How tf is Futurama literally exactly the same in every conceivable way after 10 years. EXACTLY the same. Like no time has passed at all. It’s insanely impressive how consistent this show is.
Here’s my longer review:
LIGHT SPOILERS
It’s amazing. I would not notice a shred of difference without the knowledge this is 10 years later (beside the fact they reference the show being cancelled like they always do). Nothing has changed.
Legitimately the most notable change was that Hermes voice sounds slightly off (still obviously the same guy but he’s probably just older). He had like 4 lines though so it’s hard to say it’s really a change.
I loved the way the episode acknowledges the time passing and the previous episode in terms of overall status quo changing plot. It makes sense while still placing it in July 3023 and that’s cool. Although the episode’s plot was resolved in a very silly way that makes it kinda hard to buy, the jokes were consistently funny (especially the professor), the events were creative and escalated well, and plots concluding oddly is pretty on track for this show. Which leads to my last point.
Literally all my problems with the episode are the same I have with the rest of the series. For example, although they explicitly show the events of the previous finale, after the reset they do not acknowledge Fry and Leela’s relationship directly. Other characters still act as though they’re dating though. I’d say that’s weird and disappointing but frankly that’s what the show’s been doing for 26 years: barely focusing on the relationship and keeping in the background unless it’s the focus. They seriously dedicated themselves to making it EXACTLY the same. No improvements and no losses in quality of any kind.
Amy even had all the bad jokes! That’s how you know it’s the same old Futurama.
Overall, I’m shocked this exists and I love the comeback so far.

.⟡. 2023 Year in Review .⟡.
cc year in review — every month in 2023 : link your favorite and/or most popular post from each month this year
tagged by: @shorelinnes, @xiaojuun, & @gnanii, thank you lovelies! ♡ tagging (no pressure, & the gifs were extra!): @ye-xiu, @eggheons, @nervousnotion, @honeyimissjoo (if you’ve already done this, feel free to drop the link! ♡)
Hello!! A brief(ish) recap before the actual list. It’s been a pretty wild year in wingsland, mostly thanks to finishing up my second master’s degree in December (finally, BYE!). Looking back, I’m surprised at how much content I actually created, but this has been a refuge and source of comfort for me while running on fumes between work and school and general adulting. 2023 also marked some changes in my listening and sources of inspiration. I fell more out of interest with txt (apologies to all followers who were here for them… this is the second time this has happened, oops?) but fell even more in love with Monsta X while discovering some other new or new-to-me artists (more on that in another post). Reason was my first official comeback with them, and it really lit a fire in my brain. I have a few ongoing series that I intend to continue, whether they’re gifs or audio compilations. I giffed a LOT of besties (minhyuk + hyungwon, the soulmates of soulmate besties). It brings me so so much joy to work on those sets and the various audio edits or just being excited about musical details in my music box tag. I also managed to squeeze in a few angsty mv sets along the way, because tbh I feel like I am thriving most as a creator when something is pulling at the heartstrings. I know mbbblr has been quiet lately (and must seem exceedingly so to those who were around years ago), but I will keep being noisy about them until mx6 is reunited and beyond. Thank you for sticking around with me ♡
(P.S. I am calling these my favorites and audience favorites because what even is popularity on tumblr, and also I am horribly indecisive and can rarely stick to one. Please enjoy the occasionally unserious post descriptions!)
January ⟡ My favorite(s out of an unusually prolific month): ‘Beautiful Liar’ lyrics + reflected shots, control imagery, & Minhyuk/Changkyun choreo; besties livestreams ft. minhyuk about to get his ass kicked by an indignant noodle & besties again not fighting ⟡ Audience favorite: Reason concept ver.3 (where did all those notes come from) followed by Hyungwon in Love Killa/Gambler/Beautiful Liar
February ⟡ My favorite: Besties Lone Ranger recording, Honey PD ’괜찮아’ Recording (ft. bonus honey threatening offering to kiss minhyuk on the lips), Hyungwon ‘Beautiful Liar’ mv + photoshoot behinds, & the following ⟡ Audience favorite: Unofficial art director Lee Minhyuk
March ⟡ The (only) favorite: Hyungwon FRED x Marie Claire (my favorite photoshoot coloring of the year)
April ⟡ My favorite: Minhyuk in Reason era & besties ft. not-very-tsundere hyungwon ⟡ Audience favorite: Hyungwon John Varvatos x GQ

GIRL MONTAGE is an eight member girl group that debuted on MARCH 18, 2018 under GARDEN LABS. they debuted with the song GIRL'S CAPITALISM with mixed reviews from netizens. the song didn't get popular until 2023, FIVE YEARS after the group's debut.
