happy disability pride month and once again, FUCK lazy subtitles. fuck the [speaks foreign language] instead of actually transcribing the words, fuck shortening sentences and changing whats been said for no reason, fuck censoring swearing in captions but not in audio and fuck anyone who says youre being 'too sensitive' for being upset about a lack of accessibility

A while back I joined with trans women and other disabled folks in being critical of Dimension 20 for its lack of representation of either community. I’m curious to see what trans folks and disabled folks with a prosthesis think of this season of dimension 20. I may be disabled, and am glad for the disabled rep, but I don’t have a prosthesis and would like to listen to those with these experiences.

My ADHD: I cannot clean it feels like putting my hand on a hot stove

My autism: Things aren't in order I feel like I'm going to explode I have to clean there has to be order

My ADHD: I feel like going to explode because I physically cannot clean my brain won't let me

Me: Guess we just feel horrible then

This whole show is going to be all about defeating fascists, isn’t it? The fascist Mordechester against the communist Tabirans/Zoodians—It’s all so perfect. I can’t wait to see what Brennan’s got in store.

It is extremely unfair that the cast get two maps that we don’t get to see.

Does anyone know a good way to get caught up with the Croaker’s shenanigans? I’ve watched both of the Strange videos, and have been following what happened at Dash Con 2, but the interim is a mystery to me.

[i-amusemyself]

shoutout to the small but noticeable minority in masks at dashcon 2! Good to see people protecting themselves and this community of freaks (affectionate) so we can threaten ball pits with the contents of our bladders for many years to come.

What a great finale, the next season is gonna be fun too. For those who want a slight teaser for the next season—no major spoilers, just some light plot info—check below the cut.

If you want to start reading the light novels, but don’t want to reread through the books covered by the first two seasons of the anime, then you can start with LN 5 with no trouble at all.

Maomao and Jinshi leave the capital on a road trip (not overseas to follow Shisui sadly) west to visit Consort Gyokuyou’s hometown, the western capital. There’s a looming threat of a potentially devastating plague of locust that Jinshi is worried about, as well as other plots, subterfuge, romance, danger, and stuff like that.

Guen (the quack doctor) is a sweetheart and deserves to be treated better by Maomao.

Marya said that the legend of Straka was the things that you throw away, that still have life in them, come back to haunt you. What if her Straka was once a biomechanical companion like Kočka that she once threw away or lost or something?

[patchdonal]

Now that the anime has almost entirely caught up to the end of LN 4, I can say this. I really like that none of the 5 high consorts are pieces of shit. You would expect that at least one of them would be devious connivers like Lady Shenmei, but no. They’re all women trying to make the best out of a fucked up system. When you hear the premise of the show taking place in the rear palace of what is essentially Imperial China, you would expect a lot of women fighting other women over a man (the Emperor), but for the most part, that dynamic is absent.

[patchdonal]

As someone who has read all the light novels, I must say that the anime is a great adaptation. It adds so much intrigue and suspense, that I can’t wait to see what they do with the next arc. I’m particularly curious as to how they handle a particular scene at the end of LN 5.

[patchdonal]

Okay real quick. Something I noticed on rewatch is that the reason why Mordechestershire’s troops were at the South Pole is because Wealwell mentioned going to the South Pole while he was on the ship. I don’t think Wealwell did it deliberately, I’m just saying it’s his fault.

[patchdonal]

Mordechestershire 100% made it through the Biangle behind them, right?

[patchdonal]

I’ll be honest, this whole vim and vex thing is so confusing. Hopefully it’s not too crucial to understanding what’s going on.

[patchdonal]

Is it just me, or is this recap so unnecessarily long?

[patchdonal]

It really feels like the Window of Wonder, which features an actual artist, is just a big fuck you to all the companies who are now peddling AI slop. It’s fantastic, and I’d love to see it in future Dimension 20 seasons.
