I fucking love sponges man. I love how Not an animal they are with all their weird quirks and such yet still count because of their special totipotent cells and amoeboid cells, and frankly if I got to see a barrel sponge in its natural habitat I would either scream and jump and cheer or begin courting it due to my love of all sponges. Did you know sponges have spicules? They’re made of calcium and dispersed throughout the mesohyl as a way to help keep its shape along with the pinacoderm, just like an exoskeleton. BTW if I don’t get a sponge something bad will happen to me

hey omg i'm so happy your requests are open again!! i know this is a bit unusual so if you don't wanna do it i totally get that, but if you do, could i have some little!thirteen and cg!cuddy headcanons or a short fic? thank you ^^ 🦋

Ooooo of course!

Thirteen was the only one on the team to tell Cuddy about her regression beforehand for safety and liability reasons. Every single one of the others tried to hide it until they accidentally slipped at work, so Cuddy's reaction was basically "oh thank god".

Thirteen is the most well-behaved, polite sweetheart for Cuddy and Cuddy only. She likes to give House and Wilson a bit of a run for their money by talking back and causing trouble, but as far as Cuddy knows, she's an angel.

"They'll never believe you" vibes.

Cuddy started a behaviour sticker chart in her office for House's team ironically (at first) with categories such as "didn't warrant a lawsuit" and "no property damage", but it quickly became a completely genuine regression thing. Thirteen prides herself on having the most stickers and is in competition with Chase at all times.

Days out to the bookstore, bakery, or greenhouse. 🪴

Thirteen is a bug kid, Cuddy is not a bug mom. Still, she grits her teeth and smiles whenever Thirteen runs up to her and shows her a worm and buys her the little habitats.

Screentime limits, 100%, Cuddy's that mom. But they're pretty reasonable and Thirteen isn't a huge fan of TV anyway, so it works out.

Scrapbooking activities! Themed pages for the seasons, labeled with dates, they'll go out and collect colourful leaves or acorns and flowers and glue them on. Cuddy's got them all at home in a folder.

Lullabies at bedtime instead of stories.

may I request a little scenario with cg shinso and regressor reader where they're out of school and playing in the woods, like collecting bugs in a terrarium or pressing flowers n leaves? little forager

@cerealkiddie

Not-So-Creepy Crawlies!

Characters: CG!Shinso x Little!Reader

A/N: YIPPEE!! My first MHA x reader request!! Thank you!!!

You giggled excitedly, your little hands grabbing at pretty much anything you could find and placing it in the large plastic container you brought with you.

The container was see through, and big enough to have a mini habitat in it. You were running around, collecting random bugs and leaves, and placing them in said container. Your caregiver, Shinso, wasn’t far behind you.

“Careful, sweetheart, don’t run off too far!” He shouted, running to catch up with you.

“‘Kay! Sorry!” You shout back, pausing to bend over and collect some more plants, adding them to your container as food for your new friends. Your hands were covered in dirt and little leaf and grass particles, but you didn’t really care about that right now. You were having fun.

You gasped as you spotted a certain little red and black insect. You quickly waved Shinso over, “Look! Look!” You exclaimed excitedly, eager to show your caregiver what you’d just found.

Shinso bent down a bit, looking over at what you were pointing at. “Oh, a ladybug! Are you gonna keep it?” He asks, looking over at you with a small smile now.

You excitedly nod your head. You take a leaf and you gently guide the ladybug onto it before putting it in your container, which also held a snail and a couple caterpillars.

“‘Kay! Think I’m done now! We can go back!” You beam, standing back up. You look up at Shinso with a big, excited smile on your face, clearly proud of yourself and your little foraging skills.

Shinso felt his heart melt as he looked down at your adorable face, which somehow had dirt smeared on it. He gently took your hand.

“Alright, love bug,” he replied, “Let’s go back and get you cleaned up.”

[kamyru]

I - I'd have a steamy angsty idea for Tsugaru but I'm not sure if it could or should be written when we're nowhere close yet 😂 They could also stop because its not romantic enough for Tsugaru that already got his first kiss ruined.

