Do you enjoy torturing me? Decade ot4 my beloved. I could and have written essays on it. On the narrative of defying fate, of declaring personhood in spite of your “role”. Really it was inevitable I watch Utena. They are the only ones in all the worlds who understand each other. Who trust each other.
Speaking of Utena, Touga/Utena/Anthy, my “hear me out”. That one only makes sense to me and only with loop theory. But like, just trust me, I will be filling this theory out in detail in what will likely be a 10k Touga character study and a separate 10k Anthy character study. Across all four canons. God help me.
With the wider lore of the xeno series it is possible that Kamen rider can also exist as a wider force meaning that the real truth is that Fiora is a Kamen rider. Thank you for your time
This is one of the best asks I've ever recieved, thank you
I want you to write Life/Mistume/Maximus threesome you coward
WAIT THREE DAYS SIR—
Okay I didn’t get that far. But like. Life met him. So!
——•——
She can’t help crying when she sees him. Ace was such a mixed up thing - the hoping he’d move on and the hoping she could see him again, hold their baby boy in her arms and tell him it’s okay.
But him? The man she loved enough to create Ace?
He’s warm as she remembers, even when they both at dead, and she leans against his chest.
“You’re… you’re in clothes of this era,” is the first thing she processes, unused to buttons when she rests her head against his chest. Soft and solid as she remembers.
“I figured I should match our son,” he says, his voice bright. “He’s amazing, you know.”
“I think we all know,” a voice says, and Mitsume jumps, clinging to her beloved.
“Who…”
“You can call me Life,” the being says. And something registers inside of Mitsume. A connection. Like the whisper in her mind when she prayed for Ace. “You built your powers from mine. It’s nice to meet the woman who made my son.”
“Oh,” Mitsume says. She looks the other goddess up and down from her knowing red eyes to her pale skin to her soft straight hair. She hastily moves to bow. “It’s nice to meet you.”
Hands take hers. Mitsume blinks.
“Oh, none of that,” Life says. “We’re family. And I’d very much like to get to know you.”
“Ah…” Mitsume says. It’s been so long since she’s spoken to anyone but three little souls… “I’d like that?”
Maximus laughs, wraps his arms around them both.
“How about we start with watching Ace kick Sueru’s ass?” He asks. Life grins, and her face warps to something strange and inhuman. It’s just as beautiful, Mitsume thinks.
“Oh, we are absolutely watching,” Life says. “Would you like to?”
Mitsume leans against her lover, finally returned to her, and looks at the strange woman who claims they are connected.
favorite henshin gimmick: *HOLDS KAMEN RIDER AS A WHOLE*
Least Favorite series: first off: going only off of one's i've Finished
Rider: Faiz,Drive, Hibiki1, And Saber (As a currently running once a week show)
Ultraman: Ultraman X
Sentai: Kyuranger
Garo: Yami o Terasu Mono. -it's the only one i've finished.
oh boy. *clears throat* my opinions can and do change with time and or rewatches, and if a show here is your favorite that's good for you these are my opinions but for currently:
Rider: Faiz, Drive, and Hibiki, and Saber -as a Weekly experience.
Faiz: i knew going in it would frustrate me. i tried to give it the benefit of the doubt, i enjoy inoue as a writer, but not here. -the fanwork for this show is great.
Drive: aged like milk past 2016. -i also Really Really hated Gou, and unfort he's the secondary rider. didn't enjoy it's comedy past a certain point. heart deserved better, as did Kiriko.
Hibiki: another one i knew going in i'd have trouble with, starting from the fact that. no one could summarize this show in a way that sounded painfully boring. -and that was true for me in the first half. i'm sorry hibiki fans nothing happened for 10 eps straight, and the motw stuff was so paint by numbers. i managed to skip ahead by accident at one point and we did not realize for half the ep. i enjoyed the second half more, but by that point there wasn't a lot that could save the show as a whole, though by god inoue and co tried, and tried their best to not lose too many members of the cast according to translations of interviews.
i also. did not really like Hibiki as a character. i just ended up missing Godai.
Saber: i liked this one better on a rewatch, i truly did. but the week to week experience of this one was awful and i'm glad i don't have to do it that way again. it's still not a fav, but it's better than the first viewing.
Ultra: prefacing this with i haven't finished a lot of ultra, list can and will change when i finish more, god i hope, cause i feel bad:
Ultraman X. it just wasn't for me guys, i'm sorry, it also did not help that i'd finished Taiga right before. kickass finale though.
Sentai: I will preface this by saying i have not Finished a lot of sentai either. -in part because i am much more able to forget to come back or drop a show. so this list will very very much change.
Kyuranger: i tried. and i'm fonder of Lucky than most, hell i like him this is not about him. it's just kind of just. off? dunno how to explain it, i also didn't care for stinger that much past his early arc, i'm sorry guys. can explain one thing though, had some of my least liked comedy filler eps. -please let Mouri be head writer on a kamen rider though, cause by god he tried to balance of a cast this large.
oh and it made me experience the double cop hour with the Reboot!Gavan and Dekaranger crossover. -and then put the reboot space sheriffs in the final piece of content.
Have you tried that thing they do with animals who have holes in their esophaguses where they eat upright by being braced in like standing high chair or in an eating sock?
we've tested those kinds of chairs with him at the vet in the past but it's never gone very well, he never got comfortable with it and always focused more on trying to get out than eating the food. it's time-consuming but holding him myself has always worked out with the least amount of issues
