Giraffe's Eye View | Komi Can't Communicate REVIEW

Wanna here more of my geeky opinions? Click here to check out my last review on 1962's Mothra! For now though, let's talk about the girl who doesn't talk a lot.

When a person has extreme social anxiety, also known as social phobia, they struggle to communicate with others. But take this into consideration: it makes for genuinely heartwarming entertainment.

Like I said back in the review of Princess Mononoke, anime isn't really my thing. For a while the only animes I watched were RWBY or the Avatar series, only to be met by gatekeeping nerds saying those 'aren't true animes'. Usually their logic is that anything made outside of Japan is faux-anime, a way of thinking I consider incredibly stupid. After all, imagine if any animated media made out of the United States couldn't be called a cartoon. Ignoring that though, anime never struck my interest, much to the persistence of my pals. Much like with My Little Pony, I legit can't remember a time when I wasn't hounded to watch more of the stuff or read more mangas, it had gotten annoying! I thought I was safe with my sci-fi loving friend SIM-N (aka Finjix for anybody not familiar with his Monova or WALL-G comics), but eventually even he succumbed to the power of the medium. What was it that did him in?

But we're not here to talk about Nagatoro, at least not yet, anyway. While we wait for Season 2 of that show to hit Crunchyroll, let's talk about the other anime series SIM-N got me hooked on!

Komi Can't Communicate is a series centered around Komi, a High School student with an extreme social disorder that renders her practically mute. Not that anybody else in her school notices, instead perceiving her as silent beauty that's too cool to mingle with peasants like them. That is until an unassuming boy named Tadano discovers the truth, becoming her best friend before promising to help her make more. This all happens in the first episode / volume of the manga, the two carrying on a conversation via a chalkboard. It's a really cute scene that sets up the rest of the series perfectly. You get how nervous Komi is, how well Tadano's able to read her, and the seeds of what will (hopefully) blossom into a romantic relationship.

Being someone who wasn't exactly a social butterfly in school, I relate to Komi far too easily. Heck, I can even relate to her getting a flip phone later on in the series, my family getting me an old school phone with keys rather than the newest iPhones that were slowly on the rise. The only thing I can't relate to is how everybody wants to be on Komi's radar. I was never that popular in High School, even accidentally. Admittedly that's the one annoying aspect of the show, how easily some problems are solved for Komi or how much everybody gushes over her, but luckily Komi's too modest to let any of that go to her head. The only opinion that genuinely seems to mater to her is Tadano's.

While equally intimidated by Komi's presence at first, Tadano quickly manages to pick up what her friend is feeling, resulting in the most endearing relationship on the show. Easily the cutest moments on the show come from the two encouraging each other, daring to reach outside their comfort zones, or even daggling in the romantic feelings they so obviously have for each other. I'd complain about this relationship being yet another slow burn I have to wait forever for, but recent developments in the manga have changed all of that.

Before that happens though, there's the matter of Komi making 100 friends. This subplot is kinduv' annoying considering how many characters you have to keep track of, some being more notable than others. It gets so annoying that my friends and I have resorted to giving some of these friends nicknames for ease of remembering. Here are the ones who make frequent appearances or are the most memorable to me:

First there's Najimi, Komi's second friend and Tadano's oldest friend. They are easily the best character on the show. Acting as a conundrum with lilac hair, this excitable young student is the one who truly pushes Komi to venture outside her comfort zone, inviting her to large social gatherings with an absurd amount of people. It helps that Najimi has been childhood friends with everybody, a factor they have used against Tadano on so many occasions. Good rule of thumb with Najimi: never tell them any of your secrets. You can pretty much guarantee they'll no longer be secrets by sundown. Also, never take them to Las Vegas, they have a gambling problem. Which is small potatoes in comparison to...

Yamai Ren has earned the nickname 'Stalker McGee' among my peers. So obsessed with Komi is she that in one of the earlier storylines she actually kidnaps Tadano with the intent on killing him so she can take his place. Now one could say she wasn't really gonna commit manslaughter, playing it off more like a joke considering she threatens him with drumsticks in the show. I'd buy that if not for the fact that she wields a very large butcher's knife in the manga! Or, y'know, the fact that she kidnapped one of her peers in the first spam place! She is a creep that keeps overstepping her boundaries, constantly trying to peak up Komi's skirt or having sexual fantasies of her. Later on in the show when the girls all have to share a bathhouse, Yamai even asks to grab Komi's boobs. Honestly I'm shocked she even bothered asking! Stalker McGee is easily the worst character on the show, sentiments shared by friends like Alec or @the-pale-servant. Nobody likes this character, so why is she still here? In fact, her continued presence doesn't even make sense in-universe! After freeing Tadano, Komi and co forgive the blood-thirsty bitch way too spam easily! Girl, your spoiled butt should be in prison!

Next there's Agari, a shy girl who totally has naturally green hair. Totally. Another anime trope she falls victim to is the series constantly drawing attention to her large breasts, which totally doesn't get annoying after the first few times they make this joke. Totally. Out of all the characters on this show, Agari is the one I feel the most pity for. Not only are they always pointing out how plump she is, but when they were making her they apparently rolled a Nat-1 for confidence, meaning her self-esteem is essentially non-existent. This is why when Komi eventually works up the courage to ask for her friendship, Agari only accepts only if she's treated like Komi's dog. That's not to say she isn't a cute character, but boy do I wish this universe would stop using her as a punching bag.

