unrelatedly.... Refreshing pickled ginger palette cleanser bc as Ive said Lev uses my english and habits for writing a lot of the time (and im heavily influenced by him lately), and lately ive been like "ugh god i dont know if im just not getting him across..." no lmfao, looking at how Hermes speaks in that last piece YEAH NO IM NOT CRAZY
#if I sit and watch lev which. i dont usually do when hes in my body bc it interrupts the brain sync shit. ive seen him a couple times#or more than a couple like hehe let me have fun with how you write bc its (autistic lbr)#i THINK you can still tell the difference but its hard for me to see beyond the similarities. like. i think im just used to the fact that#the last spirit ie my ex that i channelled for years before he got booted was very distinct to my style at concurrent time?#his blog is still up though do NOT listen to what the fuck hes saying because its confirmed 100% with everyone i know now#that he was lying he is NOT a pc pagan spirit... but if youre curious about his writing style his blog was cosmicallynightmarish#mathi didnt really talk much on her blog so i wont link that but. yeah no tldr i think lev has a distinct style but its subtle and he#majorly just speaks through my head. which. is a fun experience in the astral actually#God its so fascinating like last night i was just hearing his voice and i was like damn. wow. love this. you never speak so low or. rarely.#and then id be like hold on its english why are you Speaking english so id stare at his mouth and it wasnt moving?#i was like bruh. NOT AS IF I HAVENT NOTICED THIS A BUNCH BEFORE but it was so wild to be HEARING his voice so vividly#and its. projected in my head using MY language?? im like. woah. eye emoji mouth emoji eye emoji#ramblings //#leviathan //#BC LIKE. im in my body - i hear him vividly in the astral - i look in the astral - hes not talking in the astral but in my mind. like it#was a bit of a mindfuck to be receiving astral impulses from the mind of my body in the astral

📂 𝐑𝐞𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧 𝐎𝐥𝐝 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞
↳ 📂 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐈𝐈𝐈: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠 "𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡"
{{Part 2}}
Miguel O’Hara x Fem!Reader
𝐀𝐎3 | 𝐌𝐲 𝐖𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐬 | 𝐒𝐩𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐭��𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭
𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭: 4.4k (that wasn’t supposed to happen icl)
𝐓𝐖 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐖: Kissing, PIV sex, unprotected sex, hair pulling, virginal fingering, cum eating, oral (m and f receiving), prone bone position (sorry bruh, very self indulgent here 💀), Olfactophilia, slight jealous Miguel (if you squint), Spanish pet names. MINORS DNI🔞🔞
𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲: Miguel unveils more about his enhanced abilities with you and the air is quickly charged with desire. Yet lurking beneath your connection, there is a sense of uncertainty about the implications of Miguel’s extraordinary powers.
𝐀/𝐍: The chapter title sounded more amusing in my head. I didn’t think this one would turn out this long, I went a little overboard. I had to break down the paragraphs bc I got carried away ;-; anyways hope you enjoy this filth <3
You turned the key and pushed open the door to your apartment with a mix of anticipation and thrill erupting inside your gut. Tonight had been a rollercoaster of emotions, and was very eventful. Despite Miguel’s huge confession that came crashing down on you like a bolder, the night still ended well.
Though, the thought of him being Spider-Man still lingered at the back of your mind and you couldn’t shake off the feeling of your ex-husband being a human mutate the entire time. Yet you still welcomed him inside the familiar confines of your home with a warm gracious smile, the door closing with a soft click behind. In the warm glow of your apartment, you made your way to the walk-in kitchen.
“Can I get you something to drink?” You asked, glancing back at Miguel as you placed your purse on the countertop.
“A glass of water would be perfect.” He replied, taking in the surroundings of your home. You were amused by the awe in his expression as you filled two glasses with cold water from your tap.
“Here,” you handed him one of the glasses.
“Thanks” he took slow sips while his gaze explored the connected living room. Your talent for interior design hadn’t gone unnoticed, even during your early days of your marriage when you both moved in together. You would always have a plan on how things would be arranged, and with a bit of trial and error, it usually turned out beautifully. Miguel, on the other hand, left the planning all to you while he would make sure you were still fed after your hard work.
It was a distinctive dynamic you had. Miguel would always make the best dishes from back home and you adored and savoured every bite. You even tried to make empanadas for him once as a surprise anniversary gift back when your relationship was still filled with warmth and closure before you grew distant from each other with him always coming home late at night, probably from his heroic duties that you were clueless about at the time. After you went your separate ways, you would try to replicate his dishes but it would only bring you pain of what you had lost. Speaking of food…
“That baked ziti was amazing.” You commented as you took another sip. It’s been a while since you went out to eat in a high end restaurant. There was never a special occasion or an excuse for you to go.
“Was the food the only thing you enjoyed tonight?” Miguel replied in a teasing tone. You watched his face over the rim of your own glass as he said that.
“The night hasn’t ended just yet.”
“Oh? Care to elaborate on that?” He responded, clearly intrigued. You didn’t give him a verbal answer, instead you put your empty glass down on the counter and took his hand, leading him down the hall and to your bedroom. The anticipation settled in the air as you settled yourself on the bed and gestured for Miguel to follow.
“We’ve got all night. So you might as well tell me everything about Spider-Man, all the details.” You purred, your gaze locked into his with excitement.
“What do you want to know?” He lied beside you in amusement and willingness.
“First of all, what was the first thing you noticed when your genes were altered?”
“You want to get to those details hm? Well, the first thing I noticed was my vision was enhanced, a lot. Along with my strength and stamina. Oh, and the spinnerets in my forearm.”
You hummed in amusement as you soaked in every word he uttered. You couldn’t believe this was where things had ended up between the two of you but you also couldn’t help but marvel at how far you’ve come. “Well, look at you. Brawn and brains. What else is there?” You noticed he was hesitant for a moment before he spoke again.
“I'm sure you’ve seen my fangs at one point.” Your body stiffened as you recalled those awful memories of your heated arguments. What you saw from his mouth was real. A hint of relief washed over you knowing that you haven’t lost your mind and Miguel had confirmed it himself.
“I have…and I thought I was just hallucinating.” Your voice trailed off.
“Yeah, I wouldn’t blame you. I should’ve been honest from the start.”
“It’s alright, we’re starting something new now.”— you paused— “So what else haven’t you shown me.” You watched as he lifted his hand and you noticed something unusual emerging from his fingers. You audibly gasped at the sight of his talons. He brought his hand closer to your face so you could get a closer look. It didn’t occur to you how intimately close you were until now, yet there was an undeniable thrill in his proximity. Maybe it was a default habit in your mind that was convincing you that you were still comfortable with Miguel being this close.
With agonising anticipation, he lightly trailed your jaw with the tip of his talons, leaving a tingling feeling in its wake. Your breath hitched, feeling how sharp and pointy they were on your soft skin. If he were to press any harder, he would surely pierce your jaw. Not that you were entirely against that; but you didn’t want to raise any suspicions at work the following Monday, especially in a facility like Alchemax. His face was mere inches from yours and you knew where he was heading with this. The air in the room thickened with each passing second.
“You want to see more?” He asked, his voice lowered to a sultry tone. You nodded, unable to form any words.
Miguel leaned in and closed the remaining gap between the two of you. Finally, you managed to seal your longing with an electrifying connection and a scorching kiss. His lips moved against yours passionately making your heart pound in your chest. Miguel must’ve retracted his talons because now he was cradling your face as your mouth moved in sync. However, you pulled away abruptly when you felt a sudden shift in the air.
“My God…” you mumbled, feeling the familiar bugle in his pants.
“I’m sorry, I don’t want to get ahead of myself.” He said, though the strained desire in his voice was palpable. “I mean, you’re not on birth control, right?” He held his gaze at you. You could practically feel the desperation in his tone.
“No…” You leaned closer, “but I might’ve got myself the morning after pill from the drug store before this.” You were planning for this moment the day you asked him out and the way his expression dropped, you could tell he picked up on that too. You got them prior to this date and the rest of the night you spend trying to please yourself before your date while imagining yourself with Miguel in bed together. But you knew no matter how much you touched yourself, you’d never reach the sensation that Miguel could give you.
A sly smile played on your lips before you leaned in for another kiss. His arm snaked around your waist and pulled down the zipper at the back of your dress. Once it reached all the way he let the dress pool around you before tossing it to the side. He left trails of wet kisses around your jaw and down your neck, however you had other things in mind. You attempted to reach for his clothed cock as he kept kissing you and gave it a desperate squeeze, making him pull away immediately from your neck.
“That needy, huh?” He retreated off of you and removed his shirt before his pants along with his boxers— his cock springing out in its full glory. You didn’t expect him to stay at the edge of your bed and lean back slightly with his cock still standing on its end. You shifted yourself so you were now on your knees. Suddenly, you felt his hand combed your scalp before grabbing a fistful of your hair, pulling you close. “Don't just stare at it, cariño,” he tugged at you and brought your face closer to his crotch.
