q!BBH's Desert Lore is eerily similar to a scene in Salad Fingers Episode 10 "Birthday" ─ and other coincidences
WARNING: Salad Fingers is a gore web series. Therefore, All pictures here are going to be censored as to not havily disturb anyone. The links for the original pictures will be listed at the end for whoever wants to see them in full.
While reading this, its good to keep in mind that cc!Bad has made references to gorey underground web series before, such as "Llamas With Hats". Therefore, it wouldn't be a big stretch for him to have used Salad Fingers as inspiration for his character's lore, or as reference.
Also huge huge huge thanks to @demodraws0606 for listening to my insane thoughts and helping me w this go give them some love !!
Tumblr media
On the day 26/nov/2023, Badboyhalo opened stream in the desert for the last time. Most people started comparing this scene to the Pinkie Pie birthday scene. But i could not help but think "huh, this reminds me of that salad fingers scene. I might be insane". so i went to look and.....:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
U can't say they arent similar. An immense desert with a clouded sky and a wooden table with 6 places, which are taken by copies of the main character. The only difference is, besides the obvious gore, that one of the chairs is empty for q!BBH, while all are taken in Salad Fingers.
Another simmilarity is that Salad Fingers tries to interact with the clones, but just as q!BBH's, they neither aknowlege him nor respond.
Demo noticed how the scenery is really similar between the two:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Despite all this, the episode has no narrative connection to q!BBH's lore. It revolves around Hubert Cumberdale's (a finger puppet created by Salad) and, later on, Salad Finger's birthdays. Generally, i understood it is about the passage of time, together with childbirth/motherhood.
But, right before this scene, still on episode 10, Salad Fingers goes to the doctor. Eventually the focus changes, and the doctor is now examinating a horse while Salad Fingers watches. The horse seems to represent Salad Finger's child. When q!BBH lost his memory, he kept talking obsessively about taking Dapper to the doctor.
Another curious coincidence is that, on the same episode and same scene as the table, "Birthday", Salad Fingers is gifted a tophat as his birthday gift:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Demo pointed out, aswell, how on epidsode 13, named "Harvest" salad fingers is walking through the deserted wasteland towards a glowing circle in the sky (the Sun). During the first desert stream, q!BBH is seen walking towards the Sun aswell. Here are some screencaps from said Salad Fingers episode:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The "Edge of Forever" name is also funny considering q!Forever's and q!Bad's close friendship. But i personally think the usage of the word "forever" is only a coincidence. Or it could be related to q!Bad's immortality, the Edge of Forever, than, being where bbh goes to be reincarnated.
On the end of this same episode, "Harvest", Salad Fingers dies and is substituted by Boy Fingers, who is essentially a clone of Salad. This might be relevant, regarding q!BBH possibly dying, but i dont really know how to fit this into a complete theory. Although, since Salad dies from being boiled in a soup and consumed by Boy Fingers, there might be some connection to q!Bad's theme of gluttony.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The way both Salad Fingers and amnesiac Q!Badboyhalo behave also overlaps a bit. The constant jumping from subject to subject, a certain level of innocence and naiveness, a detachment from reality and unacknowledgement of death and violence.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Overall, the themes that Salad Fingers explores ─ birth, motherhood, fatherhood, conflituous familial relationships, some may say xenofobia or racism, and the 1st World War ─ arent at all related to q!Bad's story. I don't believe cc!Bad used Salad Fingers for anything other than inspiration ─ if it was even used. But, i still found all of this curious and interesting, and i wanted to share with all of you.
If u have any thoughts, feel free to share them! I personally am not a fan of gore, so i haven't seen all of Salad Fingers. This is another reason i'm writing this, so ppl that know more than me can share what they think.
Ty sm for taking ur time and reading this !!!

let's talk about the fish/water/christ symbolism in the game of kings. with spoilers
fish (as ιχθυς) is an acronym for christ, and it's the first food jesus eats after being resurrected, right? it symbolizes rebirth, life, and christ himself. i personally think fish are slippery and cold-blooded too, but that's neither here nor there.
now look at how the game of kings starts: "lymond is back". we immediately know this book is about returning, it's about rebirth. in fact, the first thing we see is the man himself submerged in a body of water and coming out on the other side, after a baptism of sorts, as the character he will play for most of the book: lymond the outlaw, lymond the traitor.
the first words out of his mouth are "i am a narwhal": he identifies himself as a fish right away, and not just any fish but the unicorn fish; the unicorn of course being scotland's national animal. in perspective, he tells us everything we need to know about him: his status as a christ figure, his destiny to be reborn, his complicated relationship with his country.
the next time he's in a body of water, it's the second chapter and he's dying from a head injury in a bog. he's washed clean, this time, too: from his own identity. he's free to inhabit another character from the lymond constellation. it's also pretty funny that he's found by sym while he's going fishing ("you’ve hooked a twenty-pounder this time, my lad"), and he's nursed back to health by someone named Christian. not subtle.
lymond seems to be pretty into this whole fish and rebirth thing, does he not? he wouldn't lie to us. he wouldn't pretend to embrace life while actively seeking death, right? anyway, no relation at all, when the baby queen mary tries feeding him a fish he pretends to eat it and secretly throws it away. the fish is described as struggling and barely alive, which again i am sure is a coincidence.
then some stuff happens, and the next time lymond is offered fish he doesn't have it in him to keep pretending. he doesn't want the damn fish. newsflash, asshole (richard): he really, really wants to die. this is my favorite scene for many reasons, and one of them is the perfect juxtaposition of its literal and symbolic meanings: richard says he wants to see lymond hanged, but what he does is to drag him away from the tomb-like dovecote and towards running water, makes him eat the damn fish again and again until the miracle is complete. he's holding on to his brother with both hands and teeth before he even realizes he's doing it.
when it comes to an end the fish is off the hook, christ is off the cross and for once he's not sacrificed for the sins of others, and we close on him in his mother's arms in a beautiful literary pietà.
there's so much stuff i purposefully didn't mention and probably didn't notice, this is just a tiny example of the gorgeous figurative and thematic cohesion in this novel. i love it. thank you dorothy dunnett.

thoughts on episode 5:
when luffy returns fire on garp's ship, it was hilarious to see garp burst out into disbelieving laughter. i understand that they're leaning into the awful parent aspect of his character in this, but it's also funny seeing him unable to hide that he's actually a little proud of luffy. like hey, if you're going to be a pirate, at least you're a good one
the baratie is absolutely gorgeous! as soon as the first pictures came out last year, i was so excited to see it in person, and it did not disappoint. i especially love the little floating patios they have outside, as well as the floating docks. i would love to eat there!
mihawk is finally introduced! i love that we get to see him fighting off don krieg. i can understand why they would cut out krieg's part from the baratie arc, but as with other plot points they've cut out of the past few episodes, i like that they gave a little nod to it anyways. also, garp being the one to call mihawk on luffy gives a logical reason for mihawk to be at the restaurant on the same day as the straw hats, instead of it being an entire coincidence.
zoro and the others ribbing nami after sanji hits on her is hilarious, it feels so accurate to how actual friend groups behave. they're such children! sanji overall seems a lot more likable in this than he is in the manga, i really like him!
