#idk. godzilla was way better than this

[vamptastic]

jeez i knew oppenheimer probably wouldn't be a very balanced image of the dropping of the atomic bomb but I didn't think they'd just straight up not show a single japanese person the entire film

[ckret2]

saw your recent reblog about feedback and, though I’ve been occasionally gushing in tags, you deserve to hear what I tell my friends! In general, your writing style is perfect at capturing the timing and delivery of the show itself. I’ve never read a fic i’ve been able to visualize more clearly than this one. You write each character so well that between chapters it feels like i’m right back where i used to be, waiting for new episodes again. I do think you haven’t *quite* solved your side-character-ification (applejackification?) of Dipper problem yet, but other than that you’re doing an astounding job at balancing all the characters and their interactions with each other and with bill in a way that feels natural (plus with these more recent chapters i’m seeing lots of good dipper stuff so you’re definitely getting there with him too! besides, it is nice to see Mabel get the spotlight after all these years anyway. healing, even.) You know exactly how to control an audience’s emotions, you know when to drag something out and when to shut it down, you know when to cut off a conversation and when bring up the fact it was cut off later. Little foreshadowings like the loose tooth are well-planted and plot beats like lucid dreaming are dropped and picked back up delicately and with precision, like pressing piano keys. i don’t doubt for a second it’s all a part of some grand instrument, though i wouldn’t be surprised if you told me most of it was improvised - another way you’re just like the show was. you’ve done the episodic-and-serialized thing better than at least half of all silver-age cartoons that have attempted to do so! I adore the way you show kindness to all characters in your scenes, from gideon’s characterless mother to the little freak himself. It truly feels as though you pick no favorites, and that’s something you do better than the show did tbh. Not that TBOB needed to hook me in with a marketing campaign, but hypothetically, in a universe where I didn’t own a hand-sewn bill cipher throw-pillow and yet somehow still found this fic, I would definitely be excited for it after reading! you’re gifted, and i hope this does numbers on AO3. I truly cannot stand hazbin hotel, but I may go back and read your other works once this one’s over, just to hear your narrative voice. it’s a voice worth hearing, and may it be forever amplified.

oh WOW thank you so much??? 😭 this is SUCH a sweet comment and it means so much to me that you took the time to write all this!!

APPLEJACKIFICATION... that made me laugh. Dipper will get some serious development before the end of the eclipse plot and he's key in the next plot, so I think that'll help him make some progress. But yeah—he's not gonna be as important as Mabel, but I do want to make sure he has a plot that stands on its own, smaller though it may be.

It's 2/3 planned, 1/3 improvised. 😁 I've got a lead time of about 15 chapters between what I've posted and what I've written, so I can do stuff like write the poppet chapter, write the tooth fairy arc, edit the poppet chapter, realize that as long as I'm giving him a bloody lip maybe I can loosen his tooth, edit the tooth fairy arc, have him mention that that tooth was loose. And many chapters I haven't written or outlined yet I have loosely planned in my head so I know how to aim toward them.

Wanting to show kindness to all the characters and wanting to give as many of them an internal life as possible is so important to me, and I'm so glad that's showing through so far!

And honestly I think "I hate [xyz] but I'll read it if you're writing it" is the highest compliment. 😂 All my hazbin fics were written pre-season 1 when all we had was the pilot, a couple comics, creator comments, and some Helluva to go by; but idk maybe you'd consider that a plus lol. (If you're interested, on ao3 I've also written Transformers, Godzilla, some Pokémon, and a smattering of other things.)

Thanks again for sending such a nice message!

TALK TO SIMON ABOUT IT!!

Listen, Wille's right. Simon's right. People suck.

Look at Boris trying to teach August humanity 101.

IDK if I'm going to survive 2,5 more episodes of Simon's sad face.

you're dumbasses. your hormones have made you so stupid.

no one is being honest. including you two! and damn how do these two have so much chemistry!

SELL THEM OUT FELICE! SELL THEM OUT!

If micke hurts her, I'm going to punch my screen.

Damn, Malte for giving August so much depth.

Sara, this is why I love you. You know, and that's why you're always sad.

August, it's not a woman's job to make you a better person. (And anyone reading this, it's NEVER your job to make someone a better person.)

sidebar: I hated the comment 'we feel emotions more than others'. Well, tbh, that's bullshit. We can't gauge how anyone feels emotions. We can only see the reaction to that emotion. There is no such thing as an Empath. And it's not that people with mental illness feel things more deeply, it's that they don't have the coping mechanism to process that feeling or to work through it in a healthy way.

Let's sneak away and have sex because everyone is always watching us. And let's hold hands and grin like idiots in front of everyone to see. lol

They've said, 'I love yous'. It's more than halfway through the season. It's about to get bad. real bad. omg so bad.

Seriously, Simon?! All this time living with a neurodivergent sister and you haven't worked that out yet?

Shit. That's it. That's the moment Simon knows that he really doesn't trust him.

No please don't let that turn into something so bad that he cries again. :(((((((( But I know.

I hate this. It's like when I was watching the Oscars last night, and the Godzilla Minus One SFX team was up there, and I kept thinking, 'Don't you dare play the music over him, you monsters!!' And then they did. Yeah. That phone call was like that.

[daintyduck99]

Crush prompts! "i think about you a lot." "aw, really?"[panicking] "no." "oh." screams Sweet Tarts to me, idk why.

Carrie giggles with Kayla as they fly around the dance floor, spinning the night away expertly.

Usually, she doesn't get to enjoy these parties so much. She has to focus on whatever event it's attached to, or her next performance, or one of her many classes.

But now? Now the semester is over.

And she's never felt more free.

The music changes, and she floats into the kitchen, keen on finding more of that peach tea, minus the rum this time, maybe. What she finds is even better.

Reggie's leaning against the counter with a smirk, holding his drink away from Julie. Carrie has to huff a laugh as Julie turns her pout on Alex, then Luke, who caves, of course. Julie's a notorious drink thief.

"What is it that you aren't sharing?" Carrie says by way of greeting, swallowing the butterflies that swarm through her when Reggie's eyes meet hers. They shine.

"Rum and coke. I'm not against sharing, necessarily, but someone—" He playfully pokes Julie's ribs, smiling harder when she giggles and bats his hand away a beat too late. "Someone forgets that she starts Godzilla singing at people when she has too much of it."

Julie pouts again, leveling it at everyone and ending with Carrie. "I do not!"

"You do," Alex replies, placing an apologetic kiss to the top of her head. "Like, full on roaring. But melodically. It's adorable, but sober you disagrees, so. She'll thank us later."

Julie buries her face in Luke's shoulder and mumbles petulantly that she won't, but Carrie knows she will. It's disgustingly sweet, how much she and these boys love each other. They have something special.

It's not romantic, not really, or traditionally, or whatever, but Carrie's heart still twists a little when Reggie looks at Julie like that.

She busies herself by searching for the rum and the tea. Reggie reappears right beside her as she's pouring, and it takes everything in her not to splash tea everywhere. She scowls at him as she screws the cap back on the jug.

"Watch it, cowboy. What'd you do with your partners?"

He just laughs, gently tugging the jug out of her hands. He sidesteps and leans around some people to stick it back in the fridge, and she traces the line of his legs in those jeans, his spine and his shoulders in that jacket. She hurriedly takes a sip of her drink before he can turn back around.

She doesn't think these butterflies are the kind she can drown, though.

"Eh, you know them," he says as soon as he's in her space again. "Alex wanted to dance, and Luke and Julie are probably cuddled up somewhere."

Carrie hums over the rim of her cup. She nudges him in a way that she wouldn't if she were more sober, probably.

"And you?"

"Me?" He gives her a disarming grin, tapping his cup against hers. "I'm hanging out with the coolest person here."

She giggles. "You think I'm cool?"

"I think you're badass," he says sincerely, and she bites down on a grin of her own.

"Thanks." And before the silence can grow too charged, her rum-loosened tongue decides to add, "I think about you a lot."

He lifts his chin with a smirk. "Aw, really?"

Fuck.

Her heart thrums like a hummingbird in her throat, beating out the butterflies. "No!"

"Oh." He shrugs. He's still wearing that damn smirk. "Okay. Guess I'll have to tell my partners that I'm giving up on getting the girlfriend. I was gonna see if maybe that really cool person wanted to go on a date later this weekend, but—"

Carrie mashes her palm against his mouth. He has soft lips, and the way they curl against her skin sends a tingle down her spine, but she blinks hard, shoving the sensation away.

"Ask me. Later, when we're both sober. If you ask nicely, I might say yes."

His eyes sparkle, and she shrieks, cradling her hand to her chest.

"Did you seriously just lick me?"

"I'd do more than that if you'd let me," he murmurs, and she shivers. He's never looked at her like this before, so openly.

She's never seen him look at anyone like this, really.

He takes her hand and kisses the back of it. "I think about you a lot, too, you know."

