#it’s okay to feel that it was underwhelming

[littleskrimp]

I know people are a bit underwhelmed by the Avatrice Bed Scene script but Simon did say it wasn’t anything major. Just a scene of them waking up in the morning. 😊

Here are some points I found nice:

- AVATRICE SHARING A BED (Even though we all knew this, but it’s nice to have confirmation)

- Bea being an early bird, staring at the ceiling as she lays there next to Ava

- Bea taking a moment to look at a sleeping Ava 🥰

- Bea could’ve gotten up but she stayed laying in bed just to wait for Ava to wake up 🥹

- Ava dragging herself out of bed (obviously not an early bird)

- Ava commenting about how the church could’ve given them a better apartment to live in (even though we know she secretly loves that lil’ apartment)

- Ava cursing and Bea being too tired to scold her for it but does it anyway and saying the word “ass” in the process

- Bea teasing Ava about the upcoming training

All in all, I still loved it. It had me looking forward to something Warrior Nun related and I’ve missed that feeling. Having to try and save a show can take a bit of a toll. So, thank you Simon! I’m looking forward to more WN goodies. ❤️

Quality of gidles music has declined pretty badly, IVEs last comeback was FINE, staycs latest album was BAD truly, everglows last title track divided the fandom, le sserafim are controversial and hated, itzy kind of fell off still have some loyal fans but lowkey their real last hit was in like 2020. In conclusion aespa are truly 4th gen leaders. Boy groups I dont care about you

Kamukura with emotions doesn't make him weaker than before, just because he's in relationship with Makoto doesn't mean he's gone completely *soft*. He's only gone soft in just one angle, the rest is still pretty much still the same except now he perfers to rest his head on Makoto's lap than anything else that was already available for him to simply just lean his head against.

The first thing he feels when being around makoto isn't *love*, it's simply the same feeling he always felt which is *boredom*. And the second that came along wasn't the first thing mentioned, it's *interest* (from the form of the prespective of boring normalcy that differs his own) that slowly by time turned into *obsession* (realizing this whole thing is much better than when being stuck in the tight room in his lab) and by then began to be sticking around the guy instead of the other way around and it'll be a surprise to Makoto one day and to Makoto that will only be taken as an invitation to be closer. A progress.

All in all *love* will be the LAST THING appeared even AFTER they were in a relationship because it is something that Kamukura HAS to come in terms or accept himself, or realising too late to stop it cause he only accept to be "in a relationship" (with the entitlement of 'lovers' or 'partners' and everything) with Makoto simply in a way so Makoto can stay close to him (knowing the guy's unyielding loyalty and used that to his gain), because Makoto continues to make himself intriguing to Kamukura in his own boring, simple ways because Kamukura has grow to hate and berated normalcy of the untalented by his teachers and developed it through there. Plus he never gets to experience or learn a lot more of it other than the lab staffs' explanation of how "boring" it is and it's seem to also be the reason *he* became Kamukura in the first place as well.

(So the beggining of their relationship itself, the "love" part was one-sided. Kinda. In a way)

Sure it *is* boring. The whole "normal lifestyle" thing is sure sucked away his life source (if he even had one) and it's already just as he expected even when he lets Makoto around for at least a few days, he only let the guy around cause his luck is unexpected at most times but then of COURSE Makoto would use those times to shimmy his way into Kamukura's life. Shortly yet slowly. A very strange pace it is but it worked well with both of them.

His sickening optimistic, motivating nature to upbring Kamukura's gloomy, unmotivated one to pull him in the most boring of activities eventhough he had stated either directly or indirectly that those are, obviously, *boring*.

But Makoto's other traits that has first caught him just *slightly* off guard (which is. Rare and almost to never) was his undeterred determination to prove someone wrong (either in a morality sense in what was naively generally right). Perhaps he has been too assuming of Makoto's commonly pushover antics, or maybe Makoto's usual everyday and everytime genuine optimism has put his guard down just a bit that it made him passed by the fact that Makoto- no matter how positive and hopeful- *can* get mad or bothered if being triggered in certain ways. Certain ways as in if it involves someone else or views of things morally in a negative sense (the reaction made Makoto look more.. real. Something along that line).

