Sailor Moon Texts 🌙 @isailorgalaxia
the most relieving thing to ever happen in the naruto anime is when Jiraiya puts his clothes back on and the innermost layer makes a clinking noise, finally reassuring you that people in the naruto universe are wearing light armor and not fishnets
and the other one tries his best to occasionally subtly confirm that indeed, he also wants to fuck. By wearing a sexy black suit.
“i’m really turned on by you”
“you fuckin should be”
Watching Code Lyoko is sort of surreal because of how much technology has advanced since this very technology-focused cartoon premiered in 2003.
the virtual world of Lyoko houses two artificial intelligence beings, one with fully human behaviors, and one with the capability to affect things in the real world that aren’t even mildly electronic. (episode 1, a giant teddy bear. why XANA)
Three children regularly fully digitize themselves to enter and exit Lyoko without any negative side effects to their mental or physical well being… aside from that time one of them fell into the “digital sea” and just. ceased to exist. Was there a body? nobody knows
XANA has taken control of trains, a government sattelite with a goddamn laser capable of targeting an individual person and pulverizing everything within a ten-foot radius of its target, (why does that even exist?) clouds of several different kinds of toxic gasses, a swarm of bees, the previously mentioned giant teddy bear, a living replica of one of the main characters, all with decidedly malicious intent. (plus that whole thing with William….)
But, it still seems to obey video game type logic, such as only deploying a limited number of minions, all with a clearly visible weak spot.
The heroes are always alerted of XANA’s activity, (directional vibrations on the ground in Lyoko) and always stop it, (deactivating the tower) in the same ways every time.
literal time travel, via the push of a button, voice command, automatic?? it’s really not consistent
but the gang’s computer whiz kid Jeremie’s personal setup looks like this
look at this dinosaur
and they all use freaking nokias
here we have Ulrich typing in Jeremie’s phone number, from memory, in order to alert him that an evil computer program has taken control of the electrical wiring in the school cafeteria and that they’re all trapped
There’s an episode in which nanobots cause an amnesia epidemic, (I think it’s one of my faves so far) and the next episode begins with Odd talking excitedly about downloading an MP3 file off the web
I haven’t gotten to that episode yet, but I distinctly remember Jeremie exclaiming “I just need a couple more bytes!” and Odd saving the day by closing out a game of Tetris that was running in the background
I remembered it wrong, Yumi was at the computer trying to save Jeremie after he convinced her to try and virtualize him (she messed it up because he didn’t bother to walk her through virtualizing someone step by step) and they needed “a few more bytes” of memory, so Odd plugged Ulrich’s gameboy into the system, which of course fixed the problem somehow. It was definitely Tetris though. He’d been up until 3am playing Tetris the night before. Tetris. Tetris saved Jeremie from deleting himself.
TL;DR: between the conflicting level of often nonsensical technological advancement, (how did a computer program just. make bees) occasionally awkward dubbing, (that was absolutely Ulrich’s voice coming out of Yumi’s mouth. yep. mm-hm. good) rare and often unsettling puns, and Odd’s hair, Code Lyoko is a surreal experience and I recommend it
But now you recall!
Look! Look!
They loves to play!
Rawr!
Their head is just one giant ball of floof!
I can’t even
How do they live? Being so cuTE??
Ugh!!
This has been a PSA. Baby cheetahs are everything good and pure in this world. Please imagine petting the floof head. Please feel better.
THIS.

I AM SO GLAD PRIDE MONTH II IS HERE AND ALREADY SO EXTREMELY BLESSED. #GAY SPACE ROCK WEDDING AND WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO HASBRO?!?!???
FIRST THIS!!!! AT LIKE LAST SECOND OF PRIDE MONTH
And then barely a week later we’re blessed with Rollercoaster of Friendship. The like, most blatantly gay special so far.
*enthusiastic squats*
THIS SPECIAL WAS SOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!
Firstly, I really do sort of like the freedom Equestria Girls has right now with the whole set up of the premise that they’re still doing their thing but also there’s now Equestrian magic swirling around everywhere and sometimes causes problems. The villain was eh, not nearly on the same level as the movies but that’s fine and to be expected and holy crap tbh, YOU CAN ONLY HAVE SO MUCH OF THAT BEFORE IT STARTS TAKING AWAY FROM THE WONDERFUL ARCS THEY’VE DONE SO FAR!!!
