finished reading all of Dungeon Meshi. completely fucking unhinged. unbelievably moving. climax was weird and exciting and surprisingly apocalyptic. the end of every character arc was bittersweet as hell. I think I'm a different person now. over this silly-ass cooking manga.

Happy 20th anniversary to Joanna Newsom's stunning and inimitable debut studio album The Milk-Eyed Mender!!!

Okay this shot of Colin is giving me the vibes of this little part of their first night together:

He's figured out that he loves her before this moment but he's just feeling so much that he also can't believe it's all because of Penelope, his lifelong friend who he didn't even see any other way before this season. He's like: "What the fuck and how the fuck are you making me feel these things" and I LOVE IT

He also looks like he was crying (or maybe that's just me) but that would also bring the whole scene on another level

was just thinking about how amazing it is that weird wonderful world and ghost files exist at the same time from the same company. you have the same minds, the same hosts, the same team and yet the shows are like day and night. www reminds us of the wonder and whimsy and joy all around us while ghost files showcases the world's darker side in its tragedies and horrors. and that they're able to execute both shows each with its own finely-tuned aesthetic and its own little universe is really a beautiful display of how much Talent and Love exists at watcher and it's so so special.

My favorite thing in the world about Rise Leo is that he acts Like That but then at any given moment he's almost always doing something that's like. so fucking clever.

Like in the episode "The Ancient Art of Ninja Hide and Seek," the guys are sneaking around Big Mama's hotel to steal something from her guard dog Gus's collar. Raph's idea of stealth is uhhh holding a frond over his head, and Mikey and Donnie spend most of their time scooting a food cart up the stairs. Gus sniffs them all out and they all have to be rescued by Splinter.

And then Leo does this

And it seems so stupid, but like? it's actually not?? there's a strategy here???

The other guys get caught bc Gus is an incredible tracker w a great sense of hearing and smell—which Leo knows from their last run-in with him. So what does Leo do? He eliminates the problem by purposefully sneaking up on Gus in a crowded, noisy, distracting room so Gus won't be able to hear or smell him. And it WORKS—Gus doesn't notice him even when he's right under his nose! He just gets unlucky that the Evil Sports match ends right when he gets his hands on the collar.

It's just. so endlessly funny to me that Leo's the one who gets the closest to actually completing the mission without needing Splinter to bail him out, and no one notices bc he does so with the air of a court jester. A little clown boy. He truly radiates the vibe of someone constantly flying by the seat of his booty shorts, meaning no one realizes until Shredder that he's secretly the only one on the team who regularly uses ANY problem-solving or planning skills lmao

“was it the moon???”

anyone else having to go through fhjy at a snail's pace bc every time there's a teacher-student interaction (even the positive ones!) you want to set something on fire because of how much you hate high school and american academic culture and it throws you back to the Bad Old Days of actually being in high school, but also you really like fantasy high and you really like the characters and their story and the players and the way they're exploring & critiquing the US school system and basically everything about the show but actually watching it makes your brain explode?

obsessed w the episode of Bones where they’re telling some wealthy lady with a mini pomeranian that her ex husband is dead and she starts crying and instead of offering any kind of comfort, brennan just takes the dog off her and happily exclaims (and this is verbatim) "he’s so compact!!"

Megamind + swivel chair shenanigans

“sukuna is a fraud” the biggest of them all!! “he doesn’t fight fair, he cheats” cause he knows how to. “gojo would have won if…” if he knew how to cheat better. NEXT.

I love when seven of nine fucks up social interactions. I love when she does something weird or off-putting or talks too precisely about something unpleasant. I love that she observes tom and b'elanna like lab mice in order to understand how to touch someone with loving intent. I love that she is sharp and disrespectful to janeway when she is passionate about something and can't contain herself like the real officers. I love that she's best friends with the only child on voyager and she is allowed to be curious and indulgent with her and her alone, a child the same age she was when her personhood was taken away. I love that she's shy about singing. I love that she desires perfection, an unattainable and impossible dream.

I wish she'd been represented as a cybernetic cobbled-together scarred creature that has to integrate with a ship that is also held together by scar tissue and hard work. that her healing was shown on her body and her mind, and that it was hideous and terrible and amazing.

Happy 17th anniversary to one of the most important and extraordinary pieces of art ever created, the one and only Joanna Newsom's Ys album!

I watched Rebel Moon last night and it was absolutely hella bloodydamn awesome and I loved it.

I am going to watch it again tonight and several more times in the near future.

Ok ok but the THING IS OK if you remove the hunter/hunted aspect, Amen and Eva’s love for each other is so innocent. Like he’s teaching her to write so she can have a bankable skill, and she’s doodling pictures of him in her notebook. And then when he saw it he just added to it and gave it back to her

What they should have been could have been is such a tragedy already BUT BUT BUT then you add the hunter/hunted aspect of their relationship and you get something that is just irrefutably steeped in tragedy. She haunts his days and nights, turns his dreams into nightmares. He thinks of killing her, kills her friends.

He’s as horrible as promised, but the innocent love was already there when we truly saw what he was capable of. What he had no problem doing, what he was bored by. And now you have a reality where these two people so obsessed and tormented by each other need to kill each other but they just can’t bring themselves to do it.

I think there will be a happy ending for them, I really do, whatever it may look like (murder suicide and happiness in the afterlife being first and foremost on my mind) but I think everything between then and now will be a tragedy
