#then funny i'd actually find that pretty funny

[tokyo-daaaamn-ji-gang]

How old is manila mikey and Kanto Mikey?? what wouldve manila mikey done if naoto hadn't shot him?

Mikey is 27 in the future's and 18 in the kmg arc. But if Naoto hadn't of shot him then I'd imagine he would've tackled him instead to get him off of Takemichi. This probably leads to Naoto and Mikey fighting about on the floor a bit until Takemichi yells at them to stop. Then they hit a stalemate. In a good/ more positive ending i like to imagine Naoto and Takemichi convince Mikey to come back while explaining the time leaps and how Takemichi can fix it all to him. This results in Mikey staying with Naoto while Takemichi leaps. All while the two of them try to avoid Izana and Kisaki, as well Naoto's bosses finding out about this (i actually think they'd be a pretty funny duo).

But what actually happens is probably something like Mikey throwing Naoto's gun to Takemichi while holding his own gun to Naoto's head. And basically telling Takemichi to shoot him or he'll kill Naoto. Making Takemichi choose between them which would definitely be even more traumatic for him. Takemichi after a lot of crying does shoot Mikey though because he thinks Naoto's about to die and Naoto is his trigger, if Naoto dies then he loses everything. It then ends the same way, with Takemichi craddling Mikey as he dies while promising to save him.

I heard that the 90s version of sailor moon made the villains more sympathetic do you think it was a benefit and if so which villain would you say benefits for being more sympathetic

The minibosses definitely benefit from this the most, the first one that jumped to mind was the Ayakashi sisters. They exist to kidnap the girls and be killed off in the manga, but in the 90's anime they have their own arc where the girls help them find redemption and fix their bond as sisters. It really both highlighted how compassionate the Senshi are and some nice solidarity between women. Lead Crow and Aluminum Seiren are my absolute favorite examples of minbosses who are way more sympathetic and don't exist just to kill some Senshi and then be killed. In the anime, they're hilarous, definitely in love with each other, and parallel Usagi and Rei's relationship really strongly. I'm actually still pretty pissed they gave Lead Crow the only death where she couldn't concievably be revived when Galaxia gave back the Star Seeds. In my mind she's okay though. somehow. Iron Mouse was also fantastic, not like, MUCH more sympathetic than her manga counterpart, though you definitely feel her fear of Galaxia a lot more, but soooo funny.

(And of course, there's Kunzite and Zoisite, icons. I guess you could argue the manga was equally-possibly-more sympathetic to them though, since it actually let them be unbrainwashed and redeemed, but the anime def gave them infinitely more characterization and made the relationship very tragic)

I'd say largely being sympathetic did work for the villains, yeah. It meant they were fleshed out a lot more. There were some that didn't work for me, giving Dimande a tragically redemptive death after repeated attempts at sexually assaulting a teenager was like. what. good. die. i don't feel bad. And Nephrite's whole plot was...eh.

I also kind of like the idea of Tomoe just being a horrible father who stopped caring after the death of his wife like in the manga, rather than possessed. His "villain" self isn't actually given much sympathy in the 90s anime, as they just decide the actual quirky villain was the thing possessing him and they were definitely not sympathetic to that. But Tomoe being a bad dad makes Hotaru being raised by the outers meaningful, rather than like, kidnapping.

For the "main" villains, they tend to be equivalently sympathetic in the manga, which is to say, not very much- except for Nehelenia, deffo more sympathetic in the anime thanks to the little season five arc and I liked it quite a bit. Galaxia is arguably more sympathetic in the 90's anime, but the manga showed her a decent amount of sympathy and didn't handwave her actions as "oh bad chaos magic made her do it".

