#i'm going to cry so much goodbye 👍

[feralnumberfive]

John Powell you are so cruel for 4:24-5:26 in As Long As He's Safe. What the actual fuck.

[silenzahra]

What's up Zahra? I have a question for you.

What's your favorite Mario RPG other than the Mario & Luigi series?

You can take as much time to answer as you want.

Take care!

What's up, Mugi? Thank you so much for sending this ask! 🥰 I'm sorry I took forever to get to it, but I hope you'll like my answer!

Actually, my choice is very clear:

✨ The Thousand-Year Door ✨

This game means EVERYTHING to me 😍 It was my first Paper Mario game and my second RPG ever (only after Superstar Saga), and oh God, I fell so in love with the characters, the story, the mechanics, the music! It's a game that's so full of surprises and charisma, and the fact that it was told as a play only made it cuter to my eyes 🥹

Honestly, playing this game again after almost 20 years of trying it for the first time on my Wii (I borrowed the original from my cousin as I didn't have a GameCube)... It hit hard in the nostalgia 🥹 When I tell you I couldn't stop crying when it was announced in the direct last year! And then, again, when I started playing it, especially with the soft and beautiful music as the book opens and the story starts...

I have to admit I'm getting emotional just by remembering it 🥹

It's really been so great to replay it! I've loved rediscovering again not only the story of the game itself, but also those of the different characters. Especially the partners! If I may, I wanna mention my three favorites!

Mini Yoshi and Goombella are simply amazing. Their personalities shine through! He's so bold and ready to fight, and she's so smart and sassy. I adore them wholeheartedly 🥹

And then...

My beautiful and beloved Vivian 💜 She holds a very special place in my heart. As a fun fact, she was always trans in the Spanish version of the original game, but of course, I was incredibly happy when it became something official worldwide! In this screenshot, she's actually telling Mario THE line: "It took me some time to realize that I was their sister... and not their brother." You best believe I've cried every single time I've read it, both when playing the game and on the internet 🥹

Also, the places! 😍 My personal favorite is Glitzville, because I love everything about that chapter in general. Having to fight battle after battle to climb the rankings in order to reach the top spot and being crowned champion? And in each battle you have to follow specific guidelines? Not to mention the different opponents you encounter and all the secrets hidden in this place! Absolutely AWESOME 🤩

Also: that Game Boy Advance on the wall does make the sound the console did when you turned it on. I'm a sucker for details like this as they hit nostalgia hard, so it was just another reason to love this part of the game even more 💖

Still, I also loved Twilight Town, the sea and the entire chapter that takes place in the train (can never remember its name in English 😅). I mean, just look!

Also. Mario going 👍 all the freaking time is a silly and adorable detail that made me giggle all the time 🤭❤️

I dont think I need to mention I cried my heart out when I finished replaying this game about a month ago 😅 Every single scene after I defeated the final boss just brought more and more tears to my eyes, and I just couldn't erase the silly smile from my face as I relived such a beautiful and touching ending (I'll add a few more pics under the cut so as not to spoil anyone). This game earned a really big place in my heart 20 years ago and it has only increased after playing the remake 🥹❤️

Thank you again for this ask, @megamagimugi! I hope the wait was worth it 🥰

⚠ SPOILERS BELOW ⚠

The Thousand-Year Door after you've collected every single crystal star reminds me so much of the one in Super Mario Land 2!

The moment of saying goodbye... You bet I was right there, crying with my beloved Mini Yoshi 😭

And Vivian about to tell Mario that she loves him! AAAAAHHHH my beloved shadow girl 😭💜✨

Also, loved how Mario's way of saying goodbye was, again...

Just brilliant 🤭❤️

And then... all this last sequence with Peach and Mario looking at Rogueport as they part had me UGLY crying.

As well as, of course...

I have just made myself emotional by re-visiting the ending of this game 🥹🥹🥹 The idea of them parting on a new adventure, and then celebrating the ending of the play on stage with all the partners, and Luigi being among the audience...

It's perfect. It's just perfect.

I just love every single thing about this game so so much ❤️❤️❤️

We are far from midnight yet, but i think i want to say a few words to say goodbye to this year.

2022 was a rather kind year to me, despite the horrors! And sure, the horrors were great, i am in the worst economic position ever since the pandemic, and i haven't been able to STILL fulfill my resolution, which is to come out, not to mention the very awful moments I've had w my dad's relationship and my grandma rn, but hey! Everything is going ok right now.

