#Defense Up Passive

[magiamemoriareview]

From Now On, With Everyone

Obtainability: Limited to the “TV Anime 1st Anniversary Memoria Pack” Gem Bag (purchasable with paid or unpaid gems).

MLB Effect: Attack Up [20%] & Defense Up [30%]

Effect Definitions:

Attack Up increases the equipped character’s base stats, meaning that its effects are calculated before buffs/debuffs are considered. The effect caps at 100%.

Defense Up increases the target’s base defense stats. Defense Up is generally worse than Damage Cut.

TLDR: “From Now On With Everyone” is a solid memoria that can be used in most situations as it gives two generic (but useful) effects that will offer both offensive and defensive potential. It’s effects are comparable to several unlimited memoria in the game. However, “From Now On With Everyone” suffers from the fact it comes from a costly Bag using Magia Stones (paid and unpaid), and that there are numerous comparable memoria in the game that can do similarly to what it does, and for a cheaper price.

You can skip this purchase unless you’re very new to the game and need all the help with memoria acquisition that you can get.

This memoria can be used on Support.

Review: “From Now On With Everyone” is good memoria that should be useful in just about any situation thanks to its generic yet helpful effects. Attack Up is one of the best offensive effects in the game, and the only thing that holds the buff back is that it caps at 100%. Defense Up isn’t as good as the effect Damage Cut, but it’s still a solid Defensive buff and will be great for protecting a unit from damage, especially a squishier attacker-type.

You can view “From Now On With Everyone” as a slightly worse version of the memoria “Everyday Overflowing with Pride” which, when Max-Awakened, has 25% Attack Up and 37.5% Defense Up.

That doesn’t mean “From Now On With Everyone” doesn’t have a strange advantage over “Everyday Overflowing with Pride” -- this memoria for some ungodly reason has 2600 ATK. That’s a lot of passive ATK stats. In fact, that’s the most ATK you can find on a memoria currently in the game.

Note from this image that “From Now On With Everyone” even tops several limited memoria. However, also do note that those limited memoria have better effects and higher Attack Up. But still, that’s kind of crazy for a free-to-play friendly memoria!

However, the real question for this memoria isn’t just how good it is. It’s this: is this memoria worth spending magia stones to buy the bag it comes from?

Benefits to consider are that that “From Now On With Everyone” comes Max-Awakened and Max Leveled. Naturally this means that Whales or very established (or lucky!) players won’t have much need for it– but players without good memoria to use, such as new players or some unluckier Free-to-Play players, might find it helpful in building their arsenal.

Another thing to consider would be that it’s not like the memoria in its entirety costs 400 gems. The bag includes a tenpull ticket, so subtract 250 gems and you get 150 gems for the memoria and all the other goodies included– however, is the memoria and a handful of mats worth 150 gems?

That really depends on what kind of memoria you yourself already have. 

If you already have the aforementioned “Everyday Overflowing with Pride” at max-awakened status, then the usefulness of “From Now On With Everyone” is called into question. However, unlike some types of effects in the game, you really can’t go wrong with having more Attack Up passive memoria. Attack Up, as mentioned above, is one of the best effects to have and you’ll always want to have it when doing generic battles or even for things as banal as equipping on your Support. 

But again, this counts on what memoria you already have. And there are a number of really good memoria, including unlimited four-stars, that have high passive ATK stats with a higher percentage of Attack Up:

(Limited 4*) “We Promised Didn't We” Attack Up [30%] & Status Ailment Resistance Up [25%]

(4*) “Don't Call Me Childish” Attack Up [30%] & Damage Cut [15%] & Defense Down [25%]

(Limited 4*) “Could Not Throw It Away” Attack Up [25%] & Attack Up While At Max Health [30%]

(Limited 4*) “Fairy Tale Entrusted with a Prayer” Attack Up [25%] & MP Gain Up [12.5%]

(Limited 4*) “Contradiction of Apology and Punishment” Attack Up [25%] & Damage Up Versus Witches [25%]

