What should have been a shower thought but it's actually a just-before-going-to-sleep thought:
As far as I know, there's no historical recording about why is hide and seek a thing. Sure, we have our childhood memories, our parents sharing theirs, stories of children playing it from XVIII century to Middle Age, but never a reason for the game on itself. One could say it's for fun, but the rules are:
•If you seek: You wait for them to hide while standing on a certain spot, and you have to catch ALL of the players to win
•If you hide: You are not to be found, and you must reach a certain spot to win.
Now, what does it reminds you of?
Any particular event?
Or maybe a lot of events?
What I'm getting at is, as chess is a child-friendly recreation of wars during Feudalism, hide and seek might as well be a representation of the mythical Trojan war or the neverending conquerors-conquered territories dynamic.
I fricking love Beastars. I realy do. But I’m not gonna pretend that it’s perfect.
So here are SEVEN major flaws about this pretty great manga.
I’m a big fan of crime fiction mysteries. My favorite detective is Phryne Fisher. So I looked forward to a classic murder mystery.
But Legosi just kinda… solved it.
Sure, the way he solved it was fine. But I would have liked a little more buildup, I wanted Riz to be properly introduced and be allowed to guess who the culprit was. I think Riz as a murderer is great and he is a perverse mirroring of Legosi with a burdening guilt/lack of guilt parallel… But I wanted to be given the chance to guess and wonder.
The thing about Melon that makes him both a god villain and a BAD villain is the fact that he is all over the place. Sort of an animal Joker I guess.
I think of Melon as a perverse anarchist. He has an ideology similar to Louis at the start of the series, just times ten. He believes that civilization is a farce and that everyone is a bunch of drooling animals playing pretend, meaning he doesn’t have to feel any guilt at all about the horrible things he does since he is just another mad beast.
But it doesn’t feel like he has a specific goal as such. He cause pain to everything around him just because he can. Sure, there is the thing about him desperately wanting to know what tasting something is like, but it doesn’t feel like a dominating factor in his life.
When there IS romantic interaction between the characters then it is pretty darn good. But we need MORE of it. I get that Legosi and Haru has a long-distance relationship since they are different places in life, but it doesn’t have to be THAT long-distanced.
So you like Juno, eh? You enjoyed reading about Sebun, huh? You wanna know what’s up at Cherryton Academy?
TOO BAD!
That went nowhere. Even Kyuu was all like “forget about that!” And it also seems a bit out of place in Beastars, it’s more of a Dragon Ball or One Piece thingy where superpowers are a thing.
Speaking of which…
I actually like the way hybrids were handled in Beastars, how they walked the fine line of having “powers” and still be somewhat realistic-ish. Legosi is huge and broad-shouldered because of his lizard grandpa, but he is more or less a normal wolf with the exception of being immune to poison which is a neat little detail. And Melon’s whole deal is that his body is so bizarre that it is a problem for him as well.
… But to let Legosi gain temporarily regeneration because of komodo dragon poison activating a gene AND make Melon buff overnight is… yeah… I’m at a loss for words.
Or a knife or take self defense classes, ANYTHING!
There's nothing like reading what's supposed to be a fluffy fic of one of my favourite pairs, only for one sentence to destroy me and sent me into an 15 minutes emotional breakdown when I should clearly be sleeping if the night sky is any indication .
Oh my, would you look at that. It is time for this year's first

April first, 1999
George blew the candles, encouraged by his family and friends. He didn't knew how long he would resist smiling. No, don't think like that, he nagged himself, they need this as much as you do. He just had to keep going, just a little more.
He decided to focus his attention on something other than the cake, like, Hermione and Ron. They remind me of Angelina and- nope. Harry, Harry who had also been-no. Percy, who should have- NO. Teddy, whose parents were-oh for Merlin's beard!-wait, what?.
Slowly but surely, the little Lupin was crawling in his onesie towards his puffy bludger , courtesy of Lee Jordan, probably to chew the wrapper with that toothless mouth of his.
The baby would be one year old in a few months and was already babbling, he couldn't help but chuckle. Then, he saw his chance, this was it! He ended his cake slice, picked up the baby and tickled him.
-It's quite late for you to be up, don't ya think, lil' fella? I'll take him to his crib-he told his father.
-Be careful-Arthur smiled softly. If he knew his intentions, he didn't said a word.
As soon as they were in the hallway, George exhaled as he leaned against the wall, and quietly, very quietly, he sobbed and shed a tear. No one mentioned him, but his twin's presence, or rather, absence, was felt all around the Burrow.
Teddy didn't liked seeing Georgie like this, he didn't liked it!. So he reached with his tiny baby hands to his cheeks, as if asking "Are you okay?". That seem to work when Uncle Harry touched his head.
He wasn't, but he played it cool for the kid-S'nothing, let's get you to your room
Teddy settled down on his chest with sleepy eyelids. Going up the stairs, he heard what he suspected when he saw the empty chair: he wasn't the only one that had stepped away from the party to mourn in peace.
-I-I miss you so much, my child, my Fred- Molly cried while looking at a picture of the Weasley twins laughing, maybe after one of many pranks they had pulled over the years.
The crib was just next to her mother's bed, as she would babysit Teddy for her admittedly large experience. He knocked, almost sorry to do so.
-Oh, George! I-I'm so sorry, I didn't know you were coming, I just-
-It's fine, mom. Don't worry about it.
-Did everyone ate already?
-Yup
Teddy looked at the old frame, frowning a little. Then he turned his hair red.
-Oh. Do you want me to hold you, darling?-asked the woman, cleaning her face and showing a sad smile.
-Fwed?
Fred. That was his first word. Fred.
The ghost grinned softly.
im so sick of the tiktok discourse around encanto that ive gone back to every character is straight and cis just to spite the bitches.
So, I've been unsuccessfully trying to find a kagehina fic series and I give up in trying by myself.
It was a female! Hinata AU, with her POV where she pretends to be a boy, and the dialogues from it I remember were something among the lines of:
“I need you...to catch my sets”
Oh, for the love of all porkbuns!
___
“Hinata, why are you wearing a skirt”
___
“My mom is going to kill me. She's gonna think I'm some sort of Casanova, bringing girls into my room and such”
And it had a daisuga spinoff, in which I remember Suga said something about Daichi having a spit kink.
I'd really appreciate any help in finding it.
So I just saw the Miraculous Movie and-
I'm a hardcore lukanette shipper
But Jeremy Zag got me hooked on the love square?! Their dynamic felt so natural, ladynoir and adrinette were handled at a nice pace, and their filler moments did not felt like filler.
Also the animation is top-notch, the characters look gorgeous, most of the songs were amazing (especially the tikki-marinette duo), it made Paris feel alive unlike the series
SPOILERS AHEAD
And did I mention how they managed Gabriel and Chloe??
The mean girl joke stays the mean girl joke without baiting us with a redemption arc and then deconstruct it. Granted, the movie couldn't have accommodate it in two hours, but still, it's greatly appreciated.
And sure, tragic backstory doesn't justify terrorism, but unlike the series has done twice, Gabriel actually shows emotions? And cares about his son???!
Hopefully they make a sequel.
