Gai has plummeted from the sky exactly twice in canon, one was his fall after releasing the 8th gate. A serene acceptance of his own end. And the second was off the Tobisachimaru, where Kakashi caught him and they fell hand in hand. Kakashis Story (the book) opens up to Gai I think at his most honest, he is childish and selfish and desperate. He threatens Lee into getting him on a flying boat for absolutely no reason, other than to feel the importance of being one of the first Shinobi to be on it. He is striving for a significance the universe stole from him by allowing him to leave past his prime, his moment with Madara where he was no longer human; but God. Kakashi has spent the entire novel not scrutinizing, but pitying Gai for a lack of understanding of what they have left. But Kakashi, who has lived in the past for nearly his whole life, is met with a woman who lives in that same war; who’s leaking grief out onto Kakashi the entire novel. In a moment of her exposition, her; the embodiment of past, weeping before Kakashi, Gai is falling off the boat. A descent into oblivion; an oblivion he wants but was denied. And Kakashi cannot care about the war or the woman or the past, all he does is jump after Gai. And hold his hand. It is by outside, coincidental forces (Sai, on a bird.) that either survive. Kakashi refused Gai to descend into oblivion alone.

This novel is also the first instance of Kakashi being relevant with both of his eyes. I like to think it’s them falling together that Gai really understands that this is the first time he’s looked into Kakashi’s eyes since adolescence.

Big fan of all the depictions of Mario that have him as a kindly uncle figure guy. Love that for him

even though this is vale’s last dance, i can’t help but wonder how casey would react if he knew dorna only called him “valentino rossi’s rival from 2006 to 2012”

it's so cuteeeeee (I mean not to him I'm sure), I was talking about this the other day how one of the key valentino rivalry dynamics is that he's kind of everyone's main rival but none of them are really his... and when casey talks about it, he's always careful to equivocate that valentino was ONE of his biggest rivals ONE of the top guys he was fighting just ONE fellow rider like everyone else - and obviously the other ones do matter to him too!! he was already fighting his fellow baby aliens and dovi way before they got to valentino, he already had his own dynamics with them and they were all already rivals... plus his last two years in motogp feature a version of valentino who is basically competitively irrelevant... but. but!! it still doesn't change anything! valentino will always be casey's main career rival, casey will always be One of valentino's rivals

dead giveaway that in his autobiography chapter for 2011, a season in which valentino just literally does not matter, casey spends so much time giving his in-depth assessment of valentino's career and soul - using jerez as his jumping off point to call valentino a talentless hack without respect or class or kindness in his heart... like by that point him and jorge do more or less get on, they're at the very least united in having been burnt by their respective valentino feuds and are motivated to keep things pretty chill that year. but casey's obviously no stranger to using a bit of spite and anger and RESENTMENT to fuel himself... valentino might be irrelevant, but the key aspect of that dynamic of those two years is that casey simply cannot leave well enough alone. there is no point at which he even HESITATES before plunging into another petty bickering match with a man who is spending much of his time languishing in pee eight. at the end of the day, whatever casey's rhetoric might be, of course valentino is the rival who matters the most to him!!! when they're actually fighting for a title and even when they're not. no matter that valentino isn't even the rival casey's technically fought the longest

so yeah. something dead frustrating about that I reckon. casey inevitably part of valentino's legacy. I mean, it's his fault for rocking up again first time since the pandemic for valentino's two part swansong. such a stifling legacy, right... casey in late 2021 is such a fun mix between showing how he's totally over it, making up with valentino, exchanging helmets, all the rest of it... and then a couple weeks later he makes sure to get in another jibe or three. maybe he saw the caption. this would be a kind of petty thing to get annoyed about but casey's a kind of petty guy, so I'm sure if he saw it he absolutely did

Just saw this comment on a story posted a month ago.

*cries in Eddie Munson Solo Series no one wanted to read, interact with or request for*

No shade to the person that commented this on their own fic if you recognize it. It's not their fault. I'm not mad at them. More crying in the tags.

For real though as someone who has watched both MP100 and Steven Universe I can tell you with relative certainty that the reason SU is so hated is because there were complex women in it. A lot of the guys (gn) that praise MP100 as SUCH a good show that shows the power of MERCY and UNDERSTANDING are literally the same people that shit on SU for being "too pussy to prosecute its villains properly" <- real words from a man I've spoken with about it 🙃

I like both shows and they're actually very similar, which is why it's hysterical to me when people try to rag on SU after having praised MP100 so ardently like,,,,if you're misogynistic just say that lmao

I asked my friend to guess the sexuality’s of Lotr/potc characters and the moment I showed them will they went “loser Bi” and I have never heard something so real in all my life

[crows-of-buckets]

Just had the mental image of Ena going "I have perfect control over my emotions, you can never tell what I'm thinking about" then immediately falling and busting his ass bc lucanis said hi to him. He's very subtle guys don't point out his blaringly obvious crush he'll get embarrassed

[noahtally-famous]

not me popping back on here with a post after months of semi-inactivity (uni is being a bitch) just to reiterate how much i love writing the pahkitew island cast.

aside from sammy and amy (obviously), literally everyone else can be shipped with one another and it'd make sense to some degree, like it takes skill to create a group of people so inherently shippable (platonically and/or romantically) and ofc the writers didn't know it they just shoved a bunch of random ppl together and dusted their hands off on it but fr tho 😭

(yeah im planning out my leonave 'stranger things inspired' au, and the gears are turning, and i forgot just how much i love writing for this dumbass group)

(i swear im working on the next chapter of a guide to surviving the apocalypse too)

alistair almost always has a spot in his party because he’s the other grey warden, but he’s also there to help with directions + interactions in case ariel fumbles/doesn’t know something (which is often). if not alistair then zevran or leliana who both seem worldly and experienced, even more than alistair at least 😭

I have connected two dots... yamato kaido and momo (and kinda shirahoshi with her top) have clouds above their shoulders... and luffy in gear fourth has them also.... I can see the signs

Guys. I just went to prom all by myself without a date (cuz nobody asked me) and friends (even tho I’ve been living here for 3 years). I was going to just mope and be sad, but I decided to just have an epic time and be really happy. I even went out on a limb and asked this dude to dance with me, and he was genuinely happy and ACTUALLY had rizz, and turned out to be an elite smash bros player who actually likes and plays kingdom hearts. WHAT!? WHO IS THIS MAN?

I SHOULD NOT HAVE LET HIM LEAAAVEEE

[quietwingsinthesky]

anyway episodes that sam's psychic powers should have come back during. imagine him arguing with this 'i'm a real psychic' guy and then yanking his gun out his hand with his own powers. fully on accident but it happens.

now see there's some drama for him and dean! that would work! sam tried to hide his hallucinations but couldnt. but theoretically he could hide this. and he should! because his brother literally just went and killed a woman for being a little too on the monster side for his liking. for being so evil that she couldn't possibly change. and so if sam's powers came back now? sam's powers? that he has because he has demon blood? he would be so fucking sick with stress trying to hide that from dean.

because. you know. if dean's already jumping for a reason to 'deal with' sam because he's hallucinating, a thing he can't even control. then what else is sam supposed to assume will happen once dean knows about this?

I could play one of the most beautiful well crafted video games on the planet and it will never be as appealing to me as one that kind of sucks shit but has soooo much potential

There's no guarantee that a best friend is truly going to be a best friend *forever* even if you have known each other for the majority of your lives and think you know each other inside out. Things change and not enough people understand that.
