The Soushi in BTL is the Soushi that came out from Misao’s body in HAE?

Soushi's body was assimilated at the end of season 1, so he just didn't have a body to stay in on this side of the horizon. The body Kurusu was in was originally intended for Soushi, but Soushi wasn't strong enough to take over the body yet after the Neo UN bombed Kurusu's swarm.

Kurusu protected Soushi and kept the body his Mir had grown for him because he had been looking for another existence who thought the sky was beautiful. Because Soushi also thought the sky was beautiful he protected his existence.

When Kususu's existence left the body he was protecting for Soushi, I think that Kurusu's Mir must have been the one to keep Soushi from disappearing (because Tatsumiyajima's Mir wasn't very strong at the time because Orihime was so young had been weakened by Kurusu's Mir).

At that point Soushi was strong enough his existence wouldn't disappear, so he was able to be the only one in the body without disappearing.

Or at least, that's what I've gathered from watching Heaven and Earth about how Soushi got a new body. And since Behind the Line takes place between Heaven and Earth and Exodus, this is the body Soushi would have had during Behind the Line as well. Soushi is still the same existence, and the new body was grown specifically for him, so I've always assumed that it was similar enough to his original body and that he's still the same as he was in the first season, except now he has more knowledge about and a connection with the Festum.

What do you think about Soushi sleepiness in BTL?

I've finally watched BTL this week, so I can answer this now!

It was a cute way of softening his showa era boss shtick. Honestly, the whole biorhythm thing also seemed like a backhanded way of connecting him to KoSoushi. No, seriously.

Can you see how the roles begin to reverse here, audience? Can you see how truly similar they can be when Soushi doesn't suppress his emotions?

( 💢◠‿◠ ) these demons....

He even sleeps while Kazuki is telling him about his life expectancy, a very serious topic. I wonder if he just ended up staying over at his place like that (give me 11 doujins of that please).

Apparently something chief director Noto Takashi said at Anime Japan 2023 caused some commotion among fans. I found a tweet where someone transcribed what he said:

「脚本に眠くなる総士を入れてくれとはいった。隙がある総士が欲しかった。 一騎の前では隙だらけの総士。 あそこは友達というか細胞レベルで繋がってる友情。 自分の一部みたいな感じなので隙だらけです」 “I asked to include a sleepy Soushi in the script. Soushi lets his guard down in front of Kazuki. Better than saying they're friends, what they have is a friendship that's connected at cellular level. He feels like he's a part of him, so his guard is down."

.....Right.

When It's Noto saying it really feels like he is talking about pure love and friendship ❤ however since it is Ubukata writing it also feels like ooh... 🌚 is there some kind of fucked up setting underlying that statement? That may as well have become biologically true after two years of constant crossing and an implied connection through the mir. I'm probably thinking too much.

Behind the Line

This just came in my head and I say: "Okay, how do I do it?"

Basically, I want to try something.

I want to start a series where I present a common saying like: "Show, don't tell" and then ask whether or not it's agreeable with you.

Many people will have different opinions, but it's a good thing to see how others perceive it.

...

Thinking about it, this series can also apply to common situations and stuff.

...

Looking back at some things I've seen, it's not far off from other things.

...

Also, it's been a few weeks... Will anyone ever see this?

Maybe not.

But if you're reading this... Hello, I'm just starting out.

They take us back further behind the line than usual, back to an infantry base depot, so that they can get our company up to strength.

i have lots of flaws but i do at least take a fair amount of comfort knowing that, if i were a customer NPC in a fast food/retail management game, i would be one of the chill early-level ones that can wait a super long time before they start getting impatient, and you breathe a sigh of a relief when you see them show up in a harder level

#buny text #was standing in line at popeyes today and they were SUPER busy and the staff couldn't even take my order for a while #and the guy at the till was like 'so sorry for the wait we'll get to you soon i promise' and i was like hey no worries 👍 #and he gave me this look that i understood from my own time in retail to mean 'thank you for being fucking normal' #there was nobody else behind me cuz i showed up at the very end of the lunch rush i think #and in that moment i just pictured like. a lil timer wheel above my head that was still green and mostly full lmao #i love being nice to retail workers it's so fun

A friend of mine had this idea, and I’d love to see it in an urban fantasy: magic is real and it stays secret because it looks like bad CGI. The fakest thing ever.

People who witness magic in person can always have their minds clouded, as they have been for most of human history, but all this newfangled technology has to be handled a different way. A video camera records exactly what it sees.

So, what it sees is … something that looks laughably fake. For any time period. The various secret magicians of the world make a point to keep their spells up to date with the current mundane trends — some of them even have running contests for who can make the most fake-looking spell.

