ep 43 had me tearing up in a fucking shopping centre ‼️‼️
b+w alt version that I truly couldn't decide if I liked it more . Also I included a lot of thoughts in the tags but they're somewhat incoherent<3
#i dont know what i expected but i was waiting for a friend and too excited to wait until later#malevolent podcast#john doe#john doe malevolent#john malevolent#malevolent fanart#grimm art#ep 43#ep 43 left me with a lot of thoughts ... i didnt quite like how much of a recap it felt like at times but that might#be because ive been relistening and like yeah everyone knows that john 🙄 but that's not the case for everyone and with monthly uploads#things get forgotten easily#i find the discussion of “humanity” so interesting because John has shown that without someone that he has forcibly grown to value as an#equal... something he cannot do as the king of yellow as he is superior to all of his realm and presumably stays out of other elder god's#anyway. without that equality and enviroment to grow he fails to reach his goal of compassion and falls onto old ways.#John. The King in Yellow. shown by both times each has found themselves in human form do not just crave power and influence!!!#THEY CRAVE COMMUNITY!!! an endrich being not born or raised with nothing but power and ego#CRAVES COMMUNITY.#His goal of “humanity” is not a selfless goal like John projects - it is ultimately somewhat selfish as he does not want to be alone!!#which makes this desire so much more human#i don't know maybe this is just me spelling out whats already there but the way john and the witch argued about humanity frustrated me#it felt like they were missing the point or that perhaps the “good/evil” “black/white” retoric was already realised by me and john needed#realise it himself . which is fair !!!#i dont know!!!!#the witch was talking about how bad everyone was and how humanity is cruel and john was talking about Lily (#who also frustrates me how shes used in the plot somewhat she was literally just a nurse doing her job bro#) but to John - yes internally he is struggling with his moral greyness and im so proud of him for growing being himself SO PROUD#JUST.!!! he wants community. he needs community. he loves his friend. 'humanity' at its core does not matter as long as you try to be bette#and i think thats awesome and i really enjoyed the episode#guhh im rambling enjoy my tag rambling i dont know i want john to have more friends :(#yorrick can be another friend godd i love you yorrick so silly

I have all of these extended thoughts on my head about the amazing way themes and character relationships are handled in Iruma-kun and the inclusion of queerness and the handling of the coming of age narrative in this shonen manga/anime
And every time all that comes out when I'm reccing it is "You should watch/read it"
Do it. Go watch/read Mairimashita! Iruma-kun/Welcome to Demon School Iruma-kun
Please.
#mairimashita! iruma kun#m!ik#welcome to demon school iruma kun#i just be ramblin#anime recommendation#manga recommendation#Like okay baseline on its surface it's an isekai anime about a teenage boy who is sold to a demon by his terrible parents and has to go to#school in the demon realm and live there without being found out (otherwise he thinks he'll be eaten)#But it's also a story about growing up and a story about a kid from a terrible situation learning what it means to (and being allowed to)#have goals and ambitions and wants#It's about a kid who gets all his needs met for the first time in his life (and a little spoiled) and figures out he wants everyone to have#that#It's about friendship and bonds and the importance of working together with others#It debunks that usual take about how humanity's base traits are evil and greed and the urge to murder and steal and whatnot through#the comparison to demons‚ who are said to be all of those things at their core and yet in actuality aren't beholden to it#It's about outcasts coming together not letting other people determine their worth and proving just how high they can reach and what they#can accomplish. they force the world to recognize them instead of assimilating#It's about what happens to outcasts who are taken in by bad actors vs outcasts who get genuine support#It's about kindness#It's about how adults should both help the next generation improve while also being their defenders from things they shouldn't have to#handle yet#It's even about the dangers of being fully selfless or fully selfish. How personal desire/the serving of oneself and kindess/the serving of#others should be balanced#About how desire is not inherently terrible and about how being constantly self serving stunts one's growth#And it's also about a human who got sold to a demon and is gonna be the demon king one day#Thinking about this manga makes me want to chew through concrete I love it so much#*how constantly serving others stunts one's growth

