can't believe an anime called buddy daddies did not end up being, in fact, just a silly little comedy of two hitmen raising a child together but instead an actual heartwarming, well written show about (re)learning to love and to be loved, about how the meaning of family goes way beyond blood and no matter how unconventional it may be, it's still as perfect and valid because it's yours and you wouldn't trade it for anything else

so, who's gonna pay for miri's therapy once she's old enough for them to explain all of this shitshow to her

just thinking about how bizarre the whole misaki situation must look on the outside for the daycare moms because Did she just say 'mama' ?? wdym rei and kazuki didn't actually conceive her ??

i absolutely love the day-to-day scenes in buddy daddies because even if i cannot comprehend what 'having to suddenly raise a child while being a 24/7 hitman with deep childhood trauma' feels like nothing will make me sympathize more with an anime character than seeing them going through the pains of bureaucratic paperwork.

tua s3 is coming in two days and the only thing i can think of is how happy the writer's must have been with the fact that aidan gallagher hasn't grown up not even 10 cm in the past few years

what kind of person u r based on ur visual prison ship because Why Not

(putting aside the fact that half of these ships are either problematic or have kind of an incestuous vibe to them since the discovery that turning someone makes you their pseudo-family lmao)

guil/ange: u probably have a daddy kink. and u had hopes for this ship till ange's age theories surged and ep 9 attacked.

ange/robin: u just want a little bit of fluff and comfort and honestly, same.

guil/eve: u either love the "accidentally sharing the custody of a bunch of kids" dynamic or u r trying to replace the absence of a paternal/maternal figure with these two. i hope it's the first.

eve/robin: Too Much Energy + Low Energy. perfectly balanced. u play it safe, nothing can go wrong with this.

saga/mist: u probably need couples therapy. and if u don't have a partner, then know that you'll need it. they're cute i'll give you that.

hyde/dimitri: u just don't want to fight with anyone. probably a reigisa shipper too.

jack/robin: hun u r stuck in That Scene in episode 3. and in 2012 before twitter threads and cancel culture were a Thing.

saga/jack: probably a sebaciel shipper. in the middle of 2021. say sike rn.

eve/elizabeth: u r cool and i respect u for this. have a cupcake.

yutaka/guil: go to you ao3/wattpad/fanfiction.net and tell me how many sad/bittersweet ending, everyone lives/nobody dies, fix it ffs or reincarnation aus do u have. now u get it.

saga/guil: ah yes, you'll probably go to great lengths for the people you love, but will they do the same for you??? u r here just for the pain.

also !! carmilla, the character based on elizabeth báthory from the novel 'carmilla' (1872), is a lesbian. so make of that what you will.

Not to be all "why is nobody talking about this," but...

Can we talk about this? I want to scream talk about this.

Especially the part where I was right all along and Beth is trans, which is obviously the most important part.

glad that out of the dozen possible pairing combinations we have, hyde/dimitri is the only one we can all agree on

okay, here’s the thing clowns refuse to understand: kuroko no basuke is not trying, in any way, to play itself off as a realistic depiction of basketball. it is a story that unapologetically uses its medium (i.e. anime/manga) to the fullest. 

this is why i get a little irritated when people tell me to ‘go and watch haikyuu instead’ - here’s the thing: i love haikyuu, but these shows entertain me in two entirely different ways. everything from their respective cast, to their plotline/s, to inner and outer group dynamics, serve completely different purposes. 

hinata is an amateur who fell in love with volleyball because he idolized a particular player - haikyuu is the story of how he makes it to the top. the story relies wholly on the concept of ambition and idea of getting there no matter what. it’s all about average players making it big. there’s no need to be extra about anything - this is a bottom-up anime; knb is a top-down anime. 

hinata is an underdog; kuroko is a dark horse. 

knb isn’t about kuroko becoming an ace; when he joins seirin’s team, he’s already an experienced player who’s played alongside some very talented people on a national stage. the idea of knb isn’t that he wants to be the best - its that he wants to humble the best. he wants to bring the unreachables down a notch or two (or ten). that being said, making the generation of miracles over-powered is the perfect way to accomplish that. making them vain, dionysian near-gods is both what makes the show good and helps it achieve its end goal. 

an antagonist like oikawa, who works hard and values his team, wouldn’t be a bad guy in knb, regardless of his garbage attitude. just like throwing in a character as cruel and unyielding as akashi into haikyuu would completely destroy the point of the show (and the morale of its arguably unexceptional cast). 

there’s a reason kise is knb’s oikawa, and ushijima is haikyuu’s akashi. they’re character equivalents, crafted in a way that suits the universe/story they’re put in. these shows are built the way they are for a reason, and each element serves its respective plot well. 

so for the love of zeus, stop comparing them. just because there’s a ball and a short protagonist in the equation doesn’t make them comparable.

ok so i rewatched voltron bc i love Suffering and i started to imagine how would it be if adam had been there when the paladins came back to earth in s7 and i can totally picture him being absolutely relieved but also TAKASHI WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK
