Just finished part one. Canā€™t believe Jade decided to give us a full on Barbie transformation. :D (Iā€™d say Cinderella because Disney but itā€™s funnier if itā€™s Barbieā€¦although, Jade as a fairy godeel)
He is the best fairy god-eel, albeit quite the smooth-talking one!!!! I must admit I have a thing for Octavinelle gifting their beloveds a pretty outfit (Azul with the swimsuit in his fwb story and now Jade with the lolita gown). It is my weakness. OTL when I inevitably write Floyd's fwb fic, he will be giving Reader some sort of outfit to wear (this is imperative). Although unlike Jade and Azul, it will probably be something like a shrimp onesie because that's just how Floyd is. <3 so silly and goofy, but I wouldn't have him any other way hehe.
But I digress!! I do so love Jade and his fairy god-eel behaviors in that scene. How dare he get away with calling us his moon/jellyfish princess!!!!! So sly... but he's forgiven because he's Jade. (į“—ĶˆĖ¬į“—Ķˆ)ą“’

Obsessed with the way Evadne's relationship with Apollo is described. Obsessed with the way Apollo was especially gentle with her because she was sheltered, hidden away and hadn't had any sort of experience with love prior to Apollo (and due to it being described as her 'first learning Aphrodite's joy' through Apollo', it was probably her first time even being attracted to someone). Obsessed with the way when she runs away, she stops in a violet patch to give birth. Y'know, violets, very famously the flower so strongly associated with Aphrodite that they were used in love potions? Those violets. Obsessed with the way that when Apollo realised his lover was going to have to deliver their child alone, he sent BOTH the goddess of childbirth and ALL THREE OF THE FATES to help and support her. Obsessed with the way that Apollo sends snakes to feed his baby honey straight from their fangs because Evadne abandons their son out of straight primal fear when her stepfather finds her and how the description of that honey is 'sweet venom' [į¼°ĻŒĻ‚] of the bees and is DEFINITELY a poetic pair/pun with [į¼“ĪæĪ½] aka violets and that every single thing about this relationship, conception and birth is a complete and utter fairytale down to Evadne's insanely overprotective stepfather having an immediate change of heart when he learned Evadne's child was an actual, legitimate Son of Apollo and the babe, after being cared for by his dad's honey-fanged snake buddies, was found perfectly healthy five days later swaddled in a blanket of violets (y'know the flowers so strongly associated with Aphrodite that they were used for lo-) and they called him Iamus aka Boy of the Violets which is AAAAAARRRR I AM GNAWING AT MY ENCLOSURE
Iamus was made of love. Everything about him was surrounded by deep and profound love and like, let's not even talk about his whole Thing of when he came of age and was like "I need to find out what my purpose is" and he literally had a Disney Protagonist moment where he ran out into the wilds and was like "Father!! Grandfather!! Tell me what I'm supposed to doooo!!" and then APOLLO FUCKING ANSWERED AND LED HIM TO ONE HIS TEMPLES ENTIRELY BY TALKING WITH IAMUS AND LETTING HIM FOLLOW HIS VOICE FOR THE WHOLE JOURNEY LIKE -
What do y'all know about the kind of SSS tier romantic escapades Apollo had fr?
#ginger rambles#NO BECAUSE WHAT DO Y'ALL KNOW ABOUT APOLLO AND EVADNE FR#They're a MAD underrated couple and their story is what everyone wishes Hades/Persephone was#Evadne actually WAS sheltered and overprotected because she was a daughter of Poseidon explicitly given to Aepytus to watch over#And Aepytus to his credit wasn't actually a bad man or anything he just took his job very very seriously#Super pious guy - even though he was positively incandescent when he found out Evadne was pregnant he didn't hit her or anything#He just was like ā€œGet me my HORSE I am going to consult the GODS about my DAUGHTER'S HARLOTRYā€#Evadne was fucking terrified of him though she hid that pregnancy like her life depended on it#And the minute she heard horse hooves even though she had just finished giving birth she dropped Iamus like he was molten and fucking ran#I could only imagine Aepytus having set up a baby shower or something cause he was overjoyed by the oracle and Evadne gets home thinking#she's going to get Dungeon'd only for Aepytus to hug her and be like ā€œYou should've told me you were seeing Apollo sob emoji sob emojiā€#God I'm sure Evadne had a bunch of trauma to work through with her stepfather changing his whole entire attitude on a complete#Apollo doesn't directly interfere with their lives after Iamus is born up until Iamus comes looking for him but he was definitely keeping#a very close eye on them all through their lives#Ugh I'm sick I'm so sick in the head thinking about them#apollo#evadne#iamus#greek mythology#ginger chats about greek myths

