#GOD THIS FUCKING SHOWWWW

[hella1975]

'the final pages of the report include a few interesting details. they note that every hero at the scene explicitely said that no work study students participated in the fight against shigaraki. our part was erased from the record. that denial is the only reference to me, kacchan and todoroki in the entire document' IM SORRY? THE VILLAINS ARE RIGHT DOWN WITH HEROES. DENYING THEIR PART WHILE THEY'RE LITERALLY BEING WHEELED TO HOSPITAL UNCONSCIOUS? WHEN THE FIGHT WOULD HAVE BEEN LOST WITHOUT THEM? WHY DID KIDS NEED TO BE ON THE BATTLEFIELD ANYWAY AND THEN AFTERWARDS WHY ARE YOU MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THE LEGALITY OF IT THAN THE PART THEY PLAYED? i hope you all die

[puppyeared]

Remember how ppl used to draw Luz’s Palisman as a blue jay before String Bean was revealed. so she could match with Hunter and Flapjack

[waitmyturtles]

THIS. EPISODE. DID. ME. IN. Moonlight Chicken episode 5 thoughts:

1) Let’s just call this episode ONLY FRIENDS, AMIRITE? Alan, Jim, let me tell you about this showwww...

2) No, seriously, this was another case -- as I am learning about Aof’s oeuvre -- where he packs SO MUCH into one episode that my head is left spinning (I’m still recovering from episode 10 of Bad Buddy). Like I reblogged earlier today: I LOVE that Aof is messing with the couplings, the GMMTV recipes. Love it, love it, love it. Seeing First and Mix get cute gave me the shivers, I can’t lie. 

3) We get the history of Wen and Alan. We get a lovely repeat of a trope he so beautifully memorialized in Bad Buddy. We get the other side of that trope -- when the relationship ends, the memories sour. 

How do you deal with that -- how do you process that? Oh lord, we got to see that through Wen, his processing, his thinking. His sympathy and compassion to Alan, which he still had! He still had their ring! Wen was willing to face Alan’s sarcasm, to take the hits, because he was afraid of truly breaking Alan -- until he absolutely HAD to break Alan, to break his own misery and fate. 

God, could Mix and First have done any better with demonstrating the hills and valleys of a relationship? I’m shaking my head because, while it was devastating to watch, it all rang SO TRUE. Aof didn’t flinch at the pain, the stomach twists, of the demise of this relationship. Ugh, even Alan at the bank with the loan situation. The SIMMERING! The anger, the sadness, the RECOGNITION that his bond with Wen was on the way out. With or without Jim there. AND -- Alan talking about Wen as if Wen were a possession. First SHOWED US what Alan’s fucking problems were! Oh, my gut. So painful to watch. 

4) And then. Jim and Wen at the chicken rice stall. And WEN, pushing JIM! Inherited trauma much, Wen?

We know why Jim is holding back from Wen at that point. We know Jim is preoccupied with his past. Whether or not Wen is acknowledging it doesn’t matter at that moment. What Wen is doing is pushing Jim like Alan pushes Wen. And Jim is like, hold up, hands up, I don’t want none of y’alls drama right now. I’m not there for this. (Which, to be honest, I took as a legit position at that point, despite feeling sorry for Wen. I appreciate a no drama stance from an OG uncle.)

5) But Wen. My heart for Wen. What I loved about the interconnection between his conversation with Gong and his run through beautiful outdoor Pattaya, recollecting everything he was going through -- we know what Wen’s moral conflict is. His moral conflict is that he’s earning money through a job that will destroy a key corner of Pattaya’s culture, the culture he’s experiencing at the moment of his run. His ability to function as an adult is literally impeded by his guilt towards Pattaya, towards Jim, towards the culture he’s going to influence deeply, and by his ability to afford (or not afford) his own place. His guilt towards Alan. His desperation towards Jim. His own poverty, financially and emotionally. 

Is he looking for Jim to save him? And, is that Jim’s role? 

6) And I haven’t even begun to talk about Heart and Li Ming yet. (THERE’S SO MUCH IN THIS EPISODE. I’ll come back to Jim and Wen once more before this is done.)

Firstly, with Fourth and Gemini -- LOVED THE FAN SERVICE. And I’m not even watching MSP, but I am sure the MSP fans loved the mascots and the pictures -- super sweet. Wen’s cute-cute uncle smile towards the two teens, gah, my twinkling heart.

7) Y’all, I really don’t know how much more I can take of these damn parents in dramas right now, lol. I just posted this today to help me process all the family trauma I’ve been seeing lately in the dramas I’ve been watching (and tbh, I’m doing it to myself, right, I’m choosing my own dramas, but STILL). 

