#rambling 11

You know, I sometimes think about how timing really effects our engagement with a story. Not in the “you love that story because it came into your life at the right moment” sense, but in the sense that where and how much you waited for it changes your reaction.

People on tumblr talk about the community that comes from weekly episodes of a show, etc but I’m talking more about like, the way watching a show after it’s over will change your reactions to it even entirely independent of spoilers. There’s lots of shows and book series I’ve liked all the way through or even loved, which have die hard contingents of fans who were disappointed the ending or bailed after hating a middle installment.

And often I can look at those things and go “yeah, I probably wouldn’t like this as much if I’d been forced to sit on that middle season for a year, or wait eight years for that final book” but even though I can see that, it’s overshadowed by the way I personally got to breeze right past the quality dip season and I picked up book 11 two days after book 10 so I didn’t have any built up expectations, and as a consequence I liked things that other people didn’t.

And I don’t think either experience—the old fan who waited and had their hopes dashed and the new fan who never built up hopes—is really more real than the other, having been in both camps in various fandoms, but I think it’s interesting that the entirely beyond the fourth wall factor of waiting time can have such an impact on the most die hard of fanbases when the canon is exactly the same

#I’m pretty sure my MASH opinions are wildly different #from anyone who didn’t watch all 11 seasons in a one-month-long fugue state #is what I’m saying #the kitten rambles

Revenant Hill (𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘎𝘭𝘰𝘳𝘺 𝘚𝘰𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘵𝘺)

The year is 1919. After the barn he was living in burns down, Twigs the cat takes up residence in a wet log near an abandoned graveyard. When the owl from the next hill over starts demanding rent, Twigs must find a way to make ends meet, and things just get more complicated from there.

When it comes to the movie redesigns, the only one I dislike is Jay, I can't explain it but these do NOT feel like the same guy to me I'm not fond of it.

He feels. Baby-ish.

#for the record i LOVE the movie redesigns #except for jay #maybe im just being ridiculous #but part of it is like . in association w/ the fact that in the 11-min era he feels more stupid and childish #which i absolutely despise #you can have a funny character without having them be stupid and annoying #ninjago #raine's rambles #jay ninjago #ninjago jay #jay walker

pre-trimax

#vashwood #trigun maximum #trimax #vash the stampede #nicholas d wolfwood #anyone else think about an universe where wolfwood was not assigned to be vash's guide and was just a normal regular guilt-ridden mf that #meets vash along the way #and they happened to be friends. maybe a little more than friends bc TO ME #vash had a little crush on ww when they first met. he stroked his chin he gave 2 coins to 2 children when he only had 3 he told him his #smile was sad as fuck like #totally crush-able 11/10 and imo ww is pretty charming when it comes to strangers and first meetings #he's naturally kind and casual in tone. he likes the mundane he likes townspeople #it's much more apparent when he gets the chance to just hang out like pre-trimax and in that chapter in vol 7 #when they go to a bar and he's just chatting up with the barkeeper. and in the first few chapters of trimax actually #to me he's a lot more sociable than vash is Tbh. ww is also good with children but i think vash is more impulsive enough to play with them #and be silly. its fun how they balance out like this even socially #anyway didnt even mean to ramble about that. its not on topic at all DFMGKSDGM #ruporas art

This chaotic gremlin has happily skipped with light steps over the line that lets me to start dissecting his visual design and how it works for his story so far. These are pretty obvious ones and some are speculations as I have not finished his route yet. But I'm having fun. :) Overthinking starts here: - His color scheme. His signature color is purple, which is the complimentary color, or should I say the opposite color of yellow/gold in the color wheel. Chev's color is gold. Ahh the conflict. But also being complimentary colors, the fact that Clavis is helping Chev around works too, as he let's his older brother work more efficiently. - He is wearing a white/gold jacket over his shoulders but not fully wearing it. He is in Chev's factions and is his "servant". It also hides his own "main color" which can be seen as him hiding his true nature and motives. - His outfit underneath the jacket is more "servant like" than what other princes wear. He is prim and proper. You could just give a napkin to rest on his arm in his default pose and he would look like a servant. - I'm not sure, but the pin on his cravat seems to be a rose? Now I'm getting fully speculative, but I think the fact that it is stated that Clavis hates roses (or more specific, scent of rain soaked roses) can be foreshadowing for his distain for Rhodolite (as it is mentioned to be the kingdom of roses) but the rain part makes me think that it is more about him hating the idea of normal people of Rhodolite hurting. Rain usually symbolizes sadness and hurt. I feel like Clavis really wants good things for the kingdom, and understands that in some things, absolute monarchy is just an inferior option for the common people. I believe that he really wants to help everyone in Rhodolite, not just the kingdom as a construct. All this is just cloaked beneath the hatred of Chev as Chev symbolizes monarchy and the old ways. Don't get me wrong, I feel like they hate each other as the siblings usually do, but I feel like they still care about each other in some level. And in their own bizarre way. But I could be wrong. Because I'm still at the chapter 11 or so? Somewhere around there.