despite their underrated status as a girl group when debuting, GIRL MONTAGE would slowly begin to gain popularity throughout their rookie year. however, their slow gain in popularity would come to a halt when member ROSIE would announce that she would be leaving the group in DECEMBER 2018. losing one of their most popular members without any explanation, many netizens would voice their concern as Garden Labs never officially explained what happened.
however, despite losing a member, GIRL MONTAGE would continue forward until MARCH 2019 when the group would be surrounded in a scandal. a twitter account would claim that former member Rosie had left the group not due to personal reasons, but instead because of "bullying among the members and staff" which immediately caused a witch hunt on the remaining members by netizens. this would force the group to go on a YEAR LONG HIATUS.
in late 2020, the group would eventually comeback; however, not without backlash from the previous scandal. the group would continue to make comebacks and slowly gain more popularity thanks to all the girls' solo careers. everything for the group would seem to be going well until JULY 2022, when Garden Labs announced that member LONDON had passed away. this sudden news of her passing would shock everyone in the k-pop community along with the members who would once again go on a SIX-MONTH HIATUS in order to mourn their passed member.
it wouldn't be until FEBRUARY 2023, that leader and main producer of the group ARA would announce that she and the other members of GIRL MONTAGE had filed a lawsuit against Garden Labs due to mismanagement and not protecting their artist. the court would rule in favor of the eight members and their contracts with Garden Labs would be terminated. this would put the group on an indefinite hiatus.
in SEPTEMBER 2023, Ara would announce that she and ARTEMIS had made their own label L'S MUSIC and that the rest of the members had joined them under this new label.

In lieu of a making a comeback
11:45pm Sunday, June 18, 2023
Went through my drafts folder today, scrolling quickly past all the posts I’ve saved for when I’ve finally finished succession and found that the last time I drafted a commonplace book post was back in early May? I may post that one later—it’s a bit of a time capsule now, and isn’t even fully finished (hence why I saved it rather than posting). but rather than wait for perfection—my lesson of the year it seems—I’ll dash off a short one here. for my own entertainment, which of course is the point.
[no read more on mobile; scroll or press J to skip]
Reading just started victoria goddard’s bee sting cake, the second book in the greenwing & dart series. jemis’ narrative voice sounds a little too much like fitzroy’s — exacerbating my prejudice against first-person narration where the pov character just kinda sounds like the author’s mouthpiece—but seeing more of ragnor bella, this area of the twelve kingdoms, these references to the Interim and the Last Emperor, remains delightful. Also about 80% of the way through ursula k. le guin’s a wizard of earthsea for the very first time, which has been a slow because I’m absolutely savoring it. one of those books that feels like it’s in conversation with Tolkien but goes about ‘let’s make magic literary’ in a totally different way.
watching the aforementioned succession. @hematiterings and I were doing a rewatch (for me; her first time) and we have now gotten up to season 4 episode 3, You Know the One, which means that there’s only one more episode before I’m in new territory. it’s been a really rewarding rewatch, even as I’ve been doing laptop work the whole time—I’m understanding characters’ relationships and the stakes of different decisions and events so much better than I did the first time.
listening for some reason this week and last I have not been able to get enough of Hildegard von Blingen’s bardcore covers. Specifically the cover of taylor swift’s willow, which is not a song I knew, cared about, or really even noticed before now? But it the bardcore cover elevates it so well? hildegard’s voice is so lovely? one of those sopranos I usually don’t quite believe are real—just a pleasure to listen to. bad romance and holding out for a hero have been on repeat as well, and pumped up kicks (buskin boots!) is so much more interesting than the original, but willow has been the one I actively searched by name.
playing d+d campaign one tonight for the first time since FEBRUARY. it was good! we laughed! R tried to seduce a jaguar! we might be starting a schism in a fantasy meso-american religion or possibly playing the ball game to avoid that! we won’t be able to play again until late July, early august! The real boss fight is—has always been—scheduling.
making look at this dining room chair I glued back together.

