— MUTUAL CATCHUP —
Thank you for the tag, @verysmallcyborg! Now prepare to learn about the most boring person on tumblr.
LAST SONG: Landmines by Sum 41
CURRENTLY WATCHING: Thorlar on Twitch
THREE SHIPS: Mizu x Akemi (Blue Eye Samurai), Ah Toy x Nellie (Warrior), Red x the Man (Transistor)
FAVORITE COLOR(s): Grays, black, deep yellows, soft greens
CURRENTLY CONSUMING: Final Fantasy XIV, Phasmophobia, coffee
FIRST SHIP: I don't even know, because I was never really into shipping until I tried FFXIV RP (I'm a late bloomer). Maybe Tifa x Aerith?
PLACE OF BIRTH: smile
CURRENT LOCATION: "With roughly 3.9 million residents within the city limits as of 2020, Los Angeles is the second-most populous city in the United States, behind only New York City." Thanks, Wikipedia.
RELATIONSHIP STATUS: @nolcro
LAST MOVIE: My Neighbor Totoro, with @oh-yeah-no & @this-is-ris ♡
CURRENTLY WORKING ON: A work report you really don't want to hear about. If crimes aren't back online soon, I may return to adding entries to my original urban fantasy world; started it a few years back out of frustration at the lack of proper Asian representation in tabletop style games.
(RECENT) FUN FACT: I developed a fever at the gym but lifted 213 lbs. several times without much effort. Still got sent home by my coach when he realized I was burning up. Yeah, I know nobody asked, but I'm telling you anyway.
DM me for a photo of my parrot Beelzebub, also.

After Angband, Maedhros had a complicated relationship with his hair for a long while. The thing he once used to cherish and carry with pride, inherited from the mother he had left behind, was now tainted with memories of unwanted attention and derogatory touch.
After his rescue, it had to be cut short for the sake of his recovery, and he could never quite figure out whether he was more hurt or relieved by the act. It was Fingon, during those times filled with anxiety and doubt and shame, who helped him learn to accept his own appearance again– from the stump of his right arm and the scars littered across his freckled body to the locks of copper hair, ever so slowly regrowing to their former glory.
And little by little, the lingering memories of malevolent hands harshly yanking at his scalp were replaced by the feeling of tender hands carefully braiding familiar golden ribbons into his hair, once again beloved.

you, a regular berserk fan talking about griffith's transformation: ambition too great and continuous dissatissfaction with one's reality lead to the continous pusuit of unattainable, hollow dreams and ultimately, to the destruction of one's self
me, an intellectual: the eclipse is the berserk equivalent of conversion therapy.

yes i'm rooting for m*leven breakup because byler is neat but mostly? i'm rooting for m*leven breakup for the sake of el and mike.
to me, their romance was always a puppy love born out of a combination of social pressures, naïve curiosity, and a lack of true understanding regarding intimacy and romantic love and what it really is. it was real in that they do truly, deeply care about each other and they are close friends, maybe even shared an attraction, but a maturing romance is so much more than that. they've grown up and out of being boyfriend/girlfriend, and that's okay! i think television/film needs to show more often that most of us don't have definite "soulmates" or first childhood loves that we spend our whole lives with. it doesn't mean these relationships meant nothing and didn't impact us, it just means they've run their course and that something else is in the cards, and this is part of life!
i've always felt el was at her best and most confident self when broken up with mike, discovering who she was and what she liked alongside another girl her age instead of just relying on mike for mentorship on how to live in the real world. she deserves more of an opportunity to find herself, her autonomy, and her independence, and to love who she is, and she's made it clear she's felt insecure in the relationship with mike because she isn't being loved and understood the way she wants, needs, and deserves from someone who is her partner.
also, it's okay if mike doesn't love her in "the way he should". he is not obligated to love her romantically and stay in a relationship with her just because she's a girl, because she "needed someone", or because he cares about her a lot. he shouldn't be pressured into a romance if it's not truly coming from his heart. he deserves freedom to find out and honour who he is, too, instead of just staying in his non-functional first relationship — one he got into as a child, essentially — and defining himself that way because it's what's expected when a boy and a girl are close. he loves her in some way, yes, but it's okay if he doesn't feel comfortable or secure being her boyfriend anymore, for whatever reason that is. he's felt insecure too, and that's valid and it matters.
they are their own people and are steadily growing and changing every day. they need time to figure out who those people are, and it's become clear (at least in my opinion) that those people aren't meant to be a couple at this stage.
they deserve freedom. they deserve to grow up and be authentic to themselves and not feel like they need to lie for the sake of a relationship. they deserve to move on from this version of their relationship that isn't making them happy and rekindle the best part of their bond: their strong, beautiful friendship. they don't have to be a couple if it doesn't make them stronger and better and happier people.
i think it would be healthy and wonderful for a show, especially one consumed frequently by young adults, to show a relationship starting, progressing, and ending on good terms in this way. sometimes things don't work out, and that is okay.
