Junko doesn't get an afterlife. She just sits alone in the endless void for all eternity.

She's haunting the narrative. And Makoto.

huh, Princess Elise is looking a lil different today

[cubbihue]

Wait why wouldn't Timmy recommend godkids becoming a fairy like I sorta get that it's less food for fairy's or smt and that it's a long process but the way you worded it ( "knowing what he knows no he would never do that or smt) sounded like it was something else, just kinda ominous idk I'm probably just reading too into it

A claimed child must become a fairy, and fairies must have wings and floaty crowny things. To ensure true devotion to the process, the Fairy Council forbids any fairy from helping, interacting, or being near the child throughout the transformation. The child must want to become a fairy for it to be permanent.

This is the third consequence of becoming a fairy.

After going through such an experience, Timmy is very determined that no other child be taken. They say it's the knowledge that makes people go mad, but Timmy argues it's the changes itself that is maddening. He's lucky he had such a strong mental fortitude to withstand it!!

The Ishigamis and The Gifts of Science

Dr. Stone is a love letter to humanity and its sciences. The main character, Senku, often acts averse to all forms of affection, and the only love he doesn't deny is his love for science. But Senku is so so full of love. He just expresses it in a way other than physical touch or words of affirmation. He gives.

But let's go back to the one who taught him so– Byakuya Ishigami, his father. The love of Senku's life.

Byakuya is introduced in the tenth chapter of the manga as a dotting father who sells his car to present Senku with scientific instruments he will need for a more efficient research. This car is Byakuya's means of transportation, and given that he is crying and shaking in this scene, it could not have been easy for him to lose it. But his love for Senku is so big, that he wants to support his son's passion even if it means sacrificing a great convenience for him.

And Senku? Senku truly fell in love with science at this moment.

If there is anything that Senku is, he is Byakuya Ishigami's son through and through. They may seem like two very different people, as Byakuya is an openly affectionate guy while Senku is more closed off with showing his true emotions. But Senku takes more from Byakuya than not, and one of them is by showing his love and/or care for others through giving the gifts of science.

And it starts with Byakuya.

[Bodysuit Acquired!]

Byakuya had failed his first attempt at being an astronaut ten years back, but he doesn't give up and tries again. Senku then creates a bodysuit that manipulates muscle movement to help Byakuya pass his swimming test. And while the bodysuit doesn't quite help Byakuya to swim, the thought Senku had put into it had motivated Byakuya more than ever to pass the test. This is one of the fundamentals of gifting– sometimes, it really is the thought behind it that matters.

This motivation is what Byakuya credits during his interview with JAXA for passing the tests. He understands that Senku might not have given him any words of encouragement, but this bodysuit was all the words that were needed between them. Senku wants Byakuya to achieve his dreams just as badly. It's the way Senku shows his love for his father.

And it's the way Senku shows his love for others too.

[Glasses Acquired!]

One of the primitive aspects of the Ishigami village is that it considers bad eyesight as a type of "disease". Fuzzy disease, to be exact.

Suika wears a melon mask at all times to help clear her eyesight, which Senku later reveals is due to the pinhole effect. She, however, has never told Senku or the others about having the fuzzy disease. Senku himself notes how odd it is for her to wear a melon around, and confronts her about it once he decides to create glass. This is one of the most beautiful scenes in Dr. Stone, as Suika finds out that her disease was never a disease, and is finally able to see as clearly as the others. Senku basically gives her perfect eyesight, something she didn't even know was possible before.

[Antibiotics Acquired!]

One of the most beloved people in this village is the priestess, Ruri. Two of Senku's new friends, Kohaku and Chrome are deeply affected by her unknown fatal disease. Senku is such a person who would help a stranger even if there is no benefit to do so (though he would never admit to it), what more a person who his new friends truly love and care about. He cures Ruri of pneumonia, giving her a chance to live a life without the worry of it being her last day every day.

[Cola Acquired!]

Senku forms an alliance with Gen, who plays the role of Tsukasa's spy, for the promise of a bottle of cola. Both Senku and Gen are aware that the cola is only a front for Gen's loyalty to Senku and the Kingdom of Science, for Gen needs his superficial reputation as a comfort and cannot simply join them if there is no personal benefit for him to do so.

This cola is also the first gift post-petrification that Senku brands himself on, probably because it represents the first gift that is not out of necessity and leans toward a comfort/luxury that they both used to enjoy in the modern world.

For a modern man such as Gen, drinking his favourite soda in the stone world might have been one of the happiest days in his life.

