As much as I dislike Darkseid as a Justice League villain I actually do think normal people should be able to beat Darkseid. Like no I don’t think Batman should be able to shoot Darkseid because he’s ~just that smart~ but I do think that having the embodiment of fascism, the ultimate fascist leader be brought down by regular people is good actually. I absolutely eat any Fourth World story where regular people on Apokolips rebel against Darkseid up like a starving dog. If any of the Just Some Guys on the Justice League should get a hit in on Darkseid it should be Green Arrow because he’s a leftist and he should do it with the power of a bow with a sticker on it that reads This Machine Kills Fascists. Darkseid beats down Earth’s mightiest heroes only to get a rock thrown at him by some punk with an antifa patch and an old Jewish woman shoots him in the face with a shotgun. Orion is the only one who can take down Darkseid in 1v1 combat but by god I believe that the opportunity should only arise when regular fucking people have already kicked his ass in every way that matters, destroyed his regime and spit on his statues. Fascism is only as powerful as we let it be. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

anyway just thinking abt how zenitsu DOES want to help people but he can't. The whole time you cant help but feel that hes sort of helpless - even when he does help people he cant even know because of the whole sleeping thing. And the fact that he couldnt stop kaigaku from becoming a demon and at least be there for kuwajima...so from his perspective, at least, he doesnt even know he's capable of doing good things...but in the end he;s able to be there for tanjiro when he turns into a demon and helps him. Its a collective effort and the help of everyone in that fight was important (i want to talk abt that at some point in another post maybe) but for it to be the last fight for zenitsu is really important i think because it really shows that he's able to swallow his fear and make a difference (and know about it) for the people he cares about. The final thing that he ends up doing in the span of the series is helping tanjiro un-demonify, not killing an enemy, but actually helping the people he cares about, the thing he had wanted to do the whole time.

Had a dream that ep 49 of don resolved all plot threads and basically recuperated the new nouto generals completely by getting them all to read harukas new manga, but also because of that the teaser for ep 50 was just a completely new random antag that had to be introduced and dealt with in just 23 minutes
Also murasame was not present at all, anywhere, he was completely left out but also nobody seemed to care, his was the only plot line in the entire show that was unresolved
I consider this to be a prophecy and will be waiting with bated breath for it

The solo lines during the hotel rebuild in Finale are actually so fucking impactful though.
Niffty: "to build a hotel" - Niffty is the person brought in to maintain what was there; now she's actively working to build something new for all of them. She's not looking at the rubble and seeing a mess that needs to be cleaned up. She's looking at it and seeing something to create with her friends.
Angel Dust: "start with foundation" - Angel was the hotel's first patron; he was really the foundation of it all. Angel's progress is what's been keeping Charlie's dream steady this whole time. Watching him grow has been reassuring her that she's doing something right.
Lucifer: "remedial creation" - Lucifer, who lost faith in humanity after seeing what they did with free will, is remembering the hope he had for them back in Eden because his daughter taught him the potential he saw so long ago.
Charlie: "make the best of what's in ruins" - She's acknowledging that where she saw destruction and failure right after the battle, there's still hope. She's looking at everything that's happened, the successes and failures, and using it to build something better based on her experiences instead of giving up, starting over, or just picking up where she left off.
Vaggie: "new coat of paint" - Paint isn't just decoration. It's the first thing people tend to notice, because it's color. The right or wrong color can make a huge difference in people's opinions. Structure is good practically, but a bright appearance is what draws people in, NOT what's on the inside of the building. As far as making this hotel, Charlie's dream, come true, that ability to draw people in is incredibly important; and Vaggie's been trying her hardest to make that dream come true from the very start. And, just like Charlie, she's acknowledging that a little change is necessary to make this better by learning from what went right and wrong before.
Husk: "new lights across the marquee" - Husk was the least enthusiastic about all this in the beginning. He was only there because Alastor forced him to be. Now that he's seen the hotel actually helping people (Angel being the prime example), he sees it as a place that can give hope and light.
And as a bonus, because it's me so of course I have to...
Charlie + Vaggie: "we're gonna do this, you and me" - Charlie and Vaggie are the ones who started it all. Charlie had a dream and Vaggie was the only one who believed in her. In the beginning, it was just them against all odds; and it's still the two of them swearing to stay by each other no matter what. This line specifically is so incredibly emotional in its depth, and I adore it.
This song went so hard with its rebuild lines AND the Chaggie one, and I just think that's amazing.
