Au tribunal : - Monsieur, vous êtes accusé d'avoir, sous l'emprise de l'alcool, tiré à deux reprises sur votre belle-mère, sans la toucher, fort heureusement. Pouvez-vous nous expliquer ce geste abominable ? - C'est la faute à l'alcool, monsieur le juge. Je vous promets de ne plus jamais en boire une seule goutte! - Cette décision est fort louable, monsieur! Mais n'est-ce pas là, qu'une simple promesse d'ivrogne ? - Pas du tout. Je suis du genre à toujours tirer les bonnes leçons des situations délicates, monsieur le juge. Je peux vous jurer que, pour moi, l'alcool c'est fini! Car c'est bien à cause de lui que, ma belle-mère, je l'ai loupée!

I won’t be a bit surprised if there’s a trumper on the jury and he throws the verdict.

The kaer morons when they are in an interrogation room with officers:

Jaskier: *Rambling on for hours about everything* he's not trapped with them you see, they are the ones trapped with him, and they WILL listen to every stray thought in his head

Geralt: *eyeing the cops down without blinking. Makes them more uncomfortable than they make him*

Eskel: states that he wants to invoke his lawyer and nothing else, then goes into a light meditation until they show up

Lambert: *very confused* which crime am i here for?

Aiden: *strolls through the front door of the interrogation room* that's 14 times I've escaped! How about the best 16 out of 30? This is the most fun I've had in years!

Valdo: *sobbing grossly and insisting they got the wrong bard! It was jaskier!*

Vesemir: he's enjoying himself actually, he's better than any lawyer that's ever existed. If he can talk his way around hundreds of super human angsty teenage witchers (and Lambert and jaskier) then a couple of cops are child's play. So he's quoting laws, and policies and playing mind games until every cop/agent/intern/judge/jurer/etc. has admitted defeat and he's free to go

Pokemon Lupin and Patren for the Gameboy Color

[ID: a series of fake screenshots in the style of Gen II Pokemon. the first image is of the link battle VS screen, with the player names set to the trainer classes "PHTM Thief" and "GSPO Officer."

the next three are gifs, cycling through fake battle screens and showing off trainer sprites and back sprites for Kairi, Touma, Umika, Keiichiro, Sakuya, Tsukasa, Noël, Gauche, and Zamigo (the latter two only having trainer sprites).

the next two show overworld sprites of Keiichiro walking around the GSPO office. in the first, he is standing in front of a desk, and the textbox says "Sakuya's desk. It's a mess." Jim Carter can be seen to the side. in the second, he is looking at a poster next to his own desk. the textbox says "It's a poster of the PHTM Thieves."

the next two show overworld sprites of Kairi walking around Bistrot Jurer. in the first, he is walking away from the stairs, and Touma and Umika can be seen behind the counters. in the second, he is walking between tables.

the next two are of Noël standing in Kairi's room. he is looking at a picture frame on the desk, and the textbox says "It's a photo of a young man hugging a child...they look familiar...

the last image is a gif of a dex entry for an orange and red Shaymin, flipping between its land and sky forms. the entry reads "An excitable, odd-colored Shaymin. Its form seems to change depending on its current company. /END ID]

I don't think it fully clicked for me that the doll Sorawo sees in the family scene in Overnight on the Otherside scene is Toriko until I read the manga. It's a neat little addition to a scene that is already saying a lot about Sorawo's relationship to the concept of family.

This scene marks the climax of novel volume 4, and neatly ties together a lot of the traumatic past that her kidnapping by Runa's cult in volume 3 brought bubbling up to the surface. She's reconnected to a dissociative mindset of escape from the cult her dad and grandmother were involved with, she's recalling her final escape from that life in the form of the Red Person (whom she associates with her mom), and she nearly saw Toriko taken away by the Otherside followed immediately by Toriko's confession. Those events were at the forefront of every encounter with the Otherside in vol 4, to the point where Sorawo has to corner Kozakura to complain about it. All of that sets up Sorawo to get hit with a combo move of traumatic imagery in this scene.

