#oh thats a lot of words....

[kerizaret]

/pos

OK so.... this is... very vibes based but....

Kwiat Jabłoni's re-interpretation of Eldo's "Miasto Słońca" (City of Sun) is THE wxs song to me. It's so hard to put in words. Bc it's just about this. Love and dreams and wanting to see the world together...

So many of my thoughts are just feels but I'll try explaining. Also amateur translation so beware

The first verses are like. Not anything in specific. It's just about the day passing well, "moving forward like a good movie" (?). But smth about life as a movie (show/play). I'm pulling at strings here tho /silly

Niewinny czarodziej leci witać się z chmurami [An innocent wizard flies to greet the clouds]

Brudny chodnik kilkanaście kilometrów pod trampkami [Dirty pavement several kilometers under [their] shoes]

Now this is very Emu Ootori to me. Emu the innocent dreamer whose head is a bit in the clouds (feet not touching the "dirty ground", smth about her chasing her dreams and ideas without realising the hard/technical problems of it at first. If that makes sense). But also she loves and loves everything about the world and treats it with this kindness and excitement.

Also. Shao (and Miles = her grandpa). "Sorcerer and apprentice" team name. Yk, the whole magic/sorcerers imaginery

Zbieram okruchy dnia, łączę wszystkie w całość [I collect crumbs of everyday, put them together into one]

Słońce świeci dzisiaj dla mnie jak co rano [The sun shines for me today like every morning]

This feels like Tsukasa to me.

Tsukasa putting a bit of himself/his daily life & feelings into his roles to make them "whole" (that one verse is actually smth like "i merge them all together into something whole" but that sounds awkward so i went with "put tohether into one"). Also smth about living everyday to the fullest. Being happy and attached to the small things, appreciating each moment. Also smth smth sekai is created from his feelings and its reflecting "crumbs" of his life and all

Also "The sun shines FOR ME" is just very tsukasa. That one "sun shining through the foliage as if a natural spotlight made to shine for me" line from his initial 1☆ . But also just his optimistic look on life

Chodź, pokażę ci kolor mego szczęścia [Come, I'll show you the colour of my happiness]

Dziś palącym słońcem Śródmieścia [Today in the scorching sun downtown]

Zbudujemy piramidy z marzeń [We'll build pyramids out of dreams]

Otwórz oczy na świat; zwiedzimy go razem [Open your eyes to the world; we'll visit it together]

THE CHORUS. OUHHRH THE CHORUUUS this is just so wxs to me. The feels...

"I'll show you the colour of my happiness"... wxs journey to bloom episode being titled happiness. Them wanting to make everyone smile and doing it with shows. Sharing their joy between other people and each other too...

"WE'LL BUILD PYRAMIDS OUT OF DREAMS" DO I EVEN NEED TO EXPLAIN THIS. WXS DREAM OF MAKING THE WORLD SMILE AND MAKING SHOWS WITH THAT FEELING IN MIND. ALL THEY ACHIEVED SO MUCH TOGEYHER THANKS TO THAT DETERMINATION AND THOSE DREAMS. WXS SUPPORTING EACH OTHER'S DREAMS AND GETTING BETTER TOGETHER TO AIM FOR GREATER THINGS. (You could probably throw in smth about Wonderland sekai to this again too)

The last line is just. This is so OHE coded. "Open your eyes to the world", there's so much outside of PXL to learn from, so much they can see and do and it's all worth seeing. Freelancing opens so many gates for them and each of the 4 of them stand to learn something from it, even Emu

AND "we'll visit it together" OYHDHDHDJJ.... ITS NOT THE SAME IF THEYRE NOT ALL TOGETHER... THEM ASKING EMU TO COME ALONG WITH THEM, HER BROTHERS CONVINCING HER TO DO IT, THEM GOING AROUND FREELANCING NOW ALL TOGETHER AND HDJSHDHD DO YOU GET ME...

Zmęczone twarze wagą nocy [Faces tired by the weight of the night] (?? This line is very ambiguous)

Trochę się boją, stawiając niepewny krok [They're a bit scared, taking hesitant steps]

This is not as obvious to me as the other lines but. Nene. Nene's determination and hard work even if it's tiring, even if she sees how much she has to catch up to, even with the weight of the others' skills feeling overpowering sometimes

Even despite her old failures and hesitance, and her timid nature, and how scared she was at first – she's still moving forward and getting better. First with robonene, but then actually taking her own steps on the stage and then keeping on improving and shining with new confidence and her beautiful voice, and also reaching out to others more experienced to talk and learn – step by step, not without hesitance, but surely she's moving forward

Zestaw myśli, nawet te dzikie i szalone [A set of thoughts, even the wild and crazy ones]

Tak już jest gdy wywijasz sumienie ma drugą stronę [That's just what it's like when you turn conscience upside down] (oh god idk this line is hard even in Polish)

