I do wonder how many of the most harsh readings of F/sn's handling of sakura originate from people who watched Zero first

there's a lot of stuff Zero sets out that could change how you read nasu's writing for the worse. I can definitely imagine how someone whose first exposure to sakura was through urobuchi's writing might come away less willing to take nasu's writing in good faith

[toskarin]

I do a surprising amount of urobuchi-defending for someone who sucks air through my teeth every time he opens his mouth in an interview, but the way he handled sakura's abuse in Zero (along with the meta-context of how he talked about it in Zero Material) is the kind of thing that makes me just want to stop talking about Zero forever

[toskarin]

with most authors, assuming you're an attentive reader, you'll find multiple readings of their work that you can evaluate. you never really know which one is "right" but it's usually best to take things in good faith

the problem with reading things by urobuchi is that you'll see a worst possible faith reading, try to take a good faith reading, sit down to read his commentary years down the line, and see him include at least three instances per series of "yeah lol [different team member each time] had to talk me down from treating [female character] worse"

Will you do art of any of the archangels?

If only it was easy to figure out how many they are and who actually are they! So many versions vary

If anyone wants to let me know, feel free

[lightheaded-dullahan]

Now if no one minds-- TLDR: When in doubt, Michael is your archangel of the hour. The rest work in shifts. If anything here is wrong, someone with more knowledge can correct me!

What exactly is an 'Archangel'?

So, our first hurdle here is "what". And yep unfortunately our answers are already gonna be "well, it depends".

The earliest reference to the actual TERM "Archangel" is from "De Coelesti Hierarchia" by Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite (circa. 5th century AD). This is where we get the 'hierarchies of angels' for the Christian canon (at least, its beginnings). Except Archangels are the second-lowest level of angel according to this hierarchy, only surpassing the generic angels themselves. So, why do we consider them the highest? A mix of the name (as it means 'chief angel'), and everyone's "favorite" poet, John Milton. And a wonderful little thing called "translation induced confusion".

So, what's the confusion?

When we look at the text of the Book of Enoch - everyone's favorite apocalyptic Jewish text - is where we get mentions of the highest ranking angels (including Michael, Raphael, Gabriel, and Uriel) with the title of "prince". Other angels with this title are Raguel, Saraqael, and Remiel. In english, they are referred to most often as "archangels" hence why we have this conundrum.

Alright so how MANY are there?

This depends on tradition. Within the bible proper (note: only in the christian canon), only Michael is used in reference to the term. So the rest is just - all over the place.

For (most) Catholics, it's only 3. Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael. While not part of the official canon, Uriel and Jeremiel are popular as well.

Within Eastern Orthodox there's technically thousands but only seven are venerated by name. Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Selaphiel (or Sealtiel - same angel, different spellings), Jegudiel (or Samuel - very different names but same iconography), Barachiel, and sometimes just to make it eight and really fuck around is Jeremiel.

In Coptic Orthodox we have Michael, Gabriel, Rephael, Suriel, Sadakiel, Sarathiel, and Ananiel.

In Ethiopian Orthodox, we have Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Phanuel, Raguel, and Ramiel.

The Protestant bible only includes Michael and Gabriel.

Anglicans however, recognize Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, and Jeremiel.

Lutherans focus on Michael and Gabriel, with Raphael sometimes showing up.

Jehovah's Witnesses and Seventh-day Adventists have a fun "Michael the Archangel is actually Jesus" viewpoint. The LDS Church meanwhile only views Michael as one, but also that he was Adam. And Gabriel was Noah. No one knows who Raphael was but apparently he was also important. Literally no one else but these guys say this.

In Islam, we have Michael (Mika'il), Gabriel (Jibra'il), Raphael (Israfil - the only one not named in the Quran), and Azrael (Azra'il). Nice and simple.

In Judaism...OH BOY.

As mentioned earlier, from the Book of Enoch we have Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Sariel, Raguel, and Remiel.

In the Apocalypse of Moses, we have Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, and ... Joel. Who might be Metatron.

