#im really grasping at straws now lol

[eleccy]

if magnifi gramarye was diabetic at the end of his life, it’s possible that thalassa, trucy, and apollo could all be at risk as well. it’s never stated if magnifi’s diabetes was the acquired type or the genetic type. but if it was genetic, then his other relatives should definitely be monitoring and taking steps to prevent symptoms.

i mean... phoenix knew about magnifi’s diabetes too. thalassa and trucy, at least, probably know about their risk, but apollo? do you think apollo ever picks up a sugary snack and...

phoenix: “hold up apollo! don’t eat that!”

apollo: “??? mr. wright??”

phoenix: “uh, um, i’m saving them, for the clients, you know...”

apollo: “you just had five of them an hour ago. i saw you. plus how come athena can have them too”

phoenix: “UH UM you want to save some room for dinner right?”

phoenix can just never explain why he knows that apollo is at risk of becoming diabetic. he just always has to carry around an insulin shot for the day when apollo finally passes out and phoenix has to be like “ALL RIGHT EVERYBODY STAND BACK I KNOW WHAT TO DO”

and when apollo wakes up in the hospital and he’s like “wtf how did you know what to do???” and phoenix has to be like “well, ummm... i guess it’s time for a talk”

ok actually yeah. i really need to do dishes and go to bed and not stay up late mentalillnessposting a little too viscerally on tumblr the night before i facilitate a workshop in front of the literal president of the university and the vp of my division (LOL about that btw. actively shitting my pants.) but oh my GOD. so saying goodbye to lia was actually fine in the moment. neither of us cried and we talked about all the ways we’ll still be in each others lives and reasons we’ll have to interact in the near future. and she gave me an extremely heartfelt thoughtful gift and we left on a very hopeful note and i felt better and content bc there’s still the rest-of-life and we’ll see each other there. but like an hour before that as i mentioned i was HYSTERICALLY sobbing. in full view of people i know AND people i don’t. and i just sat there and sobbed while everything carried on around me. everything carried on around me!!! and i feel like im about to sob again thinking about it.

[voxisdaddy]

after hours of punishing vox and edging him and stuff he’s so deep in subspace he just begs you to praise him 😕😕 i just love the idea of his bratty walls coming down and just wanting the readers approval, like being all weepy about it!! he puts up with so much shit (and gives out the same energy) for so long all day that he just wants his mommy to be nice to him 😔 mmfph subby vox just 😍😍

Tender

THANK YOU ANON I just wanna care for this lil needy brat so badly I swear <3 also I like how my name is VoxisDaddy and yet every time I write him in a sexual context, he's a subby bottom and occasional pervert lol

Fandom: Hazbin Hotel

Pairing: Vox x Reader

Type: Headcanons + kinda rambly | Fluff

C/TW: Suggestive content, marking this 18+ because of it, needy Vox, tears, mommy kink, fluffy aftercare, sub!Vox x Dom!Reader, reader implied as fem im sorry :c

In which after hours of endless (pleasurable) torture, all Vox wants is his mommy's sweetest affections <3

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ Whatever the fuck it is he did to deserve this overwhelming pleasure he's already long forgotten about. Poor baby's too fucked dumb :c

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ Once you finally detached yourself from him, his legs fall limp against the bed, quivering. You could poke or accidentally graze his thigh and his legs would twitch rather suddenly. "Mommy" falling from his lips in short mumbles

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ He would so panic when you get up to leave, reaching a clawed hand out to grasp at your arm desperately. He'd softly tug on your arm as he babbles almost incoherently

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ You swear you can hear something about "mommy" in there somewhere—which is new. He normally used that term during or leading up to it, never after

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ Though perhaps by now you already understand what he wants since this is likely not your first rodeo like this. Gently you'd pry his hand off of you and he wouldn't put up much of a fight sine he doesn't wanna accidentally scratch you. He'd look up at you pleadingly though; don't leave him :c

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ You'd have to reassure him and kiss his knuckles softly. Saying something like—"I'm just gonna go get something to clean you up baby, I'll be right back." No longer than a few moments do you come back with a damp rag and carefully run it over his quivering thighs and the surrounding area. He lets you do this, his gaze never leaving you

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ Once he's all cleaned up and not feeling so sticky anymore this man will absolutely not let you leave

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ He's actually so fucking clingy, muttering into your skin about how good you made him feel and if he did a good job—asking if he's forgiven for being such a brat

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ Maybe you'd contemplate this just to be a bit mean cuz he's really been unnecessarily rude lately, today being the final straw, but looking at him all clingy, teary eyed, and desperate for your love you can only sigh; "You did so good for me baby. So much self control."

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ The lights in the city didn't shut off too early this time :D

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ I feel like in his fucked dumb foggy brain, he'd silently beg to suck on your tit. Being the good boy he is, he waits for permission and goes for it—whimpers softly at your quiet praises

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ Ngl I kinda see the clinging seeping over to the next day

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ Like you'd be sitting on the couch sipping on your morning drink and Vox would walk over in more comfortable clothing. You'd raise a brow—he usually heads to work as soon as possible, what the hell is he still doing here? He'd wave you off, giving some kind of excuse then sitting on the floor in between your legs, resting against you as you watch tv. his arms resting on your thighs as he sits back and relaxes his sore af body

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ Either takes the rest of the day off and follows you around like a lost puppy or practically clings to you as he sits in his office chair working-or maybe on your lap while you hug him from behind

𓈒ㅤׂㅤ𐙚 ࣪ ⭒ This last one is just a personal funny thing I'm picturing and it's Vox being in a noticeably good mood that day and just giving his assistant a random ass pay bonus. Side eyeing you to see if you noticed his generosity lmao

IM SO FUCKING SORRY THIS TOOK LIKE A WEEK AND A HALF TO COME OUT ANON SVAOVBNO

Sometimes my posts get shadowbanned, I'd really appreciate it if you not only liked but also reblogged <3 no pressure, just a thought!!