“Since when were you in charge?” You quipped, wrapping your hand around the length and swiped your thumb over the pre-cum that was already leaking from the tip.
“The second I realised how bad you want this by getting yourself the morning after pill. Now get to work.” You didn’t expect him to catch you off guard like that, let alone even give you an answer to your rhetorical question but now you could feel your mouth getting dry. Did he know how much of an impact he had on you with his words?
“You better not make a mess on my bed.” You joked but there was a hint of seriousness in your tone. Though you wanted Miguel to leave a mark in your bedroom the morning after, the last thing you wanted was a stained sheet to deal with.
“You realise that means you’re gonna have to swallow, right?” He cocked his brow. You knew he was right and you didn’t have anything against that. If it were anyone else you wouldn’t agree to do it at all, you wouldn’t even let them touch your hair like this; they could just fuck you and leave. But you wanted the night to last with Miguel so you’d do anything it’ll take.
The strong scent coming from his crotch mixed with the faint smell of his sweat was dizzying and ignited a fire deep in your gut. That might be the pheromones doing that. You planted small kisses on the surface as his cock twitched with anticipation and desperate to be squeezed. The stifled groan you heard from his throat made your cunt throb a little and coaxed you to keep at it.
Slowly, you wrapped your lips around the tip and took his length in his mouth. You tried to avoid scraping your teeth on the skin so you wouldn’t cause him any discomfort— given the fact that his girth was taking up a lot of space in your mouth, it was difficult. You still remember the first time you sucked him off on your wedding night and he specifically told you not to do that. His length rubbed against your upper palate while your tongue wrapped around its surface. It was taking up your whole mouth and you struggled to maintain a steady rhythm while giving it some friction. It wasn’t the most pleasurable experience having your mouth full to the point where he was almost touching your gullet, but watching his reaction made it all worth it. You kept your focus on his moans and the pleasurable sound of your name on his lips. His lascivious noises were for you and only you and encouraged you to keep your pace.
That’s it, that’s it. Let me hear you.
You noticed the muscles on his thighs clenching now. It was all familiar to you, the way his body would react when he was close to his peak. Before you knew it, you could taste the ropes of his warm jizz spilling from his cock. However, you forgot how much this man could come and you bit off more than you could chew, throwing you completely off guard. Your mouth was starting to fill up more as he released and his cum was beginning to leak down your chin— your eyes watered from the intensity and you had to pull away so you wouldn’t choke. His cock was now slick from a mix of your saliva and his remaining cum. You felt his thumb wiping your mouth before he lifted your head up to look at him.
“You okay?” His voice was still hazy and eyes still half-lidded.
“Yeah…just forgot how intense you can be.” You answered, still trying to stabilise yourself.
“Let me make you feel good then.” He gestured for you to lay down on the bed. You complied and you watched how his hands reached for your panties. His thick fingers hooked on the loop before pulling them off completely. The feeling of the open air hitting your drenched cunt, that was trapped in your panties for so long, made you shiver. His index finger rubbed against the folds first. You could hear the slick sound of yourself as he kept rubbing you. Without warning he inserted his finger in your gaping hole leaving you squirming under him. His fingers were big, so big, and though you have felt them before, your body was still not prepared for the sensation.
You gulped when his finger was fully inserted with the heel of his palm pressed against the sensitive bud. He pulled out and started pumping his digit while curling them inside you. Your breathing became more shallow as he continued finger-fucking you. Part of you wondered how it would feel if he used his talons inside you. But you didn’t want to risk anything. Things were getting so good. You tensed when you felt another one of his thick fingers being pushed inside you and you couldn’t control the whine that came out of your mouth and the way your body convulsed.
The knot inside your stomach snapped as your walls clenched hard before spilling everything. He pulled out his fingers and stuck them near your mouth, his eyes instructing you to open. You did and started sucking on his coated digit, the mix of his salty cum mixed with yours on your taste buds. You released his fingers and he plunged them back in your hole. Even with them being coated in your spit, it was still dizzying taking in his fingers, especially now that your cunt was swollen from your release— it felt a little sore this time around but the pain was easy to subside with his palm nudging on your clit.
“Come on cariño, I know you can come on my finger again.” You knew there was no point protesting. Once he had his mind fixed on doing something, he would do everything in his power to get it done. It was another thing you loved about this man. “Can those other men you had flings with make you come with just their fingers?” Ah, of course he remembered you saying that. You wondered what was going through his head when you told him. Was he jealous? Maybe he wanted to claim you again? “Tell me, cariño” You didn’t say anything to him directly but it didn’t take long for your body to spasm again and your cunt gushed with another orgasm. That was all he needed to satisfy his query. You were a panting mess by the time he pulled his fingers out of you again.
You still had enough strength to register and watch what he was doing next. He left wet kisses around your stomach and licked the exposed skin. He lowered himself around your crotch and sent trails of kisses around your inner thigh before getting to your swollen core, still dripping from your last release.
“Miguel…” you breathed, still trying to maintain your composure.
“You thought I was going to give you my cock after that?” His breath brushed against your eager cunt that was still clenching onto nothing. He was definitely doing that on purpose. “You scratched my back so I’ll scratch yours. That’s how it’s always been with us, remember? I saw how you were struggling so I thought I’d reward you for your work.” Sweet fuck, you loved this man. You chewed on your lower lip to suppress your pathetic moan. The look he was giving you between your legs only made your cunt pulsate more and your walls desperate for some friction.
All those other men you had flings with were never too focused on getting you to come. They only used the sex as a stress reliever and just wanted to reach their own climax so they could fill you up. But you never complained though, in truth, you just wanted to feel another man’s touch. Since there were no strings attached and you weren’t committing to any of them, you felt like they didn’t owe you anything like that. You thought to yourself that things will be easier for your heart to handle this way since you weren’t expected to get hurt. Your mind was so fogged with that idea, you forgot what it felt like having someone care for your needs too.
He started off with licking your folds in aching slow motion, getting you riled up. Your hands immediately reached for his hair and laced your fingers through the locks, letting out a shaking breath of approval when you felt him sucking on your sensitive bud. His mouth was giving you a better sensation on your clit than his palm, that only just barely brushed against it. He pulled away momentarily and you could see your mess glistening around his lips.
Then you saw it, his fangs emerging making your heart quicken in your chest before he dived in again, fully connecting his mouth onto your core. The sudden contact made your legs enclose around him in reflex. He lapped his tongue over the folds all while gently scraping his fangs over the sensitive areas. He was careful with his movements not to dig his canines too deep to cause any pain. It was a new feeling you’ve never felt before and you knew you’d never experience it with anyone else. Every juice leaked from your core was eagerly licked by him.
You attempted to grind your sex against his face to get some sort of friction from his tongue but his strong grip on your hips planted you on the mattress. That still didn’t stop you from squirming under him though. Your mind started to cloud with bliss and all you could focus on was his tongue movement and the feeling of his fangs grazing on your skin. He watched your reaction between your thighs as your mouth hung open. You couldn’t see his full face but through the looks of his eyes, you could tell he was giving you a smug expression as he ate up your reaction to his touches like a famished man.
You could feel your senses firing again as the heat was building up in your core. His tongue started lapping faster and flickering deeper into your cunt and you couldn’t take it anymore. Your back arched against the bed and with a desperate cry, you finally unraveled again, everything that squirted from your pussy was quickly licked off from his tongue. As he pulled away, there was a line of saliva that connected your folds with his lips that he wiped away with the back of his hand. He lapped over his fangs too that were also coated from your fresh release. He leaned into your face again and kissed you lightly. You tasted and smelled the bittersweet of yourself from his mouth as he went to suck on your lower lip.
Next thing you knew, you were gently pushing and flipped over on the bed, ass up. He had better access to your hair now and it’ll be easier to take him in this position. He held onto your back, guiding his cock through your rear. He braced himself before he made his entrance slowly. You could still taste him and yourself on the base of your tongue and you knew his cock was still coated in your saliva making it easier to squeeze between your folds. Your walls caressed every inch of him as he pushed further and further into you.
You could hear and feel the suction from yourself that gripped around his length as he pulled back only to shove himself back in again. As he did, you could feel your clit rubbing against the sheets beneath you with each force from his thrusts. The bed screeched in protest as he rolled his hips into you, forcing it to move up and down. His rhythm became more sporadic like all that pent up energy was poured into one night while your head was buried into the pillow, muffling the noise building up in your throat. You were truly helpless under him, his frame was completely enclosing over you so you were rooted on the bed being shoved into the mattress over and over again from his thrusts. Blood could be heard rushing in your ear and every pulse in your system was throbbing.
Miguel, what have you done to me? What the fuck have you done to me?!
