Was Marinette gonna say "Oh you Dirtbag!" or "Oh you Dickhead!"?

Definitely "Oh, you DICK!" for multiple reasons.

So I am once again back for another annoyed/ angry rant this one fueled by insomnia, rage and my incessant inability to make my mind shut up when I'm supposed to be trying to sleep.

I've written a bit about this topic already but god do I absolutely loathe that Horikoshi decided to give Izuku a quirk have him live his dream for under 2 years only to have the quirk ripped away in the most bloody brutal unnecessary way possible, have Izuku graduate with the rest of his peers and then immediately have him go into teaching and have all his friends move on with their lives without him. Only for Bakugo to waltz in with that mech suit and offer him a place at his agency. It's disgusting and I hate it. Also there's no way in fuck anyone can convince me that Bakugo is the main person who paid for that. Like hell! And on top of that offering Izuku a place at HIS agency after giving him the suit!? That screams yet manipulation on Bakugo's part! It's giving "hey so I know I've treated you like shit and no one's really had much to do with you in years but I'm giving you this opportunity and hey you should join my agency so you have to spend even more time kissing the ground I walk on," vibes and it disgusts me. The only things Horikoshi did right in that finale/ epilogue were Shoto's rank being what it is though his updated look left much to be desired so points off for that, Bakugo's rank being 15 and likely to fall because of his attitude and Izuku turning down Bakugo's offer of joining his agency. Other than that the finale was shit and I'm livid at how badly Izuku was treated. And no one will EVER convince me that Shoto and Izuku haven't spoken much in years! Those two are best friends if not boyfriends and I will die on that hill!

one of the similarities that soos and ford share being the both of them disliking the mailman and werewolves in general for some reason

(makes all the werewolf stan aus way more funnier tbh)

Detroit Become Human is my favorite piece of garbage and I think it actually is an excellent example of terrible execution with a cornucopia of good ideas.

Bruce having flashbacks to Dick telling him off in the middle of a beach date is so funny to me.

I made a found family au for Spider and my PC's I thought I'd share, mood boards included 🤭🤭🤭:

This is Spider's vibe in this au, nothing too different from canon. He's Eywa's little golden warrior. A ray of light on the land. Maybe a tad blessed, but mostly just himself. Spunky and bright and adventurous.

this is Sa'ana and A'nak. young lovers that have been forced around the Metkayina and Ta'unui Islands by love and the war, who will eventually settle in Awa'atlu.

(for whatever these two photos will not stay side by side)

Sa'ana is a ceremonial dancer of the Metkayina and Ta'unui villages. Her parents are Metkayina, while her husband's are Ta'unui. She is also a crafter known for her intricate she'll work and a surfer, a hobby she shares with her husband. She is around 20 at the start of her story.

A'nak is a younger scout, also around 20, and warrior of the Ta'unui, with ties to a long line of open ocean scouts who patrol on the outer edge of the reef. He met Sa'ana during one of his scouting runs where he would come to rest and trade for supplies in her village.

their vibes:

They're ey're such cuties, I just wanna squish them.

(lore continued below, I just rambled a ton and it got a little long 🤭 Edit from after finishing the post: scratch that. a lot long. severely long)

The baby was a product of teenage love and the fast pace of it all, which led them to being slightly unprepared for the tasks ahead, but they fast it together... until fate ripped their dreams of making it work apart.

The RDA activity had led A'nak to be called away from his village far more often and for longer periods, while Sa'ana was alone and afraid.

Spider and Sa'ana initially met during the Ta'unui raids when Sa'ana attempted to hide her infant in her Mauri, not knowing the were targets for burning. She had been alone in the village with little support, as she had recently moved to live amongst her husband and his family, before he was called away to scout and protect the village from the RDA presence. While she was loved by his family and his people, she was in an unfamiliar place with people who were still more strangers than family. And as she was not a fighter, and rather a dancer and crafter, she struggled to break free from the hold of the soldiers to reach her baby. it was Spider who recognized the meaning of her cries and ran into the blazes of the mauri ti save the child.

