things TeSTAR has canonically done that drives me nuts (spoilers!!)
Kim Raebin was accused of plagiarizing... himself.
Park Moondae arranged a concert with someone who kidnapped and attempted to murder him. UNPROMPTED.
Cha Eugene ran away from his hotel room in the middle of a massive problem that he caused with only a single note. He also didn't bring his cell phone OR wallet.
Seon Ahyeon tried to put Moondae in a psychiatric hospital (DESERVE)
Keun Sejin believed Moondae when he said he was a transmigrator with basically zero proof. Hello???
Ryu Chungwoo got into a serious car accident that destroyed his whole life and career and immediately was like. Haha what if I join this idol survival show. AND DEBUTED AS LEADER.
Park Moondae caused an entire company to dissolve
Bae Sejin: [started IdolCo with 0 basic skill] "I think the most important part of being an idol is basic skill"
Keun Sejin was the first person to surpass the System's potential limitation (!!!)
#debut or die#clutching manhwa readers by the pant legs begging them to read the novel it's so good#these boys drive me crazy and i love them#i know there are only like 3 people in this fandom but. please please please.#WHAT IF YOU WERE A RANDO FAILED CIVIL SERVANT WANNABE WHO WAS TRANSMIGRATED INTO SOME RANDO'S BODY#WITH A SYSTEM WINDOW FORCING YOU TO DEBUT AS AN IDOL OR DIE#BUT ALONG THE WAY YOU DISCOVERED THAT YOU REALLY LOVED BEING AN IDOL#AND YOUR LONELY LIFE IS TRANSFORMED BY THIS TEAM OF 20-SOMETHINGS YOU DEBUTED WITH SO YOU'RE LIKE FAMILY#WHAT THEN#there are also so many cool plot twists and touching moments and clever schemes pleaseeee#if you're an idol fan or a transmigration fan or just like good stories i think you should get into debut or die#i know y'all followed me for genshin but. haha. what if.

