Ykw I'm making another post about this cuz fuck all of you. This is about the SHOW, because in the BOOK we don't actually know what happened. Tread carefully a lot of you won't like this and I'm purposefully mis-tagging it so it gets to the right audience.

There's a little trend on hotd tiktok, arguing the fact that the sex scene between Rhaenyra and Criston wasn't rape. It's the whole soft and hard power thing- soft and hard power is not something generally applied to a couple of people. In very basic and blunt terms, it's good cop bad cop for governments.

But, you know, if you TRULY want to apply it to Rhaenyra and Criston, Rhaenyra has both! Oh ehm gee!

Hard power = (again I'm saying this very bluntly) things like military attack. Economic sanctions. That sort of thing. Soft power = coercion. The ability to coerce, or, manipulate, someone to do something. Rhaenyra had both powers over Criston. As his princess, the current heir to the throne, she had the ability to use hard power on him and have him killed. For what you ask? She can make up anything! Her weird ass father is wrapped around her finger, and will do anything for her. She may have not even needed a reason. As for soft power, well we saw that demonstrated. She coerced him into having sex with her.

And now you're thinking one of two or maybe even both of these things; "She was a child!" "She was drunk!"

1.) You do not think she was a child. Yall were perfectly find with Alicent being married off to Viserys, years before this when they were younger. You were perfectly fine with 14 y/o Laena marrying Daemon. And let me be so crystal fucking clear here, THAT 25 Y/O THEY CAST FOR TEEN LAENA IS NOT WHAT LAENA WOULD LOOK LIKE. That WOMAN was 25. Over a decade older than the character. She was a horrible casting mistake that only played into making Daemon seem like a good person. The actual child that played the first version of Laena was closer in age to that Laena. Back onto the point, Rhaenyra, in your eyes, was not a child. She was 17 there- older than Westerosi standards, and just a year younger than modern day standards. She. Was. Not. A. Child.

2.) When has someone being drunk EVER made it okay to sexually assault someone?? Oh right, when it's your gross ass favs doing it. THATS when you justify rape.

So now that we've cleared that up, your final argument is probabl; "That's not how the writers wrote it! They confirmed it wasn't rape!"

wrong.

The shitty writers for that half assed show do not matter to me. I take almost everything they say with a grain of salt. If full grown fucking adults can't realize that what they're writing is rape, they do not matter to me. Imagine writing, directing, and reviewing that scene as a full grown adult and??? Just not understanding what you've done?? That is WORRYING to me. I am WORRIED about the fact that people like that exist. Yall can't see how that's gross? Fr?

Anyway no means no, stop means stop, and if you disagree you're the actual rape apologist and don't need to be consuming media like this because you clearly get off on it.

here to join in on the niki smut crisis

the countdowns are absolutely crazy.. the fact that people are like "oh hey as soon as he turns 18 its legal!" is mindblowing to me because, like the other anon said HE TURNED 18 LIKE 2 SECONDS AGO.. WYM UR POSTING A FULLY WRITTEN SMUT FIC AS SOON AS HIS BDAY STARTS 😭😭

even more crazy that these people are like in their mid twenties or some shit and isnt he like, 7 yrs younger than u.. 😬😬 thats the same age difference as a 11 yr old writing smut about him.. (borderline pedophilia cough cough)

also ykws even more crazy. one time like a few months ago me and my friend were listening the new nwjns album when it came out and suddenly she was like "oh yeah did you know ppl write smut about these kids.." and i was so shocked like what the fuck..? 😭

theres a literal tag on tumblr called "newjeans smut" and theres so many notes on the fics.. ITS CRAZY. and the youngest member is like what, 14 or 15?? shes the same age as my cousin dude like holy fuck... AND THE OLDEST MEMBER JUST TURNED 19 OR SO A FEW MONTHS AGO. this is still insane to me like i genuinely cannot comprehend how people think its okay ??

for me personally i say fics after they turn 18 is okayish but still borderline legal and kinda weird tbh like id at least wait till 19 or 20 sum, but countdowns??? wtf 💀 and if youre like 7 yrs older..??? um 😭..

no words, literally no words i am SPEECHLESS.

