Note

I'm not the most knowledgeable about season 4 so I would love your thoughts on all the comparisons to it , and also generally on zam's rapidly declining, slightly unstable mental health in the latest stream ( only if you watched it of course! )

This was about the stream "staring into the sun" and I finally finished it (not "crawling", so if anything changed I'm not liable)

So, first off, on a genuine level, I think we have, because of this stream, entered into new and entirely uncharted waters, something that will make season 6 and sunkissed into entirely and completely their own story that no longer has any relations to s4. So not knowing the past isn't a detriment.

Additionally, what actually happened in two years ago isn't relevant to what Zam remembers happening two years ago. And, on a very important note, what happened in season 5 is vitally important to not leave out when comparing s6 to s4. Jumper's betrayal has scarred Zam in ways far deeper than were ever present during the eclipse federation and BOTH seasons are going into what is going on in s6.

That being said I am more than happy to oblige :) I will always and forever yap about how much the past returns to haunt us.

Though THAT being said, I went to look up a Vitalasy quote and got light headed from how DRAMATICALLY terrible and awful and terrible zam and vi were at communication.

There was a sign room on 3/22/23 (vod archive is here) where the only way Zam felt like he could communicate his thoughts to Vi and Subz was by writing them down on signs and hollllyyy shit. That was so awkward I forgot how awkward that was. Zam could literally barely put two words together in defense of his thoughts, could only go "yeah" as Vi read the signs. And Vi literally had his thoughts written down in a book that he kept opening up and reading and highlighting to remind him of his points and would make small frustrated noises at how they were on the same page and yet also not on the same page. And also be unable to just say what he was feeling.

We are in an entirely, and I mean entirely different era of princezam. season 4 princezam could quite literally never bring derap back and tell him how he has hurt him in many words and with examples. The difference is mind boggling.

Ok so. this is going to be rambling because I dont have time to really think things through and there's a lot to cover. buckle up.

The quote I was trying to find, and didn't even really find, was Vi saying to his chat, alone, how zam leaving would be the worst thing to happen to eclipse federation. It's something I vivdly remember him saying and how much I flat out thought he was lying when I heard it the first time. How could Zam leaving or Eclipse breaking up be the worst thing when all it felt like was Vi was trying to control Zam. I didn't believe that Vi truly loved Zam and cared about having him around regardless of what the plot was.

But in the stream he had his book that he read out saying, “We have the gear, we have the hearts, we have the abilities, and we have each other” and throughout the conversation, re-highlights “we have each other” over and over. And once he was alone with chat he said, “I don't even want to build [the prison] without the team’s support”.

At that point in the 3/22 stream above, he was willing to drop the whole project over Zam and Subz being happy with it. And that'll do for my point.

Unluckily for him, between that stream and two days later when they had another meeting, Zam decided that he didn't want to be a burden for the team and would just willingly and excitingly go along with the plan to build a bedrock prison at spawn with the exploited bedrock. He jumped into a hole and killed himself to prove his commitment to the project. Vi also jumped in and also died. Oh my eclipse federation.

As recap if you have no idea what Eclipse is:

The Eclipse Federation started as a team with a goal to not be nice to the server that didn't care about them anymore. The server treated Subz like shit. He had been pacifist all season and kept getting dragged into conflict and killed, and Mapicc (and zam and spoke) blew up his base, and he was tired of being stepped on. So it was time to stand back up.

Vi joined Eclipse with a secret plan that only Subz knew (and ash and spoke) that had been planned since day 1 of the server: he had the wormhole. A game breaking exploit that got them creative mode items and eventually, (after zam betrayed, and only for spoke), op itself. But he wanted to reveal this slowly and excitedly to the server to create a sense of fun and mystery. And he also wanted to balance the server by having the exploits and only using them to defend those he cared about and to create a prison to deter others from trying to be tyrants. He didn't want to be the villain.

Zam joined Eclipse because Mapicc was hunting him down over and over and had just recently banned him off and revived him and left him on one heart. He had betrayed and left Mapicc (and ro) because they had duped thousands of items with a different exploit and Zam was totally done with anyone having an unfair advantage on this server. He burned the dupes and left the team.

Subz took him in when he had nothing, gave him gear and some of his own hearts, gave him a base, a home, and a team to protect him if Mapicc came back after him (and mapicc did. and they protected him).

Eclipse thrived as a team for over a month or so. Laughed and made bases, logged on at odd hours of the night to save Zam, showed up for him and were a great and supportive team. Nothing was wrong.

But that sense of safety would be cracked and then shattered over the coming months.

Bacon said it great at the start of this stream, and if you're new and reading this, honestly so much of what is relevant in comparison of the past is said by the members in the modern era.

But Bacon said that intention and action matter, and maybe action a bit more. Zam agreed and said that what still hurt was how Vi and Subz were good to him. And he wished he didn't kill Vi when he betrayed him, that he only did that because he wanted to twist the knife.

And importantly if you're paying attention at home, Zam is finally in a spot where he accepts that he would have left Eclipse either way. It's just how he left that haunts him.

What the "intention" and "action" were is where Eclipse became the most fucked shakespearean tragedy on levels far past what you could imagine. I'm always one to giggle about how s6 is like s4, but it is maybe 20% like s4. s4 was a fucking crazy ride. I highly recommend it.

Over the coming months, Vi would try and Not reveal to Zam too much about what was planned for the wormhole because he 1) didn't want to spoil it and 2) didn't want ANYONE to figure out how to do this exploit bc it would work on any server.

But also he would desperately, and consistently, and so very very terribly at doing it, was trying to keep Zam on the team... by lying to him.

This is where chat started bringing up s4 when Zam and Derap were talking in the base. Vitalasy lied about a lot of things to Zam, and they specifically had a "no more lies" conversation too.

And from Vitalasy's point of view, he was only holding things back for Zam's own good, to keep Zam happy, to make Zam feel included, to protect Zam from getting scared and running when there was nothing to be scared about.

He also wanted to tell Zam everything, but Zam had said if chat couldn't know, he didn't want to know, and that he trusted Vitalasy.

But Vi had so many moving parts to work with that he would say something like "we have a bedrock farm in the end" to, from his mind, appease chat and keep them off the trail, while also imagining that Zam would understand that there was no bedrock farm. And then he also forgot that he even said that to Zam at all because it was not meant to be taken as the truth.

(Or like Derap says he was the only one to fight against Subz, not because he was but because that's what it felt like to him. It wasn't meant to be taken fully literally, it was just what was important to say)

But Zam would find out it was a lie, and his trust would waver. He'd think about how Vitalasy was adamant he only look at the first 20 (iirc) pages of the wormhole plan and was unwilling to let him see more. In the moment Zam was okay with not getting more info because he trusted Vi implicitly, but Planet eventually saw the book and told Zam that there were only 20 pages and Vi was lying to him.

On that note, another similarity is Bacon talking with Zam. Him and Planet would have tons of conversations with Zam as Zam worked through trusting and then not trusting his team and getting more and more miserable. I made a poll a while back about whether or not they were the reason Zam left Eclipse or if he would have left them anyway and the poll came back a perfect 50/50.

Which is funny because chat in s4 was SO 50/50 on Zam staying or leaving Eclipse. And chat now is so 50/50 on if Derap is being manipulative or not. All that chatter is gonna get loud. And makes it quite reminiscent of s4 all by itself.

Now, now that everything is said and done with s4, it is very very clear that Vitalasy was NOT wanting to be the villain. He said it All the time, but the way that he said it made it Sound like he was straight out lying. He would give examples of the god powers he could do, and how he could be evil, and then immediately say, but I wont do that, i couldn't do that. i don't have the heart to do that.

At times he would look like someone brandishing a knife saying, I'm not going to kill you. That doesn't exactly fill anyone with confidence of not being stabbed.

And when players would ask him to put the exploits down he would say, what exploits? I'm not exploiting right now. While he was flying with potion particles wafting off his character. Somehow, in his mind, since the exploit was obtained in a specific way, one was only exploiting during the moments that they were obtaining the powers, and then after it was just vanilla minecraft bc most of it was potions (with all the positive or negative affects in the game), or it was a double-join glitch and once you set it up it wasn't your fault that you could fly.

And when you watch lifesteal, and specifically princezam, having the heart to commit atrocities is not part of the equation. Mapicc and Zam and Ro committed atrocity after atrocity as Team Awesome, despite Zam clearly having remorse and regrets about the evil he was doing. Despite Zam deciding that he didn't want to be evil and wanted to get rid of the exploits. Despite him leaving Team Awesome. None of those feelings made Zam Not commit those villainous acts.

So to turn around and have Vi insist over and over that he wouldn't use these exploits for real... it just sounded fake. Absurd.

Especially as the plot progressed and Zam betrayed and Vi started Actually Using the exploits constantly, and killed Planet a dozen times in the prison, and was flying around, and was breaking out of the prison when Spoke put him in. He kept using more and more exploits all the while insisting that he wasn't going to be the villain. It was the most fascinating train wreck to watch. And so painful. And so mind bogglingly flabbergasting for truly, and I mean truly, not knowing what was going on in Vitalasy's mind.

But in the end, as Bacon was saying, Vi gave up. As he kept talking to Bacon and Zam and Planet, over time Vi got more and more sad about being the villain, he hated being the villain, he felt misunderstood because he just wanted to use the exploits to protect those he cared about, and he missed princezam and was so SO sad (and mad) about Eclipse falling apart, and so he finally decided to give up all the exploits and burn them in front of the server.

