When Sei’s voice broke on Hagiwara’s shoulder thats when I knew he was more in love, deeper in it than perhaps even Hagiwara himself.

I have watched the fifth episode four times, and I'm probably going to watch it at least a million more times before Thursday, yet I'm still so happy each time I watch it that it's a kiss that is Sei's undoing.

He was being cold and matter-of-fact previous to this, and even when Hagiwara held him with all his emotions on display after asking him not to leave, Sei didn't move.

But once Hagiwara started kissing his neck, Sei actually seemed shocked that Hagiwara was kissing him again.

They didn't kiss on the lips during sex, but Hagiwara kissed him on his neck though.

And it's that teeny tiny reminder of affection that makes Sei unravel. He finally surrenders and presses his face into Hagiwara's shoulder as he breaks down and asks "What now?" because what does he do now that he knows something better is out there? What does he do now that he has had sex with a man who has a girlfriend who he planned to marry? What does he do now that he has fallen in love?!

The plan was to keep this a secret and not destroy their lives. The plan was to have sex and move on.

BUT THEY ARE ALREADY IN LOVE!

So Sei is begging for an answer to what they should do now that they both know what they are feeling and want more.

And Hagiwara, the beautiful man that he is, only has one response.

TO FUCKING KISS SEI ON THE LIPS!

And only AFTER he softly kisses Sei does Hagiwara confess that they must be crazy for wanting more.

And even though Sei agrees, he doesn't move away.

SO HAGIWARA KISSES HIM HARDER!

And Sei is the happiest he has been!

The damn kisses are what cause Sei to come apart. The kisses make him finally react to Hagiwara's touch each time. The kisses are what make him cry into Hagiwara's shoulder. The kisses are what make him happy! So he knows exactly how Hagiwara feels because he feels it too!

And let the record show that Sei NEVER said he didn't feel the same way. He reminded Hagiwara of their agreement. He told Hagiwara to calm down. But he never once said he didn't feel the same.

So Sei better turn around and tell my boy that he doesn't love him and the soft way he kisses him.

He better look my boy in the eyes when he tells him they should go their separate ways.

Sei better face my boy when he decides to lie to him!

The Justice League, on their way back from a deep space mission that was incredibly successful, received a distress signal from a galaxy they’re passing through.

As they investigate, they learn that a colony of a planet has been wiped out. Completely.

Slowly they piece together that there is some being out there that had been terrorizing planets, starting with colonies and then eventually going after larger settlements and home planets.

The League also learns they are not the first people to learn of this foe, or try to come up with a solution to stop them.

The colony they are inspecting has researchers on it that had fled or escaped from other planets where they piled together all they knew about their enemy, and in an attempt to sift through the mountains of data they had collected, created a device.

If a person was connected to the device, they would mentally experience the number of years required to process the data and come up with an attack plan in seconds. What the researchers had needed was time, so they created it.

As the League pieces this together, Superman sees that there is a being approaching the remnants of the colony and the defense system alerts the “remaining colonists” of the imminent threat. Their failsafe boots up and takes the nearest person, in this case, Batman, who had been studying some of its programming, and activates.

The rest of the team didn’t have a chance to react before Batman blinks and is in motion, setting up machines and dictating code without lifting a finger.

There is no fight, because after the two seconds Bruce was in the machine he was a flurry of motion and the enemy was contained.

They ask him how long had passed for him in the machine. It takes him a full minute to respond.

“150 years.”

RrrRRAA! That Beta in the Dark art is so AWESOME.

I was on my phone. In the dark. And I swear to Christ, zoomed in so much of the border is gone (tryna see details) making the photo darker, and THE EYES MOVED WHEN I MOVED MY PHONE. It’s that whole “shake your phone gently” optical illusion and it’s AWESOME.

Sorry to be intense, it took me by surprise and was so amazingly awesome and cool and I had to tell you! You should try it! It’s so cool, it’s like he’s searching! He’s watching.

WOAAAH?? I didn't know it did that, I just tried it and it's crazy!

Also thank you so much for that observation and I'm glad you like the art! <3

Still fascinated by how much hate Mitsi gets for the whole "dead fem-coded loved one backstory" thing and all the hangups surrounding that when Purple's mom is arguably a much more egregious instance of the thing everyone is upset about Mitsi for but she ultimately got a pass because...idk, she was The First?

