top 10 strongest airbenders

this list is tough. we don’t see many airbenders at all throughout the show. but ive ranked all the other elements, so here’s this list now!

let’s go

*gyatso*- i dont want to put a nunber next to his name because i have 0 concrete evidence as to where he would rank. if i had to guess i feel like he’d be 2-3? but i just can’t put him there based off vibes alone lol. with that being said, i still have to give him credit. there is no number 10 lol sorry.

9. bumi- yeah he kinda sucks as an airbender lmao. i loveeeee bumi and to be so honest i really really REALLY wish he had stayed a nonbender. it was such an important part of his character and what made him so interesting. but alas he has to be an airbender. boring lame boo!!!!! but he does do a few cool things. good job bumi.

8. opal- boringggg snoozeeeee. i don’t really like opal. but she airbends which is cool. i dont remember her doing anything significant at all as an airbender though lol. maybe that’s on me because i dont care about her character so i just forgot, but from what i remember she’s a good airbender, just nothing special.

7. kai- kind of a similar situation to opal where he doesn’t seem to be special but i will say i think him and airbending compliment each other very well. he naturally is able to utilize airbending which is honestly reminiscent of aang to me a tiny bit. obviously he’s not on his level at all but the vibes are still there! but yeah other than natural ability he doesn’t have anything else of note imo. it’s kinda like he just plateaus after the timeskip i feel like? idk i shoulve made these lists immediately after my most recent rewatch lol.

6. meelo- hate him HAHAHAHA sorryyyyyyy. his fart stuff is so annoying. however i think its obvious that all of tenzins kids are great airbenders and it comes pretty naturally to them. so yeah all three are excellent he is just the least impressive to me.

5. ikki- i loveeeeeeee ikki omg. but she’s very similar to meelo to me in that she is clearly naturally gifted and practically a master airbender but i don’t remember her doing anything really impressive that would make her any higher. she gets to be higher than meelo because i like her way more and she doesn’t fartbend. congrats ikki!

4. zaheer- im kind of annoyed that he’s this high. like he should not be that good of an airbender but here he is i guess. he gave almost everybodyyyyy a run for their money during his season and was kicking lots of ass. idk why he’s so good, i guess because he was spiritually connected to airbending before he became an airbender, but he definitely is amazing. mf can fly which no one else can do. also the way he killed the earth queen was awesomeeeee! wish more airbenders could be more unhinged. but yeah he can’t be higher bc he lacks a fuck ton of experience.

3. jinora- people argue she’s the best airbender in tlok and ok she mightttt beeeee because of her spiritual abilities, but i do think she lacks some combat skills and experience. with that being said though her spiritual abilities make her insanely op. im just saying like if u average out her impeccable spiritual skills with her just good combat skills, she gets number 3 imo. but she is obviously a master who earns her tattoos at such a young age so that’s why she’s here! also i think in her adulthood she will surpass her dad, but she aint there yet!

2. tenzin- gonna get his con out of the way first, he has little to no spiritual connection. which i dont think is a HUGE detriment but it is a detriment nonetheless and it’s why i also kinda flip flop between him and jinora and who i think is the better airbender. but today, for me, it’s tenzin. what he lacks in spiritual ability he makes for in strength, agility, technique, IQ, skill, utilization, and literally any other feat you could think of. remember when he was making zaheer look like an absolute amateur? that was awesome. yeah he is the best airbender that isn’t an avatar in the whole series.

1. aang- LOLLLL im not following my own rulessss butttttt idc. there arent many airbenders to choose from anyways and for a majority of the first book we really only know aang as an airbender anyway soooo im bending my rules lol. i dont feel any need to give a big fat response. he is not like any airbender we ever see throughout the entire show and it is not even close.

[twerlint]

oh OH DO WE WANNA GO?

the dialogue that would result from this...

the absolutely beeeee-aUTIFUL art the supergiant team could conjure...

I HAVE MADE A SMALL LIST OF OUTFITS THAT WOULD ACT LIKE KEEPSAKES IF YOU INCREASE A RELATIONSHIP ENOUGH

Hypnos: "Weighted Blanket Cape" : reduces movement but causes less damage in the back

Cerberus: "Spiked Belt" (It was a collar but the dread prince's neck is too small for it) : close proximity to enemies while dashing will cause slashing damage

Charon: "Stygian Hat of Shades... hah" : Larger hitbox but thrown projectiles from above give less damage.

"Oh hello boss! It seems like my private associate has given you quite Ithe accessory. I'd say keep it in tip top shape, or I might have to deliver that with more than just a heartfelt sorry."

Orpheus: "Merry Minstrel" (... it's a clown outfit): Makes you more prone to traps... cartoon physics but! ✨cartoon physics✨ aka. enemies who fall out of the bounds will be able to levitate before falling to their doom

Dionysus: "Party Rockers in the House TONIGHT(?)" (A silk croptop that is cut completely open in the back with a gold chain keeping it all together... business in the front, party in the back): More damage when attacked from behind... but increases movement and better chances at dodging whilst dashing.

