The blessed time of Cab Calloway of his orchestra and his extraordinary dancers.

Darius could have said, “Nope, I am sorry Eberwolf, but I have do what’s best for the many,” and kept attacking despite what Belos would do. But he didn’t. He stopped instantly and fell right back into line. Really reminds me a great deal of him not wanting to help Eda pull Luz out of Belos’s mind until he found out Hunter was in there as well. Darius really says, “We follow the plan until someone I love is in danger, and then the plan means shit.”
I like to imagine that during every BAMF moment Nagisa has, Karma is responsible for special effects. The wind dramatically blowing Nagisa’s hair? Karma’s slightly off-screen with a fan on the perfect setting. A dramatic light shines on Nagisa? You know Karma is being Supportive Boyfriend™️ with a spotlight. Every time Nagisa’s bloodlust shows a snake? Karma’s throwing a rubber snake and filming it up close with a cool background to amp up Nagisa’s moment.
Holy shit!!!!!!!!
The distinctive and memorable Thailand-only covers for the Harry Potter novels.
the canonical parents in this series are literally the weirdest candidates for the title bc we have:
yaga: notorious hardass principal of a magic school that trains child soldiers and whose kids are all sentient puppets. a pretty decent dad overall tho, 8.5/10.
getou: genocidal cult leader who’s been in a progressively worsening downward spiral since he was 17. a surprisingly decent dad, 6/10 because the bar is so fucking low that encouraging homicide and being practically idolized by your family is nowhere near the sketchiest shit a parent in this series has done and his kids actually like him.
zen’in clan: powerful clan who’s also abusive, misogynistic, and old-fashioned with a side dish of alcoholism and a propensity for trying to kill their kids. 0/10, and the only reason it’s not lower is because the twins’ mom stabbed naoya and secretly liked them i guess.
touji: assassin-for-hire with a gambling habit and very low regard for almost everyone other than himself with, like, one and a half exceptions. 2/10 because he made a bare minimum effort to keep his son alive, but was also neglectful, completely disregarded his daughter’s existence, and almost sold his son to one direction.
kenjaku: ancient body-snatcher who has had multiple infamous incarnations and is implied to have done some incredibly disturbing shit to their partners and kids for the sake of experimentation and their grand plan. -10000/10, i don’t think you can possibly get worse
kamo clan: powerful clan #2 who’s also neglectful, misogynistic, probably abusive, and old-fashioned. hey, by the way, why would you name a kid after one of the worst sorcerers to have ever lived, what’s wrong with you? 0/10 because i don’t think they actively tried to kill their heir.
kamo’s mom: seemed pretty alright and actually cares about her kid. he seems to like her a lot. 8/10.
gojou: world’s most powerful sorcerer and one of Japan’s Top 10 Worst Personalities but actually cares about kids and has a pretty decent track record of keeping them alive, even if most of them don’t like him very much. 8/10.
The picture of edas friends as children, reminding us that all these adults, allies and villains alike, were once children. They were abused and indoctrinated by the same system that some of them are using to abuse and indoctrinate kids now. A few of them like alador and darius were able to see whats wrong and fight for a better world. But people like odalia sided with the emperor until it was too late because thats the only thing theyve ever known. And then it cuts to adult lilith and raine and shows how a lifetime of living under this system has sapped the joy out of them. How as kids they never would have thought to make their last stand against they system thats been there their whole lives. Its the lifetime of trauma and the perpetuation of the cycle of abuse for me
Belos stop making DIY clones challenge
