no but i found this one video commentary about the final episode and the parts where the tiktoker said "this whole series was basically a torture show for Boston because the writers don't like people like Boston" and "the last episode was just to make sure that we as the audience hate him as much as the writers hate him" and "the writers wanted us to hate Boston so much that they completely changed his narrative" and "my biggest problem was with how they wrote Boston" pretty much sum it all up for me

third playthru antics so far involve gale agreeing to the hag's bargain and getting his eye fucked up in the process <3 and tbh i actually think this is the funniest possible choice they could make as a party since they all dismiss ethel's "netherese magic BLEUGH" reveal as just a symptom of gale already having that shit in his system. like its too much of a coincidence for something so ancient and mythic to happen TWICE to the SAME random guy so theyre all like yeah no shit !!!! gale is the netherese guy !!!! we knew that like a week ago idiot !!!!! foresight is not a gift im givng these people i am so sorry king </3

I remember seeing a post that had something like "I understand the narrative point of Grimmer having to die, but...", but I don't remember how and where I found it, so I don't know who I could directly ask to elaborate on that.
So, I'm asking here.
I do not understand the point of it. So, could someone explain why Grimmer had to die, narratively?
I admit, I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, and I already failed to pick up on the subtleties of Urasawa's writing (and drawing!) in multiple instances and only understood it later thanks to other people's analysis. So this may be just another case of me missing something, but in that case I would really appreciate if someone could point it out for me.
Because I've been thinking about it, and I just don't see what could warrant specifically his death.
Because let's start from the opposite - what would change if he didn't die that could mess with the overall narrative?
One thing that I could see is the presence of Bonaparta and Wim at the final showdown - but that's a rather weak argument considering that Grimmer himself was the one who wanted them to just stay at the house, so that issue could probably be just avoided altogether.
Another one could be Grimmer himself getting involved in that showdown - but I don't think killing him wouldn't be an overkill (lol) for avoiding that. He could easily be distracted or incapacitated in some other way - hell, the possibility for it was right there, just make his injuries heavy enough for him being unable to get back on his feet right away, but light enough for Tenma to be able to patch him up quickly (at least for the time being, until there's an opportunity to do it properly) - I'm not sure if my impression was correct, but I thought that maybe Grimmer started talking instead of letting Tenma patch him up because he didn't want Tenma to spend a lot of time on that at such a crucial moment, so he kinda refused the help and let himself die. (Also seeing Roberto with a similarly-looking (at least from the outside) wound and Lunge saying "it could be lethal if not treated" sure added some insult to injury lol - though I have to admit I have no idea what difference could actually be there, and we didn't really get a lot of details about Grimmer's wounds anyway.)
And I guess there also was a need for some conclusion/resolution to the whole Steiner thing, but, again - did Grimmer really have to die for that?.. If it was to show how human he became in being able to risk his life and probably die for... uhhh..... what exactly at that moment? The sausage girl was already dead when Grimmer went berserk, and the only other thing we saw after that is some dude flying out of the window - so I'm not even sure if that was his attempt to protect the people in the basement - at that moment they probably weren't even really in danger... Anyway, uhh, let's say it was to risk his life for the sake of (protecting?) others generally then. But... did we really need another confirmation of his ability to do that, especially after everything Grimmer had been doing the whole time - basically devoting his whole life to exposing the Kinderheim stuff, and even doing stuff like framing himself for the sake of Jan Suk?.. And if that rampage was mainly meant to be just a "his own emotions came back" moment - again, why would he have to die afterwards?..
I don't know, man. Like I said - maybe I'm just missing or forgetting something, but in that case I would sure like to know about that. So if anyone could help me with that - I would really appreciate it.

