#if anyone ends up making it I'd love to gear your opinion

[arttsuka]

what is the meat(?) in the food photo called

It's a salmon fillet (I'd take another picture to show it better but I already ate it)

Here's a picture of another, still frozen salmon fillet I have in the freezer.

!!!

Feel free to pick just one of these to answer if it's too much:

- Thoughts on the submas parents and their personalities? How did they meet and what were they like as parents to the twins?Apologies if they have names and I just haven't found it yet

- Gertrude's relationship with Piers and Marnie? With Grimsley? Her face screams "attitude" and I like it

- How did Maddie meet Dolly? What was her first impression of Emmet and Ingo?

These are off the top of my head, but I'd happily indulge in your ramblings on any of em nevertheless!

Sorry it took so long for me to answer! I had to really think hard about some of these. I did end up answering all of them though!

Annett is very reserved! She doesn’t talk all that much, but when she does she is monotone and speaks as if she is reading off a script. Hudson on the other hand is very loud and expressive, sometimes without intending to be. He loves to just talk for hours about nothing while Annett happily listens. As for first meetings, It’s a long story but I have written it out already! Which you can read here. In terms of how they were like as parents I would like to say Annett definitely struggled a lot at first, a lot of times worried if she was fit to be a mother, but in the end she ended up being a great mom to the twins (in their opinion), albeit very strict when it came to certain things. Hudson was a lot more loose than her, doing all the usual dad things a dad would do, playing baseball, teaching them how to ride a bike, etc. He was always the more hands on parent and soooo enthusiastic to spend time with his kids and be involved with anything they did.

Gertrude loves her kids so much oh my god. She is the most protective single mother of two ever, she'd kill for those kids. A big reason she becomes an Elite Four member in Unova is so she can send money back to Galar for both of them. She would literally do anything for them, those are here babies! However her relationship with Grimsley is... Complicated. They have a long backstory but to make it short, Gertrude ran away from their abusive household and left Grimsley behind to fend for himself. Over the years they mend things, but Gertrude still holds many regrets over it.

Dolly was a gift from Madeline's parents when she was young! To Madeline that's her baby, she's always been at her side through everything, and if anything ever happened to her she'd kill everyone and then herself. OH BOY. OKAY. For first impressions, she met Ingo first since he was the one that did her job interview. She didn't think much of him at all really, just the standard "That's my future boss." situation so she respects him in that regard. As for Emmet, they met a couple weeks after she started working in Gear Station. The thing about Madeline is, she views people as toys to play with, especially anyone that has a significant height difference over her. So seeing him got her thinking how much could she (as the employee) could get one of her bosses to do for her. I guess then her first impression was mostly "He's fun to play with!" but over time that formed into legitimate romantic feelings.

Thanks for all these questions btw!!! I loved answering them!!!

[harukapologist]

i never noticed your blog title. i am no.2 0109 siblings enjoyer. do you have headcanons for them too? (i am begging, respectfully)

OH MY GOD YIPPIE YIPPIE FINALLY SOMEONE ASKED ME FOR 0109 SIBLINGS HCS.... Ive been waiting for an ask like this for such a long time thank you... AND YAY FELLOW 0109 SIBLINGS ENJOYER worry not i have plenty!!! for both haruka & mikoto and haruka & john

-THEY BOTH LIKE ART!!!! haruka liking art & drawing is a hc of mine that i adore... and mikoto canonically likes art, but feels that he isnt good at it. at first he watches haruka draw and praises him and then one day haruka asks mikoto to draw him something, mikoto is like "oh im not that good of an artist actually..." but then picks up the pen and haruka is MESMERIZED by mikoto's art he's like. Oh my god. Please teach me. You're an amazing artist.... and Mikoto is really surprised because no one ever praised his art like this before. And he already sees Haruka as a great artist so he feels really encouraged to draw again. and they both spend a lot of time drawing together....

-mikoto likes sketching more & is great at it, but haruka likes painting more & is great at it, so sometimes mikoto will sketch something and haruka colors it, and the other way around if they wanna experiment. and they give each other tips (Haruka is very shy to give mikoto tips but mikoto is like " I'd love to hear your opinion on my art, i want to paint more like you!!! youre so good at it!!!" and haruka is just like :D !!!

-remember from the 0105 platonic hc post that, in my post milgram AU, shidou drives haruka home from school. If Haruka doesn't walk with the other 3 prisoners who are in school, Mikoto takes him on his bicycle and drives him to school in the morning before cycling to work!!! i like to imagine sometimes fuuta has morning lectures so he joins them (fuuta is tiny enough that there won't be a space problem i Think but they'll still be kinda squished on each other ahhaha) and the bicycle ride is disastrous because mikoto and fuuta are bickering while haruka is holding onto mikoto for dear life LMAO

-speaking of cycling since mikoto likes to cycle. he teaches haruka!!! haruka is always very scared if he'll fall but mikoto is patient with him, reassures him that the safety gear is there for a reason (Mikoto has no plans of letting haruka get hurt, he always makes sure haruka is wearing safety gear when he's a total beginner) and is encouraging haruka when he makes even the smallest progression!!! like haruka could cycle for 3 seconds and mikoto is like "LET'S GOOOO YOU DID IT IM SO PROUD OF YOU" and goes to high five haruka and hug him

-sometimes the evening or night time makes haruka feel down & scared or have a lot of intrusive thoughts or nightmares, it's been a thing since he was in the real world but its more frequent and harsh in milgram so he goes to mikoto's room with his plush and just lies down next to him while mikoto is doing whatever he's doing. often when haruka does this he will end up falling asleep next to mikoto in his bed and mikoto tucks him in and sleeps next to him and holds haruka if he wants to be held. mikoto really feels protective over haruka especially when he's resting, like anyone could be entering the room and mikotos like " be quiet... haruka is sleeping!" :'3

-speaking of harukas bunny plush, he really REALLY doesnt like anyone touching it without permission (the autistic urge to gatekeep the comfort item) and mikoto understands when he asks haruka if he can touch his plush and haruka just., *shakes head nervously* but soon haruka allows him to and mikoto is delighted that haruka trusts him enough to let him interact with his comfort item!!!!

