I think the song "Rewrite the Stars" from The Greatest Showman perfectly fits Hanako and Yashiro if you reverse the genders of who's singing which part. Like, instead of Yashiro having Zendaya's part, it's Hanako due to the fact he knows that a relationship with Yashiro is pretty out of bounds and yet he can't help but adore her.
I'm sorry not sorry but I do not understand the sympathy Oushi gets in A Sign of Affection.
Sure, some people struggle with shyness and emotional availability but there is a major difference between that and straight up being a d---
Oushi is just a crappy friend and even crappier at showing someone he supposedly likes that he cares about her. As far as I'm concerned, he did it to himself. For me, Oushi is just a reflection of how a tsundere would actually be handled in real life.
He belittles her and is just a douchebag for no reason. He even learned sign language just to continue being a douche to her. And yet I see people being like, "He just loves her so much" or "Oh I feel so sorry for him---" I know I don't (lol).
I understand people have flaws, but you cannot actively mistreat someone on a consistent basis and expect them to put up with it when they have a better option. And I'm sorry to say it, but Itsuomi is the MUCH better option because he actually treats Yuki like a person---whereas Oushi treats Yuki like an inconvenience. On top of that he's also low-key abelist because he legit tries to convince Yuki that going to school wouldn't be a good idea. He acts like she'll burn like a vampire if she walks outside. I get wanting to support someone, but that doesn't involve isolating them (ahem, Hanako-Kun, ahem).
How the [BLEEP] are you gonna avoid telling your feelings to someone for TEN YEARS and then be upset when someone beats you to the punch? You can't ignore a diamond on the ground and be mad when someone else picks it up. Oushi's annoying, controlling, belittling, possessive, and hypocritical---it's a heck naw for me.
If y'all like men who have the emotional maturity of a middle school boy who thinks insulting you is the epitome of affection, then fine---but I do know this: Yuki deserves better than that. She's been through so much crap, finally finds a guy who treats her good, and Oushi wants to come mess it up because he didn't have the balls to be upfront with his feelings.
I hope what he was going to say was "I'll respect your wishes to not further this relationship, all the while I am upset you lied to me."
That would definitely be more preferable :>
Hotaru no Yomeiri
The fact there was an ikemen stand at the festival and one of the people there was a lady---and Yashiro was simping---implies Yashiro's into handsome women. Sure, you could argue she was gushing over the collective, but it's still a notable detail to me
There's a live action version of Firefly Wedding?
DON'T DO THIS TO ME. DON'T DO THIS, DON'T PLAY WITH MY HEART, DON'T PLAY WITH ME LIKE THIS---
2.5-dimensional handsome actor Shohei Hashimoto perfectly recreates the role of the “love is too heavy” killer! What is the popular manga “Hotaru no Yomeiri”?
``Firefly's Wedding'' is the latest work by Oreko Tachibana, the author of the manga ``Promise Cinderella,'' which was made into a live-action film by Fumi Nikaido and Atsushi Maeda, and became a hot topic of conversation (currently being serialized in ``Manga One''). In this work, the heroine's partner, the assassin Shinpei, became a hot topic, saying that ``love is too heavy,'' and the first volume was decided to be urgently reprinted as soon as it was released! To commemorate the release of Volume 2, the popular character Shinpei has been perfectly recreated by 2.5D actor Shohei Hashimoto. Mr. Hashimoto has appeared in many Japanese-style productions such as the musical ``Hakuouki'' and the stage play ``Touken Ranbu,'' and is a manga lover who even wrote the original story himself. We will also introduce recommended points of "Firefly's Wedding" as well as photos taken of Shinpei in Japanese clothes ♡
The time is the Meiji era. Satoko Kirigaya, the daughter of a count, is blessed with both her family name and beauty, but it has been declared that she has only a short time left to live, and her only dream is to marry in a way that will benefit her family. Meanwhile, Satoko's life is suddenly targeted by a mysterious killer, and in order to survive, she proposes to the killer, Shinpei Goto, ``Please marry me.'' It was supposed to be a one-off lie, but Shinpei is a man with a lot of love...
