With it kind of being clear that Ness is BPD-coded, let's remember that he isn't meant to be a "villain" persay. Is he a bit annoying? Yes. Is he in an absolutely fucked up 'friendship' that he'd do anything for? Yes. Does that mean he's supposed to be some bad, dangerous person who will ruin Isagi's life and kill Kunigami or something? No. If anything he fits right in with all the other sentiments opponents have thrown Isagi's way and I think it's important to remember that as more stuff about his character comes out. Like don't act as if the author is demonizing people with BPD, if anything he's just another hormonal teenager in a story about hormonal teenagers playing soccer.

hallo are you still making the incryption card or have you quit or are you the wrong person
Yeah I'm definitely that guy. And I've got Words about it.
Basically, I'm done with them. The project was mostly being done for me to just be creative and make things for fun, and ultimately, it did that. I've gotten everything out of it that I wanted to and just don't really have a desire to keep making things for it.
That and well, the Inscryption community, at least around the modding scene which ended up being what I was closest to, tended to be real toxic and shitty. Not really to me luckily, but it was super draining to see them actively tear each other down and being complete assholes to each other because they just didn't like the thing someone else made, or didn't like that someone didn't like what they made or liked.
And that includes people who are just using my assets to create things because they want to, on both sides of that. And while I'm super glad my assets got people to be creative, watching everyone in that community constantly tear each other down and fight for petty reasons just pushed me away from it to the point I barely want to be involved with it anymore, both the community as a whole and my own project within it.
So...yeah, project is basically dead cause the section of community I ended up in was super toxic and shitty to each other nigh constantly and that drained all my desire to keep working on things.
I still technically help with a small project called Augmented which is a heavy retooling of my assets to make something more balanced and closer to what a real TCG would try to be. They have an alpha up on the Table Top Simulator workshop if you wanna check it out, but other than that I've moved on.

"Trafalgar law is a very serious character'
Why Law is just a silly little guy:
Despite him being introduced as slightly menacing and mysterious, he slowly falls victim to the Strawhat's shenanigans and eventually reveals his immense hatred of bread.
2. He constantly Bepo as a pillow, even when's trying to be menacing.
3. He has a weakness for cute things. Chopper, Sugar, especially Bepo.
4. He's a big ol nerd. He can pretend all he wants that everyone in the North Blue knows Sora warrior of the sea by heart but the look in his eyes proves otherwise. And he too fell victim to how cool the ninja was.
5. Literally half his screentime is him getting beat up in the most babygirl way ever
6. His crew basically acts like a cheerleading squad while he sulks in the corner like an emo teen as if he isnt a grown man
7. The entirety of his screentime in one piece party
8. The scene in the light novel where he literally compares himself to being a stray kitten being adopted
9. His best idea for a disguise is wearing a mustache, sunglasses and his hood up. With his tattoos very visible. And his hat. And the jacket with "Corazon" on the back, something Doflamingo and the Donquixote family would instantly recognize.
10. in dressrosa when he's being basically carried around like a potato sack and at one point cavendish is just hanging him over his horse.

OH. okay so normally i dont touch discourse with a 20 ft pole, but this has been niggling at my brain tonight and i finally realized why
the people who are mad at qbbh for the memory loss and “dodging consequences” dont understand that he doesnt want to dodge consequences. Like they cant know that, they werent focused on him when he was literally feeding himself to the soul vultures and planning his eventual imprisonment and also. The Many Many Many hints he made towards suicide/sacrifice/Just Fucking Dying.
ccbbh is a subtle roleplayer, he’s been building this shit up for two whole months- it was day FIVE of the eggs going missing that he resolved to do whatever it took (hurting his friends) to get the eggs back. It was day three that he followed in dapper’s footsteps and started feeding himself to the soul vultures (and gaining a Massive headwound beneath his hood in the process- you can only see it if you go on namemc and remove the layers). He’s got impaired judgement. Even the memory issues arent a new thing- i cant remember exactly when they started, but one of the first big moments i remmeber was september 30th where he spent an hour falling into a delusional frenzy searching his base for cameras that he forgot he asked aypierre to plant.
The super murder of purgatory and the memory loss afterwards probably all feels very sudden for people who havent been following his story, but as someone who has been- all of this has been true to character. The only cheap swings he’s made have been combat-based in purgatory, and even the motive for those was built up in rp.
People are calling for consequences, but he has alrwady been experiencing self-inflicted consequences for months. The blue on his usual outfit is blood. This recent memory loss isnt a restart to get away with the atrocities - it is yet another consequence of his egg-protecting complexes and the ways he punishes himself for failing them.
he is NOT a moral character. he’s a demon hiding in plain site. he has eaten people. he has killed people. he understands the cruelty of his actions, and the consequences of them for the loved ones of his victims. but it matters when that harm is being done to his loved ones. he’ll still do it, because he will do anything for the eggs, but it matters, and that means that he has already started the process of self-inflicting those much-demanded consequences

