when i say that soul eater episodes 10 and 11, the episodes where tsubaki goes to fight her brother masamune who is on the verge of becoming a keshin, are the best episodes of any show ever to air on television you best fucking believe i mean that shit. nobody was doing it like her. from start to finish that episode had it ALL. black star tells tsubaki about how he comes from a family of assassins who had their souls taken by lord death who then took him in because even if his family were horrible people who would do anything for money, black star was a baby who had done nothing wrong. when tsubaki feels like she needs to tell him something about masamune in return for his openness, he tells her she doesn't have to say anything until she's ready. this is a character who up until this point we have believed to be nothing but a selfish ego maniac who is nosey as fuck and now we're seeing that, regardless of how he acts, he cares so much about his partner and puts her feelings above all that shit. and then we get to see tsubaki go and fight her brother and while black star can't do anything to help, he watches her and gives her encouragement even though she can't hear it, and during this entire ordeal he is getting beaten by villagers who saw his clans tattoo and assumed he was there to kill them. and he does nothing to stop them until they go to touch tsubaki and then he says if you touch her, i'll kill you. IF YOU TOUCH HER. I'LL KILL YOU. OUGH. and don't forget that while black star is waiting patiently for tsubaki, she is fighting for her life and thinking about how black star has made it clear to her that even if her name is tsubaki, she isn't a scentless camellia blossom who will die a tragic, plain death. he made it clear to her that she isn't boring and she isn't a nobody and that her thoughts and feelings matter and she doesn't have to be strong all the time. i'm just. oh my god. oh my god im insane. and THEN WHEN SHE GETS PULLED INTO THE SWORD AND BLACK STAR THINKS SHE'S DEAD. AND HIS FIRST INSTINCT IS TO DEMAND SHE COME BACK AND CONTINUE HER PERFORMANCE, TO DEMAND SHE GIVE THEM ALL AN ENCORE. and then when she DOES come back HE ASKS HOW SHE IS AND HE CAN TELL SHE'S LYING WHEN SHE SAYS SHE'S FINE SO HE TELLS HER TO COME GIVE HIM A HUG. AND SHE STARTS SOBBING AND APOLOGIZING BECAUSE HE'S THERE, COVERED IN BLOOD, BECAUSE HE WAITED AND WATCHED OVER HER WHILE SHE GAVE HER PERFORMANCE. FUCKKKKKKK LITERALLY NOTHING CAN EVER TOP THE EMOTIONS IN THESE TWO EPISODES.

Tusk is so frustrating as a movie bc like it has such a great concept but its really not living up to its potential. Mainly ofc half of the movie is just not about whats going on with him (which i mean, why not if it were interesting but its really not, the characters of his girlfriend and friend dont have anything going on and the dialogues are way too long for nothing), Then the way that we're being shown that he mentally became a walrus somehow bc of the traumas and all but we never really see the shift happens, i feel like it would take quite a lot of time to firstly become accustomed to it and then for your brain to actually start believing you're a walrus and thats such a shame because it would have been so interesting to see the transition in his mindset and the relationship between him and Howard. Talking about Howard im sorry, i dont enjoy his character too much, but thats just personnal taste. I also have a few problems with the walrus cotsume, i feel like the way its cut doesnt make too much sense especially when we know that Wallace has made a few of those + i wish they had altered it a bit when we see Wallace at the zoo bc the scars wouldnt be bloody anymore (i get its maybe bc of the budget but yknow)

Anyway i still enjoyed the movie but yeah

soul eaters

so. this was a while back but you know in that one comic. how Gundham. has the power to summon dead animals? can he- can he summon Chuck? For Mondo? As a treat?

i’ve been sitting on this idea for a while. let them have their pets, man, they’ve been through enough.

in blank period kakashi says he’s getting a belly after the war AAUUUHGAAA do you have any sketches or thoughts

genuinely love when the journey is over and people get softer as a sign of happiness, he truly deserves it. Finally eating right, finally drank water

if you like strawberry shortcake or care bears, please consider buying something from the original creator and designer, Muriel Fahrion’s website! she never got paid royalties for creating/designing strawberry shortcake and care bears to this day.

