#we. never. went. anywhere.

[kisstheashes]

the thing ab not experiencing things & not having experiences is that you don't even know what you've missed out on until someone says, completely aghast, like their entire worldview has shattered: "You've never done that?!?"

Like no. No I haven't. I also haven't had that food, that drink, and no I haven't had that other common experience either. No, I don't know what you're talking about, I don't have that cultural memory.

If there's something mildly exciting in the world, I've probably never experienced it.

Me making the sudden realization that the reason Alya told Nino she was Rena Rouge actually had nothing to do with her morals or relationship, but because Marinette needed a reason to take back the Fox Miraculous so that Hawkmoth could end up with all of them in the S4 finale:

[billpottsismygf]

God, what an interesting finale. I've loved this show so much and I wasn't sure how on earth they were going to end it in a satisfying way, especially after a run of episodes that were maybe not the best, but I think they stuck the landing. I love the meta approach with Guillermo struggling to come to terms with the documentary ending and all the tributes to previous episodes. I also love that I was right about the documentary getting addressed somewhat. With all their previous documentaries that never aired and the "I hope not" about it being on television, I wonder if the documentary will ever even come out.

I haven't looked at anyone else's reactions yet, but I'm guessing there will be people angry that we didn't get canon Nandermo and I can also imagine that the hokey little hypnotism married bit will rub some people the wrong way. However, that all worked pretty well for me. Personally, I felt that the romantic tension of Nandermo fizzled out a couple of seasons ago and they would have had to dedicate a lot more time to building that back up this season for a kiss or anything to feel justified. My heart was absolutely beating a mile a minute during that goodbye scene, though. Still, I was ready to accept that pretty tragic ending of Guillermo walking out, never to return, since the notion of these two as star-crossed is achingly romantic in itself. The reveal that that was a fakeout was absolutely huge emotional whiplash, but it is probably a nicer ending for the two of them to continue being friends.

And they really will be friends. Although I adored Guillermo calling Nandor 'Master' again and his line that 'you'll always be Master to me', I think the point of the fakeout is that their relationship really has changed. Nandor is letting him share his coffin; they're sitting as equals and diving into an elaborate lair that Nandor built by himself, without expecting Guillermo to do all the work. At this point, while I still ship them romantically to some extent (and the show absolutely leaves you to imagine that that could develop at some point), I truly only care at this point that they care about each other and spend time together, and that's where we leave them. They're going to keep getting up to shenanigans as they fight crime or whatever, and they're going to do it together.

bangtan literally everyday of chapter 2: don’t forget about bts please

armys literally everyday of chapter 2: i saw seven rocks together at the park today and i cried

[aurosoul]

turned 30 yesterday and thought about how incredible it is to be publicly trans in a very prominent tech field, and how amazing the outpouring of support has been. feeling good about life and happy to still be here :)

while i think we all knew that this day was coming, i still chose, for seven years, not to give up hope. i put my faith in mappa and the yuri on ice team and while i'm not surprised by the cancellation, i'm still so dissapointed.

listen, i understand. there were a lot of factors that made production and release hard. it wasn't meant to be. i get it. but it still hurts. i still think we deserved clearer communication on this.

yuri on ice was a major part of my life for so long. that show opened my eyes to healthy queer relationships and made me realize that i was queer myself. watching the episodes as they came out and debriefing them with my friends was the highlight of my week. i have consumed fanworks from incredibly, astoundingly talented artists. i have created fanworks. i have talked to and connected with so many amazing people, all because of this show.

yuri on ice got me through the darkest points of my life. when shit hit the fan, i'd curl up in bed, wrapped in my blanket from hot topic, and loop the soundtrack to ground myself. yuri on ice has been there for every major turning point in my life, and comforted me through it.

although more recently i haven't been as involved in the fandom, it's still so, so dear to me. i'm sitting here, writing this, surrounded by yoi merch i've collected over the years. keychains, plushues, stickers. i'm blowing my nose with tissues from my makkachin tissue holder.

...it's just so surreal that the movie has finally been put to rest. but i'm happy to have known and loved this fandom, and i will carry these memories with me, always.

anyone else hate long distance relationships and lack of consistent feelings on their part

[kacievvbbbb]

ive never read nor watched jjk (tho i agree 100% on mha), based solely on the angry rants from my obsessed partner, i think youre probably 100% right

oh Thank you anon! I mean it feels wrong to recommend it because of how frustrating the lack of plot line continuations can get but I definitely still this it's a good and enjoyable story and it's worth a try, if you're up for it!

With MHA I have never actually felt like a timeskip would benefit a story more. Like maybe this is just me but I really feel like they should have been in their third year when the final war went down. It would just make more narrative sense in my opinion why the grown superheroes were so okay with letting these first years lead the charge (yes I know obviously that story wise they were always going to have to be the ones and yes it was a dire situation but still. it makes sense why they would have no choice but to let midoriya fighting but everyone else? with previously established feelings on this? just feels weird) also like it was too late to introduce any second years or other third years and so that just makes it even weirder why they arent fighting. I dont know just having them be third years would have made more sense to me but maybe that's just me.

it's so hard to believe there are people who have been to other countries than the one they were born in. that seems so impossible. it even kinda seems impossible to go to another state. what do you mean you just took a quick vacation to scotland. what are you saying to me. that's crazy.

[one-with-the-tree]

Everybody say "thank you Balto sequels" for them not enforcing a poorly written (hetero) romance for either Aleu or Kodi.

(Looking at Irida and Emmet meeting post) "Heheh, you guys just got a new sibling but you dont know it yet. You are gonna have such childish arguments before getting along. This please me. I like this."

Before getting along and after it, too. Siblings will be siblings. That means sometimes being their pillar of support, sometimes threatening something weirdly specific and shenanigans

dani spoke quickly, just trying to assure her dad over the phone that she'd gotten out of the concert safely. it was easier to do in her native tongue and the conversation was meant to be fast. she hadn't heard her friend come back from the bathroom until he was standing directly in front of the phone booth. from the look on his face he'd heard every word, but didn't understand a bit. with some people at school, she might just be able to play dumb, claim it was german or polish or dutch and hope they wouldn't know the difference. not eddie though, he was too smart. she finished her call with a "i have got to go dad, see you tomorrow morning" before she hung up. her english was perfect, but there was still no chance of her friend believing that was what she'd been speaking a minute ago.

a choice about what to do had to be made, and dani went with the easiest option, pretend nothing was out of the ordinary and hope eddie ignored it or brought up what he thought himself so she knew what he thought before she told him some fragment of the truth. "i'm ready to go when you are. we should probably head out before the parking lot gets too crowded and we can't get out." she wanted to tell him the truth, it just wasn't something easy to explain and trying sure was a big risk. she never wanted to put him in danger. she started to weave her way through the crowd towards the doors.
