I wish I could share entire scenes with you all on here, because a single quote can't capture what I've just watched. I will say though: Dorothy's little wiggle when she's proud of herself and having fun is delightful.

#is that where crowley got his wiggles? or did he subconsciously inspire dorothy because he liked the show?#anyway i love her sm!! im so glad shes getting to have a good time after that stan thing #writers you are forgiven #the entire scene though... sophia destroying blanche... them pairing up against dorothy... rose's excitement for the dog show...#masterful comedic timing i loved it so so so much #i know it's not surprising at this point but still #what a gem of a show #the golden girls

Love for Love's Sake | Things You Didn't Notice #8

Okay, this will probably be my last "hey, look at the cool thing this series did/said!" post but I can't leave you guys without adding a nice tasty cherry on top.

This show!! This freaking show! Gave us the fake second credits in the scene where Myungha and Yeowoon have reunited and the mission has finally changed. The credits that you see here are literally the in-universe credits for the Game they were playing. The names say "Cha Yeowoon, Tae Myungha... etc... Coach, Teacher... (everyone else)... Student 1, Student 2... and... Sunbae." =)))

No actors names. The real credits of production team are shown on the black screen in the very end, just like in every episode. But this here? It's end of the Game, they have reached Happy Ending. And the credits are probably something both Myungha and Yeowoon see as well.

And if you didn't have enormous amount of feelings already, let me tell you (I don't know whether it was subbed in second version of subs but it wasn't subbed in Gaga) that the last line of dialogue, last thing we hear anyone say anything in this show – is Myungha hugging Yeowoon and whispering "Cha Yeowoon, I love you".

Which is so heartwarming for one (Myungha has only said it once and Yeowoon didn't hear it and now he definitely did) or another reason (meta-subtext about Myungha finally confidently loving himself as well).

This show was amazing. So amazing I'll probably spend some time watching livestreams (and maybe I'll translate stuff if others didn't do it already) and checking their YT channel for more content, because I surely hope the authors and the team gets enough recognition that they film another brilliant BL series.

Please, go to love4lovesake yt channel and send them lots of love or post some love on Twitter (and on the Instagram, but I don't know the links, sorry). Like WE NEED MORE DEEP STORIES LIKE THIS

#love for love's sake comments #love for love's sake meta #love for love's sake #i am so sad to say goodbye to this show #what else should i watch to become as obsessed with it #but at least i find a gem series once in 6 months it's already incredible and enough to keep me going #korean bl #kbl #korean drama #kdrama #dropthemeta

I feel like if you think about it, Pearl could've rebelled from the rebellion itself. She could have said "I'm a free Gem now, I bow to no one! I'm leaving to explore the world/galaxy, goodbye!"

(and that would have given Pink/Rose seventeen more layers of trauma, but we're not going to get into that right now-)

But she didn't. She chose to remain by the side of her Diamond.

And I just gotta wonder, at one point did she stop staying out of her role as a servant and start staying out of love? When did the path of one perspective end and the other begin? Were they ever truly separate in the first place? It's clear that Pearl was in love with Rose for like, ever, but when did she decide that she was officially choosing her own love for Rose over her programmed loyalty to her? Did she ever fully separate the two feelings?

#this show man #it's late and i'm tired #but you get what I'm saying #I hope #anyway now I want an au where Pearl leaves Rose to be a truly independent Gem and this action echoes through time forevermore #ramblings #steven universe

Fighting DEMONS rn trying not to get invested in one piece to figure out wtf you're posting about!!!!

come here cyber.... we have this thang

‎

#mp answers #i've been trying so hard not to be annoying to my bnha friends but if you will allow me to push this for this ask let me say 🙏#if you're afraid of the episode count for one piece the manga is a lot quicker read while being just as enjoyable because the art style is #an actual delight. its great its fantastic im absolutely in love with it #the series is soooo good and i know luffy can seem unappealing to people before they start but he's just SUCH a great character & continues #to be even now. the story is SO GOOD the characters are SO GOOD... theres so much lore and world building that its insane #if you read the manga we get 'cover stories' on what's going on with previous characters to see what theyre up to even though we moved on #from where we left them. a lot of these cover stories blend into the main story so well its just seamless #there's one where we get introduced to a character we dont see hundreds of episodes into the anime and they show up like; during the second #saga. the series is about traveling to other islands and every single arc has been tied to another in some way or form that shows up later #even if its sagas and sagas later- it still becomes relevant again!! it's a huge ongoing story and there isnt a single arc that feels like #it has no purpose (sans filler in the anime-but even then!! some filler arcs are really entertaining!)#it's emotional! its sad! its downright stupid and silly but GOD... you can feel the love that oda put into this series and his characters #and the emotions in the expressions and the messages the story gives off it just makes me UEUHGHHAHGHH!!!#it's all about the adventure and the romance of it all! its about the freedom it brings and bringing freedom to others!#its a series where treasure should be a focus given its pirates and the its a giant treasure hunt for the one piece and yet! and yet so man #of the characters treasures are things that are not coins and gems but people and promises and family and and #im going to EXPLODE i love one piece

