LET THE BOY HAVE AN EDUCATION

[scienceandstorytelling]

holy SHIT I just realized why one line in npmd seemed so random but oh my god the IMPLICATIONS

I was just watching someone react to Honey Queen and chat was saying Roman probably raised Linda to be a future Honey Queen candidate and right after they said that it got to the scene where we see Nibbly eat Linda and he goes “Yum Yum!” and I was like oh fuck I’ve heard that before in NPMD

When the Lords appear during the Summoning Blinky and Tinky say ominous things to Grace and Pete but Nibbly just says “Stephanie! Yum Yum!” and everyone including myself seems to be like lol why was that all she got but holy fuck

Mayor Lauter is raising Stephanie to be a potential Honey Queen and Nibbly knows it. “Next time you cheat, do it like a Lauter and don’t get caught.” “I don’t care who you kill, you just had to go and do it in that house.” He’s training her to be the hungriest woman in Hatchetfield so she can be offered up to Nibblenephim one day. Maybe that’s what he gave up that he cherished most - his own daughter. That’s why he keeps her so distant and hates her. That’s why he’s “never touching that book again!” And Nibbly? Nibbly is looking forward to his feast.

Binge read all of vanitas no carte in like a day and a half. Gay ppl are literally insane. I always thought the ever-famous "I'll never set you free!" line was like... something to do with a binding contract or something. I didn't understand the hype about it, I was always like "Okay it's kind of cute that he's never gonna let this contract go, but it's not inherently romantic. What are you guys even talking abt right now."

But then you read it and there is SO MUCH romantic subtext, and even moments that are explicitly romantic between Vanitas and Noe.

And when Noe says "I'll never set you free!" it wasn't about a contract, it was him promising to never leave Vanitas. Vanitas saw total isolation and abandonment as "freedom," and Noe said, "As long as I'm here, you won't ever have that brand of freedom. I will never let you feel alone again. I promise to always be by your side, I promise to never abandon you. I promise to stay."

Let's all ignore the political implications of RiotxArcane's Gilded universe and instead enjoy Ekko and Jinx attending the same gala!

Arcane! Give Jinx and Ekko fancier jackets!

Technically Jinx wasn't invited, and Ekko's hanging out/flirting in another room with his friends, but I like to think Ekko listed invited Jinx as a plus one. Ekko would do this with a complete understanding that Jinx would bring her goon squad to tear the place apart, and in a perfect world Ekko'd love it.

something something episode six something something about how so far the show seems to be saying that people can grow and change, that being a bad or good person isnt eternal at all which makes the concept of hell and heaven eternal punishment or eternal bliss is stupid and unfair

was thinking bout this post ever since i first saw the tags cuz i didn't know the shifting mound can actually give you the resist option in the tower route if you did the adversary to fury route beforehand... needless to say i tried to do the thing and proceeded to try it with the other merging chapters just to see something new and ummm...

how curious that only hero seemingly hears the shifting mound's comment to you. not even the other voice present or the narrator acknowledges it.

In other news:

I introduced 14 Chinese teenagers to Bridge to Terabithia today and yesterday.

And like... if you were ever wondering if your teacher showed you that movie to fuck with you

Yeah.

We did.

the only thing I keep notes on when writing is stuff that's already been signaled and needs to come back somehow, and I try to keep those notes as condensed as possible because if they're too lengthy or I have too many items I'll start missing things, but that gets very funny when I jot down something like

My hope for the full game is we get to fight Zagreus. It would make me sad :)

We open immediately on Watanuki once again waking up in tears over his existential suffering - which appears that it was ORIGINALLY IN COLOUR, FOR OUR ENJOYMENT - and I’m immediately in pain. 

So. it’s going to be like that today.

And I immediately have a thousand questions.
