The one and only King Spade ♠️👑

SPADES

I did lightning bolts this time >:D.

Gonna explain the question marks just like I did with the Lancer one.

"Has done nothing wrong (is a war criminal)"... um in all honesty the only reason I marked this with a question mark is because we don't ACTUALLY know if Spade King is a war criminal, but I mean he DID attempt to kill Susie, Kris, and Ralsei, so uh... take with that what you will :P.

I would say Spade King is pretty complex and well-written despite him not having much screentime, BUT I DON'T WANT TO MF SKIN THIS GUY EITHER WTAF BLORBO BINGO???

Next, lost potential. Again, we can't know for sure how Spade King will turn out by the end of the game, but it ain't looking too great right now. The man is literally locked in a cell until further notice. Not saying he DOESN'T have potential but the game does need to do things differently in order for Spade King to keep that potential.

"Stop putting them in situations"... this is the EXACT same scenario as Lancer I won't lie. If this is only talking about the not... favorable situations, then hell yeah, I'd mark it. But without proper context I assume this means ALL situations, and again, um... yeah I dunno xP.

Thanks for the ask againnnnnnnn :>

Week in Review

11/10/2024 – 11/16/2024

Sunday

Week 40 of missing Cipher Academy

Love Live Superstar Episode 6 MADE ME CRY AGAINNNNNNNN KEKE MY BABYYYYYY YOU’RE WORKING SO HARD FOR YOUR DREAMS AND I’M GLAD YOU DECIDED TO PURSUE IT WHOLEHEARTEDLY I LOVE YOUUUUUU AND THE NEW SONG IS SO GOOOOOOOOOOD IT’S LIKE IT WAS MADE JUST FOR ME Now I just need them to give me at least a clean version of the 30 seconds of acoustic Hoshizuku Cruising on the season 3 OST CD and I’ll be satisfied and set for life. Please Bushiroad. (Also the parallels between Keke’s story and Liyuu’s real life journey to become a seiyuu and idol in Japan makes me emotional to think about…)

Monday

Undead Unluck good!!!!! UNDEAD UNJUSTICE… What an amazing parallel. Tozuka’s always been good at parallels and foils and call backs, but this is just so peak.

Tuesday

Landed back home and had to sleep for like forty hours to recover

Wednesday

Oshi no Ko finally ended and man…it feels so far from the manga I initially read and felt excited for. All I can really say at this point is LMAOOOOOO I was taken in by its seemingly down to earth take on the ins and outs of the Japanese entertainment industry with a dash of social commentary about parasociality, but the finale just devolved into unbelievable melodrama and I had to check out at that point. I don’t know, for a story supposedly about the “dark side of the industry,” it never felt like it was really examining and interrogating any systemic issues; instead it all boiled down to a few bad actors (with baffling motivations), and a final thesis you could find in any basic idol show. It hurts because I was really really into this story at the beginning, but with this flop of an ending I’m going to have to give it a 3/10.

Hung out with a friend and caught up on some Dropout shows. First we watched the Make Some Noise episode with Jess, Ross, and Geoff and it was decently funny. Then we started watching Gastronauts, and I honestly love this show so much… I love cooking competition shows already, and seeing Dropout put their own spin on it is so much fun. I love that the challenges are purposely ridiculous and out of the box – I like to imagine that the chefs had a good time flexing their creativity rather than just exhibiting their skills in a straightforward head to head. And then all the food looked sooooooooooooooooooo good it was honestly driving me a little insane. I’m really going to look forward to new episodes of this on a regular basis.

Thursday

Read the latest chapter of Ascendance of a Bookworm Part 2 and man this series is so much more fun when I can binge the whole thing…when will I learn… But this was a cute chapter regardless, just doing a bunch of testing and inventing.

Read the entirety of I Want to be a Wall in one sitting and it’s cute! As with most Yen Press queer manga pick-up’s, it’s kind of baby’s first introduction to its central topics of asexuality and marriage inequality, but it was nice to see it explored from the perspective of these adults with their various familial and social pressures (the stuff about the stigma of not having kids really got to me). It got a tad melodramatic for me towards the end, but it was sweet enough that I’ll let it slide. 7/10.

Caught up on One Piece because I heard that bangs Robin was back AND SHE DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!!!!!! I MISSED HER BANGS SOOOO MUCH and it’s kind of a relief to finally start a brand new arc, I’m going to do my best to pay attention and remember things this time as things develop lol I love the Norse mythology theming and whatever Loki’s got going on, but I hope this giant tree with its various levels isn’t just a retread of Impel Down.

I read Itou-san on a random Twitter recommendation for dark yaoi and just felt underwhelmed lol Maybe it was a pioneer in its time, but to me it just felt like the most generic edgy romance story in the world. It was like a teenager’s conception of what a whirlwind romance with an assassin would be like (coupled with a teenager’s conception of what a super duper evil assassin organization would be run like), and it just didn’t compel me. Unfortunately I’ll be giving it a 2/10.

hhhhhggrrrmmhhhgggggggg aaaaaaa ok i got on in this white hell box to start slamming rvb s15 but that ep10 was so good!!!!!!! click below to watch me go back and forth on this topic for like 5or10 paragraphs lmao!!!!!!!!!

ok so lemme start with things i like which 

1). UHG??? that beach scene!!!!!!! perfect amazing perfection everything ive ever wanted???!!!!????!!!! they held hands im literally crying my hands were over my face the whole time like!!!!!!! AAAAAA so that was great

2). i........ like temple. even tho i got spoiled about him being a villain  i still thought the reveal was good and i have such a soft spot for smarmy yandere style “im gonna emotionally torture u :)” villains. it also probably doesnt help that i love and miss church so hes a fun stand in on that front AS WELL AS a stand in as tuckers new evil boyfriend now that felix is a pancake

2.5). unrelated but did we get confirm on felix being dead??? he aint dead til i see a body jussaiyin...

