There were a LOT of very real, very excellent writing choices this episode, but at least one that I haven't heard spoken of yet is the way Kyu spoke to Rei and Kazuki, and the heel turn he made. Not only did he give Miri's mother all the ammunition she needed to take Miri, but he is unbelievably harsh in his language towards them, not only bringing up how they killed Miri's father and suggesting that Miri would hate them for it, but calling their current life "lies," a "dream," and playing pretend.
Which is a fascinating about face from him, considering how genuinely supportive he has been of their family (Covering for their mistakes on the job! Babysitting! Saying he understands why they did it! Commenting in a pleased way on the ways they have changed as people! His heartfelt conversation with them about how they will have to expect resistance for what they are doing! Delaying Ogino for 4 months!)
I find the contrast interesting for several reasons. 1) That Kyu's opinion and words are actually very influential on these two - Kazuki borrows his "dream" language later on in the episode, and I think they both started thinking more about change because of Kyu's previous conversations with them. But also - I wonder if either Rei or Kazuki have enough insight to understand how Kyu is being hard, not because those are his true feelings consistent with his actions, but because he wants to pressure them into giving up Miri in an effort to protect all of them?

I would actually kind of like the “becomes a doctor and takes over Leslie’s clinic” story…for Damian.
NOT because I think it would be ~ethical~ or idk whatever-the-fuck.
I just really love the concept of Damian having this “I HAVE A BIG IMPORTANT DESTINY” backstory/lineage/bloodline …
…SON OF THE BAT, and all that jazz…
But when he connects with Gotham and the people in it—because Batman should be connected to the people he’s protecting—Damian realizes that he doesn’t actually WANT “his” destiny.
And it’s not about rejecting Batman or his father or his mother or anything like that, but instead about taking what he’s learned and what they’ve given him and shaping it to fit himself.

history 101 💛
This was originally just supposed to be me having fun exploring what Ephemer would be like as a teacher but it got a bit out of hand in a good way (but I think I spent way too long on this lol)
Notes:
I wholeheartedly believe that teaching is Eph’s true passion. While writing Overmorrow, I came to realize that his role as a teacher/master is necessary in ensuring that light and the will of the keyblade lives on, but it’s also something he would just genuinely enjoy doing on a personal level. Aside from being able to infodump to his heart’s content (that’s a big deal! 😄), he can also help, inspire, and lead as a teacher! I think if he does actually establish the Keyblade order/academy in canon, it would be his pride and joy
Eph’s actual classroom may not have looked like kh3/dr’s, but I like to believe it was probably similarly designed. (He learned a lot about teaching from Hestia 🥰)
Lyra first appeared here :) the rest of the students are new, I made them up on the spot
my ass could not have handled making Overmorrow as a webcomic

The inmates of The Fortress of Meropide sometimes have stupid conversations and play dumb little games, like "what's the best thing you've ever stolen and gotten away with." Getting their duke in on it is a wild card, because Wriothesley gives a different answer every time, and no one can tell when he's kidding or not. One time he answered "the position of warden" and well. That one's definitely true. So maybe he's not lying. Either way the inmates love listening to him, since they all adore Wriothesley so much. ♡
Sigewinne on the other hand is banned from playing anymore because her answer is always "the duke's virginity" and like. How do you compete with that. You don't. It's an automatic win HSKJZMXKSNSMDKD

Doctor: Huh, is that who I am now?
Donna: It was never that far from the surface, mate.
Doctor: frowns Yes, it was! You know I used to be a woman. And that made people... assume all sorts of stuff. And - and pretending to be Graham's wife for five minutes was bad enough but - Byron? That was torture. Does the man ever stop talking?
Donna: Takes one to know one
Doctor: Oi! I just mean, there were all these men people assumed I would be into and I - and I just - I just wanted -
Donna: I know, darling.
Doctor: softly I just wanted Yaz.
Donna: I know. - There was one man, though, remember?
Doctor: No, there wasn't! I don't fancy the Master!
Donna: ...
Doctor: Okay, fine. But the Master isn't a man. He's like me! Flexible - uh - timelord gender and stuff.
Donna: Sure.
Doctor: So, anyway, I have always been primarily into wom-
Donna: What about Jack Harkness?
Doctor: - Jack doesn't count, everyone fancies Jack.
Donna: ...fair enough.

i prefer amateur art with its mistakes and rough spots so much over overpolished professional art. if something's created perfectly i tune out the effort it takes to make it perfect. but if somethings created poorly, on purpose or on accident, it draws me in so much more because i can conceptualize the creative process more easily

I was teaching Ophelia’s death scene this week and one of my classes spontaneously giggled when she died (because they are 16 years old and emotionally immature) and I said, in a shocked voice, “it is NOT funny” and they all insisted that it was and so I let it go but then the next day I showed them some Ophelia art, made them think about how sinister it was that her death happens offstage but is still described in such detail for the viewer, which tells us she was WATCHED but not HELPED as she died, and then played a clip from Branagh’s Hamlet of Kate Winslet singing a mourning song for her father and when I tell you how satisfying it was to hear a total and complete hush fall over the room
