You know, in that AU book where Jake goes to the future, the whole idea of "Cassie has a Yeerk in her head she works with" never seems to be a big deal. Like, Jake never seemed to wonder much if it's Cassie really talking or just the Yeerk speaking for her. Or even who's REALLY in control of their body.
Oh man, I feel this!!! There is so much wasted potential in #41, and the question of what exactly is going on with Cassie and Niss is a considerable part of it. Like, it does seem reasonable that Cassie would join the YPM as a voluntary host if anyone would (see: #19) but you're also right that her being a controller in that book automatically makes her a less trustworthy source on all aspects of the war.
The big one for me: Why does she not seem to be able to morph? When she gets injured, she splints her arm instead of morphing to heal it. When she's threatened by the orff, she seems totally helpless against them. The final scene involves her being apparently unable to stop herself from falling off a building, and has the implication that she'll be killed by the fall. None of that is at all in line with Cassie's canon behavior; she's not only an experienced morpher but the best morpher on the team. Does Niss have something to do with that? Or is that just Jake's anti-yeerk paranoia coming through in the narration, and is Niss trying to help?

the thing about misha is that his mind is literally unknowable. either he's telling the truth, or he's lying, or both somehow, and we will never know.

I'm still salty about how the game knew this would be a powerfully impactful cinematic moment for my 'Only Dimileth Maddening' run, decided to twirl its mustache, grin mischievously, twiddles its spindly fingers and say "No."
He even got the crest to proc
「Yes, I had to restart after missing the hit. This was one of the most difficult chapters and required a few resets. Most difficult of all was by far the Defense of Garreg Mach post-time skip chapter. Randolph and his infinite mob of pegasi can smd」

Got my gold title screen :3 Here are the characters that helped me do it!!
This being my first Maddening Run (aside from two previously aborted Black Eagles runs), below the cut are are my thoughts and advice on how to beat it:
The requirements for a gold title screen are Maddening Mode with a new file. No NG+!. However, Casual is fine.
Equip everyone with Training Weapons immediately. This can prevent you from getting doubled by all but the speediest characters.
Training Weapons also last longer. Knowing this, spam Combat Arts to survive the first few battles.
Equip everyone with a bow early on. Curved Shot is your key to surviving the mock battle.
Equip everyone with a battalion as soon as you can. Gambits will save you in Conand Tower when you inevitably get hit by crowds.
Move and attack as a group during battles. Have majority of units nearby to help out when things get hairy. Note that tight formations will make use of links and supports, however you must be wary of enemy gambits.
Have all magic-users learn Heal. It's a Faith D spell you can pick up in no time at all. It gives easy exp and ensures that your mages can help your units survive the next turn.
Have danger zones visible at all times. Don't forget to check individual enemy danger zones.
Use the danger zone to plan your next move. The danger zone will show you where it is safe to retreat if your units are in danger. If you have a tank that can survive the danger zone, it can also be used to set up ambushes
Spend every weekend battling. You will need every bit of experience you can get. No seminars, no rest, no skip, explore only on the first week.
On a NG file, you will only have one activity point per weekend for battling. Work on getting your Professor Level up. Lots of fishing and lots of tournaments. I was able to get to Level A+ and 3 battle points per weekend by late game this way.
Use Tournaments to win money and free Silver Weapons+
Since you will be mainly using Training Weapons, buy Smithing Stones to upgrade them to Training Weapon+ and repair when needed.
Because you are spending less money on brand new weapons, you will actually have some extra money leftover - buy gifts to raise motivation and to recruit.
Unless you are doing Crimson Flower, prepare well for Hunting by Daybreak. Even on casual, you MUST have the majority of your original house members trained up.
Plant flowers for stat raising items and gifts. Everyone loves flowers!
Focus on a small group of units to train. By the end of the game, aim to have 12 units + 2-3 adjutants ready to take on the final map.
Overall, maddening on a new save file was super challenging but also a lot of fun for me that I can't wait to try it again with NG+. For NG only, it may seem impossible at times, but with luck and perseverance, you can do it! Hope that helps! Good luck!
The characters I used and their roles:
Barbarossa Claude: relied on him early on for Encloser to manage crowds, became a crit king late game.
Trickster Byleth/"Mousy": all-rounder who sadly doesn't excel in a whole lot late game, but was used for some key Foul Plays to help units flee to safety or reach their targets.
Sniper Petra: mid-to-long range crit, with the potential for Lethality, crit on Personal Ability and double crit on Hunter's Volley, which can trivialize certain monster fights.
Bow Knight Leonie: long-range crit, who can tank in an emergency if needed. Can break armor as an opener for other damage dealers.
Bishop Linhardt: dedicated healer who was a last minute recruit before the timeskip
Wyvern Lord Hilda: started out unremarkable early game but ended up becoming a nigh untouchable blink tank.
Great Knight Sylvain: defense tank. needed a lot of extra care and hand-holding mid game but eventually grew strong enough to be able to tank Nemesis of all things and lure him off the boss tile
Dark Knight Lorenz: used as an adjutant early-to-mid game, later brought on to the main group post time-skip to help fill the roster. Decent for tanking magical hits and cleaning up enemy survivors
War Master Felix: fragile frontliner early game, reliable boss-deleter mid-to-late game. since archers and mages can easily disrupt your plans in maddening, I relied on him to get rid of them quickly.
Dancer Marianne: was early game dedicated healer before that role got passed over to Linhardt. Aside from refreshing turns, she can do plenty of damage on her own. Her special Dance is useful for adding some extra punch and precision to Constance's Bolting.
Gremory Constance: had the absolute WORST luck with stats during each level up. However, she made it up with her frequent Crest procs - which means even more Bolting to go around.
Gremory Lysithea: as per usual a reliable Death Knight and boss killer. Aside from melting down mounted and armored knights, she can be relied on for extra heals.

