i hope they fight (can’t read past this point)

Does geto have an ideal type and what is it? 🥺🥺

Any traits he would find desirable in a partner? Like being a sorcerer, being kind, caring etc…

OOOH????? 👀👀👀

hmmmmmmmmmm hm hm. well.

to start with i do think he’s drawn to people who are kind :3 on a deeper level, y’know? someone with an inherent sense of care or justice even if they don’t always seem like they do…. maybe especially if they don’t seem like they do?? i could see him falling hard for someone he can’t get a good read on. someone with a lot more to them than what meets the eye… he’d get captivated pretty quickly <3333

as for being a sorcerer or not!!! this one is tough because like …. with satoru and shoko i genuinely think they would be better off with a non-sorcerer. but i feel like maybe suguru is the opposite? 😭 he’d be overprotective either way but with a non-sorcerer it’s wayyyy worse . it could get a little… suffocating? infantilizing? he doesn’t mean any harm but i think his intense sense of duty would end up holding you both back. suguru needs someone he can see as an equal, someone he’ll trust to bear even a tiny bit of his burden, (even if he doesn’t want them to) and… with a non-sorcerer i doubt that’s possible. :’)

….. unless you’re his childhood friend, or something.

Dungeon Meshi rewatch ep 10 notes

so I always play the intro and outro because I love them so much and another thing caught my eye that might be nothing but is there a reason the women and men are reaching up, with Falin and Laios the ones in the center, and then them grasping hands? it feels meaningful anyway

ah it's the frog costumes ep hahahaha

they've reached the stairs they have to take to reach the 5th basement floor, near the orc's settlement (where the orc leader told them the red dragon was seen, hanging out and causing problems)

but the staircase is filled with tentacles so they can't just stroll down lol

Chilchuck is upset bc the tentacles mess with traps making it even harder to disarm them

KENSUKE SHOOK ALERTING THEM AGAIN but Laios didn't react fast enough and poor Kensuke got SNATCHED by froggy bad froggy let Kensuke go!

LOTS of notes for ep 10 so imma cut it off here

aw bye bye Kensuke (and Marcille's staff is called Ambrosia bye bye Ambrosia)

lol Senshi calling Chilchuck a kid again

he saves the day by using frog skin to wrap his hands so that tentacles don't hurt him smart kid hehe (sorry Chilchuck)

Marcille's weakness as a fashion girlie exposed lol

THEY'VE REACHED THE 5TH FLOOR castle town

lol the frog skin is stuck to them hahaha

(Chilchuck and Senshi's faces tho akjfiashioaghoa they look like Russian dolls help)

Namari gets motion sickness from the return spell portal thingie (bitch, same, that would totally be me, I get motion sickness from walking a little faster lol)

ahhh right right grumpy mcpants works for the "lord of the island" (ig the dungeon is on "his land"?)

hmmmmmmmmmm dwarf mines you say 👀 is that how Senshi got into the dungeon before it officially got discovered?

anyways, he's suggesting to the haughty looking dude to deploy troops in order to take care of the orc "problem"

hm lord haughtypants calls dwarfs "abominable" and says they're like moles

OH LORE ok let's see

so the dwarfs and elves were at war (no reason stated) and

not sure what that means exactly but I'm guessing the elves went to the west and the dwarfs to the east?

the dwarfs hid in the lands (where haughtypants is a lord now ig) and waited for the elves, and even after the war they continued to dig tunnels WHICH ALLEGEDLY SWALLOWED THE GOLDEN CITY AND TURNED IT INTO A DUNGEON wait wasn't that the dark evil crazy magician's work (allegedly)? hmmmmm interesting

he also says that the surviving dwarfs are responsible for the dungeon's continued expansion

grumpy mcpants says (his name is Mr Tansu just in case you think I am using the dumb nickname bc I don't remember) that rumor can't be trusted

ok so he copied a magical circle, I'm guessing before they met Senshi & friends bc afterwards they just bailed right? and it's in elvish, the same individual as before

AHA so his theory is that the crazy evil magician is an elf and these magical circles are his work, interesting (he says the work is beyond the abilities of dwarfs and tall-men)

OH EVEN MORE STUFF wow how did I manage to miss all this I'm such a clown

anyway, the western elves are sending letters now being like "the dungeon is ours we want it back" (well, our "heritage" is what they said, which is interesting bc weren't the king and Delgal tall-men?)

