one thing I really really appreciate abt riz gukgak as a character is that he is un-self-aware to the max. he inhabits his body so completely. the arc that would usually be run as "I'm different and unable to connect with my friends in this way that everyone seems to be able to do and so something's wrong with me and I don't like myself" when it comes to riz is actually like no! I have literally no problems or praises for myself personally. I don't stand outside of my own self and judge it. it's phrased as "other people will eventually find someone more important to them than you" rather than centering it on his self-perception. he doesn't know why he doesn't have the best social life on earth even though he's not afraid at all to talk to other people. every time he sees himself in someone else's actions or behaviour he gets startled by it. his latest epilogue is realizing seemingly for the first time that he's not just an agent of causes but an actual character. he's my hero and I want to be him when I grow up

Ryuji having the worst bi crisis of his fucking life bc his mom just had to fucking ask “oh, whats this young ladys name?” when he showed her a picture of Akira petting Morgana. Like okay yeah Akira is like objectively pretty, hes like the Classic Delicate Pretty Boy just like Yusuke which is like whatever; straight dudes have eyes, and they know what women like to see. But now hes like. Seeing things he likes in girls IN Akira now and he cant make it Stop like its genuinely keeping him up at night 😭

Pretty boy used to be A Face that would come up in his mind when he thought of the term. There was no specifics in mind, just like. Pretty Boy. Pretty boy! You say that and theres like a Face Template that shows up in ur minds eye and hed just attribute that to any dude who was like Vaguely Pretty. But now its Akira 😭 and he finds himself cataloging things that Akira does that he KNOWS he finds cute when girls do it. The hairtuck behind the ears. The headtilt when he mishears a question. The Actually Pretty Doe Eyes. The breathy, nearly inaudible chuckle he does in place of a Real laugh (thats made better by the fact that its so hard to get him to laugh in the first place). He likes cute snacks. He blushes easily. Ryuji is sitting here like ‘theres no fucking way man. Like theres just no way. That shit makes NO sense (a lie)’ lying in bed in the middle of the night looking like this vvvv w his phone in his hands (looking at pictures of akira)

It drives him insane bc like he did Not see any of these things as like inherently girly or whatever. Like thats just akira thats just his bro! And he does OTHER weird shit that cancels all that shit out. Hes like a messy engineer/tinkerer, he rolls out of bed and whatever situation his hair is is everyones problem. He wears that AWFUL gym uniform and doesnt tweak it AT ALL?? He likes baseball?? hes got a whole binder of trading cards that he will show off if u show any moment of weakness. Like hes just Some Dude but also manages to be Some Girl at the same time and Ryuji is like thats not fair. Life sucked ass but at least it made sense before Akira stumbled into it 😭

religious guilt but make it flight rising

[amundsenxcook]

always thinking about cookmundsen prison era

literally always thinking about amundsen turning on most every person in his life as he got older, becoming more paranoid and closed off and mistrusting. thinking about him sinking into his debts and being cast aside and becoming so depressed, he describes it as the lowest point of his life.

thinking about amundsen in an american hotel picking up pen and paper and writing a letter to a friend. and even though that friend is in prison, he is still a friend. even though the press had defamed him, even though the law had persecuted him. or maybe because of it – fred cook was roald amundsens friend.

thinking about fred refusing to see visitors, being ashamed of his status and situation, not wanting to see his ex wife or family or anyone.

thinking about fred agreeing to see amundsen.

thinking about amundsen never doubting or badmouthing fred. thinking about fred never envying amundsen. no rivalry, no jealousy, no resentment between the heroes of north and south. (one each.)

thinking about amundsen saying that he would have gone to visit fred even if fred had committed crimes much worse than the ones he was imprisoned for. thinking about amundsen not even knowing what fred did. thinking about amundsen not caring.

thinking about the gifts. a book and an embroidered tablecloth, both crafted in prison. thinking about the tablecloth being displayed in amundsens reception room, where anyone who’d come to visit would see it. thinking about it still lying there today.

thinking about hands clasped tightly. thinking about fred inventing words of comfort and love exchanged between them.

thinking about “come and see me again, captain, won’t you?” and thinking about “i certainly will, doctor.”

