Crazy how in lego monkie kid blue has now come to mean death, chaos, and destruction while Sandy is still there. Like the number one Blue guy ™. And he’s the calmest member of the team who only shows his violent strength when pushed to the point of needing to use it, and even then he’s fully in control of it.
Really silly that pigsy also introduces him as a violent warrior that even he fears and would have preferred to have never contacted again. Someone that, before the group met him, meant death and destruction to pigsy.
Crazy that he was the only one to keep getting silver stars when under training in season four. Showing that he’s the perfect balance of grace and power. Showing that balance is possible if you want it and work for it.
So silly that his color pallet is his complementary color with orange, a color that’s been associated with Mk and Wukong, and blue.
Anyways that’s just something I noticed.

Something something Jesse’s first appearance in terms of release order was The Deserter and in that episode he takes command in Rex’s place cause Rex is injured and he’s trying to protect Rex in contrast to his final appearance, Victory and Death, where he once again takes command but this time it’s because Rex has been branded a traitor and he’s trying to kill him.
Furthermore, something something Jesse has armor markings in The Deserter but when he briefly cameos in Practice Makes Perfect his armor is completely white meaning he hasn’t painted it yet meaning the first chunk of that episode takes place before The Deserter and thus would be his first appearance in terms of timeline order. So his chronological first appearance has him shooting at Ahsoka for training purposes, again, in contrast to Victory and Death where he’s shooting at her for real.
So basically no matter which way you look at it his first appearance is a really fucked up parallel to his final appearance.

These are the ones I think about the most, in ways including but not limited to:
(major spoilers for the end of the series below)
Lymond as machine - so many characters see him that way, and at times it’s one of his priorities to appear and be that way, himself. From “it’s probably all done with wheels,” to many metaphors by Jerott, to everything in The Ringed Castle…
Words as weapons! And healing! - language as personal expression, as a mask and persona, as a coping mechanism… Insults, promises, names, weaponized information, the luggage of poetry, Richard talking to his brother about their past to bring him back to life!
Music! It’s so important to Lymond’s personal identity (privately and sometimes publicly), and it’s deeply tied to his emotions. He gives it up in every way that’s meaningful at the end of Queens’ Play, and, at the end of the story, the final scene is in the Somervilles’ music room.
“In fire is your friend; in flood is your foe; in powder is your release.” - it’s the Dame de Doubtance’s curse (?), and it’s the way so many characters, including Francis, die or nearly die. The series starts with our narwhal swimming into Edinburgh and then setting his home on fire, living a life that changed when the convent blew up. Fire resurrects him from his death in the river in Checkmate, he and Philippa have sex in a flood of water imagery, and another sister dies by powder. And SO much more. Aaaah!
Chess - literally, metaphorically, and especially its ties to power, agency, fate, and responsibility. Oh god, chess.

Okay, I just read Volume 20 of the manga and I have a lot of thoughts...but one that I really want to spit out is about Akutagawa's death.
During the fight, he CONTINUOUSLY brings up Dazai. How he wants Dazai's approval. How he's going to LIVE and make it back to Dazai. How he doesn't have much time left so he really needs that approval before he expires. Basically, him (ironically) associating living and Dazai together. To get Dazai's acknowledgement is to live.
And yet.
And YET.
His death wasn't an accident, at least not entirely.
Even Fukuchi acknowledged that from the beginning, taking into account the space-time sword, Akutagawa's plan was to let ONLY Atsushi escape.
Did Akutagawa know he would be instakilled? I think he strongly suspected it considering how Fukuchi was doing his best to kill them.
Essentially, what I'm saying is that provided all that context, Akutagawa basically CHOSE to die when throughout the whole fight his only thought was to live, live, live (for Dazai). The arc isn't over yet (and I honestly have little faith this will happen) but I'm gonna hope anyway that this is symbolic of Akutagawa finally letting go of his deep desire to live for Dazai's approval and maybe starting to build something new...a new reason to live?
As in, him choosing death - choosing ATSUSHI - was his way of saying, "Okay. I see only one of us can make it out...I can't fight this man and beat him (which he did say). I won't live for Dazai's approval now. I can't. So I'll instead choose to die so that there is a chance Atsushi can save the world and clear the Agency's name."
Basically, I'm playing on the age old death and rebirth motif to say Akutagawa dying for Atsushi rather than living for Dazai's approval is his way of growing from his past obsessions and perhaps beginning to build a new reason to live (by dying for it heh...).

STARTER CALL !! i want/need more threads but i hate writing starters so i’m gonna try and use the generator linked in this post as a basis for starters! they WILL be real starters and not just dialogue-only one-liners, i’m just using this to help myself along! feel free to ask for a specific muse (or type of muse, e.g; supernatural or not), otherwise i’ll just pick who fits the generated dialogue best without thinking too hard! hit that heart if you’re interested!

I think about that post thats like, 'the difference between romantic and friendship feelings is mostly intention' sometimes and while on some level I vibe with it completely I also dont think its actually true. Because I can clearly see other people having clear divisions that are not determined by a decision and rather determined by just Feelings. And I dont think im able to experience that line, whether its due to orientation or something else. Idk if im aro or not but for me that post is Absolutely true I could Easily fall "in love" with any of my friends but I wouldn't want to make them uncomfortable so instead im just vibing. But also I do see the many things that depict it as some extra mysterious Feeling rather than okay i choose You so I know my (+that posts op) experience isn't actually the norm
