puts my chin in my hands and kicks my feet behind me so tell me about this tiger and bunny show please

OWHRJWJFNS SNEE!!! 🥺😭💖💖💖💖💖 THANK YOU !!!!

SO now that snee's got me going i am NOT GOING TO STOP and will now proceed to tell u guys enough about tiger and bunny to hopefully annoy my moots and followers to watch it too ♡

have you guys ever heard of the hit anime my hero academia? have you ever wished for a show that was premised similarly to it, but featured more adults and was more character-driven and didn't take place in highschool? WELL LOOK NO FURTHER THAN TIGER AND BUNNY (2011)!!!!!!!

taking place in a world wherein a new race of superpowered people called NEXTs exists, we set our scene in a funky and futuristic version of 1978 with poor city planning, giant statues, and holographic technology — tiger and bunny is about the city of Stern Bild and their most popular tv program of all: HERO TV! A show that follows the action-packed lives of the 8 resident NEXT superheroes within Stern Bild's city, and even makes them compete for points in order to "win" each season!

despite all this set-up that makes tiger and bunny seem to be an extremely heavy and overly profound commentary on the justice system, t&b is actually an AMAZINGLY light-hearted and fun take on superhero society if you need a break from all the politics in things like the mcu or bnha.

the protagonist is a 35-year-old absolutely DILF of a man named kotetsu kaburagi who is a struggling widower and father of a pre-teen little girl and also, incidentally, famous 10-year veteran hero WILD TIGER! who is... loved by few but known by many! his superpower is superstrength, superspeed, super... *everything* — which sounds great and all until you learn that his powers... only last for five minutes.

kotetsu's down on his luck, pretty low on the scoreboards in terms of popularity AND points as an older hero who most people would describe as "past his prime". he struggles w balancing fatherhood and also continuing to be a hero when everything in the world is telling him to finally hang up the cape.

> enter: barnaby brooks jr.

barnaby is an upstart and smart-aleck new hero and the adoptive son of the CEO of HERO tv: mr. maverick. he makes his debut into the cast of HERO TV in stern bild with a bang! rescuing wild tiger from a criminal chase gone awry. he's cool, he's attractive, he's smart, he's popular, and he's scarily skilled. but the kicker?

he has the exact same ability as wild tiger.

(oh, and did i forget to mention they're the world's first ever hero duo?)

in the style of your typical buddy cop film, wild tiger and barnaby are partnered up as a dynamic duo in an attempt by herotv to maximize both of their skills. they start off the show LOATHING one another, whether it be for their seperate ideals or simply the way the other speaks.

in a typical golden heart / cold logicsl brain dynamic, t&b takes that trope and turns it on its head by making the old and experienced veteran—kotetsu—the bleeding and naive heart, and barnaby as the critical and callous strategist.

the show follows the development of their relationship from rivals to partners, and shows off JUST how well the two of them work together when they try.

aside our main two boys' endless flirting and obvious pining, tiger and bunny also presents the mini arcs and stories of their diverse cast of superheroes within the show, and that none of them are what meets the eye. with a few sprinkles of found family, what it means to be a hero, and HEALTHY doses of kotetsu being the father figure we all crave — t&b is one of my favorite ensemble animes to date.

[martindykewood]

like i quite literally have never been more passionate about anything than i am about the human race’s invariable desire to tell stories and the fact that we always find a way to do it, through spoken language and written language and body language and visual art and theater and poetry and oral tradition and a million other things. there are so many things we take for granted about the human experience that we never stop to think about but i really want you to take a step back and consider how fucking amazing it is that our need to tell stories transcends all boundaries of time and geography and borders and language. it is one of very few things that is legitimately intrinsic to human nature and i will never stop being completely in awe of humanity for that.

[atlanxic-deactivated20250205]

sometimes you say or do bad things while you’re in an awful mental place. sometimes you say things that are rude or uncalled for or manipulative. and i’m not going to hold that against you. mental illness is hard, and no one is perfect. but once you’re through that episode, you need to take steps to make amends. you need to apologize.

“i couldn’t help it, i was having a bad episode” is a justification, not an apology.

“i’m so fucking sorry, i fucked up, i don’t deserve to live, i should stop talking to anyone ever, i should die” is a second breakdown and a guilt trip. it is not an apology.

when you apologize, the focus should be on the person you hurt. “i’m sorry. i did something that was hurtful to you. even if i was having a rough time, you didn’t deserve to hear that,” is a better apology. if it was a small thing, you can leave it at that.

if you caused significant distress to the other person, this is a good time to talk about how you can minimize damage in the future. and again, even if it is tempting to say you should self-isolate and/or die, that is not a helpful suggestion. it will result in the person you’re talking to trying to talk you out of doing that, which makes your guilt the focus of the conversation instead of their hurt.

you deserve friendship, and you deserve support. but a supportive friend is not an emotional punching bag, and mental illness does not absolve you of responsibility for your actions. what you say during a mental breakdown doesn’t define you. how you deal with the aftermath though, says a lot.

