Lonely broken child
"I have bad and good news," announced Tim almost falling into the room.
"Start with bad news," muttered Bruse, taking a sip from the cup.
Batkids tensed. Of course, a lovely morning when everyone (somehow) managed to all together enjoy breakfast had to be destroyed by some good-bad news.
"I'll start from a good one," continued Tim "Bruce, you had more far family relatives than you knew."
"And a bad one?"
"They died and now their youngest son has no one to be with because another side of the family doesn't want to take 'sick freaky kid' in."
'Well, it could have been worse,' thought Bruce.
"And his sister described his condition as 'walking dead'," added Tim.
Jason snorted before his face fell with a frown.
"How old is the kid?" Asked Jason with worry.
"13."
Jason choked on his drink and excused himself.
'Well, it can't be even worse,' thought Bruce.
"And-," started Tim.
"There is more!?" Cried out Jason from another room.
"-And some people accuse him of being guilty in an accident in which died his parents."
That morning is indeed quite interesting...

ok so like i’ve seen a few posts blaming mira and ephraim for what happened to ezra and i think that is. a weird take. anyway my personally belief is that tzeebo wasn’t their only plan for ezra if they were taken because they feel like the kind of people to have a network of allies if the goddamn governer of lothal was their friend. i also imagine that they weren’t the only people taken by the empire that night or afterwards, because i feel like it’s implied that they weren’t the only people speaking out against the empire? so like, they probably had a network of people to take care of ezra if something happened but that network dissolved due to arrests, people fleeing, etc etc until there was no way for anyone to find ezra or for ezra to find anyone else and then he was on his own and it was no one’s fault but the empire.

Uhh sorry guys but I think Trikoto might be dead
I was looking through the milgram app and when talking about the production of double and deco 27 specifically mentioned there being two Mikotos. It’s not a mistranslation either, I looked into it and the original phrase is “ふたりのミコトは果たしてこのあとどうなってしまうのでしょうか” and “ふたりのミコト” directly translates to “two Mikoto”.
I understand that people may be bummed by this or saying that Mikoto’s story is playing into stereotypes because of this. But personally I have hope, as trial 2 showed that John wasn’t just an “evil alter” stereotype that much and has a much deeper and interesting character comparable to everything else. Although it’s a bit iffy that it was a bait and switch in the first place because there would still be people who’d take it face value. But personally as someone here said (I forgot who I’m sorry) “the best way to do an overused trope is to do it right” which could apply in this situation. I know there are mixed opinions here and personally I have hope but this is just my take on what is very likely the de-conformation of the trikoto theory.

I just think it's weird how people go, "well every man/woman hates being a man/woman, so you probably aren't trans!" is seen as, like, a valuable argument. I have certainly heard people complain about the experiences they have because of their gender, but that's where it stops. I think, though, that trans and cis people have a vested interest in making gender less restrictive because I have noticed cis people also don't like gender essentialism - that's also what cis people tend to hate, too, even if they aren't aware that that is what they hate.
I don't know how to stress this enough, and I feel like I have said this a million times, but trans people by and large do not have to hate our previous gender - and we often don't! Trans people often hate being forced into a gender we aren't, or being forced to conform to an incorrect gender, but that by no means indicates that trans people hate a certain gender.

Were akira and tooru also orphans?
Mahiru never mentions maternal grandparents, at one point he realizes that when akira died his uncle also became alone and while it doesn't have to mean anything I did find it interesting that when they were still in school and tooru asked touma to come to his house to eat he said akira would cook for them and not their mother or father. When mahiru thinks about heroes always coming back smiling we saw a flashback of akira coming back after apparently leaving a very young mahiru in tooru's care, not with her parents.
The discussion at akira's funeral service also made it sound like the people were more extended family than close family? Where is the rest of the shirota family? Is it just them?

