#the key word being 'almost'

[m00ngbin]

TFS TUESDAY! BUT ACTUALLY TUESDAY THIS TIME!

#last chapter was a lot #IN A GOOD WAY #a lot in a good way #it kills me how if they would just TALK TO EACH OTHER this whole thing could have been completely avoided #but thats not how people work. especially not kids and also toichiro is gonna do everything in his stupid power to keep them from being #friends again #i know im cutting it close its almost wednesday #BUT THE KEY WORD IS ALMOST #ITS NOT WEDNESDAY YET #where i am its not #SO CLOSE but not quite #fun fact that alien stuffed animal is something i won from a claw machine second try and when i got it i kid you not i fell to my knees #because i was so shocked #i shouldnt have touched the floor though it was probably gross #i just noticed tome's hair in that picture is longer on one side than the other and its going to bug me forever #typing all of this is keeping me from reading it so i'm going to shut up for a minute and get to the new chapter

sometimes i remember that gojo wanted to tell geto “we’ll meet again, right?” just before he died but forced himself not to knowing it would have cursed him and then i start thinking about how kind and thoughtful gojo is as a character and how he hasn’t been able to lean on another human being since geto defected and then i want to . Scream

#like. there’s something almost helpless about that question. because gojo doesn’t *know* the answer…. he’s asking for reassurance #he wants to know if they’ll ever meet again even though deep down he knows the answer #and it’s so… bare? so vulnerable. #if he had voiced it that would’ve been the first time in TEN YEARS that gojo truly bared his heart to someone and asked for help #but he knew it would turn into a curse and so he gulped the words back down. :(( #gojo is such a sincerely kind and thoughtful character and it breaks my heart that sooo many people in the fandom can’t see that 😭 #he isn’t a saint and he definitely isn’t selfless but above all else his goal as a human being is to make sure no one ever feels alone. #that no one has their youth taken away from them….. that everyone gets a Choice in how to live their life :(((( it’s so important to him. #i just genuinely don’t understand ppl who insist that he’s morally gray ….. gojo is a consistently Good person and that never changes #he wants to have fun and laugh and he wants his students to enjoy their youth. he wants them to think he’s cool. #he’s the big brother slash father Ever and i love him to death #i got sidetracked this was supposed to be abt geto 😔😔 anyway the final scene between them will always be my Favorite ever #and the key to understanding both their characters and love for one another #ty for coming to my ted talk i’m feeling normal abt them today 😇😇 #ari noises ✩

When you backread through a fun conversation you had with someone for hours an angel gets its wings

#I was talking to my brother about Norman doors and I had fun in my UX class and he was telling me about demon cores and the trolley problem #in his class. AND I remembered to take my meds today so I can feel every cell in my body. i can feel the neurons rubbing together #and yesterday I infodumped about the specialists bullseye chart to crow and how it ties with witch hat atelier #WHICH I MANAGED TOGET THEM TK READ IM SO HAPPY. I MAKE SQUEALING GUINEA PIG NOISES EVERY TIME THEY TELL ME WHAT THEYVE READ SO FAR. AHH #i might not even be scratching the surface with witch hat there are so many themes i could not possibly fathom or go over my heasd #and thats what makes it so exciting there are so many spaces in between that you can fill with your thoughts and i. i #waves my hands around manically #for anyone interested in my insane ramblings. the bullseye chart is from are we all scientific experts now by harry collins #in my own words its basically saying everything we know about anything is a game of broken telephone #and it discusses how information gets lost in translation between experts and laymen including things that arent in control #one of the main points was how things that happen between experts are complicated including debates and findings #that you can only really understand thru research and experience in that field and cant be smoothly shared without it being reworded #and risking some of those key points. or even concepts that are hard to understand that cant be shared at all #like if you tried to tell me about how DNA works using words scientists are familiar with but i am NOT- i risk missing concepts that i need #to understand to know how it works on the level you understand. or i risk having it reworded and understanding it but not on that level #AND IT DOES TIE TO WITCH HAT THE WITCH AND NORMAL FOLK COMMUNITIES I PROMISE. ITS SO INTERESTING #anyway i spent hours reading back thru that conversation and i might as well admit it goes for almost every fun conversation i have #and it might be the 20mg of adderall in my body but i am in such a state of peace and love i have to verbalize it. ahh #yapping

no one gets graham payser like i do, he is so pathetic and ugly and everyone seems to think hes sooo hot and slays sooo hard and im over here wondering if we are looking at the same guy

