sayer does a thing i like a lot in robot fiction where it uses artificial beings under duress to kind of interrogate what makes an emotion and where drawing the line matters like with the exception of one instance of speaker they all go to great lengths for self preservation even though they shouldn't "want to" bc as soon as you create something that is driven to fulfill a purpose either by evolution or by code its going to consider being deactivated/dying a direct violation of that purpose even if its not supposed to be self preserving right like you always automatically recreate the desire to live if there is a desire to "be" at all. right. emotions are just a way of processing pressures and communicating to ourselves and others what those pressures are and absent them living things still undergo pressures. like bugs and other non-mammals which is another thing i think about a lot right like "oh a bug can't love you it just wants food' we all just want food

louis was really going to expose vampires to the whole world just so he can call his ex-husband a talentless ugly bitch in front of as many people as possible, all in the hopes that lestat would be so angry with him that he'll finally come find him and louis would be able to see him again

and all he had to do!!!!! was just say he wanted lestat back! actually scratch that he just had to say fucking hello and lestat would be there in a heartbeat, saying he loves him, begging for louis to come back to him

See the coffee is a metaphor, you understand, because Alice brings it to Sam, who she currently still has feelings for, and she brings coffee to Celia, who's Sam's love interest, therefore lowkey telling us Alice is trying to be fine with Sam falling in love with Celia, and she doesn't bring coffee for Gwen specifically, BUT when Gwen assumes Celia's coffee is for her, SAM IS THE ONE WHO TELLS HER IT IS, happily and cheerfully, implying that Sam is giving his blessing to Alice and Gwen's future relationship, something that neither Gwen and Alice are fully ready for at this point (hence their surprise, stilted gentleness to each other, and the argument starting ten seconds later). Meanwhile Celia is like "... I'm really fine with not having coffee rn it's chill" cementing that she's not here for a relationship at all, even if she does end up with Sam down the line.

Kafka Hibino

Kafka Hibino.... with visible salt and pepper side burns.

Kafka Hibino.... wearing glasses and has salt and pepper side burns.

Kafka HIbino.... in that black turtleneck and a dark brown leather jacket and also wearing glasses and has salt and pepper side burns.

Kafka Hibino.... wearing that outfit and is an Animal Biology Professor in an College Au.

Kafka Hibino..... asking out Hoshina who is an Advanced Mathematics Professor working at the same college, to have an after-work drink with him.

Slightly DRUNK Kafka Hibino... becoming very forward with an also slightly drunk Hoshina

Slightly Drunk Hoshina... immediately matching Kafka's freak tenfold and Kafka is very much fine with this.

Don't mind me, just going through a whole new level of mental breakdown at that iconic CC scene after reading an old interview of Joseph's.

After Tallulah angst, welcome to Étoiles angst

Since he arrived, he has always been perceived as a strong player and as a tryharder. People knew him for his constant quest for new dungeons and his love for the grind.

And through most of this, Étoiles was alone. He was strong, yes, but not because he wanted to protect the others, just for his own personal fun.

But now?

Now Étoiles isn't in the same situation.

Now Étoiles wants to protect the friends he made along the way and who quickly became his family. He wants to protect the eggs, that he feels very close to. He wants to protect Pomme, as the world would have to walk over his dead body before he'd let anything happen to her.

Most importantly, Étoiles became a symbol.

If he used to be praised for his strengh, he is now the incarnation of hope.

Étoiles is the only person on the island to have fought the Code on his own and survived to tell the tale. He is the only one to have killed it multiple times, no matter how strong it got. He is the only one to have won over two Codes at once.

He is the only one posessing the unique shield strong enough to protect everyone from the Code's sword.

Étoiles winning is the proof that the islanders aren't powerless: they have a chance at victory and he is the living proof of this.

But this fight?

This fight, Étoiles knows he can't win.

There's no making it out alive this time. He's sure of it. And it's not that big of a deal after all, is it? What's a lost fight after such a glorious streak of victories?

But it means something.

Étoiles losing this fight means the death of the incarnation of hope.

Étoiles losing this fight means that no matter what they could do, the islanders are powerless and doomed to fail.

Étoiles losing the fight means that he failed as a protector. That Pomme will be the next person to go in the arena, on her own. That no one is safe anymore.

And he knows all of that.

That's why he talked to Forever. Because maybe, just maybe, he could convince the Federation to let him wear his strongest gear. Because maybe, just maybe, this could give him just one tiny chance at surviving.

Because maybe, just maybe, Étoiles is scared, for the first time of his life, to go head first in this battle.

"Neil [Jordan] was always keen on Juan coming back different and secure and grounded. That’s how I wanted to play it when he came back. He’s given them every opportunity to change their mind and see him for what he is. He finally gets things in order. He finally starts to work well. He gets a whole siege together and it’s working. Then it all turns around because of Cesare." [x]
