Red Level Trigger Warnings :

1.||Sexual Content depicting Teenagers in the upper-teens demographic.||

2. ||nudity of teenagers in the upper-teens demographic (In the form of actual nudity, sexualized clothing that presents legally distinct nudity, and torn/destroyed clothing implying nudity), ||

3. ||Sexual Abuse towards teenagers in the upper-teens demographic (In the form of rape, Verbal, physical and performative sexual harassment, sexual advances by an a legal adult, kissing without consent, being forced to wear sexualized clothing without consent.)||

4. ||Predation of Teenagers in the upper-teens demographic (One of the only gay characters in the story is also a predator who sexually harasses and molests a teenage boy)||

5. ||Offensive Portrayal of Dissociative Identity Disorder (Presenting it as an explicit Split Personality that can be switched back and forth like a switch using an Eye patch. NOTE: I don't have DID. needs an actual DID voice on the subject)||

6. ||Sexual Assault & Harassment towards adult women (This might be full on rape, but it's been a while since i've read the pages in question to confirm)||

7. ||Parental Abuse caused by Adult Siblings in parental roles (There are both male and female examples of an older sibling that seems to be the teenage sibling's only parental figure giving physical abuse. This ranges from being locked in their bedroom as well as being beaten.||

8. ||Offensively Portraying Homosexuality as Predation (The only two gay men in the story both have cases of sexual abuse or literal predation on them)||

Short Review

Air Gear is about a futuristic new brand of Automotive rollerskates that when modded allow the user to run as fast as cars. Street Gangs use these skates to fight in various turf wars over territory. Our protagonist is a plucky teenage boy who finds out that his adoptive three sisters are all skaters who have their own gang together, and inspired by the freedom the skates give, and letting him virtually fly, he and his friends form their own gang to prove themselves against the other gangs.

While the anime is technically science fiction, the writer's whimsical use of physics is often borderline fantasy, so should be treated more akin to Star Wars. a Fantasy series that uses the trappings of science fiction instead of outright canonizing magic. This whimsical use of science also extends to an (mis)understanding of biology, with the writer often using real medical conditions as flavor dressing for functional superpowers characters might have (an example being a Blood-Gut caused by Obesity giving a character a fresh supply of extra blood they can pump into their body on command to give them enhanced strength and stamina)

The series has otherwise gorgeous art when it is not being horribly offensive towards its underage cast of characters. Some battle art genuinely being some of the best art in shonen manga period. This is sadly poisoned by the fact that to enjoy this fantastic art, you have to sit through the mountain of a list of trigger warnings described above

The anime itself only covers the first half of the manga

Thank you to Honey Ham in the discord for this!!!!!! Yikes though jeez

This is very personally about Zutara for me

[kikizoshi]

Been thinking about Sun's voice lines again, and the "Attention! This carousel is out of service and will require repairs before we open tomorrow. ... That is the end of my instruction! If I had been programmed with the knowledge to fix it, it would've already been done," lines strike me as so funny. 'Cause like. It implies to me that Fazbear cared enough to keep even the briefing material on-brand with animatronic voiceovers, so they had Sun record the carousel how-to because he was associated with it (or associated with Fall Fest which was the closest they could get), but then they didn't actually tell him what to say or how to instruct, just like,

"Hey Sunman come record the maintenance briefing for the carousel."

And Sun's like, "Sure thing!" thinking they're gonna give him a script or something. And then they just. Set him in front of a microphone and say "go." And Sun's irritated 'cause if they're gonna give him a job they should give him something to work with. But they don't. And those lines are what we get. Brief, unhelpful, and very passive-aggressive. It's so funny to me.

Genuinely hilarious how The Pitt fans, apparently, if you go by Ao3 popularity, all looked at Mel and Langdon and went "these two need to go a 10k+ slow burn where they get closer and closer and eventually become each other's most important person in the world" and looked at Abbot and Mohan and went "these two need to FUCK HARD"

Do you have a snoot noodle or other variation of sighthound? If yes, there’s new heart health research for the breed happening!

A researcher at Texas A&M whose work I’m familiar with is starting a new study looking at genetic factors contributing to heart disease in Borzoi and related breeds. They just put out a call for dog owners who are willing to submit saliva samples & (noodle) medical records. Studies like this need a big sample size! They’re accepting new sign-ups starting now until March 1, 2025, for dogs both in the US and internationally.

Let’s help make some science!

From the study page:

“Background and purpose

Recent research in Borzoi dogs has revealed that dogs of this breed experience sudden, unexplained death. About 85% of sudden, unexplained deaths in humans are linked to an underlying heart disease. Our existing research in Borzoi dogs has shown that they are predisposed to developing arrhythmias (abnormal heart rhythms) and dilated cardiomyopathy (a heart muscle disease causing dilated heart chambers and weak pumping function).

Due to our documentation of the frequency of these conditions in Borzoi dogs, we seek to identify responsible genetic variations similar to what is seen in humans with electrical cardiac diseases that trigger arrhythmias and dilated cardiomyopathy.

The objective of our study is to identify genetic mutations associated with heart disease in Borzoi dogs and document their existence in other sighthound breeds.

What happens in this study

We are collecting saliva samples from both healthy Borzoi and Borzoi dogs affected with arrhythmias and/or dilated cardiomyopathy. We will also collect saliva samples from any other sighthound breeds.

We will extract DNA from these samples and perform genomic sequencing on a select number while retaining the remainder for further screening.By analyzing the sequencing data, we can compare the genes of healthy and affected Borzoi dogs and identify variants linked to their heart conditions. We will also compare the findings in Borzoi dogs to results from other sighthound breeds.

Pet owner responsibilities

A swab kit will be sent to you for at home use along with a link to an instructional video on how to properly obtain a swab of the mouth. The kit will contain equipment to collect the saliva swab, a history form for your pet, a client consent form and a shipping label to return samples to us.

Participation requirements

To participate, you must have a Borzoi dog or a sighthound breed that is either healthy or affected by arrhythmias and/or dilated cardiomyopathy. Pets may be any age or sex. Electronic or paper veterinary medical records will need to be provided.

Benefits and risks of participating

There is little to no risk for taking a brief swab of the mouth for saliva collection if procedures outlined in the video are followed. No individual genetic test results will be provided to study participants.

Compensation

There is no cost to the owner for participating in this study. No compensation will be provided.”
