Does anyone else like REALLY not like Cyprian? Like, it might be because of the narrator being Will, it might be because you don't get the whole story from his point of view, but I hate him. Like, if he died, I wouldn't be sad. Is it just me??

[infiglo]

any particular reason why william killer the kiddos in your au?

he got too silly

[canthejustboremetodeath]

Can we talk about how genuinely terrified kyoka was of mori? The first thing she did after she saw him was scream. Idk sometimes I just think about it, what image she has of mori and what she knows to get that image.

and then I think back to dazai, because if mori is afraid of dazai and everyone is afraid of mori, how truly fucked is dazai actually? I've read fanfics where people got his sense of fucked pretty good but I feel like there's probably more. I mean my man's tortured people before, probably threatened a lot of governments and political figures. 'S just something I think about from time to time.

It's j a thought I had that I don't verbalize bc I'm not black: it doesn't seem like Eric Adams cares about black ppl. Or more like, he cares for only one type of people and acts like it, and ends up taking action that happens to be racist in a anti-black way specifically. Idk idk

You know what’s funny? I don’t know many New Yorkers (black, white, or other) who actually like Eric Adams. I certainly don’t, and I damn sure didn’t vote for him. Being the mayor of NY (the greatest city in the world) is probably the second hardest and most important job next to being POTUS. But, his approval ratings are the lowest I've ever seen!

He doesn’t have a clear vision or strong ideas for the city. All his policies does seem to be based on satisfying special and conservative interests (I mean, he was a fucking cop!)

He was accused of sexual assault and is under federal investigation due to his campaign spending and corruption.

He’s keen on gutting public programs, and making major cuts to schools, libraries, parks (all of which are historically the strength of our city) all to close budget gaps.

He seems to always side with landlords and real estate billionaires on every important issue.

There's a rise in stop-and-frisk policing, especially with cops and National Guards everywhere in the subway.

He claims to be guided by a voice of a 'God;' he even once claimed, “I know you don’t like to admit it, but I know you get on your knees and pray every night, ‘Thank God Eric is the mayor of our city.” 😒

He makes outrageous “racism” claims when pressed by citizens or the press with real legitimate and eloquent criticism. He even compared an old white lady to a slave owner when all she did was ask why the rent in NYC is so damn high, and he deflected with that nonsense:

When asked to describe NY in one word this fool said, "New York. This is where everyday you wake up, you could experience everything from a plane crashing into the World Trade Center, to a person who is celebrating a new business that's opened". WTF does that even mean?!?!?!?

Don't even get me started on the immigration issue and the fact that you can't find affordable housing anywhere either.

Yeah, we don't like him. He’s way too into building his personal brand (it's giving narcissist at this point). He's a bozo...and he's not every good at this job! 🤡

Martellus is still a sleezeball and a trashbag, but give him props on this. He understands the political station and status and situation he's in, and acknowledges the best way forward even if he has to swallow his pride for it. He has dignity.

[unsung-idiot]

don't show him modern technology; it won't end well

bonus under the cut:

[batcavescolony]

Katniss is such an unreliable narrator. She says "Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don't expect it because I don't think of District 12 as a place that cares about me" girl you deliver strawberries to the Mayor, you hunt and trade for the district, when you fell at Prim being chosen someone caught you, when you went to Prim people parted for you, when you volunteered EVERYONE stopped. Idk how to tell you but I think you're a pillar of the community.

absolutely losing it at the polar opposite perspective we get on darth vader during rebels. kanan and ezra encounter him and there's a dramatic lead up to the cameo and they're like "who the FUCK is that???". they fight him and lose terribly. at least until they drop several tons of heavy machinery on him. but then he survives! and then they're like "if that won't kill him what can?!" "not us. let's go!". there's no drama, no extremely emotional dialogue, no agony over the man he used to be and the monster he became. just "hey what is that? a SITH LORD? that sounds like 1-800-NOT OUR PROBLEM!!!" and then they go back to doing whatever they normally do

[o0kawaii0o]

no mercy 😭

[lotus-pear]

he's so crazy we can't take him anywhere 😭🤣

this isn't the first time @cerbykerby had an idea that i've impulsively drawn... rest of the comic under the cut!

Mel's protection should have saved Viktor too, and she's trying to figure out why it didn't

(Editing to add: see this post for details on the Mel's armor/shield theory)

S2 ep1 shows a circle of protected stone where Mel and Jayce were during the explosion. My theory is that Mel's magic armor activated and saved them both. It seems like it casts a sphere of protection around wherever Mel is.

The center of this circle is not Mel's seat - it's Jayce's. She ran to Jayce to save him.

No other Councilors were in range of Mel's protection, so they all got hurt or killed.

But Viktor was, in Jayce's words, "right next to" him. He was easily within Mel's circle of protection.

1) Viktor tried to run and mistakenly left the circle of protection. But are we meant to believe that Viktor, close to dying already and using a crutch, would have outrun Mel?

2) Viktor's augmented body clashes with Mel's

Why does Mel try to touch Viktor in episode 1? It seems like a throwaway moment, but not even Jayce touches him in this scene. So why Mel?

She's curious. And possibly, feeling responsible. She's wondering why her protection didn't work.

Is this Hexcore brand of the Arcane trying to reach out to Mel? Or trying to defend itself from her?

Mel was trying to protect both Jayce and Viktor, which is reflected in how she holds Jayce as well as Viktor's cane when she promises to protect Hextech:

But if, for example, Mel's magic is Solari in origin, and Viktor's is from the Void - or the Arcane equivalent of similar opposing forces - then it's possible that their magic rejects or hurts one another. So Mel's circle of protection either rejected Viktor, or was what hurt Viktor, and not the explosion.
