Not only does LOL have demons one of the most powerful and terrifying demons is named Fiddlesticks. Before Arcane was ever written if Fiddlesticks was on a team against Jinx he woukd taunt her with "It's all your fault." And now we have so many things that could be about.
Yeah, sure, okay. The demon's name is Fiddlesticks? Yeah that's totally alright and normal.
He wanted it gone so badly, he wanted Miorne to have the fiance she should have. And yet he had the integrity to fight the duel to the best of his ability. I thought for a moment he was going to throw the fight, but as far as I could tell he didn't. Sulleta won her last duel honestly.
Yes, I noticed that, too! And I think it's a beautiful little detail. Guel obviously wants to lose, wants Suletta to win back her status and wants Miorine to have Suletta back as well, but he's also intelligent enough to realize that throwing the duel wouldn't accomplish anything at all, at least not emotionally.
Suletta's not stupid. She'd know if he lost on purpose. And if he did that, then she'd be the Holder on Guel's terms, not her own. So he fights, and he fights the best he can, because Suletta deserves that.
And she wins.
Here's a fun lil' tidbit for ya: Notice the eye color on that there Hound? :3
New emotion unlocked: I now regret learning how to read.
asks pt 1
wefuwef I saw that she apparently liked a tweet saying essentially that??? about that scene??? What a legend, honestly.
Hell yeah! That wasn’t my original read on him but I’ll happily take it <3
I’d say I DO have an idea how much you love Camila Noceda, because I love her too!! SO MUCH!! She’s working so, so, so hard, she’s good-hearted and caring and willing to do whatever it takes; she took in Vee who needed a home, she took in Luz’s friends who were trapped, she’s so compassionate and determined and real. I love her. I think I said so during the blog, but MVP of the episode, seriously.
god that hit me HARD. Damn, world, you gotta do my girl like that? It really did have that feeling of how when you’re in that kind of a mental hole, anything that reminds you of the issue will cut like a knife.
Sweet, thanks, guys! I actually own it, got it in a charity bundle a while back, and it’s on that “I know I’m gonna love this when I get to it” list for me haha.
YEAH I’M GROUCHY AS HELL ABOUT THAT
good fanfic material, I guess, but damn.
Eve never played golf in her mafia days. Not once. She hit a ball with a stick for money. Completely different.
Sad Dina seems to have lost, but the only reason I voted her over Webby is that her autism is cannon and to my knowledge Webby's isn't. And I'm pretty sure more voters know who Webby is than Dina.
bestie Dina has been leading for the last 24 hours
Have you read the authors prior work Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni? If not I would strongly recommend liveblogging that as well when you're finished with Umineko.
I haven't! I've heard it's a bit more gore-y than Umineko though.
To any followers who might see this ask, should I liveblog Higurashi after I finish Umineko?
yes! it's important to experience the whole WTC Universe
no! you can take it or leave it!

Higurashi is primarily psychological horror and a bit of body horror. And a mystery. As much if not more mystery than horror but there's a segment of the fandom, primarily anime only Higurashi fans, who ignore the mystery in favor of "yandere murder lolis". They usually miss some important thematic bits and are often factually wrong about things that actually were shown on screen but were left for the viewer to understand the meaning of through context and other facts shown earlier (or later).
The censorship I'm not familiar with. I'm used to the original slightly dodgy translation with PS3 graphics though not anything that was specifically written for the console.
I should clarify I'm not accusing the ENTIRE anime only crowd for Higurashi of missing the point. I'm just saying that the anime only crowd is primarily where they're found. Plenty of the anime only crowd understands it just fine.
that's really interesting actually! higurashi being a more dedicated horror-mystery adds dimension to and complements the "nature and purpose of horror" discussion that i just read in umineko! i'm curious to see if this meditation on genres is something that's recurring in some form or another throughout ryukishi07's works.
and the curse of a visual novel with a highly successful anime adaptation strikes again lol. the only problem with time-limited visual media with a slow-burn like mystery or psychological horror is that these elements don't Work at all in a 20 minute episode window. i think i'd hate to try and adapt any kind of story like these into a more constrained format. especially anime since for some reason the mere ontological properties of anime make a good portion of people switch their brains off, which is the last thing you'd want to do with a compelling mystery story lol.
