Since I was going through the Super Digest Books whilst looking for popularity poll results anyway, here's a couple more highlights

Q85: When are detective Takagi and Miwako Satou going to get married? A: I wonder (laughs). If they married one of them would have to leave the force, though (laughs) >>Super Digest Book 90+

Q23: When Sato will be married, will she retire from the police force? Or will she get transferred to another police division? A: But she likes to be a policewoman… >>Super Digest Book 40+

Q97: When detective Takagi and detective Sato will get married, which of them will be in charge of cooking? A: Well of course, that’ll be Takagi (laughs) >>RECIPE PLUS Super Digest Book

malewife takagi real and confirmed

also, a lot of the time, Gosho avoids giving any of the ongoing "mysteries" away, so like..

Q62: Are Sera-san and Haibara cousins? A: Stop asking in a roundabout way, I'm not going to get tricked! (laughs)

Gosho: no spoilers!!! Gosho, 30 seconds later:

Q87: While solving all the problems in Conan, will the mystery on Kaito's father getting killed get solved in the mean time as well? A: They won't be solved at the same time! Moreover, he didn't get killed!

both from the Super Digest Book 80+, released in April 2015.. I'm not that knowledgeble of the MK series but I'm pretty sure this wasn't revealed at any point before this,, what was he even thinking lmao

there's a forum post from the DCTP forums where the translation was posted and people were talking about how much they hate this, if anyone's interested in reading the reactions. seeing people speculate about things is pretty fun too. Super Digest Book 80+ Translations

ECHOES OF WISDOM END GAME SPOILERS YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

As much as I loved this game, the ending I found disappointing. It was a good story, but the actual gameplay fell flat, and I honestly think it's because they took away swordfighter mode.

Now I get it, it's meant to be the hero and the priestess and link is the hero like that's his job, but when you've gone the whole game with Zelda being the lead character, you've worked swordfighter mode into how you play the game, it felt like I was a fly on the wall in the final battles and it genuinely soured the experience for me.

It also felt like it should have been an end for a multiplayer game? Like it was odd doing that single player.

I think if they had found a way for it to make sense in the story for Zelda to keep swordfighter mode, then this would have been a near perfect experience for me. I loved the final boss concept. Seeing Null look like a horrifying version of Tri was really impactful, and I loved the overall story of the game. It was odd to have the ending make Zelda feel like a side character again.

You know when you’re dreading bad news from weeks and you would think your brain is ready for it by now but then it comes and it turns out, things still suck? Yeah.

Life Update 7/13/2024

I'm alive.

There's a lot that's gone on and is going on but I'm here. There's of course a lot going on in my life and has been going on that has once again kept me away. I will not divulge or explain, because I don't wish to. It was a lot, still is a lot, and is extremely personal.

I'm not leaving the undertale fandom as a creative, however, I will be leaving the fandom as a social participant. There's too much corruption and bitterness, too much drama and judgement in the social side of the fandom that I choose not to tolerate anymore.

There are too many people that would rather lie about who they are and what they believe as well as abuse or cut off people that have done them no harm in order to be liked and to gain approval. Acting as if life is one long extended episode of black mirror where your social ranking matters more than empathy to a fellow human, where the echo chamber is god and what's logically right and wrong doesn't matter in the face of personal opinion and paranoia.

I'm too old, and too tired.

Fandom is supposed to be fun, not a nightmare of walking on broken glass and eggshells. I have my small handful of friends that have proven that they are genuine people that legitimately don't care about the nonsense that goes around and imaginary pitchforks that can make them more popular or gain them more friends if they were to follow abusive hate trends and ignorant accusation posts lacking concrete evidence. I feel safe with them and will keep to them, always.

I no longer have time to deal with the "misunderstandings" or "confusion" that happens so often in large groups playing telephone or with those that try to fit words to their own narrative and understanding without attempting to think outside their own preverbal box of preconceived notions and bias, and don't care to do so.

I will no longer attempt to clear up anything or try to be understood by those that honestly don't know me and don't wish to, and who clearly only seek a thrill in causing pain and taking their own projected hurts and frustrations out on someone.

There will be no conversations. Every single online stranger reading this now is free to think what they want about me, even the untruths if they're so inclined.

I'm done trying.

The internet is where the hateful and cruel strive behind an anonymous mask—one often disguised in kindness and supposed acceptance—and of which is the whole of their life and meaning. But it is not mine.

Them, and the internet at large, is not worth my time, health, or life.

When I joined this fandom after my mother's death a few years ago I signed up for an experience that could bring a smile to my face while I gave one in turn to others while I dealt with my grief. Not to be shoved into situations where uneducated youths and adults in their 30s-40 with the maturity of previously said youths go rampart with the need to harm others, either to get ahead or for their own benefit in manipulation to get something out of others.

I have steadily been pulling away more and more over the years because of this. Struggling with the overflow of depression and stress that it has caused me, in turn making me push away and withdraw from people who didn't deserve it in many instances because my own value and self-worth tanked due to the self-deprecating thoughts it caused me.