the scene where sanji and luffy are talking about the all blue and luffy invites sanji to join his crew is really sweet! sanji's already looking at luffy like he's head over heels for him, and that's one thing i think the cast captured really well - just how utterly adored luffy is by his crew.
when luffy tells zeff about sanji feeding Gin, and Zeff just smiles and says "he's a good kid" i just about melted. i love that he refuses to be nice to sanji's face, but is really unapologetically proud of his son behind his back.
koby's conversation with garp was well played out. i'm a little iffy about koby's character arc this season though. it seems like a good set-up for the doe-eyed, naive, kid who knows nothing about the world to realize that the organization he looks up to to protect the innocents of the world is nothing but a sham, and for him to go his own separate way, but we know that can't happen. i've always been of the opinion that koby would make a much better revolutionary than a marine tbh, and this series is bringing that out full force. but at the same time, i think i really like garp's message that yeah, the world isn't fair and it's so grating that they have to put up with the double standards inherent in a group like the seven warlords, but that at the end of the day they have to believe that the marines are doing more good by taking down dangerous pirates than the bad they're doing by turning around to the doings of the seven warlords. one piece has always done a good job at moral ambiguity, and it shows in the live action as well
also, another aspect of this conversation that i liked was garp explaining to koby that he could have been fleet admiral by now if he really wanted to, but that doing so would mean him having to compromise on his values (and for those of us who follow the manga/anime, we know that more specifically relates to taking orders from the celestial dragons), and that doing so would mean having to give up his freedom. it's a great line, because it calls back to luffy's attitude of being a pirate means having freedom. you can see that luffy and garp are both the result of taking the same ideology to different extremes. it's easy to see how they're related, and how garp's ideals had an impact as well, in the same way that shanks did.
"you could never fail me" 🥺🥺🥺 i like how iñaki played this scene. there's still a lot of room for him to grow as an actor, but i like him as luffy, and i can't wait to see his career after this. i hope we can get more seasons, so we can see him become the luffy he was always meant to be

pit babe ep 7 thoughts
Tumblr media
brain go brrrrrr
[- kinda unrelated but i've now watched boys journey and this entire cast is sooooo lovable and passionate. it makes me appreciate the work they put in so much more. i have to apologise to north and sonic simply because michael and topten are so sweet. funny coincidence that i actually thought their scene was hilarious this week]
- charlie really seems like he's come to terms with the fact that he might die because of tony/ their plan. he was so quick to tell babe he'd die for him (and i don't think it was tactical in a "he'd never say yes so i can use this to make him feel bad about it" kind of way) and was barely fazed by jeff's vision. like, this boy's #1 mission is to keep babe safe at this point. pretty fucked up but..... uwu
- i already said this in a text post but oh my god there HAS to be some kind of backstory to pete's infatuation with way. that was not the way someone behaves around a work acquaintance or someone you had a couple of drinks with. like, the way he looked at him 👁️👄👁️ WHAT DOES IT MEAN. did he legit admire him from afar when they still lived at tony's........ tell me everything
- kim's/ benz's manicured nails YES LORD they look so pretty. the duality is insane. i love everything about him. idk if it's a stereotype re: korean people in thailand (the honor/ pride theme) or what but i keep rooting for him harder and harder each episode. he truly does not take anyone's shit. he's legit willing to die for his principles and i appreciate that. didn't think our first kenta/kim encounters would be like this but i'll fucking take it. they can tend to each other's wounds, emotional and physical
- so. alpha/enigma breeding facility. human trafficking. ORGAN HARVESTING. tony really is a jack of all trades. have i mentioned that i hate how hot he is
- the charlie/babe encounter at the mansion KILLED ME. pavel does despair so, so well. i'm still not over the lip wobble and charlie's shock. like that boy was wholly unprepared for that scenario. he legit couldn't form a single coherent thought. relatable.
- everybody was so focused on the mpreg (😁) that i barely saw anyone talk about how jeff is also meant to be sold off at the auction 😭 charlie and kenta are keeping his location under wraps but like....... is tony that disconnected from xhunter...... like, jeff's gotta be in the background of one of sonic and north's videos right
- the toothbrush ad with way's depressed face and fake smile KILLED ME like these sponsors will really sign off on anything
- babe breaking down ripped me apart like. i don't wanna talk about it. i don't wanna think about it. him blaming himself for trusting someone for once in his life............ fuck. if it weren't for the FUCKING hypnotism, way would've done an alright job comforting him. had to stumble at the finish line as always, huh (nut is so good)
- babe waking up from his nap looking like a rumpled baby chick tore me to pieces. that is my sweetest, loveliest boy.
- the confrontationnnnnnnnnnnn. i feel like a lot more could've been said (charlie...... use your words.....) but i'm making my peace with it happening off-screen. that aside, i loved their back and forth and babe's emotional turmoil and charlie's desperation but also calmness. like, charlie is set on his goals and he wants babe there with him but he'll attempt to take down tony no matter what. he has intrinsic motivators but his love for babe is a driving force as well.
- mpreg! mpreg! mpreg! i, too, want to breed babe's pussy. but if i can't, at least charlie shoots his cumshot every chance he gets
- charlie's backstory 😞 God, no wonder all of tony's kids are so emotionally complicated. babe and way are "too" emotionally volatile, charlie and jeff are "too" closed-off.
- idk what is is about the intimacy between charliebabe but i don't ever get sick of it. i could watch them make out or trade little pecks for hours and never get bored. there's just always that drop of devotion and ~getting lost in each other that i adore more than anything else.
- that being said, charlie having a comeback with the mommy/daddy kink mere minutes after he told babe that he was at risk of being forcibly impregnated SENT ME. girl your timing 😭 keep that knot down
- just a little thing but i loooooove love love how messy the back of charlie's head always gets whenever he and babe make out like. the hands keep handsing hard. puppy.
- OK listen. i was willing to tolerate the friendship revival between babe and way at least partially but WHICH SANE PERSON. brings red roses to a dinner the literal day they're under the impression that their best friend is going through heartbreak. like. CAN YOU BE NORMAL. CAN YOU JUST BE A FRIEND. planning to shoot your shot when you know your bestie is emotionally devastated is sooo vile (affectionate) (i love nut too much to seriously hate way but it's a close call)
- riding dick in a convertible. i am so sorry to say that no other show has ever been this consistently iconic. i need the fucking boxset. and i need that scene (minus the soundtrack) tattooed to the insides of my eyelids. babe was really throwing it back in the middle of a random street. AND it was charlie's idea. "let me help you relieve stress" but babe's the one bouncing on it......... the powerbottom/pillowprincess dilemma
- sorry to keep harping on this but when babe had to grip the headrest while breathing like that....... pavel you're so sick and twisted
- alan being the voice of the masses as always. also......... sailub in tanktops or w/e is my weakness
- sonic and north gossiping like that KILLED ME like. babe was on the other side of the glass door the entire time kings 😭 north..... i'm sorry to say those slaps and punches were deserved
- THE PREVIEW. jeff overhearing tony and (possibly) way??? the destroyed hotel room with blood on the mirror? charlie throwing himself in front of babe to protect him as always?????? DOMESTIC ALANJEFF? whose mansion is that..... is alan that loaded? or is that someone's safehouse??? northsonic developments? way being a little bitch? winner with a GUN? charliebabe trying to escape...... a hotel while dressed like they work at a casino? what isn't happening next week holy fuck
also the outtakes...... pavel ☹️ you did so well
tl;dr: still so fucking glad i get to experience this weekly. the FUN. the ANXIETY. the HORNINESS. i love it here.

