CW BLOOD, GORE

YALL- the blue skin being burned the eyeball also that leaked revolution keldor toy. are they gonna retcon skeletors origin from that prequel motu revelation comic.... it seens hordak burned him from when he joined the horde but are they gonna link up skeletor to randor i wonder... many things to think

#this scene is gonna be crazy the animation looks sick #LIKEE i dont really mind the retcon bc the comic origin is kinda cliche but they better come up with something dramatic good #hordak being the one who takes him from eternia and turns him into skeletor might eat #skeletor #hordak #motu #he man #masters of the universe #masters of the universe revolution #motu revolution #keldor

I love reading post-fb fics where after the curse breaks, Kyo and Tohru walk back home, and they already have some domestic comforting moments, taking in the fact they can actually hug each other now 😭

#there’s a really good one by Cinderella-ish where Kyo changes Tohru’s bandages #and one by lucybee where he washes her hair because she can’t strain her arms too much #it sounds cliche but I can’t help but eat this up #fruits basket #furuba #fanfiction #tohru Honda #Kyo Sohma #kyo x tohru

this post is for the girls who have always struggled with being/feeling lonely <3

#honestly i usually dont care about valentine's but today i feel like shit lol #i used to isolate myself and now im trying to do the opposite. reaching out to people. staying connected when im vulnerable #i cooked myself a nice dinner tho. and im gonna eat chocolate and watch a movie (what a cliche! its not a romcom tho) #and i signed up to see a doctor for a checkup. take care of yourselves not matter your relationship status is what im saying <3 #valentines day #valentines

Wouldn't it be fucking WILD if the Season finished and Shiv has just never told a single person that she's pregnant? I do think she's gonna tell Tom during their fight next episode, her big flourish revenge moment, but I was just thinking that they could absolutely make it work just having it be a secret.

my ideal finale involves absolutely no mention of shiv pregnancy. like it never comes up again. not because i actually want this (i do not) but because it would just be so fucking funny considering the mass onset aneurysms people were having after the pregnancy reveal for it to quite literally never come up again. the other characters never hear about it and neither do we. pregnancy plotline falls into the void

#again not that i want this i actually am very curious to see where they go with it #but it would be unimaginably hilarious for it to be a straight up non issue #after everyone was like This Will Ruin Succession Shiv Will Revolve Aroukd Pregnsncy etc #which i mean by now hopefully everyone who thought that is eating their words bc she has not become the Pregnancy Trope (and thank god #altho gotta say i never actually expected succ to do smth so cliche and fucked up w her so i’m just glad i was right dr) #*fr) #but i just think it would be very funny considering the state of this website after ep4 #succession #shiv roy #asks #thebaconsandwichofregret

#do not take this seriously! I will most likely change my mind once the show starts bc she obvs loves her hubby #but their chemistry is electric #and let’s not forget that she’s his first love #and now they’ve got this whole forbidden thing bc he is a m ob boss and she’s a cop #a true cliche drama trope … and I will always eat that’s up lol #actually you know what … if I change my mind …I change my mind #I think I will defo ship them lol 😆 #wi hajoon #k drama

i don’t know how else to describe eternal yesterday, and the profound affect watching it has had on me, other than it’s the most quietly heart-breaking show I’ve possibly ever seen. It presents its subject matter so simply and plainly in a way that makes it feel huge, overwhelmingly huge, painfully huge. It’s premise is not for supernatural drama, it isn’t played up, not laughed at or exaggerated or used to give things more unnecessary emotional weight, it simply gives physicality to the real experience of letting someone go, to having to let someone go, to having to let go, and the indescribable pain of it that you can’t truly know until you’ve experienced it. It’s a glimpse into this short period of time, less than a week, that is so private to them, and is so concentrated with emotion, that truly does feel like time stopped, holding on, the fear of the moment passing, so instead the pain of it is just dragged out. You think of course they should do this, fight for every last second they can have together, but then you come to realise this life after death, this impossible extension, its a curse just as much as it is a miracle. We always wish we could know when we are going to lose someone so we can take that chance to say goodbye, but is that easier or harder? how do we wrestle with the pain of holding on but the pain of letting go? its a situation we cannot win, its simply a situation that has to happen, and we have to let time tick on. 