"Whoa there, cowboy." She threads her fingers through his and returns his smirk, though his has softened back into more of a smile. "Let's start with a dance."

1, 4, and 9 for the end of year ask meme?

1. song of the year

My top Spotify song for the second year in a row was Put ‘Em Up by Priory

My top song that came out this year is either something off of sm(f)s (idk which it’s been a hot minute since I listened to the album so they’re all blurring in my memory) or Get Happy by Matt Maeson

4. movie of the year

I wanna say Godzilla but I still haven’t seen it. (Curse the holidays for no free time, terrible-never-want-to-leave-my-house-again weather, and every other excuse). Hopefully I’ll get to see it this week. I don’t think I’ve seen a lot of new movies this year but it’s probably a coin flip between Asteroid City or Barbie.

Reason why Barbie: it’s so good and pink lovely and everything I wanted from the Barbie movie. Is it high art? Doesn’t need to be. It does what it set out to do and looks fabulous doing it.

Reason why Asteroid City: if you like Wes Anderson this is the most Wes Adnerson movie and it works basically any way you shake it. It pulled me in, got me on board with the framing device immediately, and sold me on whatever story it was trying to tell. Plus the alien is wonderfully weird and should take me out of the story but if anything it draws me in. If you like Wes Anderson you’ll like this. If you don’t like him, don’t watch this. If, like me, the most Wes Anderson you’ve watched is his early stuff during a hs film class, try him again his current stuff - while still very stylized - is much better than his early stuf f

9 best month of the year for you

Glancing through my camera roll I’m gonna say July. I don’t remember anything too headachy from work. I started that month with free Hawaiian shirt night at PNC park and ended it with Yinzerpalooza. In between I drove down to Charlotte and visited my cousin and saw Fall Out Boy live. Barbie Movie came out and I think that’s around when I saw Asteroid City. Based on the memes I have saved I think July 1st was free agency which means Jars re-signing. So yeah. That feels right. My mental health is just better in the summer when I can see the sun. The summer seasonal depression was minor this year (so either I got better at managing it or it was caused entirely by the sudden end of school and any associate routines) and July being in the middle has always been a pretty transitional month without feeling like a blink and it’s gone.

[wahbegan]

Gotta say, and i like the movies, but i'm noooooot a huge fan of the Legendary Monsterverse designs. Well, i should say particularly the original monsters. Like Godzilla's pretty good, not great though IMO, King Ghidorah, Rodan, and Mothra were the stand-outs, loved those, but the rest....idk. The MUTOs were pretty forgettable, Kong: Skull Island had some stand-outs like the Mother Long Legs, but the Skullcrawlers were just fine, King Kong is-okay it's hard to design King Kong in a suitably threatening way cause he's just a fucking gorilla man, and they fumbled Mechagodzilla harder than i thought it possible to. Now these two new villains in Godzilla x Kong (still a HILARIOUS name by the way there had better be a full penetration sex scene) just aren't....great. I mean granted we haven't really properly SEEN Shimo in the film, but it's...honest to god, the best giant monster design from this ENTIRE franchise was the corpse of that thing from the very first teaser trailer for the 2014 film. Just been downhill since

[clownkiwi]

tbhhhhh its kinda hard trying to love something like yokai watch esp since they've gone downhill after the third game & they still had no idea what made them great

n now being a fan of the first three games is hard because every hater will now come.at you with "fake fan shit" and its like.... yea....... mayb ur right,,,,,,

[kimberlyannharts]

Mighty Morphin #17 is out today!  i think going forward, since i’ll be following MM a little more closely with its new writer (yet not quite as closely as i was before) i’ll just do a general list of my thoughts.  my recaps will still follow my reread, as well as unconnected upcoming releases like PRU and Godzilla vs MMPR.  so here we go - obviously spoilers:

- so i have a theory that this cover’s issue was originally going to be #16′s and then #18′s was supposed to be this issue’s original cover, but things got pushed back because late in production someone got the idea of the Eltarian War finale issues having parallel covers.  So that’s why MM #16′s is a bunch of reused assets and MM #18′s current cover fits this issue a lot more than #17′s current cover.  idk.  this really has nothing to do with the issue’s content but #16′s cover being recycled art still bugs me since Boom doesn’t usually do that.  anyway

- ROCKY FOCUS FOCUS ON THE FAMILY OF A RANGER OH GOD HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN FOR EITHER OF THOSE THINGS!!!!!!!!  Rocky’s a super cute big brother oh my god and this issue sells it way better than the dome arc’s strategy of just talking about some family we never saw before and never bring it up again afterwards.    

- speaking of “how long has it been for either of those things” how long has it been since Billy and Tommy interacted.  my god.  i missed my boys (and i’m glad we’re sort of implying that Billy’s broken off from Promethea LIKE YES PLEASE PUT HIM BACK WITH HIS TEAM)

- King Aradon looks like a Machine Empire character instead of generic Iron Man Mech #14 thank god.  i like his emoji butler

- the shade towards the Omegas being the SUPER COOL SPACE-TRAVELING team was extremely cathartic.  the MMPRs can travel to space without a mentor too so fuck off.  excited for how their epic scuba trip adventures from the show will finally make their comeback for the underwater Command Center heist   

- as much as i enjoyed myself though this issue was still a little rude in making me remember Matt exists.  again, not Mat Groom’s fault, but at this point Matt Ranger is something that I’m never going to come around to even if he does get written “better.”  personal problem really but that’s what happens after years of dealing with Ryan’s execution of the concept.  i’m just burnt out.  i guess we can hope this is the beginning of his end

[qualxon]

Idk what to call this but I wanted to write some Kōkei and Godzilla interaction so here it is

It's short but it was nice to write

"Kōkei?" Godzilla called. He hadn't seen his nephew at all for a few days, and it concerned him - it was beyond unusual for him to disappear like this.

As he strode along the island's coastline, he could sense something up ahead, on the other side of a rocky outcrop that split the beach. Godzilla couldn't see the other side, but he knew something was there.

Rounding the corner, he saw Kōkei laying down on the sand, staring off into the horizon as the sky's colours bled from the clear blue of day to the soft red of dusk. He didn't notice his uncle until he was settled down beside him on the beach. Godzilla spoke:

"Lovely colours tonight," he said.

Kōkei startled, turning to face Godzilla. "Uncle Goji! I'm sorry, I - I didn't notice -"

"It's alright, I wasn't sure where you were, so I came to check on you - you seemed deep in thought, is there anything you want to talk about?"

"It's fine," Kōkei answered. "I didn't mean to worry you, I've just been thinking."

"Oh?" Godzilla quirked. "Is it anything I can help you with?"

"I don't... it's just..." He sighed. "Do you think my father would be proud of me?"

Godzilla didn't know what to say. Of course Dagon would have been proud of his son! He would have had no reason not to be! He wanted to say these words to Kōkei, but settled on a different approach.

"Kōkei, do you know what your name means?"

"You told me it means 'successor'."

"Yes - and do you know why your father gave you that name?"

Kōkei shook his head.

"It's because he was always proud of you. From the moment you first opened your eyes he knew that you would do great things and grow to be the best alpha kaiju anyone has ever known - even greater than he was. It's why I call you Junior, too. You're every scale of your father's and more. When the time comes, you'll rule better than anyone before you."

"I just don't think I'm ready." Kōkei spoke quietly, barely above a whisper.

"As you should."

Kōkei's eyes widened as he looked back at Godzilla, shock and confusion playing on his face.

"You're too young yet, Junior. Your father may have taken the mantle of alpha at a young age, but that does not mean you have to. My duty to you is to raise you and keep you safe, not to hand my title to you before you are ready."

Kōkei was silent for a long moment, and Godzilla continued:

"I never wanted to be the alpha when I was your age. I used to watch how Dagon would handle the role and I always believed I would never live up to that standard, but when he died, I didn't hesitate to take over. It was the only way that, in the face of war, I could ensure you would be safe."

"Safe? Safe how?"

Godzilla chuckled lightly. "When you're at the top of the food chain, very few kaiju are willing to fight you. Yes, I've had a fair share of tough opponents, but you'll be in that position anywhere in life. And besides, from your perspective, anything that targets you has given themselves a death sentence - it's rare to battle an alpha and win, that's why we pass down the title."

Kōkei considered this for a while, and the only sound was the gentle lapping of waves on the beach.

"So," Kōkei started, "when do you think I'll be ready?"

"You're ready when you're ready - I'll see to it that it happens no sooner than that. I made a promise, and I intend to keep it."

