I’ll never understand why anthropomorphic animal cartoons like Robin Hood and Zootopia will go to the trouble of creating character designs that are meant to be understood as “attractive” or even “sexy” to the human audience but explicitly avoid showing interspecies romances between anthropomorphic animals. Why is THAT weird but, like, trying to make rabbits recognizably sexy-coded to humans isn’t?
Thank you, Jinbe, for being an absolute cutie.

Why would anyone want to consume it!?
I love Stan's relationship with the kids so much.
GF emphasizes a lot of very real trauma in Stan's past. Everything from child abuse, homelessness, drug abuse, and survival sex work. And the way that meshes with Mabel being this truly genuine depiction of a weird little girl creates something that is very unique to the series.
It's really touching how Mabel just being Mabel heals Stan's inner child and the way he naturally clicks with her. The weird and creative little boy he used to be, before his father's abuse and toxic masculinity beat that joy and optimism out of him.
It's just damn good. It's a really beautiful depiction of an intergenerational relationship. And I haven’t really seen anything else quite like it. Because there’s also Dipper.
There’s this wall between Stan and Dipper that goes beyond his similarities with Ford and its gender.
Dipper is a boy and Stan clearly doesn’t really know how to handle that. He was taught that boys are raised in a very specific way. And like we see how Stan really struggles with his past, the way he talks about the boxing lessons in particular.
Masculinity is so deeply entwined with Stan's pain and it’s something he can’t easily unravel. How is he supposed to be able to criticize his father for 'toughing him up' when he feels like punching things is one of the only things he’s good at? It's fucking sad.
Present Mic says he loves you <3
Just begun The Magnus Archives Season 2 and I've got something to say:
JONATHAN, WHY THE FUCK DO YOU HAVE TO BE SO MEAN TO POOR MARTIN?! HE'S JUST WORRIED ABOUT YOU, YOU PARANOID ADORABLE LITTLE ARCHIVIST.
Is it so difficult to believe that somebody cares about you, Jonathan? Is it? For the love of whatever type of eldritch being is listening to my rambling right now, I CARE ABOUT YOU AND I'VE LISTENED TO YOU TALKING FOR JUST ONE SEASON-
reasons why i wish corazon was still around:
1. so law can scream whenever he wants
2. PIGGYBACK RIDES
It starts like this...and then you grow attached to the fucker.
I seriously need therapy cause low key he is kinda attractive
In italian the translation was done well, but they changed the original concept of the dialogue: While Makino tries to get them to say "Hello, what's your name?" Ace keeps on saying "I am Ace! Who are you?", which in Italy and probably everywhere else in the world is kind of unpolite, but not too much. When Makino tells him that that's wrong and not a polite manner of speaking, Luffy corrects him with " You have to say "Who THE HELL are you?" which in Italian is even LESS OKAY. The funny thing is that Ace does not use an even worse correction of the phrase, but he just rolls with Luffy's correction, repeating it to Makino; making this seven year old little boy the bringer of chaos in the conversation. Which, to me, is adorable.
I’m kinda curious how they translate this joke in English, actually, because the comedy in Japanese comes from the fact that Ace and Luffy just straight up SUCK at choosing appropriate ‘you’ pronouns. Makino is TRYING to get them to say ‘hello, what’s your name?’ but neither of them can think of an actual polite way to say ‘you.’
Ace starts with teme, which is so hostile it’s essentially a swear word, and Luffy tries to correct him to omae, which is less rude but still really not polite (and also what Luffy uses to address literally everyone in the present), and then Ace tries onore, which is less commonly used than teme but ALSO super angry/derogatory.