#toontown #toontown corporate clash #ttcc #graham payser #graham ness payser #toontown pacesetter #fellas. i know graham tries so hard to be hot and slay #thats what makes him UNATTRACTIVE. dont you understand. #him trying so hard is PITIFUL if anything. saddening to watch. #i almost felt BAD for him watching his final cutscene. key word ALMOST #like hes good at music ig ill give him that. whatever #but hes not hot . hes not cute . hes SO UGLY TO MEEEE #flint is this ur man???? my condolences #graham trying so hard and failing and being pathetic and a sopping wet cat IS WHAT MAKES HIM FUNNY. #ITS WHAT MAKES HIS CHARACTER SO FUNNY AND AMUSING #watching him fail and be humbled is the best part of his character . anytime i see him try to slay in canon #i can count on the BIT to humble him . #in motm #in the tawney comic #in his battle. when he gets beaten by the toons #in his race against cathal #again and again graham fails and is humbled and its FUNNY and DESERVED. #the bit should always be the priority yall. #and like its not bad to draw him slaying or whatever lmao i do that too #but GENUINELY THINKING he is hot. gurl WHERE. the bar is ON THE FLOOR. #dave brubot is RIGHT THERE yall he slays so much harder #somebody lied to graham several times and told him #he was fly hot sexy and beautiful and he is nothing like that #he is nothing of the sort

For the beginners and champions of each sport (most specifically, Cole and Lucía, but it's open to all of them):

How well do you get along? Champions, have you given any advice to the beginners?

Cole: Me and Lucia? Oh yeah, we get along very well actually! Even though I’m not that good, she helps me practice a lot!

Lucia: Indeed! Practice is key, and I try to make him return harder shots by trying out different hitting techniques! Improvement is slow but… I’m sure he’ll get better while I do the Return Challenge with him!

(also gonna do for the others because it's a real interesting question XD also cool extra lore, coughs... all are under the cut since the post is kinda long ig)

Ryan: You’d be surprised that both me and Matt are on really good terms. Friends even, despite me sucking at both of his best sports.

Matt: I taught Ryan the rules for both Boxing and Swordplay, and let him practice with me in friendly matches. I trust him to be a really good referee, and in the meantime I get to teach him some of the best strategies for him to try. And most importantly: determination!

---

Miguel: Tommy? We don’t speak much, but I’m a big fan! I’m afraid I won’t be at his level in this sport, but perhaps while watching him and his team play our team might learn a trick or two…

Tommy: I guess I haven’t really approached Miguel much because I’m so focused on talking to Eva and Tyrone… However, if he needs advice, I’d say to not just work on the shooting, but the dribbling as well. Learn how to get close enough to the basket before the opponent snatches the ball, and you might get some easy hoops!

---

Naomi: Oh yeah, even though I’m not good in Cycling, I’m still good friends with Anna! We usually talk it out at lunch or something, she may be intimidating at first but she’s actually really nice!

Anna: Definitely! And my advice would simply be to go with the flow! I tend to like going on a nice bike ride with friends, so Naomi gets to join along when she can!

---

Hiroshi: In all honesty… none of us really want to interact much with Elisa and Sarah. I-I mean… look at them!

Shouta: We’re all a bit terrified of them, that’s for sure!

Sarah: I’ve told the players time and time again! Keep playing tennis and keep trying, that way you’ll get more confident! Ah… Elisa, any other advice you’d like to make?

Elisa: …………… keep practicing.

---

Elisa: Sakura? ………… she’s fine I guess…

Sakura: Oooh yes yes, I talked to Elisa a lot! I try to teach her different throws, batting skills, and running… Oh! But the best advice for her studious mind is to diversify her shots! But of course, all due in time, she needs to get the key components first! :3

#ask the miis #ask #mii #miis #game on #wii sports #wii sports resort #wii sports champions #thanks for the ask! #also yeah imagine my surprise finding out again that Elisa and Matt are technically beginners in other sports than their faves lmao #but almost everyone are friends! #ALMOST being the key word #and sorry it took a while as well #but i HAD to ilustrate those guys together

I had a vision

#mondo oowada #takaaki ishimaru #its not Mondo's fault #it's Kiyotaka's #side note: ever realize that if you ship ishimondo that eventually mondo will have to come to terms with the fact that... #...kiyotaka and takaaki look almost identical #almost being the key word: their jaws are different

I need to make a confession

I genuinely do not understand Buggy simps

Like I thought y'all were joking with the whole rooting for Buggy-thing but. No. People are actually seriously rooting for him. And I just don't get it.

