Step By Step Ep 11 Stray Thoughts

Last week on HR Violations, Chot got Pat together about respecting people's feelings, and then received news that his fiancé is finally taking him home to see the parents after eight years in a beautiful scene worthy of Bruce. Pat confessed to Jeng with a gross carrot cake, but Jeng was checked out of most responsibility all episode. Rumors started to already at work, Jeng waffled, and now Pat has resigned. Also, Ae and Khanun got married, and she gave Beam closure.

See, and this is why I felt the need to write last week. Rumors about Jeng end with him cornered in a meeting where executives tear him apart as his dad looks on. Even rumors that he's queer have cost this company money.

This is gross. They're worried about Fjord, who just hired them to use BL to sell their gas stations. This is what we're talking about with the underlying commentary in this show. The wealth class only wants marketable gays. Jeng is not allowed to be gay because of his position.

Jeng's dad has always known.

Not them using the gate as a barrier!!

It does make me really sad that Jeng has to admit that he can't protect Pat from any of this, because his judgement has been clouded. It's also sad that Pat had to do something drastic to force them to face this situation.

Oh, the hands fiends are gonna lose their minds this week.

Crying because they're all finally a team and Pat and Jeng aren't alone. Chot said, "Don't look at me like that. They have eyes!"

Oh my god a SWOT analysis.

So Put posted that picture huh?

Why does everyone have these loud conversations with the doors open?

I'm glad Pat finally handled Put, because dude needs to do his goddamn job.

SPIES AND THIEVES!!! Toh was the traitor all along!

We called it on Jeng holding the duties of heir so Jaab wouldn't be required to.

Ben and Saint have good scene chemistry.

Time for an Oishii ad break.

Okay, I love the office team. I don't mind Ying being a BL writer at all. I am enjoying everyone yelling.

Put and his conditions.

Hey, Put came through for them!

These hoes ain't loyal! Jeng bought their loyalty from Pat with a single meal!!!

Ope. Jen went all the way to Japan. The disappointments keep on coming.

Pat, that is clearly your father in a bad wig. What are you going to do with a broom?

We don't get gay boys and their dads that often. This is nice, even if the scene is a bit sad because the dad is foreshadowing the base conflict Pat and Jeng are facing.

The president is ruthless, and Jeng fell right into that trap when he used his own money for ads.

Pat isn't wrong. He can't stay here if his skills are always going to be in doubt.

Well, there's our breakup.

Okay! So Pat is going to work with Put for the next two years? This final episode is going to be messy. Still, I am enjoying this. Pat only seems to thrive in small teams. There's something to be said about how some of us just don't fit into corporate environments.

LGBTQ Light Novel Review — I'm in Love with the Villainess

A stunningly profound, entertaining, and queer title that eclipses other isekai and Yuri series

There are few titles the general public seems to be as excited about as Inori and Hanagata's I'm in Love with the Villainess, as it has been sitting at or near the top of Amazon's LGBT Manga list for months and Twitter is consistently abuzz with the latest news on this isekai Yuri series. I was somewhat more skeptical, as I have had relatively poor experiences with isekai and fantasy Yuri. Still, my excitement went through the room, and I eagerly boarded the "hype train" upon the cover reveal for the third volume. Yuri families, where two women raise children together, are one of my greatest desires and something I rarely see portrayed in the genre. However, I still had mostly low expectations for the series going into the first volume. I looked forward to some light meandering comedy and typical boring trope-filled isekai shenanigans. However, I'm in Love with the Villainess more than exceeded my expectations. No, even this statement is far too moderate to describe how utterly stunned and blown away I was by Inori's creation. I'm in Love with the Villainess is completely shattering and easily one of the greatest light novels I have ever read. Thus, I have no choice to award a perfect 10/10 score, my first ever for a light novel.

After waking up in the world of her favorite otome game, Revolution, protagonist Rae is ecstatic to be faced to face with Claire Francois, the game's villainous rival. However, Rae never played Revolution for the thrill of romancing any of the three attractive young princes. She was always in love with Claire. She attends the academy and studies magic in the fantasy world alongside Claire, the princes, and various other supporting characters. Using her skills from the modern world and her encyclopedic knowledge of Revolution, Rae manipulates the situation to be close to Claire, becoming her maid, and garnering status and money along the way. As an inevitable conflict looms closer, Rea begins to enact plans to protect herself and Claire, many of which are not fully understood or explained until the finale fantastically reveals the reasons for her actions. There is a natural and steady pace to the narrative that awards readers’ predictions and attention to detail.

