My fave recent art of JinMao by @/lacampanule on twitter
I haven’t watched anime regularly since high school and I forgot how obvious it is when they don’t have the budget to animate fight scenes lol
You watch Naruto and one fight scene takes five episodes of staring at still images yelling at each other to build up to. It’s like watching a very fancy PowerPoint presentation at times.
My favorite is when they have a beautifully animated fight in one episode and then the rest of the season looks like stills from a an old Charlie Brown TV special.
They had to save up for this
When you've been a writer for long enough, commas become more of a spiritual practice than a grammatical one.
Could I explain the actual rules of how they’re used? Absolutely not.
Do I rely on sensing a tremor in the force to tell me where to use them? Yes and this has never failed me even once.
I'm sorry but this is just too funny not to put here (not my screenshot)

Stop saying “there are plenty of fish in the sea”. I’ve got my eye on one specific, emotionally distant salmon with commitment issues
I'm personally after the white whale that took my leg
I also want the whale that took this guys leg
Not amab or afab, but a secret third thing. Hmm what could we call it
I have reposted this before but I am always impressed by how well-thought out every spot is. There is no good place to sit. “Oh, Eomer’s cool, I’ll sit with him” but then you will have to listen to Gollum and Bilbo the entire flight. “I’ll sit with Sam!” Pippin and Merry will be turning around the entire flight to talk to him. Sure, you can sit with Elrond, but you’re going to deal with him staring down Aragorn and Arwen. You may love Legolas and Gimli, but will you love sitting BETWEEN them? Just when you see a spot that seems okay, somewhere behind or across the aisle is a terrible option. This is so good. No good seats on the LOTR plane
I laugh every fucking time because I hear it in his voice.
jinmao if you care
Not to start discourse but I will be forever mad that every time I go into the Goncharov tag I see people complaining that they watched the movie expecting a soft queer romcom about pure cinnamon rolls and instead they got a complex and violent film about deeply flawed people where everyone dies.
By all means, engage in fandom however you choose. But don’t blame the source material for not being consistent with some random fanon on tumblr. Kinda wild to get mad that the movie about violent, morally dark grey criminals has violence, crime and moral greyness in it. You know? Also, imho given the time this movie was made, the queer coding was daring; this is NOT an example of queerbaiting.
