ok. falls to the floor. something interesting i find about this omake is that reigens reaction to terus living situation is pointedly Not shown. reigen finds out that teru has no one and spends entire months alone in his apartment and his first course of action is to try to set up positive relationships for this kid while acting casual about it so as to not trigger terus defenses. insane actually

ever since 266, I saw many people say that because megumi doesn't want to be a jujutsu sorcerer, that means his conclusion doesn't have to have anything to do with using his technique or completing his domain and that him just getting saved is fine, and that is his purpose in the story, and I completely disagree.

Megumi has always treated his technique as a curse in his life, one he had never wanted and one that had always hindered him. he viewed it as a crutch, a weakness, something that controls him rather than him controlling it as its user. it had dictated his life ever since his birth and subsequently forcing him into the gruel jujutsu world, with his father selling and abandoning him, the expectations placed on him by Gojo to surpass him because of his technique, along with now, Sukuna stealing his body, his autonomy, his agency, and his ability to make a choice along with killing his sister and hurting his friends just because of his technique. Him learning that instead of fearing his technique and treating it as something he'll never control or grasp and that its power is way beyond him, he does have the strength and newfound mindset to control it, be its master and be able to completely understand and interpret his technique would be a great way to conclude his character arc and his rocky relationship with his technique.

him completing his domain doesn't have anything to do with jujutsu sorcery. his domain is a representation of his sense of self, his self-identity, his character, so to speak. it being incomplete from the start was to show you that megumi hadn't grasped his sense of self yet, hasn't found an identity unique to himself outside of wanting to save his sister (and later, yuuji) and his complete disregard for his life in general. his incomplete domain is basically showing you his incomplete character. I just can't really fathom the domain not being completed especially after him being at the climax of his character arc. it's more than just a jujutsu thing for megumi's character, it represents him.

also, megumi's purpose this entire arc to just be saved is hardly a good conclusion to his character. his entire life, he'd been stripped of his autonomy, the power to choose, the power to control his life. that was what reggie's curse was: let fate toy with you, become a clown, then die. his conclusion should be him breaking AWAY from that curse, to stop fate from toying with him, and instead of just laying down and letting life kick him over and over, he stands up and finally kicks back, fights against the circumstances, saves himself, instead of doing nothing and just letting others save him. what would be the point, then? he'd be reduced to a literal plot device, whose entire role in the story is to let his body be taken over by sukuna for his technique, and he doesn't even save himself, he just lets others do the work for him. that would be a horrible conclusion. it wouldn't make his dream of wanting a peaceful life earned for me, not because megumi HAS to be useful or has to prove himself to deserve a simple life, but because he hasn't really changed. he's the same as he was before, letting life toy with him over and over and reduced to just the damsel in distress who constantly needs others to do the work for him.

I want him to fight back. I want him to save himself. I want him to put in the work to change his fate.

What is the 'captainverse' shit? I always just ignored it tbh but I have seen many incels justify shipping the canon lesbians with men because 'captain is canonically male so all valks are bi' when as far as I can tell captain is canonically not fucking real as the only captain of the hyperion ever mentioned is Himeko.

Hmmm so I'd like to avoid being overly negative. I'll answer you, but watch your tone in the future.

Captainverse was a storyline that spanned a ton of events over multiple years. It concluded last year or so with one final fluffy event after all the drama. The Captainverse storyline isn't relevant to the main story of Hi3 but happens in the Sea of Quanta, so it would be "real" in that sense.

Bronie AKA Haxxor Bunny (has an expy in Honkai Star Rail named Silver Wolf, which you may be familiar with) appears briefly in the Moon Arc, and one of Misteln's Stigmata children seemed to hail from her world. There's also suspicious wish-granting devices in the sea that may or may not link back to Sa's shenanigans, but we don't have proof of that (plus those were written long before Sa was).

The main character of the Captainverse is an ex high-ranking Schicksal captain hailing from an alternate world to the Main Story's, referred to only as... "Captain". There's also another recurring person named "Ferryman" who turned out to be a hopeless version of Captain due to some time shenanigans. He has his own Hyperion, separate from the one in canon. I think his original backstory was being sent on some mission by Otto in the Sea? He was originally designed as a self-insert but later became his own character.

Captainverse has ship tease with some girls, but there's also plenty of girls who show zero romantic interest in the Captain, so you've been told a generalization. The main "ships" with the Captain are two Theresas who aren't actually called Theresa: the vampire Luna and the immortal tactician Kongming. Captain saved their lives at great cost to himself... the fireworks...