oh EVEN MORE INFO so they won the war with the dwarfs? bc they took the land from them and gave it to humans bc they apparently "didn't know what to do with it" (their king granted it himself even)

this evil magician, if it is an elf the only one I can think of is the crazy eyes elf from the living paintings, so I wonder if it has something to do with him

lordy mcislandpants doesn't want to give them back the island bc he wants the treasure that must still be in the depths of the dungeon lol

MAN we're getting so much lore and theories and everything now, the hamster in my brain is being pushed to his limits

grumpy mcpants says that the elves aren't after the treasure but the immortality spelll that's been cast on the dungeon (that does seem more valuable lol)

he tells mr lord to get his hands on the blueprint of the spell before they do and then he'll finally be treated as an equal, or even their superior

he says the lord of the dungeon possesses it (is that the evil magician or does he mean whoever "beats" the dungeon?), and tells him to keep supporting adventurers and not to cut down prices for hunting monsters etc

oh he'll issue a reward for taking down the orcs (that does not sound good)

ah yeahh I remember, Namari goes to the resurrection office and she asks about Falin (no luck of course)

on the 5th floor, outside the golden castle is the castle town (now abandoned and in ruins)

right, so Laios did mention that the red dragon is supposed to hunt once a month and then sleep until the next hunt but this red dragon has been active nonstop, even going as far as getting the orcs to flee their settlement which Marcille finds odd (but it's also no good for Falin bc she's getting digested faster)

aw cute detail look at Shuro all blushy as he's looking at Falin here hahaha

fun fact: the weak spot of a dragon is the underside of his neck

there she goes again saying her protective magic isn't as powerful as Falin's. She was the best in school, right? It's making it seem like something either happened to her or the school didn't have any good students in it hahaha I mean, I don't really have anyone else to compare her to (besides Falin who is apparently better than her in everything magic related) so I can't tell if it's just normal for her not to be able to do this stuff or what.

ALSO not me just realising Falin is a tall-(wo)man and aren't tall-men supposed to be weaker in magic than elves by default? hm

listening to their plan of trapping the dragon now after I know what happens makes me think that they should have known this wouldn't work out. they're all humanfailures

hmmmm I don't think anyone has mentioned this before but where are dragons normally bc apparently not on the 5th floor lol my guess is lower? hm does that mean something chased it up, like the orcs were chased up by the dragon WAIT IS WHAT SENSHI WAS TALKING ABOUT ACTUALLY HAPPENING????? Did something fuck up the ecosystem? 👀

Senshi guarding his special knife hehehe

and oop the red dragon is here

random screengrabs:

them in Mr Tansu's imagination tho LOL

Idk about you but I ship Senshi x bread 100%

same Chilchuck, same

paused and laughed

his timing is impeccable truly I love him

"dog with a stick"

I think about this line sometimes. During the Siege of Garreg Mach on a Golden Deer playthrough, if you get Claude to fight Edelgard they will have a special dialogue that just makes me think a lot about how Edelgard (and Dimitri) is perceived by the fandom and even by people in the setting in contrast to this detail Claude gleans. Claude describes Edelgard "looking as pleased as a dog with a stick."

Hm. Hmmmmm. Hmmmmmmmmmm.

There is a chance Claude is just trying to prod Edelgard for a response. His follow-up is a question; "what made you be this way" (or something to that effect). Claude says things to get a rise out of people so they betray information, Edelgard is characterized as dour and stoic in a lot of scenes and described as such by a lot of people. Comparing her to a content dog could just be something Claude is using to get under the skin of the proud and graceful princess. Maybe Claude could be cracking a joke. Edelgard is a bit of a miserable person at times, maybe the "wow you look happy" is just Claude being tauntingly sarcastic. This is open to a bit of interpretation.