BnHA Chapter 288: ZOOM AND ENHANCE

Previously on BnHA: Tomura, AFO, Deku, and Nana all met up inside of OFA and were all, “wow this is awkward.” AFO talked a whole bunch about vestiges before realizing that nobody cared (EXCEPT FOR ME. I CARED!!), and was then all “anyway so just to get everyone up to speed here, Tomura is Nana’s grandson.” OFA appeared and was all “what up bro I see you’re still a dick”, and then everyone stood around for a bit waging psychokinetic war on each other and blowing up on the ground and shit. This didn’t really accomplish anything, so AFO shifted gears and started trash talking Deku instead, because he’s a whiny little punkass loser who can’t admit when his brother has gotten the best of him yet again! OFA was all “anyways Deku rules and haters gonna hate, peace”, and then everyone wooshed back out of OFA and back into the real world, Deku with his quirk still intact. Meanwhile Gigantomachia and the LoV stampeded ever closer to the city, and Toga started monologuing in preparation for a seemingly inevitable battle with Ochako! And then the chapter basically just ended there lol.

Today on BnHA: Imagine you are Uraraka Ochako. And you’re out here doing what you do best, saving bitches and being a badass, when all of a sudden some old lady runs up to you and is all “PLEASE HELP ME, MY HUSBAND IS ASLEEP OR SOME SHIT, YOU KNOW US OLD PEOPLE, WE’RE SO FUCKING FEEBLE AND HAPLESS.” And so you’re all “OF COURSE” because you’re a good fucking person, and then she speeds off like she’s got fucking wheels and it’s like damn, grandma, were you in varsity track or what, and then OUT OF NOWHERE she just spontaneously turns into HIMIKO FUCKING TOGA. And she’s all naked and shit, and it’s like damn, Toga, where are your clothes, and she just giggles and ducks into a nearby building. And so you follow her for god knows what reason, and she fucking pounces on you and starts interrogating you in like the most seductive way possible, and you’re all wtf is this. Like, can you even imagine. Anyway so Ochako is having quite a day.

okay lol so I’ve gotta kind of rush through this since I’ve got other stuff I need to wrap up today as well, so! fingers crossed that we get a nice, simple chapter with no controversies or elaborate revelations or anything like that! just give me lots of stuff to mindlessly keysmash about, Horikoshi. I’m counting on you bro

lol what

an actual fucking plane?? is that allowed?? how bizarrely normal. are we sure this plane does not shoot lasers or something or is powered by someone with like a fusion reactor quirk idk

and who tf is Takeo-san. some random guy Horikoshi is suddenly introducing after 300 chapters to come save everyone at the last minute? pretty sus. Horikoshi is this your self insert

GASP

NO WAY THIS IS ALL MIGHT, RIGHT?? holy shit I swear to god if it’s All Might this lady needs to TURN THE FUCK AROUND RIGHT NOW. stop at McDonalds, order a black coffee for herself and only herself, and drive the rest of the way back home without so much as a bathroom break. there are certain prophecies which we don’t need to be tempting right now, okay people?? holy shit

(ETA: OR, here’s a thought, WHAT IF IT’S BEST JEANIST. hope springs eternal lmao. anyways though surely it’s not actually All Might. he can’t die yet, he’s got like 5 million secret things he needs to explain to Deku, and also Kacchan is unconscious and he can’t just SLEEP RIGHT THROUGH ALL MIGHT’S DEATH like come on.)

oh look more heroes all lining up to be slaughtered by Machia

real talk, at this point their priority should just be evacuating any citizens in Machia’s path, and then getting the fuck out of his way. none of them stand a chance in hell at stopping him and they know it. the body count is already high enough as it is. regroup and live to fight another day, people

anyway, so Machia is apparently plowing through cities at 100km per hour. that... actually might not be fast enough. Gunga and Jakku were 80km apart, so at that rate it would take him nearly an hour to reach Tomura. that fight’s gonna be long done by the time they get there. huh

okay these guys are saying he’s going to reach them in about 8 minutes. ?? so are you telling me Tomura and Deku and the rest have been fighting for like 40 minutes already?? lmao Gran probably bled to death half an hour ago at this rate. Horikoshi please explain yourself. some of us spent our entire childhoods doodling comics instead of paying attention in math and science AND IT SHOWS

anyway so this is all very bad and this guy is really rubbing it in just how bad it is

I mean... yeah. obviously the villains are still to blame at the core of it all, but yeah. feels like you all could have planned a hell of a lot better for this. you knew there was the risk of Tomura waking up, and you knew there was also the risk of Gigantomachia waking up as well. and you pretty much had no contingency plan at all huh. society is really gonna be in shambles after this

lmao look at this shit. Machia is so big at this point that it looks like they’re having a picnic in the middle of some desert somewhere. at what point does it cease being a guy’s back and start being its own zip code

even has its own wifi. amazing

oh shit Compress apparently spotted someone and he’s asking Skeptic to “zoom and enhance” like it’s CS fucking I. that’s not how it works Compress you fucking boomer

anyway so OF COURSE,

was there a reason you needed to zoom in on them, other than to trigger Toga?? some people just want to watch the world burn

so Toga is now GEARIN’ UP!!

that honestly is so fucking handy. over at U.A. they have to carry their gear in briefcases like scrubs. does Compress actually have the best quirk in the world?? it flies under the radar so well that I always forget about it, but like WHAT CAN’T IT DO though, y’know??

WELL WHAT DID YOU THINK WAS GONNA HAPPEN MY DUDE

“oh hey is that the U.A. kids? Skeptic could you please zoom in on them for absolutely no reason? OH MY GOD TOGA IS RUNNING OFF TO FIGHT THEM, OH MY GOD WHO COULD HAVE FORESEEN, OH MY GOD”

now he’s all “DABI PLEASE DO SOMETHING” but Dabi is all “DABI DON’T CARE”

Dabi don’t care about NOTHING OR NO ONE!! Dabi don’t got time for this

lmao I literally forgot that Spinner was even there, shit

so are you gonna go with her then or not? because I got news for you dude, it doesn’t matter how heartwarming your speech is, nothing can stop this girl now that she’s gone full distracted boyfriend meme

AW BUT IT REALLY IS HEARTWARMING THOUGH

Spinner is the glue keeping this dysfunctional Addams family together honestly. too bad he couldn’t stop Compress from OPENING HIS BIG DUMB MOUTH ah well

lmao but he’s letting her go anyway though

Spinner for new LoV President. all in favor??

ANYWAYS LOL THIS IS BAD

“ACCELERATE EVACUATIONS” LOL WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO OCHAKO HE’S MOVING AT 100KM AN HOUR AND HE’S LIKE FUCKING GODZILLA SIZED FKJLK

“PLEASE RUN OUTSIDE OF THE VILLAIN’S PERIPHERY” well thank fucking god the people have you guys to guide them what would they even do without you lklkhlkds

NO HORIKOSHI DON’T YOU DARE

IF YOU HURT MY GIRL FROPPY I SWEAR TO GOD!! LEAVE HER ALONE YOU BRIGAND

OH THANK GOD

“sorry for SAVING YOUR LIFE” smh. anyway so how fucking badass is Ochako though?? can we just talk about this. THE GIRL POWER ARC STRIKES AGAIN hot damn

(ETA: and btw, seeing as Iida is nowhere to be found, I’d say odds are pretty good that they did in fact send him to go warn the Endeavorsquad of Gigantomachia’s imminent arrival. godspeed Iida! they need all the help they can get right now honestly.)

EXCUSE ME BUT ARE YOU TOGA

IS THIS TOGA. THIS IS DEFINITELY TOGA OMG

“I IMMEDIATELY TRUST YOU AND I WILL FOLLOW YOU TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH” noooo Ochako nooooo

damn Toga you really drained some poor old lady’s blood just so you could pull this kind of sneaky shit. I forgot how much I loved you

ohhhh lol so it’s her “husband” that is Takeo-san lol

THE BETTER TO LURE YOU INTO A TRAP MY DEAR

lmao Ochako you rube

now you’ve done it Toga. there is nothing Ochako loves more than a good old fashioned Old People Romance. DID YOU KNOW SHE HAS SEEN THE NOTEBOOK LIKE FIFTY TIMES. AND NO MATTER WHAT, IT ALWAYS GETS HER AT THE END. meanwhile I just want to watch a movie where James Marsden actually gets the girl for once but we all know that will never happen

OH MY

ngl this page would be like a thousand times better if Ochako was still blushing omg. did I ship this before?? I honestly can’t remember but I sure as fuck ship it now goddammit

(ETA: pretty sure I shipped it back during the Forest arc too but I don’t have time to check right now lol. but Toga is just so horny on main for everyone, all the time, and so like, it’s hard not to ship it.)

so now Toga is running off all flirtatiously and Ochako is barreling after her lol

plot twist, Takeo-san is actually in there. and he has NO IDEA what’s going on. WHAT HAPPENED TO MY WIFE. WHY IS THERE A GIANT MOLE MAN BURROWING THROUGH THE CITY

Ochako why on earth would you follow Toga into this dark creepy house where she could spring at you from any angle out of nowhere. just go back outside and float up over it until you have a high enough vantage point to see all the exits and just wait for her to come out

Toga says she wanted to talk to Tsuyu-chan as well, but let’s be real, you and her don’t have the same kind of electrically charged kismesis energy that you’ve got going on with Ochako though

