Art Imitates Art Or Sum Idk

No Zionists on my page thank you

I just look up Ambrosius and Ballister's swords since I am not the most well versed in weaponry and all, and guess what, even the swords has parallels going on too. I don't know if anyone pointed this one out but it is really interesting, not much foreshadow but fun anyway. Eh, spoilers warning if you haven't finished Nimona yet, go watch it pls its scrumptious.

Im gonna start with Ambrosius'. His sword is called an estoc, a stabby sword. Nice pointy tip right there, ready to skewer through amours right. And with Bal, we have a chonky, chop-chop broad sword with sharp sides and a triangular looking tip. Suitable to cut through, as opposed to the estoc. They are, once again, the polar opposite of eachother.

But it does not end there. In the course of the movie, these two swords were at least once used with completely opposite intention. The elegant estoc was used to disarm Bal, while the broad sword was used to stab through Nimona as Ambrosius! And the fact that it was used on both of them (well, supposedly)! My oh my this movie is incredible.

Moira and her damned roommates

my neighbours must be having rlly good bang

The poetic cinema of Kotetsu’s powers timing going down and that actually saving his life.

I’m thinking about this again. How cour 2 is the narrative but a sequel, going into familiar beats and going ‘haha you know what happens, you watched season one you can probably predict how this is gonna go’ and then.

And then actually no, the thing that made Kotetsu ‘not enough’ as a hero, the thing everybody thought is going to be his downfall, him not having the hundered power for five minutes, is actually what saves his life?? (AND BUNNY’S???)

It’s really something something about failure not defining you but also sometimes, sometimes it’s good that your power doesn’t last as much as it used to. That thing you thought might be your downfall actually saving your and your partners life at the last minute.

alll of Erik’s helmets are stupid imagine if he wore that dumbass helmet on a hot sunny day he’d get a sunburn in the shape of dick on his face

tell me im wrong tell me it doesn’t look like a dick

also the helmets are just so ugly <3

NSFW! when i first got this ask i was like no... surely not..... why would you even say that....... but i looked at his helmets and i couldnt stop thinking about it so i did actual science and. well. it's not looking good folks,

so i rated them all by how much they would look like a dick if he got sunburnt my poor baby :( why are you making fun of him :( he doesn't know :(

in the corner i compare his helmet to mandalorian helmets and if he put a visor in there it would literally be a mando helmet🥺🥺🥺 this is my plea for people who write star wars aus to please please make erik a mandalorian and have charles be a jedi and they fall in love🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

Day 4: Arthur's secret phobia

I think he is afraid to dream a little bigger

Jokes aside it must be something that doesn't come up much in their line of work because obviously a weakness like that would be exploited, hard. Fear of peanut butter sticking in your mouth maybe? Heard it's a thing.

hi! you probably get this a lot, but I got into the series just about a week or two ago and watched everything they had on netflix, i loved it a lot! i want to look at more but I'm like... 11 years late to the party and it's kind of overwhelming and confusing. where should I start? what sort of stuff is there beyond what's on netflix? (sorry if this is a silly question, but i figured you would know a lot!)

thank you, have a nice day!

Hi! No worries, it's not a silly question at all, there's a lot of content out there! I think it depends on how invested you want to get, because there's things like the shorts, the mangas, audio dramas, and even more supplementary stuff like the novels and interviews from characters/cast/staff. I'd recommend starting out with the shorts and mangas first and see how you feel from there!

Shorts: The Side Bunny short takes place between episode 13 and 14, Side Tiger short takes place after episode 25, and the Too Many Cooks Spoil the Broth short takes place after the Rising. You can download all three of them from here, provided by coolboxofcandy!

Manga: There are two main ones. Tiger & Bunny: The Comic by Ueda and Yoshida (read here) which follows canon and depicts new stories that take place early in the anime and up to the Rising. If you only read one then I'd say go for that one! Tiger & Bunny by Mizuki Sakakibara (read here) on the other hand is a little bit of an AU story, as it largely follows Barnaby's perspective and diverges a few chapters in. Both of these mangas are completed, but the Ueda manga is still in the process of being fan translated. And while the Sakakibara manga is available online up to chapter 25, it has been localized so you may have to end up purchasing volumes 7, 8, and 9 if you'd like to read the rest. Also, starting this month we'll be getting sequel mangas to both of these with season 2!

Then there are the two oneshots by Katsura (character designer) and Nishida (head writer): read here and here, and they take place sometime between episodes in the anime.

As for the rest of these, they aren't really necessary materials, but they are canon and very fun.

Drama CDs: You can download the audio thanks to coolboxofcandy here and read the translations on the Wiki here. Expect lots of shenanigans and different pairs of characters getting their share of the spotlight!

Novels: Excerpts from the novelization of The Beginning part 1 (generously reuploaded by T&Bftw), part 2, and part 3; and The Rising excerpts here. These follow the movies through the characters' POVs and gives insight to their thoughts, which the audience isn't privy to hearing in the series itself.

And interviews/etc! There have been a lot of these. ThisIsSternbild has a good collection of translations to get started with, and the Directory on this blog has a variety of other bits of translations and other miscellaneous events. Monthly Hero in my opinion is another fun one to read, as that information is from the booklets that came with the Limited Edition Blurays so they tend to relate to the episodes they came with.

Beyond all of those, I'd say it's just a matter of reading or clicking through to whatever else sounds interesting to you! Sorry this was so long, but I hope it helps! And feel free to ask if you have any more questions :)
