A blog for screenshots and rewatch stuff. Tell me if you want anything tagged, too! Q2 is finished, but not posted. Currently uploading: Chrono Stones (Wildfire)!
aka "they spin tops sometimes on the polyamory and autism show", aka "you can't spell beyblade without BL", aka "i can't believe i watched 129 episodes of this because i decided to clean my living room at 4 am", aka "please give robin a break"
all of the posts in order
EXTRA: I DIDN'T EXPECT TO ACTUALLY LIVEBLOG THIS, SO HERE ARE MY ASSORTED THOUGHTS ON THE LATTER HALF OF S1
S1: THIS IS ALL I HAVE OF SEASON ONE BECAUSE MOST OF MY REACTIONS WERE POINTING AT THE SCREEN AND SCREAMING FOR ONE REASON OR ANOTHER ANYWAY
S2P1: I GENUINELY THOUGHT JAXON WOULD LOSE IT AND RUN AWAY BUT I UNDERESTIMATED THE POWER OF SUSHI. AND NOTHING ELSE
S2P2: I WASN'T THAT SOLD ON CIEL BUT SINCE HE'S CONSTANTLY CONVEYING THE SAME VIBES AS A RAIN SOAKED PUPPY I CAN'T HELP BUT ROOT FOR HIM
S2P3: NORMALLY YOU'D HAVE TO WATERBOARD THIS KIND OF EMBARASSING INFORMATION OUT OF ME, BUT I'M CONFESSING BY MYSELF THIS TIME
S2P4: I SHOULD'VE FIGURED OUT THAT I WOULDN'T LIKE S2 AS MUCH THE MOMENT THEY THOUGHT SEPARATING PERSONA WAS THE PATH THEY SHOULD TAKE
S2P5: I UNDERSTAND WHY ROBIN DOES NOT FEEL VERY SHONEN-Y NOW. HE WAS BORN TO STAR IN A BL. WHICH HE KINDA DOES ANYWAY
S2P6: ONE HAS TO WONDER WHY DESPITE BEING RAISED BY GINRO JAXON ENDED UP HAVING SUCH A RELATIVELY NORMAL CONCEPT OF BEYBLADE
S2P7: YOU DON'T NEED TO CURSE ROBIN SO HE KEEPS LOSING. HE HAS BEEN CURSED SINCE BIRTH, BECAUSE HIS PARENTS DECIDED NAMING HIM BIRD WAS A GOOD IDEA
S2P8: I SHOULD'VE LEARNED BY NOW THAT I CAN NEVER ASK FOR ANYTHING EVER, BECAUSE THESE KIND OF THINGS HAPPEN EVERY SINGLE TIME
S2P9: ANOTHER SUMMER, ANOTHER CLEARLY AUTISTIC KID I HAVE VERY COMPLEX OPINIONS ABOUT
S2P10: IN WHICH I REMINISCE ABOUT THAT ONE TIME I BROKE THE FLOOR WITH A BEYBLADE WHEN I WAS A KID
S2P11: IF I DIDN'T TELL YOU OTHERWISE, YOU'D THINK ROBIN WAS MY FAVORITE CHARACTER. REASONABLY SO.
S2P12: THE GAY FROG FROM SPACE STORY IS RELEVANT, I SWEAR. ON ACCOUNT OF CIEL POTENTIALLY BEING HIS SUCCESSOR
S2P13: BEYBURST AND INAGO FANS USED TO OVERLAP A LOT AND I WANT US TO BE FRIENDS AGAIN (although i guess chrome is more similar to hakuryuu...?)
S2P14: WE JUST HAD AN INA11 DETOUR SO LET'S GO FOR PROSEKA NOW FOR NO REASON AT ALL
S2P15: THE CONTRAST BETWEEN CREEPYPASTA JAXON AND ME TRYING TO WRITE COMEDIC FANFICTION OUT OF THE SITUATION IS RATHER HUMOROUS IF YOU ASK ME
S2P16: THE DOMESTIC (?) BATTLE BETWEEN OMEGA AND TENKA MAKES ME WANT TO SING FOR SOME REASON
S2P17: THE COOL SAMURAI GIRL LEAVES AND WHILE I DO UNDERSTAND IT WON'T KEEP ME FROM MISSING HER
S3P1: PEOPLE SAY BEYBLADE X IS A RATHER GROUNDED SPORTS ANIME AND YEAH I GUESS THAT COMPARED TO CERTAIN OTHER SPORTS ANIME IT IS BUT I DON'T THINK CHEATING SHOULD GET YOU EXILED
S3P2: SOME PEOPLE THINK ZERO IS THE MASTER OF MASTERS FROM KH, BUT I DISAGREE. HE'S NOT MOM, HE'S CLEARLY DAD
S3P3: IN WHICH JAXON PULLS OUT A GUN (except he doesn't) (but he might as well)
S3P4: SERIOUSLY, WHAT EVEN IS A BEYTIME SHIFT?
S3P5: MY BROTHER SAT NEXT TO ME AND STARTED WATCHING, WHICH HADN'T REALLY HAPPENED SINCE THE TSUBASA EPISODES. HE'S JUST HERE FOR THE YAOI, AND HONESTLY, GOOD FOR HIM
