everyone in Revolutionary Girl Utena that hates Anthy is just "God that hot sad bitch with the turbo autism should die" like what's your problem bromeo
i always thought that scene in the taz balance finale where merle reconnects with pan and casts zone of truth to burn away the hunger was kind of a tongue in cheek moment where clint casts his signature spell and griffin as the dm humors him by given it a huge affect. like fun but not too noteworthy. but i literally just realized what a phenomenal moment it really was. because the hunger is nihilism. it's hopelessness and pessimism. but the zone of truth dispels all lies and dishonesty. they cant exist under its spell. and that's what nihilism is. a lie. and so when merle cast zone of truth he burned away the lie of hopelessness and if you don't think that's the best thing ever i don't know what to tell you.
the whole series is good like it is set up PERFECTLY but last olympian really GOES OFF
please listen to albums someitmes youll be amazed at what an artists songs do when theyree in an order they made. for you to listen to. etc
The sad part of the poor captain’s determination to make it to England is that, in a way, it would be better if he didn’t. Because he’s bringing a vampire to a place with a lot more prey than one ship can provide.
And he doesn’t know that! He has no idea what’s killing his men, or that it would be a bad idea to let it get on shore. The captain is doing his very best to be brave and honorable in a terrifying situation, and that’s part of why it’s so tragic.
Anyway, in an AU version of this story, this would be Dracula:
Shout out to the day i killed the queen via AO3, legendary (name of the fanfic is jigens sick adventure, yes it is a sickfic)
“Awk sure I did feel while bad for the poor wee critter asking her to marry him the wee pet he was while civil :(” –my very Northern Irish mother about Seward proposing to Lucy after my gothic-literature-obsessed dad and I peer pressured her into reading Dracula
Honorable mentions were her calling Dracula’s Brides “those three bitches” and calling Seward “the hospital boy”
