literally just zoomed through yalls htp au and i havent seen anyone talk about it but i find it SO interesting how Bravo, who is supposed to be the GOOD overworlder, is rather prideful and honestly just a dick while Tango, supposedly his EVIL counterpart, is just the sweetest guy. i cant imagine how Tango is derived from the worst parts of Bravo, if im understanding hels correctly. Tango is such a good person, while Bravo is rude to everyone with the worst attitude. it was just something i picked up so quickly. if the universe put him in hels in the first place, there must be a reason why the universe swapped his place with his overworld counterpart.

on another note! with the release of secret life, and what we've seen so far, how do you think htp!tango would fare in this new killing game? i cant help but imagine that with the entire gimmick being keeping secrets that he would be rather stressed, knowing he had hidden stuff from his friends already-- lying doesnt make him feel like a good person (but he isnt supposed to be that, some small part of him is whispering, knowing hes from hels, is all of the "bad" parts of bravo)

anyways! this is all i will be able to think of for the rest of the week /vpos and i hope you (and everyone who may be reading this at any given time) have a great rest of spooky month!

well THANK YOU this was a lovely message to receive, and i’m glad you’re enjoying the au ^^

i’ve talked a little bit about this here and there, but i’ll never pass up the chance to ramble more. there are a few key things about bravo and tango that make them different from the average overworld-hels pair.

ANALYSIS/RAMBLE BELOW

first off, most of what we’ve seen of tango has been set during double life, which is ten years after he escaped hels, so he’s had ten years of growth. we see very little of him before this, and in those scenes he’s got the benefit of being largely alone. the only player he interacts with is xisuma, who tango immediately realizes he needs to ‘trick.’ so his interaction with x in part one isn’t how tango would’ve interacted with virtually any other player in hels at that time.

we see from the flashback in part five that younger pre-hels tek tango was borderline feral- he chose to attack atlas on sight instead of trying to hide, or leave before he was seen, or even see why atlas was there. now, atlas wins him over fairly quickly because tango is young and naive and secretly craving positive interaction, but even in that brief interaction tango is a bit more prideful than his older self. that, of course, got beaten out of him at hels tek.

bravo, on the other hand, we follow closely during his ten years in hels. when he first arrives in part two, he’s a little snide and privately judgemental, sure, but he starts out perfectly decent towards timmy. he tries to maintain that civility and ‘niceness’ as he interacts with more and more hels players, but gradually loses his willpower as he gets beaten down and frustrated, even losing his temper. and after he fully snaps and gets his first kills, he all but abandons the notion of being ‘nice’, though privately he still thinks of himself as inherently better than hels players (atlas’s manipulation certainly doesn’t help matters, either).

but perhaps the biggest point is to look at what traits tango actually got from bravo, and that would be his rage. bravo is most similar to tango when he’s angry; his first little temper tantrum in part two is where it’s best illustrated, because all instances after that have been influenced by his time in hels. but you’ll notice that we have yet to see tango truly angry in the HTP series (he did revert back to an almost feral mindset when the ranch got attacked, but that was an instinctive defense mechanism. there was no conscious thought behind those decisions, and they were purely fueled by fear, not anger). that will be where his ‘hels’ really shines through.

there’s one other bravo trait amplified in tango that i haven’t revealed yet. it’s something that tango has figured out how to sort of ‘mask’ via other more acceptable coping mechanisms- if you can call it that- and actually forms a fairly significant part of his personality. stay tuned :3

as for secret life, it’d be a complicated situation for sure. on one hand, their goals are less outright malicious- just complete the tasks and try to survive (at least for now). in a way, it almost takes away accountability for their actions if they turn out to be harmful- “i had to, it was my secret task!” so that’s nice to fall back on. but still, tango would be very on edge. not only with the discomfort of having to lie to his friends, but never knowing if they’re lying to him, too. boi’s got them trust issues fr.

#hels to pay au #HTP ask #mmmmm I LOVE CHARACTER ANALYSIS #thank u for the opportunity to ramble

Remember that.” Those are the words you say right before jumping into a one night stand with Jeon Jungkook, the man who’s constantly annoying you with his college fling stories. You decide maybe just this once you’ll play into his game and prove that he’s no more average than the rest.

because i love you ch. 10 @readyplayerhobi

Tbf to Dorothea's hypocrisy on CF, couldn't that be blamed more on the fact that the vast majority of the optional recruits in that route are written heavily out-of-character so they can side with Edelgard, including Dorothea herself?

It doesn't fix 3H not realizing that she's much more priviliged than an average commoner, but i feel like Dorothea being hypocritical on CF is is more an example of that route's generally clownish character writing than something specifically wrong with her imo.

character hate under the cut it goes

If it weren't for Ferdinand I'd say sure, but that specific aspect of her hypocrisy stays with her no matter the route. She's never angry at Edelgard. Ever. She's only ever regretful that they have to fight each other, and never shows off that she feels betrayed by Edelgard's actions. She can stay pissed at Ferdinand for what he did as a fuckin' NINE YEAR OLD CHILD put into AN INSANELY FLUSTERING SITUATION for a child to be randomly put into out of nowhere - and stay mad at him FOR OVER A DECADE - because it hurt her feelings, but she had a chill year with Edelgard (that gets revealed to her to be built on a foundation of lies and blood) so that means she's chill with Edelgard's

ATTEMPTED

MURDER

and will NEVER bring that event up, and will NEVER get pissed at her for doing it. Even though HER LIFE WAS NEARLY ENDED because of it.

And also, she still does explicitly hate nobility on all routes - she will lambast them for crawling back to the player's army once Edelgard is defeated out of self-interest. She'll praise and cry for Bergliez for giving up his life to spare his men, and that and hating nobles would all be just fine... except she does all this without ever acknowledging who exactly it was that caused Bergliez's sacrifice to be a necessity in the first place. You know, the one who threw everyone into war? For her own benefit? That thing Dorothea literally just got finished showing off she didn't like nobles doing? But it's fine if her bestie does it!

So, not really - while CF certainly does exacerbate these issues in Dorothea, they are always there to some degree regardless of where she's at

#ask #anon #character hate #like i get that a lot of this is likely a side effect of Everyone Needing To Make EdeIgard Look Good #and that D/orothea was just hit EXTERMELY hard with this #but it doesn't really help her any given how the rest of her character tends to act anyway #because like. she still can't support any commoners save for one (when not counting the player character)#CF didn't do that to her that was all her #it's stuff like that that gets on my nerves regarding her #hope that clears things up! and if i seem snappy nonnie i swear it's not towards you specifically lmao

Atsumu spots Osamu easily among the crowd – twin things. There’s that and the fact that he and his brother are usually a full head taller than the average population of Japan. The volleyball player swerves through, dodging the flailing hands of a dancer and traversing some sticky footing. Pleasantly buzzed from a night of inebriation, he’s not even annoyed when a guy accidentally bumps into him; yet the sight he arrives to makes him immediately scowl.

Osamu likes to label what he does as “customer service” and for some reason, the dang guy can’t seem to turn it off. He smiles at randos he passes in the streets and if one of them decides to say hi to him, he can’t keep walking and pretend he didn’t hear them like Atsumu always does.

The convenience store near his ma’s house had always been a five minute walk, three if they’d just earned their pocket money and were racing each other down for first pick of an ice cream. Nowadays, his dear brother can extend the trip double with Atsumu’s arms crossed and his foot tapping like he’s five again and his ma just saw one of her friends in a grocery store and was “catching up”.

“What took ya so long?” Ma would ask with her head tilted, hair up and fan pointed at her while she stirred a pot of soba noodles.

“I blame ya!” Atsumu would then point with Osamu completely indifferent to the exchange. He’d dutifully wash the radish they’d been sent out to get and begin grating it. His ma, though, quirks an amused brow which would irritate him further and make him flop onto the couch like he’d always do after they lost a game. “I blame ya and ya chatty genes he inherited.”

“Saw Yamada on the way,” Osamu would offer without looking up.

“Oh? How is he? How are the kids?”

“He’s good. Kids are good, too. The oldest one’s got a cultural festival coming up. He invited us.”

“We should go!”

“Already told him we would.”

And Atsumu finds his brother in another absolutely irrelevant conversation, this time, about TVs for some reason. The blonde wraps an arm around his brother’s shoulder, the other recognizing his touch immediately without so much of a glance to him. Twin things.

“Ya getting tired?” Atsumu asks and pointedly ignores Osamu’s company, turning his cheek away from them to speak into the cook’s ears. It seems he wasn’t discrete enough because when Osamu nods, one of them pipes up with an unwarranted statement.

“My friend is single,” said friend looks sheepish, but the other one, the one who’s wingmanning, seems adamant with eyes wide and focused on Osamu, “like really single and she’s got a house really close by.”

