#level 5 i hate you

[kiyamahirotoff]

Can we all please talk about her?

she was the first girl to ever see Endou and think it was an oddball, and then she *poofs* out of existence for the rest of the series.

Why does Level-5 would poof her like that? at least they should have made her a relevant background character or something.

[silusvesuius]

nnnnnnnnnnnnno maa'am

Something something isn’t it crazy how rui was ostracized and villainized by his peers for so long but he always kept a deep love for humanity and people as a whole. Isn’t it insane how instead of starting to hate people and becoming bitter he just put the blame on himself for being too weird. Isn’t it bonkers.

I swear to god, I hate how contradictory is level-5 about Targent in Azran Legacy.

The majority of pgs said that before Leon Bronev, Targent had actually good intentions.

which is not true since we know that they literally kidnapped Hersh and Des biological parents, and god knows how many other archaeologists (we know that when this happened, they were a relatively small group, but I don't think that Leon and Rachel were the only ones kidnapped in this period of time.)

We know that Leon worsened it for sure, but Targent itself was rotten from the beginning.

It's basically a crime organisation.

Also, I hate how, in the extras, the agents were like, "Oh yea, we can turn back to the old targent morals and not using Leon's methods anymore"

Fuck no??? You still kidnapped families

Honestly, I don't hate the fact that Targent still exists. IT'S REALISTIC.

But how level-5 just treated it as if the bad in Targent was all Leon's fault is just terrible.

Edit: I'm theorising that they changed a few things during the game development since this topic is a pretty delicate and complex one, so they just said "yea the problem is bronev" and not the entire system.

Let me act unwise for a little bit about the tragedy of Jey Uso at this point in the storyline:

This is not a “I will beat you up to the point of ending you” even though I promised Roman I would finish the Sami Zayn problem for good so he would expect us to beat you up so badly you’d never come close to the Bloodline ever again;

This is a “why won’t you quit” because I want this match to be over so I don’t have to feel torn anymore;

This isn’t a "you should have never joined the Bloodline" even though I didn’t trust you for months and kept twisting myself into knots to interpret everything you did as betrayal or weakness;

It's a "you should never have left the Bloodline" because you saw the good in me the whole time and never gave up on me even while I saw enemies around every corner after being beaten and manipulated into valuing power and status above friendship and respect yet your decision to leave is forcing me to hurt you to protect my family, even though I grew to love you as if you were part of it too and having us end up here is better than for it to have never happened at all; The more Sami refuses to stand down, the more Jey feels obligated to hurt him and the more he hurts the person who in Jey’s own words “saw the good in him” at a time where Jey likely didn’t see it himself as he’d been playing the role of Roman’s henchman for so long - a role he fought against until he literally couldn’t anymore.

Jey is still not ready to face the fact that Roman is the real enemy in this situation (although his reactions to Sami’s recent accusations make it abundantly clear that he knows) and the one who has put Jey in the position that he's in - he's protecting his family FROM his family and the day he finally comes to terms with how wrong that situation is and decides to act on it... it’s over for Roman and the tale of main event Jey Uso will hopefully come full circle. Roman vs Jey 3 has to happen and when it does Jey should have his family backing him up... Jimmy, Solo AND Sami.

And here is the bull himself >:)

+ lore notes

I was like, ah I should make the shadow something interesting, and then I'm like GIVE HIM BULL HORNS???? OKAY SURE !!!!! I'm glad such thoughts can strike at 7 in the morning....thanks brain. But hehehe I'm glad bcs now this matches up super well with the Nando one!

New ship dynamic: who's the bull and who's the matador :)

I think, in this AU, Fernando is generally pretty fond of Seb when he first meets him. Like "ah yes my very own protégé, very nice, I shall mold him in my image." But then Seb starts veering off that course. Bullfighting is all about being dramatic, but Seb maybe has a bit too much(🤏) flair for the dramatic. This escalation starts while he's still Fernando's assistant but he keeps it generally at bay. But god when he becomes a matador himself, he's just off the rails insane.