No after pictures yet but it was clamped for a few days and has now been back in use with no ill effects since…gosh, last weekend? so we’ll count that as a win.
working on between finishing my most recent slog of grading (32 review assignments, which I spent waaaaaay too long on out of an anxiety of needin to help them revise for their final portfolios) and the next round of grading (final exams for 385 are due…thursday, possibly? and portfolios Friday, though I expect I get many either late or with extension requests, my fault entirely), I think I have to write at least one job app for June 30 and. maybe try to slap some new stuff into ch 2. or conference paper? hm.

debuting  in  2021,  HERO  is  called  the  most  well-known  artist  of  MIGHTY  DEVIL  RECORDS  since  the  company's  establishment  back  in  2014.  after  the  disbandment  of  X1,  HERO  seemingly  disappeared  for  the  whole  of  2020  before  he  was  suddenly  mentioned  by  the  company  in  mid-2021,  surprising  his  fans,  who  longed  to  see  him  in  the  industry  again. 
on  july  11th,  HERO  released  a  single,  KILLING  ME  SOFTLY,  that  was  promoted  for  four  weeks  and  received  three  music  show  wins.  due  to  the  singer's  popularity,  his  first  win  was  only  four  days  after  his  official  debut,  making  him  the  fastest  idol  to  reach  one,  even  passing  X1.  he  was  credited  for  both  the  lyrics  and  the  choreography  of  the  song  and  a  video  was  posted  on  his  youtube  account  with  a  date  that  showed  he  produced  everything  a  year  before  his  actual  debut.  KILLING  ME  SOFLY  received  good  reviews  from  multiple  critics  and  other  people  in  the  music  industry,  and  it  set  a  bar  for  him  to  perfect  even  more  in  the  future. 
DREAMING  AWAKEN  is  the  first  mini  album  released  on  november  19th,  with  THAT  VOICE  OF  MINE  as  its  title  track.  HERO  promoted  the  song  for  five  weeks  and  received  seven  music  show  wins.  the  soloist's  first  comeback  could  be  deemed  different  due  to  the  experimentation  around  neo-soul  with  clear  jazz  /  r&b  influences,  which  is–  by  the  artist's  words–  something  that  he  never  dabbled  in  before.  THAT  VOICE  OF  MINE  was  a  hit  on  tiktok,  blowing  up  primarily  due  to  the  dance  featured  in  the  music  video. 
the  first  comeback  of  2022  was  with  BAD  LOVE,  from  HERO's  second  mini  album,  RATED-R.  the  album  was  not  as  big  a  hit  for  netizens  as  much  as  it  was  for  international  fans.  still,  despite  all  the  hate  HERO  received  for  the  album's  name,  BAD  LOVE  won  five  music  show  wins,  placing  the  song  on  billboard's  top  100  at  16TH  place,  the  highest  he's  ever  placed  so  far.  to  the  question  whether  BAD  LOVE  was  written  due  to  something  that  happened  to  HERO  in  real  life,  he  replies  that  even  though  the  song  is  about  a  toxic  relationship  that  he  is  desperate  to  break  out  of,  it's  not  about  him  but  rather  someone  he's  very  close  to  as  a  friend.  
mid-2022  was  a  terrible  time  for  ODDITIES.  DEMON  &  YOU  was  released  four  months  after  RATED-R,  but  during  the  promotions  of  DANCE  FOR  TWO,  HERO  unexpectedly  released  a  short  documentary  about  his  career,  explaining  how  his  year-long  disappearance  from  the  industry  was  due  to  his  anxiety  disorder.  "it  was  one  of  the  reasons  why  the  company  was  reluctant  to  let  me  debut  solo  for  the  whole  year,"  he  explained,  breaking  his  fans'  hearts  even  more.  the  promotions  during  D42  were  significantly  smaller,  taking  only  three  weeks  but  receiving  ten  wins  for  the  song  and  a  5TH  place  on  billboard's  top  100  for  the  whole  of  the  promotion  era. 
