Marco, utterly defeated: love is an illusion Star, patting his head: Aw, c'mon buddy! I'm sure I can uh, salvage this situation somehow! Marco, head in his pillow: how?? Star, humming in thought: I could uhhh... ask her to also date you??? Marco, in disbelief: would she really want to date me? Star, checking her phone: Well, I just texted her and she said yes sooooo Marco, tearing up, stars in his eyes: love is real

I feel like Bez would randomly drop really interesting stories and facts about historical events, movements, the impact of aids, different kind of people and moments regarding LGBTQ rights/ depiction during pride month and the academy just nodding along, asking questions and smiling kindly at him like... Yeah, Bezzy. We know and we will love you forever and regardless of what gender you date unless you're bringing home that Spanish twink than boy you better sleep with an eye open at the ranch or that cock those curls are gone

THE EXPANSE 6.04 REDOUBT

[froyena-is-having-a-panic-attack]

My favorite characters are all on the trans-spectrum/they have a popular headcanon where they're on the trans-spectrum

Guys I think I'm trans. On the trans-spectrum that is I'm still figuring things out but I'm definitely not just a cis girl

Today on "Another JeanMarco Soulmate AU absolutely no one asked for" I present to you -

Soulmate AU in which you stop seeing colors when your soulmate dies, the only exception being your soulmate. Now cue to Jean who just found Marco's, his best friend's, body. And you know, there's the shock of finding out Marco's dead. The pain and confusion and guilt. But there's also the revelation, because despite everything he can still see Marco like nothing took place at all- yes, half of his face is missing and his body is straight up lifeless, but Jean can still make out the color of his eye ; see that light shade of brown perfectly, remember all the times he has found himself looking at them while listening to Marco talk. He can still make out the colors of his uniform, see the same shade of black his hair has always had, practically see. Despite being dead, Marco was the only piece of color left in his life.

And there's denial for a moment because there's no way Marco was his soulmate. But that goes away fast, getting replaced by guilt. By the fact that he hasn't been there to save him, that Marco has to die all alone without anyone being there for him.

And that was worse than the simple fact that he could no longer see colors ; because Marco was there when Jean needed him, but he failed to do the same. And not only he lost his best friend that day, but his other half too.

Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva

ＰＡＲＴ　１０

〚ＦＩＲＳＴ〛〚ＰＲＥＶ〛〚ＮＥＸＴ〛

Disclaimer: This is a fan-translation for the Japan-exclusive novellisation of the movie Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva. The original novel was written by Aya Matsui under the supervision of Akihiro Hino, and belongs to Level-5.

This translation only aims to be a pleasant read for non-Japanese fans, nothing more: I made a few deliberate changes while translating in order to get the writing style closer to what is usually found in English fanfictions, as the Japanese storytelling can sometimes be different than what we are used to.

＊ Leaving the Crown Petone

While the professor and Luke were lowering one of the lifeboats into the sea, Melina left Mr Whistler’s side and came to me.

Thank goodness, she was safe… She could hardly imagine how worried I had been.

I was about to tell her just that, but she spoke first.

“Why…?”

I blinked in surprise and confusion.

“Why did you bring Professor Layton?”

“Melina…”

“Don’t let him win!”

This was the fiercest tone I had ever heard from her.

“You’re my best friend. Aren’t you, Janice? Please, let us have our wish!”

“Our…?”

Our wish…

I quickly realised what she meant. This was a display of just how deeply ‘we’ were connected.

But Melina… It was for your sake that I wanted the professor to solve this puzzle. Our sake.

Please… You have to understand.

In the end, two lifeboats quietly left the Crown Petone and ventured into the sea.

In one of them, alongside myself, stood Professor Layton, Luke, Mr Whistler, the girl with the ribbon, and the man in a safari shirt who always kept his backpack with him.

I was extremely worried of what Melina could tell the professor.

‘Do not let him win’… I could not get her face out of my mind. The expression she had when she had said it…

But for the time being, she had taken refuge by Mr Whistler’s side and fallen quiet.

“Where are we going?”

Luke had asked this out of the blue, to no one in particular. This seemed to be a question he had meant to ask for a long time, and could no longer keep to himself.

“We’re here to see the biggest crown. Aren’t you?” the man with the backpack replied.

“B-but, where is it?”

“You will find out in a few more minutes, Luke,” the professor smiled as he continued rowing.

“I can’t believe that you were the one who shouted the boat’s name out loud, and yet that you still haven’t figured out the answer…”

The girl in the ribbon had blurted this out in a huffed mumble. The professor turned to her and asked:

“If I may, Miss…”

“‘Amelia’ will do.”

“Amelia,” he repeated with a light nod. “How did you get involved in this game?”

“Surely, a ticket to that opera is not something that a student like you could afford,” the man with the backpack agreed.

Amelia did not answer. Instead, Mr Whistler replied on her behalf:

“Miss Amelia did not buy a ticket. She was invited.”

This surprised me. Until now, I had assumed that every member of the audience had bought the expensive tickets on their own.

“I have lost my daughter, who so loved to sing… This is why I sent an invitation to some young women, so they could listen to this new opera on her behalf.”

On his daughter’s behalf… This still was the real reason behind the invitation, wasn’t it?

“And I thought that such special invitations should only be sent to equally special ladies. I used the London Times and other sources as reference… Miss Amelia is an incredible chess champion, and at such a young age!”

Mr Whistler’s words of praise were directed at the young lady in question, but they fell on deaf ears. I wondered if she had a different reason for participating… Such a young and pretty girl should not be involved in this sort of eternal life game.

As silence fell once more, I noticed that Professor Layton’s gaze was fixed on Melina. When she saw that he was smiling at her, she leaned closer to Mr Whistler, trying to avoid his gaze.