~《☘》

LITERALLY…. THANK YOU FOR THIS……. It’s so mind blowing to me that there’s even a debate about it like what do you guys MEAN it’s okay just because he’s 18? Have you not just been counting down since he was a minor then? What is wrong with you????

Also NO surprise about the nwjns stuff, those girls have been THROUGH IT since the moment they debuted 🤢 I swear nobody is normal about them and I have a hard time seeing any of their content purely because I always just feel so bad for them and how exploited they are. Makes me so sick when I see their fanmeets and it’s all grown ass men trying to hold their hands and gifting them some questionable stuff… like those are CHILDREN. These people could be the ages of their PARENTS.

Speechless all around. And especially that people are asking ME if I’m “excited about him turning 18”…. mf i’m excited for the day you get arrested ! BYE

Quick question. I saw on twitter that you mentioned that the Shadowside had things set up, but were changed after Hino stopped writing. You said something about Junior, but were there any other things you think were supposed to be different. Genuinely curious, because I haven't noticed anything, but I'm usually not very good at noticing these types of things. (Love your blog, and I hope you have a nice day!)

Thank you! (Sorry for the slightly late response ^^;)

Well, I’m not sure if I have much to say on this, I don’t have any actual background information of course, there’s just a bit one can read into it.

It’s gonna be a bit long, so I’m putting it under a read more.

The first episode is written by Hino, and in it we see some set ups that don’t really get picked up much afterwards.

One simple example is actually that Movie 4 and the PV for the first episode still used the OG tribes, Charming, etc, but by the time the first episode came out, the Charming symbol on Jibanyan’s arc was changed to Mononoke, from the new system. This means at that point, the new tribe system was just getting invented, and it also indicated Shadowside was kinda suffering from the fact that it was made before YKW4, so changes in mechanics like this were harder to implement.

I feel this is prolly why we don’t got tribe songs anymore, which is a real pity. Like Shadowside the anime couldnt have them, cause the tribe system was literally still being invented as the show was made, and YKW4 the game couldnt have them because well, gotta stick to what the anime did.

But thats more a mechanics thing and isnt tied directly to the narrative.

For a narravtive example, the first episode is mostly told from Keisuke’s perspective, and while I don’t think that has to mean he was going to be the main character at some point, it did make it seem like there was at least the idea of more character development for him.

It made sense to start the series with him, since he has this outsider perspective, but it also sets him up as this easily frightened kid who denies the supernatural. So in the first episode, a major point for him is accepting the existence of yokai, partially through the help of his deceased friend, who has become a yokai.

The episode ends with him saying to himself “Yokai definitely exist, I know this because my best friend is one”.

And yet, immediately afterwards in the next episode, we see Keisuke trying to calm himself by singing “yokai dont exist at all”. Now, one could do something interesting here, like Keisuke fluctuating between what he wants to believe, and have some conflict with that, but

From that point on, all Keisuke ever does is be frightened as a running gag, like the once per episode rule is that he gets scared by the yokai of the week, and thats it. He gets one or two episodes, but even those dont do anything with his character.

In episode 1, Keisuke was a multi-faceted character who happened to be easily frightened and insecure. Every episode after that reduced him to the single trait of “scared”, which maybe a little bit of sass sometimes, but everyone is sassy in the YKW animes.

And then in the final episodes he gets the confidence to help out, but there isnt really much that causes it, outside of a speech from Junior, but in either case, like 50-ish episodes of 0 character focus doesn’t get undone by a tiny bit of focus at the end.

Adding to that, another interesting thing is that like, even though Bourei Banchou is literally his best friend, he never has any interaction with Keisuke again, really.

He gets summoned once in episode 5, where he is taken out in 1 hit with no lip service, and then he is summoned again in the finale as a bit of a nod, but there is no real character there.

What makes this interesting is that in merchandise, Bourei Banchou was actually shown to have a Lightside, Banchō, whom we even get to see some anime-style render of on some cards/stickers:

Considering the development of YKW4 was probably really early at this point (see the part about tribes) it’s unlikely they wouldn’ve created this design unless it was meant to be in the anime.

And when you look at him, he has very typical Yokai Watch sidekick look, doesnt he? So based on that I feel it’s likely that at some point, Banchō was meant to be Keisuke’s yokai partner, and be shown hanging around him and be an actual character and stuff.

