No one will ever understand this image on the level I do ^-^

Seriously I have like 3 million icon edits of this frame alone BFJEKSK the SM fandom makes fun of this scene but they don’t get it lmao maybe it’s because I’m partially introjected from Usagi and also believe in reincarnation outside of system stuff but it’s not silly!

Imagine you die for your lover and then get reincarnated and then both of your memories get wiped and you reawaken and remember before them

I think you would try to make them remember through poorly drawn crayon drawings as well 😭

THE WHEEL IS SO LOUD IM NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO SLEEP TONIGHT

[araremonaka]

Making a AU where Brozone was able to achieve the perfect family harmony the first time :33

They become a lot closer with each other after, and they all have a lot more trust towards JD and are more accepting of his controlling behavior with the band because thats what helped them to achieve the perfect family harmony. There’s a lot of unresolved tension between everyone because of this though(except maybe like branch at least in that moment).

During the Bergen escape they ‘lose’ Clay, and the remaining members disband Brozone. They don’t exactly really separate from each other, and it actually keeps them closer together. Branch would start a solo career soon after with JD helping as his manager. With JD never really growing out of being controlling and everyone else being more complicit with it well…

TLDR : Branch grows up as a overworked child star

Im still figuring things out so some things maayyyy change. Floyd and Bruce I honestly dont really know what to do with them exactly. Like I said Im figuring things out still.

i don’t really see canon “the prank” to be “attempted murder” but i find the idea that wally & orion are proud of sirius for almost killing a half blood to be funny(or alternatively disappointed that snape didn’t actually die)

!!!!!!!!!!!

OKAY yeah uhh i have Thoughts on the prank. i dont think it was attempted murder either bc snape is pretty smart and sirius knows that, i think he assumed snape would catch sight of the werewolf and leave bc he got piss scared .

ummm yes so wally and orion right . obv parents get involved (snape's, sirius' & remus') (no one finds out remus is a werewolf though ofc) and sirius gets off scot free (basically scott free) because ykyk Black family and i hc he comes home that christmas (bc angst <3) and walburga's like awe my baby boy's finally coming back to me <333 good job on trying to get rid of that filthy half breed sweetie pie <3333 too reckless but it doesnt matter !! awe whyre you so sad youll get him next time ill help <33333

walburga is clinically insane btw

orion is just dreading seeing more of sirius but he's impressed but hes also a motherfucking DICK so hes just like . ofc you failed . stupid mf.

god i need sirius to punch the fuck out of him.

whateverr basically sirius wallows in the feeling of im just like them ☹️💔 & walburga is ENTHRALLED & orion is mildly impressed

oh and also random regulus thing hes worried bc sirius is Bitchy but hes also a bastard little brother so he just annoys sirius the whole christmas break but it actually works ! because sirius comes back to hogwarts and thinks GOD i hate them all 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Yall, its time to ramble about visual/environmental storytelling cause this is silly article is driving me insane.

I won't argue for if the game should have had more constant and involved cutscenes like Robobot or Star Allies, but what I will say is that this game is VERY rich in story through the world design. The Forgotten Land as opposed to say the Land of the Sky in TD or the entire galaxy of Star Allies is like, DROWNING in writing and narrative. It builds so much mystery and intrigue through the theming of every world and even individual levels, with exploring both how the people of the land originally lived and how it's being reclaimed by nature and the animals.

I think the closest things maybe is Robobot and Halcandra in RTDL, the former having great little designs that key you into WHAT Haltmann is doing and what makes it so toxic. Halcandra though is the ultimate grand-daddy, the contrast between it and the Lor, and Egg Engines and Dangerous Dinner is full of theming and clues about the nature and history of the planet. AND THAT IS STORY, THAT IS WRITING! Especially when compared to say Star Allies, where most of the levels of the levels are just ye average Kirby themed fluff with little to say about the Jamba or the state they've left the galaxy in. But when you play through the casino levels of Robobot, as well as delightful theming and level design, you see that Haltmann is erecting literally the most predatory entertainment centers imaginable. When you step off the sleek futuristic Lor into the scrapyards and wastes of Halcandra, you get fun intimidating final worlds, and a good grasp on *why* the people who made the Lor aren't around anymore, and may even start questioning why Magolor made such a great fuss of dragging you to this horrible place. Music is also deeply important to this storytelling. Each of the factories/towers erected in ever world of Robobot's theme is a remix usually of themes related to older mechanical levels, subtly clueing you into where Haltmann go their technology from. Outside the Lor rather than the comfortable motif of Green Greens is this almost comically suspicious and disoriented theme once you're stuck on Halcandra and returning to Magolor with more doubts about his words. The final level inside of the volcano house a theme that is teasing the twist to come, and the theme for fighting Landia before the big reveal is less triumphant, and more majestic and pensive. Possibly trying to evoke more hesitance than confidence, even if most people wouldn't catch on to that on a first run.

