#ultra weird girl rambles

[ultraweirdgirl13]

no because the way Edwin and Charles first met....

THAT SCENE BROKE ME TO PIECES

[ultraweirdgirl13]

At first, I thought it was Caleb. And I ran with that while watching the entire episode. And i came up with this entire theory

What if, Belos and Caleb reunited, not in the demon realm, but in the little realm between worlds? The realm that Luz was in when she saw that thing. What if, Belos killed Caleb while in that realm, and then dragged his body to the Demon realm, and used his body to create grimwalkers. But because Caleb was killed there, his soul is stuck there. What if, like in any ghost movie, he's there because he has unfinished business, which is to help his brother come to the realization that witches aren't bad. But because he's stuck in that little realm between realms, he could never do what needed to be done to move on. So he spend his time walking around, and waiting for Belos to eventually pass through, and go back to the human realm.

The problem with this theory is the creature's wings. I could argue that those are angel/demon wings, but that's a stretch.

Flashforward to a few days ago. I was re-watching TOH in prep for the finale and I went to the fandom page for Titans and read in the description that some titans have WINGS!!!

And when you flip that picture of the creature around, you can sort of see the skull of the creature

So my current theory is that that creature in the realm between realms is a Titan!!

King's dad to be specific

Think about it. The titan that the boiling isles is on is HUGE. A bit too huge to create a tiny egg that King would crawl out of. Plus, remember the war between the collector's kind and the Titans. Major casualties on both sides.(I assume that's why the Collector is alone on the demon realm)

Sooo... hear me out

The head Titan sent someone out to hide King from the war that was going on. But as that Titan returns, he hurts himself. Maybe a Collector attacks him, or Jean-Luc, or maybe he trips and falls. Whatever. The point is, he gets hurt and bleeds. And the magic in his blood creates the first portal, to the world between worlds.

So he shows this portal to the head Titan, and they write it down somewhere. Maybe in the ruins where they hide King. Point is, they write it down (It's important that they wrote it down, b/c thats how Belos will find it and use it to create the portal door.)

Then, they send a scout, or King's dad through it, in hopes that it will lead to other creatures as strong as or stronger than the collectors. But, either he failed his mission, or he isn't able to find a way out. Either way, he's stuck there.

That was until Luz came along.

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGO

ALTERNATE THEORY!!!!!

OK SO WHAT IF, Titan's knew about their blood being the key to traveling between realms. And they used that to try and conquer, or explore other worlds.

When they stumbled upon the realm that held the Collectors!!!!

WHAT IF THE COLLECTORS INVADED THE DEMON REALM B/C THEY WERE BUTT-HURT THAT THE TITANS HAD MORE POWER THAN THEM

WHICH LEAD TO THE GREAT WAR, AND KING'S DAD GOING BACK TO THAT REALM BETWEEN REALMS IN ORDER TO FIND SOMEONE TO DEFEAT THE COLLECTORS.

AHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHA

I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS EPISODE, EVEN THOUGH IM SAD IT'S ENDING

I actually have absolutely no idea what this is ….any theories ???

[le-agent-egg]

Sorry i gotta yap for a second. Why do Leon and Kanon have different last names if their dads are brothers.

Like it says in their wikis that Leon’s dad is Kanon’s dad’s older brother. So like. Why do they have different last names? The only explanations i can think of is that, either they had different last names at birth, either Leon or Kanon has their mom’s last name, or one of them has two dads (though i think this is the least likely since their parents were probably married in the late 80s or early 90s, and same sex marriage wasn’t legal back then like. Anywhere.)

This is my personal headcanon: their dads have the same last name, but Kanon has her mom’s last name, since she didn’t take her husband’s last name; Leon’s mom took her husband’s last name, which basically means Leon has no other option for a last name lmao

ALSO. MORE YAP ALERT TIME.

What’s Leon’s natural hair colour? Because it is said that he dyes it (side note why would you willingly dye your hair ginger-)

Here’s what I think: Leon is a natural blonde (womp womp) and I think this for a couple reasons. First off his beta design is blonde which I feel like would be a coolio reference. BUT SECOND. GET READY CAUSE IM GOING FULL ON BIO TEACHER ON YOU.

Kanon, while her wiki page says she has chestnut brown hair (bullshit look at her) probably has blonde hair. It looks like a really really pale blonde. Which means that her parents at least need to have one dominant gene and one recessive gene each (since blonde hair is a recessive trait) if we assume Kanon’s dad is blonde, which makes him recessive/recessive, that means that it’s probably likely that his parents (L and K’s paternal grandparents) at least have one blonde person, since getting recessive/recessive out of two dominant/recessive is pretty unlikely. This means that it’s very much possible for Leon’s dad to also have that recessive/recessive or dominant/recessive gene for hair. If we assume that Leon’s mom has at least one recessive allele, that means Leon could very well be blonde. Additionally it’s implied he does have decent genetics in terms of hair because yada yada constantly grows out - if he’s bleaching AND dyeing that shit there’s no way is it still fluffy and nice and grows out well and fast.

TO MAKE A VERY LONG STORY SHORT VIA THE DIAGRAM AGAIN:

Just for a little reference for myself, this is how i personally draw them (with genetic bullet points!!)

Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

ultra despair girls is by, both technicality and in practice, a survival horror game with a female lead in similar vein as silent hill 3, rule of rose, fatal frame, clock tower, haunting ground, and so forth

but ya'll ain't ready to have this conversation

[designernishiki]

god I……love club sunshine so fucking much…………

[austajunk]

One of my favorite things about Ultra Despair Girls is listening to the kid characters talk.

Like Jataro and Kotoko especially just ramble on and on about weird shit because their attention spans are still at this young age. Even Monaca just automatically gets bored with something if it fails to properly catch her attention. Nagisa doesn’t typically display this trait out of all of them because of his childhood and how he was pretty much raised by abusive parents to be an overachieving perfectionist to even get any scrap of worth or acceptance from them.