The Server thought he was full of shit and had more exploits at his base and laughed him off the stage.

And Vi banned himself off the server that day. Gave up being the villain in the most permanent way he knew how. And the arc ground to a screeching halt.

...until Subz revived Vitalasy specifically to tour him around the server, reveal a new base, and then tell Vi to kill him. Ban himself off the server because Subz had gotten to a point of missing Zam and Vi and him being a team that he thought maybe, maybe, if he wasn't around they would come back together.

And Zam, well he thought of banning himself off the server too, but ultimately didn't decide to do it, not really but partially because Vi's revival and Subz' subsequent ban, it would have been Too Much to have a trifecta of suicide from one team. But they were literally all doing the same depression plot all on top of each other. It was so much tragedy oh my goodness.

but instead of banning himself, Zam joined Spoke for the wormhole, deciding that it would be best for the server and everyone if he just ended it as fast as possible so they could move on to season 5. (also Pangi bedrocked trapped him to change the trajectory of his life)

So the parallels that keep coming up are the looming doom that Vi/Derap are lying to him. That Zam is unable to tell what is the truth and who to trust.

And that's the terrible part, imo, of s6 and these parallels, and the reason I wanted to find that Vitalasy quote at the start.

You CAN, from a certain angle, when you boil out the wormhole, say that the Vitalasy Zam arc was Vitalasy desperately trying to stay teammates with PrinceZam by telling him anything he needed to hear to be okay with not betraying them.

And there is nothing Zam hates more than being lied to. Even exploits. In the end, before he betrayed, it was more about the fact that Vi lied to him about the bedrock farm and lied to him about changing the prison and lied to him about a bunch of other things, than it was about the exploits themselves. Though, finding a vault of Vi's exploits IS what sealed the bag for Zam betraying.

Which sounds incredibly similar to what Derap is doing.

Even Derap being so accommodating to talking to Zam about his concerns is so Vitalasy. And changing his plans based on Zam, but in a way that Zam doesn't quite trust, is so s4. I don't even know how to begin to describe the actual vi and zam relationship in s4, but this derap one is a fading parallel that is so so so close and also seemingly so so so far.

I do not think Derap is being manipulative on purpose, and esp after this stream I don't think he any sort of master plan like Vi had with the wormhole. And it was mostly the wormhole that drove Zam away from Vi.

But the wormhole was just the convenient glitter that allowed Zam to delve into a greater problem: his communication skills and his hatred of being lied to.

And when you take season 5 into consideration, where Jumper lied to him straight out for three months straight, Zam is now completely triggered by the smallest hint of a lie.

And Derap is manipulating the truth to make himself look good or drive a point home about Zam. He isn't lying to cover some big plan up.

This is where I'm like, this is not going to end like Eclipse at all. This is already so far past were Eclipse was it's crazy. Because Zam has learned how to articulate himself and stand up for himself. He's completely gun-shy about it, but he is learning how to do it and actually practicing the skills he needs to make it happen.

But, I made this comparison a couple of posts ago, with Derap specifically vod-watch stream sniping Zam (which Zam does not know about at all, so no snitches, also it's technically legal bc they're teammates), this pulls s6 back into the realm of s4. Zam Hates stream sniping just as much as he hates exploits. The game is set and we shall have to wait and see what comes of it.

But between vod watching his teammate to find out why he is not trusting him and having the prot 4 exploit, Derap was on thin ice for keeping secrets while manipulating the truth. Now that the prot 4 exploit is out in the open, it doesn't help much, but it does change things. I can only imagine what might happen if Derap keeps accidentally slipping up and mentioning chat messages he's not supposed to have seen.. like needing a PR team.

But without the big evil looking plan like Vi had, idk if the parallels are paralleling. Though Zam ending stream talking about is it even worth continuing is So s4. The constant back and forth and indecision was the hallmark for how Zam ended up being completely miserable in Eclipse by the end and the fertile ground to make him betray the second he found the full exploits.

But the more desperate Derap is to keep Zam on his team, the more Zam is going to panic at the smallest things.

Now, for Zam's deteriorating mental health... this isn't new in the slightest. If anything he is wildly more stable now than the past, as I've mentioned above. I don't really know how to phrase any of this because Zam from a mental health perspective is the largest can of worms you can open. There are so many layers and discoveries and learning and pain and woundedness.

He has a history of paranoia that started from the first moment he stepped onto this server, then he was hunted down in his base multiple times so trading with villagers gives him trauma for being jumped. He is constantly thinking about how he might be betrayed because he was betrayed several times before s5, and then in s5 he was almost completely broken by Jumper's betrayal and now everything triggers that trauma. He also was the betrayer many times and knows what it feels like to be the one hurting others and is anxious he will do it again or that others will do it to him. He's a people pleaser who cannot bear anyone being mad at him and will do whatever it takes to make it better. But he's also a recovering people pleaser and learning how to stand up for himself and his needs.

He doesn't even know what's wrong with himself, but as he said to Derap, Derap saying that makes him feel like there is something terribly wrong with himself. That he's a burden too heavy to bear. And that nobody wants him. The negative self talk is loud.

None of this is new. This is the princezam experience. He gets himself into these situations that make him face some aspect about himself that cuts far deeper than any lore would normally go. And after watching for 2 years it's incredible to see the growth.

And then there's the stone sword mentality. Which I don't necessarily put under mental health though it's adjacent.

You probably don't remember, but early on in s6 Zam had a late night, while making the flame volcano, where he told chat the origin of the stone sword mentality. (7/21/24, about 7:48:00)

His first every youtube video win, he had a public smp with his friends and everyone was xraying and hacking and when someone became the villain and killed Zam, he just set his bed and made stone swords and kept running in, over and over and over. And eventually he actually won. Running at the villain over and over worked.

In terms of lifesteal, stone sword comes from the day in s4 when he died to Mapicc and Ro while fighting for spawn. They went to his respawn and killed him 13 more times. And all throughout Zam was making stone swords trying to kill Ro, but Ro put him on two hearts and left him alone. Mapicc saying they're gods not demons.

But earlier than that, in the finale of s3, Zam made stone axes and ran at Spoke over and over while Spoke slowly farmed him off the sever. And Spoke banned him. Zam accepted the loss and learned that lifesteal is about killing, and gave up being the hero.

And in s5 Zam threw himself at Minute over and over. Usually with Mapicc, but one time in particular he set his bed in front of Minute and fought him until Minute killed him just to see what Minute would do when he respawned right there. This was just before the Joker arc truly started.

In the Joker arc, in the end, after trying for weeks to get Minute and Jumper to kill him, he finally got his wish and got 4v1ed and died almost instantly, banning himself off the server in gayjoker flare, cackling that he won.

Throwing himself at impossible odds and never giving up is princezam. Doing it even if it means death is princezam. The gross disregard for his own life is princezam.

He only looks at the underlying reasonings occasionally. How he runs from his problems by killing himself. Any time he doesn't know what to do, he solves it with a self-ban on someone's sword.

This was actually the very first time that he allowed the connection to be made that he wanted to suicide on Flame's sword and actually used that word.

But it's so heartbreaking to hear him talk about it with Derap. ZAM: “it is dumb. Its self destructive, its stupid, its everything everyone says about me”

Over the years Zam has been called insane and stupid and been misunderstood and a lot of shitty things by the members. And he hears what they say, and he takes it on too. How can he not believe them when everyone says this about him.

But the stone sword goes so much deeper than a destructive defense mechanism. In so many ways it really strikes the core of who Zam is, how he views lifesteal and minecraft. A place where lives don't matter, where you can fight for what you believe in even if you have no hope.

Stone swording has helped him countless times. Being willing to die so easily has kept him safe in some ways, it makes the pvpers pause and be confused and not understand why he would do this. He does still die, but it makes them pause, and in that pause and in being able to grind back up to full gear so easily, it gives Zam the emotional upper hand in the face of power he could never defeat.

And, potentially, makes the pvper think differently about the server.

So much of the s5 Joker arc was about getting Minute and Jumper to understand that they need to kill people on the killing people sever, and Zam tried teaching them that by being a destructive menace that also set his bed in front of them and asked them to kill him over and over. He tested and pushed and prodded them into doing what this sever was made for. Making them loose the idealogical battle so Mapicc and The Players could win the pvp battle.

And even in this stream with Flame, there was none of the gayjoker flare or off-putting delightful giggles, but Zam was teaching Flame much the same lesson, in many of the same way. That he really doesn't have a plan and he can kill him. That he shouldn't be so paranoid about a trap.

All along the way teaching them something about lifesteal that cannot be taught any other way. Death is not important. Lives don't matter.

This is princezam. This is what he does.

And it's so interesting how an idealogical look on lifesteal and minecraft can so easily turn into a discussion about self destructive coping mechanisms.

And Zam wears his "I'm dumb, stupid, what the fuck is wrong with you" mental health as its own defense mechanism. He claims (or rejects) but still believes the shit people say to him which only furthers the idea that this ideology about minecraft IS fundamentally fucked up, that he is broken beyond repair. Which only serves to spiral the discussion rather than letting Zam just be Zam.

Because as he reminisced about the first stone sword incident on that public smp, he said how lifesteal feels like that server, like home.

But going back to how he learned lifesteal was about killing and gave up being the hero in s3, this was part of why Eclipse fell apart.