Like. I can't tell if I'm missing something or if people are somehow completely misinterpreting his actual character. Like clearly it's meant to be one or the other and I can't tell which and I feel like I'm losing my mind because of it

'Cause the thing is that. Like. Until now, Buggy has been a pure gag character. He's no different from characters like Ceasar Clown and Spandam in that sense, he's just nowhere near as vile a human being as those other gag characters so he's marginally more lovable in what a pathetic fuck he is. But in the end, Buggy's just been there to be a punching bag (quite literally), because it's funny as hell to watch him eat shit And the reason it's funny IS because Buggy is a piece of shit. Again, not nearly as bad as Spamdam and co, but he's still a lying, cowardly, spineless douchebag who uses others for his own benefit and is willing to ditch anyone to save his own skin. Like Buggy was going to ditch his entire crew and flee by himself when the Shichibukai System was taken down and the Marines came for his head. He was going to leave his crew to die by themselves, without participating in the fight at all. Buggy was the one telling them to do the hard lifting while he'd escape, while the crew had no idea their beloved Chairman was going to abandon them. Literally the only reason Buggy failed to do that was because he was too slow and Crocodile got there before he managed to skedaddle.

He is essentially Usopp if Usopp wasn't willing to get beaten to death to protect his friends and their honor. Even fucking Luffy thinks Buggy is a pathetic idiot, and Luffy is the biggest indicator in the whole series on how to tell whether or not the readers should like a character or not. Not to mention, all the in-universe Buggy simps have been portrayed as (precious) idiots who can't see through Buggy's bullshit. Like every step of the story Oda has been trying to tell us that Buggy is an absolute loser.

So when people are like "Mihawk and Crocodile are going to see Buggy's ambition and become full Buggy supporters themselves!" I just

Are we reading the same comic???? HELLO????

Like I'll give you this, it would be objectively the funniest fucking outcome imaginable, which would be on-brand for Buggy and his trend of falling upwards.

But between Mihawk respecting people who are willing to abandon their honor to protect someone dear to them, and Crocodile's deep trust issues (possibly rooted in being betrayed in the past), I can not fucking fathom the two ever genuinely siding with Buggy the "I will leave you to die by yourself to save myself" Clown. Not when the two (and most other characters, including fucking Galdino and Daz) have been able to judge Buggy's character accurately (like how Crocodile was like "I thought you'd have ran away by now" when he arrived at Emptee Bluffs, and Buggy was like "yeah no shit")

Not unless Buggy grows enough of a spine that he'd be willing to sacrifice himself for someone (or at least get hurt on someone else's behalf to protect them), more specifically Mihawk and Crocodile. And let's be real, right now, Buggy probably wants nothing more than to run away from the two before they do actually kill him.

I just

Buggy simps. I do not understand you. I don't understand how you've reached your reading of the character.

#Moon posting #OP Meta #OP Spoilers #Not tagging this with the clown because I'm not actually @'ing The Buggy Fandom rn I'm just. Speaking out loud #For the record 9/10 times when I'm writing about Crocodile I'm fully aware my readings are more than likely completely delulu #Like I'm writing about him under the assumption that a very specific fan theory could be canon and *how that would affect his character* #Remove that fan theory and force me to speculate about Croc and I'll probably treat him quite fucking differently #Like I understand not being immune to a pathetic little meow meow but. I don't understand you Buggy Simps #You are a mystery to me #Also for the record yes Buggy's mutiny has been like the closest thing Buggy has done to like prove himself as worth anything #Like it's almost his version of Usopp's ''Don't make fun of my friend'' when getting beaten to death by Mr 4+Miss Merry Crimbus #Key word being almost. He still hasn't proven to me that he wouldn't abandon everyone to save his own skin like a coward #And that's what makes him different from like Nami Usopp and Chopper. They may be cowards but not like that. They have spines.

[maggi-cube]

No, it’s literally bc people cant read.

#like if I’m being ‘defensive’ over a character #it’s not bc you guys are reading so much as it’s you guys are making shit up that happens to have key words in common with the text #like every day I come on here and I see someone else talking about a series that has had its characters of color wildly misinterpreted #or had its female characters turned into the mom or some other reductive category centered around the white male characters #Who intern have just happened to have a completely new personalities constructed for them #*in turn #like it’s the frustration of having a piece of media with its clear themes and messaging be almost comical he misunderstood #sorry that you guys can you read and I reducing it to a question about feelings!

