[the-judicial-assistants-notebook]

I see your tags on the Wocky and Alita art, I would love to hear your thoughts on Alita actually!

I only need one person to show interest in what I have to say for me to talk forever and ever, thank you. HAHA Okay, in seriousness, this won't be as thorough/long as the Klavier post because... there really isn't much to her, but I find it extremely interesting how Alita falls into the same category of witnesses as April May and Dahlia without being — and I mean no offence to her when I say this — stunning? Like, with April and Dahlia, there's a very clear mass appeal to them which most people point out. Contrariwise, Alita's appearance is really only commented on by Trucy, and just glancing at her portrait, you can see that, without her slightly outlandish fashion, she's frankly nothing to write home about.

So why am I discussing this? Surely it's a little reductive to analyse female characters beginning with their appearances? Usually, yes, but that's the thing about this category of witnesses: their pretty faces aren't just pretty faces.

For April and Dahlia, their beauty is part of their arsenal. It functions as both their defence and their weapon of choice; they know how to wield it to bring people under their heel. Alita being ordinarily pretty instead of drop-dead gorgeous deprives her of that weapon and leads you to wonder how she became a mafia heiress to begin with. It also parallels her to Mimi Miney in a way that goes beyond the 'murderous nurse who worked for and killed her awful boss' comparison you get on the surface. Presumably, Alita, like Mimi, only got to where she was because she managed to fool the people around her into believing she was less dangerous than she actually is. Mimi did this by feigning stupidity and inviting people to underestimate her. Alita seems to do this by showing them what they want to see.

When she first meets Apollo and Trucy, Alita stays quiet and spends more time listening to them than she does talking. Once she has a hold on who they are, then she slips into her persona, and I find it interesting how she doesn't even attempt to come across as particularly delicate or lovelorn? Instead she goes for the relatively typical role of a distressed, indulgent loved one earnestly entreating Apollo for help. I'm inclined to say she does this because her read on Apollo makes her realise that he'd likely be exasperated or annoyed by such a person; but it's also almost as if she knows she doesn't have the disposition to pull off that frail, damsel-in-distress archetype and has resigned herself to being ordinary. Like how she looks. The next time she has to reapply her persona, Alita's appearing in court, and again she makes subtle adjustments that best suit her situation. The judge is old, so she takes a chance on expressing her dedication as a wife while balancing her dedication as a righteous citizen, which works. But oddly enough, despite her successes, I don't think Alita is actually good? At donning disguises? Everyone I've seen discuss this case has been able to guess almost immediately that she's the culprit, and maybe we're just prepped by past characters like her that have appeared, but I don't think she's even that convincing in the game.

Both the identities she assumes are risky manoeuvres that happen to fall in her favour, and she's not particularly dedicated to maintaining the front. When she asks Apollo to be Wocky's defence, she admits that marrying him is largely a chance at a more exciting life than some great love story; Plum Kitaki straight up says that there's a darkness in Alita she doesn't like, despite how docile Alita behaves in front of her; and Wocky has moments where he slips up and calls her things like, "imposter" and "fallen angel", implying that at least subconsciously, he knows she's not what she makes herself out to be. Even her general mannerisms don't greatly differ between her actual self and the mask who's blunt her claws — nothing is ever overtly coy or cutesy — and when Apollo brings up the fact she was Wocky's nurse, she drops the facade almost immediately. There's no waffling, no, "Whatever do you mean?"s or, "You're scaring me"s, just the statement, "I don't know what you mean by 'meaning', Mr. Justice!" delivered in a sudden cool, frosted steeliness.

And I think that steel is what really makes her different.

See, the other women are all driven to crime by some defining trait in themselves caused by their circumstances. For Dahlia, it's her desperate need to be free of the Fey clan; for Mimi, it's grief over her sister's unjust death; and for April, it's her fear of Redd White. You don't really get that with Alita. Instead of there being something dark in her life that leads her down this path, she just seems... tired. Tired of being "pretty enough" but not "gorgeous", tired of being the obedient nurse to the corrupt doctor, tired of being ordinary. There's no predatory external force pushing her into a corner, there's no abusive family beliefs pinning her down. There's just an ordinary life, lived dull and ordinarily, and she had had enough. So what does this girl, who's tired and ordinary in every way except the steel that lines her spine, do to get out of this?

She gambles.