I'm re-watching Lego: Nexo Knights

And, they really did Jestro dirty.

They had him perform after Merlok(and I know Merlok set up a 'surprise attack' to test the Knights and show off a little but still man)

I to would be a nervous wreck if I had to perform after a literal sorcerer.

Jestro, is clearly hesitant about using the Book of Monsters(BoM), but because his self-esteem is so low, he's lured into it.

And whenever we see his story play out, the guys just, so sad, it's clear he isn't totally convinced this is what he wants, being evil, but the BoM picks at his insecurities, and words things on such a way Jestro just goes with it.

Like straight up, the BoM and Jestro have a toxic relationship, and it's all at Jestros' expense.

And don't get me started on his relationship with Clay, iwbzjsjsj

I love them

Clay just never giving up on his friend and always giving him the benefit of the doubt. And Jestro's main concern when the BoM was first trying convince him to summon a monster was Clay.

I can't, my sweet, sweet, boiz

Jestro deserves all the kindness and I could never hate him.

Same with Clay, Clay is the Dad/Mom friend we all need.

[Brief] Thoughts on Film Theory's Analysis

I was gonna post this on my priv twt.. but moots convinced me to post it here so here we are.. beware of spoilers, gore, bla bla bla ..

FIRST OFF I'm gonna start by saying, I AM ESL. I may or may not have misinterpreted some of his words, but this is mainly how I thought of his analysis. This is not meant to be ill-guided or rude ! so sorry if it comes off as this way. I will be very repetitive.

Another thing, most if not all of the information matpat gave out i alr discussed with a few mutuals on discord about a few months back so this is not new territory to me 😭😭 I thought most folks would already knew the concept of how the brain deteriorates overtime But honestly, that indisposition shouldn’t even apply to omni man??? matpat tried to compare an immortal Viltrumite's psychology to that of an aging human's, which can be misguided.

Let's start by how he compares Nolan's brain to the average aging human's brain so the audience could understand his psyche more and how empathy declines overtime. First and foremost, Nolan is not a human, second; Nolan wasn't raised with empathy or around an empathetic environment - it was an alien concept to his race. Something frowned upon. He was raised from birth to conquer and destroy without remorse. His brain never developed those neural pathways for empathy in the first place. It's not that they deteriorated over time, they were never even formed.

By the time he came to Earth, all this familial stuff was new to him. Sure, he knew he was gonna outlive them, but He didn't think he'd get attached. HE didn't process that he'd grieve over them when the time came.

Interacting with humanity for the first time ignited unfamiliar emotions in Nolan that he didn’t know how to process.

His time living amongst humans caused conflicting feelings he’d never experienced in his centuries of systematic slaughter. Loving Debbie and Mark went against everything he was taught, but he couldn't help it. For once, the lives he was manipulating to further Viltrum’s goals meant something to him. He developed a [what he presumed, NOT what he felt about them in reality, his love for them is far more profound than he assumed it to be which we later on see in the last ep of s1 and the second season] petty facsimile of love for his ersatz family.

So no, his capacity for empathy didn't decline with age as MatPat claims. His empathy was stunted from the start. An underdeveloped skill, not a deteriorated one. We had characters like Debbie to help him understand those notions, help him grow it. With Mark in the mix? it only amplified that development.

Viltrumites are societally and culturally predisposed to violence and domination. Nolan was never accustomed to forming emotional connections or grieving loss. Those were entirely new experiences for him after arriving on Earth. He was not jaded. he was grown into jamais vu in viltrum.

This is why the whole conflict in s1 happened, he was treading between double lives he wasn't sure of. He was conflicted because his past values were refuting with his new experiences. He found love on Earth, he found himself unable to accept how he'd lose Debbie. Of How jaded Mark might become. Everything he said to Mark till that point was his own self-projections, his own fears, doubts.

While the video did provide some interesting facts about neuroscience and aging, the application of those facts to Nolan's character was inaccurate. IT is educational for those who don't know, but it isn't recent news that the brain begins to deteriorate overtime so this video wasn't that informative which kinda disappointed me. Their analysis lacked alot of information about the Viltrumite race and Nolan's character. Comparing him to humans with normal life experiences just doesn't work. His immortal nature combined with a lack of empathy from birth created a psychology unlike anything seen on Earth.

