I'm wolfing out over here

This intro gets me so pumped up man istg

My microbes

And of course, the iconic "Tsume discusses his cannibalism plans in front of everyone" scene

"Anime food always looks so good!"

I love these scenes where they're doing something that reminds you they're wolves when they still look human lmao

The slow panning shot of Tsume disappointedly looking on with the eating noises in the back is comical to me

Don't compare all meat to hamburger Toboe, you're gonna sound American

Ok Toboe we get it, you like girls

Hige voice: Hey Toboe

Toboe: Hm?

Hige: Women 🥴

Toboe: Omg women 😍

The way Tsume calls them losers gives off middle school bully vibes to me and it's hilarious

Quick. What 2000s emo music would he have listened to? Sound off in the comments below

"It doesn't matter does it? We're always alone," just making note of this line because I like it

THE. BACKGROUNDS.

Has there ever been an edit where when Toboe steps on the Giant Murder Robot it just cuts to an explosion like it was a mine. Because I think that should exist.

It should also cut to the credits

Sorry, moving on

Counter of how many times Toboe says Tsume's name in this episode, but you just get to imagine it because I'm not going back to do it rn

I looooooove the Giant Murder Robot and I love how its existence is never explained

I need to know how Cher's "sacrificed her whole life" for Cheza, because with how Hubb adds their relationship as a footnote to that it sounds like Cher's been working herself into the ground for who knows how long

Cher, my existential crisis girlie, oh how I love you

Cher after talking about how everything she's worked towards in her whole life feels pointless: "So yeah. That's how I've been doing.."

Hubb: "... I know that I was just talking about how that guy was crazy but Wolves Are Probably Real"

I feel like there's some truth in Cher saying she doesn't want to think about wolves rn when this existentialism is very likely coming from her reading about the end times and all that fun shit, and I like how that goes hand in hand with her trying to get Hubb to stop talking about it when they're likely being watched. Good stuff

Part of the appeal of Hubb Lebowski is that he is a loser. It is vital to his being

THE. GOD. DAMN. BACKGROUNDS.

THE FUCKING SEA OF SKULLS IS JUST. WOW....

It says so much with so little. It's not dwelled on at fucking all. I love it

I love the atmosphere of this show. It's so vibes based and boy are the vibes GREAT

Hige trying to get backstory lore out of Kiba is so funny when he's Hige

Hypocrite much?

Kiba with pyrophobia anybody? Blue too while we're at it?

Wait can Hige read????? Where did he learn THAT??????

Oh my god the sign says there's mines so YES HE CAN

Brief intermission where I went to confirm my suspicions:

I've thought about this before actually. I need Hige to be the guy who has unexplainable knowledge and talents that the others don't have and they're like How The Fuck Do You Know That and he's like. Shrugs. Picked it up while I was about

Hige, you do not have to follow this guy around to the ends of the earth, you can leave if you want, it's ok (but we know he never will)

"You're covered in scars.." shows one scar

Sorry sorry, I know it's to be more animation friendly since extra floating shapes like scars can be hard on animators but it's still at least a little funny

Sound off, what are y'all's Tsume scar headcanons? Tell me in the comments below- (gets shot for using the same stupid joke twice)

They're like Kenai and Koda from brother bear fr fr

Brother Bear au when?

Ily Toboe

God. The shot switch to Giant Murder Robot looming over Tsume is so fucking awesome

I LOVE THIS SCENE LET'S GOOOOOOO

Kiba has a lot of badass moments but this has gotta be like. Top 5, if not top 3

Cher's home is so barren, and I have a feeling part of her knew she'd never come back..

Ohhhhhh, my overworked on the cusp of thinking existence is pointless girlie I love yooouuuuu <3

"Well don't get too used to it, kid," don't fight it Hige, no one can resist Kind Son for long

Something something wolves are social creatures...

My beautiful microbes

God.. these credits being the one with Kiba backlit by the rising sun after that episode fucking HITS

This episode had it all. Cher being depressed, Giant Murder Robot, Tsume being traumatized, beautiful backgrounds, Hige canonically knowing how to read and it never being acknowledged, Kind Son being kind all over the place, Kiba soloing Giant Murder Robot. 11/10 would Giant Murder Robot again

Wow! Here’s something incredibly personal.

This is Good Bi Gender. A comic I made to express some feelings I have about my gender. I don’t really have that much else to say about it. Here it is.

[Image Description: A digital comic made with sharp, angular abstract lines and only the colors white, blue, pink, and black. The featured character is all white, except for facial features and hair colors, which changes from panel to panel. The comic reads: Cover Panel: The text “Good Bi Gender”, the words colored with the trans flag. It shows a glitchy person’s face, half pink and half blue. Panel 1: White text reads: “Hello. My name is apparently irrelevant. And my pronouns are he/him and she/her. But you can’t call me she/her. And here’s why.” Someone with a half-pink and half-blue shirt looks to the side. One eye is covered with hair, and the other eye is pink while the iris is blue.

Panel 2: The character sits happily, imagining facial hair and a masculine voice. “I don’t want top surgery. I love my chest. And I dream about being on testosterone someday soon.” The character looks at a phone, frowning. The phone shows the male symbol with an “X” through it. Text next to it reads: “People don’t seem to think that the features I dream of are very pretty though… Or they think even worse of them than that…”

Panel 3: The character’s features are all pink, and sits in a blank frame. The character reaches over to a blue frame, frowning. “I don’t like the animosity. I really despise it.” A photo of the character shows an all-blue frame and blue hair, with pink outlines and facial features. “To be a boy… I aspire to be one. I aspire to be masculine in all its handsomeness. All its prettiness.” Panel 4: The character sits in an all blue panel, but reaches back out to the pink panel. “And I’m still a girl too. I was so excited to have both. To love both. To have handsome femininity. Beautiful masculinity.” The frames break and connect, and pink and blue swirl together. The character smiles in between the frames, with one pink eye and one blue eye. “So excited. And yet I get asked…”

Panel 5: Two hands hold out two different pills to the character, one blue and one pink. They ask “Male? or Female?” using the male and female symbols.The character, facial features an array of pink and blue, looks between the two hands, distressed. “It’s both! I’m both! They’re not opposites. Not narrow boxes. I say I’m both despite the insistence that I can’t be. And I know what I look like. I know I look like a girl to most. I know that if I say people can call me she, that’s all I will get from most. Because it’s “easier”. It “makes more sense”. To have my masculinity, I am often forced to be unflinching in it and it alone. To never use she. Because if I don’t, I will never get to have he.” [The words “she” and “he” are italicized.] Panel 6: Text reads: “I’m still very happy to be so comfortable in my identity. To know, despite all that, that I am indeed a boy and a girl and both. But you know. Telling people to only use he/him for me. Guarding my masculinity all just to have it. All at the expense of the part of me who is happily and unashamedly a girl.” The character cries from one pink eye, the other hidden. The character holds a pink girl in a sea of blue, the girl crying out. In the midst of the blue, text reads: “Well, it fucking breaks her heart.” End ID]
