Hello! I am also bored and would love to chat. (manga reader, but no spoilers ahead) I am very sad about the skipping of the personalized drinks. How do you feel about this, and if you think it was super important, what part of the episode would you trade off?

Someone send me asks about my thoughts of the new Dr.STONE episode or about any characters tbh! I'm bored and wanna chat with people

Scrolling through the Dcst tag and I completely forgot there are anime-only ppl who are reacting to the new episode as the brand new material

Guys you're in for a RIDE rn hope you enjoy it

Some other silly dr stone redesigns

I love nikki

I couldn't stand the sight of hyoga's thousand abs

(edit: i forgot i wanted to add a link to the first redesigns)

❤️❤️💯

Silly Dr Stone redesigns

Made them as a way to keep drawing without bullying my hand, i have more redesign ideas but i didnt make them yet

(edit: i made some more)

(used long haired yuzuriha as my base because i liked the pose more)

I tried to keep it dr stone-ish and have them fit Boichi's artstyle (even tho, i hate how he draws women wtf is that) I do tend to like how he does shoes in this manga

People can reuse these, i don't really care much

hopefully I'm gonna tag this well

SOBBING BC I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO THE PERSONALIZED COCKTAILS BUT THEY DIDN'T ANIMATE IT AND DIDN'T LET FRANCOIS SHINE AND NOW I'LL NEVER SEE THESE DRINKS IN COLOUR o(TᯅTo)

anyway here's a folder with all the pages of the skipped parts (includes several personalized cocktails by francois and the beer-making process) o(TヘTo)

everything in this life is temporary. except that fandom hyperfixation from when you were 14. that thang will be with you forever there's no escaping.

I just thought about that one face Ponyo makes when Sosuke says he loves her and ended up doing more doodles

OMG THIS IS AMAZING. Perfect. Immaculate. New canon.

No one:

Hargon in DQB2:

theres a shocking amount of years between 2019 and 2024

Just now realizing this is basically the plot of all my ocs. Maybe this says something about me. I guess we’ll never know.

Polycule but it’s just two people in a romantic relationship with each other and their third who’s pretty obviously aroace but also somehow so deeply intertwined in their lives that it’d just be wrong to not count them as involved. Is this anything.

I’m glad I haven’t accidentally spoiled anything- I don’t think I’ve said much past Treasure Island. Are you excited for the season in Jan? I’m very excited to see how they translate it, and what they cut/add.

I’m a little nervous bc I heard this is the final season they’re making, but there’s a lot more arcs ahead, so idk if they’re going to rush it or just cut it off or what.

Spoilers for all of Anime, as well as vague descriptions of later arcs

I def agree, Senkuu is the best leader shown in Dr. Stone and he does work well bc he’s science focused and most of civilization is also science focused. (Trying to avoid spoilers) Later in the story they encounter a group of people who directly oppose most of their values, a have to work with them. About here is when I would exchange Senkuu’s leadership with the 5 Generals, as things become more complicated.

It would be very funny to have an episode where Senkuu has to drop all the science and craft a legal system lmao.

I agree that Hyoga fighting Moz instead of Senkuu is evidence Hyoga supports women(idk that sentence is so funny. Hyoga supports women’s rights and women’s wrongs). To delve into more character stuff, I think this moment could also be tied to Hyoga’s interest in “incredible people.” He wanted to keep most people in stone and only revive petrified people who possess extraordinary skills, to create like a super powerful human race. In this situation, it’s either help Senkuu, who he says himself is on his level, or Moz, a strong enough guy but lacking awareness and also hates women. Hyoga chooses to help Senkuu as 1. He has that interest in Senkuu, and 2. Disagrees with Moz, thinking he is not an “incredible person.”

I totally agree with you, I just wanted to delve into his character, which I rarely get to do bc I don’t like him lol.

It’s totally cool that you’re an anime only watcher! I myself have read all the manga because I hyperfixated and needed to know what happened next IMMEDIATELY lmao. I actually prefer watching the anime, as having the characters audibly read their lines lets me focus more on the art and story beats, which is harder while reading. I’ll do my best to avoid manga spoilers!

For my next question… Who is your favorite character and why? Doesn’t have to be a complex reason, it could just be a feeling.

*eats a chip and hands both back to you*

Your honor they're homosexuals

This had to be drawn

Omg I’m so sorry for leaving you hanging ;-; I can only offer the excuse of crippling school projects, but I’m back!

Dr. Stone Spoilers for most of the story

Okay so your point about him being a good leader actually opened up a can of worms in my brain. This is def kind of off topic? But I think it’s interesting so I want to write it down for my own sanity.