SORRY FOR RANTING ALOT AND OR IF IT SEEMS LIKE I'M GIVING MATPAT SHIT ... i really liked their analysis on immortal so i'll give them that. Immortal, unlike Nolan, was born human. He has lived among humanity for over 3000 years, inhabiting different identities of public and devoted historians. Because of this, his psyche developed quite differently. Immortal knows how to form connections, experience loss, and adapt to social changes. His perpetual existence didn't harden his heart like Viltrum's brutal culture did to Nolan. Instead, Immortal's immortality allowed his empathy and compassion to blossom.

Humans are social creatures. Our brains have evolved to seek out interpersonal relationships, crave affection, and find meaning in community. For an immortal like Immortal, social interaction is vital to staving off boredom, depression and detachment from humanity.

By inhabiting mortal lives, he stays tethered to the human experience. He continues learning, growing, and developing empathy.

This is why he's devastated when the guardians die.

This is also why he goes fucking mental and tries to kill Omni-man.

If Immortal had lived in isolation all this time, unable to connect with people, his psyche would likely resemble Nolan's more closely. Without social interaction, Immortal's brain would atrophy in ways that preclude complex emotions and moral reasoning. His sense of purpose would fade, achievements would lose meaning, and life itself might feel pointless. By engaging with humanity, Immortal gives his endless existence purpose and direction. He finds value in each temporary life, so loss still impacts him deeply. Socializing keeps his emotions and cognition flexible, which prevents the apathy and hardness of heart seen in Nolan. Nolan never had these opportunities in his early years, this is why it's more difficult for him to stray away from his indoctrination. It's that he's unused to it, underdeveloped.

60 years to Nolan would've been a year and a half, so what's 20 measly years on Earth for him? Yes, he found profound connections in that little speck of time, but Immortal's emotional capacity is far more extensive.

In summary, Comparing Nolan to a human, whether mortal or immortal, is kinda inaccurate. His Viltrumite psyche rules out him from possessing JADED human qualities. You could say he's desensitized to violence sure, but no.. unfortunately.. he does not have [boomer] brain. He has [indoctrinated alien-fascist brain]

Leave your own thoughts down below or through reblogs, I'm really interested on what others may think of this! (URGHHHNN... my hcs r slipping away from my fingers cuz now people r gonna accept what matpat says as truth.. someone gun me down from the hills..)

guys I need help, I was just trying to get down my thoughts about will’s s5 arc and accidentally wrote a five page script about the themes of stranger things

[eydilily]

oh my god whoever asked me to make a tango - skz playlist i owe u my life but also this is going to take me 1290392013 years to decide

[wereh0gz]

A take I've seen a couple times is that Sonic is supposed to be fairy-like and like an embodiment of good itself, not a character who should feel "human" (as human as anthro hedgehogs can get ig)

And like. I'm sorry but that's a really boring interpretation of his character that diminishes a lot of his most appealing traits imo

Bc one of his biggest appeals for me is that he's flawed. And it's not a question whether he is or isn't, he IS flawed in canon

You CAN say that Sonic is more "fairy-like" in the earlier classic era, but by the time the modern era rolls around (pun not intended) he started to shift to a more shonen protag-esque character, with a side of late 90's early 2000's cool radical attitude (that part starts to mellow out as the games progress but he'll always have a little bit of that specific kind of cool factor in my eyes)

But, like I said, he's flawed. He's impulsive and reckless, and can sometimes be just as selfish as he is selfless. He does what he believes is right, no matter what others think and even if he's actually in the wrong. And sometimes, rarely, he lets his emotions get the better of him. He also has a disregard for authority, and can be pretty rude and sometimes a bit arrogant, too

The only reason he's considered a hero is bc in spite of his flaws, he's still kind at heart (and, usually, what he believes is right still aligns with what is considered good). He doesn't even consider himself a hero, that's a title mostly put on him by other people. He doesn't think of himself as anything special, just "a guy who loves adventure"

THAT'S what's appealing to me about Sonic. He's just a guy. He's a person, idealized as he may be, who still has flaws and still makes mistakes, but is generally still really fucking cool. I think humanizing him a little more by exploring his flaws isn't a bad thing either and makes for more interesting stories

Anyway, I don't think Sonic could be described as an embodiment of good itself. Hell he'd probably tell you to cut it out if you told him that to his face (he's got an ego but he's not THAT bad). He'd say something like "I just do what I gotta do, that's all" before moving on to kick Eggman's ass again, or something

That's just my take, anyway

saw spy x family: code white yesterday and i have a lot of (very positive) thoughts about loid forger and the forger family in general.

