The Owl House fandom is very funny bcos at one end you have the Lumity shippers but then at the other end you have the people who are obsessed with the Bone Pit
don’t forget
everyone mark your calendars!! tomorrow is the annual “burn your childhood home down so you can never go back and leave on a long journey to get your brother’s body back because you committed the biggest taboo in alchemy and paid the price but all you really wanted was to see your mother again but now you realize dead people really can’t come back to life but there is still love and joy in the world” day!! :)
why is france called the hexagon when its abundantly clear that it’s a pentagon
let me relax……………will comment later…………………..
It obviously stands for Theoretical and Applied Mathematics
Obligatory question "is it short for Tamophania?"
no keep guessing
Something funny about the Scott Pilgrim adaptions I've noticed:
Ramona Flowers in the comics: "I change my hair like every 3 weeks"
Ramona Flowers in the movie: "I change my hair like every week and a half."
Ramona Flowers in the the anime: changes her hair every single day
At this rate if they make another adaption her hair will just start color shifting at all times like she got a damn invincibility star
Opinions on fullmetal alchemist?
Brotherhood is the best anime ever made.
It's the most tightly-plotted slowburn mystery I've ever seen. Everything ties together. It makes more and more sense the more times I rewatch it, which in a mystery story is goddamn rare. In the very first episode, the filler villain at one point says "You don't understand the shape this country is in!" and that's a completely innocuous thing for this character to say except no it isn't
The magic system is a beautifully hard arrangement that never breaks its own rules, and it effortlessly explains everything you need to know to follow every alchemy-based twist just through the explanation of equivalent exchange and the question "what could equal the value of a human soul?" Alchemy follows equivalent exchange at all points and functions basically like Advanced Chemistry, and whenever it looks like the rules are being broken, it's just because somebody is burning human souls to do it.
The cast is massive, but never crowded. Everybody has a part to play. Even the seemingly-interchangeable minion characters all end up being unique contributers to the plot; there is truly no separation between Main Characters and Minor Characters because at any point anyone can turn out to be suddenly deeply important.
Contains a profound philosophical meditation on how even the most powerful person is not omnipotent, and the purposelessness of a power that can't be used to save the people they love, and this theme culminates in the only instance of the "extremely cool powerful badass sacrifices all their powers" trope that I actually 100% like.
Somehow this slowburn hard-magic mystery builds up to a massive anime confrontation about teenagers using the power of friendship to kill god and it never makes any buckwild leaps to get there. The resolution is emotionally satisfying and ridiculously kickass.
There are stories that I come back to more often, or hit me harder in the moment, or contain higher highs, or had more impact on their genres, but FMA:B is, pound for pound, the best anime ever made. 10s across the board.