For a while know I’ve been coining Senkuu as a bad leader, or at least not ideal for personal writing purposes, but your comment made me rethink it. Looking at things with a fresh start, I realized Senkuu is a good leader, but not in the way I was originally imagining. (Doing my best to keep it as canon as possible) Senkuu 1. Cares deeply about people, not just his own 2. Is very strategic and thinks of the future 3. Does not want power. These 3 aspects make him a good leader, especially in the setting of Dr. Stone.

To use an analogy, He would be a very good science club leader, which is kind of what he is. He is dedicated to the craft, and can manage a small group of people with similar goals, and rather than excluding others, he encourages and fights for them to join his club of nerds.

However!

For the first part of Dr. Stone, that works fine. It’s just the Kingdom of Science and the Empire of Might. It’s like 140 people, who although need some coaxing, can work together. But once America hits and they have Zenos people how have very different ideas, and all sorts of other civilizations across the globe… people are going to have conflicting ideas. There’s always going to be Tsukasas, misguided people, and Hyogas and Homuras, people who don’t mean well and try to shape the world in their making. This is where I believe Senkuu is no longer the best choice, as I don’t think he could handle managing and keeping peace between all of these people, in addition to perusing and steam heading science projects. Obviously there’s people to help him do these things, but it’s a lot.

Many people instead make Ryusui the main leader, which is not a bad decision. He’s used to leadership and thrives in positions of power, and cares about the people around him, even if they don’t like him(most of this comes from his confidence/arrogance, but still). He is great at planning and managing people, and is decent at working with people who have different views than him. However he doesn’t really understand the differences between what people say/think they want, and what they need, and he could make bad decisions based on that misconception. In addition, Ryusui is pretty disconnected from the people around him as he had a very different upbringing, and can’t always relate to people. This makes him a caring leader, but unable to properly act this way.

Both he and Senkuu are decent leaders on their own, but still not great. In conclusion, I say the best solution is to have the 5 generals, so some other council, in charge. They balance each other’s faults, this sharing of power relieves the pressure of leading the entirety of humanity from 1 person’s shoulders.

Main tangent over lol.

I def agree about Senkuu trying to save everybody, including Tsukasa, with all of the stuff happening at the beginning of Treasure Island Arc being a lot to juggle. This means to me that his decision to give Hyoga and Homura to the “authorities”/legal system is weak evidence for him being lawful.

I feel like we’re running this thread dry, so I pose another question: How do you feel about the ending of the manga, and how would you change it? I have some strong thoughts about those last few arcs lol.

*offers microphone in one hand and a bag of chips in the other*

Also happy holidays!!

Your honor they're homosexuals

Is there anyway to make Hargon talk faster?? I’m replaying the game and I forgot that his talking cutscenes last like 20 seconds each. Is there a way to make them go faster or do I just have to suffer?

Side note this aspect definitely downgraded my experience of the story, bc I’d get super into the game, then have to wait like 5 minutes for it to actually progress. That makes me feel like there is a way to skip it, but idk how lol.

every year i get a little sadder about them

So today I want to talk about puberty blockers for transgender kids, because despite being cisgender, this is a subject I’m actually well-versed in. Specifically, I want to talk about how far backwards things have gone.

This story starts almost 20 years ago, and it’s kind of long, but I think it’s important to give you the full history. At the time, I was working as an administrative assistant for a pediatric endocrinologist in a red state. Not a deep deep red state like Alabama, we had a little bit of a purple trend, but still very much red. (I don’t want to say the state at the risk of doxxing myself.) And I took a phone call from a woman who said, “My son is transgender. Does your doctor do hormone therapy?”

I said, “Good question! Let me find out.”

I went into the back and found the doctor playing Solitaire on his computer and said, “Do you do hormone therapy for transgender kids?” It had literally never come up before. He had opened his practice there in the early 2000s. This was roughly 2006, and the first time someone asked. Without looking up from his game of Solitaire, the doctor said, “I’ve never done it before, but I know how it works, so sure.”

I got back on the phone and told the mom, who was overjoyed, and scheduled an appointment for her son. He was the first transgender child we treated with puberty blockers. But not, by far, the first child we treated with puberty blockers, period. Because puberty blockers are used very commonly for children with precocious puberty (early-onset puberty). I would say about twenty percent of the kids our doctor treated were for precocious puberty and were on puberty blockers. They have been well studied and are widely used, safe, and effective.

Well. It turned out, the doctor I worked for was the only doctor in the state who was willing to do this. And word spread pretty fast in the tight-knit community of ‘parents of transgender children in a red state’. We started seeing more kids. A better drug came out. We saw some kids who were at the age where they were past puberty, and prescribed them estrogen or testosterone. Our doctor became, I’m fairly sure, a small folk hero to this community. 

Insurance coverage was a struggle. I remember copying articles and pages out of the Endocrine Society Manual to submit with prior authorization requests for the medications. Insurance coverage was a struggle for a lot of what we did, though. Growth hormone for kids with severe idiopathic short stature. Insulin pumps, which weren’t as common at the time, and then continuous glucose monitoring, when that came out. Insurance struggles were just part and parcel of the job.

