Tumblr users, for the punchline of their pithy joke, will need an example of a character or piece of media that is just absurd to seriously engage with, and often they'll choose Thomas the Tank Engine (of course). Blue Choo-Choo is instant comedy, just add water text BAM! publish. done. hahahahaaaa.

And I think it's very cool and sexy how all of us will just climb out of the woodwork to earnestly and unironically reblog the shit out of it. (Or at least it's very funny of us. That's right gang, destroy OP's notifications with train face pfps)

WRT LU Wild's waist-to-hip length hair, as someone with mid-thigh, 2C fine hair...

Yeah, actually, you *can* get knots out after 2-3 days of not brushing your hair even if you had it down all day. Like, I'm pretty sure straight hair knots less badly than curly does and curly hair is best handled not brushing it dry and can go a few days without a wash.

The best strategy for growing your hair long is, in fact, called "benign neglect" (from the Long Hair Community forums, specifically, a community for people who want really long hair.) This applies to all hair types, because the less you man-handle it the better it does. A braid or updo is better than a long ponytail but people very active on the forum absolutely have done that.

LU Wild is fine. And even if he's not, that's up to him how he handles his hair. God knows most people do worse things to it modern day, and whether he prefers brushing it briefly multiple times a day, or spending thirty minutes on it every few are both fine.

But ultimately, I hear y'all talking about how nasty his hair care is and I am very unwillingly reminded of the feral tropes that piss me off so much.

If you're going to give him "bad habits" keep in mind what you're invoking when you do and do it honestly. It's not like I don't write this, especially because hair-care can be really sweet and yeah, some days you DO go longer than you meant to (also me.)

Just do it with kindness for him, and people who's lived experiences this is.

It’s wild running into a mutual again after you’ve changed your name & became a completely different person. I’ve been through entire character arcs since the pandemic started basically! Like hey yes you may or may not remember me but it’s wonderful to see you again! 😸💜

thinking about how in s4 sayid and desmond were stuck on the damb freighter and technically all they had was each other and how desmond managed to keep so much hope within him in the present because of penny (who believed him and didn't give up on him) and sayid was the one who helped desmond connect to her

and how in s6 the thing that snaps sayid out of his weird catatonic state was confronting desmond in the well which turns into desmond confronting him about whether or not what he is doing is worth it

sayid helps desmond become himself again by helping him reconnect with penny—the woman he loves, arguably the only reason that kept him going, the very thing he held onto to keep living. and desmond helps sayid become himself again by helping him realize that even if sayid is able to bring back and be with "the woman he loved", at what cost would that be?

masato/aoki has been a hyperfixation of mine for almost 3 years now unfortunately he's a little worm in my brain slowly killing me off. this is half a response to some asks i've seen, a sort of explanation to aoki looking different to masato (which is definitely nonsensical in ways) may be because he's somewhat healthier than when he was as masato, hence he's not deathly pale, tired looking and a bit of weight gain maybe? (personally love his hamster cheeks as aoki). as a disabled person myself i don't think rgg really thought much through in his disability and the shit it can bring?? hoping yakuza 8 brings more context for him though i doubt it. again unfortunately,,, he's important to me regardless and ngl the hate he gets makes me upset sometimes. like he is definitely awful awful, especially aoki. my autism could write a whole deep dive essay about his character that no one wants to hear lmfao. also your masato art is a joy, just to let you know <3 as a fellow daigo enjoyer,, masadai ex boyfriends is the most valid and superior ship for masato lmao. ty for your service in this fandom 💪

damn im honored to be gettin a letter from THE ceo of ryo aoki themselves.. even if its anonymous ill still frame it on my wall hiii ty for writin <3

BUT YEAH that's what i figured in how drastic masato is from aoki- like his eyes notably lose that dark ring and his skin and lips get more color (tho that could be because he's in the sun more but who's to say it can't be both).

i really REALLY wish RGG wasn't so flippant about his disability, i go insane trying to figure out exactly what it is or what it could be so i can approach it better when portraying him and also just thinking about him. 'weak lung syndrome', surprise surprise, can mean a lot of things

it's already p cringe that they just poof it away with a lung transplant and get rid of it all together in ishin when there was no real reason to have him stand at all. like. he's literally in two scenes, one where he is sitting but the other he's just talking to the air while takechi sits in the room.

never mind im curious if he ever had to deal with his body potentially rejecting the new organ for a bit since that is a very real concern when it comes to organ transplants, but i get not really finding the need to dive into it since that transplant would have been 20 years ago and the chance to talk about it is slim. still, they could have at least give his initial illness a proper name or diagnosis if they were just going to make it disappear literally one chapter later

anyway, ty again for writin !!! i'm happy i can feed the worm that lives in your brain 🥰🥰🥰
