#A3! spoilers

i'm going crazy anybody want anything?

[mozukumi]

my extremely tenuous and nonsensical theory (spoilers for act 3.5 event)

So, new characters with sprites were introduced! That's awesome! But there is something that seems odd to me.

(Images and translations come from this Twitter user.)

The fourth character, "an elegant boy", doesn't really seem to fit the pattern of these new characters. The other three, at least in my opinion, seem to clearly parallel to members of 2gumi. "Fan boy" is obsessed with the Mankai Company as a whole, while Masumi is obsessed with Izumi. "Boy who stands out" is gnc, just like Yuki. And "boy with a birthmark" has to balance how delinquency impacts his love of theater, just like Juza.

But "an elegant boy" has... nothing to be compared with Tasuku, IMO. And the only thing we really know about him is that he "watched the play via stream and says they should give their dad the url archive later".

The other thing I find odd is his outfit. His vest is frayed and torn at the end, which doesn't match the rest of his vibes. And his sleeves are so long that they cover up his hands.

But you know what character this *does* parallel?

Hisoka Mikage, whose original Gekkagumi coat had frayed ends and whose default coat nearly covers his hands.

So, what does this mean...?

Um. Well. I told you this theory was tenuous. To be honest, I don't really know. I think my most insane and batshit hope is that this kid's dad is somehow tied to Gekkagumi, and that he'll allow us to finally get resolution on whatever the connection is between Hajime Yukishiro and Gekkagumi is.

If you guys have any better theories, let me know. Because I really do think something is Up with this guy.

Emlyn White

He's such a feast for the tumblrinas. A loser. Bratty, bitchy, arrogant in the most pathetic of ways, rich snobby boy, just great. He's a vampire(but don't you dare call him that) and he collects dolls, and he'd rather die than admit he likes volunteering at the local church. A sopping wet mess of a man. He's very dear to me

Hisoka Mikage

hisoka is constantly connected to the moon in a major thematic way. hisoka's two in game solo songs are "traumerei to kuhaku" which contains the lyric "the loneliness of the cold moon is strangely nostalgic to me" and "nachtmusik and white moon" he also has a solo song in a3's stage play called "tsukikage no koe" which translates to "the voice of the moon's shadow"

in terms of story, hisoka has amnesia at the start of the game, and often mentions the moon without really understanding why: "the moon is big... why do i suddenly feel sad?" "the moon is calling for me... i have to go." his initial ssr—the very first card of him—features a full moon behind him, and the line you get with this card is: "only the moon is watching me… stay away from me…"

hisoka doesn't regain his memories until later in the game, but in act 4, while he still has amnesia, he cries in front of the moon, saying he did something unforgivable to someone, before passing out. he later claims not to remember this.

BIG SPOILERS: hisoka watched his older brother august die on the night of a beautiful full moon. august was killed by someone who wears moon earrings!! hisoka fell from a cliff that night, and lost his memories. as he fell, he recalls: "my vision turned over, the strangely beautiful full moon caught my eye and burned its image into my mind alongside a deep regret."

the fanmade term for august, hisoka and chikage’s family is "gekkagumi" or moon group.

i had to

[carrotenjoyer]

chikage birth last name reveal???

apologies if this has been done before, but i was looking at finnish last names and saw this and then remembered that it’s implied in moon traveler that chikage is of finnish origins, it’s perfect

[scottishaccentsareawesome]

All jokes aside, waking up in somebody else's body, with parents who were someone else's, and without your twin, would be absolutely hell. So poor Billy Maximoff...:(

[lord-luminous]

Some kids have a mom and/or a dad, some have two moms or two dads, but Billy Maximoff is different. He has 4 moms and 2 dads, and extra trauma for good measure.

