it is not the tragic hero

it is not the time-soaked branches that brush past your face in the wind

in the dark in the woods

the western wind blows not in your hair through your coat

the clock ticks forward

in the house with no mantle

the books don't yellow from age as the dust collects on your spine

the calendar will run out

the door will slam shut

it is not your time yet

it is no one's time at all

Sirius wearing a skirt when he’s staying at school for Christmas holidays and nobody cares because the wizarding world doesn’t have gendered clothing.

#It is canon information that clothing isn’t gendered in the wizarding world #And that most wizards wouldn’t care if a man wore a skirt or dress #The Weasley’s are the exception but they know a lot more about muggles and wear muggle clothing sometimes #Which is why they see dresses as being gendered #I saw an hc that Remus would talk back to a teacher telling Sirius off for “wearing girls clothes” and it made me upset because firstly Rem #Would not do that #I say this as a remus kinnie that man would never speak back to a teacher #And secondly as previously states gendered clothes don’t exist in the wizarding world at large #They wear robes and if Sirius decided to wear a skirt under his robes nobody would care #His parents wouldn’t care that he was wearing “women’s clothing” they’d care that they’re muggle!!!! #I’m sorry but that post made me angry #Post #sirius black #harry potter #marauders #marauders era

In trying to make a quick joke in only five minutes, I have had to ask myself questions about colors, the recognizability of symbols, and my own photo editing skills. The polyamorous flag doesn't seem to have quite the same effect when faded over an image as the rainbow pride flag, either due to the saturation of its colors or due to just being less instantly recognizable.

Now, with that said:

#rem's ramblings #polypirates #jrwi polypirates #i'd add the other thumbnail edits i made but honestly none of them are nearly as funny or as good as this one lmao #however that may also be my inherent bias for this specific thumbnail speaking. it's just such a beautiful piece of art <3

I haven’t been the same since someone pointed out ‘Eriks’ is a corruption of ‘Alex’

#trigun #trigun spoilers #a dozen sporks speaks #alex was (maybe) rem's lover #I don't think it was ever made clear? #I think it's strongly implied tho #anyway something about Vash taking on the take of rem's precious person #but skewed #because he doesn't deserve to think of himself as someone precious to her too? #because he's failed her? #desperately hanging on to her but afraid to really face her? #honoring alex's memory for rem's sake but feeling unworthy? #an inability to truly cut ties with his past even as he's living a new life? #I just woke up from a nap I'm incoherent rn

[r3m5l33p]

I just want to feel without people feeling like they need to do something about it. It makes it feel like I can’t breathe. Can’t I just be depressed, angry, frustrated, and in pain in fucking peace? I want to be able to feel things without it being too much for other people. I want to fucking scream.

I'm just happy with the artwork, especially his damage art. Kita Senri delivers with no exceptions.

sometimes I'll think abt rem from death note too hard and make myself sad

#she literally was just in love and it finally gave her eternal existence some meaning after millenia of despair and nothingness #she watched her one friend give his life to change fate and save this sweet bubbly human girl from a horrible violent death #and she decides to honor her friend by bringing his death note to the girl he loved so much #and she sticks around with her because she's curious and she ends up falling in love with misa too #developing this fierce protectiveness and loyalty to this girl that her one friend destroyed himself to save #but because of their interference with her life misa becomes this impossibly powerful and selfish force of mass death and destruction #she's immature and unwell and completely fanatic over someone who is the complete antithesis of what rem loves about humans #about her #and through it all in spite of how deadly and downright cruel misa becomes rem is utterly devoted to protecting her #keep the girl alive. gelus did not die in vain. he did not love her in vain. i do not love her in vain #it speaks #death note

Rem Saverem, Mom Jeans, and the Ticket to the Future

aka gushing about Rem, clothing, and settings.

I was reading through some of @chuthulhu-watches analysis on Rem and it got me thinking about one of my own favorite Rem scenes and quotes and how it feels very different from the manga to the anime adaptations (granted I'm still four episodes from being done with '98 so there's a slim chance they'll include it? But I doubt it.

One of Rem's most famous lines and philosophies that she gives to her boys, specifically one we see Vash mention a few times in his journey is the concept of the ticket to the future. This is used as a way to accept previous events and progress forward despite mistakes or pain. I believe Vash uses this philosophy to help others understand how he can still have faith in people who have done bad things - as he sees it the tracks that someone has walked are always behind them, and do not dictate the future.

In both anime adaptations they show Rem telling the twins this analogy, in '98 I believe just as they're hanging out, and in Stampede she mentions it to them before she lets them leave in the escape pod (again if my memory is correct). However, I feel both of these negate the very touching and to me impactful way that the manga tells this story.

