#IM SO CONFUSED HE JUST DOESNT EXIST

[ratatatastic]

maffhew who refuses to say runebergin torttu because he knows hes gonna butcher it so bad he might be kicked out of the country the second he tries and staunchly avoids that by going "the one dessert that barky is going to have to explain 😃"

sasha who gets faced with the most generic description of everything hes ever eaten in his life so far because of maffhew and going "???... oh you mean runebergin torttu!"

"he did good he liked the food and he likes the finland so far so its good" sasha says with so much pride now that all the anxiety has left his system that his husband teammate is enjoying his country and doesnt hate it

Gamers PB is either gonna have to bump some of the 72 up to L rank or give us a shit ton of S and A+ ranks cuz my god there's a lot, also I think I figured out how they split them in terms on ranking but I have no clue how they did the countries LMAO

I'm still in the early stages of this deep-dive so for all I know everything I'm about to say is completely and utterly wrong so please do not take my ramblings as fact my friends! It is more than likely completely wrong cuz I'm stupid :D This is also strictly following the Ars Goetia cuz that's pretty much all I know!

ANYWAYS, some of them have multiple classifications (ex. Zagan being classed as both a king and a president, so they'll show up twice but the 1st appearance is italics and underlined and 2nd appearance is bolded so you can see yes yes) so there's that! Anyways this is what I've determined so far, starting with the known ranks:

King - L/S/A+ (?): Asmodeus (L), Bael (S), Belial (S), Paimon (S), Zagan (A+)

Duke - S/A+: Dantalian (S), Eligos (A+), Astaroth (A+), Bathin (A+), Gusion (A+), Barbatos (A+), Valefor (A+)

Prince - S/A+: Sitri (S), Stolas (A+)

Marquis - S/A+: Amon (S), Leraye (S), Naberius (S), Orias (S), Andrealphus (S), Ronove (A+), Phenix (A+)

President - S/A+: Marbas (S), Foras (S), Glasyalabolas (A+), Morax (A+), Buer (A+), Zagan (A+)

Count - A+: Morax (A+), Glasyalabolas (A+), Ronove (A+)

Putting more straight up WORD VOMIT under the cut! If you wanna stop here you can the rest is just even more nonsense!

So, you may be saying, "Ashdown U. Beloved, that's only 25 in the game/confirmed out of what number are we at? Where are Satan, Mammon, Bimet, Leviathan, Beelzebub, Lucifer, and Belphegor?" AND TO THAT I SAY: There is no mention of any of them in the Ars Goetia. Bimet doesn't even exist in anything I've seen so far. Now, it's possible this is just a super rare spelling of another demon (my suspicion is Beleth, another spelling of his name is Bilet so it might be possible that this is Bimet), but idk man someone help me on this one!

Something else I've noticed is damn near every Duke is an A+ rank despite the hierarchy of hell having them directly below Kings. Princes so far have a 50/50 shot of being either S or A+ (there's only two of them), while Marquis are overwhelmingly S rank. And now, for the rest of the 72 in the Ars Goetia! Once again got some double-dippers so I'll put them in italics and underlined first and bold second again and at the end of the listings, their rank will go with their lowest classification following what I'm calling the Zagan effect!

The rest of the classified Kings are: Beleth (Bimet?), Purson, Balam and Viné! Chances are they'll all be S rank, save for Viné.

The Dukes are: Agares, Aim, Alloces, Amdusias, Berith, Buné, Crocell, Flauros, Focalor, Gremory, Murmur, Sallos, Vapula, Vepar, Vual, and Zepar! I'd imagine they'd be following the Duke ranking of mostly A+ with a few S ranks! I would suggest that they decided by how many legions they command but Eligos commands 60 as opposed to Dantalian's 36 so there goes that idea lmao, gimme your thoughts on this one it's kinda whack.

The rest of the Princes!: Vassago, Orobas, Seere, Ipos and Gäap! Is it gonna keep being a 50/50 or are they gonna pull a sneaky on us? Who knows!

The Marquis! What's the plural of Marquis?: Samigina, Forneus, Marchosias, Sabnock, Shax, Andras, Kimaris, and Decarabia! Betting on mostly S ranks, maybe 2-4 A+ ranks from this batch!

