#EOM Reacts

[chernobog13]

EOM REACTS

Just wanna give a shout out to one of the greatest pleasures in my life right now: the Youtube channel EOM Reacts, formerly known as Extraordinarily Ordinary Media. It's a reaction channel, but magnitudes better than every other reaction channel out there.

The host, J, aka The Murder Whistle, sits in his bedroom with his two dogs (J refers to them as his co-pilots, Drogo and Romulus, and watches films and television shows he's never seen before. There's a lot he's never seen, so there's plenty of material.

The show is like watching a movie with your best and funniest friend in the world. J is hilarious, and it's not an act; it's 100% authentic. Drogo and Rom get in on the act as well, which is a bonus, especially if you like dogs. Let me tell you, I've never laughed so hard so much on a regular basis.

New shows drop every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. And J just recently added a new day, Saturday, dedicated to watching only slasher/scary movies. Appropriately enough, it's called Slasher Saturday. Those are especially fun, because J's reaction to blood and gore needs to be seen to be believed!

Just a word of warning, some of the language is of the adult variety. While the films are playing J's editor, Blank, censors him, but before and after the film almost anything goes. The man says STFU better than anyone I've ever heard.

And you need to hear J talk about Danny Glover's knees. Yes, THAT Danny Glover. Pure gold.

I've linked the latest reaction from Wednesday, Jurassic World, down below. Check it out. Hopefully you'll enjoy it as much as I do.

Watching the Avantris & Chill episode for EoM ep 2 and hearing the backstory of who Petrini is is fantastic, I see why everyone reacted the way that they did and I love that Nikkie incorporated that into the story, invoking IRL horror and fear into the players 😂

SIREN AU??? 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀

:]c

I wish I had more art to offer for it but I think it's just a one-time thing since I have way too many other ideas hsjdfhgjksfd

I do have some tentative lore stuff though:

-the EoM are a group of artificial mermaid sirens, and (independent) plants are bird sirens. there are natural-born mermaid sirens as well

-both types of sirens imbue their songs with magic, but bird sirens can also conceal their avian features

-EoM sirens were formerly human, and their targets for experiments are children because they tend to be more resistant to the allure of siren songs (they lose this resistance as they grow older). I don't really know how this ties in with what knives wants, or even what knives's goal in this au is to begin with, but it was a concept that was floating around while I was drawing

-in the first encounter, wolfwood finds vash sitting alone on a rock in the water (a different rock than the one in the comic) and attempts to lure him with his song, except vash doesn't react at all. wolfwood's close enough to see that his ears aren't plugged, and he suddenly gets an uneasy feeling and leaves. vash doesn't actually see wolfwood (because he surfaced behind him), but he remembers his song, which is how he recognizes it the second time they meet

-ironically the reason vash didn't react was because he was entranced by wolfwood's song

-there's only like. a couple days that pass between the 1st and 2nd encounters

-it's sort of implied that wolfwood was practicing/singing to himself in the first panel of the comic, since he didn't expect to see anyone there. he figures out that vash is the same guy who was immune to the song because it's never happened before

-vash's shirt has an open back and you can see it in the comic if you look at the top-down view in the first page x)

All of the questions for Ji Hu

I am feral for more content, please. I love Seven, yes; however, the feral platonic love I already have for Ji Hu is mildly concerning. I need to be beasties (besties but we're feral) with the fellow gremlin.

Since this is going to be long its all going under a cut

1. what are the basics of your self insert? name, date of birth, height, etc.? Name: Ji-Hu Yoon DOB: 11/16 Age: 20 Height: 4'10" Weight: 130 pounds.

2. when in canon does your self insert come in? do you have a scene in mind for your entrance?

The gang would meet him along their travels. Since Ji Hu sorta "runs" a town with his gang. I say run rather they just bullied everyone into submission and now they steal kids candy and rich peoples money and also kick rich old men for funsies.

3. how do the other characters generally feel about your self insert?