I'm in Love with the Villainess has some excellent supporting characters, all of whom have unique personalities, histories, and abilities, some of which are revealed by Rae's exposition and others naturally throughout the novel. However, the stars of the show are the central couple, Rae and Claire. Claire is an elite aristocrat and extremely bratty. She often sneers at commoners and makes her disdain of Rae very clear from early on. On paper, she sounds like the perfect villain and someone all readers would despise. However, Rae's utter devotion and infatuation with Claire is so sincere that we cannot help but be pulled in and adore Claire and all her tantrums. Rae is a delight herself, continually flirting and poking fun at Claire, which gets her verbally berated, much to her masochistic pleasure. However, she is also exceptionally cunning and intelligent, and some of the light novel's greatest joys are listening to her analyze a situation or watching one of her plans fall into place.

“Ah, I’m… Well, it doesn’t matter. I mean, it’s irrelevant to cuteness—because, Miss Claire, you are cute.” “Huh?!” She pulled away. It was perfect—such a pure reaction. “Miss Claire, you hate me, right?” “Of course!” “That’s fine. Please keep teasing me. I love it.”

The beginning of the book does not immediately clue one into its brilliance. Sure, Claire and Rea get some great one-liners as they bully each other, and the scenarios are authentic and fun, but it is nothing shattering. I was feeling pretty relaxed and having a lot of fun with the characters, their relationship, and the various slice-of-life style scenarios they encountered until one section, I remember the exact page, 81, as it stopped me dead in my tracks. I was flabbergasted and briefly frozen before shooting up out of bed, shouting expletives as I ran to my office to immediately record what I had just experienced. It all begins with the line, "Hey, Rae. Are you what they call gay?" What followed was one of the most thoughtful, condensed, informative, and nuanced discussions of gay and queer identity (both terms used in this scene) I have ever seen in Yuri. Everything from representation in media, the perceptions of and prejudices against gay people, and the role gender plays in romance for bisexual and gay people are analyzed. Its commentary is succinct yet so respectful and forthright that it could have only come from genuine experience, thus selling the book and its characters so much more.

"Queer people were still overwhelmingly closeted in this world, which was rife with prejudice and nurtured little understanding. As I noted, the queer people depicted in the story were either the sex fiends Claire imagined or the free-loving sort Lene had in mind. Diversity and acceptance were a long way off.”

Thus, Inori's writing's beauty exposed itself, and the book opened itself up to a delightful cycle. The narrative masterfully integrates isekai slice-of-life hijinks, like running a cross-dressing café or battling a giant slime with nuanced and challenging moments that dissect complicated topics. The latter mainly consists of a growing rift between the aristocracy and common people, mirroring real-world wealth gap issues, but the novel also touch on matters such as unequal prison sentencing and segregation. Every scene helped further the complexity of the characters and their relationships or else built onto the world of Revolution. Speaking of which, I'm in Love with the Villainess has some of the best worldbuilding ever seen in a light novel.

Initially, brief exposition establishes much of the world, which is adequate if not exciting. I will mark up to a casualty of the light novel's serialized nature, as it must present readers its setting immediately. However, Inori does not stop here. Through the narrative, new elements are established, such as a magic system and the kingdom's politics. Rea notes and describes how the world, while clearly based on medieval Europe, has many modern Japanese attributes, as Japanese game developers created it. Her pointing out the intersection of the two is fascinating. Furthermore, A great deal of time is spent establishing characters and organizations all have their own wants, agendas, and methods, many of which are not even directly involved with the story. Instead, they act as a background and help further contextualize others. For example, the Church publicly appears to lean towards supporting the commoners in their efforts for equality but has its own agenda of superseding the nobility. While they play little role in Rea and Claire’s adventure, they are one of numerous factors contributing to the unrest of the lower class. All these additions are interesting, and it never feels like the story or characters suffer for their inclusion, quite the opposite.

“The Bauer Kingdom had started a step behind other countries when it came to magical research. They dominated the surrounding countries in military strength, and this had made them complacent, leading them to underestimate the value of new magic technology until the best researchers had all been enticed to other countries. Even after the king came up with his magic-focused meritocratic policy, Bauer lagged behind.”