So everyone's talking about the new episode right now. Understandably so, since it had so much new evidence! In fact, I'm going to talk about it as well. However, instead of focusing on the bombshells David dropped or Levi's secret, I'm going to do what I do best: Focus on Ace and ignore literally everything else. /hj
(Spoilers for Chapter 2, Episode 12!)
All joking aside, I'm sure you're wondering what the hell I'm talking about. Ace literally said, like, five lines of dialogue this episode. And yeah, you're right. Actually, that sort of ties into what I'm talking about.
Okay, time to explain. The thing I want to talk about is this: Ace is weirdly...Not as confrontational as usual this episode? Let me show what I mean through examples.
What's so special about this moment? Well, strangely enough, it's what comes after it.
Now, when I first watched the episode I laughed and thought, "Oh, someone insulted Ace, now Ace is going to be angry" and then they never cut back to him being angry. They just said that (admittedly very funny) line and moved on.
And after it happened, I didn't think too much of it. I was far too consumed by the episode's greatness to care too much, and Ace's reaction wasn't necessary for the scene anyway.
These two lines aren't as strong for what I'm trying to say, so I'll lump them together.
But I thought it was worth mentioning that in the first photo, Ace joins in with Nico and Levi on saying Arturo should've been better at his job. But after Arturo scolds the three of them, as well as everyone else by extension, it only cuts back to Nico and Levi. Which is fine, it can be assumed that since Ace's comment was a late addition, shorter, and didn't have too much substance, him not getting a reaction makes sense (I mean he's not the one who got called a whore like Jesus Christ Arturo--).
In the second photo, Hu tells Ace to stop blaming Nico because they have an airtight alibi, and Ace...Just shuts up. Nico complains about being interrupted and they move on to other people's alibis (or more like the lack thereof). Which sorta makes sense, Ace can't really refute her point because he can't prove she didn't have breakfast with Nico. Then again, he could've made a point to say no one can prove they did have breakfast together, since they were in private, but still. Maybe Ace is too scared to seriously argue with Hu after that slap, haha.
It's this last example that actually made me notice that there may be anything resembling a pattern here:
During this part of the episode, I was immediately reminded of J's line about Ace being incapable of being quiet and expected Ace to refute her point. After all, it's basically the same as refuting her earlier point. He just has to say that he's not always spontaneously combusting every 5 seconds like she thinks again. He's not a grenade launcher in a glass house. More like a small batch of fireworks, thank you very much.
But Ace doesn't say anything. This is only made more obvious by Charles immediately cutting off the conversation there.
And this moment made me think something. Keep in mind I could be totally overthinking this an unnecessary amount, but that's what most of theories end up being anyway.
Since the conversation is immediately ended by Charles, DRDTdev could've ended J and Ace's interaction off with Ace trying to insult her back, maybe him going "Listen here, you--" before Charles cuts them off because they have a trial they need to finish. But DRDTdev decided to not make Ace have any reaction whatsoever to this insult, at least not one the audience can see. And based on how loud and opinionated Ace is, I'm guessing that if the comment did make him have an extreme reaction, we definitely would have heard him say as much. But we don't.
I think what makes all this so weird to me is that whenever someone is condescending to Ace, usually he's very upset and it shows. In trial 1, we see him be one of the few to cave pretty quick to the idea that they were wrong and that Teruko isn't the culprit. Yet when Whit says Charles isn't the culprit, Ace suddenly feels very strongly about it, because Whit actively talked down to him about it, (I think Whit said something like "use your big boy words" but I'm too lazy to rewatch the whole trial to find it) and now Ace doesn't want to agree with him (Or at least that was how I interpreted it, he's so petty I love him). So you'd think he'd be more resistant against those who kept making comments about his intelligence or demeanor, but so far, he hasn't.
That could mean two things. One, he's the culprit and is trying to at least vaguely avoid unnecessary confrontation and bringing attention to himself. But honestly, I doubt even that would stop Ace from impulsively insulting people back.
The second option is this:
My first thought and explanation in my head for this connects to Ace's overall arc. Let's recall Ace's secret quote:
"I don't know what to do with myself anymore"
This line gives off a sense of hopelessness. Like Ace has completely given up on everything.
And for some reason, a couple of the moments above made me feel, at least slightly, the same thing. If Charles says Ace is so stupid he's never seen anyone more stupid ever before in his life and didn't think it scientifically possible for anyone to be that stupid? Ace has no response. If J says another line about Ace's explosive demeanor? Ace has no response.
I don't know, something about Ace just not bothering to refute them makes me feel that something is off. He complains that everyone sees him as an idiot and how he hates it earlier in the chapter. He seems so distressed as he does it, it's a full-on break down.
And yet, when people do exactly what he was talking about here, he can no longer muster up a response. It's like he's given up on changing their minds. He knows they think he's stupid, and impulsive, and intolerable, and he thinks there's nothing he can do about it anymore. Blowing up at them will only make them think they're right. So he's given up on doing anything at all.
I suppose my line of reasoning is that maybe small details like this will pile up over time, as Ace, unnoticeably at first, loses some of his fire bit by bit, until inside he's just...Empty. He doesn't know what to do. He's so tired, and he doesn't know anything that can help or distract him from his situation. And seeing as the secret quotes seem to embody a character's mindset at death...That seems to be the place Ace might die at. Perhaps even at his own hands, who knows.
Is that an overreaction on my part? Possibly. Am I overanalyzing microscopic details? Yes. But that's my job.
So anyways I really enjoyed this episode and Ace was great too! Yippee for the return of DRDT, and my Eden culprit idea not being completely debunked yet!
#i can find meaning in anything ace says if i try hard enough haha#i haven't seen new ace content in a year so its not surprising i immediately had thoughts#even if he barely did anything this episode#not a complaint too much focus on him and i'll start worrying he's the culprit (plot twist: i already am)#danganronpa despair time#drdt#drdt spoilers#ace markey#tw sui implied#(just that one sentence but just in case)

"What I sensed was some opening in your guard. I cannot name it and could not find it, leading me to believe that it was a brilliant gambit."
#jade empire#sun li the glorious strategist#radiant jen zi#crimson khana#yzstuff#yzje#bioware#look i'm just gonna say it: jade empire's plot twist is better executed than kotor's by LEAGUES#kotor gives you minimal hints (if at all?) about who you are#jade empire straight up has opponents tell you repeatedly that 'hey you fight weird. might wanna check that out haha'#then we checked and found out alright#kotor rips the rug from under your feet#jade empire hands you one puzzle piece at a time and watches your world crumble when they give you the final piece :)))