But the cooler thing, is that while Robobot has this cool theming at key levels, and RtDL does at the end, this type of shit is pervasive ALL throughout Forgotten Land. Every world and nearly every level is a unique, well thought-out set piece! You get to see abandoned towns, cities, malls, stores, factories, resorts, and an amusement park, each which serves as more than just a fun location, but a clear picture of the world and the state its in. This intent is made clearer through the music and tone that goes out of its way to not highlight the destruction of these areas but their beauty, wonder, and mystery through the eyes of an clueless animals and our favorite pink alien. The abandoned Alivel Malls theme is a track as upbeat and peppy as what must've played over it's speakers in it's hayday, because the hustle and bustle breathed back into it by the animals and Kirby just exploring this mysterious complex is just as lively. The theme of the Everbay Coast is peaceful and sunny despite the Holine ruins because it's as part of the scenery to the animals and Kirby as the picturesque palms and sands. And Wondaria!!!!!!!!! OMG WONDARIA WHERE TO EVEN BEGIN WITH EVERY FUCKING LEVEL AND THEME IN WONDARIA!!! THIS IS WHY I CAN'T TAKE THAT CLAIM SERIOUSLY - y'know when I cried at Forgotten Land? In world 3. Not because of a cutscene or a line of dialogue, but just from the sheer emotion the setting evoked in me. The sweet, laid-back, starry-eyed wonder that it expressed from Kirby mixed with my own sense of nostalgia being aware of what that place was, and how beautiful it was to see it rediscovered and adored by Kirby and the animals of the Forgotten Land. It evokes such a strong feeling of bittersweetness, of existential dread comforted by the knowledge that the simple joys and memories we create places like amusement parks to share will continue on as long as there is life in the world. And unlike some of my musings about past games, this was explicitly intentional. What truly brought the tears to my eyes was remembering an interview where the devs were explaining how they were trying to keep the tone light and Kumazaki said specifically they wanted to evoke peace and beauty rather than loss.

LIKE THIS IS WRITING! This is storytelling, this is intention. It's just subtle, but not at all unimportant, and it ties into the more overarching plot. It raises the question constantly of where the people went that is answered by Forgo, and expresses the dichotomy between the simple innocence of the animals compared to the ambitions of the people who abandoned them and that is now possessing their leader. It creates stakes for Elfilis and Forgo's intentions to destroy everything so beautiful and pure about the current world, but as it absolves the current world of guilt, it puts into perspective JUST HOW LONG Forgo must have been locked away that things changed so much. And as softly as the exploits of the original people are portrayed by the game, knowing their treatment of Eliflis and Forgo as a thing of entertainment and tool for innovation is sickening placed in contrast with it. Like back to Wondaria, the way it shows how much space travel must have pervaded the imagination and escapism of the people either before or after Forgo's arrival is insanely smart. And it gives me chills in the best way seeing Kirby run around images of cartoon aliens from a civilization who would never meet him. Of Kirby, Elfilin, and Bandana sticking their head into a cardboard cutout of an astronaut meeting an alien, with the text "wish you were here" above in a script they don't even understand. A SCRIPT THE WRITERS MADE FOR THIS GAME SO THAT THEY COULD ADD MESSAGES LIKE THAT INTO THE WORLD FOR KEEN PLAYERS TO NOTICE AND MAKE CONNECTIONS. Like it's insane. The dedication the Hal Labs has to stuff like this is maddening! It's so sweet and heartfelt and crafty, I'm so pissed off how little respect it gets because people don't understand visual storytelling!!!!! Saying Forgotten Land is light on story is preposterous, it might just be one of the most finely crafted stories the series has had to date, and is just a really solid piece of science fantasy writing in general honestly. It is packed with environmental storytelling that drives me Up The Fucking Wall, Man.

i think the one who hasn’t a chip on their shoulder is pedro because they are not that dumb but the problem is that he’s the one nawt happy with whatever the fuck is going on😭 like the vibes are going to be so weird lolol. binder ain’t got a thought behind those eyes, enea is just here for the vibes, yk they’re chill. the other side of the box tho💀💀 pedro is going to be so mad if the bike is shit next year too (100% will be) while maverick will destroy the bike with his own hands the first time he experiences the ktm management treatment. and what makes it even better is that ktm are on a financial crisis rn. like pick a struggle bro🔥🔥🔥

SO fascinated by KTM's internal implosion. red bull racing management style is uh. as we have learned perhaps not the most caring and tender of work environments... so naturally they have brought in. checks notes. guy who seems like he doesnt care half the time (not an actual read on enea just a popular perception i think) and guy who throws a dart at a board to determine qualifying postilion. should work out.

idk my perspective is strongly colored by my life having been completely changed when i realized i was [embarrassed]/[ashamed] about things that were done to me as a kid and it was preventing me from addressing them and recovering. but i think a lot of people straight up do not consciously know what being embarrassed feels like. not like they've never been embarrassed but like, they'll feel the fury and fear that are part of embarrassment and just completely lash out and double down. and never really revisit that sentiment even if later in life they're more forgiving of other similar things. it's not that that one thing was actually so bad you were just embarrassed it's ok!!!!
