LOKI APPRECIATION WEEK 2023 | for @dailyloki Day 5: Favorite Loki’s clothes

Fun fact: I was going to draw a piece of Nick fury and Captain america, but fireworks were going off so loud that I couldn't focus so I said fuck it

Bro, with a bed like that. MUST BE NICCCEE

Has anyone noticed how genuinely fucking massive Ken's bed is?? 😭😭

Well you're in luck because I did and I got curious so I did the math because I'm insane.

First of all there's a lot of guesstimating when it comes to this because we don't know for sure how far the head and foot of his bed go off screen. I used the context clues that were in the screenshot to assume the relative size. The pillow in the top right corner indicates that the head isn't too far from the corner of the screen; whereas the covers in the bottom left indicate the same about the foot, leading to my approximation of where I think both would be on the left.

As stated in the picture above, the official wiki page for Kenji states in the trivia section that, "Ken is approximately 6 feet tall," meaning we're able to use him to measure the bed. His position in the screenshot is already pretty ok, as in he has one leg stretched straight out and his back is relatively straight as well. I did add a little bit to his height as shown in the screenshot, considering his back isn't completely as straight as it would be if he were standing up, that combined with the fact that his neck is also slightly bent, it just made sense to me. I then took the approximated outline I did of the bed and started measuring it using Ken's estimated height.

The length of the bed came out to be about 2 and 1 fifth Kens, which means it approximately came out to 13 feet and 3 inches, or 4 meters. As for the width, it turned out to be around 1 and 1 third Kens, meaning the total was 8 feet and 3 inches, or 2.5 meters. All in all, his bed is estimated to be 159 inches x 99 inches. Meaning his bed size is bigger than literally any available bed on the market, meaning he got this shit custom made most likely. I just wanna know what bro does in his free time like dude you live alone who you sharing all that space with?? 😭😭

THIS

Now, correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t the whole point of Netflix originals is to give people an incentive to sub to Netflix to watch a particular show or movie that they can’t watch anywhere else?

What is even the point of labeling something a “Netflix original” if it’s just going to get removed from the service regardless?

Yes, I am aware of the fact that Dreamworks owns the rights to Voltron, but it still doesn’t make any sense to remove the series from Netflix when it has been an “original” for eight years now.

If the Netflix exclusivity deal wasn’t a permanent thing, then they should have been upfront about that.

Anyway, keep buying physical media and keep pirating everything that never got released on DVD/Blu Ray.

This NEED'S to be talked about more.

WAIT!... One more thing... I made a homely little Clay Home... She fits in Wally's little back pack I got him! You know, for easy travel! Alrighty, NOW you will here from me later on!

sir Precious!!!

Just think about it makes me feel terrible because everyone put their blood, sweat and tears and did mental gymnastics for VLD, just for it to be lost and all for nothing

Content creation isn't as easy as it seems

VLD is leaving Netflix and I am so upset. What if VLD becomes ‘lost media’?

So I haven’t posted anything about vld on this blog, but it’s one of my special interests that I cycle in and out of over time, so I felt the need to say something.

The show is going to be removed from Netflix on the 7th December, even though it’s been a “Netflix original” for years. Dream works owns the rights of the show but streaming and distribution is more complicated. Some fans have been hoping that another streaming service will pick it up but nothing official has been said.

What worries me is the fact that according to the offical insta seasons 1-6 are on DVD so there is still a way to watch those but seasons 7 and 8 don’t have DVDs (even tho it’s been years since those seasons came out…) and I’m not sure how them getting off Netflix will effect that in the future.

I know a lot of people don’t like the last two seasons (not without good reason) but I don’t think VLD deserves getting screwed over like this. It’s really not fair that the show was getting banished to the ether like this. the issues with streaming and lost media because of no physical copies has become a recurring topic of discussion and this is one of the signs. Yeah the fandom died pretty quickly after the show was over, but it was still a massive when I was out of height And even if it wasn’t there was clearly a lot of love put into the show into the animation. It’s not fair that it’s just gonna end like this not with a bang but with a whimper I know it sounds melodramatic but I still care about the characters and the people who worked on it deserve their show being properly remembered.

