LMAOOOO WHAT. That last reblog(?) was entrenched in the most juvenile whataboutistic rhetoric I have ever seen. To the point where the whole response could be summarised as "well what if I could pretend it's not as you say?" ROFFLLLL

Autore originario

smokestarrules

@le-sam my personal fav part is the 'don't try to control people' like sorry i said that some people need to care more about women and you took that as an insult to you specifically. telling on yourself a little bit there

cluuny

@yxamilover420 the issue isn't "people writing about men" it's "people ignoring women when talking about media"

Autore originario

smokestarrules

@yxamilover420 op here: keywords are “lack of women”. It’s not that people are writing about men, it’s that people are writing about men 90x more

Autore originario

smokestarrules

@yxamilover420 it doesn’t really matter what’s being written; it’s the fact that out of the top 100 ao3 ships, there are very few that involve any women at all, especially f/f ships. It’s not inherently misogynistic to write more about men, but women’s lack of existence in fandom proves that there are many people who don’t consider them interesting characters at all, which /is/ misogynistic.

Autore originario

smokestarrules

@yxamilover420 it's very funny that you literally just regurgitated the talking point I joked about in the post. yes every woman character is more boring than any man character youre so right actually

mationstw

i think it sheds more on how most media use 90% men. the female characters are so often used just as a fan service slave, or barely even important to the plot. Us fic writers dont *have* women to write about. I love writing about women and I love having female characters but theres so FEW in any media that arent just...a fucking accessory to the male main character that its hard to write about them because of their lack of...everything. We need to get more female charact

mationstw

@mationstw i just really with i had women to write about. we need to get media producers to be run by more women and actually have them pass the Bechdel test >:(

mationstw

and i saw your comment OP about how some people just assume "shes a woman. shes boring", and I do not wish to regurgitate that. I mean to state that a lot of female characters, because of their writers that dont bother, arent fleshed out enough. theyre not given the light of day and we need to FIX that. we need to flesh out our female characters more and actually give them a personality rather than just pleasing proportions

vohalika

Lmao "what if the ratio on ff.net is different???" Have you been around fanfiction, it is WORSE. And even more Harry Potter ships would be winning.

Autore originario

smokestarrules

@mationstw no yeah you 100% are correct as well and professional writers are also a huge part of the problem, just not at all the Only problem. im so glad some people can understand the concept of nuance

samusaransimp

@mationstw there's a ton of media with good female characters the fact that you don't engage with any of it is a choice that you are actively making

knife-red

ppl are also ignoring that even in series with like. majority female casts w well written female characters m/m will still have more content like we gotta be real here 🧍

mationstw

@samusaransimp Im sure thats true, but that highlights that,,you need to actively search for good female characters. theyre not a given, which is the problem. I shouldnt need to go 100% out of my way to find a good female character, they SHOULD be in most content. its bad that theyre not. its bad that theyre not just, a given, like male characters are

mationstw

@samusaransimp and also im not *avoiding* female characters and content. it needs to get more traction and be the norm. i dont see a woman and go "ew", i AM a woman, at least at birth. i live through the struggles. i understand the anger and annoyance of living in this male dominated world.

neosaneo

Idk dude MLPs top ships were all f/f... Maybe the problem is what people use fanfiction for?

neosaneo

but I think your point is actually stronger than you give it credit for. A large portion of these "m/m" fanfiction are written really.. girly? Like they talk about their feelings and go to the spa and flirt passively with little commentary on toxic masculinity that's present when people are actively writing these as Subversions.

neosaneo

like if you can turn a male character in a patriarchal society dealing with the fallout of those ideologies like Miguel atsv as a "sweetheart wiremom that only means the best actually" but can't find similar depth in Doc Oc but Female . . . and go out of your way to write genderbent fiction of male characters rather than the chippette equivalent already present in the story... Maybe you need to unpack this "girls = boring" thing in your head

evenstarfalls

@mationstw I agree female characters tend to not be written well or at all however the top 100 had multiple harry potter ships about characters that barely even existed so like. clearly that's not a barrier for some people.

every year the ao3 stats come out and every year people insist that the lack of women isn’t misogyny but because ‘most fic writers are female and therefore enjoy writing about men more’ and every year they don’t seem to understand that they themselves have just described a version of misogyny

fanfic recommendations

for @kittensocute bc i heard “atsukita” and “iwaoi” in reference to fanfiction and i am There

i took your “i love slow burn or slow build fics... so i like relatively shorter burn fics (20-30k). If its a 10k oneshot slow burn hELL SIGN ME UP” and absolutely ran with it.

i listed my fav iwaoi fics (17) with a longer word count (longest is 80k) that are all mostly either canon compliant or divergent with only two straight up AUs. none of them feature heavy nsfw content and most if not all are tagged as friends to lovers lmao. feel free to read the my thoughts or just go into them blind!! and they’re all in order of how much I absolutely adore them :^)

now atsukita is not a big ship *sobs* but here are some of my favorite fics (7) of them! a lot of them are shorter bc i guess that’s just. what happens when it’s a small ship LOL.

the formatting in this is fucked if you open it from ur dash but if it’s on my actual blog it should be fine!

Iwaoi

the courtship ritual of the hercules beetle

Word count: 66k

thoughts: my absolute absolute absolute favorite iwaoi fic. the characterization, the fact that oikawa’s a bastard but because he and iwaizumi are older (late 20s i believe), it feels more realistic and sad rather than oikawa being a bitch for the sake of it. spoiler alert it’s slow burn and pining and mostly oikawa not realizing his feelings. this world building is pretty cool bc iwaizumi is the professional player while oikawa is an entomology professor! also i love non-linear narratives bc of This fic. there’s mutual pining in this fic but it’s really really really subtle to the point where you dont even know if oikawa likes iwa. this made me cry like twice.

sunset towns

Word count: 33k

Summary: In the summer of 2020, Oikawa Tooru returns home from his first successful stint as captain of Japan’s national volleyball team. In one hand, he holds the undisputed weight of an Olympic medal, and in the other, his unresolved feelings for a childhood best friend.

thoughts: the tone in this is So similar to the courtship ritual that I liken this as an alternate story even though it’s still oikawa’s pov. professional player oikawa and regular guy iwaizumi and oikawa is just. bumming around at iwaizumi’s place and naturally he messes up but things happen.

told before and told again

word count: 4k

thoughts: i looked through literally all the tags i could’ve thought of for this and nearly cried when i found it agian. outsider POV!!

In damp earth my body

Word count: 15k

Summary: Onscreen, the nation’s favorite setter has arranged himself so that he’s bowing, forehead pressed to the court, like he’s thanking everyone for their kindness thus far, like he’s asking for forgiveness. Hajime thinks: shit, it’s really happening

thoughts: oikawa retires and moves in with iwaizumi and they blur the line between roommates/best friends and being fwb. this is an iwaizumi pov and the pining is obvious on his end. as a iwa stan the tone made me feel weird bc it makes it seem like iwa cares more abt oikawa than he cares abt himself but. its a good fic

i grew up, you grew down

word count: 19k

thoughts: this is also SO funny bc basically oikawa retires and moves in with iwaizumi and becomes his stay at home wife and a bunch of shit happens like people think that oikawa is dating ushijima and oikawa basically loses it every time. here’s one of my favorite quotes:

“Oikawa also bought a new ultra-strength vacuum cleaner he’d decided to name Ushiwaka out of sheer spite, because it sucked all the air right out of the room. Iwa-chan didn’t think the joke was that funny when Tooru told him, which was frankly very hurtful and insensitive.”

Mint

Word count: 19k

thoughts: iwaizumi is moving and oikawa planned a perfect last hangout and it goes to shit featuring matsuhana. oikawa pov where he pines more than iwa which is something i can get behind!! and this was written in 2015 and iwa’s moving bc of a sports medicine program so iwaizumi stans know and love him sm ;;

Almost a Stranger

Word count: 16k

thoughts: same premise as mint LOL except they’re on a trip together and there’s more non-linear narrative!! this one is a little more mature in tone than mint i would say (funny how people just like splitting them up and throwing them in different countries huh)

with every second that you could give

Word count: 9k

Summary: The journey of Iwaizumi and Oikawa going for gold.

Quote: He knows they’re too close. Iwaizumi knows it too, and they both decided to move in together anyway.

thoughts: iwaoi roommates and they’re both obviously and really pine-y for each other and everyone sees it but them. srsly. they’re sleeping in the same bed. like my god

Lost in Translation

Word count: 9k

Summary: Because misfortune come in threes, Iwaizumi Hajime starts his Thursday having a screaming fight with Shittykawa, spends his lunch break listening to the UCI women’s volleyball team gossiping about how Ushijima Wakatoshi had gone public about his longtime love affair with Oikawa Tooru, and closes out the day by drunkenly dropping his phone into a sewer grate.

thoughts: so funny. so sososoosso genuinely funny. the tone is so snappy and iwaizumi honestly just sounds like a confused teenager (which he is in this) and it gets extra points for including a lot of american culture that a lot of the other iwaoi college au ones don’t include for like. obvious reasons lol.

Something Borrowed

Word count: 16k

Summary: In which Oikawa and Iwaizumi have always been a foregone conclusion to everyone else, but a massive, unanswered question to one another.

thoughts: iwaoi roommates thats abo but it’s like. mentioned twice. whiny and possessive oikawa makes an appearance in this but it’s done really well

things that change, things that stay the same

Word count: 8k

Summary: Oikawa realizes he’s in love with his best friend; it sucks for a while. (But only for a little while.)

thoughts: high school getting together!! my second iwaoi fic ever and this one is just. so sweet. just an unsure oikawa realizing iwaizumi might be more than someone he wants as a best friend. this fic is honestly really really lovely.

galaxies, within you

Word count: 21k

Summary: Hajime and Tooru move in together at the start of university. Too bad they’re stuck with the two gremlins that haunt their apartment.

thoughts: ok this fic was so funny. theyre uni roommates and matsuhana just come fuck shit up and they all act like idiots together even though they go to different schools. and this really throws me back to university days.

