The Admiral

I sometimes forget how Dedede isn't a villain and him and Kirby are more rivals than anything. He often gets grouped with Bowser and other Nintendo villains and the anime set an incorrect non-canon image for him but do I love how him and Kirby aren't true enemies. Even in the Smash Bros. Brawl storyline he's only turning heroes into trophies because he's knowleadgble about Tabuu is cooking up a plan to help save the day. He and Kirby get so many cute scenes.

Plus, god, do the cute scenes of them water my crops <3

one thing about me is i frickin love long ass youtube videos about the most random and niche topics imaginable. defunctland's investigation into who created the disney channel theme song? oh i was seated. a two hour breakdown on the lore of the entire tekken video game franchise? sign me up. a vlog about a cross-country roadtrip dining at every single rainforest cafe in the united states? i'm there.

to anyone who caught the sudden jump in audio quality from the previous ARB voice acting bit to this one it’s cause while i was setting up for recording this time i realized for the past WHO KNOWS HOW LONG, MONTHS PROBABLY i have been using EXCLUSIVELY my webcam mic instead of the EXPENSIVE BOOM MIC I GOT FOR THIS SPECIFIC PURPOSE and DIDN’T REALIZE said expensive boom mic WASN’T EVEN PLUGGED IN while i fiddled with it trying to fix the audio quality. the good news is that i don’t sound like i’m speaking from inside a garbage can anymore

“FMA is bad because it portrays war criminals as sympathetic, likable people” bro that’s the point. That’s the whole point. That is THE point. Did you think Ethnic Cleanser is some kind of special category of person that gets separated away from all the Good People at birth? Did you think there’s some kind of barn full of Genocide Doers that only gets deployed into the general public during world wars? Did you think assholes who do terrible shit in real life are never charming or likable or capable of doing good things and helping people? One of the best parts of FMA is how we the audience realize that some of our core protags have made irredeemable choices, and we have to reckon with the fact that they’re still people, with the unalienable rights and qualities thereof. Sorry if the Problematics aren’t constantly wearing a dunce cap and a list of all their crimes and this makes the media incomprehensible to you

i wanna date someone and live with them in a shitty apartment but be happy about it because we are happy together and we can decorate it with stupid dorky posters of shit we like and figurines and art and we can cook weird recipes we found on the internet and eat them and watch cartoons even if the food is gross because we made it and we’re perfect
