('The Beginning' initial rambling under 'read more') {Note: This is some of my reaction BEFORE Seeing} [So please note I Will Add Additional Contexts I got later but for the most part...]

THIS IS THE CLIP I was Referring to in advance {WARNING FOR} MAJOR RUI-INVOLVED The Beginning Spoilers (I was talking to a mutual who gave me a run-down review)

(If you can't tell, I was Venting at concepts like infertile parents being treated/handled as a potential) Negative

Further Reading: Koushiro's + Izumi Family's Timeline {Notes} in Hikarigaoka

*I mention something towards end but I was mis-remembering what it was called and it's more like 'premature birth' that leads to "early" death... {And yes we've even had this happen in my ancestors' pasts too, notably on my Grandpa-married-to-J E W I S H-grandma ends' end. Grandpa E.'s youngest sibling {not even a year old} passed that way, along with the child of a cousin + their fam much later on, and they (both) have dedicated spots in our familys' plot, also very near where my J e w i s h Grandma is now buried. ... So I Have Feelings on Such Issues, Too.}

Oh sweet! Looks like Trimax vol4's when Vash actually starts calling Meryl by name on a regular basis

As before--for context, he'd typically used the more distant, but still respectful 'insurance-san' to refer to the girls, but Trigun vol2 (right before Fifth Moon) was the first time he ever said her name so seriously, which was a very Big Deal to her, and their last exchange for 2 years.

That upon their hospital reunion scene in Trimax vol3, genuinely happy and relieved but still awkwardly not quite knowing what to say to each other after all this time, she bonks him for trying his 'old' way of address--denied! No more of that please; say her name!

So aha, here in Trimax vol4, after Zazie captures Meryl as a 'weakness' to bait him and things get personal...there it is. Now he's quite direct and no-nonsense about it! Surprising Milly and shocking even his opponents (in a 'whoa wtf, he behaves nothing like Knives!' kind of way by jumping out of a window for her) with his immediate 'cut the bullshit; I don't care about your games, I'm only here for Meryl; give her back' >:[ attitude!

(For reference, Milly generally calls Meryl 'sempai' while Wolfwood calls everybody nicknames, referring to the girls by their big/small heights. So Vash asserting a First Name basis for her is pretty significant.)

And just to check if Vash continues using her name, on his Important Mission to find her, even all alone, no matter what (Trimax vol5 spoilers)...

Oh yes he does. (Face to face now.) She's that important to him.

#trigun #trigunbookclub #vashmeryl #commentary #first name basis is pretty Important in japanese so yup i was keeping track for the When #stampede vash basically always used her name from the beginning #but once meryl gets captured then aha trimax vash is personally confronted with how much he can't afford to lose her

Do you remember episode 12, season 3 of Xiaolin Showdown when Chase was trapped on that machine thing that was brushing butter or whatever all over his chest? Well, hypothetically speaking if First walked in on that situation, how’d he react?

Ok I cackled unreasonably loud at this ask

listen i rewatched the episode (for science) and honestly the unexpected fanservice torture dungeon happened much differently than i remembered lol (also how fucked up is that right after Jack straigth up murked older monks?? wild)

but anyway basically what First Ninja saw

ive been on internet too long not to see all of it now

congrats Jack you managed to traumatize a 800 year old ghost.

#que? #ninja showdown #my immortal soul #first ninja x chase young #idk man imagine Omi knew how to summon First Ninja and he needed backup #listen i literally rewatched the episode and realized - THERE LITERALLY WAS NO REASON FOR SHOWING US THE HEYLINS #only for a joke that Jack managed to get them and the fanservice - like jesus Chase is practically naked and Wuya's outfit??? #because holy crap i cant even begin to list every innuendo now that i view it with eyes of a person that saw horror of internet lol #it came from nowhere and gone nowhere as they are literally nowhere to be seen as monks fight Jack. not even commentary from them?? #xiaolin showdown creators decided fuck it we are going out of this season with a bang have some heylin fanservice and some sexy Guan & #pretty young Chase and cool Dashi in the next episode like afsdlkjasdkdsjdsfkkldsaf ok forget that we literally traumtized Omi with deaths #of his friends ;)

like he admitted to it. that was an admission of guilt more than anything and people are going to accept that is it should be, and he is never going to be able to produce content again without being reminded of it and thats good thats so good and shubble is incredibly brave for that

#would bet my last toenail this is where the commentary videos begin #andgod i hate them so much but i hope theres some that are accurate so shubbles story does what she wanted - bring awareness and support

the praise rhaenyra gets for being a “feminist queen” or someone who “cares about women unlike *insert character they don’t like*” is so unbelievably ridiculous it makes me laugh. so many team black stans love to paint alicent as a misogynistic demon who hates her daughter and will then use rhaenyra as the antithesis of this as if that woman didn’t deliberately undermine baela and rhaena’s own very much legitimate claims to driftmark to further her own agenda. she passes them off as contenders all for the sake of her sweet illegitimate son, whom she knows genuinely has no claim, and thinks all is well after proposing a lousy betrothal (which she makes BEFORE consulting either girls).

