I had to say goodbye to my best friend today. It was the hardest goodbye I have ever said. It was the knowing I would never get to hold her again, wake to her at my bedside, or love on her.
Abby Van Buren came into my life almost 12 years ago on my spring break and stayed in my heart. She chewed up blankets and clothes to leave an everlasting mark. She could clear a room after every meal, she didn't mean to, just look at that face your honor. She played mediator in Princess Santi and Teckla’s fights, always trying to give kisses to distract them. She was their favorite.
Abby's favorite human was my dad because he fed her unless he was at work then I had the privilege of the best cuddles. I don't know what I'm going to do now without my best friend. I know she's in a better place where she knows no pain, no cancer, and where the answer is always yes.
Abby is now with her sister Teckla and Princess, and her best friend Tuffy. She’s also with my Mum, someone she so deeply missed after she passed away. I hope Abby knows I will be missing her till the end of time because I haven't been able to stop crying since we said goodbye.

Kotoko's justice and her motivations theory
While Kotoko is still pretty mysterious, there are some parts in Milgram that could hint at her inner workings and why she does the things she does. Here mostly content from her mvs will be discussed. Be careful as this theory discusses sensitive topics.
CW: discussion of kidnapping and SA
The wolf imagery and its possible multiple meanings
Before Deep Cover came out, one theory regarding the wolves in Harrow is that they represented Kotoko’s allies in her actions. 
Now that it’s out, it seems more likely Kotoko was acting entirely alone for her actions (so more of a lone wolf image rather than hunting with a pack).
Kotoko has strong ties with both regular wolves and also werewolves, with distinct symbolism for each.
Tumblr media
Jacques Roulet was the name of a French man who was accused of being a werewolf in the late XVIth century (source: https://www.historydefined.net/the-french-werewolf-panic/).
Tumblr media
The wolf imagery seems to be associated with Kotoko’s sense of justice and her preference for working alone, unlike the werewolf imagery that represents her excesses of violence (imo). This is seen mostly in Harrow, featuring wolves and an overall positive view of Kotoko, then in DC which has her more questionable sides and the whole werewolf image.
Still, I feel like there’s more to the wolves regarding Kotoko’s case.
This article  (https://www.psychologies.com/Therapies/Psychanalyse/Dictionnaire-des-reves/Loup) talks about some of the symbolisms of wolves, including violence, aggressivity, etc. This is psychoanalysis so take it with a grain of salt though.
One passage that struck me in particular was this one:
“Most of the time, in dreams, the wolf is a representation of a masculine sexual predator. Like in fairy tales, the wolf is an amateur of fresh meat (Little Red riding hood). Its presence in dreams can signify that the dreamer was exposed to disturbing sexual behaviors, abusive or pedophilic.” (translation)
This is what I think could be the hidden symbolism of the wolf in Kotoko’s mvs: maybe she was sexually abused as a child and developed her vigilante persona/obsession with punishing criminals as a coping mechanism to her trauma.
This part of Kotoko’s past might be hinted at with the flashbacks she gets at two points in Harrow, as she could be the little girl with the pink shirt we see (though this is still just a theory).
I feel like she’d need a very strong reason to go the lengths she goes for her hunt of criminals, unlike someone like Fuuta who also hates injustice, but takes much “lazier” actions for his beliefs for example.
In my opinion, wolves for Kotoko represent both her determination to hunt criminals, and werewolves her childhood trauma and her tendencies for violence depending on the scene/situation.
Tumblr media
The wolf (both childhood trauma reminder and a representation of her violence here imo) haunting Kotoko. She also became the aggressor she hates so much like a lot of people pointed out, though in her case it's physical violence.
Tumblr media
Kotoko doesn’t understand why she’s still not satisfied after dealing with all the criminals on her list and beating up the guilty prisoners. It could be because her trauma is still occupying her thoughts.
Many people have theorized that the girl with a pink shirt in Harrow could be Kotoko as a child. I completely agree with this, and it could be that Kotoko beat up Takao (the child kidnapper) to the point he died, because the orange dress girl’s situation reminded her so much of her past that she lost all control and killed him in the emotion (unlike the guy in the alley who she just beat up (iirc)).
Tumblr media
Kotoko’s flashbacks while killing Takao (the car incident seems to have had an effect on her too).
A detail that’s a little strange is how the man in Kotoko’s flashback looks exactly the same as Takao (he’s even in the same outfit). It’s strange because Deep Cover confirms he’s 24 at the time Kotoko kills him, so he couldn’t be an adult if he was the one who hurt Kotoko as a child. Maybe she sees him as a stand-in for the person who traumatized her in the past?
