#and the overall plot wtf bro

[buttercup12233]

Alastor is such a Gary stu that wants everybody to know that he's "sCaRy" because he can have black eyes and red pupils, turn big, and shoot out tentacles. Like bro. That's not creepy. And most of his lines fucking suck. How does he know about modern slang? Didn't this guy die during the great fucking depression? Not to mention, this guy swears a whole lot. It would've been perfect if the only time he ever swore was when his staff got broken apart. That would've really shocked the audience. I wouldn't mind him saying "fuck" a few times, but when that shit becomes a common thing, that's a problem. Swearing wasn't common in the 1900's. So why is Alastor using it on a daily basis. He no longer stands out from the cast. He's just another edge lord. He says the most corniest lines too like omg everytime he says ONE embarrassing word, I have to pause from watching the show bc the guy gives me second hand embarrassment. He's trying so hard to be terrifying that it's not working. For some reason, Alastor just wants power.... I'm not sure if it was planned from the start, but the execution is dog shit in my opinion. Pilot Alastor was done better than this. The reason why pilot Alastor was so creepy and overall an amazing character, at least in my opinion, was because you didn't really know exactly how he was feeling, or what was going on inside his head. The whole point of him volunteering to 'help' Charlie run the hotel was that he could see sinners fail and give himself some entertainment. He even flat out admits it in the pilot. But then you just have that gut feeling that there's something more going on with Alastor. That he's probably planning something else than just finding entertainment. Let the 'him wanting power' be like a b plot if THAT was the case (explain why he even wants power too bc if he just WANTS it for the sake of it, then that's boring). And I think what was the most exciting thing about his character, was that he was mysterious. Notice how the only times he EVER used his power or lost his cool was when Angel Dust claimed that he could suck his dick, or when Sir Pentious interrupted his song and threatened to literally hurt him. I swear, this guy used his title as the radio demon for times when it was appropriate. That's what I loved about Pilot Al. He wasn't trying to be creepy unless it was needed. In this show, he desperately wants people to fear him. He even tries to pick a fight with everybody, even the ones who are kind to him. He's a complete asshole and a dickhead. And I'm just like "boo, fucking corny, bitch". Idk, man. It's pro just me. But I hate Alastor so goddamn fucking much. At least in the show. He gives me headaches, he's a Gary stu, and I can't believe this mf got away with talking trash to the KING OF HELL like holy SHIT. Why didn't his ass get humbled at the moment there? He just got freewill the whole time during season one without consequences. Besides Adam tearing his ass up.

Alastor is just so- ugh.

I beg for you guys to let me know if some of my points were invalid. I would actively listen to them. I was just in rage the whole entire time while writing this, so my mind was just clouded with 'wtf happened to the cool guy I once loved' and just...RAAAAAH. so please don't hesitate to speak out. I'm aware that not EVERYBODY will agree with what I say. But it's great to hear y'all's opinions about this. Thank you.

We got baby/childhood panel of Daniel, Jake, Zack, Johan, and recently Gun.

I can't stop think on how cute and chubby baby Gun is lol

Lookism 520 spoiler!

Lol. This feels very duality of man. Baby Gun coming out with UI made me lol.

Ok, gather round for Ramyeon's retelling of chapter 520.

So PTJ, with his fondness for SAD backstories cooked up one for Gun. And while it's not terrible and I didn't get food poisoning, it's tasting a bit bland because everyone is getting a SAD backstory and it's getting old y'know?

Onto the chapter-

Everyone is in love with Daddy Yamazaki, and for some reason that is bad and all the ladies chop their pinkies off to idk repent for their sins or something but even though the relationship appears to be consensual because he's had sex consensually with them all, it's still the women's fault.

In the end, the great big kind man that Daddy Yamazaki is lets them all carry his kids. Thank the heavens.

Daddy Yamazaki has Smaller Bro Yamazaki who also has a son btw (Haruto) - this is sort of important but it's hard to really feel much for them cos the son character (Haruto) has just been introduced in this chapter and will be likely killed off soon.

Anyway, I digress.

All the babies born are unimpressive so far. And you may think wtf how are babies unimpressive. Babies are just babies. Well, that's because Gun comes whooshing out the (Korean) womb with UI. Bro has built in UI from the start, kinda an impossible standard to reach so fine I get why the other babies are unimpressive.

Although if all the babies are unimpressive apart from Gun, the common denominator here is Daddy Yamazaki so maybe everyone should point the finger at him instead. Hmmm.

The chapter fast forwards to show Gun is a prodigy, he masters his training. He's only five and a kid, so he plays around with his friend but gets slapped by his mother for being a kid because it's not becoming of a future gang leader.

So even though he's FIVE, he still gets told to 'act accordingly' lol.

I think there's another timeskip, or PTJ really has lost the plot and forgotten what five year olds look like (tbh he has forgotten what 'elementary school' aged kids look like too) and Gun, genius that he is and following his mother's words takes down all the gangs in ONE DAY. WHEW.

But, PTJ is trying to desperately show it's nurture not nature. Gun wanted normal things but has been moulded to become a monster.

Gun's mother praises him for his violence and his deeds, and Gun wonders 'Huh, if mother dearest loves when I fight, and I must fight to be loved, what happens if I'm violent towards her?'. He punches her and gets praised for it.

Please see above point.

And another fast forward in time (presumably) to Gun trying to squish butterflies like the maniac he is.

Anyway, remember Smaller Bro Yamazaki's kid, Haruto, that was mentioned? Well he's the only one throughout that looked at Gun as if he was normal and told Gun he was free to do as he wants. He doesn't have to fight. Or have to be a leader if he doesn't wanna.

And sweet lil Gun doesn't really wanna, so he makes up his mind and tells Smaller Bro Yamazaki.

Smaller Bro Yamazaki loses his shit and is all who the fuck told you this nonsense. Gun snitches on Haruto, and this snitch doesn't get stitches and instead Haruto does when Smaller Bro Yamazaki tells Gun to kill Haruto. His own father tells Gun to kill HIS kid!

Dun dun dun CLIFFHANGER!

Overall very sad, very unfortunate. But please see my first point about PTJ's cooking.

I'm assuming in the coming chapters Haruto gets killed off. I would be super surprised if he doesn't because Gun, despite me being delusional and thinking he's just a sweet lil blorbo, is something of a murderous psychopath. It's more fitting of his character if he just kills off Haruto even if he has a moment of hesitation or any regrets.

