Chapter 1: Those f*ck*ss keys
Part of the serie: The neighbor
A/n : Tell me what you think 'cause I'm not sure if I'll continue the story...?
Warnings: swear words, injury
Prev - Masterlist - Next
Synopsis : y/n forgot her keys inside her friend's house, who has left on vacation, and decides to break inside. Unfortunately she realizes she has broken in the wrong house. What will she do now?
Y/n was running down the street, her steps echoing loudly in the small street. She couldn't see much, but she managed to find what she thought was haerin's house. Y/n was delighted to see that the window to the bedroom was open and lights were on. She did find it a bit weird that lights were still on with no one inside the house, (Haerin had just left on a weekend to see her grandparents in the country side) but she was too tired to connect the dots and realize she had the wrong house. She spotted a tree right next to the window, and decided to start climbing up. Thankfully, she safely set foot inside the bedroom.
Looking around, she finally realized the bedroom wasn't haerin's! The walls were a light green, and the room was neat and tidy, unlike haerin's room, which was always full of plushies and cat posters. Understanding her mistake she slowly started to head back to the window she came in with, hoping no one would see her. As she climbed on top of the window, she tripped on the radiator, ending up half-inside hal-outside the bedroom window, barely hanging on by gripping the window frame. Y/n started wiggling her body, trying to get back up ON the window not UNDERNEATH it... But nothing worked. She was stuck and she looked like an idiot. Muttering curses under her breath, she didn't hear the sound of someone opening the door to the stranger's bedroom.
Y/n felt hands grab her arms, and she let out small yelp, falling back into the arms of the unknown person. Instinctively, she pushed the person back, she freezed finally getting to see who's house she had broken into. A beautiful raven haired girl looked at her with wide eyes, her hand holding y/n's wrist tightly. She was taller than y/n and she wore baggy stay-at-home clothes: her black hair up in a bun, gray sweatpants and a dark blue sweater with a school's logo inscripted on it, although it was too washed off to make it anything close to readable... Y/n snapped out of her thoughts as the girl exclaimed "Are you alright?!" Y/n was still quite shook from her near-falling experience and didn't respond. "Wait- who are you? And what the hell are you doing in my house??" Y/n wasn't much of a thinker, and just decided (obviously not thinking straight) to climb off the window as quickly as possible, and run to haerin's actual house, leaving the poor girl in shock.
What y/n hadn't told hyein was that unfortunately, climbing haerin's actual window was much harder than Minji's, and she succeded, but with a broken window, a sprained ankle and a bruised ego (or what was left of it anyway). She was now unfortunately stuck at haerin's house until someone would come and pick her up...

Hello! Love your blog and your takes, objective and sane and well researched chefs kiss! I had a blast scrolling through it like it was my feed yesterday lol can you elaborate on klaus and Paul if possible? People mostly talk about them like it’s already understood but I don’t understand 😭 I’m kinda lost on their (all of them, including stu) dynamic during the hamburg years specifically when it comes to Paul
Aww thank you anon! Tbh I was starting to feel a bit down about my blog and what I was putting out ( the eternal crisis on how to give full answers and opinions without being stupid, boring and annoying lol). So I really, really needed this. :)
Oh Paul vs/and the Exsis, it's quite a long one so buckle up.
Disclaimer: all of the people involved are essentially art kids/young adults who are famously the most exhausting people on the planet. Do not blame them for being dramatic, it's their natural state of being.
If we want to go into Paul and Klaus, we have to kind of start with the John, Paul and Stu. Now these three are a mess that's too big to go into here (though I have THOUGHTS about how Stu is utilised in the Beatles narrative that I'm more than happy to share if asked lmaooo). But in short(ish):
John and Paul had had an intense year and a bit of closeness. Then John meets Stu at art college.
John and Stu become c l o s e for many reasons (being peers, living together, similar artistic leanings + ego, Stu being a gentle guide to John, sharing art projects/poetry/long letters and feelings etc.) They became 'closer than two men' a friend had seen (remind us of anyone gang?). Most importantly, John could be open about his feelings with Stu in letters. If John had BPD which I subscribe too, I think Stu was his 'favourite person' and as Aunt Mimi said his 'special' and 'closest friend' from this period up until his death (though imho the transference back to Paul was starting prior to his death).
