List 5 facts about a favorite sim of yours, and send this to simblrs whose sims you adore 🤍

Kai and Ryuu's father was one of the seven Plague Lords of Inferna. Namely Ira, or Wrath. Their mother was a succubi queen (or princess, depending on how you want to look at it). Though Kaizen, unlike his younger brother, doesn't have a close relationship with their mother, despite being most similar to her in nature and appearance.

Also dissimilarly to Ryuusei, Kaizen has obtained something of an archdemon status. This has led many to question if Ryuusei is Ira's biological child or if the two brothers have different fathers. Though neither of them know with any certainty, Kaizen is of the belief that this is, in fact, the case. This is the leading factor in the brothers centuries long conflict.

Kaizen is a lust demon, not an incubus. He doesn't necessarily have to sleep with his victims to feed. Actually, Kaizen gets off on any and all lust, even if it's not directed at him, though that does sweeten the pot.

He actually loves humans, in a sick, twisted way. He finds them fascinating and hideous, like watching a never-ending string of car crashes. He'll often refer to them as his "ugly little pets" or "silly little things". Always as if talking down to a pitiful animal. His abilities make him attuned to human emotions and he understands their thoughts even better, often to the point of manipulating them to make things more entertaining for himself. He is a sadist through and through.

His fascination with Xiaoming stemmed from the fact that Xiaoming doesn't exhibit the same sort of emotions as other humans. Rather, a lack thereof. Meaning he can't feed off him (i.e. victimize him) because Xiaoming doesn't perceive lust. Xiaoming being the exception piqued his interest. In his mind, this makes Xiaoming exempt to all his condescending opinions about humans. Of course, Xiaoming having zero interest also helped, making Kaizen want to pursue him harder (that masculine energy tho).

BONUS: Though Xiaoming finds Kaizen despicable, disgusting, borderline abominable... In reality, Kaizen is incredibly gentle with him personally. After their initial meeting and clash, the two have never fought, neither physically nor verbally. They don't argue, as Kaizen is far too submissive to Xiao to refuse his commands. He grows to have a deep respect for Xiaoming, which morphs into something akin to love, if a demon could feel it. He'll tease Xiaoming endlessly, but in fact he is not only deeply loyal to him, but fiercely protective, and cares a great deal for Xiaoming's feelings. He will often give him gifts, dote on him and heap on flatteries (even if Xiao believe these all to be a show). But he's also very mindful of Xiaoming's thoughts and emotions, allowing him the space to speak and express himself, and never judging him one way or another. He abstains from doing things he knows Xiaoming would never tolerate, at least, in any capacity Xiaoming might find out he's doing it lol, and agrees to operate within the strict rules Xiaoming lays out for him as a way of proving his devotion.

Some Dragons!

Tempest: Tempest is a male Windreaper Wyvern bonded to Nova Fulgur, he is curious and hotheaded, though not necessarily reckless. He and his rider are part of the Rebellion.

Cassiopeia: a female Night/Snowreaper Wyvern bonded to a Aionios Mercenary named Auriga Blanche, they are part of the 3rd Wyvern Squadron and fight alongside the Aionios troops and Fulgur family. (Both Cassi and Auriga belong to @vincedmeat )

Thunderbolt: a female Thunderreaper Wyvern bonded to Aesir Fulgur, just like her rider she is harsh and unforgiving, especially on the battlefield. She and her rider are responsible for a lot of death and destruction.

Frostbite: a male Frost/Snow/Night/Bloodreaper Wyvern bonded to Aurore Duratus, he is the offspring of Aurore's parents dragons. Frostbite is considered to be among the most beautiful dragons ever seen by Dragon Scholars, no doubt thanks to his special heritage.

Skullcrusher: a female Magmareaper Wyvern, bonded to a man simply known as the Brute, she is feared and possibly the most dangerous and largest of the Aionios mercenary dragons. She has a severely scarred and injured lower jaw which was corrected with Dragonsteel, she’s a veteran and has killed many other dragons. Both are part of of Squadron 1.

Weepingsnow: a male Snowreaper Wyvern, hatched wild but later bonded to Skadi Duratus, named for his markings he is rather gentle, which common for his breed, and always hovering around his peculiar rider, however he is not to be underestimated.

Quickstrike: is a male Dune/Flashreaper Wyvern, bonded to another Ainoios mercenary named Lazuli, unlike most others, Lazuli has no real desire to fight this war, yet knows not what else to do and fears what may happen if she refuses. Quickstrike is often curled around his somber rider.

