#hmm i wonder why

[melverie]

currently thinking about Satan in nightbringer vs in the original

thinking about how in nightbringer he's always outside HoL when he wants to be alone since the others are always in the library + they keep chaining him to his bed, so he most likely doesn't feel safe in his own room to begin with

how Asmo keeps trying to invade his personal space (asking to do his hair, nails etc.) and doesn't take the hint, and how Lucifer casted a spell on Satan so he physically could not leave his side for a while, and how he's never really allowed the time to properly work through his emotions

that dinner party where the others all started talking about the Celestial Realm until Satan eventually stormed off

the way he describes being in their presence as torture and refuses to see them as his brothers, yet he's instantly calm around MC because they treat him decently

how the others kept complaining over how the demons of the Devildom were treating them-how they were discriminated against because they're fallen angels-yet they keep on treating Satan, the only full-fledged demon of HoL, like some feral animal that has to be put down in two days

currently thinking about how the very first thing we learn about Satan in the original is that he masks his emotions

him saying that he loves to go on walks alone and how he gets to meet all kinds of different people that way

thinking about how he's usually in the library instead of his room

when they were all up in the human world and the other brothers were outside stargazing, meanwhile Satan stayed inside. And when asked about it by Lucifer, he claimed it was because he wanted to read before offhandedly mentioning that they're reminiscing about the Celestial Realm and he won't understand any of it anyway

he now gets along better with all of his brothers and yet, when the two of them got lost once, he told MC that there's no need to worry, because his brothers would come looking for them, making it a point to add that they wouldn't search for him

that time Satan ran away to the human world and Levi, Asmo (arguably the two brothers closest to him) and MC came to bring him back. How he started getting angry at one of their questions, so they opted for running away instead of even attempting to comfort him in any way

how his first response after Lucifer told him to leave HoL was to actually pack his things; how he was fully intent on leaving, and how when MC comes to check on him, he instantly tells them that his brothers would never stop him from leaving, that they think it's funny

the way he seemed genuienly surprised when MC accepted after he asked them out to the dance, and then admitting he actually thought that they wouldn't want to go with him

MC being his main source for comfort, and Satan even calling them his sanctuary. How before MC it was books and cats; his room being filled to the brim with books, to the point it's become a safety hazard, and him always carrying cat treats with him

currently thinking about how Satan's first instict whenever he gets angry is to isolate himself, if possible even lock himself up in his room for days on end and how his brothers don't seem to pay it much attention (Levi once said that they already had a shut-in, they don't need another one). And how he doesn't even necessarily need to give into his wrath, how simply getting worked up over something someone else said is enough for him to isolate himself

also thinking about the whole idea of 'you become the person that would have saved you when you were younger' and how Satan in the og game is literally so full of love and very kind, patient and compassionate when given the chance to fully be himself

#you can also tell from some of his dialog in both games that he's just incredibly lonely #i just wanna hug him for eternity and tell him that everything will be okay :( #but fr the others literally keep chaining him up and then ask themselves why his behavior seems to be getting worse #hMm I wOnDeR wHy #also i'm not 100% sure about him avoiding his room in the og game #but every scene I can think of where he WAS actually in his room was because he needed something from there #anyway i'm probably misremembering some things I mentioned #obey me #obey me satan #;mel's analyses #mel's starry musings

Michael: walks towards Evan with open arms

Evan: moves out of the way

Michael: Hey why'd you move?

Evan: Weren't you going to attack me?

Michael: I was going to hug you-

Evan: Why would you hug me?

Michael: WHY WOULD I ATTACK YOU??

Decided to poke at For You.

So far, it's mostly FFXIV with a smattering of Kakashi and Zutara.

...then it shows me Zukka.

I hate Zukka.

Why show me Zukka?

Katara gets shat on, her emotional growth is foisted onto Sokka, all so two dicks can touch.

Get that shit outta here.

#i like me some m/m pairs #bit this one ain't it #and it's legit because it's typically couched in a lot of sexism #plus you never see the colonizer accusations tossed at them the way they do at zutara #hmm i wonder why #anti zukka

I always find it interesting the American adaptions of anime tend to cast to the racial dynamics of some suburb in Kansas and not say the multiracial places I grew up in despite so many people in this country complaining about how everything is set here.

#hmm i wonder why #bnha #my hero academia #listen there's a japanese american community in cali and hawaii and chicago I believe #if you must make an american My Hero why intentionally cast like this

Not to start ~drama but I listen to Backchat (the Aus podcast that interviewed Daniel) and on todays episode the host said that he wasn’t a big fan of Lando before the Dutch GP but after spending the weekend being hosted by McLaren he is even less of a fan. Wonder what caused that…

I'm sorry but I was laughing so hard when the bedroom scene dropped and people on twitter were complaining saying "we wasted the vote"

And then the Elmax scene dropped and was 10x drier

#love that we got both of them #but people were so angry about us getting another byler scene #hmm i wonder why #anyways i never wanna hear another non byer #they're annoying #byler #byler tumblr #will byers #mike wheeler #byler season 4 #also i enjoyed both and never expected a full script in the first place #i knew they'd be editing that shit down

Regarding the RWBY finale

Everybody is talking about the flower symbology and how is represents the girls. Which, of course, it does.

But there aren't four colors in that image, there are five.

Just an observation.
