Despite the almost painful disconnect he'd felt between himself and the act he'd put on for the sake of passage into Europe ( the act Colonel Brewster paid well enough for ), he feels some sense of self-indulgent amusement following Miss Bellecourt's reply. A chuckle finds itself cut-off after the first syllable.

❛ The sharpshootin' display, huh? ❜ He wonders why. Is it the theatrical distortion of dangers she's never faced, never will face, or the blissful unawareness of the tales the acts are based on? Either way, he can't judge without painting himself the hypocrite: he himself capitalized on the very same atrocities by retelling the stories as if humorous.

As prone to self-blame as he is, Ethan chooses not to spend any further thought on it now. Can he not enjoy a normal conversation with a stranger these days?

❛ Oh, I was a performer, all right ... sharpshooter, in fact, ❜ he gives with a nod and a raise of his eyebrows. ❛ But those days are behind me. Think the act's set to move on soon, too. Off to mainland Europe. ❜ With the ensuing pause, he leans back into the bench, crossing one leg loosely over the other. In a flash, he lets his eyes flit across her hands. Not all fingers are visible given that they're folded, but he spots no ring there. ❛ And what is it a lady like yourself gets up to on a day-to-day basis? ❜

The show's headliner rings a bell, but that’s not what rehones Brianne’s attention — learning that the gentleman arrived with the show does. How one can simply meet just anyone in the park these days is beyond the older lady.

     “You don’t say?” Her voice stretches in response, brows lifting to cull more expression on her quiet facade than she’s shown thus far. Was he part of the production team? She wonders. Or, even more ludicrous, a performer? He certainly has the accent for it, but perhaps that's simply par for his origins.

     The question has her recalling sitting on those uncomfortable bleachers to behold a spectacle that proved far from a leisurely day at the races, to which she is more accustomed. But if Queen Victoria endeavored to enjoy it, so could she.

     “If I had to choose,” she brightly drawls as her hands refold on her lap, “Perhaps the sharpshooting display. If I remember correctly, a person shot a cigar out of a man’s mouth. How dreadful.” An amused hum chases; what an anxiety-inducing show but entertaining nonetheless. “Oh, you couldn’t have been a performer?” Nose pinches a smidge as head cants with curiosity about the role he might have played if only he might continue to indulge her.

Why is it important that Luka trained with Su-Han

Luka found out Ladybug’s and Chat Noir’s true identity in "Whishmaker". He might feigned ignorance for a short amount of time and also tried to play it cool, but knowing this secret surely weighting on him.

He not only has to play the therapist to basically everyone and be emotionally there for them and give them advices while he just wants to play his music; but he also have to be careful with his emotions if he is not intending to get akumatized and spitting out Paris's iconic superhero duo's civil identity.

Just look at what happened in "Migration".

He almost got akumatized because he felt that what happened between Kitty Section and Bob Ross was his fault. Not only that, but his emotions also told Monarch that he knows Ladybug's and Chat Noir's identity. And because of all that he couldn't calm down to resist the akuma, the only way he saw to escape from that dreadful situation was to break his precious guitar. At the end of the episode he had to flee Paris; he didn't trust himself, his emotions enough to stay, he was afraid that Monarch might try to akumatize him again. Furthermore, he wasn't safe from other akumatized villain's attack either, he couldn't became Viperion, and he didn't want to rely on Ladybug and Chat Noir to protect him.

That's what so frustrating in akumatization. People can't feel their negative emotions and they have to bottle it up or forcefully resist them, which is really unhealthy. Our emotions, be it positive or negative, they're essentially not our enemy we just have to find methods to deal with them.

And that's where Su-Han comes in the picture.

Do you remember what he did in "Furious Fu"?

"My anger is mine, but I'm not my anger."

This dude just got snaped back to existance into a time when everything is completely different from his time, and the first thing he did was to search for the Miracle box. A dutiful guy, indeed. Obviously, he was angry at Fu for a lot of thing, but as soon as he saw the Akuma, he didn't fall into despair or started panicking. No, instead he started chanting the line above to himself, as if he was casting a spell that chases off the butterfly.

What I think he actually did, was that, he controlled his emotions. He accepted his anger, not suppressing it and transformed it into protective barrier, instead of letting it take a hold of him. This method looks more effective than Ladybug's Magical Charms that Shadowmoth easily overpowered.

So, there's a boy who can't seem to cope with his strong emotions; what could be the best solution for him? Mastering the ancient teachings of a guy from an ancient time (I know he's actually not that old). I can't imagine how could they've met or if they know about each other (that Luka's the Holder of that Snake Miraculous and that Su-Han is a celestial guardian of the Miraculous); but Luka's time in Tibet could be very important for his character. He could've learned, not just kung-fu, but also how to repel Akumas, and knowing this technique allows him to return to Paris and become Viperion again since the chances for him to get akumatized lowered.

Last but not least, his Holder friends could take lessons from him for free (he might as well charge them tho) to further decreasing the possibility of any Holders getting akumatized. Jagged, Penny and Fang also learned kung-fu, and they might as well learned the Akuma repelling stuff too, how cool would that be! They could also open studio or something where they could teach those things.