LMAO DEKU NOWHERE IS SAFE

getting dragged like a fucking wedding train and he’s not even there to defend himself, shit

blah blah blah just ask her your question already Toga

MY WORD

would someone please inform Toga that this manga is only rated PG-13

so now Ochako is all “seriously Toga wtf”

you see that’s what I wanted to know too, lol. I really like that the characters actually think about these things and ask these kind of questions. that’s exactly the contrast between the heroes and the villains right there. the villains care about each other, they’ll give each other heartwarming speeches to please come back alive, and yet they’re utterly indifferent to the thousands of people being killed as they demolish their way through city after city. meanwhile by contrast Ochako’s first thought upon being erotically waylaid by her sexy knife-wielding archnemesis is “but what about that poor old lady is she all right.” just completely opposite energies, almost to a hilarious degree. like maybe Ochako actually should worry about herself just a little bit more lol but heroes gonna hero

and so now what, Toga!! you’re gonna pout about it?? like she’s betrayed you somehow?

anyway so that’s the end of the chapter! and I’ll just come right out and say that I’m hoping that this fight ends up being something where Toga maybe starts to see things just a little bit more from Ochako’s point of view, and not the other way around, because otherwise I’ll be a little frustrated, ngl. the manga has done an excellent job of making the villains likeable and relatable and getting us to sympathize with them up till this point, but at some point it’s got to start refuting some of these arguments and making it clear that the villains do not actually have any kind of moral high ground here

and also! I really like Toga and would like her to have some kind of redemption arc! but as of now that’s looking to be really difficult if not impossible to pull off, because Toga hasn’t exactly shown a whole lot of remorse for anything she’s done so far, you know? because she doesn’t see it as bad in any way; to her it’s just her way of expressing love, and being true to who she is. but being true to yourself really should NOT involve, you know, MURDER, and so yeah. it’s a problem lmao

but who knows! maybe this battle with Ochako will be the start of something which eventually leads to some sort of change within her! I have absolutely no idea how that could play out tbh, but even so I can hope! either that or she will double down on the whole “villains are victims and heroes are apathetic cruel hypocrites” ideology and decide she wants to kill Ochako and Izuku for breaking her heart, in which case I will be very sad, but I guess if that’s the way Horikoshi’s gonna play it it is what it is!

and lastly, so is this going to be like the final battle between them or something?? surely not, right? like this is just round 2 of 3. well at any rate, it’s sure going to be interesting

ADHD STUDY TIPS

I have adhd. I'm taking all online classes this semester for college. Somehow, I'm not failing. Here's what I do that works for me!

1. I have an alarm that makes me do math every morning to turn it off, it's called Alarmy! 📚

2. It also plays a different loud sound every day from random-- I have several hundred(?) ringtones downloaded from Zedge, things like songs from shows I like or Pokemon cries or MBMBAM lines, and this helps me wake up to a different sound I'm bound to like which my brain can't get used to (and then ignore). I highly suggest godzilla roars if you need to be startled awake. 📚

3. This is SUPER HARD but I always try to force myself to sit up in bed when I'm turning off my alarm or checking my phone or whatever, so I'm not tempted to pass out again. I also like to get up and loudly tell my cats "good morning" so I wake us both up 📚

4. PLEASE STOP EATING CEREAL AND BAGELS AND STUFF. You would not BELIEVE the difference it makes when you eat things like fruits and eggs in the morning. NO MORE 10AM NAPS, I'M WATCHING YOU 📚

5. I literally schedule in Duolingo time. If you aren't learning a language you can do some other enriching activity like this, idk. I force myself to do it on my computer, not phone, so I can't lay down in bed when I'm doin it. I have a 101-day streak!! 📚

6. ik this isn't available to everyone but SPACE MATTERS SO MUCH!! I got a gaming desk that we put in our living room and I do ALL of my homework there. I also got a second monitor for my laptop with is SOOOO important if you're multitasking (and we all are, bc we're adhders ibdusvcjkn) 📚

7. HAND WRITE YOUR NOTES!!! I know this is super hard for many people-- I have carpal tunnel so I get it lmao. If you can't, at least type them. YOU THINK YOU CAN MEMORIZE INFO BUT YOU'RE WRONG!! Please write as much as you can i swear it will change ur life 📚

8. COLOURED! PENS!!! These changed the game for me y'all. I take all my notes in at least 2 colours, and I cycle through them a lot. My favs are Pilot Frixions because u can erase them :) (the highlighters are epic too) 📚

9. Make your space fun, but NOT DISTRACTING. I have a plant (his name is Yoshi) and a desk Godzilla (his name is Godzilla) on my desk, but they're out of the way so I can't zone out starin at em. But also, when I'm bored outta my gourd, I can smile at Yoshi and tell him how my day is goin :] 📚

10. SNACKING BAD *BUT*... sometimes i do it anyway... i try to associate certain foods with subjects, like I eat cocoa M&Ms (which are awesome) when I'm reading my Kaqchikel textbook. On the upside, I think it helps me recall Kaqchikel better? but also the language makes me crave mnms adkldigurvn 📚

11. LISTEN TO... CERTAIN MUSIC. I have learned that music with words, even in LANGS I DO NOT KNOW, is HELL for my adhd. Right now I'm listening to stuff like "Pokemon and Chill" (lofi album on YT), Studio Ghibli violin covers, and Night on Bald Mountain 5x on repeat ibjnvc.... I highly suggest songs/videos that are, like, 20+ minutes or else you'll get distracted with the constant change. Also, that No One's Around To Help 1hr vid is REALLY REPETITIVE and therefore PERFECT for when I'm reading textbooks. 📚

12.  EVERY NIGHT... i make a super detailed timetable schedule for the next day, down to the half hour. I don't always follow it but it's a really good reminder of what I gotta do. I write it on a whiteboard but sometimes I also write it on a sticky note and on social media so I don't forget. To do lists are so epic you guys 📚

13. THIS HAS SAVED MY L I F E: at the beginning of the semester I looked at ALL of my syllabi and wrote down EVERY daily task, test, homework, etc BY DATE. this is essentially a premade to do list EVERY DAY for MONTHS and oh my gosh it is the best thing I have ever done. 📚

14. I use the Forest app to track my productivity AND lock me out of apps ndsjv... podomoro timers work well too!!! 📚

15. Ok so for me this is like... a religious thing bc my Patron (my God) is a deity of fire AND working, but I like to light a candle (scented like FALL!!) and do a little prayer on it and I have it next to me when I'm workin on terrible, terrible homework. It helps me feel like my Patron is here with me, but also it’s GREAT for grounding and I can just kinda. Stare blankly at the flame and then get back to tryin to focus. 📚

16. Please drink water lmao, to make sure I drink enough I set little goals like "take a sip after every paragraph you read" 📚

17. Each of my classes has a different coloured notebook which I'm consistent with! Like, all my German notebooks through the years have been green! Also I take notes w green pens a lot in Deutsch 📚

18. HELLA STICKY NOTES... I put em on the bottom of my monitor, on a shelf by my desk, in my books as bookmarks (bad idea lol), on Yoshi. When I wanna go look up something random but I need to focus, I like to write it down on sticky notes to look at later. 📚

19. I'm the most annoying student ever. I like to do a bunch of assignments at once so I don't have to budget my time later, so I'll turn in like 5 things in an hour and then NOTHING for a week. ALSO i email my teachers constantly if I have any questions at all. I work at a pace that works for me!!! 📚

20. I turn off my sound on my phone until I'm done with work bc otherwise I WILL open that notification 📚

22. I make a loooot of chai (and also some overpriced herbal teas). It makes me feel fancy, it's better for me than coffee, and it helps me ground and focus! Plus it's a samefood! 📚

23. Hyperfixating on classic literature would be awesome, except I'm hyperfixating on Gothic and I'm taking a lit class for More Than Just Gothic. But I'm figuring out ways to connect them, which is really helpful, cause I get to enjoy my hyperfixation while learning for school! PLZ TRY TO DO THIS (harder when you're hyperfixating on godzilla :pensivecowboy:) 📚

21. When I have extra time I write my notes like I'm plannin to put em on Tumblr and taggin em as #darkacademia... I never post my notes, but when they look nice it's easier for me to look over em later. Plus it takes me longer to write so I remember it a lil better!! 📚

24. I'm in an awesome academia + studyspo server!! We sometimes study together on call and it's SUCH a good motivator! Here's an invite link if u wanna join, we are nice https://discord.gg/fjuX7TN (this wasn’t meant to be a promo post I just really like this group lol) 📚

OK I hope that helps!!! Feel free to add more if you have any tips that work for you :) Neurotypicals, feel free to RB respectfully!

(pics are: syllabus list, daily schedule, Yoshi the plant, and some fancy notes)

Wine Drunk while watching Godzilla vs Kong

Some major spoilers up ahead!

