Dear Teacher

Dear Teacher, I wish you would tell me the truth, You could if you choose to, Not theories of how to live an ideal life. I wish you would come clean, when I grow old I’ll be spending the rest of my days paying interest and taxes. I wish you could tell me not only who discovered what, but how they came to be notable humans enough to admire their reflection in the mirror. I wish you could…

like ok heres the thing. inho infiltrated the games to earn gihuns trust and then break him and get him on his side right. ok. but he didnt have to do everything he did.

like, he didnt have to defend him so threateningly against player 100 (arguably... possessively... like bro he aint going NOWHERE calm your ass DOWN!!!) or like, he didnt have to call him 'gihun', he couldve, SHOULD HAVE, called him 'hyung', but he calls him fucking??? gi-hun-shi?????? INSANE BEHAVIOUR.

he didn't HAVE to smile at him then, so bright-eyed. he didn't have to share his tragic backstory. he didn't even have to fucking help him with the revolution, he didn't have to shoot his guards he could've pretended to be a terrible shot. he could've betrayed him anytime and yet chose to maintain his mystery until he got away from gi-hun and FAKED HIS DEATH. like what possibly could he gain from this?? gi-hun must find out who he is sooner or later, who cares if it's sooner??

HE CARES. HE. CARES. whether you view them romantically or not, in-ho CARES. there's a piece of him that plays into this entire inner conflict that makes him CARE. FOR GI-HUN. HE CARES FOR GI-HUN even to SOME degree. and that is INSANE to me.

I really like the idea that Danny has like a 6th sense for Crazy Billionaires TM. Like he’s so used to Vlad and all his shenanigans that he can clock crazy from a mile away.

Cue Bruce Wayne talking with Danny and giving him his classic disarming Brucie Wayne smile and Danny just immediately narrows his eyes like “I know what you are”

Better yet it’s Batman who comes up to him and Danny is like *sniff sniff* “yeah you got money, I automatically don’t trust you on principle”

Chilchuck is one of those special characters where you learn about his past and you go “ohhhh that explains a lot” except where for most characters this happens like once or maybe twice, with Chilchuck it happens literally any time you learn anything at all about him, and every time it’s explaining a different thing he has going on.

hi guys on today's episode of "vi can't be normal about one piece" we are talking about the insane parallels between zeff and sanji and luffy

guys. guys this is happening exactly as both zeff and (adult) sanji give up on their dream. zeff is at this point all but given up on the all blue and sanji now has resigned himself to the fact that he has to die to save the crew.

enter: the ones that fight for their dreams kicking screaming. stubborn and relentless.

look at this scene. this fucking scene. the blood in sanji's face and how stubborn he is about not giving up on his dream. he will not let it end here. he will weave the strings of fate himself if he has to. he will drag himself through hell. he will not give up. it doesn't end here.

this is so fucked up. luffy is fighting for his dream when he has given up on it. he is thinking "sanji can't be strong for himself now, so i will be strong for him. i will save him. from everyone waiting to harm him and from himself." sanji has buried the kid in him that longs to find the all blue and here we see luffy dig the ground the child lies in with bare hands. he will not let it end. not here. not now.

this is what kept him alive. zeff's sacrifice. zeff's gamble and belief that this kid that he doesn't even know will find the all blue. that he will do what he couldn't. now what makes this scene so important is the two ways this can be seen. in zeff's eyes, it's his choice. he chose to save sanji with no prior knowledge about anything about him because whatever he saw in sanji at that moment in the ship, he wanted to keep alive. it is an ultimately selfish motive. is it kind? yes, definitely. but it's not selfless. the other way you can see this through sanji's eyes. sanji, who has been told all he is is a burden and that his life is worthless is now being kept alive by a man who he doesn't even know. he has thrown his life away for sanji. sanji looks at it like this: "zeff is a kind man. he helped me because he couldn't let a child starve. what he did for me is an obligation where he was forced into a corner." sanji interprets this as an altruistic action and that he is now indebted to him forever.

luffy didn't sacrifice a leg for sanji, but he was ready to die. he KNEW he wouldn't, though. because he knows sanji and his bleeding heart and his love. once again, sanji and his dream is saved by another person starving for him. the main thing that distinguishes this scene from the zeff one is that this was a choice, without doubt. luffy KNOWS sanji. he has seen the ugliest parts of sanji and he still loves him. he is ready to give up his life for sanji with no ulterior motive. he doesn't want sanji to carry on his dream or do anything for him. he knows what sanji wants, but after this scene, he still asks. "what does sanji want?" he pulls the truth out of the hollows of his chest. he doesn't flinch at what he sees there. he sees sanji's hunger, want and kindness so vast that it can even be considered naive. he doesn't flinch. he simply smiles.

