#foreshadowing anon

[fallenclan]

Could you maybe compile a list of the foreshadowing you did for Wolfbite being the fourth cat? I'm curious to see what I saw and missed. (Not forcing you, of course)

just off the top of my head, here's the posts I remember! there's possibly more i missed, but here's these

Well, well, well... doesn't he look awfully happy.

Who are you looking at, Izuku?

during third year kohane has a massive growthspurt and grows to be the same height as tsukasa, but because of her build she's all legs. she looks like a baby fawn trying to stand 80% of the time.

youve probably gotten this question a dozen times but im just nosy, have you ever read grrm's other work a song of ice and fire? (NOT the tv show) if not, the way you post about messmer & marika's relationship makes me feel like youd love everything going on in those books haha

i do get a lot of comments telling me my OCs looks like characters from that (?) (and to this day i still do not look up any of those characters to see how they look like aksjfjkdfjkd), so a lot of ppl just assume i've read those books but i have never read any of it. yeah 🥲🥲

but some of my mutuals do blog about the show and the books a lot, and ngl after the DLC, im kinda curious ? so maybe i'll check it out in the future... idk yet.

last time i checked out a Western fantasy series........... it was crazy. (the fit i was having after i read through all Witcher books because of the TV show...... idk if anyone even remember that phase of this blog, but the reason i started playing videogame in the first place is because of Witcher)

up until this point i only look at Elden Ring in comparison to other Fromsoft games (and Sinosphere culture influence in the theme and design), but lately i do feel like i should check out GRRM work as well, but i also feel like it'd literally make my brainrot even worse so................ decision, decision.

[antiphan]

oh no it wasn't the doll being bent over, it was actual dan, during the "wrestling", right in my face

my brain chemistry is altered permanently

Oh.

Oh. Oh.

No i get you. No for real that was insane. I can't even like, say anything on that one. Of course you sent that to me. It's the fucking gay sex part. Yeah no that was gay porn.

obsessed with the thought that they said explicitly in ntn that only the tomb keeper and her cavalier could approach (and open) the tomb. kiriona says harrow's has no cavaliers living, and yet 8-ish years ago there was a little girl half dead with half a face beneath her nails who approached the tomb. 8 years ago, there was a little girl missing her half her face who followed, and witnessed the opening of the tomb. the reverend daughter and her cavalier, before the tomb; a lock and a key.

oh my god anon this is so good

[kirbybecomesastarwarrior]

I feel like wolf's in sheep's clothing by set it off would suit galacta knight

YES!!! 1000x This is his character song now!

In the KBASW (AU), Galacta Knight's unsealing is done by someone else, not Meta Knight. And let's just say it brings about disastrous results... And thank you for the recommendation!

The amount of fist-pumping I did during this was insane (added it to my playlist). I had to draw this: the song fit him so well! *Chef kiss*

[sibylsleaves]

i think there really might be something to the theory that Eddie caught encephalitis from Chimney. In the scene in 7x06 where they're talking about the encephalitis Eddie says "we should probably all get checked" and that felt very foreboding to me, even before 7x07

@transboybuckley is that you???

the real question eddie is DID YOU get checked???? and also why was chimney fully allowed to cuddle his daughter and make out with his wife like wasn't he...still contagious...

[tosahobi-if]

hi yeri, i love your work so far, i seriously love this genre and ur demo does such a good job of introducing the social politics naturally and early. I wanted to ask what do you think is the best way to fluster each ro? like giving them butterflies in their tummy haha

hi! that makes me so happy to hear 🥹 thank you for enjoying the demo!

jinwol i think would be the mc suddenly acting not according to their personality and ordering him around? haha! something like grabbing his wrist and dragging him along or suddenly telling him to shut up. or pinning him against a wall. these are not all specific fantasies of his i swear

yul finds vulnerability cute! they get more excited the more flustered the mc gets. i think to them they like feeling like a “special existence” when it comes to the mc, so the more they get the sense that it’s something only THEY can see the more they get butterflies.

iseul is the exact scene of throwing/getting thrown at the end of a duel to a weapon pointing at a vital point and being told something like “i win.” never say she’s not consistent HAHAHA but in more seriousness i think the big hurdle is getting her to realize her own feelings. even the smallest thing will give her butterflies after that! otherwise you could literally be trapped in a small space with her and she’d just say something like “this is cozy!”

??? doesn’t really get butterflies i don’t think, but they get flustered the more incompetent they feel. they sincerely hate feeling powerless in a situation, and the more they start to feel inadequate the more they start to mess up. even so i think the idea of seeing the normally calm-looking ??? turn bright red and start floundering is cute (≧∀≦)

[basilpaste]

I’ve seen you posting abt In stars and time and I’m intrigued! What’s your pitch on it for someone interested in playing?

