this video sucks ass lmfao

so heres a list of things i found ass about this video:

the video suggests that the best way to handle modern nazi sympathizers is through ridicule, but that alone isnt rlly helpful. laughing at them doesn’t actively counter their ideology, dismantle their rhetoric, etc. "pointing and laughing" doesn’t challenge the structural and ideological foundations that allow nazis to persist.

literally just fifteen minutes of dancing around the idea of engaging with reichblr members, at one point saying, "use your judgment" when it comes to harassment [1:40]. and then saying "if theyre adults, um, someone needs to punch them in the face" [3:52] casually encouraging assault against innocent people

"holocaust is not a joking matter in any way whatsoever it's it's straight up awful and I disagree with anyone turning into a joke" who joked about the holocaust. who??? nobody on reichblr, as far as ive been here, has joked about the holocaust

the creator claims to respect history and historical research while dismissing entire parts of the history community (reichblr) they personally don’t like. for example, preferring "smart people" in certain history communities while dunking on the reichblr community, this comes off as arbitrary.

the video spends more time ridiculing the artistic quality of fan art but not a single second addressing actual nazis. which i personally think is a waste of time & was supposed to be the point of the video but okay.

"to this day there is still a very vocal minority of individuals that like them [nazis]" no, no there isnt. if there are, theyre not in the reichblr community.

also they use artwork, some from my moots, without permissions. pretty sure thats not ethical. oh and they called their art a "waste of time & skill" which is just a dick move and such an unnecessary comment to make on a video that discusses (or atleast tried to) something so serious as nazis.

"like glorifying nazi germany is horrible" [4:55] no proof of anybody glorifying nazi germany. then continues to say "nobody needs to be drawing that [anime hitler]" which makes me think their supposed idea of a nazi is somebody who just draws nazis then support them.

overall the video feels so confusing. it’s hard to tell what the creator’s actual point is because they’re jumping between mocking random nazi-related fan art and discussing extreme online subcultures without a clear direction. it sounds like they’re mostly frustrated with people who romanticize nazi imagery online—particularly the niche reichblr stuff—but then they go off on tangents about how these people might be dumb, or how their art is bad, without actually addressing the deeper, more dangerous parts of neo-nazi ideology.

the video seems to be trying to say that anyone who engages with or posts nazi-related content (even as art or a joke which ninety percent of the reichblr fandom does) is problematic, but then doesnt make it clear where the line is. are they talking about people who simply appreciate history? or those who glorify nazi leaders and their actions? its unclear.

plus, the mocking tone just adds confusion because they mock the fan art but also say that mocking them isn’t enough, but then the creator doesn’t really offer any solutions or actions beyond "laugh at them."

i did watch this video while half asleep (im also writing this half asleep but shhh), but if i can still find bullshit in ur video with one of my eyes closed and my brain struggling to work i think u may be in the wrong.

in summary the creator js rants, makes unnecessary comments about art they dont like, and cannot even be bothered to point out any real nazis amongst the reichblr community by simply generalising all of us into being a nazi.

its crazy how they claimed artist on reichblr were wasting their time and skill on their art whilst the creator of this video actually wasted their time making this dumbass video that didnt proove or disproove shit.

Agatha All Along deep dive: episode 4 part 1

(Wandavision entries: [1][2][3])

(AAA entries: ep1 [1][2][3][4] ep2 [1][2][3][4] ep3 [1][2][3] ep4 [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][+1] ep5 [1][2][3][4][5] ep6 [1][2][3] ep7 [1][2][3][4][5][6] ep8 [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] ep9 [1][2][3][4][5][6])

It's episode 4 If I Can't Reach You / Let My Song Teach You, time for two of my favorite things: glam rock and homosexuals. which are basically the same thing if you think about it.

she's like damn, billy, that was ruthless. honestly this is going to make her care about billy even more, not only he's powerful, not only he reminds her of nicky. now he's a murderer too?? perfect son is perfect. I love how she's studying sharon's body with her detective Agnes face, her mind is going a million miles a minute

her third-wall-break winks destroy me. and that poor hairdo. all gone expect for the giant turd on top.

alice being truly and genuinely sorry about sharon. lilia and jen being gossiping hags

agatha honey you're so dainty and feminine, look at you. and that's an interesting and not at all painful tree shape you picked. (I would have never noticed any of this without brightening the scene, it's outrageous. everyone involved in this show is amazing except the lighting department. shame on you lighting department)

whatever alice does openly and sincerely, agatha does secretly or as a joke. parallels, parallels

jen is like, can you believe this bitch

without being asked, alice goes to help digging the grave

that is the idiot I fell in love with and I'm way past regretting my choices at this point!! I know how rio feels now

"coven two" is one of those lines that make you laugh on first view and shreds your heart in a million tiny pieces at every following rewatch. this show HAS to be watched at least twice, don't ever trust reviews or complaints by ppl who didn't, because they missed at least half of what makes it great.

a clown running from the tragic truth that her son wrote the Ballad, making sad clown noises all over the Road

when alice is called to referee as the Resident Ballad Expert and agatha looks at her expectantly hands in pockets, somehow extremely obnoxious, extremely gay and extremely sad at the same time

alice is SO above bickering. jen is being a baby because she's mad at agatha, lilia is being a baby cause she's grumpy and a contrarian, billy is sixteen, agatha is, well, agatha. alice is the only adult in the building

just one, huh? that's fine. that's fine. who needs a heart anyway.

the common gypsophila or baby's breath symbolizes sincerity, purity, innocence. does it symbolizes sharon? or is billy leaving it on her grave a metaphor for his naivety and good intentions gone wrong?

billy's romantic ideals of what it means to be in a coven have just been shattered. he set out, consciously or not, to teach something to these witches and of course it didn't work. he is the one who needs guidance, he is the one who's making a mess of things. he's just a kid.

agatha going !! when billy says he wishes he could go home. agatha covertly pointing out that he has a replacement body and she would really like to know how. she's observing him so closely, trying to puzzle out the mystery. exactly like she did with wanda inside the Hex. not revealing her cards just yet, testing and manipulating him. when that strategy blew up in her face so spectacularly the first time! she's so smart and so reckless it makes her practically an idiot

case in point: she's making up stupid rules trying to manipulate billy into shaping the Road the way she wants. that's right, agatha. let's summon another poor victim you can siphon, wonder who's gonna show up! (and she KNEW sharon was laying dead ten feet away and SOMEONE was bound to be in the neighborhood. dumbass.)

aww he's so proud of himself for having brought the spellbook. he's being helpful! he's made his four moms happy!

check, debatable, check

debatable and debatable

I'm gonna give that one a BIG check

yes I know advil spells "vidal", thank you tumblr for letting me know that one. also same, alice.

'esse viridis non es facile' IT'S NOT EASY BEING GREEN?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! oh I knew my high school latin was bound to come in handy at least once in my life

(by the way the set + costumes combo is giving me such hocus pocus vibes, but you could never tell because the SCENE IS SO FUCKING DARK) (NO I WON'T SHUT UP ABOUT IT)

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH

I mean girls, you chose to follow the head clown, you have to travel in the clown car. that's on you.

WHY IS THE PRINT SO SMALL???? I LOVE YOU PATTI LUPONE

admit it we all wished it was sharon for a moment

oh?? is that mayhaps someone you know, agatha???

and that's a wrap, see you guys tomorrow!

no, I'm kidding, I'm kidding. I'm doing another one tonight. I need to shove all the rio scenes in my eyeballs NOW

go to episode 4 part 2

[schoenht]

↳ the four times he sees the moon and stars in your eyes

character: ace trappola

synopsis: dancing is a language that is felt instead of heard, and he can feel it with every time he sees you move like silk

a/n: HAPPY LATE BDAY NATSUME @kunikame HERE'S MY BDAY PRESENT TO YOU </3 got inspired over there and. we all know how it went so it is EXTREMELY late i am so so so sorry

when he knows that you're not having a good day

He's memorized your favorite song, by beat, by melody, by note. A single note from any other song reminds him of you and all he can see is the corner of your lips flitting upwards, knowing this was the one song you adored more than anything.