Thirty Years and Change (the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad)

Word count: 19k

thoughts: pro! oikawa and iwaizumi haven’t been close for a while until oikawa invites iwaizumi to go to the games with him. there’s a lot of frustration and pining and actually talking about feelings (aka iwaizumi losing his mind and getting advice from people like akaashi)

when it starts to rain, they go inside

Word count: 33k

Summary: “Where?” starts Iwaizumi.“ My parent’s old lakehouse, silly, didn’t you hear me the first time?” OR: Oikawa takes Iwaizumi to his lakehouse for two weeks, post-graduation.

thoughts: this was actually my first iwaoi fic which is funny bc the author doesn’t even like oikawa much and i didnt even ship anything in haikyuu before i read this fic and now im in iwaoi hell. oikawa is really frustrating in this in that it’s basically a really good character analysis on how oikawa comes off as a Mean person all the time bc he’s manipulative and there’s some explicit content

shiver

Word count: 16k

Summary: Oikawa was always the brave one. Hajime just followed two paces behind.

thoughts: iwaoi roommates with oikawa admitting his feelings first back when they were in middle school and iwaizumi putting that thought on the backburner until. obviously. things happen.

Desperado

word count: 80k

thoughts: one of my favorite aus. it’s all from kyoutani’s perspective and it’s almost so au that they’re original characters (if that makes sense). basically iwaoi matsuhana are ex-grifters except iwaoi are estranged and daishou somehow brings everyone back together. excellent world building and reading the pov from someone not involved with the iwaoi drama was refreshing

sing with me a song of conquest and fate

word count: 26k

thoughts: a mythical kings au that’s just. so pretty. iwaizumi ends up becoming oikawa’s servant for some reason and the world building is a+ because you can feel the trust and frustration from both of them build

Atsukita

dreams of me and you

word count: 10k (incomplete)

my second atsukita fic that rly sent me down atskt hell ;; what is essentially post-break up when atsumu gets signed to msby and he’s just Pining and sad for the most part. but the established relationship pre-break up was written really nicely because it just fits my hc of them just being domestic and atsumu being blatantly head over heels

take me home

word count: 4k

i read this this morning and it wrecked me. domestic relationship atsukita?? sign me up

No time like the rest of my life

word count: 19k

mythology au with kita as a regular person and rest of inarizaki as fox spirits! it’s cute and the world building is absolutely lovely but it is an au so they might seem ooc but their core character values are still there

wild blue yonder

word count: 6k

literally full of similes and metaphors and it’s more of an abstract read i guess? but it’s so beautiful and soft and this is exactly how i imagine their relationship

reap and sow

word count: 8k

atsumu confesses and kita ignores him and it’s a couple years after the fact and it’s mostly just weirdly domestic almost roommate like except for the fact that atsumu makes it clear he likes kita LOL. they’re really in character for this!

weightless souls

word count: 2k

pillow talk before atsumu’s first game! the atsumu pov and voice is amazing

if we were both alone

word count: 7k

now this was actually my first atskt fic that sent me down this rare pair hell. it’s an explicit chat fic (both tropes i usually try to avoid) but atsumu types like me (except for the nsfw parts alksfjd) so i guess i like. feel appreciation LMAO.

if you do read like any of these fics pls let me know so we can discuss

♡＼(￣▽￣)／♡

#iwaoi #atsukita #i added some more on friday feb 19!

congrats on the followers!! you deserve it! i don’t know if I can’t see it/ I’m big dumb and missed it/ someone already asked- but I need a denki weed hc i just know that mf clears a bong like it’s his mf j o b

THANK U SO MUCH MY LOVE ( ˘ ³˘)♡︎♡︎ u didn’t miss it! hehe I just haven’t done it yet

I am fuckin READY for this denks stoner hc, I was born for it, I foam for him, he can literally smoke me up and leave me there greened out & I’d thank him. I’m a grade A: S-I-M-P for stoner Denki, lets fookin go lads

𝐷𝐸𝑁𝐾𝐼

Mister Kaminari the Plug Denki himself, finally. We’ve all established that hes not a regular stoner, he’s the blueprint

Top tier fuckboy stoner to the Tee, will offer girls to smoke them out at his and obnoxiously flirt with them the whole time. His pick-up line’s basically: I’ve got weed at mine, wanna’ come over? (I’d be there yesterday, pussy out)

That being said he doesn’t get pussy all that often, he gets too high & weed dick hits him and cockblocks him like a fuckin truck. He’s learning, though

Ridiculous collection of bongs, pipes, grinders, scales, his whole room looks like a dodgy weed shop where the owner checks out your tits before your fake ID

King of reading girls with the flavoured paper he uses. He may be bad at chatting them up normally, but he’ll know exactly what flavour of Juicy Jay to whip out for you. His personal fav’s mello mango, bcos he likes it sweet and tangy and it matches his eyes. Dumb stupid cheesy romantic.

Has an embarrassing section of pokemon-themed smoking accessorries. His fav & go-to is his massive pikachu bong, and if he uses that bong, he has to use the pokeball grinder. It’s some dumb superstition but he claims it’s his ‘brand’

Once upon a time he tried to light a bowl with his quirk, bcos he thought electricity can somehow generate fire. Idk don’t ask me I failed physics and clearly so did he. Now he just asks Bakugou to light it if he’s not got a lighter with him

Go-to munchies craving is watery mac n cheese or pizza with random chips he can find on it that he’ll dip in peanut butter or nutella. Standard really, no one’s surprised

Flirty high, funny high, giggly high, honestly would sell an organ to get fucking frassed outta my mind with him

Cuddly high too, super touchy esp if he’s with a girl. Will use it as an excuse to cuddle into her tits or her lap, cracks the shittiest jokes where they’ll both laugh at him rather than the joke

Dumb conspiracy theories, can and will chat about literally anything. He’ll smoke up by himself all the time and just put some dumb animal planet shit on TV (or pokemon)

Gets me h* just thinkin bout it but my man clears the bong like it is no body’s business; like it’s his mf day job, night job, and side hustle, all at once. One hit and inhales it all like a fuckin champ. Doesn’t cough, doesn’t flinch, he’s a purebred certified legend. Deffo going down in stoner history.

Rolls the fucking prettiest straightest joints known to mankind, Guinness World Record of the most perfect gd joint award. His pretty dainty fingers are pure magic, he can backstrap with his eyes closed and hands behind his back. Can roll in 5 secs flat. Truly, in every essence of the word, iconique

Indica, sativa, hybrid, shatter, dabs, edibles he’ll do them all, depending on the occasion. Weed pen with THC oil if he’s tryna be lowkey, shatter pen if he’s tryna impress, hits the dab bcos hes a walking talking meme first and a pikachu-hybrid man second.

Prefers weed candy over baked pastry, thinks theyre cuter and more ‘portable’

Summer 2016 rap music, Lil Uzi Vert vs The World, Drake, Rae Sremmurd, shitty fuckboy music. Also has a high sex playlist bcos he’s a beg and he thinks he’s gonna get laid

Hotboxes his dorm all the time, they’ve stopped tryna stop him bcos they realized he’s high all the time anyways, and fears how feral he’ll be if he’s sober

Favourite headcanon for Jal? Favourite canon Carvie moment? Favourite headcanon for Malvie? Ship you really don't like and why? 🕸💜

ohhh..... oh you understand me....

fav jal hc:

I have to pick... one? this will come as a surprise to absolutely no one but I fucking adore jal their relationship is just so... *chefs kiss* like honestly theres no one who understands mal better than jay and I fucking mean that but the underrated side of it is that goes both ways... nobody understands jay like mal does. it’s just like this unspoken trust this unspoken understanding between them that’s just uncomplicated and simple and I love it I rlly do. that’s not a hc tho akajwjJWJWKKAK

favorite hc... aw shit I dunno. there’s so many ajsjjekwk I fucking ADORE when jay and mal have this like, playfully antagonistic relationship where their constantly bantering and teasing each other but are like. SUPER protective of each other when it actually comes down to it. mm. that is my shit. it’s not a love-hate thing by any means they just like to make fun of each other. I also LOVE them being super competitive while evie and carlos are watching like “are they done yet”

favorite canon carvie moment:

oh god I’m so glad you asked about carvie skdkdkjwn carvie was actually the first descendants ship that I was actually like. into. because when I first watched the movies I wasn’t super fond of either of their canon love interests so I was like haha then just put them together?

I always try to draw more from the movies than the books because (controversial opinion time) I don’t. like the books very much BUT I have read the first two and that scene in the first book where evie finds out carlos doesn’t have a blanket and her immediate reaction is to give him hers is just. utter perfection like it’s so telling of their true personalities like she sees this kid who has less than she does and she just wants to help him and they’re both really confused because arent they supposed to be evil? but he takes the blanket anyway and they just. never speak of it again. I love it

in terms of the movies I’ll be honest we get Fucking scraps in terms of any interaction between evie and carlos but there is this moment at the end of d2 here theyre both leaning on the edge of the boat at cotillion and they have short solo verses about moving on from painful pasts but accepting it for having shaped who they are and their like. holding hands and honestly it always makes me go batshit

favorite headcanon for malvie:

smtg that i think sparrow @hersilentlanguage came up with a while back that I’ve been like lowkey obsessed with ever since is the possibilites for a fairytale subversion with malvie because like.. evie is a princess. mal is a scary dragon. they fall in love? fucking perfection honestly because it subverts the idea that the princess needs to be saved from the dragon AND it plays w the idea that monsters aren’t monsters but rather are just perceived as Other... I don’t know maybe I’m thinking too much about this but I really do just like that shit

ship I don’t like and why:

oh god aowkkdckkwjs everyone knows what I’m gonna say. it’s d/evie I’m just not into that one bit. doug is like. I’m gonna be real. kind of a creep? like following evie around and eavesdropping on her conversations? and it’s like Okay I get it she’s the daughter of the evil queen he’s the son of one of the seven dwarves. I Understand What You’re Going For. doesn’t mean he has to be Kind Of A Creep