Many of these stories are quite well-told and may bring you to tears TuT

Oh, Captainverse actually has its fair share of sapphics. If you like that, it's a shame you never gave it a chance. For example, Kasumi (amnesiac Sakura with extra steps) and a Kallen from a different world found each other in Captainverse and seem well on their way to find the happy ending they never got in the main story due to things such as "dying". Kasumi's origin story event was also a direct result of Kallen being in love with Sakura...

@sacron1143 knows the most about actual Captainverse lore, so best to ask there if you're genuinely curious. Don't bother if you're gonna be a hater though. There's also this document but I'm not sure it's fully up to date.

I hope that gave you sufficient context! That said, I think you're better off just ignoring what the people you don't agree with do for fun. Clearly, neither of you are arguing in good faith to begin with.

Is the simpatico mermaids au in the same universe as the apocalyptic ponyo au?

I mean it wouldn’t really work because Simpatico AU was originally made with them being robots. But I think it would be fun if they had exactly the same arc in the apocalyptic ponyo au ahahahah

Them not understanding each other’s languages but understanding each other’s math is just. Fits perfectly. Also I wasn’t joking when I said that Perceptor would deadass invent a way to go underwater purely because he wanted to attend the underwater science convention with Brainstorm.

At the end of the story they would both probably just. Solve the Tsunami.

Also Brainstorm is a flying fish:D

wait trying to parse out how much the general public knows that eel o'brian and plastic man are the same in the modern comics. Plas isn't shy about his past but also feels so narratively weighed down by it.

the superheroes and the criminal underground knows along with a few other people, but it feels weird that there's no other repercussions/differing opinions from the populace.

Then again its been ages since I've read any run that isn't pre-90's so I could be missing something

I adore Gourmet Hound and AALD! I binge GH all the time and was wondering if it would ever be on daily pass?

Hey there, thank you so much for reading GH and AALD!!

As of now, Gourmet Hound won't be put on Daily Pass--it's an old enough series that it wasn't part of my contract (GH is so old that Fast Pass and season breaks weren't even a thing yet!)

//==//==// BLOODMOON //==//==// CLOSED || With @confessthysiins

---- The Veil is lifted. The Byrgenwerth Spider lies dead. A heavy stone basin rests on arranged blocks, and the wine poured into it has served a delightful - if boorish - effect. Most Yharnamites preferred blood as their drink of choice, so imported wines were cheap, if rare. There simply wasn't much of a market in the city beyond those who try to stay 'sober' by comparison. Though Mary herself was not a hunter of the dream, she knew from experience that an offering to a basin like this bid 'Messengers' to carry gifts of its like.

A shame that she could not see the creatures nor pay them in reverberations and echoes for more bottles; empty ones which had been arrayed neatly on the side of the balcony. Oh no, as she dipped the edge of her glass into the basin, she filled it in a display of hedonism rarely allowed. The presence of the eldritch, cascading down upon a city gone to hell... there was power in each glass she sipped from.

---- In the distance, over the walls of Yahar'gul, she could hear the bells ringing, the chants rising. It was a good night to bear witness to the surface. A horrible night to be unprepared. A terribly time to be any of Yharnam's people, huddled in their cellars and behind closed doors to wait out the inevitable.

No... if a beast were to wander in through the incense burning on the balcony, she would survive or die by her own, gaunt hands. That was the only truth she would accept.

---- So, despite a glass in hand, when the creaking of a shoemaker's handiwork sounded from the alley behind her, the scholar gripped at her pick. When she glanced over her shoulder, it was with a body poised to defend herself.

But she would not strike first. Not on this night, where she intended only to observe.

Ok so I got a gir hoodie what's ur opinion on it

BRO: That's one sweet lookin' hoodie, kid.

[syrenki]

can i ask you why you say you’d rather die than take antidepressants? if you don’t want to answer feel free to ignore this i was just curious as i know people who swear they saved their lives but idk

i don't doubt they saved their lives. it's just. if i knew i didn't want to live. why would i want a chemical to mess with my brain and make me lie to myself. if i don't want to live i know that rationally and drugs are not a way to unknow what you actually Know. same as i wouldn't want to drug myself in order to stay in a relationship that i don't want to be in... that's like letting myself be raped... except by life.. yanno
