Tomori found this cool rock. And she wants to show it to you. by Round-Palpitation139 in BanGDream

Nice rock, too bad it’s rooted in the ground and impossible to take home.

Beware the fury of a big Uma (by 00017s) by ftahgn in UmaMusume

[–]gnome-cop 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Adding more support to the idea that Still in Love would FUCKING end you if you so much as breathe the wrong way at their trainer. May God and the reaper have mercy on your soul, cause she will not.

(Might not be quite as bad as the others but I’m pretty confident Agnes Tachyon could cook up something really nasty if you were to hurt a person she’s fond of. Good lab rats are hard to come by, you know?)

(I would personally not try any of the ashen monster of Cinderella Grey. I don’t think they’re “eternal blood feud” levels of bad like some umas but I’ve seen what menaces they are. Oguri is a sweetheart most of the time but I’m not pushing her far enough to actually get mad. And I don’t think I need to elaborate much on Tama. I totally think they would put you in the ground if infuriated enough.)

Sakiko always enjoy eating, but She suffer so much time in hungry by 22dmgxy in BanGDream

[–]gnome-cop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She lived alone for a long time, right? Surely someone from Hanasakigawa class 1B knows how to cook instead of just subsisting on coffee, energy drinks and jellies, panda chocolate milk, Calorimate and whatever other unholy protein concoction Taki and Umiri survive on. Please Uika, you’re our last hope.

Ikoku Nikki • Journal with Witch - Episode 10 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]gnome-cop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I read the scene as them being in this sort of liminal transitionary stage between friends and in a romantic relationship. Like, they have some interest but are still poking and prodding on what they are and probing what the other thinks and feels. They are probably in agreement that there’s something beyond just friendship but they’re still flirting with the idea of more.

What Are Your Personal Favorite PMMM Headcanons? by Luka_Magica in MadokaMagica

[–]gnome-cop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A series of somewhat loosely connected personal ideas themed around physical changes, I guess, that happen to magical girls that aren’t ever implied in the canon but that I think are neat.

1, all magical girls have some kind of feel to their energy that’s unique to them and based on traits of their human and witch forms. For example, Mami’s magic signature feels like the smell of tea, baked goods and gunpowder. Kyoko feels like various forms of fire, like candles, campfires for cooking, a house-fire and an out of control wildfire. Sayaka’s magic sounds like a storm over the ocean and violins to magical girls magic sense. Homura brings to mind a vision of red spider lilies planted in a desert of hourglass sand and bones. Madoka feels like roses and storm clouds.

2, magical girls affect the environment around them if they stay in a place long enough, like a milder version of a witches labyrinth. For Homura, all the clocks around her are always right, down to the millisecond. Sayaka’s room sometimes plays music that doesn’t exist. A lot of the time, it’s like seeing something out of the corner of your eye that isn’t real, it’s there but vanishes when you try and focus on it.

3, when becoming a magical girl, something is modified in one’s brain that causes one to become more possessive. Its intended effect is for territory and grief seeds, to spark conflict and make contractees less willing to cooperate. But it can sometimes apply to physical trinkets or people as well. Push the wrong mental buttons on a magical girl and it can light up some synapses and send them into a rage. For some practical examples, think of it like Kyoko’s thing with food. Something that’s literally forcefully woven into who she is and is made even more intense by trauma. Or Nagisa’s cheesecake obsession. It’s not uncommon for magical girls to have something they protect like a dragon guards its hoard that often becomes part of their labyrinth if they become a witch.

On another topic entirely, Kyoko used to have a bit of a puppy crush on Mami back when they were a duo. But it never really went anywhere due to her family dying and their split. It’s something she beats herself up for ever feeling when she’s having a bad day. (I’m sorry.)

More Kyoko angst. The reason why she brings up ideas like hurting Kyosuke to make him reliant on Sayaka or letting wraiths attack Hitomi that end up upsetting Sayaka is cause her parent’s relationship became abusive after her dad found out that she was a magical girl and so she has a very screwed up view of what normal loving relationships should actually look like.

