Longass Crop Circles Notes (I Don't Think I've Changed Chapter Two):

I don't want to talk about how many weeks these notes have been sitting in my notes app because I couldn't bring myself to go through them yet. My sincere apologies @spicymiilk

-Ah that incredibly relatable feeling when you want to get to one part of your story and you have to force yourself to slog through to get to it. It happens to us all.

-KIRI AND LO’AK GOING TO SPECIAL SCHOOL WHILE NETEYAM IS REGULAR IS SO FUNNY TO ME. Poor Lo’ak I’m being so mean to him. But you really want their asses GONE gone.

-Calling Jake a white man and saying he can’t understand their hair is so funny. Dude NEVER helped with ANY of his kids hair ever??? He’s never done Neytiri’s for her because he’s her bitch? Come on Jake, I expected more. Even I’ve done my cousins hair a few times. Maybe Spider will fare better?

-Obsessed with the way Neteyam is about his morning routine and solitude, it jives so well with my opinion of him. He’s got to have things his way, and under his control. Taken care of well. He’s going to have a field day with Spider. I see we are already leaning heavily into Neteyam’s "I can fix him" complex. Even when he wants to help Jake, which I know is something wheelchair users don’t often want if it’s something they do all the time themselves. It’s the innate feeling of standing by and doing nothing while watching someone struggle, when it’s their day to day life. And if that isn’t Neteyam’s whole thing? I’m obsessed with how he just cannot handle anyone else’s bad vibes without trying to fix it right away. Speaking of;

-If there is not a moment where Jake allows Neteyam to help him when he needs it, I will throw myself off a bridge, Andrei. ~growth~ the opportunity is there and it’s ripe.

-JAKE AND NETEYAM BANTER, I did not realize I was in a drought until I got a little bit of rain and I realized I was DYING OF THIRST. PARCHED FOR THEM.

-Jake “Detective” Sully: You are gay, son, try not to be too gay to the new foster kid you stalk at the local Micky Ds.

-I am literally obsessed with My Father Jake Sully who was neglected and hurt as a child being the most desperate man alive to connect with and heal kids in the same situation he was in. It fits so so well in his character for me. I feel like he spends most of his life trying to heal old wounds and make up for the past, in a way.

-Neteyam “I thought this kid was named Miles for years but I guess legally on his birth certificate it def must say Spider because it couldn’t be a nickname, that’s for sure” Sully

-I am CACKLING at them both lying to each other about McDonalds as though they both don’t know exactly how often the other one is there because they both find the other hot I’m dead.

-Spider mad at Norm for enforcing child labour laws has me wanting to make memes about it. The children truly do yearn for the mines.

-All the tiny little details of how Spider focuses on the people around him, on their moods and their movements and the way his brain works is so well done. That survival mindset takes years and years to unlearn, if you ever can fully. It’s well done as always.

-OH MY GOD EVEN NEYTIRI ALSO THINKS NETEYAM IS BEING TOO GAY THIS IS AMAZING.

-Justice for Jake, I will get him one of the cars paralyzed people can drive. Also his joke about driving Neytiri up the wall? HE’S A COMEDIAN. GET HIM A NETFLIX SPECIAL.

-Spider can’t look at Tuk because he was close with a little abused foster girl, where is the nearest bridge. NO REST FOR US, ANDREI?? ALL THE PAIN AND TRAUMA POSSIBLE CRAMMED INTO ONE EPIC.

-God the line about Spider’s therapist saying that his habit will lead him down a dangerous path, but he doesn’t understand why because he only ever hurts himself because he doesn’t see damage to himself as damage because he doesn’t see himself as worthy? Not worthy of the phone, of food, of attention or love? Truly my fav paragraph of the chapter. You are a master at establishing a character in a few subtle lines. It's a tactic that I only get after a few rewrites; instead of saying "Neteyam wants to fix everyone" you show us him in a situations where he wants to and can't help. Instead of telling me Spider doesn't care for his own safety, you tell me he's confused by his therapist saying his coping is dangerous. Instead of saying emotion, tell me something that would make me feel that emotion. Writing 101, and yet so hard to pull off properly.

-I laughed out loud at Neteyam trying not to look at Spider’s muscles I am dying. Neteyam should ask him out loud.

-EVEN TUK HAS IT ON LOCK, SHE SAYS NETEYAM HAS A THING FOR PEOPLE WHO SOUND A LITTLE SAD. This is so not funny but so funny because it’s all specifically for me.

-Neteyam later in life is like that dumbass gum commercial where the guy reveals he’s been keeping the gum wrappers every time the girl gives him one and drawing on them when and where she gave it to him? That’s Neteyam when the piles and piles of smiley face receipts fall out of his trench coat pockets.

-“I didn’t realize that was you” filthy liar. Spider’s smiley face drawing rizz is crazy. You bet your ass he wasn't doing that to every fuckers receipts.

-WHAT ON EARTH IS LO’AK DOING AT SMART PERSON SCHOOL, EVEN YOU DON’T KNOW ANDREI.

-THE CUTE BOY AT THE WINDOW ASKED FOR HIS NUMBER? AS IN, SPIDER, PHONELESS SPIDER, OR ANOTHER SNEAKY BASTARD BUTTING IN.

-Also these people have real memory problems, I’ve never forgotten any awkward interaction I’ve ever had in my entire life, especially not with a crush. I couldn't hear my crush at a party last year and I just laughed and said yeah and she was like "no I asked what you think" and not a single day goes by it doesn't play behind my eyelids like the DVD in The Ring. So, unless Spider has asked every single man at McDonalds out, he remembers when he asked a guy out and the guy sped off like he had a warrant out from Dominic Toretto.

-Oh my god, it was Spider. And this man sURVIVED that encounter? This man who can’t survive a strong breeze rn? What was he going to do with number, call him from phone booths? Send smoke signals to the write telephone wire? I am cackling at the idea that he had rehearsed this so many times and yet never actually thought through not having a phone.

-The smiley face on the paper. That revived Spider from his death post awkward encounter. There will be smiley faces on the invitations to their wedding and only Tuk will understand.

Rating the NHL mascots - Part 2

Part 1 is here

Minnesota Wild

Nordy

What are you, Nordy? Officially, Nordy is a "wild animal" which is just SUPER helpful, Minnesota. Thanks. He's got a sweet face, though. I like the extra colouring that keeps him from being boring. I feel like he'd benefit from some sharp teeth though. Give the boy some ferocity. Assuming he's the kind of wild animal that can be ferocious? WHO FUCKIN' KNOWS???

Vibes: 7/10

Aesthetics: 9/10

Horror: 2/10

Fuckability: 6/10

Overall, 6/10. Could be better, but the inability to commit hurts Nordy's potential.

Buffalo Sabres

Sabretooth

I may not have much in this world, but one of the things that I do have is a degree in palaeontology. This goofy looking motherfucker is not an accurate sabretooth cat and I have decided to take that personally. This is a cartoon tiger with dental issues. This is Tony the Tiger's inbred cousin. He's not OK. At least he looks relatively kind, if a little concerned.

Vibes: 5/10

Aesthetics: 1/10

Horror: 1/10

Fuckability: 1/10

Overall, 2/10. Is it too much to ask for to have palaeontologically accurate mascots in 2023?

Nashville Predators

Gnash

Is this a joke? Am I a joke to you? ANOTHER sabre tooth cat? Jesus fucking christ. OK, this one isn't AS bad. It's not good, but it's not as bad as the last entry. Actual sabre teeth, a sculpted cat head, team colours can be forgiven for mascot purposes. The lower jaw is all wrong and the stripes are conjecture at best, but the overall effect doesn't fill me with the same blind rage as Buffalo's cat. Gnash is getting by on a loaded comparison. His name is pretty cool though.

Vibes: 6/10

Aesthetics: 4/10

Horror: 5/10

Fuckability: 3/10

Overall, 4.5/10. Literally skating through because Sabretooth is SO bad and SO fresh in my memory. Take the wins where you can, Gnash.

Florida Panthers

Stanley C. Panther

Florida somehow has two mascots? I'm going with Stanley, but please do be aware of, I assume, Matthew Tkachuk's best friend: Victor E. Rat.

Stanley, here, is a panther. Of course. And he's fine. Just fine. Another big cat, underwhelming design, pretty minimal costuming. He's got a reasonably characterful face. I feel like a good performer could make him work, but in still images he's lacklustre. Sorry, Stanley.

Vibes: 6/10

Aesthetics: 3/10

Horror: 3/10

Fuckability: 6/10

Overall, 4.5/10. Middling score for a middling mascot. Maybe I should have gone with Victor...

New York Islanders

Sparky the Dragon

Got myself tied in knots about this one because the Isles have made some attempts to move on from Sparky, it seems. There's an absolutely horrifying fisherman named Nyisles that I won't ever unsee. The NHL website says Sparky, though, so Sparky it is! He's a dragon! Look at his lil wings! Good teeth, bright colours, horns for holding. What's not to love? Literally nothing. Except the fact that he's mascot for the Isles... but that's not what we're doing here.

Vibes: 10/10

Aesthetics: 10/10

Horror: 4/10

Fuckability: 8/10

Overall, 8/10. He's a dragon! I love me a dragon! I don't care!

St Louis Blues

Louie

Louie, OK. Blue, OK. Wipe clean mouth? OK, I guess. Why a bear, though? And why such a pale blue? This thing must be a nightmare to keep clean. Good ear shape, kind face, not quite hitting the bear perfection that is Carlton but a decent effort. The muzzle really is throwing me as a weird design choice. Like, OK, it does make the face more visually interesting but it also just looks like Louie has a skin problem. Does he have mange? We simply don't know.

