This post will contain spoilers for the end of The storm of echoes, the 4th book in the mirror visitor series. So please, don't read if you haven't finished it!

I know that book 4 will soon be released in English, so many readers will be able to discover the ending that French readers had 2 years to process (and I think that the book has already been published in Italian and a few other languages).

And many people will probably be disappointed. So I'd like to give Christelle Dabos' point of view, for those who haven't heard it, and then my point of view. 

First, I'd like to remind to some people that Christelle Dabos is allowed to do what she wants with her books and characters, and insulting her on social medias like some French people did is a shitty thing to do. It won't give you another ending 🙃

Then, in a few interviews in French, she explained her choice for this ending, and she knew it wouldn't be popular. So I'd like to remind you that she's someone who got into writing thanks to fanfiction (that could make another great analysis of her works!). She knows what it's like to use someone else's charcters to create your own stories. She knows what it feels like to wait for years to get the last book of a series, and reach the last chapter to read what the author decided would happen to your favorite characters, and how readers will take canon and throw it aside to write their own ending. She knows what it's like to interact with other readers and spend hours discussing theories. She made friends through fanfiction. Some of the people who beta-read the mirror visitor books are people she met while writing fanfic (and the people who encouraged her to submit her first book to Gallimard's competition are people she met thanks to fanfic). The artist that made most of the drawings on her website is a person she met thanks to fanfiction. The Mirror visitor books kinda exist because of fanfiction. She knows what it's like to be involved in a book, to do more than just read it and leave it on your shelf after that. 

And she said that she choose this ending as a gift for us, readers. She knew that no matter the ending, some people would be disappointed. With this end, she's giving us an empty box as a gift, like Farouk used to do. We can do what we want with that. Maybe you'll decide that they find each other right away. Maybe you'll decide that it takes them months or years to find each other, and they'll have to deal with trauma. Maybe by some twist, they'll be able to have children. Or maybe they won't. Maybe they'll decide that they don't want kids and babysitting Victoire is enough for them. Maybe they'll visit all the Arches, maybe they'll settle in Anima and open a bookshop. 

She said that she won't write another mirror visitor book, she won't come back to this universe (She's working on other books now). But she wants the readers to keep it alive, in our own way. She interacts a lot with readers (there are a lot of meetings with her on discord for example, she gives interviews to booktubers...), she answers our questions, but she said that what happens to all these characters after the last chapter is for us to decide. 

And personally, it took me some time to accept that. I was devastated and mad after I finished the fourth book. But now, I love it. Because the gift worked. I couldn't leave this universe, and I had to imagine what would happen to them. And I wrote thousands of words to do that. In my version, they're happy together and Thorn makes hot chocolate for Ophélie. For some people, they have a child together, for others they solve new mysteries. Each fanfic set after the fourth book is a new ending and you can choose which ones you accept as your own canon. 

So obviously, you're allowed to dislike the end. I hated it at first as well. But my advice is to go read a few fanfictions. Look at all the art people made. And maybe, after some time, re-read the books. Now that I took some time to process it, I'm not even sure if this is an open ending. They're both mirror visitors. Ophélie went through a mirror to look for Thorn. And that little sentence "somewhat more than that, even" (or whatever the exact translation used in English is), it doesn't feel like an open ending to me, at least not anymore.

I’m glad I found a niche group of people who read manga critically. istg I cannot stand the people that say shit like “it’s downplaying Real Pedophilia to say that an 18 dating a 30 is bad” or “it’s legal in japan and japan is the best country in the world you’re racist against japanese ppl if you critize this” weeabos are some of the worst people out there fr. There’s also been a weird idealization of asian fandom for not being “antis” like western fandom and as a half-japanese woman I haate it

It goes hand in hand with fetishization and racism.

I swear the only two takes on anime or even Japanese media more broadly is "It's all morally poor and also intellectual and great" or "It's morally degenerate, anime is incapable of showing healthy or progressive content. All anime is vapid and for horny teenage boys and fetishizers." Both feel infantalizing, like offering praise where it has absolutely not been earned but also acting like Japan is too... immature (?) to be progressive, like it's incapable of not being fucked up.

ANd it's like... no... it's olike any other media industry where it's... a solidly mixed bag. We don't have to act weird about this. Some content is good, some content is bad, some content is mad with good intentions (and ends up good OR bad) and some is made iwth bad intentions (and ends up good OR bad)... just like... any other media.