Mans really just annoyed the shit out of his coworker until he left so he could hack shit, huh?...I love it! 🤣🤣

——————————————

You mean to tell me that the explanation for why Godzilla attacked the one tech company site by the dude who studied Kaiju communication and behavior for a living is just, “sometimes people (and creatures) change”???? Like some dumbass justifying a toxic person/relationship??? Like excuse me???? Why are the literal teenagers making more sense than you?????

Also, we’re all in agreement that this facility is either housing Ghidora’s dead head, Mecha Godzilla, or Mecha Ghidora, right?!?

——————————————

Lol! “Apex Cybernetics!” That’s not foreshadowing! 🤣

——————————————

Apparently, I didn’t get my fill of white nonsense from Falcon and Winter Soldier, bc someone decided to put this blonde-hair-blue-eyed little bitch in charge! That’s not ganna go wrong somehow. 🙃😑👀

Like this bitch literally wanted to send a fucking child into unexplored hollow earth territory without a second thought! 🙃🙃🙃🙃 I was literally like 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕 for that entire convo.

——————————————

I’m sorry! This conspiracy man just met these teenagers, and his first impulse was, “yeah, theses seem like some good people to break into a tech conglomerate with!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣

——————————————

Why are these people surprised Kong knows sign language? These are people who study Kaiju (and presumably other animals in order to draw conclusions about certain behaviors) for a fucking living!!! We have primate species that recognize and communicate in sign language already! Why is this surprising???!?! Like...has NO ONE except this precious child tried this????

Also, nothing bad better happen to this child.

——————————————

That ship literally fucked around, and Godzilla let it find out! Lmao!

——————————————

Kong: Hey, Godzilla...look at me...

Godzilla: >:[

Kong: ...bitch.

——————————————

Precious girl: Thank you, friend 🧏🏽‍♀️

Kong: ☺️😴

THIS GIRL IS TOO PRECIOUS!!!!

——————————————

Bitch-ass White Man: How’s Kong with heights?

BITCH, you really ganna try that?!?! You really think you ganna find any aircraft(s) that are ganna be able to support all that weight?? Never mind any other problems with Kong trying to nope the fuck out of that situation and all kind of other hosts of problems!

And if you do somehow have one (or multiple) WHY TF DIDN’T YOU USE THAT BEFORE KNOWING FULL AND WELL YOU RAN THE RISK OF GODZILLA MERCING KONG’S ASS IF YOU TRAVELED VIA SHIP!?!?!?!

——————————————

Down the Hell Naw tunnel we go!

——————————————

“I think it’s romantic,”

I fucking love Millie Bobbie Brown’s character!! 🤣❤️🤣

——————————————

WHY IS THIS TEENAGER SMARTER THAN EVERYBODY OMG!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

——————————————

“This is page one in the ‘Playing God’ handbook, right?”

I’ve decided I love this character! 🤣

——————————————

WHY YOU GETTING INSIDE THAT THING—Oh god! 😨 Why y’all got eggs!?!? This is like if Weyland-Yutani succeeded in getting Xenomorphs! 😬

——————————————

Oop! Locked in! THIS IS WHY YOU DON’T HIDE OUT IN MYSTERIOUS ROOMS!!!!

——————————————

Oh shit! Apex Cybernetics think they on that Wakanda shit now!

Also, why was that one Apex Cybernetics bitch bitching about how one of those HEAV crafts could power Vagas for a week if y’all clearly have a whole network or transportation using this tech!

And I never understood how tech companies kept that shit to world domination shit! Build a public transportation system with that shit! Boss man said he likes ideas that make him rich! Pretty sure that would do the trick!

——————————————

WINE BREAK!!!

Saving the rest of the last bottle for coking Gumbo, so gotta open up a new bottle

——————————————

Aw, Kong is so sick of this bullshit! 😂😭

——————————————

“It’s not working”

Bruh! Give it more that two seconds!

——————————————

HOW DARE Y’ALL USE KONG’S LOSS AGAINST HIM!!!! HOW DARE Y’ALL!!!

——————————————

HEAV go Brrrrrrr Shoooooooooooom!!!!

——————————————

LMAO!!! Monarch has their own brand of bottled water!?!?! Idk why that amuses me so much!

——————————————

This hallow earth portal thing is some Pacific Rim bullshit right here, lol!

——————————————

NYOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM

——————————————

Are we...are we really Ice Age: Dawn of Dinosaur-ing this shit rn??? 😂😂😂

——————————————

“It’s beautiful,”

Of course it’s beautiful! No hoomins have touched it! Lol

——————————————

Y’ALL GOT FUCKIN DRAGONS IN THIS BITCH!?!?!?!!! 8D YO!!! SIGN ME THE FUCK UP!!!!

——————————————

*marvels at the creature creation ideas*

—————————————���

Kong’s first thought: *nom the dragon guts*

——————————————

THE ROCK HAND OMG IM GANNA CRY!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 It’s the same gesture the Precious Girl did OMG!!!!

——————————————

“We going in?”

“Yeah”

——————————————

“Humanity, once again, will be the apex species,”

THERE it is!

——————————————

Why Mecha-Godzilla so skeeny?!? He need ta be thicc if he ganna take down REAL Godzilla!

——————————————

*Ryan Bergera conspiracy voice* Is this the real reason Kong was contained!? So this douche could snatch up Skull Crawlers without Kong intervention???

——————————————

OH SHIT!!! I think this thing is emitting alpha waves (or whatever we’re calling it) and THAT’s what set Godzilla off!!! He fought Ghidorah, heard this shit and went, “Nu-uh, bitch! NOT AGAIN!!!”

——————————————

Monarch dude: Yo, Godzilla’s headed to Hong Kong for some reason?

FUCKIN CALLED IT!!!

——————————————

This look like the door to fuckin General Grievous’s lair,da fuq?!? 🤣🤣🤣

 ——————————————

I got waaay too emotional over that handprint, y’all! 😭😭😭

——————————————

Y’all, the fucking art history major in me is fuckin screaming at this temple scene! The fact that some of these Kaiju not only had the urge and drive and capacity to build a fucking temple around this power source or some shit and create weapons like the axe that Kong just fucking Excalibured the shit out of that one skull crawler’s skull fucking implies the fact that there is intelligent civilization amongst these fucking Kaiju and all that shit! I want to know more about this shit! Take that you fucking racist-ass white historian motherfuckers!

(Note: I definitely needed to use talk to text for much of this bit, because there was no way I was going to be able to contain all my excitement in just typing, alone, lmao)

——————————————

BRUH!!! Why y’all exiting g the HEAV without no breathing apparatus or lead suits or nothing!?!?! In previous movies, y’all implied that these Kaiju lived in environments in which their environments were hella radioactive compared to our own!!!

——————————————

Kong is s the true heir to the iron throne, Lmao!

——————————————

FUCKING CALLED IT!!!! THEY HAD GHIDORA’S REMAINS IN THERE SOMEWHERE!!!!

——————————————

OH FUCK!!!! Y’ALL AINT JUST SENDING OUT ALPHA VIBES WITH YOUR MECHA-GODZILLA!!!! YOU SOMEHOW USING GHIDORA’S HIVE MIND OR TELEPATHY SHIT TO DO IT!?!?!?! AAAWWWWW SHEEEEEET!!! Y’ALL ARE BONED NOW!!!! FUCKIN BONEROWNED!!!!

——————————————

Godzilla! My bruh! My dude! You didn’t HAVE TO get up right where that bridge was!!! 😂😂 Ya douche bag!!!

——————————————

At the same time, tho, I can just hear him going, “Ah! FUCK! NOT AGAIN!!! Sunova bitch!! Motherfuckin!! STOP BUILDING sHIT SO DAMN HIGH!!! Goddammit!”

——————————————

You know, with all the Bright twinkly lights in Hong Kong, I can’t help but think of the sequel to the original Gojira movie ( that I can’t remember the title of ,rn) where he was fucking triggered by fucking lights. And I wonder if this little scene where he’s stomping all through Hong Kong is a tribute to that or whatever. But I’m probably overthinking it.

[Sober Edit: it was Godzilla Raids Again]

——————————————

*GASP* HOLY SIHIIIT!!! The axe is made out of Godzilla skute!?!?! GOLY BALLS THAT’S NOT ONLY COOL BUT CONTRIBUTES MORE TO THE FACT THAT THESE KAIJU (likely Kong’s species, in particular) WERE REALLY FUCKING INTELLIGENT AMD TJOUGHT, “Imma beat this muthafucka with their own spiky thing! Bc that’s what screws us over, so, why WOULD’nt it hurt them!?!” I need SO MUCH MORE of this Kaiju/Kong culture studied and shit! HOLY FUCK!!!

It even fucking glows!! Like ... they managed to fucking piece together that its glow was a fucking warning sign like Sting or some shit!!!! Holy fuck!!!!

Also, how does that work? How are the skutes still connected even after dismemberment???

