-Oh, to hell with the last hurrah. Let's keep going.

-It's a big change of heart.

-Yeah, they happen.

-Seriously?

-Look, as long as you get me home safe and on time, everything is great.

[certifiedlesbianvampire]

this week's episode was one that i've been looking forward to for a while, and while not perfect in execution, i still found it interesting, especially how it expanded on matakara and how his and arajin's fight played out.

arajin is a character that is guilty, that flees unless absolutely necessary not to, and would rather save face. he is a character that is meant to be unlikeable. contrast this with matakara, who is kind and considerate, helps his friends, and is willing to reach out, even if someone has hurt him. even their reasons for fighting could be pit against each other: arajin wants to fight to lose his virginity, and matakara wants to fight for his brother, arajin, and his friends.

the difference between arajin’s idealization of mahoro and matakara’s idealization of arajin is that, at the very least, you’re meant to make fun of/laugh at arajin- because you're not supposed to like him. matakara’s idealization of arajin is not put in a comedic light, because you're made to sympathize with him; you're meant to root for him. another example of a character who idealizing another person: mahoro. mahoro is self-aware she’s delusional. she’s self aware her brother doesn’t want her, and because she is so weird about him, her brother doesn’t open up to her as a result. but even mahoro (as much as i hate the brocon thing) can recognize it'll never happen. she still has her core values that don't stem from her brother.

arajin and matakara idealize people for two similar reasons. arajin is in love with the idea of mahoro, because she represents what is expected of arajin, a guy who wants to be un notable because he believes he can’t do more.

matakara idealizes arajin, because arajin represents the simpler, ideal life, the best life one can live as honki person, one that he strives toward. he idolizes arajin because he himself needs something to cling onto after his brother is gone.

matakara and arajin are two characters both stuck in the past. they both keep ideals from their childhood; because arajin couldn’t protect matakara, he believes he is weak and cannot do more than that on his own. matakara believes that since arajin wanted to become honkibito together, he would still want the same deep down and it’s him who’s weak.

matakara puts his faith in people, even if it hurts him. arajin doesn't put his faith in people, but he gets hurt because he doesn't trust anyone. both put their faith in different things because they don't trust themselves, so they let others dictate it for them. both are stubborn about their beliefs, yet fragile, and it hurts them when they are questioned so they double down on it.

arajin is an asshole, hell, he's a bad friend, but he never lied about his motives. matakara seeing their relationship through rose-tinted glasses and arajin being detached harms the both of them; it prevents their relationship from progressing any further.

arajin is *partially right, he is not is not what matakara thinks he is: the ideal matakara holds for himself and him. one of the key things that is first emphasized about honki people is that, "they don't run away." this is what arajin has been doing all this time. even then, arajin has not been tricking matakara in any capacity, because matakara has an idea of what arajin is, and clings to it for support.

*arajin didn’t lie back then about wanting to be honki people together, but since he believes he can’t do more for matakara (he’s used to running away) he avoids confrontation about it. matakara’s used these ideals as support so basically it’s like his beliefs were a lie

arajin is no longer the ideal that matakara saw in his childhood. now that matakara's ideals are shattered, he is vunerable to akutaro's & ichiya's manipulation.

i do think arajin and matakara are capable of being friends. however, they both need time and space to process their emotions. it’s shown that they can look out for each other, but one is overly committed (to an ideal version of the other) and the other is not. they need to find a middle ground to understand each other. i love their relationship because they're made out to be so different, yet they're so similar. i love how messy they both are, and i'm so excited to see how their relationship could possibly contrast ichiya/senya's. more importantly, i can't wait to see how their relationship develops/spirals from here.

#THIS FIGHT SCENE IS MY ROMAN EMPIRE. #wanted to add my thoughts to this discussion #also arajin picked the worst timing to confess this to matakara but good timing for the story lol #i cannot wait for the eng dub of ep 8 #i haven't talked abt the dub on here yet but i do think it's good. i feel like the vas really get the characters #what do u guys think the shadows represent? i havent rlly thought abt it yet #also forgot to add another thing but matakara's idealization of his brother is healthier because his brother is his closest family who is- #shown to care time and time again #contrast with arajin who started off as understandable since arajin did care/does care to an extent #but not to the extent matakara gives him credit for #because arajin is different/trying to convince matakara he’s different now #matakara asamine #arajin tomoshibi #bucchigiri?! #certifiedlesbianvampire’s rambles

