#I swear that show changed my life

[unrealcosima]

I think at the end of the day, one of the most impressive things about gap (and many Thai shows in general) is that it's on YouTube, for free, for the whole world to watch. That's it. They just created this dream show on a decent budget and then uploaded it on YouTube, with subtitles, not geoblocked, and if you have access to the intenet you can just watch it. No subscription, no demands.

It feels a bit surreal in a world where you're asked to pay for services and then watch your show fast and get everyone to pay as well and also watch it fast or you won't get any more of it.

But Thailand is giving me some of my favorite and fondest media memories, and is doing it completely for free. Bless them.

Kaeya: Diluc gets rid of things he doesn’t need anymore…with how much he resents me, I must be no different-

Diluc:

Never banned Kaeya from the tavern, even with their History and how much Kaeya pesters him there nor makes any moves to

Kept every single letter Kaeya wrote to him while in Snezhnaya, which was also the vast majority correspondence penned by one person he kept in the Winery's stash (every Letter in Beautiful Handwriting/Hidden Strife Event)

Kept the fucken vase Kaeya used on a whim to give his Vision back in, even if it did NOT match the decor of the Winery (Genshin Manga/Venti SQ/Kaeya Hangout)

Was extremely patient with Kaeya accusing him of casting aside Crepus' legacy in response to him telling Kaeya to drink responsibly (Venti SQ)

In that same dialogue, was more in disbelief/offended that Kaeya seemed to believe he would ever think of callously throwing him out than by Kae's comment abt Crepus of all things (Venti SQ)

Stayed with Kaeya on the island the entire time, no matter how much they bickered, even though he could have gone after one of the others or even taken off on his own like they did instead (Midsummer Island Adventure)

Was genuinely surprised/touched when Kae revealed he thought fondly of their childhood days gathering seashells (Echoing Tales)

Let himself get arrested for Kaeya’s harebrained scheme to save a little girl Luc didn't even know about previously, and RIGHT after Kaeya outright accused HIM of being the murderer too (Genshin Manga)

Gave Kaeya a free drink without being asked when he came to visit him to deliver the aforementioned vase after the scheme was complete (Genshin Manga)

Never refuted Kaeya's claim that Dawn Winery was his home too, nor Kae's claims that people had every right to visit 'home' during festival seasons (Weinlesefest)

Let Kaeya score free booze for the Knights to distribute for the Weinlesefest to help better their image, that Lisa specifically sent Kaeya to ask of Diluc bc she KNEW Diluc wouldn’t say no to him (Weinlesefest)

Expressed he would have Elzer speak with Hertha bc Kaeya mentioned the Knights' financial situation as an afterthought, despite how much Diluc dislikes the Knights (Weinlesefest)

Got moody bc Kaeya didn’t want to stay for dinner and IMMEDIATELY jumped at the chance to make Kaeya stay when Addie intervened to insist (Weinlesefest)

Lets and NEVER stops the servants from referring to Kaeya as ‘master’ too (They do so freely in front of him in Weinlesefest & Kaeya Hangout in particular)

Was perfectly okay with Kaeya staying at the Winery when he left, even after their dispute (Letter with Clear Handwriting/Hidden Strife)

Always remembers every single one of Kaeya’s silly excuses to try and get free wine out of him, and teases him for forgetting which he’s already used & precisely how long ago he did (Kaeya Hangout)

Is said, by Elzer, to in fact be completely fine with Kaeya stealing drinks from the Winery, even if he outwardly complains abt it (Kaeya Hangout)

Solemnly asks about Kaeya when he thinks Kaeya already left, and unpromptedly talks him up to Traveler in regards to Kae's own ability to the Winery (Kaeya Hangout)

As heart-shattering and agonizing it was to witness Yichan's accident and subsequent loss of hearing despite Eungyeol's several desperate attempts to prevent it, I don't think this show could have taken a better route for the ending.

Eungyeol's objective of going back in time wasn't to reverse his father's disability, as that was destined to occur, but rather to ensure that Yichan could lead a fulfilling life in spite of it.

