Besides my idea for the mercenaries dislike and distrusting both Autobots and Decepticons alike I see them refusing to take jobs involving them due to it making things “complicated”. Also my band of mercs disliking Lockdown well, viewing his trophy habit as both gross and unprofessional.
Yeah!!
After all, they don't want to get caught in needless crossfire or sticky diplomatic situations (I've been reminded of IDW and how the rest of the galaxy's views on autobots and decepticons is complicated). After all, they're here to get in get the job done get their payment and get out.
I 100% can see why many mercs would think that, especially since yes. It's pretty unprofessional and reminds me more of game hunting.
This made me remember one of my favorite mercenary ocs, Crackshot! The ex-decepticon sniper dinobot. I have some material written down for them but they had a lot of interesting frame traits
#maccadam#transformers#mercenary faction#lockdown#their name is a pun off of being a sniper yes but for another reason too: they can crack their tail like old depictions of sauropods#i say old depictions because i think recent consensus is that while they physically can do it it'd probably hurt like hell#whatever. crackshot was mostly based on a theropod anyway because of course they were#sorry for going on a tangent

1, 13, 18 ?? (ygo ofc)
1-First ship I can remember has to be Joey/Mai. I didn't realize how much older Mai was when I was like 6-8 years old and watching the 4Kids dub and now I see them more as bros. They are still cute tho ❤️
13- Most Shippable character for me is probably Kaiba but it's because I'm biased and he's my favorite. I ship that bitch with almost anybody. 😂
18- Guillty Pleasure ship is hard for meeeeee. I can't really think of anything. At one point it might have been Honda/Kaiba but I've seen so much support for that ship lately that it makes me feel way better!
Oh yo actually!!!!! Rebecca/Mokuba /Leon is the cutest thing ever. I don't think I've ever mentioned it to anyone but I think they'd all be so cute together. Like idk have hair braiding parties and terrorize Kaiba with their combined wits. Also have cute ideas of like college age them going through life and stuff. I feel like there's a bunch of potential exploring relationship dinamics. Lol I'll stop now before I ramble too long 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Ok I really really would like animated fight club but the graphic novel sequels were so so so bad that I do not trust Chuck (I'm not looking up how to spell his last name rn) to do it right.
Fight club spoilers ahead (it's old but everyone yells at me when I try to talk about "the twist")
Like seriously, as someone with DID, I feel like the original book went hard and actually had some interestingly well researched nuance about dissociative disorder.
Like it's obviously fantasy and DID doesn't work like it does in fight club, but It was refreshing to see some of the internal dialogue with Tyler and the way it relates to the narrators trauma. Like it went deeper on that rep then just "evil alter does things behind your back" because the book really made Tyler out to be a realistic alter because his motivations match up with all the trauma the narrator buries and doesn't come to terms with. It's implied in the book that he's an introject of the narrators neglectful father, and that he's fed up with his feelings being ignored.
He flat out tells the narrator "I do these things because you won't, I'm everything you wish you could be" and of course it's unrealistic extreme, but the bones of it is a somewhat relatable struggle if you've ever had an alter disagree with the whole system angrily.
But then, the graphic novel- Tyler goes away when narrator takes medicine and Marla wants him to come back so she fucks with his meds and Tyler comes back and starts teaching their kid how to make bombs.
I was so let down. I didn't get past the first chapter.
It was like, dude you nailed a lot of aspects of how DID can make you think and be in denial about your needs but then you threw it out the window when you made a serious psychological condition into something that can be turned on and off with meds like a light switch and now Tyler really is the evil alter trope and that genuinely made me loose respect for Chuck using this disorder to make interesting societal commentary. Like you really had something here but you went and did what every writer seems to do with DID. You researched and then you stopped researching after you made the money.
STOP no more live-action remakes. We're going the other way now. Animated Casablanca. Animated The Godfather. Animated Oppenheimer. Animated Fight Club.

— ☆ “YOU REALLY ARE A FREAK . . . KYLAR .”
promise he didn’t mean to stupidly jack off to you , it was just hormonal urges acting up, yeah.
