the captive prince series got new illustrated (!!!) covers and while they are beautiful and laurent looks wonderful, i am devastated they made my beefcake damen into a twink

im not gonna make the other post yet (bc it takes me a lot of time to elaborate it take screenshots etc lol) but i need to post immediately about this part in regards to the "starting over" post i just did because

i find it deeply fascinating that dee tries to get dennis to his senses by saying "it's me". you know, it was me, it was always me. I'm dennis, I've always been dennis. you're still you, you've always been you.

on one side, someone faced with so many lies he wants to end everything.

on the other, someone trying to remind and explain to them that they're still the same person they know.

it's a big risk for dennis to finally be honest about how he feels, because it implies he's been lying the whole time. how can he be trusted to be truthful Now?

idk just thinking

why can't "cozy games" have an interesting premise like why do all of them have to just be story of seasons. A cozy game can be dragons and maiming and biting surely

I’ve never been tortured but I imagine it must feel like finding a really good fic for a fandom that none of your mutuals are in and having to have an emotional meltdown all alone over it

life is hard being the one Elf Power fan

Shen Yuan getting transported into pidw isn't "the system punishing him for being a lazy internet hater," but instead representative of "step 1 of the creative process: getting so mad at something you decide to go write your own fucking book" in this essay I will

I think you might have been a father to me, once.

You used to be more than just another man who hurt me in my life.

Translation notes for Miseinen: Mijukuna Oretachi wa Bukiyo ni Shinkochu / Our Youth ep 2

At first, I tried dipping my feet in just a little. But then the waves swept away the sand beneath my feet and at some point, I was swept away into the open sea.

You... Menthol cigarettes are lame, huh… Maybe I should change to the same stuff you smoke.

By the time I'd realised this, I was already floating close to you.

He's been poisoned/influenced by Hirukawa.

Majima has his own will; it's not all just Hirukawa's fault.

Ahh, that was quite a lot (of homework).

Seriously though, it's better if you don't get close to Hirukawa.

It's better not to get close to anyone.

All he plans to do is (to continue making unprofitable art films).

Don't purposely go and live your life in such an inefficient manner.

I told you not to have anything to do with me, did I not?

After the bookstore, come to my place (for a bit).

What reference book did you buy? Modern literature. That's impressive. Note: The modern literature book that Jin picks up is probably the one that he asked Kento to recommend him while they were studying together.

Ah, but if you put it this way... I can see (that you're his son).

This film affirms all of them.

So in order to prevent the waves of suffering from surging forward towards the person/people who is/are important to him, the protaganist stayed in the sea to stand watch. Note: Haruki uses the same verb (mihatte - to stand watch) when describing his choice in staying with his father instead of leaving with his mother.

I don't want to be like that sorta guy.

Do I look pitiful?

My mum and I are close, but she remarried pretty quickly after leaving my dad.

Your mother is pretty cruel too, huh...

Isn't that too quick (for me to like you)?

Because you said (I wouldn't be able to kiss you), so (I'm doing it).

Even if I try to distance myself, I find myself attracted to him.

Other language notes

codtwt is going off on brainwashed!soap bc of his new warzone skin and it’s making me think of ghost deliberately getting himself captured by makarov bc he knows he’ll be given to his dog to try and break him; knows he won’t be able to resist the irony, the cruelty of being tortured by the teammate he lost

he doesn’t fight; welcomes the chains around his wrists and ankles, welcomes the hands stripping him of his weapons and gear until he's defenceless

he wouldn't use them anyway

when he stalks into the room, the muzzle, the scars, not even the blank hatred or lack of recognition could make him mistake his eyes

that's his johnny

he doesn't flinch as he digs knives into his skin; would never shy away from his kiss even if it's tinged with rusted steel. doesn't swallow his screams; not when he always loved hearing him, when he spent so long coaxing his voice from the grave

frustration joins the anger in johnny's eyes the longer he goes without giving up information

just jokes; dark and puns alike

just advice when he can't get the jumper cables to spark right

ghost's not trying to escape; not trying to barter his return to the 141

he's right where he wants to be

[yo-yo-yoshiko]

Haha, idiot. That's what you get for having human emotions :'((((

And a closer shot on this one cause I LIKE THEM TREES!
