I love how when people write about the Miya twins they mention how supportive they are for each other. Like Atsumu is always supportive of Osamu with his restaurant going an extra mile just to mention on tv after winning a game or something like that. Osamu is supportive of Atsumu by having nights where he has MSBY games playing in the restaurant. He probably will even do a meet and greet for Atsumu at his restaurant. Like they argue and fight like its no tomorrow but they support and love each other so much

zam not understanding(/being willing to understand in that moment) why mapicc would be upset about him giving the blessing to minute is so awesome to me because i think zam does take mapicc/mapicc's loyalty for granted & i'm glad this actually has to come to a head. they are a little fundamentally mismatched in this department, i don't think zam has a very intuitive understanding of how loyalty works or what is expected of people in that scenario, it always feels like he has to force it when his natural inclination is to put his own needs first. i love this about him

Vi, sitting in the planning room before the battle starts: *sees/hears about machine herald Viktor and all the destruction and nudges Jayce like* "Hey at least it wasn't either of our faults this time!"

Jayce: flashes back to promising to destroy the hexcore and literally hours/days later using it on Viktor

Jayce: "About that......."

Thank you for writing ginzura fics ! I love them alll :D and do you open comms for the fics too ?!

Thank you very much for your kind words!!! ❤❤❤

I don't know if there are any Tumblr communities for GinZura. It would be lovely if there were any! Is there a general Gintama community on Tumblr?

Does Suns wish he had more emotions like everyone else? And how does Fish feel about Suns saying iterators are nothing more than bugs in a maze trying to find their way out?

yeah! that's why they pretend so much to be someone else

they try and try to be something they aren't So hard because what they are isn't Enough instead of focusing on what they do have and working with that. and then they end up in the hot girl summer arc

n how would Fish feel about that how... hmm, he'd agree. Fish is very focused on the Big Question, pretty much obsessed with it, to a degree that he proclaims he isn't part of any group in the name of banishing the possibility of falling to the Third Sin of Connection. he IS in the range of the Aeolus Root and Has to obey when the Eo senior orders him to do something, but he refuses to define himself as part of them all. only reason for his existence is figuring out that Question

(of course, he fails at complete eradication of all the Sins from himself, especially the third one. he still takes on Haboob as his mentee, he still listens and plays with the children that come into the lecture hall of the shrine, hell those glasses on his face are a physical evidence of him not being able to completely let go. but he refuses to see that)

his opinion might change on it a little after his big revelation and Tinkerer and her family. yes, they are still bugs in mazes, trying desperately to find their way out, but while they are in there they should get to bond and love each other. not be alone, he realizes

[monstersqueen]

anyway for the rest of the concurrent soulmates-system bsd au, so kunikida has dazai's scars (and dazai has kunikida's, but that never comes up) and chuuya gets to have every lie of dazai inked on his skin (and dazai has chuuya's, but that's a whole lot less)

(i fucking love the idea that it's very obvious to dazai's soulmates that he's theirs, but they can't be sure they are his unless he lets them know)

anyway the point is that the buraiha trio can't lie to each other (literally unable to lie to each other, not lies revealed via tattoos), but only in bar lupin, only when the three of them are present - which sure has some interesting implications about what went down in dark era ! - and also ? towards the end of the break up scene ? it broke. they could have lied to each other from the end of that scene going forward, but they never got to know that.

Dazai and Ango suspect, though.

the fun part though ? another version of it came back. by which i mean that dazai tried to lie through his heartbeats - something like 'it was your fault' or another cruelty - and he couldn't. Ango doesn't realize, but he wouldn't be able to lie through coded time-stopping messages, either. they can't lie to each other anymore - but only when they're communicating via codes. secret notes that are supposed to be hidden. morse code blinks. whatever communication they use as long as it's private. simply talking to each other, even in private, doesn't count, it needs a level of secrecy.

i kinda need to to dig into it, but it fits.

COULD YOU TELL ME ABOUT YOUR EEAU?!!! I AM SO VERY CURIOUS!!!

