#That stage was not fun to play on at all

[rev-velvet]

Don't let Frye losing again distract you from the fact that Tricolor Bluefin Depot was absolute ass and that the ability to get mirror matches has either got to go or HEAVILY revamped. The fact that Saturday was so popular it basically doom everyone on our team to fighting eachother is hilarious. They gave Frye what was supposed to be an easy win and it backfired because they refuse to give up on mirror matches.

Australian Rituals / Teeth of God Tour Bingo

Alroighte gwois, let's hear your predictions for the upcoming rituals. I *might* make another bingo (like on Wembley) - even if I don't, let's get them all in one place cus I think it's funny.

If you have something specifically for the Teeth of God Tour (because they are headliners and can do Cooler™ Fancier™ stuff) do specify. Same for strictly Australian Rituals. Some stuff may happen earlier (like when they debuted TMBTE and the new Espera masks), others may only happen on the Tour, so let's just put them all here and see what happens 😗✌️

Please reblog/put on the replies your predictions!! Whether serious or silly, please share!

Mine are:

One of the Vessels (Vessel or ivy OR Espera!!!!) singing onstage with Oli

Kangaroo/koala headbands / Aussie Explorer hat

EUCLID (more for Teeth of God but wouldn't be surprised if earlier)

The Apparition (PLEASE)

The Summoning pushups will return

Older song throwback (please please Sugar or Jaws. TNDNBTG for ToG)

Outfit change for the Vessels (only cus i think Australia is quite hot now innit? poor iv will MELT in that jacket)

NEW VESSEL JEWELLERY

This one I'm not super confident/keen on BUT new Vessel mask with Antlers (more likely on ToG but who knows)

Hi-Fi Rush really said "let's make a rhythm game that's made with such love and passion for music, has good characterization and growth, the humor and character designs are fun, the enemy battles are creative, the main villain is defeated through the power of friendship, and it contains tons of bonus content with no microtransactions, all for half the cost of an AAA game" and it fucking slapped

Stage play Shou continues to steal the sho(u)w.

Edit: added image IDs from @that-was-anticlimactic under read more! Thank you!

[ID: a series of ten screen caps of of Nagata Seiichirou as Shou from the third Mob Psycho stage play. the first image 3/4 body shot of Shou facing the right. his hands are in his pockets and he's smirking slightly as if he's trying not to laugh. he says: "Do you wanna guess. who I am?" to Ritsu, who is off-screen. the second image is a 1/2 body shot of Shou facing forward, but he is looking to his left. his right hand is raised and he is holding a spoon. he is smiling widely. he says: "Someone interesting is on their way here.".

the third image shows Shou sitting on the steps. he is reading a book. he is looking up from the book at someone off-screen. he says: "Yeah, pause on that idea. For real, guys? Brainwashing?". the fourth image is a 1/2 body shot of Sakurai and Shou. Sakurai is seen from the back. he is holding his sword to Shou's neck. Shou is making an exasperated face. he says: "Chill out, man! I was being nice.".

the fifth image is a 1/2 body shot of Shou. he is facing right. he's making a face as if he just had an idea. his left hand is in a fist and is sitting in his right palm, as if punctuating the idea. Matsuo and Sakurai are behind Shou, looking at him in confusion. the sixth image shows Shou sitting on the ground with his legs crisscrossed. his hands are behind him, holding him up. he is looking at Reigen, who is off-screen, with a teasing sort of smile on his face. he says: "Is that right, old man?".

the seventh image is similar to the sixth except Shou is leaning back on his hands more. his right leg is propped up so his knee is up and his foot is flat on the floor. his left leg is lying underneath his right leg. his smile is even wider as he looks to Reigen (still off-screen) and says: "I'm happy to help if you're struggling!". the eighth image is a 1/2 body shot of Shou. he is facing the right. he is laughing and appears to be having fun. he says: "It's like you're playing tug of war with a person!".

the ninth image is a 3/4 body shot of Shou. he is facing right and walking. his hands are in his pocket. he is smiling in a more relaxed and less teasing way. he is talking to Reigen (who is off-screen) and says: "Time to pay you back in earnest.". the last image is a 1/2 body shot of Shou. he is angled slightly to the right. he is smiling widely. he is holding his wallet in his hands. he is speaking to Reigen (still off-screen) and says: "You're not just a liar, are you?". /End ID.]

