Me when when I bomb them

Green haired fella is owned by my best friend:3 @j3110-cup go follow them shoo

[raddagher]

Arcane is over (😭) and I have some criticisms so here are my lists of who Won and who Lost in no particular order

LOST SEASON 2

1. Isha

Literally wasn't even mentioned after she died, like wtf was that

We couldn't have a memorial or anything? Come on

Her sacrifice was ultimately meaningless because Warwick got brought back anyway

2. Sevika

Didn't get a single line through all of Act 3

Where is my wife

At least she didn't die?

3. The entire Undercity, to be honest

Where did the independence thread go

Giving Sevika a council seat wasn't enough

I don't like that so many of them had to fight in Enforcer uniforms, that felt wrong

That was the MAIN CONFLICT for most of the show. It felt so weird to gloss over it at the end

4. Vander/Warwick

Gonna be real I wasn't super crazy about most of his presence here, I don't feel like it actually contributed much to anyone's development, except MAYBE Viktor's

We would not have lost anything if they didn't have the flashback scene with their mom

Super didn't like Jinx's ending as it pertained to him

5. Jinx

Hey I super don't like that every character who had a moment of suicide ideation or attempt ended up dead or "dead"

I don't like the way she "died" it didn't feel earned

I don't feel like the ending she got aligned well with her character at all. She spiraled and then just. stayed at the bottom of the spiral :(

They put a TON of family stuff in act 1 and 2 that didn't get resolution in 3

I think they kinda did my girl dirty I'm sorry

6. Loris

Clearly would have had more of a role if they didn't have to cut him for time

NEITHER WON NOR LOST SEASON 2

1. Vi

I want to say she won because she got to bang her cop girlfriend in a prison cell and the sex scene was good as hell but

She also was just taking massive L's the whole time

Like it never felt like she ever had any real wins other than that and that bummed me out

Didn't get enough time to be a dumbfuck with Jayce :(

Caitlyn

Didn't get enough proper resolution for her wonderful fascist arc

She felt a little dropped in Act 3 as well

Glad she got that Vussy tho, good for her

And I did like the vs Ambessa fight, that was also good

I honestly feel like Viktor and Jayce's romance was written better than her and Vi's, and as a gay woman who is constantly watching mlm relationships get so much more attention, it rubs me the wrong way

WON SEASON 2

1. Viktor (OBVIOUSLY)

The fucked up robot army. The religious imagery. The body horror. His robot alien design is scary as fuck. Absolutely incredible work

Got to be taller and stronger than Jayce hooray

They're canon. That was the gayest shit I've ever seen in my life

I do wish they had spent more time overall fleshing out more of the disability commentary, I feel like it was a little lacking in the end

Nevertheless BEAUTIFUL and HORRIFYING and TRAGIC

2. Jayce

See above

Yeah he also got to be a big hero and got to be resolved really well

Did NOT see his death coming that was crazy

They Magnus 200'd his ass, damn

He chose Viktor over everything I'm emo

They made a heart when they touched their foreheads together fuck OFF

3. Heimerdinger

Literally just living his best life

Love that he didn't tell Ekko he can't die, he just let the poor boy think he got fuckin atomized, king shit, that's hilarious

I would have stayed in that universe too tbh

4. Ambessa

The single tear over Kino. Her love for her children at direct odds with her need for control. Her arc was explored so well

Died a warrior's death at the hands of her brilliant daughter, I know that's how she would have wanted to go

Also was very hot in every scene. Good for her (and good for me)

She just got a lot of love from the writers and I'm very happy to see that effort put into an older Black woman character

5. Mel

Speaking of gorgeous Black women

I was so worried she was going to get dropped but her ending was SO good

Her glow up with the gold is fantastic, she looks amazing in the white hood

Love that they gave her abilities that would inherently change her priorities AND gave her the throne of Noxus, I have high hopes that she'll be prominent in another show in the future

They made her such a powerful badass but still let her be merciful and forgiving. Absolutely amazing. She is the wolf

6. Ekko (?)

On the fence about him

LOVED the au scene. Perfect

And I loved that our boy savior got to be the one that set off the bomb that stopped Viktor

But he was kind of dropped otherwise? Like what happened with his tree?

Generally wish he had more development and screentime in this season

But I'm happy he was so pivotal to the climax

AND I'm happy he got to kiss Powder. He and Jinx would never have worked out

7. Maddie

Haha I never liked you. Get fucked you horrible little bootlicker. Typical cop

8. Singed

How come YOU get everything you want?

Fuck you.

Basically all my criticisms boil down to it feeling rushed overall. It's clear that they intended to have more time, and that breaks my heart. We all know Netflix's reputation for cancelling stuff out of the blue, and I've heard that maybe certain parties were unhappy with the depictions of gay romance and realistic social revolution. Whatever the reasons, I wish they had a third season, because I think they could have solved every problem I have with it. Regardless, it's an incredible work of art and very likely one of if not THE best animated series ever made.

