As much as I love Nobara’s comeback, I’m also disappointed that it came this late on

Fushiguro and Itadori had this dramatic exploration and evolution of their relationship, adding layers to both characters and deepening their connection. Meanwhile Nobara’s fake death feels a bit like it was used to sideline her, to avoid having to develop her as much

Fushiguro’s been both losing and finding a reason to live, Itadori’s finally realising how awful his cog mentality really is and is levelling up to be even stronger than Sukuna

Meanwhile Nobara’s the same person she was four years of manga earlier. Even if she does develop or improve over the next five chapters, those aren’t going to change her 143 absent chapters, which I don’t need to remind you is over half of jjk

As much as I like Gege’s writing, I feel like her “comeback twist” just ended up with it feeling like the story has significantly less respect for her character than the rest of the first year trio

I am SO happy about her comeback, but couldn’t she have returned a little earlier? I mean the stakes have been very high for a very long time in the manga, so it could have been just as effective as her “last minute return” fifty chapters ago for all I think

She’s introduced as a main character but missing for half the story

Heard this audio and thought it related to my recent experience lol

Specifically thinking about long distance relationships today.

So tell me how you and your f/o would first meet online?

How the fandom will react if…..

…. Jeremy is the romantic interest

…. There is no romantic interest

…. The romantic interest is a completely new character

…. Renee is the romantic interest

…. Kevin is the romantic interest

I’m getting the vibe (from the literal crumbs we’ve gotten about him) that Davrin is gonna be dragon age’s version of a loose ranger archetype.

He’s a monster hunter with hella tracking skills described as more stern than people might think + he has a literal animal companion… like im rly hoping they kind of go for that cool guy ranger type character with him it’ll be different from any other companion we’ve had in the past and that sort of archetype tends to be a fan favorite in fantasy media as far as I’ve seen (and for good reason) sooooo, I’m excited

Feel like bioware has been rly underselling what makes Davrin cool outside of just ‘look at his pet griffon! did u know he has a pet griffon? etc etc’ and I’m not sure why cause literally all the info about Davrin as a character specifically has been really interesting and different imo??

[mtndw-whteout]

About the WIP tag/ask game: the one named "reflections" looks interesting, so maybe that? I've seen its related to your Detective AU and that makes me curious (really cool AU I must say)

HEHEH I’m glad you find it cool

This is actually a preview for chapter 3…. But don’t tell any1 ok !!

[carpisuns]

gaining a new interest/joining a new fandom is always kind of intimidating it feels like there’s so much you’ve missed out on by not enjoying this thing before so you’re like GRAHHHH got to catch up so I can have peak enjoyment like all the Enjoying This Thing experts around here! which is so silly bc if you enjoy a thing you’re already there but. yknow

Jetstream x Merlin

23 + 27

23. Do they like pick up lines?

Merlin totally tries all the cheesy lines he can think of on JetStream. She totally thinks it’s all very silly but loves them none the less! Merlin is a certified goofball so she knew what she was getting into haha Besides- JetStream does well with a goof by her side, helps her loosen up a bit.

27. Who would propose? What would their wedding be like? Merlin proposed during a trip to Ponyville while on shore leave. This is around the time when he’s getting close to retiring from his time in the military and the two already decided that they’d get married once he was out. It wasn’t anything too grand as that isn’t Stream’s speed. I like to think maybe after dinner they went for a walk right after a rain storm came through so everything was reflecting light in a pretty way and it was probably getting closer to sunset so once they found themselves in a nice looking spot (maybe on a bridge?) Merlin would pop the question.

As for wedding? No idea honestly- I figured if I brought Ask-JetStream back Merlin would still be her finance so I haven’t really given it much thought. I could see them doing something maybe renting out a barn? Have the party in the old barn and the ceremony in a neat field or something? No idea haha

this is not really my brand at all but I’m just going to rant about Toy Story 5 for a hot second because the D23 sneak peek made me so mad.

TLDR: Toy Story 5 (and 4) ruin what made the first three films so special.

I’ll start this off by saying I ADORE Toy Story 3. It’s one of my favorite Pixar films. I was 10 when this movie came out, I remember going to like three Walmarts just to find a Jessie doll, and carrying her around with me in my bag all summer. I still have that doll, she’s very special to me.

Part of what makes the first three films so good is the passage of time. First two movies came out within 4 years of each other (1995 and 1999), third movie came out 11 years later in 2010. Andy is a kid in the first two films, maybe he doesn’t age exactly four years between 1 and 2 but he doesn’t have to we’re still in the range of childhood years, in the 90s. When the third movie came out a significant amount of time had passed in the real world, and thus it had in TS3. We quite literally felt the passage of time in that movie along with the toys. THAT is what made that movie so captivating and special, those trailers were so bittersweet and magical and REAL. I remember it so well. The third movie also FEELS like 2010 that movie EXUDES early 2010s it’s so comfy and nice (minus the traumatizing fire scene ofc)

(more below the cut)

Nine years later TS4 comes along and even tho the animation is prettier and the film seems to take place in the 2020s. everyone is the same age. Bonnie has aged what, a year? Over the course of nine real years? whereas Andy went from kid to college bound in a similar amount of time? where is the real world connection?