Ok to anyone who says “Kaz Brekker doesn't care about his crows! He only cares about Inej!” no he fucking does okay? There’s plenty of examples but I’m gonna use Nina because people tend to say the two of them aren't really friends above anyone else-

“Kaz had considered trying to eavesdrop on Matthais and Brum in the ballroom, but he didn't want to lose sight of Nina when there were so many drüskelle around.” 

Kaz Brekker, the man who deals in information, the man who does not trust Matthais, allows him to walk away alone with his ally and Kaz’s technical enemy all because he doesn't want Nina, a Grisha, to be alone in a room full of drüskelle who would be willing to hurt her if they found out who she was. He is not willing to leave her alone, unprotected, even if it would cost him his life and the mission. If that doesn't show care i don't know what does.

That's my baby brother you attacked

Jazz stood in her Fenton Ghost Peeler Suit and crossed arms before a group of Gothams vigilantes. Her little brother was hugging her around the shoulder, in his Phantom form and floating. His face pressed into her shoulder and letting out quite ghostly whines couple with her name in ghost speech. He was clearly distressed.

With crossed arms, she glared at Gotham's vigilantes. They stood before her as a group. But the front took... Nightwing? She believed that was the name he used to introduce himself, who had the current Robin clinging to his arm. The kid looked as distressed as her brother, and normally, she would care to help, but right now, she was in protective sister mode. HER brother came first.

"We really mean no harm. It's just Robin and the others mistook him for a clone, and we would like to-"

"No." She cut the guy off. She glanced at HER baby brother, still refusing to look up and face the situation as he made another ghostly whine, before looking back at the group of vigilantes.

"I can see how they could be related." She raised an eyebrow below the visor at how hopeful the groups stance became. They don't know Danny's human form, but that's the excuse they use for attack her brother? They assumed he was a clone just because he looked like the inverted image of one of them? Fat chance that she would let them anywhere near him now. "But, you attacked MY baby brother-"

"And we are very sorry about that!" Nightwing cut in but Jazz ignored it.

"The point is you attacked him. I don't care if they are related. This is MY baby brother and if that is their reaction on seeing him and handling his own ghost rogues. I will NOT allow them to be part of his life unless Phantom wants it himself."

Turning around, she pat her baby brothers head and whispered to him in ghost speech. "Common Danny, let's go. Let's visit that planetarium you wanted to see later. After that we never have to come to Gotham again, I can go to another university somewhere far away from here."

They didn't know Phantom was Danny Nightingale, neither did they know that she was Jasmine Nightingale. This would be a one-time meeting and stay that way. Her baby brother did not need people like that in his life after the falling out with their parents they had.

this is fucking revisionist history no the fuck you didn't clark

Jason's approach to Nico is actually SO tactful and empathetic. He is super emotionally and strategically intellectual + he is canonically an expert at reading body language because of lupa + he also observes people a lot, so I'm not surprised.

He called Nico out and told him to stop hiding in the shadows and pushing people away, but simultaneously reassured him that he was willing to be nicos friend. He gave nico a blunt reality check on what he's doing, but wasn't rude about it.

He never told anyone nicos secret, not even his girlfriend, and was very patient with him even after he lashed out. And after their friendship evolved, he was STILL very tactful and sought consent before he hugged Nico. He never forced or guilt tripped nico into staying at camp, and respected his decision if he wanted to leave but told him he'd always be welcome in both camps.

He also went to Nico's cabin simply to check on how he was doing and reassure him that he'd always be there for him no matter what (kind of like how he went to piper's room on the argo ii to check on how she was doing even though HE was the one who got stabbed by a sword like 5 mins ago lol-)

And that little scene where Jason got excited after nico said he's staying and just overflowed nico with plans on what they could do (like sing in campfires) but immediately apologized for overwhelming nico so much , while assuring him that they didn't have to do all that if nico didn't want to, and that he's just glad nico was staying.

