“but do they have SOULS???”

Does each twin have half a soul? Is there one full-souled twin and one soulless twin? Did you know that in a lab you can cut a freshly fertilized embryo in up to eight pieces and they will all develop completely? Would this produce seven extra lab-created soul or one lab-created Lord Voldemort split seven ways?

And then we move on to the opposite problem: what about naturally occurring human chimeras, a pair of fraternal twins that collide and merge into one organism with the DNA of both… after fertilization. Does a chimera have two souls? Two half-souls that don’t match? Does one soul kill the other? Both sets of DNA survive, so what determines which soul lives and which dies? Does that make the surviving soul a murderer before it even develops a heartbeat, let alone awareness?

@taikouvember Day 1: Connection / Distance

One thing I’ll never grow tired of discussing when it comes to these two is how their closeness is being depicted throughout the series; from Taichi being the one who immediately bonds with Koushirou in football club, taking him under his wing and encouraging him to go to Summer camp with him (novel), to them being absolute “partners in crime”, enabling and supporting each other in the Digital World (Adventure 01) to eventually having their peak bickering couple honeymoon phase three years later (Adventure 02). Then we have a teenage angst period of “debatable closeness” (Tri), in which Taichi seems to be drifting away from everyone, including Koushirou, who wouldn’t have been able to come out of his shell and become a hands-on mentor without Taichi’s support - but in the end, even Koushirou isn’t fully able to get through to him. Taichi’s state of self-doubt and self-discovery may even result in him feeling inferior to Koushirou in their early twenties (Kizuna) - since the latter has basically surpassed Taichi in terms of (outward) confidence after all this time (even if his personal view on and adoration for Taichi may actually never have changed).

Inspired by Anita Sarkeesian’s Video Game Tropes vs Women, I wanted to pitch a Zelda game where Zelda herself was the hero, rescuing a Prince Link. 

Clockwork Empire is set 2,000 years after Twilight Princess, and is not a reboot, but simply another iteration in the Zelda franchise. It just so happens that in this case, Zelda is the protagonist. I’m a very big Zelda fan, and worked hard to draw from key elements in the continuity and mythos.

This concept work is meant to show that Zelda as a game protagonist can be both compelling and true to the franchise, while bringing new and dynamic game elements that go farther than being a simple gender swap.

2017 marked the 20th anniversary of the original airing of Revolutionary Girl Utena. exactly 20 years ago today, the series ended with the final episode “Someday, Together, We’ll Shine" 

Utena is widely considered one of the best, more influential, most interesting anime series of all time- it’s a little embarrassing to say, but in my opinion it’s one of the most incredible pieces of fiction of all time. it’s definitely important to me, at least. so i wanted to do something for today.

Ed totally forgot about that until Al oh so helpfully remind him while he and Winry were trying to choose a name for their first kid. Let’s just say that a wrench and a gun have to intervene to avoid a fight.

Right after the birth when friends and family were meeting the baby and congratulating the new parents Roy quietly entered the room and offering the kid a finger he said two simple words: Hello, Maes.

When Winry got pregnant again, Ed promised that if they have a daughter he would name her after his and Al mother.

Everyone was expecting that and were really confused when they learned that Alphonse also wanted to have a daughter named Trisha and the Elric’s only smiled when someone asked them if it wouldn’t be confusing have two girls named the same.
