#f: shogun#[sobs] THROUGH THE POWER OF TOXIC YURI WE GENUINELY COULD'VE HAD IT ALL.#also this is maybe maybe not the right place for this commentary but like. when mariko went all in on crimson sky#and IMMEDIATELY her costuming jumped up to the same level of baroque lusciousness as ochiba's with emphasis on red-on-black!!#no more of that subtle blue-gray-silver palette she's been wearing the whole season! the ice has MELTED bitch!!!#she's wearing black for subterfuge and she's wearing red for passion and she's wearing gold because she's got a pedigree#just as storied as any of the other samurai and nobility in this show!!!!#and yeah sure we can give the watsonian read of ''oh she's wearing her nicest stuff because she's rubbing elbows and she has to look good''#but like. the visual storytelling of it girl. the visual storytelling.#anyway. here she is. performing for ochiba just like she used to do when they were girls.#and she's doing this for the benefit of all and sundry to make her point and make ishido look as dumb as possible#BUT. in a very real way. she's doing this for ochiba.#because she knows where the power lies. she knows who's driving the clown car. she KNOWS who needs to understand the stakes.#and she knows her life is sufficient stakes for ochiba.#ROMANCE. ROMANCE ROMANCE ROMANCE ROMANCE ROMANCE#DO NOT ASK ME HOW THIS EPISODE ENDED OR WHAT HAPPENED IN THE FOLLOWING EPISODE.

update: they did not let lady ochiba be a horrid evil murderess cunt.
like 99% of the time i WILL be like "actually as a woc participating in fandom the LET WOMEN BE HORRID EVIL MURDERESS CUNTS conversation does nothing for me, because in general that conversation revolves around taking female characters of color who have been portrayed as nothing but good-to-heroic in canon and applying totally revisionist readings to their characterizations that play on stereotypical views of women of color as sexual aggressors/morally suspect/uniquely untrustworthy and uphold fandom's priors regarding the victimization and overwhelming narrative value of white men" because that is almost without exception the behavior i see in fandom
the other 1% of the time fumi nikaido is being so so compellingly evil on my teavee screen so never mind all that i guess. let lady ochiba be a horrid evil murderess cunt.
#chatter#dear reader i had been feeding myself such potent and convincing lies throughout my viewing of this television programme#that by episode ten i was genuinely astonished and more than a little disappointed to discover that shogun fx is a show about men.#congratsyouplayedyourself.jpg#like on the one hand yes. the power of toxic yuri can do anything including win your team a whole additional army#in the (fictionalized) battle of sekigahara and obtain for your team captain the shadow backing of the heir by way of his very evil mother#but like. i would've appreciated a nod to ''well we definitely cannot trust her going forward. but for now i will accept her aid because#ummm. otherwise we are all gonna die. and we'll deal with that fallout in another book''#and ochiba being like ''i am doing this in memory of my ex girlfriend but the second your back is turned LASERS''#but like. i guess they had to make sure toranaga's villain monologue had enough screen time. so ok#i think the real takeaway of this show is that shows should have the correct number of episodes to convey their narrative's#emotional depth of field. and sometimes that number is not 8–10. and we should try to be okay with that#because TRULY. WHEN I THINK OF THE B-PLOTS THAT OCHIBA COULD HAVE HAD.......#WHEN I THINK OF WHAT A FAN FAVORITE LADY KIRI COULD HAVE BECOME GIVEN SCREENTIME......#anyway [through gritted teeth] i enjoyed fx shogun a show about women very much

Shogun (Ep 10)
Ochiba is like : "You did not just disrespect MY Mariko!"
#f: shogun#ishido was like ''i'm the boss >:(''#and ochiba was like SHOOTING YOU WITH LASERS SHOOTING YOU WITH LASERS OUT OF MY EYES SHOOTING LASERS OUT OF MY EYES AT YOU#LASERS OUT OF MY EYES LASERS OUT OF MY EYES SHOOTING YOU WITH LASERS SHOOTING YOU SHOOTING YOU AND KILLING YOU#AND KILLING YOU AND HARMING YOU AND SHOOTING YOU AND LASERS LASERS LASERS LASERS LASERS LASERS LASERS LASERS#and ishido was like ''.......................yes dear.''#moral of the story is do NOT mess with toxic yuri!!

the earth didn’t have to give us meadows of poppies, but she did!!
#somewhere that's green#gently to the sea#if heaven is real i hope it looks like superbloom as far as the eye can see. and every time you look at your feet#you see a flower you've never ever seen before.

It was written by my friend.
SHŌGUN (2024)
Chapter Ten: A Dream of a Dream
#f: shogun#i myself am not immune to the way that a japanese poem will often simply just stop in the middle of a thought#have seen an intriguing alternate translation for this poem courtesy of writer and blogger makiko itoh on facebook#(yes i still use facebook)#''the wind still blows / and the flower becomes a flower''#which i think puts a different emotional subtext on these lines. but i cannot comment on it beyond eyes emoji#because i do not indeed speak japanese.#but i think the show subtitles gives it more of a hopeful spin while the alternate translation has more of a sense of. well.#not to be like IT'S MONO NO AWARE but it is in fact mono no aware. the flower is embracing its flower-ness in the face of#the uncaring elements and such. all things end. everything in this world is given its little span. the wheel of history turns and turns#but you had that flower for a little while. that was real.#anyway um do you ever think that um. lesbioan

new favorite bit is saying "I would be fangirling so hard if I met him in real life 😍" about random species of fish
#recently got proper into ca native flora and this is me with calochortus and fritillaria spp.#catch me all giggling and twirling my hair and kicking my feet when i see an endemic mariposa lily in the field#(kicking my feet gently so as not to damage the sensitive and endangered flora)#and even triteleia! you may be a relatively abundant genus throughout the western states but to ME you are celebrities.#triteleia laxa the woman that you are....................

#f: mansand#SOBS and PUKES and BARFS and SCREAMS and HOWLS. LIKE. A. KICKED. DOG.#and not to skip right over the exchange that has been making me insane since fucking 2022 but can we talk about 4th gif down on the right#the TENDERNESS of that fucking expression. the wonder and awe and shock backing off to show the core of her feelings.#easy fond familiar smile soft eyes warm solicitousness. the ''here; lean on me'' that she's never told him out loud#but that has always been lurking behind her every word and her every action.#the ''i'll take care of you.'' ''it's rotten work.'' ''not to me; not if it's you'' of it all!!!!!!#it could never be rotten work to her. she waited for a hundred years while her home crumbled to ashes around her.#the work of rebuilding is joyful work is welcome work is BLESSED work. because the missing piece is back in its place. he's home.#I'M SO NORMAL.
