Vinland manga fact for anime-only fans (no spoilers)

Instead of the manga starting with Thorfinn’s backstory it starts during their attack on the french fort. It is only after Thorfinn’s and Askeladd’s following duel, when Thorfinn is sulking on the ship, that his backstory is shown.

#honestly I kinda love that #because Thorfinn yells the same thing as he does in the anime #that Askeladd only won cause Thorfinn was taken hostage #being given hints to a traumatic backstory before actually getting it is incredible #it gave me chills and I already knew it all by the time I read it #vinland saga #thorfinn #Askeladd #season 1 #manga #anime #manga facts #anime only

sometimes while i think about that while a lot of adults did not treat me very well as a kid i also get a lot of 'in hindsight this person was so good to me and i didnt even realize it until now' as an adult. today i was thinking about how the first anime convention i ever went to was when i was 10 and i asked the man working the manga cafe what manga was/what a good place to start was (because the con was very overstimulating for me and i had gotten lost) and he asked how old i was before recommending yotsuba and asking if i wanted any water or something to eat. its really simple but theres a lot of bad things that couldve happened or he could've been careless in his recommendation, but instead yotsuba has remained one of my favorite manga for years, and probably a large portion of why i continue to read manga as an adult... i think adults who try to involve kids in the world safely/kindly even in little ways make so much more of a difference than they ever really know.

#and i know that sounds silly like YES. it was just a bookr ecommendation #but i feel like a lot of people either dont really care about whats a good starting point for younger kids in their shared fan spaces #or dont really take the care to recognize different peoples ages would effect what they would both enjoy or #be capable of engaging with #not to mention theres a lot of manga that would NOT have been appropriate for a 10 year old to read #so the fact that he askedd and even asked what sort of thing i liked at the time #was very sweet. i think about him a lot and i hope hes doing well #txt #scratchpost

Back on my TwiYor brainrot shoit again .😅 We really need Yor using her stealth to spook unflappable Twilight more. I know he's stressed enough as is, but it's too funny.

Terence mayhaps

What if Terence D'Arby was in the Jojolands

Who do you guys think each of them would main in mario kart (my headcanons under the cut)

Jodio - Shy Guy (specifically the dark blue version)

Lowkey a pro at this game. Likes to challenge himself in time trials and knows all the best cart combinations. If there is a shortcut on the track, he WILL take it (and will almost always be successful). Actually enjoys Rainbow Road (the real reason for his psychopath diagnosis).

Dragona - Pink Gold Peach (I could see them picking Daisy too)

Just there to have a good time tbh. At least most of the time, because every now and then when they're doing particularly well their competitive streak kicks in, and trust me – once they get into it, they get REALLY into it (cross them at your own risk). Favorite track is Cheep Cheep Beach.

Paco - Bowser

He thinks gaming is dumb and a waste of time (definitely not because he sucks at it). On the rare occasion he does get convinced to play, he keeps bumping into walls and other players (it doesn't help that he picks one of the heaviest characters in the game). Known for notoriously running into banana peels. Gaming sessions usually end in him "inviting" the other players to the gym.

Usagi - Luigi

Relates to Luigi on a personal level for being the underappreciated helper of the group. He's actually quite good at the game. His aim is freakishly accurate and he loves to hoard items to target other players (for unknown reasons they seem to hit everyone but Dragona). Similarly to Jodio, he takes shortcuts almost every chance he gets, but unlike Jodio, it doesn't always go so well. Also probably likes Baby Park like the freak he is.

Charmingman - Dry Bones

Used to play with Mauka a lot, so he's surprisingly good, and can get quite competitive too. Drives solely on bikes, which give him some good ol' maneuverabilty to avoid all those damn banana peels Usagi keeps throwing around. Secretly loves the music tracks and sometimes listens to them while riding his bike irl, imagining himself to be in a race. Favorite item is Boo.

#idk how this ask turned into me going on about the jojolands gang playing mario kart but alas. #also fun fact every now and then i think 'oh! it would be pretty cool to start my own comic' #and then i do something like this #and get reminded that the unfortunate combo of slow drawing pace + perfectionism would probably ruin all my chances #major props to all the comic and manga artists out there you guys are actual gods #art requests #sketch requests #terence d'arby #fanart #jjba #jojo no kimyou na bouken #jojos bizzare adventure #art #digital art #jojo #jojo fanart #sketch #myart #stardust crusaders #the jojolands #jodio joestar #dragona joestar #paco laburantes #usagi alohaoe #charmingman

Some interesting similarities between the forms of Falling Devil and Darkness Devil.

There’s the use of multiple bodies to create a singular form, the angular shapes, the mantis-leg-like appendages, the sheer height.

These two also share very strong hand motifs, which makes sense for both of them: when it’s dark, you have to feel your way around, usually with your hands; when you’re falling, you try to grab onto something with your hands.

I’m curious to see if the other Primals look anything like these two.

Vinland manga fact for anime-only fans (no spoilers)

In the manga Einar never strangles Thorfinn, he is only shown to stand over him with clenched fists, clearly thinking about doing it but snapping out of it when Thorfinn begins to cry out because of his nightmare.

another detail for bugliker shuro: in the chapter 60 cover, his succubus is falin with insect wings & legs! a little reminiscent of laios's tbh...