This is fucking bullshit. I am so sick and tired of my adult life being ruled by other people's kids because the parents are too fucking lazy to be a parent and supervise their children on the Internet. And to those who will say "well the parents work" then either teach your kids internet safety or take away their damn phones so they can't access it. Don't make it the entire fucking adult worlds problem. I got policed plenty while I was a child. Don't fucking do it to me when I'm an adult. This isnt right. This is a blatent violation of free speech and human rights. We all know what the government will do with this act. It has NOTHING to do with protecting kids. It has all to do with isolating the United States and closing off connections so people are unable to organize.
It will cut off abused children from seeking help. It will cut adults off from educational material containing "adult content". What? Are we going back to our elementary years "Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 14-hundred 92? Where we make cute little cut-outs of the bastard who tortured people? Yeah that's real cool to teach children. Not harmful at all. Wasn't harmful at all realizing all the propaganda I learned in school was BULLSHIT. When I could've been learning about; how to pay taxes, how to buy a car, how to buy a house, medical affairs, sexual education, how to clean properly, how to manage finances, types of trades. ALL THE SHIT TO ACTUALLY HELP IN MY ADULT LIFE.
Oh and you really wanna help kids? Let them fucking beat the shit out of their bullies and let those little monsters learn early, fucking with people for your enjoyment ISNT ACCEPTABLE, instead of your schools institution blaming the victim and sweeping the incident under the rug. Maybe then we wouldn't have so many adult monsters and people full of anxiety!
This will affect artists and indie creators who are primarily LGBTQ or who create adult related contents in their works. It will ruin any indie creators chances if they do not pair with a big company. It will systematically DESTROY our ability to connect and grow our audiences. It will be THE END for adult online cartoons, comics, web series, etc.
Oh and I'm saying this as someone who was groomed and had friends who were groomed. Wanna know why? Because my friends parents couldn't bother to be parents. But that also didn't stop us from watching bad VCR tapes. Kids are gonna find "harmful" content anywhere. It's called growing up. If you shield kids from the Internet you're just going to isolate and shelter them further while predators find a way around it once again. Hello the age of Normalizing the Dark Web which will put MORE people in danger including your precious children and minors. The Internet 2 will be the wild West again and the cycle will just repeat. Heed this warning. Leave the fucking internet alone. It's the last bastion of true freedom and if you take it away; SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES will come. Because people will finally hit their limit.
Leave it alone KOSA - REBLOG IF YOU AGREE

"nothing changes if you don't vote"
"republicans vote"
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They also do active work towards their political goals that go further than just screeching at people to vote. Like running for office so people can vote.
I can not express how much of Every election Ever is not voters fault, but the fault of every capable liberal and leftist who sits around telling us to vote/read theory but never actually uses their privilege to do any active part of dismantling racism or anything else they pretend to care about, including the actual bare minimum of getting blue votes which isnt voting, but running for office so people can vote blue.
Non-voters aren't the problem. The people to blame are the same fucking people that are always to blame throughout all of history. People who see awful things happening around them and still sit around doing nothing but feeling guilt and fear they might be treated the same way. So they choose to follow the fucked up laws and status quo of a government that doesn't give a shit about them, meanwhile finding ways to blame the Actual victims of the government so they can feel better about protecting themselves instead.
"vote"
A fairy tale for liberals who don't wanna confront the reality that they don't have any power over their lives.
My executively dysfunctional, depressive, disabled, unstable ass sure doesn't. Couldn't run for office even if I wanted to. Relying on EBT and racist federal workers. Relying on others to run for office with my best interest in mind. I rely on on this government and it's people to take care of me and people like me but look where that got me. You think that was my choice? That I voted for this life? Did you vote for me to struggle like this?
No, you didn't.
But I am. Lots of people are. Because voting doesn't work. Because our problems are systematic and the things influencing us are systematic. They aren't things you vote for or would be ever put up for a vote in the first place. You can't vote blue without a Democrat that isn't on your ballot, for example. And lots of us can't fix things ourselves through normal political means like running for office cuz every branch of the US is inaccessible to us in a very racist, queerphobic, ableist, and classist way.
Voting isn't enough, it never was. It's not even the bare minimum. The bare minimum is doing something. Protest, burn something down, participate in mutual aid, run for office yourself, become a journalist that's Honest and unbought. But just saying "yeah I like this one" and coloring in some boxes every 2-4 years isn't fucking it. It never was. And thinking otherwise is exactly why I'm looking at ballot with no fucking democrats, progressives, or leftists on it.
I'm fucking begging you all to do more than vote and scream at everyone else to vote. Begging. Please fucking do more than that. And don't "we are" me because I'm looking at a ballot in one of the most progressive states in the country and objectively no you're fucking not.

