I'm really just here late at night thinking about how the Forgers have all these really cute matching outfits but realistically speaking it has to be Loid who picsk them all and now I'm really just lying here in bed thinking about how this not-a-real-dad is taking the time to pick out matching outfits for his not-a-real-family and probably taking care to make sure the outfits are cute but still comfy for Anya and also stylish for Yor and thinking how his family would probably look so cute normal in them all the while telling himself its for the mission and not because he loves these girls and the home theyve made and please help me im a mess

Rambling about Johnathon’s Concept Art:

I love the little note in sketch #1. Posture & Attitude.

While I enjoy how expressive and adorable his body language is in all these drawings OH GOD I can only imagine the amount of back pain he must have!!

Johnathon 🤝 Me hunching over while working.

In drawing #8. I like how he’s the kind of guy to hold his arms behind his back while standing idly. Idk I think it’s cute when people do that!!!

I LOVE ALL THE DIFFERENT WAYS HIS HAIR AND BEARD ARE STYLED!!! I’d say #9. is my favorite!!!!

I also really like #2. #3. #6. and #12.

Speaking of #12. I LOVE the detail of the pen leaking an ink spot and him checking the pen!!!

I’m also OBSESSED with the wardrobe they gave him ♡(〃•ॢ 〃•ॢ 〃)!!! I feel like older men in movies are often given very plain colors. So seeing a bunch of different vibrant colors and patterns makes me SO HAPPY!!!!

So much of his personality is shown through his wardrobe and the care he puts into his appearance. Which makes the fact he loses it so much bigger!!

His more casual/summer outfits have me twirling my hair and kicking my feet (⁄ ⁄•⁄﹃ ⁄•⁄ ⁄)⁄♡!!!

ALSO IN DRAWING #2. HE HAS TATTOOS!!!! Sadly they only appear in that drawing but I think they really suit him and are so cool looking!!!

Can I just say I adore how passionate he is about his work!!! Johnathon gives me vibes he’s the kind of person who works in organized chaos. Messy to everyone else but him!!

Babygirl pose.

Also like the detail in #13. where he’s surrounded by crumbled up paper. Clearly tired and stuck on work.

I LOVE THAT THEY GAVE HIM FRECKLES!!!

(⸝⸝⸝⚆﹃ ⚆⸝⸝⸝)♡ The Spot describes himself as handsome by scientist standards but I just think he's SUPER HOT in general!!!

The DLC for elden ring can't drop soon enough. These content creators are going banana's from the lack of new content.

i need to stop pulling my eyebrows when im anxious cause now i have bald patches in my fucking eyebrows wtf

People with bushy eyebrows.

Reblog if you agree.

the wierd thing that I think about lately is „will my imagined child will look at my photos of me today and say: ‚my mother used to be so beutiful’ and not recognize me as the same person i will be in the future as their patent?”

i’m saying this with the huge disclaimer that i don’t really plan kids and that it’s not a sugestion that older women are not beautiful. sometimes i’m just looking at old photos of my mother and think how she changed and how she in some way lost her personalisty in order to be a mother of six, and how carefree she looks on these photos… and i think that behind that thought is hidden a silent question, is someone allowed to know me deeply and think of me as beautiful

your amboo is the best id blow up planet Earth for her

YOUR GLITCH IS SO PRETTY BEAUTIFUL (GENDER NEAUTRAL)

also all your rooms people: ARE SOOOOO PRETTY PRETTYY PRETTYY PRETTYYYTT PRETTY ESPECAILLY A-120 AND A-60 LIKE OOOOUGH /SIMPING

AAAUUUGGGGHHHHHHH

Social media stop showing me modern tiktoks with trad goths and y2k inspired fashion or I swear I will do something unforgivable to my eyebrows

gigi's dumbest decision ever: cut her curly hair to the shoulders, gave it a layered cut shape, and now her head is like a mushroom.

I think it’s a little funny that I drew Gerome with a forest of a happy trail once and people seem to have loved it so much that i feel like it’s mentioned to me a lot lol I love it

Someone said the ED was about Anya being Loid and Yor's light but that's not true, because Anya is in darkness too. She needs them too

We see them all alone for a reason, and that's because without each other it's darkness. When they go into their own rooms they have to be alone again, focusing on the mission or on their past or what have you

But the moment the sun comes up and a new days begins, they finally feel hopeful

And that's when we see the light. The OP and ED really aren't being subtle here. They are each others light. And even if it is "for the mission" clearly it's not. Because all we see are things that are clearly not for the mission.

