Before I go into this, Altered Beast starts with an outbreak as the organization behind the project ends up causing a city-wide pandemic when a helicopter carrying stuff that changed the main character crashes. Anyone without those enhancements got mutated into monsters.

Reader was stuck cleaning up the mess and still doesn't know if all the monsters have been dealt with so I imagine the Links' reactions hearing more about their past.

Reader: It was pure hell. Ending abominations of all kinds that used to be normal people. Only made worse when I had to fight ones that were once innocent children. The isolation only made it worse as there was no one to talk to. No one to tell me that things would get better or it wasn't your fault.

Sky: Dear Hylia...

Some of Reader's forms have access to some minor element manipulation. Merman can conduct electricity due to being made with electric eel genes. Garuda can whip up minor twisters. Gravity manipulation for UWH. Minotaur has fire breath and can harden. Dragon can breath bolts of lightning. The group being taught about bits of various mythology based on their forms.

Reader: My forms were made with the idea of mythological creatures and cryptids. Whether the real beasts exist is unknown. The Garuda is actually depicted as a protector to even sacred beast and servant to a deity in various religions or tribes.

Time: Interesting...

It definitely puts a lot of perspective into Reader's transformations. Also I can see the Links interacting more with them in their different forms. Definitely see Wind and Four hitching a ride on Reader's back for airborne forms like Garuda or Dragon.

Also Captain is gonna get picked up often by Reader in Abominable Snowman form cause he sucks at taking care of himself. Hyrule probably warms up better to Dragon than the actual creatures from Hyrule.

Garuda probably helps Sky feel less homesick as he must've miss his Loftwing or the feeling of flying. I can see Four making something similar to a hang glider seat so Reader can carry the bigger Links with their winged forms.

UWH with Time cause I can see Reader share the feeling of flight similar to fairies via zero gravity. Like a Peter Pan moment by holding his hand and guide him through it. Merman with Wind as he relate more with a form suited for the seas. Plus the Mermen from his era helped him during his first journey.

Werewolf and Twilight since having another wolf around makes him feel less lonely with his wolf side. Even if Reader is a different kind of wolf, they definitely goof off together. Also Twilight would definitely try to wrestle Werewolf Reader. I leaning towards Minotaur with Four especially since they can help him at the forge in this form. Lighting the fire made a lot easier.

Wild and Were-Bear/Grizzly as bears are one animal you can tame in BotW so having a constant ursa companion is definitely a plus. Especially since he would wrestle Reader like this. Legend and Were-Tiger partly cause I headcanon him as a cat person. Reader definitely intimidated blokes who got too close, kinda like Jasmine and Rajah from Aladdin.

Oh my goodness, I might have to do more research on this ^.^*

I'm inclined to agree with all of this. You've put a lot fo thought onto it and there's not mch I can add ot be ohonest.

But I think that Wild will also warm up to the Garuda because sacred beast. Sounds familiar, doesn't it? Not to mention that Wild is a bit protective of Twilight being a divine beast as well.

But he would also wrestle a bear, no doubt about it XD

Maybe UWH can Time with like... weightless therapy. Like in those salt baths where you just float in completely silence. I am forgetting the name of the stuff but you know what I'm talking about, right? It's not necessarily a sensory deprivation chamber. Just a pool of heavily salted water where you float since it equals the buoyancy of the person. Man, I wish I coudl think of the name.

But anyway- that.

Look, I rewatched all of Bravern to try and make more sense of it now that I know plot twists and stuff and honestly how does Lewis never ask anything about the cockpit that he was in for four seconds. I think he should mention it. I think he's allowed to talk about it.

Love, Not War

Revenge is a big theme in tgcf. We see quite a lot of people engage in it, largely to the detriment of others. Lang Ying, Jun Wu, Hua Cheng, Xie Lian himself, He Xuan, Lang Qianqiu- it's a whole list. While definitely there's a lot to learn from these characters and their actions, I realized something about Hua Cheng.

Specifically, I realized how much his motivations differ from the other Calamities. He Xuan and Jun Wu both want revenge upon those who've wronged them(and Jun Wu to perpetuate harm). Hua Cheng remains in this world not for revenge, but for love, and he's very serious about it. When Xie Lian asks after Hua Cheng’s ashes, he replies that they're in a safe location, and if that location is somehow destroyed anyway, he would no longer have a reason to live.

