Would do the entire dialogue but drawing Bonnie crying is the bane of my existence! HA

Anyway my reaction to when this entire dialogue was over was just. Hihi.

[percedurza]

this came to me in a dream (i got no sleep last night)

[tinyshinysylveon]

what's really interesting is katsuki's dialogue in the end, he says, "腐れ縁だわ.." which is basically-

like they are close but not that close ;; i was considering putting it as a "toxic relationship" but rotten also goes the same way. i really like that he admits to others openly that their relationship was terrible to the point where he tries to change ;;;;

edit: because some understood it differently lol i described 腐れ縁 as "an undesirable but inseparable relationship" as i've mentioned above. i took the literal kanji 腐: rotten/sour since if you do try to describe 腐れ縁 in simpler terms, it'll more than likely lose its deeper meaning ;; if i were to edit it out, i would say "it was a complicated relationship" instead. now IF i had enough space tho, i would prob put "it was an unsavory relationship where i couldn't break it off no matter what."

arcane season 2 introduction analysis incoming:

does anyone else find it really cool, but also very nerve-wracking, that the season 2 arcane introduction is referencing a bunch of well known tragic plays/musicals? we all know riot/fortiche isn’t one to put unnecessary details in, every single thing is either symbolic, a parallel or foreshadowing - especially in the introductions. so, could these chosen plays/performances foreshadow how the rest of the story could go?

i know that the caitlyn/macbeth poster parallels have been circulating a lot recently, and i think it provides a really good idea into how caitlyn’s arc might go. 

the events of act one positioned caitlyn in a perfect place to follow the storyline of macbeth. her current state (losing her mother, the trauma from jinx, etc) has made her predisposed to violence, much like macbeth. we can clearly see that in the caitvi betrayal scene, when she hits vi in the gut with a rifle, as well as in the fight before that, where she has no qualms with potentially killing innocents for the ‘greater good’. she was also thrust into a position of high power where she will be easily manipulated by ambessa. 

similar to this, macbeth is a story of a man thrust into a high position of power and unable to keep the blood off his hands, and he and his wife eventually go mad because of it. I think ambessa fits the role of lady macbeth here, and she has the potential to goad caitlyn (macbeth) into violent acts and atrocities while keeping the blood and blame off her hands. through caitlyn, ambessa now has significant influence and power over piltover and the fight with zaun. how will caitlyn, who is barely more than a pawn now, cope with this? macbeth slowly went insane in his attempt to maintain power - i fear for how caitlyn will fare. 

macbeth is a tragedy, by the way. 

i haven’t properly analysed the rest, but i think it’s interesting to know that the shot of jinx holding the flag is a reference to les mis (also a tragedy, as SPOILER ALERT all the characters die in their fight for freedom and fairness). the line is literally 'oh the misery'. if jinx rallies zaun to fight against piltover, is she leading them into a massacre?  

les mis is a tragedy. 

the shots of mel and ambessa lounging on the couch is a reference to julius caesar. it is a play of betrayal and caesar is betrayed by one of their companions. et tu, brute? brutus joins a conspiracy to assassinate caesar and prevent him from becoming a tyrant. does ambessa become a tyrant/bloodthirsty leader with her newfound power? will mel join the black rose and betray her mother in order to stop piltover’s destruction?

julius caesar is a tragedy.

one last thing. in all of these works, the main character of the story dies by the end.

so, safe to say, i am very nervous about what the introduction is foreshadowing. i have a feeling an important character is going to die.

arcane will be a tragedy. 

(viktor and the mask is also a reference to phantom of the opera but, as much as i love that musical, i haven’t analysed his shots yet so i haven’t included it)

[a-scary-lack-of-common-sense]

I think it would be funny if everyone manages to escape the Digital Circus in the end and they don't want Caine's AI to trap any more people so they somehow manage to drag him to the human world with them. Now the tables have turned and it's Caine's turn to be absolutely flabbergasted by reality and his new human body.

hey i was wondering how mischa from rtc would react to a reader being on their period- tysm!

Mischa... Mischa Mischa Mischa.... he calls you up because he's already on his way over to your place but he missed the sound of your voice too much to wait. Or as he put it, "my heart is a cathedral, your voice is the ringing of the bells, the doves that fly above. each moment I am away from you, it is no longer house of worship because there is no divinity, no angels to deliver salvation, no embrace of heaven's gates."

so he shows up and sees you all snuggled up on the couch in your crusty comfy bed rotting clothes, but the way he looks at you is so sincerely the way someone else would look at the most breathtaking supermodel. he looks at you with that raw ukrainian passion and rushes forward to you. he takes your face so tenderly in his hands presses your foreheads together before he kisses you.

"oh, my beloved, my kokhanyy..." your stomach always does that little twisty flippy thing when he calls you kokhanyy - beloved in ukrainian. he's been using the pet name for as long as you can remember, but it still makes you all flustered. he kisses you some more and notices you don't seem to be quite yourself. he crouches down next to you, holding your hand in both of his, kissing it and holding it to his cheek as he asks what's wrong. you tell him you woke up to your period this morning and all you want to do is curl up in a ball and not move.

