the crows would have absolutely loved monopoly

[skitskatdacat63]

This is my personal crossover event of the century

[eyesocketinchworm]

i'm not going to complain about shadow and bone too much because i could obviously just like. not watch it. but just know that ohh my god. oh my god

[basiltonpitch]

ok yeah i'm gonna start watching doctor who again like rn actually

ok maybe i should start watching doctor who again

[bodegadulac]

So, people liked my review of phase 1 of the WCU, so let's review phase 2:

This movie is baffling to me. You bring the CUI, set up Shen yu as the main fucking villain...

AND THEN THE MAIN VILLAIN IS FUCKING VICTOR?!?!?!?!?

What the fuck man.

But at the same one you have Colin becoming Defiant, showing character developement.

But also fuck you, Gwinneth Paltrow was a vague interpretation of fucking Ash Phoenix.

The dragon's teeth are fucking awesome.

But most of the movie is Dragon who crashed bonding with a little girl.

??????

I like that Dragon finally gets a gynoid body, it shows that she is now sure that she is human, even if she is a machine.

But thats the thing with this fucking movie. There are a lot of great fucking ideas weighted down by horrible studio decisions.

Also the new dragon suit is fuckinv over-designed lol.

6/10

I fucking love this movie.

I love Hannah's arc trying to find Mel, and how she discovers she has become murder rat.

I love the plot of Gesselchaft infiltrating the PRT.

This really sold me on Scarlet Johanson as Piggot tbh. Even if i'm iffy on her ship-bait with Hannah.

I liked how Miss Millitia recruits Vista from the Brockton Wards. I think they are great foils of each other.

Just, overall a great movie with great coreography.

But really? Nobody suspected Juntin Nazheer was just a nazi?

9/10

Underrated and Overhated in my opinion.

Yeah, it's kind of a mess with too many plotpoints. Like Jack is there and that goes nowhere, Theo has to balance his new membership to the chicago wards, dealing with his dad and the folk.

Topsy was a forgetable villain but i have high hopes for mockshow.

I liked raymancer, tecton and annex. Hope we see more of them.

Natalie portman as cuff was... a choice.

6/10

Give it a chance man.

Just give James Gunn a group of unknowns and he will give you gold.

What a good fun fucking movie, man.

The crew has such a good dynamic.

I like the implications of a larger thing with the C tattoos.

The whole asylum breakout sequence was very entretaining.

This movie was really really fun. But with a heart. And thats the best a movie can be.

I heard most people tought that Gavel was a forgetable villain (or anti hero) and that him joining forces with Burnscar made no sense. It doesn't make sense but it gives us some great sequences.

I loved the silly cameos of some of the weirder Wildbow characters like the Snail, Chubster and Trainwreck.

ALSO THE MUSIC! I boight the soundtrack as soon as it came out.

Please watch it. It's very fun.

10/10

It starts strong with the raid to the heartbroken, also helps set up Regent and Cherish. Damn those twins are creepy.

I really liked the earlier slice of life esque scenes in the rig.

The whole scene of the three blasphemies emerging and taking over the dragon's teeth to make a machine army was very very well animated.

Why is Colin Armsmaster again? I feel like we get robbed of his character developement... but the Lungbuster armor fucks so much.

Also, Flechette has a secret girlfriend she told nobody about. Lol. But i really like her new purple costume :}

I wonder what all the visions of the future mean. Will the slaughterhouse 9 kill everybody? I mean they have been teasing the shit out of them for years now.

Also we need to talk about how the studio bounces Piggot as a love interest for any other team member, like it feels so out of place man.

The final battle was neat, the fact that they finally reveal Scion as he kills the blasphemy's "BEHEMOTH" was surprising, cool, but it kind of killed al the tension lol.

How can i take anything seriously if thid golden man can appear and end the threat?

Also Regent dies i guess. We hardly knew ya.

Let's see what they will do with Cherish tho.

It's an okay movie.

6/10

And to round this phase up we have a funny heist movie, Assault.

Velocity as an older mentor figure works.

I hope his daughter becomes Battery in the sequel lol.

Assault's crew is funny.

Madcap is a boring villain but the "let's free everyone in the birdcage" was an interesting premise.

Go see it if you have the time.