when  fans  thought  that  was  it  for  2022,  HERO  surprised  everyone  again  by  releasing  a  third  mini  album,  LIVE  AND  LEARN,  with  BULLS***  as  its  title  track.  the  soloist  followed  the  same  schedule  he  had  for  D42,  promoting  the  comeback  for  three  weeks  and  winning  four  wins  at  music  shows.  a  lot  of  netizens  complained  about  the  singer's  approach  to  his  songs,  mostly  saying  he  always  uses  vulgar  words  as  titles  for  his  albums  and  songs.  ODDITIES  came  to  defend  him,  saying  he's  an  adult  and  can  decide  on  his  discography  due  to  having  complete  freedom  over  what  he  will  produce.  even  though  BULLS***  didn't  receive  as  much  attention  as  his  previous  album,  it  still  got  him  a  lot  of  appreciation  and  love  from  his  fans. 
while  the  singer  confirms  all  songs  are  written  and  produced  by  him,  HERO  admits  he  also  has  help  from  other  producers  in  the  music  industry  for  some  of  the  significant  songs.

Supporting Actor: Hollywood Loves a Comeback
Tumblr media
The nominees are
Sterling K. Brown — American Fiction
Robert De Niro — Killers of the Flower Moon
Robert Downey, Jr. — Oppenheimer
Ryan Gosling — Barbie
Mark Ruffalo — Poor Things
Similar to Da’Vine Joy Randolph’s hold on the Best Supporting Actress category, RDJ has had Best Supporting Actor locked up — perhaps even since last July when Oppenheimer came out. The only major blemishes on his record are the National Board of Review (who chose Ruffalo) and the National Society of Film Critics (he tied for second with Gosling, both losing to Charles Melton in May December).
Gosling may be most likely to threaten for the prize, but I think it’s such a distant second it may not even be worth discussing. Brown, De Niro, and Ruffalo all give strong performances (especially Ruffalo) but this contest is done. Even though I like all the nominees, I still somehow wish there was room for others like Melton, Ruffalo’s co-star Willem Dafoe, or Dominic Sessa in The Holdovers.
Who will win: Robert Downey, Jr. — Oppenheimer
But look out for: Ryan Gosling — Barbie
Who I’d vote for: Robert Downey, Jr. — Oppenheimer
If I could add one more: Dominic Sessa — The Holdovers

Why would Harry take the month Louis wanted when Harry wasn't even releasing music in September 2022 and Louis had his comeback single out? /
If you don't mind, mod, I do kind of want to lay this out, because I've seen a lot of people say something similar to this anon, and at least to me, the answer is very obvious and not at all anything controversial or scandalous or upsetting, if people took the time to think through it.
Harry wasn't releasing music in September 2022, no. But DWD was coming out in September, followed by MP a month later. It wasn't like Harry had nothing to promote - he was very clearly promoting his two upcoming movies and his tour. And around the same time, iirc, Gemma Chan, Florence Pugh, and Olivia Wilde all had covers of different publications, which makes me think the DWD marketing team was in the lead here (and probably paying for it).
I don't think it's nearly as simple as being able to request a different month, but even if we entertain the possibility that it was and Harry and/or Louis could've just requested a different month to make room for them both, there was a combined July/August issue, which was likely way too early to be effective promo for either of their purposes, and Megan Thee Stallion was on it discussing her shooting, so not something RS would want to let another publication get the big interview on. October cover featured Stephen Curry, who you could maybe argue could've been bumped, but, one, I doubt RS would want two former 1D members on back to back covers (and to be perfectly honest, I don't think the obvious invitation for comparison would've done Louis any favors - "new king of pop" vs "comeback single"), and two, in January RS got an exclusive first look at Steph Curry's documentary, so it seems pretty likely that was part of his cover deal. Again, not something RS would want to give up easily. November is too late for Harry's promo, almost too late for Louis' promo, and the cover went to Pharrell and RM from BTS, talking about BTS' break and making solo music. Again, huge get, not likely RS would give it up to give the cover to Louis instead.
