#why is everyone shirtless in this scene tho

When I watched The Batman, I watched it with my parents and I was like. "very good movie, I like how it wasnt sexy" and they were like "wtf do you mean, they were literally iin like... a sex club. Batman was shirtless. They smooched" but I stand by what I said. It wasnt sexy. I did forgor that Patinson was shirtless for a scene but the club was suitably uncomfortable in its portrayal. Selina didnt pose and lavish in attention, it was clearly a performance and one that she didnt enjoy. Very not sexy. andthe shirtlesss detective boy was like a wet cat. He wasnt posing or flexing, he could have ahad a shirt on and the scene would not have been markedly different for me. It reminded me of the guy in Elementary who did math shirtless because it let him feel the numbers and helped him do math good. Honestly shirts suck and being shirtless is comfy, its not neccesaroly sexy. The smooch I didnt like tho, thats true. it felt forced. Like clearly smthn that was just in there bc as a movie made in 2024 there must be smooches, even if there wasnt chemistry or any sort of relationship building. Like... I liked their vibe as a team and I could see how the partnership might evolve, but they were not romantic or even sexual in any way and the smooch was bad. I havent looked up any reviews to see if other ppl think this way but I dont want to do real work and I like ur blog so I thought I'd share my thoughts

Agreed that the lack of sexualization for both parties brings a refreshing change! Bruce and Selina, characters sexualized in very specific, but fateful ways, are portrayed almost perfectly in the Batman. They’re not Being, they’re Performing.

However, I can understand why your parents mean as well! Romance and sexuality, I feel, are such diverse and fluctuating mediums that can be interpreted a hundred different ways, and mean even more.

For you and I, — nudity isn’t sexual specific. But hey — maybe someone else thinks differently, so the opinion of the shirtless scene being sexy isn’t wrong — at least not totally. I find it sexy because I find Bruce hot. But it’ll be different for everyone

Episode 7 predictions since it’s 2024

1. N and Uzi kiss scene

This one’s pretty simple, I really want to see them kiss, you want to see them kiss, everyone wants to see them kiss

2. Nori and Yeva flashback scene

I really do think that teaser that Glitch posted is a flashback with Nori and Yeva trying to find the cure too, it would make sense for them too especially with their connection to the Absolute Solver and the camp

The theories are nice but I don’t think that Nori and Yeva would just show up out of the blue randomly especially when they’re supposed to be dead, it made sort of sense with Doll but doesn’t make sense with those two cause why the hell did it take that long to come back, just seems like a flashback to me, also this would be good for some content on what not only were they like but also hopefully mention of Khan and Uzi from Nori’s mouth cause we still have no idea if Nori is even a good guy

3. Separation

It seems like from the trailer that N, Uzi and Tessa are going to be seperated. This would be good for some good sweet character development and how they handle things alone, Tessa might be looking at the dorms? Lockers? Idk what they are but of the patients especially Nori’s and hers might have something deeply puzzling Tessa because she full on slammed the door lol

4. Nuzi confession scene

Should’ve probably put this in first but I’m HOPING that N and Uzi confess their feelings, especially with the fact that they might die I’d be happy if they at least confessed before Episode 8 (the last episode) so we can see them being happy with each other before the angst

5. N shirtless

6. More Tessa scenes

I know girlie is really suspicious at the moment and I absolutely despise her for the whole kill Uzi thing but I actually really like Tessa she’s so quirky and so unaware of things it’s kinda funny

I love you Australian woman I still hate you for the kill Uzi thing tho

7. Fluff moments

As you know I hate angst, it makes me sad ☹️

8. Merch

I hope there’s more merch of characters that never got the chance to have some merch, as much as I love the N and Uzi merch there is not a lot of merch with the other characters like J, Tessa, Cyn, etc

Even V, I don’t want her to be in the episode but I think that she’s gotten at least 5 pieces of merch? Can’t really tell but I hope that J fans do get that plushie

I hope they make more keychains and stickers too, posters would be nice as well or even mats. Just some new pieces of merch instead of plushies, pins and Animatez (as much as I love them, I do hope that’s not all of it)

9. The absolute solver fucks off

I hate the absolute solver my girl could die because of it grrrraahhhhhh 😡🤬

Okay so I watched these two One Piece movies over the past couple of nights and the different experiences that I have gone through with both of these movies... First of all... I had A LOT of fun watching both of them (tbh more fun than when I watched the One Piece: Red) and I want to watch it again just from recalling it. I won't go super in depth, this is just me going on a tangent about em.

One Piece Gold (left) was a lot of fun, I loved the premise where they entered this huge ass island/boat city of gold filled with entertainment and casinos (I'm like "ohhh they're on the strip! LOL). I liked the build up of the plot and backstory of the villain. Tbh I think this movie did a way better job at building up the villain in comparison to One Piece Red where it just... IMMEDIATELY went into action??? I enjoy being able to immerse myself in the specific plot and feel of a movie, and so I think this movie did better in that aspect. ALSO, THERE WERE SO MANY OUTFIT CHANGES IN THIS MOVIE!!! It's so cute that for a number of them, they're all matching??? Also... um... Zoro in the beginning of the movie where he just had the baseball cap and he's shirtless... uhhhhh he looked so good wtf... wished they had him in that for longer LOL I also thought Luffy looked SO CUTE in the all white outfit with the orange shades and cowboy hat. Really enjoyed the Sabo appearance in this, tho wished I saw him crush a guy's head!! LOOOL Anyway, really liked this movie.

