the point im trying to make here is arakawa doesnt demean her women characters or treat them as eyecandy/fanservice because shes a women who knows better and she knows she doesnt need to do that if she writes them well.
Feminist side of brain: agreement w/ everything above
Lesbian side of brain: ghhhh catRiza hot
for a minute there I forgot riza was the lady and thought the fire-finger guy got dressed up as a sexy cat
If you ever even think about making me visualize sexy cat Roy Mustang again I’m gonna lose it, I’m just gonna fucking snap istg
Why can I actually see that as something Roy would do? Like? Come on?
sexy cat roy is 20x more in-character than sexy cat riza and i hate it
and now I’m wondering how in the hell Lilo came to the conclusion that there’s a peanut butter loving fish god who demands tribute or else he’ll murder your family.
When massive trauma hits, some people try to find any way to make sense of what seems senseless. Find any semblance of control, of responsibility.
Lilo may be blaming herself (unfairly) for her parents’ death. This was the only connection she could make, the only thing she could have had any control over, so to her it must have been her fault. If only she was a good girl. If only she did the right thing. Then maybe…
It’s very very hard to lose a mindset like that even when it’s the most irrational thing, even when it hurts you, because then you’re left with nothing.
And when you’re six your pattern recognition skills are a work in progress. Lilo sees that type of fish one day and as it swims away it starts to rain; connection made.

This movie had some of the best scenes cut out of it.
This is one of my favourite movies yet somehow I never saw this deleted scene…. Excuse me a second…
Inktober Problems: Do I actually try to draw something that ties into 10/12′s prompt (Whale) or do I just draw whatever character I want wearing a shirt with a whale on it
