Hey are you planning to finish this Akane analysis you talked about?

This thing is such the running gag of this blog help me

Idk Anon sorry ://

I am in a rare tbhk mood since months but idk if I will have the energy to do it I will be honest the main reason is because of how Akane is seen by most of the fandom I honestly feel really out of touch with how he is viewed by most people which is the reason I always started and never finished x'))) ( 2/3 persons being the exceptions rip (from people who express themselves about tbhk, I know a lot of persons don't talk too))

So it's a maybe! but honestly I won't promise it ahah writing my thoughts (especially in english) , even when half of them are insane and not really linked directly to the manga, take a long time and I don't have much ^^

I still think he is a good character in the most recent chapters (which unfortunately can't be said for all characters :') He had bad appearances in chapters when he was in this kinda limbo before the clock keepers/grim reaper arc but after he just didn't, which once again clearly can't be said for everyone biggest rip(expect for chapter 109 but I just think this chapter sucks in general and even in this horror he was probably one of the best character help me)

I have big fears for him because of how inconsistent AidaIro is tbh With the need they have to make some characters the highlights and destroy the others just to make their favs look good. So I kinda expect Akane and the clock keepers mostly to be dunked on in terms of writing. (I wil always love them, like all mysteries ♥)

But I am happy to see this question, it made me laugh and I am surprised some people remember ^^

Thank you for the ask Anon! I would be sure to scream if I ever post one so you can see it ❤️

Do you think Banjo is the type of person who hides his problems behind a clown mask?

The guy acts like a bit of comedy relief, but I think he's the kind of person to face his problems head-on. I don't think he uses humor as a coping mechanism. We never see him do that for himself. He's just a loud guy

Look at how he first appears to Midoriya

He's loud, and it steals Midoriya's attention. But he's calling him out on why he's messing up

But as a character's debut, the first things he does are:

Call out Midoriya for trying to do things alone, when Yoichi's first message to him was that he wasn't

Tell him that if he can compose himself, things typically work out

Understands Midoriya's side of things, and tells him he knows (like lacking a mouth)

And once he says those two previous things, he exhales, and his eyes show their pupils properly

The parting advice he gives Midoriya is a reiteration of the second point: It's okay to be mad. What's important is controlling your heart.

Blackwhip is a Quirk that responds to the holder's emotions. Like other Quirks, but Blackwhip goes out of control when the user isn't able to get a grip on themselves

Banjo used his Quirk effectively. He'd have to live that advice to pass it on to Midoriya, back when Abilities were starting to become normal, but Japan was still wrecked. And we know that Quirks are influenced by, and influence, the holder's personality.

Banjo would have to be able to be honest with himself, understand his emotions, and has the maturity to say it's okay to be mad. Just control it.

When he said that for the first time, it actually surprised me. Everyone in fiction or reality says "Don't be mad", but a character on his debut and says it's okay to be that. I never heard anyone say that controlling your emotions and outputting them in a healthy manner is what matters. People just say not to he negative or annoying, because it's inconvenient; but Banjo went past that.

And when he fades, he tells Midoriya he's got this. He reminds him that they're all behind him.

Whenever he speaks, he doesn't make the receiver feel bad, or speak down to them. He understands them, and gives the next step in a familiar, friendly way.

On his debut, he told Midoriya to control his heart, and to remember he wasn't alone. Here, he tells him he should try understanding their Quirks better.

He's actually got a mature way of seeing things. He's an adult, and being the holder between Shinomori and En, he wouldn't be able to deal with either of them if he wasn't mature about himself. Shinomori probably wouldn't choose someone who can't be honest with himself upfront, after spending almost half his life for OFA. And En is young, prone to panic, and a guy who acts like his problems aren't there or funny wouldn't help that.

I can visualize Banjo sitting at a small fire with Shinomori, having an honest, calm talk about life (until Shinomori says the wrong thing and Banjo yells something about it). But not Banjo trying to push his problems down with a hearty laugh, and Shinomori being okay with that.

When Midoriya used his Quirk for the first time, Banjo did get loud at the start, but he did lecture him in a way that was kinda teacher-mentor-ish.

I actually like the way Banjo talks about his observances. He's got the demeanor of a good teacher, he's clear, and direct. He's light-hearted about serious things, but doesn't diminish them. He just approaches it in a way that you aren't feeling the pressure, and can feel like it's possible.

He seems to have this habit of being loud to get people's attention, and simmers down once he has it. He's never indirect or leaving the addressed to figure out the answer on their own, he gives it outright.

When Midoriya used Blackwhip for the first time, Banjo was all "You got it all wrong!" and then explained things. Since he felt himself fading, he could've been talking louder to compensate himself past the daze he felt. To make sure he was talking, heard, and to keep himself awake

When the first Three made the void silent because Kudo and Bruce didn't want to help, Banjo broke it with what Midoriya should do next

When Shinomori got yoinked, the first thing Banjo did was report it in a panic to Midoriya. This just tells Midoriya he really has to be careful now, because OFA can really be stolen. Even if Banjo just panics and doesn't say that aloud

Every time Banjo is facing some kind of problem, he doesn't let others panic too hard. He's not pressuring about problems, and steps back to let Midoriya figure things out.