#hotd #hotd critical #hotd commentary #hotd community #hotd fandom #rhaenyra targaryen #anti rhaenyra stans #anti team black #rhaenyra the cruel #team black stans #anti team black stans #i actually would have no problem with this if the writers weren’t so inconsistent and incompetent #to have her be complex and cruel from the beginning would make this character-appropriate and although i’d still hate her for it #it would make sense #but they seem to be allergic to writing female characters with flaws which just ends up working against them #they were hellbent on portraying her in one certain way (an innocent victim of the patriarchy who can do no wrong) and it just… #destroyed it all tbh

feels correct that porter "paladin of his (raging, conquesting, pillaging) ancestors" cliffbreaker is a white aussie . mhm yeah

#peach patter #fhjy spoilers #fantasy high junior year #liiiiiikkee i dont know if it was on purpose but there is a connection there #i mean theres a larger connection In General to all colonialization and religion used to violently control people and land #with bobby directly being a white southern televangelist + all the longrunning commentary thats been in fh since the beginning #but i just had the porter realization today so . yknow . <- running in circles over the most recent ep AUGH !!!!!

The Beginning honorifics

Daisuke -> Hikari: I didn't catch off the top of my {memory} (I'm pretty sure it's still 'Hikari-chan') but Daisuke's DEFINITELY NOT using 'Yagami' for Hikari in any fashion whatsoever, so it's NOT Downgraded.

Hikari -> Takeru: Still 'Takeru-kun'

Ken -> Daisuke: "DAISUKE{!!!}" {UPGRADE}

Ken -> Miyako: "Miyako-san" Miyako -> Ken: "Ichijouji" (was it -kun or -san??) Either way, it's definitely "Ichijouji", and I didn't hear/see a "Ken-kun" from Miyako the whole thing.

(I seem to remember a conversation on how Meiko -> Taichi went from "Taichi-san" to "Yagami-kun" and everyone took that as a negative...) {Just saying...} Personally I still think that was the completely wrong way to take it but What Do I Know 02 Chosen -> Koushiro: "Koushiro-san" - Koushiro's not referred to as "Izumi" or "Izumi-san" or "Izumi-senpai" the whole thing. I'm pretty sure Miyako uses 'Koushiro-san' too.

Funny as fuck that one of the hints pointing to the train being a badnik was that the food was shit despite how fancy everything else seemed. Because of course a train line owned by Eggman would have fucking instant ramen as its main speciality.

MY FAVORITE SCENE! HERE WE GO.

Also, shoutout to @supermary64​. All the screenshots below are from the clips they’ve posted.

At the beginning of the scene Luigi is being dragged along by his bound wrists. He is captured by strange masked creatures that clearly think very little of him, kicking him in the calves to keep him moving toward a hot air balloon, which takes off into the sky for an unknown destination.

Looking down at the landscape below, Luigi spots an old stone castle, and his expression shifts as he reflects on a better time...

… A time where he was a little kid, building a wood-block castle on the playground, and look at that castle. Luigi is a savant! At that age (which I guess is somewhere between three and five???) he probably spent a good deal of time slowly constructing the thing, carefully and quietly putting effort into every detail. Look at his face! he is completely focused and in the zone. Just one final touch needed… a flag on top…

Then along comes this little shit.

 He is aggressive right off the bat, stealing Luigi’s flag and blowing raspberries, testing his limits of how much he can intimidate this smaller, far more timid kid.

In the reflection of the sunglasses you can see Luigi backing down, fearful, hand held out in self defense. He is completely noncombative, and bracing himself for the worst.

Luigi shields his face as his castle is kicked down. He falls over backwards as the instigator laughs at him, twirling the stolen flag in his hand.

On cue, in comes Mario, jumping on top of his brother’s bully, leaping over him to place himself at Luigi’s side.

Mario puts himself between him and the attacker, breathing heavily, gearing up for a fight as he hands the retrieved flag over to his little brother, not taking his eyes off the threat, not an ounce of fear in his expression despite the fact that the he is up against what looks to be an older, bigger child.

Luckily, the bully was hoping for an easy target. Spitting out a block he runs off without looking back.

Mario turns and smiles at his brother, looking very proud of himself. Luigi, after a moment of shy consideration, smiles back. Despite having had his meticulously-constructed castle destroyed, the loss of his creation doesn’t compare to the sense of relief and safety he feels knowing his brother is there, and has his back.

Then the flashback ends, and Luigi is alone.

I think this memory is simply a culmination of how much Luigi is straight up missing his brother. Ever since they were kids he has followed Mario everywhere, even into danger and uncertainty… fearful as always, yet maintaining a sureness that he would be alright so long as his big brother took the lead.

“Nothing can hurt us as long as we’re together”… but they aren’t together anymore. For the first time for as long as he can remember, Luigi is completely and utterly alone.

Luigi looks at his bound wrists and considers the situation. He doesn’t know what’s happening or where he’s going, he only knows this world he landed in is aggressive, unforgiving, and dead set against him. Never before has the future looked so bleak.

Luigi settles back into place, looking dead ahead with a look– sad and thoughtful, like he is recalling his final moments with Mario, and wondering what he would’ve said if he had known there was a chance they were never going to see each other again.
