cellular sentiment | ceedee lamb ꨄ ii
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/5833b3fbe68796a2bde806fd4c02d6cb/e8b6d54981791158-7a/s640x960/a4124b3eed5f04f2d653367ffd3d0d0ed154517c.jpg)
you sigh and unlock the door opening it only enough to peek out and low and behold its cedarian with a big goofy smile on his face and a bouquet of flowers in his hand.
your face is blank as you stand there processing the man in front of you.
“well i guess you know why i turned off my location.” he laughs nervously breaking the silence.
moments pass, your heart is beating a mile a minute and your brain cant form a proper sentence. you see his smile begin to fade and it suddenly brings all the words back into your being.
“yeah um its cool, im sorry um c-come in.” you stammer stepping out of the doorway so he can enter.
he cautiously steps inside the door closing it behind him once inside.
“i got these for you.” he says shyly reaching out to hand you a bouquet of pink lilies and you cant help but smile.
“thank you so much, howd you know lilies were my favorite?” you say happily accepting them.
“ you said you lilies were your favorite flowers because your mom always grew them.”
“oh my, no way you actually remember that God im about to cry.” grabbing an old vase you have sitting on your island. “please sit down, make yourself at home.”
you go into the kitchen and fill the vase with water, carefully unwrapping the flowers and a note falls out.
“when’d you get a coffee table?” you hear him call from the living room.
“uh, last week it was on market place for twenty bucks.” you call back opening the note.
‘ may these bring you the same joy that your friendship brings me - cee ‘
you smile and place the note in your pocket of your gown for later.
“damn only twenty dollars- i swear you always find the best stuff on there.” he says and youre brought back into reality.
“yeah, dumb luck i guess.” you said going to the stove and removing the steaks that were searing and placing them on a cutting board to rest. you open the oven and check the potatoes making sure they were still cooking as you wanted them to before closing it and heading into the living room.
he is sitting on the small velvet burnt orange love seat you have and you sit in the recliner diagonal to him. you cant help but stare. it feels like some sort of weird dream- him being there in the flesh.
this time it was you who broke the silence, “this is crazy.”
“im sorry, i knew i shouldn’t have just came here out of nowhere without warning. i just really wanted to see see you. in person you know. like with everything going on with the team and all. i-i dont know. i just thought this would be a good little escape, talking to you always feels like one i figured being with you here would actually be just that. i dont know i-im sorry, i can leave.” he rambles standing up.
“no, please stay.” you say getting up and grabbing his arm. he’s warm to the touch and you cant help let your hand linger there. “i didn’t mean it like that i just meant its crazy that im actually like meeting you finally. like it doesnt seem real- you dont seem real.”
his eyes bore down into your own and he suddenly places a large hand atop of yours, “it feel real though, right?” he quizzes and you nod.
“thats all that matters then.”he smiles.
and just as quickly as your nerves had came they vanished in an instant. he was right- it was real.
“yeah, youre right.” you say gently pulling your hand from under his and sitting back down and he follows in suit.
the silence is no longer awkward its akin to that of how you would sit on facetime when he was watching film and you were reading before bed.
“so did yall actually lose?” you question.
“what do you think?” he says flatly and you laugh.
“damn, sucks to suck.” you say getting up and going into the kitchen grabbing an oven mitt.
“wow, thanks for the sympathy.” he says sarcastically. you shrug and pull out the potatoes smiling at how crisp they were.
“perfection.” you mumble to yourself.
“what?” he says appearing behind you causing you to jump.
“nothing God dont sneak up on me like that, fuck.” you exclaim sitting the pan down and removing your mitt.
he ignores you, “hmm, looks burnt.”
your roll your eyes, “aint burnt and it aint for you, you sassy fuck.”
he laughs and sits at one of the stools by the island, “im just playing, looks good.”
you smile at the compliment and pull out your two nicest plates- thrifted of course and begin plating the meals.
“damn no paper plates tonight, i feel special.” he laughs.
“only the best for you lord lamb.” you say placing his plate in front of him.
he laughs and pops a potato into his mouth and you watch for any signs of disapproval, satisfied when you see none and take takes another.
as you begin eating your steak you hear him moan and your eyes shoot over to him.
“this good as fuck.” he says mouth still full and you giggle and nod chewing your own food. the rest of the dinner is silent aside from his occasional moans of approval.
“where you going?” you ask as he gets up grabbing your plate.
“to do the dishes.” he says as if you should have known that.
“thats sweet but no. i can do them just sit them in there.” you motion at the sink and to your dismay he continues on against your wishes.
you sit there and watch as he does it finally taking a moment to take him in. tall, lean and extremely handsome. his locs are pulled up in a sloppy bun and he donned a grey cowboys sweatshirt but his sleeves were rolled up. you admired the tattoos that dances up his wrist and disappeared into his clothes.
“i look good or sum?” he smirks and you do your best to keep a straight face but internally your screaming. “you look alright.”
“damn just alright?” he laughs and for your sake you just change the subject.
“so you wanna spend the night?”
he abruptly stops and glances at you and it feels like you may have said the wrong thing.
“im sorry, not like that or nothing like you can take my bed. you know its just late and you dont need to be driving on 20 right now.” you ramble trying to explain yourself.
“nah, yeah i get it i just aint expect you to offer. yeah ill spend the night!” he says turning off the water. “you can have your bed too, i know you got work in the morning.”
“boy you got practice tomorrow and you just literally played a game tonight i think ill be fine on the recliner.” you protest getting up from the stool and going over to the recliner.
“dont piss me off we been doing good, just get in the bed.” he say following right in suit behind you.
“cedarian you aint nobody damn daddy.” you huff sitting down in the chair.
he rolls his eyes before lifting you up and trudging to your bedroom.
“what the fuck cedarian put me down! im not playing put me down! ” you cry as he finally throws you onto your bed.
“hush, now go to sleep.” he says heading back towards the door.
“wait, come lay down at least. you can at least lay here till i go to sleep.” you say just wanting his presence near. he doesnt protest he just comes and plops down on the side opposite of you.
“thank you.” you mumble switching your lamp off and turning back to him.
you both lay in silence mere inches separating you and you cant help but yearn to close the gap and fall asleep in his arms. his smell is enticing and inviting. he is everything you thought he would be and more.
“goodnight cee.” you mumble shaking yourself of your thoughts.
“goodnight.” he says throwing an arm over you and pulling you into his chest.
you could only basked in the bliss of his body on yours momentarily before your subconscious fell into your state of rest.
some more lil fluff for yall💋 worry not smut will ensue soon!

