#but also the greed

[jes12321]

Sukuna is a human trying to play games with Gods. His power is false and those who know it do not even care enough to point it out. They see Sukuna as nothing but a blip on the map that is their world. His power is given, and any power not earned can be taken away. Unlike the Gods he emulates, imitates, he did not forge his own abilities in the heat of a dying star. He did not build his strength in ichor and ash. He fought well and was graced by a Devil who used to be an Angel and given a gift. Power from a higher being without contract is a dangerous thing. Any Curse knows. But Sukuna was young and greedy and thought he was powerful. He accepted and did not point out that no one ever asked where he got such abilities. Never thought of the consequences of using his gift in ways that did not honor his benefactor. Sukuna was a human who did not worship the God who gave him his status. He will regret it.

Thinkin about an AU where curses are people who have been cursed/blessed by the gods to give them power because of their actions.

I tried quilting for the first time! It was super fun and I learned a lot. It's nowhere near perfect but I'm really proud of it!

I keep thinking about that moment in the final scene of Nosferatu when Orlok stops drinking from Ellen and looks up at the light. In a last effort to distract him, she asks for more. And he obliges her. HE obliges HER in the face of his death coming in through the window.

i love how illumi and hisoka are freak by nature x freak by act. like hisoka could 100% be a normal person if he chose to be one day but illumi couldn't act normal even if he tried

Hisoka is the guy that makes a conscious effort for people to perceive him as a disgusting freak every single day but Illumi doesnt even have to try. he just is. he exists and people are weirded the fuck out by him. Even hisoka agrees too like 😭😭😭😭

In DBDA there are two appearances of Death (of the Endless) in the show. There’s her first appearance in Episode 1, where she brings a WW1 soldier to the afterlife, and the other is in Episode 3, where she guides a family killed by an abusive father. Both of these are possibles outcomes for both Edwin and Charles. If Edwin had lived to past 16, he very likely would’ve been drafted in WW1. If Charles hadn’t been killed by his “friends,” it’s not outlandish to think he might’ve been a victim of his own father. In both of these scenarios, the spirits also move on to their seemingly tranquil eternities, something neither of the boys have any intention of ever doing.

Okay, so I haven't watched all of FMAB yet, but I love how Ed is so fucking oblivious. He got a gorgeous girl, way smarter than him and out of everybody's league, who plays with the cord of the telephone when they speak together because she's down bad and laughs softly when he talks. And he's like "yeah, yeah, well, I am glad you're alive haha I thought they were going to brutally fucking murder you today. So that's a relief. Bye, super best friend in the world" and hangs up like the moron he is. But not only that, because well, they can't see each other so I get he doesn't notice the crush in Winry's voice, BUT LING?????? Dude has been with that prince inside a guy's stomach and has carried him around and cooked him his boot and yelled at him for giving up because he can't leave somebody as ambitious as him there without accomplishing what he wants, and then he says some gay bullshit like "Ling is still in there" after looking at Greed's eyes ONCE. One thing is not realizing a girl is crushing on you but Oh my God Edward for fuck's sake get a clue and realize you like men-

envy’s death might just be my favorite scene in all of fullmetal alchemist?? it’s so brilliant every time i see it. this evil character who has done nothing but harm has such a heartbreaking end. envy, who looked down on humans. envy, who finds joy in the pain of others. envy, who could never understand human foolishness. he was jealous of them all along. and he couldn’t handle being understood by the same beings he was envious of. and in the end, he’s crying!!! he is the one who destroys his own philosopher’s stone, because he can’t bear being understood by what he loathes so much, and he can’t let himself be killed by them. in the end, unlike the humans he was so jealous of, he wouldn’t keep fighting. he gave up. he’s the opposite of his brother greed, who accepts his true desire for friendship and connection, and leaves the world feeling content. instead envy is cowardly and leaves the world in such a miserable and sad way.

okay so the main criticism i've been seeing against episode 8 is that beelzebub (among other things) is "too nice" to be the sin of gluttony, because she's an attentive hostess, because she expresses worry over blitz's excess drinking, etc., and i wanna talk about it.

the thing is, i feel like this complaint is rooted in the most basic, somewhat cliche idea of the sin of gluttony, and a somewhat boring approach to bee's character in general. the idea is that, as the sin of gluttony, bee should be encouraging over-indulgence, excess, and the self-destructive aspects of party culture and drinking.

but she's the queen bee. she clearly explains that she can feel the "energy" of everyone at her party, and i think that's very important to analyzing exactly what gluttony means to her. instead of indulging in food and alcohol and drugs and being selfish (as gluttony is generally expected to be about), bee feeds on the ENERGY of the demons around her. and in order to get the best energy she can, she needs to be making sure everyone is actually having FUN and having a good time. gluttony, in this sense, is about EXTRAVAGANCE, having the best quality of everything, rather than just everything in general.

i also think this is why she was so put-off by blitz's actions. when he chugs the entire barrel of alcohol and then is absolutely wasted beyond all reason for the rest of the party, he's NOT actually engaging in her sin. he's not being gluttonous; he's not drinking to have a good time or to indulge or to have fun - he's drowning himself in alcohol because he's trying to forget and ignore all his problems, which is a sin much more akin to pride. his energy feels bad to bee because he's not having fun, he's deeply hurt and trying to distract himself by being self-destructive, which is NOT what her sin is about.

(also, remember, this is supposed to be part TWO of the finale. meaning, this episode (and the introduction of bee's character) directly goes hand-in-hand with the introduction of asmodeus, who's entire club IS about indulgence and depravity and everything you'd expect from the sin of lust. bee and the gluttony party are meant to be a direct foil to the energy of ozzie's.)
