I think parents don't understand how punishing a child isn't for when they make you upset, it's for when they do something wrong. Like, you don't just punish them for stress relief, it's so they can learn right from wrong.
So if your kid learns, for example, that helping mom make dinner = getting in the way, but not helping = being lazy, but asking if mom needs help = being annoying and asking stupid questions, then you have basically trained a person to see the only option that doesn't lead to scolding as 'hide and don't be thought of until dinner is done'. So now what relationship is your kid going to have with cooking or cleaning or chores in general? How is that going to affect them as an adult?
If there is no right answer regarding the things that bother a parent, then your kid is going to associate those things with being punished no matter what they do. If talking during a car ride is bad and annoying, but being quiet and staring out the window is bad and disrespectful, then what are they going to do every time they're in the car with you but count every word they say? If texting is suspicious, but why don't they have friends, but going out with people is irresponsible, but why don't they ever leave their room, but their friends are all bad influences, but why did they stop hanging out with them, they were nice kids, then what are you even doing?
If playing video games is lazy, going outside is unsafe, playing is ignoring chores and doing chores is being in the way, then YOU'VE CREATED A CHILD WHO'S LEARNED THE ONLY WAY TO AVOID BEING SCOLDED IS TO DISAPPEAR WHENEVER YOU'RE IN A BAD MOOD! You've created a person who is hardwired to feel guilty no matter what they choose to do. You turned them into a confrontation ninja, who can vanish as soon as a hard conversation enters the picture. You've trained a person to disregard why rules exist and instead focus on who they can placate and suck up to in order to make the rules change. Because to them, rules and punishments are just who gets on the bosses nerves at the wrong time.

sometimes lord megatron will sit on his throne but right now he has better things to be doing.

doting on the deception leader is hard work guys. i don’t know transformers that well but surely this sounds like a convo his lackeys would have right

the world gets a lot easier when you learn to be wrong without getting pissed or doubling down. saying, ‘you’re right, that makes sense, I was misinformed, thanks for telling me’ instead of going to war over something your ego’s latched onto will save you time, energy, and the embarrassment of sounding like a whiny little bitch

Festival Day 1
Screenshots and Insight Under the Cut, Spoilers for Zero, Azure, CS2-4.

I do love that Laura is a Mishy fan, she and Tio could really get along.

I think the thing i like the most about Machias and Rean as a dynamic, really is how honest and open they are. And really only because Rean fibbed about his origins.


Its not talked about enough that Rufus is apparently really good at Blade.

Thomas, Lloyd Bannings would like to speak with you.

After finding out what these swords mean in CS4, it makes this so much darker.

I like that Loa Erebonius almost resembles True Valimar from CS4.

I love this Rean quote.

And lastly, one of my favorite characters in this entire arc.

Festival Academy Prep
Screenshots and Insight under the cut, Spoilers for Zero, Azure, Cold Steel 1-4 follow.

I love this screenshot after they were told who was singing.

..and man did they not let that go.



I love this moment with Rean and Jusis, but you can only get it if you bring Jusis to get the costumes.



I love their rivalry.

Elliot is forced to be reckoned with when he's running the show.

I do love the girl's costumes, and Yeah, you broke her.

Roer Field Study
As Always, Screenshots and Insight under the cut, Spoilers for Zero, Azure and CS2 - 4 follow.

Yeah, that didn't go to plan, did it, Dieter.

It's nice to see Arios mentioned, he happens to also be a favorite character of mine.


Man, I do not like Irina, but they made me feel kind of bad for her with this field study? Though CS4 did give more of a reason to dislike her.

Does that fall include consenting to being knocked out in a single blow by your younger brother?



Okay, but i love the detail that Class VII thinks Rufus is suspicious, they just don't normally say anything. (Probably because Jusis is around) Also, Crow's response.

Ooh Claire looks pretty in this dress

Oh man there is a whole other story that correlates to this (and funny enough, involves Rufus)
They really put like a secondary focus of Claire and Rufus this chapter. I guess because their discussion at the start of the field study is that event that stays fresh in the group's mind.

Do you have a [insert piece of media] that you are embarrassed to admit you like, and why? It doesn't matter whether you told anyone or not, just whether or not you were embarrassed about the answer.
yes, the work itself is problematic
yes, the creator is problematic
yes, I personally think it's of low quality
yes, most people think it's low quality although I disagree
yes, I'm not the intended audience
yes, it's too popular / mainstream
yes, it's too niche
yes, it would reveal something about me
yes, it's widely considered uncool / cringe to like it
yes, other reason
no, I'm never afraid to tell others about stuff I like
results
#yeah but i think mostly because i feel like most people only see me as someone who posts about Transformers#it takes me a while to start actually posting about things like that then i become an immovable force#no in between a lot of the time

Guerrilla Fortress + Board of Directors meeting.
Screenshots and Insight under the cut, spoilers for CS2-4, Zero and Azure.
I love Sara and Neithardt's dynamic. And Elliot has now been embarrassed by both of his family members.



