That was a lovely ASMR Tay! You have such a smooth and gentle voice! And you perfectly encapsulated the shy girl bumping into her classmate out of class at the campus café (Dang, i remember those lol). I would go to the Café au Tay hehe. Kudos all around!

There are some straight up tear-jerking moments, it is such a powerful narrative. Honestly, I have found a lot of media that I consumed in the 2000s and 2010s have a lot more resonant themes than upon first glance, or when I was too young to fully grasp it. 😅 It truly speaks to the creativity

I know it sounds ridiculous, lol. I did not pick up on it when I first played the games with a friend of mine at his house late 2000s, early 2010s. But when I revisited videos of the campaign story, I realized how deep the it is for the named squad members. A tale of brotherhood amidst crazy war.

Actually, for self-drive, I would throw in Captain Price, Soap, Roach, Ghost and the other members of Task Force 141 from the Call of Duty Modern Warfare campaign (the OG game and story, not the reboot). They all have insane self-drive, doing what is right, even if they have to circumvent orders.

I sincerely believe I took to this show cos I'm already used to bleak/grim dark stuff thanks to being a Warhammer 40k fan that is as bleak as they come haha. That being said, the world building of this show and myteries was what kept me glued from start to finish!

post credits scene of the anime. In that, yes, perhaps future generations will forget history and make the same mistakes, but the contexts for new cycles will be somewhat different. Well, at least some of the main gang of the show gets a happy ending after the various hells they went through.

Him and Eren actually share quite a bit regarding the immutability of fate, and how silly it is to believe we have any agency to change our fate. A very interesting philosophical take for sure. And while that can be applied to the cyclicality of human conflict, I feel there was a hopeful note in the

by fatalism and visions of the future. So I was thinking about him as I watched Eren in season 4 do what he does, as well as the way he talked, which felt very cynical. The image below is Curze, who went by the title of "Night Haunter".

The rest of the cast is great too. But Armin and Levi are very up there for me. Eren is a great protagonist POV, and I gotta say, I saw where his character was going after the season 3 finale. He reminds me a bit of Anakin, Saw, and a 40k Character named Konrad Curze (this last one was also plagued

I can safely say now, I have watched all of "Attack on Titan". I'm not a big anime enjoyer, but if there are genres that speak to me, I give it a shot. And I'm glad I took the recommendation to watch this one. What a chilling story about human conflict...it can relate to today's world in so many

That would be unfortunate. Iroh is human at the end of the day, which means the good, the bad, and the ugly are present in his life story. ATLA went out of its way to hint that he was a merciless warlord. I mean, "Dragon of the West" is a title Smaug would want to add to his other ones lol.

This is why sometimes I feel we need a serious young General Iroh movie or show. To show he was not a good guy back then, but then tie in how Lu Ten's death set him on the path to becoming better, and becoming the kind uncle we know and love. It would lend more weight to the exchange we saw in ATLA

Even the way the Hobbit is written, one can tell, or should, that it is meant for kids. It ain't that deep in that aspect, though I agree the themes are potent.

Aragorn would probably be smoking on afternoons on his house porch reading the newspaper. Would then be walking around town, saying hello to neighbours, even the ones that already know him if we assume this is a small/chill town. And I feel he would be keeping up with his swordsmanship.

My headcanon with the prequels in mind, is the Emperor secretly hated the fact Yoda left him hanging in the Senate. So he wanted a rematch to kill Yoda as payment for the humiliation...and Yoda denied him EVEN that lol.

Finishes rewatching Episode VI, Return of the Jedi. Did after doing the "IV, V, I, II, III" order. It is interesting, for sure, though I still prefer the numbered order; VI does hit a lot more after the "flashbacks". Yoda scene still hits me, as does Vader's decision. What a beautiful story...

Cos, edgy, and drab is the new norm for franchises that had a go-lucky feel for them. 😆 But I suspect the One Piece team does not conform to that, and recall what their source material's tone is about lol.

The Bionicle franchise is a big part of my childhood, and the movies are no exception. I have a soft spot for "Legends of Metru Nui", where "green Toa" come together to form a team while overcoming their struggles, chief among them seen in the MC, Vakama, who is plagued by uncertainty and visions.

pay attention to some of those deeper moral discussions Yagami senior provides in Light's presence. Especially the hospital scene about "Kira cannot be a happy person, because you can't attain happiness through the murder of others". Even Ryuk points out Light's hypocrisy. 🤣

So in that light (no pun intended lol), Soircihi's enforcing the law and confronting evil, something he says a lot throughout the story, is proven right in the end. As in the right thing to do, because the way Kira dealt with crime was not correct. Funny how Light who idolizes his dad doesn't

Watari in many ways was L's Alfred and was super great! 🥲 As for heroes, a case could be made for Soirichi Yagami, Light's dad. He probably embodies some of the most good, and Death Note's author does describe him as one of the more pure characters in his roster.

Dornfist @dornfist.bsky.social · 27/02/2026

Good point. L and Light's versions of justice are definitely not perfect and probably not what the common good strives for. But at least L is enforcing the law, as mundane as that sounds, just uses underhand tactics to do so. But considering how the show ends, it does prove that L's legacy endures.

One last thing I will say because I'm obsessed with Death Note: Light Yagami? Yeah, no sympathies from me sorry. Man went a Dr. Faustus route and didn't do much critical reflection despite being a straight A student. And he is Death Note's protagonist! That being said, interesting and entertaining.
