i need the waxwitch agenda to spread so bad. yes i know you can only meet icarus after beating chronos and you only see him in the furthest zone on the surface so far. yes i know you have to get there multiple times to piece together his backstory with mel. yes i know his storyline is barely finished and he can't show up at the crossroads and he doesn't even have a 3d model or finished character art. i can wait patiently

i'm having trouble forming this thought into words but there's something about melinoë being raised the way that she was and being taught to think the way that she does to the point of not being able to think any other way. it's not naivety and it very much reminds me of how prejudices get passed from parent to child. i keep seeing these statements coming from the olympians saying that the old golden age was a farce and that chronos is manipulating the humans into following him (note that we don't have any living human perspective on what's happening, so we don't really know how far chronos' reach has spread. all we have to go on is what's happening in the realms of the gods and in ephyra). it's all being perpetuated by gods that melinoë has been raised to trust and believe in. i think she could be nearing a tipping point as the plot progresses, though. like i said, i don't think there's necessarily a "good" or "bad" side here, only the side that melinoë/the player is on and the side that chronos is on (plus many of the NPCs that we meet who are generally uninvolved in the whole mess). but there's also a lot that we're missing simply because melinoë is unaware of it.

tell him to arch his back and then look back at me, mean. like a dragon

ok I wasn't going to make a post about this but unfortunately I have no choice. I have just watched the 2004 movie Starsky & Hutch, starring Ben Stiller as David Starsky, also starring Dave Strider's very cool very ironic sunglasses.

now here's the thing. you would think that Dave, known cool guy who places a lot of Importance on being cool, would wear sunglasses that belonged to a suave badass character. NOT SO. Starsky is the biggest fucking loser in the world here, an absolute laughing stock, the butt of most of the jokes. here's a partial rundown of the shit he gets into (spoilers for the 2004 movie Starsky & Hutch)

attempts to trash talk a dead body

shoots the tail off an iguana

gets laughed at for wearing a fake mustache

tells criminals that it's cool to be themselves

owns a cooking apron that says KISS THE COP

puts police evidence in his night coffee

gets stabbed multiple times by a child

jumps out of a giant gift box while dressed as a mime

shoots a pony that is a gift for a girl's bat mitzvah

gets told by his boss that his mom would be disappointed in him

leaves a donut on his mom's grave

shoots his boss while trying to do a trick shot

drives his car into the ocean for no reward

meets the future version of himself and exclusively talks about driving tips

I understand why Dave likes this movie. It's funny, can definitely be read as ironic, very homoerotic in ways that can easily be played off as just jokes, a really terrible CGI explosion at one point, and Snoop Dogg kicks ass as Huggy Bear. But I'd expect Dave to watch this and thing 'I'm like Hutch, the cool and charismatic one who's above the rules, and my silly friend John is like Starsky who wears a cardigan to work and cries when he tells me I'm a good cop' but he is literally cosplaying Starsky every day. He even has a similar name.

Anyway this movie is very fun, it is a cop movie but all the cops are pretty incompetent and it's not as aggressively pro cop as a lot of cop media, and there weren't any super offensive jokes. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a goofy comedy. 7/10

interesting detail i noticed that probably nobody else actually cares about: in two chrono stone games trailers where saru's first appearance is shown, he has two ampoules on his arm instead of the captain band he ends up wearing in the games cutscene

the two trailers in question: (1) (2)

all the other chrono stone trailers do not have this scene - and from what i could find, not even the european ones show it so is really just there!

also, in the anime he doesn't wear anything at all, so im guessing that at some point they simply changed their ideas about his game appearance?? or maybe they used a different/unused version of that cutscene???who knows but it's interesting imho!

Imagine god! Nico personally escorting Hazel's ghost to the Underworld. He holds her hand throughout the entire journey; refuses to let it - her - go as he stands with her before the three judges. And Hades is there for once, waiting for his children. Once the judgment is passed - Hazel is offered her rightful place in Elysium, as expected - he extends a hand to his daughter, who simply smiles as she grasps it with her free hand.

There's much to be said, but none of them speak as they continue their journey. Not that Nico could muster any words; it's not his first permanent goodbye, but it's the last and the most painful one. He reigns his emotion well, he believes, watching with a smile as Hazel disappears past the gates of Elysium. It's only when the weight of his father's hand rests on his shoulder that the dam breaks.

This is the most painful price he has to pay for accepting immortality - watching as his loved ones pass one by one. He's aware of the consequences of his decision, but each passing still chips away parts of his soul that he will never recover.

"Watch over her for me?" He asks of his father once he's able to regain his composure.

His father offers him a rare smile. "Always."

Movie Hoopa: The reason for these "intruders" was me! Hee hee! Were you surprised?

"No, no. Don't think you can just come in here and ruin my fun." The Hoopa shook their head in disapproval. "This is a Journey ONLY space, which means I'm supposed to be the most annoying thing in it, NOT YOU. I don't need competition, Soooo!" They quickly began to materialize one of their portal rings above the unwelcome guest.

Journey gleefully smiled as they closed their portal, "No more yooou~ Have fun in that feral universe! I'm sure the Yungoos there would love to try deity flesh, I heard It's reallly tasty!"

→ Seems Journey disapproves of other unwelcomed Hoopas invading their space... Jealousy, perhaps?

[image id: An edited version of the "McDonald's Alignment Chart" meme. Written at the top is "Children Yelling: McDonalds! McDonalds! McDonalds!" To the left and below the text is chibi art of the Caligula Effect Overdose protagonists. The main part of the meme features a triangle with the three corners labelled, each featuring a character from Devil Survivor 2. The top corner is labelled "We have food at home" and features Io Nitta. The bottom left corner is labelled "*Pulls into the drive through as children cheer* *Orders a single black coffee and leaves*" and features the Devil Survivor 2 protagonist. The bottom right corner is labelled "McDonalds! McDonalds! McDonalds!" and features Daichi Shijima. /end id]

Bought Caligula Effect Overdose on sale, so have a niche crossover meme featuring an OT3 and a dream headcanon.