Poseidon: "Hot Girl Summer(?)... wait what's summer?" (A combination of bright hawaiian shirt with a speedo): Better at dodging, more damage to Zagreus if exposed to lava

Aphrodite: "Look Like a Girl, Think Like a Guy" (A combination of a cloud covering his body or booty shorts that read "my eternal punishment on the back): Takes more damage but makes higher chances of good boons. Also (shoutout to my friend), idle animations have the cloud around his parts. If you're idle for too long, it disappears and shows off the shorts or he does the "birth of venus" pose

Asterius: honestly did not think of one but... I can feel Theseus getting shocked and going

"You- you sly BLACKARD, how dare you rob my dear Asterius of his noble garb. What monstrous intentions does a dread wretch like you have with wearing it?"

"Um- style?"

Hermes: "Shoes with Wings? Now that IS Awesome!": Added faster dash movement and has Charon make a comment along the lines of "Huhngghhh~" in a loving way

Sisyphus: "Bould-ed to the Ground": Reduces movement... but in a flow state allows you to make close enemy dashes with extra damage.

... Bouldy: "... I got a rock": a random amount of rocks you can use to distract enemies.

Every Hades encounter with a new accessory starts off with a variation of:

"What does my son pick up on his misadventures? Do you wish to hold onto keepsakes that you will inevitably lose in the blood?"

"*angry huff* "they. are. called. TRINKETS. FATHER. AND I WILL CHOKE THE LIFE OUT OF YOU WITH GRANDMA'S SWEATER" (Zagreus' sprite appears with a HIGH-turtle neck with a large cute pattern of people dying of the cold and starving)

I think Hades would be the best game of all time if there was a dress-up feature.

In this essay I will explain how dressing up Zagreus in stupid armor/ Nyx's dresses would be benef-

for baby visenya

👑

there was a while when i was like ‘they need more children’ but the five they have are so perfect soooooo satisfaction is at maximum level. besides, rhaenyra NEEDS do be queen now and she can do that easier without everyone being like ‘oh, no, your condiiititititition! shouldn’t you beeeee in bed?!’ like she hasn’t been pregnant five times before.

i do anticipate daemon and rhaenyra becoming grandparents however because it was stolen from all of us! like daemon will very much enjoy that.

not saying this is how it’s gonna or anything (bc in popcorn we trust to give us some awesome endings) but i could totally see rhaenyra holding her daughters’ hands while they’re giving birth (if daemon ever lets a man near them lol).

like bonding moment, especially with visenya….

i could also see her with daenaera and being redolent of laena.

now i’m spiraling but i see like daenaera having daeron and daemon would obviously be pleased af (and probably think daeron was named after him lol)

aegon and daenaera: we are naming him daeron after daenaera’s father.

daemon: omgggggg they named their child after meeeeeee (very ooc but still)

and daemon and daena moments would be legendary mhmmmmmm

i could also see him whipping aegon iv’s ass if he was unfaithfully for naerys…which likely wouldn’t happen tho bc rhaenyra would be like ‘uh no’

bonus:

daemon: i can’t not believe they did not each name their sons daemon and daemion! the pest and his little friend.

rhaneyra: 🙄

sorry for rambling!

Baby Visenya 👑👑👑👑👑👑

I so get you! I just feel it's right for Visenya to remain the baby of the family.

Like I feel all my problems disappear when I look at this face:

Btw to anyone wondering this is part of "The Daughters of the Rogue Prince" that I commissioned from the AMAZING Lupotterdraws like go give her a follow if you haven't already!

I will be honest XD I can't see Daemon old... I just can't; like his kids don't have the ability to reproduce yet so I am still enjoying his days as Daddy Daemon and not Granddaddy Daemon X'D he's too hot to grow old!

In other news... do we consider the Sea Snake a DILF? Because he do be a granddady (and daddy as well but shh 🤫)

[foxtriestobiteandmaimandkilland]

When you get this you have to answer with 5 things you like about yourself, publicly. Then, send this ask to 10 of your favorite followers (no pressure, but positivity is cool) <3

ty for sending this :)

I’d say. for myself. 

I like my imagination a lot bc its rlly fun when i can come up w stories a load just on the spot. and even if sometimes it can get the better of me and i end up coming up w lies abt my life, i still like it bc stories r very fun to think of. and can come in handy when a group of ppl r bored i suppose.

another thing would be. my hands. ik it sounds dumb and weird but a couple ppl actually complimented them and said they look. surprisingly masc. and i like that. and also idk it feels like they r just special bc of fuckin. symbolism n stuff or whatever. and bc they get SO many cat scratches its like im carrying my cat around w me.

a third thing could beeeee. My ability to notice small details ig ??? Like. I will COMPLETELY miss the big picture but atleast i noticed smth small and cool. Like for example. Put me in the middle of fucking hell or smth and before i realise where i am id probably find a cool leaf or smth idk. Or for example this morning i saw a leaf that was hanging from a spider web and the way it was set it made it genuinely look like it was floating it was awesome.

Number four would beee. The fact i am able to befriend a lot of cats sometimes. Because ive always lived with cats so ik how to act around them. And also cats r very cool. I think. And i like noticing little things abt their behaviour like when their tails do the thing where theyre straight upright bc theyre happy and they do the little trot towards u and r all adorable n whatever.

