Forever, irrevocably fascinated by Will Graham's love for Hannibal Lecter. You guys don't give him enough attention. I actually think he loves with more intensity than Hannibal. His love is not only sacred, but it's also kaleidoscopic, and visceral, and convoluted, and so fucking much.

SPOILERS ALERT! (Obviously!)
I haven't actually finished. Just one more chapter left. But its fine. I'm done with the major plot anyways. Let's start!
How do I feel about Elbert's route?
All in all, it was kinda....meh. I wasn't entirely bad nor it was good. It's just...I'm so dissatisfied.
How was the story?
It was half boring and half good. I chose the Madness route and let me just say, for how dark Elbert's story is, the ending is just so disappointing. Now this is just the Madness route, maybe in the Blind route is much better (I hope it is).
El's story mainly contains two stories - 1. Main story that reveals El's past and his curse and 2. Bernard&Co. I'll be honest... I don't care about Bernard and his company! Nor do I care about Gabriel and his kinky stuff nor Daisy and her blue poppies. It really has nothing to do with El's past. It's just boring side story that just keeps getting in the way of the main storyline and it cannot be avoided. I honestly didn't pay any attention to Bernard&Co story because I was bored and I'm more interested in getting to know El.
On the other hand, I was quite interested in El's past. Yes! It's one of the most tragic ones I've heard. I love how dark it is and the writers did a good job in making me actually hate EVERYONE related to El. I also loved how they showed the scene where Al tells Kate about El's past in a library where they first met and at the same time, El was having a dream where he sees his whole childhood. It's a nice transition. They keep switching between Kate's pov to El's pov from time to time. Good job! I liked that.
The writers did keep me interested in the story because to be honest, I was really looking forward on how El finally comes out from his tragic past and faces his true nemesis. But they went and ruined it in the end so much so that it WASN'T WORTH SPENDING 1500 DIAMONDS and 25 story tickets!!! Yes! I did use my diamonds, which I've been saving for Jude, on story tickets.....because I was so hooked! I couldn't wait 10 days and I couldn't sleep until I found out what's going to be Jeffery's ending.
What happens to Jeffery?
By this time, you must know that, Jeffery is the true main villain in El's route. Not Gabriel Bernard. If you don't know, Jeffery was the chief butler of the Greetia house. He and the other servants SA-ed El everyday since he was 9-year-old. Not only this, let me list out all the crimes he has committed:
SA-ed a minor everyday.
Brainwashed and manipulated that same child.
Bribed a guy to kidnapped Kate and also told him to sell her, because you know, she was preventing him from SA-ing El.
Tried to kill Kate.
And also being completely delusional in thinking that the reason why El was trying to kill him because Kate brainwashed him and not because...all of the above.
Yeah. So you'd think, a monster like that would get painful death, right? But no. El just shows up, says hi and stabs him with his sword. That's it.
I was really disappointed, because I thought, El was going to make him suffer for what he has done and killing him as painfully as possible, because he deserves it. For some reason, the writers just made it anticlimactic. If I compare this ending with William and Harrison, their ending is much more exciting. Especially William's...I'll translate that as soon as my exam is over...so please be patient, it's on Sep 8th. Okay?
But yeah, that's it. I don't how El kills him in the other ending. Someone told me that El poisons him. Poison apple I guess. I'll see that when I play the other ending, but not anytime soon.
What is El's tragic ending?
El's tragic ending according to Victor is to die while being unsatisfied. We see El trying to collect the most beautiful thing in the world, but El's tragic end is, he will die without getting that most beautiful thing.
What about Al?
I still don't understand why Al kissed Kate. It still confuses me and Yes! Kate does tell El that Al kissed her and El was like--
Kate: "Well....Mr. Alphonse.....kissed me on the lip--"
El kisses her before she could finish her sentence.
El: "Tell me Kate, who is your daddy?"
Kate: *blushes* "It's Lord Elbert...."
El: *smiling* "Good."
El: "If it's Al, I don't mind..."
Kate: "You're....n-not going to kill him, right?"
El: "If it was someone else, I would have.......I'd rather you not, but if you want to kiss someone else besides me, it should be only Al."
Kate: *jealous* "I don't want to kiss someone else. I only want to kiss you..."
Yeah, that's El's reaction. He was surprisingly calm about it. Al on the other hand is starting to grow on me. He's like the Mitsuhide of this game, so mysterious that you can't tell if he's on good side or bad side. El seems to trust Al very much. Yes, he is jealous about Kate spending time with another man, but he also trusts Al and knows that no matter what, Al will keep her safe. Al on the other hand dislikes the fact that both Kate and El trusts him so much. I don't know if Al even likes El as friend. Sometimes he acts like friend and sometimes he doesn't. It's so confusing, so I'm really looking forward for his route.
Kate and El
Honestly, these two are made for each other. Both are jealous possessive types that keeps asking each other if they were thinking about each other while they were apart. There are only some cute moments here and there, like El staring at Kate so he could get into her heart and also making sure that she only looks at him and only thinks about him and also grabs her face and makes it turn to look at him and also asking to look only at him lol. It's a funny scene I liked it. But most of his route is full of sadness and sadness and .....lots of sadness. You get my point.
Final thoughts
This post is really short but there is not much to talk about because I already spoiled you guys about El's past which is the major part of the story.
I wish the story was bit more exciting, at least the writers could have improved the ending of Jeffery after making me hate him so much. All in all it was a pretty meh experience. I still think Harry's route is the best one so far.