Still though, Vignette Valencia was a really good an interesting villain. Firstly, #cathartic that the villain in this special was an instagram star (I say that totally non-involved and granted there may be something going on there but this character was set up legitimately to feature the worst aspects of that) fajdlfksjdlkfjs. And then also secondly that through that premise they used it to address a very important issue and teach a good lesson that a lot of kids are sort of dealing with today, in particular, younger girls; of course also to be noted that THIS HAS NEVER BEEN SPECIFIC TO ONE GENERATION OR WHATEVER, but they used this example to make it more concrete because it’s more relevant. With the whole thing of her phone being possessed by Equestrian magic, it’s a very blatant point they’re trying to make about calling into question how much of you’re life you’re living legitimately. How much is lost behind a filter? What is popularity and how much does it cost? The whole thing behind Vignette’s motive was that she needed the “perfect” life– her personality was very much determined by what was deemed popular. She likely chose Rarity for the job not just because she posts good fashion but because she has a lot of followers, she makes note of that, she likely ignored Applejack’s application for an apple stand because she’s like never on social media. Point is, with the phone it was very well done how whatever she took a picture of, instantly disappeared and then she could edit it into whatever she wanted but what came out of that wasn’t real. She wanted to take a picture of a salad to have 10,000 likes but SHE COULDN’T EAT THE SALAD AFTERWARD! The thing with everything she took a picture of turning into holograms and her obsessive way she went about it all has something to say about the notion of popularity. She was obsessive with that notion that it became a matter of striving for some sort of arbitrary ideal of “perfection” and what was essentially approved by the masses. She was very vain in that she wanted the approval and attention given to her by the masses but in order to get that it required her to live a life that was disingenuous and that was ironically made concrete by the fake salad and later the Rainbooms. There came a moment later in the resolution where they sort of asked her, with her thousands of followers, if she was happy and she disclosed that she doesn’t even really have any real friends. There was a contrast there and talked about in full in the song how popularity does not equate to happiness because Vignette had that and she wasn’t happy– instead it shows the main 7 and they’re happy because they’re genuine. They’re being who they are and they have each other and they’re doing it together and they are honest and open and supportive– they’re legitimately happy and they didn’t need to strive for the approval of some faceless crowd or have to sacrifice anything or who they are to be that.
It’s an excellent lesson for everyone but also particularly important with kids growing up because in the search on how they will find and develop their identity there is a lot of pressure on them from that, like arbitrary popularity or the idea of “coolness”. (I’ve talked extensively about that)
OKAY, NOW THAT I WENT IMMEDIATELY INTO THE HARD-HITTING STUFF OF THE SPECIAL, NOW TO EVERYTHING ELSE!
There were some parts that were SO FREAKING FUNNY AND RIDICULOUS OMG FJJSJFKSMFKXDJF
Applejack just like, legit, not understanding or caring about larger social media culture is big mood jsjdnxmgjd 👌
THE FREAKING STRESS SALAD!!!! EIVKMXGMJDJFKVJDKRM
Fluttershy: …can I eat the stress salad?
OH– THE FREAKING PHONE– IT GOT SOME CHEEP AS MAGIC OR SOMETHING AND IT JUST TELEPORTED EVERYTHING INTO JUST A WHITE ROOM IN THE PARK ISJFJSKGKSKFKVDJ
Applejack: MASTER HACKER!
Their faces when they found out they were just in a room
All of them realizing if Vignette got mad and took pictures of the crowd of 50,000 to put them in there, THEY’RE PROBABLY GOING TO DIE. Pinkie Pie: SQUISH CITY!!! Everyone else: YEAH LET’S GO WITH THAT!!!
Rarity and Applejack realizing their sisters will be in that crowd: FReAkING oUT
FREAKING APPLEJACK AND THE OLD SECURITY GUARD!!! lsdjkfjslk
Applejack almost got arrested but then the guy realized it’s a “Fun Inspector” badge, and is all like, oh I’m sorry!! And Applejack is like, wait, and she like breaks trying to explain to him it’s fake and he’s all like– “OHH YOU’RE UNDERCOVER! wink! It’s been awhile since I’ve been fun-inspected!”
SHE TRIED HER BEST TO JUST EXPLAIN THE TRUTH TO HIM BUT IT DIDN’T WORK!
#I’M A FAKE COP BUT I CAN SEND YOU TO REAL JAIL!
LEGIT THERE WAS SO MUCH BLUSHING IN THIS EPISODE AND IT WAS SO GAY, THE HETS ARE S T R U G G L I N G !!!
