#idk maybe i'm reading too much into it

i just know this hurt Eunyung more than we're led to believe. he was absolutely convinced he was right seeing how quickly he agreed to the bet. him being wrong about a person's true intentions/ulterior motives must've stung bc 1) he's typically good at reading people so this is him basically failing at one of the 'few good skills' he has and 2) bc Haejoon's uncle being a decent upstanding person proves that good people do exist, Eunyung just never had the privilege of meeting them.

So in the Sneak Peak for ep 7 Alastor is frowning for like a split second

He looks so... tired and sad.

The fact that he drops his smile for this one second while saying "Dooming everyone you love?" is also interesting. Does Al have some regrets after all? Maybe it's somehow connected to his mother?

Later on, Alastor talks about how a smile doesn't always mean that someone is happy, that it can be used as a tool to fool people around you that you are in control/that you are fine. It seems as if Al's permanent smile is a copying mechanism. Makes me wonder what the hell happened that he does this.

I like that we get those lil snippets about Al and we're left to figure out if we want to trust him or not. He is such a well written character.

You know this scene?

And how it was played as a funny jab at Aku's starvation for approval?

Well, I think it portrays more condescension on Dazai's part than it seems...

Because Dazai touching Akutagawa might have been the reason he even fainted.

Akutagawa clearly agrees with Dazai when he points out his exhaustion, responding to his "You're at your limit, now, aren't you?" With "It doesn't matter".

Rashōmon could have been the only thing keeping Akutagawa standing at that moment.

Dazai could have been totally aware that that was the case.

And what he does? Nullify his ability right then and there. Seep what's left of his strength away. Before, and not after, he provides him the praise he oh-so-needs after so, so long.

I'm half certain Dazai wouldn't have given that compliment if he wasn't sure he'd turn his protege off that way. Never having to deal with the reaction, never having to handle the emotions that would result and stem because of him. Easier that way, isn't it?

And you know what? I don't even think Akutagawa heard him at that moment, else why would he still be adamant to win Dazai's approval after this scene?

What led to this (orufrey comic, cw an uncomfortable/creepy scene)

[invye]

Me, gasping awake: "Omg, I haven't thought about Rosinante in days!"

My brain: "No worries fam, here's a huge CoraHawk fake dating fix it AU."

Me: "Thank you :)"

*10 minutes later*

Me: "But you know we can't have Mihawk without Shanks, especially if this is set during their duelling times, and also I think Shanks and Rosinante would get on like a house on fire--"

My brain: "This is gonna be a polyamorous Rosinante/Mihawk/Shanks story before long, who do you think I am??"

...Do you think, since Asterius was almost 100% of the time alone in the labyrinth and it has to be so silent, only exception when the Athen's tributes were there, he finds comfort in Theseus' voice? Bc there isn't any silence anymore???

Idk if youve answered this before sorry if you have lol but what is your stance on jason and romance/romantic partners hes paired with? personally im an aroace jason truther and im not fond of most romantic ships he gets roped into but outside of personal hcs its mostly how his romantic relationships are written that makes me so critical of them. rosejay writing imo can be something SO heinous it makes me upset for them as characters

i actually don’t like any of jason’s canon relationships except for rena to be honest (they were adorable). all of his other canon relationships fall...very flat. jason's fast to care about people, but that's true for all people, not just those he might be romantically interested in. so far, no canon relationship has done anything to earn my interest in him and the other character being lovers as opposed to friends. none of the writers have ever quite managed to justify to me why certain characters become love interests.

isabel, for example, could have been a fun character she quite literally only exists as a love interest. and jason's interest stemmed in her from...she's pretty? i suppose? i was biased against this pairing from the start because the idea that jason could start a relationship on that casual a premise makes me laugh, personally. i think he needs time to realize he loves people, sorry. he can be charming and like people instantly, but he's also not normal enough to attempt at casual relationships so that's meaningless when it comes to romance.

it's a different problem with artemis because her and jason do get to know each other before anything romantic happens...but the lead up could not have lacked in chemistry more severely than it did. it felt like they got together because boy and girl who are really close.