'Just let me look after you'
ˏˋ ꒰ ♡ ꒱ ˎˊ Word count: 1.6k Warnings: its just pure smut Content: Talking to Eren about why you don't hook up with anyone anymore leads to something unexpected
You and Eren are sitting on his sofa with a film playing in the background as you are deep in conversation. 'why do you sleep with so many girls' You blurt out, the question making both your eyes widen. Eren was known for sleeping around, his bad boy demeanor and piercing green eyes practically screaming sex.
But to you, he was your best friend and roommate who was caring and kind. He always had a soft spot for you, making sure you were well cared for, buying you food and taking you shopping. He secretly loved how whenever you were upset or just feeling down you would come into his room asking to cuddle or just be in his company until you felt better.
'well why dont you sleep with guys?' he ask in retaliation. A plush pink now covering your cheeks at his question.
'oh there's a reason?' he pushes after seeing your expression 'come on pretty girl spill'.
You refuse to keep eye contact as you attempt a reply 'it's embarrassing ren'
Eren only lets out a chuckle at your shyness ' come on baby it cant be that bad. What are you a virgin?' he pushes even more, now teasing you a little.
'not quite'
'not quite?' he questions back his brows furrowed with confusion.
'I have been with guys but it's just not been what I thought' Eren nods signalling to continue 'I never finish' you finally blurt out. His lips are pulled into a cocky smirk but his eyes are soft and caring as he looks down at you.
'never?' he asks the redness on your cheeks spreading knowing you're about to expose yourself even more.
'I mean sometimes when you know I'm alone but never with anyone else. I always assumed I had some issue so I just stopped'.
He lets out another chuckle at your innocence, 'Love there's nothing wrong with you, it's probably because you've only fucked with boys what you need is someone who puts you first like a man.' he simply states and you don't know why but a sudden wave of confidence flows through you after seeing the hunger now filling his eyes clarifying he's thinking the same thing you are.
'and your a man huh?' you ask biting your lip 'is that what you are?'
'I mean they always come back' he shrugs as he leans in a little closer than usual. 'you want me to show you why?' he breathes out in your ear his left hand now cupping your right cheek, you can only nod in response. And a sudden feeling of a pleasurable pain begins to gather in between your legs. 'let me take care of you' he says before bringing your plump lips to his in a slow wet kiss filled with passion and anticipation. your hands are quick to run through his long brown hair pulling lightly at the roots as he bites and sucks softly on your bottom lip. Before you can even think his right hand now moves to your thigh a whine escaping your lips when he gives it a squeeze allowing him to explore your mouth fully. The tension and apprehension is new to you, when usually it's all rushed and over before you can even think to sit and enjoy it. Even for Eren who normally rushes into it takes his time with you, he wants you to feel everything.
The confidence still high in your system you push into him and moving so your straddling him. His hands now grabbing your ass as he moves down kissing your neck, biting and sucking on the sweet spot as you release sweet sounds. your hips instinctively move back and fourth against him, the bulge in his pants now growing as he lets out a groan in pleasure.
'You going to let me make you feel good baby?' his hand now finding the waistband of your shorts. the only coherent word leaving your lips being his name. 'fuckk your so wet baby' he moans out as he rubs his fingers against your clothed cunt. too caught up in the pleasure your dont even notice him moving your panties aside and gathering some of your wetness and then going back to circle your clit. While he continues his work on your neck, he carefully picks you up, your legs wrapped around his waist 'lets go to my room yeah' he breathes out. The thought of you being the first and only girl who he's going to fuck senseless on his own bed goes straight to his dick which gets even harder.
Once he's sat you down on his bed he's taking off his top exposing his toned chest and abs. Your eyes scanning all over his body in particular the defined v-line leading down to his dick which you now see is pressed hard against his joggers. When he's stripped down to his boxers he comes over helping you take off your top and shorts. the anticipation getting to much for you, pulling him down ontop of you and meeting his lips with yours. His fingers back down in between your legs
'I'm going to make you cum so much tonight baby, need to make up for lost time' he says before his fingers go deep into your seeping cunt.
'f-fuck ren' you let out as you squirm underneath him. his fingers curling in you hitting a spot in you never been touched before that has your head thrown back into the bed and your nails scratching up his back.
'you gunna cum for me princess' you nod in response not able to think about anything but the way he's making you feel. 'God your so good. look at me mama look at me when I make you cum' Eren says his other hand coming up behind your head his green eyes piercing into you. You hold onto his arm hard your nails dinning into his skin, and try to keep eye contact as his fingers hit that same spot and the coil in your stomach threatens to snap, and when it does what a sight, your legs shaking and head thrown back against the pillow. Eren slowly takes out his fingers watching you whimper at the sensitivity and then places them at his lips sucking on them 'You taste so good baby, I can't wait to put my head between those pretty thighs' Eren practically moans out, his fingers going to your mouth, you open up sucking his fingers his eyes rolling back at the sight of your fucked out state.
You reach out to his boxers but he catches you wrist saying 'later baby right now all I can think of is fucking that pretty pussy'.
'please ren I-I need you' you whine out as he begins taking off his boxers exposing his dick. 'Eren I dont think that will fit' you say sitting up on your elbows, your hand wrapping around it, your thumb rubbing circles around his leaking tip.
'fuck' he moans out throwing his head back. 'it'll fit baby dont you worry you pretty little head just lay back, Just let me look after you, I'll make you feel real good' you follow his instructions laying back down while his hands find your thighs again so he can spread you out even more. He stares at the sight of your plump lips and your wetness now covering your thighs,
'please' you beg and instantly his tip teases your entrance moving up and down through your slick before slowly entering you. you both moan out at the feeling, 'tis to big ren i-i cant'.
'nuh uh baby you can. it is so warm and tight, fuck.' his thrusts quicken as he watches how your cunt just sucks him in clenching as he praises you. 'oh god you feel so good fuck' he groans throwing your legs on top of his shoulder thrusting harder into you reaching spots that have your legs beginning to shake and loud moans coming out your puffy lips.
Soon enough the tightness in your stomach returns 'ren 'tis so good'
'I can feel you squeezing me love you gunna cum again for me?' he moans out his hand reaching to yours placing it on your stomach where you can feel him moving in and out of you. 'you feel how deep I am princess, so so good for me.' his words only making the coil tighter in your stomach and before you know it your cumming around him as he cums deep inside of you. His thrusts slow letting you both come down from your high.
He's quick to go into the bathroom bringing a wet towel to clean you up then coming to lay next to you. 'your beyond perfect you know that right mama' he says looking at you cuddled into his chest. When you look up at him batting your lashes and giving him the cutest smile he's seen he understands it all. He understands why he refused to bring girls to his place
so he wouldn't see you and lose all interest in the girl he was with
Why he would always think of you when being sucked off
because your lips are so soft
Why he wanted to spoil you
because he wanted to be the source of your happiness
He only ever wanted you and the look in your eyes clarifies your shared feelings. You bring his head back down to yours in a slow kiss and he knows he won't hold out long before he's hard again.