In contrast we have Nakanaka, that one student from school you know spends most of her time at Hot Topic when not playing the latest JRPG. She wears an unnecessary eye patch, is a pro at totally not Smash Brothers, prefers to roleplay as some reincarnated knight, is it weird that she's one my favorite character on the show? She's just so zany and over the top that you can't help but love her. Then again, it also helps that she's a foil to Yamai, so there's that.

Speaking of crazy, there's Makeru, Komi's self appointed rival who's super into sports... despite pretty much sucking at all of them.

There's plenty of other characters I haven't mentioned, but like I said, that's the downside of a show with a premise of someone making 100 friends. It's hard to remember them all. 100 always sounds big and flashy on paper, but in reality I would've been fine with Komi making 50 or so friends. It'd still be a large number while also providing us fans an easier time remembering who is who

Oh, and before anybody mentions why I haven't mentioned Manbagi yet, it's because I'm not that far in the manga yet and she was just introduced at the end of Season 2 of the anime. From what I have read though, she seems like yet another over-the-tope personality for Komi to befriend, though with a twist. Turns out she also has feelings for Tadano too. Unlike so many other properties that would depict the two as hostile rivals hellbent on making each other miserable in the name of love, Komi and Manbagi are depicted as friends who still try to encourage each other despite everything. I really dig that, actually. This series manages to depict healthy relationships founded on communication, something I wish more shows and books would do. Words can't describe how refreshing it is seeing everybody act so maturely. Y'know, save for Stalker McGee.

As stated though, the best moments come from Tadano and Komi. Them talking via chalkboard, Tadano cheering up Komi after a mishap at the water park, the two sitting next to each other during Christmas, Komi falling asleep on Tadano's shoulder on the bus ride back from a vacation, their ever-evolving relationship is the biggest reason why you should check out the book and series. If you haven't yet, do yourself a favor and buy yourself a copy of the manga or stream the show via Netflix. After all, it must've been good if it made an anime-shut-out like me into a reluctant weeb in training. Now to see if that carries over to the next anime I watch...

CURIOUS WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? TUNE IN NEXT TIME WHEN I CHECK OUT SPY X FAMILY! UNTIL THEN, MAY THE GLASSES BE WITH YOU!

Worm Arc 6 thoughts:

Holy shit what an arc.

ABB is brought down, Lung is in the Birdcage. I'm sure the Birdcage will keep it's escape proof status forever and he will never be a problem again.

Some great Chatterbug moments. I'm still team Wolfspider if I had to pick one, but I don't see a reason I have to pick one.

LazyTown call out. The second "pink wig" and "pirate" were said I was pulling up the YouTube video.

Nothing like spending time putting IKEA furniture together with a cute boy. IKEA, the true furniture of romance.

Brian's sister is fun. I expect we'll get to see a lot more of her. Hope she gets a cool power.

The fucking attack on the gala OH MY GOD! Just coming in through the fucking roof, taking out most of the opposition in seconds. Christ they went all in.

I hope Emma got stung a lot. I'm pretty sure Sophia is Shadow Stalker (though not positive) so I hope she got stung too.

Taylor fucking figuring out how to get them all out of there? How to beat Polearm Man? Fucking jumping under the halberd to prevent the bug zapper from happening? Goading him? Ok so tossing the halberd off the roof didn't end up being as useful as she hoped, but still! THAT'S MY FUCKING GIRL!

I did enjoy watching Metalstick McGee get the absolute shit kicked out of him in the parking garage. (Can you tell I never liked the guy?)

Dauntless could empower literally anything. Fucking ANYTHING. And he just went for a standard spartan getup. So boring OMG. Get a whip or a super-soaker or fucking anything interesting god damn.

Did not expect Coil to be the secret boss, caught me off guard. His powerset is pretty interesting. I hope he isn't too horrible of a person.

Holy fuck the scene with Taylor's dad. Fucking locking her in the room to force a confrontation. God damn. He clearly does care about her but man does he not do the right thing to show it. My man fucked the hell up. Lisa to the rescue though, all the more reason for her to be one of my favorites.

Taylor finally lets herself just be a supervillain! YAAAAAYYYY! Go get em champ, make mommy proud!

Interlude thoughts - Well it sure fucking sucks to be Paige don't it.

#Worm #Worm Web Serial #Parahumans #Cairavende reads Worm #Taylor Hebert #I would read an entire arc that was nothing but “Batman if Bruce Wane was scared of polearms instead of bats” getting fucking destroyed #My daughter is a god damn supervillain and now she KNOWS IT!#Lisa messed with Taylor's while calling her an angel. Chatterbug confirmed (Smugbug if you prefer).#Chatterbug #Smugbug

Double Duty (Part I)

“Y/N, your boyfriend is in rare form today.”

You looked up as Tony approached your desks, grumbling something about “bad attitude”.

