Can Sephiroth Leave Cloud Alone For One Second, He Is On Vacation.

I remember when I first saw this scene. My thought process was: dang he took his clothes off to only realize that he didn’t like what he saw and then told him to put his clothes back on :/

What ACTUALLY happened in that scene with Cid and Clive....

After rewatching episode 9, can someone please write a fanfic about how Papa Kazuki and Rej are going to deal with Miri getting a boyfriend?

Even better give me a second season of Buddy Daddies and have it be the version of Bunny Drop we deserved.

I miss brocon Clive

He’s just not as dotting as I thought he would be in his adult years

Clive head pats

Unpopular South Park Opinions

Recently binged South Park again after dropping off some time during the airing of season 19. 

I got back into South Park after years of kind of ignoring it after one of the airing of Naughty Ninjas because 14 year old me thought it was so unfunny and too political. However, I played fractured but whole this summer and I really wanted to rewatch the show again. 

Here are my thoughts and possible unpopular opinions:

Butter’s dad is honestly a character I want to see more of. His introduction episode had some good potential but it seems that the writers forgot about it. I think Butter’s dad being closeted has some really good material if they just focused on him more. When I decided to binge South Park again, the one episode I always remembered was Butter’s very own episode. It’s such a classic. 

Some of the most underrated episodes are Follow that egg, South Park is Gay and Cartman Sucks. Basically all the gay-themed episodes they do are fantastic. 

If you asked pre-season 19 me what I thought about South Park ships, I would have no idea what you were talking again. Shipping culture was always something I associated with anime and nothing else. When they send out that call for Tweek x Craig Yaoi on Facebook years ago, I was dumbfounded but also laughed so hard my sides hurt. I unironically loved the concept of the upcoming episode. I was thinking that South Park was gonna comment on anime and BL, but didn’t realize that Tweek x Craig was a real ship. Not just something they named randomly as a homage to Tweek vs Craig. I remember watching the episode when it first aired on TV but I couldn’t remember any of it afterwards. If anything, I completed forgot that Tweek and Craig were dating because when I played TFBW, I was once again dumbfounded by Craig’s dad side quest and of course, all of the mostly NSFW fanart.

On the topic of ships, as much as I find Kyle x Cartman really dumb, I welcome the idea that Cartman isn’t straight. Like at first, I brushed that theory off but thought about it more and of course, played TFBW (HAVE YOU SEEN HIS LITTLE DOODLES IN HIS JOURNAL??!! MY DUDE IS NOT STRAIGHT) I’ve come to accept the idea of it. I feel like the writers secretly agree but won’t commit because having Cartman be ambiguously gay/bi provides more writing material. One episode he can totally be straight and the next he isn’t. 

Something from my notes while I was watching Shippuden

It’s weird that Naruto married a woman who is quiet, introverted and has special eye powers. During my time watching this god forsaken show, I noted down that Naruto seems to attract introverted shy downer boys like Gaara and Sasuke. I guess there is something about that type of personality he likes in dudes. I am still very doubtful that he would like that personality in a woman because he criticized his future wife who had the same personality but in the end, he seemingly married her. It’s like he married a female-ish Sasuke. Like someone who superficially sounds like him on paper.

For Sasuke, he doesn’t seem to like a lot of people outside of his family. He tolerated Naruto’s extroverted, loud and confident behaviour. He was annoyed by his obsession with chasing after him though. I don’t blame him he gets it from both sides and it’s not like he has a mentor to ask for advice on how to deal with it. Anyway, I’ve seen him ignore Sakura who has a similar personality to Naruto at times. She’s tomboyish and has the former traits. He low-key criticized her for being obsessed with him. He also doesn’t seem to visually like pushy women, but it might be because every woman so far has been pushy in their advances and flirty towards him. There is no shame for whoever has a crush on him. But he doesn’t seem to mind it as much when Naruto does it. I mean he does mind it but he didn’t say it’s disgusting or anything. It’s again weird that he married Sakura because I always felt like he didn’t like that kind of woman but he’s okay with it when it’s a guy to a more tolerable extent.

Those two really did marry the female version of their “type”. But again, the impression I got so far was that they didn’t like that personality if it was the opposite sex for whatever reason.