Osamu’s reaction is much too slow for Atsumu. Or maybe Atsumu’s just fast because he grabs his brother’s left hand and displays it aggressively, shaking the limb for effect.

“And he’s got a ring right on ‘im!” The athlete doesn’t even wait for a reaction. He turns around and leads his brother out of the venue. When the din of the bar dulls and there’s enough fresh air to clear the stickiness from his pores, Atsumu finally smacks the back of Osamu’s head.

The cook parries with his own slap.

“What are ya on, Tsumu?” He asks while rubbing his nape.

The stupid question makes him want to hit his brother again but he settles for a shove this time. “Ya gotta stop doing that!”

Osamu doesn’t get a chance to defend himself as they walk past a group of friends which turns the blonde smug. He’ll take all the wins he can get.

“What are ya talking about?”

“Ya gotta stop talking to people and being nice and shit.”

“It’s called being friendly, Tsumu. Ya should try it.”

“Ya don’t need any more friends,” Atsumu huffs, turning his head away, embarrassed. “Ya got two best friends already.”

Osamu’s grin is conspiratorial, “are ya saying that you’re one of ‘em?”

The blonde flushes, small red spots peeking through the unbuttoned portion of his shirt, mad that he’s so easy to read, angry because his brother sees right through him. “I better be!” Then he tries to deflect by pushing his brother again. Osamu bodies him with his shoulder in response. “And ya got one waiting for ya at home so let’s go. I’m tired of hanging out with these scrubs.”

The streets are more quiet now. There’s the sound of their steps and the soft huff of their breath and the rustle of their clothes, and even the bar’s music is just muffled noise that makes Osamu’s gaze seem so loud. He stares for a moment until his eyes fall to his feet. He nods with a small muttering of thanks.

If Atsumu is easy to read, then so is he. Neither of them need their emotions to be shown so expressly. It’s simply intuitive so there’s no reason to dwell on it.

Atsumu knocks into his brother again, “don’t thank me yet. I’m snitching ya out!”

“Ya instigating!” Osamu grins as he pushes his brother’s cheek, “I didn’t do anything!”

#reina.writeshaikyuu!!#haikyuu #haikyuu!!#haikyuu fluff #miya atsumu #miya osamu #uhm this is not an x reader fic right?#like yeah you're at home. you've got a ring with osamu. but this is just two bros being bros right?

Hi booky!!! Marketing anon here.

Again, here to remind everyone that I don’t work in entertainment.

However, a little tidbit: I have to do a press release for something my company recently got recognized for but our “big heads” are a bit disappointed we didn’t get the title we wanted. So we’re still doing a PR but we’re doing it for the headline to say we’re a “industry leader” - and that’s basically what our motive is. Get our SEO up, showing that our name shows up when you search industry leader and hoping media wants to talk to us to learn more. We also have a big conference event coming up so we’re hoping to release the PR in advance of attending the conference (you guessed it, to put our name out there to the people who matter).

Why am I bringing this up?

Again, I don’t know what the overall goal and plan is for CE/ PR team but he’s listed as married in his Wikipedia and I think, personally, that’s the most important reason. He needs to be married to someone so who it is isn’t really super important because the average person isn’t going to continue to look past that.

Now when people google him they will see he is married and allegedly settled down. He’s got recent pics with him with a ring on. And I’ll be honest, even for myself, when I see someone, a man especially, with a wedding ring on I for some reason automatically think, “stable.” I don’t know why. It’s so strange because I myself don’t even believe in marriage LOL but when I see someone else “linked up” I’m like oh ok good for you. ESP men and famous men for that. This may be a weird heteronormative brainwashing thing or I just have issues lol.

Also, I’m going to use Jeremy Renner for comparison. Jeremy was briefly married to Sonni Pacheco, his wife who he had one child with. She’s also 15 years younger and since their divorce has been pretty messy…lol. But there have always been rumors of Jeremy being a wild child and heavy partying and etc so when you google him to see, hey, he was married. He is a father. Despite the fact that he also married a nobody and she seems pretty intent on being a clout chaser or at least making him look bad, he still looks semi stable. He is a father, and he loves his kid. He was married - yes he is now divorced and he also recently survived a terrible accident so people are focusing on his amazing recovery and him being a good dad and not on whatever is going on with his divorce.

I have a sneaking suspicion these types of marriages happen to more people in Hollywood than you think. Especially with the men who have a bit of reputation for being players, wild partying, eternal bachelorhood…or even, a former playboy heartthrob turned beloved internet bf who just wants to find happiness and settle down. That way, once they do have that title of being settled down, the hope may be to refocus the attention on something else. Work, career, other endeavors, and less on personal life. Especially if CE’s current marriage narrative is that he’s being private. Now there’s going to be the trash tabloids talking all day about pregnancy and kids and family and etc etc. As upsetting as that can be for some fans, remember that settled down and stability often does include talk about kids and family. I think they’re just having a time of it because the fans so deeply loathe his wife. I don’t think anyway they spin it will make people welcome this pairing and potential kids more.

This is just my opinion though.

…

In regards to CE redeeming himself…please don’t take this the wrong way, but the public won’t care enough to look past who he married. I know some blogs on here are trying to mold a narrative the public condemns him now but I really don’t believe that’s true. I don’t think he needs to do any public redeeming because no, some angry comments on his IG regarding her is not the majority. I am sorry, but it is not.

The public losing interest does not = condemn.

He’s just fading in starmeter because well, he’s sort of had his time to shine, right? That’s usually what happens to most people. Look at the top list of highest grossing actors this year vs 2019. This year is all people who were in the biggest stuff. They had the most press and limelight.

CE and half the avengers were on the top list back in 2019. I remember this because at the time, some of my friends were googling him them because he had such a huge year. Do you see what I mean?

What goes up must come down. But it doesn’t mean he can’t come back in the future. Look, just because he got “married” doesn’t mean his life is over. It’s only over if he chooses to let it be over.

Please kindly remember that AB is not known to the GP as anyone other than the person who is married to him. I have my doubts she’ll ever be known as anything but but again, don’t quote me. I just don’t see her becoming this big star or even lukewarm star simply because she has sort of proven she has no draw or IT factor.

The one group he may have to “redeem” himself to is his fanbase. This one is tougher to navigate because I don’t know what their endgame will be in terms of what he does with his now marriage status. For now, he just looks like he’s settled down. I think the GP has more or less stopped checking for him in regards to anything else related to that, and from what it looks like, they were never even checking for AB even though she just had a movie release in the states. Lol.

I think the issue with AB is more that she’s been reliant on using someone else to get attention for two years now. So her boosts in fame will always have to be through him. I doubt that makes her very happy because from what I can infer, I think she wants to be famous on her own due to the public magically adoring her. If she had been truly content just being the wife she would have done more to boost HIM and leverage herself by association. Think of the other gf/wives of famous men. Don’t they always seem to boost themselves off being around their guys and getting people to like bOTH of them together? And then by association, people will follow them for more cute content and breadcrumbs. I think hemsworth’s wife does it, Blake lively as Ryan reynold’s wife does, Henry cavill’s gf does, Eva mendes’ does for Ryan gosling, and etc. all of these women are all actually people who do have their own careers but their husbands/partners are clearly the bigger stars. They lean into it and boost themselves at the same time.

AB does not. Maybe she’s not allowed to lol but also - she always only posts things about herself to try and draw the attention to herself. Her posting HIS dog was to draw attention to her. Her posting around the time he has work stuff but ignoring his work and basically acting like he doesn’t exist doesn’t help her at all but it’s what they’ve decided to do.

She was DOA before she even arrived. I honestly recommend if you are still a fan of his to just try and ignore her. It’s all you can do. If you cannot separate her from him then please consider just letting him go.

I am sorry if this is not what people want to hear. But I cannot know what they’re trying to do behind the scenes but I do think CE is pivoting to have people focus on his career and work instead. This can be a good thing. He may never regain that fanbase back because unfortunately of who he decided to let himself be linked to but it doesn’t mean the future is set in stone.

Have a good day booky! (Please angry anons do not come for the mod. Its just one stranger’s opinion)

Always a pleasure to read your replies, Marketing An🫶n. Especially with the good points you continue to make ❤️

You had me worried that you weren't able to read my posts 😅🥹 I'm glad that you are though 😁

As for angry an🫶ns and readers... Honestly, it's fine... It means they're accepting my welcome invitation for a vent space. Which honestly, everyone needs.

Until the next one, Marketing An🫶n 😊

✏️✏️✏️, your choice!