Vitalasy partially wanted Zam on the team because he wanted Zam to be their moral backbone and make sure they didn't go too far. Zam gave himself the duty of being "the anchor", and that position weighed on him so heavily. He hated being the voice of what they should or should not do, and in his heart he didn't want them to do exploits at all, but he felt bad that Vi had this plan all season and didn't want to be the reason it didn't happen.

But what Vitalasy didn't realize was just how morally different Zam had become.

It was Vi who spurred Zam on to be the hero at the end of s3, passing the mantle of keeping everyone revived onto Zam while Vi banned himself off for the season. And Zam embraced the mantle, fighting for the people of the server against Spoke and Clown who would rather see everyone banned.

But over the course of the finale, Spoke got nearly everyone to betray Zam at some point, leaking his base over and over, and eventually convinced Zam that this is lifesteal and the server must die.

This hugely marked Zam going into s4. He didn't want to be the main character, he didn't want to be the hero, and for the first time ever (iirc) he started talking about how on lifesteal there are no heroes and villains. He became morally grey.

And in his greyness he joined Team Awesome and committed the above atrocities.

But what Vitalasy didn't realize, not until it was too late, was that all this had happened to Zam, and he had been changed since he last saw him before the finale of s3. Vi was inactive most of s4 until Eclipse, only logging on at the start, killing people (like Mapicc and Ro) and and giving hearts to Mapicc and Ro, and then logging off. And Zam was not on s4 at that time, joining a couple months late. The two didn't speak a word to each other from the day of the s3 finale (actually it might've been before then) until they were both on Eclipse.

So when he asked Zam to be their moral backbone, he thought Zam was morally upright.

But Zam is both morally upright and morally corrupt. He will equally fight for the server and repair spawn and get rid of exploits just as much as he will use exploits and kill innocents and be a cold blooded killer.

And he doesn't know himself what is the right thing to do.

So to put him in the position of being the moral backbone, instead of being a good thing and what Zam was good at, was the actual worst place for him to be.

And I think a similar thing is happening with Derap. Derap doesn't realize how Zam has changed and been changed by the server. He's aware of the lore because he used to watch streams, but he hasn't really truly gotten it into himself (or maybe he's just not acting on it bc his character can't know any of this bc he's new) that Zam has been utterly changed by s4 and s5. He just thinks Zam needs to stick up for himself a bit and get over the past. But Zam is deeply, deeply affected by what happened. And that's going to cause conflict within the team.

In some ways Derap is just like Vitalasy, but in others he is totally and completely wholesome and the best thing that's ever happened to Zam on lifesteal (which you also could have said about Vitalasy at some points), a teammate that really wants to be with him through thick and thin and isn't afraid of any of the darkness.

It's exactly the kind of relationship that heals past wounds, makes you believe there is good in the world again, and that maybe you're lovable even if you're a mess.

But he doesn't understand the darkness, hasn't seen it, so how can he truly understand.

And that's exactly what we're going to be watching unfold in the coming month(s).

Thanks for coming to my tedtalk.

hey man i forgot why i was following you, and i saw your post against the dems in america. i was wondering, is your solution the republicans or something further left?

Here's a little secret for you: the republican party and the democratic party have the exact same goals, just different PR departments. If you skip past the meaningless rhetoric and propaganda and look at what these politicians actually do, it's a single unified party.

But as long as they can keep the public convinced that there's two sides fighting each other, nobody ever has to convince anybody that you should vote for me because I'll be good, or halfway decent, or even not all that terrible, they just have to convince the public that the Other Guy is worse somehow.

As for my solution? I don't have one.

If a single third-party candidate ever got into a significant office (doesn't even matter which party, I would take one of the really crazy and stupid ones at this point), then maybe we could start having actual elections again, where a candidate needs to do or say something to convince you that they're actually going to make something better in order to stand out from the crowd. But that'll never happen, because the two big parties know that if they keep swapping back and forth every eight years they get to keep absolute power forever, so they'll work together to prevent anybody else from even being on the ballot in the end.

If we actually held politicians accountable for their crimes, even like 5% of the time, we might at least be able to get back to the point where they were covering things up and pretending to not be the most evil bastards imaginable, but everybody in office has gotten so used to never facing a single consequence that they'll openly admit to treason and molest kids on national television and everybody just shrugs and insists it's better than the alternative.

If we executed everybody with a rank higher than mayor, that would probably make the world a much better place in the long run, but I don't see how we would pull it off outside of an all-out war.

And that's really what it comes down to, isn't it? Allowing the current situation to continue is not more harmful to innocents than a violent revolution would be. Yet.

Anyway, join a union, buy a gun and learn to use it, vote for what you actually believe in even if you know it doesn't make any fucking difference, love whoever you love, try to make life suck a little less for the people around you, never excuse evil in others just because they're on "your team", and refuse to comply with anything you know to be unjust regardless of what the legal authorities or their paid shills tell you.

Whats the deal with the death devil? (YOSHIDA REAL?)

I made this fucking 'joke' back when 146 came out and I keep fucking thing about it cause its so fucking funny and I can one piece this theory into making sense hang on

I went ahead and made this chart to show the feelings towards the death devil. Both Makima and Fami wants the Death Devil dead however its unknown if they do that out of any animosity as their motives seem to be saving humanity from death. Yoru doesn't give a shit and Nayuta is in the same boat as Fami except she has no hatred towards DD. So that leads to the question, What did DD do to make them that mad? Here are the options based on what we know; 1. They don't hate DD at all they just want her to stay in hell because theoretically her presence on earth would mean the extinction of all life. 2. They HATE DD because she did something in the past that REALLY pissed them off. 3. Its a misunderstanding 4. Something else. Will the arrival of the Death Devil cause all extinction of life? (By Extension, Is She evil?) Using what we know of the other 3 Horsemen its a fair assumption to make that DD isn't pure evil or a natural disaster. For the most powerful devil to be a blank evil slate, It would be kind of boring. Even if it's something like the Darkness Devil, We've seen it happen before. We know that Primal Fears are weird and different as well because Darkness and Falling is completely different from each other. Given that I doubt DD's goal is to cause the extinction of all life, Especially because without humans there would be no fear, Thus there would be no devils.

Do they HATE the Death Devil? I think this one can be ruled out given the information we currently have as their reasons for wanting her dead seem to fall into the "Stop humanity from going extinct" angle. We could get some big reveal that DD ate the entire thanksgiving turkey one year but I doubt that'll happen. Could it be a misunderstanding? Given Fujimoto, This is a definite possibility. However I doubt the final antagonist of the series will be so easily resolved as 'Oh you're not actually evil mb'. There would be more too it. DD is probably malicious to some extent but not as much as it seems. It's also possible DD is completely uncaring for destruction and has no evil plans what so ever and just wants to visit her sisters. Because Death itself is cruel and impartial to who and what it takes. So what else could it be?

By FAR the funniest fucking option is that Yoshida actually IS the death devil and the rest of the horseman hate him because he's Trans and ruins their Sisters of the Apocalypse Gimmick. I'm not joking when I say this could ACTUALLY be the fucking solution and it's so fucking funny I keep fucking giggling at this stupid fucking One Piece Theory ass idea. Given what we know about War and how quickly Makima was reincarnated into Nayuta, It's likely that the Horsemen all have true devil forms similar to War and Pochita.

The bodies they currently inhabit aren't actually their Devil bodies and are instead hosts. Again, Given what we know of War, It can be inferred that Horsemen possess the ability to create a special kind of Fiend which is what Nayuta, Fami, and Yoru/Asa are. They're probably on par or only slightly weaker than their pure forms. As such these are more akin to host bodies than anything else. So then what if Yoshida (DEATH DEVIL REAL) is actually just DD's current host body? Yoshida is a weird case in general because he has basically no backstory yet seems related to Kishibe in some way. What if its a Nayuta and Denji situation? But then why would none of the other Horsemen recognize him as death when they met despite the fact they seem to have an intuitive knowledge of their sisters. It's possible that they don't recognise Death as Yoshida because he's actively hiding his identity as to not get outed. The Control Devil's one desire was to truly be loved and understand humans. So it's to go against their primary directive as a Devil; Be loved without control. Fami's motives are still a bit weird but they seem to just be "Eat a bunch of stuff that tastes good." Which again is against her MO as a devil; Feed the hunger instead of succumbing to Famine. Yoru, Who knows shes just a little freak. So thus the idea that the Death Devil's wish would be something like "Live among humans and keep them from dying" would somewhat match an inverted directive. Yoshida is a devil hunter after all who by extension stops humans from dying. So Illustrate how funny this would be if it was true:

But this requires Yoshida to not get fucking pwnd next chapter by another weird Queer Woman.

Time is a flat circle

Important Tips!

Huh? Oh, shoot, that's right. I'm not exactly around for stuff right now, sorry, this is a queued post.

So, uh, I thought I'd say some stuff about what to keep in mind for when you're submitting cards, because I've noticed a couple things that I'd like to pass on.

1. The more effort you put in, the easier it is to talk about your card.

This is something that feels strange to say, because I want to feel that everyone puts in as much effort as they can when they submit. I'm no professional critic, so I'm not going to tear everyone's dreams down and say that only suffering creators are worthy of positive feedback. What I'm trying to say is that it's always better to push for the limits and then dial it back than to push up to the edge and say "good enough."

