I love the fact in haikyuu, some characters that are seen as extremely good players, do not end up playing professionally as adults.
It’s realistic! Especially because we can see some of them playing for fun with their friends, showing that they still enjoy the sport.

I’m now very curious what your opinions on kagehina are after seeing your tags under that fanon post 👀
no strong opinions really, just not the most popular opinion from what I've seen. I fully understand the ship, but based on the source material alone I don't see their relationship that way at all, and I think it's much more interesting as it's presented in the show vs through a romantic lens. After watching through the whole show these last couple months, I think all of haikyuu is more interesting actually when you don't ship the characters, but also it's a male dominated shonen with an ensemble cast and it's very easy to ship almost any two characters together so I understand why it's so popular to do so.
All that said, I do ship Hinata and Kenma a lil bit. what can you do, I think they're neat. I also like them a lot as a friendship too. I'm not really picky, because I love the source material as is and the source material is by and large not romantic, therefore almost all of the dynamics are built on a sports foundation, which as a sports girly, I really love.
But yeah I just think kagehina is much more interesting as a complex teammate/duo relationship where they're both each other's biggest rival and most important collaborator. They're linked on the court because of what they can do with each other that no one else can do, but sort of reluctantly close friends off the court. I also think their roles in the story are very interesting, I like the way they complement and mirror each other, the way they support and challenge each other, and I just think they have a really fun and fascinating dynamic as presented in canon. I think putting them into a romantic context kind of flattens all that and also tends to severely mischaracterize them and their dynamic.
In short they're just much more interesting to me as teammates than they are as love interests.
#hq#haikyuu#a note on the romance comment#there is a bunch of compulsory heterosexual romance in the story#shoved into the tiny little cracks where they're not playing volleyball#which i don't have a problem with on their own#but I'd rather the show either have no romance because it doesn't really add anything#or some queer rep because if you're going to have romance then only het romance feels very targeted#but like what am i surprised i don't live under a rock i know how it is#but i just wanted to note that since i said the show isn't very concerned with romance#HOWEVER#i do think it's notable that neither of kagehina are shoved into a het pairing in the show#idk about the manga and the time jump#and with their very close relationship on the court#i think it's very easy to interpret that as an allegory for a queer relationship#and i think it maps very easily into a romantic context#i just personally love sports so i like the exploration of a complex teammate relationship#I think that's the other thing is most of y'all nerds primary motivation in watching this show is not sports for sports sake lmao#which is actually my favorite thing about it#so the fandom typical activities around a show like this fall to the back burner for me#that's all! thanks for coming to my ted talk or whatever#hmbomt#a-rdentlyy

It has been almost two weeks since I emailed @staff and no one has responded!! This is fucking shameful and pathetic. I can barely use this account as is. You'd think they would care about the functionality of their site but apparently not!
To my followers, if this blog never updates again, it is because the staff are too stupid to run their goddamn website!
Idk man. I don't have any alternatives set up but I'm fucking done with this hellhole! If anyone has any suggestions for fandom community alternatives (specifically tolkien/rop), I'd be glad to hear them. I just want a website that works and a few friends tbh

