We cannot simply and stare at our wounds forever.

HEAVEN A Novel by Mieko Kawakami

[phantomoftheorpheum]

Julie and the Phantoms being one of the most heartwarming and feel good shows I've ever watched, while simultaneously having the most absurdly tragic premise will never not to be funny to me.

or, in other words, emotionally-repressed blond serial killers and their curly dark haired sarcastic bitch boyfriends surrounded by paintings with far too many metaphors

[starcurtain]

Trying to explain in the group chat why Ratiorine has me in a death grip and I couldn't find the words so I just sent Little Prince quotes.

“What does that mean — to tame?”

“It means to establish ties. To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you, on your part, have no need of me. To you, I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world…please, tame me!”

“I want to, very much,” the Little Prince replied, “but I have not much time. I have friends to discover, and a great many things to understand.”

Absolutely "You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed"-coded ship, my goodness.

SxF Chapter 103

when i tell you i want to SCREAM about today's sxf chapter

First of all I'm not going to put it here, but the interactions with Anya and Loid are SO REAL like I have 100% seen this happen with my kids and my husband lol. But also THIS:

SIR

The way Yor is able to counterbalance Loid in this chapter is shown off multiple times. Like here:

Loid mentions that he's not good at being idle (which has been so apparent to us but it's nice to see him acknowledge it), and Yor is able to jump in and show the value in just taking time to let go, something I think it going to be what could potentially prevent Loid from accepting that he loves his family.

Also this:

Yor is much more observant than many give her credit for. She knows her husband is a worrier (even if she's not aware of the whole of his job and worries). More than that though, this clearly shows the different ways in which they approach their jobs and life even. Loid takes great value in action and learning skills (which is probably why this current mission is particularly draining to him because it's a lot of sitting around), whereas Yor relies a lot more on feelings and patience for the right time to attack.

In short Yor and Loid perfectly balance each other in all the best ways and also they are in love.

Bonus cute panels:

I know it's the perspective but it looks like they are very very close and i am here for this

Also idk why i am literally squealing, kicking my feet and smiling, at Yor saying "after we got married." Not after we met, or after we made our arrangement. It is firmly "we are married" now in her head.

With all of the comparisons of joels wild life skin to skizz pre ep1 and then the reveal of the fast and furious bit ive connected some dots that arent connected

Hear me out, joel is modeling himself after a man with a friends are family and family is everything mentality to hopefully make and maintain friendships (which makes me insane btw) and he just so happens to look like mr loyal himself skizzleman

Like we know the meta of dom toretto n stuff but in universe mayhaps there was a subconscious (or concious but hed never admit that) inspiration

[hawkp]

Thinking about how Miles called Julian Jules in “Extreme Measures” and Julian didn’t even give it a second thought. A name he wouldn’t let his parents use, something we never hear Jadzia or Ezri say.

That privilege is reserved for Miles and Miles alone.

Had a really bad day today, so thank you guys for the replies, likes, and reblogs. I do appreciate it.

I have a favour to ask as I'm in desperate need of money to fix two of my front teeth before I lose them -- if you are at all interested in tarot, spell bottles, crystals, anything like that, let me know. I do readings, I make bottles on my etsy shop (that I need to restock), and I have loads of crystals to sell.

And if you aren't interested in any of that, but are willing and able to help, you can always send me some donations to my paypal at @Haley999

I'd rather at least send you something in return, but. I'd appreciate any amount. I have a crown I need to get, which I MIGHT be able to get the insurance to cover, but I have two other teeth literally rotting that need to be handled soon or else I'll lose them -- they'll either have to be pulled or they will crumble and fall out as I had happen with another tooth that has since been fixed. Each tooth costs $300, so it'll be $600 total. I'll reblog this with a link to my etsy once I get things restocked.

Intertextuality: Naruto and Sasuke//Alexander and Soredamors

The eye is in no manner aware, Nor influences anything other, But acts as the heart’s mirror;

In and out that mirror do pass Without wounding or trespass, The flames that fire the heart.

Is not the heart set there apart, Just as a lighted candle is set Within a lantern, shining yet? If the candle’s removed quite, Then the lantern gives no light. But while the candle is alight So the lantern repels the night,

And the flame that shines within Does no harm, commits no sin.

