#in case it didn't click
Text
You know how you can be in a fandom for years and simply not think or notice things?
Hakuba Saguru. Saguru Hakuba. S.H. Sherlock Holmes.
How did I miss the joke for years-
#dcmk#detco#detective conan#hakuba saguru#look#in my defense#I just never really use the 2nd type of spelling#I legit just call him Hakuba ngl#and yes I am aware 90% of names are puns and jokes and references#and that he did literally go around cosplaying Sherlock while on cases#but#BUT#do consider#I am simply just not good at noticing things and THINKING#like it probably did occur to me before#but it just didn't click#okay?

thought I'd compile a list of some of the current dangling threads we have in link click. specifically, going to ignore the ones that others have gone into detail exploring and just bring up the ones that haven't gotten as much attention but will almost certainly be relevant.
the missing files on the seventh victim of the serial murders from season one. emma was noted as 'victim one' in the files and there were eight in total. if these killings were done by red eyes then all we know of the victim profiles is that they're not seen to be 'innocent' in the culprit's eyes (ofc, we can only speculate what that means, but I'm currently gunning on it being some form of bystander to crime just going by themes*/what we know of emma/the fact the police struggled to find a uniting motive) and there's no set age/gender being specifically targeted. the killer's methods are said to be 'meticulous' (big qian jin vibes there ngl even if the motive part of it doesn't seem to obviously align). anyway, missing files implies an inside job and timing-wise it's unclear if that means qian jin or if chen bin was somehow involved. chen bin apparently was the last to handle the files before passing them to xiao li, but at the same time he doesn't react in a particularly guilty manner when xiao li asks of the missing file. meanwhile, qian jin would have left the force before these killings started but I'm sure he still had plenty of connections left in the force. either way, the seventh victim has been hidden for a reason. knowing what was in that file should lead to a breakthrough of some sort.
liu min's younger brother mentioned in the first two episodes of season two. said to be the more favoured of the two siblings and hasn't yet officially entered the game, but just from law of conservation of detail I think he is going to be a player because why even bring him up when liu min is already dead.
li tianxi's mutism and subsequent abilities of speech as a teenager. the mutism and later explanation are both such deliberate details to include. I don't know for sure what the answer is, but I do think the idea of tianchen or someone else possessing tianxi is a possibility given we know that possession overrides certain physical traits. cxs even explicitly confirmed that this would include mutism when he spoke as tianxi in his dive. it could also be that tianchen is literally dressed as tianxi and is using the mask to help disguise this fact. or tianxi could be tianxi. but whatever the case, I do think the mutism is a relevant point to return to. (also, in s2e4 it looks like the sibling with the messy fringe (tianchen?) doesn't speak. unsure if this is to hide that there were multiples and we just didn't hear the speech but ig it does add to the option that tianchen and tianxi have swapped bodies entirely)
fountain boy. I know I said I'd avoid the stuff that's already been explored but this is such an obvious thing that *will* come back. my intuition says that the fact they picked such an adult sounding voice actor means the character hasn't yet been formally introduced and will appear later (and so opens up the possibilities of hat guy/liu min's brother etc) but that's purely on a meta level. within the story itself it could be almost any male character sans cheng xiaoshi.
Liu Min's phone, taken by Li Tianchen(? - going by the fringe but not confident of this) without Qian Jin's oversight. Does this mean Tianxi is working with Qian Jin whilst Tianchen is double-crossing? Either way, these three are not all in it together. They have some shared motives but ultimately their own agendas.
*themes here meaning qiao ling's big regret re: doudou was that she saw someone leave with him and said nothing. emma's only 'crime' was that she knew of the financial irregularities but didn't speak up. li tianchen saying about people pretending to be nice but secretly are jerks are the worst. my other idea is 'people the law won't punish' because qian jin's backstory (vigilante justice type deal also kinda fitting the themes) especially as the murderer who killed his wife later 'committed suicide' and it was mentioned that several of the meticulous killings were initially mistaken for suicides. anyway, I'll fully admit I'm running on vibes for this as speculation and am fully open to there being another theme tying together the victims.
#link click#link click spoilers#shiguang daili ren spoilers#obvious things I've missed off include: lu guang's age (ql thinks it's younger than cxs in ep 1 and they know his birthday day#but his actual age is hidden in out-of-universe sources and there are multiple refs to him 'being mature for his age');#who's hat guy (if he's not fountain boy and/or liu min's bro); lu guang's entire deal (tied in to age probably but);#li tianxi/tianchen's motives as well as how/why liu lan was stabbed; who was the initial client for the emma case.#probably missing some stuff but will leave it at that.#wow the capitalisation situation makes it so obvious I didn't type this one on my phone

