Simon and Marcy's relationship through the years

So I finally watched the Stakes miniseries in Adventure Time and I think like I finally understand Marceline and her motivations better, especially regarding Simon.

So seeing the stuff with Marcy's mom from Stakes I think it's pretty clear why she sent Marcy away in the first place.

She didn't want Marcy to see her die. It could be any general post-apocalyptic illness I suppose but with a mutagenic bomb I'm gonna assume it's some sort of radiation poisoning. Marcy is little here, between 5-7 so I don't think she processed why her Mom 'abandoned' her, only the hurt left behind. We see she hadn't really accepted/understood until Distant Land's Obsidian.

So that fear of abandonment translates over to Simon who, also, is forced to leave 'for her safety'. So, objectively, it's about the crown, how he's slowly losing himself and could potentially hurt her. I had asked, right from the start of my AT watch 'why does he keep putting the crown on?' We see in Simon & Marcy, its as a deterrent against the dangers of a post-war world. But Marcy was important to him, surely he could find some other way, I mean look at this

This is not a man eager to leave behind the child in his care. So why did he?

And after watching Marcy's mom succumb to radiation poisoning it hit me. Simon left Marcy for the same reason her mom did: to spare her the pain of watching a parent die. Here are the lyrics from I Remember You

"This magic keeps me alive / but it's making me crazy"

The crown was keeping him alive through the apocalypse, if it wasn't poisoning from the bomb it might have been something else. Marcy, being half demon, was protected but Simon was totally human without the crown's protection. Simon realized he had no choice but to leave her: by dying as a human like her mother or lost to madness of the crown. So he left, to ensure she didn't have to see either one. It was probably the hardest decision he ever made and he felt guilty enough to write Marcy a note. He wrote it on the back of a picture of Marcy so she'd see it but she didn't get to read it until almost a millennia later. But for a thousand years, Marcy harbored resentment towards Simon and later Ice King.

Marcy stated she originally became a vampire hunter to protect the remaining humans, thinking it was an extension of protecting her one time protector. She grieved his loss in her life greatly which turned into bitterness and frustration. Marceline was seemingly abandoned by two close parental figures in her early childhood which -coupled with vampirism and living unchanging for centuries- turned her into apathetic, isolated punk rocker we meet at the start of the series.

We don't know when Marcy and Ice King formally met but we know they didn't have much interaction in the main Adventure Time series until I Remember You. If I were to guess, Marcy probably tried to get through to Simon briefly before giving up and then avoiding him. She probably assumed he left her for the power of the crown, her own hurt clouding the memories of Simon's actions and his words to her.

We know Simon reached out to her multiple times, tracking her down and spending time with her without really knowing why. Marcy, it seemed, did her level best to just avoid him. Until she finds the note Simon left for her.

It doesn't explain everything but it's enough for Marcy to understand the important bits: that Simon did not leave her willingly, that he loved her and seeking forgiveness for his future actions as the Ice King. After this episode, we see Marcy hanging out with Ice King of her own volition and, to the best of my knowledge, she only refers to him as "Simon" from now on.

It's a big step for her, who has clung to this hurt and anger for a long, long time. To look at a man who doesn't remember her and open her heart just a crack to let him through again. I think the note from the past plus the singing in the present gave Marcy a way to bridge this crazy wizard to her old friend. One of my favorite details in the song is we hear Tom Kenny's distinctive dopey Ice King voice throughout it until we get to the last few harmonizing Da Da's. Maybe it's my imagination but the last few tones on his end are softer, more human, closer to the Simon of memory.

Its a reminder to Marcy and to us that Simon was still there.

TLDR: Marcy's mom sent her away so her daughter wouldn't watch her die and Simon chose to do the same since he would have died without the crown. Marcy hung onto this grief for years shaping it into her early AT self. I Remember You gave Marcy closure on assuring Simon's affections for her and why he left. It was also when she finally saw him for the first time in Ice King and began to allow him back into her life which led to him being freed. These two make me so emotional.

I guess I cannot shut up about the homunculus, huh? I call this one:

The Head(ache) Skeleton Key

Get it cause I'm gonna get a headache if I overthink this

So, I'm thinking about that old concept art ishiwatari made that had a.b.a's beta design, which, wasn't really that different, aside from her top having an x mark, her holding a sorta small ax and chewing on either a key shaped lollipop or a key (later concept art which I assume is after her design started to simmer shows the first option, but as we don't know if those are related, we can only speculate) but the big difference was... Paracelsus! He was a carbon copy of A.B.A's head key (no, before you ask, they didn't give her finalized key a skeleton design to homage betacelsus, both para and her key were supposed to be the same!) albeit with more detail.

Maybe this lore wasn't planned yet but... Yknow how in Strive interviews we learn Paracelsus taking on a key form was related to him trying to hold A.B.A's attention?

What if beta paracelsus straight up shapeshifted exactly into her head key as a stronger way to gain her trust? Let's be real, being born with that skeleton key, I theorize it's one of A.B.A's most consistent things about her enviroment. Whatever shit happens she has a skeleton shaped key in her noggin, always. (Though it seems to have changed a bit in strive, of course! But you could argue before all that the key was kept in place.. classic a.b.a's head key is rusty, I wonder if her creator just didn't care about her getting tetanus or it just actually deteriorated by not being well-kept :( )

That'd make paracelsus' shapeshifting more insidious... But of course we don't even know if betacelsus was even alive or just an idk demonic looking cool (inanimate?) Weapon. It's what I ASSUME to be very early concept art, not in the final product and, hell, if I understood well the strive interviews, the implication was that para's shapeshifting into a key isn't complete, so the "yeah by xx era he has perfectly shapeshifted into her skeleton key but upscaled" wouldn't work.