Even after losing his hearing, Yichan accomplishes all his aspirations, pursuing higher education, achieving success, and building a wonderful, affectionate family. Plus, he remains devoted to music & keeps in touch with all his friends.

And, Chungah, who was born deaf and didn't have an accident to prevent, also benefits from Eungyeol's efforts to make the world more inclusive for her.

The emphasis on sign language throughout the show is exceptionally beautiful & it has convinced me (and probably many others) to learn it.

Twinkling Watermelon moved me so much I'm genuinely never getting over it.

scary that there's still Will bowlcut haters around. like... that's his core character design, it looks nice too. sorry to all the different hairstyle enjoyers out there but Will without a bowlcut simply wouldn't be Will to me. that's the side effect of them doubling down on that one single hairstyle for 8 years. they can style it different or make it messier sure, but he needs Some version of a bowlcut otherwise who is that

"I'm not asking for a heart / or the brains to be savant / or courage, though I need that too..." - Peter Chaily, 'Just A Girl'

i am losing it actually the writing in this show - it's such a brilliant way to incorporate the Wizard Of Oz reference to subtly (or i mean. unsubtly. as the case may be) make a joke* about Peter being a 'friend of dorothy' "i'm not asking for a heart" (tin man) "or the brains [...]" (scarecrow) "or courage..." (cowardly lion)

and like - yeah it's kind of obvious, but it's still a really fun, clever way of incorporating the themes that surround Peter as a character and create a more solid sense of the taboo of him admitting that he's capital-G-Gay (and i didn't pick up on it until literally this afternoon despite semi-regularly listening to the demo tracks, so make of that what you will) (and i mean. arguably it's him literally asking to not be a friend of Dorothy/Gay, to avoid asking for anything that Those characters in particular would want)

*i wanna say that obviously the euphemism/flagging itself is not the joke, like it's a real and legitimate thing, but i'm sure you get me

[hershelwidget]

yeah i made my first mlp oc. his name is silly shit and he’s just some freak pinkie pie can summon out of nowhere to kill someone. yeah he’s also helplessly fruity

[wretcheddthing]

whether or not joel was right is quite literally a ten year old debate.

he was btw. ik it’s hard to come to that conclusion when all nuance has been stripped from the story and spoon fed back with training wheels for surface level moral character analysis.

Heading back to my roots, it’s been so long since I’ve drawn an aikatsu!!!!!

Also! For the kids out there who are like "but then how will I know who is and isn't safe for me to talk to on the internet?"

No one.

The answer is no one.

Now, that doesn't mean you can't have fun, fulfilling, productive etc. talks or friendships with people online! It doesn't mean you have to be shut away in fear of danger! What it *does* mean is that even if the person you're talking to seems like the best most perfect person in the world, always remember that *you don't know who they are*. They might be the person they say they are, or they might be lying for fun/profit. And honestly, it doesn't matter which! You should never go into online interactions and share personal, identifiable information. Nor should you expect others to.

And honestly? If that still doesn't do it for you, then do it to fuck over the feds. This data is stored. It is stored by the people that run the app or the service or the ip address. A record of it can be dug out of your device or the other parties'. Like, even if we discount the government, I don't trust Tumblr not to like, ever get hacked or something! That is why I do not give the website my information directly (here is my credit card info and full legal name Tumblr!) Or indirectly (hello friend I am messaging you my full address so we can hang out!). Sure some shit being somewhere is inevitable, but like... don't make shitty people's jobs easier for them.

The internet and the people on it is like the jungle, arctic, or any other wild environment.

It probably doesn't want you specifically dead. But it *definitely* doesn't give a damn about your wellbeing.

@ my fellow adults who use tumblr a lot:

can you PLEASE put your age in your about/sidebar and make sure it’s accessible on mobile. imo if you’re an adult esp 20+ it’s a little weird that you wouldn’t have your age readily available on your blog. if you’re reading this now and you don’t have your age listed, please rectify that. i feel like teenagers get lured into talking to adults in fandom/lgbt spaces that they may not have intentionally sought out because they think they’re talking to other teenagers, and this can lead to a lot of other – much more insidious –problems
