#i guess it's a bittersweet feeling??

Happy Valentines, Akira. Happy Valentines, Asshole.

If you can’t read what Akechi’s secondary inner-dialogue says cause I obscured it too much behind his regular dialogue, here’s a transcription in panel order: Hello, you fucking- Ah- Hello, Akira! Fuck off, why should I tell you- Just a soda- there’s a new flavor.

I don’t want your shitty gift. Oh- haha! You’re so sweet.

I hope I choke. They’re lovely, thank you.

Like hell. Likewise. There’s no way it’s just a coincidence. Still though, it’s a funny coincidence.

I think JJK going on break after the last chapter is a bit cruel. This is nerve-wracking. We still have 3 chapters left and so many things can happen there. 268 feels too good to be true and the title is weird.

I'm not sure what is the right translation and I don't have access to raws. Right now, it's 268 title is "Finale" or "Conclusion" but I heard from someone that it can be also be read as "Curtains".

If it can be read as "Curtains", then it could be a reference to "final curtains". The problem is JJK has its own version of "Curtains", right? Idk what to think.

Gosh I wish it was “Curtains”. The chapter title is 決着 (Kecchaku) which means settlement/conclusion/end.

For example, at the end of an extremely brutal fight in Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Jolyne screams “Kechakuuuuuuu!” (決着ゥゥーーーッ!!) (It's actually a small Jojo meme in the JP fandom.) This got translated as "Game set!"

I love the localization they used for this since that entire battle was like struggling in arcade mode for a fighting game.

Anyways, in the context of JJK, especially since this has been a literal Sukuna Gauntlet and the previous chapter had the “Ringing the bell on a long fight.” editor’s comment, I don’t think there’s an ambiguous way to read Kecchaku. The Curtain/Veil kanji in JJK is 帳 (Tobari). (Though if there’s some fancy wordplay I’m missing please let me know.)

However…I would kneel before Gege if this was an elaborate trick by Sukuna—him giving Yuji delusions of a happy ending only to yank it away last second. It’s very hard to make characters feel familiar but slightly off on purpose for misdirection. That kind of tonal control is something I praise Umineko for. (Dungeon Meshi does it excellently for the shapeshifter scene.)

But that is pure copium I think. Sometimes otherwise good media just fumbles the endings. (Not an example of good media, but I was around for the Secret BBC Sherlock Season 4 Ending meltdown so I’m not too hopeful about a turnaround.) I personally blame the JP work culture/crunch since a lot of modern mangas have rushed endings due to burnout/unfair contracts.

I think the most heartbreaking examples of this phenomenon for me are The Owl House and Moral Orel. Those shows still stick the landing imo, but the creators are very open about how studio interference forced them to condense everything. You can feel that suffocation in the final episodes. Everything is just slightly off and you know it would be better if the creators were allowed their breathing room.

viserys used to always look up to rhaenys. he followed her everywhere. was always a half step behind her in the red keep. just like his mother was with his father, and his father was with rhaenys father. he listened to everything she said. wouldve done anything for her.

the last time he looks at her like that is when his name gets read at harrenhal instead of hers. thats the last time hes her baby cousin.

Regarding Techs death.....I think I figured out why I've have difficulties comprehending the idea that he is dead. ((Besides not wanting to let him go / denial))

That's because we literally didn't see a body. We saw his goggles, sure, but that's not actual proof. As far as my brain is concerned, he's still falling (cue loki falling meme). Because that's the last we saw of him. We didn't see him take his last breath, or hit the bottom, or drown, or get crushed, or anything. So because we didn't get to see him actually die, we only saw him fall. My brain just does not understand, doesn't comprehend it. It understood the implications (hence the many many weeks of tears and heartache) but that's about it.

And that's one of the reasons I think I need something more with his story, to prove that he lived or that he did in fact die. Because if not, he'll forever just be falling in my memories 😭

Happy anniversary to Etoiles losing the elections

the good thing about being (potentially) shadowbanned is now i can lowkey say whatever cringe things i want and it has even less bearing on my Tumblr Image. anyways what they don't tell you about summer flings is that summer does inevitably end and when it does you have to learn goodbyes in a completely new form and context, which somehow is even worse than shitty ones, because at least with those you can hold on to some kind of reasoning or gross truth that makes it feel more right, not when you're about to walk out of her home for the last time, crying stupid, when she tells you she loves you for what you realize is the first time and you say it back without even considering or realizing and. AHHHH!!!!! i'll be across the country in less than a week and all of this was inevitable. i'm changing, i feel deeply changed, i know i'll continue to change because that's how it's supposed to be, that's beautiful and natural, but that doesn't mean it won't kind of suck. i'm grateful. i'm not sure what else i could've needed or wanted. but i already miss her. incredible and a little cruel how you can go from just kind of catching back up with someone to the most soul-crushingly intimate sequence of events you've ever experienced within a month, and then it just be over. idk. it's not like i haven't had a hookup b4 lol. but i don't know. happenstance is crazy. i feel good about it, it's just. Really Sad. at the same time. agh

Sjiwjwiwqnjawn it feels silly to start writing about an 8 year old oc again, in a way. But it also feels like i missed out on a lot bc i was younger at the time...its hard to describe. Idk, my brain wasnt fully developed i couldn't cook oc lore as hard as I can now, i didnt have the skill i wanted to show my ideas like I do (kinda) now. Idk i feel like im in a weird place where it feels too late to really make my mark and share stuff about him while knowing ive been yapping a lot about him as i go through the story and flesh out parts of him i either forgot or felt too cringe to actually.

Bananey's fav fantastics songs that are not in the fan favourites list

note: fanta's genre isn't my type generally so most of my favourite fanta songs are because of their lyrics and emotional sense they gave me _(:'3JL)_

Na, na now's the time

So that you can believe in yourself more

Tell me, tell me everything that you want to accomplish

Let your voice out, so I can understand

So you can proudly love what you love

We're alive to welcome such an era in grand celebration

Wherever the sky goes

This very moment that exists only now

Full of things I don't know

Full of wonderful things

It overflows

(Love is overflowing now)

Every moment

Summer that's hotter than the sun

Summer that's even bluer than youth

Yelling I definitely won't lose! Bark out!

Every moment there is no such thing as tomorrow without today

I understand that too well

For this reason I am alive now!

"I've fallen in love with you," used to be nothing more than a hunch

I feel on days when I'm alone

But from now

Is it okay if I tell you how I feel

"I will definitely make you happy" and "I love yous"

Are all for you

Even after all this time

I keep being reminded of what made me love you so

Once again

Easy come, easy go

To this happy life

Dreams and smiles are things that will never fade

Humans are surprisingly strong you know

Because we have the power

To change despair into hope

Tl;dr: my favourite fanta songs are songs that reminds me of my feelings for them

[cookinguptales]

me: I'm fine about s5 of wwdits, I'm over it, I could probably even write fanfic that doesn't come off as totally irritated rn

dad, apropos of nothing: wow, I really hated the end of s5 of wwdits, it didn't make any sense at all.

What about a Maura x Daniel AU where the 1899 setting is real though. As in Maura joins Eyk and company to check out the Prometheus and finds a starved and desperate Daniel trying to protect a barely alive Elliot. And since she’s the doctor they put both of them in the room next to her and she’s with them 24/7, getting information about the mutiny that went wrong on the Prometheus and getting to know the sweet Welsh man and the little boy he decided to take care of when his parents were killed in the mutiny.

And woops would you look at that Maura has fallen in love with one patient and wants to adopt the other.
