It's his year

I can't believe CLAMP did the "children yelling 'McDonald's'" meme with Kurogane as "We have food at home" AND "*Pulls into the drive through as children cheer*/ *Orders a single black coffee and leaves*"

Meanwhile, poor Syaoran is paralyzed with indecision while Mokona and Fai are chanting "MCDONALD'S! MCDONALD'S! MCDONALD'S!"

Truly, Tsubasa World Chronicle is a gift.

Literally less than a year ago we were adding cool spins to it like “Sliding Up Tokyo Tower” how did we downgrade so hard?

[crimsoncadmium]

We even got live action slide

[bellatrixmelody]

The slide in the first post bothers the fuck out of me because he’s using his right leg to slide on the ground.

So, I ride a motorcycle and I know at least the theory of doing a power slide (still cool but you don’t slide nearly so much and you need a pretty light bike to do it most of the time). You have to lock the back wheel until your back wheel looses grip on the road and then turn sharply to the left. Rear wheel slides and the front wheel turns.

But how do you lock the back wheel you might ask? Well with your rear break of course.

WHICH IS UNIVERSALLY UNDER YOUR RIGHT FOOT! How the FUCK is he locking the back wheel, with his shifter on his left foot??? Not possible. The creators of Akira knew it, and so did everyone that homaged it. The post above gets it right even if he’s likely on a slider and being pulled back.

This is why I love tumblr. Where else could I find gifs of back to back tribute references and a perfect explanation of why the above doesn't work and how you would need to do everything to ideally execute to move in question? Thank you for explaining, fellow tumblr friend.

To my 25 - 35 year olds, you've reached the age where people around you are starting to give up on themselves because they think it's too late. Don't let that energy rub off on you. It's not too late.

I became a tattoo artist at 49.

Married the love of my life at 50.

Got my Class A CDL at 59.

You've got time.

As long as you're breathing, you've got time.

The "Rei" in xxxHOLiC Rei means "Return" (戻 , but specifically pronounced レイ ), which... has so many possible meanings in context... the return of xxxHolic as a series (aka "xxxHolic: The Sequel"); how Watanuki "returns" to the status quo ante in the first ~40 chapters followed his "return" to the present... but I think it's also about Yuuko's return, or at least the possibility of it, which has become Watanuki's primary obsession motivation.

It's so funny because I remember starting Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle and assuming that the "Reservoir" was a metaphor for collecting/compiling Sakura's memories only to start swearing loudly when I realized what the title was actually about. And I couldn't even be mad about it, because it had been in the title the whole time!

(also "Reservoir" resembles the French for "to see again" and "Chronicle" has the same root as "chronos", time, so, uh, there's that, too.)

Anyway, I love titles with multiple meanings, and I feel like we've only scratched the surface of "return" as a theme in Rei, just like xxxHolic Rou was all about the cage imagery.

love my bed and being in it but hate being in bed and sleepy and not being able to fall asleep in it. beds are the coziest when you’re about to fall asleep, when you’re dozing off in a matter of seconds and more often than not that happens when you need to leave the bed

Hey, did you know archive.org has a bunch of free 90s shows you can stream?

The problem is finding them, since no one's organized them all in one place with covers and episode info. I'm trying to fix that with my new website.

It's in BETA right now, and all the content was just added today, so I've barely scratched the surface of what's out there.

Let me know what you think and what kind of shows/movies you want to see!

I'm so fascinated by people who seem to believe that analyzing media is somehow taking the joy out of it. Like. Do you not enjoy thinking? Does taking stuff apart and figuring out how it works not give you a hit of dopamine? And you get mad when you see people having fun in this way? What a sad, miserable way to engage with the world.