[aerithisms]

overall a very weird dw season to me. i really like the middle 4 episodes, and thought the first 2 and last 2 were okay-to-bad. for only 8 episodes 50/50 isn't a bad track record but i think the season arc and character drama doesn't land so the season is less than the sum of its parts. much better than chibnall era, still not on the level of s1-10 dw and probably my least favourite rtd series. and yet i have hope!! bring on season 2 i want to see varada sethu

#19.3 Unravel

It had been some time since Agni felt this nervous. Not even talking with Jinsung Ha recently had made him feel like this. He fiddled with the mask on his hand as he waited for Grace to come back. He had thought hard on how to deliver the news, but he knew that no matter how he phrased it, Grace would be upset. Velt nuzzled under his palm and Agni gave her a few pats, before deciding that she would be better inside her bowl in his lighthouse, just in case the shinsu acted up around Grace after he received the news.

Grace came back wearing the comfiest shirt and shorts Agni knew Grace liked to wear on lazy days. He joined him on the floor, and they ate dinner together. Agni always finished last, so while waiting for him to finish his meal, Grace told him about his day with Bam. Grace was intrigued by how much his way of thinking had changed, and how glad he was to be able to be by Bam's side when he was having a bad day. It reminded Agni of the hidden floor, when Grace faced his sworn enemy.

They left the used bowls on the coffee table and went to brush their teeth. Afterwards, they turned off the light and went upstairs to sit on their bed. Grace's curious gaze never left him, and Agni curled his feet nervously.

Grace was the one who broke the silence. "So…what is it?"

Agni's breath hitched. This was the part he dreaded most. "I talked with the crocodile earlier. Did you know that he could manipulate stone already?"

"Huh." Grace needed a few seconds to let the information sink in. "Didn't Rak learn it on the Hell train? How does he know it?"

"Turns out our crocodile also traveled back to the past like us. He found the young crocodile and taught him."

"What?!" Grace gasped, wide eyed. "That means our Rak is–!!"

"He's dead." Agni quickly snuffed out that hope. They had been in delusion for long enough; it was time that they faced the bitter truth. "He suffered a fatal injury from the explosion. He couldn't have lasted long without proper help." Agni omitted the actual cause for Rak's death, but still kept his words true. "I'm sorry."

"…Oh." Grace looked lost, just like Agni was. His lips parted a little, but they closed before any sound escaped.

Agni gently squeezed Grace's hand, encouraging and comforting as he let the silence stretch on, giving Grace some time to process the information.

"Agni…" Grace whispered, "do you think Hatz and Isu…?"

Agni bit his lip and avoided his gaze, as the nightmare of that day replayed in his mind. He witnessed Hatz get his arm ripped off when trying to protect him. He could still recall the clang of a sword hitting the floor, and Hatz's suppressed scream that gnawed deep at his guilt. He witnessed Isu get beheaded after being taken hostage, the memory of warm blood painting them both still vivid like it happened yesterday. 

Agni refused to acknowledge their possible deaths, because it felt like a nightmare that one day he could hopefully wake up from. He avoided the topic when Grace brought it up, so he wouldn't have to say it aloud and make it real. He had been so hard on himself, because he couldn't get rid of the feeling that he had failed Grace and everyone else involved.

Agni knew this had to change if he wanted to live better, now that they had gotten a second chance. So he swallowed down the lump in his throat that had built up over the years and asked mostly to himself; "What are the odds of their survival?"

"There's always a chance–"

"Grace." Agni looked him straight in the eye. "They were already severely injured before the explosion hit."

Grace fell silent and went still.

Agni felt a pang of guilt upon witnessing Grace's reaction. "Sorry. I didn't mean to snap." Agni fiddled with his hands. He realized that he didn't know how much Grace knew of what happened. "My scar…do you know how I got it?"

"I…was told it was from the family heads' battle." Grace looked thoughtful. Agni knew he was trying to be careful with his words. "A stray attack?"

"It could have been worse." The memory of the scorching heat on his skin felt like it had only happened yesterday. He passed out right when he was about to heal Isu, and only found out later that he also lost sweetfish at that time. The days he spent recovering from the burn, to withstand the excruciating pain every second he was conscious, and finally coming to terms that it'd be a permanent scar, was one of the turning points that had changed him forever. Were Grace not there to care for him, he might have ended up destroying himself even more.

