I have a lot of Jean and Judit feels!! and those days they spent at the Whirling-in-Rags, watching Harry....
Don't take your partner for granted 😔
Obito…every day that goes by, I get older than you. Isn’t that just awful?
But, you know what…? I’m going to try my best to live for you, too.
Sooo I binge-watched all 50 subbed episodes of Astro Boy (2003) and I cried a whole lot and ended up desperately hoping Dr Tenma gets proper psychiatric care and wishing that someday, maybe, if Atom's okay with it, they can try and reconcile on more equal footing...
My headcanon is that Dr. Tenma is both on the autism spectrum and suffers from severely unmedicated bipolar disorder (which he frequently Refuses to be medicated on so his episodes often are mixed type with psychotic features). His most consistent psychotic features are delusions of megalomania and grandiosity consistent to a typical manic episode, but also paranoid delusions that the government is gonna get him/steal his work/use it in a way he doesn't agree with and that robots are going to turn on him and humanity. he also has auditory hallucinations that devalue him and others, and compel him to do bad things to himself and others. As the years go on and he remains poorly medicated, the auditory hallucinations stop going away, and are always going on, and the baseline paranoia remains no matter what. he functionally develops schizoaffective disorder ;;
I like to think that after the show's wrapped up Ochanomizu (and maybe Atom, too) vouch those in positions of authority to Get Dr Tenma Medicated and maybe, with time and patience and stability, he can finally reach euthymia. Or, at least, become stable enough that he can properly apologize to Atom.... a guy can dream ;-;
Atom's such a good kid. He deserves the world okay!!!!!!!
Doing what? the twitch of Itachi’s eyebrow said, but the boy said nothing.
The genjutsu was subtle: the widening of his jaw, the thickening of that slender neck. The Akatsuki cloak gave his shoulders a broader girth, too. All an illusion to make Itachi look older than his fourteen years. Kisame was not fooled, but he was amused. He wondered how long Itachi had been casting it, renewing it, slowly aging it until even he himself had forgotten the youth of his face.
“You’ll grow into it, I suppose,” Kisame murmured.
Itachi emitted a subvocal noise of annoyance. Kisame laughed and brushed past him. He’d killed all his partners and he’d likely end up killing this boy, too. But until then, he’d enjoy provoking the farce until his facade fell. What fun it was to live in such interesting times!
(Based on my headcanon that Itachi had a long-running genjutsu of himself at all times, which would explain why Itachi always looked so damn old in everyone’s memory even though he was supposed to be thirteen when he massacred his clan.)
