walks back in. and the scions too. what's the dynamic what's going on there. walks out

the scions my friendssss :D except it's a little more complicated than that for hilde. ohhh the can of worms.

minfilia is... someone who ultimately he cared about because thancred cares about her. she wasn't unkind to him but like. he spent his whole life doing what he was told by his parents & various superiors. after just coming out of garlemald minfilia was pretty much just another superior who didn't utterly wreck him if he disobeyed or performed too poorly (but the threat was always looming even if he did not realise he even felt threatened at all until years later. yknow how it is with trauma). she was friendly & all! but uhhh. you think arr hilde would get close to his BOSS? i suppose that goes against his closeness w raya-o & a-ruhn as his whm instructors but like. raya-o never really... treated him like a pupil much. it felt more like she was helping him on equal footing. & a-ruhn has the same age gap w hilde that hilde has with nero that thing's a fucking toddler he's not taking shit from a toddler (a-ruhn's animosity was very teenish which was like. impossible for hilde to find even slightly intimidating). with the scions everyone looked to minfilia & it was also a lot more like... organised? neat & tidy? it wasn't like. yeah go out to that random camp in the forest theres a 21 y/o trying to teach you a spell that honestly isnt that cool. it was more The boss has summoned you come to this Building that we Own talk to the Secretary go get your Assignment & your Assignment could get you & many others killed btw! like. i honestly think being with the scions was nottt healthy for hilde at first he went from actively being dehumanised in garlemald to being essentially treated as a living weapon by a well-meaning Group of People who all had connections to each other & hildegarde was the Outsider, the one in the minority, the New Guy. & it wasn't really minfilia's fault. but she did not help his self-perception. & to this day he doesn't really know how to feel about her. they have a connection due to both having the echo but the more rebellious part of him that's resurfaced thanks to (gestures vaguely at shb/post shb/edw/lachesis) like. it feels like he's pushing up against an authority figure that isn't even there anymore when he thinks of her. thinks of all the ways he could've handled situations better. of how her being the authority figure among the scions is also why she ended up becoming hydaelyn's vessel. & she fully accepted & welcomed it, but also like... it does put her on higher footing, doesn't it?

it took him a while to warm up to urianger due to urianger being the way that he is. not much to warm up to for a while. found him amicable but intimidating as a figure who'd often be standing in the back saying... clever things. the warring triad did make him less subconsciously wary of urianger but initially he really felt like one of the "higher ranking scions", so a Superior, &. see above. urianger showing more of himself through being around unukalhai helped hilde see him as his own person rather than just Some Sort Of Authority, & the "betrayal" with the warriors of darkness is what really got him intrigued. obviously don't get to get to know him much more until shb though. & so after everything in the msq they are close friends as fellow Not Fucking Sharing Shit About Their Inner Turmoil guys! urianger was willing to open up with him which meant a Lot but even without that like... i mean hilde isn't stupid he could tell how much it sucked for him back in post hw too. & in shb too. urianger is not good at concealing his emotions when things come to a head. urianger is also one of the scions least likely to judge or admonish hildegarde for his grief & generally very strong emotions that may conflict with what his reason tells him. that is to say his immense compassion for the ascians & all that. how he wishes he could've done something to give elidibus a kinder death, or another chance at life entirely. how he wishes it could've ended differently with emet. it's probably not something he shares until post elpis but like he does share it! i think uri & him tell each other stuff they don't necessarily tell others except for y'shtola bc good fucking luck trying to hide something from y'shtola. also they clown on thancred together so it really gets to hilde when urianger takes thancred's side literally anytime

speaking of THANCRED... man. theyyyy got infatuated pretty quicklyyyy & his tendency to put everything on himself awakened the I Can Fix Him in hilde in arr. looking at the magical knowledge he already had & the fact he was pretty damn good at magitek shit despite not giving a fuckkk abt it solely bc he asked nero endless questions back in the day he was like. if thancred is going to feel responsible for people being tempered i will simply have to find a way to cure tempering so he stops blaming himself. cue the start of one of the most unhealthy relationships he's ever had with a person that didn't wish him ill 🎉 they NEVER got official bc thancred's always everywhere so good luck getting ahold of him long enough to get anything going but also they just didnt talkkk about feelings like thatttt. they spent some time together in post arr during downtime but well. emotionally unavailable thancred & doesnt know how to people hildegarde 🫶 great going chucklenuts. during post hw while hilde was very relieved to see him back there was some friction over thancred getting protective wrt aymeric asking hilde to do stuff like participate in the tourney thing & all that. it was one of those "i don't mind doing this! the scions aren't any different in asking me to do things for them! ... hey wait a minute the scions aren't any different in asking me to do things for them" moments that gave hilde pause. not nearly enough to get anywhere healthy with his views of himself though, just enough to side with aymeric (another thing that could've pushed them closer together... but alas. the msq. well they did get closer but. yeah) late & post stb was a good amount of hilde beefing with thancred over petty things bc he was on edge but not enough Heavy Shit was happening & anyway why are you always gone?? you're impossible to talk to! it's like you don't want to be around me or something! (thancred passes out) Uh Oh (regret) & then well shb. all that shittttt. they finally got closer LIKE TWO NORMAL PEOPLE but well the end of shb kinda. um. hilde was way too broken for. anything LOL! they had a talk about whatever the fuck situationship they had, decided to Not go forth with anything but to actually like, start relying on each other better. & so they do. but there's also animosity bc of ideological differences & thancred being a hater so they have sort of frequent spats... clears throat. they're not always serious but uh. likely thancred will have things to say when he finds out about emet's return. lol. i'll. work that out later XDDDD

papalymo! 🎉 one of the first scions he's met! also an Authority Figure but also he's small & lyse never everrrrr takes him seriously which put hilde at ease. lyse really did a lot to put hilde at ease intentionally or not in retrospect. best friends forever! like i said! anyway hilde misses papalymo & yes he does. kind of. blame himself for papalymo dying. he's got the blessing of light right? that has to mean his aether is like special right?? surely if he stays papalymo's entire aether won't get obliterated!!! papalymo please!! (cut to shb) oh my god his aether is special. oh no he's the monster he always thought himself to be. oh no- this isn't about that. but it is also similar to his thought process whenever he thinks of papalymo. leads to him thinking about all his failings & all the wrong he's done... yeppp. he appreciated papalymo for well. being reliable. for helping lyse too, retroactively. & he is grateful the two of them introduced him to the scions of course (even if again not good for him at all at first)

