At least where you guys live it can actually make up its mind! Here is what it is like in Maryland:
A dreary depressing time, where every thing sucks,
ehhh, it will be warm a day or two, before being below freezing!!
Oh, it is a little war- never mind, it is 1o degrees.
It is finally warm!
Wait, why is it 100 degrees out?!?!
Oh, it is cool today?
Oh, it is boiling hot today?
Then summer time…. and it is only hot, and it is hot in the day, worse than frigid in the night.
Fall is here!
Oh, it is warm!
Next day, ya need a jacket and 50 other layers.
And it just keeps flip flopping back and forth 😭

XD, sorry I haven’t been very active, it was tech week, and my last performance of the play was today. So I am exhausted! And I don’t really feel like putting much into potato news RN, but thank you so much for the fun!

Anyway, here outfit is very cool!

Thank youuuuu!
Yeah it’s all over the place. Just watch Frieren if it’s something you’re comfortable with when you’re older. If I ever cosplay one day, I want to do a Frieren cosplay bc her outfit is so pretty and she’s a super cool character.
Wait, do you mean her outfit is bad or good?
Yes this exactly! Awhile ago I saw a male anime content creator trying to claim that in defense of guys owning inappropriate anime girl figurines, there’s girls who are obsessed with anime guys and have figurines too. Don’t get me wrong, there’s weird girls out there too but I think the creator is missing the point that most of those figurines he’s defending don’t qualify as wearing clothes and look like they’ve had lots of plastic surgery. I wanted to punch my screen lol!
Yeah! I mean like, I always just feel awkward and uneasy with all. of that! Even with Zelda, my fav game, there are characters that aren’t dressed well, and that isn’t even an anime XD
It just feels wrong….
2nd season is briefly introduced who is a guy who dresses like a girl but he isn’t a part of the first season : / I guess there’s always something.
If I had a nickel for every time a man dressed up like a girl from something made in Japan, I would have a lot of nickels……….
Oh my goodness yes! Avatar had such a chokehold on me for like 2 years I think. I own the first dvd and I look for more every time I’m at the thrift store! Actually, avatar helped me learn how to world build too. Oh and I made fanart ages ago too lol, I loved that show so much it made me want to cry.
Yeah! there were some episodes that were a little boring.
ooh cool I haven’t heard of that theory! Zuko is my favorite character but I really like all the other ones too. Oh, and ‘tales of ba sing se’ is my favorite episode.
Cool! and YES! Tales of ba sing se’ is easily on of the BEST episodes!!!!! Also, I have al three seasons in disk form… except for one episode that is missing… TALES OF BA SING SE’ 😭😭 OUT OF ALL THE EPISODES, THAT IS THE ONE DISC I AM MISSING 😭😂😭
Have you seen the first live action movie? It was so bad it makes me want to laugh, and they whitewashed the diverse cast too 😭 There’s literally a scene where somebody in the background says “He’s making fire out of nothing!” LIKE YEAH NO JOKE HE IS! Did they even watch the original??
I would never waste my eyeballs on that! 🤣

@everyone!
I have a play tomarrow! The last practice was today, so wish me luck and pray for me and my younger sister! It is fiddler on the roof, and I am Tevye! My younger sister is Hodel!
So wish us luck!

Yes! I love studio Ghibli!!!!!!!!!!
Frieren beyond journey’s
Got it! I’ll put that on my: to watch, list!
No I get what you’re saying, sometimes it helps. But tbh, I think the real issue is the people behind the animes not wanting to consider how real people are. Women who are curvy exist but they have more fat on their arms and waist, and might be less athletic. You don’t get to pick and choose one feature because it looks nice and throw out the rest. And also girls who are immodest exist but they are usually like party goers, arrogant, or want attention, people don’t exist that way for no reason.
True! From Cowboy Bebop, Faye Valentine, the only other girl character, was dressed… immodest. She was a good character, and she did a lot of good stuff and was important to the plot… but her outfit and body was solely for service. The other girl character was my favorite character from the whole show, and she was a child! So very modest!
Also something I notice is that fanservice for male and female characters is drastically different. It does exist but it’s done in totally different ways. I hear people talk about it like it’s the same, but when fanservice is done with guy characters they just get to look extremely cool. And people call it fanservice. When girls are used as fanservice, we don’t go ‘woooah look at her cool outfit, I wish I had her awesome hair’ we go ‘ughhhhh….’
That is the best way to put it XD!!! Like, “service” for guys is, oh they’re shirtless! Or ohhh they are looking really cool in that outfit! But then for girls… ✌️🫥 is my honest reaction!
lol yeah I actually don’t really like watching sports either! It’s about the dynamics between the characters and the storyline, usually sports is just kinda the medium. For instance, a storyline about not giving up could be done in a battle, sports, or a modern highschool show. Haikyuu might be a volleybal anime but it’s really about teamwork and personal growth, and Blue Lock might be a soccer anime but it’s really about abandoning your old life for one shot at your big dream.
That’s nice… but I never really liked all those messages… I have had a… horrible…. sports experience… Where you don’t really get any of those messages… instead it is people…. tearing you down. Like in soccer, the way my teammates called me names, and ganged up on me… or how I didn’t have any friends on those teams, and the one friend I thought I had…. ANYWAY! That is why the only two sports I like are ultimate frisbee and swim team! Because those were ones where I actually made friends! On ultimate I only made two friends, and the other players just… hated me… because I wasn’t good. But my friends were there to lift me up in that sport! And with swim, I made a lot more friends! Around six friends! So that is good! Whenever people would talk bad about me, they would be there! So I just… don’t like sports…
That picture sums it up really well 😭😂 I’m always a bit embarrassed to tell people I watch anime because somehow I have to explain “No like I watch the good ones!” and convince them I actually scoured the internet and found some that aren’t like the others. Have you seen Avatar the Last Airbender? It’s an American cartoon in a anime style and it’s quite tame (maybe one or two unsavory jokes but that’s it) oh wow actually I just looked it up and it’s rated for 7+ 😂. The plot is really good though. I really like the girls from it, they seem like real people and look like real people.
ngl, I jumped from my seat when you said Avatar, like of joy! I AM OBSESSED WITH IT!!!!! I LOVE AANG, TOPH, ZUKO (😥), SUKI, APPA AND MOMO, SOKKA, AND KATARA!!!! I feel a little bad for Azula at the end when she was crying and all that, but she is kinda the worse XD Oh yeah! I also love Iroh, May, and Ty Lee! Oh yeah, about Ty Lee, there is a theory that her and her family are air nomads in disguise! And I am personally fond of it!

