The wholesome-ish friendship between Shinya and Kyo

Their latest playful Q&A in Haiiro no Ginka vol. 100 has prompted me to compile examples of this weird but overall wholesome relationship that Kyo and Shinya have and which is not obvious at first.

Situation #1

In October 2017, Kyo gifted Shinya with a custom white version of a MadaraNingen one-piece. As far as I remember, that article of clothing was not available for purchase in white at all, to the public. And of course, we all know that Shinya prefers to wear white.

Situation #2

I think that in response to Shinya sharing a video of him briefly playing with the minicars that were sold as tour goods in This Way to Self-Destruction, Kyo posted a story on Instagram of him revving up a bunch of mini-cars and persistently making them hit his phone propped up on a counter and displaying a picture of Shinya. At age 43. To which Shinya made an Instagram post vaguely hinting that: "Good children should not play with the mini-cars to hit someone's picture!"

Kyo's Instagram Story "The proper way to use mini-cars" video

Shinya's translated response

Situation #3

In late 2022-early 2023, Shinya publicly celebrated his bandmates' birthdays via emojis on Twitter, and Kyo was the only one to respond, in kind.

Situation #4

Kyo posted a cryptic picture of Shinya's video meeting with Mana in an Instagram Story and he has mentioned on Twitter at least once that he was watching Shinya Channel (the making of the FaFa onigiri).

In the same vein, Shinya took his failed attempt at needle-felting a pink bunny in March 2022 and turned it into a miniature hammer-wielding bunny in October 2022, in response to sukekiyo unveiling their Mosaic Shoujo PV which featured Kyo in the killer bunny suit.

Situation #5

This very old video of Kyo teasing Shinya by pinching the side of his dress, Shinya reacting by pushing Kyo a bit and Kyo falling into a robot dance in response.

Situation #6

The coffee maker. In one of the live talks held during the COVID-19 pandemic at concert venues, Shinya mentioned having a coffee maker which was of no use to him, and Kyo expressed interest in taking it from him. Later, in the Galacaa livestream talk between the two, it was revealed that Shinya had promised to give Kyo his coffee maker, but he never pulled through on that offer. Kyo, sporting a doodled face to hide his own, insistently questioned Shinya on this unreliability when the topic was brought up by fans in the comments. Shinya kind of struggled but ended up explaning that the coffee maker was really useless because of a defect, that it would not have been an appropriate gift anymore. But he forgot to update Kyo about it after he tried to contact the manufacturer. Kyo replied like: "Oh, alright then."

At some point, Kyo took the matter to Twitter, confronting Shinya about it with their respective member photos to illustrate the dialogue, and Shinya replied the same way.

Situation #7

In that same livestream, Shinya is so used to Kyo's bullshit by now that he completely ignores Kyo's doodle face sheet and casually leans forward to look past him and at the interviewer, sat on Kyo's right. After a while of this, the interviewer points out to Shinya that Kyo is insistently staring at him with this disturbing face, which is when Shinya becomes startled and nervously laughs upon realizing that, also making Kyo chuckle.

Situation #8

More often than others, Shinya and Kyo are documented chatting on the chairs backstage while they wait for everyone to be ready to start the show. Maybe there's something to be said of how they are the two members of the band to leave the stage the quickest, while Kaoru, Toshiya and Die stay for a while to throw picks.

Situation #9

Miscellaneous pictures of the two:

Situation #10

Apparently it was Shinya's earbuds that Kyo used to play with the cat (also Shinya's?) in this famous old video.

youtube

Situation #11

Other interactions on Twitter include commentary regarding the song battles that fans were voting on via that same website, during live broadcasts from their manager Fujieda on Galacaa. Kyo and Shinya were the only two members reacting to the songs that were pulled out of the box, Kyo sometimes replying to Shinya's own tweets wondering what he meant or outright questioning his preference.

Another interaction consisted in Kyo copying Shinya's tweets regarding the release of their Phalaris album and twisting Shinya's cute comments into hellish versions.

Situation #12

Probably a bunch of elusive comments throughout the years, but here's an example of something that Shinya said about Kyo in a magazine interview.

Situation #13

In Haiiro no Ginka vol. 100, the members were asked to send each other member five questions. Some chose to personalize them based on what they actually wanted to ask of the others, while a couple decided to send the same questions to all, but members were not told who the questions came from. Kyo picked up on that anonymous part of the game and when answering Shinya's set of questions, he ended each of his short answers with a second sentence that can either just be the Kansai dialect for: "Aren't you Shinya!", or in other dialects, translates more to: "Shinya, you bastard!" hahah. From what I saw, nobody else hinted at who they thought the questions came from in their answers. In reverse, Kyo took up two of his five alloted questions for Shinya with the simple statement: "You don't know you're dead yet!", a quote from Fist of the North Star which is highly intimidating as it hints that someone has defeated the character so easily and lightning-fast that they are a dead man standing, their body having trouble catching up with the reality that they were slaughtered. Shinya, in response to that repeated tease, stubbornly replies in his polite and formal Japanese that: "No, I'm not dead." Their Q&A with the other members were not nearly that quirky.

... Did I miss any? And there will undoubtedly be more to come!

Thank you very much to shinyaburashka for your help!

Unpopular opinion: There is no Link Click “trio.” It’s just the ShiGuang Duo + Qiao Ling

Now, before the Qiao Ling fans come after me, I just want to make it clear that I do not hate Qiao Ling. She’s a queen, and I love her. What I do hate, however, is the writers’ neglect of her character.

Warning: This will contain major Link Click season 1 and 2 spoilers.

Cheng Xiaoshi, Lu Guang, and Qiao Ling have been marketed as the main trio right from the OPs and EDs all the way to the different official artworks and PVs. But despite this, Qiao Ling has never been portrayed like a protagonist in the story itself. Her value has always been tied to some other character, and what’s sadder is that even as a supporting character, she’s still being neglected by the writers.

Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang both have something in themselves that push the story forward. Cheng Xiaoshi’s recklessness in s1 is what gives tension to the dives and what leads to the overarching plot related to Emma. His planning in s2 also keeps the plot going. On the other hand, Lu Guang acts as the voice of reason, grounding the fantasy aspect of the show. His hypocrisy revealed in s2 also reshapes how we view the entire story.

But what about Qiao Ling?

Throughout most of season 1, she’s been kept in the dark about ShiGuang’s powers, which in turn excludes her from a big part of the story. In s1, it was only during the kidnapping arc that we see a bit more about her, but the focus wasn’t on her at all but on some random extra. And at the last episode when she finally gets to be in on the whole eye power thing, Li Tianchen possesses her, overshadowing Qiao Ling entirely and redirecting our attention and interest to him. (Extra: In season 1, between Qiao Ling and Emma, would you dare say Qiao Ling is the protagonist? I bet you won’t.)

Then in s2, despite Qiao Ling’s extra screen time and more involvement in the plot, the neglect of her character is even more palpable. She got possessed by a murderer, nearly killed her friend, and even tried to stab her own brother, but even after all these, we barely get to see how she had to process everything.

It’s really no surprise many people loved this scene:

This, for me, is the one time, the ONE time Qiao Ling is portrayed as a character on equal grounds with Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang. If Link Click were a sports anime, this would be the scene where she discards her role as the female manager over a bunch of male athletes and expresses her desire to become a player as well.

But unfortunately, after this episode, Qiao Ling is once again pushed to the sidelines. She’s a player now, yes, but a player who’s just being pushed along the game. She may take the initiative in some things (like talking to Li Tianxi), but even then, the things she do are all still just to help her friends. You know, like a supporting character. None of what she’s doing is for herself alone. (If any Blue Lock fans are reading this, Qiao Ling has no “ego,” so to speak.)

Qiao Ling has no goals of her own, and this is how the writers failed her.

All the other major characters have their own goals. Heck, even the antagonists are more like protagonists than Qiao Ling.

Cheng Xiaoshi wants to find his parents. And he also just wants to help the people he meets in dives

Lu Guang selfishly broke the rules of time travel just to keep one man alive and will do it again if he must

Li Tianxi betrays her brother and Qian Jin just to find a way home

Li Tianchen approaches ShiGuang and later kidnaps Cheng Xiaoshi because he also wants to go home

And Liu Xiao wants to, I don’t know, change the rules of time and space entirely?

God, writing that last bullet makes me realize that even Liu Xiao, who only showed up in the last episode of season 2, has more weight in the story than Qiao Ling. This is ridiculous.

Seriously, what is Qiao Ling even here for??? Play big sister???

Just market her as a supporting character. It’s fine. She’s still badass.

I also don’t have much hopes over how she will be in season 3 because of how season 2 ended. Qiao Ling seeing Lu Guang’s memories means her worth in s3 will inevitably be tied to this secret. It’s the s1 ending all over again. At the end of s1, her worth was tied to the mysterious Red Eyes. At the end of s2, it’s tied to Lu Guang.