Marrying into the mafia was a gamble, seeking Apollo as council was a gamble, shooting Dr. Meraktis was a gamble. Every decision she's made since she met Wocky has been a series of high-stakes gambles that leave her life on the line all so she won't be second-best anymore. This time, she was going to be the one on top. No matter what.

... And I'm sorry for loving evil women, but girlboss?? Girlboss???

I've heard people say they're disappointed that her "breakdown" is just an extension of her usual damage sprite, but it's honestly one of my favourite "breakdowns" in the series ever? Just because it isn't really one? Everything Alita has done up till now has been reckless, calculated risk, of course being convicted for murder is no different than losing in any other aspect of her life. Of course you're not going to get more than her damaged sprite, because this doesn't warrant a more dramatic reaction. She's lived this whole time knowing it could all come crashing down around her, and it finally did.

She made a bad bet. You caught her. Oh well.

The frosted girl of steel, standing tall to the very end. It's kind of sad that, even after all that, she's still seen as only second-best, incomparable to mimi, dahlia or any of the other women who've stood in her place.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎂

(Cat says happy birthday too)

OMG CRIESSS 💗💗💗

thank you for seeing the cutest fluff ball…

have my old lady as a thank you, who likes to sleep on socks

[oooohno]

he makes the rings himself???? 😭😭😭😭 oh nana why am I beside myself at this he loves u so much wow

how does it go when he gives your ring to you? that is the most romantic thing ever

Thank you so much for asking 🥺 I mean look at how much effort and dedication he puts into forging Tanjiro’s sword! Once he realizes and accepts his love for his partner he would never let someone else create something so personal that’s meant to last forever 💕

Since he isn’t the best with words or with grand gestures and he’s struggling with knowing when to stop working and perfecting he waits way too long to propose and doesn’t actually give it to me himself. I find him fast asleep in his workshop in the early morning hours. I see the rings and try the smaller one on bc it’s too pretty to resist touching. And that’s the moment he wakes up bleary eyed and I tell him how stunning it is & he sleep-drunkenly says ‘good. because it’s yours’.

[cashweasel]

🏨 gimme those blorbo rooms fdsfdsfsfsd, since it’s Pinterest can I ask for more than one? XD if so ima ask to Karimas and Shaheens OH and also Gideons (low key I know what valens/yazans looks like but its a good excuse for u to get to share) so if u want to Valens and Yazans wild be fun 😌

K BYEEE <3 😘

LOLL im glad you asked and yes i will give you all of them 😌😂😂

Karima: she’s obsessed with collecting room decor and she has a crochet corner, half of her decor is crocheted too honestly 😂 I think she also has a thing for animal print stuff esp curtains and pillow cases, she’d keep small ceramics stuff she made with daemon everywhere

Shaheen: idk why it was funny to imagine his college dorm lol he uses space very efficiently also his desk is very important 🧠

Gideon: his room is so big and so empty but he’s barely home so who cares, the only notable thing about it besides the diabolical toys collection on display is the display cabinet he keeps all his medals, plane models, pictures, uniforms etc in

Yazan: yazan’s room as you know is a Dumpster 😂 it’s impossible to find anything in there and it’s never tidy, also so many posters and records + ofc drum corner

Valen: very pretty but his room is an entire house in itself you need directions to where everything is 💀 Texas king bed with a canopy, mirror above bed/on ceiling, maximalist unique decor and very beautifully coordinated color wise. Also huge portraits of himself obviously lol

Popping in to wish you a happy Shaperil and ask. . . What is Corey Cunningham's best kill?

hi toxic, happy shaperil !! 🎃🔪 and thank you for the question !!

i love all of corey's kills, of course. all of them mean something special to him and to his story. he put his whole pussy into all of his kills because those people deserved it.

but to answer your question, i'm very partial to the corkscrew kill for dr. mathis, if only for how sloppy it is, plus i am a silly scarecrow stan above all else. this kill is corey's first outing as a killer without michael (for now), and i feel like the improvised weapon and sloppy execution are fitting for corey who is trying to regain control. sure, it's not perfect, but he doesn't need it to be perfect, he need the job done 💪 i am deeply obsessed as well with the shot of the scarecrow after deb turns the light on, those big expressionless eyes and stupid smile looking up at her. there's something about the movement, or how we don't see the whole movement, that gives major uncanny valley.

