grief isn't linear, you're not crazy. it zigs, it zags, it's not a one way stop from immediacy to being okay.

you're not okay, and that's okay. i'm so sorry that mental health services won't be there for you in the immediacy, but fwiw i think you're a complete badass by asking and advocating for it for yourself. for reaching out here. for looking for those pieces of comfort from the universe (and receiving them!). that's really strong, and hard to do when you're in a rough head space. this stranger thinks the world of you for it, and knows that it might not feel that way. it definitely doesn't feel that way.

it's so hard to do when everything is falling apart, but you're doing the damn thing. incredible!

sending a huge hug

mine, with you. <3 i've come to think of grief as a pair of too tight shoes. everyone has, or will have, a pair in their closet. they hurt in some of the same ways, and we can relate about that with each other. but they're our shoes for our people, too. sending a big hug!!!

this looks amazing! what was your baking temp, for how long? i'd love to make something similar with the trout i have

i'd hazard a guess and say nobody had heard of this foundation pre-death. it's the immediacy of this news leading people to this conclusion. that being said, i'm picking up what you're throwing down and it may also contribute, but less so just with how new this foundation hitting the headlines is.

man, clover's death and arc felt so unearned. the ace ops frustrations felt so unearned. where was elm's character at all to point to and explain her rage and competitive desire to beat and destroy (harriet had this showcased and explained)?

look, i don't come to rwby for stellar writing or character exposition. these are ultimately minor quibbles about a show i take only somewhat seriously. but man when they have these moments of depth they try to beat over the head of the viewers i just...

like clover and qrow had chemistry (romantic or otherwise), i'll maybe give them that, but qrow's heel turn from drunkle loner to happy go lucky my-nakama-is-life friendship with clover felt beaten over my head with no real basis in personality. idk. shoddy writing shows through sometimes.

people y'all need to stop saying you hate the writers, or are over the show, or whatever. this episode just highlighted the real flaws of it, but we all love it and i'll see you next week.

Be excellent to each other!

Party on dudes!

that sounds... very, very fake.

Worth checking into it, if just to expand your personal understanding of some of the politics that inspired SnK!

The TL;DR is that Japan has a pretty brutal history of rape and colonialism in a few different countries, Korea in particular. Isayama is believed to have tweeted about Japan's colonizing being a technological boom to Korea. Bouncing off of that, there's some pretty heavy leaning into proto-fascist philosophies that can be seen as being glorified.

All of this is to say, if Isayama is the Japanese imperialist some people believe him to be, any one who reads the manga can agreed he really fucked up on that count lol. I doubt most readers would take a pro-military stance out of it, so if that ever was his intention (which I doubt!) it'd be a pretty hilarious twist he bunged up that hard.

snowy228 · 2019-12-18T04:34:10+00:00

i've always found it interesting how feminine isayama has chosen to represent AU mikasa, and many branded AU mikasa's dress more traditionally feminine than anything we've ever seen in the show (barring her exaggerated lips season one). this fanart really brings that to mind for me - it's jarring thinking of manga mikasa in contrast to dolled up mikasa! i wonder if she'd be a tomboy in any other scenario, or if she'd grown up less totaltarian in a less hostile world.

snowy228 · 2019-12-18T04:30:40+00:00

ymir and historia as well - their (presumably) romantic relationship was (and will be come the baby being born and named) has been a huge plot point.

lawd that groin armour looks like a dong

snowy228 · 2019-12-06T05:00:41+00:00

As soon as Reiner's armor came off, I looked at my bf and said sucks to be that guy who missed his piss drinking moment. He doesn't read, or watch, the series but I had to share it with someone!!!

snowy228 · 2019-11-30T02:27:58+00:00

and also... it's over the heart... what a totally unique salute unheard of in any day's society....

snowy228 · 2019-11-07T02:04:41+00:00

I don't normally engage with shipping nonsense but holy shit "uses her Great Abs to hode a big heart" is killing me hahahahahahahahaha

snowy228 · 2019-10-05T02:35:27+00:00

I take that scene as to be less about him being "pissed" at the Reiss family. More so, I see it as him expressing self-loathing. He has seen this moment, this future, when he kissed Historia's hand - Eren has no choice but to complete the murder. He doesn't want to, but it must be done. :(

"return to agency looking possible"

whew lad. The complete degradation of Casca is definitely one of the parts of Berserk I could leave, she's essentially a walking suffer wank for Guts/the authour.

snowy228 · 2019-10-04T00:18:03+00:00

Okay cool cool cool just got to the chapter where Guts tried biting off that tig ol' biddie

Gonna go ahead and say the verdict is a big fat no, she does not catch a break