(Limited 4*) “The Grin of a Saint” Attack Up [25%] & Ignore Damage Cut [60%]

(Limited 4*) “The Young and Pretty Queen” Attack Up [25%] & Poison on Attack [25%] (3 Turns)

(Limited 4*) “Great Success in the Longed for Land” Attack Up [25%] & Bind on Attack [20%] (1 Turn)

(Limited 4*) “Still Far From a Starry Night...” Attack Up [25%] & Accele MP Gain Up [15%]

(Limited 4*) “Miracle Heroines” Attack Up [25%] & Magia Damage Up [12.5%]

(Limited 4*) “The Fake Hatred Reflected in the Mirror” Attack Up [25%] & Skill Seal on Attack [30% / 1 turn]

(Limited 4*) “A Fake Smile Reflected in the Mirror” Attack Up [25%] & Evade [25%]

(Limited 4*) “Kyubey Knight Breaking Through” Attack Up [25%] & Charged Attack Damage Up [15%]

(4*) “Reaching Out Towards Our Goal” Attack Up [25%] & Fog on Attack [20%] (3 Turns)  

(4*) “That Light I Thought I Gave Up” Attack Up [25%] & Charm on Attack [20%] (1 Turn)

(4*) “Flickering Aspiration” Attack Up [25%] & Anti-Bind [100%]

(4*) “Kind-Hearted Revolutionary” Attack Up [25%] & Anti-Provoke [65%]

(4*) “Feigning Innocence School Time” Attack Up [25%] & Anti-Stun [100%]

(4*) “Everyday Overflowing with Pride” Attack Up [25%] & Defense Up [37.5%]

(4*) “To Grace with Aster” Attack Up [25%] & Charged Attack Damage Up [15%]

(Limited 3*) “Gorge of Fate” Attack Up [25%] & Defense Down (Self) [20%]

When looking at this very very long list, the necessity of “From Now On With Everyone” is called into question. Do you need this memoria? Do you have any of these listed memoria already, and more importantly, are any of them Max-Awakened and max-leveled?

Of special note would be the memoria “Kyubey Knight Breaking Through” as it can be easily purchased through 2000 Support Points. It is a phenomenal memoria and easily counts as Whale tier. So if you’re pressed for Magia Stones and are just wondering about good offensive memoria options, skip “From Now On With Everyone”. Better memoria, even Free-to-Play friendly ones, already exist and can be purchased more cheaply.

But, if you’re a new player or a very unlucky one, “From Now On With Everyone” might give you a little assistance in your collection of memos. It’s certainly not a bad memoria, it’s just decidedly average. Whether or not it’s worth spending 150 magia stones to acquire is up to you, but personally this reviewer says no unless you’re really hurting for better memoria to equip.

If you do purchase “From Now On With Everyone”, you can use it on Support.

I always think its funny when limbus players go "wow this fight is impossoble without ["meta" unit] i dont know how the game expects you to do it" and well, you see, the answer is very simple! The game is easy. You can do so much shit already with the base units. You're just not being smart about it and relying on the gacha and what's "meta" this week

You were able to finish the railway with base units and base ego. You can finish Yi Sang's dungeon with his base ID or his"bad" free ID they gave out, or the seven association one. You don't need uptie 4 for the Mirror Dungeons. You don't need to uptie EGO. You don't need the 000 units of this week's banner that people are calling meta now. You can use "shit" ids and finish the content there is.

