During the main quests, this appears p often. It literally means "Jin's Journey":

But the kanji for "Jin" -- 仁 -- also means "benevolence," emphasizing a respect for humanity. So 仁之道, while it means "Jin's Journey," can also be read as "the path/way of benevolence."

He isn't following the bushido, or 武士道，the way of the warrior/samurai, but rather 仁之道, the way of benevolence, a path that diverts sharply from the "honor" that samurai follow.

A fan asks Eddie how he wooed Steve into dating him but before he can answer, Steve cuts in like, “One time I asked Eddie if he wanted to hold my hand and he cried. We weren’t even dating.”

Eddie:

Eddie, sputtering: You - you try waking up from what you thought was most certain death in a hospital and have a literal angel ask if he can hold your hand. It messes you up.

Eddie, gesturing to all of Steve: Look at him. Look at Steve now. He looks this good on a regular day now.

Eddie: Now imagine being twenty, high as fuck on painkillers and the governor publicly apologizing to you, and seeing *gestures to Steve again* him at nineteen during an irregular time in our lives. You’d cry too.

Eddie: Actually, I can just show you what I was dealing with

Steve: Eddie, that picture’s awful. Don’t show-

*Cuts to the worst picture that has ever been taken of either of them.

It’s a picture that Robin took on a disposable camera of Eddie in his hospital bed looking like death slightly warmed over but awake and smiling. Steve is standing next to the bed, shirtless with all his bruises and bites on display because he tore two stitches and was too stubborn to leave the room so a nurse was fixing them there.

Steve’s got a look on his face like he’s trying not to show pain and Eddie is giving the camera devil horns. They are holding hands.*

Who are Clone Troopers Rain and Prettyboy?

They are my and @omaano's tortured clone OCs (: so far they mostly exist in our DMs and our heads (and hearts), but you can see Rain in this art!

Rain is the trooper on the left giving Rex the stink eye 😂 as a long-suffering medic, that is basically their duty. They are reported KIA pretty early in the war, but post-O66, Prettyboy runs into them after being kidnapped by pirates - Rain was recovered by the crew, half-dead and paralysed from the waist down, but after some TLC and the construction of a hoverchair, they were as good as new and ready for more adventure!

Prettyboy is Rain's situationship from before they were reported KIA, and he used to live up to his name until he and the tank he operated got caught in an explosion. Omaano is working on a few concept sketches 👀 I do hope they will be posted publicly some day so we can show off our boy (gnc)! The left side of his face is pretty banged up though, and of course it gives them a whole complex - especially since they used to have a rivalry with Bug (yes, another OC) about who could score the most admirers in the battalion... Prettyboy is a mean, jealous, vain little thing, but we love him very much <3 as does Rain.

hi its me im the person who sent the metags ask yesterday ,,,, i have a kind of dumb au idea that mostly just originated from me and my friends joking about how ii is somewhat connected to pressure since (iirc?) It had a collab/crossover with bfdi, which had a collab with regretevator, which had a collab with pressure a while back

i need to think this out more but for now i was kinda thinking that maybe Steve Cobs. Has ties to Urbanshade and i dunno. sent the mephones down to the hadal blacksite post-lockdown (not sure who Sebastian would be in this case,,,? same with P.AI.nter.) but didn’t fully think it through when it came to how waterproof they are, seeing as the hadal blacksite is at the bottom of the ocean. and i was thinking that at some point, mephone4 trips and falls into the water, kinda leading to this au’s equivalent of the s1 finale cliff scene where mephone4S sacrifices himself for mephone4 (this group of expendables if i can still call them that consists of mephone4, mephone4S, and mepad. mayyybe 3GS but i was thinking that he could potentially be p.ai.nter..?)

kinda considering having mepad die along the way but at the same time,,,,,, i want them to have. A somewhat happy ending seeing how miserable this concept would already be if you consider what the ending of pressure means for sebastian and p.ai.nter ,,,

this is a really rough idea but i just kind of wanted to share it because why not . Yay. Please refrain from killing me with rocks

