I dislike takes that Danse would be just as conservative in modernized aus when it's clearly shown his staunch views of things come from his time in the Brotherhood and his deep-rooted desire to belong to something with a greater purpose.

Not to mention lines that show much more open-mindedness that get overlooked for his harsher sentiments when you first meet him. Like the oppurtunity to be a part of something is why Danse fell so far into Brotherhood dogma and it doesn't negate the offense things he does but I feel like it's just lazy to be like "hmmm he'd def be racist" just so it aligns to his BoS beliefs.

sometimes i order a piece of clothing that turns out to be constructed so very carefully for a body that could never resemble my own that tailoring isn't even an option; the only possible courses of action available to me are to tear apart all the seams and attempt to patch it together into something new, which would take far more pain and effort than starting from scratch to begin with and would never be as beautiful as the potential of the original garment, or to just call it a loss and move on. that piece of clothing is bg 3

The first thing he noticed properly was not the sudden impossible change in location, or the unnaturally colored light drenching the mountain, or the partially reconstructed temple above his head, or the anguished screams from all around, or the feeling of utter wrongness seeping into his bones, but the streaks of red on the stone pavement. He couldn't fully figure out what they were, or why they had such a strange shape, or what were the small dark scraps near them, or from where they could have come; but something about them made his face pale and his blood freeze.

A sudden sense of vertigo struck him, and he lowered almost to his knees to keep himself steady. A sudden sense of vertigo struck him, and he lowered almost to his knees to keep himself steady. A sudden sense of vertigo struck him, and he lowered almost to his knees to keep himself steady.

Then finally he broke out of that repeating moment, and looked up. An amiable smile greeted him before the shattering sky.

"Good morning, Warden Ingo," it said with a powerful, gentle voice that cracked the ground somewhere far, too far away.

It didn't sound nearly as human as it should have been.

It was morning, or at least it had been when the smile had spoken. Now rains of five months past were falling backwards out of the earth and into red clouds, and it was at once evening and dawn together, and night and dusk and afternoon all stuck in a gruesome thing that gave him a headache.

In horrid confusion he found himself unsure of where he was.

His only landmark in the all consuming spiraling were the red streaks of red on the stone pavement.

"Let me apologize," the powerful, gentle voice said. The amiable smile from which it came curled in a wide curve, dulcet in shape yet sharp enough to almost sever his head right there and then. "Your presence here was a mistake. An honest accident."

The grey eye looked at him with pity.

A black hole was emerging. He could see it everywhere at once, larger and smaller, in different moments of its growth: one second it had already swallowed him, the next it was a microscopic speck, the next it was a serpentine beast coiling around what should have once been a human body.

The serpentine beast looked at him with burning eyes, as red as the streaks of red on the stone pavement.

It dawned on him, in a constantly repeating minute, what those streaks were; and in the constantly repeating minute, he cried, or screamed, or froze, or puked, or trembled, or asked why.

The grey eye remained blind and deaf to his anguish.

"Unfortunately, we have not had the means to fix this until now," the powerful, gentle voice said as it rolled out of the amiable smile.

Something was wrong.

Down to the atoms that composed his body, he felt it.

Something was wrong.

Down to the atoms that composed his body, he felt it.

Something was wrong.

The serpentine beast opened its rotting wings wider, blood red bones peaking through the dark lunging slowly towards him.

"Be not afraid," said the powerful, gentle voice as the grey eye looked at him and gifted him an amiable smile so sharp it cut him in half. "Our plan always meant to help you, too, in the end. You won't even notice this unfairness took place."

He watched, feeling his limbs be torn apart at the joints painlessly, like a ragdoll methodically pulled until its seams rip, a hand lay graceful and calm on what should have been a human chest.

The grey eye looked at him without seeing, triumphant, with an amiable smile and a powerful, gentle voice drowning the very world it was collapsing within itself in the way a misguided parent drowns their child in a wine bath, spurred by teachings of a false prophet.

"I am a very just god, after all."

"You good?"

