Big Dragon Ep 3 Stray Thoughts

When we last left the Shitty Boys, they were at a pool party with heavy pours, and I questioned the decision to allow so much glass near a pool. For the first time in a while, we reflected on the potential physical realities of overaggressive anal intercourse, and I lamented that BL rarely explores m/m intimacy beyond penetrative sex.

Yes, give us the pool shot again.

For all that I'm struggling a bit with this show, I do want to praise the visual production values from Star Hunter. This show has been very visually pleasing and easy on the eyes. There was a period in 2020 where everything was way too bright and white.

I forgot Mangkorn looked like a lifeguard.

I feel like if he was serious about destroying the phone, he'd microwave it. Also, in the age of cloud storage, the video is definitely not stored on the phone.

Mangkorn: "You're pretty stupid for a villain. Let's fuck again."

Oh, a frank request for consent followed by role-play. It's time to tag @lutawolf in, because the show is going there.

I think I like that the show ended that scene on a joke. I'm also glad that we have more shows presenting fellatio as a quickly-accessible form of m/m pleasure.

These two are so weird about each other.

Can't believe we had a scene where we had a mic'd actor brush his mic repeatedly and then change shirts. Pain.

And now they're on a date??

Oh, hey elder gays. And now this show had joined the call for marriage equality with a sad piano backing track. Add it to the list!

Really loving Thai BL this year being very plain about support for queer issues.

So Mangkorn runs off to buy noodles from a place right near Yai's condo? I mean it's nice since Yai is dealing with discomfort, but it still reads a bit weird to me.

I get that this scene is meant to show them contemplating each other, but I really hope it didn't take Yai hours to eat noodles in the same spot while Mangkorn was working.

I enjoyed Da. Hopefully we see her again.

The communication between Yai and his guards leaves much to be desired.

Another show with ghosts? Well, she's using her powers for good. I wonder how many points that cost her.

Should we start a running tally of damaged phones in this show? Current count: 2

We go from yearning for marriage equality to an arranged marriage only the dads seem into. The whiplash.

It's been a while since I watched a MAME show. Everyone is very attractive, but I'm always slightly frowning about something.

180 Degree Longitude Passes Through Us Ep 3 Thoughts

I'm still not over the architectural bars in the middle of In's room.

Wang is attractive in a way that feels unusual for Thai dramas I'm used to.

The confidence in the ritualistic way In made that coffee was kinda hot.

The flirting over coffee and speaking between the lines brought me back to 1000 Stars for a moment. It's kinda interesting that Coffee Melody hasn't hit this level of sexual tension over coffee.

It's absolutely captivating watching a show from Thailand where the cinematography feels intentional the entire time. The conversation over breakfast is mostly just A-B cuts, but putting In and Sawimol in one frame highlights the choices they've made as adults that separates them from Wang. Going to the wide shot of the table highlights the gulf between both parties. Then, as soon as Sawimol exits, the two men are reaching across that Gulf over shared purpose. Finally, the overhead shot and pan indicates that they've reached a private accord. I'm gonna lose it.

I think I am glad that Wang apologized to his mom, even if the inherent codependency of their dynamic worries me. I think it's okay for Wang to disapprove of the dated nature of some of her work, but it was indeed incredibly rude for him to deride her the way he did.

In explaining that he doesn't cry by avoiding things that make him sad...while standing next to the cage...is just going to drive me insane. The way he walked away from Wang to the desk frames him such that he retreats behind the bars.

I'm not sure Wang even knows what he wants from In.

I liked the bridge-buiding montage. It seems like Wang did not get much of an experience he enjoyed at his boarding school, so there was probably something enjoyable masculine about the labor.

These two are unsubtle about the way they discuss risk taking. In is set in his reserve, and Wang is firmly opposed.

Oh lord here the Thai boys go again getting their whole pant legs wet around bathing.

In takes a glance, but always walks away from desire when it creeps up with Wang.

There were so many people hired for this surprise.

Oh my goodness I'm going to exit my corporeal form. If my family hired performers to do an almost interpretive dance as they sung happy birthday with a violinist before a guy with a globe-shaped cake exited a giant present box, I would probably just die right there.

This time, when describing the game, the A-B framing puts Wang on the bottom of the frame with his mom. Interesting that the last time we had this, In was presented as more equal. Wang may know what his mom is up to, but he's not really in control.

Man, the constant use of metaphor is something I've missed even in queer cinema. This show is a real treat for me.

Ah, we have a conceit to remove the mom from the story for a few days. Something LGBT is definitely going to happen.

Confirming that In and Siam we're intimate only brings up more questions, like why were they sorry it happened?

Man, this show is just so different from the usual fare. I enjoy BL immensely, but I am a sucker for this particular brand of queer melancholia tinged with hope and exploration.

I really am just so happy about the end of Minato’s Laundromat. Japan didn’t let us down on that one. We got a solid set of kisses, some great relief flirting, and a very tasteful double-confirmation about sating desires. I really couldn’t ask for more from this particular scenario.

Moreover, Shin never had to sublimate his feelings! He still gets to be a doctor, but he chose to do it near the person he values most.

Hell, even Asuka and Shuu get to work out their dynamic!

I’m in a good mood today.

My #1 post of 2022

I am a gay man sitting on his porch in a robe with a hot cup of coffee observing the behaviors of the winds and birds. I give a small sniff and say, "The lesbians are on the move."

I adjust my radio and listen to the advertisement for Gap one more time and nod sagely before sitting in my rocking chair. "Guess we'll need more plates," I muse before taking a sip as the cries of joy begin to rise in the distance.

(Congratulations on the Gap trailer release!)

CPN : interpreting xiao laoshi’s oasis photos 📷

here we go again clowns. thank you to xiao ge for sharing photos from his personal collection. 🤍 same disclaimers applies, it’s all speculation. If you don’t like bjyx or cpns, then don’t read. It’s that easy.

