it doesnt need to be said but its genuinely so funny how at-the-hip charles and erik are in krakoa like they really had the green light- the OBLIGATION- to be as obnoxiously close to each other as possible and abused that right to the fullest extent

i want to think that when Pearl gets older she's embarrassed by how she would ship people she knew when she was a kid and how she was basically trying to force them together (slight projection on my part)

full look at my take of a future Pearl design here!!

Love learning new things just like the other day someone said that, apparently, in order to lean on Miles' shoulder Gwen had to use extra strength and concentration cuz it's already hard to sit upside down and she made it even more difficult by balancing her weight enough to lean her upper body towards another person and it made me think of how she didn't hold hands with him which was way easier to do in that position but she felt so bad that she rejected him that she said "fuck gravity he needs to know that I care. I already fell for him I might as well fall down too"

Saw a tt from a girl where she was venting and she said "Just because you laid up in bed with him, until the sun came up, talking all night kissing on each other, doesnt mean he likes you even in the slightes bit" and I think that's so yeehan coded

Mario: Oh please

Bowser: We’re not children

Luigi: *gives them a doubtful look and leaves*

Bowser: Eat shit and die

Mario: Yes fuck you

This is my stupid little thing but a little lotta bit of how I craft my interpretation of Anya’s and Curly’s relationship is based off of what Wrong Organ retweets on Twitter because they don’t retweet anything like telling but it’s little things that make me go:

“Oh”

And then make me want to bash my head into my desk.

Usopp storms into the girls' room all panicked and anxious and once he closes the door behind him he stares at Nami for a few seconds before saying "I think I'm in love with Sanji" and suddenly there's a "YOU'RE IN LOVE WITH SANJI????!!!!" coming out of a Den Den Mushi that's definitely Vivi's and Usopp just stares at Nami with deadpanned eyes until she says "She's my girlfriend, dipshit, she was going to find out either way and what the fuck do you mean you're in love with Sanji?!"

I wonder how much the audience of each arc’s story (an implicit existence) affects how each story is told in monogatari. Mostly in regards to Koyomi as he’s the character who tends to tell these stories to specific people the most.

Ougi is a not insignificant recipient of Araragi’s second season and owari stories: mayoi jiangshi, shinobu time, shinobu mail, and yotsugi doll. Whilst being present for other arcs in other ways in a consistent manner. Though you could take Ougi formula as a more direct extrapolation of stories and traumas from Koyomi, just in arc form.

Regardless, while it’s hard to pick an audience for owari 1 or owari 3, but I could try and infer that zokuowari is told to senjougahara as it could line up with how monster season is told to her (especially with some internal monologue bits that would imply the recipient knows about zokuowari, like araragi making a comment about how “he’ll never cross dress again” in the novel version of shinobumonogatari, we all know how that went).

But also one could take the odd almost fanservicey moments directed at araragi in monster being for hitagi, like how at times Koyomi internally thinks about the kink sex he has with his GF occasionally when he’s talking with some women.

Of course some of this narration would be for himself, like kizu in most circumstances. Koyomimonogatari is a recount of information before Koyomi dies, so the audience while occasionally for another (like meme), is mainly himself as he dies.

After thinking a bit more on it I’d say that maybe tsubasa family and owari 1’s audience is Koyomi in the way Ougi exists. What I mean is that the narration of both is excessively negative in a self reflective manner, and Koyomi lying in the narrative is also much easier to see than usual as it’s pointed out directly. Though I could see an argument for Shinobu being the audience as a sort of mutuality of the story told by kizu. Or of course scroll to the idea at the end of the earlier Ougi section.

It’s hard to say who the audience of bake and nise are, if I gave a guess it could be senjougahara (as someone actively being told this info while Koyomi and her have study sessions), shinobu (in post as a form of personal recollection), or hanekawa (he talks to hanekawa a lot in bake, enough to get tsubasa cat to happen, however decides to do it less by nise, Koyomi likely told Hanekawa about the events of tsubasa cat after all so you could just say that hanekawa’s the blanket recipient of bakemono’s story).

I personally view musibimono as another one of those reflective stories, but it’s possible that after meeting up with Hitagi he told her after the engagement.

Ikusamono is of course a story told to Koyomi’s bosses.