Hope that helps!

overall: finally some good fucking writing! rough, unique case that was compelling and paced well, plus a handful of solid character/story scenes that weren't just about plot advancement!! i'm really feeling the short season 10-hour movie phenomenon with s18 in particular, so i think it'll be interesting to see how it plays as a complete unit. (see what i did there?) i think this is my fave ep so far, first one i’ve really enjoyed. couldn't have anything to do with ratio and quality of emily screentime, that would never happen. 😘

[kimaratomoya]

I know I don't follow you but like- Maybe an Analysis on Oscar? Idk he's just one of my favorite characters =]

Out of Stock deep dive for @namedoggo (still finding it super awesome that a fellow Faz Frights fanfiction writer who I love is asking me for analysis!!!) because they asked for Isaac and Raj too at a later date!!

THIS WAS DONE WITH THE ACTUAL BOOK!!! NOT THE GRAPHIC NOVEL!!! I AM USING THE ORIGINAL INFORMATION!!!

Also I'm so sorry for the delay my motivation suddenly spiked so here ya go!!!

Oscar Avila:

Our main protagonist of the story!

Basic info:

- Pretty broke family

- Lost his dad at a young age to an infection

- Helps his mom at the Royal Oaks Nursing Home

- Likes Freddy's

- Has the nickname "Little Man"

- Loves his mom

- Wrong thing right reason

- Decent sense of fairness/justice

- Really good friends - Honestly like they are super cool and he does recognise it a few times

He seems like a good enough kid, with some wonky morals, but a good heart. He genuinely does love his friends, even if it's hard to see. He loves his mom too, and tried to be there for her, but he also needs a childhood. He's trying his best and the book seems to be his breaking point. Oscar is one of those characters you feel bad for, and can sympathize with, but still kinda looks at and be like "bro??? What the fuck???"

A bit more in depth:

- Feels like his childhood was stolen

- Often says he has "almost" of stuff he wants/strived for

- Has a decent relationship with Mr. Devereaux

He's just a little guy with a lot of issues. He often overlooks that his friends are really good and they aren't an "almost". He says almost for a lot of things, and lists about the baseball and getting a phone, etc. He's still a good kid, just a bit misguided, especially with his father's death and how he feels like he lost his childhood to help his mom and be the "man of he house". Mr. Devereaux seems like the "wise sage" (looney) of the story, but he's trying his best and Oscar doesn't appreciate him, but I feel like a lot of people wouldn't, but he still seems to like being around him for a bit. He just wants something for himself because he seems to believe that everything is just out of his reach.

Raj:

- Good guy

- Weird mom

- Honestly kinda chill

- Blunt and direct (Very Cool)

- Seems like the reasonable one

Honestly he doesn't get too much development, but it's clear he's the a chill guy. Seems like the smart/reasonable one of the group. Does have a very weird mom though and I do want to mention that because wtf is she on?? Her punishment for the sister is insane.

Isaac:

- Has a brother

- Tbh seems like a good guy

- Again there's not a lot on him

- A tad bit dumb compared to the others

- Easier to get a bit spooked

Ok so I don't like Isaac as much as Raj, more because he seems a bit dense, but he's still a good friend. He risks it for his buddy and, while not quite registering when Oscar gets electrocuted, seems like he does love his friends.

Overall:

They are great friends and it's good to see such a good bond in the FNaF books. They are honestly great people, of not a bit young and misguided, but they tried their darndest. They also are one of the few books with all main characters surviving so congrats.

I do however have to point out that they are sophomores, which is around 15-16, and I have noticed a LOT of ship content for a pair, or all three of them. I understand that they are a few of the most known characters, mostly from people not reading the full series, but please refrain from shipping minors, at least when interacting with this post, as they are not a canon ship.

I try to keep all my AU stuff out of the way so this is all based on actual plot points from the book.

[EDITTED BECAUSE I COULDN'T FIND THE AGE AND NOW HAVE IT, THANKS NAMEDOGGO!!]

[amazingmsme]

do you have hcs (tkl related or not) for Ruth and Richie? they’re such an underrated duo!

Omg I love these dorks sooo much! They’re such a dynamic duo ok, they’re a package deal!

I feel like they probably met when they were really young & both were lonely & in need of a friend. Like walk up on the playground “you wanna be friends?” “Yeah!” type of deal

Ruth was lowkey worried Richie wouldn’t be her friend anymore when he started hanging out with Pete but she realized she didn’t have to worry

As kids they’d play wild make believe games with game of thrones level plot

Ruth lowkey has a crush on Richie but she lowkey has a crush on everyone she’s so FUCKING thirsty

Just because they’re besties doesn’t mean they don’t fight like cats & dogs about anything they can think of ok it’s like a sport for them

Even tho Richie has been dubbed most ticklish he still manages to wreck her way more than she does. He’s overall more bold than she is, especially once Max was gone & he got a confidence boost. He just loves to sneak attack & she day dreams a LOT so she never sees it coming. & it’s so cute because later she’ll try to get him back & has to try & talk herself up to do it but then she gets nervous he’s just gonna flip it back on her & she backs out. She has to wait until the perfect moment is gifted to her

Ruth is much more of an opportunistic, spur of the moment type of ler, so she’ll get him when he’s stretching or trying to reach for something. Lord help him if he gets stuck in his hoodie & she’s anywhere near

She’s absolutely the reason why the football team found out he’s ticklish. He was in his mascot uniform & reached up to take off the head & she tickled under his arms & he actually screamed. & now they’re all very interested & this is Ruth’s first real chance to actually TALK to the football team so of course she’s throwing Richie’s ass under the bus!

She’s a thoughtful friend tho so she makes sure to warn them about his asthma & to “take breaks if they really wanna have fun with it” & Richie wants to kill her because wtf that’s his fucking scapegoat & she took that away too!

So some time later he manages to rope Kyle & Jason into helping with his revenge. (He guilt trips them into it & says it’s the least they could do for him after ganging up on him & that they’re a team now & teams stick together fucking bro pack mentality)

He literally plans it out & they come up to them while they’re talking in the hall during a free period or something & “thank” her for the useful information & she’s all blushy & stuttery like “o-oh you’re welcome! I-it was no problem, really” & Kyle’s like “that’s why we’d like to return the favor 😊” & she’s just like “w-what?” all confused & Jason kinda feels bad for what they’re about to do (not really tho) so he’s like “sorry, but Richie sold you out” & before he’s even finished talking Kyle already has her trapped in a hug & before she can even try to beg or talk her way out of this she’s laughing. & she’s freaking tf out because it’s so much physical attention from hot guys but at the same time she feels like she wants to crawl out of her skin, crawl under a rock & die. Hands down the most flustered she’s ever been in her fucking life, she couldn’t function normally for the rest of the day!

