Little-chaos-arts - Clubs Are Rough

HAPPY LAST OFFICIAL ITAFUSHI FRIDAY 😭😭😭

Will still be doing it every Friday but like this is the last one before the manga officially ends on Sunday so this one is extra special 🩵🩷

Little comic about an idea that has been stuck in my head since ch 267.... The gang goes to the movies!!

I really enjoy thinking about movie nerd Yuji and the 'Everything Everywhere All At Once ' parallel in ch 267 had me thinking about this....

Feeling that so much right now

when i was a teenager it felt very revolutionary to be cruel to myself. like some kind of slow passive protest against how much everything hurt. i starved myself of sleep and food and tenderness because it felt right. it felt sharp and angry and radical and i wanted to be those things. adulthood is the realisation that the world is already working to cut into you well before you learn how to do it yourself. caring for yourself and others is the real protest

Little Yuji Sketch (a bit late) for his birthday! ✨

Oh yess the angst of self sacrificing idiots! That's what I'm here for!

Okay this random soul eater rewatch while I'm sick turned out to be wireder than I expected.... I remember having to ignore a lot of oversexualised stuff but some scenes almost physically hurt now that I watch them years later....

I just wanted to know if the cool world building and character interactions held up and I think I remember it getting better as the anime went on...but damn..... that really makes it harder to watch than I hoped....

Manifesting a NobaMaki hug for the next chapter (I know it will probably not happen but a girl can dream!)

Finally watching the Barbie movie tonight!

With some people from our DnD party, so I thought I could share this Barbie meme redraw here too!

My character Dellynn with Harald and Askima in the other slides.... The meme is actually really fitting to how we met in the campaign. We were caught in Eisenteich to be fed to the vampire prince of the town...so a scene like this could have happened!

This articulates so many of my thoughts! This rushed ending really made me wonder what might be going on behind the scenes.... I don't know much about the industry and don't want to speculate too much, but I found it weird that he had a hiatus and then the ending came so soon....

I really don't know what to expect from the ending and maybe that's better, going in without clear expectations....

I guess I'll have to wait....

Honestly, considering how Gege is treating JJK in interviews and talks about it and the characters i also doubt he will continue it

Again, JJK as we know it now is NOT what Gege intended for it to be

He changed a lot of things to please a editor of his and ended up with a complete different story and had to adapt characters to fit the new concept

Yeah, I know those interviews where he wasn't pleased with his first editor he had right before the JJK serialization and at the start of it. He did have to change many things because that editor didn't think his original ideas would work. In a recent Q&A he talked again about the changes JJK went through at the beginning before the current characters and storylines were ultimately decided on.

Those original ideas included having Megumi as the main protagonist, him being possessed by Sukuna, the story starting with a Culling Game like setting and other things.

To say though, that because Gege didn't/couldn't start his manga like he wanted to means he would be glad when it's finally over now... that sounds a little ridiculous. It's like saying Gege doesn't have ownership or love for his own story and chaarcters and that's... not something that I ever got the impression of.

In his last interview he talked openly about how he changed things to make the story work better. A bad editor at the time of course would've soured that process but with a good editor changes like that would've happened anyway. Look eg at the original concept of Demon Slayer.

And in the end, Gege still got to implement the ideas he had. Megumi still got possessed. The Culling Games were realized. From what I remember, the things Gege regretted in the story are bad buildups and that he didn't manage to have Yuji and the real Tsumiki meet once.

On that note, if we go with "he couldn't write the story he wanted to", a JJK Part 2 would actually be something he could look forward to in that regard. Starting everything with a fresh chapter 1 with editors he actually gets along with, he can write the story as he actually envisons it. I guess, but I have no idea about the actual industry machinations here, that he could negotiate better pay and the like for himself as well.

Of course that doesn't mean JJK 2 is guaranteed or something. Gege could love his story to bits and still not make more of it but ultimately we'll see that next week (or next year if we look at other manga that got a sequel where they waited some time before anouncing anything)

sometimes media sciences is very serious analysis of themes and motifs in movies. Sometimes it's discussing whether or not the terminator has a penis.
