Thinking of an alternate universe where feyd lives after the fight between him and paul and paul decides to keep him. the POSSIBILITIES. I can imagine him as a guard dog, cloaked in shadow, always walking a step behind Paul. It's easy to forget that Paul has all the power over him sometimes; they respect each other, they practice duelling together, and when Paul doesn't want to do dirty work, all he has to do is snap his fingers and feyd comes. Paul knows what he needs. He knows he needs pain and shame and he gives it to him. Feyd getting called to his throne room, getting punished and hurt and reveling in it. Paul not having to worry about his betrayal because he knows that feyd is happy to get kicked. feyd dropping to his knees whenever he sees him no matter who's watching because he needs it

Paul: *kills Baron Harkonnen with no mercy*

Feyd-Rautha: Oh wow, that was hot!

Feyd-Rautha to Paul few seconds later trying to flirt: So, you know… I’m sort of family killer myself!

My favorite Feypaul fics is when the Bene Gesserit’s “breeding program” is too successful to where Paul and Feyd actually fall in love with each other and become a dangerous power couple

ID: Zuko on the left and sokka on the right. From avatar, the last air bender from the waist up and aged up. They have their back turned to the viewer and are facing each other so only their profile is visible. They are looking lovingly into each other's eyes. sokka is resting his left arm on zukos shoulder, holding zukos jaw. His index fingers brushing underneath a cut up hair strand. zuko holds with his right hand on sokkas back. His left hand is placed over sokkas wrist, holding a bracelet made out of zukos cut off hair between his two fingers. End ID

i regrett not making zukos robe seethrough again. but... uhm.... i didn't mean to make this complicated again?

I don't think he exists anymore. He died about the same time as your father.

I'm so deep in my Our Dining Table Bullshit that I'm not sure I'll ever come out of it.

There was

So

Much

SILENCE

Seriously, the pauses in this episode were pregnant with twins.

There was always just enough silence for Yutaka to think but not speak and just enough silence for Minoru to spiral deeper in his fears about making Yutaka uncomfortable and interrupting whatever words Yutaka would ever possibly try to say. For those who have read the manga, the way that Minoru is so scared about making Yutaka uncomfortable, so scared about ruining this safety that he has built with Yutaka (thanks to @isaksbestpillow for ruining me with that translation in her subs), so scared about losing all this warmth and fullness that Minoru has finally been able to feel after losing his mother that he tries to break his own heart is such a phenomenal set up to the parallel we will have with Yutaka's fears later on. Minoru tries to distance himself from the potential heartbreak that comes with Yutaka's silence. He tries to break his own heart while the wound would not be too deep, where the relationship they had in maybe salvageable.

And the only thing Yutaka ever says to Minoru this entire episode is "Minoru?" and "No, I'm fine," And he is fine, he is completely fine, but even though Minoru is looking at Yutaka, he is so caught up in his fears about everything he has possibly just lost because he couldn't contain himself. Because he altered their relationship by kissing Yutaka that MINORU. CAN'T. SEE. IT.

When Minoru says "I wasn't going to tell you any of this. I knew you would be uncomfortable" he can't see all the words that are spinning around Yutaka's head when Yutaka inhales. He can't see Yutaka fail to find the words he needs to say, fail to figure out where he needs to start in all of this, and he fails to see that with Yutaka's exhale, Yutaka is giving up everything he wants to say.

Minoru is so focused on getting that last touch of their hands, so busy promising Yutaka this is the last time they will ever touch, so then they can be friends, and they can go back to how it was, and Yutaka won't have to feel uncomfortable knowing that Minoru likes him, THAT HE FAILS TO SEE HOW MUCH YUTAKA'S THUMB IS TWITCHING.

gif also by @laowen

Yutaka wants to reciprocate physical touch, physical intimacy with Minoru so badly. But Yutaka has to process everything. Yutaka is a) in shock and b) having so much trouble figuring out what he wants to say, what he needs to say, that he can say nothing. Minoru says he wants to go back to the way they were before, and so Yutaka's thumb will twitch with the impulse to stroke Minoru's hand but it will not make contact with Minoru's flesh.

And god

God

GODDDDDDD

I need someone to gif the moment that Minoru pulls his hand away because there was a millisecond of time where Yutaka reaches back out like he's going to try to take back Minoru's hand and he STOPS HIMSELF. And I have not stopped thinking about it. I have not stopped thinking about it.

FOLKS, I HAVE NOT STOPPED TALKING ABOUT IT. LIKE LITERALLY @waitmyturtles AND @lurkingshan AND THE REST OF THE ENTIRE CLOWN SERVER HAVE HAD TO HEAR WAYYYYY TOO MUCH ABOUT THIS STUPID FUCKING SHOW, AND YUTAKA'S STUPID FUCKING HANDS, AND EPISODE 8'S STUPID FUCKING GODDAMN PIECE OF SHIT PREGNANT FUCKING PAUSES.

Our dining table lost in translation

Just a little something that I think has been lost in the Gaga translation because I saw people refer to the girl in episode 5 as Minoru's university friend or a girl with a crush on Minoru.

From the Japanese script it's pretty clear the girl is Minoru's ex-girlfriend and she initiated the breakup but the subs fail to fully convey that.

This is the Gaga translation: I shouldn't be the one to say it. But all this time, you've been important to me.

This is the original Japanese: 私が言うのもあれだけど、今でも穣は大切な人だから (Watashi ga iu no mo are dakedo, ima demo Minoru wa taisetsuna hito dakara)

My translation: This may sound weird coming from me, but you're still important to me.

It's also pretty evident Tane isn't familiar with the girl from the way Minoru refers to her as kono oneechan/this big sister instead of Nao-oneechan. Nao the ex-girlfriend is a visitor from a past where Minoru's life didn't yet revolve around taking care of Tane. She's without a doubt one of the people Minoru means in episode 2 when he says "I often have to cancel plans at the last minute. I know it's not my fault but most people aren't that understanding."

Minoru and Nao were ordinary students going out. Then Minoru's mom died, Minoru became Tane's guardian, and Nao withdrew herself while she still could. This has made Minoru wary and resigned to no one wanting him because Tane and him come as a package deal. It's like trying to date as a single mom except you're 23 and people your age don't yet have that maturity or responsibility.

It's no wonder then that Minoru looks at Yutaka with Tane like he's looking at a small miracle. To care about Tane is to care about Minoru. And to Yutaka, whether he realises it or not, to care about Tane is to heal himself, the small boy who didn't get the love he deserved.
