2024 is the 10th anniversary of the TV anime "Mysterious Joker" broadcast!

#Kaitou Joker #Mysterious Joker #Animation 10th Anniversary

[miraclespin]

If you follow the source link on the post I reblogged previously, you can see a special anniversary image to commemorate the anime turning ten this year, as well as an announcement for another brand collaboration- this time it appears to be a cafe. It seems to have the usual fare of keychains, cards, and acrylic standees, but there's also food this time, which is something I suppose. I wish I could read the details on the drinks. I do wonder why it's Phoenix that appears to be getting a coffee drink...

#Mun Post #Queen's obviously has strawberry in it- a milkshake most likely #Joker's is a cola float #not sure what Spade's is other than. blue. #Phoenix's just looks like black coffee mostly. with an orange wedge and some whip ig. #Shadow's is. Red. also it has what are probably meant to look like rose petals on it so it might have rose water in it #might; might not. idk. I cannot read it

A new Kaitou Joker serialization entitled Kaitou Joker Encore will begin releasing online (RAW) on April 15!

#Kaitou Joker #Mysterious Joker #Kaitou Joker Encore #((HOH???????????? #cries bc I can't finish the original one but like. idk I won't be able to read this one either LMAO #encore... is this like... a remake? or are they making more of the first series?? I'm so curious #is it by the same author? it looks very similar but also it looks like there's been a bit of a skill jump on joker himself #ough I'm... excited and anxious all at once. the anxiety has been a Thing lately tho maybe I can like. Get Over It or smth #I'm trying to anyways))

For anyone who saw the Worst Centaurs, I am sorry.

#Mun Post #I forgot that Tumblr has that awful awful feature #I don't think that it ever actually fixed it but I am keenly feeling the loss of the dashboard unfucker regardless 😔 #everything is messed up now and it's hard to concentrate properly; the userstyle is NOT an adequate substitute #I'm surprised that nobody has just lifted the code yet; it was an opensource project wasn't it?

HELLO KJ TUMBLR get your crumbs lol

i made some kaijo redesigns bc ive been thinking about the show more recently, character sheets and rambles under the cut :>

(also their group name is a reference to no more miracles on ao3, please read it its so good 😭)

first off!! queen my beloved (<- absolutely no bias whatsoever)

i actually think her canon design is really cute, but honestly with her whole swordfighting thing i feel like it would be better if she had an outfit that communicated that well. i made the poncho (cape thing?? idk) be attachable to either sides of the blouse because i just forgot to stick to one side, thats my excuse for not redrawing queens design sheet lmao

next up!! good lird (im sorry joker ily but. honey 😭)

hes supposed to be a parallel to the joker card but he looks more like a magician??? unfortunately im attached to his canon design no matter how much i hate it so i wanted to keep the whole suit thing. i wanted to add some jester motifs without having to change his hat, so i swapped his cape for a tailcoat and added the classic duo colors you see in jester designs (also just want to rant about clover getting the jester hat for some reason???? that might be a protagonist-antagonist parallel in the story but its been a while since ive watched it so im not sure)

i really dont like how jumbled the palette in his canon design is because!! theres too much going on!!! i remember seeing an alternate version of his suit in one of the kj valentines magazine pages, and it had a really nice velvet color which honestly suits him better

lastly!! the reason why there isnt a sheet for spade is because honestly i think his design is really good as is?? i didnt really know what else to add because his design communicates his character really well and he has a pretty good color palette

i might try to redesign more characters when i have the time but ngl this is just an excuse for me to redesign joker 💀

just learned that a mutual of mine is pro israel (they’re now blocked) so i wanted to take the time to say that if you believe what’s happening in palestine is not a genocide than you are not welcome here. unfollow me block me whatever i don’t want you interacting with me at all

Sometimes I get notes on a post or something, but when I go to look at it, it's as if it isn't there. The number goes up and everything, but I can't see who liked the post or whatever was done. If this was my other blog, I'd assume it was a note on that one post that I used XKit to block notifications for since it was clogging my feed. I can still see a notification, but I can't see the actual note itself. I sometimes see the time slot when this happens, though.

I don't have any posts that I've done that with on this blog, though, so I have no idea what the cause of it is. I have a couple of guesses, but that's about it:

The note came from a person who I had blocked on my main, but for some reason neglected to properly block on my sideblogs.

The note came from a person who blocked me on my main, but not my sideblog, for some reason, even though you can tell who owns my more active sideblogs because I literally put my main in the description, and usually link back to it somewhere on the blog itself. Though admittedly, I don't really know who pays that much attention to that; I feel like a lot of people here don't pay attention to a lot of the things I try to say that don't relate directly to the fandom, most notably my pinned post with relevant BYF links and a DNI statement writ in bold letters...

So yes, sometimes I'll get what I refer to as "ghost notes", and I wonder about them. It's a little stressful, due to the probable reasons I cannot see them that I mentioned.

#Mun Post #don't mind me too much; just thinking I suppose #up too late at night after having had too much caffeine again #being in the fandom isn't as fun as it used to be; I feel incredibly wary of almost everyone I meet anymore #trying not to step on landmines I don't know exist; or else exploding bc someone stomped all over mine when they were clearly marked #the explosion can take many forms but mostly involves me quietly stewing in upset for a while #which is basically how I respond to coming across others; honestly. #anyways as long as you play by the rules then don't be afraid to talk to me! #I do try to be civil on here at least; tho that's largely contingent on other people doing the same and minding the boundaries I've set

While it's a popular headcanon, or seems to be at least, I do not think that Joker can be canonically considered to be albino, since his skin would be much paler than it is, otherwise. (To say nothing of the question of whether or not he has any visual impairments, which is a personal pet headcanon of mine, but is also not clearly confirmed either way.)

