I was idly scrolling through your spy x family liveblog (Have never watched it and was trying to decide if I should) and when my eyes fell on "Yuri Briar puts the B in Behnchod" the SPITTAKE I did asdfghjhkgl. Was NOT expecting to come across bc in the naruto blog I've followed forever I'm crying... aaaaand now realizing that the 'ayesha liveblogs xyz' should have been a giveaway lmao. anyway feel free to ignore if this is intrusive but I get so unreasonably happy whenever I come across another south asian on the World Wide Web <3
sending you the biggest hug as thanks for your service in the trenches of 'Kakashi is Sasuke's dad.' Truly you are a pioneer. Hope you have a great day
Hahaha, I'm glad you enjoyed that joke, I knew it was very niche commentary!! Also, if you're on the fence about Spy x Family, my vote is yes. It was a breath of fresh air for me!
And in complete fairness to not seeing the South Asianness right away, I know the name Ayesha has travelled across sooooo many cultures LOL, and a good portion of people do call me Gohan too. But yes, I am Indian! Not intrusive at all. <3 I also love seeing other South Asians in anime spaces, too. (And honestly Black and brown anime fans in general, partly because a lot of fandom spaces do feel really segregated, for want of a better term, and I love to have a community of mutual experience.)
Thank you for being on board the Kakashi is Sasuke's dad train, and for this lovely message. <333 Also for some South Asian Naruto content, you may enjoy my Diwali tag!

Ayesha Liveblogs Free! S3
I will never get tired of Makoto offering Haru a hand out of the water
OMG I guess some things do change Makoto’s been dunked and I kinda love it
“I’m never gonna be a normal person” wow who is this this Goth Diet Haru
I love the phrase “hot minute” actually thank u for ur teen slang Asahi
Offering people his lecture notes and texting back right away will anyone ever be as good as Makoto? Trick question no
“I’m still young and innocent” “That’s a weird thing to say” I love that Haru’s meeting a bunch of people who aren’t used to his antics
This flashback seems to indicate that Haru felt Some Kinda Way about Ikuya which is weird because they look almost the same
“Don’t worry too much about the family” LMAO Sosuke has received a blessing from his cousin to follow Rin to Australia 
“Just inferior copies of Ikuya” that’d be more meaningful if Ikuya had done anything other than stare broodingly
It’s telling that the Iwatobi team is dressed like the Wiggles in this outro
All this outro really told me is that they aren’t really that good at differentiating main character design
“We have to try not to spoil them too much” I approve of Ikuya’s brother and his co-parenting buddy
“I’m not going to move ever again,” said Asahi, with the full confidence of a twelve-year-old boy who knows absolutely nothing about anything
Okay but for real Ikuya and Haru straight up look like siblings this weird rivalry energy on top of that fact is a little bit Much
[Rose and Rosie voice] It’ll never work out their hair is the same colour  
“Is Haru the guy who was all dressed up and riding a camel in the recruiting video we saw?” UNBELIEVABLE their Arabian Nights outro from S1 was actually their recruitment video Iwatobi do u take constructive criticism
“I’ll even be good enough to compete against you” how many rivals does one young man really need my god
Hey Trenchcoat Man maybe introduce yourself before telling these teens how to live their lives
Dude you’re so controlling trying to prevent Ikuya from seeing his friends
Ahhhhh I love Haru being in touch with his emotions and apologizing to Ikuya tbh I give Makoto and Rin a lot of the credit for his ability to communicate lmao 
“I’d prefer you didn’t keep him too long” listen I get where you might be coming from since Haru hurt Ikuya’s feelings but also stop that
“Thought I’d give you a wake-up call” I really don’t like the vibe of Hiyori
“Japanese guy! Friend of yours, maybe?” An accurate representation of what it’s like to hang out with white people lmao
There’s a different vibe from a teenager who giggles about swimmers’ muscles to an adult swim coach who is coaching swimming at a university giggling about swimmers’ muscles put that away Mikhail
Hiyori gives me the straight up heebie jeebies every time he opens his mouth
I can’t read Japanese but I have to assume Rin was gonna call Haru and reminisce about their bed sharing night lmao
Natsuya is some kinda Swimming Capitalist Nomad I’m not mad about it
“How many of these dreams do you have?” that’s valid lmao Rin has #calledout for being a rival slut
“His face told me that what matters most to him is not here” I can’t tell if this is a reference to Ikuya or to Natsuya’s white-haired rival-friend-boyfriend-probably
You know what, in the context of this show: Boyfriend 
“Hey, calm down. Listen, Archerfish--” HARU PLS
I don’t know Misae but the fact she calls her boyfriend Archerfish has already won me over
Hiyori would you fucking stop interfering this isn’t fair to Ikuya
“Ikuya’s too busy to waste his time reminiscing on childish things” well that should be Ikuya’s decision shouldn’t it like not 2 get 2 real but this is all the markers of an abusive relationship if someone does this to you please tell someone
God this stubbly weird man and his ominous advice STILL without any introduction 
“I’m getting sick of hearing you speak for Ikuya like you’re his damn boss” ME TOO ASAHI
YOU CANNOT DECIDE WHO IKUYA’S FRIENDS ARE HIYORI YOU ABSOLUTE SHITPRETZEL 
HA Ikuya knows you’ve been giving the boys the runaround fuckweasel
“If I swim with Tono, maybe it’ll help me understand him” Makoto coming after jerks with his best weapon: empathy <3
“People you swim with all seem to end up suffering, don’t they” LISTEN YOU ASSBANANA IT’S NOT HARU’S FAULT THAT PEOPLE GET OBSESSED WITH HIM HE’S JUST A GOOD SWIMMER
Omg I enjoy the drama of Sosuke interacting with the one (1) person in Japan who has seen Rin lately 
“I have to admit, I’m a little disappointed there isn’t a single pudgy person here” like I know this is probably gonna be a running gag for their opposite body preferences but it’s also a self-burn for the creators of this show only drawing different scales of one body type
I really do love that Rei is swim team captain now my boy has come so far
Oh Romio is there anyone in this swim universe that doesn’t have some kind of Traumatizing Swim Experience 
“Think about what your reason for jumping in is” Sosuke’s advice sounds like beautiful nonsense I don’t know how that’s supposed to help him concentrate on start times
Lmao I love this Overbearing Friend Gesture of Shizuru and Nagisa putting seaweed on Romio and Rei’s plates without asking kjhfkghfghfk
“Actually, if you don’t mind, we have a proposition” $500 says that Nagisa and Rei are about to propose a relay race
Update from 8 minutes later: Someone owes me $500
“Can you tell how proud I am?” Natsuya is such a good big brother <3
 Hahahaha “a guy he wants to swim with again some day” Natsuya is also a good wingman for Rin lmao
Based on his inner monologue Sosuke should also be a swimming coach except in the vein of Cryptic Trench Coat Stubble Man who just offers random unsolicited advice to any teenage swimmer he passes by in the street 
“I’m so proud of you” jgjhgjhg Shizuru I love you and your tears for Romio
What kind of child welfare laws are there in Japan that Hiyori’s parents were allowed to just leave him alone in the park
“When I saw [Haru] again, the weakness I thought I left behind came flooding back to me” the moral of this story is that competitive swimming makes you gay
Ikuya used to be fun and sweet lmao what made you so broody my dude
Lmao @ Hiyori being mad that Ikuya thinks of Haru as his Prince Eric instead of him 
Wow I love Nao being a guiding force for this group of nerds
“I’m not hearting anything for you” Asahi understands Stranger Danger
It took Ryuji a solid six eps to even get a name u’d expect him to have a more important character connection than Rin’s Swim Coach’s Rival
“Then you should start swimming other stuff” I Love Misaki, Adopted Child of Haru and Makoto 
Well this wistful playground vibe has taken a strange turn
“It’s none of your damn business okay!!” TONO JUST GOT DUMPED HA
KJGHKJGH THE RAGE IN HARU’S VOICE ABOUT THE MACKEREL
Ryuji: He can just buy me dinner or something. I’m not picky. As long as it’s not mackerel
Haru [through gritted teeth]: I’m ready when you are
AH I LOVE KISUMI AND ASAHI BABYSITTING TSUKUSHI
“After all we’ve been through, why does it have to be like this?” U MADE IT LIKE THIS HIYORI
HAHAHAHAH Makoto and Ryuji had a standoff of wills and Ryuji lost
“Maybe it’s time for you to approach things more seriously” Nao has declared it’s time to stop sowing your wild oats and settle down Natsuya
Kazuma only shows up to remind Sosuke he is free to run away to swim whenever
“Hope you’re well” “Hey relax I’m not your dad” [Natsuya immediately begins acting like their dad]
YEAHHHHHHHHHHHH GO HARU LEADING HIS CATEGORY
“I don’t think he’s all that bad of a guy” that’s Stockholm Syndrome Ikuya
I’m glad Ikuya is finally fucking having a meaningful conversation with his friends
“In the water I’m alone. No one’s gonna save me” Get therapy Ikuya!!!
Wow Haru joining a race purely to have an Emotional Confrontation with Ikuya is some kinda growth I’m just not sure what exactly
“That guy’s the only one anyone ever talks about” to be fair if your sample size is Iwatobi swimmers they are all a little in love with him
“That’s our BOYYYYYYYYYY” Aw Asahi <3 
Ghjkghk I love Makoto teasing Haru for being Ikuya’s hero
“Oh, you’re wise now?” AWWWW Ikuya is fun again good for him
 I know that Ikuya reaching out in friendship to Hiyori is supposed to be a sign of emotional security but I haven’t forgiven him for the way he’s manipulated Ikuya!!! Ur a seawitch not a Prince Eric!!! >:((((
I’m super thrown about them going straight from the qualifiers to the next race what will the last four episodes of this season be about
“I’ve been giving myself pep talks in the mirror. ‘I am a genius. I am a genius.’” HAHAHAHA I LIKE FUN IKUYA
“Looks like you beat me” “Just in free” Haru has released Ikuya into the universe for Hiyori and I don’t like it (for Ikuya’s sake) but that’s how it be I guess
How many siblings are there in the Mikoshiba family lmao there’s a new one every season 
“But gender doesn’t mean anything in a competition” I like u Lady Mikoshiba
“You mean you were Russian this whole time??” this is a lot to digest
I LOVE RIN’S PUDGY CAT STEVE LOL IS IT THE SAME IN JAPANESE
“The water likes you. I can tell” ALBERT PLS, Haru is already FULL-UP on homoerotic swim relationships
It’s killing me that they keep cutting to Makoto like Haru’s cheating on him though
Not to undermine the subplot of these last three episodes but hasn’t Haru... lost races before hgkjhgk
“I thought something soft and cute would help balance out that scary face of yours” omg STOP this cuteness 
Gghkhgk these flashbacks and Rin crying over Sosuke’s surgery are SO cute I never thought I would feel so proud of Rin way back in S1 he’s grown so much!!
Makoto being surrounded by ladybugs and butterflies like a wholeass Disney Prince
WHY are ALL of these swimming weirdos SOMEONE’S UNCLE
“You’re still as weird as ever, Haru’s the exact same way” I should start tracking how long in a conversation it takes characters to bring up Haru
Gnjghkjhg Makoto gets through to Haru in 0.5 seconds after two weeks of him ignoring his own coach. The power of fish metaphors and Love™
Kinda seems like they are setting it up like Makoto will also get to travel the world for swimming and let me say... I’m not mad about it
Update from like 2 minutes later: I WAS RIGHT
“That’s the evil king who wanted the magic lamp” the Arabian Nights references kill me every time 
Djkhdkjhd Ryuji labelling Mikhail in his phone as “Muscle Freak” that’s tru friendship
“You should say, ‘I’m totes hip with the kids, yo’” Ryuji pls 
“You’re so cute, you must be Iwatobi’s famous Kou” KHGKHGKJHKJ 3/3 MIKOSHIBA KNOCKOUT KOU
Awwwww Rei is so nervous for nationals my sweet baby boy
I ADORE that Rin and Haru are literally running across the city right before their most important meet bc they want to see their friends swim 
Rrgjhgr the one and only backstory in this show is former childhood friends and it applies to every single character
OMG Rei get his own flashback but with his boy Nagisa I love it
“I think he’d make a good rival for you actually” Makoto Tachibana: Rival Matchmaker
GOOD JOB BOYS U DID GOOD (ALSO TEAM PHOTO I WEEP)
“Try not to cry when I beat you” SOSUKEEEEEEEEEE
Wow this final episode is already clutching at my heart right out of the gate baby Haru 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Makoto letting four more boys pile into his one bedroom for the night bc he’s the Best Boy Alive
HJGHJKGH THIS EXCHANGE 
Mikhail: That’s what I call ‘totes hip with the kids’
Nearby youths: [Giggling]
Mikhail: [Soft indignant gasp] Ryuji!!