If the Link Click writers are gonna keep pushing her as a protagonist, then they better start treating her like one!

It’s not enough to just give Qiao Ling a goal, by the way (although it is very important too). She must also become a player who has the power to control how the game goes. If she ends up inheriting Li Tianxi’s powers, as many theories have said, then may the drama around her not be focused on how she may leak Lu Guang’s secret at any time.

I don’t know what she could do with her powers, but I think it would be very interesting if she ends up opposing Lu Guang.

Lu Guang wants to keep Cheng Xiaoshi alive, but...

...he’s no longer alive. The Cheng Xiaoshi we see is just a glimpse of the past...

What if… as Qiao Ling sees more of Lu Guang’s memories, she sees more of the real Cheng Xiaoshi and suddenly… wants to let go… wants to move on?

The fandom have talked a lot about how ShiGuang may react once the secret is out. But what about how Qiao Ling would react to it over time as she realizes those memories weren’t just her overthinking things?

In season 1, she couldn’t bear to face that kid’s father for years, and at the end of s2, she couldn’t bear to confront Lu Guang… In s3, how long can she bear looking at her dead brother?

The chances of her “giving up” Cheng Xiaoshi and returning to the original timeline is slim, though. I’m just giving an example of how she can be more like a protagonist.

Anyways, I’ll end here… I still have so many thoughts, but I can’t figure out how to organize them. This has also been in my drafts for over two weeks and I just want to post it already!

Sate Yourself : Clandestine F*cks [Avenger! Loki x Fem. Reader] 18+

Part of the Clandestine F*cks Collection [Link] A link to my Masterlist is HERE Summary: (21) Post team-bonding, you gotta get that clandestine Loki D. Shameless smut, no real plot here folks. Warnings: 18+ Minors DNI. Smut. PV Sex. Dirty Talk. Ravenous Loki lust. Language. (w/c 2.6k)

Loki had barely had time to open the door to his room before you were upon him.

Fingertips tore at the back of his hooded sweatshirt, yanking the fabric against his maddeningly muscled shoulders.

A possession had gripped you.

The way he had covertly eye-fucked you throughout the entire team dinner. The way he had taken every opportunity to drive you to the brink of madness with his teasing tones, his sultry voice.

The wetness in your underwear was a constant reminder with every uncomfortable shuffle as you tried to focus on anything other than his unbearable sexual magnetism.

You had thought a quick fix of his attentions at the bowling alley would have dampened the raging arousal storming inside you. You were wrong. If anything, it had made it worse.

During desert he had licked a spoonful of ice-cream so seductively that your pussy tightened of its own accord, a violent shudder wracking your body. You had whined loudly, making Rogers reach for his medical pack.

“Steve, I’m fine...” you had said, voice wavering as your secret lover smirked across the table.

You were not fine. You were far from fine. And Loki knew it.

A few hours later, the fingers clawing at the cotton clinging to his back moved to his hair as you manoeuvred a willing god further into his rooms.

Your digits tugged roughly at the roots, making him hiss as his head fell back. The exposed smoothness of that delicious neck was one temptation too many, the veins straining with hot blood, pumping under duress. Loki’s ethereal skin mocked you with its virginal perfection, every inch crying out to be violated by your wandering mouth. Ripe for ruining. For marking.

Your teeth grazed against the warmth you found, moaning into his jawline as you began to devour him like a rabid hound.

“I’m sensing you require something from me, darling” he panted breathlessly as you kissed down the curve, the effort of maintaining his sarcastic tone making that deep voice waver.

“Do you need me, precious?” he whispered as your hands grasped at his torso, floundering against the zip of his hoodie as your hot pants groaned confirmation in his ear.

The fabric was peeled quickly down his arms, falling with a soft thump to the wooden floor. “I’m starting to doubt my ability to satisfy you at all.”

Loki’s goading words barely registered, lust radiating like steam from every pore as it boiled beneath your skin. It was pure pressure, a madness. You needed to feel every inch of yourself covered in his desperation for you, the same desperation that you felt for him.

“Show me how much you want me, Loki…show me…” you murmured absent-mindedly between tugging sucking bites on his skin, the leather of his belt unfolding through the buckle at your touch. “Do you not want me, Loki?” you teased, seeing his nostrils flare.

He growled, one hand clenched in a glowing fist as seidr melted the clothes from both of your bodies. The feeling of his bare skin was electric, the way his frame melded to yours in an instant telling you everything. Every hard muscle of his form rippled beside your curves, willing him to claim you. Absorb you.

An unforgiving thigh pressed upwards between your legs while his hard cock nestled against your stomach, slick blots of pre-cum sliding against your belly as he ground into you. You could smell his arousal; thick and heavy like the first fragrant autumnal dusk.

Loki ran his hands up your waist, pressing your breasts together before landing firmly of either side of your jaw.

“Not want you? I am insulted, pet” he snarled, the warning of his tone laced with unmistakable desire.

He made no effort now to contain the burning lust ignited behind his hypnotic irises; the vibrant colours barely visible against blown pupils.

In a flash, he raised you to wrap your legs around his hips, the base of his enormous manhood pressed flush against your pelvis.

Small thrusts betrayed his desperation to be inside your hot cunt, the neediness of his tongue forcing its way inside your mouth doing quicker work. Loki’s large palms kneaded your ass as he held you tight against him, loud moans sporadically rumbling from his throat as you tasted every drop of his passion.

“Here” you whispered wantonly. “I want you here.”

Loki sank to his knees, gasping quietly as you pushed him backwards flat on the hardwood floor. You pressed against his crotch, enjoying the slick slide of your wetness against his straining cock.

“At least let me conjure a blanket” he muttered, beginning to prop up on his elbows. You pushed him back against the floor with a thud, leaning to kiss a ravenous trail of languishing love-bites up the centre of his chest.

You rested your chin above his heart, gyrating your hips a final time against the solid length nestled tauntingly between your soaking folds, watching as his jawline rose to the ceiling in anticipation.

“Don’t make me suffer, darling...I complied to your request earlier.” he groaned, his back arching off the wood.

“You did. But it wasn’t enough...” you cooed, raising yourself to look down on the handsomest face you would ever see. “With you Loki, it’s never enough.”

His fingers slid over the creases of your hips, beginning to rock you gently against his length which sat maddeningly flat-pressed against your core.

“You wish to sate yourself upon my cock, darling?” he purred coyly, his eyes glinting. “You have a mighty need to claim me once again, perhaps?”

Those glistening lips stretched into a knowing smile, a chuckle forming before another swift thrust of yours made him groan. His eyes squeezed shut, teeth bared to the ceiling as he muttered filthy curses at the audacity of your teasing cunt.

“I need it. More than anything.” The whine in your voice pierced your ears, desperate need layered in the air like perfume as your clit throbbed against his pelvis. Every tug was ecstasy after your deprivation over dinner. The promise of relief its own reward.

Loki moaned as you raised your hips a final time, guiding his rigid cock to your entrance. You brushed it against the dripping centre, a low whimper passing his lips as his head lifted from the floor. He watched with knitted brows as you edged him inside you; inch by inch. The furrows on his forehead deepening in pleasure with every ridge of your channel that wrapped mercilessly around his disappearing manhood.

“Fuuuuuck” he growled, as your sensitive nub hit his mound. You could feel the heavy tip of his cock pressing against your cervix, beginning to make small circles with your hips as he grunted beneath you.

His rising moans lit a trail of wildfire in your body as you felt his thighs widen at your back, rising to change the angle of his entry.

You began to grind purposefully on his length, palms spread against his tense shoulders. Loki could overpower you in an instant if he chose, but he always let himself be ridden just so. Always.

The pressure on his shoulders kept him in place, letting you work him as the small pulses of his restrained pelvis drove you wilder with a primal desire to fuck him into the ground.

With every rise of your hips, you left the tip, crashing back to the centre of his lust with a squeeze of your walls.

“Norns...fuck darling, that’s it. That’s.it.” he groaned to the ceiling, the restraint of his submission making the muscles of his neck bulge. Loki’s hands fell from where they gripped your thighs, curling into fists against the floorboards.

His arms straightened, the smooth curve of his biceps flexing as you fucked him mercilessly on the wood. Every piece of him was yours to claim as his moans grew louder, letting himself be mastered like a steed.

“Darling, uhhh...hevder meg s-som det er siste g-gang, fucckkk yes, like...like that.”

His moans thundered around the enchanted walls, every staggered breath exhaling a louder groan than the one before. His hair spread in a dark halo against the mahogany, allowing himself to be used for your pleasure; allowing himself to be serviced like a king.

“Loki...f-fuck you feel incredible” you keened, as your clit rubbed against his base; tugging with every low drag of your groin against him. You leant forward, catching his open mouth in a messy kiss as your hands combed past his temples.

