[marsreds]

and another thing!!!

frieren is a series where to love is to remember!! we see frieren and co. taking care of the statues because it's an act of love!!! constantly, continuously, affection is carrying someone's memory forward!! himmel wants a thousand statues so frieren isn't lonely!! so that they don't fade into fairy tales!!

and then!!! and then!! you give us macht??? the gold he makes is worthless!! because it cannot be changed, it cannot be broken, it cannot be melted!! because the point isn't that it's "gold" the point is that it freezes a moment, it makes a monument that will never fade nor tarnish!! what is that if not an act of love??

I really want to know how Lilith Sorrengail feels about trying her best to get her youngest daughter away from whatever it was that her dad supposedly found in the Archives after Brennan 'died', just to get said daughter even more involved with the tyrrish rebellion two: electric boogaloo.

Honestly though- I went into RHRN expecting some silly jokes woven around a concert, and while we did get that, I really didn't expect just how unabashedly sincere and heartfelt the story part was gonna be.

I think themes about persevering through a shitty and unfair world by finding joy where you can and understanding that ends and transitions aren't always scary is something that a lot of us need to hear. We all went through a huge upheaval four years ago. The status quo was irreversibly changed and a lot of our lives were irreversibly put on a different track.

I think a lot of us are bruised and tired and burnt out and hearing someone say ... "Yeah, it's shit, but it's always been shit. We just need to get through this together. It's okay. " ?

At least that's something I really needed.

I’ve been binge-watching Alissa Nguyen on yt, and it got me thinking about how Ulla would absolutely let Varian “help” in the kitchen. Like yeah sure he poured pure onion powder on the fish and used cayenne instead of salt, but he looked so cute while doing it.

And Quirin tries to act tough and won’t let baby Varian help out, but then one look at those big blue eyes and now their kitchen is covered in flour (they were making a salad.)

Book Kasidet and Sea Dechchart as Shone and Kang in Only Boo! Episode 5 (2024) [X]

[galedekarios]

not ppl taking the dark urge dialogue in the epilogue that they adopt any children as "proof" that gale is totally not against being a father despite saying so and the clues we canonically have in the game supporting that as well

to provide context:

a) this is not gale suggesting it, it's durge and it's durge specific

b) it's a warning durge gives here: if they had biological children (and if that'd be possible at all depending on your char), it'd spread their bhaalspawn essence and thus the dark urge, cursing the child with it

c) gale doesn't even react but goes into the default line for accepting the proposal bc given the context with durge, it's clear that this is no actual invitation to have children

Hell Biker - Day 68

Race: Fiend

Alignment: Neutral

June 10th, 2024

AWWW SHIT, HERE WE GO! PUMP YOUR ENGINES, LET THOSE EXHAUST PIPES SHOOT, AND ROCK AND ROLL FOR THE ONE, THE ONLY, THE BEST MOTORCYCLIST THE VORTEX WORLD HAS TO OFFER- HELL BIKERRRRR!!!!!

Ahem. The last of the non-biblical fiends in the series stands out to many, whether it be for his Hulk Hogan voice, strange origin, or just how odd he is even compared to his fellow fiends. Sure, Matador is a bullfighter, and Daisoujou is a mummified monk, but the strange mix of Ghost Rider, Biker Gangs, and cheesiness has captivated many, me included. Unfortunately, in Tony4U's video on the Fiends, he had to brush over Hell Biker for a... variety of reasons, but let's just say that the Angel of Hell has a lot of things, uh, riding on his portrayal.

Starting off, and this is very explicit, but Hell Biker is directly based on the long-running motorcycle club called the Hell's Angels, the largest biker gang in the world. For the most part, these clubs consist of people who stand for freedom and ride outside of the 'laws of society-' things like romanticized ideals that many may see in, say, the Yakuza, being people who aren't afraid to step out of line of the law to do what they see as right, or, in the case of the club, to express true freedom.

Hell Bikers' name in Japanese is, quite literally, ヘルズエンジェル, translating to Hells Angel, which makes the reference even more explicit beyond the resemblance of, not only the leather trench coat, but also the Motorcycle it uses. The design of the motorcycle seems to be based primarily off of classic 1980-90's Harley-Davidson cycles, as pictured below.

I really like the detail on the motorcycle that Hell Biker uses, however, that his bike's top is pink, with the sticker being a heart with a lightning bolt struck through it- it adds a far more playful twinge to the design, showing that it isn't just the bike of a hard-ass gangster. I like to think that the heart and pink coloring are just his way of showing appreciation to his mother- there is a common stereotype in several movies and TV shows regarding biker gang members, after all, being that a lot of them are mama's boys.

Back to the Hells Angels, the club formed in the United States in 1948 as a joint collaboration between several smaller gangs- namely, a breakaway from the Pissed Off Bastards Biker Gang named Otto Friedli who left due to a dispute joined up with several people from other gangs, each of which joined together to form the syndicate we know today. Since then, it ballooned into a worldwide gang with members all across the globe. Notably, the Hell's Angels aren't an explicitly criminal organization like most organized crime groups- despite having an organized structure, every charter in the group is their own person who does their own thing. As such, while it is arguable that the leaders of the gang are complacent in some horrible things, such as human trafficking, many people in the gang simply wanted a sense of community, and actively refuse to participate in criminal business.

Now, drifting back to Hell Biker, the series seems to portray him as one of those bikers in the gang that uses it as an excuse to get away with criminal activity and violent lashing out, driven by hatred towards both himself and the world at large. As the compendium almost always states regarding the fiend,

[Hell Biker']s anger with himself and the world causes him to lash out, that everyone else would suffer as well.

Yeesh. I think he needs therapy, not a biker gang. Design-wise, Hell Biker takes a lot of cues, interestingly enough, from a completely different flaming skeletal biker- the golden-age Marvel hero, Ghost Rider! Who hopefully needs no introduction. Of course, given the idea behind the demon being a biker, the fact that he's a Fiend, and how badass flames generally look when being driven on Motorcycles, it's hard not to explain the similarity. Overall, though, Hell Biker is a very interesting Demon, and he stands out alongside Matador as one of the fiends who breaks many rules left unspoken within the series. Much like Alice! Funny that.

please don't kill me hells angels people im harmless i swear

Happy Anniversary to the game that fully swallowed me into the Splatoon fandom here's to more brainworms for years to come.

[nanamis-bigtie]

i understand why people wanted (and still want) jujutsu kaisen to be darker and more tragic than it turned out but, not going to lie, pulling a tragic end now, in the last chapter, after delivering a conclusion consistent with the main theme and yuji's character development, just for the sake of cynical shock value would be EXTREMELY stupid of gege, and i do hope he's not going to ruin his story like that

[cessmaga]

nah y'all have no idea I love cageblind and the movies, and I'm just so disappointed that they are not in the same universe and timeline and barely have any contents of them, like they have so much potential as a duo 😭😭

maybe the fact that two people are getting their bond stronger and working with their flaws as the time went is so interesting to me 😭 (ngl johnshi actually sounds good in paper even before the mk1 timeline??)

I know I'm always mourning that I always ended up in the rarest of the rarepairs but omg I'm getting frustrated that these two don't barely any contents I'm yearning man 😭😭
