normal kids who like to have fun. having fun and chilling out together.
#hxh#hunter x hunter#khr#katekyo hitman reborn#gon freecss#takeshi yamamoto#my art#rewatching hxh for the first time since reading khr & their parallels are 👌👌👌👌 *mwah*#a couple more: no real explanation for their absurd natural strength & mental disturbances + a troublingly vibes-based approach to morality#+ they’re nice lovable boys :)

daigo's trust would've been a funny feature of yakuza 0 i think
#it wouldve been so cute pls i see the vision#taking daigo to karaoke and he throws a fit if you dont get above 90 in judgement#i can absolutely see daigo making absurd gambling demands#yakuza#walking around kamurocho in the same way with daigo as kiryu does with haruka later.....#the parallels between his two adopted children....#we couldn't get haruka's requests but there was another small demanding child in the game...

The way Cleo and Grian narrowly escaped through the nether after watching Etho go down, only to spend their last minutes separated and desperately trying to survive on their own... both died cornered and barely able to fight back in the very end
#like the visual parallels are absurd imo#they were both trapped in tiny cracks in the wall when they died#secret life spoilers#secret life#zombiecleo#grian#secret life cleo#secret life grian#secret life roomies

comparing elia martell to princess diana is kinda insane
cause the real princess diana of westeros was rhaegar
#lmao i’m sorry but i just saw the most cray cray post and i wanted to laugh#what did elia do for the common people? did they even like her? she’s loved in dorne but in the rest of westeros? she barely mentioned#the fact that diana created this approachable image & had so many charities under her belt is why she was so loved#rhaegar singing to the commoners == dany helping her sick subjects == diana shaking hands with people with aids#tbh charles and diana’s story should actually once again remind people that arranged marriages fucking suck for both individuals involved#i do not like charles at all but it’s not his fault that he didn’t love diana 🤷♀️#i’m just so suprised by the absurdity of trying to compare charles and camilla to rhaegar and lyanna#asoiaf fandom critical#anti elia stans#rhaegar targaryen#rip prince rhaegar the silver prince who’s still so beloved by the common folk 💔#im here to fight for rhaegar’s honor#i’ll call him the peoples prince 😂#asoiaf#to be serious for a sec: i hate these surface level takes. it completely strips the text of any nuance and context#this nuance and context is so important bc it is key to understanding the themes and underlying messages of the text#but instead people wanna compare aesthetics. which is fine and fun. but theres nothing in the text that even hints-#-that any of these characters can be directly paralleled to these modern royals.#my silver prince 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

Look he (Camus) is describing me 🥺
(And maybe too well, I sense impending doom of my own doing)
The Fall (Albert Camus)
#albert camus#the fall#Jean baptiste clamence#philosophy#absurdism#academia#it’s not always a good thing when you see yourself represented in literature#especially in the case of Camus#I’m still flattered though#hopefully the parallels end here#this book better not be prophesising my future

"For particularly important things, it's always more reassuring to write them down like this." - Zhang Beihai
[ID in alt text]
#my art#three body problem#3 body problem#zhang beihai#三体#章北海#i've been meaning to draw three body problem characters and actually post them on my blog for quite some time!#so if anybody wants me to draw any specific character from the series feel free to reply here or send an ask as a request!#beihai is my top favorite and he resonated with me more than i expected! i rather liked bits of consequentialist philosophical ideas in him#anyways incoming ramble/infodump in the tags about various subjects pertaining to him#all you need to know about me is that i often lurk in chinese language fandom spaces and you might see commonalities in designs#if you see fanartists draw him with the broken eyebrow and mole then that's due to the 我的三体 (my three-body) donghua adaptation!#admittedly i was introduced to the series through that adaptation years ago because it seemed rather absurd (minecraft haha) but oddly good#at least check out the third season (haven't seen the fourth one yet but that's ongoing actually) or listen to 夜航星 (night voyager)#i'm rather curious how fanartists on tumblr might tackle character designs since i mostly see the two live action adaptations here#i want to diverge my designs from any particular adaptation but my beihai design takes a lot from 我的三体!#now about beihai- i really enjoyed his characterization and i'd like to bring up a maybe unintentional parallel and foil with the eto#hopefully that's something new to add to the discussion about zhang beihai and here's what adaptations don't get about mike evans#in the book he's a character you mostly only hear about from others and he's known to be a private person#he conceals a lot of his thoughts from even people like ye wenjie + he taught the trisolarans about deceit#then his strategy to kill luo ji was to keep it low and make it seem like an accident which those obfuscations of thought parallels beihai#then evans says: “but… it's obvious now that everywhere is the same” which is similar to beihai's “it doesn't matter. it's all the same”#the contexts differ but i think they're good foils about human nature “being the same” with evans's quote being about futility#then beihai's was about how regardless of if he survived or not- someone else would be able to carry on with his work#i have many other thoughts about beihai like how chu yan's (captain of blue space) group approach with the voting contrasts beihai#while beihai tried to bear the weight of attacking the other ships in solitude- chu yan made vengeance against trisolaris a group effort#(which that action goes against how the swordholder was a solitary role instead of a group one which is neat to me!)#i'd discuss more but i think that's enough to show that i really love zhang beihai (feel free to discuss the books with me though)