One he makes you do because you're having a sad day and he just blasts your favorite song that he knows won't stop you from at least moving your head to the beat. Or swaying it from side to side. Those little moments are the ones that he holds close to his heart, even if he refuses to ever say it out loud. Unlike his symbolic counterpart, he does not wear his heart on his sleeve. He refuses to, for he will never chase someone that could not possibly fall for him back.

Ace can usually tell when you're in a bad mood and it doesn't take him long to figure out the reason why, even if you haven't told him. He says he's just smart like that, no. He knows that he cares about you so deeply that it is impossible for him not to know why you are in a bad mood.

He'll show up, play your favorite song, and ask, "Maybe a nap?"

"Ace, I can't nap with music playing."

"Pathetic."

But he knows this too. He looks at you like you've hung all the stars and the moon. There are times he believes you have. He hides it, believing that you are the sun to his moon: only bits of each other seen, never fully embracing the other.

2. when you are surrounded by your friends

"Epel, I am losing to you, I don't care that you're from the country!"

"You say that now, but I'm goin' to make you eat your words!"

"How about you--oh, it's starting!"

Ace sat next to Deuce as he watched you dance to a new game that Crowley had given you for Christmas. However, you didn't have a console. So the first years all scrounged around and got enough money to buy you one, co-owned by the others. And tonight was the night for Ramshackle to host a sleepover.

As he watched you nudge Epel aside casually to try and make him concede, his eyes softened. Forgive him for wanting to get too close to the sun, but he wanted to be around you more than he wanted oxygen. You were his oxygen. Even the darkest and gloomiest day could instantly be lit up by you.

No, what was he saying. He couldn't chase after someone who didn't like him. He was not Icarus, he wouldn't fall.

But oh, as he watched your expression, beaming at the small numbers on the screen, he knew he would plunge into the depths of the ocean if only for the promise that you would be on the sea floor, waiting for him.

Before he knew it, it was his turn. He got up quickly and grabbed Epel's controller. You pointed at Ace with your controller. "Be warned, Ace, I have not lost a single game to this dance and I don't plan on starting now."

"Big talk, you only wave your hands around to win! You don't fully dance!"

Your banter made his chest warm with affection for you. He loved it when this happened. With each word you tossed at each other, he knew that he would leave every single thing behind for you, if only for a glance from you.

3. when you are too close to him, willingly

The end of the final year was always bittersweet. Ace had grown through the years, becoming much more mature but still upholding his title as a complete lovable dumbass. Somehow, he became the housewarden, Deuce at his side. They would bicker a lot and it showed that even after all this time, they never changed. Occasionally, some of the new first years would ask if Deuce was actually the housewarden, to which Ace would be outraged.

"Can you believe that?! They thought Juice was the housewarden! Is this crown just an accessory to them!?"

You picked up another rock, checking for its smoothness. "Uh huh."

"You're not even listening!"

"No, I meant 'uh huh' as in I agree, they think it's an accessory."

Ace poked you, his lips downturned. "You think I'm stupid, don't you?"

You raised an eyebrow as you extended your hand out for him. In your hold was a smooth rock. "Your brain is as wrinkly as this rock."

"Love you too."

Ace goes back to his dorm, where Deuce is waiting for him. Deuce glances at him quizzically and then squints. As much bravado as Ace has, he knows that Ace is deep down a coward around you. "You didn't ask them to the dance, did you?"

"They insulted me--"

"No, they didn't. Answer the question."

The ginger shook his head, letting out a long and weary sigh. He had had a crush on you for the past three years and yet somehow, he had never once been able to hang out with you alone. No, either Deuce or Grim had to join you. And now he only had one shot to ask you to a dance. Perhaps he could go big. No, that wouldn't help. He would look stupid. This was so hard and for no reason. But he knew what Riddle would say if he was there. "Stop being foolish. You must do what you are meant to do." Granted, he was talking about following the rules, but he knew it applied in this case.

~

Sure enough, it had worked out in his favor. He claimed that he had never been nervous, but of course Deuce had to debunk that. He had been shaking like a chihuahua at the prospect of even asking you to the final dance of the school year.

The night was young and lively, with bubbling excitement from the third years. It would be their turn to leave next and once they did, the possibilities would be endless.

Endless, Ace thought. It was a synonym for forever, eternity even. If he didn't act soon, he could lose you for that time.

So he shoved aside his so called "pride" and went to you. "Dance with me."

"Wow, no asking anymore?"

He couldn't hold back a snort. "Okay, fine. Will you dance with me?"

"I thought you'd never ask."

Oh, how lovely was it to have you in his arms, just the two of you in your own little world. The party had slowed during this part of the night and its stillness, its calm was what made Ace realize he would rather burn than lose you. Maybe he would burn from staring at you for too long. Every star had its final dazzling moment before collapsing, after all. It seemed impossible for that to happen to you. The universe's vastness could not compare to the overwhelming emotions that belonged to him. He couldn't take it anymore.

The moon needed its sun desperately.

4. when the world stops to hold only the two of you in its hands

Domesticity was a word that he never believed in. He had a lot of energy to spare, ready for any spontaneous adventures, shenanigans and schemes.

All of that stopped when your union to him came along. He had asked the biggest question of his life a year ago and now, here you were, right in front of him as you made yourself a warm drink at 2 in the morning. You weren't tired, or more so, Ace knew that you struggled to sleep these days. So he would stay up with you.

He walked over as you stared at the bubbling pot, seemingly lost in your own little headspace. With a soft spoken voice, he gently called for your name. "You okay?"

"Yeah. Just thinking." You fiddled with your ring, the one that matched his.

Ace knew this mood of yours very well. He looked out the window, the sky dark and sprinkled with hundreds of stars. The earth seemed to be asleep, making them the only people in the universe in his mind.

With a small tug of your hands in his, he took you into his arms as he slowly began to sway with you. Side to side, a small two step. Ace was not much of a singer besides that one VDC competition back at NRC. Yet his favorite song was the one he danced with you on the day you were wed. Even now he hummed it softly as he hugged you close, afraid that if he let go, you would be far from his grasp.

But you would merely look up at him, eyes to his red ones, and it would calm him down. No, he wasn't afraid of losing you anymore. How could he? He planted a soft kiss to your head. "I love you."

"I love you too. Go to bed."

"No, you."

"Fine. Both of us."

Ace agreed, it only seemed like a fair trade. He turned off the stove and followed you to bed, curled up on you like he had grown accustomed to.

Your beginning was that of a galaxy, far out of reach and, while never getting into eternity's territory, it became that of a binary star system: gravitationally bound to each other.

Pulsatio Cordis Review

TL;DR: You know when you're talking to the person you've got a crush on, and, then, you turn into a certified dumbass and say something stupid? So, imagine that, except it's not you, but your crush, and your crush isn't saying anything stupid, but everything homicidal, and it's like, oh...mkaaaaaay. Suddenly, that weird thing that you said earlier ain't that weird anymore. Talk about awkward...

Game Link: https://lucia-lily.itch.io/pulsatio-cordis

Notable Features: Gender selection, Self-Insert, Affinity system, Multiple endings Spiciness: 0/5 -- It's definitely not innocent, but as far as spiciness? There wasn't any. It was lowkey kind've sweet, though, in an overlook all the red flags and fix him sort of way LI Red Flags: 4.5/5 -- Intense shifts in emotions, stalking, obsessive, drugged us, homicidal, manipulative, kidnapped us, forged a letter, planted evidence

Wanna know more? Well, let's get into it!

Yo. How's it going?

I'm gonna be real with y'all; I really don't feel like doing an intro lmao. Sometimes, I deadass don't know what to say, and I'm at a loss as to how to start it off. I also don't push myself to make an intro either so lol. I figure if I just be honest about it, it won't seem as lazy. Is that working?

Anyways, I think I was scrolling around on...Itch.io? Actually, I think this one came from here. I think I saw, like, a picture or something... Anyways, I discovered this game, and it was pretty solid! I'll get more into it later, but just as a whole, pretty damned solid!

I feel like I should mention something, though. This review has been done for like...weeks now, but I was making a post that kind've goes along with this, and it wasn't done and still isn't, so I never posted this lmao. It was honestly a "hear me yap more" type thing, because there was an aspect of this game that was super interesting, and I couldn't help myself.

...Okay, now, I really don't know what else to say so, we're just gonna jump right in. As always, I'll tell you as much about the game as possible without spoiling the game itself. That being said, let's take advantage of my lack of yappin' and get into it.

