Honestly I think my cat has been eating too much at once and that's why he's throwing up a bit

Kes and B'Elanna should have had a whole episode together because Kes was alone with the Doctor for like 2 seconds before she said "You're very sensitive, aren't you?" /genuine /curious instead of responding to his irritation with irritation or impatience of her own and it immediately threw him off his game. Everyone else is like "The Doctor sucks" because they're looking at him as a tool that isn't working as they expect it to but Kes goes in already looking at him like a person - before he even thinks of himself that way. What I'm saying is, Kes would see past that "B'Elanna's Scary Klingon Temper" shit so quick. Also - I think she could have like a single conversation with Tom that makes him avoid her for a solid month. They didn't argue or anything, she just got too close to the heart of it all.

Holy shit, went into Takopi's original sin like, half expecting to like it? I fully expected the dark twist both from the kinda heavyhanded tone and a few YouTube comments I read on the trailer that had that classic "oh god the anime only watchers don't know what's coming" vibe to them

So I spent the whole first episode up to the climax expecting Takopi to snap, for the rule being broken to have some Eldritch consequences or for him to be trying to lure Shizuka into a Kyubey-esque "you never asked because you're a dumb child and now I own your soul!" Sort of deal. Been there done that, should be fun enough to watch for someone who regularly enjoys horror twists on 'childish' genres

And then I realized the horror isn't in the fact that Takopi's not genuine in his kindness. The horror is in the fact he means *exactly* what he says.

Takopi is hopelessly kind and almost can't comprehend the idea of cruelty at first. He knows what death and arguments are but comes from a world where everyone is somehow relatively well adjusted and doesn't fight (according to ep 1 remember I'm a beginner here). Whether that's actually true or not, I actually *believe* he thinks it is, which is so impressive in a time where "cute mascot in child whimsy show is secretly evil" is practically a whole genre on its own

At this point if they do a reveal of that sort where Takopi was secretly malicious, I'll actually be very disappointed because the scenario presented on its face is both way more interesting and way more sad to me because I pretty much am witnessing the death of innocence in real time from a really earnest being

tumblr is a beautiful website bc it's the only place you can make a post and then have someone rb it, restate everything you said as if it's a new idea, ultimately agree with your post, and then still somehow accuse the original post of being ableist

Drosera glanduligera seedlings from the seed bank seedlings are a few weeks old (as of January 2025); the seeds were collected in the field in 2008! The center image is a standard agar plate size (like 8 cm) - the seedlings are very small!!

my life has shrunk down to the approximate size of a rolled-up pill bug. sometimes when i speak to someone new — or see a particularly pretty sunset — it rolls out a little bit, stretches its little feet. but it remains roughly pill bug-sized

idec that this album is too long, she needed to write and get it all out and she DID !!!!! she couldn't stop writing and getting inspired !!! she kept creating!!!!! i find it inspiring idk and relatable!!! when you need to find a creative outlet for your pain and anger and anxiety and depression, you can create some pretty magnificent art. i just find it all so beautiful. i think it's a bit strange that people want to stifle that... the album is definitely long, you can't just sit back and listen to the full thing in one sitting everyday. it's okay to sit back and absorb everything, take your time with the songs. if someone is inspired and can't stop creating, why is that such a bad thing? why is it so wrong to have a long album that is BEAUTIFULLY and intricately written??? the more she creates and keeps writing i just... i'm just so so in awe of her i really am

[nikki-tine]

Oh not me getting over-excited to post more art-

aaaaa-

random thoughts about castaway diva, episode one

(read more because i always get carried away lol and this post might contain spoilers)

/!\ warning: this episode contains several scenes of physical ab*se so please proceed with precaution /!\

i like that they went for animation instead of showing the actors for the opening credits

looks like they’re explaining right off the bat how the main role has ended up in an island. I like that. No guessing or explaining it further down the line.