Oh my god you’re RIGHT…

Even at the most mosquito-like we see them be in canon they only have wings and hair-like antennas, not this full fit with collar and extra legs… The wings don’t look the same… Oh my god Toshiro’s ideal is a bug wife

Valid. But idkkkk guysssss….. 👀 #Idkkk guys the wings look different….. Those aren’t mosquito-like 👀 if she’s his queen bee that’d be so cute- anyways getting ahead of myse #It’d be interesting to dive into the link Toshiro made between Falin and bugs prob stuff to dig into there… There’s that folk tale on it to #The fact that bug fu- EHEM lover Toshiro is has basis enough for this to even being an entertainable possibility is already so funny #I say bug wife but it being falin does really matter… If it’s just bc bugs are why he fell in love with her so it manifests that’s so…

i think there’s something to be said about how chainsaw man continually places extreme importance on the mundane pleasures of life, like watching bad movies or eating chinese takeout. i also think that it’s incredibly funny that two horsemen of the apocalypse want to stop the world ending over pizza

#the duality of tatsuki fujimoto #on one hand i really appreciate the fact that mundane even shitty parts of life are seen as motivating and wonderful #on the other i am laughing so hard at these devils wholeheartedly saying no more pizza is the worst case scenario #chainsaw man #chainsaw man manga #chainsaw man spoilers #chainsaw man manga spoilers #mine

[normal-about-charcters]

These two pages work amazingly to show just how unfulfilling a "normal" life can be, as well as showing just how little either of them really know of whats "normal"

#manga #csm #chainsaw man #csm spoilers #chainsaw man manga spoilers #chainsaw man manga #csm manga #chainsaw man spoilers #csm manga spoilers #I think part of what makes it work so well for me is the fact that this still isnt normal #theyre trying to be normal by skipping class and going to a movie but the circumstances in which its happening is fundamentally abnormal #an empty movie theatre with a devil corpse #it works amazingly to show just how impossible it is for either of them to truly be normal #also the last panel is really a well designed 'isolated in a crowd' image

(ID in alt)

The fact that the person shown under the "save me" is Akutagawa, who needs saving both in the literal (he's a vampire atm) and metaphorical sense. What's more, in that scene he's fighting with Atsushi, a person who's supposed to help him save himself.

For me this is like Akutagawa saying "save me" to Atsushi. (But also the fact that he's the one who saved Atsushi... They really do need each other).

[ehhgg-art]

you ever think about the fact that laios won not by being a monster but by being human.

monsters as we’ve seen throughout the manga are predictable, they have this rhythm to them that, once someone understands, can be used to take them out. take kelpies like anne where laios states that she is just a monster and cannot be trusted. even kensuke is “just a monster after all”, running away from danger when laios needs it most. kensuke is beloved by laios not just because he is a monster, but because laios, in human fashion, anthropomorphized him in his mind (giving him a name, etc.)

but people are different. they are multifaceted, non-monolithic creatures. long lived races are not all pious and apathetic towards short lived races as we see with marcille and senshi. chilchuck actively works against the prejudice against half-foots. tallmen from every region have their cultural differences as we see with shuro and laios/falin. even “demi-humans” like orcs have depth to them, having rich culture and values despite the general idea that they are a violent pillaging race.

even laios’ family and village, the nexus point for his dislike of people, have depth to them. though their parents did not actively protect their children, they did not wish harm on them either. the exorcisms performed on falin by their mother was harmful in laios’ eyes, but helpful in his mother’s perspective.

laios himself, despite loving monsters and hating humans, is so very painfully human. he hates humans but has risked life and literal limb to save his sister and his party. he loves monsters but is aware of their dangerous nature and spares them no mercy.

(big spoilers under the cut)

the winged lion mistook laios as a one dimensional entity, one which only operates on a one track mind without paradox. it thought laios to operate like a monster, and so it approached his desires like one. it believed that laios, being so obsessed with monsters, must behave like one as well, so completely disregarded the fact that laios could have something up his sleeve.

but laios is not a monster, he is human. he has ulterior motives, overlapping beliefs, contradicting values. it is his humanness that made him explain to his party what to do when things went awry. it is his humanness that allowed him to lie. lie to the world about his true plan as well as lie to the winged lion about his intentions.

sure laios WANTS to be a monster, that much is definitely true. but what he IS is a different story. laios is an unpredictable, sporadic, messy human being. it is that fact which the winged lion overlooked, and ultimately led to its downfall and laios’ victory.

#ohh the multifaceted nature of human beings and the beauty of the human condition #ryoko kui really outdid herself #dungeon meshi you will always be important to me #anyways don’t mind me i’m just having Laios thoughts #ignore the fact that i accidentally said two dimensional entity the first time i know language i swear #laios touden #laius thorden #??? #dungeon meshi #delicious in dungeon #dunmeshi #dunmesh spoilers #the winged lion #rambles #ryoko kui #anime #manga #analysis