Each thrust was more intense than the last, forcing you deeper into the sheets. You couldn’t control the noises that were coming out of your mouth now as he was desperately trying to chase the high he could only get from you and the way you were squeezing him in all the right places. You felt his fingers combing through your hair again before he tugged gently, but firmly enough to force you head up from the pillow to look at him. The red hue on his eyes were glowing against the low lighting in your bedroom as he continued to plunge himself into you.
“Talk to me…who fucks you good?” He spoke over your shoulder and over the sound of the bed creaking, his breath fanning over your ear. You caught a glimpse of his fangs as he grinned at you and you allowed yourself to be drowned by the richness of his voice. He must’ve recognised that you couldn’t form anything coherent from your mouth so he slowed down his pace to give you a chance to talk.
“You…” Was all you could muster before you slipped out another moan from your lips. You couldn’t bring yourself to speak, let alone form a cognitive thought in your head.
“Say my name, querida.” He commanded, giving one strong thrust that caught you by surprise.
“You, Miguel. It’s you-!” You gasped, the sound of your own voice was sounding foreign to you. No one had ever managed that out of you. He released your hair and your head dropped back on the pillow, no longer having the strength to hold yourself up. Out of all the times you’ve been fucked on your bed, this was by far the loudest you’ve been. The walls weren’t thin but you knew you’d still be getting noise complaints by the neighbours not just from your moans but with the repeated sounds of the headboard knocking against the wall. But that wasn’t in your mind right now. Every thought was slowly melting away from your brain, even your consciousness of your surroundings as he kept fucking you. It was like every other room in the building and everyone else in the apartment didn’t exist anymore— just you and him. You couldn’t see him but the sweat building up on his skin was giving off a subtle distinguishable smell and was causing his body to stick to yours as he kept on going.
He’s close, he’s close, he’s close.
Through your teary vision, you noticed him gripping onto your headboard as leverage before going deeper inside you. There it was, you could feel his release reaching every crevice and surface area inside as his body trembled from his strong climax. The rush of his hot release made you cry out his name before he took his time to pull out. Even with him releasing his cum deep inside you, there was still some leaking out through your folds.
You felt Miguel’s torso and your back sticking together with your sweat as he took his time to lift himself off of you. Lifting your head up from the pillow, you turned to see him leaving the room, his footsteps echoed in your, now, quiet apartment. You took this time to shift and turn your body around, the sheets were slightly damp under you. Your legs were still shaking from his rough thrusts and climax. Your senses were slowly coming back to you and the pulse in your ear was slowing down. The sound of the faucet could be heard from your kitchen as Miguel filled up a glass before his footsteps could be heard again as he approached you with a glass of water.
“Thought you might need this…” He handed you the glass. With shaking hands, you took the cold glass.
“Thank you.” You downed the water in one go, feeling the coolness down your throat before placing the empty glass on the nightstand.
“Do you want to get cleaned up?” Miguel asked. Your legs were still sticky from his cum and your sweat but you weren’t worried about that.
“In a bit, let me just hold you for a second, please.” Miguel climbed into bed and lied beside you. He wrapped his arm around your waist, pulling you closer. His warmth enveloped you and you through us swirled in a mixture of emotions. The passion you've just shared with him is still palpable with the smell of sweat and fresh sex woven in the air. Your finger fiddled with Miguel’s collar bone before you cradled his jaw. Your heart was still going haywire even as the intimacy was starting to settle down between the two of you. Your gaze shifted to his own and your mind started to wander. You thought about the future and even started a family you’ve longed for with Miguel but didn’t dare to dream about until now.
“Miguel…do you ever think about having children?” You whispered, too afraid to break the peaceful silence.
“I do…is that what you want mi amor?” He murmured. Mi amor? You gulped.
“Yes but…with your Spider DNA, what if our children inherit them too. I want them to live a normal life but what if they face the same dangers you do? What if I won’t be able to handle it?” You confessed. Miguel caressed your cheek and tucked a lock of hair behind your ear before he spoke.
“I understand your worries, but we can’t let fear hold us back. I promise to protect you and them and I’ll try to be the best father and possibly the best husband too.” He reassured you. Amidst the doubts and uncertainty, there was still an undeniable warmth. The idea of raising a family with him felt like a second chance at happiness. You’ve both faced so much and you’ve overcome them. Perhaps you could both navigate the challenges of parenthood too. One step at a time.
“Thank you, Miguel. I think we should get in the shower to clean up now, don’t you?”
He smiled.
“You’re right. But first, don’t forget to take the pill…”

I am writing this as a Tumblr post because I don't want to make a video, as I feel this person is just trying to engagement bait me so he can grow his channel. Looking at his videos, he has seen an increase in views for videos that have been clickbait or trying to "call out" something. I guess you gotta do what you gotta do to grow your channel, but I am not about that.
Iixxion recently made a video and for the third time already, is rambling on about how he has been annoyed that he ran into people that referred to the portable series of MH games as being developed by a different "B team" than the ones that make the non-portable game's "A team". Of course, that notion is incorrect, anyone with a brain knows that both lines of MH games are created by Division 2 in Capcom Osaka and that there is plenty of overlap between titles in terms of staff. He argues that this misconception is the cause of tribalism and animosity in the MH community and is the single most dangerous issue in terms of growing the user base. My perspective is that there is indeed a divide on people who like the portable series and those who don't (which is fine!), and released platforms also contributed to that division, but no one is writing off any mainline game (MH, MHF, MHG, MHF2, MH2, MHFU, MH3, MH3U, MHP3, MH4, MH4U, MHGen, MHGU, World, Iceborne, Rise, Sunbreak) because it was made by some separate unrelated team.
The issue is that he blames me for this apparent misconception and points to my video from 2020 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhpDnFU6lAo) where I cover the rich history of KH games and how each of the games and the portable series' games, have influenced the franchise as a whole and what features each entry introduced. He says that my video is one of the main sources of this division and that it is somehow my vague wording around the different teams on each MH title has caused horrible damage and that I am irresponsible and lazy for this. (BRUH)
Not only was my video just 4 years ago and focused on the development history and features of each title, if there was tribalism between console and portable games, that existed long before 2020. But he uses a Staw Man argument to "call me out" which is to argue against the notion of an A team and B team that are completely separate from each other, which isn't something I ever said in the first place. When i corrected him, he counters with "so you agree with me then" and that is when I realized it would be useless to discuss with him and took a look across his past videos and found a pattern of engagement farming, so I decided to just delete my comments on his videos and walk away from it.
If you want to make an argument against vague wording, it could be him saying the only consistent difference between the members that work on a "console" game versus the "portable series" games is the Director. That OFC is not true.
Some fun data looking at staff rolls.
Very natural overlap in the areas that you'd imagine with game design and programming being the main specialized fields.
Now if you want to argue semantics, then there isn't even a "monster hunter team"--it simply doesn't exist. Only Capcom developers exist and if you had to split them into distinct teams, that is Division 1 and 2.
He would likely say "see, he is supporting my argument, told you!" or "why weren't you this clear in your history video" but that is because he is making a false connection between some crap he read online, and my video and he sees me as the main cause of this "tribalism". A very disappointing conclusion he came to. My video wasn't about team compositions, it was about the franchise title history, and I pulled and used data all from official sources and interviews with the directors themselves.
I guess when you work hard across multiple years to make fun and hopefully informative videos on a franchise, the more you get targeted with bad faith arguments or engagement farming. Doesn't make it less tiring...
Stop worrying about reddit user tribalism over console/portable games, the games do have a different game design philosophy and on different consoles, so some division is to be expected, and we have so much cool news to focus on than to waste time creating drama for clicks. Be better.

do you have any tips on writing xb? im new to watching him this season and dont have a great grasp on his vibes yet.
-xB is fairly quiet. He speaks a lot with his actions, sometimes perferring bow shots and sneaking as opposed to calling out. Also, he’s generally quieter in group settings, but will make snide remarks. He will sometimes stop talking and just listen or look at something to emphasize it.
-writing his speaking patterns gets a lot easier when you realize that half his vocabulary is “bruh, breh, man, suck it, son of a-, guy” etc. honestly, throwing those in will add a lot, especially to distinguish his tone from other characters.
-xB is very sarcastic and quick-witted. Very sarcastic. He makes a lot of dirty jokes and innuendos- he’s more flirty then most people think.
-when I write xB, I tend to think of him as someone who really loves to be adored- not even necessarily in a shippy way, he just really likes being around his friends and likes being fawned on, if that makes sense.
-he likes to play tricks and pranks, but ultimately is too nice to be really mean. He loved to give people presents, like diamonds, sets of tools and armor, etc.
-in his most recent stream or video I can’t remember which, he said that he doesn’t use people’s “real names” if he knows them, which is why he calls Joel “Beans”. So he will always call ppl by their usernames
-xB giggles a lot. Like, at everything. Very giggly guy.