Like mod said in the tags, I really do not think that Harry and Louis personally are the ones arranging these covers. They help set the overall strategy, I'm sure, but they have marketing and promo teams who decide how best to execute that strategy and make the calls and arrange opportunities. And even if Harry had wanted to somehow give that opportunity to Louis after hearing about it, what is he supposed to do? Tell his promo team and the DWD promo team to walk back the negotiation with Rolling Stone so his ex-bandmate could get the cover? First off, they're closeted, so that would've been extremely suspicious behavior (and honestly would've been weird even if they were openly dating... which brings me to my next point...). Secondly, while I absolutely do not actually know Louis Tomlinson, from everything we've ever seen or heard about him, I cannot imagine he would want to get major career wins like a Rolling Stone cover because of a favor from his partner. I feel pretty confident in saying he'd like to get these things on his own. I have a lot of issues with the recurring undercurrent in fandom discourse that Harry should somehow be using his success to help Louis' career, but one of my biggest is that it takes away a lot of Louis' agency. He's talked a lot about needing to find faith in himself as a solo artist and performer, and I think that's more important to him than any magazine cover he could've gotten through a favor (much less Harry giving something up for him).
In any event, the NME cover was still a huge get, and they gave him an album review too, which he might not've gotten from RS. Arguably, it worked out better this way.
All good points.

My Review of Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid S
Tumblr media
Season One Review
I have to say, it’s amazing when companies put so much hard work and dedication in what they produce. Kyoto Animation is one of those companies I have so much respect for when it comes to just about everything they do. And the fact that they were able to make a comeback just shy of 2 years since the tragedy!
Tumblr media
Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid was released in 2017 and was quite the surprising hit with fans across the world. And with a second season announced a year or so after the first season’s ending, fans were thrilled for more content. But then in July 2019, tragedy struck the studio that animated this little gem. An arsonist came in and in a pre-meditative move, trapped many workers, and set the building on fire. The end result of this attack left 39 people dead and many others injured. Add to that, a lot of footage that Kyoto Animation had for future projects were lost (at least those that weren’t on the cloud). No doubt that included stuff for the final Free! movies, all of the Violet Evergarden side-projects, and this upcoming season to Miss Kobayashi.
This second season was so close to never seeing the light of day. This tragedy would have been enough to set anyone back a few years with emotional and physical damage. There was even worry if KyoAni would be able to do this second season or if it would go to another studio. I’m unsure of some of the people who died in the attack and their connection to Miss Kobayashi as many of these people lived private lives. Regardless, a life lost is a big fucking deal. One notable person I would like to mention who lost their life in the fire was director Yasuhiro Takemoto. Takemoto was involved in many of Kyoto Animation’s biggest hits and in many different roles. He directed Lucky Star and The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya after Yutaka Yamamoto’s departure. He did many animations and storyboarding for various animes. And do you remember that epic episode of Violet Evergarden where Violet literally walks on water? Boom! This man right here! And of course, was heavily involved with Miss Kobayashi working on scripts, storyboards, and was the director. Even though Takemoto is gone, his work will live on. Kyoto Animation, much like the characters of Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid are like family and will thrive no matter what happens next.
Now that I’ve got the memorial, grim, and sad stuff out of the way…
Tumblr media
LOOK AT HOW CUTE KANNA IS! WHO’S A CUTE DRAGON! WHO’S A CUTE DRAGON!
Tumblr media
HISTORY: Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid is about a young woman named Kobayashi. When she isn’t hitting the keyboard at her job, she’s popping tops off beer cans to ease the stress from her day-to-day routine. One night, Kobayashi got so drunk she wound up at a park and talks with a young lady named Tohru. Oh, and Tohru is a dragon, but Kobayashi wasn’t aware at the time. Too drunk, you see! They got along very well and Kobayashi suggested she should come stay with her and become her maid. One can only imagine Kobayashi’s hangover the next morning when she sees an actual dragon at her front door saying she’s going to be her live-in maid. But don’t worry, these dragons are able to stay in a human form. Anime logic, don’t knock it!
