#That feeling when you skip the first two seasons of a show and don't know the new characters

[gods-favorite-autistic]

I don’t know how I’ve just realized this but like we’ve had a lot of injustice this season considering the fact that the big mystery is surrounding a fallen goddess of justice

Like we got

Riz possibly not being able to get into college

Sklonda having her pension withheld for no reason

Fig getting dropped from her record label

Gorgug having to take three years of artificer at once because he’s too nice (eventually having to shed that part of himself at times to succeed)

Fabian finally getting to go home to his mom after not seeing her for months only for her to immediately leave him alone for months on end when he clearly doesn’t know how to fend for himself

Adaine not performing well in class because she can’t afford her class despite having saved the world and literally being the elven oracle

Kristen literally getting expelled for something that had been cleared up before despite literally earning and working her ass off for an A

The Ratgrinders being so much farther ahead in everything than the Bad Kids because they found a way to cheat the system despite the Bad Kids literally saving the world

Like this definitely has something to do with the bringing back of the corrupted goddess of justice right?

the book of bill is so fucking unserious first of all ford has TWO gay lovers one of whom is a sentient interdimensional triangle and the other is a man who LEFT HIS WIFE AND CHILD to go fuck his old college roommate who chose said sentient interdimensional triangle over him. AND THEN ford gets all pissy when his human situationship spends christmas with his family instead of him and his triangle bf/his MUSE for some gay ass fucking reason mysteriously disappears and then FINALLY he absolutely fucking FUMBLES fiddleford and breaks up with bill who loses his mind and begs ford to come back by writing on post it notes like a fucking SIMP until ford is SUCKED INTO A PORTAL after seeing his con man brother for the first time in decades and bill spends the next thirty years yearning after a fucking nerd while plotting world domination. THEN out of pure post breakup rage (albeit 30 years later) he starts the apocalypse and tries to murder two twelve year olds but instead ends up getting killed himself. then he begins planning his revenge while in the grave and is eventually sent to MULTIVERSE VILLAIN SPACE THERAPY. am i getting this right.

Tango spent hours in the redstone guts of Hungry Hermits, battling bugs, reaching peak frustration—only for Gem to log on and join him, followed shortly by Etho. There was teasing, there was trolling; and then the visitors insisted on a playtest despite the bugs

And as Tango watched them scramble and panic and laugh; as the bugs appeared in full force but failed to stop the fun; as Gem screamed for Etho to let her out of the fridge already; as the two players found their rhythm and beat the second day—the old Dungeonmaster’s grin returned to Tango’s face

He’d made a good game

nightbringer lesson 41

Welp. That sure was a lesson. As always, my unfiltered thoughts and spoilers are below the cut. There will be screenshots, you have been warned.

Everybody still doesn't know we were gone. The only one who is aware of the fact that MC was in a different timeline is Solomon, as far as we know. It's possible that someone is hiding their knowledge, but I see no evidence of that currently.

HOWEVER. All the bros are SUPER clingy. Lucifer is constantly getting on their case about the fact that they can't leave MC alone. And at one point, he says he's feeling inexplicably giddy and he thinks that's what his brothers are feeling, too. So there is something that's changed and they can all kinda feel it... but nobody knows what it is and they all kinda just brush it off.

There's a lot of "huh we just saw each other but for some reason..." kinda stuff.

When Luke first sees us, that poor boy just bursts into tears. Simeon wants to pet our head, but we can also choose to hug him.

I have been known to have this affect on children, but still.

Overall, the brothers are being very much themselves. Beel is eating things and relating everything to food, Belphie is sleepy, Asmo loves pretty things, etc etc.

See what I mean? We did have some excellent one liners like this and I'll get to more of those lol.

My point is, nobody is acting off except for the thing where they all react a little weirdly to MC.

For a good chunk of the lesson, I was like... and where the HELL is Solomon after all this, huh?? But I'll get to him, too.

Because guess what? Diavolo has had another great idea and this time it's... the RAD Science Fair!!!

...

WHAT.

This feels very much like the usual thing they do where MC always has to have some kinda goal that requires them to spend time with each brother individually. I'm still not entirely sure how that's gonna shake out with this, though.

