Me making jokes about Buck's jealousy and pretending it's not rooted in his fear of people leaving him, replacing him, forgetting him and being alone because, you know, who would stick around with someone broken when they can be with someone 'normal' because it gets sad real quick lmao

I love Ibara and Yuzuru so much. Obviously for all the deep reasons because I’m insane about their lore, but also in the very simple way that most of the stories they appear together in are either “ugh I hate this guy so much, why do I have to be near him? I’m going to kill him. He’s here to ruin everything” or they’re *hunts him down to pester him* *thinks about their joint past* *actively looks for him* *reflects on their bond* *tracks him down for entertainment* *psychoanalyses him in an internal monologue*
Guys you are OBSESSED with each other, it’s embarrassing :/
#Cham goes crazy#but it makes sense because they know each other so intimately like no one else knows them#whilst despising that fact because neither of them want anyone to know#the horror of being understood vs the comfort of having someone who KNOWS#the jealous resentment for each other’s lives too#Yuzuru left Ibara behind#but he wanted to be his safe haven. he wanted to be the thing Ibara could spend his life treasuring#instead he went back to the himemiyas and found comfort in treasuring tori#meanwhile Ibara has made Nagisa his treasure#but they’ll always know. they’ll always know that it could’ve been each other. that they both wanted that#AGHHHHHH#enstars#ibayuzu#ibyz#yuzubara#yuzuiba#Ibara Saegusa#Yuzuru Fushimi#ensemble stars

(anthytouga voice) why would i be compassionate to nanami ew disgusting nanami’s literally the worst nanami is a cockroach i hope she dies she’s so fucking stupid oh my god being compassionate to nanami is the worsttttttt so what if the worst things ever happen to her and it’s my fault that’s just lifeohhhhhhhhhhh oh? utena is experiencing the worst things ever and i helped? and i helped? oh well i should just kill myself. oh well i should just kill myself and save her because actually utena is Good. and stupid. but Good. unlike nanami lol nanami was born cursed to suffer haha nanami’s got that karmic punishment coming lollllll But Utena Does Not <3
#i find this ‘discrepancy’ (for want of a better word) FASCINATING#bc it’s not like anthy and touga don’t both identify with utena at times#in a manner VERY similar to their identification with nanami (‘you don’t know what i know but you feel and experience the same things’)#but with nanami. die kill maim vibes. and with utena. look at that poor kicked (noble) puppy vibes#something about utena being brought into something so obviously#when nanami has always been here. crab bucket moment idk#nanami in 32 vs utena in 39…. i think the thoughts#like why would nanami extend a hand to anthy. she wouldn’t#what’s crazy to me is she TRIES to do that w touga bc of course she does#but she realises he’s not gonna do that. and her wanting him to doesn’t outweigh her wanting to live anymore#utena reaches out to anthy bc she wants to#it’s like. nanami’s rejection of the system and in turn anthy and touga’s worldviews is that cold hard realisation one needs#perhaps more obviously touga but it impacts anthy all the same — next episode is 33!!!! hello!!!!!!!#but they still feel more or less powerless. just cogs in a machine it’s just that now they’re more aware of their own pain and others’#and touga gets left behind in this bc he’s ruined his meaningful connections with like Everyone Ever#but utena reaches out to anthy as i said before. and utena says ‘i care about you’ and it’s not for herself as much as it is for anthy#ohhhhhh i am just. i am Just#dais.txt

I’m replaying act 1 (for the fifth time) and when Gale is explaining his condition to you he mentions he’s “never told another living soul” about it, except for Tara. You’re telling me this man shut himself up in his tower for an entire year and didn’t tell anyone why and no one ever bothered to find out? He has so few people who care about him in his life that he fell into a depression and disappeared for a year and NO ONE thought to go and check on him and find out what was wrong? He’s had no one but Tara providing help and support until he meets Tav???????
#I’m just#this is my Astarion run but holy shit GALE#like no wonder he’s a little bit insane#how isolated has he been his whole life that he has no one but his cat who cares enough to take care of him#the way he speaks about his mother I thought they’d be pretty close but even she never found out about the orb??#either she shrugged off her brilliant son turning into a depressed recluse or she never bothered to check on him at all#and tbh Gale might not even realize that’s Not Ideal#maybe he’s always been held at a distance by his family#I have hcs about this actually#anyway that fucked me up this time#the way he begs tav for help finding items to feed the orb like he’s fully expecting to be shot down and left behind#ughhhhhhh I am Upset about the wizard again friends#bg3#baldur’s gate 3#gale of waterdeep#I didn’t even go into how Mystra also abandoned him at the same time#so he was going through a break up and a crisis of faith and being a human bomb all at once#🥲

