coup de foudre

sunjae tossed and turned in bed, legs kicking at the bedsheet clinging to his body as he struggled to get comfortable.

he felt restless. somewhat breathless.

he presses a hand against his chest, right over his heart, and feels it still beating at a much faster pace than normal.

he lets out another sigh as he turns to face the window, eyes catching the raindrops pelting against the glass.

it was raining that day too.

the day he met her.

sunjae flops back onto his back, head hitting his pillow as he stares up at the ceiling.

his neighbour-

sol. lim sol.

the reason behind the feeling in his chest — the reason behind the racing thoughts and uneven heartbeat.

he presses the heel of his hands against his eyes, trying and failing to breathe at a more normal pace in an attempt to calm his beating heart: with thoughts of their first meeting still fresh in his mind, swirling around and refusing to disappear, it was hard to control it.

the sound of the rain shower outside only made it worse — he used to hate the rain, think it a nuisance.

now it only reminded him of her — her yellow umbrella, her bright smile, her twinkling eyes- standing on her tiptoes and leaning forward as she sheltered him from the rain, fingers softly brushing against his-

no.

sunjae shakes his head, letting out a deep breath as he tries to put a stop to the thoughts showering his mind with snapshots of her.

dropping his arms back to his sides, he opens his eyes and turns his head back towards the window, staring at the downpour-

and that’s when it happens.

a soft melody starts playing in his head, a melody shortly followed by a sudden flash of a bright smile, of the colour yellow-

and then a line.

The falling rain suddenly wakes me up

I'm lost in my thoughts about you

you seep into my heart again

sunjae has never officially studied music, never professionally gotten any lessons, but music has always followed him one way or another.

something, he thinks, his mother left behind, just for him.

maybe this was how he could get this restless feeling to ease — maybe he just needed to get it out and onto paper, onto something.

swinging his legs off the bed and on to the floor, sunjae sits up and reaches out towards his desk, pulling an old notebook and pen towards him.

he stops just as pen hits paper and wonders — was she like sunshine to him? or was she like rain? a sudden unexpected shower, a surprise downpour — a gift from the heavens, as it changes everything it touches.

he taps the tip of the pen against the paper for a moment, pondering.

she was a mix of both — his very own shelter from the rain; his light in the dark — while also bringing in a new beginning, a refreshing change that shook him to his core.

in those few seconds where his gaze met her bright shimmering eyes, his entire world had shifted — as the rain crashed down around them and seeped into the cracks in the ground, she had already settled into his heart.

mind decided, he writes down the first words to what would one day be a worldwide hit, a ballad to his first and only love:

i wished it would never end,

the day you first came to me

i hoped it wouldn’t just be a sudden shower

parrot in the farlands ep talking about allays being the most loyal thing ever as if he hasn’t had the most stupidly loyal bsf since day one 😭😭

[boku-no-anime-phase]

Some evil FMA AUs etc that I think are fun

Riza Hawkeye creating a squad of flame alchemists loyal to her and using them for her own (or Mustang's) purposes

Mustang's body used as a host for Greed instead of Ling's

Rose joins the military to try to watch over Ed, a la Hawkeye to Mustang

Sibling homunculi defect from Father together with Greed (bonus: to Ed's chagrin, they view him and Al as something like uncles); now they're all on the run from their dads

Ling not feeling easy in his own mind after Greed leaves - it's too quiet in there

Scar gets his brother's reconstruction arm instead

Winry gets adopted & trained by Hawkeye

Re-embodied Al donates his armor to a cat rescue so it can always hold cats hehe

Olivier as the boys' parent figure instead of Izumi

Found family for the boys comprised of Mustang, Hawkeye, the Mustang Gang, and Mustang's family (his "sisters" and Madam Christmas)

Mustang dies instead of Hughes, and Hughes carries on his work to honor his memory, despite not being as ambitious as Mustang was

The boys as Ishvallans

may 2025 be the year anri teieri gets the treatment (both in canon and by the fandom) she deserves amen

Just finished Annihilation and... I have never, ever felt so seen by a protagonist. Sometimes I like characters, but I treat them as a separate entity from myself. I have now had the deeply pleasurable experience of reading Lovecraft for Scientists and I want to bask in this awe forever.