It's far easier than it might seem to see which cards reach that "good enough" point when they are, indeed, good enough. And goodness is good! What that means on our side is that there's a functional card that ends up being particularly hard to talk about because its presented goal is to be functional. Again, that doesn't make for a quote-unquote "bad" card—but a card that's got effort, no matter what kind, gets that hook where we can actually talk about it. Talking about a card's weirdness opens up dialogue, whereas function alone ends up inadvertently stifling it. If you're worried about a card going too far, at the very least you're pushing for a conversation, and that's where the crux of card creation as an art lies.

2. It's okay if it's been done before—just make me care.

Then again, you'll also hear me say that simplicity is the way to go for winning cards. That's a bit of a hard line to balance, because on the one hand I do like talking about the kooky nonsense that people submit here from time to time, but I also love a well-executed trope. I suppose the challenge here is where "well-executed" lies.

For some people, that'll be enough just to reference certain characters or planes or events or the fact that there's a Saw in the set about murder-house-clown-horror. That much never gets my engine going. No, it's the matter of choice, of circumstance, of history, of all the possibilities that the mechanics and/or flavor are depicting that matter. Cards have action, and cards also have impact, and cards also-also have their own little world where this all takes place. If I could break down how every part of a card mattered, then I sure as hell would, but that's a post for another day when I don't have the world on my shoulders.

All I'll say is that you gotta consider, for any given trope, what the emotional hook is for someone who may not otherwise care about the trope. You're making an argument, and you're here to win me over.

3. Ambiguity is the mind-killer.

And by that, I mean that "I don't get it" will create frustrations upon frustrations. Where are there the biggest potential ambiguities? Great question, me, let's see.

Name: If you're going for something esoteric in the name, the rest of the card's gotta explain it. Actions need to be connected to the name.

Flavor text: Is there someone talking? Is it related to the action of the card, or something before, or something after? Does it flow well off the tongue? Show it to someone else—do they understand?

And most importantly: how are these elements connected?

4. Don't add flavor text if you don't need it.

If you have a lot of rules text on your card, you're good without flavor text. If you can't think of anything that's not already being expressed, some up with something different. If you're not confident, keep writing until you are. Creative writing is hard. Really hard. Trust me. In the end, you're just gonna have to keep at it. Pro tip: read more if you want to get better at writing. Read beyond what you usually read and it might surprise you.

5. And if nothing else, add an art description.

Art is integral to a lot of Magic cards. Seriously! If you feel that you're missing anything, use your words to say what you wanna say. Or if you're really not sure how to describe it, draw it yourself! Draw it badly! I'm a terrible artist and I still absolutely love drawing because sometimes you just have to get those ideas out of your head. It matters to your vision and it matters to the card.

Adding mood, placement, color, etc. can create the context that cards need that otherwise can't be depicted on the text or even the flavor text. Treat it as part of the main dish, as it were.

I know I've said some of this stuff before, but I hope you're still reading and learning like I am. Lord knows I've got a lot to learn.

I like making demons who can feasibly work with heroes without being actually good themselves. I've talked about Mindy the World's Worst Succubus before, but today I wanna talk about--

Kjarl: a cambion who is, simply, too PRACTICAL to be evil.

(Hear me out)

Being evil isn't actually very efficient. Kill a soldier for bringing bad news? You now have one less soldier. Slaughter a defenseless village? You used more resources than you gained. Backstab an ally? Now no one will want to ally with you and that'll limit your options in the future. There's a difference between ruthless efficiency and just plain wastefulness.

Kjarl is too practical to be evil. He's a cambion, the lowest on the hell hierarchy, and the only way he can gain more power is by using every resource he has to the fullest, and seizing every opportunity he finds. Even those opportunities that require acting a bit less ruthless than he normally would.

Because heroes are an unutilized resource. Demons love exploiting human emotions like greed and lust, but why limit yourself to those? Why not exploit honesty, honor, compassion, to get what you want? Heroes can accomplish things that villains can't, and if they're willing to deal with a demon, then Kjarl will be a reliable dealer.

He's still ambitious. He's still opportunistic and scheming. He feels no guilt over slaying the innocent or cheating people, he dreams of vengeance on those who wrong him. He simply puts his long-term goals ahead of petty indulgences, and that effectively makes him more neutral than evil.

#Kjarl the cambion #I have SO much fun writing him #btw his name is pronounced “Kyarl”. like Carl with a y

i have decided to review movies from my childhood that nobody my age remembers

as a 16 year old raised by three VHS 90's kids, I have experienced so many different different movies that nobody my age seems to have watched. So I have no made it my goal to write reviews for those movies to encourage my peers into watching them because I literally have nothing to relate to with my generation.

I will be ranking movies based on four things: movie poster, plot, acting, and generally whether I liked it or not

The first movie on the chopping block is: lion king 2 Simba's pride

Category 1 - movie poster

I feel like this poster is kinda basic, but it gets the point across that it's a sequel. It shows the old characters to get the old fans in and out shows the new characters to add a little bit of spice.

All in all - ⭐⭐⭐ three stars

Category 2 - plot

The plot is very reminiscent of Romeo and Juliet based one the way that there are two different lion families and the two that aren't supposed to be together fall in love with each other. I mean, I've never read Romeo and Juliet but I'm pretty sure the title characters die, which doesn't happen in this story, so pretty good.

All in all - ⭐⭐⭐ three stars

Category 3 - acting

The acting from the new cast is great. You can really tell there's emotion coming from Kovu and Kiara and you can see and hear the rage coming from Kovu's mom (I forgot her name) when she sings "that's my lullaby". The original cast is kinda bland though, especially with timon and pumba. They were there to review their roles as the comedic relief, but the writers clearly didn't put enough effort to make sure that they were actually funny. I'm gonna include the songs here real quick because there is a lot coming from those. I already mentioned how that's my lullaby is really good, but that's not the only good one. All of the songs in this movie are very top tier but the best ones in my personal opinion are "upendi" and "one of us". I feel like those songs really show the extent the animators could got to with those songs.

All in all - ⭐⭐⭐⭐ four stars

Category 4 - did I like it or not

Yes, I loved this movie. I used to watch it all the to me when I was a young little lad and I still consistently watch it now as a teenager. This was an integral part of my childhood, I remember watching this more than the first movie. I watched it to the point that my parents would have to turn the TV off in the summers and make do something else because I would watch it so much.

All in all - ⭐⭐⭐⭐ four stars

Lion king 2: Simba's pride was a great movie from start to finish, and that'll give it a Witt rating of: awesome sauce

SCREW YOU SECRETIVE PLOTTER! GIVE BACK OUR DOKJA! 😡

Some small, wishful part of me is hoping that it's a big ruse or a big misunderstanding or something. I'm really trying to recall if he ever outright said that Dokja had to die or if Joonghyuk just assumed that was the end goal of egging him on. Because he specifically took him saying that he needed him for something when he could have killed him right then and there.

Granted, that something may not be good, but it'd be a little strange for him to want Dokja dead if he had a scheme in mind that required him alive. Unless something that's happened since their big fight has changed his plans?

Oh man though, Secretive Plotter calling Joonghyuk out for going against his ideals, and Joonghyuk himself knowing that he's being a hypocrite and not following his own vow to kill all Constellations. He gets so upset when Secretive Plotter points out that if he succeeds in his goal of destroying the Star Stream, Dokja will die.

It's actually kind of ironic because Dokja himself has had the goal of destroying all of these terrible Constellations and likely would have joined Joonghyuk in destroying the Star Stream, even if it meant that he would die in the end (because it's Dokja), except he has also realized that maybe various Constellations aren't actually bad (and atm he finally wants to live). Like, he's super hard on himself and blames himself for being no different from all the Constellations he hates, but that's not how he sees others (now) and that's not how Joonghyuk sees him.

Even if Secretive Plotter actually made a really interesting point that I'd never thought of before...and don't necessarily agree with, but a point nonetheless. No wonder Joonghyuk was so angry at Dokja when he found out about TWSA if he construes him reading the novel as being no different from being one of those despised Constellations, just watching on for their own enjoyment. Or in Dokja's case, for his own self-preservation, which Secretive Plotter equates to Constellations consuming another's life to extend their own.

And they even mentioned the comments! Which is something I thought only Dokja would ever mention, especially in regards to him potentially making things worse and just meddling in the world in general...sort of like how a Constellation does by creating scenarios and bounties and sponsoring Incarnations and so on...

Of course, I don't think this really translates 1:1 because there's a huge difference between watching a real person suffer for your enjoyment and doing nothing and watching a character that you would never think is a real person suffer, not to mention the fact that you don't actually have any way of helping them. Dokja could try with his comments but ultimately what happens in TWSA wasn't his decision and, again, none of it was real from his perspective so why would he even try?

And when it suddenly was real he started doing everything in his power to make sure his companions, both "real" and "not", got to see their happy endings.

So yeah, I love that Joonghyuk may have been upset before but now that he's cooled down he absolutely sees that Dokja is not one of the Constellations that he swore to bring down with the Star Stream, and honestly I wonder if even Secretive Plotter sees him as that, or if it was just him trying to goad Joonghyuk into giving up on him again.

Sorry Secretive Plotter, Joonghyuk may not be able to verbalize his feelings for Dokja, even to himself, but he at least knows he's never abandoning him again.

All that said... I guess now we start the epic rescue mission?

Oh, and now Joonghyuk gets to explain to everyone exactly what (and who) happened to their precious Kim Dokja. That'll be fun.

