I've taken a couple days to ruminate on episode 128 in comparison to chapter 298. Mainly because episode 128 has given me such mixed signals when it comes to studio Bones current objective.
In season four and five we saw a lot of bkdk scenes robbed completely or at least misportrayed in comparison to it's manga counter parts. And though I just made a whole post recently regarding the new found hope I had based on how Bones handled Katsuki Bakugo: Rising, the handling of this episode is beyond what I was anticipating.
Not only did they not cut bkdk scenes but they ADDED to them. In chapter 298, Bakugo does not wake up and whisper "Deku" and Sero does not put an emphasis on him remaining calm when hearing the news of Deku's condition. These are not completely off base, but they are /heavily emphasized/!
So what does this mean? We knew Bones was playing a long game when it came to season 4 and 5... But were they playing a longer game before that? With the existence of the new opening sequence AND these additional bkdk scenes at the same time, it makes me wonder...are they in on it? Is their lack of commentary on the bkdk dialogue NOT a dodge against bkdks but instead a dodge against mainstream? I've never considered this... But maybe it's time that we do.

I hadn't really been thinking about it since this latest promo, but the fact that they have such a bad storm going on during the cruise disaster is an interesting choice bc what's the purpose? It doesn't seem like there'd be a lack of drama without it, between the pirates, the explosion, the capsize... but yes, put Buck in a metal aerial cage in a storm!
I was thinking about that. There's a storm, the explosion, the pirates, it's very interesting considering there are only 2 storms in the show, and both end in someone almost dying as a direct consequence of lightning, I mean, Buck did die, but the lightning does collapse the well and almost kills Eddie too, so like, we're going greatest hits? I mean, the pirates can attack anyone, and Athena, Chim, Hen, have been attacked before, the ocean and Buck are not friends, fire and the possibility of losing his wife again for Bobby, Eddie also doesn't have a good relationship guns or storms, so like, the cruise is gonna be one big trigger for everyone involved lol, good to see Frank is a back because he's gonna be working overtime with them. I'm so curious about what they're gonna do there. And they're all going to it via helicopter. They're legit going all out in the trauma and drama for it and I'm so here for it aoksaoksasokasokas

Love the contrast between the Americans’ “Apollo” and the Soviets’ “Sputnik.” You got the Americans naming their rocket after a Greek god trying to communicate the grandness and importance of this rocket. And you got the Soviets naming their rocket “fellow traveler.” Like a friend you go on an adventure with together. This rocket is our little friend lol

i just think it's important to understand that love is not the antithesis of horror in fact it's often the catalyst

probably time for this story i guess but when i was a kid there was a summer that my brother was really into making smoothies and milkshakes. part of this was that we didn't have AC and couldn't afford to run fans all day so it was kind of important to get good at making Cool Down Concoctions.
we also had a patch of mint, and he had two impressionable little sisters who had the attitude of "fuck it, might as well."
at one point, for fun, this 16 year old boy with a dream in his eye and scientific fervor in heart just wanted to see how far one could push the idea of "vanilla mint smoothie". how much vanilla extract and how much mint can go into a blender before it truly is inedible.
the answer is 3 cups of vanilla extract, 1/2 cup milk alternative, and about 50 sprigs (not leaves, whole spring) of mint. add ice and the courage of a child. idk, it was summer and we were bored.
the word i would use to describe the feeling of drinking it would maybe be "violent" or perhaps, like. "triangular." my nose felt pristine. inhaling following the first sip was like trying to sculpt a new face. i was ensconced in a mesh of horror. it was something beyond taste. for years after, i assumed those commercials that said "this is how it feels to chew five gum" were referencing the exact experience of this singular viscous smoothie.
what's worse is that we knew our mother would hate that we wasted so much vanilla extract. so we had to make it worth it. we had to actually finish the drink. it wasn't "wasting" it if we actually drank it, right? we huddled around outside in the blistering sun, gagging and passing around a single green potion, shivering with disgust. each sip was transcendent, but in a sort of non-euclidean way. i think this is where i lost my binary gender. it eroded certain parts of me in an acidic gut ecology collapse.
here's the thing about love and trust: the next day my brother made a different shake, and i drank it without complaint. it's been like 15 years. he's now a genuinely skilled cook. sometimes one of the three of us will fuck up in the kitchen or find something horrible or make a terrible smoothie mistake and then we pass it to each other, single potion bottle, and we say try it it's delicious. it always smells disgusting. and then, cerimonious, we drink it together. because that's what family does.