jayrose is one of my least hated canon jason ships and it has nothing to do with how they're written, i just appreciate them being on panel together sometimes (and other times i can't even appreciate that lol). but again, this goes back to: why a love interest and not a friend? what about this relationship justifies that dynamic? what about it is more compelling if it is a romantic relationship rather than a friendship? because they have done nothing to convince me. i don't care if they've been married or if they kiss on panel. what does a romantic relationship with each other do for either of these characters? because so far, it hasn't made them grow or challenged them in any way that's fair to their characters.

with the way baby all for one is positioned here close to his mother's hand, do you think his mother was trying to reach out to him to comfort him shortly before she died?

I don't think he crawled to her either because he's laying on his back...

I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere yet, so I'll say it myself:

Did anyone else get the feeling that Ms. Manee, the woman Great hit with his car, was forced to do what she did? That someone made her do it for some reason and it wasn't because she was suicidal?

Idk why, but her face, how desperate she looked and how she was staring at the upcoming vehicles (as if scanning for the one she was looking for) made me wonder if there's more to her story than what we've been told. Also, the place it happened seems weird to me; a tunnel that passengers would only use if necessary, because it's dangerous to cross with the speed of the cars passing by.

Wouldn't she go to a more accessible spot to do it? Or am I being naive in my thinking here?

People have mentioned the possibility of her having debt as a reason for her decision to commit suicide, but to me, that's a potential tool for her to be threatened with, pushed to the limit, to do what she may have been ordered to do: give Great('s family) some trouble. Maybe she was told that if she did it, her son would be spared - because yeah, even if I'd like to ignore it, her son being mentioned not once but twice, seems important. Like her son could be a character in the story - an essential one even.

I'm just typing as I'm thinking this, but I couldn't get this theory out of my head, so I'm sharing it.

Thinking about this post and how Alastor pulled apart the screen first while Vox did the surrounding thing first.

I think it could reflect to how their relationship went.

At first, Alastor started to pull away, but it wasn't anything final yet since it feels more... artificial in a way?

But then Vox started to become more obnoxious, making Alastor feel like he was being surrounded before Vox fully tore their relationship apart.

(It honestly worries me how in Vox's parallel it shows him dividing Valentino and Velvette apart and I hope to god that's not foreshadowing that Vox will push the Vees away the same thing he did with Alastor but the leaked audition sheet for Vox is making me chuckle in danger)

Alastor surrounding Vox shows how after their relationship broke off, Alastor started to intentionally make Vox to continue to remember his existence, not letting him to forget who he is since we see him going in front of his cameras.

At least that's my interpretation.

I thought DT did a pretty good job hosting the BAFTAs. There were a couple times the writing wasn't the best but that's not on him, and either way, it's his first time hosting, much less hosting a major awards show.

I will admit though that I was always watching with that on eggshells-type of anxiety for him—because of the crowd. I am way too sensitive to the vibes of people and a room (it's kind of nice to have the ability? but also the cause of much suffering for me). The audience just did not seem to respond to him during the opening. Though there were some points they did respond quite well to (like his introducing Andrew Scott and Paul Mescal), idk they just seemed kind of resistant to him.

Is it because he mostly works in British television and theatre, and the American actors aren't really familiar with him and have no idea about Staged to connect to the intro? Or was it because he mostly works in British television and these award-nominated film actors are snobs? idk but I didn't like it

idk just wanted to get that off my chest onto my own blog bc it was bugging me quite a bit. Definitely not trying to start any type of discourse if you disagree.

What if Dr. Wenabocker was talking to stoats?

During the recordings there were one or two times where he said something along the lines of "Hold on a minute, just let me record this" and I assumed he was talking to a human coworker, but what if he was talking to stoats? Like, what if they had stoats either to experiment on or as pets and he was telling them to hold on because it was time to feed them? We don't hear anyone else on the recording, and I think we would have heard a human talking or shutting a door even from a distance. Three or four lil stoats, though? That recording device may not have been able to pick that up.

Just a thought that crossed my mind in the shower.