So let me actually thank for what the year gave me and for what achieved. For example, i finally finished highschool this year! I refuse to think of it because if i do i will cry and that goes against my tough guy persona, but it's truly a great achievement. 3 years ago i nearly killed myself because of this shit and today i stand alive on top of it. I made it. I fucking made it. And there were many obstacles, i had my own fucking Judas!! But hey, who cares! I did it.

And this year gave me a lot of joy!! This year i found out my passion for liveblogging which made me watch so many movies and be able to share so many feelings about it.

The fixations that stole the show this year are without a doubt spiderman, evil dead, and american psycho tbh! Absolutely not the only ones but the ones that most good did to me in an emotional level. I spoke a lot about my love for these things and how much they mean to me and i could do so for all the other fixations I'm kinda glossing over but that would take waaay too long 💀

But not only that, this year was WONDERFUL for music too!!! I got to get into Reverend Glasseye, my current favorite band, and so many others. Like Harley Poe! This year's album made me so clinically insane. I truly got super into these genres i was previously unaware of and it feels so nice. I'm thriving honestly!!

This year also was a great one for relationships in all honesty!! If you asked me who I met this year i wouldn't be able to answer you, but what i know is that this year truly allowed me to become more and more normal, and allowed me to create a deeper bond with a lot of mutuals and friends!! There's still a long way to go, there's a lot of people with whom i want to be closer, but this is more than i could have wished for years ago!!!!

Of course it's selfish as balls to give myself all the credit, i truly am thankful for the friends and people that have been with me this year, in a bigger or smaller scale. I appreciate and love all of you and I hope this can keep going. Hugging and kissing u all /p

AND THATS NOT ALL ABOUT MY RELATIONSHIPS!! I would be a madman if i just glossed over how my 3-4 years relationship with Blood ended. But that's not bad!! I truly think being only friends was the best choice before we ended up killing each other. Not only that, but i also got to date my dear beloved bestie darling boy Eye!! (Eye if you are reading this: kissing u w tongue rn 🥰💝💕💖💗💘💖♥️💖💞💝💗💞). I won't get too cheesy but i love him and i love this new side to our relationship we achieved and i just love it. I'm happy with it!! Lost a gf earned a bf I'm winning babeyyyyy

So, overall, 2022 treated me niceys! Sure, there were a lot of bad things, lots of extremely painful things, the horrors were strong, my mental health is ever deteriorating, but it's okay. I have hope! I have friends, i have love, i know i can make it. I WANT to make it. I want to keep going, i want to see more of this life, i want to see more of my friends, i just want to keep on living.

And that's the note I'm ending the year on!! On a pained but hopeful note. Like a man, crawling, full of open wounds, looking up and the sky again, seeing the sun go up, thankful of still being here.

Oh yeah and I'm also thankful of my brain chemistry changing crush on Willem Dafoe that was a very cool part of this year too! 😁👍

Today I saw a anon saying jk used to compliment jimin in every mv reaction videos. And in 2021 he didn't done in both mv reaction videos.

Is this right.

I know this maybe a difficult work to go through each mv reactions. If you don't want to you can dismiss this ask 😊👍.

Hello anon 💜 thank you for being patient with me. I also saw this ask that was sent to @kanmom51 a few days ago. People really grasp at anything and everything to decide KM aren't close anymore or have supposedly broken up. Now I didn't want to just say anything about this, I wanted to make sure that we could bring numbers into this before we discussed it. So I went and found all the music video reactions they have done over the years. Now please do not crucify me if I have missed one or two. There is a lot of years of content to go through here yall, and I'm only human. I think I got them all though, correct me if I'm wrong. Not all my links will be able to be embedded because tumblr only allows that 10 times, so some will have to be links you click on and follow if you want to see the original reaction. Sorry. Some are directly from Bangtan TV. Some are from Bangtan subs because BH didn't put subtitles in theirs. And some are pulled from various other subbed sources because the reaction is from other random music shows or live streams or comeback shows.... which if I missed a reaction somewhere, it's from one of those that I momentarily have forgotten about. But we work with what we have! Lol

Their first reaction video they filmed over one of their own videos was actually to a dance practice, this was in 2014, the SBS Gayo Daejeon Performance. Jungkook didn't say anything at all during this reaction, just nodded along to what the others said. The only thing said about Jimins part was by RM in this one about how it was regretful that JM missed his landing during their trick but he nailed it when they recorded it again at a later date.

