Who was everyone's like first fictional/cartoon crush??

Girlfriend explaining extensive lore of the sports yaoi she’s reading about seemingly like gay ultimate frisbee racquetball players who are in West Virginia but also somehow inexplicably in the yakuza (in West Virginia) and I thought she had to be fucking with me but apparently thousands of you on here are eating this up. devastating

📍Getting kidnapped by the japanese Appalachian yakuza and waterboarded homoerotically in a basement while the team captain tattoos my jersey number on my face because the team captain wants me to play ultimate frisbee with him. In fuckingggggggggg Charleston West Virginia

📍getting force-gingered by the Japanese Appalachian yakuza which leads to me getting double kidnapped by the Polish Baltimore mob who burn my ultimate frisbee jersey number back off my face and beat the brakes off me because my evil serial killer dad with the first half of my name wants me dead but then American federal agents with the help of my British mobster uncle shoot him and free me so I can triple-traffick this French mob kid to California because he was like raised underground so he has a vitamin D deficiency and also I have to win over my not-boyfriend all 5 foot german the joker of him. And the NCAA ulstickmate frisball college finals are next week. In fuckingggggggg Clemson South Carolina

kind of weird how parts of your soul are left in various locations without any warning… like yes i’m always at the top of that hill, sitting at the bus stop, in the cool light of the Japanese restaurant, standing at the pier etc etc

Having someone ask ChatGPT in a meeting is like being a grown-ass professional adult in a room full of other grown-ass professional adults trying to solve a problem, while a colleague with one of those baby toys that makes animal sounds repeatedly presses the cow button. And we all have to stop what we're doing and listen to cow go moo and say "wow hm yeah that's not really what we're asking but the cow does definitely go moo, good thoughts"

Except increasingly the cow is being treated as a respected contributor to meetings as we pivot to a moo-centric business model that principally produces bullshit

tanjiro goes around being so soft and positive that it is likely that most people he has meet don't have any idea about what he went through. despite all the suffering, he still radiates light and warmth which mostly gets misunderstood as naivety and shallowness. people see his grit and strength and lack of complaining and not the depth of pain and desperation he was thrust into at such a young age. tanjiro doesn't advocate for himself after all and wouldn't stop even a second to vent or rest. he doesn't seek praise or easily unburden, which makes it harder for others to comprehend his deliberate and active kindness. how many people he met can even bring themselves to imagine tanjiro's tiny and cold hands digging a small grave that fit his five years old brother? or how many of them can picture the perpetual smiler, bowed on the snowy floor begging for his sister's life? can they even gleam his guilt and shame? even if they could, even if they got observant or close enough to sense all the loss he endured, I imagine he'd wave them off. he'd wear a warm smile and assure them it's alright. most people likely know that tanjiro has joined the corps because like the rest of the slayers he lost, but i wonder if they know the magnitude and extent of it. tanjiro is exceptional, in that he pours his heart and spares no effort in every single thing he does but rarely let's the weariness and fatigue show on his face or in his words. tanjiro always gives more than he takes, and will do so in utmost grace and humility without expecting anything in return. he is a person of unmatched peofundness and integrity. someone who conceals their heartbreak and meet you with a smile on their face, who never complains, compromise or back down and he makes it all seem seamless.

everyone has a religion or a god. tanjiro's god is other people, genya's is sanemi and sanemi's is kagaya. kagaya's religious is his family's revenge against muzan while shinobu's is her anger. kyojuro's god is his parents and his religion is his duty. mitsuri's religion is love and kanae is hope. for obanai a god means absolution and for tengen he means punishment. inosuke creats his own god and kanao carries her's within. muzan's god is himself, and so is kaigaku's. kokushibo's god is his twin even if he doesn't want to admit it, just like how tamayo is yushiro's and how koyuki is hakuji's. sometimes not believing in a god is itself a god like with douma. gyutaro's hate of the gods is his way of believing in them, and the same is true of yushiro's distrust in them. as for himejima religion and god are his religion and god.

chihiro’s swordplay being animated is sooooo goddamn funny like i knew he fucking sucked but i didn’t expect it to be that bad. why on EARTH did shiba not try to find a tutor for that shit