And finally number five. Err. My obsession w colours and their meanings. To me. I think.

[thelasttimeyoueversawme]

agave, cactus and key lime!

Thank you beeeee 💜

Agave: what’s your favorite time of day?

Mid afternoon when the sun is bright and you can feel the warmth on your face

Cactus: how would you describe the last photo you’ve taken?

Silly! I took a screenshot of me and my sister making funny faces on ft

Key lime: do you have a quirky catch phrase?

I don’t think so? I do say awesome a LOT though maybe I should steal the nickname captain awesome!

[honiemun]

fuck it, I'm bored at work

EDIT, i just realized I think you're supposed to be given a number from the ask pile? Woops I answered them all anyways

1. NieR: Automata, ending [B]

2. Pizza Tower, Fortnite (i know i know)

3. Hi-Fi RUSH fucks so good!!!!

4. Not really? I mean, if the game is VEEEEERY good I might consider it

5. Zelda Tears of the Kingdom Bay Beeeee!! Game Of the Year Every Year

6. Can I be boring and just say mainline Mario platformers

7. I'm losing more and more interest in Animal Crossing day after day. Look how they massacred my boy

8. I keep telling myself I'll play the Persona games someday. I don't think it's gonna happen guys

9. Undertale. I just heard there was a character that talked in Comic Sans font and went, holy shit I need to check this out

10. I wouldn't be opposed to getting a PS5 sometime. A Gameboy Advance would be an awesome find, I loved playing that thing through emulators way back when

11. I'm more of a blank slate kinda person. Personality can always shine through, I'm just not a huge fan of massive exposition dumps. Lemme vibe

12. I like that brick shaped rat :)

13. Trainwreck of Electro Swing (A Hat in Time)

14. Credits (Super Mario World)

15. I mean, do Game Pass and Steam wishlists count? If so then kinda, but I don't keep track of it. Feels like a chore.

16. I'm halfway through my third annual playthrough of Bowser's Fury. I'm coming back for it sometime for sure

17. Psychonauts! God has that game aged. Really good, just can't bring myself to pick it back up

18. Can I live in Stardew Valley please and thank you

19. Have I mentioned Hi-Fi RUSH yet. Look it's on the mind a ton okay

20. No idea. Does Rhythm Heaven have bosses

21. Eve from NieR Automata is bullshit AND underwhelming as fuck

22. OneShot. I don't think I can bring myself to do a second playthrough. Sorry little buddy

23. Insane fucking combos in Super Mario Odyssey

24. I've yet to play it but I always thought Okami looked pretty awesome

25. None because I love art and styles

26. Stylized all the way baby

27. Splatoon has such an awesome setting honestly. So much history and style packed into a multiplayer shooter, it's crazy

28. I wouldn't start with City Folk today... Pick up Animal Crossing: New Leaf if you like life simulation, or New Horizons if you're the kind of person that creates Sims then never plays as them

29. Multiple ish? Depends if I even have the free time for them, these days. I leave most games unfinished anyways

30. Pizza Tower, one hundred percent

31. Depends! If it's like, my parents or my grandma, boot up Wii Sports or a fitness game. If it's a young ish person who's really eager to learn, any low stakes game will do. At risk of sounding basic, I would say a platformer, to get them accustomed to a controller?

Video Game Asks!

Adding my own pool of asks about video games because I always like to talk games and asks are fun. Send numbers, reblog for yourself etc.

Okay guys (mainly gals but you know wtf I mean), I just got back from RAMIN KARIMLOO ❤❤❤ The Herbst is a very intimate venue (very pretty too, I wish I'd had a chance to take pics before the show) and there was an usher literally right in front of me so I daren't trying anything that would get me booted from the show (much as I love you guys and wanted to be obliging....No) However I DID manage 2 audio files, one of Old Man River and the other of him and Seth doing Confrontarion (Seth was the gayest Javert OMG) during their encore but I can only share them via email or FB messenger, no option to share on social media, unfortunately. (And Google Drive) So if you're interested (Confrontation was especially amazing) PM me and we'll see what can be done.

So, sadly I was LATE due to the utter incompetence and sloven of an Uber driver (ohhhh I was LIVID), but I think they'd just been chatting up till then. Their banter was very amusing. Kind of an old married couple vibe, I loved it. Ramin would be telling theatre stories and Seth would ask "So what went wrong?" He wanted to know like three times and Ramin eventually just said, "You're really morbid!" 😂

The first song they did was 'Summer Nights' from Grease with audience participation, mainly the female parts, so... I was just beaming the whole time and going "I'm singing with Ramin fucking Karimloo omg yes I sure am this is a DREAM" We also did "Pirate King" but me and like...three other people knew Pirates of Penzance? My husband was like "honey, I don't think you're sposed to be singing so loud" but then Seth encouraged everyone to sing along and he was like "oh." LOL It was a blast! I learned some things too, like how he doesn't know how to read music (I only can read treble cleff for clarinet, piano and kinda violin but I pretty much do everything by ear), and how LND was actually written around his voice. So cool!

