#it's not as intricate as I feared

[biggest-gaudiest-patronuses]

i am thinking how much poorer, how much less colorful the world would be if art was only made by "professionals." if all the music, all the stories, all the sketches & paintings & craftwork of the world was created only by the small category of people able to make a decent living from their art. imagine if the only people allowed to create were the experts & the renowned & those aspiring to the top. what a grey world that would be. how much joy would be bleached away! i love you people who create for the sake of creating, i love you artists who do art for tiny audiences, i love you people who make things even just for one person, even just for themselves, even if no one's watching, thank you thank you thank you for decorating the world in which we all exist

Whenever I finish any show, book, or piece of media I’m always like “yeah that was good but it wasn’t as good as German science-fiction time travel thriller Dark (2017)”

What I think is so important to learning how to truly appreciate life is learning how to appreciate the creatures and things we've categorized as "disgusting" or "gross."

When I learned to appreciate wasps, I realized how much they just... don't really care about anything, and they're not trying to be an asshole because they're uniquely cruel. If they have any wants, it is to live. Why would I punish that when I also want to live?

This isn't to say you need to fall in love with the creepy crawlies that stalk this world or to love what you cannot, but to recognize that in their arrangement of atoms, they are trying to persevere, and in the end... aren't we all?

oh guys we're really in the trenches now

the thing is that I literally love the idea of 3 star fam never wanting to go back to the pizzaplex and not feeling any sense of duty for what goes on there once they're free and just. only doing the mimic trapping and that's it and letting Cassies dad (if they even knew about him) do all the dirty work mimic duty of setting up mxes and they just finished it once he died but like. are they going to TREAT it like that.

would they treat it like 3 star being desperate to live normally and wanting nothing to get away from everything freddys but until they end things for good, as the only people left who can, and a reason that they HAVE to go back with cassie being manipulated by mimic, theyll never be truly free and they have to face their fears/abuser to achieve that, but their absence was purposeful this whole time because of them wanting nothing more than to be involved, or are they just not going to touch on it and their absence will feel random and meaningless and Cassies dad important for no reason without that 3 star characterization and itll be mid

Musical Touken Ranbu: Tsuwamonodomo ga Yume no Ato english sub

A passion project if there's ever been one, it's been a longstanding want of mine to finally do this! Needless to say, Tsuwamono and everything it meant is still my favourite plot from Toumyu! I love its character-driven and intricate writing, its heartrending acting choices, as well as the way it invites one to think about what characters think and why, and why they do or don't (dare to) do the things they do.

However, another important reason that I'm letting myself indulge in this, is that recent Toumyu has taken a turn away from this plot, changing the way how Mikazuki is framed, tying different characters to themes that were tied to Kogitsunemaru, and put those characters into roles that would originally have been most natural for Kogitsunemaru to follow.

In that light, then, I hope that these subtitles will allow you to see, even if it's just the smallest sliver, what I loved in Toumyu's take of Kogi and Mika up to and including Kotobuki. To see that it was beautiful. Because I think it was. 💙💛🌙🦊

Keep in mind that the files in the folder below are only the subtitle files, timed and tled to the blu-ray and DMM senshuuraku distribution. The folder also includes a pdf with translation notes, some background information where I felt it would add, and just a little bit of eager gushing about the references made.

You can find the folder with all the aforementioned files here!

Please enjoy, even if it's just with me in your thoughts.

*slams my fist on a desk* #31 (flowers) for R&V i beg

5 SENTENCE DRABBLES!

Victoria had long since given up on the appearance of propriety –– weddings, she had come to find out, were so much planning and paperwork –– and lay stretched out now across his lap with legs dangling and memo pad to the sky.

"Oh, lilacs I think ... white lilies, perhaps."

"Those are funeral flowers, Roger."

His little fiancée shot him a disapproving glance, and he returned a fond, if amused smile. "So much the better to take you across the threshold of the family tomb."

literally my biggest weakness as a writer is that i’m fucking terrible at conveying any kind of meaningful plot or character development without racking up a huge word count. i have no idea how people are able to pull off 15k long fics that somehow still have satisfying character arcs and plot threads. i always feel like i need SO much space to make everything flow naturally otherwise it just reads as really rushed and shallow

[vaperarmand]

It’s a whole four-ish sentences, alongside some forwarded paperwork, and it reads: Congratulations, Roman. This is a great opportunity for you. Looking forward to seeing what you make of it. Good luck. Fuck. Shit fuck. What? It’s so fucking sick that he almost turns to the also-now-defunct sibs group chat to ask Hey, did Gerri ever send you guys professional well wishes or do you think she actually used to sort of believe in me?