The extremely literal approach to interpreting Crime and Punishment in the context of Fyodor's skill is making me gnaw my own leg. The relationship between the Eastern Orthodox eucharist in Crime and Punishment is also reflected in Fyodor's skill and isn't a particularly complicated analysis. It only requires a minimal, Sparks Notes-level of engagement, and y'all won't go beyond the title of the book.
Which, I suppose, is an improvement on the collective refusal to acknowledge bsd's references to the irl Great War, but I'm nevertheless. Tired.
#bsd#bungou stray dogs#bsd fyodor#sorry i dont mean to be rude or expect everyone to engage the same way as i do#but i thought it was just an unfunny joke at first and no i keep seeing that as an “oh that's why his skill is called that”#/“is like that in dead apple”#and i am in. pain.#but i have no idea what i expected from the “absurdism means war has no meaningful causes” fandom#ive had actual conversations in which people refused to acknowledge the irl parallels until they were confirmed as literal in canon#so that is the level of like. refusal to pattern recognize that we've reached i suppose.#i may cope by sending my high school english teachers emails to thank them. i appreciate them a lot.#especially my 11th grade teacher; she got me into slaughterhouse five based on my interest in catch 22#and was big into encouraging us to extrapolate lessons and parallels from stories

Same energy
#tbh I hate the painting and not just because the concept of regency is extremely absurd#but truly I am waiting for the pink ooze to start terrorizing england#the parallel of a British monarch literally haunting an object to perpetuate terror is a pretty fair analogy tho#charles is the new vigo#king charles iii#ghostbusters#ghostbusters 2

September 23, 1919: Cardinal Fabrizio Corruttini, during his dazzling performance on the Holy High Bar at the Vatican's Episcopal Games. After testing positive for communion wine, he was disqualified and stripped of all his titles.

Gushing about Gojo and Megumi and how they are or could have been everything to me I forgot to mention that I really really really love Yuuji. Like, a lot
#His attempt at reaching out to Sukuna‚ saving him and living with him#and how we see can see here and there moments in which he tries to reason with him from the very beginning#is one of my favorite things in JJK#It moves me a lot. It fits Yuuji a lot#But it fits the constant theme in JJK about how curses and people are not that different so much as well#Yuuji in the conditions of his existence looks at himself and then regards Sukuna#and the difference he sees is a faint line between them drawn out of merely being... lucky. Lucky enough to have someone supporting you#So he asks. Over and over. Let's try. Let's try again. This time it can be right. I know you could love flowers and haiku and company#I know you fear death. I will keep you company in life. Let's try again#But Sukuna owns it like Tirso de Molina's Don Juan does#I don't know. I love Itadori a lot#Their dynamic is truly something else. I wish it could be better#Damn I guess I just don't like shonen. The potential is amazing but damn why is it so unsatisfactory#Talking about best potential ever but unsatisfactory sorry to gush over Megumi and Gojo again#but the apparent parallel between them is arriving me off the wall#Megumi's mention to how it's the three of them reminded me of Gojo's similar comment to Ijichi and Shoko when he learnt Nanami had died#I live for these things. I wish there was enough to actually sustain me#I talk too much#I should probably delete this later#Also Gojo found her mother. She said she didn't care but he did. Just in case I suppose?#Perhaps to give her the chance if she did care after all. And I don't know. I don't know. I guess... This is it. This is why I love him#Despite everything he does care. And does take care of things. In his way. Uncouth. Weird. Irresponsibly. But he does#And Megumi laughs#Despite how his world crumbled he laughs. Because of something he wrote. Because of Gojo keeping his promise#In the worst most absurd Gojo way possible. But there he is. Taking care of it as he said he would. Telling him about it#And Megumi laughs. Because that's just so Gojo. Megumi laughs. And it's a sight to behold#And this is it. This is what Gojo could have been. What he was. But the glimpse of what could have been sooo deep when it comes to Megumi#And this is why I love him and them so much. And why the undeveloped potential breaks my ribs so severely#They could have been everything to me! They could have been everything at all! One of the dynamics ever!#Even if it had been nothing! Even in the nothingness! For the nothingness itself. Like the nothingness of this letter! Perfect example