:) yvette brainworms today (and everyday)

Combat Medic

Being the designated healer is a necessary job, but it isn't a glamorous one. While everyone else is having all the fun mixing it up with the bad guys, the medic is stuck in the back watching life bars go up and down, and throwing out the occasional Status Buff. Then again, they don't want to be up front, because they're squishy as hell and everyone's gunning for them. This is usually not a problem when one player's controlling an entire party, but this starts to break down in cases where one guy's playing the support. While some are perfectly fine with this (being the medic means you'll get invited to just about any party), for others, the support classes just aren't that exciting. The solution? Give The Medic some teeth, and you've got yourself a Combat Medic.

Anger Born of Worry

A lot of things make people angry. Minor insults. Their own reflection. Awful jobs. This trope is when a character is angry because some fool they love put themselves in danger. It's the caring that really makes the trope. The most common variation is that they embrace the person they thought was in danger into their arms and tell them they're glad they're safe, followed by them saying something to the effect of "Don't you ever do that to me again!". This is seen from any kind of loved one, from a Best Friend, especially sidekicks giving a What the Hell, Hero? speech, someone's One True Love terrified of a Heroic Sacrifice, or parents when their children return from whatever world-saving adventure they've been on.

Mentor in Sour Armor

Some mentors are gentle to their students. Not the one in Sour Armor. This renowned warrior's tongue is as sharp as their weapons, and they're not afraid to use it. Your average Mentor in Sour Armor has been through quite a lot; whatever the case, they put on the Jade-Colored Glasses long ago, and their biting wit is as close as they really come to showing emotions under most circumstances. They're on the side of good, but Good Is Not Nice. [...] Beneath all that snarky abrasiveness, though, they do have a soft side, and care about their apprentice more than they want to admit. Their snark is hardly ever just to be mean; they've got a point to make and don't see a reason to mince words. If a Mentor in Sour Armor smiles, it's a big deal.

college au where momo gets jealous because of sana this time instead

Momo was careful to keep quiet as she moved about the small kitchen, chopping vegetables and trying not to let the pot boil over. She was by no means a chef, but she certainly knew how to throw together a good breakfast.

One of the bedroom doors opened and she turned to find Mina shuffling into the room, eyelids half-closed, oversized T-shirt hanging off her small frame, and a blanket draped around her. She sat at the kitchen table with a yawn.

“Good morning.” Momo whispered.

Mina rubbed her eyes and hummed a greeting back.

Momo smiled and poured her a cup of the coffee she’d brewed earlier. She thanked her, a much more cheerful smile on her face now despite still being half asleep.

“Whatcha making?”

“Miso and eggs. And some vegetables.”

“Mmm… My favorite miso soup in the world.” Mina pulled her blanket tighter around her shoulders and Momo smiled; their youngest roommate was adorable, even if she was more in control of her life than Momo would ever be.

“You’re in luck, it’s for the whole apartment.”

Mina flashed another sleepy gummy-smile. Momo heard the door to the third bedroom unlock and her heart raced for a second as she found Sana standing in the doorway. She was the reason she’d even decided to cook a nice breakfast – she thought Sana could use a bit of cheering up lately.

“Goodmorning, Satang.” Mina smiled.

“Morning.” Sana beamed. Momo smiled back. Unlike Mina, she was dressed for the day already. Her hair had been styled with a bit more thought, she could tell, her clothes a little dressier than her average Saturday sweatpants look. She somehow looked like a movie star. She filled a mug with coffee and sat down at the kitchen table with Mina.

“Someone looks awfully fancy for ten a.m. Saturday morning. What happened to not being alive before noon on weekends?” Momo cocked her head, beginning to spoon out the miso soup into bowls.

“If you must know, darling roommate, I have brunch plans.”

Momo deflated a little at the change of plans, but brushed it off. Brunch would cheer Sana up, too, she was sure. She hoped.

“We weren’t invited to brunch?” Mina gasped dramatically.

“Mina, we’re uncool.” Momo added, placing a bowl of soup in front of her and going back for the sides. “You know that.”

Sana rolled her eyes. “I’m just meeting a friend at a café for coffee and pastries.”

“We know your one other friend, you know, you can say Dahyun.” Momo teased as she piled vegetables and rice onto a plate.

“Ha-ha.” Sana made a face at her. “You’re funny. Not Dahyun this time, Momoring, It’s a boy from my English language class.”

Momo froze. A boy from class? Momo had never heard of a boy from class; she thought back - no, Sana had not once mentioned a boy. Not from class, not from anywhere, not since she told them about her highschool crush on the freckle-faced tennis player who went on to go pro.

“Ooh, one of the suitors throwing themselves at your feet actually got a chance?” Mina laughed.

“They’re not suitors, Mina, don’t be so weird.” Sana laughed. “His name’s Seonhwa, he’s from the states.”

“If he’s from the states, why is he in English class?” Mina tilted her head.

“You’re from the states and you don’t speak English.”

“That’s different. I was bornthere, I’m not from there.”

Sana giggled. “I’ll ask him. I’m sure he just wanted the easy A.”

“Well that’s dishonest of him.” Momo said with more bite than she meant it to. The kitchen paused, obviously confused on why Momo’s only contribution to the conversation thus far sounded so angry. Momo winced.

“I mean,” Sana sounded a little offended. “if it wasn’t blatantly obvious I spoke Japanese I think I’d take the Japanese class for the GPA boost… I think it’s smart.”

“No, you’re right, I guess.” She tried to cover it up with a laugh. “Just confused. I guess.”

Sana nodded slowly. “Right… Well, thank you for making breakfast, Momoring, I’m sorry I didn’t stick around to try any.”

“No, no worries. There’ll be leftovers.” She busied herself with doing the dishes. She felt too weird to face them after her comment. “Enjoy brunch!”

“I’ll bring back some pastries for everyone.”

“Thanks, Sa-tang.”

She gathered her things and left with another cheerful ‘see you later’. As the door slammed shut, Momo held her breath.

“What was that?” Mina had a teasing tone to her voice – for what, Momo couldn’t even begin to fathom.

“What was what?”

“Well that’s dishonest.” Mina said.

“I guess I’m just upset I made a nice breakfast and planned a nice morning and it didn’t go as I planned.” Momo said. Yeah, she guessed that’s why she was oddly upset. “I also don’t think Sana should be entangling herself with boys who cheat for academic success.”

“Momo, I watch you copy your homework from the internet almost every day.”

Momo huffed. “It’s different. I just think Sana should be careful who she dates. Everyone on this campus is in love with her – boys, girls, everyone. She has her pick. She shouldn’t date anyone with any negative qualities at all. And not to mention we haven’t even heard of this boy before.”

“Mhm…”

“She’s my best friend. I just think she deserves the best.”

“Uh huh.”

“Why are you saying it like that?” She dropped the sponge in the sink and turned to see Mina.

“No reason, Momoring. I’m sure she’ll be careful and she knows she has us should she need help.” Mina’s tone was soft, it only added to Momo’s annoyance. She tried to shake it off. “You said you had a nice morning planned. I’m still here, would you still want to have a nice breakfast with me to take your mind off things?”

Momo wasn’t sure what things Mina thought she needed to take her mind off, but a nice breakfast with one of her closest friends still sounded relaxing.

“Of course, Minari. Let me just get more coffee started.”

#uh ohhh #someones getting a little jeaaalouus #let the mutual pining begin #anon #ask #college au #samo #sana #momo #i miss samo

Yukari Yakumo:

The Sages of Gensokyo worked together to create a place to preserve the supernatural and the mythological, creating the Great Hakurei Barrier in the process. After this, however, they all went their separate ways, only to slowly, one by one, show themselves once more.

The only Sage to continue to take an active role in Gensokyo's development is Yukari Yakumo, the Mastermind behind the Spiriting Away. She first appeared as the one and only Phantasm boss of Touhou 7: Perfect Cherry Blossom (a level above the usual Extra boss), and has since been a major player in the stories of Touhou Project.

She's a one of a kind youkai, that can only be described as "the gap youkai". She has the ability to manipulate boundaries. What does that mean? Just about any boundary. The border between here and there, then and now, light and darkness, humans and youkai, or life and death. Usually, though, she uses it to open up portals to travel quickly from place to place, or to send objects through. As you might guess, this allows her to bypass the barrier and freely travel between Gensokyo and the outside world, so she's much more up to date on events and whatnot than the average person.

This ability has made her one of the most powerful people in Gensokyo. In addition, she's much more physically strong than her figure might make it seem. She can casually block a sledgehammer, for example. However, there are still many beings much more powerful in this universe than her.

However, where she falls short in brawn, she more than makes up for in brain. In fact, her intellect is her most powerful trait. She's a skilled manipulator, able to hide her plans from even the cleverest of people. When she knows something, she plays dumb and acts like she doesn't. When she doesn't know something, she acts like she does and makes her legitimate questions look rhetorical. Also she solves math problems and quantum physics for fun. If anything is proof she's not human, it's that.