1. Yibo is at it again, at this point it’s already funny and beyond coincidence. When XZ posts, his interaction points goes up. How many times does this need to happen before we accept that this guy logs in and checks his Oasis only when his man posts? GG posts at 22:15. Yibo is at 0 on 22:18 then it goes up 22:21! It’s okay Bobo, we know you check his posts and interact with it. 😌

2. The usual photo of the Moon, which is a BJYX symbolism. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, I initially made a post about it here. However the uniq thing in these shots? There seems to be a Green Hue to it. and who loves Green? Bobo. The cpn thought is he found that it looks green and thought of Yibo so he sent it to him.

3. The first two photos are actually from a Korean Drama. Hahahahaha! He is watching something new again and lowkey recommending it to us. People are saying it’s like he is going through dramas with 9 douban score and above lol.

Drama Name : Extraordinary Attorney Woo

Synopsis : Extraordinary Attorney Woo tells the story of Woo Young-woo (Park Eun-bin), a lawyer with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), working at a large law firm. She has a high IQ of 164, outstanding memory, and a creative way of thinking, however she has low emotional intelligence and poor social skills.

It sounds very interesting! ✌🏼

and what a nice moment in this drama, LGBT theme right here 🏳️‍🌈 WATCH IT!!!!

Though I don’t think he watched it because of this episode, I feel like it’s a sign that he is not a homophobic shit like some people desperately want him to be. He is not clueless. If he really is anti queer content, then he would not recommend this. This is episode 2, so people will be able to watch it as soon as they try this drama. He knows his audience— a lot of people will try what he recommends. So for him to go out of his way and make a post out of it, or including it says something. I’m really proud of him.

4. People are also sharing the meaning of whale when it comes to love.

Whales in love symbolize courage, because whales are in short supply. I want to stay at the bottom of the sea even in the presence of oxygen.

The whale is very figurative in love. Dependence and perseverance at the bottom, so as to reflect the courage of love. Straight forward and not afraid of any interfering factors.

Also this quote from a Hongkong writer, Huang Biyun.

"I love you, like a whale to the sea, like a bird to the forest, it is inevitable.”

EDIT : The character in the drama also likes whales 🐳

Here is a quote from Ep 4:

"for whales, aquarium is a prison. its slavery where you're locked up in a tank, only eat frozen fish and have a show all year around without a rest. they must be stressed because of it."

This is a scene on Ep 10 where he shows a photo of a Whale that made her cry, but she really wants to see one IRL.

That’s all for now. I might update this main post or maybe just make a new one if something comes up. ✌🏼

I've got to know before I continue with TMA. How bad would the episodes with bugs inside of human beings be for someone with Entomophobia and Hypochondria? I've listened to the first few episodes and have really enjoyed them and the story telling but the content warnings of episode 6 and about 24 others throughout the series have me wary.

Depends on how much you want spoilers, but "bugs inside human beings" is a trope that is used VERY heavily during certain episodes and specifically revolving a character involved in S1 and S1's finale episodes.

If you look on the transcripts, you can find content warnings before each ep. I'd recommend peaking at those. The episodes I'd keep an eye out for relating to anything "bugs" would be: 6, 22, 32, 36, 39, 45, 55, 68, 84, 93, 102, 153, 157, 164, and 184.

You might want to just read the transcripts for them. For some it's a bit impossible to skip entirely due to the importance within the story. Worse comes to worse, you can also read the wiki summaries for those episodes (but you just have to be cautious about not coming across spoilers).

There are also a few episodes that have elements that might be rough for someone with Hypochondria, but a lot less so imo. The only episode I can think off the top of my head would MAYBE be 155? But I could be missing more.

I have a HUGE fear of bugs so I remember all the bug episodes. I was able to get through them, but everyone's fears and levels of what they can handle are different.

Hope this helps! I'd still really encourage you to push through, though S1 will be rough for you. After S1's finale there's less bug-based content overall.

thank u for tagging me @alexastudies and @melanie-studies13 ! 💫

nickname: kitty

zodiac: leo 🦁

height: 164 cm

hogwarts house: hufflepuff to the core

last thing i googled: “true beauty recap ep 12″. now this is funny story. i am watching “true beauty” kdrama but i am such an anxious person, i get stressed out easily if some drama happens in tv shows and that’s why i have this habit to take a break from watching it just to prepare myself. but the problem is that i will probably forget about it or drop it and that’s a no no. so i found this effective way for myself, that if something happens in drama, i feel less stressed out if i read a recap and know what’s gonna happen, makes me less stressed out and i feel calmer and prepared. yes, that means that i am spoilering for myself the story, but i feel better that way. 

song stuck in my head: “kazino” by bibi ♠️

number of followers: 15,450

amount of sleep: i am sleeping around 8 or 9 hours. pretty healthy!

lucky number: 13

dream job: i don’t have one. there are so many jobs i am romanticizing for myself that i think would be cool but i don’t think that even being the teacher is my ultimate dream job even tho i am studying for it. some jobs i am romanticizing: barista, librarian, staff at concert venue or theater, tourism guides, journalists for fashion magazines, florist, art museum staff, mass actors etc.

wearing: my uni t-shirt, dark blue trousers, grey cardigan and knitted socks.

favorite song: i am such a music fan, so this question is impossible. too many to name but i will go with “visions of gideon” by sufjan stevens for now.

favorite instrument: piano. i can surely state that piano was my first love. i played it since i was 7 and it's just part of my soul now 🎹

aesthetic: i don’t have one aesthetic but for sure a good mix of dark and light academia with a touch of cottagecore 🌾

favorite author(s): john green, p.c. cast and kristin cast.

favorite animal sounds: birds chirping early in the morning and horses running through the fields.

random: there is this one thai actor who i like and follow on ig. freaky thing is that we have the exact same taste in music. i literally find him recommending songs that i already love dearly, recommending artists that i myself discovered recently or recommending songs which i haven't heard but once i check them - i am obsessed. it's weirdly comforting.