Hello! Just coming in to say that I honestly don’t think any of the characters in tgk really understand just how much regulus loves James. This man comes back from the dead and instead of leaving to live his own life somewhere far away from all the horrors, he literally finds James son and does everything in his power to protect him and befriend him. He makes Hogwarts safer for Harry and he offers him a home/family. He looks after him physically, emotionally, mentally, etc. and all the while he’s doing this he still thinks that the love of his life didn’t care for him and easily moved on and forgot about him. I know Harry and Sirius and every body knows that he dated James but like I don’t think they realize just how deeply he loved him to be willing to do all that. (And yes I know his motivations changed as he got to know Harry and the other kids and it wasn’t just for James later on) but still. I just need them all to realize the absolute devotion that he has for James. I just feel like every body glosses over that
i think that’s one of the tragedies of the golden king. regulus experiences so many tumultuous feelings about his life and his love for james, and no one know. and regulus just isn’t the type to share that kind of thing. he wouldn’t want them to feel like he was owed something so he’d never share.
#i think regulus was selfless in a lot of ways and i really wanted the golden king to reflect that personality trait#he’s almost selfless to the point of self harm#but at the same time he just wants to take care of the people he loves#the golden king#jegulus#asks#regulus black

I can’t believe Taryn betrayed Jude even after the whole Undersea shit went down. Your sister was tortured everyday for a over month, you saw all of what it did to her, and you still decide to hurt her even further? As if she hasn’t already gone through enough??
And to do it only to potentially be the most favored by their father?
Taryn: When Jude goes low, I bring her lower
#and it wasnt long at all after the undersea😭😭💀💀#oh my GOD#jude wanted to protect her and all taryn ever did was put Jude in harms way#taryn was only ever wholly selfish while jude was wholly selfless#taryn is so hostile toward jude when jude isnt even aware shes done anything wrong#jude is literally so dissmisive if she even lets herself THINK of taryn in a negative way#and taryn doesnt bat an eye to discredit jude#the fact that taryn was the one who told locke about jude (comma) and locke tells jude that shes not like “they” said she would be#like that totally not suspicious#taryn snitches on jude 'possibly' having cardan JUST BECAUSE SHES UPSET JUDE WONT GET PUNISHED AS SHE DID FOR THE DUEL#taryn didnt care whether or not jude had him (comma🙄) she was willing to throw cardan and jude under the bus for some petty fucking shit#her actions are the epitome of hideous#she thinks jude is her mirror so she projects onto jude#horribly#the wicked king#queen of nothing#the cruel prince#jude duarte#like I don’t HATE HATE Taryn but I rlly fucking dislike her

#i'm so invested in shanks' potential bachelor status now
He is literally married to buggy since he was 12. Have some decency/j
that "come with me" loguetown scene really did feel like a proposal tbh...... if shanks had held out a ring instead of his hand would buggy have been tempted to follow?? the answer is probably yes and i think that's really fucking funny
#like jingling a toy with a shiny bell in front of a cat#pspppsps buggy.. come with me.. pspsppsp#no but really shanks is so unintentionally(?) romantic sometimes#can we talk about that for a sec?????#if i found out someone gave up on their chance to see the greatest treasure in the world#because i was SICK????#i would lose my mind#shanks stayed behind to take care of his best friend because laughtale wasn't worth seeing without him#that's such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to pass up on too. and yet he was so certain they'd conquer the grand line together again#the sheer devotion. the selflessness and sacrifice#not to mention that said devotion was reciprocated#for someone as selfish as buggy to sacrifice his own dream and wholeheartedly believe that shanks could be king......#i mean.. what else is there to say?#that's love#the shuggy.. the shuggy is real#ask

guy trapped in a hell of his own creation: haha ive never done anything wrong in my entire life. and im always right:] anyway. why did my little brother move out:(
its so funny to me that at first glance tashi seems like hed be the most 'normal' out of all the clones but at least all the others are slowly healing n shit while hes just getting more and more insane each day and one day hell snap and explode and maim someone
#my art#my funky guys#HES SO FUCKING STUPID.#tashi im sorry ily but youre literally the dumbes fucking motherfucker ive ever seen. and a cringe loser. never change king<3#like. this guy realised he was a clone when he was a month old and decided to base his new personality entirely#on the idealised version of the original he made up in his head.#like he did this to himself!!! he chose to revolve his entire personality around being a 'perfect flawless mom friend'!!!!!!!#in his head hes like the most selfless & altruistic person to ever walk the earth but in reality hes a sad selfish mess who just wants to#be loved.#he started out as a pretty nice and level headed guy who wanted to help ppl but then it just spiraled when he made that his entire#personality bc of his inability to move on from a lie he really wanted to be true.#he percieves shiro as this perfect flawless leader figure and he wants DESPERATELY to imitate that. deep down its not enough for him to#simply coparent and share responsibility w the others. no no no he has to be The Leader and do everything himself!#this mindset results in him later on starting to dismiss and undervalue his familys work and commitment to keeping them all alive-#esp soup. like sHE WAS THERE W HIM FROM THE VERY BEGINNING THEY ARE EQUALS THEY ARE BOTH EQUALLY IMPORTRANT#AND HES SO FAR UP HIS ASS HE FORGOT. somewhere along the line he forgot. he missed the point. he spiraled too deep.#and he knows. he knows but hes so terrified of change and growth and admitting he CANT do this alone.#he wants to be a cool epic capable solo leader AND he craves family and connection soooo badly he cant live w/o his loved ones.#so yeah. hes an angry little pathetic freak<3 i love him#despite all that hes not a bad person. just a flawed guy thrown into a situation so stressful and traumatising that he clinged to the only#coping mechanism he had at the time and just sorta. ran with it.#dw he gets better tho! it takes a lot and his and sticks relationship is strained for a LONG time but he slowly gets better. good for him

