(Alhaitham’s Story Quest Spoilers)

It's my headcanon that Alhaitham and Cyno have a kind of deciphering method that they share only between them. That's why Cyno knew what the "symbols" are. And Alhaitham often sends Cyno the secret messages through official documents when he has something to tell him.

HAZBIN HOTEL EP 5-6 SPOILERS WARNING‼️

Ok i literally was waiting so much to see Lucifer n Lilith being a really happy and cute maried couple and now yall telling me that THEY DIVORCED??????? IM LITERALLY CRYIN WHAHT??? 😭

and OMG LUCIFER. HES SUCH A BABY, SWEETIE, SCRUNKY, CUTIE PATOOTIE!!! HES SO SILLY, I WISH I HAD DAD LIKE HIM. JUST LOOK AT HIM OH MAI GAHD

And his voice is really cool too! Not really what i expected him to sound like but still good! N the way he speaks is really funny too:

"Oh the applause! Oh please, thank u, thank u.. oh gOD WHO AM I KIDDING, THIS SUCKS!!"

"Daughter callin-- Da-DAU-DAUGHTER CALLING??? OH---"

"TAKE THAT, DEPRESSION!"

"Oh my golly!! You like girls!! SO DO I, WE HAVE SO MUCH IN COMMON!!!!"

Hes ABSOLUTELY my 2nd fave character after Vox. Hes such a sweetheart i cant---

Also can we talk about how Alastor said "Fuck you" to a KING OF HELL? LIKE I KNOW THAT THIS KING IS NOT REALLY KINGING BUT STILL I WOULDNT HAVE BALLS TO SAY THAT TO LUCIFER HIMSELF.

Also the fact that Alastor was immediatly so pissed when Luci just steped into hotel is really strange. Maybe something happened between them that we dont know so far? Cuz purposely making Luci mad literally 5 secs after u met each other is really weird.

AND OMG THIS SONG IS TOTALLY NEW FAVOURITE BY NOW, THEY LITERALLY DID AN ELECTRO SWING SONG LIKE HELL YEAH!!! N THE FACT THAT LUCI OUT OF NOWHERE STARTS PLAING VIOLIN AGGRESSIVELY AND THEN SHUTS ALASTOR UP WITH AN ACCORDION IN THIS IS THE BEST TGING EVER.

i dont know how i think bout Mimzy rn. All i gotta say is she have a really cool singing voice!

And this shot is really adorable

Ok we actually now know from Husk that someone actually having Alastors soul! Just think about it: someone have AN OVERLORDS SOUL. Not ex-overlord like Husk, AN ACTUAL OVERLORD. Is this even possible??

This last song made me cry (again). I feel so bad for Luci, he was abandoned by heaven n he just doesnt want the same fate for his beautiful daughter, cuz she is the only thing he live for (i want him to be my dad so much omg..)

Also when Lilith took little Charlie away from Luci, it was sad, but it actually made me think, what if Lilith will be an antogonist? What if she will be the bad person? Maybe the main vilian even. I think if that will actually happen everyone will go CRAZY. But thats just my lil thought.

Ok, 6th ep! I actually didnt expect that we will see heaven so soon!

Ok but sir Pentious is GOT CRUSH ON CHERRI BOMB??? WHA??? THAT WAS SOMETHING I REALLY DIDNT EXPECT

Also i expected heaven to be much more strict place with many rules, where noone is alowed to swear. But turned out that its actually just a hell with better people and more rules, thats all. And its actually really strange that u can swear in heaven. Im not talking about Adam n Lute, cuz theyre exterminators and clearly just awhul ppl, this guy infront of heavens gates actually said fuck. Maybe im just wrong, but isnt swearing unacceptable in christianity?..

Also HELL YEAH we nailed it! We were right about Vaggie being a fallen angel. But the reason why she fell.... She was an exterminator and literally just didnt kill one child (which is really shows us that she have a kind heart) BUT SHE WAS EXPELED FOR IT IN SUCH HORRIBLE WAY.

I JUST DONT HAVE ENOUGH RAGE TO DESCRIBE HOW MUCH I HATE THOSE MOTHERFUCKERS. I REALLY HOPE WHEN HEAVEN DECIDES TO REDEEM PPL FROM HELL, THEY BOTH WILL GO TO FUCKING HELL FOR ALL THOSE VILENCE THEY BROUGHT TO WORLD, THAT WOULD BE FUCKING HILARIOUS.

