Absolutely correct. Still issues that I will chew on aggressively, but sobbing in the streets to have fun with this show again.

But seriously! The world shouldn’t be flat! I understand it’s budget thing, but like, people existing now and before is still baffling? Especially for something as destructive as Invici-War! Agony!

And honestly you’re speaking the truth, focusing on a character when it should be character focused ANYWAY, but then hiding only to see the ruined world would be so good! Instant shock at the utter destruction! I’d even argue we can get back some of s1’s mystery/horror mood with this, if we don’t get see our Mark ever until the very end! Except instead of guarding an already protected location because they pissed me off SO BAD MARK SHOULD NOT DO THAT, he’s out there fighting. And we don’t see what that looks like.

Like, imagine they hear a thud outside the GDA’s walls. The fight was supposed to be over, but what if one lingers? An agent reports a wall’s been destroyed on an upper level. Broken, glitchy cameras reveal a bloody, battered Invincible floating ominously through the halls looking for SOMETHING. It finds the door. Them. It wretches it open with ease. They brace themselves to fight for their fucking lives. And I it emerges, bloody, lens and mask torn, but it’s their Mark. Who dealt with the others outside. If we established an anti-kill Mark from the get go, then comes questions: he HAD to have killed them, no? He must have, right. Is this is Our Mark, even? One would hope so, but it creates some lingering unease and tension against him.

Bonus if there’s fleeting clips of destruction/fight from far away, dots destroying buildings, causing earthquakes, could be Mark, could not be. I am again dying in the hill he SHOULD kill them, but I will gladly enjoy him denying it counts at killing. Or avoiding the subject altogether. Vague about what he did and had to do. Doesn’t wanna talk about it. The destruction says one picture, and similarly Debbie, if she wanted to, could demand to see footage.

OR, OOOO, if the Cecil vs Mark confrontation happened AFTER the War, which is so juicy because it definitely validates Cecil’s point of view, not only because literally versions of Mark have shon how destruction they can be, but if we follow Debbie, William, etc, we don’t KNOW how vicious our Mark had to be to right them. But Cecil, and his “what is privacy” agency, could know exactly how terrifying violent Mark can be, again, not only because that’s literally him, but you almost forget that he’s the “good” one. Intensified if Mark is trying to be anti-kill, getting on Cecil’s case even, and when they argue, Cecil pulls up this footage. And Mark has to confront his anti-kill thing isn’t holding, when he’s trying to cling to the idea it is? The people who didn’t see may still question Mark, or react like Debbie, doubling down her son didn’t do anything, while other heroes are kinda hesitant.

Conquest is like that and I love it so dearly, he’s everything to me rn. Unhinged freak. Delighted they added the speech, elevated himmmmmmm. Though the kitten thing was strange? Raised my eyebrows at that? Why do you know what that is? Here? And truly, a very present narrative like I feel like the only time there’s an acknowledgment other places exist is just to see it being destroyed? If that? Can we acknowledge other places, other people? Like, it’d be one thing if Viltrumite + Human anatomy was similar enough he made an accurate heart and crushed it, but the symbolic heart was odd??? Why do you know what that is?

Just saw the post now, but heavy heavy heavy agree. It spits in the face out what it’s trying to even set up! What the fuck! If Mark’s kills only count when he’s being used as a bat, they don’t count. LITERALLY, destroys what they just worked to build. What is the point. I feel like seeing a child building a tower only to smack it down again. But I’m supposed to be blind to the fact they smacked it down, as if they didn’t commit to doing exactly that, consistently. Why doesn’t he do anything that matters? How is he our protagonist and nothing he does really impacts the world? What the hell????