I love how obvious It becomes that Dungeon meshi is at least partially inspired by D&D

Because in the anime we’re clearly getting to the point in the campaign when you turn to look at the DM and realize they’re a sick mf dead set on making you question your existence

#yes this is about ep 11 #the animation in the last scene came for my fucking heart #delicious in dungeon #dungeon meshi #dungeons and dragons #dnd #d&d #Star is rambling again

Once I was scrolling thru naruto fics and saw the tag "buisnessman!Kakashi" and all I could think about was Kakashi being a child businessman, owning all the konoha adults at doing business while wearing an oversized suit and tie. That idea is so fucking funny to me.

#obito: that kakashi! hes always showing me up by getting better deals than me >:-( #also just the idea of lil child Kakashi showing up at a business meeting and sealing the deal with an outline written in adorablly childish #handwriting. written in crayon lol #call this the naruto businessman au #every ninja is a business person and it exactly parallels canon. that is my dream #sealed inside naruto is the partial spirit of the ultimate buisnessman but its too powerful and everyones afraid #fucking hashirama's face on the wall as the company founder lmao rip madara: fuck this company ur brother embarrassed my brother so bad #at deal making that he died. im gonna tear it all down. face me hashirama! deal for deal. ill become the ultimate businessman ill control #the world and put an end to all this business! #oh got its so weird like the founders waterpark au that i also keep deep in my heart #anyway this is weird wtf am i doing. procrastinating and its like almost 11 i should keep writing or go to sleep lol #but wait: 10 years ago the spirit of a ferral businessman was unleashed upon this building. there was no stopping him. his charisma was #unmatched. his expense reports! his terrible otherworldly expense reports! he was too efficient! he fired half the staff! the spirit of #that buisnessman is sealed inside of u naruto. thats why theyre so afraid of u. and then cut to naruto in an oversized buisness suit #looking shocked. aw iruka as a daycare working. cute #anyway this is fucking dystopian lol #unrelated #naruto ramblings

rewatching the infamous archivists loredump stream (Oct 11) and got to the part where phil is like "oh yeah another bombshell: bagi said she grew up on the island and she has a brother" and cellbit of course responds "oh yeah maybe hes on the island too maybe hes frozen somewhere" and you can SEE phils face as he tries so so SO hard not to go ooc and joke about it because like. ccphil knows. cccellbit knows. ccphil knows that cccellbit knows. but their cubitos do NOT know, and it's killing him.

above: the face of a man who is keeping his rp points, goddamnit. (he almost cracks when cellbit mentions logging the information "in his head" (ooc: discord, according to ccphil))

#dont mind me im just rambling #qsmp philza #archivists #<-i miss them and im coping #this moment happens around 5:50:00 in phil's yt vod (oct 11) if youre interested

Only a few hours into 2024 (in my time zone), and Japan has experienced tons of earthquakes followed by the most urgent tsunami warning since 3/11.

I am terrifed.

I hate 2024 already. Please take it back.

For those concerned (and know Japanese), here's the livestream I'm watching. Rn it's essentially, "flee for your lives, while you still can!"

If you for whatever reason are living along the affected areas of the west coast of Japan rn and are bumming on tumblr instead of listening to the news, evacuate, NOW.

#Japan #tsunami #natural disasters #emergency alert #earthquakes #current events #YukiPri rambles #i think i'm going to throw up #i was not physically present in affected area of 3/11 but i was deeply involved in relief efforts afterwards and #having some real flashbacks rn #gods i hope everyone will be okay #also i know this area personally i spent so many summers there #i know so many people there #it's so personal

Fowler and Shindo's no children ass marriage was hilarious

Like they didn't even get divorced!

Fowler gets widowed and sent back to home county because no one is sponsoring his green card anymore lol

#my ramblings #god they were so domestic #in the 'one day im gonna snap and murder you in our marriage bed' way #this is what happens when your locked in a tower with another man for 11 months out of the year for /a decade/ #blue eye samurai #<- an amazing show. highly recommended #abijah fowler #heiji shindo

so I was very sad about how the internet has a lot of fake tweet generators but no fake twitter profile generators for some reason? and then I remembered that there's usually illustrator file mockups of that sort of thing for graphic designers so I went and downloaded one (...probably I should have thought of that earlier...) but anyway here's what Laurence's profile looks like in the twitter AU a year or three into retirement:

and then later, around the time people really start following him without knowing who he is already:

#the temeraire twitter AU #temeraire #bringing back this very silly AU for a bit because I wanted to do profiles from the start #professional graphic designer who uses mockups for work constantly forgets they exist when she needs them for fun more at 11 #the kitten rambles #temeraire spoilers