So boom.

Let me just cut to the chase: we are down bad for this hottie at school named Liev Lavanté. Like, bro, even his last name is hot. Could you imagine having a last name like that? That was a trick question, because we've already pictured us getting married and living together and being so domestic together with the cooking and the hugs from behind and siiiiiiiiiigh~ <3

Anyways, he's absolutely perfect in every way possible. He's super smart, super popular, super charming, super attractive, super...well, super everything. I point that out, because, aside from there being a massive amount of competition, the main issue is that he is, very clearly, way out of our league, but yolo right? Right. Not to mention that the worse possible thing that could happen was us getting shut down, so...? Fuck it, we ball, and, with that ball, we shoot our shot. Basketball references, am I right? Aha....ha....okay, anyways.

Actually, let me correct that. We kind've shooted out shot (shot our shot didn't hit the same, so it was necessary to be illiterate; just overlook it lmao). In actuality, we weren't that brave about it, but it still took us well out of our comfort zone to make a cheesy ass confession letter and shove it in his locker.

So, now, we're at home, anxious aye eff, because we were extremely bold and basically told this man that we wanted to slob his knob (not really, I'm just a degenerate) in writing, and we're mentally preparing to get rejected, cry it off this weekend, and move on wi-- wait.

Holy shit, wait--!!!!!

AH--!!

FOR A DATE, THOUGH, OR...??! FREE FOR WHAT???

OH M-- ALEXA!! PLAY THAT REMIX WITH BEYONCE IN IT BECAUSE

I.

AM ON.

TO SEE.

MY HUSBAND.

I'M HAPPEH. I'M HAPPEH. TO SEE. MY HUSBAND...until we weren't lmao. Yeeeeeeeeeah, let's dial it back and remember that this is one of those visual novels. Now, let me explain the issue.

So...there are times where Liev gets reeeeeally intense.

Like, insanely so, and, I don't think you guys understand what I mean (well, of course you don't, because you haven't played it yet. Duh moment. Anyways...); he's one of those people that either feels nothing, or he feels everything...sorta. Let me keep explaining.

So, one of the first things that we did was go out to eat, and, admittedly, the staff were struggling a bit, but it's all good, ya know, because we're with bae. Like, we're talkin' and vibin'. We're learning about him, he's learning about us, and we're just chillin'. Time goes by, and the waiter eventually comes out with our main dish, as expected.

Now, that sounds like something totally normal and innocent, right?

Yeah, no...apparently it wasn't, because Liev was really pissed off about that waiter interrupting our conversation.

What makes this more off-putting is that, not only did he highkey blow up about the waiter, but he started saying some pretty dark stuff. Now, mind you! We just confessed to this man and are having our first real conversation with him, and he's coming out of the woodwork with this stuff. Like, Liev was saying that he was in love with us and how everyone could burn in hell and that he wants to hold us but also murder everyone in the room and--

Like, bro, it just kept going...but then he stops and returns to normal conversation like the conversation hadn't ever not been normal. Like, oh...m'kay ._.

Naturally, this kind've puts us off...like, a lot. Actually, this puts us off so much that we've gone into survival mode. Like, we're literally just trying to get through the date without triggering Liev and getting ourselves killed. Now, this seems like a simple enough task, but, aside from the fact that it's never that easy in games like these, it's a guessing game as to what would actually make Liev flip or not.

Like, are stuffed animals the trigger?

Is it holding his hand?

Is it when we've finally had enough and ignore him?

Like, what makes Liev go from being okay to being not okay? It's literally a matter of life or death to know these things, because Liev is not beyond confrontation.

So, it'd be best to tread lightly, or it could get really violent, really fast.

So! Not bad! Pretty damned solid game!

It definitely wasn't one of my favorites, like, story or yandere-wise, but holy hell, was it one of my favorites clinical-wise! The way that it's clearly laid out that, "No, he's not just some random psycho and a bad person; he's legitimately mentally ill and is in serious need of help" was sooooo satisfyingly done. Now, admittedly, it was a lil' obvious here and there, but it wasn't bad!

Designs of the characters were cute, we had an MC with darker skin, which is, personally, always exciting to see, and the flow of the story was done really well, in my opinion! There were times where it'd go from, like, 0 - 75, sometimes 100, without warning, but it actually made sense as to why it'd happen like that, which was fantastically implied and lowkey laid out.

Anyways, I honestly don't have too much else to say about it, except that I really enjoyed the mental health aspect of it. I loved it so much, I couldn't help but do that thing that I tend to do and diagnose Liev. Lol if you want to see me ramble more about that in depth, you can check that out...whenever I actually post it lmao; it's a work in moderate progress at the moment ^^;

To get back on track though, I recommend a casual playthrough! It's the right duration for the story that's being provided, there's multiple endings, which is always interesting, and Liev is a lil' cutie...even though, I really wish that he was at least drinking age. Something about-- well, for the sake of potential spoilers, I'll just say that I don't like that Liev was out here collecting scholarships. Like, that just gave me full ick lmao. It was my fault, though, because had I actually read the game page and not said "Ooh, he's cute and the page is in pink! <3", then I would've saw how it said big as shit that

and

Like, there was no reason for me to be shocked by mentions of him getting scholarships and shit lmao. I literally just had to read.

Okay, wait, no, stop; I got off track. ANYWAYS lol. Me recommend game. Game solid. Game make me go "Damn...that actually kind've sucks, and I feel bad...". Game might make you go "Damn...that actually kind've sucks, and I feel bad...", too. All right! Now with that finally being said, I invite you to go to the dev's page, and tell them, "Hey! You did a good job here! When's the next game dropping? I'll be first in line for it, because I want you to keep doing the thing!". I'm sure that'll make them feel all warm and fuzzy and proud.

That's pretty much it! This review was a little scattered, huh? Well, I'm sure it's all right, because I'm finally done yappin'. The link for the game is right here, and, if you wanted to see the therapist side of me and hear me yap about Liev's potential diagnosis, keep a look out for that post. It'll be posted...eventually lmao. That's honestly why it took me so long to post this rambley review, because the plan was to put them out together, but it was nearing towards the end of the month, and you already knew that I wasn't going to let an entire month go by without posting something. Better yet, I try really hard not to.

Anyways, the biggest preesh for getting this far! Please, please, please remember to drink water, don't be dumb, and hope to see you around~!

thinking about mreader being the son of a like.... extremely wealthy n powerful person or something, like maybe they're a very important person in the army but idk. mreader has a couple of younger siblings but he's the eldest because :3

and it comes to a point where they're well known and people want to marry them bc of the wealth they'll have access to. but mreader's smart and doesn't take any of them, even when his parent complains about them needing to marry someone, anyone, bc idk plot reasons

and then idk what happens but i guess the parent throws a dinner party or something for the soldiers jnother guests to celebrate something, and ofc you're expected to join bc hello

and so you're mingling, talking to people, ignoring people whose interests are his money. but one particular asshole doesn't get the memo and corners mreader and harasses him, and just when all hope seems to vanish, someone steps in and scares the dumbass away

he asks you if you're alright, and introduces himself as captain john price, and silly fool he is, kisses your hand which makes you laugh. he talks w you for a while, getting to know you, gour personalities melting together in a pleasant away, before you get interrupted - by the rest of 141.

they've been watching price talk to you a while and kiss your hand the same way price did. they talk w you, and it's a pleasant one. you keep up with them nicely - well, moreso they keep up with you. you're educated, you're clever, you're intelligent - they're soldiers.

and while like everyone else, they only talked to get closer to your wealth, they come to realize that they actually like you because of you, not bc of your wealth, and tension builds when they realize all of the 141 members like you, too. they have money, yes, that's true, but they seem penniless when compared to you, but you never once bring up your family's wealth.

you talk for a while, liking each other's company, before your sibling whisks you away. they all watch you as you're dragged away and only look away when you disappear into one of the large and expensive looking doors - fuck, the whole place looks luxurious and expensive.

and then it's all four members giving each other sharp looks, with one thought in mind: you will be theirs, no matter the cost.

Hello.

I am the one who asked about doing a crossover between stcmo and "You Look Like Yourself ...".

I've written a fanfiction inspired by your AUs, it's called "A chance in a billion" if you'd like to read it.