Also Cherri Bomb is being kinda toxic friend to Angel n i dont like that.

ALSO ANGEL STOOD UP AGAINST VAL!! HELL YEAH, SLAY SPIDERBOI!!! IM LITERALLY NOT SCARED OF WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO HIM WHEN HE WILL GO BACK TO HIS JOB!! IM NOT SCARED AT ALL!!!!

Ok this last song WAS SO EPIC!! ESPECIALLY WHEN CHARLIE N EMILY DID UNO REVERSE ON ADAMS SONG FROM EP 1!!

AND THAT PART WHEN ADAM REVEALED THAT VAGGIE IS AN ANGEL WAS SO EPIC TOO I LITERALLY GOT CHILS

and Charlies reaction to that was actually really heartbreaking

And everything ended up with Adam winning. I really hope that justice will overtake in this whole situation and Charlies plan will work. And im really interested to see Charlie n Vaggies relationships after that reveal. I honestly think that Charlie will forgive her, but its still really interesting.

Wow, it took me long enough to make this post.. I really like direction this show goes, n i can not wait for the next 2 eps!!

MAKI ZENIN AND NORITOSHI KAMO

More culling games analysis this week, in my continued to prove this arc is more than just fighting and there’s a lot of thought put up into the matchups between these characters. This meta will focus on why Noritoshi and Maki two characters who had almost zero interaction before this point are now teaming up together in the fight against Naoya. Though this fight is their first interaction to date, there are actually a lot of parallels already set up between them which I’ll elaborate on underneath he cut. 

1. The Dutiful Son and the Rebellious Daughter 

The first and most obvious difference between Noritoshi and Maki is established all the way back in the Kyoto Goodwill Event Arc. Maki is the reject of the Zenin Clan. Her intentions towards the conservative are revolution and reform, she leaves with the intention of returning and taking over as the clan head. Most importantly her way of battling with corruption of the Zenin Clan is from the outside rather than from within. 

Noritoshi when first introduced seems to be not only the literal opposite of Maki, a dutiful son, and obedient to the conservative faction of the clan, and even to the other Kyoto kids someone who is exremely strict on the rules, he is also shown to be obedient to the rules of the higher ups. Maki rebels, Noritoshi seems to keep his head down. 

They are opposites even in how they decide to handle Itadori Yuji, Maki protects him right away without question, whereas Kamo on the surface seems to follow orders of the higher ups in regards to what to do about Yuji Itadori and even leads the charge against him in the battle arc. 

While Maki is treated like a rebellious child and outcasted, Noritoshi curries a special favor with Gakuganji one of the biggest players in the conservative faction, and is even entrusted with special tasks by Gakuganji. Kamo’s clearly seen as a leader among his peers as well, and tries a little too hard to act in that role, to the point where is friends regard him as a stiff stick in the mud always lecturing people like Mai that they should behave more within the expectations of heirs to one of the three great clans. 

Kamo’s projected role of the obedient son however, is shown to have more complexity than it at first seems. Yes unlike the revolutionary faction he does several things that seem to encourage the status quo and he seems overly obedient to both the elders and the conservative faction, but the first small detail revealed is that he has a reason for acting this way. 

Kamo is actually born to similiar circusmtances as Maki, in that they are both designated as outcasts by births to their extremely traditional and restrcitive jujutsu clans. Maki is an outcast due to being without cursed technique, and Noritoshi is the son of a mistress who is looked down upon and tormented by the clan, and he himself was only welcomed because he was born with a cursed technique that was useful. 

Noritoshi plays the rule of the dutiful Kamo heir, because quite literally his mother’s life is on the line. The only real difference between Maki and Noritoshi’s situation is that Noritoshi was born with the cursed technique of his clan and was welcomed into the clan (but only to be used and was seperated from his mother as a result), and Maki was born with no cursed technique in the Zenin clan that prizes cursed technique above everything else and then was eventually shunned until she left. And even after she left they did everything she could to become a sorcerer. 

