#and didnt absorb all the weird shit?

[neocores]

genuinely feel like im the omly solavellan that was disappointed in the end by what we got

[mainfaggot]

just watched challengers at the cinema w my little sister. it was so intense wtf

[azurefaire]

> watches an entire video rant on how chibiverse is a online content farm created by disney (id say there is some good things or at least an attempt in those early parts and i do like the art style actually but yeah it is), and lowkey messes with your mind cause disney has screwed over many of the shows they featured and they have free range to use any characters they own without the involvement of others (hailey's, woy, toh etc)

> disney releases a new episode of said show that literally pays homage to older/forgotten shows picked from a bag and puts them underground in a cave

> finds clips on youtube

> pepper ann is there my baby!!! seemingly portrayed in the best light compared to bonkers, billy dilly, maggie etc

> they GOT pepper ann

> remembers the time i thought about a month ago "what if pepper ann nicky and milo were in this show, that would be impossible especially since the chibiverse thing is all a tiny land of modern series. they are probably in a distant land, or somewhere underground"

> reminds me of the time i had an idea of cartoons qliving a double life when they arent airing, within a multi channel cartoon crossover called "under the airwaves" sort of like wreck it ralph but cartoons from tv. literally would incorporate so manyy real shows into this idea, including this shit cause it has facinating implications and i remember a glitch when it first aired lol

> enough of my garbage au/crossover shit!! oh wow shes so cute though!! my baby!!!

> THEY GOT PEPPER ANN'S BABY CLONE IN A CAVE UNDERGROUND EATING DIRT WITH CLAMANTHA FROM FISH HOOKS??? IN THE UNDERVERSE??? SHE'S EATING DIRT??

> BUT FISH HOOKS HAS BEEN relevant out of all these shows especially on tiktok and specifically shellsea. so i guess clamantha. sure. certain comic relief characters people dont care about. has anyone truly cared for clamantha when jocktopus exists? really...

> penny and kim were very lucky to have continued relevance. they could be eating dirt! not all up in disney's weird ass fantasy living neighborhood gen z ifed

> now realizing this is when many characters havent spoken for literal years return... and how thats kind of cool in some aspects. but i think ppl wanted more animated version kim possible years ago...

> realizing if they didnt pick the funniest characters to do this, they could literally piss off so many fans of like motorcity or like randy cunningham maybe. i mean they probably did with penn zero for like two people.

> who picked them and why. also vince from recess took me a while to get why cause he didnt seem like the lead. but i'm assuming he's the most "underrated" or underutilzed one

> bonkers, spitting image of "obscure disney cartoon" - even watched a video on that... has a line where he says chibi. maggie the fly that everyone loves to hate has lines. i dont know why everyone hates her, she's self absorbed or something.

> i dont care about star vs but star is so cute in this and her dynamic with vasquez is funny...

> the primal desire for crossover content and the joy it brings is real. the uncontrolled desire to say "i didnt know i needed this" is real. i didnt need this! in some ways i hate this! in some ways i dont want this! but i like it anyway. and i cant stop it!

> chibi pepper ann also implies the existence of a chibi moose or a chibi cissy or trinket or gwen or alice kane or the teachers or trinket or lydia or steve the cat or mark hamill or alex trebek or effie shrug... chibi stewart waldinger....

> no cartoon is safe. chibi nightmare ned. chibi weekenders. chibi fillmore.

> watch them acknowledge house of mouse very soon in a very tongue in cheek way that will piss everyone off cause this show and that show are often mentioned together online. they probably look online to get script ideas idk maybe. something something ppl might say about tarnishing legacy of older cartoons cause every ip (😔) is at risk here. but they lay one finger on hom?? people are very protective of that show. carnage.

> hurt/comfort nickyann 500k fanfic in the underverse nicky going "i miss my family pepper ann. i miss them a lot."

> gonna watch the whole thing now.

Terrorheads r always dunking on goodsir for the moral absolutism & then having absolutely no nuance in their own conceptions of good & evil. Like when goodsir finally snaps & poisons the mutineers ppl are like "oh see hes a bad person cus he couldnt forgive them cus he only thinks in black & white!!!!" but like bro. If somebody kidnapped u and forced u to carve up your coworkers' bodies for consumption u would not feel too friendly toward them i think. Or just how ppl talk abt goodsir in general. Like yeah he believes in colonizer shit, he was raised by colonizers. Every1 on the ships believes in colonizer shit i fear. But he gets more shit abt it than anyone else bc theres this weird conception that its worse to try and do good and get it wrong than to just straight up act out of vanity or greed. Not that goodsir should be absolved of anything, but its weird how ppl have so little empathy for characters whose desire to do good is tainted by ideological conditioning. Like bro i hate to break it to u. We all have ideological conditioning. If u act like thats some inherent moral flaw and not the inevitable product of living in a society and absorbing that society's beliefs, u will have a very hard time recognizing it outside of tv shows where people are just characters.

Also theres a difference between having no empathy for franklins men bc ur pissed at them and having no empathy out of principle. I feel like theres some recognition of personhood that comes w putting someone on the receiving end of a human emotion like anger, whereas if ur just like "logically i know colonizer bad, so empathy for colonizer = bad," ur putting them on a subhuman level out of the reach of emotion. U dont feel anger or empathy for them. U never find out what u feel toward them bc without accepting the possibility that u might reach muddy, nuanced, morally frustrating conclusions, theres no wiggle room to feel what u feel. But then u never get to feel the anger either. U cant understand things from either side bc once u start trying to sort everything into concrete moral categories, then ur not understanding individuals, ur defining variables, and everything becomes theoretical. I feel like thats part of the reason why when ppl put the expedition on the level of the subhuman, they often elevate the netsilik to the superhuman. Like ppl have a weirdly hard time conceptualizing that silna has complex motivations & is capable of developing complex relationships w other characters? Theyre just like "oh wow shes being so nice to goodsir, she must have stockholm syndrome or be wayyy too forgiving." Cus if u imagine franklins men as having one pure and self-contained nature that opposes the pure and self-contained nature of the netsilik, then theres no way they can genuinely interact. They can only touch each other under the guise of something else. Silna must not adequately understand goodsir's role in the fuckery ripping up her world. Which is ridonkulous to me bc her first interaction w him was when his party shot her father & then goodsir prevented him from dying on the ice. Like. She is not under any illusions that this man isnt part of the hurt and destruction. She just finds a way to care abt him anyway. Not bc she's some fountain of forgiveness, but bc despite the things she must hate about him, there are also things she loves. Same w crozier. Idk if she feels affection for him in the same way she does goodsir, but she def doesnt just save him bc shes a saint. She feels anger and bitterness just like any other person, and if she wanted to, she couldve left crozier to die like des voeux. Personally i think she saved him bc he was the only one left who had seen what she'd seen and she didnt wanna have to bear it alone but idk. She had her reasons. Anyway goodsir is literally a butch buttom so the wokes cant even get her. #She positionality on my moral puritanism til i absolve

kurt has had all of tw wet dreams in his entire life, the first one was when hed gotten sick and had some weird fever dream and the second one...

