you use the top+bottom shipname format seriously
you care too much about top/botttom discourse in general
we need to bring back old school tumblr communication and im so serious. sending an ask to a mutual just to say hello. seeing three different asks in your inbox all asking how your dentist appointment went. seeing a post you think one of your mutuals would enjoy and tagging them/sending it to them in the dms. nowadays its just silently liking a post or (if youre feeling extreme) replying under posts. WHAT HAPPENED TO US!! we used to be a proper community!!!! #LetsBringWhimsyBack
a lot of people who dont play hi3 also share final lesson without any of the context which is fine it is a beautiful piece of animation in its own right. but i feel like without the context of that entire chapter it doesnt hit quite as hard. when you saw the buildup and you know what happens and why and how there was never any other option its so much more brutal. especially knowing the kind of relationship himeko had to her students and how much she meant to her colleagues and that she was the lone survivor(!) of her squad and she has been carrying that for years and how she constantly tells the other valkyries that she is fighting for a world in which they dont need to fight and that she knows her fate is to die from a honkai cascade and that that's not what gets her in the end, but one of the very girls she was trying so hard to protect, but it couldnt be any other way. this was literally the only way

also this happens every time and its always funny to me. got so excited by the hsr update that now i wanna continue durandal vn. something is wrong with me
alternately no one wants to be reminded of final lesson. however. the parallels guys the comparison. does anyone else see this. am i insane. did i play final lesson too many times
worst circumstances to be looking at us all soft in

hm. i wonder if nihilux is aha
went back to check...... interesting.... very interesting
losing my shit
fascinating
not all too surprising considering penacony but interesting to have it confirmed that the trailblaze has ties with colonialism
also finding it
neat that we get to see what himeko wouldve been like if she hadnt become a valkyrie and had continued being the brightest student in the astrophysics programme
interesting how she is playing a lord ravager like a fiddle
A SISTER????
i wonder...was imagenae himeko wandering around masquerading as a sister
this is so cute
interesting...... very interesting
young himeko seems a lot more like hi3meko so i wonder if this is how she would've wanted to be if everything hadn't happened the way it did
interesting...motoko doesnt seem to be a fan of himeko's coffee.... which rather implies that our navigater isnt motoko
also what is it with this game and the central character being not the original version of that character. like mem being the cyrene we get rather than the real one and motoko(?) being (maybe) the navigator rather than himeko
also... i think the whole "give my name and my identity to motoko" and motoko saying about her wanting her own wishes....it does make me suspect that motoko is the one who died, so that himeko could take her place and continue to live that way
like this. i think this is something
i think im on the right track
i know mhy too well i know exactly how they like to play their real identity twists. i should be the phantasmoon games winner clearly
I LOVE BEING CORRECT
seeing a normal beach with palms: wow. just like in hi3 sea of quanta arc
I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I KNEW IT
"if i die, i want to die where the stars are in reach" oughhh
oh honey she beat hov in another universe. this is childs play. just because its not brute force doesnt mean it isnt winning
ohohoho so his assumption about himeko is what gave his game away. he's not winning at all! he's just imagenating a fantasy where he did
MY CLEVER MAMA!!!!!!!!
starblazer was built around himeko, and himeko is alive. asat pramad suggested that the only reason it couldnt break her out was because she was dead...... well well well
DONT YOU DARE
oh good- oh wait its akivili/us isnt it
to be honest......... i might actually find it compelling if they kill of tb for real here. i know that they wont but it would be nice to have an actual character as the mc (especially since theyve been watering down tb's quirks lately)
jesus christ i need to go back and check if they were sowing these seeds in penacony or if they retconned it in
and will you survive that, miss general?
i have a feeling this means if she vanishes here she will show up in hi3 or nexus anima because this is the same deal that schrodinger's got and she's all over the multiverse
back now. me and my £6 blueberry matcha latte and sertraline 150mg against the world
i completely forgot that she was here impersonating jy. he truly did not bother to ask phantylia what jy looked like
have fun in hi3/hna general!
lmao i know someone who's gonna go insane over all of these
doing them in order
ooooh they shift the questions. i have to prioritise
jesus christ the doomscrolling even got asat pramad
ah so we've been here a couple weeks. good to know
i need to know what on earth goes on in tb's head
swolfie my daughter shes so funny
she is so Bronya <3333

this boss fight is so fun im having such a good time
oh they literally recreated final lesson. this is foul. literally right down to waking up on a beach
absolutely FOUL
i am NOT a happy bunny
at least we got a proper goodbye this time, and at least she got a real life. and at least she got to see the stars like she has wanted in every universe
"a few weeks" "eight days" ok well one of you is lying
oh. the eights

LETS SAVE MAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ruh oh that doesnt sound good. we are restructuring the future every time we use the coughing baby hydrogen bomb
i didnt even need to put the readmore lmao so ive removed it.
anyways. i wish they would stop ending on these insane cliffhangers because they keep having to make the events retrospective. why are we back to sparxicon?????
yk guys I think a lot of ppl when arguing against the death penalty go for a like "people don't deserve death, etc" view and I get why ppl argue for that I rly do! but it doesn't matter. I don't trust the government to do it, I don't trust them to decide who should die, I don't trust them to determine who is mentally competent, I don't trust them to not be bigoted and discriminatory in their practices, I don't trust them to have the right people, I don't trust them to execute it in a humanitarian way. and I've had discussions with ppl who otherwise have similar viewpoints to me in many ways but can think of people they think deserve to die, and I think if abolishing the death penalty is like, a super important cause to u the same way it is to me, the argument u use shouldn't be "well these people deserve to live" (although in some cases I think yeah the death penalty is done to people who totally don't "deserve it") because that's so subjective, it should be "do you trust the government to do it?" like, do you trust the people who cant even fill potholes on your road to determine who should and should not live

I get in theory why people complain about het ships or whatever, I get wanting to watch queer media I really do, but I guess where y’all lose me is like. I saw some asshole on a post about Sinners complaining it was “hetslop”—this person was specifically doing so while also claiming Remmick was a queer character and thus they were justified in caring more about him than the Black protagonists. which is a whole other disgusting can of worms that has been well addressed by others at this point. but even in the absence of that part of the argument, like, no, i actually don’t think that a hunger for queer stories is an especially good excuse to deride and dismiss a piece of landmark Black filmmaking, especially as a non-Black person. I have a post that’s been going around encouraging folks to engage with more Native stories and characters, and I had someone come onto that post saying in the tags that they’d need these stories to be queer in order to care. and I just think that, you know, sucks! like obviously as a queer Native I also want to see more of those stories too. but idk how else to put it other than to say that Black people and people of color shouldn’t have to be like you in order for you to care about our narratives and experiences. and I think some of y’all are using this disdain for heterosexuality as a cover for your unexamined racial biases. it’s not okay to be racist to people just because those people happen to be straight, and you continue to be white before you are queer.
on an even more basic level than that, also, I simply just think some of y’all NEED to learn how to interact with media and storytelling without ships and fandom in mind. like if not being able to write fic about two men kissing is genuinely going to be a dealbreaker for you I think that’s actually something you need to work on within yourself because at that point I think you’re no longer really interacting with art and themes and narrative so much as just kind of playing with toys. which is, like, fine I guess. have fun. but it wouldn’t kill you to disengage from that from time to time. especially if would allow you to actually appreciate rich and deeply moving cultural stories from communities of color that you desperately need to learn how to see as human