Perhaps her scheming makes her look more powerful than she really is; she only really engages in something personally when she's 100% sure she's going to win. In addition, she's several thousands of years old, and is beginning to feel it. She has trouble clearly reminding anything from over a century ago and sometimes wonders if she's going senile. (Perhaps her younger appearance is an assumed one)

She has a few minions in the form of animal youkai she has turned into shikigami, basically overriding their minds and replacing them with ones she programmed herself. They consented to this, oddly enough, because it also comes with a massive boost in power. Though, sometimes she beats them if they operate in an unintended way.

She has quite a few minions in the form of shikigami. In addition to Ran Yakumo and Chen, she has two crow shikigami named Zeki and Goki (they are not girls, they are actual crows)

She's also the person responsible for teleporting humans in from the outside World for the youkai of Gensokyo to eat. She herself has eaten countless humans over the years, including children. Of course, never onscreen, just implied.

Personality-wise, she's very carefree and polite, but incredibly harsh if she hates someone or something. She's got a small list of people she despises in Gensokyo and outside, but she lets them go about their business because "Gensokyo accepts everything, and that is a terrible, terrible thing". She rarely acts openly angry, though, and tends to voice her displeasure with thinly-veiled death threats. She comes and goes as she pleases, regardless of if you want her to show up, so most everyone she interacts with grows to hate her. Still, she has a few close friends. She's incredibly good friends with Yuyuko, since before Yuyuko died, even. She's implied to have been the one to use Yuyuko's body to seal away the Saigyouji Ayakashi, but she never told Yuyuko. At the very least, Yukari loves Gensokyo more than anyone else.

She can best be described as the closest thing Reimu has to a boss, but perhaps their relationship is more complicated than that. She trained Reimu in the Hakurei arts, and could probably be considered one of the closest things Reimu has to a mother. Reimu doesn't think of it that way, though, and considers her a pain in the ass to deal with, as Yukari usually keeps her out of the loop on important matters and steals her food for kicks. Still, Yukari constantly sneaks in money to the Hakurei Shrine donation box, and it's likely Reimu would have been dead years ago if it weren't for Yukari's occasional intervention.

Her purple dress is her "casual" attire, while her white dress with the purple tabard is her "business" attire.

In battle, she uses her gaps to throw all kinds of junk at you, like road signs and tombstones. She also uses vast amounts of purple kunai. Her spellcards often are named "Border Between x and y", such as "Border Between Straight and Curve", "Border Between Wave and Particle", and "Boundary of Light and Darkness". She can also summon her shikigami Ran Yakumo, who summons her shikigami Chen, who proceed to spin around everywhere like buzzsaws.

Her two "ultimate attacks" are opening a giant gap and sending a subway train through it to run you over, and "Border of Life and Death", a massive onslaught that uses almost every bullet graphic the series had up to that point.

There was a Greco-Irish man named Patrick Lafcadio Hearn (1850-1904). He traveled the world and documented the cultures of the places he visited. But the place he spent the most time in was Japan. He wrote many important books documenting and preserving Japanese mythology and culture, such as Kwaidan: Stories and Studies of Strange Things. Eventually, he even immigrated to Japan, upon which he changed his name to Koizumi Yakumo, and converted to Buddhism. Notice the last name? That's no coincidence.

Midnight Museum ep 2 was SO scary and So sexy for it uvu

I'm totally serious, yeah the special effects aren't the best in the world but moments of it reminded me of Manner of Death, of Strangers from Hell, I LOVED the fucked up monster body horror designs they reminded me of Junji Ito stuff, the ACTION fighting (it was so cool and fun to see fluff romcom BL actor Winny as a thief who ends up monstrous and the horror chasing and terrifying WOOH. So cool to see the twins in a HORROR and looking so satisfyingly terrifying after so often seeing their face in fluffy comedies. Seeing Mike who I'm also used to in comedy wirh his tits out, looking more likely to kill someone than the killers in 3 Will Be Free or the Player, turn into a spider monster. Dome TAKING HIM TO THE VOID with his shadow monsters. DOMES EYES TURNING BLACK AND HIM CONTROLING THE FORCES OF WHO KNOWS WHAT

So sexy. I can't overstate that. I am a way bigger fan of action and horror than fluff romcom and for me? This kind of plot is just a lot more rewarding to me to watch I'm screaming and laughing it's great >o<)/

If there's an immortal secret bl situation I'm gonna break over this show is already such a COOL concept such a fun execution, if you add this mysterious immortal guy who comes alive every midnight? And his DEMON CONTROLING lost love??? Ohhhh sexy sexy I'm beyond hype

And I'm really curious what the plot setup for those 2 is because I'm comparing to Hotel Del Luna, Guardian, Goblin, and Fairyland Lovers...so far this show doesn't match any totally. Khatha is able to be injured so probably not super-powered (but maybe? I'm not sure if he's stronger than the average human but he's certainly as vulnerable when injured). He IS regenerating whenrever midnight hits in the hotel so maybe more of a Hotel Del Luna cursed spirit lingering on thing? He has a magic cane with an orb on it that looks so much like Shen Wei's amber necklace it intrigues me greatly. It seems to be the source of magic (and rhe museum regenerating him is the other), so maybe his loved one he lost gave him the orb in the cane?

Dome meanwhile. Oh man. I get the vibe he's like Wu Xie - a nice helpful mortal guy who takes responsibility and Wants to help others and ends up somehow pulling shit together, inexplicably tied with an immortal Khatha (like wu xie is to Zhang Qiling). But khatha already recognizes him from something... and Dome has powers, implying there's more to him than "simple human who can see ghosts." So I can't rule out he's immortal too or magic or SOMETHING so it's not a full parallel to wu xie/Zhang qiling. Book Guardian kunlun/shen wei might be closest to their current dynamic?? But Khatha refreshingly, despite some similarities to rhe Hotel Del Luna and Goblin immortal leads... feels unique. He's got some elements to him I don't usually see or at least not in this specific combo. If anything, he reminds me of a more kpop esque style modern version of Bulgasal's lead guy... which is absolutely wild because visually you wouldn't peg Khatha for THAT kind of protagonist immortal, but that's the vibe he gives me. Stoic, angry and with some private goals, but once he's decided to protect someone he can honestly say it even if it's awkward ("I came to save you" "It's not your fault" "I'm sorry" they all feel more like Bulgasals lead then the tsundere Ness of Hotel Del Lunas girl, or the Absolute Commiting to sucky lies that Shen Wei commits to for a while).

It's all really unique world building so far surprisingly? Like it reminds me of a few things I love, but I can't say it's ripping tjem off either because it doesn't feel like it's following their lore or worldbuilding enough to be "the same kind of story." Yes ep 1 could be in any supernatural case show almost, like Hotel Del Luna or Guardian easily. But ep 2? It distinguished itself as something that can be terrifying, and have a whiplash kind of blend of Girl From Nowhere IM ON EDGE with Guardian level almost whimsical comic book level fantasy in the real world. I think maybe partly that's why I oddly get a Bulgasal feel.. nulgasal didn't have Guardians almost campy bits, but it had a level of Gory Horror and Realism in the world building that stuff like Goblin, Hotel Del Luna, Fairyland Lovers stayed a bit too polished and light hearted to do much of. Guardian did ir a little but they had real cheap cgi and blood and sets which limited how Gory Terror it could actually manage and toned it down a lot (say in comparison to the novel).

Such a cool concept so far... basically my point.

Also. The main assistant and Bam? Very cute. I ship them. I love Foei in cute kind Roles I eat it up and I love Bams actress so I'm quite smitten. I also love when the investigator in these kinds of shows is a woman (cop in The Guest, cop in Flower of Evil, Zhu Hong in guardian, Lang Qiao in Justice in the Dark, cop in Strangers from Hell) like if there's gonna be an investigator aiding the magical bitches on the down low? I like the choice of Bam.

Casting is FUN. Again it was so Cool to see Winny from My School President in such a different role, I appreciate actors getting a wide range to do genre wise and casting wise. And I saw that next episode Bright and the guy who played Neo in 3WBF are in it?!!! Every ep is gonna be cameos of actors I love apparently! And it looks like the trend of case eps will continue, which is great for Me!

#lb #midnight museum #im eating it up WHOEVER came up with the concept of Gun leading this type story?#bless them give them a raise give them a long vacation let them know theyre Inspired Talented Dreamworthy

Yanks go out w/ a whimper

Watching the performance of the N.Y. Yankees against the Houston Astros was frustrating! Nothing against the Astros- they're an excellent team that knows how 2 finish off an opponent 'On The Brink'. The Yankees just seemed 2 do more damage 2 themselves, than The Astros. Unnecessary Errors gave extra Outs & stretched out Pitchers, which led 2 Astro Runs Scored. Poor Yankee At Bats led 2 Strikeouts & Men Left On Base.