lyse... eugghfgu. well ive said it already. & yeah she was one of the people who he got on with fastest. not as fast as alphinaud but . yeah

y'shtolaaaaa. can't hide anything from her & at this point he doesn't even try anymore! matter of fact, in post shb he relied a fair bit on her to stay somewhat sane (he was Deeply Not Sane but ignore that) by checking with her how his aether was doing like. everyday. going up to her like do i look weird? is it still gone? is it really over? so on so forth. he trusts her a lot because of just. how much integrity she's always had. she was intimidating at first but out of all the scions i think he ended up adopting values closest to hers. she was always bold & uncompromising with the things that mattered to her, & that was really impressive & admirable to hilde especially considering how noble her beliefs were to him. she's kind of the platonic ideal of a scion in his mind. her not recognising him in shb after he already had concerns about the light absorption really hurt him even if it wasn't malicious or anything, it was more... a concern that she, too, believed him to be a monster - because if she of all people, the one who'd been arguing in favour of the, eh, "beast tribes" from the start, agreed with him then certainly he was done for. that she couldn't tell him from his aether bc of how bad he was corrupted? mannnn. that sucked. he kind of kept a fear of her thinking ill of him for some time afterwards, but ultimately she IS one of the scions he relies on most. rated top 3 scions he likely tells about his plan to give the ascians a chance at an actual normal life. yeappp. doubtless they do a shit ton of research together that would not be sanctioned by sharlayan or whatever other authorities on Knowledge there may ever be 🫶

g'raha voted also top 3 scions hilde tells about the Ascian Rescue Plan (basically what it is innit...). he has an incredibly unique lived experience & is trustworthy in all the right ways for him to be made aware of it. his reverence for hilde did put him off a lot initially but once he got past the awkwardness of being regarded so highly (& once g'raha became less starstruck) they got to become better friends. admittedly going through a bunch of horrific shit together helped, as miserable as it was, but yeah. i'm getting eyes seepy so im probably gonna type shorter now but like. yeah! that's his friend. they talk about concerning things together. they'd die for other people together. raha is also one of the least likely to judge him if he ever did admit to like... genuinely wanting to head to the tempest on his own & let himself transform. one thing about raha is that he's a FREAK! he's got an interesting moral code & we are so lucky he uses his scheming mind for good rather than evil

ESTINIEN MY MAN!!!!!! very good friends with hilde. the era of heavensward conflict is long gone! they are just hanging out. i think they travel together more than the game shows, even if they don't necessarily stick around each other. they just both travel a bunch so on occasion they make the trip together. estinien is so incredibly chill & non judgemental bc he's super straightforward & doesn't really bother with like... the nerd shit the other scions give a shit about. & it's a presence hilde really needs sometimes! so there's stuff that probably no one else has heard about that estinien knows about hilde because he just Does Not Gaf Like That. very nice safety net to have emotionally. hilde's headmates also really like him & while hilde is usually fronting if the convo even slightly appeals to another headmate they get dragged into front instantly. & well it doesn't really weird estinien out. have i mentioned estinien is a system to me. anyway yeah they're. yeah!! pals! hanging out!!! trust in each other! woo!

krileeeeeeeee ohhhh krile. hilde cares a lot about krile. surely he would've had a similar relationship with minfilia if she hadn't been. y'know. the antecedent. there's kinship there bc of the echo even if it manifests differently. they don't really share a lot with each other generally but they don't, need to? krile doesn't have the same amount of baggage as everyone else & seems to be coping pretty well with shit all things considered. they do hang out every so often to get food or just go sightseeing though. dragging krile from her office job of restoring the students of baldesion to go hiking in coerthas

tataru, alphinaud & alisaie are undeniably the most important scions to hilde. how could they not be!!

tataru is always there for him. she doesn't know all that happens, he certainly does not tell her jack nor shit, but she's always doing the most to help her fellow scions & was also one of the most welcoming members when he first joined. & with the whole heavensward shit... yeah. going somewhere without tataru to cheer him on from the sides feels wrong. maybe that's why shb went so badly. joking but. yeah lmao. there's shared experiences they have (with alphinaud too) that formed a really unique & important bond to him, & he will always take time out of his schedule to check up on her if he can. she's been there for him from the start & he will always return it to the best of his ability.

from the very beginning alphinaud & alisaie were set apart from the rest of the scions. they came to eorzea on the same carriage as he (& also they're 16 so def not intimidating or authority in any way lmao), & therefore while he felt like an outsider with the scions it was always different with them. alphinaud was certainly vainglorious but he was also a young, naive teen with big dreams, & when everyone was captured it was just him & alphinaud for a time. & then again in heavensward. life wanted for them to spend a lot of time relying on each other, which forged a strong bond. hildegarde would not hesitate even a second to lay down his life for alphinaud, & the same goes for tataru & alisaie - though he only got to bond with alisaie properly later he was always concerned for her when she wasn't around. she was a 16 y/o going around doing dangerous stuff on her own! when thancred brought her back unconscious it became an automatic "yeah sure i'll fucking die for her too who gives a shit not me that's for sure". getting to spend more time with her in stb & post stb cemented their friendship & the kind of... mentor, sort of parental vibe hilde has for the twins? & then shb obviously. he ran to find alisaie first. how could he not, with how distressed she'd been at their parting? yeah. yeahhh. hilde loves the twins. they're like his kids. they're not gonna like the stepfather (joking. we know they don't hate emet)

so um. yeah! quick shoutout to the others like riol coultenet hoary boulder & ofc our departed legends moenbryda & ysayle. they COUNT!! TO ME!!!!! & I LOVE THEM & hilde misses them. hilde thinks riol is like cooler thancred, jokingly

also another shoutout to ryne she's another daughter to hilde & she ALSO COUNTS. would've stolen him from thancred if he hadn't been the father who stepped up 10/10

[misterbitches]

what i like abt muren and li chen

i’m sorta burned out and my vagina is bleeding so lemme see if i can type this. probably can lmao. my brain is going ten miles a minute.