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
IMAGINE THAT...
You sat on your throne a fist on your cheek and a lazy look displayed on your gorgeous face. you look down to your loyal acolytes .. they had their heads down in shame. shame, shame, shame. these loyal acolytes of yours are now begging for forgiveness. why..? isn't it their own fault for not knowing u were the real creator? isn't it their fault for not recognizing the false one? weren't they LOYAL and FAITHFUL to you? or are u just a JOKE! Those days u ran to not get killed by the Favonius knights, those milleths, the shogun's army and many many more acolytes that volunteered.. the days you were injured by swords, arrows, hurtful comments, the npcs hitting u with damn rocks... the only thing u luckily got yourself to be in your rightful throne is that u cut yourself Infront of them, gold and starry blood oozed out of your arm. then panic! Recalling those disgusting memories made you enraged. after all that, they confidently BEG for forgiveness.... the trauma u received... is unforgivable. you clenched your eyes shut, teeth clenched together, fist clenched tightly.. you felt sick just looking at these damn monsters that almost killed you, u felt utterly disgusted. Nahida was besides you, she looked at your shaken form and softly held your hand to calm you... you looked at her and smiled. but in the end you had someone here that actually believed you when u both first met. Afterall she was the archon of wisdom. You sat up, anger visible to see from the window of your soul, you knew u weren't gonna forgive these dumb monsters. why should you? would you really forgive the ones that gave you blunt and unforgiving trauma? its like forgiving the one that killed you so easily so... agh! You walked down the stairs, towards the archons infront. you lifted their chin, looking dead on the eyes of this pathetic and naïve archon. "your grace... please we beg of your--" snap! you punched it. you punched this archon infront of u. "y-your grace!" you kept going. to the left to the right, you kept punching it. kept going until it was black and blue. something u cant even recognized anymore. you didn't care, you didn't care anymore, this isn't even half of the things they have done to you! None of the archons besides it even batted an eye, they still had their head bowed so lowly.. oh how they wished to be in their fellow archons place.. after it stopped moving u laughed, laughed filled with pain and unsatisfied hunger. it felt amazing, you felt amazing punching the fuck out of this bug. You sat up, smiling down at your creation. you wanted more. you wanted to show these damn monsters how you FELT in those damn days that felt like years. you were sure that this will make u the horrible one but u didnt care. giving the things that happened to u is the right thing isnt it? karma bounces back.
You aren't the villain, you are just a victim.. oh how u wish this dream doesnt end...

