alias_sqbrWas feeling under the weather and slept for 12+ hours on Saturday, thus I suppose it's not that surprising I woke up at 3am today.
Have finished an adequate draft of my Paralells art, woo! And once again, being the first to submit, I find an issue with the submission process :D
I have discovered that roast pumpkin blended with parsley, roast garlic, avocado and lots of salt and pepper makes for a very tasty vegan pasta sauce (and then I add chicken ;))
Tumblr is not letting me reblog anything at the moment it is VERY ANNOYING. I installed Xkit on Firefox and it's vanished as have the reblog/like buttons on people's posts. *ponders logging in on Safari* In the meantime, you lucky people get something I would otherwise be rambling about on tumblr YAY YOU.
I watched the first episode of Free and it was AMAZING. My reactions seesawed between genuinely enjoying the characters/story as fluffy cheese and feeling kind of dirty at how gratuitous the fanservice is. The plot is basically:
Woobie: *broods about nothing in particular*
Best friend: Let's go have some hiijinks!
Woobie: No.
Best friend: There's a swimming p...
Woobie: *rips off clothing* (to reveal swimsuit)
I'm not sure what it says about me that I find fanservicey depictions of tween boys (in the flashbacks) way creepier than the equivalent depictions of tween girls but I really do. And I find fanservice of girls pretty creepy! The boys aren't sexualised exactly until they hit their teens but...idk. It was very moe. And the existence of a 30ish year old obvious-self-insert-female-character as well as a teenage one also skeeved me out. I'm only comfortable thinking teenage characters are cute when in the headspace of another teenage character. Not that I found these characters very attractive, they have that cliched child-head + over-muscled-adult-body anime thing.
Anyway! I think all my male anime friends should go check it out for the cognitive dissonance of being the objectified gender :D
