Do you even milkshake, bro?

creepy, is this stalker just somehow able to search and look into Everyone’s old personal posts simply using keywords that are “sexual” like bra, panties, girl, sex, etc.? So, how many girls and little kids posts do people like this guy spy on about kids talking about their underwear or simply parts of their body?!! 

And all done in the name of, what, trying to find really old posts people made that they think will “make them look like a ‘pedo’”.....

.....ya’ll guilty evil trash need to do better than that. I literally saved Everything I did and other people did with me online. So, even if those people deleted their accounts and messages; the message history, application save file, Html page, and the old version of the program that we used at the time, are all saved and located in a folder named Evidence.  Ya’ll just painting a “Guilty” sign on yourselves. And I can always just call the police or even turn myself in for the crimes Im accused of and take the issue to court because real bad ‘guys like you have made claim about me being involved in a crime.  The government Loves to make people go to court. If you think that your local judge and lawyers don’t care about You calling a random person 5 states away insults over the internet, then you don’t know the real world. If it can be interpreted as something legal, and if they have an excuse to pretend they’re working on a crime and legal trial, then the government will sapena any and every anonymous person on the internet and make them come to court for several hours to talk and clear things up.

Maybe I’ll find myself smiling on that distant shore Maybe I’m not alone

Ohh man. If you just take a look at my writing blog (or anywhere I post my fanfiction) it’ll become pretty clear pretty quickly how I feel about them XD So far all my Castlevania fics have been about the Tepes Family. Adrian and Drac are my favorite characters in the series!! (Though I do love pretty much all the characters in it.)

YES YES YES!!

They did an incredible job making Drac sympathetic and tragic. I don’t know if you know anything about the games, and granted, they couldn’t put a lot of story stuff in the games, but (at least as far as I’m aware) in most of them it’s like “ya, he was an evil dude who did evil things because he was evil.” So it actually would have been pretty accurate to the source to make him just an unsympathetic, irredeemable villain, but they didn’t and I LOVE them for it. Playing Symphony of the Night (Alucards game) after watching the series l was almost longing for that Drac I know and love from the series, (though it’s fun to see evil Drac too).

As I’ve said, I adore redeemable villains, and they did an amazing job with him, to the point where pretty much everyone in the fandom adores him, which is extremely tough to accomplish—even if you write a redeemable villain well, often large parts of the fandom don’t see it and hate the character. I knew that the point was that they were going to defeat Drac but I have to say, especially since I originally knew nothing of the games, I was hoping they’d save him by the end.

- .......It’s extremely disturbing how this statement was completely ignored by like everyone and their responses. I mean for fuck sake, this is literally equating a human being crying over the death of their parent as being “childish”. How do you people possibly think that’s something to joke about? -I mean I Know why you people do it, it’s out of your own fear and insecurity about the idea of Your Own lack of of maturity, so your try to project that onto others whenever you can, hence taking a line said as a joke out of context just so that You can be the one to call someone immature for a change. You’re just copying the behavior that you have seen and/or experienced, and therefore means also learned it in some way, even though you might not even realize it. It happens to everyone, it’s human, I’ve done, everyone does it, but it’s important to recognize and realize as harmful and wrong. Do your best.

-Recall how immature a person Sypha is especially around Belmont and Alucard. She was just joking, teasing her friends when she said that. Also, She never knew what happened to Alucard, that he cried on the floor twice when he was alone. She probably never would of said that stupid, childish insult if she’d realized what she was doing. 

lisa wasnt just important to dracula. she was important to alucard as well! she was alucards mom!!! her death was a turning point for both dracula and alucard. while dracula became a violent murderer who hated humanity as a result of her execution, it was her last words, asking for alucard to leave humanity be, that persuaded alucard to become a benevolent protector. dracula went one way, and alucard went the other. alucard is who ur supposed to agree with. the whole point is that draculas reaction to grief is unhealthy. its no excuse to hurt others.

and i think this dialogue illustrates that rlly well:

Dracula: You have ever been the ally of humans! Have you forgotten what they did to your Mother?