Natsuya and Ikuya have the cutest sibling relationship gjkghk THEY
The theme of this season is people hugging each other and crying over the lanes and I LOVE THAT 4 THEM
Rin and Haru and Makoto........... are good boys
“What is this, some kind of teen drama” that is exactly it, Rin
“He won’t stop talking about stupid crap like friendship and bonds” I love three (3) boys
Tumblr media
Bonus: Out of Order Liveblog of Free! Take Your Marks + S3E0
Haru dropping his pants in Makoto’s apartment without the immediate context of them being near water was the most high stakes moment in this entire anime I had no idea where that was going
Haru leaving his apartment hunting until the day before he moves: Mood
Sidenote: Makoto and Haru going apartment hunting is domestic as HELL I love it
“The two of you are inseparable, huh?” “We’re friends, deal with it.” Let people be gay Kisumi 
Lmao @ Nagisa and Rei’s yoga pose video Iwatobi is the cutest swim team in the world 
“Then one day even those tears will dry out in the Tokyo desert” who hurt you, Ms. Amakata 
“Allow me to welcome you to Tokyo, the city where love and lust intertwine” Free! Love and Lust could really be a subtitle of this anime lmao
“I’m talking about the whole bunkbed situation, you know, top and bottom” lmao shout-out to Sloane for that one art
I love the wordless communication between Makoto and Haru (and for that matter, Sosuke and Rin) I’m so glad they worked things out
I’m also happy Rin and Kou are cool now they used to have quite a gap
“Rin wasn’t that honest with himself” rjghg Rin and Haru miss each other
“This is the one,” said Haru, next to Makoto, His Completely Platonic Best Friend Who Dreams About Them Sharing An Apartment and Dropping Trou
I LOVE STEVE THE FAT CAT. AN ICON. A BEAUTY. CHUNKY BABY
“The treasure is inside the red shark’s mouth” there is DEFINITELY a Rin joke to be made here and the writers knew it
I don’t know what I love about this more that Aii and Momo are TERRIBLE at scheming or that that they are throwing Rin and Sosuke together on White Day lmao
This team vacation... Sosuke giggling bc he was tickled... !!!!!!! THANKS
I’m loving all these teams getting presents for each other jkhgkjg
Oh am I finally going to understand this Momo and Capybara backstory
Lol @ Natsuya pouring his heart abt Nao to Sosuke wholly unsolicited
“What were you about to ask” “Oh, not anything important (I’ll wait for you Sosuke)”
OHHHHHHHHHH THE CHARM BACKSTORY SOSUKEEEEEEEEEE
Oh Christ alive am I about to watch the Arabian Nights recruitment film
Hhhgjgjhg I gather the only reason Haru got his license was to compete with Rin
“I’m the evil king who is after the lamp for his own selfish reasons” I hate this... but also... I love this???
“I am a mysterious peddler. I travel carrying mysterious bundles. While riding atop of my mysterious partner Chappy the Camel” HARU STOP
OH MAKOTO HONEY U POOR SOUL JHGKHFKJGH 
“Makoto. When I’m nervous I think about mackerel” I am going to expire
“I think the three of you should implement your own version of it” Fhjkhgk Haru is telling them to exploit their bodies for school recruitment but also that’s not really anything new so fair enough
Nagisa: Rei is Perfect Killer Muscles Handsome in my heart!!!!!!
“Maybe I’m never going to understand him” Omg @ The Jilted Middle School Exes of Haru Club
“How David had to give up his love.... And then Veronica, knowing they couldn’t see each other anymore” call me crazy but I think Rin is projecting his own issues onto A Rat’s Life LMAO
Tjehjkhkje Sosuke needing to call Rin bc he got lost on his way to the bathroom... Useless Husband Energy
HAHAH Rin is so upset thinking Momo and Kou are dating
At least Rin recognizes that he doesn’t get to decide who Kou dates he can only express his approval or disapproval
“Momotaru Mikoshiba is a man who lives by passion” gjhgjhg stop this
“Rin would never lose to a persimmon, ever!” MAKOTO R U OK
“You are not less than a persimmon!” THESE BOYS. U R SO DUMB BUT ALSO GET U A FRIEND LIKE THE IWATOBI SWIM CLUB
“It’s cool if you need to cry” “If you stay in the pool no one will ever notice your tears” I LOVE SOSUKE AND HARU TEAMING UP TO TEASE RIN
I also deeply appreciate that even though I’ve never heard their Japanese voices I know exactly who is saying what line in this outro just by dialogue and tone of voice
+
“I have a crippling fear of mascot costumes” “Then why did you take this job” kjhgkjhgkjh if that isn’t a work mood 
Wait... if Makoto is going to be the substitute wrestler... WILL HARU BE THE SUBSTITUTE MASCOT AHHHHHHHH
WAIT NO I HAVE GRAVELY AND HILARIOUSLY MISUNDERSTOOD MAKOTO IS GOING TO BE BOTH MASCOT AND WRESTLER
“Iwa means ‘boulder’ and ‘tobi’ means ‘black kite’ so it’s a boulder-headed bird!!” Well that’s more of an explanation for the appearance of the Iwatobi mascot than I ever expected, Nagisa
“You don’t have a crippling fear of mascot costumes, do you?” No but I have feeling Makoto is about to develop one
Oh it’s THIS FUCKPUDDLE who asked u to be here Hiyori
“I don’t exactly hate it” high praise Ikuya lmao
Thkjhtkjh I love Natsuya’s long distance relationship it’s sweet 
HAHAHA is the beak thing supposed to be a ploy so people see Makoto’s face
“I cannot let Haru see me like this” “Hi Makoto” HAHAHAHAH I LOVE THIS WHOLE INTERACTION AND ALSO HOW HARU JUST GOES ALONG WITH ALL OF IT
Also I don’t know how Makoto was planning to hide his identity after he was addressed as “Mr. Tachibana”
LMAO @ MAKOTO BEING RECOGNIZED BY HIS LEG MUSCLES I’M SCREAMING
“Hey Makoto, use a backstroke!!” HARU PLEASE
“Well done, you’ll be a great mascot someday” “Thanks? I think?” This is the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen and I loved it
Oh my goooood Haru bringing Makoto presents for his siblings.... they have ascended to the college relationship levels of Natsuya and Nao
Man Ikuya could not radiate stronger “leave me alone” vibes 
“Wow you boys make a dashing pair” you said it Suit Lady not me

Ayesha Liveblogs Free! S1-S2
Good lord there are really only five English VAs huh 
I appreciate the level of existential dread it takes to sit in a bathtub in a bathing suit 
Apron designers I have some questions!!! Firstly: Whomst?
“Anything has magical properties if you believe hard enough” I love Nagisa
“What can I say, I’m a romantic” so what I’m gathering is that Haru and Rin were small and in love with each other
Update from one minute later: Angry with each other now, I guess? 
That’s right Haru you wear that swimsuit all day!!! But wash it bc that’s not a breathable fabric trust me you’re asking for trouble 
“You only live once so do what you want” Dghdfjghjkhkjdf I can’t believe that Amakata’s contribution to this disciplinary lecture amounts to “yolo”
Makoto really knows how to get Haru to do things he doesn’t want to do all he’s gotta do is whisper “pool” and there he is
“What is wrong with you” I hope that Haru continues to strip to reveal his swimsuit no matter where they are throughout this anime. The doctor’s office. A dog park. The mall. Pls let this be a trope
What the shit is this Arabian nights outro this is a Japanese high school swim anime lmao
There’s a joke to be made about the visual metaphor of Haru needing to quench his thirst in the ending but I’ll refrain 
How do their teachers keep finding out about their trespassing who is telling on these boys
What is Ms. Amakata’s previous job what kind of swim job could possibly be inappropriate to talk about at school
Omg Kou is so thirsty for swim boys and while I can’t really relate I appreciate her enthusiasm 
HARU’S STRIPPING AT THE FISH STORE THEY REALLY COMMITTED TO THE “I’LL SWIM ANYWHERE” TROPE I LOVE IT
“I promised myself that I’d never wear a swimsuit again” omg she was a swimsuit model
So Haru quit swimming because Rin is a sore loser? Suspect and lame
“No, come back, you’ll die!” Makoto is truly the highlight of this show and the friend Haru needs
Haru pls I’m weeping
Amakata: They might approve your request [if you win a swimming competition] 
Haru, already taking off his clothes: LET’S GET TO WORK
“He’s just like us! He’s a guy, but he’s got a girly name!” What kind of dumbass logic for deciding who joins your swim team Nagisa lmao 
“You talk about Haru a lot” Hahaha it’s bad form to bring up other people you admire when you’re flirting Nagisa, Rei is Offended™
Ffdhkdshfkhfkj he hasn’t gotten in the water yet but I’m pretty sure Rei can’t fucking swim
“That would’ve meant admitting defeat, and I’m not adept at that” okay I love Rei too this ensemble cast is so funny
Rei’s so cute omg his small and betrayed “but why” when he can’t float
Is it truly an anime without a rivalry-friendship with blatant homoerotic overtones
Oh wow that’s a weird thing for Rin’s sister to have to watch lmao
“Let the water guide you” “Could you try to be less abstract about this” I’m giggling at Haru just throwing out platitudes and hoping one sticks
“I’ll have you know that I have the constitution of a samurai” Rei you are by far the best part of this show so far
Wait a hot minute what in the hell happened in the ocean why do you have to say it like that Haru
Really if any Haru’s relationships are going to err on the side of romantic it should probably be with Makoto because they’re like actually friends and support each other lmao
I don’t know what’s wilder about this scene Makoto using his trauma to convince Haru to swim relay or the Gaze™ that follows
“You’d be the newlywed couple that gets killed in the first five minutes” HMMMM newlywed couple huh
This episode is soooo cute I love the boys bonding together in starlight
Wow was Rin’s problem with Haru just latent daddy issues all along I completely misread this situation
WAIT WAS RIN’S DAD ONE OF THE PEOPLE WHO DIED ON THE FISHERMAN’S BOAT
“It’s hard to explain, that’s just the way they are” “What’s that supposed to mean” people are gay, Rei
Why do the people on this show have such weird interpersonal relationships do you really need to hold Rin’s ankles for this conversation, Aiichiro
Regardless of her thirst Kou is really the best manager they could ask for
 “I will relish destroying you” okay calm down Swimsuit Sasuke
“This victory means I never have to swim with you again. Ever” were you not the one constantly harassing Haru for competitions???? What’s your problem Rin!!!
Haru looking at Mako like swimming has meaning again I don’t care if this is friendship or romance THAT’S LOVE BITCH
“It’s not that easy in real life huh” a weirdly realistic turn of events
Honestly Haru what a mood I never want anyone to contact me either
God could Mako and Haru’s relationship stop being the cutest in the world? This sleeping in the hallway for Haru to come home will not stand! Thanks
“Why is an amateur like that swimming with them?” BECAUSE THEY’RE NICE AND LIKE EACH OTHER, RIN
THEY WON!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I LOVE THEM
“That’s what you’re supposed to say if you arrive early for a date” IWATOBI SWIM TEAM DOUBLE DATE CONFIRMED (as if the outfits were not confirmation enough)
Gfgkfugkfg Rei is so put out Nagisa will not acknowledge his “exsquidsite” pun
This Rin/Haru/Mako dynamic could not be more like Ex-Boyfriend vs. New Boyfriend I’m wheezing 
“Hah, I’m a ninja” REI YOU’RE SO STUPID I LOVE YOU
“I hope he’s okay” Aiichiro is a better pal that Rin deserves this is such a one-sided friendship lmao
AW REI FEELS LEFT OUT OF THE MEMORIES POOR GUY
Is Rei gonna go pick a fight with Rin because I’d kind of be up for that
“I wanted to know what your feelings are towards Haru” Dad Mode Activated you will not hurt Rei’s buddies
“Don’t get in the way. If you do, I will never forgive you,” damn Rei!!! You’re not even his friend but those words packed a wallop
I like that each of these swim team boys has a friend whom they are closest to it’s nice and balanced
“Every single member of this team is irreplacable” LOVE AND SUPPORT!
I can’t tell if Rin invited Rei out to this ominous night meeting as overture of friendship or as a threat
Aiichiro get a new friend!!! You don’t deserve to be treated this way
AHHHHHHHHHHH REI YOU’RE SO GOOD “I feel the exact same way” you empathetic sweetheart <3 
WOW I do NOT approve of this Rin treats everyone like garbage for twelve straight episodes and then they reward this garbage behaviour by giving up Rei’s spot on the team just so Rin can enjoy swimming again??? Boooooo he doesn’t even go to your school
These fuckin flower petals FIND YOURSELF A HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP HARU
“Come on Matsuoka!” AGAIN, way better friend than Rin deserves 
LET REI IN THE GROUP HUG HE’S THE BEST ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“Well I’m thoroughly confused” ME TOO AMAKATA!!!! HOW DID THIS SOLVE ANYTHING 
Ten seconds into this second series and Mako continues to prove he’s The Best by cuddling cats to keep them warm
“You look good” “Stop patronizing me, damn it!” Rei and Nagisa’s relationship is also really a highlight of this show
“Rin’s far from the obvious choice for Mikoshiba’s replacement” that’s valid Rei, Rin has had a lot of trouble with the concept of being a team player thus far in his Samezuka career
“Just when you thought it was safe to cosplay” it is never safe to cosplay. Just ask all those Sasukes who got arrested
LMAO AT THIS DUMBASS STRIP SHOW IN FRONT OF THEIR SCHOOL
“My triceps are guaranteed to drive you out of your mind” I’M SCREAMIN THESE YOUTHS ARE AN EMBARRASSMENT TO SOCIETY
“You really gotta stop calling me sir, just drop it okay” “Yes s-eugokay” Beautiful voice acting. Iconic
Oh god please don’t give Haru another rival one was really enough
I never thought I’d say this but that was the most wholesome kidnapping in the world
Rin saying “Life after graduation” in the same tone as one might say “Life after death” is honestly a mood
Sosuke’s only had about five seconds of screen time but I’m gonna guess he’s Rin’s Australian ex-boyfriend
Update: Just his homie from elementary school I guess that’s fair
“So this is what a nationally-ranked swimmer’s build looks like” Aiichiro pls could you check Sosuke out with a little more subtlety 
“He’s the type of rival you can become obsessed with” AHHHHH Rin has been #calledout I think I like Sosuke
Okay you’re allowed to just be friends I’m just saying that runs on the beach in the moonlight are not always the most platonic activity, Haru and Makoto 
Omg Mako’s siblings love Rei I love it!!!!!
