Please tell me about art and media you know of that accurately captures the weirdness of dream logic and atmosphere and emotions... books and movies and video games and art and comics and YouTube stuff, whatever you want... you know, where it only makes sense on an intuitive level and falls apart when you try to explain it...

Hope you feel better!
Warriors called Twilight "just some guy," and he had no idea how happy that made him.
Twilight saw how Warriors was around nobles. When Twilight first met Warriors, he bought that fake, perfect smile, too, but now he knew better. Anytime they met someone Important or some other nonsense, Warriors whipped out that damned smile, the one that made him look handsome and charming and made his eyes look hunted. Warriors never bothered with that smile with Twilight.
Other soldiers, too. Twilight thought Warriors would be comfortable around them, but he always stood a little straighter and his face grew sterner, and he reminded Twilight more of a stone statue than his brother. Warriors didn't bother standing all right and pretty for Twilight. He rolled in the mud and cursed like a farmboy with Twilight.
Warriors rarely did that sweet, confident, reassuring smile with Twilight, either. The one he shared with Wind and Hyrule and sometimes even Time. The one he used when he assured them that everyone was fine, everything was okay, they could trust Warriors to make everything all right. Like everyone didn't trust in Warriors, anyway.
Nah. Twilight was just some guy to Warriors, and Twilight was good with it. If it helped Warriors relax enough for his real accent to slip out or for him to be so entertained he actually giggled, then Twilight would always be just some guy to Warriors.
And Warriors would always be just Twilight's brother to him. To prove it, it was time for Twilight to tackle him into that pond over there.
Yeah. Warriors only shrieked like that around Twilight, too.

language barriers | barou
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
incl. a very confused barou shouei ᡣ𐭩
warnings. fem reader, fluff, suggestive dialogue, established relationship, ooc
an's. bold letter is your native language & japaneese
Tumblr media
10:32 AM
"shouei" you called. your boyfriend came almost immediately, although he wasn't far.
"we should try this" you handed him your phone, letting the video of a couple speaking in their native languages as a challenge play.
he raised an eyebrow and gave you back your phone.
"why would we wanna do that, i don't speak (native language) and you don't speak japaneese"
"uhh, tuh-eyeah—that's the point silly, come on we should do it, it'll only be for today and tomorrow!"
barou thought too himself for a moment,
"and we can see who can go the longest without cracking, i call dibs on going first!"
and then eventually.
"sure why not"
"yes!"
Tumblr media
11:36 AM
"shouei, give me the remote", you asked politely, motioning for him to give you the object.
your boyfriend stared curiously at you for a moment before you asked again, only this time in a more demanding tone.
"the remote shouei, right next to you" you started pointing at the black box, smiling because of how innocent he looked at the moment.
a look of revelation crossed his face before finally, "this?" he asked unsure of himself, but he was picking up the right thing.
"yes," you nodded your head, "bring it here please", you held your hand out and waited for barou to cross the room.
"sit down" you said, patting the open space next to you and he did so immediately, staring directly into your eyes as a way to show he understood you.
aw, he's so cute like this...maybe ill tease him a bit
"good boy" you purred, linking arms with him on the couch, occasionally glancing over at him and commenting on the movie playing. he nodded his head like he understood you but you were sure he didn't.
"shouei" he turned his head, he understood that.
" am i saying right now?" he began to nod his head again but quickly stopped as the grin on your face grew.
he bit his lip instead , his eyebrows knitting together to form a concentrated look on his face. "uhm...i don't...i"
you giggled at his reluctantly to say the word. "what you don't know? come on tell me love, what aren't you getting hm?"
barou blushed at your words, he didn't know much of ( native language ) but he did know one thing : pet names, and this one was the easiest to remember.
love? he thought. is she saying she loves me?
wow, this was more frustrating that he thought, he regrets not putting any of his own conditions on the game beforehand.
well its no use now might as well give it a go...
"i love you too, yn...?" you burst out laughing and his face began to turn red. you began speaking again but it was reduced to gibberish and nonsense because of how little ( native language ) he knew.
gosh, i really gotta learn some ( native language ) one day...this is killing me
"shouei you're so sweet you know that? the best boyfriend in the world in my opinion"
the confused look on barou's face persisted and he couldn't even read your body language properly because of one: how much you were giggling and two: you were staring directly into his eyes, not to mention a third thing, three : ( although he doesn't like admitting it ) you made him quite nervous sometimes. right now was definitely one of those times.
his heart picked up speed.
"fuck, i can't, i give up, talk to me baby whatter you saying?"
he broke, holding your hands in his, lookimg just as deeply into your eyes as you were his. you touched foreheads.
"oh i don't know, what am i saying shou? something good i hope" you grinned cheeckily.
his face was troubled, but only for a moment. he had an idea.
"fine, you're being that way?" and before you could say any more you were suddenly seeing the couch cushions with your hands held securely behind your back.
"guess im gonna have to force it out of you", barou began lifting your shirt, twirling his fingers featherlight on your skin.
fuck, you didn't know any japanese, what was be saying. "wait wait wait, okay im sorry you win"
"nahh...i dont think so...what goes around comes back around sweetheart, sorry"
fuck, you really didn't know japanese !

