One of the reasons I really like the style of Paranormasight is its attention to expression in the eyes. They're not static and locked to one facial sprite; the pupils can move independent of the eye shape and those shapes are also, I would say, more exaggerated overall.

Tried to make a thread but I realized it might need to go deeper than what I’m willing to write closer to midnight with work tomorrow. Maybe I’ll try to write a blog or something, but the gist is that it sucks being super sensitive to horror, and I don’t know if people who aren’t truly get it.

One of my favorite fun facts from Gintama. Just the contrast of Sakamoto living his best life and pigging out on heavy foods and Takasugi liking Yakult so much because he’s miserable.

I would like to ask if there is any food that Takasugi likes besides Yakult. If so, please let me know.

ANSWER:

Since Takasugi is always stressed and lives with his eyebrows furrowed, he instinctively seeks out foods that are delicate to his stomach, such as Yakult, yogurt and similar lactic-ferment based stuff. Sakamoto, on the other hand, is crazy about burgers, curry rice, ramen noodles, and the like.

Full body art of my OC Manisha, who is a character with a plant motif.

Sketch page showing Manisha smiling and saying “it’s fine,” admiring a plant, jumping for joy after winning a game with Lio annoyed by it, enjoying matcha ice cream, sitting and smiling on a roof top at night, and striking a fighting pose with black silhouettes of vines around her.

Thoughts on Class 2-B Hero Destroyerz

It's a little sad seeing people write Hero Destroyerz off as an outdated poop-joke manga, especially when its seen as a low-effort attempt by a legacy mangaka with special protections while "real" artists get axed.

I think it has a lot of merit. The story is working with concepts around leadership and insecurity, but most importantly, I'm seeing a narrative about cultivating an environment where you feel comfortable. That's what's set up with Kumon's initial conflict: not even the bathroom, a place of privacy and relief, is safe for him. Valaris III's whole motivation is to grow powerful and reinstate the rule of the demon king in a world where everyone and everything is against her. I think the school setting works to have this constant conflict of hierarchy and evoking experiences of in-grouping and out-grouping. It's a club of misfits without being cliche in the ways the kids find themselves down on their luck.

Honestly, I find the beginning of Hero Destroyerz to be a lot tighter than Gintama. I've watched the anime, of course, but I read the first 20 or so chapters recently, and while I was coasting in the early chapters, the chapter where Kondo is introduced was my true hook (same happened in the anime actually).

With Hero Destroyerz, I was hooked with Chapter 1. Then it fell off and got a little boring for Chapters 3 and 4 (2 kind of as well) and then I've been really enjoying Chapter 5 onwards. I think the expressions are pretty on point most of the time, and the quick-paced recurring character gags are the stuff I love. It's cozy. Frankly, I'd like it to get more unhinged. Chapter 13 was my favorite in terms of comedy, being a real highlight for having gag after gag after gag.

I've seen people say that people saying it's like Gintama are making excuses because look! Gintama is one of the best ranked comedies on MAL! People got the humor, Hero Destroyerz just sucks! And to that I say: that's cropping out the full picture. Gintama is ranked highly on MAL, but it's FAR from being actually popular in the West - you can even see that on MAL. For being a mainstream shonen that wrapped up in 2021, its numbers are WAY low. The barrier for entry is simply higher. Yes, there's a lot of episodes, but I think it's the hurdle of it being a raunchy comedy in the first place. If people don't like it, they're tapping out. And we know the reasons why The Final and Season 4 are ranked the highest is not primarily because of the funnies. Frankly, as a Gintama fan, I think some people forget that sometimes watching Gintama is like crawling through the trenches. There's some REALLY low stuff in there. And it's not as infrequent as I would like it. But it all pails in comparison to all the good it has, jokes or otherwise. It's a show that only gets better, and it's with my hope that Hero Destroyerz is able to play out in JUMP.

I don't need it to be Gintama. I already have Gintama! A lot of it! We've been fed well. I never had the expectation that Hero Destroyerz would surpass it because very little of anything surpasses those highs for me. Personally, I'd like to see a little bit more heart in Hero Destroyerz. It has less of a feel-good setup like the Odd Jobs had, but we have these little glimpses of heart like at the end of the last chapter that I'd just like to see pull through. Get its own "you guys are heavy" moment.

Also more Kaichou. Give me more Kaichou please. BENCH SASHIMI FOR TWO SECONDS GIVE ME KAICHOU PLEAS HE'S STARVING IN THE CORNER!

Posting my Artfight attacks on here late but here is Lio and Manisha for @ruthieweber.bsky.social (characters belong to her) #art #artfight #artfight2026 #artfightattack

Lio (left) - white hair with black ends, tied up in a yellow ribbon on his left (our right) with loose pieces of hair on his right (our left). Wears dark grey and black robe with red and yellow accents. He is smiling while decorating a very messy birthday cake.
Manisha (right) - short dark green hair styled like a bob/flower shaped with a flowery looking horn. Wears a pink jacket with green accents. She is looking at Lio in shock.

The scene depicts both characters at a counter with various baking ingredients shown: flour, sugar, eggs, cracked eggshells. As well as a pale mint green birthday in the middle that is lopsided and falling apart. The cake has sloppy icing letters spelling out “happy birthday” and a pink candle that is lit and falling over. Lio is decorating the cake with rainbow sprinkles and smiling at his work, while Manisha is holding her hand up to her face with a shocked expression

Happy to finally show the art I did for this collab! This was a really cool project to be a part of, and you should check out the other cards on the website!! #oc_tcg_collab

Trading card featuring my OC Amanda sleeping and snuggling a stuffed teddy bear on the floor. Her ability is “stitched with love,” which says “when on the field, Amanda can use the ability of any OC in either player’s graveyard once per turn. Each activation, exchange 1 ethics for 1 companionship.” She has 5 Intelligence, 3 Ethics, and 1 Companionship. These numbers are more character building than they are actual gameplay elements.

Love Hero Destroyerz but it needs more Kaicho. So many scenes with him just standing with everyone else after aura farming for his introduction. I get that he can only open and close curtains, but I'd appreciate more of his banter.

I was inspired by a dvd preview for the stage version of Bring It On which described the routines as “breathtaking displays of human fireworks,” so that’s why she’s a cheerleader

Got to say that the Gnosia anime has some of my favorite uses of an ED ever. For any show, OPs tend to be more visually impressive, but EDs have a lot of power in saying goodbye to an episode and I think Gnosia understands that so well.

This is technically spoilers, but I’m such a huge fan of how fucked up the dad is in Kyousougiga, especially in this scene.

“You okay?” Says the dad from Kyousougiga to a dead kid.

The dad asks his wife “you said you liked kids, right?”

The dad says to the boy “also, it’d be great if you could be our son from now.”