“She’s a shy little girl…” Mr Whistler said defensively.

“Mr Whistler, is it true that Melina was reborn with eternal life?” the professor asked.

Amelia and Mr Brock were both surprised to hear this, focusing their attention on Melina. Mr Whistler looked at me accusingly for a moment.

“Of course not. I adopted her, and it just so happens that she has the same name as my late daughter. That’s all there is to it.”

“But…”

I tried to tell him what Melina had said, but he interrupted me.

“Janice… I am very touched that you wish Melina could come back to life. But she is no longer with us…”

Tears welled up in his eyes.

“So I decided that I would live long, for my daughter’s sake. Then at some point, that man came to me and offered the idea to create an opera on the theme of ‘eternal life.’ I agreed to it… but I never thought it would come to this.”

Mr Whistler was looking at the floor and wiping his tears. I looked at him with great sadness.

At that moment…

“Aah!”

Luke stood up at the same time as his yell, causing the boat to rock for an instant, and he continued to fumble on his words afterwards. His gaze was fixed on a single thing.

“Professor, the ship! It’s shaped like a crown!”

I followed his finger pointing at the scene, and saw that it was true. The Crown Petone must have been designed in such way that this shape would appear once it became a ship…

“To everyone currently standing in a lifeboat, congratulations.”

The voice resonated from somewhere around us, and my heart immediately lept with fear. That man could not be found anywhere; only the anxiety he caused remained, perpetually close to us all.

His voice had to come from some sort of device, hidden somewhere, in order for it to reach the lifeboats.

“You have all moved a step closer to eternal life… Please enjoy your trip, as it will last for some time.”

To our surprise, mechanical rails emerged out of the lifeboat, and some sort of engine started by itself. The two lifeboats sped up, rapidly moving away from the Crown Petone…

…which, a moment later, exploded.

One, then two, then more deafening detonations resonated and reached our ears from afar. Bright red smoke from the blasts splashed across the night sky and the azure sea.

At the same time, countless debris started to rain down on the lifeboats.

I heard a scream coming from the other one, and it brought me back to reality. Melina! I had to protect this child!

I quickly held her in my arms and took cover at the bottom of the lifeboat.

While i do frame Rametta socially transitioning and taking over from Muro as a victory, Rametta is still in charge of a violent criminal organisation and most toleration of her trans identity and leadership is absolutely rooted in her power and ability to commit violence, not any acceptance of trans ppl.

That is to say, her victory is being herself and presenting gender the way she wants, but she also has to change herself, harden her heart and be ruthless, the wider issues havnt been dealt with, she is very much a girlboss in that she is exception, who has reached her position through playing the game and bowing her head to the system, exept in her identity.

I don't plan to expand to heavily into her reign as leader [not having a massive conflict between her and Giorno is hard to justify] but she has protoges, kids she's mentored, and one of them will succeed her and make a step forward in improving the organisation/helping the community, and that person will be succeeded by someone else who will break another cycle, again and again, till maybe they finally break free. That kinda shit is gradual, takes time and careful steps, and Muro and Rametta are just two people in a chain of what's hopefully healing.

I just think if Natsuki Naoko was transported to Re:Zero instead of Subaru, we'd have a very different - but also funny and now a slice-of-life - story

Everything she says doesn't have any hatred or weight behind it, it's all sounding like the airy speculation of a child going "Ohhhhh"

(About spirits, whenever they show up) "Well, I hate small, round things."

Somehow managing to walk away from the alleyway without a problem, the trio just bows awkwardly and apologize for standing in her way like scolded children

"S-Sorry.."

Since I (personally) wouldn't want to subject Mama Naoko to Return By Death, I think everything would magically work out for her and she'd throw around life lessons that no one understands... at first

"That's why you should always label your mayonnaise bottle."

"Um... Mayonnaise?"

Just a nice mother, clapping her hands with a happy smile, unaware to the small crowd of the cast she's amassed behind her, all Team Protect Mama.

Rachel was stomping the ground back down, trying to flatten it out so it wouldn’t look strange. “Jake?” I said. “Let’s not do this again any time soon.” He nodded shakily. “One day I’m a lobster. Then I’m an ant. I figure the next step down the evolutionary ladder is a virus or something. And I just want to say right now, I’m not doing it. I am not going to become phlegm, even to save the world.” It wasn’t much of a joke, but there was a kind of lame little laugh from everyone. And Rachel stopped stomping the ants - I mean, the ground.

i've played through a few different Blood Moon routes with Beau (tho Vesper is kind of my Main Boy so i've definitely played more with him) and i'm having fun coming up with the sort of character he is

Beau, as his name might imply, is very pretty, and also very aware of it. he's also a charmer, and has a tendency to kind of lean into the blonde stereotype if people are gonna assume. so he comes off as just kind of a friendly, not terribly smart guy, but he's sharp and shrewd and observant and can be really cruel with it if he needs to be

thankfully, his pack is his Entire Soft Spot and he mostly uses his powers for good, or at the very least for the good of the pack (ie he tends to uuuh scam/straight up steal to make sure the pack is fed)

he's put so much of himself into the pack that he's not really all that good at thinking about what he actually needs or wants, which is why he winds up as the alpha oops

he's also had a huge crush on Sergi for a looooong time, but figured he wouldn't be interested and kept it to himself, and/or outright ignored it as something that could never happen

[angelamontoo]

I was watching black angel again the other day and for some reason, the first time I watched it I mistakingly thought it was revealed in Marcos last scene that Mavis was his daughter

And it got me to thinking. Does anyone else have any silly mistakes like that they made when they watched any Peter Lorre films for the first time? Misconceptions or even just big things you didn't really notice until you watched the film a second time?
