1/2 Imagine a scenario where Obi-Wan & anakin are on a diplomatic mission; Obi-wan is being his usual flirty & charming self except its having ZERO effect on their hosts. Then Obi-Wan realizes it’s being the hosts are barely paying any attention to Obiwan, instead they’re fawning over Obi-wan’s sullen, pouting Padawan who’s doing the barest minimum to be cordial. (Anakin’s annoyed because “Another kriffing diplomatic mission, Master?? Really?”) Just as Obi-Wan is about reprimand his padawan for
I do love a grumpy Anakin, I think it's adorable especially when we pair it with charming and polite Obi-Wan, and adding to that people being more into Anakin than Obi-Wan is such a good idea! I can imagine Obi-Wan being mildly offended at first (the man has his pride) because people are trying so HARD to include Anakin in the discussion instead of Obi-Wan, saying things like,
"yes, sure, peace would be great Master Kenobi 🙄 but what about you 🥰 Anakin 🥰 what do you want the most?" and Anakin grinds his teeth and stabs the chicken in his plate before mumbling "for this to be over" while Obi-Wan mentally facepalms.
Also anon, imagine that the only time when Anakin genuinely smiled and laughed, making the whole room feels like the sun came out after a rainy day, is when Obi-Wan whispered a silly joke in his ear and all the dignitaries around are now like "oh......... he likes him 💀 Kenobi is really the most annoying Jedi we've ever seen"

Shigeo Saves The Cat
A Dive Into What The Cat Symbolises
During the Mogami Arc, Mogami had created a world in which Shigeo had no powers, and was hated by all the people he loved. In this cruel world, Shigeo was presented with a cat, and this cat died because he was unable to protect it.
During the car crash, Shigeo used his powers in public, to save the cat. He has, at this point, come to accept that his powers can be used for good, and that they're not just to be used in dire situations. He used them to help the others call a ufo, after all! That's pretty chill! For... you know, having super cool powers that you can do just about anything with.
Although he hasn't begun to use them for his own sake, he saw the danger coming, and was able to save the cat. [And, to a different extent, using his physical powers, saved the kid. But this isn't about the kid or the fact he used both sides of himself to save 2 different entities, haha]
Then he gets hit, and ??? takes the stage. He still rejects his powers as part of his personhood; (a conscious being made from his own repressed self) he can accept them as if they're a certain muscle in the body, or an extra limb, but only now is he able to see that this is a mental thing, not physical.
During the final arc, in large part thanks to Reigen (of course, also thanks to Hanazawa, Ritsu, and Dimple, but the point is Reigen's words are the ones to calm him down) this repressed self is accepted not as part of his body, the way the body is a case for the mind, but as part of himself. A part of his mind. Which he very much had been sealing up and repressing.
Then, in the after-part, Shigeo sees a cat, and assumes it's stuck. He acts, moving forward to climb the pole. He doesn't think anything like "it might be easier with psychic powers, but I should use the body I've been working on" or "I would rather use my physical body than my powers to save this cat" he simply moves. Not a single complicated thought goes through his mind. He acts. His powers are part of him; his body, his person, his ESP - all of it is him, and he simply did the most natural thing that came to mind. He climbed the pole using muscles he'd worked on, but not as opposed to his powers - just because it was the first response he came up with. [And as a muscle obsessed boy, it's unsurprising haha!]
But he does not save the cat.
Because the cat, regardless of him and his story, is just that. It's a cat. It's got nothing to do with him; it's neutral. It's an entity with its own path, it doesn't need him in order to survive. It's not on him to save or to protect it, not on him to do anything at all about it. It's on him just to want to act, to want to care. He's changed from a boy who was afraid to act at all, to one who acts without reservation.
And saving the cat was never his goal in the first place.
Tldr:
Mogami presented a cat that he needed to save, but that he was unable to save.
The car-crash presented a cat that needed saving, and that he was able to save.
And the finale presented a cat that, at the end of the day, has nothing to do with what he must do to live life to the fullest. He's just a teenage boy who has a girl he likes, and who goes to school like everyone else. His powers are just a part of him, nothing he has to pay the universe back for. There's no big magical destiny, no cats to save.
He can finally simply exist.
...
For now!! Dun dun dun...
I'm kidding.
Or am I?!

God the difference between the dates of Majima -Yuki and Kiryu-Koyuki is so fucking jarring.
Like in Y0 you have Majima being almost like a parental figure to Yuki (despite only being a year older than her) and patiently teaching her the tricks of the trade, making fun of her (leading to their hilarious banters) but never in a hurtful way, being very professional when it comes to their dates (see how most of them take place in the club itself, only occasionally stepping out). We even have a whole substory where Majima is super-protective of her like she was his own daughter. It's such a wholesome relationship that he shares with not just Yuki, but all the rest of his girls.
But then you have Kiryu in YK2 who...doesn't REMOTELY feel like Kiryu in the date sequences. Like during the dinners with Koyuki, Kiryu just feels like a creepy old man hitting on a 20 year old college girl (also calling her cute because she's "inexperienced" like bitch do I have to remind you just how many people you've ACTUALLY dated?). They are trying so hard to write Kiryu off as a cOmPLeTeLy hETeRoSeXuAL guy in this game that he just comes off exactly as the number of old horny creeps we've beaten down in the last two games. Ugh.

💝 ☕ 🤡 for whoever you'd like to talk about!!
YES FINALLY it is vaughn time!!!
💝 - What gestures do they really appreciate? How do you get on their good side? vaughn is a hopeless romantic. i cannot express this enough that he will literally fall in love with anyone that gives him any sliver of attention. he loves being pampered, being doted on, being praised, and even if it's only perceived attraction, that's enough for him to fall, and fall hard.
☕ - Coffee or tea? neither. he chugs monster energy drinks like it's nobody's business. specifically the pink cans.
🤡 - What’s something dumb they’re embarrassed about? he cries to annie about his mommy issues at least once a week, and then he feels really awkward and weird about it the next day and tries to pretend like he hasn't just hashed out all his life's woes to his best friend the night prior. totally conflicts with his carefree attitude, you know? he's always embarrassed about it nevertheless.
