New Uru art! I don't think anyone's posted this here yet.

[indieblossoms]

made some stat sheets for 2nd year Sera, ability-less Sera, and half power Sera

I had no reason to do this i just felt like it

[freakinhorse123]

I really want the negative parental/parental adjacent relationships in the cast of unordinary to be explored more. cause like. at the moment it seems a lot like God-Tier families are absolute shit. Like John’s mum ran away from home because they wouldnt let her be with William. But also. 2 of them are physically abusive.

We see Sera’s negative relationship with her mum explored when she gets suspended. Her parents cut her off from the outside world and from her friends so she is forced to do what they want, and just in general her mum treats her horribly.

But also, i want to draw your attention to the similarities between this panel:

and this one.

Sera’s mum and valerie are the same type of shit

I desperately want to see Arlo free himself from val, like how Sera managed to get her parents to leave her alone. She treats him horribly to get what she wants and despite how some people think, she doesn’t care about him. If i could find the panel where she says ‘i have other nieces and nephews’ then that would prove it.

CHAPTER 308 ADVANCED OPINION ABOUT ARLO

ARLO IS FOCUSED ON SEARCHING FOR INFORMATION AND HE HEARDS THAT THEY TALK ABOUT SPECTER WHICH OBVIOUSLY THE ANTI-TERRORISM GROUP IS IN CHARGE OF THAT GROUP, BUT KASS SAYS THAT THE INFORMATION ABOUT EMBER IS IN THAT ANTI-TERRORISM GROUP, ARLO ALSO HEARD THAT GIVING INFORMATION ABOUT SPECTER GIVES A REWARD, KASS SHE TALKED ABOUT PROMOTION, SHE'S LOOKING FOR THAT, ARLO SHOULD GO TO THE ANTI-TERRORISM GROUP, THE CHAPTER ARLO STAYED HELPING KASS, THEY REMEMBERED REI AND ARLO SMILED AND SAID THE DIRECTOR IS NOT TO FAULT ABOUT REI, THAT DOING JUSTICE FOR REI IS INVESTIGATING EMBER AND AT THE END ARLO SAYS THAT IF THEY KNEW THAT THE GOVERNMENT BELIEVED EMBER

ARLO IS SO INTERESTING, AS A FAN I UNDERSTAND IT AND I WANT THEM TO UNDERSTAND IT, I ACCEPT THAT IT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE AND READ MOCKINGS ABOUT ARLO..

Seraphina and Arlo: The Brainwashing of High Tiers

Exposition:

— Remi, Episode 50.

There is a heavy implication that Seraphina and Arlo were raised in much the same way. The pressure on Seraphina comes from her parents, so I’ll extrapolate that the same goes for Arlo. This raises the question: how do the authorities create such a strong societal pressure on such a small percentage of the population? Most high tiers will probably not know any other high tiers besides their parents. Take Wellston Private High School for example: it’s the most prestigious private school around, and canonically has the “highest concentration of high tiers in the region”. There are six high tiers in Wellston. Apply this to god tiers specifically, and there are only three. Not to mention that this current group of students is uniquely strong, even for Wellston. In Rei’s senior year, he was the strongest at 5.8 max.

So much of this brainwashing relies on the parents to do all of the work, and it only takes one or two people to break the cycle. So how are the authorities creating this immense pressure? One tactic could be by isolating high tiers. There is a very widespread concept that one shouldn’t associate with those outside their level range. A caste system like this that affects everyone is much easier to create and maintain than an expectation for a small group, and it also means that high tiers are only being influenced by those who are also high level. This creates an echo chamber. I’ve researched cults and how they brainwash victims, and the first step in the process is isolating them in exactly this way.

But, if there are so few high tiers, how the hell are they supposed be isolated from other groups? The answer is that high tiers are just isolated in general. Take a look at Arlo: his only friend is Remi, and even her, he keeps at an arm’s length. Arlo is only close with Remi in the first place because he was close with Rei, who, at the time of meeting Arlo, was presumably close in level with him. [EDIT: I forgot about Holden, which I think says a lot about his relevance. He is kept at more than an arm’s length and doesn’t seem to have any actual influence on Arlo, let alone a deep relationship. He is also not presented as an equal.] Take a look at Seraphina: before meeting John, she didn’t seem to have any friends other than possibly Arlo. Seraphina and Arlo pre-John seemed to have had more of a professional relationship, and while they were not close in level, Arlo did fit the bill of being a fellow god tier, and strong enough to also be brainwashed.