Yo! Can I ask for Cypher, Gekko, and Sova x reader who loves affection? As in, they love head pats, and when they get hugs they will just snuggle and melt? The gender of the reader doesn't matter. Thanks! 😊
Affection!
(Cypher, Gekko, Sova)
masterlist
Cypher :
Cypher wasn’t used to getting such affection before you. And now he doesn’t want to ever live without it.
He will constantly try and convince you to come sit in his office so he can snuggle with you as he ‘researches’.
He loves nuzzling into your neck and feeling your hands pat around his face as he feigns his attention to his computer.
He even makes not so subtle nudges when you try to stop. If you tease him he will eventually ask why you quit.
“Where do you think you are going, little bug?” Cypher’s voice rang out as you squirmed in his lap. Your arms wrapped back around his neck as you looked up.
“Nowhere, just getting more comfy.” You smiled as your hands worked at his taut muscles. A soft sigh left his mouth as he relaxed against his work chair. Cyphers head leaned down to rest in the crook of your neck as he continued to type away at his computer.
After a bit you laid your hands to rest as he got more into his work. Within seconds of you taking a break you heard the nerd grunt and peer back at you. You raise an eyebrow and continue to rest against him. He nudges your hand lightly with an awkward cough. You could only laugh at his subtle attempt to ask for more.
“Is that better?” You coo as your hands work around his mask, fingers pressing against the soft flesh of his face.
“Much better.”
Gekko :
He LOVES attention and physical affection. I mean look at how he treats his little pals! You know he has such a loving soul.
He’s always wanting to be next to you, holding your hand, or even in your arms. He will pout if he is not.
Refuses to sleep without you and on nights you’re away on missions and calls so he can at least hear your voice. He makes sure to let you know it’s nothing compared to cuddling. And that you owe him double.
He absolutely melts when you baby him as well. Pinching at his cheeks and rubbing at his head are a major weakness. But he makes you swear not to tell anyone else.
“Babe I’m right here.” Gekko pouted as he watched you pat wingman. Your grin grew as you noticed his ever-growing jealousy.
“Does Wingman not deserve love?” You tease out as you turn over to your boyfriend. His eyes widened for a moment before his lips turned down.
“That’s not what I meant.. Wingman deserves the best. But I do too, babe.” Gekko tries to nudge his way in between the gooey pet and you. You only laugh and Wingman makes a noise as you welcome him into the family hug.
“You’re so needy. Isnt he, Wingman?” You voice and the slime only makes an agreeing sound. Gekko gasps as he smacks at your arm lightly.
“It’s not needy if I am your boyfriend! It’s the tax for being mine! And not cool Wingman! You’re supposed to be backing me up!”
Sova :
Sova loves affection. It helps make him feel grounded and helps him know you’re not leaving.
He completely relaxes and melts in your arms when you hug him from behind. He loves being cradled. Not that he would fully admit it out loud.
He also loves when you play with his hair. He turns into a little golden retriever if you scratch at his head. He can’t help it, it just feels too good!
He loves giving it back as well. He always makes sure to give you reassuring squeezes and some back scratches here and there.
You smiled as you walked into the main hall of HQ. You had just got back from a meeting when you saw Sova standing near the table patching up his drone. Taking the opportunity to strike, your arms wrapped around his torso. A soft gasp left his lips as he looked over at you and tossed his arm around you.
“Dove, you are back early. This is a lovely surprise.” His smile was infectious as his hand rubbed away at your shoulder. You only squeezed tighter against him as you nuzzled into his side.
“Let me finish fixing the drone and then we can go rest. Does that sound good?” Sova questioned and you could only nod. You would never give up a chance to hold your sweet boyfriend in your arms.

TO PUT AWAY A SWORD
David Blandy + Daniel Locke's post-apocalyptic hopepunk TTRPG ECO MOFOS is back from the printers. Meaning it will soon be in our hands.
Am fairly hyped for it, because I wrote an adventure!
To Put Away A Sword is about the woes of building a home on poisoned earth. The terrible powers that hurtled us to the end of the world continue to bear bitter fruit in your garden.
You are villagers living under the shadow of a fallen giant mecha. Its reactors and warheads leak into your groundwater, poison your goats. What will you do about it? What can you do?
+
Mechanically it is a pointcrawl around your local valley. Not super complex, design-wise; but I was pleased with my gimmick solution for mapping both the adventure's dungeons:
Grab a mecha figure, pose it, place it on the game table; each part of the figure corresponds to a location in the dungeon key. Solves for stuff like relative orientation.
Easy!
+
To Put Away A Sword is me making a mecha adventure.
Disclaimer: I am not a mecha nerd. I am unfamiliar with most of the genre. Anything I know about Gundam I've absorbed by osmosis.
I was mainly into giant robots in childhood. Receiving a Macross figure for my birthday. Pouring over the manual for The Crescent Hawks' Revenge, which my brother left behind:
While I was not much a fan of mecha, I was very much a fan of Evangelion. I spent my middle teens obsessed with it. The biomechanical, pseudo-mystical stuff; the teen angst. I wanted to be Shinji. I thought trauma was so cool.
So cringe. Anyway:
One of the inspirations for To Put Away A Sword is the survivors-rebuilding-a-town-and-planting-rice sequence in Thrice Upon A Time; probably my favourite part of the whole franchise, now.
The joy and difficulties of trying to build your paradise in the weird ruins of the old world:
Yeah, the adventure has a lot of Evangelion in it. There's a Nerv HQ analogue to explore. There's a content warning for child soldiers.
+
The other inspiration for To Put Away A Sword is this piece of box art, an accessory set for Macross's iconic Stonewell Bellcom VF-1 Variable Fighter:
I don't know what this kind of arrange-your-missiles-in-front-of-your-fighter-jet photo is technically called. Hardware porn parade?
You see it often enough. Here's a real-life photo of the Lockheed Martin F35 Joint Strike Fighter:
Fairly or not, in my head I associate mecha with seeing copies of Jane's Defence in airport magazine racks. The genre feels like such a natural way to riff on the hyper-charged corpo-military-industrial complex.
After the brush war ends, and the natural resources extracted, and the ethnic cleansing concluded, and the profits announced, who gets to clean up after a Raytheon missile?
In To Put Away A Sword---you do.
+
Ultimately, as always, I am writing and designing from my lived experiences.
See that? The gas flare from the Hengyuan Refining Company? It is about 200 metres from my living room.
That gas flare surfaces constantly in the stuff I make. As I write this post I am breathing its acrid chemical smell. My nose itches. I was asthmatic as a child; I seriously worry about cancer, nowadays.
At night it lights up the sky like Barad-dur.
The plant obviously and continuously flaunts regulations. We've tried lodging complaints: with its corporate management; with the Department of Environment. Nothing has worked so far.
"A home on poisoned earth" is a visceral fact of my life.
+
To Put Away A Sword is wish-fulfilment, I guess? In the world of the adventure, at least, the forces that are poisoning your home are post-peak oil.
It is nice to imagine a reality where a kind of survival and flourishing is still possible. My partner Sharon and I talk a lot about imagining hope.
Last month she bought this small mecha-looking thing. A wireless camera! She built a little hut for it on our garden wall. It is trained, 24-7, at the gas flare.
Environmental activists we've met say video evidence of emissions is important. We'll see. We imagine it helping.
+
Anyway. David just sent me this photo of my adventure, in print:
Looking good. I hope folks play it and enjoy it.
Preorder ECO MOFOS and its adventure bundle >>>HERE<<<

