Caesar Route Chapter 7 (11-15)

Last time on the Caesar Route, Caesar got stabbed on the Ides of March.

Also the big un-foreshadowed twist was brought to you by a dirty liar! Also Viggo is here for some reason.

Caesar is way too calm about this. Maybe Viggo is just a DnD barbarian then.

Oh my god I totally forgot he got stabbed.

So Mischa the doomsday cat shows up after being gone for a million years and shows Liz and Caesar to a hiding place in a shack. Caesar passes out and Liz casts a healing spell on him. Mischa then brings up how villainous Caesar apparently is, which I have no comment on because I fucking forgot what she’s talking about. She points out that Liz must be in love with him because why else would she show basic human decency, yada yada yada.

Huh. Not the kind of line you’d expect from a dating sim like this.

Liz tells Mischa that she can’t trust Caesar because of all the lies he’s said, which is a smart decision. Mischa tells her that the only way to proceed now is to basically real life block him.

What a smart decision! I’m sure we’ll definitely follow it.

.....Right?

YOU REALLY SHOULD. But the only choice that moves that stupid fucking love meter is the dumbass one.

Girl this is literally one of the stupidest decision you’ve made on this app. And that’s really fucking saying something! Mischa is literally out here telling you that you need to block his ass, but you literally won’t just because the plot says so. Fuck this plot. I know I said that I don’t really believe the twist because of the bad writing, but with Solmare, you can really only take their writing at face value.

Nobody speaks for what has got to be several awkward hours until Caesar wakes up. He’s surprised Liz is still here.

Now is literally not the time. 

And Liz agrees, because she gets pissed off about all his lies. Nobody gives a straight answer for at least eleven clicks until Caesar reveals he became a prefect by cheating with Zett’s help. Then he is about to reveal something that is probably along the lines of “I need the Star Sapphire to break my stupid ass otome pig curse” but the chapter cuts off before we get a straight answer.

Wasn’t there some plot thread about the end of the world 5 chapters ago?

Queued for: May 2

Happy Wednesday fandom :) I love this episode. The aftermath of 5x01. I remember being so very excited every week cause I knew this was their season. I was so giddy for every era we were getting. This ep started the hurts so good/pining era. Nothing better than having your ship on the cusp and getting excited every ep to see what comes next. Return of Genny in this one yay missed her. Imma need more in s6. Looking at you writers.

5x02 Labor Day

We start the ep with a guilt ridden Lucy bringing Chris home to her apt. We all know at this point that’s the reason they’re still together. She nearly cheated on the man for loophole sex with her best friend. Not only that but almost partook while he was dying in the process. Still glad it didn’t go down that way but guilt is the main factor here IMO. Lucy is getting him settled in when there a knock at the door. Love how this detective comes up and doesn’t even care she’s interrupted them.

Legend already haha Says her name is Detective Misha Porter. She teaches at the UC school In Sacramento. Lucy looks star struck saying she knows who she is. Mischa said she’s been doing recruiting and her name keeps coming up. Of course it does Lucy is amazing. Saying she’s worked several impressive OPs. That makes for an ideal candidate. That she is here to recruit her.

Lucy looks guilt ridden once again as she looks at stupid Chris. Just holding her back in so many ways it’s painful. She asks when classes start? Porter tells her next Monday. Saying it’s short notice but they had someone fall out. She’s sure her sergeant would approve it. Lucy lights up for first time at the mention of Tim. Knowing he would. He would do ANYTHING for her career. Something we will see of more at the end of this ep.

Lucy continues to hesitate. Porter sees this and says her classes will open up a ton of doors for her. Lucy tells her she knows. That Detective Harper has told her all about it. She hands her the folder. Saying every unit will want to poach her from patrol after this. Lucy tells her she will think about it…Oh my girl he is not worth giving up UC for. That guilt truly dominating all her decisions.

She returns to Chris and even he tells her to go for it. We see the stress and continued weight of what happened control her. Saying no it can wait. It’s almost like she needs someone else to push her in that direction...Also that someone else is the real reason she doesn’t want to leave. *cough Tim cough*

We see Tim pull up to meet Genny. What is it about him driving that big truck that is so sexy? Mmm. Also in civies. Yum take me now sir. Haha Love that smile of his when he looks at the house. Thank you to your wife for having you do this. It sounds like Genny is having an argument on the phone. Tim asks if she’s ok? She sweeps it under the rug like a classic Bradford.