In the Kabbalah, we have far too many. Oh yeah here's where the real rabbit hole begins. There's traditionally twelve, including our main reoccuring ones, but guess what. That's right. We also have another eleven or twelve that share similar associations. Some of the traditional twelve ALSO overlap. It's fine. I would need a whole other post to go into the ones here.

Metatron is also here, sometimes. He continues to be an odd one.

So what's the final count (rhoughly)

Michael - 11

Gabriel - 10

Raphael - 9

Uriel - 6

Jeremiel - 3

Raguel - 2

Ramiel - 2

Sariel - 2

Metatron - ??

Everyone Else - 1 (give or take)

(Look Tumblr has limited colors so those three have to share).

So the final say is generally : Michael and Gabriel are almost certainly both in there, Raphael is common, and Uriel shows up enough. So just have fun with it and don't worry about it too much because it's going to be like arguing translations when both of you don't speak the same language.

✍️Kisara Nanjo?

I have no clue who this character is but I had a lot of fun drawing her~

Send me a ✍ and a character and I’ll draw the character horribly on MS Paint.

[300iqprower]

I ACTUALLY KNOW THIS ONE WTF!

SO! She’s from this 2006 anime called Kenichi The Mightiest Disciple/Kenichi: History’s Strongest Disciple, which is basically about this loser getting the absolute shit kicked out of him by 5 different martial arts masters because his crush is the grandmaster’s daughter and he got roped by her into enrolling as a student there bc the karate club bullies the hell out of him. That’s basically episode 1, from there on it goes on to be about fighting a street gang, and then the anime got cancelled after its second season but the manga has it escalate further to be about criminal underground fight pits and such with this evil ying yang guy working behind the shadows to do some Satsui No Hado type stuff. The series is actually pretty damn good; I wouldn’t say it’s amazing or a must watch largely because of some very stereotypically cringe tropes in regard to female characters (you know the ones, they were in borderline every remotely shonen anime back then), but it’s got a cult following that I am very much a part of largely due to its realistic approach to martial arts. All but the last handful of anime episodes in fact are fully rooted in things like IRL martial arts history and proper human anatomy which is ironic given some of its typically anime character design with the techniques used and martial arts lessons learned all being real things at most exaggerated for effect. They start to introduce mysticism at the very end and there’s the Satsui no Hado stuff that the manga continues with but that itself is also rooted in taoist philosophy and the mysticism never remotely enters the realm of your typical “magic kung fu” stuff, usually used for things like battle trances and superhuman physical feats as opposed to genuine magic or lasers and such. It also doesn’t let its firm root in real martial arts stop it from getting creative as hell like with Siegfried a guy who dance-fights while opera singing. If you can look past those generic cringe tropes I wholeheartedly recommend watching the anime at least - there are quite a few episodes that to this day are VERY dear to me.

BUT TO SKIP TO THE PART ABOUT KISARA, she’s the first real threat that comes up in the series as the lowest ranking member of that street gang I mentioned. Specifically, she’s the 8th Fist of Ragnarok, though her entire fighting style revolves around Tae Kwon Do kicks and she’s a goddamn badass who spends her spare time taking care of stray cats and practicing her kicks by smashing cinderblocks out of the air. She’s one of a handful of early villains to also switch to the heroes’ side, and handily my favorite character alongside another such character Takeda, a boxer who was her subordinate before being the first of those early villains to switch sides. Both sadly remain strictly side characters in the anime, and in the manga only stuff (as is typical of this sort of series) they only become more irrelevant as the series escalates, so all the more reason to go for the anime if you check it out.

Fun fact: This outfit is actually her OVA design! In the main anime, she has dark red hair with green eyes and a red t-shirt in place of the orange jacket; the shirt has her Raganrok title of “Valkyrie” written across it. Personally I like her with red hair more but I prefer the OVA outfit. Both have her one legged jeans as it’s pretty much the defining trait of her aspect, intentionally ripped to make her front leg more maneuverable in combat.