I know I just finished the show but I feel like LITERALLY everyone married the wrong person. Everyone should swapped partners. More people should be single, some people shouldn’t be dead while others I’m shocked they survived (looking at you KIBA AND MIGHT GUY) and others who aren’t married yet for some reason.

Sakura and Naruto, I love you both dearly but you both married the wrong people in my eyes. But this also applies to everyone else so don’t come for me (this wasn’t in my notes but I have to put this in here - I’m just copying pasting my immediate thoughts I wrote in my notes lol)

It’s just weird. I followed a strict anime filler guide and it makes me feel like I missed something.

Food for thought

Oh also Sasuke totally gives off I have commitment issues, bachelor vibes and just lone wolf identity. Kinda like Jiraya but not a pervert or a writer. More like he just wants to be alone even if it meant being away from society. To me, he will always prioritize himself above everyone else because he has way too much baggage. He just comes across as someone who wants to be in solitude. It’s unfortunate because he had such a bright future when he was a kid but in canon, he seems to be married while living his bachelor lifestyle from the ending.

Controversial? takes on anime dubs. I’m fluent in both English and Mandarin. There is a high chance comedies work better in a language I understand.

Code Geass Dub > Sub (watched the show dubbed first and didn’t care about it, rewatched it shortly after dubbed and it impacted me more)

Jujutsu Kaizen Dub > Sub (I don’t know why but the JJK sub is so ordinary to me, jokes don’t translate well/land well as much as the dub. Also really love dub Yuji)

Buddy Daddies Dub > Sub (dub Kazuki is a standout)

Seraph of the End Dub > Sub (only watched two episodes but the sub bothered me because the voices of the two main characters didn’t match so I switched over to dub and it was much better)

Sk8 Dub < Sub (I just don’t like dubbed Reki 😕）

Attack on Titan Dub < Sub (I feel like the sub is better at emotional moments that involve screaming)

Good shit and in-character

I’ll wait by the stairs for you, wrapped up in smoke; laughing alone… 

Chainsaw man fucking sucks but the first chapter was so good. Denji was a decent character but the moment his ambitions (touching girls bodies) was revealed, it ruined his character. Him explicitly viewing the women around him as sex objects is awful. He doesn’t even really care if he dislikes them, he just wants to touch their breasts. The male author can’t help himself and justifies it by having the female characters act in a way that women would not act like and feed into his perversions. Not to mention, the story is MID. It wasn’t even worth the read for the story.

NARUTO STANS I NEED YOUR HELP

I finished watching Naruto + Shippuden a few weeks ago and I’m so sad I put the show off for DECADES. I never watched it growing up despite watching a lot of anime and all my friends talking about it.

The only thing I knew about Naruto was that it was about ninjas and there was some bad guy with long hair.

Now that I’m into the fandom, I really wish I was in the loop while the show aired. Naruto seems to be forgotten by the general public and the fandom spaces seem really small. I vaguely heard all of the online discussion back in the day was on facebook or Naruto forums which are hard to access now.

I NEED THE KNOW THE TEA, EVERYONES THOUGHTS OF ANYTHING WHILE THE SHOW AIRED. Like what were the biggest theories, discussions, discourse, what did people think about the story, plot, characters, dub vs sub, anything. What were the community memes back in the day? What were peoples reactions to the arcs or major or minor plot lines.

Like what did people think about Sasuke ever changing outfits, or the five Kage summit arc, or the MEMES BACK IN THE DAY?!?!

I truly missed out and now no one really discusses this show outside of nostalgia because of Boruto. Oh also what did people feel about Boruto? And also the Naruto movies because there are like a dozen of them and the show aired for 15 years. What did people feel about the filler and flashbacks? How was the fandom like during anime cons or during the school yard/water cooler breaks with your workers if you were working when it aired?

Literally opening this discussion for word vomit and any and all thoughts.

IM JUST SO SAD AND HAPPY I WATCHED NARUTO AFTER IGNORING IT FOR SO LONG 😭

Shippūden Naruto is literally holding the plot hostage because all he wants is to hang out with Sasuke on the weekends. A guy who wouldn’t even hang out with him outside of missions.

BECAUSE LITERALLY WHAT DOES BRINGING SASUKE BACK TO THE LEAF VILLAGE ACCOMPLISH?

He’s not even like “Sasuke come back we have to finish the Chunin exams properly or else I can’t become Hokage”. He just misses his man 🧍‍♂️