It's not clear what exactly happens as there's differing accounts but Stu uses his money to buy a new bass as John wants him to come to Scotland then Hamburg and play bass as he will 'look good'.
Paul doesen't like being relegated to the seat behind John and Stu when he used to sit next to John. He also isn't thrilled when he gets to Hamburg and not only does he get to sleep in the other room with just Pete but Stu cannot be arsed to play because he's hanging out with his hot new girlfriend Astrid (more on her in a sec). Our boy has spent a lot of money he doesen't have and given up on further education to be here and is jealous and annoyed.
Paul and Stu probably were friends and I think their mutual antipathy is overegged. HOWEVER, can't be denied that Paul is jealous of Stu and Stu is jealous of Paul (and getting flare-ups from increasing brain damage). John and Stu tease Paul and steal his money, Paul is mean to Stu (as are the others encouraged by John). Do I think John was playing games with both of them? Yup. They end up scuffling onstage because Paul said something about Astrid (not clear what, one account is that Paul said that Stu could borrow money off Astrid if he needed it which isn't really that bad a dig but who knows Yoko??).
Why is this dynamic important? Because it directly impacts the 'Exsis' (Klaus, Jurgen and Astrid's) group's relationship with Paul:
The Exsis were young artists living in Hamburg. They were artistic, cool, interesting and edgy. They were paramount in introducing the Beatles to cool new concepts, aesthetics and ideas. They also took themselves VERY seriously ie pretentious as all hell.
Astrid met Stu at Kaiserkeller and hit it off. They embarked on an all-consuming romance.
Letter from Stu to Astrid, c.1961
I've seen people say they were the proto-John and Yoko in terms of making their romance the whole world and influencing John years down the line and I can see that. With Astrid and Stu it's far more endearing though because they ARE young and the right age to have a relationship like that. Stu is popular with the Exsis in general and brings them into the Beatles group.
The Exsis didn't like or trust Paul. Astrid said later it was because Paul was 'too nice' which she herself admits is a ridiculous reason. The others also thought he was a bit of a show-off. It makes sense though if you're cool and edgy and want to stick it to the world to be sus about a guy being friendly show-off with seemingly no inner world. The other problem was a perfectly reasonable one imo, you're not going to like your friends frenemy who you don't connect with. Compound that with Paul not taking drugs as much as George or John and being in the other room and you begin to have a division.
Paul had been popular his whole life, like from what we know since-primary-school-popular. He had never been in this position before, let alone in a foreign country. I believe it became a bit of a brutal feedback loop. Paul's response to this type of behaviour consistently it to go more surface level, snide and passive aggressive. The natural response of any group with a designated 'ugh' person is to become more shady and exclusionary. The cycle continues and gets worse. Stu letters back home at this time says that in a shocking turn of events Paul is hated by everyone but Stu 'just feels sorry for him' (lmao OF COURSE you do Stu, its giving 'loathing' from Wicked lol). Klaus drew a lot of artwork of the early Hamburg Beatles that includes this highly unpleasant picture of Paul in 1961 which I think says a lot:
Klaus is also a musician and fancies himself a place on bass. When Stu leaves to pursue art, Klaus asks John if he could take over but John says that he thinks Paul is going to do it.
Klaus has later gone on to say that he thinks he was a better bass player for the Beatles' sound at the start and then Paul developed into being better for the group. It's one of those I cannot believe those words actually left your mouth and you are not deeply embarrased moments. But it's important to keep this desire and viewpoint in mind.
Klaus stays in touch with all of them and close to John and George, George especially. They visit Klaus on holiday in tenerife in early 60s and Klaus later draws the Revolver artwork.
This whole context of how they met and Hamburg is crucial and has to be taken into account when hearing Klaus' statements. Klaus and Paul started off with a lack of connection and with Paul on the outs, the Exsis got an incomplete view of Paul and an inaccurate snapshot of the Beatles dynamic overall. This is why when Klaus says 'Paul was always slightly apart from the others' and that 'divorce was inevitable' from early 60s we should remember that that is what Klaus is expecting to see as that's what he saw in Hamburg.