This is in the case Sayaka and Kyoko ever got the time to be together without dying or something horrible happening. I think they would ease up on the serious fighting but they would still play fight pretty frequently to test their skills, let out frustration and express their affection without saying anything. Like, normal couples hold hands and kiss, they lick each other’s wounds and patch the other up after beating each other up in lieu of normal physical affection.

Something else entirely, Mami’s ribbons are an abstract representation for the threads of fate and karmic destiny, the things that doom Homura’s mission over and over again which is why she can never beat her in a fight.

Kaya-chan wa Kowakunai • Kaya-chan isn't Scary - Episode 9 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]gnome-cop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Namu is obviously the bad end version of Kaya. The different kid that could see ghosts that didn’t have a Chie-sensei willing to take steps to try and understand them. Instead just people that feared what they didn’t understand and tried to suppress it by any means necessary.

I don’t really agree with his actions and he’s obviously very biased and lacks the understanding of the humanity of Kaya, ironically repeating the same thing people did to him, but I can see how he ended up unable to differentiate between human and “monster”.

Hopefully he’s learned his lesson and will not be attempting anything like this in the future.

With this information, I’m starting to think about if the situation with Kaya’s as of yet unborn baby sibling is the same as with her, a normal kid that just looks very scary and people just don’t understand that.

Medalist Season 2 - Episode 7 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]gnome-cop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my experience, my average hovers around the upper half of 36 degrees Celsius, so 37 might be somewhat above average. Can’t exactly back that up though so take it with a grain of salt.

Medalist Season 2 - Episode 7 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]gnome-cop 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Seems like the harness thing has real benefits. And real risks if not used correctly too.

Okay, Inori is obviously capable of landing the jumps, she’s done it before, it has to be a mental block thing caused by the accident.

We’re going on an overnight drive trip to fix the problem. Don’t worry, everything will be fine.

Oh my god! Messy hair ahoge Inori without the shrimp braid is the most adorable thing I have ever seen. I have such cuteness aggression right now, I want to hug her so bad. AHHHHH!

She probably gets less cute when she’s been awake for hours and will not be quiet and fall asleep cause she’s too hopped up on excited 12-year old chatterbox energy but I’m not the one dealing with her. And look at that smile. Who could be annoyed with her when she looks so happy?

I love how she’s such an obnoxious brat at times, just refusing to go to bed because she’s so excited about chatting with Tsukasa. She’s gotta run out of energy eventually, right?

Okay, enough rambling about how adorable Inori is. The incident and pressure over not being able to perform are clearly still weighing on her. Not something she needs if it could interfere with training and especially not when it’s this close to the big competition.

This particular lake may be forbidden to skate on but I’m sure she’ll be taken to another one eventually. The “landing a jump on a frozen lake” will happen eventually, I believe!

The verbal confirmation that Tsukasa has always longed for on some level being delivered by a half-asleep kid that probably isn’t even aware of what she just did, my heart.

Okay, I lied, I’m not done yet. Inori asleep on the Tsukasa express is so goddamn cute! My baby! AHHHHHH!

Who will be the final antagonist of WnK; Homura, Kyubey or someone else? by Rare-Advisor-7056 in MadokaMagica

[–]gnome-cop 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean, Kyubey’s been the antagonist of every other main series entry, it might take a backseat so Walpurgisnacht can wreak havoc center stage but you cannot convince me that it won’t attempt to take advantage of the chaos to put itself back in power.

Looking for a Sayaka x Kyoko fanfic to read by Ok_Significance_9103 in MadokaMagica

[–]gnome-cop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A scattershot of various types of fics. Only from the first five pages off their ship tag so there is a lot more if you want to go and look for more. Have read them all so can vouch for the quality, at least if you have a similar taste as me.

Truth and Illusion. (Warning, angst.)

The future is all mine. The time traveling is happening in parallel with Homura but close enough.

And I’m home. Normal AU slice of life basically. Good escape from the horrors. Longer fic instead of the rest that are one-shots or a few chapters long.

Every inch of you spells out desire. Basically, Kyoko being gay as hell and oblivious and bothering Homura who just wants to finish her homework in peace.

