While in bed with Selina, Bruce will occasionally repeat his infamous “Quiet or Pappa spank” line. Selina doesn’t like to admit it, but she likes it.

FINALLY. FINISHED. Been working on this since episode 78 happened live, so I am happy to finally get it off my plate. Thank you Patreon for putting up with the WIPs of this one!

There IS a NSFW version. As you can see, Vex’s hair makes a fantastic sort of censor bar. You can find the NSFW version on my NSFW tumblr. (If you don’t know the username, please message me off anon and be 18+ years old. I can shoot you a direct link.)

(And so I hopefully don’t have to explain it too many times, Percy’s left arm has Lichtenberg scarring caused by Diplomacy, and his right arm has scarring caused by Animus misfires.)

You are a devout Paladin trying to prevent the resurrection of a dark goddess. Ultimately you fail. When the goddess awakens, she claims that she doesn’t know who she is or what has happened. After a few days you’re struggling to determine if she actually has amnesia or if she is just lying.

I’d argue that Yoda’s wording implied that the Rule of Two was known to have lasted longer than a generation. Legends material does feature Jedi Shadows, who’s job was to track and kill Sith survivors, but a lot of that was discounted from canon after the Disney buy out. I also meant to suggest that one or both might not have known in that moment, but discovered hidden documentation in council only holocron after Qui-Gon left, but wasn’t sure how to word it.

Do the Jedi know more then they’re letting on?

I’d like to talk about a theory I’ve been working on, regarding Jedi secrets.

I’m sure you all remember Qui-Gon Jinn getting attacked by a clearly lightsaber trained assassin, identified to the audience by that point as Darth Maul.

And presenting his (correct) theory to the Jedi High Council, upon returning to the temple on Coruscant.

At first they dismiss it, because the Sith, as noted by Ki-Adi-Mundi, AKA Jedi Master Potato-Head, the Sith were supposedly wiped out during a war a thousand years earlier. Sadly, they are forced to conclude that Jinn’s theory was correct, after his death.

Now here’s where things get sus. During the funeral, Yoda notes that there are always two Sith. Now at the time, this likely just meant that at their height, this Sith operated in master and apprentice piers, same as the Jedi. But then, as the Sith were fleshed out in expanded materials, we lead that Yoda was referring to the Rule of Two.

Established by Darth Bane, the last surviving Sith, established the Rule of Two moving forward, in order to prevent the in-fighting that hampered the Sith’s efforts against the Jedi, as well as take advantage of it, with a focus on quality over quantity.

The Rule of Two states that there shall only ever be two Sith at a time. A master and a single apprentice, who will only become a master themselves when they’re able to kill their predecessor, and then take on an apprentice of their own.

Admittedly, a few Sith Masters (most notably Palpatine/Darth Sidious) have bent this rule by training Sith Assassins, Acolytes, and Inquisitors to serve as manpower and as candidates for the next apprentice, but the Rule of Two has served as doctrine for the Sith for the last millennium.

Now the problem here is that Bane was a survivor of the aforementioned war, and therefore established the Rule of Two after the point where the Jedi believe that the Sith were driven to extinction.

So, how the hell do they know about it?!

To return to the council meeting, you’ll note that Jedi Master Potato Head-Head is the only one who outright dismisses the possibility. Mace Windu is skeptical, not of their survival, but of them returning (or becoming active again) without the Jedi noticing, while Yoda initially stays silent, before countering that the dark side might be easier to miss than Windu believes.

My theory, this isn’t the first time the Jedi have encountered the Sith in the last thousand years. Even if we assume that the Rule of Two cycle was carried out two to three times a century, that’s still between twenty and thirty Sith masters, and who knows how many failed apprentices like Maul. What are the odds that none of them had a run in with the Jedi, in all that time, that didn’t leave a Jedi survivor? What are the odds that no masters tried to corrupt a Jedi into becoming their apprentice and failed, alerting the Jedi?