Still, Claude is perceptive and a lot of facial expressions in these in-game dialogue scenes are left to the mind's eye. Edelgard does have a line with Hubert if they are assigned to pulling weeds in the post-skip monastery (do we ever think about how our protagonists can be assigned to pull weeds for a week in the ruins of the monastery while they are supposed to be leading armies and nations against each other) about how thoroughly the Imperial Army had damaged the Cathedral. Remember that Edelgard made the monastery her military headquarters in Crimson Flower, she is jovially remarking how much she damaged her own base. Still, the point is the same; how much did Edelgard enjoy destroying Garreg Mach? Was it only visible to Claude or was it visible to anyone paying attention? Was it just for Garreg Mach or does it extend to other things? Edelgard's violent streak is often perceived by fandom and even characters in the story to be cold and ruthless, but what if there is something a bit more hot under the surface?

I bring this up to converse about because a war-mongering dog basking in the destruction of their enemies is... well, it is a theme I often see applied to Dimitri. A bloody hound, a reveling killer, emotions worn openly and without reservation. We all know about how Dimitri gets compared to these in fandom circles, but it is kind of funny that the only character in canon who gets this exact combination of descriptors leveled at them (implicitly) is Edelgard by Claude.

I do not have a larger point to make. I do not even disagree with the fandom attitude here, I have read some excellent takes about Dimitri using these descriptions. It is just something to think about, you know? Appreciate the irony of it.

[hetakiba]

be V I O L E N T!

1, 3, 6, 13, 16, 17, 25

:3c

So many! Thank you 💞

1. The character everyone gets wrong

Oh man where to begin 🤔 I feel like I've seen every supernatural character get misinterpreted 😭 I've also been having a tough time finding good xmen fic but. I think that's partially because 1. So many timelines/canons 😭😭 and 2. SO MANY WORKS!!! Overwhelming choices... Also. Mia re7/8 (either too nice or too mean, hard but somehow!) And! Dimitri, Edelgard fire emblem (just like. In every way possible)

3. Ss or description of worse take you've ever seen on tumblr

Oh lord. Ok I literally had to search my tags to find one 🤣 someone called the buddie ship from 911 toxic. Cannot even begin to imagine how one would get that impression. Also generically which saw movies suck vs which don't lol but that's just difference in taste I suppose

6. Which ship fans are the most annoying

Hmmmmmmmmmm. No hate to anyone! But! 🤔 maybe bakudeku for me...? Just because I wasn't into it and it was. EVERYWHERE. Similarly, byleth/edelgard because same reason.

13. Worst blorbofication

😬😬😬 hmmmmm.... oh, easy. Unfortunately, because I also like him but. Dean supernatural. And tbh most of the main characters 😭 it's ok, they're all a little awful sometimes it's the point! Also. Hannibal, occasionally will too but sometimes also in the opposite way than usual 🤣

16. you can't understand why so many people like this thing (characterization, trope, headcanon, etc)

Hm could just be because I'm not a fan of that time of my life! But! College au's, modern au's a fair amount of the time. Also not necessarily what the question was asking but. Open world games. Live action adaptations of animated source material. Both can be good on occasion but generally. Boo 👎 also, losing all comicbook whimsy when adapting superhero stories

17. there should be more of this type of fic/art

Oh easy!!! Any type of historical au, trapped on a deserted island fic, omegaverse that's about more than immediate pwp, ALSO! Generically more dark/hurt comfort fic that isn't just. Unnecessarily mean or Unnecessarily easy 🤔 if you dig. For art, any of it man, I can eat it up for hours

25. common fandom complaint that you're sick of hearing

Well generically I hate any 'this is obviously the best/worst entry' ect. Honestly I keep thinking of the opposite opinions I have on things and not necessarily. Anything I've ever seen someone actually believe 😭😭

Also this was hard because if I see too much crazy takes I just won't go in the tag much 😭😭

[ohmygob]

me: yeah my tits are okay i guess. they’re just kinda there. i don’t like how they look and i don’t want anyone to see or touch them and i don’t feel attractive when not wearing a shirt but they look good with specific outfits sometimes so i guess i like them

me after putting on trans tape: i am never putting a shirt on again. i feel so good and confident and attractive. i’ve never felt like this idk why- oh. hm. hmmmmmmmmmm……

[0809sysblings]

6, 48, 59, 60, and 93!

hii!! ty for the ask!!

