Having thoughts about Blue Eye Samurai and desire, like this whole entire show is about wanting. Desire is presented as a means of self-awareness and self-knowledge. Who you are is someone who wants, and turning away from your secret lusts is an act of self-deception. It's turning away from your *self* and therefore putting you at war with yourself.

But we also see desire as a tool. Your desires wielded against you, your desires the means by which others can access and gain power, your wanting opening you up to be used by the object of your want. Knowing your desires means someone knows you in ways they can use, if your desires are overpowering enough to make you so singularly focused on them.

And yet muddled desires or misdirected wanting opens one up to aimlessness, to time and effort wasted, to being a piece in the game rather than a player.

Desire is a clarifying, motivating purpose. Recognizing your true desire gives you direction and momentum and moves you from passive reactivity to action, to agency. Singular, overwhelming, crystalline desire for revenge powers Mizu through every challenge. It is the source of Mizu's strength and when it is known it is what allows Mizu's enemies to set traps, to counterplan, to escape when otherwise they'd be caught.

Feel desire. Feel it strongly and deeply and powerfully and with overwhelming force. Feel your desire in every step and breath and moment, until it's all you are, and never show it until you absolutely have to, until you can't hold it back anymore and it explodes out of you.

This show is insane.

i think the issue i have w the theory that the changes made surrounding the ac (baxborough being visible in the distance, isaac living next door to max, ed suddenly having long hair and wearing a skirt and peter pan collar blouse) were bc dimitri wanted his friends to be happy is bc. it just. doesnt make sense? in practice?

does dimitri consider isaac a friend or just someone who peekaboo scared so badly w its tantrum that he attacked out of instinct, causing dimitri to realize just how dangerous peekaboo could be and pull away from the ac club to protect them? does he consider max, a kid that he met 5 days before and hasnt spoken to much a friend? peekaboo knowing what would make them happy requires either peekaboo paying attention to others, or knowing exactly which hearts from the hundreds across the lake belonged to those dimitri considered friends to grant their desires. which i cant really see it caring enough about them to be able to pick them apart, especially since it did leave dimitri alone when he asked so it wouldve only seen max briefly during lunch

its an interesting theory, and as good of an explanation as any for the changes, but not one i can personally ascribe to

If I can be very, very reductionist for a moment: Laudna is a Beau who wasn't rejected at every turn and eventually sent away. They are at their core the same people, specifically as it pertains to where Beau started. Beau was sent away from her abuser, by her abuser. Laudna's isn't going anywhere and she's showing Laudna the exact kindness and attention Beau craved from her family. Laudna is a Beau who never got out.

I dream of a future where people actually learn to question the idea that violence must be an unequivocal inevitability. If we see it as an inevitability we will always be willing to excuse or overlook a certain amount of harm, and that harm almost always will fall to whoever is the most vulnerable. Unfortunately a lot of people aren’t willing to even approach having that conversation. So many people claim to think radically and yet fail to imagine a world where violence isn’t as unquestionably useful or necessary as they think it is.

*gently takes your hands* Tumblr is no better than Twitter. There is a swath of negativity, holier than thou, stuck up attitude on this website just like there is on Twitter. At least on Twitter, people like that are called what they are: trolls. Do not feed the trolls. There is literally no reason to log onto this website to feed the machine of doomerism and negativity, then pretend we're better than other sites because "we touch grass." I assure you, majority of the blogs in every tag you can imagine, are not touching grass.

okay but why do people get so goddamn upset when you say that you dislike kids/being around kids???? i'm pretty sure no one is saying that kids should just straight up stop existing, or that kids shouldn't be allowed in any public place ever. when most people say they don't like kids it means that they're sick of hearing screaming for an hour and a half in the local walmart because some kid's parent won't buy them a ps5. they mean they're sick of hearing cocomelon on full blast while waiting in the purgatory that the checkout line. they're sick of nearly running a kid over with a shopping cart because said kid's idea of fun is laying on the floor in the middle of the aisle and their parent can't be bothered to tell them to get up. that's what people mean when they say they dislike kids.

no one (at least, no one i've ever heard of) is trying to physically accost children simply for existing in a public place. no one is trying to argue that children shouldn't exist, or be allowed in public places. i feel like some of you are forgetting that "man im 5 seconds away from killing this [x]" is a figure of speech and not actual homicidal ideation. god motherfuckin damn. get a grip
