#he checks every box

Sooo guess who's about to finish part 6 of jjba and it's barely been two days....

R.I.P my nonexistent sleep schedule

Ok so I know I haven't finished it yet but I would like to ramble about a character I didn't like at first and now is one of my all time favourites. If you don't wanna read all my bullshit fawning over a fictional character,ya don't have to.

But if you do want to..

Ok so I was a bit on the fence with anasui when I first saw him,now it's not that I disliked him but he wasn't liked either. In my opinion he looked like a diavolo rip off lmao.

And then that mother fucker did this

And I was sold. Like fawning over him and he'd only been on screen 1 minute if that.

Anyway he's hot,it's 5am and way too early for the emotional rollercoaster of this fucking part.

All it took was that one simple move and I was a fucking goner,someone has to give this man an award for how fast he won me over Jesus Christ.

I don't typically fall for them that fast,fuck I didn't even fall for doffy until I got to punk hazard and he had decent character development by then. But anasui? Literally one minute and one move. Get this man a prize he deserves it.

BITCH they had a WHOLE LOTTA NERVE to SPECIFICALLY HAVE STEVE SAY "bro, it's hard to date when nobody has shared life experience with u"

......IN THE MOVIE WHERE THE GUY WITH SO MANY SHARED LIFE EXPERIENCES SHOWS THE FUCK BACK UP. THE GUY WHO LIVED IN 1940S NY WITH HIM. THE GUY WHO SERVED IN WW2 WITH HIM. THE GUY WHO GOT THE SUPERSOLDIER SERUM LIKE HE DID. THE GUY WHO MANAGED TO STILL BE ALIVE AND LIKE THIRTY IN THE 2000S JUST LIKE STEVE. WHAT WERE THEY THINKING. WHY WERE THEY SO STUPID

I need more Elias Bitchard in my life. I'm already drinking in every ounce of him I can get from the episodes, to fan art and literally all the fan fics. I want to turn him into a smoothie and inject him into my veins(in a completely normal non-weird way). I'm like speed listening to tma just for Elias at this point and it hate him so badly for all that he has done. But fuck me(not really), he's really hot and I love the energy he exudes.

at some point i will figure out how to write the post-canon, post-empire edelgard autonomy fic of my dreams. it just feels like a very big task and maybe like with playing the dane, i’m simply not old and traumatized enough to manage it yet.

but my vision is thus: it’s set years (realistically, decades) after the end of crimson flower, when everything has gone as right as it can possibly go. fódlan is thriving. the social reforms have taken effect. the nobility system is nearly eliminated, if not entirely so, with titles made merely symbolic. social mobility, welfare, and prosperity are high. there’s an explosion in arts and culture and technology. brigid and duscur have gained independence; relations with sreng and almyra are much improved; heck, maybe they've even figured it out with dagda. in my most idealistic version, leicester and faerghus would eventually be ceded back to become autonomous regions, essentially disbanding the adrestian empire. rule is no longer hereditary, but merit-based. there's a roadmap for the future, and everything is on track—and more than that, people at all points on the power spectrum have already seen it bear fruit. with or without edelgard, it will be pursued. there's buy-in. they believe.

of course, it's not perfect—nothing can be—but edelgard's vision has been fulfilled. the people are empowered. humanity is free. fódlan has healed.

and somehow, she's had enough time to resolve her goals outside of politics, too. those who slither in the dark have been eradicated. edelgard and lysithea's second crests have been successfully removed, allowing them to live if not full lives, then substantially longer ones than they would have with their twin crests intact. who knows—maybe she finally gets around to having that wedding.

point for point, every item listed in edelgard's manifesto has been checked off. the ghosts of her past have been laid to rest. she can finally take off her crown. she can finally pursue the quiet, humble life she's wanted for so long. she can finally breathe.

... but can she?

edelgard is nothing if not driven. her intelligence, vision, and sheer willpower allowed her to plan and execute a revolution against two countries and the most powerful institution on the continent, all while she was still a teenager. as royalty, her life was never truly hers even before she became heir to the adrestian throne, with all the additional baggage of survivor's guilt and the desire for vengeance and her need to ensure nothing that happened to her can ever happen to anyone else, ever again.

so what happens when that drive has no outlet? what happens when someone who has been constantly in motion, constantly working and planning and preparing every spare second of every day since she was fourteen years old, suddenly has to stand still? what happens when someone whose hands have been bound for so long—first literally in the dungeons of enbarr, then by the weight and responsibilities of her crown—is set free?

being edelgard, she would step away from the throne, no matter how hard it was for her to give up control. she's always been focused on the endgame, and she knows that if she doesn't let go, she'll be setting the wrong tone for fódlan's future. she's too devoted to that endgame to cling to power much longer than she needs to, though i could see her making some excuses and trying to iron out just a few more things to buy herself some more time to mentally prepare before she's done for good.

but who would she be then? who is the woman without the crown? what becomes of a machine once it is no longer needed, when it has made itself obsolete? what about when that machine is a person with legs and arms and an innate unwillingness to gather dust on a shelf?

what happens when you get everything you want? what happens when all your wanting has been for others to thrive, and now you have to want only for yourself? how do you discover who you are when you've spent decades being everything for everyone else? how do you find meaning again? how do you find purpose?

after a lifetime of devotion and passion and movement, how do you learn to sit with yourself, and be quiet, and be still?

gosh, i would love to meet her. i would love to pick her brain. but boy, i do not envy the work that girl has to do.

look I know I’m literally preaching to the choir here, but it drives me insane how many heterosexual women allow themselves to date the most mid men on the face of the earth. all the incel talk about how women only date “chads” is patently, provably false if you happen to know any actual het women (and is simply projection on mens’ part). women who could literally be runway models regularly date men who look like the creature from the black lagoon. and yes, looks aren’t everything, beauty fades over time, 100% agree. but it just bugs me so much precisely because most men would consider marrying a woman they didn’t find physically attractive to be INSULTING to them.

think about all the movies and tv shows you’ve seen where the protagonist is an average to below-average looking guy, who always ends up winning over a shockingly gorgeous woman by the end of the story, usually because of his humor or wit or other personality trait (so most 2000s romcoms lol). how many movies can we name where a conventionally attractive man pines over and wins the affections of a woman not considered conventionally attractive? (besides Shallow Hal, which debatably might not even fit into this category, and of which I’m sure many thinkpieces have likely already been written, so I won’t write another here.) how many where a conventionally unattractive woman is herself the protagonist? I doubt we could name very many of either. it’s so ingrained in our culture.

men feel entitled to date an attractive woman, that they are owed it, and most would find the notion of partnering with and marrying a woman they find unattractive to be genuinely demeaning to them. yet I know SO many women who date (and are marrying! and having sex with!) the most neanderthal-looking men just because he’s “good enough”. and like I said — looks aren’t everything. it’s true, and I know and agree with that, even if it sounds contradictory with this post — it’s just my point is that the VAST majority of men would NEVER do that for you. no matter how kind, intelligent, funny, capable, hardworking, accomplished, empathetic, or thoughtful you are, at the end of the day, if he thought you weren’t attractive or “fuckable”, he wouldn’t be with you.

het women, PLEASE raise your standards and keep them high. if you don’t find him sexually attractive, you don’t have to be with him. you don’t have to justify it to anyone. you can reject anyone for any reason. you don’t have to settle just because you’re afraid you won’t find anyone else. it is better to be single than to settle, EVER, for ANY reason. if he doesn’t check EVERY one of your boxes, don’t waste your time. life is beautiful and wonderful and fulfilling without being partnered with a man. you don’t need to settle. there is joy and success and fulfillment outside of relationships.