FDdkfhkdjhf I was certain Mikoshiba’s little brother would also have the hots for Kou but it’s still funny 
You go Kou judging the muscle contest live your dream
“If you know what’s good for you, you’ll stay out of Rin’s way” Wow Sosuke that was a HARD 180 chill tf out
Omf I can’t believe it took me this long to realize that Aiichiro and Rin were roommates and it wasn’t just Aiichiro showing up in Rin’s room every night like “hey”
“Preferably ones with wonderful muscles and tight washboard abs!” “Yeah!!” Iwatobi Swim Club pls
Does this mean that the Makoto and Haru go on midnight runs bc Haru is slow as all hell on land lmao
YEAH REI’S TRACK EXPERTISE BECOMING RELEVANT AYYYYY
Omg Nagisa nudging Rei’s shoulder is fucking adorable ahhhhhh
Rei’s plans: Being sad about your personal inadequacies (what a mood)
“Do you really think I’d be dumb enough to fall prey to something so preposterously illogical as love” CALLING IT RIGHT NOW REI’S GONNA FALL IN LOVE
Lmao @ Momo checking out Rin’s cleavage this is truly the weird “all siblings have the same taste in crushes” universe
“I THINK HE MIGHT HAVE BEEN REI’S BOYFRIEND” Okay 1) This is stupid but the part of me that actually wants these shows to have a diverse spectrum of sexuality is lured in thanks I hate it, and 2) How dare you Rei’s boyfriend is Nagisa
[Makoto voice] This is a swimtervention 
AHHHHHHH EVERYBODY LOVES REI (AS THEY SHOULD)
I bet Rei’s going to train in his time off because he wants to catch to the boys <3 
Update: He’s getting Rin to teach him finally some helpful friendship times from Rin!!!! Good job
“Which do you think I’d look more swole in” omg who wrote this dialogue
Pls Sosuke don’t use this childhood joke debt as an excuse to be like “Don’t hang out with your old homies anymore”
“I need to sit on it for a little longer, that’s all”
Sosuke, internally, probably: Kiss me
“I want you to think of me as part of your team” FINALLY SOME OPEN AND HONEST COMMUNICATION ABOUT YOUR EMOTIONS
Woo woo positive character development for Rin prioritizing friendship over competition this is such a nice turn
Uh oh why is Nagisa lying about his motives for camping has he been kicked out of his house for stripping in public
I grow more and more concerned for Nagisa with every scene
“We said no and we meant it” I can’t believe that Makoto and Haru are Nagisa’s new parents wow 
Well we know who the good cop parent is, Makoto had a conversation with Nagisa and exactly one (1) second later was convinced they had to rescue him
Update from 30 seconds later: I spoke too soon he got Haru too “I’ve decided to let him stay with me” THESE NERDS
But why do you have to unbutton your shirt a little in order to negotiate Rei
“Studying became like some kind of torture” that’s depression honey
This soft glowing light while Rei tells Nagisa to follow his dreams is so sweet but also jdhkjfhkdjh what if his parents are just mean 
These boys are the definition of ride or die they’re in this empty ass pool area still trying to hide their friend behind their backs what absolute best boys are these
“Haru” “I’m sneaky” CUTE!!!! Also good call on not calling mum but on calling Trusted Adult instead
“You can’t quit. I won’t let you” AHHHH THAT’S LOVE!!! REI <3
The matching swimsuit pose god every moment of this show kills me
“We’re a team! If we can’t do it together what’s the point?” WOW I CAN’T BELIEVE MAKOTO AND HARU HAVE BEEN A TEAM LITERALLY SINCE THEY WERE BABIES! PICK UP THE PHONE AND SMELL THE HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP
“Here, dolphin’s yours” Oh!!! Makoto has also been selfless since birth he just wants Haru to be happy but Haru just wants him to be happy too 😭😭😭😭😭😭
I also like this Matsuoka siblings bonding this is what I wanted from the beginning tbh
Aiichiro you superstitious little nerd
“I want to know what it feels like to kick your ass” what a hard swerve Makoto pls 
“Congratulations, between the two of us you’re still the best in the water, how awesome is that?” “Hah, you’re so weird” I’ve never seen someone so excited to lose Makoto is truly the best boy I love this relationship 
Aw is Makoto jealous of Haru’s relationship with Rin? I 100% buy it but baby!!! You are so good there’s no need to worry
I’m so proud of the Iwatobi boys for qualifying for regionals and also I bet this means that the Samezuka boys will win relay
Update from an ep later: I was correct
“Don’t limit yourself kid” are you not... the same age as him Sosuke???
Working theory is that Makoto wants Haru to care about being scouted so they can go to the same school together and swim there
“I wonder what Haru wants to do after graduation” be a mermaid 
Sosuke really needs to get in touch with his emotions good grief
“But I am sure about one thing, I love it and I don’t want to stop” in all seriousness do people intentionally write these relationships as romantically-charged or is that just something that happens? Like this 100% reads as an allegory for discovering your sexuality
Ahhhh Makoto helping the babies I know I’ve said this a million times in the past few episodes but he’s the best boy
“I haven’t thought about [Kisumi] in who knows how long” Wow does everyone in this show have an ex-boyfriend who suddenly pops up to stir up drama bc it sure seems like it
There’s probably some symbolism in Haru handing off of a boxed lunch 
“But isn’t it... scary?” “Only til it’s not” Oh my goooood I love this swim teaching arc I love Makoto I just!!! HE’S THE BEST
Ahhhh Haru bringing Makoto’s siblings to see him at work this is disgustingly domestic and I love it 
“If he’s competing at the regional level I’m guessing that means they fixed [Sosuke’s shoulder]!” Wow Kisumi was truly just here to inspire some drama omg
Ffgkdfjjkhg this elevator stand-off it’s the Battle of Rin’s Overly Intimate Swim Partners
Oh no Haru is having an anxiety attack yikes but I get it
HARU NO AHHH THIS SUCKS COMPETITIVE SPORTS ARE SO UPSETTING 
Man this was a real traumatizing episode what the fuck Free! You lulled me into a false sense of security how dare you
“We don’t do things for each other. That’s just how we are” Ddfksdjhfkjhfd even Baby Sosuke had a lot of true processing how a friendship should work wow
“I trust him implicitly, he’ll be here” idk homies Haru’s sort of in the middle of an Anxiety Episode those don’t usually go well
“I realize it’s over for me. But before I go, I want swim the best damn relay I can. With you. Today.” Wow Sosuke finally connects with his emotions and proves himself as Good Boyfriend Material in one swing
Is it really a swim meet if Rin doesn’t have a dramatic outdoor confession of feelings with a former rival 
Samezuka you’re adorable but also a health hazard where’s your adult
MY BOYS MADE IT TO NATIONALS I’M GONNA CRY
“Look at Sosuke, being a big cheese ball” CHARACTER GROWTH
“I think I finally found what I was looking for” “Took you long enough” okay this seriously reads like an allegory for coming to terms with your sexuality Sosuke I have so many thoughts
Amakata is such a good teacher she won’t let Haru be slandered
I’m glad the boys are getting some acknowledgement but poor Haru 
“You never hear someone talk about their last summer” TITLE REFERENCE
Wooooooow Sosuke’s really here to tell Haru to keep going just for Rin’s sake this is almost the opposite of their first confrontation but it’s still   about how much Sosuke cares about Rin what kind of single-minded boyfriend antics 
“Why the hell are you so hung up on Rin” LOVE, HARU, LOVE!!
Haru methinks Makoto was about to make an important declaration quit evading your friend/future (she said, hypocritically)
[Makoto voice] Swimtervention: The Sequel
YES MAKOTO GO HELP HARU YOU KNOW HIM BEST
“Why don’t you understand that we love you” AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH MAKOTO #1 BOY MOST IN TOUCH WITH HIS EMOTIONS BEST FRIEND GOOD BOYFRIEND MATERIAL BUT ALSO JUST A WONDERFUL BOY WHO WANTS HARU HAPPY
Okay okay I’m not trying to project romance onto this narrative (that’s a lie I’ve been sold on romance for a while) but like.... fireworks!!! Fireworks going off in the background while they stand in front of each other in silhouette PICK UP THE PHONE ANIMATORS
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“You and Makoto had a falling out, huh?” Omg not only does Rin pinpoint Haru’s problem right away he’s also making a direct parallel to him and Sosuke’s relationship my kinda amicable exes 
“It was our first fight” I’M WHEEZING THIS IS LIKE THAT EPISODE OF FRIENDS WHERE CHANDLER EXPERIENCES FIGHTING IN A RELATIONSHIP FOR THE FIRST TIME AND HE’S LIKE ‘GUESS WE’RE BROKEN UP’ AND MONICA’S LIKE ‘???? NO?’
Am I supposed to read little Rin telling his host family that Haru had eyes that look like the ocean in a platonic way because.... buddy
God I love Rin’s Australian family they’re so sweet and understanding
Ddfalsfjdskljf EXPLAIN THIS!!!
Russell: So mate, got a girlfriend back home?
Rin: Eummm, long story, or not actually [awkward laughter]
BED SHARING TROPES OH MY GOD!! THEY ARE LEANING INTO THIS PSEUDO-ROMCOM ANGLE EXCEPT THEY’VE BOTH GOT OTHER DUDES IN THEIR LIVES LMAO WHAT WOULD MAKOTO AND SOSUKE THINK
Rin and Haru don’t even wear the same style of swimsuit so lol @ Rin bringing a different suit across the world specifically to make Haru swim in it 
OMG HARU JUST DISCOVERED HIS DREAM I LOVE IT
Aw are Haru and Makoto going to end up separated bc of their different dreams because I’m gonna be very upset
I’m so touched by Makoto’s dream of helping children even if Makoto can’t fully be in the next season because it’s a Haru-centric show I still love him so much 4ever
Hahaha at them recapping the whole show I guess they didn’t know that there would be a third season
“C’mon you two, no more tears” what sweet sobbing boys you’re pulling at my heartstrings 
“We’ll always be a team” HECK YEAH YOU WILL
Yay for Rei getting his own swim hallucination!!!! That’s my boy
Maybe the real swimtervention was inside Haru’s heart all along  😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
THEY WON AND HARU’S CRYING HE’S FINALLY LEARNING TO EXPRESS FEELINGS 1000/10 WOULD RECOMMEND 
I knew Nitori would be captain but I’m still so happy for him!!! Baby!!!
“When you decide not to be done, I’ll be waiting” Rin has seen the most character growth of anyone on this show good for him!!
“Why you gotta say my name like that, it sounds weird” I keep telling you that is the sound of love, Harukaaaa <3
I LOVE EVERY PART OF THIS MONTAGE THE FLOWER PETALS THE “I’M IN COLLEGE NOW” GLASSES ON MAKOTO THE DREAMS COMING TRUE
WAIT ARE HARU AND MAKOTO GOING TO COLLEGE TOGETHER I LOVE IT 
I SAID IT BEFORE BUT YOU WIN THIS TIME, SPORTS ANIME. YOU GOT ME. YOU GOT ME REAL GOOD.

Ayesha Liveblogs Naruto Shippuden S20 (Pt. 3)
I wonder if going after Karin’s Tsukuyomi bulb was happenstance or whether Tobirama went “I smell an Uzumaki” and had at it
“Just be quiet for a bit” How dare you speak to your father this way Sasuke, Kakashi does nothing but love you
“EVERYONE WILL OWN A DOG. GO GET A DOG, HOKAGE’S DECREE!“ you’ve got my vote, Kiba
Mirai as a baby is an absolute unit and I love it
Shikamaru, getting down on one knee in front of Temari: Will you not marry me?
You know what. All these dreams are extremely realistic. I buy it. A teenage boy would totally dream about kicking his friends’ asses for fun even if he had the opportunity to do anything in the world. 10/10 believability 
Sai dreams about being told he has a nice smile and being twirled around by Naruto my boooooy 😭😭😭😭😭😭
“[My Sasori transformer] will be the guardian deity of the Sand” Kankuro pls
Omg Temari’s dream is so cute she wants her little brothers to need her
God the fact Gaara’s dream is about having a happy childhood PICK UP THE PHONE RASA I JUST NEED TO TALK
“Madara, don’t you dare talk about the Uchiha. The only one who has that right, is my big brother.” But he did... murder them, Sasuke. That is a thing that happened. My dear. My dude. He done did it.  
Having read Itachi Shinden none of this should be shocking but FUGAKU REALLY YOUR SON IS FOUR WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS
“Listen Itachi, never forget this sight” well he sure won’t now that you’ve given him CHILD PTSD FUGAKU
“We finally have peace, and we must do our best to maintain it” Hmmm.... must you, Fugaku? Is that a thing you must do?
“What is life, anyway?” Damn my existential dread didn’t kick in at least until I was in school, Itachi
Sasuke was such a weird-looking newborn I love him
I wonder how the English dub will deal with the mild implications of inc/est between Itachi and Izumi
Please Mikoto your son is like 6 why are you having him babysit
God I am so used to every version of Itachi having the voice of a grownass man that hearing a child-like voice even when he is 6 is almost off-putting lmao
Full offence Obito but why do you have to be such a little bitch
“Oh good, I knew that you’d be alright” HE’S 6 FUGAKU
Why is Naruto just sitting in a basket on top of his father’s grave??? Who let you do this? Hiruzen what is wrong with you??
