Yk, I’m kinda glad I don’t get snow where I live-

I’d definitely cry the moment it’d fall

Cheng Xiaoshi's Death Analysis — PART 1: Cheng Xiaoshi's Character Analysis

Why is Lu Guang so desperate to save him? Let's analyze!

I think it’s Lu Guang himself who killed Cheng Xiaoshi in the original timeline.

⚠️ Part 2 here ; Part 3 here [note: you can skip to part 3 if you want me to get to the point]

Why do I think that?

Starting off with season 2:

let’s begin with the part where Cheng Xiaoshi is informed by the officer that Lu Guang’s rescue failed, he died.

(now this will be a bit long since i'll be contrasting their personalities, so please bear with me. if you want me to get to the point then skip to part 3)

Cheng Xiaoshi, after breaking down in tears, seemed to have been struck by the same exact idea as that of Lu Guang — to go back in time and save him.

However, the difference between Lu Guang and Cheng Xiaoshi in this case (where the thought processed was awfully similar) is that Cheng Xiaoshi did not execute this plan/idea of his.

I know you’re aware of all what I’m saying right now but hear me out…

isn’t it very odd?

now I’m sure you guys might say/think: “we already know that.” “that’s because they’re so attached to each other!” “Link Click is full of plot twists! So it’s not odd for them to surprise us!” “Lu Guang’s got feelings too y’know?!” “Maybe Lu Guang really just does care.”

Wait. Listen.

I’m not trying to imply that Lu Guang doesn’t have feelings, that he doesn’t have a heart — of course he does, he’s a human. But compared to Cheng Xiaoshi, he’s less emotional.

Cheng Xiaoshi is known to be the more sentimental, sensitive, and selfless one of the two. He usually allows his emotions to control him. He wears his heart on his sleeve. (at least that's what the donghua shows us)

But, somehow, he was able to restrain himself from letting his emotions take over him and dive back in time (all because a glimpse of Lu Guang, reciting the rule, flashed before his eyes)

He, Cheng Xiaoshi, the so very attached to Lu Guang Cheng Xiaoshi, was able to restrain.

And please do keep in mind that the emotions he experienced when he discovered Lu Guang’s death must have been unbelievably strong and unbearable; overwhelming beyond words because it’s like losing a source of happiness in your life.

He must have been so scared because he’s already experienced the horror of being abandoned by the most valuable people in his life such as his very own parents — and I bet he doesn’t wanna re-experience it.

Despite all that, he was able to restrain.

But Lu Guang couldn’t.

[keep in mind that these are just mere conclusions drawn from close observations, assumptions, and theories. i can be wrong too since sgdlr loves surprising us with plot twists! so feel free to express your opinion in the comments!]

It’s just full au brainrot.

Reigen fully taking in another emotionally constipated teen, being a dad without realizing it. Teruki and Saiki do NOT get along very fast. And some small Mob and Saiki sillies :3

And my first time drawing Kuriko! I love her so dearly X3

I was going to write an all-caps post begging you to watch this series, but I feel like it wouldn’t give it any justice, so um, here’s a fucking essay on why you should watch this.

Fandoms react to is a popular "genre" in the Gacha fandom where people make characters from fandoms "react" to edits or scenes of a character’s story. It is very popular in the Gacha fandom.

But this series takes a turn and makes the characters wonder why the fuck they are in a room with a bunch of people watching videos of their personal lives and how the hell they’re going to get out—something that is ignored in EVERY SINGLE GACHA REACT EVER.

The world-building in this series is amazing, and the genuine amount of work put into this just makes it better. Not to mention both the characters and the design for them are incredibly accurate and are just fun to watch as the characters interact with one another in the terrifying situation they’ve been forced into.

And to put it frank, that is really all I can tell you because saying anything else will ruin the experience of really watching this ongoing series for yourself.

And if you’re still having second thoughts on if this is really as good as I said it was, please remember that I wrote an entire essay just to convince people to watch it. So yea, it's that good.

snufkin: melody of moominvalley moments that have made me bark out an ugly laugh (so far)

Omg omg omg I’ve read your post for the gear 5 luffy charm giveaway and I ABSOLUTELY agree with you. I went insane during this whole scene. I love love love love when Luffy embraces his captain role. He really is The Best. I really wish we had more scenes like that because god damn I still cannot get over it. How he takes command and deals efficiently with the situation while still inspiring hope and confidence in his crew… just wow. And it broke my heart when he forced himself to smile when giving his last reassurances to the crew through the mirrors shards. Such a good captain. Incredible moment.

oooh yeah i went ahead and made that analysis it's own post!!! thank you for the reminder lol. (for reference, that's basically a breakdown of the dialogue in ch. 878)

YEAH!!! god it's literally so, so, so good!!! i didn't talk a lot about the glass thing specifically because i could have gone on for two more hours about it because there's so much there--in addition to like "oh, cool captain moment!" (which it is) the fact that he's willing not only to be injured (re: fighting katakuri) but to injure himself just so he can talk to his crew is just soooo much. like, we talk a lot about sanji and zoro throwing themselves in front of death to protect the crew, but i really think there's room to explore luffy's own lack of self-preservation when it comes to how much he cares about the straw hats--like, in little ways. (aughghghg i have so many feelings.)

ANYWAY!! LUFFY!! IS!! THE!! BEST!!!