SCOTT PILGRIM SELF INSERT!! (AGAIN)

this is a redesign/redraw/rehaul of my old SP self insert from almost a year ago now! :3 hopefully some people will (still) be interested in them,, .. LOOK BELOW FOR MORE INFO ON THEM!! | \/ things to know about Charlie Cobweb: they/he/she/any pronouns, they have complicated feelings about gender still. - personally wise; VERY awkward, accidently blunt, impatient, kinda edgy, tone deaf, emotional, misunderstood often, depressed, gets heated easily, sassy, sarcastic, cant take most things seriously. - in a band called Atomic Robot Army as the guitarist. With Max ((friends oc/insert)) as the bassist, and Scout/Jeremy as the drummer. ((yeah, we put the guy from TF2 into SP..)) - also roommates with Max and Jeremy. - Max, Jeremy, and Charlie are all from America, and lived in the same area, yet went to Canada to try and 'tour around the world' as a band, but they ended up giving up and just staying in Canada in an apartment together. - the Atomic Robot Army band was started when Max, Jeremy, and Charlie were in highschool together, and Charlie suggested they start a band randomly, so they decided why not. Max came up with the band name. - very into Sci-fi and tech, coding useless things is a pastime of his. - if you want a movie, album, or show pirated, then shes your guy. just ask for it and she'll have it on a DVD or CD for you somehow, dont question his ways. - keen music lover, you name it they've listened to it. not a single genre that they HAVENT heard. (unless you're an even bigger music lover, then thats impressive.) - they also enjoy keeping simple little plants a lot, only indoor though. You'll have to threaten him if you want him to go outside and do yardwork of all things. - uses their electric guitar to fight (patches up their guitar and apologizes to it as if it was a person after.) - possibly romantically attracted to his guitar, she wont confirm this nor deny it. - he paints his nails often, he thinks its pretty fun wearing a different color very few days, though it gets chipped easily. - one sided hatred towards Scott Pilgrim, dont let Charlie near him or they will JUMP at him. - friends with Matthew Patel (also has a crush on him), Roxie Richter, Julie Powers, Stephen Stills, and Other Scott. - has electric powers. Purely emotion driven though, if she feels any emotion intensely then her powers start acting up, this makes them very hard to control sometimes. - he does weed but a pretty limited amount, mostly uses it if they're stressed or it just feels like a good time. They've also offered weed to Stephen a few times.

(GO CHECK OUT MY BEST FRIENDS BLOG AS WELL, THEY ALSO HAVE AN AWESOME SP SELF INSERT!! @atomic-star-fighter)

so, I'm back on my grind. I really apologize for kinda just leaving for awhile, depression hits hard sadly!! BUT I'm doing very good and I'm excited to be active again!!

Do you think mobians should be supplied nuclear armaments to protect themselves against Eggman?

No.

There are a few reasons why this is non-viable:

The Mobian state is basically non-existent. The most expensive/annoying part of possessing nuclear weapons is the upkeep involved with them. Who's paying for this? Why does ANY government trust Mobians, given the closest thing to a government that they appear to have is the Restoration (run by teenagers that cannot be counted on to act rationally during nuclear escalation). It's a major risk for basically everyone involved--including the Mobians!

Moreover, in cases of nuclear sharing, what we see most often are states sharing knowledge. Is a country going to train Mobian scientists to build bombs? How to enrich uranium in a reactor? If this country is simply handing over the nukes, and if this is really just to protect against Eggman, then it violates what we know about extended deterrence. The reason the United States put nukes all over Europe and in Canada was make sure their own allies did not develop their own nuclear programs. For example, if Germany armed itself, the USSR would have gotten pissed, so the US worked very hard with Germany to convince them that a dual-key system (in which both the US and Germany would need to give approval for the nukes to launch) was viable to protect them from Soviet aggression. They made similar efforts with Taiwan during the first strait crisis. Do Mobians want an atomic bomb? If not, they probably aren't getting one any time soon.

They would not deter Eggman. The point of nuclear weapons is to promise retaliation in the form of pain. All a nuclear bomb will do is hurt his robots, which Sonic has proven just fine of dealing with on his own. As the saying goes, there is nothing you can accomplish with a nuclear weapon that an army cannot accomplish with ice picks. Why invest is big ass rockets when Sonic can do the same thing?

Further more, if both parties have nuclear weapons, this does not - necessarily mean they will have a 100% deterrence rate. Eggman has never attacked the islands with nuclear weapons. Even if the Mobians have them, he can still get away with using conventional weapons. This is a result of the stability-instability paradox: if the conflict falls below the threshold of threat, as in is not serious enough to require nuclear intervention, then a conventional war will continue instead. Sino-Soviet border conflict is an example of this.

Putting nukes on the islands could cause another Cuban Missile Crisis-esque episode between Eggman and whoever supplied them. Especially if they are close to his territory.

Eggman takes over the islands ALL THE TIME. If deterrence fails, and Mobians don't fire their nukes, then they will fall into his hands. He's capable of making them on his own, but it probably wouldn't be awesome for him to learn more about the inner workings of xyz country's missile launchers/bombers/whatever. It would just make things more dangerousl

I could probably get more into this but I am going to stop now. To summarize, it would be a giant waste of time and probably not help anyone.

(ty for the question!!! its very late here so I hope it is comprehensible, i am writing this while sleepy lol.