Alucard: Think you I would forget such a thing? No. But neither do I seek revenge against them.

Dracula: Still uttering the same nonsense. No matter. Now is the time to put aside your weak human side, and join me in remaking this world!

Alucard: Dracula, in the name of my mother, I will defeat you again.

dracula considers alucards continued sympathy for humanity to be "weak", even though lisa herself was human. hes lost sight of what he thought he was fighting for, and going against what she stood for

and alucard? he fights in the name of his mother, and what she truly wished for

Also, when you obsess over what someone Should be and how they should be treated based on subjective morality, you lose focus on reality and are at risk of forming a biased viewpoint.  People can Not like the Good guys and can care about what happens to the Bad guys. 

-“ tldr: stop using draculas grief as an excuse for mass murder “ ....I mean, that was Literally how the show ended, with Death planning to make Dracula in so much pain and grief that he would go crazy and kill the world, remember? It’s not “an excuse”, it’s very real and obvious cause and effect, Torturing people and making them grieve makes those people angry and full of hate.  By refusing to admit that Dracula was wronged, you’re Actually just helping the Real villains who cause all the problems get away with all the evil things they do. But you didn’t realize that, probably, because that’s how evil tricks people, by hiding and shifting the blame from itself to someone else. That’s how the true villains get away with it, by just hiding and not letting anyone know what they’re up to.

Lenore’s story, her purpose, was all done and fulfilled. There was nothing tethering her, not even Hector, now that he’s no longer bound to her. While she’s free of Carmilla and can therefore do all she wants, she doesn’t know what else there is to do. Lenore refuses to be kept in a cage, even if it’s with Hector, because she doesn’t want to be treated like animal; her dignity and pride won’t allow that. At the end of the day, she is her own being and has always been used to the freedom that was granted to her.

In a symbolic sense, you can say that Lenore was part of the “Old World,” the time of Dracula’s murderous rampage which then subsequently turned into Carmilla’s seize of more power. But now that both are gone, the world has entered a stage of change and healing. Unlike Striga and Morana who wants a “change” so that they can be together and face whatever the world may bring to them, Lenore doesn’t necessarily seek that “change.” It’s not as though she’s against it, per say, but she knows that she can’t adapt to this new world. Throughout the fourth season, she keeps referencing the past, the times before Carmilla’s (more public) obsession with power, when it was just the four of them with their “stability.” Those were the good times for her, the times when things felt right. But now there’s more uncertainty, more differences in this new world, and Lenore understands that it’s not for her. In the case of Hector, he needs change as well. As much as he adores her (whether you see this as romantic or not is up to you), Hector can’t cling onto her. Like Isaac, it’s time for him to begin his own story. And the first chapter -or the preface- is to let go of what tied him to the past.

“ But I think that it was better that she died. “  Looking back, that’s what the entirety of Castlevania centers around. The idea that its Better if people die, that it would be Good if people died. That’s what everyone in the show thinks about some person or people, and that’s the cause of All the true problems in the world.

In season 3, even though Dracula was killed bad things kept happening, and the show made it a deliberate point to have things Appear to be going well, but then quickly go downhill with everyone’s story ending with a huge tragedy.

It’s funny, I never really even considered whether the deaths of the characters I didn’t like was a good or bad thing. I just considered their deaths “necessary”, but never thought about if their death made the world Worse. Like Carmilla for example. She and her sisters community was one of the Last stable vampire communities in existance......and now it’s gone, leaving a power vaccuum and who knows what else in it’s absence. Carmilla was Literally the only vampire who stood up to Dracula to try and stop him from killing the world. Because of her plan, she killed and separated nearly all of Dracula’s soldiers from Dracula and his castle. If not for that the three heroes would of had little chance to even get to Dracula.....is it really better now that such a person is dead and gone? 

