Unpopular Opinions(Voltron: LD Edition)

I finished Trese from Netflix and I adore it. The concept of using Filipino culture and mythology alongside supernatural/murder mystery. I love learning new mythology through a compelling story. The characters are great- Alexandra is a badass and the twins are lovable jokesters. I can’t say whether the Filipino representation was great or not, but I like that most of the cast was of Asian descent. 

I really hope this series gets a second season because I need more content. Maybe I’ll get into the source material soon. 

Launchpad Headcanon

Mine: When LP finds the right person (I also headcanon him as pan and with Drake/Darkwing), he’ll want to marry them and adopt a lot of kids.

Launchpad is such a sweet guy that I think he would adopt kids of any age instead of having bio ones so kids in systems can have a good home. He would probably adopt 4-6 kids(don’t worry, Gosalyn is included). 

Ducktales Incorrect Quotes #1 w/ ’17 Gos & Honker(oc)

Gosalyn and Honker are waiting by the side of an empty desert road as her parents are trying to salvage their car(Launchpad somehow crashed).

Gosalyn: Texas is huge.

Honker: 268,581 square miles to be exact. Largest state in the contiguous 48 and the second-most populous. Don’t mess with Texas.

Gosalyn: *rolls her eyes and drinks juice*

Honker: Hey, you want to read? I always do when I’m anxious. *hands book*

Gosalyn: *reads title* “The Magical Mathematics of Quantum Physics.” Ohh. Nope. *hands back book* I’m good. I’ll wait for the movie.

What Are Your Fav to Least Fav Chainsaw Man Endings?

Disclaimer: I think every ending ranges from good to masterpiece. I’m basing my ranks on how much I like the song and visuals. 

12. Ending 7; “All Kinds of Kisses” by ano

This song is not for me. When it comes to songs with high-pitched singing, I mostly don’t like it. It’s a bit too cutesy and usually stay the same throughout the whole thing. I think the singer is talented but I don’t think her music is for me. There are moments when I like the song such as near the end. The song’s beat is good and I can jam to it. 

The old video game concept was a nice idea and it was fun seeing Chainsaw Denji walking around like an NPC and interacting with other characters. The visuals afterwards are okay. I don’t have strong feelings seeing the female characters is provocative positions so I can take it or leave it. The vomiting scene on the other hand made me uncomfortable. It’s not as bad as in the show but vomiting makes me really uncomfortable even when it’s censored. 

11. Ending 12; “Fight Song” by Eve 

I think my expectations with Eve kind of messed with my enjoyment of the song. With Eve doing the 1st opening for Jujutsu Kaisen, I expected a lot from Eve and, unfortunately, I was underwhelmed. The song is good and I would listen to it once in a while, yet “Fight Song” sounds more generic compared to the uniqueness of most endings. The vocals and instruments are still good. 

Visuals are sweet since we needed a chill ending with the main cast hanging out. Although the visuals are kind of like every anime ending, I appreciate the concept of a fun time. I would say my favorite part is seeing how the main three grew into a family after a rocky start in the beginning of the show. 

10. Ending 4; “Tablet” by Tooboe 

The song fits Power’s chaotic energy very well, but it’s not a song I really like without the show connection. The screaming sections are really unique and cool to listen to. However, in my opinion, the song isn’t as successful with not having an interesting bridge as “Rendevous” by Kanaria. It’s still a fun song and I do have urges to listen to it once in a while.

Seeing Power in different outfits was cute, and the costumes are pretty stylish, but that’s the only thing I really enjoy about the visuals. I don’t care for anime dances so Power dancing didn’t do much for me, and the simplicity of what’s occurring is kind of boring. Though, I really like the sketching style was a cool idea. 

9. Ending 11; “Violence” by Queen Bee

This song is a fun listen! Queen Bee have a unique vocalist who makes the song for me. The guitar is really good but it’s not particularly unique like most Chainsaw Man endings. It’s a bit poppy but I think it fits since it has some rock elements in the vocals and guitar. 

The visuals are cool. I really like the characters dissolving to add an interesting transition for the next scene. The glass fragments are nice to look at and adds something interesting to the skyline. Though, I don’t like the Power dancing part since the 3D looked a bit off but I think my bias on 2D animation is getting in the way. 