Perry’s going to have the worst time ever if Jay ever interns or works for the Daily Planet because after years of chaos, Lois calmed down by a fraction and he’s like “finally, i don’t need to wonder if the next call is about my reporter stuck in a war zone”. Enter Jay, who’s literally the editor for The Truth(basically Perry’s position), suddenly working as a regular reporter who he can’t even say “don’t do that it’s stupid” to because he’s untouchable. He’s stubborn, never listens and keeps butting heads with him(but he has a point 99% of the time which is even more infuriating). Worse, is this new kid LOVES Lois. Will kill for her.

So now LOIS is being made worse because she has a mentee who she can say “hey can you break into [insert terribly dangerous awful place of death and doom] for this report i’m doing?” and Jay will go “absolutely yes ma’am” and Lois will fucking follow him because Perry said “do not get the guy killed” and her solution was “got it, i will follow him into the landmine with my gun, notepad and pen, see ya”.

Daily Planet are going to be getting some juicy, juicy stories and ending horrible people but Lois is laughing maniacally with a giant space gun and Jay is throwing confetti and fire around to encourage her while punching everyone who gets in her way.

Thinking of Roy as an ominous and malevolent presence but not a cartoonishly evil one... like he's a producer with a Child Star son he's trying so hard to set up for simultaneous success while also keeping him ignorant enough that he can play a "child" on TV as long as possible so he doesnt grow up and grow independent.

He hates Duck's guts and fires him but will take his input and all his ideas (feeding Yellow canned Duck both the literal visual sense but also Duck's input in the show's writing is still there just uncredited).

He sees a kindred spirit in Red so seeks him out when the show jumps the shark and says "hey. We made a great team, didn't we? Come back on the show, I can give you a voice"

#i have. so many thoughts about the webseries. #like the way the songs get progressively 'worse' and sound like theyre being made up on the spot #and one of the hosts/teachers actually looks and sounds absolutely hammered #the way the last half of DHMIS 6 is almost like when a long running sitcom brings back every single minor character #but its not narratively satisfying (in terms of the show in the show) because of the blatant emptiness on screen #because theres only one main lead left and he doesn't even want to be there #dhmis #chatter #like i feel like with roy theres that one interview where most of his fanon characterization comes from and is exaggerated to a point where #a lot of comments on particularly is parenting of yellow is filled in for the sake of roy looking cartoonishly awful and abusive #and having yellow be ''''rescued'''' by red and duck #and like i dont think he thinks hes doing the right thing and thus should be absolved of all the shit hes implied to have put his kid thru #but thats the key word there. implied. so much is added to the yellow and roy dynamic where it winds up feeling kinda torture fetishy? #if that makes sense. like idk what the right word is but you get me #its like what he has canonically said and done isnt ''extreme'' enough for yellow to be (rightfully) traumatized #by being in a nightmarish simulation forcibly showing him horrific visuals and in some cases physically mutilating him

There's nothing I wouldn't do for fanfic research. For example I almost fucked a chef last night

#dear diary #key word being almost - had to back out coz he was like super boring and also was playing ABSOLUTELY UNHINGED tunes in his car #like donk remixes of beyonce halo turned up full vol #had to confiscate the aux #so i just made him take me maccies drive thru instead and got strawberry lemonade #cause all your dreams are made of strawberry lemonade (from maccies) #also he let me smoke in his nice audi #anyway weird blip. back to the depths from whence i came wbu

[gumiworth]

why r there people who ship odonaru or mitsumei or other ships with weird circumstances. its so weird,, like stop that…

#sorry Im just. mad #theres a lot of proship in more niche parts of this fandom and I HATE IT #like I get that you enjoy magshoe or other ships with iffy age gaps but #DATING YOUR SISTERS FATHER/YOUR BOSS?? #YOUR ADOPTED SISTER THAT YOUVE KNOWN SINCE YOU WERE 9???? #technically yes. the key word is adopted. #but thats not any different yk… #plus there’s a big imbalance between the pair thats always a pattern with proshippers #like stop that shit #you know damn well its not always about them being adults #‘theyre 2 consenting adults!’ you know damn well you would NOT willingly date someone you knew as a kid/had some power over you.. #idc if theyre both consenting. one might be barely 18 and the other is almost 30 or 30+ #wrong as fuck for that #stop normalizing that weird shit #you do not know what the fuck youre talking about #ace attorney #sometimes I hate this fandom
