this is INSANE. WOOOOOOW.
(Its been 3 million years since my last fma art and it’s also a bit late for oct 3 but i managed to finish an art! Yippie
what i love about giyuu tomioka is how full of love he is. even when he doesn't believe he deserves to be happy, it's so easy for him to take care of tanjirou and nezuko. it's natural for him to want to protect and save those he can. being loving and heroic is just who giyuu is.
vinland saga 218 broke my heart. i have no clue what is going to happen in the next chapters. all i know is i don’t want thorfinn to cry like that ever again. literally the worst thing i could ever see. thorfinn works so hard and just wants to be happy but is always having to deal with something awful. i feel so sick.
vinland saga s2 ep8 is so far my favorite episode of the series. so beautiful to see thorfinn finally acknowledge his emptiness, but have people tell him that you CAN find something to live for. that he CAN change. slowly, he's starting to allow himself to feel again. after the first few episodes, which show us how defeated he is, it's so nice to see him upset about what happened to their farm. thorfinn's gradual curiosity about farming and his small attempts at opening himself up have made me so emotional. i can't wait till the day he can smile again <3
Never forget when a nerd from my high school when I was 17 and he was 16 or so said "women can't write shonen" and then two minutes later he said his favorite anime/manga was Fullmetal Alchemist. Never forget his face when my friend and I told him to check out who the author of that manga was. Never forget
this episode was absolutely incredible i just had to come and write about it. the entire season, in my opinion, has been so well done. hashira training arc has always been a favorite of mine and seeing it brought to life has been amazing!
episode 8 was the icing on the cake to an amazing season. one of my favorite things about kny is how it discusses humanity and mortality. this final ep did such a great job at showing the power of human emotions.
kagaya stands amongst the many demon slayer corp members who have passed while he speaks to muzan about the concept of eternity. as we all know, humans don't live forever and this is very prominent in demon slayer. however, kagaya understands how powerful feelings can be. although many people will die, their dreams and hopes will continue. kagaya does not fear death because he understands his goal will live through the hashira.
this LINE is one of my favorites ever. for as long as muzan has existed, not one person has forgiven him for what he has done. the anger and grief that people have felt live forever. muzan believes humans are disgusting, inferior creatures but at this moment, kagaya shows that humans are something to be feared. muzan can never understand the lifelong anger humans are capable of. not one person will ever forget what muzan has done, they will never forgive him, they will never show him kindness. humans have used their anger & hatred to dedicate themselves to ending muzan. muzan will never understand this concept. all of these lanterns represent the lives muzan has ruined, falling down all around him while he stands unbothered. there are HUNDREDS of lanterns that float around muzan, so many lives that he has ruined, yet he does not care. but that doesn't matter, because the power of feelings are greater than muzan's indifference. THE POWER OF THE HUMAN SPIRIT IS GREATER THAN MUZAN.
the art in this scene was insane. the tiger and the dragon morphing into the hashira was done so well. for so long, kagaya has waited for this moment to take down muzan and we see in this scene how the goals and feelings of the hashira have formed into a beast of its own. despite muzan living for so long, he can never comprehend the power of human emotions. as i said before, human emotions have the ability to transcend time. humans affect one another; they understand their lives are short, yet live to pursue their own goals no matter what. this is what muzan does not understand.
this scene was so well done i can't get enough of it. this was such a great episode and is definitely my favorite one so far! the manga was already amazing and then ufotable was able to animate it into this insane piece of media i can't get over it!!
overall 10/10 scene. 10/10 episode. i love demon slayer.
he's means so much to me
"It's you"
"Despite everything, it's still you"
yearning is such a beautiful thing. what i love about yearning and slowburn is that while the romance progresses, you can get to know the characters better, which makes the audience see how deep the bond in the relationship is. all the small moments have meaning. every interaction, every thought, and every glance means something and is a way to emphasize how much love (platonic or romantic) the characters have for one another. there is something so beautiful about yearning because it's so human to want something so badly, but you have a part of you that is afraid you'll never get it. romantic or not, i love watching/reading characters find their person and learning all about each other, becoming so close and connected that it's hard to imagine life without the other. yearning to know more, yearning to be closer. it's so beautiful to me!
to discover new stories and fall in love with them is a gift. to consume media in such a deep way is my favorite. new perspectives, new feelings, just a unique way to explore the world. i love characters. i love stories. i love friendships, romance, found family. i love it all.
my favorite recurring kyoru moment is tohru hitting kyo with her pompom scarf
