hot take maaaybe but imo the core tragedy of satoru is that he’s not a god, he’s literally just a normal guy who got godhood pushed onto him by other people . a god would be able to handle eternal solitude no problem but satoru isn’t one so he suffers for it
#which is an interesting contrast to geto who /wants/ non-sorcerers to view him as a god-like figure#i could talk for hours abt their parallels they really are sooo similar and so different all at once#but yeah … satoru is Just Some Guy to me <3#i don’t even think he’s really that freaky or feral#he just enjoys the thrill of battle but that’s the standard of living in the society he was born into#you know ?#like . yeah#sorry i woke up thinking abt him today#it’s such a delicate balance bc i doo think he’s uncanny in many ways but all of that is related to his powers#that are basically just family heirlooms he was born wearing#at his core satoru is just a normal man and i think that’s absolutely soulcrushing#anyway that’s all </3 i miss my husband#ari noises ✩#meta ✩

Lady Bone Demon: "No back up and no weapon, so your plan is to...fist fight a child?" Sun Wukong: "We both know that's not what you are!" [...]
Lady Bone Demon: "Stop! Have you forgotten? Destroy me, and you destroy the host. Have you become so desperate to end me that you would sacrifice this blameless, innocent child?" Sun Wukong: "You're giving me no choice! All the time you spent locked away, and you haven't changed a bit. I'm going to finish you, like I should have done a long time ago!"
(3x11 This Imperfect World)

Sun Wukong: "I know! But...he's not ready!" Macaque: "You mean you're not ready. You really are the worst mentor. He need- We need to know everything we can." Sun Wukong: "He's just a kid! Can't he just-" Macaque: "He's not just a kid!"
(5x01 Strings that Bind)

Have you forgotten who I am? What I am? Until I know what I am, what my destiny is? I can't risk hurting the people I care about, the ones I have left.

wait, imagine this in episode 8 after luke's betrayal:
percy opens his eyes, groggy and dazed.
it's dark outside, but this time, there's no storm.
however, there seems to be something obscuring his vision, and it takes him a few seconds to recognize annabeth's outline.
he manages to croak out, "hey, what happened?"
she replies, "you idiot."
then, he fades back into unconsciousness, but he thinks he heard a smile in her voice.
#I'm just saying#something along these lines would be a nice parallel with the “you drool when you sleep” scene#honestly#it doesn't even have to be in the middle of the night#the contrast between “you drool when you sleep” and this but it's bright outside and percy is actually conscious might even work better#I just thought that with the way they did the “you drool when you sleep”#what I wrote above would be closer to what they may have been going for#and it would remind us that they're still twelve#and that they've faced gods at twelve years old#percy jackon and the olympians#percy jackson#pjo#annabeth chase#pjo tv show#pjo spoilers#pjo tv spoilers

Chapter 32 of Nothing Ventured is on AO3 now! Featuring a discussion of fishman eggs, Marcille's impractical packing choices, and Dadchuck Tims activated. How many ways will these boys say they're in love without saying the words?
Chapter CW for restrictive/disordered eating, including thoughts consistent with an eating disorder. Proceed with caution if that could be a trigger for you!
#dungeon meshi#delicious in dungeon#chilaios#laichil#i mean#i don't want to word of god that that's what he's thinking#things are left up to interpretation intentionally#but I do find the idea that they've been dancing around the L word for ages very funny#when your POV character is too emotionally constipated to even use the word 'love' in narration#there's another word he doesn't use in narration either#oo themes and parallels and contrasts

Actually. The most fucked up line from the trailer is how the collectors collect things so they can "never pass". Because I mean like. The Implications of it.
In a show that's all about change and grief. Where the collectors' main enemies were the Titans, beings that notably made new life, instead of just preserving what was already there. Where the main villains motive is his selfish inability to let go of his big brother and their childhood dream, resulting in a brutal cycle of destruction for the grimwalkers and the near genocide of the boilings isles. Where the main character's conflict stems from being pulled between an old, familiar but unkind world where she has only one person whos fighting for her, and a new, strange, horrifying but ultimately accepting world where she's grown a family that's now in danger of being turned into mindless puppets.
This is the thematic backdrop against which the collector and his kind have been set.
In other words: my friend who's seen spoilers was right. This episode IS going to make me cry
#ramblings of a lunatic#the owl house#toh#the owl house spoilers#toh spoilers#the collector#toh belos#luz noceda#i once saw this great video essay made after the s2 finale titled ''the ignorant inner child''#that (while slightly outdated in it's predictions) states that Belos and the collector are parallels because they're both immature childreb#*children#with the collector this is seemingly literal but with belos it's all metaphorical and represents how deranged he is clinging onto the past#and obviously this all ties in to how Luz's hero's journey in s1 was learning that the boiling isles isn't an idealistic fantasy world-#-where she's just inherently special. she has to learn that it's all in her actions and decisions that define who she is#(a contrast to belos who does believe he's gods specialist little boy above everyone else on the isles)#we realize as the series goes on that Luzs want to be special stems from a need to be useful which stems from guilt which stems from grief#and it's soooooo#hm. i am not ready for this episode me thinks!