“I’m glad that you didn’t die” an accurate representation of Itachi’s social skills at all ages
DFhsdjfhkdsjhfk I love that Itachi has accidentally become these kids’ leader 
AHHHHH I guess that’s Hana next to Itachi I wanna see the cat ninja and dog ninja fight 
“If the fighting can be stopped, I’d like to stop it” Shisui <3 
Itachi’s sweet tooth is so goddamn cute ahhhh what a little nerd
Hhgfkhjfhl SASUKE’S PAW ENCYCLOPEDIA THE PREQUEL THIS IS WHAT I NEVER KNEW I NEEDED
“I mean, [ladies] are clueless” “How dare you insult my woman” Turns out the alcohol this cat was drinking was Respect Women Juice
God I love Minazuki-sensei he’s such a mess
“No they blew away in the wind” guess Itachi hasn’t picked up his snitching tendencies yet lmao
Baby Sasuke has acquired a younger voice too I guess. It is real late in the game to be establishing these lmao
Obito. I’m. Stop???? Please. Is this how Kakashi felt during the war
God I love Shisui the tiny ninja detective they really have left off some of the cooler aspects of being a shinobi in all the wild and flashy jutsu like during the Land of Waves arc when Kakashi kept noticing relatively mundane clues
“Shisui picked up on how I felt right from the beginning” welcome to empathy Itachi
“I’ll hand this intel over to Lord Hokage, and he will deliver a just and fair judgment” I like this ANBU vs. ROOT dichotomy but bold of you to assume Hiruzen won’t ultimately let Danzo do whatever he wants lol
Damn what the shit how does Shisui know who the foundation already isn’t he like 12 
The animation of this arc is nice but also so weird they really did make Itachi and Shisui’s eyes like half of their face
These wholeass adults getting between by two prepubescents lmao 
“A teleportation jutsu has no mass” wait WHAT I have so many questions Shisui what does that MEAN 
“I want to you to think of me as your older brother” HELL YEAH HE DOES
Ffgdfkghkjh what an abrupt voice change between age 8 and 11 Itachi
How many times have they animated these same goddamn Itachi scenes 
Holy shit it’s like they tried to tell the story of the Itachi Shinden novels and then got bored halfway through gfkhgfkhgkjh
“I’m exhaAAAUsted from my mission” Itachi pls why say it like that
“You have the Mangekyo as well?” Fugaku had a friend???? Unrealistic. Blocked
THEY KIDNAPPED NARUTO??? I DON’T REMEMBER THIS IN ITACHI SHINDEN
Genjutsu but I don’t remember that either ?!?!?! Doesn’t Fugaku spend all of Itachi Shinden being emotionally distant and sending Itachi mixed moral messages
Who is the Fugaku hater on this storyboard staff lmao I’m crying
I have a lot of thoughts about this art direction honestly why is everything in the shadows why are the character models so weird why is Itachi suddenly outside in the lightning for his murder discussion meeting instead of inside the council room if you had to shout over lightning people could hear you 
“I challenge you to the high jump” “You’re no match for me” Sasuke you’re the most obnoxious seven-year-old in the world I love it
“There’s something that I’d like you to help me with” a very casual opener when you’re proposing the murder of your entire clan but okay
They really leaned into the horror movie aesthetic huh fair enough 
I have some objections to register about Izumi’s death like both options are weird but at least in Itachi Shinden she wasn’t humiliated by Obito begging for Itachi to save her she had a degree of awareness and it was an impactful if strange scene
FUCK THE TOBI VOICE I KNEW IT WAS COMING BUT I’M WHEEZING
Cute new ED but also the idea of Tobirama giving anyone a fistbump amuses me immensely 
“Who would’ve thought that that scuzzy bearded jerk would’ve been able to use a taijutsu like that” RUDE but also ‘scuzzy’ jhfjghkjhfgj
Omg that’s so funny they literally gave the former owner of Zabuza’s blade the same voice
This doesn’t make any fucking sense how could Juzo have the executioner’s blade when Zabuza would be like 21 when Itachi was 13 oh my god 
“The Hidden Mist doesn’t keep any prisoners” unsurprising but interesting
Is this meant to imply that Juzo is killed and then Zabuza immediately finds the sword and starts a coup because that’s hilarious
Wait how does them fighting the Mizukage make any sense isn’t Yagura under Obito’s control lmao who wrote this
Did Itachi just.... accidentally cripple the Mizukage omg [Zabuza screams in the distance]
Hahahaha I know it’s supposed to be evil but it’s really funny that Kakuzu killed his partner for being too slow
“I wouldn’t know how to cater to your moods” kjfhgkdhfgjh Kakuzu just got wrecked by a thirteen-year-old LMAO 
“I’m not sure what to do with you... whether to kill you right now or find a way to use you” KILL OROCHIMARU, ITACHI, IT’S GONNA SAVE YOU A LOT OF TROUBLE 
Why the hell would Kabuto be hanging out near the Akatsuki anyway isn’t he in a long term infiltration of the Leaf Village lmao or can Orochimaru summon him like a snake
On what basis does Pain decide these partnerships did Kisame and Sasori take a babysitting course or smth
The cutaway without the “This... is art” scene is almost funnier because it implies Itachi just had to flash his eyes at Deidara and Deidara was like, “HELLO AKATSUKI I AM HERE”
“I wouldn’t mind giving you a taste of my art” [insert ninja sex joke about Deidara’s mouth hands here]
Deidara really should not be old enough to be here by this point in the narrative but this entire arc has been wacky timeline wise
Man it must be fucked up to fight a puppet version of your own corpse
“What I really wanted... was to get a hold of Itachi’s body” you are the definition of stranger danger Orochimaru
From what I remember the video games had Kakuzu and Orochimaru approaching Hidan and not Konan and Itachi but I’m game for any Orochimaru erasure lmao
 I’m pretty sure all of that blood was Hidan’s?? World-building whomst
“He licked Kakuzu’s blood” did he though?? Show me his wound Itachi
OMG they’re really heavy-handed with Leaf!Itachi as if we did not just watch a bunch of episodes of Itachi caring about his village like honestly look at this:
Kisame: So even you have feelings for your birthplace, is that it?
Itachi: No. Not at all. [Sasuke, I hope that you’re safe.] 
(Me too Itachi 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭)
“It’s been a long time... Saaasuke” could you say his name a little less weirdly please Itachi
You really can’t get mad at Kakashi for teaching Sasuke chidori Itachi like maybe if you would murder less people Kakashi would feel a little less overprotective
God was the only point of animating and voicing these scenes again so that Itachi could mentally apologize every twelve seconds? You know what fair enough, anxiety and depression be like that sometimes
“You still have people who’ll protect you” Oh plot twist Itachi was actually writing a “Nice” list instead of a “Naughty” list and Kakashi, Jiraiya and Naruto are all on it
Oh yeah I kind of forgot that this was all supposed to be like a 5 minute span for Sasuke’s flashback of Itachi’s entire life lmao
You know.... it’s real unclear to me how Obito wakes up from his trance lmao he may not be in a cocoon but he’s certainly exposed to the light
“Be careful. We’re surrounded on all sides by four of his shadows” “Yeah I know that” Yeah, Naruto knows it, but Sasuke’s warning where the Shadow Madaras are entirely for Kakashi and Sakura’s benefit BC HE WORRIES MY BABY BOYYYY
“This chakra is even way stronger than Ten-Tails” I really heard “Tenten” there and I was like, wait what did I miss with Tenten kfhkjhgkjhg
OH GOOD ANOTHER UCHIHA FLESH MOUNTAIN JUST WHAT WE NEEDED
“They’re turned into White Zetsu” I hate this nonsensical bit of world-building it made more sense and felt less weird when they were Hashirama clones like what the fuck
Oh I can’t believe this is making me feel almost bad for Madara did Zetsu really edit the Uchiha Stone Tablet’s Tsukuyomi section to say “Peace Plans” ain’t that how like the CIA entraps people 
“Hashirama... where did I go wrong” We’d need a lot more time than you have to unpack that Madara
“Countless nights passed” I mean. Was it countless nights. Because I think it was. A couple hours. This war arc spans like two days. I have spent more human hours on this arc than they’ve spent ninja hours in this war
“I can’t believe such a person existed” neither can I Sasuke it’s almost like she was invented specifically for this arc
For real Obito no offence but like why aren’t you dead it just doesn’t make much sense khkjfdhkjhgkjh
Hmmm not 2 be that gal but Kaguya’s voice is v pleasant on the ears 
“Sorry to be so rough with you, Obito” Kakashi. You loving, kind, dumb bitch. He stabbed you THREE TIMES in the past two days you really owe him like -1000 apologies
“This is also one of those times where your body just moves on its own” SASUKE CALLED OUT FOR LOVING HIS COMRADES
“I’ve got to get to Naruto” I love your dedication Minato but I feel as though the loss of both of your arms makes helping more difficult
Kakashi is not NEARLY as surprised about this levitation thing as he should be. I think as this point he’s just like. ‘This might as well happen’
All other things aside Kaguya’s really fun to look at damn
Okay okay okay not to look for too much logic in this ninja show but don’t both Naruto and Sasuke have Six Paths chakra why can only Naruto float is a metaphor for Sasuke’s fall from grace
“I am Kaguya’s child” I can only imagine a Game of Thrones-eque shadow flying out the hooha situation
“Just before the seal took hold, she gave birth to me, in order that she could be restored” I can only assume Kaguya fucked Bitterness and Regret and you know.... fair enough
I gotta tell you Zetsu being the primary narrator of this arc is jarring
Tenji seems kinda nice it’s a shame something terrible will probably happen to him
Say what you will about SP’s animation inconsistencies they can animate some beautiful-ass skies
“Is there anything that you desire” Get u a man like Tenji
Fellas is it gay to sit under the stars with your handmaiden who adores you in comfortable silence
“Even now you’re not scared. That just makes me like you more” take a shot every time a man is Like That (bah dum tss) 
“Do Not Touch Me,” wow Kaguya mood
I will clarify I said that BEFORE she exploded the men gkhkjfhgkhh
Tenji, that Aino lady is your subordinate are you really gonna leave her with the creepy That man u are not the man I thought you were
“Just tell him, and I’m sure that Lord Tenji will forgive you” to be fair Aino you could’ve elaborated u were just like ‘yup she killed them’ and left it at that
WOW I RESCIND ALL COMPLIMENTS TO TENJI CALM DOWN DUDE
When life gives u lemons use people as fertilizer for ur infinite lemon tree I guess
Are you telling me 1) Gamamaru has existed since the DAWN OF CHAKRA and 2) He knew all about this Tsukuyomi shit just like. Kept it on the DL. WHAT KINDA WORLD-BUILDING
Okay but for real did the Otsutsuki clan stem like.... all the clans, because there’s the Kaguya clan (through Hamura I guess?), and the Hyuga clan definitely through Hamura, and then the Senju, Uchiha, and Uzumaki through Hagoromo like just how many people did your kids sleep with and for that matter how long ago was this
“A real talking toad! Think people would like it if we caught it and took it home?” Why are Hagoromo and Hamura the cutest things in the world this is the sibling content we deserve
“You’re just a snake oil salesman, and not a very good one” oh I think I love Hamura oh no I would love a character who gets stuck on the moon 
Take a shot every time a woman exists to die and make a man sad 
“She fell in love with the ruler of this land and in time she became pregnant with the two of you” notice that at no point does Gamamaru say they got married can u believe Kaguya invented premarital sex
You know none of this goes against mine and Sloane’s Kagumo theory
“How can you see so far into a toad’s heart that clearly” Gamamaru and Hagoromo’s interactions are killing me
How much time has passed for Hamura’s hair to grow that long
Hamura @ Kaguya: BROTHERS BEFORE MOTHERS
HOW MUCH TIME HAS PASSED FOR HAGOROMO TO DEVELOP THIS BROW RIDGE SAGE LAND TAKES A TOLL 
Tenji doesn’t even appear in this flashback about love and betrayal it’s just Kaguya being bitter bc her gal Aino died they were in lesbians together
Every so often I’m reminded that Kishimoto has a twin brother and I wonder what he thinks about making the twins fight
“You enabled me to awaken the mangekyo sharingan and rinnegan” how do u even have words for those things. Didn’t they just happen right this moment
Wow this is all very Little Shop of Horrors, Momma feeds the tree with people juice and in turn it wants to protect her from harm
“I split the Ten Tails into nine souls” SOULS? HAGOROMO CAN... JUST MAKE SOULS. COULD HE POINT AT GAMAMARU AND SAY “YOU ARE TWO FROGS NOW” AND THAT’D JUST BE TRUE?
“We won’t be that far apart,” said Hagoromo, just as his brother was about to teleport to the moon
Side note: Maybe ur crops were failing bc without the moon the tides are all out of whack and you know, the moon was apparently just invented right now
“Time passed, and so did Hagoromo” I love this particular literary device
“Time after time I’d approach the reincarnates of Indra and Ashura” okay so we’re supposed to be down for not only regular reincarnation in Naruto but Indra and Ashura ONLY BEING BORN TO THE SENJU AND UCHIHA CLANS REPEATEDLY WHAT WHO WROTE THIS
Does this mean that people Naruto and Sasuke every 50 years????You’d think the Land of Fire would just. Get used to it
“Just with that alone, a thousands years passed” well at least we have some idea of how much time it’s been since Kaguya era lmao 
Ur telling me that this horseshit happened bc Tobirama doesn’t know to leave dead bodies well enough alone
SHHHHH I PREFER THE ZETSU BEING WEIRD HASHIRAMA CLONES
This montage of Zetsu taking credit for everything Madara and Obito did is not appreciated lmao take some responsibility for your actions!!!!
