Final Showdown pt 1

Final Showdown pt 2.

So the key to becoming a lil more chill with the patch 0 Orpheus ending is realizing what I can get away with off camera. Brain fell down and nobody saw how we landed? No Emps in sight? Who knows long it took to regroup? One reasonable patch 0 ending where everyone lives coming up.

and I would've been content with this ending too if it weren't for those meddling patches.

Felt validated about the artifact solution though when the epilogue came out. As if Greygold wouldn't keep that lil doo-hickey after all this, practically a bag of holding for people.

Had to jump some logic hoops for Orph though. Don't think Greygold would be willing to risk any potential confrontation with Orpheus about Emps after this. Try and pull their first Squid Trick on him. But uh. Turns out! Orph Buddy's got mad wisdom. Dude has probably seen every Squid Trick in the book. Although. Not so silly as Greygold's attempts.

I love how the only intelligent thing lestat said in the whole iwtv book is that Louis was in a dangerous situation (predicting what will happen to Louis and Claudia in Paris many years later) because of not only his weak powers, passivity and refusal to feed on people but mostly because of his sensitivity (a real double edged weapon), he being a kind of romantic philosopher in search of answers. Louis at the beginning of the book feels superior to his maker, he experiences vampirism as if it was the greatest experience he has ever had and the greatest adventure of his life, his 'vampire eyes' are for him to admire the beauty around him in his endless search of arts, aesthetics and human nature. Actually Louis believes that it is lestat and his rude, ignorant attitude to be the real peculiarity among vampires and that outside new orleans he could find many members of his species who share his love for knowledge and his sensitivity (even claudia, although she has many traits in common with Louis, cannot understand the motivation for his behavior and pain). But Lestat was right, many vampires are cruel solitary predators that don't need Louis and his reverence for books/art/moral principles, killing is basically their only belief. Louis, although at the beginning of the story could not know it, has always been the exception among his species, armand himself in iwtv affirms that he doesnt understand Louis, is a mistery to him. Lestat in tvl says that Louis is the most interesting, particular vampire he has ever met (even more than marius! and anne rice said that lestat is the person who understands Louis and his love for humanity the most) . So Louis had to implement a change to survive during and after the events of Paris and to the modern era. His feeling of spasmodic longing for human life had waned a lot, allowing him to find some semblance of stability and protection for his inner world. He becomes armand's reflection at the end of the novel, even colder and more dissociated than armand

Ao no Flag (SERIES FINALE SPOILERS!!)

Seriously, don’t read this if you are planning to read Ao no Flag. That being said, go read the manga now!!

Finally finished reading Ao no Flag and I have so many feelings. Non-coherent, rambly, messy feelings. I was looking at reactions online and what mainly boggles me about the reactions to the final 2 chapters is people being “how is Taichi suddenly gay??” My friend living on this big planet he never was (he’s bi). He most likely just realized it later in life. Did the events of his 3rd HS year help him figure it out? Heck yes. Is he suddenly bi? No.

Not all queer people pop out into this world and instantly know they are queer. Heck, it took me 23 years to figure that out. It’s not like Taichi instantly realized he likes Touma and started dating him. He knew Touma mattered to him somehow, but it took him multiple years to realize how, as evident by him maybe starting his relationship with Touma after 5 years when Touma contacted them all. He gained life experience and grew.

People go through a lot of learning, unlearning and growing. Especially if you are outside of societal expectations and norms. Taichi grew up learning to and wanting to blend in with society. “Be normal, don’t stand out too much”. Add to that low self-confidence and you feel stuck. Feel like there is only black and white. only one right answer to life. It can be very difficult to look out of this dark box, trust me, I had a tough time and sometimes still do. But it feels like Taichi thought and thought and pondered even back in high school and came to the decisions that he did.

And isn’t that what the series is about? growing as a person, making mistakes, learning, allowing yourself to be visible and vulnerable, and eventually, making choices, even if they don’t make sense to anyone else, and continuing to do so?

These two pages really hit me hard and I was wondering why. And then it hit me. This is possibly the happiest I’ve seen Taichi be since his childhood. Like genuinely happy. He’s reached max happiness points and is sharing those with Touma. He’s made his choices, and he’s happy. You can and are allowed to choose what or who makes you happy.

That’s all that matters.

The idea of people having so many theories about it amuses me to no end. Over the years the speculation could probably get really intense too- maybe people even write speculative fiction about it.

As for the mystery finally being solved like. One that’s hilarious. Two- would it be a whole event? Not just the fact there’s finally a building there and the whole process of it- but maybe Wanmin has the craziest opening ever with how much is going on in there Akskdkkfkf.

(And I love the idea of childe going from terrifying god warrior who beat down celestia to. Local mischievous cryptid. It reminds me of the bake danuki in Inazuma. He’s just a little guy your honor. Just a little fox.

foreigners: yeah they say liyue has this like- ultra-powerful god of destruction that put celestia in its place like thousands of years ago. how scary. i've heard that he also has an intelligence network of spies across the entirety of teyvat. i know it sounds so fake and tinfoil-hat conspiracty but i've heard it everywhere! and he's just there chilling? how do they not have a heart attack everytime he does anything...

liyue natives: yeah this is master childe. yeah he's a bit stupid. yeah he could kill us all if he wanted. yeah we love him. what do you mean he could cause armaggeddon? god forbid gingers do anything. how old is master childe-? too old for you AND he's married. stay away from our god, foreigners.

SEASON 23/24 ↳ FC Barcelona vs. Osasuna | 03.09.23

[son1c]

Sonic really going through it after being separated from shadow, and the anxiety of the possibility that Shadow might be gone (either permanently/mentally). Admitting that without him Sonic IS alone and the others aren’t really his friends. But recognizes there is some part of them on each different version like Halcyon.

Then Nine ( who is a version of his brother that never had someone ) loses his actual brother , Prism. A version of Shadow that was there for Nine. And all of this happens while Shadow was away

Sonic went through the horror of almost losing Shadow only to watch someone with his same face be murdered right in front of him. And unlike other instances this isn’t an “almost” , this happened and there is no way to fix it

Like the emotional wreckage of all of this

Anyways, Shadow walks into this mess like “hey guys done with my mission, did u know I’m left handed in another dimension?” Like 😭😭😭

everyone be quiet a true lovelynhead is speaking

listening to rqg 159 and alex describes how zolf would recognize wilde’s “eeerrghhhhh it has to do with touchy-feely emotions” face. yeh

[dollsome-does-tumblr]

something i really love about our flag means death, now that we know it's really done, is that i truly love every episode (every one, a perfect treasure to me!) and that i think the finale hits beautifully as an ending. i've endured so many finales that were such frustrating flop endings that they retroactively dimmed the whole series' shine for me, and it's lovely how that is not the case at all here. and even though i would have liked to see more for the supporting characters in particular, and even though ed and stede obviously have a ton more progress to make on themselves and their relationship, i feel like the main story -- ed and stede's story -- feels complete to me in a really rewarding way. i also like the structure of season one being stede's 'stupid puppet pulled it off!' season and season two being ed's; if it does have to be a show that only has two seasons, then that structure at least pleases me narratively!

and like, the story began when stede left his family to run away to sea, and it ends with him happily choosing to stay on land with the man who's his new family, and that just works for me as a beautiful full circle journey. 💗🏴‍☠️🦄