Sportscasters from YES & TBS speculated on factors like fatique, & injuries, but those Players supposedly want 2 play in October- what excuse can U make 4 mailing it in? The Yankees barely made it past the Young & Hungry Cleveland Guardians. Terry Francona has captured lightning in a bottle. I told friends that The Yanks will have 2 step up their game against an Astros Team that has Owned them in recent Years. I didn't see the anger that I saw in Yankee Teams of The Past.

My N.Y. Yankee Experience goes back 2 1976, when they won the A.L. Pennant. That Team was swept by Pete Rose & 'The Big Red Machine', but @ least that Yankee Team put up a fight... I dare say that the 2022 ALC was The Worst Yankee Performance that I ever seen in a Playoff Series; that includes their 2004 Embarrassment. What frustrated me the most, were the Players' attitudes. Where was the Anger? They seemed disappointed, maybe saddened, but not Angry. Anthony Rizzo & Garrett Cole came closest 2 anger. Cole deadpanned that The Astros outplayed The Yanks @ every position, while Rizzo sounded like he's planning 2 test Free Agent Waters, like Aaron Judge.

Aaron Boone's strategy is being called into question. He made a few head scratching moves over The Season, but he's not on the Field, or in the Batter's Box. The Players have 2 own their share of The Blame. The Yankees Post Season Batting Average was below .200. U won't win any Championships like that. Michael Kay sounded like he was fitting Aaron Boone 4 a noose, but injuries caused more harm than expected. Matt Carpenter, DJ. LeMahieu, & Andrew Benintendi were On Fire b4 going on the IL. Aroldis Chapman self destructed. He looked like a spoiled brat, when he was called in 2 pitch ANY inning other than the 9th. I don't expect him back in 2023.

Sportscasters R talking about 'Big Changes' coming in Yankees Universe. They R quick 2 mention Aaron Boone & Brian Cashman, but once again, The Players didn't play up 2 the back of their Baseball Card. Josh Donaldson & Aaron Hicks both had a dismal Season. Isaiah Kiner- Falefa & Glyber Torres were inconsistent. Giancarlo Stanton never got into his rhythm. This is why the Astros made short work of a Yankee Team that competed in previous meetings.

I just wanted Yanks 2 show more Grit; there's no shame in losing, if U gave Ur Best Effort. Not sure if the Yankees can honestly say that. Now, We wait 4 Post Season Theatrics. The Aaron Judge Sweepstakes alone promise 2 B drama filled. Hopefully, Brian Cashman will treat Aaron Judge better than he treated Derek Jeter.

-Just My 2 Cents

Week 2: The Work of Representation/Interpreting Media

How a sign can be interpreted differently in media

Signs are not a part of a fixed system; they are not defined universally. Everyone can interpret a sign or a gesture differently. Usually, this difference is constructed as cultures, language and norms vary. A pattern we will see is how social and cultural backgrounds shape the interpretation of an event and why the role of the viewer is so critical. A recent example of this is the double standard surrounding Iowa's Caitlin Clark and LSU's Angel Reese. During this year’s March Madness, these two players went viral for using the gesture “You can’t see me.” Caitlin Clark initially made this gesture after she made her sixth three-pointer of the night against Louisville (Henderson). Overall, the gesture was well-received, and she even got a congratulations from John Cena (the originator of the gesture) after the game.

The narrative began to shift as Angel Reese recreated this gesture during the women’s NCAA tournament. Although the gesture was the same, the media interpreted it much differently. Angel Reese got criticized for “taunting” Caitlin Clark and being “classless.” Many viewers felt that Reese displayed “ugly sportsmanship” and this was a reflection of LSU’s head coach, Kim Mulkey (Salvador). The narrative quickly received Clark as a hero and Reese as a villain. However, some viewers noticed the double standard being formed and encouraged people to see the bias behind it. What were people’s reaction saying about their individual backgrounds? Meg Linehan says, “If you celebrated Clark for doing this but not Angel Reese you got to take a long, long look in the mirror.” Linehan is referring to the racial bias that is being revealed through people’s reaction and the common stereotype of black women as “aggressive” or “angry.” Angel Reese shares “I don’t fit in the box that you all want me to be in. I’m too hood, I’m too ghetto. You told me that all year. But when other people do it, y’all don’t say nothing.” Reese herself criticizes the narrative that has been surrounding her. Overall, signs can be interpreted in many ways. In this case, the gesture was interpreted as “competitive” or “classless.” Many have pinpointed this difference as a reflection of racial bias and individual background.

PART 2:

How the NCAA's Women's basketball tournaments created a discourse that reconditioned our regimes of truth

Growing up, I watched a lot of basketball. More specifically, I watched a lot of march madness. In my house, it was the busiest month of the year. My dad worked for the NBA draft and year after year I sat on the couch with him watching these pivotal games. I never once watched a women’s basketball game.

Men’s basketball was dominant and in the world of basketball, women were often discredited. Forbes reports that in 2020, the average NBA player made five million dollars, whereas the average WNBA player made 120k. This pays difference reflects the lower ticket sales, lower attendance, and lower viewership in the WBNA. It was the reality and “regime of truth” that the NBA was more successful and entertaining.

This was until this year’s March Madness and the discourse surrounding it. For the first time, the Women’s title game received more viewers than the men’s (Porter). The women’s tournaments more than doubled its viewership. Many credit this to Caitlin Clark and her rise to super star status. The media coverage on her has been outstanding and she has taken over popularity on all platforms. Even if people started watching because of their interest in her, they learn more about the game and the other dominant players that are leading women’s basketball right now. Caitlin Clark has announced that she is declaring for the WNBA draft. This is monumental and means so many great things to come for the sport. She has left a lasting legacy and a promising future for the NCAA tournaments, but is going to bring her determination and skill into the WNBA which will hopefully cut some of these disparities. Men’s basketball may have sustained their dominance, but the future is promising, and change is on the way. For most, that change is Caitlin Clark.

ILL FL NFL Breakdown🏈🏉🏈🏉🏈🏉🏈🏉🏈

Miami Dolphins

The Dolphins are slated to be a presence in the AFC East. Besides being one of the few teams who could possibly sustain two #1 receivers (fantasy wise). Tua's health will of course always be a concern given the recent history of concussions but at his ADP (average draft position) he is a great value In the rounds he was taken, unless reaches for. Tua could be a fringe QB1. With thier yound gen z head coach implementing a similar style that brought him success in San Frann the RBs committee would be more likely. Moestart is great when healthy. Jeff Wilson is familiar with the system. Achain the rookie is one to keep an eye on. Dolphins also added on defense with Ramsey across from Howard - arguably the best duo of secondary in the league. Geseki is out so all the volume should funnel to Waddle & Tyreek. This was especially evident in week 1.

Atlanta Falcons

Desmond Ridder, is he the future or is he a bust? The season might be the indicator. The NFC South is open thanks to the G.O.A.T. Tom Brady retring for the NFL. The exciting new draft prospect RB Bijan Robinson showed a why he was the 1st RB off the board. What was surprising was the usage Tyler got particularly in the receiving end. It could be an easy in of Bijan OR perhaps a split carry backfield. Drake London was a receiver in the 3 to 6 rounds filling in as a key cog player on many teams. What was more concerning than the output was the lack of targets from the get go. ATL may be a run 1st offense leaving Pitts and Drake in the lower rank of options for the play calling which doesn't bode well for those who drafted them. Teams who invested in Pitts as a mid tier TE are especially angry. The Falcons defense are not that stout but the team could have enough juice to compete for that division with weak offenses with the other NFC South teams.

Los Angeles Rams

The Rams were largely written off. Kupp injury woes had fantasy players skittish about drafting him despite being a target hog from Stafford who usually serves as a via low end QB back up on many teams bench. With news of Kupp out, some in the fantasy world thought Van Jefferson would step up but it was preseason darling Puka who shined in their season debut. Will the rookie be viable once Kupp returns? Will Kupp return? If you have to see a specialist for your hamstring it can't be good. He is this offense. TuTu Atwell has been a gadget player at best, not reliable week to week. Cam Akers was being passed up in drafts due to obvious reasons. Regardless of Akers clear volume opportunity, it was 2nd yr K. Williams that made the most of his snap share. Perhaps with Rams Defense they can be a bye plug n play. Questions about Aaron Donald's will to actually play (contemplated retirement after the superbowl) and loss of Ramsey, we'll have to see where they land in rank. TE Higbee might be the Sleeper late round flier or waiver add that has the most upside.