Ugh jason grace the man you are

My bias for Faifa and Wine is on full display in episode twenty-three of Perfect 10 Liners. Everyone else can eat dirt because I only care about my Lapis Lads!

Faifa wakes up happy to be alive with his Blue Boy right next to him, and everything is right in the world!

And I'm not even that mad at Black Brooder Yotha and Green Guy Gun (who seems to be slightly wearing his man's color)

Because their antics caused Blue Boy Faifa to pout which allowed Wine to deliver all the kisses his man wanted because Faifa will never be denied another thing that makes him happy as long as Wine is alive!

And now our other Blue Boy Phuri gets to witness his buddy in ultimate bliss because he has a boyfriend who loves him with his whole heart!

But while Faifa is finally living his best life, Green Guy Po lost his color after his partner (????) broke up with him for being too nice, which not only came as a surprise to him, but to me too since I had no idea he even had someone!

But his friends barely seem prepared to handle their friend's emotions since Blue Boy Sand isn't even in his color, and I have to squint to see Yellow Yal Arm in his color, but at least he is wearing Red Rascal Arc's color in the text on the shirt.

But we won't see those colors again since only my Blue Boys seem to care about sticking to the color assignment!

How does a heartbroken Green Guy get his color back, but these other guys can't wear their designated color?! I need answers, wardrobe department! I know twenty-four episodes is a lot, but I need the boys in their colors AT ALL TIMES!

Not even the ones who are about to be engaged can commit to their colors!

But I appreciate Klao for admitting he doesn't know how to propose since he is too hood, so he goes to a rich boy to ask how he can soften his approach even though I'm sure Warit would have been fine with Klao proposing during sex with his hand around his throat.

But anyways . . .

BACK TO MY LAPIS LADS!

I love that Wine finally squashed this bullshit the family continues to tote out about Faifa.

His man not only knows how to love, but Faifa does it soooo well that Wine wanted to boo him up from the start and is about to go get that bracelet for his man so Faifa is constantly reminded that Wine loves him just as much as Faifa loves Wine!

Look at this dark Blue Boy! He is over everyone's shit. With the power of Faifa's love, he can do all things, and he is going to prove to the man he loves that he IS loved even if he has to go to an indie music festival alone to get that bracelet. We know he hates traveling, but our boy is so committed to his man, that he is willing to do whatever it takes to make Faifa understand how much he is loved!

Tawan was just out there making Wine do random drills since he couldn't give him any love advice BECAUSE FAIFA ALREADY MADE SURE WINE KNEW HE WAS LOVED!

So, of course, Wine would imagine his man there with him after he lied to him because Wine doesn't lie to his guy! He told Faifa he was meeting Tor, and even though Faifa was upset about it, he said he would be an idiot to not trust Wine, but now Wine lied to Faifa because he wants to show him how much he loves him by getting that bracelet for his birthday because Faifa is the best boy to ever exist!

Who is doing it better than this Blue Boy? NOBODY!

And that's why Faifa booted his mom out of his car at the airport, went to Wine's friends to see where his man really was, then went to that music festival TO HELP HIS GUY since he knew Wine, who hates traveling, was not prepared for this adventure instead of getting mad at him for lying to him.

And that's why Faifa deserves all the love he is about to get from Wine.

Yes, the vibe is right and it's time for our 20-year-old Blue Boy to finally get everything he deserves.

IT'S A BLUE BOY SPECIAL!

THE LIGHTING DEPARTMENT UNDERSTANDS THE ASSIGNMENT!

MY LAPIS LADS ARE GETTING THE ULTIMATE BLUE LIGHT TREATMENT!

And Faifa still has enough brain function to drop the banger of a line letting Wine know if he gets cold without his clothes on, instead of stopping, he will hold Wine tighter!

AYEEEEE!!!!!!

I'M OBSESSED! I LOVE IT!

You know that post on here detailing exactly how horse people become horse people through a process of extremely intentional and carefully cultivated empathic and compassionate understanding and constant self-regulation in order to keep a horse calm enough to trust you and let you ride it that ultimately results in a bond forged between man and horse so profound that of course you become a horse girl, you had no fucking chance of not?

Andrew would absolutely be amazing with horses. No I will not elaborate, if you've read AFTG then I don't need to. Give that man a ranch and some 'troubled cases' and watch that man master the equestrian art. But also,

Neil is so The Horse coded. I will continue to not elaborate, y'all know what I'm getting at.