“Anthony,” you responded in a sing-song voice, knowing that he hated when younger agents used his full name. “When is our boss not in a mood?”

Tony smirked and angled his head toward you, a silent admission that, once again, you were right.

A sharp whistle caught your attention, and you looked up at the bridge to see those steely blue eyes boring into your soul. “Y/L/N and DiNozzo, if you’re done whining about my attitude, we have a case.”

Rolling your eyes -you didn’t miss the way Gibbs’ eyes hardened; you’d pay for that later-, you stood from your desk to head upstairs to MTAC. “When are you going to learn that I don’t like being whistled at like a dog?” You punctuated your question every so often with a finger to his chest which he promptly grabbed and used to pull you closer to him.

“When you stop responding to it like a little bitch.” He smiled wickedly before tweaking your nose and turning to the screen ahead of you.

You could only describe the colorful woman before you as Anti-Abby, a fluffy-capped pen between her manicured fingers as she waved at you. You waved back, a smile instantly blooming on your face at the warmth she exuded.

“Miss Garcia, if you wouldn’t mind filling my agents in on the case.” Gibbs gestured for her to begin and you pulled out your trusty little notebook, ready to dive in.

Garcia, or Penelope as she told you cheerfully, explained that the BAU had been tracking a serial killer in the DC area who was targeting marines, hence consulting with NCIS. They had all been found in their cars outside their homes, dressed in their uniforms with a single GSW to the head. The BAU had discerned that the marines’ wives had similar hair and facial features, and they were presumably the true objects of his rage or desire. However, none of the women had reported a stalker or anything out of the ordinary in the days leading up to their husbands’ deaths. They had simply been going about their routines as usual, yoga classes, grocery shopping, dry cleaning, and so on.

“No other connection besides the wives looking similar?” Tony questioned, brow furrowed.

“Not yet. And he’s interrupted his pattern now, too. That’s why Hotch and our Chief reached out to you guys.”

Hotch? you mouthed to Tony, receiving a shrug in response. You resisted the urge to text McGee who was on a well-deserved vacation; he would’ve been able to tell you in seconds flat.

“Thanks, Garcia. We’ll check in with you when we have something.” Gibbs nodded with finality as Garcia double-waved. “Nice to meet you all!”

“Working for the FBI now, are we, Gibbs?” Tony couldn’t help but rib your boss and you cursed him silently. If he pushed Gibbs too far, you got the beast. At night. In bed.

Come to think of it, Tony should piss Gibbs off more often.

“Not for, with,” Gibbs growled out, frowning at the two of you. “What are you still doing upstairs? Get to work!”

Intentionally brushing up against him, you purred out a “Yes sir,” and trailed your nails across his cheek as you pulled away. You loved playing this game with Jethro, seeing how far you could push him at work before he snapped and pushed you up against a wall or into the elevator or against the dashboard of the car or…

Shaking your head at your impure thoughts, you sat down at your desk and flipped open the case file. You may have been a brat to your boyfriend, but you were an asset to your boss’s team, and now was not the time to get sidetracked. You sipped your coffee and kept your head down, diligently working through the file in front of you.

An hour or so later, you felt a tiny prick against your forehead and shot up to glare at Tony. “Stop throwing things at me!” you hissed. “You’re thirty-five, not five, idiot!”

He motioned for you to quiet down and inclined his head toward the elevator that had just dinged. Scrambling up from your seat, you walked over to perch on his desk which had a better view of the elevator. The doors opened revealing what you assumed to be the BAU, and you nearly drooled at the sight.

“Oh my god,” you and Tony breathed out simultaneously, tracking the movement of the absolutely gorgeous FBI team moving through the bullpen. Your eyes swept over each member of the team, from the classy blonde to the smirking brunette, the curly-haired guy clad in a sweater vest, old money in a suit, tall, dark, and handsome and- wow.

“That’s no Fornell,” Tony commented quietly, nudging you softly as he noticed your staring at the raven-haired man striding to the conference room. His mouth was twisted downward in a hard line, and he walked with a confidence that made your knees weak.

“He’s like Jethro in a different font,” you whispered, mesmerized. Your eyes trailed downward to his strong hands and their delicious veins, your heart rate picking up as you imagined the cold metal of his watch against your skin as his fingers tightened around your-

“Ow!” you and Tony cried out, reeling from twin smacks to the backs of your heads from Gibbs.

“Put your eyeballs back in your heads and get to work,” he growled, shooting you a glare that made your blood heat up. Was Leroy Jethro Gibbs jealous?

Filing that exciting little prospect in the back of your mind, you headed to the conference room to get acquainted with the visiting FBI team. Turned out that Gibbs in a different font was exactly that- Aaron “Hotch” Hotchner was a darker, brooding version of your man.

He shook your hand as he introduced himself and his team, and you let your hand linger in his for just long enough for Jethro to notice. You could feel his intense gaze on your back as you helped the BAU pin up evidence on the board. They then filled you, Tony, and Gibbs in on their working theories and profile before splitting into teams. You opted to join Spencer at the DC map he was annotating. Seeing the cases laid out spatially helped your mind get oriented to the case. He smiled at you as you approached the board and offered you a marker, explaining the way he usually created his diagrams. You smiled in return, finding that his process was not far from your own.

