#history doesn't repeat itself but it sure fucking rhymes

[estheticpotaeto]

Oh cool destiel is trending. I wonder which part of the modern world is burning down now.

[bibibbon]

I just finished mha but I'm not sure I understand the message it tried to send We should reach out to individuals who need our help But all the villains are fucking dead?? Let alone a wife beater got little to no pushback aside from his son who's also slowing dieing

Imma be honest MHA finished and I still don't even know what the messaging was supposed to be. I know I have already talked about MHA's mixed messaging before the manga ended but I didn't think that we could go worse with the messages but we did?!?!

We literally did!!?!? Like look at the final chapter and tell me that chapter wasn't full of history rhyming itself or repeating. I get that the last chapter was supposed to be a foil to the first chapter of MHA but it just turned out to be the same nothing flipping changed. Actually, if you think about it with kids reaching the quirk singularity and more powerful quirks that means more people prone to become victims to a society that hasn't changed at all.

This is probably unintentional by horikoshi but dam it could of been good IF THAT WAS THE POINT OF THE STORY but nope the story tries to end on a happy ending that doesn't feel happy.

Heck Hori messed up with the messaging so bad that even the Japanese fandom are complaining about the lack of criticism when it comes to enjis character and how the todoroki arc was handled!!!

The todoroki families ending was just cruel.

Rei is stuck with taking care of her abuser.

Dabi is stripped of any freedom as he is slowly and painfully dying while not being able to have some peace without his father visiting and saying that he will dance in hell with him (even though enji doesn't understand or hasn't experienced just how much his son went through)

Fuyumi lost her job and had to get another because of enjis reputation

Shoto literally debuted as a hero and was known as enjis son it's literally took him 8 years for people to start looking at him more than just enjis son!!!

Natsou is the only one who got a decent ending here

Danganronpa 3: Despair arc episode 5.

Thonks.

Into a flashback of kid Ryota being bullied by some kids.

Having rubbish tipped onto him as they call him dirty and taking photos.

Kids are scary man.

Poor Ryota.

And his parents suck, and he copes by watching cartoons.

This got way to relatable.

Cool seeing his set up and such but man he's so stressed which... yeah, shout out to all the artists and animators out there.

Ya'll are great.

Back to Chisa heading to the Reserve Course.

Aaand we don't see it, it's skipped over of course.

I get that it's her punishment and it's a downgrade from her usual class which she loves.

And I know kids can be asshole's.

But I just hate that teaching these kids is considered a punishment.

These kids are looked down upon by everyone at the main school, it's just sad seeing that everyone really was against them.

Hammering the point that any one of those kids could've become Izuru Kamakura.

And for teaching them Chisa was treated awfully for it.

It's werid seeing Juzo calmly talk to someone.

Chisa's heard about the Kamakura project, I think it's too late though.

This sounds werid but I'm kinda glad they're not gonna be able to save Hajime.

Because can you imagine if they got him out and saved him?

The Reserve Course would probably be shut down or something especially knowing where the funds for it were going.

Hajime would be more depressed than ever, and these guys are not the people to give the "You're more than a talent speech."

Unless it's Chiaki than its a whole other story.

But than they'd be seperated and Hajime is back to square one.

... Fuck is the good ending for Hajime bring tortured so bad he literally becomes someone else?

I mean it does get better, hopefully if the end of Danganronpa 2 is any sign.

But man that's sad.

Did not need to re-live Juzo beating Hajime.

Ohh so they covered up Hajime being involved by saying he's been expelled.

Clever.

And looking like Jin Kirigiri wasn't involved, as they say the other staff on the board run the school.

Idk if its better or worse he wasn't involved.

Because either way he's enabling it.

I really like the idea of him being in on it, but than regretting it.

Much like the Director, case of history repeating itself.

And that guilt playing into his actions in the first game.

And partly why he kept Kyoko at arms length, he didn't want her getting caught up into this.

But also knew if Kyoko was near him she would snuff out the project easily.

It's okay if he's not, just makes him both a bad headmaster and a bad father.

"Make sure you're students don't make the news again."

Oh you're in for a rude awakening.

But Nagito's gone missing.

Suspicious.

And we get a shot of the applications of the 78th class.

Hell yeah.

And Jin looking at Kyoko's. Incase we forgot she's his daughter.

... Chisa why would you want to be Munakata's anything nevermind beloved?

Sworn enemy maybe, but beloved?

Aww the class having a celebration for her that's so sweet.

And Chiaki planned it, and she's been holding the class together.

Love that for her.

Fuyuhiko pretending he doesn't care but he does.

Man I missed these guys, even though it hasn't been long at all.

Hiyoko got taller, holyshit.

Gundam and Sonia giving a toast in true Gundam fashion might just be the sweetest thing I've ever seen.

Ryota saying he has no time for friendship.

I get your busy man but you can't stop friendship.

It will find you, you will be friended.

And yes that is a threat.

... Wait a sec... That wasn't Ryota, that's Imposter?!