[coshayphinelove]

I know I haven't posted regularly on this blog in years but I'm not seeing a whole lot of posts on this site about what's happening in Minneapolis right now. And the posts I am seeing are not covering the scope of it. I'm genuinely surprised because tumblr is usually where I find out about things organically through my feed. So I'm making a post about it.

A brief summary of events, from someone who pays attention and also lives here, best taken with a grain of salt and some fact checking:

2020: George Floyd is murdered by Minneapolis police. There are weeks of protests about it. It makes national news. Protests happen in DC. The infamous Trump and his bible photo shoot happens.

2024: Gov. Tim Walz is Kamala Harris' running mate in the presidential election. He starts the "they're just weird" thing. Is folksy, Trump personally hates him.

November 2025: ICE starts showing up to "crack down" on "illegal immigrants" in our Somali community. I may remember the numbers wrong, but something like 90% of our Somali neighbors are either naturalized or were born here. People distribute ICE whistles and are on high alert. Localized to the twin cities.

December 2025: Nick Shirley is paid by a bunch of MN Republicans to do an exposé on daycare fraud. I didn't hear much about this. All I really know is this was an ongoing investigation that MN officials were already taking care of and some of the guilty parties have already gone to court from a COVID era food assistance program. Mostly, if not all, legal US citizens. He did a really bad job at doing journalism and just showed up to day cares with a camera crew and went "YUP nobody's here" as if they weren't in lock-down procedure because some fuck ass white men showed up with camera equipment that could easily be mistaken for guns. I believe. I will fact check all of this and will correct myself in a reblog if necessary. (source but not all the details that I remember hearing about but they said there was no recorded evidence of fraud)

Conservative internet explodes. Kristi Noem sends a mess of agents. I know it's more than a thousand more. They call it Operation Metro Surge. They are going everywhere. There are protests. People try to interrupt the arrests. It's a lot.

1/7/2026: Renee Nicole Good is shot by an ICE agent in the middle of a protest. A few blocks away from where George Floyd was killed. Broad daylight. In front of a crowd. While she was following instructions to turn her vehicle around. Jonathan Ross, the piece of shit Nazi who did it, was recording on his phone the whole time, switched his phone to his non dominant hand so he could more effectively shoot her in the face from 2 feet away. Claims self defense, several angles immediately disprove him. He releases his video, he calls her a "fucking bitch" as her corpse drives away. Does not help him at all. (source) He has not been seen since. Some photos/reports exist of a bunch of agents showing up to his house and taking some tubs and art away. His wife is an immigrant. (source but it's the daily mail so grain of salt.)

Not hours later they go raid a school and tear gas a bunch of kids. (source). Minneapolis has switched to distance learning. I'm not sure about St. Paul.

The last week: There are up to 3,000 ICE agents here. Keep in mind Minneapolis and St. Paul only have 600 or fewer police officers each. So these dudes are roaming in packs. It's 2-4 dudes to a car and 2-5 cars per pack. People are "commuting with" ICE agents to honk and alert people that they're there. People are going on patrols with their neighbors.

ICE is no longer asking "are you a citizen." They are simply walking up to you and taking you into custody. They are going door to door. They have started just breaking the door down if you don't comply. They are driving recklessly to just grab pedestrians and drivers alike (source). People are afraid to go get groceries. It's all over the state. I am learning names of cities in places I thought were just factory farm land and I've lived here my whole life because they're doing raids there. I had to text my family in the suburbs because I saw reports of my small little hometown an hour away getting door knocks today.

It's insane and I am not doing it justice. There are thousands of masked federal agents roaming around all of Minnesota with no warrant or specific goal. They are just trolling around looking for people. They are detaining anyone and everyone. They are beating people. They are pepper spraying people. They are kidnapping people. They are acting unconstitutionally, aggressively, and unpredictably. They are creating situations that are dangerous so that they can try to justify beating or shooting their way out. I will run an errand and then get fed a tiktok that was shot from the Cub Foods that I just left and there's 20+ ICE vehicles parked there now. They're taking people from work, from day care, from schools, from shopping centers.