Here's the link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/62071840

Still love your writing.

To avoid any confusion, this work is an AU of two of my AU's mashed together and is therefore not canon to StCMO or TASB lore!

Starting off by confirming that, considering Ford 419"3 gets to other dimensions via wormholes (which travel through both space and time), it is entirely plausible that Ford 419"3 could stumble across his significantly younger twin brother in the multiverse.

The very first paragraph just really sucker punches you, especially when it's obvious that Stan is coping with humor. It sets the tone perfectly and establishes Stan's character all within a few lines of inner dialogue. The next few paragraphs give a great look into how Stan wound up in the multiverse as well as Stan and Ford's dynamic, which is clearly strained.

The fact that Stan had a gut feeling about Ford 419"3 is a nice nod to the bond between Stans and Fords, who are bound together by the universe itself to maintain balance. And Stan just straight up ditching his current Ford to go investigate Ford 419"3 is hilarious because yeah, he absolutely would.

Ugh, how soft Ford 419"3 is with Stan is everything to me, indulging him in a scan just because Stan asked him to. Ford 419"3 is a paper man for Stans, no backbone to be seen lol. And the reveal! The way Ford 419"3 just fucking freezes, which of course Stan takes as a negative reaction. The poor bby. I love how Ford 419"3 is so effortlessly gentle even when he's having and internal crisis, catching Stan's wrist in an easily breakable hold- I gdhofxzdhzzhhdgcj I'm totally normal about it, clearly.

Not possessive Ford interrupting their heartfelt reunion, lmao. Love that shit. The immediate switch from sweet and soft to deadly and homicidal is near-instant for Ford 419"3. He's extremely proficient at both close and long range combat, having trained and altered his body to better accomplish his mission. I'd even argue that, between 419"3 Ford's combat experience, body enhancements, and his ability to see into the future, he's one of the most dangerous Fords in the multiverse.

Lee to the rescue! Lee is basically the human embodiment of a chill pill. Dude has calming Ford 419"3 down to an art form, lol. I love seeing their closeness from an outsider's perspective, especially in situations where you get to see that closeness. It doesn't get much better than Ford 419"3 abruptly shifting gears and scrambling to get Lee out of the danger zone when he fearlessly puts himself between two pissed off Fords.

I'm weirdly saddened by the fact that Stan has to announce himself to the Ford he's traveling with when he touches him (and is clearly worried about being hit), but that's probably because I'm so used to Lee and Ford 419"3, who would recognize each other's touch even half dead. I'm cackling about Stan being unceremoniously hauled away though, that's top tier comedy right there.

Lee taking the lead because the Fords are currently useless in their posturing is my Roman empire. Lee is smart and resourceful, able to navigate almost any situation you throw him in.

I theorize that the Ford's aren't speaking English because they're saying some vile shit to each other and don't want Stan and Lee to overhear, lmao.

The way Lee claps back to "Scarry" with "Kiddo" made me laugh, that's so him.

Pissy Ford is being pissy, surprise surprise. Way to stalk off without even using your own scanner to confirm that you are, in fact, leaving Stan with his twin and not just some random Ford. A+ big brothering right there. Smartest dumbass alive lol.

Best believe Ford 419"3 knows that Lee's gonna be insecure about his place in Ford's life now that he found his original brother. Lee is likely to distance himself with the intention of letting the two reconnect, trying to brace himself for (in his eyes) the inevitable separation between him and Ford 419"3. There's no reason to keep Lee around anymore after all, right? Wrong bro. So wrong. Ford's got two younger brothers now as far as he's concerned.

Everything about their interaction in the nest makes me so warm and fuzzy, Stan's finally getting the contact and care that he craves. I am a puddle, your honor. I eagerly look forward to more! I'll be re-reading this often, I can already tell. Thank you for writing this!!!

Okay so like I have THOUGHTS on Jay Merrick as a character. Like none of them are bad (completely) but I just need to emphasize that these feelings I have about him are very strongly held opinion and have been formed over the last about 3 years. To be honest when I see something I disagree with I just calmly move on and don't engage. 

Okay so there are 4 posts that summarize my entire opinion on this man and I am going to link them and After I add the links I'm going to do what I do best and ramble. 

Now for the ramble:

Start off with the important one Jay is not this innocent cinnamon roll who has done nothing wrong ever in his life. He is not pure and passive guy that everyone tends to portray him as. 

Jay has done many questionable things throughout the entire series. He has broken into Alex's apartment, he lied to several people on several occasions, he stalked several people, he posted Tim's medical records online, he has trespassed on several properties, ect. He has committed crimes and done questionable things. 

Despite the questionable things he's done, I still think Jay is overall a decent person. A great person? No, not really. He's morally gray. Like some positive aspects about Jay he is a sympathetic person and avoidant of violence. Like dude literally tried talking down a guy who was holding him at gun point. When Tim punched him in the parking lot he just took it didn't fight back. When Tim opens up to him about his past he comforts him.

He's not conflict avoidant by any means but he's not violent either. He is not at all innocent but he is also not a terrible person is my point I guess because like everyone in this series has at least done something questionable I feel.

Jay has sass and I love that he bites back. I also feel portraying him as awkward is accurate though cuz he is I mean look at his conversations and interviews with Tim and Jessica. He is awkward and a terrible liar. Like the sass and the awkwardness don't really contradict. I would love to see a portrayal that strikes this balance because I know so many people who are extremely sassy but also can't hold a social interaction for the life of them.

Jay is also a dumbass but I don't think anyone is arguing for his smarts I just can't make a post about Jay withour bullying him because it's funny. 

Honestly people can portray a character however the fuck they want tbh I just wanted to rant about my views on the characters because character analysis is my bread and butter.

Lap of luxury

Being a doctor, especially a neurologist wasn’t easy………..you worked extremely hard to earn your position in the medical profession. You were one of the best of the country, politicians, businessmen, rich people in general approached you and only you. You were the best after all. But being the best neurologist wasn’t the only popular trait you had….you gorgeous face and oh so perfect body had everyone swooned over you. People would blush after only having a few words with you, you were smart, extremely sharp and smart but also stoic. You didn’t really pay attention to anyone, just did your work and took your pay check every month. You lived in a modest apartment, it was only you, your family lived in your home country. Everything was quiet until the famous politician, Kletus king showed up. You didn’t know about him before, apparently he was a very influential man that practically owned the country. You didn’t know much since you came to this country for career purposes.

You were casually sitting in your hospital office, you had just finished a good 6 hour surgery. You were playing Roblox (or whatever) on your phone when suddenly there was aggressive shouting outside. Startled by the noise, you tried to listen carefully but you still couldn’t make anything out of the shouting so….you returned to Roblox, occasionally chuckling on the creative insults the children throw at each other on voice chat. It was concerning the amount of cusses they knew but hey, you have your entertainment. The door of your office suddenly banged open loudly, the director himself was standing there, his hair disheveled, his glasses rest low on his nose bridge and his loud breathing. He looked like a panicking mess. In his shaky voice, he told you that you have to take another surgery. You were about to refuse but something in his eyes told you not to. You asked him why, he silently shut the door before whispering,

“I-it’s him, please please just perform the surgery, his officials will kill me if he doesn’t make it”, you were even more confused now, who was this ‘him’? And why was the director scared of him? Before you could ponder further, a few tall, muscled men barged in. One of them shot the director a heated glare before turning to you, he glare softening slightly. He respectfully explained everything to you, how you need to perform surgery on kletus king inorder to remove a bullet from his brain. You agreed, the director took a breath of relief.

Upon entering the operation theatre, you saw a huge brawny man on the operating theatre. He was extremely muscular with a lot of hair everywhere, he was honestly scary to look at. His complexion was pale. Soon, the operation began. It was an excruciatingly long surgery, the bullet was deep into his brain but you got it out somehow. The surgery was obviously a success, you were the main surgeon. Kletus was kept in the operation theatre for a few hours, before returning to his huge hospital room. You were thanked by the officials, it was an okay experience. You did take updates on Kletus every day since you operated on him, he woke up after a few days. His first reaction was to act aggressive and scare the nurses and doctors away, his imposing 6’7 height, muscled body along with the rough scowl he always had on his face scared everyone but his aggression and shouting made some cry. He did calm down a bit after his secretary explained everything to him, he explained to Kletus how he was shot in the head during an assassination attempt and had to be brought to the hospital. The dumbass secretary went as far as taking your name and how you saved him from death, how he should be grateful to you, Kletus was enraged again, why should he be thankful to a puny doctor like you? However, somehow Kletus did give in to thanking you.

