God, I'm (yet again) exhausted. What a show. I will say, flaws and all, it's still one of the best animated series I've watched. Ever. No, I don't think it deserves the vitriol it's getting on social media.

I have a LOT of emotions right now. I don't think I'm even thinking straight after watching through everything once. It definitely needs to be re-watched multiple times. No, I'm not offering any kind of insights or anything like that. I think I'm just too emotional seeing my favorite show end.

I really wanna thank the writers, directors, artists, animators, producers, and everyone else who worked on this show for this work of art. It was beautiful, and it's why I love making gifs of this show.

And just because this show has ended, doesn't mean I'll stop making things. There's two whole seasons to work with now. I hope I can have enough free time to post regularly. I still need to make some 8k wallpapers and a ton of gifs haha.

I'll take a break and sleep for now. I'll see what I can make when I wake up tomorrow. I have so many things I want to do, but I also feel like crap and I too, have a life LMAO.

Oh, and I'm still looking forward to the next stories that they tell us! Runeterra truly has amazing lore. Excited to see what's next!

Thank you for all the likes, reblogs, and support you guys give to my lil sideblog! I appreciate you guys so much <3

Imagine little Turtle Tot Leo practicing his best Lou Jitsu grin in the mirror during the nights he can’t sleep. He’s gotta be just like his idol, after all! So he masters the art of the cocky grin, slowly perfecting his imitation.

Eventually that confident grin becomes his default one, and the quiet, happy smile that he’s born with, the one that he first greets his father with, that one is the rarity.

Until the invasion happens. Until he throws himself into the Prison Dimension. Until he’s beaten within an inch of his life and he’s holding onto his last remnant of his family through sheer willpower alone.

In that moment, looking at the photo of the ones he loves, that quiet smile comes back.

you know when you experienced something so traumatizing or grieved too hard your brain sort of temporarily locked that memory to protect you from the pain? i think that's what's been happening to me after deadpool 2 bc tell me why every time i rewatch that movie, i always forget how painful these scenes are?

they always leave me sobbing and totally wrecked but with each rewatch i'd just... forget they would eventually happen and i'd eventually get hurt??

I just listened to drb AAHHH… AAAHH….. IT’S SO GOOD….. the combo live action and cg is amazing the cg is so flawless??? THE WOMEN GETTING A VERSE??? THE HARMONIES????? AND YOU CAN HEAR HOW MUCH THEY’VE IMPROVED ON THEIR RAPPING OVER THE YEARS AAAHHH AHHHHH I MIGHT EXPLODE FROM JOY 😭😭😭😭😭😭 I’m so emotional 🥺😭 I need to rewatch a million times

LIKE!!!!!!! like!!!!!!! the moment the ichirap hit it was like so much more grounded of a performance and it felt more ichiro and that’s how you knew it was re-recorded god i was losing my mind like old bb seiyuu lore lol but amasaki-san actually initially voiced saburo with a deeper tenor, that’s why the og bb intro in drb sounds so deep, he and ishiya-san have similar tenors, so to differentiate from jiro, he pitched saburo higher but that was never reflected in drb uNTIL NOW THE SEIYUU HAVE GROWN INTO THEIR CHARACTERS AND THEIR CHARACTERS STYLE OF RAP THIS IS SUCH A LOVE LETTER TO EVERYONE INVOLVED IN HYPMIC BRO ITS SO GREAT 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Hello, I'm here to annoy you again — sorry — but I was just hit with the angst potential that is Sirius and Harry's remembrance of James and Lily? I mean, Sirius is the only one who tells Harry about them. The way they carry this impossible truth: they are the only ones who remember Jily as people, not as myths.

The rest of the wizarding world remembers James and Lily as symbols—heroes, martyrs, icons to admire or resent. They’re remembered as ideals, not as the messy, breathing, aching humans they were. A name on a gravestone. A tragedy in a history book. A story told to children about love and war and sacrifice.

But for Sirius and Harry, it’s so much more. It’s visceral. For Sirius, it’s too much to bear—he remembers everything. The exact shade of James’s laugh, the way Lily’s hair would curl in the rain, the quiet moments of their lives that no one else bothered to see. He remembers their humanity so vividly that it’s like they’re standing just behind him, a breath away, even though they’re not.