I didn't know all the songs he sang but they included:

Anthem, Sunset Boulevard, Music of the Night (he did great with this one, a lot of pressure was on him to do so, I'm sure. It was a shortened version, cutting out the whole "close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar" verse, but he did the infamous "BEEEEE" excellently; he always does but to hear it live, to FEEL the vibration of it surround me.... *shivers* What I found really interesting is how he channeled Colm Wilkinson, who he'd been discussing at length. I could definitely hear Colm's influence peeking through the Ramin voice we all know and love, which I thought to be a touching and potentially subconscious homage to a beloved friend and father figure), Till I Hear You Sing (which I was thrilled about, however he used a bit too much of his twangy Bluegrass voice for my taste, though it was still wonderful. I adore how great he is at sounding soft and sweet for one line and then just belting out the next line so powerfully, ah! So good!), Bring Him Home (as gorgeous as it was, I've definitely heard him sing it stronger before. He shortened a lot of the notes, which are admittedly quite long, hence my trouble when I try singing it. He couldn't sustain some of the quieter higher notes as well as usual. He made a comment earlier about how lately when he does some of Valjean's high notes such as "fliiiiiigggghhht" at the end of his Soliloquy and the "one" when he sings "24601", he's been getting dizzy 😞 I was thinking, "sounds like a pressure thing" and then someone from closer up in the audience shouted "pressure!" out when he asked "what could that be?" I hope he gets that worked out, poor dear), and I didn't know a couple of the songs' names, at all. And he had his guitar, not his banjo. And the song they sang for the finale was one I did not recognize but they gave a shout-out to the Blue Wave and (largely) successful results of yesterday's election, which was AWESOME.

The encore was great, I especially loved Confrontation, which Seth had jokingly been referencing throughout, but when they actually started doing it I was thrilled. At one point when Ramin sings "I have strength within me yet" he strips off his jacket and kinda flexes his muscles and Seth tries to get him to take off his shirt too but, much to my chagrin, he did not. I was laughing my ass off, so much fun! OH and he made a comment?joke? about not wanting to sing anymore and I was like "Oh you better be kidding, my friend!"

Sorry, my thoughts are kind of jumbled and rambly but I hope at least a few of you can appreciate this post. I had a great time, even though I was late and sitting in the balcony. There were quite a few empty seats around us so we got moved up a row or two, and the theatre is pretty small, as I said earlier, so I could see him quite well. He was beautiful ❤ And he so rarely comes to San Fran, so I'm really honoured to have gotten to go.

And it was a charity concert, the benefits helped AIDS victims. So, yay! 😁

If anyone has questions, please feel free to submit an ask! I'll be happy to answer to the best of my ability.

Describe the scariest dream you can remember? I definitely don’t want to recall the most terrifying, but my most recent nightmare is that I accidentally (I think it was accidental?) drove off the side of a mountain and my car was upside down and I was bleeding really bad for so long. I remember passing out in my dream and waking up supposedly like a few days later and I knew Kile, my mom, my siblings, and some rangers were looking for me and I knew Kile was close cus I could hear him calling for me frantically. I went to call for him because the car was covered by trees, but when I went to open my mouth I couldn’t make any sounds come out. I just sobbed and sobbed but it was silent and then I couldn’t hear him anymore. So it was like I knew I was dying.

Things like: :) :( :D :P :L D: :) :/ :] Are you a musical sort of person? I mean, are you musically talented? Errrr… I can play an instrument that I don’t enjoy. I do not know how to play the instruments I love. How did you break the first phone you broke? My friend at the time asked to hold it when we went out to eat at BWW. I had this really tiny, awesome music phone. He had these big beefy hands and when he went to grab it from me, it slid out of his hands and plopped right into a glass of ice water. It was … awful.

Escaping one Fate (Landing in Another) (Part 2)

Note: This is very much inspired by @circateas who is awesome, with awesome headcannons. 

Here is the first part: Here.

Don’t own Cuphead. Just Gwen!

The Devil’s Casino was certainly... something else. Very bright, very loud, just generally very much. No matter where she turned her head, it always seemed like something was happening, from the yelling of both the victorious and miserable, to even just general fighting actually going on, it was a bit much to take in. Not to mention the sheer amount of feeling everywhere. It was as if everywhere in this place was just filled to the brim with every emotion imaginable, going through every range she ever knew and then some she didn’t.

It was like being on the battle field again honestly; maybe that was why she felt so at home here. 

Shaking her head, she took one last chance to straighten herself at the side, before fully throwing herself into the frey. Following the sense of hunger and tiredness, she admittedly got turned around a few times before she found the Devil’s food Court and Bar.

Looking at how professional all the staff and even some of the other patrons were, it wasn’t hard to feel a bit self conscious of her own worn appearance. If she hadn’t seen some come in looking even worse then her, she would have probably never even dared to enter the place, worried they would throw her out. And while she did get a few looks here and their from some of the more high class customers, she otherwise was left alone, the staff treating her no differently then the others.

It was... nice honestly.