Naoki Urasawa's manga "Monster" Interview;
Tumblr media
Naoki Urasawa is one of the most successful manga artists in Japan, having not only been awarded the most important prizes in Japan, but also in Germany. He celebrated his international breakthrough with the thriller series "Monster", which he drew in the 90s. It's about a Japanese neurosurgeon in Düsseldorf who saves the life of a boy and gives up his career to do it - actually he should have operated on the mayor instead of the boy - and then gets into real trouble because he is involved in a series of serial murders and a conspiracy device. Andrea Heinze : How did you come up with the idea for the series? Naoki Urasawa: The drama “Monster” was created because I really liked the novel “Frankenstein”. That really interested me and I thought about whether I could bring the story into today. The second aspect was that at that time in the USA there was this film with Harrison Ford, “The Fugitive”. It was about a doctor whose wife was killed and I really liked it. And then I thought, I have to do something that involves a doctor who is being chased and has to solve a mystery. And then I was interested in “Frankenstein,” this old Gothic landscape, and I wanted to bring the two together somehow. And then we somehow came across Germany. Blonde boy as a contrast to evil Germany
I heard that people saying Johan was inspired by Hannibal and other psychopathic characters etc but it never make sense to me. (Maybe some characteristic sides makes sense but generally no, he is different). It makes sense that Monster is inspired by Frankenstein story because Johan is portrayed as more like someone who became the way he is because of his past. He is the monster created by the real monster. (Mostly its Franz Bonaparta who stole his and many others name, biggest sin a person can do). Its really combined between two stories because Tenma wasnt/isnt wrong to save Johan.
Heinze: And what does Germany have to do with it? Urasawa: I wanted to do something dark. And I don't want to say that Germany is the root of all evil. But if you look at the Second World War - and this is present in Japan, also because Japan was an ally of Germany at the time - there were a lot of dark stories in Germany and also in Japan. A lot has been clarified. But some things don't. I also came up with this beautiful, blonde, blue-eyed boy as a character. I think that's a good contrast to contrast with this dark, bad thing. And the more you delve into history, the more clear it becomes that the roots of the conflicts lie in the Second World War. If you add all of that up, the manga could only take place in Germany.
I am glad that real life stories was brought up but its really sad that this actually happenned somewhere.
Heinze: How did you research the story for “Monster”? Urasawa : I watched a lot of documentaries. In the 1990s there were also reports of neo-Nazi attacks on houses where Turks lived. I've seen things like that and they've also found their way into my story. I made up the rest. For example, the boy, Johann. He is raised in a children's home where many human experiments take place. And shortly before I finished my work "Monster," there was a documentary on Japanese television about the end of the Nazi era, and it also reported on a camp in which blonde, blue-eyed young people were herded together and essentially had to undergo elite training . And this boy who was depicted there was also called Johannes. I was then asked if I had known all of this before - but that wasn't true, it was all in my imagination. A person becomes a monster
This is insane....chills. Its so ironic that a lot of people remember Johan's character as some evil psychopath but not only he isnt written that way in story but also, his origin is literally coming from actual victim, a child. Intentional or unconciously or maybe coincidence but still, wow.
Heinze: How is it that Prague also became the setting for the story? Urasawa: Because everything that was east of Germany, all the Eastern European countries, was not even known in Japan in the 1990s. It's completely different today, but back then people hardly knew everything that lay east of Germany. While on the other hand, Germany and everything further west was already developed for tourism. And Eastern Europe had never been featured in the manga until then. It also fascinated and really attracted me as an illustrator. If you go to Germany or France, it is much brighter in the evenings. But if you go further east, in my case it was Prague, it was much darker on the streets in the evenings in the mid-90s. And I wanted to explore this darkness, this night, for myself.
No wonder story feels so real, with both its characters and places.
Heinze: What does the manga “Monster” have to do with Mary Shelly’s novel “Frankenstein”? Urasawa : Frankenstein is about a scientist who created a monster, and it's also about human responsibility. There are certainly things that humans are allowed to do and that they perhaps shouldn't be able to do. These thoughts can certainly be taken further, and that's what I did in the "Monster" series. It's about the Japanese doctor who saved a boy, and later the boy becomes a monster, a murderer. And then the doctor asks himself whether he is not responsible for the fact that this boy has become a murderer. This is a different conflict than in "Frankenstein", but the question of responsibility for one's own actions is also an issue in "Monster". Dostoyevsky novel using the means of manga
Though, story is inspired by Frankeinstein, Tenma is clearly right to save kid's life. He isnt the 'evil' doctor who is responsible for the monster. He is the real doctor who saves this boy from destruction at the end.
Heinze : For me, this doctor is an ideal example of the good in people. He even saves this boy against the wishes of the clinic management, who would much rather use their best surgeon to operate on the mayor. Urasawa: Every good person has places somewhere in their hearts that are perhaps not so good, and it was the same with Doctor Hämmer - in the hospital there were also some disagreements with the management, where he also thought: "Preferably I would like it if everyone were dead." And later Johann also tells him: "I have fulfilled what you wished for." Then the idea came to him that he had also caused all of this and was to blame for it. And I wanted to show in my work that there is something good and something bad in every person, and that is just human nature. Also, what I didn't mention: There is the classic manga "Astroboy" by Osamu Tezuka in Japan. There is a scientist whose son died and he then creates a robot that looks like his son and that also has feelings. But somehow he says: "You are not my son." At some point he neglects this robot. This scientist is basically Doctor Tenma. So “Frankenstein” and “Astro Boy” are the two sides that belong closely together. I especially consider the artist Tezuka with his classic “Astro Boy” to be my roots.
Here's the real message of Monster, that noone is just a monster and every person has monster in them and that story, Tenma is being parallels with father who neglects his son...I wonder is it him realizing that he was never supposed to kill Johan (the son), he was right to save him, trying to kill him is the neglect/him failing to understand him and end up saving him. Maybe i am reaching but its makes more sense that way. Btw i love how Tenma visits Johan even at the end. Despite everything, they really give that father-son energy.
Heinze: Osamu Tezuka is considered the founder of modern manga, what do you like about him? Urasawa: It's hard to say in one word. Maybe you can describe it like this: The manga were initially comics for children. But Tezuka did it differently, he practically wrote something like a Dostoyevsky novel, but using the means of manga. Something much deeper, and ultimately it's not about justice winning, but it goes even deeper, practically conveying the feeling that even winning can bring with it something sad and empty. This is something deeper. And he was able to convey that in the beginning of the manga. Statements made by our conversation partners reflect their own views. Deutschlandfunk does not adopt statements made by its interlocutors in interviews and discussions.
Its really deep story.
This is the source of this interview, i really wanted to make comment/analyze about it.

