys out her contract. ideally she would have been brought to live in Koi Tower, but the danger to her from Zixuan's mother just isn't worth it, so JGY sets her up all nice and comfortable with a little house and a good doctor and a healthy allowance nearby in Lanling city.
so in this AU yeah she gets to be a grandma and meet A-Fu!!! and it's fuckin lovely because JGY has told A-Fu quite a few bits and pieces about his zu-mu whiiiiiiilst also maybe possibly implying to him that she is dead, because A-Fu just could not possibly understand what a complicated clusterfuck of risk (in JGY's mind, at least) that relationship could wind up being, for all three of them, so it's best to avoid it completely. and then JGS is gone and Meng Shi is set up as an Educated Lady in Lanling and JGY is learning how to live without being terrified at almost every waking moment, and he realises that, OH, this is maybe a relationship that could be safely allowed now???
it's love at first sight for both of them. Meng Shi just ADORES A-Fu and A-Fu just ADORES Meng Shi and JGY is trying so fucking hard to not just burst into tears because finally someone loves his mum as much as he does!!!!! you know Meng Shi would be such an indulgent grandma when it comes to time and attention (lord knows she has spent her life listening to some of the world's most boring and awful men, she would have just infinite patience for her darling grandson), and I believe canonically she is crazy accomplished, so she definitely does a bunch of singing and music and painting with him.

warning!! so many how to train your dragon: race to the edge spoilers below the cut!!!!!! ive rewatched it many times, and my musings often include talking about how things are foreshadowing to future events!! which means those future events will be spoiled alot!!!!

Ok ok I'm on my Watch HTR Goddamit!! Agenda again. So lemme explain.
Hakata Tonkatsu Ramens pretends its a sports anime about baseball. It's not. Baseball is the fun found family bonding activity that the main cast engages in during their free time, and occasionally it's a narrative framing device to set up each episode/facilitate character growth. The point is not that these people play baseball.
The point is that they're all hitmen.
I exaggerate--not all of them are hitmen. Most of them are hitmen, and all of them are hitmen-adjacent. HTR is set in a fictionalized version of Fukuoka where murder just kinda happens and the police don't really care. "BUT THAT'S UNREALISTIC!!" shhhh. HTR doesn't take itself that seriously and neither should you.
So, you've got your main character, Lin Xianming. He's a crossdresser who thinks it's fuckin hilarious when people mistake him for a cute girl and he gets to say, in his deep ass voice (thanks Kaji Yuki), "Fucking moron. I'm a man." Because that's the sort of guy he is--rough around the edges, a bit of a cynical jackass, trigger happy, and holds grudges like nobody's business.
Tumblr media
(He's also interminably lonely, as such people tend to be.)
After a mildly convoluted plot of betrayals and defections, he ends up as a freelance hitman. Enter Banba Zenji, who runs a detective agency as his day job and does murders on the side. He's pretty different from Lin, all things considered--easy going, kind of a rake, charming in an exasperating way. Banba does Lin a favor, and the two of them end up as roommates? Hitmen partners? Best friends for life? Something like that.
Tumblr media
And also Banba is a massive baseball nutcase who gets Lin to play for his grasslot team, the Hakata Tonkatsu Ramens. The entire team is made of hitmen-adjacent folk that all help with schemes/jobs/have their own narratives. Jirou deserves a highlight all on his own for being an "avenger" that will take eye-for-an-eye jobs--he's gay, has an adorable daughter, and is one of the sweetest members; and so does Enokida, a hacker with a hilarious backstory and the bitchiest attitude known to man.
Anyway, I think HTR's strongest aspect is how the writers took the concept of Chekhov's gun as their central dogma. Everything that occurs in the setup of an episode has a payoff later, and half the fun of watching it is trying to figure out what the hell the relevance is of a particular wig. It can't possibly be used later!
No. No it will be used later. And you're going to lose your shit when you realize how they use it.
