If you are watching a TV show, it can be live action or animated.

But not when you're reading a book. Much to think about.

#i get vivid images sometimes but it itsnt consistant #i think when I was younger I could read and see everything happening to the point where I forgot I was reading #but that happens much less now

get silly with it

I also put some of them on my redbubble as stickers for funsies

#this is so true to their dynamic

[spef-mp3]

Oh what did I do last night instead of sleeping or studying or anything remotely productive? Researching intellectual property law and planning out a business model for a business I do not have

spotify has just been trying to insult me for the past week. what the hell is "scary chase wednesday evening." then all the descriptions are like "you listened to: lonely, socially inept, maladjusted"

[spef-mp3]

my hot take is none of phil's 'wild northern childhood anecdotes' are actually at all weird he just phrases things in a funny way. dan lost his mind abt the whole dog warden thing and the literal story was just 'i won a school contest as a kid and got to meet the mayor of a small town'. when i was that age i was in the newspaper for making a flute out of a sweet potato small english primary schools were just LIKE that. this is not a dig btw it's just proof phil is a comedy genius bc he makes all these very normal things sound absolutely bizarre just by stringing words together in a way no human being has ever previously managed

One thing that has been bothering me a lot over the past few days is seeing all these RIP YOI, RIP IceAdo, Remember YOI etc. posts. As someone who discovered YOI later, I'm watching this unfold from the sidelines and I'm seriously worrying what this is going to do to the fandom. I understand that you are sad because the movie was cancelled, everyone has the right to be sad about such a thing, and I'm not trying to invalidate your pain. But, and I'm saying this with all kindness and my best intentions, and hell, I'm not even the first one saying this, but please hear me out:

YOI IS NOT DEAD.

It did not die last Friday. And it doesn't die because there won't be a movie. No story in human history has ever died because someone decided it was over. Stories are forever. They live in the hearts of the people. And so has YOI been living in the hearts of its fans since October 6th 2016, and will continue to live there for as long as we want.

Whenever I type "Yuri On Ice" into the search field of any social network, web archive, or search engine, I see hundreds of thousands of hits, most of them fanworks. Please take a moment to think about what that means:

In the 7.5 years since YOI aired, fans have made tons of art, written fanfiction and metas, cosplayed YOI characters, created fan videos, crafted all kinds of fan-made merch, and so much more. You are the ones who brought into being an infinite multiverse centred around an anime that is already larger than life. You have already created so much more YOI than Sayo, Kubo, MAPPA etc. could ever create even if they made one hundred movies. And even if every country in the world turns fascist and bans YOI, it will survive because fans will always find ways to preserve it and the power its message holds. Only stories that nobody no longer talks and cares about fade in oblivion.

You hold all the power to keep YOI alive, but, and this is probably the hardest pill to swallow, that also makes you the only ones who are able to kill YOI - be it by stopping to create or talk about it, or by shouting its death from the rooftops because you fancy yourself dramatic, or by turning the fandom into a hate-infested toxic hellscape, whichever will occur first.

And I honestly don't know which of these I fear most.

If you truly love YOI, please do your share and continue to keep it alive.

In my head Damien the pious looks like Ballister Boldheart

#thats him thats the blorbo #damien the pious #the penumbra podcast

[spef-mp3]

Did anyone else do that thing where at first you didn’t enjoy second citadel as much as juno steel but then season 2 picks up and you just finished a second citadel episode and you’re like damn I don’t want to switch over to juno now and then you listen to juno and you go damn I don’t want to switch to second citadel and back and forth?

[spef-mp3]

I am really normal about damien the pious I am so so normal about him I am full of completely normal and average thoughts about damien the pious

#oh anxious religious bisexual knight my love

[spef-mp3]

Okay so I was thinking about Damien's name right? And I thought it had like, satanic implications in christianity because of the nun from Good Omens and went like "oh that's interesting because he's literally damien the pious" but then I figured I should double check that and found out that I was wrong about that (it was briefly associated with the antichrist for pop culture reasons, not religious ones). However, I did discover that there is a Saint Damien in Christianity and he's one of the patron saints of physicians, which is pretty cool given that Rilla is a doctor

[spef-mp3]

Saint, I have given all to you. The direction of my life, my every waking thought, and now, I fear, my Rilla. I’ve nothing left besides my beating heart, and if you but asked I would open my bone-cage and invite your long-dead fingers in, I have given you everything, Saint, and this is my reward?

#dude dude dude #this monologue made me lose my mind #damien is the most character ever

[spef-mp3]

Folks, what if Damien is a witch?

Quanyii described witchcraft in season two as asking the universe for something. What is prayer if not that? It explains why Damien's prayer so often works.

I just think it's neat

#OOOH LOVING THIS THEORY

[spef-mp3]

Listening to a man who has dedicated his entire life and body and soul to following the teachings of a Saint only to feel like everything he's known is crumbling before him leading him to finally snap and curse the Saint he's so diligently put his faith into

Didn't know that was something I'd be so moved by

Didn't know I'd be so severely shaken up by the line "I have given everything to you, my direction in life my every waking thought, I have nothing left besides my beating heart, and if you but asked I would open my bone cage and invite your long dead fingers in"

Please I will take any chance to participate in a tag game

I dont listen to much pop but Chappell Roan has been really stuck in my head recently

(Queueing this to 8:30 p.m. EST today)

Okay! I want to start a tag game... 2 truths, 1 lie! Put a poll with 2 truths and 1 lie, set it for a week, and see what your mutuals think is the lie!

Afterwards, tag as many mutuals as your heart desires (if you need a number, I'm aiming for 8) and then link a song that us currently on your mind!

I'll start

@rubiqunda @screamingsquamousthings @pariskim @coolswagwoman @faggotarchives @spleakerboy @dale-aficionado-blueberry @smug-puppy

Finally, my current song stuck in my head at this very second

#Spotify #it definitely didnt take me ages to come with a lie