is there a reason for this apparent trend of Extreme Credulosity on the internet beyond the usual advertiser friendly/made for kids/eternal september/no-discretion-just-endless-content reasons... like i acknowledge i am not the target demo here but it seems very common these videos with the spooky scary thumbnail about how this media was BANNED omg what could it be and what it be's is like 30 years ago in the dark ages of mass media conservative christians had the power to take bloodhound gang off their radio stations because it was too off color for their tastes. like i think maybe this is only interesting to me because ive been around older/religious people so much so i hear the decline of society thing all the time and like accelerated degradation of social etiquette and taboo and Young People are all culturally relevant and hip and with it and savvy but it feels like wrapping back around to this like extreme wide eyed...ness... very disingenuous feeling very obviously for profit... like maybe in my mind im overstating the cultural relevance of rotten.com and it just feels like EVERYONE on the internet used to watch videos of the cartel torturing people to death and now EVERYONE only watches 30 pieces of lost childrens media found in 2025 [12:28:56] number 30 a reddit user posted about a show they couldnt remember about a blue dog who solbed mysteries and a comment suggested it was a show called blues clues Lost Media: Found. maybe the powers that be have enforced the dichotomy of content creator/content consumer in a 10/90 ratio because everyone acknowledging their capacity for creativity and self fulfillment is not profitable and they did it so well that it cultivates this feeling like we *are* running out of new things (even though we're not) so we take the campfire ghost story aesthetics of like a whang video on mr. hands and apply it to whatever the anticlimactic drama du jour is because this form of presentation is established even if we don't have actual content to justify such a presentation and we're just scraping the bottom of the barrel for ad sense, content wise. the other side of this coin is of course that uber savvy misanthropic irony poisoning is also still everywhere and the grand old tradition of white kids adopting aave to seem Worldly is alive and well so when they say "blud thought he ate with the top hat willy wonka ahh chile 😭 😭 " it sounds like everyone else is soooo gauche and naive and you see the top hat soooo often that everyone knows what you'retalking about. i think i understand that a little more as a cultural trend/defense mechanism where the gullibleness maybe i want to understand less because im afraid the answer is everyone buying wholesale into the modes of thought that make them good youtube viewers, or, if not enthusiastic conscious adoption of that kind of thinking just taking the path of least resistance because real life is so sucks right now. honestly most of the time it just feels like everyone is talking to nobody online and our little jokes and performances are always just whizzing over the shoulders of The Viewership so maybe none of this even matters whatsoever

ahh, don't mind me, y'all — i'm just thinking about how, in my canon, nico morselli (the doctor who blamore is allies with AND also is friends with but don't tell him that, shhh lol) was the first person that it actually learned to trust after it's transformation. and i say this because, in the first few months after it's transformation, it's nerve pain was actually even worse than it can be now. and due to how blamore's metabolism is different... nico felt like formulating a specific type of anti-convulsant for it's condition was the ideal option for blamore because there was a LOT of uncertainty around how much meds he should give it. so, in the meantime while nico worked on a drug that he knew wouldn't possibly O.D. it (man's also has some experience in biochemistry + he's also got a degree in that) those first few months were roughhh.

this is because he primarily used nerve blocks for it's pain which are actually injections that are given through the spine and as you all may know, blamore's spine is like a HUGELY sensitive spot for him. and so it doesn't let anyone it doesn't trust touch it + with this in mind, it didn't trust nico at first, but for an MD with some questionable patients (he's been the primary doctor of someone in the mob for years); nico actually seems to have his heart in the right place a good amount of the time because he comforted blamore every single time he gave him one of those injections 😭 because they never got any easier for blamore to take, and i don't mean nico just talked him through it, either. man's held it's hand and everything. and for that, he's a real one

mostly i want yaz to hit 14 because i think having the noble-temple family walk into the kitchen where hes trying to stop his nose from bleeding next to yaz standing there like a little sentient thunder cloud and having him jump in front of her in defense before anyone can say anything like "it's not her fault!" is just a really endearing image

📖 📞 and potentially 💕 for Lady Clef, i want to know about the toxic yuri event 👀

Hehe, the toxic yuri you say? There’s a couple spicy interesting dynamics there, I tell you what. We’ll get to that later…

(I’ll start calling Lady Clef by her real name, Madeleine Norvellaire, btw)

📞 : Are they associated with any canon characters? Who and why?

So, the thing is, the detective protagonist of the event, Gaëlle, associates Lady Clef with Manus Vindictae. And to be fair, she isn’t too unreasonable for this, since Norvellaire does know Arcana, and has even been invited to join her before. But, she declined that offer, which happened years ago.