You thought the post was over? Nope! You get a buy one get 1 extra rambling free offer!

Part of me ponders if the skeleton key thing is a reference to.. actual skeleton keys! I'll paste their wikipedia definition so you know why that name:

A skeleton key (also known as a passkey[1]) is a type of master key in which the serrated edge has been removed in such a way that it can open numerous locks,[2] most commonly the warded lock. The term derives from the fact that the key has been reduced to its essential parts.[2]

As far as I've been able to find, japanese says a word translated as master key for master keys, but I haven't been able to find if the skeleton type is a thing in japanese or if it even shares the naming. However, I don't understand japanese (it was by translator) so please take my pondering about the existance of skeleton keys in said language with a mountain of salt.

But, even if that wasn't a term in japanese, whose to say the team didn't pull inspiration from an english term? Thought not the same situation, afaik, they've already chosen a bunch of terms from different languages for some gg topics. Maybe they didn't but it would be a fun coincidence!

A big part of me thinks maybe this isn't this deep and they just went with a beautiful (esp betacelsus with all the spine details) skeleton design cause.. Well, they are creepy which fits A.B.A's vibe pretty well, lol

#I do have theories abt why the fuck was a.b.a even BORN with a key in her head before getting obsessed w keys #but this post is already massive and rambly.. ah. such is the life of the a.b.a fan! sorry for all the ramble. hope someone else finds this #interesting #long post #<- veeery long post!!#a.b.a #text tag2b named

Translation of HijiGin manga: Diary Exchange by saki1010_gt (Twitter)

I think about this manga literally once a week because I think it's akin to something Sorachi would write, so I'm sharing a translation here!

MANGA LINK | Out of courtesy to the artist I'm not reposting her art here, please visit the tweet, refer to the translation as you read along, and show the artist some love!

And the link to the Twitter thread of this translation if anyone is interested!

Translation

[page 1]

G: Oh, so you like me, huh, Vice Chief-san?

G: That's not a good joke to go along with this alcohol.

H: Even so, this is a once-in-a-lifetime confession. Don't make light of it.

G: Hmm.

G: Well, if you say it like that,

G: I can probably answer you through a diary exchange.

H: ...

H: Okay, sure!!

[page 2]

H: Who would have thought that a man one would assume to have dysfunctional relationships like him would suggest a diary exchange?

H: 70% of the world's HijiGin starts with physical contact (based on experience), how hard to get are we being, really? Even rural middle school students are more chill in their relationships than us.

H: Still, handwriting and way with words are also treasure troves of information on one's personality.

H: Maybe it's unexpectedly also a good way to know more about this guy who is the hardest to understand in all of Gintama.

H: I gave him some questions in my first diary I passed to him so he wouldn't have too much trouble writing his, let's see what his reply is...

G: The fleeting spring is slipping away and the heat is encroaching upon us, but I hope you are doing well as you are... Or whatever, doing that each time is a pain so I'm just gonna talk normally from now on like you told me.

H: Hmph, he's unexpectedly a decent writer.

G: Um, first off, my favorite food, right? It'd have to be sweets for sure. Anko and dango are my favorites, but recently I'm into fresh cream too... Yaaawn. I woke up early today so I'm getting kind of sleepy...

H: Hm?

K: My favorite food is sukonbu.

[page 3]

K: I can eat boxes and boxes of sukonbu. I also like foods that go well with rice. Stuff like seaweed tsukudani is the best.

H: Why is the China girl the one answering!? Anyway, the diary exchange thing got completely found out by the kids! Whatever happened to his personal life!?

S: A place I'd like to go have fun at would be a Terakado Tsuu concert.

H: Glasseees!! You too!?

S: Ah, but you don't have to trouble yourself with going with me. I'll just go with the Yorozuya. You can just get us the amount of tickets we need.

H: Plus, he's rude and no fun at all!

G: Wait, what? I was dozing off and suddenly the page got filled up somehow.

H: Yorozuya, realize that you've been infiltrated by an entity called your family! And either way, why don't you read the page back a little!

G: But this kind of thing isn't bad, too. I can say stuff that are hard to say out loud here. To be honest, about you, I... I actually quite...

H: *ba-dump* Huh? Yorozuya?

[SADAHARU PAW PRINT]

G: Man, that's so out of character to say! I'll never write that again! Well, then, until next time. —Gintoki

H: THAT DOOOOOOG!!! I CAN'T READ THE MOST IMPORTANT PAAAAART!!!

It continues @hateweasel

-I never listened to Fly me to the moon - but I always connect it to a canon kiss between two queer characters in a trilogy I really like bc after it one of them goes back to his room while humming it. Then that arc of yours with the crazy villain dude who sang it came and past me was afraid it would ruin my good memory associated with the song (but I genuinely forgot it until now).

