One Spring Night genuinely my new favourite romantic drama, it's so well-written and sweet and it has some of the best chemistry I've seen in kdramas. Even Giseok had great character writing and all the secondary characters delivered, I hated and loved them when the scene required it. A romantic drama that gave powerful external conflict while always balancing the angst with the most satisfying romantic scenes, with a couple that went from electric chemisty between strangers to the sweetest most romantic couple that communicates!!.... sigh I will miss them
#and now WHAT#NOW WHAT#one spring night#genuinely my shit like. I was THERE for all the characters#even giseok's father had surprising depth like wtf#lyde vs kdramas#where do i find other dramas like this one#jung hae in#han ji min#also both main characters were so 3 dimensional#LOVED the last episode it was just. perfect culmination#the only weaker ep is 15th of course#bc it's the final slump

Finally got around to watching ep 11 (´;ω;`)
#I'm late...#I'm sorry I wasn't able to watch the episode by time last week but again. Food poisoning. And then the new chapter came out#I feel like I had much more to say when I started watching it last week...#Mmmmhh. I really like when bsd animation uses the colored lineart effect for flashbacks / subspaces (Anne's Room‚ Poe's books).#I think it's one of the prettiest and most original things of the bsd animation.#I've always felt like the Natsume reveal was a bit coming out of nowhere lol.#Here's this legendary ability user everyone knows but no one has ever seen with this immensely unthinkable powerful ability...#That the reader literally wasn't ever made aware of in the previous 49 chapters lol#After all that build up‚ his ability even feels a little underwhelming.#Which I suppose was the intended result‚ but I'm not sure it really works all that well in the end.#Then Naomi's words “Come to think of it‚ the things that happen when Mii-chan vanishes [...]‚ disasters are stopped every time”#really feel soooo out of place when so-called Mii-chan was never before mentioned up to this episode (╥﹏╥)#But I'll stop complaining. It's nothing big really#Fukuzawa and Mori's relationship is very homoerotic. Tbh#I looooove the ss/kk I don't even have much to say just watching scenes of them interacting together fills my heart of a warm feeling :')#The animation quality is very poor and the drawings are very undetailed but really I love ss/kk too much to care.#A lot of emphasis is put by the fandom on Atsushi's cruel remark towards Akutagawa in this ch/ep and it *is* cruel but really...#Akutagawa had literally just attacked Atsushi in a death-threatening way‚ futilely and completely unprompted#I can't find it in myself to blame Atsushi if he was irritated and lashed out at him.#And all their other moments are just so cute. What do you mean Akutagawa is deeply interested in understanding Atsushi's motivations.#What do you mean Atsushi can't get Akutagawa out of his mind!!!! They're so cute#So many more cute moments were cut out too rip lawnmower line you'll always be missed rip date line you'll always be missed#I feel like Pushkin's character is another instance of‚‚‚ Wow me and the author's morals really don't align at all#I really don't like the narrative of “weaker people will constantly try to harm and take advantage of strongest ones”#random rambles#Fun fact when I watched this episode for the first time I asked my mother to join me. Because I know a ss/kk scene was coming and I really–#didn't want to watch it alone. Well as it turned out the whole first half of the episode was dedicated to old man fighting–#and she gave up after that 😂😂 But I'm still grateful to her for trying.

ngl i actually quite like the black rose arc
#yeahhh its probably one of the weaker arcs but even aside from how ppl call it ''pointless filler'' (not true)#i personally had a lot of fun with it#again wakaba flourishing is genuinely a fantastic episode all around but idk. i like it when side characters get to have the spotlight#even the eps that feel less connected still feel great for the meta of the overall show and its story#like how touga doesnt actually have anyone who is genuinely close to him- the only ones who could count are other duelists#so they have to REALLY stretch the line and have one of nanami's previously one dimensional lackeys take his sword#and while doing so they also show how nanami's friends arent even her friends. they just use each other and hate each other#so its also a great nanami episode#the one who i wish got more time is kanae but at the same time i do get why she faded into the background#bc akio's degraded her so much that she loses more and more of herself over time...#idk if ive ever said this but man. i like kanae. her story in the show is really fucked up and tragic too#i like to think after the finale that nanami or someone helped her leave akio and ohtori... even if shes fully under his control#so was anthy and she still got out. so i wanna think theres hope for kanae#echoed voice