She just needed his signature on some stuff before the open house. Tim looks so excited this is done and they can finally move on. Genny looks extra sad about it. Seems like it's more than just the house. Tim picks up on this and tells her not to get sad over this house LOL She should be excited they’re gonna get half a mill each for this place. He then is sweet and tells her to call him if she needs anything. Such a good brother ❤️

We return to Lucy at home with Chris. He’s going over her packet saying she has to go. I will give him this and ONLY this. He isn’t trying to keep her from UC school. Now he is trying to do the thing only Tim can. Which is talk her down and have her see some reason. Not gonna happen with you clown. You are not the one for that job. Lucy saying this is where she wants to be. It’s not though…

Lucy is still so angry as she talks about Rosalind. As she should be that’s some serious PTSD for her. Once again not the guy to help her through this anxiety. The guilt is eating away at her and nothing Chris can say will help. Because he is part of that guilt. She almost cheated on him while Rosalind got to him. That’s what’s really eating at her.

Another reason I’m glad it didn’t happened. Would’ve tainted their time together. That would’ve been a painful hill to get over. So no thank you. I’ll be forever grateful it unfolded the way that it did. She is putting off UC for one reason she can’t tell Chris about. Would only add to never ending weight on her soul currently. I wanna hug her.

Oh how I love this scene with Angela. First off I adore him giving her half his burrito ha besties. Second she truly is a cheerleader for Chenford. Also for Tim’s happiness. She just wants to see her grump of a friend be happy. Angela knows that answer is Lucy. It’s been her forever. So she does a little poking around in this scene. Fishing to see what answers she can get. Starting off asking Tim the question that’s been on her mind since Vegas. Even more so since Chris got attacked.

‘How’s Lucy?’ We all know this question isn’t as innocent as it appears. Because well Lopez. He’s out of his damn mind if thinks she gonna let any of this go. I adore this friendship so very much. We notice how Tim likes to surround himself with strong women. His bestie is one of them. His wife another. Only ones he allows to talk to him this way. Heh. I love it. The teasing she does early on in this season is amazing. We were all rooting for her doing this.

Calling him out trying to get him to face his feelings. Do something about them. Angela is as perceptive as they come. And they are as blatantly obvious as two humans could be. Even Nolan knows LOL Tim starts off with a standard answer. She’s shaken but taking time off with Chris. Angela doesn’t care about the Chris part. Asking why he was even there in the first place to find him? Her instigation makes me laugh so hard. Trying to get a real answer out of him. Tim deflecting as he attempts to hold it together for the moment. Just saying he was dropping her off after Vegas. Lies lies and more lies.

Angela’s face is everything. Her 'Mmm-hmm' Calling Tim on his BS answer with her facial expression alone. This is so funny. Tim catching onto what she is throwing down. Asking what she’s implying? When he’s knows EXACTLY what she’s implying. Because babe you almost did what she is suggesting here. You’re just upset cause you're getting caught in that suggestion. I love her throwing back ‘What do you think?’

She is trying so hard to get him to cop to what almost happened between them. Tim goes back to his platonic answer of ‘Just dropping her off. ’ Although his voice gets a little higher in pitch when he does,. Angela’s second ‘Mmm-hmm.’ Is everything. She isn’t buying what you’re selling Timothy. Not for one second. Angela Lopez is a QUEEN. I love her sfm. Man is lying to himself and she just wants him to realize that.

Poor Lucy is desperate for another opinion. So she seeks out her UC mentor. She is so cute when she says Harper is glowing haha I love her sfm. Lucy is asking everyone except the one person she knows would have her answer. So she is hitting up a very pregnant Harper LMAO Who is in no state of mind to be helping her out.

James basically ushers her out of the house. My girl. She needs advice so much and isn’t getting what she needs from those around her. Trying to find someone to validate her skipping for Chris. Thing is she isn’t going to find that. No one is going to validate this guilt of her's like she is seeking. Once again just wanna hug her.

We see Genny waiting in the parking garage for Tim. She called him earlier in the day about offers. Saying they had a developer who wanted over asking. But also a sweet family who wanted it for asking. Tim telling her to go with developer. Cause he doesn't care bout the house. So he makes a crack when she shows up about selling it to a sweet family for 100 bucks ha Such a brother things to do to her. Genny says no.... She has another reason for meeting up other than the house. It’s here we learn about why Genny has been stressed all day. Her and her husband are getting a divorce. Tim tells her how sorry he is. He has most definitely Been there.

Tim asks about the house and who they’re gonna sell it to? Asking if they’re gonna pick the happy family? Genny says no the highest bidder. That divorce isn’t cheap. HA That’ll it’ll soften the blow for her financially being a single mom now. Tim asks if her husband is moving out? She says no she wants to move. Here actually. Asking Tim if that’s ok? He lights up. If there’s anything he needs right now it's family. Especially with all the messy stuff with Lucy atm. It’s so sweet how excited he is. Also their hug is also very adorable. I just adore them so very much.