Windu and Yoda are the Master of the Order and Grandmaster, respectively, which are basically the two highest positions it’s possible to reach in the Order. If anyone’s going to have access to the secrets that the Jedi Order has chosen to suppress, even from the other council members, it’s them, especially given Yoda’s long lifespan, he likely had a few firsthand experiences.

There’s been a greater examination of the Jedi’s failings and poor decisions in recent years, so their making an active effort to suppress knowledge of Sith survivors could be a prime example of a long standing example.

So basically, Demona and the Canmore family?

A family has been trying and failing to kill you, an immortal, for many generations. In fact, it’s been going on for so long you forgot why they started hunting you in the first place.

The fact that the question that lead to them making the deal about the any time personal question was Persephone asking Hades why he wasn’t married, and that Hades is finally using his any time personal question to ask her to be his wife…perhaps I WILL become a puddle of emotions on the floor

Could there be some subtle foreshadowing in our favourite slime anime that isn’t getting enough credit?

So I recently decided to do a rewatch of That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime, and I noticed a couple instances of foreshadowing that I completely missed previously, even though it’s like my tenth time watching it. The first of these is a spoiler for anime only fans who haven’t read the light novel, and the second spoils a big reveal from season two, so be warned.

The first of these has to do with the vision of Rimuru’s “fated one” by the fortune teller at the Night Butterfly bar in Dwargon. This character and her prediction did not appear in the Web Novel, nor the Light Novel, and appeared for the first time in the Manga, where it looked like this:

But the real genius came when it was adapted for the anime.

Notice that in this version, we start with a wide shot of the kids with Shizue, who we’re led to believe is the Fated One in question, which would makes sense given that the vision ends with a close up of her face, and the events of the very next arc. But take a closer look at it’s beginning. Notice who’s at the Center of the wide shot? Chloe! And it’s Chloe’s face that we first see clearly as it cuts to her as she hugs Shizue. The vision then pans over the faces of the other kids: Alice, Gale, Ryota, and Kenya. Only then do we get a good look at Shizue’s face which is where the vision ends.

Given Chloe’s fate to become the strongest hero, and Rimuru’s becoming a Demon Lord, both of which are functionally immortal, and tend to lead to intertwining destinies, this might have been a subtle indication that Rimuru’s true “fated one” is not Shizue, but Chloe Aubert.

The second case I noticed has to do with the dynamic with “Kaval’s” Party. Although Kaval is presented as the leader, Eren seems to be the one most often acting in the role, making decisions for the party with Kaval following them while reminding her that he’s the leader.

In fact “I’m the leader, remember?” or “I’m supposed to be the leader!” become something of a catchphrase for Kaval, usually spoken to Eren.

On a casual viewing, this could just be a sign of how casual the party’s dynamic is, showing that they’re friends first and a party second. But given what we learn about them later, it means something entirely different. The reason Eren acts like the leader sometimes is because…she is. Kaval is only the leader on paper.

Eren, or Elyun Grimwald, is a member of the royal family of the Sorcerer's Dynasty Sarion, a higher station then Kaval or Gido, who are actually her body guards. Kaval is acting as the leader of the party publicly to better hide her identity. When he reminds her that he’s the leader, he’s not lamenting the disrespect, as we’re meant to assume at this stage. He’s reminding her of the roles that they’re supposed to be playing.

This is also seen in how protective the pair are of Eren.

Twice during the battle against Ifrit they moved to shield Eren form potential harm, prioritising her safety over their own. This could be read as the sturdier members of a party covering for the physically weaker mage, or as two loyal soldiers guarding their princess from harm.

Anyone spot any more foreshadowing?

Ok, it just hit me that Buddy Pine has blonde hair as Incrediboy,

But has red hair as Syndrome.

Do we think he was bleaching his hair as a child to look more like Mr. Incredible, or did he dye it as an adult to look less like him?
