Im Fucking Crying My Therapist Has These Little Mamushka Dolls In Her Office And The First One Is So

CENTAURWORLD FANDOM IS STARVING AND I WILL COME TO FEED 

I binged season two of Aggretsuko over the span of a couple days, and thought of course I really enjoyed it (though I think I might have enjoyed the first season a tiny bit more), I at first didn’t have too much to say about it. However, the popular topic at the moment seems to be Tadano and his treatment of Retsuko, and I wanted to post my thoughts since I can’t really bring myself to agree with either of the popular takes at the moment, mostly because I feel they’re both too extreme on either side of the divide. In other words, I don’t see Tadano as completely innocent and incapable of manipulation, but I also don’t see him as a malicious and definitively abusive partner to Retsuko, either.

Further analysis beneath the cut.

spread the word y’all

Edit: Clarification: YourAnonCentral is NOT the “official” Anonymous account. There is none since it defeats the whole purpose of the movement and I thought that went without saying. Furthermore it’s comes to my attention that they are a TERF, and if they’ve changed their viewpoints is something I don’t know. However, from what I’ve seen the info they provided and posted were legitimate. If you want to know what Anonymous is currently doing, the hashtag OPDeathEaters and Anonymous on Twitter can provide insight on that. They’ve done much more since the release of this post and I’m sure you can find other receipts and links in the reblogs.

in response to the "why you know so much about everything" post, i would like to inquire about the aforementioned banana famine

Ah, yes, the great Banana Famine. Dark, dark days indeed. Gather round my children, I am going to tell you a story of great tragedy.

Eons back, in a strange far away land, in a world now long gone (circa 1950), the Gros Michel reigned supreme. It was the one Banana to rule All bananas. Gros Michel (literally Fat Michael in French, also known as “Big Mike”) was the main banana cultivar grown in Central America and sold around the globe. A noble specimen, it’s thick peel and dense bunches made it resilient, easy to ship, and yes also fat. Look. Look at it. This banana is thiiiiiiiicc

hard to find good photos. it would have also resembled the goldfinger banana. looooook et it, it so thicc

so thicc. 

Ahem.

And all was well and good and peaceful.

Everything changed when the Panama disease attacked.

Ah, the Panama disease. The great banana plague. The Banana Blight, if you will. Songs were written in elegy to the terrible destruction it wrought. Like, actually. Here’s the “Yes we have no bananas” song:

It was Chaos.

Vast tracts of plantation banana trees, noble warriors, slaughtered, cut down in their prime. Ah! the grief. Ah! the loss.

But, amid the havoc of what wikipedia and I refer to as the Gros Michel Devastation Era, an unlikely hero arose. You know it as simply a humble banana. But our hero has a name:

cavendish, it’s named cavendish. 

The Cavendish banana, a cultivar that had been mass produced since the turn of the century, but only just then got it’s Time to Shine. For whatever reason, Cavendish bananas grew just fine in the same Panama disease-ridden soil that destroyed Gros Michel trees. So yeah, we planted them, fought the blight, won the war, got bananas back. 

But every war has casualties. 

Never again were bananas so tasty. Never again, were bananas so thicc.

I warned you this was the story of a tragedy. A moment of silence for our fallen comrade, please. Raise your wands to our late, great hero, Gros Michel.

(You can still get em in some places tho. Or like hybrids? idk. ) 

And kiddies, that’s the story of the banana famine as i know it.

Other deets:

BANANAS HAD SEEDS HOLY SHIT LOOK AT THIS

LOOK AT IT

bananas were cultivated over time to be seedless. 

Bananas were deboned. dwell on that.

unnfff yeah

feels so wrong but so good

unnnfff

misc stuff 

cavendish bananas may or may not be dying. We may or may not see the dark days of plague descend again. idk, look it up.

There’s a story (not proven) that the reason artificial banana flavor tastes weird is b/c it was based on the flavor of the Gros Michel. If so, it might be cause Fat Mike had a stronger taste (due to higher levels of isoamyl acetate). idk.

the “Yes we have no bananas” song was written in 1922 during an earlier outbreak. src.  like any good plague, panama disease has a history of hovering over it’s fearful victims, sometimes for years, before striking the final blow.

sources are in the links above, also see the links on these wiki pages

i swear if i get hate mail on a banana post i don’t even know what i’ll do, probably stab a wall with a fork and eat it.

I want to share one more thing with you.

I saw this with my own two eyeballs. now you have too. we never speak of this again. we take this to our graves

shhit I’m tired. 

you guys owe me a reblog on this one. Honor system, don’t mooch.

Okay

So, Aggretsuko season 2. We had some good things, some bad, but overall enjoyable & I liked it! That said, here are my thoughts:

I’m so glad that Kabae was given more depth this season! I liked her character in season 1 but was slightly disappointed that she wasn’t given nuance like some of the other characters in the first season, but here she shined & I’m so happy. #KabaeBestMom2019

Anai was… honestly uncomfortable. I’ve dealt woth people like that before (& I’ve even been that person, but thankfully someone told me I was wrong almost immediately), they are not good for a work environment & I genuinely think he should have been fired. His redemption was too sudden & barely explored in any way & that doesn’t sit well w/ me :/

Next, Tadano. Most of the fans love him, but there is a growing group that see him as creepy & possessive. That isn’t the case. Speaking as someone who’s been in Retsuko’s place, they were both in the wrong because they didn’t communicate properly. Yes, they split up because they had different goals in life, but I feel a bigger aspect of them breaking up is that they didn’t communicate well, which is a very important part of any relationship, romantic or not. Tadano should have paid better attention to Retsuko’s reactions to being in such a public light and her feelings in general instead of assuming what he wanted was the right thing, and Retsuko should have talked about her feelings with Tadano from the beginning instead of bottling them up because she has a voice in her relationships. She’s scared to express herself outside of death metal for my next problem…

Finally, here we are. Retsuko’s mom. She is… A lot. Retsuko’s mom brings up a lot of bad memories because I have a father similar to her, demanding and furious when they don’t get their way, while also being infantalizing and taking away freedom of choice. She’s also invasive, both literally and figuratively, and doesn’t respect her daughter as an individual, talking over her and assuming she knows best. It’s played for laughs, but this is a really negative relationship and is what molds anxiety and self-doubt in a person, especially during childhood, and it’s a large contributor to how Retsuko is today.

On a more positive note, I did like the arc between Gori & Washimi. It shows that even best friends can have differing viewpoints about subjects, and while they can be petty about it, willing to put aside those differences for the sake of someone else.
