Rin Shows Haruka Some Skills He Learned In The Land Down Under~

Final fantasy 16 thoughts and mild spoilers

Can’t believe there was never a moment in the game where Clive called his brother Josh. Would have been hilarious.

Also where did the Clive who was just as dotting as his mother go?

When Joshua came back, I thought Clive would do the whole big brother thing he did when he was 15 but then realize he can’t scold his adult brother anymore.

All I want is grown man Clive telling Joshua the silly times they had when they were kids. Fond memories of him and Joshua playing or something. Why don’t they share stories of their youth? The last time Clive saw his baby brother was when he was 10. No comments about his appearance or anything?

lol going through my notes I took while watching Shippuden

Im prob the only person who thought this

(Scene right after Sasuke puts Sakura in a genjutsu by punching a hole in her)

Fuck Sasuke

I hope Naruto kills him

Rips his head off for what he did to Sakura how could he

I really fucking hate him

Rei and Kazuki’s timeline and life event parallels, explained

No, they haven’t lived together for 3 years.

Episode 8 was set on August 10th. Rei turns 26.

Rei left home three years ago, I’d guess it’s around August too, give or take, so let’s say in the summer. He was 22 almost 23. Around the same age when Kazuki lost Yuzuko.

When Kazuki first met Rei, this is how he looked. His hair was past his shoulders. Given that Rei has changed a lot as a person since he left, I think he had shorter hair before, and I doubt that it was long enough to put into a ponytail. To grow one’s hair out to that length, it’ll take at least 6 months.

So Rei left home in the summer 3 years ago + 6 months (2 seasons) of hair growth, Kazuki met him in the spring of the following year. Rei was 23 and Kazuki was 25.

Judging from Kazuki’s clothes, it’s not that warm yet. It supports the theory that they met in spring.

In present time, Miri has been with them for eight months. Let’s back track their time.

First year

Rei left home in summer

Second year

Kazuki and Rei met in spring

Met Miri on Christmas Eve

Third year

It marks 3 years around August since Rei left home

Kyu brought them together for jobs, not roommates. Not on purpose, at least. So when did they start living together?

From Rei’s words here, we know what he thought of Kazuki as a partner and a person, before they became roommates. They had worked on a number of assignments together before Kazuki “started cleaning”. Give or take, they probably had worked together for at least a month or two.

Judging from Kazuki’s clothes again, it wasn’t summer yet. So let’s work the timeline again:

Second year

Kazuki and Rei met in the spring

Worked together for around 2 months before Kazuki barged into Rei’s apartment and started cleaning

Met Miri on Christmas Eve

In conclusion, by the time Miri came into the picture, they'd been roommates for around 8 months. As of episode 8, they've lived together for 1.25 years.

Life parallels

Age 22 turning 23

Kazuki lost his family, the lowest point in life

Rei left his family, the lowest point in life

Age 25 turning 26

Kazuki met Rei and decided that he’ll care for him

Rei met Miri and decided that he’ll care for her

I just think it’s neat when they do this.

I just think it’s neat when they do this.

Kazuki met Rei and started taking care of him

Rei met Miri and started taking care of her

I just think it’s neat when they do this.

I think the stage play did a decent job of adapting this two :)

Also really like the costuming too.

This is like the weirdest non-anime post I’ll make but I recently cut ties with a long time friend because she prioritized her partner over her friendships.

For the longest time I would be so confused why someone who said they were scared to lose me, would fly me out to visit them and stay up at night talking to me would also leave me on delivered for 6-8 weeks at a time. And she was so strict about that being a non-negotiable about her. She was unemployed, didn’t go to school, and didn’t have a car. She would tell me that there would be nothing going on in her life because she can’t do much but play video games at home.

I would beg her to get back to me sooner because I didn’t want her to miss out on big celebrations in my life but she almost would. However, for some reason she was there for me for emergencies.

I confronted her about it because I no longer wanted to tell her anything because the being left on delivered hurt me.

We concluded that it was an incompatibility issue but she made a statement what brought so much closure. She genuinely believed and strictly followed the principle, that if you have a partner/dating someone, you don’t need to maintain friends the traditional way. You shouldn’t share anything more about yourself or make time for others because you’re not dating them. The majority of emotional intimacy would be with the partner. Like purposefully not put effort into a friendship anymore. That’s why she was so strict and even proud of leaving majority of her friends on delivered for weeks to months on end. She told me that she compromised with me by getting back to me within 6 weeks rather than 8 weeks like what she does with her friend group. Her comments made me feel like I was being too needy for being left on delivered for 6-8 weeks at a time. Doesn’t that just fuck you up? She believed it was abnormal to check up with friends once or twice a month. It was abnormal to know how they were on a day or week to week basis because she’s not dating them.

She got a little defensive when I responded back with that it sounds like you center your partner above all else.

People sure are interesting. She said it works for her other friends, despite her not knowing them very well. Also, all of her friends are dudes who she plays video games with. I wanted to tell her maybe the reason why they don’t say anything about it is because they know you refuse to change.

In all fairness, I guess I should have noticed I was her only female friend. Also she made a comment before about how her perfect friend is someone she sees for dinner twice a year. That’s not a friend, that’s a co worker.

It must suck for Sephiroth knowing that Don Corneo got closer to sleeping with Cloud than he ever will.

Love this post but please remember same sex marriage is illegal in most East Asian countries. Maybe because I’m East Asian but only queer people would see it that way. I’m sure the animators are aware of the show’ no homo status but to the average Japanese viewer, those two women are not wlw.

Shout out to the married wlw couple sitting behind the Kurusu-Suwa family maybe gay people are real after all

I wish I had as much sexual tension with my inner demons as Cloud Strife
