i'm consistently impressed by the pacing of dungeon meshi (manga). each chapter feels so FULL. legit i'll read for a good long while and be like "aw man lemme check my progress" and i've only read like 2 or 3 chapters!

there's average 7-10 panels per page and about 20 pages to a chapter and it's just AMAZING, and that's not even getting into HOW ryoko kui writes or gives information. i could just go on about the artistry of it, mannnnn.

#dunmeshi #i'm literally only HALFWAY THRU THE MANGA #(i'm saving the anime for after bc i like this manga so much) #the manga of all mangas #talkies #i cannot recommend the manga enough #it's a masterpiece

Okay that’s chill that you think i’m Cool or whatever but Martyn literally said to Ren “No! I won't do it! You took me in when I was a lowly traveler, going across the lands searching the four corners of this world. I learned there was nothing in this world for me. Nothing but walls, corners, edges. And you know what? You showed me life. As much as I've taken it from you, you gave it back to me in bucket-fulls. And I just... I'm with you. This is us now. This is us.”

Hundreds of people have said it before me, but it's really so powerful Donna's first WILLING adventure with the Doctor is an insanely emotionally moving one with a very deep message that arose from her compassion (The Fires Of Pompeii)

Even if you don't know Catherine Tate is known for her wit and comedy, Donna herself is introduced as a very comical character. Her theme is comical, her actions and sass is meant to be read as comical and both Runaway Bride and Partners In Crime have a totally different narrative structure because of it. Like, both episodes having a lot of humour based around an unexpected scenario forcing both to improvise in funny and chaotic DIY ways.

When you first watch these two episodes you have no reason to believe their run together is going to be anything else! So it was such a brilliant decision to have the episode right after she joins the Doctor be one in which SHE'S pushing a moral dilemma onto the Doctor. To be all fun and games until she learns people are going to die and the Doctor plans to do nothing about it. To then also KEEP on pushing the subject DESPITE the Doctor, this alien she at this point still knows very little about, speaking about the world and time with a sense of authority like there Truly Really is nothing they could do.

The fact that the character who's introduced to us as the comic relief IMMEDIATELY turns around and tells the Doctor he's guilty of the death of a teenager and everyone around him if he refuses to help at all... That's such a powerful move.

#like showing empathy for someone who will die is something every companion would do. but Donna made it her whole business to tell the doctor #he is WRONG and rubbing it in so heavily as to why standing by would make him guilty... that is something few dare to do #no one tells donna noble what she can and cant do and what is and isnt right. shell always be the judge of that #donna noble #the doctor #tenth doctor #10th doctor #doctor who #doctor who analysis #analysis #episode analysis #the fires of pompeii #runaway bride #partners in crime #talkies

it's pretty implied that ellie never came out to joel in the proper sense. she lets him assume that she's into men, gives him the false satisfaction of "seeing" her "crush" on jesse, does not correct him. she's fairly confident in being gay in public for others to see and having others close to her know; so why not correct him? why dodge the topic?

was it out of fear? could it be that she never broached the topic despite being close to him in the early years because of the possibility of his reaction being negative? that she was afraid that out of all things that could force them apart (further apart after they split), him reacting badly to her being gay would be the worst?

what about at the dance? would she have been as wound up as she was if the moment hadn't been an encounter with a vicious homophobe? maybe she would've still snapped without this context, but why is she immediately on the defensive against joel after he sticks up for her?

what about the porch scene? why did she refute his question of dina being her girlfriend so insecurely, looking away, nervously and quietly stumbling over words? why isn't she mean about it? why doesn't she get defensive at the question? why did she lash out again when he expressed acceptance?

i think these scenes revolving around her queerness indicate it as such; that ellie never told joel for fear of a response, that she lets him think what he wants because that's the easiest way for it to be. then, when she's ready to face off against a homophobe, because that's the way things are, that's what she can expect, and joel defends her, she lashes out.

it's such a clear juxtaposition of support and hatred between joel and seth, and being faced with joel's acceptance is too much, makes her turn to the anger she'd been holding onto and reinforce what she thinks is true -- that she doesn't need him. and in the fallout, as her regret dawns on her, so too does the realization; he was protecting her, like always, without hesitation, over this thing she was always afraid he wouldn't accept her for.

in the porch scene, joel chooses his words wisely, and asks if dina is her girlfriend -- not "so you're gay?" or "why did you never tell me?" or "how long has this been a thing?" -- with such a casuality that it seems to throw her off. it's like ellie can hardly get the words out. she refutes the idea, fumbles for each following part of her response, is tense. she wasn't prepared for the question.

and when he finally asserts his support for her, in as explicit terms as he can, you can see ellie become emotional, touched for a moment but overcome, before she launches into the defensive again, exactly like at the dance scene -- meeting his kindness with hostility as a way to cope with her emotions.

and then, in response to her basically saying her life doesn't matter, he affirms that it does.

so he's now affirmed two things that ellie has doubted: that he accepts her being a lesbian, and that her life matters. a conflation of the two, in ellie's mind, may have come after; and after that, her olive branch.

and yeah, him affirming these things for her is fully in the context of his overwhelming parental love for her and her complex feelings about being the cure, but within a queer subtext, it means more. it's such a familiar thing to slink around loved ones and hide being gay/queer for fear of any type of response, and lying by omission in conversation just to keep that state of peace, of normalcy. ellie, with all her brutishness and bravery, falls into it like anyone else, because even while mad at him, she valued that response from him.

a lot of people seem to think that the approach to ellie's queerness is nonchalant, that it's just some unrelated thing about her, but i think that it holds more weight in the narrative that what is explicitly spelled out. it's subtle but it was a deliberate choice to place her queerness at the center of the confrontation. i think that's why ellie's relationship with dina took center stage in the story, and why so much time is devoted to just them -- because her being queer matters to her character, but in a way that perhaps only a queer person can see, analyze, and appreciate (without being blatant enough to anger certain other fans).

Okay hello all! Update time!

My dad has one final step of his treatment which is a bone marrow transplant. This process will remove the bone marrow from his body, blast the shit outta his remaining cells and hopefully kill the rest of his cancer.

The procedure will have my dad hospitalized for a month with a 24/7 caregiver (aka my mom lol) and afterwards he'll have to stay home for 3 months away from absolutely everyone in order to recover bc hell be severely immonocompromized and have to get all his vaccines all over again (like a big Ole adult baby)

this procedure is expensive and the cost of my parents living at the hospital so far is not at all covered - this money would go to paying bills, paying the hospital stay cost and procedure cost and paying for food and such as it'll just be me and my brother keeping the pets alive home alone

Thank you so much for your support!! sharing really helps <333

#talkies #personal tag #cancer #theyre gonna blast his ass with medicine #its a 1% chance of death which is small but still scary #but!!! were hoping very much itll work #please donate or just boost if possible #thank you <33 #donate #donations #charity #gofundme

martyn in secret life being the first one to loose a canon life drives me up the walls. what was he going to do? search the four corners of the world. how? by going to the nether. what did he find? absolutely nothing and died. we know from third life that:

“i was a lowly traveler, going across the lands searching the four corners of this world. i learned there was nothing in this world for me. nothing but walls, corners, edges. and you know what? you showed me life.”
