“"I’ve got no choice but to crush it with my fist." MASHLE: MAGIC AND MUSCLES comes to Crunchyroll this April! @MashleAnimeENG ✨ READ MORE

This is one of the funniest series I’ve ever read. I can’t recommend it enough. One of my favorite series running in Jump right now, though it is close to ending. Anyway, this trailer is great. Perfectly captures the series. Go read or watch Mashle. 🤩

My wife has been showing me the older Muppet movies on Disney+ because I had never seen them before, aside from Christmas Carol and Treasure Island. Definitely seen those. Now, after having seen both The Muppet Movie (1979) and The Great Muppet Caper, I am convinced the main reason these were made was so Jim Henson could flex his practical effect skills. Like, in both movies, there are scenes with Muppets riding bicycles. Like, HOW?! In the first movie it’s just Kermit riding a bike, but in The Great Muppet Caper they have the whole cast riding bikes! How are they doing this?!? I assume with strings or something but it looks so seemless!! These movies were made in the late ‘70s/early ‘80s! IS IT MAGIC? WAS JIM HENSON A WIZARD!?! (The answer is yes, Jim Henson was absolutely a wizard.) Anyway, these movies were both very delightful. The jokes were funny and I can’t stress enough how insane the practical effects were.

Been a while since I posted about work. Recently, we got more display cases and decided to dedicate one entirely to anime figures. Here’s a quick video on some of the stuff inside it.

Got back from Planet Comicon with such a great haul of art! And a phone charm. 🤩 Let’s go over the art first.

These are all so sick. Most of them were “buy 2, get one free” so my wife and I went on a shopping spree. The Hollow Ichigo, Gear 5 Luffy, and inky Hollow Knight prints are from shanesauerart on Instagram. The other Hollow Knight prints on the right are from @itsmandymo here on Tumblr and other platforms (I have their business card in another photo). The Splatoon 3 Deep Cut print is from Andy Kluthe (again, business card in another photo). The Mario print at the top is from Amourable Art (business card photo). I actually have three other prints I got from them last year of Ichigo, Luffy and the Elric Brothers.

My wife also got some prints from them this time of Howl’s Moving Castle and Majora’s Mask.

All in all, some pretty cool stuff. BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE!

These lovely Bleach, Chainsaw Man, and Samurai Jack prints are from Sketch Cartel who can be found on Instagram. I also got a print from them last year of Sukuna and Yuji from Jujutsu Kaisen.

They’re all so pretty. 🤩 Now, this next photo is all of the business card we acquired for some of the artists mentioned above.

Finally, the last thing I got was THIS!

A Magnemite phone charm! Isn’t it adorable? FYI, I’ve owned the Bleach phone case for about a month or two now. It’s not new but it is neat. Anyway, this little guy was being sold with other Pokémon merch not normally found outside of Japan. So that’s pretty neat.

All in all, I had a pretty great time at Planet Comicon and can’t wait to go again next year. I’ve been to it about five times and had a blast each time. This October, they’re gonna open a new sister con, Planet Anime. I am stoked for that. More cool art to add to my collection!!! And maybe some autographs from english dub voice actors. 🤩

Okay, it’s definitely just the way Riruka’s hair is styled but everytime I’ve seen this art of her I think of Hina Chono from Blue Box.

I tried to find a screenshot from the fireworks festival episode since she wears a kimono in that one but had no such luck.

Japanese Parasol Zenith Gacha -Fleeting Dawn-

Yeah, this looks right. It’s been a fun year.

So I had speculated before that when Ingo was transported to Hisui, because they're two of the prizes that you can buy in any incarnation of the Battle Subway, it's not a stretch of the imagination to think that Ingo may have had a Razor Fang and Razor Claw on him. And if this is true, then it's entirely possible that he was the person responsible for Lady Sneasler becoming... Well... A Sneasler. If he was responsible for her evolution, it would certainly explain why Ingo was allowed to become a Warden in spite of being an outsider to the Pearl Clan when they seem to have a distrust of strangers.

But thinking about it... Actually... Maybe every Warden has a deep tie to their ward like that. We obviously see that Palina was at least partially responsible for Growlithe evolving into Lord Arcanine. (Without a Fire Stone to boot!) But it would also absolutely make sense that Lian would have dug up some Black Augurite which was later used to evolve Scyther into Lord Kleavor!

The more I think about it, really the more it kinda just feels right that maybe the Wardens were selected at least in part because they played a role in their wards evolving and fully taking on their roles as Noble/Ride Pokemon. It would certainly help to explain the more odd choices the clans have made in deciding who becomes a Warden. Sabi being the one to level Braviary up until it evolved would certainly explain her weirdly OP team! And Gaeric is obviously the kind of person who would have leveled up Lord Avalugg. Perhaps Wyrdeer and Basculegion were trying to protect Mai and Iscan respectively when they evolved. And maybe Calaba had been collecting peat for medicinal/ceremonial purposes under the light of a full moon. I don't know what Melli and Arezu would have done to get their wards to evolve... Lian clearly has an interest in rocks, so it only make sense for him to have dug up some Black Augurite, but that doesn't really feel like that would have been the case for Arezu finding a Sun Stone and Melli finding a Leaf Stone. There might be a story there, but I don't know what it would be. The best that I've got is that in Platinum, both can be found in the areas that were once the Crimson Mirelands, so maybe those are just areas where those stones exist in relative abundance and can be found? Who knows? Fun to think about though!

So I told myself that I was gonna get better about using social media for both fun and to help promote myself. That has gone.. okay. But I am gonna try to make more of an effort.

On that note, I’m gonna be streaming this week. Tonight and Thursday at 7:30 pm (CT). I’ll be finishing up Paper Mario. After that, I have an idea for what I want to stream next. It should be pretty fun.

So yeah, I’m gonna try to be a bit more active on here. It’ll probably be mostly reblogging and my stream updates but I post about some other stuff too. Look forward to it!
