In this scene Katsuki is looking at the camera and saying "see you later", so it means we're gonna have a Katsuki centered spin off and-
#Tbh I don't trust hori to write anything Katsuki related again 😭#At most he's going to make him give services to deku while never getting acknowledged 💀#It would have been cool if he became an international hero and left japan#To kinda follow all might steps#Because in the boring new society he can't use his crazy moves like cluster#It's like a bird in a cage#He needs to get challenged and goes to places with low security#He needs to win against strong opponents#That's how his character is not catching a cookie thief#But hori would only make him dedicate his life to deku and nothing else#Bakugou Katsuki#katsuki bakugou#Bakugo Katsuki#Katsuki bakugo#Kacchan#Mha#Bnha#my hero academia#Katsuki#Bakugo#With the way Katsuki didn't have any conclusion you might think the story continues#Because wtf was that#Disrespectful as hell💀#Out of topic but for some reason I love this gif so much 😭

youtube
Such a good video I found from Paul and Artie's 1982 tour of Japan!!
#the only reason i found this was because i had a VPN with my location set to Japan#this vid was uploaded like a month ago#i search for s&g and paul interviews i havent seen MULTIPLE times a day but youtube cant fathom putting this in my recommended??#i thought maybe it wasnt recommended to me before because it was blocked in countries outside of japan or smth#but no its perfectly visible in my country and the youtube algorithm is just useless as all hell#anyway theyre really cute in this#and i must say this is the only time ive seen paul being filmed at his eye level#and artie being filmed from a low angle because i suppose he's very tall by japanese standards#that was really funny to me#betcha paul was loving the feeling of being average height for once lmao#the interview is so sweet as well and i feel artie was REALLY flirting with the interviewer#how many striped shirts does paul simon own???#“paul was the funniest person i ever met” “artie was a good first-baseman” oH MY GOD PAUL#being zoomed in on artie while paul was doing some weird shit was criminal tho#baseball charade i presume#theyre so not normal#simon and garfunkel#simon & garfunkel#s&g#paul simon#art garfunkel#paul simon 80s#Youtube

#Nothing to say. A good episode. A good season.#I love Oda. I love his voice perhaps even more lol#I should look for an improvement of the video quality... To say it's 1080px mkv :/ But the latest upload on N/yaa is too heavy#The op visuals of the untold origins arc are very good. The songs are good too#Although I suppose I may just be nostalgic ahah#I like fuku/fuku... Especially this young bittersweet flavour#Fuku/fuku have so many “couple who for some reason broke up but who still love each other more than anyone else” in this episode.#What do you mean they keep calling each other.#What do you mean Fukuchi won't hesitate to help Fukuzawa even after he refused to join his group.#Mmmmhhh... One more thing#There's so much emphasis on Christianity in bsd. It makes sense for Atsushi and Dostoyevsky I suppose due to the irl authors‚ but...#Why was Oda handed a Bible in this episode? Why was Ango carrying a Bible with him in the Beast movie?#When you take into account that Christianity only makes for 1.5% of religious believers in Japan‚ it's just curious.#But maybe I'm missing something? Was Oda-author Christian too?#Then again I can really feel this wider underlying pattern which... Exceeds the characters in a way?#It's mostly details so it'd be hard to list them but... Idk.#Why was there a cross behind Kunikida when he witnessed the little child die.#🤔#That would be all. This season is very beautiful and I love Mushitarou but can't WAIT to get back to Atsushi I miss him 🥺🥺🥺#random rambles

thinking about how i love murakami’s writing & narrative style, the way he subtly catches the reader’s attention etc etc & and at the same time despise the way he writes women & sex scenes. thinking about how i’m starting to appreciate him while hating the misogyny in his writing, & simultaneously recognising how his culture & upbringing played a major role in forming his misogynistic views & also understanding that he's a man before he's a writer &c &c........
#i have a lot of Thoughts about murakami & his writing#he loves kawakami's feminist works but then again......the way he describes women & their bodies....& also the bland sex scenes.......#the way his limited knowledge (or lack thereof) of female anatomy really shines through.......#but then again. he's rich. famous. the most celebrated writer of japan. brought up amidst the japanese patriarchal society#& hugely male-centric culture. i get why he is the way he is (like 90% of the japanese male population -- not only japanese#-- one could say global population -- except he has a remarkable imagination & a somewhat different approach to the mundane)#so i don't really. side w either those who hate murakami or are obsessed w him.#i love & enjoy his work while simultaneously retaining the ability to recognise & call him out on his misogyny.#<- one reason why i respect & admire makeo kawakami#one should read her interview w murakami where she calls him out on his misogyny & murakami tries to deflect her (valid) points#on a lighter note though. “her breasts breasted breastily” is a phrase i was genuinely prepared to read in a murakami novel &#was surprised when i was unable to find it#anyway. needed to get this out of my system because damn i have some mixed feelings abt this man

