law and luffy are so fun bc the fundamental basis of their relationship is that they were both there for each other in one of their most isolated, life changing moments of grief, and they’re the only reason the other survived it. they may not necessarily know all that much about each other, but they do know parts of each other that not even the closest members of their crew (their family) know now. like obviously by the end of dressrosa law sees and understands the reason luffy’s crew follows him, but I think a less obvious truth is that when law saves him luffy sees and understands the reason law’s crew follows him. I just think about luffy’s instinctive faith and trust in law on punk hazard; he looks at law and understands that as much as he pretends not to be law is fundamentally the person who saved him before he is anything else. and I think they both kinda struggle to categorize the specific and unique way in which they are important to each other (although admittedly luffy stops caring to much much sooner LOL), bc it IS different than their relationships with their crew or their family. not necessarily any more or less meaningful, just different. and idk i guess i just think it’s all very sweet, in the end, that they managed to find each other like this.

There's just something so fucking great about the concept of characters like Zeke Banks and Peter Strahm having this complicated relationship to serial killers while having such a strong urge for justice and finding the truth???

Specifically, I love to think about how in the middle of their games of cat and mouse, or at those moments they inevitably share as they sharpen their knowledge on each other and get close enough to bump, when their intentions get a lot more nuanced as they insist on combing through them later again and again... that connection and obsession shoves everything else to second place. Seeing one another tunnels their vision, and their actions will follow rules made on the spot.

But then the world keeps on turning around them when they leave the crime scene with blood on their shirts and a gun that may or may not have been pointed but never used, piles of mangled bodies from 'collaborative traps' and distorted audios calling the remains of another horror story a chance for 'redemption' never stop being found; survivors slam doors in their faces when they come for statements and sob their hearts out at their closed off support meetings— suddenly, it's their place to show remorse, perform the respect and compassion that's lacking in their lovers... and how it impacts them to carry that burden they, against their own better judgement and all good reasoning, carry because they only give this much of a tangible fuck when they're put face to face with that damage.

It's just breathtaking, to wonder how ignorance is bliss and they cover themselves in it for the sake of something they want so badly. The guilt that comes when the blanket slips right off, yanked back by their lovers. Maybe even by themselves, punishment for their own broken vows. Weakness.

the reason why bejeweled feels very calvin to me still is how it parallels high infidelity. in general, the 3am tracks seem to explore a darker, more explicit side of a storyline that’s already present, if only in the form of subtext (like we don’t have a direct parallel for wcs, but we do have two songs exploring formative past relationships vaguely sexually, and wcs is the darker example), on the main album, and bejeweled/high infidelity is perhaps the best example of this. its similarities to tolerate it, which is about something she felt ‘at one point in her life,’ back this up. HOWEVER, I do think it’s exploring a potential outcome of the then-current state of her relationship with joe. like, this is how things could go - I have forgotten that I have a man in the past, and I can do it again.

I just rewatched a bunch of Supercorp fanvids and now my brain is rotting so hard from dormant feelings rising. I forgot how much they owned my heart. How did they inadvertently create the most heart-shattering, beautiful, romantic storyline featuring actors with the most palpable on screen chemistry I- 😭

[waffliesinyoface]

it kills me that orochimaru is the main villain for like. SO LONG. but anko is a perpetual side character. 

"well, isn’t that what fanfiction is for” look, my opinions on anko in fanfiction are many and varied. mostly because the character named anko who shows up in fanfiction, is not, in fact, this character.

You know, I genuinely think Isshin is a really interesting character, especially as far as “shounen dads” go. He’s set up just the same as all of them, dead wife, secret involvement with all the supernatural shit his kids eventually get dragged into, but the big difference with him is he genuinely… tried?

Like don’t get me wrong, he was a horrible parent and absolutely kind of sucked with the way he did parent his kids, especially Ichigo. But you can’t deny that he genuinely loved Ichigo, Karin, and Yuzu. Keeping them in the dark and telling them nothing was kind of the best he could do, not just for giving them a normal life, but trying to keep them safe regarding their Quincy heritage (again, especially Ichigo considering Aizen wanted to use him for experiments)

Like I dunno! Should he have told his kids everything? Yeah probably, he definitely should have once Ichigo met Rukia and shouldn’t have let him run around and not really ever check up on him, but for the most part, he tried to do right by them, and didn’t just fuck off into oblivion once his wife died which is such a common trope

You know it interests me greatly how a rarepair ship like Ruan Mei/Jingliu (two people in HSR who canonically haven't met yet) can appeal to me but the one popular crack ship in my old fandom did absolutely nothing.

ok so actually the mc here is NOT a starter, but that weavile at the end. based on a run of platinum i did one time where i replaced my starter with a sneasel. the reason being. god ik this is kinda blasphemy coming from a sinnoh fan. but im so burnt out on all the starters. i've used them too much. i'm at the point i switch em out on replays, im not attached to any of them anymore. I was gonna have infernape but there's just so many other pokemon i'd prefer to have on here over it.

no idea what the theme for the sinnoh adaptation is... probably existentialism? what makes someone "valuable"? (trick question: nothing cause everyone has value regardless) I dunno