Your teams worked together diligently through the afternoon and evening, and though the case had your utmost attention, you couldn’t help but notice the way your nerves tingled at the sight of Gibbs and Hotch working side by side. The two spoke to each other with such an air of arrogance and confidence that it made you wonder how they’d sound degrading you and praising you, above you and below you or perhaps in front and behind as they-

“Y/L/N!” Gibbs barked, squinting at you. “Something more interesting than the case on your mind?”

“No sir, just thinking about the diagram Reid drew up for us. Kinda looks like the Eiffel Tower,” you mused innocently, his eyes flashing at your outward show of defiance and covert flirtation.

You smiled at him sweetly before excusing yourself to go get some coffee from the kitchen downstairs.

“So, Agent Y/L/N, what has you thinking about Paris?”

You nearly choked on your coffee, turning to find Hotch leaning against the counter with his arms crossed and the hint of a smirk on his face. “I uh- Spencer’s drawing was- it’s just a lovely city,” you finished stupidly, cheeks warming. You would’ve rather dumped your scalding hot coffee on your body than admitted that the Eiffel Tower you were referencing was a structure made of men, not steel.

He reached past you to pick up the coffee pot, and your knees nearly buckled at the assault on your senses. He smelled like warm cinnamon and cologne and pure masculinity, an intoxicating mix that excited you in a different way than Jethro’s sawdust, coffee, and bourbon. You tried to calm your breathing, sure that he would hear it and be able to read your filthy mind. “I’m just- I need to- back to work!” you rushed out, narrowly slipping past him and back upstairs to the conference room.

Idiot, you chastised yourself. You sounded as dumb as the first time Jethro had gotten in your face the second week of your working at NCIS. You’d misfiled evidence which cost the team an extra day’s worth of work as the chain of custody had to be amended. Gibbs had crowded into your space, his steely blue eyes locked onto your warm chocolate ones, explaining how such a mistake could cost them an entire case one day and how you could not do it again, ever. Rather than responding with an intelligible apology or assurance that you’d never fuck up like that again because you had a brain and would be sure to use it, you merely eked out a breathy “Yes, sir,” that betrayed your true thoughts.

And the rest, they say, is history.

Later that night, the two team leaders decided that none of their agents would be helpful or intelligent enough to work this case without some sleep. You gathered your belongings from your desk and walked to the elevator, deciding that you would just meet Jethro at the car. You chatted with the BAU about their lives outside of work and found yourself thinking that cases with the FBI wouldn’t be so bad if you worked with these guys every time.

You could practically feel Gibbs, halfway across the bullpen, shudder at the thought.

“So where do they have you guys staying?” you asked, figuring that a drive back to Virginia at this time of night wouldn’t be wise.

“The Marriott down the road,” Derek answered smoothly, “if you’re looking for some company tonight, that is.” You laughed and shoved his shoulder, realizing that you got along so well with this guy because his annoyingly suave and flirtatious banter reminded you of Tony.

“An intriguing offer,” you teased, earning a smirk from Derek, “but I’m afraid my marine wouldn’t be too happy if he heard you say that.” You inclined your head to where Gibbs was still at his desk and Derek threw his hands up in mock defeat. Bidding them all good night as you parted ways in the garage, you got settled in Jethro’s truck and tucked your chin into your hand, closing your eyes for just a moment.

The driver’s side door opened and you sat up with a gasp, realizing you’d fallen asleep. “W’time is it?” you mumbled through a yawn, stretching your arms above you before wrapping them around your boyfriend’s neck.

“Just past midnight,” Gibbs murmured against your lips, and you hummed happily in response. “Let’s get you home and into bed.”

“And then?” you asked, hoping that your bratty antics today would earn you a punishment that brought more pleasure than pain.

“And then you sleep,” Jethro chuckled, eyes twinkling with mirth as he pulled out of the parking lot. You huffed out your annoyance and crossed your arms like a petulant child. You decided that tomorrow you would hunt down this marine-murdering son of a bitch singlehandedly if you had to, and then you would get a deliciously naughty night with your man.

Part II

Like with the collage I did of Disney and American McGee's versions of Alice from Lewis Carrol's original novel, I thought that should do a similar one on Pinocchio. To be honest Disney's take on Pinocchio wasn't my favourite Disney film, either was Alice in Wonderland (part from their 2010 remake), but I love the story plot of Lies of P and the game's version of Pinocchio. Everything about the game, from the animal themed masks that the stalkers wears (that P collects) to the Golden Coin Fruit tree are all references to Carlo Collodi's original novel.

HGSDTHEY LOOK SOFT. You know what the website I use to buy my yarn takes 8-12 weeks to ship my yarn lol

50$ is not bad I originally wanted to save my money to buy official merchandise from riotgames but let’s me real, I don’t have 300$ to drop rn I’m going to get the blade first LMAO

Are you thinking about cosplaying her this year? I sound like a stalker but I saw your chica cos 😞 the storyline for the movie threw me off so bad there’s always new lore wtf scott 😭😭

YOU HAVE ALICE THEME TATTS? HELLOO!! 👀

Oh man dude I was heartbroken asylum was canceled (fuck you EA) I lowkey waited YEARS for ANYTHING ALICE RELATED and then the concept art was released <\3 I wanted to cry. How about you?