These seem like opposites but, first Kao isn’t like the chosen son of the clan, he’s a kid they took in because he was useful and are currently using him for their benefit. Maki and Kamo also have the same internal motivators, they are both outcasts to their clan, but their desire for reform comes from a desire to make these clans a better place for their loved ones.  To explain briefly the terminology I’m using, an external motivator is an enemy to face or something on the outside that the character that the characters are fighting against. 

An internal motivator is more often than not an emotional conflict deep isndie the characters, and sometimes contains a hidden motivation they won’t admit to out loud, therefore you know, internal. 

Noritoshi and Maki’s external motivators are opposites, Noritoshi’s goal is to be the dutiful son and the ideal heir of the Kamo clan, and act in the interests of the three great families. Maki is the rebellious daughter of the Zenin Clan, and wants to from the outside smash the Zenin clan’s superiority in order to prove them wrong.

Their internal motivators are the same however, their family member was mistreated and abused by the clan, and Noritoshi and Maki both want to protect them. Maki wants to create a place Mai feels like she belongs in the Zenin clan, and Noritoshi wants to become clan head to make his mother a lowly mistress have a place in the house. 

Noritoshi and Maki have practically identical motivations, and it’s only the means by which they hope to accomplish their goals that are complete opposites, and apparently opposed to one another. You can’t rebel without smashing tradition. You can’t obey tradition without quelling rebellion. 

2. KYOTO VS TOKYO 

Now o analyze a bit of the methods of Noritoshi and Maki. Maki’s seem a bit obvious, while her original goal was to essentially gain enough strength to ascend the ranks of sorcerer from rank 4 where she was stuck at, and even eventually surpass the clan head and force them to acknowledge her upon her return, tragic circumstance instead made her massacre the entire Zenin in an act of revenge after Mai’s death. 

Either way, by surpassing the Zenin under Gojo’s tutelage, or destroying them, Maki’s methods were always from the outside. It makes sense because that is her role in the clan, due to not being born with cursed technique she was always going to be ostracized and treated as an outsider. 

It also reflects the philosophy shared commonly among the Tokyo Students. The whole point of the Kyoto Goodwill event is to show the battling philosophies of the Kyoto Students taught by Utahime, and the Tokyo students taught by Gojo. The Tokyo students in general are staunch individualists, who not only follow Gojo’s philosophy of becoming strong enough to surpass the previous generation in order to support their goals, but also have a tendency to always fight alone, and try to accomplish everything through strength. Gojo’s students fight like Gojo does, who ever would have thought. 

Kyoto students in general tend to value cooperation over individual strength. Due to that fact, they’re often regarded as individually weak, and yet they cooeprate far better as a collective whole than any of the Tokyo Students. Tokyo’s strategy in pretty much any crisis situation is for everyone to split up and go off on their own. The Kyoto students may no be powerhouses, but they have areas where they succeed in, one theyre just more cooperative in general. 

For example, even someone like Noritoshi who is rying to be as strict of a traditionalist as possible, is trying to make a connection to Megumi here and sympathize with his circumstances. 

There are a few key moments where Kyoto students show up, and it’s cooperation that wins the day, rather than a power-up. The biggest exmaple I can think of is, Todo showing up in the Mahito fight. If Todo were not capable of encouraging Yuji when he was at his lowest point, and if Todo and Yuji’s teamwork wasn’t so well developed and on point they would have lost the fight. 

Maki is also, only able to gain strength to defeat her family because of Mai’s sacrifice. Maki left the cla to gain personal power because she wanted to be a jujutsu sorcerer, Mai stayed behind and resented Maki because she just wanted to have a sister. Without Mai’s sacrifice, Maki would have just died in that pit. 

Mai’s sacrifice and her selflessness protects Maki at her lowest point when all the strength in the world doesn’t really matter. Of course, Maki and Mai only being able to work together when they are on their death bed, and Mai having to die for Maki to accomplish her strength, is actually something tragic. 

To bridge to my next point: Indviidualism doesn’t always work, and collectivism doesn’t always work either. Jujutsu Kaisen isn’t a story about good vs evil, it’s about characters who represent both the good and bad aspects of certain ideas or philosophies attempting to find balance with other people. 