[melissa-titanium]

could actually genuinely watch this fucking scene over and over again its SO well animated & if you actually hear it and the dialogue without context its fucking hilarious like why is this kid losing his fucking mind over being told hes cool and normal . but its just so fucking good. i genuinely cant say i have a firm grasp on his character enough to properly analyze this scene with confidence but god its just. its so good. its SO GOOD. remembering shigeo when he was little being the last straw as well. fuckkkkk. kid whos been the perfect son perfect brother with perfect grades ever since the incident because he fully and sincerely believes if he lets that facade slip. if he lets his brother get upset. even for a second. he's putting himself and others into incredible danger. because unlike his brother, he has no special abilities of his own he cant defend himself. and hes THIRTEEN he has to manage that weight on his shoulders with no help from anyone else.

then. something something. after so long of hoping hoping hoping to get those abilities, putting himself in a position he despises just to make up for his perceived lack of self defense, he just. gets powers. powers that were supposedly lying dormant within him all his life. do you know how that must have felt? all of that festering, all of that fear was for NOTHING? i think. augh i dont have my thoughts about him cohesive enough to fucking say anything but just like. i dont know. ive seen one or two people be like LOL ritsu so overdramaticccccc in cleanup arc like NO dude when i was 13 i did something kinda similar i get him. i get him . my freakass little brother. thats just what it feels like. having to pack away such a traumatic event? something he experienced as a kid . must have been so much bigger in his eyes now. when youre small EVERYTHING is big to you. and he never quite grew out of seeing what shige did to him as something monumentally terrifyingly BIG. and it just festered and festered and festered and. i dont know. going way too deep into this rn but after building up SO. MUCH. RAGE. and all it comes out as is something arguably like. meager? it makes you fucking lose your absolute shit. i dont know if im making sense its 1 am bare with me dude. i really like ritsu i really like ritsu i think hes cool i GET him i promise i do i just cant articulate my thoughts on him. agggggggggggggh

[catgirlsp0ck]

still playing persona 3 for the first time (im playing reload). im on nov 9 and i wanna make some predictions !! so under the cut is me speculating on some shit thats going on so far :D i don't expect to be right about it all but i just wanna be able to come back to this post and see if i was right about some of it or if i was totally wrong lol (also, this has spoilers for some major stuff leading up to november !!)

ok, so im on nov 9 and just met a new character named ryoji. now, ryoji looks suspiciously like pharos (the little boy who we met during the dark hour before each boss basically).

like, they have the same mole, eyes, eyebrows and same VA. i think its kinda obvious that they're the same person, especially when ryoji is saying shit like this:

but that isn't what i wanted to make this post about. im thinking that because pharos' social link was the death tarot, maybe him becoming ryoji is what ikutski was trying to do. idk how to explain it that well but hear me out lol. i think that ryoji is what's going to bring about "the fall." i think that defeating the 12 shadows (and maybe also the "sacrifice" of ikutski and mitsuru's father) is what transformed pharos into ryoji. everytime we see pharos, hes wearing an outfit that looks like something a prisoner would wear. maybe the existence of the 12 shadows was making it so he couldn't use his full powers or some shit, akin to being imprisoned and them being defeated unleashed him. the last time we see him, he says he remembers what he has to do and that he has a duty to fulfill. not chained back by the shadows anymore, he was able to become ryoji and possibly try to bring about the fall? im not sure if im getting this right lol but thats what im thinking. and i think that while she might not fully remember it, aigis might have some kind of knowledge about this bc of how she reacts to ryoji when he first joins the class:

she knows something about him but i don't think she fully remembers what it is. an interesting thing i saw in the dictionary tab is this:

"it's birth was already intended to happen once, ten years ago." aigis was made 10 years ago and also maybe im reaching for this but pharos looks to be around 10 years old or so when we meet him. he is the death tarot, and this dictionary thing is under the term "death." aigis being made around that time could be why she thinks that ryoji is dangerous, maybe she sees the resemblance between pharos and ryoji? idk if im right or if im grasping at straws but i just had to rant about what im thinking so far !! im really excited to see where this all leads. (pls if anyone actually is reading this shitty post, no spoilers 🙏🙏)

[vivisols]

digital circus 👀👀 any theories?

I HAVE SO MANY...

specifically about this shot... this shot has a lot to me!

we get this shot of the spinning objects during the "day after day" part of the intro

theres a teapot, old record player/gramophone/whatEVER its called, flower pot (which we see start clipping through the stage), an eye, a pure white sphere and a pyramid!

maybe im reaching but i think these items represent each of the cast.. how so you may ask? WELL! (under the cut)

the eye is clearly caines since hes the ONLY guy in the show to have green eyes. also he has hundreds of all seeing eyes (as he himself said) so thats obvious. and yeah the other objects representing the other cast seems a little far fetched but it makes sense to MEE….

as for the teapot... we see those EXACT teapots during the trip both to and back from the funny dev room. now tech wise the teapot actually has a bit of history LMAO.. the teapot model is known as the utah teapot and is one of the first ever models created using bezier curves! it was made in 1975 and is typically considered a test model for rendering/testing how lighting reacts to complex curved models the only character we EVER see interact with the teapots/get tied to the teapots is pomni. so i think its safe to say the utah teapot is representing pomni! ALSO. CAINES EYE IS INTENTLY FOCUSED ON IT. could be because she's causing a whole bunch of glitches in the system…

the gramophone is interesting especially to me. i mean its REALLY detailed. like that would be polygons GALORE. unlike the utah teapot. all the promo for the vinyl record they sell has caine using a normal record player and NOT a gramophone so… its not caines! now whose would it be? im gonna go out on a limb and say its kingers. IT MAKES SENSE TO ME OK. kinger has been in the circus the longest and the other items in the circle are a LOT simpler. like a LOT a lot. it makes me think that as time goes on the computers strength/power is deteriorating which is evident by all the glitches/collision issues in both the pilot/episode 2.

ALSO IN THE TEASER WE SAW FOR THE EPISODE WHERE KINGER HAS A SHOTGUN HE'S IN A DARK ROOM WITH DIM GREEN LIGHTING

WHICH WE ONLY SEE AGAIN FOR THE TAPE RECORDER THING

AND IT KIND OF HAS A CONNECTION WITH RETRO TECHNOLOGY??? man idk LMAO this is probably the most straw grasping ive ever done. like theyre probably not in the same episode if im being realistic….

the gramophone could also be gangles object bc gangle is like. comedy and tragedy mask. and something something theater music gramophone i DONT KNOW ☠️

the flower pot is probably ragathas. she has the most blue on her after all + shes pretty sweet. now thats a very surface level connection BUT WE HAVENT EXACTLY SEEN IT AGAIN YET so… nothing else i can add really…. im trying ok LOL

now the pyramid is obviously representing zooble. i mean. they have triangle head… and pyramid is triangle….. IN THEIR ROOM TEASER WITH THEIR PIN THEY LITERALLY HAVE ONE...

