Kids actually like Shion. Because he's a funny guy. He would boast to them his strength and challenge them to a duel and would, ofcourse let them win. He gets along with them so well (heavy on this) and i bet you he's the one leading any prank pulled by the kids. He's that one silly person who kids wanna play with and also a guy liked by little boys cos he looks cool. If you wonder why the orphanage has gone loud one day, that's because the 'master' has arrived (he taught the kids to call him that). And there will be a lot of role playing games, aside from him creating a little kingdom with them, there's also him playing tea party with the girls. He brings smile and joy to the kids.

brain doesn't work rn but smth smth laios is so interested in monsters, their lives, their diet, and their evolution which is why he can kill them so easily and find out how to prevail against them. But hates humanity to the point he doesn't bother to socially fit in or know how to deal with complex social issues alone. Kabru on the other hand is so interested in humans and sees every social interaction as a game of trying to win favors and finding true/hidden intents, which is why he can kill a human with ease knowing their exact weaknesses. But he is terrible at dealing with monsters due to his hatred for him, greatly hindering his progress through the dungeon despite how capable he is

they are perfect foils and parallels of loving something so much you know how to kill them. Of loving something so much you know the dangers. The dangers of a monster's instincts and of human nature. Neither understand both, and is their greatest strength yet weakness. Just as they are their greatest enemy to their interest.

some inspiring words from my newest radioapple draft

Your recent post about all the female rep in the game is the same exact conversation I had with a friend last night! I really love how this game has normalized the presence of female leads to the point where it's not even noticed until it all kind of hits you after you've been playing for a long time!

When S2 ended, some guy friends of mine mentioned they thought it would be nice to see some male leads in S3 because they wanted to see themselves represented more. And then I shared with them my experience of seeing normalized female leads and it sparked this whole conversation about being able to relate yourself through a character and their traits instead of what they look like.

These guy friends of mine had been using the inkling girl for their character model since S1 just because they liked it better. Even as new hairstyle choices have come along, they've still stuck with it because they've come to like the game for its style and design over some kind of gendered rep that keeps their interest.

I think that's where Splatoon really excels! Not just as a game but with its environment as well! The world and what we're presented within are so normalized, people don't think much more of it once they've already digested the information they were presented with! I think that's really cool because it shows that games can be likable, relatable, exciting, and hugely successful without a male lead focus!

I think there should be more talk about this because Nintendo really nailed their nonchalant normalization here!

Yeah no legit, It isn't something I've thought about ever until I was just chilling in the Side Order elevator and it dawned on me that I'm stuck in the elevator with the girlies (and Acht).

I wholeheartedly agree with you that Splat does such a good job "normalizing" (in a lack of better words) situations/stories(?) like this, and not really making it needlessly obvious. I don't really know how to explain it, but do you know how other media sometimes makes it feel like the girl is "shoehorned" into the trio group? Splat does a good job of not doing that.

It's hard to talk/explain about this stuff without it sounding like it's "abnormal" or asking for the bare minimum, but how can you when the entire shooter market is super masc-centric? I also agree that there should be more conversations about this topic because it's really interesting! There really isn't much precedent for something like this so I would love to hear someone else talk about it (especially someone who can talk about it more eloquently than I can LOL).

Can't stop thinking about Isabela and Mirabel as reflections of who Alma is now and who she used to be before the tragedy. The way she clings to Isabela's perfection is reminiscent of how she uses her own perfrct image to drive away the past that haunts her, and while her pushing Mirabel away is due to her own fears of the Miracle fading away, I wonder how much of her avoidance is because of Mirabel reminding her too much of who she used to be?

People often say that Mirabel mirrors Pedro, but I'd argue that she's a perfect reflection of who Alma was supposed to be if only life hadn't dealt her such a cruel hand. Does she look at her and think of simpler times? Does Alma look at Mirabel and remember how she used to have a girlhood that was taken away far too early in life?

It's strange to think that despite Isabela having the life that Alma wanted to have for her and Pedro, Mirabel—the granddaughter that she has disconnected from—is the one that actually embodies her the most. And Mirabel herself doesn't even realize that.

I keep seeing the clip of Ironmouse saying that Foolish never cared about Leo cause he was still joking around and being goofy and arresting people but how can he be anything else? like he has to be the comic relief because how else would he cope? what else could he be but the silly goofy builder boy? I want Foolish to have an evil arc so badly, not even necessarily evil, but I want his lore to get dark cause ik cc!foolish can bring that energy and it would be devastating for this ray of sunshine sillyman to spiral into darkness (being a cop does not count but it is funny) I want him to blow something up from the inside, I want to see him rage, I just think it would be fun