Maki and Mai were set up to work together, but they coukdn’t find that balance in time and as a result Maki’s development became incredibly skewed, and even her victory against the Zenin clan was a pyrrhic victory with way too high a cost. Maki would rather have Mai, then the strength to defeat her enemies, and yet that’s what she wound up with because of her inability to find a comrpomise between herself and Mai. 

Noritoshi’s efforts also similiarly failed, his cooperation with the Kamo clan led to absolutely nothing, he wasn’t able to reform the Kamo clan from the inside like he iwshed, nor could he use his influence to try to pettition the conservative faction to lighten their sentence on his friends. The conservative faction was just too embedded for him to change, quite literally a several thousand year man who is the villain of the story and the symbol of the traditional aspects fo Jujutsu Society running rampant over the youth, showed up, became the clan head, and kicked Kamo out. 

Everything he did to gain favor and try to influence both the elders and the clan heads as an heir of the three great families, amounted to nothing. SO you have Maki, the extreme end of an outsider rebelling and her efforts fail. You have NOritoshi on he extreme end of playing politics from the inside in an attempt to gain power to make that change, also fail. 

However, both Maki and Noritoshi are alive, and all is not lost because the chance of cooperation is still there. Noritoshi may not have received a great big power up like Maki, but he has a lot of strategic strenggths that Maki does not have. Maki is for he most part reactionary, you hit her, and she hits back, she doesn’t really think of the big picture. Also, like any Gojo student she does most of her fighting alone. 

While Maki acts as the muscle in the fight against Naoya, it’s Noritoshi who mainly coordinates things. Noritoshi essentially starts playing what is the Megumi to Maki’s Yuji, by coordinating betwen the two of them, keeping communication up, and also most critically being able to set himself aside and act as a supporting role. 

It’s Noritoshi being able to set himself aside, and give Maki higher priority that buys her a chance to recover. Noritoshi’s reasoning as well is that Maki gives a bigger contribution towards their group and the end objective as a whole so he has to priortize her life over his. He’s not just thinking of this fight, but the next one beyond that. Gojo says that cooperation is all well and good, but there’s notthing wrong with selfishness, and there’s no reason to hold yousrelf back from swinging fromt he fences. That’s true, and what’s equally true is that sometimes you need to cooperate and make sacrifices in order to achieve a bigger goal. At the moment Maki despite receiving a power up that allowed her to massacre all the Zenin, isn’t strong enough to take the evolved Naoya. The fight would be lost here without Nortisohi’s cooperative personality. 

However, the sacrifice Noritoshi is trying to make here also reeks of suicidal ideation. It essentially read sa sNOritoshi has almost given up at this point and wants to sacrifice himself for a common goal they all share, because his desire as an individual to reunite with his mother and make the Kamo Clan accept her, is now completely lost. 

Which is how in return he could also probably use Maki protecting his life, and not letting him throw himself away at this stage. It’s not that either one of them has the better philosophy, but rather a comrpomise between the two of them that will win the day.

Why are there people jumping to conclusions that they made Daniel straight after 1 episode? For someone who seems to be on defensive of Daniel's queerness, to have such heteronormative assumptions is just....amusing and ridiculous.

Umbrella Academy season 3 (rant, spoilers)

This new season of TUA has me conflicted, I liked it but I dont think it was as good as the first two but im not sure why. I think it was because of the ending. But I did enjoy it nonetheless. While Allision really annoyed me this season I can understand where shes coming from but it didnt give her the right to treat Viktor like that. Viktor made mistakes, they all did, but its like hating Viktor would change the past especially since it wasn't only Viktor's fault the world ended two times, it was a mix of a lot of things so putting all the blame on Viktor and hating him was really foul of Allision.

Also I was really rooting for the dad this season because I thought he changed, I was wrong...

I loved Diego and Lila's plot this season though. Even though Diego was a little rough in the start he was really getting good at the father and I do appreciate that even though he seemed to not really want Stan in the start he did still care for him and didn't just drop him off somewhere. Very sad when Stan died though.. But I would love to see them as parents if theres another season.

I love Klaus and Five's relationship because I think Five is the one who spent the most time with Klaus in general throughout the show and the way they interact is very amusing. But Five and Klaus are my favs so I might be biased...

Pretty long for my first post but I just had to get my thoughts out about the new season. Might post more about it too.

Thoughts, Comments, Questions, or Concerns?

