#penny for my thoughts

Togachako story where Ochako keeps seeing Himiko’s ghost telling her to do stuff and she’s not sure if it’s real but it’s mostly self care stuff like “hey you haven’t eaten today” or “hey I’m sorry but I really want to see this guy’s blood but I’m a ghost so I’m gonna need you to bite this guy” or “don’t forget to wash your hair”

All ochako’s friends notice how she seems to be doing better about taking care of herself now and are happy for her but all collectively agree not to talk about the fact that she keeps biting villains

me: i’m a very busy person

the very busy person in question: let me make some spotify playlists…

This is Alex Cabot

alex cabot – brewed green tea, silk pillowcases, the faint smell of vanilla and amber, art galleries, coffee stains on tablecloths, the glory of old hollywood, the great restraint of father saturn, whiskey-soaked daydreams, satin nightgowns, heels clicking against hard surfaces, cashmere shawls, hardbound books, champagne spray, the blur in a crowded hall, an untouched grand piano in the corner of a house that never was, summer dresses, lingering stares, the remnants of yesterday’s conversation.

This is Casey Novak

casey novak – stained glass, little girls in white lace communion dresses, late night chinese takeouts, the comforting warmth of a quiet afternoon’s golden hue, static television, the sound of rain pelting against the window, a phoenix rising from its ashes, beads of sweat earned from determined bat swings, moss and jasmine and bergamot, vinyl records, the ecstasy from being young and reckless, ice cream on a hot day, muted pink lipsticks and blue eyeshadows, a kiss placed on your bare shoulder, words hanging in the air, the relief from the knowledge that spring is coming.

🪙 I used to get thrown off whenever Rafayel called MC cutie. I felt like it was so random and kind of embarrassing, especially in public. Like.. how do you respond to that?

🪙 Later, I happened to call out to my irl partner as he was passing by, " Hey, cutie. I think you cute!"

🪙 Needless to say, I was shooketh. Here I was doing the exact thing I judged Raf for doing. I'm sorry, my dude.

🪙 Honestly, when I think about it, it's probably really common and normal for partners to refer to each other as such. Why I felt so off when I listened to Rafayel use it, I'm not sure. Maybe it springs from some kind of childhood trauma of not being the "pretty" one growing up or something. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

(right i took it with flash)

point:

1. i cant draw chibi style

2. kaji’s clothes way too dark when being printed (problem of rgb to cmyk maybe?)

3. i just found out kaji’s color is green

4. as always, baku is perfect

5. 6cm is way too small for my taste hmgh

conclusion:

THEYRE SO CUTE WTF (EXPLODE THEM WITH MY MIND)

I’m more shocked about the size tbh, i misjudged how thin(?) they would be but then again i just eyeballing the size so 🤷‍♀️

as of right now im happy with the result since this is my first time drawing & ordering something like this so…

+100 sp to me 😋

Just thinking about how, so far, every Cryo claymore wielder has a thing for submerging themselves in (cold) water.

I cannot get over this absolute banger of a front cover.

First we have Odasaku front and center, and then there's Dazai - split between side A and side B - right above him. There's a clear, jarring difference with Beast!Dazai's dead eyes, bruised skin, while almost drowning in bandages, compared to Main!Dazai's mischievous grin.

Their worlds are such vast contrasts to each other, and yet Odasaku remains unchaging in both, especially in appearance. Same old striped-shirt, beige-coat wearing Oda.

And then there's the cards. Someone made a really good tweet about the meaning of every card (here's the link) but basically, Beast!Dazai has cards that symbolise commitment and death - which greatly connects with the fact his main goal in the Beast world is making Odasaku stay alive, a plan that probably started way before he was fifteen - while Main!Dazai has cards that express genuine self, freedom, acceptance, and personal growth. Development that we see in the main story, nearly growing alongside him sometimes.

Now if that isn't a knife to the gut, I don't know what is.

Oh wait. I do.

The future of the Beast world. The frames that have Dazai and Oda's confrontation, where everything came crashing down until the jaw-dropping finale in Beast. I absolutely hate how I'm still not mentally, emotionally, of even physically recovered from this scene.

How can I when Oda described Dazai as a child about to cry 😭

Anyways, my parting words is that I wanna imagine the burnt page in Oda's hand signifies that because of Beast!Dazai's intervention, he "burnt a page" about the good relationship they could have had. For him to survive, Dazai made himself be the enemy in the Beast world and made something of a good world that still feels emptier than the original one.

🥲✌️

Guys… what if the reason Lady Dimitrescu’s dragon form is the way it is because she’s subconsciously suppressing it? What if in her eyes turning fully into a dragon makes her a complete monster? Because how unsightly would it be to abandon all of her humanity to become a creature, a thing?

If so can someone tell her she’s wrong please 🥺. That she’s not a monster but the most beautiful lady ever, dragon form and all.