Fuck, underneath this thin layer of pure impulsivity, he’s undeniably aware that he should’ve stopped things here the second it escalated— Hastily shut off the cheaply recorded clips hazily shown back towards him by the dimly lit monitoring of his screen. He had his tell-tale suspicions secretly simmering deep within, yeah, lil’ freak here knew you weren’t necessarily the most loyal of people ‘round town. Didn’t mean his skittish eyes to instinctively seek yours out in a crowded room, hidden amongst the numerous people he’d usually glance over in bare disinterest when in search for your own recognizable frame. A harmless crush, he’d initially call it to soothe the lurking urges annoyingly gnawing at the back of his mind, repeatedly whispering to him the instinctual need to fervently possess you further, sweetly leave his fair share of littered marks all around your unblemished skin so that the town may notably take notice of your cherished bond.
Still, this is— this is so fuckin’ unfair, y’know?? How dare you merely prove your brazen disloyalty to him time and time again and here he is, curled fist stubbornly snug around his leaking cock, tacky globs of pre-cum profusely dribbling out of his swollen slit as if he’s not crudely getting off to the sight of you— you, fucking getting your whorish boy hole ruined by another person. Desperate bucks of his hips, jeans carelessly slung down to his ankles below, rest of his sticky with cum underwear probably thrown somewhere along the scattered mess in his room. It’s sick, downright vile and he knows it, but fuck— it has started off with a familiar scowl making its way past his normally soft features when faced with your usually placate room devoid of anyone else but his watchful eyes carefully taking in the sight of your snoozing frame comfortably tucked away under the woollen covers.
Except, you’re not truly alone and ah, here goes.. Robin? Seamlessly sneaking himself into your room instead, not him, but that fucking friend of yours constantly sticking to your sides at school, outside of there too — yes, he’s checked, no he’s not a creep for it! — Affectionately nosing along the crook of your neck, muttering out wistful words, he, himself cannot possibly hope to discern considering his— well, namely cheap equipment he has to forcibly deal with, here. Subtle brush of your best friend’s palm sneakily disappearing underneath the thick blanket, though he can barely make out the outline of his hand dizzyingly slipping its way past your boxers, probably.. hah, feeling your cute cock up, sticky mess pervertedly staining the material already. The little, heated sighs collectively tumbling forth from both of your lips, discreetly obscured within the dark corners of your narrow room shouldn’t be affecting him this much. Yet, it is as proven by the burning flush heating his cheeks, teeth instinctively digging into the rosy flesh of his bottom lip. Inwardly seething at the pure display of love intimately being shown to him — without your aforementioned knowledge too, by the way — and that his cock itself is painfully reacting to it, stupidly tented against the front of his ripped jeans, craning his neck closer as if it might magically allow him to see your movements beneath.
Don’t need to wait all that long for it since you decisively do the honours for him of course, or unfortunately Robin here, whose hands and lips are busying themselves all over your originally untouched body. Supple fingertips coyly caressing rhythmic circles along your hips, thumb lovingly circling around the edge of your hot, drooling tip freed out in the air. Relishing in the hitched gasps, slightest shivers of your curled frame snugly pressed against his, adorably pleading for more with a needy whine of his name. A name, name that should be Kylar’s — not his. Repressed freak frustratingly chewing at his chipped nails, gaze not leaving your glazed over eyes for the briefest of seconds in favour of freeing his fat, throbbing cock from the tight of confines of his pants. It’s— It’s not bad! He’s just helping himself because at the end of the day, he’s nothing but a man too, just like you. A pathetic loser who’s wracked in a mess, stupidly fisting his cock at the bare sight of your figure being sinfully defiled by your best friend hidden beneath the haphazardly spread sheets. Swollen, pink nipples shown out in the cooling air for his eyes to breathlessly take in, soon also taken by Robin’s mouth hungrily latching onto one of them. Audibly suckling on the perky buds with noisy sucks, relishing in the muted gasps gradually being drawn out of you. Noticeable scrunch of your face, timid grasp finding its way entangled along the soft strands of your best friend’s hair in a shy mewl for more cuz’ shit, it must feel good, right?