[Cotton Candy Acquired!]

Senku cares about people so much, even if the people in question have tried to kill him. Senku sees Homura as a soldier who is merely following the orders given by her leader, but he also sees the Homura as a lonesome girl sitting by herself on trees day and night.

As usual, Senku hides his kindness and care by showing an evil ulterior motive, such as turning Homura to their side using the cotton candy, but Ruri points out that this is a facade. Similarly to Gen, a person with such an ego is unable to seem as if he is doing something good out of the kindness of his heart.

[Stove Acquired!]

As winter approaches, the elders in the village are worried about losing people to the cold. Senku hears about this and creates a stove which has a multi-purpose of cooking and also radiating heat for the people to stave off the coldness of winter. And speaking of winter...

[Christmas Acquired!]

Senku hangs up lights in the tree for the "light bulb test" on a random night. Except the date isn't random at all and he drops enough hints for Gen to catch on that it is the night of Christmas. The significance of the day is only appreciated by Gen and himself, as they are the only modern timers in the village. It is for the sake of nostalgia, but Senku would rather be caught dead than admit that he is a sentimental guy with such irrational feelings.

And well, it all comes back to that scene with Byakuya, doesn't it? If you recall, Byakuya calls himself "Santa" while giving the scientific presents to the young Senku. This indicates Senku received them during Christmas. Which means... Christmas is a sentimental day to Senku and his father. An anniversary of Senku receiving his Christmas presents from Byakuya, which led to his deeper dive into his science obsession. The beginning of it all, one would say.

And even though he's dead and buried, Byakuya never stops giving. He gives Senku the Ishigami village to provide Senku with allies. He gives Senku Lillian's music, because he believes in the light of music and understands the importance of media to society. He collects platinum till his last breath, because he believes that Senku will need it someday. Byakuya keeps on giving to Senku, because his love for his son is so huge and unconditional. And because he promised.

Surely, there is no greater love in the manga than Byakuya's love for his son and Senku's love for his father. Byakuya could easily win ten billion best father awards... well, not like there's much competition for that in shounen mangas.

im sorry i dont usually do this but this post pissed me off so fucking bad and op has replies turned off (because of course they do)

fellas. is it gay to wear pink and have long hair and sing and dance? cause i didn’t realize we were using bioessentialism in movie analysis now that’s crazy

sarcasm aside this is literally why i don’t go in tags anymore because none of you are media literate. not a single one of you. longlegs is not wearing makeup in the movie. it’s shitty plastic surgery; that’s why his lips are red. you can literally tell by just looking at him that it’s not lipstick. the clothes he wears are all off-white or white. the falsetto he’s doing is very obviously meant to mimic that sort of “goochie goo” baby talk a lot of adults unironically use towards children. also coding? ‘coding’ is not when you interpret something from a movie as anything you want because you feel like it. coding is an intentional act committed by creatives to further their story and allude to specific real life things for a specific narrative purpose. it is an intentional act of storytelling. it is not you looking at a movie and assuming something as fact based off slight vibes

and i’m just gonna say it. if you see a male character with long hair that’s acting generally creepy in the vicinity of a child and automatically assume that that character is being coded as a transwoman, YOU ARE THE ONE BEING TRANSPHOBIC.

like holy fuck some of y’all have never actually looked inwards once in your life and it shows

[bronze-and-silver-keys]

I just imagine that in the ghost au if someone pisses Taka off too much that he’ll just have short snippets where he’s Kiyondo for a bit cause maybe a bit of Mondo’s spirit was stuck in him or something. I don’t know-

But I bet Mondo and Chihiro’s reactions would be funny, trying to figure out how it’s still possible for that to happen

Chihiro gets a little nervous. Mondo loves it.

[shelter-clangen]

welcome to the shelter coalition. currently only run by Kindred and his companion Dear. let’s go

[fairsweetlonging]

sorry to bother you but the horror au is giving me brainrot. Do you think any of the peak lords would get an idea of what was happening with SY? If so who would it be?

you don't bother me at all, this is what my ask box is for!!! i love hearing from people and will take any opportunity i can to ramble about my silly ideas<3 i call it ✨️brain nourishment✨️

i have sooo many scenarios for reveals or partial reveals. strap in because i'm going to paint you some pictures~ (post under the cut because holy moly i am a first degree yapper)