[ID: six images of Hitoshi Horinouchi as Kenji from the Bungou Stray Dogs stage play. each picture is taken with Hitoshi in costume and backstage. the other cast members featured in the pictures are in costume as well. the first image is a mirror picture of Hitoshi and Kōsuke Kuwano (Jun'ichiro). it looks like they're in a dressing room. Kōsuke is on the right. he is holding his phone. both Kōsuke and Hitoshi are holding up a peace sign. they each have a small smile on their face. the second image is of Hitoshi, Kōsuke, and Ryōki Nagae (Ranpo). they are standing in that order. Ryōki is taking a selfie of the three of them. Hitoshi and Kōsuke are holding up peace signs with both of their hands. Ryōki is wearing Ranpo's glasses. they each look at the camera. Hitoshi has a small smile on his face. the other two are making neutral faces. the third image is of Hitoshi and Shūhei Izumi (Fukuzawa). Hitoshi took a selfie of Shūhei poking his cheek. Shūhei is looking at the camera with a kind of serious expression. Hitoshi is holding up a peace sign. he is pursing his lips in a happy silly kind of way. the fourth image is a selfie of Hitoshi and Shōhei Hashimoto (Akutagawa). Hitoshi is smiling lightly at the camera. Shōhei is acting in character and is gazing down at Hitoshi. he looks slightly weirded out/confused, like he doesn't know why *Kenji* is taking a picture with him. the fifth image is a selfie of Hitoshi and Kōhei Masaki (Kajii). Kōhei is holding a lemon in each hand. he is smiling widely at the camera. Hitoshi is pursing his lips in a silly kind of way. he is staring directly at the camera with slightly wide eyes. the sixth image is a picture of Hitoshi next to three of the ensemble cast members. they are seen from the back. they are standing in a line. Hitoshi is the third person in the line. each of the ensemble members is wearing a lemon headpiece and a black body suit. Kenji's hat is seen and it almost looks like a lemon, but not quite. /End ID.]

by the time the seventh division arc concludes no one can deny that it's clear just how much reigen cares about mob and how far he'll go to protect him, but even so in the day-to-day of the anime and the manga he always maintains an air of professionalism about him. like yes, he loves mob and will always be there for him when he needs him, but unless the situation really calls for emotional honesty reigen will first and foremost act like mob's boss. a supportive boss who occasionally gives him advice, but a boss nonetheless. he's just not that demonstrative unless it's a serious situation.

the stage play on the other hand really said fuck that and made reigen SO much more openly affectionate. paternal, even. the head pats, the arm slung over his shoulders. the way he kept pushing mob (and ritsu, and teru, and even shou) behind him and shielding him with his body during the seventh division fight even though objectively mob was the person least likely to get hurt in that situation. the way he spent a full minute blowing on his takoyaki to cool it down then immediately swapped it with mob's still hot one so he wouldn't burn himself (even though reigen's the one with a history of burning himself with his food, not mob). all these little, almost subconscious gestures that just SCREAM "parent". hell, have you seen him whenever mob does anything? he's always got the proudest look on his face. stage play reigen's default facial expression is "that's my son and I'm SO proud of him" and it's honestly so endearing. he looks like he's one step away from proudly telling you all about how well mob is doing in school.

manga reigen and anime reigen love mob just as much as stage play reigen does, that's undeniable. but while in the anime and manga he doesn't usually show it as openly, stage play reigen just. cannot hide it, or simply doesn't care to. I don't think I would want him to be as open in the original, I think his insistence in maintaining a professional distance (at least in everyday situations) ties in with his fear of mob finding out the truth about reigen and seeing him for who he really is, no masks on. and, as such, it's an integral part of their dynamic and the story. but damn if the choice to make him more open in the stage play, which is altogether much more lighthearted, wasn't an excellent one. it makes me so emotional, they fed us so well. that's his kid, and he's so proud of him 😭😭

"I was surprised you'd stick up for Astarion"

Shadowheart. GIRL. He's biting me every night. You sleep right next to us. I'm bending my goody-two-shoes paladin ass over backwards to get him to like me. Do you not have eyes? You tought I'd sell him out to a monster hunter??? Girl. Girl, I figured out what your hand wound does. It's selective blindness. Shar, goddess of darkness, makes perfect sense, girl, Shadowheart, listen-