Despite your reputation as a Dark Lord, you have a strict moral code. So when a young girl showing signs of abuse wandered into your realm, you took her in. Now the neighboring kingdom is acusing you of kidnapping their princess. You have to choose between returning her to her abusors or war.

[youngmasterwisdomperson]

You choose war. You have a reputation to uphold after all, and you reason that it’d be good to overthrow the abusive rulers of the neighboring kingdom and put an ally on the throne. For purely selfish reasons of course. Just a means of expanding your empire, nothing more. And luckily for you, you have a guest who will likely be more than happy to help if you were to ask her.

But that can wait. Your guest is tired, jumpy, and understandably in need of time to rest and recover. You won’t need her help for the warfare aspect anyway. You ensure your demonic servants will protect her with their lives and make her feel safe and welcome. Then you set aside some time in your busy schedule of conquest to check on the poor girl. Purely to determine whether she’s in prime condition for manipulating, of course. Your future puppet ruler will be more likely to cooperate if you build a solid foundation of respect and trust, after all.

Years of serving as the Dark Lord have taught you that your minions work harder when you treat them well. So you provide your young guest with everything she requests, within reason of course. She says she hasn’t slept well lately because her stuffed animal was left behind when she fled home. You ask if there are any other things of hers she misses from her old home. With a now completed list, you send your most covert operatives to the enemy palace to execute a most wicked heist of a stuffed animal and the princess’s dog dubbed Sir Meatball, as well as a few books she would read for comfort. You congratulate yourself on how evil it is of you to steal a dog. And just for good measure you have your minions perform reconnaissance on the palace. You’ll have to invade it soon anyway. May as well multitask.

The interesting thing is the hero the enemy sends to fight you. The chosen one it would seem, although it continues to baffle you how young he is. Young and impressionable. He barely knows how to hold that magic sword he wields. It’s barely light enough for him to lift. You send your winged minions to carry him toward your evil castle of dread and terror. You greet him at the landing pad on the roof. He insists on dueling you, even as his sword shakes in his sweaty palms. The prophecy says he will defeat you in a one-on-one duel. Very well, you decide. If something goes wrong you have medics on hand. You wouldn’t want someone to die from a friendly duel. He’s no match for you, you soon find. You humor him for a while. He obviously came a long way to duel you after all, and you can tell he’s trying very hard to hit you with that sword. You give him a few passing tips as you fight, and he thanks you awkwardly.

Then the princess interrupts your duel. “Maximus!” She chides, “you promised to take me dragon riding this afternoon!”

You turn to your dark secretary of doom, Jerry, who squints at the evil schedule of hopelessness and cries out. “Ah! She’s right, my lord. My sincerest apologies.”

“That’s alright, my faithful minion,” you say while holding the tip of the chosen’s sword between two fingers. “This whole duel thing was a bit of a spontaneous thing, and I should have looked at the schedule first.” You look down at the boy. “I’m sorry, child, but it seems I have a commitment to fulfill with the dear princess. Can we reschedule this duel for a later date?”

“Wh-what? No! The duel has already started, you can’t just back out like that!” He says, trying with all his might to pry his sword free from your grip.

“Very well,” you say with a sigh. “In that case, I forfeit, and you win the duel by default. There, that fulfills the prophecy. Would you like a ride home?”

The chosen one blinks with shock. “I-“

“Oh, what am I saying? You’ve come all this way, you must be exhausted. You ought to stay for dinner later. We’re having doom chicken soup of eternal darkness! It’s absolutely to die for.”

The boy looks at the princess quizzically. She assures him it’s just normal chicken soup. You vehemently deny this, saying you’re evil cook of evilness Frederick is supernaturally good at his job, and to refer to the fruits of his labor as “just normal soup” would be an insult to all the work he puts in.

You take the princess dragon-riding, and later that evening during dinner the chosen one breaks down crying. You ask him what’s wrong. He opens up about his confusion. He’d spent his entire journey up on this point dreading the responsibility thrust upon him. He’d barely survived several encounters with monsters and demons and now that he’s here, he’s questioning his entire perspective. After all, he says, you’ve been treating him better than anyone ever did back home and despite the spiky black armor you seem so genuinely kind. He doesn’t know what to do, he confesses.

You reassure him that no one expects anything of him, and that he can stay as long as he’d like, or he could simply go back home in the morning. You won’t stop him. He says he still has to fulfill the other half of the prophecy, freeing the princess from those who would cause her harm. The princess assures him that she is not in any danger where she is, and that if he really wants to fulfill the prophecy he ought to help you overthrow her parents.

And so you adopt kid number two.