Q&A: Naoki Urasawa’s Pluto

Ask on the subject of Brau-1589’s and Roosevelt (cont'd No. 2):

The impression I got was that Atom would have served in the front lines more directly if ordered, but instead was used mostly for PR. Having a 'young boy' on the front lines probably wouldn't have looked very good As for why he sent Brau, I would guess teddy might have anticipated Atom, but clearly didn't anticipate Brau. Or he didn't tell Brau to kill Teddy exactly, just stop him, and Brau decided to do that by killing him. Note, Brau mentions early on that removing the spear would kill him. That might have been a bluff, like the whole idea of him being trapped there, or maybe in killing Teddy he also killed himself?

Atom has a sort of no-kill rule in general (at least in other interactions of the character like the 2003 version), so I don't think he would've fought on the front lines. Based upon his conversation with Gesicht at the diner, he went to help the peace keeping forces around the same time as Epsilon being sent to do "clean up" which was after the war. In the manga there's a scene about the goal Darius has and tells Goji, “Use Pluto to kill them all! The five that destroyed my robot army! And the two that helped the occupation army enforce their so-called “peace”!” So Atom didn’t fight to kill the robot army unlike Mont Blanc, North No. 2, Brando, Hercules, and Gesicht. (Although, it could've been Gesicht and Epsilon who helped to enforce the "peace" but I don't see that as being likely). Atom wasn’t sent as PR by anyone, but people treated him like a “pop star .”

Teddy definitely wouldn’t see Brau coming, especially when he says in the manga that he was hoping Brau would join him. Teddy is all powerful (in a way...kinda), so there’s no way to stop him really other than killing him. I don’t know what stopping him would even look like though. That teddy bear creeps me out.

I think removing the spear definitely could’ve been a bluff, but the irony story telling wise, would be him dying/sacrificing himself to save the humans by killing Teddy, when, because Brau is the Blue Knight, he absolutely hate humans.

War. War never changes.

When atomic fire consumed the earth, those who survived did so in great, underground vaults. When they opened, their inhabitants set out across ruins of the old world to build new societies, establish new villages, forming tribes.

As decades passed, what had been the American southwest united beneath the flag of the New California Republic, dedicated to old-world values of democracy and the rule of law. As the Republic grew, so did its needs; Scouts spread east, seeking territory and wealth, in the dry and merciless expanse of the Mojave Desert. They returned with tales of a city untouched by the warheads that had scorched the rest of the world, and a great wall spanning the Colorado River. The NCR mobilized its army and sent it east to occupy the Hoover Dam, and restore it to working condition.

But across the Colorado, another society had arisen under a different flag. A vast army of slaves, forged from the conquest of 86 tribes: Caesar's Legion. Four years have passed since the Republic held the Dam - just barely - against the Legion's onslaught. The Legion did not retreat. Across the river, it gathers strength. Campfires burn, training drums beat.

Through it all, the New Vegas Strip has stayed open for business under the control of its mysterious overseer, Mr. House, and his army of rehabilitated tribals and police robots.

You are a Courier, hired by the Mojave Express, to deliver a package to the New Vegas Strip. What seemed like a simple delivery job has taken a turn... for the worse.

Calamity Kids VS Kaiju (Dib and Gaz)

*Pro

-Con

=Equal

(Both Dib and Gaz have a limited amount of time to defeat their opponents)

(They will both start their fights at 50% but will go into 100% to even the playing field)

Dib VS Gigan (Final Wars)

*Gigan is capable of flying up to Mach 3 speed.

*His Bloody Chainsaws and the buzzsaw in his chest deal slashing damage at close range, it is especially effective when flying at high speeds.

*His Giganume Cluster can fire multiple small blasts at his opponents.

*He can launch several sharp razor blades at his targets from a distance.

*He can fire grappling hooks to bind his opponent and bring them closer to him towards his saws.

*His tail is pronged and he can grab and hurl his opponents quite far.

-He's not safe from his own bladed weapons which can be used against him.

-He's also somewhat of a coward, choosing to escape and retreat if the battle is too much.

-He's shown to be an incompetent fighter, his own recklessness and poor decisions cost him his life a few times.

-

*Dib can fire a freeze ray to immobilize and slow down his opponent (Detainment at Sub-Zero).

*He can whip out a lasso made of light to bind and thrash his opponent like a ragdoll (Holo-Snare).

*Can generate several laser turrets to strike his opponent at long range (Membrane Cannons).

*His glasses can analyze and identify several of his opponent's weaknesses(Cutting-edge Analysis).

*Controls any nearby technology to create a robot army or even merge them into a whole mech (Dib Virus).

-Dib Virus is useless if no technology is in the area and can only keep Gigan in place for a few seconds.

-Cutting-Edge Analysis requires Dib's full focus and cannot fight and analyze at the same time.

-The Holo-Snare has a limited range and can only reach Dib's opponent at a short distance.

Gaz VS Monster X

*Monster X's throws rapid melee attacks with great agility against his opponent.

*He is impressively durable, able to take an Atomic Breath to the face at point blank.

*He fires Gravity Beams for a long-range assault and rivals Godzilla's Atomic Breath.

*If the fight is looking dire, he will transform into Keizer Ghidorah.

(As Keizer Ghidorah)

*As Keizer, X's Gravity Beams greatly increase in power.

*He is now capable of flight.

*He can siphon an opponent's energy by biting down on them.

-Monster X sacrifices his speed and agility after transforming into Keizer for greater attack potency.