So many kid characters in anime are boring or there to be all cutesy. I really love that the Warriors of Hope are just… really gross and absent-minded. It’s not that they aren’t clever or anything, but their imaginations are at the age of just being on overdrive and so they go on tangents or lose interest and think of something better, cutting off their current thought processes…

Like Kotoko just has to tell everyone what her favorite food is and also what her least favorite food is and what she thinks about giraffes or eggs… and that’s just funny and cool of her. Hell, I love it even when the kiddy stuff covers up darker things like Masaru’s design of this standard shounen-esque kiddo with the little bandaids and scratches look is really hiding an outwardly and physically abused child.

It’s just really neat is all.

Fall 2023 Anime Overview: I'm in Love with the Villainess

Premise: Rae is reincarnated as the heroine of her favorite dating sim. But she has no interest in romancing any of the boys- she's head over heels for Claire Francois, the villainess of the game. Claire is horrified to find the major target of her bullying suddenly enjoys it, often pleading "step on me harder". But Rae isn't just here to flirt with Claire- she has a plan to save her beloved from a horrible fate.

I'm allowed to have a problematic gay fave. In fact, I would call it my right as a lesbian. And I enjoy I'm in Love with a Villainess a lot, despite some bumps in the road. It's tropey as all get out and a story that shows signs of having an inexperienced author, but it has real heart to it, it's full of joy, and connects with me in surprising way.

I'll try not to ramble too much, since I'm planning on writing a longer article on this series-- so keep your eyes peeled.

I'm in Love with the Villainess might not always be polished or expertly crafted, but it is very fun and entertaining. Rae ignoring all the male love interests to stan for her mean girl fave is ultra relatable to me, and her gremlin energy is off the charts. Claire is also a super fun character-- if you love ridiculous ojou-sama characters, she is max ojou sama. But she's also hiding a lot of insecurity and of course, a secret soft side-- her character arc over the course of the series is really satisfying.

However, Rae's pushiness might be a sticking point for some. Her worst moments are mostly contained to episode 2 where she does inexcusable things like ogling Claire while she's changing (against Claire's wishes) after having wriggled her way into a position as her maid (against Claire's wishes, though Rae does have secret noble reasons for that one). This is her worst moment and she calms down a bit from there as the story starts to find itself. Her pushiness remains, but gets a bit less uncomfortable as it becomes clear Claire likes her too.

This pushiness clashes a bit with a really interesting thing ILTV does--which is engage bluntly and honestly with homophobia and stereotypes. There's a great moment in episode three where the series. Rae is asked point blank if she's gay, she responds yes. When Claire moves away from her in response, it's pointed out to her that's a form of homophobia, and it's pointed out how screwed up it is to believe anyone who's gay is automatically going to creep on every girl they see. Rae also gently corrects someone who gives her the common "she just happened to be a woman, you're just falling in love with the person right? Your love just transcends gender?" line, (which is a common line that's used to avoid talking about queerness directly in manga and anime) with "no, I'm a lesbian, I only fall in love with women."

And yes, homophobes got big mad at this scene. How dare a yuri anime be gay! I'm in Love with the Villainess does not let homophobic yuri fans feel safe.

It's really refreshing to see a silly isekai series directly engage with stereotypes and lesbian issues like this, and it was a very pleasant surprise when I read the novels.

However, this message is a little muddled by the fact Rae did harass Claire, so Claire has every right to feel uncomfortable around her. The show does acknowledge this. The story makes it clear it knows Claire has a right to distrust Rae and it's her responding badly specifically to Rae saying she's gay is the problem. But it's still very weird to simultaneously have a "gay people aren't automatically predators!!!" coupled with "well also our gay main character does commit a little sexual harassment sometimes".

(Some of this weirdness could have been rectified if the story had character besides Claire act badly to Rae saying she was gay, and have them get the lecture, since the point was supposed to be that gay people don't hit on every member of the same gender they meet...but again, that point falls flat if the lecture recipient is Claire, since Rae has already been hitting on her).

I don't really begrudge the author this- Inori was obviously just engaging in the unfortunately typical anime tropes, but also decided to also use her story to passionately educate about and defend gay people and couldn't quite reconcile the dissonance. However, it is very "have your cake and eat it too".

But ILTV does do a very interesting thing with the common anime trope of the overly demonstrative lesbian character who does wacky hijinks and declares her love in a "funny" way. Rae reveals she's so used to being treated badly and rejected by friends and crushes for being gay that she treats her feelings as big joke as a defense mechanism. Because she’s so used to being rejected for her sexuality, she’s given up on earnestly pursuing Claire from the beginning. She doesn’t think she has a shot and she doesn’t want to risk being rejected. However, if she’s loud and obnoxious about her love for Claire, the inevitable rejection doesn’t hurt so much.

She makes it so Claire’s rejecting her for being a weirdo, not because she’s gay. If it's a joke, then when everyone laughs at it and dismisses it, it doesn’t hurt…and she can still be honest about and open about being gay. She can fool even herself and stay around Claire without any of that heartbreak and awkwardness that destroyed relationships the other times she confessed her love.

Rae's arc throughout the show is overcoming her assumption that Claire would be happier with a man and there's no point in earnestly courting her. She's so used to being degraded, she thinks it's impossible she could give Claire a good life and impossible that her real feelings will be accepted.

It doesn't excuse Rae's actions, but it does make her a very interesting character, and one that's meaningful to me as a lesbian. It adds surprising depth to a usually tired trope.

There's also some other interesting aspects of the anime, like how Rae simps for Claire but doesn't simp for her classism. She often gently challenges her on it, and the "commoner uprising" plot, while pretty weirdly paced and (temporarily) resolved, does treat the commoners sympathetically. Considering how other kinds of isekai regularly excuse shit like buying slaves, it's nice to see one that very much sympathizes with marginalized.