Vash: Thinks Ji-Hu is a bit of a brat. Think exactly how he reacted to Katie in tri98. You know when he was slamming his head into Katie over and over? Yeah, same thing Wolfwood: These two butt heads hard. The second Wolfwood opens his mouth with an insult they are straight fighting each other. Wolfwood does remember who Ji Hu is but since Ji Hu doesn't, Ji Hu thinks Wolfwood is just a condescending asshole Milly: .....His wife t4t wife Meryl: He loves to pick of Meryl. Bullies her about being short despite literally being short himself

5. does your self insert have any special powers or abilities?

He is an EOM sleeper agent. If he were to ever be activated he would easily slaughter a town with raw strength. However until it's unlocked he's literally just a dude!

6. does your self insert have any pets?

None!

7. would any other characters (besides your f/o) have a crush on your self insert?

Maybe Vash????? Maybe Wolfwood?????? I'm not sure. He's a huge brat its hard to get through to him

8. what is your self insert’s orientation?

He's bi but don't ask him what his gender is cause he doesn't know either

10. how do the other characters feel about your self insert and f/o’s relationship?

No one understands how Milly of all people was able to get him to soften up. He utterly refuses to be soft with Milly around others and still sorta gives her the same lip he gives everyone else but she just picks him up and goes "Oh sweet boy calm down!" and pats his back like a baby until he shuts up.

11. what kind of outfit(s) does your self insert wear?

That signature look stays pretty much 24/7. Ankle length brown skirt and a varsity jacket. You'll pretty much never see him in anything else. He might take the jacket off sometimes but he just wears a dress shirt under it.

13. does your self insert have any information about their family?

His real family? No. The fake family background that Knives and the EOM members gave to him? Yeah. :3c

14. what hobbies does your self insert have?

Bullying rich people and stealing candy from kids.

15. how does your self insert play a role in the plot of the story? do they help directly defeat the villain, support the heroes, etc.?

He's a conflict of interest. Obviously once they get to know him better they want to protect him....but once that switch is set off how would they feel seeing the damage he can cause? :3c

16. freebie! name a fact about your self insert you want everyone to know.

Ji Hu has a VIOLENT sweet tooth. Basically everything he eats is sweet as hell. Even his coffee is absolutely loaded with sugar until you can hardly taste the coffee.

[tri-punisher]

I want you to know that every time you post art or just a good take on media etc i feel like that one Eminem rat throwing meme and i do not know how to explain it further than that but- i got to ask I noticed in your tag that Lesley is one of the only people razlo lets loose around is there any special reasoning for that? Did they go through anything together? (other than the general eom experience) or has lesley just "proven" herself that she doesnt want/need anything more than razlo friendship

this wasn't my intent initially bc i just wanted to give razlo more friends, which was also the reason for lockjaw's conception, but lesley becomes a sort of refuge for razlo as their friendship progresses and razlo and sid's continues to do a death spiral into destructive codependency. a lot of the time when razlo's with lesley he has to mimic livio in order to get sid off his back, because sid is a possessive, vindictive little cunt and would have nothing positive to say about lesley if you asked him (which is funny to me now considering i had also conceived lesley as sid's friend too) and will usually leave livio alone if he knows it's him. when lesley joined the eye she was a lot older than sid and LR were when they were first brought into it, sid i'm imagining being the youngest and thereby being with them the longest, and not in quite as dire circumstances so her head was screwed on a little better then theirs were, meaning she's generally capable of acting somewhat more mature and levelheaded. the way lesley reacts to sid and all his bullshit is the first inkling razlo gets that there's clearly something wrong with the way that he treats him. not that he has a whole lot to compare it to, under chapel's rules and restrictions and expectations and punishments, but it's obvious with how much lesley despises sid's behaviour that something is up. lesley can largely get along with everyone else because she's not one for starting trouble, she's usually the one who ends it. even if she doesn't like a lot of other people she has the capacity to at least pretend to be cordial as to not make trouble for herself. she keeps her head down a lot, though she does go to bat for razlo more than she would anyone else because razlo does the same for her. she has a lot of trouble tolerating sidney though. their personalities are too incongruent and she thinks his behaviour is outrageous and over the top on the best of occasions. similarly to razlo it takes a lot for lesley to actually get angry--razlo i believe is quick to respond, to retaliate, not quick to anger--and unlike sid violence isn't her first option when things don't go the way she wants. her temperament is a lot milder. but sid has a knack for getting under her skin and 9 times out of 10 it's because it involves razlo.

