New discourse: it's actually predatory to date someone with a different star sign than you, because the differences in your personalities means you'll never be able to have exactly the same life experiences, thus leaving a knowledge and power gap between the two of you which will inevitably lead to an abusive relationship!

also if you're a Sag and you're dating a Taurus, that means you're secretly seeking a May-December relationship, which is age gap coded!

*SIGHS*

Another AO3 app that's pretending to be official when it's not (or at least isn't making it clear its unofficial.) They're using AO3's name and logo, and embedding ads.

There is no official AO3 app

Someone else is gathering your data, potentially your log in information etc and making use of it how they please. (They say they're not but their privacy policy says otherwise)

They are making money from the ads without the fic writer's consent.

They've also rated it Pegi 3 (which is ludicrous)

Please, even if you care about nothing else, for the safety of your data, please don't use this app. Certainly don't give it your AO3 log in details.

I've told AO3 that it's infringing on its copyright. I will be requesting they remove access of my work as I do not consent to my creative content being used to generate ad revenue for them.

I will be reporting it as incorrectly rated.

The only email address I can find is [email protected] which is included in their privacy policy, and [email protected] as their developer.

29udon is at it again and translated all of Yuu's mgs. You'll need to turn on youtube's own CC to see his translations!

I do want to note that in the comments he says that, "I prioritized speed because I thought many people would want to know the content first." Some folks are saying it's a little rough, but I think it's mostly okay or at the very least, understandable. It's better than auto translate basically.

As soon as Yuu was released the first thing i did was to listen to her voice lines, not only because of who is voicing her (the Sailor Moon!!) but because i was very curious as to what sort of dimension her voice would add to her character.

And it's particularly interesting the way that her voice sells how... empty she is, like not only in that losing her memories destroyed her sense of self and her morality (like i had initially expected), but in that she doesn't seem to have a firm grasp of anything beyond the ideas of "Yuu", Shii, the list, Magical Girls and Witches. Like, it's like she doesn't even know what being a human even is.

That much is obvious just in the way she speaks, like she keeps switching back and forth between multiple voices and running over her own words, like she speaks out of muscle memory and can't control the sounds that her mouth makes. But also, some of the stuff she says is... concerning, here's a few lines:

(I got these from her F*ndom quotes page i didn't know where else to find them)

"We're together today too... is that the same as yesterday? Does that mean tomorrow's gonna be the same!? And two days ago too? I guess after tomorrow too... wait so even today too!?"

From her first login, notice how by the end of the sentence she forgot about whay she said at the start completely. Also it's hard to convey through written text but, not only her sense of object and spacial permanence is nonexistent, she seems to genuinely have a hard time undertanding the concept of time:

"Did you just say good morning? Oh that must mean it's morning nowiseewaitdid i... did i sleep? I'm bummed... no i'm not, aha! Morning!"

Her morning login.

"Did you just tell me good night...? 'Good night' is what you say when you're done for the day!? So if we keep repeating 'good night' forever, can we stop tomorrow from coming...?"

Her night login

A couple of her lines showing her extremely short memory, and how it affects her fundamental understanding of things:

"Man, i'm so hungry... WAIT! I think i was just full...! Which was it! Doesn't it really suck how you can never tell what's inside of your tummy?"

Noon login.

"Sorry! I...! What was i thinking about? Do you know? Can you tell me? What a bummer, what a bummer... Wait, what was i bummed about?"

Her standard login (honestly same).

"I gotta get goinghmm...? Where was i going again?"

Story end 3

"If your arms or your legs get really old, then why not just rip 'em off? It's gonna grow new ones so it's okay, here, lemme help you!"

Tap 4.

"Nagisa-chan loves cheese, meanwhile i have 'someone'... 'someone' is me! So don't forget about cheese and 'someone' even when tomorrow comes, alright?"

Magical release 1

"Y'see, ghosts only come from the past, they don't be coming from the future! So why... can i only go to tomorrow?"

Magical release 2

Also this one is just, man...

"No matter how many times time turns back, i'll keep doing the same thing! 'Cause i don't wanna pretend that all the times i messed up and all the times i was sad weren't real!"

Tap 8

It's also extremely unnerving how genuinely childlike and innocent her "main", higher pitched voice is, like i can't explain why but it really sells that she does what she does all because she genuinely doesn't know any other way to live, not least because it seems she wholeheartedly doesn't seem to be able to think beyond the current moment, like she just goes with the flow of time without having anything to ground herself on.

I think that, while having a fully fledged design added to her "inhuman" factor in a creepy manner, like, compounding to the idea of this beastly Magical Girl that rips people's organs off, her voice made her "inhuman" in a much crueler and sad way, in that it served to illustrate that she is the way she is because it's quite literally the only way of living that she knows.

None of you will understand how much this line means to me the raw energy of this line now that we KNOW what Yuu looks like...

the fucking ETHOS. Do you see that smile, next to Nagisas dull eyes, you can clearly tell, Yuu has no idea what she has done is wrong, in fact she things throught the entire rerun that she is in the RIGHT. It feels so different now that Yuu has...a face? You can almost feel her cheerfulness, her joy sharing that she will lways support nagisa, always being by her side, Despite us knowing this only makes Nagisa witch out Nagisa says before, she wants her mom to die, because she didn't wish her illness away, And Yuu took that, Without realizing what she did, Only to say shes by her side Its pain staking to see! But thats what i love about Yuu! The cheerful pain, because we know what happens next, It makes me think of beachside bonds too, Yuu saying she will be by Nagisa side, only for Nagisa to witch out... making Yus statement false. How many times has this happened? How many times has Yu unknowingly said this lie?

Event: Nagisa's Wish [Updated]

Translation Credits: Official NA server

Recording/Editing: Vivi

Here's the updated video of Nagisa's Wish with Yuu's new Live2D! If you want to see her in motion specifically, she appears around the twenty-two minute mark.

If you want to compare videos, you can watch the old version on my youtube channel here.

Rewatching the Nagisa event, and something that struck me is that Yuu's list of bad guys (we now know who writes the list-- it's Xii/Shii) isn't "wrong." As in, it'd be easy to make it so that Yuu was killing a list of bad people who weren't actually bad at all, but just put down there for the interest of the writer. Like, "kill this person because I don't like them" (and then lie to Yuu that the person is bad).

But the people that we see Yuu go after are Nagisa's mother (who is abusing her) and Sho, who is abusing Inui. It's possible that there are other people on the list that aren't bad, but for now those are the two prominent examples that we see.

What makes it interesting though is that the two victims of those bad guys don't want them to die. In fact, both of the victims' lives get worse once their respective person dies. Both girls (Inui and Nagisa) turn into witches right after.

I just thought that was pretty interesting. Obviously we know very little about Shii/Xii at the moment, so it's unclear if this list is to only punish bad people or if it's purpose is to try and help the victims. If it's just punishing the "bad guys" then it's doing it's job I guess-- but if it's to help the victims, it's made everything so much worse for them.

I really like that. It's easy to get caught up in outrage and punishment and to avoid actually helping people, even if that's the emotion you initially start out with. I don't know why humanity is this way, but we tend to prefer hurting "the bad guy" over helping the victim.

That's not to say that bad people don't deserve punishment, but that if you're doing something with the intention to help someone, you should lead with that instead. Helping people isn't easy, especially when they don't know they need it or don't want that help right away-- but it's what we should all strive for, unless we become just another monster whose foot steps on them.
