one of the worst feelings is when u prepare food for everyone and then serve it to them, and it’s so clear that no one likes the food. it’s like a slap to the face, it’s just the worst.
izuku holding his hand out to katsuki? all these hand moments? for it to never happen and for the manga to end? when i was so sure of getting this moment?
But! We got katsuki extending his hand! so in a way, there's a win!
Those who inherited the curse of the Zen'in family... The one who couldn't fully leave behind that curse... They would all bear witness to the bare flesh of the one who is free...
To the one who left it all behind and his overwhelming intensity!

Fluctuations, Part 2, "揺蕩-弐-"
Love how in “Quest for Lost Powers” Cole learns the value of family, Kai accepts he can’t do everything himself, Zane heals from trauma, and Jay’s just like, “My mother probably had a good reason to abandon me.” Love that. Totally not anything else you could’ve done with Jay.
No monetary incentive, just writing in one's free time. Some incentive for like kudos and comments, because who doesn't want to hear that someone else enjoyed what they wrote. Just writing a story that is good and/or enjoyable, no real-life pressure to keep it going because god forbid you and other people are depending on it financially.
Writing a story because you want to write a good story, so you can write what they want the way you want, at a pace that is realistic for you, with exactly the plot pacing you want there to be.
“The idea of the title ['Starburster'] is about embracing the necessary delusion in terms of how to function [in everyday life]. I imagine it as a world within a snow globe, that you can slip into like a warm bath, but within that world is all the madness and the hysteria. It's about embracing that.”
“This album is about my fascination with falling in love at the end of the world: the album is about protecting that tiny flame. The bigger armageddon looms, the more precious it becomes.”
“We’ve always had this sense of idealism and romance. Each album gets further away from observing that through the lens of Ireland, as directly as ‘Dogrel‘. The second album is about that detachment, and the third is about Irishness dislocated in the diaspora. Now we look to where and what else there is to be romantic about.”
Ok so i might be a little nit picky here but am I the only one who wished for Hunter to had been a tad bit more emotional? Like we saw this man on the edge of his sanity and all we got was a "hey kid" and a hug. Don't get me wrong, Hunter finally hugged Omega but if you compare Wreckers hug to Hunters hug it kinda falls flat. Like wrecker cried and did the little "readjust and deepen the hug" thing while Hunter just like hug. Dunno I had wished for something more after he had tears in his eyes at the end of season two, didn't see the kid he considered his daughter for month and was shown to clearly was obsessed with finding her. I know Hunter isn't the most emotional but come on
Thoughts on Gege bringing back Nobara 5 chapters before the ending.
Man...that sure is a thing that happened. I don't even know how to feel about it. Technically, it's good. I like Yuuji and Nobara team-ups and appreciate the callback to their fight against Mahito. Nobara gets to contribute to the fight against the final villain (even if it's just one hit). But at the same time the exact thing I worried would happen if Nobara came back this late happened. Her being "confirmed" dead in ch 265 by Yuuji thinking about her and all the other loved ones he saw die felt weird, but this isn't any better. She literally came back at the last possible moment. Fell out of the hospital bed and immediately went over to do her thing against Sukuna. They sure are lucky she didn't wake up half an hour later and appears to have no side effects from having been in a coma and transfigured by Mahito.
The timing is just way off. We got two very emotional chapters where both Yuuji and Megumi showed immense personal growth and Megumi just regained his will to live and fight back. Only for Nobara to come in like "lmao why the long faces guys xD" (which only Utahime and Gakuganji are there to hear, who I assume really couldn't care less). This just didn't feel like the right place or time to pull that moment. Yuuji's reveal that he was alive happened in a low-stakes situation where jokes are to be expected and he also did it right in front of the people who mattered. It was set up as comedic. He didn't butt into an emotional moment.
And then there's the problem that Nobara has just been far left behind by the story at this point. She has no personal involvement with Sukuna. Sure, she wants to protect her friends from him, but that is nothing compared to the relationship Yuuji and Megumi have with him. They are all three deeply connected and Nobara is an outsider here. I don't think Nobara and Sukuna ever even met. Kusakabe is more connected to Sukuna than her. There isn't much she contributes in terms of themes, world building or powers either. And there's no time anymore for all that to get established because Sukuna will likely die/be sealed next chapter or the one after and the whole series ends in 4 chapters.
Maybe the next chapter will tie the tonal whiplash between last chapter and this one better together, but that doesn't change the fact that Nobara's character is too underdeveloped to have much of an impact at this point. It still feels like she's simply there to complete the trio and Gege doesn't quite know what to do with her.
I'm giggling so much why is this show so serious.... why is it so muted and has dramatic blackscreen transitions.... it's been 10 minutes and we are still in that "I am gonna die and you will too" vibe