RUI. RUI AND HIS MIND AND CREATIVITY. HIS THOUGHTS AND IDEAS THAT CAN GET CRAZY AND SOMETIMES EVEN DANGEROUS. But "even" those thoughts because in the end they're always included in the shows wxs make. There's "a set of thoughts" and ideas of wxs that they brainstorm around for each new performance and there's always a place for him to go wild a bit with his insane stunts (the ones that are doable ofc but. Still)

The conscience bit is. Very difficult even in Polish. But smth about Rui and his crazy comments and ideas and all and playful ""threats"" but still always making sure that everything he makes is safe and very apologetic whenever something does happen. Also smth about selfishness and blaming himself for wanting to keep this even though that's.. not smth worthy to be berating himself over. And very valid. Idk how to explain this

I czujesz spokój mimo wszystko i trwasz [And you feel calm despite everything and you keep going]

A słońce wysyła szczęście do ciebie, patrzy w twoją twarz [And the sun sends you happiness[/luck], looking at your face]

Wxs determination despite setbacks, they keep on going until they can achieve what they need to. They don't break down completely and give up, maybe not exactly "calm" but like. Calm in the sense of comfortable and decided on their dreams and unswayed by the mistakes and failures y'know

The sun part is just wholesome. And again smth about happiness being their theme. Could be wxs miku/vsingers? Kind of looking after them

Then there's chorus again and THEN

Ten dzień jest tylko dla mnie gdy cały świat pójdzie spać [This day is just for me, when the whole world goes to sleep]

Zrobię wszystko by nie skończył się zwyczajnie [I'll do everything for it to not end as "normal"]

Dziś tylko dla mnie prywatny plac zabaw [Today, just for me, a private playground]

Moje Miasto Słońca [My City of Sun]

Now how do I explain all this.

Tsukasa is the first line, like, because of this whole "this day is FOR ME" but also again. living every day to the fullest. Doing whatever he feels he wants and needs to do and using every chance for his dream (just. Look at the new 4koma. What is this man doing. Why is he training at school 😭) and even with his reputation as a weirdo he doesn't let that get to him too much, and he lives his life almost like a show even when nobody's looking. Idk how to say this hahd hope u get me

THE SECOND IS SO RUI TO ME. The line there is kind of like. The day won't end as "normal"/ the day won't end casually = I'll make sure the day will be unique and extraordinary before it ends bc every dsy deserves to be unusual. Rui with his amazing ideas and ways to spice up both shows and everyday life. Just look at what he does at kamiyama 😭 this man cannot survive a day without making it a unique show and doing smth insane again

AND EMU OUTHJJ. THE PLAYGROUND FOR HER. THE WORLD IS HER PLAYGROUND BC SHE HAS FUN AND LOVES IT. BUT ALSO PXL. AND THE WONDER STAGE. Her precious places that she will protect even if she's the only one fighting for them. Even if they're important "just for her". But also later wxs doing their best to put her ideas and dreams into life in shows and protecting what she holds dear. THE NIGHTSHOW. do you hear me

Now Nene might feel least defined, like it was just to complete them all saying something. And that is partly true HAHSHHA but also. Wxs being her "city of sun". You'd think someone like her wouldn't really get along with these hyperactive and annoying and weird /aff people and yet she loves them. They showed her the way and let her stand on stage and brighten her days. She gets annoyed with them but also she always has that fond or exasperated smile with them. Like, the sun can be annoying. It can get hot or too bright and make you complain, just like wxs can get loud and hyperactive and crazy and make her eyeroll and groan half the time. But we still bask in the sun and its still so gloomy without it. And even if its so annoying sometimes we still love it and depend on it and appreciate it. And thats also how nene is with wxs. Do you see this

Anyway. I'm normal about this song. I love how soft it is, how happy and warm it feels to listen to it. And that's what wxs is to me too. They love each other so much I need them to blow up

something about marine biology and benefits

[balimaria]

I just realized I can cross over my favorite characters and literally no one can stop me. This is way too much power.

Part 2

[deimosatellite]

like idk it just seems actually nefarious to take one of the very few widely known instances of queerness in older history being a symbol to show queer people that we've always existed and aren't alone for CENTURIES and taking away the queerness from it. like. i know some people say that ''the queerness isnt important in the book" which i mean in my opinion i could go off for 10k words in an essay as to how basil's love for dorian is integral to the story BUT EVEN APART from that its really just. having a real explicitly queer character in such an old and widely regarded classic novel is HUGE for queer history and this is just. literally like. its 2024. why are you doing queer erasure to DORIAN GRAY

[luck-of-the-drawings]

OH ARTHUR BENNETT.. such a gorgeous and intriguing character. terribly burdened by a GRUESOME set of crimes, his light suffocated by a HEAVY century of GUILT. so tragic, so dark and broody, and yet PAINFULLY awkward in any social setting ever

[puppppppppy]

i feel like im not making any sense but does anyone else feel like there are stories that let u run with them and ones that spell everything out for you

[moeblob]

Right and his work menaces (Brent and Karen).