he couldnt even remember what the dream was about much less think right now. hed woken up panting and shaking, his cock straining painfully in his underwear. he whines as he starts remembering as the grogginess wears off, he thinks his dream may have been about some man pounding into him fast and hard like hes always wanted to be fucked, but when he looks over to his left and sees you, the guy his mom called over to babysit watch over him.

he definitely doesnt need a babysitter but his mom worries about him, shed forced him to stop doing his spree driving thing after hed had a little accident With one of his passengrs.

but as soon as kurt saw you, the very attractive guy who'd responded to his moms Facebook ad he relented, he choked on his tongue, the inly reason he stopped whining about it was because you were looking right at him, your gaze was dark and a little annoyed and sent blood straight down between his legs. you were frustrated for whatever reason and confused to see you were babysitting a literal grown adult but thankfully you stayed, you had tried to talk to him but kurt kept clamming up, your frustration only served to get him feeling hotter.

he dreamt about you forcing him onto his hands and knees and taking your frustration out on him, he dreamt about you degrading him for needing a babysitter, calling him a pathetic whiny baby. he was relieved to see that maybe you hadnt noticed, you looked absorbed in whatever movie was playing it looked violent, people being murdered and having sex on the screen, kurt couldn't really follow the plot as the aching between his legs grew harder and harder to just ignore, he hadnt realized he was palming himself through his pants until he hears you scoff,

"good dream?" kurt froze, youd heard him moaning and whining in his sleep, hed called out your name a few times and for some reason you werent disgusted or weirded out. kurt was cute albeit in an awkward sweaty way, but he thought you were grossed out and if the twitch his hand on his cock gave was any kind of sign you were sure he liked it that way. you listen to kurt splutter, his face getting redder and redder "you cant explain this away pervert" you sneer to give extra emphasis to the word and kurt honest to god moans, youd be lying if you said your own cock didnt twitch in interest. he was getting off on this and you were too

A/N i typed this out on my shit phone as soon as i woke up so excuse the poor spelling and wording, this is all i can manage for now i might write more later but who knows

[cyberdragoninfinity]

ok so multiple folks have been curious about dimensionswap AU fusion!yugo and like. What the Hell is Going On With Him so. here's a loose bit of a rundown of some of his. Things Going On 🙃 AMONG OTHER THINGS:

yeah so fusion!yugo is DEEPLY unsocialized animal. He, as is a running theme with the Fusion Dimension kids, is an atrociously lonely victim of the Academia War Cult, but with a dash of "Leo Akaba is scared of him and paranoid and has put extra effort into exerting his authority over him and keeping Yugo "contained."

(Leo actually tried to throw Yugo into the ocean when he was like 6 to kill him and it didn't work (Yugo's dragon saved him <3)

(Yugo doesn't remember that part though :[ )

He's spent most of his life being chronically ignored and kept away from other people, locked up in his dorm (or. cage. sometimes. 😬) or at the mercy of DA's questionable teaching staff. He's only really been allowed to 'play' with other kids if he's dueling them (especially when staff uses him as this sort of wild Academia boogeyman that students have to try to avoid in hunting game drills.) (there's a nonzero chance theyre kind of hoping he'll just get himself killed and save themselves a whole lot of trouble) Yugo doesn't really know how to interact with people beyond treating them like a game to win. He likes games. He's good at those!! :)

He's still got that sort of energetic competitive spirit and doofus blockhead energy of regular Yugo, but it's a lot quieter and toned down after years of..discipline from his teachers. There's also this sort of aggression and overconfidence to it. If he deems his opponent as not worth his time he'll barely give them his attention, ignoring them and fussing with his various games and puzzles instead. god fucking help you if fusion!yugo deems you 'boring' lol

he can see duel spirits and talks to his monsters <3 He considers them his closest friends.

in general his dragon's two main forms emulate two big elements of his character--Shattered Wing Fusion Dragon's wings are broken, and it can only drag itself across the ground to pursue opponents; Yugo's been 'grounded' by his circumstances and he's starting to chew his own leg off about it. He's going stir crazy. And then Shattered Wing's 'evolved' form, Perfect-Wing Fusion Dragon, has freaky radioactive uranium glass wings made of different mismatched chunks forcefully fused together--Yugo is kind of chasing perfection way more than he lets on; he thinks often if he was just a little Better, a Little More Perfect then maybe people will care about him. Maybe he can make DA properly proud. And he's willing to jam whatever square pegs into round holes he needs to to achieve it. He doesn't need anyone. He can do it all HIMSELF.

(fusing with the other yuboys is a terrifying prospect for him. to go from so so alone for so long to being absorbed into Never Being Alone Again. He never actually manages to absorb anyone himself but if he did it would probably be like Yuri in canon where the other yuboy just experiences complete ego death and Doesnt Exist Anymore.)

the shit that goes on in Fusion in this AU is a story for another time there's like 18 different things going on in there but Yugo does get the distinct good fortunate to get to kill Leo himself after the bastard tries to flee the arc reactor room and declan and the bgirls Get His Ass<3 W for yugo

postcanon dswap yugo makes me a little sicko insane he just makes me SAD. kid who still doesn't really know how to interact with people. kid who kind of isnt very sorry for any of the questionable shit he did (kid who cant even really wrap his head around how anything he did was 'wrong' anyway and is getting increasingly frustrated that people seem upset with him??! HE DIDNT DO ANYTHING :/) he ends up striking up a weird friendship with dennis as theyre the last two real 'soldiers of DA who dont know what to do with themselves now that the war is over and have trouble conceiving of themselves as "people." they hang out and play games and beat the shit out of each other like the world's dumbest fight club. do not get me started on them. <--*the only insane bitch invested in dennis and yugo friendship*

here's a baby fusion!yugo and shattered wing's card...he's been alone for a long time but thats ok. he has his friends in his deck :,) thats all he needs. he can take care of himself.

[mr-nauseam]

actually wanna hear more abt snowdew failson Hadrian bc I also have a snowdew failson oc called Augustus lmao???? In my mind snow really wanted a daughter and is sooo bitter that his firstborn was a boy. he thinks he sucks

Im scared of give Snow a daughter. Not wanna think what his mysoginistic toxic masc ass would do with one so I go by the idea he wanted a boy still HE THINKS HADRIAN SUCKS TOO SO TWINS!!!

