DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN | 1.09
Karen arrives.
#Daredevil Born Again#ddba spoilers#Frank Castle#Matt Murdock#Karen Page#Daredeviledit#Daredevil Spoilers#Kastle#Karedevil#Not Revolution#GIF set#Mine#This show ACTIVELY fights me in photoshop#And I had to move them closer together in that 5th one because they were trying to not in the same frame and it was annoying.#I can understand they had limited time - limited budget - but STILL this scene and#the one preceding it with Frank and Matt fighting together... could there not have been more of THAT?#GIVE ME THE THREE MOST IMPORTANT PEOPLE (that you've not killed so you can continue to torture them) AND LET THEM HANGOUT FFS#I like that one swing from a building was the limit for Frank. Give him a gun. A knife. Something to hit people. He's awesome.#Throw him off a building so he can land on a nice soft car - no thanks.#And were they just going to walk home (to Franks's)? Or like steal a car?#And there was a guy in the car they landed on/next to and nothing happened there. Was he just a bystander?#Does Matt have insurance? And does it cover his secret lair/costume room?#Did Karen drive straight from the airport?#And Frank just STARING at Karen is perfection. Like he needs to drink her in.#And THIS is the moment I thought Matt first noticed something was up with their heartbeats - just the way he swung around to Frank#I'm picturing Karen moving her seat forward to give Frank some more leg room. Her eyes flicking up to the rear view mirror as she tries not#to grin. Coz they're injured. And on the run. She can enjoy being home later.#And I imagine Matt's slowly assembling some thoughts here about why Frank didn't say Karen called... when that would be obvious.#But also being slightly distracted about now being homeless.#And the relief of Karen being back.

THIS CHAPTER WAS SO GOOD I LOVE YOU CHAPTER 42
kashima's gender euphoria from getting sick and her voice dropping = EXTREMELY MECODED
LITERALLY JUST HAVING A GOOD TIME BEING A DUDE TODAY!!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!
im so glad the hori's a girl/wants to be feminine thing isn't a one-off. keep gambling kashima
^^also i love that sawing is like.. placed in the girl category here re: gendered interests
kashima thinks it's cute that hori's short.................. :>
and i love how into the idea of live-dubbing kashima hori gets. did he think it'd be fun to try saying those kinds of lines? is he just kinda going off vibes from her roles? it's like really fun to me idk i love it also it's some kind of sick freak theater kid flirting to me for sure
i love it when hori tries to be nice to/indulge kashima bc he's worried he's like.. not treating her gently enough. and then it's always like nah. girl your boyfriend is just Like That but it's good that you're trying
PEAKKK
^^obsessed with nozaki and mikorin fretting over her trying to pick him up
#gsnk#gekkan shoujo nozaki kun#horikashi#kashima yuu#god there's been a LOT of good horikashi moments these past few chapters#the little extra where hori's bothered about not being able to see kashima's face#kashima realizing she's so comfortable talking to seo bc she and hori are basically the same height#the character bio pages where everyone's got a themed bday and hori's is (as translated in my version) 'nice knee-highs day'#and his preferred girl has (again) nice legs. GET A GRIP HORI#and kashima's section being 'thinks all girls are cute (unknown for boys)' is perfect. splendid even#i love you bi butch kashima you and your cringe ass b/gf are so important to me#like why is the best butch rep ever (<- exaggerating. but only a little tbh) coming from some random guy. o7 thanks but why#genuinely the way gsnk plays with gender is such a huge part of the appeal for me. it's most obvious in horikashi obviously#but nozaki mikoshiba seo and waka are all involved to varying extents. possibly more if i keep reading#update im sorry tsubaki-san for calling you some random guy when you're actually some random girl orz o7 etc

You say you don’t like the killer reveal, why? I actually think dev made some great choices and I’d love to talk to you about your perspective.
i don't want to get too deep into it because, like i mentioned in my previous post, i don't want my criticism to come off as negativity towards the series or discourage anyone involved in the production of the show because it's honestly not a huge deal. like, it in no way ruins the show or makes it less enjoyable for me. and i don't think the choice of who the culprit is is a bad one at all, i'm mostly unsatisfied with the way the chapter handles it.
