What happened in the hour of joy with the toy player and the children saved from Doey?

Because of their sabotage the prototype does not exist. They are currently in charge of the toys. Instead of senseless slaughter of everyone they are targeting faculty with any lower access. They have been picking people off silently for a while and no one knew.

It is still known as the hour of joy. BUT once all scientist and in the know people had been taken care of. They start pretending to be the higher ups. This keeps the money flowing and keeps all top level employees from loosing their jobs. This also allows for food and supplies to make it into the lower levels. keeping everyone from starving.

Once in complete control of everything and double checking all scientists and higher ups are actually dead. They incinerate the bodies. Not allowing even a possibility of their resurrection into toys.

The more humanoid toys pretend to be orphanage staff. Sighting new "dress codes" that keeps any toy like features hidden from potential parents.

Toy player is exhausted. They are putting up so many fake identities to keep the factory running, while also keeping the kids safe, and everyone fed.

The feral toys are fed and kept in their cells until they can be rehabilitated and taught about what happened.

They also formed a council of the bigger bodies, who all look after their designated section and the smaller toys.

This Au might be called Playco savior au)

cant stop thinking about pro-exy player andrew before he ends up on the same team as neil having a multi-million dollar salary but living alone for the first time in his life. with neil in college for another year and aaron in med school and nicky in germany he has no other choice but to live entirely for himself

I’ve said it before but so much of the current salary structure and cba was designed like no one thought about how it would effect things after the first season and now we’re seeing them try to fix it which fine but like at least be transparent about it

Was listening to 32 Thoughts and a really interesting point about salary negotiations was brought up. If you take a pay cut and sign a “team friendly deal”, that can be seen as screwing other guys in the league over. Because it’s used against them by teams in their negotiations. So, when agents are negotiating deals for their players, there’s not only the component of what is good for the individual player vs the team but also what’s good for the nhlpa, which is a union. Friedman brought up that he actually will sometimes get that same thing brought up when he’s negotiating deals as a broadcaster. Other people in the industry have asked him not to compromise and take lesser deals because that also compresses their potential wages.

I think I'm figuring out what is feeling so ominous about Blue Lock's current arc right now. I definitely feel like Blue Lock is going dark in the sense that everything happening is being televised and used for profit, the money-hungry dudes are talking in the background about god knows what, Kunigami is a test subject and we don't even really know what that means, and the kids all keep looking at social media and looking at the comments being made about them online, and their ranks are literally dependent upon the salaries being offered to them.

Everyone is all worried about the characters spiraling which, yes that's a thing that's happening. But the more I observe the details of these chapters the more I realize that lots of characters are feeling offput by their new environment that is monetizing their wins and losses and exposing them to the public's opinion of them as well.

On an interpersonal level I think the relationship Isagi and Rin have is the main conflict, Isagi's dynamic with Kaiser is something like a side show that drives the situation with Rin forward since they're similar in nature. On a big plot-level I think the issue that is stirring is something much larger scale having to do with the fact that these teenagers are slowly losing their self worth over salary offers and internet opinions.

Just overall as soon as the NEL arc started the SHIFT in the energy of the story changed so quickly. Isagi was immediately separated from everyone he found comfort in from his earlier days at Blue Lock, isolating and setting him up for a lonely environment on top of what was about to be an already stressful and competitive environment. We started seeing "tweets" and internet comments about the kids and the kids taking that to determine how valuable they are. And then the salary thing...fucking crazy.

It's giving the same energy as the hero rankings from my hero academia which, not good. The major difference is that in Blue Lock it'll likely be upheld as a bad thing lol.

Like these people were always lurking in the background but haven't really been that important, and I just breezed past this interaction several times because I wasn't interested when I came across it. But upon re-reading everything I'm seeing that yeah this is Not Good lol.

I think what feels so Ick (intentionally, I don't think this will go unaddressed) is that they've all been turned into products. And that's not a good thing.

idk i just hope the tournament organizers see this (and tbh probably inevitably rome also) as a real wakeup call as to how scheduling goes and how they need to give them a goddamn break. i honestly doubt it because i do not think any organizers really give a shit about the actual players (otherwise this would probably not have happened tbh) but i hope they get it together

I have a question: Why don’t people like and, in a way, hate Ferran? I know the number one reason is obviously his performance, but some also mention his personality and character. Personally, I don’t know… As a player, he doesn’t impress me either.

i have absolutely nothing against him as a person, so i don't know. he seems like a genuinely nice guy off the pitch. he annoys me a lot on the pitch sometimes (even though he does occasionally have his moments, i just wish he had them a lot more regularly)

[swaggypsyduck]

it's not a want anymore it's a need

[the-physicality]

nba teams should dock pay for missing free throws. because how is your lowest paid player making almost the full salary cap for a wnba team and you're shooting 66.7%. in a game where the whole difference was free throws. #embarrassing

Dude i gotta watch squid games season 2

[fereldanwench]

[hungwy]

nrg and acend have left apex within the same week because apex is being kept unprofitable by EA. really fucked

[grantmentis]

Wish we had salary information it make trades make way more sense

[agnesandhilda]

these guys are on the same team and they're sabotaging each other like this I'm gonna lose it. my man you sink or swim together you benefit no matter who scores the point

[reformedmercymain]

Seeing this on Twitter is making me laugh because at the highest level competitive overwatch pro players are considering retiring after Stockholm this year because the meta is so fucking painful 💀

[muirneach]
