George did not write Arya naming babies in Winterfell and taking care of a child in the middle of a WARZONE just for y'all to say she's not going to end up with kids/family because she's "not that type of character" 😒

im so considerate.... (<- guy not ranting about a thing it hates before its friend is done with the media)
#can officially say i finished the arkhamverse. didnt watch anything about that suicide squad one but i read all comics#a d watched the complete story & side mission gameplay for origins asylum city and midway through my refresher for knight#the biggest takeaway i have is wow these people are weird about convicts and addicts and love their toxic masculinity#but the gameplay and nostalgia impacts peoples opinions on it. maybe an enjoyable experience but for the story or universe itself#its a complete failure in every regard i can think of—only having glimpses moments of quality that makes the rest of it#be frustrating because the potential can be there. theres interesting premises occasionally but the execution and payoff doesn't make it#even worthwhile to get to those premises because of what you must wade through to reach them#<- thats me being my nicest and most spoiler freeabout it btw.#my other big takeaway is that tim is canonically older than jason and i think a grown ass man saying fuck that kid is really funny#[SPOILERS LOOK AWAY CJ]#<- tim currently works as a highschool science teacher while jason was shown to be adopted and made robin at 15#where he was then promptly captured and kidnapped by joker. he escaped half? a year later during asylum and AK takes place 2 years afterward#i think. the entire timeline for this shitty universe is awful and confusing. dick was robin for like 2 years its ridiculous.#and i think primarily so they can go noooo see bruce is a hot late 30 year old instead because you become dust at any older!!#but. back to the age thing. hes about 17 maybe early 18 during AK but because tim is a private school teacher he needs a bachelor's degree#and most people get it at 22/23ish and then theres the actual teacher application and being hired (or not because hes a nepo baby)#so hes early mid twenties or so. compared to a (presumably dead) teenager who he called a loser more or less.

There is not a single homely thing that, looked at from a certain angle, does not become fairy. Think of the Dapple, or the Dawl, when they roll the sunset towards the east. Think of an autumn wood, or a hawthorn in May. A hawthorn in May — there’s a miracle for you! Who would ever have dreamed that that gnarled stumpy old tree had the power to do that? Well, all these things are familiar sights, but what should we think if never having seen them we read a description of them, or saw them for the first time? A golden river! Flaming trees! Trees that suddenly break into flower! For all we know, it may be Dorimare that is Fairyland to the people across the Debatable Hill

Hey so ive been this reading this manga called "ojisama to neko" ( eng: "a man and his cat" ) and its sosososo cute so sweet 10/10 would recommend also THE MAIN MAN LOOKS. KINDA LIKE SAWASHIRO EVEN IF THEIR PERSONALITIES COULDNT BE MORE FAR APART. His name is Fuyuki Kanda and he is very dear to me just thought to share hope u have a wonderful day
NOOOO I LOVE OJISAMA TO NEKO SO MUCH !!!! I REMEMBER WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT YEARS AGO AND I REALLY WANTED PHYSICAL COPIES OF IT DESPITE IT BEING ONLY IN JAPANESE AT THE TIME AAAAAA SUCH A GOOD SERIES I LOVE FUKUMARU SO MUCH….
#snap chats#kanda and sawashiro do look. Sort Of similar ig LOL#love that his last name’s kanda tho since TTM also plays a chara named kanda#that show- ‘meishi game-‘ was the first ttm thing i watched im p sure. or at least one of them#either way forcing all of you to read ojisama to neko. also maiing all of you to remind me to get the physical volumes sometime#i forget that they have english translations now and i always remember too late or when i alreay have plans to buy another book#i kept up with the series online when it was first announced and did my best to translate everything#so i keep holding off on buying the offiical release since Ive Read It Before but i love owning physical media….#anyway ty for giving me an excuse to gush about ojisama to neko i love that series so much and its so cute and its my world and everything#tho on the note of comparing sawashiro and kanda.. im reminded of this manga i was disappointed by#i forget the exact title but the premise was a yakuza taking in a stray cat- from the cats POV#and the summary already sounded perfect and right up my alley but then i read the book#and STORY WISE it was what i was looking for but… the yakuza looked like a punk#esp since he was described as being notorious i was expecting an older man No I Dont Have A Thing For Old Men Shut Up#so when it was this chara who didnt look any older than like. 25….. i lost interest#‘snap you shouldnt put down a good story just cause of the art’ LIKE THE ART WAS GREAT#I WAS JUST HOPING THE YAKUZA WAS OLDER….. i love it when scary older men can be cute and care for animals#its why i like the yakuza’s bias. except the yakuza doesn’t take care of an animal he just fangirls over Royalty Free Jimin#i forgot i set an alarm and it just went off so i should prob cap this post. like i shouldve twelve tags ago LOL