They nailed casting for his sister. They have an excellent sibling rapport. Good chemistry in that way. Also they do look like they could be related it’s unreal. I love the smile on Tim’s face as he hugs her. My heart. Family is so important to have around. Especially when you’re close to them. This is what Lucy wanted for him out of 4x08. Them to not be torn about their dad but be there for each other like this. Getting me all emotional cause what I have with my baby sister. You know he’s excited he will get to see his nephews more and such too. I love it.

We finally reach their first scene of the ep. It’s a doozy everyone. But such a good one. This is the stage I like to call it 'Hurts so good.' I will always take good productive angst. Well written angst. It’s the BS teenager angst I cannot stand. These people are in their thirties. They don’t got time for that crap. The secret child or breaking up for no reason other than just to make the miserable. Nothing makes me angrier than useless angst just for the sake of having it.

This right here is the good stuff. They did a damn fine job with their angst. It leads us right into that good pining era as well. There is a knock at Lucy’s door. It’s Tim looking mighty fine if you ask me. Says he’s checking in. Asks Chris how he’s feeling? He replies Lucy is taking care of him. The sweet almost sad look to his smile gets me.

Knowing first hand how caring she is. She cared for him long before he was ready for it. When he didn’t appreciate like he would now. This moment is their breakup before they even got together scene. Because that’s basically what it is. We all know Tim included why she’s really holding back from UC school. Her front is Chris. When really it’s Tim and everything they haven’t untangled from Vegas. They haven’t talked about it whatsoever. Tim is there to clear the air.

Lucy is a little bristly with him at the door. He doesn’t let it deter him. Asking her if he can talk to her? She says yes and follows him out into the hallway. Ahh this hallway where so much happened last time. The context and situation so much different this time around. Tim being straight with her right off the bat. Saying he hears she’s on the fence about UC school. She has been hunting down opinions all day long. The one she needs the most comes to her. I love this sfm. Kudos to the writers for setting up this scene so well. Lucy is shocked Chris called him.

Tim says yes it was unexpected..but he wanted him to talk to her. Interesting how Chris could know Tim would be the voice of reason for her. But can’t figure she’s in love with the man and vice versa. Lucy telling him it’s not the right time. Tim won’t stand for this answer. That she owes it to herself to go. Lucy has been the voice of reason for him many times. There to absolve him of his guilt when he blamed himself about Mitch and Caleb. She couldn’t stand him bearing a burden that wasn’t his.

The beautiful part of this heartbreaking scene is he is now doing the same for her. He came not only about UC school but for her guilt. The guilt she is wearing like armor at the moment. About Chris, about what almost happened between them while he was dying. Tim telling he’s going to be fine. That what happened to him ISN'T her fault. Telling Lucy what she used to tell him. Stop weighing your soul down with guilt that isn’t yours to carry.

Lucy brings up what they were about to do. ‘We were about to..’ The way she says that line there is some longing in there. How yes, she’s still with Chris and the guilt that exists with that. But her desire for what almost happened is still there. She doesn’t want to ignore what almost happened between them.

Tim following up with ‘But we didn’t. We didn’t.’ Gah some longing in his voice too. He too is sad they didn’t. The softness in his voice as he delivers that line. Gah it’s so good. Part of him still wishing they had. They had this awakening of their feelings mixed with UC. Then Chris almost dying throwing a nasty wrench in it all.

There is so much subtext behind the lines they’re saying to each other. Lucy then notes the thing she’s been clinging onto. Being his go-fer. Asking if he’s getting rid of her as it? The hurt in her voice *heart clutch* It's written all over her face. Last thing she wants is for Tim to push her away. It’s why she was avoiding UC school in first place. She doesn’t want to lose working with him if she can’t be with him. It’s the closest thing she has to that and now he’s proposing taking that away.

This feels like a breakup because well it is. Their work dynamic/relationship is a huge part of who they are. It’s how we got to this place we’re in. It’s a sacred thing to both of them. Tim is trying to ease her hurt with his reply. Telling her 'No…he’s just trying to look out for her.' The emotions in his voice as he says this. I wanna cry. They both have pre-tears in their eyes. Tim knows this is the right thing to do. Nothing and I mean nothing is more important to that man than protecting her career. Protecting her. Look how far he has come.

Was almost rabidly against her doing UC. Now he’s encouraging it because he knows it’s what best for her. Even if that means leaving him behind. Tim refuses to jeopardize her career in anyway. It’s why he fought her being his aide at first the way he did. Didn’t want anyone to question her or why she got to where she is. Didn’t want any hand in people thinking less of her when it wasn’t true. That even if it hurts them both he is going to look out for her first and foremost.

Lucy can't believe what she's hearing. It's all over her expression in that first gif above. The hits keep coming with this scene. Tim telling her it’s time to move on. When he’s really saying is about them. They had their shot and now it’s time to move on. That they have to accept it's not going to happen for them. Gah kills me as I’m writing this. Took the man years to realizes he was in love with her. Now that he does he can’t have her. So he’s willing to do the honorable thing. Step aside and put his feelings on back burner.

