Bowser Progress:

Saw One Piece Film: Red the other day with my wife and a friend. Fantastic film! I’d never seen a One Piece film before so it was pretty fun. I am caught up with the manga and occasionally watch clips from the anime. But yeah, it was really fun! Loved that it was a musical! Also, there’s a little something in there for the manga readers so be sure to look for that. :) I wish I could be less generic with this description but I really don’t want to spoil anything. If you like One Piece I can’t recommend it enough!

Me reading Bleach: Can't Fear Your Own World: So on a basic level, Fullbringers are actually manipulating the reishi within matter to change the shape and sometimes function of said matter. And Aura can take that to another level by changing matter on an atomic level. Neat. ...Wait, doesn't that just make them alchemists? Like, specifically the kind from Fullmetal Alchemist? ...Probably shouldn't think about it too hard.

every time i see a clip or a fanart of ichigo and asauchi-hollow-zangetsu, I want to see a friendship montage of them riding bikes and singing karaoke and sharing a banana split. let them have a little fun. i am not sure if asauchi-hollow-zangetsu is even capable of opening his mouth and it would honestly be even funnier if he can't. chad and orihime can be there, too.

This is one of the funniest series I’ve ever read. I can’t recommend it enough. One of my favorite series running in Jump right now, though it is close to ending. Anyway, this trailer is great. Perfectly captures the series. Go read or watch Mashle. 🤩

Progess on “The Mighty Bowser”

I finished the stand last night and have started work on the torso. I probably won’t be able to finish this until next week because of holiday stuff but that’s okay. Very excited to see the finished product.

My wife has been showing me the older Muppet movies on Disney+ because I had never seen them before, aside from Christmas Carol and Treasure Island. Definitely seen those. Now, after having seen both The Muppet Movie (1979) and The Great Muppet Caper, I am convinced the main reason these were made was so Jim Henson could flex his practical effect skills. Like, in both movies, there are scenes with Muppets riding bicycles. Like, HOW?! In the first movie it’s just Kermit riding a bike, but in The Great Muppet Caper they have the whole cast riding bikes! How are they doing this?!? I assume with strings or something but it looks so seemless!! These movies were made in the late ‘70s/early ‘80s! IS IT MAGIC? WAS JIM HENSON A WIZARD!?! (The answer is yes, Jim Henson was absolutely a wizard.) Anyway, these movies were both very delightful. The jokes were funny and I can’t stress enough how insane the practical effects were.

Man. I really just want to play Scarlet. I want to meet a bunch of new Pokémon and have a great time. Unfortunately, my double pack is getting delivered so I can’t play it right away on Friday. Got the double pack because my wife and I both love Pokémon. And this way we can trade version exclusives! Really should’ve ordered it for pickup. Oh well. I’m going Ninja Sex Party in concert tomorrow so that’ll tide me over. And if the games take a while to come in I can just watch the new episode of the Bleach dub. It’s been pretty good so far. I’m starting to ramble a bit, aren’t I? Anyway, I’m excited for Pokémon and I can’t wait! :D

i will die on the hill of inoue orihime being a good character actually