[spoilers beneath the cut, obvi lol. and please remember this is just my opinion. me having and expressing my opinion is not hate towards the series. i'm nervous enough as it is posting just this and not a bigger essay on all my thoughts because i really don't want to have this be misconstrued, nor do i want any criticism i have to give, regardless of how innocent and respectful my intentions, to make drdtdev or anyone who works on the series feel bad.]
i think Ace being the killer DOES make sense. i have no qualms with him being the blackened, in theory. do i think he could've made for a great survivor, or have really interesting growth throughout the coming chapters? yeah! i would have loved for Ace to be kept around for much longer. but him being the killer this chapter isn’t inherently bad. it's now clear that there's a specific direction Ace's character was meant to go in this story and i think that's fine.
my problem is with what *didn't* happen with Ace's character up to this point.
the chapter hasn't concluded yet so there's still a chance for my thoughts to change, though i don't think it'll make much of a difference. but i'm still waiting to see if it can stick the landing. and even if it doesn't, that's okay. i've already accepted it, i'm just still disappointed by it all the same.
Ace, honestly, hasn't played much of an active role in the story. he's been a source of conflict and comedic relief, and that's okay, not every character has to be as important as Xander or David...but he hasn't really gotten to *do* anything. this series is very character-driven, and thus is very focused on the relationships between other characters. Ace has only had one notable relationship (outside of his feud with Nico, but i'm not really including that as a "relationship" for obvious reasons), and that was with Levi. and that didn't even stay positive for very long. and we also know now that Levi didn't even care about him to begin with because he doesn't care about people in general.
not only did Ace never really get to establish any other relationships, no one ever LIKED him. of course a good portion of the fandom likes him, but in the actual story, no one cares about him. no one will miss him. his death is honestly kind of meaningless character-wise. does it serve as a lesson to some of the other characters? sure. but he's going to be dying here with no one ever liking or caring about him.
Min's story wasn't just a cautionary tale. people did like her, people did care about her. she was friends with a lot of characters, she got to have an impact in the daily lives of others. we got to know her better, the things she liked, her deeper thoughts and opinions on things. she got to do stuff, and we got to learn about her. her death meant more to the characters beyond just being the first culprit. she died as a person, not just as a character.
most of the stuff we know about Ace is surface level or things confirmed in Q&As. he doesn't get to contribute much aside from the aforementioned conflict/comedic relief. i understand where the show is going with that idea, and why him not being liked by anyone is a specific part of what led him to murder, but that's not really what irks me. it's that Ace never got to really be a *person.* he's essentially a plot device, serving the greater "good person" theme going on this chapter, and filling in the smaller roles in the story when needed, like an antagonist in a scene or delivering a gag. yes, his admittance to killing Arei and eventual post-trial trauma dump will give him a bit more humanity and character...but that's not really enough.
we only get to see Ace how the other members of the cast see Ace: his loud, combative, aggressive side. the side that makes people think he's nothing more than an angry meathead who can't do anything right. we never got to see much of his other sides, of a much more somber, melancholic Ace. receiving even a hint of the Ace we see in his confession of guilt beforehand would have given him the depth we needed before this point.
to explain what i mean: imagine how unsatisfying it would have been if we never got to actually see Arei's breakdown in the playground. if Teruko had left before it happened, and we only get to learn what happened from a flashback from David's perspective. we already feel the weight and tragedy of Arei's death when her body is discovered because we knew beforehand why she behaved the way she did, how she never even liked being the way she is, and wishing she could be a good person like Eden. if we didn't get to see that happen beforehand, Arei's death would feel very flat and detached. her character growth would've happened entirely retroactively.
