I must thank @akunose again for uploading quiet music playthrough videos of the Nibelheim Incident in Japanese for me a long while ago. The post I am writing on Sephiroth and Hojo’s relationship is the one that I requested these videos for and I hope to have it done not far from now.

In the mean time, what a strange scene this is!

They included Sephiroth’s original laugh when Cloud appears before this, yes. For OG fans, this laugh is a key moment to mark Sephiroth’s madness!

However, in Rebirth they added this part of Sephiroth experiencing a few Jenova flashes again. Images of the pods too and Hojo.

Sephiroth sounds like he is trying to cry afterwards? I think I hear him almost laugh too, but it is unlike any laugh he does again. It sounds choked. I hope somebody in the future uses the free camera on the PC version to see his expressions.

He also says,

母に会いに行く

“I am going to see my mother”

….in Japanese, which was translated as “Mother is waiting.” I don’t know why. The OG line is more iconic, but what can we do 😅

I've been thinking about this reblog of yours for months and I finally figured out how to respond to it.

I went and read No Longer Human by Junji Ito and it was a very upsetting thing to go through. I don't think I can read it again. However, I came out of it thinking that Gege was probably inspired by it.

When Yozo is first introduced, I noticed that Takaba's backstory was very similar. Feeling isolated from others, he decided to become a clown to gain acceptance from others. (Citations in Image Captions)

And later when Yozo was caught "cheating" (it's in quotes because those women are child rapists), I noticed that her face was really similar to the one Higuruma's client made when he felt betrayed by the trial outcome.

There's probably a lot more to say about how themes surrounding CSA and suicide in this work are echoed in JJK, but I'm not able to make the post myself. No Longer Human is too far out of my comfort zone in terms of graphic depiction to delve into it deeper.

But you seem strong enough to handle it, so... Idk maybe run with this some more.

Ohhh this is so interesting! I could definitely read No Longer Human again - tbh I read Junji Ito's version years ago. This year I listened to the audio book and bought a copy - but it's like, a draft in the author's handwriting (bc I thought it would help me study Japanese and if I had an English translation that I'd read it on repeat lmao). But you're real for that - I forget how disturbed people tend to be trying to read through it, I'm sorry that was rough.

I did go back to read the reblog and idk how relevant all that was - I've reread the manga since and felt like, oh I might have been misremembering some things like Uraume - idk if they actually had a freeze response in ch. 219, since they did tell Yorozu to back off though it took a minute - but it's also interesting how their CT deals with ice. Like to have a fight response, they freeze others? It's so interesting but I can't be sure whether it's there at all. (ik that yap II inspired some more coherent posts, like how it influenced Choso's self-image, etc., I linked but didn't tag you back then bc I felt Annoying especially w heavy topics but I can definitely go back and find them if you'd like.)

On a twin peaks note (without spoiling it), I feel like it inspired jjk to some extent - I've been feeling like the last chapter will end the way s2 did. Or at least - with the weird dreamy themes, "we are the dreamer who dreams and who lives inside the dream", etc...

But you're right - Yozo and the others' reactions resemble more jjk characters than I would think to connect. Takaba's jokes are truly a shield... And now I have an excuse to read Junji Ito's version again? Thank u so much (also isn't it funny how September 28 Uzumaki airs and September 30 jjk ends?).

I think gege gets inspired by the most tragic stories, I wonder how much of that is accurate but I can't always be convinced otherwise.... Especially when anime / manga series that he's confirmed as influences often deal with autonomy in ways that I couldn't handle (Evangelion, the night beyond the tricornered window).

By the way - ik we've mentioned elfen lied before, but in the first episode, you know that coffee mug? How it looks like jjk foreshadowing? Even has snail head Mahito - cut off-, the baseball, Panda, the worm (also cut off).... and later the newborn babies that look just like Yuuji...

I swear that elfen lied, Kagewani, and banana fish influenced jjk. It seems so obvious w those, maybe Vampire Princess Miyu as well.

Sorry for getting off topic - I've been looking into why Momotaro keeps coming up in jujutsu kaisen, and in the end it came back full circle to that damn coffee cup. Invest in a baseball team? A zoo? I'm going insane.