I remember vividly when CVS Caremark, a pharmaceutical management company, changed their criteria and included gender dysphoria as a covered diagnosis for puberty blockers. I thought they had put the option on the questionnaire to trigger an automatic denial. But no - it triggered an approval. Medicaid started to cover it. I got so good at getting approvals with my by then tidy packet of articles and documentation that I actually had people in other states calling me to see what I was submitting (the pharmaceutical rep gave them my number because they wanted more people on their drug, which, shady, but sure. He did ask me if it was okay first).

And here’s the key point of this story:

At no point, during any of this, did it ever even occur to any of us that we might have to worry about whether or not what we were doing was legal.

It just never even came up. It was the medically recommended treatment so we did it. And seeing what’s happening in the UK and certain states in America is both terrifying and genuinely shocking to me, as someone who did this for almost fifteen years, without ever even wondering about the legality of it.

The doctor retired some years ago, at which point there were two other doctors in the state who were willing to prescribe the medications for transgender kids. I truly think that he would still be working if nobody else had been willing to take those kids on as patients. He was, by the way, a white cisgender heterosexual Boomer. I remember when he was introduced to the concept of ‘genderfluid’ because one of our patients on HRT wanted to go off. He said ‘that’s so interesting!’ and immediately went to Google to learn more about it. 

I watched these kids transform. I saw them come into the office the first time, sometimes anxious and uncertain, sometimes sullen and angry. I saw them come in the subsequent times, once they were on hormone therapy, how they gradually became happy and confident in themselves. I saw the smiles on their faces when I gave them a gender marker letter for the DMV. I heard them cheer when I called to tell them I’d gotten HRT approved by insurance and we were calling in a prescription. It was honestly amazing and I will always consider the work I did in that red state with those kids to be something I am incredibly proud of. I was honored to be a part of it.

When I see all this transgender backlash, it’s horrifying, because it was well on the way to become standard and accepted treatment. Insurances started to cover it. Other doctors were learning to prescribe it. And now … it’s fucking illegal? Like what the actual fuck. We have gone so far backwards that it makes me want to cry. I don’t know how to stop this slide. But I wrote this so people would understand exactly how steep the slide is.

Apologies to all Stan fans 😔

I am a firm Stanley hater. I hate him as a person, and I think he’s a decent character. But damn I hate his anime colors. I don’t even know why! Something about the yellow ass hair with random honey-brown eyes rubs me the wrong way. I’m sorry all Stan lovers, but this is not it💀

Like he’s supposed to be intimidating?? He just looks kind of goofy like that. I always draw him with super light blond hair and gray eyes. The warm colors contrast his personality too much.

Although I will admit I like how the hair parts by his ears are darker, giving the appearance of an undercut which looks cool, as well as the purple lipstick. He’s killing it. But again, the cool purple clashes weirdly with the warm hair and eyes. They did I a good job carrying over his eyelashes too, they look very nice.

They did something similar with Luna, where they took her colors but made them super bright and unflattering. Like sure the dress could be passed off because it’s a target, but her hair is so bright and cool toned, it doesn’t work for her. All together it feels too contrasting and is hard to look at.

I really like Zeno’s colors, but he’s basically monochrome so like🤷‍♀️. They got him right at least.

All of this is in my opinion. I apologize again to the Stanley fans. You guys write great fanfic and I love you<3

STANLEY SNYDER

i dont like dwelling on this exchange much bc its a magnet for people trying to "prove" god's silliest sonboy gon freecss is actually a manipulative sociopath 😒... but it does stand out to me whenever i skim the manga again & i do think its pretty interesting?

like i think its a bigger indicator of killua's issues with communication than it is gon knowingly taking advantage of him or whatever losers who are wrong say. which falls in line with a lot of the holes killua digs himself during this arc in general, which is just that hes avoiding having tough conversations bc hes terrified/convinced gon will respond poorly—a fear that comes far more from his own poor self-esteem and history with abuse than anything gon's intentionally done

and i guess another reason im interested is bc this along with the brief argument he has with killua in the same forest feel like theyre establishing that gon is aware that killua has a pattern of being very indulgent with him, to the extent that he can trust this habit will avoid unnecessary conflict w meleoron, and that seeing killua being actually, seriously stern makes him worried. bc gon is very emotionally intelligent and picks up on peoples behavior. & as much as i really loathe to be in the vicinity of losers who are wrong i do think what gon's picked up from killua is that killua doesn't mind if gon is stubborn at him and that doing it will work on him. bc killuas never told or shown him otherwise shrug

also meleoron being consistently on the periphery of gon and killuas insane 13 year old gay shit is rlly funny to me btw. guy signed up for regicide not whatever this is
