Okay, I just caught up on Apothecary Diaries, and while this show always has dark themes (and is quite frankly a masterclass in how they can be handled), the ending of s2e33 was ... Damn. I mean, talk about a taste of your own medicine.
Anytime I'm concerned about fucking something up, I remember that this made it into an academic text and I suddenly don't feel so bad anymore.
Chapter 14 is live! Fandom: All For The Game - Nora Sakavic
Chapter Exerpt:
“Kevin! Jean! Just the guys I was looking for!” Neil said. “Who’s on Tetsuji duty today?”
Jean instantly pointed at Kevin before the older man could realize what was asked. He smacked his hand away and looked at Neil. “What are you on about?”
“Ichirou is coming Monday and since you’re on Tetsuji duty, you’re voluntarily drafted to tell him about the meeting. Congratulations!”
“He really did some damage when he knocked you out this time, didn’t he?”
“I severely doubt there is anything in his skull to damage,” Jean replied.
“Haha. Bite me.”
Blue Thryssa after the events of Season 3: Are you fucking kidding me?! Seriously?! Anything else?!

"Mindset of a ruler." Proceeds to be completely whipped for Baam.
Take their relationship as platonic or romantic; he's still whipped either way.
TOWER OF GOD - Khun Aguero Agnes -
"I will not be ruled. I make my own rules. That is the mindset of a ruler."
I like that there is a legitimate reason to explain how a technique works in JJK. We all know it's just a trope in anime to call out/explain abilities and a quick way for the author to inform the reader/viewer what's going on. But making it so that explaining a technique makes it stronger is a creative way to incorporate that trope and provides a believable reason as to why a character would be willing to explain their attacks to an opponent without it enturely being an actual detriment.
So, I've been reading the webtoon for Tower of God after watching the anime and came across something that I'm sure is unintentional, but hilarious none the less. In ep. 101 of the Webtoon, Rak says "Son of a turtle," which implies that "turtle" equates at least loosely to "bitch." So Rak has been calling everyone "bitch" the entire time and I think that just makes it so much funnier.
So, i was doing some research for my fic, Dead Ringer, (don't ask) and ... da fuck you mean the Yakuza got busted for trafficing nuclear material in New York?! Like, I know January was nuts, but I'm surprised that slipped right by unnoticed.
I know Kaz gets a lot of shit for calling Inej and investment in Six of Crows, but if you take into account the culture he grew up in, it's actually really sweet. Hear me out. When you acknowledge just how important commerce is in Kerch, and particularly Ketterdam, it adds a lot more meaning behind the seemingly throwaway line. Commerce is more than just financial in that culture. It's spiritual. This is a place where the main god is Ghezen, the god of industry and commerce. Their main church is literally called the Church of Barter. Saying someone is an investment in a culture like that would have way deeper implications than simply a surface level business transaction. It's someone you'd want to take care of and protect. Someone you'd want to see succeed and keep close enough to reap the benefit from that success. Someone you'd put time and effort into. It wouldn't be surprising if marriage or having children would be considered an investment in that culture because, to them, it wouldn't cheapen the emotional value of these things but highlight just how important those relationships are. It's not surprising that this goes over Inej's head (and most of the other characters' heads) because she's not from that culture. But for someone who is, it would show just how important his relationship to her is to him. Especially considering he says this while he's putting himself in danger (and probaby a lot of pain considering his leg) just to save her and keep her safe.
“Perfect timing! Arlene, Zahard, who’s your non-human hear me out character?”
The Thirteen Great Warriors have some downtime on their climb up the Tower and end up on the topic of their "hear me out" characters.
(All answers were found on Reddit and I am now scarred for life.)
“I was minding my own business, taking advantage of the hot springs around here, and that little fucker inked me!”
Or one of the many shenanigans that happened while the Thirteen Great Warriors were climbing the Tower.
