MATCHING ICONS FOR YOU AND THE SQUAD
everyone in the splatoon fandom knows the "you're a kid now you're a squid now" ad but did you know that there's more songs. thats not the only one
same sorta song but new lyrics and shit. I'm losing my mind. forgotten to time.
something something Cap’n cuttlefish is a victim of translation
And extra info about Octavio (I don’t remember the source)
Tired: Dracovish is a horrible, sad abomination, depressed or raging at the world that allows its horrific, painful existence and craving the release of death
Wired: In defiance of all scientific reasoning and the will of Arceus, Dracovish is inexplicably healthy and optimistic about its situation. As a fish with FEETS, it explores an entire new world above the waters it once swam in with "Wake Me Up Before You Go Go" on loop in its head.

Y por ultimo, tenemos a las algas que siempre estan de acompañamiento en el ramen y que nunca pueden faltar...Sorui! Él junto a Tamago se encarga de la atencion del cliente en el restaurante, en parte mas de tomar las ordenes y pedidos de los clientes mientras que tamago de entregar los platillos y bebidas a las mesas. Sorui es un chico tranquilo y amable, siempre ayudando a los demas y dando buenos consejos para guiarlos, a diferencia de sus compañeros, Sorui prefiere evitar el conflicto o el pelear, pero de ser necesario en caso de que alguien lastime a alguno de sus compañeros no dudara en usar la violencia. Tiene un apego y cariño hacia Maki.
Guys theres something wrong with my specimens...
NEW PIZZA TOWER AU, TRUCK MONTH
I think it’s safe to say that Chris Thorndyke is one of the most hated characters in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, which is… a bit odd, when you think about it. In a world of Ken Penders’s Daddy Issues Personified and Octopus Who Kills Children For Fun (the latter of which basically being a fandom sexyman), why is a twelve-year-old boy so polarizing?
It would be easy to chalk this up to the bad 4kidz dub, but I don’t quite think that’s it. A lot of the complaints I’ve heard can go to “he got the main character slot in Sonic’s show” or “I just don’t like the human characters,” which are valid, but pale in comparison to basically all I’ve seen being: “He’s just annoying,” “I can’t fucking stand him,” etc. That’s basically all I hear, and when asking why, it usually boils down to two things: 1) his extreme attachment to Sonic and 2) his status as a rich white american only child basically puts any and all of his problems at “first world problems” at best. Those also seem like valid reasons, right?
Thing is, while on the surface it seems like this kid has no issues, as a kid with a, how you say, rough childhood, something stuck with me when I watched the show for the first time. I remember sitting through episode after episode, wondering, When does Chris stop being sympathetic and start being annoying? Since, you know, that’s his reputation.
It didn’t happen.
And it slowly became apparent to me that a lot of the things that made Chris “annoying” and “obsessive”… were just obvious symptoms of a traumatized kid.
Join me for my thesis presentation: Chris’s “annoying” traits are not a writing flaw, but an intentional character flaw brought about by severe neglect, which is resolved through his character arc, and why the fandom reaction to him is so furious.
Note: Throughout this meta, we will only be looking over the Japanese version of Sonic X, as it’s the original script and 4kidz did not translate it accurately. So if you see some lines you don’t remember being said, those are from the English subtitles/direct translation.
Once again, it is possible (also likely, we’ll discuss that a bit) that the kidification and cuts to Sonic X did a number on Chris’s likability, but for most of the meta we’ll be discussing his Japanese characterization with only a few references to cut scenes or lines in the dub.