Nightshade: is a male Grovereaper bonded to a Forest elf Sentinel named Jade, he has rare markings and is a very proud dragon, often holding his head high and affectionately nipping at his riders arms.

Inferno: a male, Flameborn, Flame/Emberreaper bonded to Pyrrha Ardor, who is also a Flameborn. He is temperamental and stubborn, not unlike his rider, though he acts the ability to use sarcasm like she does. When angered enough his scales will shimmer blue and his fire too will turn a brilliant blue.

Veilwatcher: a male Ghost/Emberreaper, bonded to another Aionios merc named Vendetta, just like his rider, Veil is unpredictable and remorseless, snapping at allies too, though never even hissing at Vendetta, kindred spirits these 2 are, though he is much more mentally stable than his traumatized rider.

Geyser: a male Sea/Emberreaper, bonded to, again, a Aionios merc, Llyr is his beloved rider, often tugging her into water to play, Geyser is generally Curious and playful but mostly only towards Llyr.

Snowfall: a young female Snow/Frost/night/Bloodreaper Wyvern bonded to Aurore Duratus's younger brother, Aquilo Duratus, she is just about big enough to be ridden and both her and her young rider are mostly kept out of the conflict. She is curious and very friendly.

Sunbringer: a male, Sunborn, Lightreaper Wyvern, bonded to a Sunborn girl named Elaine Solar, both are beloved by their people of the Temple of Solis. Sunny is protective and intelligent like his rider.

Seastrike: a male Sea/Flashreaper bonded to a human/elf named Lepidolite, Seastrike's appearance is akin to that of an electric eel. ( Both also belong to My friend @vincedmeat )

Whiteout: a male Icereaper Wyvern, bonded to Gwendolyn Duratus, he is docile as long as Gwen is near, otherwise he becomes rather agitated. Their bond is said to be among the strongest, Gwen not even needing to utter commands for her dragon to act. His favored food is Sabertooth Salmon and he will pester Gwen until she takes him to the lake to catch some.

Eclipse: a female Light/Nighreaper, bonded to yet again, a Aionios Merc, Aurelius is a very competent fighter and rider, he is intelligent, snarky and passionate and yet very honorable. Eclipse is an elegant dragon and among the most beautiful, she is loyal and fierce.

Skyfall: a male Flashreaper, bonded to a member of the rebellion, Valkyrie Fulgur, Skyfall is clever and aggressive, incredibly snuggly when interacting with his rider though, he is Val's greatest comfort.

Silvermoon: a female, Moonborn, Nightreaper bonded to Moonborn Jericho Lunar, she is quick, clever and proud. Her rider is her priority and favorite thing in the world. The people of their temple deem her the most magnificent dragon in the world. Though it seems she has caught the eye of the beautiful Sunbringer.

Goldwing: a male Firereaper Wyvern bonded to Themis Ardor, Goldwing is clever and highly focused on Themis at all times, both he and his rider are younger twins. He is considered the Ardor's most beautiful dragon, many watch him fly just to see his wings catch the sunlight. Other than Themis's next of kin, he dislikes men to a degree of growling and snapping at them.

The Sea Ghost: a Wild, elder female Seareaper Wyvern, she is often spotted flying or napping near the south eastern part of the kingdom of Aura, she is docile and friendly, even letting children come up to pet her and feed her her favorite snack, mackerel. She is old, nearly a century old she was named for her pale scales.

Nightfang: a male Night/Bloodreaper Wyvern, bonded to a former Aionios merc, Jean Duratus is the spous of Boreas Duratus, together they had Aurore and Aquilo. Nightfang is very fond of Jeans children, and himself has fathered their dragons. He is quick and nimble yet a fierce fighter and very protective.

[prismaticpichu]

If only this actually resonated with Genesis. If only he actually understood what Sephiroth was saying. If only he registered that Sephiroth never wanted to be a hero, never truly wanted to be in the spotlight, and that his jaded and reflexive response revealed how Sephiroth would have been perfectly content should someone else have adopted “his glory”. Maybe he would have been able to snap out of it a little and have a genuine conversation about their rivalry. Imo, Sephiroth was only cocky in the training room bc he was comfortable being so around his friends. He cherished having someone who could challenge him, treasured having a person who pushed him to his limits and gave his exceptional skills some fun and purpose… And this playful arrogance unfortunately blinded him to a festering and very much real sense of envy on the other side.

And now he was trying to apologize for it.

“Would I be the one to play the hero, or would you?”

