#but I have inferred it

Being a kid and watching Danny Phantom meant accepting what the show wanted you to know: Dark Danny and Vlad were evil. They were one-dimensional villains who were just there to be evil. They were there to be everything that our Danny wasn’t.

Being an adult reading AGIT is acknowledging that Dark Danny lost everything he had at 14 years old. He was a just a child, one that had already been carrying too much for his age. Danny stopped emotionally growing at 14 and tried taking away his pain, but only became consumed by his anger. Being an adult who has experienced loss is understanding exactly how Danny feels. That anger is so much easier than pain.

Being an adult reading AGIT is understanding that Vlad was only in college when his best friend’s negligence cost him his life. Being an adult is understanding that Vlad lost everything too, nearly as young as Danny did.

Being an adult is understanding that no one is black and white. No one is good or evil. We’re all just trying our best. AGIT did such a good job representing this.

I find it so very interesting that Sejanus knew that coryo was excited for the Plinth Prize and told him not to get his hopes up.

One could only say he would’ve told him that if he knew the Snows were having money trouble orrrr

the much funnier option, Coryo and him talked/have talked with each other.

It makes it seem like Sejanus and Coryo had spoken/been friendly before. Especially when you take a look at the rest of their interactions in school.

—Sejanus, out of all places, chooses to sit next to Coryo during the announcement of the Plinth Prize and during Class.

—Sejanus, out of all people chooses to be nice to Coryo, unlike with Arachne etc etc.

—Again, during lunch, Sejanus takes the seat in front of Coryo like he’s done it before.

It just makes you wonder, this “delusion” from Sejanus that they’re friends had to come from somewhere. Coryo being nice to him. Yes of course. But the rest of it. Sejanus knowing personal details, that he had high hopes for the plinth prize, that he sits next to in class, that Highbottom believes they are friends and Coriolanus can try to control/soothe him during the games at Marcus’s appearance.

If none of this makes sense it’s because my thoughts are all jumbled i need to consume all canon content and jump into their brains.

#snowjanus #so many thoughts all crazy #what happened before after and then #what was the extent of their friendship #how did sejanus like of him come to be despite coryo apprehensiveness with interacting with people #i loooove that the movie can sorta make you infer things without having read the book #and although i’m only halfway through the book i can tell coryos brain is just skewed/doesn’t know how to feel about people #even what he thinks it feels like he’s not sure of it himself #GAWDDD #coriolanus snow #sejanus plinth #the ballad of songbirds and snakes

Knives is such a hypocrite and a liar and he lies most of all to himself and i hate him but i also love it. Bro's so coked up on copium all the time.

Claims to be doing it all for the sake of Plants, then arguably takes away their agency and freedom way more than humans ever could. Claims to be doing it for his brother and literally ruins his brother's life in every possible turn. Claims humanity never learns from their mistakes and it literally takes dying for him to stop doubling down on his bullshit. the medical abuse done unto tesla horrified him so much and yet he is directly responsible to the same abuse being subjected to countless of children.

Given the chance, I would love to be his sleep paralysis demon. i do not think I could fix him, but I think I can drive him to early retirement from super villainy.

#millions knives #trigun #tristamp #trimax #i hate this man but also i adore him #or at least i adore grinding his psyche between my teeth #guy has so much crunch to him #the worst possible man to me i need to ruin his life #i gotta say that when i first got into trigun the overall tone coming from the fanbase did soften me up to get absolutely demolished by #literally all the fucked up things happening all the time #but i see less ppl horrified about the fucked up things knives does to the sisters he claims to be protecting than i expected?? #which idk feels like a waste #also saw someone who said who doesn't like a villain who just wants to protect his sisters and dude if that is what protection looks like #id rather be thrown to the wolves #he is so fascinating to me but also i understand him on a molecular level and thats why i hate him so much but again #crunchy guy #nai saverem #vash's mommy issues have nothing on knives i can prove it ( i cannot but i can infer and i can dream)

View Benyapa as Pimfah & June Wanwimol as Napdao in Dangerous Romance (2023) Episode 5

I heard we have a new trainee teacher today. She’s assigned to be our homeroom teacher too. And she’s so damn cute. She’s also an alumna of this school. And most importantly, she's the best in her year class.

#dangerous romance #dangerous romance the series #dangerous romance ep 5 #dangerousromanceedit #*gifs #pimfah x napdao #view benyapa #june wanwimol #honestly i liked this intro of napdao #it feels very much consistent with a theme of the show about expectation x consequent self-image/presentation x actual true self #just as we've seen in almost every other characters #i know many feel uncomfortable about this potential pairing (note: we don't know about that yet). but. please be nice in the tags :) #afterall. i just love to have a gifset of their first meeting. still not very much can be inferred from it yet. i guess.

Once again thinking about Meryl’s fear of worms in tristamp and how that can be taken as a one off “haha funny joke” or how it can be viewed as another way that Meryl’s (supposed) middle/upper class background impacts the way that she interacts with the world.

