Chainsaw Man Chapter 137: Chu Chu Lovely Muni Muni Mura Mura
Tumblr media
Oh what, you thought we were going to be thought provoking and actually dive into Denji's struggle as a character through a normal lens? Ha-ha, you fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders, the most famous of which is “Never get involved in a land war in Asia,” but only slightly less well known is this: "Never expect Fujimoto to be normal".
The whole chapter is expectation subversion, which perfectly captures both Fujimoto's sense of humor, and his absolute desire for b-list and camp. I mean, just look at how we open, Denji giving a surprisingly long winded (for him) monologue about maturing past the point of taking whatever kind of affection he can.... before it's revealed that it's all in his head and he's sucking on a dead devil.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In all honesty though, this is rather unironically an important moment for Denji. Why? Because he knows better. He himself understands the situation that he's in, that he should be better than what he's doing, that he shouldn't be caving to the whims and mockery of a girl offering an empty promise. But he can't stop himself. He's so far below rock bottom in this moment that it doesn't matter if it's a lie, it doesn't matter if she's hazing him. What matters is that she's giving him attention, and a chance to delude himself from his current station in life.
Anyways, the pair go to a karaoke place and the girl gets going on a song, leading to probably one of Fujimoto's best action sequences in all of part 2 now.
And no, it's not the action itself that makes this an incredible moment, it's quite literally everything else. Denji fell for the trap, he took it hook, line, and sinker and is now stuck fighting off a small army of men with baseball bats while the girl sings an absolute rager in the background. The entire setup is just incredible, the sheer thrill that both viewers and Denji alike feel from the moment is impeccable, and it ends the chapter on just the right note.
Tumblr media
I mean, look at this, the pile of bodies littering the hallway, the three panel shot of Denji's face, the matchup to end the chapter. Absolutely masterclass Fujimoto work on display.
I'd really like to take a closer look at Denji's reaction (and all the guys with bats too). These three panels give sort of a double meaning to Denji's character, in my opinion. The first, is self-deprecating humor at the fact that he ever thought he might stand a fraction of a snowball's chance in hell for the trap to not be a trap. And the second, well the second is Denji finding that Chainsaw Man spark again. Pure unadulterated violence, the feeling of superiority, of a challenge or uphill fight laid against him. Denji's in his element now, and that's dangerous for our girl here.
Anyways, the guys with bats. Very funny idea considering the girl "gets around", so seeing a lineup of guys appear with bats while Denji and this girl are on a "date" is a pretty good type of humor.
Tumblr media
Overall, for how insane this chapter is, it's exactly what Denji needed. He needed to be beat down, he needed to feel that desperation, he needed to remember who he is. That even if he goes to school now, even if he has a little sister and a house and food and all sorts of stuff, that the part of him that became Chainsaw Man is still a part of Denji. That they're two sides of the same coin. That he's still strong and capable and dangerous, and that he can keep chasing all the dreams he could ever want.

Hii I wanted to know , did helaena and aemond died on the same day ? I saw many antis on Twitter claiming they don't and helaena die few days later after aemond died. Now antis saying the Rise of dragons books has timeline and they dont die the same day
saying RoTD says aemond and helaena died on different days.They even contacted the mod to edited the wiki page.
You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders - the most famous of which is "never get involved in a land war in Asia" - but only slightly less well-known is this: You believed George RR Martin's canon is rock-solid!
In all seriousness.
I've been apart of the ASoIaF fandom for going on thirteen years - before the show. I picked up the books the moment I heard that Lena Headey got cast in some pilot for a new fantasy show project called "Game of Thrones" - being a huge "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" fan I had to check it out.
In all twelve and a half years ... never once has GRRM ever settled on one thing or the other. He has constantly retconned and changed canon to fit whatever gaff or inconsistency he put in the later books. The history of "The Dance of the Dragons" has changed so many fucking times in the last ten years that it'll make your head spin. Rhaenyra went from being an well established tyrant and villain in the ASoIaF Historical canon - written into the fucking books for Twenty Years! - to being a grey character, to now being the protagonist of the story.
Alicent was introduced as a ghost that allegedly haunts the Queen's chambers in Cersei's POV chapters, described by Cersei as a former queen who loved her Kingsguard and leapt off the balcony when he died - Cersei thinks that she could relate. This is followed earlier by Jaime's POV talking about Criston Cole who was loyal to his queen to the very end - a man he admires. You're supposed to but two and two together.
Now, some Black-Stan or Reply Guy will come into this post and go "Na-ugh, asshole! That's not in the books!"
Yeah, not anymore, mother fucker! It was taken out of the book in later printings once GRRM got the development deals with HBO to do "House of the Dragon" and started writing "Fire & Blood" as a pitch bible for his tv show ideas.
Do you know how many times "The Disaster of Summerhall" has been rewritten and changed by GRRM? Do you know that in the original book it is said that Rhaegar was the sole survivor of the fire, saved by Jenny of Oldstones - and that he saw something that night that made him realize the coming of the "Long Night"? Now, GRRM changed it so that Rhaegar was born during the disaster. Once more the new printings of the book changed the text to fit with what was written in "The World of Ice and Fire".
Even the "Fire & Blood" on the shelves right now is not the same book that got released five or six years ago. Whole section are rewritten to gel with "House of the Dragon".
All I can say is welcome to the fold, Nonny. Get used to smug jerk-offs coming into your DMs and Asks claiming that canon which has been established for nearly a decade is now not canon and that you're spreading "Misinformation" or "Fanfiction" when its simply that Evil Santa Clause changed his mind again and they got the new update before you.

