As a close friend of Chinomiko, how does your conversations go when it’s about mcl new gen, I’m pretty curious 🤭🤭 Because she probably can’t you stuff, so when you talk about your theories about each episode, she just sits and listens? heheh I wouldn’t be able to be her friend, I would probably beg her to spoil me!!

Ahah funny you say that because it's kinda the opposite, she knows I don't want to be spoiled in any way when it comes to plot or illustrations so no I don't discuss theories with her at all, that's what the fandom is for. We have often worked side by side on our own things and I'm not even tempted to snoop, I want to enjoy the games.

Of course it would be disingenuous to say that we don't talk about the games at all. We chat a lot about the characters, their personalities, not only New Gen but all her characters and OCs (her elf thief Thael? You'll see, he's going to be my Lance 2.0 😭💕😭💕). We also read the same books and talk about romance in general, tropes, things that people like and don't like. I do bring a player perspective when we chat about possible themes, and of course not everyone has my tastes and I absolutely don't act as if I'm representing the whole fandom, but I've been playing for so long that I can give suggestions on things I know the majority of players would hate or like.

For example, people were super scared that one of the LIs could possibly cheat at some point in the game, and I know for sure this is never going to happen because we've talked about this kind of things a lot. She miiiight create drama and make the MC and players think this is happening, just because she likes to torture her characters (and us all), but it won't actually happen. So, I guess in a sense I do have a different perspective on things, just because I know her and her tastes and opinions.

About New Gen, I honestly know nothing about what's going to happen, other than the fact that we will have more personal interactions with Jason starting the next episode, and that the story in general is kinda light hearted, there isn't going to be any real drama or deep plot. We should see it more as a sitcom than a drama, if we compared it to a tv show. And that's pretty much it 🤔 I'm trying hard to think if there's anything else I know that you guys may not know by this point but I can't think of anything. I do know she's many episodes ahead, but this isn't a secret, it was said many times even when working on other games, that the Bees are always at least one year ahead of us, so everything we see was planned a while ago, they can't really incorporate current feedback.

Would you really ask to be spoiled anon? I know it's tempting but I want to be surprised while playing the game 😌 I need to slowly fall in love 💕

#also I don't ask but I do harass #cute harassment of course... about more hot Jason scenes 🤭🤭#mcl #my candy love #mcl new gen

The real reason why I left twitter was because I got tired of seeing sukuita shippers bashed over the same old 'omg u like incest/problematic content' argument. I got real tired of explaining myself that I like problematic content in fiction and not in rl so here I am! Free to rant without someone screaming about what's wrong and what's right into my ear. Also, partly, because Tumblr's much better to use for rants or analysis posts.

I thought the uncle reveal was hilarious, actually. It was supposed to add another reason to the growing list why liking them together is wrong. To throw everyone off the boat. To brand them as a big no-no. "Oh look, it's wrong to ship them now! It's incest."

It backfired. It just made them more interesting. It made whatever they have going on now extremely important to the story. I'm going to explain why below the cut because this got long.

Let's be honest, they've already been considered a problematic ship, so this really didn't sway most (as it shouldn't). Gege adding relation into the mix not only worked for the narrative of jjk, but also added more spice and depth to their relationship.

It's become undeniable now that– hate them or love them, ship them or don't– sukuita is the plot. This doesn't come as a surprise to me because the story literally began the moment Yuuji swallowed Sukuna's finger and if there's one thing to expect, it is that everything will– logically– end with them considering it began with them.

The fact that Sukuna's and Yuuji's souls are now proven to be intertwined and that they're connected by blood— blood which never saw daylight because of Sukuna's greed... is something. His twin brother managed to be reborn even if he was so weak that he got offed before even being born and Yuuji is an offspring made out of love that came from a soul Sukuna devoured.

It's poetic karma at its finest. Sukuna's twin brother comes back and has a child which will be his doom.

Not only that, but Yuuji is a total contrast of him, despite the fact that their appearances match. While Sukuna's selfish, Yuuji's selfless. He's a yin to his yang. A half which was lost, killed off, and consumed but it got reborn and brought Yuuji into the world. It survived. Why? Because of love.