6. pastel, boho, tomboy, preppy, goth, grunge, formal or sportswear?

i dont really get clothing styles and just sorta put on whatever i think looks decent enough to be perceived in (and i haven't really properly bought clothes in like. several several years) but... after looking all these up to see examples, my style is probably closest to tomboy? i guess? i didnt even know that was considered a style tbh--

48. if you were a fruit, what kind would you be?

hm........ well. probably a banana. just cause. some of my family used to call me a nickname that incorporated banana into it. so like... that would probably be the most appropriate choice...

but i think i'd want to be like... a cherry maybe. i like cherries. 🍒

59. if you were a video game character, what would your catchphrase be?

HMMMMMMMMMM.......... i... have no idea. i feel like... i probably would be one of those really silent characters who don't talk...?? so i wouldn't have a proper catchphrase. my catchphrase would be 👍

60. if you were a character in an anime, what kind of anime would you want it to be?

OOO hmm... definitely one with a supernatural or magical aspect. and i wouldn't wanna be in a slice-of-life one because i'd want there to be action and stuff. maybe a universe sorta similar to like... FMA/JJK/BSD/etc where it's like... there's Things going on, but it's not something that everyone, or even most people, are actually involved with. it's a specific subgroup of people and they're kinda isolated from everyone else (whether that be physically or just psychologically) doing their thing. if that makes sense.

93. nicknames?

if this is asking if i have any, currently... yeas.

i remember Tumblr User @/74n5n replying to my url change post saying they were giving me the nickname 0809. if that counts.

then.. i also have one friend who calls me Kyle. it's a bit we did where we had Chadsonas. Kyle was my Chad Name. and he just.. continued to call me it. to the point that other people who know of me through him think that's literally my name until it gets explained KDMFDKS.

i guess i don't really... have a name. so technically everything other people call me is a nickname!

[lumeha]

Persona for you? 👀 Feel free to pick one game in specific if you’d prefer.

I'm gonna focus on 4 and 5 because those are the ones I finished most recently and discussed the most, but

(sends kisses to 2)

I'm traumatised by this pair of bastard games <3 very good

Favorite character

hm hmmmmmm HMMMMMMMMMM

Gods. Urgh. I know the second part is the second favourite, but I do have to say, it is a toss up between Teddie and Yosuke ?

I didn't expect to love Teddie as much as I ended up doing. I may be doing some abstraction about the womanizing, for the both of them lmao, but Teddie genuinely has one of the most compelling character arc I've seen ? I think what they did with him is what P5 tried with Morgana, but it did end up working much, much better with Teddie, because Teddie loose his role as navigator to Rise but he's taking himself to a different role in the group because they are his friends and. His discovery of friendship, his relation with Nanako, even with Yosuke's parents, is just so fucking good, and I am still a little heartbroken from the bad end when Nanako is in the hospital okay : )

Yosuke's just a mess as a character lmao but that is what makes him interesting to me. He's just a teen who doesn't really know what he wants and how to care, in a lot of way, and he's also incredibly bad at grieving, and it's just really fun to see. Also. Great Shadow to start with. Would bet he would easily get to confront his Shadow again later down the line. Love him though. A nerd. I also share his music tastes and that's funny.

Second favorite character

(carries Ryuji above my head) look at this momma's boy he's so fucking cute I love him and he deserves better than what P5 gives him goddamnit !!! Love ! Him ! So ! Much !!

Like, yeah, he's rude, but you know what, he deserves to be, it's not like people have been good to him. Glad Strikers actually let him say fuck. It was deserved <3

... More seriously, I am insanely soft for a rude guy who is actually really caring. He's trying. It's also kind of amusing to have him try to hide a sweet tooth in some scenes ?? He's just. I like him a lot.

Least favorite character

Akechi

... I still laugh thinking about my late evening meltdown when faced with his goddamn boss fight and all I was commenting to my friend was "I just want to go to sleep fuck you man" (couldn't just stop the game or I would have lost a good two or three hours of gameplay <3) (I'm still mad lmao)

But yeah it's Akechi

I just wish I didn't find him in unrelated tags on tumblr sometimes

The character I’m most like

... I have no idea, frankly.

But I definitely was very much like Mary when I was a teen, angsty bad poetry included. Y'all are lucky I have *some* shame AND no actual translation skills or I would have shown it lmao.

Favorite pairing

I. hm. which one. That's a good question. It might genuinely be a battle between Yosuke/Teddie and Ryuji/Mishima. Which. Are not the same vibes at all but there's just something specific about these two ships about caring and loving someone and loving the flaws as qualities that I just really enjoy

Least favorite pairing

... Yes it's Aki///ren. do I really. do I need to.

