just listened to hamilton again for the first time in a while and was not prepared for how much i would physically hurt by the end. holy fuck i forgot how good this show was

the town mouse and the country mouse in my textbook jumpscare

ok the birds are ominous but it's felt like things were coming to a head in this fight for like 5 chapters in a row and they didn't so i'm just hoping this is an intentional elaborate troll on mr motor's part

genuinely what the fuck is inking

happy year of the horse with manhattan cafe

"what's your most liked artwork this year" it's this. this thing i drew in like 5 minutes with my phone for a gimmick account's strawpage. it's not even my post. if this happens again next year i think i'm actually going to have to k*ll myself

perhaps this time there will actually be enough people staying that my timeline won't be filled with boomer political cartoons in two weeks?

there's a convo to be had wrt "doesn't matter what the point is if the point is bad or fail to tell an interesting story, stories aren't essays", but then i think about mr motor saying that he thinks people are going to hate him for the ending of part 2 and keep my confidence in my thread abt makima

...so what happened to death being gone? am i missing something?

bro i literally never do anything ever how am i allowed to be alive

so i'm getting cherry angiomas on my hand but i'm pretty sure i'm not 30+ years old or pregnant??

studying for exams is going well as we can see

yeah

the journey to here has been so fascinating. there's been no sinister corruption of denji and pochita's bond, it's exactly the purity of it that's so sinister. "i'll do anything so you're safe. if we destroy everything we can go back to when we were happiest: when it was just us and simple"

denji's really going off the deep end isn't he? something about him drawling out "baby" at yoru feels so nasty

twitter: nothingburger drama fujimoto: pikachu donut never change

reading edward said's "the world, the text, and the critic" and there's a lot of bangers but this one in particular: "This is a poignant irony, to be recalled for the benefit of people who maintain that criticism is art, and who forget that, the moment anything acquires the status of a cultural

funny me when caption send tweet

this is something i've been turning over in my head, but has probably already been observed by others: chainsaw man part 2's messiness makes you long for the familiar structure of part 1, and the nostalgia that evokes is similar to real reactionary thought. this has really crystallized for me 1/?

you ever think you have problems but then you hear other people talk about their lives and think "man what was i on about"

okay wait though the moray eel devil is still talking after getting cut up. is this the erasure of death in action?

what the fuck did michigan do man

with regards to telegraphing emotional conclusions, i'm thinking of how after interacting with quanxi there was a whole chapter that ended with denji going "yep i'm satisfied with my life i don't need to worry about the door anymore" framed as a very conclusive emotional endpoint, and we know what

we're in the "learn to sit back and observe, not everything needs a reaction" phase methinks. still think death has planned something way nastier than what we've seen

what if we were 3 apples tall

doodle of that one reze shot

just finished watching pirated reze movie. no notes

probs not even gonna be able to get a refund too. i'm never going to a movie theater again

went to the theater for reze movie after class but didn't realize you couldn't bring backpacks into a theater. the theater is way too far from my apartment for me to justify walking there and back just for a movie. guess i'm pirating after all. shoutouts to the person cosplaying quanxi though

THE REZE MOVIE IS AT THE THEATER YESSSSS HOLY SHIIITTTT

yo i can't believe death is controlling not only yoshida and nayuta but devil yuko and gun fiend aki and power

i'm on early part 2 on my reread rn and it's interesting in light of this recent chapter to be reminded of how i and probably many others thought yoru was a manifestation of asa's unchained, "true" self, that she would help asa escape the societal norms that constrained her. instead, her violent re-

i don't think this means all of asa's previous falls were intentional, but it still approaches violence in an interesting way. the devil hunter came when she called right away, but who would have come for either asa's or denji's abusive fathers? without direct power in society they take power where

secret third thing no one anticipated! and it's a doozy!

rereading chainsaw man and realizing just how much of the discussion of state violence/family/construction of normalcy/capitalist consumption was already there, i just missed it when i first read it in high school. like chainsaw man, the outside-the-norm, is weakened by being co-opted and lite-

seeing other people talk about watching reze movie and crying cause there's no way this movie theater is gonna play it (yar har fiddle de dee)

oh yeah it's october i should probably try a drawing challenge or something

can't decide whether "asa's mom's selfless love is a foil to yoru" or "asa's mom was actually yoru and a terrible mother and asa's blocking those memories" are more likely but somehow there's going to be a secret third thing no one could have expected

okay it's not just a feeling mr motor really is going back to thinner lines. was the movie that much work for him, or is he just getting more used to drawing like this? i really have no idea how these things work

california mention

one who has read one foucault essay: chainsaw man is so foucaldian

does anyone hear that ominous bell tolling??? 😂😂😂 no?? just me?

so yoru's got a single ponytail but dream asa still has 2 #nooticing

i don't think it's cope to say this is literally, in-story, part of a grander plan and that yoshida is probably gonna come back in some capacity, just like how angel, the weapons, and power came back in some way. maybe he'll still die in the end but this isn't the last of him (like nayuta trust)

learning that an artist i follow and is really good is the same age as me

wow people really do call you slurs in public if you look even a little gender nonconforming