Though the commoner uprising plot does lead us to the other huge caveat with the anime- incest. Yeesh. There's a plot twist where it's revealed that side characters are in an incestuous relationship, and they're treated as tragic and sympathetic, they have a love that cannot be accepted, etc. The anime makes this worse by having Rae say "homosexuality isn't the only kind of forbidden love", which (unintentionally?) equates queerness and incest, which is something homophobes often do too. (The novels aren't innocent either, Rae laments "Why can't people be free to love who they want" at one point in a way that less explicitly equates the two things). However I was able to stand this because it's mainly executed as a plot twist. We don't get any details about the character's relationships, we barely see them even stand next to each other, and they're out of the plot fairly quickly. I can absolutely see this being a deal breaker for someone less numb to anime bullshit through.

And finally, a character comes in who acts fairly manipulative and skeezy towards Rae herself, though the drama she does stoke is great stuff.

So yes, I mean it when I say it has problems! But I find the fun shenanigans, blatant lesbian wish fulfillment, honest advocation for queer people, and the joy and earnestness of the series worth it enough I can grit my teeth through it all. It should also be noted that Inori, the author, is a trans lesbian, and that's another big reason why this is so special to many people-- it's a lot easier to forgive a new author for some uneven writing when she has a stake in telling queer stories.

The anime is obviously one that doesn't have a lot of resources (and I missed some of Rae's interior monologue, which gets more into what a nerd girl she is) but it does a decent job with what it had (though I would have liked it to condense or cut some of the magic duels and Rae doing harassment to focus more on the stories strengths, but alas). I have my fingers crossed for a second season, but the yuri don't tend to get those, so I'm not holding my breath.

Is ILTV's pacing sometimes weird? Yes, the commoner uprising doesn't get as much attention as it should. Is it sometimes clumsy? Oh yes. Do I still get a joy like no other when Rae kicks aside the screen prompting her to choose a male interest to yell for Claire instead, or when she fantasizes about herself and Claire being warriors together? Hell yes.

ILTV is often silly, often flawed, but you know what, queer people get to have our silly, flawed, but still occasionally touching stories as well. Straight people have has a monopoly on it too long. It's not a series for everyone, but it's a series that spoke to some struggling queer people regardless, and it's a series that makes me smile, and that's all that matters at the end of the day.

Hi!!

What is your opinion on servant/despair nagito?

AUGH! hello autism activating anon thank you from your ask!

Servant I think honestly is pretty well written and doesn't erase any of Nagito's character which I really love. Also he's in like the most bdsm outfit??? ever??? HUH?? it's kind of hilarious tbh.

Mostly, I really enjoy that as a Despair Nagito's beliefs aren't just erased. He's willing to do even more for hope than before, becoming despair himself, whereas before he seemed to have a limit he wouldn't cross. Which is honestly saying something since he thinks murder can be valid in the name of hope beforehand anyways.

I also like the funny detail that he's a servant with a chain on his neck at all times, but no one is really pulling the strings? Like, he's a "servant," to the warriors of hope but truly he has control over the situation. He chooses to stay there, if he truly desired to he could have left. His chain is there, he has the appearance of a servant, but no one is tugging on it, he's the one truly in control. Hopefully that makes sense lmao!!

I also thought that him seeing Komaru being a normal girl and knowing Makoto had hidden hope as a talent thinking she might have hope as well is pretty well written! It definitely makes sense why he'd think that.

Also, as weird as it is I actually really like how he looks as servant. The artwork for his sprites and the fanart I've seen is really awesome honestly!!

I used to think that he was just in Ultra Despair Girls for fan service, which probably a bit, but I do actually really enjoy how they use his role as a contributing antagonist properly. It's mostly expanding upon the idea of him as a Despair that we see in Chapter 0 of Danganronpa 2 with his love and hate obsession with Junko. He wants to be more involved than ever before and has no limit for how far he'll go, he actively will create the despair needed himself for hope to thrive. And that's so cool!!! It's basically pulling him and his beliefs their utmost extreme to explain how someone like him could become a despair, and the best part is that it makes sense! You can understand it given his character. He hates despair, so the only way he'd ever be okay with becoming despair is if it was in the name of hope, and that's exactly what they do!

I also think it's SO funny that out of all of the despairs, he's the most harmless out of them. Like, Sonia burned her own country to the GROUND, Teruteru ate his OWN MOTHER, but Nagito? He was just a servant to some weird terrorist kids, and ultimately was the main contributing factor to hope winning in the end. He brought Komaru so there could be a fair fight with Hope and Despair after all!

I think Mocaca's character after Ultra Despair Girls was kind of treated badly lmao, like, I feel like there was a lot of missed potential but they just threw her to the side because they never planned to do anything with her. However the Idea Nagito's ramblings just made her sick of the world is HILARIOUS though. Kind of Ironic that he saved her in hopes to be a successor to Junko for more hope to win in the end when his contributions led her to becoming nothing.

Also pretty Ironic that he KNEW what Izuru was going to do, and he wanted to see Junko again. But he never did, he died before he got to see what him as a Despair wanted to see. By his own hands nonetheless!!

Nagito as a Despair is really fucking weird with his outfit and all, but I actually really do love him. I really love the outfit, the approach they take to the only way he could become a despair with his beliefs, and his role in the story.

The brainwashing plot is a little clumsy, but I do enjoy that the way they treat brainwashing in the Danganronpa franchise is that the despair video manipulates your emotions. It doesn't overwrite anything, it just adds a desire to cause despair or excuses causing despair more. I think it's a little more realistic than just a whole bunch of teenagers being talked into becoming terrorists anyway.

servant you are iconic mwa <3

Reverse - from The Secret Portal Part Two (George POV)

Right now, I was on one of the larger couches in the Sublevel Three breakroom. The holoscreen was broken, and I was the only one who wanted to fix it. Everyone else was working on someone else and didn’t think the video games I wanted to play were important enough. It wasn't the only thing I cared about that the fully-growns didn’t. Carla, for one. She had been frozen in time ever since—that was it. Frozen. She could be fixed, I knew. Dad had been working on a way to reverse the effects of a chronokinetic’s power. I told them that. But they instead wanted to work on large-skill replication of chronokinesis. Dad managed to do so, but now it was ultra-important since the Refuga had it on a large scale.

