#this is a joke obviously but ahahaha yeah um

[autistic-bashir]

queerness in modern trek is too sanitized and palatable for straight audiences. old trek had two separate instances where a guy rolls around on the floor with his guy buddy having been driven into an insurmountable rage by a temporary medical condition that’s not his fault… now that’s a homosexual agenda bring that back

[loki-the-trikster-god]

hello friend tis clyde i have returned from the depths of the grishaverse

sorry again for temporarily abandoning u hehe

oh friend u gotta sleep bro. sleep is good. more than six hours preferably. also food.

food good. frozen pasta... a little questionable but if it works it works. muffins are 👌

oh um that’s a lot simpler than it sounds... sigh math. oof, it seems that nobody really likes algebra. i just find it annoying really because it’s quite easy, but i think it will hopefully get harder and just be annoying because it’s a challenge

not that challenges are bad

history is nice when it’s not taught by a sucky teacher. my social studies teacher sucks, she’s so annoying like- the old principal (the one who hired her) was known for hiring the pretty teachers rather than the smart ones, which explains a lot about the ✨quality✨ of my education lol

omg that’s really unfortunate i’m sorry for that amigo oof. it’s so freaking heteronormative i was like so depressed for the rest of the day bc even when i complained to my dad (bc i wasn’t thinking obviously) he started making a bunch of slightly offensive gay jokes but i couldn’t say anything bc i’m still closeted and then i wad just really depressed for a while so yeah it’s bad

i’m sorry i’m just projecting my emotions onto you

dw u don’t hafta acknowledge it i’m just typing

ahahaha i wish. swords are a start. swords good. seducing good. now i just hafta be pretty enough for people to actually fall for it... hmm the challenge

floof is fun. floooooooof

ahahaha good luck amigo

thinking is overrated anyways

ahhhhhh it’s like the best experience tho bc the entire place was made to look like a castle and it was just so amazing and there was duelling and my like 8 year old self was screaming internally bc it was so awesome hehe

that sounds nice i say go for it. small stab, painful but not prison worthy and enough to install fear in your enemies

your excuse can be it’s what your inner caliban was telling you to do, and you were so in character you couldn’t stop it

cool. cellos are like so big tho. how do you transport a cello i’ve always wondered about that?

ahahaha indeed it is lol. yeah baggy clothes win. now i hafta figure out how to get a binder without coming out as whatever the fuck my gender is (bc idek at this point) to my parents lol

oooh yeah i would have my window open but my neighbours are always playing in the park like right across from my house and then the kids scream and it’s really annoying so that’s unfortunate

ooh cool. lol hyperfixtations are probably the reason i haven’t died of boredom so i’m all for those hehe

and for ur questionnnnn: what’s ur favourite disney movie and favourite disney character (not necessarily from that movie just in general)?

pay attention be a good student study hard and then use ur knowledge to take over the world

that’s my life advice for u

until next time friend :)

What’s up!! I’m glad you’re back!! I’ve been bingeing tv but it hasn’t been shadow and bones lol it’s been something else. (Called due south. I’m obsessive. Anyhow.)

I know when I’m doing this is a poor example (hint: it’s late) but I’ve been getting more sleep recently. Also eating food. We’re going to get bacon for breakfast this morning, which is exciting. :)))

Hey, I like my frozen pasta. It is what it is, and the chicken that comes with it is really good. Also I had a muffin for breakfast yesterday 😋

Algebra is pretty easy if you get the hang of it. I’m in algebra 2 and it’s not my hardest class by any means. It’s a little dull but that also depends on the teacher. Also I just have an aversion to numbers, so that doesn’t help.

Oh that isn’t fun at all, I’m sorry. (The word sorry has a Canadian accent in my brain cause of how much tv I’ve been watching.) I really like history, actually, although if one single more sentence in my history textbook is devoted to “socialism = dictatorship = genocide these words are synonymous” I’m going to kill a man. They are not synonymous and the only reason we’re being taught that they are is because of the reaganist red scare propaganda and it’s lasting impacts on American society and education. If you don’t know what I’m talking about don’t worry about it lol, my dad is a retired communist so I’m pretty knowledgeable about certain things.

Also before anyone points a gun with an American flag on it at my head, let the record show that *sigh* I am not a communist myself. I swear to god you *breathe* the word socialism in this country and seven people fight you in a parking lot.