that's how i feel with Ace. it's not like he didn’t get enough spotlight this chapter, he certainly did. but every scene he was in really didn't really add anything new to him. the only thing that "progressed" with him was his hatred and paranoia. we just see him descend with no uplifting moments, no emotional hook to make us feel anything for him. the closest we get is the scene where he's arguing with Nico and Veronika at lunch, ranting about how poorly everyone thinks of him and that they all assume that he's for some reason happy to be the way he is. but it's really the barest of scrapes towards the deeper layers of his character.
a big problem is that there were a lot of chances for his character to actively be *explored*, but instead, the narrative perspective of him stays completely stagnant. the time we get with him this chapter doesn't give him any greater focus. and sure, you could say that that might be a big giveaway to him being the culprit, but i think if the time between character spotlight is distributed evenly, that would be easily circumvented. there was a lot more time that could've been spent building Ace's character beyond his animosity and self-loathing tendencies. we could have had someone actually attempting to bond with him, even if it doesn't turn out well. even if all the characters distrust each other to varying degrees, there's still a lot of characters that like each other or have unique bonds with each other that make them stand out and feel worth remembering, because those bonds contribute something to their characters. but with Ace? he truly gets the short end of the stick, because this isn't just the characters neglecting him, it's the story itself. if Ace got to have a moment like Arei, maybe someone to confide in, even if he wasn't really friends with them or liked them at all, him being vulnerable just once and having a moment with someone else would have rooted him in more as a person who fell victim to what the killing game wanted from him and not just a fictional character fulfilling the purpose required of them in the story.
honestly, it's a bit of a slap in the face, the way the show goes about it. because in hindsight, Ace's whole character is *meant* to be wasted potential. after all, his related phrase on Mai's bio page is "a girl who had a bright future".
he was set up to have the potential to change, the potential to add more to the story, the potential to show us more than what we were given. and i think the show kind of knows that and specifically perpetuates that. the scene where Teruko tells Levi to give up on trying to apologize to Ace almost reads as the show itself telling you to give up on Ace. that, why should we care about him? he's not going to amount to what we want from him. there's no use in investing our feelings in him.
whether or not any of that actually was intentionally doesn't matter, unfortunately, because rewatching so many scenes having this new context really makes it all seem like Despair Time doesn't want you to care about Ace. that Ace is meant to be a waste, that that's the core of his character. him being the epitome of wasted potential could have been great, actually, if they chose to use even a slight bit of that potential to build him up more before his inevitable demise. instead we watch him eat shit throughout the entire show thus far only for him to get royally fucked at the very end in the worst way possible. Ace's theme of wasted potential is only wasted potential because nothing is ever done with him. not actively, anyways. whatever his post-trial confessional is like won't really give us what we needed from the start. Ace didn't just deserve better in his life. he deserves better as a fictional character. he deserved to be a person and not *just* a character. he deserved to have deeper, emotional character moments outside of the trial, long before his murder confession and rapidly approaching demise. he deserved to be 3-dimensional.
again, this is all just my personal opinion, and there's still a chance the show can stick the landing and make Ace as the culprit feel a lot more natural and deserved. i'm not really confident in that happening, but drdt is full of surprises as well as a lot of great writing. that being said, even though i believe they kinda fumbled the bag with Ace here, i don't hate this turn of events. although he's a big favorite of mine, i still wanted Eden to be innocent over him, because she's also a great character and her killing Arei would not only be pretty huge character assassination, but would also make Arei's death meaningless. and i also think there were other characters who could have been better candidates as the chapter 2 killer (not just Hu, i think Levi, Arturo, and maybe even J also could've made for compelling culprits with the right reasons).
i'm content with this. i'm heartbroken he's going so early and i wish the execution of his guilt had been a lot better, but overall it's not terrible. he just deserved so much more in many different ways.