HAZBIN HOTEL EP 1-2 SPOILERS WARNING‼️

Ok so idk how to start it. Ig ill start with voices

I really like new Charlies voice and her character changes in general. She acts and sounds like a disney princess, but with swears. Shes not just some naive little girl now, SHES A DISNEY PRINCESS WHO CAN SWEAR :DDD

Ok is it just me or Angels voice sound like- exact same like in the pilot? Maybe its just me. But i actually like it! Idk what else to say srry

Ok, Alastor- u may not be agree with me but i dont like his new laugh. Everything else in the voice is okay but i just always really liked og Alastors laugh and now its kinda meh, im sorry

Adam is a freaking bastard n i dont like him as a character, but his voice is AMAZING, especially when he sings (his voice was literally made for metal songs), n its really befitting his character (also his little song was amazing too, my 2nd fav of all songs so far)

Sir Pentious' voice situation is kinda the same as Alastors. Im okay with it but i like the original one more.

I really like Velvettes voice its really befitting her! Well gotta say everyone from VVV have awesome voices that really befitting their characters.

Valentino (idk if i spelled his name correctly)--- as with Adam, I dont like his character (fuck abusive partners), but his voice is cool, its exactly how i expected him to sound like. The only thing i didnt expect is his accent which goes like: "UngRRRateful whoRRRe!! D:<" idk why its funny to me sorry--- Also as i said early his voice is really befitting that type of people whos actin like: "cmon babe come back, i miss youuuu 🥺🥺🥺💔💔" *5 secs later* "COME BACK U STUPID WHORE, U GREESY BITCH—,

and omg... Vox....... Yk why i saved him for last? Cuz im gonna talk bout him ALOT. I already really loved his voice when i first heard it in the trailer, but when he appeared on screen I JUST FEEL IN LOVE. Not only his voice by itself is amazing, BUT ITS ALSO BECOMES STATIC N GLITHES WHEN HES ANGRY❗❗

I WAS SO WORRIED WHEN IN TRAILER WE DIDNT HEAR HIS VOICE HAVING TV STATIC EFFECTS, BUT HE ACTUALLY DO!!! IM SO HAPPY ABT THAT!! AND OMG HIS CHARACTER IN GENERAL-- HES LITERALLY MY FAV CHARACTER SO FAR. I LOVE HIM WITH EVERY LITTLE PIECE OF MY HEART!! IF HE WONT BECOME A TUMBLR SEXYMAN I WILL BE FUCKING MAD.

ALSO DIDJA LISTEN TO HIS AND ALASTORS SONG IN EP 2??????? ITS FUCKING AMAZINGDD, THE BEST SONG SO FAR, ITS MADE LIKE A TV PROGRAMM IN THE BEGINNING N DOESNT EVEN HAVE RHYMES IN SOME PLACES AND THAT IS SOO COOL, IT MAKES IT ALL LOOK SO COOL N SPECIAL!!! LOOK AT SOME SCREENSHOTS OF IT!!!!!!!

(ok im gonna shut up now-)

Another thing i wanna talk about is how fucking TERRIFYING Alastors demon form looks. JUST LOOK AT IT. ITS SO FCKIN HORRIFYING

also i really didnt expect to see sir Pentious cry-- its actually made my heart melt.

And the last song is really cute ❤️

soooo yeah! thats my thoughts so far, I didnt wanna put my thoghts on lore cuz it would be too much spoilers. (also if i didnt talk about voices of some characters, that means i like them and/or okay with them)

TTN Character opinions (Day 2)

I missed a few days or so i'm sorry for the short blog; tw: spoilers for TTN! (like somewhat massive, but no mastermind spoils) Edric Tiryaki: Despite him dying pretty early on his impact on the ttn cast was impactful, gotta say that they used his character right. also ultimate hunters are just naturally good characters. Kyo (forgot they're last name) Honestly Kyo was a good friend to Randhir, Kyo being the traitor was honestly heartbreaking for everyone, still wondering how the ultimate SOLDIER died but yknow- science conquers all. but back to Kyo.. for some reason his death didn't have that much impact? i mean it did towards the characters but it kind of got brushed off due to the secret room opening up after it. actually i'm kinda unsure if i got the order of events right-
