Ok ok not to put more attention on that Google doc but also why did they highlight this text specifically
What about the phrase "transtrender dysphoria blues" needed to specifically be highlighted? How does it relate to this doc at all? Is the maker of this truscum? What is up with this? This has been in the back of my head all this time, the only detail I actively remember from this doc. Why this post? Why is it a problem from their perspective? Why is this in the middle of a bunch of bad faith accusations?
I will not deny, due to being busy and procrastinating, I’m a week late to starting the new Black Butler season, but now I have and I can confidently say I love the adaptation
The visuals are SO GORGEOUS overall
I recently found out the storyboards & direction for the ending theme were done by artist okazakiokaa and as usual they delivered! A great fan of their work(≧∇≦)
The opening theme and the foreshadowing and symbolism in it were also well done. The contemptuous look Ciel has right at very end… he looks so cool 🥹
As I was watching, the scenes with the stained glass for the P4 kept catching my eyes. The details for each of them look emaculate!
This entire sequence in Ep 2 was originally just official artworks for the manga, but I like how cloverworks utilized it for the recap scene. The paint-like style they went for it looks amazing too
The character designs & general art direction are a mixture between Yana Toboso’s current art style & also Cloverworks adding their own flare and honestly I like how everyone looks!
[Perhaps in another world I would’ve been an Edgar simp…]
[THE iconic scenes]
[I can not deny, Maurice’s visuals are on point. Too bad this winsome face masks a wicked character]
[As I was watching I suddenly remembered that as a kid I used to simp for Harcourt lmao 😭. I can’t say my preferences for designs have changed… I still lean towards this haircut and blonde characters 😓
Anyway… I feel so bad him, especially given the… tragedy he is subjected to later on 😭]
[I look forward to Soma’s scenes ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶. Tho I predict a bittersweet feeling enveloping my heart in the coming episodes ❤️🩹]
All in all, the Public School arc is one of my top faves and I very much enjoy the adaptation so far. Cloverworks did an amazing job and it’s clear a lot of hard work has been put in to adapt the source. I look forward to the rest!
His tragedies are the rawest, most gut-wrenching, and visceral pieces in pre-modern drama. His Oedipus is so fucking gnarly and it's my favorite thing ever written
I think he's super underrated as an innovator of form and genre. Between his Epistulae Morales and his tragic corpus, he was really just fucking around in the coolest way
Jerome Propaganda:
While it gets kinda paraphrastic, the Vulgate a really cool work in the history of translation, and its simple style is really clear and balanced
Describes the occurrence and cure of a sever vitamin A deficiency in the Life of Saint Hilarion, which is pretty fucking cool
Worked on onomastica, which would frankly be my personal hell, but it shows that he was brave and had the patience of, well, a saint
i can’t help but think FR as a whole has become more money hungry. it seems like they’re trying to change the game to a more fast-paced game, with constant new breeds, constant events, constant genes so people are more pressured to spend money so they can get the new next thing. ancients not having apparel also feels like a way to funnel a need for the expensive, one time use, and simplest items on FR: genes. so many of these new ancients are beyond boring for what they’ve been marketed as, and the only way to fix them is with genes (usually gem genes). the fact that all the genes won’t transfer from Ancient to Ancient feels like it reinforces this point. why on earth are the genes not transferable from ancient to ancient. the genes aren’t super specific either. blossom is a gene that fits on all of these ancients. veilspuns not having veils as a tert is silly. yes i get that they might slowly add the genes to the other breeds gene pool but??? why not release the gene for all breeds at the same time?? it feels like a marketing tactic to revisit interest for a breed that has already been out for while. i get it, flightrising is a business. but it’s just become ridiculous at how much they’re pushing for mid-tier updates just to build hype. they need quality control. it feels like the game became greedy af. i hope they figure out their shit before more people get tired of it
