The Golden Hour - Your Surrender

[art-for-a-reason]

Neon Trees - Your Surrender (PROM Movie Version) 

I don’t think I’ve ever posted this here -- it’s the best song they ever did. Enjoy.

This is just a smaller observation that will hopefully someday be part of a larger analysis on Kabru's view of Laios & how Laios impacts him...

But I think it really interesting that Kabru surrenders something for Laios twice, and that these moments are inversions of each other.

The first time, Kabru gives up his life to maintain his control. He changes the course of the entire story with this action, and is willing to die to achieve that. Kabru is (supposedly) entrusting the future to Laios, but he is still very much the primary actor in the overall narrative. He is still the one choosing what the story should be.

The second time, however, Kabru gives up his control to keep hold of something personal and selfish (in the way of dungeon meshi selfishness - it is a good thing to keep this desire. It small piece of what makes him a living creature). He steps aside to let Laios choose the way forward. He surrenders narrative agency for personal agency... not changing the story, but changing himself.

The period I discuss invigorated many genres then. Thus, rock music didn't die, Mark Twain would call these reports an exaggeration. However, I would claim many bands from the era didn't really reach the distances of their idols. Sure, most of the groups from the late noughts still endure, but their latest works don't succeed like their early triumphs. For instance, Neon Trees feel like an example of the rock idiom from the previous decade. They sounded in line with what the pop charts offered, yet they put these characteristics through the rules of rock. Nonetheless, they should've gone further later on. I am not sure why they and many of their peers struggled afterwards – was rock an abberation at that point? We can only speculate on this.

hello zionism-apologist. your cousin has committed a carjacking. unless he surrenders himself to the authorities within the hour, we are going to execute you. it's unfortunate, but, ultimately, the choice is up to him, and he shouldn't have commited the carjacking in the first place.

Hand-painted fanmade reproduction cel from episode 22 of the possession scene in the 1992 anime, made by @yamino (She's currently taking commissions)!

This reproduction also has a special feature! When she steals enough Energy, then...

...her eyes glow in the dark!

So yeah that's pretty much one of the coolest things I own XD

I didn't want to buy any official original 90s anime cels, for fear of damaging them with my shoddy house conditions; I feel like the original cels belong in a museum! But this reproduction one is fun, and it's made for me 💜 Thanks again @yamino!

Additional ramblings on this scene from the anime- I always liked to imagine, even though she's being possessed, that this smile was, in part, Naru herself smiling that wickedly, even if she doesn't fully remember the events afterwards. That thought was a big inspiration in my past life story ideas about Osakaite!

every time i think of the soft spot checo seems to have for charles it makes me think about that story about charles calling him after mexico 2021 to congratulate him and say how happy he was that checo had his parents there to celebrate with him and i experience immediate heartbreak all over again

idk if it's an actual trope but i really love it when there's a scene in a film or tv show where someone tries to defend their position but gets overwhelmed and told to lay down their weapons and rather than slowly, carefully laying it down while trembling in fear, throws them down with an expression of visible disgust and barely repressed boiling fury, because it's such a powerful gesture of defiance. like, sure, i know i'm beaten and there's no way i can fight my way out of this, you've got me cornered exactly where you want me, but why the fuck should i accept surrender with grace? what dignity is there in repressing my honest feelings about how much this fucking blows? what good is there in being a 'good sport' about it when you're against everything i stand for? no, actually. you don't get to see the shadow of defeat in my eyes just because you're holding a gun to my head. you'll never know the satisfaction of breaking my spirit. i'll deny you what you want until my last breath. kicks my sword angrily and scowls.

synopsis. you, suguru and the taste of victory lingering on his lips as intoxicating nectar — or, my humble thoughts about F1 driver ! suguru

a/n. i can’t stop thinking about formula 1 driver!geto and in honor of japan gp (that is only 4h away), here i bring my wild thoughts. i wrote this on a whim after seeing the qualifying results of today, lmao. unfortunately i really love this idea, so i hope i’ll be able to write a full and lengthy os one day — 🐣

F1 driver!geto who is the most successful driver in the whole season. age 27, suguru has already made a name for himself in the whole championship. shocking, entertaining and winning over the hearts of every single fan out there.