He could make you feel way better than that, promise! Though that’s the very last repetitive protest on his blurring mind, dumbly shut off as he jerks himself off. Slippery slides of his palm gliding along his cum coated length in an audible squelch!, rhythmic up-and-down motion of fisting his cock raw against his palm, furiously humping upwards in time with each controlled thrust of Robin on the other end. Hah, wonder what you’d do if you truthfully knew what he’s currently doing, how that precious owl toy gifted to you on that faithful day wasn’t for innocent intentions and all that, wasn’t to kindly look over you to make sure you’re always at ease. He means, it is! But, not necessarily that, no— in fact, it’s for opportunities like this. Like a pervert, he’s shamelessly getting off to your tight, little fucking hole being stuffed full of your best friend’s fat cock, bobbing dick cutely swaying between the tantalizing spreading of your thighs. Legs deftly locked around Robin’s hips in a tentative beg to keep going! and feels so fuckin’ good! and oh, how he wishes he was the one stupidly balls deep inside of you. Subtle arch of your back, peppered kisses being repeatedly planted against your pouty lips, lolling tongue and rolling eyes and fuuuckkk—- it’s the second you make immediate contact with him, maybe not out of purpose. No, definitely not, but the split second of eye contact you both share, slightest flicker of your gaze settling upon the owl who’s flickering camera is blinking back, recording this all — that has his hips stuttering, head impulsively thrown back and whiny moans hurriedly spilling past his open lips as hot spurts of his sticky seed spurt out of his cock and into the air. Stiffening limbs wracked with his orgasm, quivering legs sat atop his creaking chair all the while milking every last drop of his cock, till it uselessly dribbles out in pitiful droplets onto the ground.
Ah, look at the effects you have on him that he embarrassingly enough, cums so quickly from a mere glance of your eyes in his direction. And really, how he should be properly blaming you for the coated mess on his wooden floorboards which he should be currently cleaning right about now, lest his parents find out again. Truly, he should probably go and.. grab a wet rag now.
..And some tissues for later.

FUCKING PREACH IT, HOMIE!!!!!!
But seriously, this fandom has a serious infantalization problems with characters such as Scout and Pyro.
Like, they see Scout, they see how he's this hyperactive, childish merc who's "God's gift to women" and immediately immediately boil him down to him being a grown man-child. He's literally 27, can drive, kills people for a living, and has been shown to pull women.
Yeah, he's immature and childish, but you gotta remember he's almost in his 30's, is the youngest of seven older brothers, and works to help support his mom (who he had to watch struggle to raise him and his older brothers on her own)
And then you get Pyro, who gets the worst of it. Pyro's case gets me especially heated cause they're infantilized due to them being mentally unwell. These are probably the same people that wouldn't even sit near Pyro IRL cause they think "Schizophrenia=evil monster"
Yes, Pyro also kills for a living, but that's cause it's their JOB. Schizophrenia is such a complicated condition, and it gets such a bad rep. I don't have Schizophrenia, so obviously, I can't speak for those who do have it. But I know for a damn fact that those who have it don't appreciate how people treat it.
Now we know Pyro is an adult, what age are they we don't know. My guess is that they're close to Sniper and Scout in age. We also know that Pyro handmade their weapons and was CE-FUCKING-O OF AN ENGINEERING COMPANY. I can not stress enough that there's so much more to Pyro's character, but everyone and their Mother's wanna look at them and go, "Aww, look at the precious baby. They don't realize that they're hurting people"
I think another thing that plays into it is that they appear to like things that can be considered "childish" (Balloonicorn, bubbles, rainbows, ect.) But you can be a fully grown and functioning adult and like those things. I'm 22, and I have a huge ass stuffed animal collection. I have friends who are in similar boats as me. It's normal.
Okay, I'll shut up for now. I just hate how people treat some of these mercs.
#team fortress 2#tf2#tf2 scout#tf2 pyro#homie's tags got me going off on a tangent I'm sorry#but they're so right about it#can we please portray these characters like how they're supposed to be portrayed#i know im guilty of mischaracterization#but not to these extremes man#jeez

I agree with the second one. The use of symbols can tell you whether something is one term or two
4(6) is one term, while 4 x 6 is two terms. For the same reasoning,
4/2 is one term, while 4 ➗2 is two symbols.
Is what you’re showing a form or a number, or an operation? In each step of the equation, the terms get manipulated into a different form. Using an operator that physically separates the terms tells me that each term is it’s own form of the number.
2(2+1) is 6 as much as the number 6 is 6. They mean the same thing.
But math is also a language. It has its own syntax rules, grammar, and is constantly evolving. In Ancient Greece, they did number theory without even have invented the concept of written number arithmetic, like 2+2=4. They saw it as lengths of 2 and lengths of 2 give a length of 4.
Our modern algebra, using letters as variables and Greek letters as functions is still flawed. Multiple things can mean the same thing.
Take this symbol ∂. It’s used to denote partial derivatives. It’s also used to denote jacobians. You can only know what it means based on context. Hell, we don’t even have an agreed upon name for this symbol, despite it being super common.