-haruka really likes mikoto's hair and one day he's like "mikoto-san, I want to dye (well... bleach) my hair too someday" and mikoto gets really excited and they talk about what colors they could dye haruka's hair when they get out of milgram :D

-haruka always "heard" of john but he actually sees john for the first time after mikoto's guilty verdict in t2, and rightfully so hes very scared of him, but when he tries to approach mikoto on his birthday in 2022 (haruka was the first and only person to approach mikoto without bad intent ever since he got the guilty verdict and i cannot stop thinking abt that), he asks mikoto about what's been happening to try and understand and mikoto just. he tries his best to be strong but haruka can see that mikoto himself has no idea what's going on and is close to breaking down. haruka just hugs him gently, gently enough so mikoto can refuse the hug if he wants, but mikoto doesnt. haruka does his best to comfort mikoto from his guilty verdict, even though he doesnt really understand. all he knows is that his friend is a good person and he wants to comfort and understand him the best he can. and then at one point haruka approaches mikoto to try and talk to him and john is fronting!!!

-so this is like harukas first time actually interacting with john. hes like Oh no. i came to talk to my friend but now hes in the Scary state (he doesnt know yet what DID is) what do i do im scared. but he actually tries totalk to john. and john is surprised that haruka, although scared of him, actually tries to talk to him and understand him. john tries to calm himself to not scare haruka further and they have a long talk, mainly haruka trying to understand john. they get closer after this

-at one point john just asks. hey why are you still trying to approach me. I'm scaring everyone off and ruining your friend's life you should be scared of me. you should be viewing me like a monster. but haruka out of everyone understands what it feels like, being viewed as a monster for a mental condition. its why he's in milgram after all. and he realizes just how similar him and john are and hes like "..uh uuh. nobody should be viewed as evil for being mentally distressed right?" and him and john both start to see some positives in themselves, haruka because "hey if my friend is a good person even though he gets scary (when john fronts) maybe i can be a good person too." and john for a similar reason because "hey if this kid here has allegedly committed a murder too but can still be so nice (probably the only nice person to john) maybe i can still have a chance to Not ruin mikoto's life"

-ohmy gosh im so sorry I spoke too much righ t aaaa.... so sorry... but john feels protective of both mikoto and haruka after this. 0109 siblings are the realest ever and i have more abt haruka and john but ill stop here hehe I hope you like these!!!

Going Up - Elevator Pitch Winners

An uplifting round of applause for our winners this week: @bergdg, @bread-into-toast, and @izzet-always-r-versus-u!

Marchesa, Queen of Paliano - @bergdg

The other mods were quite enamored with this one, and as a fan of venturing into the dungeon, I can definitely see why. Plans, conceptually, are very good as a sort of more linear execution on the aforementioned dungeons. Your sample plan, Maintain Order, I think does things mostly right, namely starting off with a low-board-impact ability, so that your opponent doesn't have to worry quite so much about the exact contents of every scheme you could possibly go on. That said, I do wish it was at least a step longer to complete, if only to tone down Marchesa's last ability, which feels potentially very overwhelming given that the tokens it can make can themselves generate more tokens. I also do kind of wish that abandoning the plan was perhaps more of a discreet step? Just so that switching gears is just a smidge more difficult, and maybe give players some scaling payoff for when they complete or leave whatever plan they were on, so that seeing things through closer to the end is more heavily incentivised, but I think that's more me exploring this cool space you've created than an actual criticism of how you've done things. At the end of the day the plan mechanic is clever and endearing and that's a hard combination to not speak highly of.

Quintorius, Digsite Delver - @bread-into-toast

Planeswalkers are the sorts of things that are generally both difficult to design and difficult to evaluate, so it's a bite rare that they find themselves this high on the podium. That said, we're here, so let's talk about why, starting with the two words that make this card an eligible contestant. Backup planeswalker feels so natural you'd think they'd've already done it, and the particular loyalty abilities you've chosen to grant this card simultaneously feel very appropriate for the character, while still being generally useful on just about anyone else. That said, I am not without concerns. Getting to abruptly generate four loyalty counters and a 3/2 blocker certainly seems safe on the Elephant in the room, but I am a little worried about how well it might play alongside planeswalkers with somewhat more dramatic loyalty abilities. Strixhaven Kasmina certainly never broke anything, and this is two more mana than that, but generating blockers on a positive loyalty ability has historically led to very strong planeswalkers, so I do feel some concern is warranted. All that said, I don't think I'd really change anything about what this guy is doing, aside from maybe dropping the +2's to +1s, just to be safe. Lovely execution regardless.

Awaken from Slumber - @izzet-always-r-versus-u

Straight to the point: Pray is an inspired attempt at fixing conspire. I love how, by removing the payoff inherent to the ability, by adjusting the ceiling, you've made it so that the floor can kind of rise to meet it. Three mana to dredge back two creatures from your graveyard is far from a bad rate, and getting to turn that into an actual full reanimation spell is just delightful. This also just feels like a very clever design to show off this mechanic on, as the off-mode very cleanly gives you precisely enough creatures to allow you to pray for something else. Certainly not flashiest thing submitted this week but I have full faith that this will play quite well and honestly that's worth a lot in my opinion.

[raysforsunlight]

At the same time that I like this, I also don't. It doesn't focus on the things that make Mikey unique. ADHD does make it harder to focus on things you're not interested in, but there also something to be said for the fact that researchers have found that people who play video games absorb and process information/ new situations faster than people who don't. This can translate into reflexes, a quicker understanding of situations and reactions that seem as though the person's body just moved before anyone else even realized what was happening. I'd like to see a situation where everything is going according to plan, until it isn't, and the first person to act is Mikey. Full on joking around, acting, and saving people while others the others take a couple of seconds to switch gears. I fully embrace the idea that they're all on the spectrum (they're all too focused on their individual paths to not be) but I think Mikey has so much more that he offers than just someone who messes up. I think it does a disservice to the character if he doesn't just straight up love his brothers to the point that him 'messing up' and getting ragged on for it is as much so that they can get out their frustrations. I think deep down Mikey is actually much deeper than that and is really good at putting on the brave face and taking it for the team. Because at the end of the day he doesn't know that he holds them all together, lifts them up, puts a foot forward and runs into the burning building because he loves his brothers and saving people is what he does, then whom ever is writing his character has just got it wrong.