You were called into his room, Kletus was facing the window. He was in his normal clothes since it was his last day at the hospital. His beard was groomed now and his 3 piece suit crisp and clean. As he heard the door close, his green eyes shifted to you…..the glass of water that was in his hand slipped from his hand, to him everything left like it was in slow motion. His heartbeat picked up at the mere sight of you. Your shiny (h/c) locks, lush curves and beautiful face…fuck….,it was love at first sight. He didn’t even notice the glass breaking, he was too busy imagining, taking you out on dates, proposing to you, marrying you, having you shiver beneath him as he makes babies with you, having you swollen with his children, you being his lovely house wife with his children. He literally imagined everything in 10 seconds meanwhile you were awkwardly standing there. His face twisted into a smile as he walked towards you, kissing your hand like a gentleman before putting his muscular arm around your slim waist and taking you infront of the big window. His grip on your waist was tight but not too tight. His deep, masculine voice whispered to you how beautiful you are and how talented you are, his huge, calloused hand caresses your hip, very carefully. You tell him that you have other patients to take care of, you are about to leave when he grabs your wrist, before saying the words,

“Marry me, doctor”

My belated anime journey (Part 1)

So, it's been two years 😅I wasn't into anime growing up (except for a short Sailor Moon obsession), but in my late 20s Naruto happened to me (or rather Obito and Kakashi captured my heart and soul). So now i'm wandering around this extremely diverse and multifaceted 2D universe trying to educate myself and see what's out there (and there's SO MUCH out there i get stressed out sometimes 😅).

Anyway, i just felt like making a list of short anime I've watched for the sake of sharing, defining patterns, and mb getting some recommendations based on my watch history from you ;>

Kids on the Slope (Sakamichi no Aporon)

I'm not an expert on jazz but i do have one favorite jazz playlist 😌This story revolves around three high schoolers each facing their own challenges but united by music this way or the other. Also they form a messy unresolved love geometry (heeey team Minato, my babies), but friendship prevails! (now i'm thinking that this trio is too Obito-Kakashi-Rin coded 😅).

2. Mushishi

This one has a very special place in my heart. Ginko is a very admirable character - selfless, devoted to his calling, mentally stable, and compassionate. He's my role model, basically xD What i also immensely appreciate is that i never know how the story is going to unravel! Accustomed to western storytelling patterns, my brain is genuinely curious. The stories can be hopeful or tragic, you never know, all i can do is wish for the children characters to survive till the end of an episode. Few words, slow pace, beautiful scenery, and lots lots of compassion 💛

3. SPY×FAMILY

This show is pure joy to watch! A spy, an assassin, a child who can read minds, and a doggo who can foresee danger: the Forgers! I love the cool, badass fights, sweet awkwardness between Yor and Loid, and most of all the comedy prompted by Anya! (also TwiYor is one of my veeeery few het ships i root for xD)

4. Buddy Daddies

Two hitmen-partners happen to adopt a little girl who calls them Kazuki Papa and Rei Papa. Similar dynamics to Spy Family but instead of the warring states they face mafia organizations. And surprisingly, i was absolutely fine with the two dudes being just friends - they were wholesome enough like that, and it's a new facet of displaying family dynamics with no romance involved :3

5. The Apothecary Diaries (Kusuriya no Hitorigoto)

Maomao is one of my forever favorite characters! This girl has a passion, so what if it happens to be poisons xD She is incredibly smart, realistic, rational, and too wise for her young age. She knows how the cruel world around her functions and adapts (her attitude to being kidnapped and sold to work in a palace is pure inspiration "oh well, let's see what i can do"). Every episode is a cool mystery that all come together by the end of the season. The colors, chibi stylized scenes, and good humor make the HEAVY topics digestible and not as horrifying. (also i'd prefer if Jinshi treated her like a little sister rather than a potential love interest - come on! she's like a 14 yo baby!)

6. School Babysitters (Gakuen Bebīshittāzu)

Apparently i love the "cute anime babies" genre xD These kids are so sweet, and funny, and adorable ^^ Every ep is just a dose of kindness, love, and fun! Some high schoolers and a very lazy adult work at the school's daycare where shenanigans and silliness happen every minute 😁(when i get anxious over smth i read a chapter of the manga and instantly feel better).

7. GTO (Great Teacher Onizuka)

I'm so glad i listened to Mai and watched GTO 😂🙏 It's HILARIOUS! I miss that fool, that dumbass, that sweet, heart-of-gold idiot! A former (very young) gang leader wants to be a school teacher and ends up being a guardian angel to many neglected kids. The 90s Japan was not an ideal place (especially for girls), and it's all there in the show, but Onizuka's heart is in the right place and all he does is to help his students. And have fun. And earn some cash 😅 btw Eikichi x Azusa is another het ship i love and root for :D

8. Wotakoi: Love Is Hard for Otaku (Wotaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii)

Four nerds are being nerds (and trying to make their love lives work). I enjoyed watching the girls bond over their bl smut brainrot - it was srsly good fandom besties representation! 😁 And the older couple was fun to watch.

Okay, i'll stop here for now :3 I'll make part 2 later, but if you have any recs based on part 1 i'll be grateful 💛😌

[tartsinarat]

Luz decides to try alchemy and Pip offers to help.

For a week Luz has to use a mechanical arm and leg as a replacement for her real one and Pip’s soul is stuck inside an armor until Eda finds another philosopher soul.

They’re both surprisingly cool with it, especially since Luz can now cast magic without glyphs.

Can’t believe I’ve managed to inadvertently summoned some fma fans to my blog but like tbh the ven diagram between fans of toh and of fma probably does intersect quite a bit with how similar both series are in specific aspects so im not too surprised, but im definitely not complaining as its one of my favourite manga’s and anime’s ever :3

(Oh also be prepared for a long weirdly philosophical tangent at the end…sorry not sorry)

As much as I love this idea/reference I actually don’t know if it could happen? Like in the previous ask that stated a similar idea to this one but with smol King and Pip I kinda let it slide mainly because it’s King who ends up getting the same fate as Alphonse

But because it’s Luz and Pip, with Pip specifically in Al’s place, I’m kinda torn between being like “yeah let’s make it canon to the au as it’s really in character and fun” to “hold on- would this even make sense lore wise?”

Like not because it’s not something that wouldn’t happen, like let’s face it…They're both really smart but when they’re put together, are just complete dumbasses and don’t even realise it. So it’s a kinda given that these two would fuck around and find out so hard that they literally loose an arm, a leg and a whole body.

Though on the other hand I’m not actually 100% sure if Pip (also Hunter as well) even has a soul in the first place for Luz to stick inside the armour?

Like from what I’ve gathered from the show is that a grimwalker is essentially a homunculus (specifically one based on 16th century European alchemy but obviously wayyyy more pg as European alchemists in those times do be wildin) but with maybe a touch of necromancy involved? So they may not actually have souls due to being artificially created which I find really interesting

There’s also the added bonus that Pip is just meant to be an eventual replacement body for Belos so it could be the case that Pip is an empty vessel of sorts so he’s easier to eventually possess and just fully take over

Also I really don’t like the tropes associated to soulless characters, it feels kinda reductive and dehumanising to reduce a person’s emotions and personality to whether or not they have a soul (I guess that’s the point in most media as the soul is usually associated with humanity but I don’t see a show like the owl house even if it’s just an au doing something so tropey, without at least subverting it? As well two of it’s important themes are understanding and acceptance, like it’s not going to dehumanise someone just for the sake of it due to something they can’t control)

Which is why instead, it really doesn’t matter if they do or do not have a soul, with or without it wouldn’t change how Pip’s (and Hunter’s) personality or personhood in any way as that’s who they are and have grown to be like due to their lived experiences. Like Pip wouldn’t just suddenly act less arrogant and emotionally constipated if he had a soul or act more so if he didn’t, as that’s just how he is. If that makes sense?

