Ranting Otaku

I've been anime obsessed ever since I was a kid. This is just a place for me to like/share/rant about my favorite anime/manga. Currently most obsessed with: BNHA and One Piece

More deserved apologies and Pomni is in dire need of an health-check.

The fact that “dolls having a tea party” has stuck around in the public consciousness is fascinating to me.

Like, back in the Old Days that would be a way that women would actually socialize.  So if a girl had a doll tea party, she was imitating her mom / other contemporary women.

But these days contemporary women don’t have tea parties. So now, the idea of “dolls having a tea party” is an echo of an extinct behavior, only repeated and referenced because it used to be so prevalent.

So a Barbie in a big hat themed for a tea party is a bit like if they made Transformers that turned into stagecoaches and horse-drawn buggies.

Like I wouldn’t buy the fuck out of stagecoach transformers

Prime and Prejudice

[kyoshi-lesbians]

my controversial opinion is I don’t think Zuko was confused by “my first girlfriend turned into the moon”

[kyoshi-lesbians]

he was there during siege of the North. he infiltrated the spirit oasis. he has an uncle who studies spirits and the spirit world. he watched the sky go dark then the moon suddenly reappear like everyone else in the entire world did. and most importantly he watched zhao get eaten by a giant godzilla fish spirit.

[kyoshi-lesbians]

his entire life since he saw that beam of blue-white light in the south pole has been ‘this day has already been so goddamn weird’

[edgar-allan-possum]

The only really new information was that that was Sokka’s girlfriend

[library-graffiti]

Important opinion in the tags that I need to have be part of the post:

[clearascountryair]

Also, Iroh was there? He literally watched Sokka make out with the moon spirit. And you want to tell me that a romantic sap like him would not have immediately told Zuko about this romantic tragedy? Please, Zuko has known about this for ages, he just knows that this is not an acceptable situation in which to say “yeah, I know.”

[terriwriting]

Sokka: “My girlfriend turned into the moon.”

Zuko: “I know.” “Yes.” “She sure did.” “Uh huh.” “Tell me something new.” “Are we still talking about that?” “That’s rough, buddy.”

[uberguber89]

When you put it like that, this is actually a legendary display of tact on Zuko’s part

Senshi facts

- he is 112 years old

- he’s considered feminine for a dwarf in dungeon meshi canon

- he spent most of his life living off of the ecology of the dungeon (monster food) after (insert ptsd inducing backstory) happened when he was just a youngin

- he doesn’t have kids and I genuinely think he’d be a bad parent because of how oblivious he can be at times, but he would try his hardest to keep them well fed

- he assumes that all halflings are children because they are small

- he doesn’t wash his beard and this makes it hard for magic to be cast on him

- he hates magic and sees it as a shortcut to getting things done the hard and right way

- he explains EVERYTHING he does when cooking so that those around him can learn from him

- he would make a great teacher of some kind of dungeon survival skills class

- he has a mithril cooking knife

- he turned a perfectly good mithril shield into a large wok he takes everywhere

- the fact that he is hot without his helmet is initially treated as a gag because of how silly he looks with it on

- he can be very careless outside of his obsession with cooking monsters (ignoring directions from his party members and not taking proper care of his supplies) (so real. adhd representation. not caring about anything but your hyperfocus. I understand king)

- one time he gave the birds and the bees talk to Chilchuck because he thought Chilchuck was a child (he’s literally just a young looking 29 year old halfling with three children) (eventually he realizes that Chilchuck as a halfling is essentially middle aged and they get closer bc he gets over his prejudices)(chilshi shoutout)

- he deeply believes in only taking what you need and giving back what you can. Don’t over harvest. Don’t destroy an ecosystem for your own gain. The ecology of the dungeon is important for everyone.

- again his hyperfixation is cooking monsters and he is in canon the best monster food chef in the world

- (MANGA SPOILERS) he tells a character who was (spoiler spoiler spoiler) and is left feeling like the scraps of food left behind on the plate that vegetable scraps can always be used to grow something new and should never be thrown away 🩵

Also shoutout to chilshi everyone get more chilshi pilled right now
