having bladie say "well done, lad" for the highest dmg strike took me by surprise and made my day ngl

Thinking of the larger context of LOTR and like, the fellowship swapping old war stories and shit and Sam just says “Yeah I killed a huge spider…Shelob, I think?”

And Gandalf just blinks and is like, “You what now?”

“Yeah, killed it. Had to save Frodo”

Gandalf elects not to tell Sam that he killed the spawn of a primordial demon.

arthur, to me, is the most tragic merlin character. he is betrayed by everyone he is close to. his whole family. uther was such a bad father to him, morgana went against him, agravaine was never with him. even merlin lied to him. all he tried to do was his best, yet he constantly felt like he was failing. he felt like he had to push people away, that he couldnt let them in. his life was cut short before he could show people who he was.

yes, merlin lost everyone, but he knew the whole time. he knew what was happening, he was able to try and stop it. arthur didnt know. he wasnt told a lot of things. people kept him out of their decisions.

you can't tell me that todd's poem wasn't about being gay-

walt whitman (a gay poet)'s image is haunting him.

it won't leave him alone, following him wherever he goes, and no matter what happens, the truth will continue to haunt him.

(+ and still we sleep is about his anxiety btw.)

the fact that sanemi couldnt respond to tanjiros letters cause he didnt know how to write yet still sent sweets to the kids as a reply is something so darn cute

[unrav3l]

orion, the hyades and the pleiades

around 3 minutes of exposure on my nikon z5 and 24-70mm f/4 lens

what if the "X" shaped scar on sanemis chest literally means aim for the heart if you want to hurt me what then huh

[unrav3l]

head empty just genya truly believing that sanemi hated him because he was weak and understanding he doesnt want him around because of that when in reality none of it was true and all sanemi wanted was to keep genya away from all the mess

[unrav3l]

can we talk about the foreshadowing of genyas fate and how terribly sad it is?? im watching s3 for the first time and although im also a manga reader seeing this for the second time made me realize the foreshadowing he has

major spoilers ig cause not everyone read the manga but im talking precisely about the moment when hes chasing the upper fourth and is almost killed. his thoughts are about sanemi, how they never got to talk, how he never has a chance to say that hes sorry for what he said that one day, how he understands so much more now than when he was a kid, how all he wanted was to be his brother. how dearly he loved sanemi and how the kind smile nemi had was always in the back of his mind. genya knows exactly what he wants to do before he dies, genya knows exactly what is his priority and what hes thinking about being on the verge of death. and thats what actually happens. it was craved into his mind so deeply that when he actually is deathly wounded, when hes dying he takes the chance and says it all. and he cant even hear the feedback, he cant hear sanemi's begs and cries and even then he still wants his big brother to know that hes not mad, that he understands

im so unwell about his unconditional, so terribly pure and childish love for sanemi i want to rip my hair off bye

demon slayer is a series where the character design and their overall build is absolutely brilliant and gives you a lot of space to create little theories just by mere looks of the character and i think it needs to be given more attention

one of the examples is tengen which in general has one of my favorite desings in kny. when we look at him we see of course a flamboyant man, we see his colourful personality and confidence through all the flashy details, makeup, nails polish etc. however when we ignore all the accesories and look at him the way god created him... hes a classical albino. white hair and red eyes is a combination typical for albinism. you know what else is quite usual for albinos? bad sight. and there goes the technique he uses. sound. he created a technique that runs around sounds, hearing. i think its so fucking cool that when we connect the dots between his looks, his skills and his personality it all makes so much sense.

im fully aware that kny might not be the deepest and life changing series but its made with so much precision and passion i find it so amazing and entertaining

Just seen a post someone made saying they hate the fact the fandom uses “nemi” when genya is talking about sanemi because it’s a “mistranslation” and yeah it is a mistranslation, I’m sure most of us are aware of that and those who are not are not hurting anybody by having genya call Sanemi “nemi” like. Do you hate joy? Whimsy? Fun? The innocence of a childhood nickname given by a little sibling that is meant to be the height of endearment and love for his big brother?

