i'm often proud of my bilingualism but never as much as when i can enjoy oscar's dry humor AND franco's completely unhinged nature without missing a beat

you once said that charles uses fans parasocial relationships with him in a much more careful (not verbatim but I think you said something similar) manner as compared to the whole nicole piastri podcast thing, could you elaborate? I just thought it was interesting

obv most teams go for the parasocial angle now but what are the different ways they go about it do you think, and would you say some are more, or less good at it, or into it at all?

thank you your brain is very big I want to unspool it

Ok I think I remember the post you were talking about! I thini I joked in tags like "Oscar should take lessons from Charles on how to involve his family in his personal image for parasocial purposes without going overboard" and I was mostly kidding except. not really.

To me. Like I just said, I think Charles is really good at cultivating a connection with his fans that feels very personal, while still keeping a big part of his private life under wraps. He folds bits and pieces of his personality and genuine interests into his #brand, and his communication with his fans feels very earnest as a result, but it's still very much a brand. Rissa was joking the other day that "Leclercs have managed to literally corporatize their brotherhood" and I laughed for five minutes but like, it's true. We know the names of Charles's entire friend group but we have no idea what his personality is like when the cameras are turned off. I have seen his carefully selected family holiday dump and have no inkling about how he and his girlfriend spend their days. I just think it's a very smart way to establish a fanbase in a way that 1) makes your fans feel close to you and motivates them to keep being your fans (worked on me!) 2) holds back core parts of your life that you don't want to share and 3) is true to reality so you don't have to keep up a media façade all the time and it "looks real." Again!! I think it's pretty impressive. He's a guy who enjoys being famous but on his own terms. Hashtag good for him!

The Nicole comment iirc is like... I don't actually follow Oscar closely enough to know what the level of engagement with his family is among his fans, but I AM aware of Nicole publicly engaging with her son's fan accounts just because it's very hard not to. I know general reception so far is positive, but from what I see... I get the vibe she's putting herself out there in a way that could backfire. Beyond whether you personally vibe with the kind of persona she's putting out, I just don't think it's great in the long term for the family of a driver to be THAT accessible to the public. Like, sports fans aren't nice! I hope she keeps having fun making #boymom jokes on twitter and doesn't have to be confronted with people in the replies wishing crashes on her son to the point where it becomes draining. I just think there are better, smoother ways to involve your family in your brand than what the Piastris are currently doing. So this is what made me go "You should ask Charles for tips". But it was mostly a joke, like, I don't think it's something Oscar NEEDS to do. I just think Charles is much better

Anyway! I'm not a social media image PR person so these are just my own gut feelings. I also don't think I know enough about how different teams go about social media engagement, except that I feel vaguely that they all could do better tbh. From glimpses I've seen around I think Mclaren are the ones doing The Most with the social media engagement angle and it feels very #zillennial. But in general, I think social media engagement is a good thing for teams to cultivate, but they don't care nearly as much as some people seem to believe. Teams' PR care way more about sponsors and F1 press than they do about clicks on their bromance videos and podium edits. It's nice to have but I doubt it's a priority.

(MY dream team social media content would be an equal mix of the Ferrari queerbait videos based on bad acting and chemistry and the Merc videos showcasing the team + factory personnel, but I fear nobody will give me exactly what I want :/)

There is not a male celebrity alive, who I would defend against their victims.

No matter how much I love their art.

[brakingpoint]

I’m so glad you mentioned the larry baby theory cause it’s all I can think when I read some tweets saying Max’s comment is PR LMAOAOOAO why would max fake comment on his longterm girlfriend’s instagram post for PR I’m cryingggg

These people are not real

❌ focusing on trying to win your fourth consecutive WDC because you are an elite athlete at the top of your game

✅ handing over your instagram password so your girlfriend can comment in your name to protect her adequate but not especially remarkable influencer career

[mexashepot]

My unpopular fandom opinion is that not everything fans interpret as fanservice was meant initially as fanservice nor can even be considered as such.