Im also thinking how at some point, that *stubborn* determination that *always* butts in whenever Kamukura try to state or refuse. To try and always attempting to change his mind and at some point it led to another breaking point leading to the next change and that would be Kamukura- in his still usual bored tone yet out of character dialogue, said, in *annoyance*; "can you shut up." And doesn't THAT caught them BOTH off guard.

Silence followed when both were lost in their own thoughts in trying to process it before Makoto snapped out of it first to apologise for crossing the line and in promise to not do it again. Which, Kamukura is fine with but at the same time- "no" he would say, "keep talking". Cause sure, Kamukura has a fair share of being annoyed sometimes, but THIS is different, because just *how* can he be so easily annoyed over something so... *simple* as Makoto to be able to *blurted out* the moment of thought? It's something worth to explore more. To *experience*. Because it's new and when it's new, it's usually *interesting and unexpected* to someone like Kamukura.

And sometimes it's not just usually some new emotion just popped up at certain times, it's also the fact how constant it is of how the emotions he had experienced off kept *shifting*. He'd be bored then suddenly feeling intrigued in something then suddenly be slightly fluttery-ish? ('Amused' he noted) or suddenly feeling heavy in his chest ('sadness' he thought), heck, even the feeling of something clawing his insides when Makoto almost get a brick crushed his own head ('fear' he whispered to himself) then suddenly sometimes shifts back to being bored, then intrigued, then over and over in an out of order cycle. It either shift back to the same things or it develops something new.

It was never just one thing everyday just like how things are before meeting Makoto- like continuously be bored of everything and that's what makes things both overwhelming and underwhelming at the same time.

I also think that another thing that pulls Kamukura to Makoto is that just from Makoto, wanting to hang out and stick to him, to befriended him, with the payment only be *spending some time with Kamukura* and not to use him for his talents and abilities alone. Is one thing Kamukura unmanaged to just *understand* or fully grasp. In the end though he resolved by thinking that perhaps this is just a Makoto thing. That Makoto is being too good or cared too much of others in a way. But it does put Kamukura in a good "hm..." moment though.

I have a funny imagery that Kamukura just seem to be more often being put *slightly* off guard more by Makoto (wether intentionally or unintentionally which is usually the latter) than anyone else does. To which he be more on guard than he is before and to not jump to the most obvious conclusions or assumptions on some people because, of course, the Makoto situation and all. To which also means it made him statistically *more* dangerous than before (congrats Makoto! You made him more cautious or more thoughts in than usual of what was around him!).

His obsession in wanting to keep Makoto close to him by time will become apart of his own conciousness that *I* believe to be the case. Because after everything?? Everything that happened for the last few months?? Wether before or after being together (though I believe the moment they are together is the moment where the feeling became more hecticly stronger)?? It would only be obvious that he would, for once, *accidentally* (cause really, since when does being with Makoto Naegi means anything gone as planned?) Putting the obsession from wanting Naegi close because he is the first and often only source of interest for Kamukura's own bargained to wanting Makoto close because suddenly he was in too deep in the pit he had been *still* continuously dig himself in and finding that he doesn't *like* it when Makoto was out of reach.

(Going from trying to keep the guy around for selfish reasons by means to keep himself out of his usual bored state [cause let's face it, Kamukura isn't a good person, nor a bad one either, heck doesn't even attempted in search to at least *try* to quench his boredom just because he lacks any sort of motivation. But if the interesting thing were to suddenly presented dangling just in sight he WILL grab onto it tightly.], to obsessively trying to not get the guy lost out of his reach figuratively or metaphorically sense cause he *knows* that he will never *feels* something like this again, to feeling just *right* to have Makoto close to him and not letting go just because he doesn't *like* it)

I doubt Kamukura even realised the moment he had been *attached* to Makoto, simply because he had never experience emotions in the first place other than just knowing the basic theories to diagnose others in. And when he did, it's too late by then (it won't be him unable to escape Makoto. No, no, on the contrary, Makoto will be unable to escape *him*).

