The most dangerous duel of all.

Many of us saw the Raimi trilogy as kids and so the main characters were just put in the mental category of "adults," but growing up and realizing Peter, Harry and MJ were all in their late teens/early 20s gives their behavior a lot of much needed context, actually.

Oh, they're indecisive and riddled with insecurity? Their love lives are a complete mess? They think one mistake or setback means their life is over? Well, no wonder! They haven't even beat the 25 allegations yet.

rereading whole cake and I love how sanji's like I went against you and fought you so I can't come back to you cause that's obviously him remembering what happened with usopp back in water seven but also it means that he totally forgot all it took for usopp to be allowed back was for him to apologize and say he wanted back in and that's just. typical mugiwara behaviour. to remember how seriously they have to take luffy as a captain but forget just how easily luffy forgives them anyway. to remember they have to respect him but forget that he loves them first and foremost

[manaosdeuwu]

it's really incredible how they were able to keep so much stuff and emotion from the anime in the live action even if they made a lot of changes to fit it in the Netflix 8 Episodes formula

finally gave in to the wild urge to replay Octo2, and replaying with The Knowledge™ is so fun actually, Castti's Ch1 has an entirely different feel to it now that I'm paying attention to...stuff and things

(I started w/ Ochette, bc I love her and she's the best, but this time I chose Akala bc I chose Mahina last time, and I really love Akala a lot already but I know I will be Suffering later)

At the start of this year I was struggling to find a Doc Hudson figure for my cars collection and now, thanks to my dad, I have a sort of shrine developing for him 😅😂😅😂

[always-a-joyful-note]

So just days before the Shiguang Dailiren/Link Click season 2 premier, I caved into pressure and managed to watch and finish all of s1.

First of all. Pain.

Secondly, I have Theories that I must get out before s2 comes out as a measure of coping and possible deluding myself. There will be big spoilers so I'm just gonna put it under a cut.

So far, I have three-ish theories that could possibly be canon-compliant. But note that I have only watched s1 once and in the sub (which, had some odd subtitles, I won't lie, but I don't know any Chinese so that'll have to make do) and might have missed something key.

Anyway, my most hopeful theory among these three that says a happy ending is possible is the theory that these events happened when someone messed with the nodes of time. Specifically when Cheng Xiaoshi caused Emma's death and then tried to save her. By that I mean that Emma was not supposed to die, not at that point in time, anyway, and that perhaps the possessor manifested when he once again tried to change the node of her death. It doesn't have to be that the possessor was created upon that attempt to reverse her death either, just all the events following Emma's death were not meant to be. By inadvertently leading Emma to her doom, Cheng Xiaoshi changed a node of time, so the only thing that could fix it would be if he goes back again to that time period somehow and stops Emma from responding to those texts from her mum. If he manages to fix the initial change that caused all those murders (and Lu Guang's demise *cue me weeping*), then it could be that the possessor either never existed (where were they before these happenings, anyway?) or that at least everything doesn't explode so tragically.

Buuuuut, as much as I want that to happen...we did in a sense see Cheng Xiaoshi take the "let's try and stop Emma's death" route, and I think they just might take the Lu Guang dies permanently path, which is my second theory-ish which ties into the third.

In s1, Cheng Xiaoshi was blind to the death he caused and almost succeeded in saving Emma...and failed. So if s2 follows that pattern, he'll either almost succeed in saving one of his best friends and then fail right at the end (maybe it will be bittersweet where Lu Guang tells him to let go, that it's all right, and at least the narrative will let the boy have a say in his death). OR that, because he's coming in with eyes wide open (to the deaths he caused, to the possessor's existence, to the real consequences of messing with the time stream), he'll almost fail and then succeed saving Lu Guang in the 11th hour.

That said, manifesting a happy ending for our trio because haven't they been through enough??

[musculargarbageman]

both of you are fucking idiots, get the fuck off this wholesome transition comic post.

anyway, since you both love anecdotal evidence, I'm more than 5 years on testosterone and no, the "honeymoon phase" (???) isn't over, I am NOT bald bc I have genes that prevent that, and gay men love my soft moobs and wet pussy. get out of here with this shit and stop pushing panic about testosterone through misinformation.

[catboywizard]

can’t decide what to readdd

please send me suggestions

[pa-pa-plasma]

wait so you're telling me this whole time i could've just said "stop being racist" & racism (at least among white people) would instantly disappear? why didn't i think of this sooner

[mini-godzilla]

A mxtx crossover event where all the red-black characters had to fight, I believe, would result in a very interesting rock paper scissors scenario.

Wei Wuxian, being the Ghost Whisperer, could probably beat, or at the very least subdue Hua Cheng. We know Hua Cheng is weak to Ghost Stuff a la the Mount Tonglu opening incident, and Wei Wuxian has dealt with extremely powerful spirits in the past.

That being said, I think Hua Cheng could take Luo Binghe in a fight. This guy bested 33 heavenly officials, his swordplay is unmatched, and Luo Binghe is very powerful but I imagine that power comes with the side effect of very little finesse. Additionally his protagonist halo probably wouldn’t save him here since he’s not the only protagonist.

However, Luo Binghe would totally destroy Wei Wuxian. With his itty bitty Mo Xuanyu core he doesn’t stand a chance. Tearing through an army of the undead is the exact sort of op bullshit Binghe excels at, so that option is out too.

That being said, if their love interests are also fighting, Xie Lian bodies those fools. I’m sorry but even though Lan Wanji is excellent and SQQ is a peak lord, they do not stand a chance. Xie Lian’s favorite trick for 800 years was to break boulders on his chest while he had no access to any spiritual energy. Dude folded the heavenly emperor like a lawn chair. No contest.

If you ever were or wanted to make a new power for the pig miraculous, what would you make it?

Well, I already came up with "Love Chain" for Pigella as a Power Upgrade:

With it being the Power of Jubilation, it is sorta limiting on what you would do since it's all about feeling joyful and triumpant (as far as making it an offensive attack).

It's a little hard for me to think of powers that don't seem like they're encroaching on others, like the Peacock or Butterfly, since it's based on an emotion, or if it's made redundant by other things in canon.

For example: my friend @imthepunchlord thought of a power called "Hog Heaven" which gave the user wings (you know, "when pigs fly" and all). They also added that the feathers would give anyone they touched a calming effect. However, this is made redundant by the Power Potions, one of which makes you fly.

But, one I thought of to incorporate the Pig's weapon more was "Sweet Dreams" - anyone who hears the tambOARine's chime falls into a sweet sleep with happy dreams. Since it's a bit OP, I'll add the caveat that those with strong willpower can wake themselves up, and the speed that they wake up at increases the more powerful they are.

[akutagawa-spotted]

akutagawa and sibling mentioned!!!! [read prev tags on this one guys ghshdbdbdb❤️❤️🫂]

I truly think that one of the biggest tragedies in BEAST in regards to the Akutagawa siblings is that, at the core of it, Ryuunosuke viewed himself as a beast, and showed his love in a way a beast would, while Gin was the only person who ever saw him as human and judged him accordingly. She did not see a beast acting like a beast, the way everybody else did, she saw a human acting like a beast and it’s part of what drove her away.

The ADA saw their rookie detective at his worst, and watched—and continues to watch—him grow from a beast to a human over time. Consumed by hatred and only knowing how to be cruel, and slowly learning how to become human.

Gin saw her brother at his best—the best he could be in their situation—and then watched him grow from a boy to a beast within moments. The scraps of humanity that he had, all disappearing into rage so primal it no longer made him seem human.