"period, period..." he murmurs, trying to remember what the ukrainian translation is. "oh, menstruatsiya!"

"yeah, menstruatsiya." you chuckle.

"oh, my dove..." he says, pulling you close to him. he rests your head on his chest, stroking your hair or caressing your cheek. "it is a most beautiful thing. the blood of your womb gives way to the seeds of new life. It is like a kiss from the stars, it is telling you that you are a strong, fertile tree, bursting with the fruit of life."

you look up at him, smiling softly, touched by his words.

"besides, squeezing lining of organs out of bleeding hole is gangster as SHIT, yo!" he exclaims, jumping up before kissing your hand again.

"I go get you chocolates and medovik." he says as he rushes out, then turns around.

"honey cake. very good, very comforting." he clairifies. you chuckle to yourself as he rushes out to get you some sweets and comfort food. you really don't know what you'd do without him.

Not my usual post but I’ve been rewatching mouthwashing again and again and noticed something

I’d like to take a moment and mention how the vent part near the end of mouthwashing represents a character in some way.

Starting off with Daisuke, on the first section of the vent. How do we know this is daisukes part? Turn back, and his face burns into the screen. "No turning back now." Is blatantly telling us how he couldn’t turn back once he entered that vent, and him being the first one is because he himself entered that vent. And that is how he met his end— he couldn’t turn back. He still kept going, though. He had to. Because his friend was on the line, and honestly— that’s fair. Also, at the beginning hibiscus flowers and items he had nearby him. I feel like that kinda represents his interest, and items that surrounded him through day to day life.

Swanseas part is where it kinda gets complicated, you fall down a door. Hibiscus petals surround the circular hole you fall into. I feel like this kinda represents Swansea’s and Daisuke’s father-son like relationship, and once you fall down that hole, you see tons of polle posters. Posters Swansea has seen all of the years he worked at pony express. His monologue were his last moments, no doubt. That speaks for itself. However, during the graveyard section— you can hear a baby crying and see a memorial for Daisuke. He was attempting to kill Jimmy for them, like a father protecting his children.

Anya’s section is the ultrasound. The child coming from it, one she’d have by no consent of herself, looks like a monster. It’s what Jimmy wanted to escape, it’s what he wanted to kill, and it’s what attacks him in his delusions. He views it as a monster, because it’s what would create repercussions for himself. What would get him arrested. What would make him look like the culprit when he so desperately wanted to be the hero.

Curlys, on top of being gruesome, is extremely painful to watch. The eyes at the start would represent how all eyes are on Jimmy after everyone else is dead. The only eyes on the ship, are on him. I feel like this represents his pain, also— and he’s getting fed his own leg. He was an enabler, he wasn’t the best, but it hurt me to see that happen.

Jimmy talking to polle represents his consciousness, his self pity. He only recognizes he does wrong if he puts himself in the good light. He’s a narcissist, he doesn’t do any good. Yet he still thinks of himself as the hero who can fix everything. Why are you so concerned with him? So you can look like the hero in your own delusions.

Okay, so I’m still chewing on this Hallis situation.

1. Ludinus was human in his youth but he’s been doing the fey slurpee shit for so long it actively altered his body. (Hence his particularly fey-like ears.)

2. Ludinus and Hallis were kids together and Ludinus has co-opted Hallis’s entire tragedy as if it were his own so even if he obviously can’t convince anyone he was Hallis, he can still use him as a platform. (The Dear Evan Hanson Approach.)

3. Hallis has nothing to do with Ludinus and Ludinus didn’t know him at all and he’s looking at this like Kipperlily Copperkettle looks at Riz right now feeling like his sad backstory is not NEARLY epic enough and he missed an opportunity to go bigger.

they asked luosty about the paul quote on mikksy

and he just smirks to himself as he tries to find his words to answer the question in way that gets no one in trouble

[stevebabey]

In the distance, the first dreadful squawk of one of the bats carries across over the foul winds of the Upside Down.

Eddie Munson is going to die in the bottom of Steve Harrington’s swimming pool. He holds off as long as his nerves can handle it, trembling as he forces himself to stand still, hearing the bats draw closer.

But Eddie Munson has always been a coward. When danger comes, he always does run.

This time is no different.

You’re not supposed to be here.

That same harrowing voice slices through the air, its grisly tone making his insides shrivel up right as Eddie’s nerve breaks and runs. The vines relent easily, their sudden constriction eased the moment he tries to break free. As he scrambles back from the spot he was rooted, it’s with a sinking feeling that he realises it was far too easy to break away.

He keeps stumbling back.

The ground behind him slants, giving way to the slight incline, and it’s enough to crumble Eddie’s weak legs. The haunting shriek of bats sounds again, louder this time, closer.