I imagine they have a great time doing it. I sure would.

#writing prompts #magic #urban fantasy #secret magic #magic in the mundane world #somebody write this #it would be amazing #possibly a challenge to describe #but put a good narrating character in there and you should be set #‘it looked like somebody scribbled with MSPaint across the room’ #‘then the dude was suddenly on the floor’ #‘with stink lines or something coming off him?’ #‘then there was this new scribble that looked like a toothy face’ #‘and that’s when I bolted down the alley’ #‘if I’m gonna lose touch with reality I’ll do it from the safety of my own home’ #‘hiding behind the door. with a baseball bat.’

Prompt 74

When a new black-haired blue-eyed person appeared in the manor, one could easily be forgiven for thinking that Bruce’s adoption problem had struck again. So color many a batkid surprised that no, this kid isn’t a new sibling, no he didn’t get grabbed from the street, and actually he’s here for Alfred. Apparently Alfred never found it important to mentioned that he has a husband- that the kid kind of implies isn’t human what with the casual way he says he himself is half human- and that this kid is apparently their child. For once it’s Bruce’s turn to come home to a surprise sibling. 

Danny on the other hand just learned that his Clockpa has a semi-mortal partner who has offered to take him in, (in another dimension even! And there’s aliens!!) while the ancient takes care of some stuff at home. And yeah it’s in a rich-manor but Sam has proved that not all rich people are evil, and based off of Mr Pennyworth’s stories the Waynes weren’t bad either. Though based off of the others’ reactions perhaps he should wait to mention that there wasn’t one new family member but three…

#dcxdp #dpxdc #prompts #clockworth #Clockwork is taking care of the GIW #they crossed the line when they took his kids #fuck the observants telling him not interfere- he's going to channel some Kronos and eat some people #hey if they want a mindless and dangerous ghost they can deal with the one behind tales of a world serpent #Alfred is honestly pleased to hear from his partner and to meet their children #Reminds him of when he first met Clockwork and they took down a government branch #lovely times #would do the date again #Danny is in awe about food that doesn't fight back and tastes good #Alfred is also great! He teaches him proper gun safety and makes sure he gets a proper amount of sleep and its great #honestly he can't wait for Ellie to get to this world but she really wanted to finish exploring the mariana trench first #And Jordan is apparently helping Clockpa with something for the last bit of his probation #Jazz is just happy for him but sad she couldn't come #but she has college that she worked really hard for so he gets it #the batfam are so confused and concerned

I can’t get enough of Soushi in BTL. I think BTL has the cutest Soushi

I 100% agree! Soushi is always handsome, but he's extra cute in Behind the Line!

He made some pretty cute expressions in this spin-off episode. I also loved the scenes where Kazuki commented on him being awkward. Soushi is awkward in the most adorable ways! But he can also go from cute nerd to badass battle commander and strategist on a dime. I love him so much!

Soushi might have sprinted to his room right after he finished his “business”.

Now that you mentioned it, I’m totally agree: “nobody went to his room”. Wasn’t it too convenient? The scene gives the impression as if that particular scene was scrapped/roughly edited to give & not to give any suggestion.

Hm yeah. The flow of time is a bit weird because we don't see Soushi go back to Alvis after that and it cuts to the next day. That's the magic of having an ensemble cast, probably. Mostly. Still want the doujins tho.

Tbh knowing Soushi, the prospect of having commander Fumihiko see him sleep like that would probably make him wake up and leave immediately. Well, maybe since HaE their relationship became more relaxed, as it seems to be normal for him to spend time at their home anyway.

I think what it being edited like that may be implying is two things 1. that Soushi at that moment was beginning to step down from his role as a guide and 2. that Kazuki is a lone dog son of a bitch (by novel Kouyou™) after all and no matter how close one gets to him no one knows his heart = room.

And his room is small and empty.

#HOWEVER during the two years of unconscious crossing Soushi was probably in his room countless times. Indirectly. Huh #really it took them 18 years to show the previous protagonist's room at all.... #it just adds to Kazuki's unworldy-ness #well we don't even know how Soushi's house looks like for that matter #yuuya answers #spoilers #behind the line

"will lokius go canon this season?" thats the not the question here. It's marvel. I know they won't. But i want to see just how close they will get to it. How much will they get away with? How much of the story they want to tell will make it through?

#you don't omit the s*lkie kiss from the s1 recap #and name one of the soundtrack songs “Lokius” #without this mindset #cause of course its Disney #but there are people behind the scenes fighting hard #and I see that #I came from the spn fandom #I was a destiel shipper on the front lines #I know how this works #lokius #loki #loki s2
