#it was miserable

[doomedpuppetyuri]

the catholic school my parents made me go to when I was younger was like the most stereotypical catholic school ever. They banned Pokemon cards after like a week because god forbid we had any whimsy ig. Must’ve missed the part of the Bible that said “fuck them kids and their little sparkly cards”

Y es que yo ya no sé cómo pedir ayuda, no sé cómo decirles que no estoy bien.

Pero lo que más me preocupa, no sé si les importa.

I just... love how Tatara is emotional and Houji is rational.

Like in their fight it was clear that they are the polar opposite Tatara was losing his mind and Houji was calm and composured. Houji even told Tatara that "intense emotions cloud one's judgment" like emotion is his weakness and rationality is the key for winning.

Then later on Houji was killed because he was too rational. He did the thing he was ordered to do, instead of the thing his heart truly wanted.

As a high-ranked member of CCG, he prioritized the rules, he considered how Takizawa killed people, he obeyed the orders, thus ignoring the fact that he cared about Takizawa or Takizawa cared about him. He put the well-being of an organisation, or of the society before the feelings of an individual, which is Takizawa and himself. Because he trusted reason and logic.

There are better way to handle that situation and Houji just went with the most straightforward way: ignoring Takizawa's old self (which he knew that was definitely still there) and assigning him as Owl [SS+ Ghoul], just like what's in the files of CCG. Because that's more convenient to him. He was not killing an old subordinate. He was exterminating a ghoul and it helped him control his useless emotions easier. But if he follows those emotions, like Akira did, things might not end up that ugly, for both him and Takizawa.

My personal reflection under the cut

Alright this seems to be obvious and I'm just repeating what's in the canon but growing up, I've always been told to be rational. That I shouldn't cry, or be angry, or be depress. This created a habit of me dismissing my own feelings, that they are invalid and stupid and I should act more like an adult not a crybaby for the longest time. I still have that habit now actually, and I didn't even realize that it was a bad one until my friends told me.

I never knew that being emotional can be good. I was told to always follow the rules like a machine, and emotions will just get in my way. But TG, and many other medias show me that sometimes follow my heart is actually the best answer. And Im grateful for that

Can’t say I disagree with her at all. Hiking is not fun and I actually can’t stand being sweaty