'round two?'

saw traps in order and whether or not i would survive them
saw iii
classroom trap - jesus fuck. i think i might just die here. like. i probably Could. but i don’t know if i would even have the willpower? like i feel like i would rather just explode. survivability 2/10.
angel trap - yeah i’m getting out of here. i’m no bitch, and i would dunk my hand in that jar real quick and speedy like, and then get right to work on the lock. i could hype myself up real quick, and honestly, i feel confident that i could shake off the acid and not even cause that much damage to my hand. survivability 9/10.
shotgun collar - i am not a doctor. so this is a little iffy. but i honestly feel like i might actually be able to pull this off without getting shot by that thing. i will manually make his heart beat beat. i’ll give that nasty old man mouth to mouth for as long as i have to, and then i’ll brush my teeth for seventeen minutes straight to get the taste out. i also think i could do a good enough diy lobotomy that the pressure on his brain would let up at least a little. i think with that he would survive long enough for jeff to get through his traps, but if that’s looking iffy, i have a backup plan. i’m seducing amanda and i’m going to get her to let me out of the collar. we’re most certainly getting yuriful in there just for fun no matter what, so i might as well weaponize it. backup plan three i also think i could take the collar off without detonating it. cant be that hard. i have a small head. also, i’m not letting amanda shoot me at the end because again, she would be in love with me by now. all things considered, survivability 8/10.
jeff’s box - yeah i’m breaking out of here no problemo. does this even count as a trap? i don’t really care. survivability 10/10.
the freezer room - i’m wiggling out of those chains even if i have to dislocate my wrists. but also i think i would be able to convince jeff to let me out a lot quicker. i’m pretty tolerant to the cold, and also my beautiful nude body would be so attractive to jeff that he would forgive me for not stopping his son from dying and set me free. survivability 8/10. as jeff, there’s no real threat to me here. i’m saving her and getting out just fine. survivability 10/10.
the pig vat - WHAT THE FUCK! WHAT THE FUCK! WHAT THE FUCK!!! OH MY GOD. this shit is fucking foul. i just heated up my grilled cheese and this is what you show me. i mean obviously jeff chose kindness and let him out eventually but jesus. i’d probably kill myself afterwards out of disgust. survivability 7/10 (considering the suicide probability) but i would never eat meat again. as jeff i’m letting him out way quicker, having a little bit of a hard time putting my hand in the goop, but ultimately escaping with both of our lives. survivability 10/10.
the rack - OW! OW! OW! jesus FUCK! they are not playing with these nasty ass traps! i would not survive this. what the fuck. my head and limbs are so getting ripped off. fuck my stupid life. 0/10 survivability. as jeff i’m fine. lickety spit i’m pulling the key off with my head far out of the way. 9/10 survivability (just in case i somehow fumble and get shot.)
eric matthews bathroom trap - yeah he seemed to have an easy enough time of it and i’m way smarter than him. it was clearly way easier than the initial bathroom trap. and i wouldn’t beat up amanda or be a cunt about all of it because i’m niceys, so therefore she wouldn’t kick my stump leg and leave me to die. 8/10 survivability.
jeff’s final test: i’m nice so i would not kill him and thus would not be trapped to die. i would leave and call the police so they would arrest him. i’m not stupid. survivability 10/10.
overall film survivability considering 9 traps (but 12 individual people’s chances when put through said traps) 7.5/10. nasty ass movie and nasty ass traps but i’m built different.

Spoilers for Catching fire of the Hunger games series, if u havent watched it dont read.
Rewatching the 2nd hunger games film, Catching Fire for the first time in a years here r my thoughts chronologically, & I've got a lot to say about this one:
- They actually show Katniss's PTSD, flashbacks and nightmares.
- Gale being a "nice guy", christ hes a an sh*tty
- watching them back to back, they recast the cat!!!
- Snow is a fabulous villain.
- CINNA 🥰
- Caeser Flickerman's banger theme tune!
- The camera's interview is so awkward
- Effie deserved Katniss snapping at her on the train
- Peeta acknowledging that he cant hold her to wot they did to survive in the games! Peeta's already way above Gale. Peeta king 👑 of communication.
- just asking each other their favourite colour is adorable
- The Mockingjay!
- Peeta offering to talk to make it easier for Katniss
- Peeta giving Thresh & Rue's families some of their winnings. Katniss's speech about Rue is beautiful, I'm sobbing
- I love district 11, f*ck the peace keepers!! That poor old man! Haymitch: Who's going to protect them!?
- Haymitch knows better than anyone that you never escape the games.
- Jennifer Lawrence is fabulous
- Haymitch cares about them so much, we love him.
- Katniss barely holding it together on the victory tour. She looked so horrified at the little girl saying she would volunteer just like Katniss did.
- Caeser Flickerman has no right to be so iconic.
- Peeta is amazing! I love him and Katniss
- Does Effie have to say Mahogany in every film?
- Peetas disgust at the Capitol compared to what people in the districts are going through.
- I love the politics of catching fire
- Seneca decided to stop breathing - Plutarch
- F*CK GALE!!!! SHE DOESNT HAVE TO LOVE U ROMANTICALLY FOR BOTH OF U TO SAVE UR FAMILIES!!!!! Gale's right about rebelling, but he isnt even trying to understand her trauma.
- I love the anti corporal punishment, pro riots/rebellion, f*ck the police message of catching fire
- Peeta without question helping to save Gale cos he's not selfish
- Prim being a great nurse!
- I don't think Katniss has ever had any romantic feeling for Gale, he's just her best friend at most, a lot of the time he's barely that, she would've thrown herself in front of that whip if it was anyone she remotely cared about.
- The trauma of all the victors. Haymitcch is right they're not winners, they're survivors. Nobody ever wins.
- Effie actually kinda realizing the games arent the honour shes been indoctrinated to think they are.
- Katniss didnt ghetto say goodbye to Prim 😭
- Finnick & Maggs!!! We love them.
- Finnick Odair 🥰
- The Capitol is even more perfect in this one
- Johanna Mason is iconic and fabulous
- Wiress & Beetie r great
- Maggs is the sweetest
- Transition from Seneca Cranes hanging body to Caeser Flickerman's banging theme song!
- The Victor's interviews are very persuasive & interesting, they each show a lot about the characters
- Slay Johnnana!!! Make him pay for it
- The costumes in this one is a step up from the first.
