#honestly both now and in the future

@ofsavior said: “Baji-san isn’t yours. He’s Toman’s. Even if he says he’ll join Valhalla, he’s still Toman.” There’s something decisive to Chifuyu’s eyes. Maybe it’s the claim that he knows Baji better. That he can set aside a personal grudge and bias to see where Baji’s heart lies. Does Kazutora have that? Chifuyu doubts it. “You were Toman’s, too, once. You should get it.”

" He's not yours either. " Kazutora snaps, eyes narrowing at Chifuyu. This damn punk, like a little dog that won't stop yapping. " You're not Baji, you don't get to make those decisions for him. " He hops down from the wall he'd been sitting on and walks closer. " He's joined Valhalla. He's ours. He's already shown he'll beat the shit out of you. Everyone else will be even easier. " He stops a foot away from Chifuyu, gold eyes narrowing when he stares at the blonde.

" Besides. He promised he'd always be with me. " Even when the police had arrested them, it had been Kazutora who claimed he forced Baji into it. That he'd threatened Baji into the situation, anything to make sure Baji wouldn't end up behind bars with him. It hadn't been Baji abandoning him, it'd been the tiger choosing to take the fall for them both. He'll choose me. Even if it meant walking hand in hand to hell, that's what he'd promised. And Baji NEVER broke a promise to Kazutora. It's why Kazutora could really trust him. He'll always choose him over anyone else. " Baji is Baji. His choice is his. But he'll never abandon me. " He's almost entirely confident of that. Almost.

Up to the final lines, Kazutora had been remarkably calm all things considered. Irritated, challenging, but not violent. But the moment Chifuyu mentions Kazutora's history with Toman, his expression turns dark. He's swinging before he even really thinks about, punching Chifuyu straight in the jaw. His hands grab a fistful of Chifuyu's jacket to make sure he can't escape the tiger's claws, and promptly chooses to slam him into the wall behind them.

" Don't you fucking DARE speak to ME about Toman. " He snarls, veins around his eyes straining with the rage that suddenly has been let loose, like a snapped chain on a wild animal. " That's dead and over with, got it? " He slams Chifuyu against the wall agan ; the only mercy he has is Kazutora can't decide quite HOW he wants to hurt the other yet. " Toman is NOTHING to me. Absolutely nothing. It just pisses me off. I don't want to hear about it. I don't want to see those stupid uniforms. I burned mine the night I got out of Juvie, after Keisuke went home. It means nothing! Got it? Nothing. " He chokes on the rage, deciding to throw Chifuyu down into the dirt. His rage strains against his bones. " Get what? I don't know what bullshit you're talking about. " Kazutora scoffs, staring down at Chifuyu with a glare.

I know everyone is reading into the characterisation brought by the masks in Glass Onion, but I love how these clues rely entirely on the audiences shared experiences and connotations made from living during covid. It makes the film so personal, I think.

He thought he had you playing his game, but you were three steps ahead of him the whole time.

That's my girl!

Don't forget the reason the U.S. is supporting Israel's genocide of Palestine - hell, 90% of the reason they ever get involved into something in the Middle East is for ulterior purposes regarding oil.

That and the Ben Gurion Canal project, which you can learn more about:

Also I quit my job of what would in about a month or two have been 10 years, and perhaps now I will get to actually be a human being again.

you ever just. become overwhelmed by a sudden out-of-nowhere wave of tenderness and affection and longing for reconnection directed towards someone to whom you no longer speak for Very Good Reasons

I just wanted to apologize to my classic whotuals for all the dead boy detectives spamming, but it's also important to me that you guys know two things:

a) I've become aware that a lot of what appeals to me about dead boy detectives is, on a kind of conceptual/thematic level, the same stuff that I love about my favorite eras of dr who, and 6b in particular

And I tell you this not as an advertising tactic but as a genuine PSA for anyone following me because:

b) Being me & having realized this, I know I'm definitely gonna wind up posting some unnecessarily long-winded analysis/comparison, pop it in the main tags for the sake of organization on my own blog, and subsequently confuse a hell of a lot of people there who either have no idea what I'm talking about or simply don't view either piece of media in the same light as I do to begin with

So I just wanted to reassure everyone that at least you're not suffering alone, as I will soon be inflicting the reverse bait-and-switch upon others!

That's all! continue w ur scrolling <3

Every year, I tell myself that I should really consider taking off work for Father Brown premiere day, and then it comes around and I forget to do it, and I spend all day thinking about how I would so much rather be sitting cozy under a million blankets and going back to Kembleford than being forced to do boring work things.

More random head children musings (aside from the really sad one because that deserves better than a throwaway post):

Honestly I think it’s very fortunate that Dism’s team isn’t *entirely* comprised of lucid dreamers.