Buckle up people, I’m about to tell you who’s this season’s killer
It’s Donna.
Why, you might ask? Nothing up to this point actually let to her, right? Wrong!
Have you ever seen that musical, The Producers?
The Producers’ plot is really simple. There’s this guy Max Bialystock, who - with help from this other guy, Leopold Bloom - scheme a plan of how to make 2 million dollars in profit from a total and utter disaster of a play. They think of this amazing five stages of a plan, which only the first two will be useful for us.
Step One: Find the worst play ever written.
Step Two: Find the worst director in town.
So, what does it mean for us?
Death Rattle (the play) is this ridiculous murder mystery where the main suspect is a baby. It’s, it’s just ridiculous, right? Step one speaks for itself.
Okay, but what about step two?
We know that there were at least two directors signed for this play: Jerry Blau and Oliver Putnam. Now, I’m not a critic, but I do have a feeling like both of them can be seen as a disasters just waiting to happen. We’re talking about people who are either a) living in the theater cause they’re broke and too proud to go back home, b) director of Splash! The Musical (2005). Like I said, not a critic, but doesn’t seem like a money making machine for me.
Okay, but what about it? It might as well be a coincidence that it fits, right? Wrong.
There are two real life people cameos in this season - opposed to last two ones, where we got just one per each. This time, we got this silly little guy, (who’s extremely talented and funny) Matthew Broderick, and this other silly guy (who’s more famous and more accomplished than any other star cameo in the series) Mel Brooks. What do they have to do with it, you might ask?
Well, it’s time to skip to the year of our lord 2001, and the Broadway premiere of The Producers, whom were written by silly guy number two, Mel Brooks. It had an amazing cast, everyone was so talented, and later nominated for Tony’s. One of which, was this silly guy number one, Matthew Broderick, for the role of Leo Bloom. Unfortunately, he lost in his category to his co-star, our own Teddy Dimas, Nathan Lane, who’s suspiciously absent from this season (sure, he was having some other, Broadway related play gig, but hey).
And you might say, okay, they got Broderick, and what? Well, let me tell you: not every show got a chance of Mel Brooks’ cameo. I mean, come on, Broderick has an incredible filmography and stage career, why The Producers out of all of them? Why Mel Brooks?
Okay, so you might ask now, if you’re still not convinced: what was her motive? What, was it money? That doesn’t make sense! And you’d be right. I think, that her motive was something far more important to her: Cliff, her son.
Up until last Tuesday I was convinced she wanted Death Rattle to fail. I mean, that was meant to be Cliff’s debut, and if it would turned out to be a hit, he would most probably leave her - or so she thought he would, so she poisoned the cookies, and left them for show’s biggest name, knowing Ben wouldn’t resist to try them.
But now I know, or at least suspect, that that’s not the case, thanks to one scene from this week’s episode.
While in the bathroom, Donna did said to Loretta, that a mother would do everything to protect her child; now, we were meant to be focused on Loretta and her struggle, but what if there’s more to that scene? What if she wanted her son to succeed, and the show to be a hit, but sensed that Ben Glenroy was a threat to not even her, but her baby, and his Broadway debut?
This week’s episode was about mother who was able to confess to a crime she didn’t commit, just so she could protect her baby. I think that this seasons murderer is a mother, who committed said crime, just so she could protect her baby.

did you know that negaduck from darkwing duck was based off reverse-flash? yeah, that doesnt even BEGIN to describe what's actually been going on between their character histories..
Tumblr media Tumblr media
first, negaduck wasnt just inspired by or a reverse-flash parody. he's a literal copy-paste of silver age thawne with a very few changes of origin place from future to parallel universe and identity from some random future guy to main hero's evil twin, because originally eobard was fixated on being a Criminal and not particularly flash's nemesis. back in the day, thawne constantly mentions how much he loves his criminal life. half of his lines are negaduck-worthy purely because the rest is related to being a speedster scientist. my personal favorite as an example:
Tumblr media
he passes the speed limit law in central city so that barry couldnt use superspeed without breaking it but thawne still could because he is 'a hardened criminal'. he invents rays that turn everything inflicted evil (something even negaduck has never done (ig solely because megavolt's already done it in the negaduck episode where he accidentally splits darkwing into good dw (posiduck) and bad dw(negaduck, with a black and gray color scheme), and while yellow negaduck is a different character this is basically how the idea of him was born and the writers just decided to keep him in a different form bc the gray one merged back into normal dw at the end which is super funny. imagine coming up with a duck villain and going 'oh this guy actually reminds me a lot of reverse-flash with all that opposite/negative thing. LET'S PAINT HIM IN THOSE COLORS AND GIVE HIM THE SAME PERSONALITY AND SIMILAR ORIGIN THIS TIME'), altho he DOES test the power gem on a cat in jail bird like thawne did with evil rays). he repeatedly tries to get poor former dr alchemy back to crime just because 'crime fun. why cant you see that. im doing it for your own good' and negaduck tried something like that with morgana in feb 14th episode my valentine ghoul (+that brief scene with gos from 2016 comics run where he believes she must be bad deep down inside out of comparsion to nega!gosalyn). negaduck also travels from a whole other world just to fuck around here for fun (there was this bronze age flash issue called flashback where thawne gets lost in the timestream because barry pushed the wrong buttons in his time capsule which is almost exact negaduck's fate in life, the negaverse and everything) and one of another few differences related is that negaduck is shown to be a dictator of his universe's St. Canard who is bored to live somewhere he already has all the power so he travels to another universe to cause problems on purpose.
second. dc's new52. eobard is rewritten again, now he and zoom are kind of one character. but guess what else is new in this version that never happend neither in zoom or professor zoom's lives? thawne is a fucking dictator in his own time. and people tried to fight his rule in flash's name just like friendly four needed darkwing as inspiration to finally fight back for their world.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
he gets his own team, acolytes of zoom (i wish i could call them local fearsome 4 but there are 5 of them, making it more of a sinister 6 if you count thawne) which he trains for centuries to fight the flash and betrays later by trying to steal their powers just like negaduck stole f4's in jail bird to become mega-negaduck and if all that wasnt enough, without the mask he straight up looks like negaduck humanization. look at him. this mf is only missing a hat and a cape.
Tumblr media
also these sudden black parts in his new speedster suit design? either it is some absolute fucking bonkers of a coincidence or someone on the flash writing team really went 'hey guys you know what would be real funny? lets base new thawne off negaduck. like he was originally based off thawne. i swear no one will notice' and everyone went with that. (i could also mention he has the same dumb motivation for being evil (having shitty childhood/being deep down sad about mistreatment and loneliness) as 2011 dwd comics run negaduck but imo that's too far of a stretch to actually be included)
third. yall know the deal of the first season of cw's the flash? yeah, what if i told you the whole thawne messes with the particle accelerator and causes barry to gain superspeed thing already fucking happend in darkwing duck, episode going nowhere fast?