however, i think corey bludgeoning stacy is a very underrated kill. there's just something about the brute strength he shows that gets to me. with a knife it's different, it's hands on but it's cleaner in a way, sliving into someone, but the wrench is blunt and heavy. and corey does not hold back with swinging it. it's on of his more brutal kills in my opinion, and i love imagining what he was thinking, what he looked like when he was doing this truly merciless act.

and i wouldn't be a devoted member of the joan cunningham hate club if i didn't mention her death too. although it isn't really shown on screen (besides the deleted scene) i am obsessed with thinking about it's context and emotional implications. joan not knowing it's corey, corey finally getting rid of the person he both loved and hated most in the world, joan begging for corey to be safe and corey knowing it's too fucking late.

I am so fucking glad and relieved you liked my edit because it means a lot to me I can give a proper chance to Chinese gay shows

I was nervous before starting before this show because I have started untamed 3 times and gave up because I am like why is this not moving ahead and couldn't remember people's names and had to identify their house colors - sorry for the rant - I hate leaving shows in between - going back to the meet you at the blossom, if you didn't tell about the production, no of episodes and stuff like that, I'd just have dismissed at as "oh another wonderful looking Chinese drama I can't finish if I even start" so thank youuu again

i adore it Krish 🥺 Huaien under the moonlight is so special to me (maybe because of Lele's fanboying over the moon jdkhdks)

understandable, 50 episodes in one go is not for everyone!! you do start memorising names faster after you watch further and some cultural shock wears off though. like just a few days after myatb announcement last month and i was already typing all characters and actors' names out in tags from hand cause tumblr wouldn't remember them djdhjd, and still doesn't

really lovely to know my info blogging about it bore fruit and got you into it 💕

i myself wish that myatb would have 50 or 100 episodes though...... having a panic attack just thinking about it ending in a week, it was the most beloved happiest show of mine life and i can't imagine not being able to look forward to more of it 😭😰😖

To be honest, as disappointed as I am by it, I highly doubt Firebrand and Thunderhand will ever be in the movieverse aside from a possible reference.

I get what you are saying; but I am still holding out hope as I want it so bad!

If they can introduce obscure characters like the penguins, and Foreman Spike (a character that was in ONE game way back in the 80s - and yet still got a pretty integral role), I have confidence that the team will pull from some more stuff like this, and maybe in some way, include the hand powers.

How they go about it depends on where they take the story...but here are some ideas on how they can make it similar to the game!

spoilers for Superstar Saga

In the game, the Bros come across the Sun and Moon temples, where they meet the Sun and Moon gods who grant them the hand powers respectively (Mario Firebrand, and Luigi Thunderhand).

The game doesn't give any explanation as to why these gods just give away these powers to these two random strangers (not that I can recall at least), but they could explain it in the movie verse!

Suppose that the Bros adventure in the Beanbean Kingdom (or another place - or even just the Mushroom Kingdom again), and during the journey they come across the Sun and Moon Temples. Both the gods recognise the courage of these new heroes, and decide that they are worthy - but only after they complete a test!

Ooh here's an idea - perhaps the test that the Sun and Moon gods put them through is one where both brothers have to save the other! They are shown their worst fears (like a dreamscape or something similar), and they have to prove their courage in order to save the one they love the most. It will be a perfect scene full of emotion and angst 😁

Do with this idea as you please, my fellow Mario fans! Write your fanfics!

The explanation as to why the Bros each get their respective hand powers can be put down to the powers reflecting their inner selves (also have mentioned it here):

Fire represents for Mario that he is passionate at what he does and what he feels. The love he feels for his brother, his family, and friends burns so deep and is primary the core of his being. Of course, these emotions can give way to him being a spit-fire. When upset or determined, his fire burns and never stops until he succeeds or he's calmed down.

Lightning on the other hand is different. It's powerful, but unlike fire it momentarily shows itself and then goes away, and it only forms under certain atmospherically changes. That represents Luigi. He is often quiet, and rarely chooses to physically fight - but when he does, when the situation changes...it hits hard! Like the moment he saved Mario from Bowser's fire with the manhole cover - it's Luigi's loyalty and bravery that becomes his inner power.

- - -

Here's some more ideas they could do with the Firebrand, and Thunderhand in the movie verse:

- During some down time, after some battles, the Bros get the same idea (not even talking they just both mentally communicate) to try something new with their powers. If they can be used in battle...can they be used in other ways...?