-He is not impervious to his own Gravity Beams.

-If all of his heads (either as X or Keizer) are destroyed, He will die.

-

*Gaz can generate giant robot fists for close-range combat that she controls through VR controllers (VR Knockout).

*She can fire different kinds of laser blasts depending on the Zapper controller she chooses, she can even summon extra avatar shooters to create her own firing squad (Zapper Shots).

*She can throw motion controllers with nunchucks at her opponent to act as bolas to strongly bind them (Remote Bolas)

*She can summon any kind of video game character(s) using a small game console to aid her in battle, ranging from fighting games, RPGs, classics, etc, all depending on what game cartridge she slots in (Fighter Summoning).

*By performing different moves like a cheat code or fighter game combo, Gaz can grant buffs to herself or debuffs to her opponent. Such as giving her a boost in speed and power or granting her an impenetrable shield for a limited time. She can also make the opponent freeze, slow down, drain their energy to replenish or empower, etc (Ultimate Cheat Codes).

-Unfortunately, the fighters she summons cost a specific amount of energy depending on the size, their attack power, or both. The more powerful the character, the more energy they require before her game console's battery dies, so she must use this ability wisely.

-Ultimate Cheat Codes will fail to take effect if Gaz doesn't complete the sequence or if she's interrupted.

ジェットジャガー Jet Jaguar | Jetto Jagā [Size Changing Robot with a kickass theme song]

“It appears that Jet will be receiving a baptism of fire. I hope that you’re up to the task my metallic friend. Go and tell Shin Gojira how we say hello on this planet.”

After the events in 2016 of Shin Gojira’s raid on Japan, a coalition of nations including Germany, America, Britain, China, Australia and Japan lent there resources for a contingency plan outside Monarch and the UN’s jurisdiction. In a secret facility located in the unforgiving Australia desert near Uluru, Goro Ibuki’s size changing technology discovered in 2009 was finally put to use in Project Jaguar. Although the project was started in 2018, the project was fast tracked in 2019 after Biollante’s appearance in the Amazon rainforest.

With Monarch’s Antarctic Outpost 32 suddenly overrun with Shin Gojira’s mutant army and Shin Gojira in complete control of the MechaGodzilla Kiryu, all of Monarch’s Outposts went into lockdown as Shin used Kiryu to transmit a global jamming signal, now unable to respond to the threat causing Project Jaguar to be prematurely launched. With Yoroi Godzilla already moving to intercept Shin Gojira, Mothra, Anguirus and Rodan close behind, Jet Jaguar made his way South to assist the Titans against the Mutant King.

Having already engaged Yoroi Godzilla and blasted some his armour plates off and ripped a hole in the opposing King’s neck, severely incapacitating the Titan King, Shin Gojira was ready to kill the downed King near the city of Melbourne. The Stealth Bombers distracted the monstrous ShinGoji Kiryu as Jet Jaguar ambushed the half mech Godzilla from beneath his feet. It allowed Yoroi to heal his neck wounds however with his plates knocked off, Yoroi had become vulnerable and prone to attack from Krystalaks and Shin Gojians.

Jet managed to counter the now literal iron grip of Shin Godzilla however Kiryu's targeting system allowed Shin to target weaknesses in Jet's body and allowed Shin Godzilla to violently attack and pummel the robot mercilessly until it's right arm was ripped off and it's size changing module was destroyed.

This did not stop Jet Jaguar however, as he continued to fight on despite his handicap, somewhat impressing Shin Godzilla with his tenacity.

Height:

Varies (Tallest height is 95m)

Attributes:

Size changing module created by Goro Ibuki

Can punch, punch, punch

Can strategize and adapt to situations

Made of a heat resistant alloy, able to withstand Godzilla’s atomic breath and strength

Inbuilt speakers, so he can his theme for a dramatic entrance

Stronger when not in larger forms, the smaller he is the more dense and durable

Unlike most current technology, will not fail in extreme radioactive areas making him useful for nuclear meltdowns.

Can Punch, Punch, Punch!

Some say he eats sushi from a pail but that is blatantly something lost in translation. 

Personality:

Has a can do attitude

Positive and extremely friendly to anyone that isn’t Shin Gojira

Friend to children

Also a friend to Gamera

Yoroi tolerates him however Legendary Godzilla considers the robot a close friend.

Rodan also likes him which is odd considering Rodan doesn’t like anyone except himself.

One of the few robots that Dr Serizawa likes

Basically everyone loves him. Except ShinGoji, but ShinGoji is an asshole.

Megalon isn’t too fond of him either.

Profiles in Villainy 

Maximus I.Q.

The self-proclaimed Supreme Evil Overlord of the Galaxy, Maximus I.Q. has only one driving ambition: to rule the universe.  Operating out of his intergalactic citadel, Maximus controls a vast network of evil agents, including countless robot enforcers, the dreaded Blood Monks of Morbidia and a small army of clones based on the genetic template of Atomic Betty.  Maximus also possesses the galaxy’s largest collection of glass and rubber ducks (the guy just loves his ducks).  