I added the directors meeting and after, because this was the only thing I wanted to comment on with Guerrilla, because this would have been longer than the others had I covered it. But Scarlet took me five tries to beat if you want a fun fact about the whole thing. I also got lost trying to find my way to the Railway gun. It was..interesting. The whole political climate is shown here and I love that. And just the contrast compared to seeing the Trade Conference in Zero and Azure, knowing this is going on and no one in Crossbell knows about it.

Me too, Olivert. I do like that they waited until we had met the full board before they showed them meeting, though.

I like Governor Regnitz, and his relationship with his son is very sweet, but wow you can tell how much Trails characters look like their parents with Machias and Governor Regnitz.


Yeah, this is part of why I love Olivert. He's that fine line between Formal and Informal. He wants to have fun, but he also knows when to put his mind to things. He's as silly as he is clever. And i also love the dynamic between Meuller and Olivert.



I love this quote.
#trails of cold steel#trails series#sen no kiseki#kiseki#kiseki series#olaf craig#olivert reise arnor#carl regnitz#mueller vander#i would tag Rufus but id rather not tag him and his no physics hair unless im realllyy focusing on him

Legram Field Study
As always, Screenshots and Insight, Spoilers for Azure / Zero / Cold Steel 2-4 below the cut.

I didn't show him before, but i mentioned that Millium was technically my third favorite Ironblood but was tied with Lechter. (And that after the Crossbell arc, Lechter was winning.)

Man Viscount Arseid is such a good dad. Duke Albarea should take lessons from him.
But something I've realized, even with the last time, was to quote myself "you're not a member of Class VII until you've been embarrassed by a family member." Though, Elliot gets embarrassed twice. By his sister then by his dad.






I did say earlier about how adorable I think little Rean is, did I not? I just want to squish his little face. He's so Cute and adorable..

I realized soon after seeing this that this was the wrong screenshot to use for Duke Cayenne. The picture is fine..its the quote that throws it off.

Ohh..Lohengrin castle is beautiful. I love old castles..
#trails of cold steel#trails series#sen no kiseki#kiseki#kiseki series#lechter arundel#victor s arseid#millium orion#rean schwarzer#duke cayenne#Viscount Arseid would be at least one who would win the best Trails dad competition alongside a few others like General Craig

I fell a little behind in updating, man it gets good after Heimdallr, but anyway. Heimdallr field study, as well as some before it.
As always, Screenshots and Insight below the cut, and Cold Steel 2-4 spoilers. I will also warn you of slight Zero/Azure spoilers for the next few as well.

Man, Cedric changed so much later on. And due to his feelings of inadequacy expressed here, perfectly enough. I'm sure this trade conference will go just splendid. (it won't)

I do love Jusis' bonding events. Of course, im hoping to have the highest bond level with him in particular. (He is my highest right now so..)

Considering their casuals are all long sleeved, yeah. He really is taking his chances.


"Go choke on a pom" is my new favorite Machias insult. Though Jusis allegedly telling Machias he needs to get out more is funny to me.

With this and the line in CS2, im convinced that the fandom aren't the only ones shipping Jusis and Machias.

Olivert is certainly one of my favorites, though. I like blondes.



A lot of backstory in this chapter. Elliot, Machias, and Fie's stories were shown. And man, little Machias is a cutie. But his backstory also had me almost bawling my eyes out, like..woah..im not sure i can actually put my feelings into words. Fie was also sad, especially her corps splitting up, because of the fight between the Jaeger King and the War God. And man, it just hits hard when you have the other side of it with Randy, But opposite reaction. Randy seemed to not really be affected by it, due to having already cut ties by that point. Fie, on the other hand, was saddened and left alone until Sara dragged her to Thors. Its a nice parallel. And then Elliot, I just admire him. Being told his dreams won't get him anywhere, but he strives to attempt to fulfill them anyway, is wonderful to me.
#trails of cold steel#trails series#sen no kiseki#kiseki series#olivert reise arnor#jusis albarea#machias regnitz#elliot craig#fie claussell#if youre curious i am in fact a YushiMaki shipper though like CrowRean it took me a while to come around to it