Sorry, I know this was mostly just ranting and rambling, but it’s really messing me up.



I have never learned so many lessons without the works of Akira Toriyama. My heart goes out to his family. Thank you for impacting so many people.

The Legendary Akira Toriyama’s impact

I needed an extra day to gather my thoughts before I wrote this. What do I even say about man who has literally help morph me into the person I am today. Some may think it’s a little odd to get emotional over a person you have never met or better yet even seen in the public eye. Mr. Toriyama was a really private man that even people who worked on his project have never met him, but some how his worked has touched and influenced millions across the world. You can hate Dragon Ball, but you cannot deny its influence on not only manga/anime, but pop culture in general. No other series had athletes throwing kamehamehas as celebrations, or rappers using a super saiyan bar in their flow. This man’s doodle of a little monkey kid has made it all the way to nationally watched Macy’s day parade as a float! Referenced constantly in other cartoons, anime, and video games. He set the standards for transformations in anime with the creation of “Super Saiyan”, a very subtle change of the hair (something he was really good at) became iconic and many series followed it. Gear 5, 6 path sage Mode, Super Sonic, all influenced by Toriyama.

I have to talk about my own personal attachment to Mr. Toriyama’s work. I wouldn’t be the man I am today without Dragon Ball coming into my life. If I didn’t catch Dragon Ball randomly on a Saturday morning in the late 90s and then a littler later with Z premiering on Toonami who knows if I’d even be watching anime today. As a kid growing up I was hooked, I couldn’t consume enough DB content. Goodbye Power Rangers, Goku and the Z Fighters were my new heroes. Running home after school to see how Goku was gonna overcome the odds was an event everyday! Going to Suncoast (a true throwback IYKYK) and picking up the overpriced VHS tapes just to watch stuff from a 20 episodes ahead of the Toonami broadcast and sharing it with my friends made me the coolest kid on the block. Going online and printing out cool pictures of Trunks, Broly, Majin Vegeta (before they debut on American soil) and putting them in front of of my school binder was a time. The posters, figures, videos games, t shirts that my mom and now myself has spent on this product is a little ridiculous, but I wouldn’t change it.

This loss has hit me harder than any celebrity passing in awhile. This is a MJ, Kobe level loss for me. Toriyama sama I know that you didn’t interact with fan, but I hope you could see the impact you have made in this world. My other favorite Mangaka made their manga because of you. I’ve met life long friends because of you, I’m on this app weekly livebloggin anime because of you. So many people love your work and that goes beyond Dragon Ball. Dragon Quest, Dr. Slump, Jaco, Blue Dragon, and so much more of your work will forever be celebrated. You are a true legend and will never be forgotten. Thank you for everything you’ve given us. Rest well

_Sincerely a fan 🐉

Thank you VLD❤️💙💚💛🖤💜💖

Spreading a heartfelt sendoff around campus. VLD, this one goes out to you. You were my comfort show for a long time and helped me through a lot of struggles. I won't go into a whole lot with this post, especially given I post pretty much every week about vld, but I still wanted to make a little tribute, no matter how sad.

I could go on and on about how unfair it is that a Netflix original is being taken off of Netflix, but you've already heard it all. I could also talk for hours about the mistakes in the writing and the feelings that came from season eight, but no.

Goodbye, vld, and may we as a fanbase continue to enjoy what you brought, no matter the mixed feelings. I made a lot of friends through this fandom and made a lot of good memories. That's not even to mention the amount of art I have made for this show. So let's all agree that no matter how much we disagree on show writing, ships, and live action casting, that this show has brought us one thing in particular. Joy.

We might get to see it on another platform someday, or not, but we will remember it.

That's all I have to say.