I'm rewatching Finding Dory, and Hank is honestly a miracle of animation
#Finding Dory#n0t seri0us#I had a dream about it last night that was like... a sequel to finding dory#humans had left the earth in ships that looked like the titanic on a big cushion of water#and I guess water had risen and fish were living among the abandoned cities#except the humans were also coming back and were a threat somehow? and the humans were also trying to reintroduce species#and make something like a zoo or nature reserve#it was all so stressful (thanks sertaline)#on a biology note I do enjoy the fact that when he's in water#Hank mainly crawls around instead of swimming#irl when octopuses swim their main heart stops beating so they can't swim for long before they have to stop#also Hank you bullshitter you would have definitely been able to fit in the pipes lmao#the only real 'hard' part of an octopus is the beak and potentially the eyes#so I thibk he would have been able to fit lol#also fun fact an octopuses can asphyxiate in it's own ink if it inks in an enclosed container (e.g. if they're being transported somewhere)#it's one of the reasons why they're so difficult to transport#on top of their amazing escape abilities#it's something I always think about when Hank inks in the kidzone pool lol#also during this rewatch I was like 'octopuses have a venomous bite. hank could potentially bite the kids.' (not recommended)#octopuses have two saliva glands#one is in the buccal mass - the sack that contains the beak & radula#the other is er.... behind it I think? closer to the eyes? If I recall correctly that's the one responsible for the venom#anyway back to the film & a big shout out to Hank because he is one of two octopuses that kickstarted my obsession with the#*them#the other was octodad lol

Six Ears, and being left.
#mhw09 personal#gif warning#*screaming into knees*#can I draw your attention to his HAND PLEASE#I didn't realize that was going to be a *thing*#that little WAVE#I paid subzero attention to the closing and it was because I was subconsciously protecting my heart apparently#listen to me listen#it's about 'and a double-edged sword cuts your heart in two'#torn between Stone Monkey and *gestures to everything else in his life* *like literally everything*#it's about Stone Monkey going where Six Ears can't follow#and where the line is between staying behind and being left behind#and so he's stuck in place. watching him leave. weights around his ankles.#whether those be his duty to his troop or the demons in his head#always holding back. always in-between. always feeling like he's going to lose *something*.#six ears and that fear that's inside him#I've only seen 11 episodes and have just One Major Spoiler in my pocket am I barking up the wrong tree? MAYBE#but here we are anyway#also Jade Rabbit looking at him in concern from the background! this missing scene is gold. too bad it's on eternal mute.

chainshipping but they dont get together for years despite pining because they cannot sacrifice their weird codependent friendship if the other doesnt feel the same
#chainshipping#sawposting#like they cant stand the thought of losing the other in anyway#adam finds himself staring and thinking thoughts but also has such severe anxiety about being abandoned and left behind that he just ignores#it and lets it all live inside because the thought of lawrence leaving bc he doesnt share the feelings makes adam want to vomit#lawrence being touchy and always bringing adam along as his plus one but never says more bc he cant cant cant stand the thought of adam not#letting him in and kicking him out of their bed (bc weird codependent bond means they sleep in the same bed or w/e)#idk this doesnt make sense but it does to meeee#and the sweet sweet moment when they spill their guts (idk why or how) and noooothing changes except intent and the knowledge that lawrence#brushing up against adam is on purpose just to feel his warmth and adam can say his thoughts out loud and they fuck nasty

i hate the bracelet storyline just because it makes me really sad for all parties involved but my god does it scratch all the characterisation itches in my brain. there’s nothing i enjoy more than thinking about what might happen post bracelet with james’s characterisation especially.
#i’ve been working on this one shot for over a year that’s basically a james character study#takes place over the course of a summer in idris#because i think his first time back in idris post tlh would be interesting to say the least#and i just love picking apart his character looking at all the little and big scars the bracelet left behind#and at how he navigates all that#and cordelia by extension of course#to me there is a lot to unpack there that i feel like chot didn’t quite manage to unpack#i was satisfied with his arc overall but james being my little guy means i always want more i fear#so i’m trying to write more for my own sake#tlh#james herondale