something Iā€™ve been thinking abt is how many people think Makoto is immune to despair. I donā€™t think he is. I think becoming the ultimate Hope was BECAUSE he felt despair. He wouldnā€™t have fully reached that point without Junko. Makoto becoming such a beacon was his last attempt to avoid completely falling and it wasnā€™t because he didnā€™t feel despair, it was because he was too damn stubborn to allow everything to go to waste and he refused to sacrifice his beliefs for someone elseā€™s. His inner monologue tells me he DID experience the same new low the other suvivors did in the final trial, but at the point where he had the choice to give up and die, he looked at the others and he looked at Junko and he couldnā€™t allow it to happen, not out of self preservation, but because the idea that Junko would have control over their lives made him FURIOUS. and that utter refusal to die kicked in, wether luck or otherwise, and he made the concious effort for one last push while something in him was breaking. He had to be broken in order for the Ultimate Hope to come through so aggressively, bc it could only exist in the face of the Ultimate Despair. He snapped the same way she did, but in the other direction. In what could have been his final moments he chose to embody everything Junko wasnā€™t, and every single optimistic and luck fueled ideal in him suddenly charged forward and pushed him. It was a combination of the final straw and a choice. Makoto isnā€™t immune to feeling despair, heā€™s just too stubborn to fall into it of his own volition. I think thatā€™s why I like that scene in DR3 so much. People were SO SHOCKED Makoto actually fell for the tape, that he actually became despair for a moment. I saw people getting mad or disappointed, saying it was pathetic and Makoto seemed to fall from some sort of pedestal for them. Honestly part of me wonders if that sort of mentality, which clearly people had in universe, affected Makoto a bit. Like he started to see himself as less of a person, subconsciously. Prompting him to take more risks, less self preservation, act way more bold. It seems he has to be reminded a lot not to put himself in danger by his friends, to not do something too reckless. All over the place I would see in regards to that scene either this frivolous ā€˜oh this was just angst drama with no meaning behind itā€™ or ā€˜he can do better than that. heā€™s so weakā€™ or ā€˜come on, thereā€™s no way heā€™d fall into despair, heā€™s the Ultimate Hope!ā€™ This kind of mentality, which was kind of ironic considering Ryota was there the entire time saying the same thing and treating Makoto the same way. Like Makoto was superhuman. Like Makoto didnā€™t feel despair the same way ā€˜normal peopleā€™ did. In a way that was also how Munakata saw Makoto. Makoto stopped being a PERSON to the world when he became Ultimate Hope, he became a concept, a belief system, much the same way Junko ascended beyond herself. But the difference is that treating Makoto that way is the opposite of the reason Makoto became such a representative for hope. He wasnā€™t doing something no one else could. He was doing something everyone had the chance to, he justā€¦ was a little more optimistic, a little more stubborn, a little more ā€˜gung-hoā€™ about things. He just took the lead where no one else did, where no one else knew they even COULD in the face of Junkoā€™s unstoppable force. She had overcome the biggest threats and obstacles in the world, what could one person do? And the answer Makoto found was, anything. Everything. It doesnā€™t all rest on Makoto, heā€™s just the one that was inspired to try to do what seemed like the impossible. But as evidenced by the change in his friends after that trial, itā€™s clearly not something only Makoto is capable of. The others pulled out of despair thanks to Makoto, but it was their choice to do so.
ā€œButā€¦ this world is so huge, and weā€™re so small. What can we doā€¦? No, we can probably do anything. Yeah! We can do anything!ā€
#makoto naegi#Danganronpa character analysis#Danganronpa#danganronpa thh#danganronpa future arc#I fucking love Makoto Naegi man.#I think thereā€™s a fine line of nuance to Makoto thatā€™s easy to miss bc he doesnā€™t really make it known#heā€™s not a pushover and heā€™s not overpowered. heā€™s a people pleaser but he will say what needs to be said#heā€™s an immovable object and the exact opposite of Junko but heā€™s also just a normal guy whoā€™s optimistic and (un)lucky#he isnā€™t invincible but he has immense power to his words the same way Junko did#if anything his superpower is being kind above all else. heā€™s compassionate to some of the worst people in the world.#he was even conpassionatr to an extent to Junko. he didnt want her to kill herself despite everything sheā€™s done#and he still acknowledges that for years she was a classmate and friend.#I do think the more he learned abt what she did the more heā€™s come to actually hate her though#post the first game he always refers to her without a suffix to her name which is one of the most subtle rude things you can do#it means you have zero respect for the person youā€™re referring to#and he speaks about her with some venom he doesnā€™t use for anyone else in the future arc#heā€™s not incapable of feeling negative emotions#I really liked the future arc scene bc it showed that Makoto DID experience enough despair to have overcome him if he didnā€™t refuse#and that it still affects him deeply. people treat him like heā€™s either this perfect ideal Chad or this baby chick whoā€™s so delicate#and no one really focuses on how makoto shoulders so much and yet is still vulnerable.#honestly that guy was DUE for a mental breakdown even without the tape. it would have happened eventually#I actually wrote one based on him finally hitting a breaking point after giving so much of himself away and keeping nothing for himself#that his issues that he shoves down constantly finally canā€™t be held down anymore. Hajime helps him bc he knows how that feels#it was a LONG time ago that I wrote that but honestly if I can remember where i was going w it I might finish it#it was initially an rp but I could make it a fic#anyway. the point is Makoto is SO much more complex than people give him credit for#the most fundamental thing about him is that heā€™s normal and thatā€™s ok! thatā€™s what helps him rise!