I am not a saint.

I've done my fair share of wrongs, some of which I will never personally feel I have accounted for properly. I stood silent out of fear of being attacked when I should have said something to help someone wrongly accused by supposed friends and mutuals, I hid in the shadows and didn't think to lend a hand to people I saw were clearly in need because I didn't feel worthy of doing so, and probably many other things that I am unfortunately not aware of because they were never brought to my attention.

Because most people online don't believe in actual conversation but rather in blocking and spreading misinformed assumptions, and in dreaded call out posts so as to earn brownie points for "exposing" (or the nicer form of saying it, but is still just as cruel because the posters know that it WILL lead to harassment regardless of evidence or truth no matter if spread in public or private, but wish to play ignorant anyways — "spreading awareness") of someone. Granted these wrongs were for the most part carried out in my early fandom days that doesn't excuse the fact that they happened.

I still did the exact same thing that was done to me. I unknowingly perpetuated a never ending cycle of hurt, both out of fear and ignorance and out of a naïve want to be loved and accepted.

But I refuse to let myself be a victim or to think of myself as one out of guilt for those wrongs and loneliness anymore, and I refuse to witness others be abused and forced to feel the same way I did over the most menial and redundant bullshit that goes around and is somehow supposed to define your character to the dumbed digital masses.

I'm done.

Plain and simple.

I will be permanently turning off asks and no longer responding to any form of DM unless it is from someone I have initiated a conversation with, have engaged with before, or shares a mutual friend with me that can assure me that they're a decent person, and that I feel comfortable with. I will still on occasion post about updates or share something for the few that may want to keep following, but my personal accounts will largely be silent.

Just because I'm silent won't mean that I'm gone though.

It just means I'm not willing to be poisoned any longer, and am content at looking in from afar, if even that.

There's a lot of good people in this space, I know that, and it saddens me the possibilities I will miss out on in getting to meet or know any of them beyond the ones I know already, but I only get one life to live before I go six feet under, and I choose to put me first.

I find it so funny and also frustrating that nonbinary folks are so often misgendered even if they try to appear as androgynous as possible

Like, for the record, you don't need to appear or to be androgynous to be nonbinary of course

But even if we try, we always get the same treatment

I don't usually go around searching for discourse but I just so happen to like Deltarune, for example

Kris is nonbinary, everyone refers to them as "they/them" and it's so explicitly shown that they are not the player, not the representation of "us" in this world

But we all still hear "Uhh they're the player insert, uhh he/him!!" or something

I watched a walkthrough of Rain Code not that long ago and Halara is literally a nonbinary flag color palette mf, their gender is unspecified but because they're voiced by a woman, they're "she/her"

My main fandom is Cookie Run and there are so many nbs

Dragons are nonbinary, many kids are nonbinary, Roguefort Cookie, one of sexymans of all time is refered to as "they/them", Lobster Cookie is they/them, Abyss Monarch Cookie is they/them, and many more

But people still slap the "he/him" or "she/her" label because it's their headcanon or whatever

... I don't see them all doing that for he/him or she/her folks 👀 (There probably are people like that, but it's probably not the same demographic)

So, uh... Moral of the story

Be who you are and express yourself however you want (to your ability given that in many placse it isn't safe to be yourself (Me too mate))

Rant over back to being sick I go

[a-crystalclearsquid]

i finished the dragon republic with tears in my eyes and starting the burning god with still said tears, not giving myself time to grieve because just like rin, i am self-destructive

anyways, fuck yin vaisra. i hope he dies the most gruesome death in the burning god

[sunshineandviolets]

its frustrating, Eloise was my favourite character in the show and then part 2 came out and the complete character assisination.. you telling me she wouldnt be loud & opinionated when finding out her friend was forced getting married off too a much much older guy??

also with Cressida. part 1 perfectly set up a redemption arc for her, made us sympatise and get to know more about her character. only for part 2 to have others completely shit on her character throughout, have her only friend not even care to listen to her or even had a single conversation again.

How is it that Cressida was the only one that dealt with all the consquences but Penelope ended the season completely fine???

[timewizard-oldman]

i will never hate any bird. i love you geese i love you seagulls i love you pigeons i love you sparrows i love you vultures etc etc. all of them are special 2 me.

[the-paris-of-people]

But genuinely I'm sad NHIE is ending not only because of its personal meaning to me, but because I've met so many lovely friends/mutuals through this site from our shared obsession and have been in contact/touch with them over the past couple years, the longest I have been in with any fandom. I just want to let you know I love you all sm

[tillthelandslide]

I've decided I'm just going to rot today because I feel so mentally shit and I can't seem to do or say anything right and I seem to be pissing people off and I wanna be alone but also don't want to be alone and I hate anxiety and depression and if they could kindly fuck off I'd really appreciate it

[possum-playground]

So I know I don’t post very often, but it’s actually fucking astonishing how many people voted for a man who WILL take their rights away and make this actual shithole of a country into a living hell for anyone who isn’t white, straight, or wealthy.