Cleveland Browns

No one should be surprised about the dominant Browns defense. Sure the off timing of Burrow and company pooped 💩 the bed, but Myless Garrett and friends have played this divisional matchup close in the past 5 years. They knew how to shut the Bengals out & get to Burrow. Chubb I fell has been disrespected as others were ranked higher than him in the draft. He has always produced consistently with only few injuries. Hunt is now gone from the team so the passing volume only boosts his value as a top tier RB. Ford is the back up but observing his week 1 work, on the offset, doesn't seem to be factored in the running game plans. Watson again hasn't played a long stretch of football in about 3 years so adjusting will take longer. The hope he can return to form from his Houston days are the crutch. He has skills that separate him physically from other QBs. He'll need to capitalize on those to justify where he was drafted on teams as a starter. His resurgence leads in the the Amari Coopers and People's Jones of the world. Njoku chemistry with Watson is what to watch.

Dallas Cowboys

Everything is bigger in Texas. The big D put a hurting on the G-men. The past few years with Dan Quinn as coordinator has shown Dallas steadily becoming one of the best (if not the best) defense in the league. Parsons, Diggs, this team is not slacking in defensive Stallworths. Questions abound about Daks place in the organization. The team is loaded and expectations are even higher. This may be common for 🤠 cowboy fans but this year is especially interesting. Take into account the 40-0 prime time win. The box score didn't match the fantasy output. Prescott didn't max out his line and newly acquired Cooks got injured. Pollard showed why the fantasy world were vouching for him to start. Jerry Jones and Zeek parted ways leaving that opportunity for Pollard to become the #1 RB. Gallup is not really a factor. They have a promising crop of new TEs with Dalton off to the other side of Texas. Kellen Moore the coordinator left for the Chargers. Mike McCarthy is now calling plays in addition to his head coaching duties. He too is on the hot seat. Let's see if he can replicate his Green Bay calling Days for this offense.

Detroit Lions

Lions hype train is real. The Lions have built upon thier first winning record season in a long time upsetting a division rival (costing them the playoffs after thier slim hopes were dashed right before the start of the game) running off Rodgers to the Jets. Lions beat the defending Super Bowl Champions Chiefs arguably an upset but smart betting hedge. The Lions are feisty. They have adopted the head coaches moxy and it shows. Goff is slightly more than serviceable. His stat line off the charts. AmonRa is a top tier WR. Gibbs the rookie has high hopes. Even with Montgomery from the Bears coming over and padding his stats, Gibbs is the future. It may be a 60/40 split but as the season progresses we may see a shift. Swift is out and this new RB duo is the immediate payoff. Marvin Jones is back with his OG team but was not a factor. Be on the lookout though. Since week 9 of last year the Lions have played zone defense. After being one of the historic worst - they have gradually become a better pass defense. With Hockenson traded mid season last year, the TE shares are up in the air.

New York Jets

Biggest hype of the off season came to a crashing halt. 4 plays in the first drive of NY great hope Rodgers...out for the season with an Achilles injury. Devastating 💔

Hard knocks, Aaron Rodgers media narrative, the recent lackluster history of the Jets franchise, big QB move, front office drama, arguably one of the best recent drafting years by the GM of the Jets with thier defense (Quinen) and offense (Garrett Wilson), all the stars aligned but a comet came crashing through. Now Wilson's stock plummets. The defense should still be one of the( if not THE) top Defenses in the league. Any of the carry overs from Green to Green (Cobb & Lazard) will not be a factor. The team is being pressured to bring in a vet preferred over the irractic Zach Wilson. But who is out there? Breece Hall may be worked back in slow but he showed out. Those who invested in Cook may have felt let down in week 1 but hold steady. They paid him big money...he will be used.

New England Patriots

Patriots were slated to be an afterthought. They brought it against the eagles. Now they look competent? Well, pencil pavorati (Matt Patricia) is no longer calling the offense. WHY!! Why would Bill have a defensive coordinator call offense plays? A genius but also a wildly abstract choice (wasn't Bills first). Lets face it. A belichick led team is the worst to figure out. He cares about winning and adjusts on the fly. Or doesn't. Makes him a hall of fame coach but a point of contention in the fantasy community. Juju added....nothing. His days are long behind. Mac Jones showed improvement but how much can you bank on with this teams fluid scheme? Bourne might be the best WR they have even if Parker returns. Ramandre still should get the focal point but with Zeek there now, that takes volume. Goal line? Pass targets? We have to wait and see how things shake out. Defense is still viable. Henry is still the TE or is Mike Geiseki gonna factor? Are either getting looks or game planned in?

Baltimore Ravens

The Ravens beat the Texans but boy did it look bad. Dobbins (as bad as I feel for the person) is useless. Injury prone isn't even the word to describe. OBJ addition and Duvernay or Bateman healthy, we should see something in the air yards for Lamar. A new coordinator and Andrews injury status should have shown some promise. Truly is was more of the same. Lamar steals run yards from the RBs. Hill stepped up but Melvin Gordon on the practice squad. Fournette and Hunt haven't signed yet. The Ravens, historically, have a revolving door of RBs who outplay the RBs who made the team or were already signed before the summer OTAs. Hopefully Lamar can repeat that one year he became MVP. Time will tell.

Pittsburgh Steelers

The Steelers defense football wise will donwhat they always do under Tomlin...get better and be more of a nuance. TJ Watt as an IDP is ideal. The preseason was kind to the Pickett Pickens duo but none of that materialized in week 1. In fact it was the opposite. Pickens almost regressed it seemed. Very concerned 😟 Dionte Johnson hurt doesn't help matters. Najee will have the majority of the snap counts so let's see if he can raise himself out of the mid tier RB 3 flex type tanking. Pat F is a TE that is a fringe TE2 that could produce.

Thank you for indulging me in my NFL team by team soap box. Let's check out the Sleeper League below and good luck to all in the ILL this year ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

All The Young Dudes-Review Part 2

I finished the fic the last. I will be honest ,I read it for two main reasons:

I really wanted to know why people like this fic so much and the impact it has had on the fandom

I wanted to understand why I dislike it so much

The second one was my motivation to read (listen to) the first 100 chapters or so,after that, the first reason was why I finished it,otherwise I would not have done it.

I obsessed with knowing why I was dissatisfied with the fic,in addition with the reasons I already explained in the first review. There was something that I couldn't put my finger on that annoyed me,until it finally clicked,this fic tells and do not show.

I have several examples of this but the most simple one is the map. At first Remus creates this normal map to not get lost,right? After that the other three found out and got the idea of The Marauders Map,at that moment I was excited to see how they create it. Well,we did not get that. The next time they talk about the map,it is already done,all of it! How? When? Who the fuck knows! You just have to accept it. It was reaaaaly infuriating!

Another example is the Marauders themselves,and here I also want to talk about the obvious bias against some characters that the author clearly has.

The Marauders were supposed to have this super close, wholesome friendship,but here Remus just repeats over and over again how much they mean to him but we almost never see him interacting with them happily because he is mopping,fighting,screaming or angry about something they say/do/have and that he doesn't ,it could be money/family/status/legacy. Is annoying to read to be honest.

James' whole personality (at least from Remus pov) is that he likes quidditch and Lily and after that is he likes Lily and quidditch and that's it,nothing more. How am I supposed to believe that he is important to Remus if James has been a two-dimensional character for the past 10 years?

The worst case is Peter. Gosh,his character situation is kinda hilarious. Since Remus first interaction with Pete,Remus only thinks of him as an idiot and annoying,and treats him the same way,if they interact of course,because Peter is there but Remus makes zero efforts to befriend him. Big narrative mistake. Worst is that after the graduation I can count on my fingers the times Peter is mentioned or interacted with,and I am pretty sure that I will not be using all of them,no joking.

The problem comes in the "betray", because upon hearing of the deaths of his friends, Remus literally says "oh brave, brave Peter",no gonna lie ,I literally laughed out loud,it was hilarious. Now it turns out that Remus loved him and thought of him as smart,brave and a nice,brilliant person . Like , you have to be fucking kidding me.

Also,the whole betrayal plot was really stupid,or at least makes every character look that way. The Order are like "oh there is an spy,and we narrowed it down to James or his friends. The options are:

James and Sirius who are most of the time together doing missions

Remus who is at his house all day or doing missions

Peter,who constantly disappears,makes excuses about it and does not interac with his friends that much anymore

Blimey,who could it be?"

Honestly you all deserved to die for being so dumb.

