#you might not like her ep

[lunalovegood2]

Someday, you'll kiss a girl, and you'll panic. Some guy'll break your heart, and you'll feel manic. Then you'll learn to let people have their opinions. And talk about your traumas. And like the body you live in. Someday, you'll learn to keep your own secrets. Say you're doing okay and really mean it. You'll lose your faith a bit and question if she's you. For a while, you might not like her, but I do.

Don't think this counts as a spoiler as it's one of those background details/extra material stuff that the anime usually doesn't cover so I'm gonna make a post about it for the anime people

Due to elven beauty standards being VERY skewed towards the feminine, Otta

Is as butch as elves can tolerate before they start getting scared.

“he was mentally ill. this monster was a- was a sick fantasy. a product of his dementia.”

“…i saw it too. does that make me disturbed? demented? does… that make me sick too?”

ep 43 had me tearing up in a fucking shopping centre ‼️‼️

b+w alt version that I truly couldn't decide if I liked it more . Also I included a lot of thoughts in the tags but they're somewhat incoherent<3

Tom's line about Shiv being selfish and "find[ing] it very hard to think about me" is actually so telling because while it's absolutely true that she rarely takes his position into consideration, Tom never once thinks about what he can do to help Shiv unless it also benefits him.

Every single time he makes a move or sacrifice that might help her, it's always something that he thinks will give him a leg up. He volunteers to take the fall for cruises, not for Shiv, who is in no way implicated, or even for Waystar, but because he thinks it'll ingratiate him to Logan, and the second it seems like he might have to actually follow through on that, he immediately tries to get out of it and even throws Shiv under the bus. Meanwhile, for all that Shiv disregards his interests, there are a number of things she does that only help him, and she's the one who actually sacrifices something and undermines her position with Logan to beg him not to let Tom go to jail.

It just makes it so clear that no matter how much he might love her (and I think he does, in his own compromised way), for him their relationship was always built on the underlying assumption that it's her job to prop him up, but it's not his job to help her.

Someday, you'll think you disappoint your parents. But they'll love you not despite, but regardless. And you'll learn to let people have shitty opinions. And talk about your traumas. And like the body you live in. Someday, you'll learn to keep your own secrets. Say you're doing okay and really mean it. You'll lose your faith a bit and question if she's you. And for a while, you might not like her, but I do.

hater alert! far too many people say that juri’s character arc ‘isn’t about her being sad about being gay, it’s about being sad about unrequited love that happens to be gay’ and. well. that is not true and by saying that you are completely flattening the brilliance of juri’s character arc which literally culminates in her being able to accept her own lesbianism despite her unrequited love, despite all her shame and self-loathing, despite this pursuit by Some Fucking Guy to try and ‘save’ her from these feelings. like if you think juri’s entire character is just ‘sad about shiori’ how do you appreciate even a modicum of the emotion packed into that final juri duel. it is both about shiori and, even broader, her lesbian identity and what that means to her intrinsically as a person, removed from romantic relationships and just purely as like. you know. Who She Is. the idea that even when juri’s locket is cut from her neck she is still a lesbian that’s still who she is and she cant change that and, crucially, she doesn’t want to even as she is agonised by these feelings. that’s why she forfeits the duel!!!! she’s clocking out she’s quitting she’s saying no!!!!!! this is me and ive got to be ok with that this is me and i can accept that this girl might not love me and i can keep living despite that. like. god im so normal arisugawa juri im so sorry that no one understands you and your intrinsically unapologetically lesbian storyline like i do

idk guys like zhao yuanzhou trolling zhuo yichen and wen xiao and everyone is funny and for sure he is just doing it for fun sometimes and to create safe distance other times but definitely a good chunk of the time he is genuinely like being vulnerable or trying to connect and being met with of course skepticism or some other refusal and then haha of course he was acting, he was just messing with them. Like he makes things jokes that didn’t start out as jokes. Right? Like even on day 1 when he was generally trying to be sinister and confusing like he was so happy to see wen xiao as happy as he could be about anything in that headspace anyway and really tried to tell her about his promise to protect the wilderness and then even after she scoffed and he decided to make it a joke, the “if even you don’t believe me—“ that part too came from something real, that is a real desperation that he is tamping down, and i think so many times pre-ep-17 wen xiao or zhuo yichen giving him that look, like ‘wait that seemed maybe real, or is he fucking with me again’ it’s not just because they’re naive, he’s really not so much more worldly than they are, i think it’s because they feel or see for a second that this isn’t a joke, and then either they decide no it cant be real that would be too— (too sad, too absurd, too much right now) or he decides first and either way haha what a good actor what a tricky demon. Can’t believe he got me again!

someone remind me, is it canon that the terrorist sadists turned whores for good gossip about their little gremlins' war crimes while taking the munchkins for their nature walk???
