I can't resist. holy shit. I was skimming the kab vod (so... what do I do now???***) because I missed context after my last post and all that and I stumbled on this: (lifesteal spoilers below)
23:00 “‘you betrayed princezam’ I didn't do shit I didn't do nothing. ‘Betrayed princezam’ I didn't do shit you want to see a fucking betrayal of princezam I can fucking betray princezam. If you think that, if you think me killing planet was a betrayal then you have clearly never watched any of my videos. My betrayals are always so much cooler than that. I would never let that be a fucking betrayal. Don't even. Don't even”
Like FUCK man. I'm dying crying laughing. like what do you even do with that. The disconnect. The threat. The thinking it was a chatter pov and not a stream snipe. She has no idea.
Like Zam is way too in his feels to have a confrontation with her about how it 100% was a betrayal in his eyes but I want that conversation SO BAD. Especially after such a direct quote like this.
also she does say in the next stream "hurting zam would be cruel" because he's never hurt her. So like, empty threat for sure. (Unless Zam does something first :eyes: he won't.) And she talks about how it's harder to be evil on lifesteal because she knows the people too well and she feels bad about it. Going back to that duality within her about caring too much about people but also doing evil shit.
also (omg here I go analyzing) the conceptual difference in the definition of "betrayal" between her and *lifesteal* is fascinating.
For Kab evidently a betrayal is only something that you plan and execute: it can never be something impulsive or accidental.
But last season we saw Mapicc (and Clown) say Zam giving Minute the blessing was a betrayal. Zam didn't intend to betray. He was doing it because it made sense for the joker to be so obsessed with Minute to the point of giving him a blessing, and a useless blessing at that.
And yet it was a betrayal. And Zam had to face that. And he accepted it immediately when Mapicc explained how if they are teammates he should have thought of the team first.
But he also didn't understand it at first. Just so interesting.

I love how both Hope and Haarlep immediately identify us as Raphaels "little mouse". That's just what Raphael calls us. They know exactly who we are, which isn't really surprising since we're the final piece in his plan to get the crown, something he has planned for centuries. He probably can't shut up about it. I like to imagine Raphael pacing through the hallways telling all his debtors and anyone who can't run away fast enough about our adventures and what we're up to, basically bragging about his favourite racehorse that he put all his money on in this game he created. (bets with Korilla are canon, and he puts his money on us). Or maybe it's like a daily movie night thing. Raphael forces the entire House of Hope to gather in the portal chamber to watch our adventures through one of those portal mirrors, which he uses to stalk his prey according to Hope. Can you imagine how insufferable he must be if he gets the player to sign the contract?
Haarlep might know all about us anyway since his entire purpose in the House of Hope consists of spying for Mephistopheles, and preventing Raph from scheming to get the crown of Karsus by distracting him. It's all job relevant information and since so much depends on us, and the crown used to belong to Mephistopheles, it's likely not just Raph who has taken an interested in us. Haarlep probably passes all of Raphaels intel on right away. Meeting us must be quite exciting for him. Raphael has been watching and following this one person for such a long time and then one day they just walk into Raphs bedchamber. So many possibilites, but he also knows you're an actual threat, so he proposes the game to take you out. By killing Tav, he can stick it to Raphael by messing up his plans AND steal your soul from right under his nose, which is probably the ultimate insult in devil culture. Maybe he makes good on his threats and offers Raphael your soulless body as a plaything to put more salt into the wound, gifting him the shell of the asset he was cultivating for so long. If you're strong enough to resist, Haarlep won't risk attacking you and helps you instead. If nothing else, you're at least a chance of putting an end to this tedious spy mission by taking out Raphael and you might even save the world on top of it, which would also be in his interest. If he even believes that you can take on Raphael.
So he basically has the chance to kill two birds with one stone. He harbors contempt for Raphael so spiting him would be gratifying enough, but on top of it he's also just carrying out the orders of Mephistopheles, his real master.

so i finally got to sit down with my wife's rigid heddle loom, and...i don't like it? i'm producing fabric, but after 90 minutes of weaving (photo taken midway through for light reasons), i'm not loving it or honestly even liking it much.
this is the exact opposite of the thing i was expecting! i'll at least finish this towel--maybe i'm just cranky today?--but i sat down expecting to fall into this and wow, i very much did not.
on the bright side, at least my hemstitching looks nice?

I haven't kept up with mha in a while since I could see the downhill trajectory the story was taking for all of the villains from like a mile away, but god damn if the latest leaks regarding Dabi haven't exceeded my expectations in terms of the amount of pure disappointment and frustration that could fit into one character arc. What the shit
