I have never read a more excellent article

This is a great take and I would like to adopt “Feelings Yakuza” in English actually, I feel like it conveys the whole thing way more obviously than “anti” (not to mention the muddled meaning of “proshipper”).

#spot on #I am impressed how calmly the author handled the situation to not only not let it hurt them #but also make something good out if it in for of this article #fandom wars over ships were always not fun for me

Realizing that Spy X Family really is The Anya Show to me, and not just because "oh look, cute baby child" but because Anya is the center of the story. She has so many secrets resting on those tiny shoulders. She is juggling so many agendas. She's the one who knows everything and her choices drive the plot—she chose Twilight, she chose Yor, she chose Bond—and even when you look at the other characters and their relationships she IS the star they orbit around! Twilight and Yor's relationship is built on their shared care for Anya! And more than that, at the core of it all, Anya's goals are the ones we're invested in.

The center of this story isn't the superspy trying to do his job, or the assassin trying to do hers. It's the little girl who said "FAMILY" and pulled the building-blocks of one close around her with all her tiny strength, and everyone else in this story keeps being moved and changed and redirected by the force of Anya's attachments to her family.

And at the same time she is SO SMALL.

from observations, I feel like many people took “history books are full of propaganda” and ran with it and instead of more deeply investigating history from varying sources, they just don’t know jack shit about history

headspace-hotel

I need everyone that has ever talked about “overthrowing capitalism” to understand that

people have tried to create a peaceful, oppression-free society before, but it turns out that’s really hard.

The reasons it’s really hard are almost entirely practical and many of them are the boring and logistical sort of practical.

Change happens incrementally. Revolutions and revolts…they happen when people hit the breaking point. But the idea that they throw out an old society completely and create a new one from scratch is itself propaganda. They don’t always result in a better society. They always result in a deeply flawed society. Also people die. Very often the most powerful people don’t die, and sometimes they end up powerful in the new society.

also there are things you didn’t learn about in history class that nobody was trying to hide from you

(there are definitely things some people sometimes ARE trying to hide from you, and that was even more true in the pre-Internet days when it was easier. I’m not saying it never happens. but it’s not always the reason)

if your teacher is trying to cover all of…I don’t know, Modern European History™, they might not have time- between wars and economic crises that impacted the fate of nations -to get into Virginia Woolf’s gay love letters. that doesn’t mean they’re ~hiding her as part of a homophobic conspiracy~. it just means they have a lot to cram into like six months to give teenagers some vague understanding of the events that shaped our society

I see a lot of people on here like “why didn’t I learn about [historical figure who is important in the history of an oppressed group but didn’t have a huge impact on the Big Picture of the world] in school?” and other people responding “you know why…” and like

sometimes. but definitely not always

Turns out trying to cram 7,000 years of human civilisation into a 45 minute class period before lunch has issues.

Look. School is supposed to be cliff notes. Primary, secondary, they’re a basic toolset. You’re supposed to go on from there. And no, I don’t mean tertiary, I mean far, far beyond. I mean keep feeding your goddamn brain and exploring everything. School gave you enough to function in a basic society snapshot, now go make it a better one.

turns out one of the most bullshit parts of school is that after it’s over, it’s on you to learn all the shit they didn’t or couldn’t teach you

On the bright side, continuing to learn things indefinitely & making it easier for other people to also learn things is at least one part of how you make that better world you’re striving for.

Hey remember when Ri Jeong Hyeok went grocery shopping to stock Yoon Seri's kitchen because he knew she had trouble eating and was worried she would starve herself after he went back to North K?

The way it paralleled the gifts and celebrations Seri set up before she almost left NK... because she wanted him to be happy?

And when he knew she struggled with depression and took sleeping pills to deal with insomnia, so he recorded himself playing the song he wrote for his brother that actually saved her life in Switzerland because it was the best he could do to stay by her side and protect her?

And remember when he spelled out I LOVE YOU YOU SERI with books the way she did? And then he wrote out hundreds of texts ahead of time and sent them on a time delay so that Yoon Seri would get messages for a whole year telling her to eat and go on a walk with him and take care of herself... and then, he scheduled someone to deliver her a potted plant, so they would bloom before the last text... and he made her say 10 nice words to the plant every day just like she made him do to the tomato plant?

And then in the last text, just as the small white flowers were in bloom, he told her he would be trying to find her in Switzerland where the Eidlewiess grows. And then another year at least passes, but he DOES. He finds her the way he always does. And she crash lands (descends) in just the right spot... like she always does.

BECAUSE I REMEMBER IT. AND IM NEVER GETTING OVER IT.

REAL LIFE WILL NEVER BE THAT PERFECT.

opening up my own fanfiction document on my personal laptop to see if the author has updated it yet

My xxxHolic movie photo book arrived today and I’m speechless - it’s so beautiful.

Now my live action movie collection is almost complete, only the actual movie missing :D

#no words to comment this is pure beauty #xxxholic live action movie #the photos in mGirl are amazing too #jlpt learning materials :D

aretsuna

I’ve ordered some magazines for the xxxHolic movie review and it turned out to be 1/4 of page long XD

aretsuna

Ok some other magazines came and the interviews are longer but oh my the photo session from Mgirl is amazing (and it involves the “shooting an arrow together” scene).

#xxxholic live action movie

I’m reading xxxHolic movie light novel and if my understanding is correct:

1) Watanuki will be conscious after falling from the staircase and talking with Doumeki and Himawari

2) Watanuki will see Himawari scars after Yuuko granted her wish

3) Doumeki will pay with his eye instead of blood

4) There will be time loop

5) My guess about Watanuki wearing Yuuko bracelet was right

#spoilers #afraid to tag #xxxholic spoilers #the endings sounded better than the one of actual manga
