Seojin stares aimlessly at the piece of paper in front of him. The white blends almost perfectly with the sterile surface of the table, only the high contrast words and his black pen jumping out at him. His eyes glance up at the images displayed on the projector — an old, grainy clip of a Kurosawa film playing for them in the dimmed room.
On occasion, he would catch glimpses of a familiar face in the corner of his vision, absently turning to her to mumble something along the lines of, "Mifune Toshiro was so cool in this, don't you think?"; confident she might have the same thought from what he knew of her. He does not think anything of it — the simple fact that those words are the first he mutters to her in what feels like well over a year. Should he acknowledge it, he would find his teeth digging painfully into his lower lip, nails picking at each other.
He initially decided to ignore their seating arrangement at the same table. Fortunately, there is room enough for him to prop his elbows up and conceal himself just a bit more, even as he speaks directly to her when the lights turn back up and the instructor prompts them for group discussion.
"So..." Seojin begins with a clearing of his throat. He looks around the room. Anywhere but at her. Yiran. Why can he not even acknowledge her name? Even in his thoughts? I thought you got over it, Seojin. "So," No one can deny how awkward this is, he shoots back at himself. "What did you think of the film clips? I think old movies really have a different feel to them. Older writing, too..." He would not drone on about how oddly romantic he found haikus and their ability to fit so much into so little. No indulging in his fondness for poetry — not to her.
"Glad there won't be, like, a test on this though... or an essay."
its gotta be that so much of the fanart ive seen on twitter has been like oh and then sunny will go with the death family which is also odd ? its like yeah sure her and chay are close and have something in common (taking qtubbo dying very seriously) but sunny is closer to ems family and morning crew -> though more specifically it would make sense for her to go with fit and ramon -> dawn darlings talking about each other as siblings and fit having looked at her for a few days already in the past -> she does really like pac and pac adores her but richas erm well u know
Roier: “Let’s care for our planet” Like Cellbit because he doesn’t shower in order to care for the planet!
*Roier and Cellbit laugh*
Roier: People, people, listen, today me and Cellbit were talking and I said to him “take a bath, you smell like ass” and he told me “I took a bath on Saturday!”
*Cellbit cackles*
Roier, giggling: -And I started to laugh and he said to me “It’s in order to care for our planet!”
*Cellbit dying of laughter*
Roier: *laughing* The filthy son of a bitch!
Cellbit: We have to conserve water, dumbass! Worry about the environment!
Roier: *laughing* Oh shit
Cellbit: Foolish, how mu- how many times do you [bathe] a week?
Foolish: Umm… probably… at least, like-
Cellbit: Once? Once, right? Every Saturday.
*Roier starts dying*
Foolish: Wait- once a week!? What!?
Cellbit: Yes, of course! Man, we’re gonna save the world, man! Don’t you think about the- the- you know-
Foolish: What!? There’s no way you’re showeri- that you bathe once a week???
Cellbit: Yeah! Every Saturday! What? Of course! Everyone should do this- *laughs*
taking movie touga's backstory into account when reading show touga really breathes new light into so many aspects, but especially i think the disregard he has for his own body.
He lets himself be slashed with a sword by Saionji, and just stands still in front of Utena running directly at him with a blade, both in a stupid bid to manipulate their feelings. He's out practicing kendo and doing duels just barely after being injured. He doesn't try to defend himself against Keiko, and is implied not to eat much during the black rose arc. And with Akio... well you know.
Even in the movie, when Juri falls into the water, he doesn't seek an adult to help. He runs in himself, haphazardly, for someone he doesn't even know, for the ideal of the prince he can't be. It just... it makes so much sense when you account for the fact that the adults in his life have utterly taken his bodily autonomy. Touga only understands bodies as tools - objects to be used and discarded in the pursuit of power and control. So he doesn't treat his own as something to be cared for.