Lock(ed) - from The Secret Portal Part One (Ash POV)

Patience - from The Secret Portal Part Two (Hye-Jin POV)

I said goodbye to my mother and hopped out of the car. I ran toward my friend Lexi’s house and knocked on the door. Then I stood waiting patiently for an answer. Lexi and I had known each other for years, given that our fathers had as well. I looked down at Lexi’s present in my hands. Hopefully she’d like it.

“You lost your rights to call anything American cheese after your processed product that has the same texture as the plastic-wrap single it comes in that you have the gall to call cheese!” “Hey!” I protested. “The only people whose favorite cheese is American cheese are people who have never tried other cheeses.” Liam’s fiery gaze locked onto mine, ready to fight. I peeked into his mind out of curiosity to find the section on Muenster cheese. The creamy gooiness he’d described entered my mouth. Holy shit that was good.

Listen - from The Secret Portal Part One (Maddie POV)

“Are you sure you know what you’re doing?” I asked Carla sitting in front of me. Carla folded her hands on the table. “Maddie, I am well-versed in how all the Alii powers work. So, yes.” I sighed, resting my chin on my hands I had propped on the table by my elbows. Liam had an after-school debate thing to go to, so until he got here, Carla had volunteered to walk me through the basics of shapeshifting, at least what she knew about it from her books. Personally, I thought doing it would be more informative, but Carla disagreed. We now sat at one of the tables shoved into the corner of the training room. While everyone else got to do things, I was now forced to sit and listen to this weird talking thing I didn’t understand. I was itching to practice morphing.

Open - from The Secret Portal Part One (Ash POV)

I tried expanding my mind to find anything that could help with the situation. I felt my consciousness stretch out over the entire building, a large, elaborate mansion, as I could now tell. I heard that screaming girl again, but pushed her aside. I’d already figured she was most likely a memory. A sudden pull caused my eyes to fly open. I jumped to my feet, spinning to run in the opposite direction.

Discover - from The Secret Portal Part One (Lexi POV)

Eventually, we entered a clearing where a handful of people were scattered around. “Robbie!” A boy about his age waved him over. “Where were—” he noticed Kelsey. “Oh, you found her.” “Take her to Wade,” said Robbie, passing Kelsey to the other boy, who led her further into the clearing. It wasn't until then I realized the strange smoothness of the kid’s movements and glanced down to discover he was flying.

Leave - from The Secret Portal Part One

“I think it’ll be interesting,” said Rose. “We’re fighting against a corrupt government. That sounds like fun.” “Since when do you do things because they’re fun?” Noelle asked. “Well, I dunno about the rest of you,” said Rose, “but I’m going back next weekend.” “Really?” Lexi asked. Rose nodded. Rose thought this plan sounded awesome. A chance to defy authority? A chance to not just get out of the house, but leave the dimension?

Stay - from The Secret Portal Part One (Akash POV)

I glared at my reflection. My hair wouldn’t stay down no matter what I did. I sighed. If the definition of insanity was repeating the same thing and expecting a different result, I should’ve been locked away years ago.

Given - from The Secret Portal Part One (Noelle POV)

“I’ll admit, I was disappointed that you weren’t Inutilia, too.” “Why?” Mom sighed, turning to face me when we pulled up to a stoplight. “You can’t comprehend what it’s like to grow up powerless in a world of power. You learn to hate the society that oppressed you. And you’re now part of those oppressors.” I broke my gaze away from her. “Carissa, look at me.” I obeyed. “You’re in a unique position. I want you to fight for the Inutilia. If you must be given powers, you might as well do something good with them. I’ll let you decide what that is.”

Yourself - from The Secret Portal Part One (Akash POV)

“You wanna sit down?” Gwen asked me, gesturing to the spot next to her. I shook my head. “Thanks, but I’m good just flying.” “Doesn’t it get tiring?” she asked. I laughed, rubbing my hand through my hair. “Nah, it’s pretty relaxing, actually.” That was true. At first, I had to consciously keep myself up in the air, but now it was just as easy as standing. Or how I assumed standing was. Maybe you actually had to consciously keep yourself upright. I didn’t know.

Finite - from The Secret Portal Part Two (Gwen POV)

“Not all universes are complete,” Liam pointed out. “Dimensiokinetics are rare enough to where most data is from those who can sense universes, rather than travel to them. Regardless of what level of a dimensiokinetic, however, there’s no possible way to gather all the data. Kamanzi could have likely sent a dimensiokinetic to a universe that showed potential for whatever she needed, but she wanted some eyes on the inside of how it operated.” Lexi put her head in her hands. “We’re not getting anywhere with this.” “We can still sort through the dimensions in the database,” Gabriel offered. “I can sort through the ones there and eliminate what I can. It will take a very long time, though, even with the finite that have been recorded.”

Glory - N/A

[catgirl-catboy]

Weird opinion but, I’m a big Hifumi fan and I feel like he’s extremely underrated compared to Tsumugi, a more conventionally attractive weeb.

oh, he is 100% underrated, expecially considering the fandom made Gonta into basically Hifumi 2.0.

I was talking to my friend Crow about this the other day, and I genuinely think Hifumi should not have been a trial 3 character, and that he makes a better victim for Sayaka than Leon.

Two young kids are very lonely. One's family is never mentioned until Ultra Despair Girls, one has an absentee father.

They both find something that changes the course of their lives, and gives existence meaning.

An idealized image of a girl.

They both devote their entire selves into chasing that image, and have no relationships outside of that.

One is glorified for her devotion, the other is demonized for his "obsessiveness", despite this being the school for obsessive types.

Both are dehumanized.

It'd be the perfect commentary on how Hope's Peak as a whole fails every student that attends it, and it wouldn't be at the expense of Leon's character either!

He fits with the themes of chapter 3 beautifully, and honestly I'd buy him making the mistakes with Robo Justice before I'd buy Hifumi making them. Leon is about coolness over practicality, and nobody gets good at art without having at least a passing interest in anatomy.

