i was looking for 'hikaru's 'idk :(' moments in hgsn and i realized its rarely there besides kinda the above pages until vol 4. i really think yoshiki ended this arc in vol 2 with "i'll have to teach him." and then proceeded to not really teach him anything or even question hikaru again, lol

by volume 3, yoshiki's stabbing hikaru bc he's given up after hikaru fucking up again😭 the events between "i'll have to teach him" and "let's look into it", yoshiki really just hangs out with hikaru (but now knowing he isnt the original hikaru) and assumes accepting him as a friend and letting him take out a hostile ghost or two solves the initial problem of hikaru not entirely having the same perspective of humans.

only hikaru putting an effort in to stabilize yoshiki's mental state in return for earlier gets yoshiki back to actually trying to think about the problem with hikaru's support

i know people are joking he's also currently avoiding thinking abt other events going on (dead guy on news, the fate of the old guy) and i think thats similar, lol. yoshiki's not fully able to handle it all with just him and hikaru. he goes from "i'll have to teach him" after laughing off smth hikaru did that he didnt like to "lets look into it" after establishing boundaries. i think he's definitely developing in that regard, and maybe more if other characters aid them..?

me when i remember that gojo never hated geto even once and never stopped seeing him as a best friend even after he killed him. me when gojo’s only regret was not having geto there to support him before his final battle. me when im satoru gojo and i choose to love one single person for the rest of my life

jesus fucking christ shelf this under "we don't have time to unpack all that"

i noticed this during the sex scene with lae'zel, that she essentially treats your body as a tool for her own pleasure (iirc, she specifically says "i may make use of you again" or something to that effect)

i obv think that's part of her own trauma & githyanki culture as a whole: she sees herself as a tool for vlaakith to use, so she treats other people the same, especially at this point in her arc where she's only been with the party a short time. she's using the party for their martial ability so that she can get to the creche and be purified, she's using herself as a weapon, & others for her sexual pleasure and that's just. normal. to her. she has no concept of identity or understanding that other people don't/shouldn't see themselves as tools to be used. it's not until later in the story that she starts to discover and explore her desires beyond what vlaakith demands of her.

anyway, i think it's very interesting that lae'zel & astarion have both been dehumanized (for lack of a better word) in different ways and that when you smash them together it ends up being the most toxic combination possible. for astarion sex is indicative of a loss of identity & control, it's something he does against his will bc it's the only way he knows how to force intimacy. for lae'zel, if anything sex is the opposite, it's one of the only acts she can perform that's just for her and not for the purpose of serving vlaakith, it's the only time she can be anything but a blade.

and it's tragic that neither of them is able to (at this point in the story) 1) recognize the harm that their own self-image is causing both themselves & others 2) conceptualize that their partner is having an entirely different internal experience than they are--astarion assumes lae'zel views sex as a transaction, he's giving her his body in order to secure protection + safety, & lae'zel assumes astarion is using her body as a tool for his pleasure just as she's using his.

anyway, this is a throwaway line and i don't think it ever gets brought up again but YIKES

I was wondering if there are any rare happy ritsu moments in ur zombie au since hes always miserable I think,, like is he always miserable or is he happy/not miserable and feeling kinda good sometimes?

VWHDGDGD NO YEAH OFC HE'S HAPPY SOMETIMES im just horrible and enjoy putting him through misery

ive never been able to get a genuine smile to look right on his face in my art style either i think thats part of it. as ive said his face is just built to be mildly uncomfortable and bothered and i lean into it sm it's starting to get kinda funny

but yes ritsu is happy plenty! i think, canonically, he just seems like the type of person to me that tends to turn lemonade back into lemons. he's easy to scare and his first reaction to things is often Dread and Anxiety. he dwells on the negatives a lot and seems to be a "hope for the best, expect the worst," kinda guy, but there's a section in this post abt shigeo always loving the little things in life, and ritsu steadily learns throughout the journey on how to do that and how healing it can rly be. even if he had to grow up too fast during this whole thing and learn things a kid should never have to, the journey also gave him some good insight and lessons in other places! ritsu is smart, he figures it all out

