#but some of you hhhhhhh

[sonicpoorlittlemeowmeowshowdown]

Um, I’m gonna be completely honest (and this might sound a little unnecessary, but I’m gonna put this out there anyway): I’m much LESS upset Starline lost (it doesn’t really matter at the end of the day and I’ll get over it 3 seconds from now ☠️) and MORE upset people can fling CRAZY accusations at us just for the heck of it and still win at the end of the day 😭

Like- who said we hate lesbians and apologize for abusers again??? 😭

Obviously it isn’t everyone but it’s enough to suck all the fun out of everything 😭

*deep breathes* Sooo, those last couple mins from the latest "Full Moon" ep... lets talk about that🍵🍵

Welp, here it is folks... the ep that finally gave us that hyped up "Asmodeon crystal" exchange teased at in the S2 Pt. 2 trailer. And... hooooo boi, I have formed so. many. thoughts. upon rewatching that scene a few times. Some that are... kiiiinda on the rant-y spectrum the more I lingered on 'em, so how bout I share them here lmao

Fair warning in advance, this maaaaay not be particularly "nice" to Stolas in these rambling thoughts, so if anyone out there's a big Stolas(+itz) fan... yall might wanna skip reading ahead- lol .w.;;

*claps*

Okay, so to start things off on a (semi?) positive note, the animation & lighting here is quite beautiful to look at. The glittery curtains, the shine in Blitz's eyes throughout his shifting emotions, even the shots of that one broken chandelier (which I thiiink might've been the same one him & Stolas played under as kids?) was a neat bit of symbolism ngl.

Props to Brandon Rogers as well for his voice-performance on Blitz here cause... gawd did it hit me in the heart how much hurt you feel from his yelling ;-;💔

Curious to see more of the use of Blitz's new Asmodeon crystal in future adventures (esp from that one shot in the trailer w/ him using the portal effects against the DHORK crew), it looks cool~ ✨👍

....ummmm, ok I think that about covers my positives atm. Onto the problems I have with this exchange:

Stolas... okay, you were this close to actually doing a good job ending the Full Moon deal. Admitting to how "wrong" the transaction part of their dynamic was, allowing Blitz more "freedom" via-the crystal (that could also help avoid any legal issues that the Grimoire gave), even wishing him good luck with his I.M.P. business as the night drew to a close... ...buuuuut then Stolas just had to muddle everything up by his whole "even tho you don't have to be with me, I want you with me if you want it~🥺" ...which honestly came off selfish to me than anything else?? Like, dude... if you really ARE regretful of how long you let this deal go for, and truly DO want to let Blitz go... you CAN'T throw in such sappy, lovey-dovey words on top of that?? Otherwise, how can one blame Blitz for getting as confused & flustered as he was throughout that convo... you've basically just sent even more mixed-messages in the grand scheme of things, my dude-🤦‍♀️

"I have wanted you for SO long, the fact that you couldn't believe that I might have these feelings about you, that your first instinct is that its always about sex..." ...Ummmmm Stolas... did you seriously forget HOW this whole deal of yall's started?? 🤨 Waaaay back in the initial-series pilot, to the first official ep, and pretty much the majority of Season 1:

As far as I checked, Blitz wasn't the one who kept making everything about sex... that. was all. YOU. 😒Heck, literally one of the first things you told Blitz upon reuniting as adults in "The Circus", was that you expected he wanted to "ravish" you-

-so like, get outta here with the whole pushing-the-perv-responsibility-bs onto Blitz... you ain't helping your case >>

Finally... like, it was already getting bad enough by the point of Blitz begging & pleading out of fear he'd lose his livelihood without the book, AND not being allowed space to breathe after getting further pushed away (and thus, more pissed off-)... but THEN on top of all this, Stolas just haaaaad to throw in this lil gem: "Blitz... I think so very highly of you. I didn't realize you think so low of me..." ...Stolas, with all due respect... stfu with that lousy, last-minute uwu-ing self-pity party crap😑Just because you TRIED to show more attentive care & concern post-"Ozzie's", outside of the typical bedroom stuff... that ain't gonna prove shit if you're not gonna be consistent with it. Where was that "high opinion" of Blitz during the two of you getting stuck in the sitcom set during "Seeing Stars", when Blitz was having that panic attack performing live, where all you ended up doing was... just hitting on him/praising his bedroom skills again?? 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Like... couldn't you have just, I dunno... TRY to actually cheer him up/comfort him like an actual friend, would? Encourage him on his jokes, "just be yourself", promising another way out of there on his own merit... literally, anything could've worked fine and it wouldn't have come off so skeezy imho >>;;

