The purest form of love is consideration. When someone thinks about how things would make you feel. Pays attention to detail. Holds you in regard when making decisions that could affect you. In any bond, how much they care about you can be found in how much they consider you

The fact that Microsoft Word has to be a subscription is upsetting. I already paid for it why do I have to pay again

Damn, sometimes I really hate this fandom. Some of these people are just straight up nasty if things donāt go their way. God forbid an author take any personal time. Your favorite story is not worth the price of the authorās mental health.
Iām just so exited for POV to return!

Ok ok ok...
It's been almost 18 years since it aired, but who cares I'm talking about it anyway.
I've seen a lot of people hating on Cyberwoman. And yeah, I understand why. That costume choice was, er, quite something. But it's still my favourite episode and yk why? The build up. The plotline. And most of all the acting. Oh my god the acting. My favourite scene has got to be the tourist office, because oh my days have you seen the way Gareth David Lloyd plays Ianto? It gives me chills. After watching it, I rewatched Everything Changes and Ghost Machine because I never actually noticed Ianto in them, unless he's speaking. The only time you ever see him is when he intentionally draws attention to himself, which he rarely does. I watched them again, specifically focusing on Ianto. He's barely in them. He's one of the main 5 characters, but in the first three episodes he has one of the most minor roles. Like, you see him let Gwen into the Hub, delete the stuff she typed to make herself remember and see him introduced. That's it for episode one. And yes, everyone has a minor role in that, but you never actually see him as part of the team. He works alone, always.
Episode three really highlights that for me. He appears every so often with a funny comment. He has less screen time than Rhys. If it wasn't for the fact that I was actively thinking about him, I would have completely forgotten that he was there. One of his rare appearances really got to me - the ending. Jack gives him the ghost machine to put in the secure archives. That's normal, the archives are his area.
Except Jack doesn't even look at him. He just holds it out, like Ianto is a servant, not someone with years of experience dealing with aliens. Ianto worked at Torchwood One. He was the most qualified of anyone on that team when each of them joined. Owen was medically trained, but no experience with aliens. Tosh was a genius, but she had only experienced aliens through wrong blueprints of their technology, plus a charge of treason. Gwen had police training, nothing more. She got a job by being stubborn, and in the right place at the right time. Jack was reckless, dangerous, and did not want to join Torchwood. He only did it because he needed to do something in the 100+ years that he would be waiting for the Doctor.
Ianto had everything taken from him all at once, and nobody bothered to check on him. He looked fine, so they didn't give it any more thought. They of all people should know that that's not how it works. Ianto was repressing his grief, exhausting himself with the amount he worked both at his job and caring for Lisa. He never had any desire to cause anyone any harm. He was blinded by overwhelming grief. When humans experience loss, the automatic reaction is to cling to what you have. For most people, that means reaching out to friends and family, creating a support system. Ianto lost all his friends, all at once. We don't hear about his family until S3 (goddamn S3), but it's implied that they aren't close. I haven't listened to any of the audios, so if there's more to it than that then I don't know it.
Ianto had nothing, except an echo pretending to be Lisa. He did the most natural thing in the world, clung to what he had. Or at least, what he thought he had. Don't blame Ianto for the events of Cyberwoman. His actions correlate with normal reactions to grief. Yes, his actions were extreme. But so was his grief.

The issue with Ramesses wasn't actually about the screentime (I mean it didn't really help) but rather how she responded to the matter. "Be thankful he's alive" and switching to blaming fans who wanted to romance him when she's the one who offered to open the branch based on fan interest was a bit condescending and hurtful tbh.
Hi Anon, thanks for reaching out!
I totally get where you're coming from. My focus was on addressing the comments and "confessions" about Rame's screen time and fewer "romantic options" in Season 2. But hey, you donāt have to be a Remy fan to enjoy her stories.
I'm the kind of person who like to separate matters when itās required. As with JK Rowling and the Harry Potter universe, for example. I was absolutely never a fan of Rowling, but that didnāt stop me from fancying the universe that was part of my childhood.
Remy might not be everyone's cup of tea, but as long as her character doesnāt mess with the storytelling, there's not much to complain about. You can just ignore the author (like I do) and enjoy her stories on Romance Club. āŗļø