Anyways how about Tsugaru is on a mission and gets kidnapped when he's overwhelmed. Momo and Mc rescue him like in that one cg where he's drenched. And MC is mad with him risking his life freely when they get home. So angry it turns passionate to make him clear just how important he is keke

It's okay if it's not authentic enough to write i just wanted to share my thoughts haha

Hi, @sterkeyra and thank you for waiting so long till I write this. I love this idea so much, especially because I wait for Voltage to finally give MC and Tsugaru some steamy scenes. However, I'm the worst at writing hot fics. So, it won't be a surprise if the result is a disappointment. But I hope I met at least half of your expectations. Enjoy! ❤️

"Don't ever let go of me" (Takaomi Tsugaru x MC) (Slightly NSFW Scenario)

Content warning: Heavy make-out session

Summary: Not a single case was worth of losing Tsugaru - MC was sure. And Little Hare had to make sure to show him this and make him remember.

Words counting: 1732

Tsugaru was shaking underneath the warm blanket Little Hare gave him. No droplets of water ran down his face like a few hours ago, nothing to announce his presence at the back of Momose's car. Still, MC didn't want to look at him, afraid to start hysterically crying, a step away from an entire mental breakdown. Not a word was said by the girl, all the discussions were held between the two former childhood friends. Momose had to check on her to make sure that she was responsive. When he stopped at Tsugaru and MC's flat, the Lieutenant pushed his colleague's shoulder hard enough to wake her from her trance but gentler than usual. Without any words, the couple left.

The Lieutenant watched how Tsugaru opened the door for MC. He waited to see whose lights would turn on. After less than two minutes, the windows on the last floor lightened up. However, the man was far from leaving. All that had happened in the last 36 hours flashed in front of his eyes. Momose bit his lip and let his head fall backward. He was exhausted and wanted nothing more than to be home in his girlfriend's arms. Yes, he had to call his girlfriend and ask her to come and drive him home. Otherwise, there'd be a big chance he would end up in an accident, too exhausted to see for more than five meters in front of him.

Between Momose's call and his girlfriend's appearance, were less than twenty minutes. Though, it was enough for all the flashbacks to run in front of him: MC's shaken voice, telling him that Tsugaru didn't answer his phone even if they were supposed to meet two hours ago; the pieces of evidence they had to put together to understand what had happened; Tsugaru's coded message he sent six hours ago; the sight of Momose's best friend bitten up and shaking; MC's straight face while they waited at the hospital for Tsugaru's check-up.

A knock on the window announced to Momose that his girlfriend had arrived. He opened the door and hugged her from the middle. In response, the girl's fingers found their place in his unruly hair.

"I can't sit on the driver's seat if you stay like this, silly," she whispered in a voice that unlocked the Lieutenant's tears and transformed him into a simple man. The girl looked up with a content smile on her face. She knew that she would cry too if she looked at her lover. So, her eyes concentrated on the lights from the last floor of the flat.

Meanwhile, MC looked at how the hot water filled Tsugaru's bathtub. She didn't even understand that tears hotter than the water in front of her were running down her cheeks. Suddenly, everything stopped.

"I didn't know hares like wet habitats," a voice echoed at the back of MC's mind.

A scowl appeared on Little Hare's face. She turned to face her boyfriend, and her fists hit Tsugaru's chest. The hits were soft and short.

"How could you do it to yourself?" MC started. "You went through hell and more, but why did you go alone?"

Tsugaru looked at MC's clenched fists that were rhythmically hitting his chest.

"It was too dangerous for anyone else. You could have died," the man said with a grin on his face, a grin that disappeared when his sentence ended.

"YOU COULD HAVE DIED TOO!"

Tsugaru heard it, and he hated it - the crack in MC's voice. The dam had broken.

"Can't you understand that you are loved and awaited at home? Do that people worry for you? That you mean more for others than you mean for yourself? You have no idea how shaken were Momose and Chief Shirogane during this whole time. We thought you died! Idiot, imbecile, empty-head, dumbass."

Tsugaru thought about stopping her from hitting him and cupping her face. However, the fat tears and barely audible voice made him change his mind. His fingers started to caress Little Hare's cheeks, wiping away salty hot droplets. The girl shut up and, for the first time that night, looked at her lover's face. Tsugaru pressed his forehead against hers.

"I don't know how to live anymore without you. There's no way I would let you go through anything dangerous," the man whispered against his lover's lips.