ALSO THE PYRAMID IS ONLY OTHER GREEN THING BESIDES LEAVES OF THE FLOWER POT AND CAINES EYE. AND ZOOBLE IS THE ONLY CHARACTER TO HAVE ANY SORT OF GREEN ON THEM. even if it's more cyan/teal…. listen i can hope 😭😭😭😭

now the white ball is ESPECIALLY INTERESTING TO ME. BECAUSE ITS SO NONDESCRIPT. it could be gangle OR jax or even kinger if i misattributed the gramophone…. personally i think its gangles because her masks are #fffff white like the ball is…

and what if i went feral and said this was fuel for the "one of them is an NPC" theory…. BC LIKE. WHOEVER THE WHITE SPHERE IS. WOULD BE A REAL PERSON. WHILE WHOEVER DOESNT HAVE AN OBJECT IS THE NPC. NOT TO MENTION THE LAST SUPPER IMAGERY AT THE END OF THE PILOT.

and yeah nothing here really represents jax that i can think of though maybe it will more obvious in later episodes... soooo YEAH shoutout to the "jax is an NPC" theorists.

honestly whats most likely is that everyone has an object except for pomni because she just got there LMAO 🤕 i mean caine doesnt acknowledge her arrival until AFTER she fucks up the intro….

not to mention that kaufmo had been abstracted presumably the WHOLE day and wasnt in the intro so maybe his object wasnt there because he wasnt there… yeah this whole shot probably means nothing and im just yapping about nothing xDDD

[hearted-anon]

okay!!! sorry in advance because i am going to be sending you a LOT of messages (im definitely not gonna solve this in one night) but i deeply want to unravel the mystery here- so im gonna spitfire what i think i got so far!

SO- i think this is based on The SCP Foundation? ill be honest- im not really well versed in it so im sorry for that- but those are just the vibes that im getting.

i am almost CERTAIN 310 is chan: parental figure, cute little giggles, overprotective.

i also think 159 is felix: the blonde hair and blue eyes are immediately what got me thinking this-but i also i think felix is the most “innocent” looking one? so i think it makes sense.

here’s where i kinda start grasping at straws.

subject 811 and 28 are who i assume to be minho and han- two cuties who are attached at the hip and need to see each other all the time. question is, who’s who? well, i think 28 is han. not liking to be alone, getting kinda moody sometimes. whereas minho is 811, he’s just trying to chill on his own- leave him alone.

now…we’re going into my little mind assumption land for a second- because the line “his hatred for humans” got me thinking

sana wrote the alien au a while ago, i know, but changbin in that au always had a very deep hatred for humans. this may or may not be related at all- but i just wanna throw it out there just in case LMAO

but also, subject 203 is stated to have super long hair. and…whenever i think of long hair i think of hyunjin. so…it COULD be that too? maybe?

this is where im stumped, so im gonna leave it here for right now. sorry that its so long!!! i got really into it LOL! can’t wait for part 2 <3

-🍓

AHHH some of them are so close! but 811 and 28 aren’t minsung ;) and it’s not based of the SCP foundation!

but I really do love these little inferences you make, it makes me super super happy that people are actually looking into my AU and are willing to analyse it this far 😭

who do you think changbin is? I’m quite curious :D

thank you nonnie, this made my day 100x better, I’ll try to get the second part out as soon as possible!

[deusvervewrites]

Descendant x True Liberation: Perhaps we may be able to see the impossible world without racial discrimination against the Quirkless...

I remember seeing an ask about some of the spy AUs crossovered and in one battle they needed to stop fighting and figure out who is fighting for who, and i remember deducting they all effectively worked for nedzu at the end of the day. It was the most amusing shit and i dont know where the fuck it is so i could laugh at it again.

what could be the greatest combo of AUs to make the most pimped out support crew UA has never seen before them?

correct me if i'm wrong but did griffinguy24 get the singularity OfA at the entrance exam idea from your ask game or did he come up with the idea and that im grasping at straws when in reality it's a coincidence.

Public Knowledge x Profane Torch: this combo looks like a bad idea considering what started Public Knowledge, at the end of the day, the hero removed the secret part of the secret war between OfA and AfO and it does not matter if the roles swap ngl.

what would be the best combination of AU crossovers to make the most OP Izuku Midoriya?

HPSC President: i forgot he did it intentionally but the fact he managed to survive long enough to cleanse the corruption without losing like, 50% to 99% of his dignity amuses me more, or i forgot a line or two... regardless... Rescue Heroes deserve more love than they do in canon ngl, not every living and breathing person is going to be thrilled when the #1 hero just defeated the 9,542,105,281,691th villain over being thrilled about people getting rescued out of a desperate situation. And gloryhog heroes deserve to rot in a ditch then after hell for all i care.

Homeroom Teacher Torino x Homeroom Teacher Miruko x Longshot x UA University: Nedzu needed more professors to teach his students, so he challenges Miruko to be one, get Torino onboard as a teacher for UA once more, and bails Nagant out to both spite the HPSC and get another professor onboard. unless i missed something lol

Class Vill-A x HPSC President: Izuku manages to make contact with his fellow schoolmates in 1-A and convinces them to make himself as the president of HPSC, so they could get rid of the cringe-ass nae nae baby of a system with ease, and if he turns after all the power gets to him, they'll be the first ones to turn him in and 1-A all agrees with his plan. though if i missed a detail, this would only be an interesting but impossible thought.

All Future Time-Travel Fix Its + 8&9 in time crossover: it's a hodgepodge of chaos when they all collectively don't understand how when they want something gone like MLA it was taken down already by a Future someone who had more resources than the others. Then later on, they all arrive at a round table and begin to properly coordinate on what they should do instead of it being a race of who gets to do it first.

Eraser Midoriya x Equivalent Exchange: this combo is weird ngl but i want something out of it lol.

Descendant x True Liberation: That's the goal anyway!