The mission doesn't require hugs or laughs from friends, it doesn't require family cooking and dinner. It doesn't need any of this

The people who need this are Loid, Yor, and Anya (and Bond of course).

And when the day ends and the mission begins again, we see the toll it takes on them. Because for there to be light, there needs to be a little bit of darkness. But the Forgers know, maybe subconsciously, that their light is always waiting for them at home.

I thought whenever kenny was on the phone last week that maybe he was texting Don, but now i know he's not... And he said, "I always thought that spot would be open for..."??? I'm asking WHO kenny?! WHO??

DO YOU GUYS SEE THE VISION I need a live show with all four of them performing together

I’m sure there’s like a canon design for The Library but literally all I can picture is essentially this dude from Spirited Away but with only one set of arms:

I know I mentioned this a little bit last night with the screenshots. But it really is fascinating seeing Seiroku’s inherent contradictory-seeming nature to certain aspects.

He mocks and says friends and comrades are useless trash to not be worth saving or fighting for. Based on the limited discussion that Seiroku mentions towards Naoe, his band prior to the Obsidian Eight was NOT a good experience for him. 

But as long as they are in a band, those with special powers always get the short end of the stick. Bands are organizations where the weak masses cling to the few strong ones. None of them hesitate to push the hardest jobs onto others while they kick back and offer hollow encouragement. They only force you to carry their hopes and dreams They expect more and more. I’m sure your friends are the same worthless trash not even worth saving.

And....he isn’t entirely wrong, not completely. People DO project their hopes and dreams onto others, we even see it in the series, the same way we see the masses or certain cast members rely on only a handful to be the real fire power. It’s not a particularly STRONG point to the Uesugi because their strength COMES from that connection with one another (although it really is still applicable as the majority looked to Naoe and/or Kuroko to help them/tell them what to do). But we see it with others. Even if it is more positive since its main characters, but it’s still there under the surface. So one can imagine how much Seiroku was put under pressure. It’s like trying to swim while being dragged down. The backlash if something goes wrong, things just become ‘expected’ and no longer praise worthy or the effort acknowledged. The higher and stronger they’re viewed, the deeper the fall. Seiroku clearly had and has no interest in being any sort of motivating figure for others. He just wanted to do his part. Not to mention the hollow words of encouragement and pushing the hardest jobs onto others means he himself likely both observed and experienced that. It leaves a bitter taste when someone offers you fake happiness when they want to see you fail, or make you do everything while they get benefits from it. Aka like every school group project.

But at the same time, Seiroku DOES try to connect with the other members of the Obsidian Eight. It’s not a BAND. It’s a GROUP. And for the most part, they’re all strong. Different levels obviously, but it’s not like in a band with hundreds or thousands of significantly weaker members clinging helplessly to you and projecting onto you. For the hate and disgust and disdain he has for the bushi bands, its not a reflection of Seiroku’s interest in connections. He clearly puts in the effort, especially with Shiro that we’ve seen so far (which is rather hilarious considering Shiro is.....well......Shiro), to be able to have the connection and chat with others. He isn’t a lone wolf type, but he does see a clear divide between the weak and the strong and only wants to be around those who he sees as equals or at least in the strong category.

Now this is less headcanon-y and more just discussion. And all of it is very subjective because summaries only offer so much and I’d rather read the actual translations whenever they eventually come out, especially for what Seiroku himself says. But in regards to chapter 139. It’s mentioned the doors for the eight basically create whatever the members imagine or what they might wish for. An eternal dream so to speak. Although it’s mentioned Seiroku’s is probably his previous life. But I doubt that. More likely, its what Seiroku would have wished for. Or maybe it’s the beginning of it when things were nice before Seiroku became bitter and hateful towards bushi bands. Again, translations will play a lot into this. But it is interesting it is in fighting oni within a band, but a band he’s welcomed in and treated equally. More like how he is in the Obsidian Eight than what he likely was treated like in reality (or in reality once his strength showed itself fully - again dependent). Which really does just show he does WANT connections and a close circle to him, especially if it is Seiroku’s ideal dream. And also his want to play doctor more since he doesn’t get to do that as often anymore.