hey guys! me again, i have a lilia x reader fic done! or at least the first part. this will be sort of long, tons of smut included, eventually. its a non-magic au, based on a student/professor dynamic. for the run down; lilia calderu is your philosophical study teacher in college. you skip class for the first few weeks, not really interested in a class with a bunch of university freshman, because the class was taken by mostly them. when you finally do decide to show up, your professor calls you out in front of the class, and tells you to stay after. she tells you she wants to see you in the class, and you notice some things about her that intrigue you. she assumes you're a stupid young adult, just doing whatever you want, but you're determined to show her you're much smarter than she thinks. you start going to every class she has, taking no notes, which seemed to annoy her. what seemed to surprise, aggravate, and maybe even impress lilia even more was how well you did on all of her assignments. they were all based on background research. just to spite you, to win this understood yet unspoken battle between the two of you, she assigns an essay based around creating your own philosophy for a construct of society. you, starting to find yourself thinking of your professor, always wondering what she was doing, if she thought of you, if you got under her skin as much as she got under yours, choose "competition", as your construct. the things you write are about her, about how she enrages but fuels you, and how competition can shape attraction and desire. she reads it, and she feels this desire for you. lilia had commented on everyone else's submissions in class besides yours, and you decide to ask about it one day after class, when you're alone with her. it's dangerous, mostly because the pull between you two is becoming too much to ignore. she tells you your construct and philosophy don't go together, and you become frustrated. you demand her to tell you why, so desperate for her to admit she thinks highly of you. she sits in her chair behind her desk, and asks you to leave. you don't accept it, and you try and get her to look at you. when she doesn't, you turn her chair, and you make her look at you. you expected to tell her off, because usually you would in this situation.. but something else happens. instead, you kiss her. one thing leads to another, and you find yourself in her bed. the rest of the fanfic just explores the power dynamic and sexual/romantic connection between lilia and yourself.

Crona Gorgon

No propaganda provided. 

Mod created propaganda/explanation, as none of the submitters left any: Major spoilers for the manga version of soul eater. At the end of the manga, Crona ends up sealing themself on the moon with their blood in order to contain the Kishin (whose the main villain.) Also, canon non-binary character, though most versions don’t reflect it because it’s an old series.

idk just something about how wanda and agatha are both mothers is really getting to me today

something about the way agatha says “you tied your family to this twisted world and now one can’t exist without the other” in a different tone than we ever hear from her. one of the only times that she isn’t putting on a show or mocking her because she gets it

“Vision was gone, but you. wanted. him. back.”

different obviously because vision is her husband, but the tone agatha uses. like she understand ripping the world apart to get to her family. she could never judge her for what she did in westview because she gets it. she probably would have done it herself if she had the power. the only thing agatha hates about wanda is the power she wields with no regard for what it can do

but agatha has gone so long without Nicky at this point (likely HUNDREDS of years), she has probably tried everything but has had to accept that maybe she’ll never get him back and wanda just hasn’t reached that level yet

idk anyway bye agatha singing lorna’s song made to protect her child is something personal to me

Kagari Amagase

Things I can Only Do With You at Night: Ch1 | Ch2 | Ch3 | Ch4 | Card

When I had finally started getting used to life in Kogyoku, where I’d come for a bookstore restock trip—

Child 1: "Yaaah— Whoa!?"

Kagari: "Too much wasted movement."

Child 2: "You’re wide open— Ugh!"

Kagari: "The one with an opening is you."

Child 3: "Got you— Gah!?"

Kagari: "Your grip is too weak."

(Wow… he’s merciless.)

At a dojo in the neighboring town, Prince Kagari was giving the children a lesson in swordsmanship.

The kids charged at him all at once, swinging their bamboo swords, but Prince Kagari dodged them with ease, his expression unwavering.

He blocked an attack from behind without even looking, sweeping the child’s legs out from under them, and used his hands to grab the hilt of their sword to throw

It was almost like a game, as one after another, the children rolled across the floor.

