OId photo but you gotta hit the right shirts to avoid the dad zone - I recommend looking up jp print ones

Fuck bowling shirts as a slightly thicker butch woman I look killer in a tanktop with like a hawaiian shirt unbuttoned over the top and I think most men could also rock this look so I am recommending it to you as well

Best way to recapture this feeling is to dive into intensely obscure import titles where even if guides exist you wouldn't be able to retrieve them.

That absolutely doesn't preclude there being assistants on this one but if you've ever heard the famous "Inking the Akira city explosion orb" story I feel like he probably would have been very into hand drawing a shitload of pills to Make A Point

Francine @witnesstheabsurd.bsky.social · 7d

AFAIK Otomo specifically was known for doing Akira with way fewer than the usual number of assistants and kind of overworking himself so while I can't say with certainty it's good odds this is mostly him

So that's where you got the weird era where she was doing that retroactive "Actually this character was gay/jewish/black" stuff to win points, then suddenly that wasn't enough to be passively celebrated anymore and she lost her mind. She *wants* to be a progressive hero for doing nothing.

Imo happened to her was that she was lauded a great deal for being Progressive at a time when it was still left of center in the mainstream to be like "women should be seen as human" and then when the window moved further she scrabbled to keep being celebrated w/out having to actually grow/change

PILOT: Million Geist
AVATAR: Antigenius [STAR]

The intelligence known as "MILLION GEIST" offers unparalleled power to chosen Pilots - but at any moment his "Gift" may quietly unravel their memories, identities and morals, rendering them altered puppets that serve his century-spanning designs.

What then is the nature of the universal observer who can only be evaded by the phantom system? What about their unseen presence prevents the shift to alterhuman physiology?

Francine @witnesstheabsurd.bsky.social · 17d

The new "phantom phase" field achieved at the apex results in a brief moment where it is impossible for the pilot to be perceived by any entity at a quantum level. A truly unobserved human (not merely "alone") is fundamentally altered by the experience for unknown reasons.

The speed and g forces have nothing to do with the transformation

The morphology of the classical grey alien is just what a human body looks like after experiencing the forces within an experimental stealth craft at full speed in "phantom phase". Survival rates very slim.

"PILOT": FIREWALL ORGANISM
"AVATAR": DEINOCHEIR-GRADE MUTILATOR

The inscrutable automated "immune system" of cyberspace, "Firewall Organisms" spawn en masse wherever their heavily decayed protocols detect a violation. "Firewall Rituals" to deliberately spawn them are shared as "infoweapons".