Low sounds of his taunt ass smacking against the wood peppered the air as he began to take back control, the approach of his orgasm making him greedy. “You are the best fuck I’ve ever had, Y/N...do you know that?” he purred against your lips, the crash of his tongue against yours silencing any response.

You felt your pussy tighten, the throbbing in your swollen clit cresting as you came hard around him. A staggered whine of his name filled the air as you braced against his horizontal chest, nails scratching down his shoulders.

Loki grunted like a beast as your howls of pleasure vibrated against the skin of his neck, the grip of your thighs pressing vice-like at the sides of his own. One of his hands cupped the back of your head, tugging you roughly upwards into another deep kiss.

Your god moaned wantonly inside your mouth, unable to tear himself away from the addictive taste of your insatiable lust. His breath buffeted down your throat in hot gasps as he clamoured against the rising tide of his own cum, ready to fill you to the brim.

He released a guttural growl, primal malice grunting from his chest as strong fingertips sank into the soft flesh of your thighs. “Mine.” he murmured, his eyes narrowing as his thrusts slowed. “Nå... min tur, kjære.”

You gasped as he lifted your effortlessly, cock never leaving your dripping centre as he lowered you to the sofa.

He reclined you at an angle with the armrest, positioning himself in a way which completely encased your willing body under his dominant protection. One of Loki’s legs knelt to your side, the other angled to the floor as he settled between your thighs; his length rubbing gently inside your pussy still searing from climax.

“Such a desperate mortal, aren’t you darling” he goaded, watching your head fall back with a mess of tangled hair. “Pathetic, really. How much you crave me…” he hummed thoughtfully, making lazy circles on your tingling clit with his thumb.

It had been a while since he had degraded you thus. You had missed it.

“Never happy with what you are given. Always wanting more. Well let me give you more, darling. Let's see how well you take the full might of my Asgardian cock.”

Your stomach fizzed at his words, breath growing short. Had he been holding back? The thought terrified and thrilled you at the same time as you lay totally exposed to his will, legs wrapped around his muscled hips. Your ankles were crossed above the curve of his perfect ass, his stomach muscles clenching just below your line of sight.

The first thrust met the base of your open thighs with a heavy thud as you cried out in surprise. He felt bigger, somehow. Wider. Thicker. Loki had always been a strong lover, able to bend you to his amorous needs...but this was different.

A level unlocked in the depths of him as he withdrew and hammered into you once more. “Loki…” you gasped, tears welling in your eyes.

“Too much, love?” he murmured quietly, the facade of his domination slipping. You shook your head, biting your lip. “That’s my girl.” he growled gently as he looked down at you, the corners of his lips curling wickedly as he thrust into you again.

Loki's jaw clenched as he moaned your name, savouring every drag of his cock out of your tight hole as you squirmed in bliss beneath him. “I enchant it to be less intimidating…” he grunted, thumbing your clit with increasing intensity. “But you have been so needy today pet that c-clearly...maximum fucking is required.”

“Maxim-um...m-ma…?” You stammered nonsensically, waves of pleasure simmering your blood as he bottomed out again.

The fact that his cock was even bigger than you thought, some kind of illusion...you would ask him later. For now, Loki taking his pleasure through filthy groans of your name, filling you with his godly flesh, taking you like a whore as he pleased. That was all you needed in this world.

“L-loki I’m going to cc-come again, fuck...Lokes…” you whined. Loki chuckled, strands of hair trailing seductively around his cheekbones. “Then take it, pet...while you can.”

The walls of your cunt clenched around the absolute unit filling you, your centre of pleasure impaled on his own as you leant up to catch him in a desperate kiss. Hands which had been braced against the sofa wound around his shoulders, pulling him deeper as he grunted dirty whispers through gritted teeth. “Are you ready, my little god-slut. Do you want me to claim you for my own?”

“I’m already y-yours, Loki” you whispered, body rolling with the throes of never-ending climax as he took you against the leather upholstery.

“One cannot become complacent in these matters, darling” he purred, edging his unbearably wide tip at your soaking entrance, arousal smeared across your inner thighs. "I need to be certain."

He bottomed out slowly, the muscles in his face twitching as every inch was pushed through with intent. He bared his teeth, the pleasure of your tight centre relenting twisting his features in an awe-struck grimace.

A strained groan slipped from the back of his throat, the guttural noise making you clench against him. You heard the slurp of your juices deferring to the blissful intrusion, legs twitching as Loki of Asgard took you all the way.

Strands of his hair fell in waves across your face as he rocked against you, feeding your voracious cunt with all the attention it craved.

“Goddddddd” you moaned sluttishly, nails digging into his precious skin; tearing down the flanks of his ribs.

Loki began to pant, fully formed dirty mutterings replaced by loud exhales that filled your ear with warmth. One of his arms was braced against the back of the sofa, the other desperately massaging your breast as his breaths staggered. “I’m going to fill you...sate you, darling..with my m-y..varmt frø som...hot.fuckk... jeg vet du krever...”

“Yes L-loki...fill me with your h-hot c-cum, uhhhh... I need it.” you begged, salivating with need as he came undone. “Please, give it to me…”

The desperate whines from your parted lips were enough to tip him over the edge. You thought your eardrums would burst with the volume of his thunderous orgasm, tearing the air like dragonfire through city streets.

His cock dove to the hilt between your widened legs, the force of his cum hitting the back of your channel like a soft blow to the stomach as you gasped in surprise. Syllables of your name soared from Loki’s throat to the ceiling, a prayer of adoration as he spent his load inside your ravenous pussy.

He slowly lowered his head against your shoulder, low grunts of satisfaction huffing against the sweat-dampened skin he found.

“I fucking love you” he murmured gently, placing deep kisses along your collarbone. A gentle thrust of his cock made you whimper, a reminder that he was still nestled inside you. And that despite his devastating climax, he was still hard.

You smiled, noticing that the familiar feeling of his ‘normal’ size had returned.

“May I consider my lover satisfied now?” he chuckled, eyebrows slanting as he followed your gaze flickering pointedly towards his bedroom.

“Almost.” you purred.

Loki’s lips twitched in a knowing smile.

Norwegian Rough Translations

hevder meg som det er siste gang – claim me like it’s the last time

nå... min tur, kjære – now, my turn darling

varmt frø som jeg vet du krever – fill you with my hot seed

You know, I want to say this, because from the first time I saw the Toei Ladybug anime PV, my impression of Felix was always that he’s emo/angsty. Like the “I’m so tortured”, listens-to-Linkin-Park sad sop kind of thing.

When TA said this dynamic got scrapped because it was too cliche, I thought he meant that it’s too much like the 2000s-era brooding dudes and I get that maybe they thought it’s just “too yesterday” or whatever.

I don’t really see where the accusation of him being a jerk comes from. Do the non-anime crowd maybe just see it differently or something? Because there’s stuff that are probably anime-specific gestures that you might not catch if you’re not used to it. Or maybe it’s the sketches/concept art that came out later that affected people’s perception, IDK.

(for example, the drawing of a guy dropping apple on Marinette’s head that people thought was Felix for the longest time, but is recently revealed to be a pre-Felix incarnation called Nathan)

Anyway, I don’t know what kind of material was Toei given to work with or if this is just “Vibes” and don’t map to any of the backstage versions that we’re aware of. If I’m just looking strictly at the PV, Felix just looks like a sad emo boy.

Like this little close up of his eyes when he talks to Marinette. His eyes narrow slightly, and his head tilts down a little. In anime, they usually do this to show melancholy/sadness, conflicted feelings, or hurt.

So the scene that follows, where he walks away, looks like a classic “I can’t be close to you because [insert dramatic reason here]” kind of scene. Just... it can be whatever. Maybe his parents are too strict and limits who he interacts with, he needs to focus on his studies, he doesn’t want his bad luck to hurt her, or whatever Sad (TM) stuff you can think of.

The same with the scene where he refused Marinette’s invitation. When he turns away you see that he’s looking down slightly. Again, this feels more of a “I actually want to but I can’t because [insert Plot (TM) reasons here]”. Not a cold snub.

Just because she looks sad (exaggeratedly), doesn’t mean that he was being mean to her. Shoujo heroines do this a lot even when the guy turned them down very nicely and for valid reasons (e.g “I can’t go because I need to go to work/attend a very important family function/someone literally died/etc”).

And honestly her face looks more like a typical shoujo “Aww darn, better luck next time” kind of face to me.

Anyway. This is my anime POV observation. Someday I will get around to actually making something and not just passively viewing content.

Last week, in the middle of a pretty trash week in general we learned that Sakurai Atsushi, lead singer of legendary Japanese rock band Buck-Tick passed away on Saturday October 16th.

I'm not sure how much I've spoken about them on here.

I found them in late 1998. When I got that X/1999 fansub in Brooklyn where I first heard X-Japan, it sent me down a rabbit hole. I would find out the fandom and the country were reeling from the passing of X's guitarist hide earlier that year, in Spring, and I would find a stream of a tribute album. Hide tribute spirits.