#sorry i just remembered how people hyped up seven outis and cinq don and now they are like forgotten lol #also how much people forget that defensive actions exist when dodge especially is so strong in the hard dungeon #some of my higher level ids are base ids just because i didnt have anything else #and i still find embarrassing how much i ignored base Ishmael when i was needing an id like her #because i was buying into the whole 'meta' thing #maybe im sounding mean but read what support passives do #read what regular passives do #read the base id passives and support passives #when they did the first SP changes everyone just forgot base yi sang and base hong lu existed to literally heal you from sp loss #and 3 of the gregor ids provide healing when benched #ghost sufre una descompostura #limbus posting

ive been a little upset about it all night so i need to write out all the things that happened at work today and are bugging me so i can TRY to get it out of my head and actually RELAX bc i just keep pacing in circles around it instead of just accepting it and moving on

#for context i was working frying chicken today. ok so i arrive and literally all the chicken out expires within ten minutes of each other #meanwhile to remake everything takes about an hour 20 #tried my best to get everything out and replaced and make sure i have enough of everything and then take my break bc with chicken there are #few narrow windows to take your break in you have very little control over when it is #get back and while im getting ready for my next fry one of the assistant leaders comes back and passive aggressively asks 'everything ok?' #and when i say yeah shes starts saying how shes 'just checking' because apparently i didnt have enough chicken out for her liking and went #on about how we're in a chicken drive (I KNOW. I WORK CHICKEN SHE NEVER HAS.) #etc etc. i just say ok and she leaves #like 20 minutes later she comes fucking back to rag on me again about how i need to choose my break times better and i need to have more #chicken out there as back up (extremely difficult bc there is literally only so much room in the fryers. the batches i usually make already #nearly completely fill them up) blah blah and then when i try to explain how i WAS making pretty big batches people are just snatching them #up fast she keeps trying to walk out the door right away and keeps stopping and looking over her shoulder to just stare at me while i try t #finish my sentence #and she just. doesnt say anything in response when i do finish she just leaves #so clearly she didnt want a conversation she just wanted to rag on me #then later for cleanup the timing of everything just kept lining up inconveniently so i kept having to get in and out of raw cleaning gear #and slowing myself down and i end up having to stay almost 15 minutes late to finish cleaning #during cleaning i have to go grab a key to the back door to take out my trash and this one coworker i have was standing in the way of the #door. i say excuse me and she just stares at me and goes huh? #and i say i need a key and she barely moves out of the way without responding and she has a look like im bothering her #why are you acting like im being douchey. i just need a key. thats something she does a lot she acts like im inconveniencing her by asking #basic favors . ive stopped asking her to help me open the back door (sometimes needed if i also have raw garbage to take out and therefore #cant touch the key myself) for some reason she takes it upon herself to almost completely close the door after i walk out so when i come #back i have to awkwardly use my foot to reach around and pull the door open #ive asked her before not to do it and she just ignored me #GRAH GRAH. and then like i said in my last rb i realized while i was drivign home i forgot to wash a damn pan #im mostly worried about it because ive forgotten a couple times in the past too . in my defense its a pan i personally dont use but it just #gets left behind from first shift sometimes and then second shifters end up having to make sure its clean #im just irritateddd and im mad im worried about it all. its all little things piling up on each other #LOL I WROTE A LOT MORE BUT THE REST GOT CUT OUT IG I HIT A TAG LIMIT. tumblr voice ok dude quit your bitching !!

[amygdalae]

my grandma can be so infuriating like she’ll just say things about you to your face that are patently untrue and a little hurtful. and its been getting worse over time but shes also just always been like this

#and its always so passive aggressive. but theres no winning and if you get too defensive she gets upset at that #but like sometimes ill be pmsed or somsthing and shell say some shit and itll immediately tank my mood #my mom says to just try not to let it get to me #today she said something about how i 'spend all day and night' in my room #which is simply not the case. and she naps like all afternoon so she has no idea what im up to anyways #she was just mad at me for not saying good morning to her today #but like idk! its this slow steady trickle of little comments like that. that just wear down your nerves because theyre all subtle and judgy #its maddening

[vampirerite]

i still really want a digimon dusk-like fate game.

