Whenever some popular artist or something or other is revealed to be an unscrupulous character and the morality brigade comes on this site with their hot takes about how their work should be scrubbed from existence and the collective consciousness, and made out to be something it just objectively wasn't ("let's all admit it was always bad writing! Its a bad book! No one ACTUALLY liked it, it was just a TREND!" attitudes about say, books that sold billions of copies and utterly dominated the pop cultural sphere of an entire decade, to name an example) i think of this

I was thinking about something…
Spoilers under the cut!
Tumblr media
It’s curious how every other girl who fell for Okarun did after seeing him like Turbokarun or after his “glow up” of confidence.
Like Aira and Vamola fell for him after meeting his yokai form, when he was strong, fast and depressed haha. Although their encounters were in different contexts (Aira thought he was a demon and Vamola was looking for a strong man to marry).
And what to say about Rin, who literally made a self insert fanfic with him as a vampire in her mind. Again as well, after noticing his yokai form.
But with Momo was different. She fell for him when he was still the invisible weird boy, no strength nor social skills at all. Not even balls 😭 He was really self conscious about his true self poor baby and worried about making Momo tired of him. Even when he got curse he didn’t want to disturb her with his problem.
It was in that exact scene, when he handed her his uniform to wear and said his famous line when Momo fell. This kind little and shy gentleman won the baddie’s heart and he didn’t even notice.
And she thought “what a loser, I wanna smooch him so bad” or something like that hahaha
Momo fell first but Ken fell harder.

Something I keep thinking about from TBOSBAS is just how consistently Dr. Gual’s worldview is proven to be wrong. For all her and Snow’s talk of “this is who people are when released from control,” all three of the games we see in the series prove that wrong time and time again.
Lamina mercy kills Marcus to save him from further pain and suffering. Reaper spends his whole time in the arena — to his dying breaths — honoring the dead around him. Katniss sings to Rue as she dies and openly, publicly mourns her death. Thresh saves Katniss’s life, not for his own benefit, because arguably she is one of his biggest threats still in the arena at that point, but out of love for Rue. Mags volunteers for Annie. The Morphlings sacrifice themselves for Peeta and Katniss.
That is Gual’s “humanity unmasked.” Even when their own lives are at stake, even when they are pitted against each other in a literal fight to the death, these children’s love and compassion and humanity still finds ways to come through. Because Lucy Gray is right, there is an inherent goodness in us all.

Head empty, just thinking of that yes, Mitsuri is the first woman Obanai learns to love, but consider this; Shinobu being the first woman he respects.
Imagine Obanai still not a Hashira yet, going on a group mission with Shinobu leading and he's like "God how come she became a Hashira when she can't even behead a demon most girls in the corps are weak and they don't take this whole things seriously smh"
Then the demon comes and Shinobu only stabs him once and the effect is tremendous, leaving what was once a strong demon to be a writhing, agonizing creature choking for air as his skin turns dull and the scent of wisteria poison lingers in the air, almost like some kind of warning to other nearby demons.
And the unbothered look on her face? The absolute no hesitation??
Good leadership + able to remain composed + smart and strategic + doesn't let her weakness define her capabilities = worthy of respect.
Mitsuri is Obanai's first love, and Shinobu is his first lady friend that he actually genuinely respects and likes.
(bonus that Obanai would trash talk about Giyuu with Shinobu and she constantly shuts him up cause she wants to befriend Giyuu and Obanai has no freaking clue why and what she sees in him. Judging friend but with concern intent).

Posting the scene again but with some thoughts:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is a presentation of both characters and it's a good comparison.
Colin, in the background, he can read the real intentions of Cressida like we do. Maybe, because he knows both well enough. But, it's his reaction what's really important here:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He finds an elegant way to make Cressida feel uncomfortable. He has an heroic gesture (speaks of his character) but more than anything he makes Pen feel better, because Penelope feeling sad is something that Colin can't deal very well.
So, this scene is presented to us to make us understand the dinamic between them. It's easy like Colin after that. He's being kind when she was bullied, and in the end they danced together.
Tumblr media
Pen is happy. We're happy. Cressida lost.
Tumblr media
Cressida does the same thing here.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But Deblin can't see what's really happening here. He's kind. And in the surface does everything right, but Pen still doesn't look happy.
And he leaves, giving us to us the impression that Cressida won this time.
Tumblr media
And in the end is a description of his character: he's okay, but he's not the right one for Penelope. He doesn't stay. He would never be, specially because we saw the right thing to do first. The situation is familiar to us, and is easy to feel that something was missing.
It was Colin.

do you think if buck said i love you to tommy that night things would be different? do you think he knew he loved tommy when josh asked him but he wanted to say it first to tommy? or do you thing he didn't realize he loved tommy until it was too late? do you think buck stays up at night wishing he realized sooner? do you think he stays up all night wondering if he said i love you to tommy things would be different?