I don't remember last I mentioned it but apart from crude nicknames to people (except Chris), he also just puts them in his phone really weird (except Chris, who is literally in his phone as Chris). And I bring this up because in Right's phone, Karen is saved as "Lawful Obligation".

[just-null]

i've always wanted to try out this trend! i didnt think i drew him that different. i was wrong. very wrong.

hes so baby girl in my style what the fuck. oh i know, i was just drawing what gege meant to draw. dw, i got his telepathic brainwaves 👍

[time lapse + my headcanons for Noritoshi's appearance under the cut]

some headcanons i have while drawing him are semi obvious while others are bc i like it ahehahhaheha

cupid's bow lips! this was semi inspired by Mizuki Umetsu, the actor for Noritoshi in the jjk stage play! hes so. pretty. perfect guy for the role imo! i was captivated therefore my views changed.

longer hair! the thought that his bangs(? are the same length, or longer, as the rest of his hair is nice.. it also makes his inevitable haircut much more refreshing! i also just like long hair and its a fucking waste not to do whatever the i want.

thicker brows and visible eyelashes! i naturally draw thicker eyebrows because it looks pretty, but the eyelashes is so fucking canon bro. dont even fight me on this, you'll lose. i read a fic about Noritoshi where it said he took good care of himself and his appearance inspired jealousy. that fucked me up man, so now i draw him as beautiful as i can.

monolids! I've looked through the manga and i think its highly implied that Noritoshi has monolids? yk those lines in between the eye and eyebrow, he doesnt have them in the manga. i thought it was because of the expressions he had, but no. the others have them, except geto! so geto also having monolids is so fr in my head. i like that feature abt him.

loose hairs! the hairs that i draw on his face. they make him look so cute and a bit more relaxed. he's not trying to be perfect nor have a single strand out of place. he's just a bit more at ease... though if there's something important he has to go through, he sharpens up. becomes.. stiffer?

I UNINTENTIONALLY MADE HIS CHEST LOOK A BIT BIGGER IN MY STYLE AND I WANT TO APOLOGIZE, BUT I'D BE A LIAR. DOES THIS COUNT AS A HEADCANON??? I JUST THINK... SINCE. YK. HES AN ARCHER. AND DOES TRAINING. AND COMBAT. AND DOES ALL THOSE HIGH JUMPS... HIS CHEST. ITD BE A BIT BIGGER FOR HIS STATURE.. omfg. that'd imply that his legs are fucking insane. and his arms too, since he has to pull back all those arrows so quickly.. oh my fuck. this. this is a revelation. what are you hiding under those robes noritoshi...???? one day.. one day we'll see...

oh my fucking god i forgot that i wrote shit while drawing. please ignore my fucking stupid writings AND THE STUPID ASS THING IN THE MIDDLE I FORGOT ABT WHILE DRAWING..

[miausterx0x]

happy halloween!!

[starlos-soulmate]

I love it when I'm so hungry I'm nauseous and I wanna eat stuff. I have food right there in front of me but I can't eat it. And that's making everything worse

[britneyshakespeare]

literary theses are so hard to come up with when i choose to write about things i really truly love with that emotional, subjective part of me that is the true professor in my heart... like i know how to analyze texts... but can't i instead just tell you about all the beautiful, magical parts instead?

[bucephaly]

I gotta break out the sticky notes and actually label everything in my house tsalagi gvhdi. Tired of not knowing the word for Bed. Tired of feeling like im stagnating because I'm trying to remember new words after seeing them once and then just not seeing them again for a while so I have lots of words that look familiar but I dont actually know them

[crescentfool]

does anyone else want to stick these two in the same room together or is that just me... i simply think they are adjacent in vibes... (+a bonus thing???)

get u a fictional guy that makes you feel like this... seeing these guys just evoke a Similar Kind of Brain Chemical and Response. Help Me.

also have bonus yosuke doodle featuring the same brushes used here...! from january 23rd, lol.

[skunkes]

al and smunker live every day hoping talon doesnt ever need consoling or otherwise positive words on his character because well you are very smart, you're funny but usually not on purpose. Not very outwardly or consistently nice enough to be noted as such either. Your bad days can be very bad. But we do love you without any hint of deceit or resentment or mere tolerance. If it was anybody else we would have been sick of it, but we just want you happy and loved even if you never ever get "better." It's hard to pinpoint exactly what about you makes you special in that regard, but you are. You are wonderful but dont ask for any concise one word descriptor evidence.

[lokh]

when i finished reading the book i just sat there for a few minutes

[schizowitchic]

also like i partially found out i might be intersex because i was looking at trans stuff and there was like "(however many) months on t and finally seeing some bottom growth" and like pictures of t-dicks and i was like.... um.... that's kind of just what my clit looks like anyways. so i was like "hey google give me a quick rundown on this" and learned what clitoromegaly was and then i was like. hm. intersex resources. and it's like a sign? symptom? side-effect? of certain intersex conditions