lmao sometimes you get through a book and the only reason it wasn't a COMPLETE waste of time is because it did something Supremely Neat(tm) with structuring, so at least your writer!Brain gets to chew on that for a while

godddddd wasting time and energy on things that don't fucking matter has got to be THE worst feeling
#personal#i felt super embarrassed in my korean lesson today#because I didn't have a lot of time the last couple of weeks and I was trying to resolve the situation w the other tutor#when i should have just cut my losses and bailed#and look i know i'm learning there's literally no reason to be embarrassed etc but i am insane so that's not an option LOL#i should have somehow already known the contents of the lesson and therefore not needed the lesson hope this helps#but actually it was like i spent what little time i had preparing for the other lesson that was stupid and pointless rather than this one#and that just made me feel :( you know#in fairness to me my mental health was circling the drain literally until 2 days ago#so the last couple of days have just been like *sweeps up the carnage of various mental breakdowns and other insane behavior* LOL#but idk just generally feeling frustrated with myself even tho that's not super helpful#also frustrated that stupid bullshit has been taking up way too much of my time and energy lately#and it seems like the more i try to get the stupid bs out of the way the more it just dominates my life somehow#also super helpful that my brain's natural response to this state of being is 'well maybe you can't do anything right and should die :)'#like okay ty for your input LOL#despite how this sounds actually my korean lesson was REALLY good LOL#it was so good I just like got upset about wasting time on other bs you know??#anyway ty for coming to my nightly overshare i actually feel better now#love to shout into the void#exciting korean learning tag

#my dad messaged me today sayin’ he hopes to see me soon and it honestly ruined my day luke#like please leave me alone ://////#then some general normal Every Day BS happened at work and I just had to dip I almost walked off the job no word to my sups#Just makes me think of my mom which#i feel more justified after it I guess ‘cause she’s the one who allegedly approves the messages her husband sent me when we had our fight#tbh life is better w/o her messaging me daily like I spent basically all of 2023#wanting to cut her off and she gave me even the lightest reason to do it so i did and it’s been nice#the pointless guilt I felt for not wanting to see my family has turned into general resentment and annoyance#i don’t even miss her or him like I straight up just don’t want to see my blood relatives they’re not family to me they’re just people#i happen to share genes with like if you really wanted to build a relationship with the person#you forced into this stupid world then maybe you shouldn’t have been such insufferable assholes for the first 18 years#i spent most of my conversations with them over the phone last year basically just saying life sucks and that i want to kill myself#I need them to feel bad for conceiving me i need them to regret it#my cousin Aaron has the right idea tbh like last I heard he wasn’t talking to my uncle or anyone w/ blood relations really#following in his footsteps. I legit just got so full of rage and frustration when my dad messaged me it’s been like 3 weeks since we spoke#it was so obvious that I didn’t like my mom growing up everyone knew it and berated me for it like how am i supposed to accept that?#How am I supposed to take the hate and anger she exhibit and put out there in that unhappy home#and turn the hate and anger her and her family felt towards me for not loving her#and turn that into love? How am I supposed to turn unending anger and hatred and bitterness and just be like ‘yeah i love you’#I love my parents in the sense that I am familiar w/ them and they have had a constant presence in my life up this point and when I was like#8y/o I had some pretty good times w/ my dad that were DIRECTLY related to my mom being out of the house#my mom was just so abusive to that man for 20+ years#and he took the love I had for him and made me hate him by just shoving jesus down my throat#We used to have CONVERSATIONS he & I but then he got his head stuck so far up his ass that he couldn’t see#how he was just ruining everything. Me: Hey so this thing thats goin on?#him: haha yeah that thing thats been goin on!! You know what tho#[starts pitching JC to me again]#that was all I could get from him from 12-18/19#he killed whatever relationship we had together and now it’s a decade later and I have no interest in talking to him#I don’t care to try and rebuild. I don’t want to rebuild anything with him I don’t want him to want that either

i know it’s been weeks since I watched fury but genuinely what the fuck was up with fury. I’m still baffled by it.

it's weird how i've struggled to have any kind of spirituality (it doesn't click in my brain, there's the teeny bit of that Autism Asshole Logic that prevents it); but i AM superstitious. idk if they're the same or not
but sure as fuck, anytime oatmeal is for breakfast at work, a kid vomits. y'can't say that there hasn't been a blood bleach call in a while or you'll get several in a row. you can't comment on how we haven't had to clean a rug either

i know the star wars sequels aren't worth getting angry over but they really did just create half a dozen random new characters despite having nothing interesting or relevant for finn or poe to do
putting in a random link so hopefully this doesn't get recommended to people
