I've been seeing a lot of people saying that the akitoya dynamic is literally yapper akito x listener toya and I'm sorry but I couldn't disagree more.
like yeah toya is a listener at heart but what's so cute about them is that akito's the only person that he feels comfortable letting himself go with. toya can be himself freely with akito, and rant all he wants, because he for once feels listened. also akito's NOT a yapper I'm sega btw.

btw I've been talking about this with @robinoullea and he's like the akitoyer ever so. verified information /hj
My favourite thing about the Xianle trio is just how sickeningly codependent close they are. Like, what do you mean you haven’t been friends in 800 years, your friend group fell out in the most painful and traumatic way it possibly could have, and you all have the absolute most reason to hate each other- but in The Cave Of 10,000 gods Mu Qing and Feng Xin were absolutely appalled at the disrespect to their prince. They were fiercely protective, refusing to let Xie Lian bear witness to what they thought was an incredibly perverted insult to his honour. They went toe-to-toe with one of the most terrifying ghosts who ever lived, all in defence of him, and did so without ever thinking twice. They dragged him through that cave system with desperately protective determination, caring for him fiercely despite being misinformed about the situation, and even though they had no obligation to. I’m biting people. Mu Qing and Feng Xin never stopped caring about Xie Lian. He’s no longer their prince, he’s no longer their employer nor even their friend, but they would still put their lives in peril for him. Even when they thought he was a violent criminal (Lang Qianqiu ily but pls kys) they visited his palace to give him medicine for his arm (something about Mu Qing brushing off his injury and saying it isn’t that bad cause all martial gods get injured, then being the first in line to go heal him is so sickening and vile I love him) and make sure he’s alright, then physically fought over the implications from each other about the other having been a bad friend. All of the bullshit trauma, all of the heartache, all of the reason they could have to not give a shit about him, and they were throwing hands over who was a better friend. I hate them. (I love them.)
The worst part about having normal hobbies is that there aren’t any blowtorches or heavy machinery involved. I was born to wear cool goggles while I set shit on fire, and forced to do digital art like a normal teenager. This is bullshit.
Not to sound stuck up or anything but people who say it ‘Makes no sense’ for Denji to be gay, aro or ace fundamentally misunderstand his character. I don’t even have those headcanons, y’all are just morons.
there are few things that bring together jaded thirty-somethings and eighteen year olds high on caffeine and lean, but I think the one (1) thing that does is 30/90 by Andrew Garfield. Like
36 year old man with a mortgage who gets an uncomfortable feeling of dread in the back of his throat when he sees how the things he loved as a kid are now relics of a dead past: Gettin’ older sucks, huh?
18 year old kid, shaking from adrenaline high and terror, watching as the blue ‘one’ and ‘eight’ candles on their cake burn down to piles of wax because blowing them out will make it Real, and they’re suddenly on the verge of tears because they’ll never be small enough to cry on their mother’s lap again and they can’t play in the mud anymore and they’re being thrown into something grey and void of rest, knowing that the years that they can spend getting drunk and spraying graffiti on buildings (already a failed attempt at prolonging youth) are running out like grains of sand in a relentless hourglass: Yeah :(
sometimes I go on Pinterest and see comments I made and forgot about, and it feels like I’m being executed by gunshot against a brick wall
I’d just like to once again pose the concept that Anger fucks with Logan specifically because anger blinds logic which is why his eyes glow when he gets mad at Remus after being ignored by Thomas all day. Idk if I believe that Logan Is Anger^tm but I could see a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde situation since generally when you’re angry logic goes Out The Window.
Tbh though I really hope they’re separate entities because we haven’t seen a different side have such total control over Logan the way Janus and Remus could control the others. Logan isn’t really affected by Janus outside of the hand over the mouth, and he isn’t afraid of Remus. Do you know how fun it would be to have a completely new side just be able to nerf Logan and make him lose his common sense? And it’s not a “oh his dark persona that shares his body” situation?
Like imagine a side that shows up and just completely knee caps Logan. Logan can’t see it but there’s a side behind him feeding into his frustrations, a whisper in his ear when the others try to confront him about it. Because the second logic loses its grip in conflict it opens the door for anger to take the wheel. Anger possesses you and overwhelms you. Maybe Logan is just particularly vulnerable to the manipulation right now because of his repressed emotions.
I just can’t see this going any other way except it all blows up and logic is no longer in the building all we have is A Very Angry Side being boosted in his anger by a side he can’t even *see*.
Even better is if everyone else can see Anger but Logan is just Mad^tm and can’t see anything.
" Past the point of no return
No going back now
Our passion-play has now, at last, begun
Past all thought of right or wrong
One final question
How long should we two wait, before we're one?
When will the blood begin to race?
The sleeping bud burst into bloom?
When will the flames, at last, consume us?... "
i love the scene of adonis noticing that rei was depressed post-crossroads and all the discussions of adonis being particularly clever / observant throughout the story... it really hammers home the adonis and rei parallels. both emotionally intelligent people who feel othered and who are driven by their love for humans and desire to help even strangers to the point of self sacrifice. the major differences between them are caused by adonis' crippling self esteem (which is something he's slowly but surely learning to improve) and rei being treated like a god (something that's also changing as rei allows himself to be fallible)

I hate so much the “sentibeings” plot so much! It goes completely against he idea that the concept of the miraculous is emotion, not creation! (Like Tikki)
At Heroes Day part 2, from what Mayura said, I came to the conclusion that the sentimonster’s aren’t their own person, but, a manifestation of a feeling. Like if the inside out emotions worked like Pokémon.