Bought myself a mimikyu yesterday from build-a-bear and its so cute next to dedenne 😭
#my brother won the dedenne from a claw machine game in Japan a few years back#and just gave it to me when he came back#he likes claw games mostly for the satisfaction of winning lol#anyway i saw the mimikyu in the display window a few days ago#ngl I'm surprised it's $45?? i thought it costed more for some reason#they also have a lil bowtie and hat selling for like $12.5#i also saw a snorlax on display dressed in pajamas and it's so funny i love that one too#hope y'all are doing good and staying safe!!

If you’d told me that I’d be shipping a bunch of classic lit authors with each other say like, a year ago, I would’ve laughed in your face
#thank you Bungou stray dogs#normally I don’t ship real people but like this is just characters named after authors and also they’re dead so#it’s so funny hearing things out of context though like imagine being completely clueless abt this piece of media#and someone says ‘so then Nathaniel Hawthorne partnered up with fyodor Dostoyevsky and Nikolai Gogol because he was in love with#Margaret Mitchell and also at some point John Steinbeck was partners with hp lovecraft and they were in love n shit and then#f scott Fitzgerald shows up and he gathers up all the Americans because he wants to take over the Japan lit scene for his wife for whatever#reason I forgot his motives because i was too focused on everything else but the plot but anyways so then there’s this little partnership#going on between Edgar Allan Poe and his Japanese counterpart Ranpo edogawa and they’re like rivals but also quite fond of each other and#they’re very wholesome and it’s all fun and games#and then there’s the main ship of the series that’s Osamu Dazai and Chuuya Nakahara and they’re like so in love and they hate each other but#they’re also in love and then the same dynamic is shared by their mentees akutagawa and atsushi nakajima and then at some point we get clues#that the same dynamic was shared between their bosses as well and mori ougai and fukuzawa yukichi are also in love because we said so I mean#basically any ship here can and will be canon no matter what and anyways so then they all meet and then fuck shit up <3#is fanfiction abt your favourite authors put in situations <3#.txt#bsd#bungou stray dogs

o i wanted to make a post that im honestly not smart enough to actually sit down and think out but i like the way meryls trauma doesnt completely woobify her character but does still affect her, it just feels nice to see a female charcater not be completely reduced to a wet soggy mess bc of trauma but also not to (very unrealistically) just Get Over It i think trigun has a nice balance and its refreshing
#also not saying its a secret feminist masterpiece or anything (coz ive seen ppl say that and. come on) but i still think it does well-#enough to be given an appreciative nod#i mean its clear nightow didnt know what to do w milly n meryl after a certain point bc there was just. So much goin on w vash and knives#so he just has the girls do some nomad stuff offscreen until he was ready to bring them back in and yknow what i dont hate that#i think its important to note the women in trigun are fucking amazing tho like. rem meryl luida elendira even lina#and yeah millys underdeveloped but still shes so good#so im not gnna sit here and criticise nightow for being just as misogynistic as some other male mangaka bc i think he does very well#and thats not even to say the bar is on the floor like i truly believe that. i love meryl for a reason#but. ppl can we maybe stop w the 'trigun is so feminist' praise bc lets be real nightow probably just has a thing for strong women#98 anime is a little different tho i was pullin some faces while rewatching some clips.#im obvs talking abt the manga#and stampede is still not done so i wont comment too much on that besides the fact i like where its going (girlwise)#i dont usually like viewing manga thru this lense bc its not the same culture and feminism looks different in japan than it does over here#but i saw a chart. it made me twist up my face and go hrrrrnnnmmmmmnnnnmmnnm..... nnhhnnhhjnnn... mmmmmmmm#jesus i didnt mean to go off in these tags i just wanted to make another 'meryl good' post for the pile#ig im still thinkin abt that chart idk i guess it stuck w me (regretfully)#anyway point is i love meryl for a reason trigun women are great thanks nightow but im not gnna praise him for bein a feminist icon

