[Phil hummed. “So it confirms what we already know. Wilbur was never Schlatt’s actual target, he was just collateral.”] yeah, but that’s not going to stop Phil from getting revenge. Which given the emotional constipation, is probably a way of dealing with his anger at himself for not realising Schlatt might make an attempt on Tomys’ live to try and secure Quackity’s throne and sending his own son along on the journey.

And Phil still knows this letter is not enough proof because 1. Sam is a useless piece of trash 2. It is still an incripted letter and 3. Schlatt’s money gives him too much damn power.

[Wilbur might not have been his target, but he now had to live with the consequences of surviving an attack like that. Phil won’t let something like that go unpunished.] intentions don’t matter, Phil’s son was hurt and he will make Schlatt pay. And he’s very aware of how much damage this did to his kid even beyond physical because he can read his boy that well.

[Every limp, every nightmare, every unwarranted flinch] see he did notice that flinch when getting his boy back. And he has no idea it was because his kid expected disappointment in his eyes. So of course he blames that on the trauma too (Tbf, the trauma probably made it worse).

I do like that they still run their theories by Wilbur (actually this is something else Phil might have wanted to say or ask when Ponk came in, though it fits less with the conversation, not that he could not changes topics).

And Wilbur is smart, he comes to the same conclusion, maybe has knows for a bit too. Even without thinking of Quackity’s warning. [“Schlatt.” Wilbur lifted the dagger and tested the weight in his hand.] <- definitely no foreshadowing to future beheading at all, (Phil wants that man dead)

[Wilbur’s heart pounded in his chest as he realized what they were discussing. “What are we going to do about him?”/The look in Phil’s eyes made chills run down his spine./“We have a plan.”] (scratch that, Phil and Techno want him dead, Niki too probably).

My guess is that they will frame him for something that will get him beheaded. It’ll be hard to prove he caused this assassination, but they could frame him for a different one, maybe make it look like he was planning to assassinate Niki or Sam. I’m sure there’s options and I don’t know them yet, but I will patently wait to watch this unfold.

(Also, getting rid of the threat on Tomys’ life will only make him more trusting and loyal.)

oh 100% phil wants revenge even though wilbur wasn't the target. wilbur still got permanently injured and traumatized by the experience so schlatt has to pay for that, even if it wasn't his intention. he's also so furious with himself for not seeing this coming. phil really hates being taken by surprise and with his own son's life on the line, he's never going to let something like that happen again.

yeah, a single letter really isn't enough to accuse one of the most powerful men in the country of attempting to murder a potential crown prince. even if sam WAS competent he would still have to relent to that.

actually, that was exactly what phil and techno wanted to talk to wilbur about before ponk came in! he was going to change the subject but they got interrupted. probably for the best because wilbur was not really in the best headspace to talk about that just yet. better that he wait a few days and feel more steady before playing the logic guessing games again.

literally they all want that man dead schlatt has done one thing for sure in this story and it's make a ton of enemies

hmm interesting yes framing could definitely work though it would be tricky. or it might be simpler than you think. you'll find out soon :)

all the satosugu shippers going all “ohhhhh doomed lovers” over the recent chapter has me like. I can’t find the ask I sent to you way back when but it was “their relationship is more like geto is the ex who breaks into the house and tries to kill gojo’s kids”. also shoutout to the people drawing art of those two reuniting. very lovely but that man is not in heaven.

Like tbf Gojo also committed mass murder so he in hell too but Gojo's mass murder was in defense of his kids. I recently saw someone say Gojo didn't care about the civilians in the train station and I feel like I'm reading a different story. He pushed himself to the absolute breaking point to save as many people as he could. Gojo has Never wanted to kill innocent people. With the cult they paid for a girl to die and Gojo wasn't sure if they should kill them or not. He had no particular desire to do it that's why he asked. His emotions were so muted under his euphoria high. So when he was told there was no point he shrugged and moved on but that was not Gojo in a normal state of mind. Geto was so hung up on the fact that Gojo Could kill everyone he never considered if Gojo Would or even if he Should <- which was Gojo's question

Geto is the one who simply views all humans as "monkeys" who he should be allowed to kill. And I am sick to death of the Gojo would have followed Geto anywhere posts when he Didn't. He literally let Geto walk away and decided it wasn't his responsibility to try and save him. Unlike Megumi and Yuji's dedication and devotion to each other. And the moment Geto set foot out of line Gojo took him out. Gojo misses his best friend from high school. Note how Gojo remembers everyone in heaven from when he was a teenager and they sit there and mock him and his growth bc they never knew Sensei Gojo. Yeah... anyways I think people took their cruetly to Gojo at face value instead of reading the story and seeing that Gojo was a grown man who chose his children over Everything.