As a side note, I think both the girl in a dress and the one in a pink shirt are Kotoko in the flashback. Maybe she changed clothes if she was kept captive for multiple days, and the floorboards look identical in both frames.
Some lyrics from Harrow that could refer to Kotoko’s past are these ones imo:
-I’ll teach you the pain you caused
→ as in the pain she suffered herself, hence why she feels like she has to punish criminals
- Becoming light-headed again, it all becomes crazy
The normalcy sought for, Fading away, Everytime death comes
The soul moves forward
and
Newly born “HARROW” “HARROW”
It’s ok to dislike, right?
Losing it, losing it, What should I hope for
Goodnight “HARROW” “HARROW”
Laugh and I can get to like myself
→ this could highlight how Kotoko constantly has something on her mind which makes her day to day life difficult (and that punishing criminals helps with it somewhat)
Tumblr media
Kotoko’s self-hatred
If the theory about Kotoko’s childhood trauma is true, I feel like it could explain her general aggressiveness and dissatisfaction with life. Some lines in her mvs hint at her disliking herself too (“Feeding on food so I don’t burn out” etc).
“The feeling of being "cut-off" from peers and "emotional numbness" are both results of CSA and highly inhibit proper social functioning.” (source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_sexual_abuse) 
(Since wikipedia isn’t always super reliable and I’m not an expert on the subject feel free to correct me if this is incorrect.)
Of course there are other explanations for this kind of behavior, but this info could potentially explain some things about Kotoko. 
One thing is how Kotoko keeps her distance from the other prisoners in Milgram and isn’t really close with anybody, not even Kazui for example, who has the same hobby as her (training).
Other prisoners try to get to know her in timeline conversations , but she always stays placid and cuts the conversation short.
Mahiru: Hey, Kotoko-chan. There’s something that’s really been bugging me, so do you mind if I ask?
……how do you style yourself so well? Have you always dressed like that? But it also looks like something you’d wear for training. Do you play sport? Ah, or maybe some kind of martial arts?
Kotoko: ……you really are carefree. Everyone in here is a “murderer” right?
Is this really the time to be asking questions like that? 
(tl by Rochisama)
Mikoto: Hey, hey, Koto-chan.
I’ve been thinking this ever since I first heard your name, but...
Don’t you think the names “Mikoto” and “Kotoko” kinda sound like siblings? 
Kotoko: No. 
Mikoto: Don’t say that!
Let’s get along well from here on as the Koto-Koto combo! 
Kotoko: I’m not doing that. 
(tl by Rochisama)
She could also just have an aloof personality by nature, but still wanted to point this out.
During Deep Cover, I feel like Kotoko’s diss on the other prisoners is mostly meant to show  her own self-hatred rather than her dislike of the other prisoners (though this is definitely true as well).
It’s perfectly normal for someone to dislike some people, or a specific kind of people (like how she mentions disliking Mikoto because he’s loud). However, Kotoko goes well over all that and goes on a rant about each prisoner and their supposed faults in her eyes. In my opinion, it’s very strange that Kotoko dislikes All the other prisoners without exception, and to that degree.
Like said earlier, I think Kotoko’s obsession with justice and punishing “evildoers”, including people like Yuno, is not so much her caring about justice but a way for her to cope with her childhood trauma (Fuuta and his justice-seeking is also similar imo, though in his case my theory is that he was bullied in the past).
We see her beat up multiple people throughout Milgram, but so far her only confirmed victim is Takao. With the emphasis on her flashbacks when thinking about him in Harrow, Kotoko could have killed him instead of beating him up like said above, as his crimes were directly linked to her past experiences, and she couldn’t bring herself to stop before killing him.
I think Kotoko doesn’t really care about the other prisoners cases’ specifics in the end, she might be just searching for an excuse to prove to herself that she’s one of the “strong ones” who protect the weak, like she mentions to Es in her second vd and in a distorted line in one of the trailers:
“From the beginning I've never asked for your understanding! My actions, one by one, are bringing earth closer to peace. Useless Weaklings should just shut up and let me protect them!" (tl by milgram_en)
As in, she’s trying to prove all that to herself most and foremost.
Tumblr media
Why does Kotoko look so restless here? Of course she’s happy to rescue the girl, but why is she sweating so hard and grabbing the girl by the collar? In my opinion, this could be because she’s still shaken up from Takao’s killing (in the sense that she just killed the equivalent of the person who hurt her as a child, if we go with that theory). Maybe Kotoko sees herself in the orange dress girl, and she wishes someone had been there to save her too when it happened to her in the past. 