Might just be my opinion, I might even be projecting my values onto him. But at the end of the day there's a certain wisdom in letting things roll off your back because the relationship matters more to you than being right.

okay but i would sell my soul for an episode where Mikey screws up a mission and gets severely scolded by everyone and then has to stay behind on the next mission so then he decides that he’s going to be serious and never be silly again. I mean think about, he’s been scolded and insulted more than anyone else on the show for making mistakes and messes, so it only makes sense if he realizes that he’s tired of being the “screw up” and the “stupid one” and stops laughing and making jokes and smiling all the time.

I had to know your opinion on this. This could be for the main 6 or courtiers or both but how do you think they would react if they had a partner who was dangerously smart but also gets bored of predictability. What do you think they would do to keep them entertained day to day or in the bed?

Ooooh, this is interesting... batter up! *I step up to the plate, bat in hand. The bat gets upset about the way I'm holding it, squeaks at me, and flies away*

...or not. Well, anyway - I think this is a pretty niche concept, in a good way! I like the sort of characters that you're on about - the 'Sherlock Holmes' types, right? Let's see...

Asra: Asra gets to cheat a little bit on this one because of his magic - I imagine it's endlessly fascinating to see just what he can do with it (in bed or otherwise... ;) ) On top of that, Asra is a very mysterious person in general, and so I think he'd be one of the best fits for someone like this, since they'd always be trying to figure him out. And he's not dumb at all, either, so he'd probably try to keep a step ahead of them as best he could :P

Nadia: For Nadia, it would likely come down to games of skill. Chess is the one that comes to mind, but really any game like that. I imagine she'd be pretty competitive about it, and determined to win once she realised that her opponent would not be so easily beaten. In turn, this would likely make her partner feel endeared to her, which would make it all the more surprising when she whips out the more... dominant gear during their downtime. Doesn't matter how smart you are if you're gagged and bound, or so Nadia says :)

Portia: This is a tough one. Ultimately, I feel like Pasha might struggle to keep someone like this engaged, but her own endless curiously could provide highly entertaining to them as they attempt to teach her what they know, and in return, she teaches them all the little secrets, tricks, and shortcuts in Vesuvia :)

Julian: Mmmm.. not sure about this one. Jules is (very) smart academically, but can be pretty socially/situationally dense sometimes. His relationship with the person would likely revolve around intellectual debate staked on raunchy dares, which both parties would likely enjoy greatly. It does rely on the person in question being able to match (or at least bear) Julian's sex drive, though... it might also not be a good fit, since I'm not actually sure how much Julian would like being 'intellectually upstaged' - I genuinely have no idea. Everyone reading, drop your thoughts in the comments!

Lucio: Hah. Hmm. Hah. I don't know about this one. I can only see this going poorly - Lucio would be constantly mad that his partner is so much smarter than him, and his behaviour would either lead to A) various fights, spelling the end of the relationship, or B) Lucio becoming hellbent on 'making damn sure they know I'm smart, because I am! Aren't I?' And attempting to outdo them constantly, which might just be bonkers enough to keep the person engaged with constantly making up new puzzles and riddles for Lucio to solve, and amused at his failures (and happy at his successes!).

Muriel: There would be an odd standoff here; I think Muriel wouldn't really care about how smart the person is, and it might make him feel a bit insecure if they get bored that easily. Sorry, bur I'm not sure this ones a viable match :/ Just can't quite see it working out. Only thing I can think of is maybe the person is intrigued enough about Muriel and his silent persona that they dedicate themselves to getting him to slowly open up about everything, which to them, might just be the most valuable knowledge of all. :)

This is all just speculation, so if anyone else has any opinions/thoughts/cool ideas about this prompt, I'd love to hear them! Thanks for the ask, anon ❤

Why Do-yeok

I cannot believe I'm writing another one of this "Why" post. I thought it's a one-time thing with Love Alarm... But, here I am. Maybe because just like the previously mentioned Netflix series, Nevertheless causes huge discourse among its viewers. Team Potato and Team Butterfly. Jae-eon and Do-hyeok. Sanctuary or the gravitational pull.

And first off, an important note: my intention by writing this is not to seek any debate with anyone. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, so here's mine. Feel free to read it or definitely not to read it if you're firmly on Jae-eon's corner and you can't imagine Na-bi with anyone else but him. I just want to sort out my thoughts simultaneously through writing this. And this is gonna be a bit long, I suppose.

So, as the title already declares, I'm Team Potato all the way. And, yep, this means I'm thoroughly on Do-hyeok's side and I want him to be happy because he deserves it. (Still need to see what's in store in the final episode, but I'm perfectly okay with an open ending: Na-bi ends up not choosing anyone but herself, as long as her friendship with Do-hyeok remains intact.)

And this comes down simply because of who Yang Do-hyeok is as a person.

If Do-hyeok is real, then you can bet that I'll date him myself too. At the very least, I'd definitely like to be friends with him.

Why?

Because....

One. His whole vibe is just so....warm and comfortable. We often see Do-hyeok's cheerful sides. He smiles a lot (and boy, Chae Jong-hyeop's smiles are just so endearing, but we're talking about the character here. Ahem.) He's attentive, thoughtful, and open. And he's not only like this with Na-bi. He, by nature, is a very friendly person, as you can see from his interaction with Do-yeon, his cousin, also with Na-bi's friends and the hyeongs in the noodle restaurant that he works at.