This one

Good question. I don't think any of my AUs specifically upgrade the Support Department though

849 predates the Singularity AU by a good while, and both were predated by multiple fics with the premise of Midoriya being able to hear the vestiges early. The earliest one I've personally seen is Imaginary (started 2019) and another one which I cannot find now but also predates us both by a good while. (The one where the summary is the vestiges freaking out and one thinks the world is ending)

Public Knowledge x Profane Torch: Yeah that'd really suck for Midoriya huh

I'm not totally sure. Depends on your definition I guess. Others, Magical Romances, Tamama no Mom, and Star Spangled are all good starting points

HPSC President: Midoriya knows what he's doing >:3

Homeroom Teacher Torino x Homeroom Teacher Miruko x Longshot x UA University: Meh I'm sure Aizawa's fine

Class Vill-A x HPSC President: Seems like a decent enough scheme to me

Eraser Midoriya x Equivalent Exchange: Well considering how he got Erasure it has some, shall we say, implications

[emilystheories]

hey!! first off i just wanna say that your theories are literally getting me through school rn while we wait for cc3 lol

that being said, i was looking at your hunt-resurrection theory and noticed how you pointed out that the symbol for the dusk court could be the eight-pointed star. ive been rereading tog lately, and i noticed that during the yulemas celebration during the first book, the High Priestess had an "eight-pointer star … tattooed upon her brow in a shade of blue"

im not sure if youve seen this already (and with the amount of research you put into your theories, you probably have lol) but i just thought there could be sort of a connection there. im probably grasping at straws rn (january 30 could not come sooner), but idk i thought it was interesting lol

anyway sorry for the long ask!!! again, i love your theories (and may or may not riot if some of them arent true lol /hj)

Hi bestie !! This ask made my day - thank you so much! <3

I have noticed it, but you bringing it to my attention again has sent me spiralingggg! If I recall correctly (I don't have the books in front of me right now), the priestess with the eight-pointed star on her forehead was celebrating/worshipping the TOG gods.

Because of this... it really makes me wonder if the TOG gods are going to have a major part to play in the broader SJM multiverse? I have seen some people theorise that the Asteri could be the TOG gods (but to me, it seems as if the TOG gods have their own natural reserve of power, whereas the Asteri need to steal power? Though the details on this are vague...).

It's more of a crack theory (with many holes in it lmao), but I have wondered if some of the CC characters are the TOG gods (or connected in some way?) Hunt is repeatedly connected to Thurr (who was a god). In SJM's Pinterest for Ruhn, there were multiple pictures of a particular Celtic god. Then Bryce and Theia are connected (and Theia and Mala - a TOG god - share many similarities). Even Amren (with similar eyes to Deanna) gives me TOG god vibes.

And then with SJM drafting a book series called "Twilight of the Gods" (at the same time she drafted Crescent City), it makes me wonder if she has something up her sleeve regarding this...?

I guess we'll find out soon enough! Like you, I also can't wait for January 30, eeek !! :))

[deltaruminations]

OK so what i was actually up to looking through the samples (here's the actual comprehensive sheet) was verifying the use of Giygas soundfonts across UTDR. i should have done this in the music post in the first place but what can i say im not a respectable analyst im a fucking Gaster Guy for christ's sake (i'll be honest i totally forgot the sample sheet even existed until today)

so anyway:

in Deltarune so far, it looks like Giygas soundfonts are used only in ANOTHER HIM ("Giygas Static")

in Undertale, Giygas soundfonts are limited only to Amalgam ("Giygas Breath," "Giygas Static," "Giygas 3") and the Barrier ("Giygas Breath").

i don't think the Barrier sfx is relevant to anything i'm thinking about but i figured i should mention it for completeness. (i'm guessing it's a genuine instance of Yeah This Just Sounds Right For This Scene. even IF giygas samples are now "reserved" for whatever reason as of DR, that may not have been the case back then. it still may not be the case in the future!)

otherwise yeah, despite EB soundfonts being all over both games, Giygas soundfonts in particular are almost exclusively limited to ANOTHER HIM and Amalgam (which share the same "Giygas Static" soundfont, in fact). whether or not that constitutes a Connection or what that connection means is debatable but it does so far seem to be an intentional choice.

here are some other odds and ends from bouncing around the Music Zone today. these observations are pretty disjointed and probably not super interesting? i'm ambivalent about most of this as Worthwhile Data but i figure i might as well make note of it

mus_st_him.ogg uses the Chrono Trigger "piano." this isn't inherently super interesting. it's been identified in 3 other in-game UT tracks (Uwa!! So Temperate♫ ★, Reunited, Battle Against a True Hero) and one unused track (Bereavement). i don't think there's supposed to be like a pattern or anything there lol. many others have brought up Chrono Trigger more generally as a source of inspiration for tfox and raised the possibility of references to it (beyond music i mean) in Deltarune. given CT's frankly legendary status in RPG history it's not unthinkable to put it up on the Potentially Lore-Relevant Sound Design Choices pedestal alongside EarthBound but i don't wanna grasp too much at those straws right now lol

slightly more interesting is that this specific soundfont is only confirmed to be present once in Deltarune (so far), in ANOTHER HIM. given that this track is basically a straight up remix/re-imagining of mus_st_him.ogg it isn't really surprising that it uses the same soundfont, but i think it's a neat detail all the same.

also interesting is that the Chrono Trigger "piano" seems to be "reserved" now in DR, though none of the other Obviously Gastery Songs use it either. Darkness Falls uses Earthbound "Mellow Piano" (used one other time so far in that game, in Big Shot) and man.ogg uses SGM "Piano 3" (seemingly just an otherwise normal, all-purpose soundfont used in various places). honestly the CT piano might have just been brought back for that mus_st_him.ogg callback specifically and then shelved lol

oh except. the thing about "confirmed" instances. one of the sheet's contributors thinks it might be very quietly playing a countermelody around 0:33 in THE HOLY, which.......... veRY VERY INCHREsting,,,,, but also i don't want to get too invested in that if it hasn't been confirmed. it's pretty hard to hear but i can kind of detect something just before the choral voice kicks in again around 0:35. idk what to do with this honestly. i think the Man motif Possibly being used in THE HOLY is interesting enough without having to obsess this much over a tiny detail most people will never notice but w/e

Chrono Trigger soundfonts in general seem to be used much more sparingly in Deltarune. the "str" (string) is used in Powers Combined and ANOTHER HIM. moss_fanfare is composed entirely of 4 CT soundfonts for that nostalgic snes rpg achievement sound LOL. again i don't think this Means anything (probably just a stylistic/aesthetic choice more than anything.) just making a note of it

i also decided to double check for the G Sequence in Here We Are & Amalgam because why not. i haven't seen many claims thrown out about it around the Inter's Nets (at this point, i think if it were meaningfully present there'd be like 7 years' worth of duplicated Reddit posts about it lol) and yeah, i also don't hear it myself or really see it in any of the fanmade transcriptions i've found. Here We Are is clearly Alphy's motif more or less head to toe (which yeah. of course it is. true lab is About Her). Amalgam doesn't use any recognizable motifs as far as i can tell, which makes sense if we consider it's probably not supposed to sound familiar or grounded in the UT world (even in like a bad way), it's supposed to be completely alien and disorienting.