I ABSOLUTELY CAN AHHHHHHH I HAVE SO MANY THOUGHTS ABOUT IT ALWAYS. Premise is that after Dream blows up Logsteadshire, instead of leaving Tommy alone, he suggests to Tommy that they start over somewhere new. He leads Tommy to an even more remote location that this time no one knows about (not that Tommy’s aware of it) and after asking Tommy if it would be less painful if no one was allowed to visit him rather than having them constantly reject him by not showing up, and Tommy agreeing, he like. Bans people from visiting Tommy. This is not, however, what he tells the rest of the SMP - he actually doesn’t say anything for a bit because he’s busy destroying other teenagers lives (Doomsday also holy fuck i am so normal about eeau!tubbo or honestly just c!tubbo in general) but then after Doomsday of course Tubbo goes and discovers the annihilated Logsteadshire and like runs back and Dream insinuates that Tommy killed himself which definietly doesn’t devestate or at least shake up many people. But then people start talking and realize that like. Dream’s been manipulating and lying to them all this whole time and pitting them against each other. Philza in particular is like ‘why did we leave Tommy with the man who constantly expressed his dislike for him/set out to ruin his life�� and everyone was like . fair point. Queue manhunt for Dream where Dream loses his two lives and all of his allies and in a cruel twist of fate ends up with only Tommy for company!! Because stockholm syndrome babey :)))))) Plans backfired immensely for this man. (I did not forget about Punz well I did but then I figured out a way for him not to be there which is a WHOLE OTHER STORY basically Dream tried to manipulate purpled who went Nuh Uh and tattled to punz so punz fucked off and spat in dreams face on the way out)

QUEUE A YEAR LATER Ghostbur stumbles across Tommy in his secret exile spot (Henburgh) as Ghostbur has been searchign for Tommy’s ghost ever since he learned that he died. Eventually Ghostbur forgot he wsa looking for Tommy’s ghost and was just fixated on that he was looking for Tommy. Tommy however is scared of what Dream might do to Ghostbur/to him if he sees Ghostbur or finds out he was here, since he’s technically not allowed any visitors, so he sends Ghostbur away on an impossible quest. Ghostbur leaves him a small bit of blue that he then hides bc he can’t bring himself to throw it away, but unforunately nothing escapes Dream’s grasp for long and he notices :))))) It does not end well for Tommy, time for Logsteadshire pt 2. DURING THE TWO MONTHS THAT PASSED SINCE GHOSTBURS VISIT Wilbur is revived by Philza and Technoblade bc hella guilt and also Kristin hinted to Phil that Wilbur could come back and so Phil took the opprotunity. Wilbur however! Does not remember his time as ghostbur aside from very vague feelings and a couple blurry memories! But he feels VERY STRONGLY that there’s something important to the southeast of Techno’s cabin, and eventually that feeling grows so strong that he starts getting really anxious and upset about the fact he can’t go, so Techno offers to check it out fully expecting to find nothing. Only to stumble across Dream being HORRIFIC to Tommy during Logsteadshire Pt 2 and prompty going Oh Fuck No and bringing Tommy back to recover at the cabin.

Tommy does NOT appreciate this, and immediately demands to be taken back to Henburgh. Techno does not oblige. Tommy makes his displeasure clear but also mans now Traumatized as all hell so he also does jack shit to actually oppose the rest of the SBI. QUEUE FAMILY BONDING TIME AND SLOW HEALING. IT TAKES A LOT OF TIME AND EFFORT AND THERES OF COURSE MORE SHIT BUT I DONT KNWO IF I WANNA SPOIL IT CAUSE I AM WRITING THE FIC. But the main fic ends with Tommy having not fully completed his healing but having made progress in mending his relationships w his family and friends, specifically SBI and beeduo, and like starting to realize and come to terms that what he went through was wrong but it wasn’t his fault, and decide that he wants to fight to be better again. I’m definitely so normal about all of his healing arcs and the way he slowly starts to recover from his trauma and find himself again and discover that life is worth living and that love doesn’t have to hurt I’m really fucking normal. I could talk about this for hours I in fact have talked about it for hours with my sibling (shoutout to them for listening) there are so many details to all of this i thikn about it constantly I am packing so much symbolism into this baby it will be my magnum opus if i can ever fucking finish it

