I was at a major convention with some family (hence the devon posting) earlier and I thought I was a fan of anime but I'm realizing that I'm Not and being a fan of anime isnt even really a thing because anime really is Way More than just one thing, its 100 different genres of which i like maybe Two. The amount I have in common with Logan (26, Demon Slayer fan who argues over shonen character power levels and owns figures of that one chick with the bamboo in her mouth) is genuinely almost 0 and yet to most people we'd both be considered Anime Fans which is. Crazy. I'm a yuri obsessed lesbian who dresses in gothic lolita fashion and exclusively reads 2 volume manga that never gets turned into anime there is almost Nothing for me at any major anime convention or manga store Ever and yet everytime people see Goku they go "Oh hey look its anime you like anime" like. What the hell. I guess it makes semse but also Damn there is NOTHING for me huh

ITS FUCKED!! IT SUCKS!!!!! IM GOING CRAZY

People can complain when a romance manga ends when the mains get together but there's something far worse that can happen which is the story continuing afterwards even though the author has nothing left to say

"Mario Mario" is an anachronism. He and his brother were only ever referred to by mononyms in their lifetime, like most residents of the Mushroom Kingdom at the time - multi-part names were typically reserved for members of the Toadstool dynasty, and even these were more like titles or Roman cognomina than what we would call a surname today. His putative ennoblement as founder of the "House of Mario" came centuries later as the collapsing feudal order sought additional sources of legitimacy

#mushroom kingdom folklore says that he sleeps beneath a warp pipe to arise in the time of the kingdom's greatest need #he's definitely shown up a few times but it's hard to tell if he has risen from the dead or is just in the middle of some time travel shit #historians hate him.

While the historical evidence for Mario having a younger brother is quite concrete, the name of said brother is less certain. "Luigi" is generally held to originate with a separate figure from a series of chthonic myths, who originally served as a sort of psychopomp charged with capturing spirits that escaped the underworld. The strongest case for a contemporary figure named Luigi comes from the Waffle Kingdom sagas; however, this Luigi's brother is a gladiator named Gonzales.

now I know that there's no way for me to respond to this without a bunch of fans of the modern adaptations ruining my inbox for the next week, but there's no evidence of Waluigi - or indeed Luigi - in any of the contemporary versions of the Mario-Wario sagas. The name "Wario" itself is a later invention, held to be a pun on warui that likely emerged after the adoption of Japanese scripts in the Koopa States.

The conflict between Mario and his "boyhood rival" was one over political influence on his home island and Mario's long absences - in particular his trip to Sarasaland. While later Sarasan sources would heavily reference Mario's brother, he is absent from both the preceding narrative and the unrest in Mario's homeland. The historical consensus is that the Sarasaland journey was one of Mario's earliest wanderings, with his brother attempting to manage affairs in his absence and proving unfit. The invention of a separate "Wario" character and its development into an explicit coup d'etat were later poetic creations, as is distancing of the "Wario" figure from the later depictions of Mario's brother as the more cowardly and reserved "Luigi".

(As an aside: "Mario Land" is a mistranslation. The original Mushroomer and Sarasan chronicles are better translated as "the land of Mario", without connotations of ownership. The modern scholastic consensus is that it refers to Yoshi's Island, where Mario and his brother spent their youth and later established a small manor, not, as commonly depicted, a "Mario Castle". The emphasis on Mario as king of "Mario Land" was a mostly successful political maneuver by the Yoshis to retain coequal status with the Mushroom Kingdom heartlands in the face of 18th-century expansionist pan-Mushroomism.)

The later emergence of "Waluigi" is an ironic recombination of two figures from the same historical source, and may have originated as a farce parodying the Mario stories. (The name "Waluigi" is also conflated with the early Norman figure Varr Yngwi, who is generally credited with the invention of tennis.)

the depths of mahiros repression is truly really really funny and so real. shes so eager to be a girl and so eager to love girls and will act on it constantly, but she cant ever think about it or she freaks out and tries to go back into the egg. she flips back and forth between joyfully engaging with her girlhood and trying sooo hard to assert her alleged Totally Impenetrable Masculine Identity that she waltzes into affirming her girlhood so often. yes you are a lesbian sweetheart. you were so scared of becoming gay you didnt realize you became gay.

littlehimedanshi

One thing I keep thinking about is how afraid Mahiro is of getting specifically “found out”. There’s zero way this could happen, but she still is terrified of being outed as being “really a guy” and experiencing transmisogyny specifically in the form of immediate accusations of being a disgusting pervert, etc.

Theres absolutely zero ambiguity. Mahiro is a trans girl, she’s just repressed.

leia organa truly has one of the best bait-and-switch character introductions of all time because when you meet her she's this brave, stoic picture of elegance and justice and always knows just what to say to vader and tarkin and is clad in white like an angel and is this perfect two-dimensional archetype of pureness of heart. and then approximately half an hour later into the film she meets luke and han and she IMMEDIATELY shows her true colors as a sarcastic, bitchy control freak with a massive impulsive streak and a deep mine of hyperspecific insults. 10/10 character design i'm obsessed with her

post unlocked because i just dnf'd the project hail mary book due to andy weir's 'rocky thinks in base six' inconsistencies.

if rocky thinks and estimates in base six round numbers and then converts to base ten for ryan gosling's sake (established early!! basically one of the first things ryan gosling works out!), then he would not suggest that they jump from 80 to 86 when rounding up for safety, because neither of those are base six round numbers. he would suggest jumping to a safety allowance of 84 (220 in base six) or 90 (230 in base six).