What he means is: if you are killed, I would rather die with you than have the chance to avenge your death. It's the logical conclusion of his state of being, but it's also very significant when compared to other characters in similar positions. Lang Ying and He Xuan both lose loved ones, and both prioritize revenge over returning to them. Hell, Lang Ying tries to trap the soul of his wife within him rather than leave this world with her. He Xuan, it seems, doesn't even know how to die. The only person we see come close to returning this sentiment is Xie Lian when his parents die, and it’s not fair to compare the two considering everything else Xie Lian was going through at the time.

The truth is that Hua Cheng’s appeal to Xie Lian(and most of us) is that his love for him is unconditional. It doesn't matter what he's done or will do, what station he holds, what he even has to offer, Hua Cheng will always choose Xie Lian. That means he'll choose him over revenge, too.

I've been rewatching Osomatsu-san and have been keeping track of the times the brothers have said each other's names/nicknames because I have always wondered about it so yeah this is very self-indulgent TT_TT but I will be sharing it below.

Note!

1. Included are Seasons 1-3 and The Movie (2019), however I did not include AUs apart from F6 and Girlymatsu, and skipped over recap episodes as well as ending songs and previews

2. I did not include times when their names was said but it wasn't pertaining to them specifically so things like "Osomatsu-kun/-san" as titles or "Karamatsu Girls"

3. I did not count the times where a brother would refer to them as a whole like when Karamatsu would say "brothers" or when Totty says "niisan-tachi" (brothers)

4. The term "niisan"/ "chounan" (older brother) and "suekko" (youngets child) are counted only if they are used as a non descriptor so things like "I'm the eldest", and "Todomatsu, the youngest" do not count. However, they sometimes translate as nicknames based on context so things like "Share with your big bro" and "Come on, little bro" count, I hope this made sense lol

5. This is not 100% accurate 'cause I might miss some, especially when they aren't put into the subs but I did my best to compile it :DD

"Have you ever seen [Barkov] fall? Has he ever fallen? He's never fallen his entire career!" "Uh—It's, uh, funny and I don't know if he'll care that I say this, but he's got those—he doesn't like the blades that you can snap in and out quickly. So when he needs to get his skates done in the middle of a game, he's gotta fully take off his skates, get 'em sharpened and retie them up—which is like one of the few guys in the league, I think, that still do that. So sometimes he'll have absolutely no edge, and he'll just find a way to, like, compensate and get through it—which is incredible." "That kind-of sucks though 'cuz that's like a bad dream to have. You're waiting on something else, like—even if the trainers just like snapped it back in or whatever, like maybe they had something different they can put in there. He probably wouldn't even know!" "[...] this guy's particular. He knows his game and he's goddamn good at it! And we don't say a word so!" "'Barky, we need you out there for the face off! There's two seconds left!'" "That's what I mean! He'll compensate and he'll still look better than all of us! Like if any of us had no edge like that, we'd be screwed, right? And he goes out there and does the Barky things that he does. We're all grateful for it! He's been getting me paid for 10 years now, so."

Perhaps I'm missing something, but if literally anyone can access that crew members' IG because it's public, than what's the big deal with the picture being out there? It was already out there, for anyone to see so long as they have an Internet connection. How do we even know someone gave it to the press at all? Pretty sure they know how to use the internet.

they said 'someone screen captured the picture and gave it to the press' which... idk man, it was publically available. if you don't want anyone but your pals seeing it then use the priv story mode on insta and if it gets out that way then yk...

but yeah, it's easy to blame other people but if you know you're not supposed to be posting certain pictures then maybe just... don't?

"Aaron Ekblad, our guest, Stanley Cup Champion from the Florida Panthers. One of your teammates, who you won a cup with, Oliver Ekman-Larsson—signing with the Maple Leafs. Can you give us a scouting report on OEL?" "Yeah, OEL's one of those perfect Swedes, right? You always hear that. You know, one of the best guys in the room always. Never really has a bad day, always smiling, always fun to chat with. You're getting a really poised, great puck-moving defenceman who can skate, and under pressure and big moments—can score. He does it all. It was a blessing to play with him for a year, and [I'm] happy for him moving forward."