I think it's obvious why.

Favorite moment

P4, will have to go with the murderer's reveal in the TV world when you go along his Social Link and it changes arcana, it's genuinely a *fantastic* moment and it has some really cool shit going on aesthetically. Also as much as I hate the guy he is an absolutely fantastic antagonist and I love to hate him.

(but also shout out to Rise's boss fight and how she takes control of it. I love Rise. She's so good. And it's really cool to have her retake control like this !!)

P5 I'll have to go with Kamoshida's Palace. Just. In general. The game starts on such a fucking strong leg. Too bad it kind of falters after that but Kamoshida's Palace has many good moments, from the first Persona awakening of the MC and Ryuji and Ann to just them all discovering what the fuck is going on. Just. good. aesthetically interesting too. Yes that's important to me XD

Rating out of 10

A solid 8 out of 10. Might be a little higher, but I just think - 4 and 5 both have some glaring problems with their stories that did drive me a little insane. But I was compelled to go through them and finish them which means a lot too because I'm a scatter brain jfsdklfk

[ener-chi]

Hi! hello I’m glad you’re doing readings again! I go by Anya (my chosen name) and my last initial is A. My pronouns are she/her and I would love to have an energy reading. I have a dimple on the left side of my mouth and a lotus flower tattoo covering up a scar I got from a broken teacup.

Hmm my favorite memory so far: My friends and I goofing off at work and laughing our asses off

Hi Anya!

Yes! I'm very happy to be doing them again! Let's dive in:

Anya... Is such a lovely name... I think I've known someone with that name before?? Regardless I like it... Also... Just wanted to say... A lotus flower covering up a scar from a broken teacup... That is... So beautiful... Poetic...

Hm... Darkness... I see... A face... In a very dim light... Can't tell if it is... A candle... Or her phone... Hm... I feel like it is her phone... I feel like you would like candles... But you would really only use them like occasionally... And not as... Ambient lighting...

As I enter the space... I... See more... By feeling more... The energy in her room is a bit stuffy... And stale... Definitely could use like... A rearranging of things or a good cleanse... I see more of the room... Bed... Some stuffed animals... Pillows... White walls?... Maybe some... Drawings or paintings on them... Flowers...

Hm... Her energy is... A bit complicated... Right now... I caught her at a... Neutral... Time... Feeling a bit of a... Tired... Shade... But there is a... Nervous...? No... Hm... It's like there is a tic... She's like tapping her leg with her fingers or moving her foot absentmindedly... There is something on her mind...

Alright... I think I'm ready to dive a bit deeper now... Let's see what is going on...

Transition...

We go up in vibration... A bit more like a grid space... I see her and her energy...

Hooo... Right off the bat... Her... Right side?? Her aura is a bit deflated... For some reason??? I've LITERALLY never seen that before... Tf... Like... Flat tire almost...

What else... On first impressions... It's... Surprisingly clear, actually... On the outer levels... Of her aura... There isn't really any clutter or gunk... Hm... She is good at taking time to herself... And tending to herself and her energy...

What else... Hm... Still thinking about that deflated aura... I sense... Some weak chakras... Kind of like... When a light is needed to be replaced... And it starts to flicker... Ofc you can't replace an aura lmaooo... But it might need a bit of smthn... Guess we'll find out...

Anything else... No... Alright let's take a look at this aura...

Tf... It's like you got ran over... Hm... hmmmmMMMmmm... Again... The aura looks... Normal... Healthy... Until you get very close to the right side... Where it's missing... Hm... Okay... This is interesting... Tp comes out and verifies this too...

Your aura... Is like... Hm... Like a phantom aura... Like... Every time someone explains a phantom limb... Or you see a picture... Ya know... The phenomenon where someone is missing a limb and they still feel like it's there... Even though it's not...

Anyways... When it's depicted... There's always pictures of the arm up to the amputated point... And then the rest of the hand is drawn out like a silhouette... Or a ghost... Or a phantom... This... Is what is happening here?? Kind of...

It's not that your aura has been... Amputated... If it was... Then... It would NOT look clear and healthy like I'm seeing it... It'd be all sorts of messed up... No... It is like... A part of your aura is not with you...

