just for the record, the Lilith myth undermines so much of Christian theology as to be on par with Dan Brown's myth of Jesus being married to Mary Magdalene. No Christian is obligated to 'respect' it or regard it as anything but cheap, no matter how Jewish or medieval it is.

the d.p. ost is literally the best thing to happen to me in the past two years i wish i was kidding nothing comes close nothing hits the way every song on it does when i get to the end of the ost of pt. 2 and hear jung hae-in's ending monologue voice over i want to jump off a cliff because i am simply feeling too many emotions at once. the way every song, especially crazy, is about jun-ho. the show constantly using tell a lie and higher in its acoustic version in high octane scenes to remind you how fucking sad it all is. chaser as the credits roll bc that's song of all time. s2 having hedwig songs that make me want to cry. i can go on and on. and i will, watch this space.

this is not an organized thought bc my recent rewatch has not been linear by any stretch but the rounding off of radar’s edges and contradictions is simultaneously interesting and frustrating of like. early seasons radar being simultaneously a bit of a pervert and a bit of a prude, sneaky and sarcastic and happy to trick and mock henry at every turn while also earnestly sleeping with a teddy bear that he tucks into his bed when he makes it in the morning and gets Anxious and begs hawkeye for help when it gets stolen. going from a guy that stole henry’s whiskey and cigar and snarked back at the general who caught him at it. to like, being naive and painfully innocent and nervy at the idea of smoking and having an episode dedicated to Hawkeye and BJ trying to steer him away from getting a tattoo bc they think he’s too young to make the decision for it. like there are doyalist aspects to this change obviously but trying to look at it In Text is like,,, is this something radar does deliberately? is he playing it up for other people? regressing on purpose in an internal response to the trauma of the war? what’s going on in his head ????

I feel like my dear mutuals on here don't get the full nile insanity package bc I don't talk much about my beloved idol franchises over here

[dems-demi]

OH MY GOD I FORGOT ABOUT THAT ONE! I had headcanons about some Aphrodite (and other cabins’) kids having a crush on that sunchild but dam did i just forgot that the most attractive gal in camp actually found Will hot too via TSATS 😭😭

Percy may be that guy, but he aint the main camp crushie (cuz he [percy] ain’t always in camp anyways) lmao.

Why is it that when people try to justify how Will's attractive they always leave out what I view to be the key proof that he's attractive AKA Piper finding him attractive. Like Piper Wasn't even impressed by THE PERCY JACKSON. So if she's calling Will hot you know that face card is lethal.

One thing I wish was understood a bit better about Twisted Wonderland.

Everyone in this game has trauma or personal struggles and it's NOT a competition of who has it worse. Honestly, sometimes I wish everyone's traumas were discussed more in depth in the game like we get with each person who Overblots, but we don't have time for it. With the Overblot boys, their trauma is shoved directly into the spotlight and we hear exactly how their situations make them feel. But the rest of the cast, ALL of them, have personal struggles and/or trauma. This is just a small list of some of the issues each non Overblot student has.

Ace masks the fear he feels in a lot of situations, and he's got an inferiority complex on some level. Notice how he bullied the player and Grim in our first interaction? That is a sign of someone who is looking to feel better by pushing someone else down because they don't feel good about themselves.

Deuce grew up with a single mother who had to work multiple jobs to make ends meet, which causes him to worry about her, and he was a delinquent in middle school, which made his mom, the one person he worries over, cry. He lives with those regrets, but he's still got those old habits and he agonizes over the fact he's not academically where he'd like to be and his behavior regresses when in heated situations.

Trey has severe trauma at being screamed at for FIVE HOURS over giving Riddle ONE slice of tart, so much that his vitals are severely affected at the thought of Mrs. Rosehearts and he's heavily conflict avoidant.

Cater has had to move all the time and as a defense mechanism, refuses to be honest or get close to people because he doesn't want to get attached only to be ripped away from them.

Ruggie lives in EXTREME poverty when not at school. He struggles to make ends meet and he has to work so hard in a system that is DESIGNED to keep him in poverty, because many beastmen still prefer segregation in the Sunset Savannah.

Jack has one of the healthier mindsets, but he still struggles with being open and honest about his feelings, which makes it hard to have friends, and he struggled with watching Leona, someone he's idolized, fall short of what he believed of Leona.