He blinked.

Then he blinked again.

He turned: "Huh?"

His brother looked at him blankly, maybe a little concerned. The station buzzed outside the door.

"You stood up," his brother said. "Blacked out for a bit. Are you ok?"

"Ah." he replied, and tilted a bit when he went to touch his forehead: "I think I might have had a dizzy spell, a moment of vertigo."

"Do you want some water?"

"No, it's nothing to worry about. Give me just a moment."

He sat back down, rubbing the bridge of his nose with his eyes shut for a few seconds.

Then he stood back up.

"Are you ok?"

"Yes, I feel much better already. Let's go now - better to avoid delays."

He closed the door behind himself.

btw i think people who thought that the l.indholm k.uzmenko trade was a fleecing by c.algary are very silly! and got overwhelmed by the quantity of assets going back one way vs. the other. and i get it! it feels hefty! a first, two prospects, a conditional fourth, and a guy who nearly scored 40 goals last year going the other way feels like a lot for a rental! but let's break this down together, team! because i genuinely think this is one of those circumstances where both teams came out with what they wanted without giving up anything they really didn't want to.

the conditional fourth is basically for dealing in-division. this happened with the z.adorov trade and it's just the price of business. and because it's conditional, they don't have to worry about it until they have to worry about it.

the first round pick for next year is fairly negligible — the 2024 draft class has a steep drop-off after about the top 20; the v.ancouver pick would presumably be outside of that. of course, you'd like to keep your first round picks when you can but when the best right handed center on the market could be yours i think you pull the trigger.

kuz is going to be good, even great for them! e.lliotte mentioned that c.algary is in a weird limbo state rn; they don't want to tear everything down, so they do need current roster players who can help them keep on trucking as they do a little retool. kuz is perfect for that. the thing about him though is that he was absolutely not a fit for the current system with tocc. no matter where he went he was going to outdo what he was doing this year with the c.anucks, and i think pa and jr knew that perfectly well. you just have to eat that sometimes, knowing that you're going to send a guy away and then they're going to perform better. (i'm very glad to see him off to a quick start btw; sometimes a guy just needs a fresh start to get out of his own head.) and frankly, v.ancouver gets something they sorely need with moving kuz: cap space. his hit comes off the books for NEXT year, something that grants them more wiggle room as they maneuver a lot of guys due for raises

the two prospects are the wild card here. you never know. maybe joni j.urmo will suddenly outperform his development curve, but he's a long shot gamble. b.rzustewicz is the guy to keep an eye on here. he's having a MONSTER season with k.itchener; i don't watch the o as much as i watch the dub, but from what i've seen, if he can translate that offense to the next level i think c.algary will be very, very happy. and from v.an's pov, they did well to sell high. it's possible b.rzustewicz hits, but it's also possible that this is as high as his value will get. and i think the other thing to consider is that they achieved something i'm willing to bet they were REALLY focused on: not losing any of l.ekkerimaki, p.odkolzin, w.illander, or even ep II. b.rzustewicz's run this year allowed them to do that.

at the end of the day what it comes down to is this: the front office thinks the team has a legitimate shot. we can scream and wail about their historically high pdo all we want, but i think at this point we have to acknowledge that with under 30 games left, this team has proven to be the real deal. and some of that astronomical pdo (quality shots for, allowing many low danger perimeter shots against) is due to their play style. a number of players are having career seasons, including arguably the most important ones — your goalie, who's on the ice for 60+ minutes a game, and your franchise defenseman, who's out there for half the game, sometimes more, day in and day out. and even if everyone keeps up this torrid pace next year, it's not going to be the same group coming back — guys are playing themselves out of the c.anucks' realistic budget (looking at you, dak </3); they deserve to get paid. and of course there's the elephant in the room, the p.ettersson extension. this might be your best chance for a while, and if this year is lightning in a bottle, you HAVE to be ready to catch it. gotta put yourself into the best position possible.

when you grab l.indholm, you're doing several things in one fell swoop.

