What do you think of D.C.'s M26, do you think it was just a fire of pairs for us Shinran?

SPOILERS FOR MOVIE 26

i think, in total there are two significant shinran moments worth talking about

i enjoy certain elements of the first scene:

ran impulsively goes after a member of the black organization and puts herself in danger because he poses a threat to haibara. their fight is AMAZING, i love how ran dominates pinga despite him attacking her with a knife

something similar happens in the manga as well (chapter 434), so the writing for ran absolutely tracks here

chianti sees the fight and interferes by attempting to shoot ran - shinichi barely manages to save her in time

here's the thing: i absolutely hate the writers for often reducing ran to a damsel in distress in these movies, that's an issue i'll further analyze in a bit

with that being said, i don't mind shinichi saving ran in this scene. it's an impactful shinran moment, cause so far the writing is similar to the manga

the only difference between chapter 434 and this movie is the fact that shinichi actually sees what's happening and is able to actively protect ran. i don't have a problem with that, because that's what shinichi and ran do - they protect each other.

what i love even more is how shinichi decidedly urges ran to stay put, i think that's also very in character for him:

he wants ran nowhere near the black organization, for very specific reasons that i'll get into another post

so far, this is a well executed scene, right? it's a very realistic, high-stakes moment that we'd expect from the manga. so far, so good, right? RIGHT?!

no. cause this is where the movie writers fuck up:

W H A T

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?! SHE ACTUALLY STAYS?! AND WHEN SHIN TELLS HER TO RUN, SHE RUNS?! WHAT?!

this is is supposed be ran??? no fucking way.

my girl is the definition of reckless and stubborn. she's not just the type of person who'll enter a burning house to save a girl she barely knows (chapter 174), she's also the type of person who refuses to waste a single second when human lives are at stake. no matter how much shinichi begs her to stay away.

chapter 640

and she does this in chapter 822 on the mystery train as well: shinichi yells at the detective boys, sonoko and ran, he tells them not to leave their room, no matter what. and ran repeatedly attempts to go against his instructions because she's worried about haibara, despite receiving a text message that she's okay, btw. ran's intuition tells her that something is wrong with haibara, so she's gonna fucking look for haibara!!!

i need the movie writers to understand that my girl is absolutely unhinged. she cares about other people very deeply, to the point where she's incapable of watching from the sidelines as they potentially get hurt

so how would i have written this moment? what would've been a more realistic version of this scene?

shinichi and ran get into an intense fight: shin desperately urges ran to stay put, she refuses to listen. and then there'd be two possible outcomes:

a) ran continues to go after pinga and dies in the process (remember, ran was fully prepared to die for haibara in chapter 434)

b) shinichi realizes that he can't stop ran and offers her a safer way to help. ran accepts and they work together as a team to get haibara back

why didn't the movie writers go for this approach? my theory: they don't want ran to take a bigger role in these movies, so option b) was a no-go for them. obviously it'd make even less sense for them to kill off ran, but like i already explained, there's no way ran would just give up on haibara in that moment

so why include this moment at all? what's the point of starting such a strong scene if you're not gonna progress the plot?

the point is ran being a damsel in distress.

which brings me to the second shinran moment in this movie:

ran goes after pinga again and he kicks her off the balcony, she's about to fall and get hurt

kuroda ends up saving her and shinichi feels inadequate

..............

AGAIN, THERE'S NO PLOT PROGRESSION, THE ONLY POINT OF THIS SCENE IS TO MAKE HER LOOK WEAK

idk who this woman is but this ain't ran

HERE'S RAN FUCKING MOURI FOR Y'ALL

a woman who's consistently depicted as strong, fierce and very capable of protecting herself:

chapter 43

chapter 169

and that's not to say that shinichi doesn't worry about her sometimes, ofc he does:

chapter 493

but that doesn't take away from the fact that she's a fucking badass who can defend herself

and it's not just that she's capable of protecting herself, she protects shinichi too.

chapter 5

..........

it's like the movie writers read the manga, took note of moments where shinichi comes through for ran but completely forgot that it's mutual, they come through for each other:

chapter 389

chapter 1050

the movie staff doesn't get ran, they seem to have no idea how strong or caring she is and i hate how much it's hurting the fandom's perception of her

in conclusion:

visit the shinran library for more

#thankfully the movies are only semi canon #if even that #it's arguable lol #shinran #shinichi kudo #ran mouri #dcmk #detective conan #case closed #ship analysis #m26

the fairies and princesses being two opposite extremist sides of the same coin is just *chefs kiss*

#dimension 20 #neverafter #like i was RIGHT #OF COURSE the princesses want to destroy their original stories #like theyre awakened and told that theyre doomed to the narrative of being abused and tortured to maybe get a happy ending ?? ?#if even that #it makes sense theyd want to destroy the canon so that no one has power over them #rainposting #i love how theres no absolute good or bad side here #like everyone kinda has a point !!!