The point of the show seems to be to show what people Can do if they Live. By being allowed to Actually live life, all the characters grow and do amazing things. Belmont, Alucard, Isaac, Hector, Dracula, Carmilla: they all didn’t want to live, not really. Yet when they found a reason to live, they all were able to do amazing things and change so much in the world.

In the final episode of season 4, we are shown 3 stories about people who are “Supposed to be dead.” 1st was Lenore, and the only person who thought she was supposed to be dead was her, even though she was still alive. 2nd was Trevor Belmont, who willingly chose to die in order to save his friends and the world from death. Everyone thought he was dead, and Belmont had accepted that he should die for the sake of others......yet, everyone is miserable and sad that he is gone. And when it turns out that he survived by some miracle, everyone is happy about it. Showing how much Better it actually is when people live even if they Should have died. 3rd and last is Dracula and his wife somehow being alive and they dont know why and there is no explanation for how they came back to life......Yet, Dracula coming back to life, the thing people feared most and thought would end the world, wasn’t a bad thing. In fact it was harmless. Even though they had no reason to be alive, there was absolutely no reason to even worry about these two people simply living their lives in the world. The two people that everyone wanted dead were not dead, and yet nothing bad happened, the world didn’t end. 

Is it better if people die? No. But in reality we never get the chance to see what things would be like if the people we think should have died come back to life. Death ends all possibilities and there is no taking it back. People can Always die, so if death ever Is the right choice, then we can always do it later. There’s always time to die, but the time and chances people have to Live are limited. So that’s why life must be treated with care and importance. Because it is limited and can never come back. So we should hold onto life, as much as possible, always. And let go of obsessing over things that are absolute in life, like death.

To avoid confusion

I loved the 2003 Kino’s Journey series, so it makes me sad to say this 2017 reboot was the worst show I watched this season. But here it is. What else can you say when the final episode is the protagonist going on an extended over-the-top violence bender in order to annihilate the terrible threat of killer sheep and it doesn’t even have the decency to be funny?

Still, I don’t regret watching it, because it prompted me to rewatch the 2003 series for comparison, and it’s a pretty interesting study in how different storytelling and directorial choices can make or break an adaptation, which I’ll talk about a bit.

First, for those who don’t know, Kino’s Journey is the story of a young traveler named Kino and their talking motorcycle. Kino goes from country to country on a journey, never staying in a place for more than three days and has lots of interesting encounters along the way, experiencing the highs and lows of humanity. The motto of the series is “the world is not beautiful, therefore it is”. There was an anime in 2003 before this one came out.

Both anime series are based on a light novel series. I’ve never read the light novel series, so I can’t say for sure whether it’s bad choices and writing on the anime team’s part or closer adherence to the source material that made 2017 series so different from the 2003 one. However, word around the internet is the 2017 series is closer to the light novels. If that’s true, the 2003 series as an example of an adaptation really improving on the source material.

I think this series first mistake was allowing fans to vote on which light novel stories it should adapt. That made it inevitable there was no cohesive theme or narrative throughout this whole thing. The 2003 series was episodic but also had a narrative arc- we see where Kino came from at the beginning, watch them grow as a person throughout the narrative as they encounter different situations, then the series ends on a melancholy but meaningful callback to their origins and how far they’ve come. The 2017 series is just…randomly cobbled together. There’s no thematic resonance or narrative arc or character growth whatsoever. 

In the final episode the fight against the attacking herd of sheep does seem silly on the surface, but makes sense if you think about it. We’re even given an explanation about where the fighting sheep came from at the end of the episode. There’s nothing strange or unbelievable about animals being trained by humans to fight and be aggressive, in fact it’s common practice in the world. Animals that have gone through such cruel treatment learn to fear and hate humans and attack them because they are seen as a threat.

There’s nothing silly or laughable about people being attacked and killed by sheep just because they are considered to be an animal that is not dangerous. Neither is killing and fighting to survive, which is what Kino did against easily over 100 wild animals.