But to see Heart’s parents struggling to communicate with their son. And to acknowledge that they haven’t had anyone to interpret for Heart in three years. And to see those parents actually have the motherfucking audacity to cry over Heart’s anger about literally being abandoned. 

[All bad drama parents that I’m experiencing right now -- please come with me as I lock you in a windowless room so you can ruminate on your crimes. (Which you won’t, because you’re all sociopathic narcissists, but ANYWAY.)]

@wen-kexing-apologist‘s prediction that Li Ming would become an interpreter was right for the present moment, and I loved that that came true. Along with this -- I absolutely LOVE that many of Heart and Li Ming’s conversations are not subtitled. I LOVE THIS, I LOVE IT, I LOVE IT. 

What all of this does for me -- the un-subtitled conversations, the interpreting -- it demonstrates the growth of their intimacy. Why should us as the audience -- WHY SHOULD HEART’S PARENTS -- be privy to a couple’s most intimate moments? Heart’s parents think they could control him, because they were clearly ashamed of him. Heart TRUSTED Li Ming to communicate to his parents Heart’s most critical thoughts and feelings. What gorgeous intimacy to see growing between the two teens. The trust. Heart can only trust Li Ming at this moment, because he can’t trust his parents -- not only with his inner thoughts, his own personal intimacy, but to even give him basic emotional care. 

@bl-inded’s analysis was spot on. I, too, also got the sense that Heart’s parents thought that they were doing enough, because they were taking basic care of their son without further engaging with him -- because they were ashamed of him, maybe even disgusted with him. What purpose would Heart serve to them after he lost his hearing? I’m sure they asked themselves that question (or, at least, Asian viewers/us broken Asian children would KNOW inherently that they asked themselves that question). 

8) A few last passing thoughts:

- I wish I could find the post here on Tumblr, but someone once wrote that the things that we fall in love with when we first meet a person -- their sarcasm, say, their sense of humor, their stubbornness -- those things often become the qualities that we end up hating as the relationship ends. Because the sarcasm gets turned back into the relationship. Oh, Alan. 

- I thought the use of sound and music were wisely leveraged. I loved the chirping outside the outdoor restaurant where Alan and Wen were eating during the break-up. It was very indicative of Pattaya’s outdoor eating culture. AND: when did we NOT hear music? When we saw Heart’s unused keyboard on his dresser as the camera pulled back on him and Li Ming as he wept. 

- Finally: I really liked the slight flip of the paradigm of older culture vs. modern culture at the end of the episode. I kind of felt like it was the younger crew --Wen and Li Ming -- who were the brave ones of the episode, to step up and out to reflect how they wanted to move forward in their worlds. Li Ming WAS going to support Heart, no matter what. And Wen WAS going to confront Jim, no matter what, and demand comfort from Jim -- because he know that Jim has comfort to offer.

What the HELL will we be faced with tomorrow, oh my god. I’m going to need a large cup of hot water with lemon, please, my poor heart!

I’m actually going to give this episode 🐔🐔 for the Khao Man Gai Appreciation Rating -- even though we didn’t see KMG, we got a clutch cooking tip from Uncle Jim about the old winter melons. AND, y’all, I made one of Hot Thai Kitchen’s KMG sauces, nam jim tao jiew the other night and it was bomb. Highly recommend!

[lurkingteapot]

Won't get through to you. 君には届かない。Ep 7

I was very, very curious to see where we'd go from the ending of ep 6, and this episode did not disappoint, either.

My running commentary for the first part of the episode was like this:

Yamato: oh kiddo, you fucked upppp but at least you're aware, I guess?

Mikoto! I love Mikoto, she's the best

oh Kakeru, bb, you're being so brave

oh!!! is all of our preview the first five minutes?? I love this showwww EVERYONE

Hosaka dear, I know you mean well but fffff this is. not it.

aaaaah dang it, I want to go to a festival, too

「暴走した」って … I mean I guess that's one way to put it.

Hosaka and Amamiya really do go and show up everywhere together, huh.

oh they'Re so CUTE goddAMN

Good job on apologising, Yamato, now don't do it again.

!!! KAKERU!!!! IYA NANTE YUTTENAI YO?! Kakeru my BOY!!