1. Shen Qingqiu

shen yuan is sent to deliver something to the qing jing peak lord, but when he arrives, the peak lord isn't home—his head disciple is. this is part of the dating sim aspect where shen qingqiu is the tsundere who lets shen yuan in and makes him tea while he's waiting for the peak lord to return, it's all very cliche and shen yuan is just waiting for it to be over.

however, while shen qingqiu is out of the room, a sudden message from the system tells him to hide. shen yuan hides in the closet, and the thing comes into the room. later, shen qingqiu finds shen yuan hiding, and takes it surprisingly seriously when shen yuan says something got into the house. shen qingqiu pulls his sword, keeps his talismans ready, and does a quick sweep of the house and yard before coming back in. shen yuan looks a bit embarrassed, but shen qingqiu tells him that only idiots think cang qiong is impenetrable, and that whatever came inside isn't here anymore now.

i like the angle with shen qingqiu because it creates this really nice sort of depth where shen qingqiu fears no one will believe him, but he does believe others, especially about things like this. and shen yuan is confronted with the reality that despite thinking the "scum villain" is only awful, shen qingqiu does have some genuine sides and will actually protect him if needed (even if he does "comfort" shen yuan by calling him stupid).

.

2. Mu Qingfang

this is a somewhat similar scenario, but in this one, mu qingfang is actually involved in the mission. shen yuan is tasked with making sure "it" won't discover the two of them, so he pulls mu qingfang along to a bed, pulling the curtains closed and sitting on top of the bed so their feet don't stick out beneath the curtain. shen yuan tells mu qingfang to be very quiet, watching in terror as a shadow creeps along the outside of the curtain, its breathing harsh and rattling.

when the creature is gone, shen yuan tries to talk about it to mu qingfang, but it turns out that mu qingfang never saw it. mu qingfang does believe that shen yuan saw something and tries to ask about it, but it feels more like a "i believe you think you saw something, tell me more" kind of talk they have in psychiatric hospitals than a cultivator taking him seriously on a threat. the system tries to chime in with a few dialogue options, but that only makes it worse and shen yuan leaves feeling like he's crazy and with a -10 relationship points on mu qingfang.

i feel with mu qingfang there's a very delicate line between him believing shen yuan because they do live in a world of sleep demons and shapeshifters, and him having dealt with so many cases of paranoia and hallucinations and such that his first action was to check shen yuan's meridians on a potential deviation.

.

3. Shang Qinghua (airplane)

now this puppy can fit some interesting plot scenarios!! one that i really like is where shen yuan is helping shang qinghua with some of his paperwork (gotta farm that +10 r-points), and he gets a message from the system that they're no longer alone.

[ mission: occupied! ]

objective: do not disturb.

hint: it is already in the room

shen yuan freezes. shang qinghua keeps mumbling about ink stones and illegible calligraphy. shen yuan calls his name, quietly, and tells him not to move. shang qinghua's eyes go wide for a second, and he easily (too easily) agrees.

depending on how creepy i want to make it, one of the options is a companion option where shen yuan is tasked with making sure shang qinghua doesn't look behind the folding screen in the corner of the room.

[ begin countdown ]

objective: companion must not look behind the screen.

shen yuan is pale and his gaze flicks to the screen a few times. shang qinghua notices and asks what's wrong. shen yuan swallows and then proposes they go take a walk outside. shang qinghua is confused at first, and wants to argue, but shen yuan says something about danger and shang qinghua goes really quiet, then agrees to go outside. shen yuan sees how easily shang qinghua agrees and takes a gamble, telling him not to look behind the screen. shang qinghua goes white as a sheet at that, and never takes his eyes off the floor as he practically runs to the door.

at this point they don't know the other's status as a transmigrator yet, but this is the part where shen yuan starts to suspect some things.

as for shang qinghua's part: he knows the player has an extremely dangerous entity attached to them, which is absolutely able of game-over'ing anyone who makes the wrong choice in this universe. when shen yuan tells him not to look, he doesn't look.

.

4. Liu Qingge (& Mu Qingfang)

this is just an angsty whumpy one with a few endings, i just really like the premise. shen yuan is at a quiet wing on qian cao peak when he gets a mission from the system.

[ mission objective: run ]

"it's right behind you"

shen yuan immediately drops everything in his hands and bolts, sprinting down the corridors without once looking back. he runs through the hallway, the courtyards, his heart hammering in his chest. then, suddenly, he's caught mid-step by a set of arms, stopping him: it's liu qingge.

liu qingge asks him what's wrong, what is chasing him? but shen yuan is terrified and out of breath and can barely string a sentence together as he gestures and stammers, "it's—there, right there, i swear—i swear, didn't you see it—?"