overtake! ✧ episode 6
#crab watches#overtake!#god i wasn't fucking ready#i thought oh silly f4 anime that'll probably be a bit of mild fun but unspectacular#AND THEN THE EMOTIONS APPEAR#THIS IS DEVASTATING (positive) TO ME#the more they come to care about each other the more they're able to help each other overcome their pasts#but of course as kouya starts to care about haruka more he worries more#and doesn't want him to literally die#THIS IS FAMILY. TO ME.#i've said it before but i still REALLY love that it's not such a formulaic father-son bond#tbh i think it would've felt weaker if kouya were put in a position of replacing haruka's father#because like even without following a rigid family structure THIS IS A FAMILY!! BEING FOUNDED RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES!!!#i haven't even finished the episode yet i'm dreading what's to come and already on the floor from this moment#LOVE haruka going from so withdrawn to being able to make a grand speech/declaration like this#only to be told no i don't want that#ue ue ue GOOD WRITING IS AFOOT

We've been watching JoJo for the first time 8 episodes in and idk I feel pretty indifferent about it?
#i know the series are supposed to vary quite a bit from the first so maybe the popularity is more for the later stuff#like just watching the anime alone it seems hard to imagine that this alone could be so big#but in reality i know theres the manga readers to account for#its not even like i hate it i just mostly dont feel much at all atm#i do laugh occasionally less cause actual comedy more so at the nonsense fighting moves coming from nowhere#and ill admit it does have more gore than i thought it would which was a surprise#but like i just think for a fighting anime it lacks in comparison to others#like some fighting anime drag sure but this is like way too fast like theres not enough stuggle jojo just defeats guy after guy so easy#also i think its weaker on establishing character than other animes even fighting ones#like they hammer in dio is evil jojo good but thats like it#but again only 8 episodes in and idk what im in for#its fine enough to put on fir now and maybe itll grow on me im curious enough to keep at it at least

This is so endearing 💖😭
#the Instagram comments are so soulless and annoying#It's a literal instant mood damper to realize that all that most people care about is arguing and using the same insult over and over it#in the name of trying to be abrasive when they're so incapable of original thought that all they can come up with is the same insult like#clones saying dumb garbage like “stop watching nobody cares”#As if that hasn't been played out and into the f****** ground at this point because they're all sheep and cattle#rick and morty#rick sanchez#I hope he becomes even weaker and even more indunctional the more the episode goes on#lmfao- As a self shipper it just makes me want to#take care of him even more with the more bubbly and soft and endearing side of our relationship#r

Are there any other Kirby fans on here who are also fans of Star Trek? I’ve met a couple of people on here who like both, but I’m trying to see if there’s anyone else.
I’m a big fan of Star Trek and I actually see a lot of parallels between Kirby and Star Trek (some examples of this are they both have mirror versions of the characters and the plot of Planet Robobot is just the plot of every Borg episode from Star Trek). I also like to include Star Trek references in my Kirby fanart (like making a reference to the Vulcan philosophy IDIC/Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations in my Meta Knight backstory comic) and I was wondering if anyone else in the fandom likes to do stuff like that in their art or writing. Where are all of the Kirby Trekkies at lmao 🖖
#text post#Kirby#I personally see a lot of parallels between Kirby and Star Trek#like both franchises have a mirror universe/mirror versions of the characters#and the plot of Planet Robobot is just the plot of every Borg episode in Star Trek#also Dedede and Meta Knight’s whole relationship reminds me a lot of Kirk and Spock lmao#my favorite Star Trek shows are Voyager and Deep Space Nine those are the ones with Captain Janeway and Captain Sisko#I think that all the shows have strong points and weak points some are weaker than others but I wouldn’t say any of them are awful#even when Star Trek has bad episodes they’re usually still entertaining to watch#I think the only show I genuinely didn’t like is Picard#I just didn’t like some of the writing decisions in it like the decision to bring back then immediately kill off beloved legacy characters#all of the other shows I either love or think are decent even if they aren’t my favorite or have flaws#anyway I love Kirby and Star Trek feel free to talk with me about either of them lol I’ll be happy to talk#my ask box and my DMs are open