And yes, I know Sukuna's twin brother isn't reincarnated into Yuuji but rather into his father— into Jin. Still doesn't matter because they're practically twins. Yuuji's appearance eerily matches Sukuna and even throughout the story, they start resembling each other more and more.

Yuuji being a suitable vessel is given much more meaning. Megumi couldn't fight back against him, yet Yuuji could control him easily. He can handle Sukuna because he is, technically, a product from the other half of him. Indirectly, they're two parts of one whole. So thanks Gege! This is very fucking romantic of you.

In season 1 of Justice League, there is an episode called "Fury". This could have been a great episode, if the subject matter wasn't just so misogynistic.

In this episode, Aresia, an Amazon, creates a virus that only affects men. In doing so, it highlights all the incredible women who does the same job and better as them but who are invisible because they are women.

Obviously they make Aresia, crazy, hysterical, the super villain of the episode to be destroyed at all costs.

''mope, mope, a woman is a misandrist so she will destroy the entire humanity'' when in all the galaxies (on absolutely all the planets in all the episodes) the problem is indeed the behavior of men and males and that the only societies that function are those of women exclusively. It was cool to have Amazons, until I realized that they only serve to demonize and dehumanize women who obviously have the nerve to recognize the patriarchy. And it wasn't even the entire humanity, just men.

Usually, we have Wonder Woman (Diana) who warns women against men, protects them when they engage in sexual harassment, street harassment, coercion, manipulation, etc. She's also a critical of make up, marital life, marriage, having relationships with men etc. An icon. And there, the whole moral of the story of the episode is to say ''not all men''.

This is really the moral of the story, because the plot's end of the episode is the Queen of the Amazons (Hyppolyta) who tells Aresia that ONE day in ALL the history of humanity, ONE man saved her. He saved her from violent men, who transformed women into sex slaves, before that, she was already a survivor of the war of men who had genocided her villages, some rapes against women too, etc. JUST MEN KILLING AND MASS RAPING.

But since ONLY ONE, ONE DAY, apparently did just ONE good deed, which let's face it, is NORMAL behavior!!!

Not good, not bad, NORMAL. The bare minimum.

This makes him the hero and her the villain.

The Amazons live among women, no man is allowed to set foot on the land of Themyscira, by law. They have observed men from afar, sometimes forced up close, they are feminist and realistic when it comes to the situation of the evolution of our planet and the place of men and patriarchy in the responsibility for these developments.

Knowing this, and worse, saying it openly to other women, protecting them from men, makes them BAD. But not in the sense of not nice but inhumane, horrible and VILE.

This is one of the rare episodes we get to see other Amazons who are BADASS WARRIORS GODDESSES but it turned them into sick unrealistic villains.

When they are the most realistic on the entire show. They are marking FACTS.

I am so proud of them but I HATE with all my heart how they did them dirty for daring to say the truth about men.

AND Aresia is fully clothed, not hanging around, saving the world from men in a underwear but clothed, less sexualised then Diana.

Aresia can wear flat shoes, a full clothes costume but she's the villain.

While Diana is in underwear and heels.

I also noticed that she has 2 allied, one with a full practical clothes, and another one in underwear too. One with short hair and the other with long hair.

Guess who betrayed her for men and her not all men speech? And who stayed with her?

I don't remember if the betrayal of Star Sapphire (in the middle) was part of Aresia's plans tho but that's not my point.

Anyway HAIL ARESIA 👑 !! 🛐

Long live Aresia in our hearts!

May her wisdom guides us in this man's world!

She showed us the ways. 🛐

whats ur beef?

