y’know what’s interesting?

the way almost all of us eighth graders who read the book either didn’t like darry or thought he was the bad guy in the situation. but as you grow up, you realize darry only had pony’s best intentions at heart and the kind of stress he was under would make anyone lash out.

i think it’s interesting. when you’re the same age as ponyboy you see darry in the same light as him. but when you grow up you realize darry wasn’t the bad guy and he was simply trying his best.

Usually finding out you have something in common with a new acquaintance is a positive thing, but sometimes it's extremely dangerous. If I meet someone who's also into writing, that's like an even 50/50 on whether we should be best friends OR whether every time they open their mouth I will be manfully restraining myself from fistfighting them on the sidewalk outside this bougie downtown brunch spot.

Imagine if the reason Katara ends up becoming the best healer in the world despite clearly prefering to focus on more combat based waterbending was simply because she spent her life with the avatar. An avatar a lot of people hated and an avatar who probably regularly ran into bad situations. She probably had to heal him a lot, and probably in a lot of different situations. She accidentally becomes the best at healing because she ended up marrying the most death-defying person.

This both makes me sad because of the inherant angst but it's also hilarious bc like, she's got to be so done with that bullshit at somepoint. Aang gets stabbed for the 15th time in their lives and she's just like "gdi again? Really?" Not worried at all because she's done this so many times before and Aang's just like "haha 😅 have I mentioned lately that I love you and you're the most amazing person I know?"

After the mole arc, it seemed like Nightfall was at risk of continuing to risk her health for the sake of Twilight. This extra doesn't exactly contradict that (suffering at the doorway all full of cold was sure a choice, after all) but the end part where she thought back to both Twilight and Handler showing concern for her and telling her to take a break makes me think that they're finally getting through to her somewhat. Alas, she's far from fully there so I doubt this is the last stunt we'll see her pull when it comes to neeedlessly trying to impress Twilight, but! I do she's starting to internalise that she needs to rest at times.

And the choice to have Handler in the flashback and not just Twilight is one I'm definitely a fan of. On a conscious level, Nightfall is motivated by wanting to win Twilight's affection, but below that, she is aware that the other agents have experienced loss and don't want to lose her too.

Funny how the people telling her to rest are those who are terrible at taking care of themselves though. With Handler, it's more passive depression, but Twilight's perfectionist streak (though coming from a different motivation) can be just as detrimental to his own health.

It's nice to see that for all they tend to neglect themselves they care about each other enough to push each other to do better by themselves.

The double meaning in No One Mourns The Wicked is gonna have me spiraling

She can't mourn elphie publicly and now she believes both fiyero and her to be dead. Glinda is both trying to get the munchkins to have some goddamn empathy because she promised not to outright clear Elphaba's name like she promised she wouldn't do. Glinda believes herself to be the wicked one,so there's also a want/need for comfort,but the only people to truly know and love her as she is are apparently dead and she thinks she deserves the abandonment and loss of her friend and lover(s)<I said what I said. My heart hurts

What is fun about the last time Shanks saw Mihawk he was probably 29 on the cusp of 30 and then they fall out and they don’t really reconnect until Mihawk is middle age and Shanks on his way there.

That’s alot of time to miss someone you used to know intimately. A whole life has been lived there. And think how much Mihawk must have changed how much shanks himself has changed. All this to say that I really think Shanks loves watching this version of Mihawk being domestic and having his little old lady hobbies.

He loves watching him cook and bake and talk about recipes and how to make sure the little gremlins under his care are getting the proper nutrients. He loves watching him tend to his garden with his ridiculously domestic sun hat, he loves watching him pick strawberries and put them into a little quicker basket and plant and harvest cocoa trees for Perona, and teach Zoro how to chop vegetables really fast and embroider his little flower patterns and read erotica and newspapers Like the same thing and take naps in the sun spot like a cat and interact with the kids and just he likes seeing Mihawk live his life because I will never come down from the hill that Shanks really kind of subconsciously worries about him and his loneliness and kind of the empty way he was living his life.

Cause like I think for shanks it’s such a jarring juxtaposition with the Mihawk that’s still freshest in his memories 10 years ago. 20 something young dangerous and wanted. Mihawk back then was probably the definition of vagabond literally bound to nothing and no one except occasionally shanks. Sailing around in a tiny ass boat with only wine and his sword a one man calamity.The Mihawk he remembers was always itching for a fight and would gladly start one. And because I headcannon Mihawk probably didn’t get his title till after his big blowout with shanks this is still a Mihawk with a lot to fucking prove and he’ll prove it every chance he gets. This is a Mihawk who still regularly accepts challengers and is also actively challenging people. This is a Mihawk that is hunting marines for sport (or revenge Or both) His life revolves around wine, sword-fighting, violence and blood shed and in the way only a man that doesn’t even realize how lonely he is it revolved around shanks.