#as angry as I know Sooyoung and Heewon in particular are going to be it was probably for the best that Joonghyuk went #because at least Secretive Plotter didn't immediately attempt to kill him and actually did seem like he wanted to reason with him instead #which bought Joonghyuk some much needed time #lol Secretive Plotter being all 'oh trying to buy time did you learn that from Dokja?' and Joonghyuk really WAS trying to act like Dokja #orv #orv spoilers #orv novel chapter 414-415 #omniscient reader's viewpoint #orv liveblog #yjh #kdj #secretive plotter

the bad batch season 3

well the fallout show was shit. hopefully the bad batch is better. getting back to Omega who i 100% head cannoned as trans will be nice. last season ended with the death of Tech, but i still call bullshit on that.

episode 01 confined

of course Omega is her usual optimistic self. but did Crosshair lose his sharpshooting ability? that's can't be good for his psyche.

aggressive paragoning. i love it. she's growing into the roll of leader.

she really is the goodest girl.

damn, an entire episode of setting shit up. and showing the the work method of both Omega and the people she's up against, and demonstrating who will win.

also damn i missed that music.

episode 02 paths unknown

this is something you can only do with a big multiseries world like starwars. crossing the pikes means something. you can just say it, tell don't show, but it works because of all the setup for it.

insane number of last seconds, i love it. WAIT?! the carlack pit?!

setting up a clone savehaven. nice ultimate goal for the series.

ep 03 shadow of tantiss

kind of odd general grievous is in the opening considering how he's dead and irrelevant.

damn, are we going to find out what's wrong or right with Omega? i'm still thinking jedi, even if the series has shown no sign of it, it's the only thing that makes sense.

"we were in need of a shuttle, thanks so much for bringing one to us"

is it just that she's a perfect clone? didn't we already know that?

ep 04 a different approach

wait... m count transfer? m for midiglorian? so i was right?!

a confrontation that happened multiple times, finally on the same side again (sort of)

ep 05 the return

i love the Omega Crosshair banter.

time to relive some Crosshair trauma.

ep 06 infiltration

energy crossbow is cool, but i miss the energy bow.

i'm beginning to think Tech may actually be dead. since no one talks about him anymore. they moved on, and that stage of grief is rare if he's alive. but why kill him? too powerful? group too big? i don't understand. especially since he seemed to be in the middle of a romance arc.

well shit. the resistance v0 is about to die a quick death. NO YOU CAN'T END AN EPISODE THERE AT 0.07 FOR ME!!!

ep 07 extraction

you know when clones are around people are going to die.

i love some convincing the enemy to not act simply because it's the right thing.

OH SO HE GETS TO SURVIVE A FALL FROM HIGH!

ep 08 bad territory

they keep mentioning Tech. now in part this makes sense: he was one of the central cast that had a huge impact on every other main character. but on the otherside it gives the vibe that they don't want us to forget the character for one reason or another.

oh love the personal mission Omega gets.

"you don't like anything" "true" such great lines

betrayal? or asking someone to deliver info in person? probably the former.

ep 09 the harbinger

ventras? IT IS! i like her redesign. and i like that she didn't disappear from the universe, as we now see she found a new life.

like how she started not lit, but now is half lit, i wonder if that'll continue.

guys, seriously? stop it.

she and crosshair would be a fun pairing.

but surprisingly few answers for an episode that seems so set up to give answers. it seems to suggest that yes, she is force sensitive, but is lying to her about it. but not quite?

ep 10 identity crisis

is this Omega being in crisis between being a clone and a jedi? also if this is about Omega add it to the pile of Omega is trans.

oh this suddenly feels a lot more star wars rebels, the episode of protecting a kid from the empire going after those force sensitive.

we have seen her softer side, so her getting a higher position is quite positive. wait... that was behind the big ol vault door? also what's "project necromancer" about this?

do, it's not that Omega is force sensitive, but she can replicate it. in the creepiest way she'd the perfect host... the perfect artificial jedi mother.

oh no, not him.

got to love that they made the stormtroopers bulkier to make the clones we've grown to see as friends evil again.

oh. it's just an entirely grim episode. also not about Omega, but about the other female clone, so my trans reading persists (even if it was about hunter it would still persist)

ep 11 point of no return

that title does not instil confidence.

haven't seen Omega's girlfriend in way too long, and that was way too short.

well... fuck. they really just blew up the ship. their home.

oh this is weird. these aren't the new ships. this is the old, the stuff the good guys used to have.

i remember seeing a clone trooper with that big gun and thing "fuck yea big gun" and now it's terrifying. it's so cool how everything transitioned.

well... fuck. everything is awful now. they don't even have a ship to hunt for Omega anymore.

ep 12 juggernaut

they won't have Omega be stuck for 3 episode until the end of the finally... right?

"they'll detect our electronics if we got close" "not if we turn of all electronics" "but... we're flying in the direction of a planet?"

they used to be 5, often 6. now they are 3, and it feels so small for them to be able to do things.

the terrifying thing now is that wrecker can totally be killed. like Omega is save, hunter is the leader which makes him really hard to kill, and crosshair has an arc to complete. but wrecker? he's in the same position as Tech, and well.

also i was fully right on my last hypothesis on Omega

ep 13 into the breach

ok, i Love this Omega. like how her blood can grow with the midiglorians of others she has grown with the power of the team. she's now a leader like hunter, exploring smarts reminiscent of tech, and is likely going to hack into the droid controls like echo can innately. but where will we see wrecker in her?

don't make me hold my breath like that, i only have so much.

ep 14 flash strike

god i love the absolute trust in echo.

half way through, and it's now i learn that this isn't the finally, that's the next one, which doesn't appear to be out yet... fuck

ends in an evil laugh from me.

ep 15 the cavalry has arrived

final episode hype. please let it end on a positive note for once.

50 min episode? that bodes really well. that means they have time for a more complicated story, or a larger victory.

and setting up wrecker for death... please no? longer episode can also mean more complete defeat.

fuck, multiple escape plans at the same time resulting in some failing.

ouch the self condemdantion. and more setting up death with plan 99. "echo's handy work? or Omega?" in unison: "Omega". such good lines. same with Echo's line "because that's exactly what i would have done."

i don't like how calm he is. what is your plan that hasn't been countered? a clone? what could make these clones that good?

oh no. they have their own clone force 99, i guess clone force 100.

god damnit i came to this show to get away from living amputation. i get it, it's star wars. it's tradition at this stage. but still WHY!!!!! (echo may have a spare hand for you to use.)

Echo doesn't argue with Omega not leaving yet.

oh no i know what you're going to do with one of those. and why are you still with the empire. you could have joined the injured and left.

fuck yea Omega will stab a bitch.

the end of this project will mean the start of the death star. but it means clones will probably be left alone. those that are left that is.

the message of the show is that it's good to be able to be whatever you want. with that as message/theme of the show it only makes thematic sense for Omega to be trans and/or lesbian. to go against conventions, to go against what the while old men want you to be.

FUCK YEA ADULT OMEGA!!!

IFComp Reviews: We're Not Sailing in Circles... Right?

Here's the next three reviews from the comp! For some reason, all three of these involved going back in time/UNDOing/time loops. Makes you wonder how random that randomizer is.

Last Valentine's Day by Daniel Gao Polished little time loop. Fun to play, thoughtful commentary on love, romance, and relationships. Short and sweet; I actually couldn't find any meaningful difference between options (this one is choice-based), which I don't love, but if you're looking for a ten-minute piece that'll make you think, this is the one for you.

One King to Loot Them All by Onno Brouwer TLDR: Linear parser about wearing a loincloth and swinging an axe. Fun to play, and I'd actually recommend this to players just starting out in IF (though you should probably play a game with standard commands first).

DICK MCBUTTS GETS KICKED IN THE NUTS by Hubert Janus TLDR: Don't give up after the first ending you reach. Nor the second. Nor the tenth. And if you see flashing neon lights, you've got the wrong file.

Full reviews (and spoilers!) below the cut.

No full length reveiw for Last Valentine's Day. It's so short that what I wrote above is really all I have to say.

OKtLTA: My favorite part about this game was actually the custom commands. They added an extra element to the tone of the game without being so outlandish as to confuse the player into checking the command list every other turn. The writing was very consistent with no obvious mistakes (the combat scenes were especially engaging and fun to read), and I encountered no bugs while playing.

The game is very linear, with no red herrings; don’t go into this game expecting a puzzle adventure, because that’s really not what the focus is. The one thing which was unexpected and moderately confusing (moreso to a seasoned player than a new one, which is interesting) was [SPOILERS] the use of the UNDO command in the game. I struggled with how far back I had to go with it before the end goal became obvious. This was mostly confusing because it’s a new use of a mechanic which is typically unused or relatively ignored within games, so seeing something different done with it was jarring. However, once you get used to it, it’s actually really cool. Make sure you read the descriptions as you’re going.

To players used to twisty, puzzle-y parsers, this game might feel a little too linear. That was certainly how I felt, but I don’t think it makes it a bad game: just one that I didn’t feel as engaged in as some other parsers I’ve played. I do think it would be a great game for a beginning IF player or a player looking for some more slashing and hacking than they might normally find in a parser game. The helpful hints and storymode contribute to that rec for beginners as well. It’s clever, funny, and a strong debut work which I had fun playing, so. There you go.