#skeletxt #go into the woods and beat up shadow artorias until she drops a catalyst to summon actual artoria as copy of the scanning system #replace digivolving with ascension #instead of digifarm make it something like My House where your summons just chill on a timer in your house #add upgrades to the house like extra rooms + access to hobbies + bounded field to passively boost stats #hell you could even make My House a fort with enemy attacks on your base a mechanic so youd have to be careful about every summon you make #replace class advantage with combat specialization types ex long range / passive / close range / support / defense #ugghhh i just want them to go back to rpgs and get OUT of warriors games

Phoenix: ...Like how Ms Kira here threw a major hissy fit in court and was barbecued for being a witch.

Layton: Eloquently put, Mr Wright.

i mean. i wouldn't say. ELOQUENT. is perhaps. the best word. to use. here. but alright professor whatever you say

#layton is really funny because half the time he genuinely praises phoenix's intelligence #and the other half of the time he's passively coming up with ten different gentlemanly ways to say phoenix is kind of an idiot #he's certainly being less obvious about it than phoenix is but also he's totally looking at phoenix (who IS canonically kind of jacked by #this point according to t&t. nothing on par with aj but he's getting there) and thinking. helloooooo himbo. and then he tips his hat at him #and in his defense phoenix has been kind of silly this whole game because at the beginning he had his brain booted into 'vacation mode' and #then he was forced to do a trial in england and then he got his whole memory rewritten so he believed he'd been a baker for five years #so like. he's not EXACTLY on his a-game. but still #kate plays

I need to get back into a drawing mood already so I can draw one of my new guys she's my newest obsession. Girlie who's been standing just off screen of every bad thing that's happened in the last decade

#rat rambles #oc posting #her name is marci and Im still fleshing her out but basically shes another kid who largely grew up in the middle world palace #she and loonie were close as kids and she also had a big crush on midas but she and loonie drifted apart overtime and midas well. yeah. #shes never liked loonie and midas' mom which only worsened as midas began his plan and his mom tried to plead ignorance #this is the source of most of her and loonie's conflict as loonie had always loved it's mom a lot and basically idolized her #so anytime marci would be even vaguely critical of her it would become very defensive #it never got too bad during the early years but after midas and mascot killed their mom and vanished it quickly became way worse #marci was mourning midas and loonie was mourning its mom and neither were willing to budge on their hatred of the other's loved one #eventually they very hesitantly comprimised to agree to disagree (aka just avoid the topic) #but the damage had already been done and the two had drifted very far apart #they initially tried to move forward but as loonie got more and morw frustrated with the whole situation it started actively avoiding marci #which she took note of and while she was upset abt it she tried to respect it #she swiftly lost that respect as soon as she learned abt toon's existence #in her eyes toon was loonie's replacement for her. and well she wasnt necesarily wrong. #this ultimately lead to marci lashing out at loonie and the two getting in a big fight which escalated to violence #loonie felt genuinely hurt by marci lashing out like this but it also couldnt properly fight back since she was yknow. right. #so it ended up backing off and very very vaguely appologising #it was a Very passive agressive appology tho and it was basically a moment of both of them looking at eachother and realizing that they had #long stopped seeing eachother as a friend #anyways then toon delevopes a big crush on marci which complicates things even more lol

multiple people have been complaining about my takes on luz's mom... like ok first of all i never disliked her, not once. believe me, when i don't like a character, i'll say so.

but to get to the point, camila's role in the story is complicated. and you aren't supposed to automatically know exactly what she's thinking. the show opens with the concept of "local middle school weird girl is being sent to bore-ification camp by her mom who wants her to be less weird". that's a scenario that a lot of neurodivergent people can relate to, yours truly included.

a lot of the time irl talks about autism focus on how difficult it can be for the parents, to the point where for a lot of us it's exhausting just to hear someone bring it up. bc we know it's tough on the parents, but it's tough on us too. but in camila's case, it's handled really well. whether luz is autistic or adhd or both or neither, we're not shown a mom who hates her daughter for being true to herself, we're shown one who's concerned about her child's future and just wants what's best for her. you never get the impression that there's anything but love between them. and this show doesn't exactly skimp on the mommy issues.

