#funeral thread

[heartsfms]

" that was kinda the point. " this was her best friends funeral, so lori obviously had to show her face, and she knew better than to prance around drunk off her ass, which is why she had found a quiet area away from things before attempting to drown her sorrows. " i don't understand how anyone does these things sober. " she muttered, looking down into what remained of her drink. " of course i do. "

“ i didn’t actually know you were over here. but good to know you can handle your liquor, lori. “ julien attempted to joke to lighten the mood with how reactive the response had been. but he’d be lying if he didn’t understand where she was coming from. and hell, from his perspective the drinking was well warranted. “ look, i get it. “ he exhaled as he folded his arms over his chest, allowing some silence to pass before saying anything else. “ you really miss her, don’t you? “

I swear every time poor Dylan's phone rings in the middle of the night another parent passed away. And this time it was our ILLUSTRIOUS FOUNDER,

THE ICONIC LENNOX RIVERS

The funeral was very classy, with many family and friends in attendance.

the author of rest of resistance talking abt her father dying at 55 from heart complications that came from overworking his whole life is so sad....especially knowing how common it is. and its supposed to be wholesome that as he died his whole community he labored for came to see him off as he passed but there's something grotesque abt the way people will use you til your very last drop of life and then watch you die prematurely :/ its a very negative pov of mine and im aware of it but ive been paying attention to things like that and something just doesn't sit right.....

@girl-in-the-tardis but initially i had this drafted before tony todd passed away as a whole different thing but then he passed and i got sad and when i get sad, doctor who do dark comedy so heres ✨️dark comedy✨️

"And?"

"You will not ruin this simply because you were too chickenshite to aapologize and ask them to peg you in public and instead chose using my shit to avoid yours so, go handle it."

Rose was staring them down, unfazed but internally steamed at the audacity. Who were they to pop up at her dad's- well, step dad but, since they were the same... well, its fickle - funeral. An array of color was what was asked. Wear colors. This world's alternate Pete's family was in mourning and here they were in black.

It was already bad enough their Doctor came to attend - uninvited, mind you - to mourn a version's version of her dad. Though, at least it was clear no one could mistake the Doctor they knew vs the friend she made. She had a better cover story for him. But, for this lot? She can't use twin anything. Twin cousin, twin sisters, step-twins - or clones!

Unless they had perception filters on, they were rather shit out of luck.

She can't vouch for them but, hopefully their Doctor could. Still, appearences - she had to be 'mad'. He was making it difficult though but what else was new.

"And what? I didn't ev–"

That visual she gave shut him right up before he could finish his own thought. Turning about face towards his family. If they were even that anymore. She called it like it was and he couldn't correct her on that. Not now. Like a scolded child, he walked towards them.

[that-spider-fan-over-there]

Read a Twitter thread a few days ago how Katsuki, Izuku and Tomura are meant to be the pillars of hope and change for hero society (by Kikibats, go check her out, the thread is her pinned tweet), and that got me thinking about Tomura's birth name, so I looked up the kanji for his name (志村 転弧, for those curious), and I wanted to share.

(someone probably already did make this connection and worded it better but screw it we bail let's go-)

Kikibats' thread has mentioned what "Shimura" could have originally meant In-Universe, especially "Mura", so it's about a paragraph short, because I'm writing what it could mean in the story as it is (again, In-Universe):

So from the name Shimura Tenko, we have:

Shi (志):

"Determination, ambition, intent", which Tenko does have, arguably even more than Izuku has (I mean, running around barely sleeping while facing Gigantomachia for three months? spending four months in a tube and resurrecting by sheer anger?), but ambitious is after realizing his convictions and intends to carry on the League's. It can also refer to “will” as in willpower, the one trait AFO doesn't have, and the reason he was selected as his vessel.

Mura (村):

Mentioned in her thread, but "Village", could be an ironic spin on “it takes a village to raise a child”, since after his family's death no one was willing to take him in, and the one who did only did so to groom him into a monster. It could also refer to a heroic trait he has (yes, even as he was annoyed at Toya and Himiko when he first met them): taking people in when he thinks they're lonely, have been rejected, wronged by society and wanting to carry on their convictions, which leads to:

Ten (転):

a verb; "to shift", and sure enough, he's the one who created the Vanguard Action Squad with the purpose of kidnapping Katsuki, setting off the Kamino Incident and shifting the status quo of society. You could argue he has been since the USJ but no one really feared him until Stain came along. Tomura is also one of the characters whose goals and motivations develop the most through the story.

It can also mean "to turn", from changed from the sweet kid who wanted to play heroes with his friends, to a symbol of fear. And physically, he's the willing participant in Dr. Garaki's body experimentation and his body is constantly shapeshifted depending on his (and AFO's) mental state.