-I wasn't impressed with that arc's villain's intelligence and didn't understand his beef with Ciel since from what I understood back then it was his own fault for touching sacred objects wrong??? Like don't be surprised if you get cursed while playing with ancient magic artifacts dude...(not criticism towards the author, just the character who's being needlesly petty lmao)

-I then said, and i have really no context for it but that just makes it funnier: "Ciel seems unimpressed...Wich is peak Ciel behavior, but this time he's right." I guess it was about the arc's villain?

- Cameron [about Alois, Ciel and Audrey]: They are horrible supernatural creatures that kill people!!!!

Me back then: Bestie, Audrey is just half reaper? He doesn't do a reaper job either??? And reapers don't kill anyway they just collect the souls of the dead???

(I understood that he was manipulated by the villain so he probs got a lot of shit wrong. Before the whole "trying to get back with Kris while he's amnesiac", me and my friend gave him the benefit of the doubt and defended him a bit. But reading this now its still funny to me)

-Me shitting on the arc's villain name with my friend. I didn't even remember the whole name but I was sure it sucked and we were very vocal about it (again, bullying the character, not the author). I just generally had beef with the dude ig, I realized just now that I kept insulting him for everything...

-i was SO hype about the rest of the 7 going around spying Cielois on a date...wich. understandable. It's peak me behavior. I'm there for the funny hijinks. You actually call them "the backseat boys" while they're on a taxi in that chapter, i realize in my first reread, and it always makes me lose it for the giggles since I assume it's a reference to the backstreet boys? I don't know them I just know the name but ITS A FUNNY PUN.

-Oh God DaffyDucks's introduction chapter...The moment he was fighting with the seven to sit next to Alois my gaydar buzzed, no lie. After he started being sleazy with Alois, I was genuinely just creeped out and annoyed by him troughtout the whole arc and never really stopped. I hate him even now. I cheered when Ciel kicked his ass.

-DLTD: By that afternoon, Ciel had rid himself of the rest of the sensational seven

Me: LOL

DLTD: ...(including Alois)

Me: ... :(

Me: NO WAIT I MISREAD!! IT SAYS EXCLUDING!!! :DD

(Genuine Rollercoaster of emotions I had while reading that single sentence)

-Gabriel Bailey saying he would stop being a cop made me so sad. I was like "More power to you but I'm gonna miss you dude" cause I thought we wouldn't see him again?

Then my friend said "You know, cops saying they will stop being cops in fiction is usually a death flag" and I shat myself.

-I genuinely said (and I'm Copypasting) "NHA BC CIEL AND DAFFYDUCK DO BE HAVING SOME TENSION IF U KNOW WHAT I MEAN 💀" and then i followed it with (not Copypasting but translating in english) "Nha I'm kidding. Daffyduck isn't blonde he's got no chance."

-I said this at like 4 am. At 11:31 I then barged into the chatroom after this hours long silence with "Okay so DaffyDuck is an ally now but I still hate his guts".

- I then said "In the end DaffyDuck was working with the bad guys like i thought at the beginning of the arc but he was only being manipulated. I gave him much more importance than what he has." and my friend jokingly pointed out that a lot of people get manipulated in DLTD so I said "To be fair it's a common trope in every story, but not as many stories are so long as to have space for many repetition, so it's understandable that it happens a lot in this"

this was never in the history of forever ever gonna happen and i understand why it didn't and why it won't but i would've died 1000 deaths for a male mc in mcl. not even just in new gen, i would've loved to be gay asf in hsl, ul and ll too:') this isn't like a critique or anything but a guy can dream right😂😂?

lol anyway, just wondering if maybe you have any recs for otome with male/gn mc? or if not if you know someone who might? mcl is the only one I've ever gotten really into so i don't know about any other games like it 🙃

I'm sorry, friend. I really wish you and everyone were able to play the game as you wish and wouldn't have to "adapt" to what is available. Unfortunately some features like a male MC or multiple f/f routes are too expensive for a small company like Beemoov.

Tbh I haven't seen many otome games with a male MC around, otome by definition have female protagonists. There are lots of BL games around though (BL = boys love) where the MC is gender locked as male and all the crushes are male. I've never played one so I can't recommend any but if you look for BL games I'm sure you're going to find a ton!

Other than BL/yaoi games, there are games with no visuals of the MC so you can assume they are whatever gender you prefer (oten they let you choose pronouns). Generally these games have no illustrations or they do but only show the crushes alone without the MC. A few names I can think of are Arcana, Obey Me, Touchstarved (only the demo is out at the moment), When The Night Comes and other games from the same company (iirc there was some drama around it but I'm not informed). Again, take a look around because there are many! I think these games are generally referred to as Amare games, because they have the same formula of otome games but aren't strictly aimed at a female audience.

The only otome game with visuals I can think of which attempted to have both female and male MC and also multiple routes (5 male and 5 female) is Sweet Elite. However, I would say that it failed in this attempt, because in 12 episodes of the first season, there is only one episode with 1-1 illustrations with the crushes, then there is one episode where there are illustrations of the crushes alone, and everything else is group illustrations, max 2 or 3 per episode. (To me it ended up feeling more like a friendship game than a romance game.)

So, clearly, it's even more proof that when games have a big visual component and also offer customisation, it's basically impossible to have two genders MC. Unless it's a huge company producing them, but I'm not even sure that's the case because Is It Love? games for example were produced by Ubisoft and they didn't even offer look customisation, let alone gender customisation.

