getting eddie to eat his fruits and veggies is like pulling teeth, we all know this.
but appalachian eddie is a different breed.
there's no evidence to prove the munson's don't have a small garden behind the trailer. give that boy a big ole ripe tomato and he'll bite into it like an apple. wayne will slice a couple tomatoes and cucumbers and they'll both eat them off a plate with just salt and pepper.
a thick slice of salt and peppered tomato with some mayo slapped on white bread and eddie's got himself a tomato sandwich for lunch

In the modern AU, David's school bag is an absolute mess.
The bag is almost always half open with chargers, books, and copies hanging out of it. When it is actually open, it is simply a disaster. Nothing is organised or clean. Everything is just tossed in there because this man is in too much of a hurry to get to his activities to care about what's inside that bag.
However, when Sarah sees this, she's close to having a fucking heart attack at the sight. She sits him down to make him watch as she pulls everything out of his bag. Worksheets from months prior, notes from the newsies, gum wrappers, pencils that are basically stubs at this point are pulled out as well. Davey was embarrassed, but thankful it wasn't as messy as he thought it'd be when he was confronted about it.
Sarah has now made this a monthly thing because she does not trust her brother to stay organised and collected for that long.

We as a society do not talk enough about how Kaz Brekker, Dirtyhands himself, the Bastard of the Barrel, carved an entire underground tunnel from his club ... To his besties house
There is no explanation for this other than that he is king softy
Like just imagine how much money that would cost, and how much work. Like sure bro is rich as fuck but like be fr, there is no way he would do all that for crime and gang business, it's just not practical. Like take the surface roads it costs nothing and it's probably not that much slower
Like bro fr just wanted a secret short cut so he could drop in on his babes whenever he wants and never be seen by the masses
Got a reputation to uphold after all
Can't have the pigeons seeing Dirtyhands taking another trip to the Geldstraat to visit his favourite boys

hot take ??
the only reason people say that "mafuyu and tsukasa have nothing in common" when presented with mafukasa parallels is because they equate mafuyu and tsukasa being similar to "tsukasa has depression" because the fandom equates mafuyu's personality to being depressed and nothing else.
it doesn't help that people (primarily younger people in the fandom) who DO believe in mafukasa parallels end up making the mistake of portraying tsukasa as depressed because as of right now he is not (although it's possible he was in past because of his Very Unclear Middle School Backstory but that's irrelevant)
anyways, mafuyu and tsukasa are narrative foils because their core personalities are built off of the concept of wanting to make the people around them— especially their families— happy.
they both developed personalities at a young age based on someone they looked up to. for tsukasa, it was seiichi amami's performance that inspired him to be a star— a hero that could cheer anyone up. for mafuyu, it was her mother taking care of her that inspired her to be a nurse— and you can see the similarities from there.
for mafuyu, her identity would first come into conflict when her mother expressed her want for mafuyu to be a doctor— suddenly, "everyone's" happiness didn't match what she wanted to do, leaving her in a state of disorder and eventual depression.
for tsukasa, his identity was something he nearly forgot in its entirety at the start of the main story— becoming arrogant and fully absorbed in a hero persona, forgetting the kind person he truly is. furthermore, his current character arc seems to be foreshadowing that what "being a star" to him is going to be called into question— maybe it is something more than just being the main character that saves everyone.
their insecurities are incredibly similar.
in mafuyu's first mixed, mafuyu feels insecure towards ichika because unlike ichika, she feels as if her lyrics have no genuine meaning to be expressed to other people— despite them being her very real feelings. this is brought up again in her second mixed as well.
in tsukasa's third focus event, something similar happens. when watching seiichi's performance, he thinks that his acting is "real" and feels inferior towards him, which is ironic because tsukasa has been method acting this whole time. when tsukasa is acting out rio or bartlett or really anyone at this point in the story, it's not just those characters— it's a reflection of his traumas.
just like mafuyu, tsukasa undermines his passions he's poured his feelings into because someone else's work is more genuine in his eyes.
now, then, foils have many similarities and parallels (and i could honestly list a lot more), but how i define them is that they usually have some kind of major branching difference that MAKES them foils.
for mafuyu and tsukasa it's pretty straightforward.
mafuyu's people pleasing behavior comes from external expectations and pressures— her mother's demands.
tsukasa's people pleasing behavior comes internally, from himself— if he can't meet his own standards, if he can't be the perfect big brother or the perfect star, then he is nothing.
and even then, there's some overlap.
tsukasa's behavior was indirectly encouraged by his mother praising him for being a "good big brother" over the phone instead of asking him if he was okay while home alone.
mafuyu's terrified to be herself around other people because she doesn't want to worry or bother them— she doesn't want to be a burden— and projects her mother's expectations onto them, not realizing that they would prefer the real mafuyu if they knew the truth.
and the concept of mafukasa being foils is most perfectly and blatantly portrayed in these two cards.
mafuyu, the marionette, sitting limp on the floor— puppeteered by her mother's demands and donning a mask to hide her true self.
tsukasa, the jester, standing above everything else— puppeteering silenced plushies— his feelings. he's not being completely honest with himself, and he doesn't even realize it.
mafuyu has cut her strings and ripped her mask in half. she has acknowledged her true feelings and expressed them to her mother, even if she had to run away in the end.
tsukasa has not yet cut his.

friendly reminder for anyone who messages me: please specify what you want to talk about. if i get just 'hello' or 'hi' i honestly dont feel like moving the conversation forward. it feels like im forced to interact, and I wasn't always comfortable with that, especially if I don't know you at all.
also, messaging me hourly with just saying the same two things I will be fully convinced you're a bot and not a real human. 😅
edit: asks are always welcomed. i may not always answer them due to me not having the right thoughts in mind to reply, im busy doing work, or i just did a quick glance in my inbox and forgot about it. i know i have asks that have been sitting for months, but i hope to get around to them.

"I see you, Nimona, and you are not alone"
its so important to me because it feels personal. Yes, he is talking to Nimona directly, he´s saving her life in particular, he's accepting her at her worst, he sees the pain and the hatred and all thats aching, he's seeing "the monster", the reject, the other, and still he decides they have the right to keep on living. That one single line means so much to me because, as i see it, he's not only accepting Nimona as an individual, but everyone that can relate to her. It gives me so much hope and so much joy and makes me feel like I do have the right to keep on living!
Yes, he -a fictional character- is accepting her -a fictional character-, but there are plenty of real people involved in creating them, and I feel like it's them -real people- telling me I deserve it: to be accepted, to belong, to live.
"I see you, Nimona, and you are not alone" its just so important to me<3