To get around this, in math write ups, we usually explicitly define what each thing means, and the rules of using them. It’s all about context. For the original problem op posted to be answered correctly, it’s not that they shouldn’t be using that symbol, it’s that it has to be defined properly.
Stolen from twitter.
Remember that the ÷ symbol is usually not used in equations, and never used in an equation that used brackets to imply multiplication without a X sign, because it would create ambiguity. You can't give a correct answer to an incorrect equation.
#sorry for going on a tangent#haha get it#but like these questions are my enemy#and I need everyone to take the stance that the answer is 1 not 9

But it really is messed up that tenko never even had a chance. From the start he was doomed, and he was never going to be saved. All for one made sure until the very end that tenko was a pawn in his own story, how cruel is that
#mha manga spoilers#bnha#it makes me really frustrated how his story ended more than anything else#how is it that after afo fully taking over his body all we get is a single panel#I feel like it wouldn’t feel like such a failure if there’d been more if shigaraki and deku had talked more#even if there was no way to save him and keep him alive his ending just felt so cheap I truly thought we were going to see more of him#but alas I was played for a fool#sorry this is a wholeass tangent lmao

it's like, i really do enjoy most of the bats as characters and i really do like a lot of their comics. but also i am sooooo tired of them being hailed as better than literally everyone else. both in fanon but also in comics (modern ones are esp egregious imo, like WHAT was that shit about batman and the joker being the most dangerous men on the planet. hi. have you heard of lanterns? speedsters? supers? actually if i keep listing groups who could kick batman's ass we'd be here all day). they're like kudzu. that shit needs to stay in its native environment (funky little neo-noir detective stories) and stop being an invasive species (putting down everyone else to make them seem cooler). put bruce wayne back into a murder mystery setting that isn't about saving the world but is about saving one person or one family that no one else would've saved right now or so help me god. the whole invasive species cross contamination thing is unhealthy for both him And the other ecosystems he keeps getting transplanted into. please. it's so dark in here
#rimi talks#imo it's also like a massive escalation problem like Everything has to be huge immense world ending bullshit plots#rather than ''i am going to solve a local mystery to help local people'' things. which are important also#um. points at action comics 792. you see like superman does here? caring about one person who someone thought wouldn't matter to anyone?#sorry im just going to go on a superman tangent but ac791 and 792 both absolutely gutted me and everyone should read them#both are pretty standalone and both ruined me#one is about something tragic that happened when clark was in high school#and just wanted to try and help a girl everyone was bullying for being fat. and they became friends and had a good time at a dance together#and then the second one is about him noticing the chatty guy who runs the newspaper stand where he stops sometimes is missing#and then just stopping at nothing to try and find him. even though he's someone he barely knew outside of being a regular at his stand#and it just really got me. my god. more of that pleaseeeeeee 😭😭😭😭💕💕💕💕

Hiiiiiii. Episode 25/26 lawlight analysis rant thingy here. I don't know how to write an intro for this so let's just get to it LOL
I think one of the reasons that the rain/foot scenes stick out so much (the. Sheer insanity of a Foot Massage Scene in an anime revolving around two guys trying to kill each other aside 💀) is the fact that the anime specifically suffers a bit in terms of adapting a few of the "emotional" moments in death note.
And I don't mean "emotionally impactful" exactly. For example I think the adaptations of scenes like Raye and Naomi's deaths were very impactful and the atmospheres of their final scenes were great, but I mean more from a characterization standpoint (if that makes sense). Being more focused on mind and logic games, Death Note as a whole isn't as invested in individual characters' deeper feelings as it is in its action (which isn't necessarily a criticism per say, it's simply part of the nature of a mystery thriller series). But just because they're fewer and farther between doesn't mean there are none at all. In the manga we do get to see, for example, how much Light actually cared for his family and especially Sayu, and how he actually felt more conflicted and suffered lack of sleep/appetite when he first used the Death Note.
The anime specifically as an adaptation is pretty good at adapting the main mind fuckery and action of Death Note, but its lacking in properly adapting scenes like the ones I mentioned above is a criticism I see somewhat often, and it's pretty fair imo. Compared to all the other adaptations, it certainly seems to fall short on an emotional level: the musical has entire songs going in depth about the characters feelings and relationships, the 2015 jdrama is. Insane and has its emotional moments in spades (because it's a TV drama, which are more focused on portraying emotional conflict and the like), even the 2006 movies has its emotional beats and L Change the WorLd is. Well. Oh Man.