so summarily: lesley is someone razlo can go to when he wants a break from everything and everyone. like i mentioned in those tags, lesley does not expect anything from him and does not want anything from him, except his company. he does not need to perform for her, or be a hard example of durability and strength, or dutifully uphold expectations placed upon him, or, where sidney is usually concerned, expect him to be baited by every spiteful rapid fire shotgun attempt at conflict that's thrown at him. when he's with her he can just be. it's not an opportunity razlo is afforded often.

[transingthoseformers]

Back on EoM, and Megatron is really going in depth to Ratchet exactly why he reacted so harshly to the miner's death, Starscream, Optimus, and just the horrific meaning of being deemed disposable.

[notedoesart]

Well I finished it days ago but lol

About

Name | Lethe the Nightmare Gender | Masc Nonbinary (AFAB) Pronouns | He/They Age | Early 20s Occupation | Assassin Loyalty | Eye of Michael, Knives

Appearance | Lethe is rather short and quite skinny, easily coming across as malnourished. Their hair is dirty blond and kept cut to about their chin in a slightly messy bob that falls over their face. Their eyes are a stunning pink purple, some leftover genetic modification in his DNA. They are remarkably beautiful.

(Faceclaim is Sakura Haruzumi of Adekan)

Abilities | Though Lethe was never given the honour of a Punisher to wield, the weapon he uses is still rather large and unexpected. He uses a modified bastard sword that functions as a gunblade; dubbed the Nightmare. However, the use of it takes a large toll on him, and so he quickly developed more psychological techniques when it came to his assassination efforts.

He reacts well to the EOM's drugs but as his body is constantly destroying itself, he needs constant access to them to maintain his strength. His tolerance to the drugs is higher than others; his doses are smaller but far more frequent. He is unsure if the EOM does not know how to cure his illness, or if they simply prefer that he is reliant on them.

Bio | Lethe has been sick for as long as he can remember, a sickly child growing into a chronically ill adult. Growing up weak and unable to do much, he was not popular in a town that relied on each other heavily.

When the Eye of Michael approached his family with offers of treatment and release, he was quickly handed over to them. Though the 'treatment' of the EOM's experiments did usually cure such weaknesses, they claimed that it was an issue of his DNA itself rather than an actual disease. But he took well to the training that followed. He would never be Chapel's favourite, and would never wield a Punisher, due to his weaknesses; but he got by fine.

He found particular joy in playing into his illness when dealing with targets; making himself out to be pathetic and vulnerable and playing with them until they let their guards down. Having grown up being looked down on and pitied, being able to control and abuse that gave him a twisted enjoyment.

[makima-s-most-smile]

Well, for Vash, yes. And thus for us, because we mostly see the story from Vash' POV.

Maybe it is because of Knives. Because Knives kills wholly selfishly. Killing is Knives' way to cut out any discussion. It is not even about his needs, but about his wants and about control. Knives has the power and the ability to avoid killing. Hell, if he worked with Vash together, Vash would have so many less scars on his body. Considering that, Vash has a reason to see killing as an act of selfishness.

Vash is unable to fathom or understand that some people have to kill to preserve either their own life or the lifes of their loved ones. That's what his first real conflict with Wolfwood was about. Wolfwood decided that Vash was more important to him than Rai-Dei. And I do not know if he ever really gets to truly understand Wolfwood's position. Even in his final fight with Legato, he kills Legato to preserve the person Wolfwood protected. It is less about protecting Livio, less about deciding to pull the lever on the trolley problem to help Livio, but more about preserving who was important to Wolfwood and thus idolising Wolfwood in his dire grief. Vash is not about the living people, he is about memorialising and idolising the dead.

