♢ — @bogachs asked: 👕 ─ go out wearing matching christmas sweaters (or at least said they were torn and i made executive decision to give both :) )
holiday festivities starters: ACCEPTING! 👕 ─ wearing matching christmas sweaters
“...Tell me this is a joke.” It was OBNOXIOUS is what it was. Dottore makes exactly zero attempt to conceal his particular feelings on the matter when he stared at the christmas sweater that was OH SO GRACIOUSLY handed to him. Damn Pantalone’s ability to pick apart his segments. Otherwise he probably COULD have gotten away with making Delta attend the festivities instead. Pantalone had rather EFFECTIVELY put an end to that possibility with this rather simple gesture, undoubtedly having PREDICTED the fact he might attempt to pull such a stunt.
Ugly christmas sweaters were one thing. Ugly MATCHING christmas sweaters was a whole other genre of its own. Lights, bells, garland. It was as if Christmas decided to explore onto the unfortunate fabric. Quite frankly, he doubted anything could beat it (other than perhaps the sweaters the entirety of his other segments were having to wear). He contemplates arguing it, but he knows BETTER than to think he’s going to win this particular argument when the banker was wearing that particular expression. If he was going to HAVE to participate, they better be certain to win this thing.
Dottore does not VERBALLY concede to the moment, but the fact he sheds both outercoat and the other layers of fabric and leather and feathers says plenty on his (albeit UNENTHUSIASTIC) agreement to partake in this plot of the regrator’s. At least it is COMFORTABLE, Dottore will give Pantalone that. He’d expect nothing less, though he’s rather inclined to remain IGNORANT on how much these sweaters might cost. Then again, high fashion was typically ABSURD and yet EXPENSIVE so frankly, perhaps it was rather IN LINE. “....Should I be inquiring to if you have ACCESSORIES as well? Or am I going to need to fetch those? If we’re doing this, we’re going to ANNIHILATE the others. “ And nothing short of that would satisfy EITHER of them.
#bogachs#its the shift for me that does it#dottore from not wanting to to the want to crush them#they're going to win this#♢ — ❛ he whom ushers in your darkest hour ❜ ( ic )#♢ — ❛ science is the only thing worth my time ❜ ( main verse )#♢ — ❛ lips stained in the violence of love ❜ ( bogachs | pantalone )

was thinking about takeshi and how he's my favorite brand of unconditional devotion btw. the utter and absolute and all-consuming kind that runs so deep to the very core and is so intrinsic and fundamental to it, it can only express itself in the most casual and natural and certain way. without second thoughts, without any room for doubts or for any moral dilemma to be had over it, because of course he ought to always be breathing and living for his chosen person first and foremost. of course he ought to hang on their every word and make them true no matter what, no matter what he has to do to make it happen, no matter what he has to do to other people to make it happen, and no matter what it might turn him into in the process. because it's obviously the way the world should be for his chosen person. at their feet, ready to bend over backwards and break and build itself again to better answer to all their needs even if they don't ask it for it. it's the only right way it should be for them, and of course takeshi's going to do his utmost at all times to make it a reality as much as possible.
and his devotion comes out as naturally as breathing, comes out lighthearted and nonchalant like he might as well be talking about the weather, but it's not unaware of itself. it's not that takeshi doesn't know it's unhealthy and wrong and that he's willing to go entirely too far in its name for anyone's good. it's not that he wouldn't hear you out if you were to sit him down and explain to him just why he needs to tone it down a little (a lot). logically, he'd agree with you and know you're right. and then he'd tell you he's still not going to do anything whatsoever about it. that he's not bothered by it and doesn't feel the need to change anything to his attitude. makes it a point to never let anyone or anything sway him even an inch in the stand he took when it comes to that, no matter how many thousand of times you might go over the subject with him.
because the morality of his devotion isn't the point at all. is entirely irrelevant to it and doesn't affect the way he expresses it all. it's not the metric with which he draws a line in the sand to hold it accountable to. because the thing is, takeshi's entire world revolves around tsuna--tsuna is his entire world altogether, and it's just a matter of fact, that simple. to him it's a truth as unchanging as the sky being blue, and so being the way he is according to that truth is the only way he can imagine being that'd feel right to him. and so the actual and only metric that matters here is "would tsuna be happier if i were to do this?" and/or "is this something tsuna needs me to do?"