But anyway!! If you want murder found family +incredibly well executed keikaku + hitmen hijinks, HTR is the anime for you :)

Favorite Movie Rambles : REturn of the Living Dead
Still on a horror movie kick,so gonna look at one of my favorite Zombie films,the darkly humorus Return of the Living Dead
Tumblr media
In this 1985 warehouse employees Frank (James Karen) and Freddy (Thom Matthews ) accidently release a toxin that causes the dead to rise,hungry for brains ,while Freddy's punk friends are partying at the nearby cemetary
So I have a fondness for what I call "How bad can this get " stories ,and by God , I cant think of a better one then this film,because this is a domino effect of pure chaos . I like the mix of characters as well ,with the cast being mix of older working joes but also these young Punks ,and I love all of them .I always say the job of a horror film is for me to like the characters and I love the characters in this film
Lets start with the Punks.Now this is a comedy so these are intentionally over the top punks ....But I find them so endearing ,they just wanna party and the performances for them are all of them are pretty fun ,and they are all diffrent :Casey is the party girl,Chuck is kind of a dork ,Scuz is punk classic ,Tina is the nice girl,and so on .My favorites of the punks are Trash,Spider ,and Suicide(Yeah thats his name). Suicide is not in the film long but I wish he was .Suicide is the "Spooky " one a very intense angry dude,who other then Trash (Who has a thing for him) ,the others seem to only hang out with him cause he has a car ,but when push comes to shove he is there if his friends are in trouble .I find him hilarious and Mark Venturini does a good job and in a movie full of great qoutable lines ,he gets one of the best " You think this is a fuckin' costume? This is a way of life." Miguel A Nunez Jr plays Spider ,and he just does an amazing job,being really the lead punk and the one who clashes with Burt ,the guy who runs the warehouse . Possibly the most memorable of the Punks is TRash .....Now I think for most fans its cause she spends most of the film nude ,which is handwaved in universe as dancing naked just being a thing she does ,but what I love is the performance of now horror icon Linnea Quigley ,in that Trash.....Is kind of a poser. She puts up this persona of being this death obsessed hardcore punk ,but its hinted that its an act,and when things go south she is as pancked as everyone else (Also minor spoiler: Her death is really sad to me )
Now while the punks are memorable ,the warehouse guys are also great . Gonna start with our in between character Freddy .Freddy is a punk who got a job at the warehouse . Thom Matthews does a great job ,I think Freddy is a very likeable character .....And he is a great trick on the audience ,as there is a shif t with him .Don Calfa plays Ernie the Embalmer , who is the character with his head on his shoulders and I love his relationshipwith Burt (Also,no the fact two friends were called Burt and Ernie was not intentional according to writer and director Dan O Bannon ).Burt is our main lead played very well by Clu Gulager ,and I love that he seems to be a decent boss ,definately cares about Frank and Freddy .....And I adore when the zombies problem arises he's more just annoyed with it but does believe Frank .Speaking of Frank,he is my favorite character in the film ,and all that is all down to the magnificent performance of James Karen .He starts off as the cool old guy but once things go sideways ,he is freaking the fuck out!!! He also gets possibly the saddest scene in the film(A idea which came from James Karen himself )
I should point out while this film is a comedy.....It does the drama really well.Without spoiling I actually fell sad when characters die or are zombified .I feel bad for the characters who are losing friends ,and I feel that these characters truly care about each other
The film is also very scary and thats cause the zombies are scary .I'm not a zombie fan .......But these ones TERRIFY me.....Cause they are fast,sentient.....And there is no way to kill them save for cremation....Which causes more problems .This is the film that established the pop culture culinary taste of zombies:That they eat brains . The effects are hit and miss,I think the extra zombies look kind of lame.....BUT THE MAIN ZOMBIES ARE TERRIFYING .The are designed to resemble the grotesque living corpses from EC Comics The most memorable of the bunch is the Tarman ,this gooey skeletal fella who keeps bellowing "BRAIIIINNNS" ,played by puppeteer Allan Trautman .I think the scariest scene in the film however involves a captured zombie.....And being intelligent ,she talls us why they eat brains.I also just love the set up of the film:In the universe of this film,Night of the Living Dead was loosley based on a real case ,and the scene of James Karen revealing this is amazing
The film is also very funny .The punks can be goofy ,there is some wondeful dark comedy with the zombies, and the fact that everyone is freaking out feels true to life .The best scenes are with Burt,Frank,Ernie and Freddie however .I like Ernies intro scene ,where bBurt delivers a story that is even more unbelivable then wahats really going on. The crown jewel for me are when Freddy,Frank and Burt deciding to mimic Night of the Living Dead by destroying the brain ....Which doesnt work leading Freddy to say my favorite line in the film "YOU MEAN THE MOVIE LIED !???"