Tbh... I haven't seen this before... If I had to theorize... I would say... Maybe one cause could be some relationship with someone in your life... Like... You have an unhealthy, toxic bond... And they are taking away from your energy?? Hm... Idk if it would look that healthy though...

Tbh... I have no idea... I'm gonna maybe see if I can fill it in a bit?? Ope... Okay told no touchies... aight... Well... Moving on then ig...

Yes... Okay... I'm guided to the chakras... The one that is blinking is in the middle of her meridians... Hm... Heart or solar plexus... Let me squint my third eye to see better...

Okay... Solar plexus... Heart is doing okay... What's going on here... Hmm... I suddenly have a flashback to that tic from earlier... Hm... I hope I'm not projecting but... This is a feeling that feels familiar... I see visions of... Old, repetitive routines... Restlessness...

Hm... How is her meridians in that case... They're moving... A bit slow but... definitely moving... Hm... So interesting... Everything else is largely looking healthy... And then there's the wild aura lmao... And slightly unbalanced chakras...

Is there anything else... To look at energy wise... I'm getting a vision...

Transition...

I think she's at work?? Blegh... This is so foggy...  Work... Night time... Around 5ish... It feels like it's late but it's really not... Between 5 and 7... City lights... Windows... She thinks about her friends... And smiles... And her energy lightens... It feels... Really good... Like a completely sudden change washes over her...

Transition...

Alright!! I think that's all I'm really going to get out of this. First things first, not really sure what's going on with your aura. I have never seen that before, and haven't really seen anything in my research... There is like... One thing, in the back of my mind, that seems familiar, but I can't grasp it. It could also be like... Metaphorical?? Especially cuz it's looking healthy somehow. Honestly, you might have some insight into what it means, so I will leave you with that.

As for everything else... I feel like things are feeling a bit... Stagnant? For you? Honestly, you are not alone. This is a very strangeee autumn. I feel like there is some weird energy hanging in the air. We're also transitioning into Winter. All of this to say - if you're feeling off, you are not alone.

BUT. I think that actually doing some freshening up of things would be really really good for you and your energy (and your room! :P). Physical cleaning and cleansing works wonders for your energy, not just the energy of the space. Definitely do some cleansing on yourself. But I think that shaking up your routine would also be really good. Do things that you wouldn't normally do, either for fun, or to experience it in a new way. Maybe see if there are habits or things in your life that you can or need to let go. All of these things should help your energy, for sure ((:

Thanks for the ask! Your energy is lovely. Doctor Zach says that you're doing a-ok ((: I hope this resonates!

Blessings!

DIRK: Not many really understand that when pleasure is taken seriously enough, it can easily mimic the appearance of business, just as when irony is practiced with enough passion, it becomes indistinguishable from sincerity.

[number1villainstan]

episode 30, i'm officially 3/4 of the way through RGU

episode's title is The Barefoot Girl, and i forgot to watch the previews again so i have no idea what this is about

oh no wait i did watch the previews. it was all the stuff about "there are some people you just shouldn't fall in love with". and anthy not understanding.

previews anthy: "someone i love very much" *shot cuts to akio* oh god please no. please don't actually be akio

wakaba giving love advice to a boy, huh? a friend of hers? not onion prince, i think, different voice, but huh. what does this imply for wakaba's relationship among the "non-special" ppl of ohtori

utena i'm pretty sure that first kisses are supposed to be mouth to mouth. not on the eye. and besides a grown man kissing a small child is uh. maybe not the romantic moment you think it is.

"it's so rare to find a guy who can bake a cake!" do cake mixes not exist in ohtori

damn, wakaba really did just repeat utena word for word

wakaba you homewrecker /affectionate

man fuck that guidance counselor

also what's up with the three candles candelabra thing

vice principal is a creep. i see akio has filled the administration of ohtori with people like him

sister school in amsterdam? what's up with that???