Also if they were soulless, it would be interesting to explore their dynamic with Belos if that makes sense? Like they act more “human” and empathetic than their creator who sees them as lesser and disposable despite being living, thinking beings who can feel and act freely? Like it’s pretty interesting to think about overall

But yeah unfortunately this is one of those things that’s really complicated to explore and do it justice so I’m probably going to leave up to interpretation for now? I don’t feel equipped enough to handle something that’s so extremely loaded with the grace it deserves and needs with my currently state of maturity and writing

So uh in short, this ask is now both canon and non canon at the same time, your welcome :D

[blkchainsaws]

way way back in the 1980s

modern au!hanatengu clones and their high school experience.

content warning: brat's dumbass headcanons, drabble, mentions of fighting, a bit suggestive on the first part?, mentions of cheating, karaku is a manwhore

i may(MAYBE) update this as time goes on

brat's says...title from the clone high theme cause, clones, high school, get it?

a group of quadruplets. they're extremely popular in their school.

All four of them are extremely popular with the girls, but there is a ranking list between the girls at their high school. It goes, Aizetsu, Karaku, Urogi and Sekido. All the girls like Aizetsu due to his timid, sensitive nature. He is unaware of this and all his brothers are mad that he doesn't realize it.

Karaku is second, he is rated highly for his looks and his flirty personality. However, with this, he is seen as very easy and alot of girls only want one thing from him, which he doesn't mind.

Urogi is third cause while he is hot and funny, he is extremely loud and quite annoying. He doesn't realize this and if we're being honest, he wouldn't care.

Sekido. He's ranked last cause he's literally angry and snappy to everyone. When the girls ranking list got leaked, everyone was afraid he would lash out at being ranked last. He was more mad that his brothers one upped him on the rankings than everyone else, so most of his anger was directed towards them. The brothers rub it in any chance they get.

worst boyfriends ever

Sekido or Karaku are Heartbreakers. Do not trust these men with your heart they will crush it and step on it.

Sekido has a reputation of being distant and cold to his partners, or dumping them randomly. All girls avoid him after his last breakup ended with his ex moving away to avoid him.

Karaku is notorious for messy breakups. The only girls that will date him are either from other high schools or new girls that come to his school. The messiest breakup he was in involved him cheating for 3 months, on his girlfriend of 5 months. Both girls got into a fight in which one pulled out a knife. When he was confronted all he said was "My bad."

Aizetsu and Urogi haven't had any long-term relationships. They can't make it out the talking stage.

WORLDSTARRRR

Sekido. Straight up. There's countless videos of him fighting at school. He's won every fight. He also fights his brothers, but that's more of a play fighting type of deal.

He will fight for his brothers. You got an issue with one of his brothers, you got an issue with him.

"party at our place! ladies get in free, guys gotta pay."

insane. house. parties.

Urogi and Karaku love to host parties and invite anyone who is anyone. Every party has ended with the cops being called due to noise complaints or everyone running cause the cops showed up.

Their parents haven't caught on yet.

speaking of parents...

They have a super nice foster mother. she adopted all four of them along with their little brother Zohakuten. She's a hard working nurse that loves her boys so much and they love her as well. She wants the best for her boys and always encourages them to do their best.

let me see that report card.

Sekido and Aizetsu are top of their classes. Aizetsu was acknowledged as the top student at his school. When called for his reward he accepted it awkwardly and started purposefully failing so he wouldn't be the center of attention anymore.

Sekido is smart and calculated, but he tends to get frustrated when he cannot understand certain questions or lectures, he refuses to be tutored. His last tutor was Aizetsu but they got into a disagreement over a question that ended with a huge fight and a hole in their shared room.

Urogi and Karaku are...troubled. Urogi makes the worst grades, and Karaku doesn't even try.

athletic af

These boys are athletic. Every sport they try they dominate.

Sekido does football, Karaku does basketball, Urogi does track, and Aizetsu doesn't participate in school sports, but he is amazing at basketball.

These boys are the reason their school is on the map for their school teams.

pranksters and interviews

Urogi and Karaku.

You know those youtubers that walk up to you and interview you? "What's the freakiest thing you did?" They do shit like this to get a reaction out of people. They have been reported many times for it.

They're the reason students get routine bag checks. They once pulled a prank with a homemade stink bomb in a closed class room. No one found it funny, not even them.

what does everyone truly think?

euthanize all of them except for aizetsu

[shifting-with-dani]

Do you have any scenarios to script for maze runner??n

I haven’t had a Maze Runner DR for a while but here are some I scripted back when I did:

1: Finding dumbass shit to do and showing it to the others

Basically my main trio in MR was me, Thomas, and Newt. We were smart in our own ways, but together we were the stupidest people in the glade. Essentially we would either be extremely irresponsible or we would find something we would think was fun but was actually stupid and present it to the rest of the glade.

Like this:

2: Making fun of Gally

I love Gally, I really do. But what I did was script that while he was still in the Glade, he was the type of person to be like “when I get mad I see red👹.” On top of that, I made him the most sassy and dramatic mofo in the entire glade.

3: The gladers keep track of the days they’re actually in the maze depending on the season.

I know we don’t see seasons in the movies or the novels but I would not be able to handle full on heat the entire times. Yes, I know the story is following a solar flare that caused “the flare” virus but regardless, I’d be grumpy asf if I had to be in 24/7/265 HEAT. So I scripted that the virus was found another way. Anyway, back to my point, the first person who was ever put in the glade began to keep track of the days depending on when they came in. And their birthday would sort of be like the day they came to the glade since they can’t remember their birthdays anyway. Then they celebrate it when night comes and they’re all around the fire.

4: More jobs throughout the glade

We already see the useful jobs that everyone has. Medic, cook, runner, etc and they all have their own names. But what about those that don’t have any specific skills or just flat out refuse to do whatever job suits them the best? I put more jobs in like entertainers, artists, bartenders, teachers for the younger gladers, etc. Just more extensive jobs the make the place more bearable.

5: Frequent prank wars

There are frequently prank wars around the glade(it’s a bunch of teenagers stuck in a maze what do you expect) with Chuck starting the majority of them. Kind of like how it was briefly explored in the novels.

6: There are pockets in the maze.

I scripted there are little pockets in the walls or the ground in the maze to protect gladers from the grievers should they ever get trapped. Of course, they’re still not completely safe. But it’s better than nothing. And they’re covered by vines.

[fnafsbheadcanon]

Fanon 1: Saves everyone, now lives in the pizzaplex, and is scared and weak and always needs Freddy’s help.

Fanon 2: Gremlin child and is chaotic.

Fanon 3: Gremlin child, but is also a mass murder.

Canon Gregory: *Inhales* … *Exhales* HOW ARE YOU DUMBASSES KEEP FUCKING UP MY CHARACTER?!!!

Canon Gregory: Not gremlin, smart, calm most of time, and his anger is pretty scary at the way does it.

As funny gremlin Gregory is to me and I am all for different interpretation of character. It is weird that a character that either be one extreme or another in the fandom. There's never really that much of a in between area.

[thanakite]

The whole Ms. Peebles thing in Crown Handler Part 3 baffles me each time I watch it because for one even if I was told upon hiring that I needed to be strict (even to the point of physical punishment) with a child who is set to be the future ruler of my country, I very much doubt I could act even remotely close to how she does, like in part because I can't really act like that in general, but also because I'd be extremely worried about my future if I did so, because if that child does grow up to take over or someone who would sympathize with them and side against me in how they were treated then my days would decidedly be numbered, but she doesn't seem to be acting that way with the intention of driving Mary to her death because she knows that Richard will reward her upon taking power so it's like she hadn't at all thought about the consequences of acting this way towards the future queen (at that point in time)

Beyond that though, from what we are shown she just suddenly comes in and starts throwing away her things and making it clear that the life she was already struggling with is about to get a lot harder and more demanding (all while acting like the life she had before was some kind of cakewalk when it really wasn't), and then leaving the room and locking the door behind her

There's no check in that she doesn't need to go to the bathroom or that she actually has everything she needs and all that, and it's in complete disregard for her schedule since Dorothy comes in not long later for scheduled tea time

Now if I was a 6-10 year old girl and I'd just experienced all that only to then be locked in a room I can actually pretty easily see how she got to the point of deciding to try and escape out the window, and in fact if I had been in Ms. Peebles place I would have immediately been concerned about such a thing and taken precautions around it (and really locking a future queen in a room by herself would not be a smart move to me in general as what if someone tries to kill her? There's already been an assassination and an attempted assassination recently, so you'd think she'd have guards watching her like a hawk (also why doesn't she have guards in this scene? You'd think she'd have at least 1 on her at all times (like I'd say at least 4 if this was all happening in reality) and while guards can be instructed to ignore internal threats to their charge I very much doubt that would be a smart route here as it would be leave a trail of responsibility should something happen))

And then of course Ms. Peebles just continues to show her astounding incompetence by startling Mary into slipping (would have died if not for Dorothy) and when she is actually safe on the balcony, she immediately physically punishes her, and in such a way where it's not like she's even trying to teach a lesson (still wouldn't be acceptable behavior but would still probably be better than the fact she more or less makes it obvious that she's really doing this because of her own emotional response to the situation and not concerns about preventing her from doing it again)

Anyway...