Hadrian 🤝 Augustus (tho would love hear abt ur snowdew failson 💖 love all ur lore ideas

Humm. Hope Hadrians story not so weird but before go with why Snow hate his ass I need go with my view of Cardew - Snow marriage. I use to hc Livia as a mean lesbian but if I want go more canon compilant I go simply by straight but the thing is I believe she NEVER fall in love with that man. They got some hate sexual tension in college. I hc usually Livia go by study thinks of finances or administration and laws. Im usually torn in give Snow political sciences and laws grade but the thing is they end up sharing classes and its so fun bc one speak and the other already its 🙄 but then got very weird in their debates and they probably end up hooking up once.

After that they began to talk for real and kinda get along and I think they arranged the marriage thinking in themselves as business partners. They got a contract and everything. Its like they are evil besties (they understand each other bc of the mommy issues) but its NOT romantic and basically every one live their life and they are together when its neccessary. Social meetings and so which go very well for them until Snow began to fuck up things. He may not like Livia fr fr but his control ass cant deal with she doing her stuff without give him an exact report of what she do.

This get worst when Snow its doing his political career bc hes more annoying than ever about their REPUTATION, poor Livia suffering with the most insufferable man around. Their peace come when its time for the heir. Now I feel theres certain talk of how should born Hadrian. Like the old way or be a baby laboratory one.

I think they (especially Livia bc she not wanted be pregnant) liked the lab take but Hadrian will be in the end a "natural" one for political reasons (and Livia demand an insane list of stuff in exchange for that) which provoke the mess (that funfact. I think his name was chose by Livia. I adore the hc of Snow thinking terrible names like Crassus II and his partners going "u are idiot if u believe the baby will got an ugly name." He proposed Hadrianus in a LONG list of Snow names and Livia go for Hadrian form in specific bc she got the good taste shut up C*riolanus.

Not that Hadrian born its the mess, its his parents fighting and using him in the middle of their conflicts bc yeah in the end every reason why they cant stand each other come back to them (snow its so self absorbed + control crazy and livia basically stay as the person that dare to critic & roast him and demand be treat as a queen that you absolute should adore and bend on her will

And Hadrian gonna born with some type of albinism and while exist many types I def think for his case it carry all the usual inmunologic syndroms that can provoke (easy for him got bruises, infections, etc) the visual problems (strabism in particular) and in general all the thing of his need to avoid the sun as plague bc well his risks to ultraviolet exposition are bigger than usual and all of this pissed off Snow that got that complex of hate vulnerabity bc the thing is yes. He got a very vulnerable child.

So basically treat Hadrian as a defective good and Livia have her pride HURT. DEEPLY HURT. Bc how SNOW DARE SAY THAT SHIT. HOW HE DARE TO ACCUSE HER OF THAT. SHE DIDNT EVEN WANTED THE PREGNANCY, SHE FUCKING TOLD HIM THEY COULD GOT ONE IN A LAB.

Tho despite I dont visualize Livia as very maternal still thats her baby yk. So she may not like Hadrian as her son but she like Hadrian as her family (hope this made sense) and in general Snow acting like a bitch only create more issues.

I think Hadrian its a bit soft in his personality but no bc hes natural like that, but due to fear. In general Livia and Snow should get a divorce but firm the papers could affect the happy traditional fam imagen (which worry Snow) and Livia basically leave them behind but refuse sign the papers simply bc win more benefits staying marry (she can pop up say she would do the DIVORCE PUBLIC in court and Snow can scream she can, she can do whatever he will win it anyway and then send her an offer bc in reality its a damn coward that fear the scandal) and Livia want do it messy for Snow.

I think Snow can be an abusive partner (and he was dont get me wrong) but I always believe Cardew would got the bigger stick. Her family own the fucking most important Bank in Capitol, and Im sure as years passed shes the only that get more allies so Snow cant fuck with her in the same way he could with others and when Hadrian its like 8 maybe Im 100% she in practice leave behind her annoying husband and child.

Bc she may like Hadrian but ENOUGH to endure stay in that stupid mansion, she wouldnt sacrifice herself for the heir Snow whiny to get. She all Hadrians life going on and out, shes some months come pick him and then leave him with snow again. I joke thats shes in some loop of that audio of "go away baby" & "oh my baby"

So that leave Hadrian very much with Snow alone and I do believe hes pathetic enough that in abscent of made pay the witch he marry, he take it with Hadrian. Not help that objective I believe Hadrian got a lot of Livia, like they do sameee expressions, they laugh the same, Hadrian avoid it but he got that facility of cruelty, that be sturbbon as hell and get the talent for petty revengues lmao.

But too what I mention of fear its bc Snow to me its always dumb that want certain things while doing EVERYTHING to NOT GET WHAT HE WANT AND THEN COMPLAIN 😭 like u dont want hes quiet then dont go around asking he stay silent, u dont want hes a bit people pleasure then literal dont forces ur child to PLEASE YOU???

Snow def thinks Hadrian its a bit of a loser and he is but thats his fault like u scared away his friends??? Tho took decades but Hadrian grow up to be 🙄 abt Snow and treat him as a mad man lmaoo (the true come on let me take you to bed-) but at first he was very kind, sweet, and wanted BAD impress Snow and get his approval.

Then his father would be MAD if Hadrian fullfill his impossible standards and in particular was better than Snow in something like some scholar record. The contradict of show off like was his excellent raising what made Hadrian smart and special but not much. At least greater than President Snow YOU CANNOT BE.

That broke him lmao he was a very shy and quiet person that became Livia if she bite her tongue more often KSKSKDKSN

Extra random data:

> Hadrian never marry but got a baby! He has a daughter called Erinna (that in my hcs its in theory the name Coriolanus little sis should have) and its a lab baby.

> In his teen years live a brief model career cheered by his aunt and his mom. Give up bc he hated wear contacts and actually do model stuff 😭 he only do it bc liked spend time far from snow but get tired and first aggresive allergic reaction he got to some fabric, he used it as excuse to leave forever.

Tho theres the topic of get scared by be sexualixed as a minor by some adults and how people in Capitol would exotified him in his look considering the extreme fashion there. For Livia and Tigris sadness I believe he would grow up to be a bored dude in clothes bc again he got a whole trauma in random people telling he got a luxury look when he born without melanin and get ill. Fuck off what great compliment.

> I think he work in goverment. Maybe its srcretary of something.

>Theres 1 au where Hadrian get mad ENOUGH to Snow that ruin his reputation and managed he suffer public humillation. In a canon compilant I believe he probably die during the 2nd rebellion.

Also one of the few characters I name for a reason thats not just bc or for the laughs. So that Hadrian guy from Rome.

