#i still dont know how the human ena fits into this all

[beneath-thestyx]

anyay i think green ena and red (new) ena are the same. they both have the same design and in that purge event video ena has a green face and she's also missing an arm, which green ena is missing both so maybe that video was like a transition thing

[razzmothazz]

hey razz why do you like shinonome ena /nm /genuineq

i genuinely dont know how to answer this question because like. i dont even know how to word anything

i like her cause shes mean and i love when she gets angry and emotional because shes so real when she does that and i love the way she cares for her friends and tries her best to understand them and empathize even when she doesnt know how or understand them at all and i love how passionate she is about art despite everything i just.

the way her frustration is portrayed and her tantrums and meltdowns just resonates with me on an unimaginable level which kinda funny thats one of my fav things about her because many people hate her for that

colpal has a way of making characters feel so human and i think enas flaws being so shamelessly on display so often is beautiful because despite them she still does her best and her growth makes me so emotional... like look at my girl who went from being mad at mafuyu because she couldnt understand her at all to being so empathetic to her in her own way. the way shes ride or die with her friends and will protect them and stand up for them when they cant. the way she was the only one to notice something off with mizuki and did everything she could to help her and make them feel safe and loved and the way shes willing to wait for them to open up despite usually being impatient. the way shes so kind and gentle with kanade despite usually being so rough because she simply wants to be as kind as kanade is to her. man. the way she goes against her own nature to be better for others OUGHHHH.....

idk i relate to ena in so many ways it could be why shes one of my favs, not to mention apparently i have a thing for misunderstood characters which she definitely fits in that category seeing how a certain part of the fandom sees her

its just. like. man. ena shinonome they could never make me hate you she is so important to me....

Quick question (I”m assuming these fit into your aesthetic), what do you think about;

-ENA

-Webcore/Glitchcore

-Dreamcore

-Angels

-Lain

ena: fun webtoon, the world exploration is neat and the cdi style dialogue animations r somn else, and the character designs are really diverse and creative

it really plays out like a silly indie game. its a shame it must be so high effort to make, so youd only get like an episode per few months tops. maybe we should lower our quality standards for indie works, or maybe its fine that it takes a while if the authors enjoy pouring every detail into it

i havent watched it in a bit, theres still only like 5 episodes right?

webcore: there are specific things that do and dont appeal to me in this genre, itd be too much to try and think of them all. i dont care too much for pretty pink pastel windows / folder icons or the overwhelmingly deep purple vaporwave type styles but i do like the particular shapes/fonts of the menus and windows and the way that subtitle text looks with vhs effects

glitchcore: too much of it is lost on me since the "glitches" are so obviously unrealistic a lot of the time. i have nothing against colorvomit, i actually am quite fond of it, but it doesnt make sense to me in the context of glitchiness. every obvious stutter in a hologram character or random pixel bleed effect peels away at my suspension of disbelief. i dont know how i might remedy this but i am open to information

dreamcore: i just feel like i cant relate to this one

so many people genuinely enjoy it and seem to see something in it in themselves or something to that effect. for me it just seems like random or arbitrary in a way where i just feel like i must be missing something

angels: yeah i like angels stream my album on apple music and spotify <link> and subscribe

i have brain problems so i like it when angels are just weird things that you can design to be however or just like weird abstract guys... so like. from worse to best imo:

- michelangelo statue angels n whatever those angelkin blogs have going on. im sorry. i dont hate you its just not for me is my point

- humans with white cloaks, halos, and wings

- pit kidicarus goes here?

- "biblically accurate angels" (those rings and animal headed things)

- really small angel shaped things like im about to show you

first one by me, second one from https://xkcd.com/310/

- evangelion angels 😍😍🥰

lain: i have never watched this, i do not watch a lot of anime. i like the picture of her at mcdonalds and she seems to program a lot which is fun. i just wish they would not serially experiment on her. that seems not nice

Future Hope

chapter one - Where it all began.