The villain has been a constant thorn in the side of the Galactic Guardians and their number one agent, Atomic Betty.  Fortunately, Betty and her allies have been able to remain a step ahead of the cad and have thwarted each of Maximus’ many insidious schemes.  Despite their adversarial relationship, Maximus and Betty have occasionally teamed up in order to foil the plans of his father, Max Sr., or to recover one of his stolen ducks from the villainous Pandora.

The villain is voiced by actor Colin Fox and first appeared in the premier episode of Atomic Betty, airing on September 17th, 2004.

[nicklloydnow]

“Starrs (1994) makes the claim that Mishima's nihilism did not contradict his patriotism since both are essentially manifestations of his wish to eradicate his contemporary culture. Starrs asks whether a nihilism born of personal suffering must necessarily precede the emergence of philosophical nihilism (pp. 90-93). I would suggest that philosophical nihilism is a displacement of personal rage demanding annihilation but I also want to emphasize the psychological function of nihilism beyond simply obliterating what one abhors. It not only displaces archaic rage but enables the hated target to contain negative qualities in oneself, all those despised, embarrassing, shameful qualities that were likely derogated and mirrored by others. One now achieves gratification in evacuation and the fantasy of mastery, which is why the nihilistic rage needs the despised target so badly and would have it no other way. If Mishima could not manifest Nietzsche's amor fati (love of fate) consciously in protesting such a despicable society, nothing satisfied him more than the despicable society on whom he could replay archaic conflicts in the fantasy of having a nobler destiny beyond such contemptible traitors (cf. Asch, 1980; Kernberg, 1992, p. 23).

So how exactly could Mishima's society simultaneously satisfy his nihilistic rage as well as thwart his loyalistic fantasies? Despite how ludicrous Mishima's politics and suicide may seem to so many, there are legitimate psychological questions here: how could the Japanese embrace defeat so easily? One must ask with John Dower (1999) how people who suffered so much could not be stricken down by misery and despair, how they could embrace the West so easily and work tirelessly in the wake of defeat, cultural decay, the loss of their god and glory. How could they welcome servitude and occupation so happily? How could they transform from a nation of loyal and proud people into such obedient people willing to forgo independence for a robotic existence? (cf. Koestler, 1960). For Mishima it must have been unbelievable to watch what used to be a samurai culture so easily become a nation of sycophantic salary-men. Mad though Mishima was, I am also struck by how mad postwar normality is, how insane ordinary happiness can be under certain circumstances (cf. Becker, 1973; Gruen, 1987; Leifer, 1997).

While this hardly describes the sum reality of Japan, it still has not been sufficiently answered how a culture could embrace the West so fervently after the war - for misery, humiliation, and rage do not simply disappear. Many Jews have not forgiven the Nazis and resent contemporary Germans as inherently anti-Semitic offspring. Many Chinese and Koreans still resent Japan. Armenians still wait for Turkish acknowledgment of genocide. Resentment and hatred are expected - happy acceptance and even idealization of the conquering country are the peculiar symptoms. One does not expect a country defeated, mutilated by atomic devastation, its emperor vanquished, its laws imposed from the invading armies, to suddenly love its enemy. This is not only tatemae (appearance or posture). The Japanese idealization of America is no stereotype, even today. (I have found myself trying to convince Japanese friends and acquaintances for about two decades that despite their convictions, not all Americans are beautiful, not everything American is wonderful.) One must see idealization as a symptom and not imagine the love of America as the whole story. Rage and hatred must linger, even if some people are not conscious of them.

These feelings do go underground, and thus one must also ask how these are manifested, how such feelings escape, how these are masked under ordinary conditions, and how they are displaced and reenacted in socially "normal" or "abnormal" means. What misery, humiliation, and rage are repressed, what are inflicted within the cultural system but are perceived as normative, and what escapes in behavior considered criminal or aberrant? One might suggest that the culture inflicts shame and coercion as normality itself, that aberrant behaviors are only the symptom of how excruciating Japanese society is for so many people, not that ordinary society is in any way healthy.

The need for an emperor may not disappear with his defeat, in fact the opposite, and one might interpret the cultural suppression of individuality and moral urgency to devote oneself obediently to the company/society as expressions of the need to restore both sovereignty and an absolute ideal to guide and ensconce the alienated person. It is, as Fromm (1941) might say, an escape from freedom when liberty means anomie, the absence of ideals and a protective ideology or deity to which one can devote oneself. If Doi (1971) is correct, that the imperial family was the "spiritual center of society" (p. 59), that the Japanese were "His Majesty's Children (p. 60), it seems ever likely that the need for dependence on a transcendent ideal remains an intense psychological need especially in the wake of devastation, defeat, and upheaval and that this need is displaced into unremitting devotion to surrogate ideologies as well as social coercion toward submission and conformity to such doctrines. For Mishima the emperor was the solitary font and guarantor of Japanese culture, and he is eerily prescient when he asserts that without the emperor, the Japanese people could have no ultimate "identification" (Nathan, 1974, pp. 232-233n).