Anyways, I really hope we'll see more Luka in season 6 and that he actually learned how to repel Akumas.

Lorch is talking about writing again...

[Lily's Post]

Where do I even start here?

Okay first lets define what subtext is. Subtext is when a detail or meaning is conveyed indirectly through tone, dialog, character actions etc.

I talked about gay icon Gus Fring in relation to Lorch's thoughts on villains recently. Him being gay is entirely subtext. Even his final scene in Better Call Saul that practically hits people over the head who didn't pick up on him being gay is still subtext.

Gus is not the kind of man to come out and say "I'm gay", you won't see him at a Pride parade, you won't see him decking Los Pollos Hermanos in rainbow flags during June. That's just not in character for him. And yet both shows still, through subtext, communicated to us that Max was not just his friend and business partner but his lover.

(even the name of their restaurant Los Pollos Hermanos is a clue. It was not unusual for old school gays to just claim to be siblings in order to explain away why they live together)

And Gus' final scene in BCS shows him very much mooning over the sommelier he seemingly often chats with at his favorite bar. But we can also see him decide at the last moment to not get involved as his cold, dangerous drug and revenge filled lifestyle won't allow for love to spring anew. None of this needs to be stated aloud.

Okay with that out of the way lets dissect Lorch's nonsense:

So as usual Lorch's opinions on writing all absolutely come down to her not getting it and being bitter that other people do.

Whenever she talks about writing or fandom it becomes clear that the one thing Lorch absolutely can't stand is not being the smartest person in the room. But she has never been the smartest person in the room. So instead she has to decide that things other people understand that she doesn't are just worthless and overused and need to be done away with.

Subtext, worldbuilding, metaphor, lore, they're all just stupid things people use to SEEM smart, because LORCH doesn't understand them and so they must not matter.

Notice she doesn't give a single example of these things. She just starts with the assumption that people only use subtext because they think they have to or are trying to "look smart" and not because, you know, most audience members don't want to read or watch something that's basically the cliff notes of a story like you do, Lily. Subtext can aid in immersion and believability, especially when it comes to dialog.

You don't understand how to make an analogy either I see.

How the fuck is Lorch putting serialization in the same category as subtext and metaphor. Serialization is a method of story delivery, Lorch. It goes all the way back to dime novels and penny dreadfuls.

Something could be completely absent of subtext and metaphor and still be serialized. The fuck are you even talking about?

People don't "understand your point", Lorch, because you don't know what you're talking about and every single one of your opinions just comes back to your inability to understand narrative and your annoyance that other people do. But instead of expanding your understanding you try to control how people engage with and discuss narrative. You haven't deconstructed shit you just rage like a child at writing techniques that have been refined over centuries.

it is incredibly easy to tell when people can not write simon blackquill because his speech — at least for his TwIsTeD sAmUrAi persona — is so distinct. it’s difficult for me to explain in words, but if you look at the game transcripts for any period of time you should be able to get a sense for it and it is so aggravating to see fanworks where he isn’t yapping like some victorian era chap with a disposition for the macabre. a heinous fiend pried from the pages of penny dreadful.

“from the outset, i had no intention of paying heed to any of your babble”? bars. he calls apollo a “whelp.” impeccable. “the defendant sought to sow this confusion”? brilliant. “nothing but claptrap and balderdash if you ask me”? iconic. read some 18th century literature or ask the spirit of jane austen for her aid before putting the name of simon blackquill in your mouth my good chap

Halloween is upon us, and I am crowdfunding TWO GMLESS HISTORICAL HORROR RPGs with @jdragsky and Possum Creek Games.

Grand Guignol is a London Gothic game of queer monstrosity, fraught intimacy, secret histories, and community on the margins.

(Cover by the incredible @sticksandsharks).

Step into the skins of iconic Gothic monsters seen through a queer lens—the eerie Gate, the volatile Beast, the radical Scholar, the tormented Hunter, or the hopeful Ward—to flirt and feud, tremble and embrace, and hurt and heal each other in the alleyways and parlors of Victorian London.

If you like queer reads of Gothic classics like Carmilla, The Portrait of Dorian Grey, or The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde; are a fan of lush bloody shows like Penny Dreadful and Interview with the Vampire; or are fascinated by historic accounts of queerness, this game is for you!

Harvest is a Folk Gothic game about tradition, necessity, and sacrifice, about a remote British island whose golden paradise only brutal ritual death will preserve.

(Cover by the incredible @sticksandsharks).

Don the mask of key figures out of any good folk horror story—the wary Stranger, the generous Old Name, the defiant Young Blood, the wistful Dreamer, the embattled Wise One, and the ambivalent Homecomer—as the omens pile up and time runs out to answer the age-old questions: "Whose blood must be spilled to feed the land? And who will hold the knife?"

If you enjoyed genre classics like The Wicker Man and Midsommar; want your folklore bloody and your horror feral; or are fascinated by regional British superstition and rural clannishness, check it out!

The campaign runs through to the end of the month, so if either of these games speaks to you then grab a copy of your own!
