went to a classical concert last night and i saw this guy who’s the section leader for the cellos. he had his hair up in a bun and i was like “geto playing the cello fits so well actually” or rather the features of the cello fits him so perfectly and it does !!!! the lower timbre of the cello is such a testament to his raspy and calm voice, but when triggered by external forces (elgar cello concerto im looking @ u — the piece makes such a beautiful use of the instrument), the outburst is so intense and hard-hitting, something i’d expect from a collected man like geto who, when he gets angry and furious, really burns everything in his way with his spite lol.

the lower register of the cello is often a grounding instrument for the piece when it’s not played in a concerto, sort of like a bass guitar in songs, and i think at geto’s core that’s what he was for gojo — someone not as strong as gojo in terms of a flawless technique but always being the voice of reason, that laidback, chill friend who sometimes surprises you with an insane idea that usually differs from the voice of reason (when the cello is put on centre stage for a concerto, that is).

and also the fact that in ep 23’s juju sanpo there’s the (joking) implication of gojo being a violin teacher despite it all being a ploy for megumi’s supposed situation of getting hit on, it also DOES fit gojo so much because the violin in general is a really attention-seeking instrument (don’t kill me!! i play violin and i mean... i sorta agree). there’s not one but two sections of the violins in the orchestra and it’s shrill, high-pitched, a little bit of the buzz in the ear when played not so well, but when manipulated well i think it’s truly one of the most beautiful instruments constructed. and that exactly feels like what gojo is — not to reduce his character to an instrument, but rather just pointing out similar features of the violin’s sound to parts of gojo’s character — a little insufferable and annoying at first but he has a lot of depth with every year that he ages, maybe not at first when he was younger but there is that fact that older violins harmonise and sound better from the constant use and practice of the player.

the gojo now is like an aged violin like an old stradivarius or guarneri, technique honed perfectly from years and years of practice after the whole debacle of riko. the luthier process is also important — the act of satoru’s parents essentially making love and producing gojo who shifted the trajectory of the jujutsu world — where it shows that luthiers who construct the instrument from scratch will not know if their instrument will sound well years later, but it differs in his case. it just so happens that his parents were lucky luthiers who already knew the value of their instrument from the beginning.

honestly I can't tell if my final opinion is respect or disappointment when it comes to kohei horikoshi and gege akutami

both of them somehow managed to make frankly iconic and compelling characters that are far more interesting than anyone else in their respective stories but then both of them also managed to have strong starts to their series and hit genuinely sick climactic moments in early arcs..... and then just completely lose the plot from there, to the point where said iconic characters became like the only bright spots left. Like is it more impressive that they managed to hit home runs like that in the first place, or that they still found a way to fuck it up?

genuinely torn on this. dilemma for the ages

Bucket hat law is peak 🤌🏼 fuck that brimmed hat put the bucket hat version on!!

Also thinking about @kikoukus cold hands are the enemy post bc I feel like law suffers this immensely, I feel like it would bother him too. They’re cold like death, cold like the night Cora San died to protect him, cold in a way that makes him question am I really alive? Is this even living?

He questions if he’s allowed to touch you with these cold hands of death of his, yes he plays up the whole surgeon of death thing but you’re so warm and tender and good, he doesn’t want to taint you, doesn’t want you to know the horrors he knows or know death like he does

His hands are cold and he questions if they’re as cold as his heart is, if they can be warmed by your touch

I already saw it at Papermill, but I saw the Great Gatsby musical again! It was just as weird and Not Great as it was at Papermill!

The actors did the best they could with the material. The story continued to be not great. Loved the technical aspects. The score was enjoyable. And a swing went on for Myrtle mid-show, which is always so impressive.

The book and the lyrics are just ... there's no nuance in this show. Please. Please let me think for myself and draw my own opinions and takeaways. Please.

I do think that it would be better devoid from the context of the book, because with the context of the book, I knew what they could have done and what they were missing, which I think would have made the show better. But on its own, it's a fine show.

I had forgotten there were...choices made when it came to Benedict Arnold's accent. Also I bet Joshua Hett Smith wishes Turn's version of the Arnold-André meeting was the accurate one because he seems to be Sir Not Appearing In This Plot.

I had also forgotten how I can't look at JJ Feild in what I guess isn't actually Joshua Smith's coat and not go, "Why have the Americans captured Loki and how badly will this end for them?"