(…)

This book is not a study of postwar malaise, nor am I am arguing that Mishima was merely a symptom of his society. On the contrary, I have lingered on postwar phenomena to argue that the society Mishima experienced as emasculated and ludicrous could not provide the myth he needed to live. His culture perceived as having willingly submitted to aesthetic, cultural, and psychological degradation—could not sustain an individual in such dire need of an antidote to shame and weakness coerced so trenchantly, so excruciatingly in childhood. The samurai (and Grecian) fantasy was a mythic antidote for Mishima's ineradicable feelings of ugliness and shame. Among the complex motives for his suicide was a profound anguish that his society failed his needs for an illusion that might snatch him from abjection. As a displacement of the archaic need for love, mirroring, and protection, Mishima's world view itself was a symbolic immortality project, emotional rescue from the terrors of death, decay, disintegration into nothing, from weakness, insignificance, humiliating derogation, all those insults heaped on his final protagonist, too conscious of being worthless and inadequate for glory. Mishima needed a fantasy of immortality, strength, and beauty and found embarrassment. Would he have been healthier had he acclimated to such insane normality? He might have been functionally pathological and far less interesting as a writer.” (p. 126 - 128)

Adrien Won't Go Speechless

(forgot the AO3 link)

Adrien desperately banged on the door of his padded cell. He needed to get out, but the nightmares were so intense, so surreal, so horrifying. Every couple of minutes, his mind would flash back to the desolate wasteland coated in the remains of Paris, holding the ashened corpse of Marinette and donning the unnerving white suit. He banged the door one last time before sliding to his knees and letting out a couple of tears. Plagg watched all of this from Adrien’s shoulder, a mix of pity and anger coursing through his mind. This was ridiculous! How could Gabriel do this to his own son! He had half a mind to atomize this entire building, but the power of the unsuppressed Cataclysm could destroy Adrien and Kagami along with it.

Suddenly, one of the walls to the room started to crumble. Plagg quickly jets to find somewhere to hide and Adrien looks at the weakening wall with concern. A fist made of smooth black crystal crashes through the wall, completely destroying it. Two blue feather daggers flew out of the resulting cloud of smoke at the speed of bullets, one of them impaling the camera in the upper corner, and the other impaling the camera in the middle of the alliance robot.

Recognizing the daggers, Adrien stood up and called, “Felix?” 

The cloud of smoke cleared as if on cue, revealing Argos stepping in through the hole. Behind him stepped a 9 foot tall humanoid figure made of smooth black crystal with no hair and a singular white eye on the center of its face. It wore what Adrien recognized as a gi similar to that of Su-Han’s, but blue and white instead of red and black. 

“Hello, cousin. I’m sure you’re happy to see me.” Argos said. 

Adrien looked at Argos with wary eyes as he asked, “What are you doing here?” As soon as the words left his mouth, the nightmare came back, bringing Adrien to his knees as he clutched his head. Argos rushed over to him and kneeled down next to him, putting an arm over his shoulder. “I’m here to get you and Kagami out of here.” Argos explained as he brought Adrien to his feet. 

Adrien began, “No, no I can’t go. Father-”

“Adrien, your father locked you here without a second thought. He took you away from your friends. He’s taken you away from your own true love. That man is despicable.” Argos scolded.

“You don’t know what he’ll do.” Adrien retorted.

Against all better judgment, Argos blurted out, “Adrien, your father is Monarch.”

Adrien’s eyes widened as he stuttered out, “W-what?”

The nightmares began intensifying again. Argos explained everything that’s been going on behind Adrien’s back, that his father has been the menace of Paris the entire time, that he’s the reason Nathalie is on her deathbed, that he’s been doing all of this to revive his mother, that an army of Miraclonized soldiers are attacking Ladybug at this very moment, and the one that shocked him the most, that he, Felix, and Kagami are sentimonsters. That’s why he felt like he could never disobey his father. That’s why he’s felt like a slave his entire life. 

Adrien’s eyes narrowed as he clenched his fist in anger. He tried to stand up but the nightmares intensified again. He looked at Argos and slid off his ring. He handed it to Argos and said, “Take thi-Take this to Ladybug.”

Argos asked, “What, why?” Before looking down at the ring and realizing what it was. Argos’ eyes widened as Plagg floated down next to Adrien and asked, “Kid?”

“I’m not strong enough to fight off these nightmares, but Ladybug is. I won’t be of any use out there or anywhere. I might as well stay here.” Adrien said.

Argos extended his hand to take the ring, but after a moment of hesitation, he changed his mind, instead closing Adrien’s hand around the ring and pushing it into his chest. “The world needs Chat Noir just as much as it needs Ladybug. I’m going to go get Kagami, but you need to fight the nightmares, you need to transform.” Argos said before turning to the sentimonster standing in the corner.

“Helio, follow me.” Argos said. The sentimonster nodded and the two began walking out of the room. Before the sentimonster left the room, it locked eyes with Adrien and gave him a supporting gaze with its singular eye. 

It then left the room, leaving Adrien and Plagg alone. Plagg said, “You heard him, Adrien. Transform. Please.” Adrien whimpered, “I’m sorry, Plagg, I ca-AAAAAAAAAAGH!” The nightmares got even more intense and surreal than they were before. Pain spread through the entirety of his head. He clutched his hair and closed his eyes, trying to bear the pain. Soon, it subsided and he opened his eyes to see that he was back in the wasteland, standing on the top of a building and looking down at the chaos. He saw himself kneeling down on the ground, holding the same ashened corpse. Confusion filled his mind as he looked to the right and saw a giant ripple of sea water making its way through Paris. 