FINALLY Introducing : Sonic Emerald Guardians AU

SO. I've never actually shown this outside of discord yet. I said I'd post everything about it in April 2022... and then I didn't and it's now July 2023 so it's high time I followed through !! Nothing about it is finished yet, and it's my first big public project so please be nice ?

Yes, so what's it actually about ?

Well to be concise, it's the whole game series but rewritten with new laws to the world and a consistent canon ! ( yes, quite the endeavor ) What's chaos energy ? What are rings ? Inhibitor rings ? Deities ? How do the characters' powers work ? All that good stuff.

That's pretty much it really, basically I'm trying to flesh out the worldbuilding to overthinking limits.

Telling you right now : the bulk of the work I've done on it so far is character design explorations and a currently 17 pages-long google doc with all the lore ( and it's nowhere near done ), with on the side some short drabbles and a wip timeline mind map.

The end goal is to make this a sort of abstract fancomic, spanning about one game per issue maybe ? We'll see. In the meantime I'm working on more character designs, and thinking about their stories and stuff.

Hopefully you guys enjoy whatever this is !

I'm gonna be posting the digital art I've done for this daily starting today until it runs out. The earlier of these are pretty outdated sadly but whatever. There's a bunch of trad doodles of the AU but I haven't scanned or photographed them so that's gonna have to wait :/

#sonic au #sonic emerald guardians au #official tag is 'sonic emerald guardians au' but when talking about it i'm probably gonna call it SEGAU #funny acronym be funny !#anyway prepare for a bunch of old art posts #most of which are 1:2 landscape format doodle pages #i've done IDs in alt text for these but uh #they're not great but i did my best and i hope it's serviceable #i was going to include non-game canon stuff at first but... yah i gave that up #sorry comic fans and cartoon/anime fans #it's gonna be small references/cameos at best #if even that

ohhh i just saw the next feh banner teaser… desert sands… solm… i dont know if i should want this during cyl or not… god its like mage eirika all over again

#ann cries about feh #i KNOW the chances of brave timerra are so small. BUT I WANT IT :( INTSYSSSS…#though i think i’d also be mad if we got a solm banner with no solm characters on it so i dont really know what i should hope for.#i honestly have no idea where any of the solm characters stand in popularity aside from pandreo being the most popular (probably)#but it looks like hawkeye and… an awakening pegasus knight (cannot tell if thats cordy or sumia…) so that only leaves two engage spots #if even that #kagetsu would be cool actually…

I wonder if characters who duel in the Yu-Gi-Oh! series react to Industrial Illusions in the same way irl players of the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG react to Konami every time a new set is released

"wow these cards were uncommon in the Japanese release but they're UR and ScR in the English release. real nice to your Western consumer base Industrial Illusions"

"wtf is with the short prints of these cards. Industrial Illusions knows they're staples in the meta. real sus imo"

"oh, that's a cool set. too bad like half of it is going to be on the ban list next month lol"

"this game has been broken since they introduced synchro summoning"

"idk is with all the recent Blue-Eyes support when we all know literally only one person in the world runs a Blue-Eyes deck"

#but it would be like MtG where Pegasus is the face of the company #so he gets blamed for literally everything by the players #when he's only really involved in like 20% of the decisions #if even that #yugioh #ygo #yu-gi-oh!#tcg

nah robins death just doesn’t sound right. It doesn’t make sense narratively to kill her off now. They introduced a whole new character for her sake, are they really going to scrap it now? it’s an unfired chekhovs gun, and robins arc is still unfinished, so her death would destroy all of that. i’m calling bull on that leak

#stranger things #robin buckley #idk what to tag lmfao #spoiler warning?#ig #if even that #ronance

The first person known to have taught the system was George Gurdjieff, a Russian philosopher-mystic of Greek-Armenian descent who died in 1949. He taught it to his students as a means for understanding the natural cycles of existence, not as personality typing.

Susan Piver, The Buddhist Enneagram: Nine Paths to Warriorship

#quotes #susan piver #the buddhist enneagram #george gurdjieff #enneagram #i'm really interested in this aspect of the enneagram but i never see anyone explore it or even do much more than simply mention it #if even that