"guidance which stresses their independence" i'm like 80% sure akio only said that because utena was there

"somehow very strong and noble" and the background fades from total orange to the greenhouse and courtyard. a representation of "coming back to reality" almost? (as much as you can partake in reality at ohtori)

"because you're my very special friend" 🔫

god i wish i had a proper gun emoji

anthy in the background watching them, knowing what akio's like....god

oh my god. is he trying to get utena into the Akio Sex Car? FUCK

the way he's rubbing that car door is. fuck.

still not sure what the three candles are. utena anthy and wakaba maybe? and once akio's had his way with them they would snuff out--but no, that would mean anthy's candle would already be out. that doesn't work

maybe the two edge candles are utena and wakaba, and the middle one is akio? but i have no idea what it would signify. maybe the higher one being akio shows a position of power? but the flames are all equal in size--

that is the most "realistic" appearance of the Akio Sex Car i've seen so far. god i hope wakaba's okay at the end. and akio doesn't like. actually do it. but of course akio's gonna do it.

okay so wakaba says it was just a drive. so akio didn't do it? maybe cuz if he forced it on wakaba utena would pick up on something and his plans would spoil

...who is the barefoot girl, anyways? i bet it's wakaba

actually. huh. what did happen to kanae?

so utena's falling for akio, but freaking out about it cuz she's supposed to be in love with the prince. huh.

akio watching her basketball game? "why is my heart pounding like this?" hm. hmmmmmmmmmm.

imma be honest i've been playing up my disgust over akio cuz i know he's the villain, and i know about what he does, but like. also i can see why they fall for him. even if i'm ace i've still got pattern recognition lol. but also, yeah he's an adult man sexually preying on teenagers, but this is a series told from the teenager's perspective, which means that the audience is gonna see things from the teen's pov, which means that even if the audience doesn't swallow akio's bullshit they see it how utena and the other teenagers see it, and they can see why the teens swallow that bullshit. it's a pretty good way of subverting the whole Curse of Knowledge thing, where it's hard to envision/understand the pov/experience of something who doesn't know something that you do know

akio in the window and utena falls. the three candles show up again, they keep fluttering in the wind but never going out. does the flame represent--idk, utena's devotion to her prince?

oh jesus utena is limping. that was a bad fall. remember reading something about restricted movement equaling restricted choice in the case of kozue and utena, and utena can barely walk--but she got that injury because she thought she saw akio in the window--utena's lack of choice is caused by akio--or at least by her image of akio, and the things he represents to her--

the Akio Sex Car showed up without a speech this time. and just in time to interrupt an utenanthy Conversation. plus akio's not in his Sex Car outfit, wasn't with wakaba either, so i think maybe i can rest easy and assume that no, akio did not try to have sex with wakaba

oh shit one of the candles finally blew out. does this mean utena's resolve has weakened

just a drive to the hospital, huh? and wakaba's was a drive to the beach. whereas the other Akio Sex Car appearances have been akio in a white prince/student council suit, driving down a road at night with no features of the environment save streetlights and the road and the darkness. ...another element to the teens being trapped with akio?

that little sing-song "bye" is making me freak out a bit

"you're practically family at this point" and we all know what akio does to family

the more i think about it the more the candle flames being utena's resolve makes sense

don't--don't pick up an injured leg like that

akio just took utena's shoe off--utena is the barefoot girl--

"You're so good at making girls feel good." that's called ✨manipulation✨ utena

the wind blowing the candles, and utena losing her resolve in the face of akio--

only one candle flame left...will it survive?

anthy holding the candelabra--god... oh wait she's here now in the background. does that mean she's here to stop akio?

--shit no she disappeared--but she knows--

we keep cutting to the cock tower. hm i wonder why /sarcasm

red shoes that make you dance till you die...two ends of an extreme and someone able but unwilling to make a leap of faith...

sunlit garden is playing and anthy and utena are together in their almost-yin-yang bed

"you didn't seem to eat much at dinner tonight" uhhhhhhh. don't like that. did utena lose her appetite after the whole thing with akio? i don't think she enjoyed it

"owner of the glass slipper" are they comparing utena to the cinderella story? shoving her into the role of princess?

touga admits that he fell for utena? that she made him reconsider how he lived his life??