I hate poetry analysis so much. I used to hate it in school, I hate it in literary circles, I hate it everywhere.
You're supposed to feel poetry, not ruin it by picking apart every word to try and solve it like a math equation. But that's just my opinion.

Ive noticed recently that my generation has... no concept of what the various economic classes actually are anymore. I talk to my friends and they genuinely say things like "at least i can afford a middle class lifestyle with this job because i dont need a roommate for my one bedroom apartment" and its like... oughh
You guys, middle class doesnt mean "a stable enough rented roof over your head," it means "a house you bought, a nice car or two, the ability to support a family, and take days off and vacations every year with income to spare for retirement savings and rainy days." If all you have is a rented apartment without a roommate and a used car, you're lower class. That's lower class.
And i cant help but wonder if this is why you get kids on tumblr lumping in doctors and actors into their "eat the rich" rhetoric: economic amnesia has blinded you to what the class divides actually are. The real middle class lifestyle has become so unattainable within a system that relies upon its existence that theyve convinced you that those who can still reach it are the elites while your extreme couponing to afford your groceries is the new normal.

Thinking about how Edwin says I was traded to another demon, how he runs through hell trying to escape the spider, how the doll house is where he returns to because that is probably the last place he was trapped in and how, if he was traded multiple times among multiple demons, it was not where he was supposed to be in the first place.
He was dragged to hell on a technicality. When his demon got bored, he was dragged through worse.
Thinking about a sixteen-year-old boy running from punishments that were not his to bear, nor deserve, nor fear, nor escape. Thinking about him at the end of everything, crashing into Charles, confessing so quiet and stunned, I do not have the words.
Thinking of his awe at finally escaping what should have never haunted him in the first place.

Some Thoughts on Ekko (mainly TimeBomb centered)
I'm rewatching Arcane in its entirety right now and I'm on the episode "The Boy Savior." I'm about to spoil S2 a little bit for the sake of this, so leave now if you haven't watched. This is an unedited ramble btw so bear with me.
I just watched the part where Ekko was talking about the mural, the casualties that inspired it, and Jinx.
"Your sister doesn't work for Silco because she needs to, but because she wants to. That's just who she is now." (or something of the like, I tried my best.)
I think it's super heartbreaking when we hear that and then we see how he acts around her later. The fight scene with him and Jinx in S1 I feel symbolizes the way he still wishes he could, or possibly still does, see the innocence in her and the girl he fell in love with as a kid.
He even sees it in her eyes while he's beating the absolute shit out of her at the end of that fight. His eyes wide, and he stops hailing fists, and he sees Jinx's wide, almost fearful eyes. While he is distracted, she tries to blow them up, but within that moment, he got another glimpse of the girl he still somewhat thinks of fondly.
And now... for the spoilers.
HOLY SHIT THE ALTERNATE UNIVERSE FUCKED ME UP.
So basically he found a version of Powder who wasn't batshit insane and not a war criminal, and his true love for her shows, even if it's an alternate version. Even the song choice during that dance sequence stressed how much he wishes she were better and was still in love to an extent. We all knew that, but it's still so bittersweet.
I think that's so beautiful after this man tried to harden his heart, he ends up coming around to her. He says all of these things in S1 about how she cannot change, but then what Ekko goes through with the hexcore and the alt universe changes how he sees his Powder. He starts to have faith in her again and even tries to stop her from killing herself.
The feeling was never truly gone, he just had to save himself from grief and disappointment before it had a full hold on him. He did it so that he could move on with his life and did as he felt he needed to.
It's all about the thought of what could have been and the grief over someone you could have built a life with, had they been a better person. While he moved on from that for the most part, it resurfaces after the events in the alt universe. I suffer with this feeling on my own and the way it's portrayed with Ekko is so real and raw to me.
...
Anyway I fucking love him, headcanons coming soon Rosey <3

The ideal astyanax lives au is where Andromache actually listens to Cassandra and starts to believes her after she prophecies the death of her husband and it actually comes true. She would then go and ask her what will come of the rest of them and she sings the fates of the rest of Troy. Griped by fear, she collects her son and things for the road and escapes Troy (somehow) and IDEALLY she ends up on Ithaca and like, Penelope sees her and takes pity on her, and then Telemachus and Astyanax become brothers and it’s really cute