During online class, I tend to do doodles just so I won't get sleepy, but idk what came over me to do a drawing of this instead 😭 altho I have a feeling it's bcs I'm in shock that there's almost no drawings of these two when I check the tags??? + all I've been doing recently is doodles/sketches so I need to remember how to draw lolol
I also do not know if Azul's blush being blue is canon or just a popular hc, but Imma just roll with it and edit it out if it's red KASJHAKSJh
Bonus doodle of something like moments before this disaster and a clean version of the img for fun:
Almost forgot to tag @thehollowwriter kJAHSAKJSh
#twisted wonderland#twst#deuce spade#azul ashengrotto#azul x deuce#deuce x azul#drawing#doodle#azudeu#Only learned of their ship name bcs of reblogs nice#But this is just how I imagine the confession would go if Deuce does it#Since I think I saw Azul doing the confessing most of the time in the fics#Or maybe Azul's confession is the one that stuck to me the most#Haha idk there's like less than 15 fics but the plot's getting mixed up in my head again#Might only do doodles or just rest after this for few days since Imma have to study

(earth shattering discovery) “what do you hope to gain from this?” carys asks again, “why do you steal memories? please, think about your actions”. her heart hurts as she watches the small cat-sprite. she looks deep into his eyes, hoping to see that sparkle, that glimpse of understanding, regret, humanity…but there is nothing. his stare is like a cold blade, and a twisted grin forms on his face as he replies “they don’t deserve them”
#anthro art#furry art#fantasy art#creature art#creature design#misadventure may#story of moxie#this one is basically my ref for carys haha#i hope ppl draw her for artfight ;A; i love her#man i got so confused with dates#ive been living 1 day in the future for the past 4 days#it’s nice to gain a day i guess :D#also plot twist: moxie has a mouth

Okay, I think my biggest problems so far with what I've seen of the animation is:
a. they've gone and made Adrien look 3 years younger instead of older
b. their eyes seem to lay flat in their skulls, like barbie dolls, almost.
They feel like alternate dimension versions of themselves. One thing's for sure, though: ZAG switched studios to save money rather than because they had plenty of it.
#haha plot twist it was all a dream and season 7 goes back to being animated by samg#<- delusional#miraculous ladybug#imma still watch ofc but exceedingly curious about where this will all go#ml salt#unfortunately

Tobi: Senpai, what’s your favorite color?
Deidara: Tobi, you’ve been asking me these stupid questions all day, hm. Can you ask me something a little more intelligent, maybe?
Tobi, in Obito voice: Okay. What do you think of our current government’s plan to revamp the federal rules on mortgage fees that will offer discounted rates for home buyers with riskier credit backgrounds, and force higher-credit homebuyers to foot the bill? Do you think this is a fair idea for high-risk leasers to be able to obtain affordable mortgage rates, or an unfair and backwards “incentive” for those with good scores and a decent payment history?
Deidara:
Deidara: … my favorite color is blue, hm.
#deidara#tobi#obito uchiha#incorrect quotes#plot twist: Deidara does his research on the question and comes back to Tobi with a well-thought-out answer#and Tobi’s like “Haha Senpai that’s funny! Do you think butterflies have toes?!”#Deidara is positive he’s being fucked with and “Tobi” is more than some idiot but nobody believes him 😅