Also also also, if you take Hifumi's character with any degree of seriousness, which I do because I am way too serious about everything Danganronpa- he meets all the criteria for a depersonalization/derealization disorder. Celeste WANTS to belive she's living her dream. Hifumi is actually living his dream.

There's a potential for a really interesting arc there, where Celeste descends further into self-delusion while Hifumi pulls himself out of it and begins to see his classmates as people and not characters.

Sorry this got long I love to ramble about DR and will do so at the slightest provocation.

My 2025 Gaming Goals:

Fighting against my backlog of games is the fact I bought a PSP recently. While the goal was to play through a bunch of games, I think this year will be paired with buying a bunch so I have things for my PSP. That being said I'm trying to force myself into two challenges.

By far, the greatest amount of games I have to play are for Sonic (9-10) and Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons (13-16). For each of them, I've tried to set up a challenge of how many I have to play to buy some bigger games on the list. There's kinda like 3 stages; one that's just a bullshit 1 game requirement, one that a few games, and then close to or the full list of games to buy the grand prize game. For Sonic; Shadow the Hedgehog is currently the bullshit 1 game req due to some copies being accessible rn when it's probs on the verge of jumping in price, midway is Rivals 2, Rush Adventure, and Zero Gravity as they're usually pretty midrange price($20-35), and then the grand prize is Sonic Shuffle which usually hits $70. Not a particularly liked game and I have a bunk copy of it but it's more for the beauty of the style it has. As for HM; low entry is Boy & Girl mostly because there's a cheap cheap copy I might win the bid on, midrange will be Story of Seasons due to its availability for new still, and the really grand prize for all of this is Hero of Leaf Valley which also tends to be $70 for a copy. Like I said I really want games for my PSP so I'm hoping it can motivate me. However I'm not that type of masochist and I'm making it a 10 game entry because up to 16 Harvest Moon games might kill me on top of all the other life stuff I have going on. Either way, the hope is to help curb spending on games by blocking impulsive spending (hah, we'll see if that works).

Overall though, here's my game hunts for 2025:

Sonic Rush Adventure

Sonic Rivals 2

Harvest Moon Hero of Leaf Valley

Story of Seasons

Shadow the Hedgehog

Sonic Lost World

Sonic Riders Zero Gravity

Sonic Shuffle

Wii Party

Zelda 3ds Remakes

Sega Dreamcast Collection

ZombiU

Amiibo Festival

The Sonic Olympic Series

Sims 1 expansions

For PSP Specifically:

Sims 2 Pets

Sims 2 Castaway

Kingdom Hearts 365/2

Innocent Life

Little Big Planet

A handful of Japanese VNs

That one weird warioware knockoff

And the 2024 carry over:

Just Dance Kinect Series (2014-2019)

Nicola Series

Endless Ocean 1+2

Another Code R

Pokemon Dash

Ultra Sun (easy mode)

Fire Red/Leaf Green at a good price (impossible)

Black/BW2 at a decent price (impossible)

HM Magical Melody Wii

Wii Play Motion

World ends with you

Wii U twilight princess

DuckTales wiiu

Finally for what I actually think I'll actually want to buy in 2025 from the above:

Little Big Planet

Sims 2 Pets

Sims 2 Castaway

Innocent Life

Hero of Leaf Valley

Story of Season

Sonic Rivals 2

Sonic Lost World

Shadow the Hedgehog

Sonic Riders Zero Gravity

Dreamcast Collection

Amiibo Festival

ZombiU

Whatever unintentional finds of Sims, Just Dance or Pokemon Sun might be made.

I really want to utilize my PSP next year to which admittedly I'm a little embarrassed how little of games I want to play on it. Games like Rivals 2 and LBP only made it out of a need for cartoony games.

Anyway that's my ramble into the void. I feel I've thought more about gaming than actually gaming.

See cause now I'm depressed AND pissed off

To Love an Eel Tamer

Alright, second Mediaverse bonus! Obligatory warning for all those Shivrye, Penper, and Papercut shippers; This fanfic features a fan ship that I have a gut feeling will definitely piss you off. If any of you go up to me on this site opposing to this in any way, I WILL draw Frye and Paper kissing to scare you away. I know I'm not a very talented artist, but that doesn't mean I'll ignore the amount of power I have.

All jokes aside, I hope you like this!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After Act 1 of TOOTM (The Objective of The Mission), Shiver and Frye formally introduced themselves to Paper and Scissors. While Shiver and Scissors were busy with a quarrel of their own, Frye was poking around at Paper's different inventions in his room, while Paper himself was trying to figure out a way to approach the girl.

“These things look super cool!” Frye holds an invention up in her hands and it explodes shortly after. “Hm. Too bad they keep exploding.”

Paper paid no mind to Frye screwing around in his room, as he was lost in his own thoughts about the situation. “Okay, Paper, a weird..squid alien…is she an alien? Whatever. This woman is in your room right now. Before you mindlessly fall in love, think about what she could be plotting against you. She came from another world for crying out loud! And to top it off, she’s a bandit! She could steal your money, your friends, your….your brain…Okay before all of this, find out if she’s an alien.”

Frye continued to dig around Paper’s things and found a box that was labeled ‘box of failures’.  

“Hey!!”, she calls for his attention, breaking his train of thought. “What’s this box of junk for?”

Paper immediately turns to Frye in shock of her sudden call and spots the box. “...Oh, that's just a box of junk from my…failed..inventions, but trust me, most of them are guaranteed to work-”, he says right after yet another invention explodes behind him. “...I didn't even touch that one!”

Frye looked skeptical, but not from the exploding invention. “Uh huh…So, you just hoard all of this junk and not do something with it?”

“...what?”

She continued to dig through the box. “Think about it, man. You keep this box that's LITERALLY named ‘box of failures’. If you don't do anything with it, it's super pointless, and it'll remind you of your past screw-ups! Do you actually WANT to be reminded about how much you failed!?” 

Paper looked slightly offended by Frye's words. “Well…I don't, but…what you said can be true…but they failed anyway, what's the point of going back to it?”

An annoyed expression was on Frye's face. “Yeesh. I know you're an inventor, but you're missing A LOT of things about being one.”

