#the end of ze world

[ghostradiodylan]

I really think the main difference between myself and someone from Gen Z is how often I think 'but I am le tired!’ to myself.

#also I am le tired more often than them #the end of ze world #ye olde meme #bunny is le tired #bunny should try sleeping at normal hours #bunny is gonna have a nap then fire ze missiles #millennial culture

"I don't want to lose any more friends!! Even if that means my soul should shatter!"

We all know the line. It's Ryou at his most powerful: outsmarting and defeating Bakura all on his own very early on in the series. Not sure for yall, but I've only ever heard and known it in the voice of Kashiwakura Tsutomu (season 0).

So! I was pleasantly surprised to find out that in the YGO × Power Pros collab, there's a soundbite of that very line in the voice of Matsumoto Rica!

Lmao yeah that's Bakura's sprite in the video since he's the playable character in the collab, I think? idk anything about the collab tbh (baseball???) but Ryou has that line at least.

Bakura has his own lines too. They're mostly reworded/rerecorded Battle City ones, including when he shields Ryou from Osiris' attack and, uh, quite the ecstatic/maniacal declaration of "Millennium Eye! Get!" (as in, "The Millennium Eye is mine!") from Duelist Kingdom. Bakura's voice is deeper and a bit raspier. Same quality from Duel Links.

more faithful anime remake when so I dont have to forever cling to this eight-second clip

#yami bakura #bakura ryou #ygo #yugioh #dark bakura #ryou bakura #jp to eng #umbrella #'if you misbehave I will kill us' - essentially what ryou is saying #aka murder-suicide #should be considered a love language maybe #this is the closest we'll get to a monster world remake #look idc hell make it a movie!! #just!!!! give me matsumoto rica talking to herself for 5minutes when the bakuras first meet #if kazama shunsuke made the yugis talk to themselves for FOUR EPISODES #yknow #the ceremonial duel #then matsumoto rica can have 5 minutes!!! #I say more faithful anime remake but can we get a better memory world arc and ending pls #that millennium eye get!!!! is like pokemon satoshis iconic GETTO DA ZE tbh #probably an homage

He cannot become a doctor anymore, but he still has the desire to bake and even open a shop. He's worked hard to get the license and now he'll work hard to open this shop and make cakes and desserts. Oh that ZeRui would come and eat his desserts and fall for him all over again.

#kiseki: dear to me #kdtm #taiwanese bl #zong yi x ze rui #may ZongYi's future be brighter than the past 4 years #let him become a world-class baker and make the best desserts #he's going to make it and I'll not have it any other way #he's my baby boy #he deserves the world #and much more #only happiness for him from now on #they better not bring in too much Fan family drama because I'm ready to end the grandfather #hsu kai #taro lin

[awakens from my thousand year slumber] pseudo-tangled au inspired by Crowley insisting Gabriel can't go outside — Beelzebub, knowing that Gabriel is somewhere in the bookshop, goes to scope things out before Shax's invasion, and runs into Jim, Aziraphale's clueless, idiotic, cute human (?) assistant.

Jim, wanting to see The Outside, but scared from Crowley and Aziraphale's warnings, promises Beez that he'll help them find Gabriel (he probably thinks Gabriel is a type of book, especially since Beelzebub never seems to hear him when he tells them people call him Gabriel) if they can safely show him The Outside.

After eluding a frantic Crowley and Aziraphale, running from the police (how was Jim supposed to know he couldn't just walk out of places with Shiny Things??), seeing the strange and wonderful things The Outside has to offer, dancing at a Human Music Festival, getting Jim better clothes, and Jim somehow saving Beelzebub from being tracked down by heaven, Beelzebub finds themself reluctantly charmed by the silly, strange human (??)

Especially since something about him seems so familiar...

#outside?? is it big?? can i see the #outside?? #good omens #ineffable bureaucracy #beelzebub #archangel gabriel #this is so incoherent but i was looping go s2 in background and reached the part where gabriel is like and crowley shut him down #plus those scenes of jim gazing out his window at the street below #crowley as mother gothel lmao #obviously not the villain of the fic just exasperated while zira Flips Out #beez for sure takes him to a dive bar to see him be scared but jim has no self preservation bless #a whole i have a dream scene occurs #beez can't admit their dream is to see gabriel again so they say something about retiring #foreshadowing when they and gabriel escape and go to alpha centauri or wherever they ended up after they fade out #“but elena where is the fly” #uhh it accidentally gets shut inside the bookstore as they leave so when azira and crowley find jim and drag him back #that is when gabriel's memories can be restored in the dramatic finale #and beelzebub gets to tell him how ze fell in love with him twice over #i would love you in whatever form you take; in whatever scrap of yourself you give me; i would love you in another world and i would #love you in this one for as long as you shall have me #type beat #meanwhile jim/gabriel is just staring at beez #having queer thoughts and he doesn't even what queer thoughts are #“demon.... handsome..” #if we want extra seasoning beez can angst over possibly having feelings for jim while they're in love with gabriel #the dramatic finale happens when azira and crowley find them and drag jim back because they're scared beelzebub will hurt him #but beez is like “no you were keeping him inside constantly what the fuck??” #and they try to 'rescue' him and gabriel at the same time #maybe they get themself trapped inside zira's prayer circle thing whatever to give jim a chance to escape #and they tell him to grab gabriel and run to freedom