Here comes a wave meant to wash me away, designed to start pulling me under. 

He watched the wave wash over the other him and coat the rest of the destroyed city.

Broken again, left with nothing to say, my voice drowned out in the thunder.

He blinked and found himself at the front steps of Francois Dupont. Adrien reeled back in shock as he watched himself running up the steps of the school. The other him stopped halfway and turned around to look at…Nathalie!? And then Adrien realized that this is one of his memories. As the familiar argument ensued, Adrien turned to see Master Fu laying on the ground. It felt good to see Fu again, he’d never even heard any more of Fu after Miracle Queen.

Try to resist, but I’m just isolated.

The other him ran down the stairs to go help Fu, and Adrien smiled. He was forever thankful for this moment. The moment that began the legacy of Chat Noir and granted him that small taste of freedom.

I can’t assist, so forget me and let me drown.

With another blink, he was taken to the front room of the mansion. His home. 

I wait in silence, hope on the horizon.

Adrien slowly trudged up the steps. He tried to feel the guard rail, but his hand just went right through it. He continued trudging as he looked at the picture of him and his father at the top of the steps. 

Let it be, don’t riot. It’s too late, just go lay there speechless. 

He walked towards his room door.

It’s paining, I feel my weak heart aching.

Adrien phases through his room door to spread his gaze across his wide and spacious bedroom. Many would’ve called this place heaven, but especially now, it and the rest of the mansion felt like another prison.

I hear her screams, m’lady. It’s my fate, so I’ll wait here speechless.

He blinked and found himself inside of the school. He saw another him walking to class with Nino, Marinette, and Alya walking with him.

Every order, arrangement, contract. 

Another blink and he was standing at the back of his full and lively classroom, watching the other his classmates talk excitedly. 

Said from the mouth of another. 

He slowly looked over the bright smiles of his classmates, and stopped when he saw the radiant shine of Marinette’s beautiful expression. 

Every scream from the selfishest quest.

He blinked and found himself in his father’s work room, facing the portrait of his mother.

To fruitlessly bring back my mother. 

He ran his hand across the painting.

Would she be proud of what he’s doing?

In the blink of an eye, he was taken to another memory, one of a much younger Adrien holding his mother’s hand while she laid on the bed and stared at the ceiling. 

Would she believe that this was for the best?

He was then transported to the top of another building, staring down at an undestroyed Paris. He looked to his left and saw Ladybug standing next to him. He looked down at his hands and realized he was Chat Noir. A cloud of smoke erupted from the bottom of the Eiffel tower and Ladybug started swinging towards it. A smile spread across Chat Noir’s face as he ran and leaped over the rooftops.

I can’t be silenced, can’t keep up this abiding.

He vaulted across the sky, feeling like he was walking on clouds.

Can’t tremble when he tries it. I will rise, no more crying speechless. Speechless!

He landed on the ground in the middle of a crowd of humanoid figures made of solid black energy. They rushed at him and started to battle them all.

So I’ll bleed, like those he came before me! I’m half of what the world needs! 

With one final attack, he knocked the last of the figures to the floor. The ground beneath him started to crumble.

Better late than to lay here speechless!

The ground crumbled, causing him to fall into a pitch black void. He twirled his staff above him to slow his descent. 

You can’t order me around, and I won’t back down and comply!

He landed on some invisible platform. 

I will take these rusted claws and cut these frayed and wethered ties!

Suddenly, all sound cut out as Chat Noir turned around and eyed a levitating blue string. It ran for miles and seemed to be connected to nothing, but something inside him knew what it was. It was a physical manifestation of the magical bond that linked him to his father, or rather, his father’s ring. His eyes narrowed as he held his hand up in the air and roared out, “Cataclysm!” 

Instead of the normal black bubbles, a solid mass of black energy formed in his palm. It grew, and twisted, and changed shape around his hand until it formed sharp claws radiating with destructive black light. He stared down the line swinging his claws at the string.

Hear the echoes screaming out!

The claws impacted the string and severed it completely. The moment the string was cut, Adrien was blasted back to real life. It felt like a myriad of strings had been detached from his body. All except one.

Plagg looked at Adrien with concern and anticipation. The young Agreste stood up, raised his fist in the air, and roared, “Plagg, Claws Out!” 

I won’t be silent! 

The kwami flew into the ring just as another Alliance robot rolled into the room. Green lightning crawled across his body, forming into his suit. Except it’s different from his normal suit. There are sharp silver accents over it, as well as thick black and neon green boots and gloves with clawed tips. His normal belt was replaced by what looked like a utility belt with a gold cat’s head shaped buckle, and attached to the back of this belt was a wider black rectangular tail-like attachment with a golden circle and neon green tassels at the end of it. 

Out there’s a life without you, and I’ll find it! It’s my fate, I won’t wait here speechless! Speechless!

Chat Noir raised his hand in the air and yelled, “Mega Cataclysm!” A pillar of black energy erupted from his hand, piercing through the ceiling. He lowered his hand, and the beam along with it. The beam acted as a sword as he pulled it in a circle and cut the building in half horizontally. 

I’m breaking, my freedom I’ll be taking, I’ll be there to help my lady! 

The top half of the building crumbled to debris. Chat Noir pulled out his staff and vaulted himself through the destroyed roof.