and like. i don't think takeshi ever stops being a kind person capable of compassion and understanding and mercy and forgiveness even ten years later once they became mafia through and through. and i don't think either he grows up to be feared and called a monster per se despite the things they inevitably had to do during those ten years (and the things they'll inevitably keep having to do as long as they keep being mafia), at least not in the way, for example, they'll never stop fearing and calling mukuro one. but i do think that among the tenth gen, he ends up being the one with the most ruthless, merciless and horrific blood on his hands of that particular and distinct loving kind. you know the one i mean, right? he comes to be the one most expected and the one first expected to be willing and to take it upon himself to go through with it when the need arises. and to think little of it after, if anything at all. all in the name of making tsuna's reign as easy on him as possible.
and it's to the point where it's the kind of blood that makes even mukuro pause at times. or, when takeshi is the one coming up with solutions himself during meetings, makes even reborn blink. not because it's unjustified or wouldn't be safe or efficient or anything of the sort, but because it is unwarrantedly thorough in its retaliation. and sometimes, at times like this, he's the one tsuna needs to step in for the most, because he's the only one who can reason with him that "yes, this would work in getting rid of our problem" but "no, please, don't do that takeshi". because if tsuna is the only thing that infers on just how much and in what ways he'll let himself be devoted to him, then of course, he's also the only one takeshi's willing to reign himself in for without second thoughts. because he'd hate to ever do something tsuna would disapprove of or wouldn't want him to do. or do something that'd make tsuna see him differently or love him back less even in the slightest.
and it's also like. his devotion isn't an undisciplined one. it's not one he doesn't have control over, the very opposite. it's a very purposeful and conscious choice he chooses to keep making over and over again every step of the way, and he taught himself to have control over it, to know when it's needed and/or wanted, and how much and in which ways it is when it happens, and to keep it down otherwise. and, yes, to also reign it back in at tsuna's request at times when it still slips past his control. because it's all about making tsuna's happiness easier and secure and long-lasting, and never about burdening him with just how committed he is to do that.
so it comes down to this: takeshi willing to go above and beyond and more for tsuna unless tsuna explicitly asks him not to. and to tsuna needing to ask him not to every now and then. and to other people pointing out to him how too many times tsuna's already needed to stop him, and that maybe there's a hint for him to take there. and to takeshi seeing the hint, looking it straight in the eye and recognizing it for what it is and just. deciding it doesn't apply to him because it's all perfectly normal behavior to him. because it's the only kind of behavior that makes sense to him and feels right.
and so—to circle back to my first point—he can only express his devotion as naturally as breathing, so casually, almost like it's something inconsequential and not worth talking about despite how unmistakably it couldn't be further away from being the truth. it's the only way he could have always known how to express it, because, after all, who has ever taken time to ponder about the details and the hows of the way they breathe?
and i, for one, absolutely eat that shit up every time, thanks for coming to my ted talk <3
#katekyo hitman reborn#khr#khr meta#can i even call this one?? well i'm going to anyway lol#yamamoto takeshi#sawada tsunayoshi#i've never been normal about devotion in stories and characters and won't ever be so sorry if this doesn't make sense#also this is not to say the 10th gen loves tsuna any less unconditionally this isn't a competition#it's just me saying the particularities and specificities of the way takeshi specifically does it appeal to me the most#which is one of the reasons why i have such a big soft spot for 8027#and it's not a problem in their relationship either btw that's also not what i'm saying#like tsuna doesn't mind it and absolutely /does/ reciprocate it 100%#he's just careful to keep an eye out so none of them will lose themselves along the way#also this is within the context of me shifting canon slightly to the left in the way where the 10th gen loves tsuna /so much/#they could just as well actually and properly worship him as a god and it still wouldn't make a single difference#and me liking to lean into that fully and taking it to extremes and it inevitably becoming some extent of dark#because considering the environment canon makes them express it (the mafia) it's like. well how else are they meant to keep it alive#and make sure it survives through it without giving it sharp teeth and claws and jagged edges of its own you know?#so if you feel like this is some kind of ooc-ness you're not wrong#but also consider: i'm not wrong either <3#anyway consider also: unconditional devotion running /so/ deep down to your marrow and to your very essence#even in the face of the whole world telling you how wrong it is and how insane and unhinged you are for it and condemning you for it#it still wouldn't so much as make you consider the thought they might have a point#and i genuinely EAT that shit up every time i love to see it <3

honestly cant stand how technically important demise is and yet how he doesnt actually matter or exist in peoples minds as a character, the only thing that matters is his stupid "curse" thing and its the only thing why he will ever be brought up, theres never really any thought around him that isnt related to the "cuuuurse", otherwise he basically doesnt exist in the fandom
to some extent its understandable given how little he actually is in the game but it still makes me sad and a little frustrated imo he shouldnt be treated like soemthing so unimportant given hes involved with the literal start of the timeline
and worst of all is how he and ganondorf make each other worse, like their link is completely deniable yet its like more often than not treated like gan is to demise what zelda is to hylia, but even that isnt used interestingly no, its only ever to write off gan as "well, hes just a demon, demons need no motives or character, they are jsut evil" WHICH IS SO BORING, and people will be HAPPY about that??? they go yippie gan is jsut an evil demon yaaay like the fuck???
