For The Fandom Ask, Whats Your Least Favorite Cannon Thing About Atom?

For the fandom ask, what’s your least favorite cannon thing about Atom?

Oh that's an interesting one, I think I never felt negative feelings abt the little guy before KJSJKSKJ genuinely love pretty much everything abt his character from the versions I've wacthed

Ok, this is very specific, but I kinda hate that episode in 2003 where there's a robot girl (Emily, I think) who wants to turn into a warrior to save her parents and Astro is all "no, she can't do it, she's just a girl!!"

And like, I GET it, I do understand that he hates fighting and will place all that burden on himself if needed. I love that abt him. But I kiiinda felt that the episode (and Astro by proxy) was leaning on the fact that Emily shouldn't fight because she's a girl?? not in the sense of being young, but being a woman?

Maybe I misintrerpreted it or something was lost in the subtitling process but as it stands, that was the moment I disliked Astro the most. Come on my guy. Tho I don't think abt it a lot bc I blame more the general writing than his character

Gonna keep up the Castle in the Sky theme and ask Pazu/Sheeta?

MY DEARIES!!!!

What made you ship it?

The whole movie KSJKSJKJS ok but elaborating: I really love how they're not framed in a romantic light. We don't see them getting flustered or jealous or anything, they're just portrayed as friends. This makes me ship them more, bc their relationship feels natural, and whatever comes next is up to your interpretation, so you can just picture their strong bond turning into romance naturally, you know?

What are your favorite things about the ship?

Oh EVERYTHING. I love how Sheeta IMMEDIATELY trusts Pazu when at that moment she's being chased by a million people. But she sees this guy cheerfully greeting her and playing with pigeons and just goes "Oh yeah ok he's nice". She casually LETS HIM TAKE THE STONE BRO. I love dorky Pazu throwing himself off the roof and them laughing it off later. I love them exploring Laputa together, just being happy kids in a paradise. I love their immense loyalty and how they will go to any hell they need to to protect one another. I love how they feel like an incarnation of kindness and purity in a world of greed and destruction.

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

I have no idea? But I'll throw my random headcanon that I don't think either of them would want to have kids. I can see them traveling all over the world and discovering new lands, and adopting/mentoring any kids they find that need a home. Maybe they will eventually have a sky ship with a cool crew and all

Started playing red rescue team, and these are my girls, Rain the hero and Hearth the partner! I love them already!

Insane how Tezuka just sat down and wrote the greatest enemies to lovers old man yaoi this side of the galaxy and didn't even realize it

Yeah sooo I watched that mess that is astro boy 2009 and wanted to see how Orrin and Stone would look on the 2003 universe

I made Stone's first name Brim bc gunpowder and stuff (and ngl I'm kinda thinking I'm a genius for this one) and based Orrin's traits off Robita and Kip!

saw this weird kid out there shouting he'll be the king of pirates. Idk I think he can make it