During movie nights, they argue about what they should watch & then end up snuggling together on the couch 15 minutes later. At some point during the movie a tickle fight WILL break out

Ruth doesn’t like pickles, so Richie is the one to take them when they’re on her food

She doesn’t really like sour things in general very much, meanwhile Richie loves them! He’s pulled a few pranks on her with extreme sour candy & she falls for it every time & she pouts about it til he apologizes

That’s all I got for now, but I absolutely adore them!

[chompmon]

I also just finished ch3 and man. It has some absolutely incredible building blocks that just werent used well.

A city that used to be ruled by a violent dictator(s), that went through some horrible things in quite recent memory, suddenly being liberated and left to build itself back up.... then some guy gives everyone the happiness and reassurance they desperately crave, ofc they re gonna adore him, who cares he's obviously spouting some vague cult bullshit?

You bring Yo in here, who's speedrunning almost every trauma imaginable and is overall doing very bad, the perfect target to be brainwashed by someone like Magata, who of course manages to soothe him and promise him exactly what he wants to hear.

You add the previous leader also coming back- fighting against this cult leader thats taken over the city, but of course, how could anyone forgive what ojiro did?

Magata not being "evil" really, just deeply interested in his research to the point he seems insane, to the point of- yknow, death. The cult leader isnt even doing this for any sort of power. He's not even experimenting on real people (anymore). A complete lack of care for what the AI hologram he left behind could do in his absence. It was a means to an end- and its not like you'll ever speak with the real Magata. He's dead. What's left behind is an empty husk with no real thoughts, feelings of ideas of his own.

These cool ideas combined-- brought down by the following:

1. You don't get a real sense of the danger that a cult-like figure like Magata can bring. The city is a bit creepy with the obsession with stteaming and magata himself, but its like, whatever. Most people are chillin. Most arent turning to crime or living in trash piles like in minato just to survive another day, or afraid of being literally executed like in shinagawa. We have no real reason to be horrified of Magata's existence and the effect he has had on neo chiyoda.

2. Nobody even entertains the idea of hearing Magata out, only Yo... and nobody wants to hear Yo out, either. Relating to point 1, we have no reason to be like "magata is dangerous and yo isn't thinking straight we need to save him" Cuz.... bro just said "we dont gotta fight we can work together" and that sounds perfectly reasonable. By the end we know he's an empty chatbot not worth listening to, and it's more obvious if you'e someone like Kazuki for example, but for the vast majority of thr chapter we didnt KNOW that. Hear the guy out

3. Q lowkey acting like he has any right to ask the city to accept him as their leader again. Honestly, the whole plot with the otori remnants being ostracised- no shit? I d hate the guys "just doing their job" in nazi germany times too like come the fuck on. I just think this is a poorly tackled topic, even tho i do like the base of Q facing his past and doing what he can to atone.

4. Yea Magata turning out half baked. I love his concept, he takes u by surprise the moment he opens his mouth, what with his soothing grandpa voice- but he's not treated with any nuance which kills any intrigue he couldve brought. I dont think the focus shouldve been on magata himself, rather what a figure like magata (ai or not) can do for a city like chiyoda. The way people cling to shallow hope, and how you can break a society out of that cycle. How you can encourage trusting eachother, not relying on a leader figure- frankly when q went "listen to me dont listen to him" (or smn) i got frustrated. No! The answer isnt to have a new "better" leader to answer to! Its self governance bitch!!

Then there s smaller things like Miu being there but wtf did she even do to justify her presence (please i need miu content i love her) saigo and enoki also being there but meh (they couldve really brough something new to the conversation of self governance and living through hard times, so the people of neo chiyoda could see how different cities live. They used to be kinda secluded before anyway, now even more so), the siblings not really giving me as much otori lore as i wanted (they were ojiro s servants, but how? Why? Why are they so devoted even after what ojiro did? Did they talk it out? Were they also kidnapped as kids, like kazuki and ojiro? What do they think of the previous leader? Etc)

Anyway yea obsessed with what this chapter couldve been

About Sonic 3

I know I said I’d talk about Doja Cat, but that can wait.

So I went to see Sonic 3 in theaters with my gf yesterday. I have a few things to say about it here. My first impression of it was CG5 on his shorts tab like “I’m bouta go see sonic 3! =D” and then it cuts to him utterly flabbergasted. I liked it, but it wasn’t THAT good. 

After I saw it I texted the homie BakedToast and he said “Was it good? Yes it was, you don’t need to answer that.” and I was like “It was fine, Jim Carey was good.” and then he lost his mind over me saying it was just fine. Sonic fans are wild.

I’ll go ahead and go over the acting since I’ve already mentioned Jim Carey. He was GREAT. I think that he was the best part of the movie, as usual. The 4th wall joke he did was my favorite joke. Having two Jim Carey’s was the best Christmas gift. 

The first scene where Shadow spoke I did NOT like Keanu Reeves. I know that he’s a national treasure and all that, but he doesn’t have much acting range. With that being said, after I got over the fact that all I could imagine when Shadow was speaking was Keanu Reeves, I was able to enjoy the movie. Despite him not having much acting range, I think that he fits Shadow really well. 

They’re really the only two actors I cared about, but right before the movie started three actors came on screen like “Thanks for coming to see sonic 3, we appreciate it!” and two of the actors were the ones who play Tom and Maddie, but I didn’t recognize the third one. My gf was like “That’s Blake Roman!” I doubt it was Blake Roman, but she was very sure it was. Was he in the movie? 

I mentioned CG5 earlier. I couldn’t take the plot seriously at all, especially Shadow’s parts. I would either be cheering over the little girl dying (Kwite reference), laughing at Keanu’s voice, or saying “Is bro gonna find Maria?” CG5 has given me severe brain rot. I made a video about Finding Maria. I might have said that I’d make part 2 once it came out, but tbh I don’t feel like doing that. 

I have to talk about the plot too, it literally shows up in a helicopter in the middle of a conversation. Wtf? They could have wasted just a little bit more time getting to the point. Agents show up like “Hey. This alien is terrorizing Japan, come fix shit.” and then team Sonic is like “Oh okay” and then they get in the helicopter. Gang what? No hesitation? No prep time? Damn. I like how Shadow was handled though, after the sudden exposition I’d say the pacing worked well.

