season one prinxiety was so funny. they hated each other’s guts. they flirted with each other. they agreed on one thing and then got into a fight about another. roman carried virgil bridal-style. they unintentionally complimented each other. virgil was constantly smirking while talking to roman. “my chemically imbalanced romance” “aw you think i’m hot” “but anxiety is the fairest of them all!” roman had a thousand nicknames reserved specifically for virgil. they were tricked into holding hands. they bonded over disney animated movies. they were each other's foils and parallels at the same time. roman spit yogurt into virgil’s mouth.

Okay I don't know why but even though the manga tries to ship her with Patrick, but I've been having the strange urge to ship her with Rum. The idea of her loving flowers this much and Shirley's lively and mischievous personality (combined with the fact that they're both on the same team) and Rums interest in flowers thanks to Emilico would totally come across the perfect relationship especially when Maggie realizes that Rum has such a kind-hearted mistress and she wasn't so kind to her despite them being on the same team

"He loves me, he loves me not"

The most widely accepted meanings of marguerite flowers are purity and innocence.

Marguerites represent looking forward to love, as well as satisfaction, joy, pride and secret love. An Ox-eye Daisy (same flower) symbolizes patience. Other meanings associated with it are faith, cheer, simplicity, loyal love, beauty, gentleness, youth, modesty, and romance.

Very often they are used for the fortune-telling ritual we all know - "loves me, loves me not"

I was just THINKING OF HOW ANNOYING Sebek is, H O N E S T .

[phantom-thieves-official]

can I say something controversial. I think by interpreting the Maruki reality stuff w Akechi as 'Joker's greatest wish was for Akechi to live bc they're in love!' is kind of a poor read of the text. Not because I don't ship them or whatever, my shipping opinions aren't relevant to this post. But because I think it overlooks a big part of Joker's actual character. He wanted Akechi to live because he saw an innocent person taken advantage of and discarded. He saw someone who needed help. You can even go further with this and say, okay, Akechi wasn't an innocent person - he killed people and tried to kill Joker himself. And what does that mean for Joker's character? It means he saw someone who had done terrible things - some of them to Joker, personally - and he still came away from Shido's palace with the understanding that while he did bad things, Akechi was a victim of Shido's, too. Good, or bad, or in between, that he still was someone in need of help. Joker wanted to help Akechi. He wanted to give Akechi a chance to make things right, and to show him that they didn't have to enemies - that Akechi didn't have to fight the Phantom Thieves, and he didn't have to be alone; that it's never too late to change course and be a better person and that Akechi's life didn't have to be one of hatred and isolation. He could atone for his crimes, still take down shido, and have a group of people to support him. After the terrible things Akechi did as Shido's lapdog, after he sold the thieves out and plotted to murder Joker. Joker still just wanted to help him. Joker saw that while Akechi was undoubtedly a criminal he was also a victim, and there was something in there worth trying to save. But you know what? He couldn't do it. Right as he seemed to be getting through to Akechi, he was killed by Shido's cognitive version.

And so when Maruki's reality brings Akechi back, it means imo that Joker feels guilty. Out of all the people he'd been able to help, Akechi was the one person he just couldn't save. It's not because they're in love, it's because Joker regrets how things worked out. He regrets that he didn't get through to Akechi sooner. He regrets failing a vulnerable and victimized person whom he feels he could have helped. Even if that person hated Joker. Even if that person had previously tried to kill Joker with his own hands. Joker's sense of justice is imo his biggest character trait, followed closely by his massive savior complex. Of course he wanted Akechi to live. Because in Joker's eyes, despite what he'd done to hurt Joker, Akechi was still a victim. He was still someone Joker should have been able to save.

This all comes to a head when Joker chooses to deny Maruki's reality. He's choosing to live with the guilt; to accept he can't save everyone no matter how hard he tries. He's moving beyond the savior complex and recognizing that sometimes, some people are really just unreachable, or don't want to be helped. It's a moment not only of characterization, but of character growth for him.

anyway that's my hot take. by viewing the third semester through a shipping lens exclusively you lose a huge point of characterization for Joker bc you overlook the nuances of Joker's desire to help everyone all the time and the guilt he feels about failing to help Akechi. You misconstrue Joker's desire to help in the first place as coming from a place of love rather than a place of selflessness and justice; a place of 'doing what's right simply because it is the right thing to do.' You miss out on the subtle ways it shows Joker's not biased by hatred or contempt, how despite the heinous things Akechi has done, and despite the harm done to him directly at Akechi's hand, Joker is still capable of seeing that Akechi is a victim, too - which in itself shows that Joker's idea of justice isn't motivated by personal relationships, grudges, or biases.
