#gay lil punch & the hand going right back into his coat pocket lol #idk what this subplot was for but. cute #mash #i guess with that episode with the french lady. she was saying how sorry she was that he isn't much of a boy at all #bc he's never carefree and never lets himself experience the whimsy. it's good 2 see him experience the stupid stuff for fun #(also that ep was like. my family won't ever accept you with your unconventional ways => reading it with DOS being closeted..... poignant) #which is why i think him + klinger subplots are so fun. klinger is impulsive and wild and sometimes v basic #and drags charles into situations he'd never find himself in. and charles seems annoyed but when hes with klinger #he lets himself be 'stupid' and enjoys doing the stupid stuff. he's not verbally nice to klinger still.. calling him dumb and all but #i think klinger is such a great guy bc he knows that's how charles expresses himself and he's just afraid to let things happen to him. #and he keeps on going back to charles for his enterprises and adventures and includes him. and charles has changed a lot thru him u know. #anyways.

ok but the fact that "aziraphale is softening. they haven't spoken in a hundred years: he's realizing they're still friends" and "there's no need to thank me that's what...friends...are for" was in the same night is making me go INSANE

#we NEED to talk more abt the 1941 ep im so serious im not normal about it like i had such high expectations and it suppressed them all. #am i disappointed there wasn't a rejection scene like i predicted?? yes ofc but also aziraphale said he did the apology dance that year so #i wonder what else could've fucking happened #but anyway. let's focus on what DID happen: aziraphale literally GLOWING with love in the car. crowley telling him to shut up cause of a #compliment. aziraphale helping crowley out and crowley looking at him like 'you'd do that for me?'. crowley not only letting aziraphale #practice magic with him but ACTIVELY playing a character to help him and i mean that scene was literally just crowley flirting with him #crowley indulging aziraphale by going to the magic shop with him and agreeing to participate in his show despite the fact that he NEVER EVEN #SHOT A GUN BEFORE. him just leafing thru the guidebook till he realizes there's a miracle blocker than starting to frantically flip thru it #her hands SHAKING on the gun and them being so afraid of hurting az. 'no paperwork :))' sure my guy that's what u r so happy about ofc #'but do u really think it went well' 'absolutely' with such sincerity. the book description saying smth abt ifa demon were to happen across #aziraphale they should report it immediately to the demon crowley. 'you could've just walked away' 'well you said 'trust me'' 'and you did' #its just. its one of my favorite eps it's so nice #good omens #azicrow #good omens s2 #aziracrow #go s2 spoilers #go s2 #good omens script book #good omens s2 spoilers #aziraphale x crowley

the thing abt mizu is that she is extremely non-binary in such a genderqueer way that she has homoerotic energy w men and extremely sapphic energy w women.

#i know this is gross simplification bc mizu's relationship to womanhood is quite a few layers of complicated #bc she has never been allowed to be human let alone woman in a society where mixed race is seen as a greater condemnation than womanhood #and a lot of her dressing up as a man is to save herself from the reach of said misogyny which wont let her be addressed as a woman #but sure be dehumanized as one. #but it is funny to think of how homoerotically charged her interactions w taigen are. as opposed to her interactions w women. w akemi. #i have not finished the show yet i've still quite a few eps to go. but god her being mixed race has been so incredibly isolating. #she struggles w intimacy she feels like she has to do everything alone bc who in the world wouldnt hate her? would not turn her in for coin #her easily clockable ethnicity has challenged both her ability to live w womanhood #and be a part of womanhood in a society where women are treated so poorly. #anyway this is a joke post simply to comment on how mizu's chemistry w taigen is as opposed to mizu's chemistry w akemi #i'd beseech you to not take it seriously. like i said. its a gross simplification. and this is a joke post. #im watching blue eye samurai and the art style is pretty cool

What a lot of people don’t realize is that Neung and Chopper are in the same boat here. Opposite spectrums of course, but both are on the cusp of loosing a parent. Their ONLY parent. The only difference being Chopper’s dad is the perpetrator whilst Neung and his mom (whose in a coma) are the victims in this situation. It would be hard for anyone to turn against their parent especially knowing how dangerous they are. I can understand Ben’s frustration, but he needs to put himself in Chopper’s shoes. Although we know Chopper is going to do the right thing, his hesitation is VALID given the situation. You have to be VERY careful and stealthy, which is exactly what it seems like Chopper is trying to do.

