I'd like to talk about why Rite Here Rite Now has script problems (as well as Ghost lore in general).
Even taking into account that this is a concert movie, a movie in which the presentation of the characters is of secondary importance, there are still certain requirements to that presentation. Over the years, we have been told a story. There is an expectation that there is some consistency in that story: causes must produce effects. I'm talking about the point that in a “good story” the actions of the characters have consequences. If a cold-blooded murder occurs, the characters responsible must either go through an arc of remorse or receive some sort of retribution for their actions. You can't kill three iconic characters and just forget about that and move on. The consequences can be different, depending on how the author wants to develop this theme. But they have to be.
I'm not really clear on how Tobias is developing Copia. The first time he appeared, he threatened Terzo behind his back and promised to stomp him into the dirt. You can still find that video on the official Instagram. Obviously, he was involved in the murder that Sister organized and had a vested interest, or maybe he was even an executioner himself. Either way, he ascended to the position over the corpses of his predecessors, and that's clearly what he was aiming for. Even the introduction to RHRN shows him as a maximally selfish character who thinks only of his own success and survival: he believes that he is a better entertainer than his brothers and that he doesn't deserve the same fate. However, the movie tries to instill in us that Copia is a good man who is worthy of sympathy and hope that his fate will be better than his predecessors. I wonder why exactly he has earned such privileges.
Sister Imperator is portrayed from the beginning to the very end as an overbearing, dominant, cruel woman. She obviously hated the brothers and didn't just organize their murder, but did it with relish (a cruel joke just before the injection). She has taken over all the remaining characters, becoming the de facto leader of the Clergy, and has succeeded in building her empire. She controls Copia's every step and also tells Nihil what to do. Yes, we're shown the motherly side of Sister in the movie: she seems to really love her son and wants to leave him an empire to inherit. But that doesn't atone for her cruel behavior, sadism and the crimes she has committed in the past.
Nihil is shown as an irresponsible and weak-willed man, an unreliable lover, a careless father who allows his sons to die. He tends to wallow in fantasies, replacing reality with them and allowing horrific events to happen literally in front of his nose. He was a bad father to his official sons and a bad father to Copia. He is probably the only one in the movie who went through personal growth: he was finally able to talk to his youngest son, finally became a good father to him. But his older sons are still dead and it doesn't seem to be a problem for him.
Apparently, Tobias decided to move from more gory plots to more family-oriented ones. All three characters are now presented as a caring, somewhat weird, but loving family. Their past has been left out of the picture. They haven't drawn conclusions from their mistakes, they haven't atoned for their wrongs, they haven't gotten what they deserve. The screenwriter seems to have forgotten that the members of this family recently killed each other with minimal regret. It doesn't matter now, because the previous characters are just “taxodermically propped up” stuff. The woman who manipulated other people and destroyed everyone who stood in the way of her ambitious plans, dies a peaceful death in the family circle, having achieved all her goals and leaving an inheritance to her son. A happy ending for the sadistic bitch. She's now a positive character, and her peaceful death closes the possibility for a fairer ending to this arc.
Copia who all along demonstrated passivity, infantilism and inability to make any decision, also got his happy ending. You may feel differently about Copia, but I still remember him wearing Terzo's white gloves in concert like some kind of trophy. I remember him threatening Terzo in a tape deck commercial. Why have we all collectively decided to forget that? This is a man who got everything for free, thanks to his mother's patronage. We're even shown how he spends his free time: playing video games, loafing around and avoiding adult responsibilities like paying bills. He just goes with the flow, accepting the blood-stained regalia that is handed to him. And now once again we see another promotion just falling into his lap. What did he do to deserve it? Yes, I agree, he did a good job on stage during his eras. So did the First, the Second and the Third! However, now they are “taxodermically propped up” and he is Frater Imperator.
Apparently Tobias is now targeting a younger audience and use a more pedagogical style. If this is true, perhaps he should have shown how the characters take responsibility for their past. The statement “live here and now, stop thinking about the past” sounds immoral coming from the mouths of characters who have committed multiple murders and have not repented of them. Injustice and inconsistency are two words that come to mind when I think about how this story ended. Sometimes I feel like these characters are just plastic toys for Tobias to play with, and in the process he forgets where the game started.
The problem is that some do remember. Some remember everything.

Ever since the "Sucker" official visualizer and Episode 2 of Arcane Season 2 released I've had An Idea.
6 Chem Barons, 6 Vandelay bosses.
(Og screenshot under the read more)
Screenshot is from Episode 2 (Act 1) of Arcane Season 1, which is just a slightly pulled out shot from the one shown in the Official Visualizer (the video below).
youtube
I don't think the chem barons have equivalents in the hi fi rush bosses especially since their roles, personalities, and methodologies are different, but I think it all looks pretty cool :]
#hi fi rush#hi-fi rush#hfr#hi fi rush fanart#kale vandelay#hi fi rush kale#hi fi rush korsica#hi fi rush rekka#hi fi rush roquefort#hi fi rush mimosa#hi fi rush zanzo#schellisart#schellis polished art#with this ive finally drawn all the bosses! my god zanzos cybernetics needed some getting used to#also im now at the point where i no longer need a ref for kales design#hes In My Head now i hate it here /lh#also cant wait for acts 2 and 3 of arcane i need to see how viktors going to end up#i need viktor to be well. please fortiche and riot please#Youtube

