various medieval English rulers in a grocery store
I have ingested nyquil so I am doing this
Alfred the Great: buys just enough canned food and duct tape to the point where you’re not overly concerned but you are pretty sure he’s a doomsday prepper
Aethelflaed: fills three carts with snack cakes, those church basement paper cups, and generic brand soda because no one can negotiate a surrender on an empty stomach
Athelstan: that is far too much coffee 
Aethelred the Unready: just buying every single item on his wife’s list. This is the fourth store he’s been to because Emma is very specific.
Cnut: only came here for all his Special Haircare Products
William the Conqueror: fills up a cart and just leaves without paying. just fucking books it to the parking lot I hate him
Matilda: comes in with three rowdy boys, tells them to not ask for ANYTHING, buys an armload of 5-hour energies, leaves with two rowdy boys
Henry II: walks around the store eating a bag of grapes he has not bought while Eleanor does the actual shopping
Richard I: will find a way to talk about his study abroad last year with the deli guy if it kills him. Is also texting his mom to ask what groceries he needs to buy because he has no idea
John: verbally berating everyone in customer service because they won’t let him return a dented can of peas that expired 7 years ago
Edward I: tries to use a 24 year old coupon to buy lentils in bulk (he doesn’t even like lentils?) and knocks over an elaborate pepsi display in a fit of rage 
Edward II: has his card declined and demands to know why the cashier had to be so loud about it
Edward III: says “guess it’s FREE THEN HAHAHA!!!” when an item doesn’t scan right away. several items do not scan. Gets a veteran’s discount.
Richard II: that’s uhhh… a lot of advil there buddy 
Henry V: also has his card declined but drops the “DO YOU KNOW WHO MY FATHER IS” line, is dressed like lucky luciano 
Henry VI: begins to panic when Margaret leaves him in line for two minutes because she forgot eggs. the line is moving quickly…so quickly
Edward IV: he has one cart filled with wine. Elizabeth Woodville has another filled with kid cuisines. 
Henry VII: pulls out the fattest binder you have ever seen and it’s filled with coupons. His transactions usually take 2 hours and he tsks the entire time. 
Henry VIII: buys bags of charcoal and dog food just so he can pick them all up and be like “yeah this isn’t even heavy to me I don’t even feel it” also buys condoms and laughs nervously 
Edward VI: literally just buying root vegetables even though he’s 9 because he is so weird
Mary I: just coming in for her weekly supply of “praying for you” cards, always gives exact change thank you mary 
Elizabeth I (if these even count as medieval anymore): no longer allowed to do her own shopping after the sweet n low incident. Now a personal shopper gets her groceries for her. it is robert dudley

The Iranian Regime is going to execute rapper Toomaj Salehi for supporting protests of Jina Amini’s murder by the regime in his songs.
Iranian activist Elica Le Bon says, “Iranians in the diaspora picked up on the fact that the regime tends not to execute people who become known to the international community. We have seen many examples of prisoners that were either released on bail or had their sentences commuted through our “say their names to save their lives” campaign on social media, using hashtags to garner attention for their causes, and even before social media existed, through getting the stories of political prisoners to international media outlets. Once reported on, and once the eyes shift to the regime and the reality of its pending brutality, realizing that the action is not worth the repercussions, we have seen them back down and not execute. For that reason, this is part of an urgent campaign for readers to talk about Toomaj as much as you can, using the hashtag #FreeToomaj or #ToomajSalehi. Every comment makes a difference, and if we were wrong, what did we lose by trying?”

Can’t believe you’re the only other person on here going insane over whisper of the heart’s discussion of perfectionism and self doubt. I literally never felt more seen than in the film, only to think i was losing it when nobody on here was talking about it
Yes! I am SHOCKED it’s not more popular! I assume it’s because it’s lacking some of the more fantastical elements other Ghibli movies have? (I mean they made a whole sequel dedicated to the anthropomorphic cat bc audiences loved those parts so much :’)) Kiki’s Delivery Service gets a lot of (deserved) credit for its depiction of perfectionism and burnout but I think the mundanity of WOTH is what makes it REALLY hit for me. You have this character living in a very grounded, concrete world spending most of her days bouncing between school and her family’s cramped apartment and she’s trying to inject some whimsy into her life by believing in fate and fairytales and her dreams of being a writer but as she’s getting older she can’t escape the sinking feeling that these are just distractions from a life that will never live up to her expectations so when she finds the antique store, a real place that feels a little bit magic, she clings to it and the inspiration it brings her, some part of her believing that this is the key to escaping an ordinary life—just to have her parents tell her that taking the path less traveled comes with unique struggles and for Seiji’s grandpa to break it to her that writing is a long, arduous process BUT!! the need to revise is all part of the process and NOT an indication that she lacks talent or potential. 😩😮‍💨. The part that gets me the most is when she can’t STAND to be in the same room as the person reading her draft and when he tells her he’s finished she starts listing off all the flaws she sees in it herself because doing that feels like protecting yourself from the embarrassment of someone thinking you’re proud of your imperfect work. (But even then, hearing the actual critique feels devastating because there was some part of you that hoped you’d accidentally stumbled into greatness.) And you already saw my post about the whole gem metaphor and fearing that you’re lacking some inherent ability to be great/creative when the reality is that the people you admire also had an imperfect start!! It’s just so good…

The many digressions in Les Mis create the impression of lying in bed watching YouTube where you're listening to Jean Valjean's story, and then that video ends and the Next Up is a video essay titled " You won't believe life in this CULT".
Also, your watch history so far includes "Total War: Napoleon - Battle of Waterloo Gameplay Walkthrough MAX difficulty" and "Top 50 things that happened in 1817" and "Real Investigations: How this inspector cracked a cold case with LOGIC".

Hey. Sorachi.
Flipping through the Beam Sabe-ryu arc again and
Are you doing this on purpose, or am I just seeing things
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"I'll bring him back, I promise" Gintoki & "I'll be back soon" Shouyou. The way Shinpachi tells Gintoki that it's okay, and 'don't you disappear too' and 'waver together with us' (things Katsura and Takasugi never told him?). "Take care of everyone for me" - Yoshida Shouyou & Obi Hajime.
The presence of pine trees in the Shimura yard.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Challenger.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Definitive Slash
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Final Match: Shin(pachi) & Shin(suke)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Unsheathing the soul from their chest?
Sorachi. You did this on purpose didn't you.
Also:
Tumblr media
The repeated Pillar motif (& child Shouyou being tied to it) makes me side-eye this 'Gintoki resting against a pillar and being told to take care of people for someone else yet again' panel.
Especially because the gravestones are square pillars literally at the end of this arc. The Terminal = The Grave.

While not immediately obvious, this attack ends up playing a major part of Oar's defeat, and it's foreshadowed in his character design. Within the next couple of chapters it will be revealed that Oars froze to death, and that his shoulder still is damaged from frostbite (and now a lightning skeleton shooting through it). The rotted off skin and exposed muscle shows that Dr. Hogback didn't have the time or inclination to patch up that part of his body, and it ends up biting Moriah in the ass.