After a quick look around, and judging all the exits, she made her way to the bar, her powers helping her hop up onto one of the stools, she used it once more to put a menu before her.

“Hey ya, can I get anything for ya to drink?” was asked, the voice a bit aged, but still rather pleasant to listen to, made her look up and over to the speaker.

They seemed to be a rather aged rum bottle, their droopy eyes friendly in a interestingly mustached face with matching eyebrows. His name tag also showed that his name was Rum, the irony which she could appreciate. She didn’t feel anything negative about them, so nodded.

“I would like a water please.” She asked, her voice soft but firm as she did.

“Right away!” and with that, the bottle man was gone, leaving the Pawn to her menu once more. After a bit of thought, she decided to splurge just a bit, and get the breakfast platter; not only would it hold her over for the day, it really did sound good... and she missed hot meals.

And no sooner then her closing the menu, then the bartender come back, still looking as friendly as ever even as he handed her a water.

“Know what ya want now?”

“Ah, yes; I would like one breakfast platter, please.”

“Coming right up!”

She had tasted heaven. No other way to describe it, she has indeed tasted what only the gods themselves have ever tasted, and somehow she has managed to get this small bit of ambrosia for herself.

... The Breakfast Platter was really good.

Sighing a bit, she took another delious bit of bacon, a slight smile on her face even as she chewed, looking around almost absentmindedly. That’s when she saw it.

Want to have a Devil of a Time? Work on his Dime!

                  Now hiring for Dealers!

... Could she really be that damn lucky?

Taking one of the flyers under the add, she looked it over carefully.

Maybe today was finally looking up for her.

Unknowing to the little pawn, Fate was about to send her through one interesting crash course.

“YOU *beep*! I KNOW YOU ALL *beep*-ing Cheated!” Was nearly roared throughout the casino, making Gwen frown as she turned to face the dark intentions.

It was only because she felt the horror that she manged to dodge the body thrown in her direction.

Her food, unfortunately, wasn’t so lucky.

Staring at the wonderfully done eggs, toast that had the butters so perfectly melted, hash browns that were crispy to a tea, and the crunchy bacon from her dreams on the floor, the pawn took a deep breath.

She was okay, she still got to enjoy a little of it, no need to get really upset. Losing food because of idiots was something she was used to, she didn’t have to worry about i-

...

...

Did... did this... they really did.

“Come any closer, I warning you, and this pipsqueak gets it.” was said by what seemed to be a car horn, honking slightly at the end as he put what seemed to be an oddly shaped gun to her face. Before her, she can see what are obviously some bouncers, real big guys surrounding them as they warily took in the situation.

... They really did... They are holding her hostage...

“... I like to think I can handle myself rather well.” She said quietly, even as she gritted her teeth.

“EH, what that runt-beeeee.” the horn started, only to be cut off by a slivery glow surrounding him, which seemed to be crushing him.

“However... I have my limits.” Gwen stated, letting her power guide her down to the floor, even as it forced the horn to eat dirt. The minute she was in the clear, the security immediately were on the guy, even if they were having some difficulty getting him off the floor thanks to her ability. with a sigh, she let her power go, stooping it from crushing the horn anymore as well as shoving him into the floor.

Turning to the bartender, the rum bottle, she nodded to him, making her realize her hair had come out of her bun as she did. “I’m sorry for the scene I may have cause.”

That got her some raised eyebrows. “... Considering the situation, no apologies are needed... You still looking for a job?”

That made her blink. “Yes?”

“...Come on then, Bettigan should have the time for your interview; he’ll be able to work with one of the others to see the best fit with ya.” and with that, Rum took the lead, one of the other Bartenders covering for him.

Blinking, a bit surprised, she followed behind, wondering what life would have in store for her now.

(So much.)

Awesome idea! You should give it a shot :)

Hey kinksters def do play with drugs so it’s not that far off lol. Although tbh I think Irene would be able to instantly spot the stories from Janine as fake since Irene has *actually* been intimate with Sherlock lol. This is so great though!! Love it!

Thank you! Actually in the fic, Irene knows that Janine’s stories are fake, she’s just teasing Sherlock. Also, I think she’s a little jealous, so she’s punishing him too, in a way. She would know. I’m glad you liked it, though!

THE GREAT CRUNCHYROLL NARUTO REWATCH Bugs Out in Episodes 148 - 154!

  Welcome to the Great Crunchyroll Naruto Rewatch! I'm Paul Chapman, and I'll be your host this week as we make our way through all 220 episodes of the original Naruto. Last week, we broke out of Ninja Jail with baka-brothers Fujin and Raijin and witnessed Mizuki unveiling his public fursona in Episodes 141 - 147. This week, we continue with a bug hunt of epic proportions and a mission to free a mining town from the predations of a clan of maniacal murderers in episodes 148 - 154.

  It's a week of strong openings and questionable conclusions as we continue to wade hip-deep through the filler arcs, where the animators did their own thing while giving Masashi Kishimoto and the Naruto manga a chance to catch up. We saw some cool character development and interesting villains, but can the series keep up the pace, or will our hopes go splat like a bug on a windshield? 

