The first thing I have to say back on this account is to be controversial (maybe, I don’t know but it seems to be the case on etc Reddit) that overthinking the semantics of the Prophecy in Deltarune Chapter 4 imo undermines the sheer emotional force behind the Susie scenes in the Second Sanctuary.

When the Prophecy says “love finds the girl” I understand the compulsion to read love as defined by Undertale (however, I will say that I’m inclined towards this reading of the word on the Weird Route), I am thinking about how that element of the prophecy has already been fulfilled. Susie doesn’t realise it but love HAS found the girl: Kris, Ralsei, Lancer, Noelle, Gerson and hell, even Toriel, have shown her their love for her. She’s an adolescent who’s been outcast, loveless for the most of her life. She’s someone who used to believe that she was unredeemable, unlovable, and something abject. Of course, this is not justifying her more mean acts pre Chapter 1 (and during it) but you can’t deny that you can’t see how she became the person she was before getting close to Kris and Ralsei.

To me when I see “love comes to the girl”, it’s something so redemptive, that Susie, despite all her flaws, all her mistakes, is capable of not just being loved BUT loving so deeply, that she can be forgiven, makes me so emotional. This is a girl that is finally realises how deeply she feels, how deeply she loves, and with her white pen of her hope she will be able to read between the lines and create a future so loving and liberating.

And this is supported by how the icon of the girl is replicated ad infinitum, it’s everywhere, it follows Susie. Her immense capacity for love is multiplied everywhere that it is OVERWHELMING. It’s of course easy to read this with scepticism (though the appearance argument is the one argument I’m against) especially with how some of the icons display the soul, but I think at least for now, in isolation, I think to me it’s a scene that plays so sincerely and with such great love for Susie, that I struggle reading it in even a negative light.

Just finished watching Kpop Demon Hunters, and it was sooo good!!❤️🥰. The songs were 10/10 , characters were 10/10, story 10/10. I cried when Rumi confronted Celine 😭.

What is in Lust’s mouth?

It's a necklace! ♪(´▽｀)

Lust is biting on it, so it wouldn't swing around and enter his socket or clink his teeth.

being a multishipper in the enstars fandom is so incredibly freeing for my soul.

thought this was a comedy manga but i cannot avoid the doomed yaoi it seems. would you hold on to a piece of glass knowing it would wound you? hold on to a person’s sleeve despite the uncountable amounts of blood they’ve been stained with? continue hoping and clinging to a sinner knowing you could be tainted? knowing you could be ruined? would you still call out their first name amidst the bodies, a gentle intimacy, one you were so rarely permitted? have the proof of your care and love ring out in a single “yuuta.” as the people he’s injured wither away on the floor? why else would you do that, watch him walk away like you’re mourning his absence, reaching a hand for someone almost unattainable? someone who despite his detachment is someone special to you? he’s killed in cold blood in front of you, yet you cannot look away, yet you continue holding on to him. to you, he is not the cold silver glint of a sword ready to pierce. he is all soft smiles and glasses pushed too far down his nose, and laughing words and the quick passes of a basketball as you both practice in a park. to you, he is the rhythmic breathing he does when he’s asleep in your shared dormitory, the groans he makes when he gets a low score on a test, the snickers when other people trip on their shoes. to you, he is yuuta. not a cruel god, a brutal killer, or an ill-mannered student. to you, he is yuuta. to you, he is love.

It's kinda sad that out of all the Weak Hero Webtoon characters, Baek-jin's mom was the only one who we know that really cared about and loved her kid. (But died)

And Baek-jin is the canonical orphan.

Everyone else has some sort of family, but not a single one of those parents/parental figures really care/are shown they care. These other characters might as well have been orphans.

Prolly makes his backstory so much sadder. He truly lost someone important, while the others most likely wouldn't feel much of a difference if their parents disappeared.

I've watched Iron Lung a few times now. Still love the movie. I even picked up a detail I never noticed on my first couple watched until this evening. So, uh, spoiler ahead, I guess l.

So, we all know that when Ava or David is talking through the radio, the lightbulb turns on. Forgive me for not noticing this sooner, BUT when Ellie (the fish monster)/the ghost of SM-8 talks to Simon assumingly through the radio, the lightbulb remains off. I don't even think Simon himself noticed this before, and I felt like I was loosing my shit with him. What a great "show, don't tell the audience shit" move!

PS, I've been seeing a lot of people also loving PHM, but I haven't seen it yet. So I gotta ask; is it a good movie too? I know nothing about it other than it's a sci-fi film and people are shipping the PHM guy with Simon.

I can’t tell if this is a hot take but Kaigaku Inadama is an overhated character. He is not as evil as other characters yet people hate him more. There are some areas of his character that are actually relatable too.
