#except for duck

[daniifanz]

So Princess Tutu is my favorite show and Duck and Fakir are my sweet babies and I’ve been meaning to mention something I noticed in the opening and closing.

1.) In the opening when it shows quick successions of Mytho, Fakir and Rue dancing I could swear Fakir is doing the mime for love

2.) In the ending when Duck wakes up from dozing in the pond and looks up you see a reflection of someone on the water that looks to be wearing a boys uniform…presumably Fakir coming to visit after she went back to being a duck 🥹🥹

Fruits Basket is actually a pretty fire manga when you consider that it portrayed a perfect picture of people stuck in a situation not of their choosing, who were both victims and perpetrators in their own way but all trapped and hurting, needing an outsider to approach them with kindness and acceptance and love for their current state who still very much did not want them to suffer under the effects of that vicious cycle. Sometimes you need to look beyond your own self to find freedom and healing (the zodiacs), and maybe by serving others can you be reminded that you yourself are just as precious as well (Tohru). Maybe all you need to escape the cycle of suffering is to look beyond yourself and listen, maybe you need a bit of space with the knowledge that you aren't isolated, and maybe sometimes you need that something beyond yourself to reach out to you and never let you go.

Reading 'Making Money' at the moment and I love how in this one Adora Belle is so CLEARLY the A-plot character. She's off commanding armies of golems and uncovering secrets from lost civilizations and marches back to town like "Hey Moist, come help me find a wizard to translate this ancient scroll" and he's just standing there giving Spencer from iCarly like "Ummmmm. Does it have to be like, right now...? Only, you see, my dog's just been made chairman of the bank—"

being a dc fan means knowing deep in your heart that bruce and tim are fighting for the 1st dick grayson fan

when Tim first became Robin i'd bet they both implied that they were Dick's #1 fan and they both stared at each other and started arguing passive aggressively about it. eventually though the passive aggressiveness turned into a genuine bond because Bruce realized 1) he was competing with a thirteen year old and 2) it was nice to talk about his boy with someone who also very much cared about his boy. I can garauntee that Bruce saw Dick being a good big brother to Tim who had this unwavering respect and admiration for Dick the way a younger brother would and that's when Bruce was like "well, i'm screwed. i HAVE to adopt him."

Yknow what's really crazy

Expedition 33 does my absolute most hated trope of all time so well it finally clicked for me and now I'm inspired to give stories with similar twists a second chance

Hey little buddy would you be interested in rephrasing that?

[superbat-lmao]

Alfred takes his first vacation 9 months after Jason comes to stay at the manor. He’s in England for two weeks visiting friends and traveling through his old homeland.

Jason and Bruce are home alone with each other and Jason has really only started to get comfortable. It’s a long two weeks, but they make it through.

When he comes back, he gives Jason a small souvenir he brought back with him and Jason asks him a million and one questions about how it went and who he saw. Alfred laughs and says that for Jason’s spring break the two of them should take a trip there together. They could go see some plays or the royal ballet or even visit some of the castles. Jason is a little stunned at the idea but is very excited. He asks if Alfred ever took Bruce or Dick.

Alfred says that neither of them had a particular interest in some of the things he did, but that they took other trips together. Jason ask if he’ll get to meet some of Alfred’s friends from the service or if he can see where Alfred went to school or any one of a hundred other questions.

Jason’s nervous when it’s finally time to go to England but Alfred tells him Bruce offered to drop them off in the batplane so they wouldn’t have to take public transit. It’s also so Bruce can say goodbye at the absolute last minute. Because it’s only a week, but Jason’s only been with him about a year and been formally adopted less than half that time.

So Alfred shows him as much as he can. They go to the theater and Alfred takes Jason to his favorite play. They go to the ballet together, visit some castles, it’s peaceful in a way Gotham isn’t. And for how used to the city Jason is, Alfred brings him down to a steadier pace.

They have a lot of fun and Jason only ignores directions once on account of not being able to hear him too well when they’re taking the tube in London, which is easily forgiven.

Jason asks Alfred about other holidays he took in Europe, or the other countries he’s traveled to. It’s when Jason himself really begins to open up about his life on the streets or living with Willis or Catherine. Alfred is sharing so many stories with him that Jason slowly starts to reciprocate.

Alfred introduces Jason to two of his old friends, one who owns a pub and tries to let Jason have a sip of beer and the other whose wife runs a shop that Jason picks out souvenirs for Bruce and Dick from.

When it’s time for Bruce to come pick them up, Jason asks if they’ll come back. Not on all of Alfred’s vacations, but on shorter ones together. Alfred says he would be delighted to do so.

what did you think about beckett sennecke's highlight reel goal against the london knights?

[key-rk]

Does Drake have any other friends than Launchpad?

what she said

-

I don't think so, not only is he a difficult guy to be around--he also tends to not let people in. If I recall his attitude to company in the first episode, he explicitly states; "I work alone." and generally didn't leave much wiggle room on that statement until he decided otherwise.

Also, just any episode involving any of the justice ducks, the episode 'adopt-a-con', and 'You Sweat your life away', all do a pretty good job highlighting his inability to be around people.

I'd also reckon he's not particularly upset about his lack of friends. Many times had he shown that his job came first--and friends would just get in the way (that episode w/ fenton crackshell did wonders to explain that.)

But yeah, no friends for that guy lol

thinking a lot tonight about my favorite hickey interpretation which is that he is essentially a failed religious fanatic. to Me it is so much more compelling if he genuinely reveres the tuunbaq. he doesn't want to dominate it, he wants to worship it, or exist alongside it. he is deep in delusion and truly believes he has a genuine connection to it. he thinks that if he sacrifices the remaining men he has under his control to it, the tuunbaq will accept him as a follower. he has always believed himself separate to britain and its empire, an exception to its corruption. he believes that using the imperialist system to get away from the imperialist nation he hates makes him different than those who use the imperialist system to carry out explicitly imperialist endeavors. he thinks his past actions are inconsequential, thinks his resentment exempts him, thinks denouncing britain and allowing the tuunbaq to kill his crew will win him the respect and acceptance of this godly creature. but it doesn't. he isn't different. the pain he has caused for his personal pursuits is just as damaging as pain caused for grander, imperial pursuits, and is in fact the same thing. he is just as much a force of destruction as anyone else, just as much a target of the tuunbaq's rath as anyone else. perhaps more than anyone else. he lived his life hating britain, yet he still exhausted his endless quest for connection and purpose within the british framework before looking outside of it. he thought crozier saw things the way he did, recognized the same things he did, and he played the imperialist game as he saw it to be (abusing native people), attempting to chase that connection. but when crozier came up lacking and he came up brutalized, he stopped trying to find it there. he thinks instead that the tuunbaq sees him, recognizes he is different in a way crozier never did, can give him the soul bonded Purpose that he so deeply craves. he is genuinely mystified by it, sees it as so much larger and holier than anything britain has ever offered, and thinks it respects him the same way he respects it. tuunbaq killing him is much the same as crozier lashing him. he committed acts of violence to appeal to both of them, thinking it would win him their respect and admiration, only to end up as a subject of their violence in return, because he isn't what they want and he is never able to truly connect with people in the way he wants