My favourite manga lost the plot so now i cope by being a hater 👍

#long answer is i have beef with the direction that the bsd manga has taken #it only superficially resembles the beloved mystery and character-driven detective agency story with atsushi as the main character #i'm dissatisfied with major developments like killing off fyodor and reviving him and pulling this #PSYCH his ability wasn't what you thought it was. with zero foreshadowing or buildup #because the manga has become full of marvel-movie type plot twists that serve little to no coherent narrative purpose except shock factor #it cheapens the story and it cheapens the development of characters and it cheapens the reader's experience #because we can't speculate and we can't draw connections and parallels and engage with the story on a deeper level #what connections there exist (for example between manga and anime) are shoehorned in after the popularity of the anime and #specific characters (e.g. fyodor who was shoehorned into untold origins in the anime) and mostly the characters who bring in money #i.e. fyodor and dazai and chuuya and their relationships especially soukoku. all this at the expense of characters like atsushi or #the majority of the female cast. who have been MIA for god knows how long and who were barely given frame each in the anime's finale #bsd treatment of its female characters has been subpar shounen level at best and now they're completely sidelined #as with most of the original cast and the original themes of the story. in fact i struggle to identify a coherent overarching theme #for the current arc. other than military action scifi movie go brrrr #compared to early arcs where each chapter had a meaningful message to say about the importance of living and what it means to stay alive and #keep going and why we are fighting to keep important people in our lives and to keep ourselves alive #and what it means to belong somewhere and what it means to be good or bad and how your place of belonging affects that #as a long term reader i just feel betrayed and disappointed. by how a story with complex and vibrant characters has become another #generic cashgrab shounen. and i mourn for the lost potential it had and everything the series has build up #only to have plot points abandoned at a whim.#so that's why i'm a hater now 👍#i know a lot of my bsd mutuals are still big fans of bsd so i try not to be obnoxious about it and mainly keep it comedic #like i don't actually hate the manga. because it's so important to me. and i respect the creators of the manga and anime #but it's frustrating to watch a train wreck in real time. and it's my blog i can hate what i want 😔#sorry if there are typos i wrote all this on mobile and can't edit the tags. i didn't wanna put any of this in the main post

was starting to hijack in the tags of that post i just reblogged but ohhhhh it is so juicy to me that the end of TKM is just part of the rising action of andrew's character arcs. and yet the way the novel leaves off, you can have so much hope in the ways its going to continue -- especially because neil proves to us on the last page that he's going to fight like hell to hold onto him whatever comes next.

it's just !!!! all andrew's deals are done. neil's big happy moment of relationship security comes from the fact that andrew didn't deny its existence lol. BUT neils correct to be happy about this, because he knows andrew is a black & white thinker, and he's entering unchartered territory! all his lil lies he uses to duct tape his sanity together are coming apart, and that break is going to be FASCINATING. i doubt it'll be explosive or anything -- andrew's more the "quietly self-destruct climax" type than the "defeat the mafia thru the power of sports climax" type -- but it'll sure be something interesting. and then once it all breaks, we know he'll have neil and kevin and his family and the foxes to help him heal -- and he'll have to believe it when they show they care about him, because he literally doesn't owe anyone anything

#i think thats why all my aus put andrew in his Self Destruct Era #because im just so positive that he well on his way to that at the end of tkm #actually im amending the tags a bit bc i think what i sometimes end up doing w him in aus is a product of the fact that my stories rarely #have extreme external plot elements #like andrew never thinks neil DIES lol #baltimore is so fucking integral to andrews development #he did not have time to do the full self destruct 'oh no can i live without him' era because #he literally got tested on that and he FAILED HAHAHA #so he def knows that he needs neil #the crux of the conflict still is -- can he accept this without hating himself?#because if THATS not addressed then eventually his logic is going to warp #and hes going to do stupid shit #and yeah :) i love when he does stupid shit and then ppl are like #NOPE. unfortuantely you have fucked up severely #and in order to get back what you cant live without #you must board the Self Love Express !!!!#its a journey lil man!!!!!#youre gonna hate it!!!!!!!! youre gonna go on it anyway!!!!#SCRMEEEEAMMMM i love andrew minyard