like when it comes to people advocating for shit like more of kikuo's work to be included in prsk it's just...... did you... did you look at the lyrics. or did you just hear technically well-made somber-sounding music and go "yeah this would be perfect for 25ji to cover 😍🥰💖💖" (side note: society when 25ji stops getting labeled as the Edgy group when their personal themes are just as positive and lovely and heartwarming as all the other groups 💔society when this fandom learns to read) without taking the five minutes to understand the absolutely abysmal really fucking disturbing sickening topics kikuo tackles in his music . like this isn't music you listen to for fun it should make you uncomfortable you don't fucking Jam Out to this stuff you shouldn't be able to listen to it more than like. once. it has no place in prsk and this applies to a lot of other songs and producers y'all want in there and also some. songs that are already in the game but i digress

you ever love people and humanity and the inherent Good of it so much it aches and hurts your heart , because you never see it. its never really been there for you to see it. you’ve only ever experienced the bad of it, but you’re so in love with the idea, you want to breathe and be alive just for the chance to see it ? you ever just do that?
#rambles of a mad man#a quote i think about constantly is “you haven’t even met half the people who are going to love you yet”#and its just so ..#the world is bad and everything is falling apart right now. i’m in an abusive household with no way out and have been for a long time#ive had a habit of being in very toxic relationships with people#so its very easy for me to fall into the line of thinking that all people are inherently evil and want to hurt me and use me all the time#and i was stuck thinking that for a while#but then i met people who love me and showed it! and it was scary because Wow i didnt know people could. do that!#and ive gained a lot more love and appreciation through that. and its still very scary sometimes because im aware i dont really know#how to deal with it all#i dont know how to react to a lot of affection i receive#but its made me fall in love with the idea of people.. even if i am still afraid to meet new ones because my old line of thinking is still#in there somewhere unfortunately… but then i read stories of people experiencing random acts of kindness from strangers#or pictures of people in art museums or pictures of kids and their dads laughing together in public#and then i think oh… people are good actually ….#i daydream about dancing with friends in a kitchen or whatever#or walking through a city and going in shops and looking at all the little trinkets together#walking in a park when its late at night just talking and talking and talking.. talking until the sun rises#isnt that what being a person is all about? just being good with people?#ive been a very angry person for a very long time and i still am#but sometimes i’ll have nights like these where i just want to live .for people#and then i cry about it#sorry im having one of those nights im thinking a lot#thought id share. idk#congrats if you read this far hi :)

For the character bingo: Celehar (The Witness for the Dead series) or Reigen (MP100)?
Well I have to do both.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Celehar's arc isn't done but I'm obsessed regardless. He's growing and healing but also still can't see his own worth! Really looking forward to the last book. I want him to finally let go of some of that grief and forgive himself. Also the presumably popular ship for this character is the best and I love the slowburn. Reigen's arc is very relatable in that "who am I really if my job doesn't define me" sort of way and I love him for that. He gets too much screen time in the second season (not in the manga) during the separation arc. The show runners should have dedicated one fewer episode to Reigen's story and put that extra time into the Mogami arc instead. I think the Mogami story line suffered from being too short and that Reigen's story would have done fine with two episodes. Bones loves Reigen (understandable) and probably let that bias towards his character dictate how much time they spent on him. Or maybe it's just that the show tends to do 3-episode arcs?