I just think 20 something Mihawk had 1 friend and 1 hobby and hewas a lonely fuck who was so intensely single-mindedly putting all his energy into both he ends up kind of losing both (shanks crumples under the weights of his expectations and he literally positions himself so far above the crowd in swordsmanship and the one fight he actually does want to have is ruined for him that for a long period of time he doesn’t even experience the same joy that he used to while fighting it’s just another thing he can no longer fully indulge in) 20 something year old Mihawk was a discontent mess rapidly spiraling into depression and nihilistic boredorm and like Shanks can’t do anything about it because Mihawk won’t do anything about it he won’t even properly acknowledge it’s happening. And suddenly they aren’t friends anymore the love of his life literally walks out of it.

And then 10 years go by and zap suddenly here’s this 41 one year old man mostly unchanged but definetly more mature on the cusp of something truly life changing and then there’s this 43 year old with an island and a home and these 2 kids that he can’t even properly contextualize how they fit into his life and that must be so jarring one moment shanks remember A 29 year old nihilist that is literally breaking his heart and now here’s a “mellowed” out little old grandma hobby having middle aged man doing needle point on a Sunday evening come to take his place. A whole life lived in 12 years and Shanks didn’t get to see a lot of it but he’s so glad to see this now, that he gets to have this now.

Sorry can't be horny too busy playing DOOM mods after myhouse.pk3 got updated

as much as i dont like to be a constant negative voice here but man, it really is apparent that i have never actually and fully hated a piece of media before in the way i hate totk

i know know i talked about it alot but it feels almost weird to really have such a visceral hatred for something like this (and hopefully proof that i am not a guy that just hates everything or something, i dont love many things either (as in really really interested, thinking about it, writing things or drawing, possibly hyperfixation way, i do like things but thats more neutrally? idk how my brain works) but towards the vast majority of media and games i just feel neutral or a personal dislike for that just means im not gonna engage with it and nothing more)

and im now saying this bc i didnt expect that id react this strongly to seeing those weird new ... notes? or text stuff from totk (and even botw???) since the switch 2 released- maybe its a bit bc i was kinda surprised by it but boi i do NOT want to read anything of it, even if it gave me more stuff to be annoying about, its like scrolling past extremely smelly dog poo to me- and what may be the strangest thing is that .. that also goes for botw (which i used to love so so deeply)

i guess i myself missjudged just how much totk has really soured everything zelda for me, even if those notes say 'interesting' things i just .. cant take it seriously anymore, they were glued on afterwards, maybe its gonna try and fill any of the massive, continent wide gaps between the two games to try and artificially connect them after the fact, perhaps just some guys trying to think of what a character could say about a place with no real meaning to it, i dont know and i dont want to ................. everything feels insincere now, corporate.

(it feels like zelda too is turning from my beloved hyperfixation into something i dont want to engage with ever again, like its happend before, with other media, and i hated it happend, and now its happening again, i would lie if i said this isnt very distressing to me bc it is, even if it may look stupid, im feeling the best and happiest when i have something to latch onto like this, with this passion and care to work with the media- but it happens by chance, i dont control it, and losing it is really reminding me i am in fact very depressed with nothing to distract me anymore now. ... plus, this zelda hyperfixation felt like the longest running, most passionate, i ever had.)

sorry to say but all your recent posts about living in Baltimore keep making me think of Hairspray. That's what your town looks like to me and nothing can change that perception, you like in the hairsprsy musical town and everyone around you has beehives and dances. Now I'm just imagining you drawing zelink art whilst in a dance chorus line and i will never ever not thunk about that when I see you srt now ok that is all goodbye i love your art i cant believe you draw all that awesome stuff whilst dancing and singing in a musical every day

i want to argue with this but i do know every word to every song in hairspray. so

So my mom watches Hallmark movies and I was walking past a while back when I noticed this one actor, Travis Van Winkle, is basically IRL Curly from Mouthwashing and lskdjf ks

Like, I doubt this guy would want to be in a HORROR story so dark (nor do I really WANT a live action version of the game) but still. Not only does he LOOK like Curly but I think he has the acting chops to pull off the whole "Golden retriever man who 'looks the other way' and 'doesn't want to rock the boat to the point of detriment'" thing Curly has going on based on the little bits I've seen of him from the movies that were on.