She would forever remember his act. She was young, alone, and scared, and he had come to her and her child's rescue in the time of their greatest need, despite it being dangerous for him to do so. He disobeyed his captors and risked death or even more serious injury than the burns to his back to protect her and her baby, because getting into an argument with Quaritch about being heartless, never once dropping the protective stance he took in front of her. He made her feel less afraid during one of the most traumatic moments of her life.

Their ways would be forcefully parted for many weeks before Sa'ana was forced to leave her husband's village. After the burning of both his and her villages, she could not find the support and safety she needed for herself and her son, and her husband was not due back from the reefs edge for many more weeks, as he was a warrior for the clan.

which will eventually lead her to traveling to Awa'atlu, the island's stronghold village, and there, she would be reunited with the boy who had so bravely saved her and her child.

Spider had yet to be entirely accepted by the people of Awa'atlu. He'd been allowed to stay and he had the Sully children to call family, but he was pretty lonely. A stranger, just like Sa'ana. And she accepts him with open arms. She had heard of his presence here and was more than excited to be reunited. Her son had begun to walk since they'd last met, and that was because Spider had saved him. He allowed her son to live until his first steps. She speaks of his bravery to his new clan and how good he is, hoping to influence their acceptance of him

Spider is happy to see her as well, to see that she and her son are safe and unharmed. He's rather obsessed with Nani, always watching over him and making sure he doesn't out shells in his mouth, building sand castles with him, getting in the occasional fight, cause she difference doesn't matter, a 17 year old and a one year old will manage to have beef (Spider is have the time of his life).

Sa'ana ends up getting his help around her mauri, which is in the deepest section inland of the village, so she's in a little foresty cove. She is closer to Spider's age than she is to being his mother (they have a 3/4 year age difference), so their relationship is something between friends and siblings, while she is still motherly at times. Spider does chores and brings her fish or hunts from the forests he's far better adapted to hunt in, and makes sure no one bothers her. She cooks and crafts for them and makes sure Spider doesn't feel alone.

Spider needed that after everything that happened over the span of the last few months. While he needed a true parent, after his ordeal with trauma bonding with Q and all that entailed, he wasn't ready for an authority/guardian figure in his life. He would have sabotaged any attempts made, but considering his status, no one would have tried to begin with. She wasn't his mother, she wasn't in charge of him, she was just someone he could lean on, nearly an equal, but just a bit older and wiser and reliable, and he felt safe with her.

Spider would bring his siblings to see Nani and play in the tide pools on the forest edge, and it was nice. it helped them feel a bit more... ok, after losing Neteyam, and with the RDA smog on the horizon. And Sa'ana liked hearing the gaggle of children outside of her home, playing with her child.

It would take weeks for A'nak to be relieved from his scouting duties and to make his way to Awa'atlu, where he decided he would stay, regardless of their families choices, so he could be with his wife; they tried to do things the traditional ways, moving with one of their families, but that didn't work, and Sa'ana got hurt in the process, and he would never leave her side again.

Spider does not like him at first. He sees A'nak as a man who couldn't handle his commitment and abandoned Sa'ana and Nani to be a warrior. It takes a while for him to trust the man. He doesn't like him, doesn't trust him to stick around, nor does he believe that he deserves Sa'ana and actively tries to get her to dump his ass. he is the biggest hater. He only gets along with him in the beginning to not stress out Sa'ana, and so she'll leave them with the baby to go take a proper break and mingle and breathe without anxiety.

A'nak does not know what to do with the kid. He's Sa'ana's.... kid? brother? friend? He has no idea what he should be doing. Should he be gently fathering him like Sa'ana mothers him at times? or would they just get him punched in the jaw? (it's the latter).

But eventually Spider will trust his commitment and open up to him, and they become very close. Spider will always give him shit and challenge his authority, but at the end of the day, when he doesn't have an answer or needs someone to have his back, he'll look for A'nak. and while A'nak doesn't know what to call this kid, he knows he would die for him. He would shield his body with his own. He would love mountains for him just like he would for Nani. That's his son and his brother and one of his best friends and that's all that matters.

