Finished reading The Picture of Dorian Gray today..... Mannnnnnn what the hellll

#gonna put my thoughts in tags #okay. LORD HENRY IS SO FUCKING FUNNY #AVERAGE ENGLISHMAN IN THE LATE 1800S #HIS ENTIRE CHARACTER IS JUST #*shows up* *aura farms* *spews nine paragraphs of misogyny* “Well I'd love to see you again tomorrow Dorian :]” *disappears*#God he's so strange. I hate him #Someone clock him in the face and watch him try to extract deep meaning out of it #Alpha male podcaster 120 years to early #Dorian is great #He's a good. Cautionary tale #I have OCD right.#OCD means. You're gonna have a lot of intrusive thoughts !!#And you're gonna spiral over it!!#But the thing that keeps me going is knowing that I have control. And I have agency. And I don't have to do ANYTHING I don't want to.#Dorian Gray is THE exact opposite of this #He believes he's innocent to the very end. He feels some guilt over killing Basil but even in the end he's kind of just apathetic #But because he BELIEVES so heavily that his actions have no consequence #He will act on the slightest whim #Only to pass it off as. “Well it doesn't matter if I did a bad thing because I'm good :-)”#He fascinates me #SIBYL VANE. AND BASIL. GOT DONE SO DIRTY.#DORIAN. DORIAN! WHY DID YOU DO THAT!#ALL he needed to say was. “Hey you didn't perform good tonight what's going on?”#ALL he needed to say was “Hey I'm not interested in you anymore I'm so sorry”#AND INSTEAD #BRO GOES ON THIS. TANGENTTTTTTTTTT #Justice for sibyl vane.... She was my favorite :(#Also. Side note #the sheer AMOUNT of times when Sibyl was described as “childish” or “Having a childish beauty about her” or “She doesn't even look 17!!!!!”#is fucking INSANE.

Very late but I like your Yo-kai Watch protag Lucas + unassuming small Wobblewok idea, and I gotta know more about Venoct filling Whisper's role. Does he actually know things or does he also use a book/tablet to cover his mistakes? Is he more of a right-by-your-side butler or a secret agent butler who deals with problems incognito?

OOOOOO good question

I feel like earlier on, Venoct would’ve acted more as Lucas’s behind-the-scenes guardian, mostly looking out for him from the sidelines and only ever revealing himself when Lucas got into serious trouble, because he knew Lucas was fully capable of handling the smaller things himself.

But as time went on and Lucas gradually found himself getting into more and more danger bc of yo-kai trying to kill him, Venoct had to increasingly keep stepping in until he decided it was best to just start playing an active right-by-your-side bodyguard role in Lucas’s life, and he slowly starts entering his overprotective-butler-dad arc

As for his knowledge about yo-kai, I DO feel like he’d know more than Whisper and wouldn’t need a yo-kai pad, but he’d do that thing he does in the anime where the others THINK he’s just playing up the “”crimes”” of some wimp ass yo-kai to make them sound scary and/or intimidating, but it turns out he’s talking about an ACTUAL big huge terrifying monster

like for example it *sounds* like he’s talking about manjimutt or tattletell at first, and Lucas just goes “haha he’s probably playing it up for dramatic effect” but then Mass Mutterer/Tattleterror ACTUALLY appears and Lucas is like “wait what the fuck”

But also for a bit of subversion I think it’d be funny if venoct just straight up WAS overexaggerating normal ass yo-kai sometimes. especially once he started becoming more overprotective and suspicious of others trying to kill Lucas.

Like Lucas eventually gets used to venoct’s dramatic descriptions and starts preparing for the worst, only for venoct to reveal that the “heinous” yo-kai they’re dealing with is actually just. like a flumpy or sum. lucas yet again goes “what the fuck” and venoct just says “LUCAS you dont UNDERSTAND, as your BODYGUARD it is MY JOB to ensure your SAFETY, and I can not allow ANY potential threat to slip under my radar, NO MATTER how UNASSUMING they may outwardly appear”
