#all these edits from panels from the manga

Good! Good good good, feel...! Think! The light weaves in and around the webbing, seeking him out and clinging where it can-- the red ones landing on his coat and sticking like drops of paint. Leeching their warmth to the veteran wherever else they touched and gathering around the spots where the vines and blades had punctured... almost in apology. Their touch soothing for maybe a moment before fizzling out. Sorry, sorry...

This is it--! || The Break Out!

| ⚡ 🌱 ⚡ | The pain was easing as the warmth flooded into him again and again and more sense started to return to him. There was more like, and the matrix prison of blades and roots was clearer than ever. Vash could see the edges of it as more light reached him.

This place wasn't endless. It was as much a fakement as Nai pretended to be. He didn't realize the capacity for perseverance that any Vash possessed, let alone what help from another Vash could provide. Or that of his loved ones. Nick. He could feel something that felt like Nick, echoing across a greater distance that he'd ever though possible. But it warmed him in his core. Something Nai could never understand. Love. Partnership. Trust.

It came to him with a jolt, lightning hot and powerful. He could hear him, feel him. He felt fear and uncertainty, his determination to do anything he had to--to what? Stop Nai? What happened? He needed to get back now. If Nick was in danger, Meryl was in danger, too! He needed to get to them!

Greenie. GREENIE! I'm awake.. I can feel your presence. Where are you?

Energy, bright gold and blinding, shot through all of the matrix's structure. It burned away as if made of nothing more than a thought. Because that was what it was. This was inside the mind. Shaped to their will. To Greenie's will. With Vet's help... And the connection to his body was rapidly returning. He felt the urgency in it. If he didn't return soon, something very very bad was going to happen.

Feathers grew from the holes the roots and blades had made, driving them out and sealing the wounds with little pain anymore. No. Nai couldn't hurt them here. Not anymore. Something had his attention. Things were not going as planned, and he could no longer keep a hold on Greenie's mind, or the prison Vet had been trapped in.

It was time to get out of here. Wing-shapes spread from Vet's shoulder and back, wildly with no real rhyme or reason. All he knew was it would give him the boost he needed to break free of this place once and for all.

It was mind-logic. It didn't have to make sense for it to work. Right? With more confidence than he'd felt for a while, he gathered the wings together and jumped 'up' breaking through the brittle prison. It crumbled beneath him as he was away. Headed out of the darkness, as if from the depths of the deepest ocean, rising toward light so vague and far away it seemed impossible.

"I'm on my way!" Now, to find Greenie... so they could both make it back to the waking world--and hope that no one else had been hurt while they fought to break free of Nai's mind games.

On the idea of Theseus's Ship: in the end, it's still his, isn't it? It was known as Theseus's, and it will continue to be known as Theseus's.

Even after he has returned to the ground which grew the wood of the hammer used to nail the ship's frame, Even after generations of new wood have rotted and the sails are rags clinging to threads, Even after millennia,

it will still be Theseus's Ship.

Thank you for bringing us home.

Goodnight, Phosphophyllite.

“Ezio became lean and tanned, wore workmen's clothes during the day, and Sofia scolded him telling him that his hands were getting too gnarled for lovemaking from working on the vines. But that hadn't prevented them from producing Flavia in May 1513, and Marcello arrived a year later, in October.”

Wait you have copycats? I never knew :0 I mean, actually thinking about it, its not very suprising since youre an amazing writer

i have found a fic that is too similar with the whole plot of my fic curiosity. like i know it’s a general trope, but the setting, order of the scenes and some of the dialogues are literally the same. if that’s not copying, i don’t know what that is😐

tropes are not owned by anyone—different writers can write about the same trope and that’s perfectly okay, but if plot points, sequences and lines are the same then i still consider it as copying :’)

and nonnie you’re too nice i’m not amazing honestly *sobs* but thank you sm🥹

i hate talking about genai bcus its fucking everywhere and even talking about that fact feels redundant but i cannot help but think about how people's arguments for why it could be good feel so indicative of how many americans think about the day to conveniences we have.

like people will say stuff like "oh wouldn't it be nice to have someone who can't draw be able to have art or voices or music for a game or other project they're working on when they're not an artist or voice actor and can't afford to pay one" and like yeah sure it would be nice. devoid of context its a fun little novelty that wouldn't hurt. it'd be a welcome convenience for them but the entire problem is what the cost comes at.

Setting aside the fact that we don't live in a world where that tech will just be used for small personal use, the stuff it comes at the cost of is the whole issue, massive water and energy consumption, people in other countries paid pennies to filter through all the horrific stuff that gets submitted to machine learning datasets. but the people touting this stuff as a great convenience that'll "democratize art" or whatever don't care about that, and it feels like the same mindset of people who refuse to boycott any company that's doing harmful shit.

Who cares if people in another country are dying, i get my convenient caffeine fix. Why should I care about the reason why I get to have out of season fruits year round, it makes things easier for me. Why would I want to take public transportation and change my behaviour, my car is easier. Why should i tolerate any level of inconvenience for the sake of another person or trying to cause less harm. Just complete and utter apathy towards what the negative effects of the things that help you are.

This show started off super strong imo, but at the climax of the 2nd ep I already started to feel the cracks in the foundation.

And now, unfortunately, ep 3 continues this trend of leaving me feeling "huh? eh?" with... well basically the entire 2nd half of it.

The scene where D fights Tokita in the storage room felt a bit claustrophobic, makes sense, it's in an enclosed space. But as soon as he gets to the roof and fights Red there... nothing changes. Nearly the entire fight is done with the same sort of closeups, making it feel like this was a cropped upload to insta or tiktok, or one of those old anime rips on yt where they avoid copyright by fucking up the footage as much as possible. It made the fight not only incredibly hard to follow but it killed the action and tension, there was no room to breathe visually.

Speaking of no room to breathe... in the latter half of the ep it really felt like they started to run out of time. I think my brother worded it very well, they were having what he called a "yapfest". They never. stopped. talking.

This is a problem that's been plaguing another show airing this season as well; Shuumatsu Train. It was especially bad in episode 1 but it's been getting better with each one but man do they rarely have pauses between the dialogue it's incredibly exhausting to listen to just like how this sentence deprived of it's commas and periods must be to read. ^ That's genuinely what the dialogue is like, and I wish I was exaggerating.

So yeah, final showdown with all the rangers on the roof was a claustrophobic fight followed by a yapfest, which bummed me out extremely. The art itself was still quality stuff, but it seems like they're allergic to using any shot type besides "close up" and "extreme close up". The first episode seemed really compelling, but I might've been paying too much attention to that instead of the cinematography and the pacing. This show really has some hiccups in that department.

I hope the next episode is better. I feel like they're either rushing through this because they want to spend more time on other scenes, or because they want to end the season on a certain part. Whatever it is, it's a damn shame.