There are seven categories or "fields of study" as they're called. They all start with Devildom, so it's like Devildom math, Devildom geography, etc etc.

Diavolo tells them that the student council members are required to enter.

So they spend some time thinking about what category they want to go for.

There's this part where they're all heading home from RAD and MC starts to leave with Simeon and Luke. They tell you that not long ago, Simeon and Luke tried to go "home" to the HoL. Weird. All very weird. They all decide to go to a cafe instead.

They're talking about which category they're going to choose and then... Thirteen shows up!

Thirteen is so excited to see MC she has to give them a hug! Huh. How weird. (It's not weird, my love, you can throw your arms around me anytime.)

ANYWAY, they have a whole discussion and I loved how involved she was. Though we never have enough Thirteen content. And of course, she's still not dateable...

Then we find out that Lucifer has just chosen his brothers' categories for them anyway. MC gets to choose who they want to pair with. I chose Mammon, but I don't know if this actually matters or not. Usually I go back and try different options, but I decided to leave this one for now to see if it seems like it's going to make a difference in upcoming lessons. I'll report back if it seems to change anything later.

At this time, you also find out that Diavolo has decided to enter all seven categories, too. Barbatos is also entering, but only three categories. I almost lost my shit at this part but at least Barb gets to do only three. Diavolo is a crazy man who enjoys doing this sorta stuff, but Barb needs to take it easy he already works to much!

And that's basically it! There's this one cute part where you're finally at the HoL where you can choose to hang out with a set of brothers. No matter who you choose, it's a cute little scene and it always ends saying you had a lovely time together~ (Personally I thought the one with Asmo, Belphie, and Lucifer was the most entertaining lol.)

You talk to Solomon on the phone at some point too and he tells you...

Yeah. I was like ARE YOU KIDDING ME. GET BACK HERE RIGHT NOW I NEED YOU.

And then he hits us with this:

And I was like, fine I forgive you.

BUT THEN. Spoilers here for the locked lesson (41-A, not the hard mode):

The locked lesson is of your very first night back. You're in your room at the HoL with Solomon. He tells you he's going to stay the night because the fact that the two of you suddenly appeared in this timeline might make things unstable. And if you're together, it'll be easier to tell if something's going wrong. Sounds like a feeble excuse to me, old man. I know what you really want.

But he also says this:

OH. Here I am like, it's a couple hundred, maybe a couple thousand? NOPE. SEVERAL MILLENNIA.

But then the brothers burst in and they're like we are not going to let you stay here alone with MC! So they have a gaming tournament in the common room.

Then when it's really time to go to bed, Lucifer stops you and Solomon before you get back to your room. He straight up kisses you on the forehead and says sweet dreams with a stupid smug grin before leaving and Solomon is like huh. That just happened.

YEAH WELL.

Solomon is back on his, you'll never be mine bullshit. (I'm not blaming him, it's not his fault, but it bothers me how often this narrative comes up because we never get the choice to resolve it. By telling him how much we love him.)

Of course if you tell him to cheer up, though...

Yeah, right after this we got a fade to black because you know he might've been talking about something innocent, like a kiss. But if I'm left to fill in the blank myself... well, let's just say I'm still in my smut mode.

Spoilers for the hard lesson now:

It's silly times with the Little Ds! I'm just glad we got more Dia and Barb content, to be real with you. They're pretty cute with the Little Ds.

Right after Barb says this, looking super aggrieved about it, Diavolo just laughs happily. Classic.

Extra stuff:

After the second story node, you get to see a chat between Raphael and Simeon. Raphael tells Simeon that Michael has summoned him, so he needs to go back to the CR for a few days. Simeon says okay and hopes that everything's all right. Then he tells Raphael to tell Diavolo. Raphael is like why? And Simeon says you're an exchange student from the CR, you have to get his permission to leave. And Raph is basically like okay, fiiiiiine lol.

Also, there is a very brief moment at the end of the last story node where we see Simeon acting odd. He's not really doing anything, he's just sorta grunting... like grh and frowning. If you ask him if he's okay, he says he's fine, he must not have gotten enough sleep. You get a chat between Luke and Simeon where Luke also asks him if he's okay and Simeon gives him the same excuse.

