I Didn't Notice That - Tumblr Posts
W o w
I just realized that in the last couple of years that some cartoons have had specifically Filipino characters as regulars and not just as joke side characters.
Janna Ordonia - Star Versus the Forces of Evil
Sucy Manbavaran - Little Witch Academia
Lars Barriga - Steven Universe
In fact all three of the above characters are only revealed to be Filipino after noticing some clues or finding out about their backgrounds. They are not defined by their cultural backgrounds.
Being Filipino I really do appreciate this subtle level of representation in cartoons these days.
Still thinking about how once Kipps joins Lockwood & Co. as a contractor, Lockwood makes it clear from the get go he's part of the team by calling him Quill.
Like yes, by the end of things in The Empty Grave, George and Lucy call him Quill, too, but when he first started out with them? When it was all new and tenuous and uncertain for Kipps? Maybe Lockwood didn't say as much, but he sure as hell made it clear to everyone he was part of the team, fully and unequivocally. It wasn't 'Kipps' he invited to work with his agency, it was 'Quill.'
And in that same vein, I'm pretty sure there's only one instance where Kipps calls Lockwood 'Tony' after joining -- and it's not even to his face, it's to Lucy when they're on the other side and it's dawned on both of them he might very well die once he crosses the iron bridge and returns to the living world.
And in that reference, it's kinda a glimpse into the past? Because Kipps says it almost fondly, like Tony's a nickname for Lockwood rather than an insult (which I firmly believe is how it was at one point), and that speaks of a history between them that wasn't as contentious as the one we see in the first few books.
Anyways, I've loved Kipps since The Whispering Skull and my love for him has only grown, so am I reading into Locky using his first name? Yes, I absolutely am.
Hmmmm.
So. Did anyone by chance ever spot this?
How he might potentially was being as literal and honest as he could possibly be while telling us that.
I’ve tested myself and it genuinely happens, Sora’s shadow disappears whenever he transforms into his Rage Form. Replaying through the games really do go show the leaps and bounds.
This actually holds true for KH2 Sora’s Anti-form as well.
