Shinjiham is cute when it’s romantic but tbh I think i vastly prefer the idea of them being best friends instead. Like, neither of them really saw it coming and weren’t really looking to get another best friend (Shinji has Akihiko, Kotone has Junpei and Yukari respectively) but it happens anyway. Kotone takes a liking to Shinji much faster than she does anyone else and I’d say a big reason is just the fact that he’s so reserved that it allows Kotone to do most of the talking while he just listens and they love this arrangement cuz Kotone doesn’t get to talk about her own interests very much. Though I think some of her needs to talk to Shinji stems from this insecurity that he isn’t happy in the group and she has this people pleasing problem and wants everyone to be happy so she makes a much bigger effort to talk to Shinji. And it’s very unfortunate because Shinji intentionally acts cold and distant because he doesn’t want to form any attachments because he wants to die soon, but aaaaaaaagh dammit this girl just keeps talking to him and being sweet and encouraging him to engage in his interests and share them with the others and he just can’t seem to say no when she’s got those damn puppy eyes. And Kotone is just able to get him out of his shell by being persistent but not in an overwhelming way, she’s very cheerful and supportive of him. And Shinji is able to offer her support by encouraging her to talk about herself and by making sure she’s taking care of herself. They just click really well and make such a positive dent in each other’s lives and it’s all about basic acts of kindness going a long way you know?
The worst part of Nightfall's obsession with Twilight and taking over as the Forger Wife is that for a mission that revolves entirely around having a child, her plan to deal with Anya is to heavily abuse her into submission.
Twilight has had struggles with parenthood himself, but he's never actively mistreated or worked Anya to the bone, because even back when he was more open about his disdain for the mission he acknowledged she's just a child that needs to be nurtured for success to be possible. Meanwhile Nightfall can't even dig up that kind of compassion to accurately do the mission because she genuinely doesn't seem to think of Anya as a person, just as a tool that comes with the role she wants to be in.
Watching JJK SN2 right now as it's releasing, is literally history in the making. This is so huge. Gege is insane.
As an anime only I'm genuinely tweaking.. I'm not okay.. I'm scared.. I don't remember the last time I was so scared watching anything. What in God's name was that
Tumblr is rapidly becoming my main social media and that's brilliant because 1) NONE of my irl friends are active here, and only one of them even has an account, and that's the one that won't make fun of me and is regularly mentioned in my authors notes and 2) this is my secondary blog so nobody would find it accidentally because it's a completely separate url and name the only thing recognisable straight away is the picture of my cat and my friends wouldn't be my friends if they were observant so I'm in the clear lol
im !! on main again abt naomi and the concept of agency. it's subtle, as in she's never actually voiced that's the problem but after everything with marco, after everything she would do for marco once, she truly lashes out any time anyone makes choices for her or for her own good. personally that's where i see the big fracture with her and amos even if she loves him even if he's the first person she considered family after marco. amos undoubtedly would and has killed for her. except she knows what it's like to have your hands filled with blood for someone else. amos may not see it that way but it doesn't make her feeling of responsibility for him any lighter— something she never wanted in the first place. what happens on ganymede is especially telling of that, it's the first time he stops her and she lashes out, using the sedatives even if she comes to regret it. same thing with holden and the sample— she feels powerless in their decision so she hides the fact that she thought the belt should have it and she hides that she kept it even if again she comes to regret the way she went about it. hell even on their fight about the disabled missile, she's furious he chose for her until holden says this was something he couldn't live with. it's then she listens truly listens and says her side on this too. because the decision stopped being just for her at i don't have it in me.