Through the whole story, Vash has massive problems in connecting with living people. We see Meryl, Milly, Wolfwood, the Doc, Brad, Luida, Brandon and more reach out to Vash again and again, but he is always dodging, avoiding and keeping them at an arms length. Wolfwood gets crumbs and Meryl even less at the end. And they get those only by constantly running after Vash and more or less making themselfes be unavoidable. But connections are so important. They ground you and make life worth living.

Of course, Vash can throw his life on the line for his morals, because he has nothing holding him in the living world. Everyone he truly loves is dead. And thus he is above that moral conundrum that is trying to stay alive for the people he loves and doing his pariah shit. It circles back to Vash clinging to his loss and having a unconscious desire to hurt from it. (Because not hurting would mean that he may forget them or that he is disrespecting their importance in his existence?) Vash does not have to consolidate their lives and safety with reality/survival, because the people he loves are only memory. It boils down to just Vash and his loss. There is never a real consequence to what happens if Vash strays from his chosen path. (Except that he may be hurt less by others, but then he has to deal with connecting with people, loss and, worse, with the feelings that come from that and from his own actions, instead of being hurt by others and just reacting.)

Vash is so much about no acting. Vash only reacts and dodges. He avoids Knives until he is unable to do so, because he has no final answer. He avoids any connection. He only reacts to people hurting him and even then by dodging and running away, maybe shooting, but never to kill. Vash next to never takes an action. Because Vash has no real goal. Vash just exists. But I digress.

An important foil to Vash' moral stance is Wolfwood. Wolfwood kills even though he suffers by doing so. He is buckling under the guilt he is carrying for his actions. There is an argument to be made that while Wolfwood kills to protect the orphanage, that this protection is also a justification for his own survival, which, in the end, circles back to selfishness. But since Wolfwood threw his life away to protect Livio and the orphanage, I feel it is debatable. Wolfwood kills selflessly. He is a highly moral person, but reality forced him to kill. He does not kill to preserve his ideals or any memory. If Wolfwood does not kill, there is a direct and dire consequence by the threat that the EoM is for the orphanage. Wolfwood is not part of the things he wishes to protect. Wolfwood exists wholly to protect others from his fate. Wolfwood's goal is to protect. And that is why he can and does act if confronted with stuff. And more importantly, Wolfwood takes responsibility for his own actions. (Unlike Knives, who says everything for Tesla and unlike Vash, who takes responsibility for everything and thus for nothing in the end.) And even when Wolfwood followed Vash' path in sparing who he could, he still killed. He killed Chapel. Wolfwood's path had been getting closer to Vash, but he stayed the realist he was til the very end. Wolfwood always was about protecting the living and their future.

And 'til the end, Vash does not get it. He does not get that you can kill to protect. Because Vash avoids and others everyone around him. Vash is a bystander. Vash and the dead people in his head.

It is very interesting to me that the act of killing in Trigun is less about morality as it is about raw human selfishness. Either as a way of preservation of self or others.

That's why Vash never kills in any version of Trigun because it's the "right thing to do" but because he wants to preserves his loved ones. He always 'pick up the gun' selfishly.

Even his reasons as to not kill aren't fully anchored in morality. It has always been about preserving people he loved.

Is Moonjo's meat really that unethically sourced tho?🤔

I mean aside from the cannibalism.🌸

If we compare it to actual slaughterhouses I would argue the the "meat" had a much more life normal and a much longer lifetime than cattle.

And technically they didn't need to be transported to the slaughterhouse, because they were actually living in it.......

Further we could argue that, while Eden meat consumption might not be ethical it is at least eco-friendly, because they don't buy other meat and reduce a human from the earth which both reduces the carbon footprint.....🤔

On that note I always wonder, if they had a new tenant that was vegan and they reacted on the human meat joke like "that's a dead body! I'm vegan I don't eat that."

We're they had the residents in the first half, would the second sentence promise their instant death sentence?

Hello, anon!

For this specific mental exercise, I'll put the cannibalism factor aside, as you suggested, and look at their diet as any other meat-based one.

There is still no thoughtfulness regarding the animals, if you consider the mental and physical torture they go through (for days, weeks, and occasionally months), but I agree that the period of stress is considerably shorter in time for them than for common cattle.

