I mean this more in the thematic sense than the literal one: where their lover has already made their choice to leave and it's a last-minute dash for them to get there in time to stop them. For a seemingly cliche trope I'm struggling to think of any really impactful instances. The best I can think of rn is 𝘞𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘞𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘠𝘰𝘶 and that one 𝘍𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘴 episode
My introduction to Lacuna Coil was when a friend put me onto 𝘚𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘳𝘰𝘸, and I listened to the entirety of 𝘚𝘭𝘦𝘦𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘌𝘮𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘦. The gothic metal sound is what I came to associate the band with
The music I listen to is predominantly nu-metal, so when I ended up stumbling onto 𝘜𝘱𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘯 I really latched onto it because of how bouncy the riff was and how different it was from what I thought the band was
Do they have any other songs similar to this? I had presumed if there were any they'd also be on 𝘋𝘢𝘳𝘬 𝘈𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦 but when I skimmed the album I couldn't find anything suited what I was after
I understand these are both casual rather than formal and I'd only be using them with Japanese-speaking friends rather than in public, but I'm struggling to understand the specific context each is used in
Like if I'm enjoying a meal with a friend would 「うまいっしょ?」be an weird thing to say? If I had fun watching a movie or something 「楽しかったじゃん!」be unusual to say walking out of the cinema?
Some context would be very appreciated from anyone who could help
I'm thinking anything along the lines of 𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘞𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘕𝘰𝘯𝘦, or 𝘉𝘰𝘥𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘉𝘰𝘥𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘉𝘰𝘥𝘪𝘦𝘴 for a more modern example. With a limited cast where no other characters can get in or out, people get taken out one by one until you figure out who the killer is. I realized recently how much I love this trope but how hard it is to think of actual examples in movies
Mine is from SxF. One of the main characters Anya is an orphan and will only call her adopted parents ちち/はは instead of おとうさん/おかあさん as is standard. When I researched this I realized it's because from her time the orphanage she only ever heard people talking about parents in the third person and no one ever corrected her that there's a difference when addressing your parents directly, which is a really cool detail for the author to think of
Are there any details for you that stood out since you started learning Japanese?
I saw a source online tell me both are common shorthand for お疲れ様, not that I've texted enough Japanese-speaking people to have encountered either. Are they really that commonly used? If so which one is more preferable over the other or does it depend on the demographic of person I'm talking to?
As far as I had been aware only three scenes of it existed on YouTube. Now I'm seeing Letterboxd reviews talking about watching 80 minute versions of it online?? Even if it's not the full thing is there any site or online resource where can access it?
So I'm looking for the specific vibe of the protagonist and their best friends stuck in something that should be objectively horrifying, but they end up making fun out of it instead. Even if it nosedives into proper horror towards the end is fine
My candidates are:
Upsidedown - Lacuna Coil
Mr.NEWSMAN - Dir En Grey
Sleep Now In The Fire - RATM
Taking Me Alive - Dark New Day
Headache - Motionless In White
I'm very new to the powerscaling scene and I want to know if there are any specific channels or resources that are unanimously held to acclaim for their accuracy or consistency. Bonus points if they're approachable to new audiences but I think I'd catch up eventually either way

And because I know people are going to bring it up in the comments, yes I know there have been a few instances where Bruce and Dinah have got together. But in most current iterations Dinah is married to Oliver Queen and Bruce is still loyal to Selina in one way or another. Hell in the exact issue I got this panel from: Dinah literally gets on one knee and proposes to Oliver 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯 right after this reunion with Bruce. She and Bruce work together a lot during their patrols of Gotham and are still very supportive friends to each other
It's very aware to me that majority of the Japanese movies I've seen are the ones that blew up overseas: any Ghibli movie really, the 𝘎𝘰𝘥𝘻𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘢 movies, 𝘊𝘶𝘳𝘦 or 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘎𝘳𝘶𝘥𝘨𝘦 or any of those. I have no idea how well these reflect which Japanese movies are actually popular in their own country. For example with Western movies, everyone and their mother knows 𝘑𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘤 𝘗𝘢𝘳𝘬 or 𝘍𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘎𝘶𝘮𝘱 or 𝘐𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘢𝘳, and I want to know which movies are on a similar pedestal in the cultural zeitgeist over in Japan
I don't want to scroll through lists of award nominees cause if the Academy Awards taught me anything it's that the list is just going to be biased. Looking at highest grossing movies over there feels ineffective too
Where could I look to get a better sense of which movies are popular?
My friend I'm learning Japanese with just texted me 「学割あり鱒か？」I understood the question, but I'd never seen the (鱒) kanji before and I looked it up to find it means trout, but it still reads (ます) as the question would normally go
Is this a common shorthand or did they just make this up? I'm embarrassed to ask them directly in case this is a common thing I didn't know about
I think I've got a grasp on most other Japanese emoji, but these are confusing me a bit. Some example sentences showing their context would be helpful too

I saw this post recently explaining why the kanji 草 is used as a substitute for lol in Japanese texting. Are there any other similar examples?
I saw it mentioned in an online list of loanwords, allegedly named after the Imperial Viking restaurant being the first in Japan to serve buffet-style meals. Is there any truth to this?
My first name in katakana would ideally be ジョシュア, and I have no problems with it. But since I've been young all my closest friends (we're all English speakers) have called me Wa as a nickname from the last syllable of my first name and it's really grown on me. If I were given a Japanese style nickname I'd much rather it be ワくん or ワさん to suit this, as opposed to ジョさん or smthng like that, but that would only really work if my name is written as ジョシュワ instead... which doesn't drastically affect the pronunciation but you can tell it's still off
I don't have any close Japanese friends as of the moment so it's not like this is remotely relevant to anything. Just asking if it's unusual or even unnecessary to intentionally 'misspell' my name like this