 ——————————————

NO FUCKIN WAY WRE YOU—AAAAAAAAHHH!!! Excalibur that shit my boi!!!!

——————————————

That made me laugh WAY FUCKIN harder that it should have!!!!

——————————————

Y’all really ganna try to shoot at a kid!?! REALLY!?!?!??!

——————————————

GAWD, I’m so glad I impulse bought these oatmeal bites from Dominos! 🤤😋

[Sober Edit: I have no idea how my autocorrect managed to convert “Parmesan” to “oatmeal,” but okay! 😆😅]

——————————————

——————————————

“There can only be one alpha,”

Really! You really gotta bring your toxic masculinity into a fuckin monster fight, my dude!?!

——————————————

Kong said, “Yeet! YEET SELF!!!”

——————————————

I am living for the feral fight scenes!!!!

——————————————

Kong’s expression , tho! 🤣🤣🤣

Like, “Can you ducking NOT, Godzilla?!? Can you, like, fucking chill??!!? Aight, fine! ASDASHKLSDJKLDZJL ADKLKDZDJ!!!!!!”

——————————————

Awwwww! Godzilla let Kong go, bc he knows what it’s like to be the last of his species! 🥺🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭😭

Yaaaaaay! Kong has a new home!!

——————————————

WELP!!! I fucking loved this movie, and I highly recommend it to everyone!!!

[redxblueihateloveyou]

What would you say are Rin and Haru's biggest flaws, individually?

Hmmm... I think when it comes to Haru, it’s firstly his stubborness, like he’s one of those people who would rather go broke, than budge from their life principles, which is not necessarily bad in my opinion, but it’s just very impractical and sometimes can lead to, well.. season 2 kind of thing, when you know... you gotta think about your future and realize that in reality you can’t be “fully free” in life, or like how you gonna pay the bills haha (like I skipped school a lot like him too, but this kind of thing doesn’t really matter if you can pass anyway, cause you smart without them and like reading, but after school you still gotta do smth, and even tho I undestand the whole “turning smth I adore into profession can make me hate it” dilemma, there’s still ways of figuring out how to go around it, which thanks to Rin he did, so it’s all ok).

But that was like s1-2 Haru’s problem, now he’s completely changed and grew up so nicely and behaves like an adult and does everything he needs to do, once he realized what his dream is, plus he didn’t even faulter after the Albert thing and I was so proud of him, I just didn’t expect such radical growth tbh, so it’s getting harder to find the flaws in him lol

The second one (and that once again not now!Haru related), but it’s been mentioned in the books too is his unwillingness to accept help. He’s like a real tough cookie, when it comes to this. Like the only two people who can make him do it and whom he allows to are Rin and Nagisa. And that's mainly because they manage to do it in a way that doesn’t hurt his dignity, I think. Cause like with Makoto for example, Haru stated that every time he tries to help him, he does it in a way, that makes him feel pathetic and weak, like Makoto is pitying him. And I don’t know if anybody ever experienced this, but when you feel like someone pities you, normal people’s pride just won’t allow to accept any help like this, and when it comes to ppl like Haru (and coming from a person like this xD), he’d rather die somewhere in a dumpster, than accept it haha. Which leads to situations like “I’ll let all Makoto’s mom food rot in the fridge, but won’t touch it, even if I starve and pass out.. cause I have my own rice, you bitch” haha

And I know it’s kinda a bad trait to have maybe, but I understand it. Plus it’s really mostly past Haru related, I mean, after the last movie, when they released a scene, when Haru himself went to ask Ryuuji to train him (well, in his own savage way, ofc and disrespectfully in the middle of the night haha, but still), I kinda think he’s dealing with this real good and gonna be okay. But in case something too drastic happens, everyone knows they should call Rin lmao, but now it’s okay, since he’s gonna be always near us anyways:)

Rin... well, his biggest problem in my opinion is the fact that he’s complitely oblivious when it comes to reading people’s feelings. And I mean, most might think that’s it no biggy and just a cool trick to have, but no needed in general, but to be honest it can really help you in life, and in Rin’s case, literally half of his problems wouldn’t even be there in the first place. 

I know, it’s very ironic, since he’s obsessed with watching melodramas and it’s really funny in moments, like when he thinks Gou is into Momo or smth like that... like him being clueless about other ppl is pretty harmless. But when it comes to his personal love life it’s just, it gets sad and just absurd. Like okay, he didn’t get that Haru didn’t want to let him go and that he was heartbroken seeing him cry (although since when Haru runs after people, and physically refuses to let them go idk), but he also apparently thought that Haru asking him to call him was just him being polite... and even after everything was resolved and Haru dropped the new team and everything, just to say that without him he doesn’t even need swimming, and after knowing that Haru wasn’t even swimming all these years... he still didn’t get what it was about. And let me just remind you, that he returned home on each holiday with a thought that Haru didn’t want to see him and when Gou said that it killed me, it seriously killed me!

He wants to call Haru, but then he doesn’t, cause “what if he disturbs him”... when Haru literally said to his face that he can’t wait to see him again, when they went to their sakura date, when Haru was all “pls come back soon”... but nah, Rin’s brain still went “he doesn’t want to hear you, let me pine here”.

He fucking thought that Haru called him and ran to him in the middle of the night... because he was intersted in Gou. I’m... shoot me, pls.

I literally know only two fictional characters who were oblivious to this extent. And the other one had to die, reincarnate, and be on the verge of dying again to realise this and only after he was told openly by another person “bitch ya blind”, so I honestly do not know how do we deal with this here lmao

The second one (and that once again mostly about past Rin and I think it’s fine in that age)... he was a drama queen, he’s like “I quit!!!!!!!!” and he throws his goggles and he kicks the trash bins and squeezes and throws cans around, but we all know that he just needs to calm down a bit and he’s gonna keep going xD And that’s perfectly fine, I mean, I have such days, too, but the problem is that many people around him actually take his words seriously, so like, idk... I get it, everyone gets emotional, but maybe be careful about throwing words like “I never have to swim with you ever again” out there, some things are hard to forget, even when they’re said in the heat of the moment. Like, did you ever like say smth in the middle of the fight that you didn’t mean, but just cause you knew it would hurt the other? This is like very common, but still wouldn’t recommend xD And it applies to both of them actually, like Mr.”What dream? What future?” is no better haha, although Rin still wins the crown, cause in s1 he was offended by literally everyone, and he was like little Godzilla all cause he thought Haru didn’t want him back lmao. Which really leads us back to his first and only problem:D

P.S. Their biggest flaws tbh were just like a normal part of growing up thing in my opinion. I just feel like they were both extra in their own kind of ways back then, but now... looking at them now, the way they talk, the way they behave.. I mean, they grew up so nicely and their characters progressed so nicely, that I don’t even know what flaws they have now.. well, except for Rin still not getting anything, when it comes to Haru’s feelings. He was like “you’re the one for me” and Haru went “same” and Rin went “hahaha well, okay, we must not say that, do you want me to show you how to put your seat down?” and then he fell asleep... yeah #EXTREMELYSLOWBURN #YOUMIGHTDIEWATCHINGTHEMBUTITSOKAY #TOTALLYWORTHIT

I’m just literally waiting for them in 2021 to have a scene from the memes:

Person A: I love you.

Person B *is heartbroken*: Who is You? Do I even know him?

Person A *points at B*: No. You. I’m in love with you.

Person B *turns around to see that there’s no one behind him and starts crying* Well, of course you’d love this beautiful piece of air, before you loved me.

Person A: Jesus fucking christ on a pogo stick...

Fate and Phantasms #97: Nightingale

Today on Fate and Phantasms, we’re making everyone’s favorite medical practitioner and biting enthusiast, Florence Nightingale! The good Ms. Flo is the most skilled nurse in Chaldea, with a variety of techniques to deal with disease and ill health on and off the battlefield. She’s not afraid to use them, so try not to get sick.

Check out her build breakdown below the cut, or her character sheet over here!

Next up: RUN! It’s a creature legally distinct from Godzilla!

Race and Background

Nightingale’s a Human, and the variant version gives her +1 Wisdom and Charisma, as well as Insight proficiency and the Crossbow Expert feat. Some settings allow for pistols, but some don’t, and we’re playing it safe here. That feat means you can attack multiple times in a turn with a crossbow, attack within melee range without disadvantage, and if you’re holding a crossbow in your off hand and another weapon in your main hand, you can attack with the weapon as an action and the crossbow as a bonus action.

Nightingale might be a nurse, but she spent most of her time patching up wounds in the army, and the Soldier background gives her proficiency with Athletics and Intimidation, both things she pretty good at.

Ability Scores

Make sure your Wisdom is as high as possible for the best medicine checks and spellcasting. Make your Dexterity the second highest to multiclassing, damage, and to keep your AC up (that’s not exactly heavy armor). Your Charisma is next, you can be “persuasive” when you want to be. And by that I mean you’re terrifying. You may be pretty lucid, but you’re still a berserker; that means you’re hard to take down, and that means your Constitution should be next. Your Strength is pretty low. We don’t need it, but you’re still a berserker, so we’re dropping Intelligence instead. You don’t really care about topics other than medicine, so it’s not like you’ll be using it that much.