This is where I first heard Buck-Tick. Their cover of "doubt" left me wanting more.

I would then learn that they had been around since 1983 (i was 3).

youtube

(this is from 87)

They evolved through many eras, from new wave to goth (?) to cyberpunk to rock'n'roll to a combination of all eras. Their influence can be felt even in modern visual kei. They are probably the band that made everyone in that scene wanna have at least one jazzy swing type song on their albums. Hell, Acchan's the reason Kyo is Kyo. Sakurai's look inspired many anime character designs (and I'm pretty sure Benimaru Nikaido from King of Fighters is based on 80s Buck-Tick....yes...they ALL had that hair).

In fact, a lot of their music was in anime (especially if said anime was about vampires. It always amused me that during the era where Acchan looked like a vampire, B-T were the band you called if you needed a theme song for your vampire anime.) Nightwalker, XXXHolic, Trinity Blood, and the very best one, the one that is actually scary, SHIKI!!

youtube

If you're not up on vis kei, you probably still have heard of him since he and Imai were in SCHWEIN with Raymond Watts from Pig and Sacha Konietzko from KMFDM.

He also had a band called The Mortal which did a pretty amazing Siouxsie cover.

youtube

I recommend Buck-Tick and the Mortal's entire catalog, most of which is on streaming now. I should make a bloody playlist.

I will add the playlist to this post later.

R.I.P. Sakurai Atsushi

one of the greatest vocalists ever, and condolences to the band.

I cannot stress enough how awful I feel for those guys.

This band was together for THREE FUCKING DECADES. No lineup changes.

Atsushi and Imai had the kind of vocal interplay you only get if you're basically best friends.

It's a terrible loss.

. . . and, . . . . no.

I can't end the post like this.

It's too sad.

This band brought too much joy to end the post like this.

I am leaving you with the saga of the paper mache head people.

in the 80s, for the album Seventh Heaven (an album I might actually like better than Sexual XXXX, I can't decide), B-T did videos for quite a few songs (they did PVs for pretty much every song on Sexual XXXX), and 3 of them feature Atsushi having nightmares about/seeing people with large fake paper mache heads. Then in the video for In Heaven they are playing a show for them.

youtube

They had something I think is crucial to every band now and forever: WEIRD ASS MUSIC VIDEOS.

You think it was jus the 80s?

no no no

check out UTA

youtube

Just your average performance video? No. They dressed up like rock icons, with ridiculous wigs.

This is what I'm talking about. Joy, kids.

Atsushi and Buck-Tick brought JOY, dammit.

enjoy.

I'll post a playlist later, I guess.

Atsushi Sakurai, rest in power you legend!

Know your place pt.2

Warnings: Speeding,squirting, pet names, slight slapping, threesome, dp, pv, anal, slight cunnilingus, deep throating, bondage, makeshift gag,couch sex

You squeezed your thigh, as William sped down the highway, swerving passed cars and earning loud horns and swears.

“Honey, maybe you should slow down. Michael can wait”, you said, trying to reason with him. But all he did was huff, smirk, and place his hand on the back of your head rest, before slowing down and swerving into an exit.

Time Skip

William pulled into the driveway right behind Michael’s car before getting out and slamming the door close, and walking over to your door, opening it, and dragging you out, slamming that door as well.

“MICHAEL”, he yelled while unlocking the door and throwing you on the couch. Michael ran down the stairs and look at his father confused before he threw your panties to him. Michael blushed, catching them.

“Today, you are gonna join me and mommy, hmm”, he said smirking and gesturing to you sitting on the edge of the couch.

“Michael, you don’t have-“, you tried to say, but William took off his tie and gagged you.

“And you, little mama, aren’t gonna have a say in this.”

William started to unbuckle his belt and placed it around your wrists, bounding you and laying you on your back.

“Now Michael, how bout’ you get mommy ready.” William said, pulling out his hardening cock.

“I- Ok” Michael said, walking over to you and diving in between your legs. He started to suck and nibble on your clit, as you let out muffled moans. William took his tie out of your mouth and shoved his dick in your mouth, hitting the back of your throat, making you gag and moan even more.

“There we go, mama, you can do two things at once cant you”, He chuckled, slapping your cheek. “Now Michael how about you use mommy’s hole and I use her other one, huh”

He smirked, pulling out of your mouth, tapping his cock on your lips.

“Mhmm” Michael moaned, taking his dick out of his pants. “Wait, Michael” William said, before lifting you up and sitting you on his lap, slowing lowering you on his dick as he entered your unprepared, puckered hole. You whimpered at the stretch, feeling tears start to stream down your face.

“No don’t cry, it’s ok mommy”, Michael whimpered before entering your pussy. Moaning at the feeling and laying his head in between your breasts and suckling on your nipple. William chuckled before lifting up and down, moving you on his cock.

“Pay attention Michael”, he groaned, feeling you clench. “Sorry” Michael whimpered before fucking your pussy, feeling it clench as he whimpered and whispered about how he was a good boy and how thankful he was.

You screamed as they both stretched you, William having to cover your mouth as he reached deeper inside of you. Your eyes rolled back as you came for nth time, feeling an unfamiliar feeling as Michael’s whimpering grew before cumming in you, William following right behind.

As Michael pulled out, William rubbed your bundle of nerves before cumming as well, gushing on to the couch and on to Michael, as he sat wide eyed, watching you squeeze around nothing. He looked at his dad, smiling and reaching out to touch you.

“Mommy, can you do that again”, he begged. “Later”, William said, watching you start to doze off.

“Later”, he said, smirking.

Hi!!! I was just wondering if you wouldn’t mind doing a RoR Hercules x Female Reader short story (whatever you call it lol) but can it please be a Hercules dominant/meek-shy female reader. Hercules saves his childhood friend from a pride of lions as he’s in his Cerberus 12 labor form. And he confesses his love for her but she’s too shy to admit she loves him too. And can they please have sex 😅 pretty please

A/N: I love! Love love love me some Hercules ♥️🎀 request granted ♥️🙇🏼‍♀️ The voice PV dropped 💦

Warnings: 18+, tried to make it short, Dom! Hercules, Sub! (Fem) Reader,

“Don’t worry I’ll always protect you-“

Alcides, later known as Hercules, proudly announced he would protect his best friend before wincing in pain as his nose was currently bleeding and his best friend applied pressure to stop the bleeding as Alcides protected her from bullies.

Alcides protected everyone and was always on the side of justice. However, he was particularly protective of (Name), as she was shy and was just a sweet person.

“Thank you for saving me, but you should be careful next time.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t be defeated by those guys. Are you okay, they didn’t hurt you did they?”

Turning bashful and looking elsewhere (Name) told Alcides that she was fine, relieved Alcides sighed and smiled his cheerful smile thanking Zeus that she was okay. Both were under a tree outside of Thebes, it was their spot as (Name) took care of Alcides all the time as Alcides was constantly defeated by the bullies in their village.

In the following days, (Name) and Alcides were close and looked after each other. Alcides found (Name) being bashful sweet and always took up for her. Alcides trained for years and when he encountered a choice, always took the toughest path without any hesitation, in order to gain strength to protect the weak and (Name).

That is until the day Alcides ascended to Valhalla, while tearful (Name) was happy Alcides protected Thebes and was hinted throughout Greece. However, there were days she missed Alcides and unbeknownst to her Alcides missed her too, currently now known as Hercules. Even though Hercules resides in Valhalla he always kept an eye out for his best friend that had his heart.

“Don’t worry, I’ll always protect you (Name).”

Ever the protector, Hercules rescued (Name) from a group of lions. Amazed the shy (Name) now a full grown adult thanked Hercules from danger, Hercules smiled and held her close to him. Comforting her Hercules confessed that he always loved her and protecting her was always something he cherished doing. While the scene was romantic it was a bit too much for her at the moment and made an excuse before excusing herself leaving a pouting Hercules behind.

Luckily, Castor was nearby and comforted his friend by saying she’ll come around eventually, “She’s just shy.” Words that Hercules took to heart responding with “That he would wait forever.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll always love you Hercules.”

Night had fallen in Thebes, Hercules was welcomed in the king’s palace with open arms. What he didn’t count on was everyone in Thebes wanting to party with Hercules and so his palace was crowded with everyone in Thebes and people from nearby cities. Partying until late had Hercules asleep in his room alone, of course since he snored a bit.

Hercules was quickly awaken by feeling someone ontop of him, while it was dark he knew it was childhood crush. Bashfully saying “My apologies for earlier, can I make it up to you.” Smiling the hero responded with “Of course.”

A night full of lust and love.