Meeting Tohru lead to meeting several other dragons! Kobayashi’s loner lifestyle turns into a big family with Tohru and Kanna living with her, Fafnir living with her co-worker, Elma working with her, and Lucoa…Lucoa’s there too!
SEASON TWO: While this series was heavily anticipated from many, there came a lot of collar-tugs from many others. There’s another dragon about to hit the earth and cause havoc. This dragon hasn’t gotten the message that all the dragons living here on earth have found peace amongst the humans they live with as well as the other dragons. This new presence really pisses Tohru off as this particular dragon really enjoys combat and has already destroyed the meeting place of Kobayashi and Tohru. And when she sets her sights on harming earth and the humans, Tohru is willing to save these people.
Tumblr media
This is Ilulu.
Yes, she’s small and has big tits. We’re at the same problem we were at when Uzaki-chan aired. Again, I must point out that some small women might have big tits. It’s a thing that exists and don’t question it. But she definitely seems smaller than Uzaki and has a bigger bust size. Seeing this gives me a lot of bad flashbacks of that one girl from Eiken. I mean, that was just a crime against nature. But there’s a logical explanation for those fire bags. Her breasts are full of fire. She’s a dragon and that’s where she holds her fire power. Don’t question it, just go with it! But to be on the safe side, do not lewd Ilulu…
Oh that plea has just fallen on deaf ears.
Tumblr media
Ilulu notices Tohru and Kobayashi’s relationship and is not digging it and tries to put a wedge between the two. And by wedge I mean…someone’s getting a gender-bending! Ooh, I’m so glad they didn’t skip this episode because of Kobayashi’s gender-swap moment. Don’t think we forgot what happened to Interspecies Reviewers, FUNimation. Now Ilulu isn’t all pranks and tricks, she does change quite fast and we do see a lot of development from her. Now, she’s just one of the dragons that hang with Kobayashi. Here are Ilulu’s voice actors!
JAPANESE CAST: *Ilulu is played by Tomomi Mineuchi
ENGLISH CAST: *Ilulu is played by Kristi Rothrock
Tumblr media
FUCK THIS GUY: I don’t know who this guy is. I don’t know why he was only in one episode and never returns. And I don’t care. Nobody hurts Kobayashi like that and gets away with it. And that’s absolutely true because Tohru WRECKED this guy.
Tumblr media
SHIPPING PART DEUX: Ahahaha, oh the Kobayashi x Tohru ship is pretty much what you would expect. Now we do get some more touching moments from the two that are ship-worthy. Most of which are in the final two episodes! But Tohru does say a genuine “I love you” right when fireworks are popping in the air. We get soft subtle moments and then we get the insane in the membrane crazy in love from Tohru moments. Tohru expressing herself with a special ED theme playing!
Tumblr media
Saikawa still loves Kanna and that’ll never change. However, I do hope we see the little girl Kanna was with when she ran away to New York City. If for no other reason but for Saikawa to lose her shit! And just like that, we get an OVA with Chloe coming back. Do the anime Gods read my mind or am I just that freakin’ lucky? Believe it or not, Saikawa loves Chloe just as much as Kanna.
Tumblr media
Hey guys, keep it Rated-G! This scene is looking a little too Boku…don’t make me say it.
Now let’s talk about Ilulu! I thought that Ilulu was going to be Tohru’s rival for Kobayashi’s affection. And it certainly felt like it was going that way once Ilulu calmed down and started living with everyone. Ilulu is grateful to Kobayashi, but she sees Tohru as more of a mother figure. Because Ilulu had to grow up fast, she didn’t really have a childhood to enjoy fully. But she does get a part-time job. Where am I going with this? At the part-time job, we have Taketo.
Tumblr media
I’m just gonna ship these two here. Yeah, it’s cute. I support it!
CELEBRITY CAMEOS: It’s not that uncommon for a Japanese seiyuu or singer to pop up in animated form in an anime done by Kyoto Animation. But I seem to only recall it happening on Nichijou and Lucky Star. Regardless, the singer of the opening, fhana has made her way to pop up on the television. Hey, we even get to hear the first opening theme a couple of times throughout this season and that’s always a treat.