7/10

[memecucker]

anyway copyright infringement isnt theft because the legal definition of "theft" requires that the act involves the depriving the rightful owner of their property ie; they do not have it anymore. If you build something on land someone else owns that can be considered "theft" because you are depriving the owner of their ability to use that plot of land. If you build a building that is an exact copy of a building someone owns that is not "theft" because they are not deprived of the original building but if they own some kind of IP right to the likeness of the building they could potentially sue over that. When people started using "art theft" to refer to like, Deviantart drama about someone being accused of tracing, that was supposed to be 'theft' in a figurative sense but it is not actually "theft" in any meaningful legal sense.

If a newspaper or something talks about a major "art theft" they are talking about someone snatching away an art piece such that its legitimate owner is deprived of it. This can even apply to digital media such as how the original master copy of Food Fight was allegedly stolen. But if you hear about say "a private detective who specializes in art theft" that is referring to someone that investigates heists and not someone thats like, really good at telling if something was traced

[cherry-pop-elf]

I don’t really like putting all of the Weasley’s in Gryffindor. I was thinking, Percy and Ravenclaw, obviously, and maybe Ginny in slytherin? I don’t know. I could see Charlie in Gryffindor, but he also gives Hufflepuff vibes from what I’ve read of him. (I have not read the books.)

I’d like to know your thoughts do you agree with these? Do you disagree? Do you have any additional ones? Or do you just prefer all of them in Gryffindor?

Nah nah I totally agree on this.

I think with how the story is that there was a feeling of expectation for them to all be in a house, like how the Weasleys went crazy when Ron became a HeadBoy, and needing to give insight to the reader the Weasley’s morals and personality’s.

Especially since there are so many Weasleys to keep track of, and we don’t really interact with much. Like Charlie being cut out of the film entirely, and the fact Bill was introduced was soon as year 4 and that’s when he met Fleur like ugh

So I guess here are some little headcanons about possible alternative houses for the Weasleys

Alternative Houses For The Weasley Siblings

Bill Weasley/Ravenclaw

From what we have learned from Hogwarts Mystery ((which I’m trying to play through but fuck the game play sucks. FOR THE WEASLEYS!)) We learned that he pretty much was taken into Gringotts as soon as he finished school

THATS NOT EASY!

Gringotts is the best and safest bank in the world for a reason. They take in ONLY THE BEST. But over here we have a 17-18 year old working there.

Much like with Luna for her open mindedness for knowledge and her special interests for magical animals Bill shows that with Cursebreaking

Ravenclaws are special for being utterly brilliant for the special interest they have. Bill has a clear passion for history and Cursebreaking. Enough to show he was worthy to work at Gringotts

He clearly is very brilliant, open minded, curious, quick witted, and has so many quirks that show Ravenclaw would have supported him perfectly

To be a curse breaker you really need to be passionate to learn more and more. It’s a ever changing career that will introduce new things, and you need to think outside of the box to handle

There is also the fact you’ll need to know a shit Tom of History to handle a job like that. And we all know every gay kid had a phase of either Egyptian History or Greek History (ha jokes on you mines Norse! But uh. Yeah I also dabbled in Greek and Egyptian rip-!) And will you look at that he was stationed in Egypt for a while

Very Ravenclaw

Charlie Weasley/Hufflepuff

We don’t really get much info on him ((also forgive me I haven’t been able to play through much of Mystery because the gameplay just. Sucks so bad)) But we know for a fact he is passionate as hell about Dragons

On one hand that could mean he’s a Ravenclaw, but I argue Hufflepuff.

He is part of a Dragon Sanctuary after all. He takes care of dragons, new born dragons, and helps run it. He clearly has the passion and nerve to make sure he has what it takes to care for such dangerous beasts

Very much a Newt 2.0

You need to be patient, hard working, open minded, well rounded, and as loyal as a dragon to handle such a job like that

He even went as far as to come save Norbert(a) by the drop of the hat from Ron. Clearly a sign of loyalty and compassion to do whatever it took to take care of dragons. We even know that from how Norbert(a) is still alive and well by the time of Deathly Hallows

You really need to have a strong heart to have the time and energy to care for baby dragons and the loyalty to jump at the sound of Ron asking for help. To pull off this insane heist to practically break into Hogwarts to collect the baby

So Hufflepuff coded

Percy Weasley/Slytherin

This almost feels self explanatory

Percy is extremely ambitious about his goals. His goals are at the forefront and he is willing to push whatever buttons he needs to reach them. Which, as shown, put quite the divide with his family. A sub plot point really we are shown through out the books

Also he kinda has pure blood society standards a little bit don’t lie

He also has quite the perfectionist attitude, rather intense, and just really has a heavy focus on self image. To be seen a certain way by people. Much to the expense of his family

He really radiates the toxic traits that Slytherin have. Slytherin have good traits, just as much as Hufflepuff’s will have bad, so don’t worry about me type casting here.