I’m gonna keep harping on this for the rest of the war honestly like where is the ACCOUNTABILITY
“So your teen rebellion continues” LMAO UR NOT WRONG
“I know that this could be our last hurrah, but we gotta give it our best shot” not much of a plan Naruto sweetheart but fair
Tag urself I’m Kakashi’s look of despair at his hormonal students
“And Sasuke? Sorry that my sexy jutsu didn’t work” I was not prepared for the sincerity with which that line was delivered
The Sad Old Man™ energy radiating off Obito is... Immense 
“We’re all ready to die” R U THINKING OF RIN BC SHE WAS READY TO DIE OR BC UR READY TO SEE HER EITHER WAY IT’S SAD KAKASHI
“I want to thank you for helping me out. And for helping Sasuke” “No, there’s no need to thank me” this is the first time Obito has been right about something since the age of 13
“I’m not going to waste time on speeches,” said Obito, in the middle of a dramatic speech 
Minato..... how did you chop the branch.... with no hands to pick up a kunai???????? What kind of yoga contortion was involved
What I imagine the subtext of this scene to be:
Hagoromo: New old son!!!! I am dad now
Hashirama, whose dad was Butsuma: [choking back tears] Okay
Tobirama: I also hate our father
They’re all taking to this “demi-god pops out of the bottom half of dead ex-comrade” thing pretty well but to be fair they’ve had a complicated day

Ayesha Liveblogs Class Action Park
“Gene was effectively kicked off of Wall street. So he did what anybody in this situation would do... buy up two ski resorts in Vernon, New Jersey.” That’s how I deal with all my career-related angst 
“Gene turned to his old buddy Bob Brennan, always there to find cash or investors any time Gene had a wild new idea” bdjdjjfkdbf find u a friend like Bob, I guess?
“Who we got? How about these teenage employees” oh NOOO
If your employer makes you call him Uncle maybe that’s a warning sign 
Gene giving his teen employees $100 every time he puts their lives in unparalleled danger has a similar energy as my dad giving me $5 when I was sad but 150 million times worse 
Tumblr media
You know, if they had advertised the slide as a slide that could bite you like a shark, they might’ve been able to play off the teeth thing in their stride (in any case Slidey McBitey did not slow them down?)
“You couldn’t go down the canonball loop if you were too small, you couldn’t go down if you were too big” the Goldilocks of Dangerous Water Park Features
The way that everyone in this documentary says ‘water’ as ‘worder’ is very Jersey
I mean it absolutely doesn’t surprise me that there were no engineers involved in this but wow that’s a choice
The animations in this documentary in place of stock footage are truly on another level:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The accompanying dialogue to these images: People who Six Flags or Disney wanted nothing to do with; these guys would literally track Gene down at amusement industry conventions. You can tell these guys went and did bumps of coke and went just [unintelligentible] fuckin’ let’s just drill a slide right in the fuckin’ middle of the mountain and it’ll shoot ‘em 20 feet in the fuckin’ air--
“It was not fit for a safe ride by the average person in public” you don’t say, Bob Krauhlik, Head Lifeguard
I mean those like... bubbles for people to roll around in exist? Why couldn’t Gene have invested money in developing those in the seventies and just had people go down a very slight hill? Must EVERYTHING in this park be a deathtrap
The fact the Ball Man (presumably) survived the ride collapse, the freeway, and falling into a swamp,,, invincible
Tumblr media
“We started sending employees off of [the airborne slide]” These guys really needed a union
“He’s gone on to lead a normal life” jhfkjhkjf the disclaimer
Honestly a built-in bidet/lota situation in a water slide doesn’t sound bad
Gene fulfilling my lifelong dream to get to lay on the baggage rollers at an airport
“The Aqua Skoot was also home to a thriving bee nest” I hope the bees were okay!!
“You’re probably concussed, and you have like a hundred and fifty people from New Jersey just being like ‘Pussy! You fuckin’ bitch!” this sounds in line with everything I know about New Jersey
“No lifeguard every blew a whistle and was like, ‘Hey stop chanting the word ‘pussy’ at this injured, bleeding person’“ I would pay money to see any lifeguard I know say that
Bob Krauhlik said: The first rule of Action Park is we don’t talk about our suppressed traumatic memories of Action Park
“Just literally imagine teenagers you know right now opening an amusement park” As someone who knows MANY teenagers this scenario sounds terrifying
“I was a good girl, so I wasn’t really involved in much of the shenanigans that took place” if u say so Faith
“I may have attended one [party]” HA I knew it 
This cattleprod story reminds me in a horrible way of a Paris Metro authority memory but long story short people will try to attack you physically if they think u cheated a $3 ticket; capitalism warps the brain
“But if we’re so bad, why don’t they just make a new town?” I’ve never heard a whiter sentence in my life
“He was a cool dude” [cut to] “I think he was a piece of shit” POETIC CINEMA
Gene annoying the state of New Jersey into relinquishing their land... incredible 
“Gene was free from the pesky state of New Jersey” is that what it says on the sign when you cross state lines into Pennsylvania 
“It might’ve attracted a more, say, working class clientele” ah the water park class divide
I don’t know what kind of mindset for just bodily-functioning all over the pool but I hope I never reach that point 
You really should need a sobriety test to operate anything motorized I think they could’ve made thousands on a Go-Kart breathalyzer
“It had a top speed of over 60 miles an hour, it was worth it” said Ed the Park Operations Manager, about driving a go-kart on the highway
“Action Park had full-on, Miami Vice-grade speed boats, where riders regularly tempted fate by treating them like bumper boats, a common action, that would send many a guest tumbling into a pond murky from leaked gas and oil, and known by employees to be infested with snakes” Somehow that sentence got worse and worse with time
The guy who literally crushed another person with his boat and then moved to the next ride: I pretend I did not do it
“He wound up getting getting ejected from the park” they said, about a person literally attempting to set other patrons on fire:
Tumblr media
Bob the Lifeguard really speaks with way too much fondness in his voice of trying to throw carts on top of people sliding down a fibreglass and concrete slide
“On an an average day, you would have 50 to 100 people injured” the 80s were a lawless time 
“Gene Mulvihill had a vision of a place where there were no rules - something between Ayn Rand and Lord of the Flies” strike that this is the whitest sentence I’ve ever heard
HAHAHAHA I can’t believe the lawyer is now explaining Action Park with the argument that the 80s were a lawless time
“[D*nald Tr*mp] realized it was too wild, too nuts even for him” kjghkgjhkg this comment aged poorly 
The audacity of this man to blatantly exhaust everyone into submission
Kayaks did nothing to deserve being associated with electrocuting water park attendees 
Every time I think this documentary can’t get worse they introduce a new concept like The Death Zone at the Grave Pool 
“They expected to drown at the Action Park Wave Pool“ DID THEY, BOB? DID THEY REALLY?
“Nobody should ever be the second person to die in a wave pool, you know why? ‘Cause after the first person dies in a wave pool, close the fuckin’ wave pool!” Chris the Comedian has summed up this entire documentary in two sentences 
This documentary has intentionally saved the worst for last this whole interview with the family of the (first) deceased is deeply upsetting 
The Wave Pool death happened a week before the Kayak death??? THEY DIDN’T EVEN CLOSE FOR A WEEK???????
“Its time came and went” IS THERE EVER A TIME FOR A WATERPARK WHICH KILLS MULTIPLE PEOPLE 
Weird that the woman whom Gene got fired from her job and who deposed him became his friend
“Was he a villain or a victor” I think that’s a false dichotomy you can be victorious at villainy 
“The spirit of Action Park lives on today in the Fyre Festival” Correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t remember Fyre Fest killing anyone
“Fyre Festival’s bullshit, man. Gene gave you everything he fuckin’ promised you” grievous injury???
There’s also something weirdly poetic about the name of the park going back and forth from Mountain Creek to Action Park and vice versa every few years 
I’m gonna leave off with this not: Not a single visible minority was interviewed for this documentary as a park attendee or employee and while that’s probably more a product of selection bias and New Jersey it’s also all the argument you need for diversity in any field. Diversity of thought and culture does not a loop-de-loop-death trap make

Ayesha Liveblogs Boruto Ep. 127
“Dad had a Master?” “Of course. He was a great man, and his name was Master Jiraiya” Gkjgkhkg how does Boruto not know who his dad’s teachers were. They���re all incredibly well-known in Konoha 
Also Hinata said ‘Kakashi and Yamato whomst?’ We only acknowledge weirdos in this house
Maybe I should give Boruto a chance tho this intro does look very Shonen Slife of Life which is exactly my jam
“That’s Uncle Neji right?” 😭😭😭😭😭😭 LET NEJI BE AN OJI-SAN 2K19
“He was my cousin. But to me, he was like a kind and strong older brother” 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 HINATAAAAAAAA
Does Boruto not know.... Sasuke was a rogue ninja..... OH MY GOD
Boruto really has no qualms about monopolizing Sasuke during his limited time in the village. 12 year old boy culture
Who on EARTH told Sarada that Sasuke used Make-Out Tactics as a reference point for parental bonding. I can’t imagine it was Kakashi. So was it Sasuke??? Sakura??? Uchihas pls 
“It’s Kakashi-sensei’s favourite book, I’m sure it will be useful” Sarada respects her grandpa so much but in this case he doesn’t deserve it lmao
I really forgot that Kiba is now a Ninja Cop until this moment. Somewhere Sasuke and his ancestors are crying 
“Unlike me, [Jiraiya] wasn’t Hokage material” never give up Kiba 
Fhkjhfkjhf how long has Kiba been sitting on this long-winded make-believe story about him turning down the Hokage seat. And to Naruto’s own son!!! The mullet has really changed you Kiba
I appreciate that all the adults in Boruto keep Jiraiya’s books away from the kids when that is not a courtesy that was ever extended to Naruto in his youth hjgkhkgh
Apparently Choji has a rival now? Discount Gai and Lee: Eating Competition Edition. Can’t say I saw that one coming but ok
Side note: I want Sarada to have a rival!!!!!! I’m willing to bet Shikadai is Boruto’s rival, but idk if Sarada has one. Sasuke AND Sakura BOTH had their own rivals at this age. She has the rival gene!! Let her thrive!!!!!!!!!
Choji coming in with the parental lock on this bookstand. Good job lol
To that same storyboard artist who never wants Sasuke to eat with his family: I know Kishimoto hurt u but Sasuke can eat with Naruto too. Discover bisexuality 
Fhjkhfhkfjhf Boruto was like ‘You’re MY new dad Mr. Sasuke!!’ And Sasuke was like, ‘No. Pupil-zoned.’
“Don’t tell me you got lost and were late for the photo?” “I guess you could say that.” AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW SASUKE U LOVE THE HIDDEN LEAF MY BOOOOOOOOOOOOOYYYYYYYY
It’s funny that everyone keeps referencing Kakashi in this episode but no one asks him for the book directly. Where is he? Off somewhere being gay and free I hope
All this heavy-handed set-up for this sealed up relic in the ocean truly reads like a fanfiction lmao
KHGKHGKJH I honestly might need to watch this time travel arc. I can’t wait for Boruto to find out his dad was in love with Sakura (and also Sasuke) and that every adult in this village was born a dumbass. It’s going to be fantastic

Ayesha Liveblogs Fairy Tail: Dragon Cry
Natsu!!! Such a tiny baby he’s really just a 90% head
Classic Fairy Tail lmao dropping us right in the middle of a mess I love it
I assume this is set pre Magic Council Disaster I really have like 3000 questions about the Fiore government
“I think you may need glasses” Lucy’s been #called out for Plue not being a real dog lmao
Someone spare Wendy from these unnecessarily intimate teens 
My sweet gentle snowman Gray Fullbuster clearing my skin and saving my crops 
“It’s been a while since we visited Crocus, eh?” said Gray, about an incident during which he literally died
“I’m furthering my education over here man!” character development Gajeel
Jesus Christ I’m glad Juvia’s ridiculous fantasy about Wendy being her competition was at least PG as hell but hard pass thanks 
“Juvia please hold me” On the other hand, I will take her Levy fantasy 10/10 nice 
If they’re acknowledging Ishgar I have at least 10 more questions about the chronology of this movie is it post-manga or???
“Don’t worry about it, Lucy, you look great up there” if they don’t want me to ship Graylu they need to stop doing this
God I almost forgot for 13 whole minutes how obsessed Hiro Mashima is with boobs.... simpler times 
At least for once the boobs are serving a purpose I love my scheming babies coordinating their covert attacks 
“I hope they’re not taking the same job we are” isn’t that what the mission board is for?
Wendy being Natsu’s little dragon sister is super cute 
You’d really think if they were housing the magical equivalent of a nuclear bomb there’d be a more effective security system 
“I’m the guy telling you there’s no smoking backstage” wrong Gray ur all smokin’ ayyyyyyyyyyy
Also who the hell thought to trust Natsu with an infiltration mission cripes
I LOVE that everyone’s got a blushy face in this it improves their aesthetic so much
It ain’t Team Natsu without both Gray and Lucy half-naked lmao 
“So you’re the kind of girl who steals things” but mostly hearts, Evil Dude
“The people here are creepy, I’ll teach them to glare at me” Natsu was so ready to kick every single townsfolk’s ass lmao my boy is truly chaotic neutral
I already don’t like Sonia and this lord’s relationship and they’ve only been on screen together for like 10 seconds 
“My Graydar is starting to pick up an extremely strong signal” good lord 
I don’t know what’s funnier when Gray is outraged that he’s naked or when he’s just like “eh”
In fairness to the villains, doesn’t seem like they made much effort to hide 
Why does this angry zooming villain boy look like the lovechild of Natsu and Acnologia 
“Please Natsu, stop” as anime strategies go, fair, but u oughta move Lucy
Every ten seconds I have to stop to be enamored with Gray Fullbuster
“King Animus” Mystogan, shouting from space ‘Animaaaaaaaa’
But where..... did Gray get those clothes???? Does Erza stock up on spare outfits for him or??? 
