Oh my god. Impossibly small yet so big

I know some people think it's crazy that Mark stayed to guard Eve instead of going out to fight but it honestly reminded me of Castlevania Nocturne where Richter was 100% willing to let the world fall into eternal night if it meant Annette was alive and safe. Real loverboys right here.

Richie is notoriously cliche

Kremy: What do you want for breakfast?

Twig: I WISH TO DEVOUR THE UNBORN.

Gideon:

Gideon: she wants eggs.

I should never underestimate a fanfic writer’s ability to write an entire fic in which I don’t know if Jason is Robin or Red Hood.

oh how desperately i want the motivation to make a full warrior cats rewrite

I always though Mal's mom was meant to be like "Eleanor" but they stuck an M at the start honestly, Sobbing Emoji. But "Maleanor" also makes me feel less insane since in that scene where she's just handed egg Malleus to Lilia and went to battle, it sounds more like Lilia is saying "Maleanor" than "Meleanor" (Japanese accent pending). Mayhaps they went more with what it sounded like the characters were saying :0 (we don't talk about Doodle Suit to Paint The Roses)

the transliteration of her name is Marenoa (マレノア), which is what all the voice lines are saying! all the Draconias' names start with マレ (Malleus' grandma is Maleficia/マレフィシア) as a nod to Maleficent. :D it's almost certainly a take on Eleanor, which is Erenoa (エレノア), but her name is written in English at a couple points, and I was pretty surprised to see it was Mel instead of Mal!

and, like, that's fine, it wouldn't be first Twst romanization that's tripped me up (like Keito for Cater, I know that's something to do with the loanword specific to playing cards(?) but it's just not how my brain wants to read it). but now Eng has given us Maleanor! and someone else said it was spelled inconsistently between Maleanor and Maeleanor??????? so WHO KNOWS it's a SPELLING FREE-FOR-ALL

I AM torn on which I want to use, because Mel just sounds so cute to me (and is what I'm used to now), but...the Mal consistency is kinda too good to pass up. alas, alas, truly these are the most difficult conundrums of our times. 😔

i’d love to know how much of early day's spn subtext was deliberate or just a happy accident bc the subplot of 1x08 bugs is sam and dean butting heads about how they were raised and sam hating it while dean tells him he should accept it as they protect a family; predominantly a father and son

the father and son argue bc the son is different and not who the father wants him to be while the son feels ignored and shunned (aka sam). sam spends the episode empathising with him and telling him he can look forward to going to college to get away from him just like he did while dean cuts in to say he should stick with his family

the entire episode, dean defends john and the way he raised them ("maybe he needed to raise his voice but sometimes you were out of line"), it even starts with him and sam arguing over their illegal ways of making money and how they were brought up in the life; dean adapting to and enjoying it and sam wanting to be honest and straight

they talk about sam being sure john is and always has been disappointed in him just for dean to say john used to go to stanford whenever he could to check on him and something about his expression is so bitter; like he knows john would never express that care for him

but at the climax when they're trying to get matt to convince his dad to leave, sam is the one telling him to tell the truth and make his dad listen whereas dean tells him to lie; implying he wouldn't trust his son enough to believe him

he outright scoffs at sam and asks him what he was thinking for trying to get matt to tell the truth

the entire episode, dean is advocating for the kid to work it out (almost to just take it) and stay with his family but when push comes to shove, he tells him to lie

sam who spent years resenting john and his family for how they were raised, fell back on "making him listen"; echoing all the arguments he had with john, trying to force him to understand who he is while john's too blinded by vengeance to even begin to try. the same way sam refuses to see how they were raised and why they were raised that way from john’s point of view, hinting at how similar people they are (which still isn’t an excuse but also not the point rn)

dean winchester, the king of repression and masking (and fawning), dean who at this point is still staunchly defending john, tells a shunned kid with a harsh father to pretend in order for his father to care enough to listen to him and believe him

dean knows reasoning won't work bc he's watched it happen over and over again with sam and john

even the way matt tries to say, “but he’s my… (father)” feels like he’s coming over to dean’s point of view; that matt as a son respects his father to enough to tell the truth and no matter how much they’ve fought, that should trump everything. but dean still insists he lies. and matt tells the truth. and his father doesn’t listen

there's no way they intentionally made dean subconsciously know that a man raising his son in a mimicry of how john raised them wouldn't respect or trust his son enough to believe him about something potentially life threatening after half a season of john ignoring them about something potentially life threatening

right?

HOLD UP.

So, I was just made aware that there are actually people out there who are so up in arms about the new “Crow” that they’ve actually expressed that they wish Bill was the one who was killed on set instead of Brandon??? Am I…am I getting that right?!

ARE YOU GODDAMN SERIOUS WITH THAT SHIT…

How cruel and disgusting can you be to actually say that about another human being?? To wish them dead just for, idk, doing their job?? Oh, my god.

And! Not to mention the racist remarks that have apparently been made about Twigs, which is equally abhorrent and sickening. What is wrong with you??

Shame. Just….ugh fucking SHAME.

I’m sure Brandon Lee would be really proud that you are the kind of people claiming to “preserve his legacy”.

Note: I know it’s not all fans of the OG “Crow” saying this shit, but to those who are? Wow.

I didn’t see the inspiration initially but looking at some of the ways people draw siffrin he really does kinda look like komaeda somehow

i would loveeeee if dan started posting his music opinions again. i miss hearing what he has to say, he’s always so precise and detailed and concrete with his opinions. like that man is RIGHT.

in high school i used to listen to his younows and take NOTES on what he’s been listening to and he introduced me to so so many artists and i miss that candidness from him

:(

i know streams/liveshows are so unlikely from either of them at this point but i loved how it was just an outlet for dan to yap. and by god did that man have opinions!! let me hear them again!!!

Comic time! Lucky wakes up in the middle of the night and has a chat with Sen in this one.
