Cartoon Network/Nicktoons Redesigns I Did Last Year

‘I think Dipper was there making faces at them’ yeah right I’m pretty sure we all know what kind of faces he was making

(from chapter 2 of The Hunt by seiya234)

The Skeleton War 2014

We’re all used to the eccentricities of each character, and the techniques the boys use to stay calm and focused during their games, but from an outside perspective Nishiura high school baseball team is absolutely fucking bizarre.

*Nishiura calls time*

Opponent team: oh they must be making a game plan, alright

*Abe goes out to stand in the middle of the field and hold hands with Mihashi while staring intently into his eyes*

Opponent team: what the fuck is going on???

*Abe calls Mihashi his pitcher, promises to take care of him for the next 3 years, swears that they’ll win for his sake, Mihashi is crying incoherently*

Opponent team: they know we’re in the middle of a game, right? do we need to get them a room or something....?

Opponent team: how are these freshmen staying so calm in such a serious game??? what’s their trick???

*Looks across to Nishiura’s dugout where Mizutani is screaming while Izumi and Mihashi tickle him*

Opponent team: ?????? do we need to call somebody?? is he okay?

*Tajima makes an impossible shot and gets several runs*

Opponent team: how cool is that prodigy?? he must be a genius

Tajima, immediately after finishing the game, shirt off, dick out: rice is a type of protein right??

Hanai: jesus christ how have you survived for this long

tl;dr:

Big hot shot team pre-game: This game will be pathetically easy -- they’re just a bunch of freshies!! Practically toddlers!

*Nishiura during the game* Reads the pitchers’ movements, memorises each batters preferences, goes full-on klepto with bases. Wins.

Hot shot team: What in tarnation....

*Nishiura after the game* has players falling asleep on public bunches like a bunch of hobos, some of them half-naked, Abe yelling incoherently over the mess

Hot shot team: ....we lost to this?

Finally adding more to the sword fighter/running with scissors Marco au that I got going on. With the absolute bombshells of episodes recently, I got plenty to add the this au. *Cracks knuckles* First of all, let's just quickly brush over 'Bounce Lounge' before we get anywhere near the mess of 'All belts are off.' Now we didn't see a lot of canon Marco in the bounce lounge aside from a few brilliant moments here and there, but the whole club atmosphere made me think about SF!Marco's experience with...adult escapades, shall we say? I don't think I was the only one who noticed aged-up!Marco's suave attitude towards Hekapoo, which was a sharp difference to his awkwardness with females in his youth. It makes me think that during his travels Marco became well-versed in trawling the underworld in search of clues about Hekapoo, and thus encountered many informants. Informants who were commonly found in clubs and brothels maybe? It's not to say that Marco especially engaged in many of the illicit activities offered (until later), but he definitely grew comfortable in club scenes and sexual encounters. So instead of Marco dorkily doing some karate moves on the dance floor after prompting by Star, we get all of the bounce crew (and generally the whole club) gazing in amazement at this young teen PROWLING the dance floor. Marco just has an air of sex around him as he slides comfortably about the floor, keeping his body relaxed as he gyrates to the music; every being alike is stunned by his moves (especially Star who still can't wrap her head around this confident and self-assured Marco). Basically the money they earned for the Bounce Lounge was double of that in the show due to people texting friends about the dark-skinned God on the dance floor (every text accompanied by Marco in a tight top and jeans, the cloth sticking to his developing muscles with sweat). And then shit gets real in 'All belts are off.' Marco, the 30-odd dimension-renowned swordsman and general ass kicker, was passed over for some snot-nosed brat who he could break in a second? In this au he's not jealous or confused. He KNOWS Jeremy is basically what keeps the dojo afloat, so he can see the choice from a logical view. Doesn't mean he's not fucking PISSED. Most of the episode is spent with Marco struggling to keep his confidence as he consistently compares himself to what he once was; Jeremy wouldn't have been given a single thought if he still was strong enough. But Marco keeps his cool and trains twice as hard. However when Jeremy basically embarrasses the honour of the dojo in his little show (honestly I would've drop kicked the child away if I was there), Marco politely asks the Dojo Master dude if he would like to see a proper sparring session to see the true potential of the dodo. The man, nearly asleep with boredom at this point, agrees wholeheartedly in hope that things would get interesting. Holy shit they did. Jeremy is completely unaware of Marco's growth in skill (and physique as their loose gear hides Marco's lean muscles) and thus goes into the fight cocky and sure of his win. The crowd never forgot what an absolute hammering the little prat took at the hands of calm and confident Marco. Marco never speaks nor moves in aggression in the fight, unlike Jeremy with his trash talk and dirty tricks. Marco's used to loud mouth street 'villains' from other dimensions trying to pick on him before he became well-known. He's used to keeping a calm head and steady hands as he systematically destroys people's defences. Jeremy doesn't stand a chance. Humiliated, Jeremy challenges Marco to weaponry, thinking that the boy still hadn't touched a weapon (old Marco didn't like the thought of hurting someone that badly). Instead he gets even more soundly defeated, the wooden sword in Marco's hands moving faster than many can see, each strike hitting a deadly point with a soft tap. Needless to say the dojo gets a huge endorsement from the Dojo Master and his company, Jeremy is now terrified of Marco, and most of Exho Creek learns of Marco Diaz, strongest (sword) fighter around, through word of the mouth. Marco feels a little bit better about himself.

