the game that single handedly altered my brain chemistry for 2 years (doodles between 2023-2024)

Last week we had a big group shoot with 12 cosplayers and 3 photographers and we could gather a small exp 33 group. It was so fun! And most funny pic was for sure that our painting Clea made the gommage for our Alicia in throwing the pedals!

Glass Onion really leant into that campiness that made me adore Clue and I am very happy for it.

First our little gay detective got a great weekend, which didn't make anyone happy, but then his weekend got ruined, which still didn't make anyone happy, poor boy. Like a tiger who got a meat filled pumpkin only to find that it was filled with tofu instead, I truly feel for him. Made watching the movie even more fun tho.

Props to the costumer, I really enjoyed their choices.

Also, I ship Helen and Marta. They would be cute together. And probably good for each other. I need an installment where all of Benoit's female investigating partners team up to help him out.

That thing Chance says about Sable if you turned the lovers in at the end of Partners in a Dangerous Crime something something now his heart is dedicated to Antiva/the Crows…what that has to sound like to a Rook de Riva romancing Lucanis…

Miyuki vs the Inajitsu ‘All Stars’.

I’ve been trying to get something coherent out of my head about this for a day or two, but it’s kind of difficult to be concise and not start going off on a tangent.

I’ve just been thinking about the fact there’s not a lot to choose between Inajitsu’s so called ‘all star generation’ team and Seidou’s. In fact, in terms of Koushien, Seidou going to the Senbatsu kind of puts their achievements ahead.

And then I got to thinking that the so called all stars called on by Mei - Carlos, Shirakawa, Yamaoka, Yabe - actually chose the easy path. We’ve never seen any of them hit an actual wall in their development. Only Mei has experienced that, the others have not. And they’ve never had to face the challenge of competing against Mei. In fact, that seems to be one of the main reasons they choose to go to Inajitsu - so as not to have to face him as a rival. So they may be decent players, but because they’ve dodged the danger of Mei as an opponent, you can also say, maybe, they’ve coasted through to get to where they are now.  (Side note - although I’m not sure what the point of Yabe is, or why he’s included in Mei’s dream team, even now.).

Miyuki went against taking the easy path, bit the bullet, and chose Seidou. He chose a team where he had to start from scratch, where Koushien wasn’t guaranteed, and where he became the cornerstone of the defence on his own merit. But he also chose a place where he had the chance to be an instrumental part of a team.

While we’ve seen Eijun and Furuya hit more obvious walls in their performance, Miyuki’s ‘wall’ was becoming Captain, the doubts and struggles he’s had with that which remain even to the point of the summer final. I said before that Seidou are a team and Inajitsu are individuals. Although they are individually talented, aside Mei, I don’t see any of the Inajitsu players as being better than the ones in the Seidou team. 

But I also feel like maybe Miyuki chose Seidou because he is a team player, and not an individual.

There will be people who disagree with me, but if you think about it, he’s never played as an individual. While he’s bottled up his own problems and not shared them with his teammates, even that was done with the team in mind. Miyuki is willing to be hated by the pitchers to get them working at top level. He gives up his own time to practice with them. He is constantly watching everything, but also sharing that knowledge, not just in his room after hours but also on the field, when he mentions a pitching pattern to the next batter, or passes advice on in the dugout. Even when he scores the home run in the Seikou game, the thing that inspires him to put in that effort is the thought of taking the pitchers to Koushien. Not his own glory, but rewarding their hard work since the restart. And when he hides his injury in the final, even though he wants to play, the fact he’s priming Ono beforehand means he’s still considering what to do. He admits himself that he hides it because he doesn’t want to cause the team hassle. Even if it’s not the right decision, he’s still putting the team ahead of himself. 

So Miyuki is not an individual on the field. And for that reason, even if he didn’t go to Inajitsu because of Chris and Rei, I don’t think he’d have fitted in there that well. 

The Yakushi game shows Miyuki is willing to sacrifice himself to get the team over the line if he has to, whatever the cost. I don’t think there’s a single third year on the Inajitsu team who would ever think to do likewise.

Ok but the latest episodes of your throne were just SO worth it.

The tension?

How the plot unfolded?

Can't believe even Christopher the floating cube got one of Klaus' powers before Klaus did.
