#but that’s a different series ofc

[blaithnne]

I know they’re not really apart of the show but could you do Scrooge’s sisters Hortense and Matilda? I love them too much

You’re in luck anon, these two were next on my list! Castle McDuff grants immortality to those who reside in its walls, keeping them at a set age. However, these two don’t live there full time. Tilly stays alive because she constantly alternates between living there and not, and Hortense has her own methods of avoiding aging. As a result, all three McDuff siblings have quite varying physical ages, Scrooge appears to be a surpassingly spry eighty something year old, Matilda looks to be in her early sixties, and Hortense in her late forties to mid fifties.

Meet the Cast!

In your “Kaufmo didn’t get abstracted” au, Did someone else get abstracted when Pomni arrived or is everyone from the pilot still fine?

Everyone's still fine so far

#i imagine it'd go like the pilot. just with some small changes #like the biggest one being that kaufmo's there #and the gloink thing gets played off differently ofc #but there's still talks of abstracting and how there's no exit #maybe someone just tells the tale of someone getting abstracted instead #and maybe we see the concept itself in the series #answer #tadc

Y'all are TRULY sleeping on Hyacinth by S.M. LaViolette. Like, I really enjoyed Phoebe (first book in the series), but Hyacinth is on another level. It features:

--a scarred libertine duke

--a neurodivergent heroine (23 to his 36) who happens to be KILLER at playing cards (in part because she's counting them) and sneaks out at night to play them while dressed as a very awkward young man

--a very casual interest in kink from her that makes him (a kinky man) go "O_O"

--a shockingly fabulous scene in which he tries to get her to admit she's a girl by taking her to a brothel, making her watch two people fuck while sitting beside him, and rattling off like 75 slang phrases for "jerking it" before being like "there's nothing WRONG with it bOY MEN MASTURBATE IN FRONT OF EACH OTHER ALLLL THE TIME" and starting to pull his dick out

--her: "AHHHH NO--YES? NO!"

--RIDING CROPS!

--so MUCH begging from this man, SO. MUCH. BEGGING.

--they're switches, your honor

--squirmy carriage BJs

#i think reading this close to phoebe has also given me some personal insight about my reading habits #and don't get me wrong i wholeheartedly approve of phoebe it's a 4.25/5 and it's so fun #but to get a book into what is feeling like unless something goes wrong in the homestretch 4.5-5 range #at least with historicals... i need a hook beyond a well-written virgin/marriage of convenience book #unless ofc it's truly exceptional (see: devil in winter) i want to see like... SOMETHING happening that gives it a distinct feeling #(i think is probs why that first elisa braden series while fun w some truly standout entriesgot tedious after a point for me #bc it was like... all virgin marriage of convenience books with different spins) #the detail and thought that went into how she wrote hyacinth and its plot is so good to me #romance novel blogging #anyway this is a delightful book would recommend

[ccarrot]

bsd manages to do cool storylines but never quite as cool as you anticipate. when i heard there was an arc called 'cannibalism' i was over here thinking the ADA had to fight some kind of zombie infestation or smthn. well we got the vampire arc i guess?

#sometimes i think about what i thought the series was gonna be back when i first got into it and it's very different #like. i didn't realize that the port mafia was gonna be a Thing. ofc we needed villains b u t i d i d n ' t k n o w ok #i lowkey sorta shipped atsushi and dazai when i first started reading. also thought that i'd be a kndz-er but no didn't work out #i knew chuuya existed/ had history with dazai. but i didn't know what so i thought he was gonna be some ex-ada member who had a falling out #i thought dazai would be my favorite like everyone else but nah. he was always kinda just okay for me until i started bcoming a chuuya no.1 #i also was expecting yosano to like. Do More. #expectations vs reality is so interesting with bsd.

movie touga makes me so beyond insane. the way he got to inhabit the role of the doomed prince exactly like dios did in the series and died in the same senseless sacrificial way while someone he loved begged him to save himself. the way he suffered and suffered and was so brutalized and still somehow stayed gentle enough to drown for a girl he didnt even know. a version of touga that held onto his kindness and nobility and never turned bitter and hard in order to survive. so he died.