that said, the story follows luz. so when she's being sent off to camp, you see how upset she is by it, how she feels that who she is is being rejected. as an adult, it's easy for me to understand where camila is coming from. but when i was 14? no way in hell.

luz's mom is probably one of the best fictional moms i've seen in a long time, kids' show or otherwise. her relationship with luz is a lot like mine with my own mom (except unlike luz i do not speak spanish fluently, and my spanish is limited to what little bits my mom drops in here and there). my mom has also sent me off to places for my own good (not sure how many of y'all were here when i got shipped off to wilderness therapy, but... that was A Time), has also had difficulties with accepting me for who i am, and sometimes needs to take a step back and let me explain where i'm coming from.

camila is a flawed person and an imperfect mother. this is actually extremely normal. she has made mistakes and bad decisions. this is also normal. acknowledgement of this, be it in meta or jokes i make while watching the show, is not an attempt to demonize her, to give off the impression that i personally dislike her, or even to imply that she's a bad mom. i have, and this is true, been making jokes about all of the characters this entire time.

but all that aside, for the majority of s1 and a good chunk of s2, we don't see camila. she's spent most of her time as a character so far as more of an idea, as a goal for luz to reach - getting back home to her mom. to be clear, before she pops back up in s2e10, all we've seen from her is her sending her kid off to sad camp and her not realizing that there's a fake luz (which i'd say is justified bc like. why the fuck would she have any reason to think the girl who looked and sounded exactly like her daughter was anyone other than her daughter???). that isn't really a lot to go on.

tldr: i am watching this show for the first time after avoiding as many spoilers as i could. i do not have prior knowledge of these characters. let me consume the story at my own pace and stop expecting me to know things that haven't happened for me yet.

#vent post #the owl house #look i know y'all probably don't mean anything by it #but this site seriously needs to understand that other people do not have the same set of info at all times #like. imagine seeing someone watching the first ep of atla and getting mad at them for making a joke about zuko trying to murder a 12yo #i'm glad you guys are being so defensive of her bc she's great and all #but actually i don't need you to spoil the episode for me bc you didn't like that i hadn't seen it yet or something #fr i was literally at the start of the episode and made a joke about the beginning (y'know the place where i was) #and drop the passive aggressive comments guys that's not necessary #again please keep in mind that i HAVE NOT SEEN THIS SHOW BEFORE #whatever you know about what happens next I DON'T KNOW THAT #and i don't want you to tell me! #don't get mad at me about my shit takes until i've caught up with the rest of you #then you can go ahead and get mad about my shit takes that's fine

I did that celestial challenge I earned last week

I got matched up against duality, a nago I swear I’ve heard of but can’t quite place. anyway, I lost 0-2 but pretty much all of the individual games were down to the wire, so I’m left being irritated that I couldn’t continue the set anyway

I’m kinda tempted to take break from ram for a bit and develop a pocket gio as a change of pace... but I do feel like I’m getting a bit better at defense as ram, so idk if I want to commit to hard

#my air quotes level up end quotes this week has been that I'm getting better at having the presence of mind on defense #to react to an opponent doing a pre-emptive air to air against me in the corner #and running out #and also I've been trying to do side switch combos more #and I've been trying to not go all in on ram corner pressure loops and hang back and play more passive jail situations instead #but I think most/all of that is stuff I can continue to develop with gio since that's all stuff she can do as well #in addition to being more tailored to the kind of close quarters strike throw that I like doing as ram #so we'll see where this goes #it's too bad that this isn't a team game like skirls or kof where I can have a ram shell backing me up

[undeadhousewife]

I love the Yiddish word Mensch because it's like a reverse of 'bless your heart' - it's a complement that absolutely sounds like a vague insult.