she went through incredibly tough times as an artist and went into debt after her husband died— until in 2019 she started being more public on social media about being the original creator of strawberry shortcake, care bears, and the get along gang. despite everything, she still loves strawberry shortcake and spreads nothing but kindness and positivity on her instagram (everyday she always posts a daily video of her dancing in her kitchen :) she’s so full of joy) she inspires me so much as an artist! it would mean a lot if you supported her and bought something cute from her website!

some 'tales from memory

Gaara is truly the Character of All Time

-Introduced as main antagonist in a tournament arc, the terrifying bloodthirsty ninja from a strange desert village who kills without remorse and has survived every mission without getting a scratch on him

-He's 12

-Character design 10/10 he has bright fucking brick red hair, literal raccoon eyes, a face tattoo that says "Love" and carries that weird ass gourd; between the fun elements and the interesting tie-ins to Tanuki Lore, I have never seen a more charming design in my life tbqh

-Immediately more emo and chuuni than Noted Emo Heartthrob Sasuke Uchiha by virtue of reciting weird poetry after killing a guy in cold blood

-We get his tragic backstory and by fucking GOD is it sad. I cry just thinking about it. Literally everything about it is just horrible and devastating.

-Talk No Jutsu at end of the tournament arc, Gaara realizes that he should, in fact, go to therapy and immediately decides to turn his life around

-The first thing he decides to do is apologize to his siblings <3

-Shows up a handful of arcs later with a cool new outfit and becomes friends with the kid he literally tried to murder and nearly permanently crippled in one of the best fights of the entire series

-Liam O Brian's English dub of Gaara is Stellar ya know what. The raspiness of the original appearance morphing into the Deepest Voice That Any Kid Has Ever Had Ever was a genuinely hilarious choice

-Has the only good filler arcs in the old show; he's such a good character that the entire show molds itself and rises to meet him

-Post timeskip he is Desert Ninja President at the ripe old age of 15 and is extremely good at it because he's the weirdest little nerd with no social skills (on account of his tragic backstory) and diligently applies himself to doing paperwork and going to meetings

-Has a fanclub in the village mostly of girls his own age that he never seems to talk to?? Or realize have crushes on him?? Oblivious king we love him.

-Dies in one of the most genuinely moving scenes. Comes back like 20 episodes of fighting later because where would we be without him honestly?

-Becomes Super General Ninja President of the Grand Army of whatever where he accomplishes such feats as forgiving his asshole father and emotionally healing from his childhood trauma, stopping a meteor, and nearly dying a second time.

-Collects cacti as a hobby

-Has the only good sequel series arc where it's revealed that in addition to continuing to serve as Desert Ninja President, he's decided to adopt a couple of orphan ninja kids so that he can break the cycle of parental neglect and stupidity that created his tragic backstory in the first place.

Do you have any headcanons for how m2 shows affection to one another?

Hmmm well Matt wants physical affection/attention for sure lol. Even if it's just having Mello leaning on him while they sit on the couch. He gets really moody when Mello doesn't, like, give him a goodnight kiss. Mello only wants physical affection when he's in a good mood lol. Like a dog vs a cat. A dog is always happy to see you and a cat may or may not invite you to pet them depending on the day. He does really like backrubs/massages though he KNOWS Matt thinks they're foreplay. Mello secretly (? Not so secretly?) likes praise/affirmation of whatever he's doing. Wants Matt to fawn over everything he says/does like it's the best thing in the world and be his permanent hype man. Literally if he farts Matt better be like "wow that smells amazing babe." 110% support no matter what. Mello will also pretend he's not listening when Matt talks about new videogames/silly things he wants, but likes to surprise him once and a while by silently leaving an unwrapped "present" by Matt's side of the bed. When he was in the mafia Mello looooooved being flashy and throwing around cash like it meant nothing (cuz it didn't, it wasn't his lol) and he still relives a little bit of that by splurging on stuff for Matt.