Idk and assuming evie was cheating on him in d2 reeeaaally rubs me the wrong way like I KNOW I am AWARE that it’s a joke scene and I KNOW it’s a haha funny evies mom is a golddigger! joke but akekkdkskdkdk jay and carlos came up with a shit lie indeed for why she wasn’t around but WHY was Doug walking around looking for evie in the middle of the night ANYWAY

idk though... if someone rewrote doug to be Not Weird itd probably be p cute yknow with how he’s not a prince blah blah subversions we all know. and fanon of them is prob fine (not that I’ve seen any lol)

#tysm for sending this i love rambling

haunting of bly manor on netflix review -

i tried not to put big spoilers in it. its about like.. a lady from america who becomes a live in nanny to two young siblings, in a big old mysterious? house in england.

overall - 8 /10 , maybe im just biased cause it had some of my fav parts of scary movies in it/personal fav parts of genres

[cons] -personally - i dont like when supposedly scary movies are about ppl dying sadly/theres characters who are actually nice who you actually get attached to and thenn, they suffer! (although technically i guesss that is what causes “haunting”, in its title. its like, im looking for a Scary which is secretly supposed to be found to be scary[-fun], not scary-Sad!. sad deaths/characters make me sad. like when cute kids in it are also sad and upset and they surely dont deserve it :p. bums me out. i guess i dont mind so much, if, -if youre gonna have to harm someone, that id rather theyre someone im not so attached to in the first place lols. id rather not feel sentimental whilee watching a movie thats also scary lols. too many feelings at once for me lols . also, i appreciate a movie tryingg to explain things well or make it interesting, but sometimes it cann get too complicated . thats where ya lose me. [thats kinda not that personal that can also be a critique in genderal.] its like if you keep it clear enough even if its simple, it could be a better story.

pros objectively - good characters, and gd chemistry between characters - they were all pretty distinct and interesting enough, had their own styles and mannerisms and personality. gd dialogue - relateable enough and realistic enough - heh ilke when the gardener tries to cheer the nanny up, that was like kind of a well thought out specific unique and still funny joke lols. or when the nanny uses her teacher-voice to say relateable things to the kids or to discipline them well and properly and fairly/justly and calmly - those were awesome and accurate like real life, very familiar in a specific, recognizable way. nicely done visually/cinematically - made everything look good, didnt make anything too confusing, clear enough. like it let us explore all the interesting places and no scenes were too dark to see whats going on or anything lols. which is good because sometimes a show takes place in what lookss like wouldd be an interesting setting, but we never really get to use the space much or see its details [well], or look at any of the cool parts about it, very well! plot was good - got stuck a couple times in a few ways, but atleast it did have good closure. thats hard to nail in spooky/scary stories. its also good that there was diversity representation in the characters’ races and kinds of romances so thats always important to diversify in the media so people arent ignorant and plus its less predictable and ^realistic.

cons objectively- really lost me in the episodes w hopping and flashbacks a lot, even though i guess it explained a few things. idk i think we couldve done without the entire dream bit cause it went over my head and i dont see thatt well how it fits with the rest of things very much anyway. i think it couldvee stuck with just the first owner’s story which seems to explain most of the mysteries anyway, and still be a great plot overall. also its not much of a big deal but in the end, that was supposed to be whats her name, the gardener but she wasnt even consistant in her style it was so out of character. like whats that hair style?? its too modern and boring/basic-betch , shes a chill, grounded, rough person so i think she shouldve kinda had a softer wavier hair style at least like she usually had . doesnt have to be the same, but atleast better match her character. i guess there were a few kind of minor plot pieces that i didnt hear/understand their explaination . but maybe if i thought about it more, or figure that those were just idk symbolic details or something lols, then id get it. -atleast the most important plot points have been explained. or if they kept the confusing plotline to help explain things, i wish they couldve made it a bit simpler to be more understandable . aint nobody tryina think that hard about it to understand things in a show ha . idk i think the wind up leading to the end , through the middle of the last episode when we werent sure if the girl was doomed yet or not [is that what it was that dragged on for me?] , dragged on a bit too somehow. or i wouldve been happy too if it ended like 10 minutes into the last episode when everything was at peace, even though thats too peaceful of an ending for a spooky story lols. also the bride in the beginning and ending who hears the story is a kind of bad actress or has awkward lines so it makes things corny lols. which its hard to not cross that line in spooky stories, from believeable and relateable and genuine enoughh to spook ya cause its barely believeable/relateable, - into corny.

pros personally- love big old gothic houses, theyve got character. love love stories, and mixing genres in a show or movie! like love, sad, and spooky. love it being more spooky and a thinker kinda rather than gory which could always be too easy of a scare. and lots of botony heh [in the romance] which i always love. in real life heh. i also dont really like body horror lols even though it couldve been worse here i guess. i know its supposed to be like, symbolic though :p. i like how - there wass a specific message/themes they were trying to be about in this show, but - idk, before we realizedd that, it was kind of amusing how the random suspicious jumpscares/problems that happen aree kinda like, making you/trickingg you to thinkk, that the story could justt be any of the clichee scary stories - but thenn its a pleasant surprise that even though you thought it was gonna be a cliche predictable plot, its actually much more elaborate in a good way lols. i also like “”gothic”“ and kinda spooky but not likeee verY scarY ha. cause gothic is likee, a lookk/mood!!

so yeah, i liked this in general, and would recommend it in general and might watch most of it again in halloween season lols. i like it because its sophisticated and relateable enough, graceful, cute enough - balanced so its not tooo much of anythingg and just enoughh of different things that would make any show enjoyable enoughh, i thinkk . good in all the ways it matters, in all the important ways. generally doesnt get campy in the parts of the show where that would matter lols. i liked it better than the other series apparently also by this director or whatever, “haunting of hill house”. i think “bly manor” was better in nearly every way lols .

#reviews #tv #haunting of bly manor #on netflix #spooky #halloween season shows to watch possibly!

Can we have a situation where one of tge brothers misunderstands a conversation shes having with claire on the phone about a group of 10 somethings like say plush toys or tv characters abd says “out of all 10 of them i gotta day he’s my favorite” abd they think she has a favorite brither and theyre all determined to “subtly” find out who it is

I love this ask so much.

———-

~ It would start on a typical Saturday morning. The brothers are in the hallway, doing their normal things: causing chaos. Luke is rockin’, Lars is sitting on the stairs reading, Lane is telling his jokes with Mrs. Coconuts, Lexx and Lynn are racing, etc.

~ Meanwhile, Linka is in her room, avoiding all the chaos. She loves her brothers’ insanity, but she is deciding to take a break for one Saturday. She’s talking to Claudia on her phone about a new TV show they watched that has ten main characters.

~ After chasing his lizard Lizzy trying to protect her from Lexx’s car, Leif grabs her by Linka’s door. But he stops when he hears Linka’s voice.

~ “My favorite. Out of all ten of them?” Linka says through the door. Leif puts Lizzy in his pocket and puts his ear up to the closed door to hear better. “I mean, if I have to choose it’s gotta be him,” she continues.

~ Leif worries she’s talking about her brothers.

~ [pause for a couple seconds] “Yes! It has to be him. Thinking about it now, the choice is obvious.”

~ Leif, now freaking out, he runs through the hallway and calls an emergency brother meeting.

~ The boys meet in Loki and Loni’s room and Leif tells them what he overheard. The brothers are confused, and ask why she would have a favorite out of them.

~ However, immediately, Luke proudly claims her favorite brother to be him. He says it’s because Linka loves his music and hangs out with him more than any of the other idiots. But Levi rebuttals, saying she likes hanging out with all of them, no matter the length she does so. And that just because she loves his music, doesn’t mean he’s the favorite. Which earns him a scowl from Luke.

~ Loni says he could be the favorite because he’s the only one who willingly does girly things with her. Lexx claims the title because their royal fashion shows are actually her favorite thing. Lane believes it’s him because he knows how to make her laugh. But Lars thinks it’s him because he’s the only one she can go to for deserved peace and quiet and she likes his poems and drawings. Levi states it’s him because he allows her to play with his machines… sometimes. Then Lynn claims to be the favorite, making the other boys laugh because he makes her more angry than any of them, which Lynn retaliates. Leon says “fav Yinka!”

~ The boys start arguing over each other. Loki bangs his show on the table to stop them and get their attention. He asks why they should care because she doesn’t have a favorite, she loves all of them.

~ Leif suggests that they should figure out who the favorite brother is. And states that if she does have a favorite, it will be a younger brother, i.e. him.

~ Loki repeats that they don’t have to, she doesn’t have a favorite. [pause] And adds that even if she did, it’d be him because she goes to him for advice before any of the other idiots and that he helps her instead of bothers her.

~ The idiots continue to argue about the reasons. Loki bangs his shoe again and asks them if they really care about figuring out who Linka loves more than the rest of them.

~ The boys say they should. And Leif tells Loki to admit he cares as well.

~ …Loki then asks them what they should do to “subtly” figure out who the favorite brother is.

~ “Subtly” in quotes.

~ Their first plan: the boys ask their sister subtle questions, definitely not having to do with the favorite brother topic.

~ Linka walks around the house talking with Claudia. And she gets pestered by her brothers.

~ “Hey, little sis! I got a question. Take yer pick: would you rather spend yer whole day jamming’ to music or-” “On the phone, Luke.” [Luke sadly looks down as she leaves] “Hey, Linky! Wanna help me with a debate about-” “Lexx. I’m talking to someone.” [Lexx looks down frowning] “Hey, Link! About our playing sports together-” “Lynn! On the phone!” [Lynn looks after her worried] “Hey, Linka! Out of all of our brothers, who do you-” “Oh my Gosh, Loni, I’m on the phone! Tell the others that, too, stop interrupting me!”

~ Plan A doesn’t work. The boys are in Loki and Loni’s room again. As they talk about their next plan, Levi suggests he could build something to get the truth out. Loki is hesitant, thinking Levi will electrocute her or something. But Levi assures them she’ll be alright.

~ Loki still doesn’t trust him, but whatever.