How did I not know about "I think Mike learned a lot about himself and a lot about how he sees his relationships with other people"??
I can get the alternate angles to learning about himself but how he sees his relationships with other people?
I'm sorry, sir, did the way you see your relationships with other people *ahem* CHANGE since season 3?
If he learned about himself that he was scared to tell El his feelings then his view of her didn't change, nor did his view of Will and he was disconnected from everyone else this season so...
Mike knowsTM confirmation??
#mike knows#mike wheeler#and it seems he either learned between season or over the course of/within this season#byler#byler proof#finn wolfhard#stranger things#mike wheeler is queer#maddening#don't mind the sound over it i didn't wanna find the original clip lol

Every time I see somebody (especially queer women) refer to Hannibal as queerbait I gain another grey hair.
Not only is the homoerotic subtext between Hannibal and Will actual text by the end of the series, but you also have Alanna and Margot right. There.
I'm not saying it's great rep or that they have particularly believable chemistry but there are canonically queer women onscreen. They kiss, they have sex, they get married. How exactly are you going to file the show under queer bait?
#hannibal#it's just so so obvious that these people dont consider relationships between queer women important enough to even acknowledge#and a large part of the time it's queer women themselves who overlook it!#maddening#grievances

Hello again, LGBT community! I found a way to stop my legit Nintendo Switch™ crashing when I’d enter the legit credits of my legit 60 fps copy of Fire Emblem: Engage™. In celebration, I wanted to memorialise the endgame elites of my first maddening run. Maybe some of your favourites are here, unless your favourite is Alfred in which case I’m sorry. He died so that I could build the muscle mage Diamant. It’s what he would’ve wanted.
I am officially a wyvern Alear truther. Get some speed and fly around in a death ball with the likes of Lucina and the rest of your pride parade.
After lengthy consideration, I decided that Sage > MK because of mystic and +mag. Amongst other things. Are you watching, father?
Chloé really popped off with her speed skills, x4’ing everything with 20-40% crit. More importantly, she looks great. Big win for lesbian rights.
Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to Lady ‘Speed is for Peasants’ Citrinne, baiting and nuking in the king’s couture.
Gallant knight and very good friend of Chloé, I bring you Merrin. Hit, Speed, and Canter - what more could you want? How about 85% crit?
Well, a used Kagetsu always ends up busted, doesn’t he? He should probably have Canter second but I got impatient. It didn’t matter!
I wanted so badly to use HRH the queen of comedy, but was underwhelmed. So, I put her in general and things quickly became both better and funnier.
Lastly, the auxiliary flying squad whose job it was to basically just babysit Alear and Kagetsu with some added combat power and teamwide utility. Standard Hortensia who girlbossed Miciah always. Fin.

As usual, she had her reasons, and also as usual, she didn't tell me what they were.

Honestly the fact that Saitama can get so moody/angry on the regular and not break the earth in half every time is beyond impressive impulse control given everything he can do when he's serious, heck, even doing mundane activities without destroying anything in the process is also insanely impressive, this man's mental strength is just smething else
#also he IS actively AWARE of how strong he is. it's actually funny#the way he measured the moon's gravity to see just how much strength he'd need to get back in a jump ???#to see how much he'd have to hold back becuz he knows he can break the moon if he tried ???#maddening#⋆ ★ 【サイタマ】 : ̗̀➛ study.

I was watching Failure Emblem's Golden Deer Run and knew ahead of time that Bernie won the community poll for dancer candidate.
That said, I spat my tea out when I saw her competition.

Every single light switch and power outlet in my parents' house is hidden behind furniture. Nothing is convenient, nothing is accessible, they have to reach around and blindly fumble or pull bookshelves and couches away from the walls only to push them right back instead of rearranging things for ease of use. I don't understand why they live like this. It is maddening.