I'm thinking about that first few episodes of the PJO show, compared to the general opinion of the show now. I'm thinking about the ways we saw Percy trip and fall in front of Annabeth, how Percy got distracted instantly and pet a gecko in the middle of a fight, how he almost shot another camper with a bow and arrow after telling everyone it was probably a bad idea to let him hold a bow and arrow. I'm thinking about how this kid fails so often, and we really got to see it for a moment. We *had* that for a few episodes. This total looser who's human, who messes up but still somehow saves the world. We get moments like the consensus song--it's not like the show is devoid of humor. But as the show goes on, you can sense a change. I won't say my critiques on the newer episodes because everyone knows exactly what direction the show went, the pieces of humanity that it's missing. But I will point out how everyone cheered when the 12 year old ran a taxi straight into a wall. Because that's what they remember. They laughed when they were kids reading a chapter list with things like "We take a zebra to Vegas"

I don't know what the point of this post is, it doesn't say anything that the entire fandom hasn't been saying. I'm not even trying to reach a decision on whether or not I like these changes. But Rick Riordan *had* that feeling in the show. It's just that as it goes on, we get less and less.

#pjo #pjo series #percy jackon and the olympians #dragonling says shit #pjo tv show #im hoping as we go on we'll get more gems like the taxi scene #because hey #everyone liked that #the fandom pointed with mouths agape and said #omg so silly so goofy what a silly teen #but guys #we do need plot #plot does exist #rick is probably juggling humor and character and plot all at once #unfortunately we just don't happen to like the one he chose to leave out first

#wheucto #art #osc #object show community #steven universe #su #su steven #su connie #su greg #su lars #su sadie #NEways. rewatched SU recently. and SU:F for the first time. ever lol #and whenever i get into a media where the characters aren't objects i usually think. hm. but what if they were?#sometimes i draw them as objects. sometimes i don't #su au #<- didn't tag that for some reason #NEways. only humans are objects in this AU because. that makes the most sense for me #the gems stay the same bc they're gems. and i have no reason to believe they'd be like... hammers or whatever #so yeah steven's half gem half object here #uh for the objects that are harder to tell what they are. steven is a strawberry smoothie_ greg's like... a chocolate milkshake idk. lars -#- is an ube roll but bc he died and got resurrected he's pink. used to be purple #by harder i mean probably harder to tell who they are #i don't have much basis on the objects here. mostly vibes i guess? i thought of steven as a strawberry smoothie once and it just stuck -#- he's a strawberry smoothie now #greg is like... based off of that. i didn't have much idea for him specifically. oh wait now that i think of it he could be like... a -#- star-based sort of drink? maybe have some star decorations? idk #yknow cause. mr. UNIVERSE. though he did adopt that title on his own so maybe decorations then...#lars is an ube roll because it kinda looks like him and he made it also he's canonically of filipino descent i'm pretty sure

mumbo’s grown into such an amazing builder ♥️♥️♥️ he’s so cool ♥️♥️

he’s always been better than he thinks but he’s really grown into it now. like i remember looking back that . in season 5 his seaside town project. it wasnt. great. like we knew what it was but… it was so bland. very 2017. part of that was the biome, sure, and it was also very much a secondary project at the end of the season, but the megabase was all prismarine and quartz and clean lines. geometry. hard to detail - except for the storage system and the aquarium and he popped off with those. but he didnt get time or really.. have the skills? to grow it all to its full potential.

and then in season 6 everything was all hypermodern/futuristic clean lines again that detailing isnt really possible with. he did well with what he could detail, but everything was so smooth, it was hard.

and season 7 it was basically.. just one big build. again, he did really well with it, but it was such a monolith that it was hard to add these tiny details to it. and there was no easy way to look closely? no real places to add them. the golden heart is the exception here.

season 8 we saw the start of something incredible, with the arm chair mountain. the tiny houses on the cliffside were there to provide colour. but they were… empty. again, i get why, and i dont know how to add something to them other than to maybe up the scale and that wouldve been REALLY hard.

we didn’t see much of him in season 9, but he fell back on the geometric designs and clean lines. it looked good! i loved the colour scheme. but the most detailed part of that build was the moat. the screeching crevice. and no one really looked at that after it was all built up.

but he didnt lose the skills from s8. in fact, he improved them.

because now we’re here and he’s making concept art and detailing with shadows and odd block choices and. i honestly think. if he puts his mind to it and keeps this up. we’ll have another heavy hitting builder. this build feels alive. it feels real.