there’s so many moments i want to bring attention to in this series but i’ll hold back and just talk on the 4 that feel the most special to me. first, a personal one, because in so many ways oumi reminds me of myself, and never has that been more true than the line “honestly, i feel comfortable when i’m alone. and i hate myself for being comfortable”. i cant think of another character that has embodied this anxiety i have in myself so much, and so simply, this ridiculous contradiction of being so at peace in your own company and despising that peace sometimes, wishing it wasn’t so peaceful, so maybe you wouldn’t be alone, maybe you’d do something, go out there, find people and things to do, and yet all that time maybe you’d be thinking “i’d like it so much better now if i was at home by myself”. its kind of ridiculous, and maybe people like us do need a koichi to be the company in our lonely peace, but yeah... i just have never felt so seen by a show before.

secondly, that final conversation oumi has with his father, because this whole time the situation feels so insular. even though other people know, and other people love koichi, and koichi loves other people, this is about oumi and koichi, and no one can truly understand the immensity of what those two are feeling in that moment. its like i said, you cant understand it unless you’re in it, unless you’ve experienced it. and yet, at the end, this minorly present, distant father comes in and says “what you’re going through, i went through that too”. and its the kind of conversation that doesn’t happen because they’ve both experienced this supernatural phenomenon of a love one existing after death, it happens because they’ve both lost people they’ve loved, and that something thats universal, and the people watching don’t need to have experienced anything supernatural to empathise with that. its when the audience truly realise that this story might be insular to them, but the story has also been told infinite times by countless people, and such the emotion of it is both theirs and everyones.

third, i think my heart actually crumbled to pieces when koichi said someone could have 2 number 1s. its his phrase, he loves mitchan the most, mitchan is his number 1. and its only given more weight when oumi says it back, and even more so when we hear his ending lines, about always wanting to be number 1 to someone, and that someone being his number 1 too, and how much of a miracle that is. for that same person, knowing he has to leave that person he loves the most, to say you can have 2 number 1s, saying to oumi its ok, you can move on, in the future you can have people that are precious to you, thats so fucking beautiful, and is an act of such love i cant even put it into words. you can feel so guilty sometimes for moving on from a loved one, for even feeling like you’re replacing them, so that gesture, that permission, that almost request, to not lose happiness and love because you’re losing them, to let yourself be happy again, because thats the biggest gift you could give to those you lose, thats just beautiful. 

and finally, the moments in episode 6 where koichi is starting to disappear, and when people start to walk into rooms and not see him, i don’t think i’ve ever seen such a good metaphor for what its like to have a same-sex partner and for them to never truly be seen as your partner. because when that nurse walked in and was just talking to oumi, like koichi wasn’t there and yet he was, and oumi got so mad because thats the most important person in his life how dare you not see him, how dare you ignore him. i think it was him saying ignore that connected it for me, because thats what its like when you walk in with a same sex partner and you’re not recognised or seen as a couple. I thought to myself if this nurse walked in and oumi was sat with a girl, how he’d instantly be asked if its his girlfriend, but no he’s sat with a boy so you dont even bother asking, either because you dont think to or dont want to. we get flashes of it throughout the show with people not knowing about their relationship or the relationship between the teachers, how the gay is hidden. and with koichi gone but not gone, he’s like a ghost in oumi’s world, and i feel like that’s what it can feel like sometimes, walking around with someone you feel like no one else can see when theyre all you can see. theyre there but no one draws attention to them, no one wants to acknowledge them or it, the relationship, the ghost in the room, to the point you want to scream they do exist, how dare you think they dont. and when oumi gets angry on koichi’s behalf, thats what happens, thats what it can sometimes feel like experiencing homophobia. its horrid and angering and you want to scream because how dare they do that to the most important person in the world but theyre at peace with it. koichi has accepted his fate much like someone learns to accept hate and harrasment, they become at peace with it. and you can get angry all you like but that doesn’t change anything, that doesnt stop it from happening, thats what it feels like. you get that when you lose someone, you get angry when other people have moved on when you cant, you wont, you dont want to, you think why dont people care anymore, how can they be so unfair and unkind and unfeeling, which is why its shocking that themes of loss can mirror these queer experiences, where a partner can feel invisible to everyone even when their heart is beating. thats why i think this blending of actual loss and actual invisibility with queerness being hidden and unseen is just heart-breaking genius.

this show is heavy, and has honestly brought out in me one of the most condensed visceral reactions to media ive ever had. i feel sad, i feel drained, i feel broken. ive cried so much, and my sadness is physical, my heart hurts, it feels heavy. and yet... i do feel at peace. i feel at peace with this sadness because its something you have to learn to do in life. these experiences are inevitable and ive always tried to avoid these heavier shows, things i know will hurt and make me sad and feel things, where there isn’t a core of happiness, a good ending to keep you together. but sometimes it has to be embraced to see the beauty in it, because as koichi said, despite what happens, despite the tragedy and sadness and loss, at the core of the story if two people meeting and falling in love, and how that simple, human connection, that we all have, is a miracle, so treasure it. 

