This Man Did Something That’s Already Expected Of Women But He Gets Extra Praise Cause He’s A Man
Here are the official English lyrics of the S2 ending theme song of Wind Breaker:
Goodbye, the me of the past
Have I become a little stronger?
The beginning always comes from believing
I know what I must do
Alright
Good luck, the me of the future
Let go of unnecessary pride
If I pour what I can’t lose into my fists
Will I come to understand myself?
Oh oh oh, the heart that never sleeps
Oh oh oh, the time has come
I will rock me
Always, I’m chanting “it’s myself”
But even for myself
Doubts increase and tears dry up
Even if I’m scared, I take my trembling palms
Tightly clench them and become a lion
Can I protect everything?
Goodbye, the me of the past
Let go of unnecessary burdens
With just a small spell of four bars
I can go somewhere far away
Oh oh oh, the flame that hasn’t gone out
Oh oh oh, the time has come
I will rock you
Just tonight, just for tonight
Reach out your hand
Caught in the rain, look up at the rainbow
A heart soaked in the rain will be reborn
Even if we’re apart, even if they laugh
Don’t give up on your dreams
No matter what happens, I’ll follow my own senses
I won’t let anyone stop me
Always, I’m chanting “it’s myself”
But even for myself
Doubts increase and tears dry up
Even if I’m scared, I’ll hold onto my unyielding feelings
Tightly embracing them, becoming a lion
I’ll change something
Oh oh oh, I have to go now
Oh oh oh, without looking back
Oh oh oh, I’m sure it’ll be okay.
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine "Past Tense, Pt. 1"
Jason as those AO3 authors who have the worst tragedies happening to them and yet still continues to pump out his new chapter every week
Some poor, unbeknownst Gothamite: “My favorite fanfic writer hasn’t posted or updated any of their fanfic in like four years. I don’t want to bug them but I’m always hoping for them to come back. I hope their okay :( ”
Jason, in between cutting off right hand mens heads and antagonize black mask, like Really Living It Up: “hey, sorry, guys! I know it’s been forever! I literally died and clawed my way back from zombiehood, but I’m back now! Hope you enjoy this new chapter!”
It's so wild when you think about how much of a shift the batkids had after they were adopted by Bruce, because NONE had a sibling and were like-
Dick, who accidentally walked into Tim's room, spotting the robin shrine he has there:
Tim: ...I can explain
Dick, walking out: Nevermind! It's my fault for wishing for siblings when I was a kid
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jason: Who the hell tweeted 'skibidi toilet rizz' 56 times from my twitter?!
Tim, salty about the titans tower incident, laptop in hand still open to Jason's twitter account:
Jason:
Jason: I wish Bruce had adopted a puppy instead of you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Damian, fuming after Bruce got them a shared hotel room on a vacation: I miss the days when I was an only child
Tim: Didn't your mom make like two thousand clones of you?
Damian: I would've preferred sharing my inheritances with all 2000 of them instead of you
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dick, entering his room at the manor after a patrol and spotting Duke on his bed and immediately shrieking: BRUCE, THERE'S A RANDOM KID IN MY ROOM
Bruce: Dick, this is your newest brother, Duke
Dick: And you gave him my room?!
Duke: Wow, the colour scheme in here is so 80s
Dick: Consider me and you estranged from now on
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bruce: Jason, unblock your brother, he is currently crying in the living room because of it.
Jason, had blocked Dick after the thirst trap Dick posted got over 100k views on tiktok and now everyone and their sibling was asking for Dick's number: What brother? I identify as an only child.
love the way wind breaker takes its time fleshing out sakura's development every arc— his character in general, especially when it comes to how his past experiences have shaped him to be the person the makochi folks meet, and the person he's becoming with the help of their love and guidance.
(sakura-centric ramble incoming)
except for hints here and there, there is no expository backstory reveal as of yet — the way we got the one for umemiya — but from his monologues alone, and the way his friends notice the little things that reveal how deep-rooted his issues are, that regardless of whatever the specifics are, they (and the readers, by extension) can tell this is a child who has been neglected and abused for a long time. because. you don't always need a 'backstory reveal' to know what is already being revealed through his actions and his reactions — it's. all. in. the. little. things. it's 'show don't tell' done right, and so right it really squeezes those tears out of your eyes, ahah.
his flustered reaction to even the slightest of warmth and kindness. the way he doesn't know how to use chopsticks or a spoon. till bofurin, the only 'contact' he had on his phone was the weather, that was literally all he used his phone for. isolation induced hyper-independence to the point that he's never felt the warmth of another person's touch except for fights.
and fear, that intense fear that paralyses him at the thought of being rejected by his classmates, because this is the first time he's letting people in; the constant, constant fear that haunts him as he tries his best to adjust to this new, loving and warm environment he's found himself in.
his living condition — the small dingy and empty room — in itself a blaring metaphor for his desolate mental state. just like suo says it in his smartphone analogy, sakura has had to fend for himself for so long that now that he finally has people who care for him, he does not know what to do with all that love and affection and trust and goodwill. it's all so, so foreign to him, and that's what scares him so much, and it's just so heartbreaking.
(heartwarming too because now he's truly found a family who won't leave his side no matter what, who are there to help him learn what it's like to love and be loved. augh)
that's why i love it all the more how they are all so straightforward and direct in displaying their affection for sakura— be it the playful teasing, their compliments, or the more emotional moments where they let him know he's not alone. because he needs that. for someone who has spent his whole life being rejected and denied, now that he has found people who love him, he needs that constant assurance spelled out to him.
this panel right here. is the most precious thing ever
I’m never working at Giant again.
