Something i don't really agree or get is fandom perspective of shadow being lame,cringe and bastard meow meow cus that's not really it either(surviving and trying to cope with the horrors? The coolest thing), more like a modern distorted loved notion of people, yeah is funny but also projected and kinda westernized(the inaccurated dub versions and dialogue), leaning away from the original cultural backgrourd that get's sleep on and puts a more nuanced perception of the games. Idk where im going with this but i don't get people popular perspectives idk sorry im a killjoy i just love the fucked up aspect of this silly franchise and it's characters(i wish it could get that deep again).
theres a lot of things that indicate shadow is a cringe little bastard from jp to eng, it’s like his whole. Thing. the fanon flanderization of shadow is crazy but the part where he’s a bastard is pretty blatant in canon
like, he’s genuinely cool and stuff, he has a lot of fantastic moments (if the world chooses to become my enemy i will fight as i always have, the entire somewhat ridiculous yet awesome finale of shadow the hedgehog, sa2’s ending literally cemented his popularity so hard he came back to life in heroes because people thought he was fucking awesome and compelling), but a big appeal is the fact that he’s also still a silly guy in a series full of whacky silly guys
the eng and jp dubs have their differences in tone in a lot of ways, and eng is not incredibly accurate bc of it, but shadow even in jp is still like. a loser (affectionate)—he’s constantly talking about how much better he is, he insists on showing his dominance over sonic (and others, but especially sonic) even when it doesnt fucking matter ala tsr, he constantly FULLY believes he is the most correct person in any and all situations, and that his actions are always the best way to go about it even if it’s reckless or sometimes unnecessary (the mow things in my way down solution)
he’s so earnest in everything he does, in his own special cringe little way, where he’ll say factually correct statements in a blunt manner, but also not quite … ? he’s very honest. he’s incredibly straightforward. every single comment he says, no matter how fucking absurd or edgy or funny, he truly means it. thats his APPEAL he says shit like “ive hit the ultimate jackpot!” and “this is like taking candy from a baby, which is fine by me!” and somehow also “no one else should experience the things ive gone through” and thats all FANTASTIC
i like this twitter thread and a lot of jib’s threads on shadow, bc they know a lot more about the jp side of things, but tldr: shadow is my funny little guy. my stupid little pogchamp. my cringe little bastard boy who is the coolest and also the lamest motherfucker ive ever witness. i’m going to dribble him like a basketball

Thoughts on Marucho's partner Bakugan throughout the show? Like, Preyas, Elfin, etc
preyas
the OG!!!! so goofy and silly but also surprisingly wise. i'll never forget those important moments he had with marucho where he told him he admired marucho's kindness and how he also helped marucho accept his past self. their bond is so great and it pains me that they were torn apart, that they never made the best takoyaki in the world!!!! 11/10 best partner for marucho.
elfin
who needs sailor moon when you have elfin!!! i lover her design and her funny antics sm very kawaii desu ヾ(≧ ▽ ≦)ゝ i will have to say tho. . .i don't like her dynamic with preyas because whenever they're together they either argue or elfin gets reduced to a weakling that preyas has to save. maybe the eng dub did something right by cutting their screen time lol. but elfin by herself is pretty dope!!!
akwimos
another aquos funny man with a kansai dialect, something that has become the recipe for which marucho's partner bakugan are made by lol but i still like him! he has a cool design and a couple of moments where he gets deep. being the hopeless maruren shipper that i am, how will i ever forget when he tried to get linehalt to stop fighting him so marucho and ren wouldn't have to suffer. akwimos for new ship captain i feel like akwimos doesn't get enough love as marucho's partner and that needs to change frfr.
tristar
tristar is okay. another aquos funny man with a kansai dialect lmao how long until that shtick gets old (spoiler: ms2) im sorry but his design is really fuckin boring. something i do appreciate is how he's the only solid partner bakugan this season for pulling marucho back when he was about to leave the brawlers. drago and taylean were just sorta going along with whatever dan and shun were doing but tristar was the only one who put his foot down and said his piece to marucho, eventually convincing him to keep doing what he loved. tristar also sorta tricked everyone into thinking he was dead for a minute or two which was????? kinda funny tbh lmao.
radizen
he's also okay. seems like the show caught onto how the kansai dialect thing was overdone so they had him speak in keigo (formal) like marucho lolol. the combination of formal language + goofy behavior is kinda funny but overall there's nothing really exciting about him. him arguing with roxtor all the time can get old pretty quick lol. i did, however, like how when radizen became depressed about not being able to use the same moves as everyone else (jumping attack and combination), marucho took him to his family's marine plant to explain to radizen the power and beauty of his attribute. i thought that was pretty neat 😊

Trigun Stampede episode 7 liveblog
Man I said this two-parter is really focused on Wolfwood, but this episode has his name as the title
Oh I see the destination is an additional threat to him. Huh. I wonder what the purpose of that is? Like just to mess with him, or to make the journey seem appropriately menaced, or what?