Dimension 20 is a series of episodes where Brennan can not only show off how much of a theatre nerd he is, but also flex his phenomenal philosophical skills. That man takes any opportunity to rant upon the intricacies of what it means to be a fully realised being, but also loves calling out the toxic nature of social structures like capitalism and character profiling by the justice system. What a man.

If c1′s finale was a homage to a life well-lived, a heartfelt and bittersweet goodbye, with Liam O’Brien utilising his character to tell his friends how much they all mean to him, then c2 is a perfect parallel wherein everyone gets to finally say no to fate, to tell a friend that their life is worth everything, and also tell Taliesin Jaffe that through his character that they adore him.

*Watches 5 seconds of Ballroom e Youkuso* Me: I would die for ballroom dancer Hinata Shoyou and his gender bent genius partner.

Okay so it gets even more ridiculous as after they LITERALLY ARREST THIS ASSHOLE and the whole 'Satan's big fuck up' they just appoint him as principal again. They just ignored the whole plotting and other bullshit this sinner did??? Additionally why the fuck does no one draw attention to the fact that the demon prick they had so much trouble with is now a hamster?? Mephisto literally feeds the plush dickhead in front of the students and they're all like..."Ah Mephisto has got a new pet now? How sweet." This whole situation is almost as stupid as people not realising Rin and Mephisto are demons with their huge ass teeth and oversized elf ears. Honestly!

The best thing about Blue Exorcist is that the True Cross Academy literally lets a demon that they CLEARLY don’t trust be in charge of the entire school. Just like…they don’t trust Mephisto at all yet they let him take care of the next gen of exorcists???? Who the hell let this flamboyant sinner take control???

Okay so one thing I get really frustrated with in post-canon FMA fanfics is how Winry always gets portrayed as frustrated, or even downright hating the fact that Ed is very much a wandering soul. Disregard the fact that her last line in FMA:B is literally along the lines of "men who stay still are boring". Disregard that Winry always supported Ed and Al's decisions to travel because she knew how much they needed to get distance, and later supported it because she knew that they just wanted to see the world. Disregard Winry instantly jumping on the chance to travel whenever offered, including yearly travelling to Rush Valley and a clear enjoyment of her trip north before everything went to shit. Just know that Winry, seven months pregnant and struggling to get around, just starts shoving shit into suitcases cause there was a skirmish to the west that resulted in plenty of casualties, including amputees, and fuck if they don't need the greatest automail mechanic there to help them out. Es gets a few words of protest in before unceremoniously getting thrown into the train, Winry eagerly jumping in behind him cause she's needed elsewhere and nothing will slow her down, not even pregnancy. Down the line, family trips are common. Only they aren't trips into Central like most country folk take. No. The Elric-Rockbells are wanders at heart, and the people on the railroads know each of their faces intimately due to their yearly trips to Xing, and their constant roaming across the country offering automail and handyman services. They miss home on the road, but wouldn't give up on seeing the world for anything.