One Piece movie 6: Baron Omatsuri and the Secret Island is what I watched last night after holding it off since FOREVER AND TBH I DON'T THINK I'LL LIKE A ONE PIECE MOVIE MORE THAN THIS ONE LOOOL. So the main reason why I wanted to watch this movie was primarily because of the ART STYLE. I LOVE HOW CUTE AND EXAGGERATED IT IS. The flat colors, lanky limbs, thin lines, angles, and expressiveness UGH EVERYTHING. I kept wondering why it felt so familiar and it's because the director of this movie is Mamoru Hosoda! And he directed movies like Mirai (my Goro projection movie), Summer Wars, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, Wolf Children (I watched this movie when I was in a 3 hour life drawing class and was bawling), etc. ANYWAY-- his influence was STRONG in this movie because the thing I like about his style is the human INTERACTIONS he has between the characters and showing the closeness, with their touches, or expression, and even utilizing the awkward silences in the conversations. It was SO nice seeing the Straw Hats interact in this kind of way and I am just IN LOVE WITH HOW LUFFY LOOKED IN THIS MOVIE HE WAS SO CUTE I LOVE HIM!!! I also love how when Nami wanted Luffy's attention, she would just GRAB HIS FACE. So anyway, as I was looking more into who was involved in this movie, I saw that Masahiro Ito did the screenplay. I had to do a double take on that name. BITCH. OF COURSE HIS NAME WAS FAMILIAR BECAUSE THAT MAN IS THE ART DIRECTOR FOR TEAM SILENT? MR PYRAMID HEAD CREATOR MAN HIMSELF. WHAT IS HE DOING WRITING THE SCREENPLAY FOR THIS ONE PIECE MOVIE. The whole time I'm just thinking "Oh my god. This movie is going to get REALLY weird." And my god... for One Piece/shounen standards... yeah. There are scenes where I had to turn around to Hun while I was watching and go "... You seeing this." LOL LIKE... I KNOW THIS MOVIE WILL NOT BE EVERYONE'S CUP OF TEA BUT I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT??? It was like watching the weirdest collab One Piece fanfiction come to life. I just really appreciate the direction and vibe this movie had and seeing One Piece in this kind of style. Honestly would love if other anime directors wanted to take their own spin of One Piece and just make a movie. Yah well that's my tangent, I love One Piece LOL

The Eighth Sense Thoughts

okay so when i watch dramas i always write notes about how i felt after watching an episode, just to like look back on but like they’re actually funny so i wanted to post some on here to share.

since the eighth sense just ended, here are my thoughts while watching the eighth sense. it’s kind of random but if you’ve seen it it’ll probably make sense. don’t take this seriously bc i just word vomit on all of these lmao and the dashes in between indicate a new episode.

