Osaka Locations: Cabaret Grand
Majima's Workplace Sotenbori
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Cabaret Grand (or The Grand) is a popular cabaret in Sotenbori located on West Sotenbori Street. It's known for its superb staffing: beautiful, usually graceful women, waiters and floor managers that do their best at playing refined men and none other than Sotenbori’s one and only Lord of the Night, manager Goro Majima. Guests come to experience Cabaret Grand’s unique Sotenbori elegance complete with live performances by locally famous musical acts and sometimes even comedians and they stay for the men and women doing what they can to help them forget what’s happening in the outside world. 
The Grand prides itself on being an escape when one is in dire need of it. 
The Grand’s signature is its gorgeous wine red and lustrous gold color scheme. From the door to the ballroom (as well as the runway leading to the dancefloor), the flooring is carpeted in a fine, (imported) saxony then completed with an intricately designed berber carpeting. The dance floor and stage are made of porcelain that has a strict polishing schedule. It is rare to find filth and debris on the floor of The Grand as there is cleaning staff on standby that roam and monitor the ballroom like hawks. Gold lines the runway, strips of it are neatly pinned to the nose of each step leading to the 2nd floor, the red damask seating is topped with gilded accents even the walls aren’t free of that Cabaret Grand gold!
There’s not only a cover charge and request fee that might threaten to drain the average wallet’s er, customer’s pockets. The menu boasts a pretty hefty price tag too! There’s not much way around it. The Grand’s hostesses are some of the most skilled and persuasive salespeople one might meet. This is why, while Cabaret Grand tries to welcome anyone with an open billfold, the intended demographic isn’t quite the average entry level salaryman. 
The Grand prefers their boss’ boss! 
There’s a large dressing room and locker room for the talent downstairs not far from the restrooms. It’s not quite as luxurious as the rest of the cabaret but it was designed to allow the ladies to comfortably get themselves together between clients. There are even communal showers in the locker room for the busy bee who may not have time to get home and do so before or after their shifts. No men are allowed in there. The red patterned walls are lined with vanities that are assigned to a roster of women per vanity. This was recently implemented to aid with narrowing down the culprit when theft happens. It’s not foolproof but the manager of The Grand has heard fewer complaints since implementing this system.
Just upstairs is the main office that also doubles as a breakroom for staff. It’s typically empty as most staff prefer to enjoy their breaks outside of the cabaret. It’s far more unassuming than the ballroom and the ladies’ dressing room combined. There are simple, cheap desks, jamming file cabinets and dusty chalkboards on one side for work and with the help of a partition, the room is divided, allowing a rest area on just the other side. The rest area offers a decent television set, two couches and even a towel warmer to help take the load off. There is a telephone in the office as well that has a secure line unlike the recorded line downstairs at the front desk. This allows people like The Owner to call in to The Lord of the Night and offer some… words of encouragement from time to time. 
Visit Cabaret Grand whenever you’ve got the chance (and money)!

“Merlin twitter account needs to confirm season 6” “Merlin twitter account needs to confirm Merthur”
WRONG Merlin twitter account needs to confirm if that was Arthur’s mother or not.

Bestie u ok?
you've reblogged that Calvin&Hobbes comic about destroying suburbs and reforesting the space for the animals to return 11 times
I was talking with My Wife about a particularly ugly and empty commercial real estate property; it consists of a dilapidated parking lot ringed by storefronts. Half the businesses are shuttered; the ones that remain are mid-tier corporate shells, things like Baskin Robbins and El Pollo Loco. We were passing through, picking up some very overpriced ice cream cake for a party
She said, in the way that most folks say this, that “there used to be nothing here.”
To which I replied (with substantially more force and pain than I had anticipated)
“There used to be Trees!”
I apologized for yelling, and she forgave me. She knows the journey I’m on. She’s right there with me. The Pain is still fresh. I am only just learning.
Tumblr media
I’m only just beginning to really understand. I’m only beginning to see. The severity of it. The depth and breadth of what was lost; no, destroyed, Murdered, to make way for, for… Baskin Robbins.
Tumblr media
We used to live amongst giants
Tumblr media
They used to be EVERYWHERE
Tumblr media
I don’t know what to do with all this Pain. This Rage. This Sadness. I want there to be someone I can punish, someone I can blame, someone I could put a bullet in to make it better and set it back, but I can’t, they’re dead, the Giants are dead and I can’t do anything about it and it makes me want to cry.
I dunno bestie. I don’t think I’m ok.

Lizzie: I and Will were kids when we first met.
Jack: Same with me and James!
Lizzie: I was on a ship. I saw Will in the water, I didn't want him to drown. My father was there with me. He helped to save Will.
Jack: Me and James! SAME STORY HERE!!!
Lizzie: My Will disliked pirates at first but it happened that he joined them and chose their side. Oh, he hated Beckett so much.
Jack: 100% my James!
Lizzie: My Will tried to stop Davy Jones and Beckett but… he died. He was stabbed and…
Jack: Bill and Davy were watching him dying, yeah. Story of my James.
Lizzie: But soon Will came back and now, now he's very much alive and free and we're so happy together and…
Jack: And I should have the same with my Jamie now, right? RIGHT?!
(that feeling when your OTPs mirror each other so much but in the end they don't 😭)

Imagine if a lamb was hatched from an egg.
Imagine.
The Lamb.
Last of its kind.
All others slaughtered in an attempt to prevent fate.
And then a lamb hatches unexpectedly.
No longer the last of its kind. (if this inspires you to make your own fanart or take on this idea, GO FOR IT!!! And also plsss show me, I want to see all of the angst/comfort this has the potential to create)

“How do you do it?” Wylan asked.
“Do what?” Kaz asked. His eyes did not look up from the document he stared down at.
“Make people scared of you.”
Slowly, Kaz’s eyes raised to Wylan’s face.
“Well,” he said dryly, “first I learned to steal everyone’s things. Then I learned how to murder people. Then, after that, I learned how to steal from them and kill them at the same time.”

Take a moment to appreciate the second half of the confrontation scene in sins of the father.
Arthur’s “you have caused so much pain and suffering”
and the way Merlin struggled to tell Arthur everything his mother said to him was a lie.
10/10👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I love Will's "from hating pirates to becoming one of them" story. I love all these scenes when Tia Dalma sees him and talks about his destiny. It doesn't even matter if I believe in destiny or not - I just love what I see on screen. I love the story.
Do you know what I love as much as this? That James' destiny looks almost the same. No, James doesn't become a pirate (not permanently + later he dies). But yes, his story begins with him hating pirates and ends with choosing their side.
And speaking about destiny... Gosh, let's add book canon to the movies and we have a beautiful (though emotionally devastating) circle. Oh, not a full circle. Not a full.
We have a story that begins with little 5 years old Jamie being on a ship with pirates and his father. We have Jamie being almost dead on the sea cause he falls into the water (moments earlier Jack tries to save him from falling but Jamie is too scared of Jack). We have Jamie staying alive cause Jack's father saves him.
And the end of his story? He is again on a ship. Again amongst pirates and amongst people who, just like his father, want to end pirate era. But this time James knows well who his real enemy is (and always was). This time he can choose. And this time he dies. He dies saving pirates, those who once saved him.
And this time there's no one who can save him. And the water (probably) takes his body 😭
Damn, I appreciate his redemption arc, I really do. I can understand why the writers did it. But deep down I want James to be alive. Deep down I need AU with Jack being on that cursed ship somehow or with Jack coming there on time. I need to see Jack trying to save James again and to see that everything is okay cause this time James isn't afraid. Oh, this time James trusts Jack and takes his hand.