they werent lying that knuckles series barely has knuckles in it

#i pirated that shit Btw just so we're clear. also gonna talk about it a little bit in the tags #nothing too spoilery but also might not wanna read if you want to go in knowing absolutely nothing? idk #anyway he WAS a main character still he was present for a decent amount of the first couple episodes #but the amount of screentime he gets just starts dropping after that . hes barely there at all in the second half ???#and it feels like theres a lot of scenes mostly focusing on wade and his problems and not near as many for knuckles and his whole deal #overall it feels more like a wade show with knuckles in it than a knuckles show with wade in it. which sucks #and human characters having plot relevance isnt the problem here i dont mind human characters at all i think they can be really fun #its the fact that the human characters are taking over the story and spotlight when the show is called knuckles #and all the marketing makes it look like knuckles is the main focus #and i also would have preferred if they just went with a differnet character to be knuckles' human friend #because i dont particulraly care about wade. and the knuckles (and sonic and tails) i know would not be friends with cops </3 #well at least the story wasnt knuckles training wade to be a better cop like a lot of people were expecting but thats like.the bare minimum #also aside from the issues relating to knuckles' screentime (or lack of screentime) i thought the ending was unsatisfying #regardless of all that though there WERE some parts i enjoyed or found kind of funny or whatever. because knuckles so cutesy as always #knuckles being a cute little guy is the most important part of the show actually #and i liked the parts with sonic tails and maddie even if they were only there for like 5 minutes #(i really wish those three had gotten more screentime. i feel like they could have easily worked in at least one more scene with them)#and its a minor thing but the opening sequence is cute. was honestly expecting just a title card or something #overall the show is just . kind of okay i guess. not the worst thing ive ever seen but still disappointing ? idk how to explain..#my expectations also werent very high in the first place #so maybe im being a bit more generous than i would have been otherwise. idk #and i definitely would not recommend this to anyone who already dislikes the sonic movies . youll probably hate this more #like people who thought the human characters got too much screentime in the second movie would lose their minds if they saw this

The Banshees of Inisherin / Polite Society / Spider-Man: Across the Spider-verse / Summer of Soul/They Cloned Tyrone /The Godfather/Rye Lane / Bottoms / Die Hard

9 Favourite First Time Watches: 2023

Tagged by @thatidomagirl and tagging @cryptiddies @icedsodapop @polarcell @naslostcontrol @kutputli @fishbarconcept and anyone else who wants to do it

#idk about you guys but i find something deeply poetic in the fact that godfather and bottoms are like. in the same convo #rwrb got pushed to 10th place when i remembered that i did actually watch the godfather trilogy this summer #hate to give a coppola some credit but the godfather is a classic for a reason #it even kept my mum (the jane austen addict who hates blood and violence) invested and awake for the full run time #marry me with jlo and owen wilson got pushed down to 11 when i remembered die hard asdfghj #the ones who got away (2023 releases) are joy ride and scrapper. and aftersun. and past lives #if i have to pick a fave it's rye lane #it was just so iconic in every way #the script the visual story-telling the characters #the peckham of it all #also quite funny how obviously i gravitate towards a movie of colour #like. white people can make great art and i'll likely get to it #but i've spent a whole lifetime seeing those movies and now i'm gonna go out of my way #to make sure i watch all the movies of colour that interest me #polite society and they cloned tyrone and rye lane really just tick all the boxes for me #in terms of like. sci-fi/magical realism within the plot or the visual choices #i really mourn the lack of attention they got but i also know neither of them got a cinema release in sweden #and neither of them got any kind of substantial promo in sweden #so i can only assume it's a similar deal in other places #tragically enough

#anti ahsoka tano #mine #using that tag makes me gag but i want to be polite about the fact that i am SICK of this dude #i just don't like her being in all star wars media and i especially hate her being this god tier jedi when she is JUST A PADAWAN #i don't give a fuck anakin was her master #being strong in the force is NOT contagious #and i'm going to hate every second of the show since they're gonna make it all about her #when the plot is going to be about finding ezra #and it's apparently standalone #IT'S CONTINUING THE STORY OF REBELS LITERALLY HOW CAN IT BE STANDALONE

i am right there with u on being disappointed by 'a long way to a small angry planet' - it just sort of happened and then was over. it felt so shallow and i was left sort of just, that was it?

some cool worldbuilding? i guess? but the characters were so... there? and nothing felt tense really except briefly in bursts. lik kind of boring episodes of a tv show which then had a finale where none of the main characters instigated or helped with the big blow up or tried to stop it or evn really knew what was happening (its been a couple months since i read, but lik, thats the vibe i remember)

like i kept waiting for it to ramp up, but it felt lik all setup/backstory or lik all epilogue? idk but it never got off the ground imo. just taxied around the airport

Taxiing around the airport is a perfect analogy, yeah thanks anon. I actually haven't finished it, I'm about three quarters through, but no worries about spoilers, I don't care about this book enough for that to matter

I feel like chambers really loved the bits of an RPG game (... again, mass effect lol) where you can optionally ask a character about all their species/culture lore, forgetting that you gotta embed that shit into an actual story, or else all you've done is write a lore bible with quotation marks around things. World building is nothing if you don't hang it over a story.