All this to say - rereading Junji Ito's version and seeing if I notice similarities between manga panels is so exciting. Gege even made a note that he asked for permission before drawing - I think it was the Uzumaki CT - So we know he's a big fan of Junji Ito. And it seems like there is a rly good chance No Longer Human inspired him as well (though I feel like characters with similar traumas having similar reactions is inevitable to some extent, if they're written in a believable way, it should be clearer when I'm reading both stories in the same format) based on the stories he has officially referenced.

WIP Wednesday (MLC longfic again!)

Now that my amnesia fic is posted, it's time for more of my MLC longfic! At long last, LLH is awake again . . . and not doing that well.

(You can find earlier excerpts here.)

CW/TW: Panic attack, bicha flare, suicidal ideation

Something was different. The pain was there as always, waiting to devour him whole once he acknowledged it, but there was something else, something blanketing it, muting it somehow.

Li Lianhua stretched out his senses like a limb and tried to make sense of it.

Ah. Warmth. That was the strange sensation. Warmth–heat, even–all around him–his back, his chest, his legs, even his fingers, which had been more like blocks of ice than flesh and blood these last few months.

He leaned back, pushing into the banked heat behind him. The solid core of warmth tucked against his front from navel to neck twitched, then pressed against him more securely, as though it could make a home for itself inside his sternum, ribs, and spine and heat him from within.

He felt warm everywhere.

Well, almost everywhere.

He rolled forward slightly, wiggled further down on the bed, and tugged the core of warmth up higher. He curled his arms and shoulders around it and nestled the bit in his hand between his face and the pillow until it cradled his cheek. 

Much better.

He smiled into his new, warmer pillow and let himself start to relax back into sleep.

“Xiangyi?”

The warmth against his face gradually took shape as his skin and mind began to wake. That was a finger–no, several fingers. A hand. A large hand. And those calluses–how could he not know them when they had clashed steel with him, choked him, clinked brimming cups of wedding wine with him, even been inside him, taking him apart with a gentleness he hadn’t known they could profess.

He let his awareness spread throughout his body, setting aside the pain, and yes, that was a-Fei’s chest he had pressed himself against, like Huli Jing requesting head scritches, and those were a-Fei’s legs, tangled with his, and that was a-Fei’s breath rustling his hair–less now than it had been a moment ago–and that was indeed a-Fei’s arm he was clutching like a child would a favorite toy. 

But a-Fei had been holding him first.

Why was a-Fei holding him? It was one thing to wake up in each others’ arms in the newly wed room, after their  . . . exertions. Before a-Fei knew that any real dream of a future was doomed to fail.

But to hold him now? After he’d given away the wangchuan flower and left a-Fei behind, left their promise behind? To hold him like he still mattered. Like he wasn’t a curse who killed everyone he’d ever cared about. Like he was some sort of treasure . . .

Treasure . . . 

Cabinets stained in blood, Xiaobao’s blood–

“Xiaobao,” he gasped, flinging himself free and to his feet. Where was Xiaobao? He had to find him, had to heal him, before it was too late–

“Xiangyi! Sit down!” A-Fei caught him as his legs buckled and lowered him back onto the bed. 

Why wasn’t Xiaobao here? Had he killed him, too, just like he killed everyone he cared about? 

“Duobing,” a-Fei roared. “Get in here. Now!” Callused fingers cupped both sides of his face, turning it gently but firmly toward him. “Xiangyi, look at me. He’s alright. He’s on his way.” 

“How could he be alright?” Li Lianhua gasped, clutching at his shoulders, the already blurry world turning more hazy. “I saw the blood!”

“I healed him. He’s safe,” a-Fei said, cradling his head as though he could hold the shattering pieces of his mind together. “Now breathe.” 

Li Lianhua choked on an inhale, his lungs spasming, only managing to draw in a desperate wheeze.

A-Fei cursed and dropped to his knees by the bed, pressing one hand to Li Lianhua’s back and the other to his chest, filling both with a familiar warmth that began to break apart the iron bands strangling his throat and lungs. “Try again. Feel my hands. Press against them when you inhale.”

The next breath shook and spluttered like a dying candle but some air squeaked through nonetheless.

“Good.” A-Fei gave his back a short supportive pat. “Again.”