1. the fact that they were friends first.

 someone on here said this and idk who but i don’t want to seem like it was my idea. 

the fact that they are friends and didn’t have like a connection previously and it developed. most times friends-to-lovers has a basis of some sort of romantic interest from another person so they were not truly ever friends, you know? and many relationships people aren’t friends first but that’s the best kind. and they are the truest form in that (i wouldnt say truest means good but just i think a representation of) they were truly friends, no attraction at least consciously, and were lead into it. 

2. bc they know each other well and are friends they know each other and LAUGH and if you can’t laugh with your love then there is no point. 0. lmao. i love it

idk they fell easily in2 the luvy duvy part and u can actually believe they are into each other like outside of kissing. gee. also hello! when lichen like threw the heart in the office and muren caught it? bitch! i woulda been like ew!!!!! and blushed but muren was like that’s right that’s my bitch

3. bouncing off 2 um uhhhhh the way they interact so i guess this is 2 but whatver i like lists now

muren is >:O but super sweet and receptive to others. so he responds to people and it isn’t just stoic for stoic sake or with not much substance. idk how to say this but oftentimes sometimes i feel like characters will be too oppositional to offset their partner and it can be extremely annoying to watch because it’s part of the dynamic but sometimes there’s a lack of reciprocation. i like that even if muren is quiet he smiles a lot and lets people know through his actions and shit. esp his mans. and when he needs to talk, he will. 

lichen is perfect for this because of reasons. what do you even say about this dude holy shit. first of all he really is a fucking himbo. he’s not even dumb he’s just a fucking himbo. it’s great to say the way they express their excitement and the best thing to hear, “i can be myself around you”

4. u cannnot tell me that this top/bottom discourse is actually not ridiculous esp for them bc there is no way that my eyes are seeing what i see yet there’s some struggle when they’re trying to constantly grapple with the masculine/feminine aspects (this is a good thing)

with the way that they hang off each other. esp bc lichen is shorter than him and stockier and he can attach himself like a barnacle. the way he expresses glee and love is very “feminine” at times IE reliance, support, putting your head on his etc but then there are times when he is the one to hold muren too. so it’s like they are clearly on the same  level in how they exchange love and stuff and exploring the dynamics but it clearly isnt as structured as the usual ones and it shouldnt be so they should just stop talking about this shit cos ur both getting fucked god shut up

lichen squeals like a girl and is obsessed with him. he is clingy and also says “what do you want to do to me.” if this show is gonna sit us through the agony of this stupid discourse and they tell me they arent gonna sw*tch or whatever (not that they cant have other forms of sex bc that is not that difficultand as adults w eknow this but anywaaay) then they simply are wrong

5. the ~gay 4 u~ thing is dumb and i cannot believe it tbqh cos it’s like sir....but i am glad that lichen like expresses attraction to his physique and personhood as a man and acknowledging that that is something and a part of the attraction.

 it was probably a happy accident but it’s still a good one. there’s sometimes an idea of like sexual attraction being sorta nebulous when someone is like getting into a rship with the same gender but not being sure about their sexuality or whatever or still liking another gender explicitly where they cant admit they find things attractive or enticing even when they are in a same sex relationship and it is so fucking confusing and doesn’t make sense. i wish instead of trying to make it cut and dry they just went honestly mabye they dont know but theyre both men and thats a factor. ok lets move on now. :) 

6. they make u feel nice

especially in comparison to the show being messy and also there’s some crazy stalker man running around you know they temper that 

they’re just really fun to watch. it’s an interesting dynamic and particularly with xing si in their lives it’s nice and i’m so glad there’s no one else to ruin it like say a brother who is a waste of space. but it’s mostly good feelings for them and you can see why they like each other, that they can stay together, and how helpful a relationship can be as you grow as an individual

7. while i am sure there will be further misunderstandings...comm...unic...ation?

literally boys are dumb as hell but idk if my reading is correct on this one but SO FAR TO MOI im like wow u guys like actually talk. woah. and i think that’s nice. yest i had a breakdown in front of my fam bc i am sometimes emotionally stunted when faced with distress so it’s nice to see people talking that out in particularly with like jealousy and stuff

AND their interactions in public and the understanding. knowing it takes time and stuff for them to adjust and allowing them the time. they are extremely different to other people and they want to be distinct and they can be and arre to each other they dont need to follow anyone else’s rules (except the costume department sometimes needs to get better pants for muren like that’s my rule tbh but that’s neither here nor there)

did some1 call them emotional support himbos? i think so cos word. 

oh one more thing idk the name of the actor playing li chen and im too tired to look it up but i like him a lot i think he does a good job of going seamlessly between like a jubilant person and an actual human being. he plays well at being oblivious but not outright stupid and emotionally stunted or not picking up certain signals. i think at times it seems like he doesn’t always have a sense of self  like trying to be something else for other people but then he realizes like he can’t do that so all he can do is be himself which leads him 2 his mans but yea. the actor does a decent job! it’s a fun character to wathc

[valeriemperez]

As much as your anons like to blame Todd, he's the only one that's been there from the beginning and I usually like his written eps the most. I hope he stays. The last thing we need is a showrunner who wasn't there from the start.

Better the devil you know, right? I generally like Todd, but he’s been slacking this season lol. I hope he’s got something good in store, because I agree that bringing in someone new as the showrunner is usually not a good idea. Maybe if Zack Stentz came in and took over lol…

So do people just choose to ignore 5x11-5x13?? cause not only did we get westallen moments, but great moments for barry and iris individually. Like is a kiss all that matters for a scene to be considered a westallen scene? I get the frustrations but, people are being really over-dramatic about this

Recency bias! I honestly only remember 5.12, lol, so I can’t speak to the rest. But I think everyone would be happier with a few more meaty scenes between them. Kiss or no.

Grant and Candice were excited about Nora and how JKP can be their daughter lol and Grant said he was excited about Nora and The Flash since S4 but now I understand why he is not excited anymore. He is sidelined in his own show

Yup! To be fair, we haven’t had many interviews in the back half of the season, so it’s hard to gauge how they feel about it offscreen. But Grant has certainly not been breathing life into his performance the way he used to, and Candice has hardly mentioned the show on her SM.

