Car Seat Headrest - It’s Only Sex
I can’t tell you if I like it, I like it,
What happens if I don’t like it, I like it?
I can’t tell you if I like it, I like it,
What happens if I don’t like it? It’s only -
Okay, so I’ve been reading all the sex blogs,
And they all talk about how okay it is to be gay,
And straight and bisexual and asexual,
And have sex however you like,
But I don’t care about hundreds of hypothetical people
And their hypothetical sex deals,
I care about me, and my sex deal!
What about my problems?

Gang Imma get into it later but holy shit if you’ve been doing the scans you gotta buy the books
- Chilchuck is So Much Bitchier
- So Is Shuro
- fucking everyone is I am LIVING
- both Kabru’s Utaya speeches in chapter 45 are subtly but significantly different and more… pointed? Like the tone is more specific to one interpretation
- Otta fucking told Kabru to go visit Milsiril and let her see him
- Kabru is actually somehow more judgemental of Laios but also told the Canaries he’d wanted to join “you”, not just enlisting in general which is also subtle but significantly more manipulative framing… and all of his talks with them are like that
He makes it so PERSONAL. He’s been reading How To Win Friends And Influence People and I love that for him like look at this shit
The differences are really just tonal, it’s the same basic information but the way it’s presented is just… fascinating
Sentences are shorter but less ambiguous and I want to put everyone who translated it all in a room and ask them why, languages are so fucking cool???
This though. The difference between “all humans have connections of some sort (we will use that to get them out)” vs “this is something that involves all of us (we will work together with them)” just
I want to peek open peoples skulls I need to knowwwww why were these choices made???
Also, this bitch
(We all know that’s why I clocked this part so hard I’m basic)
Just.
“We’ll accompany you” vs “I’ll accompany you”, it’s such a tiny change but hot damn this idea that Mithrun does genuinely just do shit on his own and the others follow him around as opposed to following his orders
It re-flavours a lot of shit gang
I gotta stop for the night but ughhhhh I need mushroom fiiiiight
(Also Flamela called him a wretch in chapter 77 ugh internal Canary tensions are killing me)
It’s a little subtler around volumes 10-12 tonally but still noticeable and I gotta go do another run through of each
Translation is much more an art than a science and different translators will all pull different things as important to interpret and cultural touchstones and aaaaaugh
(Yes for those wondering we did just hit my second hyperfixation for communication and language and nuance and I am fucking dying)

reverse unpopular opinion: food!
Hmm. I mean, i love food, obviously. One thing I do when I travel is to ask locals what food everyone eats when they are hammered at 2 am and then, well, guess what I do. It's a very fun way to experience new food.
Nothing comes close to the Turkish and Arab food vendors we have here in Germany though. Recently my friends dragged me to an Afghan bakery after we went clubbing so we had some fresh and warm cheese pide at 5 am while starved and drunk. Best experience, honestly. Also because one of the bakers started chatting with us and gave me a huge box full of sweets from Pakistan for free just because. Man, I love the people who make food in the middle of the night. They deserve one million euros per hour.

When the villain is calm and serious and fights for the right reasons, even if they're doing damage because they don't know how else to do it.
And the hero is bad. They're horribly selfish, and they enjoy torturing the villains they catch. They don't want to help the city, all they wants is to watch their enemies bleed to death. Maybe they were also excluded by their own team because no one felt good in their presence.
When the good villain and the bad hero meet for the first time and the villain realizes how screwed up the hero's mind is and that the only thing that motivates them is violence.
Maybe they end up falling in love when the villain shows the hero that violence is not everything and the hero ends up as a very protective person towards the villain.
Maybe everything sadistic about the hero will come out and end off the villain in the crudest way possible and the entire city will realize that the hero is scarier than all the villains combined.
‼️‼️‼️
English is not my first language, I'm sorry for any mistakes

