The last thing they see is each other’s face, illuminated by a bright white light. And as they share one last smile, the same thought crosses both their minds:
I wouldn’t have chosen another way to leave this world.
So one of my favorite writers reminded me about the fic called Lay us Down and I immediately stopped everything I was doing to read it, die all over again, and then sketch this.
So yeah laying here in the bed watching amc and my sister burst in the room and locks the door….(this is a true story)… She says “how are things” I say"fuck do you want?“ She says listen( let me stop this story and say amc walking dead is a great show so wtf do you want?) I been locked away with mom for ever seems I never get out anymore and you have a great life and I miss you! I reply "ok” miss you to.. Are mother is church strict I mean tuck in your shirt cause god keeps a clean house strict!!! And she just left for a church meeting… Lucky me I play sick.. (Btw I moved out of my mothers when I was 10 she called me the devil cause I Discovered what masturbation was!) Lived in Atlanta with my father now for almost 15 years! Back to my story… My sister is 19 now and she says “I wanna finally go out with this boy but damn I don’t know what to do how to kiss how to touch how to do anything. I’ve been skyping him and he shows me his penis (dick) yeah whatever but he plays with it till he ejaculats on his table and desk and I’m like wow!!!(go on) and I just don’t know what to do!! TUMBLR FOLLOWERS I SWEAR SHE JUST CAME ON HERSELF!!! "OMFG DID U JUST CUM ON MY DAMN SHEETS” she says I do that alot at times in school,church,shopping.. She says “ i wanna put my lips on his penis…and taste that stuff!!!!” So I say oooookkkkkk now here’s where shit gets crazy my sister has a set of nice tits and a fat ass and well it’s my sister I looked sue me… I say we’ll u have to tease him touch yourself on the camera show him those panties shit I will go nuts if it was me.. She said listen what goes on her never leaves but am I sexy enough and I said this is gunna sound so Incestieeeeee but let me see u naked and she drops her clothes and u can see the wetness like its dripping down her leg and I’m like my god!!

I couldn’t believe it!!! I was like omfg!! Ewwwww get the fuck out my bed.. She said omg omg and she slides backwards and said push please I need this!!! Omfg I just fucked my sister
Okay this is a hot take so feel free to pass over it if you can’t handle the shit I’m about to spew but Hairspray? It’s cheesy and cringy as fuck, and I can’t really stand most of it. Don’t get me wrong. It is an absolutely fantastic musical with astounding messages about body positivity and equality. I fully respect it for its messages.
What I don’t like is the absolute cheesiness and cringiness. I can’t sing along to ‘Good Morning Baltimore’ because it’s a goddamn extra cheese pizza, hold the sauce and the crust. ‘I Can Hear the Bells’? Don’t get me started. You meet this guy and 2 seconds later you’re like, What’s that I hear? Must be our wedding bells! I can’t. No. My aroace ass can’t. It makes a good wedding song, yeah, but in the context of the musical? Pass.
It’s got some really good songs too, though. Seaweed singing ‘Run and Tell That’? A legend, amazing, really awesome message about equality and minorities. Speaking of legends, ‘(The Legend of) Miss Baltimore Crabs’? Kind of a banger imo. There’s so much you can read into it to learn about the main villain, Velma Von Tussle. It’s a great song. That one that Tracy’s dad sings to her mom (I forget the name and am too lazy to look it up)? The one telling her that he still thinks she’s absolutely beautiful, after all the years? (And might just be in a movie version I don’t rememer)… That’s some good shit. And of course, I can’t not mention ‘You Can’t Stop the Beat’, because obviously, it’s one of those songs that transcend the boundaries of musical theater.
But, just… The cheesiness. When Tracy simply lifts the bars of prison to escape with Link because there were ‘Budget Cuts’? Uh-uh, honey. That ain’t how the real world works. Just the level of plot convenience and lack of development on so many parts makes it almost impossible for me to watch this musical.
To everyone who’d seen it, to everyone who’d talked about it, thank you very much.
It made me very happy to see so many wonderful comments about it.
With Tani-kun it seemed like the director wanted an easy, relaxed performance, so I did it naturally; his speech patterns may have been weird, but not too anime-like.
A normal high school student you can see anywhere, who’s in a band as a hobby. That was the most important thing I had in mind when I was portraying Tani-kun.
This normal Tani-kun, at the moment when he finds out his friend is a little bit different from “normal people”, what would he have done?
I think Tani-kun would take his time and carefully think it over. Or maybe, he wouldn’t think it over all that much, just lose himself in hanging out like highschoolers do, then go to band practice, then think about stuff seriously sometimes, I wonder if his mind went like that.
I’d thought a lot about how he felt like there was no need to distance himself from his friend who might have been a bit different from “normal”, and instead treated him normally.
It’s just like what he told Kusakabe in the movie.
Isn’t Tani-kun a good guy. Well, he thinks that Kusakabe is a good guy, so that’s why he said that to him.
Youth is the peak of life. It’s like heartthrobbing 100% lemon juice, but those words aren’t just for Kusakabe and Sajou, they’re also for Tani-kun.
Well, Tani-kun aside, the movie also had their band friends and school friends, Hatamata-sensei, the neesan running reception during the livehouse.
It’s an interesting project because the more you look at it, the more you’ll notice different things. Of course you’ll end up rooting for Kusakabe and Sajou as they gradually fall in love with each other, but it would also be fun to see the other things aside from that.
To those who haven’t seen it, watch it. To those who have seen it before, watch it again for a different viewpoint.

[Image description: A dynamic moment. Sephiroth is standing behind Cloud, his left hand resting on Cloud’s right shoulder. It could be a tender moment, but something has gone wrong. Sephiroth’s hand is too tight. Cloud is tense, twisting towards him, mouth open in a pained exclamation. Sephiroth is gripping his own arm tightly, his brows deeply furrowed and startled and afraid. His shaggy shoulder-length hair sways with his attempt to move away. Under Sephiroth’s left hand, Cloud’s shirt is starting to smolder and burn. end image description]
Cloud held the fractured half a face in both hands, carefully. Held up as if it were on a body roughly his size. Because it would have been. The reflection had looked so much like him before…
Well. Now he looked like one eye, most of a cheek, a few locks of hair, and half a mouth.
The mouth was the most recent addition. Cloud had pieced together the face over a month of dreams. Finding splintered fragments of him in the middle of nightmares. broken like porcelain, but they still felt like skin, and hair.
The mouth had come much later. A single visit in the middle of the night during Sephiroth’s long, stretching absence.
"You’re back!“ Cloud had cried, carrying the rest of the reflection’s broken face wrapped carefully in his jacket.
The reflection had shaken his head. Whispered “thank you,” and then he’d reached up. Clawed his own fingers into the hole in his head. Tore off one last chunk of his face. Then he had vanished again, just as abruptly.