Paper instantly looked fed up, not believing that he almost fell for this girl. He began to think to himself; “...Geez, Paper, you should've saw this coming when you first saw her. She's just a carbon copy of Scissors..”

Frye continued to ramble. “I mean, look at all this! So much potential from ideas that your brain forged, and you decide to just give up on them the second they fail? That's nonsense! I mean, if you don't want to bring these inventions back to life, at least try to mesh them up into one ultra-mega-big invention!” 

Frye began to dig through the box and grabbed some tools to build the ultra invention she was talking about.

While Frye built something with the junk, Paper turned around to see what she was doing. “Wha-...What are you doing??”

Frye scoffed playfully. “Pfft. What you shoulda been doing.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After a few minutes, Frye was finally finished with building and eager to show Paper what he she did, and what he should've done this whole time. 

Paper was shocked and couldn’t believe what he was seeing. “...So…what is this supposed to be…?”

Frye smirked. “What do you think it is~?”

The two were looking at a gigantic, menacing, evil-looking robot. Frye jumped up and down in an excited manner. “Look! Look! I built a robot that dispenses food, has speaker-shoulders so you can listen to music, a teleporter that can teleport anything a 100 feet away…and has a formula for no-smear makeup!!”

Paper was absolutely speechless. “..I-”

“And, you, Mr. Smart Guy, get to see what it does so you don’t think I'm bluffing.”, Frye chimed in as she pushed a button on the robot.

The robot did everything Frye had designed it to do, such as dispensing food like ice cream and cheeseburgers, blasts loud music from its speaker-shoulders, teleports a wrench to who knows where in 100 feet, and puts makeup on the both of them and splashes water on their faces to show how it doesn’t smear. It even wipes them off after it was done. What a nice robot!

Paper was still shocked. “...And, you built that?”

“Yeah!! Now, do you see what I was talking about?”, Frye said, still very excited about what she made.

Paper stared at her. “But if you built that…and now that I think about it, you were saying really wise stuff earlier…that can only mean…” His eyes sparkled while he looked at her. “...You’re super smart…”

It seemed like Paper’s perspective on Frye changed rather quickly. He went from loving her, to somewhat disliking her, to loving her again. He’d wonder how long this pattern would repeat if he wasn’t so attracted to her smarts at the moment…and her beauty again.

Frye however, was oblivious to his gaze on her. “So…now that you showed me your thing, why don’t I show you mine?”

Paper continued to give her a lovestruck gaze. “...Run away with me.”

“What?”

“Huh?”

“N-no, what did you say? Something about running away with geese? I couldn’t really hear you.”, Frye said, looking skeptical of Paper yet again.

“Well…I didn’t exactly….It wasn’t…uh…” Paper stammers while trying to compose himself and distract Frye from what he said. “You were saying that you had another thing..?” 

Luckily, Frye was distracted from him saying she was gonna tell him about her thing. “Oh, yeah!!” She grabs him and rushes outside. “Come on! Come on! We gotta be outside for me to show you!”

Paper was shocked once Frye pulled him with her. He thought to himself again; “A case of hidden smarts, I see…”, but that didn’t change what he thought about her overall.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Okay, you ready for this? You better be!” Frye flips onto a car outside and plays a short tune on a wooden flute.

…

“...So, is flute-playing your thing?”, Paper asked, confused as to why Frye brought them outside just to play a flute. 

Frye shushed him again. “Give it time..”

Cut to the portal where Deep Cut came from. A swarm of moray eels fly out of the portal, causing destruction in their path.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It did take the eels quite a while to get to Frye and Paper, however.

Frye seemed to get irritated. “Come on, come ON! What’s the hold up?”

Paper still seemed confused. “I’m sorry, what are we waiting for, again?”

Suddenly, the eels swarm towards Frye and create a tornado, which she’s seen on top of. “YES, YES, YES! About time!”

Once again, Paper was shocked. He couldn’t believe that what looked like hundreds of eels just swarmed over to his supposed dream girl, and she’s taming them like it’s nothing! “...HOW ARE YOU DOING THIS!?”

“See, see? This is my thing! You like it? It’s amazing, isn’t it?”, Frye says while laughing away and spinning on the tornado of eels. “Wheee!! Wheee!!”

While Paper saw all of this, his brain screamed at him; “You are in love with a MANIAC!! This woman is insane!”

While Frye cackled and tamed the eels with ease, the eels suddenly left since something seemingly caught their attention, leaving her to fall right onto Paper.

“OW!! ….Hey, where are those eels off to!?” She noticed that she fell directly on Paper. “Oh. Sorry about that. Guess you lightened the fall, eh?”

“....owww…..”

Frye also notices that she landed right on her flute as well, and it broke on impact. “Huh? NO!! I didn’t just.. This can’t be!!”

Frye gets up and helps Paper up too. “Listen, we’re like friends now, right? You gotta help me get a new flute so I can get those pesky eels back!”

Paper just stared at her. From the looks of it, this girl was insane to him and the best option is to get away from her, but he couldn’t help but just look at her and have these mixed feelings of love, fear, and curiosity. Pencil is a great girl too, but Frye was entirely different. He never expected to fall in love with someone like her.

Frye gets irritated again and shakes Paper around a bit. “Hello!? Anybody home? I’m talking to you!”

He stopped Frye from shaking him. “Okay. Okay, I'm hearing you!” He thought for a minute. “...but…what if I build you a new flute and it can work just as well as your old one!” 

“....okay, cool.”

With that, the two went inside and Paper got to building. This felt so exciting to him; he was gonna show Frye his true capabilities of being an inventor…and maybe she’ll be impressed enough to be his girlfriend! Or not…those mixed emotions were still there..

He handed the finished product to Frye…and it exploded before she could even finish the taming melody on it.

“....Yeah, let’s just buy a new one.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The two were walking down the street to the nearest music store in hopes of finding a flute.

Paper guided Frye to the music store. “Okay, we go to the music store, you get a new flute, you get the eels back and send them back where they came from, right?”

