#and why ota got killed too cuz he was in the way

[aria0fgold]

Wait I just remembered my broken theories from before I fell asleep. I was thinking about the possible motive of the murders but it went around places. Like, why was #89's story different from what Pewter said? Why was the memories in Iris' memory is also different from the story? (In the branch I went with at least). Shoko who was the first victim had a connection with Sejima, Renju has a connection with the Kumakuras and might even be connected to Sejima as well.

That last part I saw with Boss shooting Sejima makes it seem like she's targetting him specifically. So who killed Iris and Ota in that other branch? Sejima seems to have killed Iris in the current branch I'm in but why?

If Boss is the copycat, it somehow makes sense if I'm going by the small and possibly insignificant but I'm making it significant clue Iris said about Shoko's death. Boss and Pewter are the only introduced characters that knows of the ABIS and the Wadjet system. A system for the aiball to 'think.' And the fact that Date was assigned to a case he wasn't normally assigned to, it's like... a message for him specifically, for him to think.

And that part with the original cyclops killer report. It's odd, too odd. #89 talks like a lone wolf assassin, all the murders he's dealt with are covered up like accidents or suicides but the cyclopes murders are far from it. So what happened??? It's like he deliberately took the blame for it. Also the way Boss seems to be on Rohan's side LIKE--

Becoming a Family With Him, Part 3 // Shuichi, Hikaru, Rhion, Luke, Eisuke

so this came out, as further celebration for the anni. VERY GOOD, much more appreciated than the prior story set lol that one was kind of boring but i get it

they made the kids for all the... kid-less ones, and the eisuke one that used to be VIP-exclusive is now here for everyone to buy (rip those ppl who gacha for it)

my rambling behind the cut (spoilers!!)

shuichi // as ud expect, shuichi has a literal hime ass looking girl (kikyo) for a daughter. she’s only 6, but is pretty calm and ladylike. She even calls her parents with –sama so... ok luckily shuichi does not strip down all the way in the presence of her daughter and only takes off his suit coat. thanks dad

anyway since shuichi has a break coming up, he wants to have a family trip how nice. but then the dang girl wants to go over to see eisuke WHAT when soryu exists and lives a block away? unrelatable, im closing the app anyway eisuke is her first love, which wtf he’s like 20 yrs older than u. even worse, mc says she’s been in love since she was like 3.

shuichi is reconsidering the benefits of democracy in his mind but eventually relents. but then they’re still following the fucc-days rule they set years ago. well, as he says in the story, RULES ARE RULES

blah blah i don’t want to go over everything bc then it’ll be boring reading the story when it comes out in engl right? also im tired bc it’s 1 am and i just want to play toontown in bed but nothing really bad happens. they are a v cute family bc shuichi is a pleasant and mature dad. kikyo and mc even do a little surprise for him at the end and it is very sweet. i feel like out of all the families, this is the most ideal

mad hatter // so they have twin sons named Rui and Kai. Rui is the childlike one that resembles Rhion in personality, Kai is the more mature one that resembles Al. man i forget that boy’s name but u get me i know they only can use stock bgs but it’s killing me that these dang kids get to sleep in what looks like separate king sized beds.

even though rhion is now a father of two, he still acts like... 10. i mean he still horni but it makes me feel weird

later it’s revealed that Ota teaches them both as an art tutor bc they both showed an interest in art. this is cute bc ota is bad with kids in this universe LOL

the ending on this one was weird cuz the kids didn’t show up in the entirety of the last ep bc it was about WORK. so uh... interesting

hikaru // so their son is named akari. haha get it because it means light. like how hikaru also means light. can mc name her kids unrelated to their father or is that against the Geneva convention

this kid actually acts like an actual little boy. like what hikaru would’ve probably turned into if not for the whole sad backstory. the story starts with akari just bringing a dog randomly home one day. he actually saved the dog (it is very cute bc he did not want the dog to cry), and then after a talk they decide to keep the dog as long as akari knows the responsibility of taking care of an animal.

so next day, the bidders come over to their house and everyone’s like woaw a dog. lol they come into their house as guests and eisuke and mamo still demand for beverages, they all suck

akari names the dog... “Light” (Raito) and i want out of this nightmare. Naturally bc Light is an abandoned dog it’s still kind of bad with interacting with things. But then Light suddenly be giving the ( ╹ਊ╹) to soryu bc remember, animals love him. everyone clowns on soryu for being an unintentional dog whisperer and then akari is like “soryu san pls make me ur apprentice” and he gives some advice like approaching it slowly, and talking to it from the front instead of back.

