Good and Bad news

Good news: It’s the 30th anniversary of Magic School Bus!

Bad News: Emi Shinohara, the OG VA of Sailor Jupiter, is dead.

listen I’m not gonna pretend like dead apple isn't a confusing story that probably needs a rewatch/read to fully grasp, but I swear ppl will say the plot was incomprehensible (or somehow claim there was no plot at all) and then only talk about the dazai and chuuya scenes. well maybe if you paid any attention to the literal main character you would understand dead apple

"I mean, keeping Nexus as a villain sounds interesting but with how villains are usually treated he's probably going to die-"

"We have to kill him." -Solar

"… Aw, damn it."

Anyway, looking at Nexus with big ol' eyes. I hate him (i love his character so much I want to look him under a microscope)

Thougghh some specific lines I do find interesting.

"I realized something. Problems don't need to exist if I get rid of them. If I have nobody to love, I don't need to care when they're gone. So, I ripped out my emotions, stomped on them, and burned them with this new power."

Sounds to me like he was getting exhausted with caring and stressing out about the people he loved so much. If he did love them. I'm assuming he did, despite what Nexus says. (Though it's a cool thought if he actually didn't. Mixing up love with the feelings of needing to protect and care for the people around him because he thought he needed to do that. "Loving" his family because he thought that's what he was supposed to do.)

Maybe when Solar died and he realized how much despair it brought him, he thought how he would survive if his other siblings died. If losing one hurt so bad, what would happen if he lost the others? He wouldn't be able to live with that. So distancing himself and cutting them off entirely fixes that problem. (But he still cares. He's trying to be apathetic but deep down he still cares. Maybe, I don't know his thought process anymore at this point.)

I'm assuming the dark/negative star power is not only killing him, is also accelerating his terrible mental state, sending him down a deeper rabbit hole. It's still him doing all of this villain stuff though so like... shrug.

"I was weak. Now I have something you can never compare to."

Tired of being hurt? Tired of constantly trying to survive life because of the antagonists? Because if he stands at the top, then nobody can cause him any more pain.

"Deep down, I think I always was this."

I want to raise my eyebrow at Nexus but also,,, it is an interesting thought. Simmering hatred(?) of the others and wanting to be stronger (to not get hurt anymore.) that was blinded by loving the others. But I also think he's bullshitting through his teeth. But I actually really like how this is going for Nexus now, honestly. And while I'm still hoping for a redemption arc, as long as he doesn't get killed I don't mind this whole villain thing. The family having to deal with problems caused by someone they once loved? Is a really cool plotline. I feel like this entire post may be extremely obvious, but. I don't know, I'm just putting my thoughts together.

Man, I'm replaying Stormblood on a casual alt and the Lyse-Wuk Lamat comparisons absolutely SHIT on Lyse???

Like Stormblood was absolutely Lyse's Story but even at it's most egregious it didn't come anywhere near as In Your Face as Wuk's Story in Dawntrail?? Which is frickin' wild???

Like for real my biggest Stormblood Main Character Complaint is Lyse's first outfit design. Legit all I think about when she's on-screen is how unsupportive her white-ass bra is, and how likely she's dealing with wedgies with her white-ass booty shorts. Fucking for realsies, the rest of her OG outfit is great! But her "I'm 12 and unsure how to deal with puberty" undies-vibes drive me fuckin' nuts.

At least the recent graphic update saved Hien and Gosetsu's outfits? To the point that I'm probably gonna buy Hien's samurai outfit for my Xaela dude who hasn't even unlocked samurai??

Anyway outfit aside, Stormblood MSQ Lyse isn't HALF as frustrating as Dawntrail MSQ Wuk Lamat is, good christ can we stop shitting on Lyse for 5 dang minutes

[kingofanemptyworld]

.5 seconds of Grimmjow content… god I’m going to be insufferable when he shows up again for good

[whyamiherewhosummonedme]

okay but seriously what the FUCK is luocha's deal. He's broken as all hell in gameplay, I always have him in a team, but also. Dude. Wh. What is your DEAL

[malusrecord]

[edelgards]

love how the sentence "marth and edelgard are married" isn't an entirely wrong one

[kakusu-shipping]

I apologize for not posting anything at all. I'm no where near the end of VLR but these people have invaded my brain and I can't do anything about it.

I hope that we don't have to read the comics, books or watch the show to get certain things and characters in DAV.

And if characters return then hopefully many more from older games especially now that we go to their home countries and not - for instance - a Celene who has this extremely awful backstory that we barely learn anything about if we don't read the books.

the fact that a large portion of Vento Aureo fans mostly just like la squadra is kinda weird to me. it's like we're looking at the same picture but we enjoy completely different things about it

[welcometoteyvat]

wait hello what the fuck wriothesley's va also voices retuo WHAKJFIOEWJIGKWH you can't do this to me

[ziskeyt]

hi, yes, hello. i am bad at melee combat and this fight requires me to be MUCH better at dodging and just, melee in general. and guess what?? i am NOT and I have died. multiple times. to this one fight. because i main the bow.

Link: legendary swordsman. when i play him: hmmmmm kinda mediocre at that actually. i went to go to the big fight and hahaha. ahahaha. i am not prepared. You'd think i was cause i finished all the shrines. and yet. death. gonna spend time gathering more supplies, making food, upgrading shit, and trying to figure out how to fucking perfect dodge, something i never did well in botw either.

[skyburger]

i make this exact face watching 99% of metal gear but ESPECIALLY here. fatman is one of those characters who shows up for one scene but has some of the best line delivery in the entire game

[mistyechoes]

okay ngl to you. a lot of the appeal young justice had to me is gone now?