aghhhh:(
#I wish I had known about bt when atsushi was still around:( like#getting into them so much has been like a source of happiness and comfort this year#but then I feel kind of bad because the reason I found out about them is because someone died#for a while it was just one of those things that’s like yeah#sometimes an artist dies and that’s how you find out about their stuff#and it’s nice for people to continue discovering and loving someone’s art after they’re gone#but I’ve been feeling more sad about that lately#like I’ve never found a band that’s just felt so much like My thing before#there’s plenty of bands and songs I love but#I’ve never really gotten this obsessed or invested in a specific band#so part of me wishes I had discovered them sooner or heard about them under better circumstances#and not cause I happened to be scrolling through tumblr during work and#saw goth blogs I follow posting memorial stuff#it feels kind of spooky and morbid too because I had been#thinking lately I wanted to find some goth bands from japan#if I had actually gotten around to doing the research I probably would have started listening to them#so it was weird timing#and I was showing my dad the climax together tour and he was kind of#lamenting that he had never heard of them when he was younger because he would have gotten so into their music#like. ah if my dad had any exposure to japanese rock when he was younger#I definitely would have grown up listening to a lot of buck-tick#and der zibet too probably#I was watching dz concert videos late last night#and issay was so cute and lively and full of energy#and then I thought about how he died in some accident and I started feeling upset#especially since one of my favorite movie actors died in a pretty horrific freak accident#it’s like I’d rather just not think about what might’ve happened (since there weren’t really public details)#anyway I’m just kind of like. having complicated feelings about all of it#different than sadness and grief I’ve felt over artists in the pass since it was all postmortem that I knew about them

if I had a nickel for every time the resulting negligence of an overworked father caused their son who they have a strained but previously close relationship with to get into a traffic accident and for them to have a robot son replacement made that they realized they could never truly love the same way and so abandoned in the 2003 version of astro boy I'd have 2 nickles. which isn't alot but it's interesting it's happened twice
#forever thinking about how in the dub atlas calls him and atom 'brothers' and all that implies#the fact that they were both actually created by the same man. how eerily similar their circumstances are#I've heard this line isn't present in the OG/sub which is a shame imo cause it's such A loaded piece of dialogue and I loved how it altered#the dynamic and parallels between the two#psii.txt#astro boy 2003#tetsuwan atom#atlas#atlas astro boy 2003#daichi tokugawa#there's deffo some sort of commentary you can pick up from this around the work culture in Japan at the time and how it effects families#because iirc they aren't the only fathers distant for work related reasons either. there's another and his little girl? idr the episode tho#atlasposting

Called my aunt to wish her a happy birthday and we spent an hour discussing what I was doing with my life 😭
#my uncle wants me to go get a PhD in quant or finance or information systems and then become a professor#OR#be a lawyer or a dentist#the PhD thing was very specifically catered when I was like 👉🏽👈🏽 I wanna teach#none of those things sound all that appealing..#space law Has Potential#but I think it would make me want to rip my hair out#they were both like. you have two years but then figure your life out by then#and then they were like. what is ur cousin doing. has he proposed yet#and I was like ??? it hasn’t even bee n a year?? I think they’re going to Japan#and oopsies apparently he had not told them they were going to Japan#my bad#after I. very reasonably said it makes sense to wait 2-3 years#he went ‘what is there going to be left to talk about then. life is all downhill from there. might as well get married now’#and. I’ve never ever ever heard that from a human being before#WHAT DO U MEAN YOULL RUN OUT OF THINGS TO TALK ABOUT#I could never#anyways love having my existential crises exacerbated by familial interactions#they just Say Things#I need to study. I’m gonna go do that maybe#actually no I want to complain more. my uncle keeps saying that the problem with space is that there’s only a few cities that work on it.#and that’s gonna limit my choice of partner#(so funny how they say partner. they are very homophobic and have no idea or they’d go THE MAN YOU MARRY like my mother does)#I feel like space is growing…#altho I’m sure that’s what people thought in the 60s and 70s and 80s and 90s#idk some of these bitches have been around since like the 70s and 80s and 90s#so it’s not like they all got fired immediately#my dental hygienist was telling me space was great until Obama slashed the budget#I didn’t have anything to say back considering I was 8 when he was elected and know v little about his policies#anyways. this is a psa to not call ur relatives even to wish them happy bday because then they’ll trap u in conversation and make u question