Shikaku Nara Masterpost: Part 1

Guess who went through all the Naruto episodes that Shikaku speaks in and made a masterpost of them all? Saving you the time and effort searching for the Shikaku crumbs. This isn’t spoiler free and I’m including a read more for the mobile users bc there’s about 54 episodes to cover all together. 

(The episode titles that are in italics are my personal favorites!) 

So here we go: 

NARUTO (PART ONE):

Episode 59: “The Final rounds: Rush to the Battle Arena” (Chunin Arc)

He’s in it for a few minutes in the beginning. You get to see drunk Shikaku so that’s worth it. He wasn’t expecting Shikamaru to make it past the first part of the exams. 

Episode 79: “Beyond the Limit of Darkness and Light” (Konoha Crush)

3 minutes at best. The good news, we get to see InoShikaCho in action. The bad news in order to see the whole thing you gotta skip to Shippuden episode 239. 

Episode 98: “Tsunade’s Warning: A Ninja No More!” (Tsunade Retrieval) 

4 minutes. He tries to explain to Shikamaru that women are strong but his son is in his “bleh all women suck” stage so much for that speech. I’m just there for the chain mail t-shirt.

Episode 110: “Formation! The Sasuke Retrieval Squad” (Sasuke Arc)

Only in the very beginning reiterating that Yoshino is a strong woman and her smile is the reason he loves her. Everyone knows the speech. 

Episode 135: “The Promise that Could Not Be Kept” (Sasuke Arc)

He’s in it for a whole 5 minutes but those minutes are important. Shikaku tries to make Shikamaru understand that quitting the shinobi lifestyle after his first failure won’t stop the fighting but, if he stays he can lead teams and prevent others from dying. It seemed tough but those words stuck to Shikamaru. Also Shikaku smiles because Tsunade complements him? Hello?

NARUTO SHIPPUDEN (PART TWO)

Episode 82: “Team Ten”  (Asuma’s Death)

Jumping right in he’s in this episode for 6 minutes however it’s an important bit. He knows Shikamaru is suffering and he also knows shinobi shouldn’t be emotionless when it comes to grief. Key lines: “I’m proud to be your parent” and once Shikamaru starts crying he quietly tells his son “I’ll pick up your pieces”. 

Episode 89: “The Price of Power.” (Kakuzu/Hidan Fight)

5 minutes. Shikamaru catches up with his father after enacting his revenge. The discuss the answer to Asuma’s riddle. It’s a sweet moment. 

Episode 163: “Explode! Sage Mode!” (Pain arc) 

Maybe like 30 seconds. He makes sure his son is okay after Pain destroys Konoha.

Episode 164: “Danger! Sage Mode Limit Reached!” (Pain arc)

His only line in this is “Sit tight Shikamaru.” 

Episode 165: “Nine-Tails, Captured!” (Pain Arc)

He’s in it for 10 minutes. Inoichi, Ino, Shikamaru, Shiho and Shikaku come up with a way to take Pain down. Notable line: Shikamaru tells Ino to stop crying over Ino and Shikaku asks his son to “say it nicer.” 

Episode 166: “Confessions” (Pain Arc)

If you blink you’ll miss him. He confirms something and the Inoichi takes over. I did say crumbs. 

Episode 169: “The Two Students” (Pain Arc)

5 whole minutes. Naruto wants to leave to find the Real Pain to talk abut Inoichi thinks talking will get no where and attempts to stop Naruto. Shikaku steps in and tells Naruto to go. When Inoichi asks why he let Naruto go, Shikaku explains that his son convinced him that Naruto is the future. 

Episode 173: “The Origin of Pain” (Pain Arc)

Literally just the omake at the very end. The cute parts: Shikaku smiles, he makes dad noises after InoShikaCho makes their pose, and they forgot Shino’s dad.  

Episode 175: “Hero of the Leaf” (Pain Arc)

His only line is: “Naruto has settled things.” 

Episode 177: “Iruka’s Ordeal” (Filler)

3 minutes of screen time but! this is the episode where Shikamaru asks him about Naruto. Shikaku asks his son if he thinks Naruto is good. Shika does so Shikaku says then you should be his friend. Another cute dad moment. 

Episode 178: “Iruka’s Decision.” (Filler arc / Pain ending ) 

He appears the last few minutes explaining to Yamato what happened to the village. 

Episode 179: “Kakashi Hatake, the Jonin in Charge” (Filler)

Shikaku is throughout the episode it’s worth watching him fight Danzo during the Council meeting. He plugs Kakashi’s name as the next Hokage and he has a cute little flashback where he makes sure Asuma is going to be a good jonin leader to his son. Notable line “Take care of my son.”  

Episode 217: “The Infiltrator” (Konoha Rebulid) 

Literally the only shot. If you blink you will miss him. 

Episode 218: “The Five Great Nations Mobilize” (Konoha Rebuild)

That’s it. Right there. That’s the only part. He wants his son to join him in the pre war council. 

Episode 219: “Kakashi Hatake, the Hokage” (Konoha Rebuild)

5 minutes. He gets Kakashi and walks him to the Council room. Kakashi explains he’d much rather have Shikaku be the Hokage and he tells Kakashi that he’s too old and he should be retired by now. 

Episode 220: “Prophecy of the Great Lord Elder” (Pre-War Arc)

2 minute screen time. He discusses the war council with Shikamaru. 

Episode 222: “The Five Kage’s Decision.” (Pre-War Arc)

He speaks for 2 minutes but he’s mostly floating around behind Tsunade. He brings up some war plans and looks cute doing it. 

