watches a six minute long porn video frowning deeply chin resting on my hand occassionally going hmmmm or jotting down a note. video ends I sigh take off my glasses rub my face. well. what do you even want me to say? it was derivative - even an amateur like yourself must see that.would I call it art? of course I would. a grim reminder that art mustn't necessarily hold any value or vision.
one thing i've always understood as Akira Toriyama's influence on manga, even if just assumption on my part, was how his cartooning came to bear when he started writing pure action manga. when I think of his contemporaries I think of overblown special moves like Saint Seiya or the gory fist clusters of FotNS
to me it seemed what Toriyama brought to the table was the satisfaction of clarity in martial arts
when you read his fight scenes, which may have become notorious when animated for dragging on, there's no question about what's happening in the action
a clear kick to the jaw
a clean line of action on Yajirobe's slice
I first noticed this clarity pretty quickly early on in the General Tao fights during the red ribbon arc, where entire fight scenes playing out with these clear motions on the pages
Even as it got more detailed later on, the clarity stayed
clear hits on clear fight scenes
and dirtier but still completely legible lines of action
And when he started introducing the big over the top special moves we got the same thing quite often in DB: that simple visual clarity amplifying the excitement
i'm not super coherent on it right now, i'm not the biggest shonen action fan all the time and maybe Toriyama didn't introduce the world to visually clear and interesting fights in manga.
but when I see any action manga showing off clean fight choreography or sick ass lazer beams that show off clear shockwaves of destruction, i'll always be thinking of the GOAT
RIP Akira Toriyama

Hello👋
First proper looktest of the "Locked Tomb but make it Castlevania" project is completed! Gideon just isn't having it
Dale Gribble (Twin Peaks)
stardate 30.1.2024
have mastered bending space time and fate through he power of poetry and ascended to the empty throne of the demiurge
still have no fucking clue why allistics think iambic pentameter is in any way musical
assuming it's the same reason they think tea isn't microwaveable
Kitty!... long leg kitty!.. uh, creechur?... OUPPY
I'm a magical girl now
alright, time to cast
The Muppets' The Locked Tomb
with Miss Piggy as Coronabeth Tridentarius
and Kermit the Frog as Judith Deuteros
and that's as far as i got. feel free to join in!
Oh Miss Piggy is definitely also Ianthe, she has the _range_ darling
Gonzo is Gideon, which I think makes that rat Harrowhark
Teacher is the Swedish Chef
I’m now desperate to see the actor interview where miss piggy talks about how challenging it was to play an unpopular, unpretty character but she is such an ~artiste~ that of course she managed
Bunsen and Beaker are Palamedes and Camilla
Fozzie Bear is Magnus Quinn
he's a muppet until alecto gives him powers, then he's human.
i think all the lyctors go from muppet to human upon ascension.
Sad: Ortus is the One Human
Hilarious: Silas is the One Human
Both: Colum and Babs are the Two Humans