Another examples of bias against a character is Regulus. Like,most of his screen time (which is limited) he is an asshole,but what pissed me off was not that,it was his death. In the newspaper was the news of his death and it was mentioned that Regulus was really smart and a promising quidditch player (stuffs that are facts) and then Remus thought those were lies and Regulus was just average, but he supposed they have to make him see better than he was because of his family. I was like "wtf,why would you say that?" Remus is just an asshole for no reason.

The other example is Albus. He is cruel just because,and Remus despites him. If you read the books you know this is waaaaay too wrong. Like,if Albus is as evil as this fic says,why would he reach out to Remus family,helping them get Remus to Hogwarts,changing stuff at school and taking all means necessary for him to finish his studies?

But this answered some stuff that have been bugging me ever since I interacted with the fandom. Now I know where the romanticization of smoking or the idea that Albus is this evil old man come from.

Lastly,the relation with Sirius reminds me to a Wattpad fic. The fight and they fuck,they fight and they fuck, and after that they fight and they fuck. Everytime Remus thinks of what he likes about Sirius, he thinks about his face,how hot he is or something similar. It is never about his personality ,or hobbies,or ambitions,or something that is not his appearance. I do not even know if Remus know that information about Sirius. Everything is toxic af,and again,it makes no sense why Sirius thinks Remus is the spy if Remus is all the time in their house.

In conclusion,I think the fic became so popular because at the time there was not other long fics so people loved it,but being long doesn't mean that is a masterpiece. Is just ok ,to me. The characterization being the worst part of it,like a 1/10 and it had some plot wholes like Remus drinking butter bear for the first time twice,or funny stuff like when Albus told them Dorcas was death and everyone was like "oh ,no...anyway...", and stuff like that. I am also very disappointed of the lack of the Triwizard Tournament. I was waiting,and waiting,and waiting for it and when I realized they were graduating. At least now I know what you all are talking about when you mention the fic.

So the Character-Flavored Tea sold in Cyber City has a lot of interesting details to analyze:

It’s possible that a person perceiving their own tea as just water is just... how the tea is supposed to work. But you can also read it as an indication of self-loathing and\or a lack of a clear self-image. I think you can argue that pretty much all the characters involved suffer from this to some degree.

Lol Noelle is thirsty

Susie likes everyone’s flavor but herself’s! Awww! it’s clear that outside her Tough Bully Exterior, Susie might be the most Wholesome character in the cast. Deep down, she’s really just “HELL YEAH THESE ARE ALL MY FRIENDS AND I LOVE THEM A LOT”

Obviously Ralsei has a high score for Susie and Kris but not really for Noelle because he barely had a chance to interact with her. This is also probably why she perceives Ralsei Tea as an empty cup. She literally has no impression of him. Same goes the other way around.

The fact that they even have 50HP for each other might be a testiment for how sweet and accepting both of these characters are even with complete strangers.

(And Ralsei at the very least knows that Noelle is soft and sweet!! Awww)

Noelle and Kris’ scores for each other are above-average but not Great. Probably because they USED to be quite close as kids but then had a falling out. So their relationship is still a bit tense even though they care about each other.

This is clearly expressed in the flavors. Susie and Ralsei aren’t sure if Kris likes Noelle Tea or not (probably because Kris’ feelings about it are conflicted.) Noelle’s Kris Tea has a cinnamon flavor with a strange aftertaste - just like her feelings for them are mostly pleasent but with some lingering sadness\apprehension.

The most intersting thing of all is that although the Player is given many opportunities to make Kris express affection towards Ralsei... Kris only gets 60HP from Ralsei Tea. Just 10HP more then Noelle and Ralsei gets from That Person They Don’t Even Know. Perhaps the implication is that in spite of any choices made by the player, Kris doesn’t like Ralsei all that much. Maybe they feel apprehensive about his overly-friendly attitude. Maybe, like a lot of fans do, they kinda suspect that he’s not on the up-and-up

Notably, Kris does get a 120HP does of FRIENDSHIP from Susie Tea. Many fans have noticed that some of the few things Kris does without the player’s control involve showing a clear affection for Susie. Protecting her from the King, calling her “a friend”, being angry when other people bad-mouth her... they might have even slashed their mom’s tires just as an excuse to have a sleepover!

And when Susie asks Kris who’d they rather take to the Town Festival, “You” (Susie) is the one answer where Susie doesn’t mention them ‘sounding so confused’. (I mean that could also be that she was so flustered by the implication that she didn’t notice the tone, but ‘Kris likes Susie the most and wants to hang out with her’ is probably the most obvious interpretation)

It’s very sweet to think that although Kris met Susie under the Very Unfortunate Circumstance of Being Mind Controlled, they have grown to see her as their closest friend regardless of that fact. But it’s also kinda sad to think that Ralsei’s great affection toward Kris is kinda one-sided.

... But I do actually have an Alternative Theory as to why Ralsei Tea has such a low score for Kris, and that has to do with the Flavor (Text). We can only tell how Kris feels about the Tea from Susie and Ralsei’s comments. And interestingly enough, both Kris Tea and Ralsei Tea give them “No reaction?”

SO, one of the theories about What the Hell Ralsei Even Is, is that rather than being the Dark World Manifestation of an inanimate object - he’s the Dark World Manifestation of an abstract concept. Namely: Kris’ memories of Asriel. So he’s able to manifest in whatever Dark World Kris wonders to because he is literally manifesting from Kris’ brain.

And so, assuming the Teas taste like water when you drink your own flavor is Just How It Works - is it possible that drinking the Tea of someone who is Made of Your might be somewhat diluted???

Eh, it’s just a theory. Honestly I kinda like “Kris just doesn’t like Ralsei as much as Ralsei likes them back” because it’s very tragic and sad.

SPEAKING OF RALSEI AND SADNESS, can we talk about that “I’m happy!” when Kris drinks his Tea? Like is it just another indication of Ralsei’s extremely eager-to-please and desperate for approval personality. He’s happy that Kris even chose to drink his Tea and he’s just trying to ignore the implications of Kris seemingly having no reaction to it?

Is it about his own low\lacking self-image that he showed in the Acid Tunnel of Love. Is it like “Oh wow you had a Neutral Reaction and got healed 60HP? OH YAY! I was so worried that you were gonna spit it out in disgust and lose 20HP! I’m so relieved you can even be Neutral towards my flavor!”

Other things about the tastes: Ralsei’s tastes for Kris and Susie correspond with their Dark World colors. Kris is blue and has a blueberry flavor, Susie is purple and has a grape flavor. Is it just to show how Ralsei has only ever seen them as their Dark World selves (because Kris is very much not Blueberries in the Light World)? Or maybe it’s meant as an indication that maybe Ralsei’s impression of them is still a bit... shallow?

Susie tasting Noelle Tea as Eggnog and Ralsei Tea as Marshmallows both make tons of sense. Eggnog is warm, comforting and Christmasy - marshmallows are soft and very sweet. That’s a pretty good description of Noelle and Ralsei.

I’m just trying to figure out why Susie thinks Kris is apple-flavored? Is it because they’re green in the Light World? Is it a reference to how their the child of a teacher? Kris is... not super-sweet but... crispy?? I’ll have to think about it.

Mga ka-tropa {Childe,Tohma + Scaramouche}

Synopsis: What your everyday life looks like with your Barkada (Squad)

- Head canon, Fluff, School AU, Based off of my experience I guess lol (I don't have many friends I just watch my classmates--), Mentions of NSFW jokes

- Filipino Reader, Taglish swearing dialogues

____________________________________________________

- They're the worst, but also the best and ya'll just vibe

Childe

- The rich kid who insists on paying for the food you buy

- Every time in class, he'd tap on your shoulder from where he sat and act like he's paying attention to the teacher whenever you turn to glare at him. Gives subtle side glances and finds your pissed expression hilarious

- The type to place cold drinks against your cheek out of nowhere

"Yah!!? Gago, Ajax-- can you fucking stop!?" You hissed, earning a chuckle from the lad

"It's not that cold, ha-ha"

- You ignored him for the rest of the class which caused him to buy you one of your favorite snacks as he pleads for you to stop giving him the cold shoulder. He's still gonna do it again, but he won't mind buying more food for you (Win-win I suppose)

- His grades are fairly average, but still insists you tutor him. He'll drag Thoma in one of your study sessions to make you accept his request.

- You have a soft spot for Tohma and he takes advantage of it

- He calls you "Ate" as a joke, but it eventually became a natural thing for the both of you

"Ate, when's the deadline for the assignment that Ma'am gave us again?"

- Whether you're older than him or not, he has taken a liking to the Honorific

- You once fell asleep in class and was the only person inside the room, when he arrived, he immediately snapped a few pics of your drooling face before blasting "Never gonna give you up" from the Bluetooth speaker he owns

"D-did you just.. Fucking 'Rick roll' me awake..?"