Episode 231: “The Closed Routine” (Pre-War Arc)

Just 5 mins of him talking about more war plans. Most of the Pre-war and War eps is just him yelling plans to Tsunade or Inoichi. He is the Brilliant Military Advisor of the Leaf after all. 

Episode 234: “Naruto’s Favorite Pupil” (Pre-War Arc)

That’s all. Right there. 

Episode 239: “The Legendary Ino-Shika-Cho” (Konoha Crush/Filler) 

The return of the pelt and chain mail t-shirt bless. The episode is full of Shikaku. More than half of the episode is about the best trio during Konoha Crush. All the little bits you didn’t get in episode 79. 

Episode 243: “Land Ahoy! Is this the Paradise Island?” (Pre-War Arc)

If you blink you’ll miss him. He’s in the very beginning and that’s it. 

Episode 248: “The Fourth Hokage’s death Match!” (Filler)

You get one whole minute of Shikaku yelling at people to evacuate the area. 

Episode 256: “Assemble! Allied Shinobi Forces!” (War Arc)

Shikaku discusses the first meeting strategy for the war and then assembles the medical squad. 3 minutes tops. 

Episode 267: “The Brilliant Military Advisor of the Hidden Leaf!” (War Arc)

One of the best episodes. It’s all about Shikaku and his brilliant mind. Key points: Onoki mentions how amazing Shikaku’s plan is and even when there was a hiccup Shikaku managed to reroute his original idea into a successful one. 

Episode 270: “Golden Bonds” (War Arc)

Physically he’s in the episode for 2 minutes but he does a lot of disembodied voice overs to Shikamaru. Key lines: He tells Shikamaru, Ino, and Choji to “Be confident” and that “when old legends die, new ones are born” to try and cheer the kids up. It worked. 

[kakakakashi]

Okay hear me out. Kakashi getting so into roleplay he dresses up as Sukea so he can do a dirty photo shoot with you

……. I have had many Sukea ideas before, and this is one I always love. I want to do my take on Sukea eventually, but I haven’t gotten to that part of the story yet, so I want to see the canon content before I try. (I’m on Shippuden ep 164.)

There are some wonderful works out there, though. I reblogged one of my favorites a little while ago called “Studio Time” by @elysianseraph which can be found here. Please read it. It’s… just yes. It’s not Sukea, but it’s still great Kakashi content. Or as I call it, kakontent.

Either way, Sukea is 100% in my future. And Shisui. I just have to get there first. Ha ha ha ha! *laughter turns to tears* There’s just SO MUCH! And I don’t care about half of it… but I can’t find it in me to skip. That’s my ninja way!

Does Bones have a BKDK ‘agenda’?

mysterylover123 

The speculation I’ve seen so far about why Bones cut the flashback from the TodoBaku scenes in Chapter 164/Episode 79 is because they were ‘so preoccupied with BKDK in the new movie that they forgot about Bakugou’s development with Todoroki”. Which does raise the question, does Bones indeed have a BKDK shipping agenda of some kind?

The idea of an anime studio preferring a pairing and adding in tons of extra material to bias fans towards it is an absolutely founded suspicion. Clamp putting out official homoerotic art of Suzaku/Lelouch, that foot wash scene Madhouse added to Death Note between L and Light, Pierrot pretty obviously liking SasuNaru and Naruhina and throwing in tons of extra material for both; Studios do do this. They prefer certain pairings and they play them up. So does Bones have a BKDK agenda? 

The answer I’ve found on examination is a resounding “YES”, but Ive preserved my ‘let’s find out’ tone of writing for the rest of the examination.

Well, let’s start with the OPs and EDs, the first original contributions Bones was able to make in the adaptation. “The Day” does indeed have a long sequence focusing on them, but it’s not unreasonable given the content of S1. “Peace Sign” doesn’t include anything in particular, nor do ED1 or 2. ED 3, “Sora Ni Utaeba”, does have a scene of Kacchan meditating about Deku and getting mad, then blasting towards him at the end and the match-cut with his eye. But this is pretty minor, and fits episode 2.24. ED3, “Datte Atashi No Hero”, is the first time an OP or ED appears to have an agenda of shipping these two, hardcore. LiSa’s song is, according to her, about their relationship, and the Fantasy AU ending has the mutual understanding shot at the end. But it also has smiling prince Shoto, Dragon Kiri and Uraraka greeting Deku, so other ships get a nod too.

“Odd Future” has very little, though one could interpret the snow behind Deku as meaning something romantic. “Update” does include the lines ‘love’ over and over again in the final shot where they stand together watching the stars, but others are there as well, like Shoto and Ochako. Aside from the symbolism of DVK2 in OP5, the rest of S3’s ops are pretty light on BKDK, as was Polaris and ED6, and our current OP too. However, ED7 did have those mirror shots of them brooding in bed, and growing up.

So yes, the OPs and EDs do have a lot of emphasized shots between them. But nothing too crazy. Let’s get into Filler, movies and changes to episodes now.

Season 1 features no filler and no overt tweaks to any episodes; the only bit of added on BKDK I can think of is Deku blushing as a kid during the flashbacks in DVK part 1. Nothing too dramatic in Season 2 either, as the filler ep is about Tsu and nothing is particularly altered from the manga, besides throwing in the Kabe-Don in Katsuki Bakugo Origin. OK, that’s a big besides, given the sexual implications of that in anime culture. Season 3’s filler ep has Bakugo challenging Deku to a swimming contest, but there’s also a bit of TodoDeku and KiriBaku and IiDeku extra teasing there, so again, nothing like a pure bKDK-based agenda.

