I had seen her alter ego (??) around and gotta say that design slaps, at least from the waist up. not feeling the long skirt, but I think it's longing for wildly unnecessary 90s CLAMP designs like these. I'm not getting into "why are the scantily clad women baddies" rn. I just like problems women

also a weird sticking point: she looks more like a code geass character than anyone else in this series for some reason. Maybe the way her eyes are drawn?? idk. it feels like she teleported in from another show. I feel crazy

I feel like I had details of every major character, but I have heard nothing about this child, which means he's either awful or excellent, with no in between. currently feeling the former. begone

I've never felt fancier in my whole life

"thrift store" undersells the journey. they were at a holiday thrift popup in a beautiful church. it was mere weeks after leaving a bad relationship. I cried ~3 times inside and got really attached to a reindeer plush. the cashier undercharged me bc he was hyped I bought "the moose". moose pictured

I got beautiful glasses like the ones on the right at a thrift store last year for one dollar each, and now I find out, after my cat breaks 2, that they're from the 1960s and a set of 4 is like 80 bucks 🫠🫠🫠

I'm excited to meet one of the most legendary CLAMP men...they keep talking about him and I'm cursed with terrible knowledge (some vague outlines of plot). I know he would have rewired my brain if he'd had the chance when I was 11

FRINGE CASES: 1. arguably not man (boy), but being an older teenager in jrpgs is like being an adult anywhere else. pass 2. gray=/=silver. many problems to make up for it tho. still, fail 3. hair mostly white. also robot man hot, so biased. pass 4. disregard point 1. he is boy. fail

⭐️meg⭐️ @ascalon.bsky.social · 12/11/2024

these are not. 1. blonde 2. not man (boy) 3. problemless

regardless of my personal feelings on them, these are white hair problems men:

maybe it's just because I, too, bring a completely unwarranted and uninvited competitive energy to everything I do

card captor sakura thread: 🦋 edition (I watched a handful of dub eps but otherwise missed this one for reasons even I'm unclear on) today's take is: imagine hating meiling. couldn't be me. "weeeeehhh she wasn't in the manga" ohkawa wrote the anime, goofus!!!!!

Sparrowhawk/Ged from the Earthsea Cycle Ursula K. Leguin never has her protagonist overcome his anger or his arrogance-- he comes into his own by accepting he'll need to keep the harmful aspects of his personality in check forever. The only books about wizard schools that matter, and I mean it

Yuna from Final Fantasy X I can talk for ages about how much/why I love her, but the most important element for me is how she channels her grief into changing her world for the better, but also learns to care for herself and not let that service consume her. finally cosplaying her made me so happy 💖

more recent: my husband Jing Yuan from Honkai Star Rail.... extremely well adjusted for a meg fave. the juxtaposition of almost nonsensical gentleness with incomprehensible power is SO good, and the story keeps suggesting that anybody else in his position would have lost it years ago. pls view him

Sabriel from the Old Kingdom book series-- she's startlingly down-to-earth about truly horrifying concepts and experiences, but never acts like everyone else is stupid or cowardly for not having that capacity. I love her no-nonsense get it done attitude balanced with intense compassion and patience.

starting with the boy of all time, Leon Magnus from Tales of Destiny!!! Would be "engineered in a lab to please me", but he is the lab who engineered me. Viciously maladjusted prodigy, perfectionism-as-coping, whose abuse makes him distrust love and friendship? He truly is the blueprint 💜