So I went to the wiki page for the henghill Bullet & Brain mission of 2.2 looking for some dialogue I had missed and
a) I found something incredibly tasty that slotted into some other thoughts I'd been having, more on that on another day, and
b) I saw this super fun little trivia at the bottom, which!
Tumblr media
I knew Penacony characters like Boothill took a lot of inspirations from old movies, but I didn't realize it was even in his and Dan Heng's relationship, that's so cool!!
It fits them very well, it's such a fun reference. "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" was an old buddy Western film (from 1969- nice) about a pair of outlaws. Butch Cassidy was the leader of a gang, and described as clever, affable, and talkative. Meanwhile, his closest companion, the Sundance Kid, was known as a man of few words.
Cassidy's original birth name was much more plain, but similar to Boothill, he took on a new moniker when he became an outlaw. "Cassidy" had been the last name of his beloved mentor, who taught him how to shoot and ride. And Sundance Kid was known as he was because Sundance was the name of his hometown, and it was the only place that had ever managed to catch and jail him, back when he'd been younger (also similar to Dan Heng, but ouch).
These two stick together like glue throughout the length of the film- through Cassidy's leadership of the gang being challenged, through a train robbery gone wrong, through being pursued by mercenaries, and even through fleeing to Bolivia and trying to start over together.
I don't want to say too much more, since the mission title is referencing one specific movie that I've never seen. I kinda wanna watch it now, though, just to see the inspiration that went into Boothill and Dan Heng and how they get along. I just think it's really sweet that these two were literally made to be the best of bros, how lovely is that. šŸ’•
#honkai star rail#this can be ship or plantonic tbh yall are always free to tag my ramblings as you please haha#just! they're so sweet!!#FWENDS#i would love to see more of them being a dynamic duo further down the line ā™”#i think the film moved things along a little quicker but the real life Cassidy and Sundance were actually in south america for a few years#they fled there to get away from pursuers along with Sundance's girlfriend Etta Place.#supposedly they managed to buy a small ranch and the three of them lived peacefully (and even lawfully!) together for like three years-#-until the law caught up with them again#at some point Etta Place returned to the US reportedly due to illness rather than not wanting to get caught like in the film#Sundance may or may not have escorted her back. but whether he did or not he returned to South America with Cassidy#the two of them eventually got into a huge firefight with authorities where Sundance was fatally shot and Cassidy chose to end his own life#that's the most common story anyway. some also say Cassidy snuck back into the US again where he lived quietly until his death.#but it reads kind of like rumors of Elvis Presley sightings to me BSMZKNSKS#the film ended much more happily with the two of them getting into shenanigans and a freeze frame of them in a hail of bullets haha#i wanna see Dan Heng and Boothill fight together too it would be so cool aaaaaa#they would be great at getting into shenanigans! as we've already seen!!#fun bonus info: Boothill's ult literally puts black bars at the top and bottom of the screen to look like a widescreen Western movie#fun bonus info 2: Cassidy was regarded with respect by some people bc he never stole from the poor he only robbed big companies#this is actually nicer than Boothill is in canon bc he openly admits he will rob someone blind if he doesn't like them BSKZKKZMSKDK#(although I feel like its implied he has more standards for this than he gives himself credit for.#like he makes it pretty clear he doesn't particularly like Argenti at first and thinks he's annoying as shit but I'm sure he didn't rob him#...would have been real fucking funny if he did though oh my god I would love to see him try that. it absolutely would not work BSKZKNSKSJS#hsr#henghill#bootheng#dan heng#boothill#hsr boothill#hsr dan heng