Sooooo what does any of this mean? I have no idea. Is it possible that the hard mode focusing on the Little Ds means there may be more to the Little Ds coming up? Is Simeon acting weird somehow related to Michael wanting to see Raphael? Does any of this Science Fair stuff mean anything or is it just another tactic to have MC spend time with their bro of choice? When is Solomon coming back? Why doesn't he have to enter the Science Fair? Simeon said that Diavolo wanted him and Luke to participate, so what about Solomon? Is he really out there gathering herbs? That feels like a weird thing to be doing at this particular moment.

And perhaps the most telling of all, what it does mean that this version of our characters remember things from the timeline we just left as if it only just happened to them?

All through the last two seasons, I have been trying to figure out why the characters from the past seemingly had memories of a future they haven't experienced yet. And now it's happening again. You could say they remember those past events, but they don't really seem to, do they? And even so, we now have confirmation that it would have been MILLENNIA ago for them. So this feels less like them remembering something that happened and more like they're just getting feelings that are related to the things that MC just experienced in the "past."

Ugh, okay, if I keep going I'm gonna make myself crazy. As always, we have not enough info and more questions than what we started with.

Onto my fave one liners:

Mammon's response to this is "Yikes!" And like... yeah, but damn Lucifer that's one hell of a threat lol.

Barbatos! Don't lump me in with them! :(

That was me in high school.

This part was just cute and wholesome in my opinion. This is the found family content that keeps me coming back to this game.

Anyway, after everything, I still just wanna know...

... where the FUCK is Nightbringer?

My favorite things from episode 5.02 …in no particular order

- TK blatantly checking out his husband in front of the entire 126.

- Mateo running after the man he saved to make sure he got the unicorn back. just stab me in the fucking heart with that needle why don't you bro.

- Paul and Marjan being so badass that they got the same exact score on their test. tying the record! together!

- Mateo's Paul impression when roleplaying with Owen. it was immaculate and my only complaint is we didn't get to see his Marjan impression after.

- When Tommy talks to Nancy and TK about Trevor's ex-wife and TK's reaction is to say, "well it sounds like her heart is in the right place" ... one thing about TK: he will always give someone the benefit of the doubt... unless your name is a soup brand and you're insulting his husband

- Carlos walking into the 126 with treats in hand not knowing the chaos that will result from only bringing ONE SINGULAR CRONUT.

- Marjan bossing around every person on that other fire crew, including their captain, while attempting to put out that fire. get 'em girl!

Guys what the actual hell I CANNOT WAIT TILL OCTOBER THAT’S TOO FAR AWAY, anyway screencap redraw of this sick shot from the teaser

I AM NOT GETTING OVER THE NEW MHA RECAP EPISODE. ☰☰▓

Izuku is training with Katsuki, trying to use blackwhip to capture Katsuki, while Katsuki is trying to get to Izuku.

Izuku is about to capture Katsuki, but that's when the memory of Katsuki getting impaled by Shigaraki/AFO suddenly comes into his mind.

The reason this memory hits Izuku is bc in a way, blackwhip looks like the quirk Shigaraki/AFO used to HURT Katsuki.

This causes Izuku to freeze up

Katsuki INSTANTLY notices something going on with Izuku.

Katsuki asks Izuku what is distracting him, while quickly closing in on him.

Because Izuku is no longer focusing, Katsuki is able to land an explosion on Izuku.

Katsuki tells Izuku that he needs to "cut that sentimental shit out" 💀 but here's why

Even though Katsuki said this, he doesn't have an aggressive tone while saying it. He then proceeds to tell Izuku that he won't be able to beat Shigaraki & AFO in the upcoming inevitable war if he is like this.

He's not meaning it in a mean way, though.

He's telling Izuku this bc he cares abt him. He doesn't want to see him hurt, just like how Izuku doesn't want to see HIM hurt. It's Katsuki's way of protecting him. His way of making sure he takes care of himself.

"Otohan has us in the tunnels. It's about to be over."

You know what's Crazy about this message, is Imogen specifically sent it toward the end of combat as a Hail Mary, but still couldn't bring herself to ask for help--to ask for anything at all, even in that moment of desperation--because when has begging Liliana for something ever worked for her?