Alas, whether it’s the degradation clouding his mind or years of accumulating bitterness that degradation took advantage of, Genesis brushed it off.

This following comment also makes me believe that we’re gonna see something in EC about Sephiroth “stealing” Genesis’s glory. And (knowing Sephiroth and his good-hearted obliviousness), it will most likely be completely unintentional, creating the first real rift in their friendship. Planting the first real seeds of envy.

List 5 facts about a favorite character of yours, and send this to 10 simblrs whose sims you adore ♥♥♥

I'll play to the player then ;)

He is a bit of a tea connoisseur, though he'd absolutely never admit it. His favorite is Jasmine. Kaizen will often gift him with teas, both forthright and anonymously, as he knows it's the one thing Xiao can't refuse.

He is renowned for his swordsmanship. His skills are considered legendary. However, he loathes to use them against human opponents. He was conscripted in war many hundreds of years ago and deeply regrets his involvement. He won't talk about it to anyone (and no one is alive who remembers what really happened) but the legend goes that he defeated an entire army single-handedly. Whether it's truth or entirely fiction is up for debate.

Despite his skill with a blade and immense spiritual energy, he actually sucks at hand to hand combat. A weakness he's never been able to make peace with.

He dislikes most animals. Especially the idea that anyone might keep them as house pets. He does enjoy birds, to some extent, however.

He very rarely speaks more than necessary. He is very clipped and curt in reply. People who aren't familiar with him think him rude or arrogant. There might be some truth to that. He just doesn't find anyone worthy of having conversation with. Almost accidentally, the person he finds most interesting in conversation is Kaizen. Again, he'll never admit it, but it's obvious from the way the former manages to get more than five words out of him at a time.

The trickster

Source: Wiki.

So my theory and predictions have always been along these lines:

But I have always thought Shapiro's trick is not just a poaching trick, as I explained in the meta above.

IMO it's also a trick rooted in professional jealousy and pettiness.

Walk with me here:

We were talking FF earlier with @only-one-brain-cell, and the trickster came up. Her angle was: "What if Shapiro was never going to talk to Carmy? What if he just said that to put Sydney’s mind at ease?"

Which makes total sense, right?

BUT

My point is:

What if it's worse than that, I mean on top of that the tricker was BLUFFING because he's a trickster!

I mean... What if he was never gonna hire her to begin with and he just wanted her to quit The Bear but there was no such partnership stake?

What if he just wanted to poach her but there was no such agreement?

He never sent her a contract for her to go over, which is a formality and common procedure in any business negotiations, especially if the offer is really juicy.

No hard copy.

Carmy drew the agreement and emailed it because his is actually a real and legit offer.

Maybe Shapiro just wanted Carmy to lose his most valuable asset.

And then ditch Syd, and hire someone else, maybe someone more experienced than a young chef who had been a CDC for only a month by then and had plenty of experience as a Soux Chef but no international experience and a failed catering business under her belt, regardless of how talented he knew she was, because he had already been to The Bear incognito, of course.

Perhaps Shapiro, strategically speaking, just wanted to make sure he was going to compete with the Sydless version of The Bear.

Stealing young talent is common in the biz but that stealing, which is what we all know as poaching, may not be always followed by a better and more solid offer, sometimes it's just about making sure the other restaurant loses its edge, not about hiring new talent, not necessarily.

Maybe Shapiro just wanted it to be Carmy vs him, EC vs EC.

Maybe he thought he could take him that way and beat it at his own game for once.

A Sydless Carmy may have looked less unbeatable in his eyes.

Why wait for her to talk to Carmy to make a formal offer? Wouldn’t it be more convincing/tempting to show up with the paperwork and the $ right up front? And only let her cash the first check in once she quits The Bear?

BECAUSE HE WAS FUCKING BLUFFING AND TRYING TO USE SYD TO GET TO CARMY BY POACHING HIS EDGE, HIS NEW SECRET WEAPON, THE PROMISING YOUNG TALENT THAT HAD EVERYTHING TO PROVE, CIA TRAINING, TALENT, AND NEW AND GREAT IDEAS, SOMEONE WHO HADN'T YET BEEN FULLY JADED BY THE INDUSTRY AND COULD ONLY GET BETTER.

Forget it! It was a trick!

He said it. He literally said: “Here’s the trick”

And then offered the deal.

No paperwork though, just his words.

He’s a trickster!

I’ve been saying this since June 27, the guy is full of shit and professionally jealous of Carmy since they were staging together before he was sent to Copenhagen.