Set aside what he wants for what she needs. Because he knows Lucy. How selfless she is for those she loves. He refuses to let her give up her aspirations for him. Lucy is crushed with his retort of moving on. They’re both so vulnerable in this scene. It’s what makes it hurt so damn good. Props to Eric and Melissa once again. Conveying so much with their words, eyes, and expressions. We are truly lucky to have them as our ship.

Lucy does some double talk of her own. Saying some time away would be good. Really meaning she can’t be around him especially after him breaking this off. That if she can’t be with him better to be away from him. That this far too painful for her. For them both really. Tim trying to build up her saying what a great opportunity this will be. We know how hard this conversation is for him to have. But it shows the depth of growth in him to have it.

This is so very hard on him to give up. Lucy can’t even say more. Her heart is breaking in this moment. Her person is sending her away from him. All she can muster up is ‘Mmhmm..’ because if she speaks any further she’s going to cry. Tim most definitely won’t be able to handle that. Tim with tears in his eyes telling her she should go for it. Even if it’s killing him inside to be apart from her. To walk away from their potential romantically.

Tim feels the best thing he can do for her is distance himself. He is going to fall on his sword to make sure her future is secure. Now that is love. My goodness. The way she is searching his face in the first gif. Oof. She looks so hurt and angry at him for this. She also is trying to keep her shit together. It breaks my heart. This entire scene does. Then our boy walks away and she looks devastated. He has a smile on his face till he turns away from her. Then we see the heartbreak evident on his beautiful face. Ugh.

How she can go back in Chris after that I don't know.. After this scene I knew this season was going to be a hell of a ride. This was the perfect productive angst for them. Hurt like a SOB to watch. A true gut punch to your feels. But damn so well written and acted. I loved it sfm. Oh my lord I love this season.

[sydneyofalltrades]

This is for @gay-little-axolotl but also for anyone else interested in my make believe RTC production, leggoooo :)

First things first it’s the 2016 script, bc I’ll be damned if Fall Faire Suite, Ricky’s little intro about fate, and LOVE CONQUERS ALL is removed

Secondly, Ricky has to be played by a disabled actor. Can be any disability, he just needs to be disabled.

Karnak’s Dream of Life

Stylistically, same thing. Jane alone, no head, singing eerily about life. Cuts to black and we see Karnak and he has his explanation

Welcome…

Once again, the same, but Virgil is more or less always around the stage instead of only being seen once, kinda like an ominous reminder that Karnak’s death is approaching. As time goes by, he gets closer and closer to Karnak until the power cable gets severed

Fall Faire Suite

During the projections, we get a split second look at Penny, sort of blink and you’ll miss, kind of so we’re also wondering who she is. Still, her head is covered by the others and the staging for Fall Faire Suite is relatively the same

What the World Needs

Everyone’s wearing shirts that says “Vote Ocean,” the guys are wearing shorts under with the girls wearing skirts.

Ocean herself wears a varsity with a “Vote Ocean” button at the front and a picture of herself in the back, and has a ponytail with a bandana styled like that one “We Can Do It” poster.

Propaganda EVERYWHERE, even the projections say “Vote Ocean”

Mischa holds up a large sign saying “Ocean O’Connell Rosenberg for your vote” when Ocean talks about the Will Smith movie bit

Ricky is forced to wave a flag with Ocean’s face on it

Very patriotic, in Ocean’s favor

After the song everyone runs to the wings to take off the shirts after Ocean tries to win them back (In the order of Constance, Mischa, Noel, Ricky, Jane)

Noel’s interruption of I Love You Guys is when he charges back on stage (it’s dramatic and I love it)

Noel’s Lament

Everyone’s in clothing of the time period, Ocean and Ricky are in suits (something something girls in suits make me feral) and Constance and Jane are in light dresses. Jane has a cute headpiece of the time

They all get ready when Noel’s having that epic monologue rudely interrupted by Karnak

Mischa has a suit slightly different that the rest of them, kinda bc he’s actually a focus character of the song

Ocean’s hair is still in a ponytail bc I love Ocean with a ponytail, it’s just lower now

While Noel does his quick change, Jane passes him those like white feather boas and he wears it until it gets discarded like halfway across the song

He has a knife (prop) for that one line and Ocean takes it and replaces it with a cigarette

I feel like the baby line should be kept, toned down of course

The ending is relatively the same, just more lights. Everywhere

After the song, one by one the choir changes out of their outfits except for Ocean, who just takes off the coat and keeps the rest through Every Story’s Got a Lesson

Every Story’s Got a Lesson

Basically the same, but Ozzie’s in a suit

Yeah she still gets angry when Constance mentions porno

But Ricky actually steps up and protects Constance as he’s saying his “porno is magical” line