Hello :]]!! Could I request Edward x gn!reader and like.. headcanons of how the confession would‘ve gone like?
Tumblr media
OFC!!!!!! I LOVE EDWARD

Oliver: Red
Zip: Pink
Edward: Blue
You/Reader: Purple
Warnings: There's none
Summary: Edward confesses his love for you!
ᯓ★ At the first day of school (Aka: hell), you attracted Edward's attention. Of course he bullied you, but there was something about you that kept him coming back for more.
ᯓ★ Edward would stare at you in class, Zip and Oliver like the little shits they are would tease him about it, Oliver would be the first to mention it since Zip isnt the smartest.
ᯓ★"EDWARD, why are you staring at them?, Do you Loveeee them?" "Yea, Do you!? Do you!?""No, No, I am just observing the victim" Let's just say didn't let it go, he'd stare at you every class you had with him...Zip and Oliver stared to suspect he had a crush on you
ᯓ★ Soon the realization will hit, he did love you. . .The high-school prom was coming up, and oh boy did he hope you'd say yes when he asks you. He even had practiced asking you out in the mirror, he didn't want to look like a fool after all. (RAHHHHH I LOVE HIM)
ᯓ★ Soon the golden day came and he came up to you. "Uhm, soo [Name] I was wondering if you'd come with me to the prom" his showed how nervous he was and you couldn't help but giggle "Of course I'll go with you" Edward's eyes seem to light up like christmas lights and he suddenly hugged you tightly and swug you around. . . He was over joyed.
ᯓ★ At prom; He dressed in a suit and you dressed in the outfit of your choice. . . As you two were slow dancing, Edward leaned in and whispered in your ear "I love you [Name]"

its gotten to a point where its ridiculous how usamericans and europeans grabbed a random fact from the 19th century and ran with it to build another prejudiced vision about south american countries. In short, no its absolutely not true that "there are no black/indigenous people" in countries such as Argentina or Uruguay, studies deminstarte it and anyone who lives inside these countries and isnt actively racist can see it.
Its true that during colonial times and afterwards there was a whitening process, you see while USA had segregation in latin america mixed marriages were encouraged as the norm bc it was thought children would be born paler and catholic, this resulted in most of latin american people being mixed genetically (except the more powerful classes who of course still marry between themselves and tend to be of european descent only). Also, lot of the times, black male slaves were thrown as soldiers in the independance wars and other fights, this is something that happened all over the americas, including the US.
But since race is a social construct that varies from time to time and from country to country, its not seen the same in latin america than in the US. Here nobody cares about blood quantum like they still seem to do in the US, a lot of ppl who identify as black there would never say they are black here, and you would probably never call "white" most people who self identify as white from uruguay or argentina if you ever saw them irl. Here racial identitity is more focused on phenotype (facial features) and self-identification, which makes it so that if you can "pass as white" youre most likely going to be identifying as such because the concept of "being white" is incredibly wide. Also because european immigration to south america came mostly from spaniards and italians unlike what happened in the US.
There is of course internalized racism that answers to all of this, and state government racism just like it happens in the US there is a reason why most POC in latin america make up the poorest classes, and have the least opportunities to rise from them. Calling all argentinean and uruguayan people blue eyed blonde nazis is a disservice to all of us, but most of all to POC who identify with pride with their roots, it shows youre not interested in them you just want a viral tweet/tiktok to diss on countries who are still victim to YOUR country's imperialism. It sounds as if you only found out two days ago about other latine countries that are not mexico, it sounds as if you dont understand context and that you cant apply an usamerican pov to other countries narratives.
Lastly, since yankis get horny with graphs and percentages, heres some numbers: Uruguay has about 4.5% self identified black people (although genetic studies claim it could be higher up to 7%) meanwhile argentina has about 150k people self identifying as such, but afroargentinean organizations claim the numbers can be up to 2 million people, which would also be a 4.5% of the population, its a trend that seems to be repeated in a lot of american countries.

