OH RIGHT i started to read the bsd manga after like, 2? 3? years of not touching it and every time dazai's shown i just get sad for some reason, also his eyes are sometimes colored in dark and sometimes light and i remember reading something regarding that symbolism on dazai's eyes somewhere, and i took note of it esp bc Asagiri has a particular way of drawing and shading eyes and i dont know how to word it properly i just got home from school

i really really like how blank and lifeless akutagawa's eyes look, theyre just fully shaded and look so dead, idk if im wording it correctly at all but each time he's shown i just look at his eyes and get unnerved

how kyoka's eyes were also just like his in her first appearance but when she started working at the ADA, esp when she and fukuzawa were having a staredown, her eyes were more detailed and bright, its cute and nice to see

my eyes teared up when she was about to sacrifice herself through crashing the carrier she was in into Moby Dick and i needed to pause and blink them away because i was in the middle of class (we had no subjects since it was our school fair and I decided to spend it reading the manga)

but yeah, dazai's eyes being sometimes dark but sometimes light. can someone explain that to me?

neurospicy was an activity enjoyed by much of the 21st century usamerican middle class, related to the contemporary practices of "astrology," "psychiatry," and "phrenology." Practitioners, known as "neurospices" (singular neurospex) would attempt to categorize people through observation and consultation with the "Diesemfive," their holy book. It is said a particularly skilled neurospex could perfectly and accurately divine the conditions of another person from a single tumblr post.

shawn's deep trust of lassiter keeps catching me so off-guard like when he's held captive and lassie and henry both turn up he tries to yell "carlton" not "dad" and when he sees a guy with a gun come into the restaurant he goes straight for lassie and keeps trying to get his attention instead of literally any of the other dozens of cops in the room with them and when he's telling someone to call the police he tells them to ask for lassiter, not jules, not vick, lassiter. like he spends all his time provoking lassie but the second there's danger there's literally no one else he trusts more

gotta say i love murph's specific tone and cadence for yelling "I DIDNT SAY ANYTHING WEIRD" which is in the same voice he said "YOU GUYS ARE GONNA SAY SOMETHING WEIRD ON PURPOSE AND THE VULTURES GONNA KILL US"

hyperfixating on old media sucks because in order to engage with the community you must risk spoilers. I NEED to see memes. I NEED to see peoples' takes. or my hyperfixation will die a sad and lonely death and I don't want that!!!

You sit down to watch the pilot of Psych for the first time, and I emerge from the couch cushions beside you. You watch in horror as I begin to infodump about all the characters and their innermost complexities. The theme song starts playing from nowhere as I get comfortable. You cannot get rid of me.

Only you know your relationship with your god. Don’t second guess it.

It saddens me to see posts on here and on other sites about how having a causal relationship with your god is disrespectful and you shouldn’t give them nicknames. That just makes me so upset every time I see it.

Because one of the things I know for a fact is if a god felt disrespected by your behavior towards them, you’d know.

If xyz didn’t want you to treat them like a sibling, best friend, mentor, parent, (or even a lover. Not my place to judge.), you’d know. Just because you have that type of relationship with them doesn’t mean you don’t respect them or don’t work with and/or worship them.

They’re gods, yes. But they also love you and want to help you. You felt how they appeared to you, I bet you knew very quickly what type of relationship you’d have with them. What type of role in your life they would fill. Or maybe you didn’t and it happened a lot more slowly. All of that is okay. What’s also okay is if you have a very strict relationship with them, that’s also fine.

But my goodness don’t try to police or judge how gods are with other people.

99.9% of the time it’s the gods setting that type of dynamic in the first place so please be respectful to other dynamics.

You’re not better than other worshipers because you don’t joke around or call a god your bestie.

i've been rewatching psych (as i'm sure you could guess) and three things are really standing out to me on this rewatch

the amount of times gus and shawn have to literally go "no homo" in a situation that really can't be explained any other way is just like. at this point it'd be less gay for them to just have sex

obviously henry is sort of an asshole and a bad parent in a lot of ways, despite his best intentions, but in spite of that, even when their relationship is at it's worst in the show, it's crazy to me how much shawn and henry just like each other. yes we haven't spoken in over a year, now i'm in your house, taking your stuff, of course you're cooking me food, yes we're talking about cases but there's just a lot of - casual hanging out? i really do think despite everything that they had a good relationship until the divorce and falling back into that is easier than not. their relationship is actually the most insane, convoluted parent-child relationship on tv and i'm standing by that, but the undercurrent of like that it has is what i think makes it so interesting instead of just the classic love and hate

they did juliet so dirty by having her think that shawn was really psychic. that makes her the only one in the main cast that shawn fooled, which is just. uncomfortable. and doesn't even make any sense! she's better than that. the only one that should actually think shawn is psychic is buzz and only because he's thinks it's impolite to think that his friends are liars

how does it feel? to know that because of fandom, we get to create infinite universes in which our favourite characters find each other and love each other over and over again?