Also, it RLLY IS STUPID. I’d think they’d like separate Conquest’s brain from his body and upload his intelligence to strip information from him, as some handwavy scientific bullshit of extreme interrogation, but KEEPING HIM ALIVE??? Yall are gonna die. You KNOW Nolan ate up a laser. Your “strongest” hero almost died. Also Conquest literally SAYS he doesn’t care about giving a speech! He is here to FIGHT and nothing BUT FIGHT. It’s so stupid???? Him being the Amanda Walker/Batman of potential ruthlessness and paranoia respectively kinda falls flat for me when he does shit like this, and I’m supposed to take it 100% seriously like he didn’t just put atomic bomb in the basement. Like even calling Mark strong is dumb, when he’s SHOWN to LOSE.

Again, it’s TELLING me one thing but doing another????

And exactly? That kind of despair makes sense for s1 NOT S3????????? Especially since this Nolan’s fault????? Why can’t she be angry at him? Why isn’t ANYONE livid with him? I understand why Mark is, BUT WHY IS EVERYBODY ELSE? Feels like Forgive Nolan propaganda LOL.

I know you’d enjoy Oliver getting punched LMAO, but exactly, his lack of ANY reaction is fucking insane. He’s what? 4 going on 12 years old? He should be SLAMMED by the concept of his own mortality. AS DID MARK IN S1. HELLO? Even if he denies it, or can’t comprehend it, he should be dealing with how terrifying this kind of work is, JUST LIKE MARK. It feels more and more s1 was luck, like??? HUH? Oliver literally has a higher kill count, and now he’s about kill bank robbers, like the fuck? He should NOT have said that. Just have him say he’s gonna take this sort of thing more seriously, and Oliver ASSUMES he can do the same.

Rae crying herself, back to weirdly isolating characters? AND YEAH, WHERE’S REX LAST WORDS? This episode made me hate Rudy, no dude, you do not get to STEAL SOMEONE’S FACE AND SKIN, to be a LITTLE BOY, when you could have figured out how to make her GROWN, and building your OWN kind of body. Fuck their annoying ass romance. Bro literally stole Rex’s IDENTITY. HOW IS NO ONE MAD? PISSED? THAT’S SPITTING ON WHO REX WAS, NO? Are you not replacing him, so cruelly? Fuck Rex apparently! Did you low-key hate him? Never care about him? ‘Cause these actions are INSANE. Were you WAITING to still his name this whole time? IS THIS NOT DIABOLICAL? HOW IS RAE NOT FURIOUS ABOUT THAT, TOO, ACTUALLY? EVE? E

AND OKAY THANK YOU, I’M NOT CRAZY. Not even being with Paul is something ABOUT HER. DAMN. SHE CAN’T HAVE ANYTHING. WHYY IS HE HEREEEEEE? WHY IS SHE CODDLING HIM? Where is my wine bottle throwing Debbie? Seriously, like this is soooooo annnoyingggggg, why can’t she be a personnnnn, why is her worth and interest always towards a mannnnnnnn, why does she stop being a person in a relationshippppppp. I lose my shit thinking about how Eve does have shit going on, but when she’s with Mark, she feels like Listening Girlfriend suddenly. I’m glad she’s a good hero but there should be more with her ??? Like she didn’t tell Mark about god-mode? GOOD. Let her lie, keep secrets, have flawssssss. Let her lash out because of her parents. Let her struggle to be open while Mark clings to comfort, idk????

I cannot remember if I said so but ace-aro as hell and in general violently disinterested In romance because I cannot Get It. I stray away from the genre, but when it’s in Action or Horror or Thriller, I’m squinting because, really, why CAN’T you articulate why you like them? Why do you like them? What specifically is happening here and why do you care this much. I enjoyed Aggretusko, but the end game ship made me bash my head into the wall, when the ML cannot EXPRESS why he even liked her, when it seemed he barely knew her! She also changed as a person! WHO DO YOU LIKE? YOUR FANTASY? OF WHAT?????? You just START with him crushing on her while she’s out there DOING SHIT. Girl was getting involved in elections at on point, and he’s…. Mulling over… a crush… I guess. Mind you, one love interest was out here flying her out just to eat, and end-game ML was… here ig.