Q: ──I'm sure you're used to wearing Japanese clothes on stage, but what did you think of wearing a kimono inspired by Shinpei?
A: It's been a while since I've worn a kimono like this (a kimono without a haori, simply tying an obi), so I was very happy, and there's something exciting about photographing kimonos. This time, I was playing the role of a killer, so I had a lot of fun filming it, thinking that I shouldn't let my excitement show too much.
Q: ──You showed off various facial expressions and postures, but what points did you pay attention to in order to bring out Shinpei's uniqueness?
A: I was struck by the way Shinpei-kun's head is tilted, as if he's relaxed and relaxed, so I kept this atmosphere in mind when designing his stance. The rest is the eyes. In fact, before filming, the author, Tachibana Oreko, gave me this advice to my editor: ``Anyway, I hope you give me dead eyes...''
Q:──Mr. Hashimoto, what impressions did you have when you read “Hotaru no Yomeiri”?
A: I thought it was going to be a girls' manga as a genre, but there are scenes where people are cut with swords and it's surprisingly cruel, so it's different from the girls' manga I had imagined! I was surprised with. Because of the battle scenes, it's very easy to read even for someone like me who came from a youth magazine. Of course, it's about the love story between Satoko and Shinpei, but it also has suspense elements like who orchestrated Satoko's kidnapping in the first place, so I think it's a fun manga to explore.
Q:──What scene in particular captured your heart because of the beauty of the painting?
A: The scene where Shinpei-kun and Satsuko-san watch fireflies together. I especially love the scene in Volume 2 where Shinpei-kun releases fireflies into Satsuko-san's room. Another unforgettable scene is the scene where the two kiss for the first time. There are many people lying around who were killed by Shinpei-kun, and the two figures are reflected in the pool of blood. Although the situation is cruel, it is a very nice expression and I think it is beautiful. It's so fascinating that you can't help but look into every corner of it.
Q: ──Mr. Hashimoto, what kind of character did you think of Shinpei?
A: At first, you get the strong impression that Shinpei-kun is kind of a "dangerous person," but as you read on, you'll find that he's surprisingly cute. I thought this gap made him a really fun character. For example, the scene at the beginning where Satoko is saved from a villain while she is locked up in a prison. He escapes by jumping off a tall building, and I really like his poignant expression. He even makes an expression like this! (laughs) After all, love is heavy! Looking at Shinpei-kun makes me think that love and madness may be a thin line.
Q: Mr. Hashimoto, you sometimes demonstrate your swordsmanship on stage, but what impression did you get of Shinpei's sword technique?
A; This first sword line is depicted in the scene where Shinpei-kun saves Satsuko-san. I really like his style of cutting with his legs wide open. In the case of kimono, there is a style of slashing without showing your legs, but when I played Hajime Saito in ``Hakuoki'', I also slashed with my legs wide open. Also, although Shinpei-kun looks rough, he has a surprisingly delicate expression on his sword. For example, this sword technique that involves returning the sword in a detailed manner. It gives the impression of a mixture of movement and stillness.
Q: ──If ``Hotaru no Yomeiri'' were ever made into a stage play and Mr. Hashimoto was chosen to play Shinpei, how would you like to play him?
A; I want to firmly express Shinpei-kun's dual nature. Shinpei-kun may be saying what he really means, but if you look at him from the outside, you can't see the bottom of his heart. I would like to act with this in mind.
*adds to list of places I wanna go to but will never actually visit*
I think I'm tripping but something is not right here. What in the hyuck have they done to my people? 😭
I'm sorry, but I can't say I dig the new look because it kinda screams 'corporate' to me (which I guess durr---of course it is because a corporation is making it, but still) and it feels like their personalities are just...less present.
I can't even be mad at the daughter here, I completely agree with her reaction in the photo. Even she knows better.
