When You’re In The Prettiest Character Competition And Your Opponent Is Kanda Yu

Support me on PATREON | Ko-fi ☕

Invalid reasons for why a character should not be redeemed:

They’re too evil! - Redemption has nothing to do with how good or evil you were to begin with.

They don’t deserve it! - Redemption is not something that can be “deserved.”

Their actions are unforgivable! - Redemption has nothing to do with forgiveness.

It’s too late for them to change! - It is only “too late” to choose redemption when a character is dead (unless the scope of the story includes an afterlife in which change is possible).

Valid reasons for why a character should not be redeemed:

It doesn’t fit the themes of the story.

They’re not an important enough character for showing the process of a redemption arc to be worthwhile.

They’re more interesting as a character who isn’t doing the right thing.

It’s more satisfying to let them keep being evil.

It makes it more satisfying when they die.

There’s probably more, but you get the idea.

Remember, redemption is when someone realizes they are wrong, and takes steps to doing the right thing. That is not something that can be “deserved,” it is not something that hinges on forgiveness, and it is not something that it is ever too late for! …Unless the person is dead or something.

Things that will make your computer meaningfully faster:

Replacing a HDD with an SSD

Adding RAM

Graphics cards if you're nasty

Uninstalling resource hogs like Norton or McAfee (if you're using Windows then the built-in Windows Security is perfectly fine; if you're using a mac consider bitdefender as a free antivirus or eset as a less resource intensive paid option)

Customizing what runs on startup for your computer

Things that are likely to make internet browsing specifically meaningfully faster:

Installing firefox and setting it up with ublock origin

adding the Auto Tab Discard extension to firefox to sleep unused tabs so that they aren't constantly reloading

Closing some fucking tabs bud I'm sorry I know it hurts I'm guilty of this too

Things that will make your computer faster if you are actually having a problem:

Running malwarebytes and shutting down any malicious programs it finds.

Correcting disk utilization errors

Things that will make your computer superficially faster and may slightly improve your user experience temporarily:

Clearing cache and cookies on your browser

Restarting the computer

Changing your screen resolution

Uninstalling unused browser extensions

Things that do not actually make your computer faster:

Deleting files

Registry cleaners

Defragging your drive

Passively wishing that your computer was faster instead of actually just adding more fucking RAM.

This post is brought to you by the lady with the 7-year-old laptop that she refuses to leave overnight for us to run scans on or take apart so that we can put RAM in it and who insists on coming by for 30-minute visits hoping we can make her computer faster.

“sorry reo, in the end wanting to be the world’s best wasn’t as strong a feeling as my fear of BEING SEPARATED FROM YOU.”

i am literally crying bro, nagi really just wanted to be with reo forever and play football. the endless apologies and reo saying not to apologize as SOON as nagi was abt to say sorry for breaking their promise. SHUUTUUT UPP😭😭😭 not strong enough for this lord

after nagi’s river of apologies… then reo apologies for everything… THEN NAGI SAYING HE WAS HAPPY BEING BY HIS SIDE WHATTTT. the tear drop on the grass with them reflected on it is insane… and the speech bubbles being all wobbly for reo’s words can’t do this no more ,,, voy a gritar :)

bro also reo looks so beautiful crying what sorry- heartbreaking tho…

the icing on the cake was nagi calling his time with reo the treasure of his life. the flashbacks … omg the flashbacks literally they cannot be separated from each other they need each other so so so bad… nagi holding his wrist not his gloved hand BYEEEE. Too Many Tears came out this chapter it is actually devastating wow.

deadass left my lecture at school cause i was literally crying reading this . these two have such a HARD EFFECT ON ME DONTTALKTOME and i still crying.

Why did “be critical of your media” turn into “find all its flaws and hate it” why did people become allergic to FUN

Hey, don’t cry. Free online database of Japanese folk lore

there’s something so hopeful about akutagawa no longer being weighed down by dazai’s words and free from his inherent manipulation due to his amnesia….and with this he is able to truly show us the maximum power of his own ability, unrestrained and untainted from dazai’s expectations of him.

previously, aku was only focused on getting stronger because it was dazai who was pushing him, dazai who was experimenting with him to truly bring out the potential he saw.

but now, aku has someone else to protect. he is a “martyr” for justice, as he said when he wielded the sword. bram’s resolve has manifested into a mindset that will truly take advantage of akutagawa’s inherent nature to defend and protect. like he did with his friends in the slums. like he does with his sister.

now we will all truly get to see just how powerful he can be. what his resolve is made of.

“i wanna be the nagi reo wants me to be”

“reo….. reo….. reo”

what is going on the field? like nagi chanting reo’s name is actually insane.. nagi gonna get fired up next chapter and show reo the new nagi, the one that fascinates reo just like how nagi is fascinated by him ,,, let’s be so fr tho nagi could be a roach and reo would still love and be in awe abt him

reo automatically APOLOGIZING to nagi for scoring his own goal,,, he is so selfless like no no reo you have to jump in the air and CHEER BE PROUD ilovehim </3

but people saying like nagi backstory incoming but … literally nagi’s life started as soon as he met reo so like it would deadass be montage of reo’s iconic big smile 😭