- the fact she knows that Cinna is in danger for the Mockingjay dress
- Peter "We actually got married" Mellark, Peter "If it werent for the baby" Mellark
- All the Victor's holding hands in a show of unity
- CINNA 😭 (Jennifer Lawrence was amazing in this scene)
- The arena is beautiful
- finnick: oh Sh*t Katniss might actually love Peeta.
- THE FOG ,, MAGGS!! 😭😭
- Tick Tock The arenas a clock
- PEETA! JOHNANNA!
- bye bye district 12
I love this film, for me, it's my favourite in the series.

i cant stop thinking about guard dog brian.. like he considers himself tim and jays attack dog and their guardian angel, watching them from afar as he gets more and more fucked up and more and more obsessive
i like to think that hes more protective of jay then tim, partially because hes still upset at tim, but also partially because jay is a complete idiot who keeps getting into trouble but cant hold his own in a fight
im just. hnnnng. him putting himself between jay and a threat literally growling and snarling and he scares everyone, including himself i think thatd be really neat
that would be sooo neat oh my god. him failing just once to protect jay though, and that urge to guard would get even stronger. at that point i dont think he would be so far away, i think he would put himself right next to jay and making sure he was safe everywhere he went.
jay of course would have no problems with any of this, until the hooded man starts trying to keep him from investigating. then we would get jay trying to escape and go to the woods, thinking hes so smart for outsmarting the hooded man and getting away in order to continue filming and searching for clues. brian naturally knows exactly where he is still, but lets jay think he doesnt if it means he can keep a better eye on him.

Causes of Death & Propaganda Under the Cut:
Gamora
Cause of Death: Thrown down a great height
Propaganda:
Ugh okay, I know the writers bring her character back, but that is a past Gamora who does not even remember her recent team mates, the Guardians of the Galaxy. And this new Gamora does not show up till 7~ movies later. I absolutely hated watching Gamora die and then the movie showing her abusive dad crying over her, after he physically and mentally abused her for years and literally murdered her "for the greater good". And then of course her boyfriend Peter hear the news and has a mental breakdown. His sadness is so great that the good guys are unable to stop Gamora's dad and thus Endgame happens. I completely understand if you don't want to add her, I just wanted to give her a shot. My anger really stems from Gamora being an abuse survivor, then has to meet up with her abuser who murderers her in cold blood. Especially since she was one of the main characters in Guardians of the Galaxy. And I get the feeling that the writers for Infinity War/Endgame were not in communication or agreement with the Guardians of the Galaxy writer since GotG's writer had to bring her back out of nowhere for his story to work.
Gamora was raised to be a living weapon and she escaped her abusive life and found a new family who loved her and was even repairing her relationship with her (also abused) sister. Her murder was ALL ABOUT her abuser and how he felt sort of conflicted about throwing her off a cliff - and then all about her boyfriend and how upset he was about her death. Like I even liked her and Peter's relationship, but she also had her sister and friends and we never get into how her death affected them. We never get into how horrific her death was or how tragic it is that her life was cut short and what a waste to the universe it was because she was such a hero. It's just about the men's feelings. Ugh. (also yes technically she was brought back from a different timeline, but it's also very clear that Gamora is a different person, with her own story, and that og Gamora is dead and never coming back).
Killed off for Thanos and Quills man pain and for no other reason.
Natalia Romanoff
Cause of Death: Self-sacrifice to get the Soul Stone
Propaganda:
[No Propaganda Submitted]
Jane Foster
Cause of Death: Cancer
Propaganda:
her getting fridged in love and thunder made me so mad because 1. The movie was about her! I know it's a Thor movie but they literally advertised her as a female Thor. And her conflict about her own mortality is at the core of the film. 2. She dies for not just one man, but two men's character arcs! When she dies, it serves as a redemption for the main villain, and it shows Thor a lesson about how being with her wouldnt make him happy. Because she literally died and now he cant be with her! And because of her death, the villain decides not to kill all the gods. So it could have been a self sacrifice except, oh no! She dies from cancer! A completely arbitrary death!

Sherlock and Co has no right to be this funny
There's this funny scene in I think The Gloria Scott Pt2 where Sherlock and John are discussing some kind of phrase and John explains it something like this (bare with me I don't have this thing memorized)
"[...] For comedic effect."
"But nobody laughed."
LIKE I WAS GONNA BREAK DOWN LAUGHIBG IN THE FUCKJN TTC YOU CANT DO THIS TO ME SHERLOCK
I was listening to this bc I had to take a bus down for a field trip we were going on but I heard this and a laugh just escaped me oh my God.
Also you can never get enough of the existentialism in Gloria Scott Pt2 like bro. They had me thinking about memory and identity and I'm like 🧍♂️bc I'm walking to the place we're going for the trip (it was a film festival btw) and I hear this and I'm like. What. What the fuck.
Also nothing beats hearing Sherlock Holmes describe exactly how you see the world but in words. Nothing will ever top the validation from canonically autistic Sherlock
-
In other news, Sherlock and Co remains to be the ONLY podcast I can actively say I like (ever), I'm not a podcast guy and baaaaarely an audiobook person but man. Nothing beats the atmosphere of that podcast and the editing is tip notch. You know it's a good one when *dramatic violin*
The theme song is so catchy hekejejdjdkdkkdkr
Uhhh yeah pls go listen to it and or read the transcripts bc it makes for a good accompaniment but yall. This podcast is FIRE. Sherlock Holmes is great but I've genuinely never related to a character more wtf
Anyways, falling into that fixation phase again!
#posts#sherlock and co#ive been catching up on episodes of the podcast bc i almost forgot about it#lemme tell you its WORHT ITTT#the real question remains whether i should review each podcast episde on my film journal meant for films n stuff#because i want to be Peak Annoying#like ive already done it enough when i wrote 2000 words of tgamm analysis#or 800 words of lucifer analysis#bro probably diagnosed me mentally with the tism before he found out for real (documents and ieps and shit)#so like. he LOVES when im obsessed#i may or may not choose to be annoying about this podcast on PURPOSE#WILLINGLY

i thought i was going in prepared but i was not prepared cw for talk of shootings because thats what the movie revolves around.
