I love how you draw Raphael! He looks so handsome! *chef's kiss*

Thank you, nonny! It helps that he is already a stupidly handsome dude.

I mean LOOK

#On a similar note #I've seen people saying in their tags when they reblog my Raphael art “you made him so handsome” and I'm like “???” #Are we... Not playing the same game? #I chalk this up to them interacting with Raphael passively and not really going back to his scenes... But the dude is HANDSOME #The way I draw him may be somewhat stylised.

ok, right, let me express just how much I hate power scalers, ok.

I once saw someone say that "Grandpa" Max Tennison, from Ben 10, had faster than light reaction because he blocked a laser beam.

this fucking guy

and like... yeah, OK, chief is defiantly exceptional for his age. beyond the alien tech he has access too, hes certainly limber, but like... y'all do know that laser beams in fiction don't work like the ones in real life, right? like just because IRL laser beams move at the speed of light doesn't mean this fictional ones do. like you do know that the idea that this NOMINALLY HUMAN old ass man can move faster than light is ridiculous, right?

but this is it with power scaling and people who subscribe to it. everything has to have definitive numbers drawn from the real world, even if that makes no real sense. because if it doesn't have numbers, how will we know if they beat goku?

but like... its fiction. nothing has definitive numbers. most of it is stuff that is thrown out to make the heroes look or feel cool, "realism" be damned. please read what was intended by the scene rather than the over-thought numbers you have conjured says is true.

Grandpa max cannot react faster than light. hes fast, sure, and strong, but only within the limits of a mostly normal human being within this world.

#power scaling #ben 10 #grandpa max #Power scaling is fun #but also very dumb #please stop #on a similar note #Kamen rider ichigo #cannot move faster than light for the same reason.

i seriously think a reversed byler dynamic that parallels s1 would be so interesting, like….. a scenario where mike is the one trapped in the UD/in some kind of UD-related danger and will is the one leading the search/rescue? that would be SOOO interesting to see. it would be a huge change for both of their characters and we’d get to see sides to them that we haven’t before, like mike having to face trauma all by himself (ow) or will taking charge and playing a direct “hero” type role. idk. brain worms!!!

Don't know if you already covered this somewhere, but do you have any theories or info for why characters with bird names are seen as either important or people that other characters try to keep a close eye on?

Why no I haven't! There's not much we have right now, not at all, but here's what we do have on Bird's Names.

Canon Mentions

We actually have so little on them, that rather than summarise what we know right off the bat, I think it'd be helpful to show directly what we do have:

RMI Slaver Team - Ex Stage

Tenkai Zuifeng "Since you [Kuroji] bear a "bird's name", it must surely be no coincidence that you came to this world. Was it by Tsurubami's whim, or perhaps by Mugenri's will…?"

BPoHC Shrine Team - Neutral vs. Tenkai Zuifeng

Tsubakura Enraku "So, what exactly are you doing here [Devanagara]?" Tenkai Zuifeng "Birdwatching. [...] I'm here to observe the capital's new emperor." Tsubakura Enraku "The emperor? That counts as birdwatching?" Tenkai Zuifeng "Yes. 'Birds' are those that soar through the heavens, after all. They naturally stand above the rest of the populace."

BPoHC Scoundrel Team - Neutral vs. Tenkai Zuifeng

Hooaka Shitodo "We're all named after birds too, starting with our surnames." Tenkai Zuifeng "You seem to have become accustomed to this place. You may even be able to spread your wings soon enough."

Interview with JynX (2017) Q.50

Q: Medias is a penguin, but why don't they have a Bird's Name? A: They're not a bird that can fly, so they're not as special as the other birds in the cast. A bird's a bird, though, so they're a little special… maybe?

Interpretation

The key thing that makes these "birds" so crucial would seem to be their potential to "rise above" other people, being somehow above them, perhaps in terms of authority, power, or otherwise.

Tying into the above is the fact that it seems that flying birds are given much higher praise than flightless ones, almost certainly to keep in line with the "fly high above the common rabble" theme.

Curiously, you may note that the only in-universe source we have on the concept is Tenkai Zuifeng, a close cooperator of the Senri Shrine. Additionally, they seem to closely guard the secrets of the names, giving only vague hints and metaphors as to what it may mean or represent.

Tenkai is also the only one really keeping tabs on these people, as far as we know. This is in part because they seem to be the only person who knows about the concept, and in part because they're constantly on surveillance for any potential threats to Mugenri, likely a habit from their previous capacity as co-dictator of Mugenri.

Theory: Birds of Potential

This is a very widespread theory that's basically taken as fact these days, I think. And while I do think that it's a very likely interpretation, it should be made clear that it's not outright confirmed.

The names are often interpreted along with Tsurubami's ability to "cultivate poultry", which we know is a metaphor for "releasing and cultivate the latent potential" in certain people.

Combined with the fact that the ability doesn't work on people lacking in potential, and that everyone in EE were holders of bird's names, it's not hard to see how people would come to tie the two facts together.

Under this view, bird's names are basically symbols of having great potential, which does seem to be true, looking at the characters known to have bird's names so far.

However, it should be noted that Tsurubami's power theoretically works on anybody, as long as they have sufficient potential. Additionally, though this is just my opinion, I would imagine that potential is not all these names are about, and that there's more we aren't privy to.

Other Curiosities

A possible hint as to what else these names may mean, is the idea that they are seemingly somehow intrinsically linked to Mugenri.

Tenkai suggests that it might actually be Mugenri's will that all the EE outsiders, every single one of them holders of bird's names, have been spirited away into the mysterious land.

They also seem to suggest that once a person has sufficiently familiarised themself with Mugenri, they'll be able to "spread their wings", likely in a metaphorical sense.

I would imagine that this is not directly about their potential, since the EE outsiders' were already unlocked during EE, but about something else somehow tied to the land they find themself in.

And that's all I have on Bird's Names, still a very mysterious concept, that we aren't really familiar with yet. Nevertheless, we have what we have, and we've made the best use of it.

As usual, I hope you enjoyed~! :)

#len'en #len'en project #len'en lore #you might much more readily recognise Tsurubami's ability as “raising poultry” and not “cultivating poultry” #this would be because I literally changed the translation halfway through typing this up #“raising” kinda gives the wrong impression that Tsurubami is able to give you more than what you're allotted which is untrue #on a similar note #I'm thinking of changing “bird's name” to simply “bird name” #it's much less cumbersome #I'll mull over it for a bit before that though

I was gonna go off anon but whoops: Call me PolyAnon? I guess? Idk where to even start

When I was with my nesting partner at the time, I was also seeing a recently divorced guy. His ex wife refused oral, but he was Obsessed. Dude came to me, knowing I was in an open relationship and asked to try because he’d never done it extensively before. So I humored him.

I swear, he was relentless, didn’t even care if he got anything because all he wanted was for me to sit on his face, have my thighs clamp down on him— the overstimulation, the ass grabbing. I loved it. Gave him plenty of confidence to move on and find himself a new partner, I’m proud of that king

It's funny I started watching Hamatora again after having seen a few episodes back in 2014, and I was initially like "hm...this is not very good..." but I kept watching it bc like it's fun and the aesthetic is impeccable, and now I've finished it and I'm just sitting here like. "This has emotionally affected me"