!!! spoilers beneath the cut !!!

OUHHH the trailer/clips posted before the movie was released worldwide did loid so dirty. that scene of him caressing that women’s leg and “”kissing”” fiona. like woah where was his PR team. he was getting dragged left and right.

just had to get that out of my system bc i will be loid forger’s lawyer in the rest of this post.

i think the most notable moment of the movie was when sylvia told loid that someone else would be taking over operation strix. instead of him being relieved, he was upset.

mind you, operation strix is a long-term mission and is extremely stressful for him. being tasked to appear as a perfect family man when he grew up without one? almost impossible. on top of that, he has a ton of side missions he has to take on during operation strix. so, you would think being told that operation strix has ended would relieve a lot of his stress, but it added more.

i think the best part (different from the most notable) of the movie is that the reason why twilight didn’t want operation strix to end is never directly answered.

sure, it could be that he was finally in a (somewhat) stable place with a semi-permanent home he could come back to everyday which made his job a lot more convenient, but the movie never shows that. in fact, it shows the opposite; that he wanted to continue operation strix to keep his pretend family for selfish reasons.

for once in probably decades, twilight did not worry about anyone but himself (and his family). he was more focused on prolonging operation strix because he hadn’t lived a happy & stable life in so long. twilight doing something for his own happiness is unheard of ,, so i love seeing the subtle growth he’s experienced since creating the forger family.

OH and don’t even get me STARTED on the ferris wheel scene with him and yor. you can tell when he goes into ‘agent twilight mode’ to smooth things over with yor, but that moment in the ferris wheel was genuine.

he was already afraid that sylvia would take him away from his “”pretend”” family, so hearing yor doubt her skills as a wife/mother then finding out that she thought he was seeing someone else was what broke him. i believe that entire scene was not twilight talking, but was loid forger. maybe he believed that if he could smooth things over with yor and go back to presenting as a normal & loving family, that operation strix could countinue. at the least, maybe him, yor, anya, and bond could stay together.

AND when anya ended up not even getting a stella and he had to rework his WHOLEEEE plan in order to appeal to the vice principal’s taste instead of the principal’s, he didn’t even feel upset.

he had spent so much time and energy to make sure they had all the ingredients for the perfect meremere and went through so much trouble to make sure she had even the slightest chance of receiving that stella. yet, when anya came home without a stella and the plans for who would judge the pastries changed, he didn’t even budge. he just looked forward to spending another day with his family. if the old loid forger was put in this same situation, he would’ve passed out or had a heart attack.

(i have so many other things i could talk about like the way in a few scene, an object divides loid from yor + anya but at the end of the movie that divide is broken but i’ll save that for another day)

so today, i proclaim that loid forger will no longer be referred to as loid “for the mission” forger, but shall henceforth be referred to as loid “the official family-man” forger.

I know that a strong argument could be made that Makoto was the one who wrote and planted that note on the criminal's corpse in the meat bun factory. You could even reasonably think that he could've been sprinkling lies during the mystery labyrinth in order to make his arguments seem more sound.

But let's talk under the context of a world that's run by a singular overreaching government that was canonically not above corruption and inhumane experimentation for the military.

This is a world where the death penalty exists. And Number One/Yuma was the guy in charge of the organization that apparently convicts them.

Even though Makoto was the one giving orders to send criminals to Kanai Ward under the identity of Number One, and was somehow doing it without the real Number One's knowledge, it's clear that Makoto would simply not have the means to leave Kanai Ward and go around capturing criminals himself. He had to have the cooperation of the WDO and law enforcement in some way with capturing them and sending them to him.

Not only that, but even if he did stealthily pretend to be Number One in order to do all this, that still means that Number One had the power to send criminals straight to a death sentence with no trial. This doesn't necessarily mean that Number One himself actually ever exercised that power or not, but he did have it.

But maybe with the small pieces of implications that we get about Number One, I think I can kind of guess how he used to feel about this subject. And if we know anything for sure about the former Number One at all, it's the fact that he didn't feel anything outside his end goal.