I can only make complaints by scraping the very bottom of the barrel. Hanagata's beautiful art is too infrequent to add much to the light novel, and many scenes crying for illustrations are left to the readers' imagination. However, Inori so wonderful writes the story that one hardly cares and can easily picture every moment with delight. Besides, the manga adaption will nullify this issue. Where I cannot complain at all is the spectacular translation by Jenn Yamazaki and Nibedita Sen, one of Seven Seas best (which is high praise considering the competition). Sure, I was slightly disappointed at first to see the adaptation left off honorifics, but the more I thought about the setting, the more sense it made. I am sure people much smarter than I gave the issue much more consideration, and I am happy with their decisions.

I'm in Love with the Villainess left me reeling with how pleasurable and powerful it was. The story and characters are such a joy, and I cannot wait to see Rea and Claire bully each other again in the next volume. Astounding worldbuilding and powerful, thought-provoking politics surround their antics and the high stakes plot. Every moment of their journey will enthrall readers as they squeal with glee at its hilarious set pieces or are shocked by its commentary of society's most significant challenges. Inori has created one of the most delightful, heartfelt, complex, profound, and genuinely queer light novel series ever. If you only read one thing I recommend this year, let it be I'm in Love with the Villainess.

An uninvited guest: A drabble

(So this was just a quick little drabble that I wrote. Unfortunately, his quotes I got from Mario Wiki because I wanted to keep him in character. Please let me know what you think and I'm slowly getting back into writing. I'm probably going to have King Boo based on how I will think he will be, so please respect that.)

"UGH! That's it! I'm sick to double death of you! You want to fight me? FINE! Let's go! This is the end for you, once and for all! HERE I COME!"

The commanding spectral voice belonged to none other than the master of illusions himself, King Boo. He thought his day couldn't get any worse but fate had ways of proving him wrong. Today was the anniversary of his capture at that meddlesome green plumber Luigi, with not only the memories resurfacing but he also had to contend with assassins sent by the mushroom kingdom to end his ghostly rampage and all the trouble he caused Luigi no doubt!

He was currently confronting one such invader in the middle of his private quarters. The ivory moon being the only light cast through the window onto the enemy revealing them to be male clad in all black, wearing a piece of cloth over their mouth and nose, their fern hued eyes seemingly narrowed in concentration.

"You?! I might have known. Just what I need, some fool who ain't afraid of a ghost! My little Boos came crying to me about you... Outrageous!"

"I'd rather go up against someone who's scared of ghosts though! Hee hee hee!"

His tone light but still carrying hints of a threat, trying to lighten the mood. His little fiends had indeed let him know of this particular intrusion and the possible power seeming to come off him waves. The King of the paranormal was about to witness that fated power as his adversary narrowed his eyes and bunched their muscles to leap into attack.

I clicked record and started the game because "Why not just post the intro cutscene" meanwhile forgetting that Yakuza likes to be lengthy at the start lol.

45 minutes later and I'm not showing that, here's just tiny screencaps of the moments that made me audibly chime in.

"OH MY GOD, AMAZING, BABY, KIRYU YOU AMAZING DAD SHAPED FIEND"

"Making me cry about Yakuza 5 again ;-;"

"EVERY TIME WITH YOU, SAEJIMA. At some point just stop going to prison because it doesn't work out for you."

"She never was, Kiryu! YOU DOLT! YOU DENSE IDIOT- always with the self sacrifice no one expects or needs from you! Stop it!"

Also

"They shaved his head again." - something that makes sense because obviously they would.

":( Unfair, horrendous, monstrous, hate it. All said, Haruka doesn't deserve this weight on her and I feel terrible."

She then decides to leave and I screamed about her being just as dense as her dad, she learned from a dolt, NO, STOP, DON'T, I love them.

"MY MAN!" I was excited that Akiyama still drinks with the homeless :)

And here's 50% of the setup, that being that four mean dudes lit Little Asia on fire and are talking about this being the beginning of a beautiful bad guy plan and I'm down.

The other 50% being Haruka went missing a year ago after leaving home to atone for sins she didn't commit because she learned from Kiryu- the self flagellation expert. I am bagging on them but it's in jest- I am specifying that because I feel like someone unfamiliar would assume I just don't respect either of them, that's the opposite of the truth, but I'm 6 games in and bagging on Kiryu's insane levels of honor putting him through hell he doesn't deserve (but will argue otherwise) while Haruka follows in his footsteps when again, she doesn't deserve it either- both characters have good reason to believe what they do- and I'm playfully bagging on them because they deserve better.