But who knows.

One might say “well I don’t care about Keisuke, so I’m glad this didn’t happen” or something, which is a valid opinion to have, I’m just saying it seems obvious there was something dropped here.

Next we get the “Kaima” aspect. In episode 1, Fukurou’s dart hits a human which transforms him into a “Kaima”, which is what “Wicked Yokai” are called in Japanese, but the Japanese term has slightly different connotations, so…

Anyway, the question in hindsight is like: What the heck was that about?

This never happens again.

In episode 2 he hits the boy, but it doesn’t transform him, it shoots “evil” at Charlie the bike yokai, and Charlie turns bad.

After that he accidentally hits Jinta while trying to hit a human? And I think from that point on he either misses all the time or just hits the yokai directly.

And we never really get any explanation of what these darts even are, really.

Like, we know that supposedly it’s to look for the princess, but why?

Why does hitting humans and/or yokai with evil darts help?

One could assume make it’d awaken the Princess, but then why did he aim for what was clearly random punk jerks?

Did only Fukurou have those darts? If yes, how? And if yes, why was Shuten Douji not upset when Fukurou perished, at the very least over losing those darts?

Why did it only transform people in episode 1? In the very finale, we get people being transformed again, so I feel it maybe have at some point been tied to that, if they had a vague idea of what Soranaki was going to be yet.

But it’s clear there’s specific details that were meant to different.

Also, given what we learn later, why was Fukurou serving Shuten Douji, considering Shuten Douji’s main agenda is eventually revealed to be tied to restoring the power of the Oni Tribe, which Fukurou is not a member of.

It’s not like Shuten Douji has countless minions, he just as Douketstu and Fukurou, so I really gotta wonder why the latter is there.

Lastly a bit about Junior.

Now, Junior does not appear in the first episode, so this has less to do with Hino’s writing in particular, but I still think there might’ve been different intentions for Junior originally.

In the show itself, Junior is eventually revealed to have been born from pieces of Jibanyan’s body, and that’s really it. Despite this reveal, Junior doesn’t even get any major interactions with Jibanyan.

That in itself kinda feels to me like the anime writers didn’t have much of an idea of what to do with Junior, like they do with most characters.

And in any case, I really do think that originally, at some point in the production, Junior was meant to be born from Jibanyan and Whisper.

I’m not saying he was meant to be their literal baby, but I think he was probably meant to have been created in a similar manner to the show, but with parts of Whisper involved as well.

I mean, Junior’s design invokes traits of Jibanyan and Whisper alike in such a way that I have a really hard time to believe this wasn’t the intention at first.

There’s another reason I believe this, too.

Before Shadowside the anime was out, Hino showed of some early art during an “Inazuma Walker” stream, which mostly focused on Inazuma Eleven, but has some other stuff, too.

When Junior was shown, his co-host jokingly said “Well, everyone can tell this the child of Whisper and Jibanyan”, to which Hino replied “Um, it’s a bit different.”

While Hino does say that “it’s a bit different”, I also feel the co-host probably wouldn’t have made the “it’s Whisper’s and Jibanyan’s kid” joke unless there was a bit of truth to it?

But this is only speculation on my part again, I could be wrong.

Regardless of what Junior’s origin was going to be, we can also see early teasers of YKW4 showing him next to Natsume, almost like a counterpart to Whisper&Jibanyan for Nate, and Nekomata for Shin.

This makes me think that earlier on, Junior was possibly intended as Natsume’s main yokai “sidekick” or at least one of them, possibly fulfilling a role to her that would be similar to Whisper and especially OG Jibanyan.

But in the final product in both Shadowside and YKW4, Junior is more of a tag along, who doesn’t have a particular bond with any of the human characters.

Alright, those were just some of my thoughts, I hope this is what you were asking about?

Note that I have no idea what the behind-the-scenes of YKW looks like, this is just speculation. And even if I was right, that doesn’t mean any of this was done “behind Hino’s back” or the like. Even when he’s not writing directly, he could still be approving of any change, as far as I know.

To me it just personally felt like the anime writers couldn’t, or didn’t want to, follow up with some of the set-ups Hino made, not just story-wise, but especially characterization-wise.
