#me and my com obsession

[whyarewecalledtheshipname]

just losing my shit at the way CoM "introduces" this concept of a good luck charm that sora wears which denotes the image of a necklace but also simultaneously conflates the charm with kairis shell charm but it's also part of a fake memory about receiving it as a child but also the memory is actually not completely fake but sora goes to sleep wondering who the shell charm is from and also who it reminds him of

And then kh2 further confuses things with the fuckin little mermaid ass-pull parallel about necklaces that are also good luck charms so like we still don't definitely know who sora's good luck charm is supposed to represent-- whether riku or kairi-- or even if the CoM memory is alluding to the shell charm or sora's necklace--

But then the answer to this whole mess just goes unspoken in the entirety of the kh2 ending-- from sora's reunions with his friends down to the last scene of the game

An entire ending sequence to the game which is so transparently, /clearly/, about sora and riku

Down to sora asking what the light was--perhaps the very same light that namine spoke of back in CoM--that glimmer

Only for riku to point at sora's chest, obviously intended to refer to soras heart, yet sora places his hand over his /necklace/

It's. It's riku. Ofc we knew it was riku that this whole charm shit was about but ughhhhh

Like. I am. So sleep deprived over this shit 💀💀💀

NAMINE ANALYSIS NAMINE ANALYSIS

I really love Namine because she's such a great balance of "I want to do good but I'm constantly being forced to do bad" but also "I am willingly doing fucked up things for my own self-interest."

Namine is being forced to mess with Sora's memories by the Organization who is threatening her with harm and imprisonment, but part of her wants to do it because she thinks it's the only way she can cure her loneliness and find love.

When she gives Sora the option to either retain his Castle Oblivion memories or give them up, and he naturally chooses to give them up in order to regain his old memories, despite her smile her dialog/body language/line delivery give off the impression that she's genuinely bitter and hurt that he didn't choose her, despite how unlikely that scenario was.

DiZ puts Namine under a lot of pressure to complete Sora's memory restoration even at the cost of people like Xion and Roxas, but Namine basically admits herself that if given the choice, she'd rather do these terrible things to them than to Sora, even if she sympathizes with them and tries to give them some agency in the matter. She essentially chooses Sora over them, and why wouldn't she in her position? She made a promise to him, and he's her ticket to redemption and friendship.

This is a character who genuinely wants to be a good person and do good but whose circumstances are so overwhelmingly hopeless that there's just no way she can accomplish that completely. A girl who wants to be an angel but who falls on the way up every time. And I think that's neat.

AN UPDATE on me showing my partner Marble Hornets for the first time and their batshit insane takes on the series/characters. We got to 76 last I remember. Here’s everything they’ve said for just the new entries we’ve watched between now and the last post:

- The entry where we see Tim’s body cam POV after him and Jay get attacked by the operator in Rosswood:

- “Slenderman uses his dead body dimension to grow mushrooms

He’s really interested in the conservation of this really rare strain of mushroom, that’s what the dead body dimension is for”

- To Tim: “if shit sucks, hit da bricks”

- After Tim gets in his car and drives the fuck outta dodge: “Oh he’s going on a lovely little road trip, he’s just like me fr”

- “You know marble hornets is just a series of bad decisions made by film majors, which is the original bad decision” (implying that the characters being film majors was the initial fuck up and NOT Alex deciding to kill all his friends on a whim)

- During Tim’s panic attack in the same entry: “You know, panic attack aside, I think I’d really enjoy peeling all the crumblies off that dry wall”

- “Hacking coughing licking iPad crying baby”

- “I do appreciate how his arms and legs are out of the way of the body camera in lieu of his panic attack, thank you for that”

- As Tim is taking his anti hallucination meds: “Don’t over dose. Oh it’s just one, you’re probably fine. Wait why are you taking another one? Not even a bottle of water? It’s why you’re coughing. Don’t take a third one! DO NOT take the whole bottle, that’s how you die! You’re not gonna die of slenderman related causes, you’re just gonna die of stupid!”

- Upon seeing Tim find Hoody’s messages on the walls: “ “Follow meeeee!” It’s like that one snowman in the phineas and ferb holiday special. My brain loves referencing obscure media”

- After Tim passes out trying to break the “he is a liar” wall: “Ok, takin a nap.”

- “You go mentally ill queen!”

- About Alex: “Why does he look like John Darneille????” (Context: they are obsessed with the band The Mountain Goats and because of tism face blindness they are convinced Alex shares a striking resemblance to frontman John Darneille)

- “Slenderman is a HORRIBLE parent!!”

- “Alex is a high school nerd who would get shoved into a locker!” “I would argue Jay is more of a nerd on that regard” “they’re both nerds shoving each other into lockers!”

- “Ok he theoretically knows how to fight, but that doesn’t mean he’s good in practice”

- The entry where Jay and Tim follow Hoody around the abandoned hospital:

- “Hoody’s like if Santa was really sinister”

- “He teleported to the next house to give all the good little boys and girls their evil tapes!”

- Seeing Alex tied up: “oh are we getting kinky?” “Hoody is literally trying to kill him” “hot”

- “You know, if I was in my hometown and slenderman was there, I’d be pretty mentally ill too”

- “How many holes do you think slenderman has?”