Oh my god does this dude literally have a group of captive women he tortures I hate it this is the worst if he doesn’t die I’ll murder him
Thank you Natsu for preemptively interrupting this gross scene 
“We’re not good at being inconspicuous,” said Erza, in what might be the understatement of the century
Not 2 be that guy but the titty shots of Lucy sort of take away from the severity of this plot exposition I hope someone gives her some real clothes
“Then we gotta sleep in shifts” a surprisingly sensible suggestion, Natsu
Omg Natsu’s showing her the stars what a sweet dragon boy
“I don’t know, we literally haven’t done anything!” Fairy Tail has always done something and u know it Gajeel
I can’t believe she’s just... the Leg Wizard.... like... who named these characters???? 
“Did you find me using your Juviadar, my love?” “HELL no!” [Hiro Mashima voice] requited love
So Carla’s change in form definitely means that this is set post-Fairy disbandment at least, but I’m willing to bet it’s post-manga too, all things considered 
Wendy using dragon force and Lucy going to free these captive ladies that’s my girls!!!
I really thought the lady wizard captain was going to be more involved in this story based on her character design and introduction
They didn’t even bother to deal with the question of where Lucy’s keys were when she was captured what kinda storyboarding 
Omg at Lucy’s Capricorn outfit she’s finally the dom that Virgo’s always wanted her to be 
None Can Defeat... The Power of.... The Leg
“What in the hell, this is his city” Gray questioning the movie’s internal logic 
Gray Fullbuster’s truest magical power: His Stunning Dick 
I’m loving everyone pulling out their coolest magical powers like yassss show off your years of training my beautiful and competent wizards
“Your kicks are lovely [...]” I’m not sure what I’m more pleased about how gay this battle just got or the fact that ERZA IS USING JELLAL’S CELESTIAL MAGIC (definitely that one I LOVE IT) 
Holy fucking plot twist this is the kind of villain I’m here for 
“If you must know, I’m Animus, and I’m the dragon soul that lives within Sonia” this is doubly funny because it’s Young Jellal’s VA like how many times will this same voice actor play a young idealist possessed by ancient evil good lord 
Whomst?? Does anyone who eats that fruit breathe fire or just Happy
Team Natsu, probably, every time another goddamn dragon appears from the distant past to fuck up the present: Getting real sick of this shit
I know Jellal’s not going to show up but I keep hoping he will where r u Erza’s garbage boyfriend 
This dragon makes a weirdly compelling antagonist 
“Your soul used to shine” this brings the whole childhood friends backstory into weird perspective huh
Should Natsu really be moving around that much after being impaled 
“You’re the destroyer of all... E. N.” “Who cares” Hard same Natsu??
Really the King of Fiore should stop keeping shit that can destroy the whole world in his basement clearly it’s very poorly guarded
“This is the first time I’ve seen your smile, it’s beautiful” you were?? In her body??? U were looking in the mirror in an earlier scene man 
Sometimes a family is a fuckton of impulsive wizards and some flying cats 
Ooh damn I guess they did have a time setting for this movie after all and it’s post-2014 anime but pre-everything that follows huh?

Ayesha Liveblogs Naruto Shippuden S18
“I put the entire burden on you Naruto” The Entire Burden is a nickname for Sasuke and I love it
Team 7 protecting each other while still making time to flirt is my aesthetic
In terms of actually using all three members in a cohesive unit Team 10 has by far the best teamwork in their year
Episodes since Tenzo has been missing: 117!!!! FREE HIM
Sakura doesn’t trust Sasuke and that’s good because she has no reason to do so
“I’m over it” said Kakashi for the first time in his life ever
Poor Minato he is being traumatized even in the afterlife 
“That was anticlimactic” amazing that even in times of war Sasuke still finds time to be a bitch
What is this out of continuity Frankenstein episode
I THOUGHT FOR A SECOND OROCHIMARU BUILT A FAKE SASUKE
Sasuke walks away from the village just like he walks away from his emotional issues
I can already tell this two episode arc is going to be very stupid but I love it because I miss Tenzo and Neji 
This doesn’t make any sense because Asuma died while Naruto was training to learn the Rasenshuriken so Ino, Choji and Shikamaru should living their most tragic lives atm
I liked it better when Orochimaru was making a fake Sasuke 
Naruto’s two dramatic dads coming to the rescue 
“Don’t worry, it’s okay. This is where Kakashi and I used to come to make out,” said the Gay Subtext 
I can’t believe they’re taking Akamaru but not Kiba kgjhkjdfhgdkfjhgkh KAKASHI HAS EIGHT DOGS OF HIS OWN
So Kiba is coming though this party seems a little large for this kind of mission lmao
I’m not sure what’s funnier that Kakashi is still reading Makeout Paradise or that he has finally stuffed his team members inside a box for their own protection
Me @ those horrified Hokage faces: ....Same
“Wait, who’s holding the front? No one’s theeeeere” KAKASHI PLS
If the Gaara handshake and Kakashi piggyback are the best two minutes of anime I’ve ever seen then this was definitely the worst two minutes the rainbow vomit and Neji’s fall from the sky I will never recover
Naruto’s heart eyes @ Gaara: SAME X2
I guess even Gaara is vulnerable to his Fifteen Year Old Boy Pride
“He was with me earlier but he ditched me” Orochimaru sounds like Sasuke’s bitter girlfriend
REVERSE SNAKE DIGESTION AND OROCHIMARU’S GIGGLE I HAVE NO WORDS
ITACHI PLEASE why would you be so highkey about protecting your brother literally his forehead said “Itachi” I’m livid and yet I’m also living 
Gaara the Hidden Leaf is burning to the ground what kinda priorities 
Filler Sakura is much more into Naruto than Canon Tragic Trashbag-Loving Sakura
I never thought I’d be eager to get back to tragedy and yet here we are
“That Sasuke... he’s bright” Sasuke gets the dad approval and Itachi gave Naruto the older brother approval so I’m not saying you’re supposed to get married but that’s exactly what I’m saying  
Well that’s gross Obito
“Time for my Raijin Flash Super Circle Dance Howl Stage 3″ WHO LETS MINATO NAME THINGS
QUIT TRYING TO SEVER THE PAST SASUKE ALL TEAM 7 WANTS TO DO IS LOVE YOU
“He’s just like a snake” Well this is a perfect time for Sasuke Uchiha, Snake Expert
Yikes @ Minato watching Obito being swallowed by his flesh prison
For about ten seconds I was rooting for Obito to live for Minato and Kakashi’s sake but surprise surprise he continues to be the wooooOooOrst
Every time Sasuke wraps Naruto protectively in his Susano my heart swells three sizes 
“Here, you can have this back” bless you Tobirama
Temari is so supportive she is Team Shikamaru all the way
“Smiling? Both of them?” Sakura is shocked to hear Sasuke remembers how to smile
Tobirama is increasingly embarrassed by the Namikaze clan nerds
Minato is taking the blame onto himself for all that became of his comrades just as Kakashi does, like sensei like student
KURAMA GIVING MINATO INSPIRATIONAL SPEECHES FROM WITHIN IS MY AESTHETIC
Tomorrow is Naruto’s birthday and also his parents’ deathday what a yikes life
Minato has saved everyone in the world even after his own death my Namikaze boys I love them so much
“What kind of child-rearing led to this?” Kakashi and Iruka’s lmao
This outro is literally Naruto and Sasuke running to each other on a beach at sunset bless this homoerotic animation studio
“I know you’re not an idiot” do u know that Tobirama 
The real question is who is worse at dealing with emotional intimacy Sasuke or Kurama
Are you honestly still bitter about Naruto’s success Sasuke come on dude learn to adjust
381 Episodes into the series and the Sage of Six Paths gets a name 
At this point there are going to be like 100 Shinobi left in the whole world
Shikamaru doesn’t deserve this 
Can I just say I’m glad Kakashi is in the intro? Because it gives me hope that he will not be Tenzo’d in this arc
“He seems to be in a foul mood” when is Sasuke not in a foul mood
IS EVERYONE ON THE BATTLEFIELD GOING TO EXPERIENCE NARUTO’S LOVE FOR SASUKE I’M SCREAMING
This is a pretty shitty way for Hiruzen to find out his son died
Everyone is pissed off and inspired by all the pain that Naruto has been through
Current list of Sasuke’s titles: Bitch, snake expert and Smart Boi
Fhfkgjhsjghsdkjgh Hashirama is the most beautiful person dead or alive:
Tobirama: We’ll assign the Tailed Beasts based on power balance but you’re required to pay
Hashirama: [whispers loudly] They’re not free?
Tobirama: Shut it!
“A Shinobi’s Dream” is 10/10, inspirational and beautiful episode I love it
“There’s no one more qualified than me to be Naruto’s advisor” I mean that was very poetic Shikamaru but Kakashi is at least equally adept if not more so
KAKASHI JUST SUTURED HIS OWN STAB WOUND THIS MAN IS TRULY MY DREAM
Hiruzen bossing Orochimaru around makes me happy in a weird way
My girl Sakura protecting the whole Shinobi world with her sensei 
KAKASHI COME SAVE YOUR CHILDREN THIS IS YOUR BAT SIGNAL
Sasuke keeps encouraging Naruto to keep fighting and coming back to his side it’s adorable
Kakashi’s babies are back together and he’s getting the live feed god bless
Obito’s dream of just being a ninja in the Leaf was very depressing
This must be Kakashi and Minato’s dream I’ve never seen so much teamwork at once
Kakashi and Obito with Team 7 vkcjbhkjvhbjk oh my goodness my feelings
Tiny heartthrob Kakashi is adorable and I love him
So the reason Kakashi got placed on Team Minato is because he couldn’t play well with others oh my rude little boy
Obito’s struggles being late to everything are #relatable
This is so funny though because when Kakashi’s babies went to the Chunin exam he literally brought Sasuke in like hours late
“A guy’s gotta have a scar or two get some cred” but how many scars must Kakashi’s heart endure Obito
Lmao @ Tsunade calling “hold” for Team Minato to deal with their Emotional Issues
In all fairness to Kakashi, Minato, he did his fair share of lecturing before you arrived
What is it with these boys and sitting atop each other for minutes at a time while reliving their memories together
“I’ve thought that this world is hell too” Minato gets to hear about the burden Kakashi has been carrying for twenty years
“So that’s where Madara is” you’d think the giant wooden dragon would also be a give-away
I’m very concerned about Gaara but I’m proud of him for making peace with Shukaku
I don't know if Hinata's voice actor changed or if she forgot how to do young Hinata or if I forgot how she sounds but something seems odd
My boy Neji!!! I miss him so much
Why are the Hyuga like this I need reformation #JusticeForNeji
Hanabi discovers that her sister is a peeping tom at the age of 5
The fact that sunset on the beach ending is accompanied by the lyrics “I shouldn't love you, no, no, no” as Naruto and Sasuke meet this is truly the Gay Agenda
So many Naruto episodes are just retelling Part 1 events through different perspectives lmao 
Hanabi WHY ARE YOU HAVING A FLASHBACK ABOUT SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED TEN SECONDS AGO
I have so many feelings about Neji and Hinata like he is her Excessively Pretentious Older Brother why is his life so sad!!!! Revive him and let him uncle her babies 
“I want to choose my own path without being influenced by anyone else” all of your memories are about how Hinata was being influenced by Naruto Hanabi but I understand your sentiment 
I know this is supposed to be a recounting of a very serious moment but I can't stop laughing about Kakashi's five hour straddle of Obito like sensei like student
“You just lie there, okay?” Kakashi is so gentle with the friend he was just trying to murder  
“What's that?” Hashirama should really be more fazed about being a face titty on his bff
Black Zetsu is such a dick Kakashi and Minato don't deserve this 
Madara: Family reunion?