-🧩

YOU KNOW ABOUT MY OLD ACCOUNT??? OR DO YOU PERHAPS EVEN FOLLOW MY INSTA? (if so I might try to make an insane guess about who you are, but I think she'd probably know I planned to cosplay alice this year-? Unless I never said anything— and she actually probably saw the tattoo cause I posted it on my old tumblr and insta-?)

But the vorpal blade is a good start 🥰😍 I too don't have $300 to splurge even though I would die for one of the figurines. I was upset too, although the concept made me a little...less? Upset? After reading about it. I mean mcgee is good at pulling things off so I feel as though he may have done it so well I could push the general story out of the way....but the mechanic of alice being able to jump into people's dreams....-? Mhhh I never read the bible though to save myself from being spoiled if I was gonna pay for an expensive game to play.....since it won't be made anymore I guess I could probably invest time to see the project he fleshed out and spent 10 years working on

I don't know if you want to answer this but who in your circle is keep screenshot of you guys or anybody to give it to stalker McGee?

They're bluffing. I don't think anyone gave them the info. They went around and grabbed the info without anyone noticing, then act like they were 'given' it when they actually went to search for it.

They're constantly lying and making shit up, don't listen to them.

Giraffe's Eye View: Christmas Specials Special (2023) | Sakura's Wonderful Christmas

Chestnuts are roasting on an open fire. Jack Frost is nipping at your nose. Mom and dad can hardly wait for school to start again. All the dogs in the neighborhood somehow learned to bark Jingle Bells in sync. Yet retail workers are still more annoyed with Mariah Carey. Snow is getting shoveled, tossed, and formed into sentient beings leading parades without permits. It makes for an excellent distraction as the Krampus abducts children for bad behavior. Fruitcake is exchanged only to find its permanent home in the garbage. Terrorists have hijacked the Holiday office party right before your boss can give you a Jelly of the Month Club membership as your bonus. And of course, the Turducken has returned to wreak its fiery vengeance upon an unsuspecting world! If all this doesn’t put you in the Christmas spirit, perhaps these following Holiday specials will!

Greetings people of today and robots of tomorrow! It is I, Santa Clark, your geeky giraffe friend with a deep love of Christmas! My obsession for the yuletide is rivaled only by Maleficent’s hatred for it, which is saying a lot considering she once teamed up with Mad Madam Mim to kidnap the literal Spirit of Christmas. Yes, that really happened. I know this due to my annual pilgrimage to the Island of Misfit Specials, home to obscure or nerdy festive media ranging from movies, TV episodes, and comics. It’s no easy journey. Constantly I find myself confronted by sinister snowmen, genocidal gingerbread men, and worst of all, crappy commercials. Getting stabbed in the foot by a candy-cane wielding cookie is one thing, but I swear I’ve seen that ad for Wilbur’s White Elephant Gift Emporium more times than I’ve seen Miracle on 34th Street! Sometimes at night I catch myself reciting that jingle. Wilbur’s White Elephant Gift Emporium: Where Christmas meets Convenience! Huh, maybe Maleficent had a point.

Nah, my deep-rooted appreciation for this time of year can weather even the most moronic marketing! It helps that most of the merry media I’ve seen have put me in the perfect Holiday mood! Examples include the time a Ninja Turtle found himself trapped in a truck full of stollen toys, a drunk department store Santa stumbling onto a wish-granting magic bag, Big Bird nearly becoming a popsicle, Gwenpool waking up in a world where Galactus took the place of jolly ol’ Saint Nicholas, a terrifying tree stump trying to slaughter some saps over a stupid ship war, and the year when Death gave the Little Match Girl the greatest gift of all. Needless to say, I thought I had seen it all. That is, until I took my friends on a trip to the Island, tasking them to find me new, strange, seasonal specials to review! Some of them were fair, finding me festive favorites as comforting as coco in front of the fireplace. Others were fiendish, wanting to feed off my misery like Gremlins after midnight. Regardless of how naughty or nice my companions were, I’ve compiled all of their suggestions into a makeshift advent calendar! So stay tuned everyday until Christmas to see how badly my buddies can shred what little sanity I have left.

On the eighth day of Christmas, my buddies gave to me...

Y’know what’s annoying? Asides from a-holes who shop on Thanksgiving? Not being an otaku. I’ve made my general disinterest in anime no secret, blaming it on a lack of Yu-Gi-Oh or Pokemon when I was younger. Closest I got was Avatar: The Last Airbender, an amazing adventure series that gate-keeping weebs will insist doesn’t count. First of all, yes it does. Second, none of this comes from a place of disrespect. If anything, I appreciate how Japan treats the medium as a true artform instead of relegating animation to the kid’s table like here in the States. Regardless of my feelings on the subject, there’s no escaping the relentless swam I call my friends. Previously I’ve proclaimed how persistent my pals were in pestering me to pursue My Little Pony, but that’s nothing compared to how bothersome my buddies become when begging me to view Cowboy Bebop or My Hero Academia. Not even Christmas offers any relief since Dani (Alice2Rose) has presented me with the thirty-fifth episode of the Cardcaptor Sakura series, Sakura’s Wonderful Christmas. Brilliant, what better way to get me invested in something new than plopping me in halfway through the plot? That’d be like handing me a novel with the first three chapters ripped out! Still, I could say the same for Miraculous Ladybug and I managed to follow what was going on fairly easily. Perhaps I’m being too pessimistic.