Seriously, save the budget and work around these kind of obstacles then! Let people be interesting! You can stop and BREATHE guys, the story NEEDS IT.

Oliver being the dark hearted one would be hilarious, like he does have a kill count LOL.

Mark agreeing to go hang out on a beach w Debbie instead of refusing and the beach is Beach City (am now officially thinking too much about this crossover lol)

The way I got caught up on our back and forth I almost forgot this, lol! AND OH MY GOODNESS, IMAGINE? I forget exactly what which point Debbie makes the beach offer, but I’d love when exactly in SU/SUF-timeline they’d go? There’s something so fucking funny to me about them going during the SUF-timeline and always narrowly missing the strange, Steven-shaped mental breakdowns in the back. I know those don’t occur in a single day, but it’s tickling me. How could they miss anything? I don’t know I just think it’s funny.

Though, post-SUF is interesting if Gems can see the similar “world on your shoulders”, Mark has going on! Steven can shunt the narrative in the Gems’ minds, which I think is neat, if I’m not misusing the phrase since the guy’s on the road far away. Or maybe it’s just before Steven goes and they stumble into each other. I’d kinda love Pearl and Debbie interacting, honestly, if they could talk about loving someone who hurt you, hide things from you, even when you thought you knew them so deeply, and they left you to raise a child. Pearl being in a well adjusted space, and Debbie still grieving.

Honestly, the gems could help train Mark, they’re got experience and similar-ish powers in strength, sturdiness, and they can jump/run fast enough for flying to be vaguely similar enough to lecture about, I think. Or Lapis Lazulis, haha! Peridot with her trash can lid! Garnet, I’d love to see if she told Mark anything about his future in vague, well meaning advice. Or even giving relationship advice considering Amber. Or, importantly, how to convince an entire reign to end their colonizing ways, lol. Is Mark perhaps willing to start a war, take advantage of being related to any leaders, or fake his own death to varying results?

In general, there’s something so fucking funny to me about Nolan, in the sake of comparison, being Pink Diamond coded. Like OH, did an important or well respected of the colonizing empire come to earth and learn the beauty of its people and nature, including faking/lying/omitting things about his identity and background to being in, only to feel conflicted when his responsibility still remained, and he tried to free himself from them? Yikes! We’ve been through that before! Like gimme Pink Diamond and Nolan outfit swap rn. This is tickling me so much oh my goodness.

[freshfrenchtoast]

Kageyama's backstory only being revealed near the very end of the series is really interesting from a meta perspective.

For reference, his chapter is 387 out of 402. That's 96% of the way in.

To contrast, other characters like Tsukishima and Yamaguchi's backstories are shown in Chapters 87-88.

Now, we do get the explanation for his "King of the Court" title in Chapter 6, at the start of the series, but we don't see how he got to that point, or why he started playing volleyball in the first place like Tsukishima's and Yamaguchi's stories show.

It creates this situation where, despite being the deuteragonist, the character our protagonist, Hinata, is practically glued to the entire series, we barely know anything about him.

We don't even know he has a sister until that point whereas other characters' siblings like Natsu, Saeko, Akiteru, Alisa have all made appearances way before then. Even Oikawa's sister, though we don't see her, we at least know she exists because of Takeru.

He's both closed off to us (the audience) as well as the other characters in the series, and this results in them finding him rude or disliking his character in general (see: the "Kageyama is abusive" discourse that somehow keeps popping up even now).

Chapter 387 takes place in 2018 and was published in 2020 so it takes him 6 years of in-universe time and 8 years of irl time to really open up.

And the catalyst for all of this is Hinata fulfilling his promise of beating him.

You see, another thing to note is that, whenever Hinata thinks of Kageyama, he's always looking at him from behind.