Another suggestion I can give you, is to check out mobile apps such as Chapters, Choices and Episodes. These aren't exactly otome games, but more similar to romance books translated as games. They have huge libraries and several titles are either gender locked yaoi or you can pick your own gender. You can even customise the looks of the MC and the crushes, but of course there are no CGs.

Oh, and one last thing that comes to mind, another option for you could be to check out dating app simulation games, basically fake tinder apps, they have lots of crushes each one with their own story, you can choose pronouns but your avatar will never appear in game or in CGs. A few names I remember are MeChat, Love Link, Love Verse, but I'm sure there are more. The stories can be quite entertaining so I suggest you check them out. (I remember MeChat had both a Lysander and a Castiel lookalikes).

So really, there are SO MANY games around that there's no need to stick to one where we have to adapt to game features we don't like. Ultimately MCL's main target audience are straight, cis women (with a very small offering of f/f routes) and I wouldn't stick to it if I weren't one. I remember when I started playing 11 years ago and I was looking for more games in a language I could understand and I could find very little, now instead there's so much competition that there's something for literally everyone.

Good luck with your search, let me know if you find anything you like! 💕

That's definitely the most upset I have seen Gun when I first watched Bloodhounds.. Gunwoo's very protective about people he cares about in his life. And that was also moment he could've won against Inbeon.

But the teamwork between the boys! They're always moving in sync...

Yeah. I noticed they never mention what happens to her mother since we know her father cared for her but never any mention about female figures in her life. Everyone in her life were men. Choi's her guardian - her adoptive grandfather, Lee and Yang are basically like uncles, then Gun and Jin would be the closest to brothers. That's her family. So it's like Gun's mother is literally the only woman you ever seen in her life.

You never hear much about Jin's family either but Gun's mother really took Jin in like he's her own son too. I'm happy they have their family.

And oh my god! I know they're growing boys. But do they have to just eat all the food before anyone else gets a chance to eat. Seriously. I'm happy they're healthy boys, but they need to share that food though.

This is what I could find to explain Korean crime syndicates.

Kkangpae is a romanization of the Korean word that is commonly translated to 'gangster' or 'thug'. The term is commonly used to refer to members of unorganized street gangs. By contrast, members of organized crime gangs are called geondal or jopok.

I may be entirely indulging myself again like I'm always tempted to do anytime I have new obssessions. But that's how I have always been.

Yeah. If you're gonna make gambling illegal for majority of the people in that country, except foreigners, why bother having casino business like that. That always confused me. Like I would understand if you do go on vacation, maybe a place close to home, where you may go to a casino to gamble. But most people I know who visit foreign countries usually go for the culture, not because of gambling. It's so confusing.

They kept saying Takeru was physically the strongest of the brothers, except you barely see him fighting people (not including the shootout with Kuryu). You barely see him fist fighting with people. I don't know.

Well.. Yeah. You mentioned she was the eldest sibling of her family, so that means she would have more responsibility than most people in a way. At least compared to Yui. Since most eldest siblings are like this.

Most of the time... My repetitive speaking (or writing) is unintentional for the most part. That's how I've always spoken. Which, I know, most of my repetitive behaviors annoys people a lot of the time. And then it is an occasional occurrence for me. But! There's even times when I try to have a conversation with someone or just ask a question, if anyone I'm talking to doesn't response to me then I'll assume that they might not have heard me so I'll keep repeating the question until they would respond. I know that's annoying. But don't not respond back either.

I don't know. Just respond just so I won't be repetitively asking some question to that person, then get upset at me like I'm the bad person.

Which is stupid to me. But that always bothered me when people did.

Rocky went on vacation to destress but then stresses up in just some minutes when something happens. Then he probably never plans any vacation again because then he's worried this would happen again.

I think my biggest complaint about Sweet Home.. Was mainly special effects, especially the effects of the monsters. I thought those effects were too cgi. The acting was fine. But the effects could be better.

you can see this kind of longing for a mother figure in ju during that dinner scene with gun’s mum. like she’s more awkward and shy than she is in any other scenes. gun and jin are the annoying older brothers she didn’t want but is now stuck with and, okay, she likes them, but she won’t admit it.

su yeon is such that mother that pseudo-adopts all her son’s friends. that’s her kid too now. cooking for them, worrying about them when she saw jin was also hurt after the fight. she’s so lovely.

like su yeon and ju didn’t even have the long of a conversation! but gun and jin have already eaten all the rolled omelette and started on the other dishes. slow down! and share!!

just finished the 5th episode and that torture scene was so ick. bleugh. i have always wondered what one of those sanders would do to skin though but still. yick.

du cheol looking at ju tho like ‘we look alike don’t we?’ and the simultaneous hair shift. they so ‘cool uncle, broody niece’ vibes. and then teaching her how to fight on her bike!

i’m pretty sure something tragic happens with du cheol or yang jung and i am Not Prepared.

also it’s a tiny thing, but i love the details of bruises and scars. like on the hands especially. it’s just So Good. i love bruises and lil cuts and stuff.

it just seems silly. like why bother? is it really that popular to go gamble in korea? idk. it’s weird. and it’s doing my head in.

there was like one fight scene with takeru i think. like at the start of red rain? they called him the strongest but where was the evidence? i wanna see him fight! i wanna see him brawl!