Worms are one of the few readily available/“staple” proteins (and just food sources as a whole) on No Man’s Land that aren’t sourced directly from Plants. That she reacts to worms with fear, and reacts to the idea of Eating worms with disgust/revulsion indicates either a lack of exposure to the idea of people eating worms (possible if we run with the idea of her being middle/upper class; perhaps the people in her social sphere can rely on Plant-produced proteins and other food), or a degree of separation between the meat she eats and the source from which it originates (something very common with middle/upper class-raised people. There’s a degree of separation between buying a plastic-wrapped steak at a supermarket and butchering a cow).

Either way, that she Is repulsed by worms shows her privilege as someone who can Afford To Be repulsed by worms — someone who maybe hasn’t had to rely on worms as a food source before — and I just think it’s a fun little detail to think about.

#trigun stampede #meryl stryfe #trigun meta #is that what we’re calling analysis now? meta? #regardless #i love meryl stryfe with all of my heart. she is my beloved #also the idea of meryl being middle/upper class is speculation but its something i think can be inferred from the show #given. a lot of things abt her #how she dresses (white clothes in the desert). fear of bugs. being from november + having a journalism degree from a university #which isnt to say she is 100% for sure #honestly im really curious about the class divide in NML as a whole and whether there even IS a prominent middle class #buuuuuut. whatcha gonna do! #originally this was a much much Much longer rant.

There's something romantic about quantum entanglement as a concept. Two particles impacting each other no matter how far apart they are. Centimeters, miles, lightyears- it doesn't matter. A change in one will be reflected as a change in the other.

#tibtalks #science #quantum entanglement #quantum mechanics #i want to make it clear that i am NOT well versed in anything related to quantum/physics stuff #i find a lot of it fascinating from a theoretical aspect #but the actual mathematics of it is a mystery to me #i just think its an interesting theoretical concept #two photons billions of lightyears away from each other #but if you observe one you instantaneously have inferred knowledge abt the other. absolutely wild

"Wallace Wells got to be a more fleshed out character bc we saw him being messy, emotionally stunted in relationships, and therefore more than just the voice of reason" TO YOU. I saw him labeled as Scott's Gay Roomate and saying all the smart things and knew immediately from real life experience that that's who he was though.

#/lh #bi rambles #spto #scott pilgrim #i fully agree that all the side characters got way more fleshed out and that it's a really good thing #but i can't help but laugh when i read that specific example bc i spent p much all of high school thinking that it was an obvious inference #and honestly. considering the movie and how o'malley made the show. i think it very well could have been an intended implication. maybe #wallace wells

‘normal’ denji isn't denji anymore

okay for some reason i have a lot of thoughts about this damn crow because it just seemed so random at first. but it struck me as interesting while I was reading the chapter that the crow is paralleled with pochita here, with both of them on their backs and denji looking back towards them. the comparison was really just making me about how stepping on and killing a crow/animal is something denji neverrr would have done before, and the implications of this moment given some of the things we know about denji and his values.

due to the fact that he's very animal coded himself (specifically dog coded of course), denji has a connection/ respect for most animals as non ‘moral’ beings who aren't looking to hurt him in the way humans and devils are. i think there's also an element of him relating to other beings that are looked down on, as he's been looked down on pretty much his whole life. he would definitely feel guilty to kill an animal (or really anyone/thing that wasn't trying to hurt him) in the earlier chapters of part 1.

following that, pochita was the most important thing in the world to him & their relationship informs denji’s philosophies and moralities. to that end, he viewed pochita as a pet but also as an equal; they were in it together in denji’s eyes. which establishes denji’s unwillingness to look down on a “pet” and similarly, other animals, just because they aren't human, or from the opposite side, his willingness to consider animals or other 'lesser' species as equally important.

later on, we see denji come to understand power better because of her relationship with meowy, which he sees as resembling his relationship with pochita. the fact that she would do anything for this cat makes him see her in a better, more empathetic light, because that's a trait he has himself and values greatly.

and of course, we cant forget the panel where he chooses to save the cat instead of multiple people, which can be read in many different ways, but for my purpose specifically, it means that denji sees value in saving the cat, even over human lives. this once again makes clear his willingness to consider 'lesser' species as important. saving the cat is an equally valid choice in that scenario, because it's still a life to save.

i’m sure there are other instances i’m forgetting, but the key thing is that all of those instances made him the version of denji that was able to be chainsaw man. his own doglike nature, his connection with pochita because of their mutually respectful relationship despite being different species, his connection with power through animals and his choice to save the cat were all distinctly traits that denji valued when he was still able to be chainsaw man. and so, we turn back to ch 150.

currently, denji is so caught up in trying to return to his normal life and justifying his happiness that he accidentally kills an animal. in this moment, he has become so far removed from many of the things that he valued, from many of the things that made him him. very similarly, chasing his dream of a normal life has forced him to give up being chainsaw man - another thing that makes denji distinctly himself, and something that he values very much.

so, i see killing the crow as a moment that snaps denji out of his desire for a normal life because there is a direct cost, a direct violence now that is attached to following this desire. he has trampled on another being while chasing his goal, which is exactly what others have done to him in the past when he was considered a "lesser" being. he could bear to sacrifice things himself for the sake of nayuta and his newfound normalcy, but in that moment, he has gone so against his values that he held in part one that he can’t look past it anymore. his dream isn't just affecting himself anymore, unlike all of his previous dreams. and so he reflects, and with the help of his inner-conciousness-pochita, he realizes that it’s time for a new dream. or perhaps it's just time to return to a life that was never a dream in the first place.