It could be why she instinctively pushes the girl away (?) when she hugs her (though later in the mv we see they get along).
Another detail in Deep Cover that’s pretty interesting is the last line in the lyrics:
“They’re still here, still here, it grates me”
From the previous lines it’s implied she’s talking about the other prisoners, more specifically the innocent ones in T1. So they get on her nerves because they were incorrectly judged and couldn’t be punished by her (imo).
The Japanese line however is a lot more vague:
“ほら残ってさ 残ってさ 鬱雑いね”
The line means the same thing, except the subject isn’t made clear. So a literal translation could be like “X is still here, X is still here, it grates me”
The English translations are official so maybe I’m overthinking this, but maybe Kotoko could be talking about her thoughts here? This is a reach, but “X” might refer to flashbacks of her childhood trauma, especially if we go along with the theory that the wolf at the end of DC= Kotoko’s trauma personified. This is just speculation though.
Tumblr media
I feel like the subject in the last line being the wolf/Kotoko’s trauma could explain why she looks so distressed here, despite just having finished insulting the prisoners. 
Plus, the next frame shows Kotoko’s chess piece being covered in blood/marked guilty like the other prisoners’. Imo this shows both Kotoko’s realization that she went too far with her “justice”, and that even after enacting it, she’s still not satisfied (because the real cause of her justice-seeking could be her trauma).

I saw @/moibakadesu sharing a milgram ships tier list, so I thought I'd share my own :3
Tumblr media
conclusion: Haruka should be friends with everyone. Also Futa does not kiss girls
Fun fact, even though 0301 is my OTP now, the first ship I took a liking to when I got into milgram was 0703
I left out ships I don't have any particular feelings about. (I think it's obvious who are my favorite characters lol)

TIT AUCKLAND FINAL RECAP
Tumblr media
the spoilery stuff is at the bottom of the post, the rest is safe
Since June there has been a discord server going for everyone at the Auckland show. It was amazing to make so many friends before even going to the show. We all got to know each other in the months leading up to the event. Super cool!
We all met up for lunch before the show to hang out and exchanged our crafts. (craft haul x) It made me so happy to see people excited to meet Carlos and my dolls :).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
@peter-must-die with his amazing shirt holding Carlos
We made our way to the KTK theater, and I bought some merch. Literally shouted when I opened my photocards to see BLONDE QUIFF PHIL!!!!!! :O
I came PREPARED for my meet and greet, had an agenda broken down into 3 steps. I had been overthinking this for months and have lost so much sleep from tit anxiety. The plan was very helpful! I was revising it in the line.
Tumblr media
My hands were totally full. Sister Daniel kept on escaping my grip, we think she was trying to run away. I also recall repeatedly doing my Christophe Giacometti (from yuri on ice) impression in the line.
Tumblr media
In the meet and greet line I discovered that I randomly have a lot of upper body strength 😅. I was giving out VERYYY tight deep pressure hugs to people who wanted them. It was very calming. I also got a stopwatch out and we did some 4/4/8 breathing. Then our time was almost up, and WE COULD SEE DAN.
Tumblr media
I filmed Max's meet and greet for them first. So that was good getting to spend a minute or so in front of Dan and Phil before it was my turn. I had briefed Max on my agenda, so they knew exactly what to do. My full meet and greet post with photos and the video are here (x). THANK YOU SO MUCH @shitwheresfoxy FOR BEING THE BEST GLAMOUROUS ASSISTANT EVER!
Phil did not seem like a human. I stupidly told him he was like an animatronic robot. He is just SO BEAUTIFUL IT DOESNT SEEM REAL. You need to understand, PHIL LESTER IS SO ETHERALLY GORGEOUS IT IS OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!!!!!! He's just so 🥰. No wonder Dan can't stop looking at him like that in the videos. I get it now.
Dan definitely led my m&g, and I've heard others say this too. He does most of the talking, offers to take the photos, and he had the biggest reactions to things. I made him cackle a few times and I will wear that like a badge of honour. Some other highlights include:
Dan's first reaction to Carlos "uhh.. what?"
Dan's crab hands in our selfie
Dan talking to my camera whilst I fetched something from Max
Their first reaction to my dolls
Phil waving and saying bye to me
BONUS 1 MINUTE AND 39 MINUTE VIDEO OF PHIL HOLDING CARLOS, THIS MEANS THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE TO ME
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I am slightly embarrassed about how excited I got, I went a bit nuts. Told them Carlos was "the love of my life" 🤦. Was completely hyper after the m&g, had major zoomies and couldn't calm down. That's when we caught up with the silver VIP people from the server.