The next reaction video they did was a commentary over the Danger MV on Mnet which was posted 140903. This is a much longer video, almost 20 minutes long because every single one of them stopped the video anytime their own faces showed up on the screen. 😂 I'll only talk about moments where KM talked about each other, but if you haven't seen the whole video, you should. It's cute. KM mentioned each other briefly 3 times through the whole clip. JM compliments JK on his good acting at playing the piano even though he doesn't actually play after JK stopped the video to talk about how he couldn't really play the piano. A few minutes later JM, along with everyone else, compliments JK on his acting again. During Jimins highnote while everyone dances around him, JK says "oh. Jimin-hyung."

The next video they react to is at the end of 2014 on a radio show. 141023 and it's to their War Of Hormone MV. Jikook didn't saying anything about each other in this one.

Next is 150505 for a reaction to I Need U featuring a reaction to JinKiMin predebut photos/videos too. Lol JK and JM do not really comment on each other here other than during JKs crying scene where JM says he is not good at crying on demand. I don't really know how much this one counts. Lol They had a second reaction to the I Need U MV as well on 150507. JM said lots in this video, but nothing specific to JK or his scenes. JK said practically nothing for the entire 8 minutes. He said "it looks like a drama" in reference to the MV towards the end and participated in the group "fighting" to say goodbye. But otherwise he spent the whole video chewing on his lips and enjoying watching everyone else laugh and talk.

The next video reaction that they did is their Dope MV reaction, which was filmed only with Jimin and J-hope doing the reaction on 150623. So obviously JK is not making any comments in this one either since he isn't even in it. Lol JM though, his comment over JK was "What I felt most while watching this is that Jungkookie is really handsome. I think the red head (referring to himself) matches his hair color. I also felt that many times too." He called JK really handsome 3 times in this 5 minute reaction. Lol (as a side note, they filmed this RUN episode the same day and this must have been what all the other members were getting ready for and why they weren't reacting too):

The next video reaction I found was from Dec 2015 for the RUN music video reaction. During the YoonKook fight scene, JM commented that JK looks different in this MV. During the scene where the rest of the hyungs all run up to JK and Yoonmin hug him tightly, both JK and JM smile very fondly, but neither says anything.

The only music video reaction I could find that they did from 2016 was to the Blood Sweat and Tears MV. At the beginning of the MV, JK says "Woah, Jimin hyung is sexy!" Rest of hyungs compliment JK, to which JK says "oh, Jimin hyung though" with a smile and head tilt. Jimin and the rest of BTS give an woahhhh of appreciation at JKs sexy smirk to the camera. JK screams along with the rest of the hyungs at Jimins shoulder move. JK says "Jiminie. Jiminie" (no honorifics Jk, okay) during JMs blind fold scene. Everyone called TaeJin the 2 most handsome members during their scene too. Honestly this was basically just 6+ minutes of Bangtan calling each other sexy and OT6 being Jimin's biggest fan boys.

The next MV of theirs that they reacted to was DNA MV reaction on 170918. JM at the starts says that JK has lost too much weight and should really gain some. Basically scolding him for being too skinny. JM smacks JKs arm and shouts with everyone during JKs DNA point to the arm part. JK really doesn't make any comment during this video and doesn't say anything about Jimin here, but he does give a small smile during Jimins hand camera shake part, but that's about it.

The next video is again during 2017 and is the Mic Drop MV reaction on 171126. During the flying scene, JK says "oh. You will see us fly soon. Jimin hyung! With Jimin hyung!" And they both laughed when they did. Which is cute knowing how hard they giggled together filming that bit. JM comments that JK was going hard and chants "Jeon Jungkook" during his little solo part in the first pre-chorus and then starts changing "Kim Taehyung" when it transitioned to V's part. They went to go rewatch the explosion scene and with the buildup on Jimin's part, JK says "oh, jimin hyung. His hip movements." JKs part during the bridge, JM says "as expected, Jungkook is..." but never finished his sentence. During Jimins part at the end, JK sings his like cola line too and JM asks "How was I there?" Jk and Jin reply that he looked good. Maknae Line + Hobi stay at watch it all the way through AGAIN. JM takes a photo of the still frame of JK flying backwards because he looked funny. Lol JK once again Comments on Jimins hip movements. JM once again comments on JK dancing extra hard. During the bridge, JM smacks JK on the chest and says "You're quite handsome." Jimin then stays alone to watch it for a 4th time, but the reaction cuts there.