Class Levels

1. Cleric 1: Shockingly, the nurse is a Cleric. However, you know the best way to avoid infections to kill anything that could infect you, which definitely makes you more of a War cleric than a life one. As a war cleric, you start out proficient in martial weapons, which means we don’t have to jump through hoops to get your hand crossbow like we did with Shirou’s weapon. You’re also a War Priest, meaning a number of times per day equal to your wisdom modifier you can attack as a bonus action after attacking with your main action. This means you can still have two attacks per turn without having to dual wield like your feat wants you to.

You also learn Spells that you can cast and prepare using your Wisdom. You also get Domain Spells, which always count as prepared and you don’t have to spend prep time getting, like Divine Favor and Shield of Faith. The former makes your gun run a little hotter with radiant damage for up to a minute, and the latter gives a creature extra combat awareness, boosting their AC for up to 10 minutes.

You can also prepare spells outside your domain; healing spells are an obvious choice, but you should also check out Detect Poison and Disease and Purify food and Drink to make sure you have some antidotes on you.

Finally, you also get cantrips. Guidance adds 1d4 to an ability score, so long as they follow your directions for fluids and bedrest. Mending puts two things back together (it’s intended for nonliving things, but I’m sure it works fine on limbs too). Spare the Dying is what you’re actually supposed to use when people’s limbs come off, stabilizing creatures at 0 hp so they don’t have to worry about death saves.

2. Cleric 2: Second level clerics can Channel Divinity, either Turning Undead to make those that fail a wisdom save of DC 8 plus your wisdom modifier plus your proficiency, or making a Guided Strike, adding 10 to your attack roll. Some times the most effective way to end a disease is to end the person it’s afflicting.

3. Cleric 3: At third level you get second level spells, like Magic Weapon and Spiritual Weapon. Despite the similar names, the former improves your existing weapon a bit and makes it magical to avoid resistances, and the latter makes a brand new weapon that you control as a bonus action each turn. Along with your domain spells, you also get the performance enhancing drug Enhance Ability, the tranquilizer Hold Person, and more Protection from Poison.

4. Cleric 4: Use your first Ability Score Improvement to become a Healer. Now when you stabilize a creature using a healer’s kit they regain 1 HP, and you can spend a use of a healers kit to heal a creature for 1d6+4 HP, plus an extra amount of HP equal to their maximum number of hit dice. This healing can only be done once per short rest for each creature. Doctors gonna doctor.

Also grab Thaumaturgy so your Angel’s Yell can carry further.

5. Fighter 1: Bouncing over to fighter gives you a fighting style, like Unarmed Fighting, which gives you unarmed attacks that deal bludgeoning damage, but more so if you’re not holding your crossbow at the same time. Guns are nice, but sometimes you’ll have to get physical. You also gain a Second Wind, letting you heal yourself as a bonus action. This means you can save your regular materials for your party members.

6. Fighter 2: Second level fighters get an Action Surge, making it a lot easier to heal and shoot people at the same time once per short rest by adding an extra action to your turn.

7. Fighter 3: Grab the Banneret as your subclass to gain a Rallying Cry. Now using your Second Wind also heals your party members for a little bit as well! It’s not much compared to healing spells, but sometimes you run out of slots.

8. Cleric 5: Back in cleric now, your Turn Undead becomes Destroy Undead, instantly killing any undead monsters with a CR of less than 1/2 when they fail their save. You also get third level spells like Crusader’s Mantle and Spirit Guardians. The former causes everyone’s guns to run hot with radiant damage even if they’re using a sword, and the latter summons a couple angelic guards to protect your patients. If you find yourself in a lot of close-quarters combat, you can also use Spirit Shroud for some extra enemy control and damage.

9. Cleric 6: At sixth level you can Channel Divinity twice per short rest, and gain an new option to do so. You can bestow your War God’s Blessing on nearby creatures, spending your reaction to add 10 to their attack roll.

10 Cleric 7: Seventh level clerics get fourth level spells, like your domain spells Freedom of Movement and Stoneskin. The former helps you gnaw off your arm like a rabid coyote to escape capture, and the latter gives you all the relevant benefits of raging without stopping you from casting spells. By that, I mean it gives a creature resistance to nonmagical physical damage types. But you’ll have plenty of competition for your concentration, because you can also cast Aura of Life and Aura of Purity this level. One gives creatures in it resistance to necrotic damage and instantly revives non-hostile creatures who’ve been downed, and the other prevents diseases, weakens poisons, and empowers your party against most status effects.

11. Cleric 8: At this level, you can finally use an ASI to improve an ability score, bumping up your Wisdom for better healing and more bonus action attacks. Your Destroy Undead also bumps up to CR 1, and your Divine Strike makes your weapon attacks a little stronger once per turn. Turns out guns are stronger than crossbows, who knew?

12. Cleric 9: Ninth level clerics get fifth level spells. Flame Strike can be one of those neat little bottle-shaped grenades, and you also get Hold Monster for an even stronger tranquilizer. Beyond that and some healing spells, there isn’t really much at fifth level that screams Nightingale to me, but feel free to play it by ear.

13. Cleric 10: At tenth level you can use Divine Intervention to ask God for a bit of assistance in keeping your dumbass party alive. You can use this once per long rest, but also have to wait a week after it succeeds. Since you’re a full level of spells behind regular spellcasters right now, calling in a favor from time to time might come in handy.

You also pick up your last cantrip; Toll the Dead is another solid way to finish off diseased or injured enemies before they can spread whatever’s affecting them to the party, dealing more damage to creatures who are missing HP.

14. Cleric 11: Eleventh level clerics get sixth level spells, and like last time there’s not much specifically at this level that caught my eye. But that’s only if you’re playing the character religiously close to canon, and you probably shouldn’t be if you want to jive with the rest of the party. Or maybe you’re all playing expies of other characters, idk live your life.

15. Cleric 12: Use this ASI to bump up your Dexterity for better gunplay and AC.

16. Cleric 13: Now you have seventh level spells, and unlike the last few levels, there’s spell outside of your usual healing you might want to check out. Temple of the Gods. lets you build your own temple within a cube of 120′. It lasts 24 hours per cast, but casting it once per day for a year in the same spot makes it permanent. Inside the temple, extraplanar entities can be kept out of it if they fail a charisma save, and they also get 1d4 subtracted from their attacks, checks, and saves while inside. The temple is immune to divinations spells, and the temple also boosts the power of healing spells cast inside of it. Great for giving your keep it’s own medical wing.

17. Cleric 14: Fourteenth level clerics have a Destroy Undead that affects creatures of CR 3 or lower, and their Divine Strike becomes a little more powerful as well. You just learned how to build hospitals from nothing, not every level can be a massive leap forward.

18. Cleric 15: You pick up eighth level spells this level. By this level, most spells are a bit too flashy to fit into Nightingale’s toolkit, but Holy Aura still manages to do it. Creatures within 30′ of you glow, and get advantage on all saves. On top of that, attacking creatures have disadvantage, and fiends and undead have to make a constitution save or become blinded for the duration of the spell.

19. Cleric 16: Use your last ASI to bump up your Constitution for more HP and better concentration saves.

20. Cleric 17: At seventeenth level, your Destroy Undead gets even stronger, you get ninth level spells, and most importantly, you become an Avatar of Battle, granting you a permanent resistance to nonmagical weapons. Effectively, you’re always raging, but still have access to your spells.

Pros:

You’re something of a tough nut to crack, especially for a healer. You’ve got quite a bit of health for a cleric, ways to heal yourself and the party at the same time, and a sort of permanent rage damage resistance going on at the end of it.

Despite being a healer, you’re also pretty skilled in ranged combat, with plenty of ways to add more damage to your crossbow bolts. You might not have multiple attacks like most fighters, but you make your shots count. This also means you don’t have to be quite as deep in combat as your standard “mace and shield” cleric.

The healer feat and your Rallying Cry give you access to nonmagical healing. This is most likely to be a niche skill, but sometimes you’ll have to deal with anti-magic zones or low-magic settings, in which case you’ll still be able to shine.

Cons:

Despite us putting several levels and feats into making your crossbow good, you’ll still always have to deal with the fact that it’s nowhere near as strong as a fighter’s would be. It’s fine for emergencies, but you probably won’t be the standout damage dealer of the group.

Bumping over to fighter for a couple levels also prevents you from getting the Cleric capstone, and they have a really good one. Guaranteed divine intervention is nothing to sneeze at.

You don’t really wear armor, and you don’t get anything like monks or barbarians do to offset that fact, so if you’re playing to character your AC is abysmal. Like I said earlier though, feel free to put on a breastplate or something, there’s no wrong way to play D&D. Except for in person, and not wearing a mask.