Was this over explained to prevent misunderstandings on a post I made for myself? Yea.

To many people, Xanda is just a nickname, to me it isn't, I just have to respect that. To some people, it's a pet name, like if they want me to do something and they want me to say yes, then they'll call me Xanda (fuck you Samuel btw ((bruh doesn't even recognize or acknowledge that i almost always called him samuel when i was talking to him)damn triple parentheses) for doing nothing but taking full advantage of that, especially when it comes to nic, i've made these two pods last me like a while, and im just supposed to say yes whenever you're fiending) (i do the same fucking shit when it's not at my place, so i kinda get that, but i'm still gonna bitch and moan about it)

(the worst part is when people take advantage of it) i'm not a "poser", i'm just having a hard time figuring out exactly who i am, and what my interests are. I also have to respect the fact that people are literally treating me like a friggin dog, and i'm like bruh, no thanks. ( are they really assuming that i'm learning how to fake cry?) People also think that i'm using actual real life people as "characters" to portray myself, like homie, nah, that ain't how it goes. any time i've put the label of relationship with something, it's done nothing but crash and burn in the end. in my eyes, me calling something a relationship is just a way for the significant other to use me to their full advantage, and then toss me away when they're done. like bruh that shits fuckin scary as hell, i'm not willingly going to put myself in that position again, like ever. i also understand it's my responsibility to not do that myself, that's a not good thing to do. Id rather be full of myself and self aware than actually listen to the things people say about me, or whatever it is i'm assuming or whatever the fuck i'm doing. i know people are talking mad shit about me behind my back. that's the worst part. i'm not going to bother anyone or reach out if i assume you have this negative perception of me, why would i waste my time trying to do that? i have nothing to prove, at the very least. The Hoe Phase is over, and i'm not even like "actively " tryin to find "bitches", I idolize the Goons, but writing about them all the time is probably not a good thing, that's what being "obsessive " means. The "Art Wall" wasn't just my art, it was art from old friends too, like "pre-COVID" friends there's personal things i don't want people to know, and now it feels like it's all out in the open for everyone to pry and make fun of. now there's background info i didn't want people knowing that i am absolutely both paranoid and terrified everyone knows the worst part is i'm not getting any clarification about it. Fuck "Bub", the gaslighting whore. But also, the entire interaction between us and Bub helped with the "Season Finale" of "The Hoe Phase", so at the very least that helped out a little bit. i'm not gonna let a group of people (don't worry, not The Goons) who think they know better gaslight me and manipulate me into doing their bidding. that's just FUCKED! LIKE THE FACT THAT IM SUPPOSED TO DO NOTHING AND JUST LET IT HAPPEN DRIVES ME ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NUTS! ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY DONT EVEN GIVE ME THE ROOM OR TIME TO EVEN THINK ON MY OWN, LIKE WTF, SLOW THE FUCK DOWN WITH THE QUESTIONS AND JUST GIVE ME TIME TO THINK Actually moving on is not something i am able to do very confidently. amaya was hard enough as is, and she's like my first proper relationship, maggie was difficult too, i'm too clingy, and at this moment, Leah is even harder to move on from. she was gonna break shit off because of the distance, and she told me goodbye. and that was a genuine real goodbye, yknow? that was the goodbye that was needed for us to have that extra push to stop doing "the hoe phase". if she was really hurt that way, then yeah, i really don't need to try to be in relationships.

(it was a stupid longboard anyways)

Conversation

Vinny: *listening to music*

Chris: *singsong* Knock knock.

Vinny: Oh, hi Vinny.

Chris: What are you up to, huh?

Vinny: Not much I’m just writing some music.

Chris: Cool. So I was thinking you’ve been making music for the last few months and I haven’t even heard any of it.

Vinny: Oh nah you don’t want to hear it-it’s stupid.

Chris: Come on why don’t you play me just one song? I want to hear what my pride and joy has been up to.

Vinny: I don’t know…are you sure?

Chris: I’m sure, just one song.

