Hi, I’m an editor from the Evillious Chronicles wiki! I wanted to ask your opinion of the wiki, what you do/don’t like about it, and any improvements you would like to see made?

Oh geeze. To be honest, I don't really have anything to say. I stopped really caring about the wiki a long time ago.

I had complaints in the early days when I first joined, for sure. I didn't like how translations were handled, the article writing quality was absolutely terrible, there were too many assumptions being made with too little information, etc. But over time most of those issues have been resolved, and I've lost the need to argue or debate on there. I'm close friends with one of the former admins, and so when she finally left the wiki I lost any actual imperative to pay attention to it.

I've also never felt hugely invested in being in the fandom itself--for me, the point of the wiki was just that it was the only place you could go to get or share information on the series, period. But part of the reason I translated all the novels was so that you wouldn't have to. That English speaking fans could enjoy Evillious while bypassing the fandom entirely, if they so chose. I'm sure there's still people who see it as a place to get together and talk about Evillious, but for me the wiki is just a helpful supplementary resource rather than a main source of information and discussion.

Doesn't help that "Fandom" as a whole has restructured their wikia system so that it's harder for me to navigate it easily. I used to still pay attention to what people were saying in the forums for a while, but that was when forum activity was quick and easy to follow. I can't be bothered to figure it out again.

Hey so

It's my birthday, and my husband's glasses broke and the frames needed to be replaced which is like $170

So I'm just putting it out there, if anyone wants to help us pay for that. It's uh. Kind of important. It would be a nice birthday gift to have help with this expense.

The BBC lady blowing my mind by pointing out the parallels between the endings of North and South and Jane Eyre (man brought low after losing his fortune, woman has gained wealth and comes to his rescue so they're now on equal footing).

She also pointed out that North and South is a continuation of issues Bronte explored in Shirley (to the point that Helstone is named after a character there), so I guess I may have to read that book one day.

Oh! Fucking. Duh. Obvious Roxie post I can make today: here's an emote I made for the sp:te server! (With variants of different degrees of completion...)

I was gonna go back and shade the comic colors Roxie but. Just ended up going w the colors picked off the screenshot. This screenshot, specifically!

a headcanon ive been enjoying in my awesome mind lately is that q tinas symbolic heart, the one that she gave q bagi on their date and that she put on a shelf inside bagis equally symbolic mind room, stays with ak bagi.

the physical item doesnt stay with her, but the physical item isnt the important part. and i dont think the heart is entirely tinas actual soul or heart. but i think its something, some kind of connection. and i think ak bagi still feels the presence of that heart. i think thats kind of comforting. tina and bagi never stopped loving each other. they were seperated, but the love was and still is there. that doesnt mean bagi cant love again or move on. she can love again, and she can start again, and move on, and the love is still there.

This is gonna sound beyond weird, and it's gonna be egg on my face if the show doesn't go in the direction that I think it will with Vox but...

Is it just me or are there several paralells between Vox and Angel?

[pinkinsect]

watching haikyuu after being in the blue lock pit for a while is so refreshing. like they're so normal

[lightbulb-warning]

i used to freehand comics all the time as a child and since the part i liked was the drawing part i would just draw panel after panel because i didn't want to stop drawing to think about icky icky words, plus the story TOTALLY still made perfect sense! to me! and noone else, but 'whoooo caaaaares omgggg its not like comics and sequantial art are a communicative meeediummmm lmaoooooo'. i spent my entire childhood telling myself stuff like "oh pfft I know this story by heart- ill SIMPLY remember the dialogue and write it later" ...and. I can't help but admire baby maiora's (call that a minora ba tm tsk) fucking audacity? hubris? confident wrongness? kid couldn't even remember to finish the comics in the first place? INCREDIBLE levels of unearned self assurance, wish that were me, genuinely- what an icon!!! anyway i think i have forever cursed myself

oh it's about context

Part of me feels like if you enjoy and/or are involved in the fandom of IWTV, knowing how a rather significant part of the show is set in Dubai (a part of the UAE), you should be aware of, and taking action about what's going on in Sudan.

To explain: the UAE has been exploiting Sudan for its resources in gold (mostly), and in many ways actively fueling the war there to get it. Making the UAE a responsible party for the multiple humanitarian crisis happening there; over 6 million displaced peoples, genocidal massacres, extreme sexual violence, etc. - just look into it.

There's been a demand not to travel to the UAE/Dubai for this reason. Luckily, from what I gather they don't film those scenes on location, except for the aerial driving sequence in Season 1 episode 1. This would've also been before the war started in Sudan where this such demand wasn't in place (as far as I'm aware). Which is good for fans as it means enjoyment can just be critical and not reason to turn it off.

Anyway, just something to very much consider.

i think the reason why im so drawn to spirit tracks and pkmn scarvi is that having the legendary/princess as a companion rather than a goal that marks the games completion makes me feel satisfied the way i would after helping a friend

my brother always teases me about how I still havent finished botw after almost 7 years bc "id rather be out picking flowers" which i wont say is untrue. and yes i know Zeldas been holding off ganon for 100 years, yes i can get some sort of idea what her relationship with link was like by recalling memories and going through her diary. ive always loved botw for its unique storytelling and setting which makes it stand out, because it lets you get to know who you're saving.

but because theyre memories, it only works if theres something for the player to investigate that already happened. its retroactive (but effective nonetheless)

on the other hand, spirit tracks does something similar but instead of having the player try to piece together memories and interpret them as a spectator, you actually have an opportunity to get to know zelda yourself by talking to her and working together. besides making it a gameplay mechanic, giving the player control over how they interact with zelda makes it so much more personable.

and I find that making the goal feel personal instead of an obligation gives me more of a reason to work towards it. I know what kind of person botw zelda was but as the player, shes still very much a stranger to me. but spirit tracks zelda? thats my friend!!!! she invited me to go to the beach after we get her body back!!! i dont want to whip her to make her move faster thats mean :(

you know how hostage negotiators are trained to introduce themselves and get to know the person theyre negotiating with because its harder to hurt someone when you know what their favorite food is? its kinda like that, because it feels like im helping a friend than being told or led to do smth

and although i havent played scarvi myself, i feel an attachment to koraidon and miraidon even just watching playthrough clips because its like!! thats my weird scaly dog!! it loves sandwiches and we're friends!!! you know!!!!!!