S3P6: I THINK JAXON NOT REALIZING MULTI AND SIGRID WERE RELATED DESPITE SHARING A SURNAME IS FORESHADOWING THE FACT THAT HE'S ACTUALLY NOT RELATED TO THE KUROSU CLAN, BUT WHAT DO I KNOW
S3P7: CIEL WENT FROM PUPPY SOAKED IN THE RAIN TO ABSOLUTE DEPRESSION SOMEONE PLEASE HELP HIM
S3P8: I DID NOT CLOCK JAXON'S AUTISM ON MINUTE 1 BECAUSE THE FIRST EPISODES I WATCHED WERE THE ONES WITH YUNI AND I WAS MOSTLY IMPRESSED THAT MULTI WAS A WELL WRITTEN FEMALE MAIN CHARACTER IN A SPORTS ANIME WITH A WELL DEVELOPED AND FUN DYNAMIC WITH THE OTHER TWO LEADS. AND ALSO POLYAMORY
S3P9: NOW THAT I THINK OF IT, CIEL NEVER DID GO TO THE ARCTIC. MAYBE HE SHOULD. IT SEEMED TO WORK FOR SIGRID
S3P10: I ONCE SAW SOMEONE SAYING THEY SHOULD EXPLAIN WHY JAXON IS SO INTO BEYBLADE TO THE POINT OF CACKLING MANIACALLY WHEN HE'S HAVING FUN BUT LIKE I GET IT. CACKLING MANICALLY WHEN YOU'RE HAVING FUN IS PRETTY FUN IN AND OF ITSELF
S3P11: IF ZERO ENDS UP BEING JAXON FROM THE FUTURE (which is not very likely) YOU ALL GOTTA COME INTO MY INBOX AND SAY 'man, your brother called it'
S3P12: ONE GOT REALLY BUFF BETWEEN EPISODES AND NOBODY KNOWS WHY
S3P13: TO BE FAIR IT WASN'T THAT LONG BETWEEN JAXON'S LAST BATTLE AND THIS ONE BUT I SPENT LIKE A WEEK NOT WATCHING BEYBLADE BECAUSE I HAD NO TIME SO IT FELT LIKE LONGER
S3P14: SOMEDAY, ROBIN WILL WIN. IT WON'T BE TODAY, OR TOMORROW, OR NEXT WEEK. MAYBE NOT EVEN NEXT YEAR. BUT HE WILL, SOMEDAY
ok to be fair it wasn't actually electric but still
i remember packun everytime i watch drstone and chrome is my favorite character. i'd say that's pretty BAAAAAAD
ah, i think i didn't screenshot any of my comments about this, but i mention a couple of times that robin does not feel shonen-y at all. and i find that really lovely
I LOVE YOU KIWAMIIIIIII
we can all use some beyblade yuri
"season 3 is spinning top whole cake" is not the conclusion i expected to end up at but here we are i guess
thinking about putting sushi in robin's hood probably
well, he does live in the year 2100
[and then it happened]
i love dragons dragons are so cool
these two slowly becoming friends was genuinely one of the best parts of the anime
just because i'm not nine's biggest fan it doesn't mean i don't want good things to happen to her
i mean obviously she wasn't coming back but still :(
he must've felt like that for a reason, i'm sure
it will never stop being funny to me that a sports anime protagonist is a weirdo in every aspect except what they think of the sport they are obsessed with
then again, and it bears repeating, i am really into ina11 and the last two protags i interacted with were tenma, who thought of the sport as a person with feelings, and unmei, who, considering he sees soccer as haru, is probably gay for the sport itself
again, i am not nine's biggest fan, but you just can't call her a failure throughout her life and then ask her to come back as soon as she's showing results. i don't care how buff you are, that deserves a punch in the face
by the way, what chrome said in the sixth screenshot was "the ekusu i knew is no longer there. i'll definitely beat ekusu someday", but it got cut