Bullfighting, to me, is a sport about reckless endangerment of one's self in the pursuit of drama and performance(its literally described as a tragedy in three acts.) But Fernando thinks Seb endangers himself *too* much, not because he cares or anything, but he's making a mockery of the sport!! Especially when Seb starts doing that bull hand symbol(seen above), Fernando just keeps become more enraged with him, not anything to do with the fact that Seb is threatening his records and threatening his own wellbeing, nah of course not.

Seb's gesture is making a mockery of the sport, he's disrespecting the culture, the very nature of it, blah blah blah. Jenson once asks Fernando, after noticing him seething while watching Seb do his gesture, "Which bull are you really trying to defeat?" One could also describe Fernando and Seb's relationship as a "tragedy with three acts."

Anyways Fernando gets very tied up with this rivalry. Even after suffering a severe injury(I have yet to decide, but y'know mchonda electrocution core), he quickly returns to the sport, loath to let Seb get any more headway. And then Seb gets injured, poor little sweet Seb, and neither of them can handle it. Though I already covered this in my prev lore post 🤭 and I think I put it pretty viscerally there so!! I digress.

They're both matadors, but the bull itself is not the only bull Fernando wants to conquer. Conquer as in death? Hm.

daemon is canonically a pedophile, deal with it

Pedophilia is a psychological disorder where in a person is exclusively, or near exclusively, attracted to prepubescent children. This word has an actual psychological definition that is important. People who are pedophiles need mental help and treatment. And no they are not all child molesters and not all child molesters are pedophiles. The psychological community has been very clear on this and it's deeply unhelpful and even dangerous to misuse this word. It also makes one sound like Homophobic as the word has been weaponized against the Queer community so much lately. Now: Is Daemon a pedophile? No. Daemon does not fit the diagnostic criteria for this disorder. In the show he has sex with Mysaria, an adult, Laena, an adult by Westeros law at 16 and legally of age in most of the world (Since we only know she was at least 16 when they got together but it could have been later), certainly not prepubescent, and Rhaenyra when she was an adult, their first sexual encounter by any stretch she was 18-19. In the book their are rumors of sexual acts when Rhaenyra was a young teenager 14-15, however at that time she was culturally considered of age to marry thus not prepubescent, so even if those rumors were true (One can believe Eustace's take but Mushroom's is- Mushroom's) this would not be evidence of Daemon being a pedophile.

Who is the prepubescent child Daemon was show to have sex with or even express sexual desire for?

[putridpride]

Labor Day is only a blue collar worker/office job kinda holiday, so bless you all that are working like it's any other day, I promise we see ya and appreciate y'all <3

[millionsknives]

yes, the plans that i could not share with you (because the haters would sabotage me) were that i was taking on LACC in my vash getup :)

i have so few pictures of myself but i got so many compliments (especially on my arm) and plenty of other people took pictures of me. and normally i don't like attention but i will be honest with u. under these circumstances i loved it. my arm held up really well through 8 hours on the convention floor and i have never been prouder of anything i've made. it's articulated incredibly well, no part of it gave out or required repair, it's never uncomfortable or a nuisance to wear, and i have enough range of motion to do relatively complex things like tying my shoes.

originally i was not planning to try to meet anyone famous because 1) it's expensive and 2) the lines are long and 3) i feel weird and annoying approaching literally anyone for any reason BUT. the spot where i met up with my sister just happened to be right next to johnny yong bosch's table. right when he started signing things. so i said LOL ok i'll do it.

it was super chill, i asked him how it felt to get the call that they wanted him to come back 20 years later for a trigun reboot and he said it almost didn't happen -- that since they recast everyone else for stampede they considered recasting vash as well (and i said WOW i'm so glad they didn't) and he said he really enjoyed getting to come back and explore a darker take (i forget if what he said was a darker take on vash's character, or just a darker trigun in general) but it was briefly surprising 2 me that he considered stampede to be a darker version but i get it, especially when u consider that there is not a lot of comedy in those 12 episodes to balance out the grief.

