me when the video game confronts you with the despairing indifference of the universe and its temptation of nihilism and that you know this story will end with your tragedy no matter what because it's happened over and over so many lifetimes and universes without fail but because of your connections to your world and its inhabitants, you still need to look after one another and try despite because you are not in this alone

to me fullmetal alchemist is just about cycles.
hohenheim, 400 years ago, created the first homunculus trying to bring back his dead son. izumi curtis tried to bring back her own child. ed and al followed both their father and their mentor's footsteps and tried to bring back their mother. time and time again, it is always about love and grief, and you can never learn, because you can never stop loving. you can never stop fully giving yourself to someone and being willing to do anything to bring them back. maybe ed and al didn't know their mother would have lost something important, being brought back to life after death, but izumi and hohenheim must have, in the back of their minds, known, lost as they were to grief and uncaring for the consequences.
this show, to me, is a tragedy because it is driven by love. love turned to grief led ed and al to try and bring back a version of their mother. ed's unwavering love for al leads him across the country, leads him to doing whatever it takes to bring his brother's body back. love drives al to the same goal. this is the price we pay to love, and fma makes sure we know this, over and over. grief is the price of love. playing god, thinking you could outsmart unmovable forces, is the price we pay to love, to grieve love lost. after all, what made orpheus walk for days in the underworld only to turn back when he was within the sun's reach to make sure his lover was still there? what made him turn back, if not love? what made them all sacrifice everything, every painful part of them they had to give, simply to be able to hold the person they love again?

Maybe I should've seen it coming with the weight placed on the concept of "desire" but i really wasn't expecting dungeon meshi to turn into a full on buddhist lecture
#s#dungeon meshi#not that I'm complaining! I'm into it#but yeah the lion's explanation of how desires only lead to momentary and unsustainable happiness..#marcille being tormented by her desires...#and the way senshi's early 'it's better to do it yourself' attitude is now echoed in how instantaneous fulfilment of marcilles desires#brings her no joy#senshi being the most zen of all the characters#dunmeshi really said 'the well of your desire is literally infinite and by trying to fill it up you condemn yourself to endless torment'#and i clapped#dungeon meshi spoilers#i guess#ah!!! and the lion's eyes are a symbol of infinity.... infinite desire...#i thought it was a keyhole at first haha#hmm now that i think abt it more. part of the fundamental lore of dunmeshi is 'things that are consumed cease to exist'#with eating monsters and with eating desires. so a boundary is being drawn between temporarily fulfilling a desire (the desire comes back#and the cycle continues) and consuming a desire (the desire is gone). the former is more positive#and plays into the circle of life/finding nirvana in repeatedly fulfilling your desires thing that senshi esp has going on#the latter is portrayed negatively as it seeks to 'once and for all' fulfill something that is by its nature infinite#true fulfillment lies in accepting the neverending struggle of temporarily satisfying one's desires... one must imagine sisyphus happy.....#im literally extrapolating multiple philosophy lectures from this manga i love it#in that way you could see the lion's struggle (to satisfy an infinite desire (for others' desires)) as worthwhile!#coming back AGAIN after like ten more pages of the lion's backstory#all the trouble he caused stemmed in some way from his attempts - actually from his ABILITY - to fulfill every desire presented to him#the story seems to imply it would've been better if ppl had been allowed to struggle to fulfil their desires instead of having them granted

Everyone always seems more willing to talk and exist when I'm not around. The sleep deprivation makes me want to believe this means I'm a smothering presence rather than considering maybe everyone just finally had more free time. If the bad thoughts are right though, I guess I have no qualms against disappearing since youtube exists for entertainment.

I think the lords of fortune (though I haven't actually met them yet, so just guessing-) would've been a much better fit for Faust's indiana jones vibe going on. that being said , itsense for them to have tried and failed with the Veil Jumpers just because it was NOT a good fit. they're a little too much of a reckless adrenaline junkie to be working with artifacts in that kind of academic setting and never quite fit in. so me maybe choosing the wrong bg kinda works perfects with the side of fausts character that can't really find themselves a fitting home

Sorry, but I saw your comment about how Gepard is in that piece like Serval's shield, and I guess you mean in general how that's the role he has as the captain of the Silvermane guards and how that's the role he tried to get to get "even" with Serval due to childhood, but also... The fact that at the same time Serval is still literally his shield? That always makes me soooo ajfkabfksndjd when it comes to them and their dynamic.
DONT MAKE ME THINK ABOUT THIS IM TRYING TO COOL OFF LMAO