#i'm still worried i'm not articulating this well enough#and its 2am right now as i'm finishing this up so i'm not writing with the clearest of minds#but i think this at least conveys the way i feel somewhat accurately#again. i want to reiterate that i fucking love this show and that Culprit Ace was not a terrible idea#now that it's canon i can see a lot of the good that comes from the concept#but i don't think it was handled very well unfortunately#culprit Hu would've been super awesome ESPECIALLY for this trial but like. i understand she's not and that's okay#and i'm really excited to see what happens with her going forward!#so yeah. drdt is really good. but it's not perfect. but that's also a part of what makes it so good#you feel me?#drdt#danganronpa despair time#despair time#drdt spoilers#despair time spoilers#danganronpa despair time spoilers#drdt chapter 2 part 2#ace markey#arei nageishi#thanks for the ask btw i like it when people are interested in my thoughts and i'm not just talking to the bars of my enclosure lmao

sometimes i talk a lot when i'm with someone i enjoy being around, maybe too much. either rants or about my feelings. would binah find it overbearing?
also, hope you're doing better ! your works make my day a lot. if not the world will find the head at their doorstep
Binah would love each and every word. once she was an Arbiter, someone who listened to nothing but her own sonatas. perhaps that's why she spoke so eloquently, a subconscious need to lock away her loneliness with her own version of events. no one spoke to her. none other than the Head, the Claws, and the people begging for mercy. once she relished the silence. now it taunts her, the way the other librarians skirt around her and scurry away in fear. all except for you, snuggling comfortably up against her with that smile you're always giving her, pressing your head against her hand. her arms automatically wrap around you, almost curled up against her lap. it's perfect like this
her lips twitch up slightly as you talk, hand running idly over the contours and curves of your face. everything you say fascinates her, wishing to cradle your beautiful emotions and keep their warmth close to her heart. they're intangible yet so present and real. she settles for embracing you, equally as satisfying and twice as solid, humming quietly against your skin. she's smiling, you can tell. it's something she only does when you're nearby, this soft, sweet smile, so different from her usual smug expression. Binah holds you gently, whether you're laughing or pouting of crying. her fingers wipe away any tears that might fall, caressing your cheek before she leans in, a kiss of finality on each drop as she murmurs for you to breathe once more
#project moon#lobotomy corp#library of ruina#binah#binah lobcorp#binah library of ruina#binah never finds you overbearing#she is a listener#and to you she especially loves listening#and you to her#because listening cannot go without the reverse#thank you#i do actually feel better now#i got to talk to someone#about things i've been keeping in for weeks#and it is a lot better now#not perfect#but i feel hopeful again#i hope my binahlove helps you smile

For the RO jumble, I humbly request Yael with either F or M💛
Thank you, Ryn <3 I did Yael with F here, so let's go for Yael and Morgan this time.
They'd have a bit of a slow start, despite Yael being attracted to Morgan right away. But she's not looking for casual sex. Because feelings only come later on, she wouldn't be too bothered by Morgan's initial hot and cold behaviour. She'd be patient, letting things develop in their own time. And Morgan would be so good for her, giving her that confidence that she lacks at times.
A flash, a push and then the air gets knocked out of her lungs as her back collides with the mat with a dull thud. Her arms are pinned to either side, a weight on her, pressing her down. Keeping her in place.
~*~*~*~*~*
She can’t move.
Soft mat turns to operating table, the air humid, cold.
She can’t breathe.
Leather straps dig into her wrists.
She’s trapped.
“… Yael? Yael!”
The weight on top of her is gone, her wrists no longer pinned to the mat, and looking down at her is not Murphy’s cruel face, but one whose sharp features are softened by countless freckles. Morgan’s dark eyebrows are drawn together in a frown.
Yael opens her mouth, but her tongue refuses to form words. Her heart beats against her ribcage as if its trying to escape.