Agni hadn't realized he had his left hand clawing on his cheek until Grace pried his hand off and frowned, "You're doing it again."

"Maybe I should wear the mask…" Agni muttered to himself. After all, Grace gave it to him less so he could hide the scar but more to prevent him from unconsciously hurting himself. The only time he could safely take it off was when Grace was around.

Agni bit his lip nervously when Grace didn't reply. He no longer had the courage to look Grace in the eye that spoke so much concern, so he leaned close and rested his head on Grace's chest. "Rak, Isu, Hatz and Hwaryun were trying to get me out of that damned place. But we were caught while escaping, and…it was a bloodbath. I was…too occupied to react to the incoming heat. Rak shielded us from the explosion. And when I woke up…"

"They weren’t with you," Grace finished it for him after Agni trailed off a moment too long.

Agni nodded dazedly, "I've been telling myself that they're still alive, after a blow that could kill rankers. But…who am I kidding? I was lucky enough to survive with just this little–" Agni vaguely pointed to himself– "inconvenience."

Agni felt a hand gripping his arm, and he pulled away to see Grace looking at him with a pained expression. His eyes were glossy and his lips were pulled into a thin line. Trusting his instinct, Agni reached out to gently trace and cup Grace's cheek with his free hand.

"I'm sorry," Agni muttered. "I'm sorry, for not telling you sooner."

Agni silently witnessed tears that streamed down on his love's face. It was a bitter sight that Agni wished he'd never have to see again, that he had tried to avoid for so long by not telling him. He pulled Grace in and held him close to his chest, as if Agni was trying to gather his own crumbled heart back together.

Grace mumbled their late best friends' names as he held onto him tighter, shaking from each breath he took between sniffles.

Agni felt his own eyes sting with unshed tears. He remembered the years he spent climbing the tower together with his old team. Despite their banter being his source of headaches, Agni knew he too had come to acknowledge them as his cherished friends. Only when they were gone did Agni realize how much he'd miss having them around. Seeing the younger them didn't exactly close the gaping hole in his heart, but at least the emptiness was more filled.

Agni squeezed Grace tighter. "We have their younger selves with us now. We will protect them better this time."

Grace only nodded and sank further into his embrace. And Agni planted kisses on his hair, relishing the thought that after everything he had gone through, Grace was still a constant in his life. As long as he had him, everything would be okay.

When Grace started shaking again, Agni caressed his hair and hummed a comfort song they had known by heart. Still, it didn't make falling asleep any easier for Agni, especially not after admitting that his nightmare was very much real. However, as he had been through grief…this, too, would pass.

My dad was very against me getting a dog and then IMMEDIATELY fell in love with her. Like he absolutely adores her. He started off like 'uggh I don't want to end up having to take care of it' and now he REQUESTS to babysit her every couple weeks or so just for fun. He will just sit there petting her and chuckling and saying "She just makes me laugh :)" to himself. He calls himself her 'grandpa'. The bond between an aging father and the pet he didn't want is probably the deepest love on earth.

[fun-twisted-tales]

I remember when I first read the 12th book and read George and Harold saying they can go back in time and have fun adventures. Sure I knew what the author meant, they would have fun exploring time while their time doubles (long story) were the ones to grow up in their place. And that’s where it would have ended if they stopped talking.

But George had say one more thing.

“Let’s go rescue Sulu and Crackers!”

Rescue them.

Because in the last book, they disappeared by going back in time. They went to before the universe because a villain was holding a bomb.

A bomb that, when exploded, killed them and became the universe.

And George and Harold went back to “save” them.

That’s right, I thought George and Harold canonically died in the Big Bang.

Sure, looking back, it’s obvious that it was supposed to be they went in, save them and all went and skipped in a flower field, holding hands and singing “Peace on earth” for all of eternity but it still feels too much like a Deus ex Machina to me.

It just felt like it all happened way too fast for the two to swoop in, get the animals and swoop out. There’s no way they didn’t get caught in the time travel and were caught in the explosion themselves.

And before you say “this was just Dav trying to put the kids head in ease, why you are overthinking some recon?”

I HAVE THOUGHT THIS SINCE 2014!

THIS HAS BEEN BOTHERING ME FOR 10 YEARS!

I was really morbid kid..

(I am 18 and therefore an adult. I post darker things for shows meant for kids. If you are a kid, be careful as will I.)