Rambling time.

Just watched Godzilla vs Kong.

I don't read the novel yet but, I just don't understand why the human in Godzilla side of story is.... so one dimensional??? And barely add anything to the movie?

Also, why do we have to follow the roadtrip of Russell's daughter and her friends rather than Russell? despite the underwhelming human plot in KOTM, I am genuinely interested in his character progression (as a non believer to, maybe not a believer, but at least someone that try to do right by Serizawa' life work i.e, the Titan). I was hoping the movie will have more infos on the inner-working of Monarch post-KotM and how it approaches and balances both worlds, how it monitors the Titan, how the Monarch interpreted Godzilla's action, how the giant lizard take care of his dominion's?? Alas.

We get, well, this tiresome trio. Things happen to them that serves as exposition but it's just so clumsy? Evil corporation is evil corporation, but that doesnt mean that they lack the agency to convince us viewers of their purpose, rather than spouting cliche villain lines to the misunderstood underdog.

They keep adding in these new human characters, rather than progressing with the genuinely sympathetic ones (which unfortunately had been killed, that is, Cranston's Joe Brody and Watanabe's Serizawa) and the could-be-more (Russell sr., Vivienne, Dr.Chen). Sure the novel expanded them more, but it's such a shame the way the human translated into the movies).

Also, has a tiny beef with how one-sided it is that most sympathetic scenes went to Kong's. And how all Godzilla's appearances are set in a mostly evil tone? Which felt like a disservice to KotM.

About the Kong Whisperer. Aren't the lady science and Jia also from Monarch? I don't understand why isn't she and Russell communicating or relaying information? Are they from different branches? But both of their subjects have this epic dispute so why aren't they working together? Does the caring of their Titan supercede other human's lives?

Kong got this supposedly loving people that care for him in Monarch yet they barely showed any emotions when most of their fleets are destroyed, which I assumed have a lot of collateral damage, and the disgraced prof lose a brother yet it barely touched on, even though when he said Science Lady is an old friend and dismissive of him especially when he showed fear to Kong (which, understandable since KotM), calling him a coward and really, it feels like these people keeps Kong captive in the pretense of safety and self-righteousness?

Or maybe I'm the one not paying attention. Sigh.

I mean, the first scene we saw Russell and he and his people feels like it is doing a lot more to mitigate public fear.

Furthermore, Apex , Mechagodzilla, and Serizawa's son? Deserve a better storytelling rather than a footnote.

Idk, I want to like this movie. But KotM has this certain colourful charm that GvK lacks. It feels like there's a movie missing between GvK and KotM. Wanted to enjoy the monster fight but my enjoyment is diminished by my overactive brain.

[malewifehenrycooldown]

I really liked GvK but something was thoroughly missing from the film and I’m kinda obsessing over it a bit and I want to talk about it. I warn you I have incoherent ramblings and unresolved conclusions because I’m not a writer and concluding character arcs? what’s that?

(Major Spoilers below! Please Proceed with caution)

Ren Serizawa. Just... his character wasn’t written or even explored.

Firstly his name. Presumably he’s related to Dr. Serizawa (Ken Watanabe’s Character, who died in KOTM). It could be a reference to the 1954 movie/be an Easter egg, but at the same time I could not shake off the feeling that this is Dr. Serizawa’s son.

What bothered me the most is that he literally got no screen time. Meaning, we have NO CLUE about his motives, goals, ideals and personality. (I get that there’s so much you can put into a movie but... come on guys... you can do better than this. Plus... representation fucking matters.)

The only real motive we get from him is during the testing of Mechagodzilla, he says to Simmons that ‘it’s not ready yet’ or ‘it’s too early yet to use’. And that he worries what could happen if too much power is applied to it.

In the film the reason why Simmons has this Mechagodzilla is made in order to re-establish mankind’s place at the top of the food chain, above the Titians. Very capitalist when you think about it.

I didn’t really get a sense for what kind of relationship Simmons and Ren had, it was certainly mutually beneficial but they didn’t explore where they differ from their ideas.

To address the big giant Titan sized elephant in the room, Dr. Serizawa in the movies has expressed his fascination and concern for Godzilla as a force of Nature and as a creature of Mother Nature. He reveres Gojira, he’s in awe of this giant monster that goes against everything he knows about the natural world. When Godzilla was weak and in desperate need of help, he took the opportunity to be the one to take a nuclear bomb to re-energize the Titan. At the cost of HIS LIFE. He died trying to save a creature he’s been fascinated with since he joined monarch.

Now take this context into consideration and apply it to Ren. Which is something the movie never really did but I’m gonna implement my ‘fix-it fic brain’ to work here.

This could go one of two ways.

Direction 1:

Ren, upon hearing the death of his father gets upset, angry and holds a grudge against Godzilla. He’s mad because in his mind, Godzilla is responsible for taking the life of his father. Even though his dad made the decision to save the Titan, in Ren’s eyes Godzilla killed him.

In retaliation he (and Simmons) made Mechagodzilla in order to be a replacement of Godzilla. That could go toe-to-toe with him and take him down. It’s a win/win situation for them both because Simmons can use Mechagodzilla to re-establish mankind’s place on the food chain and Ren can avenge the death of his father/be the one to take down Godzilla once and for all.

Mechagodzilla in this context can work as a mockery and an honouring of his dad’s life work and obsession. A sick twisted version of the king of the monsters. It would be a monster that wouldn’t need to have a nuclear bomb to re-energize it, it would just need various renewable energy and repairs. And he’s at a safe distance controlling the monster.

Idk what would go from there but maybe there’s a point where Simmons causally mentions to use Mechagodzilla to frame Godzilla. That Mechagodzilla can wreck a city overnight and then pin the blame on Godzilla..

But maybe something about that conversation rubs him the wrong way. Using Mechagodzilla to kill innocent people all to frame the real Titan? Sounds very extreme. Maybe they argue about it too, which allows you to do a redemption arc for Ren.

How said redemption arc goes I’m not entirely sure but I’m sure people can come up with something.

Direction 2: and this is kind of my favourite one.

Ren doesn’t resent Godzilla. Ren doesn’t resent the fact that his dad DEDICATED his life's work to understanding Godzilla. What Ren resents is the possibility of a Monster Zero situation repeating AGAIN. This version of Ren, in his eyes, believes that the whole Monster Zero situation is what killed his dad. His dad saved Godzilla’s life but because Godzilla was not only defeated by King Ghidorah, but also the Oxygen Destroyer made the situation even worse.

This version of Ren, doesn’t want a repeat of that situation. Reminder that in the first Godzilla Movie, the military TOOK A NUKE to SAN FRANCISCO AND WANTED TO BLOW IT UP TO KILL MONSTERS THAT FEED OFF ON NUCLEAR ENERGY.

Weapons of mass destruction against giant monsters, DO JACK SHIT.

So... what do you do? YOU BUILD A GIANT MECHA INSTEAD BABY.

Mechagodzilla in this context is to be an aid, an assistance just in case a Monster Zero 2.0 Situation where to happen on earth. His dad technically saved the world by saving Godzilla, so in a way it’s kind of giving back to the very thing that saved the world or something idk.

Here, Simmons and Ren can have some common ground here. This could be handy for both of their careers.

But they both clash regarding on HOW to use it. Ren believes that Humans are on the same plane as Titans, and that both sides need to respect each other’s perspective of order. a Yin/Yang balance. Simmons? He’s using Mechagodzilla as a means of making profits, making Silicon Valley happy and also to ensure humans stay above at the top of the food chain, above titans.

This is something Ren doesn’t like. In his eyes, Mechagodzilla’s creation is a force of good, and while using the skull of Monster Zero to do the Neurological link isn’t a good idea, his intentions to use it for good are indeed there. The Monster that tried to destroy the world, is being used to keep the world safe once again. (it’s naive yes but what matters is the intention here)

Also the start of the movie when Godzilla attacks the Apex Facility, that moment is Ren looking at Godzilla and going ‘how can a majestic creature my dad revere go so wild?’

I guess in that moment it gives Ren more motivation to see Mechagodzilla through. What If Godzilla went into a Primal Rage and attacked humans? What then? Having Mechagodzilla in your back-pocket could potentially be useful.

uhhhh something something, Ren believes that the while the Hollow Earth trip can be beneficial, he’s also really worried that things can go wrong extremely quickly, plus like ‘we don’t know what this hollow earth energy is capable of’

Maybe Ren can do a thing to Simmons as a sort of ‘fuck you’ or something or rather idk.

uhhh that’s all my thoughts and stuff for now because i’m not the best writer and I’m not that great at developing characters that have VERY LITTLE material to work with, let alone VERY MINIMAL screen time.

I just... really wanted more to Ren, he seems really interesting and I wish the movie took the time to establish his motives and character more cause at this point why have him in the movie at all if you’re not going to properly flesh him out?

I’m just... a little underwhelmed by the lack of Ren’s Character.