I didn't notice before, but it is incredibly funny that the letters front and center are B and L
I feel like half of Wolfwood's gun is like ammo storage lmao, he goes through that fast
Oh actual emoting from Livio! Not looking particularly cognizant, but it's something.
Oh there's Meryl and Roberto! Would not have figured that's how they managed to tag along, but if it works it works haha
The boing noises as the desert raiders are thrown around are fantastic
Vash is wielding his gun, backhand, like a blunt weapon. Possibly as a gauntlet idk. Still. Makes sense for him, but not something I've ever seen before lol
Mmmmhmm and now the "monsters" and "not human" assertions are being foiled.
Between Livio and Rollo, seems like they kinda get stuck on a single sentiment?
"It would have been better without you around" ...ah. I did not expect that and don't know how to respond to it.
Wow, uh. I mean we knew Vash was incredibly accurate at aiming before, but to redirect someone else's gun to land a clean shot (particularly one that has as much heft as Wolfwood's) is rather uncanny.
that method of getting another Worm actually made me gag ugh.
wait hold up what was happening with Livio's reflection. I don't think I recognize it?
Eef. Thought that was how it'd end, but didn't expect him to shoot and fall over the side. (I suppose it's possible that the 'if there isn't a body, they're probably not dead' rule applies here though)
"I just wanted to spread the good word. That's all." You know I think this does in fact hold true to the, uh. Real world weight? That this sort of phrase carries.
Okay this is the first we've heard of a topic that Wolfwood apparently has disagreements with the Eye of Michael over. ...Actually that was on an assumption that it's a decision on an action, not a religious thing. It's Wolfwood's initial verbal disagreement on religion, isn't it.
Switched to Eng dub for a second 'cause I wasn't sure who said the next couple lines, but yeah I think it's clearer that it's about Wolfwood's denial.
Wait speaking of that's also a Christian term too right. Like Judas denies Jesus or something? I know the term is used in relation to those two in particular but I don't actually know the specifics. It's like "one of you will deny me" or "one of you will betray me" and I don't remember which.
Not sure if that really matters in this case, though, since I don't think Bluesummers quite maps to Jesus lol. Anyways.
Okay yeah "Punisher" is definitely being used in relation to Wolfwood himself. Noted.
Lmao the "Hi!~" being in English really sold it
Ooh, worldbuilding. Spacefaring age, okay.
Wait if they're running around to all the controls, where are the people originally driving the ship?
Yay, character exploration and development from Meryl! (and Roberto to a lesser extent)
Oh wait the kid that fell in the first town is alive?? I guess I saw him moving a bit at the end there, but it was a long fall and I thought maybe it was his mom's movements while carrying him.
:0 Vash's arm fractured! Frankly I didn't know it could do that. That's not good.
Oh lmao it's the disproportionate response "Wolfwood..." that kept being memed on.
Oh NOW the title comes up!
Actually wait I saw something on this a while ago, too. They were talking about he asserts he's "the Punisher," then "Nicholas the Punisher," and then the framing basically hits him with a "no :)" That's so funny. Also kind of tragic. But still funny.
Oh hey this is the first time we've seen Vash in this sort of situation since he was a 'plant technician' in the first episode.
it can move in there!?
oh that looks really painful
it's humanoid already!?
maybe I leaned too far into the "oh it's kind of egg shaped" assumption lol
Oop, yep, I guess Livio's not dead. Or uh. Might be dead but isn't out of the picture?
Alright yeah Vash looks pretty out of it.
...was that him hitting the ground? oof.
End Notes:
Again not really much to say here! We got some character details, some worldbuilding details, lots of character development & solidification of relationships, and now some immediate threads to be followed up on (Vash's arm and the Plant reveal thing). Feeling much more invested than when I started the series and interested in seeing how this conversation goes!
I will say. The plant did not look uh. very intimidating. kind of reminds me of the... neopets fairies? I don't think that's right, but like some similar franchise kind of had similar vibes, shape-wise.
...is this the first time the Plant stuff got fully revealed in the show? I went in knowing and haven't been keeping track. I know it was established that Vash is a) non-human b) fell from a spaceship onto the planet and c) had 'relatives' in pods on said spaceship. Not to mention his twin also having pretty obvious markings. But I'm curious about the reasons for the pacing of these reveals, since we got so much of Wolfwood's backstory just last episode.

aghh fr fr I've only been able to find the eng dub of violetta since d+ added it and I don't need to hear that again 😭😭 it was funny like twice but I need the real deal lmao
Oml it is so crazy that there are violetta blogs. It's so cool seeing people talk about dcla in general because I LOVED it in grade & middle school but I didn't know anyone else until now who watched the shows, I live in the US and just happened to get Violetta on Netflix when Season 2 was airing
I'm glad there are other people. who know the insanity. because every day I must live with violetta knowledge in my head and it's so much LMAO
Violetta is this thing you thought you got over, but then it just crawls back to you. Very few people can enjoy the show normally, because once you rewatch those clips, you want more, and more... it's a drug.
Also, just around 3 years ago I swear I had no one to talk about Violetta with. Then suddenly people just popped up on tumblr, and as they popped up, I got more excited to talk about it!