Sasuke: How about I kill you instead
Madara: Why does everyone I invite keep saying this 
Real talk how does Madara even know what Sasuke's eyes look like if he HAS NO EYES CURRENTLY
This episode is called "The Hidden Heart" and I hope it's a joke about Madara's heart being hidden under his Hashirama face titty
In a way the Tailed Beasts are all like bickering siblings
Nothing livens up a party like auto-cannibalism
Kakashi, three seconds after declaring possible victory: I failed
Gaara and Shukaku's friendship means the world to me we've come so far my tiny murder child
FLY SAND BOY FLY LIKE THE WIND
Hashirama, after witnessing Madara kill literally thousands of people: Madara is fundamentally kind
Tobirama is already pinned down Madara now you're just being mean
“To be honest, I've been wanting to do this to you for a very long time now” Kinkshame Madara Uchiha
Tenzo's jutsu is strong enough to hold off the five Kage and I'm very emo about it
“He's using wood style... who is he?” I WONDER WHO IT COULD BE OF THE THE TWO WOOD STYLE USERS TO EVER EXIST IN THE UNIVERSE ONE OF WHOM IS DEAD
“I asked you what does it feel like to poo” Swirly still asking the tough questions over 17 years later
God bless Sakura shouting words of encouragement as she heals Naruto
Naruto and Sasuke vowed to die together and they are so hardcore committed both of their hearts stopped at the same time

Ayesha Liveblogs Fairy Tail S6
“I’m sure you both have more than cuddling in mind” Gray’s hotness is truly A Curse
“We can start as friends and see where that takes us” Lucy is also cursed with hotness she can’t go anywhere without being hit on
Gray makes dad jokes in front of girls who have been recently orphaned
How did no one find out about the underground passage when they were rebuilding the guild hall surely that’s relevant to its foundation
I guess Macao doesn’t get a say in who the next guild master is
Natsu, Gray and Lucy are 100% ready to murder anyone who makes Wendy cry
I don’t know what I was expecting from this season but Porlyusica the space dragon mom was not it
“It’s absolute hell,” said Warren, before everyone promptly ignored him
I can’t believe they crossed to the Spirit World to party
Gray giving Lucy a head rub while they’re covered in weird looking spirit dogs is my aesthetic 
These guys must be afraid to close their eyes now because every time they blink they lose weeks of their life
Ultear has such powerful thighs 
Jellal is free and he’s here for Justice and I love him
Dfghkdfjgkjghdk I love how much it matters to Jellal that he atones and I love how much Erza loves him
“I can’t - I have a fiance” WHAT THE FUCK 
Jellal you’re a liar you just wanted to avoid making out with Erza
The real question is why the image in the intro is Space Jellal is Earth Jellal going to pose as Mystogan because he’s probably busy ruling a kingdom and all 
Does Juvia not get a say in Lyon’s stupid guild-switching bet
I have some questions about how old these kids are if they were younger than Natsu but still raised by dragons 
Every time Gray and Lucy have a snarky aside I gain a year on my life
“This kind of stuff is Lucy’s specialty, let’s ask her” I love that Gray is such a good strategist but always yields to Lucy’s intelligence
Gray is failing at hiding because he can’t help but monologue
If they win, Laxus and Mirajane want servants, Gajeel wants a playboy bunny and Juvia straight up wants a sex slave
My poor stripper son he is trying so hard 
Murder her Lucy there is no tolerance for people who attack little girls
I’m so mad Lucy deserves so much better than these cheaters
“I couldn’t care less” me too Rogue
Lmao @ Ultear calling out Jellal for wanting to impress Erza
Everyone in the Fairy Tail stands probably: Erza your babies are going to be terrifying
Jellal laughing himself out the tournament was the greatest thing I’ve ever seen 
Ngl I completely loved Juvia’s fantasy about the mutual brooding
Jellal is so Extra does he have to sleep on top of a thirty foot wall outside
Natsu gets two points but ten points in my heart
“He caught me right in the feels man” same random crowd member
How come they can hear these two making a wager but they could not hear Flare threatening to kill a child 
If one more man makes a bet about what they can do to a woman if they win without the woman’s permission I s2g I’m gonna murder someone 
There’s corruption in the monarchy? Colour me unsurprised
The wedding dress pageant is an accurate portrayal of everyone’s relationships Lucy has a flirty relationship with Loke and Lisanna has a romantic history with Natsu but Lucy and Natsu are kind of crashing into each other in spite of all that
Suddenly everyone’s names are significantly more Japanese 
Lmao if Erza had informed anyone about her clandestine meeting then they’d probably think she was out all night banging ‘Mystogan’
The only way I could support Gray and Juvia is if he starts dating her out of spite to annoy Lyon and just keeps trying to annoy him until they’re married 
If this arc is teaching me anything it’s that I hate men and they’re terrible
“I know where she is... making kissies!” U RIGHT HAPPY
Leave Jellal alone he’s trying to be a better man and he just loves Erza a lot
“Jellal’s true feelings are a mystery to me” ARE THEY THOUGH
Yukino bursts into tears when anyone shows her the bare minimum level of kindness I feel you girl 
“She deserves a straight answer” Maybe Juvia should learn to read between the lines 
The magic of cutaways:
Sting: What kind of idiot would storm around here and start messing with our guild?
[Cuts to Natsu]
My baby boy fighting for the honour of strangers bless his heart
“Tell him, Gray,” said Lucy, with no concept of Gray’s fight-me metre at all
My garbage child showing a rare instance of self-restraint by not competing in front of the person who arrested him
“I choose to challenge all of them” SHE DID THAT
Jellal’s Erza senses are tingling and they’re telling him ‘the person I love is doing something ridiculous’ 
Doranbolt is crying omg he’s so proud of Fairy Tail
CANA DID THAT SHE BROKE IT SHE FAIRY GLITTERED THEIR ASSES
“We have a secret weapon” I’m 90% sure it’s Bob in there
Update: I was incorrect yikes
I theorize that Alexei is really Ivan purely by merit of the fact they’re both wearing fur-lined cloaks
Apparently it’s a fail-safe method of detection
Laxus joining the ‘would murder for Wendy’ squad
“Anyone who threatens them gets no mercy from me” LAXUS MY SON
Shelia being a vessel of Zeref is not what I was expecting
Fucking Jellal bumping into the one person in the crowd who might want to pursue him
“Their fists may be small, but their spirits are as big as the sky” I can’t tell if I want Jellal never to babysit or for him to adopt fifty children
“I consider Jellal a menace as well,” said Jellal, probably telling the truth
Poor Dreyar boys, completely incompetent with tears
I wish Levy would stop with the heavy ominous foreshadowing
Erza, Gray and Natsu are ten times more highkey about wanting to protect Lucy than they have been about any previous guild member
Lucy’s boys jumping to cradle her in their arms simultaneously was so beautiful even though I am very mad on her behalf
Gfdkgjlfjghlfh I can’t believe Hibiki is the first established character to make out with someone this season
“But didn’t you think of them as your parents too?” Natsu not everyone has good parents; see: Laxus
“Beating the crap out of my idol is pretty freaking sweet” someone get Sting in therapy
Friendship is everything in Fairy Tail except when Natsu wants to cut a bitch then Gajeel is literally shafted
Erza, smiling pleasantly: We survived defeat and humiliation
Lmao @ Jellal being able to tell if someone is a woman by their feet 
This is the most ominous way to end a season let alone a series why did they separate these two stories I’m concerned

Ayesha Liveblogs Magi: Adventure of Sinbad S1
Oh my god Sinbad’s birth is being sensed throughout the world 
I didn’t really realize that Hakuei was that much older than Sinbad (unless that’s her mum?)
“His name is Sinbad, Future Overlord of the Seven Seas” is that really how you described your newborn baby 
This man is taking sailing advice from his two-year-old 
“I can help out if you just let me try” what a sweet little boy I’m sure his life is about to go terribly awry 
I have bad vibes about this war-hero-turned-village outcast narrative it has historically ended sadly in everything else I’ve watched
“Why’s your hair yellow? That’s really weird!” Sinbad talks a lot of shit for a kid whose hair is purple
Holy yikes this narrative took quite a turn 
“We don’t want to get mixed up in your problems” why does nobody in this universe care about children like at all 
I’m actually glad that Badr stabbed him that dude deserved it  
“On your feet” He’s only got one foot I’m pretty sure 
“Please don’t open without permission” Ddfjhkjdhfkjh I love Yunan and his ridiculous cleavage 
Also what is it with Magi and hiding inside barrels of fruit??
The fact that Sinbad and his mum still take people in after they were betrayed my heart and soul <3 
@ Sinbad just ignoring all his problems until they come to punch him in the face.... same 
Dragul has Laxus’s voice and Freed’s gay ass aesthetic 
Yikes @ Yunan creating something called the Hole of Death you done fucked up you woodland twink
“I’m fairly certain my older brothers wouldn’t have had this kind of duty” “I’d watch what I say inside the castle walls if I were you” DRAGUL CAUGHT MONOLOGUING LMAO 
Maybe declare your treason after you’ve captured the dungeon Sinbad
“Once you’ve acquired the power of a dungeon, what will you become?” if the other series are to be believed: Devious
I gotta say that Dragul (Drakon?) had one of the best introductions I’ve ever seen 
“What the hell’s so bad about not wanting to die? It’s not embarrassing! It’s normal!” Baby Sinbad speaking the truth 
Lmao @ this montage of Drakon falling in love with Sinbad in the dungeon
No offense to Drakon but I don’t really care that much about his crush on his sister-in-law like Sinbad is trying to protect an entire kingdom of abused citizens 
“This is a gift, from me to you,” said Yunan, before throwing Sinbad through the air like a football
Damn I should’ve known that everything was about to get sad 
Fhlghjljhljhlfdjhl love this boy with a playful but antagonistic relationship with the nobility 
Jafar!!!! We’re finally gonna meet him as a baby (also the age of everyone makes it seem like Sinbad is a lot older than I thought he was like he’s 14 now and Alibaba’s probably just about to be born or a toddler)
Poor Hina he doesn’t have the heart to tell his sister that Sinbad took down the abare narwhal 
“I want to visit every country, so I can change the world” my boy <3 
“Kids like this one require discipline” I’m laughing at Sinbad trying to parent Jafar because he can’t be more than like 3-4 years younger than him lmao 
On a scale of Alibaba to Jafar how well do you deal with empathy 
I bet Jafar still screams “I’m gonna kill him someday” on a daily basis 
Ngl it took me googling a picture of the Eight Generals to realize where all of this friendship is headed 
“Don’t waste your time on a small fry” said the literal pre-teen Jafar
So what I’m gathering is that Jafar’s assassin tribe are a bunch of demons
That was quite literally a cheap shot Drakon 
Sinbad showing his devious side by tricking all the dungeon capturers into teamwork what an adorable sneak
“Sinbad’s passion has reawakened my own” that’s gay Hina 
I can’t believe that Sinbad has roused the rukh of every man in this room 
“Monster or human it doesn’t matter, they’re still comrades” SINBAD <3
Barbarossa: I don’t care about my wife but you’re not allowed to like her 
Omg @ Hina calling Sinbad tiny and fragile and “a truly amazing man” in the same sentence 
“If you don’t have a home, I’ll provide it for you” get u a friend like Sinbad
“If I were free, I would’ve made you my master” that’s gay Drakon 
I cannot believe that Drakon was the first person in the world to become a Household Member and he did it without even acknowledging that he and Sinbad were friends now that’s love 
Don’t give alcohol to Jafar, Sinbad, he’s a minor (and for that matter so are you?? What are the alcohol laws in this world)
I can’t believe that Jafar went from a Demonic Assassin to a Cute Little Merchant Boy in the span of one episode my god  
I have to say I’m 300% unsurprised they were immediately duped by the dude who wanted to buy their merchandise on the sly although judging based on his beard it’s Alibaba’s dad which is a weird introduction to the King of Balbaad 
Young Sinbad: I! Love! Merchants! #EmbraceCapitalism 
“You have a composed greed about you” what a backhanded compliment
Oh my god Harun’s got the same little hair floop as Alibaba!!!!!
I can’t decide whether I’m going to like Harun or not he does have a lot of impoverished people in his country after all but he is going to be friends with Sinbad and father to Alibaba
King Rashid’s living his wildest life just throwing bags of money at ambitious 14-year-olds 
“This will be your little brother” I can’t believe Hinahoho and Rurumu are Jafar’s parents
“Have fun playing with your big brother okay?” dghkjfhgkdjfhg I love Jafar and his freakishly large family 
I’m not sure what I love more Jafar becoming a Household Member to save his giant baby brother or Sinbad and his ridiculous bling
“Why not give some thought to publishing your adventure stories as a book?” that’s a little self-congratulatory but fair enough 
I’m super excited for the Land of Purity because I assume there’s going to be some jokes about Sinbad being a hoe
“There’s nobody in our kingdom like you” take a shot every time someone falls in love with Sinbad
I’m very concerned about what will happen to Mystras considering Spartos is the one who eventually joins up with Sinbad like what’s gonna happen to him why isn’t he a general
“I don’t really know who he is” “Well that’s a bummer. I’ve only been watching you this entire time” Yunan admitting to stalking Sinbad 
Seems like Knight-King Darius just brought magic to a sword fight 
Damn Sinbad’s had a wild few episodes he went from magic tricks in a theatre to a full djinn equip destroying mountains good lord
“I think I was just jealous of you” still no excuse for bad parenting Darius
I am deeply concerned for Mystras 
Jafar and Hinahoho’s faces every time Sinbad talks about ladies lmao 
“Men are only here for one thing and that’s to produce our offspring. How can I speak about diplomacy with such barbarians ” me too Queen Mira
“I’m different from other men” [Sinbad voice] I’m not like other girls 
OH NO ARE THEY KEEPING HINAHOHO BECAUSE THEY THINK HE’S STRONG AND VIRILE
Update from ten seconds later: Yes
“Those things that aren’t acceptable to be seen on screen” Jafar breaking the fourth wall for a dick joke 
I love that Sinbad’s noble selflessness lasted about ten seconds 
Jesus Christ what a little demon boy Jafar ripping apart a snake with his bare hands
How much time is passing Rurumu come collect your husband and your idiot boys you’ve got children to raise 
“Balalark Meat!” jghkfdjhgkjdfh Sinbad stop this 
“Women are such dependable goddesses” me too Artemyran man
What kind of Inuyasha ass equip is this these cat ears and fluffy tails
“I did nothing wrong. I did nothing wrong” OH NO HINAHOHO 
I’m real surprised they did not see the red-light district thing coming 
Oh my god Pisti being held by Sinbad was the cutest thing in the world I want him to take care of all the babies 
“By the way ladies, Mystras here is single” what a lad Sinbad is wingmanning his homie from the moment he arrives

Ayesha Liveblogs Magi: Kingdom of Magic
It’s been like a minute and already this show has escalated so much more than it’s predecessor good lord
What kind of an ominous note to start this peppy intro song on
“Tonight we shall celebrate that triumph” Sinbad loves any excuse for a feast
Lmao @ Jafar just lurking around waiting to let Ka Kaboun have it
“Jafar, have I become devious?” said Sinbad, after doing a series of devious things all in succession 
Oh my god Alibaba gave Kogyoku a flower crown that’s adorable 
“I never thought anyone would make a move on a woman before me. Aladdin, you are a true Magi” SINBAD PLS 
Take a shot every time someone pauses to relive tragic memories
I don’t want to accuse Sinbad of doing this on purpose but I kinda think he exposed Dunya to the dark magic on purpose 
OH MY GOD THEY’RE HAVING A SLEEPOVER I LOVE IT
I deeply appreciate Alibaba’s sleepwear and that he removes his earrings
“My, what a charming sight you are” Kogyoku’s a little crazy but I dig it 
Poor Jafar he is very concerned about Sinbad and I share the concern tbh
Oh no is Dunya dying iS THAT WHAT DAY OF DEPARTURE MEANS
“I wanted you to know all about it, about my true feelings” is this tragic backstory exchange also a romantic confession?