Klaus wanted to be the bass player (and was holding out hope to join a band with George and John in the 70s), was really close with George and suffers as many did with 'John Lennon aspiring boy bestie syndrome' (JABBS). Paul had what Klaus wanted and from the Hamburg experience, you could see why Klaus thought he might have an in and may have been jealous of this 'shallow' Paul of all people having the connection that he felt he should/could have with John and George. As with most sufferers of JABBS, he took John's side with everything, always refused to say any regrets about his involvement in How do you Sleep and thought Paul was fine with the song because 'he was even closer to John than [he] was. (Again Klaus to put yourself in that level of closeness with John that it's comparable to Paul is ???.) JABBS and its secondary condition PMIETGSH (Paul McCartney isn't even that good shut up) are virulent diseases that incapacitate sufferers objectivity and judgement, so it's fair to say that Klaus is a source you have to take with a pinch of salt on the early 70s period.
It seems that Klaus and Paul did get on a lot better the older they got (probably without the jealousy complication of George and John) and developed a sweet friendship. Here is Klaus' tribute to Paul for his 80th:
Here is the jam session he's talking about:
youtube
He now wants Paul to live in his house lmao so things have gotten warmer. But Klaus and Paul's dynamic is a great example of how and why natural bias, little jealousies and spats can consciously or subconsciously influence our internal narrative and why we need to be so careful about not taking one perspective as gospel.
#I have to say my stock in John and Stu tanked when I transcribed that text from their shared sketchbook and it was an anti-Semitic story#My overall take on Hamburg was that they were all annoying lol#thank you again anon :)#though one thing that this post has reminded me of is that as much as I do try my best#no one can ever be fully objective#so always take that into consideration when looking at my posts as well lol#klaus voormann#the beatles#hamburg days#Stu Sutcliffe#submarine postbox#anon#ask#ask me anything#Paul#George#John#never forget JABBS is a chronic infectious disease and a key factor in the Beatles historiography

Everybody has voting power! I have my own preference, but I'm really curious what would you chose! Let me know in the poll and don't forget to share so we reach 40 bundles sales! We are not that far!! If anything is unclear just let me know <3 Also, I imagine the button pin would do great on a grocery bag, I think it would associate for me with the calendar bundle, and therefore remind me to take the grocery list (written on the Klance seasonal to-do lists XD) mmezzy.bigcartel.com
#klance#laith#talking about reminders and all#i always thought of myself as an organised person - not very aethetic kind or organization but i always thought of myself as diligent#but apparently my methods to remember are unusual like leaving a bag in the middle of the room#like forming one habit and then attaching things to that habit (ex closing doors so things i need with me land next to the keys so i see it#i leave hints for my brain that will make it go 'huh weird'#literally if id be scared to forget something id change my phone wallpaper or leave a open book on the counter#but it does not happen THAT often i am constantly reality checking anyway#i just like to be prepared

I’d like to thank Maximus Decimus Meridius for inventing loyalty and emotional intelligence and devotion and goodheartedness. and also sex
#he didn’t just invent it he patented and perfected it#everyone who’s been sexy after him has been copyrighting#everyone post 180 ad who has been sexy has simply been enjoying maximus’ legacy#but in all seriousness he is so. so good#he’s just GOOD and it makes me want to die#i wish i was a humble knot in the necklace he wears#i wish i were a single solitary snowflake that brushes his sweet face in germania#i wish i were the candle glow on his face at night or the warm breeze that reminds him of home#jk i wish i was getting railed by him so good i forget my own name#he has inspired me to such levels of both yearning AND thirsting#i’m forever thinking of how perfectly suited he is for leadership because he’s innately kind and humble and values others’ lives#i am also forever thinking of how he can use his general voice on me to tell me to get in whatever position he wants because HHNNNHHHHH#the things this man inspires in me#he’s like the inciting tornado in my kansas heart#carry me away to the next world and don’t bring me back you perfect man#the day i stop referring to maximus as my beloved husband will be the day you can all assume i’ve been replaced with a government clone#i’m legally married to him#ring license and all#i go home to him every night and fix dinner for him and give him a shoulder rub etc etc#the ONLY man i’d be a tradwife for#because!! i would never feel devalued or dehumanized in that role!!#that’s the key honestly#i’d do anything for him and do all the traditional 180s ad housewife stuff because i know he would never see me as a mere object or ornament#he would always have respect and gratitude and absolute love#the same way i would#MAXIMUS#I AM WAITING#gladiator#text posts#maximus decimus meridius

some of you should not speak on dennis until you've rewatched sunny in full instead of just the macden-centric eps.