Fuck Ms Peebles!

What a fucking dumbass, she deserves a bad ending in the future movies and I hope she gets it

MIU IRUMA’S TOTALLY FUCKING REAL INTERVIEW

🎥 A Self-Produced Documentary by Miu Iruma, Starring Miu Iruma, Directed by Miu Iruma, and Written by The Supreme Queen of Brains and Booty, Miu Iruma 🎬✨

[Setting: Classroom, Everyone is Forced to Watch]

The lights dim, and the projector screen flickers on.

The words "The Iruma Experience™" flash across the screen in bright neon letters, followed by a dramatic slow-motion montage of Miu posing with her inventions—all while a very obvious, over-the-top heavy metal track plays in the background.

The camera zooms in on Miu, sitting on a chair, goggles on, arms crossed, looking extremely pleased with herself.

Then—

A DEEP, MANLY VOICE BEGINS SPEAKING

Interviewer: "LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, TODAY WE HAVE A HISTORIC FUCKING INTERVIEW WITH THE GREATEST GENIUS KNOWN TO MANKIND, THE ULTIMATE INVENTOR, THE GODDESS OF INTELLIGENCE, OWNER OF THE WORLD’S FINEST RACK, AND BEST IN THE SACK—MIU IRUMA!"

Miu dramatically nods, adjusting her goggles.

QUESTION 1

Interviewer: "Miu, what is it like to be so much more intelligent than your classmates, who, let’s be honest, are barely functioning organisms?"

Miu Iruma: "OH-HO-HO! FANTASTIC FUCKIN’ QUESTION, MR. TOTALLY HUNK INTERVIEWER! I swear, I’m basically a once-in-a-generation supergenius trapped in a world of slack-jawed idiots!, lemme tell ya! Every morning, I wake up, look in the mirror, and think, ‘Wow, these dumbass plebs would literally be drowning in their own drool without me around!’ It’s a tough job being this smart AND this hot, but SOMEONE’S gotta do it!"

[Classroom Reactions]:

[Kaede]: "Oh god, this is going to last an hour, isn’t it?"

[Shuichi]: "I can’t believe we’re being forced to watch this."

[Kokichi]: "PFFT—This is the best thing I’ve ever seen! Miu, you should do interviews every day!"

QUESTION 2

Interviewer: "Miu, everyone in this school is obviously madly in love with you. Tell us, what is it like being a beacon of beauty and brains, the whole package rolled into one… some might even say, the Ultimate Bombshell?"

Miu tilts her head dramatically, sighing like a burdened goddess.

Miu Iruma: "Ohhh, interviewer, ya get me! FINALLY, someone acknowledges my daily struggles! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW DAMN HARD IT IS BEING THIS PERFECT?! Almost as HARD as these horny little shits I catch staring at me CONSTANTLY!"

Interviewer: "Even Shuichi Saihara?"

Miu Iruma: "E—FUCKING—SPECIALLY Shuichi Saihara! I’ve seen the way he looks at me—ALL LONGING AND FULL OF FUCKING DESIRE."

[Shuichi (offscreen)]: "WHAT?! NO, I DON’T!"

[Miu (pauses video, points at Shuichi]: "DENIAL IS THE FIRST FUCKING STAGE, SAIHARA! JUST CONFESS ALREADY!"

[Kaede]: "Miu, get back to the video!"

[Miu]: "TCH. FINE. BUT WE'RE NOT DROPPIN' THIS CONVERSATION, DETECTIVE SIMP-HARA!"

She presses play, and the video continues.

QUESTION 3

Interviewer: "Miu, as the most intelligent being on the planet, who would you say is the DUMBEST dipshit among your class?"

Miu taps her chin, dramatically pondering.

Miu Iruma: "Hmmm… SO MANY OPTIONS. There’s Kaito ‘LAME-INARY OF THE STARS’, who thinks you can punch your way out of a physics problem."

[Kaito]:"Hey?! The hell kinda title is that?!"

Miu Iruma: "There’s TENCROTCH, who acts like touching a guy would set her on fucking fire."

[Tenko]:"WELL, CAN YOU BLAME ME?! SETTING PEOPLE ON FIRE SOUNDS LIKE EXACTLY THE KIND OF THING A DEGENERATE MALE WOULD DO!"

Miu Iruma: "But if I had to pick the TRUE, UNDISPUTED KING OF DUMBASSES…"

She leans forward, grinning.

Miu Iruma: "KAEEEDE! OR SHOULD I SAY—BAKAMATSU! AND YOU WANNA KNOW WHY THAT'S HER NAME?! CUZ SHE'S A FUCKING DUMBASS!"

[Kaede (offscreen)]: "…Excuse me?!"

Interviewer: "Miu, please, do enlighten us. Hearing Kaediot get roasted is just too damn entertaining."

Miu Iruma: "OH-HO-HO, HAPPILY! BAKAMATSU’S WHOLE THING IS ‘I PLAY THE PIANO’—LIKE, WHOOP-DEE-FUCKIN’-DOO! BUT WHAT DOES THAT DO IN A REAL CRISIS?! HUH?! YOU THINK YOU'RE GONNA POUND OUT A CHOPIN PIECE AND MAGICALLY FIX EVERYTHING?!"

[Kaede]: "W-WHAT THE HELL, MIU?! MUSIC CAN BE REALLY POWERFUL!"

[Miu]: "OH YEAH?! WHEN SHIT HITS THE FAN, YOU THINK BUSTING OUT A SONATA’S GONNA SAVE YOUR ASS?! ‘OH NO, A DISASTER! QUICK, SOMEONE PLAY ME A LITTLE FUCKIN’ MOZART!’"

[Kaede]: "I—IT CAN BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER!"

[Miu]: "SO CAN FREE FOOD, BUT YOU DON’T SEE ME HAULIN’ AROUND A BUFFET TABLE LIKE IT’S A PERSONALITY TRAIT!"

[Kaede]: "THAT’S NOT THE SAME THING AT ALL!"

[Miu]: "YOU CAN’T EAT A GODDAMN SONATA, BAKAMATSU!"

[Kaede]: "WHY DO YOU KEEP BRINGING UP FOOD?! THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS!"

[Miu]: "CUZ I’M SMARTER THAN YOU, THAT’S WHY!"

[Kaede]: "I—I HATE THAT I CAN’T ARGUE WITH THAT!"

[Miu]: "DAMN RIGHT, BAKAMATSU! YOU EARNED THAT NAME FOR A FUCKIN’ REASON!"

QUESTION 4

Interviewer: "Miu, your greatness is undeniable, and surely this is the best damn interview of all time—"

[Rantaro (offscreen)]: "Okay, wait. Pause." [Miu]: "THE HELL DO YOU WANT GREEN BEAN, THIS IS THE BEST PART?!"

[Rantaro]: "Nobody talks like that. There is absolutely no way a real person interviewed you."

[Shuichi]: "Yeah, I was thinking that for a while too. Who would actually sit down and ask Miu this many questions?"

[Kaito]: "Wait a second… Miu, is that YOU doing the voice?!"

[Miu]: "WHAT?! NO, SHUT UP!"

[Himiko]: "Nyeh… that's pretty low, Miu. Even for you."