i can defend the choice but i do wonder what it means that i default to making AU Sylvies 'very goal-oriented'/ruthless. i have not read that many AUs (of the not-canon-divergence type) but i feel like i'd remember if that was what most people focussed on with her in the ones i've read.
also sometimes the goals i make her so set upon have some obvious flaw that she just ignores, but i think i could defend that too if i had to.
i suppose the difference is some people set out to write AUs in which she is happier and thus softer and less stabby, while other people (inc me) don't. the fear she inspires is part of what makes her so hot i mean compelling as a fictional character.
#fic related#in the back of my mind pondering whether i should put some kind of a warning for that on this fic in case people expect more fluff#it ends with everyone happy! but she is not shall we say 'even remotely selfless' on the road to that happiness.#i see the point that with a different backstory she'd be less harsh but sometimes a woman is just Very Driven and that's okay!#if any other characters suffer Consequences well that's their own fault for getting in her way and/or for being of some use to her!#i think the only reason i actually finished the adultery AU was my need to see AU Sylvie win by promoting one of her pawns to king 👑#in this one she's aiming lower (...no really that's the actual plot) but i still need her to succeed in her schemes#god forbid a woman be firmly focussed on a thing she wants and treat the men around her like chess pieces!#(until she inevitably falls in love with at least one of them about halfway through the story and comes to regret her earlier choice)#(well maybe not regret as such. but she'd become more aware of the downsides to the success of whatever her plans were.)#(“oh that maybe didn't go as well as i expected. oh well YOLO as they say.”)#i for one would NOT try to stop her in the citadel at the end of time i would simply accept that sometimes the loom will kill everyone!

"One of the great liabilities of history is that all too many people fail to remain awake through great periods of social change. Every society has its protectors of status quo and its fraternities of the indifferent who are notorious for sleeping through revolutions. Today, our very survival depends on our ability to stay awake, to adjust to new ideas, to remain vigilant and to face the challenge of change."
-Martin Luther King, Jr.

honey you’re so hot when you cheat on your wife for me
#literally so good. i’m glad i made this nori’s canon#like it sucks. for everyone. but it also rules#no need to fear being returned to the circle when you’re dicking down the king :)#i do think she and alistair and anora get along Fine after a while. i think nori and anora are the brains behind the operation usually#until alistair figures his shit out#which to be clear is a mistake considering nori is 19 and stupid. but still#i think after this like. year+ or however long the game takes of nori being forced into selflessness because she was forced into being a#warden. this is the one thing she gets to take back right? this is the thing she gets to have for herself.#she’ll make alistair king because it’s in the best interest of ferelden but she isn’t giving him up#i like her :) can’t wait to make her in the datv cc bc she looks so bad in origins rn.#LOL#漫言#z plays da#oc. nori#r. placeholder tag

all i'm saying is that magnifico's morning routine absolutely consists of standing in front of a mirror (or many mirrors) marveling at himself and insisting that amaya come and see how good he looks
every. morning.
someone give this lady a prize for putting up with this absolute idiot of a man
#˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗ 《 headcanon 》#why no i didn't just spend the entire evening in a discord call with casi discussing ThemTM again#what do you mean 8T;;;#amaya patiently humors him and it's astonishing to me#“yes dear you look just as handsome as yesterday now pls come help me with my hair”#you can look and marvel at him but you can't touch u-u#this is his gift to you all: as a selfless and benevolent king :D#shAKES HIM