Lotus Tower shook as footsteps pounded toward the bed. “What’s wrong?” panted a beautifully familiar, impossible voice. “Xiaohua’er?”

“Bicha,” a-Fei growled, rising from the floor to kneel on the bed at his side, his hands still bracketing him on either side. “He thinks you’re dead. Show him the scab.”

“Shit,” the Xiaobao-shaped hallucination cursed. It seemed especially cruel of hallucinations to now match the blurriness of their surroundings. It made them seem far too real.

The hallucination knelt at his feet and took his hands. “It’s me, Xiaohua’er,” it said, tears in its eyes and voice. “I’m alright. A-Fei healed me. See?” It brought his hand up to a spot on the back of his skull and pressed his fingers to a crusted, raised line on its scalp. “I’m right here and I’m alright. Do you believe me?”

He could feel it. Why could he feel it? His fingers had always passed through hallucinations before. And even when he’d dreamt of Xiaobao, or of a-Fei, of holding them again, it hadn’t felt as real as this. His fingers traced the ridges of the scab–a perfectly neat seam–then the silk curtain of hair that covered it. 

This was Xiaobao’s hair. The texture, the thickness, what he could see of the color–no hallucination could do justice to this. 

This was his Xiaobao.

He was alive.

“Xiaobao,” he cried, turning his head this way and that to make sure it was the only injury. “You’re alright!”

Xiaobao’s bright smile shone through despite the haze his eyes imposed on everything. “Told you. No harm done. So focus on taking care of yourself, ok, lao huli?”

Li Lianhua huffed out a wet attempt at a scoff and bopped the side of his head. “No harm? What do you call this?”

Xiaobao captured his hands with his and brought them down from his head to rest between them. “Less serious than a Bicha attack. How are you feeling?”

Li Lianhua blinked. A Bicha attack? He turned his attention inward to his qi, and–

Ah. There was a-Fei’s Beifeng Baiyang, somehow wrapped around his Yangzhouman and pushing the last of the poison back into the recesses where it would lie in wait, coiled and ready for the next attack. The black tinge was almost gone from his veins.

He had been so worried about Xiaobao that he hadn’t even realized.

A-Fei had probably saved his life. Again. 

He shouldn’t have bothered.

By saying that support shouldn’t be given to glitch rn, does that include not watching newer SMG4 episodes and other Glitch related stuff? (I’m trying to know whether i should continue to watch them for now)

If you don't support what Glitch is doing in regards to the Tari's VA situation right now, then yes not watching what they produce is how you can show that you don't support them, that also includes not buying their merch for now (I know they just released a bunch of TADC merch which they've been promoting like crazy since this whole situation started (also you don't need to get rid of anything you've already brought, this is about buying their stuff currently)). Striking is one of the best ways to show a company that you don't support their actions, if done en mass it can send a very powerful message.

Withholding your support until accountability is given is how it should be done for companies like Glitch, they're a company after all, they're not gonna read your callout posts in a 83 part twitter thread lol. Obviously openly harassing Glitch and singling out employees to harass ISN'T the right thing to do and doesn't show anything other than you're a hateful person. If you don't agree with what Glitch is doing, I'd suggest striking.

However if you choose to keep watching SMG4 or anything else Glitch make, then that's your choice to make, its up to you to decide if this situation is worth ceasing your support towards Glitch over. I'm not gonna sit here and tell you what you should be doing, nor am I going to judge anyone who isn't doing the same thing as me and neither should anyone else. Ultimately, I don't care whether you watch Glitch productions or not, its my personal choice to stop supporting Glitch by not watching SMG4 and its up to you if you want to do the same.

I think it's most important to stay up to date with everything that's happening and to keep talking about it, we can't just let this be forgotten about because it may cause it to happen again. Keep informed and keep spreading awareness about it until something is done if nothing else. Don't be afraid to change your mind later one once new information is revealed or even admit fault where needed, this is still and ongoing situation so people's views will change as time goes on.

Anyway take care, remember it's up to you to decide how you handled this situation, do it in whatever way feels best for you and for the people you want to stand with.

You're not the only one.

(From: One left (A rottmnt separated au)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Mikey! You gotta stay still if I'm going to bandage this!" "Right! Right, sorry...it just hu- OW!!"