And that’s why cataclysm didn’t work on them. You can’t destroy an emotion.
Imagine how cool it would be if to control a sentimonster, you had to control your own emotions, and grow as a person? Because the sentimonster is just a part of yourself?
But no. Let’s throw the logic out of the window and say that, somehow, a kwami with the power of emotion can create living beings with free will and thoughts that can destroy the universe. That’s more fun.
(The “senti-Adrien” plot could have worked if he was created with another miraculous with a kwami that had the concept of life, for example. I just don’t like the idea of a miraculous with the power of emotion creating entirely new beings).
It’s so hard to have great tits and correct opinions
Cassian's relationship with Herald is so fucking weird.
He hates Herald for replacing him. He took the Sidestep name to spite him, to spit in the face of his bright eyed hero worship. He envies Herald his gender. He covets all Herald has and is. Herald is his nemesis. Sidestep is Herald's.
He loves Daniel. He basks in the warmth of his thoughts. He revels in the easy way Daniel excepts him. He wears Daniel's clothes to smell like him. He would kill for Daniel. He would burn the world for Daniel.
He's never been more honest with nor told more lies to anyone like he has with Daniel. He can't lose to Herald, but also wouldn't accept being taken in by anyone but Daniel. There's no good ending for them. Cassian wants it anyway.
One thing I really love about Rain World's worldbuilding is how fresh of a take on the Advanced Precursor trope it has, just in the sense that there's a very real sense that the Benefactors were. just people.
Like, in broad strokes they are the Advanced Precursor trope, a bunch of stylish jerks that were there, built some cool ruins, fucked shit up, and are Gone now. But the way they go about it is refreshingly human. Like, ascending to a higher plane of existence is a classic thing for precursors to do but the benefactors give a real sense of what it would be like for a society to do that. Not just in the logistics but in the circumstances that would cause it.
It helps a lot that the remains they left behind are so telling about who they were. There's an endearing mundanity to a lot of the pearls that gives a sense that they were just people in the end, and we don't really get that stuff with other Advanced Precursors in media. I really can't imagine like, a chozo working minimum wage.
The Abandoned Children of The Watcher DLC (a ramble)
(Spoilers ahead, obviously, but this is just a quiet sort of pondering I've been having with myself, feeling an ache so profound where the child in me - lost and afraid and so, so cold - resides.)
I love the thematic change that the Watcher DLC presents us with. I know it's been a point of complaint for many, and to each their own, but I can't help but feel that throwing aside these painful, heartfelt themes, writing them off as rushed design is doing the beauty of the tale that we've been given a disservice.
Rain World - the base game - felt primal. You are an animal, wandering the world - eating, fighting, running and dying, thinking and moving like a rat in a maze, the maze being a god you could never truly hope to understand. And why would you? You have a family to find, and even they are soon forgotten in the pressure of the cycle, drowned out by the rain and the echoing, burning call of the Void.
The Downpour DLC was much more narrative-driven. It was character-based and iterator-focused, putting emphasis on these dying gods that feel less like gods and more like abandoned children, growing in their lonesome and their bitterness, losing themselves in their self-destructive tendencies until there's nothing left but metal slag and somewhat-organic rubble. That seems to be a repeated theme, here.
The Watcher DLC feels much more... personal.
A tale of two children, abandoned, never made to grow up. The Watcher themselves, so plagued by naiveté, busying themselves with toys instead of confronting what the little lost echo tried to tell them.
Spinning Top searching endlessly with a tragic sort of fervor for any evidence that anyone ever missed them, never having been taught the weight of what they were supposed to do, only doing what others did, what they were taught was right, and nothing more. A child, a little girl playing with spinning tops and plushies, made to ascend through that "white door" and leave the reality that they had just barely begun to set foot in behind.
The Prince, even, simply… learning. Growing. A toddler, smashing and breaking and rotting all in its path with delight, seeing what he's doing as something so wonderful. The tragic part about it is that he truly does - for all that he represents, he means well, but the Cycle is callous and omnipotent and cares not for the wishes of a mere child.
A cold, golden hand, marked with an X and sprouting flowers from its palm.
An endless repeating pattern that will consume you utterly if it so wishes.
I cant remember if you can pet the dog in dbh
Listen there are so many good dynamics to come out of Ninjago, but to me glacier (or Cole and Zane) are so special.
Like they really have everything. They have opposing color schemes (black/white, warm/cool). They’re the brains and the brawn. They’re the most mature members on the team. They work so well with one another. They switch between goofy and stone cold serious. They both have vowed (by their parents wishes) to stop evil and protect the innocent. They both had crises due to not being human. They have arcs surrounding feeling empowered even in their new bodies. They both have been fucked over by the plot so many times and yet refuse to die.
I love those two so much, truly the couple ever
he’s too non chalant for me. what if i killed myself. what happened to matches made in heaven.