OKAY. so. in stars and time is an indie rpg! its also a time loop story! you play as siffrin, who just so happens to be the fourth member to join a party on a quest to save the country from being frozen in time! in fact, you start on the parties final mission! its the day before they face the evil king.

and then you start the journey to the final battle! only for things to start from the top as quick as it began.

to stop talking with my 'pitch voice'. uh! isat is a fucking fantastic game. the story is great, the characters are so lively that you never for a second question how important they are to each other, and even the mechanics are great! the way the time loops work in game makes sense from both a story perspective and a quality of life one.

its also a BEAUTIFUL game. its entirely in black and white and most of the graphics are pixel art, but theres also a lot of cgs and talk sprites that really bring things to life! the music bangs, the actual rpg mechanics are CRAZY charming, and everything about it is super duper cohesive. it gets really easy to get in siffrins head, to feel what theyre feeling. both the writing and the gameplay do a GREAT job establishing this.

and!! its only 20 dollars??? and the game is like upwards of 12 hours of gameplay? like the speedrun record is 4 hours. you get a LOT of bang for your buck.

i will say! it gets really heavy near the end. there are content warnings when you open the game and you should head those warnings! it can be kind of a lot!! in a really good and well done way, but still kind of a lot!!

Hey Aby! In anticipation of the 205 chapter, I decided to go back and re-read Mey-Rin's and Bard's for clues of what may happen next to Snake and Finny. I noticed something interesting with both arcs - they both seem to hint at what their ultimate fates will be. While Bard's arc is all about meeting with wife and son while in a coma and he practically promises to return to them, Mey-Rin is an unwitting witness to a sex act, in an uncharacteristically graphic scene for Yana. Do you think that death is ultimately on the cards for Bard and (I guess) a marriage for Mey-Rin? Or is it all contained to their arcs themselves and does not mean anything beyond completing a mission?

⚠️ long post ⚠️

Assignments as foreshadowing?

I think that if Mey-Rin gets married, it would not be foreshadowed by her seeing sex acts through a keyhole.

She joined Qīng Bāng at a very young age and worked as a sniper, but she saw a lot going on around her. Well, as much as she could see without glasses. There were drugs, alcohol, and probably prostitution in and around the opium den, as well as throughout Limehouse district. One of her early assignments as an assassin was to shoot this guy at a hotel or perhaps in his own huge manor, right? He was a rival gang leader, and she shoots him while he's naked with some unnamed woman. He might have even been right in the middle of having sex when she shoots him. She's witnessed a lot in her young life.... Getting married to anyone would be despite the things she has seen and done. Reminds me of how Katniss finally settles down and has kids in The Hunger Games, even though she's been thoroughly traumatized by her experiences. So far, at least, Mey-Rin seems to have kept her mind pretty well intact. I hope she can continue to do so.

I think we can safely say she has somehow managed to remain a virgin up to this point, too. Otherwise, Georg von Siemens' inappropriate actions towards her wouldn't have been enough to make her question whether she was still worthy of marriage. Going by "Rin" and dressing as a boy until she joins the Phantomhive household might have been partly to protect her virtue. Good thing Haku was apparently only interested in her sniper abilities.

In Baldo's case, the interaction with Joanna and his son might be an indication he will have to break whatever promises he's made to them. At least for now. I mean, his claim he can now properly cook fried eggs is an exaggeration "Sebastian" calls out even before Baldo can fully return to the living realm.

I put Seb in quotations because I'm not sure whether Sebastian has infiltrated Baldo's coma or if he's just a nagging figment of his imagination.

Then again, maybe he will soon join them. We still don't have confirmation that he and the others safely made it out of Athena Sanatorium, thanks to a cliffhanger and moving on to the next assignment, with Finny and Snake. Next time we see Baldo et alia, they might be trying to take leave of the place... when Polaris freaking shows up, mad as all hell. Even if Ronald and William stick around and actually enter the fray (since it's another bizarre doll to take down), I don't see it ending too well. Baldo does seem to have this uncanny ability to survive, though, even if everyone else around him doesn't....

Either way, I highly doubt he will ever make it to Shanghai with the others, even if the others do. And if he stays in England and somehow still survives to the end of the series, this is most likely a false promise, as well:

Mostly because he's just that terrible in the kitchen.