I know a lot of people already getting frustrated wth TF storyline & the lack of heart, balance that make TF special. I’m 1 of them. I love Iris & she has her own story aside from WA especially this week wth her dad, but the lack of WA as a healthy couple the show applaud of, is no where to be seen. Action important but even that they x do right. BA is not even a hero in his own story. They need to find their balance & shake things up. Is Arr*w as bad now? Is ol*city potray as a married couple?

I’m frustrated too, so I get it. I think they have all the right pieces and just don’t know how to put them together. I’m sure we’ll get more WA starting next week, though. 

As for the other show, it’s better than last season! The amount of OF varies, but I would say there is less of them as a married couple than there was of WA in 4B/5A. But more than there is in 5B so far lol.

There were so many things wrong with this episode and with the show in general. There is no consistency. I don’t mind the villain of the season but they really got have a good story line and know how to build it as well as all the other little side stories. I really didn’t see the point of wells being there. Im sorry but Tom needs to go his characters does not need to be in every episode. Isn’t he supposed to help catch Cicaida or find out his identity ?

I agree about the lack of consistency. I think they just need to find their center again, because they’ve been off-kilter for a bit.

Where do the rumors about G/C hating each other come from? I mean, I know how they SPREAD. This site can be an echo chamber. All it takes is one person to say something and it spreads. But what gives fans the impression they hate each other? First the issue was SM, now it can’t be anymore BC C likes a lot of his pics and even G gave her some likes (not that I bought that excuse since they weren’t ignoring each other to that extent), then it was the wedding but CP confirmed she went. What is it?

I mean, just because you don’t think they hate each other based on their SM (and I don’t either) doesn’t mean others feel the same. From what I can tell, the rumors come from G not standing up for C in the early days and often posting pics with other cast members and not her. Also, people will read into a lot of things C posts and relate them back to G whether she means for that to happen or not. If G posted something with her this week, the rumors would die for about a month and then start back up again. Nothing will change for the fans who like to speculate until GC act like besties and flirt for the cameras and hang out with each others’ SOs the way some other costars do.

[clownmoontoon]

I'm interested in watching Osomatsu-san, but I have a few questions, if that's ok. 1. Sub or dub? 2. How do I know who's who? I already know some of the easy ones, thanks to you. Thank you in advance! (P.s. Thanks for telling me about BNHA!)

ITS A REALLY GREAT ANIME AND IT HAS SOME OF THE BEST CHARACTER WRITING I HAVE EVER SEEN. IT IS ABSOLUTELY ONE OF MY TOP FAVE ANIMES EVER

HOWEVER

idk how old you are (or the age of anyone possibly reading this) so i feel i should say Osomatsu-san has a lot of mature themes and is CLEARLY meant for a more mature audience of the adult/college age/MAYBE later teen variety

all the main and most important side characters in the show are at least in their 20′s.

im not recommending this show to kids is what im saying haha

its nowhere near as wholesome as hero aca

ANYWAY ONTO YOUR QUESTIONS

1. Sub or Dub?

as of right now there is no dub Viz Media, who most recently did the redub of sailor moon (AND ITS FANTASTIC BTW SO IT GIVES ME HIGH HOPES FOR MATSUS), had sent out a tweet saying that the dub was going to be released some time in October of this year but …nothing happened?? my buddy @arr-jim-lad even contacted them about it, and they responded that there were no updates to mention. ://///SO right now sub is all we got haha

ITS REALLY GOOD THO SO ITS NOT LIKE A NEGATIVE OR ANYTHING BC THESE VOICE ACTORS ARE AMAZINGdef my fave voice actors of any sub ive watched (and ive watched quite a few)

2. How do I know who’s who? I already know some of the easy ones, thanks to you.

one of my fave aspects of this show is that after a few eps, despite them all having the same face, it becomes VERY EASY to tell them apart haha this is part of why the character writing is so strong imo!

but here’s a few tips and tricks to look for just in case you cant tell right away!

🌈COLORS!!!🌈

❤️Osomatsu -  the eldest of the sextuplets and the show’s namesake - RED

💙Karamatsu - 2nd eldest - BLUE

💚Choromatsu - 3rd eldest - GREEN

💜Ichimatsu - 4th brother - PURPLE

💛Jyushimatsu - 5th brother - YELLOW

💖Todomatsu - 6th and youngest brother - PINK

the easiest thing to get the hang of first when it comes to noticing the matsus is def their designated colors! Even when theyre not in their trademark hoodies they can usually be seen wearing their colors somewhere on themselves so if you cant tell who’s who right away LOOK FOR THE COLORS!!

if theyre all wearing matching outfits you can look at their hair shinies bc they’ll usually be their color when nothing else is! (tho those are a bit more subtle in coloring bc ..well..shinies haha)

😄EXPRESSIONS and QUIRKS😎

each of the bros has a standard neutral expression, and some of them have fun quirks that make it very easy to tell who’s who! lets start backwards this time \(ouo)/ (mostly bc from the start the youngest bros are def easiest to recognize…besides karamatsu ofc)

this got quite long so check under the cut for all the bro details and fun collages i made for each bro bc i love this show too much! \(>u

💖Todomatsu (pinky boi)💖

he’s the designated “cute” boy, and the worst/best self-centered millennial stereotype. actually a total mean girl in disguise, and (according to his bros) a “vile monster”. i love him and he’s a cute demon. not the worst bro but pretty darn close.