~ Levi spends a few minutes building and comes out with a satellite-like gadget. He explains if it corresponds with her phone signals, they’ll be able to hear what’s happening on the phone.

~ Loni is against this, saying it’s bad to spy on her phone call, even for a very important answer. But Levi ignores him and prepares to set it up in the living room.

~ Linka walks into the living room from the kitchen, still on her call. When Levi sees her, he starts using a controller to the satellite to turn it on and point it towards her cell.

~ It immediately gets a good signal, and Levi’s smile grows a bit sinister.

~ However, the curious sister spots the machine and delves in for a closer look. She touches the antenna and her phone starts getting staticy. The squealing of the phone rings in her eardrum, causing a stinging in her ear. Holding her ear with her left wrist, she spots a button. Out of curiosity and thinking the satellite is responsible for the static, she presses the button. Before walking into the kitchen.

~ Panicked, Levi runs down to the machine and right after he arrives, it explodes, leaving him hurt and dirty.

~ The boys run down and see Levi all messed up. Leif adds injury by punching him for installing a dang self-destruct button.

~ They grovel over how their stupid plan B didn’t work. Suddenly, Luke’s ear twitches and pokes his head in the kitchen doorway.

~ “I don’t know, Claudi, it’s hard to choose a favorite.”

~ Luke pops back in the living room, telling the boys he’s heard Linka talking to Claudia about her favorite. They all gather round to listen to her.

~ Linka mentions the musician, making Luke smile and pose in triumph… before she says he’s cool, but he is super loud and obnoxious. Luke looks down heartbroken. The other bros secretly smile at each other.

~ She states the goth should stop being dreary once in a while and smile for once, making Lars gasp, thinking she doesn’t like him more.

~ She says she ain’t a fan of the sporty one, thinking he’s a jerk and dumb, making Lynn gasp in anger.

~ She complains that the dirty one is way too disgusting for her, making Leif scoff.

~ She says the funny one needs to work on his comedy cause he barely makes her laugh, replacing Lane’s smile with a frown.

~ She thinks the prince is a selfish brat, infuriating Lexx.

~ She says the small one does nothing but cry and whine, which makes Leon put his pacifier in his mouth to keep him from crying.

~ She mocks the “dumbest of them all,” making the boys look at the oblivious Loni.

~ She’s annoyed that the smart and gifted one should shut up about his intelligence, everyone knows already. Levi furrow his brows.

~ That leaves Loki. The oldest brother stands and smiles smugly, believing his prediction as the favorite brother to be true, while the other boys are left shocked and hurt.

~ However, Linka suddenly says the phone talker could put down his phone and actually act like being with his loved ones. This angers Loki, knowing it to not be true, but still hurts him. The boys look at each other disappointed and sad.

~ But then, she starts another odd chain. She says while the musician can be obnoxious, he’s still cool and fun; the dark one deep and creative; the sporty one tough and strong; the dirty one knowledgeable and cute; the comedy one clever and potentially very funny; the prince fierce; the small one adorable and huggable; the dumbest one open and honest; the smart one inventive and intelligent in a good way; and the phone talker does care about his loved ones and looks after them well. The boys are cheered up, but they’re back to square one.

~ They meet back up in Loki and Loni’s room and sit in silence for a few minutes with disappointed smiles. In the middle of their silence, they hear Linka’s footsteps on the stairs and down the hallway to her room. They’re salty and upset they weren’t able to figure out which one of them Linka favors. She said both negative and positive things about them. So they have no idea what to do.

~ Which one of them could their sister love more than the others?

~ One of the boys breaks the silence saying how much time they wasted to come up with nothing. Soon enough, all of them start to argue why they would and wouldn’t be the favorite. Though, they don’t notice they also argue about why she would have one in the first place.

~ The brothers then all get into a fight cloud that leads out into the hallway by the stairs.

~ After that, Linka leaves her room, hears her brothers and greets them, but notices their fighting. She gets annoyed and asks what they’re fighting about this time. The brothers stop fighting and look up at her. They then confront her and ask her who her favorite brother is.

~ Linka asks them what in the heck they’re talking about. Leif tells her he overheard her telling Claudia who her favorite brother is, angering Linka for eavesdropping on her call, and they all argued today about who it could be. And they want to know who it is.

~ Linka laughs and tells them she wasn’t talking about them. She was talking about a new show she and Claudia discovered that has ten main characters and she was trying to choose a favorite out of them.

~ Standing dumbfounded for a couple seconds. Lexx punches Leif and Luke berates him for misunderstanding her.

~ Linka teases them, thinking it’s sweet they felt insulted that they thought she had a favorite out of them. The boys stand awkward and embarrassed by their fatal mistake.

~ Linka looks at them with a sad smile, and she tells them she could or would never pick a favorite out of them. She thinks they’re all awesome idiots in their own ways and she loves them all equally. Leif hugs her and the boys have small smiles, all secretly satisfied their sister loves them so much.

~ They settle that and Linka threatens them to never eavesdrop on her calls again, and heads downstairs.

~ The next morning, the brothers are causing chaos in the hallway again. Linka is in her room talking to Claudia again. She tells her about her brothers’ crazy thoughts the previous day.

~ “Don’t you have a favorite?” “Of course I don’t! Why would I?” “I mean, you do have a lot.” “Well, they’re my brothers, not cartoon characters.”

~ Hearing the insanity outside her room, Linka bids Claudia goodbye and hangs up. And happily joins in on her brothers’ chaos.

So sorry this took so long! (this is one of my favorite stories) Hope you like it :)

P.S. this is definitely a canon scenario

got tagged by @nowprisoner-24601 😄 thank you, im having a hard time staying awake rn, so this helps pass the time!

Nickname: Just Cars, and now theres this inside joke that keeps going (proly past its death day) that all cars are my cousins, and that im going to die by someone yelling "CAR" and im gonna turn, thinking theyre talking to me, and get hit😅 i live in a small suburb, so nobody really acts threatened by cars, so its p likely

Gender: I go with whatever, most people go with she/her just cuz thats my birth one, i can confuse people pretty easily with a dress shirt and a tie tho!

Astrology: Im an Aries on the cusp of pisces!

height: 5'5" tho im still in the short range of my school...

sexuality: wlw? ace definitly, maybe aro? been ace aro for like 4 years, so i just stick with that

hogwarts house: even mix between slytherin and ravenclaw!

Fav animals: boxelder bugs, weird enough, i thought they were fireflies when i was a kid, and would protect them in the winter, now theyre just friendly faces to me!

Number of Blankets: as many as possible, i have a high heat tolerance, i wear plaids during the 90° temps around here a lot, and my cats sleep on any blankets any time they go into my room, so i have to have a lot so i have one to be in when i walk around my house

Where Im From: Would rather not say just cuz i still live in the same area :p

Dream Trip: Road trip to the East Coast tbh, id LOVE to see the Smithsonian, Broadway, New York, the ocean, all the colonial history, mountains, and road trips in general are a lotta fun with the right people, either coast would be great but west coast has plains for dsys and i think id go a bit crazy without seeing a forest for more than a couple hours, it feels not natural to not have ANY😖

When I created this account: Jesus, proly 2015? 2016? i dont wanna check cuz i know i reblogged cringey stuff and mobile makes that painfully slow anyways

Why I created this Account: i think my friend pushed me into it, cuz i hated instagram with a passion, and ifunny was too sexist and they showed me some funny posts from here, then i proly started using it regularly when i got into reylo when it was the hot new discourse

yeet idk who to tag cuz mobile wont let me turn this into a draft without posting so whoever wants to!

topic 1: food

i dont care if its breakfast, lunch, dinner or midnight snack. the only food that will satisfy my hunger is a caesar salad. and if your dressing isn't wishbone then i dont want it (mainly because new wishbone tastes like italian vinaigrette which used to be my fav). i dont know, i just really love lettuce like a pregnant woman. not that i'm pregnant. unless im the next virgin mary then that would be hilarious lmao. i think it comes down to me being used to be a lettuce and cabbage farmer. they were my favorite to grow and i'm always going to love them.

However, you couldn't PAY ME to eat a horrific holocaust of oceans of grease, mountains of salt, and disgusting amounts of cheap nasty carbs - all of these abomination in the form of pizza. I just don't get people's obsession about greasy burgers and pizza. When my coworkers would order pizza/burger i just lose my appetite instantly. I don't know, after just one bite i easily get tired of its taste. If you really want to get fat that much then theres a lot of food out there that are actually tasty. Pizza has lost its appeal to me once I've seen 'my 600 lbs life'. For me its nothing but just a disgusting food for people with unhealthy diet, no matter how fancy you make it to be. Even my italian love for jojo's bizarre adventure part 5 can't even convince me.

topic 2: frens

I really appreciate that my best friends like me for who i am and just see my sassy attitude as something quirky and funny to them. However, i am really not the same person i was in 2020 and i dont really feel insecure/bitter anymore about anything. I aint got no time for that. I just simply dont concern myself about others lives to even react or care about them. I dont want to and honestly, I'm too busy too care. Even theyre talking about gossips about someone i know i just become quiet and get genuinely bored because i dont really give a fuck. And were talking about gossiping by introverts, which is different from gossiping with just anyone. I'm still not that interested. Like i said i have more shit i'm too preoccupied about. I'm sorry I dont spend my day thinking about people and their lives. 😒🤷🏻‍♀️ I dont even have time to feel bad that im not updated about the latest gossips/current events, honestly its less burden to me that i dont get to do any kind of emotional labor because really i would rather find answers to questions about physics and and artificial intelligence rather than hearing about someone's upcoming wedding and relationship problems. Its not that i dont care about my friends but come on, i don't really need to know someone's every fucking activities. i dont need to hear every breathe you take or every move you make. sorry, but i don't spend my life being an orbiter

I also feel like kind of disconnected to a few of my friends, mainly because i'm annoyed that they're very reliant on me. I hate when people rely on me because im a very independent person. Like i dont expect from you so dont expect anything from me either. Were all on our own. If were supposed to make each others lives easier then it should be a fair trade. I dont have resources to give anything to anyone for nothing. Low effort and thoughtlessness really turns me off. If you cant even do the bare minimum then i dont have time for you either. I am too jaded and busy to give free service. I don't have time to waste, and if you do, good for you but don't drag me down with you