Vibes: 7/10

Aesthetics: 7/10

Horror: 3/10

Fuckability: 5/10

Overall, 5.5/10. Mostly because I'm concerned about his health. I don't want to catch mange.

Detroit Red Wings

Al the Octopus

Oh yeah, now we're talking. I actively hate this for a million reasons but it's so fucking insane that I also kind of love it! I do wish that Detroit fans would stop throwing octopuses onto the ice because that is no fate for a poor cephalopod. But look! It's a giant tentale monster! He looks MEAN! That's not just a guy in a bad fur suit! it's interesting and that's worth big points. I fully believe that Al would beat the shit out of me for no reason.

Vibes: 10/10

Aesthetics: 9/10

Horror: 9/10

Fuckability: 10/10

Overall, 9.5/10. Horrible, never stop.

Philidelphia Flyers

Gritty

Now, this is podracing! Gritty is how you do weird, undefined monster mascots properly. Gritty emerged following construction work at the Philidephia arena and is best described as a force for chaos. The eyes are wild, the energy is all over the place, the flow is spectacular, and the best part of Gritty's launch was the speed with which Philidelphia went from rejecting their new freak to declaring Gritty the new godking. Oh, you think Gritty is an ugly monster? Fuck you, we love them. Gritty is also undeniably a queer ally/icon/community leader? Hard to say exactly, but it's there. Immaculate vibes. Shame we can't say the same about everyone on the team...

Vibes: 10/10

Aesthetics: 10/10

Horror: 10/10

Fuckability: 10/10

Overall, 10/10. Gritty, hit me up. I have a short list of Flyers I need you to eat. Thanks, babe.

Ottawa Senators

Spartacat

Someone please get this lion a good haircare routine? Dear god, Spartacat. You leave the house looking like this? There's something almost endearing about how wet and pathetic this lion looks. He's just giving nothing. I want to nominate him for Queer Eye.

Vibes: 6/10

Aesthetics: 4/10

Horror: 2/10

Fuckability: 4/10

Overall, 4/10. Honestly, it's a pity fuck as well. Someone please help this lion.

Montreal Canadiens

Youppi!

What IS it? A man? Why is it so hairy? It might be a giant (lol) but that doesn't explain much at all. I HATE this. I think that's a fully body beard. You could shave that and maybe find just a normal man underneath. It's SO orange which just looks jarring with the Montreal colours. Bad. I would turn around and walk the other direction if I saw this on the street.

Vibes: 2/10

Aesthetic: 1/10

Horror: 8/10

Fuckability: 0/10

Overall, a generous 3/10. Please never make me look at Youppi! again.

Vancouver Canucks

Fin the Whale

They anthropomorphised a whale. That feels like it should be a crime. Certainly the way they've gone about it is. Fin loses points for having his dorsal fin on the back of his head and not, y'know, his actual back. He also appears to have no tail which is a real shame. Tails are a great design choice in almost every situation. I do like the sharp teeth and red tongue, though. Very suggestive. This feels like a missed opportunity. Fin could have been a lot better but they took the easy path instead of the interesting one. Boo you, Canucks design team.

Vibes: 7/10

Aesthetics: 4/10

Horror: 5/10

Fuckability: 6/10

Overall, 5.5/10. I really wanted to like this more. I'm going to think about Ethan Bear for a minute to cheer myself up.

San Jose Skarks

S J Sharkie

No points for originality on the name, but for literally everything I just said about Fin? Sharkie gets it right. His dorsal fin is in the right place, he has shark elements beyond his head with those little elbow fins. Clear evidence that it's possible to make a weird sea creature/man hybrid without being boring AF. The head is a weird shape, but I'm feeling too much goodwill towards Sharkie right now to really mind. Nice teeth, too. I would have loved to have seen rows of teeth, maybe with some missing for a real hockey feel.

Vibes: 8/10

Aesthetics: 8/10

Horror: 6/10

Fuckability: 8/10

Overall, 7.5/10. A good score for a very smooth boy. Smooth in every direction.

Arizona Coyotes

Howler the Coyote

Hims feets too big for hims gotdamn shoes! I haven't ever actually seen a coyote before, so I had to go looking for a comparison. Conclusion? Why is his face so wide? I do like the very pointy nose, though. We've seen too many soft faced predators, this boy has a SNOUT. Got some lil teefies too, I like that. And a tail. I keep coming back to the feet busting out of the shoes though, like some teen wolf knock off. I kinda love it.

Vibes: 9/10

Aesthetics: 8/10

Horror: 4/10

Fuckability: 8/10

Overall, 7/10. Very good showing for a pointy faced doggo who needs new shoes.

Columbus Blue Jackets

Stinger

Help. Serously, please help me. Look at this thing. It's a bug, meant to be a play on blue jackets/yellow jackets. But I don't know what a yellow jacket is so any cleverness is kind of lost on me. This is HORRIBLE. They really went all in on making this unpleasant and I can applaud that, even as I hate it viscerally. And I do. The eyes, the butt, the rictus grin, the colour... It is offensive to mine eyeballs. I love it. One note, they should have given it another set of limbs.

Vibes: 1/10

Aesthetics: 10/10

Horror: 8/10

Fuckability: 0/10

Overall, 5/10. Awful. I can't look away.

Honourable mention to Boomer, the other Blue Jackets mascot who is just an anthropomorphic cannon. Great moustache. I wonder if Johnny Gaudreau is afraid of it.

Anaheim Ducks

Wild Wing

I do not believe that Wild Wing's designer had ever seen a duck. I'm not sure that the person who described duck to the designer or Wild Wing had ever seen a duck either. I think the description of a duck may have passed through as many as 15 people who had never seen a duck before reaching Wild Wing's designer. Oh Holly, you're so harsh. It's a duck in a hockey mask. OK, so they hadn't seen a modern hockey mask either. I like the mean expression, somehow through a mask, the Donald Duck-esque nudity, and the feet design. Almost a horse-sized duck.

Vibes: 7/10

Aesthetics: 6/10

Horror: 5/10

Fuckability: 4/10

Overall, 5.5/10. You're no good, duck. You'll never be shit. You're just like your father.

Chicago Bad Team

Tommy Hawk

That's a turkey.

Vibes: 0/10

Aesthetics: 0/10

Horror: 0/10

Fuckability: 0/10

0/10. Boo.

Ennoshita isn’t here today.

Kenji sighs and stares, despondent, at the empty armchair where Ennoshita usually sits when he visits. It’s been a few days since he last stopped by, and the withdrawal is starting to take its toll.

“You know,” says Mai, “you wouldn’t have to sit and wait for him to come around if you had just asked for his number.”

Kenji whips around to scowl at her. “Like you have room to talk. Didn’t you say you were going to ask out Misaki on Tuesday?”

Mai flushes red. “It was bad timing! I wasn’t going to ask her in the middle of the rush hour.”

“She was literally the only one in the shop.”

“Yes, but she was in a rush,” says Mai haughtily. “Hence, it was a rush hour for her.”

Kenji rolls his eyes. “Whatever makes you feel better.”

“I heard the film department had a pretty big project to finish up this week,” Aihara Mao chimes in. “That’s probably why he hasn’t been here. Cheer up, Kenji, I’m sure he’ll be back soon enough.”

“You make me sound obsessed with him,” Kenji grumbles, burying his face in his arms. Honestly, he knows he kind of is. Not obsessed, no, that’s creepy. He’s just . . . incredibly conscious of Ennoshita’s presence and the lack thereof. Observant. Attentive. Vigilant.

Addicted, Jiri had called him once.

“Kogane-kun told me he couldn’t stop staring at you the last time he was here,” Mai says. “You can’t tell me that doesn’t mean something.”

“Maybe I was having a bad hair day.”

Mai throws up her hands and looks at Mao, her exasperation as clear as the summer sun. “Forget it, he’s hopeless.”

“Hopelessly in loooooove,” Mao sings, and dodges when Kenji chucks a crumpled straw wrapper at her, laughing. “It’s cute, Kenji! It’s nice to know that you’re not all bitter black coffee.”

“I am not!” Kenji protests. “Shirabu is bitter black coffee. I’m a mocha frappuccino with extra chocolate chips, whipped cream, and a caramel drizzle on top.”

“Ennoshita doesn’t like frappuccinos,” points out Mai, unhelpfully. “He always orders a peach green tea when he’s here.”

Like Kenji doesn’t know that. Like he doesn’t know that Ennoshita takes his green tea with less ice and at half the sweetness. Like he doesn’t pay attention when Ennoshita tells him every miniscule detail about his life, from the asshole professor he has on Tuesdays to the stray rabbit his younger cousins adopted. Like Kenji hasn’t catalogued every single moment they’ve ever had together, carefully preserved behind glass cases in his head like a fucking museum of shameless, relentless crushing.

Okay, so he’s a little bit hopeless. Not that he would ever tell Mai that.

-- an excerpt from ACTION!, an ennofuta college coffeeshop au that's 50% plot and 50% vibes

#i have literally been drafting this for like TWO YEARS #nothing has ever made it out of the drive you guys i am TERRIBLE at committing #ennofuta #ennoshita chikara #futakuchi kenji #nametsu mai #aihara mao #sou says stuff #sou writes stuff #sou's fics #haikyuu #haikyuu!!