At the end of the day the journey through the world and life isn’t always exciting or well-paced or has a climactic end. The world just IS, and that’s it. How people choose to look at it has a great impact. You can choose to think about what happened as a linear story, or you can look at it as just a handful of events and only a very small glimpse of someone’s life with there being so much more that you Don’t know about. Like Kino says at the end of the episode, you can choose to say that the journey is over now, but later you can decide to start a new journey again just by choosing to do so.

It’s okay! I mean, it sucks big time cause I feel like a truck ran over me from the body aches but I’ve handled worse. I’m a WARRIOR!!! <333

ON TO THE MIGHTY MEMESS~!!!

ANIME QUESTIONS MEME - Accepting!

1. best anime you’ve watched

So for the record, I’m excluding “Avatar: The Last Airbender” & (2003) “Teen Titans” shows cause people consider them animes when they’re only anime influenced so they’re out. But, this is SO hard! It’s like picking my children, it just feels impossible to do! Though, if I HAD to pick just one, it would have to be…… ( 2003) Kino’s Journey!

Why? Well, let’s ride right into the world of “Kino’s Journey” or in it’s original title “Kino no Tabi.”

“ The world is not beautiful, there fore it is.”

Let’s start with the story, which tells of the journey of a traveler named Kino and their motorcycle, Hermes, while they visit a long range of countries as they meet different people along the way. The actual fact is: there isn’t one solid story but 12 short stories that link together not by episode order but by events. And yet the fact that each one of this stories manages to give a deeper meaning than the whole plots from many animes amazes me till no end! Kino finds herself in the midst of these societies - some of which have downright appalling practices. Each episode approaches a theme of society, like censoring, violence, communication problems, right or wrong, the ability some people have to bite the hand that just feds them, and so on. And every time I watch each one, I found myself enjoying this series more than I should have.  

As Kino travels throughout the world and becomes acquainted with the people who inhabit it, it becomes clear that each of her encounters is essentially a separate journey into the labyrinth that is the human psyche to explore one of the many elements that make it up. The issues touched upon in the series ranges from the tendencies of humans to blindly believe in prophecies to the consequences of not having a self-conscious.

There is a wide range of characters as expected from an anime that tells about travels all over the world. While some of them are forgettable, some of them also stay in your mind. Although it is clear that neither Kino nor Hermes is the main focus of the series, together they play an essential role in its series. 

In terms of being a likeable character, Kino has become my favorite anime character ever! They inspire me in so many ways and I’m always glued to the screen every time their role comes into play. Although they appear apathetic at first, they’re a caring and understanding person. Kino travels through different countries to experience their customs and understand the citizens, but they never stay longer than three days, as they’re afraid of settling down, and would decrease of being a traveler. They’re also intelligent, skillful, extremely wise for someone so young and still as unpredictable as a teen could be. Though not fond of killing, they will do so if necessary without feeling remorse. Especially, towards those who attack them or the innocent. Kino has truly become one of the most unique characters I’ve ever seen.

Hermes, Kino’s talking motorcycle, acts as the perfect companion to his owner. Not only are his conversations with Kino very enjoyable to listen to due to the his humour, the series also allows for further exploration on his character. I won’t lie that I found it odd that we were suppose to just roll with the fact that he speaks but as the show grows over time, you do learn to accept it and that’s not the most unusual thing you’ll be seeing in the series either. He’s also the closest thing that Kino has to a friend and it just makes their relationship heartwarming a lot of the time. In addition, considering the theme of the series is the nature of humanity, his presence as a non-human makes their discussions even more interesting. You have no idea if he’s truly real or just in Kino’s head. But, whatever the case may be, he’s a fun character to journey with!

The dub is honestly one of the best that I’ve heard and I’m usually REALLY picky when it comes to English audio in anime. It was done at A.D.V films, which are the people responsible for other great dubs like “Princess Tutu”, and they do an AMAZING job!