The character she’s actually associated with is a man by the name of Ringmaster; Who, I suppose isn’t a canon character, but he fits as being associated with Madeleine a little better than Tennant and Centurion, who she’s simply friends with. I’ve very briefly mentioned Ringmaster before, but he’s essentially the owner of a famous circus and casino, and he’s helped Madeleine out of a sticky situation in her past.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I’m pretty sure I’ve done 📖 last time, but I can definitely expand on Lady Clef’s event a little more (if that’s what you meant). Last time, I ended off on her character story pretty quickly, so I’ll cover that this time.

So for Lady Clef’s character story, it reveals more about how her personality turned out this way, as her parents had a big influence on her thinking processes. Growing up in a family filled with deception and infidelity, she was simply a trophy that needed to stay pretty for the next beauty pageant; a source of pride who’s used like a drug. Her personality goes through a couple major shifts (fearfully obedient, to cold and jaded, to her current cunning self), which is shown in the different parts of the story. But hey! She went from being taken advantage of for her looks, to using her looks to take advantage of others! So good for her!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

💕: Do you ship them with any characters, canon or otherwise? Who and why?

Okay, TOXIC YURI TIME! There’s three characters that Norvellaire is shipped with atm: (as you’ve probably guessed) Tennant, Centurion, and Gaëlle.

“You’re such a tease, my lady. Don’t you get tired of it?”

“If it means I get such priceless results, why would I waste the opportunity?”

So, let’s start with the double toxic yuri, cuz why not? Oh these two are complicated, but they were kinda meant to meet at some point, y’know? It’s a game recognizes game situation, where both Lady Clef and Tennant are just throwing their player tricks at each other to see who breaks first. Though, a major part of their dynamic is how Norvellaire likes to outsmart Tennant’s flirtatious lines to frustrate her, since she’s always so calm and polite “She can’t possibly play good forever.” They’re many things to each other (which will take too long to explain fully), but to put it very simply, they’re in a situationship, since they’ve kept each other around for way longer than their dozens of other lovers (To the point where they’ve kept track of some of each other’s lovers, just to ask about them like they’re pets or smth. It’s a whole thing).

“Aren’t you afraid I’m stealing your spotlight, darling?”

“No. I’m afraid you won’t steal more than that.”

Next up, we have Lady Clef’s other situationship, which is with Centurion. They know each other through fame and- well, being at Ringmaster’s casino (it’s a given). Norvellaire knows that she’d never win when playing against Centurion, so she only accepts one game with her (with a side of flirty banter) if she receives her enthusiastic invitation. And Norvellaire doesn’t even gamble that often, which essentially makes her attention a gamble on its own, which Centurion obviously likes. Yeah, that’s kind of their dynamic honestly. It’s a very confident chaser of a prize that never stays for long; And in that sense, Lady Clef is the kind of danger that Centurion craves.

“And why should I trust you?”

“You’re a sharp shooter, aren’t you? I’ll let you take a couple shots where it hurts…if I turn out a traitor. I promise I won’t even fight back.”

And lastly, we’ve got the classic detective x femme fatale, enemies to lovers film noir trope between Gaëlle and Lady Clef. In the main event, Lady Clef is Gaëlle’s top suspect for the case she’s working on. But, Lady Clef is still a big flirt, even in the face of a literal detective accusing her of crime…and it’s working? Yes, she’s made Gaëlle more hostile towards her, but she’s also made her start to question her entire being for finding her actions enticing and not knowing what to do about it (aka she gave Gaëlle the most confusing gay awakening of her life). Their dynamic is essentially the definition of this meme audio, where Gaëlle’s just over here like:”You…evil woman! You can’t just get away with…this!”, then proceeds to let her get away with exactly that. (They do join forces after a lot of push and pull tho)

(Now two of the playlists from this post makes a lot more sense, doesn’t it?)

I introduce- Lord Wěn Chàng! I swear he's nicer than he looks lol. Wen is a warrior through and through, having spent most of his adult and adolescent life learning and practicing the ways of combat. Despite his marred expression and grisly lifestyle Wen remains optimistic and carries an almost carefree attitude, always being the one to lift up his fellow soldiers and think up unorthodox methods to victory. Having worked his way up the ranks- Wen is adaptable and goes with the flow, which is good! Because his life just got a lot more complicated now that he's been adopted by the Emperor for his military achievements... to then be married off to demons for peace... yeah. But at least he had his trusty head maid and best friend Lianhe and his close companion Macaque, right? :)