Tumblr media
(the way i lost my mind over this back in the day when i decided to watch dwd just because negaduck reminded me of thawne(i didnt even know he was a direct rip-off, i just went 'oh wait dt universe has this evil fuck that wears the same color scheme as reverse-flash? girl i AM checking the whole thing out just to see if he's anything like thawne'.) and first watched the episode... priceless, still haunts me to this very day. how the hell was that written in 1991. did cw writers just take the idea from dwd too. honestly i cant be sure about anything anymore).
and remember in the duck knight returns (2011 comics run arc) flashbacks there was a super funny thing with negaduck not knowing dw's secret identity and being so proud he cracked the case? remember cw!og!thawne looking for flash's time period and not knowing his identity in 2nd season cameo episode? what the hell was even up with that!!! like guys. guys one of you is the most devoted flash fan from the future and there is NO way none of that kind of information was left a CENTURY after (i mean come on dude couldntve you just asked gideon. she literally had that 2024 newspaper about vanishing and thats at the very least not mentioning she was created by barry) and another is straight up the same fucking person as the hero with the same fucking relatives and enemies. idk take a wild guess??? ((i really wonder if anybody on the wirting team of 2011 dwd run saw not just life, the negaverse and everything but any episode featuring negaduck at all. not only do they ignore the existence of nega!gos in the 'oh he mean bc alone :(' approach, they ignore the very definition of negaduck's character which is literally evil drake mallard. i mean sure hes dumb and may miss obvious clues because of being the same dw just evil but come on, such a comedic situation and never addressed by drake whos literally been in the negaverse and knows they are the same person or by anyone else he coluldve told that? oh well unless drake is also dumb af and thought there never was any drake mallard in the negaverse in the first place and that negaduck is some other guy. which is a real probability i suppose))
also. negaduck's death by being split on billions of evil particles in crisis on infinite darkwings and thawne, being 'exorcised' from nash's body in a form of a negative speed force stream with sparks in 6x15 of cw's the flash.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
fourth! yall did watch ducktales 2017 reboot, right? specifically the duck knight returns episode? they introduce a whole new version of negaduck there! and guess what. jim starling, an old darkwing duck (in-universe 90s tv series) actor obsessed with his role, goes fucking nuts because there is a new darkwing duck actor in a new movie and he didnt even know. because he feels forgotten. because no one remembers neither him nor original series (objectievely not true bc obviously launchpad and drake but to jim they just dont count bc reasons. he seems to count only children but calls lp his fan when anthagonizes drake for taking even that from him in the end). because he was replaced and no one even bothered to tell him. he causes a fire on the set, almost kills drake but does have a change of heart at the end after launchpad's speech about what darkwing duck stands for and seemingly sacrifices himself to save drake and lp from the explosion. then they have the worst idea they could have in relation to jim's character ever: for drake to be a real life darkwing duck to honor jim's sacrifice. so naturally he hears that from the sewers or wherever he was hiding to see their reactions(look i am. 100% sure that this is what happened bc that makes so much more sense than jim getting brain damage or whatever from that explosion and waking up to choose violence again for no other reason). he gets hit with the being replacable and forgotten thing once again and renders back to negaduck tendencies, for all we know for good this time as his darkwing suit changes to the yellow-red one. yk who else went on a rampage because he felt forgotten and replaced? you guessed it! the return of barry allen, a 90s classic where thawne goes to 21st century for the first time, thinks he's barry (original-ish flash) because dissociation from trauma of seeing himself being killed by his hero and acts exactly like starling, having the same issues as motivation aka him/barry being forgotten and replaced by wally. he implies wally taking on the flash mantle is most disrespectful to barry. he rants about how he's the only flash and threatens to destroy not only the flash family but the whole central city for forgetting that. he and wally have a conflict of legacy similar to jim and drake's conflict in dt17. he is The starling blueprint only a lot more mentally ill. also we've heard something like the duck knight returns in running scared (this one is less reminiscent of jim but still features some things that werent in the return of barry allen). it's a rebirth arc that introduces another new origin of reverse-flash. now, he's been hyperfixated on barry allen his whole life (on a whole new level i mean) and there was the first meeting in 25th century where they Connected like thawne always believed they would. that day ended up in a fight and thawne's imprisonment because he set up casualties to get attention and praise for being the flash of 25th century but unlike all other versions this thawne has a change of heart after the fight, too. he promises to 'fix everything' including himself, he even goes to therapy afterwards. then he goes to the 21st century to tell barry how much he accomplished since they last met and then sees barry saying to wally one meaningful phrase he said to thawne that perfect day. like it wasnt something special only barry and eobard shared. like the day they met never happened. like he forgot thawne ever existed. like he was replaced as barry's speedster partner/friend/whatever he thought they were after that day by wally. and that shatters thawne so much he runs back to 25th and just decides to become the reverse-flash and make barry suffer until he gives him attention and recognition he deserved. frank angones, i am inside your walls. you CANT deny you based your versions of dw and nd off flash comics and thawne particularly. and more, you legit made reverse!eobarry au and put it in dt in duck forms. i have been losing my mind about it for 3 years now. i am exposing you and there is nothing you can do to escape that.
fifth(ish). yeah, and btw about friendly four from life, the negaverse and everything. did you think they actually escaped being mirrored in the flash? ha. i present to you reverse-rogues from the 25th century aka the renegades, carefully created by zoom and thawne himself, thinking it would somehow be funny.
Tumblr media
cant believe hunter once saw it on tv put 2 and 2 together and went 'eobard my dude we need to go full negaverse with the 25th century. we need a friendly four to your negaduck. i swear it'll be Hilarious'. god the only thing they lack at this point is nega!gosalyn (i mean. hunter actually did try something like that with inertia, saving him from the museum and trying to teach him how to torture flashfam into improving them but thad was more of a nega!honker and reverted hunter to crippled powerless state just because. love that kid)
and that's all i have so far, if anyone here also into both yellow-red mfs with no life feel free to comment or even add more because there sure is or at least will be more and no one has the power to stop it.

been thinking about asuka ren a normal healthy amount ever since she debuted in webtoon and now i realize tumblr is better for compiling all my thoughts on her. so here… are some thoughts, for sure!
first of all… we know so little about her :( the main things are basically: japanese mangaka, creator of peace land, and was present in the group regression in epilogue. mostly she serves as hsy’s foil throughout the peace land arc, and she briefly shows up during the enemy of the story scenario to support kimcom.
but there are a lot of small details that add up to her character, in my opinion… for example, her constellation sponsor is “master of the niten ichi-ryu,” who cannot be anyone but miyamoto musashi himself. this is kind of funny considering how she is unfortunately a wet sock for most of peace land arc except for that scene (…where she doesn’t even use a sword!). what’s even funnier, though, is that miyamoto apparently did ink paintings as well. sometimes i think singshong just gave asuka some random big-name japanese sponsor to cement her status as a leader among them, and sometimes i think about this coincidence. because… is it?! (incidentally, she is mentioned to have/use a katana, but it isn’t specified if she has two. tsk… what’s your dual blades stigma for if you’re not gonna use it, girl?) in addition, her physique and strength were both level 55 during peace land arc, which were pretty high when you compare it to michio’s mid-20 stats. a twitter user got the idea of her being from a family that runs a kendo or judo gym and was going to inherit the dojo someday before she declared she’d become a mangaka, and i haven’t stopped thinking about it ever since.