Hadrian spent the last moments of his life dictating verses addressed to his soul. According to the Historia Augusta, Hadrian composed the following poem shortly before his death:

Animula, vagula, blandula

Hospes comesque corporis

Quae nunc abibis in loca

Pallidula, rigida, nudula,

Nec, ut soles, dabis iocos.

Little soul, you charming little wanderer, my body’s guest and partner,

Where are you off to now?

Somewhere without colour, savage and bare;

Never again to share a joke.

From the great wikipedia bc Im lazy today. Sorry Nell.

go-busters 28-31, VS Beet Buster VS J, 32-40 & VS Gokaiger!!!!

my prayers have been answered

at last, things are happening in go-busters!!!!

and oh boy is it finally delivering on the promise it always had!!!

i dont necessarily like morphin moving go-busters as much as busters ready go, but i would be lying if i said i didnt start headbanging intensely in those first few bars

honestly? sprayloid 2? fun concept for a monster ability, if the episode wasn't doing other stuff they could have just had fun with that

episodes 29-30 are the hypest shit ever oh my GOD

the drama???

the action?????

the stakes????????

the stuff that's been teased for an excruciating length of time while nothing else was happening finally all paying off at once?????

the almost pyrrhic victory ending???????

PEAK

and just like that, i started really enjoying go-busters

great fun picking up on all the makuu space easter eggs in the gavan crossover

like the giant boulder???

and part of the conflict in the second episode being down to the differences in how the mechanics of the two shows interact? awesome

my friend is convinced yoko and shelly interacting is yuri, and like,,, hes not wrong

the special DVD is a great time too, honestly the base tour thing really works for a show as technical as go-busters, you get to really appreciate the detail in the world, and anything focusing around my love beet j stag is automatically good in my book

and then,,, the plot returns

and its structured in such a way that its basically forced to move forward every episode???

YES

i suspect that enter might not quite be seeking to resurrect messiah quite as he once was, given how pissed he was with him before,,,

the parallels aaaaaaaaa

im actually getting quite invested in the characters now,,,

damn, episode 34 hitting unexpectedly hard huh

not to me now dont get me wrong, but i kinda understand where jin is,,

and then we have lion episode!!!

they have a lion now, that's the episode

nick you dirty scab, the union is important, its about rights and dignity for all workers-

ok the stuff with yoko and her teacher was,,, sometimes kinda weird but the stuff with escape in episode 37 was good

episode 38 peak fiction

give me more giant robot fighting rings actually

in episode 39 ryuji gets punched in the face by a small child

it looks like the villain for the remainder of the show will be,,,, paraboloid 2!!!!

we regret to inform you paraboloid 2 is dead

also,,,, oh boy jin no not the being incomplete and throwing away your one chance at completion that's death clues!!!

also hey enter what did you absorb that card for,,,,?

enter,,,?

spit that out,,,,,,

anyway, gokaiger vs go-busters!!!

i honestly could not tell you half of what happens in this movie, because it has gokaiger in it, and i was focusing entirely on the fact that gokaiger are in it, and that is enough for me when its not a certain other movie that never happened

so yeah!!! excitedly getting into the final stretch!!! :DDD

[rukafais]

Ruka, I just wanna express my condolences for the Drizzt fandom being such a pain on here. Made me realize that I got lucky just finding the books randomly in a store and picking em up because they looked cool. Absolutely 0 background info or interaction with the fandom, just purely immersing myself in the series for weeks and sharing some highlights with friends. Hope the haters leave you alone and you can just keep enjoying the series for what it is.

Honestly that was close to my experience once I finally got to reading them and not just absorbing What People Knew About Them, I tore through all the books without looking them up at all or stepping into the fandom even a little bit haha, which means I got to get through them all without watching people dump on them near-constantly like Drizzt is the worst series ever made.

It's part of why I love them so much, because when I finally got to sit down and read the damn things my opinion completely reversed, that's how hard they won me over. The books are full of love for their characters, their setting, and are respectful of the reader's time, and I do love them for that.

Which, uh, was a double nasty surprise when I went to look for cute fanart and found a tag filled with weird circlejerking about how much everybody hates Drizzt and the author (what is with the weird fucking ad hominem btw, like you can't just say you don't like the writing style, the author is also responsible for everything wrong with drow and dnd).

Like I hadn't already absorbed a shit ton of jokes by osmosis about how Drizzt is a mopey bitch who's so sad and tragic and brooding and also found out that was...a total fucking lie actually, so it wasn't a great atmosphere to run into and did not endear me to a lot of the community here :/ It's improved massively of course, but the fact that intensely negative people have been running the show for as long as this site has existed is fucking dumb actually.

ALSO PEOPLE KEPT LEAVING SHITTY COMMENTS ON MY CUTE FANART POSTS IN THE TAGS WHICH WAS REALLY ANNOYING ACTUALLY I DIDNT LIKE THAT VERY MUCH. I ENJOY THAT PEOPLE ENJOYED MY EARLY FANART BUT I DID NOT ENJOY PEOPLE LEAVING DISPARAGING COMMENTS ABOUT HOW BOOKS I HADNT READ SUCKED.

But honestly it's fine. I can handle a few weird comments even if they annoy the hell out of me (and are often demonstratably completely wrong, like cmon if you're going to be an asshole at least be correct about the stuff you like), I don't like it when people leave weird comments on the stuff of people who are just starting or clearly enjoying the books because it's so out of pocket but all I can do is write or draw to counteract that effect and clean up the tag a little.

I feel worse for the people who have loved this series from childhood honestly. There's so much negativity surrounding Drizzt and I can't imagine how exhausting that must be to never have a place to talk about a series that means a lot to you because the general accepted opinion is that you hate it, the series sucks, and everyone is in some sort of bizarre love-hate orbit because The Author Loves Me Not and His Characters Are Wasted On Him, He's A Hack.