The textual reading of it is that Otherside is trying to steal Sorawo away, which manifests through the vision of Sorawo's dad and grandma deciding to take the doll away. The reader's explicit understanding that Sorawo is projecting the Red Person/her mom's actions onto her dad and grandma (which hints *a lot* at how Sorawo might have overly rosy, distorted memories of her mom). This engages with fears that she's mostly conscious of—losing Toriko to the Otherside and reliving her family abuse. Fortunately Toriko saves the day, has her first kiss with Sorawo, and gets a Christmas morning engagement by knife. Everything's coming up Toriko!

EXCEPT Sorawo's narration while she's going crazy after this encounter hints at a symbolic reading of the scene. There's a fundamental incompatibility between how Sorawo conceptualizes family and life with Toriko. Family and accomplice are mutually exclusive to her. She prefers the latter (even telling Toriko as much), and treats the former as a hostile presence. Throughout volume 4, Toriko being very up front about wanting to be Sorawo's girlfriend, the first step in building a family relationship. To Sorawo, that insistence in wanting to be a girlfriend is choosing "family" over "accomplice". That plays on a more abstract fear, one that she can't wrap her head around or rationalize away. Sorawo watches this scene play out through a window of a home, the very symbol of family to her. She is outside the house—outside the definition of family—while Toriko is inside. Her fear is that her special relationship with Toriko will be pulled apart by the concept of family.

She has A LOT to process, except she's actively trying not to because that gives her the brain willies.

helly <3 my friend helly <3. NEVER give up on killing yourself.

dylan you are so smart and your meat is so huge

loved the goats

how awful outie mark was and his goofy YA protag plot

okay actually idk if i liked this one as much as some of the other ones some of it was kinda hit or miss but

OUTIE IRV. I WANNA SEE MORE OUTIE IRV FOR THE LOVE OF GOD I NEED TO KNOW WHATS GOING ON THERE.

ms cobel's whole Deal really snuck up on me but i really loved her by the end, incredible performance from an outstanding actor

things i did not like about severance:

CALIFORNIA. PLEASE. STOP SETTING SHOWS IN CALIFORNIA FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.

SUB BULLET, PATTON, THE MOST CALIFORNIA OF ALL CALIFORNIA CHARACTERS AND THE ONE I AM GOING TO EXPLODE WITH MY MIND. genuinely the patton stuff is ep1 was some of the worst moments of the show for me i truly almost gave up right there

some of the sci fi technology was just too stupid for me to believe at times. code scanners?? fucking code scanners???? oh, so do their SWEATERS set of the code scanners now? what about the fucking KEYCARDS? what about their DNA, JACKASS. just make them do strip searches and millimeter wave scans like normal people for the love of GOD

L’espoir reviendra toujours. Tu peux te jurer que tu n’y touchera plus, que l’amour ça ne t’as pas plus. Que rien ne vaut ces maux, que ça t’as brisé, mis en mille morceaux. L’amour est partout. Il s’infiltre, innocemment, tu souris et ça vient presque naturellement. C’est pas des sentiments, c’est bien plus simple, plus tendrement. C’est une personne qui par son naturel te redonne foi en l’humanité. Y’a beaucoup d’âmes écorchées, mais la sienne parvient encore à briller. Elle illumine la tienne, même contre son gré. Elle parseme des jolis souvenirs, qui quand ça va mal te rappelle que tout n’est pas joué. Il suffit d’une personne, d’une présence enjouée, d’un sourire échangé, d’un regard en toute simplicité. Les gens sont mauvais mais lui y a échappé. L’amour, il le donne, sans contrepartie, sans compromis, juste comme ça, il s’en délaisse, t’en donne un peu, par pur gentillesse. Il le rend acceptable, toi qui l’a rendu condamnable, discutable, plus que minable, cet amour te gagne. Il l’enveloppe d’humour, d’amitié, de bravoure, d’un peu de compétitivité. C’est un second souffle. Toi tu ne savait pas, que l’amour pouvait être simplement partagé. Que ce n’était pas donné sans retour, pas se briser en dernier recours. Ce n’est pas se détester pour mieux donner. Devenir faible pour rendre l’autre fort. C’est simplement échanger, une connexion sans efforts. Un lien qui n’a rien à voir avec les plaisirs du corps. C’est simplement deux âmes qui font un bout de chemin, qui s’alimentent réciproquement parce que pourquoi pas finalement. L’amour doit être simple. Discret. Un petit geste qui fait sourire, une phrase qui fait doucement rire. Mais des yeux qui eux ne savent pas mentir.