#jemmo sad hours #im literally writing this through tears #i just needed to rant otherwise the sadness would eat me up and id become a ball of depression for a week #this show is just stunning #and such incredible performances by the leads #that scene in the last ep of them holding each other and koichi sobbing #honestly ive never seen anything so intimate and touching and heartbreaking that was just phenomenal #im so grateful for this show and its message and the love and care everyone involved put into it #these plots can so often be overdone or cliche or sad just for sadness sake #but this felt simple and pure and raw in a way that trusted the story and characters and performers to covey the emotional weight with #understated sincerity and i adore that #nothing extra nothing unnecessary just how it feels to be in love and lose that person #they know they dont have to overplay that #they know if its acted and put together and produced well that it will say everything it needs to #im in love #and ill never rewatch this show again bc i cant take the heartbreak but ill treasure it forever #eternal yesterday #made by jemmo

Lan Zhan's been very busy. The Lan enterprise is opening another branch, but they ran into some rather disastrous difficulties and fixing it takes all of Lan Zhan's time. Wei Ying understands. He gives his boyfriend the needed space. But it has led to weeks and weeks of Wei Ying having dinner all by himself. Watching movies on the sofa, snuggled in the blanket instead of Lan Zhan's arms. Even the sex, which now happens rarely, is quick and more to satisfy each other's physical urges than the emotional need for closeness.

'enterprises' is he a fucking businessman. is lwj neglecting wwx to work on business shit. omg. ngl this entire setup feels like the author is making wwx out to be a neglected stay at home wife whose emotionally distant husband works all the time. doing the dishes, making dinner, associated only with domesticity, crying silently in the kitchen while packing up another meal his busy bf refused to join him for. this is unfortunately a pretty common theme for bad wx works

Done with the dishes, he heads to the bedroom, takes a quick shower and slips into his pyjama bottoms. He brushes his teeth and looks up into the mirror. His face seems pale in the harsh lights of the bathroom, silver eyes reddened.

SILVER EYES. I wonder if I could fill out a bingo board with wx fic cliches with this one

#okay silver eyes is not a cliche it's a pretty popular and not refuted hc. but I think it's very silly #this is wild bc all lwj wants to do is hang out with wwx and eat food with him and play music with/for him and tenderly care for him #and also he likes teaching and saving people too. but if you remove his love for wwx and don't shore up his principles #or make it clear how important this thing is that he's focusing on instead of wwx. then its just not him #he did in the past put his principles over wwx but this isn't what's happening here this is a fucking business deal #and wwx wouldn't just passively accept this either methinks. after four years? he's going to get heard #ficblogging

#❪ if i loved you less i might be able to talk about it more ❫ / ooc #yes it's cliche but consider that i would eat it up anyway

[atvbs]

the biggest tip i have for people who are aiming to do the ap studio art portfolios are. be aware of the content your pieces are conveying. the story they tell. do they tell a cohesive story. smth that ties them together someway.

if you have a piece whos story is vague and unclear. try to add smth more to help bring forward the meaning it wants to depict to the viewer.

#loner.txt #c*llege b*ard eats that shit up. #and try to avoid being cliche. do smth different. dont be afraid do do smth different. #this is just from my personal experience from my own portfolio #and my ap art classmates portfolios and their scores

Simultaneously want to write horrific transformation whump with Starling and gay shit where Flint and Oath are so homo for each other

#elec rambles #yes i ship flint and oath #THEYRE GOING TO GET CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT #AND CHANGE N STUFF #also i was like ‘what if i just made my ocs poly’ and now starflint #and oathflint exist #albeit i dont talk about them here much bc. idk i feel like it needs to happen in the story for it to matter idk #maybe i should talk about them more tho #like ok flint and oath are gonna do your classic enemies to lovers things where you know. they go through changes and fall for each other #yada yada cliched but honestly. with my ocs i eat that trope up #and then like. they dont confess and eventually flint gets a turn to get whumped!! and romance kind of needs to take a backseat #even though rheres something obviously going on with flint and starling too and oath is like 🤨 girl #not because flint has two crushes polyamory is actually like. accepted in angel society but hes like. . what is up with you two #anyway yeah just thinking about gay ass men being vulnerable #thinking about them holding each other gently you know how it is
