Tag Game: Scenes I will never forget

Rules: Share 5-10 scenes you can't forget. Not your favorites, the ones that got stuck in your brain for any reason.

Let's start by saying that I absolutely ADORE this prompt. Because I definitely get scenes stuck in my head. I'm much more likely to rewatch specific scenes than whole episodes or shows.

My personal guidelines:

Only QL - let's keep it simple

Cannot be currently airing or a very recent watch because that doesn't prove it'll stick

I am eliminating My Personal Weatherman, My Beautiful Man, and When it Rains It Pours. Just assume that every scene from those three shows is imprinted into my brain on a permanent basis.

For ease, I am just going to think of a category and then go with the FIRST scene that pops into my brain. No overthinking allowed. That means these will probably not be favorites, but they are obviously in my brain for SOME reason.

The First Scene I Thought Of When I Got Tagged

At 25:00 in Akasaka

Hayama collapsing to the ground in relief after chasing after Yuki and realizing the reason he had left. There had been such a great build up of emotional tension, that his collapse felt like a release.

Scene That Made Me Laugh

HIStory 4: Close to You

"You want to gossip? Fine. I'll give you something to gossip about." I laugh every time.

Scene That Prompted Me to Watch The Show

I Feel You Linger In the Air

Surely I don't need to explain this choice. I saw the olive oil clip after the emoji game and binged the show shortly thereafter. The scene holds up even in the context of the show. And the show itself is beautiful.

Scene That Gave Me Big Feels

Kiseki: Dear to Me

The montage showing all of the birthdays that represents Ai Di's feelings and pain over the years, but also Chen Yi's realization that he caused that pain.

Scene That Gets Personal

I Hear the Sunspot

I've talked about this scene before. I know Kohei's pain and frustration here when you know something was said/important and people refuse to repeat themselves. It basically feels like you're not worth the effort, and it sucks. Even worse is if someone says it in a demeaning way (Taichi did not). To be clear, I also understand Taichi not wanting to repeat himself. It was a painful memory. But I love that Kohei threw Taichi's words back to him and that Taichi did end up repeating himself. For the record, I'm not Kohei. Even with a loved one, I'm not going to ask you twice. (Note: Read sassy spite into that last line not some morose depressed vibe.)

Spicy Scene

Lost in Translation

It's bookcase adjacent, and...the only thing I actually remember from this show. Lol.

Scene That Is Hard to Describe

Color Rush

I'm cheating on this one, because the two scenes go hand in hand.

I've never felt like I did a good job describing this show or the scenes in it. But this is about the one who sees in grey teaching the other about his world followed by the one who sees in color teaching about his. It reminds me of the book Flatland (which is on my blog header). How do you describe something to someone who has no framework for that experience? I think this entire show is an awesome representation of so many societal issues including the effort required to understand people with vastly different experiences.

Scene With A Fit That Kills

Don't Say No

I did say I was going with the first scene that came to mind, and it was this one. Yeah...I really love that red suit. I WANT that red suit.

But I am not sure I want the attention that would come with wearing it anywhere.

Scene That Comforts Me

Keita Hatsukoi

I've definitely talked about this scene at some point before too. I don't understand my emotions easily, and I end up talking myself out of them the majority of the time. But there was a time, when I thought my world was going to fall apart that I kept saying "it's not a big deal" in my head and this scene kept popping into my brain. It was comforting and made me feel it was okay to reach out to someone with a very casual "so this happened". The first thing they said "Are you ok? That's a big deal". Oddly comforting.

Scene That Makes Me Go "Awww"

The On1y One

Ok. I just realized this ended up very similar to Big Feels. I meant for it to be like a "aww how sweet" fluffy moment, and this is what popped into my brain. Apparently my brain is hardwired for the pain rather than the fluff. I mean...it's sweet. Right? 😭😭😭

Scene That Made Me Go "Relationship Goals"

Every You, Every Me

So much about this pair I love in general, but I really appreciate the open way they talk about sex. So much sex positivity in this arc.

Ok. I've already thought about several other categories, but...I just went back and counted. I'm already at 11. Oops. Lol.

This was SO much fun just thinking about scenes. I loved it. 💖

I see him sometimes.

same AU as this

[badninken]

Here we see Doctor Trafalgar Law use the verbal method of checking for signs of life.

Zoro's arm is right there! He's literally begging to have his pulse checked, but Law's like "nah, I'm off the clock."

That's why he later leaves Sanji in charge of fixing Zoro's demolished skeleton. He's setting boundaries to maintain a healthy work/life balance. Please respect that.

its been a very productive day!

Crocodile is low-key obsessed with manners like he tells Vivi he didn't expect a princess to be so foulmouthed (he's caused a civil war) and he gets mad at Sanji for being rude over the phone (while he's threatening him) All his employees' codenames start with Mr. or Miss. He's even trained his deadly attack crocodiles to queue nicely for their food!

been working all day, have some Bois!

[lucabyte]

So does anybody else ever think about how Loop felt the need to demonstrate that the party's deaths wouldn't have any effect on the loops. I know I do but that's besides the point. Anyway I don't think Loop actually needs to bathe, they just like to feel included.

won't you dance with this devil?

inspired by this collab:

[eshithepetty]

"Haha Dream BBQ is so random and incomprehensible" "did they take drugs to make this lol" "you're actually not meant to understand anything in this series it's ok" "Joel G just makes up stuff on the spot based on what would be funny" "it's just random for random's sake" "is this AI" "stop theorising, it's not that deep" SHUT UPPPPPPPPPP