So yeah, hope you continue to enjoy yourself with it too anon :)b

[rollercoasterwords]

(this is from marxismlupinism btw just sending an anon cause still shadowbanned + dont want my r/s blog tied to my main blog anyway)

lmao if only my followers were your followers literally idk why my anons r so mad im just stating the established party line of the blog they chose to follow...

literally every online community ive been in youve been able to say you think the community has XYZ problem and people could discuss the problem and suggest solutions honestly baffling that peoples response to someone saying the hp fandom is transphobic is to go "no it's not" instead of, idk, either trying to make it less transphobic if you think it's salvageable or leaving it if you think it's unsalvageable. the only communities ik that would respond to an accusation of transphobia w denial rather than taking trans people's concerns seriously are, well, actually overtly explicitly transphobic communities lol... and the people claiming they "engage critically" are very clearly not if their response to criticism of the hp fandom is to be defensive—if you engage critically with something that means taking seriously good faith criticism of the thing you engage critically with. like i "engaged critically" w hp/rs for the past 2.5 years and i have never ever gotten defensive at someone criticising hp or its fandom (esp since like... almost all the people criticising hp or its fandom are trans and im not gonna go harass another trans person for being understandably upset at ppl engaging w transphobic media lol).

hp fans (including tme trans hp fans—and, btw, we're well aware there are some transmasculine hp fans, the rest of the trans community just think they suck and are losers lol and i can't imagine that the transmasc hp fans aren't aware of this fact unless they just dont interact w other trans people outside the hp fandom at all) will criticise hp and jkr while believing that the hp fandom itself is above criticism. this does the dual work of distancing themselves from harry potter/jkr, which even they cannot defend/pretend is not bad, while also absolving themselves of all responsibility for any transphobia & transmisogyny they perpetuate or engage in. it's honestly a deeply immature way of engaging with media as well as one that logically falls apart under any scrutiny—firstly, if you accept that hp and its author are deeply bigoted, isn't it just logical that its fanbase would share the politics of the source media? secondly, this is just empirically false lol. there didnt always used to be basically no trans women in the hp fandom—i myself used to be friends with several back in the old days—but most transfems left the fandom in 2020–2021 bc of jkr's increasing transmisogyny. and speak to any of the transfems who did leave at that time and they can tell you their firsthand experiences. like, i really dunno how you can claim the hp fandom isnt transmisogynistic without just outright saying that you think most trans women are crazy and making shit up when they say they dont want anything to do with hp or its fans.

anyway ill stop writing essays in ur inbox now rae xoxo love ya have a nice day!

hi laura <3 yeah truly i think it is so weird that someone would choose 2 follow a blog on tumblr.com which clearly states "i don't like hp/hp fandom" and then get mad when that blog makes a post saying. "i don't like hp/hp fandom." babe why r u at the criticizing hp fandom store if u don't want hp fandom criticism....

and yeah i've talked before on my blog abt how like. i do not think we can "separate" fandom from jkr + the inherent shittiness of hp + my personal stance is that i think if u are engaging with hp fandom in 2023 u should at least be prepared to acknowledge + address the fact that u are engaging w a fundamentally conservative piece of media that is rooted in horrible politics, bc if u don't fully understand how jkr's politics are steeped throughout the franchise then it is much more likely that u will just be. absorbing + perpetuating them.

i think something that gets left out of a lot of conversations abt jkr even when discussing how shitty she is within hp fandom is the fact that like. yeah she's broadly transphobic, but she is specifically transmisogynistic, and the politics + policies she endorses are most targeted + harmful towards trans women. in my personal experience thus far in hp fandom i've encountered a lot of tme trans people, and i think there can be this tendency to go "well i'm trans and i know so many trans people who have carved out a space in this fandom that is super affirming + positive for ourselves, so obviously there is no transphobia here" and like. bc of the strong emotional connection to what people view as a safe queer space it can feel like an attack or whatever when someone goes "ok but. have u considered transmisogyny." or just whenever someone is like. rude/mean/cunty in their criticism of hp--but like. tbh as tme trans people i just think it's more important to recognize that many other trans people (and especially tma trans people) have a reason for being rude/mean/cunty in their criticism of hp and even if it hurts ur feelings it's more important to actually think about where that critique is coming from then to get upset bc u feel like it wasn't phrased nicely. at the end of the day just bc a space feels safe 2 u does not mean it is going 2 feel safe 2 everyone!!

cough. idk if i explained how theo was brought back but basically . it was liam had the idea to bring theo back. hayden, his GIRLLLFRRIIIENND. was not on board. she used to be in his pack. anyway liam who literally almost killed scott ......... was like "we need something capable of absorbing a lightning bolt. or someone." and liam knew theo killed josh for his power. so he knows he could take a bolt of electricity. in theory he's risking a lot. (he needs someone to absorb lightning bc the ghost riders aka villain of the season travel on lightning and he wants to be able to capture one and then go from there.) he went to kira's mom and asked to bring him back. he was confused when kira's mom gave him the sword and said "youll have to do it yourself" bc he figured that she was gonna do it. and then she tells him "whatever happens...is your responsibility." hayden said she supported him in whatever but right before he put the sword in the ground where they left theo all those months ago, she said "WAIT" and he did it anyway and theo came from hell dirty and scared like a wild animal he IMMMEEEEDIATELY pins liam to a wall with his forearm on liam's throat. . listen. when i tell you he's looking around frantically and afraid its like they cant even talk to him. hayden is like "theo we're not trying to hurt you!" ans hes like . off somewhere. and he says "where's my sister?" <- in some weird growl because he is PETRIFIED RN. and they mistake theo's question for memory loss. liam says "your sister's dead. she died a long time ago." ans HAYDEN SAYS "you killed her ...remember?" hayden..... shut the fuck up. YOU DONT KNOW THAT.??? anyway and then theo says hes gonna kill liam and etc etc then liam holds out the sword as a obvious threat and theo backs off. says that they need his power to help them. AND THE DEAL ALWAYS WAS. THAT THEY USE THEO AND SEND HIM BACK. THAT THEO HELPS HIM AND HE GOES BACK. THATS HOW MUCH THEY HATE HIM. EVERY WRONG OR WEIRD THING HE DOES OR SAYS ANS SLMEONE SAYS "send him back" LIKE FUCKING CHILL GIVE HIM A MOMENT. anyway that was always the deal. but liam said "help us and you can kill whoever you want after. but if you kill US. then you're gonna be worse off than ever." <-ish. and theo says. "theres nothing worse than what ive been through." they do not respond or acknowledge that. do mind tho, liam treats theo with the most respect, more than anyone else does even tho he has good enough reasons to despise him. unlike hayden he recognized how scared he was. and didnt yell at him or accuse him of killing his sister. just said she died. anyway. so theres this contracption that they have able to hold all the jules or voltz of electricity in a lightning rod. they brought theo to it to TEST if he could handle a lightning bolt. liam tells him he can do it. he cant. he doesnt have  josh's power and he doesnt have tracy's power and hes back to classic theo. he thinks hes gonna get sent back by the way liam and hayden are talking so that mf starts going "hold hold hold on i can help" he has information on the ghost riders and he knows shit from the dread doctors and HE REMEMBERS STILES!!!!!! stiles got taken by the ghost riders and if you get taken you get erased from everyone's memory and basically reality. ans since he was in hell he . remembers him. and he also has exclusive information on the person liam ans hayden brought down with them to test the lightning. hes a science teacher at the high school. but in actuality, theo knows who he really is. i aint got time for all that rn. anyway liam lets him stay on account of knowing who stiles is and the fact he probably does know things.

