Lore update: so turns out I was doing the essay wrong and needed to completely redo it and that was not fun at all BUT I did get it done in time (submitted it at 11:42, it was due at 11:59)! Was it good? Fuck no. Am I expecting a fairly bad grade? 100%. Do I care at all rn? Not at all

as someone who loves classic literature, i really love how much it feels like each character in soulcalibur's story is influenced by the literature from the culture they come from. the japanese characters, especially mitsurugi and yoshimitsu, were probably the ones writers spent the most care with but i LOVE how much you see it in the european characters too. sophitia, cassandra, and aeon are all characters that feel like they were plucked out of a greek tragedy, and you can see so many echos of storybeats that many greek tragedies had. i guess its not hard to feel like that when the greek gods are so intertwined with their stories but still, it honestly feels so well thought out. to avoid being repetitive, im linking an in depth analysis from @laikaflash that talks about this right here

but i think my favorite example of this is raphael and amy tbh, but mostly raphael. as someone who so enjoys classic french literature, i cant help but see bits and pieces from the different stories i love laced throughout raphaels story. the fact that he was the head of his house at the beginning of his story and is in good standing with the king, but is then framed for conspiracy and has his life ruined, reminds me so much of what happened to edmond dantes from the counte of monte cristo. dantes had a much more humble beginning than raphael but still, that undeserved fall from grace at the hands of someone who was jealous of him, forcing him to be on the run from the law, i see that parallel.

then we have the fact that he adopted a little orphan girl while on the run from the law, and then was able to lie his way back to the top with the hopes of raising and protecting her, which makes me think of jean valjean and cosette from les miserables.

but i think the thing that gets me so excited thinking about this is that they chose not to give these storybeats to a character who is meant to be viewed as heroic, they gave them to someone who is objectively a terrible person. they flipped these stories from classic french literature on their heads, which i think makes it very exciting to try and speculate where his story will go from here because he as a person is such a departure from dantes or from jean valjean. it also makes me wonder what else they will take inspiration from for him going forward (minus the dracula stuff because that all feels more aesthetic than anything. then again ive never read bram stokers dracula so i could just not know what im talking about)

anyway im curious to know which other characters take inspiration from their country's classic literature. i know siegfried is literally named after a knight from legend, i know groh is supposed to be based on the knights of the round table, xiba is based on the monkey king from journey to the west, im not sure if kilik is either. but still, i would love to know about talim, about the koreans, xianghua, honestly everyone on the roster

Oo more lily clothing questions: how does she dress in the wizarding world, is it just standard robes or does she put her own flare on it? How important is personal style to her as a whole? How modestly does she dress? Do wizard conservative standards affect this?

Ooh interesting question! I do think that Lily's style would come through in her choice of dress robes and any casual robes she might have owned. She was obviously only 21 when she died and I'm not sure she would have at that point made the inexplicable decision that all adult witches and wizards make to transition to full-time robe wearing** but she might have owned maybe one set of casual robes apart from school robes. Anyway, I think she would be drawn to kind of fun, unique, colourful robes that aren't just the standard black. I've used this picture as inspo for Lily's dress robes before, and I've also described her as having a plum-coloured set (I think that's a good colour for her lol)

I think her personal style is fairly important to her-- she likes clothing, she has good taste, she has fun with it, but it's also not a full-flung obsession or anything. I don't think she'd own a LOT of clothing either, basically just the right amount.

Re: modesty... I think by today's standards she'd definitely be considered fairly modest, and honestly I think it's not wizarding conventions that affect this but even just the Muggle standards of the time, especially for a small town in the Midlands. (where honestly a girl simply.... wearing jeans might be frowned upon by older residents lmao. i'm joking but also not entirely.) That being said I do think she could have moments where she'd dress a little more provocatively or would take a bit of a risk, especially if she was going for a night out or something I could see her in a strappy top or a bit of a shorter hem. For the most part though I think she'd pretty much just be average for a teen girl in the 70s, although the significantly more prudish Petunia would definitely jump at every chance to call her a slut for showing a bit of thigh or wearing a tighter top lol.

** okay, REALLY off-topic but: is it just me but like.... this is what I would consider, not a plot hole, but a lore hole in HP. Or at least it's really confusing to me. It's stated that the Weasley kids wear muggle clothes during the summer, but then Molly and Arthur seem to be somewhat clueless about dressing as Muggles, and the wizards at the world cup are even worse than them. How does this happen? Presumably if the Weasleys are dressing their children (and Molly even makes jumpers, which are presumably meant to be worn with trousers) in Muggle clothing they also would know enough to dress themselves.

Is the implication that wizarding children usually wear Muggle clothes until they reach adulthood and somehow forget how to dress as a Muggle once they get out of the habit? Or is it just the Weasleys who dress their children like Muggles? Perhaps they do so because it's less expensive than buying enough sets of robes for each child?

I can't imagine pureblood children like Draco wearing Muggle clothing on a daily basis-- maybe the Ministry provides each child with one set of adequate muggle clothing for stealth purposes when travelling to Hogwarts??? Maybe wizarding children only started dressing in Muggle clothes during the 90s so it's a recent thing??? I have literally been confused about this for so long. This is why I fully understand the choice made in the films to make robes into kind of eccentric old-fashioned clothes rather than full tunics or whatever.

claire’s father 100% knows it was sebastian who told claire’s mother about the affair (because who else would have been? claire?). and sebastian knows he knows too.

A+ parents right there

Since [Fuji] was born a girl, she must be disciplined. She must learn to obey my order. But what's with her? She keeps causing trouble and argues wit me unstoppably. What a useless daughter.

Jingjai is the problem between her dad and me. Her behavior is disgusting. She's a spoiled girl. She only spends time hanging out. She doesn't care what others say about the way she dresses. She doesn't have the qualities of a lady. Everything a sucky Thai woman does can be found in my daughter.

Pailert's family members mustn't care about others. We don't show mercy or sympathize with someone who isn't on the same level as us. But Nai doesn't understand this. Someone this stupid is not different from a trash.

Hugo doesn't deserve to be my son. He shouldn't have been my son. He doesn't deserve to use my surname. If I could choose, I would exchange Hugo's life with his brother's.

[Jean]'s ungrateful. He betrayed his own dad. He should have been thrown away and dead like a stray dog.

I want [Biw] my daughter to continue being a little 5-year-old girl. I don't want her to grow up. The more mature she turns, the more she knows about things.

episode 6 is the best episode of s4 of sex education and i'm 150% sure it's because all of the main characters actually got to sit in a room together and interact for the majority of it

My (not) favourite part on top of this is the debilitating cramps that have knocked out the use of your legs and meanwhile your uterus lining is still like "nah I'm good mate, might fall out another day though 😘" and then a few days later it repeats this and brings along a waterfall of blood and chunks 🙃

having a uterus SUCKS man bc all day you'll be feeling the "hey bestie check your pants 😃 check it right now 😃 you might be getting your period 😃 hey bestie i think youre bleeding 😃" and then when you check if you got your period and your body is like WRONG ❌️ its The Slime