2021 was such a fun year, because we went from 5 fics of Violetta on ao3 to 50! And now, just see how many fics there are!
Ok, maybe I got off topic, but yeah. Violetta is a show that was popular, yet it seems like all the fans were scattered around and didn't always directly know each other lol

analysis on flips? also trans flips so real
I did this to myself. I have to pay the consequences.
Flipz is the female character for Wild Grinders, who’s actually a skater. We have no other girls. We are going to talk about her because she LITERALLY has no competition.
Let’s begin with her origins. She was created in between Goggles and Stubford. It’s a time where Tracy was done creating Goggles for that current toy wave, but she was created before the TV series made Stubford at last minute for the antagonistic character. The creation behind Flipz was definitely planned, but they didn’t put a lot of intention into it (if that makes sense). Many people will assume that she was created to be a love interest for Lil’ Rob, but that’s not actually the truth. In Rob Dyrdek’s Fantasy Factory and Ridiculousness, he had Chanel West Coast as the receptionist and occasional co-host(?). She appeared in the episodes often and Dyrdek wanted thought it would be neat to have her own character be a part of the Wild Grinders world. (Tracy has his self-insert too, don’t worry, as ‘Captain Grindstar’). There were other members from the MTV series as well, but they decided to use the Lil’ Rob formula on Chanel West Coast (aka just make a younger version of herself).
In webisode 2, Tracy explained that Dyrdek asked if she wanted to become a Wild Grinder and Chanel was like “Hell yea” at the idea. She wanted to do voice acting for her. And here’s the thing, she was given voice lines that were ‘oof’ sound effects. No flirting lines, no teasing lines. She was told to say ‘oof’ and ‘ow’ and ‘ack’. And her character is to be very enthusiastic. Rob Dyrdek never formed any kind of crush @ Chanel and the platonic dynamic between Flipz and Lil’ Rob was kept.
Not only was her personality kept tame, but Flipz’s design itself. It’s a funny banter between Tracy and Chanel during the webisode. Basically, she asked him why Flipz didn’t have boobs and Tracy was like “she’s twelve??” Then Chanel said she had boobs at that age, but Tracy said that he didn’t have boobs at that age either. It’s definitely well-intentioned on Tracy’s side, but I still have the feeling he’s just not good at gorl design.
But yeah, Flipz was carefully planned out as a character. Hell, she even had vital moments in the TV series that built her character. However the real downfall of her character would always due to her gender. Western audiences will always do unusual things for female characters in a boy-protagonist cartoon. Even for anime dubs too. (In the eng dub of Sakura Cardcaptor, Sakura’s entire personality became tomboyish in order for the anime to be feasible enough for boys to watch too). But it’s 2012 for Flipz. It really just depends on the decision of the director/writer for what they want to portray in their female characters. Honestly, we are old enough to admit that the way that most men write female characters will leave a bad taste in our mouth.
If anything, Flipz didn’t get the worst of it. Th treatment that she received was that Lil’ Rob would always have main-character’s-undefeatable-skills to beat her at skating. And this was the main thing Flipz had to deal with.
It kinda builds her character in a way. I like the idea of Flipz being a rival to Lil’ Rob. But she’s not mean about it or harasses him. She just wants to compete against Lil’ Rob at skating. Nothing else. And this can reach out to other male characters too. She wants to be treated with the same respect that they have and not be pushed into a feminine category (aka it’s like the trend of ‘girl math’ that’s been floating around in 2023). To Flipz, all skating is skating. But she thinks that girls need to have that boost of representation that they don’t often get in sports. And honestly, that’s really neat of her (if only the writers could have written it a better).
In season 1 of Wild Grinders, she was clearly intended to be written a tomboy. She doesn’t know what unicorns are and she loves to play basketball. Her main motif is music because Chanel West Coast is rapper. But a lot of her outside interests involve sports like skateboarding and basketball. And she’s good at it, but she understands that her strengths will be overshadowed by men doing the same exact thing. There’s a reason why she gets pissed at Xavier when he made fun of the idea that ‘girl skaters’ exists. And proceeded to kick his ass.
One of things that kinda weaken her character is that the writers didn’t know what to do for her. They just made her a support and not the rival. And then they try to make Emo Crys and Spitball develop semi-crush on her? Like, you have a perfectly good base for a female character and all you do is make her a lukewarm companion? Get out of my house.
The Flipz that I know is girl who can go head-to-head @ Lil’ Rob. The people she admires are usually the sporty type and that’s why she’s most drawn to Lil’ Rob. My reason for saying that is because the only time Flipz goes gaga is over Sir Percival, a famous European football player. Could Flipz develop a crush on Lil’ Rob as well? Possibly, but if they’re still rivals at the end of the day and want to have fun together. (Let me tell you, my most hated trope is tomboys softening when in love). Nah, Flipz would bang on Lil’ Rob’s window at 2 in the morning to play a game of S.K.A.T.E. and get tacos. Aside from the discussions of romance, Flipz is a character who wants to boost the voices of girls who skate and do sports. But there’s such a lack of female characters who skate in the TV series, that she really has nothing to do.