We all thought the new decade would be a new fresh start, a new beginning for humanity, we were all so excited for the the arrival of 2020... and it's unknown horrors that we awaited along with it.

it started with just jokes and memes, the virus wasnt affecting us, it didnt seem like a big deal. Then it reached Italy, then the United States. In a span of three months, the entire world changed and was affected by COVID-19. Then it happened.. the attack and sudden uprising of those who had privilege, but didnt know of it's power..

it started with the Black Lives Matter Protests, but it got worst, so unhumaningly worse. People around the country and the world tried to help and stop this evil, but it wasnt enough to stop them. The White Suprimacy.

Death, despair, anguish, loss for hope... What has the world come to?

Even after two years of the incident, in the year of 2022, the same horrors from before was still going on. No one could stop them, those who tried were imprisioned or now buried six feet under, people gave up, they lost hope... Until a new reason for that hope arrived.

It started as a friendship group. Eight people of different kinds, intetrests and hobbies brought together by a common interest, which soon grew into an unbreakable bond, sharing pictures or tagging one another with a funny meme attached to it, simple acts but filled with love.. Until this group almost lost a member.

A fight was happening while she was visiting a store, it was between a simple teen wearing a pride shirt and a middle aged man, bickering and arguing issued, but no one expected the man to pull out a gun and attempt to shoot the kid... Only to miss, and shoot the beloved group friend...

She was texting her friends while it happened, only for them to not hear anything for weeks... But she finally replied, after weeks in the hospital, recovering from the shot. One of the members couldnt have it anymore, and kindly asked for everyone to create a Discord account so they could all see how their wounded friend was doing. Everyone agreed, and surprised her with a call.

Maria was her name, and she couldnt be more delighted about the surprise..

"Yo! Yooo Bitch can you see us?!" Shouted one friend from their call

"For fuck's sake Spike the woman was shot and you have to call her a bitch?!" Rudely replied another friend, who's background was dark and gloomy and had far too many halloween decorations.

Maria laughed softly. "It's OK Spooks.. Wow.. I cant believe Im seeing you all.. Just wished it wasnt at the hospital through a videochat..." She said with a soft smile.

"It is truly a concerning situation we've been dragged into.. but it brings me joy to see you alive and well Maria" Said another friend, looking a little too-well dressed in the call

"Im guessing Griff begged you all to make a Discord huh..?" Maria said, looking at the video box of young man with a concerned yet and embarrassed look.

"Queen... We were so worried..." He answered, slightly choked up. "We thought you were a goner.. When you finally texted back I..I just had to see you..!"

Queen. A nickname she never thought someone would ever call her, hell it was a title that she didnt even deserve. Until she met Griff, which started to call her that, and her other friends jumped along, she always loved that nickname.. Made her feel special...

"Seeing you all together... All for me... It makes me want to cry.. But we dont have time for me getting emocional" Maria answered, suddenly stern

"Why is that Queen? Something going on?" Answered another friend, who was sucking on a lollipop during the call, such the sweet tooth she is.

Maria smiled. "No Muffin.. I simply have a proposal for you all.. And I hope you all are in with me...Because Im getting pretty sick of the way things are in this shit world.."

And so was born a new hope, a group of fighters that are indignified about the way things are, and how they almost took their friend away.

After healing completly at the hospital, they all met in person for the first time. Maria told them that they way they are now wont be enough to make a change to the world, but she knew how to fix that. After a small walk through the woods in the park, they came through a gated area, which Maria crawled under a broken spot of the gate and the others followed, doing the same.

"Long ago" Maria started speaking. "After I moved here, I decided to explore around this park for fun. That's when I found this abandoned gate and went through the same broken piece of wall of the gate we all came through, I believe that's here can help us become better then we already are."

Spike, chewing a piece of gum sneered at her comment. "Oh sure, what is it? A wishing well?"

"Well..." She answered as they came to a stop.

In front of them was a perfectly clean, almost sparkling fountain with clean crystal water still working and flowing out of an angel's vase. The fountain was too bright and shiny, it sure as hell didnt match the rest of the area's gloomy and dark visuals..

"It's a wishing fountain!" Maria spouted out, smiling wide. But the rest werent as.. cheery as she was.

"A fucking... wishing fountain?" Spike answered. "You expect me to believe that's a real wishing fountain? If that's true then why dont you wish for this shit world to become better?"