MC's eyes closed. Tsugaru couldn't bear it anymore to see crystals on her eyelashes. So, he closed his eyes, letting his lips meet her. The fists on his chest clenched his shirt. But he was too busy to feel it. All his senses concentrated on Little Hare's soft lips. Have they always been so velvety and inviting, or was it only the aftermath of Tsugaru's experience to nearly lose them? The tears that didn't stop running down MC's cheeks felt salty on her lover's lips.

"Your hands are cold," Little Hare said to end the kiss. Now, Tsugaru understood that her fists had left his chest. Instead, they were above his palms, cupping her cheeks.

The temperature on her fingertips contrasted with the one on his body. However, her lips were even hotter. MC kissed the bruises on Tsugaru's palms, closing her eyes every time. The kisses were long, soft, and curing. When there weren't bruises left unkissed, MC looked her lover in the eyes and intertwined their fingers while the other hand stopped at the first button on his shirt. Her warm hand touched the wound on his neck. If Tsugaru thought it was making his heart skip a beat, he had to wait five more seconds to feel her lips on the same spot. A pleasurable pain ran down his spine when Little Hare bit with her lips on his skin. Tsugaru put a hand on the wall to steady himself. He trapped MC in a kabedon, but she didn't care, continuing to unbutton his shirt.

A cold breeze tickled Tsugaru's naked front. However, MC's hot breath was there to equilibrate the temperature. The doctor told the team that their Captain didn't have any broken ribs. However, Tsugaru could spare a broken bone to feel as blissfully as now. It wasn't his six-pack that caught MC's attention, no. She looked at him in the worst state and felt like kissing every centimeter of his skin. When her lips touched the left side of his waist, where an enormous reddish-blue bruise appeared, Tsugaru had to bite his cheek and let his head fall back. He opened his eyes only after Little Hare's fingers slipped out of his hand. His unsteady breath didn't let him protest. So, MC had enough time to show him that she didn't finish yet. It was just too hard to unbuckle his belt with one hand.

Near Tsugaru's bruises on his thighs appeared red spots - made by MC's kisses and soft bites. Little Hare rested her forehead just above his scraped knee, which was visible even when his pants were still on. Her fingertips ran around the wound, careful enough not to touch the affected skin.

"Why did you let this happen to you?" Little Hare asked and looked up at her lover.

There were many things Tsugaru wanted to say to the girl in front of him. He wanted to explain to her how important she was to him, how he couldn't sort his personal and professional lives and send her on a dangerous mission, how everything was worth it due to what she did just now, how he wasn't afraid of dying, how…

However, instead of this, he knelt on his healthy knee. Damn, Tsugaru wished he had a diamond ring in his hands. There was no way he would let MC slip through his fingers. His now warmer hands took his girlfriend closer to him. One found its place on her waist, traveling underneath her clothes, and the other brought her nape closer to him. However, the movement didn't last for too long. It was easier and comfier to lean backward. Tsugaru didn't care that he put half his weight on his unhealed knee. He just needed it to be between MC's legs. He captured both her wrists in his hands. But it wasn't fair for her soft skin to be ignored. In a poor attempt to return the favor, he kissed the inside of her wrist. Little by little, Tsugaru's lips moved higher. When he stopped at Little Hare's neck, both lovers knew that they would have couple hickeys, but none of them cared enough to stop it.

Tsugaru's lips weren't soft, velvety, or warm, but MC didn't mind. His mouth was so inviting, so real, so close - he was there, safe and alive. She would sleep in his strong arms, not on her desk while trying to find him. Their fingers intertwined again when their tongues met. It wasn't a war of dominance. It wasn't a war at all. It was a date full of comfort and love. But it wasn't fair for the rest of their bodies. So, reluctantly, Tsugaru let go of one of Little Hare's hands and did what she had done minutes ago. Once in two buttons, the position of their heads changed. The need to get rid of the shirt didn't let them glue to each other. However, it changed when the clothing fell on both MC's sides.

MC felt her lover's weight on her. It wasn't the same as when he relaxed his head on top of hers, or when he leaned on her to annoy the young detective. It was a wanted proximity, needed for both of them. She felt how coldness was traveling from her waist to her chest. Fingers ran underneath her bra, and she put a hand on his back to get closer than physically possible.

Then, Tsugaru's hands left her other wrist and her chest. Little Hare knew what he was going to do because she did the same thing.

"The water is going to get cold," MC whispered and closed her eyes, letting the two shiny tears run on the tiles.