why does it fit
THANK YOU SIGRID!!!
but you should also target multi, he loves her too! ... actually, it's better if you don't target anyone...
my brother and i have opposite opinions regarding beyblade. jaxon's my favorite, my brother doesn't like him. i think robin is transmasc, my brother thinks he's transfem. i like polysona, my brother likes chrome and jaxon. we can never agree
jaxon riding his bey like a surfboard is a funny mental image, though
you can't spell "beyblade" without "bl"!
i guess i am having loads of fun, yeah
the anime page i was using said the anime was finished but it is absolutely not
unlike good, righteous people, who do not get tired
my brother makes a really funny face everytime jaxon does something i would. it's kinda like (￢︿̫̿￢)
robin helped him put his jacket on and it was really sweet
jaxon loses his mind even further (meaning he's truly living his best life)

just gonna save you some time and post only this one, because i had a very normal very not-cuteness aggression to jaxon saying how much he loves his friends (?)
very funny how robin is making sushi, though
this is like asking chrome to not stop breathing
his catchphrase <3 yay <3
biggest plot twist of the episode tbh
these were one second apart. the shift was so sudden i got startled. and then started cackling
i wish my autism made me glow blue
it seemed like jaxon finally fully lost his mind, so i was really curious as to what robin was trying to do here, but...
does ciel think he's being subtle? cause i'm very sure everyone knows
PREV

whether he really believes this or not is irrelevant. TELL HIM, CIEL!
it always hurts seeing someone getting rejected, but man...
would be pretty hard not to
it'd be like expecting robin to win, really
ciel and sigrid are one of my favorite friendships and i wish they showed up more. i love them
such a shame she never got to talk with tenka again, though
again, i wonder if these two fandoms are still friends. i hope they are. if you like beyblade you probably would like inazuma. it also has children being really not-normal about a sport. and polyamory, if you're like me
jaxon also asked robin to feed him in a preview, but i didn't know this when i watched this ep since it was a season 1 preview and i watched it on netflix, which doesn't have previews for some reason
at least now we know what love she was talking about earlier
do we consider jaxon "acting weird" to mean jaxon is acting like what others consider "normal"? because he's not acting like that either
PREV

Do Not Say That Ever Again
i think this is the first time he's been angry like that. cause the last time was kind of a murderous rage, but he was still smiling
that reminds me that the first beyblade gen had a game that sucked so much that it drove two youtubers i like to insanity. and then they played another one that was slightly less worse and the same thing happened. and that's all i know about gen 1 because i never watched it
never doubt me ever again. this means jaxon is not related to the kurosu clan
i might think she's kinda lame as a villain but i do love the space thing she has going on
MY BELOVED IS BACK
i want to think tenka has no idea the whole zero thing is happening, she just wanted to visit, got thrown in the middle of whatever the hell is happening here and went "might as well"
... whose love, tenka?
there's a heart-shaped cloud in the background. guess tenka means jaxon's love
it would've been so funny if jaxon actually fell asleep. like "ah, multi doesn't want me to talk. guess i'll take a nap!"