Sometimes I just think about Soi Fon. Like that shit was so insane. Easily one of The characters of all time. Youā€™re going to give me a woman who hates the physical manifestation of her soul because itā€™s loud and explosive and she doesnā€™t think itā€™s ā€œproperā€ that it suits her, but itā€™s so obvious it does because sheā€™s angry and stubborn and loud and explosive!!! And then the fact that she never ever calls upon that physical manifestation of her soul until things are so dire itā€™s practically that or death? The fact that in so many ways she lets her emotions build and build and build until they quite literally explode???? And then!!! AND THEN!!!! Add in that she hates her bankai because itā€™s ā€œinappropriateā€ for an assassinā€¦ for her role as captain of the Stealth Forceā€¦ the position she inherited from Yoruichi after she abandoned Soul Society for Uraharaā€¦ She despises the physical manifestation of her explosive nature, the nature she hides until she canā€™t, just like she shoved down her feelings for Yoruichi, the betrayal, the hurt, the love, until she quite literally couldnā€™t anymore and it all came back up in a BANG!!! Like godā€¦ oh my god, no one will ever do it again and kubo did not deserve such a cool fucking character in the least

Man.
there's just something about the love between a woman whose impending death is inevitable and a man who's an immortal undead...
#bg3 spoilers#thoughts about media#starlach is so beautiful but so fucking tragic#apparently you cannot save karlach as astarion unless you've ascended#you cannot join her in avernus as a spawn :(#bro and it kills me karlach has been unwillingly celibate for 10 years#but that doesn't matter. she loves astarion SO MUCH she just wants to be with him. however she can.#AND THE FUCKING KISSES????? dude she is SOOO gentle with him!!!!!!!!#makes me think of this one short french film. which is obv a bit different from karlach and astarion's romance.#but it's still about valuing the love you have while it's there. because it can be lost so so easily.#basically a husband is cheating on his wife but then his wife falls terminally ill. and so he takes care of her.#and while taking care of her he realises just how much he loves her. he stops seeing the other woman. and stays with his wife to the end.#just the devotion he shows her in her remaining time alive and then the final shot where he's alone and just. dumbstruck with grief....#I saw this film years ago and it still sits with me. it was so beautiful and tragic. very french! lmao.#just makes me think of starlach in a way though. like the beauty of that limited time karlach and astarion would have together.#and the fucking tragedy that would be karlach dying and astarion...immortal astarion.... being alone again.#ugh MAAAN!!!! starlach and wyllstarion and wyllach are all SUCH good pairs#they offer a veritable buffet of the most wonderful. tender. and tragic romance tropes T____T#I have to give credit where credit is due. thank you larian for two VERY fucking good m/f pairings.#so easy for writers to come up with piss poor m/f romances that have no chemistry but karlach works SOO well with either astarion or wyll.#i wish the fandom wasn't. well as fandoms normally are. you know. šŸ˜’#literally any of these three pairs SHOULD be the most popular imo.#if you disagree- that's your own opinion. I am not here to fight with people.#also one last thing? the youtube poster's icon fucking KILLED me. please look at it.

