for all the oversaturation of the genre i do still think otome isekai is one of the funniest fucking story tropes out there. i'm watching Villainess Level 99 and like, the king and queen are like "oh my Yumiella must have gotten such a high level of magic because she was alone and had no one to depend on :'(" and like, if this was a normal fantasy, that very well could have been the case.

however this is an isekai and the real answer to why Yumiella's level is so high is because she's a gamer.

If I tell you this is a horror dance number it still won't prepare you. That last move was so terrifying even the judge was like "Let go! Let go!" If you told me they're actually possessed I'd believe you.

One of the most perfectly choreographed and executed dances I have ever seen and comes closest to Shobana's original performance in Manichitrathazhu. Incredible!

It is with the deepest frustrations that I must report Microsoft has pushed out Copilot onto Microsoft Word no matter what your previous settings were. If you have Office because you paid for it/are on a family plan/have a work/school account, you can disable it by going to Options -> click on Copilot -> uncheck 'Enable Copilot'.

(Note, you may not see this option if you haven't updated lately, but Copilot will still pop up. Updating should give you this option. I will kill Microsoft with my bare hands.)

In addition, Google has forced a roll-out of it's Gemini AI on all American accounts of users over 18 (these settings are turned off by default for EU, Japan, Switzerland, and UK, but it doesn't hurt to check).

To remove this garbage, you must go to Manage Workspace smart feature settings for all your Gmail/Drive/Chat and turn them off. Go to Settings -> See all settings -> find under "Genera" the "Google Workspace smart features" -> turn smart feature setting off for both Google Workspace and all other Google products and hit save. (If you turned off the smart settings in your Gmail, it never hurts to open Drive and double-check that they're set to off there too.)

Quick Edit: I found the easiest way to get to the Smart Feature settings following the instructions above was to do it through Drive. Try that route first.

Now is the time to consider switching to Libre Office if you haven't already.

Me realizing that since Alicia often is forced to do things she doesn’t want to to make the plot advance, she’s eventually gonna start attacking Yumiella without wanting to, and it’ll be at the peak of their friendship and care for each other that this happens and she literally won’t be able to stop, and she also doesn’t stand a chance against Yumiella

I just binged Dandadan in 2 days and AUGHAGH ITS SO GOOD but on top of all the other subversions of common tropes people are pointing out, I noticed that theres sort of a role switcheroo with Momo and Okarun!

Like, Momo is this brash character who gets introduced by trying to kick her shitty ex in the face. Okarun is, obviously, a big ol nerd. In most other series, you might expect Momo to be the muscle and Okarun to be the brains, so to speak. But in every fight (at least in the anime so far), Momo is the planner and Okarun is the enacter.

She's the one who figures out enemy tricks and how to outsmart them-- tricking Nessie into breaking its own arms, grabbing the mannequin's heart, getting the sumo alien to touch the ground-- and is often heralded as a genius by Okarun for doing so. She's clever, knowledgeable, and quick-witted as hell.

On the other hand, Okarun has a wealth of knowledge about cryptid trivia but it basically never comes into play in the fight itself bc its... cryptid trivia. Its not accurate, much less deadly. Instead, he is fast as fuck and continually trains to get even stronger and better. He has the self discipline and motivation to keep pushing himself not only during fights, but every day in between.

And its not that Momo ISNT physically aggressive and bold, and its not that Okarun ISNT intelligent and calculated. These just arent their main strengths when theyre really put to the test.

Neither of these traits are the strengths you would expect from these characters from their looks and the tropes they play off, but they are theirs nevertheless.
