Okay, okay, so hear me out.

Rayla is the most beautiful person in TDP (obvs), but Callum is the prettiest?

Yes?

This makes sense in my head.

He so pretty. Look at that boy.

I made these yesterday, but they would've been swept away by the unrelenting torrent of Throwing Him Thursday posts, so I'm posting them now.

The thing is that episode 3 must end with a cliffhanger. It must end with Akutagawa's throat being slashed but it not being clear yet if he's fatally dead or not– no better narrative choice could be made. On one hand, it's a great cliffhanger, leaving the audience on edge for one week (or, in the case of when chapter 87 was released, for one month), have them panic over whether Akutagawa is really dead or not. On the other, and this is the true narrative brilliance, nothing is more impactful than the chapter 88 Akutagawa panel - the “you damn fool // hurry up and go” panel - to be at the start of the chapter. At first, it wouldn't look like a wise storytelling choice, would it? Such an emotional and impactful scene, one would expect it to be placed at the end of a chapter, as climax of the action. And yet, I can't help but think there's some kind of spectacular emotional impact to it, perhaps accentuated even more by the unusual narrative choice.

Akutagawa's smile is devastating, it's heartbreaking, it's something the reader can not stop thinking about; and yet, the story cruelly keeps going on. Just like Atsushi is immediately pushed to go on, to take the next step in the fight to save the agency, and is consequently left no time to grieve, the panel covers just a tiny part, a tiny segment of the chapter / episode, and the audience is compelled to go on with no time to recover, no way to elaborate what happened. The events of the story and the way the story is narrated are both telling the same thing: even when time seems to have stopped, the world around keeps spinning, and there's no way to make it stop. Akutagawa's smile is disarming and devastating, and it leaves the audience struggling to keep focusing on the rest of the episode as its image is printed in their minds (and, quite canonically, Atsushi's mind); but the episode, merciless, keeps going on, and you are forced to keep going. The plot keeps unfolding like an unstoppable and overpowering stream even where you just want it to stop to have a second to process what just happened, and it's devastating, and it's beautiful, and it's so narratively brilliant. The audience really becomes Atsushi the moment both of them are denied their right to grieve.

Y'all ever look back and realize your least fav character in your fav show was actually the one most painfully similar to who you were when you first watched it

[eebie]

potentially controversial personal opinion I think arcane s2 would be getting a lot more flack if it wasn't for all the shipping fodder and shiny objects packed in there. convinced you could spoon-feed toddler upchuck to half of the population as long as you go Brrrr here comes the yaoi airplane

am i the only one who find it funny when fyodor calls dazai and chuuya: "dazai-kun" and "chuuya-san" ?

i mean we all know the importance of honorifics in japanese, but as a foreign terrorist who tried to ruin the city before, it just sounds too polite to use it toward your enemies lmao

Summer camps and similar very intense for 2 weeks and then suddenly finished activities are so tragic because you'll form one of the deepest connections of your life and then you never see those people again

9-1-1 LONE STAR IS CANCELLED 😭😭😭💔💔💔

The article I read said it's pretty dang definitive, not gonna get picked up but I just. Not only is it my favorite of the 9-1-1s, it's a huge loss of queer representation. And I just. I know that technically/to a lot of people, 9-1-1 is a better show. But not enough that it deserves to be picked up and Lone Star doesn't.

I'm angry and I'm sad and I'm real tired of this happening xd. Not to even mention that we'll go through the final season without Sierra. Just pay your freaking actors, and this wouldn't happen.

I'm never forgiving Fox for this

RIP 9-1-1 Lone Star, there's still hope for you in my heart :'(( <3