Hercules was new with sex and so was (Name) but passion ruled the two with an iron fist as (Name)’s moans echoed throughout the room as Hercules’ had his thick and well endowed cock inside of (Name)’s wet and tight cunt. Being new to the world of sex Hercules was simple, missionary style ruled for the night. Still shy (Name) wanted to say so much but couldn’t as Hercules’ repeatedly struck her g-spot and with each thrust feeling like the demigod was fucking her stomach.

Hercules was very careful not to be rough with his childhood love, but the way her cunt tightened around him, the way her breasts moved to his thrusts, the way she held on to his well defined and toned biceps, stirred something inside Hercules that he never felt before.

Lust. Unfiltered lust.

Hercules was in a world of his own as the feeling clawed away at him, (Name) knew that lustful look anywhere and when Hercules abruptly slide his cock out of (Name)’s abused cunt both moaning a loud missing each other already. Catching her breath (Name) quickly asked Hercules why he had stopped only to be meet with Hercules teasing his cock at her entrance making her whine each time he teased her.

“I love your shyness, but now isn’t the time for that. Tell me what you want, use your words or I won’t give you what you want.”

“But-Please don’t tease me-“

“I’m not teasing, I would never tease you. But-I just want you to tell me how much you want me. Don’t be bashful.”

Lust was truly ravaging Hercules’ mind and he wanted nothing more than stick his cock back inside (Name)’s sweet cunt but he wanted to hear her say how much she needed as much as he wanted her. Hercules kept his teasing (Name)’s needy entrance with his cock that would twitch with excitement when he felt how wet she was.

“I want you, is that good enough love?”

“No, my sweet. Say what you want.”

Bashfully did her best to say what she wanted to say while Hercules teased her, eventually (Name) caved in to her lust and told her love “Make love to me, and fuck me.” While she stuttered over her words a bit Hercules was satisfied and wasted no time in sliding his cock back into (Name)’s cunt once more both moaning again at the feel of each other. Hercules would sometimes tell (Name) how she felt and would feel his cock twitch with excitement when (Name) answered back with “Amazing.” While dominant Hercules was never disrespectful but praised his lover like a goddess and once she felt her her orgasm building up Hercules held her right hand that was much larger in size with his ferocious pace inside her never faltering.

“I can feel you coming, my sweet. Go ahead and cum for me. Nothing would make happier.”

His sweet words laced with his animalistic thrusts sent the shy (Name) over the edge making her cum reaching her orgasm and feeling the delight euphoria running thru her veins as her eyes were rolled back as Hercules chased after his own orgasm as his cum filled (Name) womb to the brim, making a shiver run up (Name)’s spine enjoying the feel of her favorite demigod’s cum.

The room was quiet as the two laid beside each other with (Name) catching her breath, only to be interrupted with Hercules jumping on top of her again with a big smile on his face.

“Ready to go again?! That was amazing! Come on let go again!”

(Name) saw the seriousness and joy in Hercules and was so taken back by Hercules wanting to go again so quickly, but it was something would soon get used to.

hi! i saw your milgram pv translation thread and i wanted to ask a few unrelated questions about japanese if that’s okay!! i was just curious how long you’ve known japanese for. did you learn it? if so how long did it take to reach fluency? or was it your native language? i was curious because i want to start learning japanese and use it to fulfill my foreign language requirements when i go to uni. do you have any tips for a beginner who wants to learn japanese?

Ohh this is gonna be a long one, I hope you don't mind 😂

I started to dabble in it back in 2014/15, but I only got more serious about learning it around 2019 I think? I taught myself the basic grammar and the hiragana/katakana from a textbook at first and then used Duolingo later on. The majority of my vocabulary is actually stuff I've picked up while consuming JP media, though - a lot of it from different kinds of anime/manga, drama CDs, interviews, some variety shows etc. That's mainly a personal studying preference though - I have the easiest time learning languages while I'm actively doing things with them, whereas a lot of people seem to prefer going by textbooks from what I've heard. Different methods work for different people!

(The textbook I used is a German publication so I doubt it'll be much use to you, but it's this one if you're interested 🙇‍♂️)

I do have to admit that I'm not actually really fluent in the language - I understand a decent amount (especially when listening, since that's where I've got the most practice) and I can make basic conversation, but I'm far from native speaker level 😂

I've never studied Japanese as anything more than a hobby so I can't really speak on using it to fulfill requirements for uni, but I do believe that it's a relatively easy language to learn (in comparison to other languages I've studied)? In terms of grammar at least. We don't talk about kanji lmao

As for tips,, the most important things are to keep at it and have fun! Finding a studying method that works for you + maybe even finding a way to connect studying the language to your other interests can really help keep your motivation up in my experience. (Also don't feel discouraged when progress is slow, it is a completely different language from English after all!)

I'm wishing you all the best on your Japanese learning journey, anon! Good luck!

(I'm putting a list of some of my favorite Fun Ways™ of learning new vocabulary and stuff under the cut in case you want some input / ideas btw 👉👈 I'm not sure how useful these are when you're a complete beginner but maybe it'll be useful)

slice of life / highschool anime are a really nice way of picking up new words in passing since they tend to not dive into complicated / very specific vocabulary (e.g. there's no talks about law / medicine / etc etc) and the characters usually don't speak in specific dialects - I'm especially thinking of Miira no Kaikata and Gakuen Babysitters here, but I'm sure there's more

(the same goes for anime specifically geared towards children, but I don't have any recommendations there 🙇‍♂️)

once you know hiragana, renshuu's J-crosswords app is a fun way of practicing them and expanding your vocabulary!

when it comes to kanji, I've found it helpful to just jump right into it and try to read manga in Japanese. a lot of manga include furigana (i.e. the pronunciation of the kanji written next to them in hiragana), so if you know hiragana, you'll eventually start picking up recurring kanji as well 👌 you'll definitely be best off with digital publications for this though, especially if you don't have excellent eyesight. the furigana in manga volumes are small fdjhsgdjfd

listening to native speakers (especially in actual conversation & not acted like in anime) is always very helpful as well! I'm personally pretty interested in the seiyuu industry so I tend to go for anime-related radios or shows like Seiyuu Yoasobi for this, but it works just as well with Japanese (or bilingual!) Youtubers etc - this is also a matter of finding things that with your interests honestly

and, last but not least, following some native speakers on social media! you probably won't understand much initially without the good ol' translate button but I personally still always feel a little sense of achievement whenever I can actually read a tweet on my own 😂

🎶I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy, Down in my heart (where?), Down in my heart (where?), Down in my heart, I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy, Down in my heart (where?), Down in my heart to stay🎶 ✨Joy! Joy! Happiness!✨It’s the best feeling ever! It’s what made Rose immune to Guiltrips powers and be chosen as the holder of Daizzi, The Kwami of the Pig Miraculous, to be Pigella and spread the love of positivity to save her girlfriend Juleka! It’s such a cute power, how could a good power like that be used for evil? Is it possible? Let’s see:

*Jubilation-Marinette was jogging (good for her, it’s nice to see her doing something to stay in shape what with being Ladybug and all and also outside of fashion) when she sees Principal Damocles The Owl, wait, this guy is still doing cosplay!? Sh*t! Didn’t he learn nothing from last time!? (“The Dark Owl”) Guess not!😒 How disappointing. So then Ladybug comes in to-WAIT! (record scratch) That is not Ladybug!

Is that-Is that who I think it is!? (GASP!) OMG! IT’S BRIDGETTE! (Squee) I DON’T BELIEVE IT! IT’S ACTUALLY HER! I KNEW WE’D BE SEEING HER-SOQUELINE!? (record scratch). Huh, well how ‘bout that!? This little Marinette doppelgänger was a former classmate of hers and now she’s LARPing too! Marinette doesn’t take kindly to this (even if Soqueline means well) so she harshly tells both Damocles and Soqueline to quit playing “make believe” and just be normal!

This of course saddens Damocles and he’s akumatized as Dark(er) Owl again, but with the power of The Pig Miraculous that brings happiness to its target. Hmmmm, a frightening Batman-esque villain with a power that brings joy…….how’s that gonna be effective? You’d be surprised! Cuz I think this ep gave us a foreshadowing on the series finale😉. It’s a common tactic villains use to mess with the heroes, magically putting them in a dream like world where everything’s perfect and they’re happy and it all goes according to plan to distract them from a bigger scheme they’re doing and then eventually the heroes realize its all fake, wake up and kick some a**. THAT’S how effective the power of happiness can be used for evil!

