So I’m caught up on Houseki no Kuni and.

Wow. That’s depressing.

There’s just this odd, really odd feeling about it, where everyone (or almost everyone) else has gotten a happy ending, some sense of fulfillment or self-satisfaction. All except for Phos, who, while everyone else is living it up on the moon, is abandoned on Earth completely alone as they are formed into a godlike being capable of praying for them all to pass on after 10,000 years.

I want to be happy for Cinnabar. For Cairngorm/Welegat. For every Gem and the Lunarians and Kongo. No one is fighting or killing anymore and we even managed to get back Antarcticticite who I thought for sure would simply remain the one haunting the narrative.

Everyone, everyone got to have a happy ending. Except for Phos.

They never asked for this. They wanted to be part of their community, they wanted to *belong*. And it’s so sad cause at the start, everyone is looking down on them and calling them useless because they are two weak and not showing any kind of talent for a job and Kongo-Sensei suggests they comprise an encyclopedia. Which would hav been fine, but never lay out any groundwork of where to even start and that’s just…”I want you to take notes about literally everything in the world,” is such a broad and vague statement and it might be that Kongo isn’t designed to lead or give orders but their instructions always felt so vague it’s like it was doomed to fail and Phos would want to do something else.

But now it’s…Kongo was in on it? He was also planning to shape Phos into a god? Is that what I’m understanding?

And it’s such bullshit, because Phos receives these very skewed memories of everyone hating them and looking down on them and honestly with the latest volume they turned out to be right. No one respected Phos or cared for them truly, until it granted them a happy life which they were perfectly fine screwing Phos over to obtain.

Cinna at least feels some remorse for it. They are the closest to actually seeming remorseful, because they know Phos ended up alone at the expense of everyone else’s happiness and now Cinna no longer worries about mercury or their weakness after becoming a Lunarian and they know deep down they owe it to Phos, they owe it to them in a way Phos never truly asked for and Cinna is the only one still thinking about Phos years later while everyone else is too busy partying.

Their “use” came about in being isolated, in repeatedly breaking and changing themself into something unrecognizable, smashed apart and pieced back together again, suffering endlessly and becoming abandoned all in the name of being a designated means to everyone else’s end to achieve peace and happiness and eventual rest from eternal life.

I don’t blame them for wanting to just throw everyone into the sun.

So I may have binged the entirety of the Houseki no Kuni manga. Anyways, have some memes I made:

And a non-inverse colour version of the second meme:

#houseki no kuni #land of the lustrous #a lot of manga panels are more meme-able then we first think #houseki no shitpost #houseki no kuni was a car crash #followed by a pile-up. then an airplane crash. which hit a neuclear power plant #and I think I loved every second of it #I need to put phos in a box and shake them around- then sit them down near a fireplace with a warm blanket and a mug of hot cocoa #the ship of Theseus is strong with this one #anyways Joob ramblin tags again #Houseki no Kuni is 105 chapters not for the weak willed or of poor horror-tolerance #you will question the human condition

accidentally invented a new form of no bedtime called 11pm glass of emergency-c + 4pm latte + 8pm cup of black tea + 9pm cup of black tea

#the real question is can i go to church on less than 5 hours of sleep and still function lol #i unlocked my instagram bc church wouldn't stop tagging me to direct people to me for stuff but that meant i had to delete a bunch of pho #tos AND rewrite a bunch of captions for photos i didn't WANT to delete bc i was too mean to random sharks prospects #which is fine if it is u know the anonymity of tumblr but not public instagram where my church won't stop FULL NAMING AND TAGGING ME #''anonymity of tumblr'' i doxx myself on here like 80 times a day in front of more people than i went to college with #anyway my point is i was going through deleting all evidence of politics pens fandom and legal documents and i was like damn #my attitude towards my team SUCKS. i gotta be way less of a hater!!! #what did my prospects ever do wrong besides everything NOTHING. the system is BROKEN. i am sorry i will be so much nicer guys :( #also if u really want to be humbled. scrolling back to 2012 on your instagram and re-experiencing senior year of college. BAD #i've deleted i think everything that would reasonably get our nonprofit status pulled but what a horrific journey it was #two full hockey intermission periods of deleting shit plus another hour at home doing several more passes and then rewriting captions #so that some poor 21 year old prospect randomly searching their name doesn't see me full ass call their teammate cringe #their teammate IS cringe. but i love him. but the nuances are lost on instagram people don't understand these things they take everything #at face value #don't know why i just assigned shakir mukhamadullin they/them pronouns #i think i need to go lie in bed with a blanket over my head until i suffocate #this ALWAYS happens i get too hype about mackenzie blackwood and start listening to selena gomez and then it's like almost 3am and i'm just #fresno oilers.txt #oh and. a friend sent me screenshots of the girl she's been flirting with on a dating app and they are SOOOOO cute #i hope they make a good run of it i really do bc it was SO cute. living vicariously through episcopalian lesbians as one does #but then i was trying to figure out how to edit my dating app profile to dissuade chasers but still honeytrap guys who are tall enough #or athletic enough to pick the tangerines at the top of the tangerine tree. bc i couldn't reach this week #but there were still like god maybe 150 tangerines on the tree. i was like this could be feeding people but i'm TOO SHORT #and my life will be like this. FOREVER #icb the future of this garden is so psychologically burdensome that i'm having to build it into a dating app profile lol #well now that i'd treated this entire tag set as twitter for and hour and a half #time to go try to lie in bed and stare at the ceiling and then wake up in [checks notes] four hours

[cyancherub]

forgot my fucking spork in the car now im using the butts of two erasable highlighters as chopsticks

#talky cherub #my poor pho

[girakia]

Do you guys genuinely think we're gonna get 108 chapters of hnk?

#houseki no kuni #land of the lustrous #Like #I like what's happening to phos rn #but what else is there to say #and the next tag may be my poor reading comprehesion #what else is there to make them suffer #about what would they grieve #pebble slice of life after the heat death of the universe is cute but #WHY ARE YOU DRAGGING THIS?

[yepiamthesmileyface]

I'm not gonna add it to the post bc it's not really about that but. people deriding others for not boycotting McDonalds by saying "go to a local restaurant"... how much money do you think I have??? you think I'm spending $50+ on a meal for two at mcdicks??? I paid over twenty dollars for a single bowl of pho from a local place, and that's the cheap one. go to a local restaurant???

preemptive edit: this is not saying you shouldn't boycott mcds. any support we can muster for Palestine, even just boycotting McDonald's, is more important. I'm just incredulous at the idea that going to a local restaurant is a 1:1 substitute for the trademark cheap fast food.

#its good pho dgmw & i like supporting local places but burger king is like $17 for some small burgers and nothing else man #smiley soliloquy #just to be clear: i think the boycott on mcds is good. but some of you have never talked to a poor person Ever. #and baby it SHOWS

#holy shit i watched a video on hnk and PHOS YOU POOR FUCKING CHILD WHAT THE FUCK #JESUS!!!! YOU POOR KID!!!! #and like goddamn i know JUST enough about csm to know denji is in for a bad time #i read vol 1 of csm and makima's vibes were rancid as fuck and i Knew her game immediately and like #everything i am finding out cements that knowledge and just makes me go 'no i do not want to see denji suffer like that im good' #FANS OF CSM AND HNK GIVE THOSE CHILDREN HUGS FOR ME PLEASE #and give power a smooch on the forehead she's precious