i love u wattpad users i love u deviantart users i love u livejournal users i love u ppl who keep getting told that the sites or apps they use are cringe or outdated or that 'no one uses them just use *insert site*' i love u

lol, bendy’s not entering a time machine and de-aging when he transforms into cartoon bendy... he just transforms. if he’s an adult as the ink demon then he’s also an adult as a cartoon. or, if he’s a child as a cartoon then he’s also a child as the ink demon. he’s not changing ages when he changes bodies guys you just gotta pick one

either the ink demon is a child speaking sultry to audrey (which would be wtf), or cartoon bendy is an adult whose just been traumatized with torture and likes toy trains. and i think i’d rather go with small bendy being a childish traumatized adult than the alternative, which is the ink demon being a big child with dialog that would be inappropriate for a minor,,

the demon asking audrey what her “sweet name” is in a sultry voice is the same as the small bendy with his train

(have you also considered: childishness/innocence and the devil are a trope in media, used to: 1. make the audience put their guard down 2. creep out the audience by associating false innocence with demonic possession 3. show how evil attacks and corrupts even the most innocent. that maybe giving cartoon bendy a toy and ‘innocent’ demeanor is a means to make the player let their guard down and surprise them when ‘innocent’ bendy is- surprise- actually ‘evil’ bendy, and not to necessarily denote his age)

I dunno if you think of the serpentine in the noms context, but if you do, I'm looking at you with my big ol eyes, because I do think post-redemption Skales has some interesting possibilities

No no listen I absolutely love Skales with my entire being and he should be allowed to eat people actually lol. I think he absolutely deserves to eat Kai actually. As a treat. It would be funny and Kai absolutely deserves it lmao

[vaguely gesturing to discourse buzzing on the horizon] there is no pure pristine culture to return to, we have to interrogate the ones we have and make our own

[tofixtheshadows]

I've been thinking a lot lately about how Kabru deprives himself.

Kabru as a character is intertwined with the idea that sometimes we have to sacrifice the needs of the few for the good of the many. He ultimately subverts this first by sabotaging the Canaries and then by letting Laios go, but in practice he's already been living a life of self-sacrifice.

Saving people, and learning the secrets of the dungeons to seal them, are what's important. Not his own comforts. Not his own desires. He forces them down until he doesn't know they're there, until one of them has to come spilling out during the confession in chapter 76.

Specifically, I think it's very significant, in a story about food and all that it entails, that Kabru is rarely shown eating. He's the deuteragonist of Dungeon Meshi, the cooking manga, but while meals are the anchoring points of Laios's journey, given loving focus, for Kabru, they're ... not.

I'm sure he eats during dungeon expeditions, in the routine way that adventurers must when they sit down to camp. But on the surface, you get the idea that Kabru spends most of his time doing his self-assigned dungeon-related tasks: meeting with people, studying them, putting together that evidence board, researching the dungeon, god knows what else. Feeding himself is secondary.

He's introduced during a meal, eating at a restaurant, just to set up the contrast between his party and Laios's. And it's the last normal meal we see him eating until the communal ending feast (if you consider Falin's dragon parts normal).

First, we get this:

Kabru's response here is such a non-answer, it strongly implies to me that he wasn't thinking about it until Rin brought it up. That he might not even be feeling the hunger signals that he logically knew he should.

They sit down to eat, but Kabru is never drawn reaching for food or eating it like the rest of his party. He only drinks.

It's possible this means nothing, that we can just assume he's putting food in his mouth off-panel, but again, this entire manga is about food. Cooking it, eating it, appreciating it, taking pleasure in it, grounding yourself in the necessary routine of it and affirming your right to live by consuming it. It's given such a huge focus.

We don't see him eat again until the harpy egg.