Just take a moment to think it over and well…..

Percy really is a Slytherin

Fred And George Weasley/Slytherin

Now the twins show plenty of Slytherin traits as well, but in a different way compared to Percy

They also are very determined to reach their goals. To the point they took a hella massive risk with leaving school before they could finish. They took a calculated risk and won

They are very ambitious, and if they have a goal they’ll find a way to reach it. Very much how they are so successful. They don’t let the haters keep them down. Even with how unsupported their own mother was they knew they could do it

They also have that edge all the same. They know how to pull that charm to get what they want, and aren’t scared to get their hands dirty.

And we know there’s lots of dirt on those hands

Very much able to win over crowds with ease, and are very aware of how they can use what they have to reach their end goals

They have that edge and we know they would be unstoppable if they had Slytherin’s under their wings

Very much Slytherins

Ron Weasley/ Gryffindor

Nah Ron is as true to a Gryffindor as they come

Even as early as his first year he got it proven quickly

He’s very bold, blunt, and brave. Willing to stand his ground. Sometimes even when he’s wrong, but hey he’s willing to speak his mind and not be afraid of what he has to say. Not willing to be swayed to easily

Sure he can have rather low self confidence but the moment someone like Hermione, Harry, or his family members are insulted or done wrong he’s jumping out of his chair and throwing hands

He’s willing to face the unthinkable for the sake of others. Aka when Bellatrix was torturing Hermione. He loved her entirely and his brave heart was willing to face insanity for her sake

If he’s gonna die it’s gonna be standing. Never on his knees. Time and time again he was facing his fears head on when he hated it. He was willing to follow those spiders despite how crippling his fear was. To face death even as young as eleven because his moral code said it had to be done

He is a TRUE Gryffindor

Ginny Weasley/ Gryffindor or Hufflepuff

Honestly? This is a toss up. She shows very strong elements from both. So this could very well be a case of her being in Gryffindor for more so to follow her siblings but not have it really affect the end goal

She shows very strong traits for both so it’s really hard for me to really give a concrete yes or no to which house

She’s very much a brave girl, living in the moment, stubborn as all hell, and will stand her ground

She also has shown she can be rather caring and comforting. Such as in the deathly hallows when students had to take refuge in the Room Of Requirments. We don’t get much on that aspect specifically but to help take care of her fellow frightened students had to involve a lot of patience and gentleness.

She also has a strong friendship with Luna. Best friends really. Something like that leads me to think she would be very open minded then and well rounded to be able to look through such a different lens compared to her own

It’s really a tight toss up. She can fit in either house very well

So if I had to be held at gun point she would be in Gryffindor for the sake of family more so than actual house choosing

Hope my little headcanons could be enjoyed and open your own minds to different ideas!

[linkedin-offficial]

Omg I absolutely adore bandits. To see your little bandit oc gives me so much joy haha.

Is there anything else that you know about them? Or even your pokey? Those are absolutely wonderful mario enemies and I’d love to hear more about the ones you have!

they are full of mischief thats for sure!

for starters they share a hideout with yasei, that duplighost obsessed with birds. yasei stays in an abandoned cabin deep in the woods outside of twilight town, so luckily its slim to none when it comes to visitors. this however means lots of plotting and scheming happens when it comes to thievery. yasei doesnt nessesarily enjoy their presence, but he tolerates it because more often then not, he gets something nice out of whatever heist they plan (be it a new form to scare people with, or coins to buy more birds)

of course thats only if they tag along though, in which most cases he doesnt. most of the time it's just wiley and flaxen, with wiley doing most of the hard work and thinking (despite not really having many braincells to do thinking with.. which is saying alot!)

but still! they manage. it definitely helps that yasei only really cares about his birds and the occasional scream of a bystander. but other then that, they are all pretty much like neutral roommates that help eachother out from time to time. a sort of a mutualism based relationship, you could say!