[fettery-fetterie]

I'm just kinda thinking over what could it been had things gone just. Just every so slightly better

Had some fundamentals been challenged further

Had the right words be spoken

Had they didn't go all in

It's just so sad, because I ultimately do see them working on the right scenarios, but they're all just...fantasy, a fleeting dream, the unreachable

Oughhhh I love them so much. They're so doomed

Welp, finally finished BG3 for the first time in three playthroughs 😅 everything I read was right: I'm not satisfied with the ending at all! 🙃 Even the "good" ending is bittersweet and I'm not for it.

Time to replay from the beginning and mentally rewrite the ending~

"She's the only one who'll hire me," Randall shrugged, almost defeatedly; having put up with Minnie and her haranguing for so long, he'd long since moved past being outraged by it and was more resigned to it than anything. "She may bite my head off at every opportunity, but she knows I won't complain because no one else will hire me. She's unpleasant, but at least she pays me."

Funnily enough (in a bittersweet sort of way), Minnie knew what it was like to be on the receiving end of an unwarranted chewing out; having worked her way up the proverbial ladder years prior, she too was often yelled at by her old boss, the previous owner of the haberdashery, a rude and dismissive man who seemed to hate everyone equally, if that was some consolation. After the old man had a heart attack, Minnie bought the place from his widow and took over it completely-honestly, Randall would've thought her experiences under such a harsh boss would soften her up once she made it to the top, but no; she was just as mean as he was.

"Well, at least I won't be working for her for too long," he continued, flashing an impish little smile to Emily, while Dorian was still eyeing the door, still trying to hold his tongue, as Randall continued, "I look forward to leaving her a nice, nasty little resignation letter before we go-I'll be sure to tell her she was a miserable boss, and I hope she has a miserable time finding someone to replace me!"

ANYWAY now that ive gotten my firefly rant off my chest and on a more positive note about the story overall; i Really liked it!!!! and character-wise specifically the biggest surprise for me in a huge W way was actually acheron??

& given i was actually somewhat committed to pulling her anyway (well. initially as kafka replacement to pull my first lightning carry after losing 50-50 but. Well. she had mercy on me at the v last moment thank goodness 😭😭) so actually ending up liking her character this much just cemented that resolve for good too. cant wait for her!!! like i am still meh on her base design not bc its that bad by itself but simply bc seeles existence just cheapens it so much like. Why are they so similar. but its not bad lmao

anyway to her actual characterization. first of all. the VAs delivery omg yall beidous english voice is already one of my all time favorites in genshin and shes doing an amazing job as acheron like. she started talking and im just INSTANTLY warmed up to her just from that KDJSKDKJK i love love love her attitude and energy!!!!!

n personality wise too??? like ive seen others mention a similar sentiment but its just the way how. even after getting the warnings from now Two separate characters that shes up to no good. im just like. "nah id win" abt it SHSKDKSI like throughout the story she comes off as so damn likeable and grounded and realistically friendly (as in not like. too open n aligned w the player from the get-go to feel believable for the character as opposed to a plot contrivance) that i just. even if shes bad news im team acheron truly.

she has genuinely funny one liners too ??? like not necessarily jokes outright but the kinda comments she says are just . very realistic in that dry witty way that comes off as natural and entertaining shes so charming!!! i love her. the more contemplative stuff she says too

but also like. girl whats up w the ominous red text ily but are we cool 😭😭 and the whole shredding us into thin slices on first encounter in the dreamscape like. Ok uhhhhhhhh ik i said nah id win and team acheron forever but this is kinda. worrisome

BUT that just means im so fucking excited to see her go apeshit too lmao like. oh shes an emanator here to do murder and spread death? COOL i hope she has fun!!

(and ik i said firefly rant over but. what the actual hell is that post firefly merk dialogue option where the games like very heavy handedly implying ur supposed to be blaming ACHERON for "letting it happen" in some emotional frenzy???? bro what 💀💀 0/5 moment i would never. n even if she plausibly did im just. dude her being cold towards firefly is just a plus for me when the narrative has just railroaded the TB into being sooo charmed by her magical presence lmao i Liked that acheron was suspicious n cold)

overall Definitely wasnt expecting acheron to establish herself as such an instant favorite for sure but. shes here now and im v happy abt it im super looking forward to seeing those more dubious goals of her come to the forefront in the future like. im so curious about whats up w her and her memory and that red text and everything

Tumblr is such a weird place. I love how accepting people here are in general. But there are also a handful of odd/untrue/harmful takes that I see here over and over and feel personally painful to me every time I read them. And I'm getting really sick of it.