Not even getting into the sort of projection thta pretends anime/manga is representative of all Japanese media or all of Japanese culture. It's just.... very narrow minded.

I try to not speak on these broader issues too much because I am white and have never even been in Japan but like... I see some posts and I just have to side eye. Like talking about ANY form of media with absolute terms is fucking weird. Like it's not even abou tniche genres or specific "tropes," lik eto say an entire MEDIUM is X or Y is fucking weird.

ANime is just... japanese animation.

Imagine people talking about American graphic novels and comics with the type of language they use for anime/manga nad it's weird. Like... no attempts to amend language to tlk about specific issues or contexts, just... "All of Japanese animation is X" like HELLO? It's existed for decades, you've watched 3 shows on crunchyroll, clearly what you're saying is without merit

Praise OR condemnation for an entire medium is weird

🌃expressions part 8🌃

this post is about useful expressions for when you're coming to finland as a tourist! many books teach these expressions in kirjakieli, but some of them are used more in teitittely or puhekieliform.

puhekieli (spoken) kirjakieli (formal) teitittely (honorific)

anteeksi, osaatteko auttaa? - sorry, could you help? (anteeksi, osaatko auttaa?)

mä yritän löytää [paikan] - i'm trying to find [place] (minä yritän löytää [paikan])

oliks teillä särkee tätä? (be careful to pronounce särkee as a verb) - do you have money to change this note to smaller pieces? (onko teillä rahaa, jotta voisin särkeä tämän?)

olisiko teillä kymppiä? - do you have 10 euro for me? (olisiko sinulla kymppiä?)

onko jollain yksykskaks-sovellusta? - does someone here have the 112-app? (culture note: the 112-app is an emergency call app. when you call through it, your location will be sent to the first responder automatically)

onks viimenen metro menny jo? - has the last metro gone already? (onko viimeinen metro mennyt jo?)

tell me about the youtube chanel and official vigilante twitter

everyone except gretchen uses their account to talk about the band. gretchen actually knows how to curate a social media page and posts a lot about social justice, along with dunking on the animator and Jock Activities. 

(she also has an official mourning warp instagram. you know how every jock has the same insta page except tailored to what they do? yeah.)

dont ask me about vigilante stan twitter. 

wait i lied earlier. kincain technically only posts about the band but part of that is “getting into arguments with people who misgender them” (them being Any Of Them), “getting into arguments with people who call déjà an interpretive dancer or just a dancer” (fae’s neither of those things, fae signs the song lyrics. if youve never seen someone interpret a song before you should because it’s gorgeous.), “yelling at people who make fun of oliks body”, “being disgusted at people who write rpf of them” (them being any vigilante), and generally being righteously angry at most of their fanbase. 

still dont ask me about vigilante stan twitter. 

anyways. 

gonna do a name reveal for Immune To Magic since its his youtube channel and nobody seems to be interested in him. his name is scott.

so like i said. his youtube channel is a disinformation campaign. most of his content is bullshit, some of it is facts designed to look like bullshit, and some of it is true. 

he posts shit like “hamlin and bismuth—forbidden romance??” and “déjà vu: in love with the thirteenth animus” and “are bismuth and the thirteenth animus high school sweethearts?” (that ones true actually) and “the angel controversy”. romance headlines are easiest to come up with. he also has a video titled “more than just a pretty face” thats an interview w olik, and that, along w the fact that hes one of the only people that can get an interview w the band (its because he knows asl. theres literally no other reason.) means that most vigilante fans are subscribed to him whether they like it or not. 

he also has a video linking olik and the animator as siblings. the supporting evidence for this theory is “well if you assume the thirteenth animus is actually the missing olik animus, who is the thirteenth child of the animus family, AND you assume the animator is an animus based on his ability to imbue things with false souls, which falls in line with animus family magic, then theyre totally siblings. in fact, the animator was probably the one that kidnapped olik animus in the first place!”

(he wasnt.)

(they are siblings though.)

literally hes the most unpopular popular youtuber ever. he looks at people commenting how stupid his videos are and is filled with glee. 

okay this is as much as i can elaborate on his channel and you’re probably funnier than me but im ending this off by saying he isn’t actually ableist or racist or transphobic or antisemitic in his videos. this is the other reason the band (called the dead & the drowned) will be interviewed by him.