They're the first people he tells about Quaritch being alive, and while it doesn't go over without reaction, they took it well enough, because that's their boy. They know him. They know he had a reason. And they trust him. He told them, knowing the risks, and he was honest, and his eyes held so much pain. So they help him break the news to the rest of the village and give him unconditional shelter no matter everyone else's reaction.

"I saved the monster that destroyed your home"

"You saved your father. Monster or not, he was your father."

"How are you ok with this?"

"I already know you enough to forgive you."

Sa'ana takes it best. She saw the boy in her village. Saw how torn his heart was. Knows that no matter the feelings he harbors for his father, his people will come first. A'nak needs to step away for a moment, which is the first turn Spider ever truly wanted him to stay, so he didn't do or say something foolish. But he gets over it, especially when the rest of the village gets s little hostile and he begins to guard the scar on his chest he never really asked about whenever he's near the eldest Sully woman. At that point that paternal instincts to protect unconditionally win. No one will touch his kid.

When the warfront returns to the shores of Awa'atlu, A'nak does everything to keep Spider from it, but ultimately takes him under his wing to make sure when he does sneak into battle, he doesn't get himself killed (though Spider does stay behind with Sa'ana and Nani often enough).

in the peace times Sa'ana and A'nak teach him to surf, and will take him all the way out to the edge of the reef to catch the good waves. A'nak takes Spider to scout when he resumes taking shorter, half day, trips. They each him the ceremonial dances of their people, for fun, and they practice together at night, and its so refreshing to do as a little family.

Spider takes Nani everywhere. They're attached at the hip. Spider is always taking him places and cooing to him and making him stuff. Over protective big brother to the max. This is the baby sibling he gets to raise, and that's special. He was only eight and barely accepted when Tuk was born. This is monumental for him. You never see them too far apart for very long. Even if it's a five minute check in every now and then when he's with his friends and other siblings. Nani is represented on his songchord by a pearl.

A'nak even put up with Spider's attempts to claim a Tsurak. He was a little shocked when he succeeded, but he pretends he always had faith (it's gonna be one of those stories he tells 20 years later and finally admits the truth. "I was only there cause I was gonna try and keep you from getting yourself killed")

in the end, Spider ends up living with them most of the time, he spends some nights with his siblings or with Ao'nung (cause they're totally crushing a little. and I think Sa'ana would giggle at the prospect of Spider falling for someone that reminds her of a younger A'nak, while A'nak himself pales at the mere thought. now he gets why Spider hated him so much), but he's home with them. With little Nani. In the mauri he helped make their own. And more often then not, he sleeps between them with Nani tucked in his arms.

He isn't alone anymore.

when hatsume is asking aizawwa for details on the class for the simulation game (OVA) he gives oddly specific details- bakugou's temperament, izuku's rambling, momo's indecisiveness, kirishima making sure everyone is included, hizashi using radio puns in everything he says, snipe having a texan accent, denki having a short attention span, mina incorporating street dancing into her fighting style, izuku not winning against bakugou (& vice versa), bkdk having cali accents bc they learnt english from All Might's interviews in america ("Aizawa-sensei had given a plethora of knowledge about almost everyone in the hero course- including teachers. The only thing written down under his own name was the word decisive.")