ZB1 as Pick 'N' Mix 🍬

🍀 Jiwoong - Fried Eggs

Fried eggs have this innocent vibe about them. I literally don't know how to explain it?? And so does Jiwoong

I say this a lot here but he's a classic and so are fried eggs. You'll find them in every bag of pick n mix I ever put together

I'll be real I have no idea what flavour they are, and sometimes I wonder what's going on in Jiwoong's head

☘ Zhang Hao - Fizzy Cola Bottles

Am I influenced by when he said he wanted to drink zero cola with Hanbin every day? A little

But also… cola bottles are good, like really good. It's like a tiny sip of cola and he is smol (yes he's taller than me)

But he's not the regular cola bottle, he's a little bit fancy, a little more special. He's a fizzy cola bottle

🍀 Hanbin - Gummy Hearts

Hanbin is literally the personification of gummy hearts, fight me on this

Bro looks at all his friends like 🥰 how could he not be a gummy heart? He's literally full of love for everyone

Gummy hearts are also a classic and I feel like they're pretty popular?? Hanbin is basically a social butterfly so yeah he's also popular I mean he held the #1 spot for almost the entire show

☘ Matthew - Marshmallow Twists

Squishiness intensifies. I want to hold his face in my hands and squish him, not in a hurty way but in the way you squish marshmallows

Woohyun oppa who? I only know Mattchu. He's cute and soft like marshmallows I do not care, Matthew fight me on this

Marshmallows are sweet but not overly sugary and sickly, which fits him well cause he's just the right amount of sweet

🍀 Taerae - Gummy Bears

I mean who else could this possibly be? I literally wrote down gummy bears when I thought of this idea and I went "Taerae" no questions asked

Gummy bears are classic. Taerae is a classic. Need I say more? His voice is timeless

And they're shaped like teddy bears. You know who else is shaped like a teddy bear? Taerae. He has a very comforting aura around him

☘ Ricky - Fizzy Cherries

Okay so personally, I think the normal cherries are already kinda fancy and all that

And what do you get when you add a bit of fizz to Ricky? You get rizz I'm so sorry it had to be done

No but fr though fizzy cherries are the edgy cousin of the fancy cherry and I feel like that fits him so well because he's fancy but he also has a bit of edginess??

🍀 Gyuvin - Bubblegum Bon Bons

He's bubblegum bon bons, end of. No discussion… I'm kidding, but I don't really know how to explain myself he just is?

Bubblegum bon bons are fun, funky and fresh. I would also use those words to describe him

They also remind me of my childhood and he gives off this carefree energy I can't explain

☘ Gunwook - Gummy Snakes

Hear me out on this one… people look at him and think he's all intimidating and edgy like a snake. Do you remember Takuto quaking in fear when he first saw him?

But he's actually the sweetest?? Like during Tomboy when he was running around after his hyungs

Also really squishy, no wonder the other trainees kinda adopted him

🍀 Yujin - Jelly Beans

Jelly beans are small. Yes I know he's taller than me but he's small, okay? He's just a tiny boy

Squishy. I just wanna squish his cheeks at all times, like how Gyuvin does. Maybe less aggressively? Nah, I'm lying, just like him

I think they're so adorable and so is Yujin. No one can change my opinion on this

A Clash of Kings - 62 SANSA VII (pages 778-785)

Cersei runs off to find Joffrey, leaving Sansa alone to calm their guests. The Hound says his goodbyes to Sansa, and dawn comes at long last after the Battle of the Blackwater.

"Bring him inside Maegor's now." "No!" Lancel was so angry he forgot to keep his voice down. heads turned toward them as he shouted, "We'll have the Mud Gate all over again. let him stay where he is. he's the king-" "He's my son." Cersei Lannister rose to her feet. "You claim to be a Lannister as well, cousin, prove it. Osfryd, why are you standing there? Now mean today." (...) "Cersei," Ser Lancel pleaded, "if we lose the castle, Joffrey will be killed in any case, you know that. Let him stay, I'll keep him by me, I swear-" "Get out of my way." Cersei slammed her open palm into his wound. Ser Lancel cried out in pain and almost fainted, as the queen swept from the room. (...) "Oh gods," an old woman wailed. "We're lost, the battle's lost, she's running.

I feel like D&D read this old woman's opinion and took it at face value. The sheer difference in the vibes between the show and book for this. When Cersei leaves in the show, she is very much running scared, prepared to kill herself and Tommen out of fear of what will happen to them, but book Cersei is going out to get her son to bring him to safety to hold out until the last scrap of ground is taken from beneath them.

She spared Sansa not so much as a glance. She's forgotten about me. Ser Ilyn will kill me and she won't even think about it. "Oh gods," an old woman wailed. "We're lost, the battle's lost, she's running. Several children were crying. They can smell fear. Sansa found herself alone on the dais. Should she stay here, or run after the queen and plead for her life? She never knew why she got to her feet, but she did. "Don't be afraid," she told them loudly. "The queen has raised the drawbridge. This is the safest place in the city. There's thick walls, the moat, the spikes..." ... Sansa raised her hands for quiet. "Joffrey's come back to the castle. he's not hurt. they're still fighting, that's all I know, they're fighting bravely. The queen will be back soon." The last was a lie, but she had to soothe them.

"She never knew why she got to her feet," because, Sansa Stark was a lady at three, and this is what a lady does? The character growth in this scene, *chef's kiss* lowkey, understated, very nice.

Sansa doesn't need to be doing this right now, but she is, she is stepping up and reaching out to help others even when she's also in such a shit situation. "She's not even doing anything/all that much" but she is. When you're scared and panicking, when people are scared and panicking in groups, a single voice of calm and order can mean everything.

Together, Sansa and the serving man got the wounded knight back on his feet. "Take him to Maester Frenken." Lancel was one of them, yet somehow she still could not bring herself to wish him dead. I am soft and weak and stupid, just as Joffrey says. I should be killing him, not helping him.

Compassion is not weakness.

The torches had begun to burn low, and one or two had flickered out. No one troubled to replace them. Cersei did not return. Ser Dontos climbed the dais while all eyes were on the other fool. "Go back to your bedchambers, sweet Jonquil," He whispered. "Lock yourself in, you'll be safer there. I'll come for you when the battle's done." Someone will come for me, Sansa thought, but will it be you, or will it be Ser Ilyn?

I love what GRRM is doing with the torch imagery, in the previous two Sansa chapters, he's mentioned the torches reflecting from the silver metal mirrors filling the room with light (and shadows) and now the torches are going out. It shows both a passage of time, (Since the start of the fight and since Cersei left) and the darkening of their situation, the illusion of safety being removed. Hope literally guttering out torch by torch.

It took all the strength she had in her to walk slowly from the Queen's Ballroom when she wanted so badly to run. When she reached the steps, she did run, up and around until she was breathless and dizzy.

I also like that when Sansa leaves the room, at the behest of Dontos, she's calm about it, like she's just popping out to check on things and she'll be back so the other ladies don't start panicking all over again even though as far as she knows, she's got a fifty-fifty chance of being beheaded either way.

Plus, you know: *pulls out GoT and flips to that one Arya chapter* late game mirror of Arya escape and espionage shenanigans.

One thing I will say in favour of the show, I loved the relationship between Sansa and Shae, and that Shae was fully prepared to stab some folks.

The southern sky was aswirl with glowing, shifting colors, the reflections of the great fires that burned below. (...) The air itself smelt burnt, the way a soup kettle sometimes smelled if it was left on the fire too long and all the soup boiled away. Embers drifted through the night air like swarms of fireflies. Sansa backed away from the window, retreating toward the safety of her bed. I'll go to sleep, she told herself, and when I wake it will be a new day, and the sky will be blue again. The fighting will be done and someone will tell me whether I'm to live or die. "Lady," she whimpered softly, wondering if she would meet her wolf again when she was dead.

That external shot description. ooph.

Yeah, going to sleep when you can't deal with things anymore, just to avoid sitting around stewing in anxiety over things you have zero ability to change or influence. Understandable coping method. Free random time skips.

... Oh hi Hound, watchya doing sitting in a little girl's bedroom in the dark waiting to grab her like a creep for? Just being a creep? Oh, and threatening to kill Sansa? Cool, have you met my steel chair friend?

"- but I won't be here to see. I'm going." "Going?" She tried to wriggle free, but his grasp was iron. "The little bird repeats whatever she hears. Going, yes."

"repeats whatever she hears" pfff, so far she's been asking clarifying questions, which does, indeed require repeating part of what you said. But seriously? Repeating stuff, like the last word or only a key word is thing, it's a processing thing bot to clarify that the word has been heard correctly and to seek further explanation regarding it. (In context) You also have to do it at least three times before someone's legally allowed to make the "is there an echo in here?" joke.

(Also yes, I know he's having a go at her in reference of her saying what her captors want her to say or what people around her want to hear lest they snap and have her stripped and publicly beaten or some such.)

He yanked her closer and for a moment Sansa thought he meant to kiss her. He was too strong to fight. She closed her eyes, wanting it to be over, but nothing happened.

this scene is icky. like this whole interaction. he was in her bed, waiting for her. he has been physically manhandling her, demanding a song at sword point, and Sansa cannot fight back, she doesn't have the power, not the physical strength to fight him off, nor any of the other forms of power that would make him back the hell off. All she has is all she's had this entire time: endure it till it's over.

Yes, it was the Hound who chose to back off instead of sexually assaulting her but like... what? should I give him a medal? The "not as big of a piece of shit as you could have been" award?

And then the way she covers herself in his torn and discarded cloak? Like she's covering herself in the dregs of honour and tarnished remnants of an ideal. pft, if that ain't a metaphor for her arc. what remains of goodness in the hearts of men.

The bells! Victory call! yay.

"- And do you know who led the vanguard? Do you? Do you? Do you?" "Robb?" It was too much to be hoped, but... "It was Lord Renly! Lord Renly in his green armor, with the fires shimmering off his golden antlers! Lord Renly with his tall spear in hand! They say he killed Ser Guyard Morrigen himself in single combat, and a dozen other great knights as well. It was Renly, it was Renly, it was Renly! Oh! the banners, darling Sansa, OH! to be a knight!"