Tsugaru took a deep breath. He pressed his forehead on Little Hare's and stood up. Maybe it wasn't the best idea to die for someone. Maybe it was better to live for someone if it meant having this in his life.

"Don't ever let go of me."

Thoughts on the first Rebuild of Evangelion movie!

As expected, it was basically an abbreviated retelling of the first few episodes with what (I presume) to be a bigger budget. Things proceeded basically as I thought they would, and it was nice to actually see these characters I've been reading fanfics about for so long back in their canon habitat.

Animation was pretty danged good, though given this was the mid-2000s, the use of CG was...pretty noticeable. At times it worked well, other times it was clear that the tech still had a long way to go. Music was pretty good, though it did feel a little oddly mixed at times. Like there'd be this quiet, contemplative scene, but all I was noticing was just how loud the supposedly ambient piano was.

Also, I know it's unavoidable, but I do feel that something is lost when you have to kind of trim the fat and stick to the high points for something as depressing as Evangelion, as well as make certain characters a little more...unlikeable, as their plot-based actions have them being their meanest (Misato was a big victim of this). I dunno, I just prefer how the series let things simmer a bit more (though I may be misremembering. Like I said, it's been a while).

Oh, and Anno? You know how you got all upset about how much otakus fetishsized your characters? All those creep shots and more explicit nudity are pretty counter-productive, just sayin'.

Anyway, as I understand it, the second movie is where things start to deviate a little more (I assume that is when I'll finally get to meet Mari), the third is gonna go totally off the rails and hit EoE levels of fucked up, and the fourth wraps things up.

On a side-note though, one change I am not cool with at all is this:

Why the fuck is Rei's Eva orange now? White and blue are her freaking signature colors! Why orange?

dr. whale cg!lee jeno x gn!little!reader

genre agere content, fluff, slice of life warnings lowercase intended, nicknames used dni if you sexualize age regression wc 786

summary jeno finds a whale in his apartment, not to fear ! he's a whale doctor.

jeno finds himself stepping over you on the floor on the way from the bedroom to the kitchen.

“floor time?” he asks.

“floor time…” you affirm, closing your eyes and sinking your back further into the carpet. “nono, can you play whale music? the kind that goes like-”

you make a very poor impression of a whale song, your voice cracking when it fails to get to the low note far out of your range.

with a soft hum, jeno’s phone is hooked up to the speakers in the living room and it doesn’t take long for real whale noises to come out of them. the sound is wide and large, the vibrations shaking you to your very core.

“whales!” you cheer as you sit on the soles of your feet, hand on either side to support you as you lean into the direction of the kitchen. “nono! you makin’ whale food?”

“maybe,” he answers cryptically behind the counter. your only clue is the sound of the knife coming down onto the cutting board and it’s not very helpful. “why? you want barnacles for dinner tonight?”

“yeah!” you giggle and flop carelessly back on your belly, rolling around. “’cause ‘m a whale!”

“you’re a whale?” jeno’s eyes peer over the counter to watch you with playful eyes. “what kind of whale are you, gumdrop?”

“mmm, a blue whale!” your gazes meet. “they’re the biggest ‘n’ the oldest animals in the whole wide world!”

“biggest and oldest?” he blinks, shocked at the information. “but… you’re so little. are you sure you’re a big blue whale, sweetheart?”

“i am!” You shoot him a toothy grin. “i jus’ a baby whale still.”

“well, little whale,” jeno places the knife down to lean on the counter. “i’ll have you know that i’m actually a marine biologist. that means it’s my job to help lost little baby animals like you get back home. i don’t know how you ended up in my house but i can’t have you die on me so I’ll get you in a nice ice cold bathtub to remind you of back home in the ocean, yeah?”

“no!” you squeal as jeno picks you up off the ground. “no, n-! mr. bilologist!”

“no?” he freezes, dropping his head to the side like a confused puppy.

“no!” you laugh. “’m a land whale!”

“a… blue land whale? a land blue whale? what on earth is that?” he frowns, sticking his face close to yours to carefully inspect you. “are you lying to me? i’ll have you know i have a phd in whaleology.”

“’m not lying, mr. whalelolo-” your eyes shift away for a second. “mr. whale doctor. ‘m a land whale! you know how regular whales gotta come up out the water to breathe oxygen ‘n’ stuff? so do land whales! we jus’ get so tired goin’ in ‘n’ out of the water we jus’ stay up here!”

