Something Something Being Desperate For Validation But Terrified Of Being Perceived

Ray recalculating his meticulously crafted plan of six years to save his best friends every time Emma and Norman present him with some new bullshit

I MISS THEM

I love how Mushi-shi (the anime) depicts chronic illness through the paranormal and abstract. Ginko is literally a medicine man, and his clientele are closer to suffering an affliction than experiencing a haunting. He doesn't "exorcise the demons through prayer;" he treats the condition the person is suffering from, which often involves removing the mushi, but sometimes they need to be lived with, and sometimes even a successful treatment can leave lasting damage from the time the mushi resided in the person's body. It's the best depiction of chronic illness I've seen portrayed through an abstract lense. I'm not even learning anything about myself or my life by watching it; I just understand and appreciate each case the show portrays. Part of what sets it apart is that Mushi-shi is very good at depicting the emotional toll of chronic illness without moralizing it. Sometimes chronically ill people die of depression from their conditions, sometimes after you're cured you miss or take joy in certain elements of the disease, having a friend play with you in quarantine is invaluable for your spirit but comes at the deadly risk of contagion. I'm only 4 episodes in but it's really resonating with me. Teenage chronically ill me definitely couldn't handle this show, but 25 year old me loves it.

Sunita absolutely keeps April up to date on the latest rumours surrounding the turtles and co,

this weeks one being;

 CJ looks human because he inherited the jorogumo shapeshifting ability and the poor boy's obviously just not used to being in a yokai safe environment.

Lol i love that! I imagine the yokai that end up believing that try to be exceptionally nice to CJ, in hopes he starts feeling comfortable enough to shift out of his disguise. CJ is just super confused that week when like five different shopkeepers hand him free stuff and April's laughing more and more as they go.

Thank you!

thinking about how the grief seed madoka used to purify homura’s soul gem (3rd or 4th timeline we see?) is sayaka’s

“don’t let me turn into this” she says, holding the corrupted soul of her best friend

If you ever want some more levity during the council kidnapping storyline consider a new intern mistaking an escaped Donnie hiding from the guards for another exhausted employ and giving him some coffee

I loved this far too much for words lol. So here

Donnie has made a friend : ) (one i might have to draw again b/c they turned out really freaking cute lol)

Thank you!

More doodles for my Separated AU

just a bit of the dynamic between donnie and mikey, as they do actually know eachother. it just kinda happens when your parents are both powerful and morally questionable yokai ig

mikey is absolutely ecstatic at the idea of having a brother, meanwhile donnie views mikey more like a kind of annoying younger cousin

my poison ivy hot take is i actually think she would be some kind of weird carnivore rather than a vegetarian because she only really has empathy for plants and sees most people as meat sacks i think she would eat people is what i'm saying. what i'm saying is they should let her do sexy lesbian cannibalism