I don't know if they don't buy other types of meat (the influx of humans at Eden doesn't seem to be regular enough to feed all of them on a daily basis—but they also don't live in luxury, so it is possible they don't indulge in meat-consumption that often), but it's true that taking humans out of the environment is largely efficient to reduce the carbon footprint.

Now, that all being said, and as benevolent to nature as your thought process is, I hope you still have in mind that eco-friendliness has nothing to do with these characters' diet choices. Neither it has anything to do with the meat, for that matter. Human meat is not exceptionally delectable or healthy (it can't be, with the amount of toxicants, drugs, and utter garbage that we consume willingly). Maybe all of them have a distinct reason (or no reason at all) to why they eat it, but it's not to sustain their bodies, save the environment, or have a good meal. It's about the meat being human, specifically, and I can't continue without bringing cannibalism back into equation, so I better stop here, but I know you understand what I mean.

About your vegan OC... What a disappointment he would be! They wouldn't be able to make him eat for shit. The joke would have no effect if he didn't eat first *insert Moonjo's pouting face here*.... But, on the other hand, Ms. Eom still have some mushrooms he might like :D (or maybe not).

Thank you for sharing your fascinating thoughts with me, anon. You're welcome to come again as much as you wish.

Have a good day 💛

cheryl! hi! i was just wondering, has junior ever called friday "eomma" or "mommy" at one point, before started copying jin??

also, reading kittenfishing and your other works soon! been busy lately that's why 😭😭

Aaaaahh, Kenji!! Thanks and excited that you'll be reading, but also just really glad to hear from you! 💜💜

As for Junior, well, I don't know, but I seem to remember a moment?

(Content warning: mention of drugs -- uh, I know that seems weird given that Junior's around, but Jin is only lightly referring to something, and with Junior's quick mind and nimble ears, it kinda turns into a funny moment, much to Friday's chagrin 😬)

Friday: Say "Eomma!"

Baby Junior giggles happily in Friday's hold. The two of them, plus Jin, are on the bed, just playing and laying around.

Friday: Say "Eom-ma!"

Jin: Friday, I know he's your progeny, but he's too young.

Friday: Nonsense.

Jin: And he's half mine, so you may want to lower your expecta---

Friday: (to Jin) None of that talk! (turns back to Junior) Only positive talk! To promote and sustain a healthy environment for the apple of our eye, the pride and joy of your dear sweet Eomma and Appa!

Baby Junior: Ah!

Jin and Friday exchange glances.

Baby Junior: (furrowing brow, struggling to get sounds out) Ah! Ahhhh-p... Ahhhh-p... Ahhh-pa!

Jin and Friday laugh and squeal excitedly.

Baby Junior: Ah-pa! AH-PA! Appa appa appappappappa---

Jin: Oh my god, this is better than heroin.

Baby Junior: Oh! (babbling in between) In! Oh-in!

Friday: Ah, Jin!

Jin: Sorry!

Baby Junior: Chin!

Friday: (unsure how to react) Jin!

Jin: (cackling, mocking) Friday!

Baby Junior: (struggling, nose scrunching) Eye... Eye-yay!

Friday: No no no, baby no, stick with Eomma and Appa!

Baby Junior: (happy) Appa! APPA! APPA!

All three: (clapping and singing, Jin pressing a kiss to Friday's temple) Appa, Appa, Appa!

Friday: Yay!

Baby Junior: Yay! Eye-yay! Appa eye-yay!

(Jin cackles)

Jin: Oh my god, he's going to call you Friday?! (to Baby Junior) This is the best thing you could have given me, son. I will never forget this.

(Baby Junior keeps repeating "Eye-yay". Friday eyes Jin with annoyance.)

Jin: At least he stopped saying "heroin"?

Friday: (annoyed, but soft) I'd be so, so mad if this didn't also prove that Junior is the smartest baby ever to have been born.