#aaart#bedivere fgo#my sillyyyy <333#i have . notes about him in my brain#bc i think one of bedi's best attributes is his loyalty#but his loyalty isn't him yesmanning yknow? like he's WILLING to say this is wrong you shouldnt be doing this to arthur if needbe#but bedialter is that loyalty with the morality dial broken off#he does not give a shit if his master/whoever he's aligned with is evil or bad he is loyal to them over even his own sense of right and wro#also the misconception of bedi using dark magic is a real thing and VERY recent as far as i know#ive seen a lot of people claim very specifically that bedivere used dark magic or was a sorcerer and there was a story where he almost got#burned at the stake for it but arthur swooped in and saved him#but i can say with a good bit of certainty that there's no basis for that in the 'original' arthurian 'canon' bc i've never found anything#about it with a source#i may be wrong tho i'm autistic not a medievalist so .#anyway back on track. my pookie bedialter#mwah mwah mwah mwah mwah mwah i wike him#his hair goes dark at the ends like that bc its another riot specific deep cut in that. his voice actor also acts for another white haired#character in another anime i like (konoha from mekakucity actors) and (spoilers for that ig) his character gets possessed and color swapped#so when he's possessed and getting sillay he's got dark hair and i thought it looked cute on bedi idk#i like him i might make changes here n there (and figure out his outfit more) but. im posting him now bc i think he's hot

Is there a canonical reason why Sol was dripped out in the middle of the Holy War during his greasy trash man era?
Do you think Kliff gave him an allowance and one day and he went into town then came back Riot branded head to toe? Do you think Riot sponsored the Holy War?
I like to imagine Kliff put him in charge of the month’s funds for food and Sol spent it all on his designed Riot Holy Order Uniform. Then Kliff said “Haha Sol you have spent all of our money we will now starve” and then it was a really awkward month that made Sol decide to leave the Order
Post-Begin to post-Crusades Sol basically doesn't have any lore so you can just say whatever and it has just as high odds of maybe being true some day tbh lol
Sol was a bounty hunter before joining the Holy Order though. Probably he rolled up with fat stacks of cash, they showed him the uniform and he was like "fuck OFF I only wear red," and then had his boys over at Riot make him a custom tailored Holy Order uniform with its stupid fingerless-not-fingerless gloves with steel fingernails with RIOT stamped on them
but then Sol didn't have any money left over and ate all the Holy Order's food and Kliff said they will now starve anyway
#asks#I can't find the picture with the nails that say RIOT on them but trust me... it's out there#I will admit that I didn't look very hard because I'm tired and kind of very stoned and don't want to plug my hard drive in#take my word for it. Citation: Daisuke told me#drugs cw#actually someone bug me tomorrow and I can find it when I'm not stoned. It's not on junkyarddogmkii yet#There are so many gg images I haven't posted here yet but a lot of them are crusty and need cleaning up and uurghhhhhh#Making composites is a PAIN IN THE ASSssss it's so tedious#I need to get the HOS images on here though... If I don't post HOS no one will....#Ok I need to go to bed now enjoy that tangent

thinking about the fact that if Neil had died in Baltimore, literally none of Andrew's family would even know he was broken as much as he was by it. Like they saw him choke Kevin, but even after Baltimore, Nicky assumed it was just a fling.
#Like Bee and Renee might have the most knowledge#but how likely is it that Andrew would just shut them out anyways after that?#I think Wymack. Kevin and. in fact. Aaron would have SOME idea#but like I'm just saying#most of them had that Baltimore reunion to sorta solidify how important Neil was to Andrew#and if he'd died they wouldn't have that#all they'd have is Andrew choking Kevin out after the riot#I think Aaron had a good idea of it BECAUSE of the Baltimore reunion#which is why he was able to so quickly realize that he could trade Neil for Katelyn#and I think Kevin and obviously wymack knew before that#but still.#without that reunion scene it's just Andrew having adopted another stray that he'd now failed to protect and I'm just#listen..... I read another MC death/canon divergence fic and then just here I am#thinking about the fact that Andrew would be 100% wrecked by that and almost no one would even know exactly how messed up he is about it#it's fine I'm fine#aftg#Andrew Minyard#Neil Josten#Andreil

I can’t stop thinking about the guilt Reo feels towards his own despair and sadness.
It’s not just that he’s a sheltered kid who’s always had everything he wanted at his reach; he’s also incredibly self-aware and holds himself to impossibly high standards.
He’s so ashamed of everything that can be perceived as “ugly” about him: his selfishness, his misplaced pride. These are things that he’s never really had to face before, but being abandoned by Nagi has served as a wake-up call of sorts and suddenly he can’t see anything BUT that.
The way he keeps blaming himself for wanting to hold Nagi back, keep him in a cage the same way his parents wanted for him… AND YET. and yet he’s still unable to wave Nagi off with a smile, he’s unable to let go because Nagi has become so inherently intertwined with his dream that he can no longer conceive one without the other
#nagireo#reonagi#epinagi#episode nagi#epinagi spoilers#edel talks#mygod#i’m lowkey annoyed we didn’t get the you’re a pain scene here bc#it’s been two months of edging#but#reo’s character is so well written#and i find his feelings so real and relatable#now if we don’t get Nagi’s pov in the next chapter i WILL riot#i need to see nagi’s pain for a change

man, TV finales really do love to throw in a bunch of awkward last-minute shippy stuff for no reason huh :/
#if the TNG finale does what it looks like and gives Riker a jealousy plotline#after SEVEN YEARS of practically comedic levels of 'Deanna can do what she wants I'm not the boss of her'#i will riot#also i don't care about Picard and Crusher but it seems really mean and unnecessary#for the writers to make two charactes get together just so they can establish that they divorce in the future#like come on#Anyway.#i would say 'The Nineties (derogatory)' but things have not necessarily improved#to boldly split infinitives#tng liveblog#at least my Terrible Guy is here now maybe he can save this
