#but i'm freaking here for it LETS GO

[oshiawaseni]

While the second opening was disingenuous to the heart of Izuku's solo arc, the actual content of the anime itself has remained quite faithful. Even going so far as to add or change some details to better represent the characters and their feelings. It's almost as if these changes were an amendment to the manga, just in case the manga didn't answer certain questions well enough.

Like the true reason Izuku decided to leave U.A. The manga presents Izuku's loved ones as a group, with Katsuki there as the last person your eyes should look at. But will readers make that connection? With the removal of just one word in the anime, the group part of the sentence, it shows viewers a more solid, concrete reason: It was explicitly because of Katsuki nearly dying.

Another example is how the various translations of Katsuki's line ("waatteru") created fandom friction, and they would flitter between "I know" and "We know," depending on who was translating it.

I always thought it had a very personal "I know" vibe to it because as Katsuki stated, and this is something reminded to us only 3 chapters earlier: He is the person who "knows" Izuku best. The anime removes ambiguity of the I know/We know debate by having Izuku apologise only once he'd made it into Katsuki's arms, making their exchange of words appear even more intimate and direct to one another. Katsuki knows.

Then after he stumbles his way into Katsuki's arms, there is that bonus clip of him being awake to hear Katsuki's gentle forgiveness of him. To express that the last of his resolve has crumbled because of Katsuki’s apology and being held in those arms he feels safe. He feels loved. So Izuku gives himself fully to Katsuki's care, murmuring out his beloved’s name with a "Ka…” right before finally succumbing to sleep. I think this extra moment makes the feel of their apology seem even more romantic… because it's supposed to.

And now Ochaco's handhold! It being featured in the opening gave some of us grief every week simply because this arc was never about IzuOcha, it was about Katsuki and Izuku.

Katsuki realising his need for Izuku to be by his side and losing SLEEP over not knowing if he's okay. Katsuki's proud statement of knowing Izuku best and that he couldn't be left alone because of his disregard for himself. Katsuki instigating the search and rescue of Izuku. Katsuki humbling himself before Endeavor and Nezu, setting aside his pride in exchange for the safety of his most important person and best friend, PLEADING Endeavor for his help because he's SO AFRAID of Izuku being out of his sight and losing him forever.

Katsuki saving Izuku's life again. Katsuki humbling himself a second time, apologising to Izuku and telling him to put some trust into him and their hero friends; that they can be relied on to help him. Katsuki telling him his ideals of saving people weren't wrong, and they can only win by saving everyone: Izuku, the people at U.A and the people in the city.

The beautiful poetry in Izuku’s reason for leaving, to protect his most precious person, being overtaken by his reason to stay: Izuku’s unconditional, everlasting love for that person and his overwhelming need to be by their side. And here Katsuki was, finally telling him it was okay to; he wants him there.

Even Daiki-kun said the last of Izuku's resolve left him because of Kacchan’s heartfelt apology… Yes. The opening’s handhold was really out of place.

And after Izuku is brought back to U.A, we get to the real IzuOcha handhold... But rather than grabbing his hand like she does in the manga, they have her grab the more impersonal wrist area instead. It's so hard to believe we are in a timeline where Bones are making an opening Ocha-centric, when it shouldn't be, and yet NERFING her handhold in the ACTUAL anime content…??????

All of this has got me thinking that maybe Hori himself has been directing Bones to make these changes - to make BkDk's growing love for each other a more prominent fixture in the story that’s almost impossible to miss, while dampening the IzuOcha teasing into little more than kindness between two good friends. And in doing so, the anime has now become spiritually connected to the manga because this is the exact same direction the manga has been going in lately.

Why else were all of these changes and enhancements made in the anime? Maybe it’s because Horikoshi is preparing people for the bkdk romance that's about to go into full bloom.

