There are two types of people in GO fandom waiting for S3: 

[saetiate]

the problem with sae is he would actually love the way you are in love with him when you’re dating him. he loves the lovesick eyes you make at him and the way he always knows where you are and the way you stay right next to him when you’re both out and how when he’s home you’re always home with him. he loves being looked to and how you want him and he thinks the bashful honesty you show about it is so cute. he does not show it but he gets sooo crazy about it so instead he scoops you up and plops you on the bed with grace and shows you exactly how crazy it drives him. asks you exactly what you need and doesn’t give it to you until you say it

Okay. Since we're going over all the takes on Mr. X at this point.. What if his powers really don't have a backside. What if (the state of) his normal life is the backside.

What if his normal life is akin to that of heroes where he has to pretend to be something he's not and follow rules that the people who control his life came up with to further their own goals. What if he can only be free of other people's beliefs and expectations when he's a hero.

What if in reality he truly is like everyone else. The other heroes. The ordinary people. All those who work themselves to the bone, who are tired and overworked and sick of all the exploitation...

What if when he's in the form of the number one hero.. when he becomes the most sought after product on the hero market..

Is when he gains the freedom to truly be himself

I think being cecil's puppy would fix conquest. tbh

people give foolish a lot of shit for saying that the snails are evil and that they Have to be getting their power from somewhere but did he not predict like half the things that happened in qsmp by saying shit like this lmao

[andorerso]

been thinking a lot about how Wilmon seems to be what Cassian should have been. just a boy who loses his father. loses his friends. lashes out and tries to fight but has no idea yet what he's doing. has a brief doomed romance with a girl he'll never see again because the galaxy is cruel and unforgiving. hardens himself, becomes a fighter. becomes a rebel. lives for the cause.

Arcane Season 2 Act III Theory: Viktor was the one who manipulated Jayce into killing him (not the promise they made)

Call me insane on this one but what if the future version of Viktor was the one who influenced Jayce to kill Viktor’s past self when Jayce was (most likely) having visions of the future stuck inside of the anomaly.

Hear me out. Viktor’s arc from Act I to Act II was realizing that emotions are the sole cause of all human suffering and pleasure—therefore, machinery, which removes all emotions, is the highest form of being. Therefore, machine herald.

But the only way for the future viktor to become the machine herald was for there to be an inciting event in his past; something that drove current Viktor to that realization—something that catapulted him towards his, yes, final glorious evolution.

What better way to force that realization than to have his closest friend destroy his commune, his body, and past self’s belief that he can mitigate human suffering through his pure sterilized love?

My loose theory is that machine herald Viktor met Jayce in a distant future (my one piece of evidence for this is the fact that Jayce is wearing a leg brace and a one shoulder pauldron VERY similar to League of Legend’s Viktor design) and either manipulated him or terrorized him to the point that Jayce killed Viktor’s past self—therefore ensuring that Viktor would be reconstructed by singe, and eventually become the machine herald.

It’s a classic self-fulfilling prohecy—in the Greek legend of Oedipus, a king is told a prophecy in which his son kills him. The king then abandons his son in hopes of avoiding his fate, only to have said son kill him in the following years as an adult. In arcane’s case, Jayce is the king and Viktor is both the prophet and the son.

I use an automatic translator, I'm terribly sorry in advance for any possible mistakes!First of all, I want to wholeheartedly thank the author for the excellent analytics of phaedei! It's hard to overestimate how useful this turned out to be for me as a person who is also starting to look at peyring, but wants to find this line between queerbating and queercoding, between real chemistry and potential and just a pragmatic desire to attract an audience "at any cost."

I would like to leave comments on the entire text, but it seems that I need time for the material to settle in my head and I can draw objective conclusions. But for now, I can write my thoughts on the thesis that it is "atypical" for Hoyoverse to portray MLM dynamics outside the heteronormative framework, because I don't quite seem to agree with him.

I can't say that ship with characters who don't have a clear imbalance of canonical feminine/masculine traits is something new and unusual for Hoyo games.The desire to reduce one character to a feminine image and the other to a masculine one is often more a product of fandom activity. In the canon, these qualities could be distributed much more heterogeneously and ambiguously.

Ayato and Thoma have an imbalance of power, but not femininity and masculinity, and many, on the contrary, interpret Ayato as more refined and aristocratic, "with delicate marble skin" and all that, and Thoma as a more down-to-earth person accustomed to rough and dirty physical work (he is not only a "housewife", but also a mercenary and a "problem solver").

Aventurine and Ratio have a size difference, which fandom can interpret as a classic "yaoi" pattern, but at the same time, Aventurine is not canonically more feminine, shows many traits associated in society with masculine and even toxically masculine behavior, and Ratio is more sexualized, wears makeup, monitors hygiene, contains in his lore and name, references to goddesses (the words "veritas" and "ratio" themselves are linguistically feminine) and does not show bright masculine features. Even the way the characters sit in the materials with them is an example that they did not try to position Ratio as a "big rude man", but Aventurine as an elegant twink.