I’m sorry, but the writing for the fight with the Thieves Guild was absolutely abysmal. Just another poorly paced battle. Also, Mal and MC just calmly discuss Mal’s value to the team and the world while Wren’s literally fighting for her life? Did they forget that it was only them three? They’re trying to convince us that the Thieves Guild will be formidable allies in the battle against the Ash Empire, but people can literally just stop and have full on conversations while facing them no problem?? As much as this was supposed to be Mal’s book and for all of the emotional weight his issues are supposed to carry, I feel like said issues are being treated so unseriously fr

#choices bolas #choices blades #blades of light and shadow #mal volari #playchoices #at the very least they could’ve had them continue to fight while talking #bc a major point is that they never have time for these emotional conversations #bc they’re always fighting or trying to solve a problem #so of course they have to work through this in the middle of a fight #but the fight can’t just come to a complete halt? #like am I making sense? #and if they didn’t want them to be fighting while discussing these things then why put it in that scene it makes no sense #esp bc as I said it makes the Thieves Guild look like they’re all talk when 2 out of the 3 people they’re attacking #are just standing around chilling #and it’s like 30 vs 3 #Safina was so cocky and for what #bitch I can’t take you seriously at all I’m literally laughing in your face rn #choices #choices stories you play #choices app

The Water Outlaws

fantasy inspired by a wuxia classic

a woman who’s an expert arms instructor is labelled a criminal after being assaulted by a powerful man

she joins a group of rebellious bandits who fight for justice, and becomes entangled in politics both with the group and the empire - who are trying to develop powerful magical weapons

mainly queer & female cast

#The Water Outlaws #aroaessidhe 2023 reads #i loved this a lot!! #I will say I think it has a few flaws: if I hadn't read audio it probably would have been a bit slow/weirdly paced #and i think there's too many characters that aren't developed fully enough #(maybe a result of being a retelling of something that had many characters ) #like there's setup for some amazing interesting relationships but they only get a couple scenes together? #there's this fight scene with the commander and a bit after it that made me insane then they didn't really interact after that.. #and lu junyi's storyline was a bit unconnected... #BUT ALSO the characters are all really cool and i can like. imagine in the gaps u know #LU DA my beloved himbo flower monk....i love her....... #also!!!! #no romance #there’s some discussion of a past ones…and maybe it was implying things between certain characters but I didn’t read it obviously that way #anyway i gave it five stars #its kinda one of those books where im like. #actually i would've liked more of a lot of things BUT also the baseline of what is here is already at a rly high level of what i like. so.

blah blah blah something about bradley shoving a hand at jake’s chest to push him away during a moment of provoked grief and anger blah blah blah something about that connecting to the moment at the end of the film where jake taps his hand over bradley’s heart right after he’s saved his life and they’ve taken the first steps towards peace with each other

#me when i (35m) have severe abandonment issues and give my nemesis (??m) a callsign that refers to his habit of up and leaving people behind #i have like. an essay in my notes app about their possible exes to lovers dynamic and why they would have broken up the first go round #and i will not stand for everyone just blaming bradley like Yes he pushes people away and lashes out but lbr… #jake is abrasive ON PURPOSE when hes trying to make a point so even if he is being pushed away. hes just gonna push back #and that is quite literally represented in their fight scene where he may not physically shove bradley back #but he doesnt back down either (ie: continuing to claim bradley cant fly the mission aka his initial point under the goading ab goose&mav) #i want to study these two under a microscope they are so interesting to me… #that moment when you a person w abandonment issues come across a person w commitment issues & discuss how to best maximize ur joint slay #sereshaw #hangster #no one jump me for talking to myself in the tags its what i do best

Last week, I posted a blog about my journey making videos about RWBY Volume 6. At the end of that post, I explained how I was gonna be challenging myself to write, record, edit, and put out a video discussing a specific scene from RWBY. That scene was the fight between Ruby and The Furious Cat.

I was able to successfully complete my challenge. The video will be going live at 6PM EST!

Alastor should have more anime style fight scenes.