obviously no i am not a tcc person nor do i condone shootings i feel like i shouldnt have to say this but alas. anyway if you choose to keep reading please do so with caution and stay safe
this movie was recommended to me by an old friend of mine and i decided to give it a try. it's on youtube for freebies and it's relatively short, just 80ish minutes, so i figured i'd watch tongiht and .fuck. i've watched zero day as well and honestly ive always considered that movie to be really well done in terms of its style and the message it's trying to convey, but yk. i cant really be vocal about it since tcc freaks are all over it like ants or perhaps flies. anyway i went into this movie knowing that the subject matter was similar to zero day but i was genuinely not prepared for this at all
i think a lot of it comes from identifying way too much with matt. theyre making a student film about getting revenge on a gang of bullies, and theyre the kind of kids that are like. really aggressiveand violent with it idk thats the best way i can describe it. and i feel like.. the red flags were there but people just didnt clock it until it was too late. and by then, like. the damage was already done. and i know saying 'oh i relate to matt' is suspicious but i mean it more in the way of how he just straight up loses his grip on reality. and how he doesn't even notice until it's practicallytoo late for him. and when he does notice it's so clear how frightened he is. and maybe im just hella projecting but i think the bullying they faced affected matt really badly and his escapism was through movies. he's got shit like uhh. pulp fiction, requiem for a dream, thats all shit that was posters in his room. and then he's making logos for his film that are riffing off of other films, like back to the future, and star wars, and shti like that and. owen talks about how matt acts like he's in a movie all the time, cameras or not, being totally fucking crazy like he's acting in a movie and how he doesnt know when matt is being genuine or if he's just acting, and. jesus man that hit home. like i think a lot of it is just that i have Movie Autism i fucking love moveis and so seeing all the movie references made me really relate to this guy but also the fucking escapism that devolves into delusion and being unable to separate that from reality and not even knowing who you really are anyomre. that part hit home i think. and i just look back on how fucked up i was as recently as a year ago and i think to myslef thank god i noticed. like, thank god i was able ot realize what was happening before i totally lost my grip on reality. because the part where he realized that he fit the exact definition of the way dave cullen described real life shooters that i will not name (they read an excerpt from that book! with permisison from cullen himself. idk i just think it's interesting and says a lot about the writers of the film that they reached out to thewriter and asked permission to read an excerpt in their movie. idk) and the fucking genuine emotion when he says that to owen and then owen just does not care what if i started sobbing right now
im surprised at how. idk. theres a scene at the end where he does kill someone, and i was expecting it to be like a total bloodbath (again, my only frame of reference is zero day which i havent watched in. idfk a year) but no. and yet somehow it's so much more impactful than the end of zero day. because he starts chasing after his friend and when he has him cornered and owen is fucking frightened and genuinely i think matt just doesnt Get It. he doesnt understand. and he goes 'what are oyu doing? its me!' adn fuck dude i know im reading way too far into this but like . hes saying that hes been like this the whole time! and hes confused why owen changed on a dime ebcause to himthis is the next logical step!! fuck!!!! and the worst part is i knew it was fucking coming adn yet i was telling myself no way. no way.
will i watch it again? probably not the whole way through, because i did just straight up start sobbing (and i've only cried atlike. two movies? three maybe?) and it fucked me up. but my god that movie was fantastic. if you're comfortable with the material it goes over and are able to stomach it, i do highly recommend it. fuckin hell what a film
#fuck dude#never taking movie recs from that guy again#(lying thru my teeth my movie recs are exclusively from that guy)#tw school shooting#tw shooting#<- for filtering purposes. hopefully it works

i genuinely think what makes so people uncomfortable with marnie is that the film stays with her the whole time and shows misogyny from a woman’s perspective and she’s not just victimized by a man and discarded…. she continues to occupy the center of the film and there’s no formal ending to her story really so the thought of what’s going to happen when the camera leaves is so anxiety provoking to a viewer.
when a movie is from a man’s POV it’s so much easier to feel distanced from misogyny and you can just watch like Oh that was wrong!…but i’ll move on and marnie NEVER gives you that relief or escape. NOTHING is easy in marnie and the way the man is shot so that you can’t tell exactly how you’re supposed to feel about him, whether he’s a genuine love interest or a villain forces you to realize that that’s what marnie feels too! that’s what men are! theyre human beings and you can’t just look at one in real life and go oh easy that’s a villain. that’s another person and you cant immediately tell how much harm they are capable of inflicting on you or where their limit to harming you is, if they end up having one.
#such a formally incredibly directed film in the way it makes you question your entire position as a viewer#Are you complicit? Are you a victim? YOU ARE IN MARNIE.#Hitch’s look at the camera like yes i set this all up… but YOURE the one watching it for entertainment#I UNDERSTAND THOUGH if you don’t want to watch it because of the directors misogyny though. I’m NOT trying to make anyone like it#I believe he made very crude offensive remarks about how he wanted to see the rape scene so obviously he was not coming from a good place#I can’t help finding it all so interesting though#it just seems so intentional that you’re able to identify with marnie but maybe i’m just too much of an empath

bones and all + generational trauma
p.s lots of spoilers for the film in here !!!
this film is one that will never leave u. a breathtaking combination of utterly perfect writing, directing, acting and producing. i dont remember the last time a film made me cry as hard as this one did. ive seen many different interpretations of this film in various corners of the internet and wanted to write about them.
one of my favourite outlooks is that the characters' indescribable need to eat human flesh translates to generational trauma. both central characters (maren and lee) suspect they inherited it from one of their parents, and both were severely let down by them. maren was abandoned by her mother before she was old enough to remember her, and her father refused to tell her anything about her mother (and eventually abandoned her, leaving her birth certificate for her to find). lee's father was a drunk who snapped one night and hit lee and his younger sister kayla, and then tried to consume lee after kayla left to get help; revealing that he, too, was an 'eater' - the term the characters use to describe those with an uncontrollable urge to eat other humans.
the main story of the film focuses on maren and lee travelling across america together to find maren's mother based on the information on maren's birth certificate. maren tracks down her grandmother, and learns that she adopted maren's mother after she was found outside of a firestation as an infant. this insinuates maren's mother was abandoned because one of her parents knew what she was, knew that being an eater was passed down in generations and did not want to shoulder the burden - and ends up doing the same to her own daughter, abandoning maren with her father. maren's grandmother tells maren that her mother admitted herself to a mental health hospital.
maren reuniting with her mother is a harrowing scene for me to be honest. the suspense makes your hair stand up on the back of your neck until the camera eventually pans round to show maren's mother with two stumps instead of hands and wrists. this woman locked herself up and then ate her own hands ?!?!! we know from sully (a creepy old man eater who essentially stalks maren) that the need for human flesh only increases as an eater ages, so maren's mother has been driven slightly mad by this. the nurse gives maren a letter her mother wrote 15 years prior, in case maren ever came to see her. the letter is absolutely heart breaking. it ends with maren's mother trying to eat her in a desperate attempt to remove her from this world because she knows the pain of being what they are in it.