Terror hikes up within him violently, and the fast backtracking he’s doing turns into a frantic scramble—he doesn’t even try to get to his feet, just turns and digs his fingers in, desperately searching for purchase. The sludge of the Upside Down buries itself beneath his nails, and Eddie isn’t sure he’s breathing at all as he pushes his body as fast as it can.

“I- I—fuck,” His inhale suddenly sounds dizzingly loud as he abruptly realises he’s crying. “I’m trying, I’m trying to leave, I- I wanna get home—”

He’s not sure why he’s bargaining, as if anything out there is even listening, as if the likes of Vecna cares to hear his pleas.

But running— running hadn’t helped him last time, had it?

And neither had standing his ground and fighting so- so he has to fucking trying something, right?

The dirt embeds itself further beneath his nails. His body screams its protests at his movements, sluggish and infuriatingly slow. The screeches of the bats get stronger, closer still.

Eddie learns that bargaining doesn’t help him either.

Total Drama World Tour Assistant Noah AU…

Where Assistant Noah warns Owen before the London Challenge, but Alejandro had heard him…

Alejandro: So, you think that I’m like an eel dipped in grease?

Assistant Noah: Yes, I do. What are you gonna do about it, pretty boy? I’m not a contestant, you have no power over me, Eel!

Alejandro: Maybe so, but I can still use my charms to mess with you, while you’re working.

Assistant Noah: Don’t you dare! >=O

Alejandro: (Smirks and blows Noah a flirty kiss!) ;)

Wasn't it already a pre-established fact that Alejandro was actively flirting with assistant Noah before London? Why would him upping the ante make any difference here?

If anything, have Alejandro seethe over the fact that, despite his best efforts to seem as suave and charming as possible, Noah sees him as an "eel dipped in grease". He's consistantly pulled out all the stops to get a reaction out of Noah - the same tactics that worked flawlessly on the rest of the competition - and yet his best efforts are rewarded with the one person he's trying to get to like him, actively disliking him.

It's a massive blow to his ego and his confidance. But one he can learn from.

Have Alejandro condeed defeat to himself; if he hadn't won Noah over by now, there's little chance he ever would (at least, that's his justification for giving up). Have him stop flirting with Noah - stop interacting with the assistant completely, since he's so obviously disliked by Noah.

And then. Then, you have Noah notice the emptiness in his day-to-day.

You have the both of them turn to make snide comments or backhanded remarks about the goings on in the competition, only to be met with silence and a blank space at their side. You have the both of them cycle through active denial that the miss each other, until the weight of their loneliness crushes their combined stubbornness.

Have Noah sheepishly apologise to Alejandro in the (relative) privacy of the cargo hold, trying to explain that his distrust of Alejandro doesn't necessarily translate into dislike. And have Alejandro forgive him. Not entirely, but enough for the two of them to settle back into a sense of normalcy.

That is, Alejandro habitually trying to flirt with Noah once more, only to be completely blindsided when the other laughs at his attempts instead of brushing him off.

Because that's a sign of progress, right?

I didn’t like Ragatha that much at first.

I thought it was because she was boring and bland character.

Turns out—it’s because she reminds me of someone I’m not always super fond of.

From what I have observed, Ragatha seems to be a character with a personality of dishonesty/insincerity (i.e., People Pleasing, Approval Seeking, Conflict Adverse/Avoidant).

People Pleasing is generally not done maliciously; however, it’s a behavior to manipulate how people think, respond, and behave around her. It (usually) stems from the internalized core belief “I’m not good enough as I am.” All she genuinely craves is unconditional love, belonging, security, connection, compassion, and most of all: acceptance.

So she compensates by creating a caricature of what she observe people want from her. A “doll” that can fill any role that needs to be filled to be accepted. Be kind. Be approachable. Be pleasant. Be agreeable. Be reliable. Minimize self. Give. Give. Give.

Just don’t be YOU (because you won’t be accepted.)

And because of this faux persona, she struggles with being vulnerable to what it is that she wants and needs from others; thus, blocking that personal connection she craves in relationships (i.e., what Gangle was eluding to.)

It’s performative. It’s a form of a mask. It’s an endless loop of minimizing self to appease others. And it’s not sustainable. The pressure starts and keeps building under the surface. Internally building up inside. All those “negative” feelings you won’t allow you won’t allow to show that you stuff down and avoid. Those uncomfortable, ugly emotions: frustration, negative self talk, annoyances, rage, resentments, apathy, anxiety—fear.

So yeah…

I didn’t like Ragatha that much at first because her character reminds me of me.

(Even down to the stupid sauce usage. Mine was an addiction though. Put the sauce down girl!)

I feel like soon I'll need reality check bc lestappen is acting up so much that my brain started treating them like both a) an actual couple who just didn't plan on making it public and b) future teammates at RBR

Everything looks like filmed footage for fanfiction. Ridiculous!