One more thing, the comedy. Jim Carey was good, his jokes were funny, but come on, it’s Jim Carey. I might be a little too old for the jokes. It is a kid’s movie, but why can’t kids movies have good jokes too? I’d say that about half of them were. Most of everything Sonic said was lame, but he had a few funny lines. I don’t remember most of them though. Either I have a shitty memory, or the movie had shitty comedy.

Actually, the “Konichi-what?” thing made me want to blow my brains out. 

That’s about all I have to say here. Do I think you should watch the movie? Yeah, but only if you’ve seen the other 2. This one ended on a cliffhanger, but don’t bother watching a fourth one if it comes out, because Jim Carey said that he will not be in it. Therefore, yucky. Overall, Sonic 3 is anywhere from a 6/10 - 8/10.

Happy New Year's eve! Hope you have an original New Year’s resolution, because I don’t. I don’t have one at all.

[mysticmoosenger]

my thoughts on Nana, a bit over halfway through.

i’m on episode 36 and so far its been a really great, more serious show. it got my roommate who doesnt watch anime sitting in the living room with me, heavily intrigued with nana and ren. It’s strong points for me were def:

art style and fashion

vivienne westwood

alternative lifestyle

nana and hachi’s dynamic

shin’s character

I absolutely loved the first bit of this show. The friendship dynamics and silly hachi moments, the small storylines, the band starting out. The characters are all pretty well developed and I adore the art style and character designs. Also, reira’s english VA is amazing.

now to the things I am not too thrilled about:

The show has some little things that im not really into though too. The entire start of the show I had really zero issues with. Its just a personal ick of mine when a main character gets pregnant. I understand the point of it with hachi’s character, but I still am annoyed with it. I feel like I was expecting a different overall vibe from the show from the first few episodes. Nearly halfway through hachi gets pregnant so now its hard to not just associate the show with that. Hopefully it is used well in the plot later on. It’s losing me bc of these:

Fuck takumi. hate this guy. i hate when he’s on the screen.

Lowkey annoyed with hachi. But tbh, I get it. her experience is valid but I get annoyed with her because thats def not what I’d be doing if i was in her position. like girl bffr. you had nobuo. wtf.

Yasu cannot catch a break at all bro. Man is being such an emotional crutch to half the cast that he doesnt get a chance to breathe. I feel like other that his job and stuff we dont know much about him yet, unless I missed something.

Watching deadwater fell for the first time… wish me luck

I’m going to update this one post as I go through so I don’t have to keep rebloging myself ahah

———————————————

Please he was so cute with the kids in the flashbacks…

————————————————

Are the injections something to do with the fertility injections?? Like did someone do something to them

————————————————

BRO I KNEW TOM AND JESS WHERE FUCKING

————————————————

What do you mean the kids where already dead????

Did Tom kill his kids are wife coz he wanted to be with Jess?????

Wtf is happening

————————————————

The three little coffins…

————————————————

ARE JESS AND KATE ABOUT TO FUCK ASWELL??

————————————————

Okay nvm they diddnt

————————————————

I’m so confused I have no idea what’s going on anymore

————————————————

BRO TOM IS SO TERRIFYING WTF

IVE NEVER BEEN MORE SCARED OF A DAVID CHARACTER. Not even Killgrave is this scary.

————————————————

Wait the mum was in the woods not Tom?!?!

————————————————

Oh Tom you little bitch

————————————————

I feel like 95% of the plot is told through subtext and I cba with figuring out these peoples codes right now

————————————————

Wait so bike boy gave a fake statement?!

————————————————

Just starting the 4th episode: I feel like nothing has happened since the first 20 mins and yet so much has happened

————————————————

David Tennant characters 🤝 tragic backstories

————————————————

Ok nvm no tragic backstory- just a psychopath character

————————————————

HELP WHY DID HE JUST MAKE EYE CONTACT WITH ME GDIENDBDK

————————————————

Ok I finished it. That was a rollercoaster. I think what makes Tom so scary is that he looks and acts just like any normal person from an outsiders perspective.

I will say that some of the shots and metaphors used in the show where great but some of the actual storytelling was questionable, most of the time I diddnt know what was going on as they diddnt really explain what was happening properly. But that may have just been me.

Despite this if talking about the story on paper it really is quite strong and pretty scary I just think it could have been executed a bit better overall

[noahrmal]

so iiii am really excited to get started so i wanted to put some more solidified plot ideas down below to maybe kickstart the process! but please reach out to me if any of these appeal to you OR if you want to discuss something else! (my disc is thegongoozler!)

your muse is also from an affluent family & perhaps their parent(s) are friends with/know noah's dad and try to set them up for image reasons (this would probably be limited to women for romantically set up, men for platonically set up to be bros; noah is bi but his dad certainly isn't aware of or encouraging that). do they play along? do they hate each other? do they rebel? etc. this could have been a past/high school thing or a present thing!

kind of a funny idea that just occurred to me but if they tried to do a friend set up with another Rich Son and they started hooking up....... their parents like "no not like that"

moving on... maybe your muse goes to the same university as noah present day? just bumping into each other in class or something like oh wtf i know you actually... did they like each other? did they hate each other? fully possible that noah was a bully to them lmao... or maybe they were on his good side? (they don't have to also go to university; perhaps they just frequent a cafe on campus or something.)

your muse was a frequent attender of the ragers noah would throw in high school at his house. maybe your muse and noah both saw something they shouldn't have seen between other muses or hs npcs and bonded over this/trying to figure out wtf to do about it.

or maybe they caught noah (or he caught them) in a vulnerable situation--emotions fueled by drugs or alcohol, seeing a partner cheating, you name it--and the follow through thereafter (weird heart to heart? panic in your muses chest that noah kim now has dirt on them? realizing that he's kind of a decent guy one-on-one? maybe it's a good thing in the end, maybe a bad thing! who knows!)

idk . what happens at a noah kim house party stays at a noah kim house party overall tbh. maybe they hooked up and vowed to never speak of it again. maybe they spoke of it anyway. maybe it became a recurring thing. maybe they meet up present day and remember that night...

or, not involving hooking up, maybe someone went with him when he got the stupid flower tattoo on his shoulder that he doesn't remember. maybe it's matching with them and he doesn't remember so he doesn't know! idk !

idk please plot with me i'm begging

Delicious Party Precure (Final Thoughts)

(Bro, chill).

Now that I have gotten through another Precure season, allow me to share some opinions.

