unrelatedly, we understand *why* they did it of course but the use of "raccoon pouch" in the dub of Pom Poko is really silly. clearly they couldn't release it with its intended rating if they didn't censor it somehow, but really!

and just calling them raccoons instead of tanuki, which I can only assume is because a lot of people in the west don't know what tanuki are (a situation that really should be rectified because they're *adorable*)

I know we at least want to have

- My Neighbor Totoro
- Castle in the Sky
- Howl's Moving Castle
- Pom Poko
- Spirited Away
- Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind
- Princess Mononoke
- Kiki's Delivery Service

Not sure if the others interest us that much, though we may have missed some, these are just the ones we can think of

i feel like we should try to get copies of all the Ghibli movies, really

we don't own any of them at our apartment and they would be nice to have a collection

oh yeah we also got a chance to watch Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind over the holidays too! we took our brother to a used game+movie store to let him pick a gift and found a copy of it while we were there (as well as Spirited Away, Kiki's Delivery Service, and Princess Mononoke! of course we ended up getting all of them, but they stayed at the family's house)

we can definitely see why people praise that movie so much. it was outstanding.

the entirety of Fawful's character and dialog is a runner-up though

possibly my favorite thing in all of video games is the way that there's *really dark* lore to the Kirby universe, but you see almost none of it because you play as a small child who does not know what's going on and just wants to eat food and make friends

pears, also known as bootleg apples,

We got into the Ace Attorney series over the holidays and I just have one thing to say about its setting:

Their legal system has never even been in the same room as anyone who's heard of the concept of "conflict of interest"

finally back home

Here's hoping 2020 brings with it marked improvements in the state of the world--which I suspect will also improve the mental health of many people we know. Us included.

We're not around very much right now due to visiting family but I hope everyone is doing alright and getting exactly the amount of holiday stuff they want, whether that be nothing at all or extreme festivities

do you ever just think about ​

​

i appreciate that they left the truck in firered and leafgreen

you know, the one that mew was supposedly under? that no one playing the game normally ever even saw?

talking to people is hard and i don't know how not to upset people

just having a real stressy time right now after reading someone claiming that 45 is probably going to get reelected next year

i don't know why i feel this stressed because this was part of someone's unhinged rant about how unfair the whole impeachment thing is and thus probably not from any sort of actual reputable source but

ghhh the mere idea of 45, or worse, pence, being in office for another 4 years is too much to bear

if that happens i think we might have to leave the country for our own mental health but where the hell would we go

everywhere is fucked right now

just to let people know! Starting tomorrow we're going to be less active around here for a while, going to visit family from the 20th to the 3rd

we'll be online, still, just less

ho and belold

who called them rabbit dens and not bunnels
