#it feels like the end of an era :(

Shadow and Bone being cancelled is a little sad to me, like, that’s the umbrella academy’s cousin

The Eclipse will block out The Sun

Yuri on Ice was such a life changing anime, especially to have experienced in real time waiting for those episodes to drop every week. It was an open acknowledgment and love letter to queerness, to valuing and creating art, to loving yourself and loving those around you and it’s no surprise that it had such a large impact on those who watched it. Not to mention how stunning it was to be presented with an open letter to queer love during a time where same sex marriage and gender equality was still a very hot and controversial topic. It’s, in its own way, nestled itself into history.

It may not be in the way we all expected or hoped, but see you next level.

Me, who is completely detached from fandoms save for a handful of mutuals in each, watching today's Boruto: ........... wait. Hold on a minute. This feels like a finale??

Well, let's look on the positive side. I've recently been feeling the tendrils of wanting to cosplay the celestial bunny man, which would be 1. expensive; 2. a pain in the ass to style his dumb wig; 3. a huge pain in the ass to actually wear. So maybe, with distance, the urge will go away XD

Don't quite know how to put this but there are certain story beats that, in order for me to actually like/admire the story, specifically have to be accomplished without being a big deal.

Like, does your story present ordinary, mundane, even ridiculous people as possessing worth and dignity? Cool. Does it pat itself on the back about doing that? Unfortunately, that has circled back around to patronizing.

Does your character make the lives of bit characters and nameless bystanders a priority, even when it distracts them from Important Plot Things? Nice! Does your character make a big production of/express a lot of angst about doing that? This only barely edges out "leaving them to die" in terms of my respect for said character.

Ordinary people are just as valuable and important as Our Heroes. But the narrative should have enough conviction about that to take it for granted, and let the audience catch up if need be. A Hero should definitely take it for granted, unless they're still in the process of becoming heroic.

Otherwise, I'm left with the sneaking suspicion that the writers don't really see this themselves.

idk if this is because of just how social media has shifted over the years, but i've come to notice it feels like people don't really talk *with* each other anymore, but more like... *at* each other. and it's kinda sad to see social media feeling so one-sided these days 😓

Well pt. 6 | pt. 8 Mikey's hair

[clockwork-carstairs]

When Jem Carstairs said “Death shall never rule me” and “I do not want to live half a life” and “There is more to living than not dying.” When he said “I meant to show you that I would not break, that love was not so fragile” and “This, then, was my only recourse. To live, to stand and fight” and “I would rather die and be reborn and see the sun again, than live to the end of the world without daylight.”

Thinking about Jem’s fierce will. How maybe it goes unnoticed because of how kind he is, but how he has one of the strongest wills of any tsc character, how he is described as being unwaveringly determined and stubborn when he wants to be. Steel under silk. Thinking about his fierce desire to live beyond not dying, and how he was always, always a fighter.