His internal image of him is someone who's always up ahead, someone he needs to catch up to, meaning Hinata can only see one side of him, he cannot see all of Kageyama until he catches up and passes him.

Which he finally does here.

In this shot Hinata is finally the one who's looking back at Kageyama. At this moment, Hinata (and by extension the audience) can see him for all he is, can see how he was just a lonely boy who's been waiting for someone to meet him where he is, to keep running alongside him and not quit the race.

Someone he doesn't have to go easy on. Someone who would actually tell him to hurry up instead of slow down for a change.

His someone better.

no but i seriously think it would be the funniest shit ever if they did a calendar next year called “dan and phil and the holy spirit” and it’s just sister daniel and father philip engaging in various shenanigans for 12 months straight (like the themes don’t have to be religious in nature or anything, i wanna see this gay-ass nun and priest lounging on a beach, carving a halloween pumpkin, riding a tandem bike, you name it)

as an added bonus the name comes with the implication that dan and phil are the father and the son. which is canon anyway

Laying on his back, Jake stares at the ceiling as another drop of cold sweat dribbles down the back of his neck. The ticking of the clock and your slow breaths are the only thing he can hear in the quiet bedroom, as he should be at three in the morning after all. 

But he finds it really hard to go back to a peaceful slumber when just two minutes ago you were straddling his dick and he was just so close to cumming. And all of those sweet moans of yours, the slight shaking of your thighs and the mesmerizing bounce of your tits – all of it, just to turn out to be a dream. 

With a heavy sigh, he turns to his side and looks at your sleeping self, so blissfully unaware of the armageddon that you’ve caused in his brain. His eyes skim over your bare back, rising and falling with deep breaths, and suddenly he’s reminded of how just seconds ago he was thrusting, and thrusting, and thrusting up into you so well-

Shutting his eyes tightly, Jake swallows hard and stays like this for a minute or two to calm himself. When another, tired sigh pushes past his lips, he moves closer to you and drapes his arm over your waist, hoping that cuddling up to you will make him fall asleep faster, so that he can wake up in the morning and fuck you properly sooner. 

Another issue he’s being faced with is that the night is so cold, and you’re just so warm and inviting, laying so prettily right next to him. The fairylights that you’ve left turned on for the night cast a warm light on you, giving him a perfect view on the fading hickeys he left on your shoulder blades mere hours ago, and now really, how is he supposed to stop himself. 

The twitch of his hard cock becomes more unbearable with every second and then he realizes – he just loves you too much to let you sleep in peace. He can’t allow for your unforced beauty to go to waste, after all. 

“My pretty girl,” he whispers, barely audible as his voice is still heavily laced with sleep. 

The shorts he’s sleeping in are already drenched and so uncomfortable to wear, so he carefully slips them down to discard them on the floor, right next to where all of your clothes from last night are resting as well.

He lets his impatient hands wander to admire your curves, and a low grunt rips out of his throat as his erection grazes against your thighs by accident. 

He’s an asshole – he knows it. But not that big of an asshole to enjoy all of this without you. So, instead, he settles on rubbing his hard cock against your perked ass, biting his lip with the first touch of your plush skin. 

“Need you s’ bad,” he mutters, leaning forward to pepper your neck with small, sloppy kisses. 

One of his hands drifts to your chest. Whatever shame he might or might not have been fighting against moments ago, it all goes away when the glimpse of your quiet moan sounds through the room the second his hand touches the soft swell of your breast. 

Jake’s lips twitch up with a smile, and now without really holding back, he rolls his hips over your ass, letting his fingers rub and gently pinch around your hardening nipple. His other hand slips down to your pussy and a louder whine comes out of your throat when his thumb finds your clit.

“Knew you’re gonna like it,” he chuckles raspily into your neck. 

His cock finds a perfect place to slot against you, thrusts growing more desperate and less cautious as the release he’s been craving for so long has finally started building up again. 