People claiming Aemond 'stole' Vhagar from Rhaena....you know Dragons aren't inherited do you....
#They're not possessions and can't be passed onto another person??#Vhagar CHOSE to bond with Aemond#And Aemond has apparently tried COUNTLESS times to bond with other Dragons and it didn't click#So why the fuck should Vhagar be any different#Why should she go - as an animal - this is my former riders daughter and it would only be fair to have her as my new rider#That's like.

Lessons we learned in LMK Season 4:
Episode 1:
Be afraid.
Episode 2:
If your friends get sucked into a nightmare scroll, you should jump in it too.
Episode 3:
If there’s a ghost, don’t fight him. Words are much more effective at making him cry.
Episode 4:
Feeding customers is more important than escaping an angry mob.
Episode 5:
“What are you Thor, the God of Hammers?!”
Episode 6:
Cats are more reliable for bringing your friend back to their senses than motivational speeches.
Episode 7:
We’re pretty good at faking it til we making it so you better start TAKING IT SON!
Episode 8:
Shit’s complicated
Episode 9:
Fuck up that lion man!
Episode 10:
When all else fails, return to monke.
#lego monkie kid S4 spoilers#lego monkie kid season 4 spoilers#lmk s4 spoilers#lmk season 4 spoilers#actual lessons are as follows:#Episode 1: Bad things happen. You need to move on from them.#Episode 2: It’s important to trust others.#Episode 3: The world isn’t black and white.

Because of the other games, I sometimes check the dorm registry out of habit and checking it on the Promised Day gives you this dialogue
#prince's gaming tag#in case anyone doesn't know: this game used to have save points where you did your game saving and this was one of them#so ill sometimes click on it out of habit even though i dont have to do that anymore#bc it adapted 5's way of saving by just hitting the start button in most places#but yea i think whenever you get someone new to the team checking the registry will make the protag comment on it#but i didn't check it right at those times to know for sure#ill check again in ng+#but yea i got to this point last night but imma save the final fight for either tonight or next time i feel ready to play#bc if it was like FES its gonna be a while#i dont know if this dialogue was in FES bc it was a save point and its been so long i cant remember the smaller details#but it was a nice little resolve thing

