You're correct that I should, indeed, hydrate

oh yeah it's absolutely buck shit wild lmao wildly recommend it but obviously i'm biased. If you ask for my opinion tho I think it's better to at least start with the manga rather than the anime, for a few reasons:

1- I think with the anime all their deductions happen too fast and you have no time to absorb the information, so it's harder to follow and to get into the plot. In the manga due to the nature of reading you can follow things at your own pace and make sure you actually understood all the information before continuing. Not that you need to think too deply to understand it or anything it's just that in the anime it is frequently an avalanche of information without pause. Death Note is VERY convoluted and dialogue/monologue heavy so it really makes a difference to be able to follow what's happening at your own pace

2- The manga treats itself less seriously than the anime, which paradoxically makes it easier to take seriously imo. Like the anime takes itself SO absurdly seriously that it cut off almost all comical moments and generally relief, so it just starts to get a little silly and overdramatic when all these characters are doing is overthinking everything they say 100% of the time. In the manga we get to see them being sillier too so it's easier to see them as people and actually feel like it matters when they are doing that whole crap (although it's still funny but again I don't think it was the creator's intention for it to NOT be ykwim?)

3- Although the anime is a very faithful adaptation, there's some stuff that just works better in the manga, particularly in the third arc. I don't really fault the anime for this cuz I think this was likely because they had a limited amount of episodes to fit everything in and again Death Note is VERY ["very" in caps] plot heavy, so they had to cut down some stuff to make it shorter. Nothing crazy and there are basically no additions but some things have been simplified or some details that I think really made the plots interesting were left out

The only downside to the manga as opposed to the anime is that there is no dramatic standing in the rain + foot wiping scene. This is literally the only thing in the anime that wasn't in the manga and they just made up, which in itself is also completely wild

But yeah I'd recommend starting with the manga if you wanna give Death Note another chance lol

supernatural is the true monster we've been fighting all along

basically:

jensen ackles (dean winchester's actor) and his wife danneel decided to launch a spn prequel about sam's and dean's parents

Everyone Hated That Idea

it started trending immediately

jared padalecki (sam winchester's actor and supposedly jensen's best friend) then tweeted saying that he cant believe he learnt abt this through twitter and not from jensen himself

jared then descended into a spiral of breakup madness, tweeting several times about being "gutted" by this news and jensen's betrayal, and even tweeted one of the spn writers involved saying "et tu, brutus?" and "#bravo you coward"

what always happens happened

THANK U BB

ell (she/her). cis woman, bi but male-leaning. star sign aries (sun), cancer (moon), pisces (venus). ENF & usually 50/50 on P/J. 5’1”, 115lb smol hehe. mid-black hair, dark brown eyes, asian with darker complexion (but not dark). tiny feet, tiny hands, tiny boobs. I love the color yellow, cosplay & art, aquariums, hiking, a clownly aesthetic, the sun, and supporting my friends. I hate dead & half-dead insects, waking up early, doing research, incompetence, and bullies. I’m loud & easily excitable, kind of a neat freak, and think PDA is super cute. Not afraid of change, cutting ties, taking steps to overcome challenges. Afraid of losing friends, the future, being seen as not enough.

Thank you so much for the sweet words Ell! I hope you enjoy!

The Knife Father matches you with...

Noriaki Kakyoin!

➼ You and Kakyoin would be two peas in a pod! Since Kakyoin is a Leo, he's very attracted to how outgoing and energetic you can be. I feel like your moon in Cancer really allows the feelings to flow between you both. Kakyoin struggles very much to talk about his feelings, and your nurturing influences would help him feel more secure. He would definitely return the favor for you and be very in tune with your emotions. 

➼ Understands your fear of not being seen as enough. Kakyoin validates you frequently and is usually the first person to gas you up! Supports your strange clown aesthetic and will take your fashion advice to see you smile. He’d definitely take goofy but also lowkey aesthetic ass selfies with you! 

➼ Kakyoin is very shy about PDA with you at first, but he comes to love it over time! When he introduces you as his girlfriend, it’s always followed up by his arm around your waist and him pressing a warm kiss to your cheek, a proud smile on his face. He’s not scared to smooch on you in the middle of a cafe or anything either! The rest of the Crusaders frequently tell you guys to get a room, though it’s always playful lol. 

➼ Would totally cosplay and do art with you! You guys do couple cosplay all the time and attend conventions together. Kakyoin is shy about his art but you always inspire him to do more. He loves to go on dates with you to your local comic book store with you and check out all of the manga and other merchandise. 

➼ He admires that you are the type of person to constantly be doing better for yourself. Kakyoin has issue with cutting ties and moving on in general, and your support would definitely help him to be stronger during those times. You both just really admire each other’s strengths and make them your own! It’s a very healthy and beneficial relationship all around.
