This has probably been said already but can I just say how interesting it is that both Phoenix and Apollo's debut games are structured the same way in terms of "protagonist is not the main character." Of course Phoenix and Apollo are the protagonists in their respective games, but they aren't the main character.

In aa1, Miles Edgeworth is the main character, and the overarching story revolves around him. Phoenix drives the plot, but Edgeworth is the focal point of the narrative. Sure, Phoenix's story as a rookie lawyer is there, but aa1 heavily centralizes on Miles' history and growing character development.

In the same fashion, aa4 is not centered around Apollo, but instead focuses on Phoenix's story about the Enigmar trial and exposing Kristoph. Apollo is quite literally the vessel used to drive the plot, as Phoenix uses him to act on his plans. The narrative is focal on Phoenix, Kristoph, and the events that led to the time of aa4 (+dark age of law).

They parallel each other in their respective games, and it's cool to see.

I'll say this in my reactions post but...

I love how Midoriya's mask makes his eyes look like All Might's. Especially since All Might's eyes like that are a reflection of him being a shell of what he used to be in his prime. Current Midoriya is well... a shell of himself. He's pushing himself and neglecting how others feel just as All Might did.

I love visual details like that.

I’m really hoping they do have a mentor-mentee relationship or at least something #akin to Yu and Teddie where Teddie just kinda calls him that lol

Something I love about Spider-Man as a character: even if there's no big villain to fight, he's still a hero.

On days when there's no crime at all, he's out helping someone carry their groceries or giving directions to someone who's lost. He doesn't need anything negative to fight; he's just actively trying to make the world a safer, kinder, better place. That's what makes him a hero.

#friendly neighborhood spider-man you know #where most other heroes are kind of the 'rise to the occasion' types #like 'the world is in danger I must battle the forces of evil' #spidey's just over here like: imma go do the best that I can to improve the world #no baddies necessary #peter parker #spider-man #thoughts #also not to be an irondad freak on main but #tony does a lot of good things in the world separate from fighting villains too #like holding orphaned babies and giving $ to college kids #and I love that about the two of them. I think they're brilliantly matched in the mcu as mentor and mentee #cough father and son cough #anyone who disagrees may die by my sword #queueueueue

#idk if this makes sense but complicated mentor-mentee relationships my absolute beloved #also i keep saying it but i'm so obsessed with how midst handles POV. i thought sherman was dead but that was just lark's perspective #and i loved not really knowing what to make of spahr for most of season one and then this episode #it's like oh obviously he and phineas are very similar bc the trust is horrible/he's probably training phineas how he was trained etc. #just. it's all SO GOOD. and now we're in the FOLD and LARK is here. i'm so excited #midst

"we all agree that there's no non-shippy explanation for this scene right" and it's literally one character calling another son/kid/bro/sis/any moniker typically used to signify platonic affection

#ppl can ship whatever they want i do not care but it's so infuriating when they claim it's universal when they pulled it out of their arses #this is specifically about the shit in my 'for you' tab about gotg3 #NO THE ARROW SCENE WAS NOT SHIPPY WHAT THE FCK ARE YOU ON ABOUT #yondu literally calls kraglin 'boy.' the scene is like lifted straight from the one where he tells peter to use his heart to defeat ego. #it's the same wording and everything. if the scene cementing yondu as peter's mentor is echoed with the arrow scene... #maybe it's about kraglin being yondu's mentee in the same way peter was???? #maybe bc kraglin's jealousy of yondu's parental love for peter is blatant subtext in gotg2?? bc kraglin isn't that much older than peter??? #'no other explanation' i can give you 10 of those. you can derive whatever interpretation you want from this but don't say it's the only on #gotg3 #kraglin obfonteri #yondu udonta #guardians of the galaxy vol.3 #peter quill

Mountain Miko on A03

Summary:

In a secluded mountain village run by a society of mysterious women, Kagome, a young initiate, embarks on a transformative journey under the mentorship of their highly esteemed miko, Kikyo

Prologue – A Dark Fairytale 

In the beginning, within a realm where ancient magic held sway, there once lived a man renowned for his ability to weave spells that brought good fortune to those willing to pay. His performances were nothing short of captivating spectacles, drawing in many who gasped in the grandeur of his rituals. Over time, growing more and more powerful by the day, his glittering magical displays began to draw in the curiosity of wealthy patrons far and wide. 

