I think people have complained about this plenty but man it really does mamke me sad that Dantsu Flame is so overshadowed by the community. I went into the movie knowing id love her but knowing she wasnt gonna have a major role due to her constant exclusion and treatment by the community but she...still plays a fairly large role? She has her own story in the background that while isnt given as much attention as Pokke and Tachyon has its own merits. I was expecting her to be a dead presence but she was still very much one of the 4 main characters of this movie. And it especially saddens me when you take a little bit to look into her more you learn that all she wants is to win, and have eyes on her just once when shes surrounded by all of these exceptional people she looks up to. She wants some of the praise her friends get but shes still just as happy seeing them win and succeed. Shes just as important and just as much a part of JAMD as the other free, even as a late addition. Do not separate them ok?

No one ever talks about the significance that crazy:b actually has to madara beyond kohaku and that upsets me a bit because theres a lot to be said there i think.

As much as retconning is the plague of all ensemble stars stories, i think its important to remember that despite everything it wasnt just kohaku who had madaras back. We know, reiterated several times, that because of kohaku the rest of CB were willing to be there for Double Face, the unit, and by extension Madara, the person. Someone clearly important to kohaku. There is nikis encouragement in secret service, the whole CB chapter in spring evening and Rinnes outspoken support for madara in sugoroku boardgame. Madara is part of their little family, even if somewhat estranged. A friends friend is our friend, so to say. He is kohakus partner, therefore he has all of them as much as he has kohaku. No one ever thinks about that, but i find it so underutilised and fascinating. They're all tied together much closer than people realise. Much closer than the written text itself lets them be. But its important to me. I wish to see more of them in the future

i am speaking as 🍕🍣's biggest fan here, and also someone who limits interaction with the community, but i want people to acknowledge the heavy toll dinos death had on brad more. They feel like the forgotten pair in miratrio pretty often and i think thats unfair to them and the relationship they share. It might not be as obviously dynamic as ksbr and ksdn, but its simultaneously just as good and as important. And we know already that its not something that can be ignored or disregarded, because if any of the 3 are gone, the relationships start crumbling. They quite literally cant be separated without major consequences, and thats why i want to see more acknowledgement of dnbr as a duo too. Where ksbr are opposites and dnks are synchronised, dnbr are complementary. They bring out the best in the other being consciously or not. I'm a little sad do many of their significant interactions are hidden away in cards and stories most people wont read, but they in their own words, have what the other lacks, and are locked in a very positive rivalry. They strive to bring the best out of themselves to compete with the other because they know that they can go all out together. At the same time if one of them is gone it seems to completely remove or lock away the feelings they used to bring out in the other. As much as it might be my yaoi brain, i think its a pretty safe bet to pinpoint brads opening up to dinos return. Theyre so deeply crucial to eachothers wellbeing and i want more people to see that. Thats my goodnight rant for today happy dinobrad to the 3 people reading this 🩷💜🍕🍣

Mini thing but is anyone else driven mad by the fact that kohaku cant seem to shut up about how madara and rinne are very similar at like every opportunity he gets. Since like. The very beginning. Ive been thinking about that a lot recently. It's been pretty clearly outlined throught that that rinne and mama are supposed to parallel eachother especially in regards to kohaku but huuouughhh pleaseee i acrually wanna see those parallels explored more. Sugoroku boardgame please come back to me. "Maybe were more similar than i thought" save me. Akira if youre out there i know you wanna write a madara and rinne centric story so bad

Yes i think madara and rinne would get along really well onna fundamental basis but i also think that madaras general attitude towards everything especially in current canon would piss off the hell out of rinne.

Its the juxtaposition of someone who will not give up no matter what life throws at him and who will keep fighting for his own and others place in the world vs someone who has entierly given up on himself and branded himself as unforgivable who will give up himself to fight for others. Selfish selflessness vs selflessness to the point of being selfish. Does that make sense

Today im going to complain about videogames on tumblr. Anyway so ive been getting back into Sky:CoTL lately (those whove known me for that long. Hi) and catching up on all the stuff ive missed in the last 1.5~2 years has been fun, ill admit, it feels like playing the game for the first time again to a degree, but it's also been highlighting issues with the game that havent been fixed in its 5 year run already. Either new issues or just things that have been there since i played the game. Which was before the game had even hit its 2nd anniversary.

My main issue lately has been getting familiarised with the proper implementation of Props and Decoration items...I think adding a more customiseable space was a very fun addition to the game, giving players the ability to make their own custom hangout Spaces for themselves and others to enjoy, and even something like the Nest are imo incredibly cute and fun ways to spice up the game for players new and old, giving people somethibg more to do beyond the repeptitve grind loop for cosmetics. But here's where the issues come in...

I was there when non-interactable/decorative props were first being introduced. Season of Assembly was the first time we really properly got to see the implementation of Spaces and area decoration beyond table/chat props. It was pretty obvious at the time that assembly and the introduction of props to travelling spirits was a way for tgc to test the waters with props, making them fairly cheap too, both in the season and in the TS trees. But now, seeing the ingame prices of these props i was. Genuinely kind of baffled. Theres something that rubs me the wrong way about pricing props at such high ingame prices (hearts specifically), now that decoration and props are properly implement and Part of the gameplay. Having what is now Generally a core part of the game be so inaccessible to people who dont play frequently. Hearts are still nototriously difficult to get and making decorating your own little space so Grindy just feels. Bad.

Idk im yapping here. ein out thats all for today

HELLO AS PROMISED: ASK 1/???

Do you have any headcanons about Madarinniki? Or any thoughts on how they all got together?

Oh if we're doing headcanons we'd be here all day i have a LOT on a very wide variety of like. Genres of headcanons so I'll either make a separate post or im gonna need more specific questions BUT. I do have thoughts on how they all got together!!

My general favourite way to think about it is that it was the case of Rinne and Niki being in an established relationship, and as Madara spent more time with Crazy:B and subsequently rnnk, he ended up developing crushes on them both, but refused to act on any feelings beyond maybe some light playful flirting, as to not "Ruin what they already have." I think Mama was VERY supportive and wanted the best for rnnk, and didn't even acknowledge the possibility that they might like him back in any way. Little does he know that they DO like him back too...I usually tend to like thinking that Niki starts crushing first, followed by Rinne. Niki telling Rinne that he might also have feelings for Mama, and Rinne confessing that he thinks he likes Mama as well...I think they'd both try to show that to Mama subtly and drop hints, be it a little unsuccessfully because Madara cant fathom that the two are interested in him too...So after a while Niki and Rinne talk to outwardly confess to Mama individually by taking him out on a date/hangout, and tell him that they'd both be more than happy to be together with him, because yes they have eachother, but they love him too..........Mama might need some time to process the mere Concept of the fact that he can do this? Hes allowed to date both of them? They both want him? But he comes around eventually...and that's my Very long-winded thought on how i think these 3 got together. Hope everyone enjoyed

There is so much that could be said about madara and niki beyond a surface level "theyd be cute" but i often lack the words to say it. But i do hope that i get the cogs in peoples heads turning
