Thinking about Lab Rats as I often do. What would sleeping standing upright in their capsules do to their bodies after... what 20 years?? That can't be good for their knees. Did they have to sleep standing as babies, or did they transition when they got old enough? How did Donald train 2?3?4? year olds to sleep standing up? Did he strap them in until they could do it on their own??

Watching Hunter X Hunter for the first time and I totally forgot that that this isn’t a fantasy setting and technology just exists. We spend the whole exam arc in a series of different uninhabited forests and then the second they graduate Kurapika suggests they just google where Killua lives
You know, I've seen plenty of comments about "Descendants should have been a young adult TV series!" and... I dunno how I feel about that.
Are there concepts that could use exploring much better geared towards an older audience? Sure.
But would it be the same without silly costumes, brightly-colored hair, stupid (affectionate) songs and teenage drama? All of which I doubt would be allowed in a grimdark teenage action/fantasy series like a bunch of us keep wanting? I doubt that.
I think it being a DCOM is a genuine part of its charm, and if it had become something like Shadowhunters, Once Upon a Time or Fate or even just something that would run on Freeform, all the fun would have been drained out of it.
Guess who's desperately trying to find a site to rewatch Generator Rex but always end up with the page filled with sus popups?

there is some rhetorical term to describe ashihara's decision to make suwa a prominent figure for osamu's journey at the beginning of both the rank war and the away mission test arcs...
like even though suwa is playing seemingly opposite roles (an opponent in the rank wars, an ally in the away mission test), he's ultimately serving the same role in the narrative: he's helping osamu grow as an agent and as a captain.
in the rank wars, he (along with arafune) was osamu's first rank war opponent. rhetorically speaking, he was there to kickstart osamu's journey into team-strategy.
then in the away-mission, he was the captain of the squad osamu was assigned to -- serving as a guide for osamu to learn the mechanics of an away-mission/learning how to work with agents he's unfamiliar with/even acting as a role model with him being the more experienced captain/etc etc etc
i think it's also interesting to note that suwa being the first of something for the the betterment of his juniors also literally happened IN the story when he got turned into a trion cube during the aftokrator invasion arc. in one of the trivia/author notes or whatever ashihara literally said that "[Suwa would] feel bad for Kitora or Chika if they were to be teased for [being turned into a trion cube], so it doesn’t really matter if it’s happening to him."
there is no point to this post. i just think suwa is neat. mama suwa real? idk

Toritsuka not being in Saiki's class is so funny. Like yes we are introducing a new character. No he is not in a situation he would ever talk to the protagonist were they in a regular school setting. Yes you will see him every episode.