Thanks again to those who let me use their art in the picture! It was fun to make and I found lots of great takes on these characters in all kinds of unique art styles!

Katsugeki’s Dub is... (AKA, Why I Despise English Dubs In General) // Literally No One Asked
So, I was trying to work through the last bits of my classwork when the Katsugeki dub trailer popped into my recc feed again, and out of sheer “eh sure I’m bored” I watched it. I knew I was going to dislike it, but this line of dialogue left me McSh00keth:
“What’s wrong, Kunihiro? You wiped out already?“ “No way! I can do this all night!“ “Excellent, kid.“
I’m sorry. Play that again, one more time?
“Excellent, kid.“
K I D. At first, I thought “haha, very funny Izuminokami, but you’re younger than Horikawa. Respect your elders!“ and then I went into my friend’s DMs and proceeded to harass her with 9238759823745923745 messages explaining exactly why I dislike English dubs except for three in particular (Fire Emblem Awakening, Fire Emblem Echoes, and Hetalia. However, this is a story for another time). Sorry about that, lol.
But then, I realised. “Kid”... almost murders the dynamic, based on one tiny piece of dialogue. Granted, I haven’t watched anything else of the dub, so I might be wrong about how the ENG dub characterizes the two, but there was something about “KID” that really rubbed by the wrong way.
So, here are my two cents on the ENG dub and why it probably murders the character dynamic:
We know that in this workplace setting, Izuminokami's more experienced, having been summoned before Horikawa and also this is his first mission. But in the JPN dub, he and Horikawa treat each other like equals (or so it sounds that way, anyways) and I must stress this because "kid" makes it look like Izuminokami's the older one and he might not value or respect Horikawa because "kid" is often a diminutive of sorts.
Because Izuminokami is actually the younger one, he's more likely to be brash and have the emotional maturity of a five year old. Or, more accurately in most depictions of him in fanon, canon, and also some anthologies, he’s a rowdy teenager who can be mature and wise- oh wait, that’s almost like most sensible teenagers nowadays. Huh.
Well, regardless, I see this as a major problem. Yes, Horikawa does end up falling into the trap of altering history like Yamatonokami does in Hanamaru. But he's more open about "I'm upset about this. I can tell and I know you're upset about this. I'm doing this for you to ease that guilt for you". Izuminokami just shoves his feelings aside which works well enough for the mission, but comes at a detriment for his own and Horikawa’s emotional wellbeing.
His refusal of acknowledging how he really feels and being open about it (much like a teenager would) is what spurs on Horikawa’s pulling a Yamatonokami. While Horikawa’s actions might be considered childish at first glance, it’s really just as much Izuminokami’s childish/teenager-ish (lol) miscommunication.
This is where the dub fails. By having Izuminokami say “kid”, it not only starts to murder how the characters actually interact in canon (in game and in other JPN portrayals). It immediately puts Izuminokami into the wrong category in the audience’s mind: older than his partner = more mature. Yes, he’s “older” in a workplace sense. Yes, he’s perceptive. Yes, he can be mature. But he still acts more like a teenager in most, if not all depictions of him in other works and this comes back to bite him at the end of the series.
I think, if I heard him call Horikawa “kid” without any foreknowledge of how they both act in their JPN depictions, he’d be old enough to at least say “yeah, I have guilt over not being there by Hijikata’s side, but we aren’t allowed to do anything about it. I’m sorry, but that’s not our mission here” at the end of episode 10. Even a hamfisted remark would be appropriate.
But that’s not what he does. He says “it would only be painful to see Hijikata again” and “just complete the mission”, much like a teenage deflection might sound.
I don’t like the ENG dub. Without even watching a few episodes, I can tell that things have gotten lost in translation more so that a sub would. The Katsugeki dub doesn’t simply assassinate the dynamic between the two characters. It murders it in broad daylight.

casting a paul on barry!
Tumblr media
oh sweet arceus I LOVE THIS EPISODE
I LOVE BARRY AND HIS ENTHUSIASM. I LOVE THAT DAWN IS ALL “oh Paul’s just gonna call you pathetic and not take you seriously” and then Paul doesn’t do anything like that and is actually pretty encouraging the whole time?? whaat :D
I LOVE THIS
Tumblr media Tumblr media
>:D (btw how do you make gifs lol)
Tumblr media
*paul says he’s looking forward to the battle*
Tumblr media
“he never tells me that”
and he stays like that. He looks in that direction until the scene ends
I love that Team Rocket isn’t annoying. If anything they were selling in this episode were real I would buy it in a heartbeat. The marketing strategy worked on me and it’s not even REAL fff
Tumblr media
One thing I don’t love though: Paul’s Usaring should have fainted. What with the Spikes
Tumblr media
And the burn
Tumblr media
And the TYPE DISADVANTAGE
Tumblr media
AND using Hammer Arm a bunch of times, so it should have been slow too?? What, did Paul train it in HP or something?? Spikes and burn take effect after each turn for gods sake xD I do like that he returned it though. But…what the heck.
