So I read Jane Eyre after I watched a confusing adaptation (2011, I literally never figured out who Adele was), and hearing a lot about it from friends. I expected to hate Rochester. I also expected to hate the final ship.

and I DID hate Rochester! He was such a jerk! The chapter where he proposes was awful. Why is he making her believe he’s going to marry Blanche if he’s in love with Jane? What is wrong with this man?!?

But then I met St. John Rivers and I was so extremely and totally creeped out that I honestly thought: 

BRING ME BACK THE BIGAMIST

Cheered when she went back to find Rochester and then married him. Did not hate the final ship at all.

So I guess my assessment of men is mediated by the goodness of other men within book? Maybe I like Henry Crawford of Mansfield Park because the Bertrams suck so much? Maybe I like Gilbert Markham because the other men in Tenant are the bottom of the barrel? Like the scum under the bottom of the barrel or the bugs hiding under the barrel...

I don’t know. I try to be objective. But then I think the point of Mansfield Park is that you start to root for Henry and Fanny, or at least for Henry to be better. If I believe Gilbert is as bad as Arthur, than the ending of Tenant is just so freaking depressing. I guess I’m accepting the world the author built, she tells me Gilbert is essentially a good guy who messed up but is capable of growth, I’m in.

But I guess who is really objective anyway? As much as I true to use quotes and sources, are we not all half running on vibes?

More Delilah lore based on the fact that I'm an idiot: I spent about 200 hours of the game pronouncing ED-E as E-Dee, rather than y'know the way it's actually written, Ed-E.

It wasn't until I heard Whitley say it out loud for the first time in ED-E's Lonesome Road audio logs that I realized that it was supposed to be like... Eddy short for Edward, and not Edie short for Edith. The whole time I'd been calling ED-E she/her #girl, and I was genuinely so surprised that everyone else in the game thought ED-E was a boy robot lmfao.

So that's absolutely exactly what happens to Delilah in their canon. They just assumed ED-E was a girl, entirely because their grip on basic phonics is tenuous at best, and ED-E ended up being very happy about it! So even after Delilah learns that they were originally Eddie, they're still Edie now. :)

I don't think ED-E is a complicated enough robot to have a concept of human gender identity (they're described as "not having true AI" ingame although based on their actual actions ingame that's debatable lmfao) so Im not saying that ED-E is a trans girl robot* or anything BUT I do think that ED-E would really like being offered a new personalized sense of identity by their new friend. Their arc is about wanting purpose and belonging with a human companion and I think it would make them really happy to have this new human in their life IMMEDIATELY give them a new nickname that they'd never had before, and perceived them as having a human gender- a girl! Clearly this human really likes them and regards them as an individual because they're seeing and referring to ED-E in ways nobody else ever has!

They have a unique bond together!!!!!! ED-E must be so special to this person! They feel special!!!!!!

Anyway don't mind me jus crying and thinking about ED-E. I just really like robots ok y'all I love robot characters and ED-E is so cute and sweet, all they want is to be loved and appreciated by someone.... They are my beloved... ED-E My Love!!!!

Mob Psycho Season 2 re-watch thoughts

Whelp that was intense!!!

Okay first, watching Shigeo cycle through all his 100% emotions was more gripping than I remember. And yep I am still fucking fascinated with 100% ecstasy.

There is still something so, so so soooo unnerving about the start to that fight. Shigeo leans into rage on purpose, which I didn't remember. And then when he gets to ecstasy/bliss before falling into sadness and then resignation...fuck. Even on the rewatch it's so intense. It's a lot all at once. SO many emotions ,and there is always this strange happiness I have for him, to get to experience ALL THAT but it's also so jarring.

Something that surprised me, was Shigeo's anger through most of the 3-4 episode finale just throughout it. I had watched many clips, but on the rewatch, he is legit just pissed the whole way through. He comes back a bit a few times but like, for the most part, he is mad. And I didn't really realize that before. He is showing so much emotion especially after the fire. Like yeah this scene didn't last long

But the emotions from it come through the whole rest of the finale. His argument with Serizawa, him finally snapping at Suzuki. All of it felt like he was holding onto that anger from earlier and not letting it go until he basically went to 100% on everything.

