Blake and Yang having a “meet the parents” moment in v10 seemed like wishful thinking before but now? Knowing that Ruby’s plan worked and the other kingdoms went to Vacuo which likely includes Ghira and Kali with the faunus militia PLUS v9 revealing that Raven has even more explaining to do than perhaps previously thought which is going to have to happen sooner rather than later….

Yea I think we’re gonna get the bees meeting the parents for sure

I need a completely rewritten teen wolf series with Derek Hale as the main character. I think it would heal me.

the “my name is john silver, and i’ve got a long fucking memory” scene will always be one of my favorites because it’s one of the points where you really feel the inevitability of black sails. it has to end a certain way because you know from the very first episode that this is a prelude to treasure island, which is an extremely well known story. you already know how silver’s story has to end, because you know who he has to become. everyone knows the person he will become, his character in treasure island has had an enormous influence on pirates in pop culture (peg leg? check. parrot on his shoulder? check.). and while there are other moments that set him on the path to being the long john silver in treasure island (such as becoming the cook on the walrus and losing his leg), arguably the most important part is him getting the name long john silver.

before that, his future isn’t quite set in stone. sure, he’s the sea cook of the original title of the book, and sure, he has the missing leg, but he’s not long john silver yet. he doesn’t have the identity that he will be known and feared for. he doesn’t have to be long john silver. gaining the name and the persona that comes with it is such an integral part of sealing his fate, and before it comes you can almost believe that the story won’t end like that. that the john silver you see won’t become the long john silver that lives on in pop culture enough that there’s a fucking seafood restaurant chain named after him.

and, if you’re like me, you’ve spent almost 3 seasons wondering how it will happen— how “silver” becomes Long John Silver. the scene doesn’t even seem incredibly special at first, until silver says “my name is john silver, and i’ve got a long fucking memory” and then all you can do is sit there for a moment because that’s it. he’s put into motion what you know will eventually become the identity he’ll go down in history with. he hasn’t become long john silver yet, but from that moment on you know he will. it’s one more piece of the story clicking into place, and it’s a crucial step in bribing us to the inevitable ending. you can see the island looming on the horizon.

the worst part of organizing my fic document is how long I put it off for because by then I’ve forgotten what like.. half of the fics I’ve read were about or how much I liked them

Urg I feel like crap, but at least no Covid (for now…). I want to run the dogs so badly, but I’m also part of this team and need to give myself the same grace I’d give the dogs. I hate it.

as a fellow she-ra fan it makes me REALLY happy that you watch it too! it’s such a good show ugh and it’s so cute 🥺 10/10 i would love to cuddle and watch it with you and nerd out about it 🥺🤭💖

it’s so funny whenever i tell anyone about my long ass screenplay. the guy in my class said I’d love to read it and i said No you wouldn’t

so in regards to the bat charm, esp in the hella awesome banquet mv!!!!

the tag itself is called ofuda, a protective talisman!!! there are many different types of ofuda (omikuji are also classified as a kind of ofuda for instance) and throughout the hella awesome banquet mv, we do see the bat charm used as said various types!!!!

here in these two shots, we see the bat charm used as a senjafuda!!! senjafuda are these talismans with personalised designs that, once upon a time ago in japan, were passed around in secret councils like trading cards. ofuda typically have a deity written on it to call for luck, wealth, health, whatever said deity presides over. senjafuda, however, tend to have the person’s name on it and when people would go on pilgrimages, they’d stick the senjafuda on temple shrine gates like a very decorative ‘we were here’ tag lol

fits with the journey to hell narrative that seems to be happening in the mv!!!

and this type of ofuda is known as fuin no ofuda!!!! this one is used as a type of seal to keep evil, vengeful spirits enclosed and away from humans. the more powerful the spirit, the more seals are required to contain in the enclosed space. it’s already a little worrisome to see imagery of kuukou getting killed but this puts a evil spirit/vengeful spirit spin on top of it 🤔

actually is there a word for when you’re autistic and your brain like never lets you get over anything bad ever? think there should be

v proud because i’ve been eating well, taking hour long walks + hikes daily, and confronting my negative thoughts about my body/food more often. slowly but surely getting there bois 🥲
