Milgram LINE stickers - Amane

arma bianca LINE stickers

...mood whiplash. I have three slides (I'm just doing this in google slides) for the stickers from The Purge March, because the flags have text on them. Plus the little * things will be in two bits, because some of the words used in the songs are... kind of funny in their childishness?

* In Japan, it's common for a circle (O) to mean the same as a tick mark in English. It just means "correct", and the X is the same thing for both languages. What Amane is doing is holding her arms up to make an O, to show that she is correct in her answer (kind of like a gameshow, and she is the host). In the second image her arms are still in the O, but her answer was wrong, so the X is on the little stand in front of her, as well as behind her (like she's in a gameshow, but as a contestant). The one that I've captioned as "No, bad girl!" has めっだよ on it, which is kind of like... when you go, "hey!" to a kid or a pet that's doing something wrong. It's a warning/reprimand. Amane is either treating herself like a small child, or like a pet that needs training. "It is indeed" is... kind of a poor translation. The text is ですよ, with です used as "it is". So, at the end of sentences like "I'm happy", "It's a box", that kind of thing. よ sort of... is like "y'know". A better translation here would be "(and ---), is that!".

* It's captioned as "'Tis ordained", because that's what the English subtitles say when it's said. However I am not entirely sure what it means here, probably something along the lines of listing, or saying that these are the "first" things you should consider? “Doubtlessly, clearly, absolutely, unequivocally, beyond any doubt, GUILTY” is just... "(absolutely 5x) unforgivable" in Japanese. I think the subtitles give the right feeling, and also I just think it's more interesting that way. Imagine if it was "very, very, very, very, very GUILTY". That's no fun! The flags... Pink: 人は運命を生きよ/"Thou shall follow thine destiny" More directly: One should live their destiny Blue: 人は卑きを捨てよ/"Thou shall discard vulgarity" More directly: One should renounce what is despicable Yellow: 信じたものに納めよ/"Thou shall deliver unto those thou believest in" More directly: Give back to those you believe in Green: 道を外れずに果てよ/"Thou shall follow thine course, then perish" More directly: Do not stray from your path, and make it to the end Yeah, it's not exactly such "old-timey" words, in the Japanese, but they all still read as "commandments", of a sort. Same kind of thing... but maybe a little less ominous...?

Wow that's a lot. One more! (has nothing to do with the stickers) In The Purge March, the part where Amane goes, "You're sorry? I don't care!" is 謝ったって、べーだ！ in Japanese. The first part is the same, but べーだ！ doesn't quite mean "I don't care" in Japanese. It's the sound made when pulling down your eyelid and poking out your tongue, a childish and mocking act. It's kind of like putting your hands near your face, wiggling your fingers, and blowing a raspberry. ...I guess that means "I don't care!", but the whole thing is just so childish and petty. I love it. Amane is so very "I'm not a kid! (at least when you're watching me)", but also "Doubtlessly, clearly, absolutely, unequivocally, beyond any doubt, PETTY" and I love her for it.

I just got a new drawing tablet (with a screen!!!), so I drew John to test it out.

I find it so SO interesting that as soon as Kazui's breaking their marriage vows and revealing his true feelings (literally tearing apart the dove), the wife is already falling off the balcony

Her hair is fluttering in the wind. The apple fucking splatters on the ground this whole sequence is so visceral I'm spinning it around in my mind. Kazui views his truth telling as a violent act, the killing blow.