  Two of our valiant shinobi are currently off on their own secret missions, but let's see what the rest of the Crunchyroll Features team thought of this week's episodes!

    One of my objections to the last batch of filler was that the writers didn't give Naruto and company any clues for tracking down Orochimaru and Sasuke, so the plot felt like it was just fluttering about. These episodes give the group a smaller goal that ties to the larger one. Does the hunt for the Bikochu feel more substantial as a result, or is it still filler all the way down?

  Kevin: It’s definitely filler, and filler with an unsatisfying resolution at that, but my main complaint was the same as in the previous batch. I wish that the bigger plot wasn’t being shoved into the filler arcs. Since the plot isn’t going to advance until Shippuden, we know that any arc dealing with gathering information about Orochimaru and Sasuke will end in failure. Just take out Orochimaru, have the mission be from some generic client and change nothing else. Suddenly the filler arcs can have actual tension, since we don’t know how they will turn out.

  Carolyn: I hated this arc so much. I would go back to Land of Tea in a heartbeat. The whole thing felt very contrived, sort of pointless, and I could have done without the ending completely.

  Joseph: I was okay with this filler for the most part, and I kind of liked learning about the Great Bug Wars of the past. The end gag rendered it totally pointless and made it the absolute definition of filler, though, so I shan’t be fooled again.

  Danni: I mostly liked the bug-catching arc, but they’re dooming all these filler arcs to pointlessness by trying to tie them all to finding Sasuke. The mission failing because Naruto farted completely undercut what had been a great set of episodes.

  Noelle: 100% still filler. This was definitely weird, because it felt like we were getting something that’s still filler but relatively substantial, but nope, it threw that tone out the window. I wish they’d commit to the something if they’re going a particular route.

  Jared: It’s still filler, but at least it kind of went in a different direction than look at what Orochimaru’s done this time. It probably would’ve been a fine arc if the end of it didn’t happen, but at the same time you can’t give them an overpowered item like a bug that can find Sasuke in the midst of the filler.

    Although they can't progress the main story, filler arcs can give more screen time to supporting characters, such as Shino and Hinata. How do you feel about Shino's leadership in hunting the Bikochu compared to Shikamaru's leadership in the Sasuke retrieval mission? Does seeing a wide range of personality types and strategies appeal to you, or does it drive you buggy?

  Kevin: Shino’s never been one of my favorite characters, so I’m tepid on him as a leader, especially since his leadership style is mostly to let people do whatever, until they do something wrong and he orders them to stop. Shikamaru might not have given all of the details, but both the characters and audience could tell that all of his plans were well thought out. In general though, I quite like seeing more development for the minor characters, even if I don’t necessarily like the characters themselves. It’s exactly what I asked for last week!

  Carolyn: I felt like overall the leadership was pretty directionless. But that’s very likely because the mission itself had no direction. I do like seeing other characters fleshed out more, though.

  Joseph: Shino feels like the kind of person who doesn’t communicate orders well but still expects everyone to know exactly what to do and how to stay in line. I’m not a big fan of him as a character, but I like his powers. I much preferred seeing more of Hinata.

  Danni: Let’s just say Shino needs to work on his communication a bit. I am glad that we’re getting to see more characters in action through the filler, especially Hinata. She basically got the development Sakura didn’t get in the earlier filler.

  Noelle: I think it’s good to showcase different types of leadership, because for the most part, Shikamaru did things pretty well. Shino, by comparison, is much less effective, and I think we needed that contrast. Not everything has to, or should, go smoothly. Also, isn’t everyone like… 13 or so? Having efficient leadership skills that young is pretty rare.

  Jared: I’m glad we’re seeing a bunch of the other characters get some time to shine as the filler becomes Naruto’s journeys with his pals. I kind of liked Shino’s leadership in regards to Naruto because he was just straightforward with him and direct in a way that tried to find a way to make him think more rationally than just going full speed at all times. I wouldn’t say he’s a great leader, but he seemed to know how to reign in Naruto at times which is effective.

    Aside from her duel with Neji during the Chunin Exams, Hinata hasn't done much that is buzz-worthy yet. How do you feel about Hinata's treatment here? Does her dedication to training and her progress in mastering new Jutsu skills counterbalance her being kidnapped and taken hostage by bees?

  Kevin: Hinata is one of the characters that always seems to be kind of weak, at least compared to the people around her, but then either through willpower or a new technique shows how awesome she can be. The kidnapping didn’t even bother me much, since it fed directly into her development for the arc and led directly to her saving the rest of the team.

  Carolyn: I don’t mind the bees! Bring on the bees! But I hate the fact that yet another girl on this show is trying to better herself to impress and/or keep up with a boy.

  Joseph: BEEEEES! I thought Hinata was handled decently here, though I can see what Carolyn means by her motivation. I did like the fact that she broke herself free from captivity.

  Danni: I don’t mind her getting kidnapped considering she gets free entirely of her own ability and single-handedly saves the day. Now she just needs to learn how to fight bees by doing sick revolver tricks.