there are still some things about those songs that are rattling around my dome but given the fact that i'm Extremely Biased in favor of my own interpretations i'm worried about teetering too far into the Reading Into It Too Much Zone. idk why i'm so interested in this suddenly in the first place when we already have plenty of reasons to link G with the true lab (aside from him having been. u know. a royal scientist). i just really like these songs lmao

anyway noting this stuff for the sake of thoroughness but yeah i don't think it's worth thinking too hard on it tbh

Amalgam in particular is a pretty high-octane execution of the same techniques used in mus_st_him.ogg (lack of tonal center & resolution) but there kind of isn't any reason to get all weird about that, there are clear mechanical purposes to it. those techniques were used here because they elicit unease, tension, confusion, etc. and they're shared across both tracks because both tracks are intended to make us feel those ways, not because there's necessarily a thematic connection between them

i want so bad to make wild leaps about the parallel harmonies in both songs but again i think this is probably a disorientation tactic (makes it hard to distinguish the key) more than anything else

the piano the PIANO in Here We Are. the melody (sorry gonna butcher some Terms again here) from 0:45 - 1:28 is clearly (to my ear) riffing on Alphys's motif in the counter-melody but the shakeup from 1:28 onward, when the counter-melody ends, is. idk. nothing in that part of the fan arrangement i've been referencing seems to obviously match the Ideal progression of either the G Sequence or the Man variation and i'm not going to stretch too far on it. but yeah i think the idea of that bit being some form of G Piano is conceptually very interesting. it's just not really evident at this point as far as i'm concerned

as a note: Waltz of Seccom Masada predates Undertale's release by at least a year or two so it's not impossible that tfox could have had plans for it in UTDR by that point. do i think it's likely that it shows up at all in UT? no not really lol but it's not impossible i guess

Here We Are uses... the Mario Paint dog soundfont... I never would have noticed this otherwise but yeah you can hear it subtly barking under the 0:45-1:28 melody. i choose to interpret this as God bemoaning these crimes against his Creation

[around-clavius]

This has to be the most pathetic blog i’ve ever seen. do you think alex turner or the women he has dated want fans to be religiously following their personal lives?

Actually think about that, why doesn’t he have social media? why is he so private? perhaps have you considered respecting those boundaries rather than using time of your one life on earth creating a permanent record of the love lives of people you don’t know

It’s also just embarrassing since you grasping for straws trying to find a reason to hate Louise. Why do you feel the need to nitpick and call her annoying for really just existing? Like bro this is just some model you don’t know dating a singer you don’t know. News flash that they are probably irl kinda regular rich people doing rich people things.

I just don’t get it, many AM fans are women yet they seem to all exhibit similar levels of online misogyny you’d see among communities of straight men.

im not a woman lol but based take anon. this blog will continue to remain inactive but whenever i've logged into this account to look at other things i have peeked into my inbox to giggle at this ask but now i shall share it w everyone else.

KILLSHOT — H. SANZU

cw: nsfw MINORS DNI, dom!sanzu , angst, slapping, choking, exhibitionism, degradation, alcohol, mention of drugs (❄️), and sorta cheating? like not really but idk but NOT PROOFREAD

summary: sanzu's jealousy has finally pushed you over the edge. will a taste of his own medicine serve you well? or is the punishment that awaits you behind closed doors his killshot?

an: anon request! 💜this is long im rly sorry but this warranted a plot lol

games. god were you sick of his games. you had always known that sanzu had a tendency to err on the side of toxicity- it was something you had prepared yourself for and accepted as part of him long before the two of you started dating, but god was he really pushing it this time. it had been nearly a week of a slow build up of desperate calls for attention. side comments murmured beneath his breath, distracted conversations implanted perfectly by his psyche, distant touches paired with distant comments, and finally, what felt like your last straw. wandering hands, and lust-filled eyes. sanzu had dragged you to this club-- but why? was it only to make you jealous? to elicit any kind of reaction from you? nothing in your mind was able to piece together his goals, his motives, anything, and it was driving you irate.

with gritted teeth, your back turned on sanzu who's eyes had been locked on your reaction to his hands gently nested on the thin waist of one of the waitresses who seemed trapped by him-- locked into his grasp without much denial. whether she was afraid of him (which wouldn't be an unfair judgement to make) or she just wanted the tips she knew he could provide was beyond you. it's not that you cared- you could feel his eyes piercing through your skin in a desperate attempt to cause a scene, but you wouldn't. you wouldn't give in to him and provide him the pleasure he derived from seeing you uncontrollable and angry. instead, your attention began to focus on the men around you- some seated beside where you stood at the bar, others mingling about closer to the dance floor, and some planted against the wall scoping and scanning for their next target. surely you would teach him a lesson, you thought to yourself, allowing yourself into the headspace of just a few more shots that coated your throat with a combination of heat and confidence. you ignored the survey that sanzu was conducting on you, skimming a hand through your hair before turning to the dance floor to hunt out someone to play into the consequences of sanzu's actions. if he could do it, so could you.

these words repeated in your head as you allowed yourself to get lost in the crowd, bodies sweating and the floor sticky and rumbling beneath your feet, and sanzu suddenly keeping a close distance behind you. soon enough, you found yourself pressed back to chest with a stranger, one that you didn't bother to look at. hands travelled down your waist, but they weren't sanzu's. perfect, you thought to yourself, greedy with revenge and with little consideration of the lengths sanzu could go when he was set off. nothing mattered in that moment other than proving to him that his actions have consequences. and so, you found yourself swiftly flipped to face the blurry face who's arms now snaked down your back, rough hands reaching to cup your ass as sanzu watched from a few feet away, seething with a bubbling urge to intervene. he knew what you were doing, just as you knew what he was doing. but sanzu didn't have the composure you did. he couldn't just turn away and watch a stranger grope you, could he? stuck between clusters of sweaty bodies, his hands ached to rip you from his grasp but he just. couldn't. get. past. the. people. he was stuck, stuck shoving his way closer inch by inch until he finally reached where you stood, arms draped lazily over the man's shoulders. you were lost in the act, unaware of sanzu's proximity but wishing for nothing more than for him to watch you kiss the other, while your hand dragged down his chest and his tongue fought for dominance against your lips. just as the waitress had been your final straw, this was sanzu's. his eyes, clouded by a sour combination of alcohol and cocaine, quickly possessed an aura of rage that bled through his veins and seeped into his bones. pushing past the last cluster of people that separated him from the scene that made his blood boil, you felt his familiar hand grip a handful of hair at the back of your head, yanking you from the hold of the stranger before you and back against sanzu's chest. you yelped partly in pain, partly in surprise that it had taken him that long to react.

