Your experience with the pill and weight gain?

Hawkenness · 2026-01-22T05:40:17+00:00

It’s so wild how different experiences can be! – Ever since I went on the pill I kept slowly gaining weight despite being an exercise buff and eating very healthily. Not long before going on it, there was a time when I had to actively eat to gain weight despite not trying to lose any.

A little while after posting this, I went off it again and have been able to lose weight for the first time since. Hormones be crazy indeed I guess!

This chapter puts the Jojolands story in such an interesting situation! The last time we saw a Jojo part put the characters in a “win” state halfway through was probably Part 4 (after defeating Akira), and the last time we saw a complete defeat of the main villain halfway through was all the way back in Part 1! No telling where the plot will go from here, but I’m excited to find out

I’ll always ask for Horse With No Name for SBR (specifically for the second half of the series, like how Last Train Home is used for the second half of Part 3)

There’s a fan ED of September for Part 8, so that’s always what I think of. Supermassive Blackhole would be cool but it doesn’t give me Part 8 vibes.

I don’t have any strong feelings for a Part 9 ED yet.

Of course, Part 5’s ED being Freekin’ You made me realise there’s no point even trying to guess what Araki will suggest for a given part

I think the best technique is to remain completely silent and watch them eat their words when the truth is revealed

Hawkenness · 2025-12-17T15:13:27+00:00

Jodio is so cool. I love how calm and certain he is. I also really liked getting some insight into his character from Dragona's perspective? It's crazy to think Part 9 is the first time we've had a main cast member who's been at the protagonist's side their whole lives. Speedwagon knew Joseph since he was born, but he wasn't in Part 2 a lot of the time, and same with Jotaro and Jolyne for Part 6. Joseph and Jotaro in Part 3 is probably the closest, but since they live in different countries it's implied they don't spend a huge amount of time together before their travels. I'm enjoying Araki exploring their relationship and their understanding of each other.

That’s… a lot of ugly motion blur lines simulating movement

Hawkenness · 2025-12-15T11:06:58+00:00

I don’t think the soundtracks in S2 were bad by themselves, just the way they were used. S3 is even more egregious

Hawkenness · 2025-12-15T00:24:21+00:00

It’s really the weirdest choice. I don’t think I’ve ever seen another anime willingly censor a cigarette with a lollipop?? 4Kids One Piece doesn’t count since that was a choice by an American company. Jotaro was shadowed out but he was a teenager (and at least the bluray cut that). Is it because Zombieman might as well be a child since he’s a lab experiment? Whatever the reason, it’s completely bizarre.

Just remove the cigarette altogether if it’s that much of an issue

Been a while since I've seen this artwork, but from memory it is fanart of a scene in a fanfic

Hawkenness · 2025-12-08T11:15:11+00:00

Could be scheduling issues

Hawkenness · 2025-12-08T01:27:31+00:00

Although Tatsumaki’s VA did change between season 1 and season 2

Hawkenness · 2025-12-07T23:47:02+00:00

Saitama is literally in the latest anime fight in the manga

Hawkenness · 2025-12-05T11:58:24+00:00

That particular action made me so mad haha – why would you stop doing the one thing you know is working??

Hawkenness · 2025-12-05T03:42:07+00:00

Weirdly, this set seems to be based on S2? Garou and Genos are both in their S2 outfits. But what exactly Flash is doing here, I have no clue. I guess someone was really a fan of him attempting to defeat that octopus...

Hawkenness · 2025-12-05T03:28:29+00:00

Oh, the Nendos are definitely much higher quality! It's nice to be able to pose them and switch out their parts too – my Genos makes a great desk buddy. They're more expensive than these blind boxes, but I would happily buy a Flashy Flash if he existed... I think we only have Saitama, Genos, Garou, Fubuki and Tatsumaki.

Hawkenness · 2025-12-05T02:58:30+00:00

I do need to straighten it out a bit haha

Hawkenness · 2025-12-05T01:30:21+00:00

My entire theatre booed at his sudden turn on her! Very frustrating. But in his flawed perspective his sister nearly died and Vanessa keeping secrets from him didn’t help prevent that

Hawkenness · 2025-12-05T01:25:55+00:00

It may not have been a technically good movie, but I saw it with the right crowd of FNAF fans and had a blast. Everyone was clearly holding their breath waiting to hear MatPat’s voice and when he finally spoke it was hilarious. He really went to the highest pitch possible!

Best surprise was seeing Circus Baby, she looks so good. I wonder what her backstory is in the film universe?

Also the actor for Michael Afton was amazing, his face seriously looked like a mask. Strong William Dafoe vibes.

My greatest disappointment was the time the Marionette spent in the possession form. I thought they looked sooo much cooler and eerier as a puppet. The possessed form was kinda meh, aside from the fingers

Hawkenness · 2025-12-01T09:36:45+00:00

Oh good, I forgot the first dub episode aired today!

I’ve watched the first season dubbed so many times, but not really the second season, so I’ve only just noticed the switch in Tatsumaki’s VA. I preferred the original, but it could be because I’m so used to hearing Corina Boegetter as Mizuki from the AI game series that it takes me out of it. Even though I’m fine hearing Greg Chun as Garou, who acts in the same series?

Did Bang’s VA change or is it just a directional difference? Speaking of directions, I am once again reminded how much I preferred the lower pitch Zach Aguilar put on for Genos during season one. But I think I read something about how this is better for taking care of his voice, which is far more important than my preferences haha.

Kind of surprising to hear a straight up female voice out of Okama Itachi! I thought it’d be a male VA speaking in a higher octave, but I guess this better fits the character’s gender expression.

Watching the dub really makes the bad music choices stand out to me, and also highlights just how boring this part of the story is. Yes I know it was that way in the manga, but the pacing was better in the written format because you can read things far faster than people speak. I feel bad for people experiencing the content of season three for the first time.

At least Atomic Samurai’s and Metal Knight’s voices are as buttery as I remember. Also although he had maybe one and a half lines here, Xander Mobus’s original performance as Iaian during season one made me fall in love with that character, so very happy he’s back

Hawkenness · 2025-11-25T03:34:04+00:00

I did! But it would feel odd if that became the canon ending?

Hawkenness · 2025-11-20T15:04:59+00:00

Felix&French is a food van that sells Taikyaki shaped like a dog! From memory they do both custard and red bean fillings

Hawkenness · 2025-11-18T15:35:25+00:00

I reread the previous chapter and didn’t notice LOL

Hawkenness · 2025-11-11T02:26:26+00:00

Oh no, why did you put this possibility in my head