Or not. My confusion starts immediately after the admittedly catchy theme tune as we’re dropped into the dream of our titular magical schoolgirl, Sakura. Her English dub is done by Carl McKillip while Sakura Tenge provides the original Japanese vocals. Much to the annoyance of anime purists everywhere, I prefer the dub. If I wanted to read what the characters were saying, I’d buy the manga! Tough perhaps I should, since Sakura and I are equally confused as a bunch of cards rain from the sky, a mysterious feminine figure watching on from Tokyo Tower. What are these cards? Who is this woman? Does our hero have these dreams often? Do you hear what I hear? Thanks to the power of the Internet, I at least have an answer for the first question. These are Clow Cards, magical macguffins capable of storing magical monsters. Collect them all, of course! You can find them at Hot Topic right next to the Rarity body pillows! As for the woman, they heavily imply it being Sakura’s teacher Miss Mizuki. Who is Mizuki? Why is she so important? Do you recall the most famous reindeer of all?

No time for that, we have real issues at hand! Like what Sakura is gonna get her friends for Christmas! Who are her friends? Are any of them relative to the plot? What’s with the crazy chick’s meltdown when Sakura approaches to ask a simple question? What do you get a wookie for Christmas when he already owns a comb?

Perhaps some tickets to a winter carnival, since suddenly we cut away to one. Okay, how come these things keep popping up in media? Is this an actual thing I never noticed before? Who wants to visit a fair in freezing temperatures aside from me? Everytime I see one I expect Captain Marvel to show up to beat down the Seven Deadly Sins. At least then I’d have a familiar face to follow, instead we’re stuck with Sakura and company. Again; who are these people? Who’s the sentient skyscraper with gray hair hanging with them? Wait, are he and Sakura on a date? She’s ten, isn’t she a little young to be romantically involved? How old is her boyfriend? Who spiked the eggnog? And why does it take everybody so long to notice the park is on freak’n fire!?

Leaping into action, our young heroine and some bratty boy I’m assuming to be her sidekick activate their Shadow Card Jutsu against the Fire Sprite responsible for fanning the flames. Why did it decide to set stuff on fire? Is it Charizard’s cousin and this was its way of making things merry and bright? Home come the love child of Pikachu and Simba is instructing our heroes how to stop it? Is he incapable of actually assisting them? What was the point of the protagonists putting the park goers to sleep instead of evacuating them to safety? Why is Miss Mizuki watching from a distance? People are in danger, what’s stopping her from helping? Why is she stalking her students? Does she know about Sakura’s after school activities? Who's playing first? Mary, did you know? I don’t know or care. By this point I was so lost I was actually getting angry! Whatever, Sakura manages to capture the creature, gives a gift to her boyfriend, the park takes medication for the burning, Simbachu manifests a magical light show, and I’m left looking for some Tylenol.

All respect to followers of this franchise like Dani, but this was terrible. Dragon Ball at least offers audiences a ‘Previously On’ segment before the story starts proper. I wasn’t expecting to have to do homework in order to watch this! It made me feel stupid and Care Bears didn’t even manage to do that. Granted this is far better animated and acted, but why should I care when the writing is what’s bogging it down? So yeah, sad to say Cardcaptor Sakura is not my cup of sencha. Action anime still has no appeal to me.

Thanks to my buddy AN-D for making this GIF for me. ^^

Besides, I prefer slice of life. Yeah, in an astonishing turn of events, a certain robotroll finally cracked the code by getting me hooked on plotlines pertaining to high school romance and found families. Shows such as Spy X Family, Don’t Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro, Dress Up Darling, and especially Komi Can’t Communicate. Komi’s capers were so compelling that I even bought all volumes of the manga. An autistic guy like me could easily relate to the plight of Shōko Komi (Amber Lee Connors), a student suffering from an extreme social disorder that renders her practically mute. Despite this, her goal is to make 100 friends, a task one would assume to be easy considering her classmates treat her like a goddess, though really that has more to do with her looks rather than her personality. Not to mention the added attention only makes her more nervous. Only the typical wallflower Hitohito Tadano (Kyle McCarley) manages to bypass her bashfulness, becoming her first friend via an earnest conversation on the chalkboard. Together the two form a terrific friendship, eventually blossoming into a beautiful romance. Signs of this inevitable development are evident even in earlier entries like It’s Just a Merry Christmas.