it goes around to that other post i made about how not wanting a better written gan is wanting everything to be worse, bc a better written villain is a better written everything and there is only winning in that
demise specifically is just a sore spot for me since hes my blorbo, and the way even gan fans hate him for introducing the "cuuurse" thing just makes it hurt doubly, i get why, still its just so .. man i wish BOTH gan and demise were allowed to be characters, at least gan was a character at some point, demise has nothing ;__;
#ganondoodles talks#zelda#sudden demise feelings go brrrrrr#whenever he does get mentioned by anyone i cant even go “demise mention!!”#bc the only thing that he gets mentioned for is the damn curse thing#which i dont care about and actually hate bc its a big reason why so many gan discussions are outright impossible now#and is the reason he doesnt get any other thought than that#yeehaw lets just shift the blame around#bc thats better#to fix it we should invent another literal satan guy who is actually controlling demise#thats like how it went with him and gan#its just so BORING#stop shifting the evil incarnate thing around that doesnt solve its problem#it just shoves it onto another character#grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr#and he never got ANY merch#he didnt even get a watercolor painting#no#he has ONE concept art#they jsut drew buff dude and gave him fire hair and put no more thought into it#drives me up a wall

All evidence suggests yes
#starting a new power scaling system for the warlords of the sea but im rating them based on whether i think theyre an ally or homophobic#kuma is an ally because photos dont lie and hes clearly wearing an ally pin#also you cant spend that much time around somebody with the title “Queen of the Queers” and somehow be homophobic afterwards#unless youre sanji but hes still on his internalized homophobia growth arc. i believe in you buddy you can beat this#crocodile is trans and baroque works is the alphabet mafia in a literal form#with that said. he has the energy of “im not homophobic yall are just annoying”#doffy has the energy of a homophobic homosexual#like hed kiss a guy and then call him a f*g and throw him out a nearby window#jimbei joins the strawhats so ofc HES an ally#blackbeard sucks but i dont think hes homophobic#hes one of those people you meet and theyre just the worst all around and youre like “man this guy has gotta be homophobic”#somebody mentions their partner and you go “oh boy here it is” but he just has no reaction whatsoever#hes such a problem but at least hes not homophobic on top of everything else#Gecko Moria is such a virgin that i dont think he knows being gay exists any more than he knows being straight does#Typa MFer who thinks “sex” is just a synonym for gender#also hed see your top scars and get excited because he thinks youre a zombie#gecko moria probably thinks LGBT is an acronym for some branch of the navy that he doesnt know (or care) about#Because Boa lives on Sapphic island i would jump the gun and immediately say she's an ally but i feel that its more complicated than that#not unlike moria. she also doesnt actually have a real strong grasp on being straight vs being queer#but thats just because shes used to everybody being whipped for her equally#somebody tries to explain it to her and shes just like “??? but theyre all obsessed with me?”#if she ever encounters a gay man it will be a reality shifting event for her#id say itd be the same if she met a sex/romance indifferent aroace but like#monkey d luffy#its already happened#mihawk is probably both an ally and queer himself but he just minds his own business so much that we may never know#one piece#seven warlords#warlords of the sea#bartholomew kuma

no one knows pain like a transfem roman believer with entirely ambivalent feelings towards romencken
#op#succession#the thing is. its arguably not the most substantiated reading#but romans character shifts wildly from writer to writer#like people are surprised by jesse calling him a 'classic playboy' when the show does everything to disprove that#but its like. yeah lol he didnt write romans arc! roman was passed between dozens of screenwriters all of whom have vastly different#perspectives on who he is. thats how we get romans characterization changing so much btwn seasons and even episodes#so anyway all readings are an attempt to recuperate this meta discordance#and i personally think that him being transfem is the most interesting wrt how it affects the larger themes of gender in the show#but also. i cant share in these feelings bc the entire circle of people who agree with me are passionate romencken fans and i simply dgaf

This is going to sound so stupid but I only today realised that a significant number of people like....look down on retail & service industry work.