neutral expression: :3voice: highest pitch of the bros and often whiny quirks: - can usually be seen w his smartphone - acts the most feminine (covers his chest if naked or topless)- always has eye shinies - two hairs sticking out on the top of his head - calls all his bros “niisan” since he’s the youngest

next up MY BOOOYYYYY

💛Jyushimatsu (YELLOW SUNSHINE LIGHT OF MY LIFE)💛

the hyper-active, forever smiling, incredibly powerful, baseball boy! if something weird and crazy is going on jyushimatsu is either directly involved or about to be. he’s always laughing, smiling and making weird jokes/noises. a very sweet boy who is entirely too powerful. He often dresses as animals, and is used as an “attack dog” to torture whichever brother he’s commanded to (usually oso). A very unpredictable boy to say the least. Its hard to imagine an ooc version of him bc there isnt much he would not do or say.HE IS MY FAVE BEST SUNSHINE BOY

neutral expression: 8Dvoice: lowest pitch of the bros but also the loudest, often making weird/nonsensical sounds/noises such as: BBBBOEHBA!! 8Dquirks: - often goes cross eyed - is incredibly strong, can lift and throw his adult brothers like nbd - never has eye shinies in the anime unless he’s about to cry - wears shorts when everyone else is wearing pants, also some times wears a traffic cone on his head- wiggly arms and sleeves too long (even when its not the hoodie, usually his sleeves are always too long haha)- only one hair sticking out on the top of his head

((MANY THANKS TO @arr-jim-lad​ FOR THE TILTED PIC IDEA ITS ADORABLE))

next up my second fave, NEKOMATSU

💜Ichimatsu (purple cat man)💜

the designated darkmatsu, ichi is the slow moving, constantly slouching, quietest boy who thinks cats are way better than people. the least motivated matsu, even going out to do fun things (like drinking or gambling) is some times too much trouble. for him a good time is laying on the floor and thinking about death (and also cats). a fan of torture, if the situation calls for causing trauma he’s suddenly very talkative and plays w his voice a lot. he is the second brother (after my boy jyushi) that is often called upon when one of the other brothers (or anyone) needs to be tortured. i love this boy and he is good to my fave boy god bless suujimatsu

neutral expression: B(voice: usually very low, slow and monotone quirks: - eyes always half lidded, no shinies - always slouched- messy hair (some times w cat ears)- only bro to wear track pants (w the line on the side)- has a diff cat in his lap almost every ep, but does not actually own one- two hairs sticking out on the top of his head

up next everyone’s fave otaku,

💚Choromatsu (green frog weeb man)💚

the resident brother mom and a total idol otaku, choromatsu isnt concerned w much else besides his idol obsession and proving he’s way more responsible than his brothers. he often walks todomatsu to the bathroom at night and waits for him to finish since youngest bro is scared of the dark (reminder theyre both grown men in their 20′s). he thinks he’s better suited to be the oldest brother and leader rather than osomatsu and even points it out once, with agreements from both todomatsu and ichimatsu.if anything crazy happens choro is the first to scream about it not being ok. he’s got the strongest will of all the brothers and can never be persuaded to change his mind about a situation. he’s not a fighter at all and usually chooses to stay on the sidelines even if he agrees w whatever the bros are fighting about (killing god for instance).he’s under constant stress bc he’s pretending to do his best while his brothers are terrible i love him give this poor green man a vacation

neutral expression: :voice: higher pitched, not as high as todo but still higher among the bros, and usually using it to yell @ brosquirks: - smallest pupils, no shinies (in the anime)- usually has a worried expression- wears plaid a lot- is irritated almost all the time - wont look for a job bc he’s determined to be an idol manager- no hairs sticking out on top of his head

AND NEXT MY THIRD FAVE AND EASILY THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MATSU

💙 KARAMATSU 💙

LOOK AT THIS BEAUTIFUL MAN, THIS PAINFUL ADONIS OF MATSUS!! IS THAT A GLITTER CROP TOP THAT DOESNT COVER THE CHEST?? IT SURE IS!! ARE THOSE JEAN BOOTY SHORTS?? YOURE DAMN RIGHT THEY ARE!!!

karamatsu is EASILY the most recognizable matsu. w those amazing eyebrows, constant use and abuse of anime eyes, wild variety of glittery, revealing, and leather clothing its no wonder he’s called painful oh my god i love this man DID I MENTION HE SPEAKS RANDOM ENGLISH FOR NO REASON AND ITS GREATalso he’s probably the most caring brother who genuinely wants his brothers to be happy and know theyre loved very much by him ;;

if you cant immediately spot this matsu i dont know what to say to you tbqh

neutral expression: >:Dvoice: he makes his voice deep to sound cool p much all the time but its actually higher pitched than it seems quirks: - wears sunglasses, skulls, a leather jacket, sparkly everything, and p much anything he thinks is “cool”- easily the most expressive matsu just look for those eyebrows haha- puts his finger under his chin a lot - “BURAZAHS” - "heh!”- two hairs sticking out on the top of his head

and now on to the final, the oldest, and arguably the worst matsu

💔Osomatsu💔

THERE HE IS!!!! THE TRASH KING BROTHER!!!!i kid, i kid sort ofimplying that the matsus are not all trash boys is just a joke tbqhfor me osomatsu was absolutely the hardest bro to recognize when i first watched the show, and i think the biggest tip i can give for him is just to look for the red boy scratching under his nose. also the boy who looks like he would buy and sell you. he’s a pretty brilliant con man and a good fighter too, but his laziness outweighs anything that he could possibly achieve in. he’s absolute trash but in a way still lovable?? OH ACTUALLY if youre familiar w the anime Lupin the Third just look for the brother that makes the most Lupin-esque faces he’s got that classic-anime-comedy-male-lead look more than any of the other bros so that might help you recognize him!

could literally be lupin’s little bro haha

neutral expression: its like a stretched version of this :3 w teeth showingvoice: higher pitched, he plays w his voice almost as much as jyushimatsu, very playful and teasing, hardly ever serious sounding quirks: - scratching under his noise- obsessed w money and women (and never has either)- the most addicted to gambling of all the bros (this is sounding less like quirks and more like serious problems omg), favors horse races and pachinko- the “leader”, usually the one telling the others what to do (even if they rarely listen)- calls no one “niisan” since he’s the oldest - two hairs sticking out on top of his head

WOW THIS CAME OUT MUCH LONGER THAN I MEANT IT TO!! if im not careful people might think i love these trash neets or smth oh no

but ye! i hope this helps! or was at least an entertaining read haha❤️💙💚💜💛💖

Stormblood thoughts

There’s current 1,064 players in queue.

I tweeted doing tthis earlier so I figured I’d write it while i wait to log in. I figured it’d be nice to give one coherent summary of my thoughts i guess, because i feel like talking to friends makes us kind of piecemeal our opinions together and are something imprecise or vague about what specifically we enjoyed or not, so organizing my thoughts on the game so far might be nice.