And I like it a lot that even just after Do-hyeok confesses to Na-bi and she turns him down, the very next day, they're able to speak with each other normally and just talk about his videos and how she'll watch them and give him feedback. That night, Na-bi also answers his call with a smile on her face. They joke around and not even stopping after Do-hyeok throws her some arguably-cringey-lines (if uttered by other guys and not handled properly). Clearly, Na-bi's very on ease and comfortable with and around him despite everything that has happened.

She even says this on her own: "And most of all, I feel comfortable when I'm with him."

Two. With Do-hyeok, the communication is sterling. Honesty and communication is also very important in a healthy relationship. Your partner isn't a mind reader, so you gotta tell her/him what you feel and think about, especially when you're having a hard time, so you both can work on it together. And our potato guy is the perfect example of openness and honesty.

Even when he's having a hard time, he doesn't lash out (unlike a certain someone), but he communicates it clearly to Na-bi: "I saw you and Park Jae-eon going into your house together. I know I said that I could wait for you as long as it takes. But I felt so jealous."

Do-hyeok also casually throwing lines like: "It's nice to hear your voice. The whole neighborhood seems empty without you." which can be really cringey, but hearing these with Chae Jong-hyeop's delivery = it's just Do-hyeok openly sharing his thoughts. And, again, he's not just like this with Na-bi. That's just the way he is. He openly states his concerns and thoughts to people close to him.

After her first disaster relationship and Jae-eon (who's a master deflector on all personal questions and is truly opaque), IMO someone like Do-hyeok is what Na-bi needs. With Do-hyeok, she never has to guess where she stands. And Na-bi responds to his openness accordingly. She shares her worries and not-so-good moments ("I was spacing out because the critique went badly. I got scolded. This semester is really the worst. I didn't get accepted to the exchange program as well.") And of course, Do-hyeok responds by reassuring and encouraging her.

Three. They begin as friends. Childhood friends, even. And while some may point out that she friend-zones him, I beg to differ. The expression on Na-bi's face when she first sees Do-yeon and hasn't recognizes her is not the expression of someone who sees her just-platonic-friend conversing with a girl. You can practically see the gears in her head turning and she suddenly looks unsure: "Who is that girl talking to Do-hyeok?"

But anyway, iIluminatedquill has written here and here what I want to say and more, so I won't add any more here, other than this: it's my own personal preference as well. I'm just more drawn to romantic relationships which also evolve from friendship. I feel that lust will only get you so far, and the companionship aspect is what makes it long-lasting. (Even in my personal life, my boyfriend is not only my boyfie, he's my friend and partner in crime also.)

Four. Do-hyeok has good and normal relationships with his family. He obviously has good relationship with his Grandpa (judging from the way he's reviving his Grandpa's noodle place until his Grandpa feels better) and is close with his cousin, Do-yeon. While this is based on what's been shown and even though we never see or hear about his parents, I think it's safe to say that Do-hyeok most probably grows up in a loving family and he carries their values with him as he approaches his relationships with people as an adult.

Again, this is mostly personal preference, but as someone who highly value family, for me this is another point for Do-hyeok. I'm not saying that someone with dysfunctional family cannot form loving relationships, but it's what one aspires for.

Do-hyeok cares for people. He takes care of them (e.g. voicing concerns over Do-yeon's plastered hand, preparing umbrella and coffee for Na-bi, etc etc). And, sadly, Jae-eon's distant family background just makes him even more detached and non-committal towards people.

As for Na-bi, she wants to learn from her mother and not following in her footsteps. "I promise myself I would never date while watching my mom." It's heavily implied (and is practically confirmed by her aunt) that her mother dates around as well, and from the one scene we're shown during her birthday weekend, she always feels like her mother neglects her and she's upset about it. So, yeah, Na-bi wants to live differently, and it's clear who's a natural at it already.

Five. I can see them growing together. Yeah, Na-bi's mostly the one who needs to sort out her life, but she also can be a good influence to Do-hyeok. She gives him feedback on his videos (as an example) and he builds upon that.

From Na-bi herself: "I don't want to ever disappoint Do-hyeok." She sees him as such a good guy and always receives things from him. I interpret her line here as her desire to improve herself, to be better. And that's how a good relationship should be, right? It brings out the best out of each other.

That's it from me for now.

I guess some of the points up there can be different priorities for different people, and that's okay. As I've said at the beginning of this post, this is all mine, so feel free to disagree.

To me, Jae-eon is like this very strong gravitational pull: he's sexy, mysterious and very alluring, yet he displays oh-so-many red flags. It's all such a rollercoaster ride with him: very fun and thrilling, yet can also cause you extreme dread.

While Do-hyeok is like a sanctuary. He represents safety, stability and ease. With him, it's like strolling on a park somewhere under the sunshine: things feel warm, pleasant, and cozy.

Na-bi probably still feels the gravitational force of Jae-eon. It's hard to shake off completely on such a short span of time, but I hope she remembers that just like her namesake, she always have her own strength to fly and defy gravity.

[fizzysquish]

I'd really like to hear about your opinion on the ahit fandom if youre ok with sharing? love your writing by the way!!

Oh wow I actually didn't expect anyone to wanna know yifhfkhck

And thank you!

Alright this is.. Gonna be long and most likely have some spelling errors every now and then but bear with me.

Tw- talk of pedophilia, swear words

Tldr at the very bottom

The ahit fandom..

...sucks

But also doesnt? Its kind of hard to explain. In general, if you just glance at the fandom it will either come across as pure or as a shit show. This fandom has some serious problems.

This fandom has a lot of drama happy people in it. Im not going to name names or anything, cause there's no point, but it does. A single scroll through the tags will tell you that much. And this isnt me saying 'people can't have opinions' or what have you. What im saying is that there are people in this fandom who live just to stir up drama and make others angry.

Or, in a lot of cases, instead of just saying a persons opinion, they'll swear up a storm and say they hate certain people or call certain types of fans 'the problem with the fandom' and like.. That just makes you sound like an asshole honestly. And it hurts people, too.

(And nobody can tell me it doesn't. Ive had to reassure too many venting and upset friends because of it. It hurts people.)

Also, because you know I have to mention this and it fits perfectly after this first paragraph- subcon. Snatcher.