And that makes Ocean even more mad

This Song is Awesome

Think a music video filmed in a backyard. With more lights

Everyone’s in a tracksuit. Noel and Jane also have hats, Jane’s is a beanie

Mischa’s tracksuit is gold and black like his hat while the others are blue and white

Ocean once again gives a dude a blunt which is awesome

The lighting is way more in tune with the song, and the kids bring up the objects Mischa raps about (McNuggets, PlayStation, Cristal, all that jazz)

Mischa does toss his hat to Noel and rips open his shirt, it’s a law

Noel takes Mischa’s hat and gives his to Constance

The fan actually works this time (I like the silliness but pls)

After the song Mischa takes off his coat and buttons up his shirt for Talia

Talia

During Mischa’s small moment with Talia, the others get dressed in traditional white and red Ukrainian outfits

When they all arrive on stage, Mischa does his own quick change and arrives again and continues the song

Instead of Talia just being projected onto Jane Doe, she also dances with Mischa as if she was Talia

Then she gets ripped away from him and he does that really heartbreaking part of the song

During the disco bit everyone grabs their sunglasses from TSIA bc yes

They dance around Mischa then race to the wings to get changed again, leaving Mischa alone on stage looking wistfully at the projection of him and his love

Space Age Bachelor Man

Everyone’s in a super ridiculous outfit (obviously not too revealing, but the sexual tones are kinda there)

Depending on the performer’s preference, Ricky can and will use a mobility aid/ASL in his performance

The guys get like half a minute to change bc Ricky doesn’t give them much time, the girls have a little bit longer

Ricky himself has an outfit bedazzled so much you could see the gems from Saturn

Also his top is unbuttoned bc yes

Overall the behind the curtain scene can be prerecorded or done in real time depending on how quick Ricky could change idrk

As usual, Jane runs halfway so she can get ready for TBOJD

Ricky should deffo kiss Ocean, for the fun of it

Uhh something something the guitar solo is done by the Virgil, who’s now wearing a cat mask

The Ballad of Jane Doe

During Jane’s bumper, everyone gets ready and wears funeral wear. Jane, however, is in a gauzy lacy plain white dress, a haunting look for the empty girl

There’s doll imagery everywhere, along with imagery of the coaster going down

Jane still does her flying bit, and the dress really makes it look like she’s a ghost

As she sings on the ground, she tries to get the attention of the others, but none of them respond or even seem to notice her

She reached out to the audience as a way of asking, but obviously no one knows who she is

At the end of the song, everyone just leaves her alone and she’s reaching for them, but no one responds

The New Birthday Song

Everyone’s in their normal uniform except Jane

Constance has two party hats on her buns and everyone else wears one too

Ricky and Noel even put up a small “Happy Birthday” poster using Ocean’s torn propaganda

Jane still gets the cloak and hat, and she’s still confused

After the party, Jane goes to change back, Noel and Mischa have their moment, and Noel actually hugs Mischa instead of just leaning on his shoulder

When Jane comes back, Ricky takes her hand when he offers her the name Savannah

When Jane accepts, he hugs her, but she’s still sort of confused, she does hug him back tho

Sugar Cloud

Everyone’s in jackets of purple with light pink, as Constance monologues one by one they get dressed

Constance herself gets dressed behind the curtain. While the others are singing backup, she gets her pink suit on and has a headband with a small pink hat attached to it, since it won’t sit still on her head

Pink and purple and blue and gold lighting everywhere, and Constance actually gets to be the main singer, with the light rarely focusing on the others

Confetti comes from the top of the stage and pours down on the kids and somehow Karnak has a hat on too

Jane’s little claps at the end of the song stay, they’re too precious

After the song, Ocean says “I’m sorry” out loud instead of a whisper, and Constance forgives her by hugging her

Afterwards, during the final vote, each character removes their jackets and reveals they each have one thing from their songs

Ocean has her big “Vote Ocean” pin on her chest

Noel has his feather boa, which he fashioned as a scarf

Mischa has his hat and the sash(?) from Talia around his waist

Ricky has the headband from his wig along with light up shoes

And Constance had her headband with her hat

Jane had nothing to begin with, so she has nothing now

It’s Not a Game/It’s Just a Ride

As Ocean votes for Jane to come back, she takes her hand and makes her stand in the front of the stage, as a symbolic gesture, she no longer cares for just herself anymore

Jane gets one last hug from Constance before she guides her gently to the other side

Karnak’s death is the same thing, except Virgil is seen as well, he falls to the ground dead

The kids all swap their souvenirs to each other as the song gets lighter, and then returns them back to their rightful owners

Penny’s life is still the same, but it features some mentions of Legoland, and she and Ezra are both seen growing old together

At the end of the song, we see the kids get in their rollercoaster staging as Jane arrives again, floating once more, singing the final bits of the song

Aaaaaand that’s it!! God that was long, hope you enjoy!!