After a nice heartfelt moment with Mikey and Splinter, Leo instantly rushed Mikey away to the medbay they had. 

He was not going to stand for Mikey to not treat his injury properly and for it to get infected. 

Too bad that obviously, because Mikey was stabbed in the arm, it, in general, really hurt when Leo did...basically anything with it. 

First he just inspected the wound, then he had to disinfect the wound (Mikey almost screamed a bit with that. Impressive he only gasped a few times) and now he has to bandage the wound. Obviously, that wasn't a very easy task, as Mikey kept on flinching away. Honestly, Leo didn't even blame it fully on the amount of pain that came from him trying to bandage it. It was probably partly because Mikey was so abused that he didn't even believe that Leo wouldn't hurt him.

Oof.

Leo was going to have to change that. 

Mikey clenches his fist so hard that his nails dig into his palms. "Sorry!- Sorry...that...r-really hurts.." Leo sighs and gently unravels Mikey's hand so he isn't injuring himself. "It's okay. I just really need you to stay still for me, okay? I know it hurts like heck, but this is very important. We can't just disinfect the wound and then call it a day without a bandage."

Mikey huffs and looks away. "Right...just...just get it over with?" Leo shoots him his signature grin. "I gotchu bro." 

Mikey smiles at the usage of "bro" when referring to him.

He never thought anyone would call him that....

It felt nice.

You know what doesn't feel nice though? Getting your injury bandaged. Mikey just barely bites back a yelp as Leo starts attempting to bandage his wound again. "Ow! Ow. Okay, how about you tell me next time you're about to do that?" Leo looks up at him with a confused expression on his face before he realizes what he's talking about. "Oh! Right, right, sorry. My bad."

Leo continues to bandage Mikey's arm. Mikey flinches a few times, but if I'm being honest, Leo's a bit surprised he doesn't flinch more with how bad his injury is. 

Reni leans against the doorframe and watches the chaos as it occurs.

Admittedly, Reni never thought she would ever have another sibling. She thought it would only ever be Leo. 

She giggles as Mikey starts complaining that Leo should have given him a warning before he started bandaging his arm up. 

After Leo finishes bandaging up Mikey, he speaks. "Okay. So you won't be able to use that arm for around two weeks." "WHAT?!" "Jeez, dude, chill! It's just two weeks! It's not like you have to do anything." Mikey hurriedly looks around. "B-But I have training! I can't just-...oh yeah....I uhh...I'm not with Draxum anymore..."

Leo gives him a look of pity, and Reni walks up. "Yeah. You are no longer with that jerk. So why don't you just relax a bit? You don't have training or any missions, or...well, basically anything to do! Why don't we play some Mario Kart?" Leo gasps as he realizes something. "We can show you all our favorite video games and have another younger person's opinion on it!!"

Reni gasps with the realization too. "Yeah!! Not that we don't love dad it's just that, in general, he's not too big on video games." 

Mikey nods. 

Splinter walks into the room, looking distraught. Leo speaks up. "Hey dad, what's wrong?" Splinter looks up from the floor to look at them. "Michelangelo." Mikey freezes at his name being spoken. "Y-yeah?"

Splinter takes a deep breath.

"You are not the only one of my lost children."

Everyone in the room freezes.

It was like time had stopped entirely. They had more siblings? Why hadn't Splinter told them?!

"W-what..?" Reni speaks faintly. Splinter looks ashamed and nods, looking back down at the ground again. 

"Yes. Raphael and Donatello." Reni looks to Mikey and to Leo. Then back to Splinter. "D-Do you know where they are?"

Splinter shakes his head. "All I know is that they are not here." Everyone looks confused, and obviously Splinter can tell. "They are in a place under New York."

"The hidden city."

In 2073, the world is still moving forward despite arid climates and the quick relay race between man and machine. Within the walls of the hospital center at Vecna Labs, Steve Harrington has just woken up after an accident inside the depths of the classified sections of the lab. Stricken with amnesia, he is brought to Edward Munson’s home to recover and to be observed during his recovery after experimental treatments had brought him back from the brink of death. In Edward’s home, Steve finds question after question. Why does Eddie seem to hate him so much? What do all the observations have to do with his accident? What exactly is going on with his malfunctioning mind, and what does this all have to do with Creel and Vecna’s tech monopoly? All the while, Steve struggles with the feeling that there was something more to his relationship with Eddie that he can’t quite understand.

