Was happy enough with great GL IVs and then a fantastic UL Mimikyu fell into my lap

@MoundLore Fuck off, slop peddler

You can tell when people in Japan genuinely enjoy American culture because they don’t treat it like one big blur. They notice the parts. The cut of an old sweatshirt. A certain kind of roadside sign. The sound of a diner. A regional food. A way a shop feels. A trucker hat from one era means something different than one from another, and they seem to get that. A lot of Americans don’t even move through their own culture that way. We live inside it, so it flattens. It becomes background noise. Gas stations, county fairs, old jeans, chain restaurants, blues, soul, workwear, faded motel signs, ballcaps, pickup trucks, neon, booths, pie, college sweatshirts, local habits. To us it can just feel like regular life. But when somebody far away enjoys those things with real curiosity, it reminds you how specific this country actually is. That’s what I think people are picking up on. American culture is not one clean export. It’s a huge pile of regional habits, class signals, music, labor history, style, food, slang, and everyday objects. Some of it is rough. Some of it is beautiful. Some of it only makes sense if you’ve lived around it. And yet it still travels. That says something. It says American culture is broad enough to hold a thousand different versions of itself, and distinct enough that somebody across the world can fall in love with one small corner of it. Not the whole machine. Just a piece. A feeling. A texture. And honestly, that’s usually how real appreciation works anyway. Not by taking in everything at once. By finding one part that feels alive to you and staying with it.

Come get you some 🇺🇸🤝🇯🇵

またこの2人が見れて俺幸せ

Posting on Twitter with no mutuals is straight up humiliating lol Unfortunately I lost interest in using my main account so eh what can you do

liking every fandom’s rendition of the thank you chainsaw man page and completely blowing up my recommendation algorithm

Become Salt Punch

@nagayama_koharu Thank you for so many unique and beautiful and stories. I’m looking forward to seeing what comes next.

チェンソーマン見てくれてありがとうございました！手伝ってくれたアシスタントさん達もありがとうございました！映画ももう少しで上映終わるらしいです！両方長く見ていただいて感謝です！

Denji and Asa having a moment but not knowing each other is brutal but maybe they’re kind of destined to gravitate toward one another. That’s what I’ll tell myself

Seeing Power and Nayuta again made me happy

starting to think we need to add like an IQ check when you sign into a wifi network

Dude I’m seeing people read through fire punch and post screencaps on here a lot these days and there’s no way I’ll turn on this guy even if chainsaw man ended up being the worst work of fiction released in my lifetime. That’s a generational work right there

I think it’s much more likely Chainsaw Man ends with part 2. Fuji sets up what the world looks like now, where the main cast is, what Denji will do, the idea that he’ll “do things right this time,” maybe a hint at Asaden if we’re lucky, and leaves it at that.

Cause I’m a Dunk rocker yes I am

@javedaslamsays @pangramlabs slop?

That ending hit different. Ira Parker just delivered something truly special with #AKOTSK, six episodes, and every single one felt earned. No dragons, no politics, just a big awkward knight and a bald little boy walking through Westeros… and somehow that was enough to break me. This is what Game of Thrones always felt like at its best. Pure, grounded, human. Season 2 can't come fast enough. #AKnightOfTheSevenKingdoms

I picked it up on Switch and I’ve been enjoying it so far