Iceout.org tracks ice sightings. This is a screen shot with the date set to 12/1/2025.

And from today.

They have cut off SNAP and WIC benefits. Just for us. Not any other state, just Minnesota. They're saying it's because of fraud but I think it's because they hate that we use federal funds to give free breakfast and lunch to every public school student.

And this is breaking just now, 1/13/2026: the DOJ is trying to investigate Renee Good's widow. 4 people have resigned about it. (source). I don't even want to read the article to see what they're saying.

So that's a brief history.

Unicorn Riot is doing a lot of good reporting and they don't seem to have the spin that a lot of local news stations will have where they downplay everything. This article specifically goes into a lot of the specific instances of brutality.

It's also a rumor on TikTok that all of the videos of ICE and protests and the such and the like are being geo locked. So my feed is all footage of people being detained and talking about the "commuting" they're doing and what they're seeing but people outside of the state are not seeing it. So if you're also on that infernal app, try searching for Minneapolis or Minnesota and see what you see. I'm kind of curious if this is true. Because I've been living and breathing ICE and doomsday prepping content for a week. I'm sure those two topics aren't connected.

I don't really know what my goal with this post is. I'm tired. I'm in the first ring of suburbs, so it's been pretty quiet. But I have friends in south Minneapolis. And I'm worried for them. And I know it's a matter of time before my quiet pocket is affected. Because they're coming door to door.

Pay attention to Minnesota, I think an example is being made of us.

[crafting-and-tea]

I've been monitoring this closely because I have friends in the area, and because I think every city in the country is at risk of having the feds come to do what they're doing in Minnesota, and we all need to get ready.

There are some Twin Cities activists who have been very clearly laying out what they're doing, and why it's effective at slowing down ICE. It sounds like all you really need, is neighborhood group chats where people can let one another know when and where ICE is present, and then people show up, start recording, and blowing whistles, and then ICE will leave again more often than not. This VERY SHORT thread by a Twin Cities activist outlines what to do and how it works.

Will Stancil (@whstancil.bsky.social)

Getting a lot of messages. A lot are like "Can I come help?" (appreciated, but unless you know the area very well, probably not THAT useful)

Also: Minnesota Public Radio has been doing great coverage of what's happening, and the local NBC affiliate has some excellent interviews with activists who were arrested and detained for hours.

And finally, some good news: the courts restored SNAP funding.

Pokemon ZA continues the trend started with Legends of Arceus of trying to have biting social commentary but actually just being fascist

[300iqprower]

*holding up mic* Hello internet user @awobbles would you like to explain why you think it's nonproblematic to release a game in 2025 where the hero uses violence to stop peaceful protest by the citizens against unjust government policy carried out at the behest of a megacorporation?

[awobbles]

pokemon battles shouldn’t be considered violence against protesters, unless the protester is being physically harmed. I haven’t gotten to that part of the story yet, but you can’t just expect every government in a story to be perfect. There’s been shitty governments in past pokemon games. The reason I said “why do we need to bring politics into games” is because video games are supposed to be fun, not problematic. They’re supposed to be a break from the real world. Gamefreak wasn’t trying to be problematic. They were creating a story.

Btw stopping a protest with a Pokemon battle is nothing like what ICE does. Also ICE is an American issue. This region is based on France.

Also not all art should be seen as political.

[300iqprower]

So you admit then that what happens is we, a tourist, go and break up a peaceful protest (violently or not) in order to help out an unelected megacorproation who has been enacting public policies against the majority population's wishes, hence the protest in the first place.

Also if "this is France" why do we break up the protest by ganging up on the protestors with the local YAKUZA?

Also also, it's *hilarious* that you think police brutality against protestors is not as relevant to France as it is to America

"They were creating a story" a story that by definition is informed by the author's beliefs. By simple things as what they generally consider "right" and "wrong", so that the story can have a "hero" who solves what can be considered a "problem". Hence all art is political you fucking nonce.