The next one was done for the Idol MV reaction on 180904. JK commented on Jimin once, during the shot where he looks into the camera and raises his eyebrows. JK says "oh, Jimin." Jimin smacks him and asks "What are you talking about?" Just for JK to repeat "Jimin." No honorifics. JM didn't mention anything about JK during his parts this video. And then Jikook do ending mentions and say goodbye together.

The next video they do is in 2020 I believe. 200119 for the Black Swan Art Film reaction. It's a really sweet reaction. But not to much to say since it isn't really their own video, KM don't "react" to each other since they aren't in it. The only comment that gets made about Jimin is the boys says he should do a video like this too, Jimin and the 6 Black swans.

The next music video they reacted to was 2 months later, released 200306 of their ON Music Video Reaction. JM shouts "woahhh JK!!" with everyone else. JK goes "Jimin!" when he appears on screen (no honorifics again). JM asks JK if he was cold going in the water. JM at the end tells JK he did a good job and they fist bump. JK and Jhope rewatched the video together again, with no further comments on Jimin's parts.

The next video filmed was their Black Swan MV reaction video on 200317. This one is iconic for JKs reactions to Jimin, which literally start 3 seconds into the video since Jimin opens the MV up. Again, no honorifics through practically the whole video. JM made no comments over JK this video.

The next video takes us to August 2020 for a Dynamite Music Video Reaction. JM says that JK looks great as the opening. They watch it a second time this time with pauses to talk about it. JM pauses and asks a million times if JK missed him and the hyungs when filming the solo scene while JK avoids his question. JK comments on Jin doing his solo shoot but his comment about how him and Jimin were done and heading home and that Jimin stopped to help Jin create his pose. Lol JM stops on his bridge part of say his eyes looked funny and JK commented back to tease him asking why he was looking at him that way and that while the subs says "creepy" the better translation was pervy. Lol meaning JK knew he was giving him the EYES there 🤣 so there was response to Jimin over Jimins part and a comment about Jikook going home together to Jins part from JK, but no real reaction on his own to Jimin's MV parts here. But we should mention JKs serious heart eyes and eyelash fluttering while staring at Jimin during many parts of this reaction too.

They then follow this up a little bit later with a reaction to Dynamite B side MV. The only comment involving the both them here was from JM that they had to run like crazy to get to their spot on set on time. But otherwise there really wasn't any comment or reaction from either of them to each other on this one, and no comment about it at all from JK.

Life Goes On MV reaction at the end of 2020 during their vlive is the last MV reaction they did for the year of 2020. The only comment from JK to or about Jimin was after Jimin specifically asked him why he filmed him brushing his teeth/getting ready for the day. Which JK answered with a bad breath joke and saying he wanted to keep the MV like their reality. JM doesn't comment about any of JKs scenes at all here either.

Next up, we have their Butter MV reaction from 2021. They did this during their live stream commentary as well. This one was fairly short too. They went through it very very quickly in only 3 minutes. The only big comments JK gave in these 3 minutes was that he went on a water fast for 5 days for the MV, which only JM seemed to know about, which JM then pouted when his Comment about the water fast went unheard. And that he very much so wanted to tease his Hobi hyung about having to eat a big pad of butter. Lol JM didn't comment on JK here either except for his attempt at the water fast comment and a small comment about JKs long hair at the start.

And their latest as of now MV reaction was for the Permission to Dance MV, which was filmed right before the MV was released. JM comments on JK with him opening the scene with an "Oh, JK." JM teases him about his laundromat spin scene asking if it was the power of editing. JK was quiet through this really. His only comments being a how cute to the little kids dancing and his remark about how if you look at each other while dancing it will make you laugh. Which had him and Jimin looking at each other and doing the dance in tiny with big smiles.

So that's all of them I think. I only included music videos. Not reactions to stage performances, behind the scenes stuff, photoshoots etc. I also encourage you all to go and watch all these videos and see everything in the whole context. The vibes from both JK and JM during filming. Things they said to everyone else, reactions to the things that were said, things everyone else said about them. These little glimpses I talk about are just barely the tip of the iceberg of everything else going on in the videos.