I legitimately do not understand why some people hate snatcher so much. And I also cannot understand why some people will specifically target snatcher fans at times.

Snatcher is a big comfort character for a lot of people. Wether its for personal reasons (ex- mine is because of my own past dealing with abuse and trauma), or if its just because they make someone happy.

Snatcher is a comfort character, and the whole story surrounding subcon is so so interesting and fun to explore? And so what if people enjoy it? I can understand that it can get frustrating seeing so much of it, especially if you like something else, but that is no reason to target snatcher fans (or.. Any fans in general) and/or make people feel bad for having fun.

Fuck, thats how you make people leave the fandom entirely. I understand it can get frustrating, but just.. Try to be nicer? Try not to make people feel bad for having fun? Please?

And before anyone tells me "it's not about that!", i want to point out that I often see posts like "don't let the snatcher fans see this-" and other things along that.

If you want me to believe its not about that, prove it. Cause as far as i can tell, it certainly is.

(Also as a note- who cares is someones thirsty??? Like

Just block them and avoid if it bugs you so much?? It's not that hard dude)

-THIS PARAGRAPH MENTIONS PEDOPHILLIA, SKIP IF NEEDED-

Another serious thing to mention is the pedophilia in this fandom. Feel free to skip this part  if it makes you uncomfortable, but its something i need to talk about.

There are pedophiles in this fandom. Ive seen the art and the fics (no matter how many times i scrub my eyes, because its disgusting and horrible and just- eugh-). There are pedophiles here and its easy to come across them because they just.. Aren't afraid to post in main tags. People follow them. People support them. Granted, not everyone, and generally most people know to avoid em, but they're still there. They havent been kicked out or ostracized. And it disgusts me.

I know this whole paragraph could be argued that "that doesn't represent the fandom!" Or whatever but.. This is a younger audiences welcome game guys. Its advertised as 'the cutest 3d platformer!'. Kids can and do play this game.

There is pedophilia in this fandom, and i feel its important to mention.

-END OF PARAGRAPH-

Also, some people in this fandom just.. Suck. Plain and simple. Some people in this fandom are just genuine assholes. And said asshole just like harassing others and causing problems. There's a literal shit ton of drama and problems with this fandom, and honestly it's.. So dumb??

This is literally just a video game and people are just having fun. If there's a problem, treat it like a grown up and either ask the causes to stop and why, or block and move on. Simple.

Now lets move onto the good parts of this fandom, yeah?

First of all- there are some serious sweethearts and amazing people in this fandom. While there are some that suck, there are more that are actually just here for a good time and to make good content.

Ive met some of the nicest people ivs ever known thanks go this fandom. Ive created friends who I seriously consider family. And most people ive talked with or even just ran across have been pretty cool.

This fandom is also generally very welcoming to new people (minus the assholes), ive noticed. Some people get into it really easily just because eveyones generally friendly and supportive. Which is always great!

Also, the fanworks people in this fandom create. Can i just talk about how fucking talented people are??? Its pretty amazing to see how people create things for this fandom.

People will take the story that gears for breakfast showed and they'll run with it, and create these amazing au’s and stories and 'what ifs' from it. Its just.. So amazing to watch people use what we've been given just weaved it into something.

(And this isnt even going over the mods and the stories those create, which always amaze me.)

So with all that laid out, do i think the fandom good or bad?

...i think its both.

The fandom itself has some serious problems in it. It gets unnecessary drama nearly every other month or so for no reason. There are some truly disgusting people and some absolute assholes, but the majority of people are actually pleasant, fun to be around, and welcoming. As long as you be careful of who you follow and use critical thinking skills, its not so bad.

Im not going to lie to someone and say it's all honkey dory. In this fandom, you will inevitably interact with either a creep, an asshole, or both at some point. There is a likely chance that you will have your feelings hurt in some way in this fandom. Ive see it, ive heard about it, ive experienced it.

All that being said, if you curate your viewing, follow people that seem/are cool, and use the block feature (don't. Debate it, if youre unsure about someone just block em)... Its a very fun fandom filled with both heartfelt creations and memes, and has plenty of potential new friends.

So its both good and bad, yeah.

Tldr-

Fandom has lotsa issues but overall is fun, just make sure curate your experience for yourself and dont let what drama pops up or what assholes say get to you.

Symphogear S1- Now this is MY kind of anime!

Every once and awhile when I'd log onto Twitter, I'd see people saying "watch Symphogear" accompanied by images from the show. From looking at the pictures, I assumed it was just another magical girl show like Precure but with less magic and more... techno. Oh, and apparently they sing while they fight? Sounds kinda dumb...

Buuuut... I have heard that there's some yuri content? Maybe I'll give it a try. I mean, I'm always open to watching new stuff, even if it's just a silly little kid's show 😅

😳

Well........ color me hooked.

I have to say, this show is not at all what I was expecting in the best possible way. It feels a lot more like a Shounen action show along the lines of Fullmetal Alchemist or Neon Genesis Evangelion than a Magical Girl show (if that's even what it's supposed to be). Today, I'm going to be giving my first impressions of Senki Zesshou Symphogear season 1, which will be spoiler free for anyone who hasn't seen it yet.

Plot:

So what is Senki Zesshou Symphogear about?

In the not too distant future (next Sunday A.D.), Japan is under attack by monsters known as Noises, the likes of which cannot be killed by military weapons. The only thing that can kill them are girls clad in weaponized armor known as Gears, which is activated and powered by singing catchy techno-pop music.

One day, a girl named Hibiki Tachibana is caught in the middle of a battle, and one of the Gear users, Kanade Amou, sacrifices herself to save her. Two years later, Hibiki discovers that a piece of Kanade's Gear was embedded in her chest during the fight, giving her access to the Gear's powers. Hibiki is recruited by the Disaster Relief Squadron, the organization that created the Gears, to help defend Japan from the Noises.