                    ---------oh also HELLA SPOILERS AHEAD----------

blueming vibes idk it's university set - bro she built differenttt. the vibes are so different compared to other korean bl's. it's kind of like itsay a bit? but like with better characters and a better story so far. i like jihyun too, his friend tho is so annoying like always bugging him about going out and joining the surf club, like bro he's a country boy in a new city and school, he wants to try new things stfu (it's also an excuse to see the cute guy he met but shhh) - tell me how jaewon's ex has the audacity to be annoyed at jihyun. she's just mad bc jaewon is giving him so much attention and hanging out with him and being close to him, girl did you expect jaewon too come crawling back to you even tho you're the reason why you guys broke up? he was in the military so he definitely didn't do anything to and everyone's saying that she cheated on him so who you think we gon believe? you fucked up ur relationship yourself and you're salty that he don't want you anymore. you're mad that he's content and doesn't think about you anymore, that he found someone else to take care of and be around. stay mad roach lmao - i love this so far omggg. jihyun keeps reminding me of cha junho btw. but like jihyun and jaewon like each other so muchhhh. like it's so natural, the way they constantly find each other and just abruptly hang out. they LITCHRALLY went on a date to the han river. tell me that wasn't a date. and i am living for jaewon's attitude towards his ex. he really couldn't give any less of a fuck about her and she over here embarrassing herself. she acts like she don't care but then she'll squeal to her friends that he went surfing bc of her and asked to partner with her for an assignment, delusional ass bitch lmao. she gets so pissed whenever jaewon is with jihyun, it's funny watching her be jealous. you wish that was you huh? and like jaewon and jihyun are just going with the flow with each other. the touches, the gentle hang holding, asking about dating, how jihyun always makes jaewon smile just by existing. AND THEY ALMOST KISSED AGAIN, THEY LEANED IN UNTIL JIHYUN'S STUPID ASS FRIEND HAD TO BE NOSY. GET LOST BRO. oh and i love jihyun's boss, she cares about him a lot and defended him when jaewon's ex was bullying him. also that girl that seemed to like jihyun is actually one of the girliesss, she just wanted to be friends. but girl you really made it seem like you liked him. i guarantee she did like him but then realized he was uncomfortable but she still wanted to be close so she said she just wanted to be friends. but i am living for this series it's so fucking good, i love the vibes. it does annoy me how much they eat and drink tho like god damn is that all they fucking do? wanna go drink? wanna go get lunch? we should have a meal sometime! i get that 's like the social life of korean university students but jesus christ good thing i ain't studying abroad anymore, i dont think i could survive this shit - BRO THEY'RE SO IN LOVE I'M SCREAMING. god they like each other so much. they are the only ones who fully understand each other. and that kiss scene in the water that started out as teasing but ended with them fully kissing bitchhhh. the tension is real out here. and like then after they were LITCHRALLY cuddling on the beach,, SHIRTLESS bein all cute n shit. like under the covers just messing with each other, biting each other, poking their faces and just enjoying each others company. i am living. but then wtf was that ending. jihyun drowned? but jaewon got him out but it ends with jaewon sitting on the beach alone. idk maybe it was a nightmare or something bc it was after the cuddling scene so they probably fell asleep and jaewon had that dream. either way i need them being sickeningly sweet in front of jaewon's ex, like holding hands, hugging or even kissing JUST SOMETHING. I NEED THIS BITCH TO KNOW HER PLACE, SHE AIN'T JAEWON'S GF ANYMORE SIT DOWN, JAEWON DON'T NEED YOU NO MORE. - JIHYUN'S FINE DON'T WORRY OMG. JAEWON PUNCHED HIS FRIEND WHO MOCKED JIHYUN'S ACCIDENT THO AND ALMOST GOT SUSPENDED BUT JIHYUN SAVED HIS ASS. THAT ROACH IS STILL ACTING LIKE JAEWON LIKES HER AGAIN AND THAT THEY'RE TOGETHER WHICH WE ALL KNOW IS A FUCKING LIE. BUT JAEWON IS ALSO AVOIDING THE SHIT OUT OF JIHYUN AND LITERALLY ASKED HIM TO FORGET ALL ABOUT THEIR TRIP, WHAT THEY SAID WHAT THEY DID, THE FEELINGS AND EMOTIONS THEY HAD, FORGET IT ALL! I KNOW DAMN WELL JAEWON STILL HAS FEELINGS FOR HIM AND SO DOES JIHYUN, BUT JAEWON'S TRAUMA IS MAKING HIM STEP AWAY BC HE DOESN'T WANT THE SAME THING THAT HAPPENED TO HIS BROTHER TO HAPPEN TO JIHYUN. HE THINKS HE'LL HURT JIHYUN SOMEHOW - IT GOT A GOOD ENDING THANK GOD I REALLY THOUGHT THEY WERE GASLIGHTING US IN THE LAST EPISODE BC THEY WERE GETTING ALONG AND BEING SO CUTE, JAEWON SAYING CLEARLY THAT THEY WERE DATING, EVERYTHING JUST CAME TOGETHER PERFECTLY AT THE END I REALLY WAS EXPECTING ONE OF THEM TO DIE OR SOMETHING. them kissing scenes thooooo. and joonpyo and yoonwon got together. but fr like jihyun sent jaewon that conan gray song and that's all it took for him to finally realize he needed to be with jihyun and that man came runnin. but he's such a cute boyfriend, we stan. and even until the very end his annoying ex was trying to get with him, literally like kissing him in front of jihyun and everything. jaewon said no no i don't play that hetero shit no more. SHE HAD THE NERVE TO TRY TO LIE TO HIM ABOUT CHEATING ON HIM UNTIL HE TOLD HER HE LITERALLY SAW HER GO INTO A MOTEL WITH A GUY AND GO ON A BREAKFAST DATE THE NEXT MORNING. SHE REALLY TRIED IT HUH. jaewon caught ur slimy ass and he was so nice about it too, jaewon is better than me cause i woulda laughed in her face if she pulled that shit. but he said it was okay, that he understood and was sorry. I'M SORRY BUT WHAT IS THERE TO UNDERSTAND OR BE SORRY ABOUT??!?! SHE CHEATED ON YOU WHILE YOU WERE IN THE ARMY, SOMETHING THAT YOU HAVE TO DO. SHE KEPT SAYING I WAS LONELY I WAS LONELY, WELL GET SOME FRIENDS, GET A PET GET A DAMN HOBBY. THIS IS NOT HOW YOU TREAT YOUR BOYFRIEND WHO IS SACRIFCING HIS LIFE RN WHILE YOU OUT HERE SNOGGING OTHER MEN. YEAH I SAID SNOGGING. S N O G G I N G. IF YOU REALLY LOVED HIM YOU WOULD HAVE WAITED, NO QUESTIONS ASKED. I WOULD HAVE WAITED. YOU REALLY THAT THIRSTY YOU CAN'T WAIT FOR HIM?? LIKE YOUR LOSS THEN ROACH, YOU LOST YOURSELF A FINE ASS MAN. anyways yes jihyun and jaewon are so fucking cute i love them to pieces, jaewon is perfect boyfriend material. the cuddling, clinging, hand holding, shoulder resting, all of the above. yes. and the ending seemed like they were gonna go to the beach again but it felt like the beginning of a new chapter for them. like they are setting it up for a sequel. it really seem like we might get a sequel for this, PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD GIVE ME A SEQUEL

Rating: 10/10

I realized that all times PuenTalay woke up after getting drunk together they were without shirts. Idk what i think about this detail but keep going boys 😂 Also what do you think about adding the time when Talay woke up at Pakorn's apartment to your 'deranged Talay list'? He was doing really normal activities, including: walk around the room and touch everything without permission; take his homie's underwear and look at it very closely (why even would you do thaaaaat); pull Puen's cheeks even tho he refused to touch them when Puen asked him to do it like one minute ago because of a stupid little argument; go to Tun's bed in his street clothes and asking Puen philosophical questions. What a moment lmao

