Hi! Could you write about how Takasugi, Katsura and Sougo would confess their feelings to someone? Can be in a non direct way too just really curious to see how they’d express their love for someone.

hi anon, thanks for your request! (Sorry for not being active for a while!) -niob

Takasugi:

he is in denial that he has developed feelings for you for a while and then a while longer

he is neither good at articulating his feelings properly nor at showing them with gestures

he may try to tell you how he feels in a roundabout way or metaphor but ends up saying “you should know how I feel about you” half annoyed, half flustered if you don't get it

he’ll get annoyed if you still don't get what he means or if you persist on him saying it properly

sometimes the looks he gives you expose his feelings for you but you'll never see it because he only looks at you this way when you are busy with something else and pay him no mind

Katsura:

for some reason he is always close to you, pops up out of nowhere randomly and you never know where he comes from

he is always there when you need his help and always there to get on your nerves when you absolutely don’t need it

Katsura does not even know himself why he ends up around you so damn often

he does not show his feelings for you purposely but the signs are just obvious at some point

he takes interest in your hobbies, work, your favourite food and just everything related to you

Okita:

he is like a child, has no idea how to properly express his feelings, or maybe he does but his pride won’t let him

he annoys you to death, whenever he sees a chance to get on your nerves, or embarrass you (especially in public) he takes the chance without hesitation

unfortunately, he is not good at knowing when to stop, and he’ll reach the point where he does hurt your feelings and it makes him feel utterly sorry, but a genuine apology is also not something he can muster

after you seemed to have recovered from his bullying, he starts again

giving you a pretty collar with a matching leash and asking you to be his pet is the closest you’ll get to a confession

Giocatrici di astragali The Astragali Players

This piece from Herculaneum (1st century AD) depicts Phoebe trying to pacify Latona and Niobe while two Niobids - Hilearia and Agle - play knucklebones, oblivious to their imminent doom. The information is derived from inscriptions made by the painter, Alexander of Athens.

Currently at the National Archaeological Museum, Naples.

According to Sappho, „Before they were mothers Leto and Niobe had been the most devoted of friends” and I think this has to be one of the most intriguing concepts ever. What happened between them? Why did things go so wrong? How might they have gotten from closest of friends to Niobe disparaging Leto and her twins and Leto asking for the murder of Niobe's children?

After a whole month of no more posts until now (I did have free time but my latest university assignments have chewed right through it), the full image of this came to me yesterday in what's akin to a divine revelation.

Niobe came out to explore for a bit while I did some maintenance on her enclosure :)

It just clicked that Indira Varma was Suzie Costello in Torchwood and in Kenobi as Tala Durith.

yes I know what Apollo and Artemis did to Niobe was wrong but the sculpture Latona and Her Children, Apollo and Diana by William Henry Rinehart is so cute that I have to forgive them for what have they done 🥹

Why You Do Not Tell Apollo “Yo Mama” Jokes

Not sure where this would go in my various Trials of Apollo AU’s (and I still have not read the Trials of Apollo series, so there might be something incorrect).

But I am thinking that it would both be very in character (mythologically speaking) and also a reminder for the characters that “Lester” is still very much a god even with being rendered mortal, if, during his attempts at archery, Apollo overhears either Holly or Laurel make a “your mama joke,” about him.

He reacts without thinking, eyes flickering gold for just a second as he spins around and lets the arrow in his hands fly. It hits the mark, and the girl who dared to disrespect Leto in her son’s hearing falls to the ground with an arrow in her gut. Only spared because Apollon had enough presence of mind to remember that he is mortal, vulnerable. And while Artemis would agree that the girl’s words deserved punishment, Zeus likely would not, that Nike would take offense at him killing her daughter.

This prevents him from making a dangerous oath that he would almost immediately break (though he still makes the oath swearing off music). It gives him hope and the understanding that his powers are still there, lurking beneath the surface.

Meanwhile, Kayla Knowles is both impressed by the shot, horrified that the other girl got hurt. And also reminded that while he might appear to be a goof-ball most of the time, Apollo is extremely protective and takes slights to his mother and sister deadly seriously.

Guess who's doing rewatches again? It's me, and well, not entirely a rewatch:

Yes, that's right, it's Enter the Matrix. Because it's criminal that for a blog named for the little ship that could, I've haven't actually done a deep dive on the game itself! So I'm going to fix that!

I'm also going to play through as both Niobe and Ghost, as depending on who you're playing, the missions play out slightly different, and the cutscene dialogue varies as well. Also, not going to do like a  blow by blow kinda thing. Only going to comment on things that caught my  interest, or seem rather amusing to me.  If you want a little more context, I suggest checking out the couple of playthroughs/cut scene compilations on youtube.

Also of note, the game picks up right after the Animatrix short Final Flight of the Osiris.

Anyway, let's get to it!

AND IT'S THE MAIN REASON I'M STILL HERE, BECAUSE OF THIS PESSIMISTIC SNARKY COWARD RIGHT HERE. And he's self aware about it as well.

Also interesting to note is that according to this cutscene, Sparks has been operating on board the Logos for 3 years. Now, a standard US navy tour of duty (and I'm going with Navy rather than Army as Zion's army is referred to as a Navy fleet) is between 2-3 years. Not really going anywhere with this, but it's interesting to note.

Niobe is a 'my way or the highway' kinda person. No wonder it didn't work between her and Morpheus. It's also telling that Ghost has known Niobe for long enough to know that this is what she's like. I wonder if Ghost is the glue in this ship dynamic? As in, he knew Niobe and Sparks separately before they knew each other, if that makes sense?

And it's the little hovership that could, the little lightning bug of the fleet! Those red lights on the ship look like they're the same as the ones on the sentinels. I wonder if a bulb blows or something they scavenge one from a deactivated squiddie as a replacement?

It's not particularly clear, but I never realised that Niobe's hair is tied with what looks like string with gold in it? Maybe a metal band with gold on it? I'm not sure, but it's pretty!

Also, I appreciate that they give a reason why Niobe is going after this drop, rather than waiting for someone else (ie: Neo) to go get it.

Also, saying are you red or blue on this is a very cool in universe way of saying are you with me or not?

The subtitles are missing here, but what he says:

"You know me Niobe. It's not a choice, it's a way of life."

Ghost, you're awesome, you know that, right?

I get Sparks' complaint here, there are only two of them, and it would be a lot safer to wait for back up to help them out. But nope, you know what Niobe's like, get it done.

Also, as I remarked earlier, the fact that Niobe is willing to risk going in without support , especially given what she says about Thaddeus not using the drops unless he had no choice? And now they're all dead? They definitely need to get that package before the agents do.

I personally love Niobe's little eye roll here.

I also love that Ghost is more chill and amused by Sparks than exasperated like Niobe is. Yeah, Ghost is the glue holding the team together.

Also, a little mention of Zion funerary practices. As someone pointed out to me years ago, I suspect that the gardens is similar to the Exodus fleet's method of burial, but who knows?

Yup, words to live by!

Once again, Niobe is rolling her eyes behind the sunnies. This is what she has to put up with. Also, I would love to think that one time Sparks pranked Ghost by running some program that sent his guns soaring upward.

I always used to think that Ghost was the serious, no nonsense one in the crew, but I'm beginning to think I'm wrong on that front.

Sparks, why do you want his boots? They're too small for your big feet!

Niobe has great taste in old muscle cars. Good old 1967 Pontiac Firebird, in eggplant purple instead of black. Very stylish!

That's all for now, next up will be the post office. See you then!