it’s kinda funny. hiroto’s the youngest sibling and shizuka’s the oldest sibling, they’re kinda dynamic flipped tho, since shizuka’s pretty chill despite being the oldest daughter and hiroto’s so serious despite being the youngest brother (i guess he was an only child for a while tho).

rocky starts giving up his vacation time to koo, who’s concerned because rocky needs time to destress too. i think koo would try to deal with problems on his own tho, as to not worry rocky. kizzy’s immediately on the phone to rocky like ‘help!’.

sweet home just didn’t ‘catch me’ - for lack of a better term - like other shows did. i enjoyed it, but it did take me a while to finish it. i think i watched one episode and then it took me months to watch the second one. i think the cgi effects were a lil shoddy, but it’s also a netflix show and i don’t know how much of a budget they had for cgi stuff. it wasn’t great, but i kinda expect that from netflix shows. nevermind, looked it up, 27 million dollar budget 💀

The Sword of the Solstice.

Chapter Fourteen: The True Purpose.

"Deku? Like 'idiot'? Do you know the significance of that, Chieftain?" The man asks Katsuki. Katsuki nods. "I do." He says, with a frown. “Who are you?” Ochaco asks. “M-mina...” She says, grabbing the bars of her cage. Ochaco smiles. “Nice to meet you, Mina.” She stands, and unhooks the lock on the cage. “Uh, is that a good idea?” The man asks Katsuki. “I refer to one of the people I travelled with Deku, so if she says Deku sent her here, then that must mean he trusted her.” Katsuki explains, and Mina crawls out. She dusts herself off, and removes a leaf from one of her pale yellow horns. She gasps as she gets closer to Ochaco.

“You’re like me...” She whispers. Ochaco nods, sensing Dendar’s presence in Mina. She swallows. “So, you’re a slave of Dendar?” Ochaco asks, and Mina nods. “Let me formally introduce myself. I am Mina Ashido, a Poison Draconic, created by the dark elves of Loyaci.” Katsuki grins. “Ooh, Scales Two! Nice.” Ochaco hits him. “Don’t call her ‘Scales Two’.” She scolds him. She looks back at Mina. “How did you come across our friends?” Mina bites her lip.

“I ran away from Loyaci, they wanted to use me to poison a small kingdom...” Katsuki scoffs. “Don’t they have ways to control Draconics?” Katsuki asks, remembering that Eijiro was being controlled by a clear sphere before Shoto broke it. Mina bites her lip.

“Yes, they do. I was stuck under their control for 3 years and poisoned a kingdom of elves..." They gasp. She bites her lip. "I'll admit I'm not proud of it, but I have to own up to it. And afterwards, my 'handler' released me for a Fire Draconic. I was given to a blue haired man, he tried to do some ritual on me, but um... I burned a scar into his face with an Eldritch Blast..."

Ochaco gasps. Katsuki frowns. "Cheeks? What's wrong?" He asks, and Ochaco trembles. "This ritual you mentioned, was there a giant chalk circle? People in robes? A dark presence?" Ochaco asks, as her face pales. Mina swallows, and nods. "I don't know about a dark presence, but I was tied up in a chalk circle, and people in robes chanted in my ancient tongue."

The man that brought Mina here whimpers. "Do you need anything, or can I go?" Katsuki waves him off, and the man runs off muttering about "rituals and unnatural creatures." Katsuki looks between Mina and Ochaco. "What were they saying?" He asks, and Mina picks at her scales. "They were chanting 'the Mage of Levitation will revive Her' over and over..."

Ochaco whines. "You absolutely sure it translated to that?" She asks, and Mina nods. Katsuki grabs Ochaco's arm, and steadies her. "What's wrong, Round Face? Something's off with you." He says, and Ochaco clasps a hand over her mouth.

The feeling of vomiting rising in her throat. Her knees buckle. But, I'm the Mage of Levitation! "Discovered your purpose?" Hisses Dendar. Ochaco heaves, and black vomit spews out of her mouth. She looks down, to see that within the gunk was a spider.

"Did you just retch out a spider?!" Mina asks, and Katsuki in one fell swoop, stabs the spider. It hisses, as he removes his scimitar. "Huh, I see why everyone else has a sword! It's way more accurate and precise!" He says, and Ochaco groans.

"Way to go, you dunce, but I'm regurgitating spiders here." She says, throwing up again. This time two spiders shoot out. Mina clears her throat. "Hi, yes, why is she vomiting spiders, like is that normal for elves?" She asks, with a frown. Katsuki shrugs. "I've seen weirder." He says, swinging his scimitar at one of the spiders.

Dendar sighs. "Can your friend stop murdering my messengers?" She asks. Katsuki raises his sword again. "Wait!" Ochaco says, and he freezes. "Why? These are evil spiders, right?" Ochaco stands, and uses her spell Prestidigitation to clean the vomit from her face.

"It's a messenger, apparently." She reaches her hand out, and the spider crawls onto it. She groans. I hate spiders. She lifts it to her shoulder, and she hears the spider hiss something in Dark Elvish. Normally, Ochaco wouldn't understand it, but perhaps Dendar within her translated.

"The Mage of Levitation will revive Her," She repeats. "Release the shackles of her nightmarish bonds." She shudders. Oh no... "D-Dendar's power will shroud the world in darkness, the world of light will diminish..." She stops.