One thing that is very relevant in the manga but is not present in either adaptations is the slow realization of the world, and the comfort of the Ship Five. The world of Nomansland is strange to the viewer - just left of comfortable. We understand it as a facsimile of the wild west, but people wear clothes that don't quite fit any time period, and the technology is all over the place. When we realize that this is actually an alien planet, it makes sense to the viewer as their strange feelings are proven to have been valid. People wear strange layers and a million belts.

(this is all relevant I prommy)

And then in one of the first few chapters we see Vash and Rem together for the first time.

This is the first person I can recall seeing wearing something so simple. A t-shirt and jeans. And in this scene Vash is wearing a similar simple outfit. It instantly makes Rem stand out as if apart from the world, simplier and to the audience familiar. I could never imagine red coated Vash walking down the street, but something about this woman feels like she is real in a way. And here we see her mention her ticket to the future. (I could gush about this scene but I'll push on).

Anyways, I think that in Trigun clothing and setting and how the viewer relates to them is very important. We only see Vash in casual clothing when he is somewhere that he feels comfortable, when he is somewhere he considers home. One instance is when he is masquerading as Eriks, and one is when he is at Ship Five - the only two places he really seems to consider as his home at any points during the manga.

I really dislike the anime's decision to make the members of Ship Five have strange, futurist clothing. This makes the occupants of Ship Five feel strange and foreign to the viewer, separate from not only the world but from ourselves. I felt like Vash's time spend in this area is notable in the story and stands out because he is dressed so normally around others who are also dressed so casual. It tells you just how comfortable he is here, and again as a viewer it makes these people and Vash in this instance relatable and in many ways real. He stops being Vash the Stampede and we are able to see him as a person.

Okay okay - as promised let me talk about the Ticket to the Future. (several of these photos are taken from @lonelysnowymemes' edit of this scene - please go check it out if you haven't watched it!)

This scene is a shock to the system. We don't know how long ago humans left earth, or how old Rem was when she left, and for the most part as the reader you have become accustomed to the setting. So at least when I was reading this, to suddenly see Rem on a train felt so... mundane. She isn't wearing special space clothes, she isn't even in her t-shirt and jeans from her time on the ship. She is wearing what perhaps I might wear if I was going somewhere special. This scene is so important because we know so little about Rem, and when we do hear about her especially in the anime adaptations she seems to be almost like a Virgin Mary figure, somewhere high up next to god, untouchable. And this mundane scene shakes that picture of her.

It is a slow and quiet scene in a hectic manga. And then, the scene comes to an end.

Rem wakes up in a room, alone. I always assumed this was on earth, before she became a higher ranking member of the SEEDS project. And you realize that Rem had this dream, this revelation, in the midst of a deep depression. While this analogy is applied often to the inherent goodness that people can accomplish in the future, here the ticket is a way to push forward. I get the sense that this was the start of a long journey. A little dream did not magically fix her world, or her pain. She still wakes up in a messy room, in the dark, and alone. But you can almost still feel the lingering lightness that she felt in the dream. Again I want to push the setting of this scene. A messy bedroom that could feel familiar to the viewer - as someone with bad priorities and depression, this is a familiar sight to me.

And finally, just to top it off. Why does this line convince Vash that people, despite their actions yesterday, can go on to be good tomorrow?

Because that is what Rem tells him. Vash struggles after hurting Rem, and this discussion of both the depression he feels from seeing Tessla and the guilt of hurting Rem as a darkness that he finds himself swallowed by, she uses the same analogy that pushed her out of her own depression to tell him to continue forward. Vash tells himself this, takes to heart this analogy of the ticket, not to ignore the bad things that he has done but to rather help himself to continue onwards.

Sorry if this is super scatterbrained I've just been thinking about these things a lot the past week or so.

anyways have you ever noticed that Rems' name is Rem Save Rem

stretching to interpret nonfan as an aiyuu song like

#n o ok you see meoto takes place in the sengoku era (hundreds of years ago) #nonfan’s beginning line is something like ‘we’ve been in love for 10s and 100s of years’ #a n d they say ‘i’ve been searching for you even before we met’ #(in the chorus or sth i can’t rem i don’t particularly like nonfan) #so. if the theory that meoto *is* about lxl’s past lives is actually right… #lxl have been in love for 10s and 100s of years (chronologically speaking) #and they’ve been searching for each other before they even met (bc they were lovers in their past lives) #and they get married in nonfan (just like how they were married off to each other in meoto) #d o yo u see my vision gu y s— [is dragged away by the ankles] #idek w H Y IM EVEN SO OBSESSED WITH MEOTO IT ISN’T EVEN OUT YET #ok that’s it if i get my lxl cd a day early i’ll tl meoto first thing (tempting fate) #i just. want to see them in l o v e ok (chu!) im sorry for being delusionalllllllll