lays on the floor do you guys ever think about how in ResF Bulma falls for Vegeta's fake-out with Freeza and both she and Yamcha are worried about Vegeta's villain fake-out strategy in Champa and Beerus' mini tournament and how it's only been a couple of years since the Buu saga and how Vegeta straight up stopped using that strategy after that tournament
#i do#do you think he noticed it upset her twice in a row and was like 'oh I haven't earned the trust back yet i'll retire this strat'#'it's fun to scare people but i do not like my wife being scared we can put this one up on the shelf for emergencies only'#because like bulma can consciously trust him and I'm sure she does but one can still have The Fear if you've seen your spouse relapse befor#And he probably thinks it's very amusing but it is also almost certainly very not funny for her no matter how much she trusts him#and the next arc is Trunks and she's so worried about the way he left she ignored the PDA rules and squished him when she saw him alive#Because Geets determination can be self destructive when it comes to Bulma and Trunks and he killed himself to protect them once before#and knowing how connected they've been for so long some part of her probably Knew he would opt to stay behind and die like he was going to#And I love the idea that between those two events and all of the things Trunks tells him about Bulma during the GB arc Geets has to really#really be confronted with how loved he is -- and it's not that he wasn't aware before but knowing she even missed him at his worst#and loved him maybe even before she was pregnant -- means the cruel part of his mind can't make excuses for why she stayed with him#I also like to think that being confronted with the idea that Bulma is still scared for him getting his worst wires tripped#wouldn't be offensive to him. Knowing he's still got work to do if his wife is worried about those things happening to him again#is just proof that she loves him with his flaws and was still thinking about it and supporting his recovery when he didn't#even notice he was recovering -- which has always been true of her -- and now he has the chance to support her recovery in return#and being in a place where he can still put that work in to make her feel secure in his priorities is a privilege and a gift#and man I just really like how casually comfortably close they are in Super's manga I love them a lot they worked so hard#to make each other feel safe and secure for the past decade+ that it's Easy for them both now and they're SUCH a confident couple#and I am once again shaking the anime by the shoulders WHY didn't you give us that they are SO the team's Mom and Dad in the manga#until Goku riles Vegeta up -- then Piccolo is the team Dad. Bc Piccolo is the team Grandpa aksjda The Z-Fighter's locker room judge#dbtag#vegebul#putting the whole essay in the tags again oops#happy pride i am gay for a whole married couple

also. also. (quickly putting on my beekeepers outfit to protect from the hive that I’m potentially whacking). thinking about izzy saying “blackbeard. it was us.” izzy telling ed that he fed his darkness on purpose, that he maintained blackbeard on purpose, because he needed him. thinking about how ed begs izzy not to go, tells him he can’t leave him. (he needs him). thinking about how ed could never truly heal until he left blackbeard behind. thinking about how blackbeard is really two people, not one. thinking about how izzy tells stede in season 1, “it’s my job is to make sure that edward is content”. how it’s been his purpose from the very beginning to protect edward, to help him be blackbeard, to be his right hand man. thinking about izzy saying “I wanna go”. thinking about all the meta from season 1 about ed keeping izzy in episode four on purpose, because he still needed him. thinking about izzy telling ed that he’s ready. ed is ready. (and it’s not just ed. izzy is ready too. I want to go. ed, I’m ready. I don’t need you anymore. I don’t need blackbeard anymore. you can let go). thinking about izzy looking up, seeing ed’s face, and softly saying “there he is”. (when was the last time izzy truly saw ed and felt at peace with it? when was the last time he didn’t search for something darker underneath? how soft were there faces then? how young, how unscarred was their skin?). thinking about izzy telling stede that he thinks he’s good for ed, that it took him a long time but that he sees it now. (he trusts stede now. he trusts him to take care of his eddie. he couldn’t trust him before, couldn’t see it, but he knows now. he knows he’ll be okay with stede). thinking about izzy using his last words to tell ed that he’s loved, that he’s surrounded by family. (you’re safe now. you’ll be safe without me. you’ll be safe without blackbeard). thinking about how blackbeard has always been a form of protection, of defense - now unneeded. but blackbeard was always two people knitted together. two scrappy boys in a costume, like a prey animal fluffed up to twice it’s size. a skin that can’t be shed without splitting them both apart. stitches that can’t be undone without bleeding.
they’re both ready. they’re letting go.
“there he is.”
#this got so long I’m sorry I hope it makes any sort of sense#I just have so many feelings about them…#LIKE. ITS NOT JUST ABOUT ED BEING READY. ITS ABOUT IZZY BEING READY. THEYRE BOTH READY!!#izzy hands#ed teach#blackhands#ofmd#ofmd spoilers#BLACKBEARD. IS. TWO. PEOPLE. ONE MOVES ON. ONE IS LEFT BEHIND.#listen. listen. I know people are angry about the ending. I know people feel like izzy just got killed off for Ed’s sake#and that feels like a betrayal. I get it.#but listen. listen. he really couldn’t move on. he couldn’t move on with the other half of blackbeard lingering in his shadow.#genuinely I don’t like it much either yknow. I wouldnt have made that choice#I wish they could have told a story of mutual healing and moving on seperately instead without death#but NARRATIVELY it still makes sane and I appreciate that#besides. hasn’t the character of izzy always been about loving Ed at his core?#this is him loving. this is him doing what he feels Ed needs.#he needs to be able to let go. and izzy is letting him.#finally. he is letting him.#it’s love. it’s all about love.#it’s fucked up and twisted sure#but hasn’t that always been them?#the finale discourse#ofmd finale

