this is so random but I just love that thing the knights sometimes do with their capes, where they’re making a point ™️ but their capes are somehow covering their entire hand 🥺

A very neat fact about the hunter-nin of Mist: they have a special barrier ninjutsu that can protect specific body parts [such as an eye or a hand] and this jutsu is so important and secretive that not even the Mizukage knows how it works or how to get rid of it. The only ones who know the process are fellow hunter-nin
Given my overall headcanons for Kohari, I fully believe she taught this barrier to Iruka, swearing him to utmost secrecy as she did. Not even Ikkaku knew they could use it. This barrier is how he managed to take a fuma straight to the spine and not end up fucking paralysed - he passes it off as just being lucky, which nobody questions because luck is the name of the game as a shinobi, but really he used the barrier to protect his spine, causing the fuma to slide off and lodge itself to the side of the column instead
Still a terrifying back wound that could've had dire consequences and causes him chronic pain and limits what stretches and movements he can do, but no longer as bad as it would've been had he not made the split second activation

HC Tommy Kinard is secretly fluent in French. Buck is secretly fluent in the sect of conversational Spanish he learned in Peru. They don't understand a WORD of what the other is saying, it's just insanely hot being flirted with in a foreign language. Plot twist when they get into fights they both shout in their designated language until they kiss each other because they love each other too damn much to stay mad.

Look.
Ace Attorney fandom.
I know why people don't like Turnabout Bigtop. I am among the people who dislike Turnabout Bigtop.
But I GET why people like the case. I'm not going to be one of those annoying people who just blindly dump on it because I hate those mfs too.
Thing about Bigtop isn't that it sucks. Thing isn't the weird grooming stuff (though that is a huge part of it). It's not that it could've been good.
It's that - in my personal OPINION - it could have been *great*.
I think it had the potential to be one of the best third cases in the trilogy. It had everything; a fun and goofy setting fit for a pretty dang goofy lawyer game - where the environment itself had jokes and quips and one-liners and mishaps and tomfoolery written all over it, it had the previous case introducing a very interesting and important plotline that gave background for one of the more well-loved characters while also introducing an equally fucked up and lovable new one who was a child forced into a shit childhood of naivete in a CIRCUS with another character who was very naive and childish - whose interactions could have been funny and cute and reflective of said shit from the previous case (seriously she becomes such an important character in the 4th case, WHY would they not include her in this one for some character development? How did they fuck up letting a CHILD explore a CIRCUS?? That would have made the interactions flow MUCH better).
They had a pretty good, sympathetic killer imo, a morally dubious victim, an asshole of a client (who was pretty flat admittedly in-game, but I like his weird, topsy-turvy reasoning for it in the anime. Also, I think Max being kinda a dick would have bode well for the themes of Farewell since most of his clients up to this point have been like...nice? Not nice, but sympathetic, but him having to defend someone who's innocent but a prick would have shown him that just because someone is an asshole, doesn't mean they deserve to suffer for it and that they have the potential to grow as people, which is almost a complete opposite of what Matt was. Ultimately, I would have loved the contrast of them as clients and I think it would have also served as character development for Phoenix, especially with his low-empathy tendencies).
They just didn't think that far ahead. They just didn't execute it well enough. They just decided to make three of the adult characters fight for the hand in marriage of a teenage girl. (Bat's part of the story was actually kinda good if he was just YOUNGER, I think him doing that for Regina would have been a stupid thing someone in the circus would do to impress their crush. Damn you Ace Attorney and your weird treatment of underage girls!!)
It just flopped and that's ok.
Even though it kinda sucked, it can still mean something to me.
Also I'm a Moe Curls apologist. I liked him, shut up.

horrible dream I had several months ago and HAD to recreate shittily
Basically I was watching a HIVEMINDTV compilation in my uni lecture (I have never done that BTW) called "Obscure Hivemind Moments That Will Make You Bald" and at ~8:26, it cut to an old clip of long-hair Graydon and stacheless Riley sat in front of a pond greenscreen. Graydon suddenly proclaims that he'd "rather give birth to two twin wolves" and immediately begins howling as the bg changes to two baby gray wolf plushies. Riley is crying and throwing up with laughter for some reason?
The comp then cut to an actual HIVEMIND video and I was in shock. I rewound the video and sure enough, two twin wolves clip. Yep.

I gotta admit it’s a regular petty irritation to me that the last two instructor guards don’t use whips, or even something close like Swire
I don’t need the class to be good, I’m an avid crusher guard fan, but it bothers me when a class with a specific identity goes way off theme
