#vol 2 was so bad

[leafysoupp]

WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT THE FACT WILL AND LUCAS HAVE A SPECIAL HUG? Like they lean in, Will does a tappity-tap, and then they hug. THEY ARE SO CUTe? They're the best duo fight me.

#The deserve better duo #i love them sm #will byers #lucas sinclair #MY 2 FAVS #byclair #maybe #this is so #im so #AAAAAAAA <333 #I love them #lets ignore vol 2 #please #vol 2 was so bad #trash #could be platonic or romantic #platonic #romantic #byclair endgame #st #stranger things

The thought that goes into the fake science in dungeon meshi can be something so special actually. Using golems to explain crop rotation and how removing predators from an ecosystem can have knock-on effects. Talking about symbiotic relationships and parasites too! And characters are actually interested in the science so they keep explaining about it. Finally, some exposition I can get behind.

#I tried to google to see if the author had any bio/chem/agriculture qualifications but no luck with a brief search #but like. just from reading up to early vol 2 I'm seeing so many lines where the in-universe science draws from rl #this is so much better than Kill the Moon aka the ep of dw that was so bad on science it made me drop the series for years #(admittedly the really bad abortion metaphor also contributed towards that decision but shhh) #dungeon meshi #I should maybe make a readthrough tag but I feel like if I do that I'm going to intimidate myself out of reading

Grammar/etiquette questions!

1.) When you’re talking respectfully about the Chief Cultivator in the third person rather than addressing them directly in the second person, would you say [surname]-xiandu (the way you’d say [surname]-zongzhu), or just xiandu?

2.) If addressing an unmarried but definitely adult woman who’s not granny-aged, is she -guniang or -furen or something else?

#I have no headphones and am in public so I can’t pull up a video to listen for it #7seas does this weird thing where they use the honorifics half the time and translate them into English the other half of the time #so all the possible permutations of ‘brother’ are just transliterated (valid and correct) #but all the titles of address for women get rendered in English as ‘Lady’ or ‘Madam’ #and (inexplicably) they keep using ‘uncle’ until they eventually give up and go with jiujiu and shushu midway through Vol. 2 #which like. still better than Netflix but otoh at least Netflix was consistent in its manner of badness

Trigunbookclub vol1-2 reread and OHHHHHH god this one's gonna Hurt ;o; (spoiler alert: I already feel DISTRAUGHT like I've been hit by a truck; here we go again with the incoming Emotional Damage~)

See, because if in vol1 Vash asked Rem in his dreams his ongoing existential question: how people in such a terribly dry world aka his waking reality found reasons (hope) to keep on living

"...Rem. I had this dream. Everything was so terribly dry...even people's hearts. In a world like that...I kept asking myself, why people would go on living."

And then after experiencing the Sand Steamer incident, where everyone's Doomed 'ticket' on that ship could be changed and course-corrected with the help of people working together to survive this, he feels a closer understanding towards her beliefs in humanity's hope & potential, and more of those answers towards what it means for people to go on living.

"Maybe...this is what it means for people to go on living. This must be what she believed...why she traded her life for everyone else's."

...But then in vol2 we suddenly violently understand WHY he kept on asking himself that question....

BECAUSE, for all this time, his ONLY reason that's kept HIM going so far (driven with one purpose despite how Hard and dry it's been to live) has been to find & settle his score with Knives. ;o; THAT fiercely angry & resentful, too.

"[Finding Knives is] the the one thing that has kept me living for so long. I must send him to hell! That monster killed Rem! It's time for him to pay for his sins! He's mine!"

But whoaaaaa there, oh noooo Vash sweetie....just what would Rem think of that? Surely her sentiment and sacrifice for the chance that Everyone else could even have a 'blank ticket' future applies to both you and Knives too, right?

"I made a promise. And if I put out the light of even one life, I don't think [Rem] would forgive me."

Because now! Wouldn't Vash's promise to Rem be broken, and wouldn't she become terribly sad (including her whole belief & legacy she's left behind), IF either he or Knives were excluded from that? Would she even be happy if her boys died or ended up killing each other TOO? D:

OR can Vash absolutely not even See Himself (& Knives) as part of that same equation as those (other people humans) whose lives are Worth saving----

"Rem...we were no good...right from the start... [Maybe] we...I...should never have been...born..."

