what if *I* was clinging to an idealized fantasy of our childhoods constructed from longing for the past and fear of growing up... and *you* were clinging to an idealized fantasy of our childhoods constructed from longing for the past and fear of growing up. and there was only one coffin 😳

you know the anime's good when all the women look glorious and the men in the next frame look like this

can't lie it does fuck me up deeply that in flashbacks touga's hair is already long while saionji's remains comparatively short and then you think about how touga in the movie reflects that he grew his hair out to please his adoptive father who was sa'ing him... and how in an interview about the movie it was stated that the sheer discrepancy between his normal life with nanami and saionji by day and being assaulted by his adoptive father by the night caused him to start dissociating... and that it was that very sense of distance and detachment he began projecting as a result of that which led to saionji beginning to feel inferior to and resentful of him...

i feel like 90% of people who talk about touga’s relationship with akio don’t give it the same acknowledgement of grooming that they do with akio’s female victims. ik the show itself focuses on it less, but to some extent i get it bc he’s not as significant of a character, and he himself doesn’t recognize the harm in it. but can the fandom not act like he’s in a normal consensual relationship with the adult man

i will defend that fictional teenage girl with my life. i literally don’t even care what she did. you would’ve done it too if you were her she’s probably handling things better than you would in her shoes

[totallynormalboy]

thinking about touga tossing saionji's exchange diary into the incinerator like mikage dumping one of his black rose corpses after they lose a duel. like akio breaking another sword on the gate and starting over again. ah well this one didnt work out we'll try it again next time. the cycle of using people as means to achieve a nebulous end and discarding them one after another. crazy. crazy

not to sound like a vampire but bride should not be a gendered word. anyone can be a bride. equality. ignore the blood on my shirt

If things are going bad in your life the most important thing you can do is fixate on a era of your life you can never return to. It is really important to romanticize it and remember it so incorrectly that it’s more of a false idol for worship than a memory. No one has ever successfully returned to the idealized past but you will be the first to succeed. You will succeed you simply must recreate a false and limping facsimile of who you were back then. You must ignore your beautiful opportunities to live your present life. It is important to unbury a peaceful corpse and climb inside it. I promise it will feel just as good as you remember.

never not thinking about scorpions as symbols of imperfect victimhood at least a little bit
