#just hit me like a sack of bricks

Since I posted some of my old fanart yesterday... if you're not familiar with Slayers, and thus have never heard its amazing music, do check it out. It's largely by the same songwriter, Masami Okui, that did Utena's iconic opening (Rinbu Revolution) and ofc (TRUTH) and sung by a duo of her and Hayashibara Megumi (you know, the GOAT)

The entire OST pretty much slaps. there's only a couple of bad image songs in an absolute expanse of pure gold. GIVE A REASON, the opening to the second season, tends to be the reigning favorite. (I've a hard time pinning down my absolute favorite... of the original openings, it might be Breeze, but all three are so good. Of the entire catalog? Impossible to choose. Midnight Blue, Raging Waves, Within my Unlimited Desires, Gloria, Get Along... Impossible Choice)

#slayers #the slayers #music #anime #90s anime #Gourry's image song So In the World is like the cutest thing too #the series itself is a deep lore D&D parody swords and sorcery action/adventure series #very firmly a dramedy but when it decides to be serious it goes hard #it very rarely decides to be serious so it's always kind of a thrill when it does lol #but this post is about its soundtrack #namely its vocal songs #and as I said they slap a ridiculous amount #so here #Youtube #what if I go back and put Get Along in here too because I love it so much #I love any version that leaves lina's ramble in at the start #and the lyrics of I WANT THIS I WANT THAT... IT'S JUST HOW GIRLS ARE (showing lina blowing up shit lmao) #Hold on the memories of riding with my granddaddy to the big city next to us #so I could go to suncoast and get the new vhs release of NEXT when it was first being published in the US #just hit me like a sack of bricks #that's a good memory...

it's actually so incredibly homophobic of the universe that my love language is physical touch and half of my friends live oceans and countries and expensive plane trips away where I can't give them cuddles.

#actually crying a little no one look at me #this is why i cant call people more often #i talk to chewby on the phone and the 'oh i need to give this person a hug' hits me like a sack of bricks #its not even funny #i just want to be held #online friends #platonic affection #platonic cuddles #platonic love #just saying words

Suddenly smacked in the face by the implication of Romeo's message where he says "I remember you, so there's no reason for us to fight. I suppose."

I always thought the wording was weird, but didn't think too much on it... Until recently after we discussed some datamined stuff in the Carmeo/Promeo server. There's a scrapped line (where P was supposed to speak) that says "I may not remember, but I'm still your son" during the NP fight, and while the scrapped lines are their own can of worms, let's focus on the memory parts.

I had always thought that once a puppet woke up, they would just get their memories back. But the fact seems to be this: There are select memories that come back to give bits and pieces of their past that "wake" them up-- cause them to change, as we see with P and the necklace; As we see from the spliced memories at the Black Seaside. However, it might not be all one's memories that come back. Whether those spaces stay blank or come back over time, who knows.

What I'm trying to get at here is...

Romeo's memories might only consist of Carlo at the time of waking. Carlo was what woke Romeo-- "I remember you"-- He had the necklace, he knew from who it was; He recognized the face P was modeled after. "So there's no reason for us to fight, I suppose"-- there's a lack of confidence in the wording here. Friends aren't supposed to fight, right? That's what his memory tells him, at least.

And the only memories P tends to get in regards to his past? Those in relation to Romeo, his aspirations, and of his own death. Seemingly, these are the things most important to him.

They were the most important people to each other; They remembered each other, just one too late than the other.

#Lies of P #Lies of P Spoilers #The “I may not remember” part hit me like a sack of BRICKS before I went to bed and I was like #“Oh shit oh fuck oh shit wait what oh sHIT--” fhsddfd I was way too invested in everything else at the time #and then that hit me. And then Romeo's message hit me. And the necklace flavor text and his ergo flavor text. #And I just went-- “Does Romeo... JUST remember things relating to Carlo?... Would he.. not remember other specific stuff?” #And it all crashed down on me and I suddenly had to draft the thought real quick on my phone before sleeping on it adhdfs #But wow. Yeah. I. It makes sense?? Like... maybe they don't remember everything at all just bits and pieces. Or maybe they do with time. #Both paths are good and interesting tbh I should...incorporate that in my stuff~ mmmMMMMMMM VERY COOL TO THINK ABOUT #and painful. So and so painful uGH I LOVE THEM

It is A Watcher Prisoner Designed to follow orders Will comply Will comply It is Sarcastic Overwhelmed Just following orders When it is reconditioned All this will go away

And it doesn’t want to forget It doesn’t want to forget It doesn’t want to lose this It doesn’t want to forget

It knows this Pearl lady hates it It thinks this Mumbo’s a friend It suspects BigB thinks something’s off They all think it killed Grian

It knows the Watchers will find it It knows they’ll make it turn It doesn’t want to be reconditioned Why does its heart burn?

It is A weapon A Watcher Blade-Three Designed to follow orders Will comply Will comply It is Expendable Stolen Just following orders Will comply Will comply

It is A Watcher Prisoner Blade-Three Designed to follow orders Will comply Will comply It is Stolen Overwhelmed Just following orders It wants to stay broken It hears someone say “Grian?” Now nothing is the same

Now they all look at it different They all think it’s their old friend They are determined to make it into Something it is not

How mad do you think Hexiciah would be if he found out that his daughter got destroyed on school property and disappeared and Bloodgood seemingly never bothered to try and find her?

#monster high #robecca steam #headless headmistress bloodgood #hexiciah steam #this thought just hit me like a sack of bricks #im sure if this was ever addressed in the series this wouldnt be what happened #but the fact that the blanks aren't really filled in... #bloodgood really is a terrible headmistress ashakbshka #like girl...thats your man's kid #i bet shit was so awkward when robecca came back to life #bloodgood probably avoided her like the plague

My actual therapist: trauma and stress can affect the body negatively, and that is likely worsening your pain, but that does not mean there are no physical health issues involved. You know your body and if you think something is wrong, I believe you.

Doctor: I don’t feel like looking further into the source of your constant suffering, so I’ve decided that you don’t have any physical issues and it’s probably because you get sad a lot. Go for more walks.

#that hit me like a sack of bricks bc previously she seemed very committed to helping me #then she just. decided there was nothing left to look into #seemingly out of nowhere #I was expecting the blood tests to be negative for everything but I wasn’t prepared for THAT bullshit

i still cant process this

#i keep reading the same thing every hour i keep saying death and dead and passed next to his name and its just not clicking in my head #i keep seeing* #i think im Trying to subconsciously cope with it in the most fucked up way which is to think that this is just some kind of sick joke #like it isnt at all but i just cant process that hes gone u know? #some other twisted part is thinking hes just somewhere else right now #idk how to explain #it felt bizarre to get thru the day cause id be staring at my feet suddenly think of him and wonder whose feet are these? #just straight up feel like nth has been real today. bizarre that i go on with my life and his ended last night #im so sorry to his family and friends and all who loved him dearly #just still not making sense to me but i KNOW when it does. when it finally does its gonna hit me hard like a sack of bricks #im just in a daze now

i  know  it's  probably  been  said  a  thousand  times  before,  but  i'm  very  soft  about  one  of  wanderer's  abilities  literally  being  to  pull  himself  out  of  a  free  fall.

I just had an idea.

What if centaurs had human dicks AND horse dicks.

The human dick could come out of a little pocket in the front of the horse part so they can have human mates.

No I won't be taking criticism tyvm

#everybody talks #tw teratophilia #don't mind me I saw a centaur drawing and it just hit me like a sack of bricks