[Superfruit part 1 im so sorry] YOOO I GOTTA ASK;; Why do you hate zombies?? I mean I know you said you "can't handle" but,,, what does that mean? I ask bc I can't fucking stand zombies movies,, the idea has never made sense to me (I mean come on really?? Dead people eating people wow,,, it's like someone just chose a couple scary things [the dead and being eaten alive] and said whatever let's mash it up) and most of the time it isn't even handled properly;;

[Superfruit part 2] I mean think about it,, the way most zombies are pictured, there's no way they could move bc they're either missing the necessary muscles or they're so torn up there's no way I mean I loved zombieland bc it was funny,, and the resident evil series was okay bc there was a little more to it;; but zombie movies that are made to just be "scary" are the dumbest shit to me[Superfruit part 3] I mean you could argue that werewolves couldn't work either but I think that "what if someone had a disease that transformed them into a hideous wolf like beast" Is better than "what if we totally ignore how anatomy works" Also I never got the whole eating people thing?? Why are they eating people??[Superfruit part4] Again, I could argue that werewolves have the mind of a wild animal;; zombies are just moving around in big ole groups eating people?? What?? If it's a ""they're reverted back to basic instincts to feed"" thing why don't they try and eat each other they're still eating why are they immune Anyway uh :')) I guess I'm asking if you're just scared of zombies or think they're stupid haha,, this got a little long my bad

ummm i think i just dont like the concept of zombies? i can handle stupid shit, paranormal ghost movies are my fav and theyre always dumb as shit but i guess its like, the idea of zombies once being people that bugs me?

idk i cant really explain it cause i dont mind gore, and i dont mind stupid implausible stuff, i just. zombies leave a bad taste in my mouth. i dont like most zombie media being “humans are the REAL monsters” and i dont like the idea of mindless flesheaters. werewolves just being mindless animals is boring and sad to me, so i guess it just is 40x that with zombies.

i guess you can say im just scared of zombies, its a gross and sad concept to me and i dont really want to imagine people like friends and family becoming zombies haha. even though ghosts are just like, one step away from zombie id just rather watch a ghost movie than a zombie one

#tm ask #everyone just has their least fave area and zombies happen to be mine #prob mostly cause i never like stories revolving around zombies i guess #Anonymous

The archive for the Comic Tea Party week long chat that occurred from March 11th, 2019 to March 17th, 2019. The chat focused on Raison d'Etre by Cloud Fourteen (Funari and Leigh).

Featured Comment:

Chat:

RebelVampire

COMIC TEA PARTY- WEEK LONG BOOK CLUB START!

Hello and welcome everyone to Comic Tea Party’s Week Long Book Club~! This week we’ll be focusing on Raison d’Etre by Cloud Fourteen (Funari & Leigh)~! (http://raisondetrecomic.com/)

You are free to read and comment about the comic all week at your own pace, so stop on by whenever it suits your schedule! Remember, though, that while we allow constructive criticism, our focus is to have fun and appreciate the comic. Below you will find four questions to get you started on the discussion. However, a new question will be posted and pinned everyday (between 12:01AM and 6AM PST), so keep checking back for more! You have until March 17th to tell us all your wonderful thoughts! With that established, let’s get going on the reading and the chatting!

QUESTION 1. What has been your favorite scene in the comic so far? What specifically did you like about it?

QUESTION 2. What do you believe are the nature and origin of Sachiko’s secret powers that make her Kregor’s target? What, if anything, might they have to do with Allie? What about the powers has supposedly killed Sachiko’s ancestors?

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

Yo! Funari here and I will make the time to check on messages this week when I can! Leigh and I will joint-answer through my name. I'll make sure to note when Leigh is answering :3 (ex. Leigh currently says "hello ") We can't wait to hear your thoughts!(edited)

RebelVampire

QUESTION 3. At the moment, who is your favorite character? What about that character earns them this favor?

QUESTION 4. Why do you think Yukina was so insistent on going to France after Sachiko and Koyomiko disappeared? In what ways has she or her life changed that might help or hurt her future goals? What is up with her new memory powers?

RebelVampire

1) im gonna name two cause i can and nobody can stop me. the first more serious one is the scene where kregor shows up for rie and then the fight rolls out. ive really come to appreciate how the event is laid out since things go from great to bad to whoops life changing catastrophe. its made especially sad just cause rie and sachiko were so close to kind of resolved their spat but whoops, no resolution for anybody. it was just a great scene that really upped the stakes and kind of changed the course of the path in a was that was refreshing and unexpected. the second scene im gonna pick is that small like 2 page scene where kregor is sick and elianne told him to rest. Like...legit did not expect that. As far as their relationship has been shown, it seemed angry and more boss/employee. But apparently Elianne cares a little bit about Kregor and i just love that. 3) right now its koneko. Cause Koneko's motivations and origin is a mystery i want to see delved into now. Koneko seems to be pulling lots of strings in the bg and this has really got me intrigued. And selfishly i just basically love a good mystery character who is definitely immensely more than they appear.(edited)

RebelVampire

2) So umm, going with Occam's razor on this theory. It seems most likely some ancestor of Sachiko got down with an umbrian probably. Some umbrian who was probably related to Elianne. Or maybe even Elianne cause who am i to judge how old Elianne is. I 100% think Allie is the manifestation of the powers and they're just all kind of shadow related. I just assume the ancestors were killed because theyre not the sort of powers the human body is supposed to be able to handle. 4) Honestly, I don't have good theories about the france choice. Although I do think that it might have been emotionally driven. Like people who suffer really horrific events usually don't want to be in places that remind them of it. So it makes sense Yukina would just want to gtfo of there. And France is at least semi familiar and has Cassandra. I think in terms of life change, I think shes just mostly matured more. So in essence is more fit to handle some of the emotional complications of what she needs to do. As for the memory powers, well, she is biologically Sachiko's daughter or so has been confirmed. And if Sachiko has weird powers that get her hunted, it stands to reason Yukina probably inherited something too. Something that might be muddling her normal Ascendant powers perhaps. But I definitely think she'll find a way to use it to help Sachiko and Koyomiko.

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

Koneko is a beloved character for sure. He is cute, he is cuddly (great for comfort!) He is...also apparently kinda good for saving lives!

And I had to look up what Occam's Razor was oop. But that's what Google is for! It IS a rather interesting take. We like to mix simple reasons within some complex ones to keep folks guessing. Is this one of the simple ones? We'll have to wait and see how it unfolds Though the "Elianne is litterally related to Sachiko" theory is one of the more popular ones even within the C14 server so you're not alone there!

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

One thing we can confirm, though, is that, yes...Yuki moved to France to get away from the bad reminders, the bad memories. Sadly it was just too much after the incident happened...The move wasn't an instant cure, either, but over time, it helped. She did meet a new girlfriend there!

snuffysam

One thing I'm curious about is when Allie first started appearing, how Sachiko reacted to her new powers, and so on. We haven't seen the shadow powers in any of the journal flashbacks in Part One, and we know Yukina's memory powers didn't start manifesting until recently, so maybe there's a connection there.

Alternatively, maybe Kregor REALLY goofed up that torture prison spell he used on Sachiko that one time and accidentally gave her some of Elianne's power.

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

Special 5 is a pretty fun read regarding that :3

http://www.raisondetrecomic.com/uastitle.html (for those that have read at least up to Ch 5, otherwise it's spoilers~)

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

The question hasn't been fully answered, but hints have happened for a bit, kinda leading to Part 2 (which will finally explain it...over time, heh)(edited)

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

A lot of the stuff since Chapter 5 has been with the help of Leigh. She's a really good writer that can put all these ideas together well while still keeping some things secret until "the time is right". I had a direction I wanted to go with this, but tended to get too wordy or expositiony at times. She helped reel that back a bit and organize it.

She's also good at working with what she's given even if it's not a lot, and boy, did I give her a hodge-podge of stuff from Part 1 lol But it's coming along nicely, I think~

She said she loves that @RebelVampire was surprised and enjoyed the sick!Kregor-Elianne interaction from Ch 6

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

If you guys don't mind, we would like to add our personal answers to Question #1~ For Leigh, it's a tie between two scenes in particular. One is Elianne's "I CAN'T LEAVE THIS PLACE!" scene in Chapter 6, especially the cats in the background as it's happening... and Nozomi's spectacular toss of Miko in Chapter 4 ("GET OUT")...especially when you consider how small Nozomi is (she's almost 5 feet tall exactly) As for me...it's kinda hard to pinpoint just one or two xD But I think I kinda like Special 3 in general. Especially for this page alone

RebelVampire

QUESTION 5. What has been your favorite illustration in the comic so far? What specifically about it do you like?

QUESTION 6. Do you believe that Yukina will be able to save Sachiko and Koyomiko? How might the lessons from the journals help Yukina in this endeavor? Do you think she still has more insight to gleam from them?

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

Journal lessons, huh? > :D (SFW, just a little silly; a recent question answered)

AV-chan

Here's some of my inputs but I'll have to answer what I can still remember. In regards to Yuki's powers, I sense that it's either an evolved form of Sachiko's powers or branch type since Yuki does need to touch someone to activate it. Who knows what surprises we'll see I think I mentioned a fav scene before but I'll input another recent one that I liked... It's the specials where Miko was training to get buff again and Nozomi taunts her until she goes all out

That answer is really funny and cute @Funari (Raison d’Etre)

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

Oh yes. GET IN SHAPE!! (We hope to get the final part out soon but it has a good pause point atm!)

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

We're really enjoying the Yuki's powers theories by the way!

snuffysam

6) You know, I'm not sure Yukina will be the one to save Sachiko and Koyomiko. The animal buddies seem to be doing a decent job already, and I'm not sure they'll recruit some kid to help them. Though she could use her powers to restore their memories once they're rescued?