DMGKitN:

Okay, I’ll be honest: this game wasn’t next in my randomly assigned list. But after reading through the confusion regarding the two versions of this game floating around, I just had to play it. I managed to access both versions of the game. When I chose the “Play Online” version, I was given the crazy one, with flashing colors and words and general confusion. I do think this version is elevated by the fact that there’s an actual game to be played elsewhere, or else it would definitely be a very confusing entry (as we’ve seen already). To be so honest, as someone who’s never used twine, I actually thought the flashing colors and weird changing perspective of the page was kind of impressive, but maybe that’s actually easy to do. I wouldn’t know.

The longer and visually calmer version of the game was fun, though. This one I got by downloading the game file, by the way. I did suffer through a few iterations before realizing that the undo button was not there for decoration and I could just go back if I made a choice I didn’t like. That said, I saw quite a few of the endings, and I’m pretty sure I made it to the fullest ending, which was definitely worth the wait. While it took me a minute to get into the story, once it’s really going and you’re exploring the different options, it’s actually a pretty funny experience.

And as a checkmark, all the writing, grammar, coding, etc. was perfect. Points for polish.

{[Audio and video transcript of Dr. The Fourth Sunken Tree Floating in Fresh Water's 1st patient of the day, April 26th, 2025 Mollusk Era, at 8:00 AM]}

{[T: Therapist]}

{[S: Client]}

T: "Good morning, Specter. How are you feeling this morning?"

S: "Horribly stressed."

T: "Ah, I can tell. Would you like to share why?"

S: "I'm just sorry for making you have to do this therapy session on such short notice, especially on a weekend. I'm sorry that I missed the last three sessions we were supposed to have, and the guilt is making me sick."

T: "Don't feel sorry. While your health is important, sometimes you just need to step away from facing it head on. Don't worry about me, I get paid extra to work on the weekend."

She flips a page of her notes before looking back up to Specter.

"Is there anything else that's bothering you?"

S: It hums slightly, lost in thought.

"The reason I missed the first two weeks was because there was a murder of three inkfish children nearby the Inkopolis region. The bodies were used by a group of strange Octarians to lure a group of Salmonids down into a deep metro like area, making them captives to use to get something out of us Salmonids. They demanded eggs, both power eggs and golden eggs. I was a part of the group of both Salmonids and Inkfish working with Grizzco to head down there and save the captives. The Octarians did not receive their eggs, I got in the way of that. Luckily, not many were injured, only few killed, but they were given the right funeral."

T: "...That-"

She looks away, having just heard this news.

"That's...that's horrible. Oh great Kweemydas have mercy-oh..."

S: "Your reaction to this event is expected...I was horrified when I was given the news too, both by someone else and by the spirits of the kids themselves."

T: "...Pardon? Spirits of the kids?"

S: "Did I ever mention I could talk to ghosts? There was a good time when I wandered alone, picking up the spirits of those who died at sea to speak with and lead to their afterlife, wherever it may be. I've abandoned that job now, it got too overwhelming and was a part of why I was growing so agitated. I've been able to ignore the voices for now, but sometimes very fresh spirits cling to my scales, like those kids, drawing me to jump to action."

T: "Noted. That's actually a good thing, being able to step away from a problem when it got too overwhelming and was having a negative impact on your mental health. How did you do it?"

S: "Oh? Uh...I just ignored them. Distracted myself with other activities, like traveling with Lee. I was too busy watching over Salmon Runs to really mind any spirits. There was an individual I was fixated on at the moment, therefore I could focus on him instead of the spirits."

T: "Distraction methods, and you said you've gotten good enough at it that the spirits don't bother you that much anymore?"

S: "Yes."

T: She smiles warmly.

"That's great to hear. It shows that these methods we've been brainstorming or focusing on other things do really work and make a difference. I think that'll be the main method we try when we work on your goal of being able to keep your cool when tensions are high."

S: A small grin seemed to appear on its face.

"That sounds...nice."

T: "Now, let's find a few distraction tactics."

She flips a page in her notes.

"What are some hobbies you like?"

S: "I like watching Lee paint. I've tried painting myself, it's relaxing. I also find that bird watching is another thing I do when things get stressful. They give me time to think about those birds I see instead of whatever is bothering me. I've...picked up video games as well."

It scratched a part of its neck, looking off to the side.

"Lee introduced me to Team Sonic Racing, a racing game in the Sonic the Sailfish series. I...I got caught up playing it when I was supposed to come to therapy last Thursday."

T: "Oh, I love Sonic the Sailfish. He was my small-fryhood. I grew up playing the 06' reboot. Despite its flaws, its still one of my favorite games in the series. I still follow it now!"

S: "Lee got into it recently because of how much their QPP kept talking about it. They plan to explain to me the lore sometime. I like how diverse the cast is in the game I've been playing, and following what Lee's been trying to say about it, it gives me hope that there are heroes out there who really want to make the world a better place. That gives me hope."

T: She giggled slightly.

"Well, since you like Team Sonic Racing so much, I bet you'll love the newest addition to the Sonic Racing series that's coming out soon. Sonic Racing Crossworlds. I got to play the closed network test for the game. It was so much fun."

S: "That sounds nice."

T: "Anyways, I'm getting ahead of myself. To tie all of this together, being able to ground yourself is important to controlling yourself. Distracting yourself from harsh reality isn't a bad thing, and it can help with calming down. After that, you can reevaluate the situation and find out how to tackle it. This session was more of an add on to the last one about distracting yourself, but I think it's important that we are able to discuss it again. Really, I'm sure it'll help with controlling yourself when you feel yourself spiraling."

S: It hums.

"Got it."

T: "And that should be it for this morning. See you Thursday?"

S: "I hope. Remember to remind me."

In the eyes of a mortal, their brief little argument was quite a violent one but to them? It was nothing, a mere disagreement. A small spat in a long life wasn't worth much thought but to anyone else, it would be quite deadly. Both his and Suresh's blows to one another would likely be fatal to anyone else. "And he broke several of my bones and cut me with those talons. The blood is one things, I didn't realise he would act so aggressively about it. I've had it for two centuries, it's nothing I collected recently to hurt him directly. Our little fight, well, we could both do much worse. He got his hits in and I got mine. The fact that we didn't destroy property or hurt anyone else in the middle of the fight is a good indication that it was very minor." If they could resume speaking calmly immediately after rather than continuing to rain hell on one another, it was the same as two people simply raising their voices at each other. Forgivable and not note worthy other than seeing a display of the other's power and true strength.

The other man failed to see that his apparent lack of interest in the mundane was something that did indeed make him interesting. Hiding away was not the same as blending in with the crowd. In fact, it was one of the opposites, especially in a a city as lively as New Orleans. Where others moved in packs, he stood outside of those circles. Well...within the circle of the Lotus Eaters but that wasn't the point. "Blending in, you'd be normal. Going out every night, Enjoying what life has to offer. That'll catch the eye of maybe an average person but when I see someone that shut themselves in a bookshop, I can't help but wonder why." It was just a matter of which sort of attention Em wanted to draw in. Many would argue the witch was the worst option. "As for my mentee, he's still very much alive. I just don't count him amongst my friends since, well, I don't know what to classify him as. Thankfully, I'm a very forgiving mentor."

There was something so pure about watching someone engage with their passion. A spark in their eyes, their posture, every thing about them like a beacon. No matter how long Corvinus was alive, no matter how many things he grew bored of over a thousand years, there was still a beauty in passion that he could not dismiss. And there stood Em, utterly pouring his heart out over the most simple of books. Where such things lost most meaning to Corvinus unless a book held a power he sought, this one was utterly in love with the idea of reading about lost history. "Forgive me if books don't capture my interest much. I predate the oldest known printed book. The oldest known codex, only by about three or four hundred years is older than me. Hard to keep track of my years. Not to mention I have my own collection of books" Where Em saw it as a way to live so many lives at once, that was precisely what Corvinus had already done. Different times, different roles, different goals in life. Changing from one century to the next. He did wonder how Em would handle immortality, to actually be another person with how often Corvinus switched. Or did he seek the comfort of books rather than the actual actions written in them?

But he could oblige the bookshop owner with the request to go over some of the books. While teaching the many lost languages was out of the question, he could certainly offer translations to them. Assist if only to be near the other and watch that passion grow and thrive with fervor. He did note, however, that the other didn't pull away immediately, a brow raising. It was only once Em did that Corvinus let his hands move to his pockets. "Apologies. It was simply rather attractive watching you go on like that. I love when someone has their passions and hasn't become as calloused to the world. Attractive man acting in an attractive manner, it's hard to resist." But he finally let his eyes look back around the large room with glances to the pieces he could see. "I could dictate the recipe book. as well as offer another one of my choosing for a favour down the line. We wouldn't want these books lost to time, would we?"

Much like the books in his possession, he gave Corvinus his full attention when the other spoke. It wasn’t until the mention of naga blood was inserted into the conversation that Em stiffens a bit. On one hand he wanted to speak his mind about how he felt in terms of the other having that and on the other hand it was a touchy subject that maybe should be left between Suresh and Corvinus. “Such is the curse of being immortal, I guess.” He paused, “For the record, I believe you. That doesn’t make you any more likable in my book. You still looted the corpse, still took what was not yours, you are no better than those that killed the naga. Furthermore you hurt my friend, having that blood, and physically. There was no need for that.” Perhaps Emiliano should have gone into his divination room for a bit since Suresh told him about a Corvinus, maybe he would have gotten some answers involving the other, but it had not even crossed his mind. “Hm. I see.” At least things ended amicably between Suresh and Corvinus for the time being. Well, as amicable as it went for two ancient beings going head to head and not ending up killing the other. But he could never forget what he felt in the moments Suresh had been in danger, and that Suresh was in danger, it would be something that would haunt him forever.