Vinny: Okay. *plays his music* Well let me start by saying I know I'm not all that. I found out I gotta get my mind straight before I can relax, I gotta bury the past and nothing will ever last so I'll stay making this cake. But there's a burning notion and a question everlasting. Are you doing what you're doing for the money or the passion?You don't know until the lights are flashing. Your name shining bright, every night, until your castle comes crashing. But what the fuck do I know? I have to carry around with me everywhere that I go, the crippling uncertainty that makes me think that I don't know what to do about this world, or for me who gets the girl, cause it doesn't feel right to go along and sing songs for all the wrong reasons, but it's killing season for me and every single person like me, who knows what they think they could or might be. Man I just hope they like me. Never felt so empty in a brand new Bentley. Stuck here wondering if they really love me, or they resent me but what I know is that you fuckers respect me, not to test me for loyalty, I'm royalty. Eradication of a generation of rappers that I'm tryna get rid of you'll have me instead of the little bit of a situation. That'll keep me considered the literal meaning of a hitter, no riddling when I'm in the middle. I'll fuck around, take a picture with your momma in the background, set it as my background, bitch what's up? It's really funny that you're tryna be nice now cause bitch I am iced out, and just living life now. You know it's crazy, cause lately I've been debating on whether or not I'll try to keep dating and laying your baby mama bitch. But drama shit will follow and I could ruin you two and nuance, influence you into feeling hollow. You know I don't give a shit what your crew's about? I'll find where your ass lives, fuck your bitch and get out I'll stay popping cherries, don't even take the pit out. I'm an all-star motherfucker then there's you who has to sit out. So pay attention to everything that I'm preaching to you. You could take me as a critic or a teacher, but I love it when a critic wants a feature from the kid and I love when I put into perspective everything I did. I got booty breath, booty booty breath. I got booty breath, booty booty breath, booty. I got booty breath, booty booty breath. Gives me another reason to keep being Trap Demon. I got booty breath, booty booty breath. I got booty breath, booty booty breath, booty. I got booty breath, booty booty breath, that some Tutti Fruttis out that booty girl, you're my world, bitch. I'm over being sober homie, where be all the shit to hit? If you don't know me, blow me, mind your fucking business. This conversation boutta get a bit ridiculous. If you ain't horror squad, then what the fuck you think you is? AK47 send your ass to heaven. I been fucking since I think I was eleven. The clearest vision of winning has always stayed embedded. In my mind, I'm ready, I'm headed and you know I'm taking my time. 69 degree murder on your mama and my dick is the square root of her vagina. Beat the pussy so bad, need a CSI to recognize it. Dope flow, had to pass a bill just to legalize it. I guess you could say I'm a motherfucker wrestling under the sheets, homie I am undercover. I bang aunts, so I could become your other brother. I bang fans, so I could become your other lover. This is for the bitches saying Trap Demon ain't back, give me a second, let me pull around the Maybach. For some of you coming through thinking this a play track. Guess that I'ma need to put it on a gold plaque. Something crazy happen every single time I rap. Steady scheming, confessions of being Trap Demon. Pussy fiending in between the life in the trap. Find me smoking weed and always heading where my path's leading. Don't give a shit who you is. I'm that fucking dude who tryna give your wife a new kid, that's for real. Don't give a shit how you feel. I will barge into your fam and take your name out the will. Sometimes I try to find the time to get this pussy off my mind but it's so easy for me all the time. You know that I don't give a fuck. Two in the butt, one also in the butt. Two in the butt, one also in the butt, motherfuckers. I got booty breath, booty booty breath. I got booty breath, booty booty breath, booty. I got booty breath, booty booty breath. Gives me another reason to keep being Trap Demon. I got booty breath, booty booty breath. I got booty breath, booty booty breath, booty. I got booty breath, booty booty breath. Eat some Tutti Fruttis out that booty girl, you're my world, bitch. I got booty breath, booty booty breath. I got booty breath, booty booty breath, booty. I got booty breath, booty booty breath. Gives me another reason to keep being Trap Demon. All I need is a hella phat booty, all I see is some hella phat booties. What you mean you got something else for me? I'm just tryna see a booty. *turns off music* So…what do you think?

Chris: Uhhhm, I gotta go, Big Bang Theory is on in like two minutes so I don’t want to miss it.

Vinny: Come on, Chris! I’m just being a punk rocker! It’s not true!

Chris: That’s fine, it was super cool, it was great. *sniffling and crying*

Chris singing: Vinny made me sad, I’m just trying to be a good person.

Vinny: Chris?