Frye angrily searches for her eels but still listens. “Right. I swear, those eels are gonna get such a scolding when I-” Suddenly, she gets distracted by seeing a skatepark. “Cool! A skatepark!!” She drags Paper with her.

Paper yelped as Frye dragged him. “W-weren’t you just angry a second ago?”

“C’mon, we can’t just be outside without having some fun!” Frye grabbed a nearby skateboard…well, stole one, and prepared to ride it. “Besides, didn’t you ever skateboard before? This could be a first-time experience for ya!”

Paper huffed. “In fact, I have experience riding a skateboard before, now can we please get a flute so-”

“Really!?” Frye’s eyes lit up in anticipation as she shoved the skateboard into Paper’s hands. “Why don’t you show me?”

“Uh…I don’t really think we have time to…you know…do this..”, Paper said, obviously having lied about his ‘past experience’ skateboarding.

Frye continued to encourage him, still believing he could skateboard. “Aw, come on! I’m sure it’ll be super awesome!”

Paper began to sweat and position himself on the skateboard. “Okay….here it goes ….about to skateboard…”  He knew there’s no backing down now. Frye and multiple people at the skatepark were watching him…but at least this was considered a chance to impress Frye since she seemed excited about watching him skateboard. “...One…Two-” While preparing himself, Paper slipped down a slope on accident, and to make a long story short, he got pretty banged up while slipping, sliding, and crashing around the park.

“Haha! Wicked wipeout, man!”, Frye teased.

Paper lies there on the ground in serious pain. “...I knew doing this was a mistake…”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After Paper got patched up, he and Frye got back to their original objective. 

Paper sighed, hoping that he won’t have to put himself into a situation like that today. “Okay, no more distractions. Just going to the music store and buying a new flute, got it?”

“Hm. Alright. I really gotta find those eels anyway.”, Frye huffed. She looked over at Paper again. “Hey…are you alright from crashing all over the place?”

“Oh… Yeah, I'm okay…” Paper looked away from Frye for a second. “Listen, why don’t we-”

Frye pointed out something once again. “No way! You got a candy buffet here!?”

“Hm?” Paper turned his attention to the candy buffet. “I…actually never noticed that here-”

“Well, notice it now, and come inside with me!!” Frye drags him inside the restaurant.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

While the two were inside, Frye was eating what seemed like a truckload of sweets, while Paper was eating a simple cake slice. 

“Uh… are you sure you’re gonna be.. Okay after you eat all of that?” Paper said, concerned about how Frye would feel after eating so much sugar. 

Frye laughed. “Psh. I’ll be fine! I ate a ton of sweets like this before, it’s what gets me goin’! Sometimes I wish I knew someone who could eat as much sugar as I can. Imagine the insane eating contests we’d get into.”

Paper listened. Perhaps this was another chance to impress Frye. It was a very stupid idea to do this but, hey, he’s taking the chances he gets. 

“Well, Frye, consider yourself to be looking at that very person.” Paper knew he’d regret this the same way he regretted lying about being good at skateboarding. 

Frye gasped happily. “Really? Well, I don’t wanna get into a contest right now…”

For a moment, Paper sighed in relief. “I'm safe…”

“...But just for confirmation…” She dumps half of her sweets pile onto his plate. “Can you show me how much you can eat?”

Paper sweated in fear but still smiled nervously. “Uh… yeah… alright…” 

His brain yelled at him again; “Why do you keep lying!?

Once again, to make a long story short, Paper felt sick like any normal person after eating that much sugar.

“uuuuhhggg…..”

Frye saw him lie on the table in numbness and abdominal pain. “Aw. Guess your stomach wasn’t up to the task today.” She got up and (literally) dragged Paper out of the restaurant. “Welp, there’s no use lying around now! We still got some eels to catch, and I'm hyped up now!”

Paper groaned again. “So NOW you wanna find them….”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The two were on the walk again, and luckily, Paper began to feel a bit better.

He grumbled in annoyance. “That’s it. No more stopping for anything. We NEED to focus on what we’re doing!”

Frye listened carefully. “You’re right! I know i got distracted, but I promise that I got my head in the game. We’re finding those eels right now!”

Paper looked at Frye and thought about the things that happened to him today. How can someone so smart act so airheaded and get distracted so easily? He couldn’t really comprehend that factor about her. “That’s fine…” he sighed and looked away from her. “Let’s just really focus and-”

Frye gasped loudly when something else caught her attention.

Paper quickly turned to Frye again. “What? What happened?” 

“Is that…..a CARNIVAL!?” Frye eagerly pointed at a carnival nearby.

Paper knew that Frye would get distracted again. “Oh, lord…”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The two found themselves roaming around the carnival, Frye being excited about it, wanting to do about everything here, and Paper just wanting to do what he and Frye came to do in the first place. 

Frye happily bounced around. “So whaddya wanna do first? Ride a ride? Play some games? Get some food?”

Paper grumbled. “Whatever gets done quicker so your eels don’t destroy anything before you get them back..”

Frye frowned. “Aw, you’ve been acting a little boring today….I can understand why you’re like this..”

“Oh, yeah? Why am I acting like this?”, Paper replied somewhat sarcastically. 

“You’re super used to people acting the way I do, I can tell. Not being too pushy, but I already told you I’m not from here! I just wanna see what this place has to offer.” Frye smiled again. “I just wanna have a little fun, y’know? I’m sure you felt the same way, but if you wanna get this over with, can we do at least one thing here?”

After Frye spoke, Paper softened up a bit. Frye only wanted to experience a new world and look for a bit of fun, despite doing that at a bit of an inappropriate time, but he was just stopping her in some cases…Wait…

At that moment, Paper’s eyes widened. He finally realized WHY he fell in love with Frye. She was just acting like…herself!  She’s smart, mischievous, peppy, stubborn…all those traits and more bundled up inside of her. He finally came to terms on why he had these feelings of love, but…he wasn’t used to falling in love with someone like this.

Frye was waiting for him to speak up until she saw her eels riding the ferris wheel. “....WHAT!?!? HEY!!” Frye growled at the eels. 