In a way Shigeo used that fight to process his own emotions probably, everything he had been holding in.

I also think that being able to actually feel those emotions, even if they were unstable, shows Shigeo's growth. The fact that he raises his voice in the finale, that he is assertive, that he realizes the responsibility he (and he makes this choice, I don't think he was forced into it) wants to take.

Okay, he was backed into a corner somewhat. But he could have taken the same out as S1. If he REALLY wanted to and asked Reigen, you know Reigen would have agreed.

Shigeo decided that he needed to take action, that he could help save the people he cared about. It nearly destroyed him which is a whole 'nother bucket of feels.

Also fuck now that I am thinking about the whole end scene, of Reigen.

Fuck what was he thinking? I mean, at this moment, he had to of thought Mob was dead....

And then after they found Mob he had gone further than anyone had seen him before. He was down for the count, completely spent. That's scary. To see someone you care about get to that place. Push themselves so far they can't even move. That's scary for Reigen, for Ritsu, for Teru—they all saw Shigeo as invincible. And at that point, where they find him, they realize that he's not.

He came within a breath of dying and that is something that weighs on anyones mind, let along two kids and Reigen (who okay, is an adult but he is only 25. I remember when I was 25...you're an adult. But still have a lot of life to learn).

But anyway.

Wonderful season.

I think it has the highest highs for me, but still not my favorite. Nothing compares to the finale for me.

I can't wait to get to confession arc.

i forgot if i mentioned here but i stopped keeping up w the orv webtoon a few months ago (even tho i had been following it since the beginning)... the reason is it was starting to get Really Good and i was like holy shit this is fucking good? i need to stop reading now so I don't spoil myself for the webnovel MFNDMDN LIKE MAYBE THIS IS A SILLY THOUGHT TO PPL BUT thats what my brain decided and i stopped... i left off at *checks* ep 172 apparently

[fzrticv]

okay, the last epsidoe was really good, probaly best ep of the show but..

I still have my grips, yes 8 ep wasn't enjoy, but the fast pacing still took me out of it, and made it very difficult to get attached I also think Heaven was put in way to early, I genera feel conflicted about it.

I think I still favor HB, its episodic approach, the focus on hellborn and hell solely. Made it also easier to explain as fantasy in my head. I had also more fun watching its episode...with...expectations.. but HB also has the benefit of being indie and not being bound to an overarching story, giving it more room to breath. ...but I'm also the person who's here cause of Fizz and Ozzie, without them I probably wouldn't even be here. I love Blitzo too don't me wrong.

”i mean… if your offering help…” lucia grinned. “id love your help stretching out my tight little holes.” the younger woman smirked, already working on undoing her jeans and pushing them down. lucia was a small woman, she was short and petite, he was correct she was tighter than average, which sometimes made things uncomfortable for lucia… especially when she was with a larger partner.

1.03: I Don't Want the World To See Me- Prison Scene

1.03 Missing Scenes Pre Police station

AO3

"Cause I don't think that they'd understand

When everything's made to be broken

I just want you to know who I am"

Cheering is loudly heard throughout the bar. Bottles smash to the ground to match the noise of fists clashing on flesh. One of the bar workers, who had just exited the men's room when the fight started, jumps in to break it up.

He grabs TK, pulls him off one of the guys, and throws him into a corner. TK's jacket was lost minutes ago. The worker opens his mouth to announce the cops are on their way when the noise of sirens echoes in the bar. TK gives one last spit by the other mens' feet. That's enough to warrant another attempted punch at his stomach, which he dodges. However, the other one does land a hit on his face just as the cops storm in.

TK is about to retaliate when an officer steps between them.

"That's enough," TK hears him say. He holds one hand up to TK as his other reaches behind him to grab his cuffs.

"You going to cooperate?" The officer asks him.

TK nods. 

He is destructive but not that destructive. He sucks in his lip and holds up his arms toward the officer, fingers closed around his palms. A few nights ago, he had a much different image of an officer cuffing him. This current one is much less pleasant. 