"dirt fucking slut" he spat, his free hand reaching to your neck with a grip that caught you off guard and pulled a gasp from your lungs. words could barely form on the tip of your tongue. what were you supposed to say, anyways? you had done it on purpose, but you forgot how shameless sanzu could be when he was triggered like this. "can't even answer me huh? too busy thinking about how badly you want him to fuck you?" his words, laced with hatred and met with the brush of his hot breath cut through your ears like a blade. and still, no words came. just a brief struggle to free yourself from his grip, desperate to see the expression that adorned his face. "you've got an audience now, you little bitch. is that what you wanted?" his grip tightened around your neck, the other hand yanking your head further back as his lips trailed behind your ear. "you wanted everyone to watch me embarrass you?" no, actually, that wasn't what you wanted. what did you want? it wasn't really something that crossed your mind and much like sanzu, you were acting on impulse. "answer me" he growled, pulling the quietest of moans from your mouth. "n-not here.. please.." you whispered as he craned his neck down to hear you better. "somewhere else.. please.."

sanzu had your back pressed against the mirror, sweat beading at your forehead and a throbbing heat growing at your core as his fingers traced relentlessly at the wet spot adorning your panties. "fucking bitch" he breathed. "you're so fucking wet already". his words pulled a needy moan followed by hitched breath as he mercilessly slipped his fingers beyond the hemline of your panties, teasing you with your own slick that coated his skin. "sanzu.. please.." you whined, frustrated with his inaction with you. "please what? please fuck you? please make you feel good after I have to watch you try to fuck someone else? you're a dirty. fucking. slut" his words only worked to tense the knot that was coiling at your core, pushing you past the point of caring about the intention behind them. "mhm.. please" you nodded, excitement now beginning to grow in your chest at the thought of where your taunts could get you. you were lost in the sea of your dirty thoughts and sanzu's fingers long enough to jolt in panic at the sensation of sanzu's cock being pressed up into you with what felt like no warning, followed by the sting of a brisk slap to your face. "you're a dirty slut for me, yeah? nobody else?" he snarled, his face unusually stern. but you were too focused on the tears that began to prick at the corners of your eyes to answer with anything but a meek "uh—h-huh". his reply came in harsh strokes against your hips that nearly fell in time with the muffled music that played just beyond the door, and his words began to soften as your walls clenched and pulsed around his throbbing cock. "fuck — you feel—so good" his words hiss against your skin, your lids fluttered the second his hand once again found its place against your neck, his free hand now snaking to your waist for leverage as his strokes grew deeper and faster. drunk on lust and desire, sanzu slowly began to lose the edge he thought he had, finding himself slipping into ramblings of how good you felt wrapped around his cock like that. but he wanted to punish you, didn't he? wasn't that his intention when he slammed your body against the wall of the bathroom that he now had you trembling in? right. focus, he thought. "wanna see my pretty slut cum on my cock" he whispered, face now dangerously close to yours as his words danced across your lips sending a shiver to your core. you nodded feverishly, until he continued "but I don't think you deserve it, whore" you whined, desperate for him to relieve the tension that was building beneath you — begging to fall apart — begging for any kind of release. "p-please" you stuttered against his lips, your sweat mixing as his hips rutted deeper against you chasing his peak as thoughts of bitter jealousy flooded his mind, controlling his speed until you couldn't hold yourself together beneath his grasp. with dazed eyes teasing the back of your head, you felt yourself gasp for air, struggling to make out anything but an array of white specks and dots in your vision as the pleasure of sanzu's lust and jealousy quickly took control of your senses. "fuck baby — st- stop- clenching — feels — so good.. gonna make me.." he groaned, his body succumbing to your high despite his desires to torture and defy your needs- to tease you to the edge and deny your relief over and over until he had you begging at the ground for him. but he couldn't. the way your cunt squeezed his cock as it tipped you over the edge had him grasping your neck with an unrealized strength until you were gasping for air, legs trembling on the porcelain sink he had placed you on. "f-fuck — can't.." he stuttered, pink hair drenched in sweat now plastered to his face as he threw his head back in ecstasy releasing his warm seed deep inside your quavering pussy.

"bitch" sanzu murmured, forehead pressed against yours in defeat. "don't fucking do that again"

full circle #1: food & honest conversation

Shu Yi eating & offering food to Shi De in S2EP4 is such a power move tbh.

S1EP4 is the first time, in S2, that we see, on screen, Shu Yi willingly eating in front of Shi De & sharing his food w/ Shi De. and, in the bridge scene, in particular, Shu Yi is open and communicative and happy. he's happy to eat and to share his food (& his thoughts) with Shi De.

Shu Yi's happy to be with Shi De again, finally, finally, finally.

the food & honest convo during S2EP4 bridge scene reminds me of the very first time they had an open and honest conversation with each other: the hotpot scene from S1EP2.

here, for the first time, Shi de is allowed to take care of Shu Yi… he took Shu Yi out of an uncomfortable situation (Yu Xin & Zheng Wen), he made spicy hotpot for Shu Yi (Shu Yi’s favorite), and peeled shrimp for Shu Yi (on Shu Yi’s roundabout request!). Shu Yi actually thanked Shi De for what he’s did and this is also the first time that Shu Yi made an effort to understand Shi De (by asking Shi De what he’d do if he was in Shu Yi’s position)! Shi De was also open with Shu Yi in return by telling Shu Yi what he thinks about unrequited love.

i truly believe that the hotpot scene is where Shu Yi’s view of Shi De changed from a rival/enemy to something else, something more, and the dynamic of their relationship shifted from then on.

in S2EP4 bridge scene, Shu Yi has fully forgiven Shi De for all his transgression and all the heartbreak that Shi De caused him

here, Shu Yi’s asking if Shi De remembers his love for him, he’s asking if Shi De trusts him now like he trusted him then when he shouted ‘dai dai dai dai daisuki’ at the top of his lungs, he’s asking if Shi De really, truly believes in the ‘forever’ that Shu Yi vowed to him.

and he’s also telling Shi De that whatever it was that Shi De did, it doesn’t matter to him, it didn’t really matter to him then because he loved Shi De then too. he loves Shi De now, he forgives Shi De now… Shu Yi’s already forgiven Shi De a long time ago, even when Shi De didn’t deserve his forgiveness and Shi De is now aware that he's forgiven. so, Shu Yi can now love him openly again.

this is different from S2EP2 where the food was a tool of manipulation.

here, Shu Yi’s using food to manipulate Shi De into thinking that he’s allowed to care for Shu Yi again and Shu Yi’s reluctant to fully accept Shi De into his life again. it’s just like that meal at the beginning of S1EP2 where Shi De forcefully gave Shu Yi food. it was his roundabout way of taking care of Shu Yi and Shu Yi not being happy about it. that’s Shi De forcing his agenda/selfishness/care onto an unwilling Shu Yi; everything about their relationship is one-sided, whether it’s the love, the rivalry, or the understanding

and, im grasping at straws here lol, if we consider the involvement of food since S2EP1, we can see that it’s always present when they’re supposed to be fckn communicating w/ each other

S2EP1: Shi De making food instead of actually talking to Shu Yi. he literally said ‘we’ll talk after u eat something’. he trespassed into Shu Yi’s house because he wanted to explain himself to Shu Yi but forcefully made Shu Yi food. and then, he left a note telling Shu Yi to eat the food.

