I Think It’s Because In All Those Other Situations, There Was At Least Hope. Yue Qingyuan Had A Sliver

I started reading Naruto fanfiction again and the words “ya know” have been violently re-added to my vocabulary.

I think the coolest thing about Anakin’s and Obi-Wan’s relationship is they way it really gets the eldest sibling/younger sibling bond. For instance, I’m a younger sibling and I have frequently called my sister my third parent. I see her as a parent (though not a mother) and respect her more then I do anyone else. This doesn't mean I don't see her as a sister, it just means that I have two labels for her that have blended together to create a bigger, more confusing, super label.

My older sister however has never seen me as anything other then her younger sister. She claims me as her own and really does love me, but she doesn't see me as her daughter, the most she’ll go to is calling me her child but never anything more then that. You might think what’s the difference (which is valid) and the answer to that is labeling. By calling me her kid (however reluctantly) instead of her daughter she is still maintaining that she is not my parent. Teachers call their students their kids so why shouldn't a sibling be able to do the same? If she called me her child, or her daughter then she’d be putting up a direct claim.

Anakin clearly sees Obi-Wan as a parent/older sibling/friend, while Obi-Wan just sees Anakin as a brother/best friend. Obi-Wan is maintaining that he isn't Anakin’s father but rather his older brother and friend instead. And the best thing is that Anakin doesn't always see Obi-Wan as his parent! Sometimes he’ll see him just as a brother or friend.

This is also a point in their favor. Sometime’s I’ll just feel like my sister is more my sister then my parent and sometimes it’s the other way around. The labels are constantly changing and complicated and maybe I’m just looking way too deeply into their relationship but I find it gives me comfort.

So I started rewatching Death Note, as you do, and I noticed that for the first few minutes before Light gets the Death Note his eyes are void as fuck. He looks lifeless, like a painted doll. He doesn't really look alive. 

It’s not until he notices the notebook falling that he gains the shine that most anime characters have. I’m pretty sure it’s not a hot take to say that Light was probably at least a little depressed before he found the Death Note. Honestly speaking I think finding the Death Note and using it made Light the happiest he had ever been in his admittedly short life. And it’s not just the killing criminals thing that made him happy, it was the absence of boredom, because like it or not, Light had never had a challenge before in his life until the notebook.

This isn't an argument that the Death Note was the best thing to have ever happen to Light, because that notion is entirely debatable, but rather it’s an argument that the Death Note made Light’s life more colorful for him.

Because we can't know for sure what would have happened if Light continued on the way he had without ever finding the death note. Would he have found happiness despite the ever present boredom and distaste towards his fellow man? Or would he have become even more depressed? We don't know, but we do know that up until the moment the notebook dropped, Light had been unhappy. 

To be completely honest one of the things I was most devastated about with Damian Wayne’s whole new consume and identity is the lack of stylish boots. Like, 12 year old me saw those boots and thought “yeah those are lit” and you know what? 12 year old me was right, those boots were, in fact, “lit”

But now I’m looking at his new consume and all I can think is that would be such an easier transition if they left the boots. They were fashionable as fuck and it’s a true travesty they’re gone.

Have you noticed that the fan art for L Lawliet and Jeff the Killer looks startlingly similar at times? Because I have, and I have not known sleep for days.

Batfam Lightsabers

Here’s my take on the lightsaber colors of the Batfamily. This is purely opinion so please don't take it too seriously. 

Bruce: Purple, I feel like he’s constantly walking the line between light and dark and his lightsaber would reflect that.

Dick: Blue, he’s hyper focused on physicality so this would reaffirm that. He’d be a knight for sure. (that doesn't mean he isn't smart!)

Barbara: Yellow, she’ll always be oracle to me.

Jason: Red, he’d be a darksider but not a Sith, you know? Like, he’s an angry individual but also not evil. 

Cass: Orange, she’s highly skilled in combat but she’s just a genuinely peaceful person.

Tim: Yellow, this color was made for him and you can not convince me otherwise. An entire faction that depends on tech just as much as the force? Sign Tim up.

Steph: Pink, I have no idea why it just seems like something she would do. Just get the rarest and most misunderstood lightsaber color like it’s no big deal.

Duke: Green, he has powers already so I feel like that would transfer over to him being more focused on the force and stuff.

Damian: White, he’s constantly being pulled between the light side (his father) and the dark side (his mother). His lightsaber should reflect less of a struggle and more of neutrality.

Common things you learn to do when you have a sibling

1. Yawn with one eye open at least, you don't know when your sibling will get uppity and put their finger in your mouth like the utter heathen they are.

2. Walk with your ass covered. Vigilance is your friend and your sibling is your enemy. Your sibling will take every chance they have to kick you right between your ass cheeks. 

3. Steal their charger. You could steal other things too but nothing causes as much outrage as stealing the continued lifeblood of their phone.

4. Accept the reality that your sibling’s friends are trash and will always be trash in your mind.

5. Fighting to first blood. Body slamming your sibling to the ground is something you learn to do early on.

Finally started reading Eden’s Zero and can now say with the utmost certainty that Rebecca has something that Lucy should have had all along... Fucking guns. You do not understand the sense of euphoria I got from watching her pull out some guns and just shoot some motherfuckers. Like, it was almost therapeutic.

I hope that if they end up recasting someone for season 3 they get an actress that’s buffer then gina carano if only so when Din and Cara meet up again he’ll just be like

“You seem a little buffer”

and that’s it, no other acknowledgement, just thinks her muscles are larger.

I love Chinese bl novels because the main character will always be like, “I’m a straight male who has never had a single homosexual thought ever”

And then like not even five months later they’ll be giving out a blowjob “purely for science” like that’s a completely normal and heterosexual thing to do.

Like, I’m currently reading a transmigration novel where the mc is like, “I’m so straight,” but then his first solution to a problem that he’s having where someone is spying on him to ruin his reputation is to have a phone call in front on the spy about having an affair, go out and buy sexy lingerie, invite his “husband” to a night in a hotel, and then wait for the chaos.

My brother in Christ, what part of you felt like that was the heterosexual thing to do??