(watch me needing to rewind because I missed stuff squeeing)

oh my goodness these TWO

adsfasfasdf HOSAKA あんなあ your timing …

Fujino's shock :'D

love how Kakeru and Yamato are both determined to be better for themselves and each other, I love it

deus ex kokuhaku no hi, huh

Akane-chan, ILU

ahahaa well-timed cold, huh. if it weren't Yamato I feel like he's probably playing hookie

Fujinoooo

oh hi Kurosawa

character growth!

ahaha he WAS-- oh!!

god they're so CUTE

Kakeru's being so brave!! Yamato's so dramatic!!

ahaha did he really realise the day after?! I mean RELATABLE (I once wrote an email for someone's birthday, wanted to open with something else, and ended up forgetting to include the congrats altogether), but ….

oooh yakiimo. damnit now I want some.

Kakeru my BOY!!!!

--godDAMNIT of COURSE

and also OF COURSE he caught a cold

Yamato is absolutely doing that whole "commenting on how lucky the doll is and how cute Kakeru is out loud" thing on purpose

boy you do notttt kiss people when they're asleep, come on, you were doing so well all episode!

this preview is telling me next week will be another rollercoaster.

Sorry if anyone's still waiting for ep 6 subs; I had a number of brickspace things come up :( hope to get them and ep 7 out by the end of the week though.

[eruditetyro]

And another thing. I am still thinking AB that convo we had about her not wanting pynch to be endgame by the end/feeling too constrained by the fandom because it DOES SHOWWWW which makes me sad bc my brother is reading trc (finally convinced him) and I love them so much in it

OK so hot take essay time.

YA lit and tumblr-popular lit in general, imo, seem to have a problem with breakups (they do not do them! and if they do, they only do them in relationships where the reader Knew they were not endgame). and often, this is fine: the story ends at a high point for the characters, often newly in love or feeling newly secure in their relationships. trc ended here: the obstacles of the series were done, and everyone was ready to explore the new romance between them. that's a great place to end a story. tdt continues beyond this point, and it tells a story that has different stakes, different goals, and a different endgame. life's like that too-- things change, and people change, and sometimes the tension unearths some previously hidden cross-purpose or incompatibility. sometimes these things are resolvable and sometimes they're not and sometimes whether they are or not depends wholly on some external factor. relationships are complicated! and sometimes they are really, really good, and they still end. sometimes they even end poorly when at the beginning they seemed perfect. and i think we are so scared to explore that in stories because it's fucking depressing, and it lengthens the story: you can't just end a series with a ronan who has just gone through a breakup. you'd have to take him back to joy somehow. and after a breakup with someone like adam, a relationship like the one they had, i think it'd take a while for ronan to get back to joy somehow. and the story would have to work him through it.

i don't think maggie originally intended for pynch's story to go that way (i think this is how relationships in real life work too: you don't go into them expecting to break up) but i think with how the characters grew over the course of the dreamer trilogy, it would have made sense, narratively, for them to break up. i think that if they had broken up in greywaren, the series would have had to have been more than a trilogy, in order to end it with ronan anywhere near fine. ronan, a character with (manic) depression, would have a hard time coming back. and i think it would have been quite a difficult thing to write. breakups can be a type of grief and mourning, and ronan has experienced so much of that already. i don't think maggie keeping pynch together was necessarily a copout, but i do wish i still believed in them at the end.

and, you know, maybe it was kind of a copout. can you imagine what the general fandom response would have been to a pynch breakup? god. it would have been terrible. the only reason blue and adam got away with dating and breaking up the way they did was because the reader knew from the beginning they weren't endgame: pynch WAS endgame for trc, and to write tdt, and have the appearance of a heel turn on that? oh my god, people would have been so angry. (I would have really liked it though, for reasons we have previously discussed.)

in general, i am struggling to think of a piece of media i've read where there's a heartbreak on the level a pynch breakup would've been. certainly there are movies where a character starts from some time after a breakup, and is maybe confronted with their ex to add complexity to the plot of them getting with someone new. but i think that it just takes a long time to write a relationship that's that compelling at the beginning and then ends, and then to bring it back to a high note. it's not something that often happens on-page.

anyway. as i've said. i'm a pynch breakup truther. i still LOVE LOVE LOVE them and their dynamic in the raven cycle. genuinely they are so good for each other in that series. but the fact of the matter is that for the vast majority of the dreamer trilogy, their relationship is rocky at best, and a mind meld scene just didn't cut it as a resolution to that for me (is it enough for two people to want each other, when there are practical forces against them, or when what they want from each other is in conflict?). anyway. i think the fact that they end up like that later doesn't negate how nice it was at the start. just because something ends doesn't mean it wasn't good back when it was good. i think both states of their relationship are allowed to be true. anyway. that's my opinion on that.

[peepawleo]

You would only be hurting Levi as I’m am the substitute anger demon so his true self doesn’t showwww
