cat: *purrs*
me: you are being punished. Please do not purr. I love you

do kids these days even know what endless 8 is

all you young anime fans with your attack on titans and your maid dragons will never know the sheer hell of the time The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya went in to a time loop story arc and made the same episode 8 times and broadcast that same episode 8 weeks in a row

they didn’t just air the same episode eight times

they made the same episode 8 times in slightly different ways

different camera angles, different shots, different outfits

eight times

eight weeks

the same episode

fun fact: queer people weren’t invented in the last century

Ok, here’s a weird thought: the more absurdly high the stakes are in dragonball, the less tension there really is.

Because like, IF the only stakes for this universe tournament were “winner gets a wish ”, then fuck it. I could see goku actually losing. I would genuinely not know how things would go. I mean, it’d be possible.

But because its like “ALL LOSERS WILL HAVE THEIR WHOLE UNIVERSE DESTROYED” i already know the ending. Goku wins and then tells zen oh that he has to spare all the universes or else they can never have another tournament. And zen oh had so much, so he will listen.

Theres like, no other possible ending that is consistent with publication needs and tone consistency.

High stakes do not equal better stories.

It makes me feel like, i don’t know, the tournament is not going to be the actual plot but spmething else. 

Like, i don’t know, mid-tournament it is revealed that a bunch of the contestants united against Zen’o because they want to save ALL the universes but that makes things worse somehow and the rest of the arc is Goku and everyone working together to stop this mess.

Hmmm like some kinda coup? That could at least be more interesting

this is the single most heartbreaking page in all of Fullmetal Alchemist and you can’t tell me otherwise

Me: why do I feel so sad right now
My brain: you're a human being with emotions and a lot of stuff going on in your life, on top of that you have a known history with depression which means sometimes you have moods that don't necessarily reflect your situation, and you've just got to be patient through the times when your contentment lies fallow
Me: no that doesn't sound right
My brain: oh shit then maybe we should buy like ten dollars worth of candy
Me: that seems right, that feels right, I'm glad we had this talk

Consider:

  • Victorian England: 1867-1901
  • American Old West: 1803-1912
  • Meiji Restoration: 1868-1912
  • French privateering in the Gulf of Mexico: ended circa 1830

Conclusion: an adventuring party consisting of a Victorian gentleman thief, an Old West gunslinger, a disgraced former samurai, and an elderly French pirate is actually 100% historically plausible.

It really just comes down to whether a given individual or group is looking for reasons to include, or reasons to exclude. Hypothetical groups like these can go a lot further than this, too.

OK I WANT THIS REALLY BAD SO I MADE THIS REALLY QUICK

I had a nightmare that Ted Cruz was elected president and his first speech as president opened with “Hello everypony”

I tried waking myself up so hard that I had a headache when I finally woke up