[padmestrilogy]

andor is absolutely slower than the average star wars & it does have plenty of "people talking" scenes. HOWEVER. it's as much an adventure as the rest of em!! in the first ten minutes our protagonist goes into a brothel looking for his sister and then kills two cops. then he joins the rebellion and flees his home village on a motorcycle while exploding the whole joint with bombs. then he joins a heist team and they steal a shit ton of money from the government while the space aurora borealis happens and half of them die in the process. then he goes to prison (unrelated to heist) and helps stage a massive prison break with gollum. then he goes back to his village to rescue his ex gf who has been tortured by cops & meanwhile the village stages a massive protest where they beat the government with bricks & more bombs. thats so much adventure. that's so much spectacle. that's not even factoring in the side plots. the only difference is these big action set-pieces aren't strung together & get to breathe! we build up to them! so it's more rewarding! it's

[kingcunny]

a good 90% of my wish for a jaehaerys era hotd is so we could get an aemons death episode.

in my hbo series aemons death is the cliffhanger for the previous episode and the next one starts with the kinglanders finding out about it.

a plot. rhaenys, 18, pregnant, grieving the sudden, unexpected (and unintentional. she probably doesnt know that but we would.) death of her father finds out jaehaerys intends to name baelon his heir over her. even though aemon, through however many episodes weve seen him alive, always reinforced he intended for rhaenys to follow him as queen. regardless if he and jocelyn have anymore children. (*i* dont think they wanted too but i dont think thats an answer jaehaerys would accept. ‘youll change your mind! :)’)

b plot. baelons grief taking the form of his revenge crusade. but because hes out killing hes not there for a bulk of the argument about him being chosen over rhaenys. when he gets home hes so broken he just accepts it without thinking. after killing thousands of people for his brother he doesnt even regard his wishes or his only child. what his father wants is more important.

(c(omic relief) plot. 15 yo viserys recruits 11 yo daemon on his heist to ‘try and cheer rhaenys up’. at least until baelon comes home and them witnessing his public breakdown and following depression makes it less funny. baelons depression through the following episodes highlights his disregard for his sons. now that he doesnt have his brother and sisterwife around to ‘humanize’ him and youre forced to actually look at his actions.)

[saccharine-spice]

so many pmd fan stories and ocs that ive seen alot of times the main characters are set on the “caring and/or cool partner pokemon and amnesiac human-turned-pokemon that are the same age” that i wish there was more variation.

like, there are SO many team dynamics that i wish more people used, the possibilities are endless

younger mon and parental figure form a team, found family sorta thing

two pokemon who HATE eachother but have to form a team because theyre forced to

a team that has to go their separate ways because the paths their lives lead go in different directions of eachother

these idiots dont know shit! watch them try and battle this calamity!

bad guys that commit crimes! heists! look at them blow up this bank! theyre awesome!

and that’s not even considering teams with more than 2 people, the more the merrier! be creative with it!

(absolutely zero hate to any stories/ocs that are the “human and partner pokemon” team, i love any pmd content, just wish more aspects would be explored.

theres also something to be said about the usual “oh there’s this world ending thing happening and we need to stop it!” plot but thats another can of worms

[richardsphere]

Leverage Log: The Last Dam Job

"all a man has in this world is three things: His business, his posessions and his name". Well thanks for telling Nate exactly what to take away from you. I'll admit the name might be most difficult but should be doable. "They're my team..." "I certainly know them better then you"... Ok so that explains why we had the cocoa futures con. Because they were trying to seed the idea of a con-by-proxy. But that con relied in it being a mere distraction, which is why they could afford amateurs. Having the professional con-artist see through the con was part of the con. It wont be here.

Which means Nate's gonna outsource this con. Now im putting in the exact time in the episode where im analysing this. Its currently 1:49 in the episode. And im gonna make some guesses as to whom we're getting this episode.

Mastermind, Grifter, Hitter, Hacker, Thief.

I think Nate might still be the mastermind, because he doesnt have to be up front in the con for that. I mean there is

Grifter is gonna be Tara.

Hitter... I dont think we have much for that, there arent a lot of Back-up Elliots around in this show. There's his friend from the Boys Night Out, and there's his distaff counterpart from the Van Gogh Job. (by which i mean the first Van Gogh job, where everyone was up against their equivalents. The woman who was former Mossad or something?) Im betting on her,

Hacker: We literally only have Chaos, if there is a second hacker im forgetting then im blanking entirely. So i think we're going for "tell everyone Chaos will betray them. But we do with what we must" situation.