Kelli Collins voicing Kino was the highlight of the entire dub! Her acting glues you into her role to her character and you’re just amazed of how well she fits the Kino. Especially, giving the young traveler a sense of maturity to such a young teen. It’s a shame she hasn’t been active since then and didn’t return for the reboot of the series. ( Even though it was a disaster so maybe it was for the best. ) Kino’s voice actress succeeds as the perfect person to voice such a outstanding character and how she brings her to life. I honestly can’t even picture anyone else to play the role but her. Hermes on the other hand is a hit or miss with viewers. Cynthia Martinez voicing Hermes comes off with a cartoonish boyish voice who I could definitely see annoying it’s viewers.  But to me? It honestly works! The way Hermes asks certain questions and their responses makes sense that they act childish or ask very out-looking questions of the situations at hand. Not not say he’s immature. He’s actually the voice of reason but, Cynthia shows great promise with the role. And you’ll see why once you go into this series head on.

Overall this series holds a special place in my heart. It doesn’t have that nasty fan service or anything too over the top like a Shōnen show but, it helped me get a better understanding on how humanity works and even thinks at times. In life, we don’t know which path to take but that’s the journey of it. You just get up and travel to find out what’s up ahead for you. To see the world for what it is with all it’s good and bad parts. Kino searches for life’s answers, life’s questions, and the interpretations connected to them. Destination is a state of mind; Drift along for the ride~!

2. worst anime you’ve watched

Oh gawd, this is just torture! Just when I think I can finally be rid of trash like this I have to go back and look in the bin again lmao

Let’s see…. I think I would have to say…. “ Master of Martial Hearts.” Why didn’t I say the famous “School Days?” I could but I wanted to do a different hate this time since this one made me beyond pissed off! “School Days” at least had the main lead get what’s coming to him cause we all know the douche bad deserved what was coming to him so I was fine with the insane out come. But this? HELL NO!

I found this series out by amazing reviewer, JesuOtaku, back when Youtube was starting to get popular and I always agreed with her reviews. I’m SO glad I saw her review first before stumbling upon this nasty series. First, we got under aged girls, and women in general, getting their clothes completely ripped apart as they fight one another cause why not? Screw plot! And it’s just an endless scenes of just wtf??!! I didn’t watch the series but I saw enough of it through her long review. AND…what pissed me off the most is the ending. Dear gawd! THE ENDING! This series only has 5 episodes but once you check out the last one? It deserves two middle fingers straight at it cause F*CK THIS SERIES!! No seriously, don’t even check it cause it’s just horrible. Just awful!! It’s just the worst anime to me and always will be!

    18. favorite villain

This is gonna sound strange but I instantly KNEW who my favorite villain was gonna be and I couldn’t be more ready! When there’s a great hero there’s also a great villain. Out of the horrible characters did I choose? Johan from (2004) “Monster.”

“ There’s nothing special about being born. Not a thing. Most of the universe is just death, nothing more. In this universe of ours, the birth of a new life on some corner of our planet is nothing but a tiny, insignificant flash. Death is a normal thing. So why live? ”

–Johan

The story focuses on Kenzo Tenma, a young Japanese doctor working at the Eisler Memorial Hospital during in Germany the 80′s. He is a very skilled highly brain surgeon. However, Tenma grows increasingly dissatisfied with the political bias of the hospital for treating it’s patients, and seizes his chance to change things after a strange massacre brings the twins Johan and Anna Liebert into his hospital.

Johan has a gunshot wound to the head and Anna keeps muttering about killing. Tenma decides to operate on Johan instead of a politician who arrived afterwards. Johan is saved, but the politician dies. After this Tenma loses his social standing, lost his promotion, basically everything, and not soon after that the twins escape. The top heads of the hospital are found dead the same night the twins escape. Tenma is then promoted to chef of surgeon.