#literally not even a matter of like. different interpretations it's just some of y'all forget literal canon events that disprove shit#i get schooled by people abt den too i have my weaknesses w writing him#but like oh my god#some of y'all would be better off if you looked at him outside of a macden context#he's not evil incarnate#he's fucked up and he does awful shit#but that is a little boy wearing an adult face#to just make him evil for no reason completely removes any interesting bits of him.#one of the keys to sunny's writing is that#rcg always makes sure that motivation is understandable *in that character's eyes*#dennis has a very specific purpose for everything he does#he isn't just cruel for no fucking reason#he's 'brutally honest' because he thinks its his duty to break the news#he's absolutely entitled and arrogant and misogynistic#but he doesn't set out to be Mean just for the sake of it#den thinks he is doing good. he thinks he's in the right. its not him it's everyone else.#he's doing you a favour by saying you're ugly (and propping up his own decimated self esteem)#that being said he's also not innocent pookie either#but i would say its like. in a lot of ways he IS oblivious to the reality of what hes saying/doing#part of that is his privilege as a white man who grew up being supported by and continues to be supported by his parent's wealth#but the gang enables the shit he does just as frank financially enables him#they are so insular it's like impossible to break out of the gang and interact with normal people#because if they don't get it then dennis is going straight back to the gang to feel validated and to hell w everyone else#on some level he knows shit is unacceptable but he's never learned Why and never will because theres no reason to#like when mac is completely fucking shocked by den talking abt the implication dennis CANNOT let that go unchecked#he needs mac to understand him because he's realizing that it's *actually* fucked up. bc even mac thinks so.#and when dee calls what happened with klinsky Rape everything IMMEDIATELY crumbles for him#dennis is introspective but he will justify shit and compartmentalize until his friends challenge it#he looks to media; tv and movies where the protagonist gets away with shit because its schlock fiction#and dennis DOES see himself as a protagonist. it's all justifiable bc he's the good guy.

@deadrlngers tagged me to take this "patron saint of..." quiz for my ocs. i chose my three most doomed children and i'm now unwell 💕
tagging: @aztarion @aezyrraeshh @brightaxe @ortanthaig @gallusneve and you!
hanusa fern - baldur's gate 3
patron saint of relics patron saint of remembering. patron saint of holding something close. patron saint of holding on for too long. for a saint, a relic is often a part of the body, kept for some physical memento of their holiness. they are all in your hands, now: does it feel like remembrance? does it feel sanctified? are the dust and blood as precious as they're supposed to be?
paige langford - the wayhaven chronicles
patron saint of horror you're the patron saint of the dawning moment of realization. the patron saint of comprehension, maybe. the patron saint of understanding. the patron saint of knowing exactly what's going to happen. of seeing clearly. of not being able to look away.
alex rothman - vampire the masquerade bloodlines
patron saint of martyrs the patron saint of those who died to be like you. maybe you died to be like them too: but at the end of it, you weren't like them. patron saint of tragedy. saint of saints. it's you who holds the hands of the holy dead, and you who has to answer: what do they do if they regretted it?
#cytherea.txt#ok ok it's tag rant time buckle in folks#HANUSA RELICS AND REMEMBRANCE#genuinely gasped aloud when i saw that i think the uquiz has the key to the backdoor of my brain#like yeah ok we've got the irony of her being brain damaged and having amnesia but it fits her so well in every way#holding onto someone so tight that they break and you have to bury them and you keep pieces to remember because you can't forget them#not again#PAIGE HORROR HELLO HELLO#my girl of Freeze#freeze and watch and understand what is going to happen to you and being unable to stop it because it was always going to happen to you#you were always going to have this happen it was in your blood from the beginning the monsters were after you the whole time#ROTH MY BABY BOY MY ONLY SON SAINT OF MARTYRS#guy who died and came back wrong and kept on living even when everyone he knows keep dying#he can bring them to death but he can't bring them back#anyway this was very good 10/10

well.
