Black Paladin!Shiro 4ever bitch!

#me at the slightest inconvenience

was she the first hunter to discover this??

like, sure, past hunters wielding bows might’ve had an infinite quiver of arrows, but I doubt they thought to re-direct the arrows *mid-air* by using the Honmoon as a kind of surface

it’s another credit to what a creative fORCE she is—not only as lyricist—just operating on a different mind level than the other two…

and I hAD to investigate #DoubleJump

from all her fights—including the train sequence—she is shown to be jumping off of various demon heads / other surfaces

there is ONE noticeable moment that can be read either way:

like, yes ok from an animators perspective, the honmoon is lit up to show demons tearing through it, and it IS on the side of a wall she could be making contact with instead.

on the other hand… 4 steps on the side of a vertical WALL?? there’s parkour, and then there’s gravity operating differently for her…

even if you don’t accept that headcannon, theres lots of canon evidence for the honmoon as a potential #DoubleJump surface

Derpy uses the honmoon to walk on air:

They literally floated… *googles namsan tower’s height*… 770+ feet into the air by the end with a fan-supercharged honmoon

I mean, this is actually my theory for how they survived that fall from the plane: honmoon sliiide

in conclusion:

For Mira, it's a weapon. It's a thing to make That Guy Over There Stop Being A Problem. And, as with all weapons, it's a way to extend her reach, make the space between her and her opponent their problem. She uses it strategically and tactically.

It's old-fashioned. It's modern. It's butch. It's femme. It's snazzy. It's practical.

Wikipedia talks about the bloomers and the leg-o-mutton sleeves, but I'm also noticing a lot of these outfits have absolute supervillain lapels, which I also like a lot.

Someone’s pretending to be me in an attempt to scam people, just so you know! I’m sure you’re all too smart to fall for something so obvious though, hehe

Also I haven’t done commissions in 8 years so… if a feef corners you and offers commissions, don’t let them take you to a secondary location.

Because we are predators, and Geese are prey animals with hollow bones, no teeth, and no claws. What they do have are wings to make them look bigger and a fuck off attitude. That attitude works on most people apparently.

But it's still funny that people are scared of them, because like... They're just not that big.

And "serrated" break is a bit of an exaggeration. It's ridged, there are bumps along the sides but they're made for grinding water plant stems, not chewing meat or anything. They have a pretty good pinch pressure, but of all the birds I've been bitten by, geese aren't high on the list of a threat.

But humans, as predators, want to avoid being hurt *at all.* Because an injury means not being able to hunt and not being able to hunt means potentially starving to death.

The best way to not get hurt by geese is to leave them alone and respect that they're living things that don't want to be messed with.

You are 100% right, I have never been chased by a goose, not once in 41 years, because I wouldn't run from a fucking goose, and it cannot chase you if you don't run.

Geese are literally just animals. Here is me with one of my friend's geese many years ago.

They are not evil, they are not mean, they are not out to get you. They are animals. They are prey animals. They are defensive of their territory, their nests (because how would you like it if a giant invaded your nursery to look at your sleeping baby?? would you be super nice about it?? Would you gracefully and peacefully handle just Some Guy you don't know coming into your nursery against your will to look at and pick up your screaming kid?? like it's not even unreasonable behavior, people are just mad because it's an animal and they have weird beliefs about animals all having to allow human interaction), and their mates.

but they are literally just animals.

I would never be chased by a goose, because I don't run, but also because I leave them alone. And the few times I have had to interact, I was polite and they responded in kind.

A mated pair with 8 goslings in the narrow road I needed get down? PRIME candidates for being the "mean goose" everyone claims exists.

Yet, they moved politely out of the road when I got out and shooed them to the side, and they brought their muppet kids over to say hello when I greeted them properly. I gave them a few goose-safe treats and went on my way. No chasing, no attacking, no biting. One of the parents hissed a few times, but still bowed back when I bowed first.

I saw a lone goose in an Aldi parking lot earlier this year, and I brought over a cup of water and set it down, then backed away. It kept its distance while I was setting the cup down, but waddled right over to drink once I backed off. Didn't hiss once. Didn't chase me. Didn't try to get me.

Like, it's literally so easy to not be hurt by geese. I'm not talking out my ass; I've interacted with or been near so many geese and I've NEVER seen an actually aggressive one- only geese being harassed by humans into a provoked reaction.

I'm sorry to the people who got chased by one as a four year old or whatever and never recovered, but that's a you and/or your parents problem for bothering or allowing you to bother wild animals. Calling geese evil and nasty and mean because your parents allowed you to act inappropriately around animals as a toddler is an anthropomorphization that continues a cycle of wildlife harassment, because people feel justified in harassing "bad" animals.

And acting like I (or others) only think geese are not mean because I've never been chased by one is an excellent example of having fallen for their defensive mechanisms, as well as an excellent example of the attitude people have about geese that leads to people harassing and consequently getting attacked by geese.