The officer places the metal around TK's wrists and tightens them.

"Get him outside," the other cop says as he grabs one of the other two. A third cop takes the other.

TK feels the officer's hand on his back as he pushes him toward the door.

"Have you had anything to drink tonight, son?" The officer whose cuffs he was in asks. They're now outside, standing by his cruiser.

"No," TK says. He sniffs and licks his now bleeding lip. Another officer gets out of the car.

"It'd be easier for us all if you're honest. How much have you had to drink?"

"I told you..." TK says quietly. "None." 

"So, you wouldn't mind if my partner here checked?" The officer asks.

TK shrugs and shakes his head.

He doesn’t know what they want from him. Do they want him to walk in a straight line? Say the ABCs backward? To be fair, he's not sure anyone can do sober anyway. He doesn't like the tone of the officer’s voice or the accusations and doesn't like how either of them looks at him. He's used to the kindness of a particular officer. He rolls his eyes at himself. Don't think about him. Don't think about him. 

Neither of the men believes him, so he’s not surprised when they take out the breathalyzer and ask him to blow.

The one administering it looks at it curiously when TK does, in fact, blow a 0.00. He shows the other officer, who sighs.

"Alright, we'll bring him to the station." He says, brows furrowed.  "See what they want to do."

He grabs TK's arm and opens the door by him. "Watch your head," he pushes TK's head down and guides him into the car. 

The ride is mostly quiet, besides a few calls on the radio. TK can feel the officers wanting to gossip about him, but he's too close to earshot, so they just look at each other as if talking telepathically. 

They bring TK in and have him sit at a desk. A few minutes later, a different officer gives him an ice pack. He doesn't remember when they took his belongings. The ice pack hander tells him to wait for another officer to be processed. TK starts to feel some regrets but at least he's feeling- something- and that was the whole point, wasn't it? 

"Reyes! Got an easy one for you," Officer Eriksen yells out to Carlos. He's new but above Carlos. A transfer from a different precinct. 

Carlos finishes the coffee he was nursing for a few minutes and walks over to him. 

"What is it?" 

"Bar fight. Nothing blew over the limit. Free to go"  He brings the bag of belongings in clear view. "A Tyler Kennedy." 

Tyler Kennedy. Carlos thinks. He doesn't know a Tyler Kennedy-wait!  

"Last name?" He tries to ask casually. 

"Strand."

Carlos' chest tightens a bit. He swallows hard. The fuck trouble did TK get into now and why does he care?  

" What.." Carlos clears his throat. "What happened?" 

"Bartender says he asked for mineral water. When she turned to get it, fight broke out between him and the two guys next to him. Other witnesses said he was provoking them, but who knows? Didn't throw the first punch but landed the first one."

"Provoked them?" Carlos asks. "How so?" He doesn't know TK well enough, but he doesn't seem like someone that would provoke others. 

Eriksen shrugs. "No clue. Called them ugly or something," He laughs. "He got them pretty good, though.”

"Where are they?" Carlos asks. 

Eriksen points behind him to the two men sitting by a desk, no longer cuffed. Carlos nods. It's certainly not the first time he's seen them here, but it's usually on the other end. The men look rough. TK definitely got more than a few hits in.

"They say they're not pressing charges. Kid probably embarrassed them."

"Yeah..." Carlos looks towards his desk where the man in a white shirt sits, an ice pack on his head.

"You know him or something?" Eriksen eyes Carlos curiously. He must've caught Carlos' yearning look.

Carlos clears his throat and stands up straight. He wipes any emotion off his face.  Or something..." Carlos sighs and takes the bag of belongings from Eriksen. He makes his way to his desk.

"Oh, that's cold," Mitchell says, coming up behind Eriksen. "What did Reyes do to you?"

"Huh?" He turns around towards her.

"That's the Strand kid, right?" She asks

"Uhh yeah. Tyler Strand?"

"They used to...hang out." She says, raising her brows. 

Eriksen catches on. "Ohhh shit."

"Yeah," Mitchell nods. "Payback is gonna be a bitch," She laughs.