Overall this film is a great mix of comedy ,tragedy and horror

Best New Anime of 2022
(reposted from cohost)
so i had cancer this year! which apparently means i actually watched enough new anime last year to do a top ten list? so i guess this is my first anime top ten! pretty neat! i’m only gonna cover shows that premiered this year because it would be hard not to put stuff like Mob Psycho and JoJo on here and there was so much great new stuff that i wanna focus on. here goes!
10: Love Flops: this show… this fuckin’ show y’all. the first few episodes are…. A Lot. some of the horniest anime bullshit i’ve seen. it takes over half the season to really show its hand. and look, i really don’t want to spoil anything, because it has some truly great reveals, but goddamn is it an incredible fucking hand. a show that is both absolutely demented and very touching
9: Aharen-san wa Hakarenai: translates to Aharen is Incomprehensible. just a really cute, chill little romcom about a couple of goofballs and their even goofier friends. was a very nice thing to look forward to during a pretty hard summer!
8: Urusei Yatsura: i originally had Spy x Family here, but y’know what? fuck that. Lum’s Back Bay Beeee and she looks better than ever. David Productions outdid themselves here
7: Bocchi the Rock: the most i've related to a character in ages. great music, great animation, great pals
6: Chainsaw Man: not typically my vibe, but it's so good i can't help but appreciate it anyway. i have trouble with “misery parade” stuff but Chainsaw Man takes it so far that it becomes hilarious. i really love its exploration of intimacy and control, very nuanced and looks at a lot of different aspects of it. Power and Denji’s friendship is super refreshing, Makima is scary as hell, and Himeno is… unfortunately very hot. don’t @ me
5: Ya Boi Kongming: time travel is always my jam, and this is one of the best. it subverts the whole "the character is dumb bc they're from the past" thing by making the MC a master strategist from the Three Kingdoms period. there's initial confusion, but he picks up quick, and it's more about him using his stratagems to help a girl become a famous singer. it also has one of the best OPs of the year too
4: Birdie Wing: it's the Lesbian Mafia Golf anime, what do you want from me
3: Akiba Maid War: legit one of the most buckwild first episodes ever put to film. absolutely has to be seen to be believed. all i'll say is that the title is literal, and it’s majestic. #1 fuckup gang of 2022
2: My Dress-Up Darling: immaculately crafted romcom, incredible characters. more or less a perfect show, would have been my top spot if the next one hadn't come to eat its lunch a few months later. the scene on the train after the con is one of my favorite scenes in anime period
1: Call of the Night: feels like a show made specifically for me. it's a romcom, but it's moody and there's philosophical shit and vampire fights? sign me the fuck up. then there’s Anko Uguisu, who is a fucking Problem 🥵 and to top it all off, it's the most gorgeous show i’ve seen in a long time. something like Demon Slayer has really fluid action sequences with amazing effects, but it looks pretty standard otherwise. but the composition and color and detail of every shot is so carefully considered in Call of the Night, it’s really something special. truly, absolutely cannot wait for season 2. i picked up the manga and am around chapter 100 now, it’s going in some really fascinating directions
and that’s my list! i was going to make this an honorable mentions section but ended up just mentioning basically everything else new i watched lol. so here’s that:
Ranking of Kings is a show i really loved but it just didn’t quite make the cut. the ending felt a little rushed and it started getting a bit predictable, but still great if you need a good cry
Shikimori Isn’t Just a Cutie was sweet and fun but felt a little thin
Spy x Family is really well-made and totally adorable but i have to take it in small doses for some reason
Reincarnated as a Sword i had no real issues with and i’m looking forward to season 2, but it just wasn’t a top 10
Eminence in Shadow: love the farce, fuckin’ hate the MC. still not sure where i come down on it tbh
Yakuza’s Guide to Babysitting: liked it, didn’t watch enough of it
Do It Yourself! is really cute but it never quite hits the highs of something like Laid Back Camp. still worthwhile if you like that kind of thing tho
Lycoris Recoil: i really enjoyed it while i was watching it, but i keep forgetting it exists tbh
and as far as returning stuff goes Mob had such a great ending, i’ve really enjoyed the Stone Ocean adaptation, i just got into Welcome to Demon School Iruma-kun this year and i’m having a great time with it, reminds me so much of that 00’s Soul Eater/HxH/toonami-type shonen but much less fight focused. and of course, Uzaki-chan was fucking incredible, as expected
it’s kind of crazy how much good anime there was this year and how many i haven’t even gotten around to yet! this winter 2023 season is seeming… a bit dry so far but at least Queen Nagatoro has returned to grace us with her presence. gonna wrap it up, but if someone found this and read all the way to the end… hey, thanks! you’re great!