Tumblr media
ENDING: We get another appearance from “Daddy Dearest” or Tohru’s father if you will. Turns out he’s a close acquaintance of Kobayashi’s big boss. This season, we saw a lot of this guy. Not surprising since dude is also Shouta’s father. We got a bit of a backstory that involves Tohru and how she wound up in the human world.
Tumblr media
Throughout this season, we witnessed a lot of Tohru’s past and in a sense the actions she took kinda came back haunt her. Last season, we weren’t introduced to Elma until much later and there wasn’t much done with her character and why she and Tohru were always defensive. This season gave us a look at their relationship and Elma’s pain when Tohru disappeared long ago. We do get a satisfying conclusion with a beautifully animated dragon fight between Elma and Tohru. Back to what I was mentioning with Tohru’s father, his appearance was a lot more lax than what we witnessed last season. He still doesn’t approve of this friendship between Kobayashi and Tohru, but at least he didn’t try to go ballistic like last time. It was more of an explanation of what happened prior to meeting Kobayashi and a battle that took down between dragons and gods.
Thankfully, the final episode of the season didn’t consist of Tohru’s father fucking things up. Half the episode consisted of a summer festival and the other half was watching blossoms in the tree. It’s weird having the latter during the summer, but dragons can make anything happen. And after fun times with drinking, arm wrestling, and whatever the fuck Elma did with her stomach came the big event. During the summer festival, Tohru told Kobayashi that she loves her right under the friggin’ fireworks. What could top this?
Tumblr media
Tohru dressing Kobayashi in a wedding dress.
And Tohru wearing a wedding dress.
OH MY GOD! THIS IS HAPPENING! THIS IS NOT A DRILL! HANDS-DOWN WINNER FOR BEST YURI COUPLE OF 2021! KANNA WILL MAKE THE CUTEST FLOWER GIRL. ELMA’S GONNA MAKE THE BEST DRUNK SPEECH OF THE CENTURY! THE BOUQUET WILL BOUNCE OFF LUCOA’S CHEST AND LAND ON SAIKAWA, MAKING HER DREAM ABOUT KANNA MARRYING HER!
Okay, I am going way overboard for an already overboard moment. Of course Kobayashi wasn’t gonna go through with Tohru’s insane plan of getting married.
Yes. Love it. Love this series. Love this sequel. I’m so happy that this is the first television series KyoAni blessed the public with after the tragedy in 2019. Violet Evergarden got the first movies and specials, but Dragon Maid got the TV show! Wednesday became the best day of the week and that’s a hump day.
What else can I say about this anime that everyone else hasn’t already? First of all, the animation is stupendous. The fight scenes are out of this world in both meanings. Take a lesson second season of One Punch Man! Second of all, the stories! You think a lot of these stories aren’t going to go anywhere and just fill up time for an episode. But really, we see a lot of depth, existential crisis brewing, love, hate, passion, and so much more happening. We get to see everyone in the series go through some kind of personal change or character growth. Again, I cannot stress enough that we got to see more Elma on Tohru action. It was heavily needed and much of their relationship was lacking in season one. But here, we got an in depth look at how they met and what caused their rift. This series, while wacky and off the wall with talking dragons, it always strikes you when we see them go through some sort of growth.
Tumblr media
And just like with season one, sometimes family isn’t the people you’re related to by blood, but sometimes it’s with the people (and dragons) you’re around. Kanna knows that she’s never alone even when she travels all the way to NYC and will always have a home to return to. Lucoa will always be there for Shota with a hug. Fafnir and Takiya will always be there for each other in real life and in their games. Ilulu knows that she can let her guard down just a bit now that she has Tohru and Kobayashi in her life. That’s the kind of effect when you surround yourself with good people and dragons.
Thank you Miss Kobayashi. Thank you Kyoto Animation.
Let’s hope for more Kobayashi, Tohru, Kanna, and the rest for the future.
