Find it very interesting that Chai is labeled as a slacker and is on paper having no prior work experience + is called an idiot on several occasions + is stated to be a college dropout

And somehow he managed to get into college in the first place

I'm going to be contrarian and say this man actually had a scholarship but struggled with certain aspects of academia, consequently losing the funding he needed and forcing him to struggle to find a career with no credentials and no experience

#mel talks hi fi rush #you can find ways to get through school by doing the bare minimum #and with how Chai is I'm willing to bet he saddled up a bunch of extracurriculars that helped him qualify #for said scholarships #I would even goes as far to say he is fully capable of studying things he has interest in but #lacked a support network to assist with things he struggled with #and who is to say he didn't do odd jobs or run errands to get enough to survive #but had no idea how to put that in a resume #the beacon (original intro song / streamer mode version) has very telling lyrics to me #also unrelated but the disability commentary is there and it leaves such an impact in my eyes #will one day make a post talking about my favorite line #edit: saw a lot of people saying it's not a serious game so Chai might have just dropped out to get said arm #which I'm not... a fan of #I could see the possibility and 100% get behind the reasoning #and still manage to make it super angsty because (vague gesture)#but this makes way more sense to me personally #gods is it apparent I have no one to infodump and discuss this game with

Sins, Virtues, and Motivations: A Critical Analysis of Characters in Shall We Date?: Obey Me!

In this essay, I will argue that each demon brother some of the demon brothers can be associated with a sin (no duh), a virtue, and a core motivation--and that this motivation is best pursued through a synthesis of that sin and that virtue. Hegel would be very proud. Yes, this is critical media analysis. No, I will not try to explain the twisted, broken path that led me to this point in my life.

I will be looking at Lucifer, Mammon, and Levi in this study. Their core sins are obvious - Pride, Greed, and Envy. Their accompanying Virtues and Motivations are listed below.

I used the Seven Heavenly Virtues for this little game. These are Prudence, Justice, Fortitude, Temperance, Faith, Hope, and Charity.

They should not be confused with the Seven Capital Virtues, which are inversions of the Seven Deadly Sins. These are Humility, Charity, Kindness, Patience, Chastity, Temperance, and Diligence. I tried these first and damn were none of them easy to match up. Tell me, fandom for this mobile game designed for players to lust over hot demon men, which brother should have the "chastity" virtue?

Lucifer

Core Sin: Pride. Core Virtue: Fortitude. Core Motivation: To protect his family.

Lucifer's core motivation is to protect his brothers. He looks at this as a sort of penance for the outcome of the Great Celestial War. He knows that he's the reason they rebelled, and he feels responsible for their wellbeing. He is able to endure the relentless pressure of the responsibilities he puts on himself thanks to his core virtue, fortitude.

Fortitude is strongly associated with courage. Specifically, it is courage in the face of pain and adversity. We see him displaying this trait any time those he cares for are in jeopardy, and it often helps him make difficult decisions where neither outcome is ideal. Lucifer is decisive, canny, and accepts the consequences of his choices, good or bad.

His driving motivation is also bolstered by his core sin: pride. He views himself as ultra-competent, while his brothers consistently make mistakes; beyond that, it's only natural that he take responsibility for the choices of his brothers (like the choice to join him in rebelling) because he is so significant an influence as to virtually rob them of their autonomy.

This has led to Lucifer having a somewhat toxic relationship with his brothers. Lucifer often acts as a parental figure rather than a peer, while the rest of them are all in arrested development of some sort, often acting more like kids than the adults they insist they are.

Lucifer either doesn't recognize that by doing everything for the family on his own, he's stemming their ability to grow and learn, or he does know the consequences of what he's doing and he feels conflicted about it. He ultimately blames himself for the fact that they're all in the Devildom in the first place, living as avatars of sins to the extent that they struggle to function as independent adults.

So, while fortitude and pride allow Lucifer to simulate the act of protecting his family, it's a matter of perspective whether controlling every element of their lives is protection or harmful coddling.

Mammon

Core Sin: Greed. Core Virtue: Charity. Core Motivation: To be valued and valuable.

Mammon is simultaneously a vessel of greed and its inverse, charity. This is because his core motivation is twofold, and those are the rewards of greed and charity; to be valued - to fulfill a want, to be desired, to look flippin' cool - and to be valuable - to fulfill a need, to have inherent worth, to serve a purpose.

Setting aside his unhealthy relationship with money, let's examine how Mammon behaves and what his deeper interpersonal motivations tend to be. He clearly places a high value on his brothers and MC, and he has shown on multiple occasions that he is willing to put himself at risk to help or protect them. Early on in both the original game and in NightBringer, Mammon attempts to heroically rescue MC (and his younger brothers, in NightBringer). In both cases, though, Lucifer shows up and does it for him. Mammon's pursuit of his core motivation clashes with Lucifer's quest for his, and Lucifer is strong enough to simply take it from him. Although in NightBringer he and his brothers do earn the not-insubstantial reward of the title "Lords of the Underworld" after Lucifer's rescue, he appeared so dejected by Lucifer's oneupmanship that he spent a good portion of the next day sulking. In the original game, Mammon wants MC to promise that they won't be saved by anyone else besides him in the future. It appears that his greed for an improved status in his interpersonal relationships is left unfulfilled.

Mammon wants to be heroic - to be valuable - and he wants to be admired for it - to be valued. The cognitive dissonance that accompanies motivations like these is all that sustains a person with such a diminished sense of self-worth.