the cycle of life for the entity of Death on Supernatural is so very interesting!! to me!! until it isn't. which is just. par for the course really.
i mean the idea that you can kill Death at all sounds. Absurd. but they make it happen. and we're hanging out for like a season and some change with the knowledge that the world exists without Death. and then. they introduce reaper lore that gives Death back to the world for a small. price, I'll say. WHICH IS. SO GOOD YK?
this kind of establishes the power of Death to be an amorphous thing really. Like. the Old Death was never killed before deanchester's moment of madness (that we know of anyway), so it's kind of a Doctor's first Regeneration moment there. he dies and you're like oh fuck. but then there's someone else in his place who is slightly different but also the same. it's kind of. like a reincarnation. which is FUN!!! IT'S GOOD!! it also establishes that Death doesn't really...die. there's no resting place that Death needs because Death isn't going to rest when someone "kills" them. mostly it's just power that's hopping celestial bodies.
they really could've leaned into this more with what little screen time Billie had. they definitely allude to it — i haven't watched s13 in a hot minute but the way Billie interacts with Dean as Death does have an allusion to how she *is* Old Death and also isn't. if i remember correctly. (which is not a 100% thing but yk)
the thing about all this super fun lore is that it makes everything from the end of unity sooooo damn stupid. Why would Death fear being killed? How would It even contract an infection that's gonna kill It??? Even if that's somehow possible, wouldn't Death — filled with vengeance even let's assume — just be like. well. I'll come back for you you bitch. like. this is the entity that has lived since before time. Death knows the value of patience and understands the ephemeral nature of life and time more than anyone else would. So why the anger? Or the desperate attempt at killing dean that's straight up Disney villain level of cartoonish. what good is any of it?? Say, Death is mad at Dean, specifically, for being "human disorder incarnate." that's something that still doesn't track for me. because dean's always BEEN that. when Billie became Death, she had the opportunity to exact revenge on him. He hasn't really done anything That Much Worse since then tbh?? Like okay apocalypse world is def a thing that happened, but even then. That "Michael -Lucifer" battle was barely anything. (and im assuming the grace-fed monsters were all taken care of as well bc the plot went nowhere with it anyway). also. at this point Chuck has revealed himself to the world so really. Dean's choices that might have irked Death were all ..like....mostly not his fault anyway? Wouldn't Death understand this?!
also. another thing. Again: You can't kill Death and Death doesn't need a resting place because it's a body-hopping eldritch power. which means that the empty can't kill it either. Which means that when the empty takes Cas and Billie, Billie was just. there. Arguably, neither of them really died. they were just sort of turned off inside the void™ like electronics. Which means!! THAT THERE CAN'T BE ANOTHER DEATH!!!
Death is literally just hanging out in the empty. It would probably escape/leave if the empty opened up again but like we don't know about all that. what I'm trying to say is that the reaper dying in 15.19 and becoming Death is. Stupid™. does not make sense. everything about 15.19 is stupid and does not make sense but the Death thing especially is making me so mad rn.
anyway long post that's just a pointless rant but essentially!!!!! there was no reason for Billie to do a full 180° on her entire personality and the writers to trash the lore to make the Evil Death moment happen like that was literally unnecessary and also stupid and not to mention racist. Like this is why i haaaate despair outside the bubble of the confession. because like yeah that scene literally did something to my brain but my god the actual insane plot gymnastics they did to make that confession go down the way it did is just...so insane lmao

despite being more often than not a "rules as written" fan over "rule of cool", i really do love me a good "rules be damned, i'll give you this awesome moment" call. like matt giving fcg the otohan kill despite what her hp was at or brennan giving cerrit an extra mage slayer reaction attack at the end of calamity. honestly, if anything, i think the fact they mostly play by the book makes these moments even better because it really has that extra weight towards those decisions to put the rules aside.