Jade and Floyd are implied to have grown up in some form of crime family and both seem to have handled the fact their lives could be in constant danger differently. Both like things being interesting, but Jade seems to prefer seclusion and control, while Floyd enjoys scaring people off and having as much fun as he can before he goes.

Kalim is someone who has had multiple assassination attempts on his life, even from his own family. He masks behind a smile, but he's afraid to trust people, and when he DOES TRY to talk about it, it gets brushed off because he has money. Also, he has to deal with the fact Jamil has been undermining his ability to progress by not treating him as if he's capable at all.

Epel has been teased and bullied on how he looked to the point where he started instigating fights to ensure he wouldn't be teased. He also has to fall in line with what Vil wants because he made the error of picking a fight with Vil and getting his butt HANDED to him. To further add, Vil is NOT NICE about it when Epel resists, with one example being Vil grabbing him by the ear and pulling hard as a form of punishment.

Rook has deal with the fact that for being someone who is super perceptive and can notice details, he didn't realize Vil's feelings around Neige, likely because he was blinded by his own admiration for both of them and that's a bitter pill to swallow.

Ortho has to deal with being basically created as a replacement for dead Ortho Shroud, trying to figure out if he's just really a robot made by Idia with really good AI or more than that, and dealing with the fact he loves his brother so much, but his brother doesn't take care of himself and it's disheartening to watch Idia's self-destruction.

Lilia has so much war trauma, losing his loved ones, having been exiled, and so much other crap. Even so, he forced himself to put the war and his trauma about it in the past, where it belonged for the sake of his two sons who both lost so much to war, which is something Baur/Baul could NOT do which was to Sebek's detriment.

Silver has had to live with the idea that his adoptive father would likely outlive him, then is faced with the fact that his father is basically abandoning everything about their life in Briar Valley before he learns that his biological parents were the enemies of the person he serves and cares about, Malleus, and the only father he's ever known.

Sebek has grown up with internalized racism/speciesism against humans thanks to his upbringing and he basically rejects half of his heritage with how he treats his father. He does not even realize how hurtful his comments are until he's faced with those remarks being directed at him by a younger version of his grandfather.

And this isn't everything each student has to face. This is just broad strokes. Yana Toboso wrote a story about flawed people who all have gone through really hard and difficult things because that's the point. As Toboso said in a 2023 interview:

“Happy endings in Disney works come from righteous actions and love, but I believe that the villains are characters who do not get saved during the story. That is why, through this game, I want to portray the message that even if you get beat up all the way to a bad ending, you can grow from it and live your life without feeling discouraged.

Acting lame, obstinate, without hesitation, being open and honest—it’s not as bad as it sounds. 

I would like to paint a positive picture of living honestly with yourself and not worrying about others.

In today’s society there are so many people who live in fear of failure and are always walking on eggshells, but nobody’s flawless. It is exhausting to try to live your life so that no one will hate you.”

Everyone, even people you don't know or do not like, have gone through things that shaped who they are. Sometimes, how we've adapted to handle the bad things that happen will force us to hit rock bottom. But you don't have to die when you hit rock bottom.

You can have terrible things happen to you and have maladaptive strategies to handle your experiences, but you aren't stuck that way forever. You can learn how to change your habits, learn to be okay with yourself, and work at being better than you were the day before.

Human growth is not linear. It's a bunch of taking steps forward and backsliding and learning and making mistakes over and over again and accepting failure, not as a testament to your character, but as part of the process of growth... and that's something all the students have to learn, not just the Overblot boys. Because all of them, every single one, are handling their own personal issues, even if it isn't shoved right in our faces.

“What… what seems to be the problem?“ // for vital from koda

Blade Runner   {Sentence Starters}

❝ Tch! A motherfucker took my drink. ❞

A pretty face didn't mean he was exempt from having an atrociously dirty mouth. A small inconvenience to some could ruin someone's day, but perhaps Vital was the sort who could let anything ruin his day. A visit from the FBI, or in this case a stolen hazelnut hot cocoa and the line far too long and the baristas too busy to notice, nor was Vital willing to kill even more time just to fall back into line and attempt to get a replacement.

It wasn't about the money. Hell, it wasn't even about the drink itself in the end. It was about how he needed something to help him keep his hands warm - and the urge to find a punchable face.

❝ I could seriously cave in someone's face today, that's really the last straw... ❞