And the opposite of that is also true - a lot of things fans consider as sincere are just PR or fanservice (or amplified fanservice used as PR)

[llycaons]

personally I would never attempt to contact any celebrity. who they project in public is just that (a projection) as a consequence of their identities as celebrities as so why would I want to communicate with a persona. if that makes sense. like the individual themselves could be typing and responding in the micro but on a larger scale they have an image to pay attention to and that'sg going to shape their behavior so...nah.

Naoto has so many missed opportunities for interacting with other characters in PQ and PQ2 it makes me cry. The most missed opportunity is Ken and Naoto interacting

They both try to act more mature than their age and have complexes about it, they both have childish interests that they try to hide, like Ken has a unison attack in q2 with some of the PTs cause he think the PT are really cool. Naoto has also shown to be a fan of the Phantom Thief trope (cause believe it or not, p5 did not event phantom thieves, the trope has been around for a while). I see a lot of people point to Naoto’s SL with the phantom thief letter and are like “FORSHADOWING????” and more than half the time it’s not ironic. The author of Case Closed/Detective Conan did a manga called Magic Kaito/Phantom Thief Kaito before Conan, which no doubt is something Naoto would be into. Naoto also gets really excited about the code names the PT have. Ken and Naoto have so much in common from their complexes to their interests it truly is a crime we didn’t see more of them interacting.

i am mainlining this shit like coke what can i even say, i love a good mirror ANYWAY

Sumire literally begging you to leave her to this fate is agony. This is so much and it's awesome. I felt so goddamn uncomfortable with this traumatized girl sobbing and asking Reverie/Me to just let her fix her pain.

I love when games make be feel like garbage but in an earned way! I have literally been cogitating on the Phantom Thieves and how they alter people's mind for the ENTIRE game! Bring it back in the endgame armed with some teeth! Good!

I actively like that the game is wrestling with this. Like, the Bad End, right? How different are Maruki's methods than the Thieves? Shiho's attempted suicide finally incentized me to roll with the entire idea of stealing Kamoshida's heart, but as evidenced by my unrelenting and endless bitching about Ryuji and Mishima and the Phansite, I never bought into the idea that the Thieves were justified by default.

I love to have all that shit thrown back in my face. Delicious.

HILARIOUSLY I WAS RIGHT, SUMIRE COMES DOWN TO FIGHT US AND DEFEND HER RIGHT TO HAVE MARUKI RE-RIG HER BRAIN.

Akechi: "I mean, I could stay and kill her but then you'd me, like, mad at me and frankly I am too tired of this shit to deal with your pouty face too, so you can fight her solo. I'll stand over here looking smug."

Akechi is a gift.

I have some absolutely batshit bonkers personae at this point and start every fight with all three stat categories boosted, so this wasn't even a fight.

Maruki watches all this and when Sumire starts begging for it all to stop, he comes down to join us.

I could put, uh, 15 screencaps in here but here is a timestamp, you GOTTA see this fucking sequence. Should start at 2:48

okay yeah Maruki is a better villain than Adachi, we are there.

Getting upset at Sumire's pain and so using his fucking weird-ass power to tear the Persona out of her heart and ask it to fight to defend her, I.... holy shit. Holy shit?

SO YOU WANNA FREE SUMIRE FROM THE DELUSION THAT SHE IS HER SISTER? THEN FIGHT HER PERSONA AS IT RAGES AT YOU AND SCREAMS FOR YOU TO LEAVE HER ALONE.

this! this! this is better than the base game! where was this writing the entire game! fuck!

Finally, the gang shows up, all carrying starbucks, and are here to help pacify the blackout rage of Sumire.

Morgana, I love you. Have I mentioned I love Morgana?

This entire game is about a boy and his cat in my heart.

honestly even if I'm cold on Sumire, the Cinderella motif is awesome.

WHAT A FUCKING SHOT! CINNAMON TOPOGRAPHY!

Also through this entire sequence, the whole thing while everyone talks, Maruki never raises his voice, his composure never cracks, his resolution never breaks.

He's even like "okay. come at me." but he wants to talk first. He wants everyone to live in this world until February 3rd, when he will show up to talk this through. And then, if it comes to a fight, they can all fight.

