Meanwhile my gf is watching big bang theory so when i heard my boy's last name was hofstadter i went "oh hell no"

Also i know it's most likely because they don't want to go through the trouble of drawing whole new sprites but it's funny imagining the other students wearing uniform robes and then there's arene with his cunty-ass fit

I sort of want to know what's happening now but knowing her best hits i also sort of don't

Needs the matching chompy bernie statue

Somebody needs to make a telenovela out of these penguins

Reject books embrace bernie

The disney one

Surprisingly we haven't seen that many proper Disney Adults(TM) around the playerbase but regardless, god bless your wallet if you want the shiny alt versions of the princess cards

My gf is dragging me into tcgs and the card market do be like that sometimes

I can deal with canon ships i have no interest in, i'm a pro in ignoring canon developments i don't like. But to dangle yuribait in front of my eyes as the spectre of canon het looms in the background... that's just cruel

There's also me not buying it from hinagiku's side (you spent a whole 1.5 chapters on how much sakura means to her but suuure it's rousei who's THE reason she kept on) but that might be coloured by my own shipping bias so i'm focusing on how the canon romance could've been framed differently

- you're so mentally stunted you still feel like a 6yo is the match for you, and both cases scream "see a psych stat"

I could buy them falling in love all over as they work through their traumas together! But framed as "aww they're still in love after all this time"... not so much

I can totally buy rousei still being fixated on hinagiku as part of a trauma response

I don't buy it being sold as "true love conquering all odds uwu"

Like buddy you're 20 and you only knew her as a 6yo. Either you're "in love" with a facsimile extrapolated wildly from your memories or -

Tl;dr they meet as kids and ~fell in love, she got kidnapped in a violent attack, 10 yrs later when she finally returns they're ~still in love

I... don't completely buy that 10yo rousei crushed that hard on 6yo hinagiku but if we're adjusting for anime ages bs it's not the most unbelievable thing