Angst drabble of q!philza finally snapping in purgatory, based on tubbos stream today.
___________________________________
Tubbo was frustrated, no one was listening or taking him seriously. The points he put together today are critical. "Phil you HAVE to listen to me man! Blue is the cursed team and if we lose all the eggs die!"
Like usual on this island, Phil shrugged him away like he was a bother. His body language was sluggish and ragged, tone building with irritation. "I think you're wrong Toby. It's always been us, look at what our team has been through!"
"What is with this victim complex you all got? Aside from a shit first day-"
"VICTIM Complex??! Tubbo it's our kids on the line here! You don't know the weight of everything going on so I'd appreciate if-"
A yelling match starts, both at their limit from this stupid island and the distance it has created between them all. "I still care about them Phil! They are my God kids, I like them all and want them to live too. Does that not matter or are you purposely being obtuse? I'm trying to HELP you and you act like you don't even care-"
Something in Phil snaps. All the feelings he's repressed to be a cool-headed leader for his team coming to the surface in a furious wave with the power to drown the target of his ire.
"I CARE A HELL LOT MORE THAN YOU. They are MY kids, OUR kids. You won't ever understand. You don't have a kid, you don't have a family, you don't have a partner, you don't even have a home! You live in a factory alone, making a huge mess on the island and pissing everyone off. You know what? Everything was fine until you showed up. You spun that wheel when you weren't meant to get in there and burnt the kids stuff before we weren't taken here. If anything YOU are the real curse. Leave this to the parents alright? Go before I take a kill on you."
Tubbo felt himself draw inward while Phil yelled at him. He felt a disconnect happen, his mind going fuzzy and cold. He felt tears well in the corner of his eyes but doesnt let them fall. He isnt safe here, not with him, not anymore.
"........ fine. If that's how you feel, fine. I'll go back to base, tell Bad he is the blue leader now, and none of you will see me again. I'll leave it all to you guys. I tried. I did my best. I hope you save them Phil."
Phil is silent while Tubbo turns and walks off. With his back turned and a good distance away, tubbo allows the tears to fall. He can't do this anymore. He will leave a book for bad that explains what he found, that he is now the leader, and that he is going off on his own and none of them should come looking for him. He is going on his own exile, his team of one. It's the best for everyone if he just... stays away.