I still somewhat hope Mey-Rin and Baldo end up together, despite their age difference. At least she is an adult already. Also, it was a very common practice in Victorian England for older men to marry much younger women, especially if those men were widowers. Much like Katniss again, perhaps Mey-Rin would only pair well with a man who has experienced much of the same trauma. Likewise, Baldo might now have trouble settling down with some completely innocent sort of woman. Katniss and Peeta go through the deadly and maddening games together. Baldo's been altered by war and losing his wife and son. Mey-Rin has been altered by her years as an assassin for a drug dealer and gang. Mey-Rin and Baldo have both been enlisted as servants for our earl, chosen because of their abilities and previous training; now they volunteer as pawns in this deadly game of chess against their young master's brother. Perhaps their bond will be strengthened by all this... if they live to see the end of it.

The main thing the first two assignments have in common, besides their basic instructions, is that Mey-Rin and Baldo each flashback to the events directly leading up to being offered positions as our earl's servants. Mey-Rin's flashback is triggered by Jane offering her the opportunity to switch sides. Her flashback shows us why her loyalty stays with our earl and Sebastian -- with the Phantomhive household.

Baldo's is triggered by Ada admitting her guilt as a survivor during warfare; Baldo feels much the same.

And he also develops loyalty towards our earl, Sebastian, and the other servants. Just like Jane ends up aiding the infiltrators, so does Ada.

As I'm typing this up, I realize "hunger games" describes both Mey-Rin's and Baldo's lives before: Mey-Rin is once fooled into biting a boot and is regularly given moldy bread to eat... while Baldo's battlefield starvation tempts him to cannibalize his fallen comrades. Sebastian barely arrives in the nick of time to stop him from eating the arm of Terry, or whoever that poor dead dude was, if it wasn't Terry. Sebastian shows up with a picnic basket filled with afternoon tea items and possibly more. The first thing our earl does to extend any kindness to Mey-Rin is provide her with the first hot, freshly prepared meal she's had in ages, perhaps as far back as she can remember.

Back to their assignments; they are paired with people who are in our earl's network but are not his servants. But Finny and Snake (and his snakes) are both Phantomhive servants, so do we get a major flashback from Finny, from Snake, from both, or from neither one? So far, Finny is having single-panel flashbacks and even briefly stating things he recalls to Snake and the top students. The orphanage reminds Finny of the research facility in some ways, and that could segue him into a major flashback. Since Doll is there, she could trigger Snake into one. However, before the assignments, they were the two we already knew the most backstory for, and we might never learn all that much more about either one. To deal with both characters, we might just continue to get tiny snippets here and there.

But Mey-Rin has a choice to make -- choose Jane's offer or remain loyal to our earl. She remains loyal, and Jane even helps her and Ran-Mao break up the blood collection operations there before parting ways. Mey-Rin and Ran-Mao just need to get to our earl and make their report.

Baldo still has a choice to make -- stay in England and return to our earl... or go with Lau and the others to China. Like I said before, he might never get to China, even if he tries. I do expect him to ultimately end up staying behind, possibly loaded down with fresh feelings of survivor's guilt. If Ada is still around when we get back to them, she might also decide to stay back and help Baldo take down the Aurora Society.

With Finny and Snake, I don't think Finny's loyalty could ever come into doubt. His choice might come down to whether he has to fight Snake. But I don't think Finny will see much, if any, choice in the matter if it comes to that.

Snake is probably about to hear Doll's full tale about the circus members' fates. Then his choice (and the choices of his individual snakes) is to either help Doll get revenge... or attempt to destroy her and shut down the orphanage. Snake is the last to join our earl's household, so he could end up the first to leave it (I don't think Tanaka has truly left). There's also the possibility that one of his snakes, like Emily, chooses Doll and must be eliminated.

There is foreshadowing in each assignment, but most of that pertains to what ends up happening in each assignment. I don't know what long-term foreshadowing there is in the assignments, other than perhaps some things not directly related to them... like:

The chance of Jane popping up again later because she hinted that she might

The shapes of souls and "aptitudes" hinting about soul transplants

If Layla ends up being Heathfield's daughter

If Layla/Al ends up being some experiment of Undertaker's regarding soul transplants

What I do see is each servant's loyalty being put to the test, and they must make quick, fateful decisions. Whatever choices they make during their assignments, they will ultimately affect the outcome of the story. Each assignment definitely has long-reaching consequences; they are not little bubbles of existence.

I hope I answered your question thoroughly. I stayed up too late working on this -- but not finishing it -- and have been half asleep all day.

could you draw charwhit?

i love taking popular ships and making them go through messy breakups

[heliosphere-underthesky]

Wait, are you telling me that whatever this star's name/CygnusX-1 is doomed yaoi? Sign me up I'm so ready for angst

YES IT IS

It's very much doomed yaoi, anon. This series is full of silly planets and stars with space facts, but space is the perfect material for angst once you've read enough about them 🥹

Cygnus X-1 x HDE 226868 is just one of the more outright ones, but everyone's got their angst story one way or another! Even Earth.