(He's even being mindful to make sure they don't bump into each other... It's like he has eyes on the back of his head.) ●●●●●● Flashback ●●●●●●

Kagari: “Well, fancy seeing you here, princess. Out on your own?"

Kagari: "Me? I’m on my way to teach swordsmanship to the kids at the dojo."

Kagari: "……Want to come along?"

●●●●●● Flashback End ●●●●●●

(I guess it was good thing I decided to take a walk around the town.)

Despite the intense training, the children didn’t seem to lose their motivation. In fact, their determination seemed to grow stronger.

I couldn't take my eyes off Prince Kagari, admiring how his guidance drew such spirit out of them.

After the training session ended, Prince Kagari sat cross-legged next to me, his face as composed as ever.

Emma: "Great work. Would you like some water?"

Kagari: "No, I’m fine. I was just playing with kittens, after all."

(He dealt with a dozen kids at once and calls it playing… He really is amazing.)

Kagari: "You were watching pretty intently. Was the training that unusual?"

As Prince Kagari propped his chin on his hand, looking at me, I nodded in response.

Emma: "It’s my first time seeing something like that up close. In my country, it’s rare for so many children to be trained in swordsmanship."

Kagari: "Is that so? Here in Kogyoku, there are kendo dojos in every town, so there are plenty of opportunities to learn."

Kagari: "Children are taught to wield a sword and protect themselves from a young age. You could call it a compulsory skill."

(In a war-torn country like Kogyoku, it's commonplace for everyone to carry weapons, regardless of age or gender...)

The children who had been practicing earlier were now running around the dojo, laughing and playing.

(For those kids, dedicating themselves to sword training is not just about pursuing their dreams of becoming warriors,) (But also about protecting themselves and their loved ones from the dangers that threaten their lives.)

Learning this through today’s session, I felt my chest tighten as I reflected on the differences between this country and the one I grew up in.

Emma: "Do you often teach the children, Prince Kagari?"

Kagari: "I usually leave it to my subordinates, but I teach whenever I can make time."

(That makes sense. Prince Kagari is the commander of his unit and a key figure in this region’s defense. It must be hard to find time for things like this.)

I felt lucky to have seen Prince Kagari teaching the children today.

At that moment, several children came over, their eyes sparkling with curiosity.

Child 1: "Teacher, is she your girlfriend?"

Kagari: "No."

Child 2: "Aww, really? You've never brought a woman with you before, so we thought maybe—"

Child 3: "I told you! Teacher only cares about dorayaki and swords!"

Child 2: "Are you seriously planning to stay single forever, Teacher? Or are you marrying a dorayaki?"

Kagari: "Most people die alone anyway. It’s best to remember that."

Kagari: "You all seem to have a lot of energy. Want to go for another set of practice? I’d be happy to oblige."

Children: "Noooo! Teacher, you’re a demon!"

Kagari: "Before that, shouldn’t you greet our guest first?"

Children: "Hello!"

Emma: "H-hello."

Kagari: "Good. Never forget to greet others, no matter the situation."

Children: "Okay!"

(The must feel comfortable around him to speak so freely like this.)

(Still… being mistaken for Prince Kagari’s girlfriend…)

I couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed at the misunderstanding.

Child 2: "If she’s not your girlfriend, then why’d you bring her here?"

Kagari: "She seemed interested in joining the training, so I invited her."

Emma: "Was that it?"

Kagari: "Yeah.

Kagari: You’re easy to read. That’s something I’ve learned about you."

(Prince Kagari notices everything... It's kind of intimidating but also reassuring.)

Trying to hide a growing smile, I casually covered my mouth with my hand.

Child 1: "Aww, if you were his girlfriend, we could have teased you two during the festival."

Emma: "A festival? There’s a festival happening?"

(Now that they mention it… the streets have felt livelier over the past few days.)

Kagari: "You didn’t know? This town is holding a festival soon."

Kagari: "It’s not a huge one, but there will be fireworks."