Thief: Its strange how Parker has three counterparts and everyone else has only 1 or 2 up for grabs. But Thief could be Archie, Himbo-lupin or Apollo. Now i've already bet on at least 2 members of that crew so its not gonna be Apollo, and i dont think Himbo is as likely as Archie is. (especially with last episodes plot being thematically linked to his debut episode, and this being a two-parter that is verry much about family and parental relationships) So my prediction: Nate is still mastermind, but he probably has a decoy. Tara Chaos and Archie are locked in. And I dont think that Distaff Elliot whose name isnt coming to mind RN would willingly work with Chaos again, so probably pull his friend back?

Those are my predictions. Time to let time resume ---" "welcome to the next time". Congrats on the directors and actor for selling a line that stupid. Its not a good line but they somehow made it work. (8/10)

"Dubenich is already in jail what's left to do to him" Sophie, you know Nate. There is so much left to do to him. --- Ok yeah, its a proxy-job like the Futures Con. Also shout out to last episodes creative use for duct-tape as an improv weapon, it was awesome but i didnt feel like stopping to write it. But combined with this seasons use of the Wurlitzer pipe and now the fire extinguishers for a blinding chemical excellerant gun that serves as a bludgeon i want to compliment the fight choreographer or whatever position is in charge of that decision. You did good work this season.

---

So to see if my predictions are right: Quinn. I have to admit i dont know who you are. I think you might've been a hired goon from an earlier episode but I did not remember you. Archie! I almost feel like I shouldn't score you. But also, Parker has the most non-imprisoned foils in the show so you actually had the most competetion for the thief slot. I wonder what is going through Bio-daughter's mind. "Dad has a second family?" Chaos. Because every episode needs a designated moment where the plan seems to get fucked, and a designated traitor was the simplest call.

Im counting three not five. Thats suspicious. Now Tara famously got introduced by being in disguise for an entire episode so she might be a man on the inside when our heists get called. But so far im gonna call it as 2/3, with a possible "nate is still mastermind" for 3/4 ---

Cant really read the glass-board. But also, every bone in my body says this episode could've ended right this moment as Dubenich looks at the glass board. I think it was the Season 1 finale where Hardison blew up HQ? Using Dubenich own signature move against him, in a way that directly parallels the S1 finale? That would've been the move. --- Hardison and Chaos in total agreement for the one time in their life. (they are right, this is legally a batcave)

Archie straight for the jugular. (also tasers, good to see where Parker gets it from) --- "How many fingers do you need to type? round down!" Im sorry for not remembering you existed allright. --- Ooh i love the invasive species ploy. Its simple yet genius. --- Double-heist! Stealing the sword and destroying the entire vault! Dubenich realises he fucked up in his conversation with Nate. (always love it when the mark is just smart enough to realise how he fucked up). --- Elliot almost shooting Dubenich... Quinn and him are bros. --- and that is Maggie! I'll admit, i expected Tara. But i guess she meets the "someone who is not in the game" requirement. Shows got one over on me twice. 2/4.

"if temptation counted as cheating no marriage would last for a year", and going straight for the jugular with Jim. --- Chemical Warfare! Drug a guy and smuggle him off to the fucking Cayman Islands. With all the goods you stole from him. (remember, if Nate has a "signature move" its framing them for Insurance Fraud.) --- -"I do care" -"how does that feel" -"getting used to it" --- "my son would be ashamed of me if I was a murderer... My father on the other hand, he's buy me an ice-cream". good line. 9/10. Ah, Now i understand the importance of the experimental job. Seeding Prisoners Dilemma in the audience awareness so Nate can play them against eachother in the finale. Good one. --- BIG KISS! --- I like how they ask nate if they can keep the cave, like little kids asking their parents about a stray dog that has been following them around.

Avor's Watchlist for weeks 36 + 37

Fall has begun and I am watching 16 currently airing shows 14 of which are Qls. My rewatches have been on hold for a few weeks now.

Currently Airing

Battle of the Writers 7/12 Beautiful Boys kissing, tropes and even a bit of a story if you look hard enough

Sugar Dog Life 6/10 Lonely people, food and not enough communication the Japanese recipe for a good watch

First Note of Love 6/12 Compared to all the loud stuff thats currently airing this one is very quiet

Seoul Blues 7/8 Messy people messing around Jeonha finally reacted to something but it feels very much like they stitched two scripts they had and made it 8 episodes with the same character names

The On1y One 8/12 Best thing currently airing beautiful cinemaphotography and wonderful acting

Love Next Door 10/16 The first 8 episodes showed us why Seokryu did not feel that she could be open about her problems with anyone at home and now I am supposed to find her at fault because she kept her illness a secret?