Prior to watching this, my first impression was honestly not too optimistic when it originally aired. Kirakira Precure a la Mode also had a food-related theme, albeit more on desserts than actual cuisine. Nonetheless, I had a quota and this was the most recent completed season available; it was bound to happen.

With 45 episodes, this is another short Precure season (alongside Healin' Good), although it works. The plot basically has our protagonists protecting Recipepes from being stolen by the Bundoru Gang. Exactly what are these "Recipepes"?

(Great. I'm getting Healin' Good vibes again, but without the Furi.)

Answer: These adorable food fairies that are subjected to getting kidnapped in almost every episode. They actually belong to three different groups: rice, noodle, and bread. That's where our fairy mascots come in as the protectors of these groups.

Kome-Kome is the main "marketing" mascot (and Cure Precious's partner) of this season (and ends up being the youngest of the three as the story progresses). Obviously, she doesn't talk much at first until later on when she gains power and eventually gains enough strength to lend a hand with the cures. Of course, this is a fox-like mascot, which I adore.

(Fuck, they named one after my aunt. WTF Toei?)

Then, there's Pam Pam, Cure Spicy's partner. She's my least favorite (and not because she's a pompous ass). The writers did not try hard enough to convince me that she is better than the other two; which sucks because I'm a dog and bread lover. *sad face*

(Crunchyroll, it is prounounced "men" not "mem").

Men-Men is the dragon-like mascot partner for Cure Yum-Yum. This one is quite interesting for saying "WONTON" every time Ran transforms. He's a good boi; in fact, my middle nephew is now in love with him and demands plushies. I quite like the dynamic between the two the most for having that savory connection.

Plus, Men-Men has a cool human form.

------------------------

Now, let's look at the cures:

Yui Nagomi / Cure Precious

The main protag of the four, Yui sure does love eating. Her late grandma was the reason she became so passionate for food (there is a slight backstory explaining this in a later episode). Her family owns a restaurant that houses these...maneki-nekos (I'll come back to this later). She is quite a fighter, delivering a devastating punch (500 kcal, then 1000kcal, and eventually, 2000 kcal power). I did admire her demeanor, being a wonderful leader.

Kokone Fuwa / Cure Spicy

Contrary to her partner, my feelings are the opposite for Kokone. There's something about her that immediately said "YES. THAT'S THE MISSING KICK IN THE MOUTH I'M LOOKING FOR IN A BLUE CURE". She's not Karen Minazuki levels of cool, but still freaking cool and Spicy had great defense that worked well in offense with the BREAD ROLLS.

(Give me a moment to savor the mental warmth that is bread).

WHAT MORE CAN I SAY? Kokone brought some calming traits that I enjoyed and overall class.

(How are you not related to Rin Hoshizora, FFS?!)

Ran Hanamichi / Cure Yum Yum

I've never in my life wanted a yellow cure that brought literal charisma and flaming passion (and I bet there's one before her that I forgot).

Ran oozes so much life, I don't even know if life can handle her. Her dynamic with Men-Men was one joyride down a noodle coaster and into some Lo mein paradise...or General Tso sauce.

All food pun aside, I've had my eye set on her even before watching; I swear she and Rin Hoshizora would make good "Ramen buddies".

As for Yum Yum, noodles as cutters was a clever way to go. I also like the design, even if it feels a bit awkward at times; however, it works for the idea of a traditional Chinese background. Now that I think about it, I don't even know if it was confirmed if Ran was Chinese-Japanese to begin with. (Surely, someone mentioned this in an interview).

(Student council president with diamonds on her head and yet Arisa Komiya was not considered...but I'll take another Ai.)

Amane Kasai / Cure Finale (formerly Gentlu)

OOOHHHHHHHHH. I WANT TO TALK ABOUT AMANE FOR A BIT.

During her villain arc, Gentlu had this aura of a frosted strawberry pop tart: once you warm it up, it tastes great. She was this sad frosted strawberry pop tart left sitting in a wrapper, waiting for someone to open it and put her in a toaster of love.

Once she became Cure Finale, I started having mixed questions about her drastic hair color change. She barely qualifies as a purple cure in design, despite the rest being multicolored. At this point, the rules in Precure are starting to unravel a bit with the color coding.

Unlike Precious, Spicy, and YumYum, Finale has a sweet motif; even Amane has "amai" or "ama" in her name, which means "sweet". It makes sense for someone who works in a sweets parlor.

Side note: her unofficial mascot partner is a parfait Recipepe that acts so ritzy-titzy it's hilarious; only Pam-Pam and Men-Men can understand it.

-------

As for the Bundoru Gang, I felt they were a decent bunch.

Narcistoru and Spiritoru were pretty strong; Secretoru in her civilian form was more entertaining and I wish the writers would have done more of that earlier in the show. Then, there's Godatz, who [spoiler alert prevents me from revealing a lot so this censor is all you're getting].

-----------

Moving on to some other opinions:

The OP is a literal earworm; it feels refreshing to hear a more cheerful, upbeat score.

The next to last episode had one of the most hilarious, absurd climaxes to a final boss fight I, in my opinion, ever witnessed.

The movie was surprisingly good for the most part, although Cait Sith was a hell of a movie villain with a somber backstory. When he went AWOL, I was just speechless.

(The STAPLE of Oishina Town became the deus ex machina and I couldn't keep my composure.)

----------

In the end, yes, Delicious Party Precure, despite my doubts on a food motif, actually impressed me with how it was executed. It surely was more entertaining than Tropical Rouge, but not enticing enough to leave a mark as a favorite. It has some odd moments, but, this is a season involving food and also etiquette; what were you expecting? A five-star lore to come out of it???

Anyways, this is definitely one to check out if you're passionate for food. I would even consider this to be a good starting point if you've never seen Precure at all (alongside Smile, Fresh or Maho Tsukai).

-------

With that being said, thus ends my yearly Precure season quota, even though Otona Precure 23 just started. As for the rest of the year, it has already been decided on the schedule. The Wheel has now finally been put to rest and hope to God I do not use that thing again.

Next month, look forward to me revisiting another anime title I've covered in the past. Perhaps....the most...clusterfuck of crossovers...featuring a familiar white rabbit looking son of a--

[wannaeatramyeon]

Hello! May I ask what's your opinion on bomi and the girls from viral hit?? Because I can't stand bomi like I hate her especially when she is used as a damsel in distress to motivate hobin smh 🙄😒

Me: [having a nice day]

Anon: hey, wanna feel some rage?