ICE CREAM
✧. ┊TOMA HIKAGE x GN!Reader
✧. ┊SUMMARY: Summer ice cream date with Toma.
✧. ┊CONTENT: Fluff, Toma being a silly guy.
“Ice cream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream.”
“Ugh, It's super hot here...” You sighs with an exhausting tone while sitting on the bench, wiping your face with a handkerchief, as the heat from the sun keeps increasing, which gave you an urge to consume something cold.
“Yeah, I would get a heatstroke for this, I sweat a lot in this summer!” A long, blond-haired boy also complains about the hot weather while sitting on the same bench as you. He wipes his forehead with his own hand, sighs for handling too much heat under the sun.
“Same... I would pass out for this.” You groaned with an annoyed tone. The boy, Toma, looks at you and nodded. Both of you and him are just sitting there while distancing to each other, trying to think about how to enjoy the summer time properly without the extreme heat bothers you and him. Then, Toma suggests something.
“How about we could get some ice cream?” Toma asked you with a smile and enthusiast while pointing at the ice cream truck. You went intrigued and then nods at him.
“Sure, why not? That sounds like a good idea!”
“Hmm, which flavor I should choose?” Toma looks at the ice cream menu. So many variants to choose that he ended up gets indecisive. You stand there annoyed with the heat, wanting him to hurry to choose which flavor that would goes well.
“Ugh, come on. It's hot already!” You yelled at him with an annoyed tone. “Hang on a little bit, I can't decide which flavour I would choose!” Toma responds to you frustratingly.
“How about this (flavour)?” Toma asked you with a smile. You went intrigued, but stares at the other flavour on the menu and points your finger at it. “I'd rather prefer this one.”
“Hmm... how about we can buy two? One for me, one for you.” Toma negotiates with you. “Eh? That sounds like a good idea!” You agreed with his statement.
“So, do you like it? You're not angry anymore now?” Toma asked you gleefully with a smile, while you nodded enthusiastically.
“This ice cream tastes good! I love it!” You shouted happily to him, while your mouth has a little bit of ice cream on the cheeks.
“Hold on, I just noticed something.” Toma stares directly at your cheeks, then slowly pick something with his finger and licks it. You went confused and asked him. “What's the thing you just licked?!”
“Oh haha, it's a little pieve of ice cream that just gets stuck on your cheeks, so I have to pick it up with my finger.” Toma chuckled.
“Hm, I noticed that you also have a tiny piece of ice cream on your cheeks too.” You pointed out at Toma's mouth that also full of ice cream. Toma went surprised and quickly cleans his mouth with a tissue.
“How do you feel right now?” Toma asked you.
“I think this ice cream brings me a good mood in this very hot season." You replied to him with a smile.
“I'm so glad it makes you happy!" Toma responds cheerfully. Even in the very hot season, he will always try his best to cheer you up, no matter how annoyed you are.
“When you feel heated a lot, the best thing to solve it is to chill yourself down with some sweet treats.”

Do lim and garak ever have a genuine bonding moment?
OUGHH I think he has to get a lot of his therapizing done offscreen and internally. He needs to put aside his anger and see his father and his contemporaries for the flawed-but-trying people they are. Iskra doesn't really help, but eventually 'if you'd been born into his position you would have done the same thing to protect Cardassia that he did, except worse, because he's smarter than you' settles in.
Garak has to learn to speak his mind more plainly because Lim sees his vague allusions and crafty lies as a cowardly way to hide unpleasant truths. Galactic politics necessitates that he tones his monomaniac Cardassian exceptionalism down, and eventually that may grow to reflect his genuine feelings (but if asked he will certainly lie, so who knows?) Lim needs to grow up a little, see that his parents are also just people trying their best like he is, and maybe go through the mundane trials of adult life on a stunned and recuperating planet to sand his edges off. It's very gradual.
Also tbh they need some time to develop things in common... Lim isn't very well read, doesn't like to talk for fun and is inconsistently disparaging of anything unnecessarily decorative. But eventually he develops an appreciation for creature comforts and realizes that that doesn't make him a bad person, and then he and Garak can debate about what color to paint the house siding or whether or not the azaleas will grow in full sun.
But he very much benefits from some good yadek hugs now and then...
