Okay, so the new design choices for Shen are bothering me. Like, I know it's Her impersonating him, but I don't like how fluffy they made him. It's messy to look at, and part of his character is metal.

Like, he was supposed to look cold and sleek, like metal. Because it makes him look more lethal, and sharp. (Like a stabby weapon.) But metal is also kind of his element.

I don't know, but to me the changes make him look less regal and imposing, and more... frumpy?

Wild how we know that Elizabeth Woodville was officially appointed to royal councils in her own right during her husband’s reign and fortified the Tower of London in preparation of a siege while 8-months pregnant and had forces gathering at Westminster “in the queen’s name” in 1483 – only for NONE of these things to be even included, let alone explored, in the vast majority of scholarship and historical novels involving her.

What astounds me about the whole "you need a pure human SOUL to perfect the serum" thing is that so many people take Chujin's conclusion at face value. Chujin Ketsukane? Chujin "Winner of the 'You Tried In Engineering' Award" Ketsukane? Chujin "Fumbled Inventing Robots So Hard He Earned The Ire Of The Usually Pretty Chill King" Ketsukane? Chujin "I Accidentally Killed A Human Child By Overshooting The Parameters On My Guard Robot" Ketsukane? That Chujin Ketsukane?

ff7 au where aerith meets sephiroth before zack.

.

this changes nothing in the main story, because by then the real sephiroth is already dead. it just makes everything that happens feel that much worse.

(an exploration of the earlier story concept with past aeriseph)

geralt is also a most real depiction of good quality fatherhood and great girldad representation because EVEN THOUGH witchers don’t even experience aging at the same rate as non-GMO humans, EVEN THOUGH it would be “biologically impossible,”

geralt having had been raising a pre-teen girl for maybe a few months to a year already “gave the impression of having aged,” his “face slashed by wrinkles.” the emotional toll on this man from raising she-devil ciri

and this is only the very beginning of the saga. BEFORE everything goes to shit. the wrinkles have set in

potential clarinette design?

(the girl lime dated for a short time during the timeskip to try and get over mochi. shes currently trying to get him to go out with her again)

Thinking about the phrase "you should only do what you know you can live with" in Red Valley and how differently Warren and Aubrey seem to interpret that phrase. Or rather, how differently they answer the question of "what do you do after you've done something you can't live with."

Warren's response to doing something he can't live with is to Stop Doing- he gives up opportunities to take control of his life at every turn. He can't make choices that cause harm if he stops making choices at all. His goal is to prevent himself from causing further harm.

Contrasting that with the way that Aubrey has always tried to make choices that she feels will help others. How she wants to make a positive difference so bad, but every time she tries, she ends up causing more damage. She can't live with this, so rather than hiding from it like Warren does, she chooses to Do More- she continues choosing more actions to try and undo what she's done. She has never let her shame about her past keep her from trying to help people.

Thinking about how Aubrey's active choices and Warren's passive ones both play a part in creating the apocalyptic landscape of 2064.

My last thought for the night... thinking on Josie's fascination with the red honey changes. Thinking on Jamie experiencing some physical changes

Thinking of Josie gripping their chin and *looking* at them

Maybe anime is a mistake, look where anime got her...

A dead boyfriend, a traumatized best friend, her dog isn't a dog but a near thousand year old kitsune, and now a tree yokai wants to kill her and drink her dog's blood...

Yeah that sounds something very anime-esque...

Kerry trying to hide his jealousy with Johnny about Alt, but then steaming with snarky comments that Johnny sees right through.

They bicker. They fight. Johnny tries to kiss Kerry, Kerry protests and pushes back. "We ain't exclusive. Take it or leave it," Johnny says. They aren't a thing. There's nothing to build or continue, there's no and will never be any actual dating between them, yet Johnny keeps trying, keeps pushing—because deep down he really, really wants this.

And Kerry takes it. Of course he does. How could he really resist when it's right there? He'd tell anyone to go fuck themselves, but this is Johnny.

He tried to leave and he came back. He tried to leave again and Johnny still managed to smooth talk him into returning.

The truth is very simple: until Johnny is gone, he'll take it—again and again. Love will keep them together and love will tear them apart.

*points at Opal* “Except you.”

Opal's trauma is finding out about all the visceral suffering that stitched her happy family together :)

Studies of Elizabeth Woodville […] have been hampered by the continuing fascination with her brother-in-law, Richard III. The Ricardian [and Yorkist] apologetic is now largely dependent upon the argument that the Woodville family posed such a threat to Richard of Gloucester, and the kingdom as a whole, that Gloucester had little option but to take the throne from his Woodville-dominated nephew. Although this argument has [irregularly] been contested, a reassessment of the queen's role in 1483 has not yet been attempted. Michael Bennett, in his 1987 account [...] still dismissed her as `an inveterate intriguer, capable in her vanity and fecklessness of some remarkable shifts and turns'. But more often she is scarcely mentioned in general histories of the period.
