Re-reading Heesu in Class 2 and, aside from falling in love with it all over again, I'm increasingly confused about what the show could be about if they really have decided to bromance-ify it rather than keep it as BL.

Like.... (Spoilers under the cut)

Yes it's a coming of age story but it's massively informed by the fact that Heesu is gay and doesn't live in the BL bubble (albeit in a kinder version of reality).

Heesu doesn't feel like he can confess his feelings to Chanyoung not because he was worried about losing his friend (i.e. the usual coming of age romance storyline) but because he didn't even think it was an option for "someone like [him]".

Chanyoung and Heesu's friendship is complicated because Changyoung is aware of Heesu's feelings but can't work out how to help him move on from them without accidentally making Heesu think he's rejecting who he is or forcing him to come out. The thing that makes Chanyoung such a great friend is that, once he finds a solution, be becomes the most enthusiastic match maker ever.

Remove all that (and that's just scratching the surface) and what do you get? Why even bother adapting it?

Jiyu, Heesu's sisters, Seungwon's mothers... They're there to show the value of having supportive and loving peers and elders and, in Seungwon's mothers' case, show how valuable and powerful it is to have role models as a queer youth....

What story in the epic cycle would fit a prince of egypt style adaptation, I wonder after rewatching said movie

[letstalkaboutfandomsbaby]

I'm very scared of moving to a completely different country for school but also so very excited? I'll get to learn and meet new people and be a part of a new culture, it's all so very exciting to take a new journey 💕

I know I'm talking about sonic fans here and really shouldn;t be surprised but I really don't understand why people are mad that sonic 3 isn't gonna be 1:1 faithful to sa2, like. You were expecting a perfect game adaptation from the movies where Sonic was raised by an owl and then a cop? The one where the rings are interdimensional portals? Cmon now

in light of recent events i have decided that the original 5 books of the percy jackson series and the original 3 seasons of the avatar the last airbender animation are all that exist of those two respective intellectual properties. no sequels, no adaptations. any other production based off those two properties are just fanon for all im concerned. this is for my mental health. good day!

Been thinking about this too hard lately regarding my special interests but I find it funny how mega man was something I can’t remember if I ever convinced anyone to play due to how difficult it was despite the fact series order didn’t matter-even if people pushed it, it’s not the end of the world if you play ZX before Zero or shit like that-yet I’ve been able to easily get people into getter and I know it’s cause it’s only 13 eps (not looking at toei) and watching a show a easier commitment then playing a game, but I realized more and more over time that “oh yeah getter is one of those fucking things where you actually need to read the manga before watching most of the anime’s to really understand wtf going on despite them being all different canons” and I’ve low key feel bad that my friends do not get to know the full context of things.

It’s a general thing to my understanding that old anime adaptations after the 70s but before current day while do their own thing and not properly follow the manga, still have wanted you to have read it prior to understand what’s going on despite the adaptation not being a sequel. I felt this was especially apparent with dynapro mecha, I read the jeeg manga before I watched shin jeeg and while it also heavily referenced toei jeeg it makes part of the story easier to understand even if shin does bother to explain who past characters are to the audience, mazinger plots are fairly simple and I know people say shin is a great start but Mazinkaiser throws you into things, none of the characters get proper introductions despite how episodic the plot gets later, but Getter? All of the OVAs took different parts of the manga and stitched them together in a weird way, and also most of the characters again do not get proper introductions so you’ll be like “who?” the entire time.

New is the only one where this isn’t a huge issue as it feels designed almost to be a entry series for newbies but there’s still problems with it being your first getter entry even if it’s more minor compared to arma or svn, but stuff like Musashibo being Benkei and Musashi merged into one so if you watch the other ovas without reading the manga you’ll be like “who?” to those two in say arma and the fact while it reveals the cosmic horror aspect better then the other ovas, the ending can still be seen as super vague. (If anything what new does best without needing manga knowledge is the fact it’s middle arc is just also using a different Ishikawa manga cause that thing did not get finished translating so most English fans will never know wtf is going on there LOL but new explained it fairly well)

Genuinely it sucks to say since I don’t like dictating what order people consume media in cause at the end of the day if they’re confused yet still get into the series it does not matter, but getter to be properly experienced cannot be done if your a anime only. You really do need to read the manga to understand most of the anime’s unless you stick to Toei stuff, but that’s so different that your still not getting the proper getter experience.

also, here is a medieval dessert i made with the roses i recently picked! it is quite interesting, it is something akin to a rice pudding although served cold and firmer. (it also uses rice flour and almond milk with ground almonds still intact)

it’s called rosee, the recipe can be found in the forme of cury which is a late 14th century cookbook

Parasite (1982)

"That thing on your stomach..."

"A new strain of parasite. I deserve it, in a way. I created it."

"For the Merchants? Why?"

"I thought for the government. They're so mixed up with the Merchants now, they work for one another. This 'thing', as you call it, is growing. It's dormant now but it will soon grow larger... and kill me."