Ahh we all have that one professor who makes u go ??? The fuck ??? At least 5 times in 20 mins lol I get you
Also the nct thing was purely by accident lol aksnsksms I initially listened to boom by nct dream, thought I’d listen to a couple more songs, fell down the rabbit hole and now I actively Stan 20+ men 💀 yeah I did that to myself lol but fr nct has some weird shit but a LOT of bops like if you like slow ballad type of stuff I recommend from home and my everything but nct u or if u like smth cute Touch by NCT 127 is p well liked by most people I introduce that song to! And most of nct dreams older songs are p cute too! I feel like you’ve made a grave mistake letting me talk ab NCT because I could go on FOREVER aksnsksms also I totally get the mark + Haechan duo lol I have a particular fondness for mark because we share the same birthday lol plus he’s so cute I just wanna fucking SQUISH
I would LOVE to hear you talk about Shinee!! All of their music fuckin SLAPS I’ve been obsessed with Body Rhythm every since it came out and like I got into the fandom p late so I don’t know much but I think taemin is fucking hilarious like he is very much my pathetic lil meow meow
-Baby Teume
literally i love her but the way she runs her classes... headache inducing. im probably going to scrape past with a C unless she decides to drop our lowest grade (highly unlikely but very welcome)
... my confession is that i actually enjoy sticker lmao like ik its not great ig? but i can still vibe with it
i have made NO mistake asking u to talk abt nct!!! pls talk to me about nct whenever u feel like it lmao i love hearing abt other ppls groups and the stuff they get passionate about!! literally i love when ppl give me song recs even if i dont end up getting into them bc its a lil 'hey i thought u might enjoy this' and i think thats sweet <3
i learned that marks emojis are a tiger and a lion and im like omg... tiger... another tiger boy to add to my collection. AND lions too??? mark nct ill give u a kiss omg /j
omg... u will regret asking me abt shinee i love them SO much. im ignoring the fact taemin just showed up on my playlist (highly recommend all of the shinee members solo stuff!!! i can absolutely give recs for my fave from each member even tho minho has like two songs to him rn but theyre both good fdkhdshf)
i always say taemin is my bias (hes adorable AND funny like... king stop my expectations are too high-) but i think im truly ot5 because all of them are so important to me. they were the first kpop group i ever listened to forever ago (sherlock (clue + note) is a legend and i love her so much), and i think dropping off shortly after getting into them (which would have been around 2015 because it was the time view came out) and then picking them a little over a year ago was genuinely like... something that really helped me out of a shitty place + hurt because i had missed the news about jonghyun entirely. but even then, i think its made me appreciate him and everything he's done so, so much. i won't get sappy but i truly love jonghyun so much and i'm glad he's no longer hurting. it'll always piss me off when people reduce him down to his death and nothing else because he was such a good person.
moving on from that before i get too emotional... i genuinely just love shinee a lot. i watched one of the shinee world concerts (IV i think?) earlier this year and its amazing how talented they were and still are. shinee truly helped pave the way and inspired so many idols and i adore them. its also fun to just watch them interact, tbh. i don't genuinely ship anyone because i find that weird, but minkey as a (platonic) pair are my faves lmao they always bicker like an old married couple but you can tell that they do love each other and are genuinely close friends.
and jinki!!! onew my beloved!!! i love him so much. he has such a warm presence and GOD his vocals... i die every time... coincidentally love phobia just came up on my playlist lmao but still!! highly recommend listening to DICE if u haven't!! the entire album itself is good but the title track is soo good <3 i always feel like i forget he's the leader of shinee because they're all so close-knit, it feels like they're all on completely equal footing even if jinki is the one leading them.