in terms of little things here n there he's the happiest lil guy on the planet when he finds one of his favorite foods—swings his legs while he sits and munches on a kitkat bar like he's got absolutely nothin in the world to worry abt. sometimes mob does smth funny that he laughs at; for the longest time i've had this silly image in my head of mob accidentally knocking down a bucket from a store shelf and it lands on his head and he just kinda stands there and makes noises.when the noises continue out of pure curiosity about the weird echoey quality it's giving them ritsu cannot help but lose it

besides tiny things tho, when tome comes around ritsu in general is a lot happier, just cuz he has somebody to talk to that will actually respond in some way. they're sorta reluctant partners in crime at first (at least on ritsu's end) but over time and over bonding they grow to rly like each other's presence. they bicker constantly but it's almost always fond eventually, and they shove each other and playfight until mob gets antsy enough to get worked up about it. rly, tome is a godsend to ritsu's mental health—after months and months of being effectively alone with his thoughts, he finally has another person to converse with. a person His Age, too!

tome is rly good at knowing when ritsu is thinkin himself into oblivion and she's Also rly good at being the most annoying girl on the planet to yank him outta that and replace any misery with Oh My God Get Off Me You Freak. she doesn't even do this on purpose at first, but over time she learns how to tell when he's thinking too hard and, ofc, she's grown attached and she cares, so she's as obnoxious as possible to lighten the mood

when they find reigen n teru, ritsu gradually gets Much happier still. now that he knows they're safe and the gang is finally back together (and now that there's an Adult present and he can relax a lil and let himself be taken care of) his stress levels r exponentially lowered. having teru back is another instant lift to his mood—im always a big fan of teru and ritsu friendship, and i think adding tome to their dynamic simply makes it more chaotic. truly a trio of the 3 most normal teenagers in existence which will surely bring nothing but good (reigen sweats offscreen)

actually this makes me feel bad for forever torturing him im gonna go draw happy zau ritsus brb ,.,.ok imback <3

[makotonaegiunderstander]

do you ever go do autism crazy for something you can feel it in ur chest. like it’s hard to breathe almost it’s making you gasp for breath and jump around physically. got an adrenaline rush thinking abt Kirigiri.

[bylertruther]

do you ever think about the fact that throughout the entirety of stranger things we’ve always seen mike practically shout his love for will from the rooftops by throwing his everything into believing, protecting, and helping will no matter the stakes, and how a majority of byler moments are initiated by him, and how will has always loved him back quietly despite being the one canonically confirmed to be in love, and how will is almost always on the viewer’s right in iconic byler moments but in season four we find him on the left in what used to be mike’s spot because their “roles” have switched AND when we’re taken out of the viewer’s pov and put in jonathan’s pov we see jonathan Come To A Realization here because while mike has always made it clear how special will is to him and how different their relationship is, will has always managed to keep the true depth of his feelings a little closer to his chest and it’s only when he publicly takes up that support role that mike has played for him previously that the audience is purposely made to realize, too, how romantic it truly is, because coming from mike everyone might have thought it was his usual overzealous theatrics but when the same tenderness and earnest love comes from will they realize oh. this is... this is actually something more. this is how they are this is mike and will like nothing has changed and no time has passed but it’s now that we realize just what it is, and now that will is starting to slowly but surely come out from this curtain he’s hid behind his whole life and voice that yes he loves mike of course he does he’s always loved him and loves him in precisely the way that mike expresses he needs to be loved there is simply NO conceivable way that they can come out of this hellish slow burn miscommunication trope not in full acknowledgement and eager acceptance of this love they have for each other and have always had and always will !!!!!!!!

[trainingdummyrabbit]

wait limbusposting again. really really funny having a (knowingly incorrect) preconceived notion of dante like 'oh yeah theyre silly and cool but i havent seen much talk abt em i guess they dont have much going for them yet?' and then looking at c5 and 'Oh This Motherfucker Is Going To Destroy Me.'

[pastelllemons]

would it b a hot take 2 say kel would forgive sunny last if at all

[pinkseas]

smth abt not being inherently against sexualizing adult characters just in general in the slightest VS how many people do it Wrong

[daz4i]

i get the whole self fulfilling prophecy thing about not getting better but aren't people scared. to fail at getting better i mean. i find it easier to not hope for a chance bc i know from experience it hurts more when you don't expect it