In conclusion, xB has a very chilled chaos kind of vibe. He’s alert but not trigger happy, unless it’s one of his dear friends. He likes to cause problems but pay back ten-fold. As a new xB watcher like you said, I’d just keep watching his videos! He has a very distinct speaking style and vibe. If you’re looking for specific videos, I’d recommend his hermitcraft s9 videos when he’s alone on the server, because all he can talk to is himself and Keralison. Also there’s “lore” there lol.
I’m sure I forgot a thousand things, so if anyone else has tip plz add them, but good luck with your writing! I’m sure it’ll be fantastic! :D

putting this all under a read more bc it's technically spoilers (on the decisions that matter from prior games)
I'm ngl I'm pretty annoyed. I had already bought the game when I watched the release date trailer bc like I'm sorry but I've been waiting 10 years, 1/3rd of my life, for my Solas closure game and I'm going to play it. But I just read the ign article talking about the old installment choices and I'm genuinely getting a bit irritated. There is a have it both ways kind of talking point here. Epler is quoted going on about how they don't want to invalidate player choice which is why they just aren't mentioning shit anymore apparently (even though inquisition healthily respects your choices for the various possible states of the world).
But like. You aren't? Not mentioning things is one thing. I'm annoyed but I understand exponentiation happens at a rapid rate and it is unreasonable to keep adding more and more what ifs for all your random background chatter or codex entries (though I have to say, I think they've sort of taken on that responsibility by not moving the time/setting around like other series would be doing to avoid this very issue, on top of INSISTING on having some characters - leliana, morrigan, etc - appear even still!). But when you also do not accommodate the depth of choices? Bruh.
To explain: we are told the ONLY things we are being asked about are who your Inquisitor romances if anyone, if they disbanded the Inquisition, and if they said to redeem or stop Solas. Nothing else. Yet my character is going to appear in this game, I know that for certain. Will the Inquisitor be mute? I believe the old VAs have already said they're in it. Will I be given the option to choose my dialogue? I doubt it. It would ~confuse new players~ (which could be solved with a toggle on choice or something ...). It wasn't in the case of Hawke, though critically we had the BAREST of distinctions in choosing one of the three personality types to dictate our auto dialogue. This does NOT stop your Hawke, who can BE a blood mage, from having a cameo that almost entirely exists to say "blood magic is evil, it's basically the only thing I know for sure in this world"... How very respectful of my choices as a player, a creator of a player character in your role-playing game world. Presumably we are going to be defaulted to one of two (possibly a slight variant of a third for a romanced Solas though romanced to completion is NOT the same as breaking up, which these games always treat as simply never having happened) personality types for our Inquisitor, one who is kinda gruff bc they're sooo mad at Solas for ruining everything wow he's such a bastard gross, and one who is kinda somber bc theyre sooo sad about Solas for not listening to them wow he's such a fool tragic. I guarantee you I GUARANTEE you 99% of solavallens are NOT my Lavellan. I can tell you already the 20 odd Inquisitors I've made over the years are NOT the same people. Yet they're all gonna be... exactly the same. Because it isn't their game anymore. This sucked with Hawke but at least it was one tiny little main quest. Your Inquisitor is fundamental to Solas' character development. Yes I'm excited to meet Rook but not at the expense of my Inquisitors girl come on now.
Now we get to the "Chelsea is mad and angrily screenshotted your quote to say how dumb she thinks it is" portion of the post.
> "you can shape to a large degree" but only in the confines of this one specific game. What happened before? Does not matter. Mentioned in later material? Well, he actually turned into One Specific Mold. Yeah, they get bland when you do this but it's so much less contradictory, don't you think?!?! You really mattered! All that stuff you did and all that Shaping To A Large Degree really mattered!! Like, you don't even want to ask me if Solas had low approval or high approval with me? You just assume stop = one, redeem = the other?
> "something of a blank slate" ah yes my favourite protagonist, Guy Who Could Be Anyone. Just like the Inquisitor was, truly truly riveting. Like when all you do, in the role playing game, is make choices but you don't also have a place in the world, you're, in my mind, not actually in a role-playing game... There is a massive difference in weight to your protagonist as the Warden to as the Inquisitor, in terms of your place in the world. It isn't just "in one conversation, says one sentence". You could just say something totally different in the next conversation and it wouldn't even matter because no one reacts to you, no one cares, it is just you saying in one conversation "I'm from Haven and I was the only dwarf there" then in the next you say "I am from Rialto and I was raised by clowns" and no one registers any information. It was a system where people met you where you were, and then inside of that layer, you could react. It wasn't just you blabbing, people could see you and build base assumptions which sure isn't ideal but this is the world and how we live, if people hear a fereldan accent they'll have a reaction to that if they're familiar in a specific way. People could see an elf without tattoos and go yeah probably not dalish, and inside that, your elf could feel a certain way. This entirely blank slate model is just cutting out the part where you live in the world and people react to you in it. Instead, you are just constantly saying your story "oh I'm this person, this was my history". But does it mean anything? Are you actually there? I sure didn't feel like my Inquisitor was any meaningful part of the world, on any of the origins. Bro the dalish route gets so much flack for all the ppl saying since Solas/elven culture is so crucial to the narrative of the world that it's unfairly favoured but like siblings. Have you played it? You have to have MORRIGAN explain your culture to you. You don't live there at all, man, like, it's NOT substantively different... it's flavour. Barely. And now, if there's not even like, different world states to play in? The lack of my PC diversity means this just like lost miles and miles of replayability bc what is the point?!!??! It's like replaying BG3....what is the point once you did it twice and chose every different binary option? That's all there really is to explore
Ohhhhhh okay okay. She's even MORE important than I thought. Hey you know what that is so cool! Tell me! Do you think she's the exact same woman in a world where she's got a child with the Hero of Ferelden, who is approaching their Calling soon, as she is in a world where she always had low approval and was denied the dark ritual or always had high approval and was STILL denied, and each the same as a best friend for the very first time ever (possibly lover, with Kieran) to a Warden who did the ultimate sacrifice? 😊 Tell me. Please. How they're all the same. The exact same flavour of woman. And the well of sorrows choice not being relevant is genuinely insulting... I get it, they had Flemeth shove Mythal into her anyways with the post credits stinger. But my Inquisitor could've possibly spent the last ten years listening to the voices of the well, and now been on standby to be compelled...my elven Inquisitor could've spent the last decade studying their language. Apparently not though!
> "the Inquisitor to some degree feels guilty or responsible for Solas' actions" see this is what I mean. About not respecting my choices as a player in your ROLE. PLAYING. GAME. This is Hawke and blood magic all over again. There is nothing that says you ever HAVE to even talk to the man!!! Yes he is there. But so what. I can accept Hawke/Varric being a high rivalry/friendship relationship by default... But only because I'm being very generous. But this? No. Your Inquisitor is never in any world state required to give a single solitary fuck about Solas. Forcing guilt on my character to advance your plot is not cute. In a, again I cannot stress this enough, ROLE PLAYING game. It's not "decide the fate of the world, the simulator" where you just make a few key choices about political shit and slay the big bad. It's "decide the fate of the world while living in it and growing with this games host of companions" and that growth can be in any number of directions that the writers allow for. But this sort of thing turns this franchise into the former. And you can't go around saying you're a leader in player agency if you're doing this sort of thing
This idiot: "granted, that might not seem like a ton of choices" motherfucker you listed THREE. And one of them isn't even a world state choice, it's who you fuckin dated. Are you joking? Game four in a franchise of easily 100+ branching choices per game: 3.
Like even just the romance thing is so. Ugh it's so stupid! It's out of context!!!! You can romance Bull and then have to kill him bc you chose one of two paths in his quest, but there's no option for this, so it doesn't matter! Every Inquisitor that dates Bull now is with him in the exact same specific way! Presumably, don't pick it if he ended up fuckin DEAD. Bc there's no room for nuance! Oh, you romanced Cassandra and then made her Divine? Well, we don't care about who's Divine because it's Just One Line of Dialogue so guess what! You will just generically say "ah Cassandra, I really love that woman tee hee" and who gives a fuck about anything else.
Sorry but who's Divine actually would matter to Northern Thedas? Tevinter may scoff and not gaf, but the Qunari will certainly be very very aware of whatever political and religious machinations /anyone/ gets into. And why would the Nevarrans or Free Marchers not care??? The Anders? Like these are places that have Andrastian Chantry influence... This is still Thedas? Even it it's not Ferelden or Orlais???????? I don't get this. Tevinter, again, reasonable, but isn't that only one small place we're going?
Bringing up the Chargers... girl ... Sucks to be any Inquisitor that didn't save them and romanced Bull (I mean that already sucks right but like to be removed from the possibility of existing? Stone cold).