ANYWAY he was impressed with my arm and i asked him if he would sign my coat :) so he signed the lining but he was also like u know what, i'm gonna give you a second autograph just because. so he signed a print for me as well (free of charge!!) and the print with the blue signature matches my famous paintings that i always film in front of (that's providence baybee)

other stuff from the con under the cut

cosplay notes:

i saw 3 other vash cosplayers (a 98 vash, a stampede vash, and a purple coat vash) and no shade but i definitely had the best arm build. peace and love to all of them though

i saw 1 1/2 wolfwoods. 1 was the aforementioned mullet wolfwood from yesterday's post (ww if you’re out there ww) and the 1/2 was the 98 vash cosplayer’s gf in some kind of goth-ish dress and she was carrying a punisher

mullet wolfwood if you're out there i regret not getting a picture with you so much. i am deeply ashamed and i have no excuse because i ran into you twice and both times i was too embarrassed to ask for a picture. i just want you to know that your punisher was swag and your earrings were yolo and we would look very good together

i expected to see a lot more trigun tbh. los angeles where u at. 4 vashies at a convention of 120,000+ people is nothing. one guy even walked up to me like wow i love ur vash, i haven't seen a lot of trigun at this con and i was like I KNOW i thought i'd see a lot more

theeeee costume of all time award goes to the cad bane cosplayer i saw on the balcony. spare hand in marriage dude (gn) you looked so good

second place for costume of all time goes to the other mother cosplayer who had button eyes and these crazy finger appendages and never once broke character even while waiting in lines

i took 100 points of psychic damage from this one guy who (and im not kidding) was at least 6’4’’ and wearing platform boots and was dressed as the mfing onceler. with the stupid top hat he was fr 7+ feet tall (i saw him duck to get through a doorway).

someone was there as the brawny paper towel guy?? just walking around in a beard and flannel carrying a pack of paper towel rolls?? go off king

i saw 5 nightwing cosplayers but only 2 were biblically accurate (had ass)

the nanami sweep at this convention was so real u all SHOWED UP. and everybody ate. i saw at least 12 nanamis and not one of them was a flop.

i have never seen so many spider-mans in my life

other things:

fig. 1: this extremely hot captain america on a very large poster was about 2 make me act unwise. hi gorjus................................. nice eyebrows

fig 2: i saw this sign a couple blocks away from the con and i did a triple take. 🔥🔥🔥TRIMAX MENTIONED🔥🔥🔥

fig. 3: i saw all 4 hobbits in panel and can confirm elijah wood’s laugh is ten times more infectious in real life. before they were even done sitting down, dominic monaghan switched around all of their name cards so that none of them were seated behind the right name. as u might imagine much of the panel's content was reminiscing about LOTR, but i heard some stories that i hadn't heard before. they also talked about video games, other projects they are working/have worked on, how their kids feel about their dads' LOTR roles, how much they love ian mckellen, and how they would love to see something happen for the 20th anniversary of ROTK this year. sean astin (the legend) took shots at the stranger things writers (basically said joyce could never be happy with hopper) AND EVERYONE CLAPPED LOL. billy and dom talked about the best food in NZ, their show billy and dom eat the world, and the unfortunate events that led to the friendship onion's hiatus. it was a ton of fun to just watch them be themselves with each other, you can tell that these guys are all so fond of each other and love each other so much.

and finally, fig. 4: i bought these beautiful prints from @/batinyourbelfry and the skeletal washi tape from @/skeletalacademia (both on IG)

Everybody: "Sure, the Angry Birds fandom is annoying with how much they've shouted "BringBack2012", but at least they're not queerphobic!

Me: "Just look at the comments under all their Pride posts (at least on YouTube) and see if you're still right."

[thetimelordbatgirl]

Maybe its just me, but maybe its eye-brow raising people in wake of Quiet On Set, are trying to act like Butch Hartman shouldn't be put on Nick's shitty creator's list just because he isn't a predator/creep. Like, well done to him for the bare fucking minimum in not being wtf around kids??? But he literally ended up on those lists because he scammed people for a streaming service that people were led to believe would be just for new animation but in reality Butch had intended for it to be apart of pushing religion onto people...only to fail as he delivered a very breakable website that was quickly deleted and we've heard nothing since on it, let alone for what he's said about stuff like depression and is also an art thief and is literally apart of a church that believes everything can be cured by simply praying, including autism.
