Serious questions regarding the Love-Failure arc

SPOILAHS. As much as I am enjoying this arc, I have many a serious and fascinating questions...

Where is Haru?

Does Haru know about the turf-war?

What happened to her promise with Melon? Does Melon still plan on eating her? Is Legoshi going to kill Melon? Is Legoshi going to spare him? Why does Mel want Legoshi to kill him? What is Melon’s motivation? Does he have bigger plans for the Back-Alley Market or the world as a whole?

What is Melon going to do when he finds out about his father?

Is he going to kill him? Is GOSHA going to kill Melon’s dad? What information about Legoshi did Kyuu sell out to Melon? (unless this was already answered but I missed it cuz I’mma stoopid) What part of Melon’s past is true and fabricated?

Did Melon’s mother really sexually-abuse Melon, or was that all in his head?

Are we going to see more flashbacks between Melon’s parents?

Are Louis and Juno going to get more screen-time and relationship development in later chapters? These are all important questions, but the biggest, most serious question of them all is... ... ... ... What the hell is Melon doing with his legs in Chapter 186, Page #10??

Is that his ‘confident pose’?? A question the world may never know... *sad violin music plays* :(

In Far Cry 3 the bad guys were unabashedly evil and very clear about it. The protagonist's personal struggle against his own evil makes it a damn good story, especially because shooty looty games usually don't bother to explore the idea of a hero growing to enjoy the violence.

Far Cry 4 decided that neither the rebels or government would be the "good guy." The protagonist's involvement does have personal stakes, but internal struggle isn't the real focus.

Far Cry 5.... wow. Spoilers if you care, but man caring was a mistake here. Unlike every other antagonist, Joseph lacks any kind of charm. Every member of the Seed family is some abused "Woe is me, I gotta kill people for God." And the absolute cherry on this bland empty sundae? Joseph is right. The shirtless guy howling about God's plan and the end of the world, who had had followers torture, kidnap and dope innocent people is right. Vindicating Joseph is just... disappointing beyond belief. Some people trying to make sense of it simply fixed this by saying Joseph controlled the first nukes, and set them flying when he had no escape. But make the guy an actual prophet of God, and you're punished for playing the game trying to stop the Seeds.

New Dawn is somehow even more disappointing. Again spoilers if you still care about em'. Set a scant two-ish decades after the nukes, life's looking up for the survivors. Except box art villain girls go all Mad Max despite there being an apparent abundance of clean, safe land with tons of resources. Skip ahead and the game wants you to pity the twins who've tortured and executed people in front of you multiple times. Oh but their dad was a monster and their mom didn't stand up to him. Jump ahead again and the true antagonist is Joseph's son, he's a whiny and entitled white boy who turns into a demon looking sombitch because fruit from God and daddy issues. It's OK to kill him though, and he doesn't even get a shit sympathy flashback unlike the twins. Ater vindicating Joseph as the guy who heard from God himself the writers 180 and tell him, "Nah, you're wrong, ha ha ha, now die because God or something."

FC3 will always be my favorite, but it's almost like there were some writers who gave half a damn about the game.

spoiler from my PBB fic (which i swear will be posted in like the next hour but whatever) because a lot of the lines in this reflect my feelings about certain things and here is one of the better ones:

All of that breathing in his scent for the last time crap in books are just lies. No one cares how you smell. No one smells that good, anyway.

Doctor Who

I have just watched series 8 episode 1. It's finally out on Netflix. I dislike how we don't get the Christmas special, well maybe we do, I didn't look very hard. Admittedly I am not a huge fan of Matt Smiths Doctor, but so far I like him more than Peter Capaldi. I think I enjoy the Scottish accent but I will have to watch more to be sure. Having already been spoiled about major plot points this season, I guess I'll just stick it out to see them unfold. I do love Madame Vastra & Jenny, and I suppose Strax as well. I'm unsure (and too lazy to check) if Vastra is played by the same actress as previous series. Either way, on screen chemistry is great. I don't think that I like the "explanation" of how Capaldi's face was chosen by this new regeneration. I think it's mainly for the Whovians who know Capaldi was in a previous episode as a different character. I'm sure I'm missing out on a lot since I haven't seen that Christmas Special. Might have to see if I can find it. Seems weird they were putting a lot of emphasis on boyfriend this episode. I get it, for how this arc plays out but it seemed out of place.

niklaushale replied to your post:Loup, gimme all the Kol theories you have. I need them all. plz. for science

I love this so much. What do you think his plans are in relation to TO’s right now?

He wants to be free of his mother's will, by any means necessary.

(spoilers for upcoming episodes behind the cut)

We know that as of the current filming schedule, Mikael and Esther don't know each other are back and Mikael doesn't know his sons are back.

So, that said, Kol must be keeping his knowledge secret for now. He's probably going to continue working Davina and use her to cut the ties between himself and his mother some how. 

I'm thinking there's the possibility of Davina bringing his body back somehow with magic. 

We know Nate is doing a web series. We know that the most cost effective way of doing this, lbr, is a modern video diary sort of thing. They aren't going to pay to have flashback era makeup and costume done each time.

Which means modern!Kol body. 

I think Kol might get his body back and peace out for a while, which is when the show would give us that mini series so we don't get so pressed that he's gone.

Since there's no more "otherside" and no more bringing souls back, I think they're going to want to keep Kol around as a long term possibility by playing out this storyline and returning his body but keeping him off screen after that as far as the main series goes. 

So yeah, I see Kol being sneaky basically until the time is right. Then I think Kaleb will get his body back and Daniel will stay on as a regular.