#my post #SORRY FOR BEING NOT NORMAL ABOUT MUMBO but also im NOT AT ALL SORRY #i just. ive been watching this guy since i was like 12. you dont go that long and not start. caring about the guy?#anyway #theres a whole nother post not really implied at all in here about how youtubers get put in a box and MUST stay there even if they show they #are more than capable of fitting in a completely different box #etho’s still called primarily a redstoner despite being a fantastic builder and . well once upon a time he was good at pvp #i feel like this is gonna happen and to an extent is happening with mumbo too #you say mumbo jumbo and people will go ‘oh the redstone guy’ and people will continue to say that forever?#it’s not necessarily a bad thing i just think people are more complex than that #mumbo IS a builder. mumbo IS a redstone engineer. hes both #gem managed to pull off the mutlitalented building/pvp skillset. but pvp is a different type of skill #i dont know. i dont know. someone will know what i mean #mumbo jumbo #hermitcraft

Hi everyone! :D After rereading the BSD novels I noticed a rather interesting pattern and came up with a fun idea!

How about a new impossible drinking game? Take a shot every time you notice Asagiri describing Dazai in the edgiest way possible when you're reading the light novels.

Sounds not so bad at first, however... Well, take a look yourself and have fun:

"I look at the young man. He is just staring at the ceiling. No emotions, no intents. Just a flat expression, like one who is just telling his age. I cannot believe my own eyes. I don’t even feel like there is a human there. If it was late night instead of a refreshing early morning, I would think that he was a ghost or a hallucination".

"His eyes remind me of a burnt black cat, his build reminds me of a burnt black cat, his presence reminds me of a burnt black cat. He has a tone that sinks into the abyss of the spirit, and deep, dark eyes that seem to hold the conviction that the sun will never rise again. He is a man of few words. And his voice has the sound of severance that rejects mutual understanding from the very beginning. No one could understand him. No one ever will. And he himself knows that very well. That kind of voice".

"When Dazai finally says so, his eyes look different from those of any human being. And those of any living things. Those are wounds. A pair of open wounds on his face, from which darkness is peeping out".

"Dazai’s face when he says that reminds me of the end of a culvert, or a black wall at the end of the road that leaves you no way to go".

"Dazai looks at me. Those eyes are like the bottomless see at night. Dark, cruel, quiet, endlessly sucking people in and never letting go".

"Dazai looks down at the opponent. Even people who look at the pebbles on the riverbank would show more interest than that".

"Dazai’s gaze towards Hirotsu turns dark instantly, as though representative of the gravity of his next words. If it were any ordinary person being stared at, they would be seized by nightmares for the next few days. Dazai’s eyes foretell the impending blood and violence about to come".

"I look at Dazai. There is something invisible within that can’t be seen with the naked eye, like a breeding ground for spirits that will raze everything to the ground".

"I look at Dazai intently. Although we have known each other for very long, this is the first time Dazai has spoken about himself. One can see something as sharp as a giant fishhook piercing and gnawing into Dazai’s life".

"“No.” I say. “I don’t think so. At the beginning, I thought you and Dazai were very similar, unable to see the value of your life, hoping for death, hence jumping into a world of violence and fighting. But that’s not the case. That guy is just a child who’s too smart. Just a crying child who’s been left alone in the darkness, a world of nothingness far emptier than the world we can see”".

""I know. There's a certain anxiety, anxiety about whether the previous boss's assassination was leaked". Dazai's expression was still unreadable. It was quiet as a freezing lake".

"The boy's gaze quietly penetrated Mori. Like a medical device that looked through the human body".

"The doctor and boy exchanged a silent gaze for a while. The Shinigami and the Devil seemed to glare at each other as the room filled with their spirit. In Mori's head, a word that he didn't know flickered many times and echoed like an alarm".

"The nightmarish thoughts Dazai sometimes showed through his observing eye was like an unprecedented, frozen eagle in the mafia's demonic nest".

"His expression returned to his usual Dazai thing. It was a gray expression that wasn't interested in any concept".