#bakudeku #It's so close #It's just around the corner #I think in Hori's mind the manga will have #bkdk canon #before season 7 begins airing #bnha meta #bnha anime #op #HONEST FEELINGS: WHAT IS EVEN HAPPENING I DONT KNOW ANYMORE #but i'm freaking here for it LETS GO #sorry if there’s mistakes I’m editing it half asleep #goodnight ❤️

Quiet, gentle and romantic and yet we find out Crowley is living in his car and fed up with literally everything.

#I'm here for it but Crowley needs a hug #He's going to freak out when he finds out Aziraphale is letting Gabriel stay in the bookshop because he has nowhere else to go #He'll have a dramatic moment where he's like: #Neither do I but you don't see me barging my way into your shop #Then Aziraphale is like my dear what #good omens #ineffable husbands #good omens 2

[lucy-ghoul]

can't believe a show based on a videogame (usually games adaptations are notoriously bad, which isn't the case here tho) gave me the beauty and the beast/twisted mirrors/enemies to traveling companions/ruthless antihero+optmistic but still badass heroine who takes none of his shit/age gap but make it sexy dynamic of my dreams. as much as i love maximus and i think he deserves the best writing ever because 1. he's a clever deconstruction of the aspiring Knight bro who's actually a bit of a loser and, as much as lucy, sees the world in black&white at first and then doesn't get what he thought he wanted but what he needs (or at least i hope he'll eventually get it), and 2. he's a cutie and i want an epic love story for him too, it's very funny how they tried to give us a puppy kind of romance and the tumblr girlies still fixated on the "toxic ~she bites his finger off and he cuts hers off and sews it on his hand in what we'll pretend it's a symbolic marriage rings exchange or whatever~ asshole who used to be a nice guy/good girl™ with a lot of spunk and hidden anger but unshakeable morals" kind of relationship.

#mind you idt the writers will ever have the guts to go for this pair or anything and i'm perfectly okay with the maximus/lucy romance #but still. they tried to give us the wholesome love story between two cuties with a killer side #and the fandom went ~mmmh we kinda want for that girl and the noseless radioactive ghoul to fuck nasty actually #shhdhdhf i'm sorry but this was so predictable to me. conosco i miei polli #also. i don't fully understand those who see it as a father/daughter thing? just because it worked on tlos #doesn't mean we need the same kind of dynamic here #1. despite him being an actual father (or at least. he was 200+ years ago) i've never seen a less paternal character than the ghoul lmao #2. lucy is an adult woman. young but in her mid twenties i guess? cooper had (and maybe still has) a daughter but the kid was like. 6 or 7? #lucy doesn't need a daddy she's a grown up. stop infantilizing women all the freaking time #let them be fully equals!! let them be bickering road trip companions/a killer squad/tentative allies who eventually form a real bond #i SWEAR if the writers go full parent/child bs with them in s2 because they're more popular #(at least on ao3. i don't expect the same level of insanity from the general audience) #than the canon ship i'll riot. idt they will but still #..... maybe they should go for a hot max/lucy/coop polycule instead. that would be interesting lmao #vaultghoul #fallout #val rambles in the tags #val speaks #txt

[angelsdean]

and what if i started 'dean is too nice to sam' truthing ?

#well. publicly. bc i already am truthing that sdjkfjd #LISTEN. this show was really really bad at portraying actual sibling dynamics dfkdgk like half their fights would not be that deep irl #like oh you tried to kill me? ok well here's a funny picture of dog and also that's you ok lets go get food #dean as the eldest sibling should've told sam 'i'm right bc i'm the oldest do what i say' like. alllll the time #bc he's right and he's the oldest :) and sam just has to accept that he will ALWAYS be the baby even at 39 yrs old #esp dean being a parentified older sibling like. sam is simultaneously his annoying lil brother AND his pseduo-child #even if sam doesn't want to acknowledge that dean was his main most stable parental figure growing up it doesn't change the fact that #for dean that's what sam is. and so oscillating between the two roles of older brother and parent makes for a complicated dynamic #where you'll like. die for them. but also tease them mercilessly and call them a lil freak and weirdo #(but if anyone else did that you'd punch them out) #but yea. canon dean. too nice. #should've teased him more and gotten into more play fights + actual fights that end w/ them laughing + getting slushies at the gas 'n' sip #siblings siblings #vic.txt

interesting to see lots of mutuals reblogging the post that refers to the objectively gruesome and horrifying death of several people as "textually rich"