[plumbogs]

been thinking about the monty family today. nobody does enough with the fact that Patrizio is a retired celebrity chef and that an Isabella lookalike is on The Yummy Channel... i like to think they had their own cooking show a few decades ago when the (now adult) kids were young. specifically one that leaned hard into the whole idea of making family meals, almost to the point that the "Monty family" was a part of the zietgeist as the perfect ideal household. the kids featured often either eating the food or (adorably for b footage) "helping" with cooking. of course gossip magazines were almost too invasive about the family leading to their eventual full retirement. A lot of celebrity chefs keep it going until they are very old, as just slapping their face on products or guest starring on competitions is still a feasible task well into elderhood, and while you can always fall back on "they decided to focus on the family restaurant" that business itself would already have been taken on by Claudio/Antonio/Bianca. i never really came up with a full hc about what exactly the Capp family does but I've been playing with the idea of them being some kind of media tycoon (since they don't really appear to do anything with real estate like the landgraabs or major scholarly advancements like the goths or have celebrity references the way a lot of other wealthy sim families do) in a behind-the-scenes logistics kind of way. Consort's promise might have been to protect his friend from the nasty parts of fame - tabloids, paparazzi, etc, but in part because Patrizio is hot-headed and talkative and because maybe the Capps are already well too aware of how much more profitable controversy is it ended up falling apart. obviously Patrizio blames Consort for not keeping his promise because he was nervous about entering fame in the first place, and he can only rant about betrayal so much before the Capps have to double down and really start retaliating to protect their own success. nowadays the pop culture focus of the issue is one of those bygone controversies to the average sim, something old people will sometimes talk about while getting their hair done and whatever but bringing up the Montys to most people elicit a "that old cooking show that has reruns on weekday mornings?? what about it?"

The moment Deltarune comes out I'm going to disappear from the internet for an unknown but supposedly long period of time.

I'm gonna be playing it with my irl friends and we take ages to get through each chapter. Not because we suck at the game, but because we constantly get distracted lmao- That and we don't get to hang out in person all that much due to our jobs. But seriously, Chapter 2 alone took us over a month to beat. I seriously doubt we'll get through 2 new chapters within a week or so haha. So I'm gonna be staying off the internet for a while until we beat it!

if i was kelly and i saw this every day in my beautiful living room i would probably do something to myself

[firethesound]

So life continues to be relentless and the world right now is ::gestures at everything:: but also, hey I finished writing a thing! And it's been like four and a half years since I last finished writing a thing that I'm now sitting here going, well, now what? Because it feels so strange to have actually finished something.

So the DMC anime dropped their official trailer yesterday

And I'm gonna be super honest, I'm not looking forward to it.

This post is just gonna be me ranting about my immense disappointment.

So if no one cares about me going off about the anime, feel free to scroll past this, the full rant will be below the cut, but holy hell.

As a longtime DMC fan who's followed the series from the very first game, I'm quite disappointed.

The first things that initially put me off when I saw the teaser.

1. Dante's appearance

When they revealed how he looked, I was mortified.

First of all his hair style looks like an even shittier version of Dante's hair in Devil May Cry 2, which already doesn't make sense because the anime has the White Rabbit in here, and the White Rabbit is from volume 1 of the Devil May Cry 3 Manga. And Dante in the anime looks nothing like Dante's DMC3 look, sure the jacket is close, but that's literally the only thing. Also his eyes, he has small irises which imo doesn't not work with this art style.

Dante's eyes also has wrinkles or crows feet, which literally makes no sense. Because Dante is supposed to be young in here, instead they got him looking like nothing but a generic anime thug than a protagonist.

Just look at the difference.

Here's how Dante looks in the anime:

Now look at a fan redraw someone did below(They didn't leave a pen name so I can't post a link)

This is how he is SUPPOSED to look!

You can see the difference so easily

its like night and day. This is how he SHOULD look, instead we got generic anime thug Dante. They changed him so much, I'm noticing many distinct facial features gone in this shit excuse of a DMC anime. If you notice in the fan art, Dante looks like he was ripped from the DMC 3 Manga. Dante and Vergil had slightly thicker upper lips, and they kept that and many of their other features the same all throughout the series, until now, with the stupid design they went with for Dante.

I also don't like Vergil's appearance, he's not as bad as Dante, but still uhhh NOT great. Look at what they did to my devil man X_X

I really hate what they did to Vergil, he has silver bangs on his forehead, but in the anime they only gave him one and it looks so out of place.