Everyone catches up outside the Palace and decides its time to head home and they'll talk tomorrow, because Oof there's a Lot to think about.

Back at the cafe, things are back to normal for Futaba and Sojiro. Wakaba is gone.

That's the part that really throws a wrench into the ethics for me. Maruki is able to undo the murders of good people, and by resetting everything, they are dead again. The implications of this are a lot. He absolutely should not have the power to restore life like this, but he does and already has.

It makes it all the more interesting that Akechi is here. Because logically, it feels like if you somehow deleted him from the timeline, it would undo the deaths of Wakaba and Okumura. And yet, he's still here.

My theory that Akechi is here because of Reverie's desire is gaining more traction.

Thank god there is a fun moment of levity here int he flashback where Morgana does his usually I Am Not A Cat from pure instinct but then is like oh wait i am a cat lmao nvmd. It's a good chuckle.

Futaba goes home to presumably cry into Sojiro's chest as he awkwardly pats her head and tries to figure out what the fuck is wrong. Just gutting.

Also she confirms that she lowkey knew the whole time something was wrong but ignored it. Oh, Futaba. I'm so sorry.

SCREAM LAUGHING.

ugh yeah OBVIOUSLY i was hot as a human, have you MET me? idiot. moron. dumbass.

i love morgana the most, have i mentioned. just for real, imagine your cat looking in the mirror and going "man if I were a human I would get so much action, it's unreal," with absolute confidence.

that's comedy.

TS expresses multiple times that Aesfrost explicitly did not loot pillage and plunder Glenbrook or slaughter civilians when they invaded. The heroes caused more destruction taking Whiteholm back than Gustadolph did when he conquered it. Hyzante's problem isn't "religion bad" the religion itself was corrupted by Idore.

Do you have a website akin the the FE Datamine for the TS script ?

I remember how Whiteholm being relatively "unharmed" being a major point in the Roland routes, the Whiteholm peeps don't see anything wrong with Aesfrost' rule because Aesfrost (Gustadolph) specifically made sure that all exactions wouldn't be made in the main city ? But I can't remember the chapter...

However, several character supports (or stories? I don't remember how it was called) like iirc Flannagan, Avlora, Medina and Cordelia's were pretty revealing about what was happening in Glenbrook -in Flanagan's chapter iirc some Aesfrosti are pillaging for funsies, Medina has to heal an Aesfrosti soldier and meets opposition, Cordelia receives her share of flak and Avlora is hated by randoms because of what her army did.

Hyzante's religion is as consistent as swiss cheese, but iirc it thrives on enslaving Rosellians to hide the secret that salt didn't come from the goddess but they just happened to find some salted lake in the desert and hide the existence of rock salt to keep their monopoly. And that nonsense existed before Idore became the head honcho with his mechanical doll!

EDIT : someone compiled the script on the wiki!

Pariatte, out of anyone, notices how Gustadolph didn't attack the city of Whiteholm, but only focused on the castle so he wouldn't lose a lot of "popular support" from people who matter, aka not the peasants from Falkes, but the randoms in Whiteholm.

And as expected from the ones who aren't subjected to the worst of Aesfrosti occupation, Whiteholm people don't think Aesfrost's occupation is "that bad after all".

Heck, even Patriatte expected better of them lol

Esos anons son la mierda que me hace evitar esta maldita aplicación. Me comparó a alguien que literalmente va contra lo que yo soy solo porque me hace incómodo cuando las personas no entienden la privacidad. Perdón pero creo que es bastante estupido comparar las personas trans tratando de vestirse como quieren a los que solo tienes fetish y por alguna razón no tienen el control para dejarlo en su casa. Esto es sin hablar de pride proque esa discusión no me importa. De cualquier manera, tus derechos de usar una puta correa no es lo mismo que mi derecho a ayuda de salud. Es inutil comparar algo así, y llamarme blanco solo por eso solo te hace parecer más bruto. Me imagino que el mismo anon era blanco 💀. Porque quien más dijera eso. Aún así no lo soy, HA, ni vivo en Estados Unidos, vivo en una isla 💀