imagine coming out of literal hell and some bitch is like "you killed your sister" babe one of us is going back down there and it won't be me

ive been revisiting adventure time (sort of. ive had it on while im doing stuff so im sort of absorbing it but ill pay more attention if i manage to get to stuff i havent seen) and i still love marshall and gumball but trying to understand fiona and cake is making my brain hurt

its written by ice king so like

- in the adventure time encyclopedia (which i havent finished reading but its fun) ice king describes ice queen as like his perfect soul mate, so she seems to be part “obviously my female self would be beautiful and everyone loves her because im handsome and lovable” and part “ice king designs his ideal waifu” so that part tracks. thats fine. but

- why did he design fiona like that. shes cute id like her as a standalone character but the fact that. well firstly that the show designers decided to give her a short skirt and curves when finn is drawn as like, a little playdoh man, is already Kinda Weird and looks like what a sexy finn halloween costume wouldve been if she didnt already exist. but then when we realize ice king designed her its even worse. and he makes fiona in love with him which is uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

its also very odd that ice king apparently chose to characterize fiona as like. more mature about crushes and relationships than finn is? she realizes she doesn’t need a boyfriend and doesnt actually want to date her male friends. finn doesnt figure that shit out for Ages if he ever does at all, i never finished the show. so why would ice king, a man who thinks relationships are just kidnapping someone and making them love you, write finn as a more emotionally mature and stable girl

- i love gumball and most of his weird characterization can be explained by. the fact that most of the episode he’s actually ice queen in disguise. but he still asks fiona out at the end and she decides she doesnt want to date him. bubblegum isnt and never has liked finn like that for the major reason that hes way too young for her. i never really noticed how obvious the age difference is when i was a kid myself but as an adult its like. yeah finn is a Child to her. maybe gumball’s relationship with fiona is off because ice king doesnt know them that well and invented his own interpretation but there is no way ice king ships bubblegum with finn. we also then have the issue of “this (at least) 18 year old just asked out a 13 year old” which, uh, not a good look either. but the fact that ice king still writes gumball as uninterested in ice queen but fiona is in love with ice king is just really fucking weird and i don’t understand it

- also yes the “gumball started taking off his shirt” thing was the ice queen revealing who she really was, it wasnt actually sexual and gumball himself didnt do that, but by the way fiona and cake reacted it was clearly written to come across like he was about to take her to bed. which is again, a problem that the show writers thought that was cool to include, and a Real problem if ice king wrote it intentionally

anyway all that was weird. i still like gumball and marshall though. i feel like it would have made more sense if LSP wrote it and not ice king

[raymend]

Unironically its insane that there was "if you dont wear your binder at all opportunities youre not really transmasc" discourse. like i dont even know how to describe how crazy and invasive that is to make assumptions based off of ones' willingness to put themselves through pain especially when like .. There's diminishing returns if you have a larger chest like some people do not consider it worth it especially when it IS relatively expensive AND painful

like also too how that happened literally alongside the weird ass misinformation campaign of like how you supposedly could ruin your chances to get top surgery from binding too much ... its literally so vile how absolutely toxic these communities were for kids trying to find their identity and how hopeless and dark they made it seem.

like i cant help but get mad at the adults who popularized this narrative and the isolation this kind of thinking created. its so messed up to tell that to 13 year olds figuring shit out for the first time who are already often extremely vulnerable and depressed its like. Okay so youre telling a depressed teenager that life doesnt get better and that you only deserve to transition is youre in horrific agonizing dysphoria 24/7.... like i dont know how you do that and be liek Ahaha look at me one of the good ones....

i also think too like back to the isolation piece.. when you are jumping down the throat of other trans people in a weak effort to be the most normal and valid and socially acceptable "one of the good ones" people obviously you cant empathize with people with different experiences from you... which in turn would have caused you to realize whats wrong with this kind of thinking in the first place.

idk. ive been thinking a lot about it recently because i feel like it still has its tendrils in me in terms of how i approach gender nonconformity + how like ashamed i used to feel for wanting to dress feminine sometimes lol now that im around trans people that are normal about this stuff BECAUSE they didnt absorb it im like Wow this did really bad stuff to my brain at a really tender time in my development and absolutely wrecked the friendships i had at the time with other trans people LOL

i think it's easy to look at it as an online discourse of yesteryear instead of like a genuinely harmful ideology that veryyyy much went along with other right wing/alt right rabbit hole shit. its really bad + the way that some people talk about it its clear to see that they don't see the genuine harm it caused/causes like. Guys i dont think this was a quirky phase i think you need to actually deconstruct your preconceived notions of the gender binary and abandon your obsession with optics in order to be normal about this for real

Mina fed her tiger regular cat food when it was a cub. the fuck

yeah no I'm not including battle tiger ownership if I do fic for Kaiju no. 8. I'm gonna replace that shit with a big fuckin dog and put battle armor and proper ear protection on it, I dont care if she's a cat person I'm not writing animal abuse also the artist doesnt know how to draw tigers. Like one look at a reference would tell you that tigers have round pupils not slits b/c big cat agin just this tiger looks so bad its face is so small and pinched the fuck

the tiger attempts to defend its owner

stop making me look at this terribly drawn tiger. Also wow imagine if the tiger wore protective gear that could have helped a little

yeah also what the fuck do you mean that the tiger is a failed kaiju. how does that happen? What are kaiju? also so it's ok for Mina to own a regenerating psychic tiger?

again the anatomy is so fucking bad on that cat. The terrible anatomy doesnt matter as much for the kaiju since they're monsters but the tiger is supposed to look like a tiger and this shit looks bad

its just this didnt need to be a fucking tiger. the exotic pet ownership is distracting and also the artist is bad at drawing tigers

huh there's a lot inside of no9

there's hundreds of beings human and kaiju assimilated inside no9 Mina is fighting her hardest to not get absorbed again, Mina if yer friendship with Kafka matters so much to you why did you decide to blame him and freeze him out? And then didnt have any meaningful talks with him until he got outed as a kaiju after he joined?