afterwards, maren and lee fight in the parking lot. lee tells maren their options are to eat people, kill themselves or lock themselves up like maren's mother. and maren states 'im not going to be her'. that was my OH moment. she sees what this condition does. and she decides, in that second, that she wont let herself be victim of it anymore. she wont continue the cycle. she wont release the trauma onto others the way her family has, which has only resulted in her taking the majority of the pain alone. and she deserves it. she never asked for it, cant control it, and it consumes her (sorry for the pun). in this scene i couldnt feel anything but joy for her. that she was choosing no.
and her and lee try SO HARD it nearly kills me. they do, they get a flat and get jobs and are happy. but in That Scene, that fucking scene, it all comes crashing down. they tried so hard to escape the cycle but it (sully) finds them anywhere and when it does, every scrap of happiness is wiped from their lives. its so unbearably tragic. they left it behind them, they chose no, they chose happiness but the universe was simply not kind enough. generational trauma cant be banished forever. it can be repressed and ignored but never gone forever, and it can and does destroy them.
this interpretation is not only found in maren and her family though. its very much found in lee too. his father was an alcoholic, hit him and tried to eat him alive. it would be quite impossible not to discuss lee when investigating themes of generational trauma in this film. lee takes his father and leaves him tied up in a barn for three days while the police investigate him. when lee returns to the barn, he could tell his father 'knew' what was going to happen, knew he was going to be eaten, so clearly lee got this condition from his father. i think lee is different from maren in the sense that he showcases how generational trauma can bring out the bad in those affected by it. he literally ate his own dad. maren, at first, was not angry with her mother, she wanted to know if she was alive, if she could give maren answers about their condition. but lee killed his father, using the pain they both bear as his method. he uses it against him, he turns it violent.
lee also has kayla to worry about. his little sister, oblivious to the fact that her father and brother are cannibals. she tells maren that her father ran away after hitting lee and herself - a lie lee told her. she also says that lee has spent almost all of the time between then and the present away from home. it's not stated, but it's my belief that lee did this to protect her. at the end of the film, sully returns. we learn in his first encounter with maren that he keeps a braid of the hair of all of his victims. he is actually soooo creepy it makes my skin crawl. EW !!!! anyway, after he's dead and lee is on the floor suffering from a stab wound, he picks up the braid that maren took out of sully's bag and sees kayla's hair on it. makes me sob every time tbh. he realises that it was all for nothing. he tried to hard to protect kayla from this, but in the end it destroyed them both. generational trauma can severely impact the relationship between siblings - trying to protect them but in the end you can't. it is so sooo sad.
all in all, it is a beautiful film. this is my own personal favourite interpretation, but i do appreciate some others too. i just love this one and wanted to gush about it online. anyways thanks if anyone reads this and makes it this far !!!

okay here we go. Episode 1. Pilot. Hehehe…
seagulls… foreshadowing?? also I’ve seen a lot of Scrooge and Stan comparisons so let’s see what occurs. wonder when his trauma will/when it happened….
DONALD DUCK!!! OH HE CARES ABOUT HIS NEPHEWS…. HE SOUNDS SO FUNNY AND CUTE… WHERES THE BLUE ONE? oh shit the blue one is fucking up the boat…. Oh he tried to escape…. damn. THEY LIVE ON A BOAT!!!!
oh these three are going to be so disappointed in this guy at the beginning… HUH.
DAVID TENNANT IS FUCKING SCROOGE MCDUCK!?!?!? I THOUGHT HE WAS A FUCKING. SIDE CHARACTER OR SOMETHING. YOU DIDNT TELL ME THAT EMBER. WDYM HE’S SCROOGE MCDUCK—I CANT—I CANTTTSYBSUSHSHSHWH UNCLE?!?!?!?!? HES THE FUCKING GREAT UNCLE?!?!?!? OH I LOVE THESE GUYS WDYM EISBSUBEUWBEWJSBEJEN
“I AM THE RICHEST DUCK IN THE WORLD!” “YOU’RE WELCOME!”
ah so he’s disillusioned from the riches of the world because he’s been in the nitty gritty shit. doesn’t see the joy anymore and the kids are gonna change that. calling it now….
he counted the marbles…………… and they were kidnapped…
oh nvm they’re fine. green hoodie foreshadowing… also where the FUCK are we webbY??? oh nvm explained. I gotta stop writing down every single thought man……also this guy DOES have trauma I fucking knew it…
oh he’s so fun. why. HE’S SO CUTE WTF. so weird to think that he was filming good omens and ducktales simultaneously. fuck
does webby not go to school.
oh so donald is a retired loser. hell yeah
so MUCH MAGIC SHIT
NO GET BACK YOU’RE OLD
OHHHHHHHHHFUCKKKKKKKKHES. OH. OH HES. FUCKING. THERES YOUR HEAD. WYDM. OH. OHHHHH SHITITJRBEUEBED DN HESSOOOOOOOOO??? SCROOGE PLEASE????
oof dragon.
it’ll take more than a bruised spine….!!!! NHYAUGHHHHHHHHHHHHH
love how the triplets aren’t the ones doing the stunts but thought of them and let the expiernced guy do the work. idk why but. it’s nice. ALSO THAT DUCK DID NOT LAND ON THAT MONEY SMOOTHLY. TF????
GOOODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD HE MISSED TROUBLE I FUCKING CANT. SONOF A BITCH. OH THEYRE GOING TO ATLANTISH FROM EARLIER. NO ONE TELL DONALD. FUCK. OH OKAY DOUBLE FUCK DONALD’S JOB IS A TIE IN—
okay that’s episode one holy shit. how did I fall in love with duck david tennant so quickly. damn. these guys?? oh I love these guys wtf. webby. I love webby. the green one is my favorite rn. Scrooge and Donald have history I just know it, as well as the old lady duck whom I have not gotten the name of nor what she actually does in mcduck manor. last one; I’m guessing that the season finale/later arc/maybe even next episode is going to have the new duck gang try and tell Donald that his employer is evil and only wants his help with Atlantis, and Donald is gonna HATE that because this job is finally what’s getting his family afloat after so long unemployed. (probably has something to do with Scrooge’s infinite wealth because it’s strange that they did shit together and Donald got nothing? (Also a pretty unique dynamic—uncle and nephew adventuring together…. there’s definitely something deep there) he’ll think that his nephews are just trying to get him to quite because either they miss him, are jealous, or want their old life back. I don’t know. Donald’s over caution is also definitely a result of treasure hunting. Maybe definitely. I don’t know
okay OKAY true last one; the tricks mention when Donald gave up the kids. no tricks no nothing. that’s important isn’t it…. hm. anyways BEST THING 10/10 YIIPIE!!!!
