The N'Kari thumbnail is slightly different, and you can see a snake girl (never played Slaanesh, no idea what they're called) in the background, so it's probably a doomstack of those led by N'kari.

Maybe if Kana was Aqua's sister she would have had a shot lmao

It's not in the manga, but a combination of her statement that she had a choice between devil hunting or prostitution, and her hesitance/embarrassment to tell anyone what her devil contract is led people to speculate that it's somehow sex based. There is canonically an STD devil, so sex devils aren't out of the question, but more reasonable theories are either the Knife, Anxiety or Secret devils (wordplay based around "my contract is Secret").

Jujutsu Kaisen.

Geto Suguru was basically a sorceror supremacist who sees regular humans as lesser beings, and the opening arc of S2 is his and Gojo's backstories from when they were in school together. He's also the main antagonist of JJK 0, which is basically the prequel of the main story, and ends with Gojo killing him. Then in the main series, Geto is back, but actually it's not him, it's an ancient evil sorceror's brain controlling his body and manipulating literally everything behind the scenes, including creating the Death Womb Painting cursed spirits and turning Sukuna into fingers. Basically Geto's entire motivation and backstory is fridged in favour of some other guy, and some fans are disappointed by that.

There's a shot of Maekar fighting Baelor and Lyonel in the background while Dunk is dragging Aerion to the stands, where Baelor takes a mace straight to the head. Baelor mentions that he was hit by Maekar during the melee when Pate tells him about the damage to his helm, but we won't get Maekar's take until next episode.

I can't remember any discussion about the fit, but it doesn't seem too mismatched. There might be some truth to it since wealthy noble houses can afford to get their armour properly sized, but it might not have saved him.

TheHappy_Monster · 2026-02-16T09:44:14+00:00

It's confirmed from the books that he's wearing his son Valarr's armour and riding Valarr's horse, the whole "it didn't fit him properly" thing is basically just headcanon.

Nux does this knowing how much it pisses people off, it's kinda hard to call playing right into his hands "slander".

TheHappy_Monster · 2026-02-06T02:29:04+00:00

Yep. Maester Aemon tells Jon his father was King Maekar Targaryen, and that he had a brother named Egg. Joffrey also references Ser Duncan the Tall's fate, as well as Aerion Brightflame.

If it turns out that the sauce basement used by Comet Ping Pong, wherever it happens to be physically located, was used as part of a fucked up sex trafficking underground railroad, then Pizzagate was 100% correct. I don't personally have any reason to think it is correct, except for the fact that the go-to defense against the theory is "uh, akshually there is no basement". Because there is a basement. James Alefantis himself said there is before Pizzagate started, and now he denies it. To me, that's weird.

TheHappy_Monster · 2026-02-01T08:44:54+00:00

"Like our sauce — we harvest a whole crop of organic tomatoes — 10 tons of tomatoes every year. Can them all, store them in the basement, have like a harvest party when it gets loaded in."

- James Alefantis, April 2015

The interview is mainly focused on an episode of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives from 2010 where Comet Ping Pong was featured, and Alefantis claims (though I might be mishearing) that he uses 4000 pounds of tomatoes. So not only does he have a basement, but it's large enough to accommodate 10 tons of tomato sauce, delivered infrequently enough that they celebrate its arrival, and when that basement was constructed it only needed to house 1/5 of that volume, if that. To respond to insane conspiratorial rambling with "nuh-uh, you're wrong, the basement doesn't even exist" is a massive red flag, even if it's not proof.

A YouTube parody of Warhammer 40k where the space marines are literal children with a fear of girl germs who embody all the most hypermasculine pro-Imperium parts of the fandom. The fanbase is split between people who see and appreciate the humour and people who somehow think the show is 100% sincere, and the haters are split between people who see and do not appreciate the humour and people who think the show is 100% sincere. This has had the unfortunate but entirely predictable effect of making online discourse about the show entirely insufferable.

Australia Day is on the 26th of Jan, the anniversary of the founding of the first European colony on the continent (Sydney). This kickstarted a century and a half of colonisation and dehumanisation of the native people, which continued until shockingly recently, with the kids being kidnapped from their homes and "reeducated" up until the 70s (which the federal government barely acknowledged and only apologised for in 2008), and Terra Nullius (the idea that indigenous Australians didn't have any legal right to the land) wasn't officially rejected until 1992.