The most amusing part so far is when they got boarded by some ostensible bad guys, and I was hyped, like wow some actual conflict showed up like 40% into the book, amazing. But then they just have a conversation with the main guy and work out a deal where everyone's pretty happy, and the one guy who got kinda hurt talked out all his feelings with the other crewmates who all have hidden psych degrees apparently and it's all fine

Also the one fly in the ointment about rosemary and her ~hidden past~ and then she admits it to someone and they're like "what's the problem though" and I'm here like "I'M SAYING, there ISN'T ONE". There are no problems. Everyone loves each other and everything works out ok with no real effort on anyone's part.

thinking abt how nemesis kind of sets up what should be the most thematically interesting ambition in FL and how quickly that fades as it goes

#had a good amount of time to think abt it now and the knife price cut just hit so ive got some thoughts #nemesis puts a good amount of time into asking the player how far they're willing to go for revenge but the message dilutes as it goes #you start off and it costs you hard-earned lessons to /not/ kill someone really early on. to /not/ kill it costs you extra #and then as you go ur just given more and more cost gates and it never quite hits that same note again #not until right at the end where you can spare m_ ______ and m_ ___#but there is the feeling that you're doing it no matter the cost #and i think that's why the knifegate change has me hurting. like as much as it was a pain it also felt amazing to get through it #i think what should've been added rly was an option to get the lethean tea leaves from the esuriant smith or lilac #bc the main thing that's missing from the whole 'revenge tragedy' plot is the ability for the player to have turned away at any point #only to keep pushing on because they just can't bring themselves to forget #in the end it just feels like that early 'kill for the keys' or 'just knock them out but its harder' should've been a recurring motif #like the bodies always pile up in revenge stories. how much are u willing to do to ensure they don't??#it'd have been nice to have more options #ways around dealing with that devil other ways instead of taking red honey ways of not (probably) worsening the condition of a seeker #idk #im also at least a little bit mad abt the fact that for all that cost there's almost never fun post-nemesis things #always seeing hearts desire options (HATE u mr cards) and BaL options and what do nemesis players get. hellicon house stuff.

idk if this is an unpopular opinion i think its kind of in the middle. but i actually really like that almost every season of spn is like 20+ episodes and unapologetically takes random breaks inbetween huge chunks of plot to just go 'hey remember when these guys killed vampires and shit. heres them doing that again' not all of the motw episodes are hits as it gets further into the show and theyre a little bit more gimmicky and/or forced in but i do like them

#tired of every show nowadays having 7 episode seasons where the characters dont even take 5 minutes to just talk to each other #every show should have time for characters to just exist in their world without the weight of it crushing them #and not just the first 5 minutes of the pilot before the plot has started #i know that a lot of people feel that way which is why i dont think this opinion is unpoplar #but i also know that a lot of motw episodes of supernatural are rated lower than heavy hitting plot episodes #so maybe its just specific to this show #i feel like if the show had ended sooner (wasnt it supposed to end at 5?) people wouldnt hate them as much #it probably has to do with the fact that a ghost story can only be so unique and interesting 14 seasons into a Ghost Hunting Show #simon says

something about kenirchiro's design that makes me angry is that NONE of these blues are the same

like if you ignore the fact that his outfit is wack and there is too much going on

none of these blues are the same and I know it's small but it makes me so annoyed...

like shit just have the deep blue on his arm band, a light blue for details, and then have all his hair be the same blue... not that hard!