“hm,” his squinted eyes continue to scan for any bluffs before he nods. “my apologies, miss whale. since i guess i was the one who was intruding in your natural habitat, could i make you dinner? it doesn’t look like you ‘land whales’ let any barnacles grow on you for food or anything like that.”

“you may,” you raise your nose to the ceiling before going back to your regular state as a little ball of giggles. “thank you, nono.”

“you’re welcome, miss- wait,” jeno is back in your face in less than a second and you hold your hands over your mouth to hide your smile and muffle your laughter. “only one person calls me that… is that- are you my gumdrop?!”

his shock turns your tittering into full-on chortles.

“yeah!” your cheeks begin to hurt from smiling so much. “’s me, nono!”

“you were a land whale this whole time?”

“no!” you shake your head at his silliness. “i was playin’ pretend, nono. jus’ pretend!”

“oh…” his lips form a small circle and he nods slowly. uncertainly, he comes in to whisper into your ear. “well, that’s really good because… i’m actually not a whalelology doctor. i just wanted to impress you… did it work?”

his shy confession softly hits the shell of your ear and it fills you with giddiness all over.

“yeah!” you hug jeno’s neck tightly. “i always think nono’s the coolest. the coolest ever.”

“thank you, baby,” he coos, dropping his head gently onto your shoulder. “wanna help me with dinner now?”

“mhm!” you wiggle until jeno puts your feet back on the ground. “can you change the whale music off? ‘s creepy…”

“that’s what you-” he cuts himself with a lighthearted scoff. “never mind. sure, gumdrop.”

a/n sorry it's a little short :( i'm trying to focus on being more consistent with posting atm so hopefully the wc will go up with time.

[fairy-marshmallow]

This is such a difficul questions! How can i possibly pick when I love so many of them??

I’ll try to contain myself and choose just a few:

Number 1 CG that makes me feral and think very unholy thoughts

Favourite CG from his route. I’ve always liked the concept of handfasting so getting to see my favourite boy basically do a handfasting promise was just so sweet. He’s so happy and in love!

Favourite CG from his birthday stories. His face just looks so delicate, makes me caress his face and cover it in kisses, and seeing him in his waistcoat has me weak. Please give me more Arthur CG’s of him wearing his waistcoat

Look at how cute they are! They’re so precious! Without fail this one always makes me happy when I see it.

Arthur in glasses! It’s nice seeing him in his natural habitat. I want to put this one in a frame to display at my computer desk because seeing it makes me want to go write too. Also that lap looks like a very nice place to sit

If i’m not careful i’ll end up posting all the CG’s so i’ll stop here.

STOP AND SHOW ME YOUR FAVORITE ARTHUR CG

I don't think you know how hard this is for me, but I haven't done one of these in a while

I think it's the suspenders. I want to snap them

But literally it took me so long to find one

There’s been new research into human follicle mites and how their long term relationship with humans has lead to some unusual anatomical adaptations, as well as further confirmation that they probably benefit us as mutualists and some new discussion of how dependent they are on only human hair follicles as their habitat. But the article going viral right now mangles this concept in the most ridiculous way I have ever seen in my entire life of reading bug articles. ----

-----

First of all the word “symbiont” does not mean beneficial. Parasites are also symbiotic. Symbiosis is any obligatory relationship between two organisms, good or bad. The idea that “symbiosis” is just the “partnership” kind was basically invented by Spider Man/Venom in the 90′s. Second, living in human pores is not “internal” symbiosis. Internal symbiosis would be completely under our skin and in our organs or bloodstream. Third, they aren’t just now gradually changing into mutualists, we’re just getting new confirmation that they have probably been helpful to us for probably millions of years.

Almost every other article reporting on this mangles it a little further, and they all tend to use the completely incorrect images of these animals, too:

This CG model is unfortunately based on another mixed-up “science” article from years ago that mistakenly used a photograph of a caterpillar:

The real face mite has none of this anatomy, and is a simpler tubular blob-creature:

[mcschnuggles]

Do you think N would be a good cg? I'm asking for a friend.

Uh-oh!! You've unlocked that annoying part of my brain that prevents me from shutting up!