He hugs you close to his chest, panting against your skin as he humps you like a pillow. Warm hand groping your tits, his tongue lays flat and licks up your neck, finishing at your jaw and nibbling underneath the bone. 

You begin to squirm underneath his touch just as you begin to get wetter, and still in your sleep, you push your ass back into his pelvis. He feels so dirty, but too good to stop too, thriving off the idea that he can make you come even in your sleep. Jake loves that you need him just as much as he needs you.

Rocking his hips into you, your boyfriend is careful not to move you around too much, after all waking you up would make him feel guiltier than he already is. His precum soon smears all over your ass, his big hand pressing harder onto your clit in desperation to make you wetter. 

And when he can finally hear the longed for filthy squelching underneath his fingertips, he breathes out and kisses your shoulder. 

“Just the tip, baby. I promise.” His hand hastily reaches down and lines his cock against your entrance. Slowly, he pushes his mushroom head inside, eyes rolling to the back of his head. “Can’t resist you.”

Your tight hole jerks out a louder whine out of him, not expecting you to suck him in so well, and if not for his self control he would’ve blown his load inside you right then and there. But he decides to enjoy you, to edge himself for a little longer, sinking his red tip in between your walls once by once. 

Just the tip, he has to remind himself after a particularly needy moan of yours.

His fingers skim over your perked nipple again, then cup your breast in his hand and squeeze it gently as he can feel himself getting closer to release. But then you tense in his arms and warm release streams down your thighs suddenly, coating Jake’s fingers. You whimper, on the verge of waking up, and he smiles slyly with satisfaction that he actually made you come in your sleep.

“I know, baby, I know,” he murmurs breathlessly. His eyes are focused on your perfect ass, hands soon following their lead and groping at your soft flesh. 

And then another pleased sigh leaves your lips and he just can’t help himself any longer, so he pulls out of you quickly with a nasty smack and taps his dripping cock over your ass, thick streams of his cum glazing your skin not even a blink later. His mouth falls open as his chest heaves so rapidly in comparison to yours. 

He can’t get himself to do much else than to fall back into the pillows and wrap his arms around you, pulling you as closely to him as it’s humanly possible. 

“Love you, love you so much,” he whispers, pressing a kiss to your jawline. “Promise I’ll reward you in the mornin’.”

Nuzzling his face in the crook of your neck, he can feel his eyes starting to droop after the restless night.

Jason had a "bad" habit of calling you before he went to sleep. He couldn't help it, your voice brought a deep sense of comfort into his disturbed and haunted life.

He didn't care for the time or the fact that you could be asleep; he just needed to hear your voice and to make sure that you were safe.

He always called after his patrol, just a few hours before sunrise. He would dial your number as he made his way to the mess of pillows and blankets from the prior night. He'd huddle onto his bed, patiently waiting to hear you on the other end of the line.

When you'd answer, he'd greet you with excitement, his voice sweet and gentle as if it were doused with honey.

The quite hours of the night often laced his voice with an overwhelming amount of exhaustion. It made his voice sound deeper and huskier; his accent occasionally made an appearance during this time. His tired voice was warm and filled with immense emotion. It made him sound attractive, and you'd wish to hear it in person.

Jason always asked about your day and usually responded by humming or by asking short follow-up questions. Your voice felt melodic to him, like a ballade of a soothing song; Jason could listen to you all day.

The late-night conversations never lasted long though, Jason often fell asleep listening to your stories. You'd call out his name and wait for an answer, only to be surprised with a small snore. You'd giggle to yourself before wishing him good night.

You would stay on the line for another minute or so before finally deciding to hang up and letting your own slumber take over.

WK Elemental AU

(because I don't have enough AUs already...) Let me introduce you to something thats been rolling around in my brain for a little while now... The Elemental AU!