And THE JACKET! They ruined his cool classic jacket, why the hell are the patterns coming down yellow? Only the LINING should be yellow and his patters are supposed to be white. UGH The one time they include Vergil in an anime adaptation and they do THIS to him?

I'm sorry, actually no. I'm NOT sorry, but I can't forgive them for this.

I respect my devil man too much to accept this version of him.

2. The Casting choice:

Now first things first, I got nothing against JYB

I love the VA, he's super talented, but he should NOT be Dante

Any longtime fan of the video game series will always hear Nero, because thats who JYB is in DMC, nothing against Johnny, but his Dante just doesn't work. It's stupid how they didn't get Reuben Langdon, the guy may have controversial views and opinions, but Reuben is still a super talented actor, his personal views should have never affected his craft. So Reuben is and always will be Dante for me.

Vergil UGH

My disappointment is immeasurable.

If they got Johnny, they should have been able to at least get Dan Southworth to reprise his role as Vergil

But NOPE instead we got Robbie Daymond, Fucking Goro Akechi is voicing Vergil and my god it is SO wrong!

Nothing against Robbie Daymond or Akechi, I did like Akechi in Persona 5, but honestly, just because Robbie has played a character who is smart, and also uses big words, does NOT mean he can be Vergil

Robbie's Vergil is way too deep, and honestly me hearing that voice coming from Vergil, just will not do it. It's cringe to me since I'm so used to Dan.

If they couldn't get Dan, they should have at least hired a VA who has a similar tone of voice, not someone who is so distinctly different in voice tone. As talented as Robbie Daymond is, he can NOT be Vergil, the casting choice just doesn't fit. Even if he can carry the villain vibe Vergil has, Dan speaks as Vergil in distinct vocal patterns, he has unique mannerisms for Vergil that can never be replicated.

That rolly- tone to Vergil's voice is just WAY too iconic to be replaced. So this version of Vergil is NEVER gonna be my Vergil

#notmyvergil

Daniel Southworth is and ALWAYS will be Vergil for me

He's the only voice for Vergil and no one can EVER change my mind.

And don't even get me started on what they did to Lady, she is NOTHING like her video game counterpart. Lady as a cop wearing fake ass Robocop armor? Nah man, just no. She's a Devil Huntress, not a modern-day human Robocop. UGH. Plus the disrespect to Sparda in there pisses me off.

And finally

3. The Plot and Game Lore:

There obviously isn't much known about the plot, but from some of the storyboards I've seen and things they've painted a picture of in the trailer sounds like a whole original story, while The White Rabbit is in here, we're missing Alice, she was in the DMC 3 manga and played a big part in the manga. In the anime, it looks like the White Rabbit is trying to start the second war between humans and demons, and while that sounds exciting, I actually predicted that they would probably differentiate from the Manga, which isn't always a bad thing, but it makes me wonder what the hell they are gonna do with this whole war thing.

Probably the only thing I can appreciate about this anime, is that they at least seem to respect the game's lore and history, because in the anime opening (Which I still think is fucking wild they went with Limp Bizkit of all bands) there's a part in the opening where they Show Arius (DMC 2 main boss) Arkham (Devil May Cry 3) and even show Mundus (DMC 1)

Overall

I think it's safe to say that Netflix has let us down again.

I was trying SO hard to be optimistic about this anime

But now honestly, after seeing what they did do Dante, but more importantly, my Devil man Vergil, and how badly they butchered him, I'm more than likely gonna be skipping this new DMC anime.

I'm not even gonna make icons for this version of Vergil, because he's fucking hideous in here.

My heart is set on the DMC I know and love

Not this new version they are making.

I guess I should have seen this coming since Adi Shankar plans to merge DMC and Castlevania together, both anime's are garbage imo

And trash belongs with other trash.

In conclusion

If you've made it this far and read the whole post

Thank you for putting up with my bitching lol

Please keep in mind, this is all my take and my opinion

If you still wanna watch the DMC anime, by all means go for it.

Just don't expect me to be tuning into it

People can tell me about it if they want, but I'm not gonna watch it.