F1 driver!geto that started the season in melbourne with many problems with the car, but never once became a less dangerous competitor for the world drivers championship title. he managed to secure the podium at least in seventeen races out of twenty-one, his name becoming a guarantee for his whole team.

F1 driver!geto who is now racing for the very last race of the season, in one of the hardest circuits known to man in singapore. the humidity is high, the tension suffocating, the steering wheel slippery underneath the gloves. suguru has to survive two hours of pure adrenaline, remaining focused on the circuit and getting out of the twenty-three curves that create the circuit of marina bay.

F1 driver!geto who you easily spot amongst the waves of people starting to disappear from the box. the start of the race only measly hours away, and you can feel the pressure going up. higher than any other race you’ve attended until now. this is the finale and both the drivers have to do well to end the season in the top five at least.

F1 driver!geto with whom you’ve crossed paths with many times in the last year. it’s natural after all, you suppose. you’ve been working as haibara yū’s pr manager for two seasons now, marking probably the longest contract you’ve ever had with the formula one team. they have been impressed by your work and you’ve been more than happy to making it through so far.

F1 driver!geto who has always caught your attention from the beginning. a driver that left behind him only sparks in the narrowest of curves, the same ones that would proclaim him a hero all over again. you can see, as the people disperse inside the box, his gaze focused on the asphalt. his tight and firm hold over the steering wheel of the single-seater car.

F1 driver!geto that when locks his eyes with yours, make you feel weak and exposed all of the sudden. making your heart beat like that very first day you have met him.

F1 driver!geto that gets taken away together with haibara on the earned pole position from yesterday’s qualifying session. you watch him sprint from one of the many monitors of the box, his first lap time probably one of the best performances this season. you feel your knees tremble slightly as you bring your hands to your lips in a silent prayer: “please, let him come back safely from the circuit”

F1 driver!geto who is left on your hands for the upcoming press conferences as nanami is being called in the paddock for an urgent matter. you try to memorize the events listed on the paper left by nanami in a matter of three laps. three laps only to end this big and so anxiously awaited finale.

F1 driver!geto who takes home the golden ambitious prize of the season, earning his third consecutive title of world champion. and the scuderia becomes a complete mess once the car hits the finish line underneath the checkered flag, with never ending hugs and pats on each other’s backs for the hard work. haibara is confirmed fourth. you swear you saw tears of joy gathering on the corners of some engineers at the pit-wall.

F1 driver!geto that jumps out the car the moment he comes back on the pit-lane, indulging everyone’s excitement and answering back with more enthusiasm on his part. a japanese flag immediately being placed proudly on his tracksuit by his mother. a baseball hat taking over the place of the helmet in a blink.

F1 driver!geto whose party dies a little bit too soon once you grab his wrist and leads him down the hallway, telling him that he must reach the podium on the other side of the paddock in a few minutes. however, you don’t notice the smile that curls around his lips. a soft gleam in his eyes, dimming even further the heavy presence of adrenaline in his body.

F1 driver!geto that stops in his tracks and brings you closer with a hand on your hips, turning you around with a swift and smooth motion and making you yelp. “not even a kiss for your champion? that’s rude dear” and he’s teasing, you know he’s just teasing you. it’s infuriating. and yet, you fall for it once again. cupping his cheek with a hand and leaning in to kiss him. your emotions all over the place: worry, fear, happiness, excitement… love. your brain short circuiting as soon as your lips meets his, and you are acutely made aware of just how much he needed this tiny moment with you alone.

F1 driver!geto who announces publicly his relationship with you only a week later. a press conference at eight in the morning, only the two drivers of the scuderia sitting in front of the panel, and you can’t help but feeling giddy when you hear suguru confirming the rumors about a rumored relationship. your name sounding so soft coming from his lips. and you see the smile he gives, plastered on the TV screen, when he confirms his name for the next season. his adrenaline contagious. and you can’t wait to see him once again in the place he belongs to: the highest place on the podium after another great and successful season.