And finally (for now until we finish the end of MH):

- “I don’t think slenderman would survive long in federal prison”

1000 YEARS OLD (2023, THAILAND)

Episode 1 (Premiere on Gagaoolala)

February 14

What is this...exactly? A rom com. A Supernatural Rom Com?

Pun (NUTCHAPOL CHEEVAPANYAROJ aka SHANE) is a mysterious young (old) man that carries an umbrella and eats blood at a local outdoor eatery. He keeps to himself.

Yoh (KRITSAPATORN NAPAWIWATTANAKUL aka OPAL) sees the mysterious Pun and is immediately captivated at first seemingly because they both eat this "blood" dish of course Pun consumes alot more of it. Yoh seems to want to beat the competition so he orders more...to go.

But after Pun introduces himself, Yoh is even more enamored (but why?)

Yoh rents the room not far from Pun (even though it's said to be haunted)

And the two strike up a tentative friendship. Yet Pun is somewhat suspicious of Yoh's intentions...

WELCOME BACK TO BL SHANE (he played Frong in Season 1 of MY ENGINEER)

IM GOING TO TALK ABOUT ALHAITHAM AND KAVEH AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!

i love this fuckin argument kaveh and alhaitham have on the port ormos bulletin board

it's one of those instances where kaveh and alhaitham are arguing and alhaitham is saying that like, while he disagrees with kaveh lol, he also doesnt deny theres truth to what kaveh says.

but i also think it's funny how alhaitham is like "end of conversation. ALSO-" like bitch you kept going IMMEDIATELY fkjsjfklds and then that stupid bit where theyre like "he said this" "he did not fucking say that" "he did" "no he didnt fuck you" "he did give me a month ill prove it!!!!" THEYRE FIGHTING LIKE CHILDREN ON A PUBLIC MESSAGE BOARD😭😭😭

also i have this one bit stuck forever in my mind from kavehs hang out

[video source i screenshot from]

MAYBE im reading into it way too much bc i have terminal haikaveh brain. maybe. BUT!!!! art is subjective i can do what i want :^) anyway i think a lot about this part because TO ME it sounds like kaveh keeps assuming the worst from alhaitham - makes sense, they argue all the time and they def have a turbulent relationship. HOWEVER!!!!! while alhaitham does like poking fun at kaveh and gets annoyed with him dskjfdsklf i FEEL LIKE theres an implication that he like, does not enjoy seeing kaveh suffer the way kaveh just assumes he does.

like here, kaveh is like oh, youre not hoping to see me make a fool of myself are you >:(?? just bc alhaitham was like. in a location unexpectedly. lol. and then alhaithams phrasing is just so specific where he like, doesnt say yes but doesnt say no either lol. hes like "oh so you think i get joy from seeing you in pain day in and day out? well if that were true id be entertained always because youre always in distress"

but like. I DUNNO MAYBE IM BEING STUPID BUT JKSDLFJDKL to ME it felt like he was deflecting the question. to be fair it was a silly question so maybe alhaitham didnt think it worth answering lololol but like "are you here to watch me struggle" "why do you assume i enjoy you struggling" is the vibe i get. but then with bullying also bc alhaitham is still poking at him and his distresses lol jdkslfdskl

and then like the moment the traveler is about to be like "kavehs feeling sad" and kaveh tries to deflect it, i personally think alhaitham managed to come up with a distraction to get kaveh to walk away for a minute so he could hear about kavehs troubles bc hes IMMEDIATELY LIKE

ok now that hes gone tell me about kaveh and his issues. and then goes on to explain kaveh and his behavior

and there are SEVERAL INSTANCES i mean this is an obvious thing lol but like, many such cases where kaveh and alhaitham will be like "yeah this guy is incredibly smart but his personality is fucking unbearable" i just enjoy that as much as they rag on each other theyre still like "no he is a genius though im not gonna deny that" AND ALSO [help]

alhaitham says stuff like this a few times, i think hes got a teapot line or so where he says similar things 🤔 but hes like "yeah people go about their lives doing different things and thats fine everyone should stay in their lane as long as theyre not disrupting the lives of others" AND YET!!!!!!!!!!!! he and kaveh endlessly fight with each other on how they go about their lives. trying to get the other to see their way of thinking even though i think they both acknowledge [or it says somewhere in the lore that they do] that it is a losing battle bc theyre both really set in how they see things and their methods of doing things. I JUST FIND IT REALLY INTERESTING that alhaitham is like, "mind your business and ill mind my business what ever bye" but when it comes to kaveh hes like. no actually i have to debate you. the way you feel isnt wrong however your actions make your life really hard for yourself and you could be living better if you changed" like he cannot stay in his lane when kaveh is involved!!!!! and like the whole reason he's even IN the parade of providence event at all was bc he was pursuing a thread of research that he figured out was connected to kavehs dad and his disappearance!!! mister "i dont want to get involved if it doesnt disrupt my life" got involved to give his boy some closure on the haunting of his dead father!!!!!!!!!! I am going to explode now goodbye!!!!

I watched Lily Simpson's analysis of the trans Two-And-A-Half Men episode, and I'm sorry, but it's hilarious and iconic that Bill's old name was Jill... like it sounds so absurd and completely unrealistic if you're trans, but honestly, that's just a power move 😭