[ system message ]

warning: proximity < 03 meters

shen yuan panics and tries to get free, knowing that he has to run before it detects him or catches him or whatever the system envisions it to do, but liu qingge isn't letting him go and it gets into a half-hearted struggle, and because they're on qian cao of course mu qingfang gets involved, but even two head disciples can't calm him down.

it's a little further along into the story, at a point where everyone kind of knows that shen yuan is "paranoid" and prone to "anxious delusions", and they treat him a bit more careful in a way that feels condescending. they're trying to calm him down but shen yuan works himself into a qi deviation with how stressed he is, saying "it" is going go get him while fighting the head disciples to get away, and that doesn't help his case at all.

eventually, while liu qingge restrains him, mu qingfang is forced to sedate shen yuan to keep him from hurting himself, and he doesn't get far enough away to exceed the mission threshold, thus failing the mission.

[ event status ]

mission failed: you were caught

i have a few different paths for this one:

forced reset — the creature got him, he lost, he has to do the mission over, starting again in the qian cao west wing

injury reveal — as shen yuan is sedated, some kind of invisible creature does actual harm to him (depending on what the thing will be; maybe a large scratch on his leg? damage to his cultivation?), which does reveal to liu qingge and mu qingfang that something was really chasing him

punishment protocol — shen yuan loses points or has to accept a punishment from the system for losing a mission.

nothing? — shen yuan wakes up in the healing room with the message still above his head, but the system never explains to him what the consequence for failing is. something happened, but he doesn't know what.

this is also possibly a turning point for shen yuan in the story where he starts trying to fix it himself or get outsider help (which could mean the introduction of a certain demon and his nephew!), because he feels like no one believes him and he's in more danger because of it.

(this could also lead to a point where shen yuan starts to believe he really is imagining it, and ignores a mission on purpose to "prove" to himself it's not real)

(it is real)

(he never ignores it again)

.

i won't implement all of these options, but i did want to share them because i like them all a LOT and i love to share! i'm still tweaking them, but the essence of these will probably make an appearance in the fic!

[xulips]

do you think Ena and Akito swapped clothes once they figured out they were both trans?

YOU UNDERSTAND MEE ANON YOU DOOO and then one day shinei and mamanome caught them both going to each other's room for the clothes and just outright told them to stop hiding and just ask the other if they could borrow their clothes

[livingdeadhorse]

I'm gonna start grouping some of the requests, I hope that's fine!

why is sports betting gross and pervasive? /gen

It is early for me so this is not the most well articulated answer but I don’t know where you live but where I’m from, in the last let’s say 5-7 years sports betting has gone from something that existed on the fringes of sports to something that is actively pushed and encouraged and advertised as part of sports and the enjoyment process of watching or interacting with a game. At intermissions or breaks in play, the announcers give you the odds of different scenarios and encourage you to “join in” as if it is a fun social engagement activity for fans and not actually gambling with your own hard earned money.

It’s pervasive in the sense that it’s everywhere in sports and it has seeped into the cultural consciousness in such an insidious way, predominantly with young men (seriously i could go on and whole other tangent about the targeting and susceptibility of young men) that gambling/betting is ingrained in their day to day life. The number of TikTok’s (and reali-life interactions) I see about taking to over/under on x,y, or z situation and it’s just an accepted and regular part of their interactions/friendships and a predominant way they engage and communicate with each other.

And all of that starts with the marketing of sports betting and the presentation as a harmless and fun activity when it is in fact a very real and dangerous addiction.

I think that in 10 years or so we’re going to look back and say…why did we normalize this so heavily and allow these betting companies to become so ingrained with our lives with very little regulation or consideration for the potential negative impacts. It is so normalized because of great marketing for the exact right demographic and most people don’t even think twice about it anymore which is incredibly concerning in my opinion.

These companies and their apps in full cooperation with professional sports leagues and media companies have made it easier, faster and more tempting for people to bet on games and every situation within them, which becomes a slippery slope into a gambling problem but it’s not seen that way because it’s just a silly bet on a game. We’ve gone from illegal betting sites to a boom of an industry of fully sanctioned and easy to access apps that are often times partnered with your favorite team and make it easier than ever to place a multiple bets before during and even after games. It makes the people who own and run these apps richer, it makes the teams and the billionaires who own them richer, and it leaves the average person thinking they don’t have a problem and can stop at any time because it’s really just a bit of fun.