Though Araragi is the master of his own actions I think it’s interesting some of Koyomi’s most controversial novels are told specifically to Ougi, I’d need to certainly read the novel versions more to see how I can extrapolate this info cohesively, if there’s something to extrapolate at all. Koyomi isn’t a good person obviously and literally does several questionable things but there’s a lot of white noise surrounding some discussion as some see every action he takes in said arcs as done with absolutely zero irony. This is legit where half of all monogatari discourse lies. People even try to pin intents on the guy that aren’t even his doing or his narrative intent, even scenes that don’t physically happen are treated as physical. This isn’t even a defense of why the character is secretly a good person I just think that people should hate Koyomi for what he’s actually done.

However because of the way the narrative is structured, it’s hard to extrapolate reality. I just think that a story told to Ougi by Koyomi, while likely fairly honest, would probably make him look bad. I say this especially with how owari 1 is especially reflective on Koyomi’s failures in the story.

I feel like I’ve lost the plot a bit but I’d love feedback about this idea or at least some discussion.

we have gotta actually finish the other account, it has been months and we want to tell revi that we're also plural hgkjgk

have just realised, with my characterisations of the gryffindor girls, aroace mary is stuck in a dorm with very romantically and sexually active roommates. marlene dating every sapphic around their age and bringing them to the dorms to hangout/makeout. lily doesn't really date much, but she snogs a lot of people. emmeline is pretty much the same, but when she does date then they tend to go to her dorm to makeout as well. and then my added hc about lily and marlene having a very friends with benefits type thing. and emmeline having a huge crush/one-sided rivarly on lily and lily snogs her to shut her up. like i'm suddenly feeling bad for mary here. girl is so sex and romance repulsed, other than with fictional romance which she absolutely loves. she is in dire need of spending time with peter (on the aromantic spectrum) and sirius (asexual spectrum).

Is Cat a Kind of Inntinnsic?

The answer, the one I'm sure the author would give, would be no. The story in no way treats Cat's Gift as an Inntinnsic ability. Violet and particularly Xaden don't act as if what she does is at all similar to what an Inntinnsic does.

But I'd argue it has to be in order for it to work.

Because everything is first person from Violet's PoV or a rare chapter from Xaden, I sort of doubt the author really sat down and thought of how certain characters powers would work. If she did, i think she'd have realized Cat's Gift would function similarly to Xaden's second signet.

Cat can manipulate emotions. We're told she can't force someone to feel something they don't, but instead amplify what they do feel. On the surface that doesn't seem anything like an Inntinnsic ability. Where things become more complicated is how she uses that power.

If Cat can't implant an emotion, then she has to know what emotions the person is feeling. Sure, she could just be throwing her ability at people and seeing what sticks, or it could work in broad strokes; emotions overlap, so maybe any negative emotion can be made increasingly worse, while a good one amplified into pure elation.

I'd argue though that her power doesn't seem that broad, instead being pretty focused. Violet was easy to read so it wouldn't even have been hard to read that she hated Cat, and Cat threw out insults during their fight to make sure Violet is more susceptible to her Gift.

But the Venin she goes after at the end of the book wasn't as easy a read. She doesn't know this Venin. She's bragging and boastful, but whose to say that's greed and not pride? Or even done as a way to taunt Violet and make her more afraid?

Yet Cat manipulates the Venin without much difficulty, seeming to know exactly what emotions she's feeling without any trouble.

There's also the issue where people are generally feeling more then one emotion at a time. Violet is always in love with Xaden, but she can also be annoyed with him. Emotions aren't something that are felt one at a time--so how does Cat pick which one to manipulate without knowing instinctively what they're feeling?

I think it's very likely that Cat can either sense what people are feeling, or even see it (I'm thinking sort of like auras) and from there use her power to exaggerate which ever one she wants. It just makes the most sense.

But if that is the case, similar to how Xaden can read people's impulses and intentions, Cat could read their emotions. Now, that's not exactly mind reading, but Xaden's power isn't strictly reading minds either, yet he count's as an inntinnsic. To me what seems to make someone Inntinnsic is that they have no outward tell or rule for using their powers--they can just do it.

Dain isn't an inntinnsic because he requires touch to activate his memory seeing. As long as he does not touch you, you are safe from his ability.

Meanwhile, what makes inntinnsics such a security risk, is that they can activate their signet at anytime without anyone's knowledge. Xaden seems to be using his second signet constantly to read everyone, and no one has ever picked up on it at all.

In a way Cat's Gift seems to be similar in that she can use it without a hard and fast rule. She can just do it. If it works by letting her sense people's emotions, she could be constantly reading people Xaden does, but instead for intent, it's for their emotional state.

Does that not make her power Inntinnsic? Or at least Inntinnsic adjacent?