#he knows what he’s doing #Chopper isn’t dumb #it’s a difficult situation #you can’t just jump ship #Ben needs to calm down #ben x chopper #perthchimon #palm x nueng #palm x nuengdiao #never let me go the series #never let me go #never let me go series #ep 9

brother crab's winter 2024 parting thoughts: high card s2

WHAT THE HELL

HIGH CARD IS GOOD?!

tl;dr very flashy and aesthetic, consistently good in that regard, but the story was not always gripping to me. however, with the ultimate payoff in the last three eps, totally worth it imo

full review:

wow wow wow i'm kind of glad i fell way behind on anime and had the last three eps of s2 to binge all at once because hoooly shit i enjoyed that immensely

at no point did i think high card was bad, but it definitely had moments where it didn't fully grab me. there were times when it felt like all flash, no substance

and it's definitely not perfect, i have some serious and fairly significant gripes with it. mainly i'm really bummed that leo, wendy, and vijay never really got fully fleshed out. i mean i get it, finn's the main character and chris is the thinly veiled love interest also important so obviously they're going to take up most of the time, but i really feel like the other members of the crew had so much unexplored potential (especially wendy and vijay, because leo did sort of get his moment as a factor in the old man yaoi situation)

speaking of which THE OLD MAN YAOI!! man there were a lot of moving pieces in this show, and sometimes they came together in messy ways (or didn't really come together at all... some bits do still feel pretty disjointed and jumpy to me, tbh)

but overall the payoff of the s2 finale was absolutely worth it to me, particularly since it dealt with my favorites of those moving pieces: the old man yaoi and the sudden YANDERE ONIISAN ARC

i find myself really wishing the show had gone harder on both of those threads sooner, but like... honestly i'm not disappointed with how they played out. the whole theodore and ban thing could not have been more tropey (YEARS of loathing only for a "the one i wanted to protect all along was... you" and then dying for each other like HELLO yes an absolute tropefest BUT TROPES THAT I LOVE. GOOD FOR THOSE TOXIC DOOMED YAOI MFERS)

tilt has always been fascinating to me right from the character design and i am more or less satisfied with how things played out for him too, though i kind of wish we'd had more of this development spread throughout the series. i guess it was there, but... i dunno. in some ways feels like there could have been More (but i may be biased)

like you gotta feel bad for him, it's a sad story, but also that extreeemely creepy unhinged yandere oniisan "i have been stalking you i literally have a wall with giant blown up photos of you i hate the other guy who is calling himself your brother" sequence was SO FUCKING DELICIOUS LIKE WTF??? stunned and absolutely blown away by how hard they went on that, what a delight

(ironically it makes me think about how unhinged matakara in bucchigiri?! just doesn't work while unhinged tilt in high card works super well, but this is not about bucchigiri?! so i won't get too into that)

i am still admittedly just. kind of like. idk. i go back and forth on finn and chris, as characters and as partners. i don't dislike them but they aren't always all that compelling to me. sometimes they definitely are, but sometimes they just fall a bit flat to me. this probably isn't an issue with them as characters, though, just a matter of taste. i occasionally found the chemistry between them lacking as well, but sometimes it was really on point

same feeling about the crew dynamics in general. i looove a good like heist crew or spy agency crew, whatever it is, when the dynamics just click. and sometimes they didn't, here. i am too sleepy to articulate it properly right now but it just felt like there was something missing, some pieces not really fitting together. i didn't dislike any of the characters, but just... i guess wanted more team shenanigans? maybe there was no time for that but it would have been nice (like this is one show that could have done with a few filler and/or fluff episodes, imo!)

anyway. christ. my eye emoji-ing at tilt based solely on his character design finally paid off after two gay ass seasons lmao. good night

#crab watches #winter 2024 #parting thoughts #high card #GENUINELY WAS NOT EXPECTING TO ENJOY THE LAST THREE EPS THIS MUCH BUT I SO SO SO DID #although lol holy infodump tf #this show loooves its infodumps esp in the second half of the second season #i didn't personally mind all the monologuing that much i guess #like it delivered the information fine #but the fact that there were so many ''LET ME TELL YOU A STORY YOU'VE NEVER HEARD BEFORE'' scenes in a ROW #was just kind of funny #anyway. it's not like overall the best thing ever but it is wild fun and really paid off in the end (for me at least) #i am a sucker for toxic old man yaoi and the yandere oniisan was a bonus #damn that was fun #alright. going to sleep for real now lmao

[kanene-yaaay]

Look. Look.