Anyways lmao sorry friend

I’m also really sorry about your dad. It sucks that he’s doing that. The homophobia is intense and I’m sorry. If you do ever come out I’m here for you and will ride my ass up to Canada to bring you little pride flags and marshmallows, but you also don’t owe it to anyone but yourself. Also I love you. (/p)

I mean, I am also just typing so same boat friend :)

You have pretty energy, I’m sure u can manage seduction. Swords help, and so do long, swishy cloaks. And tall leather boots.

Omg yes the one I went to was just this big keep in the middle of NYC and I was like AAAAA it was so cool and it also smelled fantastic. I don’t remember what it smelled like, but it was good.

Brilliant! With the cameras rolling, in the heat of the moment, I’ll rise from the ground and stab him lightly, and then act as though I have no memory of what occurred. I was possessed by caliban. What are they going to do, arrest caliban? Lmaoooo god I want to hes so smUG and he gives nothing when you’re in a scene with him you could pour your soul into it and he’s not handing anything back and it’s agonizing,,,,

I put my cello in a big rolling cello case and I wheel it about. It fits in the trunk of my car, barely. When I had a soft case I carried it on my back and was just like two feet taller in door frames lol

You could have a friend order it for you? If you’re out to anyone? If not, there’s people that ship things “discreetly” like disguised as other things? I sound like a criminal don’t i but like. Also I can find u some websites if u want.

Ughhhh annoying loud kids are the worst. I have my window open right now and it’s raining and the sound is m a r v e l o u s. Not to mention the smell. Delicious. The world is nice.

Hyperfixations do be all we have in this god forsaken world huh. That and ✨friends✨

Oh hmmmm. I think I like Prince of Egypt most, there’s another but I’m not thinking of it right now,,,,, and then my favorite Disney character,,,,,,, I never watch movies but I was one of those trans guys who looked at mulan and went I Want That so I’mma say her lol

That’s very good life advice. My life advice is to do what makes your soul feel smooth. Interpret that as you will.

This has been a trip of a letter bro, hope you enjoy it :)))))

Until next time :)

DUSK TiLL DAWN Event Story

17.00-18.30

Chapter Index

17.00

???: Handsome reporting. We've reached Central Main Street. Over.

Bzzt

Voice from Transceiver: <Sugar here. Arrival confirmed. Your objective, Central General Hospital, is about 5000 feet away. The fastest way to get there is to just make a run for it. Over.>

Bzzt

???: It's me, Pâtissier. Run through here? Don't be stupid, more and more of them are starting to crowd around us.

???: The street is wide enough that we can still avoid contact with them.

???: That's true, but...

Bzzt

Voice from Transceiver: <If Pâtissier wants to avoid them so bad, you can also get to the sewers through that manhole. Stinky and dirty as it is.>

Voice from Transceiver: <I don't give a rat's ass what you guys do.>

???: Both of those options suck! Also, that's no way to talk to your superiors!

???: ...Mick, be quiet.

Uooorgh

Swish

???: There are endangered civilians up ahead.

Mick: But our instructions didn't include rescuing civs, right?

???: I'm going.

Mick: Wait, Cap!

17.30

Ratatat

Mick: Hey! You guys okay!?

???: Huff, huff... W-we're saved...

???: Haah, haah...

???: Haha... Ahahaha! That was INCREDIBLE!

???: I  jumped from on top of the car, and you threw the rock, Yamarson! Ahaha!

???: W-why are you enjoying this so much!?

???: (Maybe this guy's gone nuts...)

???: It was a splendid hit. Huhu.

???: What are these things..!? I've had enough of them...

???: ...They appear to be safe.

Mick: Well, yeah... But that one can't stop laughing... Is he okay..?

Mick: Uh. You guys aren't hurt, right..?

???: Yeah, you saved us! I thought we were done for once they had us surrounded...

???: Thank you so much!

???: ...Are you guys a rescue team?

Mick: No, we're I.DOL.

???: I.DOL is that special forces unit...

???: This is Handsome. We've rescued two civilians. Requesting pick up, over.

Bzzt

Voice from Transceiver: <Roger that. Dispatching a rescue chopper. Over.>

Mick: Alright, the chopper will be here in a minute. Until then, we should get you guys somewhere safe...

