with some help (and some inspiration) from @re-reclass, i managed to put together a video for some of the older incorrect quotes on this blog!

Regarding your question about Phoenix's poses, while nothing is more famous than the pointing animation, he does have another pose that I'd say is decently iconic, but it's arguably a spoiler and doesn't show up in the first game.

I'm not going to ask how a pose can be a spoiler because every time a hidden facet of an established character is emphasized with a new sprite I've gone "🫵🫵🫵❗️❗️❗️" Like yeah believable looking forward to getting there and recognizing it from years of idly reading people's posts and still being stricken because now it has context.

My Dragon Ball hot take is that if you go off of solely Toriyama's original manga Goku is a deeply caring person who loves his family but is not suited to the day-to-day responsibilities of being a family man, and thus really COULD be called a "bad dad".

But also that Toriyama clearly isn't writing a family drama and that would be depressing as hell so I'm happy to accept the filler and fanon that improves the Son family dynamic. People insisting that Goku's a shitty parent should lighten up.

And even if Toriyama is behind the story, I can't accept the way Goku is characterized in Super most of the time because he was never so callous after growing up before.

This is the most reasonable hot take on a topic where goku-goers are very divided LOL, perfect middle ground !!!!

I think people who think goku is a “shitty parent” either have outstanding parents or simply are taking it too seriously, because honestly the series doesn’t give a whole lot of information about his home life, but going by what we DO have is enough to tell me he is a pretty good dad, who takes care of his kids where he is physically able to, if that makes sense.

Half of the series he’s literally just not available to because he’s fucking DEAD (+ does not know something is happening to his kids so cannot just come back to help) so you can’t count that as bad parenting, and the other half of the series, he’s doing what he can to help his kids (and the world) in a world that is quite literally full of villains who are trying to kill them all. If I had to choose between forcing my kid into a situation where they are prepared to fight back vs letting them and everyone else die? Yeah I would want my kid prepped to fight back. For example.

Therefore. I think goku is definitely unconventional in his parenting because there is no room to be a regular dad, and he’s definitely not like 100% good dad either, there are definitely places he could have done better.

And you’re totally right that there simply not enough info on the day-to-day in Toriyama’s canon, and super doesn’t do much good to his character hahaha,,, if all of that was written in, I think Toriyama would not actually write it in a way that is very deep anyways ??

I kinda ended up rambling. Mostly I agree with you, even though I don’t consider him a “bad dad”. I think he’s def not the best one, though.

💥

💥 What is one canon thing that you wish you could change?

Okay, so I'm gonna blanket ban myself from saying 'Mikuru', or 'anything about Mikuru'. I'd like to showcase more of the mundane day-to-day character interactions. Show me Kyon and Haruhi’s morning conversations! Show me them interacting with their classmates by name! I want more of it!

[letyukisayfuck]

5. Out of all your fanworks that include Haruhi, which is your favourite?

ooooh, that's a good question. i think it's hard for me to choose favorites out of my work unless i narrow the criteria; i guess in terms of stuff i've published and things that feel in-character to me personally, it would be when will you learn

i think this is the closest i've gotten in anything finished to replicating the style of the books, though not perfectly

(i honestly feel most comfortable writing from haruhi's pov; so writing kyon's pov when she's around is a challenge, because while i have a perfect understanding of her actions and the reasoning behind them, he almost never completely understands why she's doing what she's doing and so that information just kind of bounces uselessly around in my brain)

(though i am looking forward to getting to the point in my reread i need to be at to finish now say something true and beautiful and it has the same 'this story has haruhi in it but it's not from her perspective' problem that i find so difficult and intriguing)

re: Mavity. In Wild Blue Yonder back in November, the Doctor and Donna run into Isaac Newton, who mishears them joking about gravity, which makes him name the concept mavity instead. The Doctor knows it used to be called gravity, but he uses mavity to avoid confusing his companions.

What a wild choice to start off the Doctor baton pass by retconning the word "gravity" out of existence. Chef's kiss. Love it. Exactly why I watch this nonsense show.

Thanks for the explanation!