Rainbow Dash’s and Fluttershy’s rollercoaster date was so cute and gives me so much life. THEY IMMEDIATELY LOCK ARMS!
Rainbow Dash wants to ride a bunch of rollercoasters and when they finally get to the big one she wanted to try, Fluttershy’s scared and Rainbow’s going on about how she doesn’t have to worry as THE FEAR sets in and Rainbow’s screaming at the top of her lungs to stop as the ride starts and Fluttershy has the time of her life!!!! sijcemckskfjsjgnsk FLUTTERSHY TEASING RAINBOW ABOUT BEING NERVOUS IS SO BLESSED!!!!!!!!!
This is so them– I love them so much omg– AND THEN RAINBOW WANTS TO GO ON MORE RIDES BUT CAN’T WITHOUT FLUTTERSHY!!! AAAAA kskgmskfj
I was devastated Fluttershy was the first person something bad happened to.
SUNSET “CATCH THESE HANDS” SHIMMER BACK AT IT AGAIN! Her and Twilight wanted to go play cute carnival things together, aww. ALL OF THE GAMES WERE RIGGED THOUGH and Sunset wanted to be above it but Twilight was all like, come on, and they both wind up getting suckered in bECAUSE THEY CAN’T LOOSE!! SUNSET SHIMMER PLAYS TO WIN!!!! Also, Twilight needs to win, she’s too stubborn and they both get into working out all the math and science too it and spending all of their tickets and some of Applejack’s, Flim and Flam actually wind up feeling bad for them and wanted to give them the prize BUT SUNSET JUST YEETED IT– IT WASN’T ABOUT THE PRIZE ANYMORE, IT WAS PERSONAL!!!!
Vindictive girlfriends getting way into into it slkdjflkds
THE RARIJACK THOUGH HOLY CRAP– the Rarijack was so strong in this special. Literally the entire thing centered with them– they didn’t tell the rest of their friends about it but they were looking to get a job together at the fair and then Applejack got really jealous and also offended Rarity was hanging out with Vignette at the fair instead of her, but she was also trying her best to be supportive omg. There’s some conflict, then of course evil megalomaniac later– Rarity realized what was happening and she makes up with Applejack and they have literally the sweetest scene!!! Rarity: “STOP FLATTERING ME! I’m not finished apologizing!” #CARAMEL APPLE GIRLS TILL THE END!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also omfg, I– just like how fiercely they are there for each other and the moment any one of them is threatened, they immediately stick up for each other and trust each other– idk I had to gush? a little lol REALLY THOUGH– Rarity was so badass in this special at the end there, I love how the main 7 now are basically just full on super hero magic girls now!!!! Pinkie: “Why are they clapping? Do they even know what’s going on????”
hhhhhhh I WANNA MAKE A FULL POST ON ALL OF THE GAY HERE BECAUSE HOLY CRAP THIS WAS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Literally all of my favorite ships. ;u;
THE SONG THOUGH HOLY CRAP– THE RAINBOOMS DID A ROCK BALLAD AND IT WAS SO GOOD!!!!!!!!! Really for their first rock ballad it was legit such a gay mood omg. THE ENTIRE THING WAS A DUET BETWEEN RARITY AND APPLEJACK SINGING ABOUT THEIR RELATIONSHIP!!!! Also it was just so beautiful and really well done I HAVE FEELS! “’Cause it’s you. And me. This is how it should be.” I JUST REALLY LOVE HOW IT ENDED ON THIS SONG! And I’m just going to put this line here because it’s really good and important and I love it. “The whole world stands before you Full of things to see Pay attention or you’ll miss it Life’s best is always free Don’t lose sight of what’s important Give more than you can take There’s so much to strive for So many friendships you can make“
Anyway, expect more gayposting to come~ THIS SPECIAL WAS SO GOOD!
G E Y
Okay, one more because it’s really good.
THEY FINALLY WON ONE OF THE GAMES!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH LKFJALKFJASDHKGALDKHADLJHG It took freaking Rainbow Dash. omg
i literally procrastinate talking to my friends like it hits me “oh shit i havent talked to that friend in a while” and im like “yeah ill have to do that later” and then i dont
So as some of you may know from this older Rarijack post of mine about the Rollercoaster of Friendship special, I really love these two background characters from Equestria Girls who are so obviously a couple! IÂ grab screenshots when I can because the staff keeps showing them together in really adorable moments, and they had so many good ones in this special.
They’re just so cute they deserve it!!Â
