thinking about kubosai attending each others family events

kusuo meeting arens mom and somehow someway they immediately click because shes where arens sass and sarcasm came from, after all

aren being invited to one of kusuos whole familys events by his mom (cuz she was probably the first to know they were together, fuckin mamas boy, and loved him immediately) and kusuo is like "r u sure u wanna go ? ofc i want u there but my whole family together can be like.. a lot." and aren is just like "babe i deal with kaido and nendo all day every day, i think I'll be fine." and kusuos just like brah trust me it is so much worse😭but he goes anyway

saikis grandfather is immediately distrusting of his grandsons boyfriend, and on top of that kumagoro and kumi are also very confused because kumi literally thought he had a girlfriend and kumagoro was convinced he and teruhashi would get married someday

not to even.. mention kusuke. kusuo tries to keep him away from him at all times, and it succeeds less than half the time. hes not that terrible to him (surprisingly to kusuo) but its kind of an amped of version of how he treated teruhashi. he thinks this guy is totally unworthy of his baby brother and is a dick to him, but hes also very aware that not only was this guy a gang leader (which he may or may not use against him later by telling kurumi or something) and could beat the shit out of him when he doesnt have access to a lot of his tech, but also this is kusuos first love and he would definitely kill for him☠️(plus he already knows to be more wary of kusuos nuisances since learning terus true power☠️)

but anyway, they all warm up to aren eventually.. its prob surprisingly quick for kumagoro because this is like the absolute most hes gotten to see his grandson smile.. ever

Oh ok. I get now why a lot of people didn't vibe with the ending.

All and all: excellent manga, overall very good final act, too rushed final 2-3 chapters but weak and honestly mediocre epilogue, which makes the high of the ending kind of leave a bitter taste. I think Noda had a good steed and suddenly he had to finish and had to rush all. So the ending in the sense of the final arc was good but the ending proper (final couple chapters) + epilogue......... Not so much

Just saw a video where someone mentioned reading the curious incident of the dog in the night time, and they thought afterwards they may have autism too. When they brought it up to their mum, she was like "you knew??" cause apparently she'd done that thing people seem to do where they keep an autism diagnosis secret from their kids

It made me remember when my grandma gave me that book to read when we were all at her place for Christmas. She said something like "I think you'll really like it", which confused me cause I was more into fantasy stuff than mystery novels. I mean. I did really like it. But it's one of the things that makes me wonder... did my parents do that thing too...?

its such a gem thing to think about taking someones idea for yourself but never going through with it until theyve personally pissed you off so bad and you want to twist the knife in a bit more

its a june gem thing to do think about it, rationalise it, realise they havent pissed you off and doing it anyways

ergo june gems are genuine maniacs and a hazard to society

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY HAVE SEEN PAUL THIN WITH A SUITCASE, A ROSE AND A BOOK IN THE VICINITY OF THE PISO SOBAO

[danthropologie]

idk about you but I'm really not liking all this l**do talk about going to red bull and how helmut is after his agent and his dad and how he's SO FUNNY MUCH TROLL and started to follow them... I don't like it

i agree with you but here's the thing-

1) lando would literally never in a million years. mclaren is literally built around him and him alone, in what world would his fragile ego allow him to leave that dream scenario just to play second fiddle to max. and that's not even getting into the zak/quadrant or his dad's team investment of it all!! plus with the silverstone result, you just knooooowww he's fully back in on the bullshit zak brown has been selling about properly challenging in 2025 (if he was ever truly on it to begin with, which i doubt 😭)....and at that point, again, why leave just to be second to somebody else

2) helmut marko is squarely to blame for this entire fucking NVD situation. both the hiring AND firing were his doing, it was his idea to go outside of the red bull system based on one (1) single result, and at that point you have to wonder if he has enough leverage in the team right now to be pushing for yet another outside hire, especially when you've got christian (and camp verstappen!) seemingly backing daniel, who's quite literally waiting in the wings

“Damian isn’t ooc what are you talking aboutttt he’s only 14 and wants to trust his dad so badlyyyy guyssss don’t get upsettt” have you never read a comic with Damian in it in your life

[adamsappl]

anonymous sent: K but have you considered that Adam was apparently the "first soul in heaven" Meaning either he died before his entire family OR none of the rest of his family who died before him, like Abel, got to go to Heaven.

I have talked about this before actually!! my adam is of the timeline that he was the only one in his family to go to heaven, and that fact is one of the biggest reasons he got so much worse throughout his afterlife. adam is/was caught in a cycle of losing ... pretty much everything he cares about. first lilith, then the garden, then abel, then (upon death) eve and the rest of his family -- and being the only human soul in heaven for such a long time, he eventually found it easier to just stop caring about people. can't lose what he never had to begin with. the only person he's really cared about since his death is lute ( and, to a lesser extent, the exorcists as a whole ) but he's not just going to CHANGE because he cares about someone. they encourage his shitty behavior, if anything.

WHY the rest of early humanity went to hell, i don't know. but that complete disconnect from the rest of humanity after his death fucked adam up.

I wonder what ani and padmé would have been like as parents to Luke and Leia, and later grandparents to Ben. Like I don't have any great developed thoughts on that whole au concept I just do love the thought. Ben has so much impressive family, and a lot of uncles and aunts to look up to. If a lot of things had gone a lot differently, idk how, and padmé and ani got to grow older and stronger together, if Ben were to have his grandfather not only as a legend but as a person to hold him and tell him stories, I wonder what that would have been like.

im gonna be honest i dont rly appreciate posts saying "please vote for the guy actively funding a genocide over the one who let thousands die to covid." neither of these parties is fucking decelerating shit ones just marginally better at hiding their tracks.

something something about how the rings not just symbolised Yuuri and Victor's bond and was not just an omamori for them something something Victor was the first person Yuuri wanted to hold on to and share his dreams with and depend on after fighting for so long ALONE something something the rings symbolising this exact same thing something something about how Yuuri's arc still is wonderful even when he didn't win the gold because he finally learnt to actually depend on people, share his dreams and aims with them and not fight alone which is something he struggles with for the whole show

I need to buckle down and figure out what my personal understanding of Ceirt/Cert is.

it's fascinating how it seems to have these two diametrically opposing possible meanings (not unlike nGétal), one being tied to coir and right judgment and kingship, which actually fits apple extremely well folklorically, and one connected to madness, misfortune, sacrifice, and illness, which fit both potential etymologies of either Rag or Bush.

it seemed clear to me in the past that the secondary meaning had to be original, especially given my/the bias against the crannogham, but it's still very frustratingly simple that the current Modern Irish meaning is Rightness.

perhaps the meaning of the word shifted to match the evolving understanding of the fid, given the medieval love for the arboreal and more recentness of the Immrama? of course that's a reach but ...