First, i guess, aesthetic. I think it did great, i think it made zones that are interesting, easily navigated and most of all coherent. So many of Heavensward zones just had this slight incoherence to them that doesn’t make sense to me, as a natural or even semi-seamless part of a broader geographical area. Obviously the limitations of the game make it such that we only see a small part of these regions, but stormblood managed to make it feel like the zones captured a part of a broader picture that feels natural intertwined with the areas that aren’t shown as well as its neighboring regions. It takes care to be mindful of its geography, the paths and routes feel detailed enough to be realistic, but not so mcuh that they’re a chore to navigate. It deos a better job than heavensward in encouraging you to explore the regions, but it also has lots of areas to explore with nothing significant there. Little nooks and crannies with a suprising amount of detail put into them, but nothing of actual substance. EAch zone feels different and captures its feeling very well, so overall i love the experience it has, but not w/o some issue.

The new gear provided is a mixed bag. The new gear introduced is all gorgeous and detailed in subtle simple ways that doesn’t make it feel overly wrought or cluttered for the most part. The recycled models are unique ones that I enjoy seeing again, but some were used too much or without sufficient changes to the model or the class it was on. I think the 67 dungeon is the worst offender of this, bc it is slight recolors of doman gear without any departures from the blue gear models or associated classes. The first dungeon being dyeable, the i270 and i300 green weapons being the same model, as well as several grey gear repeated from HW grey gear is also a bit bland. That some of the high end glamor gear is also now gatherer/crafter gear feels weird, but not being able to glamor that unto combat gear changes that. Most of this is outweighed by the new gear looking absolutely gorgeous, but it feel like lost potential in some ways.

Second, i guess should be plot. I’ll do things I liked, then disliked, then things i’m optimistic and looking forward to.

I’ll begin by saying I loved the plot as a whole. It delivered more than i was expecting in being this exciting journey to the east kind of quest. It managed to tie this kind of fantasy theme with something more earthly by having the back drop being a campaign to liberate nations long occupied, and it managed to do it in a way that was reasonably well nuanced. I wasn’t expecting much in terms of how it talked about ideas like occupation, and liberty, and rule, and cooperation with one’s occupiers, but I think it mostly managed to delivery in these regards. I think the dialogue was mostly really good at a mix of banter and serious deliveries, and I think it did good at using both ends of conversation to give characterization to people in the quests as well as your own character. Its overall quality made me realize the chaff that heavensward still had, despite that itself being a great improvement over ARR. For the most part, it had likeable protagonists who showed human flaws, villains who played specific roles as villains and served that ends well, and companions who grew and explored the same world and struggles as you did as a player character. 

The things i didn’t like were mostly in a lack of conclusion, or willingness to come to certain conclusions and closure with the narrative and characterization given to the characters. Primarily, this is in characters like Yotsuyu and Zenos, but kinda sprinkled through out. The game is uncertain what it wants from these characters or what role they should play in the narrative, and sometimes feels like the ending is overly flattening or just a dramatic shift that weakens the impact of the personality cultivated over the course of the plot. 

In Yotsuyu’s case, she’s presented as this self-determined and violent pragmatist who begins to be given a sympathetic background, that’s ignored for a dramatic one-dimensional ending (yes, i know i know). That it fails to give her opportunity to explore and understand her in a way that makes her and her collaboration with the empire more sympathetic is a huge short coming, and makes it feel wasted as a time to develop as a character. 

Zenos is what i might see as a quinessential JRPG villain, with morbid and truly baseless, and irrational ideas of human violence and instinct, and in most cases this would just be boring, but his position and role makes this more interesting because of the power he commands and the influence he offers. How he manipulates and affects someone like Fordola and how he perceives his conflict with you is so out of touch with the reality of the rest of the narrative that it almost works because that divide is so clearly shown.... until the end, and you go to the menagerie, and he’s just... He monologues and becomes a dragon and you fight and none of what he did before make sense. His imperial position and rule and authority to command armies at his call are irrelevant, and his brutally primitive world view isn’t given a context except its own word. It becomes uninteresting to me, and never really gives a closure on why his view is wrong, only that in some ways he validates himself and dies.

In a similar vein, the game wants to make a parallel between Lyse and Fordola, as a characters who mirror each other, and all of the pieces are there, but the game doesn’t or isn’t interested in making something from it, but that may be somethin to be developed as more patches are released. But its also indicative as a whole where the game almost wants to say something or provide this kind of insight or even the vaguest of messages, and shirks away and fails to do so in any way, or with any substance. (This also brings up my disappointment in the Lakshmi detour, in that it is a regression in where the plot has gone with discussing the nature of primals and primal summoning, and the vaguest of messages that can be gleaned from the arc falls unto deaf ears of the main cast, and leaves a bad taste in my mouth, especially in the context of Lakshmi being a real hindu goddess that’s depicted with an all too similar appearance. Even with that issue aside, it fails to do anything interesting or substantive, even though every piece is supplied and presented within the game).

For all those grievances, this also means i have a lot that I want out of the game and that I think it has the potential to deliver on. The end of the quest begins to raise more and more questions on the nature of leadership, or rule and authority, and what it takes to provide these things. They’re situated there both at the beginning and the ending, and I think it has a lot of promise both for an overarching story and post-game , as well as exploration through side quests and so on.

I’m kinda running out of things to say that don’t feel like repetition, but thats that I guess. I could talk about mechanical things another time, but I wanted to put this down I guess. enjoy.