Katsuki bites his lip. "Diminish into what?" Mina asks, knowing that Dendar's release would spell doom for all. Ochaco swallows, as the spider leaves her shoulder. "Into an eternal pit of nightmarish despair..." The spider stares at Ochaco, and Mina feels an energy course through her body.

"Wha-what's happening?!" She says, as her arm raises up, pointing at Ochaco. Katsuki, having seen things like this happen to Ochaco before, charges at Mina. "Nope! None of that magical nonsense!" He says, as he tackles her. "You shouldn't have done that!" Mina says, although it was more raspy and snake-like.

Mina groans. "I hate it when she speaks through me." She says, and Katsuki growls. "Speaking through you or not, you're not gonna hurt Cheeks!" Mina hisses. "THE MAGE OF LEVITATION WILL REVIVE ME!" Dendar screams through Mina. Katsuki lifts his scimitar. "Over my dead body." He says, and Ochaco bites her lip. That is something Dendar could easily arrange. Please don't encourage her. The spider crawls towards Katsuki. "Tell him to get off of the traitorous Draconic or I'll send him into the Nightmare Realm."

Ochaco swallows, straightening up. "Katsuki?" She says. "What?" He asks, not turning to look at her. Ochaco eyes the spider, which is by Katsuki's exposed leg. Ochaco grits her teeth. It's him or the world... You know what you have to do. Just save the world, Ochaco! "Round Face?" Katsuki asks, noticing her silence. WHY IS IT SO HARD TO DO THE RIGHT THING?!

"It must be such a pain being a hero." Dendar taunts, as Ochaco feels a shiver run down her spine. "You have to follow so many rules!" Ochaco groans. "Get off of her, Katsuki." Ochaco says, and he shakes his head. "What? Why? She was trying to do some magic thing!" He stands, glaring at Mina.

"I know." Ochaco says, helping Mina to her feet. Katsuki scoffs. "You know? And you're going to let her do it?" Ochaco glances at the spider again. Things would be way worse if I didn't. She thinks. "Please, we'll figure something out. Let her go." Ochaco says, trying to convince herself that they'd find another way to stop Dendar's plan.

But the laugh in the back of Ochaco's head made any of the false hope Ochaco mustered fade into dust. Katsuki frowns, climbing off Mina. He holds out the scimitar, glaring at the poison Draconic. Mina stands, and an unholy screech bounces through the forest. Birds flutter away, and out of Mina's hands black tendrils shoot out.

"Last chance," Bakugo says, lifting his sword to slash the black tendrils. Ochaco closes her eyes. "Put the scimitar down, Katsuki." Mina swallows, her arms shaking. "I, I'm sorry. You guys gave me your trust, and I—" Ochaco shakes her head. "No, I have a feeling that this meeting was planned. There's no way you escape Loyaci without help." Katsuki frowns. "Cheeks, what do you mean?" Ochaco sighs. "I went through the same ritual Mina did. Only mine succeeded." She opens her eyes, as the black ooze inches closer to her. "I don't know the specifics, but I think the Cult of Dendar did something to me, and now I'm a special warlock. I'm the Mage of Levitation. Or so Dendar believes." Katsuki marches up to Ochaco, and grabs her shoulders.

"So let me get this straight, you're the one they believe will revive that evil demon, and your plan is to let her do it?" Ochaco's lip trembles. "Yes, which is why I need you to promise that you'll find a way to save me." Katsuki growls. "No, all we have to do is stop her!" He says, turning to face Mina, pushing Ochaco behind him. "Katsuki," Ochaco says. "She'll get what she wants, if not here, then later. Please, promise me." Katsuki groans. "You're making a very reckless move here." Ochaco shrugs. "I have a feeling you'd do the same in my place." Katsuki smirks.

"I'll get you out, you lunatic." He says, backing up. Ochaco nods. "You promise?" He sighs. "Yeah, I promise, but try to delay her at least?" He asks, and Ochaco chuckles. "I'll do my best." She runs towards the black slime. "I don't hold this against you, Mina." She says, as the muck surrounds her legs. "And Katsuki, don't you dare hold it against her either. Try to work with her, okay?" Katsuki gives her a thumbs up. Ochaco takes a deep breath, as it covers her face.

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

Eijiro, Izuku, Momo, and Shoto stand in what Shoto can only assume is a courtyard just beyond the gate of Loyaci. Since a purple mist obscures the area, that was the best estimate he could come to. "Who's there?" Izuku asks, holding his sword up, and a dry chuckle comes through the mist, as a silhouette of a humanoid walks through the smoke. "How rude of you, Mage of Luminescence, Izuku Midoriya." Eijiro frowns. "How do you know his name?" He asks, with a shiver. The figure steps closer. "All of this was foretold by the Mage of Darkness known simply as 'All For One' all those years ago, the Luminescence Mage, the Fire Draconic, and the Prince with his Royal Guardswoman."

Momo frowns. "Who are you, you vile beast? Reveal yourself!" He laughs. "I am the High Bishop of the Cult of Dendar, Tomura Shigaraki." Out of the mist steps a thin beast of a man. He has two horns protruding from his forehead, blue unkempt hair, large pointed teeth, a tail that wraps around his leg, but the detail that grabbed Izuku first was the handprint on his face. "You're the guy Ochaco saw in that tavern!" He says, holding his sword up threateningly. Tomura scoffs. "Oh, that actually was one of my minions, using transformation magic. I sent him to check on your progress on that ." He points to the Solstice Sword.

