He’s So Stupid I Love Him

Omg I’m so sorry for leaving you hanging ;-; I can only offer the excuse of crippling school projects, but I’m back!

Dr. Stone Spoilers for most of the story

Okay so your point about him being a good leader actually opened up a can of worms in my brain. This is def kind of off topic? But I think it’s interesting so I want to write it down for my own sanity.

For a while know I’ve been coining Senkuu as a bad leader, or at least not ideal for personal writing purposes, but your comment made me rethink it. Looking at things with a fresh start, I realized Senkuu is a good leader, but not in the way I was originally imagining. (Doing my best to keep it as canon as possible) Senkuu 1. Cares deeply about people, not just his own 2. Is very strategic and thinks of the future 3. Does not want power. These 3 aspects make him a good leader, especially in the setting of Dr. Stone.

To use an analogy, He would be a very good science club leader, which is kind of what he is. He is dedicated to the craft, and can manage a small group of people with similar goals, and rather than excluding others, he encourages and fights for them to join his club of nerds.

However!

For the first part of Dr. Stone, that works fine. It’s just the Kingdom of Science and the Empire of Might. It’s like 140 people, who although need some coaxing, can work together. But once America hits and they have Zenos people how have very different ideas, and all sorts of other civilizations across the globe… people are going to have conflicting ideas. There’s always going to be Tsukasas, misguided people, and Hyogas and Homuras, people who don’t mean well and try to shape the world in their making. This is where I believe Senkuu is no longer the best choice, as I don’t think he could handle managing and keeping peace between all of these people, in addition to perusing and steam heading science projects. Obviously there’s people to help him do these things, but it’s a lot.

Many people instead make Ryusui the main leader, which is not a bad decision. He’s used to leadership and thrives in positions of power, and cares about the people around him, even if they don’t like him(most of this comes from his confidence/arrogance, but still). He is great at planning and managing people, and is decent at working with people who have different views than him. However he doesn’t really understand the differences between what people say/think they want, and what they need, and he could make bad decisions based on that misconception. In addition, Ryusui is pretty disconnected from the people around him as he had a very different upbringing, and can’t always relate to people. This makes him a caring leader, but unable to properly act this way.

Both he and Senkuu are decent leaders on their own, but still not great. In conclusion, I say the best solution is to have the 5 generals, so some other council, in charge. They balance each other’s faults, this sharing of power relieves the pressure of leading the entirety of humanity from 1 person’s shoulders.

Main tangent over lol.

I def agree about Senkuu trying to save everybody, including Tsukasa, with all of the stuff happening at the beginning of Treasure Island Arc being a lot to juggle. This means to me that his decision to give Hyoga and Homura to the “authorities”/legal system is weak evidence for him being lawful.

I feel like we’re running this thread dry, so I pose another question: How do you feel about the ending of the manga, and how would you change it? I have some strong thoughts about those last few arcs lol.

*offers microphone in one hand and a bag of chips in the other*

Also happy holidays!!

Your honor they're homosexuals

Some other silly dr stone redesigns

I love nikki

I couldn't stand the sight of hyoga's thousand abs

(edit: i forgot i wanted to add a link to the first redesigns)

I would read the crap out of that. Please write it I beg of you🙏🙏🙏

Dreams about fanfictions I havent thought of or written yet are a trip like what do you mean I could be writing a Dr. Stone fic where Senku had a pen pal in America that was supposed to be for a dumb English lesson in middle school but ended up vibing with enough to keep writing for the next few years? What do you mean he could have been planning on going out to meet her after he graduated and since the world got petrified has been so sure she's waiting for him in stone somewhere and how that kinda hurts a lot so let's just not think about it and focus on saving the world with science except oops now we're here and what do you mean she's unpetrified and has been trying to get to Japan to save him this whole time?

...

Anyway if anyone needs me for the next 6-10 business weeks I'll be drowning in my own emotions over a super nerd and his oc girlfriend.

dunno what to caption this. I was looking at my hxh character pinterest boards and snagged some stuff off of there to make these

God I love this fic. Also this feels like something that just happens in canon lol

Lil side art of the previous post :^]

My mimir

Yep that’s our guy alright.

Asagiri Gen is the character ever, he’s vaguely evil but nobody gives a shit so he just gave up. Has the strength of a house cat (canon) Threatening but nobody takes him seriously cuz he’s just such a goober. Left the bad guys in order to join the good guys, just to get absolutely bullied by everybody. Pathetic wet cat of a man, the buff old guy loves him for reasons that are completely unknown to everyone (canon). One of the smartest characters in the show, risked it all for a coke. Magnificent.

:3

Senku being pretty

❤️❤️🩷🩷💜💜

WHATEVER !!! GO MY PRINCESS

Apologies to all Stan fans 😔

I am a firm Stanley hater. I hate him as a person, and I think he’s a decent character. But damn I hate his anime colors. I don’t even know why! Something about the yellow ass hair with random honey-brown eyes rubs me the wrong way. I’m sorry all Stan lovers, but this is not it💀

Like he’s supposed to be intimidating?? He just looks kind of goofy like that. I always draw him with super light blond hair and gray eyes. The warm colors contrast his personality too much.

Although I will admit I like how the hair parts by his ears are darker, giving the appearance of an undercut which looks cool, as well as the purple lipstick. He’s killing it. But again, the cool purple clashes weirdly with the warm hair and eyes. They did I a good job carrying over his eyelashes too, they look very nice.

They did something similar with Luna, where they took her colors but made them super bright and unflattering. Like sure the dress could be passed off because it’s a target, but her hair is so bright and cool toned, it doesn’t work for her. All together it feels too contrasting and is hard to look at.

I really like Zeno’s colors, but he’s basically monochrome so like🤷‍♀️. They got him right at least.

All of this is in my opinion. I apologize again to the Stanley fans. You guys write great fanfic and I love you<3