but ya know I gave the film the benefit of the doubt, I saw it I liked it I loved forky. But the emotional connection wasn’t there the way it was for TS3. But oh well that’s it right? How do you continue the franchise after that ending?

but OH! NOW TS5 is coming out in 2026, seven years later and GUESS WHAT!!! BONNIE IS STILL A KID. Look at this concept art!! She is very clearly still a kid.

she’ll have been a kid for 16 years at this point!! what is this, despicable me? (that’s a rant for another day shdjdjdj)

And she’s an iPad kid now which I mean. Yes. That’s a relevant issue for today’s kids. A GREAT concept for a TS movie. But Bonnie is not the character to portray this storyline. She’s not one of today’s kids she is a kid of the 2010s she was born in like. 2005. BONNIE should be in college and/or starting her own career now. Not an iPad kid. The toys should be with someone else, maybe a younger sister or cousin.

Plus!!! Guess who’s back in Bonnie’s room! Woody!!! so much for him saying goodbye to the others forever to be with his one true love right? The end of TS4 was not my favorite initially but I applauded the writers’ decision to make such a bold choice and change to the status quo. It echoed TS3 in a way, even if it cheapened the end of that film somewhat for me (in my heart the true TS canon ends at TS3 and TS4 is just a possible timeline it could branch off into).

But I guess the moving sacrificial end of your film doesn’t really matter when you can just change it in the next film!! 🙄

I love the sequence of the first three films so much, I love how they take place in the eras they come out in while also moving the timeline along.

Bonnie going from being born in 2005 to the late 2010s AT THE EARLIEST for these films to make any sense makes no sense. and if she’s born in 2005 how is she an iPad kid??? TS4 should’ve come out way sooner, and it should’ve been about a different kid.

(and I KNOW lots of movies and shows have a floating timeline where the kids never age. Charlie Brown, Phineas and Ferb, The Simpsons. but for those shows the setting changing with time while the characters don’t is part of the charm. The Toy Story franchise could’ve been that way but Toy Story 3 fundamentally changed that.)

(And look let’s say the movie takes place in 2012 and Bonnie has a rudimentary IPad 4 or something. why are we just seeing the movie now in 2026?? the timelines don’t match up it doesn’t make sense no matter what.)

I feel an emotional connection to the Bonnie of TS3 because she belongs in that time period, in the early 2010s when cellphone technology was just starting to pick up, when I was still a kid. And I think of TS3 and my brain screams 2010S!! MIDDLE SCHOOL!!!!!

whereas when I think of TS4 I’m like “has it actually been five years? it feels like it came out like two years ago” bc there’s no passage of time within that film to anchor it to the year 2019. That film came out the year before covid and it STILL feels like it came out like two years ago. that is telling to me.

Seeing Bonnie still be a kid 14 (and what will be 16) years after her debut feels inauthentic to the precedent set by Andy and TS3. I’m sure the movie will be good bc Toy Story movies are always good. But they’ve lost that sense of realism, of moving time, of leaving something behind and NOT being able to pick back up right where you left off. That kept the TS movies grounded in bittersweet reality, that’s kinda the whole point. :/

closing in on the end of Yakuza LAD; maybe it’s a product of how I’ve played it (on the deck while watching tv with my partner) but the pacing in the back half has felt a little weird wrt character writing. I really love Joon-Gi Han and Zhao (especially Zhao, I love a punky man with painted nails) but I wish they got as much development as the main cast.

I imagine it’s a part of them replicating dragon quest/classic JRPG structure though, having the villain(s) join the party in the back third? Still 🤷‍♀️

I wanna say I have mixed feelings, esp with some of the gender stuff, but honestly it’s a game I’ll probably finish with 70~ hours in, which speaks for itself 🤷‍♀️

Next up is probably another JRPG-soul hackers 2 or dq11 on deck, or p5r with the female mc mod on my pc. Or I’ll get distracted by smth else after 80 straight hours of turn based combat lol

Hi, Vee! Did you see the trailer for the Shadow The Hedgehog Dark Beginnings 3 episode animation? 👀

I DID LOL i was just about to make a post about it actually like the poster alone had me shocked when it was revealed like

EMERL???????? IN THE YEAR 2024???????

LOOK ITS TEAM DARK!!!!!!!!!

THE ROCKET FROM SA2????? THATS GERALD POSED AS HE WAS IN HIS FINAL MESSAGE DAMNING HUMANITY??????????

MARIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

and then the trailer itself lmao i was in shambles in the middle of the king records panel pls watch some peak y’all lmao

besides the heart wrenching moment with maria, something i particularly liked about the trailer was the way shadow and emerl were being framed as enemies of a similar ilk like

shadow with his red energy??? kinda unnatural glowing quills???? emerl with a very familiar rich blue glow to his robotic eyes???? emerl’s way of fighting mirroring shadow’s in those last few frames????

like it’s riffing a bit off of shadow and sonic’s rivalry while highlighting their manufactured origins, the lab with all the energy (chaos energy maybe??), AND I LOVE TO SEE IT LOL