Unlike Luca who saw Carmy as an inspiration knowing he could never beat him, Shapiro saw him as competition and hated him because he couldn't beat him, Carmy went on to become the most excellent CDC... you know the drill...

Now, Carmy, Carmy never even saw Shapiro at all.

🤪🤪🤪

Too busy being the most excellent CDC and putting his ❤️ on a plate for Syd to even think about Shapiro at all.

Which is what kills Shapiro and that's why he wants to take him down.

Because Carmy never even saw him as real competition so that'll show him!

Carmy saw Luca as competition.

Not shapiro

And he smoked Luca.

But Luca doesn’t resent him for that.

Shapiro, on the other hand, is petty.

And Shapiro would have never achieved what he did so far if it wouldn’t have been for Chef Terry. She was the soul of ever. Not him, and he knows it, that's why he wants to start clean and doesn't wanna inherit anything from her.

He wants to open his own place like this because he has A LOT TO PROVE TO HIMSELF.

Unlike Carmy, who made it anywhere in his own merit, even under his iron fist:

That's yet another difference between Shapiro and Carmy and the trickster is aware of this and it kills him.

But my point is not that Carmy is better than the Trickster but that the reason why the Trickster wants to poach Syd OR MAKE HER THINK SO TO GET HER AWAY FROM CARMY AND BREAK THE WINNING UNBEATABLE TEAM, is exactly that, Shapiro is Shapiring and thus he's not to be trusted, that offer may not even exist, it's only a decoy for Syd to bite and leave Carmy high and dry so it's easier for him to take him down.

He must have seen them working together when he went to SPY with a bunch of friends and sent the reviewers in to try to fuck Carmy and picked up on this:

Because he's a trickster but not stupid.

He doesn't want Syd and he certainly doesn't want to give her "whatever she wants". GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK!

He wants to ruin Carmy.

I said it before and I'll say it again:

FUCK SHAPIRO!

Wrestlemania 41 review

The build was lazy. The PR the week of Mania was a disaster and on the weekend. Here is my review. It was mostly bad and underwhelming, but still some bright spots.

The good.

Best Triple Threat in recent history The Heyman double betrayal was perfect. Seth as a Paul Heyman guy is fucking perfect. Honestly? I'm more invested in a Seth and Heyman stable than I am Rock and Cena stable.

Jade and Naomi stole the show with BLACK GIRL MAGIC! This heel Naomi is lit. Now hurry up and reveal that Bianca was the brains behind taking Jade out

Iyo vs Bianca vs Rhea was the highlight of the night and stole the show and told Cody and Cena to try and fucking top that. I'm so glad Iyo won and that once again they all underestimated her lol The three of them delivered what is maybe going to be match of the entire event. Rhea, Iyo & Bianca showed up, holy shit.

Fatu is a star. A great match in Fatu vs LA Knight. LA Knight to me should've been given the Jey Uso push, but none theless I am happy Jacob got his Wrestlemania moment

Drew came in dressed up as Doomslayer, yeah he wasn't fucking losing LOL. I've come to really appreciate Drew McIntyre the past couple of years. His ability to make shit look and feel legit is rare today. Makes you think the issue is really personal. Some real old-school stuff.

JOE HENDRY RKO LOL

The Meh

Jey Uso deserved it after doing so much to get over. But, why did Gunther tap out? That buried him if anything. But…what happens next? How long do they think they can keep it on him till the fans get bored of the "Yeet" I just don't see this as a long term title reign, you can only ride limited popularity for so long

New Day becoming Tag Champs feels. Eh? I feel like Big E coming out to distract them was the payoff for this heel turn and costing them the match. But they just won.

El Grande Americano feels like a Vince McMahon gimmick match designed to only entertain him and you really had to do Rey Fennix dirty like that?

Dominik Guerrero is running wild!

The Bad

Fire Pat McAfee. He is fucking awful. He has old "mute the fucking show" heat with me. For fuck's sake, my problems with Corey Graves aside, at least I don't fucking groan with my whole existence

Charlotte vs Tiffany was awful. Horrible build. Horrible promos that buried Tiffany and a terrible worked shoot promo that made them both look bad(Charlotte even more so) absolutely zero chemistry. The two could not get on the same page to save their lives, whether it was a case of incompatibility or unwillingness to work together. There were numerous times where the match broke down or ground to a near-halt, and at one point threatened to completely fall apart. It was not pretty, nor did it look like a shoot-style fight. They simply were not in sync. Once again. Alexa Bliss or Roxanne Perez should've won the Rumble