RebelVampire

that just makes me picture yukina slamming the door dramatically saying "I'm here to save you." and then everyone and the cats are just having tea saying nah we good.

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

Lmao

That's a pretty hilarious image xD

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

Aaand...a picture happened.

RebelVampire

omg thats great XDXDXDXD

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

Thank you

RebelVampire

QUESTION 7. Which characters do you enjoy seeing interact the most? What about their dynamic interests you?

QUESTION 8. Who exactly is Koyomiko’s pet cat and why did Elianne call him a renegade? Who is his white haired companion helping him? Why are they helping? How is Elianne a key to Shiva’s vengeance?

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

Leigh: CAT QUESTION! :D

RebelVampire

5) definitely this one from the climax before the time skip. http://raisondetrecomic.com/chfivep40.html I love the use of the silhouette cause it really contrasts well with the yellow. i also like the angle is from over kregor's shoulder so it kind of makes the sort of distance view that really forces you to be in awe of this immensely show of power. 6) I'm kind of in the same thinking as @snuffysam in that Yukina will help restore their memories while the cat folk do the heavy lifting. Cause they really have done the hard part of getting them away from Elianne, cause now Elianne's only retaliation is to send Kregor. and well...Kregor has the cant even do one job disease it seems since he only even got sachiko and koyomiko by complete accident. XD I do think the journals might help though. Maybe it'll be like the Butterfly Effect or Life is Strange where she accesses memories by reading them.

RebelVampire

7) Probably Nozomi and Koyomiko, even though its been a while since then. On the whole Nozomi interests me as a character cause she seems to have changed the most significantly from when she was a kid to when shes an adult. And its really interesting to see the effects that those around her have had on her and how those relationships have changed. 8) I feel like Koneko is like some guardian who broke with society to stand against Elianne specifically. Or that he was somehow related to the people who originally imprisoned Elianne. Which if it's that latter one, I assume the other companion not Shiva is part of the same group. Shiva maybe too in a way, but I feel Shiva is trying to strike at an old acquantaince of Elianne's, cause maybe Elianne's past deeds were bigger than just her. Like she fell in with the wrong crowd or something. But to summarize, I think theyre like some fringe group about protecting people from people like Elianne who are less touchable maybe. As for why helping, I think Koneko is actually just pretty selfish and wants to save Koyomiko no matter the cost.

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

Leigh: (re: question 8 with @RebelVampire ) that was the point with Nozomi actually! Glad to see the comment on her. She is definitely a complex character and will be shown more in upcoming parts

Nozomi has a lot of concept sketches plotted out and has been a big focus behind the scenes, heh~

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

And, while we can't spoil, we can confirm that the light-haired companion to Koneko is the Celestial version of what Koneko is (which has been mentioned as being some sort of Umbrian)

Very similar characteristics, yet they both have some tiny variations~

Which DOES make one wonder....if the butter-cat can shift into a human form, does that mean Koneko has one, too?

RebelVampire

yes O_O

there is not a doubt in my mind he can

well could

cause i believe its either he wont or he cant anymore

i am just waiting for the day its real and then you flood the world with all the human pics O_O

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

Hehehheheh

RebelVampire

actually tbf creators do a lot of what if pics so even if its not real there may be human pics someday

so you know what

my win regardless

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

Leigh: It helps that you know he's going to be a handsome devil :p

RebelVampire

its true XD

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

Leigh: I mean, come on, look at him:

RebelVampire

QUESTION 9. What sorts of art or story details have you noticed in the way the comic is crafted that you think deserves attention?

QUESTION 10. What did Elianne do in the past that got her trapped and considered unwelcome in Umbria? What do you think she intends to do if she gets free? What’s in it for Kregor?

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

Oooh, the art questions are the most curious

RebelVampire

9) One detail I think deserves attention story wise is Koyomiko's changing use accent. I find it vastly interesting that she has it as a kid/teen, doesn't have it as an adult, and then suddenly has it again post memory loss. It's a real curiosity and makes you wonder if the loss of accent is actually a conscious effort on her part everything. But also I just enjoy the consistency in that since doing consistent changes in accent in this manner can be an easy thing to forget. Art wise, I love the details in Rie's design that always seem reminiscent of a fox. Like the pointy tooth or pointy ears. Like even her hairstyle somehow invokes that feeling of fox, and I love that. 10) I feel like Elianne was just power hungry and delved into forbidden stuff. Like not world take over domination. But more just was like didn't draw any lines of ethics and wanted power for the sake of power? Mostly this theory stems from she doesnt strike me as a world domination type. Since so far her goal consists of "id just like out of this cave plz and thank you." I think the first thing she'll do when she gets free is go to starbucks so she can savor ordering her own coffee. And then ya know, plot revenge against those who imprisoned her or get her powers back if she gets free sans powers. As for Kregor, IDK man. Maybe he just likes money or maybe he deserves employee of the year award for being the most loyal employee ever.

The little details: Miko's speech patterns

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

Sachiko's head movements as an adult (phone doesn't have spoiler tags) is another thing we made sure to note

€heshire777

You can do spoiler tags on mobile, just put || on both sides of it.

like so

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

Well just in case it doesn't work (have had update issues before), I managed to be vague anyway lol

RebelVampire

truly a beacon of inspiration to minions everywhere XD

QUESTION 11. What do you think are this particular comic’s strengths? What do you think makes this comic unique? Please elaborate.

QUESTION 12. How might Koyomiko and Elianne’s powers being opposite be significant to the story? Do you believe this gives Yukina an advantage in some way since she’s also an Ascendant?

Menchi

Finally found my way here, but I'll start by answering the two newest questions: 11. Frankly the strength of the comic so far has been continuing a story that feels unique compared to anything I have read before, juggling the feel of a slice of life story while building up to a big adventure. Also I'd like to throw in how surprising it was for plot to progress, the signs there for the story to go further but the bait and switch about how the story would progress was certainly amusing. :)

as for 12: I had not given it that much thought before now, perhaps in a "Only I can defeat you kind of way", though from the story so far that might be too obvious. ^^ but i could see Yukina being very effective at least in nulifying and protecting others from Elianne's abilities.

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

@Menchi - Leigh is to the one to compliment with that. She has done an amazing job with the storytelling and coherency. Inks have gotten much better thanks to her too!

Menchi

heh, you been a good team together ^^

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

Thanks. Means a lot. I had these ideas for a long time but she helped put it all nice and coherent~

Also the theories about Yuki (all of them)give us life

Menchi

Then begin the Yuki is the true bad guy theories xD

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

Ohhhhnoooo

Menchi

Yuki goes pure evil, Rie has to bring her back from the bring, cue feel good story of the year xD

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

YuRi shipper ;p

Menchi

i admit it :p

Menchi

1. Now thats a tricksy one, but I would say my favorite storyline is at the start of chapter 3, when (without spoiling too much in case people drop in) the certain parts of the story start to cross together much more, and their involvement together became much more apparent. That it wasn't just a story that was looking into the past.

2. I am still holding to the belief that her father is some kind of Umbrian, or perhaps something else altogether... that or her father played with forces he cannot comprehend. :P For the other parts of this question I am unsure, but I am very curious to see where they go with these plot threads.

snuffysam

we do know at least one dad that lied about being an umbrian

could very well be two

i think the most unique aspect of the comic is its story structure. the first part is technically told entirely from yuki's perspective, but she's finding out about the past through others' recollections. and they're also potentially unreliable narrators, as seen through the chapter where koyomiko and nozomi argue with each other over the story of their meeting. it really gets into those themes of memory that I hope will be explored further in part 2

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

Oh, Kazuo....He was definitely in some huge trouble...

I mean, can you imagine how that first secret came out based on what Nozomi said in that Interlude?

snuffysam

was caught sniffing a dog in the park

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

Kazuo: Oh, I love you Nozomi Nozomi: I love you, too. Let's get married. Kazuo: Okay! (few months later) Nozomi: Oh, Kazuo, I'm pregnant! Kazuo: Oh....Um, I guess it's about time I told you that I'm actually a kitsune. Nozomi: WAT

snuffysam

AND HE DIDN'T EVEN MENTION THAT HE WAS ROYALTY OR THAT HIS FIRSTBORN WOULD BE TAKEN AWAY AFTER GRADUATING HIGH SCHOOL

he's in the doghouse for sure

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

Hoooooo boy

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

Also a minor correction: Rie is the second kid Understandable to think it was 'firstborn' since that's how the trope usually goes but Hiroki is safe xD

snuffysam

ah yes that's true

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

Nozomi had Rie knowing full well at that point that her kids were going to be halflings but then THAT happened and he kept it a secret when he really shouldn't have!

RebelVampire

QUESTION 13. What are you most looking forward to in the comic? Also, do you have any final thoughts to share overall?

QUESTION 14. What other changes do you believe the time skip has brought? In particular, what do you think has happened to Rie in regards to her decision about the NKP and her destiny to be her clan’s Inari?

RebelVampire

11) I think the comic's strength is its use of personal perspectives. Like whether its Yukina, Miko, Sachiko, or any other character, the comic does a really excellent job of switching to different perspectives at the right time to continue the story in emotionally compelling ways. It also makes the perspective changes worthwhile since each one youre always learning about each character on a more personal and intimate level that really helps connect you to them as the story ramps up. 12) I think it's gonna help when push comes to show since at the very least, yukina and koyomiko can probably defend themselves better against elianne compared to others. but other than that, im not seeing it have a big effect other than saving everyone's neck at the right time. 13) right now im just looking forward to seeing rie again and see what time skip rie looks like. and im just curious how everything worked out for her. also, human koneko. 14) I have an honest belief that Rie wants to stay in the NKP, but that shes struggling to get out of family obligations at the moment. And that she might have found a way, but it is tedious and drawn out. as for other changes in general, i feel like the NKP in general might have changed their policies a bit or something. at the very least, i hope they had a super big poster of Kregor that says "NKP's most wanted." which kregor brought to elianne to express his popularity.