And then we got the Presidents!: Haagenti, Caim, Ose, Amy, Valac, Botis, and Gäap! Not counting Morax and Glasyalabolas, we have 2 S ranks and 2 A+ ranks in the previous Presidents! Gäap will probably end up as an A+ alongside King-President Zagan!

Last but not least, the Counts: Furfur, Halphas, Räum, Bifrons, Murmur, Andromalius, Ipos, Botis, and Viné! So far, all of the Counts have been solely A+ rank! Will the surprise us, especially seeing and two of them are Prince-Counts and one is a King-Count? Maybe!

Now, we also have another conundrum! The fact that all of the canonical Kings except Asmodeus are NOT in the Ars Goetia yet are part of the 72 in-game (and maybe Bimet)! That's 6/7 spots in the 72 taken, so are 6/7 of the actual 72 gonna get booted? PrettyBusy please explain to me how you did this I'm genuinely so intrigued.

My ass /srs looking up demons trying to piece together who's under which country LMAO

I need to marinate more thoughts for this but. okay so gravity falls au. partially inspired by this. fiddleford has the memory gun and he's This Close to using it on himself to erase what he saw in the portal. he pauses. he thinks, just because I forget doesn't mean stanford will stop building the portal. he thinks it's all or nothing. he goes to stanford's shack in the woods. he sneaks in through the side door and sees stanford sleeping on the couch. it's dark outside. the lights are out. fiddleford can barely make out the shape of his former-friend's body. fiddleford looks at Stanford one last time. he types into the memory gun, Stanford Pines. he points the gun. half a second before he fires, Stanford stirs, as if sensing the danger he is in. he manages to get out "who-" before fiddleford, panicking, pulls the trigger before he can chicken out completely.

stanley wakes up on a couch he doesn't remember falling asleep in, with a terrified looking man standing over him, holding a glowing gun, and thinks this is one hell of a situation i've gotten myself into

Scum Villain fic where Shen Yuan wakes up out of a coma and realizes that he just had a very, very vibrant dream about his boy and that web novel he hatereads.

When he gets back home after observation it's so... surreal. He feels so much older now. He's practically lived a lifetime in that dream, even if only a few months have passed.

His room is so... cringe is the word he wants to use, but he can't help but find his past self endearing about it all. Except that line of thought makes... no sense at all. His past self is just him from a couple months ago.

He decides to check up on the story he'd been dreaming about and finds out that, though there were a dozen more chapters, they had stopped updating completely without warning just a few weeks after his own coma.

(The comments after his coma, a few mention him, calling him out or cheering for him finally giving up on the story. Some people even speculate he might have died.)

His old comments were so embarrassing to read, but there's a part of him that... sees his love for Luo Binghe even in these.

Wait, why is he suddenly okay being gay for this protag??

He thinks he probably shouldn't be quite so chill about it.

He wonders what happened to Airplane. He stops himself from thinking too hard on the possibility it could all have been real. That was ridiculous!!

Meanwhile in the world of the system....

Luo Binghe is flipping OUT. His husband his shizun his beloved just up and went POOF. No trace of him, no clue left behind.

(Or is it worse if he dies? The original goods died that night he qi deviated and was replaced by Shen Yuan, so there's no soul there to replace him. Luo Binghe has had to deal with dead Shizun before but this time it's... different.)

Either way, after a whole lot of everyone flipping out, Shang Qinghua seems to know a little too much about... something.

The truth comes out. Luo Binghe admits he's suspected something like that for a while now, but thats not important. He needs his shizun back, so how..?

Cue dimension hopping shenanigans.

in the entire trilogy I think the first movie is my favorite, but I'm ngl. If neither world tour or band together existed I probably wouldn't even be here

[dykedvonte]

you make really good points, I think I used the term karmic wrong sorry. I think of it more as not how I personally think he deserved all that happened to him (which thinking back os exactly what karma means, I messed up sorry), but as his fate being directly tied/parallel to anyas. I handnt noticed the toxicity of jimmy and curlys relationship, from the first playthrough I watched and the first interactions I had w fandom I saw so many ppl just. dismiss the terror Anya went through and focus too much on him as the "ultimate victim" and that just didn't sit well w me. I really dislike seeing ppl go "oh well nothing could've been done" I think it's much more complex than that. also I forgot to mention in the last ask that I really appreciate you bringing the point that this game isn't just about the harm of patriarchy but also very very critical to capitalism, I haven't seen too many ppl touch on this. I hadn't thought too deeply about how it makes "he deserved to become disabled as punishment" come up and I agree that's really messed up. I'll try watching a playthrough again with all of this in mind. but either way thanks! I really appreciate your answer 🫶🏼

I guess this is just part of being in a fandom like this. I've noticed a lot of people don't actually see posts outside of their curated view. So some people only get like anya posting or jimmy or curly and it can make it seem like that is what is saturating the conversation.

