an entry for lukewarmtomatosoup´s dtiys on instagram (GO CHECK THEIR AWESOME ART OUT), i really like how it turned out so tumblr gets to see it too

sometimes I think of all the on-the-surface warm, well-meaning but deeply ineffectual advice and attention john gives harrow through harrow the ninth (make some soup and get some sleep! get a hobby! don't be so hard on yourself! self care harrow! as long as I need take no actual responsibility in this relationship whatsoever I would have loved to be your dad!) set up against the stark truth that with his other hand he has been staging her attempted horrific murder again and again and again like a living nightmare on the logic that it will 'put her down or fix her'. and then I find that I wish there is a hell. a special hell where twitch streamers turned necromantic death emperors go

Average Drama Enjoyer observes some peak drama.

[a-most-beloved-fool]

Kira has a nightmare, one night when she's staying at the O'Brien's. Miles and Keiko, sleeping in the other room, don't hear her get up - but Molly does.

And Molly, being clever and kind, knows exactly what to do when someone has a nightmare. (Or, at least, she knows what her parents always do for her.) So she sits Kira down and brings her a glass of warm milk, and sits by her side as she drinks it.

Then, she takes Kira by the hand and leads her - to her parents bedroom. "I always sleep with mommy and daddy after a nightmare," she explains, when Kira stops outside the door. "It helps! Mommy chases the scary things away. And Daddy is warm."

"Molly," Kira says quietly, a little embarrassed, "I don't think your parents want me in their bed. Even if I did have a nightmare."

"No, they won't mind!" Molly assures.

Then, of course, Miles wakes up.

"Molly?" he asks, voice rough with sleep. "Did you have a nightmare?"

"No, but Miss Kira did!"

And now Keiko's awake, too, sitting up and saying, "Nerys? Are you alright?"

Mortified, Kira says, "Yes, I'm fine, I was just - on my way back to bed. Molly brought me here. I'm - sorry for waking you. I'll just be-"

"You can stay, if you want," Miles offers.

Kira doesn't quite think she heard him right. "What?"

"You can sleep here, if you think it might help," Keiko says.

"Or even if you don't!" Miles adds.

Kira opens her mouth, then closes it again. "I, uh-"

Keiko gets up, and takes Kira, gently, by the hand. Her palm is soft, Kira can't help but notice.

"Brr, it's freezing out here!" Keiko says, tugging Kira along. "You'd better get in before you catch your death of cold. Miles is practically a furnace, so you'll be nice and warm with us."

"And, Molly, you'd best go back to bed, too. You've got school in the morning," Miles says, as Keiko bundles Kira into the bed between them.

As Molly makes her way out, Keiko swings a lazy arm over Kira's back. "Sleep," she hums. "We'll be here in the morning."

Kira, feeling warm and cared for and more than a little overwhelmed, does.

EDYN TIDESTRIDER, CHALLENGER OF THE UNDERSEA, RIVAL OF THE DEEP. WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOUR BROTHER WAS CHOSEN TO BE A WEAPON OF THE GODS? HOW WILL YOU UNDO WHAT THEY HAVE DONE TO HIM?

[theimpossiblescheme]

I like the idea that the whole "Lupin is some kind of faceless nigh-eldritch being who subsumes people's entire identities, and he's definitely Hiding Something under the mask he wears for a face" rumor persists in-universe because Lupin himself fucking loves it. There's no better way to both keep up your Criminal Mystique(TM) and stop people from meddling in your business than sinister gossip. He must get a huge kick out of people whispering about who or what he really is wherever he goes, and he's probably almost blown his cover giggling about it when he goes out drinking with Jigen in disguise.

Most of all, it's a hell of a lot more glamorous than the reality. Because there's no interdimensional, incomprehensible creature under the mask. It's old scars. Grey hairs. Crow's feet and frown lines. Powder burns and pockmarks from getting shot in the face. Cheekbones and nose cartilage not quite healing right. Eye contacts that keep getting thicker and thicker with each passing year. His path in life isn't the kind that's gonna leave a good-looking corpse, and he'd really rather not have anyone following him down it unless they know exactly what they're getting into. So if they believe it's ontologically impossible to become just like Lupin the Third... so much the better.

While I do think anon was rude, I do think it's pretty shitty to set up all this stuff you were going to add the au and then just drop it. It's disappointing. Definitely unfollowing.

Bye.

Product Recommendation: Surviving the Respiratory Crud Edition

Various unpleasant viruses and stuff are going around, and I think I got the mild version - it's not COVID and in my case didn't even include a fever, just a ton of congestion and a nagging cough. It's been a week and I'm on the recovery upswing but still not there yet. The good news is I can forget, for hours at a time, that I'm ill, thanks to taking these products on the scheduled doses. And Robitussin wasn't lying when they said their raspberry is 'better tasting': it still tastes like cold medicine, but is strikingly palatable and minimally cloying (identical taste in both this and the longer-lasting nighttime formula). I can also attest it got me through my bought of COVID last year.

The Throat Coat sweet ginger fennel, meanwhile, is like candy. Naturally mentholated candy, which might feel a bit weird but in a very good way when it's simultaneous numbing your throat and cold-steaming open your sinuses (that's how it feels to me, anyway). Throat Coat does a tea that I'm enjoying, too, which doesn't taste like medicine at all but just a soothing, not-too-sweet but not-at-all-bitter herbal tea.

Anyway, this is a recommendation if you have the time and means to stock up before the crud gets you, and because it was a nice surprise to find cold medicine that's not only quickly effective but also tastes fine.

There's always something about this ending in the film that gets me choked up whenever I rewatch it.

Just seeing the two brothers together as they jump around the platforms in their new home in the Mushroom kingdom, laughing, goofing off, and having a good time.

Then, in the very last shot, we see them jump into the warp pipe, waving back to the other Toads, and then they seemingly look back directly at us, the audience, almost as if they're saying "Thanks for watching the movie, we'll see ya soon", that sort of thing as they disappear.

It's makes it more emotional since it's the very last shot we see before the title card comes up, and it gets me EVERY, DAMN, TIME.

I guess I miss them too much at this point 😢

That and I'm never going to hear Mr. Blue Sky the same way ever again after watching this film. XD

what are your thoughts on Jason's death? because I feel like the path Rick paved for his death is not the best, like i mean, we don't know or love him enough to make his death truly devastating. like of course there is his plan to make the cabins and stuff for the gods and his influence on lester, but I feel like in hoo even though he's basically the main character (especially in tlh), he's not made out as a very distinctive character, so when he dies, I feel like it doesn't hit as hard

Jason's indistinctive nature is exactly why his death is so impactful. I do agree that it would've been nice to gain a deeper understanding of Jason in the same way we did with Percy in the first series, considering we were introduced to him as an amnesiac. However, I encourage you to consider that while it is true we don't know who Jason is outside of the soldier he's molded as, neither does he. We can spectulate all we want about his relationships, adventures, and what his desires were, or would have been, had he'd gotten the chance to see it through—but the fact of the matter is we'll never really know. Jason's legacy forever resides in between the lines of story cut short, a life not lived but survived.