The nostalgia hit when i saw the folding phone. I was about to call it clip clap phone so be happy that i actually found an okay-ish adjective lol

This is so nice to start the drama with a throwback and get to know the characters and where they're from, instead of the other way around. It's just a matter of preference, i know.

Wow. I didn't expect the two leads to have an ab*sive father in common. Both of their lives shattered because of the violence. Both too scared to do anything about it. They're trying to hide it from the world.

It's interesting how both choose to hide that aspect of their lives in two completely different ways. Ki ho is acting cold and indifferent, while Mok ha is always smiling and confident. I'm curious if they'll ever admit that to the other, and how they will get out of this situation. Hopefully they'll get the support they both deserve.

Mok ha finally had the courage to call the police on her dad. Good for her!!!

The most disturbing part of this though is that one of the police officers is none other than ki ho's dad. An ab*sive father himself.

I see that ki ho's father is extremely manipulative and is calling mok ha calling the police on her dad the "eighth grader" syndrome, saying it'll pass soon and trying to make everyone watching from the window think there was a "happy ending" (for lack of a better word). Just like everyone thinks he and his son (ki ho) are a great pair. This is absolutely vile and making my blood boil.

We're only in episode one and we already have so much content regarding mok ha and ki ho's relationship.

The roles suddenly got reversed. Ki ho was fighting for mok ha's dream while mok ha just abandoned all hope "thanks" to the police visiting her after her call. It's heartbreaking to see how children's hopes and dreams can be broken just like that.

Ki ho is twice as disappointed because he witnessed his father breaking another child's life. He didn't dare do anything when he saw his father with mok ha. And now he's seeing the consequences right in front of him. The burden of it all. It must be heavy on his heart.

I'm sorry but i have to pause every five minutes because this episode has given me too many emotions and I can't handle all of them at once.

Correction: I have to pause every five seconds is more like it.

The scene where she's breaking down because her classmates aren't listening to her is impactful. It's all the stress, fear and hurt talking. Reminds her how the police didn't believe her and pretended this was "just a little accident" and let it go. And now, her classmates are doing their own thing and ignoring her. That is until she literally shouts at them. Mok ha has been silenced too many times, with no one to talk to. She needs help but every time she tries to make the first time, she's shut down almost immediately.

"Do I sound like a joke to you?" - Mok Ha. The trauma of the police intervention that didn't solve the problem. She feels like she's a joke and no one will ever take her seriously, no matter how hard she tries to tell her own story.

And on top of that, she just abandoned her life long dream of becoming a singer. The only way she could show her real voice.

Poor Mok ha and poor Ki ho

It's crazy how they seemed like polar opposites at first, but then you see them being so deeply connected. Ki ho literally cries with her.

At last, ki ho is finally making the first step to help mok ha. He'll help her leave the place where they leave. It's crazy to think that the only person willing to help mok ha is a child. No adult has ever helped her, even the adults that are supposedly competent. The only person taking her seriously is ki ho, because he's also a victim of ab*se.

This episode should be called EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!!!

the way ki ho is sacrificing himself for mok ha. If both can't escape from their ab*sive fathers, he's willing to stay in cheonsam for mok ha. He wants her to pursue her dream career. If she succeeds, he'll vicariously live through her. He'd be proud of himself for helping her escape.

I was rooting for mok ha to finally be free from her father, only for him to follow her on the boat.

Seeing ki ho being completely devastated because he couldn't help mok ha no matter how hard he tried has made me cry as well.

Tin cans? In a deserted island? Really?

I was skeptical about the whole surviving alone in a deserted island because how can a literal child survive in such an isolate land with basically no knowledge? I'm a bit thrown off. I would have understood better if she met people in the island. They better show how she survived because this is making absolutely no sense.

I really hope they show us more of mok ha's "surviving alone in a deserted island" life because i'd be disappointed otherwise. I don't expect a whole episode dedicated to it but a bit more explanation would be appreciated.

The actors that played mok ha and ki ho as children deserve an oscar. Give it to them. RIGHT NOW

I'm giving this a solid 9.5/10
