This was the bitchiest bitch moment Aziraphale had in all 2 seasons. Thank you for your service, respectfully, I am deceased.

oh i am absolutely obsessed with the way crowley assumes everyone falls in love exactly the way he did. what if a sudden rainstorm forces them beneath a canopy indeed, like oh, did you get caught in the rain once and fall head over heels in love with the angel giving you shelter, crowley? is that what happened? i love this show

GIVEN | A New Revelation on Akihiko and THAT SCENE [GIVEN MOVIE SPOILERS]

Ok I've come up with a new revelation and I don't want to excuse Akihiko for what he did but in one scene and in the manga, akihiko actually says that whenever he stayed over at other people houses other people always “asked for something in return.” He “slept around and did things he couldn’t even joke about.” So new interpretation was that when he came over the Haruki’s, what he did was awful, but for a second I believe he felt really abandoned since he heard about Haruki playing support for another band. I believe that he thought him making an advance was what Haruki wanted because he knew that Haruki liked him. Akihiko thought that Haruki wanted something in return but then he was still hurting from the previous fight with Ugetsu so that’s why he was basically acting on angry impulse with Haruki and wasn’t listening to Haruki when Haruki was telling him to stop because clearly Haruki didn’t want things to happen this way because he saw how much pain Akihiko was in. So yes it was still an awful scene, but it gives a new level of insight that it’s not really actually super out of character for Akihiko, he always never felt like he had a place to call home because people always asked for potentially sexual favours in return so in that moment of hurt, he was like oh, "I might as well just be a sex doll to Haruki too since that’s all I am to ugetsu and other people".

I find Akihiko's character fascinating because he can be incredibly observant and insightful of other people non-verbal cues of romance such as between Uenoyama and Mafuyu and of course Haruki but the toxicity of his 'situationship' with Ugetsu completely blindsight him sometimes from Haruki's affections AND from seeing the deeper meaning behind Ugetsu's hurtful actions.

LOVE LANGUAGE

And I think another interesting aspect is that Akihiko’s love language is touch. Like how he and ugetsu got together was also he hugs ugetsu and in the given anime when he’s flirting with haruki, he expresses it through touch. And as we see in the final confession scene, he confesses while hugging haruki. This is why when Ugetsu sleeps with other people, it hurts him so much so he lashes out and covers his own pain by sleep with other people too. This playboy part of him he tries to actually hide from haruki because it’s something that he needs but also he hates about himself.

I think what’s complex about Akihiko's character is that he discovers that Haruki’s love language is actually words of validation, like Akihiko actually says some really insightful things sometimes and brings Harukis self esteem up (like in the scene where Haruki feels inferior to the other band members). Also Akihiko through living with Haruki discovers that acts of service and other forms of love language are equally valuable and beautiful so I think it’s so powerful that in the given movie, we see this «physical scene » as an uncomfortable one but the rest of it is scenes of Haruki and Akihiko and their relationship blossoming in other love languages. So I actually really appreciated the mangaka's/directorial choice of them just hugging at the end and nothing more. Big CLAP to Akihiko for asking for consent! Haruki and Akihiko, as shown in the anime are fantastic friends first and foremost that grew to understand each other on a deeper level in the movie.

So where to from here?

I really want to dig more into Haruki's backstory. I really want to know why he was ok to be in a one sided love for so long and also why he can feel easily hurt or uplifted by words. I wonder if in a past relationship, there was a partner that he had where he was constantly being put down. Also he was always hoping for something to happen but isn't always actively in pursuit of what he wants. So I'd really like to know more deeply about his story and maybe see a character growth arc where he actively chases after something that he wants rather than be the safety net of Akihiko and Given.

Masha The Hero

They forgot the part where the ambulance actually stopped to let the cat in

oh good I was worried

What a good cat. What a kind cat. How can anyone not love cats they are so good and loving.

they also forgot the part where they only found the baby because masha was screaming her head off bc she knew this baby was in danger. she went around outside the alley the next morning and yelled at passerby until she got one to follow her to the baby. she kept him warm all night and then made sure someone found him. she was adopted after this bc she was a stray and is in a loving home and is a hero

Hero cat

Thank you, Masha, you’re such a good girl.

See.

Kittens can’t regulate their own body temperature. That’s why they pile up.

Cats see us as colony members.

Masha saw a kitten that was on its own, no mommy, no other kittens to cuddle with. She instinctively knew that was a cold kitten. She knew that a kitten alone on a cold night was very likely to die. Because a kitten would have died too.

So, all she was doing was what any good colony member does - protecting the abandoned kitten. Then when the abandoned kitten’s mommy didn’t come back, she called the rest of the colony for help.

People have this bizarre idea that housecats don’t have a social sense. They do, and it saved this kid’s life. And possibly Masha’s too, as life on the streets is dangerous for a kitty.

We say “good dog” all the time, but Masha was being a very, very good cat…not just by human moral standards but by feline ones.

Rebloging again because who can resist Masha the Hero cat 😻😻😻