Fuck WWE for fucking over Bayley. NO! I don't give a fucking shit if this was planned for weeks. You HAD Bayley vs Roxanne Perez ON A SILVER FUCKING PLATTER! And you dropped that. Could've had Bayley win the IC title from Lyra and defend it against Perez and still have this tag match too. But no, why give Bayley anything AFTER FUCKING EVERYTHING SHE'S DONE THIS YEAR!!! So sick of how she's disrespected. Congrats Becky...I guess. Oh well, suppose it's an excuse for Bayley to turn heel

Fuck Logan Paul. AJ Deserved better than this fucking shit

Terrible main event. No chemistry. Bad pacing. Travis Scott spot was pointless, and lack luster. I'm going to say it, they shouldn't have involved The Rock if they couldn't use him. Him not turning up in any of the build after EC and then not being involved in the match at Wrestlemania makes absolutely no sense. It's been half baked and the match suffered as a result. An unnecessary celebrity appearance. Ref had to sell that soft ass tug by Travis Scott like he got hit by a car. Cody having seconds thoughts about hitting a man who left him bloody. Cody looked like a putz. There was no Rock, no Seth, no Heyman, no nothing. But Travis Scott was there. Just a sub-par main event with a lame-duck heel turn and a piss-poor ending. Lame ass finish to a lame ass match

I have a question, do you think clubs are obligatory or what part they play if they count as extra credits in some way? I had the question in my mind after thinking on how can Jade and Malleus form their own interest club and how it plays out in academics or in their week as to the students in general so I though maybe get an extra opinion of somebody else that has spend some time looking at details of the game will help get another perspective on it.

Hello hello!!

From what I can tell, it might not have been confirmed either way! I was not able to find any reference in the game about the joining of a club being mandatory or optional.

(In the novel we are told "All students of Night Raven College must, without exception, join a club or society of some kind," but it is not unusual for the game and novel to vary from one another.)

Idia has a line about earning "club credit" on EN, which sounds a little like the clubs are treated similar to classes and may be a requirement, but as he does not mention earning credit in the original game (it was added to his dialogue on EN), this may not count.

Trey has another EN-exclusive comment about Glorious Masquerade representatives maybe being decided based on grades and club participation, but his original dialogue does not mention clubs. The word (生活態度) is a little difficult to put into English and means things like waking up on time, being on time to classes, not causing trouble, following rules, etc.

In the second Vargas Camp event the art club students are motivated with the threat of being forced to join sports clubs, but in the first Vargas Camp the sports clubs members are merely threatened with being disbanded, with no mention of having to join different clubs as a result.

Clubs are referenced throughout various vignettes, with maybe Trey's line about joining the Science Club as an alternative to a Home Ec / Cooking Club the closest we get to an insinuation that he had been forced to choose something, even if it was something he did not want to do.

And then there is Idia picking the Board Game Club because the Science Club was too crowded, and Cater saying that the Pop Music Club is on the brink of being disbanded and he doesn't want to "be forced into a sports club," so maybe the clubs really are a requirement?

This is all a little too vague to really be counted as proof in favor of one possibility or the other, and it may be one of the things that the game is intentionally leaving up to interpretation :>

I searched around a bit for discussions within the community, and found two different, equally interesting theories: on the one hand it is possible that the clubs really are mandatory, with students given the choice of joining an existing club or founding one of their own if nothing interests them, so long as they are involved in a club in some capacity (both Jade and Malleus are the only members of their respective clubs, as you say! But Deuce's application for a Blastcycle club was denied (a point that may be tying into a certain fan theory about Crowley)).

On the other hand, as they all live on campus, it is possible that the vast majority choose to join clubs even though it is not mandatory to do so, simply because they don't have anything better to do.

If you are curious what direction would be best to go in for, say, fanfic purposes, I think there are equally believable arguments for both possibilities! :>

I guess I am the friendly neighborhood Japanese translation anon now, but to answer your questions on honorifics—Sephiroth in Ever Crisis speaks very polite and formally when he addresses the others, whereas his older versions spoke more casually to characters like Zack. His honorific speech in EC is a strong giveaway of his youth and innocence.

For instance, he very respectfully refers to Hojo as “doctor/professor” whereas in the OG or Crisis Core, it’s just “Hojo.”

He is more jaded and casual in those games and EC displays his etiquette as a well-taught child.

What a nice young man. A good boy.

Gee whiz, I can't imagine something tragic happening in the near future that will render him completely jaded and shellshocked. 💀