I'm 30.
#one minute ago#damn I really REALLY thought I'd have my life more together#I mean to be real I 10000% did not expect to live until 30 good grief#but in my day dreams of 'what I might have been like if I lived to be an adult' this was not it#not still living like an emancipated minor in a 1 1/2 that's not even official it's more of a charity by the people who own the garage#that it's built in#not remembering to eat every day and eating the same 'gotta eat something' random assortment of whatever is in the cabinets#that I've been eating since I was 4#still working 4 jobs and not having my phd yet#literally never gone on one date and still feel too young for a relationship because I don't ever EVER want to be that guy#who doesn't know how to do anything and expects their partner to take care of them#I can barely do laundry and I straight up refuse to do dishes#I buy paper plates and cups#I'm not going to impose that on anyone#I keep thinking when I grow up I can have a relationship but I'm not old enough yet#but buddy I'm a freaking grown up now#30 is no joke#it's official#I just suck.#it's not about age its about being a garbage person#like i would never ever EXPECT my partner to take care of me but in practical terms I would fail at keeping the house clean#and they would pick up the slack becuase they don't want to live in a trash hole and would get mad and/or bitter with me for making them#living alone my bad choices only effect me#when i've lived with roommates in the past this has always been a key point of breakdown#even when I've tried to be extra dilligent I would forget a glass somewhere becuase I planned to reuse it and my roomate would wash it#and be mad that I felt entitled and expected them to clean up after me when I absolutly did NOT in fact I was horrified#that they needed to clean something up after me- I just simply lost track of it. and that was 10000% unfun for everyone involved#I was ashamed 100% of the time and they felt used 100% of the time and no one had a good time

This may be a reach buuuut are any of my followers left handed and have played Psychonauts 2? My sister was trying to play left-handed Psychonauts 1 on my laptop and the keybindings were all so shitty even after remapping them...if so would you recommend getting a controller instead? Like if you're a lefty was it easier for you to use custom keybindings or a controller?
#i always feel bad i forget its a right handers world u_u#i wuz trying to help her w the controls but all the key bindings were changed and it was awkward#i think part of it may have been that it was on my laptop so my arrow keys were small. and she'd be playing pn2 on a big nice computer#with a big nice keyboard#if that helps#psychonauts#.txt

Me seeing these bad bitches as a kid
“You can do that? You can dress like that AND be cool? Woagh”
Me now: wait. is this why I’m goth?
#emma posts#avalon web of magic#danny phantom#to be fair more things than that influenced me#and half of it was seeing other stuff about them and being like ‘she’s just like me fr’#but i don’t doubt that this had a heavy influence on my current wardrobe#in that sense of ‘they inspired me to explore this’#when you are really little all the hero characters fight people dressed cool so you feel like it’s bad#and then THESE TWO came up#I feel like I’m forgetting someone…#OH MY FUCKING GOD! HOW COULD I FORGET RAVEN?!#I added her#i have a sticker with raven on my LITTERAL FUCKING LAPTOP#and I just forgor? groans#I always loved purple and my music taste went into that direction over time but I definitely think these girls had an impact#to be fair evanescence did also alter my brain chemistry at a key point in development#raven teen titans#thinks these are some of the coolest characters as a kid. listens to evanescence during my early teens. went full goth#a few years out of highschool ‘no dress code to bind me except the law’s rules on public indecency’#slowly transforms into my new adult self ‘mother. I am goth’#also. I misremembered Sam’s skirt as having purple print for so long#I was like ‘purple and black skirt is so cool’#I actually bought a few vaguely like it#and then you tell me it is GREEN???