Idk I just. Can't get behind the notion that simply not referencing something is inherently more respectful. But I think I'm just mostly annoyed at this take bc it seems frankly to be kinda disrespectful, actually, to remove the nuance from my experience. You genuinely don't even care if we have low or high approval with this guy but you want to say that relationship was vital and shaped him and also force a position of responsibility on my PC? You don't want to know how my Inquisitor responds to things in terms of emotional response? Every single Inquisitor is the exact same person now, even moreso than before (and I rly genuinely think inquisitor is the weakest PC by far)?
And to just handwave and say oh well, we can get away with this because we're going north. Okay... Well...what about characters from or living in the north? We could've sent feynriel, the very first dreamer to be born since the veil was erected, to tevinter. we could've forced Fenris back to his slaver, in tevinter. How is Isabela fitting into this narrative? Will we be dealing with many or any other Pentaghasts? Obviously she's a default companion again but again I find it's crucial whether or not you have low or high approval, but apparently, these things don't matter actually. In fact you are always responded to exactly the same without fail. It's called role playing!!
I did already buy it and I will play it and I know I'm going to love it like I have the other three. But I did NOT love the inquisitor and I am not expecting to feel differently for rook, and I am really only here for Solas at this point... I mean, nothing else I ever did seems to matter anymore lol. But that's kinda worrying for me, like if the series continues with games set in the dragon age, are they all just going to be increasingly The Same? So why call it role-playing if we are actually all arriving at the same destination... You can stretch the definition to fit this mold, yes, but I personally do not care for it. If every character I put into your world turns out the same and if all the choices I made actually aren't meaningful enough to change the course of the world's history (even when they're as big as who is king, emperor and pope, and who is at war and who isn't), like, genuinely does it matter? Yeah yeah every story is a journey but Dragon Age is set in the DRAGON AGE. I admit I don't know anyone else trying such an experiment and it's always been a huge draw for me. I get that it's daunting. But they've shown they actually can handle this.
The pragmatist in me says the solution to a dangerously "quantum character," as they call them, is to just stop bringing them back. If you think Morrigan's got too many permutations between motherhood and relationship status then I'm sorry but just uh, don't bring her back. Ignoring those things? Is the worst possible option. The lyrium ghost shit with leliana did have a few lines of attempted explanation, which was in the end enough for me within the constraints of this world of magic. But saying NOTHING? would've been a slap in the face. Ugh. I love this setting I really do and I love these characters, but if you can't bring them back respectfully, then, well, respectfully, fucking don't!!!! I don't ever want to hear my blood mage Hawke talk shit about blood magic ever again lol. Just don't bring them back. An even simpler solution is moving the setting, and I don't mean moving from America to Canada bc that's what tf they're doing. Northern Thedas is *right there*. I'm talking, go to another continent. THEN I can believe no one knows who the fuck the pope is in a Catholic world 🙄 Ughhhh. Of course if you use the same host of characters in four games of choice, you're going to end up in a permutational nightmare!!! This much should have been obvious from game 2!! I feel like at that point you have a responsibility to address the encroaching beast and either wrap your story up sooner so you are dangling far far fewer variables or you shift setting/relevant characters to the plot so that you can avoid them, tactfully and respectfully. They are attempting to do the latter while still bringing in characters like Morrigan or your own PC, characters that require nuance to place in disparate world states! These characters are not one size fits all 😭
I cannot stress enough that I really do get it on a mathematical level. But to say bioware doesn't have a canon while not allowing there to be room for nuance from the canon thus far :/ :/ Idk. Just not looking forward to having to turn so much of the world building that's already there into headcanon

Bruh. A bear came up to our front door yet AGAIN and I knew immediately bc Sigurd now has a very distinct bear alert bark and it is. Uh. Primal? My dude just leapt from his spot on the landing and sprang into action. Guess I’m beginning to understand how a whole team of these can be used for polar bear deterrent.
#dogblr#alaskan malamute#dog#sigurd#bear#now taking tips of how to get this bigass male bear to stop coming to my front fucking door#bc I’m getting a bit concerned he’s going to try and escalate his behavior#I truly think Sigurd’s intimidation if even from inside#is the only thing keeping the bear from trying to tear into our house for the noms#nothing strikes fear into your heart more than the silent kinda winey dog#makes the biggest deepest bark ever

OKAY HI I JUST SAW UR RESPONSE me and matt’s (but mostly mine lmao) thoughts are like. So in my head daybreak town just came into existence like any other kh world has (whatever way that is) but i think the first few couple of wielders would’ve spread around a creation myth and it just continued until daybreak towns end (daybreak town oral traditions my beloved….)
Also controversial i think but i actually think daybreak town existed and was populated by wielders BEFORE mom came like daybreak town was already fully on its feet with a flourishing distinct culture of its own before MoM came in and started fucking shit up like thats just how it is in my head.
But yeah anyways so the creation myth in my head would be a combination of one of the world parents archetype and then after that the emergence archetype, wielders saying that daybreak town itself came into existence via some kind of light filled earth mother in the heavens (i’d like to think some people were somewhat aware of the final world’s existence so the “heavens” here would be the final world) dismembering herself and using parts of her body to create everything like, the sky, the earth, the animals, plants, and other worldly features that exist in daybreak town (such as the buildings in town itself!)
That’d be the creation myth for daybreak town itself and then it would follow an emergence archetype where wielders all come from one world into another (daybreak town) in which they now currently inhabit, irl this process is likened to childbirth a lot and the previous world is considered the earth mothers womb so i think wielders would think of it like that, especially since that that is literally what canonically happens like wielders come from one world and emerge into another
And thats my daybreak town creation myth thoughts subscribe like hit that notification button etc etc LMFAO im so insane about daybreak town culture you have no idea bruh
oohh wonderful!!! This is super cool to read
I also like the idea of Daybreak Town having its own established culture before the MoM showed up but I guess the main difference between my idea and yours is that you have keyblade wielders already established while I think he was responsible for that in some way. I think the MoM was either born in DT, or crash landed there like a shooting star lmao (he is not human to me) but yes yes agreed, I think DT had to have existed before him in some capacity
I like the idea of an earth mother too. It reminds me a bit of a really old fandom idea, something along the lines of Kingdom Hearts being “the mother of all worlds”, sentient in a way, or at the very least alive and able to give life in a sense. It would make sense if individual worlds (or DT at least, assuming it’s a special case) could be off shoots of that. Very cool and profound idea 👍👍

playing minecraft rn so i gotta know about the parkour 🙏🏽
BRUH I can’t log into my Minecraft account anymore it’s devastating. I’ve had it since 2010💔
Anyways thank u and @sixlane for asking abt this one🥰🥰 the doc name simply comes from the fact that it’s based on a Reddit story I saw on one of those Minecraft parkour tik toks. Unfortunately they work on me in the exact way I imagine Cocomelon works on babies.
Anyways I posted the idea here forever ago and its just a cute little one shot I got bored of but will eventually get back to. Here’s a very unpolished snippet.
He rubs the sleep out of his eyes, dread setting in deep, and then promptly buries his face back into his hands. He just needs a moment to collect himself.
Right. So obviously he’ll have to leave the country. Aquire a new identity, change his name, the whole nine yards. It’s a bit of a shame; Regulus has gotten pretty acquainted to his name. You know, on account of having it his whole life. Whatever new one he picks will have to be much more boring. Blend in. No pretentious stars or constellations.
Anyhow, he can probably go to France. Start a new life—as a baker, maybe? That seems like the French thing to do. Regulus doesn’t bake much, but he’s sure it can’t be that hard. James seems to like the pancakes he makes, anyways.
Fuck. James. He must be home still.
If Regulus is lucky, he’s in his room. Regulus can slip out now and sleep over at Barty and Evan’s place. He’ll come back in the morning once James leaves for class, pack up his stuff, and buy a god damn plane ticket.
This can work. First step: make sure the coast is clear. He slowly moves his hands from his face and opens his eyes and—
Regulus is not lucky.
He’s never fucking lucky. This should be expected by now.
The other couch in the room is up against the wall, perpendicular so that it forms an “L” shape with the one Regulus sleeps on. Meaning it’s the first thing he sees when he opens his eyes. More specifically: the first thing he sees is James. On the couch. In the room.
He’s lying across it, body propped up on the furthest armrest. The book he’s reading is held up so that it obscures half of his face from Regulus’ viewpoint.
Well. Regulus suspects the man isn’t actually reading at all, judging by the distinct lack of movement in his eyes. And, of course, there’s the way his face keeps breaking into a grin intermittently. One that he’s clearly struggling to suppress. He seems to reign it in every few seconds, only for it to creep back up, corners of the lips twitching, eyes crinkling, rinse and repeat.
It’s—for the love of God—it’s cute.
It’s fucking mortifying.
Regulus wants to throw something at him.

