Hide Your Kids, Hide Your Wife, Hide Your Husband (from Jin Guangyao)–3zun’s Gonna Run This Town,

I don't think fic writers know how much they matter

Do you know how many times you distracted me when I was hurt or lonely? Do you know how many times a line or a scene from fanfic marked me so much that I remembered years later, even though I can’t recall my own phone number? 

Even if the fic isn’t perfect or popular or multi-chaptered… Sometimes there’s just one sentence that changed me.

You, miles and miles away, changed me.

Ok, so I am currently rereading the Legend of Eli Monpress series, and I had a thought. How do they eat? Everything in this series is supposed to have a soul, a spirit. For the majority of the series a lot of the spirits are asleep and not everybody can hear the spirits anyway, so I can understand the humans eating fruits and vegetables and meat then, but after Spirit’s End (spoiler alert) all the spirits are awake all the time and all the humans can see and hear the spirits. So how do people eat? The animals of course are fine, predator, prey, etc. But how do humans deal with being talked at by their crops, or their fruit, or even their livestock? Even if the livestock don’t really have much to say. Do the humans ask permission? Is it ok because of the whole cycle of rebirth thing? I really need to know the answer for this because it’s really bugging me.

It’s relatively popular so you might have already, but in case you haven’t: 

If you like BNHA / Boku No Hero Academia / My Hero Academia then you should definitely watch Tiger and Bunny

It’s the spiritual 2011 precursor to BNHA in that it is a modern, self-aware, intelligent play on the superhero genre with a cast of unique and likeable characters and interesting world building. 

It’s basically the world of BNHA but in reverse. When I first watched BNH I said “this is literally Tiger and Bunny but with school children and more powers”. Tiger and Bunny is like BNHA but with a cast of adults instead of teens. 

People with powers are called NEXT, they make up a small percentage of the population, were seen as anomalies and hated until a man decided to make them into reality TV show stars and profit off broadcasting their heroism. Now superheroes are superstars, and the anime was funded specifically by ad revenue for REAL companies that they have on their suits, but with an in-universe explanation. Clever. 

The main character is Izuku Midoriya if Midoriya were a hot dad. 

Not kidding. 

The main character is Kotetsu AKA Wild Tiger, who’s the only hero who seems to truly believe in real heroism instead of the capitalism it feeds. Though people at first think he’s outdated and idealistic and a little stupid, everyone in the cast is basically in love with him by the end of season 1, and he’s inspired all of his fellow heroes, ESPECIALLY his partner, the prettyboy Batman Iron Man pastiche, Barnaby (who Kotetsu nicknamed Bunny), with whom Kotetsu shares a superpower.

There are lots of other great cast members too, INCLUDING A SUCCESSFUL AND WELL-LOVED QUEER CHARACTER WHO HAS AN EMOTIONAL CHARACTER ARC IN ONE OF THE FILMS

The plot of Tiger and Bunny follows Tiger being paired up with Barnaby after his own agency goes bankrupt. Barnaby, meanwhile, is the only superhero without a secret identity, who’s actively looking for the man who murdered his parents. A man who’s literally The Joker. He even has a Harley Quinn. 

THEY EVEN HAVE A KILLER WHO BELIEVES HEROES ARE HYPOCRITES AND NO TRUE HEROISM EXISTS ANYMORE EXCEPT IN ONE PERSON AND ALL FALSE HEROES NEED TO BE TAUGHT A LESSON. SOUND FAMILIAR?

Yeah his name is Lunatic and he’s literally Stain the Hero Killer if Stain weren’t a human ninja turtle

You may also have noticed the ridiculous number of BL / Yaoi doujin dedicated to this anime and its two main characters. Which is actually how I got to watching the anime in the first place. Because they’re all really ridiculously beautiful. 

Which is unsurprising considering their relationship, which half the creators have stated can be read as romantic. 

But it sadly isn’t shown to be onscreen. Yet. Maybe one day.

It’s two seasons long plus a couple of movies (the movies have a different art style but are still mostly worth watching), and there have been teases of films and a third season recently with the still ongoing success of superhero shows, including BNHA. 

IN SUMMARY: WATCH THIS SHOW. IT’S VERY GOOD. THE DUB IS ALSO EXCELLENT, ONE OF THE BEST. 

EDIT: It’s on Netflix but the Netflix version erased their suit ads so it just looks weird and removes a large part of the world building. That said, I think you can also watch it on the VizMedia site with the ads? Either way, just remember that, if you watch it on Netflix, they’re supposed to have advertising on their suits :))

Edit 2: The subs apparently have more nuance than the dubs! Especially when it comes to the smaller LGBTQ+ aspects of the story. So the subs are more recommendable. I enjoy the dubs simply because I prefer dubs when they’re good and the dubs here are excellent, but it’s worth watching in either form. 

GOD star wars: the clone wars (2008-2014) was the absolute fucking BEST. u do absolutely not anymore buckwild than insane range of emotions that seven seasons can put u thru. obi-wan commits a war crime in the first episode. anakin drinks a space martini. a sixteen-year-old decapitates four men in a single second and it is literally never mentioned again. anakin, obi-wan, and mace windu find SPACE GODZILLA and the entire jedi order collectively drinks We Love Peta™ juice, decide not to kill it, bring it to the capital city, and it breaks out (ofc) and kills, like, a half million people. sheev just hangs out in padme’s office for six whole seasons being, i dunno, evil and absolutely not a single person catches on. there’s a blue guy in a dope-ass big hat who beats every single jedi’s ass and they still only call him, “that guy in the hat.” darth maul’s been living in a literal garbage dump with eight legs for the past ten years. anakin endorses state-sponsored terrorism. padme once contracted the black death. the jedi order tries to prosecute a twelve-year-old for war crimes. maul is forcibly murdered two (2) times over and still lives for some bananas fucking reason. whenever anakin does something mildly risky the darth vader theme plays. yoda asks anakin if they’re friends. the jedi order tries to prosecute a sixteen-year-old for war crimes. a cartoon made for twelve-year-olds has a four-episode arc about government oversight of international banking. this all happens in the range of three years. this show is absolutely fucking nuts.
