the eighth sense said let’s scare everyone. total silence for the title sequence. i feel like i’m in the hospital waiting for updates on my blorbos in emergency surgery with only the sound of my anxious beating heart in my ears; i have a feeling the boys will be okay but do we really have to sit in complete silence while waiting for confirmation??
A little pose-study warm up
Tokuriki Tomikichiro Lake Kawaguchi - New Thirty-six Views of Mt. Fuji Date:Ca. 1950s.
save me bitching
God works hard but the shop owner at the rest stop giving away free stuff works harder. He said be gay. listen to trot. do minor crimes like setting off fireworks at the beach
I feel like there’s this whole subgenre of fic that just really, aggravatingly, doesn’t get bickery banter couples, which means that a lot of the content for them just ends up reading like emotional abuse.
Like! The thing about couples that bicker for fun, the thing that makes it romantic, is not ‘I hate this and I’m sad and hurt and uncomfortable, but I’ll put up with it because I love you and at some point you’ll start being nice to me’. That’s not fun bantering! That is, at best, a serious miscommunication!
The thing that makes it fun and (potentially) romantic is ‘We know each other so well that we can be rude and gross and weird together, we can transgress the rules of polite society with each other without actually causing any real hurt, because we know where the real lines are and don’t have to guess at them or use the rules from a game that neither of us wants to play.’
It’s fundamentally about intimacy, not about treating your SO like they don’t have feelings that matter.
Okay I'm going mad so here's my fucking theory.
Theory: They made the biggest fucking thing out of showing us the scene at the therapist and him asking about 4 weeks meds. She gave him 3 weeks. I'm pretty sure episode 6 is pulling a top ten anime betrayals on us and man's just been overdosing on his meds, in psychosis , took himself to the beach alone. None of this happened.
Very dreamy sequences
The dialogue about giving him trauma feels unnatural compared to the rest of the show plus we don't actually see it come from their mouths it's just dubbed over the scene
Gas station man just giving out shit for free for no reason?
NC scene suddenly has a bed?
They're kissing outside in broad daylight (I mean it's possible but hmmm)
No scene before the opening
The music video that came out yesterday or whenever also was kind of trippy
Again the way all this was cut?
And he sat alone at the beach at the end, in what version of happenings would he end up sitting there alone?
I'm just spitballing but there's still full 2 episodes coming and there can't just be....the consequences for two episodes.
Please discuss.