So Mario gently cups Luigi's hands in his, and makes a small flame. It sparks up through not only his hand, but also Luigi's - and it doesn't cause his brother pain! Luigi gasps in wonder at the beauty and the warmth of this flame. After briefly meeting Mario's eyes, Luigi follows suit and creates a small spark. Both gasp and smile in excitement at this beautiful combination ❤️️💚

- Mario makes campfires very easily with his Firebrand.

- Luigi can mess with electrical equipment and entire electrical panels.

- Luigi can read the electrical impulses in people's hearts, in order to read their heart rates (he can also read/sense any electrical currents in the air).

- Mario's Firebrand in battle is mostly used for pure power.

- Luigi can use his Thunderhand for defence (electrical shields around himself and others).

sending hugs! anything related to college is stressful and scary but you're trying your best and it'll all work out <33 remember to take it easy on yourself and focus on the next step in front of you :)

Thank you so much!!! You are so kind 💗💗💗I really hope it works out too 😭 I feel bad for stressing everyone around me cause of this mess.

I really needed to hear all of that to be honest. I’ve been lax on myself, but not at the same time. It’s a day of “yay, it’s over” and then another problem arises. I just wish my future was like what I had pictured it to be, but so many things got in the way, and it’s been overwhelming trying to salvage it all together again. And writer’s and reader’s block has made it so much harder lol, so yeah. Math makes me sad and I gotta take another math test 💀 it is what it is I guess. Hopefully it’ll be worth it, and I’ll pass!

Thank youuu again 🫂🫂🫂 hugs to you as well! I’m so happy you got the tickets!!! And even though I’ve never been to a concert, I feel like you’ll still enjoy it, no matter where you’re at because of the vibes, the people, and the music! And maybe try all the camera tricks to zoom in up close, cause some of them are genuinely so clear, haha! And maybe everything happens for a reason, and this one was a blessing in disguise (I’ve been trying to think of lots of things this way)! I hope you have tons of fun there!

[sunsetsandsunshine]

So i read "just say you're sorry" and what i thought what could be a potential angst story turned out to be one of the best one-shots ever!

I kid you not i couldn't stop smiling - my cheeks hurt/pos - and i was giggling and laughing at the two, it made me happy because i was used to get tickled by my older siblings and god it was a torture and fun at the same time.

I loved how long the one-shot was because i can enjoy and laugh 😆

Thank you so much for writing this masterpiece ❤🧡💙💜

OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OHHHHH MYYYY GOSSSSHHHH 💓💗💕🩷💖💝💘💞‼️‼️‼️

First things first…thank you so much for sending this in 😭🫶🏾?????? I was feeling really bad and insecure about my writing this week so for you to send this in my inbox made my heart just ✨🌟⭐️💫⚡️!!!

MY HEART SKYROCKETED I KID YOU NOT!!!

But the more I think about it…the more I think I should maybeeeee change the title of that fic 😅💔! It does sound kind of angsty like you mentioned even though that was not my intention whatsoever lolololololol

Anywhizzle, I’m really happy the fic reminded you of fun times with your older siblings and I’m extremely happy that the fanfiction made you smile and laugh 🥹💗🩷💕! My main goal with my stories is to just…let the readers enjoy it to whatever extent they please ☺️✨🩷🫶🏾!!!!!

Hiya, Aoly!! :3 I hope you've been doing well!! I randomly wanted to share this one dialogue from Gus in 1.6 Flower Dance Update because it reminded me of Ao when Gus said about dandelions, and I feel like she would love to eat this!! 🥺✨

I know Ziana would, too! And if Ao would eat it then I imagine Ao and Ziana would eat these together first thing when Gus said that, hehe :3 This is just something random coming into my mind 😅I love Ao dearly, hehe <3

(I'm not sure if she does, actually. I'm sorry if I didn't catch her personality well 😭 I just wanted to share that there is a dandelion mentioned, and it was so exciting for me to share with you 💕 Have a good day!! 💕)

OMGGG HIIIIIII NIM!!!!!!!!

Thank you very much for the ask! AND OMG IT'S SO CUUUUUUTE!!! I REALLY DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THIS DETAIL FROM THE UPDATE! And I'm so happy that it reminded you of Ao, AND YOU KNOW, THE IDEA THAT AO AND ZIANA COULD EAT TOGETHER IS SO WONDERFULLLL💕💕💕