I think that would fix a lot for me

#give our deer man his fight scenes #make him have the coolest transitions and poses and cool ass lines #idec if he loses i just want him to look cringely cool while doing it #🕯Alastor gets another anime style fight scene🕯 #bloopnik rambles #alastor hazbin #alastor #alastor hazbin hotel #alastor the radio demon #hazbin alastor #hazbin hotel alastor #radio demon #the radio demon #hazbin hotel #hazbin hotel discussion #hh #vivziepop #hellaverse

sertegra nation we dont talk about this enough

#too lazy to make a gif set rn #ANYWAYS oh my god #even without a shipping lens this scene is so so incredibly important i never see anyone address it #because integra is making her promise that they will see each other again and that she wont submit to millenium #that she wont leave her the way walter did. #the parallels between walter vs captain and seras vs captain are subtle but frightening #and it mostly deals with how integra says goodbye to both of them before the fight #also i like to think of the blood over her eyelid as foreshadowing to her losing her eye in the major fight... maybe im looking too deep #anyways besides all that i dont think theres not enough discussion of sertegra scenes outside of the infamous ep 4 moment #subscribe and hit that bell and let me know what ur fav sertegra moment is💥💥💥 #unless it's the part where they have gay sex we all know about that🔥🔥🔥 #hellsing #hellsing ultimate #sertegra #seras victoria #integra hellsing

I personally enjoy fight club because it’s very interesting to watch the physical and mental self destruction of person trying to find a purpose in life when they don’t desire the typical traditional american ideal life. To see the descent into delusion.

#the narrator is a passive party sometimes he doesn’t express much of an opinion about Tyler actions and philosophies #he goes with it no questions asked until a point were it’s to late #I’m thinking about the scene where the narrator is at work in the movies when he forget he left the original copy of the rules of fight club #in the copy machine at work and in the movies it goes the same #just the mood is diffrent the boss is bemused not necessarily annnoyed he think this is funny he’s mocking him a little like dafuq is this #is this your lol and the narrrator goes on his rant about shooting the building and halfway through he’s bored with the edgy response and is #not just questioning why does Tyler need this again? #I found that so interesting it was the first time he really had a question for Tyler because I’m seeing this as a big betrayal because when #the other fight club pop up he’s genuinely confused as to how in the hell he found the time #I’m still enjoying my read #I just want to add this comment and sentiment to the fight club discussion on here because 👀 I wanna discuss it! it fun #fight club #fight club book #fight club 1999 #will come back and edit the tags

OUR PRAYERS WERE ANSWERED

bodyguard au drabble # 3

OMG YES I SAW!!!! that’s literally so her i love it so much this mirror palais collection is so bodyguard au mikasa!!! and lia really blesses us with mikasa in the cutest outfits, i always look forward to her art when she posts 😭🩷

i'm sorry this took so long to reply to but i really wanted to write something for this, so i hope you enjoy!!! :)

also slight nsfw warning? lol!

While they weren’t necessarily sharing a mutual dislike for one another anymore, they weren’t necessarily friends either. But Eren also wouldn’t say they weren’t not friends either—it was complicated, but it wasn’t—he was her bodyguard whom she happened to live with, but there was something a bit more there—or at least he thought.

In the weeks since they had come to a truce of the sorts, they had developed a routine of the sorts. He would accompany her on her daily errands (as he was supposed to), but she welcomed his company rather than Mikasa feeling as if Eren was an unwanted presence. It was almost as if they were spending time together rather than Eren doing his job. Even when she spent hours trying on clothes, or trying to choose between (what Eren deemed was the same) lace ribbons, he found himself with the faintest hint of a smile on his face. Once they were back at her house, they would disperse amongst themselves until later in the evening when they would often cook together or watch whatever movie Mikasa picked for them.

The peace within the house was nice, and he found himself appreciating the little things a bit more. When she wasn’t busy throwing insults at him or criticizing every little thing he did, she was actually quite sweet. It was ironic to Eren how a lot of her personality was reminiscent of that first initial encounter—before she drugged him—leading Eren to believe maybe all of it hadn't been as much of an act as he had initially thought.

Today, much like any other day, after a day of various errands and a shower, Eren found himself preoccupied in the kitchen, but rather than cooking dinner like he usually would, he made himself a bowl of cereal, much to what he would assume would be Mikasa’s displeasure. Mikasa had him running around the entirety of the city, somehow managing to go through multiple burroughs (which he didn't even think was possible in NYC) for all of her menial errands, and he couldn't be bothered to make anything, so cereal would have to do.

He had made it through his second bowl of cereal when he heard Mikasa's voice on the phone, approaching. Her figure came into view, her hair damp and clinging to her back and her bangs pinned out of her face with little heart clips. She was wearing one of the many pair of pajamas she owned, today, these ones pink with little red hearts.

There weren't many things Eren allowed himself to indulge in when it came to Mikasa—he tried to keep those thoughts few and far between. But there was one thing that would plague his mind from time to time, no matter how hard he tried. It came in bouts of small moments when he was reminded that at the end of the day, he was a man living with an objectively attractive female who paid no mind to his presence, prancing around her house like she still lived alone.