The 2nd filler ep of S3 has a little BKDK, as does the film, but nothing overt. The film has a bit of KiriBaku agenda, given all their scenes together, and throws in extra TodoBaku (the first bit of extra TodoBaku, alongside Episode 58, that they tossed our way). S4 gave us Deku’s soft smile at Kacchan’s antics, and contemplating on the retake arc last ep, indicating that Bones is indeed including little nods. And now there’s Heroes Rising, though that one was Hori’s idea.

My theory is that Bones does kinda like the ship, but that they have started including more and more BKDK because of how popular it’s getting. Winning the Tokyo Tower contest for the film, the 12,000+ fanfics, the unceasing winners of the Popularity Polls….my guess is Bones knows how popular BKDK is, so they’re adding in more fan service of it. But they were adding in little bits since Season 1 (The cherry blossoms, the smol Deku blush), so saying they have a bit of a BKDK agenda might…not be inaccurate. They do throw in a bit of Fanservice for other ships too, like Izuocha, KiriBaku, Tododeku, and even TodoBaku a little.

But aside from the popularity of BKDK…I think it’s also the key relationship of the series. Everything at it’s core is about them, they’re the main characters and the main focus, so it doesn’t seem too silly to slip in lots of them. But they’ve never had trouble tantalizing other pairings before this, even if they always added more to BKDK than the others. So I don’t think they cut TodoBaku’s scene just because they like another pairing better. I mean, that wouldn’t make much sense anyway.

But that is what started this discussion, so now we come to the real main question. Is Bones downplaying TodoBaku for BKDK? Certainly, BKDK is the only platonic pairing in canon that they’ve slipped quasi-romantic fanservice into in the anime (the blush, the cherry blossoms, the kabe-don, all things that have more romantic implications than anything done with Tododeku or Kiribaku). This needs another closer look.

In Season 1, Bones doesn’t especially play up Todoroki, or his future significance. No extra glances that aren’t in the manga, no closeup shots on him when he’s not the subject of a scene, etc. S1 is pretty much a straightforward adaptation of Chapters 1-21, no filler added, no noticeable agenda either way. In S2, that remains the truth for most of the season. I did notice that Bones makes some small changes in season 2 to the framing on Bakugou in a few scenes, like In Episode 25 where he’s made to look especially menacing Pre-last match, or Episode 27 where Jeanist physically restrains him (not in the manga). I’m not sure what agenda that might push, if any, as far as the ships go.

The season added in a scene of Bakugou tutoring Kirishima, which is in one of the Light novels and not the manga. They also, of course, as I mentioned above, added in the Kabe-don in Katsuki Bakugo Origin, as well as that entire alleyway sequence. The filler episode has a small scene between Deku and Todoroki that could be read as shippy. But yes, in S2, Bones doesn’t add in any extra, non-manga Todobaku.

The drama CDs and Smash, interestingly enough, do. Neither seems to have a lot of Todo/Deku, but they sure like slipping in TodoBaku subtext. There’s 2 drama CDs where they get stuck together by villains who want to scandalize them with compromising photographs, and multiple Smash comics joking about how their heated interactions come off as sexual tension. Of course, Smash has fanservice for pretty much every ship at some point.

In S3′s filler ep, Bakugo does yell at Todoroki “you too” after challenging Deku. It’s pretty minor, but it’s new stuff. Everything for the rest of the Training Camp arc is manga-canon and straightforward, as is the hideout raid. No real playing up of any one pairing over the other. The PLE arc adds in some filler that does seem to be hinting at a slight Todo/Momo agenda, since it has her wonder ‘what would Todoroki do’?, and indeed if Bones has a Shoto Ship leaning in any direction, it’s probably that one. But nothing extra added to BKDK or Todobaku that wasn’t in the manga already.

Episode 58 and the movie, however, do add in TodoBaku scenes. Their same usual dynamic from before, of course. Bones seems to see TodoBaku as essentially, how a lot of the fans see them: Bakugou antagonizing Shoto and Shoto’s reaction being an unbrideled ‘meh’. They do depict them working together in the film, and having a secret grin - though that grin has to do with BKDK a little. In context, Baku is being soft that Deku and All Might won, Shoto sees it, and smirks, making him tsun-tsun. 

S4 did add an extra scene in Filler ep 3 where they talk about their future plans. There’s an adjusted reaction from Deku in the next ep, where he smiles fondly at Katsuki. The new OP also doesn’t show Todoroki and Bakugou together, alone in any of the shots of them; they’re always separate, brooding about their own problems, when this OP could’ve been a good time to show them together.  Outside of crowd shots, they don’t share the screen.

So yes, all in all, the conspiracy theory idea might not be so far off. Bones definitely does include little nods to BKDK that make it even shippier, and does seem to be downplaying TodoBaku a bit, at least more so than the Drama CDs. I don’t know if that’s good or bad, since at least unlike Naru/Hina vs Naru/saku, it’s unlikely to actually influence the series’ content - there is no actual love triangle here to be played up or played down, just fanon ships. Still, it is noteable.

EPISODE 164

Honorable mentions:

Idea: Arlo becomes a fake joker. Idk if he does it either to take down john or just try to use the authority to fix the school, but im entertained by the idea lmao

I miss Cecile but that’s just a given. I miss her even when she’s in the actual episode lol

Technically Arlo’s not the king anymore but everyone’s still terrified of him and I live for that

Arlo and Rei’s ‘I always have a reason’ parallels are great but that just be my love for parallels talking im not sure yet

Not gonna talk about Blyke again until we see him next because apparently you guys very much disagreed with what i said about what he was going to do in my last episode thing so- I want more information to do off of, but honestly, im still kind of sticking to what I originally thought. Blyke getting enhancement drugs, it makes sense you guys are just mean isudhgfusjhgf

Back on that ‘anyways is my favorite word’ agenda

Colors are nice

The last section isn’t very professional but thats just because i was freaking out about the last scene and it very much shows im just so excited guys

This episode, episode 164, marks the 50th episode since I started writing these, so that’s fun.