...!!!!!!!! ;A; *gasp* OH MY GOD VASH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~!!!! Aaaa, that's the painful extent of how little he values himself and his life's worth--hating that of what he is, with the terrible destructive power he's capable of and does not want, so much to the point he regrets ever being born.

Bonus: and then all of a sudden his daily pondering at breakfast (vol2 omake: 'Day In Day Out'), where he thinks he can't ever really live like a normal person, hits with terribly upsetting clarity:

#trigun #trigunbookclub #commentary #long text post #URRGGHHHHH it's only week2 vol 2 and i already feel like curling up in a fetal position ;o; (god i need sleep) #someone pls give him a Hug so bad it's unreal #BUT ALSO once he 'found' knives he then took meryl's suggestion to live quietly & peacefully as eriks..welp how that turned out

#so far in my sporadic picking away at various manga series i feel i have the weirdest reader relationships with JJBA and Attack on Titan #when reading JJBA i am not really that invested in the characters or even whats happening to them and yet i still never decide to dnf it #and i dont even know what it is that keeps me reading except that its just very unique i suppose? #such an odd combo of different things that somehow manages to eventually have its own sorta cohesive logic and charm #also the art is just fun. its ornate and goofy and macho and flamboyant and gross #but as soon as i put it down i stop thinking about it too #and dont feel like picking it up again for at least several more days #with attack on titan i found the art style mostly really bad at first ngl #it reminded me of awkward drawings a high schooler would make like the inconsistentness #of like there are good action poses here but the people also look weird ugly bland and stiff and the backgrounds are often so empty #idk i was feeling pretty blah about it but something about how starkly straight-forward the story is was interesting to me #where its literally exactly what you heard its just #theres a bunch of humanoid giants attacking our city #and we have to stop them. that's it #and also the awkwardness of the art style i find works extremely well when it comes to the titans #like they are genuinely creepy to me. and they do actually feel massive the way theyre drawn. and the mystery around them interests me too #anyways im like 60% through part 1 of jojo(also read most of part 4 a few years ago) and only on vol 3 of AoT #but yeah those are the 2 series i have the most mixed feelings about so far #wouldnt say i love or hate either of them but still also continue to want to find out more #13readsmanga #p

Hikaru merch dropped on animate and I never wanted 60 bucks more in my entire life

#hikaru ga shinda natsu #LIKE I COULD HAVE THEM BY THEIR BOOKS #BECAUSE IM ALSO GETTING VOL 2 IN OCTOBER #i need a job so bad #anyone want to commission me ? #please i want them so badd #i hope one day asako can get her own merch too

[polestargios]

also can we talk about the end credits music?? the kiners really went off again that shit is ethereal

#it sounds like a piano version of omegas theme and it’s so pretty i’m crying #i need the vol. 2 of season 3 nOW #kiner siblings pls #spare a vol. 2 of season 3 music #sw #the bad batch #tbb spoilers #the bad batch spoilers

[guideaus]

this extra was a good bit for hgsn's story, but i feel like the whole exchange was kinda funny and this unnamed girl was v lucky hikaru didnt kill her here

#personal #hgsn #hikaru hasnt learned killing is bad yet in vol 2 so it couldve. imagine if he did it more than once #she immediately was like 'oh you are NOT what i thought u were haha!' and he just pauses lol #if she was significant in any way he couldve i bet #not even calling him weird bc the lack of romantic attraction but the implied different between him and hikaru #he was more concerned abt wtf she was talking abt (and if he feels the same towards yoshiki) than the possibility of her actually #inquiring why he's different

what is the layout of Home? Like the interior from a birds-eye view. And where are the guest placements?

Okay i'm. gonna be super honest with you. Neither of us know what the layout is.

HOWEVER. I can tell you where each guest is.

Adam: Can be. pretty much anywhere. probably hangs around the guest bedroom with Jonah. and on that note:

Jonah: Guest bedroom wall

Mark: Top left corner of the back hallway

Cesar: ???

#asks are neat #tmc home sweet home au #I. am legit so bad at visualizing layouts without reference. #I have such trouble imagining the inside of a building unless i've been there or have seen a LOT of references for it. #You can probably see the discrepancies in vol 2 actually. #Namely. a small room/living room extension to the left of the front door with the piano in it. #The problem? THERE'S SUPPOSED TO BE A GARAGE THERE.