ANON I NEED YOU TO KNOW THAT I’VE BEEN SCREAMING AND LAUGHING ABOUT THIS SINCE THE DAY YOU FIRST SENT ME THE MESSAGE BECAUSE YOU ARE SO RIGHT THERE WAS SO MUCH INSANE BEHAVIOUR AFTER INSANE BEHAVIOUR COMING FROM TALAY IN THAT SCENE

sometimes you don’t realize just how utterly deranged a vice versa scene is until you see it written down and then you can’t help but wonder what was everyone on in that writers room when they came up with it. like, i will let talay poking around tun’s apartment slide because ngl, if i woke up in a room with a full ass aquarium as a ceiling i’d be a little curious about it too, but mr. ‘i don’t like pink’ really found THE ONLY PINK ITEM IN THE ENTIRE ROOM and upon realizing it was UNDERWEAR he just

HE COULDN’T EVEN HAVE KNOWN IF IT WAS CLEAN OR NOT BUT THE ABSOLUTE MAD MAN DECIDED TO PICK IT UP ANYWAY LIKE IT WAS THE MOST NORMAL THING. suddenly very sad that puen managed to snatch them back so quickly because i really would have liked to know WHAT EXACTLY WAS TALAY EVEN PLANNING TO DO WITH IT. and then you have the pulling cheeks fight, which is already insane in and of itself, but if that wasn’t enough, as soon as they’re done with it, puen tells talay to go to sleep and talay is just like ‘okay :D’ and happily gets under the covers WHEN JUST FIVE MINUTES AGO HE FREAKED OUT BECAUSE HE WOKE UP IN BED WITH PUEN (and yeah, okay, technically puen was on top of him, but it’s still SO FUNNY that talay went from pushing puen off the bed to ‘sleeping in the same bed with the homie is completely fine!!!’ MY BOY PLEASE JUST PICK ONE REACTION TO HAVE YOU’RE GIVING US WHIPLASH)

also shout out to puen for being a bro and taking his shirt off every time he has to get talay’s drunk ass home. he said ‘in this house we don’t let friends being shirtless alone <3’ featuring ‘but what if the homie gets cold? oh i know!!!! /I/ will be his blanket!!!!!’

WHAT A MOMENT INDEED  

[johnmalevolent]

heyyyyy, gintama for the fandom asks?

iris did you know that i love you

The first character I first fell in love with: Gintoki. i've loved him even before i watched gintama (that blorbo in law situation) it was of course partly sharing a friend's enthusiasm but also his design. now that i know his whole character it just makes me fall even more... and these are why:

his dead fish eye. his lack of energy. his sweet tooth. the one arm sticking out of his yukata bcs he thinks it's cool (he insists its just so he could grab his wooden sword faster). the way he rarely refuses to help people even if he acts annoyed about it.

he's kind of like reigen in many ways (28 year old freelancer - albeit questionable job - and bad older brother figures for some middle schoolers)

he's a gag character but sometimes he also acts as a straight man. i think he believes himself to be the sanest person when compared to his childhood friends (which. honestly doesn't say much). also im weak for characters voiced by mr Sugita

oh yeah have i mentioned his design. of course his main outfit is really cool but i love the ones we sometimes see him in. like his winter clothes, the ryokan uniform, shiroyasha, white blood king, that one time he switched job to a truck driver, his host suit, enmi... so many. he also crossdressed several times and slayed the look. despite wanting to have him in my bed someday im actually not that crazy over shirtless gintoki (except for his pink strawberry boxer shorts). the rule is the more layers of fabric he puts on, the more in love i am

and of course his *checks notes* wonderful personality

The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: tbh Takasugi.. he's Gintoki's childhood friend but after what happened 10 years ago their relationship seems mostly hateful on the outside, but they actually treasure the other very much as a friend. when he first appeared he was introduced as an antagonist, probably the main one for the whole series, and it was kinda meh because at that point i was watching gintama for the comedy. but after watching the flashback of their time together it hurts just thinking about them. I've rewatched this one scene of them from the Gintama final movie and i cried every single time. if you're okay w major spoilers the clip should be in my "#jiwa perak" tag under a read more

The character everyone else loves that I don’t: see this is hard cos im not really deep in the fandom buuuut if i have to choose its shinpachi... its not that i dont like him, I just care for him the least...... he's good when paired with other characters (with gintoki & kagura or with his sister) but when he's by himself he's not that interesting. and i get it he's supposed to not be interesting. it's a whole joke that shinpachi is the most boring character. idk sorry shinpachi i hope they give you some new trait in the ginpachi spin-off

The character I love that everyone else hates: sorry idk who is the hated character in the fandom 😭

The character I used to love but don’t any longer: Kintoki, maybe? he was a robot created per Shinpachi & Kagura's request because their current boss (Gintoki), who was nowhere to be found (probably drinking), is very irresponsible. so Kintoki is the polar opposite of Gintoki, created to be perfect in the ways gintoki couldn't. i used to really love him because of his charisma (took a bunch of screenshots & collected fanart of him) but after his arc ended i kinda forgot about him lmao. im chill about him now

The character I would totally smooch: gintoki. in case that wasn't clear

The character I’d want to be like: i want that katsura non-binary look and then my life would be complete. i dont want his brain tho

The character I’d slap: sakamoto. i love him but he's so annoying <3 i wld kill him irl

A pairing that I love: hijikata/gintoki!! i think they have a nice dynamic. unlike gintoki, hijikata is a very strict person. everytime they meet they always fight, but they understand each other and do well when fighting together. both of them insists they're not friends but when gintoki left town hijikata said "I'm gonna look for him." how do you expect me to not go insane.

ginsachi is also up there, and tbh if gintoki said he'd marry me after our first meeting I'd react like sacchan did. sacchan is a creep but i support girls wrong etc. it's a shame they dont really have many episodes together after that except when it's another harem episode :/