Loving your blog on eroica, your art is beautiful btw.

It's nice to see you talking abt the problematic political stuff the manga deals with, i read for the drama and gay ness and how the tropes are well executed. May i know your most fav and least fav arc and why??

thanks so much i'm so glad! i actually started reading it for the gay stuff as well but it awakened my seven year hyperfixation on the cold war

i've actually answered this before but now i've read these chapters more + i have a new Least Favorite Arc. so lets go

so, i don't know how much of a consensus this is, but my favorite arc is definitely the alaskan front, full stop. i also love eau de cologne and the free shooter/der freischultz

but i think that alaskan front captures FEWL's essence perfectly - the comedy is great, the characterization is at its' best, the art is gorgeous - the perfect balance between aoike's shojo artstyle and all the gun and machinery - and every character has a chance to shine, from agent Z, to the forgotten mr. jones, to mischa and to, of course, dorian and klaus.

plenty of my favorite panels and scenes come from this arc alone. one of my favorite scenes in the manga is one where eroica and his team manage to outsmart the KGB and even NATO, to the point that when dorian tells eberbach he had the KGB hospitalized (through giving them laxatives), he doesn't believe him

there's also some classic moments, like klaus saying his love of nescafe (just 'instant' here lol) for the first time, mr. bonham calling eberbach nato old man (or nato geezer lol), and whatever the hell this third picture is

i just find it great, all around. it struggles with pacing, as most of these longer eroica chapters do lol, but it still manages to be entertaining as you're building the web of spies in your head, and watching the funny interactions throught. this too is one of my favorite scenes ever. absolute great ride 🌹❤️🐗

now! my least favorite. this i won't expect to be a consensus, but it's seven days in september. readmore cos it turned out too long. here's some dorians from the alaskan front as a mental preparation

so right from the start, seven days follows midnight collector, the story about dorian's past interluded with im trying to steal the man in purple and another painting (i should mention that while the story about klaus' backstory doesn't have dorian, the major has a whole subplot in dorian's chapter), and as the arc proceeds, it starts a recurring theme of eroica's story being cut short/overshadowed by whatever's going on with the major.

i would only find this mildly annoying, if it weren't for the fact that the stories can become slow at best and boring at worst without dorian's more campy and, let me just say it, gay energy

this arc also starts another recurring thing for FEWL: very long and convoluted arcs. by the second half of seven days, we have: major and eroica crashing a plane in a convent, mischa and his KGB guys and salim and his misogyny and a brief appearance by lawrence and the SIS. they've already traveled three countries, and honestly by here i was already lost. it just gets to a point of too much information where the only thing keeping you going is the gags

(we can get into salim another day lol)

another thing that begins to suffer in this arc is the characterization. it's prolly somewhere around this arc that you might start to think 'wow, it's been a long time since eroica and the major have had a soft moment', and it's all downhill from here. there is such a focus on keeping eberbach as an asshole with zero development that their characterization actually begins to sufer -- klaus is more and more unbearable, and dorian is more and more stupid.

in this arc, there's a scene where, after dorian fails to get klaus drunk (story for another day) and klaus is the one that gets him drunk instead, he does a striptease, before klaus takes him to a bathroom. klaus tells him he hates him and threatens to beat him when he's asleep, but when dorian actually blacks out, klaus buttons up his jacket around him so that he isn't half-naked in a bathroom.

but! the scene is then completely ruined because shortly afterwards klaus and mischa (the bear cub) literally WATERBOARD dorian when he's still blackout drunk, in a scene that's actually hard for me to read

and again, it's really all downhill from here. seventh seal is another arc i really dislike, bc it follows this trend of eberbach manipulating and tricking dorian, and dorian's affection towards him stops being this funny if unlikely thing, and starts being more... sad lol

i had to get that one out of my system BUT. this is Not The Worst Yet! this arc features the single WORST scene in the ENTIRE manga and i will not be taking criticism about this

mischa, knowing the major's dad was a... tank commander... in the german army. in ww2, brings klaus to the el alamein desert, where a nazi generla or whatever lost a battle to the allies, with the intent of humiliating him. and it actually WORKS -- and once mischa obviously loses to eberbach in the end, it's supposed to be this moment of... reinvidication, almost? klaus says he doesn't care, but mentions how it hurt his pride, you know?

i find this one actually gross to read JFGJLKJGLGF its so incredibly bad either way you read it -- the major is offended mischa would remind him the germans lost the war, or mischa, a mischa, clinging to the past when the russians won the battle, but now in the current day the germans are better.