Tumblr media
“haha nice try”
Barry: I raised Himonlee’s Speed through lots and lots of hard training!
Tumblr media
“Is that so?” and then he does this. Literally blink and you’ll miss it
Tumblr media
NOOOOO boo
That’s it though; that’s my one and only gripe with this episode. Everything else I love!! Like the part when Empoleon smacks back Focus Blast and Paul’s like
Tumblr media
“but HOW?!” also hey wait a minute Ursaring STILL doesn’t faint. Lol  
And of course, I love the ending. Here’s a link; I’m tired of screenshots 
And it’s gonna get better! Conway is up next! (fun fact: they guy who voices Conway in the eng dub also voices Nando. That’s…that’s just funny :D)

Misc thoughts of rambling development for my new yokai watch ocs family of hugs and sadness (blythe the Dimmy and amber the Gorgeous Ambassador)
* Amber was totally still Gorgeous Ambassador at heart even back when he was human. I feel like he probably dressed very plain and was very self concious for a long time, as well as also being poor as dirt so it wasnt really easy to be super fashion time. Perhaps the only way he was really able to be remotely flambouyant or pretty was just having a long ponytail that he was very proud of. It would have been easier to maintain a shorter hairstyle when you're struggling to even find somethibg to eat each day let alone a bath, but it just helped him hold on to a tiny bit of confidence. Even when he reincarnated as Gorgeous Ambassador he was still unconfident for a long time and it took all these centuries to fully embrace The Power Of Gorgeous. He was probably really shocked when he got his medal registered and heard his new yokai name, like uhh excuse me "must beautiful man who spreads beauty through the world with his smile" are you sure there hasnt been a mixup??? And nowadays he's become so happy with himself that he maybe dresses a little bit gaudy sometimes, but if you saw how he used to feel then you'd absolutely be cheering for him!
* he was probably worried that Blythe wouldn't recognise him when he finally managed to reunite with them, but i think the lil shadow ghost instantly knew it was their brother and ran straight into the biggest hug ever. "Im worried they'll think im all cringe and gaudy" NO UR LIL SIB IS IN AWE OF YOUR FASHION POWER AND HAPPY FOR YOUR CONFIDENCE
* I also think Amber would absolutely be proud of how much confidence Blythe has gained through travelling with the protagonist and co. Like "aaa the last time i saw you you were so tiny and shy!" "Yes, now i'm tall and shy!" "NUUUU STOP PUTTING YOURSELF DOWN"
* basically they are absolutely Shyness Fam, and Amber just approaches his anxieties differently with over-the-top fake boasting about his greatness instead of being honest about how bad he feels. So thats why itd be so heartwarming to see him genuinely making progress and genuinely seeing good parts of himself. ALL THANKS TO THE INTERNATIONAL GORGEOUSNESS ASSOCIATION OF THE AFTERLIFE, YES *cheesy makeover ads fly by in the background*
* Dimmy's fave food is rice balls not just cos ninja monster = rice balls, but cos for Blythe specifically it brings back happy memories of backstory ninja Amber in ye olden days packing lunches of love for his tiny friend. He was always broke in between finding bountys to hunt, so he was never able to cook anything too fancy, but those simple meals became associated with childhood in Blythe's heart. All the times this big strong human swordsman would have a moment of gentleness and offer his last bit of food to a useless little yokai like them. ("No!! You're a valued part of the team!! And growing children need this more than i do!! Besides, i'm so tough i don't need to eat." *stands up for a minute and blacks out*)
* Since this backstory took place before thee yokai watch was invented, you cant technically say Amber was Blythe's previous watchholder but like.. He totally was? Same formula of being a human you partner with and then go around fighting/befriending other yokai. I like to think that maybe before yokai medals became the latest trend and they set up the whole official regulated medal registration process, yokai would still give their human friends some sort of token of their friendship but it was just less organised. Like imbuing their soul energy into all sorts of shit like This Leaf I Found or One Shoe. Which could be used in the same way to summon them but obv was less conveinient, haha! I'm thinking maybe Blythe's bond object was just a neat rock, cos they were so young and didnt really own anything else to gift to this human. Like all they had was the coal from the hearth in the house they used to haunt, but thatd be too crumbly so they dug through to find the sturdiest and prettiest rock and Amber was like straigjt up crying from how touched this whole thing made him. I WILL TREASURE THIS PEBBLE MY TINY MONSTER CHILD...
* oh but just to rub salt in the wound i think he couldnt find it again when he woke up floating over his own burned corpse in the wreckage of his final fateful battle. There uhh..wasnt much of himself left, let alone anything he was holding. Itd kinda have to be that way cos if it worked like a yokai medal itd mean Amber could have instantly reunited with his friend and cut out all of these years of sad backstory, alas
* ok but imagine the cute and sweet emotionalness of then being able to swap medals when they see each other again, and have an actual magical guarantee of never losing their family ever again.