A pairing that I despise: GINTOKI/KYUUBEI. im glad there isnt actually many fancontent of them but my god do i despise it. i hate that kyuubei has sooo much potential as a non-binary character but became a part of gintoki's harem. like. i cannot see in kyuubei the same character that appeared in their debut arc. i know them starting to embrace their feminine side is an important trait but at this point it feels like they're turned into a girl just because. i know it sounds like im just talking about kyuubei im just really pissed lmao. it also doesnt make any sense to me how they would even have feelings for gintoki :(

[castlebyersafterdark]

ive been rewatching lotr (i dont know, your renn faire fic got me in the mood for fantasy nerdery lol) and i remembered how i was about... 12 when the last film came out? and i definitely was ogling frodo when he had that shirtless scene when he was tied up lmaoooo

everyone was after aragorn but i was too young for such ruggedness haha. i realised also that finn reminds me so much of frodo in that film? the pale/dark colouring and the intense eyes. maybe everything truly does lead back to those formative childhood crushes!

but yeah these teens who are like 16 17 and still say theyre minors and so dont want to see byler sex... what is that about lmao i was 12 and was eager for the smallest bit of chest and nipple! by the time i was 17 gossip girl had been on the air with people having sex left right and centre it was normal to see even if not to do. watching sex on screen is usually exciting and fun. its one of life's pleasures lol why are these people denying themselves pleasure let alone denying the characters this coming of age journey??

Cosigned right there with you!!!

And we love those formative on screen crushes (I was a basic Aragorn boy tho, what can I say haha. I've always loved a messy disaster of a man.)

[madraleen]

Attack on Titan - Season 4 A rewatch commentary (because of course I have more things to say) Full manga spoilers (including the ending)

-i love aot, i'm tearing up :') top-notch story, top-notch animation throughout.

-aot only benefits from rewatches. they only add to the greatness

-you know. pre-time skip!eren would never in a million years have responded to falco by asking if the candidate that he doesn't want to see become a warrior is a girl. his mind just wasn't working that way- romantically. another clue that now romance is part of his life (or unrequited love. or whatever he has going on with mikasa, idk)

-aot has SUCH good music

-"declaration of war" is SO. GOOD.

-L I S T E N tho, when warhammer titan asks for eren's last words and he says "now, mikasa"... TECHNICALLY this applies to what his actual last words could have been had he spoken them.

-i wonder. if eren knows the future, is there any point when he's genuinely afraid for his life? isn't it a given that he'll live to do the rumbling? his surprised reactions when attacked must be just that, the instinctual reaction of surprise and the fear of pain, right? not fear for his life. i'd say, and that's totally a theory, that in marley he is actually worried, because he's only just starting to go on the offensive. but he makes it out, gets even more jaded and settled in his plan, and by the time pieck threatens him at gunpoint, he's seasoned enough to know she won't kill him. and then gabi does -technically- kill him, which he didn't foresee at all.

-the nerve of using galliard as a nutcracker, i'll never get over that

-yuki kaji is so good. i'm never gonna stop singing his praises.

-but why did shirtless wonder escape from prison shirtless? aesthetics aside

-little-shit-eren is lying to armin and mikasa through his teeth i cannot.

-eren's eyes in close-up look disdainful and pained at the same time, respect to the animators.

-the EMA restaurant scene always hurts me so much. so much. it legit makes me look forward to the ending for its (soft and low-key) resolution.

-i mean, eren's not lying to gabi, he actually thinks he can save falco by luring out pieck and co. avoiding an altercation would mean no scream, which would mean safe falco and a successfully incomplete rumbling, which would also mean a safe falco.

-i've been thinking, eren didn't expect marley to attack so soon. it wasn't part of the plan. so what was the plan? eren's plan for paradis didn't involve violence. shiganshina was evacuated, and arguably no one within the other walls would have to die - arguably they would have been held back by the yeagerists, had they not had to rush to shiganshina to fight. eren's going along with the wine plan was a safe option, because zeke was never supposed to scream in the first place; there weren't supposed to be titans and marleyans to fight, just a passage to shiganshina on the appointed time. no one on paradis was supposed to get hurt, or if they had to, the casualties were supposed to be minimal. this chaos and disaster was never the plan. "sit tight, shut up and wait until the gang stops me," basically.

-the satisfaction i get every time, when yelena tells titan eren to come out and not fight and he ignores her. so much satisfaction.

-i love how everyone in the main cast has so distinctive personalities. they’re not archetypes, they’re just distinctive people

-the last-ish shot of eren screaming in the op with his hair getting loose still lives rent-free in my head. it's so raw.

-i just find it interesting how eren is struggling so much (reiner is straddling him at the moment), and he still gasps and tells zeke to wait when he's about to scream, he still protects his people (or tries to). he's not unfeeling or indifferent, nor careless.

-("brothers" ep) i'm like "it's okay, you know what happens, you've watched it happen, aot can't hurt you anymore,” but this.fucking.hurts! i suffer!

-HOW DID I JUST NOTICE THAT EREN SEES MIKASA AND ARMIN FROM SCHOOL CASTES IN THE PATHS

-ah yes, grisha hugging the zeke-shaped air with the accuracy of... something. you get the point.

-the most unrealistic thing about aot is mikasa's scarf making it in one piece and seemingly unscathed until her old age.

