FINAL EP PREVIEW....
as usual, rough translation under the cut
Isami: Courage!
Lulu: Friendship!
Bravern: Hard work,
Superbia: Guts,
Smith: And love.
All: Next time, on Bang Brave Bang Bravern, Final Episode: "Beyond Bang Brave."
Isami: Bravern, Smith, Lulu, Superbia, everyone! Lend me your strength!
I really liked the vocal transition between Bravern and Smith, and I love how Isami is the one who says "courage." (At least, I think it's him? I don't have a great ear for differentiating male speakers by voice alone lmfao) His main issue is that he had no courage in himself (or was unable to express that passion), but after Smith and Bravern he is learning how to wield it.
Also, I think it's appropriate that Smith is the one who speaks of love, since his character is driven by it—he cares so deeply for Isami, for Lulu, for everyone who he interacts with, that he refused to die with Cunus. His drive to become a hero is so that he could protect the people he loves (i mean, it helps that heroes are cool as hell, but he wants to be a hero to keep others safe).
EDIT: I've been informed that it's Smith who says "Courage" and Isami who says "Love!" As said above I don't have a good ear for male voices, my bad. I think that's still character relevant, though it's a different interpretation of the character arcs/themes. like... Smith says "Brave Bang" to Isami both times before he dies lol, so it does make sense that he's the one saying courage. Also, Isami never actually said out loud that he loves Bravern (or the others) back, even though he clearly does love and care for them, so actually saying it/admitting it out loud would mean something.

to clarify some things just because
this is a funny
i cant claim to know what the inspirations for myhouse were aside from, very obviously, house of leaves
yume nikki itself is inspired by lsdde, but i feel like its usage of wordless Suggested storytelling may have influenced my house, where you can try to piece together a story just from the spaces you travel- in yn you have multiple worlds like that, the first that comes to mind being the hit and run.
lsd dream emulator i feel may have influenced my house Independently from yume nikki, particularly with the way levels interconnect and loop back around on one another in a 3d setting
P.T. definitely belongs here like obviously but consider this: i forgor. and itd look weird if it wasnt a triangle. realistically, its Probably an even bigger influence than house of leaves. i mean, it's PT. its PT.
the complete absence, aside from HoL, of house-centric media is not an oversight because despite everything, myhouse really isn't about the house. the "haunted house" isnt the house itself, it's the doom map of the house- the building is irrelevant, what matters is that its the space Tom created. the reason the house's layout repeats itself everywhere isn't because the house matters, it's because that was the layout tom created in the original map that steve decided to update. do you understand THIS? the house isnt alive, the myhouse.wad is alive. there is a distinction and the distinction is crucial. the analog to the house on ash tree lane isnt the house itself, because there is no real world physical house present in the story, since its only about the mod based on said house. the analog to the house on ash tree lane, to This House (skinamarink acknowledgement), to the monster house, is the map.
thank you for coming to my tedtalk. its 6:30pm and i just ate subway after i started my day at 5pm having gone to sleep at 6 something am with a full xanax following a night of drinking red bull. i need to take my magnesium pills to balance my energy.
btw the gay monster house is something i'm doing myself stay tuned for that.
in truth i dont even know if we can legitimately consider myhouse part of houseposting... but i will anyway because it carries the same spirit. even if its about a doom map. like in fiction its about a doom map.