@totally-srs-all-the-time made this STUNNING bedsheet cape and wanted to put it on me to have mega bed sheet titfit. Only when she held it up to me, I thought she was wanting to use it as a weighted blanket to calm me. So I lay on the floor 😂, she still put it on me and got this pic.
Tumblr media
Met the phiwi backpack too!!!
Tumblr media
I recorded our preshow and put it on youtube (x). Can't believe Olly's figure skating question was answered! That was wickedly cool. There is a very small group of us who got SUPER into ice skating these past couple of months. So to have our niche acknowledged by Dan himself was PHENOMENAL.
Tumblr media
We all danced to HOTOGO, @einsteinfrizz 's amazing video from the balcony can be found here (x)
And then it was time for the show.
SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!!
I took notes during intermission and after the show of what I remembered.
Our conspiracies were:
Toilet, Clothes, Bus, and Vegas
"They share clothes." Went on about how their nipples touch the same cloth and did weird nipply gestures.
Lawyer Dan banned Australia, wrote erotic fanfiction about Gollum, and went to jail for killing phil. (Phil then said "hopefully he was not a CEO" and everyone CHEERED SO LOUDLY FOR AGES. They were both caught off guard by the big audience reaction, and it seemed like Dan was genuinely surprised/shocked that Phil said that.
Linguist Phil's favourite word was 'perky nana', he liked to help old ladies cum, and had a secret collection of lesbians.
Phil's 1 minute improv was on stationary. He thought the person said penis, but he changed it to pens, and then decided to change it to stationary. He told a story of how he had a cola scented gel pen and would fill in an entire page and just sniff it.
Early on in the show Phil thought he swallowed a fly and started choking. He then yelled for a "minion" to fetch him water. Dan was taken back by this and it was about a minute before a crew member walked on with his water bottle.
(I'm sensing this show is a lot of Phil saying off-script random shit and dan being shocked by him. Which honestly checks out.)
"Jesus but more shippable" IM SORRY WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY DAN
Phil said reject modernity embrace tradition correctly.
They still think the phanniversary was "last month."
Everyone yelling "gay" together in unison was so healing.
Phil messed up the song lyric again and said "I got the tattoo" instead of "you"
SISTER DANIEL HOLY FUCK WHERE DO I BEGIN. I was in the 4th row on the left side which is where she stood. I knew all the spoilers going into it BUT NOTHING COULD HAVE PREPARED ME. I screamed at the top of my lungs when I first saw her come out. I AM SO THANKFUL FOR THE PRIVILEGE OF GETTING TO SEE HER IN PERSON I WILL NEVER TAKE THAT FOR GRANTED. She is so AAAH. Religious, eye-opening experiences were certainly had. AND SHE WAS IN DOC MARTENS. I'm never gonna be able to put into words how feral she made me.
I would say that I was very familiar with the show content before I got there. But in reality, everything was 100x weirder than I thought it would be. I mean that in the best way possible!!! Dnp were OFF. THE. RAILS. They were still the same people you see in the videos, but uncut and UNLEASHED.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
AND THEN THERE WAS THE FACT THAT I WENT HOME WITH AN ACTUAL PROP?!?!?!
Tumblr media
At the end of the show, I rushed to the front of the stage to steal the confetti. (I'm a hoe for collecting show confetti, I did the same thing at WAD).
Whilst I was collecting confetti and taking pics of Carlos, one of the stagehands came out a few times, handing out the Australian props to random people standing at the stage.
THIS IS THE GREATEST THING THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED TO ME!!! Here are some close-up photos I took of Obi Wan, and a video of what he can do (x). I walked into TIT with a Sister Daniel and Father Philip doll, and I came out of TIT with Phobi Phan Phenobi.
Tumblr media
I also got one of the role model or no-le model cards, it is blank on the other side apart from their signature.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I also got to get up and close with other people's props. I even got to play Max's ukulele. I played the TIT song and I can tell you first hand that that thing was VERY out of tune. I know Dan was only fake playing it, but at least tune it first 😂.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The day after, a big group of us went to Auckland Zoo! Man that was a lot of fun. We signed TABINOFs, and I got a bunchhhh of pics of Phobi Wan, my photo dump is here (x). @spanielt0wel also got a doll, so I made sure to get some photos with them together.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The post-tit depression is REALLLLLL. I miss being surrounded by like minded people. It was so easy to unmask and just be completely myself. I have never felt more like me than when I was surrounded by all the queer, neurodivergent phannies. This was the happiest I've felt in years. So thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who came to talk to me, and to all the friends I've made through the discord 💙.