RHIS WAS WODNERFUL TO READ YESYEYS FBSKHDKSJDJD . I DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT BITS TO RESPOND TO BUT EEEEEEE. ALSO YEAH IT ALSO SURREAL ON MY END TOO LIKE HI SCROOGE MCDUCK AKA CROWLEY PLEASE DONT COMMIT ATROCITIES. ALSO THE GREEN ONE IS LOUIE AND YEAH HE IS SO !! I CONSTANTLY FLIP BETWEEN WHICH IS MY FAV OUT OF THE TRIPLETS BUT HE WAS MY FAV FOR A GOOD WHILE !!
#the guys (with a z!)#yeah i should start tagging things#im soso glad youre enjoying this#💜💥‼️💥🎉‼️🎉💥‼️💥🎉🌈‼️💥🎉🌈‼️💥🎉💥

I’m so glad you like them!!! I was really nervous about talking about them but I needed to get it out cuz none of my friends know I’m freak 😔. I absolutely adore them! And yes, mrs Williams having a first husband that Andy reminds her of!! I think he died, I’m not sure how, but I think that they already had kid together at that point and mrs Williams was desperate to get remarried so she married a man who had a good job who could provide for her but she had no real love for him. Then it was all for naught cuz he loses his job and they have to move to a ‘seedier’ neighborhood. I think however, that the time that Andy and her spent together was very beneficial for the both of them, not only just In the obvious way but also bc Andy is, at first, very sleazy, kind of a dirtbag but thru falling for an older more ‘sophisticated’ woman he learns that he wants to change, he wants to be a better man not only for her but also for his brother. He’s still kinda sleazy but he gets better. And on mrs Williams end I think thru having an affair and disobeying her husband, finally doing something for herself she become a lot more whole. After that summer I think she divorces her husband, moves away, and lives out her life a lot happier. It’s still very melancholy for the both of them but I think at the end they’re a lot happier and a lot better off after everything.
Enough rambling about them!!! It’s time for fucked up brother sister dynamics!! I honestly want her to be a lesbian, I think it would be really good for her. I think after the bachelorette party Annalise has a lot to come to terms with, she deludes herself for a while that she wasnt into it bc that’s Wrong, and that it was just a way to get back at her brother. She goes into full comphet mode and gets a sleazy grimy boyfriend who’s like 24 or something. She hates him so much tho and breaks it off after like 2 months. Annalise does eventually move away, goes to college, comes to term with her lesbianism, cuts her hair in a panic over her first girl crush. All that jazz. But I think her brother still haunts her sometimes. She’s mostly come to terms with it by now but after all, he’s still her family, she still has to go home every winter and see him and his wife. WHICH!! Btw let’s talk ab the wife!! I think her names some very basic name like shelia or something. She’s the real tragedy here, cuz while Annalise escapes to the Big City TM shelia can never!! She’s stuck, forever a wife, forever a daughter, forever a mother. And she hates it!!! But there’s nothing she can do! So she jsut has to sit there, picture perfect wife, over thanksgiving staring at the one woman who made her feel something. Staring at her and whatever girlfriend Annalise has brought over,, thinking about that night.
this reply is so late but trust!!!! i’ve been thinking about this constantly…… im so happy you wanted to share them with me :,) 🤍
GOD I LOVE MRS WILLIAMS AND ANDY….. and her desperately wanting to remarry as fast as possible to make sure she and her child are provided for…. and then the new husband loses his job and they have to move to a worse neighbourhood. god it breaks my HEART. she’s everything to me i want this to be a film so bad. & andy and his brother. god… and this affair being a trigger point for both of them, with a happy ending but not a happy ending together. but like. melancholy like you said. oh it’s so sweet ……
FULL COMP HET MODE AND SLIMY BOYFRIEND I KNOW THATS RIGHT…….. moving away and cutting her hair when she tries to figure out her identy/has her first crush on a girl . we’ve all been there… god i love her. and yeah, its still so complicated because she cant ever fully get away from her brother. that’s still her brother. she’ll still see him, and maybe they’ll regress to their old dynamics whenever theyre under the same roof, and GOD !!!! you’re so brilliant. AND SHELIA !!!!!! THE FIANCE !!!!!! the real victim !!!!!! shelia can never escape oh God. doomed to be a wife, a mother and resenting it. SHELIA ILL SAVE YOU……. the image of them all spending thanksgiving together and her watching annalise and all her girlfriends, thinking back to that one night where she felt alive. oh it makes me fucking sick to my stomach.. alexa plat good luck babe chappel roan …….

“the giant white unicorn in the room.”
so some stray thoughts on YBC. i will be brief here and SPOILER ALERT- i will not be answering any questions that are not answered by the videos themselves.
one of the few things we agreed on as a band growing up were these stories that united you with others in imagination- films where there is a sense of something beyond- something that forced you to think, to consider that maybe it is something darker or bigger or stranger than you had seen before… we thought of the unicorn in blade runner or the alien in alien (who is possibly more terrifying because of what you dont know rather than what you do (in the first film)). i love the idea of “the force” in star wars- it cant really be explained yet it fully consumed my youth- then when they came out in the prequels and described the midichlorians - it kind of stole the magic for me- it was less than i had imagined, not more. that is why we decided not to make what was being carried so literal and tangible- it would mean if you thought of something else we wouldve literally taken that away from you… ‘brad pitt voice’ “whats in the box, whats in the box?!” that being said we also knew that it couldnt be something like “oh they were carrying around "hope” all along or something that had no face or visceral quality"…
enter Xibalba
we thought of the world that the young blood chronicles had created- there arent true “heroes” in the traditional sense of the word. there are people who are forced to make heroic decisions and the people that make them often make other decisions that are not heroic or are often in fact anti-heroic. there is a gray scale to this story. one mans salvation is, and often creates another mans despair. the idea that the past can trap us- all of us… and the only way to escape that is to break the pattern. at what point are we saved? at what point have we done enough good to erase all the bad from our ledger? can someone who has been terrible their entire life change it with one heroic turn? can a hero make a terrible decision and cast themselves into hell?
the idea that we carry around what we fear most… that we protect that thing we fear… that maybe in order to destroy something terrible we must become something more terrible. and can we love something that is both great and terrible? what is our threshold? at what point do we stop protecting the person or idea we fear the most, cast them aside and step into the light? the answer is different for everyone and so it was different for every character in YBC.
another idea that we focused on was that sometimes in order to fight something so big and dark you need to get your hands dirty- fighting fire with fire (as was explored in films like terminator 2 and dark knight)… the world we chose to create and populate for YBC is not too dissimilar to the one that exists as far as the complexities surrounding morality. when is it ok to accept the lesser of two evils? when do we draw the line? when do we say someone is too broken to be fixed? all of these questions are interesting to explore and i think have analogs in the real world.