I rarely use the block button on anyone who isn't a porn bot, but lately I started to block a lot of people. Namely, some of the annoying Thistle fans who insist on infantilizing him to hell and back. I'm more-or-less chill with people interpreting him as a minor, but at least show some respect, goddamn it! I hate those who reduce his whole characterization to "He's just a kid! He's a little baby! He doesn't know any better!"
These morons wouldn't be able to survive a single day in his shoes. Thistle literally made the best decisions any adult could make in his situation. And then he did a bunch of other unnecessary and morally reprehensible bullshit that is to be expected from a person who is very clearly mentally unwell... But I honestly don't think that I myself could have done anything better than him, at my 20 years of age.

also tbt but shoutout to the way this one tweet of mine got these Likes trickling in from randos, dunno why this one in particular but win that it was one that outright says Autistic. and taylor mason loyalist / understander
Tumblr media
truly in this and any other glimpses it's o7 & warms my heart that there's other absolute randos who are Nonplussed about billions re: winston, that is, they too understand him as a person in the world of the story & from that perspective respond to material like "uh"

Ok but Wilson baby girl this isnā€™t why House told Stacy to leave.
I think itā€™s interesting how House didnā€™t tell Wilson that he talked to Mark. That scene is probably the best Mark is in and like the desperation like heā€™s at the end of his rope and heā€™s where House was five years ago. Houseā€™s face when Mark says ā€œI donā€™t know how to stop yelling at herā€ he recognizes thatā€¦. I donā€™t know how to not transfer this pain Iā€™m feeling and I donā€™t know how to not resent you. That scene where both of the men Stacy fucked over (the original girlboss fr) that scene where both of them are struggling to walk up the stairs and Mark has to lean on House like itā€™s so good.
But Mark will get better. House knows Stacy is running to him because itā€™s bad right now but Mark is going to get better. House is not. Andā€¦ he knows the pain of being left behind by a partner when struggling with a disability.

FUCKING LEE..#i LOVEDDD nishiki though. every emotional scene he was in just slayed so hard. literally stole the show..#the scene in the forest where he tried to spare kiryu and the scene on the boat where he said that he wanted to cross the line together.#NISHIKIYAMA AKIRA YOU WILL ALWAYS BE FAMOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!#the ending part where they tell everybody's futures really worried me though.. like šŸ˜ŸšŸ˜Ÿļæ½ļæ½ what do you mean nishiki changes. what happened..#when i first saw that i instantly thought about the cliche in black movies where they tell every1's future at the end šŸ˜­šŸ˜­#OVERALL.