Bullshit!

First of all: he's DEAD

Second of all: Renly can't fight for shit! (I don't know if this is true, but it feels true... is him being afraid of blood book canon? or show only canon?)

Would not be surprised to find out it was Loras Tyrell in his lover's armour, enacting vengeance on his behalf as theatrically as possible.

If you're still doing it - how about Celebrimbor? If he's competing with Celebrian for your Elrond OTP he's gotta have some interesting headcanons to go with.

This has been sitting for ever sorry!! I've been meaning to get around to it because Celebrimbor is Best Boy.

1: sexuality headcanon

IDK I view him as being very open and not really caring so much about who he's attracted to. If the vibes click then the vibes click and he definitely enjoys sex, but he also isn't one of those people who has a preference in partners, nor does he really go out of his way to seek them. He's a very affectionate and attentive person in general, though, both with friends and with partners.

2: otp

Brimbrond. I literally can't say enough about Brimbrond. I just love the idea of them being very close in the Second Age, (with a bit of hero worship on Elrond's part that Celebrimbor finds very cute). I love the idea of Elrond being enamored with Celebrimbor, and Celebrimbor being enamored with this gorgeous ainur-like creature (funnier when you add Silvergifting into the mix...because I guess that Celebrimbor is just a maia-fucker). Love the idea of Gil being the one to introduce them and give them a little nudge. There's a bit of camraderie that comes from being able to speak Quenya with each other, and with my headcannon that Elrond picked up a Feanorian accent from M&M... that makes it even better. And Elrond being able to fill Celebrimbor in on late M&M, and Celebrimbor being able to tell Elrond stories about what they were like in Valinor...stuff like that. And Elrond loves nothing more than encouraging and supporting people and so I think he'd do really well with such a highly gifted and creative partner. And I like to think that Celebrimbor maybe saw things in Elrond that others didn't -- like his gift for medicine, and nudged him toward it. Sure, Elrond is a REALLY good politician, but he's a peerless master of lore and master healer, and I like to think that Celebrimbor spotted that in him and gave him space to explore those things. They're both SO people and friendship oriented, too, so they'd do a really good job of balancing each other out and making sure that they're getting their needs met in the midst of focusing on everyone else. And idk, I headcannon them being very soft for each other, and it also is just very juicy for how things Ended. Because Elrond is the one that Gil-Galad entrusted with his host to go and liberate Eregion. And Elrond was too late to save Celebrimbor. And with all of that history...I just Think It's Neat.

3: brotp

Tie between Galadriel & Celebrimbor and Erestor & Celebrimbor! I absolutely adore thinking about how close Galadriel and Celebrimbor must be as two of the last surviving direct descendants of Finwe. How they both remember the Treelight, and How Things Were Before, how much pure time they have spent with each other. How Celebrimbor crafts the Elessar and Nenya for her, both works intended to preserve and protect her and her lands from evil. Incredible. And it's my headcannon that Erestor is the son of Caranthir, which would make him and Celebrimbor first cousins. I like the idea of Celebrimbor sort of taking his baby cousin under his wing & the two of them surviving together as the last descendents of Feanor (even though it IS incredibly sexy to have Feanor's entire line end with Celebrimbor. I'm very fond of Erestor Morofinwion).

4: notp

I don't really have one, to be honest, though sometimes I get a bit irritated with Silvergifting being so ubiquitous -- purely because I get tired of seeing it. I've never been a huge Silvergifting fan. But I wouldn't go so far as to say it's a notp. I ship it in the right context with the right characterization!

5: first headcanon that pops into my head

My boy has the world's WORST time blindness. Just...he gets going on a project and nothing else exists.

6: favorite line from this character

We don't have a lot of direct dialogue from him, but I am especially fond of "In the working of this he became a rival of the Dwarves, or rather an equal, for there was great friendship between the Dwarves of Moria and Celebrimbor, and they shared their skills and craft-secrets.", and of course "Speak friend, and enter." Celebrimbor's hubris (which Sauron definitely used against him) is forever fascinating to me, but I think his defining trait is his openness to those around him, to how he forges friendships and alliances just as he forges his masterworks. How incredible it is that he walks in the footsteps of his grandfather, who created three Objects of Power and zealously guarded them as his masterworks -- where Celebrimbor creates three Objects of Power and keeps not one for himself, instead giving them away to his friends. How he goes to his grave in defense of his friends under immense pain and torture. Something something that post which said how this all began with "get thee gone from my gate" and ended with Celebrimbor and "speak friend and enter". I'm feral, okay? He's just so good. He's so good. I am clenching him in both fists.

7: one way in which I relate to this character

That hubristic desire to create a masterwork is something that resonates very deeply with me. I get way too wrapped up in trying to create something "perfect" and it gets lost in the sauce sometimes.

8: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character

The insistence that Silvergifting is canon. No matter how much we would like it to be, it's not. It IS very ubiquitous and it IS a fun ship, but it's not canon and I get very tired of the repeated insistence that it is (which I see a weird amount of going around). But in terms of the character himself, his wee baby crush on Galadriel is so embarassing for him. I can't take them seriously as a ship, because age-difference-wise it's about the equivalent of that time I met my baby cousin Beau for the first time. Beau is about seven years old and he imprinted on me like a baby duckling and got a wee crush. And I just feel like that's how Galadriel feels about Celebrimbor. Like 'aw, that's adorable and kind of weird. Love my baby cousin though'.

9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave?

Cinnamon roll! Too good! Too pure! Too precious! A bright ray of Telperion's light!! <3 I would die for him.

Okay so idk as much about the Superfam (I’ve read like, a single comic with a Super as a main character and it was a YJ one, and I’ve watched most animated shows and the CW Lois and Clark one) but tbh, their whole thing is SUCH a good allegory for immigrants, esp like people escaping from places of violence. Like obviously there’s Kal-El/Clark Kent, who’s like a second gen immigrant, bc he has this whole other culture and home he never will get to know and he still has parts of it in him he doesn’t understand and he knows it scares other people or makes them disgusted (and especially growing up in Midwestern USA - not the most accepting place ever, even if Ma and Pa kent were awesome, as they were) so he learns to only show the parts people are comfortable with while still not really understanding them himself right?

But there’s always gonna be this part of him that needs to be the ideal, to fit everyone’s perception of him, like, and that causes sm friction w the other Superfam members?? Like Kara and Karen (they’re the same person but from different universes right- am I just dumb or) GREW UP on Krypton, they’re first gen immigrants, forced to leave somewhere they knew and come somewhere that no one knows their culture and even Clark is called ‘the last son of Krypton’ even when he’s not Kryptonian ENOUGH bc he didn’t grow up there, to them at least, and bc stuff like ‘the S means hope’ when it’s not an S at all?? But Clark has learned to say and sue stuff like that to make people more comfortable with him, and like, HOW does that not cause friction??

And then obviously there’s like, Chris and Jon and Kon and even Jordan if we include him, and Mia, like so many superkids, but the ones ik most are Kon, Jon, and Jordan. So like Jon and Jordan are really also second gen/third gen, right, like they both want to learn more about who they are and where they came form but there’s only so much they can use to connect to it with and they still feel all distant from it and stuff. Like Jordan has powers, so there’s him trying to connect with a place he wasn’t born in, that has never even EXISTED at the same time as him, but he still has such obvious markers he isn’t ‘normal’ aka like everyone else (ahem immigrants) but he can’t link himself to the place they come from fully. That applies to Jon in the comics. And Jon in CW is even more that - he’s like, he doesn’t even have the same connection Jordan does, he doesn’t even have that ability to connect to such a vital part of who he is, and he seems like he could be ‘normal’ but he’s still not fully human and has this whole other part of himself he doesn’t know how to deal with because no one’s there to tell him about it, he doesn’t know it.

And like, they’re all SO repressed. Repression is literally a key part of all their characters. They’re all, esp Clark, so desperate to keep up the image they’re ‘just like everyone else’ and they go from small Midwestern US town to Metropolis, which my best description of the vibes I’ve always gotten is like, yk those gentrified neighborhoods? The ones where they tear down usually POC lower income neighborhoods and kick people out and build overly glossy, minimalist homes on the backs of all those people with so much below the surface of bleached white countertops etc?? Yeah, that’s what Metropolis reminds me of - there’s so much cruelty and stuff (Lex Luthor lmao) below the shining surface it seems to want to present. And don’t even get me started on small Midwestern USA towns - I’m an immigrant, my cousin is second gen and lives in a Small Midwestern Town, and it is SO bad. “Out of the ordinary” isn’t really a thing people like there.

And SUPERMAN IS A REFLECTION OF THAT, and of IMMIGRANTS. He’s so obsessed with making sure he seems like ‘everyone else’, he and the rest of the superfam just... repress. Like aside from how violating it probably is to have you’re DNA used to make a... whole other being... without your KNOWLEDGE (and the um... comparisons to certain things that could be made), I like to think there’s 100% and element of that Kon is something out of this ‘ordinary’ Clark has forced himself to keep, and that like, scares him, right? He’s spent so long hiding who he is, not really trusting anyone (HIS BASE IS CALLED THE FORTRESS OF S O L I T U D E CMON-), trying to be ‘normal’, and Kon is some random kid who was made in such a violating manner and how can he explain where he came from, how can he make sure he hides everyone that makes him ‘alien’, how can he be sure Kon won’t mess it up- YOU GET IT?