And tbc you're never doomed to get into eugenics. Geto had a decade of self reflection on it and came to the conclusion he'd kill a teenager who was a sorcerer as his first big genocide move. Which to any genocide studiers out there you Know the 'target' is never the end. Genocidal people become obsessed will culling and anyone becomes a target. Sorcerers who didn't fall in line were very clearly on Geto's chopping block. And Gojo's gamble was a Terrible one because without Yuta's amazing RCT that he didn't even know he had Maki and Inumaki were 100% dead. Panda could have prolly been restuffed.

And I hate Hate comparisons like Geto was a good parental figure. He tooks those girls and bathed them in blood and turned them into monsters. Surronded them by bigotry, hatred, murder, and plans for genocide. Gojo took his kids and put himself as a shield in front of them. To get to his kids you had to get him out of the way. And Gojo more than anything wanted to give them a childhood of school and friends and baseball and relying on each other. Note Gojo trying to make the 2nd years leave because he wasn't even sure if killing the higher ups was right but he can't go away and leave them to hurt the kids again But he also doesn't want the kids to see him kill. Yeah. Geto said wow sorcerers dying for each other my dream?? Which dude Gojo helped raise this generation of sorcerers and you fucked off to make a cult that accomplished nothing and then scattered to the winds. And only one of them was even useful enough for Gojo to track down to help Yuta.

Geto died for genocidal bloodlust. Gojo died for his students.

Tbf Arizona was never particularly ambitious, especially not compared to some other characters. Like yeah sure she wanted to be a great surgeon but she wasn't like Cristina or Derek or even Callie. I think she's actually kind of an outlier compared to majority of other characters, because her career wasn't end all be all for her. I'd even go as far as to say she's literally the only character who would give up her career for her family, like if she and Callie had more kids, I could see her decide to be a stay at home mom for a few years.

here's my semi-interesting take on that: arizona achieved everything very young and very quickly. bc kenley died basically right after arizona finished her fellowship, and arizona took his job, she became the head of department super early. unlike callie or derek, she never really did much research. her "thing" was providing surgical care to underprivileged kids in developing countries - which she achieved through winning the carter madison - which she got a bit over a year after finishing her fellowship. arizona sort of spedran her career. she went to med school, did her residency and became chief resident, did her fellowship, became an attending, became head of department, and won a prestigious grant, all in very quick succession.

but yes, 100% i would agree that unlike most of the other characters, arizona has a surprising amount of work-life balance, at least from a mental standpoint. obvs there's only so much possible when your partner works in the same field at the same place, etc.

i also think it's important to factor in how arizona grew up/her family situation - ie how absent her father was, but also how tightly knit their family unit was. she's very aware of the impact of absent parents, so i think she'd be very conscious about being there for their kids. i'm not sure i'd go so far to say that she'd be a sahm, max taking an extended maternity leave/reducing her hours a bit.

i mean tbf harry potter is always a delight to rewatch. my comfort childhood movie~

hljlasdjkasd you alright?? have you been sleeping enough??

lol he would!! and when you accuse him of thinking of doing nefarious things with the invisibility cloak he'll flash you that faux innocent pout, "whatever do you mean, dear? how could you accuse me of such a thing?" i can definitely heizou running everywhere investigating all the curious things in the school... probably unlocked the chamber of secrets on his second year lol

YAASSSS he had the best 'azaaaar!' in the cutscene out of all the versions hahah oh dw the day it comes out if i'm not busy with family matters i would be frothing on my tumblr, look forward to me making a fool out of myself hskdjkd RIGHT??? i would love a mechanic like that hahah imagine other interesting combos like ayato-ayaka, or zhongli-xiao, or even between all the archons!!