[thechibilitwick]

one thing that constantly plagues my mind is this single milgram timeline interaction between shidou and kazui on kazui's birthday

like not only is it extremely gay but i've recently realized the fact that kazui mentions it's his birthday has certain implications. milgram is pretty thoughtfully written, which would lead me to believe that they wouldn't disregard things that have been said in the past no matter how long ago.

meaning the things kazui said on his first birthday is still just as relevant even now.

this would imply that kazui bringing up the fact it was his birthday was just an excuse to get shidou to spend some time with him.

why would he go out of his way to mention something he claims he doesn’t care much about if not as an excuse to get shidou to actually spend time with him? either it's just his crippling loneliness or he actually does have a thing for shidou, especially with the way his development is going and how his feelings and desires are being affirmed. plus every milgram interaction has some form of significance to the characters' development.

i do still feel like it's kind of a reach to make this assumption and i'm probably reading into it way too much, cuz it really could just be kazui being nice, but, y'know, why place so much emphasis on it? and also a SHOULDER MASSAGE being offered by the guy who craves physical touch? the closet is not even glass atp it’s been disassembled and returned to ikea

anyways 0507 is real

Why'd you gotta say that all of a sudden

I didn't do anything wrong

Hold on. It's not my fault

You knew it, right?

Why is it you look so sad?

No worries? Once you're bored, reset the rules?

I just can't seem to take you off of me

Sorry for hurting you, but I didn't mean it

I am doing this just because of being bored

We are just the same

This love, you started it! All I did was believe it

I did everything and anything for you

Happiness without me just isn't possible, right?

Because it's not my fault

I am absolutely right

Take more and more honey and devote to me

Too impossible! I'm feeling ill, here, there, everywhere

This love that's cute, it's all gone to waste

"So heavy that I'm beat", ouch! That made me cry

Why won't you stop hurt-hurt-hurting me?

My heart is all dried up

My sorry spells must be wearing off

Hold hands, die together? Neverland

I'd get tangled up with you again in a heartbeat

A space for just us two, now and forever

Let's meet up inside the pain, a place just for me

Postmortem makeup to hide my heart, how to solve it is a secret

The stabbing of the little devil's voice, counterattack being a suicide note

"I love you"

Genius! My thoughts set all the rules

Love conquers all, isn't that so?

It's a happy ending, ha-ha-ha

I told you I'm queen, and it will never be changed

I've got everything, everything is as I wish

Last Line Challenge

Rules: In a new post, show your latest line (artwork or written), and tag as many people as there are words (or as many as you feel like)!

Thanks @thepatchycat for the tag! I'm currently tackling a gigantic choice-story fic project so have a quick choice result😅

The fire extinguisher’s weight is a reassuring one. You can relax having some control over the chaos that surely awaits.

Tagging people who I know are working on things rn but I feel bad choosing so PLEASE jump in if you want to share -- I'd love to see! :D @fayesdiary @rainbowghostcat @kyanako5972 @luce-speaks @lostxmelody @justzosiahere @yaraneechan @igotbones

Last of the Milgram LINE stickers

arma bianca LINE stickers Here are the ones that are just Milgram, generally. There's "Milgram", "Milgram Chibi" and "Undercover".

* I'm only about 60% sure that this says "Is it an ant?" because it's just so out of context but that's also how you'd say ant?? I just don't know please Amane is petty enough to call us "ants" it's a ggod enough guess. For the banner sticker, the text under the MW bit just says MARGLIM (Milgram, but backwards). The banner text says "lossitarelecste" on the top and "rutiro" on the bottom, "et sceleratis sol oritur"/"light shines even upon the wicked", but backwards. Backwards, in a cipher, and in Latin? Sure. Whatever. I should make that post about all the really funny ones, but if I did it's be mostly Fuuta being indiginant and then the rest would just be the other prisoners actively needing help (I like the one of Shidou's where he just stares and the text is literally the SFX for staring at someone).

Kotoko in her Deep cover warden outfit. I didn't think that any prisoner would be able to compete with Muu for best outfit, but damn, she really changed my mind (though Muu still wins in my opinion).

[a-star-that-burns-brightly]

so far, the biggest conclusion I've gained from the responses to this post is that we desperately needed more timeline interactions like in 2020 and I do not understand why they're only relegated to birthdays now when they're such an important piece of Milgram's overall storytelling 😭