Anime Light to a lot of people is like. Light but he's "already evil" (which I have my own thoughts on but I digress). Light but after using the Death Note for like 2 minutes he's already like "fuck yeah time to kill criminals". Basically the anime doesn't take as much time to delve into his less cynical sides or really delve into his already vague and harder to decipher feelings in general, he is noticeably colder from the get-go here, etc.
But that's part of why I think episode 25 manages to stand out so much tonally (apart from it being, y'know, the episode L literally Dies). I love the episode so much and could probably rant for hours about how much I love the artistic choices made in it but what I'm trying to get at here is that it's one of the very few moments where the show tries to go deeper into specific character's emotions, and one of the very few moments where the show Attempts (emphasis on "attempts" because, well, you'll see in a bit) to get more in-depth into Light's feelings apart from his cynicism/apathy/justice. ness.
L in these two scenes in episode 25 is, well, pretty damn open about how he feels. It's usually interpreted as him knowing that he's going to die, and you can see it. He visibly looks/sounds lost, somber, etc. He never really had much to hide around Light to begin with (since he doesn't really care about hiding himself the same way Light does) but especially not now and it Shows, and I personally thought it was pretty cool to delve into his thoughts/show how he feels this way. The somberness can be felt throughout the entire scene, even people who don't already know the plot of Death Note from the manga could probably tell that he's about to die.
In the manga, once L starts suspecting Misa again and Rem realizes what Light is trying to do, it goes straight to Watari and L's deaths, but the anime instead gives a distinct and unexpected pause in the middle of this where L contemplates his own death. It's fucking great, and the shift from straight action to slower emotional weight makes these scenes stand out a lot, since, like I said, the show usually focuses more on the former. But it's kind of ironic, too.
Not only does the anime open up L's feelings more in these scenes, but it also tries to dig deeper into Light's feelings as well through L. And it's really funny honestly because while, yes, these are the more "emotionally open" scenes of the anime Light still manages to be Incredibly avoidant and contribute almost nothing to the entire ordeal.
L is visibly upset -> "Yeah Ryuzaki, you're not making any sense at all" (Not addressing the obvious conflict from L)
"Tell me, Light. From the moment you were born, has there ever been a point where you've actually told the truth?" -> "[The most stale, over-explained, avoidant answer to a "yes/no" question that you could ever hear + blatant attempts to reframe the question]"
(L's half-smile here kills me) "I had a feeling you'd say something like that" -> [Nothing]
"I'm sorry" -> [Nothing]
"It'll be lonely won't it? You and I will be parting ways soon" -> [Nothing]
^ From this point Light continues to say literally Nothing for the rest of the scene. I'm not even joking, from then on the rest of Light's voicelines are reduced to nothing but vague noises of confusion.
Everytime L calls Light out as a person ("Has there ever been a point where you've actually told the truth?" / "I had a feeling you'd say something like that." / "Won't it be lonely?") he doesn't actually acknowledge anything. Out of those three lines, he only answers verbally to if he's ever told the truth, and even then it's the most blatantly people-pleasing answer ever, as it usually is with Light. And I don't think it's because Light just. Doesn't care about any of what L's saying at all, or that he doesn't know what the hell he's talking about (questioning Light's authenticity as a person, saying it would be lonely when they part), instead he's choosing not to acknowledge any of what this means about himself or him and L at all. He's like a fucking wall.
And like, for the truth question in particular, the show makes sure that you know it's not something that Light just. Doesn't care enough about to answer. The hard cuts to silence are a very rare but extremely effective way that the show conveys an extremely important moment (see: Light regaining his memories, Matsuda noticing Light opening the warehouse door before he escapes (not as much of a "direct" cut to silence but still)), and cuts to multiple angles/framings/zooms of the exact same shot are also used for the same purpose (see: Light hugging Misa when she was crying, Matsuda aiming his gun to shoot Light, Light regaining his memories Again). Just like the scene where Light gets his memories back, the moment L's question finishes the show utilizes both. That question cut Deep. There's is a solid Almost 5 seconds of silence before the sound of the rain gradually starts fading back in, and honestly that should be telling enough as is (but of course Light doesn't actually admit that. Or anything at all really, so). Oh also another fun detail! We do not see Light's face At All (except for the shot where you can see his mouth moving but not his eyes), for the Entire time that he's going on his spiel to L. We Will Be Revisiting This Later, by the way. This is not, in fact, the first time you're going to see this detail from Light.