It came in the form of Mikasa and her abundance of exquisitely crafted satin and silk pajamas—something that to the normal person, was seemingly harmless. Initially, it was. Eren found himself a bit endeared by her seemingly neverending collection, almost looking forward to which pair she'd wear every night—some patterned, some solid, some adorned with little embellishments or details of different fabrics.

But then, for reasons unbeknownst to him, the seemingly cute matching button-up shirts and pants turned into tiny shorts and slip shirts. So the thoughts that Eren tried not to allow cross his mind, ran rampant. When her clothes highlighted the curves of her body, accentuating every dip and crevice, leaving little to his imagination, and the dusking of her nipples against the smooth satin (since Mikasa refused to turn off the AC despite always being cold), it was hard for Eren to think anything but unholy things.

His mind ventured to places of how her skin would feel against his, if her sweet demeanor was applicable elsewhere, and if her smart mouth was good for other things too. And surely Mikasa, who at one point Eren had been sure was Satan incarnate, wasn't all that innocent either—with her sultry looks and sly touches—which only fueled his thoughts further. But Eren allowed these to only exist in his brain in brief glimpses, and would quickly tuck them back into the deepest crevices of his brain where they belonged—for the sake of his sanity and his pride. He would resume his gaze from her very nicely crafted body to her equally pretty face, pretending that he hadn't just imagined multiple ways he wanted to fuck her.

When Mikasa's gaze finally met Eren's he made it a point to keep his eyes on her face, which is exactly how he noticed her face turn from her usual blank expression to a pout as she hung up the phone to whoever she was talking to.

"Are you... eating cereal?" She asked as she walked toward him.

Eren raised a brow quizzically, "Yes, is that an issue?"

"Oh," she huffed, her pout only intensifiying. "Well, what am I gonna eat? You already ate—we normally make something together."

Eren shrugged nonchalantly, knowing she could order takeout like usual when she didn't feel like making something. But it was obvious what the actual problem was—Eren was a bit too oblivious to realize—she just wanted to spend time with Eren.

Eren knew he would probably make her something, always giving in to her, but now that they were a bit more amicable, he enjoyed his fair share of riling her up to compensate for the months of borderline verbal abuse she put him through.

"Last time I checked, I was your bodyguard, not your personal chef," he replied blankly, but the faintest hint of a smile gave way to his teasing.

"You know, sometimes I think I liked it better when you didn't talk to me," her voice dripping with the attitude that Eren had been accustomed to at one point. She glared at him as she walked past him towads the fridge, Eren stopping her before she could make it all the way.

He tugged lightly on the bottom of her shirt, Mikasa swatting as his hand in response. "Mikasa, I was kidding. What did you want?"

"I don't want anything—I can make it myself," she responded, crossing her arms. She glared down at where he sat on her bar stool, Eren trying to maintain his gaze at her face and not her body, which he was at eye level with. He found himself particularly enamored with these little heart pajamas—finding them endearing, but also for the little slivers of skin they showed—but not only could he give Mikasa the satisfaction in knowing that, he couldn't allow it for his own pride.

"Why are you like this? You're a brat sometimes, you know that?"

"And you're annoying," she bit back, but despite her snarky remarks, she seemingly admit defeat, taking a seat, nonetheless.

Eren released a pained sigh as he stood up, knowing he only contributed to her behavior, being the one to constantly indulge in her. He took off his sweatshirt, leaving him in just his t-shirt , not wanting to get it dirty. He almost threw it into the chair before he had half the mind to shove it over Mikasa's head, Mikasa face shocked as he helped her put it on (not bothering to care whether she had wanted to or not), his sweatshirt almost swallowing her tiny frame whole.

"Here, I can see you shivering," he said dully, though he knew it was only an excuse for his own sanity's sake.

"Oh, thanks," she replied, her cheeks flushing the tiniest tinge of pink. "And thanks for making me something to eat, Eren," she added a few moments later as Eren turned on the stove.

"Yea, yea. It's my job, right?" A smile on his face as he rolled his eyes playfully.

And as he sat there a while later, watching Mikasa happily eat the grilled cheese he made her, a smile on her face, while adorned in one of his random sweatshirts, he realized he had royally fucked himself. If he thought seeing her in her clothes did something to him, seeing her in his clothes—combined with her long inky hair splayed across her shoulders, a rare sight to see; the same doe-eyed face that had got him that night just months ago; and her rare but sickeningly sweet personality, that made his heart do a double take—was only so much worse.