???: Mick. Let's clean up first.

Swish

Uooorgh

Mick: Ugh... Where are these guys coming from?

???: Eek..!

???: Ah, that one has a traffic sign for a head!

Mick: Stand back, you two. We'll take care of these!

???: Mick.

Mick: Roger!

Click

Mick: Here goes!

Bang

18.00

Ratatat

???: ...Extermination complete.

Mick: Alright! All clear!

???: What's going on? What are these monsters?

???: Are they zombies!? They're zombies, right?

Mick: H-hey, settle down!

???: I saw someone turn into one of those things..!

???: They absorb whatever's nearby into themselves...

???: Ah, if they're zombies, then their bites might be infectuous! Man, I wanna know if they are so bad!

???: Hey... Zombies are no joke! You guys know something, right!? Tell us what's going on!

Mick: C-calm down..!

???: I just got attacked! How could I possibly calm down!?

???: ...It's confidential.

???: Why!? I wanna know!

Mick: J-just wait a sec!

Bzzt

Voice from Transceiver: <Handsome, we've got trouble! I made calls for a rescue chopper, but nobody's answering.>

???: What do you mean, Sugar?

Bzzt

Voice from Transceiver: <I've tried the other squads and the emergency radio, but nothing's getting through. Things are looking pretty bad.>

Voice from Transceiver: <What should I do?>

Bzzt

Mick: ...You've gotta be kidding me.

???: ......

???: We'll take these two with us.

Mick: C-Cap..! You mean they're gonna tag along!?

???: It's for their survival.

Mick: Ugh... Roger!

???: W-what are you talking about? Weren't we supposed to get rescued?

Mick: Sorry, but the plan's changed. You're coming with us.

???: Huh!? What do you mean!?

Mick: We've got business in Central General Hospital. You're coming there with us, for starters.

Mick: There should be a rescue squad there, too.

???: Cental General Hospital...

???: ...Ah, um, my friend is there! Do you know if he's safe?

Mick: I don't know, but we'll protect him if we find him. Just know that our mission comes first.

???: W-wait, hold on. You need to explain what's going on first!

???: Oh, right! What was the monster from earlier? Was it a zombie, as I thought?

???: ...If you tell us, we'll follow you without complaints.

???: ...Very well.

Mick: Cap...

???: As he said, an explanation is in order if we're going to have them come with us.

???: Awesome!

???: Mick, if you please.

Mick: ...Well, I guess we had to tell you sooner or later...

Mick: ...Like you said, those things are a type of zombie.

???: I knew it!!!

Mick: We call the ones you saw "the Gathered".

Mick: This was caused by a viral outbreak.

???: Gathered... A viral outbreak...

Mick: If body fluids like blood and saliva get from them into your body, you're infected. Same goes for if they bite or scratch you.

???: ......

Mick: For your average healthy person, it takes about half a day for the infection to spread.

???: Amazing..! So zombies really do exist! It's just like a movie!

???: You can' be serious...

Mick: ...That's about the gist of it. By the way, what are your names?

Somas: I'm Somas!

Yamarson: ...Yamarson.

Mick: Okay. Yamarson and Somas.

Mick: I'm Mick, an I.DOL officer. This is Captain Nagistopher.

Nagistopher: Nice to meet you.

Mick: Somas, are you a student? Have you ever held a gun?

Somas: Yes. I've taken a gun training class once..!

Mick: Then, take this. You should be able to use a handgun.

Somas: O-okay!

Nagistopher: You can have this.

Yamarson: ...I don't get a gun?

Mick: These weapons are for emergencies only.

Swish

Yamarson: Huh!?

Ratatat

Uooorgh

Yamarson: Ah..!?

Somas: When did they..!?

Mick: We'll do the fighting. Just focus on keeping yourselves safe.

Somas: A-alright.

Nagistopher: Let's be on our way.

Mick: Ah, by the way. I forgot to ask something important.

Mick: ...You guys haven't been bitten or scratched already, have you? 

18.30

???: Hey, Io. We'll be safe here, yes?

Io: For now. But I don't know how long that barricade will last...

???: Right... Still, you're very strong!

Io: Huh?

???: You saved me from being attacked, didn't you? Defeating them with one hit is quite the feat!