#I seriously didn't know it was a good thing for years #I thought my grandmother was being passive aggressive #Granted in my defense grandma usually only used Yiddish to insult people or low key swear #It's one of the few Yiddish words I grew up with I don't use regularly but now that my oldest is seriously studying Yiddish I should maybe #Break it out #I just know I don't say it right according to them but regional and fsmy accents very yeah? #They cringe every time I say kippah

[wiitzend]

it's absolutely bonkers, just off the wall nuts, that my mom and sister have been arguing constantly since 2020 and putting me in the middle of it and then my mom has the nerve to get angry with me when i don't publicly come to her defense despite that causing even more problems when i tried to do that in the past. 'well your other sisters wouldn't just sit there and not speak up for me!' well they also don't have to live with two people who cannot stay in the same room together without arguing every five minutes soooo...what're we gonna do here.

#i know the way my mom and sister react to criticisms by now so i've learned how to phrase something that needs to be said #in a way that ensures they actually listen to what i'm going to say instead of shutting down and getting defensive #and after a while it just gets to be too much because no matter what i say my sister just doesn't seem to get it atp #she's determined to view our mom a certain way and nothing i say is going to change that #i know because i've been trying for the past three years #but my mom thinks i'm keeping quiet out of some sort of 'loyalty' to my twin #a 'loyalty' she's convinced means more to me than my relationship with her as my mom #and that's just not true #so when i tried to explain this to her she basically waved me off and said it wasn't a big deal but like??? #it obviously IS a big deal otherwise you wouldn't have brought it up??? #she does this all the time. something bothers her and she brings it up in these passive aggressive ways #and then claims it's not important/no big deal....but she still continues to point it out #so now she 'views me in a different light' or whatever the hell that means #which means she'll now talk about it to my other sisters so i'm gonna prepare myself now for them to talk about it #which is not going to be pleasant. i can already tell #but none of this shakespearean drama would even be HAPPENING if people could be MATURE and CONSIDERATE #but i guess that's asking a little too much for two grown adults pushing 30 and 60!!!

I Want To Watch Over You

Obtainability: Limited to the "Mitsuru Inami Wants to be Normal" event shop.

MLB Effect: Attack Up [15%] & Defense Up [22.5%]

Effect Definitions:

Attack Up increases the equipped character’s base stats, meaning that its effects are calculated before buffs/debuffs are considered. The effect caps at 100%.

Defense Up increases the target’s base defense stats. Defense Up is generally worse than Damage Cut.

TLDR: A decent three-star memoria, but one that most players aren't going to need. Stick this one in the memoria vault once the event is over with.

Review: A pretty solid, if not boring, three-star memoria. This is broadly applicable for any situation really and at the very least it can't hurt your unit to equip. The Attack Up is decent for a three-star, as is the Defense Up.

Naturally there are better memoria to equip than this, including free welfare memos, but "I Want To Watch Over You" is a solid choice if you're lacking in memoria or just need some filler.

Overall, stick this in the memoria vault once you're done farming, just in case the event gets a rerun.

#my ttrpg session ended a while ago but i'm still so fucking excited about how this case ended that i decided to share my joy with you all #anyways. i killed six people 👍 #The whole time before this point. I was a pretty passive character #even had a weakness tag (we're using the city of mist system) called 'gives up easily' #But then we went into a circus that used our Traumatic Backstories against us #and I finally cracked my whole personality theme and went ham. got to kill five people with Stop Holding Back #I am now on my employer's watch list because technically the last three people i killed weren't killed in self defense #i hunted them down vicious style👍 I love my character's downward spiral #i'm very stoked to ruin him more. I need him to suffer as much as possible before he gets better #that's just how it works #my new theme is now bastion: mutual destruction :) #i'm so ready to be a menace and threat to society

the version of hq!! i’m watching has a far better quality of translation than the one i saw in 2015 so i have a better handle of the game logistics but as far as interpersonal dialogue, it’s much more committed to translating the emotion of the vocal performance rather than just the words, but it’s still not overly westernized that it’s scraping to equate certain cultural signals