Post 8 edit: This has nothing to do with EP8, but I still stand by it.
I was kinda frustrated at first with how little actual plot information we've been getting each episode, but then I realized that if we got any semblance of a plan from Lu Guang, that would mean that Xiao Li would also probably get that information, and then he'd fuck up everything with sheer incompetence.
I mean... it's pretty much his fault that both of his partners are dead, and if it weren't for Qiao Ling reigning him in, he'd have done a lot more damage already. But she's reigning everyone in this season. Post 8 edit: I stand by this QL statement even more now. Although, because of the shitty subtitles, I'm not 100% sure if Wang Juan is actually dead yet.
Love that for Qiao Ling. But back to Xiao Li:
I have very little sympathy for him.
As a boss, he never gave his subordinate a day off. Not even to have a proper wedding. Or to care for his pregnant wife and unborn child. And after working Chen Bin several days in a row without even letting the man go home to sleep, XL was too caught up in getting some civilians to do his job that he didn't even notice CB leave the room during a time that he said himself everyone was to be on high alert. And we all know what happened after that.
And then after seeing his dead partner fall from the sky, XL was knocked out by random extras he knew would probably be afoot, rendering him incapable of doing anything while those civilians and some old people safely (?) apprehended the suspects.
(Okay, that one isn't fair. He was definitely in shock. But still.)
And then once he was conscious and back to work, he demanded the civilians continue to do his job for him, even though one was literally hooked into a hospital bed, because he's not even competent enough to look into cases that his former colleague-turned-evil and current antagonist was involved with during his downward spiral.
And then, he doesn't even wonder why some random unidentifiable witness only wants to talk to this civilian that shouldn't isn't publicly on the case but is essentially running it. XL just gives said civilian, who minutes before exited the scene of a double homicide while experiencing not only his own emotions but those of the child watching her mother (and almost brother) be beaten to death, a crash course on police interrogation and says, "Go get 'em, Tiger!"
And then, after losing his first trusted partner to a person who has proved capable of possessing anyone to do anything including kill themself and kill their friends, he established a whole buddy system to avoid people getting possessed and hurt but said his currently assigned partner was fine to go alone because he trusted her and she's "strong." Isn't that even more reason to not want her to potentially get possessed? It literally just happened to a cop you trusted, so it's not like the law makes them immune.
And then when his new partner, this civilian he can't stop traumatizing, and the person that has admitted on mic to be the one possessing people went missing after acting suspicious on camera AND MICROPHONE, he didn't even bother to call and notify the guard posted at the exit, who was also not part of this buddy system apparently. Like... Where did you think they were escaping from, the air vents?! This isn't a spy novel. And you left the one guy who's in charge of people coming in and out of the premise alone and totally out of the loop?? When one of the people involved is a former cop that people around here seem to kinda trust a bit?!
AND THEN he couldn't even catch the kid he put a tracker on, but this time he didn't even have to ask the civilians to do his job for him. They just heard that CaPtaIn XiAo was on the case and immediately jumped into action--evading police and hijacking vehicles to triangulate their partner's location by land and sea to prevent his capture
(at least for now... things can go south pretty quick and I'm just being dramatic while I wait for this episode to drop) Post 8 edit: Obviously things were going to get worse first. Would love some understandable subtitles to really know how much worse, though.
Or.
He's actually the bad guy and all of this was on purpose. I think I'd be okay with that.
#link click#Wrote this last night waiting for EP8 but I got distracted trying to load literally any version with decent subtitles and didn't post it#Probably just have to get a VPN again so I can watch it on Bilibili#I kinda hate Xiao Li's character if you couldn't tell and will be pretty disappointed if he gets out of all this unscathed#He's so stupid that it's actually suspicious. I don't trust him at all. Even if he's a good guy I don't trust him to not fuck up#But if he's evil I'm all for it because he's been fucking things up since the Dou Dou case and masking it as incompetence#Also thanks to everyone who makes GIFS for sgdlr 🤍🖤🩷 I would never finish posting anything if I had to make all of them myself