"Yeah. Pretty hilarious in my opinion,"

- He has Tiktok and forces you all to join his shenanigans

- If he can't annoy you, then he'll annoy Scaramouche. You don't know how, but he got him to be accidentally sent to the elementary department's floor, which made a teacher think he's a 4th grade student.

- He got a lotta bumps in the head from the angry gremlin later on

Tohma

- The goodie two shoes friend and also the teacher's errand boy (next to Aether/Lumine)

- I feel like he has a collection of different bandana's/Headband's with all kinds of designs. He once got you a bear themed headband for your birthday

- Often gets in trouble with Childe (and the rest of you gets into trouble as well) so you all get to clean the classroom

- Kind of the mom friend but not really. Maybe it's the fact that he often notices small things about you and the others. Like the fact that he knows about your obsession with sweet/salty foods, The fact that he knows about Childe's soft spot for whales and that Scaramouche always puts aesthetic shades of eye shadow. He has fun with you all and always points out your small habits that he finds adorable.

- All his pencils are chewed and chucked, and you once thought a dog did that. He often bites into them when he's bored or just in a random trance, you had to stop him before he could finish the whole thing.

"Tohma snap out of it! You're gonna scarf the whole thing at this point!!"

"h-huh..!?" The moment he noticed the bite marks all over the wooden object he only laughed it off. Later on he didn't notice he was chewing it again, which caused it to snap. You let him borrow yours and he made sure not to bite into them this time.

- Though.. you later on find a few nibbles on the top part of the pen, making you sigh

-You bought him a set of Chewable pencil toppers and he was ecstatic to say the least.

- Whenever you guys go to the gym for P.E he always gets hit in the head with the ball, he doesn't know why. The next day he brought a helmet to school and that made Childe go into a fit of laughter

- When he got hit by a ball sometime in P.E, he actually got badly injured, so you both went into the infirmary to treat his injured forehead.

"Punyeta. Why can't those 4th grader brats just stay on their side of the Gym? this shit always happens to you" You scowled as you tend to his wound

"Ha-ha.. even if they were on their side, I doubt the ball won't hit me" He sighs with a sheepish smile

- Has Tiktok as well, but the reason is to like most of Childe's Videos (very supportive friend lol)

- The escort of your class (And Ayaka was the class muse)

- He often get's into those Class Pageant contests (and the UN themed ones as well). He has a wardrobe filled with all the costumes he used lol

"Hold still Tohma! That get up looks great beside the vending machine," Childe cackles as he takes pictures of the blonde

"LMAO-- He's literally in a sparkling suit- HA HAHA" you mirrored his actions, taking out your phone. He plays along, posing with each snap of the camera's, while Scaramouche just deadpans at you three's antics.

Scaramouche

- The Sassy Honor student

- He's cold and snappy to everyone, including you. But don't worry, he warmed up eventually, though he still acts a teensy bit cold towards you.

- You guys were seat buddies while he and Childe were on the same club

- He trusts you to do his eyeshadow so you often both do each other's makeup (It's not allowed in campus so you both have glasses to slightly hide your eye makeup, matching glasses of course.

- He has a small taser keychain in his school ID and bag, and once threatened Ajax with it (He kept calling him short)

- Whenever your group goes out to eat you both get Drinks (Boba) together while Childe and Tohma goes ahead and buy Fish balls (lol)

- He once got a bad grade for the first time and he kept brushing it off whenever people ask about it, but you know that's not how he actually feels

"Hey Scara.. You sure you're ok? " You asked, when the both of you were alone in the classroom.

That's all it took for him to sigh and lean against your shoulder, mumbling a small "No"

It shocked you, but proceeded to place your hand on top of his crown to comfort him, after a few seconds of the both of you sitting in comfortable silence, he speaks up again

"Not a word about this. Or else I'll tase you."

"Sheesh, sunget naman" You giggled

- He sometimes uses you as an arm stand, it doesn't matter if you're taller or shorter, He'll stand on top of a chair just to lay his elbow on your head and he smirks down at you whenever you tell him to get it off, you couldn't convince him to, so you just accepted your fate.

- You were both often the sarcastic duo of your group and would always retort mean insults to the ginger (As a joke though, you three insult each other as friend of course.)

- Intellectual insults, brought to you by our favorite sassy boi

What the squad is like

- Ajax and Scaramouche are your classic Volleyball players and LMAO- they're basically Kageyama and Hinata in reverse

"The fuck kinda serve was that?" The red head teases

"Shut up you orange tree"

"Well, at least no one ever assumes I'm a 4th grader~"

"THE FUCK YOU SAY YOU IMBECILE!?" He snaps, hitting the ball with a strong slap when it reached over the net. And because he was out of focus, that ball ended up landing into Tohma who was cheering in the sidelines with you

"T-Tohma!!!" you shrieked as his soul starts to leave his body

- Whenever Scaramouche is very fired up in a game,you and Tohma would cheer and chant at him with these specific words;

"Scaramouche! Scaramouche! Will you do the Fandango!? ~"

- He tells you to stop cause it's embarrassing, but you don't and he honestly secretly enjoys it

- Your squad would sometimes ask Tohma to buy some snacks in the cafeteria (With Childe paying lol) and at this point he's carrying a reusable bag as if he were going to the market

"Eh? Tohma, why do you have that bag with you?" A student asks "Are you going to the market?.. But School's still going.."

"Oh, this? Ha-ha nah! I'm just going to the cafeteria"

- The Cafeteria staff kinda got used to the same orders he'd often list out so they just dump them in the bag and Tohma gives them the cash with a simple thank you as if it was a routine (Hm, maybe it already is)

- When all of you would hang out, out of school you'd go to the arcade and it takes Childe a whole minute or two in the Claw machine. You almost got banned because kept cursing so loudly (there were little kids around)

- You and Scaramouche would play shooting games and holy shit he's good-

-You asked him if he ever had experiences in actual guns and he responded with;

"Oh, no. I just envision the targets as that Idiot who can't get anything from the Claw machine" He points at Childe

"HEY!"

- Childe and Tohma would battle through DDR and it either ends with a tie or you and Scara having to drag them out cause it was getting late.

-Lots of prizes earned and Childe swore he was close to buying the entire claw machine (Damn rich boi--)

- At the end of the day, all you three would get your preferred drinks as you all gaze at the nearest beach sunset. (You had the classic soda and straw in a bag of course)

- Whenever you plan, get together's like these, you always looked forward to them

- But let's say hypothetically that your parents are strict or didn't let you join them this time, well bestie, it's either they wont go and reschedule or kidnap you lmao

- Childe asked you to come outside of your house and the moment you did, you were met by a car and a laughing Childe and Tohma who carried you bridal style towards the vehicle

"Pukeng ina-- Mom's gonna kill me!!" you laughed into the gingers arms, hitting him playfully

"Quick Tohma!" He calls out to the boy, getting inside the car as he still holds onto you "Drive bitch! drive!!"

- By the time you got home you almost got banned from ever hanging out with them (You got grounded though LMAO)

- Your Group chat's are filled with chaos.

-Memes, Arguments (Scara and Childe) and Assignment answers were the contents of your chats

Tortang talong: [Bitch]

Fandak-go: [Bitcher]

Mama's boi: [Guys can someone send me today's assignments?]

Tortang talong: [*Sends a rick roll*]

Fandak-go: [That's like the 100th time you've sent the same joke as before.]

Fandak-go: [You're so fucking Un-original]

Tortang talong: [Please.]

Tortang talong: [ Compare my sense of humor to yours and you'll see how superior I'am to you]

Mama's boi: Guys, please :"D

Fandak-go: [Superior to me?]

Fandak-go: [Like that'll ever happen.]

Tortang talong: [My level is higher than yours, considering your height-]

Fandak-go: [I'll fucking strangle you.]

Tortang-talong: [I'd like to see you try and reach my head.]

Cult master: [Bitchest]

Cult master: [Awe- I'm too late XC]

Mama's boi: [Y/n help- please-]

Cult master: [Oki hun, what do u need?]

Cult master: [Holy shit wait- we have assignments!?]

- You're a group of chaotic idiots

- But at least you're all in it together and that's what matters<3

Translations

Gago = Stupid/Idiot

Ate = Older sister/ Can be also used as an honorific for women who are a bit older than you

Punyeta = Asshole

"sunget naman" = "so sassy"

Pukeng ina (Putang ina) = Putang ina translates to "You're mom's a whore" but can also be an expression of "Mother whore" leading to something like this "Mother whore! you scared me!!" and 'Puke' means; Pussy, so this dialogue translates to "Pussy Mother" or "Fucking pussy"

Tortang talong = Fried Eggplant omelette

Fandak-go = Fandango and Pandak mixed together. Pandak means short