all I can say is I am really happy to meet him
#to delete later#sorry for babbling in the tags#but i NEED to for a moment#maybe he isn’t the greenest flag#maybe I find a little too much comfort in him for a character I've known for maybe a month#(and I haven't even finished reading sd yet)#but fianlly I don't have to wait a sick amount of chapters/episodes to see him#and it makes me so happy when everyone just appreciates him#like okay he is the mvp of junior high and now he is a little weaker than he was but still has the respect of others#Of course he has his difficult moments but Inoue doesnt intentionally harm him#(I think about one particular author and what he did with my comfort character now :) )#reminds me so much of the second most important boy from my comfort list - just author isnt bullying him#(I found peace)#I have a rule that I add characters to this list after about a year of hyperfixation#but mitsui will probably skip this rule#My yesterday's thoughts but I didnt manage to write it - I just fell from fatigue

Considering just how attached I am to this man, and his usual fate in multiple continuities in the Leijiverse, I'm probably gonna end up crying by the end of SSX I stg.
This man. I love him so much.
#f/o#self ship#self shipping#fictional crushes#fictional other#just had to fall for the doomed blorbo huh#well leijiverse continuity is loose af so the multiverse theory applies here thankfully#but damn#poor fella#and poor tochiro can't seem to catch a break in this series either#he's gotten injured like three times over the course of 15 episodes so far#he hit his head he got slashed in the belly and shoulder in a duel and he got zapped by an evil robot#this man needs a hug#and even in a weaker state he was able to fix the arcadia's engine while it was underwater nearing its limit like damn#he needed rest but he's determined dammit#i love him

watching japanese pokemon openings again and sorta ranking them in my head, and its kinda insane to me that i think the dub openings for bw are consistently better than the originals
#i dont really care for ‘’be an arrow’’ sadly :/ both versions. they both feel very off#like they dont match the animation which doesnt look as great here#i dont like the vocals in ‘’summery slope’’ and the visuals are weirdly underwhelming for a final season#i actually genuinely still love the first op though. the 3d was super cool at the time and the vocals are beautiful#and the pokemon being unveiled as they appeared in the show was really cool#almost mesmerizing even#i started the bw anime before i had the game as a kid bc japan got it first so the anime was my introduction to the unova pokemon#and i remember this opening just hit different in that context bc it really was like i was slowly becoming more familiar with unova#i miss that feeling#its the only japanese opening i like for bw yeah djdjdjjd#the only thing is that it goes on for too long in the show and they run out of pokemon to unveil by like episode 20#but that doesnt hurt its quality on its own#and then you go to the english dub and. yeah theyre all super solid songs#i dont like the first dub op as much as the japanese one but the song is still fantastic#‘’rival destinies’’ has hype vocals and its super fun to listen to. and they did a fine job with selecting clips for it#(since they had literally no footage to work with bc the sub was still using the first op JDJDJDJ#‘’its always you and me’’ is weaker than those two but still a really entertaining song and i do vibe to it when it comes on and the visuals#for both are neat. especially with the shot of N and his sisters at the end#it almost feels like a paradox bc immediately after this the sub put out consistent bangers while the dub kept tripping and falling#echoed voice