However, I do still think that it is an interesting idea to play with for an AU. It adds a tiny bit of an extra dimension to his nocturnal tendencies/lifestyle.

#Kaitou Joker #Mysterious Joker #((realistically speaking tho it'd still probably suck for him; the lack of melanin apparently causes a lot more problems- #than one might initially realize. #also imagine; albinism or not; if he naturally had a diurnal sleep schedule; I feel like canonically he always had a bit of a nocturnal ben #*bent. it lets me type the T but then cuts it off every time I try to save it. annoying. #so adjusting to that was probably fine; if his chipper attitude half the time is any indication #but if he was meant to be awake in the daytime and thus could not properly adjust; he'd always be having a Really bad time #doubly so if you throw the poor eyesight headcanon and albinism AU on top of it #Joker the frail sickly victorian child; who would very much rather be anything else #augh just remembered I tend to give him a weak immune system too; sometimes paired with disguised vitiligo #can't really have both in the albinism AU but I CAN still nerf his general health. #man I sure love to bully this particular orphan for some reason huh. what the actual fuck is wrong with me. #not much worse than reading between the lines of canon anyways; but Still))

There are two facts about Shadow/Cyan that I feel like is a little bit overlooked in fan creations, be visual artwork or writing:

According to the first of the two CD dramas, Shadow apparently practices his diction religiously in front of the mirror, presumably as a part of whatever daily routine he maintains.

While a specific nationality is never mentioned (par for the course for all but a very few of the characters of this series, actually), something that is true for all adaptations of the series as we know it is that Cyan and his sister are from some smallish, backwater sort of town with very little contact with the outside world. In short, he's a bumpkin.

We already knew that a lot of how he presents himself is an affectation; the practice with his articulation really isn't that big of a stretch, given what we already knew about him. He's probably somewhere between "refined villain" and "rough antihero" archetypes, as per the sorts of media he seemed to enjoy (I wonder if the village procured bootleg DVDs for the children's entertainment, or something?). Him behaving as a showy (and let's not forget, edgy) character for his own gratification is utilized fairly well by the fan base, I reckon. But something that hasn't been tapped, even if it has been acknowledged in a few places, is that he came from a small town; an isolated community that probably relied on farming and livestock.

Thusly, I propose a couple of things with regards to how people can approach writing his character:

Give him his moments of proper articulation, a little to the point of excess, depending on how powerful/enigmatic/important he is trying to make himself appear. (Or if he's just in an exceptionally good mood, already feeling kind of cool, etc.)

Have this facade slip sometimes; whether it be because he is tired, relaxed, or suddenly surprised and/or taken aback, give him some kind of country vibe. If I was talking really hardcore, you'd have him speak in whatever native language you headcanon that he speaks, but specifically a suitable rural regional dialect; giving him anything from an exaggerated written country drawl, to a noticeable yet moderately informal dialect would do, though. I get that it'd be awfully hard to accurately depict what you've never heard before, and might not be very well documented.

All of this is just for fun, mind. Generally speaking, it's something that I'd like to do myself, provided I can remember to do it, and that the opportunity arises to insert it into one of my stories.

#Kaitou Joker #Mysterious Joker #Cyan/Shadow #Shadow Joker #((don't forget that some of this applies to Rose as well- she's from the same place as him #and might have a slightly more prominent dialect; being as she's mentally significantly younger than him. #this is kind of like the Akai rhyming his riddles/quizzes thing that I absolutely did not notice until an article mentioned it #even if I listened I probably wouldn't be able to tell... it's such a shame that it doesn't carry over in translation very well! #it would've been such a fun detail if I had picked up on it... it's a pity I don't like Akai as much as the others; I don't really want to #write him very often. beyond very specific AUs; anyways...))

I must confess that part of the reason I've taken so long to return to regular posting, outside of running out of postable ideas, is that lately I've been feeling like the fandom is something of a hostile place. The influx of Twitter users from a while back has done nothing to make me feel happy or safe on this platform, as I feel five seconds away from being berated for one imagined slight or another anytime I show my face around here. (It has absolutely happened before on another blog, due to what I can only imagine was some self-centered individual deciding that what I said simply had to be about them. I still have no idea who they were, but they've ensured quite of bit of my ire towards them due to these actions alone.)

And yes, I get that my opinions on a certain crowd of people are... contentious, for some reason. But it's lead to it being very hard to enjoy the series like I once did, or to not feel anxious and terrified interacting with someone in the fandom that I cannot properly vet for one reason or another, thus leaving it open to the possibility of simply stepping right into trouble... or into being ignored, with no reason given as to why. Technically, I am not owed one; but when you're engaging with fan works, it helps to know that you are not accidentally supporting someone that your own ethics dictate that you shouldn't be.

And I wish I didn't care as much as I do. At the very least, I wish I could dismiss things a lot easier than I actually can, without quickly becoming attached to one of the few things I find myself enjoying in the fandom, only to possibly find out that the person who created it goes so harshly against my own ideals that I'm left feeling guilt-ridden and repulsed. It'd be a lot easier if I could just say "oh, what a shame," and drop these things in a heartbeat with little more than a bat of an eye.

I'm sorry, I've gotten a little bit long-winded again. I just miss the way things used to be. I feel so uncomfortable. And I cannot simply disengage for a while, because right now thinking about this series is one of the few things I can reliably do and enjoy. Simply put, my brain isn't letting me put this one down, yet. I do hope that it doesn't end up killing it for me like with Astro Boy.

#Mun Post #Long Post #((I'm sorry; basically I've just been an anxious mess lately; and recent interactions certainly haven't helped very much))