Now I am back home and terrible influencing up my room cause I never want to forget this amazing experience.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The box frame was inspired by this one
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The posters I got signed are looking GOOOOOD. Also Phobi Wan looks so silly sitting with my monster high dolls. I'm gonna treasure him forever. HE MAKES ME SO HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also thank you to everyone who voted on my poll you've convinced me that #4 is the way to go and I shall be ordering that flag soon.
Tumblr media
THANK YOU TIT AUCKLAND

Funny story...
So I'm high functioning autistic. I did decent in school, but when it comes to remembering things, people telling me things, like minor details, i.e., they love to play Kingdom Hearts on PlayStation 3, that's locked into my brain. I'm going to remember that about you for years. Like I'll probably buy you things to do with the things you like. Anyways. Because of this, you could tell me, hey Katy, I'm going to put this box in my closet, but I have to know what it looks like and be paying attention. ADHD plays a part in this.
This is where things get sort of funny... I lost my Papa when I was 10 years old, and I know what his urn looked like. I vividly remember we did not put any of my Papa in his grave. I told my family this when my Nana passed away last year, and everyone was like you don't know what you are talking about; he's in the ground. My dad and brother were on my side about this. I couldn't contact my mom. She's sort of passed on... Anyways we buried my nana's urn, I missed the funeral due to traffic, and I had a breakdown at my Papa's grave. It was so embarrassing. This really nice biker guy even came up to me and gave me his handkerchief and told me I was too pretty to be crying. Anyways... sorry rambling
If you are still even here. I get a call last week. It was my Aunt. The rest of my Nana's stuff had arrived, and my Aunt had been going through it. She's freaking out, near tears, in hysterics, "I found Papa!" I'm like calm down, "what do you mean you found papa?" She found him in his urn, in a bag with a bread tab keeping his closed. A BREAD TAB is keeping him CLOSED! 😂 I'm laughing because my Papa collected bread tabs to teach me how to do maths, and it's just so him! Needless to say, I had a breakdown at an empty grave last spring. My poor papa got beat to his grave by his wife, who probably has now decorated it so out of style for him, and my Mom is probably getting a huge kick out of this.
My Psychiatrist asked me how I'm handling this. Honestly, I'm laughing while just wanting to go TOLD YOU SO! But my mom's family has a bad habit of never listening to me, so there isn't much I can do about it. If you read this far, send me the word Peanut Butter, and I'll make you a moodboard of your choice.

The way I got so excited for a new chapter of kiss then kill each other then i realized it’s just an older pinned post my bad broski 😔
I’m such a dumbass lmaooo
oh my god!!! i wish!!! finals are kicking my ass rn but i have not forgotten about KTK! i am hoping to get another chapter out soon. writing starx has been so fun so i have a bunch of motivation to write it, i just need the time lol.
here’s a little snippet of the next chapter so you’re not completely disappointed:
“So, it looks like you’ve got yourself a new friend.” His voice was light. She recognized that he was teasing her.
She felt her face heat up at the implication, “Not a friend,” She defended. “He is working for Slade. I am Slade’s prisoner. We are teammates.”
“Teammates?” Robin questioned, “It seemed like you guys were pretty comfortable with each other.”
“It is not like that!” She blurted. She felt sweaty and she was absolutely sure her face was going to burn off any second.
She could not understand the odd reaction she was having to Robin’s inquiries about Red X. He was a friend, one she needed desperately. She was glad to have someone on her team. It was just that — for whatever reason, she didn’t want Robin to think she had replaced him.
He was grinning at her, “Not like what?”
She couldn’t understand why he was smiling so wide at her. It was as if he thought her nervousness was the funniest thing in the world to him. Part of her thought he’d be more angry at her new ally and the close relationship they had formed.
“Not like… well — you know…” She stammered.
“No, Star. I’m not sure I do know,” He said. The smug grin never left his face.
“Not like us,” She finally managed to bite out.
His teasing smile dropped. He gaped at her, unsure of what to say. The blush finally left her face and she felt her breath hitch in her throat. He was staring at her so intensely, she felt exposed in ways she had never felt before.
“What do you mean, Star?” He finally whispered.

Hi Mark! Next time you talk about typal draft archetypes on your podcast, could you talk about the creatures that dont get the type that matters? The berserkers in KTK that could have been warriors, the soldiers in ELD etc.
If every creature is the relevant type, we might as well just say "creature". The reason typal is interesting for design is that it makes players evaluate cards differently.