What a significant question for the protagonist to ask his foil in this story about eating! Aren't you hungry? Aren't you, Kabru?

He was revived only minutes ago after a violent encounter. And then he chokes down food that causes him further harm by triggering him, all because he's so determined to stay in Laios's good graces.

In his flashback, we see Milsiril trying to spoon-feed young Kabru cake that we know he doesn't like. He doesn't want to eat: he wants to be training.

Then with Mithrun, we see him eating the least-monstery monster food he can get his hands on, for the sake of survival- walking mushroom, barometz, an egg. The barometz is his first chance to make something like an a real meal, and he actually seems excited about it because he wants to replicate a lamb dish his mother used to make him!

...but he doesn't get to enjoy it like he wanted to.

Then, when all the Canaries are eating field rations ... Kabru still isn't shown eating. He's only shown giving food to Mithrun.

And of course the next time he eats is the bavarois, which for his sake is at least plant based ... but he still has to use a coping mechanism to get through it.

I don't think Kabru does this all on purpose. I think Kui does this all on purpose. Kabru's Post Traumatic Stress Disorder should be understood as informing his character just as much as Laios's autism informs his. It's another way that Kabru and Laios act as foils: where Laios takes pleasure in meals and approaches food with the excitement of discovery, Kabru's experiences with eating are tainted by his trauma. Laios indulges; Kabru denies himself. Laios is shown enjoying food, Kabru is shown struggling with it.

And I can very easily imagine a reason why Kabru might have a subconscious aversion towards eating.

Meals are the privilege of the living.

I'm thinking of turning this blog from only classpect analysis to just be the blog where I talk homestuck?

Like, I'd still do analysis (... sometime in the future. I'm working on it.) but also then I could talk (and maybe draw??) stuff for my AU that I've been working on for a while, or talk about my troll OCs beyond when their classpects finally show up in my askbox?

IDK I just want to do more stuff with this blog because writing these analyses takes up a casual 4+ hours to do all the making sure canon supports my theories (or at least doesn't outright disprove anything) part and recently that time of my weekends is being taken up by being Very Busy with homework (but hey, four years from now I'll be able to tell people I know what I'm talking about in regards to media analysis because I'll have a degree in that stuff, so, y'know, worthy sacrifices and all that jazz)

Uhm.

[tvmblrsillyman]

jokes aside it's sad that 5 years later 8tracks failed to do what it promised to do and even struggle to capture a decent audience after their initial shutdown announcement. they could've kept that legacy but instead the people who bought the site only alienated their audience and let the platform die with no reprise or community to mourn for it's death the second time.

🌟Don't vote without reblogging🌟

What about for several days? What if you lacked essential medication or clean drinking water for weeks? Months? What if you lacked the money for baby food and diapers? Because this is what many of the Palestinian people are dealing with.

Kariman Duhan (@karemandohan1999) has asked me to share her story with you:

I am Kariman Duhan, a Palestinian teacher and mother of a 17-month-old baby. My son, Ayman Alwan, graduated from the University of Business Administration with honors, but due to unemployment, he worked as a fisherman until the war came and destroyed our fishing boat, our source of livelihood. I created a donation campaign with the goal of helping us provide basic needs such as food, medicine, cleaning drinking water, and clothing, and to collect funds to evacuate Gaza. But the matter became complicated because of the lack of internet, and I cannot communicate with people to ask for donations, which is difficult. I had set a goal of 50k, but have now reduced it to 20k. We want to reach 20 thousand then stop the campaign. This will help us to repair our fishing boat, and revive the fish wealth in Gaza to reduce the famine. We are overlooking the beach and if we repair our fishing boat, we can eat and sell fish and provide for others. I really hope you can help me get my message across to people and help me, thank you ��️

Kariman's campaign has been up since July 11, and we are currently at $11,330 of the $20,000 goal, with only $30 raised in the past 24 hours. I would like to see to see that amount raised to a minimum of $150 a day. Let's see what we can do!

This fundraiser has been vetted by 90-ghost.