So anyways. Love isn't the priority to Kamukura since the very beggining in the start of their relationship, because the other foreign subjects that is emotions (twinging sadness, light amusement, flickering annoyance, poisonous jealousy, and dare he not admit the clawing fear) *are* the foundations that build his own *version* of what was the concept of 'Love' is.

Love is different to everyone afterall, so far what Kamukura has learned and see, if there was anything the same about all of it is that; love is a form of passion, and the connection of the bonds, it can be different from others, but Kamukura *doesn't* feel anything a lot WITH anyone else in general more than he is with Makoto. So essentially to him, it was different. It's not love that was viewed *generally* but it was his own version nonetheless.

This is just *my* insight of how I see Kamuegi *in* Kamukura's prespective. Cause he is my favorite character to write. You can do so many things to him in certain situations no matter how impossible it seem to try and not break his character. But that's the thing. You NEED to break certain characters, but as long as you didn't break the fundamental core of their characters then trust me, it's more of a scratch or a rather small crack on a ceramic vase than it looking all smashed up.

Sometimes you GOTTA make a scratch or heck, added something on it, without it losing it's shape or material as a ceramic vase, in order to make it slightly more jazzam get it? Or to make it work for the theme of the room you placed it in. (Not me using the vase metaphor for all of this)

I'm a bit confused on why some journalists said there would be lots of talk & speculation following the finale, but I can't think of much? yeah Gerrard is there and that's annoying, but I expected a bigger cliff hanger. Eddie/Christopher's conclusion was sad, but for the most part things wrapped up well.

hey, so why does Anet keep killing off the cool & interesting characters?

[aromanticannibal]

The pattern is that people straight up do not read™. or they read a 3-5 tweet summary of what happened and treat it as if they did. or because shonen expectations based on "the classics" is bullshit and significantly rotted people's brains when deciding wether an ending is good or not.

Which could be nothing right

yeahhh. i will forever regret reading the last chapter through leaks because it was a dreadful experience, and watching everyone ever shit on it for like a week after genuinely made me want to just get off the internet forever or something because i felt like an idiot for liking the ending (all this is my fault for getting too invested in both tumblr and mha etc etc).

All the "it's rushed" and pacing complaints barely matter to me at this point because you just cannot feel the pacing of something correctly when you're reading it exclusively through leaks. you can't absorb info like that. And don't get me started on the number of complaints and criticisms I've seen of the last chapter that are just provably bullshit (I saw someone say Izuku didn't get a statue lmao. yes he did, you just read the fucking leaks and watched twitter drama unfold instead of reading the actual chapter i fear).

WIP Wednesday #17

Another snippet from the next chapter of Bad Decisions!

“I can’t believe Laura’s alive,” said Sigma as he chewed around a mouthful of semi-stale popcorn. He wasn’t sure how long they’d been playing the game at this point, but he did know that they should have spread their snacks out a little more.

“Well, I can’t believe that Fyodor gets to have all the fun with Laura! It should be me playing her!” Nikolai complained woefully, as though crushed by such an obvious and devastating realization.

“And why is that?” Fyodor asked, deadpan. He’d leaned away from the two of them the moment Nikolai freed Sigma’s hair from its bun and began to braid it, irritated by Nikolai’s constant motion. He’d stolen the blanket and wrapped himself up entirely, only his face visible now.

“That should be obvious!” Nikolai tugged Sigma’s hair a little too hard; Sigma winced, his elbow shooting back instinctively to dig against Nikolai’s ribs. The only acknowledgment he received that Nikolai even noticed was a sloppy kiss to the top of his head before Nikolai continued, “She wears and eyepatch. I wear an eyepatch.”