“Breathe, sweetheart.” Morgan’s fingertips brush Yael’s forehead, pushing aside the hair plastered to her skin by fast cooling sweat. After Yael inhales—one, two, three, four—and exhales—one, two, three, four, Morgan breathing in time with her—Morgan helps her sit up and move to the nearby wall.
“I— I’m fine,” Yael says when Morgan gives her a water bottle. She grabs and drops it quickly in her lap to hide her shaking hands.
“No, you’re not.” No accusation, just the stating of a fact. She sits down next to Yael, resting her hand on Yael’s thigh, absent-mindedly rubbing the seam of her leggings with her thumb.
After a shaky sip of water and another deep breath, Yael drops her head on Morgan’s shoulder. “I will be fine, then.”
Her voice is still small, and she half expects Morgan to call her out on a lie again, but instead, Morgan wraps her arm around her shoulder and says, “I know you’ll be.”
The simple conviction in those words is enough to make herself believe it too.
#serenwrites#thank you again for the ask!#i've been wanting to write yael and morgan for some time now so this was perfect#there are some similarities between yael's nate route and her potential route with morgan#like that attraction being there from the start#(though with nate feelings develop faster)#and also how patient yael is: with nate she's fine with him taking the time to open up about his past#and with morgan she doesn't pressure her about what she may or may not be feeling

Can you tell us more about Giulietta? Would love to hear about involvement with the mob, and her ill-fated relationship with Harold... And about Claryce's relationship with her. I imagine there's a lot of baggage there.
Of course! And yeah there's definitely a lot of baggage, might as well call it a cargo!
Giulietta is Fat Tony's older sister (by 5 years of difference) and the previous leader of the Mob - later on nicknamed "La Mama" for the way she often spoke of her daughter.
(Fun fact: the necklace she wears here is a locket necklace with a picture of baby Claryce!)
Giulietta's past
She wasn't meant to lead the Mob at first, as the legacy was meant to be given to her little brother when he would be old enough. She didn't mind, in all her honesty. Her dream was to open her own Italian restaurant, as she loved cooking! But her parents' sudden passing when she was 15 (in a gang-related attack that she sadly witnessed) changed all the plans, and she took over- both to protect her brother, who she felt was too young to carry such responsibilities, and as a personal decision, as she swore to avenge her parents' death. Which she did. And she didn't stop there. And to everyone's surprise, she became an even fiercer leader than her own father was, not hesitating to resort to torture or murder when things didn't go her way. Her catchphrase for such occasions (and, ironically, more mundane ones) is "Now listen, darling..." (which could be interchanged later with "Now listen to mama...").
Giulietta and Harold
She had a few husbands; at best, she'd break up with them, at worst, she was a Black Widow. Harold Whitman was probably about to meet the same fate, except that... Giulietta got pregnant. And if she knew one thing from her own parents' loss, it's that she refused to leave her baby without a father (and, if you asked her, Harold wasn't too bad; she used to like his brutal honesty and his overwhelming confidence). However, if you asked Harold... it was a bet that didn't turn his way. He only stood because 1) he didn't want to be a dead man 2) it was the opportunity to have a son to raise for his legacy, as other women tended to ditch him - no wonder why). Fast forward to present time - Giulietta was too busy to properly take care of her daughter, and Harold didn't get a son. No one was happy about this! Surely this won't have any emotional impact on their child, right? Yeah, no, you know what this did to Claryce already.
Leaving the Mob
Giulietta didn't mean to stay this long as a leader. But her childhood trauma, as well as the determination she earned as the years went on made her less likely to hand over the title (even if she did share it with Tony, with who she often worked as a team) but the most important decisions were left to her. ...Until the day she received her daughter's distressed call. This felt like a waking-up call. She dropped everything to move back to Texas. Both to keep an eye on Harold, and to emotionally and financially support Claryce as she recovered from her burn out so she could start over her studies to find a new career. Frankly, she will never forgive herself for letting down her daughter - she was convinced she would be safer with Harold than with her and the Mafia's ordeals - and to this day she still has trouble letting Claryce stand on her own feet. This is why a few months after Claryce had moved back to Springfield, she divorced Harold and returned to live with her brother.