all of the images in the YBC were choices, decisions that were made to add depth and texture to the story… I'm not sure that heaven and hell were meant to be real- but they both allowed the viewer to see alternate universes with in the world and allowed or forced characters to undergo drastic transformations… to me it is akin to having humans travel to another planet (as in pandora in avatar or the planetoid in Aliens)… it pressurizes the drama and allowed it to take place in a vacuum.
this was never supposed to be simple. it was never supposed to be easy to swallow. in much of frank darabonts work it is not the terror of the end that is people undoing- it is in fact the human conflict- jealousy/prejudice/anxiety that tears the group a part…. what we decided to focus on was what could bring a group like that back together.
that which tears friends apart can drive them back together.
in the end it all flows pretty easily in my head whether it be different metaphors (biblical, entertainment industry, etc) or just a simple story. but maybe thats cause we wrote it, because i was there. in the end whatever it means to you is the right answer- i have nothing that trumps that.
i think this is all i really have to say about any of this. thanks for coming on this journey with us.
never silence the noise.
some films/stories/music i would suggest checking out that inspired us:
bladerunner (directors cut specifically)
dark city
the lost boys
do androids dream of electric sheep (book)
Drive (film)
Stand By Me
the fall (film)
terminator 2
over the edge (movie)
the mist
the lanoliers (stephen king- short story)
kavinsky- OutRun (lp)

FIRST EP OF TSUMA CLEARED... GODDDDDDDDDDDDD WHY IS KEISUKE SO CUTE HE'S GOT ME SQUEALING THROWING A FIT KICKING MY FEET CLAWING AT MY FACE TEARING MY HAIR OUT RIPPING MY SHIRT OFF [<- CUTENESS AGGRESSION] [NOT EVEN EXAGGERATING I DID ALL THAT] [ALSO REGULAR AGGRESSION. CAN YOU STOP SAYING INSANE SHIT IN PUBLIC]
The music is so lovely too... and the direction and set dressing and Overall Production... chef's kiss... ALSO THE LITTLE GIRL WHO PLAYS SHIRAISHI IS SO TALENTED WHAT THE HELL WAS ANY OF THAT... Tsutsumi is amazing though for real, he makes Keisuke seem so much older post-timeskip and it's wonderful to see his old self starting to show again EVEN IF HE IS. BEING A DUMBASS. Huge fan of Tsutsumi playing depressed motherfuckers... I LOVE Takae though... I understand why he was so obsessed with her I get it...
See this is why I can't be too hard on Akira I'm a grown man acting the same way about Tsutsumi😭😭😭I'M GLAD YOU LIKED FIRST EP... THIS IS A RELIEF... Yoshizawa is a nice young man don't worry about him <3
ALSO THRILLED TO HEAR YOU SEEMED TO ENJOY THE MOVIES TOOOOOO ACAB except the team and Ogata nobody does terror|sm like you king... I wish more Tsutsumis could escape prison and/or death But Fair Enough... Oh and this is what Ogata's letter says if you were curious, it's manga only:
Inoue, You weren't crazy at all, in my eyes. You'll make a fine SP. An SP is a police officer in the Metropolitan Police Department Public Security Bureau assigned as a full-time bodyguard to people who don't deserve protection. That job description assumes they are, without exception, willing to throw their life away in a crisis if it means acting as a shield for those people. That's what it means to guard another's life.
ALSO at one point Tsutsumi was at a panel for something else and a couple members of the audience were being unruly and trying to get on-stage to get to his female co-star, but he and another co-star held them off... I think he actually fell off the stage in doing so but he was fine and he joked that SP would start filming that day... I love himmmmmmm
NO THAT'S WHAT I MEAAAAAN HE'S SOOOOOO CUTE IT DROVE ME INSANE I LOVE HIM SO MUCH (;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)(;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)(;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)(;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`) 'tsuma' was the first tsutsumi show i watched and the impact it left on my brain was monumental... i loooove keisuke so much i cant stress that... SO IM GLAD YOU WATCHED THE FIRST EP IM GLAD YOU GET TO SEE WHAT I MEAN !!!!!!!! CUTEST OLD MAN EVER I PROMISE !!!!!!!
nono maida is SO good considering her age, i was so impressed with her performance throughout the show... AND YEAH TAKAE IS AMAZING she really is an epic woman, no wonder keisuke and mai cant let her go (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ) unfortunately 👁️👁️;;
OH BUT YEAH THE SHOW'S SO CUTE SO FAR I JUST FINISHED THE SECOND EPISODE !!!! tachibana looking right RIDICULOUS but its cute (❁´◡`❁)
AND THANK YOU FOR SHARING THE LETTER MAN so real.... i love that..... chaotic good kind of behavior i fucks with him.... he's valid in my opinion for his methods.... nishijima was lame anyway...
poor tsutsumi at that panel tho im glad he protected his co-star and im glad he was able to make light of the situation- im mortified for him but id also be totally mortified if i was one of those rowdy people like please be civil hes a guy just like any other guy (;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)
#long post#snap chats#i could go on a mile-long ramble about tsuma its so cute......#its so funny tho ep 2 onward because its like. its SO awkward because he's the definition of Wife Guy but he CANT be a wife guy cause...#yk..... FUCKED UP but hilarious too#fr tho i was so happy at the end of the first ep when mai and keisuke realized she was telling the truth... oh my god... that was precious.#AND THEN ALL THE KIDS PULLED THEIR EMERGENCY STRINGSLGJRAJLVKAJ STOP THAT WAS FUNNY#LIKE VALID BUT ALSO LMAOOO#if you continue watching i hope you enjoy the rest of the series as much as i did !! it gets REAL good#its already good ep 1 but it gets even BETTER and UGH. i should rewatch it...#OH BUT AtR !!!!!!!! ITS SO SWEEETTT ive never had the experience of having a crush let alone on someone older#but the trope seems cute from a distance-so long as the older party is. Not A Freak obviously#theres a certain innocence in it yk what i mean.. i cant explain it but when It Isnt Freak Shit its cute#so im glad this anime's being cute with the trope instead of weird and gross#KONDO IS A VERY CUTE OLD MAN I UNDERSTAND HER BUTTERFLIES hes so silly..#AND IM GLAS YOSHIZAWA ISNT A JACKASS HE'S FUNNY AND A DORK#he needs to chill but he's just enthusiastic so i cant be mad... Give Her Space but also He's So Ernest#ah but yeah with SP..... ogata's morals are based- when he couldnt protect ohashi anymore i felt so bad...#i also like characters like that- characters that want to do whats right so bad but cant for one reason or another#even MORE based when they start to do Cracked Shit to do good.... amazing.... 11/10....#IN ANY CASE.... EP 3 OF AtR TIME !!!!!!!!!