Finally, “Ko” (弧):

The kanji for “arc”, which is admittedly very vague and it could mean nothing, but.

It could refer to the arc he goes through.

From a kid playing with those others ignored who wanted to be a hero, to being groomed into the Symbol of Evil('s puppet), which eventually unravels once he becomes powerful enough to fight Izuku, resulting in the reveal that in spite of all what he’s been through, he’s still that kid willing to extend his hand (well, in a metaphorical way) for those who want/need someone to rely on. Someone who wants to be the LoV's hero.

Not quite a full circle, but still not too far off from his beginning.

A bonus point, since we (readers and watchers who like to read the raws/watch subbed anime) use "Ko" we usually think of "子" as in komodo, the kanji for "kid", this one abandoned by a complacent village. And remember since Izuku wants to offer him a hand, a crying lonely child in need of a hero. With AFO taking control of him, while Izuku (and most of Class 1-A) trying to save him, wouldn't it be neat to see Tomura choosing to take Izuku's hand, especially someone whose identity was forcefully defined by a touch of death?

Not quite the same innocent kid, but still the kid who wanted to be a hero for those left behind.

Would be fitting for this arc to come full circle, wouldn't it?

yall ever end up thinking back on periods of ur life and ur like. bro what

15. Frieren: Beyond Journey's End (Season 1)

Frieren is a delightful series. The opening premise of an elf watching her friends die around her is already compelling enough, but the themes and storytelling that follow it just brings the whole thing together. My favorite part of the whole thing is the mother-daughter relationship Frieren and Fern have with each other. It starts off kinda superficial, but watching them warm up and get to know each other on a deeper, almost familial level is just so sweet.

worst fucking 24 hours of my life

[stewyhosseini-bf]

one thing I will say that I kind of miss about the previous seasons is how the episodes used to feel a bit more self-contained, like their own little movies, which I'm kind of missing a bit in s4. lucy prebble at one point in the succession podcast described it as them having a sitcom-like feel to them, because each episode is built around one specific event; and while that's definitely still there in season 4, the way each episode does truly pick up almost exactly where the previous one left off time-wise, and the way that Logan's death and the children's grief is the red-thread that closely connects the episodes, kind of makes it feel like one long movie rather then 10 separate episodes. which is interesting and makes sense considering the focus of the season is supposed to be the children dealing with logan's death and consequent absence, and it's puts a slight spin on the formula they've used for 3 seasons and I think they've done that really well - so it isn't even a critique on my part, but I personally still really loved and kinda miss the way the episodes each felt more like their own thing, previously, ig

the side effects of experiencing all this funeral stuff from this up close is honestly that im just starting to plan my own funeral in my head to entertain myself and it also kinda stopped me from being suicidal because i realised no one but me could do it right

@gaveldefy / plotted starter.

She's learned a lot, these last months in Charming. How to become a new person and shed old skin. How to budget. How to become invisible. How to aim a gun. The weight of the weapon is familiar, now, even comforting, and that in and of itself is enough to make Astoria wonder how much of herself is what it was two years ago, before any of this started.

Her family wouldn't recognize her, she knows, and she lets out a humorless huff of laughter at the thought. It's not just the new tattoos, the different makeup, the changes to her hair and her clothes—it's in everything. She carries herself differently, and even though she has more to fear now than she ever did back home, she thinks she's less afraid.

Abel is asleep again, soothed by the sound of her quiet singing, and she could go back to her empty bed and hope that Jax will actually get some sleep tonight, but she's never been a particularly patient woman, and even Charming hasn't changed that. He doesn't sleep enough. Hasn't slept enough since before Donna's funeral, but that day seemed to change something in him. She's still not sure what. She'd be a liar if she said she wasn't worried.

He doesn't turn around when he hears the door opening, and Astoria steps out of the house, wrapped in one of his hoodies and with the baby monitor tucked in her pocket, the silence of the night broken by the gentle static from the speaker. Her legs, bare except for the underwear she slept in, scrape against the cement as she sits, but she barely notices, and when Jax doesn't immediately move away from her, she winds an arm through his, and she plucks the cigarette from between his lips to bring to her own.

"You don't have to talk about it yet," she says quietly, and she slips her hand into his, laces their fingers together. "But if you want to, you can. I'm on your side, love. That's not going to change, whatever it is that's on your mind."

A Funeral For An "X" Friend Named Twitter

After the recent news that Elon Musk would move Twitter to a paid platform, I decided to delete my Twitter account today. To tell you the truth I should have done it sooner. It was bittersweet because I have been on X/Twitter for a long time. My thinking is that it will die sooner rather than later. I also don’t want something like that hanging around because I don’t know what will happen to the…