as for her personality… well, we’re told she’s a leader among the japanese incarnations, but… honestly, does she act like a leader to you…? from what we see of her in peace land, she can be cowardly, easily shaken or attacked, and she put the small people’s lives over her companions’… in short, she’s a little bit pathetic (fond). but then again, that was in peace land, so i guess you can’t blame a girl for being a little shaken up after being confronted with choosing between killing her friends or killing her creations. but we also see her argue with hsy a little over clichés and tropes, and we also see how she spoke out against yamamoto when he declared he’d kill the small people, so that adds up to her being decisive and true to her morals. (also, tangentially related, she calls michio by his first name without honorifics, which is as intimate as you can get. this is cute, personally, because in the ebook he mentions he was a college student before the scenarios, so he could be anywhere from 18-22+ years old, while asuka… is 31. that’s, like, her little brother.)
definitely the most interesting part about her is peace land and her relationship with it, though. because, of course, a creator must have a relationship with their creations! she must have resented her work at some point because of all the critique it got and how it ended up getting canceled so early in its serialization… i wonder how long ago was that before the events of orv, if peace land was her debut manga or her most recent work. if it was somewhere in the middle, then i want to know if she went back to making mainstream content after peace land’s failure just to earn money and if she resented that, too, or if she was prideful enough to try and make more unorthodox manga like it but kept getting shot down anyway. did she lose confidence in her craft… could she no longer find the same joy in creating no matter what she made…
then when tls123 apparently contacted her about it — how cruel must it have been to unknowingly have let someone borrow your setting, thinking your words may have finally reached someone, only to later find out the characters and setting you had put your heart into were turned into cannon fodder for your colleagues. to destroy your own work in order to move forward… what if she considered it for just a moment… after all, if anyone had the right to decide what happened to these people’s lives, it should be her, the one who made them in the first place. but after seeing them with her own eyes, in that panel where the small people are looking up at her, it must have really cemented her decision then. to them, she’s just another disaster here to kill them, but they don’t know she’s technically their god… (maybe that’s also partly why she seemed so agitated when questioning how hsy won over the people’s loyalty so quickly, because who is she to them?)… they don’t know she must have really loved them as she wrote their story. and even if they knew, maybe they would only resent her for bringing this torture upon them anyway… the guilt and resentment and frustration of a failed work but still, still that creator’s love and pride throughout it all. because after all, a writer truly can’t help but love what she has created…
i never really thought about asuka beyond a really stupid fic idea i had for her and hsy, but seeing her in webtoon following the ebook’s revisions really made me appreciate her character more. her feelings towards her work are so complex, even if we don’t see a lot of it, and even worse is that she forgets all about making peace land in the end. she doesn’t just become a character in a bigger story: her narrative has also completely escaped her hands now. but in a way, maybe she’d be happy to know they’re separate from her as she is separate from them, because that means they’re moving forward in their own world line… and not bound by such mortal restraints as the manga serialization being canceled.
man this got long, and this doesn’t even include all the delusions i have for asuka/michio and asuka/izumi. well then, my final message:

Hey remember when I made this
Right after A Soda to Remember
Well I'm doing something like that again but a bit more speculative... Major tinfoil hatting ahead, I went a little crazy with this
TGAMM, Tacos, and Repression
‼️Spoilers for All in the Mind‼️
And like half of season 2 so far
These three are from season 1:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Intro: now I'm probably stretching here but the tacos appear right after he says "is there a way to hit restart" and given the point I'm about to make in this post, this could either age really good or really bad
The Curse: just mentioned (along with the first verbal mention of strawberry soda)
Getting the Band(shell) Back Together: now this isn't technically a taco since it's only a hat and a mention of a (probably fake) convention, but this is the same episode he claims to be a "one named icon" in not long after this scene so... Probably stretching here
Now onto the good stuff
Season 2:
I remember everyone losing their minds over this after the season 2 trailer lol
Tumblr media
This is Principal O'Connor's lunch he stole to sabotage the heist on purpose because he's afraid of confronting his past and won't admit it
There's a SUSPICIOUS emphasis on tacos in All in the Mind (the episode about getting scratch to stop repressing and confront his memories)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Also two things to note in these images is how Empty Scratch's mind is (yeah haha it's a funny joke because he's dumb and all he thinks about is food) and while Molly's trying to pry further to find answers, it starts filling with tacos
Scratch gets distracted from looking for the "ghostly glow" by this box of tacos. Probably just a joke and I'm reading too much into it because he goes right back to helping Molly search after this
What's the point? Tacos only seem to come up in relation to his past life and exploring it whereas strawberry soda was fkin everywhere in season 1
Does this mean anything? Probably not
Is this purely coincidence? Probably
But it's something to think about because idk, I just found it interesting

A bouquet of buttercups, yellow hyacinths and cyclamens VS A bouquet of cockscomb, white poppy, white acacia and pink chrysanthemum
Tumblr media
First, let's talk about the bouquet of buttercups, yellow hyacinths and cyclamen
Meaning and why these flowers were chosen: Buttercups suit him because of their symbolism of hatred and distaste, both of which he is strongly characterized by (especially towards the world at large), and their symbolism of immaturity, which he also often exhibits, though I can’t blame him for being a little childish (and a lot petty). Yellow hyacinths suit him because of their symbolism of jealousy, as he’s jealous and envious towards one attribute his spouse may or may not have and that has long been one of the few things he has that he somewhat values. Cyclamens can represent separation and resignation, and thus suit him because (among other reasons) he ultimately is parted from someone that was very important in his life, and because for related reasons, he had spent all his life resigned to whatever fate he was led into, knowing he could not really choose a path of his own. Description: He’s a funny, foppish pretty boy with a somewhat twisted personality. He is most certainly not doing his best, but he deserves a hug all the same; he was born to be a puppet, with neither his life nor his mind nor his body truly his. Despite the use of dark magic to get him onto the political scene (which he generally regards as worse than useless), he’s only ever wanted to be an artist. He cares so much about physical beauty in everything, which makes a fair bit of sense considering that an appealing outer shell is the best his life could have anyways. He has an apathetic air about him but is easily frustrated; his constant and powerful bitterness leaks out in fits and starts. He has a sadistic streak that was cultivated by his childhood environment. He tends to be treated as a threat, a tool, a sacrifice, or some combination thereof. To be fair, he is quite a threat, just not for his own reasons. He’s been tortured often, both on purpose and incidentally. I’d say he’s absolutely sopping wet but that’d be pretty ironic in this case; regardless, he is a manipulated malewife. He’s also vaguely a-spec and a big mood.
