I think it’s funny how, before I knew about Edgeworth’s note, I would see art on Tumblr that I felt like was trying to convince me that Miles was dead. I knew he wasn’t. I knew he didn’t die because I had seen Edgeworth’s Chief Prosecutor sprite on his wiki page. However, I started feeling like Tumblr was trying to gaslight me into believing he was dead because there would be art of Phoenix or Franziska just crying over Miles being gone, and y’know what? Good on Tumblr for giving me a bit of the Phoenix Wright Experience (TM) in believing this man wasn’t alive anymore.

if i could, very gently, turn any popular perception in my circles over its head and examine it, it would be the perception that ichigo cares only about protecting his family and friends and not anyone else. i'd say this is true for maybe the first few chapters of the manga, and the evidence people usually give is his quote about how he can't claim to be superman or anything but he'll do as much as he can to protect people, but even then, i think this statement is more of a cop-out on ichigo's part than any indication that he's only dedicated to protecting friends and family. he's afraid of widening the pool because he's afraid he'll fail them. keep the circle small and the task is manageable. rukia rightfully calls him out on the hypocrisy of this very early on, and over the course of the series his aims do evolve to a point where, by TYBW, he's pretty explicit about wanting to save everyone.
i think the reason this comes up a lot is because of how it factors into ichigo's ending in 686. people pro-ichigo's ending cite the importance of family and friends as a reason why it works, but i do think it goes a little too far when people say they're the only people he cares about. especially considering ichigo is notorious for caring about people he met, like, 5 seconds ago (rukia), or caring about them to a point where he hasn't been able to forget the day they met (orihime), or even caring about someone after it turns out that they've been the enemy all along (nel). ichigo feels way too much to be comfortable limiting his goals, even if he did very much start out that way out of fear of failure. however, anti-ichigo ending circles take it too far too, with this notion of unfulfilled heroic ambition. i don't think ichigo wanted to be a hero at all, but being extraordinarily attuned to suffering and grief had been taking a toll on him pre-powers, and having powers was just a way to respond to that. the powers were only a means to an end—the end being that ichigo had to embrace his heart and stop projecting the grief of losing his mother onto the fear of losing everyone else. ichigo at 15 is not the same as ichigo at 18, because ichigo at 18 embraces the fact that he is someone who will help anyone if they come to him or if he himself is a witness to their pain. if ichigo's life is a universe with rings, his friends and family would be in his innermost circle, certainly, but you can bet the most random spirit is on his radar too, even if they're on the farthest, outermost circle.
in light of that, karakura town can best be described as his base of operations, or, specifically, the place where he rests. where he's doing mundane things like reading books or hanging out with his friends. the rest of his universe emerges and expands out from this center. so much of ichigo's soul is split into four, and the part that's human is definitely the one that wants connections and love that will live on well beyond his mortal existence. ichigo will live on though kazui, as any parent lives on through their child, but there's something really poignant about a boy too scared to accept responsibility for strangers growing into a man prepared to raise a child – arguably one of the most daunting responsibilities there is. he cares about everyone, but it's not unreasonable for him to want to sink his roots into the town where his parents met, where he grew up, where he met everyone who would become important to him etc etc

Thinking about the time that someone told me they found one of my incorrect quotes funny but they didn’t really get intruality as a ship because they didn’t think Patton & Remus fit together—
Understandable, I said, not every ship is everyone’s cup of tea
Yeah, they said, I just don’t see Patton being with a side who is basically insanity—
Me: *staring at my phone*
Me: you think that Remus is… insanity?
Them: yeah, he’s crazy, he says crazy things
Me: uh huh, yeah, I’m gonna need you to rewatch DWIT a couple more times—
The amount of effort it took me to not lose my marbles lmao the complete misunderstanding of his character SENT ME INTO ORBIT HOLY SHIT 🥲🙃

do you ever think that harumi wanted to be friends with the ninjas? maybe with lloyd since they were probably the same age. but after what happened between them...maybe they can't ever be friends. or even be close with eachother.

if we were in the soy luna universe and all the characters that ended up getting famous (which is really up to your hcs) which would you most likely be a fan of?
because i imagine that matteo, the roller band and yam have successful music careers, luna and ramiro have successful skating careers, nina is a successful author, jazmín is a successful media/drama youtuber and everyone else doesn't really involve themselves directly with fame
so personally, i would most likely be a casual fan of the roller band and maybe yam but i would probably know of jazmín just from being on the internet, the rest not so much

i'm learning russian and french at the same time and I swear to god if I accidentally find a random cyrillic letter in the middle of a word writen in latin alphabet one more time or accidentally mix languages mid sentence, I will yell
or sometimes I find that when I'm writing a translation of a word in russian that sounds similar in polish I just write the russian word again but in latin alphabet for some reason
or I can somehow remember all of my miniscule spanish when I'm trying to learn french even though I literally don't remember a word in spanish otherwise
my language module is broken at this point, if you ever find my notes and there is something like boнjour, just ignore it, I literally don't pick up on it when I'm making and rereading my notes

When I was in...high school. Not elementary school. Not middle school.
High school.
I got back into Club Penguin.
And one time I was playing Club Penguin and wanted my brother to get online so he could check my igloo out or something. And I deadass messaged him "get your ass back on Club Penguin"
And during Orchestra class. IN HIGH SCHOOL. Meaning I was too old for this game and it was very embarrassing if anyone found out I was still playing it as a teenager. My friend sitting next to me SAW THE MESSAGE ON MY IPOD
No I did not have a phone. All I had was an iPod

i love her so much 😭💗. She's so sweet. At some point she came to me saying she wasn't feeling good, i started panicking and crying, so i texted my friend saying "i need to find that blacksmith quickly, she told me she felt ill, she's gonna die because i'm taking too long. I don't want her to die". He told me she'll be fine BUT STILL, i'm kinda scared to go to camp every now and then, because what if she just die spontaneously ???