Speaking of a diminished sense of self worth...

Leviathan

Core Sin: Envy. Core Virtue: Hope. Core Motivation: To find joy in the things that give him joy.

Confusing motivation? Yes it is. But envy is a confusing sin. All the other sins--pride, greed, wrath, lust, gluttony, and sloth--are enjoyable to indulge on some level. Losing your temper when you feel you've been wronged, or eating a bunch of delicious food, or sleeping through the snooze alarm: We know why we do those things. We might regret them later, but we indulge them in the moment because of the enjoyable side.

There is nothing enjoyable about envy. Wanting something that isn't yours, that belongs to someone else, be it tangible goods, talents, a partner, a job... is nauseating. And it makes you feel like a bad person, and it drains the joy out of things that you used to love. Speaking from personal experience for a second, when I was a teenager, I played music in a company with a much younger musician who was incredibly talented, and I was deeply envious of her. I wanted her talent; I wanted the praise she received; I wanted to impress people; I wanted what she had. But there was nothing I could do. I hated feeling that way, but I couldn't shake it. And it ate away at my desire to play music. It took the joy out of something that once gave me joy.

You see the connection?

Levi struggles to find pleasure in anything he does, despite how many interests he has, because, in spite of his blustering dismissal of all things "normie", he is deeply envious of those he perceives as his social superiors. Now, I am not in any way saying that Levi is or would be an inc3l, but there's an element of his character that has a strong parallel to inc3l culture. The idea that there is something fundamentally wrong with him that prevents him from achieving what he wants socially and that the only way he can protect himself from those who would ridicule him is with a defensive contempt for the group that rejects him... Does any of that sound familiar?

But Levi is not an inc3l. No, not because you're willing to **** him and his two *****, though I'm sure that helps. It's because he has his core virtue: hope.

Have you ever heard of the black pill? It's kind of like the final stage of inc3l culture, where you accept that you're not an alpha male, you'll never be one, you'll never be accepted by a woman, you're ugly and unloveable, and you might as well just stop existing. It is sheer despair.

Levi maintains hope for the future, even if he prefers not to admit it out of fear of jinxing himself. He is able to form a deep bond with MC, who he views as a "normie", without renouncing his hobbies or being mocked for them. In fact, I would argue that the anxiety Levi sometimes displays over the possibility of being made fun of (for example, in NightBringer when he considers trying out cosplay) is emblematic of the hope he has that he can be accepted.

"But wait, daytaker," you say. "That doesn't sound like he's making progress towards his core motivation of getting joy out of the things that bring him joy! Being self conscious is not joyful!" Well, you're right. What Levi needs is to somehow find the right balance between enjoying his hobbies and allowing himself to enjoy other people as well. As we can see from his effusive excitement in sharing his favorite games and stories with MC and his brothers, the social component of media consumption is a major component in making it enjoyable. If Levi loses hope, he loses that connection to the world offline, and if he loses that connection, he loses the joy.

this is prob a stupid question but i'm starting to watch motogp this year and rosquez is crazy and i'm falling into this hole! what i don't get about sepang 2015 is what's the telemetry thing, like i know what telemetry is, but is it really possible for vale to see marc's telemetry and data??? is that allowed??? (and sorry for my english! i love your blog ♡ thanks for sharing your thoughts with us)

essentially. honda claims marc's data exonerates him-> i think the FIM asked honda to release it just to shut everyone up-> honda said no thats stupid-> vale takes case to sports-court where presumably they look at data-> marc got cleared/said no vale. you lost.->honda and FIM realized marc was getting death threats and shit-> no data for you crazy people jesus christ make it stop. so no! vale never got to see marc's data from sepang or phillip island in 2015 that i could find (could be wrong! please give me sources otherwise if soooo)... that being said, i think the idea that marc's riding in PI that year and sepang was a deliberate sabotage doesnt come from hard evidence so much as the eyeball test. from uccio. i think this because he said it! in an article! to reporters! (its in spanish here, a few translated quotes on reddit here) where. he straight up admits that he initially noticed a pattern in marc's riding style (FROM WATCHING. ON TV.) that he thought was deliberate sabotage (keeping vale behind him and slowing down so he couldnt fight jorge for the win in PI. again he divined this incredible insight through the intimate wisdom of the television screen) and then he brought it to vale. two delusional girls telling each other exactlyyyyyyyy... this is also the impetus of some of the quotes that TO MEEE indicate that uccio was uh. a little weird about marc and marc and vale's relationship SPECIFICALLY and PERSONALLY

anyways me when im normal.

#maybe they looked at yamaha data! but uccio was. definitely an influence. as ive said before its giving iago.#the reddit post is also where we get ipad stand. crucial scholarship there.#motogp #callie speaks #asks #everyone in the comments being like why does he sound jealous???#also never apologize for speaking more languages than meeee your english is perfect. kiss.

Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992), surely one of the most misleading film titles of all time. [...] Dracula was cursed to wander, lovesick, throughout eternity, regardless of Bram Stoker’s intentions.

Get 'em David J. Skal, one of the world’s preeminent authorities on Bram Stoker, Dracula, and monsters in popular culture! You get 'em!

#oooooo he said it!#i live for published literary scholarship drama #just the idea of stuffy professors being like 'You fuck with Bram? You gonna catch these hands!'#dracula #bram stoker #re: dracula #dracula fandom #dracula daily #dracula (novel)#bram stokers dracula
