I was thinking about how Licht said in one of the episodes I watched recently (somewhere in the 30's) that Asta had Licht's master's grimoire and sword, and I was thinking about this earlier and I was like "How awkward would it be to find out your master had reincarnated before you could resurrect him?"
I bet you people in this town don't need roosters other than for fertilizing chicks because first thing as the sun comes up they hear, "YUNO!" echoing across the valley
My friend was telling me about episode 22 of KazeTsuyo/RwtW and I was all:
Joji: [later after Kakeru confesses he's in love with someoneone] Joooottttaaaaa~ Kakeru's found girls Jota: Where? When? How? Joji: I dunno but he's in love Prince: [in the corner reading manga] He's in love like Doukyuusei* Joji: Jota: Joji: Oh that makes sense. must havee met her in high school
*BL manga, title translates to "Classmate(s)"
I wonder if Kyo being a target of emotional abuse is part of what's meant to help forge a bond between him and Tohru, who's a victim of abuse as well. Like everyone around him is so quick to put him down, downplay his efforts, and encourage isolation like how everyone is so quickly to exploit Tohru's mild nature and domestic skills. Neither of them are having their emotional needs met, and both of them make their situations worse by function of their own personalities (Kyo being frustrated and angry, Tohru being quick and eager to please even if it puts her into an unsafe situation). Even if that's the intent, or it's just a function of the fairytale format the story takes and the amount of abuse at least one member of a main romantic couple endures in such stories, it's really kind of becoming frustrating to watch. Then again, I was the frustrated angry teenager who was put down and shut down by a lot of people at home and at school growing up so that might make me extra touchy to Kyo's situation.
Booo Prodigal Son (Fox) is going to be too flashy, and it'll probably be a consistent too flashy since they keep using flashing images to indicate memories, so I have to bail
[puts on episode 35 of Vento Aureo] What am I about to do to myself? Honestly.
@sherokutakari replied to your post “Apparently that Spider-verse thing is now on Netflix so this is going...”
I just watched it last night and I'd say yeah super flashy in a lot of points. And there's like this constant effect of red and blue shifting that's supposed to evoke shading for distance/depth in old comics, but was more like an old red-blue 3D movie, and I definitely has a headache by the end.
I kept hearing people who normally don’t have trouble with such things report back from the theater that they didn’t feel well after seeing it and that’s when I knew I had zero chance. It’s a shame really because if they’d kept it to a dull roar it’s probably 1000% my kind of movie
Finished Good Omens and so it’s time to hop on that unpopular opinion train off and on here we go.
It was okay. A lot of characters were hard to connect to or root for, I felt bored on and off, but all these things are actually quite normal reactions for me when it comes to both authors’ individual works in general. There’s always too much whimsy and the meandering doesn’t always bear on the plot so my mind wanders away. I also am tired of the pre-teen Antichrist in general, but that just comes with the territory of this type of story no matter the writer(s).
That said, what kept me watching was Aziraphale and Crowley. They were dynamic, relatable, and whenever they appeared the story seemed active rather than passive and we had less meandering away from what we were up to. Aziraphale has his books, food, and want to do the right thing and please God, all very relatable. Crowley’s got the music, cars, revels in the modern era, likes to do annoying things like highway congestion and wifi outages, also very relatable. I liked that in them we got an apocalypse thwarted by an angel who isn’t quite and a demon who isn’t quite along with an Antichrist who just chooses to not have an apocalypse all together. I also liked that it was the slow burn love story to end all slow burn love stories.
I’m glad I watched it, but will I watch it again? Nah, but I am probably going to poke about AO3 and enjoy the non-M/E fic as with any fandom.