  Noelle: Like everyone said, I didn’t mind her being kidnapped because she takes action instead of being helpless. The end result may be clunky, but that’s because Kishimoto’s source material leaves a gap between some characters, so some ‘catch-up’ will unfortunately happen.

  Jared: I’m glad she was able to get some time to show off her improvement and cool new skills since she’s been MIA basically since the Chunin Exams. Although, like others have said, her reasoning of wanting Naruto to just look in her direction is a bummer.

    Last week we discussed how cartoonish Mizuki felt and how his backstory didn't need to be linked to Orochimaru. This week we've got two new sets of villains: a group of insect-master shinobi who want to restore their fallen clan's glory, and a group of gold-hungry, cackling psychopaths who bury people alive for fun and profit. What's your take on these new villains? Are either of them the bee's knees?

  Kevin: The bee villains could’ve been pretty good, but the arc felt much more like it was Hinata’s story. The clan rivalry was mostly good window dressing, and the main plot had the problem I mentioned earlier where Naruto needed to fail so that he didn’t accidentally find Sasuke too early. The other group were obviously just pure evil, but I was completely fine with that. Especially in filler arcs, the writing can get away with the occasional “evil for evil’s sake” type of villain. Then we learned about Ranmaru the bag child, and my interest plummeted.

  Carolyn: Man, I loved the creepy as heck funeral cult villains. There was some very, very accurate emotional abuse going on there, “I remember those good times” when referencing the villager’s loyalty. Messed up stuff.

  Joseph: Shotgunning all of this filler at once is kind of like rushing to complete all the side quests in a game before taking on the final boss. It’s cool to see the expanded world but you know at the end of the day you’re just running bread and milk errands for everyone. Thematically, I’m more into the funeral cult villains. I didn’t really think they lived up to their potential, but the whole living funeral thing was cool. Honestly, I was just glad to see some villains that weren’t driven by Orochimaru’s vile promises for once.

  Danni: While I wouldn’t go so far as to say they’re good villains, the bee clan at least had understandable motives instead of an unquenchable thirst for blood and hunger for Frosted Flakes like Mizuki there at the end. Raiga though...oof. I’ll admit, I’m very into the whole funeral cult thing. It feels like a setup that would fit well in the dark and absurdly humorous world of Golden Kamuy. Then they revealed Ranmaru to the world and their backstory felt so wooden and nonsensical that if you told me it was written by an AI that had been forced to watch the Zabuza arc 10,000 times and told to recreate it I would believe you.

  Noelle: I don’t think they’re exactly good villains, but they are a touch different than what we’re used to seeing so far. If everyone’s motivations ended up being the same (i.e. power or Orochimaru), things would start to get dry pretty fast. Some variety is good, even if the end results are debatable.

  Jared: I thought the bee group was probably the best we’ve seen thus far throughout the filler. Their backstory felt like you could’ve seen them in the non-filler as just one off villains rather than some of the others we’ve seen. Raiga and Ranmaru were just super weird in a good way. It kind of broke down when it basically just decided to parallel Haku’s story from the beginning, but having Naruto and pals try and stop a weird funeral cult is kind of wild in a way I wasn’t expecting.

    The scenario with Raiga and Ranmaru directly references the earlier story arc with Zabusa and Haku. Do you expect the conclusion of this arc to evoke similar emotions, or are the writers just droning on about their previous work?

  Kevin: I expect that they are trying to pay homage and hoping to pull off another emotional scene, but I highly doubt that it’ll work. Zabuza was a mercenary who took in a child with special powers as something to train into a tool to fight for him, and Haku was an orphan dying in the snow who grew attached to the first person to actually aid him. We got to know them via a few scenes spread throughout the arc. Raiga is a psychopath who buries people alive because he thinks funerals are great who picked up a child because the child somehow knew about his past, and Ranmaru has a poorly defined sickness and even more poorly defined powers that seem to give him something close to omnipotence. We learned about Ranmaru as he exposed his backstory to the team, and we will likely finish this arc next week. It’s not impossible to illicit the same kind of emotional response as Zabuza dying next to Haku, but it’ll be really difficult since Raiga and Ranmaru simply don’t have as much character development as the original pair, and don’t have as much time to develop their relationship.

  Carolyn: Zabuza was undoubtedly abusive but had some kind of attachment to Haku. Raiga does not have any attachment to Ranmaru. Raiga only cares that Ranmaru is obedient. The second that changes, it’s all over.

  Joseph: I appreciate the callback but I don’t expect much of a payoff. Actually, ever since Naruto’s fart finale I’m just going to go into these arcs knowing the conclusions will be dissatisfying. Naruto at this moment is very Saturday morning cartoon, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it’s not where I’m going to go for emotional highs and lows until it’s back on track.

  Danni: This isn’t even close to approaching the emotional heights of that arc with Haku and Zabuza. I’m still struggling to make sense of the whole Raiga/Ranmaru situation. This kid is just totally fine with Raiga killing his entire village, somehow knows everything about Raiga, and on top of that just...lives inside a sleeping bag? It felt like I was trying to watch that episode with a raging fever.