As someone very smart once said: "I try to stay away from a lot of fandom discourse, but since Iāve been seeing this on my dash again and in tags, I feel the need to make a statement on this, particularly for any young fans who follow me that might get drawn into this mindset."
First off, it's worth clarifying that Ramesses IS indeed a genuine ending LI. Remy simply mentioned that, being a later addition due to fan demand, his route might have slightly less screen time ā which makes sense.
Now, there's been chatter about Livius hogging the spotlight in Season 2, leaving fans of other LIs like Amen, Agnia, Ramesses, or even Set feeling a bit overlooked. But let's break it down logically:
Given Eva's current priorities of survival, settling her debt to Set, and unravelling the mystery of Isman, it's only natural for her to interact more with Set and Livius, her available allies. This isn't about Remy playing favourites; it's just the storyline unfolding organically.
With Amen posing a significant threat to Eva's safety (antagonist of the story, let me remind you), it's understandable that she's focused on dealing with him rather than indulging in romance.
As for Ramesses, his absence in Season 2 stems from his need to flee danger both from the Hunters and his brother Renmao. It's a waiting game until Eva can reunite with him as promised (and I romance him too, I know how excruciating this waiting can be).
I donāt have anything concrete to say about Agnia because, no offence to her followers, but I think her role in the story is a bit shallow and serves no purpose except being the LGBTQ+ LI (like Lima in KCOD, which is truly sadā¦). However, Agnia's role may seem limited at first glance, but recent developments reveal her as a formidable adversary to Eva. Her storyline mirrors Amen's, with Eva needing to tackle immediate challenges before considering romance.
As for Remy's reputation, while she may be a controversial figure, her storytelling prowess is undeniable. Her stories are always complete, with choices that truly matter. All routes a player can take thoughtfully lead to a specific outcome. I remember being so impressed reading Kali and finding out how many freaking endings there were not only based on your LI but also the path you were on, whether it was Loyalty/Independence BUT ALSO Rage/Kindness of Goddess as well as Respect. All your stats count in Remy's stories, and that's what makes her works so popular, so can we please give her some leeway here? You don't have to like the person she is, but at least her commitment to crafting immersive stories deserves some recognition.
Apologies for the long-winded explanation, and thanks for sticking with me till the end š«¶š».

Am I the only one who isnāt digging the new vibe Disney has given to Doctor Who? Let me clarify, I'm not critiquing the actors, storylines, or anything like that; Iām just not feeling the overall aesthetic ā that flashy, modern-age, 3D look theyāve given to the whole series just doesn't sit right with me. Itās hard to put into wordsā¦
It no longer carries that distinctive sci-fi essence; it's veering more towards a Disney princess fantasticalāfantasy. FYI, I grew up with the revived series helmed by Steven Moffat. Only later did I delve into the classic era post-watching Eccleston & Tennant portrayals and fell head over heels for the show. So, it's not about being a purist; it's just that this new visual style feels out of sync to meātoo childish and, frankly, unappealing. TBH, I had already sensed a decline in the series under the new producer/writer Chris Chibnall; his narratives lacked depth and coherence (plus, rewriting the Doctorās origins was a terrible idea!). Now, with this Disney partnership, it's like my beloved childhood series has morphed into yet another run-of-the-mill Stranger Things or 13 Reasons Why...
It's rather disheartening.

Okay, Astrea's Broken Heart just gave me huge EVIL (the TV series) vibes!
I mean, come on, the sceptic psychiatrist who comes to work with a bunch of supernatural investigators?! Except instead of working for the church, they're more like a Ghostbusters police force. It's obvious where the author, Elena K., got her inspiration from. āŗļø
Donāt get me wrong, I love the ideaāand the story so far. I love EVIL, I think it's the best supernatural tv series in a while (since the first seasons of Supernatural at least). I'm really looking forward to reading more chapters! (Mikael, you're so mine!) š„°
EDIT: I actually have more cross-references between the show and the book (cause it's WAY too obvious), but I don't want to spoil anyone who hasn't watched/read either of those yet. So Iām keeping my mouth shutā¦ for now š
#and cassiel is so ben shakirās counterpart!#also gave me some GHOSTS vibes too#cause of something said in the very first chapter#I think those investigatorsācassiel removedā have been dead for a long time#and they like haunting the Astrea's house#romance club#romance club app#astrea's broken heart#mild spoilers#romance club spoilers#evil#evil (tv show)#paramountās evil

Call me a pick me, but if some creator decides to write about a minority group I belong to but that they themselves are not a part of I'll be willing to overlook small inconsequential inaccuracies as long as the big picture feels accurate and respectful. If we want more representation we can't take the burden of making all of our representation ourselves and let outsiders take a shot at it as long as they're willing to do their research and listen to feedback. And if a little nuance or detail escapes the filter of accuracy I wouldn't mind if the whole sum of its parts is still good rep.

Finally feel like I can say something coherent, so here goes...
I say this without a shred of exaggeration: Akira Toriyama was legitimately one of the most important creative figures of the last 50 years. His work, especially Dragon Ball, has influenced SO much even outside its own medium. Movies, TV, cartoons, comic books, video games, MUSIC... all of it. You can see his fingerprints in so many other works. Even now, artists and writers, voice actors and animators, musicians and game devs are all mourning him and reflecting on the impact he had on their own work. Titans of anime and manga are sharing in this pain.
The craziest thing about this though? The humility he had in spite of it. He was always reluctant to be in the spotlight, preferred to keep his head down and just work, never really worried that much about public perception of himself. Part of what makes him such an icon, man.
Losing him is losing a piece of our shared history. It's something that resonates deep in the hearts of everyone his work touched. This is just... such a loss. And I can't even begin to imagine what his family is going through right now. Praying for them all.
Rest in Peace to a literal Legend, an absolute Icon, and a personal inspiration in more ways than I could ever express properly.