I could at least easily bypass their new appearance because obviously people physically change over time, especially after having kids, but there's one aspect of this trailer that I dislike the most---believe it or not.
Character designs aside, even if they somehow were to be objectively good, there was NO reasons for them to turn the mirror on the wall into TikTok---not with the material they picked.
Not everything that's modern needs to be inserted. And even if so, at least do SOMETHING a teeny bit more tasteful with it. I would be at LEAST be more open to ignoring the character changes if they didn't put in THAT. I definitely don't agree with bullying the animators because the medium is hard, but my gosh---why the TikTok?
"Shrek had modern stuff in the other movies---" Yeah, but they weren't clips of a badly generated Shrek straight up twerking on the screen in latex.
If adding modern things for the sake of adding modern things is the formula for peak movies, then why is the Emoji Movie such a bad film? You can have modern stuff in movies, but at least have it be a well written addition.
The only thing that's gonna make me potentially forgive the TikTok thing is if (and this is a huge if for me) the plot is actually decent. Not even good---just let it be decent PLEASE.
People complain about how Leon Kennedy (specifically in the Resident Evil 4 remake) shuts down Ashley's attempts to flirt/compliment him. Some take it as him being blunt, some take it as him not liking her, and some think he's plain dense. I personally choose to interpret it as him just trying to keep his job by not flirting with the client. He's being paid to protect, not be her boyfriend. I think most people would be hesitant to reciprocate interest in the daughter of a man who could easily order a national manhunt for your skull as he calls for secret service.
This might be out of left field and I know I'm INCREDIBLY late for commenting on this topic, but I now wholeheartedly understand why people were such zealous shippers for Jack Frost x Elsa back then and even now (the shippers are still alive and kicking).
I don't know about anyone else, but aside from the whole ice x ice dynamic (and the whole thing with ROTG not knowing how canonically old they wanna make Jack), I personally think it's actually a rather great pairing if we look at from a story telling angle.
Aside from the obvious tragic nature of Elsa falling for an immortal being (not like we haven't gobbled up pairings like that before), I think a relationship---or heck, even a friendship would've been a great thing for both of them. ESPECIALLY if we're talking about how Elsa was as a person early on in the movies.
Now, that's not to say I agree with the whole, "dating to fix the other person" thing, but I do headcanon that Jack probably would've helped Elsa realize she can be who she truly is. In more ways than one, I think they would've influenced each other to be better people and help each other regarding their isolation since they both start off as characters disconnected from the world(s) around them.
Especially now that Elsa can ALSO communicate with the wind who's dubbed Gale (how convenient, Disney), I think it gives them more ground to work with and would allow these characters to relate each other in ways other characters may not be able to with them.
I understand if people DON'T ship it, but you gotta admit there's a LOT of juice to squeeze from these two (fanon-ically) interacting.
Guess it's time to make a fanfiction for Marvel's Moon Knight.
Your harassing neighbor dies. Then a bullying coworker dies in a crash. Within a month, people you’ve had bad blood with start dying. The police are watching you closely—but you haven’t done anything… at least, not that you know of.
Hi! I saw your post concerning 'the dark and brooding' love interest. I have to say that's the smartest thing I've seen all day.
What are the main things you want more in Literature?
Mine would be to have more LGBTQ couples and Neurodivergent people having more main character privileges
Something I want more in literature is for characters to just be characters and not archetypes.
Sure, have all the 'representation' all you want, but if they're not fleshed out, then it's just commercialization.
"Look, we have a gay character---"
Okay but are they are person?
"Look, we have an interracial couple----"
Okay but do they have goals and interests?
"Look, we have this obscure group----"
Okay, but do they ACTUALLY have THOUGHTS and FEELINGS?
As a black lady myself, it feels like a slap in the face when writers aren't creative with making black characters or at the very least fleshing us out. This is why Tiana from Princess in the Frog is lit. Because she had goals, ambitions, and didn't let Naveeen get away with his bullcrap.