However, Kanade's former girlfriend partner, Tsubasa Kazanari, sees Hibiki as nothing more than an obnoxious, naive girl trying to be Kanade's replacement. Will the two learn to work together, defeat the Noises, and possibly uncover a deeper plot to all the attacks?

Symphogear's plot might not be the most original thing ever; evil monsters attack, teenage girls transform into superpowered warriors to fight them, evil mastermind tries to take over the world, etc. But what makes this story stand out is it's unique approach to the fights. Having the Gears be powered by music, resulting in every fight being accompanied by a song, is either a genius way to amplify the fights, or a genius way for the producers to sell a techno soundtrack.

I was worried that the constant use of insert songs would become repetitive and annoying, but on the contrary, they heightened my enjoyment! The fights in Symphogear are easily my favorite part of the show: fast-paced, badass powers, lots of screaming, and downright brutal at times! Hibiki has officially joined the ranks of my all-time favorite battle cries, right up there with Goku from DBZ and Souma from Kannazuki no Miko.

If there was one thing I had to nitpick, it would be that most of the fights take away the credibility of the Noises. They're supposed to be this terrifying threat to Japan that can't be harmed by the military, but as soon as the Gear wielders show up, they're reduced to nothing more than cannon fodder as Hibiki and her comrades seem to waltz through them without breaking a sweat.

Thankfully, the versus matches between Gear wielders are much more balanced. My favorite has to be Hibiki vs Chris (see above), but then again, any fight with Chris is an absolute win!

Characters:

Hibiki Tachibana

Hibiki is your typical genki girl protagonist: optimistic, hyperactive, naive, and pure. What makes her a more compelling hero, however, is her slow growth into becoming a strong Gear wielder. Unlike most magical girl protagonists, who seem to master their powers after one line of "EH?! What just happened to me?!", Hibiki takes time to learn how to fight. She starts out with the mindset that she has to be Kanade's replacement and thus tries to fight just like her. However, she eventually comes to invent her own battle tactics that work much more in her favor. Mainly, punching the everloving shit out of everything in sight.

Hibiki is, in my opinion, a flat character done right. She doesn't go through any personal growth or development throughout the show (learning to fight doesn't count), but her belief that all humans can get along if they communicate and desire to protect people just because she wants to is the cause for most of the change in the people around her. The world is in a dark place, and Hibiki is the light. She doesn't need to change, because she's exactly what the world needs.

Tsubasa Kazanari

From what I've learned, Tsubasa is a favorite amongst Symphogear fans. Me personally, though, I have a few issues with her character. Now, I have nothing against brooding, damaged characters. In fact, Tsubasa's recovery from Kanade's death and learning to cherish her own life was incredibly engaging... for the most part. Sorry, but I can only take so much edge. Her constant repitition of "I am a sword, I exist only to fight" grew old after the first 10 or so times.

Also, while I love her overall development, I feel that her acceptance of Hibiki was a little rushed. For the first four episodes, she hates Hibiki for carrying Kanade's Gear to the point where she tries to fight her to the death. Then, after another fight sends her into a coma, she has a (extremely gay) hallucination of Kanade telling her to get over herself. Next episode, she's treating Hibiki as if they've been friends the whole time. Did I miss something? Did Hibiki even apologize for saying she wanted to replace Kanade? Did Tsubasa apologize for trying to shishkabob her?!

Development aside, her fighting style is awesome and unique, and leads to the best choreography in the show. Hopefully as I watch more seasons, my opinion of her will improve.

Chris Yukine

Best Girl. No questions. Anyone who disagrees is wrong. Deal with it.

Jokes aside, Chris is my favorite character of the show bar none. Maybe I just have a weakness for evil-turned-good characters, but I adored her "don't take no shit from nobody" attitude and her soft side emerging as the show progressed. And let me tell you, Tsubasa would have no right to brood if she knew what Chris went through as a child. I won't give anything away, but just a few brief images and harsh words were enough get the picture across and tug at my heartstrings.

She also had my favorite Gear and fighting style in the show. If there's one thing that always gets my blood pumping, it's gatling guns and an endless supply of missiles. Seriously, I could watch this girl fight for hours.

Kanade Amou

A moment of silence, ladies and gentlemen.

......

Kanade would be my favorite character if we had gotten more of her. But alas, she has to die in the very first episode. DAMN YOU, PLOT!!!

Even though we get very little of Kanade, she makes it her mission to leave a lasting impression. Her sacrifice at the beginning sets the tone for the rest of the show, and her flashback is the best of the bunch. I got hard chills when she transformed for the first time. Let's just say she's psychotic in all the right ways.

Kanade died for our sins. Remember that... 🙏

Finé

Our main villain of the show. That's it. There's really nothing much else to her. She's cruel, manipulative, and powerful beyond belief, as most big bosses of these kinds of shows are. She was honestly my least favorite part of the show.

Fine's motivation is incredibly confusing on first watch. I had to go back to pause and read the subtitles multiple times to understand her backstory, but maybe that's my fault for being a slow reader. On the other hand, the explanation as to who she is and why she's so powerful comes right out of nowhere and doesn't seem to connect to anything the story had been building up to that point. Also, by the time I understood her motivation and actually found it a little intriguing, she dropped the dreaded "I'm going to take over the world" line. Aaaaand.... all my interest just went out the window.

There is a twist involving her connection to a certain other character in the show that I genuinely didn't see coming, but in the end, it wasn't nearly enough to make up for her shortcomings.

Miku Kohinata

God bless this little angel. Miku is a precious cinnamon roll who must be protected at all costs. Thankfully, Hibiki's got it covered 👍

Words cannot express how much I love this girl. She may be only a supporting role for the time being, but good lord, does she support! It always broke my heart whenever she tried to spend time with Hibiki or talk to her, but the Disaster Relief Squad kept pulling them apart. I know DRS is classified, but Miku deserves better than to have secrets kept from her! Life sucks when your girlfriend best friend is a superhero...

Well, that was a mouthful. There's a lot more characters in this show, but I don't really have much to say about them. However, while we're on the subject of Miku, let's move on to the reason I checked this show out in the first place, and the reason I'm sure most of you read my stuff.