I’m impressed with Marinette here. She’s serious about quitting cold turkey on love and has really shelved Adrien and dating all together to focus on more important things in life. She’s still gushing about him, yes, but at least it’s subtle and I’m very proud of her for that. What I’m not so proud of is Damocles being a bird brain over here! The heroes told him not to go “dress up” and save the day cuz he doesn’t have powers like them and could seriously get hurt or worse, but Noooooo! He didn’t listen! :P. Btw, I’m not hating on cosplayers here, I’m just saying he should’ve called the authorities to help instead of doing dangerous things himself like saving cats from high structures. Marinette didn’t mean to be harsh to tell both her principal and friend about playing pretend, but she (secretly) knows first hand what it’s like to take big risks and have a horrible outcome from it (Shadow Moth’s Final Attack Part 1:”Risk”/Part 2:”Strike Back”). False alarm, it’s not Bridgette, it’s just some other girl who vaguely looks like Marinette and runs an arts and crafts shop. For those who don’t know, “Bridgette” was the fan nickname we gave PV Ladybug Marinette cuz since Felix from the PV was retooled as Adrien to be Cat Noir and then later brought back cuz of popular demand (in a disappointing manner), we didn’t want people confusing the two Marinettes cuz her name stayed the same, so PV Ladybug Marinette was fanly nicknamed “Bridgette”. Should’ve known, Bridgette wore shorts and had an ahoge that looked like it was alive and would form into a heart and Soqueline wears glasses and pants. Whether this was their way of bringing “Bridgette” into the show or not, Soqueline seems nice and was only impersonating Ladybug in the hopes of being recruited as a super. We were lucky she knew gymnastics and Taekwondo, otherwise, this would’ve been a disaster for both her and Damocles. I’ve heard people saying they don’t like Gabe/Monarchs new look, and yeah, it’s stupid. His new civilian outfit makes him look like a giant Q-tip and his new villain outfit makes him look like a “giant purple condom”! Bleh! And this guys supposed to be a fashion designer!? We got a more look into the alliance rings and they’re basically a Siri-like gizmo that also works like an smart phone using a digital version of either Adrien or Lila (and specialized for Gabe, Emilie) as a guide. Marinette was almost exposed as Ladybug when she borrowed Soquelines cuz the ring tracked her every route during her crime fighting and that’s why Gabe made those things! Don! Don! Don! Luckily, he thought it was Soqueline, so Marinette stays clear of those rings and Adrien doesn’t give a sh*t about them too cuz since he’s quit modeling, he’s now an everyday Joe playing video games in his jammie’s and leaving junk food everywhere (are they making fun of us Americans!?). Adrien, sweetie, it’s great you gave up modeling at long last, but please, GET A HOBBY! It kinda sucks that even though he quit, there’s a digital version of him still representing the Agreste brand so it’s not like Adrien “quit quit”, cuz it’s still his face modeling! Gabe needs to hire a new teen male model (when he’s not busy being a villain) Seriously! The Kwamies imprisonment is worse than we thought, Monarch’s using the newly redesigned miraculous rings as a fuse source by attaching his rings to their inescapable glass containers, transferring the powers onto anyone who bought an alliance ring to be akumatized with so the hero’s won’t be able to figure out where the miraculous is and dispensing food for the Kwamies to regain energy like they were hamsters! Poor things. What was the “happy” moment Darker Owl made them see? Weeeeeeell, they defeated Monarch by finding A BUSINESS CARD! XD, locating him through the address on it, doing a double single punch on him, saving Paris, falling in love, getting married with every superhero and celebrity in the show and having not 3, but 4 kids and becoming the new Incredibles! Cute. At least, it would’ve if it didn’t happen in a cheesy way.

Majijo Leaders Yuko and Salt

Guys, a long time ago I told you about some dirty work that I’d ask you to do. You’re gonna work for me. Now’s time, here’s the real business.

There’ve been lots of beautiful drawings around all those years, but there’s THE masterpiece that needs to come out once and for all. I want the most talented among you guys making a drawing with Yuko and Salt together. I know some of you don’t like it, Yuko will always be Yuko for some, Salt will always be Salt for others they’re not two girls who can be mixed together and that’s something we all naturally understand I feel the same, no explanation needed.

That’s why this stuff is so special, an exception cause I wanna get this gift from you guys. It’d be complete. It doesn’t really matter how you wanna draw them, if you make them kissing sure I’d marry you ;) .... More seriously, just great stuff will be fine that's why if you got good drawing skills then just fuckin show them off to me, blow me away. Beyond love, it’s also a personal way to let you participate. Sure I’ve got other ideas in mind (nothing pervert but why not) that I’ll tell you later in the time. I guess some old drawers have graduated but if some are still around here and reading this too that’s good, time to go back into business for a while. Perfection for Leaders. No doubt your drawings will be perfect :) . Send them to me in pv, or if you’re too shy to do it just tag me, I’ll post them here. Thank you guys ! Love.

My Review of Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni GOU

(a.k.a. When They Cry Gou)

I know what you’re thinking. Why the heck am I reviewing this anime again? I’ve already written a review in 2009 and re-polished it in 2016. (Here it is BTW) I’ve made my point on who I like, hate, what ships are worthy, and poked fun at all the deaths that happened throughout the series. I think some time has passed that I should say some thoughts on this…um, story. After all, Higurashi is one of my favorite animes.

STORY: Ah shit, here we go again!

Higurashi or When They Cry is about a boy named Keiichi Maebara who recently moved to a place called Hinamizawa. And ever since moving to this town, he’s found his days are filled with fun mischief with fellow friends Rena Ryuuguu, Satoko Hojo, Mion Sonozaki, and Rika Furude. But little does Keiichi know that there’s a little murder mystery that surrounds the town. During a town festival known as Watanagashi (or Cotton Drifting), there’s usually one or two people that go missing or turn up dead. And this year, Keiichi is next. So let’s relive the horrors that plague the town of Hinamizawa and…

One episode later.

Wait, what the…?! It’s episode 2, why are we seeing Hanyuu? I don’t remember that in the manga. The visual! THE VISUAL! WHAT THE FUCK?! ISN’T THIS SUPPOSED TO BE A REBOOT? WHAT THE FUCK?! WHAT THE FUCK?! WHY IS THERE AN ADULT RIKA?! WAIT, IS THAT ADULT RIKA OR BERN? IS THIS GOING TO BE THE PARALLEL UNIVERSE TO THE WITCHES OF UMINEKO?! THE SHADOWS IN THE OPENING ARE TOO FAMILIAR FROM OTHER WORKS! Ryukishi07, you magnificent, fucking troll master for keeping this hidden until the second episode’s air date!

Many of us did not see this coming. When they announced a new Higurashi series that was going to be done by a different studio, many of us speculated whether this was going to be a reboot or a sequel. But then we got the PV trailers and it looked like we were going to get a reboot to correct the mistakes Studio Deen made years ago. Rika’s head doesn’t look like its gonna snap off because her body is so small in comparison. Improvements! I mean, they showed everything we were already used to like the yandere girls, the original soundtrack, the original freakin’ cast, and death by baseball bat. Hell, the first episode ended with an Eiko Shimamiya song! It was on track to being a reboot! A better looking reboot!

Here in lies the sequel aspect! After episode one, we get a scene that isn’t usually seen until the Kai part of Higurashi (a good 4-5 arcs away). And they give away the secret that Rika Furude is repeating the timeline of June 1983 over and over because she keeps dying. And as the series progresses, you notice little things different from the original series. Many of the well-known storylines end much differently than what you remember. Instead of Keiichi killing Rena and Mion with a baseball bat, you’ve got Rena going psycho on Keiichi. And Rika’s fate is somehow worse than the stories of the original series. So let’s head back to Hinamizawa to hear the cicadas cry and watch a murder mystery unfold.

THE SUB: All the original voice actors have returned to voice their respected roles. Perfection in a nutshell!

LICENSING: You’ve gotta be shitting me!

As I’ve mentioned years ago in my review, the original Higurashi anime went through a turbulent time being licensed in the states. It was originally licensed and dubbed by Geneon. But once Geneon collapsed, FUNimation licensed it and did absolutely fuck all with it. Geneon could only manage to squeak out one season. At this point, FUNimation was picking up titles that Geneon used to have before it fell under including Familiar of Zero, Kyou Kara Maou, and yes, Higurashi. All of these titles mentioned here were done absolutely nothing with despite having cult followings, second seasons, and OVA’s.

A year or two after licensing it, the license expired for Higurashi. For nearly six years, the only copies you could get were out of print and estimating at $500 at the very least for a full collection. Single DVD’s could be found in rare shops, but it would take like 13 years to complete the fucking collection if you did it that way. And that was only for the first season. Second season, the best all of us could do was bootleg DVD’s from Japan Town or fansubs with glaring errors for the best season to Higurashi. We had to deal with this shit until Sentai Filmworks licensed and released the first 2 seasons and the Rei OVA’s.

AND NOW YOU’RE TELLING ME FUNIMATION IS CLAIMING HIGURASHI ALL FOR THEMSELVES?!

Where the shit was this love 10 years ago when we were asking politely to release Kai? People ignorantly blew Higurashi off for years because season two was never released in the states until 2016 because they thought the damn anime ended after Rena held up the school. I’m already irritated with FUNimation after the Interspecies Reviewers debacle and I’m still quite butt-hurt over them re-releasing Nichijou with a dub to make a quick buck. Licensing Higurashi just brings back old anger. Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy Higurashi is legally licensed and can be seen on at the very least Hulu. It’s just that I hold grudges and this was a big one.