Y’know what’s annoying? Aside from trying to remember the names of all of Komi’s companions? Sharing a birthday with Jesus. Coincidentally, Komi does! Thus Tadano and their gender-neutral agent of chaos Najimi (Skyler Davenport) are prompted to plan a party at her place later that day, Christmas Eve. Like Rainbow Dash they rush to the mall alongside Komi’s other amigos, Najimi challenging all present to find something exceptional for their silent friend that’s ¥5000 / $35.30. All fail save for Tadano, spotting a humongous cat plushy priced at ¥8000 / $56.48 that they all split the bill on. Still, shopping for a loved one is easy when you’re able to ask them what they like. Komi isn’t as fortunate, scrambling to the store to find something with her little brother in tow. She needed backup in case she ran into a psychotic postman or the Terminator. Otherwise he offers little assistance other than pointing out a scarf she gets for Tadano. Sadly we never see him receive it, but he does wear it in future chapters and in promotional material, so I’m assuming he appreciated it.

We do see Komi receiving her cat once the crowd converges at her home. Her peers perceive Shōko’s silence as a sign they screwed up, but Tadano understands she’s embarrassed by the affection. He suggests she send a thankful text later, not even mentioning how the feline was his idea. How honorable an hombre. Meanwhile, everyone else greedily battles for their Senpai Supreme’s attention, including Himiko Agari the Big Green Dog (Sarah Williams), Omoharu Nakanaka the Chosen One (Cherami Leigh), and Ren Yamai (Cristina Vee).

Yamai, more than anyone, deserves a permanent place on Santa’s Naughty List. My buddies and I have dubbed her Stalker McGee due to her perving out over Komi whenever on screen. She is a Yandere, and an odious one at that. In an earlier installment she actually kidnapped Hitohito with the clear intent on murdering him so she can take his place. You can’t even argue she was joking since the boy spends a majority of the story tied up in a closet before Ren returns with a knife. Granted it was changed to drumsticks for the show, though I could imagine Ren still using them for stabbing. Later on the class takes a trip to Osaka where all the girls share a bath house and Yamai salivates at the notion of touching her goddess’s bare breasts. No joke, it actually made me feel physically uncomfortable. I was squirming so much my spots kept popping off! She at least asks for consent, the timid teen having the common sense to refuse the request. Komi knows Yamai is crazy, but accepts it cuz of friendship. Screw you, Tomohito Oda, that’s not how that works! Generally I can’t bring myself to hate anyone, real or fictional, but Stalker McGee is a rare exception. Someone lock this psycho in prison! Have her be run over by a reindeer instead of Grandma! Let Godzilla step on her! Force her to watch Care Bears Nutcracker Suite on a loop! Just make her go away!

Uh, what was I saying? Oh right, the party! Putting aside Stalker McGee’s never-ending creepiness, a fun time ensues as crazy costumes are tried on, violent video games are played, Love Actually is watched for the ten-thousandth time, and depriving dares are dished out. All that and a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken! Like most chapters in Komi’s ongoing quest to make friends, I found this one to be endlessly endearing. It was well written and delightfully drawn, each character succeeding in stealing the spotlight, for better or worse. At the heart of it all was Komi and Tadano, the two getting along as splendidly as ever. Even without dialogue I could easily understand what they were feeling, which was certainly a nice antithesis to Cardcaptor. Still, much as I was miffed over Cardcaptor’s lack of clarity, I know Dani only brought it up under the assumption that I’d enjoy it. That’s why I don’t mind my pals' never-ending peer pressure, since their pleas are loving ones meant to broaden my horizons. Though there are some instances where my friends make me kranky.

Some extremely specific genres I've had to make up my own names for.

Mindscape Fantasy: The majority of the story happens in a symbolic representation of a character's headspace, trying to pick through the dream logic and free-association to explore and possibly heal their subconscious

Paprika

American McGee's Alice

Yume Nikki

Psychonauts

Inception I guess but do better

Psychogeography Horror: Something about this entire region of space appears to be apocalyptically broken in ways that threaten its inhabitants' lives and identities (what do you mean that sounds oddly resonant, you know there are better ways to tell me you're trans)

Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius

Roadside Picnic

STALKER

Uzumaki

The Southern Reach

Command and Conquer: Tiberian Sun

New Phyrexia

Invisible Diaries or Unnatural Histories: A series of loosely related contemplative vignettes about strange-but-beautiful places or objects, each of which is internally and thematically consistent but mostly self-contained

Invisible Cities

Sunless Sea and Sunless Skies

Invisible Games

Myst

The SCP Foundation

The Unorthodox Engineers

Doctor Who sometimes

Magic: the Gathering sometimes

Star Trek sometimes

So, favorite character from each modern Disney TVA show you've seen like: Phineas and Ferb, Fish Hooks, Kick Buttowski, Motorcity, Tron Uprising, Gravity Falls, Wander Over Yonder, Penn Zero, Pickle and Peanut, Future Worm, Billy Dilley, The 7D, Star vs, Milo Murphy's Law, Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure, Ducktales 2017, Big Hero 6 The Series, Big City Greens, Amphibia, Owl House, Molly McGee, and Hamster & Gretel?