Kafka gets there in time to keep Mina from getting digested Kafka thanks and pets the tiger for helping

do you know how distracting it is that no8's design is different from chapter to chapter and even panel to panel at times. Its so weird like why are his horns curving outwards again near the tips? what color are his spines? roll the die he's also gotten a lot smoother instead of how craggy he used to be and lankier but I'm willing to believe that folks just dont feed him since he also has abs now in human form its also been a lot of back to back fighting. like a lot

for multiple volumes with not much breaks from fighting i can see why folks would find it a slog after a point no9 thinks humans are interesting and confusing and enjoys learning about them

yer not gonna get good data if you assimilate/devour/and kill all humans

ok yeah no9's age of kaiju is just what he wants and not representing any other kaiju's desires but his own

maybe if yall communicated more it would have been easier for yall to trust eachother in a fight

ugh, i dont think a person should apologize for not being able to do something but whatever let's get through this fucking fights its been goin on forever at this point

ah one of Kafka's aces up his sleeve, letting his kaiju side run wild for a little while

off screen training to use the inner beast

not standing on a chair to intimidate a tall person

oh hey kafka's claws and side spines are back

also letting out his kaiju side more allows Kafka to get bigger which narrows the size difference a bit.

also no9 has figured out the nature of Kafka's kaiju

shitty dad, already digested, comes back to ruin no9's day like a case of the runs. Lowering the shield protecting its core so Kafka can kill it

when a mfer is supposed to be dead b/c you destroyed his core but he goes 'hey let's have a chat'

the mask of teh samurai ghost that Kafka spotted at the shrine in no9's memories

no9 met Kafka's kaiju b4

no9 said no you won I'm dead I just had some questions but apparently yer human side and kaiju side arent connected enough to answer them

mfer with a dying monologue

ah no9 was something worse's can

kafka's kaiju has beef with whatever was hiding inside of no9 specifically

not this fucking fight having yet another phase

a ye olden kaiju that caused disaster in the 1800s? that either kafka or his kaiju fought in a past life

we get no9's backstory

no9 found out it could kill humans and things spiraled from there

the new monster is also magic and can cut things it looks at

this boss fight refuses to end. Yay the very hard to beat kaiju can now look at things and chop them up from a distance and also has so many fucking eyes

so either Mina dies next chap or is saved by plot armor

and just wow just the serial escalation

like i dont think this story is gonna do well post this arc given just how far the mangaka decided to escalate shit. I dont think the writing has teh chops to recover from over escalating

[away-ward]

"I have to laugh 🤣 He got trauma and he still didn’t understand. Sometimes you have to wonder if Will is too dumb for emmy or just so self absorbed that he doesn’t care about her enough 😭"

Oof anon, your comment on will's reaction to his trauma and emmy's abandonment was really harsh 😅 I have read KO's post about will and i agree with his pov on the whole situation. Willemmy was flawed and i love that in nightfall we finally got to see a couple that actually destroy each other, rather than stupid misunderstanding like in corrupt and killswitch. At least when pd said em's gonna be the bitchier ones among the girls, she delivered, and i was here for it! She wasn't fully innocent (unlike rika), i ate that up!! I dont understand why we gotta read dark romance, expect only the MMC to ruck up, and suddenly had to paint em as this innocent girl or woman or something, as if she did not had a fair share to will's ruin? Wasnt this what you hated about what pd did to rika and winter (Other than their appearance and dull characterisation)? Because rika and winter didn't fully deliver their bitchy roles, but were always said that they hurt michael and damon a lot. But finally when we meet emory and we saw her hurting will, we wanna change up her characterisation now? Weird.

Now, as much as i like damon and emory's bond, it still doesnt take away the fact that damon was never always the best "friend" to her, we only saw some crumbs of them here and there, but even then, there were more interpretation than outright declaraction of friendship about these two in canon. It also doesn't take away the fact that damon was a fucking piece of shit to everyone, especially to rika banks and winter, and til this day, i still don't understand why rika got more hate essays than damon. Because if i fucking catch that mf damon, he'd be finished frfr. Just on the basis of all the things he had said to rika alone, made him deserving of execution, now if we add up all of his sins with rika, winter, michael, kai and will, i hope he never gets any happy ending in whatever afterlife he was thrown in, lmao! I'm annoyed at rika, but i fucking hate damon, alright and the hate towards him is so lesser than rika's, why? He was more insufferable than her though? Lets increase the damon hate too, bring back those incompetent damon torrance slander, because we know he fckn need and deserve lots of them.

And did i memtion that i was the anon that gave the unpopular opinion? Yeah, alright. The anon that replied to me had missed a lot of my points, but thanks KO for the intervention, and yes, your interpretation of my ask was similar to what i originally thought when i posted that long ask. I also agree 100% with KO that if i was emmy, i wouldve ditched will forever and never return to Thunder Bay, granted that i wouldnt even hangout with people like the horsemen and i hope i never will. But like i said, i wasnt emmy, you're not emmy, we werent emmy, so i/you/we cant say exactly whats best for her tbh. We can only have headcanons to fix whatever things we wanna fix from canon, and things we wish pd wrote instead, so yes, that's why i said it's a fan's wish fulfillment, but we'll not always get what we want. When you insisted about how pd should write something, you almost sound like how will must have sounded to emmy when he kept urging her to do something even when she didnt owe him anything. That's the kind of entitlement that i was talking about. It wasnt a great feeling right? Yeaaaah. Sounds harsh but yeah sometimes we dont notice that we mirror the same behaviour we criticise. Basically atp, just write our own fanfics. In one corner of my head, im able to accept canon, but in the other corner of my head, willemmy exist happily in love and were only with their companies, there arr no martin, aydin, alex, damon, or even michael, or kai to get in between them. The willemmy in my delulu mind just live happily ever after, and always choose each other above eveyrthing else. Not because pd wrote so, but because im delusional af and cant fully accept canon HAHAHAH 🤣☠️ we just gotta laugh at the pain brothers and sisters 🤞 it really be like that here in pendouglas land. Once this series slowly dies out from my mind, imma ditch this series and move onto something else. Something more fun. Other than that, I dont have much else to add to the conversation though so im ending it here. Thank you for your replies on my original post KO, i like to hear your thoughts on them, i also dont have anything to reply to your roelies of my ask.

Good day ahead to you and everyone!

Hey! Happy to hear from you again. I was wondering if you were going to respond or disappear.

Willemmy was flawed and i love that in nightfall we finally got to see a couple that actually destroy each other,

This is true, but I hadn’t really framed it this way in my mind before.

I’d still place most of the blame on Will for making assumptions and going forward as if those assumptions were fact. But I’ve talked before how I don’t feel Emory is fully innocent, like you said. People are allowed to act on emotion and make mistakes. But just because we understand and sympathize with the way Emory behaved doesn’t mean it wasn’t wrong, doesn’t mean she didn’t let her pride get the in the way.

Just because a snake bites you in defense, doesn't mean you're not going to die from it.

I love Emory. I love her for not being completely collapsing in the face of everything that happened to her. For having passions, despite all her obstacles. I love her for being angry and mean. My heart hurts when she acts out of desperation, because I can understand her just wanting. But that doesn’t mean she didn’t mess up. And loving someone even though they’ve made mistakes and messed up and were mean, I think, is not something to be ashamed of.