Like everyone in the superfam is so lonely and repressed and none of them talk about it because they have to be shining beacons, paragons, there’s so many complicated dynamics behind the scenes. It’s a story of hiding parts of yourself because you’re never sure what parts will be welcomed at this point. A story about longing for a place you’ve never known, will never know, will never understand, because you aren’t of there, really, but you’re not of where you were raised either, because there’s parts of you that will never mesh with the ‘normal’ they have here. It’s a story about missing a place you had to leave, and feeling alienated and like everything is so DIFFERENT yet everyone acts like you’re abnormal, even when the things that have always been normal to you are shunned even by your own family. It’s a story about trying to connect with parts of yourself you can barely understand, can barely see, about being rejected out of fear of what will happen if you ‘mess up the image’. It’s a story about repressing all your trauma and expectations and keep smiling and being a hero, because they need to want us here, they need to trust us, because you know on some level you’re never really welcome and they need to keep wanting you and that’s what matters.

It’s an immigrant story and I want to see more angst about it please.

Episode 2

Bro snow in the desert is not actually that wierd

Bro. Bro u srsly need to rethink ur tourism program like what the fuck. FREE RADON FOR EVERYONE

I'm sorry but as soon as he said "it changes colors" I immediately envisioned a fuckin. Caramelldansen cloud XD

OH SO IT KILLS PPL. O K A Y .

Bro if literally Existing in Nightvale is so dangerous, how does the population stay afloat. At all.

Sounds like just a normal day in the post office tbh. Also Racist Magic Guy is starting to grow on me. His oblivious stupidity and self-sure incompetence have captivated me.

Honestly a floating cat in the men's bathroom sounds like the least abnormal thing so far. Cats are just Like That™️.

"This message was brought to you by Coca-Cola" yeah that tracks X'D

"Because all of us are normal" bombastic side eye. Criminal offensive side eye

Ah so the secret Boy Scout cult has finally achieved immorality. Good to know. Just another Tuesday ig. Also d a r k s c o u t XD

WAIT "Sign-up is automatic and random" um wat. Hi what. Does. Does this perchance have anything to do with the Ominous Helicopters

This man has *clearly* never been a father. Or had siblings. Or cousins. Ever. Maybe *don't* bring children near the Caramelldansen Cloud of Carrion?

...oh so they just have straight up dragons. Ok. Dragons who commit insurance fraud? *throws hands up* why not

"McDaniels was pulled over for speeding last night" UM SIR how big was that car?!? Actually ykw nvm it prolly just had a pocket dimension or amthn this is fuckin Nightvale why am I trying to use logic

Okay #1. Secret Dragon Society that's actually Not That Secret is kinda cool, #2. WTF DO YOU MEAN STOP SIGN IMMUNITY. like don't get me wrong I *understand the temptation* but also why would you allow dom3thing so profoundly stupid and unsafe as a r e w a r d for

... for being an Alert Citizen. Ok. Ok I guess I can kinda see where they're coming from. Maybe. [Didn't sleep well last night and I'm tired so sorry if my commentary's getting lackluster]

Also stamp system for being compliant with the secret police. Yeah that's not sus at allllll

Bro I wish I could schedule my workplace to be Unknowable some days. Dot Day sounds... ominous, for a number of reasons but more so their implications than anything actually ominous, yk?

[I need sleep]

Bro I would NOT pay $5 for a music lesson like that, let alone $50

"Bake sale proceeds go to blood space war" okay invader zim

"Wednesday has been cancelled due to a scheduling error" XD honestly w my terrible sense of time that just sounds like a normal thing to me

Tfw a your perfectly good ice cream outing is inturupted by a dead lion dropping from the sky

[Continuing this like 3 weeks l8r so sorry for the Commentary Continuity Disruption Leik Woah]

Uhhhhhhhhhh so in the weeks I've been gone I threw myself back asswards into TMA content [so yes v much Spoilers First Bc I Had No Patience] and? I am. Very much getting a Smirke's Fourteen vibe from the Carrion Cloud. Also is Mr radio man. Like. Okayyy??!?!?

AND NOW THE WEATHER

🎶Waitin for the bus in the rain in the rain in the waitin for the bus in the raiiiin 😎 🎶

Damn this is actually a legit bop I would make this new ringtone no question

(Don't get me wrong I fully expect this to have Lore implications later on but for now I'm just Vibin)

NOT SURE WHAT HAPOENED MY ASS

oh. Oh, Tapes, you say??? Well. *strokes imaginary beard*

What. The fuck? Genuine Life Advice? In my horror/weirdcore podcast? It's More Likely Than You'd Think. What. qhat even is this.

Ok so vanilla smell is Important.

This List is probably important but my brain refuses to hold onto any item in detail for longer than 3 seconds. Also "clear plastic binder sheets" made me laugh SO hard for some reason

Genuine question to anyone reading this, how much should I be paying attention? Like is this a Pepe Sylvia red-stringing sort of podcast where every detail is crucial later on, or is it more sort of a go-with-the-flow, Embrace the Absurdity sort of thing?

Why was that "Goodnight, listeners" so threatening?!?!?

*deep, deep inhale* ohhhkay

Next FUCKING EPISUDE I GUESS

hi i want to know your opinions about lalnable hector. this is graded /j

fuck i didn't think anyone would understand what i meant by ship of theseus. ok. ok. obligatory disclaimer i am late to yogs fandom and also have pretty much only watched flux buddies. under cut just in case (i take a couple potshots at various fanon things including ech/oble, sorry)

i don't think we have fully sufficient proof for him being a cannibal specifically of the enjoys it variety. while i'm sure he got the name Lalnable Hector from somewhere i think it's a lot more interesting to explore avenues other than just "oh yeah he loves eating people he does it all the time"

i don't know exactly how to characterize him and five's dynamic but i feel pretty confident in saying that "fucked up evil codependent romance" is NOT the right vibe. maybe it's just weirdness from "he literally made five from a tube" but i've always seen them as more. weird uncle and your equally weird cousin once removed that are the same age even though one of them is a full generation "younger"

everyone forgets lalnable has canon voice dysphoria. why does everyone forget this. he uses a voice changer because he is uncomfortable with the way his voice is pitched. he is SO trans coded. yes this also means that every lalna is trans by proxy i know what im about

i feel like people need to do more with the fact that he was locked in a box in yoglabs for [unspecified period of time] after helping with the cloning project. he finished being useful. he saw what was happening and tried to stop it. he was erased from history and disgraced for it and LOCKED IN A BOX--

much like every lalna. yes he's a himbo. yes he's also incredibly smart and intelligent please give him more credit than "dumbass"

really lalnable is like. i think he's a more nuanced character than he seems to have been given credit for. i'm not saying he doesn't have aspects of "insane murderhobo mad scientist" to him but i think those mannerisms may be a little bit more deliberate and intentional than people give them credit for. this also obviously means he's not just Pure Evil that part is yoglabs propaganda

lalnable is doing a Bit. he's doing the Evil Bit because it's the only unique sense of identity he has remaining in a world where he has been wholly replaced by countless doppelgangers from a project he helped run, working for people he thought he could trust. he clings to the things that make him unique even if they're traits that were leveraged to villainize him because at least then that proves he was an individual to begin with.

and the number one opinion:

lalnable hector is absolutely the original i cannot stress this enough not only does he literally say it in the 2.0 finale but the entire arc of flux buddies as a series and anything meaningful it would have to say about identity and self-idealization is fully kneecapped if you think lalnable is a clone. he is not a clone he is the original lalna. that's the entire point of his character in a meta sense he is a question of identity he is the brand new ship of theseus he is the first simon jarett he is the shape echoed in the funhouse mirror distortions of all the lalna clones. he may not have always been lalnable hector, but he was the original lalna.

#yt #ask #orig #anonymous #yogs #did i get a good grade in lalnable hector anon #i wont change my opinions either way but you said it would be graded so i expect a grade now

Do you think Bloom gets too much screen time? She is the main character of the show but people say it focuses on her too much

Nope lol

Well, let me clarify that

I mean all the villains from 1-3 and ~4 are personal to Bloom, and she's not much of a screen hog

In s1 she and we lean about the world and about everything, and a unsurprising amount of screen time is given to Riven and his arc and Riven's basically always been the main character of the male characters (which is really funny because s7). So all of this makes sense, the two people who have the most important arcs get the most amount of screen time, with Bloom getting the most because duh and also learning about the world

S2 pushes Bloom back, she's still the main character, but the conflict of S2 (Dark Bloom) turns Bloom herself into a non entity. Letting all the other characters, especially new girl Aisha, shine. This was an excellent choice, chill out the Bloom focus and give us more of the other girls

S3 I feel has weird priories, not specifically about Bloom but in general. I love s3 but it is certainly trying to do a lot and gets it's a mess sometimes. Like how it doesn't show what Sky and Brandon are doing on Eraklyon, what Aisha was doing on Andros, or what Tecna was doing on Omega. This isn't because it over focus's on Bloom tho, the most egregious examples of this is the fucking pixie episode. Also the fact that there are two finales?? Why??? But it's not because of an over focus on Bloom lol

S4 is also fine when it comes to Bloom screentime. She is literally just vibing with her girls. It's more like everyone except Flora and Tecna we're hogging screen time

Then you get to s5 AND OH MY GET HER OFF THE SCREEN!!! AISHA'S FAMILY IS IN DANGER BLOOM I DO NOT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT YOUR ANNOYING ASS BOYFRIEND. I liked Sky, and then they made his s5 personality and subjected me to the worst subplot in the show yet and I am GOING TO BITE SOMEONE. We get like 2 moments of Aisha coming to terms with Nabu's death and a entire COMPLETELY MEANINGLESS subplot about Sky losing his memory. Apparently Aisha doesn't even get to defeat the main villain even though he's her cousin???? THIS is Bloom getting too much screen time. The writers prioritizing Bloom is actively harming Aisha's character arc and story and taking time a away from a much more interesting plot line for bullshit. If you wanted to focus on Bloom MAYBE DON'T MAKE THE ENEMY PERSONAL TO AISHA???