Okay so given your starting point of Phineas and Ferb: (I.e. from the 2010's to present day, though I know P and F started sooner), and omitting any shows I haven't seen...: Phineas and Ferb: It's Doof. This was both easy as it was predictable. Look he's well loved by most of the internet for a reason, being a charming character who despite being evil you can kinda get why as well as easily see why he flat out retired from trying to get petty revenge with over the to pinators and his relationship with Perry was amazing. Fish Hooks: Yeah I tried to find one but I was never really that heavily into the show nor attached to any of these characters. Motorcity: Texas. I love my dumb redneck son. Gravity Falls: Stan. The Man, the myth, the legend, the wallet full of other people's money he conned or pick pocketed, who else could it be? Out of the cast, which is pretty stacked, he's the one that just comes easiest to me whenever I think about or write him and the fact he ended up being shockingly layered just made him better. Randy Cunningham: Theresa as I thought she and Randy were neat together. I don't have a huge relationship with the show but it wasn't bad at all. Wander Over Yonder: Wander himself. I just think Jack did such a godo job with him and he's such a unique character: While an obliviouslly kind unintetional trickster isn't new, the way he acted and behaved as one felt so damn nice to see. Star Vs The Forces of Evil: Tom.. just Tom. He's brilliantly written, and has an impressive character arc going from a fairly loathsome stalker.. to a kind young man who wants to be better but dosen't know how. There's a reason he got a whole retrospective out of me and still lives rent free in me and @jess-the-vampire's head Milo Murphy's Law: Milo himself. Al did a great job with him and I love his kind nature, lazzie faire attitude toward the batshit insanity around him and just genuine charm. There's a reason despite his bad luck field destroying everything around him the only two people in town who outright hate him are someone who secretly wants to be him and a thorughly unlikeable prick whose thorughly miserable. Being played by Weird Al in what is so far his only starring cartoon role dosen't hurt. Ducktales: This is a monumentally hard one but ... it has to be Donald, with Lena a close second thanks to her deep character arc and Kimiko Glenn's performance. But let's face it this is probably THE best version of Donald Duck, kind, thoughtful, a wonderful father but still the loveable mess we all know. While also somehow being the wolverine of his family's x-men. Big City Greens: Gloria, Gloria in a chealsea's day o, gloria. Relatable, hilarious, and having , as is a theme here, a good character arc, who dosen't love her? Amphibia: Sasha. I mean I love a lot of characters from that, Maddy and Marcy would also have a good shot at this, but once again it's the character arc that wins out, going from a controlling bully to a capable leader and a kind and thoughtful young woman. The Owl House: Hunter. once again you can partially blame @jess-the-vampire but frankly the character just made a splash from minute one and the more layers you peeled back on this bad sad boy, the more he became one of my faviorites, and easily the performance of zeno's career. The Ghost and MollyMcGee: Libby. I loved my mildly depressed boehemian daughter.

#gravity falls #the owl house #amphibia #ducktales #big city greens

you can still cheat in polyamorous relationships and we have to ask ourselves why Vicki filed for divorce and they went through with it despite his insistence on still loving her, their shared ownership of all assets, the children, literally everything that makes it way more convenient and less heart-wrenching to stay married :) meanwhile, he’s still one of (her) only followers and apparently maintaining a relationship with jensen! The cockles theory really makes misha look even worse because it means that he left Vicki and made a family oriented PR book with her before he had the balls to file for divorce and let her own anything by herself. That is not what ethical and equal polyamory looks like :)

No we don't. We don't have to ask anything. And it's definitely not your place as a rando fucking hiding on anon to jump to bad faith assumptions either, just because some wincels that you may very well be a kindly voiced troll of (and by the end of your ask, your mask is slipping sis) launch into confirmation bias when you can clearly fucking see it's a screenshot someone sent, it was shrinkable which isn't possible, showed another icon behind it, all kinds of shit.

Which, frankly, disappointing. I would love an answer. Sadly, I would need to moron to take that as concrete proof of anything. Which I'd guess is why yall wouldn't send the receipts when I was asking. Seriously. Send me something better than that. Give me an answer that isn't this fandom's cockles yodeling. I've pitched shit as random as Emily Swallow before to escape it. But a screenshot of a shrunken screenshot does not a slam dunk make.

Your entire ask from there is tilted in the bad faith titanic assumption leap from there, so really everything just swirls down a toilet bowl of negative assumptions you built inside your own head and constructed into a semblence of a theory.

Like, sure, that's possible. Or, they were married for fucking ever, he wasn't the political nerd she married anymore, she's a lowkey personality and exhausted by flighty mcgee and the shrieky stalkers all the time, and they decided to split over things not to do with their polyamory (POLYS CAN BREAK UP FOR REASONS OTHER THAN CHEATING) or relationships. And then Alma or Jensen or whoever the fuck yall are currently screaming about don't even fit into the equation.

FUNNY HOW THAT WORKS!!

Nobody cares, Candico. Nobody, realistically. Cares. At least not in my corner. Everyone was eager to try to find Marder as behind it in my corner, but came up flat, because your idea of proof is garbage. Which. Sad.

You don't know the premise under which they split, the cause of the split, the real mood of the split, you don't know why, you don't know it's associated with relationships. You just sorta found a dalmatian and tried to play connect the dots and decided the dog's fur makes a pony. Like. Ok?