blah blah there’s a situation where Light goes YEET after a Doberman gets all angry and then hides bc then another dog is scaring it. hikaru swoops in to the save the day as the Real Dog Whisperer. ok it’s cute when hikaru actually gets to look cool  for once LOL

luke // luke is cute on the bc “pre-story” scene he’s actually pretty open to the idea of having kids; he actually goes “well imo we should think abt it pretty soon, but i wanted to hear ur opinion on it” but then he gets horni. and then he’s like “our kids are going to have your collarbones. awesomeee im looking forward to that” ....ok

ok cut to the actual story and they’re in Japan. Luke’s kid looks... strange versus the others. why are his eyes so big? omg voltage his eyes arent going to be saucers just cuz he half white also the kid’s name is Yuri (Or Urey). They couldn’t think of any other Brit-styled names? Like Harry? Henry? William? Wilfred? hey stan be my princess btw he’s pretty cute, though he gives serious “timid kid that gets bullied in the children’s movie” vibes. He calls Luke “daddy” and mc “mammy/mommy”.

so luke talks about his relationship w/ soryu and eisuke and then yuri is like “i want friends like that” wow cute but also find less ethically-complicated friends

so luke lets yuri meet a young patient of his (haru) so they can be friends. they get along so it’s good. haru gets in critical condition later so luke zooms outta there to do the operation.

LOL but at the end yuri is like, “i want to make more friends. (...) can i go to the bidder’s room from now on?” this boy works fast

And then he’s like “Eisuke-san... please be my friend.” HIS POWER. even eisuke was like :O so then eisuke orders a whole bunch of food and books up to the penthouse. But then yuri’s like “...i like eisuke’s eyes” and everyone’s like oh man that’s gonna be his fetish

Baba: why have u started to have an interest in eyes Yuri: I read it from one of daddy’s medical books Hikaru: wtf u can read that at 4??? (...) Soryu: wat Yuri: um... i want soryu to be my friend too Yuri: bc soryu’s eyes are also powerfully cool...

eisuke // ok this gets an extended ramble bc the more annoying the story the longer i must complain

so you might be thinking, “oh so this is gonna be a flashback in some in media res styled story with your 2 kids, u know in the style of the others” and well, no you just go straight to white screen into the flashback, back when eito was smaller and thus a little more cute. well it’s not really false advertising bc they did say “reminisce” in the description. but i wanted to see eito be a good big brother for a moment! or... less good? man i wanted to see kaito go waaaah like a baby idk i wanted to see him exist

so back to the story they cut to small eito. even as a smaller punk he does fight with his dad a little, just w/ a more narrow vocabulary to work with. tho at this point he’s still pretty sweet so clearly eisuke clowning him day and night was a negative effect on his development. (doesn’t treat his child like a child) (child grows up to a punk that doesn’t respect him) (surprised pikachu) being the son of a billionaire means that this child has to go study at a very young age and listen to MOZART. no child of eisuke ichinomiya will be listening to degenerate bops like lee taemin’s criminal next day they all go to the very fancy school that eito will be attending. eisuke does a speech, but then eito is all like “why is papa over there all the time” in reference to how all the other parents in attendance are having fun with their children, but eisuke is busy talking to other people for business and connections etc. etc. mc kind of has a hard time trying to explain it to eito bc... it’s honestly poor parenting... eiji shows up after arriving late, and he’s like “gramps is gonna be with ya today! instead of papa” which is cute but then she’s like psst thanks for coming and im like oh... so grandpa just didn’t randomly come to the open house for fun he’s just gonna be surrogate dad while real dad is busy... aw... and then at the end eito’s like FUC THIS KINDERGARTEN. eisuke is like “(smh) don’t yell in public. (despite everything) you are still the eldest son of the Ichinomiya family”

and so afterwards it’s clear that eito does not want anything to do with this school. he just sits in the classroom until mc is there to pick him up instead of playing in the courtyard or w/e, wanting nothing to do with the other kids.

so later there’s a hiking trip for the students and both of their parents, and mc asks eisuke if he’ll be available for it. eisuke is like, “i have a business trip that day, so I’ll have to adjust my schedule” and he’s been very busy in the opening of a new business or w/e. mc tells him to not do so much for something like that and that it’s ok if she goes alone with eito on the trip.