* I feel like Amber only initially agreed to join the Gorgeous Association because he wanted to get a job in the yokai world and save up to buy a decent house and decent level of income so that there would be a hapoy home waiting for his child whenever he finally found them. He didnt really believe that he had the potential to be a fashion icon, he just went along with it as an employment opportunity in his weird new ghost life. But OH NO, accidental self confidence!! (We are all very proud of him)
* oh and the Gorgeous Association doesnt work 100% identical to the anime version, i just like the anime's general concept. I feel like Gorgeous Ambassador is indeed a yokai species and not just a title, its less 'you were chosen by random lottery' and more 'you were chosen by destiny'...? Shy people who have potential to be fashion icons just tend to end up becoming the shy-people-with-potential-to-become-fashion-icons yokai, aka this. And the Gorgeous Association takes responsibility for finding all new Gorgeouses and training them to use their new powers instead of just staying in their shyness. Its more of a self help club? Oh and also the membership is full of other types of fashion yokai too, its not just Gorgeous Ambassadors. Just its only Gorgeous Ambassadors that get visited by the president as soon as they die and given a special invitation to join. So basically interpreting Gorgeous Ambassador as more 'this yokai is named that cos its powers are about encouraging people to be more confident aka introducing them to the world of fashion'. And less the idea that all Gorgeous Ambassadors used to be a different type of yokai and you can only become one by being picked by the club lottery. And also that its just a costume with no actual powers?? That was funny in the anime but i prefer if they actually could inspirit people and make them more confident and stuff.
* I FEEL LIKE IM EXPLAINING THIS BADLY, SORRY! Ok so uhh like yknow some clubs are all exclusive entry "you are not this thing til you join"? Like you cant be a country club member til you join the country club, and the sense of comeraderie there is just all being rich enough to pay for membership rather than having anything in common. But then there's stuff like lgbt groups or mental health support groups where youre all already the same thing and thats WHY you join the club. Anime version had Gorgeous Association be a country club and Gorgeous Ambassador be just a membership name rather than a real yokai form. Which, again, was really funny but i feel like it only works in a more gag focused series like the anime. Here i'm interpreting it that you can just be born in the species Gorgeous Ambassador, same as any other yokai like jibanyan or whatever, and it actually does have its own special powers and stuff. And its just that the Gorgeous Association sends out invites to any newborn yokai that have fashion related powers. So not all Gorgeous Ambassadors actually join the Gorgeous Association. Oh and Kageusuo is the actual yokai species name for those unaffiliated ones. The anime seemed to say that kageusuo was an unrelated new yokai that isnt in the games, that was just invented to have a form that Gorgeous Ambassador had before he became Gorgeous Ambassador. But i have Other Ideas
* i'll make it a new bullet point cos im getting all disorganized now aaaa
* ok so Kageusuo (or my fanmade eng dub name Shamshade) is Gorgeous Ambassador. Same thing. Same species. Kageusuo is a yokai personifying the idea of a fashionable beautiful person who never reached their potential in life due to social anxiety/bullying. Like an 'ugly duckling' story. Their default form is this shadowy looking depressed dude because their power is that they drain shadows from people, vampire style. This makes you 'less overshadowed", so you become more confident and people notice your unique style! But kageusuo cant use its powers on itself, so a lot of them stay in this shy form forever and just continue repeating the same overshadowed life they have as a human. The fabulous form that Gorgeous Ambassador has in the games is just simply the same yokai dressing differently- a kageusuo that managed to conquer its anxieties from its past life and take steps to embrace its true self! But theyre not actually any different in terms of powers, theyre still shadow vampires and their power to make people fabulous is just them eating your shadow. It was something they could already do before they became fabulous themself, now theyre just confident enough to match their powers, yknow? And also unrelatedly there's a club called Gorgeous Association that this particular kageusuo joined, which personally helped him in his journey of self confidence so he goes by the nickname Gorgeous Ambassador to advertise it. (Which is even more nicknamed into Amber cos he thinks it sounds cute)
* WHY ARE MY HEADCANONS SO OVERCOMPLICATED AAAaa
* anyway just imagine a vampire movie but its a supermodel lurching out of the shadows groaning "I VANT TO SUCK YOUR ANXIETY" and then when he bites you you become more confident. This is a Good Concept so i will somehow find a way to use it, dammit!! *b movie music* "OH NO THE MONSTER GOT TERRY" *terry suddenly wearing applebottom jeans*
* also imagine all of that but also the dude is a weird samurai being all "wow the wonders of the future" about thos applebottom jeans
* why do all my headcanons start as angst and end up as nonsense like this

I think a lot about Gladio was for sure lost throughout the dubbing. My first playthrough was in Japanese (although the subs were definitely for the eng dub) and I saw him as the big bro who could easily approach anyone, not just women. I didn't really see the whole playboy persona in him like everyone else until I played the second time in English. Your Gladio art truly exhibits how he's meant to be portrayed - a very attractive and prideful teddy bear. It's so refreshing.