S2EP2: the stupid breakfast & Shu Yi’s scheme to take revenge of Shi De + Shi De being aware of that scheme but not fckn confronting Shu Yi about it. that scene was chocked full of tension and it was the perfect opportunity for them to talk shit out but nooooooo, but none of them fckn said anything.

S2EP2: the fucking couch scene. it literally started with the midnight snack Shi De brought for Shu Yi. they were meant to be talking but Shi De’s drunk ass forced kisses onto Shu Yi instead.

S2EP3: again… f o o d… food being forcefully made by Shi De as a tool to soften Shu Yi into letting him stay. and food once again being the reason where Shi De climbed into Shu Yi bed and asking if Shu Yi wants to go back to the time when they were young and happy and foolish.

-

EDIT: i just want to clarify that Shu Yi forgiving Shi De doesn’t mean he’s forgetting or condoning or excusing the offenses that Shi De committed against Shu Yi... forgiving just means Shu Yi fully accepted that wrong were done unto his feelings & person; he recognizes that Shi De caused him, he’s now willing to heal the pain & fix the fractures in their relationship, and he’s ready to move to a better future w/ Shi De

[chili-aux]

*whispers* okay heres the tea. some big er/uri account got into a fight with a lvhn shipper under that zodiac official art post cuz they said that the latter has more basis than ruri so the big account asked them to pm as to why they think that and they messaged them a thread by our resident god levihantrash covering crumbs from manga to the spinoffs, interviews etc. the big account posted screenshots of those on their main(typical ruri behaviour im sorry ahah) and now they are all like "imagine having to consider unofficial stuff and all just to get crumbs for your hc ship" "hange filthy, why do you romanticize levi bathing them" and all that shit they always they say. Its funny cuz they are currently celebrating their ship being canon bcuz an old artist has a song called midnight sun in their new ep(which has nthng to do with aot btw) describing ruri’s bond apparently and we are ones grasping for crumbs lmfao. i hope this isn’t too controversial haha, that ship is cool and all but the shippers are wack. Thanks for letting me ramble lol<3

no worries about rambling anon!!! you can ramble as much as you want ^_^

i will try to be objective as possible.

I'm all for being a respectful shipper, staying on the ships' respective lanes, and just hyping the ship and the contents it has - doesn't matter if it is canon or fanon.

in my perspective, both sides are in the wrong. there's this sentence saying "shut up" and honestly, we all need to practice that. i'm not really a fan of ship wars, even though i sometimes engaged in one. they're just draining and i don't have enough energy to deal with it continuously. however, there are just many points that I want to debunk here.

first things first, I honestly don't like eruri. i just can't see the romantic side of erwin and levi's relationship but I still respect it. as a levihan shipper though who has hange's guts in her veins, I wouldn't explicitly say to a public platform that "hey levihan has more basis than this ship" but in a more subtle form of "Levihan Canon As Fuck" and if someone replied, I will just ignore and block them. in my opinion, that's more respectful.

In short, the wrong thing that that levihan shipper did was mentioning another ship besides levihan - furthermore, in a negative manner. it will really attract ship wars, whether we like it or not.

As for that eruri who replied, ya know, if someone dmed me about a topic that is so 'controversial in both fandoms - a topic that always incites ship wars such as what ship is really canon or not - it's time for a healthy discussion. however, I know that I'm in no position to talk cuz I'm not even the one who got involved. but the thing is, dm means direct message - both of you can talk in a civil manner, discuss each other's part of the argument in a healthier way without anyone interfering. but it seems like that didn't happen in this case.

why did that eruri post the convo with that levihan shipper? that's so fucked up - especially with that caption lol.

before you proceed, I'm afraid to tell yall that my shipping goggles are on, and being objective was thrown away cuz I'm just pissed by this part.

"imagine having to consider unofficial stuff and all just to get crumbs for your hc ship"

what did you all call all of these then? fanarts? guess we have to thank isayama for being the greatest and biggest levihan fanartist out there then.

and even if both are from spin-offs, they wouldn't be there if isayama wasn't consulted.

and in the anime...

Yeah, we're grasping in plentiful contents :D

"hange filthy, why do you romanticize levi bathing them"

man... why are you turning levi into a balloon then? /hj /lh

anyway, it's the first time I heard about that song and that topic so I don't have much say on it. but if it really doesn't have a connection on aot, then why? I'm genuinely asking why do these shippers relate their ship to something that isn't even related to the canon material? and we're grasping for straws? for crumbs? it... doesn't make sense.

The bottom line tho, be respectful. don't fuel ship wars or engage in ship wars cuz, in all honesty, they're all pathetic af. I'm saying this unironically cuz this post might fuel one and I might get hate on this again lol. but go off, idc.

btw, thank you for the ask anon. ramble as much as you want. i won't mind!!

[tundrainafrica]

some of the aot fans (probably just casual readers) don't see the parallels between EM and LH???? like the brunettes desire to live with their ackermans together in the woods? they call levihan shippers delusionals. their attacking levihans that they didn't read the manga well and we just want our ship to be canon??? WTH????

I keep wondering if it's just us, levihans, who see these parallels?

im sorry for this rant, it's just soooo frustrating. Basically the reason why i leave twt lol not yet, im still there bcoz of lh filo socmed aus

I have so many things I wanna say about chapter 138 and I am so sorry I only got to it now. I think most Levihan fans already said what I wanted to say but either way, I’ll just give some thoughts I entertained when these came out. 

Coz first of all… 

As a Levihan shipper, I am obviously ecstatic about this but as most people know, I come from a household where everyone is not too enthusiastic about Levihan. They are so very enthusiastic about INVALIDATING LEVIHAN in particular that my sister and my parents who don’t even watch AOT just come up to me while I’m staring at Levihan art on tumblr and go… 

“What are you doing?” 

