I think a lot about Leo’s tendency to push his way into the spotlight despite clearly being a natural in the shadows. Hell, you could argue that his worst moments are when he’s forcing himself onstage, and his best are when he does things no one notices until it’s already been done.

When it comes to Themis Academy's indirect first impressions seen in AAI2, compared to the more in depth look we're given in AA5-3, it suprises me to see how many parallels Robin and Eustace share, intentionally or otherwise:

Originally they were forced to become prosecutors through overbearing parents who gave them impossible standards to live by, and a warped image of what it means to be a prosecutor thanks to said standards

Both are incredibly emotional, highly sensitive to any sort of flaw in their craft, and end up engaging in rather destructive behaviors as a result of any slight against them (Robin breaking seemingly perfect pottery / Eustace's baton slap to the face)

They both have a strong tie to a piece of capelike clothing as a part of their self image, which is emphasized using a notable red & blue contrast (Robin and Junie's costume / Eustace and the valedictorian’s jacket)

They end up temporarily disregarding their own aspirations of becoming a prosecutor after a drastic reveal in their respective arcs, before reclaiming them in the end after their view is shaped by the player character (Athena saving Junie / Miles seeking the truth)

The new gameplay mechanic of their respective games is incorporated as a way of building them up rather than breaking them down (the Mood Matrix used in identifying the source of Robin's discomfort / Logic Chess used in repairing Eustace's self esteem)

And - most importantly imo! - their arcs both culminate with them learning how to live their lives according to their own terms, instead of having an inconsiderate authority decide for them.

Okay so I have made a really bad post trying to descredit Eden taking the tape as something super important so I'm just gonna drop the actual post I was preparing instead of trying to catch Eden!Culprit theories with a half baked post.

The main issue I'm having with Eden!Culprit theories right now is mostly because of stubborness that since Eden took the tape then she HAS to have done it even though if she was the culprit it would make 0 sense as to why she wouldn't just take the tape after Teruko and Ace left the room ? Like someone could've easily told her to take the tape, it's not that hard and it just makes more sense with the other evidence layed out for us.

The main reason I accepted Eden as the culprit before is because there were no possible culprits since Levi was pretty much confirmed innocent and there was still a likelyhood of Eden working for someone. However, this pretty much now rendered null and void. I swear all of this makes it sound like I have some grudge against this theory but I really need to put this subject to rest before the answer is probably revealed to us on friday. I want to make sure this theory is dead in the ground even if it's just for me personally, because it just has too many holes for me.

Also sorry if this seems mainly just a repeat of stuff I've already said, I'm not really good at structuring my posts :')

I've seen the argument that Arei actually wasn't knocked out with the turpentine because why would they bind her wrist then. However, we know she had to have been knocked because there is no struggle shown, either on her body or the floor of the playground. Weither she was suffocated or knocked out, the tape was still used on her wrist so this can't be something to be used against the idea of turpentine knocking her out. This means there is high likelyhood that it was used because it would make no sense for the culprit to just suffocate Arei before killing her (and again suffocating would show more signs of struggle than what we see on the crime scene).

There's also no other items that Arei could've been suffocated with other than the rope which would've left marks, the ball of starch clearly is stuck together most likely by turpentine which means it would've been used to knock out someone.

This would mean the culprit had to have used the turpentine to knock out Arei as well, meaning the culprit had to have gotten their hands on the turpentine.

I also refuse the idea of Eden trying to kill Ace, not only because I just find it ridiculous from a character standpoint but mainly because we know it was Hu's murder weapon that was used against Ace (the wire) considering there is no evidence of any other wire existing in this killing game that would be sharp enough to slice someone's throat. Hu's wire is part of the weapons which is evidence alone that it would be sharp enough to harm Ace bc otherwise what purpose does a wire serve. I don't believe for a second that Hu would just have her weapon lying around for anyone to yoink, unlike the turpentine which we know had to have been used by Nico and Rose when they were painting together.

In fact the story has made it clear how complicated taking someone weapon's is by having Arei's weapon only being available after she discarded it. The same can be said of the turpentine which was used out in the open and would make it easy to take with Rose's absent mindedness. If taking someone's weapon was just as easy as that, they wouldn't have given us the scene of Arei throwing out her rope like that in the first place.

Eden also has no reason to want to replicate Ace's murder onto Arei, there's basically no logical motivation behind that. In fact the progression between Ace's attempted and Arei's succesful murder proves alone that it's the same culprit (if the turpentine's existence wasn't enough). We can see the progression of the culprit trying to avoid the same mistakes they committed with Ace's failed murder (trying to snap Arei's neck to avoid the possibility of her getting saved last minute like Ace, bounding her hands potentially to make her more stable to lift upwards).

