Pfftt, that's really how it came off. Love that for her. Mostly because she just sat back and let shit happen to prove her point.

Kotoko's teaser line is sooo

"That's what it feels like to lose something precious to evil. Acknowledge me! Es! Your anger and sorrow - I'll return them to you!"

Like come on now.

Discussing if people ever stopped arguing over if Mikoto was faking or not is kind of funny to ke. Because every issue he's had has stemmed from people not believing him. Like it just evolved from blantantly stating or questioning if he was faking to invalidating the character entirely by saying the illustration of DID in his narrative was inaccurate based on the number of alters or how the issues he had with it presented themselves. Everyone was always on some level questioning if he really had it or was faking. To the point when the series hard confirmed he had it trial two fans had to start doing corrective work to make him accurate and valid in their eyes. It's tiring that people are really acting like the discussion ever moved very far from if he was faking when the audience consistently found more and more reasons as to why he didn't fit into the mold of what having dissociative identity disorder looked like.

A lot of this sounded like people saying you can't have x you do y so well. He can't have DID because he does y or doesn't have x. When did the accusations of faking actually stop. When did people ever stop scrutinizing him canonically having this. People can accept other characters who haven't been stated to have it in the work having this but not him. I really think people should start interrogating why that is but I'm pretty sure I know why.

Fuck it I'm getting a drink.

I love how this place will blame anyone for how the characters' narratives are going as long as it means we never have to interrogate what the fans choose to focus on. The trial three teaser showcases how much the milgram staff has been looking into not only the characters' verdicts but the arguments for them.

The focus on abortion was what fans and Es choose to hone in on. The focus on bullying online and off is what fans decided to focus on for Futa and Mu. The idea the crimes were suicides and miscommunications were what fans decided to hone in on for Kazui and Mahiru. The idea that Mikoto was faking was what the fanbase presented from jump for Mikoto.

This is exactly why Jackalope said,

"...Just be careful of the consequences, that's not my responsibility."

MILGRAM/Jackalope's "This is the Milgram" 3:36s

Milgram took shape in response to Es'/the audiences' thoughts on everything presented. Milgram gave back what was put in. All the things touched on in the series I've seen so far have been responses to the fans speculations and statements.

For that attention to detail to be treated as a writing failure instead of the glaring societal issues Milgram has managed to point out simply through existing as a work is wild. Honestly, look into this fandoms history. If you're new, if anyone did that, they would quickly see how things got to this point. Milgram as it is now is a reflection of the fanbase it has and their collective choices.

I think a lot of people are finding it difficult to accept that.

Milgram but it's Mob100 AU

-----------------------------

Brief summary of the characters.

Es: A very strong esper, once came to Shidou to become his student, and stayed as part-time worker. They knows perfectly well that Shidou has no psychic powers, but cleverly avoids this conversation.

Shidou: After his family died, he quit the clinic he worked it and decided to open his small massage buisness. He's very bad artist so his advertisement attracts people not only for massage, but also for the exorcism of evil spirits. Tries to tell his student that he has no psychic powers.

Amane: Es' younger sister. She is very attached to Es since they met in the shelter after losing their families and have become family to each other. Feels betrayed after Es found a part-time job and another person they can trust. Wants to wake up her psychic powers so she can keep up with Es.

Jakalope: A murky spirit of unclear origin whose Es prevented to arrange the sect and involve Amane in it. Wants to conquer the world and arrange it whole in a trial. He took Amane’s body to avenge Es and awakened her power as an esper.

Mahiru: A care-taker who took Es and Amane under her care. She had long ago wanted to take custody of the child from the orphanage with her boyfriend. But long after his death finally decided to take care of the two children (they were in a package) Does a lot to make sure the children have anything they need. Perhaps too much. Neither Es nor Amane are used to it at all. But after a while they did trust her.

Mahiru's Boyfriend: He died, but forgot why he died and stayed with the person about whom he had at least some memory. Almost got taken away because Es' first reaction to ghosts is banishment. Lives with Mahiru and the children as another member of the family, even if he's invisible. Was very happy that now not only Es can see him.

Yuno: Es' Sempai in school and an their example for emulating. Not an esper, but good at hiding from people what they don't need to know and behaves as a typical schoolgirl. She act's normal. Es wants to be normal.

Fuuta: Esper, who decided that if he had the power, he could bring justice to the masses. Was instantly one-shoted by Es and their great power, after which he reflected on life and decided to make friends with Es.(guess for whom this all the AU was made)

Kotoko: She was a lawyer, but her activities put her family at risk first, and then herself too, which eventually led to her death. After that she became an evil spirit and started her vigilante activity. When she started to needed a material body, she found Muu.

Mu: A rich girl posessed with evil spirit Kotoko.

Haruka: Muu's stepbrother. Was the one who found Shidou and Es (Shidou's terrible advertisement works perfectly)

Kazui: Esper that couldn't prevent the death of his wife and then plunged into a great depression. Repeated Serizawa's plot-path.

Kayano twins: Telepath brothers from the espers club that Amane entered after awakening.

------------------------

Little pearls I did while I wrote this AU:

Shidou: Es-kun, this is important I don't have... [The deafening sound of the train in the background]

Es: What did you say teacher? We run out of tea for customers? I'll go buy some right now. [evaporates]

Shidou: It's not that I wanted to say, Es-kun...

Neighbors: Mahiru-san, where did you get such a cute little rabbit balloon? We saw your children with it.

Mahiru: I didn’t buy any balloons? Oh! Did they feel relaxed enough to buy a balloon?! We need to celebrate that! [This evening, Es and Amane find the whole house packed with balloons]

Shidou: Es-ku.. [his cup is cracking in half] … Es-kun, I want... [something runs past the window]… ask you to buy some apples..

Es, already on the low start to interrupt the teacher and change the subject, freezes with their mouth open on the half-term: Ah, okay.

You, a fool, when characters state different or contradictory things about backstory events or how the world works: This is a plot hole!

Me, wise, enlightened: Not so, neophyte. Have you considered all the exhaustive possibilities in which one of these characters simply has no idea what they are talking about, or better yet, is a fucking liar?

Today on this blog other than dyscalculia winning my victories have been many it has just been and I was right about that, I seem to be right about that- I got a snippet of how Mikoto and everyone is doing Kotoko is still on her emotional manipulation trip and boy howdy I love, love, love how the more things change the more they stay the same. I'm super happy that the prisoners are still themselves. It wouldn't be fun any other way.