Cause I know that I won’t go speechless! All I know is I won’t go speechless! Speechless!

He vaulted into the skies as Argos and Kagami watched from the roof of a nearby building.

Wrong

Word count: 849

Spoilers of Into and Across the Spider verse. (I can't express my love for these masterpieces that have blessed humanity)

Summary: All right let's do this one last time. Black Spider aka Felicia Hardy and formally known at Black Cat voices her disagreement of Miguel's of doing things. Story idea that most likely has grammatical errors. Let me know. Feel free to comment, like, and enjoy.

Rated: PG-13 Angst, language, mentions of violance, injury and blood.

"It's bullshit!"

"Margo, Lyla, prepare the machine."

"On it," the usually sunny yellow hologram replies.

"Why?" the teen asks meekly, daring to take a step toward the spider on the trail. Standing alone under the scrutinizing spotlight while others looked on in the shadows. Animated eyes of varying styles wincing and wide in shock. The teen freezes at the lead Spider-Man high on his perch and shoots her a threatening glare to freeze her in place. "Right on it," she squeaks.

"I’m right, ain’t I?"

"Black Spider,"

"You know I’m right," she gasps, her breath picking up.

"Felicia Hardy is hereby disbanded from the spider society."

An eruption of gasps sounds.

"Miguel, you can’t do this; please listen--"

She bites her tongue at the lead spider-man leaping from his hovering platform and landing inches from her. He towers over her. Her eyes stared into the red skull of the spider on his chest.

"I did listen!" he seethes, fangs bared and red eyes glowing through the shadow his brows cast. "And look what happened. Anomalies, incursions, and the possibility of the total collapse of the universe, multiverse, and reality, life as we know it."

"We're not the chosen ones, not by fate or some higher fuckin’ power placing shitty circumstances to teach us some lesson!" she heaves. Seeing she wasn’t breaking through with the leader, frantic eyes looked to the frightened ones around her. "Life just sucks." she says, reaching out and stepping over for the others to join her with pleading eyes that this was wrong. The enforcing rules on others just because we deem it so. The control of ensuring the canon. A dictatorship.

She glitches out, clenching her stomach and falling to the floor, crying out in pain. The swarm of spiders scattered. Scurrying away from her like a plague, leaving her again alone in the light. Her atoms stabilized, and she peeled herself off the floor.

"Life is cold and cruel, and it doesn't have a reason why we’re the ones to get the biggest serving." She catches her breath, lifting her head and turning to face the lead spider head on. "Please Miguel," she tries one more time.

"Don’t make this harder than it has to be."

"All set, sir!" Margo calls.

"I’m sorry," he says in a whisper.

"Sure you are." She smiles, seeing a small glimmer of hurt in his eyes. A robotic roar sounds, drawing everyone’s attention to the robotic spider walking over its web from above. Beginning her march, she glitches, stumbling over her feet. Miguel goes for her wrist. Within an instant, she strikes it. Gripping his wrist and digging her claws, making sure to leave a mark before shoving his hand away. An army of hands grabbed her limbs, lifting her up and grabbing her flailing legs, placing her on a platform that began to glow. Building a web around her. Miguel swings over, watching the wall form between them. "Dimension Lock. Countdown Sequence Commence."

"Say something?" he begs. He never begs. The terrifying Spider-Man 2099, the neon devil, The blade runner meets the Boogeyman. Looking at the small woman. Her suit was covered in dirt and tears. Three claw stripes across her face. Blood-like tears down her chin.

"3"

"With great power…" she sighs, finally looking up at the lead spider.

"2"

Her eyes filled with determination, and she lifted her arm to show a wrist watch. His watch. Miguel’s eyes widened as he looked at his own wrist, finding it bare.

"1."

"Comes with great responsibility." she ends. The glowing web's containment completes, and the room flashes with light.

--Brooklyn 1610--

"YO!" she shouts up, standing outside an apartment building. After waiting a few moments, the window opens.

"Buzz the bell!" Aaron calls down.

"I did."

"Must be out again."

"No, shit Sherlock!" lifting her arms and dropping them to her sides.

"Miles is coming down, babe," he assures.

"Hey, Auntie Fee," he greets a woman with white dreadlocks half tied in a messy bun half down. Opening the door for the woman.

"Hey, Miles." She struggles to get a hold of the white thank you bags at her feet.

"Are you cooking tonight? Is it pork chops? Collard greens, Crawfish étouffée—"

"Boy! I'm gonna Etouffee upside yo' head if you don't help me with the bags."

He chuckles sheepishly. Taking half the bags leading the way up the stairs.

"Shrimp Etouffee. Your mama has been asking, so make sure you bring her a bowl."

"I will."

"You better."

"I will."

"She said she never got any the last time."

"I dunno… the hospital… late nights… she forgets."

"Has Uncle Aaron done the shoulder touch with you?"

"The what?" She snorts.

"The shoulder touch." Aaron says, placing a hand on her shoulder. "Hey," he says seductively.

"Why are you talking like that? Drink some water; you sound like you're getting a sore throat, and I don't wanna catch it."

She shrugs his hand off.

Miles laughs, spitting up his drink.

"Whatcha laughing at, nephew?" He scolds. Flicking a spoonful of rice at Miles' face.
