imo ran deserves better than shinichi and how he treats her But I don't think shinichi is necessarily in the wrong. like I both believe that if shinichi explains himself he can be understood and forgiven, AND that ran does not need to hear his side, she does not owe it to him.

regardless of whether or not shinichi fully explains his side and ran understands, it does not change the fact that shinichi did hurt her. she would be entirely valid in cutting him out of her life for that! if she did I don't think that's what shinichi deserves but I do believe it's what ran does, y'know?

their relationship is Not clear cut, black-and-white, this is what should happen. as a viewer I'm on shinichi's side but if I was one of ran's friends I'd say Dump His Ass!!! and I think both perspectives can and should coexist.

Ran is right hes a maniac. OUR maniac

I love how early detco has Shinichi casually doing super weird or dangerous things

Let’s lick this substance! Cocaine! (O_O;)

Hey inspector! Look at me hop across this 3 story drop from the fire escape to the balcony! (*^▽^*)

Don’t worry ran, I’m just chasing two suspicious individuals into a blind alley! This won’t have any lasting consequences for me at all! ٩( ᐛ )و

No wonder Kogoro is always kicking him out of crime scenes, he’s a danger to himself

OH EXACTLYYYYYY TAD MAY be the anime/manga/novel of century. I was underestimating it at first since the fancontents that's been onto my algorithm is so... Simple. In my country specifically, they only describe maomao as smart. And i thought of it as anime-styke smart characters that all they has is intelligence and its all their personality. But NO. Everything about TAD is beyond my expectations. It set my standard really high that i had a hard time consuming new animes

The apothecary diaries made me realize something very interesting about how women perceive power...

I can't be the only one who noticed that in stories written by women power is often compared to a prison or a cage meanwhile in the ones written by men it's mostly fun and freedom.

It is that women tend to see power as more of an responsibility and men think of it as the ability to do whatever they want?

The apothecary diaries made me think of it first. I discovered with surprise that I actually like the emperor, which I almost never do. Any guy that has relationship with more than one woman at once tends to disgust me, especially if he's in a position of power but for some reason not him.

Because the emperor is as much a prisoner as the 2000 women in the rear palace. Maybe even more because as long as he doesn't touch them, they're allowed to leave.

Like on one hand, he's the most powerful man in the empire. He calls the shots, right?

But on the other hand, he can't even properly protect Lishu from being sold to some pedofile by her father. The only way he could protect her was to make her his concubine and how f*cked up is that? She's like a daughter to him and the only way he could protect her was by marrying her? And then he couldn't even spend time with her anymore because that would be read wrong.

It's the fact that 3 of his children died because there was no proper medic to save them due to the fact that they don't allow non eunuchs to treat them and forbid women practicing medicine... when he doesn't even care about that. He hasn't blinked once at Maomao running around the inner palace and being a doctor.

At first when I was watching the story I thought of how horrible it was that he didn't even visit Lady Lihua after their son died. But then it made me think of how he's literally not allowed to get attached because of his position and how hard it is for him? The fact that he couldn't even provide enough support for Lady Ah-Duo so she doesn't lose her uterus? The fact that she switched their baby with his brother and he had to watch his son grow up "away" from him?

There's so much more to this, especially with Jinshis approach to power and I could go on an on but I think I made my point.

And when I started comparing the stories written by women to those by men... Women tend to write power as more of a burden than a gift.

After watching TAD I watched solo leveling.

And for those of you who don't know, it's basically a story about a guy who suddenly "discovers" that he's like a character in a game (not exactly but it's be too long to explain) and basically finds out that he has endless potential and over the course of the story he becomes the most powerful being in the entire universe.

And there's a moment where he's talking to his little sisters friend that gets very misread as something inappropriate by another character.

This other character points out, kindly, to Sung Jinwoo that the girl is a minor.

Sun Jinwoo doesn't understand so he just looks at him and asks "so?".

And so the guy immediately gets scared and never mentions it again despite the two of them being friends.

This moment is kind of played for laughs. Nothing actually happened, Sung Jinwoo is a good guy so he wouldn't.

But he could. Nobody could do anything to stop him.

And when I watched that I laughed too. But then I thought of how terrifying that is. To have someone be so above the law, this untouchable. Who can do anything he pleases because no one will ever stop him.

But that's never actually adressed in the show other than to show us how cool this is.

It this was written by Natsu Hyūga there'd probably be a million different situations to show us how fucked up this is and how it weighs on the main character.

In the apothecary diaries Jinshi doesn't even want to ask anything directly of Maomao because he doesn't want her to interpret it as an order.

You two were the highlight of this movie

[setcolder]

Me who is in love with Kaito/Shinichi because of the way they understand each other's situations better than anyone. Because their parallel runs so deep that my mind won't ever shut up about them. Because it's all about the double secret identity shenanigans.

Me who also think Shinichi/Ran is neat because of how much they care for and love each other. Because ‘childhood friends to lovers’ is forever one of my weakest.

Me who also enjoy Conan/Ai because of their dynamic and the way they act like a married couple with three kids (dub The Detective Boys). Because their mutual trust and partnership is something that gives me serotonin.

But also me with Shinichi/Sonoko because it's crack.

Kokomi knows Kusuo pretty well to be the only one with a reasonable guess on what he wants to be

"For most of my life, I've been preoccupied with wondering how certain experiences might feel. Now I have the opportunity to experience life like any other human"

Blame it on the author Au.

teruhashi's "he'd probably be sitting sullenly in the corner, but i still would have enjoyed having him here" is genuinely one of the most beautiful she's ever been in the series. saiki's response ("you're wrong; i'm smiling slightly right now") pales in comparison to the sheer honesty of her claim - that she knows saiki, and she enjoys his company. it's not "she enjoys his company despite his sullenness" or "he's bitter but she's got shit taste" or anything of that sort.

it is simply, so simply, that she enjoys his company. of course such a sentiment put a slight smile on saiki's otherwise stoic countenance. it approaches 'rolling your eyes (affectionate)' at someone, or something like that. it makes her beautiful to me because she can cherish this kind of trait in another person.