Also: this is over a week late, I know, but until i post this, know that i haven’t read any episodes after this episode (ep 164). A lot of times when I am late with these I either forget (it’s constant and often and becoming an issue) or im doing something else that’s creative related that i feel the same obligation to do as the obligation to do this (? Making sense? Not sure), and school.so that’s why this is late oops

Ignore that its not important im just sorry this is late

Anyway, here’s the analysis/commentary/review (? Still confused about this) for episode 164

Also half of this is not proofread because theres a chance if i do that ill get even more writers block even though that technically shouldn’t happen but it does and i just want this out so sorry if some sentences completely cut off or i just don’t talk about something because oops is it worth it at this point

Fake Jokers:

Starting with this because, hey, chronological order. In the beginning of this episode Arlo is approaching a group of students gathered around a piece of paper stuck onto the bulletin board saying that there are fake jokers running around. One of the bystanders is seen saying, “I wouldn’t mind being Joker for a day.” This isn’t very concerning by itself because we already know that people are already doing this, but I just want to point out that the reporter who tried to publish the story about the fake Jokers argued that they should because the students needed to be warned against the fake jokers. What the bystander in this episode tells us is that this reporter was wrong and Isen was in fact right (we been knew but).

Something bigger that I want to bring up is that now because lots of students have been exposed to the idea of faking being Joker, more and more are obviously going to be doing it, which I kind of already just said, but the consequences of such a thing are what intrigue me. If the school is suddenly filled with fake jokers and students are already aware that the majority of the jokers are fake, the Joker mantle is going to lose its significance. No student would take any joker seriously, even if it happened to be the real one.

The thing about that is that the real Joker, John, won’t be able to use his authority as well anymore. If nobody recognizes Joker as the king anymore (what with so many low-tiers also wearing the mask), they’re not going to listen to him. It basically means that John wouldn’t be king anymore. And, though I’m still confused on if John even really wants to be king, if he wanted to be, if he wanted that authority, he would have to find a better way to present himself. It means that John would either have to figure out a way to separate himself from the other jokers (I don’t really know) or reveal his identity to the whole school. This would be something huge, especially because, to John’s knowledge, Sera doesn’t even know who he is yet. But who knows, by the time the decision rolls around or things escalate enough, he might have figured out what she knows.

Another interesting idea is that John would take advantage of this situation to let himself be lost among the fake jokers and disappear, leaving the school without a king anymore and also in chaos, because honestly who. Knows. What the fuck. He wants. Not me.

I do think, however, that John will stay as king. Because every once in a while he’ll make some comment suggesting that, and in one of the recent episodes, he got pissed that someone was impersonating him and if wants to blend in again and not be recognized for his power, I doubt he would act like that.

Isen/Arlo confrontation:

So, in this episode we get Isen yelling at Arlo, which you love to see, and I’m here to talk about it yay.

Isen, at the beginning of the scene, is very nervous and scared of what Arlo would do when he comes, which is very understandable. That dude is scary but anyways, once Arlo does show up and starts yelling, which was exactly what Isen was afraid of, instead of letting himself retreat into his fear, Isen argues back at Arlo, which to be fair probably wasn’t an active decision, supported by how he acts after he yells at Arlo. Isen just blurts out what’s in his head and it’s pretty eye-opening. Isen yells that he never wanted to be given any of the responsibilities given to him by Arlo. He specifically talks about his role as head of the newspaper, but he says later in a much more general way that Arlo forces people into responsibilities that they either don’t want or aren’t ready for. This makes me think back to the beginning of the comic when Arlo made Isen dig up information on John. Isen acted pretty scared and squirrelly once he found out something he knew Arlo wouldn’t want to hear, and that behavior is very much repeated in this episode. Anyway, back to what’s happening currently. Isen defends himself against Arlo saying that Arlo’s accusations weren’t even fair because Isen tried to do the best he could to stop the news of the fake jokers from getting out. Also, it really doesn’t make sense to be blaming Isen for someone else leaking the information (without him knowing) and posting it on a public board (not even affiliated with the school newspaper). What happened is not a result of Isen’s bad leadership, or at least that what Isen tries to argue. Arlo has some other ideas on that subject though. Arlo thinks that if Isen were a better leader, the other students would just listen to him and not go behind his back to publish the information, which I have some thoughts on.

First of all, the fact that Arlo thinks this is the bare minimum for leadership speaks a lot about him. Arlo was the last king of Wellston, which means he was a leader, and he doesn’t think he was a bad one. I think Arlo thought he was a really great leader, because he was to be honest. He fixed the mess that Rei made and kept the students under control. Anyway, Arlo thinking that people follow good leaders with this blind loyalty and trust means that that was the case under his leadership. I just want to say that this probably means that Arlo thinks John is a shit leader, but we been knew. But who knows, John might have that kind of leadership and it would be for the same reason that I think Arlo did: power. Arlo is obviously one of the most powerful people at Wellston. Even more so than his title of king, and probably even his leadership skills, there is no doubt that the reason so many people followed him was this, especially considering the type of society UnOrdinary was. John, as Joker, has lots of authority and power among the Wellston students, which we talked about in the first section, and no one can doubt that it’s because of one thing: his power. People follow powerful people, it’s the way of the world, it’s how hierarchy works. But what I want to point out in relation to this episode is that Arlo seems to pushing this expectation of “leadership” onto Isen. Arlo is undoubtedly a fantastic leader, but as I keep. Repeating. His power plays a huge part in the respect given to him. Isen, though definitely more powerful than some, doesn’t exactly have that power. Not to the extent that Arlo or John has at least. And because of this, obviously, doing what Arlo and John are doing won’t work in the same way for Isen because it’s not enough. He doesn’t have that power backing him up, which is why Arlo’s expectations are unreasonable for him, which is why Isen keeps saying that he can’t do it and it understanding this is why Arlo keeps saying that Isen can. The line, “we’re not all as capable as you are!” From Isen really emphasizes this, though it probably was misunderstood by Arlo as, ‘we’re not as good leaders are you are,’ which might also be true, but that’s not what Isen’s trying to communicate.