by this point you'd think we'd be over the 'major's dad was a soldier in ww2' thing or at least consider it an obvious Bad Thing -- but here's aoike, in 1982, still coyly playing up how germans are good and noble and all that

there's plenty other pretty bad eroica chapters -- insha'allah with its' messy orientalism and.. child brothel, midnight collector's messy handling of dorian's trauma, the seventh seal having dorian 'trick' a man in drag, the panda's maze everything etc. but seven days in september still remains at the top of me for having a moment where eroica actually stopped being fun, a moment where i actually had to stop to think about the author's politics and how they end up being cast over the story.

anyway read the alaskan front lol

[mcl-mia]

//so... i have (finally) began trudging my way through the routes of wh again (done every route prior to rembrant's, sans klaus 2 because i am petty and still think it shouldn't have existed), and i've finally gotten to nox's route. just finished rembrandt's. and like... man do i have Thoughts. so i'm going to compile them and scream into the void. many of them will probably be on rembrandt's route, but that's because.... you know. the one i just finished.

first of all. narrative wise, i ADORE the continuation. i love how they are all in one connected timeline, it really brings such a finality to season 2 and it does, despite having its own issues, fixes what one of my biggest problems with the s1 routes (i.e. self contained story lines that don't connect anywhere). they introduce like, 80% of the cast that you're going to be interacting with and dating for the forseeable future and it makes it feel like a proper overarching storyline actually EXISTS!!! AND THERE IS ONE!!! AND IT WILL SOMETIMES REFERENCE S1 STUFF!!! IT'S SO GOOD. SO GOOD.

-100 points for having the rest of the s1 cast being almost fucking absent though. i understand that like. narratively they wouldn't always need to be there. however. i miss my boys. also -10000000 points for practically no amelia. where's my fucking wingman.

i 👏 love 👏 the 👏 night 👏 class 👏 boys. 👏👏👏 they feel like an actual friend group and shit like this makes me soooooo fucking emotional:

literally this makes me so feral. like, these people are liz's best fucking friends and it SHOOOWWWWSSS. the unconditional love here makes my heart want to burst.

i am eating so much good food lore wise. geography from bith hisoka and rembrandt's routes have me eating so good.

i like the time travel aspect well enough, though i do wish they did a smidge more with it? i'm not done with the rest of the routes yet obv but i'm curious to see if liz gets to keep her time powers. the end of rembrandt's route seems to imply that she lost them because the goddess crystal shattered, though?? status is currently unclear.

this line from mischa destroyed me:

like seriously. what the fuck. this is such a good line. and it reminds me that hugo, vain, and mischa have seen so many possible timelines that exist, and yet there IS one where hugo decides to take his shot. i know they basically have everybody be in love with liz but i think it's especially cute but very cruel for hugo, who almost certainly falls in love with her every time he meets her in a different timeline. just something to think about.

speaking of mischa. i think it's fucking adorable how chica and mischa are pen pals. besties. refined ladies. we love them. idk why tumblr doesn't want me to upload the screenshot but it's really cute.

so. routes. hugo's and hisoka's felt like..... nothing? like sure, they had some Big Picture Plot relevance, hugo's moreso for obvious reasons, but hisoka's felt like a beach episode. really weird.

hisoka's especially felt like nothing. like, cool that they introduce beastmen and , subsequently,the not so cool furry racism (wow i love fe9/fe10). but like. what else did it do besides have rembrandt take his watch back. and some geography. it was a nice change of pace, but the stakes felt so incredibly low compared to the two other routes its sandwiched between. don't get me wrong, i love the ending that came out from it. i LOVE the market idea and i love how it was walter fucking goldstein that sponsors hisoka. i just wish that, like..... there was bigger things going on in it. cute route overall, but just felt a little out of place. also hachi is a 10/10 familiar. would give so many pets.

ok. so rembrandt. i love, like, a LOT of how this route is written, to an extent. it is SO full of lore and dragonkin biology. i also like the overt head-smashing symbolism of rembrandt's magic being called "twilight" - not quite day, not quite night. if i were any dumber i'd call it clever.

so. to go back to the bad. because i think, very ironically, rembrandt is the worst part of his own fucking route. it's not that i don't find rembrandt exceedingly pretty, because he is, and his characterization is kinda... good? but he's just not the rest of the cast. literally the rest of the s2 squad consistently make me smile and giggle like a child, while i'm giving the "romance" a 1000 yard stare.

like, seriously. this small convo with lucious is just fucking great and better than any dialogue liz and rembrandt have ever had:

lucious calling his friends virgins is so funny. you go you funky little dude. never change, baby boy. but this is just soooo GOOD.

there's a lot of instances where they make it a point to show that the s2 cast really cares for liz, and that they are so comfortable around her. there's SO much good interaction and it's so cute... and then rembrandt is just. there. in the corner. losing his religion.