I think Naoko likely had a set quota of villains she needed to create for the anime, or just an order to create "a lot", in twelve chapters, which is why many of them just show up to die. The anime has a lot more time to explore them, and sometimes clearly picks favorites. So it isn't really her fault, but largely I think the anime's version of the villains, and the focus on redemption, was better.

sims 4 released another overpriced kit consisting of content you can get better of for free, and it's called Modern Luxe. So it's meant to be like fancy and luxury.

dead by daylight-- the game where you can play as steve harrington from stranger things, and can get sent to partake in a match of murder hide and seek at midwich elementary from silent hill, where you can then use a lute to perform bardic inspiration from dungeons and dragons to give a bonus to your teammates, except for the one who is being chased by nemesis from resident evil 3.

while I have not really worked on my costume hooves at all since last year, I HAVE been getting pretty good at walking and standing still in the shoes since recently putting them in my room where I could easily put them on and wander around on a whim

the bad news is they've now broken in enough that my heels wanna slip out of them, and apparently the remedy to that is 'buy a size down'

Damn, I was already very unsure about continuing to use Twitter now, but God Emperor Elon's tweets immediately convinced me to nope out. I am generally opposed to deleting my history, so I haven't deleted my accounts, but y i k e s.

AH I REMEMBERED WHAT I WAS GONNA SAY EARLIER but it's kind of stupid, lmao.

So my partner is getting into brewing beer and I got them a Tilt, which is a Bluetooth hydrometer. It measures specific gravity and temperature, which are things you want to know so that you don't kill your yeast or whatever. Except the sensor's Bluetooth range is super short, and it basically runs via a phone app, and the temperature we're logging currently is the crawlspace, accessible via the staircase closet. So they were like, wait, what do we do about this, because I can't leave my phone in the closet, that's my alarm clock.

In a kind of ridiculous turn of life imitating art, I was like, hold up, I got just the thing right at my desk. Bam. Old phone. We just needed to scrounge up a charger because the battery is so dead that after charging just enough to power on it claimed it was at 53% (to be fair to it, there is a very real chance that it's correct, and it just holds no charge at this point so the capacity is just THAT low) and now it lives in the closet logging sensor data.

And I was like, you know...didn't I just solve a major story detail with a much larger version of this...yeah, no, this is all vaguely familiar somehow, power supply issues and all. Kind of cool that the concept works though. Kind of weird that it came up at all?

We are not gonna talk about the fact that I still have at least two more ancient-ass phones in a drawer where that came from because look, man, sometimes you just need a camera/mic/mini computer with Bluetooth and wifi that fits in a pocket, and people just get rid of these things, but not me. I actually could build a shitty security system out of them if I was reaaaally inclined. I mean. I'm not. But it's technically possible.

For real though, If I pick up any stupid maker projects I still high-key am thinking about slapping Bluetooth into a necomimi headset and running that through an Arduino and learning to code just enough to let me skip songs/change the volume on Spotify with my brain, because it's entirely doable, and I mean yeah I could do that on my phone remotely too, but that's not funny, now, is it. I'm just not sure it's $350+ of parts funny. Kind of a big investment just to prove the point that haha look I am the extremely ADHD type of lazy where I would rather solve a problem via the most convoluted and complicated Rube-Goldberg type ass machine way possible rather than just perform a single simple action.

YEAH I'VE BEEN THIS SCATTERED ALL DAY AND I REALLY SHOULD GO TO BED SHOULDN'T I. I started playing Satisfactory. Mistakes were made. I'm going to dream about conveyor belts again and I did it to myself...

Amount of sleep: Around 8 hours, but usually between 3-11 a.m.

Lucky number: 73

Dream job: Full-time student. I want to just keep studying new subjects forever. If higher education didn't cost money I probably wouldn't have left.

Movies/books that summarize you: Hellboy (2004), The Wicker Man (1973), Dolls (1987), Gothic (1986), Howl's Moving Castle (book)

Favorite song: as of now it's either, Syke! Life Is Awesome! by Bomb The Music Industry! or Banks by Lincoln. Ask again tomorrow for a new answer!

Aesthetic: Kinda like if Peter Capaldi's character in The Lair of the White Worm was dressed by Klaus Hargreeves

Favorite authors: I've been avoiding long series, so usually when I read a book, that's the only one by that author. The only authors whose bodies of work I've explored very thoroughly are Stephen King and R.L. Stein (and Dean Koontz, but just because I've read a lot of his stuff doesn't mean I like it lmao). I'll list C.K. Walker here too, why not, idk how much they've actually published, but their short stories are solid

Favorite animal noise: Crow and raven calls, but especially when they mimic other sounds like human speech or fire alarms. Gremlins, the lot of them.

gonna tag @aceofvase @isabellthebitchyghost @spooksohana @theonyxranger and @naturallyoccurringminotaur <3 <3 <3
