The second I found out Natori Shuuichi's age he immediately became the funniest person in the world to me.

You have to understand. I spent the majority of my first Natsume Yuujinchou read through believing that Natori was in his thirties. That whole time I was reading Natori and Natsume's relationship as "cynical experienced mentor and his kind, optimistic mentee that is slowly softening his edges" only to then find out that Natori is fucking 23.

He's college aged! No wonder he's a fucking mess, he should be at the club! (He would hate the club).

And suddenly my third eye opened as I realized "Oh my God- they're literally the Tumblr post"

This has VASTLY improved my reading experience .

Most of the mischaracterization Riza suffers from wouldn’t be nearly as popular if people actually understood why she follows Roy and it isn’t just love and loyalty.

One of the main reasons she stays by his side is because she sees herself as the guardian of flame alchemy. She’s trying to make sure of two things: 1. no one ever gets their hands on it again. and 2. the only person who can use it never misuses it again. That’s why she follows him. She has to. She’s watching the weapon she helped create.

And she has to keep him alive not only because he’s the one with the political power (meaning he’s her only real way to make sure the trials happen), but because he has to live long enough to atone for what he did with flame alchemy. The power SHE gave him.

From Riza’s point of view, every crime Mustang commits is hers too. Every time flame alchemy is used to kill that blood is on her hands too. Every person he killed is someone she killed by proxy.

She’s not just guarding him. She’s sharing his guilt. It’s like she’s trying to atone for her own sins, but he has to atone too so she can atone through him.

I think this Hannibal quote fits them really well: “You and I have begun to blur. Every crime of yours feels like one I’m guilty of.” Like yeah she obviously loves him. But reducing their relationship to just that completely flattens what’s actually going on.

I swear I'm not lying, but I was doing Kamisato Ayato's story quest and for some reason i just knew that the Japanese voice actor would be Akira Ishida. So I checked and—yeah it's him 😭

I guess everyone the guy voices has a certain vibe ? Honestly almost every character he voices is kind to a fault with this outward façade (well it's not always a façade) of cunning and this act of composure

The opening scene in this episode was such a jumpscare ? I honestly just did not expect the cobalt soul lady to go out like that ?? Like I don't know I actually genuinely thought that "yes ! We've got Ikhiton, no way he's getting out of this" and it all goes to hell and the only woman that's actually good on that council goes and DIES ?? and about Ves, i thought she was going to be on our side so I was relieved, like yes it's over ! But she's evil as well ? WHAT

Natsume: It seems that another small mirror was hidden behind the mirror. Natori: ….

Natori: Natsume. Natsume: ! What's wrong, Natori-san? Natori: That's strange…The mark is gone. Natsume: Natori-san...? Natori: …Why did it vanish? Natsume: The mark? Natori: Maybe it was just my imagination, but it hasn't been there for a while now. I can't find the gecko anywhere.

Natori: Is it there? Is it just that I can't see it? Natsume: Natori-san!? There's something like a curse on your arm and face, just like the writing that was on the mirror. Natori: I see…

Natori: It seems like I've caught some strange curse. So there was another hidden mirror? Natsume: It was just for a moment, but I think there was a curse written on it. Natori: I can't see it myself, but it must be written on my skin? What about Iwami-san? Natsume: Nothing unusual. Natori: I see, that's great… Natsume: Natori-san, how are you feeling? Natori: Thanks. I'm all right for now. Natori: Natsume, you too, stay cautious for a while longer. Natori: ...I guess the Iwami family had enemies back then too.

Natsume: Enemies? Natori: The mirror in the storehouse wasn't just placed there. It was propped against the wall, set up like a trap. Natsume: A trap…? Who on earth would do such a thing? Natori: The late, late-grandfather, Iwami Keizo, seemed to have many exorcists who favored him. He also supported them at times. To those he valued, he must have been a truly grateful benefactor, but… Natori: ...For those who weren't favored, it must have been an unpleasant relationship. Natsume: So that's a mirror to curse Keizo-san… Natori: No, not Keizo-san, I suspect it's a mirror cursed to target the exorcists Keizo-san favored.

Natori: This curse weakens the exorcist's ability to see spirits. Natsume: (The ability to see spirits…) Hiiragi: Master…

The BBC really took one good look at Santiago Cabrera and typecasted him as "the sort of soulful-eyed man married women would make some truly stupid choices for" and you know they were right about that

Most underrated character in mdzs is Mianmian's husband. My guy saw a woman so badass and hot that he gave up his cushy merchant life to follow her around with heart eyes. Dudes is so comfortable in his masculinity he's like yeah this is my wife she's the breadwinner (we're poor asf) and she can bench three of me. Buddy is drinking respect woman juice like wwx drinks emperor's smile. He's the world's #1 wife guy and he's RIGHT.