#🙈 #utena #touga kiryuu #worst boy on campus #theres ofc more to say here about how he stayed trapped in this stupid gendered dichotomy btwn dominator (destroys) / prince (is destroyed) #but personally i do read the film as related to the series canon and like. imo this is who series touga wanted to be ultimately #he wanted to suffer the same agonies and then be utena's hero and die stupid and tragic and loved #he wanted to hold her in the chapel and tell her how much he cared instead of walking away completely unable to comfort her #but series touga just couldn't be that person. his life already happened a different way #he didnt want to survive. deep down he just wanted to be good and die. LIKE A MORON #i just. GOD. IT'S SO STUPID. BUT I LOVE HIM SO MUCH #fucking idiot who lacks the imagination to conceptualize himself surviving outside of patriarchal norms so he just wants to die for a woman!

So, he has a new series out so I was reminded of my obsession with Ding Yuxi again and in watching some YT video about the new series I was again struck by how fascinating it is to me how different his looks can be. For example, when I watched the first series with him in the main role (The Romance of Tiger and Rose; which yes, I'll readily admit, I agreed to watch in a large part because I saw him on the poster and was like, well, I wouldn't mind seeing more of this 😏), there were two ~versions of him – in the historical and the modern setting:

And like yeah they all wear those wigs in historical dramas so that's not particularly remarkable, right. Little did I know that this was just a tiny tip of the iceberg

Because then when I went to look him up afterwards on YT etc. and the first pictures I saw were these:

about which I was at first like, is that even him? Like the face is just ... not the same in these? But ok, what do I know, anyway ... And then I watched an interview where he has yet another different look, and that seemed kind of in between, so that "bridged the gap" in a way. And then! – in that same interview – they juxtaposed him with another of his earlier looks:

and it's like, who tf is this person ?

It's just, idk, really amazing how much just different hairstyles, lighting, makeup, accessories will do. Obsessed

Other interview looks are nothing extreme

And obviously there's supposed to be more variety when looking at the different roles

But still, sometimes I'm just like, this is one person .....

And like, sure, these looks obviously aren't impossibly different, but comparing the different ends of the spectrum can be pretty wild

In any case, the one that brought all of this about was this latest one:

and idk at this point I shouldn't be surprised anymore. And yet ...

Anyway, I do actually love his acting too lmao

It really is ... delectable 😌

#his gay little mannerisms #(they're not actually gay but i choose to see them that way 😌) #sometimes he'll just move his hands a certain way or tilt his head or pull an expression or do smth with his eyes or ... #and i'll be there all hnnnnnnhg 🫦 #in the new series apparently he's a part-cat detective #looking forward to the physicality of that already 😌 #i really have never before been this fascinated by how different someone can look #like i would say it's just me but honestly i don't think it is #bc most people usually don't change their hair quite that much! for one thing #but ofc with a face like that you can do whatever and it'll look good #anyway sorry for this long post #there are so many more good pics! and i only included one heavily lesbian-coded one smh there are more #so yeah just ... allow me to not be normal abt him for a sec #and this is it i've gotten it out of my system for a while at least #j #dyx #ding yuxi #eta: i did start watching the series and the physicality *is* 😙👌 #i could just watch him forever #like 🕵️

finally found a place to read With the Light online and i'm thrilled; if you haven't read this manga i do Legitimately recommend it