She wasn't fully innocent (unlike rika), i ate that up!! I dont understand why we gotta read dark romance, expect only the MMC to ruck up, and suddenly had to paint em as this innocent girl or woman or something, as if she did not had a fair share to will's ruin?

What if we had a genderbent Willemmy?

Sorry. That’s not directly related to what you said, but comparing how we treat MMC and FMC, I wondered if we would still be just as angry with Will if he were Willow and if Emory were Emerson, or something.

it still doesnt take away the fact that damon was never always the best "friend" to her, we only saw some crumbs of them here and there, but even then, there were more interpretation than outright declaraction of friendship about these two in canon.

Oh yeah, absolutely. The idea of them having a strong friendship is all HC, inspired by the last gazebo scene in NF when Damon gave her the canister; that he kept it safe for her. I couldn’t help but wonder what his plan for it was. It seemed like such an unusual, thoughtful thing for him to do, and my imagination just flew from there. Him defending her before and them working together after everything added to that.

KO for the intervention, and yes, your interpretation of my ask was similar to what i originally thought when i posted that long ask.

Okay, good. Sometimes I’m taking a stab in the dark as to what people are saying. Happy that I at least got the gist of where you were going.

We can only have headcanons to fix whatever things we wanna fix from canon, and things we wish pd wrote instead, so yes, that's why i said it's a fan's wish fulfillment, but we'll not always get what we want. When you insisted about how pd should write something, you almost sound like how will must have sounded to emmy when he kept urging her to do something even when she didnt owe him anything.

Yeah, in a way I get what you’re saying. Whether or not PD told the story they wanted to tell or let other people influence them, PD doesn’t owe each and every fan exactly what they want. And PD’s not the first author who didn’t deliver on what they promised.

I will say that a lot of people are upset by how much the other characters took over NF, and I can’t argue with that. I felt the same. But at a certain point, I have to accept that PD’s ideas for the character are not the same as mine, and that’s okay. They created the characters, and they own them, but they also haven’t stopped us from creating our own reality with them. In fact, on their website in that FAQ, they all but encourage us to continue living in the world as long as we want, telling ourselves the stories we want. They're not gatekeeping the characters.

In one corner of my head, im able to accept canon, but in the other corner of my head, willemmy exist happily in love and were only with their companies, there arr no martin, aydin, alex, damon, or even michael, or kai to get in between them. The willemmy in my delulu mind just live happily ever after, and always choose each other above eveyrthing else. Not because pd wrote so, but because im delusional af and cant fully accept canon

This is exactly how I approach Willemmy too! I never needed the author to tell me explicitly what happened to them because I just… filled it in myself?

Yeah, and maybe it is delulu of me. But I’m happy with it.

Once this series slowly dies out from my mind, imma ditch this series and move onto something else

I hope you escape the DN brain rot soon. If you don’t reach out again, it was nice speaking with you, and I hope your next fixation is fun, whatever it is.

-KO

trying to watch the last mca episode to try and understand the one and only existing kagepro route with a good ending that is actually 'written out' and am trying so hard to not throw up from laughter like ohhhhhh myy god. oh my god. the animation is so janky. the budget is at its wit's end. I FORGOT KONOHA/KUROHA SOMETIMES GETS ON ALL FOURS.... FOR SOME REASON........ also everything is so fast im throwing up. cuz in like. 90 seconds, ayano randomly shows up, HARUKA IS ABLE TO COMMUNICATE.. FROM THE DAZE?, ayano projects the timelines onto mary, and mary swallows up the world. yes.

^WHAT IM ALSO SAYING....... i dont think that ever gets fucking explained??? HOW DID THEY LEAVE THE DAZE???

anyways um. so it seems like at first the power of friendship stalled saeru (so weird to not refer to him as kuroha lol), power of friendship being mekakushi dan minus shintaro and konoha (duh) telling mary to not reset the timeline, even tho their snakes were taken away.... and that should kill them... but WHATEVER i guess. and then the whole ayano shebang happens uh.... let me toss the rest of this ruminating into a read more

ok so the ending is Somewhat Coherent if youre like me, aka already has context for how kagepro and it's routes work in general (which 14(?) year old me who first watched mca didnt possess hence did not understand it at all).

and so it seems like jin did write out a coherent ending, but that the pacing and visual language was so insane that it ended up being incomprehensible. pacing and visual language is likely like that bc a.) jin did not supervise it or b.) jin did not have the visual artistry skills to sufficiently supervise it. same outcome either way. you can tell this was written out by jin bc there are many jin-esque lines like there:

anyways so the ending essentially is..... - shintaro is 'killed' earlier (just enters the daze, basically) (also i dont remember how he dies in this route. whatever lets ignore that) - he reunites w ayano yayyy - meanwhile mekakushi dan tries to stop saeru - mekakushi dan excluding mary gets fatally incapacitated by saeru - but they dont die. but their snakes gets absorbed by mary. but theyre still able to convey The Power Of Friendship to mary thru speech so like... eh whatever 🤷 - this stalls mary from resetting the timeline which allows ayano and shintaro to show up Out Of Nowhere. shintaro's power of Remembering Every Timeline and ayano's power of Projecting The Thoughts Of People Onto Other People combine so they can project the memory of every timeline onto mary. haruka is also able to shit talk on saeru during these 5 seconds somehow too bc uh...... idk? - with mary remembering every timeline, she decides to swallow the whole world (or maybe just the whole room) into the daze, and refuses to reset the world. so now all the dying mekakushi dan + kenjirou + shinaya + saeru are in the daze - with kenjirou in the daze, he is able to see ayaka one last time. this grants kenjirou's wish, and saeru, whose only able to manifest and exist when he is granting a person's wish, then begins to fade away. - begging to not disappear, he asks for anyone else to make a wish. konoha is some astral projection world then wishes to save hiyori. saeru is unable to think of some devious way to make saving a person into some convoluted timeloop, and so hiyori is rescued from the daze, and saeru disappears. - mary gets to see shion again (?!?!?) and they have heart-felt conversation.

and this all happens in like... FOUR MINUTES???? i wish i was exaggerating but no all this shit just happens rly quickly in 4-ish minutes. goddamn. anyways right after this is a cutaway to The Future where everybody is alive.... yeah...... how does ayano and haruka escape the daze? does everyone still have their snakes? if they dont, how did they survive? why did mary decide to conveniently swallow them all into the daze? WHAT HAPPENS TO AZAMI? well that never gets explained. anyways this is the ONE (1!!!!!!) and only "good" route we have that like. actually gets from point a to point b instead of just, randomly existing (looking at you summertime record song route and lost day hour one shot manga). yeahh..... what the hell 🤣😭