Anyway this is a Nemi safe space it’s my favorite word to use for genya to address sanemi by.

Currently thinking abt Jingliu’s story quest, spoiler’s ahead beware —

I’m thinking about how much of an impact Jingliu’s torture had on Blade and how fucking devastated Jingliu must’ve been to go through with it. I’m thinking about how Yingxing must’ve still been reeling from the new effects of the abundance and his possible regret and grief for ending up as the very thing he hated and swore to fight against—

I’m thinking about the way Jingliu must have chased him down after hearing or- or seeing and experiencing them attempt that resurrection and feeling utterly betrayed by two of her closest friends— two people who were supposed to be Baiheng’s closest friends— (How could they do that, how could they do that, how could they do that?!) —and swinging her sword, the Shard Sword (the one he made— the one he gave to her), at him mindlessly and hurt, with the intent to make Yingxing feel the same way.

I’m thinking about how Yingxing must’ve first felt when he died — the first taste of nothingness to cleanse him of the utter agony of devastation and grief, and then the horrible feeling of everything when he was resurrected again. I think about the way Yingxing, so open and honest, feeling so deeply, must’ve ley out a sob when his chest began to heave again. I think about the way Jingliu must’ve watched with tears of frustration and agony shining in her own eyes. (You did this to yourself. I failed by not stopping you but you and Yinyue-jun were the ones who disgraced her memory first — you have no right to cry like that!)

I think about the way Jingliu must’ve made a conscious effort to destroy his hands— his pride and joy, the ones that made the Shard Sword she turned against its creator. I imagine her throwing it on the ground after the first— or one of the first few of his many deaths, telling him to “Rise” and “Stand” to face her, forcing him to fight over and over again living over a hundred deaths as punishment for what he did.

I think about the way ‘Yingxing’ must’ve slowly died in this process of hours or days of endless torture and punishment with his heart as an artist splayed out and destroyed, flesh bared and heart unbeating as the artist in his mind marvels at the beauty and fantastical agony that became his existence until he no longer thinks; mind rewritten with Jingliu’s preachings of “The three who must pay the price.” and her merciless sword techniques and lessons. I think of how Yingxing, the existence that he was, had truly been killed and warped in all the suffering Jingliu imparted on him — and I wonder how they could ever mend that bridge again.

I think about Jingliu stopping only after the hundredth death as now Blade stands on steady feet with muscle memory from the past nth deaths until Jingliu turns her back with her final lesson and parting words; satisfied, but not fulfilled, by the way she’s carved her presence and regrets into Blade’s mind and body irreversibly. I think about the way she spared ‘mercy’ to him by leaving him astray and to escape the Xianzhou and Luofu. I think about the effort it must’ve taken Blade to chose aimless wandering over eternal sentence… or maybe that too had been Jingliu’s choice.

I think about Jingliu, walking away with nothing but white noise and mara screams, echos of the past, filling her mind until her body gives out from restless days of fighting Blade, forcing onto him the punishment she so strongly believed he deserved — because she couldn’t rest until the lesson had finally set in, what kind of teacher would she have been if she had? I’m thinking about the way her body collapses to the ground like a puppet cut from its strings with no one to catch her and no one to see her at her weakest as she mourns for everything they once had but can never have again because of what they did. Because of what all of them have become.

And finally, I think about the reports that must eventually reach Jing Yuan at the divine seat of foresight. I think about the way he must feel; knowing one of his friends is irreversibly dead and the other three have torn each other apart in that grief. I think about how destroyed he must be, choosing between his duty and his lovers— but finding all too much fault in the choices they made and the suffering they have caused. I think about the decisions he would have to make and the punishment he’d have to invoke on Dan Feng becoming Dan Heng in spite of his emotions, because he is the last one left. And if no one else can remain on the Luofu then he must be the one to carry their memories.

I think that the High Cloud Quintet are irreversibly scarred by themselves and by each other, and I wonder how they’ll ever be able to mend things.