Io: It was pure luck!

Io: Besides, those things are slow, so a blow to their legs can stop them from moving.

???: Oh. I see! I think the fact that you can analyze them so calmly is incredible, as well!

???: I, on the other hand, panicked and wasted all this ammo...

Io: I'm used to the bow because I'm in the archery club.

Io: You'll be fine once you get used to this, too.

???: Really..?

Io: Yes. You can start by taking a deep breath and relaxing your shoulders before you aim.

Io: Even that should increase your accuracy.

???: Alright..! I'll try that next time!

Io: It's gotten awfully quiet all of a sudden...

???: ...I wonder what's going on outside.

Io: ...Wait..! T-take a look at that, the city's in chaos! Those monsters are the same that attacked this hospital.

???: This is...

Io: Sigh... I wonder if Somas is okay...

???: Somas?

Io: My classmate.

Io: We were together up until recently, but split up because I had business in this hospital.

Io: I can't get a hold of him.

???: That's very concerning...

Io: ........

???: ...Ah, um! I've never gone to school, so I envy you a bit for having such a close classmate!

Io: N-no... It just means I have one extra thing to worry about...

???: What is this Somas like?

???: Ah... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ask something so strange! I don't have any friends, so I was curious what it's like...

Io: It's fine, I'm about the same as you...

???: Huh?

Io: He... Somas has been my friend ever since we were little.

Io: He's a bothersome guy who loses sight of everything around him  whenever he finds a new obsession.

Io: ...I'm sure he's having fun even now, because he thinks this is all "just like a movie".

???: Oh! He sounds like an interesting person!

Io: Rictor... was it? Why were you here?

Rictor: I was called here by certain people, but I didn't see them...

Io: Certain people?

Rictor: The doctors who looked after me as a child.

Rictor: They sent me this...

Io: A letter..?

Rictor: "We'll be waiting in Central General Hospital on Oct. 30, at 16.00. You'll finally know the truth."

Io: ....... The truth about what..?

Rictor: I don't know. ...But I'm sure it must be important.

Io: I see. ...You must really trust these people.

Rictor: Yes! Both of them are very dear to me!

Rictor: Ah, I also got this!

Rictor: "Wonderful air, always with you, it's a magical air mask~♪"

Rictor: Very cool, isn't it!?

Io: Sigh... You know, I've been wondering...

Rictor: What?

Io: What exactly is the deal with that mask?

Rictor: Well obviously, the outside is dangerous. The air is polluted with all sorts of viruses and bacteria!

Rictor: Why, then, do you not wear a mask?

Io: Normal people don't wear those things!

Io: You're a strange one...

Uooorgh

Rictor: Ah..! The barricade..!

Swish

Io: C-calm down! We'll take them all down, one by one!

Rictor: A-alright..!

King of Prism SSS Episode 12 commentary (FINAL!)

Crunchyroll was awesome this time! 

No significant complaints on the subs!

You guys were awesome this time! 

So many people stuck around for the late viewing in the stream and even after just to chat! 

Now on to the actual episode. 

Once again sorry this is so long. But with this being the last one, can you really blame me.....?

.....As much I love this episode, this scene was just so painful. Worse than Shine’s show. Worse than that whole last episode combined. 

A lot of my predictions about Part 4 were wrong (will discuss later) but I was absolutely sure of one thing. I knew no matter what happened in Part 4 just one thing was FOR CERTAIN. And that was... I was going to have to see Shin cry. This precious boy who deserves nothing but love is going to suffer. And I tried to prepare myself. I tried. 

But somehow. Even though I knew. EVEN THOUGH I KNEW... It was way worse than I could have ever imagined.

I always assumed he would cry because he found out about something terrible about the past. But instead HE NEVER KNOWS THE TRUTH and we get him sobbing over something entirely NOT HIS FAULT... in front of everyone.... HOW.... HOW COULD THEY.... DO THIS... TO.... HI...M................ 

This scene upsets me so much I don’t know if I have ever even seen the whole thing. I always end up turning away at some point, or just curling up into a ball.....

Did anyone else feel like they were watching a totally different anime for a few seconds here? I’m having trouble telling if the style actually changed or if I.... just am not used to seeing Shin make expressions like this............. ba.....by..............

Leo always cries when anyone else is crying.