“I own a bookstore in New Orleans. I do not go out, most nights I spend reading into the late evening, when I am out then it is usually running errands. I like black coffee. Just black, not even my coffee holds excitement in it. How much more do you think I should blend in? I am failing to see what about me could possibly be interesting to you. But also, don’t tell me, it does not matter either way.” They move on towards the back of the building, into the room with ancient books and writings he could not understand, and Em quietly listened to the Corvinus speak. He quirked a brow at the mention of being punched by his mentee, looking over to him when that is said, “I can only assume you deserved it given that you did not mention this mentee is dead, so perhaps stop being an asshole to people you’d like in your inner circle. That might get you more loyal friends and less punches.”

But everything shifts when they start to talk about the codex again. He forgets about all the problems in the world for just one brief moment. Doesn’t even notice the other place their hand over his, his mind still stuck on the new information he had learned about the recipe book. A damn recipe book…that’s what had been the key to light Emiliano up in a way that he had not lit up in years. “How can you not see the beauty in this book?”

Em softly smiles, it’s small but still, “The thing is…this could easily be someone’s daily journal, in which they talk about their rock collection from back then, and it would be just as valuable to me. Like if it were a journal filled with every secret the universe holds.” And for some reason, he lets himself open a little bit. “It’s like living different lives but without leaving the comfort of my bookstore. I could be an ancient Irish chef,” he nods to the book on the table, that both theirs hands are still resting on, still not registering the gentle touch, “next a pyramid builder, and next I could be reading the worlds darkest secrets. So you see, to me, it’s not just a recipe book, it’s a window to a world I know nothing about. How can you cast even a little of that aside? It’s all so fascinating.” He looks down to the pages of the codex, “Even if I can’t go out to get most of these ingredients I think it’s important to understand the history before us. And what if this recipe book is someone’s family recipe book? Perhaps they were meant to keep certain traditions alive with particular dishes, and though I might not be able to replicate it, I can try my hardest to understand and try to translate it so that others can peek into those traditional dishes too. Same as I could do for a person writing about their rocks from ancient times. In a way, I feel like I am helping immortalize them. That’s why I even have this room,” he admits, “because I want to learn from what I can’t understand. Even if it’s something as simple as a recipe book filled with recipes I can’t make again.”

His gaze travels over to their hands, for a brief moment, he watches Corvinus’s thumb run across his hand. A gentle touch like that was foreign to Em, he did everything he could to keep such precious things like that away from him, and he tried to remember the last time someone gently touched his hand that wasn’t Suresh. Corvinus had soft hands with even the lightest of scars being soft against Emiliano’s rougher hands and it felt strange. Then he looks back to the other, “My heart is set on learning everything I can from the pages in this room. From recipe books to things you deem valuable. I should like to learn all of them, but I am okay if you’d like to go grab something else that might call your attention.” It would be interesting to see the other also just as invested in reading these ancient writings. Em also did wonder what would be Corvinus’s choice. “I assure you anything you pick up will be intriguing.” Gently he takes his hand back, “You should keep your hands on the books instead. Please.”

obviously, we don't know what exactly solomon is planning, but I find it hard to believe that he seriously thought mc would go against the brothers if it came down to it. if he truly did believe that he hasn't been paying attention. this is the same mc who was willing to use the dagger on themselves if it meant keeping lucifer alive. if they're willing to give up their own life for them, what makes him think they would be any different this time?

I actually believe Solomon when he says he isn't planning on actively fighting the demons or angels. That he's only making contingencies. And that all he is doing is for the sake of humanity. Because he is right, humanity is caught right in the middle of two superpowers & should another full on war break out humans will be at a major disadvantage.

But he put his faith in the absolute worst person.

General MC settled freakishly fast in the Devildom from day 1. They like the Devildom food when humans are not even supposed to be able to eat it. And they've always put the brothers before any sort of common sense.

Solomon might not have been there to see them try to stab themself for Lucifer (and I don't think he would have been told about it) but he was there to see them sacrifice a portion of their life span to save Beel, with 0 hesitation.

But he thought that, even after all that, as humans he would understand MC best, that they'd share a similar goal and ideals and values. And, as it turns out, he was wrong

Also I think it says a lot that this is present Solomon who's still looking for ways to take down the brothers & demons & angels if it came down to it. Present Solomon who has started seeing demons as friends rather than as pawns. Who is very close with Asmo and Barbatos and Simeon and Luke and even Levi & Raphael. Who has seen how the views of angels, demons & humans, regarding each other, has changed. How slowly, they are starting to see each other as something approaching equals. It's this Solomon who, despite all that, despite genuinely being friends with everyone, is still willing to collect the resources to take them down should it ever come to that. Batman Behaviour💅 ✨️

Also can I say, I love that we got a protagonist who was asked to choose between humanity and a second option and went ummmm actually

Diavolo defined demons as being free (which is where their major difference with the angels come in - seeing as the celestial realm is extremely strict). Demons do what they want, they indulge in their sins, and are chaotic because of it. MC has done what they wanted from S1 itself - no matter what they always did what they wanted and they got what they wanted and are stubborn enough to keep working for those things, and because of that they tend to be blunt and chaotic.

Of course they fit in with demons. Of course they made the choice they wanted, the one that'll make them happy, the selfish one rather than the one that was for the good of humanity

Om really gave us the most protagonist of all time <3

Witch Reader asks the monsters for help. You want to do a spell but in needs a lot of energy. To be specific, the energy that comes from sex magic. You go on for countless hours, far beyond that what you actually need.

I just think sex magic is neat(that's a real thing btw)

Breg would help you no doubt. The breeder at first confused, but more than willing to get to please you. It's been 6 rounds already, you stuffed with cum and Breg's dicks. He feels your wall hugging him so tightly. Twitching. At this point you have more than enough magic for the spell, but Breg insitsted on making sure.

Perhaps thinking Nebul has no interest and not wanting to bother him. You ask Purpur and in the middle of it, Nebul comes and asks why you didn't come to him. So the Wraith makes a point to show that you could never bother him with such things, overstimulatingwhile also edging as a little punishment for not coming to him. Never think you would bother him, espacily if you ask like nice and good witch.

Morell sees it as a win win, giving you power and pleasure while getting you delicios cum for future meals. Who knew his little piggy was such a talanted witch. Now the Mushroom monster is always so eager whenever you practice spells, offering to help you. Thick thingers going between your legs

Patches, ever curious about magic, is more than willing to help you. Crying at the third round, you ask if he wants to stop, only for the Dulahan to beg you not to stop. Thrusting his hips up to yours, letting out such a pathetic whimper as he cums again, fat tears rolling down his race. So you continue, using his cum coverd, overstimulated dick, twitching like wild inside you. Patches has now immense intrest in your magic

[You're on a roll lately, aren't you?]

(Minors dni)

Are you fucking with me? Breg's all about that! In fact, that's one good monster to get in a relationship with if you regularly require sex magic. You'll get more than enough energy for several spells, and he'll probably still be ready for more. Every time you attempt to stop him from going further, the breeder just makes excuses to keep himself buried in your sweet holes. Are you sure that's enough? He bets if he cums deeper in your guts, you'll get so much more magic out of it. Oh- Oh! What if you two cum together? That'll probably make it stronger, won't it? Give it a try, come on. He doesn't think it's enough yet- Whenever you mention spells, he unsubtly volunteers. Because really, he's like an endless source of it for you.

Purpur is not that sexual of a being, he'll engage in it to make you and Nebul happy, but he's not very libidinous himself. Of course you're absolutely punished, not just for not coming to him for this, but for bothering his little assistant and for cumming without his permission. Really now, breaking three rules in one day? You must have forgotten your place, witch. Tsk tsk.

Patches has had experiences with sex magic before, here and there. Though it's far from his favored kind, he was eager to help a fellow witch figure it out. Although, he didn't expect you to use him for it at all. He'll never have the willpower to tell you to stop, even if his eye lights fade and his sockets flicker with flames of overstimulation. Milk him as much as you need for your spells, mistress!

Morell loves an eager piglet! In truth, you're never quite safe with this one. You're still human, even if a witch, so his end goal is always to cook you. Be careful. Even with his big fingers rubbing the cum out of you, he might take your moment of orgasmic weakness as the opportunity to seal you away in his warehouse. Who knows, witch cum might taste different enough for him to keep your juicy ass around.

hey! if you have time, what would be your opinion on those placements (just recently found out my real birth time lol):

- Sun in Scorpio (10)

- Moon in Leo (7)

- Asc and Venus (12) in Capricorn

- Saturn in 4th

- Jupiter in 5th

- Mars in 9th

- Mercury in 10th

- MC in Scorpio

have a nice day!! ❤

Hi :) so Scorpio sun is deep and powerful. Way more delicate and soft than people realise. Honestly people always portray them as this dark loner but usually they’re so loving and loyal and care a lot. Really sweet and remember important things. Have a strong sense of self and very independent but can be stubborn and controlling.

Sun in the 10th is kinda authoritative or at least demands respect from others. Very powerful but in a subtle way that doesn't really get much attention. Can be in the background but when they get confident, everyone notices. Works hard and likes to have goals and be ambitious. Has high standards and demands success from themselves and those around them.