[bucketnspade]

Wow last night in group therapy agere was brought up and it felt so weird just getting to openly talk abt it / hear abt it from others

[goldenhourhimbo]

I just had a question pop in my mind and immediately thought of asking you :p why is Daniel’s (old) ear piercing not talked about at all?

I LOVE that this is my brand, thank you.

I’m assuming it’s because we moved on to rings that say “let’s fuck” and triple chains around his thick neck - the Fuckboy Glow Up™️ if you will.

But 2007 Daniel, you will always be famous.

Is the Larycent leak real ? Why they couldn't just have sex ?

Considering multiple people and reviewers mentioned it, it seems very real. While I'm worried about how they're gonna play this wrt the implication of having a disabled man have a fetish about the same bodypart thats the reason for his disability (it sounds like a long-winded and bad joke on surface lvl reading), I think there is a way to not have it be goofy/insulting — I trust Clare Kilner and the HOTD writers more than I ever trusted D&D, also on the front of not being overt wrt sexual assault, and Alicent already had her traumatic sexual experience shown on screen — to do that again would feel cheap, plus I want her to experience actual sexual gratification and not be a silently suffering victim. That'd be a disservice to her character.

Why don't they have sex? Phew, I can think of at least two reasons;

1. PiV sex is traumatic to Alicent. We see her dissociating when she has sex with Viserys and it's implied that this has been the case every time. Now that she can "choose" how to enjoy herself, why should she do something she doesn't feel comfortable with?

2. Alicent reasons that it's not real sex if it's not PiV — thus she isn't committing sin, unlike Rhaeyra whose three eldest sons are proof of her infidelity towards Laenor. Everything else exists in that nebulous gray area that's neither good nor bad.

3. They're both into it as is it.

I don't mind it, it's not smth I would've come up with since feet are my huge RL squick but I look forward to how they're gonna portray that dynamic.

Can we hear you talk about Victors relationship with his family ? :3c  /  @pinkurival​.

yeah !!  so like....i have some Thoughts about victor’s relationship with his parents especially.  he’s a Small Town Kid, where they all know everyone and no one really locks their doors at night.  since pokemon is always so Frustratingly Vague about the protag’s families, i’m going to assume that victor’s father died not terribly long ago.  i would put his death around a maximum of five years prior to victor’s gym challenge, although i would say it was closer to two to three years prior.  his father actually worked for one of macro cosmos’ subsidiaries, macro cosmos rail, but was killed during an unfortunate work-related accident.

since his father was often gone for work, victor didn’t see much of him, honestly.  but from the sparse memories he has, his father would be home at the very least for dinner as many nights a week as he could, and would usually read victor a bedtime story when he was younger.  however, when he died, victor wasn’t quite so sad as his mother was.

over the years, victor felt the grief of his father’s death secondhandedly via his mother.  she would set an extra place at dinner every night, his clothes stayed in their closet, untouched.  it was years before she could stand to part with any of his belongings, including the bag victor starts out with on his journey.  although he never really grieved his father, he did grieve for his mother, who had lost her husband.

since his passing, victor and his mother don’t really speak about his father or their life before.  it’s an unwritten rule that most people know not to mention the man around victor’s mother.  surprisingly, though he saw his father less, there was a stronger bond between victor and his father, not that he ever loved his mother any less.  but in the years since his father passed, victor and his mother have a distance between them, the kind that grief puts there, the kind that can’t really ever be undone.

on the flipside, with his sister gloria ( @227heart​ ), they’d always been close as children and that closeness remained as they took on the gym challenge.  post-game as champion, victor is often far from home and not able to visit as much as he’d like, but he calls his mother at least once a week and messages gloria nearly every day, if not then every other day.  overall his family relations are pretty normal, save for the elephant in the room.

I'm very pro wukong and I understand there's more to it, but for God sakes it's macaque's literal eye just give it back. *runs aways before I'm attacked*

the way you said this is so amusing that it gave me a little laugh, like you know that i'm completely out of my mcfucking mind about wukong. which is true. i Am. but also you're so right bestie this eye hoarding is freak behavior on wukong's part but he just [clenches fist] Won't Give It Up because that's his reverse hole in one. knocked it right out of maq's head and sanctified it, baptized it in the blood of the hole in his heart.

what a freak dork loser