Twogami my boy! I was wondering where he was.

Awh he's been covering for and looking after Ryota.

That's so sweet.

"This show can't end till its characters get a redemption."

I hope so.

"People can flake you out but carbs are always there."

Same ol Twogami.

He's not wrong though.

A plane and a fancy car.

..... SHE'S HERE.

And she put a bomb in her purse, or her purse was a bomb.

Either way that limo is gone, heh unintentional rhymes.

Junko Enoshima has entered the building.

As fabulous as ever.

And of course she's narrating her own life and insulting Mukuro at the same time.

I like how Mukuro's voice is almost monotone, balancing out Junko's more loud upbeat voice.

Junko's narration including the tragedy, so she had this shit planned from the get go.

This afternoon in fact.

Man imagine joining secondary school like what are your goals?

Oh I'm gonna destroy the whole world.

Can't even call her overconfident because she did it.

Mukuro being... Infatuated? With Junko doesn't suprise me, mainly cos I've seen that clip of them in the limo before.

Without context.

But even than makes sense, they may be the despair sisters but Junko has always been the mastermind behind the whole operation.

And for Mukuro to go through and do this shit for Junko, yeah she's gotta care for her a lot.

... Maybe too much...

The fact they both talk while Junko casually tries to kill Mukuro, I guess that's how they bond.

Because if they wanted to, they could kill the other.

The only one who would and succeeded was Junko.

"What an affect my bloody corpse would have on her."

Honestly, yeah I think it would. Junko wouldn't have killed her if it didn't give her despair.

Love that Mukuro didn't even know about them going to Hope's Peak.

Once again Junko is the brains of the operation.

Love the friendship between Ryota and Twogami.

And it makes sense why Ryota is so focused and why he spends all his time on his talent.

It's all he had growing up he has to make it.

Has to.

Annnd Ryota passed out.

Poor guy.

Twogami, my dude there are better and easier ways to get someone to help you.

Rather than just grabbing Mikan and dragging her away.

Poor Mikan.

So Twogami realised he was struggling and got him to stay with him.

That's sweet.

Probably wasn't the best idea given it enabled him to overwork himself so much.

But still sweet.

I'm sad we don't get to know his name but I guess that's the point.

I like to think if he had one, Ryota knew it.

... AHHHH MAKOTO!!!

My boyyy!!

I didn't think we'd see him in the despair arc, or at least this early but here we are.

Oh Makoto, look at how happy and not traumatised he is.

Savour this moment.

His little pep talk to himself.

Annnd Junko's here narrating about her plan and drawing Monokuma.

Imagine telling her the random kid before her is the one who's gonna defeat her.

"Who knows maybe fate will drop someone into my lap."

Oh it will... And there he is.

Hi Hajime.

And incase we didn't know if already, Juzo's verbal and physical best down of Hajime was the final nail in the coffin and why he agreed to do the project.

Fuck you Juzo.

"You'll be fine."

... No... No he won't.

MEIOU and Taxes *2.6* over a Europa Universalis IV. I'm thinking of doin' a let's play...

~

That is, a middle-aged man playing over-complicated and punishingly difficult, modded to be even more so pc games whilst HAF, and peppered with humorous and insightful social commentary...

I do have all the equipment to actually make it happen, however, the video software has a bit of a learning curve, and this machine needs a complete wipe and reinstall and all the drivers and yada, yada. I'll do it tomorrow... (i've included a screenshot of the mods i'm running)

Jaysus Fucking Christ, video manipulation is time consuming. Maybe a move into Twitch...

The irony here is that I'm back on social media cuz I'm bored of gaming.

Of course, that would require a fairly strict regiment of personal hygiene upkeep and I'm just not ready for that kind of commitment...

~

I remember a time when Valve made video games, and the age of mods was young.

They called me bloodclot.

I was the best.

NME 4eva!!!

The arrival of steam, a DRM platform was thought to be the death of gaming, and most certainly an unwarranted intrusion upon personal privacy, which it is but remember, Tiktok is spyware.

Your phone is spyware. Yada, Yada...

However, back then they had a little side project called greenlight iirc, that allowed unsponsored developers to ply *their* trade today called early access, and has produced truly some of the greatest gems that you probably never heard of.

~

Fuck Videos, just watch while I play with it...

Twitch is turning out to rock pretty fucking hard.

~

I will need identification and a phone.

History doesn't repeat itself, but it sure do rhyme...

~

Remember that time when the Transformers jet was actually the Veritech fighter from Robotech/Macross? Still waitng on that live action, tho...

~

Actually, it's Roman...

Although still relatively primitive today, medical knowledge in Italy 2000 years ago was mostly non-existent. Apparently and rightly so to the unknowing, when you stab a man in the heart and he dies almost instantly you could forgive the people of that time for believing that the heart was were your essence and you resided, thus giving your heart to Rome was akin to giving your everything to Rome. From everyone to Rome. This is the classical meaning of fascism.

When you're young, a liberal.

When you grow up, a conservative.

If you are intelligent...