“I really envy you,” said Morgiana, immediately after Hakuryu told her that his entire family had been murdered
I don’t care who gets together with whom but I want one of these youths to take advantage of these romantic sunsets and flowers and fall in love like give me something to hope for in this society of imminent sadness 
Oh shit they’re both royals of low birth I love it!!! Bond my peeps 
“You must become my friend forever” I LOVE KOGYOKU AND ALIBABA
Yamuraiha is Aladdin’s mom now sorry I don’t make the rules 
OH MY GOD HAKURYU’S GOT PINK RUKH CAUSE HE’S IN LOVE!!!
Lmao @ Aladdin outing Hakuryu’s crush to everyone around them 
“I pray that you’ll have a good and safe journey” “Who are you?” Poor Spartos getting called out for his lack of screen time
IS ALIBABA GOING TO STOW AWAY I BET HE’S A STOWAWAY
Update from 10 seconds later: I KNEW IT
Poor Alibaba he was so set for his dramatic reveal but he fucked up
“But now that I’ve known him for a long time, there are a few odd things that I’ve noticed about him” Lmao they know he’s listening 
Alibaba do you really think they can’t hear you shouting in the room beside them
I think Hakuyru and Alibaba are going to become romantic/battle rivals 
“Next time I’ll do my part!” “Can you handle it?” boys pls 
Who is this twelve year old magical pirate with a cyclops baby
Pretty unfair to refer to the people who own the ship as “intruders”
Guess these punk ass kids chose the wrong ship to attack
“I’m a mother to all of the miserable children in this world” I bet she’s eating them or smth
As soon as they mentioned the cliffs I knew Morgiana would be tossing her boys into the air khgdjhjkdhgk
I fucking love when Morgiana goes wild and destroys everything 
Hard for Hakuryu to relate to all these parental memories when he grew up without any
Ohm Madura’s magical power: inducing mommy issues 
“That means that though physically they’re children, mentally they’re actually mature” poverty, slavery and abandonment will do that
Omg does this mean that Hakuryu is actually the least mature of all of these children poor guy
Update from next episode: “That one seems to be the only one among them that’s still a child” oh Hakuryu
Well I guess that answers the question of whether Hakuryu can djinn equip
Judging purely on the theme song Hakuryu is not going to become a main character and that makes me sad because I’ve grown attached to him
MY GOD HAKURYU CHILL THE FUCK OUT YOU JUST MURDERED A WOMAN IN FRONT OF A BUNCH OF CHILDREN
“My mission is to kill my own mother” what a trope reversal instead of a Dead Mom he’s got a Murder Mom 
“There’s no reason to grieve... after all none of you were ever loved in the first place” damn Hakuryu quit taking your issues out on the children
I did not think this romantic confession was coming on so quickly oh my 
“That’s why I want to marry you” you’re like seventeen get it together
Lmao @ Morgiana and Hakuryu kissing with their eyes wide open 
Take a shot every time Alibaba cries for his enemies I love him so much it’s like his philosophy is ‘if the mood is vengeful burst into tears’
“You’re different than King Sinbad... in what way I’m not sure” why do they keep alluding to Evil!Sinbad I’m not about this 
“Isn’t there any way to put your vengeance behind you and finally be free?” Damn so he’s not just Arabian Zuko he’s also Arabian Sasuke 
I want for Hakuryu to be happy but I can only imagine Morgiana is going to end up with Alibaba which isn’t bad it’s just sad for him
“Stamina is your only redeeming quality” how rude, Alibaba 
Sfhkdjhgfkjghfdkhg these flashes showing that Hakuryu is loyal af and Alibaba is a hoe are hilarious
Alibaba has no idea how to coordinate jewelry lmao 
Why is everyone from the Kou empire so goddamn crazy good lord 
Take a shot every time someone under the age of 15 witnesses a murder 
“I want you to mess me up too” Kinkshame Kouha’s consorts 
Me @ Aladdin collapsing after a single pull-up: .... same
Sphinctus: Pay! Attention! To! Me! 
ALADDIN FELL ASLEEP DURING SOMEONE’S TRAGIC BACKSTORY... TWICE
“Thank you... Instructor’s Boobs” what on earth is this show honestly
“When you guys first got here, you were just a bunch of ignorant losers. But not anymore... Today, you guys are self-aware losers” ..... same
Alibaba just fucking ends up passed out in the streets when left to his own devices my darling disaster
This fight is lit I love my boy battling in the middle of a casino lmao 
Is this meant to imply that Cassim bestowed his magoi onto Alibaba as he died like what kind of loyalty does this boy inspire 10/10 world’s Best Boy
Why are all these people so messed up there’s a death chant like every few episodes
“Are you alright?” he said, after watching Alibaba almost die several times and not doing a damn thing
I can’t wait for Alibaba to take back Balbaad 
Morgianna should really have more questions about the mysterious all-knowing stranger in the cave willing to take her on a one-way trip across the void
So I take it that these past six months have not gone well for Hakuryu
“there can only be one ruler, not just for this country, but for the world” like a minute of screen time and Kouen’s already talking world domination
“From father to son just like that” this family circle is way too close these kids are siblings and also cousins now the mom seems to be hitting on her son it’s all very yikes
Is Hakuyru seriously supporting his mom’s bid for the throne just so he can depose her what a mess 
I’m loving all of Hakuryu’s dramatic actions being accompanied by lightning
This dude looks almost exactly like Sheherazade how many magi are at this school exactly
“[...] Will be granted the honour of second-class citizenship” oh Aladdin
“You and I are cut from the same cloth that’s a very special thing” okay Anime Malfoy I wonder how this exchange with the equality-minded protagonist is going to go 
“I thought for sure you were a girl under there” I’ll admit it, that’s not how I thought this exchange was going to go
Whoops I guess when you’re dependent on a thin piece of cloth to hide your biggest secret things might not go in your favour during battles
“One of the four magis who is not supposed to exist” wait what homie 
“The magi and I have reached an accord” Titus has known Aladdin’s secret for one (1) night and already he’s dropping it in casual conversation 
“Back home the engine that drives industry is the accepted use of forced labour” these call-outs are near constant 
Titus highkey adores cats and babies and I appreciate it 
Omg Titus just called his employer just to tell her about his amazing day meowing at cats I love him
Damn I should’ve known something like this would be going on I was sort of just expecting run of the mill corruption and abuse not using-people’s-lifeforce-to-power-their-lifestyles 
“Oh yes, yes it would” Titus has known this girl for five minutes and he’s already ready to adopt her
Titus decided to liberate 200,000 people from enslavement even though his mission is to study them bless him 
“You came here to study, not be a freedom fighter” but he wants 2 do both
Aladdin’s ready to fight at the slightest provocation and like same 
Your narrative of overthrowing oppression is really undermined by referring to the masses in the same way you claim that other nobility referred to you 
“The breed possessing sharper intelligence and higher reasoning should control those who don’t” so it’s not only a fascist state it’s also proposing eugenics we’ve reached full on wizard nazis 
“I’m so happy for you Titus” why does Mogamett ruin every happy moment by being gross 
How is Titus planning on continuing his studies while he raises a six-year-old full-time are there nannies in this school
“We will be together forever, I give you my promise” well now I’m worried that Marga’s gonna die 
I’m guessing Titus is some kind of copy of Sheherazade not meant to be permanent so that’s why he’s not meant to last 
“I don’t want my life to end yet” I’m guessing Titus is about to make a mistake
“No matter who he is, no human must ever be granted the powers of a king” now would be a good time to cut to Alibaba 
[Donald T/rump voice] Make the Empire Magic Again 
Call me crazy but I’m guessing the handsome one is the person they’re going to focus on as a potential king 
Things have escalated really quickly like four episodes ago they were having fun times in the market and now they’re at war 
I’m guessing the ominous prologue is about to come to fruition 
“Ours is not a society built on oppression,” he said, while literally standing on ground built above the bodies of indentured labourers 
Sheherazade is defeating her enemies through science what a plot twist 
Are these two just having an ongoing magical phone call while their armies attack each other
Don’t get me wrong I want to know where this plot goes but I also want to see Alibaba’s training montage and see what Morgiana decided 
“You’re an abomination that should never have been born in the first place” Mu is defeating Titus by blows to the self-esteem
Aladdin’s trying to stop a war single-handedly bless his heart
“I never thought about just asking them nicely” Aladdin <333333333
Why is Mu’s djinn equip the only one which changes the user’s ethnicity
“He’s my friend, my best friend” ALIBABA MY LOVE IS HERE AND MY BABIES ARE ACKNOWLEDGING THEIR BOND
What a weird tone for these armistice talks. On a boat during a beautiful sunset with a bunch of teenage boys 
Is Sheherazade the only Magi that can reproduce because she’s a lady
I LOVE THIS TROPE OF GIVING A HEAD BOP EVERY TIME SOMEONE TRIES TO STUBBORNLY TAKE ON ALL THEIR OWN BURDENS
“I acted as if you were a just a toy for me to play with, but I knew no other way to express my love for you” that’s no excuse for bad parenting Sheherazade 
Mogamett needs to chill the fuck out good lord 
“My fall into depravity is guaranteed” I mean same but calm down 
Alibaba during literally every battle: How can I make this about Cassim
“I’ve had my fill of heartbreakers” Slutshame metal vessel users 
Look at my fancy boy with his pants on fire good for Alibaba 
I think this is the first time Alibaba has referred to himself as a Prince of Balbaad since its fall 
“She is much more of an adult than I will ever be” TITUS DON’T DO IT
“Mr. Director, sir, you shall always have my respect,” said Titus, while speaking to a man who is operating a weapon of mass destruction against hundreds of thousands of people using human lives
OH NO TITUS WHY HE DOESN’T DESERVE THAT I DIDN’T EVEN REALIZE WHERE HE WAS UNTIL I SAW HIS EARRING
EVERYTHING HAPPENS SO MUCH HOW ARE THEY GOING TO RESOLVE ALL OF THIS IN ONE EPISODE 
“Just like Sinbad... I have a feeling he’s someone else that I shouldn’t be secrets to” has Sinbad really done anything yet other than give people the heebie jeebies 
“YOU GIVE ME BACK MY SON” ME TOO SHEHERAZADE
I fucking love this “Alibaba dear” my royal buddies Kogyoku and Alibaba
Sidenote: In Japanese she calls him “Alibaba-chan” which is for friends/babies/lovers and Alibaba is all three tbh
I deeply relate to Kouen’s lack of impulse control/regard for his own life
“Die you wastes of space”... maybe not 
“What he’s saying now is, ‘The way things are now, I’m unable to have my way with those wards. And so, as you also own a fire djinn, Lord Alibaba, I’d like you to please lend me a hand.’ Those are the exact words Lord Kouen just spoke to him.” HAKUEI PLEASE HE’S STOMPING ALIBABA INTO A VOLCANO
I already love Kouen and Alibaba’s relationship like combo attacks are my shit 
Kouen’s concerned about his djinn equip even though he’s clearly lost a few layers of flesh where are your priorities my dude
I love these crazy ass siblings dedicated to saving the world together
“Why isn’t Hakuryu here?” he’s probably doing something devious 
“I too was there, and served [King Solomon] as well”.... WHAT 
If she’s a being of only thought how did she have like ten kids 
Sinbad coming in with the cavalry ayyyyyyyyyyyy how’s it going my mysterious friend 
Morgiana comes to the rescue my gal and 
“However, if you’re an uninvited guest forcing yourself upon our world, we’ll eliminate you” Sinbad always says such honourable things it’s very confusing with all the devious coding he’s been getting
Sheherzade coming to perform some deus ex magica
There’s Hakuyru come to fuck up his life he’s got like half an an episode to make a mess let’s see how much he can accomplish in that time
“This man, he kidnapped me from the royal palace and raised me as his own [...] but I was never anything but happy” even the nice things that Mogamett does are sort of evil lmao
Why doesn’t poor Titus even get a line in all this peace-making 
Knowing from my friend that Hakuryu is going to do something after all this plot resolution is making me real tense 
“Now that their common enemy is gone” IS HAKURYU GOING TO BECOME THEIR COMMON ENEMY
“The alliance will spare no effort towards the rebuilding Magnoshuttat” Sinbad’s deviousness is finally coming to fruition 
OH MY GOD TITUS IS BACK AND HE’S A MAGI I LOVE IT 
“I have chosen to forever turn my back on you” why are you like this Hakuryu 
Alibaba’s ‘my friends are idiots’ senses are tingling but I guess it’s not time for him to go full Naruto to Hakuryu’s full Sasuke yet