[frogenthusiastt]

yes yes yes!! also re: vash reacting to threats/pain with silence can also totally be a trauma reacion. stay silent, play dead and shut down and maybe the pain will lessen. since a lot of his physical trauma stems from him getting in the way/getting his identity found out through his own words i'd imagine he'd have some kind of subconscious link between his physical being/others noticing him and pain, and so shutting the hell up about it can be a method of survival. same could be said about ww, but for more military institution-ish trauma, not showing weakness to make it through the pecking order of eom

i've been wondering- what do you think of vash and ww's relationship to pain? do u have any thoughts on it??

cuz i was just thinking like. obviously they're both extremely resilient and don't care much if they get hurt in the process of achieving whatever, but like... as for the pain specifically, i have to wonder.

cuz i'm reading trimax for the first time and toward the end of the sand steamer mess kite basically asks if vash even feels pain. and i mean... he has to, since not that long ago he just hit the floor with a dramatic blood splatter lmao. but like.

is he just suppressing visible reactions? or does he just not feel pain unless it's above a certain level?

and i wanna know about ww too if you have thoughts, i just haven't gotten that far in trimax :')

forgive me if my wording is all over the place, i havent been very elegant in my words Lately, but i am always down to talk about specific shit involving vash and wolfwood,

if we're just talking physical pain, yeah, i think they feel pain normally!

For Vash, he is the master of repression throughout Trimax, so I think naturally, he keeps a strong face no matter the level of hurt, whether on the outside or inner. It's just in his nature to not allow others to worry about him by pulling through with a fake smile or in some cases, he feels like he deserves the pain inflicted on him so even if he's getting pulverized to shit or threatened against his life, he'd default to a silence as opposed to screaming in agony that might make people think he isn't feeling anything. It's probably also second nature for him to no longer yelp or cry at pain after the amount of years he's spent getting hurt, but i think this only applies if he isn't emotionally involved in a fight (which is rare, but it happens in ch. 38).

In terms of physical pain, he seems to feel it like how regular humans do. I've thrown together some examples where he goes owchie owchie owchie that aren't too spoilery:

The Emilio scene is kind of why I don't think he's just playing up the theatrics of feeling pain, though I do think he would on some occasion, especially since he roleplays with children all the time. Verbally saying "ow ow ow" could potentially be an instinctive reaction too or maybe a source of comfort. But yeah!! I think Vash has always been able to feel pain and it's not like being a plant has lessen his ability to do so. Any resilience built is tacked on due to him being alive for 100 years and being a guy with a clear painted bullseye on his entire figure that ends up getting him shot and scarred.

In the end, the pain that gets to Vash the most will always be on an emotional level rather than physical, but Vash is such a genuine person and so present when it comes to other people that even if it's a pain he can take, it'll still hurt him terribly in more ways than one.

For Wolfwood; I think in general, those under the Eye of Michael have a strong resilience to dealing with pain due to the regen potions and the amount of training forced on them. I don't think we ever get the full description of what exactly those in EoM endured throughout their younger years, but we saw WW get shot at an early age in chapter 12 and we can assume it happened more than once. Over and over again until he won't even flinch against it just like how killing without hesitation was attempted to be drilled into him. I don't really know how it works scientifically… but I fully believe that he's mostly numbed to the physical sensation of it and it's the psychological part that gets to him more. Wolfwood himself is a naturally skilled fighter too, not that that really has anything to do with his dealing with pain, but I think his focus and attention on a battle and his stubbornness to win kicks an adrenaline that allows him to ignore the pain.

Though, his body also gets sore and tired just like any regular human does and there's this instance where he goes owie too:

(While NOT as much as Tristamp WW does where he's cracking a cold one every goddamn minute, I do think Trimax WW has gotten used to taking regen pots and thus, can afford to be careless and not give a damn.)

So, physically, technically in canon, they don't really have anything that specially makes either of them unable to feel pain, but just as you said, they're incredibly resilient. And ultimately, the both of them are affected emotionally/psychologically that hurts them more than the physical aspect of it, considering how physical pain is almost a daily chore for them to deal with (Vash being hunted for sport for majority of his life + Wolfwood being involved in experiments/killings for majority of his life.)

I think Trigun in general, while showing physical pain being a strong factor of hurt for regular people like us constantly seeing civiilians get beat up or shot, it tends to boil down to the multiple varieties of pain when it comes to those who deal with physical pain often (Gung Hos, Vash, EoM members).

