Here’s the ending to have a home! He absolutely kills this song, it’s so cool to see the song he got into the show with!
(I also have a longer version of the first clipped saved but for whatever reason tumblr doesn’t let you upload two videos on the same post so I might upload that later)
Like Alan is well within his right to be sad that his relationship is over and that there is absolutely nothing he can do to save. However, it wasn’t brand new to him that Wen wasn’t in love with him anymore. Yeah, then still living together and sleeping in the same bed didn’t make the break up real to him, but Wen made it clear multiple times that he was no longer in this relationship with Alan. He had no desire to even be friends with him, because honestly when you’re with someone for a long time it’s hard to just be friends.
Wen finally moving out will do both of them some good, but especially Alan. He can finally mourn their relationship. He can finally be able to move on.
Alan didn’t do anything to make Wen fall out of love with him. They got older and people change.
“To Have A Home” by Darren Criss plays over the end credits of the Harry Potter and Sorcerer’s Stone episode of The Mix-Ins. It’s a gorgeous song, and it makes sense for it to follow Harry’s last line, “I’m not going home. Not really.”
Top that off with the fact that the song is sung by Harry Potter himself, Darren Criss? It’s like poetry, it rhymes. 😌
Harry Potter "To Have a Home" animatic! Song from "A Very Potter Sequel", aka best musical ever. Darren Criss is a legend for writing and singing this song so beautifully. This version is from "Starkid Homecoming", which I literally watch once a week (no joke) 🥺
This is a very rough pass and I'd love to go back and touch this up (possibly animate?). Anyway, this song has many layers; it's about Harry finding a home for the first time in his life at Hogwarts, but it's also the feeling I, and many readers, have when we open the books.
i must not get takeout. takeout is the wallet-killer. takeout is the little-death that brings total obliteration. i will face the kitchen, fridge, and pantry. i will make choices about what to cook and then execute them. when hunger is gone there will be nothing. only i will remain.
tbh the fact that cats purr was an unnecessary bonus we don't always acknowledge. they're already cute and baby and little and soft and make silly noises and do funny shit. but they also like to cuddle and make a soothing pleasant noise to indicate they are happy when they cuddle you? huge. huge for the human race.
I'm not the first to mention this, but one bit that I thought was really clever in Steven Universe is the ways in which the show subtly justifies the cartoonism of the principle cast always wearing the same outfit for ease-of-animation purposes. The gems are a gimme in that they're all hardlight-projections, and even before that's solidified as a plot point they're otherworldly and superheroic enough that you don't really think to question it. But Steven canonically just owns hundreds and hundreds of those star shirts, which are leftover merchandise from his father's fizzled-out career as a rock star. Into which you can read a whole bunch of other stuff if you really want to, right? And I do want to. It's reflective of Greg's misplaced optimism that he got hundreds of those made in the first place, and it's a benign but visible example of how Steven's life is shaped by the knock-on effects of decisions his parents made before he was even alive. He's got his mother's superpowers and he's wearing his father's shirts.
I like to think that Vulcans who come to understand that Humans just can’t try to process emotions the same way as them, it’s just healthiest to let it out in harmless ways, decide that venting and stuff should be taken just as seriously as Vulcan’s meditation time, and will encourage the Humans around them to complain about what’s upsetting them
People who are used to aloof Vulcans who avoid Humans at all cost running into one comforting a Human
“-and then they said my cheesecake was subpar, and they didn’t even bring a dish!!!”
“The purpose of this event was that every participant brings a food item of sorts, correct?”
“Yeah!!”
“And they did not follow this rule while insulting dishes that were brought?”