Ramblings on Viral Hit/HTF women

Eh. Tbh, not as bad as Lookism but not the best. By a long shot.

Bomi

What a WASTE. The main love interest and there's... nothing there. NOTHING.

I think I may have described her as a plank of wood with tits. Man, I just wish she had more personality.

Being pretty isn't a personality trait. SERIOUSLY.

What do we know about her? She's intelligent because she's shown to be a plot device for Yeonwoo, privileged due to her parents. What else is there?

I'm sure she's a nice girl, and my dislike of her really isn't directed to the character. Just. Frickin' PTJ and his wonderful skills at writing women.

And oooooh nooo PTJ and his team can't ever forget the boobs btw. WHAT is with the women's bodies especially in season 2?!

Oh. And wtf. Did she really get beaten up as a plot device to bring Munseong back? My my, that's a new low isn't it?

Munseong come here instead bb

Rumi

Quite like Rumi. She's shown to have a decent character development. Initially quite vapid and shallow but turns out she is kind and supportive and a really wonderful friend.

Also loved the arc where she quit the company and got scared. A very realistic response imo to everything and made her seem more of a rounded, three dimensional character.

Actually loooove her and Wangguk together, but I do NOT enjoy the pace of their relationship or how they got together. C'mon, you don't have to rush it.

And Wangguk blowing up whoever's place cos of Rumi's deepfakes?? BRO. WHAT ABOUT YOUR SISTER?? But that's a rant for another day.

Gaeul

Girl can fight!! Don't have much to add to her, although her character started off strong and now....

Honestly wtf was that Fake Couple arc with Hobin? WHY the unnecessary drama. Why are we reducing Gaeul to the third wheel between Bomi and Hobin??

Why are we also rolling Gaeul and Snapper out whenever the plot needs to move forward?!

Gyeoul

I fucking love this bitch. Never change.

Guys we were THIS CLOSE to having this character butchered and turned into another Hobin simp.

Thank fuck for that.

In Summary

Marginally better written than the girls in Lookism. At least Gaeul and Gyeoul can fight. Fucking LOVE Gyeoul.

Their body shape overall gives me the ick when combined with the way PTJ + co writes women.

Lastly, no words needed for the panel below. PTJ really wanting that harem for himself huh.

(The fifth heroine was meant to be the nurse.)

(And heroine is really a stretch. They are all damsels to be saved by Hobin except Gyeoul.)

Tokyo Debunker thoughts part 25

Hotarubi is so sweet! it's the kindest house this far. I'm so glad that's the house I would be put in.

People there tend to mind their business working on their own Creative projects. also the fact it rains so often!?! Hotarubi is Peak perfection.

Nevermind... apparently Hotarubi is the secrets chapter or something?! because why is there so much lying and deception going on?!???

Haku is chill in my opinion. I can definitely see why Rubia likes him. He's pretty levelheaded with a mischievous streak. He's definitely an enigma. He's stressed me out some and gave me some "WTF bro" moments. But overall I think he's chill.

Zenji is a total weirdo. Love that for him though. However, I find him a bit annoying at times. I still think he's an interesting character though. OH SHIT. The amount of plot twists that got revealed.... Like not only is he dead. but he's also behind the Threatening note & sleep paralysis demon combo, plus the creepy doll. Apparently it looks like his brother when he was younger.... So now I need to know who is his brother.

Subaru is such a sweetheart. He's so adorable. Such a sweetie pie. I feel he has some anxiety of some sort.... Sir, why are you acting suspicious. SIR. Explain. SUBARU WDYM YOU LIED!?! Oh... his stigma... That's so sad. I was right though, He's anxiety incarnate. I love him your honor. Also his friendship with lyca was so sweet.

HELLO!??! THE ENTIRE THING BETWEEN PROFESSOR DANTE AND ALAN WAS WILD!?!? WHY ARE WE RUNNING I WANT ANSWERS!!! We got half baked answers I guess. Still really wild we encountered that though.

WHAT IS IT WITH DARKWICK AND CAGES BROOO!?!!

I feel so bad for lyca. He was wrongfully accused of murder. Oh my God rescue plan yippee! YES PUPPY BOY! GO!! BE FREE!!!

Also I'm so glad the player character spoke up for themselves. I was sick of them getting walked all over like a doormat. She needed to be louder and take up space for herself. (that was one of my biggest grievances in the game)

Also Why does every chapter give me more stress than the one before it... 😮‍💨 /hj

Romeo changed tiers because I had a campus interaction with him. (I knew that placement would not last long. 😒)

And Hyde moved Because he fits better in that tier.

About Sonic 3

I know I said I’d talk about Doja Cat, but that can wait.

So I went to see Sonic 3 in theaters with my gf yesterday. I have a few things to say about it here. My first impression of it was CG5 on his shorts tab like “I’m bouta go see sonic 3! =D” and then it cuts to him utterly flabbergasted. I liked it, but it wasn’t THAT good. 

After I saw it I texted the homie BakedToast and he said “Was it good? Yes it was, you don’t need to answer that.” and I was like “It was fine, Jim Carey was good.” and then he lost his mind over me saying it was just fine. Sonic fans are wild.

I’ll go ahead and go over the acting since I’ve already mentioned Jim Carey. He was GREAT. I think that he was the best part of the movie, as usual. The 4th wall joke he did was my favorite joke. Having two Jim Carey’s was the best Christmas gift. 

The first scene where Shadow spoke I did NOT like Keanu Reeves. I know that he’s a national treasure and all that, but he doesn’t have much acting range. With that being said, after I got over the fact that all I could imagine when Shadow was speaking was Keanu Reeves, I was able to enjoy the movie. Despite him not having much acting range, I think that he fits Shadow really well. 

They’re really the only two actors I cared about, but right before the movie started three actors came on screen like “Thanks for coming to see sonic 3, we appreciate it!” and two of the actors were the ones who play Tom and Maddie, but I didn’t recognize the third one. My gf was like “That’s Blake Roman!” I doubt it was Blake Roman, but she was very sure it was. Was he in the movie? 

I mentioned CG5 earlier. I couldn’t take the plot seriously at all, especially Shadow’s parts. I would either be cheering over the little girl dying (Kwite reference), laughing at Keanu’s voice, or saying “Is bro gonna find Maria?” CG5 has given me severe brain rot. I made a video about Finding Maria. I might have said that I’d make part 2 once it came out, but tbh I don’t feel like doing that. 