Giulietta and Chiara (Claryce)
While Claryce is happy her mother cut ties with her father, she still wishes she wasn't so overwhelming with her love and also accepted her as the person she grew up to be rather than pushing her to become her own idealised daughter. No, she won't pursue her mother's dream to own a restaurant (she's an awful cook). No, she won't give her grandchildren (she can't have kids). And no, her favorite color is NOT purple like hers, as she claimed to Fat Tony when he asked her what color to paint the walls of Claryce's flat. The sad truth is that Giulietta knows little to nothing about Claryce - what she really likes, her dreams, her ideals... And the reverse is just as true, except Claryce refuses to acknowledge the lives her mother (and her uncle) had taken away for their own affairs. And yet, slowly but surely, they'll learn to understand each other a little better as time goes on. Even if Claryce (and her loved ones) still think her mother is nosy.
Too nosy.
B - "I truly appreciate your concern, but let's not rush things- I believe Claryce has a say in the matter-" G - "Aww, what a gentleman you are! Do you want to see her baby pictures? My favorite is the one where she-" C - "MA, STOP THIS ALREADY--"
Giulietta today / in the show (link to her character reference)
Ironically, as opposed to her past, Giulietta would be your local Italian-American grandma who loves gossiping, putting her nose where she shouldn't, and making sure no one passes hunger (Claryce especially loves her carbonara pasta, although Giulietta is mostly known for making the best lasagna of the city).
Sometimes her bossy temper resurfaces, but nothing that would lead to her awful past ways. Speaking of it, if you asked her, you'd be stuck listening to hours of her old stories - tales of love, tales of crimes, or just saying how much she loves her daughter... But hey, you'd get to have a free meal, so here's that.
Oh, also. She has a rivalry with Luigi, who constantly tries to learn her secrets - while she's upset a guy who's not Italian gets to live her childhood dream.
Isn't she a criminal still, though...?
She is! She'll still have a say sometimes when Fat Tony needs a piece of advice, but she'll never get herself involved in the Mob's affairs. Unless she happens to be there - and she'd be able to defend herself just fine (she always keeps her trusted gun under her skirt). As to why she's not in prison or hunted by the police, well....... I'm still not too sure about that. Perhaps she faked her death before moving to Texas, or something of the likes. I still need to think about it. But the idea of an old Mob leader running free while guys like Snake or Bob get arrested does sound fitting for the humor of the show.

I had such a ridiculous dream last night.
(To be fair this was tame considering how wild and crazy my dreams usually are)
#anyway I saw some guy playing FFXII at my childhood home#but he had installed this mod and everyone looked positively AWFUL!#the costumes were horrendous#like Penelo had to carry around this baby looked like a creepy doll have the time and she had this huge fake moustache she was wearing#that’s supposed to be half not have thank you autocorrect#and I woke up and was like noooo oh wait it was just a dream#apparently my brain is still not over that one mod that…I will be diplomatic and say I really really did not like#(Balthier looked so ugly in that and that is a heinous crime)#(clothes are attractive!! His usual outfit is perfect as is)#but I made the guy promise and swear he would delete the mod so I never had to see it again 🤣#and the story was different and people had randomly added weird parts but used their own voices not the voice actors it was extra bad#anyway hope you all have a good day!

20. What was your most anticipated release? Did it meet your expectations?
!!!! def the mars house by natasha pulley! it did meet my expectations and in a lot of ways vaulted over them, because the pre-release reviews were...... rough. thankfully i found a lot of the reasons for the bad reviews (not all of the reasons, but a lot of them) to be nonissues for me. i really liked that way pulley played with gender, the pluses and minuses of living in a non-gendered world. the mammoths thing was kind of silly but in a cute way. and gale really is the most compelling love interest of the year to me. gale themarshouse call me if it doesn't work out with january.