"I’m not a person with an excellent observation skill. But even so, just by looking at those eyes, I understand a few things right away. He probably has killed before. Not one or two digits. Hundreds of people. When you have killed that many people, you will reach the other side of the mentality that ordinary humans can possess, beyond the other shore where neither light nor gravity can reach. The spirit of those who have reached that state will be seen first in their eyes, then in their mouth. Their eyeballs become black holes, and the muscles around their mouth become organs to show the depth of their sin, not their facial expressions".

"I ask again. There is no answer. I don’t even know if he is listening. Because the light in his eyes show no reactions to my question. No matter how cold-hearted a person is, if you look at him in the eyes and throw words at him, you can still see some kind of responses. But this young man does not have any of that. Just black eyes looking at where my figure is".

"There is no heart here. Just a heart-shaped emptiness".

"He doesn’t reply. Those eyes are filled with a quiet emptiness. From that, I assume that he is listening. Because if he is deaf, there should be a reasonable amount of confusion and signs of claiming that he cannot hear".

"I say, my words echoing in the emptiness and dropping into the corner of the room, in the middle of nowhere".

"Dazai is standing in the corridor of the bunker, where it is completely dark. The distance between him and Odasaku is more than ten meters. Because of the darkness and the distance, Odasaku and the other guy cannot see Dazai. In fact, they wouldn’t even notice Dazai if he came within an arm’s reach. That is how much Dazai has melt into a dense shadow and become one with the darkness himself".

"Seeing that violence doesn’t even make his eyes move. His eyes are as still as those of a dead man, not showing the slightest flicker of emotion".

"Dazai has become one with the darkness. That is why no one is able to find Dazai".

"There is only darkness. As if no one was there from the beginning. It’s as if darkness has taken the form of Dazai, and has finally turned back to the original darkness and disappeared".

"The voice is intimidating, assertive, and filled with raw danger like a bleeding wound. It is high-pitched as that of a young boy, but it lacks the human-like characteristics a young boy should have".

"The cop can feel cold sweat squirting from his whole body. This young man is not lying. It shows in his eyes. That this young man is only seeing him as a fly in his kitchen".

"The cop’s body trembles in fear. This is the fear of pain, the fear of his imagination. But the most frightening of all is the young man in front of him, the king of the Pain land, the one who creates pains and controls pains".

"When Dazai finally opens his mouth after a long pause, that voice completely lacks emotions. No mockery, no cruelty, not even a carnivorous smile, nothing. A complete hollow".

"“You really don’t listen to others.” There is nothing left in Dazai’s voice, not even the ruthlessness. There is nothing in there. Not even a sign of someone holding a gun, nor talking to a human being".

"Suddenly, I feel like someone who got lost in the freezing cold weather at the top of a mountain, with only his underwear on. Having nothing to cover for myself, nor a way to escape. Far beyond the pale darkness, a mysterious monster is waiting to tear me into pieces".

"That voice had the dignity of a king and the mercy of the devil at the same time".

"When he saw that cold look heavier than a hundred eloquent words, Atsushi tensed his back".

"From the main office you could see the sunset of the city. In the middle of the room, Dazai was sitting alone at the desk with his arms crossed. He had a thin smile on his lips, and in his only visible eye the light darkness of the world".

"Because in the depths of his eyes lay a jet-black darkness deeper than any of the nights found at the disposal site".

"Dazai’s expression didn’t change whatsoever, and he spoke in a gritty voice devoid of any emotions".

"“It’s simple.” Dazai smiled faintly. His voice was low, as if it were the sound of a growl in a nightmare".

"Dazai smiled after he said that. It was like you could hear the sound of his broken soul with that smile".

"Dazai smiled and held out his hand to help me stand up. He saw through everything with the eyes of a sage, seeming to stare at a place that wasn’t anywhere on Earth".

And etc.

*reads all this through*

*tries to proceed the information properly*

*inhales*

GODDAMIT, ASAGIRI. WE GOT IT.

#I'm still hysterical #when I noticed a pattern I had to make a list of it all #this gets close to akutagawa's level of edginess honestly XD #and oh don't get me wrong I love both the novels and Dazai #and I understand that it was necessary to show Dazai's darkness #but like #at some point such descriptions become comedic #yeah yeah for dazai's soul is dark and full of terrors #what's next?#also btw i'm rather surprised that there wasn't much of this in the beast #but probably as a compensation we get this gem #His coat and black shoes were so fine that even kings and nobles in Europe would envy him~#LMAAAO I CAN'T-#Asagiri ffs 🥲#p.s. there were probably more quotes like these above but i haven't noticed them sorry #bsd #bsd dazai #bsd meta #bsd dark era #bsd stormbringer #bsd fifteen #bsd beast #bsd spoilers #bungo stray dogs #bungou stray dogs #ticklinglady talks