viper can cook pretty well but lives off those mexican & chinese take outs when she's not in hq and sage is very very concerned about it
skye found out abt some of those secret couples before brim removed the no fraternization rule only because she wakes up at 4 am for her morning runs and those idiots CONVENIENTLY always sneak out at that time ijbol
harbor is a wife material. could be a grown ass man with powers but he is also a babygirl AND wife material
younger agents once tried to convince omen that he's actually an octopus and viper did not find it funny
deadlock and breach have their own scheduled movie nights but those fuckers only watch slasher and horror movies (inspired by a fanart but i cant find it 😭)
neon and jett occasionally steal phoenix and yoru's jackets for shit and giggles
reyna visits her sister after every mission
phoenix has no alcohol tolerance and thats how jett and yoru managed to make a whole FOLDER full of his drunk shenanigans
kj bought raze a matching beanie for her birthday and she keeps it in her room so it doesnt get accidentally destroyed by her explosives
brim has really fucked up old man knees
phoenix and yoru will exchange ‘your mom’ jokes when when they're too tired to continue their usual banter after rough missions
sova unintentionally does thee the dad clap and its loud as fuck he could literally wake up a dying man with that
kay/o and omen occasionally try to act like humans and its hilarious
u can find astra in the kitchen at midnight because my girl is a nightowl and cooks when she's bored
jett can watch any kind of horror & sci-fi movies without flinching but NOT zombies. she came across a freaky clip of the walking dead when she was a kid once and is still traumatized
gekko is a comic nerd, no i will not elaborate