it’s the day of the trip, and mc goes alone with eito. she notes that a lot of dads did indeed come along for the trip. she apologizes to eito and says that she did talk to eisuke about the trip before, but he’s simply busy for this day. and im like... but girl, you were the one who told him not to change his schedule for the trip. yes a trip may seem less important than business ventures, but don’t make it sound like you weren’t the one who stopped him. lol. idk why im pressed abt this single line of dialogue bc later she does realize she fucced up there well eito is just like w/e about it and has pretty much accepted that sort of thing

anyway eito goes missing later and one of the kids said that he told eito that his dad (eisuke) didn’t come bc his dad thinks that his work is more important than his son. so eito got mad and ran off somewhere

and then mc finally gets the lightbulb moment that eito... wants to see his dad!! he ran off to go try to see him somehow??? !! wow so sweet

it’s raining like a mf but then in her search for eito eisuke randomly pops out of nowhere. He’s like “ho i did not remember saying that i wasn’t coming” and she’s like “im sorrryyy” and both me and him are like “just find the dang kid”

ok yea they find eito, he starts being a good student, and u start to see where he starts being antagonistic towards his dad LOL etc. etc. lol this story annoyed me so i don’t feel like doing the rest of the play by play orz

anyway thanks for reading my garbage LOL

[nonbinaryaubrey]

yeahhhh i looked back on it a few weeks ago and was like "okay thats pretty bad. maybe i shouldntve done that" I dont really like that part either, i guess i was just throwing things at a wall and saw what stuck without really thinking of the implications tbh. totally agree w/ you on how harmful that is. Also, dw, you arent being harsh!!

(semi related since we're talking about otas mom.) She is such a sweetheart. i kinda felt bad making the slideshow cuz i was like "no...shes so pure...she wouldnt kill..." and i was so relieved since she wasnt the killer.

I feel like they wrote her in such a realistic way, too. She kinda acts like my grandma, and i totally love that i can connect one of my fav games w/ my real life experiences. (i guess that's why i also like omori 😧) Seeing Ota lash out at her when she asked about college broke my heart, because Ota thought she was mocking him, and mayumi was just trying to talk to her son :[

yeah,, im glad u saw why that was wrong. thats good!!

and yeah... shes SO sweet and such a sad character. while her somnium didnt make me cry or anything like that (good.. because i think i mightve done that one. in class from what i remember sdjnkfssfdfdlsfmd). it DEFINITELY hit hard. especially that part :((.. she was just trying to talk to him but he got mad at her and stormed away.. i think the part that mightve hit me hardest in that somnium was when she got the call about her husband... its a really short part but it just made me very sad... the entire thing makes going back and looking at the beginning of the game when shes talking about her husband and the diner.. just. so much sadder with the proper context.. shes such a sweet and kind lady and i feel so bad for her...

My observations watching 🎯 Arrow 5x20 "Underneath"

Note: I so freaking loved this episode!!! I've seen it literally like 10 times already. It has an issue or 2 that bothers me, but I ignore that and enjoy the rest. I was too excited last night to write any of my scene-by-scene reactions, and reviews with a more general approach are better, so I decided to continue to do them this way. I can't guarantee that this would organize as could be, 'cause I'm still too hyped about it, anyway... Let's get started and get ready for a long review!

Olicity in the present day:

OMG! I love that they were forced to confront their issues! AT LAST!! It makes you wonder if Prometheus a shipper too hehehehe. Despite of everything he’s done, we have to thank him one thing at least. Anyhow, it's been way too long for Oliver and Felicity to have the talk. Altho, I'd have like them to fight even more, like Dyla did. Yelling at each other, really yelling and letting everything out (well Felicity yelled a bit --I loved she telling 'I told you so' to Oliver). 

I wish sometimes that Oliver stopped being so stubborn!! He knows by now that all he needs to do is what his wifey tells him. Why he even tries to go against that?! Let's hope this new scar reminds him that for the rest of his life. Putting aside my desires to strangle him for that, poor baby!! After that fall, ouch ouch, ouch. You could see how bad he was injured since the beginning, touching his back, limping, and sitting down every time he could. No good signs. That man has the will and strength of a thousand men, 'cause even being in so bad shape, he managed to carry Felicity on his back down the tunnel and then up the to the surface. Not only that! He pulled her up when almost fell. I almost laugh at Felicity when she told him to let her go. Yeah, riiiiiight! Like if that would ever happen. Please, it's ridiculous to think that he would! Oliver would chop his own head off first!