i didnt rly get into my love for taemin but genuinely i adore him. he's so, so talented both vocally and dance-wise, i love to see the difference between his stage persona (typically his solo persona lmao taemin and his slutty slutty music... <3) when he's really just this very sweet catholic man who apparently only really interacts with his group mates and a few others outside of that. he's so funny and i honestly admire every live he did where he spoke english and messed up and accepted his mistakes? like. learning a language is hard enough, especially one as fucking weird as english, but he just seems to eager to try speaking english and accepts his mistakes. i think he definitely has a very good support network both in the people helping him learn english (job-wise) and in having someone like key there to correct him (and maybe rib him a little bit--but it's all out of love). also i still think its really funny he broke into keys place to leave him a birthday cake and then proceeded to steal one of his jackets. stole my heart at the same time smh
i will stop here bc i still have two questions left on my final but !!! i will absolutely give u shinee recs if you want!! shinee has SUCH a good discography with only a few songs that are... not good at all lmao. but every group puts out some bad songs sometimes, especially when they've been around for a long time! nothing wrong w that! + i'll probs throw in recs from each member's solo career because i genuinely love a lot of their solo stuff as well <3

Hi hiii for the f/o takeover ask game, may I please ask peach, honey, book, and jellyfish? <3
[F/O takeover ask game!!]
Taru, huh? Aight, I'll answer honey and book (I've answered peach and jellyfish here. Peach seems to be a popular one, hm..)
🍯 [HONEY] ~ What’s your favorite nickname/petname to give S/I? How about your favorite nickname/petname that they call you?
Oh man, the number of pet names I have for Isa-chan is practically endless lmao. Besides the '-chan' suffix I give her, I also like calling her "Little Miss Sunshine" because she's somehow always seein' the glass half-full and just in general she's energetic and cheerful like the summer sun. And also "Little Pink ___" 'cause she's small and her hair is pink. It's been freezing lately since we're still stuck in the fuckin' ass-crack of winter so I've taken to calling her my little pink heater lol (I don't think she minds the extra cuddles and hugs). And, well, can't forget the classic pet names too, like babe, princess, beautiful. On occasion I might call her "love", "dove" or some other mushy pet name but... that's on occasion. Can't use it too often or it'll lose its impact, y'know?
As for favourite pet name she calls me... Ngl, I used to think "Banban" was cringe but I guess I've gotten used to it now and it'd feel weird if she didn't call me that. She's fond of using the classic "babe", "handsome", and sometimes "hot stuff" when she's feelin' particularly playful. I don't mind those. I mean, she's not wrong, I am hot stuff. It hits different, in a good way, hearing it from her, though.
📗 [BOOK] ~ What’s your favorite random fun-fact that you know about S/I?
She's really sensitive around her neck, and it's fun to exploit this by surprising her with kisses there. Don't think I'll ever get tired of how she reacts when I kiss her there, heh.
Also, this isn't related to the neck kisses, but she knew Guy-san wasn't an android WAY before the rest of us found the micro-chip that confirmed it. Dunno how much Isa Lore you know so I don't think I should expose how she knew here, but yeah. That day I found out how she knew was really fuckin' hilarious... She deadass thought he was being a chuuni and she was trying to be respectful of his chuuni-ness like... Pfft... It's silly as hell but also endearing, which is just another day of my girl being her wonderful, adorable self, really.

ooh what are you studying? im a med student, in my last year. im planning to do a masters of pharmacy and maybe psychology or education, i havent decided what ill double up on.
my timezone is in hell so eid was technically yesterday for me, we go to the prayer in the park then buy flowers for everyone, and visit my grandparents for breakfast and then all the aunts. one of my aunts lives across the road from a mcdonalds, so naturally the most important tradition we have is spending our eid money there. and then we watch a movie and uber maccas again when we get home. what do you do for eid?
daredevil is pretty good, i got into it mostly bc ive read a couple comics, and matt murdock is THEE most ridiculous character ever. i love him so much in a very, im holding him by the scruff of his neck and making him take a shower. blorbo emotions. its abt a blind lawyer who is a vigilante on the side, and is determined to singlehandedly take down an entire criminal empire all by himself. its really funny when u get into the other defenders bc like. jessica jones has super stength. luke cage is bulletproof. danny rand has whatever tf he has going on. and then matt is just there,,, his super power is catholic guilt and intense rage. mf has two sticks and ends up in garbage bins more often than he probably should. hes like a damn cockroach, he just doesnt seem to die.