[awobbles]

did you not see my reblog saying I no longer wanted to have this conversation. Also, I’m not saying that the mega corporation is in the right. I was also not saying that police brutality isn’t only an issue in America. I was saying that ICE doesn’t describe what is happening in that part of the story and that it wouldn’t make sense since ICE is an American thing. The police and ICE aren’t the same thing.

[maela-the-menace]

Hey I don’t mean to step in where I’m not really involved but yea, basically all art is in some way political/relevant/meaningful to the time it was made. Anything released in a timeframe is going to have traces of what’s happening etched into the very soul of its being. Name any piece of media and you could probably find some detail about it that relates to the political or social climate that it was made in. Also, most pieces of media could definitely be twisted into controversy somehow, especially games I believe, as the actions taken are things you yourself choose to do and whether they’re painted in a positive or negative light can definitely shape the way you view acts you’ve committed.

Anyways I’m gonna dip out now I wasn’t involved in this discussion in the first place

[awobbles]

what about The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe? It wasn’t political, was it?

sorry that’s just the first thing that came to mind. I’m not arguing with you btw.

[maela-the-menace]

Hmmm, yea I can’t actually seem to find much covering political themes in The Raven!

I did find one book, but I needed “access” to read it past the abstract. I’m guessing it was paywalled. The abstract had the claim that it was inspired by a dictatorship but then had like. No supporting evidence for it that I could access. From my(admittedly skimmed) read and the little bit of research I did it seems to be about a descent into madness, which is more in the social climate category than political

Good point!

[lightheaded-dullahan]

Im sorry have either of you ever *read* The Raven? Or any work by Poe?

I understand both of you are children by your bios - but also Poe's works are *exceedingly* political.

Even if you pull out "but Poe didn't mean for the poem to be allegorical", that does not deny the politics that went into it nor the analysis of others.

Not to mention that social climate and political climate are inherently intertwined.

Politics is not simply "the government" - politics is the process of observing the choices made by humans (and non human) groups. This includes - lo and behold, art. All art is inherently political because that is literally what any art analysis is.

Why did Poe choose the Raven? Because he thought they were on par with parrots with being able to speak. Why does the protagonist continue to ask the Raven questions, knowing full well that it will always reply the same? Because the protagonist is fixated on sinking deeper into his loss, because he has begun to find pleasure in it despite the hurt.

This is not a "no joy and whimsy" moment - this is purely looking at the text that the game delivers, and analyzing it. Why does the game have you break up peaceful protesters with your pokemon (instigating a fight) instead of an alternative solution? There are many answers you can give.

You can perfectly play a game and not read into the text - but you can not claim video games have no politics. Trying to argue against someone deliberately analyzing the text with "well I don't think it's political" is going to stone wall both sides.

Gains 10~20 critical stars.

Notes

Something different from the usual modern fiction fan-Servants on this blog: taking inspiration from @300iqprower 's Hypothetical Rank-Up series (which sadly seems to be either over or on hiatus), here's my take on an upgrade for everyone's favourite Enforcer!

If there's one major issue with Bazett's gameplay, it's having to rely on the enemy's AI for her Noble Phantasm: there's little more depressing when you're using her than setting up her NP and then having the enemy use non-targeting skills three times in a row. The upgrade to her second skill aims to fix this issue, by applying Skill Seal to one enemy and guaranteeing your NP will be applied that turn: the turn upgrades to the other effects are mostly to improve her general performance, since nowadays it's unusual for a modern Servant to have buffs that only last one turn.

Lorewise, the upgrade is inspired by the Ath nGabla magecraft she used during the climax of her debut event. As Caren said "any warrior who draws that formation can no longer flee in defeat, and any warrior who sees it cannot retreat": the application of Skill Seal enforces the "cannot retreat" clause by ensuring that the battle is unavoidable.