Funny side note: Oliver always complaining about the pain when Felicity is treating him; any other time he take it without flinching, with her... not so much. though he had all the right to complain this time. it was a really big and bad boo-boo

Okay now to the angsty part. God, the scene of Oliver confessing to Felicity broke my heart in a zillion of pieces. I'm not okay after that. All I wanted was to hug my baby!! And I gotta say that once more, Stephen made a spectacular performance there. Honestly, his acting in this season has been off the charts. I'm impressed the delicate changes in his speech as the scene progressed. You can notice how he was losing strength as he went on. Not like typically actors do that in one sec they're speaking normally and the next they're unconscious.

Can we talk about how Felicity was against Oliver's chest with her hand over his heart like making sure that was still beating? I'm-- I'm not ok.

And Felicity's speech didn't help me either. So much feels!! Gosh how I missed those Olicity moments. I hope that now we'll get more and more of them.

Do you know what else I loved? The way that Felicity injected the adrenaline into Oliver. No thinking, no hesitation. She did what she needed to do. Our badass cupcake has come a loooooooooong way from not liking blood and afraid of needles to stitching Oliver like a pro and stabbing a needle into his heart.

Olicity in the flashbacks: 

Oh so much heart eyes, flirting, touching, salmon ladder, sex!! YESS!!! And *sighs* hard truths.  I think that the reason they made so lit at the beginning was to have a more painful effect at the end. I should complain about the sex not being so hot as in 3x20 but I kinda expected that it would be this way so it didn't crush my expectations, but it's olicity sex so YAYYY!! WOOHOO!! (another side note: I won't see the sparring mat the same EVER AGAIN!)

The fallout... well, it was as painful as I thought it was gonna be. I prepared myself for that so... 

Altho, that doesn't explain how they got from that to how they were in 5x01. I guess I need to add that the things that don't make sense (I'm talking about that below) However, both Felicity and Oliver said hard truths to each other. And It was nice to see later on that for once Felicity apologized for walking away. That was necessary. Because their problems are not only Oliver’s fault. Felicity also shares part of the blame.

OTA: 

OMG!! I LOVED that scene when Dig goes down to meet Felicity and Oliver halfway. The best!!!

Dyla: 

I'm sooooooo glad they're working on their issues and got on track. I gotta say that even it isn't okay that Lyla kept things from Diggle or stole Curtis' t-spheres, she was absolutely right in calling him a hypocrite, cuz yeah, he was... a bit. I mean is okay when Oliver and the team sent Slade and others to Lian Yu Supermax or to work in the Suicide Squad (without trial), but is not okay that she has black op sites to hold her prisoners? And she also was right when she told him that John has Oliver's back not matter what he does, but when it comes to her, his WIFE, he doesn't do the same. Fortunately, Dig is much evolved and mature (and MUCH less stubborn) that someone else we know, so he apologized soon enough.

Curtis: 

After this episode, I've forgiven him for ALL the annoying things he had said and will continue saying. I have to! We have to thank him for his little set-up that pushes Oliver and Felicity to have sex! I know that the end was painful but Curtis managed to orchestrate what we've been wanting to see for over a year now.

Adrian and William:

Yeah, I knew that would happen in the moment when Adrian showed Oliver the picture back on 5x17. And seriously?!! After all that's happened, nobody has taught William not to speak with strangers?!!! 

Something good that could come out of this is Oliver realizing that keeping his son away doesn't protect him from harm!! in fact, makes him more vulnerable.

Things that don't make sense:

Felicity's wheelchair conveniently in the bunker. Last time we saw that chair was in the loft, how it got to the Arrow cave and why?

I'm sure I'm not the only one wondering why Felicity was so cheerful in the Flashback (I choose to think that she was faking it, you know smiling on the outside and dying on the inside) 'Cause what the hell happened with Heavenrock guilt and all that?

Curtis turning lights on when there's daylight? I mean I get it if it had been AFTER realizing the elevator didn't work, but first? like.. why?

Oliver hitting his head (several times) during the fall and not getting a concussion. I know he's hard-headed, but Arrow writers downplayed his injuries as usual. Of course he had more than enough with the hole in his back, but still!

Post-sex talk doesn't explain Olicity attitude in 5x01

Oh! And somebody needs to tell me which lipstick brand Felicity uses, ‘cause after all that smooching and lovemaking, her lips were perfectly glossed (as the rest of her make-up)

Memorable lines:

"What's next for my favorite power couple?" --Curtis

"You know what he can't change? "What?" "That way he looks at you" --Curtis & Felicity

"My math is probably right, but what if it's wrong?" "Are you still Felicity Smoak?" "Yeah" "Your math is always right" --Felicity & Oliver (Oh gosh, he killed me with that!!)