-interesting how falco stabs himself with a nail to turn into a titan. he doesn't have the experience nor the unrelenting tenacity nor the wrath of the others to just chomp on his hand

-the "his and hers" ep hurts. a lot. (i don't even care what 4x28 is actually called, it's such a his-an'-hers ep)

-cool cool cool, baby eren woke up crying from his dream as he saw older eren being killed by mikasa in his founder form. nice. cool. this is fine. this is. great. sure.

-i really like the aot cast, man. everyone is so well-crafted, there's no weak character in this damn story.

-eren the paths!calls spammer

-on a side note, i don’t understand how some still believe that eren didn’t accomplish anything and that it was all meaningless. he accomplished all of his goals. he wiped out the titans, stopped the titan cycle, ensured long lives for (most of) his friends and peace for paradis for about a century at least, and he got to experience what he considered freedom. mission accomplished.

[sidewalk-cracks]

Yup, there are some flashbacks, that's why I said "little to no flashbacks". What I mainly meant by that was that fmab doesn't flashback to a scene from an earlier episode six times every episode when something important is talked about (like naruto or mha). I appreciate it bc it feels like the show gives the audience more credit in believing we can remember and follow what's happening without needing constant flashbacks to help us.

I'm not finished with fmab– I'm in the 40s currently– but every time I've seen ed shirtless so far, there's been no chiseled six pack? You look at pictures of like. natsu dragneel from fairy tail (or literally any main guy character from ft) and then compare to ed, and there's a huge difference

ed's garish red coat may not be fashionable, but it is practical. It's a coat. Having an extra layer of clothing will always be helpful. What I meant by saying they all dress practically is, look at pictures of Ajeel (not to be mistaken for Gajeel) from fairy tail. Or erza's heaven's wheel armor. Impractical. All the vital areas of your body are exposed. All your organs are unprotected. Then compare to Ed, or almost anyone else who fights in fmab, and wow! Fully clothed! One more thing protecting your insides!

Yup, winry wears a miniskirt, and that's fine, what I meant is like. I.e. when she's wearing the miniskirt there's never any upskirt shots. She never falls or lands with her butt on a male characters face. No one ever comments about her panties. There's no needless fanservice or sexual dithering that makes the audience uncomfortable

I guess the first episode could be considered filler? It's the first episode tho so I always kinda exclude those, bc it's the first episode, you're trying to set up and establish everything about your story, cut em some slack and whatnot. Plus, it introduces a lot of vital plot things- Kimblee, and (SPOILERS) Isaac, I think his name was?, hinting about the military's corruption and the country-wide transmutation circle. Not really what typically happens in a filler, which is unrelated shenanigans, but it is a pretty subjective topic.

Just wanted to explain some so maybe what I'm trying to say makes a little more sense lol. Everyone interprets things differently, so what I'm trying to convey might get lost in translation

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood breaks so many shounen stereotypes and I'm shook tbh. There're little to no flashbacks. There's no filler episodes. Almost none of the female characters are sexualized. All of the main characters, male and female, dress practically. The male mc doesn't have a six-pack. There isn't a beach/pool episode. The mc, Ed, breaks an entire plethora of mc-specific tropes all on his own. The relationship with the most primary focus isn't romantic, but familial. And there's probably a bunch more I haven't recognized yet.

well it took a few days longer than intended, but as promised, Hot Karkat Summer is upon us. @callmearcturus please accept this humble offering, and thank you as usual for the inspiration. in the words of one Dave Strider, “ Paramilitary Wet Dream Chic never went out of style, apparently.”

[tinted-skies]

the dreamies as your valentine

Your first valentine's day as a couple.

Mark `~ He was really busy and couldn't take you out. You had assured him it wasn't a big deal, but to him it was. It frustrated him how he never had a break, especially on the day he was meant to spend with you. Once you heard the sad tone on his voice through the phone, you decided to go to the studio and surprise him with lunch.

When you inevitably had to leave, he gave you the warmest hug and thanked you for making his day.

Renjun `~ He knows you love him, and you know he loves you... there's no need to make a fuss about it. At least that's what he told you. But deep down, you both knew he had a soft spot for this day, using it as an excuse to go out and spend the whole day with you.

If possible, expect him to spend the entire day clinging to you, he just wants some love!!

Jeno `~ It was your first Valentine's Day as a couple and he literally went to every single person he knew to get some advice for what to do. He wanted this day to be a happy day for the both of you and would probably freak out if something didn't go according to plan.

Picnic time!! *bonus points if you know how to bike ✋You guys would totally bike to a flower garden and find a nice spot to sit on and eat some snacks!

Haechan `~ You would rarely be by yourselves so he would dEmANd to spend the day away from everyone. You would keep it lowkey, alone on his bedroom, snuggling under the blankets and watching a random rom com.

He would probably make you watch the kissing booth lmao and you would judge the shit out of him for liking the lead couple. istg I'll never forgive him for liking that film

Jaemin `~ Leave it up to youuuuuuu baby... fr tho he would pretty much (pun intended) be up for anything.

Everything was your choice, whatever you wanted he made sure you would get. You want to stay in? He would gladly binge watch your favourite TV show with you. You want to go out shopping? He would carry all the bags for you. One thing is for sure, he would spoil the hell out of you. That's what boyfriends are for after all (his words, not mine).

Pls he would also make you pancakes for breakfast 🥺 *insert typical scene of bf cooking shirtless and you back hugging him* I- ✋ I am done

Chenle `~ He would take you out all year round, sometimes several times a week, hence why Valentine's Day wasn't really that important to him. However, if he noticed that it was a big deal for you, he would take you out to a over the top fancy restaurant that he knew you liked.