Bruh! I played with the Japanese dub and Spanish subs. The Spanish subs are kinda weird, because they don’t always correspond with the English dub/sub which is… good? Cos maybe there’s more fidelity with the Japanese?¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (but they probably do their own shit at times). Honestly Gladio is fkn funny in Spanish, I freaking love him. Gladio and Iris’ confident cheerfulness was obliterated in the English dub, fuck that. The only one who got past the “Translation Filter” intact was Ardyn, everyone else died.        
I’m really glad you’re enjoying my Gladio drawings!! Thank you for the kind words~! *sniff* ;v;b

THE NARUTO SURVEY!
(I found this on FFN.)
1. Who are your favorite Naruto characters?
Kakashi, Sasuke, Naruto, Tsunade, and Mei.
2. What are your favorite pairings?
Sasunaru/Narusasu. That is it.
3. Are you a Naruto yaoi or hentai fan?
I'm a, I-Need-My-Fav-Characters-To-Be-Happy-First fan. I don't care what happens so long as there is happiness by the end. Smut and flirtation are great and all, but not the most important thing.
4. Ever cosplayed Naruto characters?
Sasuke once, in the privacy of my room. I had half of his hairdo for a while.
5. List your collection of Naruto junk and merchandise, if any:
A Team 7 Kaleidoscope, 2 Naruto PS2 games, a Naruto keychain, and several manga.
6. Have you ever felt that you were destined to be with a Naruto character?
No. I ship too much to imagine myself with someone I have already mentally set up with someone else.
7. NaruHina or KibaHina?
I don't ship either, but I don't want Hinata with Naruto in any fashion. So KibaHina I suppose.
8. SasuSaku or SasuNaru?
Sasunaru/Narusasu! Don't even get me started on the sham that is sasusaku and boruto. 
9. Which team is your favorite? Team 7 or Team Gai?
Team 7, because it has three of my fav characters in it. Sakura is a let down though, but we can ignore her.
10. Did you support the obito theory? (Tobi=Obito)
Yeah.
11. Did you support the 'Yondaime is Naruto's father' theory?
Yes! In episode 2, 3, or 4 of Naruto, there is a moment of panning over the Hokage's office and they show the photos of the former Hokage. He had the hair and eyes, and until Deidara, was the only character with similar coloring to Naruto. I started the anime in 2007, so I believed for soooo long that he was Naruto’s father!
And I actually got it right! I rarely ever get things like that right so it was a big deal for me.
12. Your favorite Akatsuki member?
Itachi. And maybe Konan.
13. Are you Pro-Sasuke or Anti-Sasuke?
Pro-Sasuke. Danzo fucked him and his entire clan over. Kid needed help but for some reason no adult thought to get him any. I’m not shocked though. Traumatized kids never seem to get the help them need. And then it’s too late.
14. Have you seen all Naruto episodes so far (including Shippuden and fillers)?
Yep. Boruto doesn't count. I ain't watching it.
15. Have you read all the chapters so far?
Yes. Except Boruto. Ain’t doing it.
16. Do you believe Naruto has ADD?
No. He pays attention when he is interested and doesn't find it difficult to. If he is bored he will find other things to do. Boundless energy doesn't always mean ADD or ADHD.
17. Sub or dub?
I don't care. The Eng dub voices are more attractive and I only use subs when testing my Japanese.
18. Pro-Sakura or Anti-Sakura?
Anti-Sakura! I have so many posts explaining why I hate her character.
19. Tobi = Annoying or funny?
50/50.
20. Do you even know who Tobi is?
Yeah.
21. Gai = Sexy beast or Ugly nerd?
Nix the haircut and I'm sure I could evaluate him better. And yes, he’s a nerd, but there is nothing wrong with that.
22. Which character would be the best crossdresser?
Naruto. He already likes turning himself into voluptuous women. He would have had to pay intense attention(as shown by his training of Konohamaru in the Oiroke no Jutsu) to the female form and mannerisms if he can pull it off so well.
Naruto also got his father’s pretty face. Minato would be another good one I’m certain.
23. Rock Lee = Weird or Awesome?
40%/60%.
24. Which character would be best OOC? Who and how?
Naruto. I am a grudge holder and would love to see him hating Konoha for his shit life. I am not the kind to forgive easily and I don’t forget. This is why I love all the fics with him not caring about people, or being a blunt little prick.
25. Do you like Naruto fanfics?
I write them, dammit!
26. Do you write Naruto fanfics?
See above answers.
27. Do you like lemons?
Ah... such an old term. You know this is an old ass quiz. Smut is fine but in moderation. Not everything needs sex to be good.
28. Do your parents know about the Naruto characters?
I have ranted to my mom about anti-sakujra shit and pro SNS shit for years. She couldn't get into it like with Inuyasha, but she knows some characters upon first glance thanks to my whining.
29. Have you watched the Naruto Abridged Series?
Mhm. It was okay.
30. Have you seen The Naruto Ultimate Fanflashes? The ones by Fiori Party, or MskyDragon?
No.
31. Have you ever gotten someone else hooked on Naruto?
I don’t think so. I have people reading my HP/Naruto fic despite never watching the show, but I don’t think that counts.