#waveridden.txt #sorry 2 say that even though they are billionaires i (gasp) don't want people to die grotesquely due to the company being irresponsible #this might be a hot take but this is Real Life let's not talk about the Dramatic Irony or the Narrative. that's some freak shit #idk i'm not going to sit here and grieve the individual people but i will grieve the loss of life and the fact that we got to this point #rbs off because i'm not trying to start shit i'm just begging y'all to not. do that

i must be a little tumblr baby born in the tumblr cave cuz i am Not understanding how twitter works

#qktalks #hate this place . whatthe hell is going on #i don't understand the hashtags. i get that it's an organization thing i got that part #but i also see plenty of art posts Not tagged w anything #and yet they're rly popular and have tones of notes. likes? whatever they're called #so how did people find that. the algorithm? how did the Algorithm know to show them that if the post isn't tagged #what is going on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #not that it matters very much that i don't understand i'll never once post anything here #i just wanna browse art. i have done more blocking of reimob freaks than browse art tho so #wonderful sign. twitter is full of normal people that i don't want to maim #also there's no icon next to names to let me know i follow them which sucks #normally that wouldn't be a huuge problem but rn i'm following mainly japanese accounts #and i <3 can't read their names. or memorize them. they r in a different language w complicated little characters i don't understand #i sound like such a boomer .bury me in the yard #edit actually i rly like following exclusively japanese accounts bc it means whatever text is on my feed i cannot read #this is like looking thru a picture book. i cannot hear anybody's dumbass takes. bliss on twitter? more likely than u think

.....I think if will hadn't gotten framed he would have gotten stressed enough to hide in the corpse cold storage freezing box cabinet to avoid people talking to him

#Hannibal #nbc hannibal #Will graham #Banging pots and pans they should have leaned into will being more unhinged #Like everyone was this man is weird #And then he was just mentally ill #Like let!! Him be weird!!! #Will had one to many people talk to him one day #And he just knows jack is going to yell at him again and and and #So he just storms into the lab and is like I'm not here and crawls into one of those storage units #It is sadly the best sleep he's had in a while (no room to sleep walk) #Team sassy science is like UM #actually Beverly is like whatever man's gotta do what man's gotta do #But everyone else is freaking out #They do still hide him from jack though

I miss Tumblr Live

...said no one ever.

#I'm so glad it's gone #Just the little options to view on top of Tumblr were making my phone battery very angy #And some of the options coming up were very >.> considering Tumblr freaks out over nekkid boobie arts #If only Tumblr would go back to letting us share art here without judging us that would be great too #RIP Tumblr Live

Living in america is like. I may or may not have serious/deadly illnesses but fuck if I know because the closest doctor that accepts my insurance, is taking patients, and doesn't want to violently rip me off all of my medications and yell at me is two hours away and regardless of if I can get a ride or not that is simply not possible to manage as a primary care provider

[zehecatl]

thinking really, really, hard about Heizou getting hurt, and basically not knowing how to ask for help, so he tries to deal with it himself, except it’s worse than he thinks, so he just spends days in constant pain, until Kazuha finds him nearly unconscious and freaks out

#genshin impact #heizou genshin #whump #heizou straight up admitting he can't ask for help because of how people see him is. so good i'm going a bit insane about it #also kazuha would fucking FREAK so bad. like imagine him finding heizou pale and weak and half-unconscious #trying really hard to play it off. except then he stumbles and kazuha has to fucking catch him and oh fuck that's blood heizou is BLEEDING #and isn't that just a fun reminder that people you love can die that you will lose them that you are not enough to keep them #and meanwhile heizou is lowkey freaking because shit now kazuha is going to think him weak and he's letting him down #and also okay he's maybe bleeding a TAD too much here haha whoops- #anyway disaster anemo duo <3