Yuri:

No sooner did I finish this show did I start looking up HibiMiku fanart 😍

I was expecting a fair dosage of yuribait going into Symphogear, but mother of all that is gay, did I get an overdose!

First and foremost, the main ship: HibiMiku. These two are dating. Nothing anyone says will change my mind. They compliment each other perfectly, with Hibiki's energy and Miku's sweetness... HHNNNGGH! IT'S TOO PRECIOUS! I sincerely hope these two get more time together in the next few seasons. Now if only they'd stop with the damn F word...... 😡

Next up, TsubaKana. This one seems more like it was one-sided feelings on Tsubasa's part, judging by how dedicated Kanade was to fighting the Noise. Regardless, you don't just lose all sense of your humanity and self-worth after your "partner" dies. And all that hardcore blushing in the flashbacks and naked cuddling dream sequences... nah, Tsubasa was hella hot for Kanade. Sadly, our lord and savior was taken from Ms. Brooding too soon.

Finally, there's Ryoko Sakurai, the DRS's head scientist. She was initially hinted to be gay, what with her being all too eager to have Hibiki undress and wanting to "pop her cherry" (yes, an adult said that to a 15 year-old). However, after a certain conversation occurred, it seemed more like she was straight or at least bisexual, if all that dirty talk wasn't just teasing.

I've heard future seasons introduce more potential couples, so I'm keeping my eyes open and my yuri goggles on tight 😋

Conclusion:

I enjoyed the first season of Senki Zesshou Symphogear through and through. As someone who enjoyed Akanesasu Shoujo and Magical Girl Spec-Ops Asuka, I have a soft spot for shows about badass girls kicking monster ass and unleashing their inner yuri. Overall though, I think Symphogear might be my favorite of the bunch so far. It has its fair share of flaws, sure, but I think its positives outweigh the negatives by a long shot. If I got this much enjoyment out of the first season, I cannot wait to see what the following seasons have to offer!

Symphogear delivers a fun, action-packed story with colorful characters, kickass fight scenes, head-banging music and plenty of yuri content. Anyone who loves Magical Girls or Shounen battle shows needs to check it out!

Rating: 8/10

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go binge Symphogear G. See you next time, my fellow yuri lovers!

"Woah, all that?" Tanba first replies, eyes widened a bit, a hand placed over his mouth, "You had one awful father there if he did all that. I can't understand the ways some people torture their children-- people like that don't deserve to live." Listening to Sylvia, Tanba felt a pang of anger in his heart, of disgust, the latter which he didn't feel very often. Disgust not at Sylvia, naturally, but at her father, after hearing how they treated her. It sounded like there was even more that happened to Sylvia, too, going off what she said, but hearing what little bit he did here was enough to grind Tanba's gears, both because he hated the idea of ANYONE being so cruel to Sylvia and because her father's actions reminded him a whole lot of his own father's. The abuse, physical and emotional, the neglect, the unbridled torture, it may have been in different forms and with different ends in mind, but Tanba felt like he knew all too well the things Sylvia had gone through, and it left him feeling nothing but true disdain for her father.

It did irk Tanba too that, at least initially, his dream mirrored that of Sylvia's father's in her eyes, so he felt it was necessary to clear the air on that a bit. "I can't really blame you for likening your father's goal to mine; I didn't really elaborate too much on it did I? Let me change that!" Tanba claps his hands, and instantly, a small group of crows comes flying into view, all of them helping to carry a large piece of paper that they then somehow attach to a nearby wall. One of the crows, carrying a pen in its mouth, flies over to Tanba and drops the tool in his hand, and after this he walks over to the paper that had been set up and starts drawing.

"Ruling the world isn't all there is to my goal, there's a few layers to it; firstly, I'd rule the world, rule humanity, but Shinobi would be at the top of the food chain with me." With the pen, Tanba gestures to some badly drawn figures who were supposed to be shinobi, with an even worse drawn version of himself above them. "I'd be resurrecting all my former Iga friends with the Grail, all my former vassals, maybe even some Shinobi from the Koga, too." A big maybe on that last part-- Tanba was still debating on whether or not he wanted to resurrect Mochizuki Chiyome just to gloat in front of them. "I wouldn't be changing much of the world or humanity apart from elevating myself and Shinobi in general above everyone else."

Tanba goes on to draw a poor representation of that Ruler Servant he and Sylvia encountered before, the one who had been masquerading as a Church priest, and then points at the drawing as he continues, "I know some people would use the Grail to wipe out all evil from the world or bring total peace or something cliche like that, like our friend right here, but not me. Forcing humanity to be good, forcing them to be peaceful, taking away their freedom to choose between good and evil, that would be taking away what makes them human in the first place, and I'm having none of that." Tanba wanted to see himself as ruler of humanity in its entirety, its good and bad, and if that meant he ruled over an ultimately imperfect world then so be it-- not only would it be more interesting that way, it would be the right way, in his opinion.

Tanba then begins to purposefully try and draw a very, very insulting picture of a certain Demonic Archer servant, one Sylvia likely never saw before but who she would soon become aware of when Tanba cheerfully declares, "Oh yeah and somewhere in-between all that I'm going to resurrect Nobunaga with the Grail and then viciously murder them! Maybe I'll resurrect some of Nobunaga's loved ones too so they can watch it happen, that'd be real juicy." Because why not inflict as much suffering as possible on Nobunaga and everyone they cared about? "But that's the whole dream of mine, wayyyy better than whatever your father's trying to go for!"

Tanba pauses for a moment, mouth agape, before turning away from his collection of terrible artwork and asking, in a still cheery though noticeably surprised tone, "Oh oh oh, wait, before I started talking, did you say your father is involved in THIS war? As in he's still alive? You didn't kill them after everything they did?"

Sylvia’s gaze levels with his. He doesn’t know just why he had it in him to apologize either. It was as he said- he’d never say sorry for a life taken, feel guilt, feel shame for anything that he had ever done in his life. So why was he, genuinely, trying to level with her now? What had changed in him?