#chainsaw man #csm meta #csm 150 #chainsaw man manga spoilers #long post #csm #spence.speaks #listen this is a lot to infer from just one crow okay. #do i even know if he killed it? no. maybe it was already dead on the ground and fujimoto is the only one that knows that. #do i think it probably has other meanings? yes #buttt i really have a lot of feelings about denjis very complex morality #and i think one of the shining aspects of his morality is his connection with animals #and others who dont have malicious reasons to hurt him #sooo this just seems like a moment that would go so against that #plus his previous goals really only affected himself #and thats partially because he only had himself to look out for #but its also because he is not a violent/malicious/harmful person without reason #anyways. enjoy this fucking ted talk of a post. that is about one (1) crow.

[silverwhittlingknife]

i have a special place in my heart for "show don't tell" storytelling, especially in comic books. comics are a visual medium!

#tim drake #jack drake #comic ref in description #this is the last panel of the comic #and something i really like about it is that i feel like... it has a certain amount of respect for the reader? #you might not notice/get the irony of the batsignal showing up behind them #and the way the batsignal foreshadows that actually this /isn't/ a resolved happy ending #because the conflict between bruce and jack - and more directly between tim's values/priorities vs. his dad's - #hasn't actually been resolved even though they're both sorry and hugging #which means the conflict will inevitably occur again and again and again #which is a very clever grace note here #but if you don't notice that's okay! the comic isn't panicking trying to spell it out for you #if you catch it it's fine and if you don't catch it that's also fine #it has something that i really like about a lot of older comics and sometimes find missing in new ones (at least the ones abt the blorbos) #which is that it assumes that the /readers/ can realize things abt the situation that the /characters/ don't #i read both tim and his dad as both perfectly sincere in this reconciliation - they're caught up in the moment #and physically neither of them can see the batsignal #but we-the-readers can see both the batsignal and the looming future conflicts it implies even though they don't #the narrative isn't telling you what to think! no character emerged to announce 'But In Fact Tim You Still Have A Problem!' #instead the artist has just left the batsignal there and let you make the obvious inferences ON YOUR OWN #similarly in nightwing 110 (another one of my favorites) there's a conversation between dick and tim where they're both lying #if you're only a nightwing reader you know dick is lying but you probably won't figure out that tim is lying (or at least not the extent) #but if you /do/ read tim's comics then you understand what's going on in a way that neither of the characters do #there's just a general understanding that the characters are not fully self-aware nor do they perfectly understand each other #plus the gradual / slow-build / layered conflict #tim's mixed loyalties between bruce and his dad are a constant background slow burn tension #dick's complicated feelings about loving tim but also feeling a little threatened by him are also a low-key thread in the nightwing comics #the writers don't need to have a surprise! sudden! fight! nor do they need all-fluff-all-the-time #instead these tensions are mostly dormant except when they get exacerbated by extreme situations #there are plenty of things that 90s comics do *not* handle well but the character voices and longform style always draw me back <3

About Sanae

Alright, so Sanae Kochiya

Is known to have been a geek as a human in the outside world (referencing pop culture often in multiple of her appearances)

Has very specifically been shown to be into science-related fiction (her interest in aliens in UFO, her absolute joy at being able to go to the moon, her Soku story involving her thinking that Hisotensoku is a giant robot)

Is a noted eccentric

Used to read "occult magazines" when she was young around the turn of the century (Vs. Patchouli win dialogue, Soku) These things we know about her factually

We also know that in the outside world (our world)

American comic books have a niche in Japan (they are not sold in all book stores and the more fashionable shops that sell them sell them in English for the art [Justin Sevakis w/ ANN, 2018])

Most Japanese people who read comics read comics from the Big 2 (Marvel, DC)

At some point, American comics were serialized in Japanese magazines (Justin Sevakis w/ ANN, 2018)

There was a huge boom in extreme/grimdark themes and tropes in 90s American comics

Spider-Man antagonist Michael Morbius had a solo run starting in 1992

Thus, we can infer

Sanae, as an eccentric and a nerd, has probably read some American comics

Sanae would have been reading comics from the Big 2

Sanae, who read magazines in the 90s, could have read those comics in the 90s (if not through magazines, then through collected editions)

Sanae would probably lean more into Marvel, as Marvel is heavy on sci-fi elements

Sanae would be in the middle of the era of 90s grimdark

Leaning more Marvel, Sanae would definitely had read Spider-Man if she read western comics

What I'm saying is, there is a non-zero chance that Sanae Kochiya has read Morbius, The Living Vampire (1992). Now, her opinions of Morbius, at least in my opinion, depends on when she started reading/what issues she read, but that doesn't change the fact that the chance that she has knowledge of Morbius exists.