I mainly just follow the general tags and look for anything new because I'm like obsessed but I know some are only looking for what they want or believe to be the case and can get weird about other ideas.

Sorry if I came off mean its just a last few of the asks have been like circular conversations like this and its not draining per say but seeing all the nuance and details get overlooked to fit a straightforward and basic narrative really sucks cause there's a lot to explore character and theme wise.

[crazyspookies]

ill have to look at the thing again but it's frustrating that i finished the episode and didn't quite understand what happened.

[almostvermin]

okay now that im actually confronting it this makes a whole lotta sense that im going to continue to ignore

[starshineandhappythoughts]

This is literally the worst thing that's ever happened to me. Do you actually want me to die, Jeff? Do you???

[lesbianpegbar]

Very excited abt blue exorcist s3!!!-> person who never watched the anime…this will either be vindication or continued annoyance depending on how people treat yukios characters in the season tho(is the anime worth it to watch?)

okay so full disclaimer i haven't touched the anime since i was maybe like. fifteen or something? so my memories of it are a bit fuzzy however Comma, i remember it being pretty good except for when they went anime original in season 1! it adapts the manga faithfully until like s1 ep 15 or somewhere around there, and then the rest of season 1 sucks. bad. BUT for season 2 they just. act like the anime original shit never happened and start to adapt the manga again from where they left off, and from what i remember season 2 was really great i have very very fond memories of the anime impure king arc!! so if you don't want to sit through anime original stuff then you can just skip it it has literally no bearing on season 2 or anything going forward, its a very clean and easy skip. the animations alright (aside from some poor, dated cg lol) and i remember the voice acting being really great! it was very nice to see the characters move around and talk lmao, so with all that in mind yeah i'd recommend it if you're interested at all!

[jonny-b-meowborn]

I'm so sick and tired of feeling like a fucking intruder at my own home. I don't understand why my brother hates me do much. I know it's frustrating to have to share space, I wish we could live in separate rooms too, but it's just what we have to deal with. We're moving out in a few weeks, hopefully, and then we'll have our own rooms, but that doesn't change the fact that over the few last year's he's been increasingly hostile towards me. I feel like I don't belong at my own home I feel like I'm not allowed to exist in my own room. He can do anything he wants and I have to adapt. I can't even speak to him. No matter what I have to say he doesn't listen at best, at worst he tells me to shut up and there's nothing I can do about it. Our mom is helpless, too, she tries to get him to act normal towards me but he doesn't listen. I'm not allowed to interact with him I'm not allowed to have my pride flag in our room I'm not allowed to use my own desk I'm not allowed to make any sound or occupy any space. It's only a few weeks more of that but I'm just so fucking tired

I don't think I've ever been in a relationship this healthy before I don't know what to do 💀

ㅤㅤHUH ? Why was Dark suddenly so flustered ? It was an innocent question and yet he was getting awfully defensive over nothing ( it was almost like Dark was proving the librarian's point without even trying ).

ㅤㅤTaken aback, Theodore stumbled a couple of steps back from the closing proximity between them but he froze as soon as Dark stopped right in his tracks to jab an angry finger right at the librarian's chest as if to stand his ground. " I - I wasn't necessarily trying to make any other assumptions about you ! But actually ... you didn't exactly deny my claim either so doesn't that mean I'm somewhat on the mark ? " A nervous laugh. " I suppose indifference is better than resentment ... "

ngh --- ?!

' S-SHUT UP ! '

obviously , things were way more complicated than that ! ( no , in the first place , what did it even matter ?! ) ' that's got nothing to do with anything ! ' despite the growing red fluster on his cheeks , he marches forward to let his finger angrily poke and prod at the center of the other's chest . ' don't get the wrong idea , you weirdo --- i don't feel anything for you at all ! there's nothing either way , okay ?! ' like , dislike , love , hate , whatever ... ! ' you just ... exist ! and that's it !! '