god the writing in KG is just impeccable and it does NOT get the credit it deserves because i can put any two characters from the main 5 together in a pair and they'll have some interesting contrasts and points in common that they don't have with the others
#txt#dororo and kururu#dororo and giroro#dororo and tamama#were the three i was rotating in my brain#dororo n kururu: the two most left behind. arguably the smartest so they get along. one's order/calm the other chaos. both very observant.#also selfless vs selfish#dororo n giroro: ive already said but. peace vs invasion. earth vs keron. anger vs sadness. expresses emotions vs represses them. both loyal#and faithful. both dedicated to their cause. also childhood friends#additionally. the way they feel about keroro is a foil. dororo looks up to him but a tiny part of him resents him. giroro is always -#shit talking him but actually deeply respects him#dororo and tamama: similarly. they are very much foils esp about keroro. ive mentioned this previously. present tamama is like past dororo#with being rich and looking up to keroro. they're both very emotional and they both crave keroro's undivided attention#but tamama stands up for himself and is very loud and secure whereas dororo is insecure and doubts himself#ok I'll try to do more pairings (/p) mm#keroro and kururu well theyre constantly paired bc of how much they have in common. scheming and selfish. secret keron stuff.#plus keroro literally runs to him to ask for help when natsumi beats him or like IN GENERAL.#also again. keroro is supposed to come up with plans but struggles. kururu is supposed to be chaos oriented but he's always fixing messes#tamama and kururu is another fun one because one's perception is ''the sweet one'' and the other is ''the sinister one''#tamama may look dumb at times but hes actually bright. kururu is deeply intelligent but often gets lost in silliness#they both have a dark side#this is fun but theres many combinations for 5 members so im not gonna be here all day writing abt what they all have in common and contrast#but it's so fun to think abt bc the show is actually well written they all have lil tidbits that make their relationships (/p) unique#i didnt even get into keroro much bc god knows i could not stop talking there#this subject is worth making a whole post abt ... maybe one day#musing

finally watching channel zero and i immediately have so many thoughts in the first ten minutes
#random thoughts#candle cove#okay so first: the fly#obviously represents mike in some way#it was drowning in a glass which was given to him complimentary. something about struggling to feel like he belongs in his life?#like it was something given to him that he does not deserve and does not make him happy#his relationship with his wife is obviously strained. his son is mentioned so far only in relation to his career#though his mother says he's always welcome the framing in the kitchen is claustrophobic#either only one of their faces is in camera very close or they're clustered together in one half of the kitchen#his mother is a foster parent or a teacher of some kind. possibly trying to fill the void made empty#by what she views is the disappearance of both her sons#though mike said his father was out of the picture he seems shocked his mother doesn't have pictures of him around#probably not dead but has left and mike blames her somehow and views his father as blameless#when his brother disappeared mike also lost a mother. and his mother lost both her sons#their dialogue is very. distant and impersonal. no questions about each others' lives. no questions about his wife and son.#and mike seems to struggle with children despite being a child psychologist. in both times we've seen him he's been overly friendly#and strained. in the dream sequence we see him snap at the child to turn the tv off#which is more evidence to the idea mike feels he doesn't belong in his career#he may also be experiencing some kind of depersonalization of others (the mannequins behind the cameras)#possibly believing his actions to ultimately not matter because those there to witness them are not truly people#hope to see what kind of relationships he DOES form or if his sense of relationships has been completely tarnished by his brother's death#subconsciously he fears his childhood home. he possibly knows something about the disappearance of his brother#who he also talks about more as an extension of himself rather than as a seperate entity#so far no puppets. sad!#back to the framing in the kitchen. i think mike views his relationship to his mother as one which is forced#it lacks closeness but they are forced to be part of each others' lives due to the genetic bond between them#his mother fears mike is back to prod at the old wound which is the murders#it seems she's trying to cope by distancing herself and keeping her mind busy with raising children#it's notable the girl calls her miss rather than mom. more distance despite objective closeness#mike may also become jealous of the girl. he seems like he has a strange relationship with the children in his life