Defeat: "Inconceivable!" { Dies. }
Assist: "Your brawns. My brains. Together, we'll become unstoppable."

Finishing Move: { Roth chants and clasped his hands. The prayer grows louder and louder, as Roth twitches and stares ahead. Fire appeared! First on Don's right sleeve then on the other. The fire consumed him like a raging inferno. Don flails about as Roth chants and chants. Then, it was finished. }
{ Don's body was burnt to a crispy. Roth inspecting the corpse, while nursing another nosebleed. A smile appeared across his face. A thought came to mind. }
"Well . . . Don."

I love how much about Homestuck my sister knows despite having NEVER READ IT
Just purely by the power of ME being a HUGE FUCKING NERD
Like I was talking about a character arc for @the-grub-hub and describing the different characters and their classpects and how they interact
And at one point she goes “How could she POSSIBLY think that her Heart powers could apply to a VOID player???”
I was happy

Full Frontal Nudity
He blindly gripped at the firm flesh beneath the tight fabric. As his fingers dug in, the pressure around his ears grew stronger, ankles knocking against his back. Soft, lithe fingers tugged at his hair, pulling his entire being well forward.
His scent, a delicate combination of sweet and musky, filled his senses. It was intoxicating; with each inhale, his body grew hotter, his mind foggier, his hunger stronger. He had long abandoned common sense and reason, he only had an insatiable hunger, an instinctual desire.
With strong hands, Skipper followed the curves of full, luscious hips, soft and supple, burning their form into his mind. As he moved his tongue around, swirling about his warm, moist maw, he could hear the young man's muffled moans through the toned thighs around his ears.
He awoke in a daze, chin resting in a pool of spittle on the table. Kowalski was droning on about his recent discovery of possible alternate universes, Rico slumbering away. Drowsily, Skipper brushed away the bits in his eyes.
Just as he was about to speak, he felt hands dance around his inner thigh. As he inconspicuously peeked beneath the table, he spied the mischievous glint of Private's eyes looking up at him.
With a slight, naughty smile, the young man placed a finger to his lips before nuzzling his soft cheek against Skipper's thigh. His tongue tantalizingly brushed upon lips. Slowly he inched forward, nipping at the brass zipper of Skipper's fly. As his zipper was undone, he could feel Private's warm breath.
Nervously, Skipper glanced up at Kowalski, who was obliviously chattering on about science. Turning his attention back to Private, he ran his fingers through the young man's dark hair, wrapping his hands around the back of his head.
Without so much as a hint of hesitation, he pulled the young man's head in. He could feel his lips parting fabric, his hot, moist breath, the presence of his tongue coming ever closer to his skin.
"S-So..So what do you think?" Rico excitedly inquired of Skipper, who was holding the manuscript of his latest fanfiction.
He spent the next few days in the Idiot Corner, accompanied by a few other writers who were regularly sent there. Savio had his own Idiot Corner, since he had a tendency to eat anyone who accompanied him, including one unfortunate fanfic writer.
What motivates these fools to writing such things? For quite a few, it was out of a desire to see certain stories unfold in certain ways. To others, it was to show admiration in a way they believe suitable, as they possess creative minds as well. But some simply liked to sow chaos, creating to see the reaction of others. The regulars of the Idiot Corner were certainly of the latter.
Based on the Human PoM AU of @drawbauchery

How my night is going so far
*me and friends all at another friend’s family bbq*
*one friend spots a huge spider, and starts a bandwagon of freaking out*
*me, one other friend and a random dad all studying it*
Dad dude: oh, don’t worry, that spider is friendly, she comes down to say hi every night
Me: wow, what’s her name?
Dad dude turning to me, as if we’d just brought a dog home from the shelter: we don’t actually have one, what would you like to name her?
Me, without blinking or hesitating: shelob
Drunk friend next to me, stirring his drink: who the fuck is shelob?
Me: it’s a spider from the Silmarillion
Dad dude: oh, what’s the Silmar-
Me: I’m glad you asked