The only sort of reciprocation that we see from Light during Any of these two scenes is when Light dries L's hair while L dries his feet. Biblical meanings/references aside it's interesting because it's the only time he directly does anything "for" L in these scenes, but even then he doesn't try to pass it off as anything meaningful really the same way L does ("You're still soaked", a purely neutral and factual statement. It doesn't Add Anything compared to L's. Sin atonement loneliness grieving stuff. While Light is showing his own reciprocation to this more personal moment he also tries to keep it impersonal enough that it doesn't actually have to mean anything deep). And when L says "I'm sorry" after he once again gets no response from Light. It's also after this that L gets that pained look on his face, like he knows that at this point he's not actually going to get anything meaningful from Light (again, very significant and rare from L in the show. We've seen him in distress (see: when Ukita died, hell, when Watari dies), but even then he mostly manages to keep his usually neutral expression), we never see him "look sad" like he does here):
I just think it's interesting that this is one of the few scenes in this particular adaptation of Death Note where they try to open up the character's thoughts/feeling (especially considering the fact that they. lowkey blunder in adaptations of original scenes from the manga), and L himself is being rather open (not that he ever really tries to hide what he thinks nearly as much as Light), and yet all Light contributes to it in return is like. Actually nothing. Bro fumbled it. There is no resolution to any of this, to any of what L asks at all, to any of the many opportunities for a meaningful conversation, and the only thing even relatively close to an answer that you can get from Light is what you can infer from how he acts in the episode after L dies, where he's just going through the motions, but hardly acting as if he's actually living at all.
(Honestly I think the transition from this scene with the taskforce to the subsequent scene with Misa says enough on its own. Light's expressions and tone says everything:)
(Oh sidenote but. This shit again:
"Light, this is our first date in forever. can't you enjoy yourself a little more?" ('Why don't you seem happy? We can finally be together since L is dead') -> No response, Light instead changing the topic to him wanting to move in with Misa without changing his mannerisms at all
Also there's that one detail again. You pretty much don't see Light's expression when he speaks here at all, except for one shot of his eyes, which is quite literally the exact same shot they used when he "saw" L, just altered for the new setting. You have No idea what he looks like when he's responding to Misa, although it's probably fair to assume that it's the same empty stare he has for the whole Two Shots where you can clearly see his whole expression in the entire scene.
Something something Light Yagami bad at feelings I think you get the point though)
I guess Light's Kind of showing what he's feeling now? He'll admit to himself that it's boring without L, but no more than that. Light never actually admits to anything "significant", and L's dead already anyway, so what would that even do?
And then we get, uh. Basically nothing from Light. For the next 5 Years. Except that he joined the NPA, so, uh, yay? Good job, Light you totally nailed it! Thank you for allowing us as an audience to delve deeper into your inner thoughts and feelings as a character so we can find out more about you as a person! Very helpful! Thank you for not sabotaging one of your few dedicated opportunities to look into yourself as a person and reflect on your relationships with others and being 100% honest with yourself! We stay winning guys.
Anyway, this got way too long for a scene that's over a decade old, and I've probably just said everything that everyone else has already said in this fandom before. But unfortunately this has been living in my head for way too long and I must scream. I just think this episode's neat is all :)
tl;dr Part of the reason why the rain/foot scene (tbh episode 25 in General) stands out so much is because the Death Note anime specifically was a bit robbed in terms of its more emotional character moments compared to the other medias, which makes more somber/introspective scenes like the ones in episode 25 stand out a Lot in comparison. But it's also incredibly ironic because it's one of the few moments where the show (or specifically L) tries to look deeper into Light's character, but because he is so avoidant for the entire duration of these two scenes he adds basically nothing at all. It's almost funny. Mostly sad. It's also very gay. Aand post
Okay actually nevermind one more thing I talked about how the jdrama is supposed to be more emotionally in-depth because it is a TV Drama and just for the record, same thing happens there! I could probably do an entire analysis of the Blue Scene in this context like I did with episode 25 but I'd literally be here forever, so uh, just take this iconic line as my main example:
Same Thing. L's statement "I wish we could have met some other way" is personal. It's his own wish, his own regret that he is expressing to Light. While Light's reply obviously has that same regret implied it's also phrased in a specifically impersonal way. It's closed off. "This is the only way we could have met" it closes off the topic and simply renders L's wish as ultimately futile. Light does not say that he Also wishes he could have met L a different way even if it was likely impossible, instead it's a cold statement of cynical fact.