every time ciel is onscreen he's either suffering or homoing out with few little exceptions. please someone give this kid (?) a break
he must've done something to deserve it tbh
imagine you go meet who you think is your long lost brother so he can help you take down your evil dad but then he spends most time being restrained by his boyfriend and his girlfriend because he just cannot BE STILL FOR MORE THAN THREE SECONDS
at least she's not letting fanatism blind her
i think the only age headcanons i have set in stone is that jaxon and robin are 15, multi is 16 and ciel is 17. the rest are in age limbo
honestly? good for him. i'm glad
something not-good very-bad
i mean, zero sure as hell is not saying anything about jaxon. and i feel like he would if he really was his son
a lot of people have blue hair, pronouns and beyblade skill. doesn't have to mean anything
whenever i think about either robin winning or jaxon losing it feels like that one yugîoh two roads meme
i also hope she's doing well :(
me when i get over my slump because the plot told me to
i don't think vanishing jaxon to a beyblade-less life is a good idea, though. i think he'd explode
PREV

"does your brother think jaxon is evil just because he made a poor choice of words once" no, he thinks jaxon is evil because he reminds him of me. whatever it says about either him or me, that's up for you to decide
draconic break? more like draconic breaku-
my brother is fujoing out and writing fanfiction
hopefully after this is all over he quits being a dark pro or whatever
i think you could have a conversation with chrome where jaxon isn't mentioned, but if you talked to ciel and he didn't mention chrome i'd start thinking he got sick or replaced by an alien
i am severy affected by the "i really like sports anime but sports bores me to death so even though it's the main thing i am just waiting until it's over" curse. i'm not getting better anytime soon

nine fell asleep
what a man
what a boy
they're very cute <3
why was finding the original pv for this so hard
and if you ask me, he isn't
it's okay, you'll catch up. and by you i mean multi and probably nine i'm very sorry robin
it's important to him and it will inevitably happen and that's all i know
at least the cool ghost gamer lady is as confused as me
even though he's a lot of things, i wouldn't say "kind" is one of them
i wanted to upload this yesterday but tumblr told me i exceeded my image upload limit for the day which was quite surreal

i mean if it makes you feel better, jaxon is also dating a girl
nine only asked jaxon but the polycule sticks together
i don't remember if i screenshot when i said it, but it's such a shame jaxon and multi interact the least out of the team persona duos, and i want them to interact more
this helps greatly though i hope it happens more
i like these three they are really cute
it's also the primary colors but like does that really matter
we love you robin!!!
the only suffering he got was not being allowed to battle but as jaxon is my favorite character he bears the curse of "unaddressed potential angst meltdown imminent yet never happening"
i mean, considering the kind of people he ties with, robin is very, very good at blading. the powerscale just keeps running him over for whatever reason
kinda funny that i adore tenka (she's my third fav character) but i thought omega was kinda boring and now i think zero's a great villain but i find nine rather boring

hooray <3
nine said "you're my big brother" and i thought "no he's not". apparently jaxon was thinking the same
he's neither forgiving nor forgetting
that i'm sure will probably get answered in their due time
apparently!
it'd be really funny if jaxon wasn't zero's son BUT he's related to nine through their mom
they're probably the same age so that can't be it (though since i said in my hc jaxon is 15, nine could be 13 since she seems younger)
maybe zero will be robin's first actual win (very, very, VERY unlikely)
season 3 starts and i honestly don't know what to expect anymore
PREV
NEXT
but nine is a disappointment, sure
i think someone else could put it into words better than i can, but s1 and s2 jaxon feel... different
reasonably so, might i add
^w^
maybe she just has a very flat way of speaking, you don't know that
what interacting daily with jaxon does to a guy, i guess
did they even investigate that properly because like. he didn't have anything illegal on him, they should at least give them compensation, not kick them out
you got a red card in soccer so we must exile you and your entire team from your hometown, i'm sorry
i don't know what you expected, nine. not everyone is living in the year 2100 like you
it's summer, so i get it
[this was the first and last time alma ever cared about nine]