#N posts stuff #like don't get it wrong it Is Not a series about being autistic it Is a series about raising an autistic kid #but also don't be put off by that because it's legitimately a series that I feel Loves autistic people with its whole being #it's kind of a teaching manga so it showcases a lot of different opinions/characters/conflicts/etc. but the Framing is very consistent #in that the manga is Extremely of the opinion that autistic people are People who deserve to be Valued and Accepted As They Are #the onus for change is never put on autistic individuals the framing is basically Universal in the 'the World needs to change #to be more accepting' -- it's a very Social Model depiction of autism that ALSO never veers too far into the #'autism isn't even Really a disability' fallacy; it's very much a 'A lot of autistic people will need constant support in a variety of ways #throughout their lives but that isn't the roadblock preventing them from having their own lives; ableism in society is the roadblock' #the first two chapters are the hardest to get through bc they take place before Sachiko has any real understanding of autism and #so she's isolated and stressed out and the ignorance makes it difficult for her to care for Hikaru properly (there's also a lot of #other characters Blaming her for what's going on which goes unchallenged at this point though that changes later); but after she #understands what autism is she's Firmly in Hikaru's corner for the rest of the series - you can skip right to ch 3 without a problem #if you're not interested in reading about that initial conflict #there's still a Lot of conflict ofc but by then the chapters have some of my favorite moments so i don't want to advocate skipping #them; like Hikaru's daycare teacher explaining how Hikaru's difficulty speaking is the same as other kids' troubles with #things like jump-roping/etc.; and then a mother who has An Issue with Hikaru's presence in her daughter's class realizing the #depth of the problematic opinion bc Her mother (who had a stroke) faces similar ableism from her peers #i'm cutting this post off b4 the tags get Too long but if you're curious but still hesitant man. send me an ask and i will Happily #write an insanely long essay about how much i love this series; i have all the books i'm not excited about the online availability #for Me i'm excited bc i've been wanting to rec this manga for like almost a full decade and i can finally give you a link instead of #saying 'well. you can find used copies sometimes' lol

[oliviaischillin1204]

do i have to do everything my FUCKING self around here

#there are ofc a couple dozen tfics based on the manga/anime #but those are a bit hit or miss #both in quality and bc i only know the live action series so the vibes are different #my posts #if ur wondering where my brain is at rn. it is here #op tickling

[ikuhara]

STILL CANNOT BELIEVE OFF SEASON AND MONSTER SEASON ANIME IS REAL

#how can i possibly go to sleep now?! i'm too hyped up #the timing of this is crazy (or is making ME crazy) #i finished my rgu retwatch the other day and i've been thinking about it (especially mikamami ofc) nonstop since then #but with this announcement i will have to be equally rotating them both in my mind #in the end they really are my two favorite series of all time. they're the ones i go the most wild for #now they're both back in the forefront of my brain #the way it should be!!!!!!! #in the end rn its switching back and forth between thoughts about one gay mentally ill ghost boy (mikage) #to thoughts about a different gay mentally ill supernatural oddity (everyone in gatari)

[new-haven-psych-ward]

so I realized the main four geats riders could all be tracked to the four stages of grief and the lamentation arc went hard so:

#kamen rider geats #psych scribbles #yeah so originally i was just drawing everyone at their lowest moment #slash when the opposite (emotion-wise) of their wishes seemed to manifest #and then i realized it was all lamentation arc #which yknow tracks #could i have chosen a different keiwa death? #yeah but i never claimed to be smart and the bubbles are aesthetic #plus if i did his first elimination id want him in his rider suit and i wasnt gonna put myself through that #also i originally had michinaga post-fight with the producer #but then i realized a) the piece was mid #and b) everything else was from lamentation arc so might as well try for cohesion #technically i couldve drawn him with jyamato!toru #but tbh the man's been through worse? #like michinaga's breaking point was pre-series that's why he's making Choices rn #also yes ofc i wrote out all of ace's wishes and then corrupted them to the point their illegible #why would i do anything else #anyways this interestingly means everyone is suffering while buffa is thriving so there's that

[chaossmith2]

I know some of you think I’m probably being too hard on the prospects of getting a Treasure Planet sequel, and ur probably right tbh

BUT given Disney’s track record with sequels in the past, the fact R&J wouldn’t have a hand in it (even back then), and the excessive amount of corporate meddling and script/story troubles in even their most RECENT sequels (i.e. Frozen 2 and Ralph Breaks the Internet)—

I don’t think my worries of Treasure Planet 2 being, not just mediocre, but Bad™️ are entirely unwarranted

Not after all this time anyways, where expectations have risen to an outrageously astronomical degree (no pun intended) that I’m almost certain no matter what kind of quality/state TP2 releases in, it will not have justified the wait and we’re going to be disappointed either way.