In honor of the @rw-ship-showdown I wanted to write about Artihunter as someone who jokingly slapped them together pre-downpour and still thinks they are actually very compelling. Just not in the super soft love wins kinda way (Although I get why people like that more) And the only way I know how to do that is talking too much so heres a far too long slug essay-
Obviously the slugcats don't offer a ton of characterization but theres not nothing to work with. Their stories, whether by their roles in it or the overarching themes do provide a backbone to work with. Even gameplay itself can provide a bit. (for some more than others) Hunter, to me, is ultimately a story about selflessness. The goal is to revive Moon, which is very much an act of kindness from both Hunter and NSH. But the weight of that action is much more significant for Hunter- Hunter is deeply sick. They're on the clock, and for all their skill in combat none of that will ultimately help them to survive longer than their body can hold out. Moon is a close friend of NSH but that means little Hunter- Hunter really gets next to nothing out of helping them, and ultimately pays quiet a bit spending their limited time alive fighting to deliver that neuron so that someone else can live.
To spend ones limited days on helping another, in a game that very much stresses the unwavering cruelty of the world and nature- is pretty notable. (And you could even say that Hunter being the Hardmode of Rain World adds another layer to this)
And then we have Artificer. A storyline that very much stands out to people as more… villainous (so to speak) than the other slugcats. Artificer's story covers a lot of things. Trauma, violence, revenge, etc. Revenge is a bit of a selfish desire- That need to see someone hurt as they have hurt you. A punishment that ultimately does not fix whatever harm was done- but feels good to see because you were hurt and now those responsible share that pain.
Artificer's actions are founded in that need for revenge, their pups killed for overstepping boundaries they didn't know existed. Is it not fair for them to be angry at that, to punish the scavengers for their violence with their own? Why should the scavengers ever be forgiven when they and their pups were not? And that's how you get that loop- Harm for harm over and over.
The original action has been lost in a spiral of violence for violence. And here stands Artificer- their very spirit scarred. Not just because they sought revenge, but because they never ceased trying to scratch that itch for violence as an answer. Artificer only has two paths for their story- killing the scavenger king (Someone who, really, has little to do with the original 'crime' of the scavengers, but represents an important individual to them- as did the slugpups to Artificer), locking themselves as karma one for good and spending the rest of their life chasing creatures that no longer even fight back in a warped sense of closure- or to dissolve themselves in the acids of the void sea because they're too far gone to find any real peace.
They can't meaningfully recover from that state, not alone, twisting in on themselves. Even if they halt their actions, they've been using violence as a feeble defense against their own pain- violence that no longer has any real direction or basis. Artificer gets no real closure from killing the scavenger king. All they can do is continue the cycle, or try to scrub it away. No real peace in a prison of their own making. So you have a creature, who even with a strict timer on their life- a body that will crumble to disease, spends its last bit of time on saving another. And another who was so caught up in the pain of loss that were eaten alive by their own anger, poisoned their own soul on such a deep level even self-proclaimed gods have no solution for them. What peace can they offer each other? For Hunter, its only a fleeting moment of happiness- of selfish love, before their own body fails them. A bit of indulgence in something for themself. For Artificer, its a single, comforting thread to ground them again, something tangible to protect and care about again. But thats a thread that will ultimately be snapped under the cruel indifference of the world. Hunters timer will tick down regardless of if it takes another with it. Its a tragedy- its doomed to end badly. Whatever good it offers to either of them to find each other will only provide the fleeting comfort of a band-aid that will be ripped away too early. But all that can be worth indulging in anyway, if only for the moment. It doesn't change the ending, but the ending was never going to be happy. Its can so yuri

don't you ever just think about how kaz said "i'm a cripple. that's my tell. no one's ever smart enough to look for the others." the others. i think, especially with the show, a lot of us forget that and think his only real weakness is inej. but it isn't. it's definitely jesper too, the brother he cannot lose again. and i know he means the other crows as well. because that's kaz's character. deep down the way to hurt him is to hurt the people he cares about. he's extremely loyal and his revenge plot against pekka was to avenge his brother. his biggest motivation isn't money, it's the protection and security he can give the people he cares about with it. and those people are his tells

what if we get a scene that parallels the moonlight scene in s1ep5. like, ed and stede are in a similar spot where they’re looking at each other from across the way, longing for each other, yearning for each other’s touch and affection. so they’re once again stuck for a few beats looking like this—
Tumblr media Tumblr media
but instead of parting ways again, something in them breaks, and they run back to each other to grab hold of what’s hanging in the air between them. they run back to see through what was started, but never finished.
they run back to deeply kiss each other.

The best thing about BSD Lucy Montgomery is that she is trying so hard to live her fairy tale dream, like asking Atsushi to save her from the Guild and all that nonsense.
Instead, she just gets beaten by him once when they're enemies, gets out of the Guild on her own, and has to save that sorry boy's life over and over again.
Like, sorry, Lucy girl...you're not the damsel in distress in this fairy tale. You're the prince charming who had a bit of a villain arc and now is doing good out of sheer spite and stubborness. Better luck next arc?

im kinda glad i was a tiny child when windwaker came out and i only played it years later without having internet access for the longest time bc i would have NOT survived the hatred i know ww got when it first came out bc it wasnt what most people expected (ww is my fav zelda)
loving botw but not liking totk and seeing the vast majority praise the latter like its the holy grail while alot also discrediting and needlessly hating on botw for it is already making it hard to stay calm about :U