What's your favorite memory of Megatron before the war happened?

Send me character development questions!

This one hurt. Indeed, there were some who were curious about his interactions with Megatron back in the day. However, the memories had become bittersweet, or simply bitter, knowing what Optimus had done (even if he knew many things during the war was also Megatron's doing... Optimus blamed himself for that, too).

Sitting down, and now beginning to fidget, Optimus awkwardly said, " My most cherished has to be when we first met. "

" I was only recently an aspirant at the time, and Stormreign brought me to the gladiatorial pits of Kaon. We were able to watch one of his matches, and... never had I seen a Cybertronian fight another Cybertronian before. It was terrifying, but the way Megatron held himself was... was so amazing. I couldn't look away. He was so powerful, he stayed tall despite all his injuries and always had such an air of... of regality to him. " A pause, and as Optimus now lost himself in the story he found himself chuckling, focusing less on the old war and instead like... like things hadn't changed. " I'll admit, I found him handsome in that moment. "

" I asked Stormreign if he could be my tutor-- we had been looking for one so then I could be prepared for duels or one-on-one battles the Knights of Iacon may experience. And when I was able to meet him after he was tended to? It was... it was almost magical. I deeply admired him. He, certainly wasn't a fan of me, at first-- he thought I was faking being kind. After all, I was an aspirant, and thus it meant I had far more opportunities in life than him, but after I'd explained my origins in the old Iaconian mines, he'd changed his tune. We were like best friends, and I even helped him join the Knights of Iacon, too! "

" ... We wanted to change the world for the better, together. "

And yet, as reality once more dawned upon Optimus Prime, his expression contorted into one far more saddened and pained.

" And then I ruined it. Megatron will never forgive me for what I did to Cybertron, and... that is okay... but I just wish... I just wish I hadn't... failed him... and everyone else... But I will at least try to make things right. I-I... I will try to find us a new home. " His voice cracked a little near the end.

[its-a-me-mango]

yo mango, i found this in twitter(x). a creator in twitter sented this.

Oh boy, yes this is the response I was referring to in my other post, and I have some things to say about it.

TL;DR: Clarification is nice but it shouldn't be up to the employees to apologise for something that upper management should've taken accountability for anyway. I'm not accepting everything as "fixed" until Celeste says anything else.

Obligatory "we don't know everything so don't jump to conclusions!!!" disclaimer (personally I love jumping to conclusions I love drama lol)

(also my stance on what I'm doing with this account is at the bottom of it so go take a look if you wanna know what I'm gonna do)

Ok first off, let's start positive, good to have some accountability and a bit of clarification on what's happened, considering I honestly thought GLITCH was just gonna keep quiet and hope for it to brush over, having the manager tell their side of the story is a good thing.

That's all the positives I have towards this apology because the rest are all negative.

For starters, why is the manager taking full accountability for this, while yes they made the decision, the higher ups should be taking accountability, at the end of the day Jasmine is an employee of GLITCH. Normally when something happens within a company, the company itself will put out a statement taking accountability for the actions of their staff. This hasn't happened yet, it's not Jasmine's full responsibility for this, there should be recognition from the company of their mistake.

I get if they're taking a while to make a response, but it's not hard to put out a statement saying "hey, we fucked up, sorry". It would be miles better than having an employee put it out IN THEIR FAN DISCORD SERVER OF ALL PLACES, thank got it got reposted because none of us would know others.

Furthermore, what is the main message from this, the main reason for this happening? "Oops I forgot". That's such a shitty excuse, especially for a manager. I completely understand getting overworked as hell, from what I've seen Jasmine is also the manager for a lot of other things at GLITCH, and if GLITCH's Glassdoor reviews are anything to go by, overworking employees seems to be their biggest flaw.

Something like this slipping their mind would be fair and understandable under those circumstances, but that's what upper management is for, it's up to them to make sure people do what they're employed to do, that includes making sure the appropriate messages are sent out, especially for big changes like this. Of course no one likes to have a boss that questions everything you do, but having someone check that all the appropriate messages are sent out is pretty damn important for running a company.