I am convinced going to new restaurants with Chenle would be exciting lmao, you guys would try new food and praise/roast the shit out of it andbdkdb

Jisung `~ Nervous boy... and tbh he would probably only remember it the day before. He feared that you expected him to take you out and buy you an expensive gift. You, however, already knowing how your boyfriend’s mind works, didn't really expect him to be too fancy about it, you just wanted to go for a walk with him and maybe grab some ice cream.

On D day, you showed up with a rose in hand, surprising Jisung as he himself had also brought you a rose. Just 2 fools on the side of the street exchanging flowers pls you're so adorable 😭😭

[mylittleredgirl]

okay i had a cookie and watched the deleted scenes and now i can have thoughts. first of all:

for those of you without the benefit of the cheaply packaged blu-rays, one of the deleted scenes was a flashback to young pike and alora and the episode is sooooo much better without it

apparently they spent a total of 3 minutes together in a starfleet shuttle (that she had for don’t-worry-about-it reasons), she used a ton of english idioms a non-federation alien would have no reason to know, they flirted for 45 seconds of peril, and THAT’S IT

THAT’S THEIR BACKSTORY

THEY BARELY EXCHANGED NAMES??

lmaoooo

anyway good job editor ditching that one

it does make it much funnier though that they’re in bed like “i wondered about you…💕” “i wondered about you too…💞” “wondered if you ever learned to fly a fuckin shuttle lmao”

because that was literally the only interaction they had

ANYWAY

the best part of this episode was our crew! everyone did their job so well and i feel like they clicked as a team here. everyone is covering their part of the field and i trust them to do it!! la’an is a good teacher and spock is perceptive and diligent and una is great and sam kirk is THERE! i missed my funny little guy.

uhura is sooooo smart and good and i’m so happy for her impressing the shit out of everyone one department at a time

even if she accidentally destroyed that ship

m’benga……. i’m CRYING 😭 please save his kid

i know they don’t save his kid

BUT PLEASE SAVE HIS KID

speaking of doomed kids that little alien boy was so cute and lovable and that was fucked upppp

he made a hopscotch game out of noble gasses 😭 he wanted to be space pen pals with spock 😭

i’m sure in the last year and a half people smarter than me have gotten into it about a society literally floating on the glorified suffering and death of a child of color while a powerful white woman cries about how necessary it is

the story was so layered and good! there was a lot of intricate stuff happening culturally and interpersonally (the guy playing the kid’s father brought so much nuance to it!) and i really enjoyed the twists!

but like the knowledge that THE KID IS STILL THERE SUFFERING while we’re all warping around seeking out new civilizations for the next few seasons is gonna stick with me

(side thought: maybe the federation should go look in on that wasteland colony of people who self exiled? they might appreciate some help in exchange for medical knowledge)

the weakest part of the episode for me is specifically the line where alora says “we don’t know why our founders set it up this way”

it just felt like a writing shrug when one line could’ve served both the world-building and social commentary. WHY is the orphan crushing machine there!!! or even, why did the founders tell you it was there!

by the way, the OTHER deleted scene was an extended breakup moment for alora and pike, also made so much better by the final editing choice to just have him beam out mid-sentence instead

no. BYE ✌️

(anson mount shirtless tho 👀)

omg wait i just looked up the episode and this is the summary

THE LOST LOVE OF HIS LIFE

THREE MINUTE ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE CALL

anyway, i’m very glad i didn’t see that episode summary beforehand and SO ARE YOU, because it’s some false vina advertising and i would have been insufferable for a WEEK after that kind of disappointment

@prettypinkdork in the notes you are SO correct this is 1960s inspired episode titling at its finest!

five stars.

trekathon update:

strange new worlds 1x06 lift us where suffering cannot reach

had a great time!

what the fuck tho

[kaasknot]

Please take this as an offense but I am absolutely fascinated by your current obsession with Buster Keaton and went back through your account to figure out what rabbit hole led to this but couldn't figure it out. If you're okay with sharing can you tell me the rabbit hole that led to this?

OFFENS TAKEN no but okay it's really kind of dumb. this past january someone reblogged a buster keaton post, i assume a stunts gifset because those get numbers, and i hit up his tag on a whim to see what was what.

now, at the time i was writing an OC character for star wars. and while i knew just about everything else important about this character, i didn't have a clear idea of what he looked like. but i was scrolling through pics of this old-timey comedian and it slowly dawned on me: my character looks kind of like buster keaton. official facecast made.

and honestly, that's why i came back to the tag a second time. if it hadn't been for that association, i probably would have forgotten about buster and moved on. but, once a month or so i'd jump back in the buster keaton tag, refresh my memory on my OC's face situation, and then jump back out.

till eventually i guess it hit critical mass, and all of a sudden in late may i'm hitting up the buster tag… because i'm thirsty for buster. i pretty clearly remember a series of gifsets around The General that made me go "…damn, son."

gonna wax rhapsodic here for a bit. let's get the most obvious point out of the way: buster keaton is pretty. he's got cheekbones and big eyes and a profile to die for. and he's ripped, because he's a goddamn acrobat. like, his vastus medialis continually makes me go "that can't be real." also, he's a short king. a small little guy. 5'5", and perfectly willing to make jokes about it—and that kind of security is hotter than the surface of the sun.