Now that I’ve talked about that, there’s something else in this scene that catches attention. After Isen’s outburst at him, Arlo thinks about what he said and firstly, agrees with Isen that he really does set high expectations for people, but secondly, he says that, “it’s never without a reason…” Now, this stood out over Isen’s argument when I first read the episode because of how blunt the statement is. It surprised me in a kind of way. Arlo telling himself that he always has a reason for setting high expectations of people. I was especially intrigued by the pairing of that statement with Arlo’s mental image of John. If Arlo truly feels that he had a reason for believing in John, what was it? I know that he wanted John to accept his responsibilities as a high-tier, but that’s not what Arlo is saying in this episode. He’s saying there’s a reason that he gives people responsibility. Does Arlo have some specific reason for wanting John to have authority? Does it go past that drive inside of Arlo that tells him that people need to be put into their places just because. I wouldn’t really be thinking much about this at all (especially considering that it it very in character for Arlo to make John resume his place purely to secure them hierarchy) if it wasn’t for the fact that only John’s face showed up in between the lines, “I do set high expectations for others,” and, “But it’s never without a reason…” the placement automatically makes me assume that it was chosen for a reason. But who knows, that might just have been a way to remind the reader that Arlo is constantly being reminded of what happened between him and John and how it affected everything.

Anyway, these lines also have me thinking about Arlo’s recent turmoil with himself about John and the part Arlo played in the whole Joker situation. We know that Arlo has been blaming himself for this for a while now because without his interference, John would never have decided to dethrone him and all of the other royals, or at least not to the extent that he did. But in this episode, seeing Arlo talk about how everything he does has a reason and especially those later panels after Arlo leaves the room showing him when he was younger, it’s starting to make me think that Arlo is changing his way of thinking.

“But it’s never without a reason” He swings wildly from agreeing with his past decisions and disagreeing with them, but maybe because this is the most recent, he’s finally realized that he hasn’t been the one in the wrong this whole time. I’m not exactly sure and I don’t want to assume based completely off of one scene, but I really am hoping for some development in this way for Arlo because a. I love him and b. More hatred centered around John, which would mean more drama and I love that. Not much more to say about this

The Talk (wink wink):

I hate what i called this section because i thought of it at like 4am but i dont know what else to call it so- anyways the biggest thing that happened this episode has to be when Arlo and Seraphina met up to talk because if you read my posts, you know that I’ve been begging for this for a while and can I say, im hyped.

First, I want to start with something small, but something that is bothering me. Seraphina seems so pissed at Arlo doing this whole scene, and for what? Honestly, I hope im not biased or anything because I absolutely love Arlo, but he really hasn’t done much wrong in this whole joker situation. The only rational reason I can think of for Sera being pissed at him is because of the whole Arlo fighting john in that clearing like a long fucking time ago. Which, you know, I understand, but at the same time, recently, Arlo has obviously been trying to only help you and tell you the truth, you were the one who was being difficult. I honestly think that she’s just in this state of pissed off because of John, but i don’t know. I hope I’m not forgetting any shit because if im being honest, i don’t pay as much attention to her storyline as I should, especially recently, because i do not care that much for her character, at least not as much as the others. So yeah. R.I.P. that. I don’t know. This isn’t important i think im just very Arlo biased sorry bout that.

OKAY FIRST OF ALL THEIR CONVERSATION STARTING WITH ARLO REMINISCING WITH SERAPHINA ABOUT WHEN THEY WERE THE KING AND QUEEN OF WELLSTON IS ACTUALLY BASICALLY EXACTRLY HOW IVE WRITTEN WHAT I WANT THEIR FRIENDSHIP TO BECOME AFTER THIS AND I WISH THEY TALKED MORE ABOUT THAT ASPECT BECAYSE i would actually die for Arlo and sera to realize that the only thing that kept them apart was not realizing how much they had in fucking common and in reality they were the two people who understood each other the most and i know i sound very confusing because i just talked about how i love Arlo and how i dont love sera all that much but that is beside. The. Point.

Anyway, Arlo talks about how successful their leadership was (back to that common motif of leadership that Arlo just seems to carry around) and how now that that’s changed, the school’s whole vibe has been horribly threw off and shit is happening and he has no clue how to fix it ( I am so sorry for my god awful gen z vocabulary I realize these posts become just completely cheapened because of that but i dont know how else to communicate sorry bout that). Anyway, this struck me as a weird way to start this conversation because Arlo hadn’t reached out to sera before this to talk about john (after she found out about him at least) and it seems to me that he would want to talk to her about that, but the disarming way that Arlo starts talking took me off guard. I’m not really sure about why yet or what I want to say about that,but that confused me.

Anyway, it doesn’t really matter because sera brings up john herself and directs that conversation where we knew it would go, but at the same time she starts talking about feelings too and this is just so weird because Arlo and sera both are characters who we’re not used to really seeing talk about their feelings and stuff. I think that this has changed though recently for both of them because of the stuff they’ve been through and im here for it, but anyways, i should really talk about the actual contents of their conversation hold up.

But the thing fucking is.