#also if you ignore that no matter how big you are get hit hard would hurt like shit if he was actually built like that #since he doesn't have body fat to insulate any damage #I really hate the fact that all of the body types in anime are just guy with drawn on looking abs ...#grrr #and this is just with his design #he became a better character imo but they built him up for like the lamest fight ever #then he doesn't actually do much throughout the story other than showing up if the plot says so #it's unfortunate #kenichiro doman #bucchigiri?!#drink printer ink #I don't think i've done this on tumblr but yeah I am yapping about character design again #I can't help it

sue me but i just really don’t wanna see someone try to rectify that terrible cliche out of character love triangle again like. if they chose to cut that out all together (not cutting YUMI out all together, obviously, just the romantic implications) then they’d probably have my attention. but let’s be real that’s probably not gonna happen

#legit you can cut out all romantic implications in that story and it’d literally not effect the plot at all #all the driving forces of the plot are already there. and they set that in stone when they made yakuza 0- nishiki and kiryu’s story #is between them and them alone and that’s how their story should end as well. yumi is important to the plot of y1/kiwami but not as a #an object in between kiryu and nishiki- she’s important for her own individual reasons and throughout the entirety of 1 she functions by her #own volition. she’s got her own shit going on and though it intersects with kiryu and nishiki in the end (and before that via haruka)#it literally has nothing to do with romance– it has to do with the 10 billion yen and haruka and how she ties into all of that #the fact that they’re all childhood friends COULD have been a very interesting piece of the ending to play with narratively speaking but #they don’t explore that instead they just say unga bunga straight men must fight over woman unga bunga #like come on are you fucking kidding me #she had her own whole ass life for 10 years. so did the other two for better or for worse. nishiki is a murderer and kiryu got ten years of #his life taken away by prison. but no it’s all secretly actually connected by a love triangle that’s been #just sorta hibernating for ten years or something #god #sorry I just. I hate it man i hate it so much there’s so much potential and good parts of the plot to explore but they DONT #becuase of heteronormative cliche bullshit that doesn’t make sense both narratively and in terms of the characters’ personalities #and backgrounds and morals and aggsgdhshshsxjhdhfjfjfjxjfhdhshss #rambling #call me a misogynist or whatever if you want but if you read these tags you see why I think the LESS misogynistic option would be to cut #out the love triangle/romantic shit completely and focus more on HER as HER OWN gigantic piece of the puzzle #with her own fucking Life #yk1

perhaps I will do some writing tonight instead of sleeping.... Tucker is helping me by being a literal lap cat as we speak

#ruckis borks #ruckis rants #<- in the tags #I've been wanting to do some writing on the account of I need a way to take my mind off of how the campaign has been going #it's been a massive snowballing effect paired with player favoritism. ugh.#a large part of it is difference in preferred playstyle and pace #I'm not gonna get too into detail but I will say. with how its been going it makes the oddysey look like a cake walk.#its being blamed on The Fates as a plot point but largely has to do with how dependent the dm is on dice rolls for results(the dice hate us #idk about you but playing out a soap opra you didnt consent to being a part of when it started out as goofs and gaffs Every Single Session #it kinda sucks #on top of the fact her dice REALLY hate us and the only part I had left to enjoy (fighting) has been sapped of fun. we keep losing.#but anyways one of my characters got the fuck out of dodge and went home after telling the party leader off #and the other has gone full on psociopath murder hobo mode #and now I'm sitting here like... I could write a better story >:( I'm GONNA write a better story >:(((#so yeagh this might just be the thing that pushes me to continue writing OotS (I'm also reduxing the first few chapters of the heroes tale)

i'm not going to complain about shadow and bone too much because i could obviously just like. not watch it. but just know that ohh my god. oh my god

#ziggy speaks #soc #anti shadow and bone #im being dramatic it's not terrible i guess #i hate so much when franchises and whatever make some kind of adaptation where they keep the characters but give them nothing to fucking do #it's clearly just for money with no regard to why the characters themselves are compelling and the fact that you literally need plot???#the entire plot of crooked kingdom is reliant on the plot of six of crows and the ice court heist but the show includes scenes or at least #nods to scenes from both books #but they don't work without the context #and theres so much mischaracterization and like they rush the character development so much because the soc characters have like no actual #time to be characters and the story they gave them makes no sense????#THEY NEED THE HEIST #THATS THE POINT OF THEM #the facades are supposed to be stronger than this.. you cannot have kaz saying how much he needs and relies on inej in like episode three #i am but a simple teenager and i have the potential for so much rage #idec idec #also my six of crows hyperfixation was like two years ago #apparently im ready to go to war over it today in the year of our lord 2023 #who knew