i just fuckin love superheroes u dont understand i am holding myself back from going off into a tangent. esp street level heroes, they have a completely different vibe than like, bigshot heroes such as iron man or even a lot of the dc heroes.
if ur interested, theres a fic series i recommend to everyone based around team red (thats spiderman, daredevil, and deadpool) which is a. super long and will entertain you for ages bc its broken up into digestible parts and b. absolutely hilarious. its like, what if marvel was actually good. the iteration that author created of all the characters is chefs kiss, amazing.
im gonna shut myself up rip, ill talk to you soon <33
- z
omg, wow, that's so interesting! what do you enjoy about medicine? that is so cool that you're planning on doing your masters too! those all sound like really good options of what to go into. and my program is English! also thinking of adding History as a minor since I love it
this is so sweet omg. I love that you guys do prayer in the fast and do such a sweet gesture by giving flowers to everyone. it just sounds so comforting and cozy, how you and your family have all these traditions and spend so much time eating and hanging out together. for me, I unfortunately couldn't do much for Eid because my Wifi had just started back up and I had an assignment due that day that I hadn't been able to work on LMAO. but, usually, we try to get together with my aunt, one of our only relatives sharing the city with us. and my father wants to host something in our neighbourhood for Eid, where people (neighbours, relatives, family friends, etc.) will come by and we feed them and spend time with them.
omg that sounds so fucking cool! like, the entire concept of a lawyer who also simultaneously is taking down an entire criminal empire sounds do cool. and I love ridiculous characters, it's so easy to root for them omg. aksjkajs "catholic guilt and intense rage," LMAO. I really like when there's a group and all of them have an individual power and something they bring to the table.
you can totally go on a tangent! it's so cool that you're so into them and passionate about them! my sibling is the same about certain superheroes. I honestly don't know much about them, but I have friends who adore them. what do you like most about street level heroes? are they heroes that, like, are working in a specific spot as opposed to, like, saving the whole world?
you can totally send me the fic! even if I'm not a part of the fandom, I always appreciate a good, funny fic, hehe. I'll even send it to my friend who is really into Marvel!
(also, you don't need to shut yourself up! love that you're so into it)

jackee yells about s2e10 below the cut
oh fuck is this the spirit library episode
update aang can groundhog bend 
these groundhogs are definitely making fun of sokka and momo, as they should
OH FUCK IS THIS THE EPISODE WHERE APPA GOES MISSING —
okay but aang says “i’ve been training my arrow off” so do we think if this were a pg 13 show instead he might have been allowed to say ass or do we think our monk boy is too innocent and would have censored himself anyway
katara is all about them mental health days send tweet
sokka is so fuckin funny i am going to lOSE it
listen okay katara has a very dry sense of humor. she’s game for physical humor, but most of her wit and entertainment comes from wordplay. she has so much fun doing it, and that’s what ends up making her giggle most of the time. i think this is part of the reason everyone else doesn’t see katara as funny (even though she thinks she is, and i agree). she’s witty and fast with her words. sokka is (rightfully) concerned about their strategy re actually getting to the fire lord, and katara says, “all right, we’ll finish our vacations and then we’ll go look for sokka’s intelligence.” that’s hilarious. but it’s dry humor.
katara’s first suggestion is hot springs. she deserves it
can we talk about how much aang knows about travel destinations? he’s still very naïve, but this is like, a hint at what he was doing the twelve years before he got iced. air benders were meant to be nomads. they had a home base in the temples, but they travelled. aang expresses knowledge about the earth kingdom (to the point of being friends with one of its kings), the poles (re penguin sledding), and now the desert (re the natural hot springs). i’m sure there’s more that i’m missing. i think the only place he hasn’t said or suggested he’s visited is the fire nation, which, with rising tensions before the war, makes a lot of sense.
ok but that guy cooking with his dual swords? talented
“you’re a living relic” 
OKAY BUT THERE ARE UNIVERSITIES
like i knew there would be, but confirmation opens up a lot of avenues. this means that there’s formal education beyond children’s schools. ie, there are doctors, not just healers. 
