I'm sorry but,

Nah, Ms. Caroline "Lesbitron 5000" Bartley is 1000% in the right to be in love with Willow. I'm sorry, that face right there is her poor little meow meow, her pookie, her moonlight and her wife (Willow is unaware of this fact but that's nbd). I know for a fact she kisses that mole beneath her eye and kisses her brow when it scrunches up in annoyance. That frown is an invitation, and Caroline can not ever resist the pull of those eyes. That woman is her WIFE, and Flutterpage is their daughter (again, Willow is unaware of this).

This is actually pretty funny because I received this ask before I even updated the game and I told my friends that, before I even got to know the story, I got to know there's lesbians.

He said "at this point, why are you surprised?"

SHE'S SO SAD BUT LIKE

She's so sad and uh, my Lord what's the word. Melancholic? She's such a cutie but like, in a pitiful pathetic way.

I still haven't met Caroline, I'm in part 5 so I don't know much about her but good God I bet she's a huge lesbian because if I saw Willow I would do a flip.

She looks angy cat.

...Lesbitron 5000...

But also, magical girl anime is the only genre I know where you can shove anything in aesthetic/theme wise and I won't question it. Animals? Cool. The 4 Seasons? Nice. Candy/ Dessert deco? Rock on. Fairytales? Yes. Astrology? Light it up girls. Literal "Magic Girls"? Groundbreaking. Anything goes; and that's what's truly magical. I just, I really love cute magical girl anime 😂

for real there’s so much variety in the genre it’s inspiring and never stops to be entertaining!

That moment you unfollow one person and all those gross Discourse posts vanish, ain't nothing like it.

@zenpachii how does it feel to be funny as fuck

brainrotting about willowrine rn and i started to think of that teacup scene and. what its implying.

caroline grabbed a teacup from willow's kitchen with her ribbon and then proceeded to take a sip from it only moments after.

this either means:

a.) in those few seconds, caroline spedran through putting hot water and a teabag into the cup, and is now just basically sipping hot water because the tea hasn't gotten a chance to steep

b.) she didn't put anything. she's just pretending to take a sip

c.) willow already has tea made but that's not funny. but we can salvage this with caroline fumbling the tea kettle and spilling tea everywhere in a hurry to pull her ribbon trick off and look cool™ in front of her old rival/crush/whatever the fuck's going on with them

Side note, I ended up stumbling upon Lucy/Simone twitter, and I gotta be honest I see the vision!

Like, at first, you think it's your typical struggling assistant/eccentric boss based on the trailer. But then you actually *get* to the chapter, and it turns out nah nah nah. Simone is extremely used to working under Lucy and, in fact, understands how she thinks very well. She knows exactly what to say to keep Lucy motivated and on task during times of high stress and knows her limits. Simone also never forgets that Lucy isn't "human," so there are things that she might not understand, but she'd appreciate knowing the answer to.

Lucy, vice versa, trusts Simone implicitly. She tells Simone her plans and knows that even if Simone doesn't "get it," she'll do everything in her power to see it done. She also doesn't question Simone's insights or dismiss her questions, showing a level of respect befitting towards an assistant. Simone is Lucy's subordinate, but (probably because she's an Awakened) she doesn't treat Simone as actually beneath her.

Which is why I think that even if Lucy is "on vacation" in Vertin's suitcase, Simone is there too. We never saw Simone lose her position as Lucy's assistant, so clearly, that's still her job. When asked, Simone clarifies that on all official documentation, she is listed as Lucy's assistant, not the director of Laplace's assistant. So until Lucy herself deems her presence unnecessary, by her side, she will stay. Lucy nods and will immediately explain the benefits of keeping Simone with her and that Vertin is free to request her assistance in administrative duties if need be. Vertin wisely realizes their relationship is like Madame Z and Toothfairy's and wishes them a pleasant time in the suitcase and to let her or Sonnetto know if there is anything they need before leaving, making a mental note that despite her words Lucy just seems happier having Simone at her side.

YES

YES YES YES YOU SEE IT TOO

Lucy x Simone is an interesting ship because despite being Boss x Secretary, it's a break in the usual formula, and it's also not just quirky boss and tired secretary either, they both understand each other and know how to keep the other going.

It's such a good ship and I love it so much I need people to talk to it about me as passionately as we do about every other ship. I think it's pretty underrated.

Lucy is certainly non human, and it shows a lot in everything she does, yet Simone is never truly bothered by it. She doesn't question Lucy because she knows what she's doing, so much different from everyone around her who views her as someone who doesn't understand humanity.

It's just so good man, I think most R1999 ships break an already established formula in the most interesting way and it should be pointed out more, it makes them more compelling and endearing even if you don't ship it.

That being said

HELL YEAH WE GOT A NEW LUCY X SIMONE ENJOYER GOD IS GOOD

[magicbyhalves]

I had no clue you could get sick (thought being half genie negates that chance) but you're still human so I'm not surprised either. Hope you get better!

“Yeah, it’s... it’s still a thing that can happen. Not often, but...”

She stops, her nose twitching. After a few seconds, she lets out a little sigh.

“Sorry, thought there was another one on the way. Yeah. I will, just might take a while...”

Hey I work at a Toys R Us and I can confirm we have *not* received word of Rogue One tsum tsum's being released any time soon and on the flip side have not received any to be put on the floor.

Thanks for the info! I didn’t think there’d been any but I wasn’t sure >

Guess I’ll just have to hope for an announcement

[tomatomagica]

I once told my brother I loved cute magical girl shows unironically because they all, at least once, say: "you don't need powers to be a magical girl" and that makes me feel cool as hell

i know that feeling!!!

[asynca]

Auntie did you get to see Charlie's Angels from 2019? It's got bad a** women in it doing bad a** things

I am SUPER bad at seeing movies when they come out because I’m not a big fan of cinemas. But thanks for reminding me to put it back on my list for when it’s released to stream! 

[nyamcattt]

[nerdgasrnz]

I main Lucio because at least once a week I know I will knock a whole team off a cliff and dance as I watch them fall to their deaths

OMG LMAO

[neni-has-ascended]

The translation job for the Eng release, in my opinion, is done way too harsh. The characters have almost zero compassion for anyone their not acquainted with and I was genuinely torn on what to think. I get that teens can be mean but they were straight up cruel to ppl they barely knew (ie Makoto) just because she was a on to them. Makoto even says "Think about how I feel" when confronting them. I was shocked at how unsympathetic Ann and Ryuji were to the possibility that Makoto was being used.

Well, the P5 characters were kinda harsher than the IT in general in Japanese as well (which I blame on the Tokyo setting; the city’s culture is a lot more unforgiving than that of the rest of the country); however, from how you make it sound, yeah, I’m sure the translation probably exaggerated that... But I shouldn’t make a definite opinion on that just yet. 

I’ll wait until July, when I see my sister play the English version, before I write a proper review of how the translation differs from the original.