  Noelle: It was an attempted copy, but it didn’t work. It’s hard to pull off good emotional payoffs with filler, but especially so if the core is missing from the material. Zabuza and Haku mutually cared about each other, which is why the ending felt so heart-wrenching, whereas Raiga and Ranmaru just feel kind of there? Different emotional setups won’t work in the same kind of payout.

  Jared: I’d say it’s more of them being like hey look at this thing we did before, remember that?! We’ve certainly already seen it happen before in the filler and I doubt this will be the end of it, but it definitely doesn’t hit the same emotional points that the Zabuza and Haku portion did. If anything, it made me remember how good that was and miss that the show probably isn’t going to be able to pull off that kind of writing until Shippuden.

    And finally, what are your high points and low points for the series this week? Bee serious.

  Kevin: High - Hinata’s new Gentle Fist style. I’ve always liked Hinata and wished that she was able to be awesome more regularly, so having a major focus of the arc be on her was already a good start for me. Then showing her constantly training and occasionally hinting at her having some kind of new technique was great to show her seriously trying to improve. The culmination of her creating her own variant of Neji’s Rotation and then being able to adapt it to be either defensive or offensive looked silly, but the effects were amazing. My only complaint is that since this is filler, I don’t think it ever comes back, and I wish that it got more development.

  Low - Ranmaru. I was going along with the arc until Ranmaru’s reveal. Sure, the villains were outright evil, but I’m okay with that as long as they’re consistent. Ranmaru doesn’t break that consistency, but everything about him makes no sense. If he’s always in that house and has no one else, how has he fed himself? What exactly is his sickness? Are his powers full on jutsu, Kekkei Genkai or something else entirely? What even are his specific powers? An entire flashback dedicated to giving Ranmaru’s backstory somehow raised more questions than it answered.

  (Dis)Honorable Mention - Lee referring to his notebook to learn about the Hidden Mist Jutsu. My issue with this isn’t this specific moment, but rather thinking back to the beginning of the show versus now in relation to jutsu. Early on, Kakashi reprimanded Naruto for casting a jutsu in plain sight where his enemy could figure out what he was planning and counter it. Now, we have entire strings of hand signs out in the open (in the previous week’s arc), and so much down time that people can go research what jutsu they’re under before being attacked!

  Carolyn: High point: These bug puns. Thank you, Paul. Low point: A tie between that stupid, stupid fart and Hinata dedicating herself to her ninjutsu to impress her dad and Naruto. Have goals, ladies!

  Joseph: High point: It’s a tie between Hinata’s development and living burials, which I’m a sucker for. Low point: Gotta be the end of the bug hunt. I love a good fart gag but Naruto has never had one and this was the worst. Fart in my face once, shame on you. Fart in my face twice, shame on me.

  Danni: High point is easily the direction in episode 151. All of this filler has come with many more downsides than upsides, but we’re beginning to get some episodes with their own standalone flair to them. I imagine that working on original arcs rather than adapting manga chapters maybe grants the team with a little more creative freedom in their cuts and storyboards. The low point was Naruto farting on the bug. Like, dude, you just messed up your best chance of finding Sasuke. How are you not devastated by that?

  Noelle: High point, I think is Hinata starting to work on her own merit. Canon didn’t spend a lot of time with her, but here we can see that she is trying, she is just as determined as she is in the Chunin Exams, she just needs some time to shine. Low point, the fart ending. Really? Really?

  Jared: High point would be Hinata defeating bugs and getting to show off her new technique. Also the return of the goodest of boys Rock Lee and him fighting while unconscious was a good goof. Low point would easily be the fart gag that ended the Bikochu arc. Just a bad way overall to end what could’ve been a serviceable plot point.

People who should buy this book. 1. People who own dogs. Go to Amazon

This book is way better than cigarettes. I got the book this morning, and as I was hobbled by pain from an ACL surgery and unable to take painkillers because they would make me loopy at work, instead I read this all day. (Shhhhh. It is okay. I also helped customers.) Go to Amazon

Give it ALL the stars! I've been a fan of Allie Brosh's (Allie? Can I call her Allie? Is that weird?) blog for years now, so I was never not buying her book. Her blog is less a series of wordy posts about what happened that day and more comic strip about fish murders, spiders, spaghatta nadles, and the single strangest childhood since Drew Barrymore's. Go to Amazon

Love it! Everyone needs to read this book. It is full of awesome and 100% approved by my very own Simple Dog. Allie's work is amazing and hilarious. I would buy anything she writes! Go to Amazon

you'll love this is you love Allie You have to know Allie Brosh's hysterically funny work to appreciate this calendar. Otherwise, you would just be confused. However, if you know her work, just the mention of a story will set you laughing loudly and sometimes non-stop. For those of us of the great old days of SNL, remember how one line from a skit could get you going? This calendar and her stories are just like that. "Beeeees?" Go to Amazon

If you don't love Allie Brosh's book (and blog) you just may not have a soul If You Struggle With Depression, Allie Wants You to Know You're Not Alone You can find a good friend in these books One of my favorite web comics turned physical books I have Gets to the meat Love it! Every since the epic comic style strip ... Beyond hilarious I could read her writings all day. I think ... Incredible Five Stars