Sitting here trying to figure out why I love Gale's cocksure confidence in his own ability and how it translates to this softer but equally as confident devotion to whoever's romancing him, and with this silly goofier side of him we often get to see that should be more awkward for how bookish and dorky it is, but really just ends up as stupidly endearing when paired with that cockiness.

And then I'm looking at pictures of my first video game obsession (Garrus Vakarian) and going "oh no"

Of course the "why doesn't Batman use his money to fix the system instead of punching the mentally ill" twitter argument is dumb and missing the point (Bruce is not a real person, he did invest a lot of money into helping people in need when he was still rich, it's an action comic, which means violence is going to happen and Gotham is not meant to be fixed, if it was fixed there would be no story), but these past few runs have deconstructed Bruce so much that the people of Gotham or public figures like mayor Nakano thinking Batman is a menace do actually have a point.

I mean, who has Bruce been fighting this entire run? Failsafe and Zur, two evil Batmen of Bruce's own creation. And even in the runs before Zdarsky it was kind of a running theme that Bruce wasn't fighting to save the city from an strange threat, he was fighting someone who had a bone to pick with him for one reason or another. I get that this is supposed to make the story feel more personal, but if you're also constantly asking the question "is Batman doing more harm than good?" then the answer might eventually be "more harm" if you had to be honest. A lot of the many recent takeovers of Gotham had nothing to do with Gotham, they were all about Bruce.

Superhero comics kind of need to have what their protagonists are doing to be helpful though. Of course Batman is not ever going to stop crime in Gotham. But if things don't improve at all or get even worse? Then what did Bruce and his family members sacrifice so much for? And if you seriously think their struggles should have been for nothing because the idea of heroes saving the day is stupid then why are you even writing superhero comics?

Cynical Reviews just dropped a video on an anti-choice propaganda film called "Unplanned" and I cannot believe the balls they had to blatantly lie like this. Actually, I can, because pro-lifers will eat up any anti-abortion propaganda you put in front of them.

I love how this movie deifies the protestors who stand outside of Planned Parenthood and scream "WHORE!!! MURDERER!!!" at teenage girls who are just there for a pap smear or whatever. All while making PP staff look like heartless monsters who laugh about dead babies and force abortions on unwilling girls. I honestly have nothing but disgust for propaganda like this.

One thing about me when I'm done watching something is: Looking out for the casts' IMDB/Google to look for their date of birth and their height (also their previous works).

"Damn. He's older than my parents??”

"Aye, I didn't expect her to be THAT tall."

"EXCUSE ME??? HE WAS ON THAT MOVIE? THAT CHARACTER???”

I like to play with the heights. For example:

That one time I found out that Jeremy Irons is taller than Henry Cavill, I was like "ALFRED IS TALLER THAN SUPERMAN???”

That one time I found out about OG Jurassic Park trio's heights; I didn't expect for them to be that tall, it just that they doesn't really have much on the height difference, bUT they all three are TALL tall.

The day when I found out Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds has the same height (this is prior to Deadpool & Wolverine movie). It was like— yesterday.

Robert Sean Leonard is taller than Sylvester Stallone. (Actually, I found out about it because I was watching Driven (2001), but then went to IMDB to confirm it)

Vin Diesel is "shorter" than I thought. I thought he's probably like 6'2 or something; but, no.

Etc.

Mirror, mirror, on the wall...

Cassie Sandsmark should get to be a sad girl again. She should get violent. Angry. Desperate. She should feel love and deep hate. She should decide never to forgive someone. Push some people out of her life.

She needs to feel a burning love, not necessarily romantic, which would make her do some crazy shit. She should be mad and furious and let her feelings guide her. She should reconnect with her emotions, and feel some real happiness with the people she loves. She should scream and shout and feel pain and punch some shit just for the sake of it. She should be emotional, driven by her feelings, and maybe even kill someone. And god does she need to kiss some girls.