...*sighs* so, yeah... thats basically what I had to get off my chest regarding the ending of "Full Moon". Honestly, had the writers actually committed to Stolas cutting off Blitz (even if harsh), giving the crystal with no strings, then going about their separate ways afterwards, I would've been totally fine with the scene tbh. But all this... odd lowkey-blaming of Blitz thrown in, the sappy words, and Stolas not once actually-apologizing during all this (Like, literally I checked and the only utterance of "sorry" seemed to come from Blitz's end before he got kicked out... for what, I dunno- 🤷‍♀️). Sorry for the length btw, but hopefully that about covers my thoughts on the matter-

So, by popular vote, here's that little girl from "Lost"!

Brownie points if you can guess who or what she is.

She is known (currently) as 524-A, and all I can tell you right now is that she is incredibly important to the story, and to Mewtwo.

She is not Amber or an alternate version of her, as "Amber" was someone... different, in this world.

But she is looking for Mewtwo. She has to find him, no matter what.

She's very small for her age, and none of that blood is hers. She's younger than you think she is, and she smiles when she's nervous, a wobbly little Deerling. She also, inexplicably, has a connection to the Heart...

Clean ref under the cut.

accidentally became emotionally invested in a fic that is inevitably going to hit against one of my biggest squicks and i have no one to blame but myself.

[tweltchy]

Hot take, maybe? I think someone's reaction to the existence of Kingdom Hearts can be a good litmus test for whether or not they actually really believe that cringe culture is dead, imo.

The point! of Much Ado About Nothing! is that once Benedick and Beatrice figure themselves out and admit to each other that there exist feelings! they are together for the rest of the play! There is no misunderstanding or Separation(tm)!

[painted-bees]

Aside from the scenes leading up to (and including) how Magritte and Raf meet Cortes for the first time, what are some other prose-y little scenes/vignettes you'd like to read about the Hi-Note crew?

(Like--in the same narrative style as the two meet-cute scenes)

laughter is the best medicine

Gon grins, winking.

“See, it shrinks like Bisky too.”

Killua giggles behind his hands, and Gon lays down next to him, pulling Killua onto his chest, as they burst into laughter again.

“WILL YOU TWO SHUT UP? SOME OF US ARE TRYING TO SLEEP!"

They hear Leorio’s yelling through a wall, and Gon looks at Killua and grins. Killua snickers quietly, nuzzling against Gon’s chest.

seriously though if you want to look into vtubers, or are looking for new or more vtubers/streamers to watch, or if you're just looking for something to watch in general, please check out the holostars. there's 10 of them in the english branch rn and they've all got such different personalities and senses of humor and streaming styles that its pretty likely you'll find at least one whose streaming content and community you vibe with. plus they're all very close so whenever they collab with each other those streams are always entertaining, and they stream with others outside of stars pretty often as well

since they're part of hololive productions that means they're also virtual idols as well, so if you like music they have several original songs and plenty of covers to check out! (axel and hakka have the most, octavio is catching up to them, and all the others have at least one cover each except ruze and goldbullet, though both of them are in armis' debut original and new year's cover (also i think one of them hinted recently they're working on a cover? but now i cant remember if it was goldie or ruze omg both of them i usually listen to at work so now i cant remember who said it))

also also the second generation, tempus vanguard, are getting their 3D models now, it's very exciting! bettel's showcase was the other day and is a very great example of the kind of show he likes to put on so check that out if you're interested (he was exteremly nervous at the beginning but did hit his stride by halfway through so keep that in mind, haha). flayon and hakka's showcases will be this weekend and are sure to be a blast as well, with shinri's showcase and the celebration collab with all 4 of them (and mostly likely some other guests) are going to be the following weekend!

Oh my god layla has dissociative personality disorder

Im like-- kinda miffed that "Awake" Layla and "Asleep" Layla dont really have a lot of interactions and that "Awake" Layla is very completely in the dark abt the whole situation

Hell, those around her have more of a grasp that somethings up with her

And i know, i know-- i know that "Asleep" Layla probably doesnt want Layla to know of their existence yet but like-- "Asleep" Layla is already so fine abt other people knowing her existence and, while helping "Awake" Layla out, just-- leaves her out to dry

Hhhhhhh I know that its a personal thing between the two of them its just--

Im just-- i dont have this disorder at all and i know that they did it as like "uwu tired student has a quirky gimmick" but like, im speaking this as someone genuinely concerned for a fictional person, i hope it gets addressed in the future or something-- its super unlikely and stuff but like, i really do hope that the Laylas get a better handle on their life and mental state