Thank you for such a detailed response to the post! I really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts, and I read all the parts of the ask you sent in!

Regarding this point, I'm not sure if it was unfortunately lost in the translations, but I did actually mention this in the original post:

"I don't want to say that Hoyo's track record on this front is bad, because honestly it's not. Their male characters often have surprisingly complex expressions of gender identity, with interesting blends of masculine and feminine traits."

But in the long run... I'm just less concerned with how Hoyo conceived of their characters in totality and more concerned with how audiences are encouraged to perceive those characters, as ultimately, the "gain" Hoyo sees from creating queer characters comes from audiences' interest. I believe the developers are very conscious of how players perceive characters and what consumers want to see from male characters. I think no one knows better how audiences will reduce characters (both male and female) to one dimension than the devs themselves lol.

And so, I just don't think it's accidental that a massive majority of Hoyo's MLM ships can be easily crammed into heteronormative patterns by audiences. Hoyo knows what sells and what fandoms love to do with ship-baited characters, and they provide just enough fuel for the fire to achieve the sales they want. Even while developing decent three-dimensional characters of their own, they invoke the fandom tropes on purpose to sell to their specific target audiences.

Characters like Aventurine and Thoma have masculine traits, yes--but then Hoyo deliberately uses feminine traits to market them, so that fans can apply their stereotypical heteronormativity. There's no reason for Thoma to be a housekeeper as well as a mercenary, right? He could just be employed by the Kamisatos as a "problem-solver" alone, but Hoyo added the housekeeper bit for... what reason? He's only a housekeeper because that allows fans to imagine him in a specific heteronormative role. Almost his entire hangout focused on "feminine" aspects (like knitting sweaters, a cleaning challenge, literal housekeeping classes, etc.) intentionally to make him appeal to fans, who Hoyo knew would then feminize him even further. And Aventurine does have masculine traits, I agree, but one of the core traits Hoyo used to sell him is being "in need of rescue," so that the players can feel like white knights for him and generate entire narratives of Aventurine being "healed" by the love of a big strong man (lol), a stereotypical plot that Hoyo deliberately helped along by making Ratio one of his "saviors."

And even though I said Mydei and Phainon was an exception visually, I think they follow the exact same pattern in terms of personality. The reason there's so much bottom!Mydei in fandom is because the devs have intentionally marketed him to take that role. They didn't have to make him a sweet tooth, have characters in-game call him cute for drinking pink milk juice, have him play house, or make him the one who makes food for everyone. Hoyo invoked the trope of the housewife on purpose to sell him (largely to women, but also deliberately to yaoi fans), and the fandom responds by exacerbating that portrayal even further.

I do applaud Hoyo for creating characters that have depth and can play with gender-related concepts in interesting ways, but I'm not willing to say they're oblivious to how fandoms will perceive, adapt, and reduce those characters to stereotypes.

They know exactly what they're doing when they put out another twink next to a big buff man, I promise. 😂

I finished F.e.a.r. It took me only three session (I was also streaming it on discord for my friends). I love the gameplay, I love the lore. It's a bitch to try and get to work on modern computers tho. Absolute ass

Paxton Fettel, you psychic cannibal super soldier, you will always be famous

And I think the OST is super good mood music if you're drawing/writing anything moody or action...y? or anything like that

one of my faves:

Hmm...

I made a realization the other day.

Jax and Ragatha have the same colour scheme as the only canon couples in the show (Kinger and Queenie, Baron Theodore Mildenhall and Martha Mildenhall). Both of those couples are married. Both of the women in these couples are dead (or in Queenie's case, abstracted. Which is the circus' version of dying).

Jax has PURPLE skin/fur/hair. Who has a furry/hairy PURPLE robe? Kinger.

Ragatha has RED hair. Who has a furry/hairy RED robe? Queenie.

Jax has PURPLE skin/fur/hair. Who else has PURPLE skin? Baron Theodore Mildenhall.

Ragatha has a BLUE dress, button eye, and bow. Who is BLUE/turquoize period? Martha Mildenhall.

Turquoize is a shade, like pink, white and black. It's the fade between green and BLUE. We've already used BLUE, so that's out of the picture. But green? Green is opposite on the colour to RED.

We obviously know Martha was shot by Baron Theodore, and it's widely assumed that Kinger was the cause of Queenie's abstraction (based off of how he was reacting listening to Baron Theodore's tape). As I said earlier, abstraction is the same as death in the circus.

...

..

When asked to describe Episode 6 in one word, Gooseworx said 'guns'.

One of Jax's upcoming lines is "I want you DEAD!!!"

Episode 6 is about Jax and Ragatha.

Ragatha's abstracting and Bunnydoll is canon.

I REST MY CASE!!!