“Staring at art.”

“Oh, is that the one couple you like who don’t even love each other or smthg.” 

Cause apparently my sisters who watch AOT and my boyfriend have been SO vocal about invalidating Levihan that even my parents now are on ship that they aren’t even a thing and I’m just delusional but yes, since I live in a house where literally ‘shipping Levihan’ is on the same level as ‘the curtains are blue so the narrator is sad’ type of interpretation, I will start by mentioning a more pragmatic argument to this whole Levihan and Eremika parallel. 

While I am one of those who can definitely see that yes those were clear parallels, there are some louder people( mostly Eruri shippers) who think that LH fandom is just grasping on straws and trying to diminish their supposedly canon ship( because EL and EM ackerbonding thing) so I was wondering what is your view on this?

So, to break down the argument...

It’s a war story blah blah blah. And besides Mikasa loved Eren from the start blah blah blah. 

I think this is an argument I see a lot. Because Yams is writing a war story and I think a lot of people are suggesting that it’s a war story here is no way anyone can be canon or anyone can have romantic relationships. 

AND I HATE THIS TAKE. Relationships are human nature. Yes, being arromantic exists but I don’t believe that in a fictional space, romance can ever NOT exist. Because most---or scratch that--- I believe all humans will search for companionship and I do not believe it is ever reaching to jump from whatever companionship exists between people and contemplate the potential of romance, except incest but that’s another story. 

Yeah because if there’s no kiss or sex then it’s not a romance apparently. 

Well guess what, we’re all reaching then, cause only Eren and Mika got the kiss. But lemme drop some social experiment I did. 

I actually showed the Eremika and Levihan ‘Let’s live together scenes’ side by side to a colleague at work who doesn’t watch AOT and she told me, WITHOUT CONTEXT, that she prefers the scene between Levihan more than Eremika and the reason behind that is because there were undertones, specifically in the Korean translation’ that Hange was tired, and there’s this apparent romantic-ness to it when you dream of something when you’re tired and when you dream of a particular someone. 

Because here’s the thing, when you love someone, when you decide to be in a  relationship with someone, that person will be your HOME. And now that I think about it, it definitely hits for me more, because when Hange was tired, when Hange was completely exhausted and spent, she dreamt of a future with Levi. 

And don’t you think that it’s more romantic that ‘despite everything, she thinks of him’ compared to ‘she constantly thinks of him?’ Because I dunno, when someone is constantly thinking of someone, there’s actually no effort really needed for the feeling to grow, but when ‘they think of someone, despite everything.’ There’s this idea that the relationship can withstand more things and that means they thought long and hard about it. 

Their life is so interesting and eventful, yet at the end of the day, there exists someone who still shines brighter than life itself and that’s why ‘Despite everything, she thinks of him’ rings brighter than ‘she constantly thinks of him’ for me at least. 

Probably a personal preference thing but either way… Just my take. 

Western people don’t consider running away ‘romantic?’ 

This is something I’ve discussed with filo moots multiple times and this is something I’ve thought about reading the Japanese and English translations, reading the Filipino Soc Med AUs and having my friend read the Korean ones.  

The Japanese and Koreans are quick to see the romantic undertones, a lot of my Filipino moots are quick to see those romantic undertones too. But we have the western fandom on Reddit going ‘Yo Erehisu foh evah’ and people saying ‘Levihan not canon they didn’t kiss.’ 

But YO both of my parents are ‘tanan’ (runaway in tagalog) babies. My mom actually ran away with a man and wasn’t allowed to talk to her dad until she graduated. My dad disobeyed his parents to marry my mom. They were setting my dad up with another woman and they were going to have a big wedding and everything but my dad was like…

NOPE Imma run away and marry this woman. 

And can I just say, my parents are the MOST unromantic people but they literally disobeyed their parents, ran away together, literally risked their relationships with their parents to make it work. 

And my parents are one of the few people in their family who are still in a happy relationship even after 25 years of marriage. 

Okay, I admit, sometimes running away is a dumb decision and shouldn’t constantly be romanticized. 

But I don’t think a lot of people understand the gravity of what ‘tanan’ entails. Legit, it was emphasized in 138 already, if Eren ran away, Paradis could have been overrun by military soon. And if Hange and Levi ran away to the woods, ‘what would there have been left for them? 

And in real life, my mom literally gave up her relationship with her dad to try to make the relationship work. My dad gave up the comforts of marrying a rich woman in a lavish wedding to marry my mom. 

They literally had a civil wedding, went out to eat Chinese noodles and China town as a post wedding meal and 25 years later, they have one of the strongest relationships I’ve ever seen. 

AND NO ONE RUNS AWAY WITH SOMEONE FOR THE LELZ. So yes, running away with someone will always be romantic for me.

And the Ackerbond?

Something I always find myself asking. Why do people want the Ackerbond to actually be a thing? Because if the Ackerbond were real, then wouldn’t that invalidate all Eruri and Eremika even more since we know they’re just trapped in the relationship like Stockholm syndrome or something? 

And besides didn’t Yams debunk that chapters ago? 

Anyway, onto the next questions

hi sav! i have a question about the recent chapter. do you think the em and lh parellels were done on purpose by isayama? 

And to answer this question… I am not so sure actually. I talked to a Japanese friend who grew up in the same prefecture as Yams, apparently it was her acquaintance from high school who married Yams and they were childhood sweethearts. 

So maybe Yams got it from them?  My memory on that convo is hazy but it’s only possible that he built Eremika from there. And Levi and Hange’s development is just incredibly different that I don’t think Yams thought that far to do it. 

My theory here is that Yams is writing a war story and he only has one way he could have ever shown romance in a war story and that’s through ‘running away’ so I believe the parallels are unintentional but I genuinely believe that this was Yam’s way of showing romantic undertones. 

And I personally do not think that Levi and Hange would have ever kissed in that time in their life, at least intentionally and I hoenstly commend Yams for doing such a good job with the subtlety of the romance because I’ve literally seen so many great characters in other stories completely butchered by a poorly done romantic subplot so I aint complaining about these romantic undertones. 

But either way,

I hang in the Japanese fandom a lot and there have been lots of fandom discussion on Levihan becoming endgame if 132 didn’t happen. And there are actually articles on this putting Levihan as endgame along with Eremika so I’m kinda suspecting that invalidating Levihan is an anime-only fan and reddit fandom type of thing.

But anyway, thank you for reading, sorry for the long rant.