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

Ascendants are an interesting bunch. We're slowly learning more about them in the recent pages. At least, via quick comparison-like comments between folks involving Cassandra and Yuki's dad vs. Yuki and Miko(edited)

As for Rie, well, she's been shown in her adult form in recent updates ;3

snuffysam

i feel like rie wants to stay in the nkp, but that goal may waver slightly after sitting through all of tomoko's lectures...

i think there might be a strained relation between the nkp and umbria going forward. because, like, kregor was caught and sent to the umbrian courts, right? and yet, he was able to get out and snatch miko & sachiko. so the policy of "let umbrians deal with umbrian criminals" has some holes in it.

at least from nkp's point of view

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

Hmm hhmmm

The lessons are important...but they sure are funny. Poor Rie xD

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

You know who is someone we want to show their reaction to what has happened since chapter 5? Rin. The founder of the Favreau-Tokyo Clanhouse, Sachiko's mom, Yuki's grandmother. She will appear soon once we're done with the hiatus but one wonders how she took it

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

Well, it's past midnight where I'm at and I figure the chat has quieted for the week, so with that, I'm gonna at least post this little thank-you doodle to those who stopped by this week before I forget. Thank you very much for the interesting questions and commentary!

snuffysam

thank you for being here and participating in the chat! it's always cool to see a creator at the tea party!

Funari (Raison d’Etre)

I try to whenever I can. I liked the week-long style better because I didn't have to make sure to take time off like I had to for the Thursday one xD This one I could jump in whenever I was available despite work in the way.

And Leigh was also here, at least in spirit. I just relayed her all the comments as they happened :3 She "answered" a few times, but for the most part, our reactions were too similar this time around to really do the separate comments

i found guardians of the galaxy vol 2 a bit shit

I saw it a little less than a week ago and I’m still disappointed.

I prefer to think of this post more of an “analysis” than a rant but itll probably be more the latter.

also these are all just opinions, if you liked it thats fine.

(spoilers ahead)

1. the writing

i mean i wasnt expecting it to be a masterpiece, hardly any sequels are, but the humour of the first film was 100% tied to the clever screen writing.

and here it felt like the writer was hamfistedly trying SO GODDAMN HARD to be funny and it never really seemed to land except in 1 or 2 scenes (the groot button scene and the scene where groot is explaining why he doesnt like hats).

This might just be my dumb sense of humour here, i know plenty of people who did find it funny but so many lines just left me cold or rolling my eyes.

An example is this fruit gag and the set-up is okay.

One of the first things nebula says in the film that she wants a piece of fruit which she is then denied because it isn’t ripe yet. This is fine, its humorous because of the casual tone of the question and the somewhat overly stern and ridiculous answer, the outright denial perhaps being because gamora doesnt want to be charitable to her sister at all. It works.

Then it gets reestablished: theyre now fighting people and the fruit is on the ground in the fray and nebula is still a prisoner. Now she asks Drax for the fruit and Drax yells over his gun “no its still not ripe”. This doesnt work quite as well cause it doesnt make quite as much logical sense and its basically the same conversation as before. So its not funny here.

Then the pay-off doesnt work because its too hamfisted. There is a reveal that nebula has managed to escape and now has a gun in one hand and the fruit in the other. That alone would have been a good pay-off because theres a sense of misplaced priorities, maybe simply because she kept getting denied it she went out of her way to bring it with her. I chuckled at that.

But then the script makes her triumphantly take a bite out of it, spit it out dramatically as if its disgusting and then explain “it wasnt ripe”. And they film it as if thats the punchline. It was too hammy to be funny, it seemed like such a waste of an opportunity.

Like they could have made it more understated like they could have stretched it out a little. Here’s an idea for what they could have done instead. Shes quite a proud character so her taking a bite in triumph fits her character fine but once she takes a bite, she smiles for a bit that sorta slowly turns into a bit of a grimace but continues chewing determinedly, her face a picture of disgust. that could be the end of the scene or it could continue by then having a ravager break the silence to ask if shes alright. she sorta manages to swallow it down but when she next talks her voice could be a bit claggy and constantly sounding like shes on the verge of coughing which would undermine her authority over the situation.

This is one of the few times they attempt a recurring joke and it doesnt work at all (off the top of my head i cant even remember one other one and the first film had so many). Other examples of failed jokes include pretty much all lines said by Drax who only seems to laugh manically and insult Mantis and nothing else including one which doesnt even work within his character (this one: mantis is watching all the raider funeral fireworks and she says that theyre beautiful and drax is staring at her and says “yes, beautiful” pause “on the inside” ITS ESTABLISHED OVER AND OVER THAT HE IS LITERAL MINDED SO WHY IS HE SAYING THAT). And I would also say that alot of the jokes with Groot aren’t very good either and neither is his character in this film but dont worry I’m gonna justify that in a second. I plan on giving him an entire fucking section.

So not only did the jokes not work but even the normal conversations felt stilted. And so often it almost looked like the actors werent sure of how they were meant to say lines in a way that would sound natural. Peter Quill wasn’t sounding like Peter Quill all of a sudden, Gamora didnt feel like Gamora.

It made for a confusing experience. I kept having to question myself for not laughing at a joke or feeling emotionally invested in what was happening. i ended up asking myself alot “this is a guardians of the galaxy film, why arent i having fun?”

2. the story

I freaking loved where they went with the character development of yandu and nebula (she and gamora are my favs) but it made me realise how mindless the main story is. The only thing i found exciting about the main storyline was yandu’s backstory and then his redemption AND THEN THEY KILLED HIM. SO WHATEVER. NEVERMIND. Just so they could have a tearjerker ending.

anyway back on track, the main storyline, starlord’s was pretty standard and you could see the fact that starlord’s dad is evil from the beginning, mainly cause he’s shown to be too cool and flawless at first which is a big warning sign. It was more just boring than anything else. Though the cg for Ego rematerialising in really disgusting ways was amazing. But thats hardly a substitute really.

It’s just: chris pratt goes to find father -> turns out his dads a planet therefore chris pratt is Special™ -> oh no his dads bad what a shocker and he’s wanting galactic domination -> now they gotta fight and they do.

Everything else (which is alot by the way, there is so much “everything else”) is basically unrelated except yandu’s story but even then he has this mutiny happening on his ship for a bunch of the film which has nothing to do with most things. And then after a bloodbath he ends up flying his own ship again so none of that mattered and any consequences of killing an entire crew (that you would guess would be around for some reason like, i don’t know, maintaining the ship so it can fly places) simply do not exist. And then after that up til the Big Fight, yandu, yandu’s right-hand man (cant remember his name) and rocket scream into the camera for a while while they warp through apparently too many warp points or something. cause it seems like they had to fill up 3 minutes.

Meanwhile Chris Pratt and gamora have romantic tension or something while he tries to come onto her and stuff and she isn’t into it and then her development is her coming round to him? She doesnt have any other story except being attacked by nebula sometimes and not doing anything in the Big Fight for some reason????? She and nebula fall off a ledge which they cling to for most of the fight while mantis does her mind-fuckery til she gets knocked out and then the dudes take care of it.

Rocket’s character development is mainly yandu telling him not to push people away and that he knows what its like to be in rocket’s shoes yadda yadda. so that gives rocket some time to be angsty cause they need to fill there angst quota somewhere.

like i said i did like nebula’s character development and her backstory but it wasnt really relevant either. it did flesh her out as a character tho.

my main issue with the story was there was an emphasis on these character subplots which ususally I’m all for. But if there was a main plotline which actually tied it all together then it would have worked. It was all well themeatically of having all these characters choosing their families over their bloodties. But having all these subplots almost occur in a vaccum away from all the other subplots AND the main storyline, makes for a really slowww film. in which once a scene ends, more often than not, you have to ask yourself “and what was the point of that”.

And also once you start giving fleshed out character development for the sake of fleshed out character development and not for the overall plot, it makes the fact that some character’s weren’t given this treatment all the more apparent.

Like Drax, in the first film he was a very well developed character. But as i said earlier, literally all he does in GotG2 is laugh alot and tell mantis she’s ugly.

and then there’s groot’s character develop- HA NO

3. GROOT

there is no character development for groot because groot has no character.

groot has ceased to exist and a vacuous void has been been put in his place. that is the only explanation i can come up with for the way he is depicted: he died at the end of the last film, his consciousness vacated his body and then when he was being regrown, no consciousness was left to get put into it.

look

i really dont like being pandered to and here marvel was clearly pandering to anyone who thought little stick groot dancing at the end of the first film was adorable. and i did, obviously. who didnt? but when you try to replace character and motivation with cute, it wont work.

he is dancing and when he’s not dancing he’s misunderstanding information or being near useless in battles. All while he has that creepy vacant smile is on his face.

the camera freaking loves this idiot. to the point that the title sequence just has him dancing to mr blue sky while looking straight into the fucking camera, WHILE A WHOLE FIGHT IS HAPPENING AROUND HIM THAT I WOULD MUCH RATHER SEE.

for one thing, its an injustice to mr blue sky. that shits my jam.

for another thing, there is no music playing within the scene, its non-diegetic. so why’s he dancing?????

in the first film it makes sense cause not only cause the music matters to starlord but also cause it is happening in the scene, he’s listening to it on his headphones and it goes away when he takes them off. it also serves for conveying his character. and also the cinematography is great:the sweeping camera moves and visual gags really make you excited for the film to come.

Here, not only does it not make sense for him to be dancing as there’s no music, it also doesnt make sense for him to be dancing in the middle of a battle or dancing for a camera that he knows the presence off (this aint no 4th wall breaker or it shouldnt be). also the cinematography sucks cause hes too fucking small now so if you go for a wide shot you cant see the fucker. and also youd get distracted from his dancing because of all the action thats happening and WE CANT HAVE THAT. And the animation is good (i mean of course its good its fucking marvel) but they went so out of their way to kid-ify him that his arms and legs are really quite small compared to his head. Which would be fine, but with a dance-number, big arm and leg movements feel very small and don’t match the big music. I really felt a disconnect between what i was seeing and the music i was hearing. it didnt fit (while in the first film it so totally did).

the biggest issue i have with it is that it prioritises the wrong character. it prioritises groot when groot doesnt even have a semblence of a story. he does 2 things in the whole film: unlock a cage and carry a bomb for a little bit (because they realised that he wasnt doing anything so they threw him a bone).

then youve got the other characters getting introduced by telling him off for dancing. which is fair enough but it introduces them as sticks in the mud which is a weird way to introduce the main characters of a Fun Quirky Comedy film.

like i watched this opening and not only got annoyed at how long it felt but i also genuinely thought “oh i guess this is a groot film”.