#thank you!!! ^^#there are always Issues with pulley's books that are worth pointing out and not accepting#but overall i just appreciate the way she treats serious societal problems because she doesn't act like she's on the debate team#and she's arguing Her Side against The Other Side#instead she gets in the minds of people who actually live in that society and presents a lot of different reactions#wherein yeah the MCs tend to be the ones with more loving/'progressive' ideals#but they're never perfect. they're never Only good guys. there is in fact a lot of murder in pulleyverse MCs/LIs. and that's okay#like the society in tmh has problems!! and no one has perfect opinions or reactions because it's impossible to be 100% Right#it really does respect both the author's characters and the readers' intelligence. expects you to be able to draw your own conclusions#but also in the end these books are (imho) first and foremost romances. like they're not paperback avon romances or whatever#but they are always Love Stories to whatever degree#but yeah anyway. thx again <3

if dorian didn't show up, do you think louis would have shot minnie?
I do. I know some people think either he wouldn't have or he would've missed so that's why the writers had him shoot Dorian instead, but mmmmmm no, I don't personally think so. I like to think that if he had taken the shot, his shaky hands would've caused him to shoot her fatally.
Mostly because I'm already so normal about the fact that of the Ericson crew, Marlon and Louis are the only ones with a body count. Well, that we know of, but shown to us in the game, at least. Plus, we know it's Louis' first kill.
Like yeah, Clementine and AJ become part of the crew and they have bigger body counts, and if we're counting indirect kills caused by actions, then Tenn has a count... and I guess everyone has blood on their hands for blowing up the boat... but I'm talking about killed directly with a weapon like....... I lied, I'm not normal about that at all, Louis and Marlon are the ones who have killed someone in Louis' route. I'm also not normal about the fact that Louis kills Dorian and then even as he's clearly in shock, he tries to go with Clementine to get AJ, and then later on when they talk about it, he says it feels like bile but not quite and he's glad he has it in him to do it.... listen, listen, listen... I'm obsessed with that.
Anyway, so if Louis shot Minerva, I think he would've accidentally killed her and can you imagine? He's already enough of a mess after killing the woman who pinned him down and tried to cut his finger off [or succeeded] but he knew Minerva, they were friends before the twins were taken. Even Violet couldn't kill her even though that would've been the smarter thing to do, and we know thanks to meta knowledge that killing her would've saved lives, but Violet couldn't, and I don't think Louis would intentionally either.
Speaking of Violet, if Louis killed Minerva, I hate to think about what that would've done to Vi. I think she might've actually left at that point, like what was planned before it got changed to her being burned. I don't think she would've attacked Louis over it, though, like yeah she attacked Clementine in the cell but Louis? I don't know, but I don't think so just because it's Louis and he'd be a mess about it anyway.
Though if he did kill her, it would be a neat parallel to draw... y'know, because Louis forgave AJ for killing Marlon even though he was pissed and heartbroken, and Violet was annoyed with him the entire time... but could she ever forgive Louis for killing Minerva? Y'know? We already have a similar parallel with AJ shooting Tenn, but still.
If Clementine killed Minerva in that moment, though, then I could see Violet attacking her since in her eyes, Clem proved her right.
So yeah, I get why they added the Dorian kill to his route. It adds another compelling element to Louis as a character, but we also need Minerva alive for episode 4; Louis can't kill her, he can't miss, and he's not going to stay with her because we need Violet to stay on the boat and him to be on shore for all routes.
