Thinking about SSKK

Thinking about SSKK

About how Atsushi went from not knowing a man other than from a photo, then that man trying to take him for a bounty. A bounty no one knew about that was in the underworld.

That man takes off his leg and activates Atsushi's ability, leading Atsushi to know "hey! If the bitch hits first, I'm allowed to swing!"

Thinking about Atsushi yelling at Akutagawa, not for himself but for Kyouka, but also because Atsushi comes from a place where he can see Kyouka, and it allows him to stand against Akutagawa, which is more than Akutagawa ever got from anyone other than someone in a higher position. Grounding Atsushi firmly in the "hey! This asshole can keep up with you despite having literally no training!" position.

Thinking about them fighting Fitzgerald together, and how Akutagawa's first use of Rashōmon to not harm that we see was to SAVE Atsushi and help him defeat Fitzgerald.

Thinking about how it's only been maybe a YEAR AT MOST, and the combined power of these two have taken out major players, and nearly took out Fukuchi.

Thinking about how they've come so far, because when Akutagawa asked if they ever needed anything else in the anime, Atsushi FUCKING RELAXES.

Even though this man has tried to kidnap him. Has tried to kill him. He's worked alongside Atsushi. He's grown alongside Atsushi.

Thinking about SSKK.

Thinking about their growth and the trust they learn.

Eddie being very confused/ disturbed by Buck not using his key/ asking to come in was straight out of a fanfic

but also Buck was SO gentle the way he purposely ensured no one else was home/ no one would see him so he could have this necessary conversation immediately

I haven’t seen anyone post about this but here’s jerry’s original dialogue vs the remake!

One of the most dangerous things in the world is not being able to say no to people because you don't want to upset them or dissapoint them. This will completely ruin your life in every way possible, at work, in your private life, your sex life and your friendships. It's a way of removing your own consent in your own decisions and go against your wishes, it is always a crime against yourself. Let yourself have a say. Upsetting people is better than traumatizing yourself.

i’ve seen too many people arguing that marcille was already a full grown adult when she went to school at 35 despite literally all of the canon evidence indicating otherwise

do *you* think with your dick?

I used to hate it when people said the trick was to just do it until ‘do it scared’ started going around, because that’s truly it. Life didn’t start changing until I applied for jobs with one hand in front of my eyes and a trembling hand navigating my computer mouse. Or until I said everything on my mind (in moderation) with my fists clenched and my legs weak. Or until I refused to accept that I’d ‘just’ be shy forever while also kind of being nauseous at the idea of trying to be the opposite. Two things can coexist and that’s exactly the point of believing that you can do anything.

I love the "came back wrong" trope but from the opposite side.

Imagine you are dead. And then you are RIPPED from the embrace of decay into the world of the living again. Your memories are hazy and you don't recognize any of these people, but they act like they're close to you? Like they love you? So you try to get your memories back, to act like you belong here, but everybody tries to forget you died. And you can't. It is omnipresent. And just trying to grapple with that fact pushes the people who "love" you away, and they're incapable of understanding, and they're so confused, what's wrong N̶̄̀O̶͛͗T̷̉́ ̷͋͝Y̴̎̌Ȍ̴̈U̸̓R NÄM̴̃͑E̵̾̇? And you just need them to understand, you aren't that person! You aren't! You don't know who that person is! You don't know why any of this is happening, but they're unwilling to bend, they keep insisting you are that person, your memories will come back, everything will be normal again, and you want to scream and cry and claw yourself open to show them you're different. Your existence as a being wholly separate from whoever you "used to be" is a sin unto itself. All you can do is scrabble for life and to them, you're killing whoever they loved to do it.

just. lots of fun in that concept, you know?

This a a reminder to not fall victim to the sunk-cost fallacy. Just because you invested time and energy into something, does not mean you should indefinitely waste more time and energy on it, if you decide it’s not what you want anymore. This goes for anything, from books, to relationships, to jobs, to hobbies, etc.

If it’s not serving you anymore, move on.

i just heard the phrase “if you wouldn’t trust their advice, don’t trust their criticism” for the first time and i don’t think i’ve ever needed to hear anything more

be busy. busy not checking messages. busy reading those books you never started or finished. busy having a good night of sleep. busy taking care of yourself and your skin. busy moving your body. busy helping your community. busy reflecting on your life and what you can improve. busy doing things aside from the capitalistic viewpoint of “productivity.” busy slowing down.

It's ok to want money. It's ok to be upset that you're poor and wishing to be rich. I understand. People who say that money doesn't buy happiness have never eaten pasta every day because it's 50 cents at the grocery store or been short on money for christmas presents. Constantly scraping by makes people miserable and depressed and of course you're gonna dream about money, about being happy and priviledged. That's not greedy or horrible, that's life. It's ok.