greens on twitter calling jaime a criston fanboy unironically is kinda sending me. he just knows a lot about knights and keeps infodumping to loras. like that man is not even the only one they talk about here. he describes him as someone that in some ways represents the best and the worst of the kg. it is quite a neutral stance. a parallel is meant to be drawn, yes: it is emphasizing the themes of legacy, kg as agents of state violence while also being individuals with agency, and jaime and his role in the narrative (and how the readers may interpret him), but like he is not hero worshipping here in the slightest. he romanticizes a lot of knights, he even acknowledges this:
criston’s not really one of them though. he never mentions him outside of when he is reading his wiki page. this is not an arthur dayne situation in the slightest. in fact, while i acknowledge the kingmaker thing having some potential for foreshadowing, especially with faegon/aegon name parallel in the mix + indirect results of valonqar (ntm king bran in the long term), I also think it refers to events that already occured. jaime has already stated: “I have made kings and unmade them.” this can be referring to robert, joff, and now tommen, to varying extents. which is interesting to look at considering how these respective rulers are like, the consequences of their rule, and how that reflects on the ones that serve and represent them. this is something that barristan for example struggles with more overtly
#hotd twt and their insistence on recruiting og characters for their cause pls give me a break 😭#i promise u u can enjoy ur faves without doing that lmao#jaime lannister#valyrianscrolls#asoiaf#criston cole#there r ways u can connect and compare and contrast these two butlets not lie guys#god bless#and dont get me started about how every time jaime directly parallels himself to someone it is in a negative light#it is usually bitter self loathing moments#this is not direct tho like he does not compare himself to him he actually places himself in the ‘worst’ category here#it is the reader that is meant to make that connection imo

My favorite part about Eska is that it’s kind of. Transparently obvious she isn’t really loyal to Unalaq if you pay attention to her. Desna is over here singing his praises for the entire season and she stands next to him, ever so conveniently not saying a word in his defense.
#rue rants#Idk. It’s very clear that the writers didn’t expect you to register them as different people#But if you actually pay attention to them. They’re so fascinating#Parallels to Amon and Tarrlok. Eska’s implied disloyalty.#Desna’s complete devotion contrasted with his reaction to finding out his father is dead#It’s so. God.

oh my god i just got to the pinnochimon's dangerous game episode (43)
oh my god you all were not kidding about that puppet packing heat
#sky talks#digimon#digimon adventure#the amount of out of context screenshots i just sent to our brother#i know it's serious in-text but i couldn't stop laughing jknfdsjkbfsdfs#like god damn how the hell did the dub manage to get around that at ALL??#i also know the stylistic contrast of Cute Cartoony Characters vs that's just a real ass gun is like#an artistic choice that the creators probably made#because again the text of the episode pretty explicitly shows that pinochimon doesn't really care about the consequences of shooting people#i doubt it's naivete so much as a lack of comprehension for the lives of others being more than “toys” to him#especially seeing his insecurities when tk calls him out on not having a single friend#and then when he “makes” a friend it's explicitly a doll shaped after him#because he's the only person he could see himself being a friend to#i always have such mixed feelings about the dark master's arc for reasons that this rewatch might actually remedy#but pinochimon's arc was always interesting in that it's one of few arcs in the original series that isn't super subtle about paralleling#one of the digidestined's current crises#like sub or dub it's super obvious that pinochimon is an inverse of yamato's crest of friendship#and by extension yamato himself#insecurity and a lack of trust in other people is what drives them both to suffer#yamato because he can't seem to imagine others in the group caring for his brother as much as he can#(which is a long-term issue but ramps up again in the dark master's arc unsurprisingly)#pinochimon because he can't trust any other digimon to be his equals#if anything pinochimon#along with all the dark masters#are like coworkers not friends#anyways#it's still extremely fucking jarring seeing that puppet boy packing heat