Ah...aghh...I'M SHAKING, I love that novel. It's finally getting SOMETHING. Maybe there's a chance of it getting an anime series and it's definitely going to get translated into English right? I can say for SURE that it's one of my favorite fantasy novel I've ever read e v er, it has several parts (it's ongoing) and I like the second part the most so far because the protagonist for that section is really unique. He's one of the sweetest character I've seen, I like him because he's a good boy. Although that's not all there is to him though. I can't wait to see that part being turned into a comic. Now everybody will be able to see how interesting and endearing of a character Josua is, he's very artistic, fragile, complex, naive, insane, sweet, lonely, caring and strong-willed, the whole plot was a journey of self-acceptance and growth and love. A lot of fun things happen there and the fantasy elements of the story was intriguing too!
Some time ago, I got an ask asking what this novel is like after having drawn a fanart of the novel, I held it off to reply back to it properly when I had the time but I ended up never getting back to it (I'm so sorry ;v;) well, if it gets a webtoon it should get an english edition right? so now you'll know why I love it so much!! I'd love to share a lot of my thoughts on it when it comes around. I really hope it goes well because the original work is very good. It's so worth it, I thought the piece was written beautifully and the lore was compelling. It's STILL incomplete though, this series has been going on for over 20 years with like a 10 year hiatus in between (thankfully I picked it up AFTER the hiatus was over.)
I'm glad there's something I will be able to look forward to seeing!! I HAVE to see Demonic being animated. It will suit that story so well. If the webtoon turns out to be a hit, I feel it'll have a solid chance for it to have one because it was like, my favorite thing!!(I have A LOT of favorites!!)
#children of the rune#god..josua is such a good character though#it'd be hard to find a character who speaks as kind as he does#and I always pick up the super sweet saints in every fandom I go.. I love the p3 protagonist.. I love yoh from shaman king..#josua is just as kind as those two I think#I find him to be someone who's very selfless#he is kind of crazy but you'll see how he's like#idk but if you like the protagonist of p3 you might like him#I just like them because I think they're both very sweet and caring#...while they used to be very lonely.

Fuck you Young Royals for forcing me to go through this painful process while patient notes keep piling.
I hate you. Except I don’t. ❤️🩹
#this explains why i ‘never had a favorite show’#didn’t know my own taste (pun intended) so i pretended to like things i didn’t actually like#this show is a good one#it has helped me tremendously.#and this process has helped me tremendously in the journey to finding inner peace ❤️🩹#and it helps me get rid of absolutist thinking. which is harmful for the surgeon per their role in society.#i recognize that i do not have to like every single character in a show for it to be my favorite show#i just have to like the main couple#also a shoutout FU to omar (affectionate)#i love you king ❤️🩹#(like fuck you to simon’s sister for real.#it makes me incredibly uncomfortable that she only felt the need to sincerely apologize to simon#after she had felt slighted by her loved one.#oh and her autism and adhd isn’t a fucking excuse#my co-resident is one of the kindest men i’ve ever met and he just recently discovered he had ADHD.#he’s dealing with that while in residency to provide for his family.#just because life is difficult he keeps going.#and look at Simon!!!#same mother and father and upbringing.#and i don’t even need to get into wille’s own selflessness.#nah for real. FUCK. HER.)#thank you for coming to my Ted talk.#you can see yourself out. 🎤#young royals#wilmon

I can really write an essay about gojo’s past arc because it’s really at the point where I need to be asked specific questions so I’m not rambling on forever
#jjk has lost me tbh#like shibuya is just not good and the consistency of the current plot is just… not there#and I love itadori down 😭 but I got to call a spade a spade#I just think that gege’s writing is at its BEST in contained arcs#like longer arcs is where he don’t even know what he doing bc he’s adding so much with no conclusions#why is WHY gojo’s past arc is so good and brilliant#gojo x geto x riko x toji was an excellent combo to worldbuild with and show why there’s such a nihilistic feel to sorcerers#and why gojo does not praise the same system that basically upholds him as a king#and just the way gojo and geto start the arc and finish it is *chefs kiss*#but gojo’s relationship with all three of them is just so good like I can’t get over it#gojo who is born blessed & riko who is born to die for the system that upholds him as such#gojo the spoiled arrogant guy becoming empathetic & taking on a selfless role as a teacher bc of what happened#vs. geto the respectable charming guy becoming cynical and downright hateful to justify their world#gojo the top of this system and was handed everything vs. Toji who was bottom of the barrel#but he worked for everything despite how much tragedy and life fought against him#JUST FOR HIS SON TO BE BORN with the revered curse that rivals gojo#I was gonna say you can’t make that shit up but gege did and it was GREAT

The first question which the priest and the Levite asked was: ‘If I stop to help this man, what will happen to me?’ But the good Samaritan reversed the question: ‘If I do not stop to help this man, what will happen to him?’