I have to wait for the next episode to fucking get the actual content of their conversation ikfuhefhbejkfhieuhfgieughfnierugniejnrgkjergnkejgnieknjgvkdlnv. *upset noises*

Ep 163

I love that every time Jon’s all spooky and poetic Martin’s just like “speak English motherfucker”

Just as I typed that...”you’re being ominous again :/“ “sorry”

BAGPIPES

“Im sorry. There’s just so much”

Ooooh this is making me excited. I live for the moments where 1. Jon and Martin talk to eachother or 2. Jon’s powers “make” him do something others find uncomfortable like spilling unnecessary facts, healing super quickly (not dying), monologues as if he’s reading a statement Like now, in the trenches and about himself, Martin, and the cabin in the second person)

I’m so glad Martin’s got good boundaries and relationship skills now. He’s setting that line and telling Jon not to cross it so Jon does his best. That’s really nice. (This is referring to Martin telling Jon not to tell him “these things”)

I just remembered in episode 160, those little squeaks that came out of Jon when he tried to resist reading the statements. That’s also the kind of thing I like. I mentioned earlier that I was impressed by the idea of people using Jon’s inability to stop reading as a weapon against him when annabelle cane did it. It happened again in 160 to a Much Greater End and I Really Liked That

Ooh that bit with the barbed wire was effective

I wonder if there’s a logic behind who gets caught in which power’s domain in the apocalypse.

Ep 164

I think so far the actual statements are a bit less effective in season 5 but the character bits, with Jon and Martin specifically, are much more interesting and fun to listen to. I think the issue of the statements is that they haven’t focused on one main character and the scenarios don’t feel plausible so I can’t imagine myself in them. The bit with the barbed wire was good because it got very specific but the rest of that story felt kind of hollow.

“Maybe everything” 👀 wait what did Martin tell Jon his middle name was?

Oh no Daisy )’:

I’ve said it a million times (maybe) and I’ll say it again. I Love Jon Using His Powers

I bet Melanie and Georgie are in the lonely

“That sounds...gross” lol

Jon: I am become Post-Apocalyptic Google, destroyer of worlds

“The happy couple”

.....”happy”

“I am NOT nor have I ever been...adorable”

Ep 165

JON WENT ON A MERRY GO ROUND

What does he mean by “it’s an old friend?”

I like the way Jon’s reading this one.

OH HE CANT SEE MELANIE CAUSE SHE DOESNT HAVE EYES I GET IT NOW

Martin: “I’m trying to avoid thinking about it, actually”

SFX: screams directly in my ear

OOOOOOoooooh Not-Sasha...

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

SO THATS WHAT THE BOOTY SHORTS LINE WAS REFERENCING

Martin is very impressed with his boyfriend and I am right there with him

Ep 166

Oooooh that’s a cool explanation

HA Jon said fuck

Martin has a point tho. I love him. “Get our murder on” hell yeah

Why we were robbed with Hischer: analysis

Hischer is the Dark Disciple that appears less than all the others. He is shown to lose the easiest by Gadjah, probably to point out how strong the Spirit Guardians already are. Of course it's not like everyone would care about the sidest of the side villains, but I did (and kind of dragged some friends to it), and after many thoughts, I ended up realising that Hischer himself had a huge potential as an opponent and character.

Read under the cut!

We do see certain development to the other Disciples, especially Foyal and Gaderois in 160-161 (manga chapters 234- 237) who fought against Yuno, Klaus and Letoile, heard their thoughts and learned things about their personalities (I can analyse them in another post if you want, and yeah I don't think it will be what you think (or will it?)). We also see certain development in Svenkin, Halbet and Sivoir (eps 163-164, Manga 248- 250), which allows us to understand their fighting styles and personalities. Even Robero got slightly more development (which, *cracks knuckles* well... I also have things to say about it but in another episode of Katrin rant posts). But Hischer got literally none. And his fight was the lamest I have ever seen.

First of all about his personality:

The pictures of his face give us many hints on how he is as a person, plus the information on his profile. They reason I fell for him was actually his smile and energy, and face in general drawn on his profile. It radiates an energetic person, probably kind of crazy with no hesitation and clever as well. In the anime he is also shown to be smug and very confident. It is also stated that he likes cooking, which also makes him creative.

The thing is, he has not more than one line that throws all this to the trash can, with making him look like a sheep to Vanica. He could really be so much more than that, have actual lines that show his beliefs and emotions, and enrich his battle with Gadjah, and more importantly, his general role in the series.

About his Fighting style: the lost potential of Nail Magic.

In the Manga and Anime all we get is some cameos that show him as one of the menacing opponents. Which is not wrong by itself, but, the execution is actually badly made. All he does is standing in the middle of people (one or two Guardians shown at least) and some giant mushrooms, spreading his nails.

This may look impressive at first, but the more you start thinking of it, the more boring it gets. It also makes him look like a coward, instead of a worthy opponent for Gadjah and Sarado. If the Spirit Guardians are that strong, I think it would be more appropriate if we got to see that in this particular fight, and not done like that. Hischer could be a bit (or a lot) more feral and energetic in his fighting style.

What more abilities Nail Magic can have and could be shown in the fight:

Climbing rocks and trees

Nails used as brakes for sprinting

Close combat sharp / animal like / ninja weapon -esque nails

Plus this will sound like a joke, but he could also rock his toe nails well and I'm not joking at all. I actually even think he wears sandal boots for this reason. His kicks could be fatal if his nails cut through his target. Too much lost potential.

Plus this is not only about his fighting techniques, but also the character he showed in the fight. Instead of just playing arrogant and sitting from a distance to fight, he could really play like a crazy madman with no hesitation and no understanding of danger, he could be fast as lightning and make Gadjah's moments a pain. This would even benefit Gadjah as a character. It would show that he can fight a visibly strong and lively opponent and win, living up to the reputation of the Spirit Guardians.

Overall, Hischer is having extremely little screen time, which is unfair to his potential and it would be more exciting to see him fight intensely, show a dynamic personality and be a real obstacle to his opponents.

That's all I had to say, hope you found it interesting :3
