with the hiatus ending in less than a month i'm casting the dice for kuro finale predictions. a lot of this is based on the manga's narrative style, as well as season one's ending (which, though yana didn't write it, she DID give the production team input). place your bets now!

the manor burns down again. partial credit for Something burning down because yana loves a full circle moment

elizabeth lives and is instrumental for some part of the climax, i.e. crashing out at o!ciel (it's what he deserves).

elizabeth inherits the title of guard dog and maybe funtom. girlboss!

sebastian gets badly injured or nearly dies. i think he needs to suffer a little more (endearing)

the phantomhives' killer is someone we've already met. that's murder mystery ground rule number one baby

bonus points if queen victoria did it! she's the only known character who i can piece together a viable motive for

madam red makes a harrowing return as a bizarre doll

undertaker is a red herring villain BUT knows who orchestrated the phantomhives' murders and/or tried to prevent it from happening. isn't telling o!ciel because that would mean satisfying the contract.

said contract is concluded

r!ciel is definitely dying again. let the kid rest man

tentatively theorizing that rachel phantomhive will be important to the murder reveal in some way. we've seen a lot of vincent thus far and it's suspicious that rachel, who parallels elizabeth in visuals, emotional intelligence, AND moral uprightness hasn't had her moment yet

we need to stop making wolfwood so suave and smooth in fics. we need to make him a complete loser. he is just so touch-starved and horny that when vash puts his hand on his thigh for the first time he gets so hard he almost passes out

I'm having A Thought about cultural assumptions and how people often conflate their own cultural quirks and patterns as being either universal or Obviously Logical, based on seeing a post with someone's lock screen, because I have ADHD.

It was a simple example but a very neat one, and it's about how we write and speak about dates (as in the measure of time, not the fruit of the date palm or an intimate meeting). Americans write dates backwards, by the standards of nearly every culture (inc. other English speaking cultures). They write them MM/DD/YY instead of DD/MM/YY, this is known.

But the thing is, ok there is a good reason most people write the day then month but none the less, what a culture decides on is still just a little bit arbitrary, the point is it's a cultural agreement that This Is How It's Done. Earlier I saw a post with someone's lock screen, an American, and it displayed something like "Wednesday, December 12" and that caught my eye because mine obviously reads "Thursday, 9 March", because I come from the UK, where we use DD/MM.

And I was reminded of an American once telling me how MM/DD obviously makes more sense though, because you see, that's how you say dates in English! You would say "March ninth", so you write the month then the day! Except, well, that's not how we say dates here, we say "the ninth of March". But this guy had assumed that the standard phrasing in his culture was just how all English speakers would say it, therefore the date format they used was clearly the more natural and intuitive way, and of course you think in terms of the month something is happening and then when in the month it is!

To me, however, this feels like someone earnestly and confidently explaining that naturally you put your socks on over your shoes.

Obviously there's a bunch of examples of this kind of thing, and many with far greater importance, but it just seemed like a really very telling and concise example of how people will see features of their culture that result from specific quirks as universalities that make more sense than any other system.

I won't write this because I'm still in a rut and I have other things to catch up on, but fun AU idea: famous person x normal person AU, except the normal person lives under a rock and has no fucking clue who the famous one is

a sad "did we watch the same thing?" is this idea that tva loki is "the god of stories" who can freely travel the multiverse and do anything that takes his fancy because now he actually is a god, and it's sad because that's a less depressing ending to the loki series but i just cannot see where people are getting that from beyond "thing i liked in a different medium" + the typical complaints that the vastly overpowered magical character should have resolved the plot of everything in the first five minutes.

so what's, like, our general consensus, that the previous cycle with polyxia and gnaeus and calypso and khaos was the actual previous cycle in amphoreus or did it, like, never actually happen and is just part of the history of this cycle or what? are we agreeing the one we're seeing now is the first cycle with these specific chrysos heirs and the only one that's always there is phainon or were all of them in the previous ones as well? and are we agreeing that the reaver is a past phainon that's somehow made it in this cycle or is he a split part of current phainon in our general understanding?

cause, I mean. If we agree that this is mydei's first cycle (if we agree that he's not gnaeus and that gnaeus was actually there in mydei's place in the previous cycle) how did the reaver know where to hit him to kill him. where did he even get that information from.

looking up a little bit more and apparently, they fooled the soldiers into believing it was an operation against north korea... They took away all their cellphones in advance and had them practice on infiltrating the national assembly building two days before this coup...

But what the soldiers actually had to face yesterday were the civilians and members of the parliament. So we see them apologizing and be hesistant and reluctant.

This is so messed up.

I've been watching tons of videos of speeches from serial killers, cult leaders, (confirmed) psychopaths etc today and Tobias does plenty of the subtle things they do, from tone and phrasing to body language. It makes it x100 scarier for me to then look at how Tobias has made every single person he's come across like him to some degree or another, sometimes simply by existing and other times by tailoring his manipulation strategies to their psyche