8. Ending 5; “In the Backroom” by Syudou 

It took me a while for me to like this song, probably because the beat felt a bit random at some points and I have trouble liking songs that don’t have a recognizable beat. Though, the vocals were great, especially when he did that half scream and started showing more of their vocal talent. I grew to really like the beat and interesting additions like the similar snapping and bell noises. 

Visuals were a bit too random and it’s hard to feel attachment to them since I didn’t understand the concept idea for it. They are still great though. My favorite moments were the agents walking continuous stairs, the two Makimas looking like a god, and the ending where every characters appears but ends with Denji. 

7.  Ending 10; “Dogland” by People 1 

This song is nice but I don’t get excited about it  until the bridge when the vocalist is letting loose. The ending cares “Dogland” for me. I do like the part when Denji says “Bow Wow” because of his comparison to a dog. 

The visuals and meaning behind the ending carries its ranking. Throughout the show, Denji is constantly compared to a dog and having an opening dedicated to that was a smart idea. Animating Denji with real objects filmed through rotoscope was super cool and looked natural. MAPPA did a great job as always! I also have a bias towards dogs.  

6. Ending 6; “Rendevous” by Kanaria 

The song is really good though it’s not as high since the song stays at the same level throughout the whole ending. The vocalist has a recognizable voice and the music composition is so well done that you can’t help but tap your feet to the beat. 

Labyrinths always interested me so I really enjoyed the visuals and constant looping through it. When it comes to visuals, I like feeling like I’m traveling through the setting and this opening did a great job doing it. The close up to Denji’s chainsaw form was so cool and the touch of red made it pop. 

5. Ending 2; “Time Left” by Zutomayo 

The bass at the beginning is a nice touch to the softer vocals so the song doesn’t deviate too far from Chainsaw Man’s edgy theme. My favorite parts is the bridge since the vocals and instruments ramp up and the ending when the vocalists heightens her voice in some parts(Sorry don’t know singing terms). 

I really like the sketching style of the visuals. It feels like I’m watching a manga come to life. Seeing the main cast in individual moments was nice since we get to see how different their lives are from each other. My favorite visual is Denji falling from the sky. It’s so smooth and seeing his pov made me feel like I was falling. 

4. Ending 1; “Chainsaw Blood” by Vaundy 

This is a great start to the ending fest!

I don’t have a lot to say about this song other than I enjoy the bada** feeling it gives when I listen to it and the slow “oooh, oooh” moments are a good ramp up to the song. Great song for people who like softer rock, which I usually prefer.

Visuals are really good. My favorite parts are seeing Denji rip apart the zombies during the bridge and the Denji/Pochita moments since they remind me of me and my dog. 

3. Ending 3; “Hawatari Nioku Centi” by Maximum the Hormone

I’m not a big rock fan yet I really enjoy this opening. I feel like such a bada** whenever I hear the beginning- my favorite part- and the switch up with the slow moment was so well-done. The ending with the guy revving up his voice like a chainsaw was a great touch. It’s not higher-up because I don’t love the middle section of the ending compared to the beginning and ending. Super chaotic moments aren’t my cup of tea. 

Love the red lighting and neon coloring! It makes everything pop; I would have them as a poster for my room. I also really like the choice of having Makima looking like a benevolent goddess since that’s how Denji views her. 

2. Ending 9; “Deep Down” by Aimer

This song is so different from all the others, but it works so well. Aimer has such a hauntingly beautiful voice and the softness of the instruments are welcoming after almost every ending are loud and pack a punch. 

The visuals are also simplistic with a black background with blood and organs morphing into different images. This ending made me appreciate the animation more since I see the imagery slowing changing. It’s so satisfying. 

1. Ending 8; “First Death” by T.K. from Ling tosite sigure

I love this song! T.K is one of my favorite artists! He has such a unique voice and hearing his voice mix well with more rock influenced music. I’m used to listening to his more slower music so I was pleasantly surprised that “First Death wasn’t like this. 

The visuals aren’t super unique like most other endings but the lighting is breathtaking and the more action packed moments near the end make it up for me. I’m also more partial towards Aki and Himeno since I really like their characters. 

Young Justice x Encanto: Og 6’s Reactions to Watching Encanto

*In my alternative universe, Superboy and Wally have returned after S4

-No one is not jamming to “We Don’t Talk About Bruno.”