Check his post here
Now, let's talk about the bouquet of cockscomb, white poppy, white acacia and pink chrysanthemum
Meaning and why these flowers was chosen: Cockscomb ("Foppery"; He's very concerned with his appearance. Victorian dandy type beat) White Poppy ("Death and Forgetfulness"; Many of his memories were taken from him shortly before his death) White Acacia ("Friendship"; It's a strange situation, but he'd die (again) for his best friend in the world, who is also his minion) Pink Chrysanthemum ("Cheerfulness in Adversity"; Despite being dead and a partial amnesiac for almost two centuries, nothing gets him down!). Description: This character was alive in Victorian times and a fan of anything aesthetically pleasing, he probably has a much better understanding of flower language than this submitter does! He's the ghost of a prideful magician who's forgotten the words of magic and can't remember how to cast any spells. He wandered the earth as a lonely spirit for decades in the hope of finding a way to access that knowledge again. Through a miraculous (to him) coincidence, he gets to read from a spellbook over the shoulder of a nosy trespasser, and casts a spell that makes her do anything he says! Having a minion comes with all sorts of benefits which include but are not limited to: dramatically monologuing at her, making her explain all this weird new technology that's popped up in the past few decades, and having someone interact with the physical world in his stead to resume his plans for world domination!...he's also forgotten what said plans even were, but he's pretty sure they'll come back to him! Despite his... everything, he's surprisingly very attentive to his minion's needs and loves her to bits, and he eventually learns how to be an actual friend so they can bring out the best in each other! This character is silly, optimistic, a little bit evil but also kind of sweet, and a BIG presence! A presence that most people can't hear. Which might be for the best. (Just don't tell him I said that!)

Haha, new profile pic goes brrrr, or: childhood friends au my beloved
I find it so funny how baby Rika's hairstyle on the new CG is so similar to how adult Chaewon's hairstyle looks. Coincidence? I think not. Anyway, I don't think Chaewon was ever a big fan of trick-or-treating, since dressing up is not something she particularly enjoys, but she always relented for her brother's sake. If you add baby Rika to that, she won't even complain much! Unless they make her dress too cutesy that is...
Ref. by @spaniforce on Twitter
More childhood friends au lore dump under the cut 👇
It's interesting to me to think about the possibility of these two meeting as kids. Chaewon comes from a wealthy family, and while this comes with its own difficulties in her relations with them, her parents are good people. She grows more reserved and closed off with age, but as a child? She is a rather spunky and outgoing kid. I feel like she would have a 'mean girl' reputation around her school, even though that label doesn't really fit her. She's not a bully, but she has no filter, and she sure loves getting into fights, much to her father's dismay.
So, what if she ended up going to the very same school Rika was struggling in as a child? Such a thought makes my brain buzz. I don't think she would pay much attention to Rika at first, no. (Or rather Serena, to be more true to canon, but, for simplicity sake, I'll continue using 'Rika' here) She's a loner, and never really made any close friends in school, nor did she ever feel the need to. But, I do think she could overhear some nasty words and rumors that are being spread around about Rika between the other kids. Maybe she'll stumble onto a bullying scene one day. Maybe she'll walk in on Rika crying alone in an empty classroom after forgetting her bag for the countless time. Whatever the case is, she wouldn't stand for it. She's not one for mincing soft words, but she can spook off the bullies just fine, and she will offer a snack if she sees a kid crying without showing any rough edges. Her little brother has a much softer demeanor, so she is no stranger to being in a role of protector like that.
I think it'll be a gradual process when it comes to their relationship. Chaewon is very close with her parents, and she always tells her mother all about her day in school. So, her mother will probably be the one to nudge her into making friends with Rika. Maybe she doesn't have any friends and that's why she's sad? Chaewon doesn't have any friends in her class either, so why doesn't she try to be friends with her? Just a suggestion, her mother says.
I do think Rika will be timid and a bit distant, especially since Chaewon is a very blunt kid. If she thinks you look stupid, she will say just that. But, I believe she'll eventually learn that Chaewon means no ill. She never teases her and she never says that Rika's a bad child. She says that she's strange, but she doesn't make fun of her for that. In fact, she continues to find ways to talk to her daily. Rika will be confused by all this. Does Chaewon like her or not?
It'll be a period of this cautious friendship between them, before Chaewon inadvertently learns of Rika's poor family situation. Be it by Rika slipping up during conversation, or her literally being witness to her mother's abusive behavior first hand. Chaewon is just a kid - a sheltered one at that - so she'll be moreso confused and taken aback by it all than anything else.
That's when her parents come in. Rika's family is well off and makes sure to uphold their good reputation, but so does Chaewon's. It won't take long for her mother to suspect of Rika being seriously abused, judging by what her daughter tells her of the situation, and she won't stand for that. There are a lot of ways to go about it, but, what is concrete, is that Rika will be removed from her abusive environment eventually.
She will probably never meet V, nor Yoosung, nor establish the RFA, nor encounter the Choi twins, so... how much of a good ending that is for the overall story of mystic messenger remains in question. But, it's nice to think of Rika growing into adulthood with trusted and responsible adults around her that she can go to for help, and loyal friends to experience life with. It'll change both her and Chaewon inadvertently. I don't think Chaewon will be as brash or closed off as she is in a normal timeline. Rika helps her be more open to the world and mindful of how her words and actions can affect others, as well as motivating her to pursue her aspirations in life. She will probably pursue a career in professional sport thanks to that, too. In canon timeline, she gives up on that dream after losing an eye in a training accident and having a huge falling out with her father, who doesn't want his daughter to risk her safety by pursuing this path... But, I believe Rika could help soothe the tension between them in this au. She has a way with words and can help them both reconcile, as neither Chaewon nor her father have any bad intention towards one another in this conflict. They simply need to come to an understanding with each another, and Rika can be of help to that.
It also gives them a chance to form a healthy and stable relationship (certainly an oddity with these two). I do think it'll take them both a looong time to realize their feelings, come to terms with them, and then finally express them. It's always confusing when the line between platonic and romantic starts to get blurred, especially so when you're only figuring out your sexuality. Makes me giggle to think of them both full on pining for each other while thinking that this is a totally normal 'girl best friend' behavior. Oh, but when they do get together? They are the softest girlfriends ever. First date will be at the aquarium, of course. Can't go wrong with that. Rika would get Chaewon a huge isopod plushie. They name him Snugglebug (it was Rika's idea).

What's your opinion on the theory I've seen a ton that Azz's bloodline ability is for whatever reason going to be related to "transforming into a woman" or "swapping genders"?
I personally can't stand the theory myself but I'm curious on your thoughts about it :0
Hi! thanks for your question.
In short I can't stand this theory either, every time I read it I roll my eyes.
I think this theory is closely tied to another one where they say Azz is female and this is going to be revealed later, both really bother me.
I feel like a certain part of the fandom really wants Azz to be a woman for reasons that sound slightly homophobic.... The amount of comments I saw saying things like "Azz should have been a woman" "If Azz was a girl she'd be part of Iruma's harem" "it would be better if Azz was a girl" etc.
Now does this theory have any basis? Let's see...
One of the reasons I see used in these theories is that Azz's name is Alice which is a feminine name, personally I didn't think much of it because I can see Amaryllis giving her child the name she likes regardless of the child's gender or that even in the Underworld they don't give much importance to whether it is a feminine or masculine name.
However, for many people this detail is important and I fully understand why.
Azz is the only male character to have a female name (or the only character to have a name that does not match their gender).
Now this is not really true because
Tumblr media
Pamela is also a feminine name curiously his last name is Incu which sounds very similar to incubus so looking at Pame's personality (stereotypes sorry) and this it would not be crazy to assume that Pamela is an incubus.
But what if in Japanese his last name is totally different from incubus and this is just a coincidence?
Incubus in Japanese is インキュバス and Pamela's last name is インキュ so I don't think it's a coincidence.