Now let’s look at Remi. In episode 60, Cecile says to Remi: “And yet here you are... Always hanging around those two monkeys, Blyke and Isen. Letting them treat you as an equal even though you’re in a completely different league.” This struck me as odd because, aside from Cecile herself, the Wellston students closest in level to Remi were Arlo, Blyke, and Isen. And who is she friends with? She actually was doing a pretty good job at following that social convention, unless Cecile wanted to be friends with Remi, which she clearly didn’t. But... her friends were still not close enough to her level. Was she supposed to just not have friends at all? The answer seems to be a resounding yes. Can you think of any genuine friends that Cecile has either?

Friendship simply isn’t considered a necessity for high tiers.

But... why is it that Arlo and Seraphina were brainwashed differently? Creating a societal norm for an isolated group of people is one thing, because those people’s mindsets feed into each other. Putting pressure on individual families to keep them in line, but doing it all in different ways? That would be near impossible. My theory is that Seraphina recieved the typical high tier brainwashing, and that Arlo was raised differently because he was being groomed to work for the authorities. Seraphina didn’t have a set career path planned out for her, but if she’s trying to be “perfect” by the standards of those controlling her, she’s bound to end up going in a direction that pleases them. Arlo on the other hand was specifically planned to become an authority figure. That’s why his brainwashing is so centered on leadership. Also, growing up with direct contact to the authorities makes it more possible for them to customize his brainwashing in this way.

But does all of this apply to high tiers in general, or is it specific to god tiers? Let’s take a look at the high tiers in Wellston. We have Seraphina, John, Arlo, Terrence, Remi, Cecile, and Blyke. John is a unique circumstance because he wasn’t raised by high tiers, so we’ll cross him off the list. Terrence was also unique, so we can cross him off as well. Remi was different from the norm as well. Why is that? Well, Remi actually wasn’t raised by high tiers either. Rei said on screen that both of his parents were elites. We can cross Remi off. Blyke doesn’t fit the bill either, but that’s easy to explain. He was an elite for a large part of the story, and he shot up rather quickly. We don’t know much of his family, but he probably wasn’t expected to be a high tier at all, and was raised as an elite. (All of this also serves to emphasize how much of this brainwashing comes from a person’s parents.) That leaves only Seraphina, Arlo, and Cecile to look at.

Cecile does seem to have high tier brainwashing, but it’s not nearly as intense as with Seraphina and Arlo. She doesn’t seem “obsessive”, and she wasn’t one of the examples Remi mentioned in chapter 50. It’s clear that high tiers are brainwashed in general, but god tiers are kept on a much shorter leash. This makes sense, obviously, because keeping a population in control like that is less necessary the lower the level. However, it’s also a chicken an egg situation: god tiers are both more important to keep in control, and also easier to keep in control. It’s important to note just how many exceptions we had to cross off. People like Remi and Blyke aren’t actually that unusual— a lower leveled high tier is much more likely to have non-high tier parents, or to have not always been a high tier themselves, or just in general, to have way more day-to-day interaction with non-high tiers. The brainwashing gets more and more diffused the lower down the ladder you go.

sera!!

This panel was too cute to not draw #2.

[unordinaries]

unordinary 340 spoilers

so i’ve been thinking about it and on one hand, isen suggesting they leave john and run is a pretty sobering moment because he really is just clinging to the first real opportunity he has to protect his best friends who won’t stop getting into situations where he quite literally can’t but on the other hand it is also kinda like. (gently grabs isen by the shoulders) hey man. we saw valerie’s level. i think you’re gonna need that guy later

[hesitantsorrows]

Before Sera's ability was revealed I remember there were loads of comments along the lines of 'damn I want a gaming super power!' lol

Also.... First sign of the Joker?

Arlo , chapter 310

Arlo is so important as a character, that he will have information from Sera about Orrin, Arlo will have his place working in anti-terrorism and he will have Kass as an ally if Arlo reveals the truth, also that Remi already knows that Arlo is working with the authorities to help her. I want arlo to choose to support remi and take on her aunt valerie. Arlo's character deserves recognition from the fans, Arlo deserves respect and to be understood.