I didn't know where to put these comments but here are extra thoughts:

They're both evidently really good at hiding their pains or any mark of vulnerability. They both could have a hole in their chest and go days without anyone else noticing so long it isn't killing them.

They're both pretty reckless during battle, but I think for Vash, he already tries to avoid violence at all cost and thus, do in a roundabout way lessen his own chance of getting hit in hoping to not stir that violence against another. As a result, I think Wolfwood can be way more reckless and ends up getting hurt more unnecessarily as a result of it.

They both are capable of healing at quick rates so I'm sure that allows the pain to feel more temporary, less of a risk to sustain, and to further hone in not caring too much about getting shot. That only applies for themselves individually though because every time they see each other get hurt, they're always so so worried despite knowing the other will be fine.

i'm pretty sure i repeated myself like 800 times, but i hope this Answered the question SFGMSDKGSMDKH i also tried to be vague enough in my wordings and focus only on the beginning-ish of trimax so to not spoil! i hope u enjoy ur reading of it!!

[maruramu]

Soulmates: Jin's Middle School Years

Soulmates(demo name) is a story I've been working on. Here is a small part, a section of the story of Jin Eom, one of the MCs. She's south korean.

~

I knew that they were staring. They were staring, pointing and laughing and thought that I didn't notice. I wish I didn't notice. But I did, I always did. However what I didn't notice was one of the boys throwing a paper ball towards my head. It hit the back of my head and fell into my open backpack. I didn't react for a while because that was what they wanted. They probably got tired of waiting because I heard one of the boys standing up. He walked right behind me and grabbed my uniform's collar so it strangled me. His breath smelled really bad when he whispered into my ear angrily. "Read it, you freak" The boy let go and I gasped for air, which made him snicker. My neck was slim and easy to strangle. I turned around slowly and picked the paper ball into my hand. I opened it and read the words that would've shocked and made anyone else cry. But I read them without a hint of emotion on my face. 'There is a paper knife in your locker. How about you go to the bathroom with it and do us all a favor?'

The words were written with red marker. As if the message wasn't clear enough. I sighed heavily and smushed the paper back into a ball, leaving it to my desk. I stood up and the boy beside me took a step back, grinning like some bloodthirsty maniac. Standing beside him I could really see the height difference and so did he. His grin died fast. I was 177 cm tall already as a 14-year-old and hated because of it for some reason. Even now I could see a glint of annoyance in the boy's eyes. I spared him a quick glance before I walked out of the class and headed to my locker. I wonder how they knew my combination? I opened my locker and there really was a paper knife with a bright red handle, blade out and ready for action. How appropriate. Blood wouldn't even be seen on the handle if the blade was put in. I picked the knife up and wandered back towards the classroom. Outside the door I saw the teacher who was on his way to start a math class. I was the same height as him. "Eom, what are you doing? The class is about to start" I shrugged and pulled the paper knife from my pocket. I gave it to the teacher and he took it with a confused look on his eyes. "I found this on the hallway. It looks like one of those new knifes the art teacher just ordered. Could you please take it to her after the class? I must return home right after. I have to go to my grandmother's funeral"

The teacher nodded and opened the door, letting me go in first. My eyes clashed with the boy who had strangled me and he smirked at me evilly. I ignored him and sat back in my seat. The teacher took his place behind the desk and put the red knife on it with a clack. I could almost feel my bullies' smiles die and I knew I was going to get it after class. That's why I didn't have time to go and take the knife to the art teacher myself. I'd thought ahead. During the class my thoughts were as far away from math as possible. I just thought about my room and my desk full of drawings, art supplies and papers. I wanted to draw my sorrow. But it could wait. First I had to deal with this cruel reality.

Reality that would be waiting for me after class and had hard fists.

The Real Reason Presidency Welcomes EU Report On Nigeria 2019 Election

The Presidency has reacted to the EU Report On Nigeria 2019 Election, promising to analyse it fully & act on the recommendations.

This was contained in statement released by the Presidency and made available to the Media on Saturday.

