“Yes I Can Give You A Reason To Live” Said The Man With The Most Dead Inside Stare In Human History

azula's character introduction will always remain iconic

Matthais being killed essentially by a younger version of himself will never fail to make me sad. Even in SoC, I always had a bit of a soft spot for him. I'm not sure why, but I just...did, I guess? And I was so happy when he made it over his hurdles in SoC. When he finally accepted how much he actually adored Nina.

But mostly, it's him coming to terms with the fact that maybe Grisha aren't all that bad. I absolutely loved his arc of overcoming his own prejudices. I also love how it isn't very rushed. His acceptance didn't feel sudden to me, it made perfect sense when it happened considering everything, at least in my opinion.

I only watched season 1 and a bit of season 2 of Shadow and Bone, so if it's different in the series (which I wouldn't know myself because I don't really remeber the show other than somehow squishsing the Crows in with the main story,) disregard this post.

bokuto’s very patient!

Dabbing is outdated, but I did reference the movements from a dancing rat. This is the Meursault arc. This could be Fyodor's little victory dance. I'm late to this trend but I still want to do it :D

Anyway now that America is over we can definitely say Catch-22 was the Great American Novel and it isn't even close. Banger quotes in literally every paragraph. Ugh. Delicious.

the accuracy omg 😭

THIS! Since he succeeded in realizing it was his people teaching this prejudice, not his faith, he didn't have to lose that important part of himself to become less prejudiced. And he probably wouldn't have anyways, but still. Some would've distanced themselves from all of it to become a better person or might've had to. But he didn't.

Really, really need people to understand how important it is that Matthias kept his faith while unlearning the toxic beliefs that people had instilled in him. That’s really important to his character actually.

Sorry if I missed some details, it's early, but...

Just because Dazai didn't constantly beat up Akutagawa doesn't mean he didn't abuse him. Dazai was cruel to another child. Akutagawa was never good enough for Dazai, no matter what he did. This was all such a constant that Akutagawa's sole purpose in life became pleasing/getting some praise from Dazai. Do people not realize how sad that is? And then when Dazai resurfaces with Atsushi, actually praising him and treating him well....

It's the only logical explanation, imo, as to why Akutagawa had such a visceral initial reaction to Atsushi. It's why he hated so strongly. It's also the reason why he abused Kyouka.

This post is NOT justifying Akutagawa's actions, or anyone's really. I'm just saying. I say a screenshot where someone said Dazai didn't abuse Akutagawa, and it got me kinda ranting ngl.

I always read this as Mariah Carey going "it's TIIIIIIMEEE."

Idk why I needed to say that-

We need more percabeth friendship.

Percy and Annabeth sending letters to each other after the summer session

Percy asking if Annabeth if she wants to go the movies while getting flustered because it sounds like a date and it’s totally not a date

Percy buying random knick knacks for Annabeth because they reminded him of her

Percy asking his mom if they could make Annabeth cookies before he goes to camp for the summer

Annabeth learning how to skateboard and play basketball

Annabeth visiting the beach as often as she can when in San Fransisco because it reminds her of Percy

Percy and Annabeth getting into long winded debates about something silly and bursting out into laughter when they realize it’s been three hours

Annabeth bribing the Hermes cabin to get some cans of Blue Cherry Coke for her and Percy to share on his first night of camp

Annabeth admitting that she misses Percy sometimes to his face and he says something cheesy like ‘remember that we’re under the same sky’

Annabeth and Percy talking to their classmates, subconsciously slipping in a tidbit about the other

Annabeth and Percy sitting together when they make their camp beads

Percy and Annabeth just being such good friends, that when they realize that they’re in love, they know it was only a matter of time