"the only time i've reconsidered how i lived my life" touga. you're 16. a) that's what your teen years and twenties are for, is meeting people who make you reconsider your entire worldview and b) you've barely started living your life

shot split down the middle, with utena on one side and akio and anthy on another

ohhhhh kanae shows up again! but only as a figure in a doorway from afar, the only one who gets to be seen close up is utena, with anthy as a closer second--but akio and kanae are distant figures in the shots-- (and utena's clearly guilty about what happened with akio, because she thinks she "pulled" him from kanae???)

kanae's mother shows up and suddenly anthy and utena are gone. replaced by the red spinning censor rose. and then kanae's gone, replaced with a white spinning censor rose. momma ohtori, too, is never shown up close, always from a distance

but now we're seeing akio's hand with the wine glass up close. but no faces.

"i'm even considering naming a comet after her if I ever discover one" discover one where? in your projected planetarium stars?? that you control entirely????

we finally see a closeup of mamma ohtori (pale, hair a dusky shade of aqua, black dress with see-through white sleeves, earrings that are gold around pearl(?), a white choker? or is that part of the dress?). but not her face. she's turned away from the camera.

what is that, purple lipstick? she's all cool colors, so unlike kanae's softer orange and yellow. and akio's pulling the same take-her-shoe-off move on momma ohtori as he did on utena. fuck.

oh god. there's the final flame of utena's resolve, gone. "the only one i love is the prince" girl you don't need 'love'! what you need is self-respect! and to recognize that you are being Taken Advantage Of!!!!

Oh also, along with writing the December 2023 Monthly Short Piece today, I finally watched the first episode of Revolutionary Girl Utena after days of seeing a moot post about it and--

"I am the Rose Bride. From this day forward, I belong to you."

i am going to murder everyone in this damn school for anthy

Clanmates have been nervous around Minkthroat lately, but Minkthroat is deeply in love with Boragenut. Asternettle is getting stressed taking care of the Clan.

Frankenstein seeks out a place she can be on her own (maybe because she realised Minkthroat likes someone else?)

Minkthroat and Boragenut work on a plan to get more freshkill together actually its cuter if i screenshot it:

Moon 30:

Skybird moves on from Blightcloud

Wildpad recovers from birthing their litter, and Otterhollow and Thistletail move on from their grief, at least a little.

Newttongue is preggers

I'll reblog with Mink and Borage's kits in a sec

clangen time - block the tag bc im addicted

welcome to WyrmClan!

Living in the tunnels of a huge mountain are these tenacious and smart cats.

Our leader:

Curlystar wasn't the cat who started the clan: that honour belongs to Flipstar, who gave Curlyclaw her new name: Curlystar, giving her the gift of leadership through the darkest times. She'll need it, the Clan is currently in the grip of a famine, with only two warriors, the Clan is barely skating through. She's determined to lead her Clan safely out through the other side of this famine.

Our deputy:

Owlspeckle was born and bred in WyrmClan, and she knows the danger the Clan is currently in. Desperate to prove herself to Curlystar, and to herself, she's quietly plotting her next move.

Our cleric:

Asternettle is worried about how the Clan is going to pull through this famine, but she has faith that StarClan will help them. How? She's not quite sure, but she remains hopeful.

Warriors:

Briarears was desperate to become deputy, but he's begrudgingly accepted that until Curlystar's death, he'll be allocated to the role of helpful senior warrior. He's jealous of Owlspeckle's status as deputy, and is already plotting to get on her good side should she *mysteriously* become a leader overnight.

Ramblingpatch is uncertain about her role in the Clan, and is slightly suspicious of Briarears. The way he talks about Curlystar puts her on edge. However, she's pushed her fears to the side for the sake of her apprentice, who she's already very close to.

Apprentices:

Minkpaw is keenly aware of the shambling status of her Clan. Close friends with both Ramblingpatch and Fallenpaw, she gets all the gossip. Regardless, she's determined to protect her Clan to the best of her ability.

Fallenpaw is a bit more relaxed. He doesn't mind what pronouns get used for zem, or how close Ramblingpatch and Asternettle are. They're very close to Minkpaw, and know how easily she gets passionate about something. Sometimes, she feeds Minkpaw fake gossip, just for fun.

Kits:

Boragekit's parents died when his was very young: his mother of blood loss after giving birth, and his father of starvation after giving his prey to Boragekit. He doesn't remember his father very well, just that he was very kind, and had very soft fur. He's mostly being raised by Ramblingpatch and Asternettle at the moment.

That's WyrmClan! I'll probably make posts every 12 moons, or longer if nothing happens! :]