"I tried!" Maria answered "Apperently it doesnt make big wishes like that, it only makes wishes about yourself or something very small. Like wishing your room to be clean kind of small"

"I mean.. It kinda has that magic aesthetic, I mean, that thing is impeccably clean while the rest is covered in dirt?" Kip answered, glancing at the fountain.

"I know it sounds silly but it really works, I actually did my wish already!" Maria said smiling wide

"Bullshit" Spike answered "You aint a fucking Werewolf, what makes you think we believe you actually wished to be one?"

".. Cause I didnt wished to be a Werewolf..?" Maria answered, dumbfounded. "I always said that I LIKE Werewolves, but I never wanted to be one. I wished to be good at using a scythe and knife throwing, like exceptionally good ya know?" She said excitedly. "And before you answer, YES I do have a scythe, I bought one. Dont ask where."

"So... who goes first?" The smollest of the group, Rook, asked.

"I'll go" Said Griff, pulling out a coin before Maria stopped in this tracks. "This.. Doesnt accept coins" Maria said, seeming a bit worried.

"Then what?" Griff answered back, only to shocked when Maria answered "Blood".

Before Spike could throw a fit, Maria cut him. "Just a drop! Literally! I got a needle here with me, all you gotta do is prick your hand and let the drip fall after you make a wish."

"Let's just get on with it before Spike goes crazy again" Said Blink, the tallest of the group and the one to deal with Spike's bullcrap

Griff took Maria's needle and stood in front of the fountain...And said outloud his wish..

At first he whispered his wish, as if he didnt want anyone to hear it.

"Uh.. It has to be out loud or it wont work Griff." Maria said.

"I-I said.. I wish to be a strong, masculine and really beefy Wererabbit that's really manly and buffed up!!" he shouted with a tone of embarrassment in his voice.

"A Werebunny.. Griffy?" Said Maria in disbelief. "What?! It's co- ow!!" Without looking, he pricked his hand with the needle, and let the drop of blood fall into the fountain's water, mixing along with it. The fountain suddenly shined so brightly that everyone had to cover their eyes for a brief moment before it died out.

Then.. Silence.

"... So.. Now wh-AHCK!!!" Shouted Griff, hit with a sudden shot of pain throughout his body, which made him fall on his knees as everyone backed away from him. They watched in horror as not only he grew almost three times his size, but he got much fuzzier, his ears stretched into rabbit ears, his muscles swelled and bubbled as they grew bigger, his body shifted painfully into a hybrid between man and rabbit. When he finally finished, he just collapsed on the floor, panting exaustedly.

His friends were inicially shocked, until Maria snapped out of it and rushed to his side, placing a hand on his head. "Griffy? You OK..?"

He answered, in a much gruffer, deeper voice.. "Yeah.. Yeah Im good.."

"Jesus.. It worked.. Can you stand?" She asked. Griff nodded as he slowly got up and almost knocked his head on a tree branch from how tall he was now. Everyone was looking up at him, jaws dropped in shock and awe, until..

"HOLY SHIT YOU'RE NAKED!!!" Rook shouted as she covered her eyes, running in place "MY EYES!! THEY BURN!!!"

"We.. better finish these wishes quick and get you some pants." Maria added, Griff simply nodded as he covered himself embarrassed.

One by one they did their wishes. Becoming who they wanted to be to fufill their purpose with Maria.

Spike wished for strong arm strenght, fast stamina and an aluminum bat that never breaks, and can destroy almost anything. Blink asked for a sword, the ability to parkour and jump from building to building like some kind of vigilante. Kip asked to be part cat for the heck of it and that whatever she draws will become a reality. Muffin asked to be a fairy, to bring joy because she isnt a fighter. Togekiss asked for high I.Q, the ability to see simulations of possibilities in the future and telekenisis and teleportation. Spooks asked to be like an Underworld Goddess, with the power to summon shadows and have the darkness on her command, and finally, Rook asked to be part bird and a wizard with elemental nature, and musical spells,to honour her beloved Lammy, she also wished to have a split personality to be like her favorite character, ENA.

And so the team was ready, and soon they would make a change to the world, the revolution has begun, it was time to shine..

For a Future Hope.
