I forgot to mention I changed both my tumblr (cherrypicked-pearls) and ao3 (bubblewrapped_heartache) users to party-rocker!! Idk what some of y’all follow me for nowadays but I’m still that Hanakou fanatic 😭

Tamon being a Vocaloid producer and a Vtuber fan was NOT on my bingo card

Introducing people to alien stage is a pain because they'll never understand what it was like to sit with the implications and foreshadowing and symbolism and lore for MONTHS on end between each round and having so much time to digest the deaths of each character. Like all you have to do to get into alnst is watch it but that's honestly not enough to understand the whole story nor feel the true impact of each plot development. Because each round is so short in comparison to a standard animation episode, I feel like new fans don't absorb as much information before moving onto the next round. It's a privilege to be able to watch everything in one go but I think it comes at a cost of emotional impact. Seeing the rollercoaster that was the final round then waiting for MONTHSSSS to be told hey!! Till actually survived!! was an INSANE yet integral experience to watching alnst imo. Just seeing everything in one go isn't the same because to new fans he just got shot, skipped an episode and hey he's alive again!! Like you don't know the PAIN of reading into every little thing between round 6 and karma to see he's alive or having Vivinos drop a comic of Till and his mom a whole MONTH later to really rub salt in the wound and have it FESTER AND FESTER UNTIL THEY RELEASED THE NEXT EP UGHAUAUGAHAHUH.

This is an oldhead take for sure but seeing my friend treat it like short form content to get through to enjoy the fan content instead of a layered message about what love is like in a dystopia makes me want to rip my hair out. Have fun watching it yes but take the time to really absorb what you're watching, it'll add so much more depth to your experience I PROMISE

Sick and twisted that Aida DELIBERATELY gave Tsukasa 'vessel for the red house entity' Yugi a shirt that says PUPPET in BIG BOLD letters

HAPPY NEW YURI‼️‼️

Themes and such...

Without exaggeration this is EXACTLY what my fic Take a Bite is about

[party-rocker]

Tomorrow either chainsaw man part two ends or the entire thing does and honestly with ANY other series it would’ve been obvious that it’s only the end of part two but Fujimoto is so unpredictable this genuinely could be it

[party-rocker]

The fact that he said he wanted csm’s ending to be similar to the big Lebowski where things are left unresolved and like “nothing matters” doesn’t help either

[party-rocker]

So. About that

[party-rocker]

After seeing how csm and beastars ended please tbhk AidaIro PLEASE stick the landing

[party-rocker]

What the fuck
