I Think Of M1tsuba/sousuke And Mit2uba/no.3 The Same Way Kou Thinks Of Them. Like, Yeah, Theyre Different

maybe someone pointed this out already but this hananene and mitsukou parallel goes insanely hard

that's fair but like we don't really know what's going on behind the scenes so we don't have much of a day on how close they are. I don't think they're shallow, I think it's just that yokoo and satou are close friends but that's about it; I guess that's what you're saying?

in ashk, they literally forgot each other's first names lmao so yeah

they just need more time together; and personally I think them not being the type of ship to sacrifice themselves for each other is more of a reason for them being healthy rather than the opposite iykwim

ive been seeing a lot of tbhk ship analysis' and ive come to the conclusion that almost every single tbhk ship has something wrong it. something fucked up

I know😭😭😭 I wish I could stop reading for a bit, like sometimes I do forget about the updates but I'll see some random post and get dragged back into the bsd hellhole against my will🙏 every chapter review I've had for the past 2 years always have me raving about jouno when will it be his turn god if you hear me🙏🙏🙏

bsd 122 spoilers

bsd 122 in 4 words or less is basically, let's wrap this shit up. let's just go dawgs

bsd is literally just sskk's love story because what is this

Inlove typa shi bro

and then. What in the actual fuck. I didn't really expect that. bsd really loves their plot twists with no clear foreshadowing/set up

(tHeRe lIteRaLlY iS yOu juST—) WELL SORRY I DIDN'T NOTICE besides it's not exactly "no set up" it's just idk. I'm not sure what to call it. maybe unnecessary? but then again it's good for atsushi's character development but I feel like we already established that in the chapter where dazai tells him "but a child cries when a father dies". Ig it's also a representation that even if that's the case the memory of him will never leave him

It's kinda scary to think that Q's ability is still in effect even if it's just side effects but still wtf

also I guess what I mean by unnecessary is that well, can we just wrap this shit up please I want the british arc and verlaine gets out of the damn basement arc; like bsd was always a fantasy but this shi is really getting off rails now, I liked the balance between the real world and the abilities but now it's just what the fuck why are we in the 4th dimension. I miss the silly detective work :(

and dawg I WANNA SEE JOUNO POV SOMEONE ELSE'S POV PLEASE (JOUNOJOUNOJOUNOJOUNOJOUNO) If asagiri just makes a little mention on his 'funeral' and move on I'll jot down on his door. Asagiri if jouno doesn't come back soon, you WILL find me in front of your doorstep

So I've been reading this insanely amazing Webtoon that has quickly become my favourite of all time. I'm also normal about women

The death of a dream

I think for the first time I will talk about Shijima, even if her story is one of the ones that moves me the most.

Seeing her trying for the last time to do what she loves the most, and trying to immortalize it with lines and colors on paper. The tower, crooked, as if representing her trying to use all the effort she has to stay upright, even if the tower could fall at any moment. And even if it did fall, she would still be there, inside that tower, where her happiness would live.

Her desire to be happy didn't exactly only create another world, but another version of herself, because in her eyes the world is good and she was the one who couldn't keep up, so she recreated herself in a world where it would be possible to be happy, even in a tower about to fall.

Imagining herself in another world, in another place… in a place where she could be herself, even if it wasn't real, still brought joy.

Shijima's story also reminds me of the first Harry Potter book. The orphan boy who one day found a magic mirror that reflected what he most desired. He saw his parents, who had died to save him when he was a baby.

And Harry went there every night and day, over and over again, to be by their side, to see them smile for the first and countless times. Until Dumbledore, the professor, discovered and told him that dreams bring us joy, take us to the sweetest and deepest pleasure of living what we could never.

But it wasn't worth it to always be dreaming and forgetting to live.

At that time, it didn't make sense to me. Who would choose to stay in the real world? But the truth is that dreaming kills your hopes little by little.

Until you have none left.

Mei dreamed that Shijima would live, she did what had to be done, she stayed in the dream that Shijima made for her, but she never came back.

The wish that she had lost hope.

Tsukasa gave her the freedom to finally have enough strength to stop dreaming.

Shijima never stopped smiling, not because she was resigned to death, but because she knew that the dream would one day come to an end, but she wanted at least one version of her to be happy.

The tower, Shijima's last painting, was the representation of the happiness that she wanted to immortalize.

She was happy while she was alive, and she became eternal in the form that she loved most, painting.

Stopping dreaming is so hard. Watching the world fall apart makes it feel like you're falling apart with it. But it's necessary.

It's better to stop dreaming before you lose hope.

When hope dies, not even the world of dreams makes sense anymore.

Nothing does.

One day Harry Potter would realize that his parents were already dead, and he would have died with them if he had just kept dreaming about something he could never have.

But, just like Shijima, he knew the right moment to break the world of dreams. The boy who found the magic mirror that had been hidden in the deepest part of the castle, for having killed the hope of so many others.

Mei thought that "killing" Shijima would be the best way to break the dream

But killing her would bring nothing but negative feelings. Killing a dream won't bring you peace.

Accepting that it was good while it lasted will bring you true freedom. Like what actually happened.

She accepted that the dream was over, and went to face reality. Shijima accepted death, and Mei accepted that she is the part of Shijima that she wanted to live and be remembered, no matter how she was remembered.

I love how Aidairo make reality so raw and strong and how it reflects so well on them. How Amane "killed" his dreams, when he lost hope, how he quickly realized that the world was fake.

Because that happiness was so unreal to him.

Even if Mei had put him in a world where it would be just him and Tsukasa, happy as it should have been in the past, he would have known it was fake.

Because he no longer had hope, he killed hope when he raised the knife to Tsukasa.

When he spent so much time trying to change the past, trying to make things work out, trying to save his brother at all costs and at any sacrifice.

When he realized that going to the moon was no longer possible.

When he decided not to go anywhere.

He didn't give Tsukasa his freedom, like Mei gave Shijima - even if forced initially - or, Tsukasa himself didn't give Amane the freedom to leave, when he decided to sacrifice himself.

Amane was supposed to die.

Shijima was supposed to die.

But dreams made they postpone it.

In the end, reality still came.

And it's never easy. But at least accepting it completely is less painful than dreaming and losing everything in the end.

Seeing that none of it was real.

You're now drowning in reality and embracing the pain of a dream that never happened, but that you miss. And since that dream never came true, you lose hope.

What's there for you now besides reality?

It doesn't matter, you're not going anywhere.

Like Dumbledore said,

“It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live”

Sometimes, it takes a while to accept even that.

But it's needed.

some shitty soukokus

GOODNESS THERE ARE SO MANY PIECES OF MEDIAS I WANNA GET INTO/BACK TO BUT I CANT I CANT WHY CANT I

Just to be clear while I do find Montresor interesting, I don't exactly like him, but

Goddamn

Looks at that half up half down, omfgggg, he should've kept it in Nevemore, but then Will might get a hard attack if he saw how fine his greasy man can be. And his beautifully beady black, soulless eyes. And just to clarify, I'm not weird like that, but his priest uniform(?) is the best he's ever looked

Slightly wish that was me. You know what, I genuinely wish that was me. Idjdidkdl

.... I'm finding a blond man attractive there is no hope for me and I pray everyday from now I will be cured of this