3). i have mixed feelings on church coming back that ill get into but church is maybe my favorite character so ultimately i view that as a plus?

4). i really put this one off cuz i was still reeling over this newest episode but all the potential grif development (and by extension red team development as a whole) that looks like its gonna happen this season has got me bittin the pillow like i kid u not im on the edge of my seat fam

ok but like. now onto the real shit. (THIS GOT SO LONG SHIT)

the one thing that is really REALLY holding me back from fully enjoying this season is wanting to know what the crews fuckin intentions are with this show. like. im gonna go ahead and put my hat on the fuckin table or whatever but season 13 was an ending. it was  good fucking ending too (and i know someones gonna go back and pull up receipts of me a year or so ago begging for a continuation season after s13 ended but dont do that pls) and to continue after an ending like that with a time skip like that makes this whole season feel like an epilogue to me? like a clean up? like there were some loose ends were tying up.

like. if theyre serious about this season and about ALL these new characters theyre bringing up then were looking at an arc here. like its gonna have to be to bring this to a proper close after all this extra shit?? they cant comfortably bring this to a close in one season

like what are they planning????whats the point of all this????

i honestly wouldn’t even  be so bent out of shape about it all, like it wouldn’t seem like such a stretch but the fact that we’re introduced to this season with dylan, who is also, largely, framed as a main character this season. who is. a new character. :/

like i get the narrative tool of using a reporter to drag your characters out of retirement for “one last job” (again, kinda framing it to be one season which worries me!) but whyyyyyy do we have to go through all this stuff with dylan and jax??????? like W H Y do we have to go through the same relationship development we’ve seen like three times already?????? jax is characteristically indistinguishable from caboose, so like???? weve seen this before!! the cold cynical “i dont need friends im just doing my job” person getting frustrated by having to deal with the idiot heart-of-gold tagalong who refuses to hate them no matter how mean or terrible they are like?? we saw it with church and caboose. we saw it later with wash and caboose. we saw it with church and caboose againnnnnnnn. we even kinda saw it with tucker and palomo!!!!! like whats the point of repeating this scene again and again!!!! we get it cynical mean assholes deserve unconditional love too i guess!!!!

like i just cant really get into it. and i dont even really mind dylan like i like her a lot more than i initially thought i would but i already can pretty much see the direction her character arch is going so im just sorta like shrug. shes gonna push jax until he leaves and then...........only then..........will she learn how much she should have valued his unconditional love.................even if he annoyed her and they didnt get along objectively in any way shape or form. but since he likes her then its her job to reciprocate even if she doesnt get anything out of the relationship at all. also she shot him. but whatever their friendship is beautiful (didnt know i had this much salt over this particular subject lmao whoops)

ok so narratively i only see two reasons to do this and im not crazy about either

1). theyre building up to draw some parallels between dylan and like wash or church or s/t but again i dont see the reasoning like why is this season framed around teacher dylan an important lesson about friendship you brought the show back from the jaws or death to give my a character arc for a new character????

2). this its more significant than it seems (i.e. theyre not who we think they are, i mean, its pretty suspicious we only have jax’s stage name rn) like theyre more significant players than we’ve been led to believe

(((also also im with grif on the whole bringing church back thing lmao. like WE DID THIS ALREADY??? there were a lot of AI why dont we ever go on an epic quest to save any of my other favs like oh idk TEX?????????!!!!!!!!!???????)))

but really tho my real and true problem is that i cant tell why theyre still making episodes. is it because theres still a story here that needs to be told or just because they can. and i know my hangup with this mostly stems from one interview i saw after s13 ended with miles and burnie where burnie pretty much said “yea if i had it my way uh i would end it here but hey it is what it is :/” and that just sorta struck a cord with me. maybe because he was a writer and one of the original people who created it i was sorta uncomfortable with taking the show places he didnt want to take it (and i could be TOTALLY off base with this assessment!!!! like i dont know how burnie really feels about this show rn he could be totally digging the new stuff this is just a personal things thats a hangup in just my own head!!!!)

ok so i think i covered pretty much everything i needed to say about this season so far if you actually read this far thanks if u gave up and skipped to the end then i have one last food for thought:

im gonna be the huge stick in the mud who says it: people are putting way too much faith in a company that is still using donut to make cheap gay jokes by actually thinking grimmons is going to become canon and im sorry that youre going to be disappointed. what we are going to get is a unsatisfying reunion and subsequent make up a la church and tucker in s12 and thats it.

thats not what i want to happen thats what i believe will happen. i am FULLY prepared to eat my own hat if im wrong. you may consider this text post legally binding