Even though everyone claps for him at the theater at cheering shows, it doesn’t make me feel better. AT ALL. Because Shin never knows the truth. NONE OF THEM DO. Okay we’ll talk about this more later but just..... gah it hurts........................................ So much that it actually hindered my enjoyment of what amazing thing comes next......

Back in the first movie era, the idea of a full CGI show of the Edel Rose boys with Shin as center was something that I could not imagine coming true even in my wildest dreams. And I love this show. I just wish it wasn’t proceeded by so much suffering. 

Shin being their center was something they decided at the Christmas live (before performing Dramatic Love for the first time) BTW. While it seems obvious to us that Shin would be center, it wouldn’t necessarily be as such in-universe. They had to decide at some point! And I’m glad it was a part of that story. 

I LOVE THESE OUTFITS. 

THEYRE PERFECT. The rainbows, the stars, the colors. Everyone looks AMAZING. And I know the rainbows are probably an homage to Over the Rainbow... BUT..

its just so gay

Prism stone beam???

This is orange I guess? It looks more yellow to me. A lot of the hand colors are kinda vague and I’m just like... WHO DID YOU TOUCH 

For anyone who read my I THINK I MARRIED ALL THE EDEL ROSE BOYS. OR THEY MARRIED EACH OTHER. ANYWAY EVERYONE IS MARRIED NOW shitty out of context spoiler I wrote in a comment obviously it was this ahahaha

I really do love this show, and like with the new Shuffle’s show last week I’m so glad I can finally watch it without the.... suffering. 

The first time I saw this in theaters, this exact frame right here was when I first started feeling any semblance of better after all that had happened. He looks so confident and gallant and his eyes are shining and he just.... Shin............... I love you so much....................................................................

Also this is a good spot to talk about their feathers I guess. So these are different from the other (male?) wings Shine had. Why? What does that mean? 

*throws hands in the air*

So, some folks may not be aware of this but the feathers from Rainbow Live were a feature of the arcade game. 

You could unlock them by raising the PairTomos, and even the night dream feathers look like they were available at one time during an event it seems?? I am not entirely sure how it all worked since I never played the game back in the heyday. (You can no longer obtain all the feathers now even if you bring a memory card to a currently running Pretty Rhythm machine since some just aren’t available anymore.)

But anyway, the actual point I was trying to make is that the feathers had a set  structure within Rainbow Live since it was grounded by the arcade game. But in King of Prism...... that just kinda do what they want.... s....o.............

The first time I went to cheering for this it was the premiere date, and it was also the first time I ever did cheering the same day. In between the morning/midnight showing a whole bunch of people had the idea to go to the 100 yen shop and get glowstick rings just for this scene. I was like daaaamn. 

But then...

Our first official non-Crunchyroll translation of prism no kirameki? 

Even the Juuouin group worships “the prism”. 

And I can’t help laugh at the irony that Crunchyroll abandoned using “the prism” but also just ignored the translation ALREADY ON SCREEN

I can’t take his scream here. It’s just like.... HE WAS ALREADY DYING, WHY DID THEY HAVE TO SPEED UP THE PROCESS. 

LOUIS. 

LOUIS NOOOOOOOOO. 

Even as late as it is, I am really, really grateful how they took a few seconds to establish for the new audience exactly how much of their shows are powered by prism sparkle. 

Note that they did not change out of their costumes though. But my headcanon on this is that Leo just prefers to make the real thing because he can. 

Singing at cheering shows is also everything I have ever wanted. 

I feel bad though since I pretty much always get tongue tied here every time. It’s hard to just sing acapella to a song you’re not that familiar with. Especially with the sparkely lyrics appearing and disappearing like this. I actually don’t hear that many other people singing in the theater, perhaps for that reason? But I always try my best. 

And now that this is finally out, I can finally practice at home and nail this down with confidence just in time for...... SSS to leave theaters..... um............ ye....ah........

I also mess this up like every single time ahaha. It’s just slightly too fast for me to read. 

Someday I will succeed in properly marrying all of the Edel Rose boys. Someday. 

(Also I don’t think this was rainbow-colored in the theatrical version.)

So Edel Rose and all their fans just up and created a prism goddess so we don’t need the prism gods anymore. Can they do that? Can we do that? I guess we can! 