Idk just. Something something L being able and Willing to be more openly sentimental/emotionally open towards Light/about Light vs. Light's inability to be honest with anyone including himself and his own nature preventing any form of meaningful reciprocation. Something something self-sabotage, y'know the drill. God don't even get me Started on how sincere L's tone is when he says "It'll be lonely won't it?"(at least in the eng dub) in the anime I could talk about his tone in that scene for ages. Also yes all of this relates to L Change the WorLd too by the way. Don't ask how it just does okay.
I do think that scenes like these (rain/foot scene, The Blue Scene. Uh. L Change the WorLd The Novel Adaptation) show, at least in those adaptations, that L does genuinely care for Light, and show that he values him as a friend not just in the mindgame-equal sense but also just like, a more sincere sense you know. Idk if that made any sense and that's a whole other topic for another day but you guys just have to believe me on this one alright please please believe me buries head in hands. Okay post over finally thanks for coming to my tedtalk hope you enjoyed my very-unnecessarily long analysis of the week
#death note#dn#light yagami#l lawliet#lawlight#death note anime#coda analyzes stuff#sorry this is all very scattered and probably doesn't make sense i wrote this on a whim one day and then the post had a mind of its own#this was originally gonna be shorter but then light yagami (derogatory) happened#it was so difficult to avoid going on 27450438 different tangents i love this series btw#you know my post about LCtW parallels with Light post L's death. yeah pretend i copy pasted that whole analysis here too#it also applies and is very relevant#death note multiverse my beloved i will love you forever#i just ran this through a word counter 1K+ word rant about these scenes. in 2024. God i'm Cooked#^ LMAOOOOOOOO (laughs in ~2.5K wordcount weeks later at the time of finally finishing writing this) god I Hate it here#also sorry i havent been posting a lot of art lately i'm busy and i've decided to save up all my Art Energy for lawlight week#so i've just been finishing off and posting analysis that have been floating in my drafts.lawlight stp au parallels/notes are probably next#sorry not sorry </3

@elrondweek Day 6: Darkness & Loss
Elrond comforts Isildur during the Siege of Barad-dûr. He knows how it feels to lose a brother.
(The relationship between Elrond and Isildur is overlooked and underrated. It was a strong friendship - a bond of kinship, even; because although an age has passed, Elrond could still see the tenacity of Elros present in this family.
Of course, Elrond held no ill will towards Isildur for making a mistake, especially one born out of grief. Elrond knows all about forgiveness. Fostering his surviving son and later descendants exemplified Elrond’s compassion and the lasting respect he had for this line of Men.)
#elrondweek#Elrond#isildur#sorry for going off on a tangent#but this relationship is fascinating and important to me#tolkien#lotr

Omg did you see Damian's story in the super pets special 😭?? Like on the one hand it's cute (WIGGLES THE DRAGON NOW CANONICALLY NAMED WIGGLES THE DRAGON LETS GOO) but also so sad?? Between this and the dex-starr story the super pets special had no right to get to me lmao
was bag n boarding comics and thought of your ask, so read Super-Pets: Bitedentity Crisis again 🥺
“Refuge” still makes me wail especially with how Damian addresses each of his pets with sm regret 😭
PKJ needs to bring them back bc i can’t live with this being their last appearance by losing trust in Damian orz THOSE ARE HIS BABIES
Dex-Starr in “The Little Cat” was nice for similar somber reasons BUT i just did a small dive into who exactly Dexter was bc HUH it sounds like it’s better when knowing his history! AND OK YEAH I GOT MORE SAD 😭 TY FOR MENTIONING HIM BUT AWGH 😭
Green Lantern (2005) #55 Dexter swearing revenge on the one that killed his owner…his lil tears… he tried to protect her too!! i feel ill
context for others: Dexter’s owner was killed in a home invasion, and after Dexter was pushed out into the streets, he’s grabbed by randos to dump him in a river for fun - became a red lantern mid-drop 💀 HE’S A GOOD KITTY 😭
also been really into Christopher Mitten’s dreamy style with Dan Watters more storybook-like writing in this and “Aleasa”!!
first and last page of Detective Comics (2016) #1080 backup…phew
sorry for more promo but!! CHRISTOPHER MITTEN AND TRIONA FARRELL ON COLORS GOES HARD
#ask#you said to ignore this ask but i appreciate your comic thoughts v much!! 🥺#i can delete if you’re not ok with me going ahead in answering but just know i’m v grateful!#like i wouldnt have looked deeper into Dexter on my initial read and now i’m actually tempted to peek into the lanterns side of DC…someday…#also sorry for Mitten tangent he’s been gradually going up in my intriguing artists list lol

Why are people always so shocked when South Park handles a topic well?? I’ll see so many articles that are like “wow even SOUTH PARK is calling you guys out” tf you mean? They’ve BEEN doing this??