ok gonna be real I’ve never understood the “daigo is like a son to me” route that the writers took with kiryu. they’ve never, at least for most of their time knowing each other, felt like they’ve had a father and son dynamic– an older brother/younger brother one sure, or maybe a young uncle/nephew one. because I mean? they’ve known each other since they were both kids and they’re literally only 8 years apart in age. in y0 it’s implied that kiryu played with him and babysat him more or less when he was around 16-20 and it just doesn’t feel like a Dad sort of thing At All. kiryu was also a kid. just an older kid. daigo was a little brat to him just like an annoying little brother while secretly thinking of kiryu as a Cool Teenager he looked up to and wanted to be more like. it feels way more like an older/younger sibling sort of thing or something akin to that and it only starts being a little more like a father/son dynamic some time after daigo loses his father and feels the need to fill the void– which he couldn’t even begin to do until at least ten years later because kiryu was in prison. and it’s not particularly in a healthy way either, considering. well. like I said. kiryu’s never actually been like a father to him. I don’t even mean that in a negative way in this case, it’s just literally not the role kiryu fundamentally had in his life (especially because their age difference is a good 10-20 years too close to be that of a parental relationship.) so idk. having kiryu say all of a sudden that he sees daigo as a son (especially rather than as family in some other way) just feels kinda. wrong. and jarringly unfounded.
I mean shit, even majima would be more of a dad-ish figure to daigo realistically considering kiryu basically assigned him to look after daigo for like. years. while kiryu just kinda left without any known plans of reconnecting at all. or even kashiwagi on a certain level because of how he stepped in alongside yayoi after sohei’s death. kiryu has barely been around, hasn’t really showed any interest in legitimately being in his life, and has barely had any deeply personal interactions with him since they were basically both kids. and as much as I think how long they’ve known each other and what they’ve both been through is a means for a familial bond of SOME kind, there just seems like no room or evidence for a paternal role being taken on.
at least nothing healthy in that regard; if kiryu’s like a dad to him then he’s undoubtedly a deadbeat one and perhaps feels like a dad to daigo in a way because daigo’s paternal model (his birth father) was also emotionally (and probably largely physically) absent and near-impossible to live up to. that’d at least make sense, regardless of how unhealthy it’d be, but it STILL really doesn’t explain kiryu saying he thinks of daigo like a son.
it’s just. it’s such a weird thing to have him say and I wish it was this confusing because of nuance but honestly I just think the writers watered their dynamic down to supposedly father/son because it seems more emotionally impactful for kiryu to say “you’re like a son to me” than anything else he could’ve potentially said about their bond.

so that picture of gatomons egg falling gave me two thoughts. first: wow her shell is sturdy
and second: what would happen if a digiegg was cracked or smashed. i know some were broken in the corrupted village of beginnings but would they be re-reborn? do you think the eggs could heal from a crack or if it would just not matter
I mean for all we know, the DigiEggs could be literally indestructable (until they hatch), the shell is meant to protect the data of the forming Digimon until it is ready to be born after all, so maybe it could be Sturdy As Hell. The destroyed eggs in the Village could've been just a side-effect of the Village's destruction. Like the rebirth mechanic isn't tied as much to the eggs as it is to the Village itself, it is where Digimon data goes to be reborn. So if you destroy the Village and its ability to spawn DigiEggs, that alone could result in not just the end of egg spawning, but also a spontaneous destruction of the remaining eggs. Or maybe Piemon went stomping on the remaining eggs for funsies, who knows
OR maybe the eggs aren't indestructable, and Tailmon's egg just conveniently landed on something soft that broke the fall, or maybe she was a viable baby and just hatched on impact. I don't think she would've survived otherwise, it would make sense if DigiEggs kinda worked like normal eggs; the baby takes it time until it's ready to be born, if it's completely broken before the baby is viable (/the data is ready to form as a Digimon), the baby dies
That said, the data would probably just restart forming in another egg. Or maybe the egg would just start healing, why bother with making a whole new egg shell when you could just reform the pieces of the egg that still remain (if there are any)