it's always kind of a weird situation when you dislike something but it's not because it's bad, so it feels like it's difficult to explain why you don't like it.
i really dislike Ace Attorney 4, just. based on vibes alone. and i sound like a crazy person every time i try to explain it KRKFK
i simply don't like it. but i see why people like it, too. i respect how bold it was with the direction it wished to take the series. it didn't want to rest on its laurels and tried a new angle for the games. it just didn't work for me. i love DD and SOJ, they're my favorite games in the series, but they play way too safe after the mixed reaction to AA4 and it really undermined Apollo's character, and the other characters tbh.
i don't really care about most of the plot points set up in AA4 so it doesn't actually bother me, but i see on an objective level that it's fucking absurd that they dropped everything except for like, the dark age law stuff and if i was an AA fan experiencing DD and SOJ as they came out i'd be kinda pissed they just ignored everything AA4 set up.
it's just profoundly, deeply not for me. and i'm kinda relieved the rest of the trilogy didn't follow in its footsteps. i guess that's all i should have to say.
#psy's no punctuation posts#aa tag#it's literally just like...#i hate the way it looks (the vibes of the visuals are rancid to me. even though it looks the exact same as the original trilogy)#like i can't explain it but the set and character designs Bother Me so so deeply. completely inexplicably#the characters are okay i guess but i had a hard time getting into them. love Trucy n Kristoph tho#i don't particularly like the cases either... they have good moments. i like Wocky. i actually like 4-3 a decent amount. Vera was cool#i think 4-3 is not near as bad as peop;le act funny enough KRKF. i actually liked that case the most out of the 4#i don't really like Klavier. Apollo feels flat in this one. he and Klavier have no chemistry to even speak of#like you (i) get this profound feeling of 'they have no feelings about each other. not positive nor negative. that's how little they impact#each other's lives' and DD only made that feeling worse. it was like awkwardly running into a kid you went to school with#but wasn't even friends with so you just awkwardly say hi and then move on lol#like it feels so odd that i can't put my finger on why i hate the vibes of this game so much#i just. hated it i don't know!!!#i can see why AA4 is so divisive. i was chatting with my pal Lavender the other night about AA and she LOVED AA4 and i could see why#after she explained why it worked for her. just didn't click for me. i am not a fan

2020 me: Oh yeah, I’m totally comfortable in my identity; yeah like every cis person is fine with pronouns that don’t match their assigned gender like that’s totally normal. Yeah there’s certain pronouns that don’t feel like they fit but I’m cis you know, neo, she, they all the shebang but that’s just on being Cis you know?
2022 me: Should have figured it out really when the concept of being cisgender didn’t make sense because I didn’t understand that you were supposed to feel connected to your gender.
#personal#rant#little proto really sat there and went the fuck is a gender and it didn't click in their stupid little head#wouldn't mind either like#I'd been reading so much about gender and stuff and was just like#it's so cis of me to not mind she or they or neo pronouns and only feel disconnected to masc pronouns bc i don't feel like a man#like this stupid little girl really sat there and went yeah all girls feel alright being called they#ding dong dumbass that is not the case

Letters From Watson, Catching Up
The Musgrave Ritual part 3: fun bits!
- I didn’t point it out in the last part, but I love how Musgrave immediately catches on to the scavenger hunt and starts helping. Especially because he knows the ins and outs of the house.
- Obviously there is immediately a corpse. And a crime scene reconstruction. I do like that Holmes admits that he has no idea whether it was an accident or on purpose that Brunton was trapped in the treasure chamber: contrary to many pastiches and modern adaptations he does not always have, or need, every single fact of the case.
- Also, the treasure. The absolute lack of fabulousness of the treasure! I admit that the first time I read this story with not a lot of historical knowledge (my known English monarchs skipped from allegedly King Arthur to Queen Elizabeth to Queen Victoria) the shabby condition of the artifacts made me think they were much more than two hundred odd years old. As an adult who has been to two archaeology digs I appreciate the realism: important things are seldom shiny! Granted, my best two finds were a left-handed pot sherd and a shred of china.
- On the subject of archaeology: every aspect of this discovery is a disaster and it makes me itch. First you remove the artifacts from their context with zero documentation, then you chuck them into a lake. Zero of ten stars all around.
- Honestly, thousands of stolen artifacts filling the British museum and things that actually belong there thrown away in a pond. I have a grudge against Victorian era archaeologists that only starts with Heinrich Schliemann.
- It’s currently VERY hard to quickly google information about Queen Elizabeth 1 or King Charles 1 and get answers, so I’m not going to do a deep dive (tonight) on whether this “ancient crown of the kings of England” (which didn’t exactly make me think that Charles 1 wasn’t some time in the 10th century) directly contradicts any knowledge of actual Elizabethan and immediately post-Elizabethan crowns. Hey British royal family, could you make it easier on historians and pick a new name, ever?
#Letters from Watson#The Musgrave Ritual#look if you DON'T have a grudge against 1800's archaeologists you haven't studied enough archaeology#I have methodology questions for Indiana Jones but I will happily help him shake anybody who preceeded him#until the loot falls out like sonic the hedgehog's coins#and it can be put in a museum#in it's country of origin#where appropriate#because sometimes it belongs in its original community actually#especially if it's somebody's body#also of note google's top result for what happened to the crown of queen liz 1#is some#absolute bullshit#in the bit where you click on the question#not like the search results#in case you didn't already know that those weird pop up things are kind of broken