for pride month, i figured i'd do a non-exhaustive list of people/looks that have given me gender envy and inspired my sense of style as a transmasculine fellow.
this post is about to be long and also likely 'cringe' (which is dead, so i do not let it dictate my decisions, but just in case a non-mutual reads this and wants to send me hate-mail for my 'bad' taste: I KNOW.) since it includes several people i worshiped as a tweenager. if you don't wanna see me talking about five billion emo men, then you probably don't wanna read this :^)
mulan (1998) was one of my first experiences with gender-nonconformity and experimentation. her dissatisfaction with living as a woman and her shame with feeling that way deeply resonated with me, and her transition into ping lit up light bulbs in my tiny mind, as well as the scene in which she is outed against her will due to an injury.
-
from a very young age, i've always kinda wanted to embody the swagger of freddie mercury. i would say that as a 6 or 7-ish year old i experienced my first bout of true gender envy over him. i wished i could look and sound like a man because of him. i ended up shoving down these feelings for many years due to internalized shit and outside influences. yet he still remains forever in my heart as a major influence both as an artist, an outfit composer, and a person.
-
eddie van halen is cool as shit. idk man. i dig his style. these patch work pants did irreparable damage to my psyche.
-
ryan ross was a big idol of mine as a tween and still continues to inspire me to this day. i wished i could do my makeup like him and have his fop-y floppy 60s mop cut, which was probably the beginning of my obsession with having hair that looks Like That.
*bren.don. ur.ie gets a dishonorable mention here bc i don't wanna talk about him but when i was 13 i also wanted his p.o. era mop sooo bad like soo bad i was planning on getting my hair cut like that for real but instead life happened and i haven't had my hair cut since like 2019 and now i've committed to it being a mile long.
-
pete wentz is at the forefront of writers that i would say have influenced my works. his influence is just about inseparable from anything i've done since 2018 at least. he just, like, gets me, you know? including, of course, his fashion sense, which lingers still through my daily wardrobe.
on the right, i added a pic of him recently that made me lose my mind.
-
i'm grouping william beckett and gabe saporta together because both are scene fellows who had lesser but still notable affects on me. the former's hair and the latter's sense of style have stayed with me all these years for a reason, and that reason is because i wish i could look like them.
-
renfield is just like me for real so of course i wish i could steal dwight frye's gender. the suspenders plus the vacant, hazy look in his eyes did things to me.
-
the man, the myth, the legend, my most special of interests, mr sir peter wilton cushing obe. if i love him, and i feel unloved, then i must act like him and sound like him and look like him to feel truly loved, right? because i want someone to love me to the extent i love him? because i hate myself so much? it's psychosexual to me in a way but also 100% from my heart. i need to look like him ^
he cracked my egg. which i will be getting more into in the next entry. but! basically i realized that maybe it isn't normal to want to look exactly like a man, deeper voice and flatter chest and all. and then i was like what is stopping me from being trans actually besides other people's disapproval, which i had at that point stopped letting get in my way. so trans ellie canon and real from this point forward.
-
sherlock holmes is an entirely separate entry on this list than peter cushing because sherlock is a fictional character that has been portrayed in many different mediums and by many different actors, many of whom i at least kinda want to look like.
but most of all, i want to be like him, the idea of sherlock holmes. a protector who saves the meek and weak and who persecutes the oppressors. he is good, he is just, and he is loved by nearly all. also he is a major fucking nutjob, like me. he inspires me so much. this yearning helped me realize who i wanted to be, who i am. it makes my heart glow with hope and pride knowing that someone who so obviously has so much 'wrong' (wrong like me) with them can not just be a hero, but also one of the most definitive heroes in history.
-
adam ant's gnc swag.... idk man he ignited my historical obsession with highwaymen.
-
final thoughts:
i am so happy to be a trans fag ! my life is so much better since i realized that i am a boy ! 🥰🥰🥰 i am trying to experiment more with my appearance and i am loving it.

"Break the world if anything happens to my friends/family/lover loyal" Ok so now I have to know... how would Seb and Marian react if they thought the other was in mortal danger?
oooohhhh man i have thought about this so much you have no idea
Okay, so: Marian. If Sebastian's hurt/in danger, she goes on the warpath until he's safe again. Absolute single-mindedness dedicated only to whatever is going to help her get her prince back. Her already short temper gets even shorter and she will not tolerate ANYONE getting in her way. Even if they're so-called "friends" just looking out for her mental state.
If Sebastian's dead? Oh man. That usual fiery rage that everyone knows Marian for is just... Gone. In its place is a cold, grieving husk of a woman who's sole motivation is utterly destroying whoever or whatever it was that took the love of her life away from her. When she gets her revenge, she's aimless. Maybe she could bounce back, but it would take months, if not years. In a slightly optimistic if not bittersweet ending, she'd probably join the chantry as a full sister and spend the rest of her life upholding the ideals her beloved held so close.
Sebastian, on the other hand... I think he would be less... violent, but no less willing to go off the deep end. There is a part of him that thinks it's wrong, that the Maker would not approve, but he is not going to lose her, too. Better to pray for forgiveness than for permission, etcetera.
There's only so much he can do on his own, though, so instead of a killing spree, he gather information. Allies. Even those of the unsavory sort. Hell, he'll even turn to forbidden magic if he has to. It doesn't matter if he damns his soul getting her back, as long as she's back with him.
But if Marian dies? His heart just closes off. There's been too much grief, too much loss. He goes back to Starkhaven and brings the full might of its army down to bear on whichever poor souls were responsible for her death. He's still a good king, but no one would ever call him a good man. And he would never remarry - even a political union is out of the question, because he will never betray Marian, even if she's no longer with him. The Vael line would die with him.
So yeah. Sure is a good thing nothing bad will ever happen to these two, ever.