#imo ofc #no h8 or judgement towards anyone who do infact still wanna see TP2 made #y’all are valid as hell #Kate stans my beloved #but yeah this is why I think if Disney is to ever touch TP again #they need to just do something completely different #cos obv I’m rooting for an anthology series the most #chaos chats

Six Years Later

It was like I could only really rest my eyes while looking at the sea. Scattered clouds, such heavenly bodies on a sunny day.

I relaxed my back against his torso and felt him radiate happiness. Comfort bloomed in my chest when Pedro softly planted a kiss on the back of my hand for no particular reason and held my gaze with a loving smile. Looking into these warm, coffee-brewed eyes, I realised nothing had changed. More greys in his hair and beard and lines upon his face perhaps, just like myself. He was still the man I fell in love with all these years ago and I loved him like it was the first day. I'd love him even more by tomorrow. What an uplifting and kind thought.

We didn't speak, for what could we say, my dearest one, other than let's do it all again by tomorrow?

Pedro's other hand, the one still adorning his bracelet, was currently resting on my heavy baby bump and I sighed, content with sinking back further into him as we sat among the sandy dunes of Montauk Beach. Bringing cheesecake and collecting sea glass had become a family tradition. I could almost picture us as phantoms of our past that skipped across the sand.

It had been six years since that summer day and so much had happened. Five since I started therapy and we moved in together, four since I released my second album and people began to film a documentary about me. Three since we had our shotgun wedding and our first child was born. Two since Pedro won an Oscar for his debut movie he wrote and directed. The world was proud of this angel.

Little Pedro from Santiago de Chile had dreamt of everything his hard work and kindness had brought him today. Little Nini from a small Dutch fisher town found more peace, love and freedom than she could have ever imagined. They had a family now and a home behind a gate with pink roses and friends visiting every day.

We'd been taking this last year off to focus on our family, healing from the losses and working through the changes life provided. Our second child was due in about three months. Oh, and how eager we were to meet them too. My hand joined his larger one, hoping our unborn baby felt our love.

We had everything we could have ever wished for. Children playing, parents waving.

Every time I watched our toddler play with my little sister, mops of blonde and dark hair whipping through the wind, I felt my heart warm at the thought of seeing our family grow. The children's far away cry of joy while running along the wet sand with the dog, the crashing of waves hitting the shore. The duo was picking up shells and stones off the sand, chasing one another with high laughter ringing through the wind.

On the far end of the beach stood a lighthouse in front of the ocean, I felt we were just as unlimited.

My husband pressed a kiss onto the top of my head and I felt a smile curling there when he felt the baby kicking beneath his broad palm. Pedro chuckled every time they did that, excited to meet the little miracle growing beneath my heart. He was a good father, to our babies as well as my little sister, whom he treated like his own ever since Fee came back into my life.

I simply knew I could bear anything with him in my heart. A smile played upon my lips and I closed my eyes into the ever-changing sunlight. Pedro softly breathed into the crook of my neck from behind, his chest rising as his lips rested there. It was okay to stop and breathe for a moment. I simply thought about all the people who loved Pedro into becoming the wonderful person he was today, knowing I owed them a world for it.

I wished nothing but light and love in his life, may everything good in this world come to Pedro. May he live happily ever after and continue helping so many people and improve so many lives just by being himself. I wished him sunny days and comfort when they'd grow cloudy. Sometimes and more than a thousand times I wished to be held by him forever.

I never grasped the feeling of a happy end until this very day, at a place right back where we started. At this moment, it made me feel like we had reached the final page of a book. Or the end credits of a movie, followed by the growing number of family pictures in our home. Our wedding, our family pictures next to a couple of trinkets. All of our beloved memories, from the decorated picture frame of our first date at Montauk Beach to our visit to Pedronie's communal gardens. These memories were captured in picture frames, one by one, a life lived.

The End

Thank you for reading.

Pedro and Nini will return for a second book, until then, loved having you here

This scene is really heartbreaking to me.

Gin is out here, in a graveyard of all places, at the brink of death. That's not the kind of place you happen to stop by to rest or catch your breath. Gintoki came here to die.