El Arca

Hello! Hello there! paused Castlevania for christian lion sex Castlevania would understand. but they just found the giant demon that I very much wish to smooch!!! Is the sound functioning? tis! Excellent! Oh, there we go Sound seems okay Well, in that case, I won't delay! Onto the lions we go. It was being... "funny" he wants a cursed kids show he should go watch donkey ollie agin Deleting my messages and so on OH NO NOAHS ARK Ahh, I see you're ahead of the game! I'm deeply suspicious already. did Saberspark ever upload his edited version that includes *all* the jokes You'll love it, night human. It's got lovingly rendered animal excrement. No, but this is the uncut version. oh good Jesus it does not help that they have regular human hands youre gonna see chicken strips, night When you say "chicken strips"... do you mean that a chicken strips? you'll see mr.... noseybonk.... jesus fucking christ And fire. Uh.... yeaah that's about normal for discord servers As you can see, we're off to a great start. prostitutes thinkin he's Zeus

Oh man you are NOT gonna like what happens to those trees when they get soaked in seawater. the children are brats she's dumping him lmao Good for her! This is perverse. "are you... the devil" It really is. Especially your grandparents' trees. -calmly- "that's enough :)" And all those slaves you went into debt to free. I mean hey, at least the debt will be gone too! "what do you mean, the fuck do I know about boatbuilding" That's something! "well then. we're all going to die!" "Oh, finally!" "haha, we're all going to die" Oh. Well, that answers that. this is.... surprisingly well done "No more, no less. I want lots of sickly, genetically doomed animals in this new world." Is this some kind of... antisemitic caricature Probably. "kind of making me feel inadequate" chicken strips! Still less self-centered and malevolent than Primus. Pffff Okay, so, chickens don't have... mammaries.  So is this some kind of weird roleplaying thing? Are the chickens furries?? He's summoned as many animals as he knows how to spell. Sorry, Xoloitzcuintli. this movine needs to slow the fuck down oh my god official favorite character I like how he spent valuable time illustrating each one. "I am SO going to this sex resort" She looks awfully happy for someone who just learned everyone she knows is going to die in a flood And the parents look awfully happy for people who just learned THEY'RE going to die in a flood they're going to spend the end times fragging I would. ...And did, come to think of it. Ayyyy. Her? Ahhh, a liar. I like him! I love her They're one another's beards for the sake of surviving the flood. And that's wonderful. True. Who made that chair. some of these animals are super uggo Wait, did both of those kangaroos have pouches? Hang on, were those--yeah, that They do! lesbians I support them The orangutans weren't the only ones to beat the system. Maybe they're pregnant That'd explain how come there's still kangaroos Ironically, if they got pregnant by different parents, they'd be the most genetically diverse species in the world. *partners Yes, exactly! "what was that last one 8)" ...Want to know a fun fact about kangaroos :) that they have multiple vaginas? ...Yes. that still fucks me up Their genitals are positioned in reverse? Oh, that. All this out of a patch of trees? They are PROUD of that model Y'know, you'd think that a LOT of other people would have survived.  There was more than one boat in the world at the time this is set Okay so what ARE the carnivores going to eat idk why they call her fat. she's got an ass that just don't quit and I think that lion;s a fool for choosing some other lioness But the other one has tiddies.  Lion tiddies. And a clever mouth, apparently. Where's the pig's partner? he is a bi disaster The male lion, I mean he is He'd be dead after that. But what ARE the predators going to eat There was a single, doddering old lion in the group. Maybe they're going to divide him up? Write up her report. "Write up my report" = "Legitimately weighing my choices between mating with you or a watery death." Harsh but fair. Ahhh, Perfect Storm-ing it. Well well well. "See, I'd rather room with that tiger" Hello! Hello! Hello, sorry I'm late--is this that weirdo Noah's Ark furry disaster?! It is! It IS Damn "hey do you guys hear music" ....Carrion. *Dear Unicron, are they feeding on the drowned corpses of the dead?* .... oh hey it's the vampires' plan from castlevania Oh hey, that's a possibility They bob right by and they just scoop them up. It makes as much sense as anything else Although, after forty days... reptile room Heheheheh those snakes just wanted to mlem!!!! hahahah "woah that is NOT the letter I got" okay well that explains how the carnivores arre geting fed FEESH Oh right I guess the carnivores are eating fish Fish aren't people! Considering they haven't broken out into an orgy, I'd say they're showing surprising restraint. a least he feels bad about it She has lipstick THATS THE SECOND TIME They... both have pouches. The good ship Bad Decisions in action The kangaroos got away with it. thats way more than two chickens though I guess to be fair eggs are necessary "THEN we can eat them" FISH AND EGGS YOU DUMB LASS this dude has the right idea What...w as that what is ANY of this Who even knows? Where's your *one* female? I like that he's buds with the pig trying to think of what a panlion would look like given ligers and tigons exist she's giving u the key to her vag I wonder where the male panther is https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/39/Leopon01.jpg Found some. oh cute! Huh. In this scene: shadows are rendered. I'm sorry is her name "panty" Panthy, I think, but that's still BAD How charming and necessary. Wow, what a necessary scene those jerks should be thankful the raccoons helped them out All that craftsmanship and you couldn't rig the piles and piles of excrement to dump neatly into the water? nah that'd be too easy Ease of cleanup and sticking it to your god at the same time. Bah I bet he's not even dead that's three Oh no, they kicked the ladder down.  How will he ever get out now he pinched a tiger's rear Does it even matter who steers, I mean none of them know where they're going "quick, smear this blood on your tits" lock him in the slammer oh so that's why it matters whether they can steer Where's he going to pause or rest? ... this is the worst haka I've ever seen doc I'm begging you to look up real hakas after this film to cleanse my eyes Will do. hahahah That was dark. "surrender, we can have a threesome" how convenient Already so many rabbits Monarchy or cannibalism.  The only two choices. "You're here even though you got to this point in your life without knowing fire does that!" "did that lion just look at me?" holy shit lmao It gets caught in a southwesterly breeze and the ship goes up in flames. hukkhhkhkjhjk well the polar bears will be fine! Right? well I guess it woulkdnt be a south american made film without a huge party at the end Uh They're.  Making her cage dance?

"We are smarter than everyone and that's why we're building the MURDERCOASTER" That one got to live. that kid's smart Apathetic Child is the smartest one in the video. Well that's not good jesus christ is that blood It is. They certainly did show those idiot mathematicians, physicists, and engineers. JESUS CHRIST Jesus Questions about the inspection process. Something special. "We all have something special to hold onto." Like a severed head. christ I'm gonna bump out for now. take caare all! Goodnight! Good night! Wait, did we watch the roller coaster one? I know I've seen THIS one... hmmmm Oh!  With the giant hole! The giant body trench? Yes! Glorious! In that case, I'm all out of light notes to end on. Suggestions? SNL What's That Name? We could just browse this channel a little bit and look for one we haven't seen! All the ones I've seen have been... fun. This, then we'll browse the channel. I'm for it. God Hahhahaha Ohhh boy Finish that thought God They all look good tbh. True, true. Fire.  I like it. Now I'm slightly nostalgic for Interface on Wheels. Do tell! Ohhhh I've forgotten everything about the game save that my city was called that. Just imagine driving through this place I will not. Well then. Drive into the Void.

