I Both Love And Hate Oedipus Rex Because The End Is So Stupid.

All of those “team cap comes back and just live off Tony’s wealth without care for him until finally someone shuts them up” has the exact same vibe as all the suitors just eating Odysseus out of home during his 20 years away from home. Especially since Odysseus comes home and kills them all. I've read a couple fics were Tony either kills or exiles them (somehow idk the logistics of that ever truly happening in the mcu)

Kuina is probably very pro-turtles and I feel like to piss her off Last boss will ONLY use plastic straws. And I mean only. drinking dr pepper? straw. drinking water? straw drinking black coffee? straw eating soup? straw spaghetti? straw  this man has most definitely eaten an entire 3 course meal with a plastic straw to spite Kuina and she just couldn't react other than crying because wtf is this dumbass doing

So its currently like 12am for me rn when I'm typing this idk when I'll post it but I had a thought.  Arisu is the type of person to spam his friends a picture of spam 50 times over a minor joke about him not being their fave friend.  specifically this photo

In other news I just spammed my friend this photo 50 times because he sides with his boyfriend over me in a minor debate

You know I do think it's interesting how strongly Fullmetal Alchemist (2003) makes the point that bringing someone back from the dead is inherently selfish.

I've seen it elsewhere but not nearly as unequivocally and plainly put. First, we have Majhal in episode 4 - an alchemist so obsessed with bringing back his dead love, he completely fails to notice that she survived and returned to him. And even once the truth is revealed... he rejects her, since she's not the ~perfect girl~ from his memories, but an old woman - an actual person, with an actual life.

And if you missed it there, we then meet Tucker, so obsessed with keeping his lifestyle and success as a State Alchemist he does, you know, that. And then he goes on to become obsessed with bringing her back - but not her, not really, as he straight-up tells Ed in the 5th laboratory - he wants the girl from his memories, the perfect, unchanging doll.

Both times, we see that those obsessed with bringing someone back from the dead aren't interested in bringing back a person, with thoughts and feelings and their own independent life to live - no, they want their idea of that person, the glowing angel who could never change, never grow, and never go wrong. And that also goes for Ed and Izumi too - Ed was so obsessed with bringing his mother back that he ignored Pinako, ignored the family that took him in, and selfishly put his brother's life at risk... for which he paid the price. Izumi lost her ability to have future children, any of them, stuck on a dream on the child she could have had. Both didn't want that mother/child - they wanted their loved ones, the ones they dreamed of, not the ones that were actually there.

Most times resurrection is brought up in media, it's with the lesson that "oh, the cost is too high", "oh, you're disturbing their rest", "oh, they don't come back right." It's rare to see it put so clearly, so obviously, so horrifically that actually, no, even the fact that you attempt it - even the fact that you want to - is an inherently selfish act, that turns your back on life and the living to chase a dream that may not have ever existed.

It's an interesting take on the whole idea, of death and life and memory and obsession. For all that 2003 dropped the ball on the ending, I do love the development they gave to the characters!

wait wait wait this has been said ( if I'm even correct in rembering) but didn't Karube legit like call for Arisu to look at him in his last moments before his head just went BOOM?? like???? that's kinda fucked??? and like they knew at the very least their gonna be killed AND YET YOU CHOOSE TO HAVE YOUR LOVER BEST FRIEND WATCH YOUR DEATH AND BE FORCED TO LOOK AT YOUR DEAD BODY FOR LIKE WHAT REASONS??? AS A LAST PRANK?  like yo sorry dude for making you see my neck get lowkey exploded and watch as my dead body just flops to the ground but dude calm down it was just a prank bro no need to get all sad over it.  LIKE ITS KIDNA WHACK ???? but like idk get it you dramatic homo do your thing

here's some characters as quotes I've taken from a discord server I'm in. Mostly said by me and wildly ooc. Chouta: yep these are words Kunia: woooo no rights! Usagi: its ok dude he's also weird your perfect together  Arisu: no no no he's weird but not “lemmy send my fav p0rn and then also send racoon pics and then more p0rn” weird like I am Chishya : do you think racoons make p0rn?  Chishya : I hope a tentacle crawls down your throat and chokes you Niragi: so do I  Aguni: he's not a daddy just a dad I'm the daddy here- WAIT SHIT NO Arisu: dude do you know what I was doing yesterday? Karube: my mum? Arisu: ew no I was gonna say my math homework  Chishya : you just like seeing people in bikinis at the beach Kunia: no I like pretty people in ball gowns we’ve discussed this Arisu: listen I don't wanna be her I wanna be in her- on her- on- in....Listen I don't wanna be her I wanna be under her Hatter: I want to sniff gods crusty underpants Kuina to Chishya : No, no ,no. you cant put hentai on your godforsaken media presentation about how modern media is rotting the younger generations brains Karube: do your tits have milk? wait wait wait no not like that I swear I just wanted to make boob cheese I swear 

Chat-noir: sometimes I wonder ‘hmm what's going to happen today’. For some reason my mind never expect I’d be clambering through sewers on a stealth mission to crawl into one of the dormant heads of a Cerberus like jelly monster and yet here I am. what even is my life anymore  Ladybug over a headpiece : chat its not a stealth mission if you speak the entire time  chat-noir: its fineee its not like anyone's down here- OH MY FUCK THATS A PIDGEON WHY THE FUCK IS IT DOWN HERE 

Arisu: so yeah in ancient greece and Rome they’d read the entrails of thier blood sacrifice to predict the future

Usagi: facinating 

Chishiya: I wonder what my guts would predict Arisu: I would prefer not to see your guts? please and thank you<3 

Chishiya: just for that heart Kuina come chop me open your gonna read the future 

Arisus: talking to a random guy who imagines it’s you and him in fury porn ain’t that bad right? Right?

Usagi: love we’ve talked about this. Stop talking to weird men on the internet

Chishiya: unless your getting money for feet pics

Usagi: not helping you stupid mother fucker

Usagi painting stars across Arisus cheeks, some bigger than others, becuse he wants to remember all those that died in games with him and wants them on his skin (but tattoos hurrrrrrt and low-key probs arnt great to get in borderland) so paintitn them on in white face paint is what he has to do.

Just her softly holding his chin in one hand as she slowly angles his head to the side to get a better view. Chewing on her lip slightly as she concentrates on getting the lines right. The well used brush like ticking Arisus nose because yall have you ever been face painted??? Fucjing tickle hell.