And yet, when opportunity arises, he clings to life. Despite his pain, despite his suffering, he chooses life.

And then he promises to stay by Otose's side as if she needed any protecting, as if she asked for help. When really, the only one dying, the only one in desperate need of help a little bit of warmth is no one but himself.

#gintama #rewatch #ep12 #this rewatch is really hitting me in the feels #it has been several years since I first watched Gintama and rewatching the entirety of it from the beginning hits differently now #ofc it's still silly and dumb and I'll laugh at Kagura knocking out Shinpachi with a bowl of rice because he won't shut up #but with context of the rest of the series #some scenes break me

[keepthetension]

been in the Bad Brain place lately, so i've been struggling to finish writing about why chef mhon's character makes sense to me, because of

a) the long-term effects of the WORLD SHAKING trauma of your life partner abandoning you AND of being unable to feed yourself and your children b) being unable to process said trauma much (if at all), as you then hit the ground running to make a living in the aftermath (in a new city with no support and with who knows what marketable skills) c) the stigma of being a divorced woman in a society that will blame you for being the reason your marriage failed in the first place, and will also blame you for any way your children step out of line d) the difficulties of achieving success as a working mother when employers see women as flakier, less-worthy hires, especially in a male-dominated industry

and how no amount of money or stability will ever seem like enough, and how difficult it is to trust anyone plus how easy it is to see everything as a potential danger to the stability you fought tooth and nail for, and how it makes sense for a traumatized person who never had the time and support to work through their trauma to project all kinds of things onto their kids

but apparently she just kinda. walked it off?

#last twilight the series #not trying to say that the way she treats her sons is justified because she's traumatized! #just felt that these aspects of her life were missing from the general discussion about her behavior #and like i WAS kinda disappointed mhok's trauma never came up again so i guess i should be glad that was foregrounded this ep instead #and i didn't think she'd like FORBID forbid day from seeing mhok given her relative chill at seeing them together at the end of ep 10 #just like. would've been nice to get a bit more of the journey she went on #ANYWAY there's no need for me to finish the long-ass post i was writing! so here's a basic summary instead! #again i am NOT saying she gets a free pass because trauma #just fascinating that there's sympathy for some kinds of trauma but not others. and some expressions of pain and trauma but not others #and i get it! she's not just making decisions for herself so ofc the audience reaction will be different! #but i feel like this show is about grief and trauma and support and recovery #and chef mhon is an excellent example of what happens when you DON'T have the support you need for recovery #and your trauma and pain bleed out of you in ungentle ugly ways #(i suppose the other example is rung though that is a COMPLEX situation that is NOT simply about lack of support)

[the-hilda-librarians-wife]

I've come to the conclusion that when it comes to new characters I have the same attitude as a poorly socialized dog. I swear every time new content comes around and we get the news of new characters my instant reaction is to just. Dislike them. Hope they have little to no importance in the plot. Even when the design looks nice and the characters seem interesting. They're taking screen time away from my faves and my heart tells me to Bite

#this isnt even about the Thing. Its about Astrid #that cool and interesting looking old lady #(im assuming thats her name its what ive seen people use) #Im pretty sure there's something ot be said about my autism here #i dont want things to change. I dont want to risk the show taking a turn for the worse and becoming Insane #if it were up to me #s2 would have just been a reprise of s2 while focusing on different things #and s3 would be a reprise of s2 #which means ofc that the show wouldn't be nearly as compelling as it is. that' why i trust the writers #but at the same time I HAAAAAATE CHANGE #I think the longer hiatuses contribute to this. I am given time to adjust to what can be considered canon and then BOOM #rug pulled from under me with only like 2 months of antecedence. #and I have to be prepared to let go of my headcanons and my current views of this world and its characters #and to accept that these new faces they're throwing at us will be just as important as the ones I already know and love #like I WANT to be spoiler free but at the same time I gotta prepare myself for what's coming #bc otherwise I'm gonna get the air knoked out of me fr #cons of letting a show take over 60% of your brain #turns to the other 40%: at least I've got you. you'll never change or abandon me #*the Cells look at me uninpressed and tell me to get a job* #hilda the series #hilda s3