"What could you possibly want with that Sword?" Shoto asks, and Tomura sighs. "Did nobody tell you that the only way to bring Dendar back is to break the Seal?" Momo, Shoto and Izuku gasp. Eijiro scratches his chin. "What seal?" He asks, and Momo pulls out her sword, stepping in front of Izuku. "The seal on the Tomb of the warlock All For One. The first Luminescence Mage sealed him there to stop him from ravaging Theskyx." Tomura nods. "And we wish to undo that seal." Shoto grabs Tomura, holding his sword to his throat.

"Not as long as I still breathe." He says, and Tomura touches the blade of the sword, and it dissolves into small shards. "As long as you still breathe, huh? Well, I can arrange that." He grabs his throat. Izuku shoves past Momo, and charges Tomura. "Ah-ah-ah." Tomura scolds, waving his finger back and forth. "Try that and the Prince gets the same treatment as his sword. And that goes for all of you." He adds, looking at Momo and Eijiro. Momo sheathes her sword. "Lady Momo!" Shoto says, with a wheeze. "Take him down, don't worry about me!"

Momo bows her head. "Reneumel needs a ruler, I cannot lose you." Shoto grabs Tomura's hand, trying to break free. "Lady Momo, there won't be a Reneumel if you don't take him out now!" Tomura giggles, looking over at Momo. "And this was foreseen by the great All For One! For he said that 'the Royal Guardswoman will have to make a decision that will shape all living life on Theskyx.'" Momo looks at Shoto, and sighs. "I'm sorry, my lord." She removes the sheathed sword from her belt.

"Lady Momo..." Izuku says, as she gets down on one knee. "I shall relieve myself from the Reneumel Royal Guard, and I'll gladly receive whatever punishment that will be bestowed upon me, for I made a vow to myself that I would not let any harm befall you." Tomura gives a wry smile. "Awful touching, wouldn't you say, Prince Shoto?" Shoto gives him a death glare. Tomura grins at that. "Oh, my! What a vicious and dare I say positively evil expression!" Eijiro swallows, and Shoto digs his nails into Tomura's arm, and tries to pull himself off.

"Oh, struggle all you want, because even if you do get free, the lady knight won't live for long after that." Shoto's arm falls to his side. Tomura chuckles. "Good, glad we've come to an understanding. Now, I'll be taking the Solstice Sword." Eijiro scoffs. "Yeah, that's not going to happen, right, Izuku?" Izuku looks at the Sword, trying to hear its voice, but to no avail. "Izuku?" Eijiro says, as he starts to guy at a loose scale. Izuku groans. "I guess I have no choice." He removes the scabbard from his belt, and holds it out to Tomura.

He snatches it from him, using four fingers to hold it. "I can't believe it. After all these years, I'm the one that acquired it!" A frigid wind clears the smoke surrounding them. "The Mage of Levitation has been found." Says a whisper on the wind. Tomura jumps and down like a small child. "Oh, it must be a good day for Dark Lady! I have gotten my hands on the Sword Dark Empress!" He says, to nothing in particular. "Good, I shall transport you here." The wind says, and Tomura disappears in a cloud of purple mist and black muck.

I don't think I'm gonna support the next comeback in August. It's mainly due to armys being terrible the accusing winner's mino of pedophilia, Hatred towards got7 and rampant racism towards black fans and the recent racism the k army directed to black fans over fan cafe photos and bts continues to be silent on it has rubbed me wrong way and I don't feel right supporting the next comeback as a black fan myself

I don’t really think its wrong to not fully support the comeback, you still have every right to call yourself a fan/army. Truth be told I haven’t fully supported their comebacks since B,S,& T. I still buy their albums and watch the music video once but that’s about it, if you don’t want to watch the music video or buy the album also, that doesn’t mean your less of a fan either. I kind of stay away from watching the live performances and all that stuff because there’s just so much negativity that their fans put out their.  

For the people that don’t know whats going on about Mino I’ll explain it below since it can be a sensitive topic and I don’t want to trigger people. But for the TL:DR he is not a pedophile.  

The armys never fail to surprise me. Don’t you remember during their second Mama performance when they collaborated with got7, armys went around supporting got7 just because they performed with bts and they said that they were friends with them… They even supported Jackson because Jackson said that he’s friends with Rap Mon, yet now that got7 is stealing the spotlight from bts they all of a sudden hate got7. I feel like armys wake up angry and wanting to fight people everyday. Got7 has been around for a while, people supported them even when they were featured in an episode of who is next. Got7 is very talented and they work hard so they deserve to get attention. I’m sorry armys but there are a plethora of very talented kpop groups, bts is not the only one of its kind… heck, bts isn’t even “original” there literally Bigbang mixed with B.A.P B.A.P has been around a about 19 months before bts and bigbang has been around 7 years before bts.  

I know you said that they fan cafe thing is synonymous with racism and I full on believe you but I’m going to address them as separate because both of them are a major issue in and of itself.

