The Boy Who Leapt Through Time AU
(read from right to left)
I’m all caught up with my sketches now, so there’s a possibility the next updates won’t be quite as regular as usual. We’ll see
I like that “it all went up in flames” can almost be translated directly in multiple languages. In French you’d say “c’est parti en fumée” [lit. “it turned to ashes”], and I think you can also use “灰にな っ た” the same way in Japanese
Just, a lot of the time, sayings and metaphors don’t translate all that well and it’s slightly frustrating to me since I like to imagine the conversations playing out the way they would in-universe, with the correct language, but I guess the idea of losing everything to a fire is pretty commonly understood ?
Whether that fire was real or metaphorical doesn’t matter...
Anyway, here’s Megumi having an existential crisis

i swear sometimes i think people forget that Jon's s1 skeptic act was just that—an act. it was an act!!! he believes the statements!! he's believed them since episode one! do we so soon forget that he denied the statements were real because he knew the Eye something wanted him to be scared, and he knew that was bad, so he decided to act like the statements just didn't scare him? remember, he was working with extremely limited information ("when i record the tape statements, i feel watched, like something knows i'm afraid, and i don't want it to know that"), and came up with a genuinely solid solution with what he had! not his fault that the thing watching him was a literal unknowable eldritch entity that feeds on fear, and he was just some underqualified archivist.

appreciation for the sheer melancholic fondness in wilson’s gaze at house during what he knows is the last normal interaction they’ll ever have; during the final comparatively trivial rant in which they don’t both have to pretend the world isn’t collapsing beneath their feet

I love Sonic Boom so so much
The sweet charm of it is that they don't have the weight of the world on their shoulders so all of them can goof around and act their age with no worries, no masks, show their silly goofy teenage and child sides and that's what they're doing 90 percent of the time
It's like closest friends having a never-ending sleepover and bullying their weird crazy uncle when he tries to ground them or something and they also have an emo cousin who occasionally shows up to make fun of their blanket fort and criticize on their snacks.
I love Sonic Boom

reading xie lian’s POV is actually hilarious once you realise xie lian isn’t oblivious at all, he basically guesses most things immediately, he’s just taken the veteran autism tactic of “it’s too much effort to figure out when it’s appropriate to mention that i know something, so i’ll just pretend i don’t know until someone says it aloud”. sometimes it turns into a bit. the truth might be embarrassingly obvious, but social cues are hard, and xie lian has infinite time to wait for the other person to blink first.

My head cannon is that Machete isn’t /bad/ with children he just doesn’t /get/ them. He doesn’t know what to talk about. Asking them their opinions on the Holy Roman Emperor’s endeavor to tax books published in various languages.
wheeze
I had to go and dig out this recent twitter exchange

[ cw: death mention / family death mention / ]
Mhmm I sure love thinking of the reality where we did get more time to really know Karai and her dynamics with the bros. Losing her hit hard in the finale, but it would’ve hit much, much harder had we known Karai longer and really saw her relationships develop with everyone.
I especially would have been interested in her dynamic with Leo, as past iterations often have the two of them clash in ideals and the like while still sharing many characteristics. Two sides of the same coin, and all that. Her specifically being the bros’ Gram-Gram also adds a whole new dynamic as well.
Imagine how interesting it would be, to have Karai start off on Leo’s side for once, showing wholly just how alike the two are at their cores and bonding as family without the worry of betrayal or animosity that other iterations suffer through, only to have Karai die anyway. Their parting hug and the desperate look of horror Leo wears later on would have hit that much harder, I feel.

scaramouche:
[...] he beheld his own reflections, each one vivid, each one real, each one him. to accept the past is to acknowledge its failings [...] only by doing so could he break free of his shackles and become, once again, that tragic person.
the real him had never died, no, it lived on deep within his heart.