Personally, I love how loudly supportive they are of each other or how amazed they get by each other, or the soft smiles often given when they see the other on screen. But often does NOT mean every single time ever. In 2014 there were 3 reactions filmed, JK said one thing about JM during his long held note during danger. That Video was also 17 minutes long. Other than that, neither of them commented on each other. In 2015 there were 2 videos for I Need U, JK didn't comment on Jimins parts in either of those videos. Nor did he comment on JM in the Run MV either. 2016 he was all over calling Jimin sexy in BST, can't blame him. In 2017, there were 2 videos, in one JK didn't comment on Jimin at all, in the other he was very appreciative of Jimins hips. In 2018, he made a flirty remark to Jimin during a scene where Jimin is flirting with the camera. No reactions (i think) in 2019. In 2020, there were 5 reactions videos posted, since the art film wasn't them technically i won't count it. The iconic black swan Jimin fanboying from JK, the Dynamite one where it was a comment prompted by Jimin and was teasing, so idk if I would count that as him hyping up Jimin's part like he did in other reactions. The ON reaction where he shouted his name when he first came on, but that's it. And the b side reaction where he didn't mention him at all. And Life Goes On, where again, it was a teasing remark, prompted by Jimin. And in 2021, we had 2 videos, where they interacted with each other fine and seemed happy, but they didn't really comment on each other's parts of the video. To sum up... lol

So out of a total of 19 videos, 8 of them have JK not remarking on Jimin's parts of the video at all. 6 of those videos take place before 2021. That is essentially 40% of their total reaction videos since 2014. 35% of those no comment videos from JK being from before 2021. So when the anon you are referencing here from @kanmom51 blog said that this was proof of a consistent pattern being broken, it's just not true. One video had no comment from JK in 2017, which we know was a good year for them. 2020 had multiple videos, one had NO comment at all, and 2 of them had only a teasing remark about Jimin after it was prompted by Jimin. Which in no way stops how cute those were, but can we really count them as JK hyping up his man's solo MV parts? He obviously cares, he obviously enjoys. But the comment of especially in 2020, well its not true. 1 out of 5 had nothing, and only 2 out of 5 could really be called "hype" behavior or "cheerleader" behavior. Black Swan was iconic with JK's reaction, but it is not the standard of every reaction video.

I rounded down slightly with my percentages. I am not a math person though, if anyone catches my math not mathing. Let me know.

So technically, yes. It is correct that JK didn't really comment on Jimin's parts in the 2021 MV video reactions. But it is NOT correct that this is indicative of a pattern broken or that it hints of changed behavior between Jimin and Jungkook. Started and ending this post with iconic KM lifts, 2013 to 2020, beautiful from start to finish.

This... was alot and took me a damn long time to go through and write up. Lmfao again, if i missed any reaction videos, i apologize. I'm working with the numbers from the 19 videos I did find. Hope this helps break down the issues from any insecurities the other anon brought up and sheds some light on what a pattern is or isn't in regards to KM. This is another reason why insecurity arises so quickly and so often and is almost always unfounded when you actually go back and look at what the patterns over the years are and what the data actually looks like. And anyway, they sure are cute and sooo sweet with each other so often. I love how in most of these reactions, they are so smitten with each other too. The half that has them hyping each other up is incredible.

Thanks for the ask and thanks for being patient! Hope you found this helpful and not just overwhelming! 💜💜

[helmes-deep]

For the lotr ask: 1, 2 and 4? 😉

Tyty so much for the asks!! 👍😃

1) Books or movies?

I've only recently read the books after watching the films, but I'd definitely go with the movies!! I felt like the books lacked a lot of context and exposition to make me more attached to the story, especially in regard to the characters. Maybe it's because I saw the films first, but I really like how Jackson developed the characters on a much deeper level than Tolkien did in the books. I also really like some of the changes Jackson did to the trilogy overall, even though it would've been interesting to see some of the things from the book in the movies (except for Tom Bombadil, lol).

That being said, I can't help but appreciate the detail and scope of Tolkien's world. Even though I didn't enjoy the books as much, I still wanted to know more about his world (which is why I decided to read The Silmarillion afterward :P). I think if you approach the books more as a fictional history (which is pretty much what Tolkien frames it as) then it'd be a lot more fun, but that isn't necessarily what I like to read in general.

2) Which character do you connect with the most?

Oooh, good question!! 🤔 I guess... Pippin, lol?? He's not my favorite (although probably in the top three), but I probably relate to him the most. I'm an idiot, smol, but (hopefully) always trying to do my best, haha 🤣

4) Which scene always makes you cry?

I don't really cry when watching movies, but there are definitely moments in the LOTR trilogy that make me tear up!! 😢 And even though it isn't my favorite scene, the part where all the little hobbits say goodbye to Frodo and Gandalf before they leave for Valinor always gets at my heart 💔😭

-> Send me a LOTR ask!! <-