Live in Love 3/5 The colours keep colouring and with all the talk about tone this week the tonal dissonance between what his happening to Cake and how they react to it is a bit distracting

Room 2/5 Fun and chaotic not sure what it wants to tell

Happy of the End 2/8 I am waiting for the sub of the fourth episode to continue because I dont think I can get myself to watch each episode on its own its heavy and beautiful

Kidnap 2/12 I get to see Ohm again

The Hidden Moon 2/10 A propos Ohm a ghost romance. They rank right after robot romances for plots to avoid for me. I am cautiously optimistic about this one though as long as they are not introducing time layers.

Jack & Joker: U Steal My Heart! 1/12 War is a good actor and I liked Yin whom I havent seen outside of En of love. But I was promised a heist.

Love is Like a Poison 1/10 The colour intensity was to mismatched between the poison transitions and the rest of the episode hopefully that changes

Unlock Your Love 1/8 I am not sure about this one the character interactions and the main characters action compared to her flashback experiences feel a bit too contrived

Bad Guy My Boss 1/10 20 year olds in charge of a company are always so in control. A fantasy office setting to forget work on Sunday evenings

Love Sick 2024 1/15 Real children bringing me a highschool story. With a big cast I am bit scared that I am supposed to remember and differentiate all these boys in their highschool uniforms

What I am catching up on

My Best Boyfriend 4/17

Unstoppable High Kick 25/167

Gym Affairs 15/24 Loneliness and desire (for love)

The Princess Royal 21/40 A typical mid show slump with this one, its promising

Word of Honor 17/36 I think of all the gay characters Gong Jun could have played while watching this

Like Love 8/15 2014 BL

Fight for My Way 4/16 I really need to watch everything Park Seojoon has been in

Finished in the last two weeks

Takara’s Treasure 02.09.24 9,5/10 Loved how they got gradually closer. Taishin getting a better understanding of Takara and Takara's reason for being so withdrawn getting revealed. The depiction of the "creepy uncle" really is the only blemish on this otherwise well thought out series.

Mr Mitsuyas Planned Feeding 06.09.24 9/10 A lovely story about finding support and yourself.

Takara’s Treasure Spin off 09.09.24 8,5/10 A nice end cap to this wonderful story

I Hear the Sunspot 12.09.24 6/10 This is the series I ve written the most notes for this year and it all boils down to: Great visuals but a dissappointing second half. We got the introduction of a secondary character instead of the growth and adaptation the couple needed

4 Minutes 13.09.24 9,5/10 The finale was truly unnerving, limbo made palpable. Those first minutes of surreal softness really got to me. A perfect ending to a good show. Regrets, Consequences, Redemption, LIMBO This series makes a strong case for how choices influence our lives and if we dont make choices life wont be better. Simplistic solutions only work in fantasy

Boytoy 14.09.24 7,5/10 Deeper than I intially thought. But a classic gay people at the edge of society BL with a happy ending though.

With You I Bloom 15.09.24 8/10 About social bonds and priorities. Would have been better if the credits werent as lighthearted/ the opening credits did not have such a sports drama vibe. Probably would have worked better as several movies .

Love Enemy 15.09.24 7,5/10 Fourty minutes of fluff to pass the time

Dropped in the last two weeks

[midnight--capricorn]

i’m really enjoying the hypothetical romhack lore! i was wondering a few things

1 - how is wiljem pronounced

2 - how does valentin end up saving wiljem’s life thats so interesting

I'm honestly having fun putting it together (without dropping too much of the actual plot yet) and I'm happy to answer questions!

William. It's essentially pronounced the same as William. (I actually got the spelling of it wrong anyway, it's supposed to be Viljem, but it's still pronounced pretty much the same as William)

OK SO

It's kinda like the intro to Sacred Stones, except without Seth dragging Eirika away before Grado's army gets in there- Viljem and his father (though his sister is absent) are trapped with the only exit blocked by an army. And in sneaks this thief who has been planning a heist for months, scouting all the secret passages and exits and entrances to the castle and it's at both the completely wrong and completely right time as Viljem is told to escape and Valentin just grabs him and tells him "there's a secret passage we should be able to get out of here safely". They still have to fight a couple of soldiers though (that's essentially the whole prologue summarised)
