wait fuck this is supposed to have a title isn't i

[jackalsworth]

we're up to three shows this season where we started watching them, my partner immediately read up to current in the manga, and then has started glancing knowingly at me every time something happens in the anime

[jackalsworth]

i think i've finally put my thoughts together about the tadc finale, and i have a few postulates about why it worked for some people and not for others:

if your favorite character was caine, you will probably not like the finale

if your *least* favorite character was jax, you will probably not like the finale

if you wanted the show, as a whole, to be (or if you're at least okay with it being) a meditation on grief and existentialism, you will like the finale

if you wanted the show to be something *other* than that, you will not like the finale

if you're the type of person who enjoys reading and/or writing shipping fanfic, you will *love* the finale

there are other reasons to like or dislike it (that is to say, there are other aspects that i think it does well and does badly), but those are broad-strokes reasons why i think the community reaction looks divided

Hey can anybody find that post which is talking about a magical girl interpretation of "The Other Side" from The Greatest Showman?

[jackalsworth]

[jackalsworth]

okay, yeah, that was worth going to the theater for

[inky-sun]

[jackalsworth]

i say this about a surprising amount of anime, but wistoria wand and sword has to be the gayest straight show i've ever seen

[jackalsworth]

it probably says something about the way i approach rpgs that i talked down and then spared de vries, then spent the entire rest of the game with her sniper rifle equipped

person who has only seen K/DA watching kpop demon hunters: this act has a real K/DA energy

The constant of a Zero Escape game is that no matter who they are, the character is autistic and has a special interest and WILL make it your problem, no matter the time sensitivity of the situation you are in.

[whispersosoftly]

We can't forget the time someone derails a conversation to talk at length about how telepathy is real and also super scientific and then when pressed is like oh, psg, you think it's real? It's just a theory, moron.