i got 100% exploration on 3 areas!!! but now i'm sick of mond scenery oof lol it was relaxing tho you're absolutely right the fact that i get to leisurely admire zhongli as he runs around is a huge plus too no but i get you!!! looking for the oculi is just frustrating esp. for inazuma and sumeru... i don't blame you for pulling out guides cause i would too lol

I SAW lol i already can feel my brother rolling his eyes at me like 'don't you have enough anemo characters????' lmao- i'm gonna reply him with a haughty 'lalala can't hear you peasants i'm too busy flying around' once i got my hand on him :p

i have a feeling al haitham is gonna be a jerk and make me use my cc but let's hope not...

oh yeah i figured you would hahah woo 80 fates let's go!!! he'll come home early to his beloved, i'm sure! <3 if he don't he probably got distracted by paperwork lbrh i would love to get him too but i shall keep my expectation low... yesyes BEST OF LUCK FOR US BOTH 🙏🏻

i wasn't able to watch 3.3 stream live but i hope you had fun!! i'll probably check out the uploaded video today with my brother hehe and omg yes pls remember my spirit will be with you when you wish, i'm cheering you on with my pompoms :3

hskdjskdjs pls don't crack my husband's joints /j but like. wouldn't your fiance's joints crack too since he's sitting on that desk of his doing his paperworks for like... what, 16 hours a day? /j

also, food and water reminder!!!! <3 <3 <3

it is! i can never get enough of the world building in that series like LET ME IN, I WANNA GO THERE (and then zoom out when voldemort arc comes /j) 😮‍💨 my comfort movies all happen to be stopmotion like coraline, corpse bride, and book of life. i'd recc coraline because it's spoopy with a sprinkle of whimsicality ✨ do you have any other comfort movies you'd recc, rin jie?? i'll deffo try watching them in my spare time >:)

that fake innocence and cheekiness is what makes ayato so frustratingly kissable <//3 do i pinch him or do i kiss him jfkefjeks ngl, this helped me realize how much of a tsundere i can be at times 🚶and so true, heizou's life is just full of interesting events LOLLL i have a feeling most of the teachers would be frustrated with him, pfft. but late night adventures with heizou and sneaking out together.... cries.

ALSO. tugging zhongli to sit down with you and have a movie night — but the moment you lay your head on top of his chest, your eyelids just flutter to a close. the man's chest could rival any other pillows fjekkfjeks and for me, i think heizou would absolutely enjoy movie nights like he is the type to nerd out about his theories or his thoughts on a movie's ending... and i'm just there, snoozing against him halfway through the movie. why pillows when you can sleep on your beloved's chest >>> (/lh)

dw, i'm alright! i'm just glad december is coming soon 🤧 and i think i'll be able to post my vaporize entry soon too! it went from a long fic to a more condensed version with the same concept, but i hope the progress will be smoother this time~ and this is an interaction i imagine between zhongli and his walking bank: "ah, mr. zhongli! before we go, i wanted to let you know that i... uh, didn't bring my wallet today." "...oh, i see." (no mora will be spent today, i'm afraid /lh)

ngl, i am a little eager to see alhaitham's drip marketing too because it is likely i'll pull on his banner for kaveh, so we'll see if i get to reach pity for the scribe or not fjejjdjke AND DO SEND ME SCREENSHOTS OF SCARA WHEN YOU GET HIM 👀 it's for... research purposes, yes. also because i like the way he can float upwards LOLLL calamities just fall from the sky these days... a huge rock of order and punishment, then air blades from an angy floating guy with a hat 🫡

the stream was so fun! because i let out the loudest yell into my blanket when i saw ayato on the 2nd phase banner. it was a cry of joy because yes, my months of farming will be worth it 😭 if ayato comes home early and i still have lots of wishes left, i might pull for ei because i really like her playstyle and i have the catch at r5, hehe. and ty for cheering me on, rin jie! take care while you're on your break, ok?? we'll wait for you <3