WE DID IT GUYS

It’s oddly fitting that Hijiri is kind of an ugly crier. I mean, he’s just so beautiful the rest of the time. It’s only right. 

So let’s unpack this for a sec. Unbeknownst to them, because the Edel Rose boys all married each other they put a new seal on Shine. But this seal is entirely dependent on their marriage their bond with each other. 

How literal is that I wonder?

Because like.... Edel Rose won’t last forever. Kakeru, Minato, and Yukinojo are gonna be going to college in a year and a half.... ahah ha.....

I just imagine like. A couple of them meeting on the street in the distant future being like “Oh man I haven’t seen you in forever!” “Yeah! We really lost touch! Hey, have you heard from Shin lately?” “No, you?” And behind them is like a TV report of Shin become Shine destroying a city or something. 

.....................Reminder again that this commentary is coming from the place where I am after having a couple months to let this all sink in and get to the point where I am comfortable joking about it.... ahah ha........ 

This is one of my coping mechanisms for dealing with the idea that my favorite character basically has the devil living inside of him trying to take over at any moment.....

Another one is thinking back to older King of Prism media and wondering what Shine was doing at that time. Like, I imagine him floating there inside Shin all bored and pissed off making sarcastic comments at whatever the Edel Rose boys are doing. And I find this hilarious for some reason. I’d make a webcomic about it if I could draw.

ANYWAY 

So my understanding of this scene (which may or may not be totally correct) is: The Edel Rose boys’ rings put a seal on Shine which drags him down back into the depths of where Rinne first plunged him. But before he goes, he installs(?) his powers into Shin so that Shin is free to use Shine’s powers on his own now. (Up until now he was just like borrowing them?) 

If you also briefly wondered how they could have gotten a perfect score after failing a jump, my guess is the Prism System just wasn’t recording at that time due to the lack of prism sparkle ahah ha. 

They absolutely mopped the floor with the new Shuffle, and it did not matter.

What makes this so nuts to me is that even before I saw Part 4, like way back after I first saw episode 5 I was already comparing Joji to a twisted Hiro. (Elaborated on this in my episode 5 post.) And then this aha. 

So in the theatrical version I swear the crowd here has light blue lights. And I wondered if it was on purpose to be like inverted Hiro (who goes from light blue -> yellow in the Prism King Cup, so Joji went yellow -> light blue?) but nope, I guess somebody just forgot Joji’s theme color is yellow ahaha. In the TV version they just made it multi-colored. 

So to add more context to some things, you may remember I mentioned before that Part 4 premiered in Japanese theaters in the gap between when Taiga and Kakeru’s episodes aired on TV. So by the time Joji’s episode aired on TV... I already knew this was gonna happen. I already knew we were watching the number one prism show. THE CHAMP. The only 2D prism show.... SO MUCH IRONY. 

But you know what. Despite his show being what it was..... After all the time to let it sink in.. After all the dust has settled.... the one solo song which is my clear favorite..... The only one which has gotten stuck in my head WAY MORE than ANY other.... is Joji’s. 

(Well, Ace’s. But still.)

So. 

Congrats Prism Champ. 

Never thought I’d say this but poor Jin. Even when he ACTUALLY TRIES to do something fair for once...... still......

(Goddammit Shine.)

Poor Joji? Or not. It’s hard to feel bad for him when he’s THE PRISM CHAMP ahaha. Like. He made it. He has everything he ever strived to obtain. On the surface anyway. 

How Nori-kun feels about this though, who knows. Will we ever?

DOES IT REALLY NOT? Haha I really don’t understand this at all. Like. Was it really political pressure? Did Jin fold since he didn’t win in the way that he wanted to? Did Kakeru pull some strings behind the scenes again?

*throws hands in the air*

AND THIS

It’s framed to be this super significant scene but

WHAT DOES IT MEANNNNNNNN

I have already touched on this in separate posts, and this post is so long already that I’m going to kind of leave it hanging here but I consider Kakeru’s plot in SSS to be a loose end. He was the only boy who did not have a plot with some kind of resolution about himself. Instead Kakeru’s plot was only about other people.....

FINALLY, the ultimate conclusion to the infamous curry plot of Pride the Hero.