OMG 26 PART 3
absolutely love how all the characters have distinct personalities, villain is so sweet :D
would be lovely to have a continuation, but ofc theres absolutely no pressure :)
your writing is so fun to read :)
Ok so I got like three asks for this (that's a lot ok) so I was forced to stop procrastinating
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3
26 - Part 4
Once Villain and Hero were out in the hallway, Villain cleared their throat to speak. The words seemed to get lost on the way to their mouth, though, and they stayed silent.
They could feel Hero's eyes on them, see their smirk out of the corner of their eye. Their very presence there was distracting enough that Villain almost forgot where their own library was. "What do you want to see the library for, anyway?"
"I don't want to see your library, Villain," Hero said, and their voice was like honey if honey had a superiority complex.
Villain drew to a halt in the hallway, turning slowly to face Hero, whose smirk had broadened now. "Then why the hell." they snapped. "Am I taking you to the library."
"A simple 'thank you, my darling Hero, for saving my ass like the wonderful person you are' would have sufficed."
"I am not feeding your ego." Villain rolled their eyes, looking away. "But thank you. It was... not completely shitty of you."
"I feel so loved." Hero said dryly. "No wonder Henchman hasn't realised you're in love with them when you're like this."
Villain glared at them. "Has it ever occurred to you that maybe I don't want them to realise?"
Hero opened their mouth to respond, but before they could say a word, a loud crash echoed from upstairs, followed by a scream.
Henchman.
#henchman x hero#hero x henchman#henchman x villain#villain x henchman#hero x villain#villain x hero#continuation#series#i cant fucking spell i wrote serie and seriees before i got it right#omg whats wrong with me im a writer#writeblr#writers on tumblr#writing snippet#request#technically?#plot twist#haha#you thought youd get smut#fluff#angst#NO#YOU GET CRASHES AND SCREAMS#love you all xxxxxx

2023 reads // twitter thread
The Sun and The Void
Venezuelan inspired high fantasy
follows a young outcast swordswoman taken in by her grandmother, the dark sorceress for a noble family, who relies on the magic to keep her alive after being attacked by monstrous creatures
and a young noblewoman who’s the shame of her family because of her mixed heritage and desire to use magic
both are manipulated by those with more power than them into a plot to free an ancient evil god
mineral based magic, politics, nonhuman MCs
#The Sun and The Void#aroaessidhe 2023 reads#hm. haha. surface level this is kinda interesting and cool but i am going to follow with so many complaints#though I feel like it didn’t go into the magic or worldbuilding as much as I wanted and it felt irrelevant to the characters#like how does the magic even work? idk man#though I feel like it didn’t go into it as much as I wanted and it felt irrelevant to the characters#very slow to start and the pacing is weird. it would also go ages without having the other POV. very disjointed?#it felt like the first 60% was just context for the group of characters getting together as a group and then it was a bit predisposed with#They’re A Group! even tho. they're barely a group for long#the authors note mentions that the story concept started with a line about the god and ritual and…..yeah I can kind of tell#I feel like everything was built up around it in a way that ultimately that part didn’t fit right#I never bought that any of them were actually like fully committed to the evil dark magic? and also there’s this plot twist#that they have to fully kill the sacrifices & I was like…did we not already know that? girl r you stupid what do you think sacrifice means#also#oh my god at like half way one of the MCs is like. oh finally this guy who I’ve been exchanging letters with for months turned up to get me#away from here! by the way I’ve been exchanging letters with this guy and we’re friends! and like. she’d been doing nothing much for the#last 10% of the book why was that not like….shown as something she was doing? and like build up the friendship for the reader instead of#just dropping it on us - and also that we know the character from the other POV. and hes a racist prick. and we're supposed to believe she'#charmed by him because of this letter writing WE DIDN’T SEE….. why.#and then also that is like. he’s a shitbag and it’s obviously not romantic at all. he’s manipulative and terrible to her#EXCEPT at the end it implies his bad behaviour is because demon and oh uwu he gets all beat up and maybe hes sowwy now#and starts to imply she likes and is attracted to him? and I get the impression the next book is gonna be like evil power couple dynamic?#which. feels like the first concept the author had; and then tried to build up to that but not effectively lmao#for the lesbians:#I DO APPRECIATE having an assumed love interest then realising that that was idealised and actually you have feelings#for this other person you’ve become friends with! nice slow switch up. though quite brief#I do however dislike that when she admitted her feelings to the first LI and she rejected her it was still framed as the other’s fault#for not reciprocating the feelings….worst trope….also like. it kind of conflated her not feeling that way to her having a bit of class disc#which. yikes? oh my god stop villainising people for not reciprocating romantic feelings (ALSO they turn out to be related anyway 🤪)#i just feel like the romance switchover could have been done with more nuance and complexity
