imagine kuboyasu introducing saiki to his mom (which makes more sense in an established relationship, but honestly im thinking more pre-relationship because i think itd be really funny if aren gushed about his crush to his mom SO much and then when she meets him she treats it like shes meeting her literal son in law but theyre just friends at this point lmao)
and some time before they go into the house he asks saiki if he likes dogs and he goes "not really" and kubo is freaking out because he has like three dogs whom him and his mom LOVEEEE
and saiki just says he doesnt mind but doesnt care for them.. and the entire time before they go in, kubos just thinking like oh god him not liking animals/ESPECIALLY dogs is totally gonna be a deal breaker for my mom isnt it oh god my mom LOVES dogs what if she hates saiki ??
but then they go in and immediately the dogs are completely ATTACHED to saiki and they literally act like theyve known each other for years☠️he isn't particularly affectionate with them, but hes treating them like one of those pet owners who acts like their dog is just another person ? and he keeps TALKING to them and greeting them like theyre people ??
saiki going "no i dont like dogs.." while carrying a wagging bulldog as two other huge dogs weave around his legs

im currently in a class called "creativity" (which is absolutely shitty but thats not the point) and the teacher had us each write a page about where we ideally saw ourselves in 5 or 10 years. Afterwards everyone shared, and regardless of major, most of our ideal lives in 5 years were going to grad school, living close to friends, spending time with loved ones, eating healthy, having a pet, basically just living a contented and happy life with people and things that we care about.
yall would not BELIEVE how surprised this man was at the fact that nobody in the class's ideal life in 5 years was to be a movie star or a ceo or some bullshit. He literally had to be like "does anyone have any... loftier goals?" And one girl was like "well itd be cool to manage an award winning music artist one day but it def wont be in 5 years."
literally my professor get so pissed bcause our idea of the most perfect world in 5 years is just one where we are content and healthy and with people we love.

So in “Back in Action”, it is claimed that if Porky dropped his stutter, he would be rendered unfunny. Do you think this is true?
i think there’s a big misconception that Porky’s stutter pulls more weight than it actually does. it can absolutely add its own humor and certainly a lot of charm, but i wholeheartedly disagree that he needs it to be funny
the stutter can be an avenue for a lot of fun or charming gags (the ever reliable bait and eh-sweh-swee-eh-swetch-swi—beh-bai-eh-bait and eh-seh-sweh—the ever reliable switcheroo is always a favorite, but the rare occasions where it’s actually acknowledged by Porky himself make for some fun situations too), but Porky’s personality is i think wholly independent from his speech patterns and many of his best cartoons aren’t because he has a stutter and nothing else. it can help with charisma for sure, and i definitely think it would be an odd if he didn’t have it, but… it’s like a topper for what’s already there. stutter or no stutter, he’s a bumbling, oblivious but endearing innocent. the stutter i think helps to convey all that, but is like a compliment to an already founded ensemble
outside of the bait-n-switch wordplay (which can be genius in its own right but IS often used as a crutch by directors when they’re having trouble finding inspiration for him), it’s rare that Porky or other characters really comment on the stutter. likewise, very rarely is it made fun of, and if it is it’s usually by characters who are purposefully supposed to be conveyed as assholes in the moment. which, y’know, is good! it’s not something that’s often noted by other characters and i think that does help in showing that he’s more than just a guy who stutters and doesn’t really single him out.
and you have clips like this for example—i didn’t notice anything odd about it until i noticed there wasn’t a stutter, and even then the personality is still all there in the voice (and mannerisms.) likewise, there’s quite a bit of his dialogue that he goes through without stuttering because having him stutter on every single sentence ever WOULD be excessive. it’s definitely an art, all of the varying directors have different variations of his stutter and as i said before, sometimes you CAN tell when the directors are struggling with inspiration because that’s when the switcheroos come out in close concentration; i don’t think it’s Porky being an unfunny character so much as it is the occasional lack of inspiration. the personality is VERY much there, but sometimes it can be hard to find depending on the circumstances. i have a hard time pinning that as a problem exclusive to Porky
i guess it depends who you ask. i am a Porky nut and often make a point to try and get people to come to The Pork Side because i feel he’s very underrepresented and a very FUNNY character at that! so i’m a bit biased—some other people may think he IS only funny because of the stutter. i personally think that’s very false and puts a lot of faith on the stutter when (at least in the originals) it’s not something given a lot of importance from the characters themselves. i can only really think of one cartoon where the stutter is central to the plot (two if you count the days with his original voice actor, whose stutter was natural)—it would certainly be odd without it, and i can see how it adds a lot of charm and some personality, but people who say he’s ONLY funny because of the stutter are usually people who don’t know how to write him to begin with

very...interesting topic going on in gilana surprisedentistry's anon asks these days.
as the owner of a previously reactive dog with a fear of children AND fear agression, hearing so many people just blindly defend their own Agressive Dog's right to be in public spaces is concerning to say the least - and so is the fact that plenty of dog owners nowadays, due to the public being so violently anti-behavioural euthanasia or anti-rehoming, are just...Okay? to various degrees with owning a dog that actively makes your life a fucking nightmare.
life with a ticking time bomb is not fun. and the reality of it is, most people simply are not equipped to safely deal with a Problem Dog, be it because of time, lack of resources, or just. putting the animal and everyone around it in danger by having them out in public spaces.
"people should not approach random dogs without permission" and "some people WILL approach random dogs without permission" are sadly statuses that DO coexist. it is up to you as a dog owner to prevent a tragedy, moreso than anyone else.
very long conversation to be had here, but its just disheartening to hear even dog-people parrot rhetoric that they themselves would make fun of if the context was a tid bit different 😬 just saying