VERISIMILITUDE I've known medbay Eradicons that would if they could. Amazing. Oh Boy As a doctor, I can verify every single thing about this. I love it. I love their walk animations.  It's like they're on roller skates. It does! or those wheelieshoes Heelies! yes! those. 24/7 Are those bloodstains Oh yes. Uh oh! I like the blow dryer next to her bed. Amazing. The only note worth ending on, something terrible happening to Grace. You might even call it... a Grace note. ;) Terrible. Shame on you. I love it. It's what I'm here for! It is, in fact, your saving grace HAH! :D Although, frankly, I don't think ANYONE'S saving Grace. She had her chance to run. She sure did. Well--thanks for the stream!  It's been a great time, as usual. :) Thank YOU for gracing me with your presence! Ha! Good night! good night! Good night!

I think that Marlize and “Dawn” will help team flash create the inhibitor, marlize will probably put it in Devoes chair. I’m sure they’ll use ralph but I’m not sure how, shapeshift into Devoe to get to Marlize, marlize to get to Devoe? What do you think?

I think Devoe will use Ralph to shapeshift back to himself and try to win over Marlize that way, but she’ll actually help save Ralph and defeat her husband.

I was wondering what your thoughts were about Ralph’s development? The show seems to be devoting a lot of time to him, at the expense, in my opinion, of Cisco, Caitlin & Iris. I just wonder what you think about why the writers seem to be developing him so much?

For the reason mentioned above. I guess they’re preparing us for him to play a big role in Devoe’s downfall, I just hope we’re done with major stories for him outside of that.

It’s funny, to me the season started to get better once we go to the Devoe episode. I liked what was before, but they overshot on the humor and Barry’s lightness wasn’t balanced by anything. I think there was a lot of heart in the last 3 eps, just with different characters each time. 11, Barry/Iris, Barry and Dave, Barry and Joe 12, Joe/Cecile, Barry and Dave 13, Barry and Becky, Ralph and KF.

You’re right about the heart being directed to a different place this week. I think it’s a matter of those of us who didn’t care as much for the dynamics that were highlighted focusing more on the lack of the ones we do care about. Such as Joe and Iris not really having any big moments together since the premiere.

(For the record, I actually enjoyed the Barry/Becky scenes and the Ralph/Frost one. My biggest issues with the episode were that Devoe’s plan doesn’t make sense yet, Ralph repeated the same story beat at 4.11, and the other metas were wasted except for Becky.)

I wouldn’t trade a single one of Barry and Iris moments for a longer kiss,lol (ok maybe that moment in 2a where he told her she wouldn’t understand, lol). I have never seen an actor portray so well the little nuances of the way a man looks at the woman he loves. Never. Go watch those scenes in slo mo people. Breath taking. Both Grant and Candice are doing a fantastic job 

ME EITHER. Grant and Candice have chemistry oozing in all their scenes, and they bring the sweet innocence as well as the (restrained) fire. And Candice also evokes the wondrous heart eyes beautifully, definitely playing Iris as a woman who can’t believe her man is so good lol.

@ “can of worms” anon:

Hopefully I just found a compromise!

First of all, using tongue for actors is not normal nor expected(there are ways to make it look more than it is). People need to stop with the conspiracy theories and stop trying to project things on CP and GG or people close to them that aren’t there. Not 2 months ago people were all, ooh Wa was kissing the longest during the outside wedding. If people are really tagging CP and GG, shame on them. Doesn’t CP especially get enough from antis, you want to add this too?

Just check Cisco and Cynthia’s kisses for tips on how to make it look like you’re doing more than you are, lol. And you’re right, we have short-term memory loss because everyone was celebrating how long the WA kiss was when the wedding BTS footage came out.

you don’t have to have lust to have a kiss that’s more than a peck though. the constant pecking is starting to make me think they just want to get the kisses over with as fast as possible.

You and I have different definitions of pecks as well, but that courtroom kiss looked soft and lingering to me. Not like they wanted it over with at all.

My question is why did s@nvers on SG and Olic*ty on Arr*w both have there major ships have love scenes this season but TF has not? I understand that TF has a pg rating but I believe SG does too, so I can’t help but wonder if the cw isn’t comfortable in this polarizing climate to show an interracial couple have that type of intimacy.

I don’t recall O/F getting a love scene this season, and in fact have seen their fans complaining about exactly that. A/M had hands clasping before fading to black because that was Floriana’s last episode, but I certainly wouldn’t complain if W/A got a nice moment like that to mark Iris getting pregnant or something rofl. The thing is, they don’t show it unless it’s somehow significant.

I doubt it’s multiple people that are this upset about the kisses. I believe it’s the same person (maybe two or three) that keeps sending anons to different blogs and posts in different forums. The words they use (“They are like roommates!” Where???) make me believe that. And I completely agree with you and I don’t get how people don’t see it because it’s very noticeable, they have had longer kisses but the camera panned away. GG and CP have no control over that.

True, since it’s anonymous, it can often be a few people numerous times. And yeah, even in 3.09, the camera went behind a window during a nice ass kiss, then cut out.

That forum your anon mentioned is FULL of O/F fans. I’ve had to stop reading it when the wedding was announced. They’d do anything to downplay WA, especially to prop up SA/EBR and their “chemistry”. I wish fans realized that every kiss is appropriate to the scene. Making out in front of your wife’s dad is NOT appropriate. If fans want to get mad they should at least get mad at the right people (writers) that don’t give GG and CP the opportunity to do more. WA should have had a private moment

Pretty much. The writers are not currently invested in showcasing the physical relationship between WA, but we know it’s there. It’s not like they don’t have a sex life just because we don’t see it.