thinking more about this moment in closure, and how his hands are on samantha’s words, and her hand is on him.
#ya know??#he’s reaching out to hold onto anything left of his sister#she’s reaching out to be in it with him#so much of SUZ/closure is about mulder being ready to surrender the search#he’s spent his entire life tirelessly chasing after that one connection he remembers#that one person that he was just close to and loved by#and there is no closure#there is no letting that go or giving up on samantha#she’ll always be the picture on his wall and the motivation behind everything he does in his work#but he can witness the reality of what happened to her and accept that she’s not coming back#because he IS close to people and he IS loved#scully scours old files and consults experts and takes the lead and goes to talk to the nurse#and it’s because this is where it has all been heading#this is the end of the road#and yeah she loves him and wants to be sure that he’s okay#but she loves samantha too#and he’s able to be ‘ready’ in that and in the end of the road not being just him alone and aimless#it’s the two of them and skinner in the front seat and he’s ‘free’#closure#txf.txt

i do still stand by this and it's kind of upsetting me they don't hate him but they really obviously dislike him and his place in the story
#like clearly nobody knew what to do with him after cw and every appearance he has afterwards shows this#actually the lack of a role makes it even more obvious#i always feel a little dumb for saying this but it wouldn't be wrong at all to say they didn't want him near steve#and now steve is gone so we have a character with very little real development and his closest tie to the story is gone#forgot what my point was. my point is poor bucky#ok i remember. it's always upsetting to think about the way he got tossed to the curb#i wasn't in the writers room i'll never know what went down there but it feels painfully obvious#gone from the scene gone from steve's life after cw and then again after iw and then fr left behind#and now he's just one half of a duo and nobody knows how to utilize him#tf&tws is a mess and the biggest parts that stick out to me are his mischaracterization and general dumbing down#half the time he's acting idiotic and childish and when he isn't doing that he's just being a bitch!#it's unfortunate because you can see what they were trying to do but it doesn't work for him or the show itself#it's really so bad dude#bucky isn't the only character they fkd up here but i think he's the worst offense

Yet another scene that broke me.
@thethistlegirl @malewifebillcage
#jack reacher#helen rodin#jack reacher 2012#tom cruise#rosamund pike#my gifs#jack reacher gifs#my edit#this scene broke me#helen's words hit too close to home for jack#he is always one step away from being fully homeless#and he is not well versed in how society works#his face I swear#he looks like a sad puppy#like he got kicked on the curb and left to fend for himself#people can't see Jack behind what they imagine#and it hurts a lot

Oagh thinking trisona thoughts
#im still like cooking a design for him but like#ok i havent talked abt this but i f/o but vash and knives (separately) and i like to break my own heart right#its sand falling though ur fingers#and i keep thinking that like ultimately my guy is aligned with knives first and foremost (thats a key thing)#so like vashverse (thats what im calling it where he guns for vash instead of knives) its like hey check this out how tragic#could i possibly make this right#bc rosario (trisona; thats his name) will always put his loyalties to knives and the ghg before anything else#that includes vash#so every time they do come together its never set in stone when itll be the last#theyre just biding their time until the inevitable#double owie if you consider ww into the equation bc looks wise rosario and ww look eerily similar#so going off of like vashwood thats like so theres this guy that looks like ur dead bf hope that doesnt cause any problems#i think their involvement hinges on that loss being fresh too; a perfectly aligned coincidence#trying to fill a hole someone left behind with someone else#AGHHH they drive me crazy bc theyre always coming together like stars on course collision; always dancing around eachother never to fully#meet and when they do meet the mutually assured destruction of one of them is guaranteed#(listen all the ghgs DIE; rosario is no exception)#anyway go crazy go stupid its 3 am aaaa#its sand falling thru ur fingers#bird chirps.txt