The Statement gave details of the EU report and why the Presidency believed the report was a true reflection of the state of the 2019 presidential election, noting that the report has proved that the election of President Muhammadu Buhari represented the will of Nigerians.

The Presidency noted:

“This is further proof that the polls reflected the overall will of Nigerians, and that the world is solidly behind the election of President Muhammadu Buhari for a second term. “

The Statement further said that by inviting the EU observers to the country to monitor the elections in the first instance, it showed that the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari meant well for the country and demonstrated the commitment of the administration to pure democratic process.

The statement read:

“This was a clear indication of the administration’s good intentions, commitment to a pure democratic process, and desire to improve for the next elections. The EU noted in their report that there were marked improvements from previous elections, although stating that more work needed to be done. “

The Presidency said that it would work with relevant stakeholders to ensure that the recommendations in the reports are implemented and areas of concerns noted by the EU were addressed.

Despite the hitches of the elections and well noted challenges and violence that characterised the elections in certain parts of Nigeria, the Presidency believed that INEC conducted a good election and that the areas of concerns notwithstanding, the overall outcome of the election was not affected.

The Statement continued:

“The Presidency assures that the Commission is in safe hands and happy that they are currently engaged in root and branch reviews of the 2019 general elections and will input lessons learned into its recommendations for electoral and constitutional reforms.

“We believe that INEC conducted a good election and will continue to improve on its processes and procedures.

“While it is regretted that the elections in a few parts of the country witnessed some violence, among other shortcomings highlighted by the EU, we note however that none of these hitches affected the overall outcome of the elections.

“Thankfully, EU did not question the results of the presidential election. For instance, on page 3 in its Executive Summary, the EU said: ‘positively, the elections were competitive, parties were overall able to campaign and civil society enhanced accountability.’ “

The Presidency also gave additional reasons why the EU report on Nigeria Election was acceptable and welcome:

“The report also acknowledged that INEC made a number of improvements, including making electoral participation more accessible through simplified voting procedures.

“On page 4, the EU noted that the elections were competitive with a large number of candidates for all seats although competition was primarily between the All Progressives Congress and the Peoples Democratic Party.

“According to the report “parties and candidates were overall able to campaign, with freedoms of assembly, expression and movement broadly respected.”

“On Page 5, the report noted that the EU EOM media monitoring over 46 days showed federal government-owned Radio’s commitment to balanced election coverage.

“It said that positively in almost all observations party agents received copies of the results forms, adding that the National Collation Centre for the presidential election was open to party agents and observers, and was continuously televised.

“Again on page 37, the report said the national collation Centre for the presidential results was open to party agents, observers and the media with each state’s results projected on a large screen.”

The Presidency also quoted copiously from the reports to show that it was in alignment with the findings”

“There was continuous live television coverage and the media published the results as announced by INEC, thereby increasing access to results information.” — EU Report

Page 41 (Results & Stakeholder Reaction): “ YIAGA announced that the results were consistent with its parallel vote tabulation that INDEPENDENTLY projected the results based on a sample of 1,515 polling units. The two leading parties won 96.8% of the valid votes between them.”

In all, the Presidency believes the the report does not discredit the 2019 presidential election as won by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) under President Muhammadu Buhari.

Let me bring specific trimax stuff into this real quick

We've seen him react to Livio passing out from exhuastion in that flashback, the dude was honestly not thrilled. He'd obviously react a lot more strongly to him literally trying to kill them both on purpose, and if that isn't enough to make him distrust him, I have no doubt that Chapel would use it as an opportunity to further isolate them.

We already know he manipulated both of them into thinking they have no one else who accepts/needs them, so what's one more person he can separate them from? Would he not take advantage of the perfect opportunity to drive another wedge between them? If razlo can't trust livio - he tried to murder them both - who can he trust, but their abusers the EOM? It's going to make the eventual reveal that chapel is willing to kill him even worse.

I've been thinking of tristamp ep7 way too much and we all agree that razlo is going to lose his shit about that suicide attempt right. That moment going to change something about the relationship between him and livio in this series I think