Issue one: Obsession with the physical and with grounding things. Issue two: I forgot. Polar view of everything? Whatever.
Issue 3: I want to be a beginner, and in many ways I'm beginning again, but the people I am are so far past beginners. The old men squad especially chews through beginner work to the point it's pointless to make
Ill be here trying to create and... Well. Take trying to create the iklii for example. If I give them a physical form they can be undone, especially if I ground them to it. If I give them a solid form that's unchanging, they have a central unchanging signature that can't adapt to change which means they're more at risk to the sort of... think of it like earthquakes tearing through rigid structures. The more distinct they are and the less herd-like they are like Lev's dogs, the more they can have their central thread identified and pulled on.
Individual expressions leave individual signatures. Everything in existence is written information, and so the more you write and the more distinct a handwriting style and voice and language you write them in, well, that can help them actually - hide in obvious places, the more information you give to something the more obscured the key signatures are if we're talking "everything looks like a key so what's the key" situation. But the more signatures you give something, the more that. well. you put a bunch of weapons in a game, you increase the odds of one of them being heavily overpowered compared to the rest and people will find and abuse that missed information
Leaving things to breed through generations mixes up the threads and introduces new threads, which obscures them, but I don't want these things to (pro)create. I guess I could simulate several generations in the creational womb, but that also introduces independent will which is also a liability and a weak point
Ugh. It's just... It's extensive. I'm thinking about the iklii and a function I want them to have, but the function would happen in linear time, which is a huge codex of information and you have to contribute information to get there. I mean first of all, linear time means you can interrupt the process if you can pinpoint places in time that happen to be used for the process and pierce them, like stabbing through the back of someone's knee would take someone off their feet. But. If you make something exist in spacetime, you make something exist in near infinite (if you consider the fractalisation) publicly accessible information, it's effectively like uploading an asset to a game - the coding and all information involved is going to have to be streamed through the Internet and saved in the game leaving it readable. There's ways to get around this, like encoding information you upload and also by uploading a sort of skeleton code that references your offline code but doesnt upload it... But. my god
There's so much to this that's just. wrong. When I'm creating, I'm stuck because I can see a million ways this is beginner work and how it's not right. Absolutely chewing through my own ideas because nope, easily undone, nope, easily countered, nope, easily tracked back to me. Bruh. I am a beginner. I'm very much not a beginner, but like. The souls and the self behind the curtain are struggling against the Unknowing Child lmfao waking up. It's not a huge problem - or it won't stay a huge problem but bruh. my god.
#ramblings //#astral diary //#This is just the equalisation process like. I don't want the parts of me that know this to shut up. But like I need to equalise#being a beginner this life with not being a beginner out of it

Honestly? They should've just kept Lenore as a scummy rapist with no redeeming qualities who Hector gets to have revenge against
Not that there isn't any potential in a hypothetical Co dependent toxic relationship, but I think that by Season 3 the show had made it very clear that it did not know the meaning of the word nuance, so at that point you might as well go for the "victim gets revenge on abuser" angle, because for as cliché and safe as it is it still would have been better than what we got
Of course that didn't stop the show from joking about Alucard's little experience with Sumi and Taka, but y'know lesser of two evils
Well, I suppose you can take my rants as what I'd personally write, because I am fully aware the show isn't deep enough to tackle such topics, as much as it pretends to :P
I like Lenore's "redeeming qualities", because they don't redeem her at all. They are there to make her a distinct character from Carmilla, who is a completely flat cartoonish villain - and Lenore in S3 is little more than Carmilla in a cosplay wig and BDSM getup. I don't mind traits like her feelings of inadequacy, because the show uses her to woobify her, but they can also explain her villainy, like the fan theory that she spoke about Hector in a dehumanizing way because she felt looked down on and so put on a façade of a tough vampire to be taken seriously. They give her depth and could have made for an unique villain.
The tone is the issue. And Hector is the issue, obviously. I am so utterly baffled that his big "redemption" from how spineless and submissive he was in the previous season entails... him letting Isaac do the hard work and giving up very easily on his own plan of resurrecting Dracula, and happily clinging onto a woman who doesn't fully respect him without a single hint he feels bad about what was done to him. So he's still spineless and submissive. Bruh. This is active spite down to the last episode.
And you know the clincher? Everything I say, I say it because I'm taking time analyzing the text, reading the expressions, placing scenes together. Since when NFCV expects you do to so?! When it comes to Isaac, the dialogue tells us no less than three times that he has changed. NFCV is not subtle! NFCV treats its viewers like idiots! This is the same show that has characters talk about stuff they in no way should know, for the sake of exposition! So when I'm here scratching my head at understanding Lenore's motivations for her suicide or Hector's feelings, it's because the story, quite simply, didn't care.
Isaac's story was one of growing past your desire for revenge and learning how to forgive and move on. He tells us. With a long epic speech. Hector's story is about nothing. Shippers interpret it as "taking the high road and coming to a mutual understanding". I take it as "forgive your abuser if they're nice enough and be grateful for the scraps". But I can assure you that we are all putting much more thought than Ellis and his crew did. Hector's story is an abortion: proof of this is the fact that, at the end of the day, he ends his story exactly where he started.
I am wasting time trying to reconcile the intended themes with the basics of a good story, but yes, when you put it that way, Hector might as well have blasted Abandoned Castle and gone haywire.

I'm rewatching SRMTHFG and it's funny how little I remember of it, despite having been my hyperfixation. Almost as if I'm watching it for the first time. 🤭 Absurd little show, I love it.
Especially the first three episodes, they feel so weirdly written, so... robotic? (lol) Tropy? I don't know. Off.
May 22th? edit: Wonder Fun Meet World remains the most absurd, ridiculous episode. 😂 I love it. Edit: WAIT THEY EAT THINGIES? NOOOOOO!!!
Skeleton King cackles really half the time he's on screen, lol. It's goofy. 😂
May 26h edit: I don't remember if I felt like this back in the day, but now that I'm rewatching the show, Otto really is my favourite monkey, as much as Gibson. He's cringe. I'm cringe. Love him.
I'm watching seasons 3 and 4 in english only. It's a good thing I don't remember the show because in the Latin American dub the voice cast was changed, and those two seasons felt odd to me, I didn't like them as much as the other two, and I think I was baised just because of the voices. We'll see. So far it feels just like the rest of the show.
Whoever was the supervisor that approved of Valeena's stupid dress-ends-at-the-pointyness-of-boobs design deserves a bonk to the head.
It's weird to me how Gibson is written in Season of the Skull, given that the entire show they've been dealing with "mystical in nature" stuff -as he himself have said- the entire show. Distinction without a difference. Bro, the power primate is right there. The monkeys themselves don't seem to understand it, nor the evil forces they fight, that does't mean it's not real, and suddenly he doesn't believe in "magic"? Even right after seeing it work, he doubles down? Bruh. It seems flanderizing to me. He's the scientist therefore "logic" jabbering. Who wrote this episode? *googles* Brandon Auman wrote A Man Called Krinkle and Versus Chiro (two of my favourite episodes) and WONDER FUN MEAT WORLD? I'm so sorry to have doubted you, sir. Perfect episode.
[A Ghost in the Machinder] "Machines can only appear to be alive" Bro, you said that to Antauri's goddamn face. "Machines cannot have a soul" WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU GUYS. WEREN'T YOU MOURNING HIM YESTERDAY?
[Incident on Ranger 7] Didn't the colon die on the sun? I forgot Krinkle fucking dies. Wow.
[Ghosts of Shuggazoom] Did the Hyperforce... kill people? They killed wraiths, didn't they?? Awww, Jinmay is neat.
May 29th edit: Hmmmmm, I have problems with Demon of the Deep. How didn't the Hyperforce immediately disregard Protesus as a crazy old weirdo with a conspiracy theory. Or at the very least, question more firmly who he was or how does he know what he claims to know. Instead they just went "We'll trust you bro". He's clearly not the typical Shuggazoom citizen, he's one lonely guy with incredibly advanced technology that nobody else has, where the heck did you come from? The guys an expert, he has to have been around for years, how did the HF not notice him before? Someone in the city must've known of him. He's just so suspicios to me, lol. Second of all, everything that Gibson geeks over screams engineery to me, something OTTO should be also geeking over, he's the engineer, he's the one with endless appreciation for technology and machinery and wonder in his eyes. Third of all, Antauri senses the disturbance within the Power Primate and then he goes… "we have no choice but to trust him". WHY? TRUST YOURSELF MORE. CLOSE YOUR EYES AND LOOK WITHIN YOURSELF OR WHATEVER THAT MYSTICAL THING YOU DO IS. WHO TOLD YOU THERE'S NO TIME FOR THAT? Isn't a disturbance in the Power Primate enough of a red flag that you'd rather investigate it cautiously before anything else? Why trust the guy who literally never told you how he even knows Whatchamacallit will awaken? The thing you thought was a myth but this normal Shuggazoom citizen guy knows more of somehow. And the plot twist is… he's not a Shuggazoom citizen. And I don't know what to make of it, lol, I didn't remember that about him as I wrote all of this (I did remember he turns on them, just not why). Fourth of all, poor fish people, the Hyperforce attacked them literally just for being ugly. Rude. *googles* Mark Henry wrote… not one episode I care much about. 😅 Consistency.