If you would like to watch any season of Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid, Crunchyroll and FUNimation have both seasons available to watch on their websites. Also available are the Mini Dragon specials.
Tumblr media
Oh and no, Kobayashi did NOT eat Tohru’s tail.

In true petty Danish style (Yeah, we’re like that sometimes) it has been suggested naming the street where Russia's embassy in Denmark is located Ukrainegade (Ukraine Street)
What is the Russian embassy’s answer to that you ask? They tweeted reminding (threatening) that the street is now named Kristianiagade (Kristiania Street) after the Norwegian capital’s former name, and renaming the street could ruin the Danish-Norwegian relationship
Get fucked Russia

sorry but shun and sellon's dynamic just has me by the pussy. shun's whole appeal isn't that he's a cool stoic number one ninja boy it's that all that is a front because he doesn't know how to fucking deal with his emotions, bottles it all up, and does stupid shit before he's saved/stopped by the people around him. he tries to stop time so shiori wouldn't die which dan has to talk him out of, he tries to go after dan in the doom dimension alone which the brawlers insist against, he tries to stay with fake shiori in the doom dimension which skyress has to fucking die for him to realize is a bad idea, he battles against hairdee's clones and almost gets overwhelmed before he's saved by komba. his love and respect for the people around him makes him do stupid shit because he doesn't know how to deal with it, and that part of what makes his character interesting is largely absent from seasons 2 and 3 but surprisingly makes a comeback in s4 with sellon.
sellon isn't the first character who pays special attention or takes a liking to shun - komba and maron exist. but she's the first one where it isn't played as a joke or a gag or anything of the like. she genuinely admires him, is portrayed as an equal by the narrative, and it's made explicit that they're alike no matter how much shun likes to deny it. she provides legitimate advice and shun comes to respect her too, which makes her betrayal so much better and so much more fun. because he gets soooooo mad! her betrayal is so much more personal to him than it is anything that he fucks up and now they can't escape interspace! it's fucking hilarious!

new vestroia and misogyny, part one
season two of bakugan starts a trend that would persist until the end of the series, namely the cutting down of the main female cast from three to one, and eventually to none by the second arc of the fourth season. here i break down the misogyny behind this writing choice, most especially in new vestroia, and how it all boils down to one thing: toy sales.
part 2 of this will cover how new vestroia’s writing has affected its more active female characters as well as how the relationship between the gender binary and the toy market extended to bakugan’s toy packaging.
despite the large number of the fandom being comprised of AFABs, bakugan is a shounen anime and as a result has always been more geared towards a male audience. bakugan is also a show that was created to sell toys, and the show is its biggest advertisement. by putting two and two together, it’s easy to come to the conclusion that the toys are also geared towards young boys.
the gender binary has always played a big role in how toys are sold and advertised. from auster and manbach (2012), research has long shown that girls and parents of girls will be more inclined to dabble in masculine and gender-neutral things than boys and parents of boys would in feminine things:

I think we should do a GamerStonks move and hype up Webkinz nostalgia so hard that it becomes a solid enough investment for them to start manufacturing the plushies again

Regarding the “just watch Rings of Power as fanfic!!!” - it drives me crazy. Do people not realize how fanfics work anymore? If you don’t like a fanfic, you close it and open another one, since everyone can make their own and there are probably a few thousand more around.
With Rings of Power - those are the people who own Tolkien’s Intellectual Property for the foreseeable future. RoP is the ONLY thing we get right now, there are no alternatives.
So no, it’s not as simple as “just enjoy it as a fanfic!”
That's also like... no. Hollywood is not allowed to make fanfic. Not like this. It would be one thing if they had come out of the gate saying they're going to do a vaguely Tolkien adaptation or spinoff. The whole "fanon" angle would've worked if they'd written an original story that didn't clash with canon, like taking a look into the Haradrim, for example.
But they keep claiming that what they're doing is SO true to Tolkien its EXACTLY accurate and if you don't like it YOU clearly haven't read the books. But also, we're writing the novel Tolkien never wrote because we secretly hate him and think we can do it better.
It can't possibly be fanfiction because none of the people involved are actually fans, and it's painfully obvious.
