CASTIEL: Stop. What's the point if you don't mean it? You fear me - not love, not respect, just fear.

i can only ship vash and wolfwood with each other and this is because vash, in his entire life, is only ever living just for the sake of living and seeing the next day and moving forward for that one year he spends with rem. after that vash starts living out of obligation. he owes it to rem to protect humans, he owes it to humans to defeat knives. in every moment we see vash in the manga he is trudging towards this goal that he views as his responsibility. he loves so dearly and he forms all these beautiful connections along the way... but it isn't until wolfwood that vash really thinks, i want to see tomorrow with this person, just for the sake of it. that is so significant for vash who does so much out of that sense of needing to. with wolfwood he just wanted it. and then he loses him and enters the fight with legato and legato can see that he's just done. the man that wolfwood was to vash... it keeps me up at night

I do agree with all the stuff you said in your body language post about aventurine, but there was an instance in 2.3 where he was standing right next to boothill when you meet with him and boothill, and obviously boothill isn't close to aventurine at all. Do you think this is an exception just because they were in the same room together and devs had to make them stand together so trailblazer could converse w/ them both?

I think it's just because they're not actually in the same room together.

In 2.3, Aventurine showed up only as a hologram. He's probably in his own room alone, actually. And I'm not sure that he could walk away as hologram, even if he wanted to. 😂

That said, it isn't that he never has any up-close conversations; it's just that he has way less of them than other characters do.

As another aside, I also think that Boothill is the kind of person who would absolutely go "The heck you tryin' to talk to me from the other side of the room for?!" And he would just walk right up on Aventurine with zero hesitation.

The space bubble does not exist for him lolol.

Vampire bats establish bonds by sharing regurgitated blood, un-self-aware cannibals are much the same.

This damn comic is fucking A N C I E N T but as far as like, the content of it- not necessarily the art because I always hate my older art, but the presentation, what is objectively here- still feels right to me, so I'm sharing it. again

knowing i should take a step back from tumblr for my own wellbeing vs. being emotionally attached to this app and the people on it

i fully support rhaena claiming sheepstealer but i so badly want to write a fic where she and nettles both exist. nettles rides sheepstealer and rhaena rides grey ghost and they meet and bond over their wild dragons and fly together and fall in love

An explicit proshipper followed me right after seeing my post, (I assume since it is a recent post but it might be just me gnawing on negative stuff).

taking this international asexual day to say that crowley and aziraphale from good omens are asexual and would never have sex thank you and goodnight

This episode basically delivered on everything it built up with Liko and Amethio so far and more, I'm really looking forward to their future development.. It's been so satisfying to watch.

As I once more spend an hour editing a clip and typing out my thoughts on approximately 50 seconds of a scene, I have to ask myself, “Would it be easier to just read out my notes as a voice over to the full episode?” Absolutely not. Editing that would be a damned nightmare given all I wish to observe and take note of. (And my laptop.... might just kill me in retaliation for that processing nightmare.)

If anyone wonders why I keep calling myself insane, it's behavior like this. Like, I'm having a blast here making these notes and I have no plans of stopping until I hit the end of the episode, but I am also aware that, you know, who in their right mind would do this? Cut an episode into clips to type up all of their thoughts? Me!!! :3c (as Shirley Jackson said “No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality.” Not only is that one of the best opening lines in all of literature, but my god is it an evergreen observation.)

Anyways! I'm only 10 minutes into the episode and giggling at my old Amok Time posts. I thought I was being in-depth then. Lmao and lol. Rofl, even.

That post about guilt and shame only being effective as deterrents but not in inspiring anyone to change their behavior in any meaningful way got me thinking about those other posts about progressive circles consisting way too much of people not with a desire to do something right but instead with a fear of doing something wrong, and...

Yeah. Those two are related. Guilt and shame are the weapons of the status quo, designed to instill in everyone with a conscience a fear of failure, of hurting others, of being a bad person. And it's pretty fucked up when people are being shamed for that, since, well, shame doesn't inspire any meaningful change. So the problem persists, deepens, even. Since by shaming someone for not getting over that shame, you've now discouraged them from thinking about that instilled shame and maybe finding a solution.

It's shame and guilt all the way down. Perhaps shame and guilt could be used against people who tend to shame and guilt others in order to shame and guilt them out of shaming and guilting others? I don't know. And that's a true shame.
