Name's Shan!

But you can call me Telemachus

You've hopefully seen the bio, so keep my age in mind if you choose to follow me. Also, I tend to post about potential spoilers, so there's that✌🏽

I'm into lots of things, so expect me to post several TMNT ramblings in a row and turn around two seconds later to spiel about butterscotch.

Some tags to maneuver around this wondrous emporium:

shan art — shan writing — rambles — answering your asks — analysis

My other holes in the wall if you're that curious:

AO3 (I write) — Reddit (I thrive) — Instagram (I draw) — Twitter (I vibe) — Discord (I spiral)

[shantechni]

Now that you mentioned it, i hope Syundei is doing alright.

I miss her presence online, but hopefully she's doing much better without being on Twitter. I especially hope her health is good because I've seen people say she'd gotten sick a while back and lost a lot of weight, which would partly explain why Ganbare Nakamura-kun's manga hasn't had an update in a long while.

One of the largest attractions to Syundei's works is her artstyle obviously, but her storytelling is very compelling as well, and she's great at forcing her characters to confront both the best and the worst parts of themselves without the conflicts feeling forced. Idk how to describe it without going full essay and analysis mode (I also just don't have the time as I'm typing this), but the short answer is that I love Syundei's works. I have enough braincells to accept if she chooses not to continue making manga, or at the very least continue Nakamura, yet I'm always wishing she'll make a return someday.

You can talk about this episode's weaknesses as much as you want (really, you can, because even I can't spin most of it's weaknesses into strengths), but some of my favorite scenes in the 03 series come from this episode, one of which being when Al remembers their mom being bedridden and cutting an apple for them.

It's a small moment, and it obviously exists to show how Al sees a maternal side to Clara as she cares for the patients (which is actually a recurring element of his throughout the series), but I like how it adds a bit more substance to that period of time where Ed and Al were doing their best to care for Trisha before she passed. Seeing Clara at work reminded Al of one of the better days when their mom wasn't in a fever induced delirium or struggling to sit up in bed.

why the fuck was the latest episode of Go for it, Nakumura Kun so damn relatable 😭

Seriously. That one scene of Nakumara walking while being surrounded by a bunch of heterosexual couples after learning that Hirose has a girlfriend might be the single most relatable thing I've ever seen. Something like that happens to almost every queer person who's lived in an unaccepting, heteronormative culture (which I'm sure is all of us). Honestly, I hate how relatable this episode was. I hate it, but I love it. I'm not sure what I want the ending of this series to be. God. I literally cried at this episode it was so heartbreaking.

And you always know, deep down, that they're probably never going to actually date you, but it still hurts like hell when it happens. Because you're just a fucking 15 year old who has dreams of falling in love like most other people, the only difference is, you love the same gender.

I've also been exactly here before

You think you're fine with just being friends, but then, they start dating, and your whole world turns upside down. Reading too much into your friendship until you start having hope, and then it being ripped away. It fucking hurts.

Anyways.

I'm sobbing in the corner untill ep 13 comes out 😭

I considered posting something else, but it's been a couple of days since I last shared a wip of ch3, so—

working late at the department of no bitches

"Mom, can we have animated gore like this?"

"No, we have animated gore at home."

The animated gore at home:

I'll be fair to the animators: while I find it very dumb that they couldn't show a gunshot wound to a hand, they did at least manage to show the mechanisms of injury and death as best as they could without being too graphic.

[migo-drone]

In all fairness, the first episode had some pretty good gore when Gabby was chomping villagers. It was a little hard to see but you could see bones of the ribs and the folds in the exposed brain. I checked and that wasn't in the manga so it was added to the first episode.

[shantechni]

Yeah I went on a little rant about that in the tags because it bothers me so much. I wondered if the censors are indecisive about what can and can't be allowed on screen, which is odd since, as you said, we've seen varying degrees of injuries and killings so far and the animators had no problem making their own additions.

I'm more willing to believe there was a serious hiccup with the storyboarding for EP9 that led to a gunshot wound of all things being excluded, but even that's a stretch😑Censoring the two goons getting killed wouldn't be such a big deal to me if they'd just committed to the guy getting a bullet blown through his hand by ex-military member Tadera Ryuu.

Never getting over the way Ed started frowning off-screen the moment Dante started yapping about Hohenheim

"No, we have animated gore at home."

Personally? I would never deny Hiromu Arakawa her right to a short bratty braided blond character in a kickass red coat

[phantomrose96]

Invent a look this iconic and I think you should get to use it in every series.

[phantomrose96]

[kaban-bang]

It was actually her assistants conspiring lmao

[shantechni]

The funniest part to me is the way that she doesn't even believe her assistants are responsible for this. She 100% blames Edward "fictional character who can't directly affect the real world unless made to do so" Elric.