The origins of Sibling Nephtys: Etymology
Will this be a series? Perhaps, we (Warden HQ) don't know.
As many of you know (or didn't know), my Ministry/Clergy original character is a fun, nerdy librarian by the name of Sibling Nephtys. But how did we get here? What does Nephtys mean? Why did I choose that name? Did Nephtys choose their own name? And why?
To which I say, let's find out!
In a more elaborate way than my ghulah and ifrit posts are, this is a breakdown of etymology, with regards to mythology and history.
How Did We Get Here?
The processes of actually naming my Sibling of Sin was actually quite frustrating. I am a person who enjoys etymology and language. I wanted a name that honored both my Sibling's Egyptian heritage, while retaining a Gothic feel to it. Obviously, there is no actual contradiction with having both of those - but it felt hard, when a lot of the ideas of Goth-ness were associated with historically white and European things. Even though names like Isis or Seth (Set) or even Anubis were sorta in that sphere. I wanted to handpick something. It also had to be a name that, in character, Nephtys would name himself! So I made a list of potential names that were culturally relevant and fit the themes I wanted.
The candidates were:
Samara
From the Arabic root SMR, meaning a good companion. Similar names included Samir or Samira. Initially chosen as it was a pretty name I liked. It was axed because the name meaning didn't super fit what I was going for.
Lamia
Derived from Arabic, lamea, shining. As well as the Libyan queen in Libyan-Greek mythology who was turned into a monster (many such cases). Initially chosen because of the mythological connections and geographical placement. It was axed because of the vibes, truly. It is still a very good name, I think it'd be great for a name of a Sibling of Sin.
Badriyah
Meaning 'of the full moon' in Arabic, coming from badr which is the fill moon with an added iyah suffix. Initially chosen because of, well, the moon and the night. It was axed for the fact that it didn't feel the way I wanted it to when I said Sibling Badriyah.
Qadira
Feminine version of qadir, meaning 'to be capable of' in Arabic. Initially chosen because it conveys power and authority. It was axed because I didn't like it as much as my final choice. It is actually really good as well.
Aken
A fairly unknown Egyptian god that is mentioned to be the ferryman of souls, though less than the following option, which is Kherty/Cherti. Initially chosen because of the association with the afterlife. The name was axed because I thought I could make a better OC for this name.
Cherti
An Egyptian god of the Duat, who guided and protected souls to safety on their journey to the afterlife. Initially chosen because of the association with the afterlife. It was axed because of pure mouthfeel and dissatisfaction with pronunciation on my end.
Chons
A variant on the name of the Egyptian god, Khonsu. The god of travellers, the moon, and healing. Initially chosen because again, the moon and the night. It was axed because I might use it for another character and the pronunciation.
Satis
An Egyptian goddess of fertility and war and associated with Sothis - the star beneath Sirius. Initially chosen because of the nocturnal and empyrean aspects. It was axed because I preferred the final choice over it. Still a good contender.
Lilah
From the Arabic lailah, meaning night. Initially chosen for the meaning. It was axed because I know too many Layla's in my life. Very pretty name, not for my main OC, though.
Nephtys
A derivative of Nephthys/Nebethwt, the Egyptian goddess of mourning, night, and magic. Chosen because it contained all the themes I wanted to convey with the name of my OC. Also very plausible that some very passionate nerd would pick it out from a list. Aka me, aka Nephtys. THE WINNER!
But, Warden, why Nephtys, really?
I found out I wanted a name that was associated with the Egyptian pantheon. Not only because my Sibling of Sin is a history, theology, mythology and anthropology enthusiast - but I wanted something pre-Abrahamic. It's a little funny to think about, however, within the Egyptian pantheon there is no true evil, maybe once or twice, but the darker aspects of the mythology were always essential to life. A guide like Aken and Kherti or a god of funerary rites like Anubis and Osiris, the god of the underworld, even Tawaret or Hathor - all part of life and death and what came after. If I had all these options from the Osirian gods, why did I choose Nephtys?
Let's talk about it.
Mythological Background
The name Nephtys is derived from the Egyptian goddess Nephthys, the Latin/Greek version of the name Nebethwt. I will be referring to her as Nebethwt for easier distinction between her and Nephtys (my oc) in this post. Nebethwt, the goddess, was the child of Geb (earth) and Nut (sky). She was associated with mourning, death, (temple) service, as well as magic, protection, childbirth, and embalming. Nebethwt was also referred to as Isis's mirror-twin - the darkness to Isis's light.
This is a depiction of Isis/Eset (left) and Nebethwt (right) with the Djed pillar - which symbolized Osiris's (god of the Underworld) strength and stability.
Nebethwt (nbt-hwt) translates to Lady (nbt) of the enclosure(hwt), to mean Lady of the House, or Mistress of the House - alluding to her protective aspects. Her headdress indicates that as well, as it is a symbol of the house. This protection also extended to the dead.
It also should be noted that Nebethwt was cited as Set/Sutekh's consort. Set being the god of desert storms, chaos, and war. A figure of strife, a god who attempted to usurp his brother's(Osiris) throne. Nebethwt both aided in his endeavour but also eventually helped Isis in bringing Osiris to victory.
Other associations with Nebethwt were: hawks, sycamore trees, temples, the setting sun, twilight, darkness.
So, she was very much associated with death and mourning and the night and all those fun Gothic concepts that we enjoy here. Nebethwt was a goddess that was revered and worshipped all throughout Egypt - she was popular and beloved, not unlike her sister. Together they were quote the duo, they represented such major concepts in the Egyptian pantheon. It is sometimes debated if she was truly separate from her twin sister or if they sometimes become one at times. Regardless, she is the darker aspects of Isis, but just as divine (which is similar to the playlist title I have for Nephtys).
The Final Choice
After considering all of that and reading through pages of articles and niche blog-posts, I decided on the name Nephtys. It was not the original spelling Nebethwt and not the Graeco-Latin Nephthys, and not even the Old Coptic Nepht'ho (which I did consider for a little bit, but ultimately didn't choose). I personally found that my Sibling of Sin would choose this version of the goddesses name, which is a phonetic iteration and tack on an alliterative surname - Nuit. Nuit just means night in French. It felt like the perfect name for a sixteen year old who's aching to find a new identity and comfort while still embracing their heritage.
Besides, the title Lady of the House, it made me think a lot. She was a protective figure and a powerful one, beloved and embraced by her followers. She was a protector of people, of spirits, of temples. A comfort to be found in mourning and in death. Narratively, I thought about Nephtys and what he was like and his own relationships with others and what ideas he embodies. The things he would go through. Reaching out towards something many people shy away from and staying there, soaking in it, becoming part of it. It just fits, I think.
There's something really good about finding comfort in culture, in finding all that history of language and meaning.
Sibling Nephtys definitely did.