ok but seriously. let's talk about rembrandt himself for a sec. because like, rembrandt is fine. i appreciate that they don't beat around the bush that he is literally going to outlive liz. i also appreciate that everybody else is like, "do not fucking trust him, he is literally the enemy". unfortunate that due to the nature of the route liz is like "nuh uh" which makes everyone else be like "fym nuh uh". overall though i feel like he's just. too bland. which is WILD considering that he was a prison of war for like 1000 years. i know it's moreso that in his route he has (because of liz) finally started to trust humans again, but i wanted hesitation, i wanted DRAMA, a more romeo and juliet type beat!!! that came kinda close to it, but rembrandt being there and basically turning himself in is.... lame. very lame. sigh.

and then we have the incorporation of rembrandt into the main group. like, i love the night class boys SO much. and like, it bothered me a lot when liz would be like "oh don't worry rembrandt, we're your friends and you're part of the group now!" when rembrandt would do basically nothing but exist there. like, he barely interacted with them??? he felt very out of place, especially when the rest of the boys were still unsure about rembrandt. at least make fun of zeus like the rest of us, old man.

also. the plot point where rembrandt met liz when she was a kid, and she changed his whole outlook on humans..... uuuugggghhhhh. felt very unnecessary imo. it's like they just wanted to slap in another romance trope to make up for the fact that there wasn't a lot of romance to begin with. uuuuugggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

this was funny:

thank you for your services caesar o7

oh! and nox's outfit as nightmare is dumb. i know wh probably wasn't getting the greatest budget in the world but like... could have made it, like, so much better. i'll do a separate post for that in a min.

uhhhhhh i think that's all i got for now. i have . more but y'know. more to come.

happy birthday mr. mischa "badegg" bachinski here a 200 word fic

19. 19 full years of life, and nearly three without his mother.

born august 18th, leo.

the aggressive nature.

he honestly didn't expect anything but a normal friday. he didn't expect anyone to remember. he nearly didn't.

instead, when he walked into the choir room after school, he was met with darkness. he paused, grabbing his phone and checking his texts from ocean. was practice cancelled? he swore he checked before he left home.

after quickly confirming that, no, practice wasn't cancelled, he huffed and flicked on the light.

a party.

ocean had a hat in her hands, noel had a pink blanket-cape, and constance had a cupcake.

a hello kitty cupcake with a single candle.

"wh.."

ocean darted forward, closely followed by noel, and they gently placed them onto mischas head and shoulders respectively.

ocean turned to ricky and gave a 1, 2, 3, 4 countdown and they began.

1, 2, 3,

1, 2, 3,

1, 2, 3, 4

this is the new song we sing

for birthdays

bouncy and merry

and not quite as scary

the new birthday song

"happy birthday, mischa. make a wish."

he met constance's gaze, switching between her and the cupcake. she gestured to it slightly with a smile, pushing it closer to him.

god, please let them stay.

he blew out the candle to immediate cheers, and penny walked forward with a bottle of some cheap vodka and he grinned.

19. 19 years of life, nearly three without his mother, and nearly one with the best people he had ever met.

"heres to another year, yes?"

This is why I love this kitty

Caesar Route Chapter 14 (11-16)

Last time on the Caesar route, Liz and Caesar break the Baroque curse and defeat Kars with the power of love and illegal bootleg magical tools.

So the castle is still crumbling and everyone gets trapped in a random hallway, which they can’t break out of because everyone’s magic power is low.

Great sentiment, but the only way you’re getting out of this is with a deus ex machina.

With nothing else to do, Zeus asks if the curse is broken, but Caesar isn’t sure, even though by all accounts, the curse has been broken. 

This logic feels... weird.

This, on the other hand, is hilarious.

Wait, I completely forgot that Caesar’s curse is kissing related, so I guess the original logic does make sense.

Did somebody order a deus ex machina? Although knowing the way Hugo operates, he’s either going to recite some weird poetry or steal something, and will not actually help anyone.

Surprisingly, Hugo is actually helpful this time. Everyone books it for the path of light before it fades, then Caesar starts talking to Hugo, so I guess they made it off the path? 

Hugo says he’s the “Guardian of Time and the Gatherer of Love,” which I think he’s said before, and reveals that he saved everyone because their interests align at the moment. Hiro thinks that Hugo is an enemy, while Liz is more confused over his conflicting interactions over the past few routes, but she also gets to drop this badass line:

Which Hugo finds amusing. He also calls her the Goddess of Time for some reason, even though I only think she had time powers in one route. Anyway Hugo points out the exit and then disappears, at which point its revealed they haven’t left the path of light yet and apparently just had that entire conversation while running. The path fades and everyone has to jump to make it to the cliff, which everyone does, then a conveniently placed army of wizards arrive to arrest Caesar.

Queued for July 18