Leo moon is stubborn when it comes to their emotions. May not feel emotions as deeply as the water moons or at least doesn't get consumed in them as much, but their emotions stay with them for a while. Actually takes time for them to move on, but once they've decided they don't go back. Fixed moons in general are prone to hold grudges so this can happen as well. Childlike and craves fun and someone that'll let them be themselves.

Moon in the 7th is emotionally affected by their relationships and personal interactions. Their friends, romantic partners, business partners can affect their moods with what they say/how they act. Can be easily affected by these people's opinions and treatment of them. May seek validation or take a while to form an identity. But very good at making people feel at ease/special.

Capricorn rising comes off very serious and mature. Obviously they have a different side to them but they only show that to people they trust and think will be there long term. Doesn't reveal things easily and very aware of how they come across/act.

Capricorn venus, from my experience, isn't that against PDA or flings lol. I knew a guy with this and he was definitely a player that had no problem with PDA. I think this is common of cardinal venuses in general. But I think with Capricorn venus, when they do decide to commit, it's over, that's it, no more fucking around. But also, might be attracted to practical, mature, ambitious people. Could have a very clean, classy style. Into clothes that look chic and smart.

Venus in the 12th is so amazing but also very frustrating. I honestly don't think there's a more beautiful house placement for venus. It just reminds me of like a period drama with Keira Knightly lol. Aesthetically stunning but also very tragic and haunting. Can be prone to falling for people from afar and not making their feelings known. Secret admirers. Long distance relationships. Falling in love with someone's soul before even processing their physical features. Might meet people volunteering, at religious places etc.

Saturn in the 4th could show a restrictive childhood/family. One that had strict parents or conservative ones. May have been a traditional family or at least a family with clear rules. Not too much freedom or affection even. Things could have been more business like than personal.

Jupiter in the 5th shows someone who really enjoys hobbies, going out, having fun. Obviously a lot of people enjoy these, but these could be things you actively seek out. Fun and charming to be around. Could be a bit impulsive and into non-committal romances. Playful and not taking things too seriously. Could have luck when it comes to dating.

Mars in the 9th is active and could be naturally athletic. Very ambitious and takes risks. Into travelling and going to places where they can have an adventure. Places that test your limits and get you out of your comfort zone. Could be a little argumentative or stubborn about their beliefs. A bit of a temper but forgets easily.

Mercury in the 10th could be known for their intelligence, even from a young age. Or at least respected for their brain. Could be consulted often about different subjects cause people are curious about their opinions or what they would do. Able to multitask and might have a career that involves communication or collaboration. Has a concise way of speaking.

Scorpio MC comes off serious and mysterious. Secretive about their life and carefully curates what they wanna show you. Attracts people easily. Could be loved or hated, no in between. Might work as a doctor, psychologist, accountant, detective, psychic, anything to do with the mind tbh.

A lot of fixed energy and some cardinal as well. Someone that takes things seriously but can also let go when they feel it's the right time. Thank you and I hope you have a nice day too!

Pick a Stray Kids Member Reading - What type of person are you generally attracted to?

How to do this reading

1. Be comfortable. Take a few deep breaths if needed. Relax.

2. Do not pick your bias! Take a look at the group photo below and pick the member that draws you the most. If there are other members that draws your attention too, then you can take a look at their readings too.

1st row from left to right: 1. Changbin, 2. Bangchan, 3. I.N, 4. Felix

2nd row from left to right: 5. Lee Know, 6. Hyunjin

3rd row from left to right: 7. Seungmin, 8. Han

1. Changbin

You're often attracted to someone who is a bit of a loner or an outcast. You also tend to find yourself attracted to someone who suffers from some pain or is in a difficult situation. Often the person that you're attracted to shares some difficult childhood or struggles with their mental health. They've generally been hurt deeply in the past. You like to be the person who helps them heal.

They're often quiet and introverted. They also are passive aggressive and bottle their feelings a lot. They are very independent yet seem sort of lonely. They're generally smart and have this mysterious allure to them. They're secretive and are sly or seem to be sly. They can be manipulative.

They are sensitive and observant. They can be intuitive or have some sort of healing nature to them. They can also be quite closed off and won't really let people into their heart. They have a lot of issues trusting people. They are pessimistic and can be party poopers.

2. Bangchan

You're often attracted to someone who is very playful and outgoing. They have a youthful nature about them. They're probably the life of the party or the center of attention at some event. They're popular and a lot of fun to be around.

They're very optimistic and laugh a lot. They can be sometimes crude or too straightforward. They're honest and don't really play games. If they like you then they're the type to say it directly. If they're into you then they're the type to actively go ask someone out.

They can be kind of immature sometimes. They also be very silly and laidback. They probably have lots of friends but have few that are actually trustworthy and reliable.

They are risk takers and don't think too much about consequences. They can be really impulsive and reckless too. They march to their own beat and don't really care about what others think about them.

3. I. N

You're often attracted to someone who says things as they are. They're very to the point and concise. They can be sometimes cut-throat. They are also very sarcastic. They're great at negotiating and debating. They're pretty logical too and you like that about them.

They can be somewhat of a know-it-all and be sort of bratty too. They give sound advice and they don't sugarcoat things. They hate liars too.

They don't shy away from challenges. They like to confront things head on. They are generally brave and aren't afraid to stand up to bullies or adversity. They can be interested in political movements or participate in rallies or protests.

They're also pretty good at organizing things. They plan for the future and think a lot.

4. Felix

You're attracted to someone who seems very cold on the outside but on the inside they're very soft. They're probably someone who likes to act very cool and distant at first or they may give off those vibes, but then once you get to know them you realize that they're very kind and soft-hearted. (I.e. They might be someone who seems to not really care much about others, but then they do notice some little detail about others and does something that makes you realize that they actually care or actually are pretty attentive.) They're the type that doesn't seem to be listening to others but they really do listen and take in every word.

They might seem like they don't really care about others' opinions, but deep down they do. Their feelings can get hurt pretty easily.

They are also very stubborn. They likely have few friends or if they are part of a popular group, they're the quieter one that people respect and look towards for advice. They generally give good advice. They also are good listeners.

They don't like talking much. They prefer listening and observing.

5. Lee Know

You're attracted to someone who is very sharp and intelligent. They seem to know so much about the world and about themselves. They can give off sort of arrogant vibes sometimes. They're very confident and they know what they want in life. They have clear goals and are passionate about their career.

They're very charismatic and often in leadership roles or somehow known for their skills. They can be like the head of student council or be in a VP role of student council. They probably join or have joined a lot clubs. They are generally pretty well-rounded and have several different skills or interests.

They can be sort of self-centered and consider themselves first before others. They are very charming and are great at convincing others what to do or believe in.

They're also very friendly and polite. They treat people pretty equally. It's hard to figure out whether they have a romantic interest in someone because they're always pretty kind to everyone. They're sort of the type that'll be all smiley or polite to others so some people can feel they're sort of fake.

6. Hyunjin

You like someone who gives off that sort of stereotypical bad person vibes (for lack of a better word - I apologize if this might seem offensive. No intention there. Just don't know how else to describe this.)--you know the sort of lead from a rom com or some kdrama/jdrama that's like known as the player or some wild type and they're super popular. You know they're probably up to no good or they're not really suited for the type of relationship you seek, but you can't help but want to get to know them more and want them to settle down with you. They might not necessarily be players, but they give off those vibes.

They're adventurous, really fun, and daring. They're full of life and they lead an exciting life (compared to yours). They love parties and love getting together with friends. They might dress very differently or they might rebel in some way like you'd think someone working in their position would not have tattoos or piercings but they do. They might be like a nerd at school but then they actually party a lot or have piercings/tattoos.

They love breaking rules. They can be strong leaders or somehow find themselves in leadership roles. They often have a lot of people who will follow them or believe in them. They're very popular and well-liked among others. They're very confident and sure of themselves. They can make decisions easily. They can have a strong opinion about things and are very stubborn. Some might get too sucked in their ego that they become too dominant or controlling, so much so that they may be bullies. Some can be violent or too aggressive.

7. Seungmin

You're often attracted to someone who is quiet, introverted, and gentle. They're attentive to details. They may be a wall flower or their presence isn't so known in public settings. However, during one-to-one or smaller groups, they will make their presence more known.

They're very sweet and romantic. They are imaginative and creative too. They might have some artistic talent or skill that you really admire about them. They're also very thoughtful and you like how deep they are.

They can have an eye for aesthetics or be interested in skincare, fashion, makeup, interior design, architecture, the arts, etc. They are usually good with colors and matching things too.

They're typically pretty innocent or gullible, but some may give off those vibes but really not be. It depends.

Sometimes they can be pushovers too and be too indecisive. They have trouble voicing their opinions and can be easily taken advantage of.

8. Han

You're attracted to someone who's athletic and strong. You like someone who is physically active or shows some care towards their health. You like someone who is disciplined and hardworking too.

You're generally attracted to someone who is good with teamwork and isn't selfish. They're helpful and enjoy helping others. They can do some charity too and volunteer. They generally like animals and nature.

They generally don't excel in all academics. They're more into sports or other things that involve hands or street smart. They have trouble focusing while sitting in a classroom setting. They can be easily tricked and they can trust others too easily.

They're also not someone who is organized. They can be messier and scatterbrained.

They're generally honest. They can be sort of simple minded. They are optimistic and cheerful. They smile a lot too and know how to cheer people up. They're very encouraging and positive. They remind you of sunshine.