season 9 review
#there's so much i could say about this season tbh it unlocked something in my brain#it rearranged my brain chemistry and i'm not sure if that's a good or a bad thing yet#first of all my man was a hot fucking MESS this season from the whole angel possession thing and the cain thing it was bad for him AND me#this season also got me to come around to cas finally after him being on the show for five seasons#and sam is starting not to bother me as much he's mellowing out and i'm enjoying that#all that being said this in my opinion is one of the weaker seasons of the ones i've seen so far#a lot like season 7 it felt like a plot that could've been fleshed out and resolved in maybe 10 to 15 episodes if that#and the writers needed to meet the 23 episode mark and they didn't really know how to stretch the plot to make that happen#and so they kind of wandered around plot wise for about 7ish episodes where in other seasons almost every filler ties back to the main plot#i could really feel the filler episodes this season the same way i felt them in s7 and although a lot more happened this season#it still could've been wrapped up a lot faster or they could've done more with the plot lines they had going#i did enjoy this season like i'm having fun watching the show it just felt a little weak in certain areas#AND DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE BACKDOOR PILOT EPISODE THAT WAS SOOOOOO FUCKING AWFUL#anyways my updated season ranking is 5 > 3 > 2 > 4 > 8 > 1 > 6 > 9 > 7#walkie.talkie

rewatched gravity falls, still a banger 😎
#probably the best american cartoon ive seen#some parts make me wince looking back but the overall story still hits#and its also just a very funny show#i knew every joke and i still kept chuckling#some episodes are weaker than others but even those aren't completely insufferable#actually scratch that i really didn't like roadside attraction when it first came out and i still don't#but that's really it#the manotaur kinda sucks too but there are some good jokes and it had an okay lesson for kids

they've really gone rouge with this seasons adaption of Romancing Mister Bridgerton
#the first two seasons i actually felt greatly improved the plots by better weaving the characters together and creating a more cohesive plot#and motivations. but this one is all out of wack (thus far. havent finished). and that hot air balloon bit?? man what.#Romancing Mister Bridgerton was one of the weaker novels imo and i kinda thought the show runners wouldnt fumble penelope as badly.#colin is also much more one dimensional in the show. half his personality is wistful staring#the author created interesting side characters but could only write the same protagonists--especially the men. season two gave me hope the#show would actually differentiate the kids since the leads had such insane chemistry and anthony was actually interesting. but alas.#penelope girl you can do better. focus on your rag.#why am i so pressed about this show. I hated the books.#every episode. wake up. go to a morning party. furtively stare. go to an evening party. wistfully sigh. go home. repeat.

When I first watched this episode, I was very confused about Lestat's motivations for being at the trial. During Claudia's execution, I kept thinking, why isn't he moving? Just do something. Help her.
I understand now that Lestat, at this point, is much weaker than usual for reasons that haven't yet been fully explored. From interviews with Sam Reid, I also learned that there was no way Lestat would miss this trial. However, Lestat isn't a planner—he arrived, memorized his lines, yet was utterly unprepared for what was about to unfold. The only thing he knew for sure was that he was going to save Louis. That was his sole plan.
When Claudia says, "It's never been about me," you can see the guilt and shame in Lestat's eyes. Yet, when she announces her plan to kill everyone in the crowd after her death, he's staring at her with pride.
I believe Lestat did a lot of reflecting while in his coffin, pondering how he ended up in this situation and what led his fledglings to turn against him. I think he was actually proud of Claudia for successfully orchestrating his murder. She outsmarted him, and he had entirely underestimated her. This final act of violence made them equals in his eyes.
However, I don't think Lestat ever truly saw himself as a 'father.' He had no example of good parenting in his human life and this had no idea how to treat a child. From the beginning, he was referred to as Uncle Les while Louis took on the paternal role. Then, when Claudia became an adult, Lestat was forced to regard her as a sister.
The idea that someone could look to him as a father wasn't even conceivable to Lestat. In Claudia's final moments, when she looks to him like a child looks to a parent for help, it is horrifying on so many levels. It shocks him to his core when he realizes that he is her father and that he's letting her die right before his eyes. And even worse, Claudia was right—it was never about her.
#interview with the vampire#iwtv#iwtv spoilers#lestat#lestat de lioncourt#iwtv claudia#claudia de lioncourt#amc iwtv#iwtv meta#iwtv season 2#iwtv s2#lestat and claudia#lestat meta#he will be haunted by claudia for the rest of his life#and good#i think he needs to face the consequences of his actions#and also who better to humble lestat than ghostclaudia?#(plus we could get a dream/ghostClaudia in season 3 which means more Delaney Hayles)