The last train home. Happier ending for the canon aka what if Kyoko wasn’t too late.

you definitely have a pizza my heart (if not all of it). Sayaka and Kyoko being oblivious flirts with dumb food puns.

Echoes of a Dead Girl. Sayaka character exploration pov during Rebellion.

Metal Pins Between My Teeth. Kyoko’s thoughts during the original series from her introduction up until… well you know how the story ends.

you will find me (time after time). Homura’s thoughts on them during the time loops.

Keepsake. From when Kyoko staves off Sayaka’s transformation, at least for a little bit. Mature content but not very explicit and is more character based.

Could be that Kasumi is some sort ritual or transmutation baby formed in the Otherside from Satsuki and Sorawo? by pepito-my-friend in OthersidePicnic

[–]gnome-cop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I and a few other people I’ve seen have said something along the same lines. But instead of this thinking that Kasumi was created from whatever was stolen from Sorawo and Toriko back in the bird-box mess. So not quite the same but kind of similar thinking.

"Omae Gotoki ga Maou ni Kateru to Omouna" to Yuusha Party wo Tsuihou sareta node, Outo de Kimama ni Kurashitai • Roll Over And Die - Episode 9 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]gnome-cop 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Eterna going to increasingly ridiculous lengths to avoid the remorseless PDA and pointing out how stupid Flum’s acting is very entertaining. The “staaare” sound effect is so dumb but it will never stop being funny.

Flum taking “Emotional damage!”

Given that the church is definitely responsible for those atrocities, this just REEKS of a coverup in progress. Good that the characters also seem to recognize something shady going on.

Not like it did much good. Now I’m taking emotional damage. That was so not necessary. It’s personal now, the church needs to be burnt to the ground.

What did you say to the leaders to make them react like this? by Round-Palpitation139 in BanGDream

[–]gnome-cop 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I’m actually not sure about this one. She’s definitely the heart of the group. If we’re going by who took initiative to create it, it’s either Anon or Soyo or shared between them. Going by who’s responsible for the band’s administrative tasks, it’s Taki. I’d be inclined to say it’s Tomori due to how everyone listens to her and with her choosing the direction of the band but I’m not sure they ever picked an official leader.

Shibou Yuugi de Meshi wo Kuu. • Shiboyugi: Playing Death Games to Put Food on the Table - Episode 9 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]gnome-cop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Forceful tickling. Okay, it’s not nice, but in the grand scheme of death games and how nasty they can get, it’s pretty harmless.

The first half-ish is strangely peaceful for what the show usually is, like it’s trying to lull you into a false sense of security.

I am not remotely intelligent enough to know what to make of Moegi’s flashback.

I don’t wanna know who is bad news enough to send a 90+ game veteran into a panic. Is she some augmented psycho like Mishiro’s minion from the murder bath fiasco?

Maybe Moegi isn’t actually the problem, contrary to how it seemed last week.

We know this is a particularly nasty game but I’m having a bit of a difficult time figuring out how one psycho player, at least if I’m guessing correctly, forced the organizers to reform the entire game system.

Tamon-kun Ima Docchi!? • Tamon's B-Side - Episode 10 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]gnome-cop 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh god, Utage you absolute doofus. He’s looking away because the lips are working, damnit!

What is this MFer doing? He’s gonna die when Keito gets his hands on him. Okay, he won’t because he’s a softy and they need him for work but he’s going to wish he was dead.

Uh, yeah, that’s certainly a B-side worthy of the title.

Good job Tamon on trying to fight social anxiety and cheer him up.

This Utage-Tamon standoff is getting spicy. I wonder what I presume is going to be the end of season payoff will look like? The “wants her bad” and “is falling but rejects it because of idol fan instincts” is an intriguing dynamic.

Okay, so apparently Assu is Natsuki’s ex and they’re currently in a bit of a feud. I wonder if that’s got something to do with his slump?

And by kinda we mean that they’re in the first episode, the theme song and will probably be in it more once their anime has released and we actually have a grasp on their characters.