PROPAGANDA
FLORA REINHOLD (PROFESSOR LAYTON)
1.) I MEAN WHERE DOES ONE START!
Okay so in the first game (curious village) she's locked in a tower, cut off from civalisation because her dad died and he wants her to find a worthy suitor. Not a suitor her age, a suitor who's nice just a suitor who can solve lots of puzzles. Flora is so ill equipped for the real world because of her father. AND her dad definately set up this marrage trap when she was under 10. I mean it's a woman who's left in a tower for a worthy suitor. She's not even trusted to go into town alone! The town is full of clockwork people! No one is even real!
Then in the next game she's left behind because mystery solving is just to much for her dainty self! So she sneaks on after them, claiming she doesnt, "want to be left all alone again". In the same game she's kidnapped, has her identity stolen and no one notices because her only characterisation is she likes pretty things and then when they finally do notice and find out she was abandoned in a barn no one cares! SHE'S IMMEDIATELY LEFT ALL ALONE AGAIN. :(
In the third game Professor Layton lies to her to give her the slip. He has never lied in the entire series but he lies to her because she couldnt take going on this latest adventure. She's the only character to faint during time travel (which doesnt even make sense) and KEEPS GETTING LEFT ALONE. She's even left in a cage with her kidnapper who's apparently only helping them for Flora. I mean she's deeply uncomfortable when she's caged with him, no one gave her a heads up that she would be caged with him.
She's the only female character with the professor in the main trillogy who isnt a housekeep or secutary and her only characterisation ever is she likes pretty things and cant cook.
Thw writers then go on to make Katrielle's game. A game about the Professor's daughter. Not Flora the person he took into his care this entirely new character. My argument on why she's a victim of mysogony there is they wrote her in outdated form and upon reciving critisism decided to sweep her under the rug and replace her with other characters. >:(
2.) Shafted SO hard because the writer's immediately didn't have any more ideas about what to do with her. She was set up as a mysterious character in her first appearance, and actually had plot relevance and a lot of potential moving forward. (Light PL spoilers)
However! In the next game, the main character just immediately leaves her at home to 'keep her safe', despite bringing a boy younger than her with him. She follows them, gets to join their investigation for all of about maybe an hour of gameplay, and then is promptly kidnapped unceremoniously, and literally locked in a barn for the rest og the game. When the other characters realise she is missing, they do literally nothing and don't go to collect her until the next day DURING THE GAME'S CREDITS.
In the next game, and the final one of the trilogy she appears in, the main character and his apprentice (once again, a boy younger than her) literally run away from her whilst she's making them sandwiches. Just so they don't have to bring her along. She's also kidnapped AGAIN, and does absolutely nothing about it (doesn't even attempt to struggle) so that the main character can come in and save her. :|
Additionally, she's never put in any side material set in the right time frame for her to be there, including not even being MENTIONED in the spin-off sequel (although that game is weird about what references it makes anyway), except for the movie, where she's in it to once again be told to stay behind, and she gets a single word long line.
A lot of people come out of these games complaining that Flora has no personality, because the writer's were apparently so determined to keep her off-screen that it was easy for people to question what kind of a character she even is. (She has one, they just don't show it often enough.)
3.) She is constantly left behind and treated like a little girl even though she's older than Luke, while he is respected as Layton's apprentice. They don't even eat her sandwiches :( They also have a running joke of her being really bad at cooking, but that's literally the only thing they let her do! She also gets kidnapped TWICE (that is, every game she's in but the first one) and the first time she gets impersonated by the bad guy and NO ONE NOTICES for most of the game.
Also in the Japanese version she's "of marriageable age" and apparently really wants to marry Layton when she's older… and that's one of her key character traits in that version. She has a really cool backstory but after the first game she's reduced to "girl whining about how they leave her behind all the time". It's like they wanted to fridge her but realized they couldn't do that to a little girl.
AGENT SOUTH DAKOTA (RED VS BLUE)
1.) She literally got shot in the head and then her body was blown up for shooting someone in the back (who didn't even die - and as a way to save herself from dying) for comparison Wash (a dude) literally killed one of the main cast members (Donut - he ended up living later but he was like at deaths door and survived pure will) for no reason other that to prove that he was serious about killing them and he gets seasons long redemption arcs
2.) she's portrayed as an arrogant, aggressive, incompetent, savage bitch with zero character depth or thoughts to her motivation

I think Bad's decent pvp but I do feel like some people overhype his abilities too much because I remember arguing with friends that he's not that great pvp-wise when they try to say that blue had pvpers more specifically Bad so blue team had no issues in comparison to red team's players wise
yep people definitely overinflate his abilities. some are acting like blue is insanely cracked when phil and foolish both have good shots at killing bad (phil got etoiles down to lower hearts before), and carre can take him out pretty easily. and of course green has better pvpers with roier and etoiles (not sure about fit). this isnt to victimize blue, tubbo and bbh are a good tag team, but they're not an unstoppable force. the only difference is that bad really enjoys pvp.
a lot of bad's pvp-oriented friends make fun of him for his skill because he's average when it comes to top players. hes a jack of all trades, master of none type minecraft player, and he really excels at just survivability and quick-thinking. i could go on about the intricacies of his strengths and weaknesses LOL but ive been doing that for years now. either way, it makes him a very fun player to watch because he feels very balanced.
edit: ALSO the conversation is completely different at 1.8 pvp and bow fights. he is MUCH stronger there, im talking about general 1.9 pvp.