[Evil Ages] Why is Chiro visiting the museum in his hyper mode?
[Secret Society] Why is Chiro visiting the Arcade in his hyper mode? This is why I didn't like the entire season. /j Who… storyboarded this episode? Or supervised the animation??? It feels so weird. I dislike it in ways I can't explain. Oh! It's that scene!
[Night of Fear] Why is Chiro-- oh ok, he's normal. I love that Gibson turned into a hazard, LOL. But... Isn't it ableist to have him with exotropia to illustrate that he's stupid? "Your phase!" *gasp* PUN!! *pointing guys meme* PUUUNN!!!
June 1st edit: Wait, I just noticed that, after Ghosts of Shuggazoom, Jinmay isn't around except for one episode. Boo. Where was she?
[Golden Age] They let the old man leave to the laboratory... which is now surrounded by a deadly swamp infested with deadly creatures, which they didn't mention. How come they didn't bombard him with a bazillion questions about how things were back in the day before he left? You said you were low on vitamin C, have a slumberparty and rest.
[Object of Hate] Wasn't Morlath's whole magic/escence taken by Skeleton King back in Snowbound? Huh?? *sees Sprx saving Gibson from Morlath using his magnets* You know what would've been neat? *imagines Sprx saving Nova from falling into the wormhole using his magnets* But then there wouldn't be a story, haha. Now, I don't really like it that they go for funny poses/visual gags in scenes that are supposed to be tense, in an episode with a serious plot. They didn't do this in Skeleton King (episode). They didn't do this in I, Chiro. They did it a bit in Belly of the Beast. And here again but more. Why are they doing this? SPRX HAS JUST SIDED WITH VALEENA AND OTTO IS DOING HIS O3O FACE. I LOVE CRINGE AND GOOFY AND ABSURD BUT THIS IS NOT THE MOMENT. Am I crazy??
[Soul of Evil] *Chiro kisses Jinmay* Awww.
I've rediscovered that Gibson is still my blorbo. 🤭 So fond of him.
Also, yes, I was partially bias because of the voice change, although there are things I didn't like then that I still don't like know.
El primer doblaje era tan bueno. 😭 I wasn't wrong to not like the second voice cast, now that I've seen the show. I don't think they made a good job, honestly. They all sound closer to how they sound in english, but they lacked the personality. The first voice cast sounded different, almost everybody has a higher pitched voice compared to the original, but they delivered good acting. And I rather have that.
Favourite episodes:
The Sun Riders Thingy A Man Called Krinkle Ape New World Versus Chiro Wonder Fun Meat World Incident on Ranger 7 Night of Fear
And the little plush plus card stock Super Robot I made back then. 🤭 I didn't make Gibson instead only because I didn't have blue furry fabric. The robot, I only recently painted it.
Although I wonder if I'm still being baised? hypocritical? too harsh? (I really don't know what's the word I'm looking for) about the episodes I didn't like. Like, maybe I'm missing something, maybe something's going over my head. I don't know.
Jun 5th edit: I think Nova and Sprx should stay platonic, and leave/clarify that "I love you" as "as friends". It's not like the monkeys don't love each other, they do! But she's never been romanticly interested before. "Does a monkey have to get killed [or almost turn evil and be gone forever] for some attention?" Yes. The answer is yes. And it shouldn't be. I'd wish if they continue the show they quit the "romance" (lack there of) between them. I don't like the -I dare say it- stupid ass trope of: girl very openly and sincerely isn't interested, but there was something there all along somehow. Nova is annoyed by him and uncomfortable with his advances the entire time, you guys enjoy that?? It's a trope that should die.
Especially when Chiro and Jinmay are right there. They both reciprocate, they're already sweet and while there's the fact Jinmay won't age, they can go let's be happy together anyway, while it lasts. That's so sweet!
Jun 8th: I'm a buffoon just learning that Gibson was voiced by Tom Kenny. HAHAHA I'm also just learning about the pilot. Thingy my beloved. I wonder if I should accept the episodes I dislike and just like them for what they are: episodes of a absurd silly show. Maybe I need to hear the perspective of someone who likes them.
Jun 14th: Okaaaay. I dared to watch an episode of season 4 (one I like, Night of Fear) in spanish for the first time in decades and… It's not terrible. I still prefer Sprx's higher pitched more playful voice and Antauri's soft one from the first dub. But I think I can accept them. I can accept Chiro's and Nova's the most, despite how Chiro's first voice actually sounded like a kid and more energetic. Otto strikes me the same no matter what voice he has (he actually had two in the previous dub, this is the thrid one really). But Gibson's voice just doesn't sound nerdy, it doesn't have that charm in the delivery, like at all, that's the saddes change for me lol. HAHAHA THEY DIDN'T DARE TO TRANSLATE "I LIKE DOING IT" AS WHAT IT IS. He said "me gusta pelear" (I like fighting) instead. They didn't have him say "the ladies' department" either, 😭 this is why this dub was never good. /hyp Hmmm never mind accepting Chiro's voice, the actor didn't make an effort to sound high pitched when Chiro gets turned into a little kid. I was right all those years ago. The delivery lacked personality. 😢 I tried watching another episode. But it does influence me liking the show. I can only enjoy it in english.
Jun 17th: I keep thinking what an artistic masterpiece as a robot Jinmay is for her to pass as a human. Her arms and face must be covered in soft material that imitates skin, she has soft reallistic hair, she wears actual clothes. And well all of this seems like it should be obvious, but in her mecha form her hair and dress are metallic parts and after that reveal I got used to think of her as robot, I kept thinking of her hair and dress as metallic parts even when I saw her in her normal form. But what about when Chiro thought she was a normal human girl? And how does her transformation even works? I'm fascinated thinking about that.

(anon)
I was going to ask - if Dove harming innocents would give even Krow pause - what would happen if for some mad reason Dove went after Luke and Jazzy? *kicks Dove’s ass for it* wtf Dove why
But I do have an idea. Three possibilities actually, with varying likeliness.
So I’ve been thinking on Mary who hasn’t got much attention yet. Hmm. I am curious about what her job is?
I might have an idea of her big regret. Maybe. I suspected and the info that came next did kind of strengthen the line of thought.
TW: abuse
I don’t know how intensely religious or strict her raising was. Or whether she experienced homophobia, whether racism was directed at her girlfriend Camila, or whether those precipitated moving to the city. (Mary moved a decent distance away at an older age than people traditionally finish school or leave home/age out of care/become independent, implying that something may have happened. The city is also a safer place to be out.)
I’m hoping for Mary’s sake that the move was mostly about broadening her horizons. Maybe Camila encouraged Mary to have a fresh start, or her second income made moving affordable.
But yeah :( I think Mary is processing some painful controlling crap. Maybe even just memories. You did say she was very sheltered, that the environment taught things that were hateful and not Christ-like. Distinct possibility of religious trauma and homophobia.
I think she’s possibly also coming to terms with her actions and beliefs while she was deep in the religion she was raised in. Everything is in a harsh new light.
Now she’s questioning her faith she realises that she harmed someone in the past through following those teachings. It’s also possible she left them behind in that environment… or yes, failed them. (There’s nasty corollaries implied in that.) There are a few ways in which that could have played out but there’s not enough info to narrow it down.
In extreme cases she may even have cut or lost contact so she can’t see this person to apologise. Whether she wouldn’t be allowed to, it’s not safe to go back, or she doesn’t know where they are!!! It’s possible that the person she feels she failed is her younger self. But maybe not… /Krowspiracy theory
In writing it out I, uh, yeah, now have a Krack theory about her raising/childhood
Or maybe I’m completely on the wrong track! I’m spinning elaborate webs rather than asking for facts.
Everything I come up with is kind of reaching, potentially spoilers if somehow right, or baseless. I’m connecting dots that might not be there. Best to wait for more info.
There’s a lot unknown about her family, her school, relationships and timelines.
Krowspiracy anon. Bruh. Why do you hurt me like this?
Now, as for if, for some ungodly maddening reason, Dove were to go after not just Luke BUT also Jazzy. Yeah, Krow is NOT having that. He may not necessarily kill Dove, but he would incapacitate them and immobilize them. They would DEFINITELY be extra secure in the cage. "Y-you didn't leave me a c-choice. I d-do love you. But. I love them t-too. Even if it's you, I will never, NEVER, let h-harm come to them."