General Shao (Childhood) Headcanon 

Warning: mentions of child abuse, bullying, terrible parent

Ever since General Shao’s backstory was revealed on the website I’ve believed he had a terrible (borderline hellish) childhood. 

To recap, Shao had the enthusiasm and brilliance to be a great warrior, but his body was too sickly to handle the physical training. Shao’s father did not like this and decided to design a strenuous program to build Shao’s strength. On the surface, there doesn’t seem to be anything wrong but I believe Shao went through awful circumstances that made him the man he is. 

In Outworld, especially in professions that involve fighting, strength is considered the most important thing for a person. No doubt Shao’s father, a renowned Outworld general, would express these ideals and hate the reality of one of his children being considered weak. He would do anything to ensure his legacy was considered strong, which he did by ignoring Shao’s physicians and crafting a training program that could potentially worsen Shao’s condition. 

Because of his family’s reputation, Shao would be tormented by other children. Being pushed around and called worthless or a “sorry excuse to his family tree.” This would fester Shao’s anger and his drive to become stronger like his father, so he’s willing to go through the program. 

In other people’s eyes the program would be considered abusive, but Shao saw it as his father caring about him. He would excuse the days long training, survival training alone in the woods, his father’s harsh words, and not letting Shao eat or drink until he perfected his moves. 

Shao would also inherit his father’s demented beliefs in what being a warrior is and what Outworld needed. He would hear his father complain about the kingdom’s alliance with Liu Kang, hearing him call the fire god a “scoundrel” and “the bringer of Outworld’s downfall.” He’d be taught that domination is the true way to live rather than peace, compassion is considered weakness, death in battle is the greatest honor, and the only way to fight is on your terms. 

(Some of Shao’s intros inspired this headcanon, such as one of his intros with Liu Kang where he admits that he’s wanted to kill Liu Kang all his life, and an intro with Reiko where he tells him, “fight on your terms or don’t fight at all.” Also, Shao’s disgusted reaction to Raiden offering to help him to his feet after their fight inspired the part about Shao being taught that compassion is weakness.) 

Unfortunately Shao never learned that his father’s behavior was abuse since the bullying he faced stopped after being able to defend himself, instead he continues this cycle with Reiko. When it comes to his relationship with Reiko, I believe Shao cares about Reiko like a son but only learned how to express love through his father. He saw his old self in Reiko and wanted to share his feelings of strength with the young boy. He trained Reiko the same way as his father did to him and the results were the same- Reiko became a great warrior. I don’t think he’s manipulating Reiko to tame Onaga; Shao genuinely believes that his young ward is capable of doing the task, but thinks Reiko dying would be okay since his father taught him that dying in battle is an honor. Hopefully if Reiko dies taming Onaga (it’s highly possible with how powerful and rabid Onaga is), Shao lowers his guard and shows genuine care for Reiko. At least a sweet goodbye or a burial scene where we see him mourning his lost ward/son. 

I don’t think Shao would be redeemed if my headcanon turned out to be true, but I would hope that other characters would learn about his past and use it as a cautionary tale on how striving for strength is not worth losing your humanity. The possible tragedy Shao’s story could take would be interesting, especially when Liu Kang somewhat created the beginning of Shao’s life to give him the chance for redemption, yet it’s someone Liu never considered that turned Shao into the person he is. 

Okay seriously. Reblog if you're OLDER than 11.

Ducktales Incorrect Quotes #2 w/ ‘17 Louie & Dickie(oc)

What Are Your Predictions/Hopes For Season 2?

I’m curious to know people’s predictions and hopes for season 2. I don’t doubt season 2 is going to be great and I’m so excited for this summer. Personally, I don’t have any predictions since I’m mostly the type of fan who “enjoys the ride rather than wonder what the destination will be.” But I do have some hopes.

-Season 2 to be more character driven than plot driven.

-Flashbacks of Crowley as an angel or just more hints on why/how he fell.

-Some physically affectionate moments between Aziraphale and Crowley like holding hands.

-Aziraphale wearing a different outfit for a few scene or an episode(more as a fun moment than anything else).

-Anathema, Newton, Adam, Shadwell, Madame Tracy, and the Them mentions

-More angels and demons who don’t fit the status quo of what angel and demon should be

-More Ineffable Husbands scenes throughout centuries

-Another witch character(but I think it would work better in a possible S3)

-More long hair Crowley scenes
