IN THIS ESSAY I WILL
[follow-up to this two-image post that's worth more than twenty thousand words and altered the course of my life]
#apparently the last time i read this arc straight through was FIVE YEARS AGO and at the time i was so awestruck over it's existence alone#(also: bratty clan head being locked in the cursed room with the cursed love of his cursed life!!!)#that the extent of the textual parallels didn't even register aside from maybe that iconic bench of sadness and general ~themes#but no it's? RIGHT? THERE?#'HE COULDN'T MAKE HER SHARE THE BURDEN HE BORE'#'I WON'T PRETEND TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BEAR THE BURDEN OF THE LEGACY YOU'VE HAD TO SHOULDER'#(the way i SAT UPRIGHT)#i cannot attest to the quality of these translations or comment on the original text#but would be so intrigued if someone could compare how similar/different the wording is for the panels in the middle row#because the choice of language the way it comes across in translation is just.#yeah.#i'm incoherent#(tumblr's suggested tag: i'm inconsolable#which yeah. THAT TOO!!!)#your honour i rest my case???#natsume yuujinchou#horrible exorcists#specifically#horrible exorcist number one#OH AND - AFTERWORD: 'i think these days a person does not have to bear it alone'!!!!!!!!#and it coming from natori of all people#(i am not asking you to abandon your family or who you are and i'm here and i'm not leaving and i'll meet you where you're at)#and though this isn't the first time he's said it the YEARS it's taken him (taken them both) in getting here specifically#and the temptation and hope and promise in it!!! which lets one wonder if maybe just maybe they'll break the cycle or at least make a dent#(doubtful....but i can dream!)#pls send thoughts and prayers as i'm about to undertake homura arc properly for the first time (yes finally) and may not make it out alive#(one day i may or may not also become emotionally equipped to make the unhinged post about the two separate times he's asked and reacts to#have you ever considered quitting exorcism?#alas that day is not today...but maybe in another five years!!!!!)#dont forget we're here forever etc etc etc ETC :)))))
