While the link between Hestia and Demeter is immediately obvious, that between Hestia and Hermes may seem surprising at first. What they share is a role as intermediaries. The smoke from the hearth’s altar, where the sacrifices burn, provides, like Hermes, a means of communication between the realm of mortals and Olympus.

20 years ago, on this day the first volume of Durarara!! (デュラララ!!) was released in Japan. This volume contains the Dollars/Mika Harima arc, which is the start and readers' first meeting with such a well written plot, complex characters and artsy language.
Happy 20th anniversary to Durarara!! It will be forever my favorite media; no book, anime or manga can come close to the place that Durarara!! has in my heart. It will remain as a unique and one of a kind work, not only to me but to many other readers as well.

minidura chapter 1 react
hey guys started reading minidura i think im in love
just imagining izaya going like "yahoo!! X3" man. i know mikado is the real protagonist and not being able to see through izaya's eyes adds to his charm and intrigue but like mannn itd be so fun to just watch him fuck shit up like in that one episode. he must be hilarious to people watch with
god they're so fucking cute i love this chibi style
IT'S HIMMM IT'S MY BABYGIRL
"he's the one who most fails to live up to his name"? is that like a kanji name joke goddammit
i really shouldnt just like. post the entire pages but it's such a pain to keep taking screenshots :sob: you guys have no idea the pain my wrists were in after that drr ten react
haha dramatic irony but i just realized i have no idea what exactly izaya takes responsibility for and what stuff he blames on human nature/self-interest/naïvite and now i have to find out ugh
durarara illustrators draw simon normally challenge :sob: im so sorry they do this to you king if i ever get around to drawing you ill do you justice
also tiny shizuo <3333
obsessed with walker's cat face he and erika are so platonic(?) soulmates besties cringefail weeb team rocket ass duo
i was 100% ready for erika to start grilling mikado on his supposed raging homosexual unrequited love(?) 300k slow burn romance but oh well. it happened in my head so it must be canon
i dont care enough about the raira trio to ship mikakida or whatever their ship name is (isnt the celty head girl named mika too. oops) but i do think it's funny that their ship name could be kidado because that sounds like cuidado. watch out
ok i know they're trying to make him look cool but he does not look cool in the chibi art style lmfAOo
itd be really funny if they switched the styles to the normal manga style during serious moments like i think the bsd wan manga/anime did lmfao
LMFAO??? i like how we only see the top of izaya's head pff-
celty my bbygirl i love your shadow puppets dont listen to them
yk what it's actually a crime this didnt happen in canon
AND HERE HE ISSS!!!!! cringefail pathetic loser my beloved
god i hope he narrates the entire minidura (he probably wont)
ok he's really cute though....catboy irl fr
CAUGHT MID MONOLOGUE
cant believe they're both on a rooftop together whoa prime spot for confessions amirite (<- delusional)
im posting the tiny floored izaya on his own later because that's adorable. he's so cute when he's half dead
itd be really funny if all the events from minidura were all in izaya's concussed ass head from this moment as explanation for being noncanon
the "doctors hate him" meme but it's convenience store workers and shizuo heiwajima
actually construction workers probably hate shizuo too. and urban planners and anything that has to do with city work and also doctors because shizuo evades their healthcare insurance because he doesnt need it (i looked up japan's healthcare costs for this joke and concluded that i dont have enough time to pit the sources that say it's expensive and the sources that say it's reasonable against each other) and also vending machine companies
the "doctors hate him" meme but it's all of ikebukuro and shizuo (and also izaya)
i love how izaya just. stops bleeding. his platelets working mad crazy
(it's pretty easy to find translations online but here's the site im reading on anyway)

Black sisterhood looks so beautiful on our Jan\Feb cover stars Erika Alexander, Tracee Ellis Ross and Issa Rae. From the breakdowns to the breakthroughs in Black Hollywood, these three actresses have used their talents to fuel us. There was something so special about ‘Living Single,’ ’Girlfriends’ and ‘Insecure.’ They were the master class; a love letter, if you will. Maxine, Joan and Issa have grown into Coraline, Lisa and Sintara. We can’t wait to watch these ladies own the big screen in ‘American Fiction,’ out now in select theaters.

No divinity in the Greek pantheon radiated as much warmth as Hestia. She was the divine personification of the domestic hearth. She was not just the fire; she embodied the entire household revolving around it. She represented the center for human communities both large and small—communities of families, villages, and cities. Since such associations flourish only when their members are in harmony, Hestia was the goddess who always avoided strife, in contrast to a goddess like Hera. No one understood this better than the Athenians. They set up statues of Hestia and Eirene, goddess of peace, next to their civic hearth inside the Prytaneion in the Agora.

Hey....How Are you?
My god, y'all. This show is everything. When I fall in love with shows, I rewatch them over and over again. Usually, at some point, I stop enjoying them as much. I will just watch my favorite parts, and then eventually I just stop rewatching all together (at least for quite a while). Every time I watch this show, I am so enthralled, I never skip anything (with the exception of 2 scenes for OCD reasons). This show gives me such a butterflies in the stomach, sparkly, fire-y feeling and IT DOES NOT GO AWAY.
I have watched it so many times, I've lost count.... and yet, still sparkly, still fire-y. The butterflies are still there, and it just gets better every time. With every rewatch, I seem to notice more details, and fall further in love (as if that were possible!). It is a true masterpiece, and my obsession has gone completely rampant.
I have decided that I needed a dedicated place for all the YR posts I love, and want to go back to. I also decided I want to put my thought out here, while I anxiously await November. I plan to write my thoughts as I rewatch it. It will probably be a bit of analysis, some random things I've noticed, and some hopes/fears for and thoughts about Season 2 (I'll tag with spoilers, just in case). And of course, I will be reblogging a ton of the fantastic content this fandom is creating!!
Tag Along If You Dare 😉👑🫀🎶