Ooof I bet writing this would be something

Mother earth prolly thought "i don't have to kill these people, they'll kill themselves soon enough" sat back and watched

I think I should be allowed to eat the Noise crystals. I think they would be like a sweet caramel candy. I don’t think that would have any negative consequences for me. But they won’t let me because of woke

Uyen ninh and her German bf 🤩.

I find their relationship equation amazing, genuine and rare to find in today's world.

Apart from love and respect one thing that I love about that couple is the bf's immense support. Both, financially and emotionally he has supported her ( i have watched her saying how he managed funds to bring her to Germany, managed household while she was fulltime student). It's impressive how this guy never gave up on her and supported her with everything.

Of course all couples have their ups and downs. But he is a rare gem. And she is also very angelic and sweet.

If all the partners in the world become so loving, supportive and encouraging. Then, relationships would be so much smoother.

Potato Tweet: Barbie has already been robbed during the nominations. Now it’s been robbed even more.

I assume it’s common knowledge by now that Oscars are not about art, at least not in the first place. So when I look at the politics of the awarded, I worry. Oppenheimer is good, no questions asked. What I worry about is the politics of not giving an Oscar to Killers of the Flower Moon at all. Through that the Academy kind of admits that it doesn’t care about Native Americans and their story. They care about Mariupol, but doesn't one dare talk about Gaza. They care about gazing at women much less than about taking a quick, light-hearted look at their psyche. That’s sad and irritating.

What increases my discontent is the amount of statuettes Poor Things has left the ceremony with. And I’m not gonna moralize about the sexuality of a child, I’m not a Victorian lady… I’m rather wondering about all the similarities between Yorgos Lanthimos’ film and Greta Gerwing’s film. Both staring a well known woman, who’s also a co-producer of the respective piece. The protagonist of each film is what seems to be a grown ass lady, who differs from the common understanding of “normal” and “suited for a society” in one way or other. Both Barbie and Poor Things are visually stunning.

The categories in which both films were nominated are:

best picture

supporting actor (where it was kind of obvious it’s gonna be Robert Downey Jr., but I was holding onto the glimmer of hope it’s gonna be Ryan Gosling, so that the Academy can say “Hey, we awarded this pink movie something! Sure, it’s for the male supporting role in a very feminine movie, but we awarded it something!)

adapted screenplay

costume design

production design

The only two categories in which Barbie was nominated and Poor Things wasn’t, are:

actress in a supporting role

original song (with “What Was I Made For?” and “I’m Just Ken”)

Which scores it the total of 8 nominations in 7 categories.

Meanwhile Poor Things scored 11 nominations all together. It was nominated, except for the already mentioned, for:

actress in a leading role

cinematography

directing

editing

makeup and hairstyling

original score

For some perspectve: Oppenheimer got nominated in 13 categories.

What I'm trying to say here, is that it was understandable for me that Barbie got robbed cuz it's too entertaining, too pink, too commercial for the Academy. It wasn't the greatest production of the year. But it was an event! And just because of that it's already earned a very special place in the cultural history of the western world. I'd be interested to know how much of the commercial success of Oppenheimer was carried by Barbie and the other way around. The double-feature-premiere was a worldwide event of a scale of its own. Meanwhile Poor Things showed up rather late to the party. It's not a multiplex film. It's a Mubi film. It's artsy. It's different. It's also a story about women's sexuality written and directed by a dude, based on a novel by a dude. And the Academy likes it more than a story by women for women about what it's like to be a women, which also allows it to prove how much they care about Art. AKA how pretentious they are. That's my beef.

Can't Vergil just get along with Dante for more than five seconds bruh cuz what do you mean he was so desperate to kill his twin he split himself in half

NOTE: I have so much to say about the Poetry Gala Event because I enjoyed it so much. It's going to be lengthy but feel free to read me rambling haha.

I don't mean to be dramatic but... Chongyun enthusiasts, WE WON! I'm so happy that he was able to show up so much in this event! Like he actually got lines and so much screentime!! I know he always appears in Lantern Rite, but this just hits different. Did you see how fast he was talking and the way he did his little jump after having those chili peppers? XD Also the way he was giving Xingqiu some sass at the at the end of the story? Show him, Chongyun!

And I never thought I would be able to see two of my favorite characters in the same frame! This is going to keep me fed until the next Lantern Rite haha.

On a similar note, this event was just as good as last year's goofy Lantern Rite! I will never stop talking about how much I love it when characters from different nations are able to meet each other, like the whole Xingqiu/Mika/Noelle interaction was really sweet! (But the way Xingqiu told them to just not get caught when sneaking away from home XD He's such a bad influence haha)

AND THIS. The way Zhongli and Venti were looking at the children, it really solidifies the fact they they're retired. Don't mind me crying over here 🥺

I didn't expect the event to dive a bit into Diona's lore, so that was really cool!! Also really glad that learning about Oceanids and their power kind of helped Chongyun come to terms with his yang energy. (I shall now wait patiently for some lore drop on Chongyun.)

The whole story was just so nice. And the MUSIC for Callirhoe's story was the final cherry on top 👌