The upgrade to her third skill, on the other hand, is a more standard strengthening for quality of life: the duration of the Debuff Immunity is extended to make it more useful, and the new buff removal resistance will help ensure Bazett will go into battle with all her buffs.

[prettycottonmouthlamia]

I don't want to say the person saying this had no point but complaining that Barghest is flanderized into becoming a wife is only like a quarter true.

It misses how important love is to her and her character. She is doomed to love, and doomed to lose those she loves. Love ultimately still motivates her. She wants to find someone she can love. She carries so much trauma from her love.

It's no wonder people want her to have a good ending at the end of all of this. People want to draw and write her, ultimately, in love, happy, and safe. So yeah, on some level, demure housewife Barghest is sometimes exaggerated but it's only a mild flanderization of a pretty natural point of fandom discussion.

[lightheaded-dullahan]

I hope everyone knows when my friends send me posts like this I usually aim to kill.

TLDR: I know we all want the big buff lady to eat us - but for her that's a constant horror she lives with.

I am including this image of the tags purely as I am using both the original posts and a set of reblogged tags to make my point.

Let's begin with the first bit here -

"She is doomed to love, and doomed to lose those she loves".

She is not doomed to love, she is *desperate* to love. There is a big difference here. She is horrendously lonely because of her curse — to constantly seek out strength and consume it. As a result, she seeks out strong partners to specifically eat them. Her wanting to love is in SPITE of this curse, and why it specifically causes her so much grief. This is also why she says she "taught herself to love weaker beings" — as she hoped them being much weaker than her would counteract the curse.

We can see with Adonis - her deceased lover in the Lostbelt - who she personally nursed back to health after finding him near death, that he was extremely weak. And she loved him BECAUSE of that - because while he had no strength to offer her physical or magically , he would listen to her and comfort her when she desperately needed it. This is why his death nearly destroyed her before the story began - because despite everything seemingly being in antithesis to her curse, she still *ate him*. Because her instincts as the Black Dog instead drove her to consume *everything* in order to become stronger, regardless of strength.

Like, I dunno gang, if someone's response to learning they accidentally ate their boyfriend is to go on a cannibalistic massacre and beg to be killed before she loses what's left of her consciousness; fully becoming the calamity she's feared becoming near her entire life — I don't think she's 'doomed to love' I think she's 'doomed to literally become a monster'.

Next up is this set of tags —

"People often forget that due to her strength she still wears the pants"

Canonically she does not wear any pants. Heteronormative casting aside, her strength alone is not the reason she has a dominant personality. She admits to believing in a dog eat dog worldview , that the strong's responsibility is to protect and defend the weak — this is also why her curse haunts her so much. Because it is both a boon — granting her enormous strength to protect with, and a bane — compelling her to eat her own lovers so she can become stronger.

"Knighthood to her is another very important romance"

This is just incorrect. Knighthood is not a romance to her; it's a salve for her. Her name - "Fairy Knight Gawain" - is explicitly chosen by Morgan to repress Barghest's Black Dog form; granting her some reprieve from her curse by giving her another form of countermeasure. Becoming a knight in the first place was a way to counter her curse, fighting with a sword instead of claws.

"Her love is feral"

"Her love is extremely aggressive"

Her love is inevitably *destructive*. This is why it causes her so much grief and suffering. She is living a horror in which she knows the outcome and frantically tries to change it without any reprieve.

Again - I know we all want the giant woman to eat us; but to Barghest that is a constant terror she must live with.

So yes - even if it's from a place of wanting her to be happy; it's still extreme flanderization to make Barghest into a happy lil' housewife who loves to cook and clean.

rewatching sailor moon for the third time really puts into perspective, and this is something i've admittedly been saying for years now, how insane it is that the contemporary creative and critical discussion around the magical girl genre in english-speaking circles is demonstrably coming from people who, as a result of likely having not actually watched these works since they were children, do not have accurate working memories of e.g. sailor moon, cardcaptor sakura, etc, and are coming at it from largely vibes-and-fuzzy-memories-based positions.
