proud victim of the tumblr accent. it's fading out of public consciousness as the tik tok accent takes precedence; a linguistic evolution that makes the tumblr accent 85% funnier to unsuspecting civilians. it's like releasing a disease on a non-inoculated population. coughing baby versus hydrogen bomb.
>no idea what a tumblr accent even is
>”oozes off of me like a thick miasma”
im angry at myself for walking into that so perfectly
I honestly think that TADC killed mascot horror, or at least was the nail in the coffin. It had all of the makings of mascot horror as it begun and dismantled / disarmed every bit of it episode after episode. I don’t know if it was intentional, but it worked.
this stupid fucking image sends me into hysterics every time

I love when someone is explaining instructions to a group I’m in and they look at me and it reminds them to say something about using preferred names/pronouns or that there’s vegan food options available. I go by my given name/pronouns and I’m not vegan but I’m proud that I can provide this service
that’s his little guy!!
I wish I had what they have...
I got a 4 min long video of Kimchi dreaming today, so here's a clip
You get the whole walk cycle and the little sprint at the end.
Sometimes her sprints last for like 4 or 5 seconds and she can shoot herself off the couch or into a wall if she gets a grip with her back claws. If she does it next to a wall, her head smacking into it sounds like someone is trying to break into the house. She doesn't wake up.
Later in the dream she injured her paw and was limping, and earlier she caught something and ate it.
Verso ending: The bittersweet conclusion to a tragic story about coping with loss and grief, and the sacrifices we must make to be a human existing in the world.
Maelle ending: The opening to an existential horror show about the warping of reality, the loss of autonomy, and burying yourself in denial so hard you literally become someone else until it kills you.
Woman in front of me in line at the caffe nero changed my life yesterday when she ordered a prosciutto sandwich but pronounced "prosciutto" like it rhymed with mosquito. "Pruh-squee-toe."
I heard this person say "uhhhh yeah can I get a prosquito sandwich please?" and I knew I'd never be the same. Prosquito. Prosquito. Its everything to me. I haven't been able to stop saying that lmfao. This is my spinch. This is my bagel and creem cheems. This is my ranibow sprimkle.
friends and family are already tired of me going crazy over prosquito but its so special to me
Threading the needle between sexualising problematic power gaps and avoiding the spectre of incest kink by calling my partner "cap'n".
That’s still a problematic power gap, please only date people who are the same military rank as you
In my opinion, there are three main types of anime in reference to Western audiences:
- Gateway animes that allow people who don’t know anything about anime to get accustomed to the genre. This is stuff like Cowboy Bebop, Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, the cyberpunk movies like Ghost in the Shell and Akira, maybe PsychoPass, and I would even say some Gundam arcs. This is stuff that can and should be recommended for people who have never seen an anime. I think the prevalence of the cyberpunk and futuristic genres is explained by the fact that Western audiences are already somewhat accustomed to them in relations to Japan.
- General audience animes, those that everyone thinks of when saying "anime", but are often too big in scope or too mired in their own rules and style for anyone who isn’t use to it. I would say this encompasses stuff like most shonens Dragonball, Naruto, One Piece, My Hero Academia, Attack on Titan, but also any Magic Girl and all isekais.
- Meta-commentating animes, which assume that the viewer is well-versed in the anime culture, and therefore are comfortable with bending or breaking the rules. I would put here stuff like Neon Genesis Evangelion (which has a massive bait-and-switch around it being in part a slice-of-life), Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure (the first part of which ends with the main character dying, which at the time was shocking, and has since basically created its own weird genre standing more or less alone), One Punch Man (although this one is the easiest of meta animes, but it doesn’t make sense without understanding what is being made fun of) and even HxH which is also subverting expectations for a shonen again and again. Oh and I would also put Frieren here because its basically a post-shonen.
I guess it could be possible to identify two different types of meta-commentating animes, those are directly referential to their categories (One Punch Man, Frieren) and those who aim to break it (NGE, JJBA). In any case, these should not be recommended to first time anime watchers imo, they will just not understand the subtext.
