When Ping Ping smiles like this (๑◕⤙◕๑)

[rivvszn]

"This world is rotten and those who are making it rot deserve to die. Someone has to do it, so why not me?"

"I am justice! I protect the innocent and those who fear evil. I'm the one that will become the god of a new world that everyone desires!"

"I understood that killing people was a crime. There was no other way! The world had to be fixed!"

“Call me if you’re in a pinch, chant these words three times: ‘The Hero Appears! The Hero Appears! The Hero Appears!’”

—Peco

i've been trying to put my finger on the exact reason ping pong the animation hits so hard for a while now, and i think i finally got it : there's just so much love in it.

the effort and determination poured into creating this masterpiece, every frame painstakingly drawn by the person behind it, every dialogue voice acted in a way that transcends language barriers, transcends the screen itself, the music that pulls you along, promising an unforgettable ride if you just get up and dare to hope. kensuke ushio, i am forever grateful for your existence and your creations. i stumbled upon ping pong by accident while listening to the csm soundtrack, and it is perhaps the best thing to ever happen to me.

and of course, the story itself. the brilliant mind behind it, who put this story into words for all to see and appreciate, Taiyō Matsumoto. the way this story treats its characters, never afraid to show failure, never afraid to show flaws, never afraid to show the ugly and the regret and the desperate and the sadness. never afraid to stand back up, to show passion and friendship and hard work and determination and confidence.

it takes the characters by the hand, it takes you by the hand, and it tells you it's okay to fall because you can get up again. it redefines the word hero again and again, and stops at the simplest yet grandest form of it : the one who shows up when you call them. the one who transcends logic.

genuinely, altered my brain chemistry forever. so jealous of anyone who watches it for the first time.

⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚ patrochilles ˚୨୧⋆｡˚ ⋆

✧ all the stars - kendrick&sza ✧

"I thought of how many nights I had lain awake in this room, loving him in silence."

all the stars are closer i.e. achilles sleeping beside patroclus as the latter lay awake, yearning.

"We were like gods at the dawning of the world, and our joy was so bright we could see nothing else but the other."

the youthful notion that nothing would happen to them, when in fact they were running out of time. the way they were obsessed with each other.

"....they never let you be happy and famous."

corrupt a man's heart with a gift i.e. achilles having enough strength to succumb to pride.

"If you have to go, you know I will go with you."

the fact that both achilles and patroclus didn't care about winning or losing at the end — they simply wanted each other.

"I wish he had let you all die."

"There are no bargains between lions and men. I will kill you and eat you raw."

the way achilles was always uncaring of others, their views, their attitudes, and aware of their lies, their schemes, but the only thing that mattered to him was patroclus.

"I would recognize you in total darkness, were you mute and I deaf. I would recognize you in another lifetime entirely, in different bodies, in different times. And I would love you in all of this, until the very last star in the sky burnt out into oblivion."

"I could recognize him by touch alone, by smell; I would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death, at the end of the world.”

"I am made of memories."

"Go," she says. "He waits for you."

In the darkness, two shadows, reaching through the hopeless, heavy dusk. Their hands meet, and light spills in a flood like a hundred golden urns pouring out of the sun.

enough said.

yoohankim domestic au is so amusing to me because in my mind their average day goes something like han sooyoung sitting on the sofa and arguing with her editor on call while periodically pausing to yell slurs in kim dokja's direction as he loudly reads some fuckass smut book written for bored housewives and yoo joonghyuk lies in a corner listening to knife sounds asmr on full blast trying to sleep 😭😭

much needed addition, series medicine seller is also entitled to diva moments <3

be scared 😈

getonanago enjoyers today i offer you a case of "any song can be about your favs if you try hard enough" :)

tv girl - the blonde!

starting off with satosugu as teenagers, "whisper filthy things into their ears" standing as the distinct sense of youth, how everything was new and fun and felt like it would last forever you know? all sneaky kisses and missions together and thinking themselves untouchable by others.

and then it immediately melts into the phase AFTER getou left, tying into gojo "standing out in the rain" i.e. the initial conviction that getou wouldn't do something like this, wouldn't leave him alone, followed by "keep it up very long just to prove somebody wrong" i.e. gojo continuing his duties desperately despite not particularly caring for strangers' lives himself, just to prove to getou and himself that there is meaning here.

"sang a lonesome song" because it didn't really end at getou did it? nanami left too. and god knows gojo would be the type to distance himself from shoko etc as well at that time, because what's the point if everyone will leave anyway? but then you fast forward some more and suddenly gojo's an adult and nanami's back and then the song gets almost,, softer? in a way? the whole "ra-pa-pa-pa" part. like encouraging gojo to open up once more, to show that maybe his heart has enough space for two, maybe it always did.

or something. ya know.

what if instead of fnaf we had gnaf (galvanized nights at freddy's) and the animatronics assembled to become bunk beds instead of biting children in half
