Did you hear about NoB's passing recently? :(

Yes.😢 I've actually been listening to/watching his music all week, since I found out. (And also don't forget that he wrote the music to songs like Armour Zone, DIE SET DOWN and 5 Together! Zenkaiger. He wasn't just a singer.)

And let us never forget that he was a part of one of the greatest live remixes of all time, Himitsu Sentai Gorenger 2011.

But also, this hurts so much now:

ngl @lintuwaterfall​ whether you’re a lilith dick rider or lilith herself; this is weird to say on a post calling her out for her documented antisemitism & use of romani / traveller slurs, especially when attacking another creator for “apparently” being anti romani because she can’t tell the difference between our cultural clothing & east asian cultural clothing & still decided to double down & speak over us yet again.

she is a racist & antisemite, we have our name because we love both the characters, not because it’s a ship name. don’t ride too hard now & hurt yourself, have the day you deserve ✨❤

Do you think OK Goodnight's "Awake" (Cinder's song) would work for Jinx? Do you think Ambessa's "Blood Sweat & Tears" would work for Cinder and/or Salem?

Awake is definitely a good song for Jinx. It's a song about coming to terms with the darkness inside of you and embracing it. I think it can be seen as a tragic acceptance for both Jinx and Cinder.

Blood, Sweat, and Tears is a bit of a harder sell for Salem and Cinder tbh. The underlying message, at least to me, is about how Ambessa has had to claw her way up to success and she's terrified of being changed by her children, becoming softer, more compassionate, because she doesn't know how to be anything but the wolf.

You could make that fit Salem and Cinder in some aspects. especially Cinder, I think. someone who's only ever known pain and hardship in her life would be terrified at the idea of being changed. She clings to her sense of power because of her desperation for control over her own life. Salem is different imo. I don't think Salem has the same grasp for identity and control that Ambessa and Cinder struggle with.

Do you think people are going to take issue with how Itsuomi casually gets in Yuki's space? Like when he palmed her face at work to get her attention? I could see some people taking offence how he just brazingly and out of the blue put his whole hand on a deaf girl's face without her consent.

I mean, I've definitely seen a few people take issue with it.

imo it's something that's up to the person, some may not see an issue with it and others will think it's over the line. I think both opinions are perfectly valid.

I will defend him a little and say that the show isn't really sidestepping his pushiness. Yuki is surprised every time he invades her space and we can see how respectful everyone else is towards her. She also says that she doesn't really mind when he does it.

And to be fair, that's a thing with the writing. It's impossible for Yuki to give actual consent bc she's not real and this is a romance story. But like, a big trope in romance anime is the whole "it's not annoying when he does it" which can be hit or miss with the audience. And I promise you it's been done so much worse elsewhere.

For Itsuomi and Yuki specifically it might feel a little bit more problematic given her deafness, but I personally don't find it to be a deal breaker.

All this to say, if people don't like it I don't have any reason to argue about it.

here is a thought I don't think gets brought up enough

Ozpin never went after Raven for 2 reasons

1 - The Practical Reason - She is hard to catch because of her semblance and her bird magic, not to mention sending anyone outside of the Ozluminati after her might run the risk of someone outside the know learning about magic.

2 - The Personal Reason - Ozpin understands Raven, in a weird way. What did Oz do a few times over the centuries? Abandoned "the mission" and basically hide in a corner of Remnant. What did Raven do? Left everything behind and go back to the life she knew before Beacon.

Hi!

Yes, surely he does understand. In general, I also think he is simply not interested in running after people who run away tbh... One thing is if Raven switched sides towards Salem, but she did not (at least up until volume 5 and even there it was temporary). Raven disappeared to leave her own life away from the others... Sure she became a criminal in the process, but was not directly involved in the conflict with Salem, so Ozpin has no particular reason to run after her tbh...

I will also say that if he did insist on pursuing her, he would have obtained a negative effect tbh. Team STRQ still clearly care about each other and her teammates would not like to fight her tbh... And if Ozpin had insisted he might have created a rift with some of his most loyals allies... In addition, it is obvious Raven knows Salem can't be killed, so she could have spilled the beans breaking up her older teammates' trust in Ozpin. Well, Oz probably has no idea about this though :''') And Raven would not have said the truth cause she should reveal her involvement in Summer's disappearance, which is something that clearly traumatized her.

In short, I simply think Ozpin had no reason to pursue Raven hence why he did not. I will add one of his flaws was his passivity, so there is that too. That said, I do agree Ozpin can probably relate on Raven running away.

Thank you for the ask!

One thing I hope we get from this Season is to see how Jinx goes from "Depressed and Angst filled Crazy" to the "Zany Cookoo Crazy" we see in League itself and any ads for Riot stuff that uses League Jinx. Like, how does this connect to the kind of Jinx we see in that one Legends of Runeterra thing where Jinx apparently set off explosions to have a quiet moment with Big Sis Vi.

I don't think it'll be that hard of a jump, really. What Jinx needs most is support and self-acceptance, and neither of those are out of her reach imo.

A Jinx that doesn't consider herself a curse, that has people who love her and a community to fall back on could still act as her kooky, explode-y self, but with a less depressive, suicidal edge to it all.
