I think that Edwin and Charles can be 'better friends' after Edwin's confession partly due to the fact it was something playing on Edwin's mind and creating distance between them but also it's possibly Edwin's first moment of true vulnerability in front of Charles that he is putting himself in. (so hell doesn't count)
He still snaps at him a bit that he's being serious but everything in this scene is made to make him look vulnerable and powerless. The staging puts him below Charles as he's behind him on the stairs so Charles is looking down at him. He's wearing thin pale clothes, just one layer compared to Charles with his jacket and backpack there's a clear contrast. And Edwin's chosen to confess on the stairs to hell, it would be worst case scenario but if Charles had rejected him harshly he easily could have turned and left Edwin there. (obviously he would never but it's about the fact that he could of, Edwin gave him that power)
That whole scene is so contrasting to the rest of the show. Edwin is bossy and likes to take control on cases and as much as Charles isn't a push over, he seems happy to follow Edwin's lead half the time. So here where Charles has all the power, he's the one making the decision, it's a huge moment. We know Edwin is so put together and in control as a coping mechanism after having no control for decades so him giving all of that up in this moment, his voice breaking, blood stained and baring his heart, it's another layer to how vulnerable he's willing to get, just how much he wants Charles to know he loves him and how important and true it is.
And now they're 'better friends' because they're more equal again. Charles has many vulnerable moments throughout this season, some Edwin was there for and some not. They both had huge journeys to go on but Edwin was hiding everything happening to him away whereas Charles wasn't able to. Edwin in this moment knocking down all of those walls and showing Charles he wasn't untouchable, he was just like him is huge in getting their relationship back on track if not leaving them even closer than before.
I'm loving Dungeon Meshi's mix of quasi-probable speculative magical biology and "It's magic fuck you."
Red dragons swallow their prey whole and use the undigestible remains as fuel for their fire breath, which is lit by creating a spark with their tongue. Living armors are colonies of mollusks who expand and contract to mimic muscle movement. Actually "man-eating" plants is a misnomer, they catch small animals with a filament that retracts when touched and they use their decomposing prey as compost.
These mushrooms can turn you into a gnome. It's magic fuck you.
do you ever just … picture a whole scene, a whole fanfiction in your head, you know how to place every single word of the english dictionary that you need (or your language dictionary), you know how to structure your sentences, you know just what your characters are going to say to each other and then… and then you just open microsoft word.
being on Tumblr is like playing a violin in a concert hall for thousands of people and a few of them clap, then honking a kazoo to amuse your 2 friends AND SUDDENLY YOU HAVE 20K NOTES
obsessed with the way that Lisa Frankenstein answers the question of “how will Lisa overcome her trauma” not with “by putting her morbid tendencies aside and rejoining society as a normal girl” but having her relive it as the perpetrator instead and being rewarded with a messy codependent husband
watching doctor who is just “wow, the doctor is a deeply flawed individual but their desire to help people is so strong that they’ll go against their own rules and destroy themselves in the process aaaaaaaaand now they’re licking parts of the spaceship okay then”