AND FINALLY

YOU

GUYS 

I WAS SO MAD 

The official King of Prism Twitter and such were actually pretty good at hiding Dorachi before Alexander’s episode aired. But Torachi was just EVERYWHERE and I was like COME... ON. REALLY.

So you may have noticed this but he was added to the opening too. For us seeing SSS in the theaters, we only get one OP per showing. So this means Japan actually got this spoiled before episode 10. 

But I didn’t. I didn’t even notice because I just wasn’t thinking to look for it. (Also I guess sitting in a terrible seat to the far right twisting my neck at an angle may have had something to do with it but.) When I first saw the reveal of Torachi in episode 12 it was TOTAL SURPRISE for me......

But as much as I love Taiga though, Dorachi is my clear favorite. My Dorachi merch collection will start as soon as I can get my hands on ANYTHING

Also I wonder at what point Alexander figured out that DJ COO was Rei, because he sure knows now ahah. 

But anyway, speaking of spoilers....

I know I said at one point Nikkanen and the twins didn’t have any significant appearances in SSS, but that was before Part 4 and I just decided not to correct that and let you guys be surprised AHAHAH you’ll just have to hate me *BLASTS OFF INTO THE SUNSET*

(I’m so glad they seem to have cleaned up Nikkanen’s face a little. He looked so weird in the theater. Or like.... weirder at least.)

(If you don’t know these boys they are already established characters introduced on the Prism Rush mobile game.)

And what do THESE feathers mean..... 

LOUIS ISN’T DYING ANYMORE DONT CARE *NYOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM* 

By the way I can’t believe the prism sparkle disappearing and Louis becoming the protector of the world WAS FORESHADOWED IN ROAD TO SSS 9. That’s why I reblogged this post the other day.

It’s so funny how much of Road to SSS didn’t matter. Then you get to event 9 and LITERALLY EVERYTHING MATTERS. 

And again.... speaking of spoilers............

The week before Yu’s episode aired I AGONIZED about whether to put in some kind of vague hint that the Edel Rose boys new unit name was revealed in that episode (as part of Yu’s prism jump). Ultimately I decided not to. Because even though I didn’t figure it out at the time, I think with even a vague hint I probably would have. Because even when I saw it back then I was like.... “...... huh........” 

So you’re just gonna hafta haaaaaaaaate ahahaahah ha sorry

But anyway! Now I can finally stop referring to our seven stars as the “Edel Rose boys” and from now on call them SeptEntrion! Since calling them just the “Edel Rose boys” isn’t really accurate anymore since it would also include the twins and Nikkanen, etc. I’m happy that the main seven finally have a good name to distinguish them. 

(Now I need to learn to remember how to spell SeptEntrion....) 

Also

You guys in the livestream ruined this for me so I’m ruining it for everyone too.

Look at the red letters. 

Then flip over your desk and storm out of the room like I almost did when I noticed. 

WHY

THERE IS NO WAY THAT IS NOT ON PURPOSE

WHY 

So, a few weeks ago I was in Tokyo and I decided to stop by the Yotsuya station area.

I found the site of the supposed Yotsuya Credit union  (which is actually a lottery ticket stand) and the KPO KFC almost immediately. 

I also found out there is a Catholic university in the area, and although it doesn’t look anything like Edel Rose that seems like not a coincidence. 

So I started to walk around that area, but try as I might I could not find any little  shopping streets like the one in the anime. The area didn’t look like it would have that sort of place at all. Also it was POURING RAIN, I was just at Aqours 5th live the previous day, I had at least 6 hours to get home, and I was anxious to make it there with plenty of time for the stream of Alexander’s episode which we were doing that night. I decided to give up and head to the KFC to console myself over chicken, coleslaw, and biscuits before beginning the journey home when LOW AND BEHOLD 

RIGHT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE KFC

WAS THIS 

IT DOES EXIST 

And there is not nearly enough room for SeptEntrion to perform here ahaha. 

I can’t help but notice that while they used Prism One performance snapshots for all the other boys, Shin is in his old Over the Sunshine outfit. Well I mean. OF COURSE HE IS. But.....

But I really can’t help but wonder what the boys are thinking nowadays in retrospect about what happened. 

I mean, not that they shouldn’t love and trust Shin. Of course they should. 

But if my friend turned to pure evil for a solid 15 minutes I would be.... CONCERNED for him? ?? To say the least. 

