#and to the team that made it

Now that I've finished Kat's anime, I want to highlight these two specific moments from the final episode.

These are two beliefs that I hold very strongly, and I rarely see them expressed well, so I want to talk about them for a second.

The first one, being the idea that we do not stand where we are on our own. This is something that I think about a lot because of my sexual orientation and gender identity. There's certainly still a long way that we have to go, but I was able to come out at 16 because of the progress that was made by those who came before me. It is only because of those who were brave enough to stand up when it wasn't safe that there's a world where it's (more) safe. I live in a country where I can marry whoever I want and was enabled to ask for my pronouns on my nametag at work because of the bravery of those who came before. Of course, things aren't perfect. There is still so much to do. But that's for me to do. I owe it to the memories of those who came before me and to the dreams of those who will come after to continue the fight. The anime ended up being a beautiful example of that, and of the idea that we have to, one day, pass things onto the next generation.

Which brings me to my second thing. "The power of friendship" is, admittedly, a bit trite. This is ultimately a kid's show. But it would have been so easy for them to paint it as a mystery that Professor Layton was able to solve all on his own, that he didn't need anyone, because he's so smart. (You see that a lot in adaptions of Sherlock Holmes, but that's a rant for another time.) But they didn't. This puzzle, like most of them, were solved by working together. I made a post when I completed all of the puzzles in Kat's game that was kind of about this, but there's a quote from Newsies that I love that applies here: being boss doesn't mean you have all the answers, just the brains to recognize the right one when you hear it. It's not about being the smartest person in the room, it's about teamwork and delegating and everyone working together. I know I've posted multiple times before about how most episodes of the anime simply come down to love, and I stand by it. No man is an island, after all, and when we care about each other and the bonds that we form together, we succeed together. While maybe a little cliché, I found the anime to be a touching meditation on that.

#layton mystery tanteisha #lmt spoilers #katrielle layton #hershel layton #i love love loved the anime #like yeah it is a kids show #but i have always been a strong proponent that just because something is primarily aimed at kids #does not mean it doesn't have value for adults #the lego movies #for instance #are absolutely some of the funniest movies i have ever seen #and have some of the best messages #and i will break a chair over the head of anyone who tries to dismiss avatar the last airbender as media for children #and this anime was no exception #it was an absolute delight #i'm very grateful to the team who worked to translate it #and to the team that made it #holy crap if i start talking about the layton and katrielle reunion #i will never stop #i had like a specific list of things i wanted from it #(okay it wasn't a very long list #i wanted a hug and for him to say he was sorry) #and they blew it out of the park #it was perfect #gave me everything i wanted and more #i never would have dared to let myself dream to see a grown man cry and for the narrative to allow it and not turn him into a punchline #but they did!!! #he hugged his daughter and he cried and it was beautiful!!!!!! #queue takumi defense squad

“apollo wrote the hamilton musical in pjo” “hermes wrote the hamilton musical in pjo” you fools. ¿have you forgotten who the greek god of theatre is?

#fun fact in ancient times at the festival of dionysus they’d hold competitions judging various features plays against each other #anyways my headcanon is that he made it before getting banished and hermes and apollo found it after he left #though it would be hilarious if it was some hellish coproduction where the three of them teamed up #probably ruined a few lives in the process #pjo #pjo series #pjo tv show #percy jackson #percy jackon and the olympians #percy jackson and the olympians #apollo #apollo pjo #hermes #hermes pjo #dionysus #mister d #dionysus pjo #lin manuel miranda #hamilton musical #hamilton

The parallels between these two haunt me.

#they both made deals with the lords in black to protect the town but their definitions of evil are so different #miss holloways been around long enough to know you can’t save everyone but she’ll never stop trying #grace’s close-minded take on humanity is a testament to her naivety and she burns with the passion of a kid who thinks she can do anything #team starkid #hatchetfield #hatchetverse #nerdy prudes must die #npmd #starkid #grace chasity #miss holloway #nightmare time #myart #fanart

I played Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky for the first time a little while ago and was reminded of how very wholesome the PMD series is. So here are some completely self-indulgent drawings of my rescue team. Shout-out to anyone else that has played the game with this specific combo!

#varggarn #pmd #pokémon mystery dungeon #pokémon mystery dungeon: explorers of sky #pmd:eos #charmander #phanpy #pokémon #pokemon #pokémon fanart #trying out some slightly different rendering styles #games #fanart #me? posting art? #well it happens every once in a blue moon #if I can keep this enthusiasm for art a while longer #I might actually render the drawings I made of my PMD: Red Rescue Team duo many years ago #or even make some fanart of other characters in the games

[ID in ALT] I've made posts before about Talia/Dick co-parenting Damian moments (will never happen but let me dream) and this came to me in a vision. Took me ages to finish for some reason 😭 and then even longer to post

#dc comics #dc #damian wayne #dick grayson #talia al ghul #batfamily #dc robin #nightwing #anyway. yes im a self-indulgent ''dick as damians secret third parent'' truther #like i DO think it's way more complex and nuanced than the schmoopy affectionate fan portrayal of it #they're brothers they're father and son they're partners they're the dynamic duo except only in past tense etc etc #but consider! I'm not immune to schmoopy affection in fanworks. it compells me despite itself #anyway it's technically not that crazy when it comes to dick and damian. they hug! often! at least they did #it's not as big a leap to these types of scenarios #also talia ''somewhat absent for complex reasons on both her and damians part but very loving and loved by her son'' al ghul #you will always be famous to me #son of the demon origin...bwahhh #anyway. someone made a comic kind of like this/like a post i made abt this topic #but way funnier bc dick and talia starting trying to beat each other up #so go look at that as well #anyway. it's been a somewhat difficult few weeks so I'm. desperately trying to take it easy #i got some reading with me (first vol of kevin smiths GA run that i found second hand and jaimes BB run vol 2!) #so we'll see how far i get through those. considering there's demons in my head telling me to re-read things (LET ME OUT!!!) #when i finish GA and BB i do plan on rereading robin 2021. as a treat to myself #it's a run I've really warmed up to as time went on #I'm keeping up w/ the current b&r run even though it is. admittedly very slow w/ some weird dialogue #i read it for the damian content more than anything. also nikas back so that's neat :] #idk I have a feeling that after absolute power shakes out we might get some more creative team switch ups #so if anyone at dc is interested in taking over the reigns on b&r...that could be very neat #mine