I need to get it out of my system, okay? I just need to. Immediately

Himmel + cheer up tickles

The reason?

I rest my case. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk I am slowing descending into madness here

#not me literally writing 1863635 tickles hcs about this guy HE MAKES ME LOSE MY MIND #never though I would get attatched to him #literally watching the first ep sent a screenshot of him to my friend saying 'If he dies I'm dropping out' #one minute after I was sending her screams #anyway #never been so close to writing a self insert fic in MY ENTIRE LIFE. probably will commission some art w him in the future LIKE AAAAA #Wanna put him in a mcrowave and SHAKE BECAUSE HOW DARE YOU. HOW DARE YOU LEAVE MARKS HOW DARE YOU LEAVE A PIECE OF YOURSELF IN EVERY VILLAG #EVERY FRIEND EVERY ADVENTURE EVERY INTERACTION #and don't even let me start talking about Friern because I will go crazy #this anime broke and healed me so much #Kanene being Kanene #not even going to tag this w the anime I shall perish alone #'oh but kanene when you say a self insert you mean a reade-' nope. i'm dragging my sona by the hand and throwing into that world #and then carefully building an entire background with daydreamed interactions and relationships until I get to the point of cheer up tickle #Gosh haven't done one of those since..... 2018 I think #Time to get my dear oc out of under my bed as it seems

Someone pointed out recently (sorry, can't remember who) that Palm seems to always have palm leaves or trees in the design on his shirts...so it was interesting to see that by the end of ep 6 Palm had instead worn a striped shirt whilst Neung was wearing shorts with a palm tree design for the first time. 👀

#never let me go #the clothes mean something #at least I like to think so #and respectthepetty too #AND DON'T THINK I DIDN'T NOTICE THE GAY BEDSHEETS! #I immediately thought of you khun petty! 💖 #never let me go ep 6 #I think this was my favourite ep so far #and BY FAR my favourite scene of the whole series was neung speaking thai english AND mandarin #I was fucking GRINNING the whole time #a-mazing #why can't I wake up just /knowing/ another language #mandarin would be cool #as would spanish #and thai of course #swedish isn't exactly a useful second language #but I was pleased to hear music by a swedish singer/songwriter in this ep

Mob Psycho 100 having "even though I don't want to hurt others, existing as a human being means I can't avoid it, so I'll make sure to be responsible for any pain I cause" as a theme is very rad, I think.

#you know #taking responsibility #accepting that you're going to hurt others because you exist is so sucky but so real #mob spent his childhood afraid he might hurt ritsu (or anyone else) again #ritsu spent his childhood holding back because he blamed himself instead of trying to talk about it #reigen has trust issues piling up in every corner but he makes sure never to let his problems hurt the people he loves #(ofc there is one exception but spoilers) #(I didn't watch the new ep yet did we reach it?) #serizawa needed to face himself head on and accept that he can choose a life he feels satisfied by even if he thinks he's not worthy #every character is always found trying to grasp their situation and make it something they can solve #whether through apologising or having a long chat or switching careers #every character changes because they choose to exist #sorry most of this post ended up in the tags lmao #mp100 #mob psycho 100 #mp100 analysis #shigeo #reigen #ritsu #serizawa #oh as for hanazawa it's coming to terms with the fact being a normal person actual makes him special in ways he didn't know #and for shou it's nothing he was always perfect #that's my sons yo