I will never understand why people complain about Bloom getting too much screen time in s1-4, like aside from not liking her character, a real narrative dislike. But in s5? Yeah I get it. Bloom is actively stealing narrative beats from Aisha. Like how she stole Musa's dream in s4. Tbh s4 was just the set up for Bloom being a fucking plot line THEIF. But the Nick era seasons are kinda known for bad writing???? So uh, yeah, that would be another example of later seasons Winx being bad™

So "Does Bloom get too much screen time?" Not in the seasons that are good, also not in s4

#they should of just made Aisha the other main character and had long sections dedicated to her like s1 Riven but more #winx club #rus chatters #asks

Dragging Frankenstein - Chapter 8

Time to make an innocent bystander suffer!

“A thousand times rather would I have confessed myself guilty of the crime […]” but “such a declaration would have been considered as the ravings of a madman" – And we can’t have people thinking you’re crazy. Got it. IT’S ALL ABOUT ME: 8

“I suffered living torture” – he can’t even feel bad for Justine without whining about how he suffers from his guilt.

Strange timing to note that Justine has grown up hot.

“confused and unintelligible answer” – well, that sure is weird from SOMEONE WHO WAS UP ALL NIGHT.

I’m not sure how to feel about the Creature being so insidious. Like, why pin it on Justine? William was a little twit and at least hurting him was hurting Victor, but how does Justine play into that?

Come to think of it, the creature’s hand prints on William’s neck must be way too big for Justine’s hands. Does no one here even look at the evidence they have? Do they just rely on gossip and witnesses (of which there are none)?

“I am the cousin of the unhappy child, or rather his sister”, or his mother, or his sister-in-law. Whatever. INCEST VIBES: 8

“acted like a most affectionate mother” – EVERY WOMAN IS A MOM: 7

“My own agitation and anguish was extreme during the trial” IT’S ALL ABOUT ME: 9

Woe would be upon Victor if he ever realized that something in the world is not about him.

“the tortures of the accused did not equal mine” -.- This is so fucking entitled, it gets a double whammy. IT’S ALL ABOUT ME: 10

And then they actually BELIEVE that she’s guilty?? Even Victor doubts his conviction for a moment, what a fucking DUMBASS. Ugh, I can’t believe these people.

And I hate Justine’s confessor with a passion. That ain’t religious support; that is fucking emotional torture. And, as every torture, it gets a false confession.

“I soon shall see you in heaven” – uh, no, Justine, you’re about to die with a lie on your lips. According to your own convictions, you’re going to hell for perjury.

“The poor victim felt not as I did, such deep and bitter agony” …is Victor trying to set a record here or what? IT’S ALL ABOUT ME: 11

He does fucking NOTHING. He just WATCHES the whole ordeal. He watches Justine die and feels oh so bad for himself and doesn’t say ONE FUCKING WORD. I haaaaaate him.

And again, Victor gets gratefulness he doesn’t deserve. Justine, darling. Don’t. He’s got nothing to be credited for; he’s literally delivering you to the scaffold for. I dunno, his reputation?

“her’s was also the misery of innocence” – I think Victor has fallen in love with that count. IT’S ALL ABOUT ME: 12

Justine’s farewell to Elizabeth is so bittersweet, ngl, and gets her a queer send-off. DAS GAY: 19

“my purposed avowal died away on my lips” – yeah, right, as if. God, I hate him so much this chapter.

This chapter just may be where Shelley deliberately has the entire God-Adam-Lucifer parallel crash and burn. Because according to the set-up, the role of Eve, one that's crucial for the Paradise Lost reference, is not filled. Eve is curious and proactive, as much a corrupter as she is corruptible - but female characters in Frankenstein are all passive, meek little saints with no agenda. Justine clearly is punished for being in possession of something she shouldn't have, but she is as pure as they come. So her being punished is a miscarriage of justice - and Victor, self-proclaimed God, fails to set this right. Whelp, someone has to take the fall, Justine. Bummer. By which I mean Victor deserves to suffer.

#Frankenstein #personal opinions #disclaimer: this is just for shits and giggles

Oh, you're an Aries?? I'm an Aries too baby!! 🙌🙌

I was born April 18th 1998.

I'm only a few days younger than Seonghwa and that's why I feel I can analyse him so much.

Because I just see so much of myself in him.

Don't get me wrong, our natal chart placements are quite different.

He's a Cancer Moon + Rising

I'm a Capricorn Moon+ Scorpio Rising

He's an Aries Mars, I'm a Taurus Mars.

He's an Aquarius Venus. I'm a Pisces Venus.

And it hurts me so much knowing we're not really compatible 😭😭.

And then obviously gender needs to be into account because Aries Men are SOOO different compared to Aries Women.

And I completely agree about the physical aggression, I don't feel Seonghwa would be a bully but he can be very hurtful with his words in the moment.

How do I know? Because I'm the same.

And that's why I feel Seonghwa probably won't settle down or have children until his late 30s-early 40s when he has the emotional wisdom in just BEING a partner instead of over-thinking about being the perfect partner.

Plus I just feel Seongwha is probably in his fuckboi phase and is just slinging it left, right & centre.

(Which I mean, I volunteer. Just 10 minutes Seongwha 🙏.

I may not have much in experience but I will make up for in enthusiasm.)

Because even though Seonghwa is my ult.

I am not delusional and I know he's probably getting it on the side quite regularly.

There are people walking around in the world, having signed an NDA with Seonghwa and they just can't say a thing.

Ppl have had that experience with Seonghwa and they're not telling anybody??

They are truly gods favourite 😂😂.

March 24th Aries, yep yep. Aries stellium - Sun, Moon and Venus. Gemini Ascendant and Mercury, Cancer Mars. Fucking hate that last one lol, puts a damper on the whole rest of my vibe.

With the full understanding that I'm far less knowledgeable about astrology, I wouldn't get too bogged down in the placements when it comes down to it because an Aries is an Aries at the end of the day, the whole core of us is about getting up and doing things, being uncomplicated (relatively), direct and honest and being that person that's in too much of a rush to get too deep in the details or construct an entire fake personality. There are exceptions to every rule, but there's still an Aries essence that I feel on an intuitive level we just relate to, you know?

I never felt that Aries men and women were very different, to be honest, but I was also lucky to grow up in one of the countries with the least sexism and gender gap in the world. I have an Aries first cousin who I grew up with and we were like siblings, we behaved so similarly but in fact now in our late 20s, the one who behaves more masculine is actually me, despite looking very feminine physically. And I'm not even on any part of the rainbow. My 6'3" Aries cousin literally shrinks when I tell him off sometimes or ask him a super direct question lol. If anything, me being a first decan Aries and my cousin a second decan is the main difference between us. Where his words inspire and compliment, mine provoke. Where he's a social butterfly, a good leader in his life now with a big community, I'm the maverick, the only one of the family that literally abandoned our community to go pursue my own goals and build something of my own. But I'm still an extrovert and I love people and love a party!

I do agree about Seonghwa being more likely to settle later in life, and there are some very real-world and cultural reasons for this on top of wisdom coming late for Aries. In Korea nowadays and especially in kpop, people are getting married and settling down far later than ever, in their mid to late 30s as standard, especially men. ITZY Yeji recently talked on a show about her mother who was in her early 20s when she had her, and it was an UPROAR, they were all so shocked.

I also for sure agree with Seonghwa getting some on the side 😆 As an Aries tribe we're too sexual, cocky and bad at waiting for gratification to stay celibate for long lol 😂 Sex is literally a way of communication for someone that isn't so focused on words but on actions and defaulting to using his body to get tnings done. I imagine he's very good at direct but casual flirting, as well as straightforward hookups. Literally just a look, a sentence or two, a compliment and an NDA mentioned as a condition, and he's off to the bedroom (or love hotel or "part-time karaoke", I saw these in Korea when I went, he ain't fooling anyone)

FOUR DAYS AGO I watched the desolation of smaug half wishing I was still feverish so that I had an excuse for being bored. and then I was so bored I got tired halfway through making this post. but I finished it at last!

Instead of doing the things I liked/things I didn’t like I’ll split my thoughts and complaints into a few broad categories:

1 - These Sindar Are Getting Soooo Far Ahead Of Themselves (the legolas stuff)

2 - Peter Jackson Sees A Thirty Second Sequence And Says “Is Anyone Gonna Turn This Into Twenty Minutes Of Action” And Does Not Wait For An Answer (the other things added in. so like 90% of the movie)

3 - Creepy Pale Creatures In Caves Trying To Kill Us Can Live But Creepy Pale Creatures In Forests Trying To Kill Us Cannot (the stuff actually related to the actual plot of the actual book. which this title is not. but I couldn’t think of anything better.)

so here we go.

CATEGORY 1: SINDAR NONSENSE

I’m a fan of Elves in general so they come first. But I am more a fan of the Noldor so I get to make fun of the Sindar. (Except Luthien. love you queen. you’d beat all these guys up any day.)

Also relevant is that for some reason the subtitles were broken so if I had regular English subtitles on they wouldn’t subtitle the black speech the orcs are speaking or the elvish. I had to switch to the non-subtitle tracks to get that. And it took me like... a third of the way into the movie to figure that out. Which was extremely annoying! I was trying to read French before that (it wasn’t working).

These elves are described as “less wise and more dangerous” which really does not roll off the tongue like “more dangerous and less wise” does. really saw no reason why they had to change that around because it actually caught me off guard.