Looked up the author of the book I'm reading because the book could easily have started life as scrubbed fic (its dynamic and situation set up is nearly identical to Catradora's) and I wanted to see if the author had said anything about writing fanfic in interviews, but I instantly regretted it.
#i did click the plagiarism one but that didn't bring up anything more substantial than a shady tweet among otherwise unrelated results#i bought this book in a bookshop because it sounded interesting and queer#i don't need to know if the author gets huffy on twitter about bad reviews or whatever#that seems to be the most common type of ''drama''#either that or they have some anti-censorship stance#in which case good for them#i read the author bio on their website and it only made me more convinced those elements were at least heavily inspired by c/a#and also further reminded me why i don't look authors up#because they usually sound so annoying that it puts me off the book

I was very sad that I didn't like Stray Gods... love David Gaider and his work but the music failed to hit me and even the plot lost me at times (tho I was never a fan of visual novels I decided to give it a try).
Now watching Hazbin Hotel I'm thinking this is exactly what I wanted from stray gods music...! I'm in love with the different styles, the Broadway waves, the subtle spanish guitars and beats... it's just...♥️

It's interesting to stroll around Fanlore reading discussions that took place in 2007 talking about the fractured nature of fandom on LJ and people interacting without having enough context (as in commenting on a post they did not read by a user they do not know) when you're living in 2023 and people distribute likes without reading anything or commenting; when there's supposedly "drama" of unknown origins happening in more than one website at the same time because there's no real "home base" for fandom activity anymore; and we're all carrying on with our lives reblogging things without even looking at previous notes and reactions to that same post even if out of simple curiosity...
#what gets me is the lack of discussion. i don't expect anyone to approach things in a more ~intellectual manner no#but i guess i expect a little more than what i see. i'd *like* to see a little more. more than just personal unfounded opinion#idk i have the distinct feeling that we're all screaming into the void only louder and louder and louder#(you will never convince me that twitter is a good place for discussion because it just isn't. it wasn't made for that#it doesn't support it. its very quick structure is part of why so many people have long recognised it as toxic social media)#(it's talking over one another in fragments. if you agree on there all is peachy but if you don't then lol good luck)#anyway. again. i do know tumblr isn't exactly proper for any of this either; the dashboard isn't designed for it#but it's not like i can convince anyone to switch to a slower and more text/reflection-based platform either now can i#i think about migrating every day but then i'd REALLY be screaming into the void#silly blabbering#i'm allowing myself to post this on this blog because it isn't strictly WN related but also it is. i hate twitter fandom lol#(also if you're wondering yes i did read that one for the bakhtin. in this house we love and support bakhtinian studies)#(just in case my last little essay on wn didn't clue you in regarding that lol)#ALSO i love the fact that the post (the actual post. if you click the link and follow through to the original post. which you should)#links to another post that goes to another post (i love these link black holes) where the author voices things i feel too lol#about crafting extensive essays and the expectation regarding their response#i sometimes think that LJ fandom is what made me choose my degree#why am i seeing myself through someone else's words written in 2006 ksjdfhksdjjhksdgjsd#and yeah yeah we should respond to other people too -- but how when no one is writing the sort of thing you want to/can reply to?#i'm not interested in the colour of beatrice's knickers (not that anyone has talked of that... afaik... but you get what i mean)