THE DUB: Holy…um, okay! This is a rather big gulp to take in. As I’ve repeatedly mentioned in past reviews, the Higurashi dub was a mixed bag of okay, bad, and oh gasperts kill it with fire. So, not great! The good folks at Geneon (before bankrupting in America) dubbed the first season with a good chunk of folks that put their fake names to the credits. Again, not great! To me, there were some aspects of Megan Hollingshed, Mela Lee, and Grant George’s performances of Mion, Rena, and Keiichi that were okay. SOME! John Snyder and Karen Strassmen as Ooishi and Takano were the best out of that dub. Everything else was just irredeemable! It needed a redub, an overhaul, and a spit-shine. For years, I’ve wondered who would be the dream cast. Sentai Filmworks unfortunately never dubbed the remaining seasons when they released them. Would Luci Christian be the heavenly voice to do Rika Furude? Could we get Hilary Haag to do Satoko? Okay, that never came to pass.

This dub is a breath of fresh air. Rika doesn’t sound like Mihoshi. Satoko doesn’t sound fake, Keiichi doesn’t sound like a weird Sonic the Hedgehog. It’s perfect. ESPECIALLY BRITTANY LAUDA AS SATOKO! I knew the second she was cast as Satoko that she was going to excel the fuck out of this role. And I was not disappointed! The only voice I’m still not quite used to is Michelle Rojas as the Sonozaki twins. Probably because I was somewhat okay with Megan Hollingshed’s voice in the 2006 version that it’ll take some time! And we FINALLY got a voice for Hanyuu. I am super excited that Xanthe Huynh is the voice and I know she’ll do great with this role! With all of that said, here’s what you might recognize these folks from.

*Keiichi is now played by Khoi Dao (known for Kiriyama on March Comes in Like a Lion, Murata on Demon Slayer, Chaka on Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure Pt. 3, and Iskhan on SAO: Alicization)

*Rena is now played by Emi Lo

*Mion/Shion is now played by Michelle Rojas (known for Shizu Delta on Overlord, Touka on Assassination Classroom, Minase on Psycho Pass, Kanan on Love Live Sunshine, and Kusakai on Keijo!!!!!!!!)

*Rika is now played by Apphia Yu (known for Rio on Assassination Classroom, Marie on Black Clover, You on Love Live Sunshine, Victorique on Gosick, Natsumi on Danganronpa 3, and Laki on Fairy Tail)

*Satoko is now played by Brittany Lauda (known for Riko on Made in Abyss, Meidri on Interspecies Reviewers, Lessar on Index III, and Ichigo on Darling in the FranXX)

*Hanyuu is played by Xanthe Huynh (known for Menma on Anohana, Haru on Persona 5, Hanayo on Love Live, Hidomi on FLCL: Progressive, PallaPalla on Sailor Moon Super S [redub], and Sachi on SAO)

ANY CHANGES IN YOUR HATE-O-RADE:

Okay Medea, let-a-rip!

*inhales and exhales*

Teppei Hojo is trash. He is ultimate trash. This fucker needs to be murdered in every timeline. He is a turd in a Glenn Quagmire shirt. Him and his wife are trash. And when this pile of trash is cheating on that pile of trash, he sleeps with peak trash named Ritsuko. Teppei Hojo needs to die in every timeline. Whenever Keiichi bashes this cum-burger’s head in with a blunt instrument, I scream at the top of my lungs, “DIE SCUM, DIE”! And nothing, I repeat, NOTHING will change my opinion of Teppei Hojo.

Episode 23.

Oh, fuck you Higurashi Gou!

MUSIC: Okay, thank you for proving me wrong. I did not despise the opening theme. Having Higurashi with no Eiko Shimamiya is like having Pokemon with no Rika Matsumoto. Or Rozen Maiden with no ALI PROJECT. But this new opening is fine by my standards.

That’s right, get the niceness of the review before I get angry down below.

THESE TIMELOOPS: Rika tries to find solutions to end her time-loop in June 1983. Much like the original series, we follow stories from the Onikakushi-hen, Watanagashi-hen, and Tatarigoroshi-hen arcs (the first three stories to Higurashi, although now these have different names). However, all of these arcs have different endings. And after a positive turnaround with Satoko escaping from her abusive uncle, shit goes south when Detective Ooishi, who up to this point has never suffered under the Hinamizawa Syndrome or died a painful death goes on a murderous rampage. Higurashi style! That means, he’s after Rika Furude, will slaughter anyone in his way, and scratching his neck because he sees maggots (part of the hallucination effect).

What the shit? Ooishi for the most part has been a great guy. With the exception of the Tatarigoroshi-hen storyline, he was a nice guy! In the limbo with Hanyuu, Rika now remembers who has killed her. Every time Rika dies up to this point, she never remembers who was the cause of her demise. Hanyuu implanted that power to remember the deaths and a clue for Rika to use and then she disappears.

Now seriously, imagine Rika’s plight here. She has been repeating the month of June 1983 for over a hundred years. And each of these times she repeats, she’s horribly murdered. Rika got the shit-end of the deal in the murder department in the original series, including being dissected on while alive. Then, leaving her bloody, naked corpse out in the open of the Oyashiro altar! She’s tired of this shit! She wants to live a happy life away from Hinamizawa. She wants to grow older, become a teenager, and have fun. And this series made it worse by having her die four times in one episode. Not just that, but murdered by the most unexpected people including Akasaka, Chief Kimiyoshi, Mion’s mother Akane, and Keiichi. Keiichi has never killed Rika in any of the timelines up to this point. He has killed Mion and Rena, but never Rika. Keiichi loves Rika! Welcome back to A Million Ways to Die in Hinamizawa.

I’ll just add decapitation, drowning in a lake, set on fire, drowning in a sewage pipe, and death by…um…

Alexa, play Chandelier by Sia.

ENDING: We all know by now that in the original series, Miyo Takano is the betrayer and the reason behind all the murders during the Cotton Drifting Festival. This time, it’s someone closer to Rika that’s causing Rika so much pain. After we watched the worst kinds of murders happen to Rika, the episode after gave us our answer. Satoko, Rika’s friend and confidant is not happy that Rika is turning her back on Oyashiro and Hinamizawa. All the while pulling out her intestines!

Oh Higurashi, don’t stop being gory!

Yes, Satoko is aware of past timelines much like Rika and is almost on a god-like state. So what the hell happened to her? I know Satoko’s past has been a cluster-fuck of horror with her brother disappearing, her parents dying, and every form of abuse from her uncle. But she was able to prevail after all that. After surviving 1983, a lot has changed in Hinamizawa. The three big families of Hinamizawa put an end to the Cotton Drifting Festival and claiming there is no curse of Oyashiro. Mion and Shion moved on and are going to high school. And Rika decides she wants to move away from this village. By attending St. Lucia! And she wants to do this with Satoko.

Oh, if you don’t recall St. Lucia, Shion attended this academy until she escaped during the Meakashi-hen arc. It was also the same school that Ange from Umineko attended. But of course Ange attended it in the 90’s and we are clearly in the 80’s. Moving on!

Rika and Satoko studied their butts off for years and their hard work paid off as both were admitted into St. Lucia. Now Rika was able to prevail and fit in with everyone. Satoko on the other hand couldn’t do the same as her grades took a dip, her manners are atrocious, and she doesn’t seem to fit in with anyone. And this caused a drift between Rika and Satoko! And so during a trip to Hinamizawa, Satoko went to the old shrine where she ended up getting sent to that limbo place Rika and Hanyuu were at many times before. There, she meets Eua (God, I hope that really isn’t her name). She’s much like Hanyuu except a lot more condescending. Oh, and she’s that mysterious shadow during the opening theme. She bestows the power to Satoko of reviving on death and returning to a certain point in time. In the hopes that Satoko is able to stop Rika from going to St. Lucia! But Rika is not going to budge. She wants out of Hinamizawa no matter what. And Satoko just wants to be with her friend no matter what. Satoko is even shown Rika’s past and still no dent in…Okay, this is bugging the fuck outta me. Pause the Ending portion!

MY GRIPES WITH SATOKO: Satoko, girl, the fuck is wrong with you?! I know Rika is like your main chick and everything, but for fuck’s sake loosen the grip you have with Rika. This season has changed you and not for the better. You made a connection with ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS from Hinamizawa. Big connections! At least in the original series you did. Look at your moments with Keiichi and Shion. Are you just going to shove them off? And what really sets me off is that Satoko literally had the opportunity to learn about Rika’s hundred year’s loop of death. And feels nothing about it! Only that it’s a challenge to break her herself! God damn, at the end of season one, Keiichi learned the truth and he was remorseful. This bitch doesn’t care that her friends were murdered in such a way. And Rika’s been shot in the head, had a live dissection performed on her, and other forms of torture…AND IT DOESN’T FAZE SATOKO!