Yes yes yes omg!! Especially with regressors that have trauma/generalized anxiety. He'd also be very good at picking up on body language and helping them feel comfortable. And he would love to meet the regressor's pokemon friends!! He'd tell you how much they loved you!

I just think that N's healing journey would be very much about ending the cycle of abuse, whether that be in caring for another person in ways he'd never gotten or in being cared for by someone else. And aaaaa just the idea of him having to learn that humans aren't as bad as he first thought, realizing that the lines are blurred by caring for a person. He just strikes me as a very doting type of person

Also he's just such a chatty person!! He would take his bab for rides on the ferris wheel and then babble about how the mechanics work. Everything would come with mechanical fun facts! It would be like having a tour guide with you everywhere you went! Fun nature walks through habitats as he talks about the eating habits of the Pokemon that live there! Politely asking a couple of them if they'd be willing to come out and be petted!

And he'd be more than willing to listen to babbly babies with special interests! He'd take it as an opportunity to learn something new. Also letting baby wear his hat when it's sunny out :D

Ok ok i'm getting very rambly so I'll stop but those are my thoughts!

[onebizarrekai]

ok NOW I have time to talk about the v3 ending for a second and why the popular belief that the audition tapes were real is one of the most baffling things to me. don’t get me wrong, ‘pregame’ has the capacity to be an interesting au if done correctly, and there’s fun to be had with it, but the writing in the game does not actually encourage you to believe in its existence and it’s so odd to me that it’s taken as hard fast canon.

I mean, actually, you technically can check. I think this is the writing deliberately encouraging the player to revisit the prologue and see that the way tsumugi described it happening in the trial is not actually what happened.

number two, they claim that the prologue of the story began after they got their costume changes, which is also obviously not true. it started when they came out of the lockers in their ordinary school uniforms. (seems like tsumugi is indirectly trying to divert attention away from that point that the player has access to, claiming that it is not part of the story.)

shuichi specifically flashbacks to this moment. they go on for like three minutes talking about how everything tsumugi said could’ve been bs.

they literally end on that note of shuichi refusing to believe they auditioned, and very ambiguously too. they didn’t actually give anyone any incentive to believe what happened during the trial–in fact, they encouraged otherwise.

amidst all the ambiguity, the only lead the game really gives you is the one that tells you to replay the prologue to confirm where the characters can’t. the attention drawn to this particular inconsistency between the prologue and the final trial feels very purposeful, not to mention shuichi’s lack of belief towards it. the difference is glaringly apparent. like I said, it draws attention.

of course, they don’t resolve it at all and the whole game ends on a big maybe, but again, the only lead they give the player is revisiting the prologue. they want you to see how it’s inconsistent. the truth is not supposed to be set in stone.

there were a couple other things I wanted to mention.

one, prior to being refitted as ultimates in the prologue, all of the characters remembered being kidnapped. if they had willingly signed up for the killing game, why in the world would they need to be kidnapped? why would all of them seem so confused about what’s happening if they had knowingly auditioned for danganronpa? if they’d already had their memories wiped at that point to prepare them for new memories, why let them remember that they were kidnapped? it seems very convenient for tsumugi that nobody remembers anything from before they transformed into ultimates… but the player does.

even tsumugi’s explanation of the prologue flashback makes very little logical sense. if all of them really were fans of danganronpa in some regard, they would probably know right away that they were going to appear on the show; there wouldn’t be any room for confusion. if tsumugi’s account was even accurate in the slightest, and there was somehow some dialogue that was obstructed from the player during the prologue, it seems infeasible that it would take them so long to realize what was happening because they would have suspected it the moment they woke up in a dark, mysterious school and were asked to gather at the gym.

not to mention, why the heck would they show kaede and kaito’s audition tapes and not maki and himiko’s–y’know–the two other people that were actually there? it’s like this “evidence” was handpicked for the protagonist… oh wait.

two, ever since I noticed the implication that maki is not affected by flashback lights, it puts a whole new perspective on every story she tells in the game and even her placement and purpose in the killing game itself. I feel like this theory speaks for itself, especially when you take into account maki’s story about going to a convention (tsumugi in her natural habitat) to kill a target, and failing.

three, kinda.

all three of their school uniforms in their audition tapes are distinctly inconsistent with their sprites.

after I noticed shuichi’s, I was about to pass this off as another dumb artistic mistake, but then I checked kaede’s and kaito’s and found the same exact thing.

let me point them out if you can’t see them very well: shuichi has 3 buttons on his uniform, not 2, kaede has 1 stripe on her uniform and not 2, and kaito’s buttons are black on his shirt in his sprite and rather ordinary in the audition tape. also, shuichi’s shoes look light brown, even though they kinda match his hair on the sprite. the inside of kaito’s jacket collar is also white on the sprite, while it isn’t in the tape.