Emma: "Really? I’ve never been to a festival in Kogyoku before."

Kagari: "…Is that so? This will be your first, then."

Child 1: "Hey, hey! My family runs a sweets shop, and we’re putting up a stall at the festival!"

Child 3: "The sakura manju are the best. The skin is so chewy, and they taste amazing!"

Child 1: "We’re working super hard to prepare, so Teacher, you and the lady should come check it out!"

Emma: "Sure, I’ll definitely come!"

Child 1: "Yes! One more customer secured!"

Though I agreed in the moment, I was already filled with excitement at the idea of going to the festival. My mind began to fill with images of colorful food stalls lined up in the streets.

(The owner said there would be stalls here that can’t be found in Rhodolite.)

(I hope I’ll be able to see and experience everything during my first foreign festival.)

As I let my imagination run wild like a child, I felt a steady gaze from beside me, sharp yet unreadable.

Emma: "Um… Is something wrong, Prince Kagari?"

Kagari: "No, nothing."

(He says that, but why won’t he look away?)

(Come to think of it… I wonder if Prince Kagari plans to go to the festival.)

Kagari: "…"

Kagari: "………"

Emma: "……..……"

(……This is so unsettling.)

After the children had left, I left the dojo with Prince Kagari.

As the sound of our footsteps echoed in the quiet hallway as we walked side by side, I felt his gaze constantly fixed on me.

(Maybe he wants to say something… Hmm, but I can’t figure out what it could be.)

Kagari: "Princess."

Emma: "Ah! Y-Yes? What is it?"

He suddenly leaned in closer, his sharp features coming near, and I reflexively leaned back.

Kagari: "Among all the regions in Kogyoku, my territory is relatively the safest. It even attracts a fair number of tourists."

Kagari: "Even if this festival is small in scale, it has more liveliness and entertainment than festivals in other territories."

Emma: "I see. That makes me even more excited for the day to come."

(…Why is he suddenly promoting the festival?)

Kagari: "But for someone coming from another country with no familiarity with the area, it might be hard to fully enjoy the festival."

Kagari: "So, that's why—"

(Could this be… No way…)

A different kind of anticipation stirred in my chest, making me unusually nervous.

With a composed yet serious demeanor, Prince Kagari fixed his gaze on me and—

me: i sure hope this elegant boy character ties up some loose plot threads with a winter troupe character!

the a3 writers, about to drop his last name: haha. sure

Episode 7 was really good. Lilia is such an amazing character and I'm glad she fully realized herself even if that ultimately happened in her death scene.

But, I honestly don't how I truly feel about Agatha All Along as a show. Because I liked the Coven of Chaos as a concept, especially with Agatha as the leader. It was interesting but with each member of the coven dying... I feel sad. Mostly that means we wont do anything else with these characters. Nor will they mean anything to Agatha. So their little found family isn't that.

And I guess that's fair. Maybe Agatha isnt going to be a coven witch. She always worked solo. So it's fine. Jen will hopefully move on, Billy will go back home with his lead to Tommy, and Agatha will get her power and realize her desires.

I think I'm still attached to the version of the show I wanted. This coven of wayward witches who make a powerful combination together that would be unmatched even though they hate each other. It reminded me of the Avengers I guess. A ragtag team of unlikely allies being able to harmonize to get the job done.

Well I suppose it'll be the AU in my head where the witches become a coven that wouldn't be messed with.

Though I am curious. What is Agatha's character arc ending? Usually you can predict what the characters are going to get by the end of the show, like Sam becoming Captain America, Wanda becoming the Scarlet Witch, or Kamala becoming more confident as Ms. Marvel. I wonder where Agatha is meant to go? Is it just that she wants her magic back? Because I thought she got that at the end of the trial where she absorbed Alice's magic. Is it fighting for Billy and caring for him? I do wonder where they want to go with Agatha if it isnt finding a sisterhood for herself.