32. Have you ever been drawing Naruto in school and has someone recognized it?
Once in 7th grade. It lead into an argument on FMA of all things.
33. Have you ever been in class drawing Naruto and the teacher came up to you and said 'WTF is this?'
No.
34. Did Naruto affect your school life and grades?
No. Not even when writing fanfic during class.
35. Are you broke thanks to Naruto?
No. 
36. Do you want to read Icha Icha Paradise?
Yes! I want to know how much Jiraiya really knows! Is he the expert he claims to be?
37. Did you support the 'Yondaime is the Akatsuki Leader' theory?
Nope.
38. Do you draw Naruto fanart? If so, count how many there are in your gallery.
 2 pieces. Both for different fics of mine.
39. Is Sasuke still sexy in his second stage of the cursed seal?
He's okay. Get rid of the creepy ass old-lady-hand-looking wings and he’s fine.
40. Do you have a Naruto OC?
Yes! Her name is Hikari and she is from my fic WWYDI?. She is a SI-OC who is more of a mix of me and 3 other people. I got so much hate for her and it was glorious to continue to piss people off. Of course I lost interest after 75% of the feedback was all haters or whiners.
41. Looking back at some of your answers, do you think Naruto has taken over your life?
No. I do other stuff now, but I dedicate time now and then to come back to it.
I did it! Woo!

SHIPPING INFO !! ANSWER THE FOLLOWING FOR YOUR MUSE SO PEOPLE KNOW HOW SHIPPING WORKS ON YOUR BLOG.
Tumblr media
This will be done for my gals,
WHAT IS YOUR OTP FOR YOUR CHARACTER?:
FUNNY ENOUGH, I don’t have an OTP for any of my girls. Even Sato, who has a crush on Mahiru I don’t ship the two at all. Angie is too much of a wild card, and her “route” with Shuichi felt so...forced and fabricated, I don’t know how to describe it. I’m also lowkey tilted that one of the first things he says is like “You’re a foreigner?”. It rubbed me the wrong way, so I guess you could say its my NOTP. As for Natsumi, even if she weren’t dead I don’t seriously ship her with someone to the point of being otp. 
WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO WRITE WHEN IT COMES TO SHIPPING?:
I’m assuming this means for my muses, because for my actual OTPs and ships, the answer is different. Of course, no smut ‘cause they’re underage.  Truth be told, I don’t know what I’m willing to write since I don’t do much romantic shipping. The closest  thing I have for an answer is fluff and slow burn for Sato; I like to think that she’s the type of person that once she has a crush on a girl she doesn’t know what to do, and she can be socially awkward but still means well. However, if it’s platonic shipping it really depends on my gals reaction to your muse.
HOW LARGE DOES THE AGE GAP HAVE TO BE TO MAKE IT UNCOMFORTABLE?:
If it’s when they are 17, then within a year please. If it’s when they’re in their twenties, then down one year and up two years.
ARE YOU SELECTIVE WHEN SHIPPING?
Yes; maybe I’m too sensitive, but that kind of thing affects me as well. I’m not sure how to describe it, but yes.  
HOW FAR DO STEAMY MOMENTS HAVE TO GO BEFORE THEY ARE CONSIDERED NSFW?
I won’t be writing smut, but as an overall marker? If tongue is mentioned, that’s where the line is crossed for me. 
WHO ARE OTHER CHARACTERS YOU SHIP YOUR CHARACTER WITH?:
Now, I have small ships but nothing grand:
Natsumi: Hajime (he’s a very shippable guy; fun fact: I think their ENG dubs are married), Mahiru (the irony, I know), and no one else for now. Sato: Sonia (look, I ship a lot of the fem athletes with her okay, sonpeko deserve rights), Ibuki, Tenko (it has to be a RP/ canon divergent version of her since I am not a fan of game canon), and Miu (because it would be funny and also sweet) Angie: She’s a chaotic one, but at the moment I think a good dynamic would be her and Gundham-- their energy could power a city. 
DOES ONE HAVE TO ASK TO SHIP WITH YOU?:
I would actually prefer if things progressed naturally and then be asked through what if scenarios, and even then it may take some time. However, if it’s the first thing you ask before interacting I will unfollow.
ARE YOU SHIP OBSESSED OR SHIP MORE-OR-LESS?:
I lean towards the more or less side simply because I am not in control of both characters; in fanfic you make anything happen which works for someone as difficult as me. However, with RP you have to get a read on people and on how they act out of their characters. So, if it works it works if not oh well.
ARE YOU MULTISHIP?:
Yes please; I remember when a lot of blogs were single ship and it was really awkward for details I won’t get into. 
WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE SHIP IN YOUR CURRENT FANDOM?:
kuzupeko (top otp); i love the dynamic, i love the people in the tumblr fan; there’s like headcanons people generally agree one, but still immense support for those who don’t follow it and it’s wonderful. 
FINALLY, HOW DOES ONE SHIP WITH YOU?:
Like I said, have our characters interact and progress naturally.  
tagged: stolen from @mage-ical​ &&  @koagema tagging: go ahead and spread