August Receiptify: thanks for tagging me @flaredpantsagenda :D
some of these surprised me! the top four artists definitely didn't, but i tend to listen to more exo and bbhf too so it's wild they didn't make it on either receipt.
i'm gonna tag: @charles-edwin @jonginnation @suuho @cryptidcrysis @huhyuhbah if u don't have a spotify, my bad! 😅
#spotify#receiptify#tag game#side-note:#i peeped at the 6 months and year ones and bbhf is at 27 on the popularity scale (100 being highest as evidenced by taylor swift lol)#which i thought was crazy before i realized that most people probably don't know that galileo galilei have another band#i only found out because i was PHYSICALLY AT tower records and saw their display shelf and was like wait those are the ozaki brothers#WAIT THOSE ARE THE OZAKI BROTHERS WIOFIOSDHWOGJJSFDSLJFIWGJWOIJDLSJFI#and nearly had a fucking meltdown in the middle of the store#i shoulda bought an album or something but it would have been region-locked and i was butthurt about the last time i bought CDs in japan :/#(also at that time they were going by bird bear hare and fish which has ITS OWN spotify page for some reason)#(so if you were following them there you might not know that they have a ton more music under bbhf)#plus i don't think bbhf have made any anime OPs which i think is how most ppl found galileo galilei (it's how i found them!)#ANYWAY........ bbhf are really good#if you like galileo galilei but are also into more traditional j-rock you'll love them#ACTUALLY I'VE BEEN LISTENING TO AI WO KANJIREBA II LIKE NONSTOP WHY DIDN'T IT GET ON HERE???

i want to go on a trip to japan sooooooo badly god it eats me up inside thinking about it 😭😭 i’ve saved more tiktoks and blog posts and watched more vlogs on youtube than I can count I’m so prepared u wouldn’t even know but I also have no idea when that day will come or when I’ll get the opportunity, for now I can just dream. it makes me so emo thinking about how much phil used to talk about wanting to go and how it was his dream holiday since he was a kid and now he’s been 3 times with dan (+bry one of his oldest friends) 🫶 but if dnp have taught me anything it’s that no dream is too crazy, you could say it’s luck but they also made everything in their lives happen for them and so can you
#dnp#japan travel#japhan#randomthots#reasons for japan ditl being one of my comfort vids#this is why I wish we still had some sort of podcast/liveshow/long form casual content#bc I would love to hear them talk about their more recent trips not like intimate details but just how they find travelling there#how they like to do it now after a couple of times#food and activity recs#any other sanrio girlies that’s also a big part for me#all the silly little character merch

#Just read with my own two eyes the take that sskk dating would be illegal in Japan and like.#sorry if this sounds rude but can Twitter please start discourse over it I want to witness it so bad aksvdbksbdjsnsvsksvska#I've been giggling for the last five minutes this. unironically made my day this concept is so so funny I'm ecstatic#Like. I don't even know where to begin I can't stop laughing. But someone thinking that Akutagawa who's like.#a notorious mafioso and serial killer with a reasonably high body count. Would think twice about the legality of dating someone–#two (2) years younger than him???? Like THAT was the issue with dating Atsushi????????I'm hysterical#But even beyond that... I think it kinda speaks of what internet culture become–#that people started thinking dating someone two years younger than you is illegal. wtf.#It is... Guys nobody needs to hear this- except apparently someone does? But dating is never illegal. Having sex with a minor is.#There's like. quite a difference akdbfbskbdjsksbdksbdks#I'm trying so so hard to be polite about this but there's an inner beast inside me that can't help but laugh akdbdjsbsksbsk#I'm sorry there IS some kind of social commentary that could be done here but right now I'm just too busy laughing#And I mean this with no malice seriously!! Best thing I've read all week#Anyways to that person. I love you. Please learn the law. Never change#random rambles
