The thing about the final lore tab is that, besides the fact that I'm devastated in ways I can't put into words, the way Saint was affected by this whole thing is unique.
This is obviously primarily Osiris' trauma that we can't really properly comprehend, but Osiris wasn't fully conscious for most of it. It fell to Saint to wait, and hope, that Osiris would be brought back and that he would wake up. There was no certainty for him there. And even before that, he watched "Osiris" being strange and distant and acting weird but obviously nobody could even begin to speculate that the person he interacted with wasn't Osiris at all, so the trauma went from there, from learning that he lost Sagira, then to the shock of Osiris being kidnapped and then the quest to bring him back and then him being brought back in a coma and then the 9 long months of waiting until he woke up.
The state of constant anxiety he experienced for almost 2 years total is nervewracking and gutwrenching. I don't think we can fully understand the impact of that on someone. And the best, or worst, thing is that Saint is infinitely patient. He is infinitely emotional and merciful and opts to be the better person and to wait and wait and wait. And hope that it can be fixed.
Except it can't. It can't be fixed. And not only can it not be fixed, but there will never be justice for it. It's impossible. There isn't a way to truly punish Savathun for what she's done. There is no relief or catharsis for Saint. While Osiris can mostly move on, Osiris did not really have to go through what Saint had to go through. Their traumas are different and Saint's is the type that no one can really understand and there is nothing he can do about it.
A younger Saint would've killed Immaru and then Savathun, 100%. But now he can't, because he isn't that person anymore. And yet, the grief and trauma remain and he has no outlet for them and nothing that can be done to enact any sort of justice. So he settles for pure rage, letting himself essentially vent that anger out, but still leave everyone alive. And there's really no true release here. He got a brief satisfaction of killing Savathun over and over, but at the end of the day, she will walk away and nothing will change and there will be no fix.
Which is why he comes back and just cries. As he said, this wasn't for Osiris, it was for him. It was his outlet for anger and nothing else. After that, there's nothing else left to do but cry. No one can really help him carry the burden of what he's gone through and besides: he's a Titan. He's the one carrying other people's burdens. Which just added to the trauma because for so long he's only cared for others, mostly for Osiris, and never really let himself fully grieve or talk about it. Saint never really processed the horrifying ordeal of constant concern for his loved one, then the realisation that his loved one isn't even with him, then the desperate search and then waiting for months and months for the hope that his loved one might wake up. Then Osiris is awake and we're forced to play allies with the person who traumatised both of them in an incomprehensibly terrifying way. Saint had no other way of attempting to make his peace with the situation.
Year of processing grief. I'm in shambles.

maybe I’m just a hater (spoiler: I am) but it’s something so funny and satisfying seeing series like JJK and CSM lose all of its steam so early in. Not so much because I want to see them fail or even dislike them but because the fan bases of both shows are EXTREMELY toxic, pretentious and have gone out of their way to shit on other series that they deem lesser and are now being humbled 😭 like you talked all that shit on Demon Slayer, MHA, AOT, etc and now people are dropping it. I hate using the term ‘fell off’ but that’s exactly what’s about to happen and eye do not feel bad.

i started reading natsume yuujinchou from the first chapter again, and... omg early natori is SCARY. his eyes just so... empty, dude... even worse than natsume
and some of his words just... not good at making him look appealing lol he's so forceful at times over what he think is better for natsume, and to see natsume be like "okay i thought you're a pretty nice guy but don't you dare tell me shit about what's right or wrong!" is just so... admirable. like hell yeah dude, fight that guy just because he's an adult doesn't mean he knows better 😤😤
like usually in other manga with this situation, the adults are actually pretty spot on, but i love how midorikawa yuki didn't do that, and let natori be wrong without him being a bad person, and she let natsume shows how mature his decision making is without the narrative siding 100% to his whims
also i wanna add that i find it interesting that natori is the subversion of the "handsome guy with flowers in the background whenever he appears" trope, like that's so peak shojo of him, but for midorikawa yuki to take that and turns it into "this whole thing is a facade for natori to hide who he truly is" is just... interesting. even better that she really kept at the whole "natori is always in conflict with natsume even though he think he's doing something in natsume's best interest" pretty long in the story, because it means she didn't let us forgive natori so easily, but rather let him earn our... love for who he truly is as a person rather than his facade of the "older, wiser man"

Ok, based on what we've seen of Lloyd's visions in Season 1 plus the first Season 2 teaser with chunks of it from, it's likely that the majority of the flashing scenes in the actual trailer are not part of his vision.
The stuff with the Blood Moon of course is, as are the flash with Sora getting electrocuted and the flash with Sensei Wu and Ras, as they both have completely black background. But the rest of the scene flashes are probably just from random other points in the season and are not actually a part of his visions.
Especially because especially how short the two black background flashes are in the trailer and their content, they're definitely going to be lengthened in the episode(s) they're actually in as part of Lloyd's vision.
(And even in Season 1 where he saw the graveyard, which may be from who knows when, it was not a whole scene or flash playing out about what would happen like how Zane's visions get, it was more of an ominous warning hinting towards that possibly happening)