And then there’s Harry, who remembers too little and yet everything all at once. The sound of screams that live in his bones. The flash of green light behind his eyelids. The phantom arms of a mother holding him. Lily, take Harry and run! I'll hold him off - For him, James and Lily are fragments—bits and pieces sharp enough to cut but never enough to hold.

Together, they are the only ones who don’t have the luxury of forgetting that James and Lily were real. They were people. They were imperfect, messy, alive. And they loved so fiercely that it burned into Sirius and Harry in ways they’ll never fully understand.

And, of course, the ache—the ache—comes from the unbearable, unrelenting love Harry and Sirius carry for them. Love so overwhelming that calling it love feels almost insulting, too small a word for something that consumes and reshapes them. For how can you not love people who were made of love? Who lived it so deeply it echoed through every corner of their lives, their laughter, their choices, their sacrifices?

What is life, what is existence, if not to love them? To feel their absence as a hollowing out, a void carved into the center of everything? It is love, yes, but it is also not nearly enough love. It is never enough, because no love could ever fill the space James and Lily left behind.

And that’s what makes it worse than grief. Worse than the neat, distant mourning the world expects of them. This isn’t grief that ends or softens; this is something else, something more jagged and raw, because it is love that keeps living even when the people it belongs to are gone. It’s not the absence of them that hurts the most—it’s the presence of love that has nowhere to go. It is love that feels endless and powerless, and oh, how it hurts. Far more than grief, far more than the empty platitudes of strangers who never understood James and Lily at all.

(Well, that turned out longer than I expected. I’ll go see myself out.)

this!!! is so painfully real!!!! grief is so deeply woven into both their characters u cannot separate it and u put it SO well. it’s so much more than grief, as well. ‘the presence of love that has nowhere to go’ is just. so. 🥺🥺🥺🥺

these two boys, stuck in the past, trying to move forward but unable to without dragging their skeletons with them. even at his moment of death, harry only wanted his parents with him. they’re never far from it.

and i don’t think it’s exemplified better in any way than the halloween feats at hogwarts. everyone celebrates a holiday, or the day when voldemort was vanquished but no one realises it’s also when james and lily died. tbf, even harry in the books doesn’t dwell on it but that’s due to the ridiculous amount of plots going on that day. take that away and you’re left with a boy who has to reckon w the fact that his parents death anniversary is universally celebrated and he’s congratulated for it. that has to hurt so much.

btw mapicc's everything today reminded me so violently of s4 ro and s4 dualities in general but if i think abt it too hard i will Actually Cry as i always do when it comes to dualities so im just gonna joke abt mawn and ignore it for my own sake ^-^

listen it’s none of my business but when you say “Bilbo would have been better for taking the Ring” and then state “Frodo’s character was mishandled” I think maybe you like the Lord of the Rings inside your head more than the one actually written 💀 as if it wasn’t stated multiple times both in the text and by Tolkien himself why Frodo was the Ringbearer. Pleeeeeaaaase PLEEEEAAASE stop giving me gray hairs and take an interest in the text you read and it’s deeper meanings beyond power scaling characters, favoritism and finding the “most efficient way to take the ring to Mordor”. The debates about who should have taken the Ring are the exact same as “they should have flown the eagles to Mordor” except it’s spoken by people who genuinely are avid fans of the books and movies.

Poor Quinn 😭 but why does that kinda sound hot 👀 the way he still went and played after that must’ve been soo painful. We should’ve been there holding his hand

Because it is hot, baby! I was talking about this with someone yesterday. For Quinn, it’s such a contrast to everything else about him like he is so softly spoken, reserved, a little nerdy, kind and gentle so that ~toughness is a little unexpected. Not that we’re stereotyping over here or whatever but do you know what I mean? It really isn’t this serious and like Garly said, it’s not like he was shot, but I’m a simple gal lmaoooo

And I know we only see a tiny little glimpse of what he’s really like so I could be so off base plus I’m down so bad for him so I’m biased. But anyway, there is something so incredibly attractive about a tough guy. Lucky us <3

one of the things i'm most disappointed about is that da:tv will sell well. it's been designed to bring as much new players in as possible, and apparently a lot of people disappointed in it will still buy it on launch day. and ea will keep producing absolute steaming garbage with some ip slapped onto it just because it sells. theyre treating the series with as much respect as netflix originals with their medias.