#tsukishima has a fairly smaller presence in the first season (it’s setting up for the full backstory in season 2) #but i’m catching more subtleties especially in regards to his friendship with yamaguchi #they’re my forever blorbos but ive always thought their relationship outside of the team dynamic was unclear or lost in translation at times #incomprehensible ​ranting -> #there’s definitely an imbalance but tsukishima has never tried to control what yamaguchi does #when yams goes to learn the jump float serve its a departure but tsuk is like whatever yams said he had something to do so i won’t pry #so tsuk is very passive and uncaring (as a defense mechanism) and it’s literally a miracle that yams has stayed his friend #it’s the remaining thread he has. why even continue to play volleyball? he’s obviously attached to it but feigns disinterest #and yams is the only other person who knows this and who will ever know this. #(i’m pretty sure tsuks whole issue with akiteru is never said out loud and yams only knows bc he was literally there when it happened)

Hey, let's talk about anons like this, because I know some people haven't been in a position to see the patterns these play out in on broader scale and may indeed not spot the trap.

And it is a trap.

An ask like this has several purposes.

First, it uses social justice language in passive aggressive and manipulative ways to try to coerce a behavior. In this case, the desired behavior is usually for the recipent to participate in community shunning and/or harrassment. The language above is intended to put the recipient on the defensive where, in the haste to disassociate themself from the Bad Thing, they quickly disassociate themself from the bad person, often with no particular fact checking or evidence.

The message is also intended to create a sense of being surveilled and judged by an unknown amount of people with unknown amount of social power and an unknown amount of relevance to your life.

Notice that these asks are usually framed as if they are coming from a follower or potential follower, someone who is addressing you personally and who cares about your opinion and who your blog has an effect on. However this is usually.... very much not the case. If you've ever had the misfortune to watch a gossip campaign from like this from the outside, you will very quickly notice that messages like this get sent in mass batches to dozens and dozens of strangers. (You can often turn these up with a tumblr search, if you look.)

The sender does not know you and probably does not follow you. They have a person they don't like (possibly for their stated reason and possibly not), and they are going through the reblogs of a post from that blog and mass messaging *everyone* with a form letter. They will not see your response and they will probably never even see your blog again.

Which brings us to the second goal of whisper campaigns like this:

Notice that I blacked out the names above? That's because when the recipient answers anonymous asks like this, they provide a platform for the opinion on their blog. An anonymous message like this that gets posted doesn't just spread gossip and apply pressure to the recipient, it is spread to the recipient's entire community.

The *goal* is to get access to your community. The *goal* is to use you as a soapbox.

Is the information accurate? Did anyone check? Does the anon have an ulterior social motive? BIG SHRUG

If you go into the comments on one of these whisper campaigns you will see that *most people never bother to check.*

They assume good faith from a follower, they're off balance defending themselves, and they jump straight to conciliation.

It's a really, really effective form of social manipulation, and really really commonly misused.

#Curlicue has opinions

wilson is so obviously gay that i don’t even consider it a headcanon.

he meets women and he genuinely tries to be their friends. they pursue him, and he lets it happen. he gives them everything they want, and he never asks them to do anything for him. he doesn’t want them to even try meet any of his needs, because they can’t. then, when he realises that he’s unfulfilled, he lets other women pursue him and lets those relationships happen too, but he’s still unfulfilled. his wives and girlfriends all leave him, and he lets it happen without much of a fight because he’s not really attached to them. he canonically has problems getting it up.

he’s a completely passive non-participant in his relationships. the only person he ever fights to stay with is house. the only person he takes the initiative to leave is house. the only person he opens up to and has fun with and actually does things with is house. he actively ignores and tries to get away from his partners in favour of spending time with house. his wives blame house for breaking up their marriages and think house is a home wrecker. house constantly tries to come out as bisexual and wilson is completely in denial and just ignores it every time. he gets weirdly defensive when people assume that he and house are together.

rsl i’m sorry but you really did play the gayest little fucker in the history of television.