We don't even know if she figured out how the murder even worked considering it was completely undone when Teruko and Eden saw it.

Even the timing of when Eden knew about the clothing is off. We know the ball of clothing is probably sticky due to the turpentine because there is no other leads to explain why this ball of clothing is even a thing in this murder case. Turpentine is both clear and sticky, which would explain how the ball of clothing is both clear of stains and sticking together like that. Considering also that we know for a fact Ace was knocked out, and I don't think the culprit straight just shoved a jar of turpentine on his face, they most likely used some sort of tissue to smother them with (meaning it couldn't have been used to asphexiate Arei). This means the ball of clothes was used in Ace's attempted murder.

Eden only knew about the clothing change from Hu, we can only assume the same day that Ace's was murdered and probably not long before the attempt. This both clears Eden going to the changing room as the ""ball of starch"" was most likely already created before that, the only arguemnt it could be used for is that she was trying to retrieve it but it barely makes sense.

In terms of the timing of when Eden knew about the clothes and Ace's murder, if Hu only told her the same night that Ace was almost murdered it makes the timing insanely more difficult to justify. Unlike Hu who would have the pieces ready way more in advance.

All of these contradictions cannot be debunked by saying "well Eden took the tape", as it could easily be explained by the culprit asking her to take the tape from the gym or her just taking it without purpose and then the culprit getting their hands on it later.

The Eden!Culprit theory is barely hanging onto one piece of shakey evidence that can easily be broken by one justification.

If Nico can't be the culprit despite having the turpentine (well I don't think they do but 99 pourcent of Eden!culprit theories rely on Eden not really committing the attempted murder of Ace) then Eden doesn't have to be the culprit taking the tape.

The only way you can argue Eden is the culprit is if she tried to kill Ace, however this is impossible because of Hu's weapon. This is basically the summary of my main issue with the whole Eden!Culprit theory.

DON'T KILL ME PLEASE!!! i think i have some unpopular opinions in there so-also i don't hate any ships (aside from the ones listed) at worst i feel neutral about them!!

another big disclaimer: I do realize this could be very wrong haha i don't know everything about these aus and I don't claim my opinions to be correct or in anyway canon.

i would love to explain the reasoning for all of them heheh (also ngl only know like... maybe half of these aus more than surface level so most of this was based off vibes alone. im not doing research for all the aus just for this chart im sorry LMAOO)

sorry bad sanses enjoyers 😭

I really wish that antis stopped using real life sa victims in their shit especially since they tell real life sa victims that we deserved our assaults cos we all handle our trauma differently.

Does any other convert feel guilty for being afraid? Because I love my people, but at the end of the day I chose this. I chose the life where I'd have to worry for my safety. I wasn't born into it. I could've lived a life of (relative) privilege if I had decided this wasn't the life I wanted. But I see how bad things are getting for Jews everywhere. I constantly am afraid. I struggle to make friends because in the back of my mind I always wonder if they'd cheer for my death. Some days between personal life events and the state of the world since October 7th I feel like I'm inching into paranoia. But it also makes me feel almost like an imposter in a way. To know I chose this. It makes me feel like I shouldn't complain or feel scared.

And please don't misunderstand. I love the Jewish people with my whole heart and soul. I converted because I realized a part of my soul would forever be missing if I didn't. But it doesn't stop the guilt from eating me alive.

if anyone has any problem making sense of the way i interpret Kaiba just remember this: Tea Gardner looks at him one day and has the dawning realization "hes like a lesbian of some kind" this should make all the pieces fall into place

[weallpartyatybcpatricksfuneral]

"I've got a lot of friends who are stars but some are just black holes" is a sick and twisted line to write then make your best friend sing. literally no matter how you interpret this line between the two of them it always comes out to something literally sick and twisted and awful and just fucking evil.

i love mlp but it’s so frustrating to watch bc Twilight will be having a very normal , reasonable reaction to something and everyone in the show and the narrative will want you to disagree with her and think she’s being unreasonable or irrational like be so fr

Either that or she’s having an autism moment and no one is understanding & it’s so ughhh annoying to watch

[itspileofgoodthings]

like. Nina listens to Taylor, moderately keeps up with the front-facing aspects of her life, enjoys her quality, has her minor critiques, recognizes her place in the current culture, can set her down and do other things when she wants to, and most importantly knows who Taylor is through her art.

Some rough colored sketches of solanum + a few of the modern nomai! Now that I'm a little more comfortable drawing them, I've been trying to come up with designs for individual nomai and wanted to take a stab at coloring them. All of the helmet-less depictions of Nomai in the game have the same coloration, so I like to think that each Nomai clan has one or two common colorations within the clan, but different clans can have vastly different colorations. I also imagine that their eyes can be a bunch of different crazy colors.