there are few, if any, fire nation maps outside the fire nation. that has to have been a strategy thing. if the enemy doesn’t know where to attack, they’re much less likely to do so.
this library was inspired by the library of alexandria right? 
is there another ancient and missing library i’m missing due to my incredibly eastern lens 
i love to watch sokka get the misogyny slowly beat out of him. can’t wait til he chugs his respect women juice
foreshadowing. the sandbenders already had an eye on appa
momo being called a chatty monkey is accurate 
tophs blind jokes are top tier 
god fuc kin dam it 
the professor with his tiny fuckin shovel 
okay but toph’s lack of excitement for books makes me wonder if braille is a thing in the atla universe. she asks for something she can listen to. if audiobooks had been a thing, toph would have fucked them up. she spent most of her life in hiding and sheltered by her overbearing family. you can’t tell me they wouldn’t have been an escape. 
appa shoulda just come :(
toph @ appa, deadpan: “what’s up.”
aang and sokka would laugh so much at any word that sounded even a little suggestive 
the professor trying to lower his excitement is................adorable
freaky owl freaky owl freaky owl freaky ow
the spirits are cruel
i wonder what the 10,000 things he knows are
also, are owls a symbol of wisdom across the world or did this take inspiration from greek myths, re athena 
DO WE KNOW WHAT FIRE BENDER CAME TO THE LIBRARY LOOKING TO DESTROY HIS ENEMIES ???
OZAI? AZULON? SOSIN?
WHAT DOES “A FEW YEARS AGO” MEAN TO AN IMMORTAL OWL SPIRIT?
tag yourself i’m the owl 
sokka is such a himbo
katara is so pleased when the owl spirit praises her waterbending scroll. my girl loves validation. and she loves to learn.
toph explaining herself to appa is the best therapy session i’ve ever seen
sokka is...so disrespectful to literally everything he mildly disagrees with. who on earth steals from a library. a spirit library. i get that he’s skeptical but he lives in a world where people control elements so maybe he should open up a bit.
also, the darkest day in fire nation history does sound interesting. i feel like he could have researched this without stealing the obviously fragile scroll from beneath its preservative glass case.
was this firebenders, or was this a firebender, re my loud guesses of ozai, azulon, and sosin? i can’t imagine that, if they came with a team, they would have left any knowledge behind, especially that which may help them destroy and conquer their enemies. 
i saw one post that suggested that, in one point in history, the fire nation had been the oppressed, not the oppressors. i can’t remember all of it, but there was something about how every nation’s land reflects the benders that live on it, except for the fire nation. they’re on an island surrounded by water. is it possible that they could have destroyed this to defend themselves? alternatively, we know that oppressors tend to destroy the history of those they oppress (“dead” native languages, oral histories, etc.) is it possible that those who sought to oppress the fire nation did this? it isn’t hard for anyone to make a fire, and even easier to have ancient scrolls catch. 
what happened during the fire nation’s darkest day tho
there’s literally nothing atla did as well as show the grays of war. “you think you’re the first to believe their war was justified?” fuck
that was a dope line, but it could so easily be used against him, too. when he tries to kill the gaang. “you think you’re the first to believe their murder was justified?”
toph’s immediate attempt at earth bending the library up is...........wow. she has no idea what’s happening, but it’s bad for her friends, and so she, alone, intends to save it, despite probably knowing how futile it is.
sokka is willing to risk his life and aang’s for information on when the next solar eclipse is, but not katara’s. 
fucking sand benders
appa is so ready to kill a bitch at all times. where is that energy when these sandbenders come around? he dropped the ball
why am i already fucking crying
katara is the first one to tell them to abandon the professor
why am i already fucking crying
“where’s appa?” 
toph holding her head down, her hands over her ears because she doesn’t want to hear anything, between her legs because that’s what you do when you’re about to have a panic attack...

my first boy (who romanced mason-- bc dum bitch w terrible taste) is named Chase Kingston btw
he's grumpy and snarky and was sort of bullied into the police force to avoid jail time, but he's kind of low-key a marshmallow when he cares about/trusts people-- but it takes a long fuckin time to for him to trust people.
he's also covered in tattoos from his wild youth so his boss makes him cover himself from the neck down when he's on duty