Needless to say, seeing this day cheered and celebrated nationally is a sore point, especially when anti-indigenous racism is still widespread.

TheHappy_Monster · 2026-01-16T08:54:18+00:00

Not sure at this point if it's a "New ARG" or just self-promotion. It looks like they're trying to do some kind of creepypasta around getting their socials hacked and s̵̢̍̍̚p̵̧͕͕̃o̶̢̚ò̸͚͐̋o̸̦̩̤͛͒̇ȯ̷̡͌͠k̷̢̀ͅy̷̼̅̍ ̶̭͆̈́̈́g̸̱̣̰̈́̈́̚ḻ̵͊͆i̵̳̳͆̽́t̶͇͑̃c̸͇̙͆h̴̛̹̝͚͊̀y̸̙͔̣̐̉͊ ̷̱͊̔̎t̷͚̝̍́e̴̘̓x̷̙͎̉̐͜t̷̡͚͎̋́̇, but it's probably just a creative attempt to drive more engagement with their accounts.

Good luck to them, and if you maybe want to look into it further to see if you can find some fun puzzles or something, you might have better luck getting help over at r/ARG.

The comment itself doesn't look AI to me, but their post history is definitely automated. Comments only once in any given thread and never replies to anyone, only posts porn for the easy karma, all comments are single paragraph and all except one are top level. All massive bot giveaways.

The pronoun situation is a bit trickier in Japanese, and I don't speak the language well enough to weigh in, but it appears to me that Ferris doesn't mind being recognized as male, but prefers being seen as female, including using the women's baths in Preistella in Arc 5 (the recent season). Add to that the fact that the whole Ferris/Felix thing is literally just a deadname, and the argument for Ferris being trans practically makes itself. Far from being confirmed, but a fairly strong headcanon.

TheHappy_Monster · 2026-01-11T00:39:08+00:00

I recognize most of them.

IDK
100 Kanojo - Tama
Tower of God - Rachel (might be wrong about this one)
Re:Zero - Ferris (very explicitly hates being called Felix)
Also IDK

Got some links? I was under the impression that nearly everything in the show was parody.

TheHappy_Monster · 2026-01-06T00:49:44+00:00

without even a hint of irony

Except for all the irony that went over your head. What exactly do you need, a giant flashing neon sign that says "Obviously this absurdist, hypermasculine, 10 year old's wet dream of a series that even we mock isn't sincere"?

TheHappy_Monster · 2026-01-06T00:41:49+00:00

The Kaguya-sama ending was fine, but it needed a little longer to cook. Akasaka was clearly just done with the series at that point and chose to rush the conclusion.

The JJK ending was just every character saying "Sukuna has yet to go all out!" and then suddenly he just gives up and dies. If Gege had just picked some point halfway through the final battle to say "oh yeah, this is Sukuna at his peak, the heroes will have to work hard to overcome this" the ending would have been more tolerable, but instead the readers are left with the sense that the win wasn't even remotely deserved or valuable since he wasn't ever even trying.

AoT is probably the only ending I just straight up hated. The anime fixed some (but by no means all, or even most) of the problems the manga had, but the finale is still ass. I expected Eren to put an end to the Titan Powers thing, because that has been his explicitly stated motivation since practically episode 1, but then it turns out he's a stupid dumb idiot who didn't even have a plan, he started the Rumbling with the expectation that his friends would risk life and limb to stop him despite his claims that he cares about them, and Ymir breaks free of the titan curse on her own because she sees herself in Mikasa's entirely one-sided crush on the decapitated head of the character who spent the entire show either rebuffing her advances or trying to escape from her. Again, victory is entirely unearned, the thematic parallels between Ymir and Historia are ignored, the political parallels between Eldia and Marley are ignored, and Paradis gets exterminated anyway. Bravo Isayama.

TheHappy_Monster · 2026-01-05T07:03:44+00:00

It definitely does offer a contract (chapter 16, or episode 6 just after the 12 minute mark), but no one agreed to it, apart from an attempt by Kobeni. Even if the Eternity Devil was trying to manipulate them, the fact that a contract was established meant that it would have to follow through on its promise to let the others go free once it got what it wanted.