“You aren’t wearing it now,” Sigma pointed out, but that only got him another sting of pain as Nikolai pulled on his half-woven braid.

“She was practically made for me to play her!” Nikolai claimed mournfully. He leaned toward Fyodor, taking an unwilling Sigma with him, so he could pout directly in Fyodor’s line of sight. “Fedya, won’t you switch with me? You can be Kaitlyn!”

Fyodor, with a heavy sigh, paused the game to consider Nikolai’s offer. He wore a frown, but even with the dark shadow Nikolai cast over his face, his eyes looked striking and thoughtful. A soft hum left him, the moment of consideration enough to have Sigma’s chest aching with dejected anticipation.

“Fedya, don’t!” Sigma argued, still clinging to the hope that Laura might survive to see the end of the game. It was a shame that Max had died so early, but he could at least want to save one of them, right? “He’ll just get her killed!”

“I’d never!” Nikolai gasped, scandalized, and gave Sigma a tight squeeze. “Need I remind you that I haven’t killed anyone! It’s mostly been dear, sweet, well-meaning Sigma!”

“Not on purpose!” Sigma wailed, squirming weakly in Nikolai’s grasp. He quickly gave up trying to escape and just slumped, sulking, and avoided Fyodor’s eyes. He didn’t want to watch the decision to happen in real time, didn’t want to see all of his hopes for even one survivor dashed so definitely.

“Laura will be completely safe in my hands!” Nikolai promised with a hand over Sigma’s heart instead of his own; Sigma didn’t have the energy to point out that he didn’t think that was how swearing worked.

Fyodor contemplated the offer for a moment longer before his shoulders lifted into a small, impassive shrug. “No.”

Nikolai’s mortified gasp sounded through the room, his eyes misting with shock and betrayal. He clutched at Sigma, hugging him the way one would cling to a teddy bear for comfort, and Sigma hoped that his head didn’t pop off.

“But Fedya!” Nikolai wailed, heartbroken. Sigma was sure he saw tears now. “Why not?! I’ve been so good this whole time!”

A claim that Sigma would dispute if he wasn’t gasping for air.

gojover? i barely ever know her

[girlivealwaysbean]

so I was thinking this since yesterday because of these tags on the webweave

and this one came after that

and it made me think like what if. what if. it's actually not that deep it's just me who's so emotionally attached to this piece of media because i have known it for this long and it's my coping mechanism.like what if that second person watches jjk and doesn't connect with them like this and they end up hating it because i gave them hope and i made it deeper than it is💀

i am so mad at your brain for spiralling down this road because all i can think is OMG!!!!!! YOUR WEBWEAVE IS SO AWESOME PEOPLE WANT TO WATCH THE SHOW JUST BECAUSE OF SOME PICS AND QUOTES GLUED TOGETHER!!!!!!!!!! also pls i love the first tags so cute with DO ANOTHER!!!!

After hearing Venture's voice, I'm even more confused about complaints. They sound.... Young. That's it.

I looked into Asra being nonbinary after seeing those tweets and the anon who pointed out he is nonbinary.

While I'm happy to hear that Asra is nonbinary, the way that it was done for him has had fans kind of underwhelmed. And I'm inclined to agree. It's such a minor detail of his character, which is why, after playing hours of the game, I had zero memory of it being canon. If it is discussed more outside of the game than in the game itself, I find it odd that he's used as an example of good rep while putting down another character? There were plenty of ways to show Asra was nonbinary. Having him in a dress one scene isn't a good proof of in game identity, especially when the person stating he's a good example said that "Venture's baggy clothes don't make them good rep when they sound like a girl."

Venture is cute. Their kit seems interesting, and I'll give Overwatch some credit for at least stating outright that they're nonbinary before release and stressing to fans what Venture's pronouns are.

I'm glad we're getting away from the days where nonbinary or otherwise genderfluid characters were robotic or nonhuman. I'm happy that people get to see themselves represented in media.

Shout out to Nazali of The Arcana, because I did remember them!