idk what kind of crack pond and phuwin laced their performances for this show with, but every week it has me foaming at the mouth and somehow this ep was even more. like... pond has just absolutely nailed the art of facial expressions. i cannot help but stare at him in every scene and try to catch every tiny alteration that show the smallest changes in how he’s feeling. bc neung is right, palm is so fucking easy to read, he wears his feelings on his sleeves not bc he shares them vocally but bc he just cannot keep them from showing on his face. meanwhile phuwin is a masterclass in facial expressions in a whole other way, bc neung has mastered the art of keeping his feelings hidden and not letting them show and putting up an act, so you can see the moment he decides the path he’s gonna take in a conversation of situation, the second hes chosen how to deal with something. and his face will shift, even his body language, its like you can physically see him entering a different mode before he even speaks a word, and thats when he becomes sassy neung or playful neung or rude neung, or any number of his alter egos. and you can see in his moments of truth and vulnerability that he doesnt do this, its less that he enters a mode and more that you can see a moment or someone elses words actually hitting him and affecting him, he doesnt put up the front first, instead he responds. you see it in the music room with ben or in moments when palm says something meaningful or romantic and he actually lets himself feel it instead of guarding against it. and thats why he cant seem to get through to palm, even though he has some sort of feeling for him that he may or may not be able to identify, he cant show it even when he wants to, instead it comes through in layers and contradictions that palm cant make sense of, cant gauge his feelings just like we cant read his face. bc neung needs to express those feelings honestly for them to get through to palm, but it feels like neung has never been honest with his own feelings in his life, not when it really matters and not when its for himself. 

#i simply had to rant bc this ep has made me insane #theyre both just too good #and perth and chimon too their expressions are incredible #and its like you can tell jojo knew this and trusted this bc he loves to linger on these long close ups of their faces where we see every #twitch and movement and it tells us so much its incredible #never let me go

I'm vibrating pt. 3

forehead kisses and touches: the gestures of love and affection that are the epitome of casual intimacy, intimacy that transcends anything sexual, intimacy that fulfils the carnal desire to be as physically close to Your Person as possible, to when you need to breathe the same air as them, both peaceful in the reassurance that they are together

(See the first two posts here)

#yeah i'm so normal about all this #bl drama #bl series #forehead kisses #touching foreheads #i think i'll have enough for a pt 4. i hope #why r u #why r u the series #my only 12% #ghost host ghost house #lita #love in the air #love in the air the series #lita the series #history 4: close to you #NLMG #never let me go #yes it's technically from the our skyy ep but idc #tokyo in april is #dna i love you #plus & minus #utsukushii kare #i haven't even seen ghgh yet but the chemistry of these two actors drives me a little bit inane ngl lads

[dramarants]

ah they just had the fiancee cheat with arguably the slimiest character in the show to try and balance out the leads finally kissing, all of a sudden spells aren't real and the curse is entirely forgotten they're solving everything with lazy ass writing okay

#don't get me wrong - shinyu trying to leave hongjo alone while desperately yearning being protective and playfully possessive/jealous #only to kiss her when he's so overcome with accepting his (and realizing her) truth SHOULD be delicious #and yet... once my bi heart looks past the chemistry/visuals... 😐 #destined with you #also implicating hongjo as stealing 2nd fl's man twice for so long and having her slapped - make it make sense pls #like yes she's lonely immature and being wooed made her feel good inside but she never encouraged shinyu's behavior #hasn't even figured out she doesn't like jae kyung or whatever anymore for herself #technically shinyu's feelings aren't her responsibility esp w/o magic but the show's premise rn makes her the 'other woman' to blame #we're in the middle of things unravelling but i s2g if she doesn't have agency or a modicum or self respect/honesty in the next eps.. 🤦🏾‍♀️ #but going back to the post - the show could have justified shinyu's breakup with the fact that he wasn't invested from the beginning #or that 2nd fl is a two faced bully and show that forcing relationships bc of status/attraction/history/family pressure ends poorly #but instead it's taking a female character who would be justifiably upset and vilifying her so that her pain seems deserved #she's already unlikable and pitiful (there's like only two women in this entire show portrayed positively) but no #let's make her as 2d & evil as possible to uplift hongjo instead of putting in work to develop the lead/story & appeal to the audience #writers prove me wrong challenge
