Silly sketches I did like a week ago.
Idk but the way they’re framing Dark Cacao rn with the whole “a bunch of people broke in tried to my steal my (fake) treasure and called me a fake immortal” backstory for Mystic Flour combined with the whole yin/yang symbolism in that one frame from the trailer and the fact that she still seems to want what’s best for cookiekind added onto the fact that Dark Choco (a character about second chances and forgiveness) is showing up in BY book 4…. Idk makes me think that maybe she’s getting redeemed or something.
Not a serious theory or anything, I’m totally wrong but it’s fun to think about. The beast updates actually being about the 5 heroes Friendship is Magic-ing their way into helping the beasts like come to terms with their situation and learn to coexist with the two halves of their soul jam.
Maybe that could be what the “Awakened” states are- becoming the whole soul jam light thingy. Or maybe just accepting their place as a half. Like I said, not a serious prediction it’s just fun to think about.

tbh it sucks so much we're limited by language barriers and other stuff. there are so many things and themes i'd like to mention, but only a bunch of people will understand. if a classic is written in a language different from english it's a hassle to get people from other counties to read it. sometimes it's translated without a care, sloppily, from a language that wasn't even the original one. sometimes it isn't even translated at all, left in obscurity

Sometimes I just really like to think about post 4-5 and Shinon trying to comfort Janaff after the battle because of how horrifying it was for the laguz. Him thinking it wouldn't be enough anyway bc he's a beorc so his comfort is meaningless bc he can't rly understand what Janaff or any laguz feels about that situation, but Janaff knows that coming from Shinon it doesn't matter if he can ever understand it or not bc it's genuine. If he didn't care or wasn't worried about Janaff, he wouldn't even bother. I like to think that for Janaff that would mean more by itself than whether or not Shinon could actually understand and relate to horrors like that.

Thinking about Greater Boston further and like, I like that it is so keen to show that you can change for the better, you can make better choices - for yourself, for others, but also it's messy and you're human and maybe it won't happen everytime, or it won't be linear, or you'll find new justifications for yourself not to choose anything different. Maybe it won't change the rest of your bad choices. Maybe it'll have an impact only for you and not everybody else, or for everybody else but it's too late for you.
There's a contrast here between people who are willing to learn and shift and change and the people who won't/refuse to, sure, Philippe being slowly swayed for example VS Emily who keeps going at any and every opportunity, Michael who's willing to move forwards VS Montgomery who inevitably flees responsability, but it's also the little things like. The coworkers of Third Sight Media, eternal commentators of what's going on, bickering and gossiping and who keeps doubling down on their own right to do so, who refuse to question themselves even as they complain and grumble that things aren't better for them.
It's so human and it gets frustrating but it also shows you like, all the different flavours of what it's like, to be human. Even when you're trying, actively trying to change and be better and the best version of yourself, you stumble or you can hurt others: willingly or not. Gemma is such a perfect exemple of this - she keeps building up to herself, keeps trying to be good, but she still chooses to keep Leon from her family, after all her character-arcs, in S4, and you're like "oh my GOD, GEMMA, fuck SAKE" but that's how it is.
It also shows that like, just because you're generally good doesn't mean you cannot go wrong. Although i still think the core message is so very hopeful and saying, but just because you went wrong doesn't mean you can't do good at some point. It's literally never too late to start doing something good. Yes, it might not change your entire life, it might not make the people you hurt before consider you any different, but you can still do good and be good for other people. Oliver, at the very end, did good. Philippe, at the most critical moment, choose to do a good thing. And it mattered.
Like Michael said, one can be the villain in someone's story and the hero for somebody else. Maybe the good doesn't erase all the bad, but it's still better than no good at all. It still impacted people.
just. fuck. greater boston man.

Nah but like I love my sister to death but like... one of the reasons I just... dont feel like people wanna hear what I have to say or why it feels like it's a hard obstacle for me to imagine talking to someone about my day is that. It's like if I talk about what I did at the dinner table. She immediately turns it into a problem solving mode. And starts saying well this is why you need to get back in school and get your bachelor's. Have you called about registration. I will look up who to talk to about financial aid right now and like fucking CHRIST I'm not looking for a complete lecture on going to college (which also makes me feel like a loser and a disappointment) just because I did a little vent about an annoying thing that happened at work, I should just not talk about work at all. And also, it's like you really didn't listen to what I was actually saying. So.