But this isn’t about them. This is about Legolas. Shield-Surfing Legolas is soooo eighty years from now, and because everyone loved that so much they decided to introduce him by Spider-Surfing. And then he treats us all to greatest hits of The Sindar Are Doing What Now moments:

- Legolas takes Orcrist and makes a comment about “this is an elvish blade. forged by my kin” THEY’RE NOT YOUR KIN THOUGH? Like Elrond saying “this was forged by my kin” was because his literal great-grandpa wielded Glamdring. Legolas has absolutely no relation to these guys. they’re completely different groups of elves which the movie highlights. get over yourself man.

- They called one of the guards (possibly the keeper of the keys) Elros. You can’t just use a name like Elros Tar-Minyatur First King Of Numenor Son Of Earendil And Elwing to name your useless drunk guard. again. get over yourselves.

- They deprived us of the perfect “because we’re starving” scene to instead give us Thranduil demanding white gems. ok sindar king trying to get gems from the dwarves. [polishing kinslaying swords] you guys never learn do you.

- Thranduil just had a lot of Thingol Moments in this one. Both with the “other lands are not our concern” and the whole thing whatever with him not wanting Legolas to marry Tauriel because she’s a Silvan elf???

- SILVAN ELVES ARE LIKE YOUR COUSINS WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT again these guys need to get over themselves. you’re not calaquendi. you’ve never been to valinor. THE SILVAN ELVES WERE IN MIRKWOOD BEFORE YOU. It just seems like a weirdly unnecessary little detail here. Act high and mighty if you are in Doriath with Queen Melian but when you’re hiding in your spider infested woods where most of the people there are Silvan elves maybe get over yourself thingol. I mean thranduil. that was a genuine mistake and I made it several more times whenever thranduil came up.

- I mean I’d get the conflict if she was one of the stray Noldor or something and her red hair is giving Kinslaying Vibes but really now. It’s not like she’s a human. Or a dwarf. (Would be funny if you subscribe to Gimli/Legolas if Thranduil’s just like hey son have you talked to Tauriel lately. she’s seeming more and more appealing as a daughter-in-law every day.)

- Athelas. This is another pedantic thing. Obviously they’re having this whole Athelas healing thing as a callback to Arwen, as if Tauriel and Kili can match up to Aragorn and Arwen at all. anyways if this is a morgul thing (see next point) I think this should be beyond Tauriel’s skill at healing because she’s no Elrond. She’s a warrior. How would she even know... whatever.

- SO KILI GETS HIT BY A MORGUL-TIPPED ARROW? Like these things can just be carried around by these useless grunt orcs? It’s a Nazgul thing! god. why can’t it just be poisoned like a normal thing.

Overall the thing is I think you could include Legolas and co in this in a somewhat appealing way. Tauriel’s speech to Legolas about “why are we letting evil continue, aren’t we part of this world, shouldn’t we help them” would be perfectly fine for motivation without the 30 second dwarf romance that they felt the need to shove in there. and then the love triangle which is even worse. Like come on and show Legolas partying with his friends and getting wine-drunk that would be infinitely more fun than him lurking around danganronpa-posing while tauriel is talking to kili for no reason.

CATEGORY 2: JACKSON NONSENSE

I do feel a little bad ascribing all of this to peter jackson because I’m sure it’s not entirely his fault but I feel like enough of it is. The main thing is every time I see those fucking orcs hunting the dwarves I want to smack my head against a wall because they’re always here to derail the plot.

- Beorn’s whole thing gets cut down dramatically (I’m guessing it’s longer in the extended edition but I’m not watching those, this felt long enough) and they start the whole thing with Beorn in bear form chasing after them. and then skip to morning when human Beorn is making them breakfast. like he didn’t try to kill them as a bear? or doesn’t preserve memories? it just all made very little sense and was clearly there to start with an action sequence. and there’s very little explanation on why he’s chill with the dwarves being in his house after he tried to kill them as a bear for some reason.

- also he gets random backstory where he’s the last of his kind which is absolutely not true. I fail to see what it serves to say “all the other Beornings are dead” when I don’t think they get any payoff.

I have the same complaint all the time which is “You Did Not Need To Turn This Into An Action Scene” so just copy+paste that in your mind and apply that to:

- wandering around mirkwood and losing the path in about five seconds and then everyone just hallucinating the whole time. path is not hard to find guys.

- Barrels Out Of Bond (this one was ESPECIALLY protracted and annoying)

- getting into laketown

- we’ve gotta split the party up for kili’s mandated romantic plotline. I genuinely can’t remember when and how they get back. “do you think she could have loved me :(” you knew her for like thirty seconds WHEN YOU WERE BEING HELD PRISONER. like tolkien romance requires you guys to be staring at each other in the woods for at least a few hours before I’d buy it.

- not an action scene necessarily but the weird conflict with the door where it seemed like only bilbo cared about getting back in and they all left after fifteen seconds when the sun set.

- Bilbo outrunning Smaug in what otherwise was a decent enough scene

- The dwarves?? Confronting?? Smaug????? This one was really annoying for the reason of somehow they’re all completely heat resistant and did not suffer at all from the dragon literally breathing fire on them. I was actually taken out of it when Smaug finally turned to Bilbo like “oh I should pay laketown a visit” like OH WE’RE BACK TO THE BOOK. WE’RE BACK TO THE BOOK. OKAY and then it got derailed again by thorin melting a massive golden statue of thror over smaug for some reason

- “hey I heard you guys really liked it when gandalf’s staff broke against the witch-king. why don’t I do it again”

you know what even typing that list exhausted me.

anyways that’s where I left off so let’s hope I remember enough about this movie four days later.

CATEGORY 3: THIS STUFF IS ACTUALLY TANGENTIALLY RELATED TO THE BOOK BUT STILL MOSTLY NONSENSE

- first let’s have a compliment it IS pretty interesting to see the chance-meeting between gandalf and thorin even if thorin ruins it by saying “this was no chance meeting” implying it was gandalf’s machinations rather than the will of Iluvatar or at least fate. but it is an important scene! “We might now hope to return from the victory here only to ruin and ash. But that has been averted - because I met Thorin Oakenshield one evening on the edge of spring in Bree. A chance-meeting, as we say in Middle-earth.” so that’s an important significant thing that happened and it’s cool to see.

- they did the mirkwood spiders thing but instead of, again, bilbo being clever and taunting the spiders and calling them names he throws a SINGLE stone which almost all the spiders run after. for more ~action~ I guess. “attercop” gets namedropped once but just barely and like a spider says it? when spiders do not like being called attercop. it was weird.

- I will say though that there is some interesting stuff in the hobbit added in by virtue of “this story is around when we already know about lotr” unlike the actual book. one of those is bilbo killing that baby spider creature over the ring. I think it’s an interesting addition even though it kind of. feels strange. when he spared gollum out of pity which is important but then is like “BUT THIS BABY SPIDER CREATURE HAS TO GO.”

- I think these movies become infinitely funnier if you assume that Someone Doing A Massive Heroic Leap is middle-earth’s most powerful aphrodisiac and following the Leap of Bilbo thorin is now madly in love with bilbo but is very bad at handling it. he just flings himself at the bars of his cell when bilbo comes by. “I will not risk this quest for the life of one.............. burglar” dude. like I first got really into tolkien right around when movie 3 came out and a lot of tolkien-adjacent tumblr was big on bagginshield so I’m still wired to pick this stuff up. you have keen eyes master baggins ;)

- thorin directly promises gold to laketown which I do not recall him doing and I guess is to have him look worse next movie.

- snow is very obviously cgi’d. like if I’m noticing it, it’s bad.

- bilbo knocks down piles of gold as he’s wandering around in an extremely clumsy move not really befitting the idea of hobbits being able to move very quietly and mostly unseen. but whatever

- ALSO on top of the “things that are interesting to include with the context of lotr being in the future” is the part where smaug says “precious” and it echoes around and makes bilbo take off the ring. extra fun if you subscribe also to the “precious is really just a translation of mairon” line of thinking.

- unfortunately they could not find a way to include the line “His rage passes description - the sort of rage that is only seen when rich folk that have more than they can enjoy suddenly lose something that they have long had but have never before used or wanted.” which is one of my favorite lines from the book.

- oh the arkenstone. it’s very glowy-from-within. no wonder people are suspecting it’s maedhros’s silmaril. BUT WE ALL KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT NOW. IT’S IN A TREE I GUESS. anyways the arkenstone definitely has inflated importance here.

OVERALL: we’re on the downhill slope and the battle of five armies, a three hour movie based off of like max 60 little pages of text, is next. I’m dreading it every hour that we get closer to galadriel magic blasting orcs in the face while wandering around in a white dress barefoot like she’s idril celebrindal or something. and other stuff happens I can barely remember but I do recall laughing at it because the special effects got so bad at one point.

but anyways see you then eventually for that :/

Hey 👋

Idk if you remember me but it's the one who has the 'Simon in the wild' best friend

That's a very vague reference ik. But well I'm here for something else. I haven't been really active on Tumblr recently but well here's the update I'm still bsfs with Simon guy ofc. But who'd have thought I kinda got interested in a guy in my college (honestly surprising) who's from a different major.

Guy doesn't read at all...I mean tries but it's just not his thing (he has one of my books). Though he really appreciates my long essays about books n shadowhunters basically. Like literally yesterday I just mentioned I'm so obsessed with Morgensterns n he wanted to know why ...I asked if he wants the whole reference later or should I cut it short tell rn (we've got our finals) he's like nah I'll prefer the essay , tell me about it later. Idk I just find it really sweet lol.