first, you get a guy that plays exactly the way t.occhet wants his guys to play: very smart, defensively sound, plays in all game states, can keep up on petey's wing OR center his own line.

he also brings something no other center on this team can bring! he plays righthanded! he's good at faceoffs and he can take the draws that have previously been on every single other center's off side! (yes, petey, jt, b.lueger, s.uter, å.man are all lefties). jt in particular does have a decent opposite side faceoff play but now with l.indholm, t.occhet has more options. it opens up a lot of possibilities.

by trading for l.indholm early, you've set the market and aren't at the whims of other deals being made. you've also given the team quite a decent chunk of time to get acclimated to l.indholm in the lineup and vice versa. the extra month+ vs. acquiring at the deadline is huge; coaches love that and players like it too since they have more time to learn a new system and build chemistry before the gauntlet of the playoffs

it sends a message to your room that the front office believes in them. l.indholm was arguably the biggest fish in the pond this year; he's certainly the best center that was actively being dangled in the trade market. that kind of makes your guys sit up straight, shoulders back.

if l.indholm is with the canucks.... he's NOT with c.olorado. or boston. or any other contenders. :)

IN CONCLUSION...... i think both teams did nicely. if you think pa and jr got fleeced i'm sorry but you just don't know puck!

[todayisafridaynight]

YEAH........... YEAH..... LIKEWISE, NO NOTES AT ALL, THAT'S EXACTLY IT... Main antagonist deaths are often treated as "comeuppance," but that would be the ultimate comeuppance for Aoki. As it stands, the only people who actually suffer for it are Ichiban and Jo, and Ichi didn't even do anything wrong. Also please I'm positive there's more to wring out of Aoki and Jo for an essay 😭😭at the very least, I always love to hear your perspective!

"he'd made a social circle for himself where people predominantly liked him for the power and influence" <- incredibly Mine-core of Aoki btw (I also feel the rest applies a little in terms of Mine probably being very quick to write off people who Do care about him as not caring about him, as with Katase, but it's nowhere near the extent of the Arakawas)

Wait actually it's kind of funny... for both Mine and Aoki, I was so sure their endings would go a certain way. Mine and Kiryu'd fight Richardson off together and Ichi'd, I don't know, shield Aoki or hug him so Kume couldn't get to him in the first place, or after that INSANE direct parallel to Arakawa running to the hospital with Masato, he'd miraculously pull through like he did on New Year's. Tormented with visions of the better timeline... With Aoki in particular, it makes me want to tear my hair out because the moment of him choosing to put the gun in the locker was REVOLUTIONARY for the series, looking at the characters he was most heavily based on.

Anyway. Bottom line. These bitches need to hug it out. It was so evil Arakawa didn't hug Ichi at Omi HQ or on the waterfront like bro stop being """manly""" for five seconds you're ruining my life you're ruining your own lives

There'd genuinely be nothing more painful yet more satisfying for an antagonist than being confronted with the consequences of their actions and having to navigate life after having making those decisions, ESPECIALLY when it comes to mending the bonds that- for anyone else- would have shattered long ago. With Aoki being motivated by the want to be loved and appreciated for himself, it would've been nice to see him finally acknowledge that he did have that love and start to better himself as a result (however much he'd be able to while in prison anyway lmao).

The Mine and Aoki comparisons are so real though, I remember joking to myself about it days after beating the game but it just fuels my mental illness every time I think about it ☠️ I LEGALLY AM NOT ALLOWED TO GO OFF ABOUT THE Y7 ENDING I'VE DONE IT TOO MUCH it makes me so mad every time I think about it 😭 ESPECIALLY THE PARALLELS WITH ARAKAWA AND THE LOCKERS UGGGHHH IT COULD HAVE BEEN SUCH AN EPIC CONCLUSION WITH THAT... Arakawa running from the lockers at the start of Aoki's life compared to Ichiban running from the lockers and getting Aoki to the hospital so Aoki can restart life I'm Going To Kill Someone (myself) (in Minecraft)