"How do you do it?"

"You need only to give voice to what you desire." 

Over the years the man turned sorcerer grew proud and prouder still, having forgotten what humble beginnings he crawled out of. He wore his wealth on his body, he adorned his beard with sickly sweet smelling oils and lined his fingers with ostentatious rings. In the era of spell making, the Sorcerer had made this life by his own hand...a hand in possession of a certain Jewel. A small nothing looking bead that was easy to miss even though it hung in plain sight. It's presence barely felt, barely a whisper, only a quiet gnawing at the bottom of his being. 

In the dark night, the heavy shadow of some blackguard, from some dying noble house, made its way to the Sorcerer with big news. A big problem that required a big idea. This truly fair and noble family was harboring a plot to unseat the current emperor and had come to him for help to remedy the issue. 

"What you ask is treason."

"What I ask is to entertain possibilities."

Truth be told; if they had the coin then it did not matter what the request was. He would entertain their hypocrisies. They can keep their dull innocence, keep their hands clean, while he did the unseemly. Though it was dangerous to play with this sort of magic, it's practically what it was there for. 

"What say you, Sorcerer?" 

...it has to be you.. only you could do it.. wish maker ..wishmaker.. wish-

A sinister alliance was forged that night, and he sought to orchestrate their rise to power through sinister rites. 

 His displays of enchantment evolved into bloody ceremonies with costly offerings, ranging from the most humble of creatures to majestic beasts. First a sparrow, a snake, a cat, a wolf to lions, tigers, and- it wasn't enough! To ensure their success, the sorcerer needed more potent sources of power, and he turned to darker methods. He began raiding graveyards for human bones, believing that spirits of the deceased would grant him greater strength. However, he soon realized that live human sacrifices to the Jewel would yield even stronger results. 

Of course! 

Yes, there was a war. 

There was an empty seat in an empty dank room. 

Once the new emperor assumed that cold throne for his own, he called for the Sorcerer to come join him at his royal court and to squat on the lap of luxury. That's what those savage acts were for.. but that damn cursed gnawing hunger never left. It wasn't enough. 

And then...Their paths crossed that fateful evening when he was summoned to perform before their Lord. This was it! Oh! His journey had led him to the fair maiden with black silk for hair. The Sorcerer's infatuation with the woman was relentless, an unquenchable burning within him. Her every word, her every glance, fueled this insatiable longing. He wanted her as his bride. 

But alas she did not want him for her heart belonged to-

It did not matter. He would take her.

In his desperation to possess her he believed that the Jewel, his divine potent resource, could make her love him. The Jewel, fatter still, fed on his fixation. He hated her. He loved her. He hated her. He loved her. The Jewel had never tasted something so sickly sweet. 

"You need only to give voice to what you desire." 

He wished for the woman.

In a final, frenzied act, he sought to give the Jewel a tangible form, giving it arms and legs in which to carry out the deed. Not as some caricature but as something living, with blood and bones. 

"..This flesh is your flesh, these hands your hands!"

At the altar, with great suffering, he relinquished what little was left of his human to the bloody pearl. This was the deep dark material in which miracles sprang forth. He would conjure heaven.. but in the morning there was nothing but the cold dank air, and ash. The fate of both he and the now missing maiden was shrouded in mystery. The ending to this story is always the same.

