fob saying "it's been 17 years since we played with My Chemical Romance" is so important cuz idk about the rest of y'all but I got so caught up in the dnp anticipation that I forgot the original reason this day was a big deal was FOB and MCR playing together again!!

Jango: Seventeen... Alpha-17: Yes? Jango: ...Are you ok? Alpha-17, with a few teenaged clones climbing him and trying to wrestle him to the ground: Why do you ask?

Again, I refuse to make adult mm link edgy sorry.

reading batfam fanfics is so funny cause I’ll be giggling kicking my feet at the brothers being actual bros while they go and hold each other in their laps and call each other “baby bird” and it’s like . they wouldn’t fking do that

Fordo: Where are the kids?

Alpha-17: They're playing hide and seek.

Fordo: Where?

Alpha-17, looking at him: I don't think you get how the game works.

"the only thing i haven't done yet is die" is a fuckin insane lyric to write at 27 years old + hits so different looking back on all that fob achieved post-from under the cork tree. and in the OPENING song on the album???????? i need to lay down.

i think that in small tightknit communities, all residents should receive a coupon book on their bday that allows them to commit [x] number of nonviolent crimes per year

Saw a twitter post about Near and L with the "do I look like him?" caption and it got me to feel so viscerally sad because... he does. He does look like L. The similarities are so uncanny that, had I not known they're not related, I would have guessed they are. And not just appearance too... some of his mannerisms, the way he speaks and reasons... all of Near is haunted by the traces of a man he has never even met.

It's not really surprising: he was groomed by Wammy's to be just like L. He never really rejected that notion, either; he just embraced it as something that has always been part of him, because how could he refuse something that was there from the beginning? He was just a kid. A very young one at that.

But someone who did reject that was Mello. Or, rather, he felt rejected by that system, so he turned his back on it -- at least partially. The effects of it are still felt even in its rejection - his visceral hatred of Near being a lampant example. But I wonder if that rejection, that search for individuality, is what made Near so endeared to Mello in spite of the other very openly hating him.

Mello became his own person and Near, forever bound to be one of two parts of L, admired that. Because he couldn't do it.

jiang cheng and lan wangji working together trying to find wei wuxian while he was trapped in the burial mounds is actually objectively hilarious, like two of the most socially awkward boys in cultivation society — who kinda hate each other but definitely hate smalltalk — being forced into close proximity and extended contact for months all because they happen to love the same wonderfully annoying/self sacrificing boy (who is also maybe the reason they hate each other but like hell will either of them admit to it)… not to mention their emotions are running high and their stress levels even higher but all of this is happening with more than a couple underlings always flitting about and clan politics to worry about (oh and also a war) so they can’t even argue they just have to. exist. in the same space. in ever increasingly tense and awkward silences. it’s just funny to think about idk