[Miu]: "I—I—I HAVE A DEEP-VOICED INTERVIEWER FRIEND, OKAY?! Y-YOU JUST DON’T KNOW THEM! THEY GO TO ANOTHER FUCKING SCHOOL!"

[Kokichi]: "Ooooh, Miu, did your ‘interviewer friend’ just happen to have the exact same insufferable, delusional, attention-starved energy as you? What are the odds?!"

[Kaede]: "So, I’m the DUMBEST one here because I play the piano, and YOU are the GENIUS who made up an ENTIRE FAKE INTERVIEWER?!"

ARIADNE (JENNIFER SAINT) REVIEW

RATING: 5/10

FIND HERE

LIVE-BLOG

NOTE: i found live blogging this book very fun actually! i also wanted to thank you all so much for not spoiling the ending despite the many rants, i’m glad i got to experience that for myself. i did skip some chunks of the phaedra/hippolytus part due to personal triggers so you won’t find much about that in this review. @a-chaotic-dumbass here it is<3

TL;DR: i definitely did like jennifer saint’s actual writing style, though there were some issues with the actual pacing of the story. despite there not being any major inaccuracies, the small things did add up and did annoy me. my biggest issue with this book however are the characters.

SPOILERS UNDERCUT

WRITING (7/10)

I genuinely loved Saint’s style! She is definitely a great writer. There was a perfect balance between simplicity and imagery; some nice quotes but no purple prose and most importantly no dramatic descriptions of feet, which i really enjoyed. I usually don’t enjoy multi-pov that much and it was a bit random getting Phaedra’s POV at times but Saint definitely knows how to give each of her characters a distinct voice, so I actually enjoyed it! I also very much like that she gave Phaedra what seemed to be PPD—it’s always great to get some good representation of such things. Despite what I say about the characters later on, they do all seem to experience some form of character arc which is always a good sign.

The pacing threw me off a little, partially because she tried to fit such a large and versatile myth into one book and partially because of the large chunks of exposition. I honestly skimmed over Theseus’ narration of his previous adventures… I understand that the story has to make sense to non-myth fans, but with her great writing I would have hoped she could’ve found a more elegant way to weave that in. Like I said, the cramming of such a huge myth into a single book resulted in her having to go extremely off-topic to finish story lines. It would’ve been better if done implicitly (e.g. the Icarus myth). Similarly, for about a hundred pages in the book, nothing happened. Different amounts of time passed in each POV chapter which was very confusing, but at the same time there isn’t much you can do about that. I was however disappointed when I got five years of Phaedra’s POV and then a single (bad) exposition chapter from Ariadne in a book that is literally named after her. Honestly, Part 3 was more Phaedra’s book than it was Ariadne’s.

I also wasn’t a huge fan of the 1st person but that’s just a personal nitpick. There were some off lines or some incongruities, but they weren’t too bad overall.

ACCURACY (5/10)

Story-wise, there no big inaccuracies other than the ending, which I absolutely hated, it was just so stupid and unnecessary. In fact, I’m not going to speak about it at all. The way she added the Phaedra and Theseus storyline (though not entirely accurate) was smart and helped story progression, so I’ll consider that a bonus point. The fact that they waited for Phaedra to turn 18 to marry is obviously for modern readers but I can appreciate that nonetheless. I definitely did enjoy the little sprinkles of myths here and there, especially the sentences that are literally just implications (e.g. a King holding up the sky for his people). Looking for those made reading really fun. The fact that she drew parallels made everything so much better. I can also appreciate the fact that she got the timeline correct, only referencing women that came before Ariadne and not after. She does however mention Theseus’ trip to the underworld, conveniently ignoring the fact that this happened long after the Minotaur fiasco (and that Theseus’ ass literally got ripped off). It just serves to make Theseus look bad, but more on that later.

The fact that Phaedra spent most of the book in Athens makes things tricky considering how misogynistic the polish is and none of the power she had there made sense. Reasonably, she wouldn’t be allowed to sit in a single council, let alone share her thoughts and much less conduct entire festivals with women from surrounding cities. Saint tries to point out how unlikely this is and considering it’s a feminist book, things like this are hard to leave out, so there isn’t much she can do. I just don’t like feminist retellings and I still think they don’t work.

I found it a little silly for the characters (who know nothing other than the greek mythology world) to be describing the myths to other characters, as well as Pasiphae translating Asterion’s name to Ariadne. Considering (ancient) Greek is her mother’s tongue, she would’ve probably known the word for star—it would’ve worked so much better if she’d drawn that connection for herself in her personal monologue. Similarly, she mentions a “foetus” at some point, which is a Latin word that came long after any of the described events. Simply saying ‘baby’ (the literal translation) would’ve made so much more sense, but alas.

The Medusa myth is obviously important to the story, especially given the ending (sigh). First of all, this was one of those instances with bad exposition. More importantly though, Saint uses Ovid’s iteration of the Medusa story which is a) misleading and b) also comes years after the events. I honestly love Ovid but using his version of the myth in a book that might very well be read by people that don’t know the original sets the wrong impression. On top of that, the original isn’t feminist at all. It’s anything but. Knowing that as a reader takes away the entire idea Saint was going for. I don’t even know what kind of symbolism Saint was going for by having Ariadne get petrified. All of this just to put Perseus in a bad light, which is unfair considering Perseus is probably the most humble hero there ever was.

This brings me to … Hera. I’m not even going to say much about because a) I don’t have the energy and b) this happens to her in every adaption so I’m not even surprised. You can find different antagonists for your feminist retellings than women, especially divine women, ESPECIALLY women who are victims in their own stories. Phaedra calls Artemis ‘cold and bloodless’ because she’s sworn an oath of chasitity, which … I get that you’re getting rejected but smells like aphobia to me? That just didn’t sit right with me. Life is not meaningless because you don’t love. Additionally, Phaedra goes on about how Artemis might have killed Ariadne for not remaining a virgin. There are a couple of things that annoy me about this such as a) if Artemis has this role in this world, why would Theseus suggest that Artemis killed her?? and b) Artemis was considered responsible for all unanswered female deaths! She doesn’t go around punishing girls that have extramarital sex! It’s simply not that big of a deal.

CHARACTERS (2/10)

Ariadne wasn’t too spectacular or memorable as a main character, but she didn’t really annoy me either. There were some moments where the plot or suspense of the story relied on her being completely stupid which had me screaming at the page. Most of this gets resolved through character developments and was actually set pretty well using foreshadowing e.g. the conversation with Theseus. The foreshadowing is there while also keeping Ariadne’s perspective in mind. Regarding the dancing… I made a huge fuss about it when live-blogging (i still find it funny don’t mind me) but now I actually like it? I was having a brain fart moment at the time and completely forgot her connection to Dionysos. It was really clever to introduce that from the beginning and I honestly wish that she had carried that on. I also wish her necklace would’ve gotten some more mentions, but it just got forgotten. It’s especially important considering Ariadne considered committing suicide with it.

I didn’t like the fact that Ariadne had no revolutionary thoughts whatsoever until Theseus shows up and then as soon as this hot hunk shows up, she’s all for killing her brother. The same brother she didn’t want to get locked up. Although there was some decent character development I did find her last choice to reason with Perseus a bit sudden. All of that just happened very fast.

Minos being a cruel and merciless ass doesn’t sit right with me anyway and the fact that Saint takes away his motivation to be that way (aka. his love and grief over his son) just makes it so much worse, I already said this in an ask, but she just shot herself in the foot with that. It would’ve made for such a great antagonist personality/motivation instead we have All Men Are Bad. She could’ve even made a point of him caring more for his dead son than his alive daughters!

As the number one Theseus hater, I would usually be the last person to defend him, but for some reason this portrayal felt really inauthentic. Personally, I don’t think Theseus was being malicious when leaving Ariadne behind, it’s just a thing he had to do. He’s not an evil mastermind, he’s just some shitty guy. This is all minor because I’m just suggesting a different type of evil, but I don’t know.

As for Dionysos… I honestly don’t know how I feel about him. Ariadne is way too subjective and unreliable for me to be able to make a proper assumption about him so I just won’t.

The only characters I really did enjoy from start to finish were Daedalus, Pasiphae and Deucalion, all of which barely got any screen time. In fact, my only complaint regarding Pasiphae is that I wished she had more screen time. I loved every moment I got to read about her.
