I will get a clip or a gifset of this to illustrate, but the way Watson says "Ah, the Old Imperial, Holmes" and Holmes' reaction to it makes me think they had a meaningful date there.
EDIT: because i'm on mobile and apparently I can't add a video if I reblog the post, but I can if I edit it? fine
I think I've reached a point where I'm going to actively start avoiding some family members. I put up with them for the last decade because "they're family," but between the racism, homophobia, and transphobia (not to mention the batshit MAGA conspiracy theories) I think I'm just...done.
I was talking to my partner about whether or not we would attend the annual thanksgiving dinner they host since we'll be in town and we had to stop talking about it because my anxiety skyrocketed. I don't want to subject my partner to dealing with individuals who are proudly racist against people of his race, nor do I want to have to try and play nice with individuals who, by their own admittance, would rather I didn't exist. Then again, I'm not sure they know I'm queer. Which, I think, would be the only reason I'd like to see them in person again. So I could inform them face-to-face and see if it made them even a little less hateful.
It's just. So terrible. To look at people you used to have fond feelings for in your childhood and now only feel embarrassment and sadness.
I need to draw Kremy god damn Lecroux but I’m better with humans and I’m so mad I’m not a scaly/furry. They always serve but SIGHH… I think Kremy would be so cute as a kid, like cute lil squeaks hatchlings make.
Kremy is so runt of the litter core to me, his mother could’ve held him in her palm when he first hatched. So small, so fragile, so different from the man that’s larger than life.
I like to imagine faerie magic that’s used on humans has similar vibes to the myth of the lotus eaters if that makes any sense. Just a divine sense of sweetness and peace that makes you forget any worries you’ve ever had. In fact, it makes you forget a lot of things. Why go through the trouble of thinking when you don’t need to? You’re at peace now, after all.
This would probably be specifically after giving a faerie your name, not before. They can only really start to affect people based on how much power they hold over them, after all. And if they want to put your mind at rest, there’s no better way to do it. You feel taken care of, safe, and blissful.
i love how fraught and complicated discourse around various utena characters ‘dying’ is when anthy is literally stabbed to death eternally by a million swords imbued with human hatred. and then utena gets stabbed to death by them also. like. ‘death’ is incredibly interesting in rgu because most of the time it’s this ambiguous figurative thing that has interesting implications re: ohtori as a closed-off world one can escape. we are all trapped in our coffins. mamiya is the only named character with a grave. nemuro memorial hall functions as one all the same. ruka is implied to have died in the hospital— was he dead all along? who was the boy we saw for these two episodes? is this dead boy the same boy, or is this just another coincidence from the shadow girls, cutting like a knife? it’s heavily implied that akio and anthy murder kanae by poisoning her, adding to the previous implication that they were poisoning mr ohtori too, but there are no perceptible consequences of this. kanae’s absence is not felt. she’s fed an apple slice. what happens to the bodies? we know what happened to the 100 boys, but what about everyone else? and so on and so forth. ‘death’ is a tricky thing in utena, i think it’s constantly functioning on figurative and literal levels in very different ways for very different purposes. dios died. dios was dying. dios didn’t die. he grew up. etc etc
