#begin of summer 2024

Summer is BACK! And that means it’s time for ART PROMPTS YEAHHHHH! @5summersofstancest first prompt is “Love is Blind” and who was more emotionally blind than Ford?

So wrapped on in HIS hurt and how HE was wronged and HIS OWN self-righteousness that he completely forgot that maybe the reason he was so angry wasn’t really injustice but “oh yeah. I actually REALLY FUCKING LOVE Stan.”

He came around in the end. The dummy.

Truly surreal. The road to this point has been nothing short of outrageous; absurd and joyous, stupid and grave, sad and wondrous.

brother crab's summer 2024 parting thoughts: a bunch of stuff

i've been falling behind on jotting down my thoughts this season and if i don't do it fast i am 100% going to forget what i watched lol so here's a bunch at once

tasuuketsu:

YEAH. GOOD. PLEASE. LET IT BE OVER

unfortunately this isn't actually over but you know what it is? bad. it's bad. worst death game series in A While. there are some... maybe? faintly compelling ideas here? but the execution is just a mess. the cast lured me in but i should have been more discerning umu

what's worrying to me is it feels like it could have ended in ep9 but then propelled itself straight into an incredibly unnecessary second arc (i mean in fall fairness the first nine episodes were also unnecessary) and there's still no episode count on anilist. i pretty much never drop anything but if this somehow ends up being two cour i might bounce

it's so so so rare for me to not have something good to say about a series but... yeah. not good

boku no tsuma wa kanjou ga nai:

if i turn my brain off this is a pretty cute, funny, and fun show! i had my reservations at first but after a few episodes wound up enjoying it quite a bit

if i think about it even a little it becomes completely frustrating to me that this show doesn't get deeper into the psychological and moral aspects that could have been explored here, which isn't fair to the show because that's not really what it set out to be

to its credit, it does kind of get into that sort of thing. not too deep, but in ways that were reasonably satisfying to me. i guess my mehness comes from the fact that this premise would have been more interesting to me if it had been played as a psychological/existential horror instead of a romcom, but again that is not the fault of the show itself, it can be whatever it wants to be

and seriously, decent romcom! mamoru is especially adorable. just leave your brain at the door

shikanoko nokonoko koshitantan:

i will admit that no episode of this was as gut-bustingly hilarious as the first episode to me, like it came out the gate strong and maybe floundered a bit along the way

but overall i still enjoyed it immensely! i'm a fan of surreal, absurdist humor, and while i wouldn't say this is one of the best in the genre (there are definitely better) it was a fun ride

the girls were great and i'm also a huge fan of a) narrators who get to be funny little assholes too and b) toriumi kousuke so the narrator here was a double win for me

[transboysokka]

I’m saying this fully lightheartedly but tomorrow makes 6 months before my 30th birthday which is wild bc for YEARS I thought I’d be dead by 30 like it was just a gut feeling so PLEASE universe keep me extra safe these next six months….

My friends lovingly refer to my horrible horrible journeys from abroad to home as my Odyssey. And hell, they truly are, with over 5000 miles to cover on a budget you didn’t think would ever have the audacity to try such a feat. Welcome to @doonthestair’s personal Odyssey of summer 2024, featuring first going 1000 miles in the opposite direction of where I want to end up, absolutely no coherent sleep, a 33-hour train, and more. With this context, I now return you to your regularly scheduled vagueposting and shitposting.

Here comes the sun … flower 🤭

[ubike-official]

anyways summer is always such a time of rebirth and pain but growth and I've never had a painful summer that didn't propel me forward in some way shape or form. so it will all be fine!!!

pov: when i loved

two autumns passed since i last saw you and i still remember how i couldn't meet your eager gaze, how i mourned the loss i felt

"what was i to you?" words remained unsaid

everything i desired in you disgusts me now

yet, i ache to be the person who i was, when i loved you

i wonder did someone fill the void i left in you the one in me is all patched up

yet, the agony you gave me remains unmatched

one half of me hopes you feel hollowed out all the time even when summer strikes and the other half awaits your return

i curse you with a disappointed heart as the drops of rain fall

yet, when autumn arrives you will be my muse the ink to my paper

your words, i once adored will suffocate me now

and i will enjoy every second of the power your absence has over me

i say that i despise you but i want you here next to me

now, i know the pattern engraved it into my head

every season reminds me of you every person reminds me of you

now, i sit waiting for spring to arrive with the promise of forgetting you

but the pattern must continue and it does

June 2024 TBR

I cannot believe that we are in June. I only have 8 more days until we are on summer break. However, I am doing summer school for special education, so that will be another 20 days until I am officially on summer break. In addition, I did get into school. Starting in the fall, I will be taking classes to become a teacher. Right now there is a lot going on, however I am joining in with the SciFi…