I have to talk about the plot too, it literally shows up in a helicopter in the middle of a conversation. Wtf? They could have wasted just a little bit more time getting to the point. Agents show up like “Hey. This alien is terrorizing Japan, come fix shit.” and then team Sonic is like “Oh okay” and then they get in the helicopter. Gang what? No hesitation? No prep time? Damn. I like how Shadow was handled though, after the sudden exposition I’d say the pacing worked well.

One more thing, the comedy. Jim Carey was good, his jokes were funny, but come on, it’s Jim Carey. I might be a little too old for the jokes. It is a kid’s movie, but why can’t kids movies have good jokes too? I’d say that about half of them were. Most of everything Sonic said was lame, but he had a few funny lines. I don’t remember most of them though. Either I have a shitty memory, or the movie had shitty comedy.

Actually, the “Konichi-what?” thing made me want to blow my brains out. 

That’s about all I have to say here. Do I think you should watch the movie? Yeah, but only if you’ve seen the other 2. This one ended on a cliffhanger, but don’t bother watching a fourth one if it comes out, because Jim Carey said that he will not be in it. Therefore, yucky. Overall, Sonic 3 is anywhere from a 6/10 - 8/10.

Happy New Year's eve! Hope you have an original New Year’s resolution, because I don’t. I don’t have one at all.

season 2 rewatch complete.

notes below the cut.

it's actually MUCH better than i gave it credit for. there's definitely still some bumps in the road, but, overall, decently solid.

the dynamic b/w Dracula and the Forgemasters is well done and, as usual, Isaac is still the much stronger character out of the two. i recently found an interview that revealed Ellis didnt play any of the games and, that definitely helps me make sense of the decisions in the writing both in this season, and in the subsequential two that follow.

i can understand where they were going, with Carmilla taking advantage of the power vacuum now present. and while she is a compelling villain, none of the things they try and set-up in this season, ultimately have any payoff in the third. i remember the key plots of season 3: Trevor and Sypha are in Lindenfell, Alucard is with the twins, Hector's is getting to know Carmilla's own vampire council, and Isaac with his own spiritual and philosophical journey. the addition of new characters and concepts that Ellis just thought were cool helps sooo many of their decisions make sense... which is why this season stands out as the LAST good season imo.

the issue with having no clue about the source material, is that if you were familiar with the games at all, you would know that Dracula is THE bad guy--THE villain that keeps popping up throughout all of time, whether it be through ritualistic sacrifice or from a god damn solar eclipse. there are few Castlevania games that end with you NOT fighting Dracula. and the fact that he dies in the SECOND season? that should have been your clue, mate--should have been your clue to stop right there.

they give more build up for the fight against Carmilla, than they did for the fight of the 3 main characters against DRACULA. and the interactions between the main 3 definitely left something to be desired.

they dedicate far too much time with the drama b/w the vampires and the trio suffers because of it. a lot of the dialogue shared between them is clumsy and awkward and, again, with the head writer of your show never playing any of the games, helps me understand why they talk like this. you can make Alucard out to be distrusting and even a little childish, but he's also a vampire, the SON of Dracula and... well, HE WOULDN'T SAY THAT!!!!! it's like what i said for season 1; i really wish they primarily made Trevor the one that swears and acts crude and makes dumb jokes. "Eat shit and die." "Yes, fuck you." HE WOULDNT SAY THAT BRO!!!! and you can make them being bros argument all you want but this boy was sheltered in a castle most of his life and then slept undisturbed for over a year. HE WOULD be awkward!!! I KNOW THAT man has 0 social skills.

and don't even get me started on fucking Godbrand. i hope they were trying to make him annoying as hell on purpose bcuz then, good job! but that mf still had too much screentime when his sole purpose was to just die. why did Carmilla want him anyways?? the other generals were behind her plan to begin with. wtf was he doing to be useful for?

and god damn does the never playing the games come sooo in your face than what they did with Hector. literally infantilizing this grown ass man bro 😭 "Oh he only sees the world in animal dichotomies and is too simple to understand how things really work" MF GOES TO ANOTHER DIMENSION AND FIGHTS DRACULA'S SPIRIT WITH WEAPONS AND DEMONS FUCK YOU!!!!

and 5 years later, Ellis is still a freak having a man of color cuffed and chained and beaten by a white woman who calls him her "Puppy." Freak. AND hector's LITERAL plot in the next season is the same fucking thing!!!!! he gets lured into trusting someone and then he is betrayed, locked up, and beaten so that they can advance their own agenda. IT'S LITERALLY THE SAME FUCKING "ARC"!!!!!! ELLIS I WILL KILL YOU WITH MY BARE HANDS!!!

"separate the art from the artist" really be pissing me the fuck off when they actually cook. the final battle? with Bloodlines playing in the background? still goated. i dont care, its probably one of the best battles in the series. and the fact that they kill all the music when Dracula and Alucard end up in his childhood bedroom to really SELL Callis and McTavish's performances? Goated. the fact that Deats brothers were behind the direction is honestly a god send, they're the only reason we even HAVE any references to the games. the entire Belmont hold is full of easter egg weapons, items, and enemies. Including the portrait of Leon. god this series pisses me off.

in my head it's just another case of "what could have been" and GOD it still makes me angry, even as i write this. whatever. this was all really an excuse for me to take notes so i can finally start writing my fucking sequel. L8RR

[poppyseed799]

I wish I had more drive to draw. I’m thinking about my minecraft OCs from like 2016 again

Their original plot will probably never continue so I’m making up AUs for them. Like what if tOWCH I STUBBED MY TOES what if their server updated and did a full reset or something. And Honeycomb lost track of the prisoners because of it so they escape. So Redstone Player and Lemon Dancer are on the run from the detectives (and Honeycomb). I’m not sure if the other admins would care as much tbh. I mean clearly this whole prison thing was approved so they would maybe try to help but they’re not as involved as Honeycomb.

But like realistically they could easily imprison them again since they have admin powers and all so maybe the other admins say “it’s a new world, give them a chance, let’s only arrest them if the detectives find them” and Honeycomb’s main motivation for banning murder was his interest in the detective’s investigations so he would probably agree even tho he would want the prisoners to stay imprisoned, he’s been outvoted and accepts it cuz woo more detective action!