#I’ve seen fans of the show do this too#like why do people act like this show is nothing but a bunch of hateful nonsense???#I can’t help but wonder at times if some people here even LIKE the show because a lot of what I’ve seen makes me think otherwise#it’s one thing to be critical of the show (and you probably SHOULD be in all honesty)#being a fan of this show doesn’t mean you can’t acknowledge its flaws#there are a lot of things in this series that absolutely could’ve been handled better or aged poorly etc#but DAMN some of y’all I swear (mostly Twitter people)#like I once saw someone complain that the show has antisemitic jokes???#uh hello??? are you new here??#You don’t have to LIKE it I’m just saying#why are we surprised when a show known for being offensive is offensive??#I also just think people need to learn the difference between the show making poor writing choices (as they definitely have) and having#personal preferences#Not EVERY decision made in the show you don’t like means it’s bad writing#sorry I didn’t mean to go off of a tangent lmaooo#people just be getting on my nerves sometimes 😭😭😭

gojo hangover morning brainrot…sigh
he sleeps over at ur house n u wake up N HES ALL MESSY HAIRED N HE HAS LIPSTICK ON HIS FACE FROM U KISSING HIM LAST NIGHT AND STILL EEPING AWAY
he opens his eyes when u fidget around and then he pulls you closer and he’s like “why are u moving baby it’s early” N UR LIKE TORU IT IS 11AM I NEED TO GET UP and he just mumbles something inaudible and buries his face in your pillows but he still has u trapped in his arms so u have no choice but to js melt into him and let him cuddle u.
after u finally get him out of bed he js sort of trails after u while u do ur morning things. and he rests his chin on your shoulder while ur making coffee and he’s all bleary eyed and wearing an oversized teeshirt u found in ur closet for him 😭 😭 i have an image in my brain of him tripping over all ur furniture n stuff when he first wakes up because “its too bright to have my eyes open” he says
if he does manage to survive until u hand him a cup of coffee (with enough sugar to give a small Victorian child an aneurysm) he leans against ur countertop and bumps his head on the upper cabinets but every time u tell him to be careful he still hits his silly little head on everything that’s lower down than he expects it to be. and he gets pouty when you get dressed for the day because it’s “harder to cuddle you” when ur not in cozy clothes. he tries to drag you into his arms every second he can bc his head is pounding and he js needs some kisses to make it better—though in reality he needs to eat more than just a cinnamon roll and some hi-chews for breakfast and he needs to start taking care of himself smh
when he first wakes up his voice is still sleepy so he’s got that good morning voice AND WHEN HE SAYS GOOD MORNING HE BLINKS AND HIS EYES SOMEHOW GET MORE BEAUTIFUL and he gets kinda bashful when u stare and he starts making corny comments 😭. idk man i just kinda really like gojo he’s the cutest pookie bear ever <33 bbg 3000
#ok now I’m done#sorry I went on such a long tangent..#GOJO BRAINROT UGHFHHFHFJ#he won’t get out of my head i need this king to go away#📰.headcanon.#gojo satoru jjk#gojo jjk#gojo jujutsu kaisen#gojo satoru#gojo headcanons#gojo fanfic#gojo x reader#jjk gojo

'I want you to continue to be who you are.' what if i fucking died what then
#i rewatched stolas' confession and i just screaming crying throwing up#i feel like that tells you with upmost certainty that stolas genuinely adores blitz hes so in love with him#stolitz#stolas#blitzø#helluva boss#blitzo#blitz#hb full moon#also do you think blitz mother said something similar to him back then#i can 100% see this being a quote thats paralleled later on#and it would make so much heartbreaking sense with tilla#like going by the shot in the trailer#hes wearing that outfit from the accident#(i know its probably a hallucination but it might be a hallucination that creates a flashback scene)#i hc he went to her and their last conversation was about confessing to fizz#and she said to him something like 'always be you no matter what'#also hc she helped him with the letter (just cause of the correct spelling)#and she gave him her necklace as good luck (and thats why he still has it)#cause if everyone believed he did it on purpose nobody wouldve given him anything of hers#sorry i am going off on a tangent here#can you tell i want the ghostfuckers ep so badly!!!