Wow! Thanks! Thank you so so so much!
I will try to keep that- no, I WILL keep that in mind!

IKR! Anime has somehow infested everything! Even my brain! When ever I am trying to envision a character, my brain always imagines anime XD Here is an average interaction:
“So she is a female-” – Me
“Wearing an anime schools girl outfit?!” – My brain
“NO! She has blue eyes-” – Me
“Large anime eyes?!” – My brain
“NOO!!! She has brown ha-” – Me
“Anime hair?! Is this what you were imagining?!” – My brain
“NOOOOO!!! ARGHH!!!!” – Me
"There is never nothing, always something " - ME 😁
First thing I need to point out:
I was really offended
TYPO 😭 “I WASN’T really offended” is what I meant to put! I have a lot of typos XD
Yeah totally! I watched Haikyuu when I was younger but my sister screened it for me, and I skipped a whole season because of fanservice. I think I watched Blue Lock (S1) without too many issues but lets be honest it’s because it’s got an almost entirely male cast, and still I skipped some stuff, the scenes that play after the end credits sometimes had stuff in it I think, and the one girl character is just there to look pretty and be a plot device tbh (ugh). I think it’s 13+. I got really into sports anime for awhile because the lack of girls made it more appropriate 😭😭.
The only reason why girl characters are in it half the time is for service 🙄 That is why I like the main girl from 86 ( I am going to reference that a lot XD) she is…. how do I put I??? She has a … flatter chest… I hope that isn’t inappropriate XD uhm… but yeah, she is modest. And mainly male casts never really have service.
I would watch sports anime, but I just don’t like watching sports… so why watch an anime about it? Lol, I understand why you did that tho!
Idk if this helps but when I’m getting into a new anime, usually I look up the show plus ‘parents guide’ and usually that gives me all I need to know about whether or not I could watch it.
Oh! Thanks! That actually does help!
Cool! Yeah I want to watch the boy and the heron sometime, it looks so good. Dude I’ve heard about that one, I’m not ready for it rn lol 😭 grave of the fireflies is on my tbw list though! I can only watch one sad show at a time 😂
I love their movies! I haven’t watched the boy and the heron before, but I will find time and tell you how it is! And yes, I would never recommend Grave Of the Fireflies to anyone who doesn’t want to sit in their room and stare at the wall, and question everything… mainly why the aunt was one of the most despicable persons to ever walk Japan.
Totally fair! It’s interesting how shows from different countries differ. There’s a lot of junk in anime that wouldn’t fly with a general American audience, but imo there’s a lot of poor quality writing/art in shows here that wouldn’t sell in Japan.
Definitely! What I hate about most American cartoons is this:
It is just too true 😂🎭

“We interviewed a bug!” – Pax
“So mr. Bug, how do you think potato city is doing?” – Phillip“…” – Mr. Bug
“Hm… very interesting! Does your silence represent the fact that there is so much going on that we just need a minute to rest and reset all the growth that is happening?” – Phillip
“…” – Mr. Bug
“Wow, couldn’t have said it better myself! Now, what do you think of the chickens and the gerbils? I know they eat bugs, so you probably aren’t to fond of them! But you eat potatoes, and we like you… so what do you think?” – Phillip
“…” – Mr. Bug
“So you use the quiet to show that we all are organisms made from the one true God, and that we all are equal to one another and should respect each other mutually, and that you won’t harm me, and the gerbils and chickens won’t harm you, and we’ll live in peace?!” – Phillip.
“…” – Mr. Bug
“Thank you so much Mr. Bug!” – Phillip walks away.

“Yay! That was me!” – Pax
“But you seem like a bad guy…” – Polly
“Oh quiet! Anyway, a new part of the city opened up near Gerbil town… it is inhabited by… chickens…mmmm” – Pax
“HUH?! PAX, YOU CAN’T SAY ‘mmmm’ TO CHICKENS! THAT IMPLIES YOU WANT TO EAT THEM!” – Polly :0
“I do.” – Pax
“But… but ducks are related to chickens! They are like brothers and sisters!” – Polly
“Oooh, I could go for some duck too!” – Pax day dreamed

“You bake?” – Polly
“Uhm… now I do!” – Pax
“What do you mean by that?” – Polly
"There is never nothing, always something " - ME 😁
“Besides that, nothing bad is happening!” – Polly
“Well… Today, a walnut has been marching through the city, eating anything with a shell.” – Pax
“Oh yeah! Especially cars. And it has only been eating the ‘shell’ of the car.” – Polly
“So if your a beetle, than hide your shell! Oh, and yourself.” – Pax