I'm going to digress and talk a little bit about Pame, sorry!!!
I find it interesting how Pamela is the only one of the first year demons that Nishi-sensei didn't show us his bloodline magic but specialty magic.
Tumblr media
Just like Azz and fire, entice is not Incu's bloodline magic it's a magic he's good at.
And in the episode before this one Nishi-sensei reminds us that they are not the same in this scene (using screenshots of the spanish version because it fits more to what I'm trying to say lol)
Tumblr media
Oolo: I'm glad to be on the Agares team! Your special skills are the best!
Agares: it's not my special skills, it's my bloodline magic skills.
Funny how the two male characters who have female names are Azz, son of a succubus (would that make him an incubus?) and Pame who could also be an incubus and his magic specialty is entice.
(I once read a Japanese fan with the theory that maybe this was a sort of a succubus tradition something like "for good luck give your son a female name!" or maybe they just don't care about the gender of the names)
Anyway, this brings me to another of the arguments used by those who have the theory that Azz can swapping genders/become a woman.
So far all the Asmodeus family members we have seen are female except Azz and we have only seen succubus and no incubus (maybe incubus don't exist in Mairuma?).
Incubus exist in Mairuma because in the spin off there is a character who is one, although we can take it with a grain of salt because this spin off is canon but not written by Nishi-sensei.
But Nishi-sensei already confirmed that succubi are a race of demons in Mairuma and that incubus also exist.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Last of the reasons and my favorite although not many do not talk about it.
Asmodeus and Solomon changing places (legend in the Talmud).
One of the most famous stories of Solomon and Asmodeus is where Asmodeus tricks him into giving up his throne.
'Solomon continued to keep Ashmedai imprisoned, but one day, Ashmedai in turn tricked Solomon into taking off his magic ring. Thereupon Solomon lost his power over the demon-king, and Ashmedai cast Solomon off his throne. Ashmedai assumed Solomon’s appearance and ruled in his place, while the real Solomon became a wandering beggar. Eventually, Solomon returned to Jerusalem and warned the sages about the counterfeit.
When King Solomon returned, Asmodai fled from his wrath.Similar legends can be found in Islamic folklore. There Asmodeus is called Sakhr (Arabic: صخر the Rock or the Stony One), because in Islamic lore, Solomon banished him into a rock, after he takes his kingdom back from him. There he counts as the king of the jinn'
If Azz's bloodline magic is inspired by this legend, it would make sense that he could shape-shift (or at least swapping genders).
But according to what Ifrit-sensei said Azz's bloodline magic is something he could use to defeat him in battle and I don't see how swapping genders would be useful in that situation.
Again I made an unnecessarily long post where I ramble a lot to end up saying almost nothing in one question, sorry!
Resumen, I like this theory? No
Can I stand it? Not at all
I think it is likely to be true? Honestly no
If it is true how would I react? Very disappointed
+ plus that it does not have much relation but I take this opportunity to add it since I talked about entice and Pamela.
Tumblr media
Again, using the Spanish translation as an example because blah blah blah
I want to point out that it seems important to me that the manga tells us that magic like "entice, charm, aphrodisiac" is not a bloodline magic but a magic that basically everyone can learn it, some may have special talent for it like Pamela.
For example both Kerori and Azz (probably Ix as well) have charm among their special abilities on the sheet measuring skills in chapter 219.
Tumblr media
"Special shows your special abilities".
Tumblr media
So obviously the bloodline magic of the Asmodeus family is not going to be similar to a magic that in theory a lot of demons can use, if it is related to seduction it's going to be in an unconventional way, me thinks.

Possible prediction of what might happen in S.A.M.S. and slightly meta analysis.
So I think or... to be more accurate, I have a feeling that Sun will try to choke or hang himself...
I know that it seems like a very wild statement... and it is sorta... but at the same time... there are hints towards this conclusion in the show or I'm just reading too deep into this but you'll decide...
So, remember when Moon said he'll choke Sun. That he'll somehow make it possible... I know that Moon wasn't serious... probably...? (it was in one of early episodes and we know that Moon was doing some morally questionable things to Sun...) So let's get further... Idk if y'all remember that Sun was saying that he'll strangle this person or that person a few times... when Lunar pretended to be Moon. He wanted to strangle that girl with jump rope from Baldi Basics... I know that he said that because he was frustrated... but I hope that later you'll see what I'm trying to say. And also Sun once said that he'll strangle Moon (Lunar) (when they were playing Minecraft). He was very mad at that time but it's not that much important to what I want to point out. I don't remember if there were more examples of Sun wanting to strangle someone, so let's get to the next point.
After the whole ordeal with Eclipse in October... one of the first games Sun and Moon played was that SCP game that Eclipse left unfinished... and what mission Eclipse started in that game... The hanged man's tragedy... so I know that all of what I said still doesn't make any sense... but hear me out. At the end... Sun was cursing like a sailor... yeah, I know, funny... but that's beside the point... because I had this weird feeling... that Sun was cursing at the sight of hanged dummies because he was scared... even if he didn't seem that much scared during that video. But to prove my point I'll only say that people also often curse or swear when they're scared. It's pretty common reaction to fear.
Yes, I know that this still didn't make any sense towards my first statement. So let's get to the next point. I don't remember how many games which Sun played with either Moon or Lunar had someone hanging or being strangled but I'll talk about two most recent (one with Lunar and one with Moon) and one of them made me believe that... it's all not a coincidence... that there is connection between Sun and strangulation...
So let's start with the second game. Sun played an Elevated dread with Moon in Sun and Moon move to Ohio episode. And when Sun said that if he'll see a jumpscare he'll pee himself... and not so long after that... he went to a room... where he saw a hanged man/monster... and an outlined shape of child (if I remember correctly) on the floor which was implying that someone killed that kid... and that someone was probably that guy... who later turned into a monster..! because of the crime he commited and after he hanged himself... Sun reaction was... complete silence... and later he pretended that it didn't scared him... But why am I going into specific of that scene and how it is related to Sun posibbly choking or hanging himself?
Well... this is the time when the first game comes in... Remember when Sun played The classrooms with Lunar in Lunar has a bully episode (second part of their gaming)... So, remember that something happened to the several kids there... they sorta disappeared (or they got even killed or possessed because these dolls, I think, represented those kids) and... protagonist was chased by some kind of monster/demon and got strangled by him..! Sun reaction to that was laughter... which was... weird... (he said that acting here was inacurate but it was still hella strange 💀)... And later when they walked to bathroom, they saw their reflection in the mirror and both Sun and Lunar get startled because they thought they were that monster/demon thing...
Dying or disappearing kids... a guy who is hanged or strangled... a monster/demon who is responsible for kids death and misery... Both games had that and Sun played both of them... In one with Moon the guy turned into a monster... In the other one with Lunar they thought that their reflection was a demon... In both cases Sun had weird reaction which implied that Sun wasn't scared at all (which I believe was a lie)...
But the thing that convinced me that it's something more than it seems was the fact that... in first part of Sun and Lunar playing The classrooms... the day in which the game took place was... July 14th... which was weirdly close to that one tiny date which had a great impact on Sun's life... And of course Sun's reaction when he read the date... you could almost see those ptsd flashbacks in Sun's eyes...