In praise of Dead Man's Chest,
a rather forgettable follow-up of Curse of the Black Pearl, i wanted to quickly list the moments where the vibes are truly off the charts:
when Bill Turner comes to tell Jack his time is up and gives him the black spot
visiting Tia Dalma. Her telling of the origin story of Davy Jones' heart, the fact that she has the same music box on her table in a brief shot, Barbossa's boots (still dead? resting?) on a bed in a different room as monkey Jack investigates. (Hell, when her cabin comes into view we hear the same tune we heard when Barbossa died!!) "Him heart." "A touch... of destiny" ma'am i fucking love you
Will being sent to search the Flying Dutchman but he's only sent to a wreckage that has fallen victim to the kraken. One crew member still desperately trying to hoist a sail, Will barely able to snap him out of it. Bodies everywhere. Lashing rain. A body dropped from great height, its face torn off by the kraken's suckers, just a membrane of skin that is still pulsing as the man desperately tries to breathe beneath it. I feel like this is Will's "you'd best start believing in ghost stories, Turner. You're in one!" moment
And then the Dutchman rises from the depths and its crew literally comes out of the woodwork!! Will dousing his sword in oil and smashing a lamp to fight with a flaming blade and see what he's up against!!
"Do you fear death? Do you fear that dark abyss?" (still thrilled i put this line on a pair of booty shorts in my black sails crack fic but thats an unrelated sidenote, this line just FUCKS) "All your deeds laid bare. All your sins punished. I can offer you an escape." BILL NIGHY DOES NOT PLAY ENOUGH VILLAINS
"Life is cruel. Why should the afterlife be any different?"
Jack looking at the scene unfolding through his looking glass. Jones looking right back at him. Jack putting the glass down and Jones being RIGHT THERE. VIBES OFF THE CHARTS
"You can't talk your way out of this one, Jack" yet HERE HE IS BARGAINING THE WORTH OF HIS SOUL. And he tells Will, who is taken as down payment, is in love, betrothed even. And the impact that has on Jones. Not to mention how the key theme of Davy Jones, a man whose story is centered around love and heartbreak, starts playing for the first time. Fuck
Recruiting new men (sorry, cannon fodder to give to Jones) and Gibbs asking a potential crew member (Norringtonnn) what his story is. "My story... It's exactly your story, just one chapter behind." FUCK THATS SUCH A GOOD SUMMARY OF NORRINGTON'S CURRENT STATE
THE ORGAN VERSION OF DAVY JONES' THEME. The way the giant coral tubes coming out of it remind me of the arteries and veins of a heart. The way Jones still cries while playing it - cutting out his heart clearly didn't have the full intended effect, despite his cruelty that followed. (Here's the coolest fucking IRL version of that theme btw. You'll realise exactly where the phrase "pulling out all the stops" comes from)
Wyvern, a man so long for his debt on the Dutchman he's becoming one with the wood. That fucks
LIAR'S DICE. There's an extended version of the scene and here is an analysis of why the long version fucks actually and how it's a masterclass on writing plot and character development subtly
"Let no joyful voice be heard! Let no man look up at the sky with hope! And let this day be cursed by we who ready to wake... the Kraken."
And then when you see the true scale of it. The way it snaps a ship in half and pulls it beneath the wave. That kinda fucks
"The boy's not here. He must have been claimed by the sea. "I am the sea." Mr Jones i think that's a point of contention the root of which caused your relationship problems and everything that followed
Leaning into the chest and hearing an actual heartbeat
Jack abandoning the Pearl during the Kraken attack, then checking his compass and for the first time it works, telling him what he wants most. We don't see what it points to, but based off what he tells Elizabeth in the first film, my guess is the Pearl, which in his mind represents freedom
The absolutely HAUNTING memorial of Jack at Tia Dalma's cabin, underscored with the sound of Will's knife hitting the table over and over. The deep despair. Tia Dalma saying she knows how Will hoped to use the Pearl to chase down Davy Jones and save his father. The way she jumps on the slightest glint of them being willing to try and repair what has happened. She wants Will to go after Jones. Because after all, she's taken steps to help the crew for the inevitable moment Jack would lose and needed saving:
BARBOSSA'S BACK BABEYYYY AND LOOKING MORE ALIVE AND THRIVING THAN EVER
Special shoutout to the three-way fight in the chapel and on the waterwheel, it's silly and a little slapstick-y but it DOES have some cool choreography and really cool moments! Clearly an attempt to recreate the fight in the workshop from the first film, and while it doesn't succeed in the same way (not quite to the rhythm of the music like in the first film, little to no character development revealed like we saw in film 1), but the scenery is vibrant, the choreography is good, the ever-changing alliances fun and the scene IS memorable!!