This is ultimately a show of poor management on GLITCH's behalf, had they communicated better not just with Celeste but also with each other, this entire situation would've been avoided.

I don't think this is some catastrophic downfall that can never be resolved, it actually can be resolved quite easily. All it involves is an admission of negligence on GLITCH's side and a proper apology to be sent and accepted by Celeste. Obviously I'm not gonna go demanding such things be made public but treating this like GLITCH's downfall is just kinda silly, this can be fixed.

Yes this is bad, and you should feel upset/angry about this all happening, seeing voice actors being treated poorly and "forgotten" about sucks and doesn't reflect well on GLITCH at all, if you don't want to support GLITCH right now that's completely reasonable, but this isn't worth wishing the companies downfall over. Advocate for change, not carnage.

There is also the possibility that this whole "apology" is bullshit. More comments from SMG2's now former VA have come out about this apology.

If this is all true, then that's just as bad on GLITCH's side. Ultimately we won't know the entire story until Celeste makes any other comment, however given how taxing this has all been on her, it's understandable if she doesn't say anything now, or ever to be honest.

My love and support goes out to Celeste during this time. I hope she and GLITCH can come to some kind of agreement that allows everyone to move on.

Anyway, so about me now, haiiii

I'm likely gonna mostly hault making SMG4 art for a while due to this, I love this series and I don't like to see this all happen to it, but I care more about treating voice actors fairly and making sure they're given the respect they deserve, if that involves stopping my support for GLITCH for now then so be it. I'm hoping this gets resolved, if that does happen i'll go back to normal, if not thennnnn I'll deal with that when it happens.

I'm still happy to interact with people in this community still, there's a few ideas and pieces I want to make for other people still, things like AU arts and DTIYS's, so I'll be doing that, but as for new SMG4 art and memes, not right now. (lets face if the SMG4 community on Tumblr is so far removed from everyone else it's basically our own series out here lmao)

I'll still draw Mango don't worry, he's basically my persona so I can detach him from SMG4 for now, my silly lil guy isn't going anywhere.

I understand that a lot of people are upset by this and are trying to block it out and carry on as normal. While I understand why most of you are taking that stance, I know a lot of you are teens and SMG4 is a source of comfort for a large chunk of you, please don't just ignore all this happening. I don't even care if you take an inconclusive stance on this, just please don't block it out entirely and pretend it's not happening, that's just not fair on Celeste.

I'll be doing my best to keep up with this as much as possible. I know I've come across as overly critical during all this, but I don't like seeing people act like GLITCH has done nothing wrong and never can. It's ok if a company you like has done something shitty, they do that all the time, but its not ok to let them get away with it and pretend it never happened, that's just covering for their shitty actions. I'm not going to cover for GLITCH's shitty actions which is why I'm speaking up about it and will continue to do so until some kind of resolution is reached.

Anyway I've talked enough, if you're reading haii hello thanks for reading the whole thing , if you skimmed to the bottom I'm shooting you with lasers (/j). We'll see what comes of all this but until then take care. <3

Recording of Aki Y. (Waring: Slight Body Horror and REALLY long post)

If I die in this world,

Who will know something of me?

I got to record this, through the tremors erupting from my body, and hope that our guardians can decipher this.

-Aki Y.

"The lifeforms of Earth are ignorant to their fragility. They can be easily exploited by their blissful imagination."

"I agree with you, these creatures often think they're superior. Yet they can't see that we are inside. Breathing in them, LIVING IN THEM. And this machine will be the key to our assimilation."

"And then our master will be invincible."

It's spreading...

The lesions consume the host,

It's skin will not outlast

the many worms burrowing within.

They wear a void [but as long as breath comes from the mouth]

Not even hope [their bodies never stood the slightest chance]

CAN COMFORT THE SOULS OF THE UNTOUCHED [THEIR PRAYERS ARE SILENCED]

All they see [to cease the darkness digesting them]

Is a galaxy of light & warmth [it's not theirs, it doesn’t belong to them]

Even a fake sky will suffice. [As their souls fight for their lives.]

As the deep ocean rises over time itself. [No one will be granted protection and love.]

War will be no more and all wisdom will be lost...

The mystery will be revealed

and shall the old world be reborn.

Come to us Holy Messiah of Silence.