… I really wish I could say this is a striking observation and all, and possibly even intended to be proof that the tapes were fake, but also… I’ve made a post about the art inconsistencies in this game before. I failed to notice this one at the time, but v3 is not known for the quality and consistency of its art. a couple of kaede’s prologue cgs show her with two stripes as well. heck, the one of her being kidnapped up there is one of them. when I realized that all three of the audition tapes had inconsistencies with the official character designs, I got my hopes up a little… but we can’t win ‘em all, huh.

anyway, long story short, the epilogue implies one thing: it’s that 1) the prologue is different from how tsumugi explained it, 2) the player has the power to revisit it to confirm this, and 3) the game wants you to revisit it to confirm this, deliberately drawing attention to the incongruity of the two tales. the version of the prologue that the players see is not part of tsumugi’s grand story. last of all… it’s just my own theory about the game itself, but I think tsumugi was full of shit and the players were never supposed to take what she said as the simple truth to begin with, especially due to the narrative encouragement to distrust it.

it’s clear that the game planned for ambiguity and multiple interpretations and reception, thanks to all the ‘maybes’ it ends on… but isn’t it so strange that fans seem more willing to trust tsumugi’s contradictory account rather than the distrust of the main characters that has so much attention drawn to it? nobody knows what’s in the outside world… and that’s the point.

Genocide in the context of SU

“THEY COMMITTED GENOCIDE” is a claim i hear a lot when discussing the Diamonds, and it has always confused me. I get that some people really can’t tell the difference between dictatorship and nazism (both are bad, of course) so they call the Diamonds “nazis” and by that association assume that like the nazis they committed genocide.

first of all, aside from earth, we dont know how many intelligent life gems encountered in their galactic colonization. so we’re only looking at the only example we have: Earth and its residents.

second of all: What is genocide, really?

two things:

1. The Diamonds and gemkind in general are aliens, and artificially intelligent ones at that. they clearly dont see any organism that isn’t a gem as intelligent or even capable of conceiving complex thoughts and ideas. We saw it with Blue Diamond when she chatted with Greg. 

We saw this in early interactions between Greg and Rose.

 we saw it in the main CG throughout most of the first few seasons. and it goes on and on, every interaction between a HW gem to humans or other organisms is coming from that place on imbalance. Gems think theyre superior to organic life, and its not just The Diamonds.

2. Gems use the planets they colonize to create more gems, and promise their own species’ growth. They take away everything, leaving no life behind, just to secure their own kind’s success and survival.

Does this sound familiar?

Yes.

This is what us humans do to other organisms on our OWN planet.

We ruin habitats, to build new places for humans to live. We wipe out natural populations of animals for our consumption. we grow plants and raise animal for the sole purpose of our consumption. because to humans, the first thing that matters is to make sure our species survives, even if we lost sight of how much we consume, even if at this point the balance is thrown off significantly. All in the name of self-preservation.

Can we really point a blaming finger at the Diamonds, and other gems for that matter, for doing the same? the is a very human way of thinking.

Do you call the mass extinction of marine life by humans ‘Genocide’? do you think about it when you eat a salmon? are you a contributor, just by living on this earth during this time?

Listen, im not vegan nor am i trying to force that lifestyle on you. but this is whats going on in current times. we humans have consumed the planet, shaping it to fit our needs, and will continue to do so until there’s nothing left to exploit. we are the real world’s gem kind, but we cant move on to a different planet after we’re done. The gems view humans on SU the same way real life humans view something like a chicken. alive, but not intelligent, and therefore disposable for the greater cause.

What im saying is: ‘Genocide’ is not the right term to describe what’s going on with Gemkind’s method of expansion and its relation to humans. Genocide is DELIBERATE, not a byproduct, has to be done on a group of the same species as you, and is motivated by active hate and cruelty. using that word in this situation is belittling to any nation that went through an actual genocide. We aren’t like fucking chicken.