Lemon Dancer probably tries to get away from Redstone Player but he keeps following them (I forgot their gender and they aren’t my character but idk if my sister even remembers so I’m voting to make them genderqueer I bet my sister would accept it. I like to use any pronouns for LD and my sister will probably allow me to make that canon lmao). Redstone is like “uh oh Lemon Dancer did you hear that?! We are on the run we gotta hide!!” And Lemon Dancer’s just like “okay cool hey how about we split up cool idea right???” cuz she’s so done with his antics from prison LOL. He probably has to change his skin and hates it cuz he probably worked hard on it. So they spend way too long trying to make the perfect (wacky) skin to help hide their identity.

Redstone is really freaking clingy tho. He’s also a little too driven to take down the detectives. He and LD are just like chilling in their secret hideout when RP breaks the silence with “we should gather a team to take down the detectives” and LD is just like “wtf is wrong with you like actually” they don’t really care about the detectives aside from “they imprisoned me” so they’re fine just being on the run. “Don’t you realize if we talk to anyone they’ll report us to the detectives?” “Well yeah maybe but I’m sure we can convince them the detectives are the true evil of the server” and LD groans and considers turning herself in just to get away from Redstone Player. Then thinks “wait, hold on, am I cooking?” and starts trying to think of ways to get REDSTONE PLAYER arrested while staying off the hook. RP assumes he’s actually thinking about one of his ideas for once and is happy.

Overall LD probably uses Redstone to do work like “hey why don’t you go mining and get us some materials so we can survive” while they just chill at the secret hideout waiting for the goods.

And then my more recent obsession in the MCDetectives universe PHOENIX KETCHUP. Poor bro is probably terrified. He’s all alone and very paranoid. He was already struggling with losing his best friend and everyone else in his held-together-by-a-thread friend group, but now he’s dealing with that AND a loss of the surroundings he’s used to? No more home, having to get supplies all on his own? YIKES! He COULD ask for help, and perhaps he wants to, but he’s too paranoid, disconnected from the general population, and ever so slightly too proud. Don’t get me wrong he’s not THAT proud but the other factors yknow. People probably DO want to help him actually, he’s sort of seen as a poor innocent guy whose BFF was murdered. But in reality he’s too tainted to trust any well-meaning people.

He probably snaps and tries to find Redstone Player again. That’s what he did before the reset, cling onto the last remaining person involved, the last remnant of his dark past, despite the bad things. He knows Redstone is out there. He’s just gotta find him.

I don’t know how they’ll find each other. Maybe with the power of Phoenix kind of knowing Redstone he will be able to figure out where he would go? Idk. It seems really unlikely they’ll find each other, honestly. Phoenix isn’t in good shape to be doing these searches. He’s overly cautious. Maybe it’s a stroke of luck that they find each other. Wait they can probably /msg each other. A sudden “where are you” from Phoenix and Redstone freezes for a bit, unsure of what to do. After maybe a day or so, he leaves a meetup spot for Phoenix to come to. That’s how they find each other.

Redstone Player suddenly freezes, realizing that being seen by someone who was friends with the guy he murdered was probably a life sentence. They hate each other, Redstone Player is on the run, he’s gotta get out of here- but before he can move, Phoenix runs over and hugs him. Despite his pride, Phoenix cries. Redstone doesn’t know what to do, but hugs him back. Somehow, they missed each other a lot.

“Are you here to turn me in?” RP asks after a bit. Phoenix shakes his head. “I don’t know what to do without you.” Redstone knows that feeling all too well. Redstone Player doesn’t want to get caught, and drags Phoenix back to the base. Lemon Dancer jumps out of his (brand new) skin and yells “WHY DID YOU BRING SOMEONE HERE?!” Eventually LD manages to use Phoenix as an excuse to finally leave Redstone Player. “Oh yay you’ve got someone to help you hide! I’ll be hiding on my own it’s harder for the detectives to catch us then! Yup I’ll stay in touch have fun with this idiot!!”

And so it becomes Redstone Player and Phoenix Ketchup on-the-run survival together. With the occasional Lemon Dancer cuz she cannot shake Redstone off for the life of her.

It’s pretty awkward but as they have to make base and gather resources together they start to bond more. Phoenix doesn’t understand many of the mechanics of the game and is terrified, but Redstone teaches him. The lack of knowledge Phoenix has surprises him a lot, but he always teaches him. Phoenix really appreciates this but is bad at showing that. He never thought one day he could grow out of being a noob. Sure he was always learning before, too, but it wasn’t much. The amount of knowledge he had was always being controlled. Redstone is surprised by how smart Phoenix actually is once he gets to know him better, he always had “acts smart when he’s actually dumb” energy but it’s actually quite the opposite. He was only lacking information. Phoenix is good at picking up on hints, reading people, and generally putting things together. He was just manipulated and controlled his entire time in the server.

Anyways Phoenix secretly consumes a lot of “yandere x reader” type of content and hides it cuz he thinks it’s cringe but then Redstone Player finds out and is like “HUH” and Phoenix is really embarrassed like “WAIT… BEFORE YOU JUDGE… I JUST… UM… L-Listen it’s just nice to think that someone would do all of that because they LIKE you yknow!!! It’s like the truest kind of love!” And Redstone is flabbergasted just staring with like a loading bar trying to process all of this and then something clicks and he goes “OH PHOENIX… I didn’t know you had a crush on your best friend too but he was NOT a yandere he was just evil!!” And Phoenix is like “I DID NOT HAVE A CRUSH ON SUPER NOOB” and Redstone is like “even if he did like you it was still wrong of him to do all of those things. The way he treated you ruined your life!” and Phoenix is like “I NEVER SAID SUPER NOOB IS A YANDERE I DONT HAVE A CRUSH ON HIM ALSO HOW DARE YOU-“ he is always flipflopping like that but this moment especially he would start defending Super Noob. But Redstone has dealt with Phoenix’s ramblings a lot by this point and also realized this is a big coping mechanism so this time instead of arguing he just hugs Phoenix and treats him nicely to attempt to prove that love can come without abuse and that controlling someone isn’t a way to show you love them cuz there are better ways to show you love someone. Phoenix gets flustered by the implications and also because he realizes Redstone literally killed his best friend so is HE actually the yandere? If Redstone found out Phoenix wanted to call him a yandere he would lose his mind and probably cry. Then Phoenix would also realize Redstone admitted he had a crush on Super Rokket who was also friends with Super Noob so that’s another point for the yandere Redstone Player theory. Which if Redstone found out about he would launch into a giant speech about his motivations and reasons for the murder and how NONE of it is yandere. Phoenix would not be convinced.

And that last paragraph was all I REALLY wanted to say thanks for watching