As far as the racism thing… there are a lot of accounts of armys of all kinds of races being racist towards other fans… I’ve even experienced blatant racism from their fans at both TRB and wings. At wings my friend who is full Asian and I were waiting patiently in line, we were keeping to ourselves and we were one of the last people to arrive. In the line that we were in the people in front of us kept looking back and they said that “I thought they just came to America for their white fans“ and I was thinking “did I really just hear that?” who knows what else they said when they got in the venue… It’s just sad that those two girls have that much hatred inside of them, at TRB I attended with my mom as I was only 15, and my friend was 13, both her and my mom are full white. People assumed that my friend was my moms daughter which is understandable, I’m not mad at that, I don’t really look like my mom either. As soon as the heard me refer to her as Mom and my friend refer to her as Miss.P for anonymity… its not that me or my mom have a problem with remaining anonymous but its more like I don’t know who follows me and for what reason… mainly it because I don’t want any retaliation from bts fans maybe someday I’ll be less anonymous, they started treating both me and my mom super rude and weird. Even during TRB, my mom had went upstairs to go to the bar, there was another mom there but she was talking about how awesome Asia is and how her two children younger than me are going to go to Korea and blah blah blah, it was basically this fantasy-land view of Asia and Asians. My mom then told the lady that being married to an Asian isn’t all lollipop and rainbows and living in Hawaii my mom dated a few other Asian men before she married my Father. After that her behavior towards my mom changed, as if she was disgusted over who my mom chose to marry, yet she created that same-like fantasy in her head for her daughters. I had also gone up there to get some water and to get out of the crowd I have asthma and I forgot my inhaler, hot/lukewarm water helps sometimes and the look on her face she she saw me looked was a real look of disgust, she was extremely rude to me too.  If that’s the type of prejudice that I face, being a hapa… I cant imagine what you go through.

Now with the fancafe issue, ever since they opened up the fancafe, the photo have been share left and right. Am I saying its okay? No, it’s against the rules. They have said that they were going to shut down the fancafe or ban people if content gets shared but it seems to just be empty threats from bighit. What’s not cool is that they put the blame on black fans. Fans of all races have been sharing fancafe photos. If they truly want the sharing of the photos to stop then they should report it to bighit… but at this point are they even going to do anything? Its just like how they say that legal action will take place of the content from their dvd’s gets shared but does anyone actually get sued?

Yes, your right, bts and/or bighit should step in at this moment because there is way too much toxicity in that fandom. It’s not hard to tell the fans “hey dont be mean”. “dont be racist”, or even “be nice to other fandoms”. B.A.P has said all of that to their fans, just take a look at BYG’s speech in Atlanta. Bigbang has even said something along the lines of “its okay for you to like other groups, we dont really care” which i believe somewhat help die down the fanwars in the VIP fandom. Although, I dont think that’s what bighit cares about anymore. Yes, bts should be able to come out and say it themselves but like i have said previously, we dont really know what their contract entails, we dont even know if they are aloud to say anything that could potentially jeopardize the money coming into to bighit, and that’s all bighit cares about now, I dont even think bts has freedom of speech at this point, they seem to manufactured as of now. Although, bts has been subtlety dissing their fans lately and I think that this fandom needs it at this point.

Below will be the controversy with Mino.

Now about the Mino pedophile issue, no… Mino is not a pedophile and he didn’t commit pedophilia. Mino was following an instagram account that was ran by a photographer called prettypuke. I’ve know about this account for a while because he had been following since 2015, although some fans say that he was hacked. Now that photographer was also the co-director for CL music video Dr. Pepper which was released in 2015. I also believe that he had worked with other YG artist before and other people from YG were also following him.

What happened is that there was this article in published saying that Mino was a pervert… not a pedophile which, in some cases can go hand and hand but not all perverts not pedophiles. The reason why that made headlines in Korea is becuase of their online censorship and pornography ban which its more like anything that can be sexual is banned, Then this Army got a hold of the article and “translated” it but she flat out called him a pedophile. The reason for that is there was this picture that was uploaded and it was a boy with a buttplug on is forehead, what seemed to be him pretending to be a unicorn. However, just because there was a sex toy in that picture that did not make the picture sexual. There are a ton of videos and pictures where children find their parents toys. It got so bad to the point where Mino unfollowed everyone on his Instagram and the photographer had to make a statement. He said “Here is context to the image causing so much controversy in Korea. I fucking hate that it has come to this. This is my son Casper two years ago. Children are extremely inquisitive. My job as a dad is to be present, educate him, and protect him” along with that he said “My son happen to find his mother’s toy and began to play with with it. To him it’s just a found object, disgusting adults are the ones bringing negative connotation to such a simple image that shows no sexual intent“

The army then tweeted out a half-assed apology, she really didn’t apologize to Mino per se but more apologizing out of embarrassment because there even were a group of armys attacking her. Its just so sickening that she thought that that was okay to say because forever his image will be messed up due to people deeming him a pedophile and it seems like people just started to forget about the whole SMTM controversy. There are no accusations that they can use to even make him seem like a pedophile. This could potentially mess up his solo debut. No matter what, when a man gets accused of being a pedophile, rapist, molester, etc… and hes proven innocent that label will forever be on him for the rest of his life, not necessarily though the legal system but through out the street. Part of me is also think that she did that to try to tarnish winners name because after Everyday their fame has been increasing like crazy.