Swearing. Mentions of spiked drink & frat party. **This might end up being a Koroku Basketball character. Watching that anime now.** I guess this could apply to Osamu from HQ or Bakugo from MHA.
You followed the rules, all of them, and never gave into temptation. So, how did you end up in some guy's bed with a large t-shirt, your bra and panties on?
You slowly slipped out of the bed, assuming you were at a frat house. You remembered going to a party with your cousin and losing her in the crowd. That nice guy from your business class had brought you a drink.
Oh, damn. Had he spiked it? Why couldn't you remember anything. Before you could start crying from your panic attack, you located your clothes. Dressing quickly and realizing your clothes had dried vomit on them, you resumed your panicking. Luckily, your denim jacket had your house keys still in the pocket.
Quietly, you exited the room into a hall. As you suspected, it was a frat house. Half-naked bodies lay on the floor, empty solo cups littered everywhere.
Once outside, you could breathe again and started towards your off-campus apartment. After a shower and a coffee, you pulled on your favorite sweats and t-shirt. Settling on your couch you were startled by your phone buzzing.
Unknown: YW.
Y/N: Who is this?
Unknown: the guy that saved ur ass.
Y/N: Saved me?
Unknown: that nerd spiked ur drink. again YW
Y/N: Who is this?
Unknown: not giving my name til I get a thx.
Y/N: How do I know you didn't try anything?
You regretted that as soon as you sent it. There was no evidence anyone had touched you inappropriately. And whoever changed you left your bra and panties in place. There hadn't been a guy in the bed with you. So, why did you insult a stranger?
Unknown: wow. u r a bitch. Didn't believe til now.
Y/N: I'm sorry. That was extremely rude.
Unknown: yeah. least I know not 2 bother wu nemore
Y/N: I am sorry. And thank you. Truly.
Unknown: watever. stay away from parties if u can't follow simple rules. never take a drink from sum1 u don't know.
Y/N: Who are you to lecture me?!
Unknown: the fuckin guy that stayed outside his own room by the door makin sur no1 messedd with ya. u walked right past me.
You just stared at the message, your mind racing as you tried to remember anyone you saw on your way out this morning. It was a blank.
Fuck it. You didn't need to know who saved you because you were never going to a party again.

My first attempt at Fanfic for the Fallen Hero universe. I am a science nerd in healthcare, so I'd like to try the first Dr. Halabi note as a SOAP (physician) note at Dr. Mortum's facility for my Sidestep (Arya).
Arya, as Retribution, is an anarchist set on justice and has been revealed to the Rangers, but Sky-Raider got her out before any of the Rangers could make a move.
__________________________
Note: These records are for internal use ONLY. Disclosure of these forms will be met with swift recourse.