And also... Sun said that he wanted to do something very specific to Eclipse when he find KC's base... it was something about neck... Oh! Right! I'm gonna snap his neck... or something like that... And like I said Sun wants to get rid of Eclipse means that he wants to get rid of himself...
And I have a feeling that Sun thought about snapping Eclipse's neck... because this something he fears... I think that Sun dreams about being strangled or hanged... and that means that he has some feelings and thoughts that he burries inside himself and also that he has some unresolved issues... which completely fits to what I said in my previous post.
That's why I think that Sun will try to choke or hang himself.

My reactions to Evangelion episode 7: A Human Work
I have this and three movies I'm trying to watch before my kid gets home this weekend and I don't know how the hell I'm going to fit them all in when I'm gainfully employed. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
They've mentioned the other project a couple times and I am very curious about it.
Misato and her morning beer. Functional alcoholic.
Shinji is so funny when he's being snide.
Uh oh, she slipped and said Shinji living with her is part of her job.
Toji and Kensuke, Jesus Christ lol
Shinji asking the real questions
How convenient that the Angels showed up just in time for Gendo's budget request to get approved. What a coincidence.
They found the first Angel in the Antarctic? So the second impact wasn't necessarily a meteor. It was related to the Angel.
Oh damn that guy is sexist!
They use the human heart to operate the Evas, huh?
I mean, a remote control unit doesn't seem like a bad idea, but I guess it's just as faulty and unreliable as the Evas.
Ritsuko looked so smug it makes me wonder if she somehow sabatoged the thing.
If my dad were watching this, he would have something to say about how "Hope" is not a strong password.
Oh? The program was tampered with? HMMM
I'm not really sure why pushing on those things worked, but good for her.
OH HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HO! EVERYTHING WENT ACCORDING TO PLAN, EH?
God, Shinji is such a sap.
In Closing
I am starting to think Misato might not be as duplicitous as I had originally suspected, but I still am trying to figure her out. She does have a tendency to want to protect people, I feel, which we saw today, as well as the fact that she is not in the loop on everything going on at NERV. It could be that she is making her decisions based on a very different set of assumptions from the other NERV staff. I wonder if she'll find out some of the questionable things going on behind the scenes and oppose them.
Also, I see NERV has some competition. Obviously they can't have that because whatever top secret plans they have going on hinge on their image as the only hope for humanity. I'm sure their funding would dry right up if someone found a better and safer way to fight the Angels.
Also, if another company were to take over defending people from the Angels, they might get their hands on an Angel and discover things I'm assuming NERV doesn't want them to know, maybe? I don't know!

Hi
I know that you are not so focus in HOTD but i had a thing that you would find funny
There are rumors of Olivia and Fabien having a affair in the set of HOTD and that now they are a thing.
I first i was like "this make no sense" but Olivia broke up with her BF
The coincidence is that Olivia and Fabian are having good time together travelling.
So...Modern Alicole? 🤣
Hot take on Tumblr ...
But I really don't care about actors or actresses personal lives. What they do on their own time is their business. I only care when their personal lives start effecting the show and it's story.
I'm famous/notorious for slapping the shit out of Olivia Cooke and going hard in the paint on her ignorant and ... sometimes creepy headcanon bullshit about Alicent. Particularly the "Alicent is a closeted lesbian" dumb ass take that was based on her close friendship with Emma D'arcy. And how really immature both women really are.
But that being said, that stuff pertains to the show and is related to the characters and their portrayal.
When it comes to their personal lives ... Goddamn it do I not give a fuck.
I don't particularly like Olivia Cooke all that much despite being a huge fan of her Alicent and I've always thought Fabian Frankel is pretty cool dude that I've heard nothing but really good things about. If it's true I wish them luck and may their first child be a masculine child.
The only thing I will take away from it is that if they had a romance on set it means that we're gonna get a lot of good Alicent and Criston scenes together this season ...
so, something to look forward to, I guess.

So I haven’t asked any of these yet because I’m historically bad at ask games and remembering what’s already been asked, but I love this game even so. How about any three questions you haven’t yet been asked with Frodo and Bilbo? I just *clenches fist* love them so much!
HAPPY HECKING HOBBIT DAY YOU DWEEBS!! 8-D
I'm so glad you asked this, Merian, because it is marvelously timely! (Even if I did have to jump the line a bit to get to it but SHUT UP IT'S THE BOYS' BIRTHDAY LET 'EM HAVE THEIR SPOTLIGHT)
The only other ask there's been so far for Frodo and Bilbo was this one, when heckin-music-dork asked for 3, 5, 10, and 13. I know you asked me to just pick out three of the ones that haven’t been asked yet, but—
Well. Since when was I ever one for restraint?? :-3
ALL ABOARD THE BAGGINS TRAIN, CHOO-CHOO, SUCKERS
1. "When I think they became friends"
Presumably Bilbo was present for much of Frodo's childhood; mostly to visit Drogo and Primula, at first, and later to check up on their son specifically after they were gone. I'm sure little Frodo always looked up to strange and adventurous Uncle Bilbo with all his amazing stories, and Bilbo was just happy to have a willing audience.
2. "My favorite scene of them"
This one.
4. "My favorite thing about them"
Adoptive relationship. Cute, healthy, wholesome, funny, unconditionally loving, adoptive relationship, front and center in the bedrock of this story for everyone to see like it's no big deal, cute, heckin', cute, sweet little, cute, frick—
6. "A scene with them that I want to rewrite/change in some way"
I don't have a specific scene in mind but if these two idiots don't tell each other "I love you" in plain words before the book ends I will sue
7. "What makes me like their relationship"
—CUTE, HECKIN', CUTE—
8. "Who I think is the 'crazier' one"
Bilbo, easily, by nature of being Bilbo. It's not Frodo who's the Mad Baggins.
9. "Would I change anything about their relationship?"
Mmmn more open communication maybe?? Bilbo left without even saying goodbye. But then it wouldn't really be Bilbo, so. He's kind of allergic to sincerity and feelings. It's okay; Frodo's sweet enough to make up for the both of them.
11. "Which one of the friends can I relate to more?"
Probably Frodo, just by nature of him being more bookish and introverted than Bilbo seems to be. But maybe I'll turn out a bit more like Bilbo when I'm older and have ceased to give much of a hoot about anything :-D
12. "A word to describe them"
—C U T E okay wait we gotta be serious now
I'm gonna go with serendipitous, adj: "occurring or discovered by chance in a happy or beneficial way."
There were a lot of seeming coincidences that led up to Frodo and Bilbo's relationship becoming what it is. Bilbo just happened to find the Ring; Frodo's parents just happened to drown; Bilbo just happened to be pestered by those insufferable Sackville-Bagginses and needed an heir to ward them off; Frodo just happened to be the one who inherited the Ring; and he, happily, just happened to be the kind of person who had the moral fiber needed to carry a thing of deadly evil to its destruction and save the world.
Imagine if just one of those details hadn't lined up perfectly. All of Middle Earth would be lost. Tolkien would probably call it "eucatastrophe" or something like that; I, personally, call things like that "mini-miracles".
14. "If I can picture them to be more than just friends"
They ARE more than just friends! They're family. C-:
15. "If I would want to be friends with them"
Boy.
Heckin'.
WOULD I EVER 8-D
FRIENDSHIP ASK GAME!
