#especially book 8

[fiery-emblems]

Book 8 is pretty neat so far, if a little bit bland (that's just cause it feels more like it fits more with the overarching aesthetic and plot of book 1 and 6 which are a little bland). I love Kozaki as a character designer so no surprise, I think the new characters look great.

I kind of wish we could get a mainline FE game that had a little more of the mystical feel that FEH has. The plot of the game is poo poo garbage but aesthetically FEH is really neat! Even book 7 had some really nice visuals despite the ugly characters. And the music for each book is usually pretty interesting, especially the last few which had that off beat kind of mystical feel.

They should make a really mage focused FE game with a bunch of cool shiny stuff and hire Kozaki to do more sleak designs.

I know we talked about this in the context of Silver and his sleep and Malleus and his cradle, but I’m also curious about Yuu/MC.

Because Yuu, at the end of the day, is always surrounded by magic. They don’t have a magic stone nor anything else that protects them from the excess magic of the school. (In the game at least)

Grim is their partner, the one with magic, but how is Yuu affected?? How is someone without magic who might come from a world without any, changed?

Someone who is around blot as well. Always around blot. Who might be the catalyst for it. Do they suffer any effect??

In the opening, we see an ink bottle on the ground and a bitten apple. We know Yuu has been feeling more helpless than ever. Are these all connected?

I don’t think they would have Lilia mention this for no reason either, so I’m curious 🧐

they really weren't kidding about the rom-com vibes in this season.

FF7 but its co-written by Geroge RR Martin

Everyone is crusty and mean to each other, they have a crazy orgy in order to resolve the shipping wars, Sephiroth gets killed off in the most disappointing way possible, and then everyone dies.

Also uhh... *flips notes* Denzel is the ruler of Midgar now. I guess.

Anyone else find it kind of funny/annoying that everyone's kicking off about TWP being released in 2025/2026? CC has been writing TSC since 2007, that's 17 years with barely a break to write something else. I know if I do the same thing for a while it gets boring and I've seen some people's opinions of CoT and how her being burnt out doesn't help.

I guess I'm just saying to remember she's human? She has a whole life we're not subject to and a publishing company who have certain dates that she probably can't move.

Also, the sooner TWP comes, the sooner TSC is over, so there's that too

Having thoughts of violence at work again

[ruvviks]

In the fourth and final season of All That's Left, Mac and Layla and their friends are left with one final job; travel back to fallen Opportunity, the city where it all began, to gather evidence of Matrix Corp creating the virus that led to the end of the world, sabotaging cure research, and being responsible for the destruction of the megalopolis. Hunted down on two fronts, having lost dear friends along the way, and faced with hordes of nearly unkillable mutated ghouls, the group is slowly but surely starting to run out of time. One last journey, to expose the truth about Matrix and shut them down once and for all— but who will live to tell the tale? [SEASON ONE HERE] // [SEASON TWO HERE] // [SEASON THREE HERE]

“Three Moments,” Vengeance of the Moon Knight (Vol. 2/2024), #8.

Writer: Jed Mackay; Penciler and Inker: Devmalya Pramanik; Colorist: Rachelle Rosenberg; Letterer: Cory Petit

[up-in-flames-writing]

In lieu of Stuff Your Kindle day, can we talk about the issue of how the m/m genre of books, romance or not, is almost entirely dominated by women? Can we talk about how the most recognisable gay couples in media are written by women? Can we talk about how queer men can't even write about ourselves, how we are only allowed to exist when it's from the point of view of a straight woman sexualising us?

Can we talk about that? Or am I going to get called misogynistic for pointing out the disparity between who gets the writing deals, & who gets their books turned into movies, & whose shit gets popular versus whose doesn't? Can we talk about how m/m fiction is only allowed when it appeals to a cishet gaze, or is that too much for tumblr to take?

Can we also talk about how trans queer men are even more hated by publishing? Can we talk about how we get shit from both sides? Can we talk about how books about the experiences of being a queer man, written by queer men, never get the same recognition as books written by women on this subject (barring academia which has its own problems)?

Can we talk about that? Can we?

Gosh I think it’s a 100% a smart decision to have a flashback of Luke training Percy to fight but WHY MUST YOU MAKE THIS EPISODE HURT SO

[danyseastar]

something i noticed unfortunately:

[script from darksvster]

alicent is mid-late thirties, which obvious discourse means her mom was also probably a childbride when she had her (+ her having an older brother in gwayne helps to reaffirm this).

this was the case for rhaenyra in fire and blood; aemma was *fifteen* when she had rhaenyra and *twenty-three* when she died birthing baelon. rhaenyra was a mother THREE times over (with baby egg on the way) by the time she reached the age her mother ultimately met her fate at.

how am i supposed to mentally cope with this information?

[lgbtlunaverse]

I'm not sure why my baby sister (who is 12 which means she's actually only 8) knowing things related to my hyperfixations that she's TOO YOUNG FOR perfectly in the age range to know about deals me so much psychic damage. But just when I thought i'd recovered from her watching bnha (it's FINE young teens are literally the target audience for shounen this is normal-) she looks at me today and goes "Hey. You ever heard of heaven's offical blessing?"

Me, having 50 different crises at the same time: uhh yeah i've read some other stuff by the same author. Why?

Her: oh no reason

Me: do NOT read mdzs do not do it you are a BABY and also if you do that I will die do NOT uhuh

Her: my classmate said books 1 and 3 are fine but 2 and 4 are super sad.

Me: oh interesting! gottagobye!

and then I ran to my room like a coward.

[my-current-obsession]

I am taking note of every single villager who honestly suggests that Micah's half-monster status might have given his chosen bride cold feet and led to her running away and they are ALL dropping several positions in my internal character ranking.
