Sometimes I Just Like To Read Touhou Scripts And Listen To The Correlating Music. I’m Really Particular

linoleum print; the prompt was "matters" as things that can matter, and having been given the opportunity to take a few anthropology classes I've developed this great appreciation for humanity, and its many instincts (the human desire for the natural world, to preserve and record history, to create art, and to conceptualize abstractly)

Episode 24 of Season Two is a fucking masterpiece

Building up to episode 24 I was expecting something written with the purpose of being angsty, like a real tear jerker you know?

But what we got, oh god what we’ve received, it’s so much better than that

This episode was so much more sincere than I expected it to be- it wasn’t written to be sad: It was written to continue the the two season long arc of Osomatsu’s character development, it was written with purpose and love

And you can feel it, you can feel the love the staff put into this episode

First off, the animation is FUCKING GORGOUS in this episode

Like, this whole season has been a huge improvement when it comes to the overall quality of the art, lighting, and the overall smoothness and effort put into the animations

But this episode takes the cake

Everything is so beautiful to look at- watching them even do simple everyday tasks was euphoric

god

fuck

DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON HOW BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN THIS EPISODE WAS HOLY SHIT

There’s just so much continuity, subtlety, attention to detail whan it comes to parrells between shots in this and other episodes

When Oso’s walking around aimlessly without his brothers, he passes by several different locations throughout town- these places are the exact same places he saw his brothers in episode two of season one

And in the sky, in the season one episode twenty four, they’re all conected by the same moon

But in this episode, there’s no moon at all, Oso is completely severred

GOD THIS EPISODE IS SO FUCKING DELICIOUS FINALL SOME GOOD FUCKING FOOD

and finally

the most important thing of all

WE FINALLY GOT A COMPLETELY OSO CENTRIC EPISODE

FUCK ME

His development from season one is absolutely some of the most amazing character growth I’ve seen in a long time

In Season One epsiode twenty four Osomatsu is:

- violent and irrational

- closed off emotionally

- ageinst the idea of getting jobs

- doesn’t take care of himself

- most likely (because of his low self awareness) he doesn’t really understand what it is he’s feeling

- let’s decisions of others affect his life

BUT NOW, ONE SEASON LATER, OSOMATSU IS:

- Coping with stress in a healthy manner

- Openly expressing

- The first to suggest getting a job to support their father

- Is bathing, eating, and even doing chores

- Has reflected upon his feelings

- Gaining enough confidence in himself to want to make decisions seperate from the group

And even though he’s still afraid of change, still suffering from his identity complex and from dissociation, evn though he’s lonely; he’s still able to handel the failing health of his father, isolation from his brothers, and a minimum wage job

Hes the best boy in the whole world

amen

banking off of childhood nostalgia

OKOKOK I CAN EXPLAIN

SO I HAVNT POSTED ANY ART IN A LONG TIME- AND I AINT GUNNA LIE, ITS CAUSE IVE BEEN DOING NOTHING BUT PLAYING POKEMON SUN

BUUUUUUT IVE DECIDED TO DO INKTOBER THIS YEAR SO ILL BE POSTING LIKE EVERY GODDAMN DAY, YOURE WELCOME

SO I DECIDED TO POST THE VERY FEW UNPOLISHED DOODLES IVE MADE INBETWEEN TODAY AND MY LAST POST

I CANT BELIEVE EVERYONE THINKS RALSEI’S EVIL

God this boy, this cinnomon angel baby, I cried reading through his text at the begining, because he’s so kind.

I’ve been reading through theories and fan opinions the other day and I was shocked to beleive that anybody could beleive this boy could even fathom malicious intentions

(I mean- I don’t mean to be sounding so harsh about this I’m sorry it’s not meant to be an attack on these theories I’m just showing my passion for Ralsei’s character)

So I know his initial story is INCREDIBLY suspicious- there are lots of holes to his plan, the gysers are never really explained, and the whole thing about him living alone down here is a little fishy. I beleive that something is wrong and we are being mislead. HOWEVER, I do not beleive it is Ralsei that is lying to us. I beleive he is just as much as a victem in all of this as we are.

The idea of him being this evil mastermind doesn’t at all match with his character. Ralsei is dopey, naive, and most of all NON VIOLENT

Why would Ralsei go through all of this effort in the story to stop Susie’s violent tendencies and spare every villain you meet just to have the entire world destroyed* (as some people beleive) once you close the gyser* (does it actually close?)

A huge argument for fantheories doubting Ralsei’s motivations is that his name is an anagram for Asriel, and since Asriel is technically Flowey he could be tricking you

But personally I beleive that this actually disproves its own argument- it shows that Ralsei may be mislead by someone, just as Asriel was by Chara

SO IN CONCLUSION

It is my beleif that people may be jumping to conclusions about Ralsei’s guiltiness- because it just doesn’t make sense in his character arc for him to be evil, and that just because he’s suspicious doesn’t mean he’s pulling the strings