Paper broke out of his thoughts after he heard Frye’s growl. “Huh??” He turned to where the eels were. “They were HERE this whole time!?”

‘Those darn EELS!!!” Frye hissed, but then turned to a street performer who just so happens to be playing a flute! “A-ha!”

Frye went to the street performer and took their flute.

“Hey!”

“I’ll give it back!”

Frye played the taming melody on the flute and the eels immediately rushed to her side.

Paper watched the whole thing unfold. “Well, I didn't expect everything to be resolved like this.”

Frye angrily scolded the eels. “So THIS is where you’ve been!? I can’t believe you’d disobey me like this and run off! You could’ve wrecked EVERYTHING!!”

While Frye scolded the eels, Paper began to feel a bit of sympathy for them. “Wait, Frye.. Maybe they had the same idea you had. Maybe they only wanted to experience a new world, too!”

“Hm… Is that really what you guys wanted?” Frye turned back to the eels, and they nodded in confirmation. “Aww… you guys just wanted to have fun, too!! …You can stay with us, but you better not leave without my permission!” 

Paper stood there and watched. A part of him just wanted to blurt out his true feelings to Frye right here and now, but the other part was too nervous to do so.

Frye suddenly wrapped a friendly arm around him. “So, all’s well that ends well, right? Things turned out just fine! And…sorry for getting sidetracked earlier. I know you musta felt pissed.”

Paper looked at Frye and smiled. “You don’t have to apologize for anything. Just getting to know you and doing things with you today has been really fun!” He frowned a bit. “But… I’m sorry for trying to prevent you from having fun here.”

Frye looked shocked. “You? Prevent me from having fun? Don’t be silly!” She hugged him a bit. “Today has been AWESOME! Creating a giant robot, hanging out at a skatepark, and now we’re at a carnival! This has all been amazing!”

…Paper smiled widely and leaned into the hug, feeling happy and…safe in Frye’s arms.

Frye only saw it as something weird. “Aaaand, this hug feels awkward now.”

Paper snapped out of it and quickly pulled away from the hug. “Uhm…s-sorry about that… What do you say we spend the rest of the day here? Neither of us have anything to do now, and I kinda want to spend a little bit more time with you.”

Frye smiled and hopped a bit. “I thought you’d never say that!” What was she excited about specifically? The carnival. She was happy she got to stay at the carnival a little bit longer.

She giggled and walked around the carnival with Paper. “This is great! We can go on rides and stuff… and do other things too! Look at us! Frye and Paper: a duo of awesome friends waiting to get into all sorts of adventures!”

Paper smiles at Frye’s enthusiasm “Yeah.. I’m sure we’ll have lots of fun.”

Thanks for reading! A little progress update on the actual series, "One Job At A Time" featuring the Squid Sisters, Captain 3, and the Warioware gang is up next! This, "Expectations", and "Shiv vs The Siz" will be up on AO3 soon, so be on the lookout for that!

And with that, I finally got some of my little crack ship off my chest. :)

I'm going to ramble more about the Barbie movie. This post also contains spoilers for the film btw.

One of the first things my partner asked me as we walked out of the cinema was "did you find representation in the film?" And, perhaps somewhat strangely for someone who was brought up as a male and believed themselves to be a man for most of their life, I actually found more representation in the Barbie movie than I have ever really seen anywhere.

First of all, I identified with Gloria about being a parent and having a shitty job where no-one actually listens to you. I also identified with Sasha about being a teenager who have come to be ultra-critical and embarrassed about their old interests. I identified with Weird Barbie about being ostracized as weird but still wanting to help people. I could identify with Gosling's Ken's desire to come across as hypermasculine (while not pulling it off right) and having trouble forming any kind of meaningful relationships with other Kens.

But most of all I identified with Allan. He's Ken's pal and all Ken's clothes fit him, but he is not a Ken. When Ken forms the Kendom, Allan doesn't participate in it. Quite the opposite, he tried to flee to the real world. When that proves not to be an option, he immediately sides with the Barbies. There is no discussion about it, there is no grand scene where Allan says he refuses the Kens' bullshit, it just happens. No-one questions it, no-one comments positively on it. Because while he looks like a Ken, Allan is not a Ken.

I found more representation about my gender identity and my place in the world in a movie about fucking plastic girl's toys than I have seen in probably any mainstream film ever.

being hyperfixiated on ultra despair girls of all danganronpa games is so frustrating because on the one hand, komaru and toko are incredibly well-written as a buddy duo and as a story revolving around them, their relationship, and their involvement in the events unfolding around them, it's pretty damn strong!

on the other hand... okay i know it's an easy target to go after ch3 and everything regarding kotoko, but there's so much else established in UDG's story that either never gets expanded upon, ultimately falls flat or never goes anywhere, or gets tossed aside as quickly as they're introduced. and then there's the ending and credits cgs which really feel like they're building up to something but then that also never goes anywhere beyond capping off monaca's story in DR3.

UDG is a 'full' experience as a game (well, at least for psvita standards), and as a tokomaru story it's pretty complete, but god it just feels like there could've been so much more, you know?

Hello Hello ~

I'm really not sure how to phrase this, so sorry for rambling. Why exactly do you think you should change pokemon the way you do? Like, why should pokemon suffer from decreased survival instincts and shit? Why do you think gible or tyrunt or fucking glameow need to have changed behaviour in order to be loved and be kept as pets?

Don't get me wrong, i understand very well that people are stupid and afraid of things they don't need to be afraid of. People always give me a weird look with my poison types and TSA is a fucking pain in the ass and all that shit. But i have a perfectly normal, unaltered Scolipede who is a very gentle girl, and those are also usually considered scary and they are predators in the wild.

I guess you've been doing that for years, so this is probably fruitless, but i hope you come to your senses and stop this "ultra domesticated" nonsense

- @koffing-time

//ooc: i find this stuff you're doing super cool (well, from a story perspective), and I'm very interested where this is going. So, uh, please don't stop???

Uhh- No?