I know in my original Higurashi review, I felt sorry for Satoko as she did seem to get the short-end of the stick living in Hinamizawa. I mean, her parents died right in front of her, she suffered abuse from her uncle, abuse from her aunt, ostrisized by the town for years, and a myriad of all types of shit to befall her. But Higurashi Gou has ruined this character. Rika didn’t really do anything wrong to Satoko. She didn’t snitch on her when Satoko got in trouble. She offered help to Satoko when she thought her grades were slipping. Satoko just held onto this petty vendetta. Satoko acted like Rika sexually assaulted her and have two other people gang rape her while drugging her. Okay, that’s a call for revenge, not your petty shit.

YOU SEE WHERE I’M AT WITH YOU SATOKO?! Your actions are so bad that you have me siding with the protagonist from Redo of Healer.

REDO.

OF.

HEALER!!!

I’m done with you! Girl, bye! We now return you to my talk about the ending already in progress.

BACK TO THE ENDING: Sorry, had to get that off my chest. Yeah, Satoko is leaving a bad impression on many of us who have been following the Higurashi story for years. And it just gets worse as she uses her new power for petty shit and abusing it at that. I mean, we saw Rika use her power in order to find a way to live past June 1983. Satoko is just using that shit to win some games and have things go her way. What else could this series bless us with? How about an epiphany from Teppei Hojo?

What?!

Teppei changes for the better.

What?!

Look, I admit that these moments with Teppei and Satoko were tame compared to the shit she’s pulled in the last several episodes. But this is Teppei Hojo! The same guy that used Satoko as his personal punching bag! The same guy who fleeced Rena’s father! The same guy many of us who cheer every time we see him on a moped because we know someone’s going to bash his head in with a baseball bat. Even my best friend knows how I am with this guy. When she gave me Higurashi free swag, I took everything except for Teppei. I don’t take trash. So seeing him so remorseful makes me…conflicted.

So now Satoko’s got things turned around for her. Her uncle has…changed?! Add to that, her God-like power. Satoko decides to change the past for her own advantage. This includes changing one of the biggest stories in Higurashi Kai with the kids vs. Miyo Takano. If Rika doesn’t experience the pain in those timelines, she won’t think about leaving Hinamizawa. And if she doesn’t leave Hinamizawa, she’ll stay with Satoko forever.

Oh what a tangled web of crazy Higurashi Gou was! I gotta tell you, Higurashi got me excited all the way up until we learn it was Satoko. And then it went straight to Hell. They turned Satoko into a straight-up selfish monster. Totally unlike the Satoko we’ve all grown to love in the original series. Yes, Satoko had those moments where, yeah, you would want to throw a chair at her and beat her ass with it. But that was only temporary! You would always see the good in Satoko despite that mischievous laugh and those episodes in Higurashi Rei. And God help me, I was a shipper of Rika x Satoko 10 years ago. Not a big one, but a supporter of it. Now, I would rather support Amourshipping from Pokemon than root for this. And I despise the living fuck out of Amourshipping. That should tell you something!

If original Satoko were bestowed the powers from Eua, I think things would be different. Satoko would probably use her powers to prevent all the bad stuff from happening to her friends and to her brother Satoshi. I mean, my goodness, not once did I see her think, hey maybe I should find a way to help my ailing brother. Change a few timelines, make him all better! And of course, feel sympathy for Rika’s plight. Do it for Rika’s sake, not your own selfish desires! Rika has died horrificly for hundreds of years. And I seriously just can’t get over Satoko’s reaction to that when she learned the truth. Instead, she wants to treat Rika like a caged bird. Best friend my ass!

Now can Higurashi SOTSU fix the hot mess of Satoko? Time will only tell! And good on them for having Higurashi air in the summertime. Summertime is for Higurashi! Autum is for Umineko. Speaking of, it’s been since 2009. Any chance you want to give Umineko the old reboot or sequel it sorely needs? Oh forget it! My likeness for this season is conflicted. I was annoyed by it, but I didn’t fully hate it. It’s just that last arc with Satoko really burned my beans. And I’m sure a lot of you all feel the same way.

Guys, if you want to watch Higurashi Gou, do yourselves a favor and watch the original series first. Let that swirl around your heads for a while. I know the creator tricked us at the beginning of this series thinking it was going to be an honest-to-God retelling. It is not! It is a sequel. And a sequel that isn’t based off a game or manga of all things. So fans are jumping into this with eyes closed! And if you’re a fan of Satoko Hojo, I’m sorry. I’m just sorry.

If you want to check out Higurashi Gou, it is available to watch on FUNimation and Hulu. But please, if you haven’t watched the original series, go to HI-DIVE now and watch “When They Cry” and “When They Cry Kai”. I think you can manage without watching any of the OVA’s.

I’d rather watch that Kira OVA where the fanservice is thin, you can practically lick off the whipped cream from the Sonozaki’s tit.

That should tell you something if I’m starting to say something nice about Higurashi Kira.

See you in a few months when Higurashi SOTSU comes out.

Rewatching the PV movie, the Captain at the beginning of the movie when he met human Pandora and Fernand was like he was in the 3 first comic books of the original continuity : entirely badass, serious, grim, more a leader than a father figure (well he barely met the kid lol), very chaste and courteous in his courting and introduction to Pandora, and tragical. Indeed after the badass rescue, he shows he is somewhat sad, apologizing with guilt to Pandora despite that mutual love at first sight to have doomed her and her child to be undead without their consent but he had no choice, sadly sighing and commenting that yes flying is one of the few good things when he sees Fernand is having fun with his newfound ability, telling him and Pandora with a sad regretful tone and look that they won't ever age again which they don't mind at all for the moment... in short when he was not serious or in fight mode he was a sad man

Given how he later says he was punished for his radical actions as a living man and how in the original continuity in the first book he says he was cursed to navigate forever until meeting a woman willing to die for him (Pandora) which is even referred to when he hears Pandora about to be sacrificed praying for her life in exchange for her son's and he reacts "you would die for me ?" (Implying that it means that at first he would take it literally before meeting her eye to eye and falling in love with her), we can conclude, if the curse's end's condition was kept in the new continuity, that he had been sailing for decades feeling lonely and guilty thinking of everything he did alone

At this moment, Joann Sfar was returning to the old roots of the grim, serious and tragical Captain before he had changed his mind and made him the disaster dad and husband we love from the 4th book of the original continuity and so on, incorporating him in his new continuity by justifying it : he was lonely and cursed until Lord knew when. All that mattered was breaking the curse and sometimes feeling alive again by fighting mortals, and he was tired of his undead afterlife probably preferring being just alive or even just dead, finding it long and sad ridden in his shame with no one to really open up

But then he falls in love with the woman he saves, and feels guilty to have turnt her and her son into undead people (vampires in their case) since they touched the cursed ship. And his long monotone afterlife routine suddenly becomes stressful since the incel he thought he had beaten becomes a Reaper and runs after them for revenge. So for the vampires' safety they have yo be continuously moving around the world for 228 years until finding an abandonned house in good state and putting a magical charm that hides them, and finally they can breathe for 72 years

But as stressful as that running around was for over 2 centuries, it was because for the first time in a long time he cared for 2 people. His feelings for Pandora increased the more he knew her and saw how strong, smart, fun, witty, firey, determined and brave she was, to the point of ending up marrying her (it is never said when in 300 years however) and force of knowing and protecting him too he developped fatherly feelings towards her son to the point of seeing him and loving his as his own and developping a mutual father-son bond (Fernand saying "my parents" and getting angry when the Gibbous points out the Captain is not his dad). For the first time in forever he HAD a goal : protect people he loved and who loved him back. And that kept him going and determined for centuries and kept him busy instead of constantly thinking about what he did. In fact it made him move on and genuinely become a better person, a husband and a father. Plus, in fact, he was no longer alone since now he has Pandora with whom he shares a fusional relationship (mutual jealousy aside when potential rivals are around) confessing their feelings to each other, leading together and working and making decisions together as well as being romantic and goofily lovestruck with, and Little Vampire to whom he teaches things, has as much parental importance to as his mother, plays with, talks with since he values his intelligence and legetimity as a being and is gaga for and proud of, he cherishes him like his own

The movie's continuity is technically better since it gave the Captain a subtle logical evolution. He used to be tragical and serious, scary and grim, because he was lonely and cursed. He was probably depressed. But when he finally got a family and a purpose to stay living dead instead of dead dead, he finally became the goofy spouse who adores his other half à la Gomez with mushy petnames and the father figure we know and love who is fun to kids and shoves pistols down the throat of people who hurts them. They cured him by coming in his life

That day, he didn't just save them. They also saved him