“That is true, and I won’t take this for granted you know…” Sylvia responds slowly, her gaze lowering again. Here it remains on her folded hands. The thump of her heart rings in her ears and slowly, she realizes she’s almost endeared by the way he was acting. Who would have believed he’d ever own up to his mistakes with her? “An apology from you should be treated like a treasure.” She jests with good nature. 

Only after this, and his own asked explanation, does Sylvia finally lean back in her chair. It’s difficult to mull over the weight of her feelings and what she perceived as the possibility of trauma rearing its ugly head at that time. It wasn’t his fault, not entirely, but the reminder was there.

“It’s a long story.” Sylvia admits, her hands finally unballing. It’s here she allows her right to run through her hair as if to soothe herself. “But for now, I believe all we have is time, so I hope you don’t mind if I drone on.” 

Sylvia would have rather not explain all of the wounds her father left on her heart. He deserved the explanation, but she found it difficult to know where to start. Did she speak of her entire life or simply what had triggered her feelings? There was a wealth of her past he did not know of and for the time they would be with each other, Sylvia didn’t want him to know. 

Funny that, how all worked out. She had to tell him…

“My father was not a particular mage of any great standing,” she starts slowly, folding her arms over her chest as if to guard herself from the memory of him, “but he wished to be, and in that, the obsession to become something far more consumed his life. However, during his own grail war and loss of the servant who saved him, he realized that he’d reached the peak of his own potential. In the end, he wished to pass his legacy onto a stronger mage, a stronger child, and so, I was born.” 

It’s here she pauses again, shrugging her shoulders slightly in thought. She was not at all impressive, a weak mage by her own merit, weaker still when she was being raised by her parents. What more could she have said to explain her feelings to him? All too little and all too much.

“I wasn’t at all what he imagined. From what I was told, I was born fairly sickly and reasonably, if I were not to survive, they’d simply try again. But I managed, and so I was what my father had to work with.” ‘Work with’ was something of an extreme, she realized, one thing she hated most. “He took many short cuts when it came to my training; nothing was off the table. I don’t know how many artificial circuits he placed within my body simply to fit his standards.” Another pause, a sigh leaves her and she has to hand wave away the memories. “Well, putting it bluntly, there’s a lot of things he did that I can’t lay out for you all in one story,” she explains then, raising her gaze once more to look at him, “the reason why I reacted the way I did, Tanba, was because your wish resembled him in such a way, in that moment, I had lost sight of you and only saw him.” Sylvia was ashamed to admit it, her eyebrows knitting together slightly, emotion caught in her throat as she swallowed. “My fathers wish, why he is once again participating in this war- to destroy humanity and create a world of mages that he will rule over. In all his inadequacy and my failures to carry on his legacy, he has grown to believe he can simply rebuild our world and rule over it as a god.”

It's kind of sad how beautiful the concept art/scrapped art is but in comparison to the actual game,, the game is toned down?? Don't get me wrong I love the game but it seems Disney really limits itself in its own creativity by toning it down for no reason? I'd like to hear your opinion on this, love your blog BTW!!! Have a nice one✌

While there is a lot of stuff that could have been used and a lot of missed opportunities, I have to disagree on this one. Disney didn’t “limit itself”

The problem with the Epic Mickey franchise isn’t that they were “limited” as Disney gave Junction Point a lot more free reign than most other companies they’ve worked with. It’s that they started off drawing more than they could actually handle, and then the artwork got leaked, even though it clearly wasn’t going to be the final product. They ended up having to make a lot of changes, but kept showing the public their unfinished work, setting people’s expectations ahead of time.

By leaking the artwork, the fans who don’t understand that concept art usually doesn’t make the final cut, began whining about them “toning it down” when their darker artwork was nothing more than an experiment while the developers were still trying to decide what angle they wanted to go with for the game. Heck, a lot of it was leaked before Warren Spector found out making Oswald a villain was a terrible idea!

…not that the Disney company should have had to have told him…it should have been obvious Oswald should never be a villain…

(cough COUGH)

As explained in The Art of Epic Mickey (beautiful book, BTW, highly recommend it) they decided to go with a more toon-like Wasteland rather than the hardcore steampunk dystopia angle they originally considered, because they still wanted it to feel like a Disney universe, and the steampunk dystopia didn’t feel Disney-like at all.

Also, on this blog, for the most part I’ve been showing you the good ideas from the concept art. If you look at all the concept art, there’s a lot of stuff we should be HAPPY didn’t make it into the game. They were going to make Mickey look like an edgy angry teenager at one point:

Yeah. That was going to be Mickey…making dramatic Shadow the Hedgehog poses. (”Where is that D*** Rocket Gear?!”)

CGI is a much more difficult process than 2-D purists make it out to be. Many of the animatronic ideas were nearly impossible to model, let alone animate, and would have delayed the game by several years trying to make. Some of them wouldn’t have been able to do much, such as the “lifters”

Oh no….they’re picking Mickey up…..and looking at their models, that’s all they can do….pick things up….they can’t even throw… in fairness they did make a model that would have worked much better, but it still looks too slow to be a real threat.

And then there’s this thing:

That’s just overkill. To anyone who’s ever rendered anything in 3-D: Can you imagine having to spend days making this thing, and then having to rig and animate it? It’s a nightmare, and was scrapped for a reason. And you know, I used to think this thing looked scary, but looking at it now, it’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen. Mickey could probably just spin by it, and it would fall over and be unable to get back up.

The point I’m trying to make is it’s unfair to judge a game’s progress by it’s concept art. Concept art rarely makes the final cut, and usually is made in the earliest experimentation stages of the project. There’s a lot that goes on behind the scenes we don’t know about. Most of these decisions weren’t made by Walt Disney, but by Junction Point themselves.

Now, if you want to blame Disney for not giving them enough time to fully work on Epic Mickey 2 while overhyping the game more than they hyped the first one, then yeah, I’d agree Disney screwed up, there…although Junction Point did try way too hard to pander to the crowd…and by crowd I mean “the people complaining about the first game over every little detail”
