#the element of surprise

Do you think the "element of surprise" could concern Miles? I'm French and my English is not perfect and I don't understand all the nuances in his texts, but there are certain sentences and the "x" that made me think of that.

it could be, or it could be just about cheating (like most songs from eycte lmao) or just about meeting someone new and falling for them.

if we want to overanalyse it, the first verse definitely reminds me of being confused about falling for someone who it didn't make sense for me to fall for (someone of the same gender; the 'heart' can say yes to them but the 'head' can't make sense of it), potentially while already being in a relationship with someone else ('losing the plot'). and then we've got the 'sneaking in the side' in the chorus, trying not to be seen, which wouldn't make much sense if he wrote it about a current girlfriend 🤔 then in verse two he could be talking about playing "games" with this person ('never-ending games that you play'), just fooling around, but which then ultimately results in something more serious, so therefore the games weren't much good for anything ('why colour in the lines if you're just painting it black?'). aaand then we have the x's, which if someone (like miles) uses it too often, they kind of lose their meaning of being a kiss and turn into a habit or wanting to seem nice while texting (also used excessively when arranging a hook-up/being flirty). but alex doesn't really care whether they are kisses, just a habit, or whether this person 'ends all the messages' with this (= realising he's not the only person they're potentially sleeping with) he would still like to hook up/meet them: 'there's nothing like the element of surprise' - which seems to be a sarcastic line - he knows that he's doing something he shouldn't, that maybe he's not special, and yet he can't resist them and is not surprised when they sneak in and end up spending time together for the nth time

so, yeah, it could well concern him😂

“The idea that you’ve existed all along’s ridiculous” and “I would still be surprised I could find you, darling, in any life”. Yeah that’s the same feeling there.

some worldbuilding snippets continuing off the last post im sorry this barely even feels like a pokemon blog anymore but here I am. for every word I add to this post I am having to remind myself that cringe is dead, cringe is dead, I am actually sooooo sexy and powerful for putting my silly brain creations out for the world to see! and volo is there so it’s still relevant anyway, it’s fiiiine

but anyway yes. some worldbuilding, specifically about the ‘deities’ of the setting (which isn’t strictly the ironsworn setting cus I’m also throwing in tons of salvaged bits of my old dead headworld)

cue incoherent ramblings after the cut!

this setting’s equivalent to gods would be the celestial bodies, which from strongest to weakest are suns > moons > stars. real world astronomy has no power here, don’t worry about it

every celestial body is/was a very powerful living, sentient being with a life cycle and everything. the planet the characters live on is a horrific mishmash of ‘stars’ that have been so tightly jam packed and fused together by the moons that over time the biggest, oldest of these stars have lost their consciousness and become nothing more than forces of nature; the earth, the ocean, the air/atmosphere... yknow, the basic elements

however there is One ye olden god that is very desperately clinging to what trace of individuality and consciousness it has left, and as it weaves in and out of consciousness it can influence the dreams of its descendants and it is trying to manipulate them into doing its bidding with the end goal of gaining a new body, as right now it’s basically just....... haunting the blood of its descendants. all of their blood. it’s in there snoozing!

"You're right about that, kitty cat," Labybug murmured, half-inclined to scratch under his chin before she stopped herself. She knew he leaned into some of the more feline tendencies, and half of her enjoyed playing along with his antics, but the rest of her wanted to keep things friendly. And only friendly.

Besides, they had an akumatized victim to save.

Peeking over the rooftop, Labybug watched the masked figure below, apparently an accordion player who put people to sleep with their voice and music. She hadn't quite gotten the chance to hear what their story was as fortunately both she and Chat Noir had gotten their earplugs in before they got caught, their earbuds allowing them to communicate still. But the accordion player didn't know that.

A smile quirks the corner of her mouth. "The akuma is probably in the accordion. We just have to get close."

I often think about how incredibly fit Natsume must be, yokai-induced sickliness aside. He spends 75% of his life running from yokai, through forests and mountains and all kinds of shit. Every day is a marathon for him, he arguably gets too much exercise (which might contribute to collapsing from exhaustion a lot. over exercising isn't good for you).

But imagine what a fast runner he must be. He's able to sometimes lose yokai despite their supernatural speed etc. And he's been doing this since he's a child? I just want an episode where it's time for track in gym class and everyone's expecting the kid who's constantly sick and exhausted to be the slowest one, but instead he just passes them all at warp speed. WHEN did he have time to get this in shape, isn't he always inches away from keeling over, his class in chaos. Nishimura and Kitamoto are the least surprised since they've seen him running before, but even they didn't think he was THIS fast., wow, what natural talent.

Actually, there should be a running gag where one of the many stressors Natsume faced over the years is track team coaches trying to constantly recruit him in most of the schools he goes to, so he's constantly trying to hide how fast he is because he can't be a burden and have the people he's living with PAY SPORTS EXPENSES omg :(( and also he wouldn't be able to show up for most of the meetings, so. And also he doesn't like most team sports (the real reason).

He's managed to keep it mostly under wraps in Yatsuhara, but then one day it's the sports day episode and Nishimura trips while carrying the baton as they always do and starts crying so Natsume's like "siiiiiiiigh fine don't worry Nishimura I've got this" and suddenly he's at the finish line. Thus his hellish lot of being hounded by the track coach begins anew, thanks a lot Nishimura.

Popular IWTV cosplayer(s) currently getting put on blast for posting about going on haunted plantation tours and taking photos of their (white) LDPDL funko pop out front like its a cute little photo op. And ykw I won't pretend to be surprised because non-Black people, American and Non-American, think of slavery as a foot note in their antebellum fantasy or, at best, a gotcha card when they decide they wanna be morally superior. Its not an IWTV specific issue because regular degular people romp through these plantations for weddings or to talk about everything but the black people who maintained this estate so that willfully ignorant tourists could gloss over their very existence. But a racist source material breeds racist fans and TVC is ripe with both so who is to sit here and gasp and clutch their pearls like we haven't been seeing the very thought patterns that lead to this kind of bullshit

one thing i really appreciated in robin lives #1 was that when jason was hallucinating his fears, the joker was very quickly overtaken by sheila. the joker is a violent criminal with no regard for other humans; nothing better could be expected of him. sheila haywood was jason's mother. the joker couldn't hold a candle to her betrayal in jason's mind