#anne speaks#potc#i've already mentioned the less good stuff in my earlier post about this film#the slapstick bs. the cannibal bit (FUCK that whole sequence)#hell even the opening scene is completely unmemorable even tho it's at this big creepy haunting prison#there's crows visibly pecking people's eyes out!! jack escaping through a coffin!! it's all pretty gruesome!!#and i always forget it exists or what the fuck the purpose of that scene is#(it's where jack gains the drawing of the key that opens the chest of davy jones btw)#but yeah it takes a solid hour for this film to REALLY gain traction but once it does? some SOLID stuff there for a good while#long post

hot take but I think a lot of current fantasy has lost the "what the heck" nonsensical vibes and that's why a lot of it is so bad
#people are so obsessed with 'being like tolkien' that they forget that a key part of fantasy#is the magic and wonder and inexplicable occurences#some things we need to accept on faith and move on#like you don't NEED to understand the mechanics of portals to other worlds or magic#or have a logical realistic fantasy realm#it's fantasy!! it's by definition UNREALISTIC and WEIRD and INEXPLICABLE#tolkien himself said something along the lines of 'if you explain how it works#it's not magic anymore'#(somewhere in on fairy stories I think)#but the point is that I actually could not care less about whether your fictional languages and histories etc etc#are realistic or sensible#if I wanted to read about a different culture or language or place I'd pick up a regular fiction novel#fantasy means that there's magic and things beyond our ken#lots of things will not and should not make sense#(logically. they should make sense in terms of fantasy)#(paraphrasing from sir terry here but it's unrealistic and nonsensical#for the third brother to succeed or for the sword to be pulled from the stone or for kindness and bravery to always win the day)#(but in a fantasy that is what makes sense; the illogical)#someday I'll write up my discord rant on modern fantasy as a true essay but it is not this day lol

I still have NOT started my Kikaider rewatch because I swear I have adhd and can’t focus right now to do anything besides build dragon ig but I keep rotating back to like- how similar mitsuko and michirus families are and I’d love to do a comparison on them but I don’t know how I’d do it given not just “well mitsuko and her fam got to be more fleshed out in especially the anime cause they didn’t have to juggle three main characters” but also like they’re two families who aren’t necessarily a family trope themselves but rather are compromised of multiple tropes from that era:
Michiru/Mitsuko: The supporting girl who is friends with the main character, potentially their love interest
Saotome/Komyoji: The old man scientist who works for the good guys and sometimes may or may not either be the father of the MC or the supporting girl
Genki/Masaru: The little boy support character who tends be the little brother of the main character, but sometimes can be the little brother of the support girl
And then they both get slapped with a dead older brother and a mother who is MIA both of which don’t always happen in tandem with these tropes but I think it’s more of a coincidence both Michiru and Mitsukos families are so similar so they just line up these tropes that were super common back then. (Though since Kikaider came first Ishikawa could’ve POSSIBLY took inspiration especially because Nagai knew Ishinomori but I have no clue if they ever met)
#meg text#getter robo#android kikaider#I’m in my robot ramble mode again instead of actually reconsuming the media#because unless it’s a game I find a rewatch by myself as hard as starting something for the first time#but I also swear I try not to tie every media to getter but when you go down the specific pipelines you notice the patterns#I do wanna do something talking about either girls in mecha or like- the specific topic of the support child#cause I still feel even if Michiru hasn’t been utilized to the fullest Genki will always have it the worst#Like new Michiru personality different then usual but at least makes sense- but genki really got fused with another character#(yes I always fucking mention genki/kei but leave me alone i just rewatched arma)#on a serious note tho genki/kei is that thing that’s a fine plot twist but doesn’t benefit either characters#Since they forget about Kei anyways but she’s at least more fleshed out where as genki is just- yeah#the kid deserves better but it’s hard to work him into the plot with so many characters#probably why new didn’t bother to include him at all honestly even if too me it explains why Michiru more fed up with everyone#having a little bro really keeps her sanity together is what I take away
