Thoughts on prince Riko’s “perfect court” before anyone escaped Evermore ( @thefoxesraven pls remind me if it was you with the branding vs tagging idea on that insta live)

@snazzy-jas-z-is-a-fan-of came up with SO MUCH of the possible politics and family ties of this au, it was incredible to watch and I think I finally understand enough to post about it 😂 there’s a balance of power between the two branches of Evermore royalty, which balance is shifting slowly to the Moriyamas and by the end of the story belongs solely to them with Ichirou as king. I’ll try to explain it in a different post if there’s interest

(And lest we go a day without Abram angst: he does in fact get his brand and more, when he’s taken back to Evermore and Riko takes the chance to reclaim his property ‘like he should have done to begin with’.)

anyone else got that one coworker who way over shares about their childhood and shit all the damn time and just assumes that they had it way worse than everyone else simply because... the rest of us don't go talking randomly about our trauma in the workplace

one of the weirdest things about *waves hands vaguely in the direction of my relationship* this whole experience. is this time around? there really isn’t a Taylor Swift song that captures it for me.

obsessed with missy acting batty so people underestimate her. flighty and eccentric and ridiculous, don't mind her, that's just what she's like. people go to great lengths to underestimate a woman who's not all there and that's a weapon, she knows it is, it was her own fatal mistake not so very long ago. her presentation is sharpened to knifepoint. she wears her garishness like a shield.

In my constant brain rotations of “why are people in the west so hard on mecha aside from the fandom can be a bit unfriendly” I think one thing I realized as much as I hate to say is how mecha is sometimes treated remind me of the constant hatred superhero stuff gets.

It’s such a weird comparison because with mecha I do not know what the root of it was-and I’d love to know why but I feel there’s either no clear answer or there is one and it’s stupid-where as for superheroes in the west while there’s still a dedicated community the mainstream audiences have become tired of them due to over-saturation, which I understand, but it’s caused such a massive dismal to the entire genre of it much like mecha.

People think superhero stories can’t have any substance because it’s all about fighting and not about the characters- yet forget the SIGNIFICANT impact they had to so much pop culture. How superhero stories were rooted within comic popularity, how superheroes inspired countless of stories, even so far as reaching japan since so much early anime was taken off of western media which birthed its own genre of superheroes. It’s no different to how mecha help started up the anime industry making it one of the most important genres to japans history, yet most people don’t know it and belittle it.

Yet in superhero story cases it’s even WORSE when people are against it yet then go to see one superhero movie because it’s animated and put it on a pedestal and don’t bother to try other superhero content even though they consumed is no different from the norm. It’s the exact same shit when people watch eva and then think all other mechas don’t compare to it, when the genre always had darker, mature and emotional elements, just only a select few decide to canter to a audience who doesn’t even accept what genre it’s from which makes it all the more frustrating to deal with.

I’m someone who’s hardly into superhero stuff even if some of it catches my eye but it sucks to see that the situation is pretty identical to how mecha is seen, that I can’t help to feel sympathetic whenever I see some comic book fans upset at the mainstream audience even if they too can be a little hostile.

Random Ramble:

I'm gonna be honest I feel like I've been having such a hard time with art lately. Can't tell whether it's art block or not. Like... I want to draw. I REALLY want to draw. I have commissions, character designs, DND ideas, etc. all up in my brain BUT everytime I go to draw or look at a canvas AND TRYING to draw I end up being frustrated.

So yea, uh that's why it feels like there's been a lack of art that isn't related to streaming or SHop lately, because there has.

it turns out it really isn't fun when your wisdom teeth are growing out and you suspect they're infected because you're in constant pain for over a week and you literally feel like you've been punched in the face 24 hours a day and it hurts even more to eat and you can't even go to the dentist because your dentist went private and you haven't managed to get a new nhs one so you literally can't do anything to get rid of the constant pain