"I believe in you" --Oliver to Felicity

"Hang on tight.... Not that tight. Not that tight" --Oliver (That made me laugh)

"It's not about not trusting you. I always trust you. I don't trust myself."  --Oliver.

"I've always appreciated you doing the salmon ladder but never as much as in this moment." --Felicity

"I'm not going anywhere." --Oliver

My observations watching 🎯 Arrow 5x12 "Bratva"

- awww "the Hood" in training... ooooh nice catch!!

- Why are they keeping Thea away!! 1 episode I can take. 2? I got nervous... 3?!! It's too much. WHERE THE HELL IS THEA?!!

- noooo Oliver my dear. Thea DOESN'T like her. Neither do we. Nobody likes her, except you, for an inexplicable reason

- YAY!! Quentin is back!! And in perfect timing I might add. Completely unnecessary the conversation of sleeping together. Altho, I'm glad that we have the confirmation that they haven't... yet.

- Damn! Not even Adrian likes the obnoxious reporter. More points to him

- Okay, there they go to Russia!! YAY!!!

- Oh Rene on guarding duty hehe. Oh c'mon Lance. Don't be that way. See! yay!

- hahaha Yep, Dinah. Aliens, metas like you, mysticism, parallel universe, anything can happen

- here the punch comes. *cringes* Anatoly, no!

- Seriously? Because of that?! c'mon Anatoly. you know he was against Slade!! not some low thug, please!

- nooo no no no no no!! damn it no!! *sighs* why are they do this to me?!!

- I get you, Oliver, I do... but please, please go to Anatoly and apologize, pleeeeeeaaaase

- See why I like this guy?!!! Oh Anatoly! I love you so much!!

- hahahaha  now Diggle is his fave American hahaha (wasn't you @nalla-madness that said something like this would happen?)

- What are you thinking Felicity? Tell me that you're going to visit Anatoly, please!!

- who's that?

- damn!! Dark Felicity "Bratva queen" Smoak is soooooo great *squeals*

- It's nice to see that, for once, Oliver is the one keeping the head straight and thinks clearly

- Rene got a point, Quentin. Susan won't be nice. Hear the man! Don't... ugh, don't go! *groans*

- Felicity, you know to whom you're sounding like, right? *evil grins*

- and talking about the devil...

- Okay, Anatoly and Oliver are back on the good terms (a little tense) but good *sighs relieved*

- yeah baby, they're going dark, so you need to be their light. That's all. like they were to you in the beginning. Just like Bratva. A favor is paid with favor. Just this time you do it cuz you care about them and not because they’re collecting it. Listen the woman, Oliver. She's right.

- awww Whatever scene that Paul Blackthorne plays is great, not matter with who he plays it.

- hehehe she had to say it, didn't she? what happens in Russia stays in Russia

- aww a much needed OTA scene (I need more!!!)

- Ugh! Curtis did you really needed to interrupt?!

- no no no no no no they can't kill my fave recruit!!! AAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOO!!!!! What I'm saying? of course they can!! *screams*

-aaaaaaahhh she hugged hiM!!!!! He's protecting her again!! more touching!!! YAAAAASSSSS!!!! *claps and grins*

- Oh thank god!! he's alive!!

- As always, Digg saying the truth.

- I couldn't agree more, Anatoly.

- YAAASSS!!! Anatoly going to Star city in the present.. yes!!!!

-*sighs* yeah that's the only part I don't like about the bratva. I'm guessing we'll see Anatoly again , in star city, when the obnoxious reporter is going to disclosed Oliver’s connection to the bratva

- OMG!! poor Anatoly!! What happened? yeah, that was what I thought

- ugh! this was totally unnecessary. Why they had to show it. It was more than enough to imply it. I'm feeling sick *gets nauseous* oh please, stop!!!!

- awww I like this. Seriously, I don't know why people don't like Rene

- oh, he's going away. Well, at least he's not dead! That's something *sighs*

-*groans* this hacker chick, I don't know, i don't trust her. I'm sure she's connected to Prometheus and all it's a trap for Felicity. (I mean it makes sense. Promy knows that attacking Felicity, directly and physically, will bring a much fierce reaction in Oliver, something he doesn't want. It much better that tempting her with the dark side to then exposed her. Here’s where the theory of Felicity going to jail comes in nicely)

- Oh fuck, fuck, fuck!!! FUUUUCK!!!

- I hate that's the reporter that makes the connection, but seriously it has been long enough to somebody to find out that Oliver is the Green Arrow. Star city's citizens are a little slow. just sayin!
