completely forgot to post this finished rin

some more favorite panels from Trigun:

Vash, Merryl, and Milly are all equally cunty as they are silly, especially Vash (like jesus fuck y'all seeing this shit, like we don't talk enough how fucking amazing of a gun slinger he is). He even somehow has time to apply eyeliner as he is running away from the cops, as philosopher RuPaul once said: "YOU BETTER WORK!"

Hello internet! Happy pride month.

Today’s—and only today’s (unless i find another one—) queer book recommendation is

“Is Love The Answer?” By Uta Isaki

+ the books content warning, though its only two scenes that are very vague and easily skippable (so if you are neutral to slightly uncomfortable with this topic I would still recommend it, but im also putting this here just in case that makes it a no [which is 100% valid and exceptable])

——————————

Words CANNOT describe just how good this book is

Whether you’re on the aroace spectrum and can relate or if you’re not and just willing to learn or want to read more queer books;

this manga is so good at showing the different ways you can be on the spectrum, how labels aren’t black and white, and how your identity is uniquely yours and how you choose to describe yourself is completely up to you.

I love love love love it so much and who knows, maybe yall will learn something :D

I'm almost caught up with TCF 😔. Thank goodness they post like twice a week. Honestly it's a little amazing that, as of today, there's 960 chapters on EAP.

So bnha manga is over. BNHA was huge part of me over the years. So many read fanfics, so many AUs created. It greatly influenced my artstyle as Izuku was my comfort character to draw for so long. But interests pass and so was my obsession with bnha. Still, my bnha x blue beetle crossover was the most completed AU i ever had. Too bad i have never gotten around doing anything more for it. But i started making my first animatic. never finished it, as you can see (partly bc of my poor time and effort management. also i had no idea what i was doing and learning all the programs on the go).

I dont want to loose it tho, so im sharing what i made then as a 21 sec homage to bnha. thanks!

[The Final sugi dying kitten betrayal -> utsuro-gin fight -> sakura boat imagination -> completely tonally consistent with these ginpachi-sensei closer]

now listen. u know i would rather die than post five nearly-uninterrupted minutes of a fight scene. so take that into consideration.

look at this small funny comedic moment from chapter 4 (!!!!) where hinata works himself so hard that he makes himself sick. definitely still humorous and fun on a second read through and totally doesnt evoke any strong emotions in me about self care or knowing your limits, nope this is fine. i'm fine.

(i cut out some of the panels in between to make this moment more obvious for the purposes of showcasing my point for this post, but in those panels kageyama's inner monologue about hinata's greatest weapon being his drive to keep going no matter how tired he is is so wildly good, especially contrasted with how that exact weapon is immediately what makes hinata sick here)

Went skimming thru late trimax For Reasons, got caught up reading the Legato fight, realized things about the fight that I never had before & went WOW, I kind of want to write an analysis post right now!

Felt the same kind of insanity grip me, however momentarily, that fueled all my analysis posts however many months ago. Too tired to actually word things coherently right now, but...

I May or may not have a full(ish?) analysis of the Legato & Vash fight a la style of This post analyzing the Trigun: Multiple Bullets fight that got unexpectedly kind of popular. People seemed to really appreciate that one, & I even had some ppl saying it could be cool if I did that for others?

So. Legato fight. Maybe. Feel free to remind me later if u see no mention of it again for over a week lol

If I end up hyperfixating over Maritmashita Iruma-kun i will kill something

alright here's the current theory. Roger was genuinely just a dude. Just some guy. He was definitely strong in his own right and had a good ass crew and ship, but what everyone who's known him keeps on saying whenever he's brought up is true - everyone keeps calling him a monster but he really was nothing special, probably very strong but no more than anyone out of the rocks pirates, and definitely no more ruthless. He had honest to god infants on his crew, he was just some guy going on an adventure.

but during Robin's backstory the ohara archeologists say this: the poneglyphs were written to recount the hidden history, and the hidden history is about a war between the world government and an island that is no more. So why would have four of those been used to give the coordinates for laugh tale? because laugh tale is the island the world government was at war with. And Roger found Oden, and read the poneglyphs, and found laugh tale, and that's why the world government called him king of the pirates and made a show of hunting him down and then killing him where everyone could see, because he'd found out the truth they'd been keeping hidden for eight hundred years

so the theory is that his speech right before he died was his last fuck you to the government. He told the whole world that there was a treasure (and there probably is), and that it was on laugh tale, and they could and SHOULD look for it - so now the government killed one dude who found out the truth, but in exchange for that, if before there were only the archaeologists and the particularly curious to worry about, now there's the whole of the ruthless and lawless and fearless and greedy side of the world's population looking for that very same thing they've been doing their best to hide. And that was a very funny thing to do on Roger's part, imho. Like, after that I'd call him king too tbf

Finished Veniss Underground!

I liked this one better than I expected. The first 30ish pages are rough, because I absolutely hated Nicholas (tbf you're supposed to dislike him), but Nicola and Shadrach's perspectives are much more interesting. The setting is also fun: a glamorous futuristic city overtop of a thirty-level-deep absolutely hellish underground sector, full of mad scientists and evil doctors and civilians trapped in an ancient, torturous way of life because they don't know they've become obsolete.

I'm definitely going to have to reread this one when my brain doesn't feel like it's a microwaved potato (yaaaay end of year burnout!). All I can really think to say now is that Quin is an interesting villain--he does all this evil stuff (kidnapping Nicholas and Nicola, primarily) and is set up as this secretive mob boss kind of guy, but he and his followers never really try and stop Shadrach from saving Nicola, hunting down Nicholas, and eventually confronting Quin directly. Hell, he could kill both siblings and be done with them, but he keeps them alive. Almost all of Shadrach's opposition is purely environmental: the horror of having to return to the underground, the nightmare organ bank cathedral, the train you have to parachute off of to get to Quin's level, the bizarre underground sea. It's interesting.

Anyway, 4/5 better than I expected for an older Vandermeer, considering I really didn't like what I read of Ambergris.