Hi!

For the trope ask game

8. May/December & 12. Forced Proximity

Rose💜

8- May/December

So there are actually quite a few age gap romances in BL but hmmm this one is a little difficult for me because there are a couple that I really really love. I like the idea of the May/Decmber trope being not only a significant age gap but also two people in very different stages of their lives, so as much as I love Wataru and Daichan I feel like they are both settled, domestic, and while generationally different, they are both working adults. 

I think I want to actually throw this to 

Fan Ze Rui and Bai Zong Yi, Kiseki: Dear to Me 

What I appreciate with their relationship is that unlike some of the other May/December relationships, they meet when they are relatively older. What I mean by this is that Lian and Kuea from Cutie Pie grew up together, Wataru has known Daichan since he was twelve. Bai Zong Yi meets Fan Ze Rui when he is 17, in what I would call a truly unhinged first contact. I loved watching their relationship develop from utter annoyance to tolerance to friendship and then to love. I think what I love about this relationship is that there is a clear attraction between them for awhile, but Fan Rui is trying to be responsible. He knows Bai Zong Yi is a minor, he has a dangerous lifestyle, sure he definitely wants to be with Bai Zong Yi but he is not trying to encourage Bai Zong Yi’s feelings for him, even if they are reciprocated. 

Part of why I am choosing these two is a) because the tension in Fan Rui knowing that this relationship is not responsible and Bai Zong Yi’s clear and obvious interest in him creates one of my favorite first kiss acting moments and b) because I think Kiseki actually managed to handle this relationship responsibly by having Bai Zong Yi be the pursuer, by having Fan Rui try to distance, by having Bai Zong Yi initiate. 

Their reunion scene was beautiful and that lap sit during their first kiss was smooth as butter. 

12- Forced Proximity

Bokura no Micro na Shuumatsu 

IT’S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT. IT’S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT. IT’S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT, AND I FEEL FINE. 

What an incredible example of a forced proximity second chance romance with such fucked up relation dynamics that I absolutely got to obsessed over. I mean, be honest, how many shows do you see where your characters are forced together on a road trip to try to get their recently acquired, superhero seventeen year old child back to his family before the world is destroyed by a giant meteor? This plot sounds ridiculous, and it is, and yet the character dynamics are so compelling, and there is an incredible emotional core that operates throughout. Good job!

its been almost 20 years but when im tired i still often think in a bad french accent "but i am le tired" the internet is really something

#end of ze world was 2003.... fuck.. #i was 13 years old

[jazz-kity]

b4 i see the answer lowkey i think "why does it matter" checks out. why DOES it matter what'll happen to any world? it doesnt have to last forever for any of the happiness they feel to not be worthwhile

#jazzrejuv #like #who gaf if nancys dead. it doesnt mean she was never alive #maybe i just play z/ro escape too much < slash to avoid this ending up in the ze tag #bc in that game there are millions of timelines #and specifically in one of them. no spoilers Play The Game #one of the characters find out they can only exist in a doomed timeline #and they end up being comforted bc likeeee #their timeline wont go Away. and it doesnt matter if the world sucks bc thats just how their lives are and theyre happy both despite #& because of it #and this whole timeline reminds me of it #cuz like yeah the world is horrible but they still have each other and they still Have good times that are worth experiencing #even despite the condition of the world. and in some ways- like mosely and amber finding family in each other- because of it!!! #its hard to phrase in a proper way i think #but their happiness never means nothing. i think #and even the worlds erasure doesnt mean that their happiness was for nothing. cuz they still experienced it? right? u get me kind of ?

[magentagalaxies]

as i'm reading the buddy cole autobiography of course i'm thinking about aubrey aubergine's backstory and tbh i think it'd be really funny if the events of other girls are canon to aubrey as a sketch character but ze just doesn't think they're the most interesting thing about zir. like someone comes up to aubrey like "hey weren't you in a time loop when you were in high school?" and aubrey just sarcastically responds "wasn't everyone in a time loop in high school?"