HPI:
Arya Skovsgaard is a 30 y.o. AFAB transferred to Site 01 two days following a motor vehicle accident. Per LDPD reports, the patient was restrained, and airbags were deployed. The patient appeared to be driving down the opposite lane on a two-lane highway and struck an oncoming truck. The larger truck was undamaged, but the vehicle the patient was driving was no longer operable. The patient is a known telepath (T12345678), Alpha level. She is known to be capable of operating other individuals through telepathy. The patient was transferred from the care of the Los Diabolos’ Rangers prior to arrival at Site 01. Previous to this, they were at Memorial Hospital under the care of another, unknown physician, wherein lower extremity injuries were treated. The patient chart was consulted prior to transfer. During their stay at this facility, the patient was discharged to inpatient care with a bilateral tibial fracture along the mid-diaphyseal line and a right femoral fracture at the mid-epiphyseal line. Lastly, physicians at the Ranger facility note left SI joint disjunction. It is not known if the accident was intentional, but the Ranger discharge notes allude to this as a possibility. For this reason, the patient will be under constant security detail.

Can't remember if you've been asked this before so sorry if you have, but what are your favourite con panels that you've watched? (like as a whole or for particular moments).
initial clarification that i don't really have preferences for supernatural panels minus that they have jared and/or jensen in it at some point and because to the extent that i am able to experience a con through recordings, this isn't a production of any kind, there aren't any controlled aspects that i am able to criticise or look at specifically and these are just some guys hanging out that i. observe. like i don't have a '''favourite''' memory of hanging out with my friends it's all just fun, yk?
okay to keep this list as short as possible i just scrolled through my two supernatural playlists and just picked at whatever thumbnails stood out to me (they wouldn't have stood out if i didn't particularly enjoy myself watching them) then went through my #jaytwo tag and added based on the same metric of enjoyment/moments that mean a lot to me
jared's eyecon 2008 panel
vancouver '11, main (i tend to really like their vancon panels)
nerd hq '11 & '12 of course
vancouver '13, gold
vancouver '14, main
minnesota '18, both
nashville '19, main
j2 jib8
nashville '17, main
nashville '16, main
j2 virtual '21
this also made me realise 1) just how many panels they've done (recently watched one from 2018 that was their 100th con, which meant there were approx 200+ panels that included jared, jensen or both of them), 2) how little i've actually watched—i became a j2 fan in early october 2024 and i didn't start watching cons regularly till mid-october, and even then i've maybe watched only approx 70 or so, 3) how many earlier con recordings were just never made/are just little clips of the panel because there was no concrete ritual around con-going on for the fandom until maybe season six OR the amount of pre-2013 con recordings have just straight up been lost because of the degradation of youtube and other fandom sites, and 4) i need to organise these playlists before i go crazy
#not sure why i rambled so much#i opened too many youtube tabs that firefox froze my whole computer#and i had to kill it entirely then built this list through the 'restore tabs' function#i also need to watch more jib panels but they're so short 😭 they're usually really fun but they make me sad cause of how short they r#same goes for gold panels#quaerit

BEE 11 TIMES!! holy moly do you mind me asking wht drew you back so many times? or was it different each time? /gen!
I myself love rewatching movies but it's usually over years (the amount of times I've watched princess mononoke is surely past the 60s atp)
bitti!!! i wondered if anyone was gonna comment on how much i saw it ksldjflsjdf but yes 11 times!
tbh i saw all of the lotr trilogy multiple times in theaters! i grew up reading the books with both my parents but especially my mom. who was a complete nerd for them—like learned elvish in high school style nerd. and she really loved the movies as well, so it became a bit of a Thing for us to do together!
honestly the movies are just so beautiful in so many aspects and that is often what drew me back to them. return of the king i think i saw so many times because i knew it was the last time i'd get to experience a lotr movie in theaters. the end of an era, so to speak.
i am a chronic rewatcher in general (movies and shows—i literally just rewatched all seasons of hq! for the second? third? time this year alone and it's not unusual for me to rewatch the same movie back to back, esp if it's a like 48 hour rental or something) but lotr just really got to me. they all have a very special place in my heart!
princess mononoke is such a fantastic rewatch tho, it totally makes sense to me that you've seen it so much!!! you have great taste!!
#🪴.ask#bitti tag#a lot of the time they're on background and i'm not fully paying attenion#i like the noise#and sometimes rewatch movies specifically for their sound effects#(godzilla king of the monsters' monster noises scratch an itch in my brain and i've watched it so many times)