As for Mary and her job, I see her as working at a cozy bookstore or the like. One of the things she did a lot growing up was reading (even if what she could read was limited), and once she's gone out on her own, a whole world of literature was opened up to her. So she consumes all kinds of books with ravenous delight.
As for the other points...
You've really nailed a lot of points. Krowspiracy Anon strikes once again.
I'll give you some little crumbs as a treat, and for you to muddle on for your next krack theory.
Mary comes from a large family. Large family. And it has a major role into her upbringing, her personality, and ties into her... regretful feelings.

good evening~~ here’s my very cursed(!!!) top 10 list on the most redundant [redacted] anime features off the top of my head~~
debates and disagreements welcome~
10- lxl and basketball
pointless inclusion that was pretty much just an excuse to get chiz to openly thirst over aizo. and to emphasise on just how much better aizo is at sports as compared to his poor sidekick yujiro. just male leads being male leads, ig
i mean, sure, it gave us that beautiful ball e mv, but lxl’s sporty [redacted] anime-induced hobby wasn’t worth much in general.
9- the inclusion of ⅘ of gen 2 tbh
they were pretty much just background extras for the most part, except for ken, who gets bonus moments thanks to being the male lead’s brother. heck, poor kodai doesn’t get much time to shine, despite being the adoring bf of one of the three heroines of the show. mans got more screentime either behind his camera, or as juri love flashbacks during her conversations with the jk trio.
as for the others, arisa got like 5 seconds of screentime (and 4 of them occurred in the sports fest ep, romeo ed included), and kotahina were nerfed to heck and back. they were written to be competitive and stubborn characters, so why were they portrayed to be nothing more than your average caring senpai towards hiyoko? a nd cultural festival w h e r e ? helloooooooooo~~~?
sure, the sports fest ep did give gen 2 in general a chance to show their stuff, but it was clearly more of viewer fanservice for pre-[redacted] anime fans who know and love these characters for who they truly are.
8- aizo’s “trauma reveal”
idk about you, but hiyoko does not need to know about aizo’s trauma. i mean, yeah, i totally get where ken’s coming from. as a scumbag older sibling myself, i, too, get the urge to dump lots of info about my brother to complete strangers. but. it’s just that. hiyori… really didn’t need to go “oh thank god it wasn’t real trauma. now. how can i fix him?”.
she really didn’t need to say that mans. all forms of trauma are valid forms of trauma… if that makes sense. she can’t just decide that someone’s trauma “isn’t real trauma” and then go ahead and liken it to her dislike for squid. and that includes aizo’s trauma with ladies. not cool.
on the bright side, at least aizo’s local idol boo yujiro took his trauma seriously and stood by him even as their manager had a trauma minimising session with his brother. and speaking of yujiro…
7- that someya ‘scandal’
what the heck was that ep 4 someya scandal lmao. it’s never brought up again????? not even by koichiro and tamagoro in the later episodes??? do they even know that there was a scandal about them??? bruh. what was it even there for lol. the gayze???
i mean, yeah, he’s totally the shame of the someya family for going ahead to be the less popular member of a popular idol duo, with said idol-ling being something he had received the head of said someya family’s permission for. but he had debuted without his family’s name anyway so??? does it even matter???
it would’ve actually made sense if it had a call back in a later episode, with, like, the reveal that maybe chizuru or one of the 100000 aizo stans there apparently are had leaked yujiro’s last name online in an attempt to take him down so that aizo can have a solo idol career or something. but no. it’s just never brought up again.
but before we drop the topic of yujiro like how his in-universe popularity dropped to 0 in the adaptations…
6- yujiro arrest reason
this. made. no. sense. either.
did the [redacted] anime throw darts at a dartboard of possible plot ideas to decide how the someya family side plot was going to go?? or was it decided with an online prompt generator?? or was it the result of a game of mad libs with the office crew????
like? lol? who smuggled koichiro into the bar??? and wh o let baby face yujiro into the bar??? and how did none of the staff at the bar question it?
though. wait. how the heck did hiyoko even see enough distinctive features of yujiro’s during the night that she witnessed his police encounter to identify him when they next crossed paths in the classroom? she was looking at him from above from her spot on a flight of stairs in dim lighting. just how good is her eyesight? hello?
5- repurposed yumefan
yeah yeah i k n o w the [redacted] anime staff justified their choice to use yumefan as a song to encourage hiyoko bc “it’s a song about encouraging others” and stuff. but still. yappa saikyou would probably have worked too, since it’s about not wanting to lose to your rivals and aiming to surpass the rest and stuff like that. or they could’ve just. y’know. kept nonfan in their setlist anyway if they wanted to dedicate a song to their friend(?) slash manager, since that song’s mv was the first mv that hiyoko had worked on, and thus, ✨memories✨ are there, y’know?
either way, the [redacted] anime staff saw yumefan, decided “ok it’s for women now” and had it dedicated to hiyoko and got the narumi sisters to cover it as a special ed. much wow. aizo would be proud. and speaking of aizo…
4- yuko in the countdown live
she moved to france in the lxl movie, so what is she doing here in the first place? to watch her estranged son hxld hxnds with some rando onstage? go back to france, yuko.
3- nagisa arc
the main problem i have with nagisa’s arc is how forced it felt tbh. it kinda felt like it was just. shoehorned into the plot? it just. didn’t flow well. like… especially how nagisa was completely written out of the plot after he hopped on that train. lxl had been teasing hiyoko relentlessly about nagisa till he left. then it was just like. he never existed?? excuse???
i mean. i love nagihiyo. don’t get me wrong. it’s just… the way the [redacted] anime staff plotted it into the story felt… off.
look, you see, i think the nagisa plot would’ve worked better as a season closer. like, after all that friendship drama and scandals and stuff, we get a breather in the form of the nagisa visit. he could be visiting for the countdown live, or for a christmas or new year’s visit for all i care, but it’d give the lxl + hiyoko trio, with newly strengthened bonds of friendship after all they’ve been through (thanks chiz), a chance to show off their cooperative skills with the hiyoko makeover sequence and subsequent nagisa encounter. heck, it’d even give nagisa another reason to be wary of lxl, since “aren’t these the dudes from that relationship scandal you were in? you should be more careful around them fr” could be a legit point of concern. plus! it could lead into a post-series uni timeskip or something for that sweet, sweet nagihiyo uni arc crumbs!!
hmmm. well. in the end, i still hate how nagisa’s existence was all but retconned after his episodes. poor lad. he deserves better!!! and speaking of deserving better…
2- the narumi sisters’ appearance
for sena, as she has co-starred with lxl in the past, and since she is still in the industry, it’s no surprise that she’d make an appearance or two. however, the r e a l problem is how she was handled. she was only abruptly thrown into ep 6 to fit in yet another “uwu woe is me im not cute uwu” hiyoko moment in the 24 minutes of terror. plus, those sena-mona moments make no sense whatsoever if you’re a [redacted] anime-only who doesn’t know how lxl and the narumis know each other. viewer fanservice at its finest, ig.
now. mona.
#notmymona
w h o is that girl and why does she have our angel’s name and face? i swear, the only redeeming trait she has is that her character design was done by moge, which is. yeah, much cuter than her lxl movie cameo appearance.
but aside from that. who is she? she has no goals, no ambition, all she does is go “uwu i look up to my sister who i envy… but nvm i’m here to be your relationship therapist so that’s enough about me—”
she doesn’t even get to perform in the [redacted] anime even though there was an entire joint-artiste concert in the last episode. she doesn’t even salt about her nasty encounter with yujiro (which would’ve made for a more interesting topic during her second encounter with hiyoko when they talked about conflicts with friends, instead of being demoted to a bonus manga tbh). she’s so bland, she makes plain spaghetti taste like carbonara.
and speaking of carbonara, we return to lxl for number one, which is…
1- the lxl shower scene (no image bc g o o d l a w d w h y w o u ld i include it)
they are 15. we don’t need that extended shower scene. we don’t need to know that hiyoko has no qualms about barging into the showers for the opposite gender, with said members of the opposite gender being completely nude and uncomfortable when she did so. we just. didn’t need to see any of that.
who was that scene even made for? help???? just how bad did they think their own show was that they felt the need to put in an out of place scene of teen boys showering to pad the runtime?? excuse???
#good evening mom said that it was m y turn to be toxic on main s o—#pls feel free to argue with me about my top 10 list i wanna see some c o n fl a ke s yk#mmmmm… but really though. am i the only one who’s uncomfortable with the scene i put as my no. 1? hmmmmmmm#oh well! i had to chop out a ton of things on the list to get it down to 10 (local chiz whiz was kept off the list for r e a s o n s o k)#couldn’t even put it as ‘top 10 moments’ bc there are too many moments that had to be lumped in together to condense it down to 10 lmao#so!!!! let’s clash over our different opinions okay~? m i s s i o n s t a r t ! ! !