When Midoriya was running himself into the ground, Banjo was one of the vestiges that didn't show up to tell him to rest. He already understood how Midoriya saw things, and was doing them his own way

Rather than trying to be a clown, I think Banjo is just a friendly person. He's honest with others and with himself, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to utilize Blackwhip right, or be the holder between a sagey hermit and young, scared adult.

Def intruiged by avowed but I feel like i gotta finish up po1/2. Took a break around white march 1 and never picked it up again for some reason. What did u think of them?

i'm doing the same! afaik you don't really need to have played the poe games to understand avowed but it'll definitely make the game better. there are apparently some character cameos but idk who (hopefully my princess aloth ♥️)

i actually haven't played more than a few hours of deadfire... i was sort of enjoying it but the boat mechanic annoyed me (reminded me of sunless seas which is designed to be annoying on purpose so lol) and... okay, this is petty but i'd just tried and failed to get into critical role and one of the voice actors was doing the EXACT same annoying fake-southern accent as she did in the campaign i'd been watching. and it grated on me so badly that when i realised she'd be a major character who i couldn't ignore i had to stop.

anyway, my opinion on the first game is like. 75% positive? It's a really good crpg and feels like a mostly faithful homage to the original bg/infinity engine games with updated graphics and qol features, i'm a freak who likes rtwp and the strategy element of crpgs so i enjoy the combat a lot. it's maybe a little too close to d&d at times but i love that they have guns and the setting-unique classes they came up with are pretty fun.

the companions are kind of 50/50, some i love and some i don't care about at all, i like that they try to vary how their quests work but it can also be kind of annoying to figure out how to trigger them - i didn't get durance's story at all the first time i played because i wasn't talking to him after every long rest lol. there were also some companions that just seemed to be half-finished or have way less content than others. kana,( i think?) was interesting but had a tiny quest and pretty much did nothing after that, meanwhile the game wanted really badly for me to care about eder and he didn't charm me at all.

i'm also very ehhh on the story and writing, which apparently isn't a super common opinion. it's just kind of boring as someone who generally isn't into grand god plots in d&d-esque settings. i remember there being lots of beats where i knew i was supposed to feel something but it just felt pretty dry. another reason i couldn't get into deadfire (this was an issue in the first game but not as bad) was that the writing feels a little bit... overwrought? if that makes sense? like they want really really badly for you to find it deep and pretty to the point that it distracts from what's happening. i get that they want a prose-y style but when you're forcing each sentence to sound nice it loops right back around to sounding amateur again because you can feel the writer straining a little. dai and dos2 also have this problem imo so maybe it's just something that was in style in the mid-late 2010s lol.

if you are 1) currently in a university where your student healthcare covers hormone therapy, and 2) in a good financial, emotional, and social position to start hormone therapy, i would recommend pursuing it. because in my experience, it's a huge pain in the ass to get an endocrinologist once you're on your own

Journal Entry

A dream/nightmare that featured someone no longer in their life

I used to dream often about Marigold. ( My daughter, of course. Not my snapshot friend. I don't know why I'm clarifying. I should be the only one reading these. Anyway).

Back when I was running the Agency, and sleep came easier to me, I felt like I saw her most nights. Not all of these dreams were bad necessarily, but even the good with her weren't enjoyable. I knew our visits would be brief. I knew I was dreaming, that it wasn't really her, and that she'd still be gone when I woke.

On top of all of this, I didn't want to see her. Not like I do now. I was handling things a bit...differently, back then. My "method" of dealing with anything from my past that caused me grief was to avoid it completely. I filled my time entirely with work. I busied myself with learning everything there was to know about the Zero Point and the place it had brought me to. I put every skill I had at my disposal into gathering intel, fitting into a world and time entirely different than my own, getting in with the IO, gaining influence, then getting a group together willing to follow me out of the IO and stay with me while I tried to harness the Zero Point's power and take over the island.

I didn't have time for grief. I didn't have time for guilt. I didn't have time for connections. Plenty of flings, no relationships. Plenty of coworkers & acquaintances, but no friends. I didn't have time to reflect. I didn't have time to try and process. I didn't have time to be a father either to the child I'd lost or the one I'd gained! I didn't--...I didn't have time for love. Of any kind.

It wasn't until I had died and had nothing but time in the Underworld that I realized how foolish I had been. Ambition is one thing ( and I certainly haven't given up on my desire for control over this miserable place), power too, but...neither of those things make you human. Emotions do. Love, grief, anger, regret...They're all necessary. No matter how much they inconvenience me. ...I wish Marigold would come to me in a dream now. One that isn't just a memory of that day. Maybe it had been her before. Maybe she'd been trying to tell me the very thing it took dying for me to realize. Or, once again, maybe I am speculating on something I needn't. Reminder: these are not "public" to other Tumblrverse characters. Okay to reblog, but please do not roleplay on journal entries!