After that the story advances to nine years later. A known criminal is found on the street, hit by a car. He comes under the care of Dr. Tenma, who observes him muttering about a “Monster.” Tenma extends his kindness to that criminal, and thus the criminal begins to open up to his doctor.

Following his trail to the construction site of a half finished building near the hospital, Tenma finds the man. The man, who has developed a sort of doctor-patient friendship with Dr. Tenma, warns him against coming closer, and pleads with him to run away. Tenma refuses, however, and the identity of the man holding the gun pointed at the criminal in the abandoned parking garage is revealed to be the boy whose life Tenma had saved nine years ago - Johan Liebert. Johan shoots the criminal, tells Tenma that he could never kill the man who had saved his life, and then walks off into the night while Tenma is still too shocked to stop him. I’m not gonna spoil anymore to the plot cause it’ll ruin the experience but WOW! What a series!

On the surface, Johan is a well-mannered, charismatic and compassionate young man. He possesses a favorable of traits and can easily overwhelm individuals with his seemingly flawless nature, as others describes him as being not of this world. This makes it easy for him to make new allies and manipulate them into doing various deeds for him. With such skill in creating this facade of perfection and pureness, Johan can hide his true motives with ease.

Johan delivers destruction and suffering to those who happen to fall prey to his schemes. Johan exhibits psychopathic tendencies. For example, most of his murders, both in childhood and adulthood, have been premeditated and calculated.

Johan often shows a complete disregard for life by pointing to his forehead, inviting Dr. Tenma to shoot him.

He also has a tendency to make his victims experience the worst possible loss and suffering rather than actually killing them himself;

Everyone NEEDS to check out “ Monster ” cause it does not disappoint! Even just check out just for it’s villain and the amazing english dub! Trust me, it’ll be one incredible wild ride!

  20. favorite costume/character design:

My girl, Mina Ashido from “My Hero Academia” / “Boku no Hero Academia”!

“The old you’s not going anywhere with that emo look on your face! If you overcome that gloomy self of yours… let me know. Or else I’ll start spreading rumors about high school debut man.”

    33. most underrated anime in your opinion

Since I already talked about “ Kino’s Journey” & “ Monster”, I’ll decide another great underrated anime people need to see and that’s “ Princess Tutu.”

“ May those who follow their fate be granted happiness; may those who defy it be granted glory.“ - Miss Edel

In a fairy tale come to life, the clumsy, out-going, and gentle Ahiru (“Duck” in the English Dub) seems like an unlikely protagonist. In reality, Ahiru is just as magical as the talking cats and crocodiles that inhabit her town—for Ahiru really is a duck! Transformed by the mysterious Drosselmeyer into a human girl, Ahiru soon learns the reason for her existence. Using her magical egg-shaped pendant, Ahiru can transform into Princess Tutu—a beautiful and talented ballet dancer whose dances relieve people of the turmoil in their hearts. With her newfound ability, Ahiru accepts the challenge of collecting the lost shards of her prince’s heart, for long ago he had shattered it in order to seal an evil raven away for all eternity.

Princess Tutu is a tale of heroes and their struggle against fate. Their beliefs, their feelings, and ultimately their actions will determine whether this fairy tale can reach its “happily ever after.”

The title may seem off putting to a lot since it sounds like some girly anime but don’t judge a book by it’s cover~! This series has so much going for it and it’s honestly just outstanding! It may be predictable at the beginning ( Had the same trouble with the first season of “Avatar: The Last Airbender” ) but, it becomes something you just never expected; A complex and tragedy story.

You honestly feel for every single one of these characters once their parts are given into play. And the fact that they use real classical music that compliments the dance scenes so well done. You feel the dramatic effect once our main leads come into the spotlight. The intense just rises from the music and for the dubbing too. I said back in my “Kino’s Journey” part of the ask that this was dubbed by A.D.V. Films and it’s one of my favorites ever! It’s not just one or two actors that shine, every single person portrays their characters with flying colors. I was just amazed of how incredibly well done they did!
