In terms of what is likely given Nintendo's track record w/ Splatoon:

❌️ Great Turf War Prequel, old man yaoi, squids in imperial Japan, actually elaborating on the Octarians more

✅️ 80s fashion revival, or perhaps something a lil more Y2k, squid kids gentrifying historic cities after Grand Fest like w/ Splatsville after Chaos v Order, everything being mostly the same as the previous games just w/ more retro clothes and music

(and im still down for it honestly but like, temper your expectations, be realistic)

#i think callie v marie affecting hero mode might have been a one off guys #chaos winning didnt cause anarchy to reign. it just made anarchy a fashion trend #its probably just gonna affect aesthetics music and fashion and not much else #splatoon 3 #splatoon #splatfest #grand fest #grand festival #also weird crack theory:#most of the salmon run gear for 3 was movie references #we have 80s stylings. modern work gear. and futuristic star wars and tron stuff.#past present and future #it might be dumb but that is at least part of why i think it might be a more recent past aesthetic rather than wartime japan #also octo expansion was full on 80s so

Sigh…

#jujutsu kaisen #anime fans will never not be weird about japan lmfao #like a lot of the stuff these ppl be going on about aren’t specific to Japan at all #it’s usually just basic morals and understandings you’d hope that most ppl would have like #rambling #‘did you know that the Japanese don’t feed dogs chocolate because it makes them sick :0?!’ ass shit 😭#also gege did cool he wrote one of the best characters of all time he kind of came up 😭 im not even being biased despite being a Gojo girl #gege did his thing but did he know what he was going to unless upon the world bro #gojo IS the hydrogen bomb bro

every day i remember the Japanese tlt covers and put my head in my hands (nuance in tags)

#its not even that they lightened their skin #(though that was unnecessary. really cool concise visual of the colorism in japan very nice)#they dont even hav their face paint in that version.#like especially for harrow that just feels kind of necessary. to what the books are going for.#they are The Ninth theyre creepy and weird you made them cunty!!!!!!!#like. did any other translation go out of its way to redraw the cover art for marketing #its so fascinating to me #like god forbid the audience actually knows what theyre getting into #inb4 if you like the japan covers thats cool. i dont. make your own post #qnd i have my issues with tommys covers too a lil bit they do tend to also skew to the left #of where the book is re htn and gtn #i like nonas the best but the other two always look like theyre Serving its just really funny #stop sashaying were trying to kill god here

Karasu and control

I've been thinking about this for a while, and this part of Hiori's novel (previous reblog) just brought it back to my attention.

Karasu really likes to control things. I'm not saying he's a control freak, of course, but he certainly likes to feel a safe base beneath his feet. You can see this in his play style (when he gathers all the available information and acts only after that; his choice of France) and his fear of water (if I remember correctly, the thing that scares him the most in it is the unknown). AND also from the whole Marisa (his childhood crush) story (assuming it's true lol) - he's not the type to rush into anything: neither in relationships nor hobbies. I don't think he would have chosen to join Blue Lock if he wasn't really sure in his abilities. He's really mature about things like that.

I was thinking in the context of him probably going to university (data analysis please!) in addition to his sports career, since he seems like a really rational guy when it comes to serious stuff? He gives Hiori some great advice about not wasting his time on something he doesn't like, Ego mentions that his greatest skill is his analytical ability - he never acts because-he-just-feels-it, he was the one who argued with the referee in the U-20 game about Rin's injury (so responsible!), and generally acts very logically (except for the whole Hiori and his legs theme lol). I don't think he would be able to fully relate on the sport, he certainly knows about the statistics of failures and broken careers.

He loves football, of course, but he is really right about "people who only play football can't become great players". But that's more because for Karasu, it's unrealistic to be stable (which is sometimes a deciding point in the game) when your whole life depends on it. When everything relies on you winning. Karasu really has a glimpse of Snuffy's philosophy in that, and it's great to see that in the character: Failing at one thing doesn't say anything about you. And you should always be more than one thing to have the right mental balance.

That's what makes him so strong - not that he'll never fail. Of course one day he will.

But rather the knowledge that he has done everything to be stable in case of failure; that any possible failure will not ruin his life.

Because he has made sure that his back is covered.

#was thinking about it a lot for one of my (unwritten) tabiori fics #because I don't believe that Hiori would abandon football (through I'd REALLY would like to see that)#more like he'd be unsure in what to choose till the end of the NEL #and if they'd have been in relationships this uncertainty will really get under Karasu's skin #like would Hiori like to pursue his career or try something new #stay in Japan or leave everything behind and move away #he'd never turn it against Hiori of course but this for sure would have bothered him #idk I just love the way Karasu is so smart talented and overall amazing #but the moment he sees Hiori he becomes just an average weird teen totally into their crush #you know type of men who're like cool-cool and the second their spouse enters room they're dorks staring with the stars in eyes at them #that's Karasu #karasu tabito #blue lock analysis #bllk analysis #blue lock #bllk #tabiori

I'm only on like chapter 4 but I really like the way Migi to Dali is handling the idea of irrational childhood fears when experienced by two twelve-year-olds with seemingly very little interaction with normal human society. like why WOULD the twins know what wigs are and why people have them? they don't need them to survive! they're completely superfluous! I don't think they've had much space for superfluous things. they're used to everything being a life-or-death matter with only each other and their wits to save them. thinking the parents are going to steal their hair and then make their escape on what looks to be a biplane is a very twelve-year-old thought process, but it makes sense that they would immediately assume they're in danger.

#migi to dali #migi and dali #also im really liking this weird eerie american suburbs vibe it has despite it being set in japan #adds to the surrealism element of it. its like reality but it isnt #also the mystery. like is this an alternate timeline where japan is more westernized? is it just these people? will this be explained?#who knows! certainly not me!