[skunkes]

there's a subset of "he would not fucking say that" when it comes to peoples...personal interpretations of characters in media thats like. His ass would NOT be a good father to your children 😭

Hi! I hope this isn't weird but I sent you an email about my zine... iwi No pressure, just wondering if you got it! Thank youuu!!!

AH, I'M SO SORRY! I don't actually check that email very often; I should probably be more consistent about that, LMAO.

Anyway WOW this is an awesome looking zine... I'd been idly imagining something along the lines of a narratively inclined game manual for a while—it's really cool to see that such a thing exists! Definitely considering picking up a copy for myself...

Everyone go look at it → https://valdritch.square.site/product/wothezine/1

its interesting to see how so many people come to the conclusion that ww is the one to butcher his job because he fell in love with vash

when, i think he actually did fulfill every single requirements of the job knives forced him to take

because the funny thing is, vash will always ended up confronting knives by his own will, no matter what. knives didn't have to put ww on babysitting duty (which, shows how much he look down upon humanity that he think someone like ww isn't that big of a threat to him) but yeah maybe ww got in this position just so knives could show vash how irredeemable humanity is and why they're not worth it...

but i wonder if he actually predicted just how much this puny human will affect vash's motivation to defeat him

idk i'm just talking out of my ass here but i think the first and last time wolfwood actually abandoned his post to prioritize his personal matter is when he leave to fight chapel and livio. that's the only time he put himself first before his job, and even then it's not literally him putting himself first, but rather the people he loved and cared for

fuck it, ww is such an interesting character...

wedding mizunene..........

[barking]

i feel like. idk obviously PLEASE please correct me if im wrong, but i feel like as a white person its irresponsible not to disclose that you are in certain online spaces, if that makes sense. because i think its unfair to potentially put discomfort on someone who might follow you/you follow who specifically doesnt want white people interacting with shit, idk it just makes me feel weird when i dont really see people... not "list their race" per se, obviously, but disclose that they are white. does this make sense?

its really interesting to me how the resident vampires in general of gg and bb have such completely different ideologies. mostly in reference to slayer and rachel but i think this somewhat extends to clavis also bc iirc he wasnt an observer but still kinda played by the same rules. theres at least a plot reason for rachel not to stick her nose into anything plotwise but she still kinda does anyway and i think even if she didnt have the bystander restrictions she wouldnt deign to interact with anyone all that often. i like the dichotomy of the alucards' general attitudes towards humans being at least moderately scornful and superior to some extent even if not actively despite still ultimately wanting to help out (mostly rachel tbh but theres still elements of the typical fiction vampire superiority complex type shit just in general vibes wise for all three of them, esp in relation to like. fuzzy) and slayer's attitude that humanity is a beautiful thing and wanting to help the people he comes across despite having no particular incentive to do so aside from personal fascination and goodwill. rachel already built in having some level of scorn for humans as lesser and also having ample incentive to never interfere with the main storyline as it carries out but doing it anyway because despite these things she still cares despite the active threat to her Literal Existence vs slayer having no skin in the game either way if he does or doesnt help anyone out but still deciding to try to help others find their way regardless just because if nothing else its the most interesting thing to do from his perspective. he has no external motivation TO or NOT TO interfere with anything, its just essentially long term people watching and hed rather do good than do nothing

not to be about opera again but to be about opera again. as an art form it has the reputation of being super stuffy and something for snobs who don't know how to have fun only but honestly this was one of, perhaps even THE main theatrical entertainment for centuries. i wish people knew how hard these things can go and how engaging they can be. like characters kill and die and fight wars and (almost) commit human sacrifice left and right. characters fall in love they mourn they're ecstatic they cry they're furious it's an extremely dramatic and emotional art form! and i understand that opera does not appear approachable bc of the general conventions of the art form but i promise old works can be fun and engaging if you go watch them with some preparation beforehand (reading the libretto helps) - not to mention not all operas are old bc there are so many modern operas which engage with topical events! also the music slaps.