Now, the Jewel, revered and closely guarded, rests within the new emperor's grasp. It's true nature forgotten. Though the emperor may hold suspicions about the Sorcerer's demise, he chose to remain oblivious of the perils. The relic remained concealed, subject to constant study that often exacted a grim toll and a long list of names never to be spoken of. The Jewel passes from one ruler to the next, as an heirloom of both great power and who's hunger continues to shape the endless road of petty human conflict. 

And we exist in its consequence.   

Many generations pass and eventually the one named Midoriko is born.

do you think carpenter has had any time to think about how faulkner killed the maybe-sort-of-uncle(ish) who brought her back to her faith? do you think carpenter, of all the people in this podcast, misses mason the most? not....a lot, because of....well, reasons too numerous to name, but once she's had the chance to breathe and sleep and eat a couple half-burnt pancakes, do you think she realizes that literally no one else alive remembers when she was eighteen and carried a knife just in case; when she was twenty-two and high on the thrill of being in same room as the gulfwalker; when she was twenty-six and went to him, begged him, and he didn't ask why her new partner needed to be reassigned, just pursed his lips and reassigned him. they never even really talked about their lives outside of the parish. he tried to manipulate her, propel her to higher heights, but she wriggled out of those attempts; disappeared into the wilderness for months on end. she once tried to ask if he had---a wife, a child? family of any kind?---and in retaliation, he sent her to the other end of the peninsula for six months, chasing a lead that might have been entirely made up. probably by him.

mason was selfish and power-hungry, and definitely using her, and carpenter knew that---she knew it deep down from the start, and then later with a kind of weary acceptance. she knew. but he knew her too, and until she got assigned to a recent convert with just a little bit (a lot bit) of hunger and madness in his eyes....mason was the only one who did.

#I had another terrible date so here is a silt verses headcanon. #I miss mason and I think that him and carpenter having a very complicated mentor/mentee relationship #where he tried to make her his tool and successor and she resisted every attempt #while simultaneously not quite being able to leave #is a good and interesting thing and I would like to think about it more. #anyway I just like pondering how carpenter gathers the most dysfunctional family around her at all times #it's nice. soothes me. #the silt verses

En was killed by being cut in half by AFO. It wasn't that he couldn't handle OFA, but that AFO just decided to nuke him

All Might says using One For All with an untrained body would make your limbs fly off. But

This isn't his limbs? Yes, that's his arm, but that's HALF OF HIS BODY

Yes, there's also the argument he could've used it on his whole body and that's the consequence but there is a small cut on his thumb. It matches the line in which he was cut in half, and blood spurts from his hand.

The translation hides it, but his thumb got cut too from the slice. His thumb wasn't the focus, but still got hit. It at least shows when En passes on OFA to Nana

Since Banjo's arms got wrecked by using OFA, maybe En used it in one leg and that's why his leg is differently-colored and looks more beat up. En probably couldn't handle the Quirk either.

This means that En was being logical and saw OFA as a tool, and only used it in a leg so he could run.

All Might specifically says an unprepared vessel's limbs will fly off. Even if En used it on his whole body, that means only his arms and legs; but that's his torso. His leg didn't go flying either; at least until they both went flying cuz he was severed.

#i hc en died at 19 #en lived at the same time as nana banjo gran torino and shinomori. all might probably too #and since banjo having OFA would be around the time society is picking itself up and creating rules (18 years after kudo and bruce) #i think of en as being in one of the first ever batches of Pro Heroes #and Banjo being a vigilante who then became one of the very few allowed to be a Pro Hero #which is why En is his junior (Banjo refers to him as his kouhai) #UA existed when All Might was 15 so its not much of a stretch to think En couldve been a hero course student #gran torino was a vigilante who became a hero just to teach All Might. he literally says this too #or maybe banjo never became a pro hero #which is more fun: law-breaking vigilante mentor and law-abiding pro hero mentee #en tayutai #banjo daigoro #bnha #mha #boku no hero academia #my hero academia #spoilers #ofa #one for all #an older draft #clearin my drafts so some stuff is queued up like this
