they honestly couldve done so much with junpei beheaded/dismembered and im disappointed that it ended up just being mira. so much of his character and his relationship with akane is characterized by his lack of bodily autonomy, and him being openly beheaded during the nonary games would be the ultimate example of this. its perhaps the most brutal death in the game, and it never really gets explained or developed beyond the one puzzle that we get with it. junpei has been shown repeatedly to be subject to akane's plans or follow her blindly and i just think that would have been a really interesting angle to approach his beheading from. junpei has willingly signed up for nonary games in two different timelines just because he knew he would see her. he was infected with a deadly virus trying to find her. he grew desensitized to death as he took underground jobs to try and find her. his safety always comes second when shes in the picture, and his beheading wouldve been a prime opportunity to 1. exploit his willingness to let himself die/be injured for her and 2. make akane confront the fact that her confidence that junpei will always follow after her is not necessarily a positive thing.
#zero escape#additionally wasnt mira supposed to be asleep?? like i know she didnt get the forget juice but didnt she still get knocked out?#but also!! none of her other kills were like that! none of them were dismembered and she didnt touch junpeis chest#so even that reasoning doesnt make sense#kinda feels like a copout to keep the shock of junpei being disrespected in such a way - to have his very body turned into a puzzle#a puzzle that akane is forced to solve!!! without knowing that what shes looking for is his head - him!#theres so much potential there and they just didnt do anything#im not even saying that akane should have somehow been responsible for that death - only that not having her really grapple with it is such#a missed opportunity#i still fucking LOVE the imagery of it though. i really think its the epitome of the representations of his lack of autonomy#he loses all of vlr. quark. 45 years of his life. because akane decides this is best for him. he dies repeatedly trying to find her.#because she believes that she knows what will keep him safe#and turning junpeis body into a puzzle posthumously is a fantastic example of his lack of control over his body#its like hes literally become a doll. hes jumpydoll - not junpei. hes subject to these games even after he has died.#he gets no peace. no respect in his death. not when hes in these games. not when hes in the shadow of akanes whims and games.#i still love the imagery. i think it was one of my favorite parts of ztd and is honestly now a core tenet of my Junpei Understanding#but i was disappointed in the lack of narrative weight that specific death had. for him to be one of the first dead? for it to be in such a#brutal manner? like come ON. the character analysis for junpei and akane and their relationship is RIGHT THERE. all you had to do was put i#in the game#but nope.#they just handwave it as something mira did.#and dont bring up the details ever again because. plot point solved?#anyway. ive been thinking about junpei imagery and bodily autonomy a lot. obviously.#zero escape spoilers#mak no peeking#marydontlookatthis

thoughts on this post?
my brain is broken trying to comprehend it honestly but first off, i think this person is copied a post from an anti-c//a blog and just replacing catra with glimmer.
and secondly, i love how this blog is called "anti glimmadora receipts" and yet there are very few, if any, actual receipts.
I'll make an exception and actually reveal the URL we're talking about here, because I'm very familiar with the blog you're showing me. Still, do not harass the person in the link.
No, yeah, that's literally it. The OP basically copypasted an actual post from @/anti-catradora-receipts and replaced Catra with Glimmer. Which doesn't even make sense since Glimmer never abused Adora. Like, the post says that, for instance, Glimmer kidnapped Adora. LMAO when??????
This is possibly the pettiest act I've seen from a C//A stan. It feels like they were mocking @/anti-catradora-receipts for making deep analyses that detail the issues with C//A. The latter was one of the first anti C//A blogs I found on Tumblr, and they helped me change my mind, as I'm sure they helped many others, too. But no, someone couldn't accept that and decided to make fun of people who were rightfully calling out C//A.
I'm actually surprised that stupid "A/nti Glimmadora" blog is still going. They're not even trying to prove why Glimmadora is supposedly bad, they just love picking fights with a/ntis and call the shippers lesbophobes and whatnot. They truly have nothing to do with their life, lmao.

It's really fucking stupid to me that the Raksura get violently murderous when they're in labor to the point they'll even try to murder their own family members because like, they still fucking need midwives. And this has been a feature rather than a bug since as long as anyone can remember.
Like, either they'd have a fucking system in place to knock the person giving birth out once they know for sure they're going into labor, or make them so loopy they're just chill the whole time with fantasy laughing gas or something, or...they'd evolve to not try to murder the midwife in the first place simply due to the fact that the people who are most violently homicidal and likely to *literally kill the midwife* would be the ones most likely to die from complications because the midwife who *could have saved their life and the lives of their children* is currently bleeding out on the other side of the room.
If you're trying to create a fantasy species of people and you're looking at animal behavior for inspiration, you...cannot just take traits of animals and transplant them 1:1 onto people and not think through how this trait would impact and evolve in the society these people live in.
Unless other members of the species are still actively trying to murder any newborn babies they can get their hands on, having the members of your species who give birth flying into homicidal rages when they're in labor is the exact opposite of evolutionarily fit. That is causing more people to die than it saves. The reason bears and crap don't let other members of their species near their babies is because the other members will fucking kill the cubs because it means less competition for /their/ offspring.
If your fantasy people are not literally still doing this, it is not realistic that they'd still fly into a homicidal rage when in labor unless complications with birth are like, completely unheard of and they never need any help or supervision at all, so there's never been any reason for midwives to exist and the mere idea of "helping" someone give birth is seen as absurd beyond belief.

you know what sucks? i can't imagine a future where i have a partner, much less live with one. it makes apartment hunting so much harder. i keep seeing all these options that would be ideal for living with a partner, but aren't viable for just myself. and yeah, i'm probably going to have to have a roommate, sure, but if i'm moving states that's going to be a bit spooky living with a complete stranger again. i've been burned before

Man, and I was just starting to enjoy Beyblade X’s story (aside from Bird/Robin constantly losing), too.