#asks#twdg louis#twdg minerva#twdg clementine#twdg violet#twdg marlon#twdg tenn#honestly whenever i see someone say louis is the boring option i'm just like '.......that's your opinion but also how can you say that??'#then again i'm sure other people look at me saying violentine just isn't for me and they say the same thing so y'know... i can't talk haha#also time is such a weird thing because i look at the entire cell scene in louis' route and like... i'm not even mad about violet anymore#like yeah i still don't believe she was brainwashed like i'm sorry y'all only believe that because kent said something about it#not because there's all this evidence toward it in game like vi being pissed at clementine makes sense she doesn't need to be brainwashed#for it to work like her being vulnerable and easily manipulated into submission makes perfect sense especially with minerva there#it's like everyone was pissed that she attacked clementine and people needed a way to excuse it so it's not violet's fault when like...#that's literally what makes it interesting like calm down it's okay if violet is pissed and scared and behaves accordingly#also my controversial opinion of the day that i'll hide here in the tags so maybe people won't find it sksksk but#I personally find the concept of vinerva and the doomed tragedy of it more compelling than anything violentine did#like i'll defend violentine and i do believe it's an important and good ship it's just not my personal favorite#anyway but then the whole thing with lilly and minerva is so good and louis screaming FUCK YOU at minerva?? amazing love it so good#i love when the soft character who never chooses violence is so pissed off that all that anger they have boils to the surface and it's raw#like... he's SO mad he's SO furious he's SOOO UPSET like he wasn't even like this when marlon died or anything like he hit his limit#and then shooting dorian through the mouth while an accident is just well done i love it and i love his reaction of mortification#and apologizing and YET he still tries to go with clementine he's trembling and can barely string together a sentence but he wants to go#he wants to help her he wants to save aj THAT is the gut reaction he has after everything that just went down#'louis isn't loyal or good for clem because of the vote' babe tell me you don't understand any nuance of louis' character without telling m#it's fine IT'S FINE you don't have to agree and i just have to remind myself that it's fine not everyone likes louis we're okay#this drives me crazy in the best way like y'know what? i love the cells scene in louis' route all of it even the stuff i used to rant about#even the stuff that used to piss me off now i'm just like 'no wait past cj was dumb she wasn't looking at it this way aaaaaaaa' sksksks#that was my tag ted talk about the cell scene thank you

something about being told im 'the leading person at this whole academy when it comes to interpretation and stage intelligence' by the husband of the woman im trying (not really. but i mean. who knows) to seduce... ok boy you got me. lets make it a polycule.
#im playing it all cool and funny now but atm i legit burst into tears lol#like he said i have a 'good voice too of course' but i know realistically that is not my strongest asset#and even if i were technically perfect. which im NOT lol. the voice itself is just nothing special. it's there ig but that's about it#but its nice to know i may not be 100% useless after all#(just 90%)#also apparently the most feared and respected professor who came to the concert said. again. that he likes me the most.#which again. crying real actual tears about this all rn this means literally the world to me this is everything i have#and i have no one to share this with because im not gonna say it to my uni friend cause i dont want her to feel like im boasting or sth#(even tho she has no such qualms herself but probably because i know how. not great. it feels when someone keeps talking about themselves#and about how great they are and how easy everything is for them. i dont wanna do it back at her.#well there's also the fact that i dont think im great and this is not fucking easy to me at all lol#but idk i think the difference between us is that she actually admitted she sees no point in singing if she cant show off (thus she hates#the duet we're singing because she sings the lower part and cant show off her high notes or coloratura.#which is like. an insane take to me. i mean it i get it. kinda. if i had a voice like hers maybe id be like that too fuck knows.#but that just feels so. idk. sad to me. so self obsessed and empty. like you dont care about the music itself? about you being a part of it?#also immediately made singing with her not fun anymore. i thought we were creating something TOGETHER. but thanks for the confirmation#that you only really care about being 'better than'. yikes.#like idk this behaviour is funny and iconic in old school opera legends like yes go bite each others dicks off.#but it hits completely different when it's your own colleague let alone your friend. like damn girl. damn)#) anyway. the husband is kinda hot too now that i think of it. i really should seduce them both.#except its realistically not possible since they've both seen me cry now (she saw it like a hundred times lol)#so ive lost the hot and mysterious card alas. no uni professors romance for me
