I check the #Edgar Allan Poe hashtag on occasion, and I'm always amused that it's at least 50% some anime that has Poe as a character.
Anyway good luck to the RanPoe shippers out there, I hope our boy Poe hooks up with Ran, whoever that is.
“He knew almost instinctively that ‘he is not the person he takes himself to be.’ He also thought that ‘Through the head may be mistaken, the blood never is. Even though it may, at first glance, seem mistaken, it is, in reality, the thing which makes us take the course most faithful to ourselves, not to say the most prudent.’ He knew that 'There are unknown things within us that are wiser than we ourselves,’ and in deciding on a plan for his own life, he gave all his strength…He never hesitated to discard all other things.”

This is worded differently, but this is the original English translation of:
"he would not fucking say that" i say with disgust, but im not talking about characterization im talking about his, like, vocabulary
something the retro art people forget is that the past still exists in those time periods. Like those photos where every single iconic 80s thing is in the kid’s bedroom–no one lived like that outside of the very wealthy and/or the movies.
Someone kicking around in 1985 was probably living in a house built decades prior, and their parents last renovated in the 70s before the kids were born–because there’s no money for that when you had kids.
I mean look around today, there are plenty of people 10+ years behind the times. Old cars are out there, old fashions, old music–the present day is haunted by the past around every corner, the date doesn’t roll over to a new decade and all the old stuff doesn’t just disappear–it’s all still here.
Those achingly period-appropriate homes you see in movies and TV are just that–sets. Unless you just moved into a brand new home and all your stuff was lost in a fire so you had to replace it your home is not going to be all modern present day shit.
This is also something a lot of future-fiction doesn’t get–the future will have a lot of the past in it, because as humans bumble through life they pick things up and they don’t discard them–Someone who is 40 in 2040 is going to have shit from the 20′s when they got their first apartment or whatever, their home may have been built in 2000 and last remodeled in 2030…what I mean is cutting edge fashions and styles exist on TV but rarely in real life.