The fact that THEY DONT KNOW AND MAY NEVER KNOW really just eats at me

I suppose Louis or June could tell them. But I don’t think Louis ever will since he just wants to protect Shin, and June..... where would she even start. 

Not to mention what does Yamada-san think about how Shin just BECAME Wataru Hibiki like I.... I just have several questions but......

The cheering audience for the half second we can see Torachi here: “..............................................................AHHHHH!..................................................”

I wondered for weeks what the TV ED would be for this episode, and as soon as Boy Meets Girl started playing I was like...... OF. COURSE.

Hahah I’m glad though. So far the only SeptEntrion version Boy Meets Girl we’ve had was live (at MRS) and I often thought of ripping the audio from the DVD just to have it, but now I won’t have to. The TV audience never got to hear the theatrical ending 366 Love Diary though, which is kind of a shame. That song is such a big part of SSS to me.

So when we do the livestreams, I often have the live episode playing on my actual TV with the sound off. The stream is delayed by a few minutes so it’s been great for cues to help prepare stuff to type into the chat about things coming up.

While you guys were still in the meat of this episode, I casually glanced over my shoulder and saw THIS on my TV

Shin in the outfit Leo originally made him for the Prism One.

And just started having a seizure that lasted until the credits ended BECAUSE THEN THIS. THIS RIGHT HERE.

Playing to the left is the theatrical weekly video we got in the third week of Part 4. 

(It has actual dialogue in the theaters, but here they just muted it and laid it over the credits. I went to the theater yesterday JUST to take notes on this for you guys ahaha. Glad I didn’t need to though.)

But like. When I first saw this in the theaters... 

I was so SO sure this was a joke. I mean Prism 2!?! Seriously!? 

But now I don’t know WHAT to think. 

ESPECIALLY ABOUT THIS

But um. Someone tell me the anime references I’m missing here:

And which of these are newly revealed YMT29 boys ahah:

And..... that’s it....

This is Louis’ coded way of telling Shin he’ll love him forever I guess. 

Aw man

you guys

we made it

ROUND OF APPLAUSE 

Ahhhhhhhhhh

ITS BEEN A JOURNEY

So Part 4 turned out way differently than I predicted. When the episodes were first announced and episode 12 was “Unknown”, my immediate thought was “it’s gonna be Shine.” Especially since the quote for Shin’s episode was something like “what have I done,” I assumed he would gain some memories of the past in episode 11 and was talking about something he/Shine did in the past. Then I thought Shine would perform in episode 12 and cause a bad end. Even though we knew Edel Rose was scheduled for a unit performance, I was skeptical if it would actually happen or not as I doubted Shin would be in any condition to perform in episode 12. (I also wondered if maybe we already HAD already seen their unit show in the OP and thus wouldn’t be getting a new song.) 

But when the CDs were announced and I saw the last one said “unit song” I was like.... ohhh.... I guess they will perform as a unit after all? That’s good? 

Turns out I was right at least in predicting that Shine would get a show, but not that he would STEAL SHIN’S SHOW, and that Shin’s “what have I done” quote was about THE PRESENT DAY and something that Shin DID NOT DO. AHHH THE PAIN. 

Although it really cuts me deep that Shin never learns the truth, I am grateful we got that unit show and a happy ending. 

But.... 

OR IS IT? 

says a voice in my head.

Shine’s coming back someday. And we can’t kill him without blanking Shin. Hghkhgkdhlkdh.

If I didn’t know any better I’d say the grand endgame climax of King of Prism would be SeptEntrion teaching Shine to love. But we already know from director spoilers that supposedly the grand climax is about saving Jin. I have a sinking suspicion Shine and Jin may be connected in some way though. 

Who fucking knows where we’re going from now. 

Other than WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON with Jin, another one of my big questions is does the Prism King Cup even matter anymore? Since the Prism One was supposed to replace it, but that didn’t go so well. HAHAH are we REALLY doing the Prism Two come on now..........

But anyway. I suppose there is no point in drawing this out it any further

for now

this is THE END

Thank you all SO MUCH for coming on this journey with me

It’s been such a joy sharing all this with you

And I hope to see you around

SHINY SEVEN STARS FOREVER

EDEL ROSE SPARKING