I cannot even begin to explain how much could have gone wrong for me to think that.

I kinda hope the 3rd film (which you can bet your ass Marvel is making right now) is better or at least maybe not as rushed cause i did love the first film and it would be a shame for it to get chewed up in the haste to make make as much money off it as possible before it becomes irrelevant.

C’mon James Gunn. you’re better than this. Sometimes.

P.S. the gold people lol

//what the fuuuuuuuuck??

i feel like i just walked into a different game

‘a foreigner’

well

maya is the direct descendant of freakin Mystic Ami

man i really hate Kooraheen

“I wonder if Maya has matured any since the last time I saw her?”

oh they tried, phoenix

they tried

but that shit doesnt fly

...apparently growing an inch well after you've naturally stopped growing does, though. oh well whatever

MAYAAAAA

“its on top of a mountain and its freezing”

“i think i can handle it”

bullshit phoenix youu fucking liar exercise and cold are your least favourite things

ahlbi: dont go in there that river is full of souls

phoenix: lol but what if i did

jesus phoenix

all this stuff about prayer has got to be taking the piss

i cant tell if this game is against religion or just... i have no idea

“it’s been many a day”

yeah like i dunno just a DECADE

many a day??????? what the fuck is this

“you have to train in Kooraheen because this is where the technique originated”

oh yes, totally not in Kurain, the place Mystic Ami, the founder of the Kurain Channeling Technique, founded. No way.

“all i learnt was to look like a nun”

yeah because youre iN THE WRONG PLACE MAYA

“seat-of-you-pants, come-from-behind wins”

“ok so it wasnt my finest hour. sue me.”

id marry this man

“yep! completed the full two years!”

wow so i guess the Incredible, Amazing-Special and Highly Spiritual Kooraheeneese training regimen is the equivalent of an associate degree.

“the high priest practically begged me to do it!”

mayas going to jail and he's the killer isn't he.

i love that theyre like “lady keera isn't like the deities we think of from back home; she was a really real person!!”

and its like

awkward for jesus.

I WANT PICTURES OF LADY KEERA! (slams table)

“sightings of her go back 2 years!”

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

“you think some regular cosplayer could take on a bunch of guys in costume alone????”

well i mean essentially every super hero is just that so

“thats why she's real!!”

ok, wearing a cloak and kicking a rebel in the balls now makes you a god. you heard it here first guys

something about all of this just makes me rly uncomfortable and i cant put my finger on it

“can we leave my hair out of this?”

once again phoenix worries more about his hair than... well, being called edgeless i guess

maya’s wearing a robe and she punched a lawyer in the face... i’d say that gets her canonized at least.

♫ he's got spurs, that jingle jangle jingle (jingle jangle) ♫

“Look! Its Acolyte Zeh’lot!”

me, wincing from the pain of the pun but also yelling: ITS FUCKIN AANG HLY SHIT

phoenix wright’s new fun personality gimmicks include: destroying foreign monarchies and having Unexplained Broken Spine Syndrome

I’d like to think capcom beat him with a gold club while reminding him that most of the oldest living attractive-enough-to-be-a-protagonist people in Ace Attorney are like 40

i dont know why but the image of a few brightly coloured monks hauling phoenix’s unconscious ass down a mountain is making me wheeze like nobodys business

ahlbi: miss mayas been arrested!

phoenix: (completely unshocked) what

(brutal murder has just occurred)

praying man: do you think we should get up??

praying man #2: nah were just part of the background.

ema failed the forensics exam because she continually took fingerprints without consent. confirmed

phoenix: i never thought id have to do another trial where the defence was unwelcome

you'd have to quit to achieve that kind of peace, phoenix

“he's calm and kind and almost always has a smile on his face”

correction; he’s haughty, condescending and almost always has a holier-than-thou smirk on his face.

theres so much cursing and exploding into flames in Kooraheen.

‘iii guess thiiiiis is what its like to live in a deeeeeeply religious society, huuuuuh’

i dont know how to feel about this

poor baby faces his least fav things; cold and high

oh crap not figure skater princess

oh dear god. this is ominous as fuck. phoenix is just like “that looks like...” and then its just. one huge EXAMINE button followed by her being the only choice.

I'm feeling deeply uncomfortable

“we know the killer is one of your own!”

HER ANCESTOR INVENTED–– AGGHHHNNN never mind

“in my country suspects are innocent until proven guilty”

we’ve all said it once and i’ll say it again

bullshit, capcom

“phony baloney”

“tweedledum and tweedledee did a number on her impression of foreigners”

what the fuck does that mean

who the fuck is he referring to

this is the tuna boat all over again

“who taught you to demonize a whole group of people anyway”

just sounds really stupid when the “people” in question are lawyers.

...is this the kooraheen version of (positive adjective) people

its marginally better than the regular SOJ (positive adjective) people

oh lady Kee’ra is katniss everdeen. she's even got the mockingjay and everything!

this reminds me a lot of Bridge

even figure skater princess is a bit like assistant!Franziska. but less amusing.

she’s rather helpful though, to a disgusting scum sucking lawyer like me.

idk Kurain village felt a lot more atmospheric than Kooraheen does. I’m not quite sure why... Might’ve been the music (which was awesomely spine-tingling)

but also something about just... the general feel? Like the strict rules of Kurain village felt more claustrophobic and stifling than the almost cartoonish seeming Super Prayer Aesthetic of Kooraheen. (who knows; maybe there are countries that spend 15 hours straight in prayer but idk them)

maybe Kurain village felt more realistic in that a single town housing nothing but mediums seems within the boundaries of reality, but an entire country completely based upon it does not.

Kurain felt like a small part of a bigger picture, whereas i feel like Kooraheen is a big picture with nothing much in it.

when is a medium-based case not a locked-room mystery???

cleared away snow... a broken lantern... gosh!!! THAT... REMIND ME OF SOMETHING

also phoenix taking more pictures is [100 emoji]

“almost... boggles the mind...”

he didnt seem scared but his vision did blur

maybe he got

high

haha h ah hah hah ha

a full body poncho is a great fighting outfit

i wonder if spider-kee’ra is a fella in disguise

“I wonder if he has amnesia”

either youre sherlock fucking holmes or that was rly forced. he said like 2 words to you.

characters who look like theyre gonna shoot u thus far:

-Precious bobby

-dirty hobo eating lizards

mind reading lizard eating hobo

hes a power ranger!!!

you ask this man, phoenix wright, to move on???

you fool

“all my tools were confiscated at the airport”

oh except this HUGE SPRAY BOTTLE OF LIQUID

ema: (backhandedly mentions klavier)

me: (clenching fist with a tear in my eye) someday

“Who’d have thought you’d get caught up in something like this? And so far from home?”

phoenix pls

“Besides, I thought you’d be used to being the usual suspect by now!”

[wheezes] that was like 3 lines before this unholy contradiction

(cries) the bars are so wide he can hold his pwecious bffs hand thru them

like. if he wanted to.

also the music is surprisingly nice and atmospheric. very subtle and gentle and not an atonal mess like the investigation theme.

oh fuck i forgot you were here rayfa

maya just called herself a foreigner. fuck you capcom.

“ive never eaten anything better in my life”

MAYA HOW COULD YOU FORSAKE BURGERS

NOOOOO

fucking fuck rayfa

she's

the master

of the kurain

technique

oh i see. she's been keeping her talent a ‘secret’

cant FUCKING WAIT to find out what the bullshit excuse plot twist is!!!

“I found this”

and why do you,,,,, still have it maya,,,, while ur in jail

kurain guards suck ass

why did she... bring up the ladder argument

it came right the heck out of nowhere after she says she's gonna ‘keep it real’ from now on. is she saying that was stupid and frivolous?? damnit fuckin fuck SOJ dont mock the most precious running gag in the series thats poor fuccking taste

priest is a rebel isn't he

“We’re not in Kansas anymore...”

could’ve fooled me, y’all

“All Abord the Phoenix Freedom Express”

that omnibus sure came a long way...

rayfa doesn't speak japanifornian very well, only khumerican.

yikes, another ‘examine person’ scenario.

“are you she”

..........................phoenix

everyone’s so shocked that a woman is communicating with the dead in a country wHICH REVOLVES AROUND COMMUNICATING WITH THE DEADKJ HKFH; GHHL /

Wait, Datz isn’t kooraheenese?

three hole??????? three hole????? duhhh.... three hole.......... i dont know huhuhuhuuh

“theres an unusual custom”

not depicting a religious figures is an unusual custom????? they have got to be taking the piss

“I think its stunning!!” so stunning that i will steal the poster hahahaha

HSHFGSJK AAAHHH THE PLUMED PUNISHER

KILL IT

KILL IT WITH FIRE

(weeps in relief)

thank you for.... dousing the pain with the original.... my soul is cleansed.

so what if she called herself lovely

she is lovely

let a gal have some confidence in herself, phoenix.

eyyyyy psyche locks and their badass 2013 theme. I'm down for this

a three pronged arrow is such a stupid fucking idea. they do know that the shape of an arrow is designed to go in easily and be difficult to pull out, right??

Rayfa knows words like “Meritorious” in English, but not the implicit meaning of Freedom Express.

youve gOT BALLS FOR A LAWYER

THIS GAME CAN GET AWAY WITH “YOUVE GOT BALLS” BUT APOLLO CANT SAY ‘FUCK’????

Inga’s like Redd White but less funny. amusing in that he calls phoenix ‘white’.

also what kind of cigar is he smoking that has wax on the end??? that cant be healthy