#blorbo from my brains #honestly i feel like it's in character. all the other main characters in other girls have some big moment #that's like this is the most important night of my life and i'll remember it forever #and not to say aubrey *doesn't* have that bc of course the decision to not rely on zir powers is huge as well as their bond with juno #but aubrey's in a unique position bc zir character growth is tied to walking away #and letting go of this idea that the night has to be important at all and allowing zirself to just be a kid regardless of lillly #idk if aubrey's happy ending is even being told about the time loop. like ze probably finds out eventually #even by eye of the beholder ze suspects lillly isn't telling the full truth #but while the rest of the characters have their arc tied to what they do with the information that their world was not what it seemed #aubrey's arc ends with this idea that high school doesn't define who you are. and i think that's why the character stuck around afterwards #and why zir arc became the one i related to most by the end of the production even tho it didn't start out that way #damn this was supposed to just be a shitpost but now it turned into character analysis lmao

🦷 ⇢ share some personal wisdom or a life hack you swear on

Honestly? Remember the nicest person you know. The person who did things for other people even when they got no recognition. The one who paid for meals, brought treats to work, etc. And did it only because they wanted to--because they thought it was a nice thing to do. And then, when life is hard, when those around us are being mean and that awful petty side of us is trying to kick in, think about what that nice person would do. For me, it's: "What Would Granddad Do?" Honestly, this has gotten me through so much the last few years (especially since he's been gone), and it can be applied to other things, too. Like major decisions. Or even things like "I like the blue one better, but it's more expensive." Well...what would Granddad do?

🥐 ⇢ name one internet reference that will always make you laugh

Oh gosh, I don't think I have an answer for this one. I will say some of those old videos get me every time. Specifically, the "End of Ze World." Anytime I think "Okay, so," my brain finishes with "here's the Earth. It's chillin."

Disco Elysium's setting was formerly the site of a communist revolution that established the Commune of Revachol. It didn't last long. The Coalition of Nations brutally put the communists down, divided the city among themselves, and enforced a free market capitalist system. The results are depressingly apparent in Revachol's dilapidated district of Martinaise. "The literacy rate is around 45% west of the river," Joyce Messier, a negotiator sent to parley with Martinaise's striking union, tells our protagonist. "Fifty years of occupation have left these people in an *oblivion* of poverty." This state of affairs is overseen by the Moralist International, a union of centre-left and centre-right parties that professes to represent the cause of humanism, but whose primary concern is transparently the preservation of capitalist interest – a Coalition official happily tells us that "the Coalition is only looking out for *ze price stabilitié*", arguing that inflation in Revachol must be prevented, comparing it to a heart disease that could block the "normal circulation of the economy". The people of Revachol don't matter. Their suffering and oppression is only significant as a necessary symptom of the system functioning as intended.  The most biting aspect of this critique of capitalist exploitation can be found in the cynicism of those who represent Moralism, or at least, its interests. The aforementioned Joyce Messier is its perfect embodiment. She does not believe in the facade of humanity Moralism presents to the world, and is under no illusions about what it has done to the people of Martinaise. She tells you how bad things are, freely admitting that the pieces of legislation put in place by the Moralist Coalition to govern Revachol are there to keep "the city in a [...] laissez-faire stasis to the benefit of foreign capital". This corrosion of belief via cynicism, this depiction of a system that continues to operate unimpeded despite few believing in it, feels all too familiar.  This critique of liberal capitalism's hypocrisy, cynicism, exploitation and deep-rooted connections to colonialism, is particularly powerful in recognising the precarious position it finds itself in. It has reached a stasis that seems, paradoxically, both insurmountable, and on the verge of collapse. Moralism relies on this contradiction. It's unofficial motto, "for a moment, there was hope", underlines the degree to which its dominance depends on the preclusion of the idea that a better world is possible, that there is no alternative, echoing the End of History sentiment that created the (rapidly disintegrating) political consensus of our lived reality. Despite growing dissatisfaction with the status quo in the real world, it has, indeed, proved difficult to imagine an alternative. The oft-repeated phrase attributed to literary critic and political theorist Fredric Jameson, that is is easier to imagine the end of the world than it is the end of capitalism, has almost become a cliché. However, the mistake Joyce makes, and one that we should avoid, is to assume that this means an alternative won't emerge nonetheless.

[...]

In a world where everyone is encouraged to look out for themselves, Disco Elysium suggests we should remember the value of collectivity, camaraderie and community. The Deserter has forgotten that though the communism he identified with is dead, the values that brought people to its cause in search of a better world remain as valid as ever. Bleak as it is, those values exist in Martinaise. They exist in us. Their latent power has the potential to lead us towards better horizons.