#Nothing like happened i'm just listening to Debt by David Graeber & thinking about things#Remembering when my coworkers wife was working in a cafe while she finished her masters#And I was like - ah I like that cafe! Does she like the work?#& he scathingly said#'well. its cafe work'#I feel stupid! This should be obvious!! I know people treat service industry workers like shit!#I guess my mammy - who raised me on her wages from 5 jobs at a time including everything from#Cross border peace development work to cleaning bedrooms in a b&b -#Simply did too good a job teaching me that any job worth doing is worth doing well. Has inherent dignity. Etc.#Also I have many friends who prefer being baristas to like. High paid lab work#Also i'm from a rural area where farm work is considered the Real Work& everything else is just filling in the gaps#And I grew up surrounded by teachers & civil servants & nurses who would pull a few shifts at a bar or hotel to make ends meet#So. I never really computed that some of this work is considered lesser.#tthat the people who do it are consdjered lesser by some.#And not just by outrageous snobs. By like. Average ppl with jobs that they can sit down in#This is blowing my mind I need a minute#Me Fein

I always wondered about what the anon asked as well. Care to share your reading?
I more or less agree with the OP's answer that it's about Louis not wanting to be connected to Madeleine, but I think the motivation is probably different?
My read is that episode is really about Louis trying to let Claudia go, and that he's acknowledging the complete dissolution of the family unit. After all, if Lestat and Louis' turning was a wedding, and Lestat turning Claudia was Lestat giving Louis a daughter, Louis knowing that Madeleine and Claudia are a love match in a lot of ways turns him into the father giving his daughter away on her wedding day. Turning Madeleine isn't about love for him, nor about having a child, it's about seeing his daughter as a grown woman ready to start her own family without him.
The acknowledgement of Claudia as an adult is not one he's ever genuinely made before - something s2 makes very clear with Claudia having to pose as his daughter again in wartorn Europe, Baby Lulu being the female diminutive of Louis, and then, even more tellingly, with Dreamstat explicitly referring to her as such - and while she's been pulling away all season and trying to force Louis into independence, it's been something he's pretty clearly very resentful of.
Madeleine though forces his hand, because Claudia finally choosing a companion splinters the last leg of their family unit for good. Madeleine is a stranger to him in the way many children's spouses are strangers to their in-laws, and Louis doesn't have Lestat to share the weight of that with anymore (and he doesn't have Lestat because of Claudia, which deepens the resentment). All he knows - which he discovers through turning her - is that she loves his daughter, and I take Louis trying to get the blood out of himself as a bitter and wounded sort of wedding gift.
He wants to give them their freedom, but at the same time the depression he experienced as an empty nester in New Orleans has already set in, he has to live with the fact that his attempt at a family has ended, and Armand's never been as satisfying to take things out on as Lestat was, to say nothing of the fact that he - as Assad put it - doesn't give a fuck about Claudia. At least Lestat gave a fuck, even if he usually gave the wrong sort of fucks, haha.
So yeah, I think it's a sort of attempt at a resentful wedding present, in a lot of ways, to try and give her this thing without being a part of it, and a real attempt to let Claudia go as his daughter.
Little does Louis know though, Claudia's the gothic heroine of this story, and she's not ever going to get out of her father's (or step-father's) house.
#i almost made this a lot longer haha#but i'm trying to keep these a little shorter#but yeah i probably have another post in me about the shifting power dynamics of s2#and in particular the way a lot of s2 - and this episode in particular - is about establishing lestat's power and pervasiveness#and then completely undermining it#like lestat's back! oh wait no he's not he's just in louis' head#oh this is lestat's theatre! wait no its not its a different venue with only one person who ever even knew him#oh lestat's fully bankrolling the theatre though! oh wait no he's not because they had to downsize and the banker can't even get in contact#oh lestat's back for real this time! oh wait he's being used as a prop#lestat haunts the season but he's also completely impotent in it#he's puppeteered by everyone#first louis with dreamstat then armand in his retelling then the coven at the trial#and there's this interesting way they all weaponise him against each other while he's completely powerless in it#it's very rebecca by daphne du maurier#very mrs rochester in the attic#and i think does a very neat job of recontextualising louis even outside of his re-rememberings as being a character with more power than#he likes to admit to and a patriarchal force in claudia's life#iwtv asks#amc interview with the vampire#louis asks#claudia asks#madeleine asks#iwtv 2.06