Heavily inspired by Avatar the Last Airbender, the elemental AU takes place in a universe where some people are born with the ability to control a specific element. The main difference is instead of the 4 western elements of Earth, Fire, Water, and Air- it's the 5 Chinese elements of Earth, Fire, Water, Wood, and Metal. (Just bc it fit the crew better! and gives me some more room to world-build)

The basic plot remains close to Wild Kratts canon. They travel the world, saving animals from the villains (Who are also elementals!) except instead of relying on technology, or their creature powers, they use their elemental gifts.

I am planning on writing about this soon since Decoded is coming to an end in only a few weeks. But I figured I would go ahead and introduce it now since I've finished all of their refs!

[mimikyuno]

im literally sobbing in bed trying to sleep but mizu5 literally tore my heart out. i cant stop crying fr. i genuinely think mizuki akiyama is making history as one of the best written trans characters im so serious. the kindness and carefulness in which her story is being told is mindblowing. this event was perfect tbh. im so fr. no way after such a long wait the secret was gonna be revealed with happy tears and there. done. this event Physically altered the game. it’s the only event to do so, and the only event to end on such a cliffhanger. the way the whole event gets the player to empathise fully with mizuki - you feel her anxiety and her fear and pain. and then the rooftop scene. it was unbearable. her coming out was taken away from her. she had to see ena’s shocked expression from the sidelines. ena, the one she wanted to tell the most. ena, who has been waiting for her by her side for all this time. seeing the realization dawn on ena is too much for and she runs, like she always has. even though she Knows ena was just shocked. she Knows ena and niigo will accept her.

(sidenote i cut lots of dialogue from the screenshots above bc tumblr 10 images limit)

“you’re so kind, ena.” but that does not matter. it’s all ruined. in niigo’s eyes, mizuki was just a girl. a “normal girl”, as the classmates called ena. even if niigo accepts her, she’s terrified that they’re never gonna see her as a “real girl” again. just like her classmates. this change in their perception is heartbreaking, terrifying. and even more than that is the fear that from now on, niigo is only gonna act normal around her out of pity. the thought is unbearable. it’s all ruined. nothing can ever be like before in mizuki’s eyes. her precious, safe place was ripped away from her. mizuki’s pain felt so real and raw that i still get chills when i think of the last two chapters of this event. the way ena screamed and ran after her, her desperation to reach her, her horror at seeing how much mizuki’s been suffering, the way mizuki’s coming out was also taken away from ena. their precious moment, long awaited, stolen and destroyed by some careless, transphobic comments. “are you also a dude?”. ena’s anger at herself for not being able to reassure mizuki, for not knowing what to say in the face of all that hurt and fear.

the event ends with an unskippable black screen, and mizuki’s voice saying “you reap what you sow,” and then these lines:

mizuki’s dissociation and suicidal thoughts hit me like a truck. as meiko told kaito, this situation is so fragile. and all it took was ena’s shocked expression to send mizuki into a dissociative spiral.

Y’know, it’s kind of funny how much death isn’t talked about as a theme in Utena outside of analysis circles considering that the very first thing you learn about Utena Tenjou is that her parents are dead. I could go on about the use of parental death as a background trait in fictional characters, often to add a sense of tragedy and complexity with little effort put in, but Utena in particular plays off of these expectations to lull you into a false sense of security. You begin the show learning that the main protagonist has gone through a traumatic, life-changing event but that’s business as usual for protagonists, right? The fairytale setting adds even more to these assumptions, given how often parental figures die in folktales.

This all culminates in Utena being a typical plucky protagonist, until she isn’t. Until you realize that her parents being dead marks Utena as different from her peers, as uniquely vulnerable to the abuse she suffers through the series, and as someone whose life is permeated with themes of death. Her parents are dead, her prince is dead, 100 boys were killed on this very campus by her own foil, she is trapped within her coffin in the same way everyone else is but she has also literally laid in a coffin to die before. It’s not as overt as other themes, but it’s everpresent as a spectre haunting Utena’s narrative. It’s her life’s background radiation.