he's also ridiculously funny. he made his career on that, you'd kind of hope he would be; but specifically it's funny to me. his sense of humor matches mine perfectly: wry, ironic, a touch of the absurd/surrealistic, leaning to black humor, and with minimal use of sticky substances or stupidity. i have so much trouble with modern comedy because 90% of the time it's just so dumb. buster keaton movies are not dumb. his hero is a clever little shithead—if somewhat naive and literal-minded—with abysmal luck, who gets into awkward situations and does his clever best to get himself back out. i vibe with it.

and then obvs his stunts. the more of his movies i watch the more i mutter "how did he not die?" and "is he made of rubber bands and cotton balls??" his physicality is so satisfying to watch, and not just in a prurient way (tho i am definitely also watching in a prurient way). this is a man with supreme control over his body and a thorough understanding of physical comedy. he was pulling out pratfalls well into his 60s, yo.

and the more of his movies i watch (especially in comparison to roscoe arbuckle's movies), the more i appreciate how good of a filmmaker he was. he let the story do the talking, rather than clutter up the screen with intertitles. his precise use of camera angles, the astonishingly good cinematography, the use of the camera itself to sell a gag (i.e. the dream sequence in Sherlock, Jr.). i saw a letterboxd review call The General "mad max fury railroad" and i haven't been able to get that out of my head, because y e a h, his editing was as precise as margaret sixel's. i watched "One Week" after watching all of the arbuckle shorts he was in, and lemme tell you, my third eye was blown wide open. "oh," i said to myself. "i get why people call him a genius."

and from a frothing fangirl perspective, he has built in artificial scarcity. his smile is rare, his voice is rare, shirtless scenes are rare. (in reality, none of these things are particularly hard to find in his films, but like i say to everyone who sits still long enough for me to yammer at them, their perceived scarcity makes them so much more compelling. when you hear him say "pass" in Sunset Boulevard you quiver like you're catching sight of ankles in the 1800s). it encourages thirsting.

the more i learn about him the more obsessed i get.

One Foot in the Fade commentary pt 2, spoilers

Amari tree part had me weepy

"She was finally free from the burden of having me try to make her happy” OH MY GOD FUCK OFF LUKE. SilverMadi feels in this chilis 2nite

Baxter!!

Goddamn Luke's Baxter voice is sexy.

Ah Baxter is giving cages Flint energy, not a deathwish, but as in “accepting the inevitable.”

Something something the library misinformation campaign and the stories they tell their children about at night/a story is true a story is untrue. The ones we want to believe are the ones that survive. I SEE YOU LUKE

Hmmm the Bridge has something to do with this too

I really like his Irish accent, I think that's a new one? (most of these comments are about the voice acting lol)

TITLE DROP!!!! I am cautiously optimistic about the genie and their plan. But because I know Luke (angst gremlin, sadist) and because I know Sunder verse, I'm bracing myself for absolute tragedy and I'm still not going to be ready for it.

This man putting R's where they don't belong again: Aroma-r Area-r

It's the ONLY tell tho. Besides that it’s a flawless American accent. The Southern American one is a little more affected/over the top but it gets its point across and it is funny.

Fetch is putting together a dnd party I’m LIVING

Oh my God Larry is the rich and unlikable nerd trying to buy friends ohhh my god. HE'S THE ONLY MEMBER

I fucking LOVE Eileen so much

The werewolf voice is LETHAL 😳

The part with Lazarus and then the part in the Hunter’s Lodge just fucking chef's kiss 10 out of 10. so fucking funny and good and engaging and I'm having a feeling that by the end I’m going to like OFITF better than DMIAD which is saying something, cuz that shit is a masterpiece.

Aragorn just showed up (Theo the werewolf that is, what an entrance)

“more wolf than were” BAHAHAHAHA. These books have me CACKLING on the way home from work.

The thing about the Minotaur, having a beast inside of you like okay we see you Mr Arnold. You have two sides at war with each other mmhmm

ROAD TRIP ROAD TRIP ROAD TRIP

This might be my favorite part of any of the books ever it's amazing I love it so much

All the sexual tension 😳 in this river bathing scene 😳

Okay, okay, I see that he is endearing all these characters to me as a unit. He’s having them bond, because they’re on a roadtrip/camping trip and they’re collecting unique experiences together. And that’s super cute and I love it, but it means SOMETHING BAD IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN.

"Even Larry, prone to blurting out obvious questions, didn’t need to ask whether the creature was still alive. When something dies in front of you, you know about it. You feel it in that part of yourself that knows the things you try not to think about so you can find a way to get up in the morning. It was gone, and that was that.” Okay okay okay okay all right. That. SURE DID BRING UP SOME UNPLEASANT THINGS AGAIN THANKS LUKE. He’s SUPER good at fucking my shit up. Like. PERSONALLY. -shudder-

Side note, I just realized: oh my god bro “one foot in the fade” is Jay oh my god (this is about my dissociation. I HAVE ONE FOOT IN THE FADE lmaoooo)

One of my greatest delights is getting to hear Luke sing as a werewolf

This found family shit is about to ruin my life because it is so wholesome but the thing is I know angst gremlin Luke Arnold and I know shit is about to go horribly wrong I'm just sitting here tense and waiting

did I mention I really ADORE this vignette style for the camping incidents/encounters? Cuz I do

Fetch did you fuck that werewolf in the tent while drunk is that why you feel so bad the next day cuz you don’t remember?

baby boy everyone DOES NOT HATE YOU. but also fucking mood

CAR CRASH. I knew it was coming and also Luke are you talking shit about people who wear that many necklaces shirtless? XD Hypocrite much babe?

--

Stay tuned, working my way through the book otw to work :P