Hehe well Happy New year Jules ✨✨ hope you have an amazing year ahead

You n Bry are like the cousins I can drop by randomly for some tea (literally and metaphorically).

Lots of love n cookies 🍪🍪

omg hi!!! happy new year to you too!! <3 i was just thinking about you the other day, actually :) glad to know you and simon guy are still besties hehe i will say tho i am very excited about this development..

is there anything like actually romantic going on between you two or is it still friendship vibes? bc idkkk a person who actively wants to hear your thoughts about everything like that... i wouldn't be surprised if he was into you too hehe regardless tho.. having someone you can rant to like that? what a great feeling fr and it makes me happy you have someone you can do that with irl <3

also now i want to read this essay about the morgensterns.. please feel free to return to tea time to rant about that ;) or whatever really! yk i'm always here for both kinds of tea <3 i hope you and simon friend are doing well!!

#love and cookies to you too hehe <3 #simon anon #asks

LINAAAAA! i am here to ask for your oc's with their genshin kins because why not??? i am wholeheartedly curious hehe >:D i hope you've been doing well too! <3 hopefully, the electricity won't be a menace to you this time 🤧

and yes, faye is a kuki shinobu kinnie! i got strong faye vibes when i found out shinobu disliked being a shrine maiden (aka a 'proper' profession like how RSA is to faye) and was like 'that's it.' HAHA

- bree <3

hi bree! i'm taking a little break from tumblr rn because i need to take care of some personal stuff (also taking breaks from social media is just good for my mental health dsjsksk) but i'm mostly okay! and thankfully, we had no electricity problems lately!

okay, so i know some stuff about genshin characters, but i'm not a lore expert AT ALL, so please correct me if i'm wrong. this will mostly be based on their vibes dhjdjkdkld. anyway, get ready for some of my ocs to fight yours because they wouldn't want to share their kins. (not me though. noah, we both kin keqing, let's be besties)

my ocs' genshin kins!

avery: keqing + diluc

yeah, he's gonna fight both faye and noah. i feel like he has their energy! he's a serious and responsible boy, who's kinda really mean on the outside, but is actually more kind and understanding than people think. also, his hatred of beautiful people is similar to diluc hating knights of favonius and keqing not being a fan of archons, i think! it especially fits because avery is himself quite beautiful and diluc used to be one of the knights before and keqing has a vision, so like.. yeah. it doesn't help that when he's a nrc student, avery gets sorted into pomefiore, which is kinda like keqing getting a vision despite hating archons, haha.

vance: barbara

i remember someone (i think it was you or taruchi? I MEAN WE ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO KNOW ABOUT GENSHIN THERE) from the server mentioned that vance is similar to bennett and yeah, i can see why! i don't think he would actually kin him, but he would tell everyone that he kins klee and bennett. his real kin would be barbara! i like to say that vance is a venti kinnie because of his design and energy, but when i thought more deeply about it.. yeah, i think he's actually more like barbara. barbara kinda feels inferior to her big sister and she wants to be just as tall great as her, which is very similar to vance dreaming of becoming just as mature as his upperclassmen. he really wants to make people happy and he likes the attention, so he keeps acting like a cute little brother around them. it makes people smile and he also gets headpats! he's also a heartslabyul idol in a way! astro who he doesn't want to give up and he still wishes to become an example for future freshmen, but it does.. get tiring sometimes.

merrill: lisa

listen. he has definitely cosplayed her at least once. i wouldn't be surprised if he also kinned her. LIKE LOOK AT THEM. LOOK. though i chose her not only because of them having this purple theme and teasing people often, i think their personalities really are similar. merrill doesn't like irresponsible and lazy people.. but he's also kinda lazy in a way. he's a third-year, but he has never tried to join any clubs before guess who found out recently that nrc students absolutely MUST join a club. oh well i guess merrill is a special case and he's a lot more relaxed than his cousin. he doesn't take most things seriously, for example, he agreed to be a stargazer only because he knew he would look good in that outfit. however, he's still okay with giving advice to his underclassmen and his advice is actually surprisingly good.

allen: childe

*SIGHS* look at this guy. this is literally allen. allen would say stuff like "hey girlie, hold still" UNIRONICALLY. I JUST KNOW IT. also that one quote from the official website? "behind that innocent, childlike exterior lies a finely honed instrument of war" yes, very allencore. and yeah, their financial situations are also similar, if allen was a genshin character, he would definitely go "traveler, move, let me pay for this", haha. his backstory also kinda has allen's vibes, idk how to explain.

roland: zhongli + kazuha

i just went "okay, so like, an old man and a chill guy who has a dark past. yep, that's roland". rayyan doesn't have to worry about having to fight roland though, he'd be more than happy to be kin twins with him <3 he would be glad to share a kin with mistral too! they'd be not only gardener buddies, but also kin buddies! :D

fake!jay: albedo + ayaka

yes, i did mention that jays are similar to ei and raiden, but.. i don't think they would actually kin them.. but hey, the cloning situation is still the same for albedo HAHA fake!jay definitely has albedo and ayaka's vibes, he's very elegant and prince-like (or at least he tries to act like that), his creator really tried to make him a perfect rsa student. however, jay also doesn't know much about this world, for example, he's not good with technology and he needs other students' help with things like that. he's excited to learn more though, he's a curious type and he's always ready to take more notes. also, this boy really wants to make more friends and have a fun school life, just like his creator wanted ;w; anyway, jay and damien should be friends. their personalities are similar, they have the same va and they're kin twins!

real!jay: rosaria

he would kin her. he just would. he would take a character that looks goth/emo/just edgy and go "yeah, that's me", EVEN THOUGH HE'S NOT GOTH/EMO AT ALL. they have similar vibes, they're very tired and can be rude and sarcastic, but.. that's where their similarities end. jay is much softer than rosaria, this guy wouldn't hurt a fly and he also really wants to be useful to ramshackle students, because they let him stay here and he feels like he owes them. but he wants to be this woman! he wants to be just as cool as her! he wants to believe they're more similar!

austin: diona + mona

austin saw diona and went "i wish i looked like this" HSDJFKDKSD. i think he definitely has diona's vibes, both of them are very >:( also i think they're similar, because austin obviously has a talent for dealing with technology and he knows a lot about it, but he actually finds it boring and he doesn't want to do anything with it, meanwhile diona hates alcohol, but works as a bartender. i think even if austin tried to break his own inventions, they would still work fine, just like diona's drinks taste good even if she tries to ruin them. about him kinning mona, IT'S BECAUSE OF THEIR PERSONALITIES. even though austin doesn't find technology that interesting, he's still proud of his skills and knowledge and he hates when someone turns out to be better than him. so please make sure to praise him a lot, okay? that's pretty much his only motivation, that's why he still works with machines, even if ignihyde students are terrified of him, they can't deny he's talented and they always praise him.

minnie: eula

minnie WOULD kin eula. she would look at her and go "omg you go queen, we're so alike". just like austin and diona, minnie and eula have >:( energy and they're very intimidating. also tsunderes haha however, if eula is hated because of her family, nrc students are scared of minnie simply because of how she acts around guys. MINNIE IS ALSO VERY STRONG THOUGH, SO IT'S GOOD THAT THEY'RE SCARED OF HER, SHE'S TINY BUT SHE CAN PUNCH YOU.

hayden: .. i'm gonna be honest here. i have NO IDEA which genshin character he would kin. this guy doesn't even know the game that well and finds it overrated. (in roland and fake!jay's case, roland would most likely get into genshin because he wants to be like the "cool kids" and fake!jay would ask other students about the game and he wouldn't actually play it, but he would read about the lore. ALLEN WOULD JUST GET INTO IT BECAUSE OF NEMIS) i'm also not sure which character he's most similar to? i thought of xingqiu and kokomi, but.. i think he would kin someone more dangerous. even though you shouldn't mess with kokomi I MEAN I GUESS HE CAN BE A CHILDE KINNIE TOO BUT CHILDE IS WAY TOO EXTROVERTED FOR HIM

riley: qiqi

should i even explain why riley would kin her. precious emotionless children who always go :| and talk slowly. i just know that riley would want to find a cocogoat too, haha.

angel: venti

THIS IS THE REAL VENTI KINNIE. angel is definitely.. something. they're weird, unpredictable, QUIRKY, no one knows what's going on in their head. some rsa students have never seen them before and they were SHOCKED when they found out that angel is actually a dorm leader. they're just.. not a perfect rsa student. in fact, they act more like a nrc student. and they keep saying that they want to be the best dorm leader at this school, but they'd rather let bunny do all the work and hang out with their dorm members instead. their responsibilities are just so boring.. um, they're still trying their best though!

bunny: sara

again, should i even explain this one. bunny will do anything for her dorm, even if she hates its students. she's still very responsible and she takes her job as a vice leader seriously. she wishes angel would be more like her though.. but oh well, she will continue to act like a loyal vice dorm leader until she can transfer to a different dorm. y-yeah, sara genuinely likes raiden and she's proud of being tenryou commission's leader, but.. hey, bunny doesn't have to be just like her to kin her!

#also a fun fact i kin klee barbara mona keqing and ayaka :D feel free to psychoanalyze me #i really couldn't kinassign hayden. i'm sorry my son #haha what if i assign them genshin elements-#friend: bree!#beauty with self grown thorns: avery #a gamer skater boy: vance #idia's e boy servant: merrill #the ultimate simp: allen #the gardening club leader: roland thorn #the literature and animals lover: jay #the lonely mechanic: austin #the mouse girlboss: minnie #the chameleon with a god complex: hayden #allen's kuudere cousin: riley #a strange but loving dorm leader: angel #a stressed vice dorm leader: bunny
