something else interesting about Gon’s birthday being Children’s Day: one Children’s Day tradition is to display dolls of Kintaro, a figure from Japanese folklore. Kintaro is a boy with superhuman strength who was raised by his mother alone on a mountain and so grew up in the wilderness making friends with and learning to speak to animals.
Kintaro in kanji is 金太郎, often translated as “Golden Boy”, with the 金 kin meaning gold. Kanji typically have a few ways of being read and another of 金’s readings is gon.

Five: I want you to kill Leonard but make it seem like an accident
Diego: say no more
Patch, later: Looks like the killer beat him to death with a crowbar and then placed a banana peel by his feet.

the lord of the rings is so honest. so raw. so sincere. so unabashedly from the heart. no snide fourth wall jokes, no attempts to alleviate the heaviness. it is is wholeheartedly earnest in its dedication to portraying hope and love and faith and loyalty and courage, and that is what makes it feel like home to so many of us. it's true to itself. it doesn't pretend to be cool and care less. it cares, a lot, and that is a rare, beautiful thing. it warms our hearts to care for a piece of fiction that was made to care about and be cared about
and we know we aren't going to be punished or ridiculed by the work itself for loving it! no characters killed off cruelly, no plotlines abandoned, no shrugging of shoulders and "well real life is like that. get used to it." we have always needed escapism, and we always will. and middle earth will always be there to escape to
#books#the lord of the rings#you know OP#this might have been the post that really got me to appreciate lotr in a different way#the fact that it's earnest#the fact that it's heartfelt#tolkien cared so much and it shows#i want to write like that#!

read FMA and have become fully fascinated by Van Hohenheim. Genuinely has there ever been a better immortal character. His combination of invulnerability & low self esteem means he has about zero self-preservation instinct and will just let people knock him flat including his own 15 year old son.
His entire deal is that he became superpowerful by convincing 500000 ghosts to talk about their feelings but he's too nervous to talk to his own two sons because he thinks they don't like him. Which to be fair, they do not. but cmon dude.

Tenipuri Reread (7/?) Chapter 42
The true injustice is that this technique would be better known as Tezuka Zone instead of Echizen Zone. But I guess that would’ve created some confusion in the storytelling…

A fun thing about the Phoenix Wright series is that its notion of what counts as weird has no sense of scale. The narrative will make a huge deal out of someone wearing a silly outfit, but the fact that Phoenix’s administrative assistant in the first three games is a teenage wizard who talks to ghosts passes almost entirely without remark.
