Here's a short information post if you want to know a little more about me.

God, Mymo took what was supposed to be a fun, entertaining event and made it into a violent bundle of trauma. Now Zanka, Riyo, and Amo are all depressed and disappointed in themselves, believing they could've done more and better. We also keep seeing how upset Riyo is from being unable to comfort anyone because that's what Enjin usually does. She's lost as to what a "human being" is supposed to do in this situation.

I believe Riyo's character arc will be about her frustrations with not feeling human enough, failing to change like everyone else around her does, and wanting to emotionally comfort and connect with others.

Since Bumdus is at the Doll Festival, then it's possible that some of the other raiders are there as well. It's been so long since we've seen Jabber, Cthoni, and Zodyl 😭 I know Momoa is still in a coma though 💀

Mechablazer is one of those ships where, if the AdHoc had written it better, I would be shipping the hell out of it. Blonde Blazer and Robert share cute moments, and I love his dialogue options in her romance route, but she didn’t interest me much; she mainly served as an alternative love interest rather than as a character. There’s also the issue that AdHoc never addresses Blazer forcing Robert to cut Coupé and Sonar purely to "shake shit up."

Like Visi, Blonde Blazer’s story revolved around Robert, and the only key difference was that if you didn’t choose her dating route, AdHoc gave her fewer scenes than if you did. At least with Invisigal, she received the same number of scenes regardless of whether you chose her or not. If you pick Blazer then you learn four episodes early that she's a brunette named Mandy, who gets her powers from an amulet, being powerless otherwise. I will admit that despite finding her boring, I still chose her route because she didn't annoy me like Invisigal did.

Oh Mechablazer, you could’ve been an amazing ship if AdHoc knew how to write women like people instead of as walking sex appeal.

AdHoc: We’re surprised more players chose Invisigal over Blonde Blazer.

Also AdHoc: -Gives Invisigal a wet-dream scene and has her heavily express how horny she is for Robert multiple time-

Parents, who support online censorship and ID verification, only do so because they’re too lazy to implement parental controls on their kids' devices. Smartphones come with parental controls built-in, yet you still have parents who refuse to use them. They would rather the government take away online freedom and anonymity than step up as a damn parent.

Forcing people to pay heroes to save them is such an unfair and fucked-up concept. In Dispatch, you have to pay a subscription to get a hero to help or save you in certain situations because if you don't then you're left to rely on yourself, the authorities, or other citizens to help out.

Episode 2 could've shown how wrong it is to make people pay for hero service by having Invisigal intervene in the Granny’s Donuts robbery despite Granny not being a subscriber. That would’ve also helped her character by showing that she'll disobey orders if it means helping others regardless of the occupational consequences. For Robert, AdHoc could've given him options to voice support for Visi’s decision, to condemn it, or to express uncertainty about whether it was the right call. As Dispatch progresses, we see more flaws in SDN’s subscription system, with the Z-team voicing their own issues and occasionally going off-route to help people regardless of subscription status.

In episode 8 of Dispatch, when Shroud and the Red Ring are destroying Torrance, AdHoc could've given Robert the choice of whether to have Z-team aid civilians regardless of subscription or to stick to helping only subscribers. We would have to choose between defying SDN and its subscription system or following it.

Thinking back, it's hilarious how men fought over who was the better romance option between Blonde Blazer and Invisigal, treating it as if it were life or death. They argued, and some of them even made videos with “evidence” to prove their claims. This is why people call Dispatch “Twilight for men” because, just like how women used to fight over Edward and Jacob, men did the same with Blazer and Visi, failing to recognize it all comes down to personal preference.

In the end, AdHoc could've written Mechablazer and Invisimech a hell of a lot better than they did. Blonde Blazer and Invisigal deserved to be more than only love interests whose likability depended more on looks than personality.

It's frustrating how frequently women are poorly written characters in stories. Creators often make them one-dimensional: love interests, support figures, antagonists, or flat-out fanservice, or they use them as a tool in another character's “tragic” backstory by making them a dead loved one or someone that character must save/care for. Some creators treat women as mere keychains for other characters, preventing them from existing on their own.

Creators sometimes prohibit women from being as or more powerful than men, giving them weaker abilities, and allowing men to easily defeat them. They treat them as nothing more than fodder to make the men look stronger and sometimes portray them as damsels in distress who need to be saved. In some stories, creators reduce powerful women to housewives or disable or kill them so they can no longer fight and stay out of the way of the men.

Based on how people treat writing women, you would think it was as complicated as quantum physics. All you have to do is write women like people — yet some creators either refuse to learn how or don't care to.

No one has to care about the wellbeing of an abuser; no one has to repeatedly reach out to them or give them multiple chances to repent. You aren't an awful person for refusing to care about someone who has hurt you or others, for feeling angry about their abuse, and for experiencing anything else but grief about their suffering or death.

Victims don't have to take responsibility for their abusers' welfare or prioritize the abusers' health over their own; they don't need to care for them or make sure they're okay.

I guess Corvus is either a descendant of the nameless recorder or, like Kuro, an immortal who has observed for centuries and can alter his form. The symbol on the back of his head resembles that of the nameless recorder but isn't identical; however, this isn't enough to rule out a connection.

Zanka is practically Kyouka's baby; like, even Rudo recognizes how similar they are, so much so that he felt comfortable holding a conversation with her. Parentified Kyouka, my beloved ❤️

Meanwhile Goka after sensing Kyouka still favors Zanka:

I love Zanka, but it's irritating how fans infantilize him, taking away his flaws and acting like he's "innocent" like we're not even thinking of the same character at this point. Zanka is an asshole who dehumanizes stronger people, deeming them "geniuses" and believing they put little to no effort into being powerful. He doesn't view Hyo and Jabber as two people who learned to be strong but as "natural talents" he needs to surpass and prove himself better than. 

Zanka fantasizes about taking down one of these “geniuses,” relishing in the idea of showing them what an "average joe" is capable of. When he’s fighting enemies, he takes pleasure in insulting and defeating them, these acts feeding his ego. Zanka enjoys overpowering anyone who deems themselves better than him, which is why he takes defeats so hard because in his mind, he’s lesser than the “genius” who beat him. Since his academy days, he has been fixated on exceeding Hyo, who feels indifferent about him and views him as only an ex-classmate. However, for Zanka, she’s the one who showed him that he’s an “average Joe" and changed the trajectory of his entire life. He’s been competing with someone who doesn’t even think about him and is living her own life.

Zanka is an asshole with an inferiority complex, who dehumanizes anyone who’s stronger than him and obsesses over surpassing them. He takes pleasure in defeating those who look down on him and proving he’s better than them. Zanka isn't "innocent" whatsoever.

Goose tries framing Jax's abstraction as “tragic” and presenting it as a “cautionary tale” about what happens when you repress and isolate yourself and reject all help from those around you. However, after her death, we see how much happier everyone becomes because they no longer have to tolerate her abuse and trauma to their detriment. Granted, if Goose hadn’t been afraid of holding Jax accountable, the rest of the cast would've been free of her bullshit sooner, but I digress.

Honestly, Jax's suicide shows how much of a cancer she was on the group because, by dying, no one has to suffer her abuse and has to endure her ruining their happiness for her amusement. Even Pomni, who still visits her, does better since she no longer devotes time trying to save her. Jax's abstraction feels less like a tragedy and more like a mixture of an escape from potential consequences and a quality improvement of life for everyone else.
