One of my many favorite things about Riza Hawkeye is that, in a setting full of essentially magic-powered soldiers and terrorists, she is one of THE most effective characters while being armed only with the power of Gun
The main thing she’s armed with is her own competency. Let’s face it, you could hand her a slingshot and she’d be just as effective.
Watching The Haunting of Hill House and The Haunting of Bly Manor may have been two of the best decisions I’ve made this year.
Watching them back to back definitely was not.
If anyone needs me, I’ll be crying while doing some deep introspection.
I bought the Giovanni style pants in pokemon go, it was time for a wardrobe update afterall. And there was a pop up that said “You have acquired Giovanni’s pants.” And I just.....well now I can only picture Spark sneaking onto that balloon of his, and just nabbing his pants.
Does anyone else hyperfixate on certain ships to the point where you only want to consume fanfics for that ship because reading others feels like some form of cross contamination. Then you inevitably get tired of that ship and move on to another until you eventually circle back to the original ship?
The other circle of life
can’t risk it
THIS PIECE OF PICTURE WORKS.
Gotta take all the chances…..
Never risk it
i had to
I have exams coming up so
I had plans for my weekend.
Then I started reading Fullmetal Alchemist....
and I am no longer doing those plans.
Dr Stone: The ongoing saga of Gen trying to stop Kohaku from rushing off into danger. With....mixed success.
Just when I thought I couldn’t love Kohaku more, she uses Hyoga’s hair as an anchor while grabbing corn kernels out of the river.
classic.
The biggest plot twist in KnY is the fact that this is Haganezuka’s face:
And this man is SINGLE because he is terrible at socializing and hard to deal with lol
truly the only plot twist in Demon Slayer I did not see coming
I’ll never get over Tahomaru actually giving Hyakkimaru back his eyes.
These two brothers had so much taken from them before they were even born.
And it would have been so easy to just give in to the demon and let it take control.
but he doesn’t. He uses what’s left of his strength to give. something. back.
finished Dororo the other day.
Loved all of it, but especially Tahomaru.
He was so brave, and so caring of all of his people. He stood up to his father when he learned about Hyakkimaru’s birth and the loss of his limbs.
Yeah, he made some bad decisions. Understandable but bad.
But his last act was defying a really powerful demon and returning something to his brother he had tried to kill like ten seconds before.
I love Tahomaru for a lot of the same reasons I love Yun.
He makes me cry for a lot of the same reasons too.
LIghthouse keepers will never be memorialized like soldiers or cops because they didn’t kill anyone (as part of their job) but they’re like, heroes who saved untold lives through discipline and self-sacrifice doing an impossible lonely job and I’m worked up about it
Clinging to a swaying tower in freezing, driving rain, risking death by everything from pneumonia to a fall to a fucking lightning strike to keep the lantern going when you don’t even KNOW if someone is out on the water!! Working! Class! Heroes!
Love very much the sentiment of this post and also love the specific wording of “didn’t kill anyone (as part of their job)” because what lighthouse keepers did off hours is their own business
If it’s not near the light, it’s out of sight
Reading all 205 chapters of the Demon Slayer manga in one week was both a really good decision and a reeeeaaalllllllyyyyyyy bad decision
If anyone needs me, I’ll be over there.
sobbing.
this makes me want to throw up and cry and scream and punch a wall
fuck personality tests tell me what do u prefer? paperbacks? hardcovers? e-books? or audio books?
paperbacks and hardbacks. I only read manga on my tablet, and I don’t have the attention span for audio books.
This isn’t as long as my thoughts on Kyoshi being fit for her times. I’ve read a few places about Aang being what was needed because air is the element of freedom. And I don’t disagree with that. But I think it’s actually more complicated.
It’s useless to play the what if game of if he hadn’t gotten frozen in an iceberg and faced the invasion of the fire nation when it happened. Liklihood is he would have died.
But after 100 years of strife, he had something no one else in that world had. He knew a world without war. He knew peace.
Any Avatar we know of could have stopped Ozai, several would have killed him. But what then? You’ve ended a war. But what’s next. Aang was what the world needed then. Someone who knew peace, and knew how to communicate and compromise.
Fighting is easy when it’s all you’ve known. That’s why Aang was fit for his times, so he could lead them down a new path.
Depending on the Robin Hood tale you read, he is also very much a mob boss.