still thinking abt these shots in particular
#fuck im never gonna be normal abt this ep i think#but. GOD.#the color contrast in the first one makes me insane but the fact that yuji’s shadow is missing his HEART ?????????? fuck#ALSO. grabs ur shoulders. do u see the geto/yuji parallels. do you see them.#choosing to protect others because youre strong. being broken down by a system that punishes kindness and rewards selfishness#choosing to simply kill and kill in the hope that there will be meaning to find in your actions after your death#the only difference is geto is obsessed w morals while yuji throws away human rationality#which ironically enough makes him more moral in our eyes bc geto’s morals arent ones we agree with#im normal abt suncoded boys and the ways they will inevitably break beneath the boot of the system <33#jjk spoilers

i love how kh games are just sometimes psychological horrors
#like#u forget it a little bit when playing bc its like haha disney and also like#the gameplay kind of breaks what the fuckness bc u got shit to do now#at least for me im like woah thats fucked up but i cant think too hard abt it bc im trying to finish the game#but its not until you like actively sit and think abt it or like even explaining it to someone else#where youre like god damn this is a tragedy and also a horror story#like fuck castle oblivion and all the horrors of com is like???#and then the prologue for kh2 is definitely a psychological horror#i see a lot of people praise sora and go aw hes so brave and strong when sora like#actively ignores literally anything bad that happens to him#like that one scene in neverland in kh1 where sora was like LITERALLY SO SAD AND UPSET ABT KAIRI#and then immediately does a u turn and is like omg i flew wait until i tell kairi :)#and some people are like aw hes being so brave and he has faith that kairi can come back and he can save her#and that made me so upset when i first saw that scene bc to me i was like immediately oh hes just repressing#or someone was even like what a good boy about him stabbing himself in the heart to save kairi#like yeah i love a self sacrifical 14 yr old#i guess cuz like. idk most stories that are like in the same genre as kh do make shit like this like a positive thing? like dont focus on th#the bad things stay positive and all that#and it works in those stories dont get me wrong i do like them and it works in the beginning of kh but like#then you notice that sora doesnt process literally anything#in the game that tells you repressing the negativity is a bad thing#like rikus whole story line staring you in the face and youre still saying sora being positive and Not Thinking about literally anything bad#is a good thing#and like i said it worked in the beginning! it worked as intended!! then weird and upsetting things started happening to sora and that shit#piles up!!!! and you can see it happen in real time and sora was cracking HARD in kh3 i dont think ive ever seen that kid so god damn sad#idk where i was going with this#oh yeah psychological horros#the parallels between data sora and real sora and the contrasts haunt me every day#michi tag

i need to study fogado like a bug i need to blorbo assign him one of my fake emblems for au paralle purposes he CANNOT remain the only one of the young royals i dont have deranged blorbo thoughts over
hortensia and alcryst were easy because Bias and celine took. a lot of cooking to hook my claws in but. i'm coming for you fogado just you wait I'LL BRAINWORM YOU YET
#feli speaks#the thing that makes him difficult is that he has his shit together#same as celine really hence i also took a long time to think of stuff to do with her#firene and solm are so hard work with because the guys are just. they're doing fine!#no big parental drama no warfare no nothin. no sibling drama no whatever#i know solm does espionage which is inch resting to me esp since i have been rotating emblem sothe#sothe might actually be a good contrast for fogado...#since sothe is Devoted Wholly to micaiah whereas fogado is perfectly content never seeing the throne#he loves timerra and wants to help her but he's chill about it. whereas sothe is Not#i have parallels but contrasts... contrasts are also fun...#see i just need to put my mind to it#tomorrow i'm reading all his supports i swear to god

had a moment of recognition of self in the favorite characters that made me go GOD DAMN IT GOD DAMN IT out loud
#still have not written up my thoughts on the parallels between the gobusters being a healthy sibling relationship where all#three of them are traumatized and have their own issues but they love each other and have a healthy team sibling relationship#in a parallel and contrast to enter and escape who i view as a toxic sibling relationship where you and your sibling are pitted#against each other and trying to get in the good graces of your awful parent and lashing out at each other and hurting each other#but you still love each other at the end but its not at all a healthy sibling relationship in comparison to the gobusters#anyway was just thinking to myself oh i have a shitty father who ive spent all of my life having to parent him and try#to please him and its impossible to please him no matter how hard you try or how much you do for him he always ends up#throwing tantrums and never appreciating all the stuff you do for him and acting like you only exist for him to use and as i was thinking#that i was like oh god DAMN IY