Please Say Yes (The Proposal)
This ship leave rent free in my head but I love them too much to kick them out. I appreciate all the love you shown for my other two one shots and hope you love this one just as much. This one is a little longer cause I couldn’t figure out how to end it XD. 
Tagging: @thor-is-trans-and-pan-he-told-me @royallydivinelesbian
~~~
Love wasn’t something Death fully understood. It made turned people stupid and always led to heartbreak. Love was uncertain, unpredictable, and cruel. The wolf often witnessed the pain and misery mortals experience when their loved ones die. He was so confused as to why they would put themselves through that. It seemed like a barbaric punishment and one they were willing to suffer through. Death never understood why until he found it himself. He never expected to find love, let alone with the cat he intended to hunt down. What turned out to be a simple job turned into a two and six-month relationship with his target. He loved Puss In Boots with all his heart. Death couldn’t imagine a life without his fearless feline; hopefully, he wouldn’t have to. The wolf wanted the rest of their lives together and beyond. He wanted to travel with their perfect little family and return to their beautiful Spanish home. Death just hoped that everything went according to plan on Puss’ birthday. Goldie and Arthur had planned the celebratory ball for the occasion, ensuring everything was just right. It had to be. Not only did the cat deserve it, but the wolf also planned to propose during the event. Even though he began extremely close to Puss’ friends and family, he was still nervous about getting their blessing. Death wanted reinsurance that he was doing the right thing and had no intentions of taking the fearless hero away from them. Mama Imelda was overjoyed when hearing the news, even more so when the wolf stated he wanted her and the orphans there. The three diablos were even more so, especially when they were officially getting a new parent out of it. Not that it mattered since they already called him Dad.
 The only issue that arose from the plan was the engagement ring. Everyone wanted to help out, and it just added stress to the whole ordeal. It wasn’t until he went with Kitty and his future mother-in-law that things seemed to calm down. It took Death four days, but he finally found the perfect ring. It had a silver wrap-around band with a wolf head on one end and the tail on the other. The eyes and the inside of the ears were rubies, making it even more perfect. Now it was just a matter of popping Puss the question. The closer it got, the more nervous Death became, and he could tell Puss suspected something. He attempted to put the beautiful feline at ease, but it didn’t work. Making it harder to keep the proposal a surprise. The wolf always kept the ring on himself, fearing the cat would find it. Then the day finally arrived, and the wolf was a wreck. Especially when waiting for the guest of honour to arrive. He felt like he was suffocating in a black regency tailcoat and downed half a bottle of champagne before Imelda confiscated it.
   “Por el amor de Dios, I won’t have you wasted before he arrives.” Imelda scolded
  “I’m just nervous…What if he says no?”
  “He won’t, Lobo. Puss loves you with all his heart.”
  “I don’t even know why most of the time.”
  Imelda hit him in the back of the head. “You listen here; there’s no room for such negativity. He will say yes, and the two will have your happy ending.”
  “You think so?”
  “I know so. He adores you and couldn’t ask for a better son-in-law.”
   Death wagged his tail happily. As an immortal, the wolf never had a mother. Sure, he had creators, but that’s precisely what they were. Death never saw them as parental figures, not that they even tried to be. They created him and just left him with no guidance or purpose. The wolf never knew the feeling of motherly love until Puss introduced him to Imelda. She was a compassionate, no-nonsense woman who welcomed him with open arms. She was the mother Death didn’t realise he needed. The wolf hugged Imelda tightly before the trumpets announced Puss’ arrival. He found himself staring in awe at his boyfriend. Puss was dressed in a pastel green poet blouse, beige dress pants and, of course, his signature boots. The cat looked so gorgeous and happy that it made the wolf nervous. Death drifted into the shadows as the party commenced, watching Puss from afar. Whenever the wolf worked up the courage, the cat was dragged away by one of the children or his friends. He was tempted to postpone the proposal when Puss climbed onto the table and kissed him.
   “Are you alright, Estimado?”
  “Yes, gato. Just didn’t want to interrupt you with your friends.”
  “As sweet as that is, I would love to spend some more time with my boyfriend.”
  Death smiled nervously at Puss. “Well, if that’s what you want...follow me birthday boy.”
   Puss smiled back as the wolf led them to the palace’s rose garden. They sat on a stone bench and looked up at the night sky. This was it; no turning back now. He knew Puss loved him and knew the chances of him saying yes were high. Still, Death’s panic increased. He hated how his anxiety was making him second-guess everything.
  “Muerte, talk to me. I’ve never seen you like this.”
   The wolf looked at his boyfriend and took his tiny paws in his large ones. He took a few deep breaths, only speaking when his anxiety managed to calm down a little.
   “Puss, mi amor. Words can’t express how much I adore you, care about you. You are my everything.”
  “Wolfie, where are you going with this? Not that I mind your public declaration.”
  “I’m getting there.” Death chuckled. “I love you and our little diablos so much. I can’t imagine my life without you, and I don’t want to. I want to be with you forever, Puss. I want to settle in a cottage and raise our kittens there.”
  Puss just stared at him. “Wait, are you…”
  Death got down on one knee and put out the ring. “Puss in Boots, will you do me the honour of becoming my husband?”
  The wolf watched as the cat broke down. Tears and eyeliner dripped down his face as a large smile formed on the feline’s face. The expression on Puss’ face was all the confirmation Death needed.
  “So, is that a yes, Gatitio?”
 “YES, MI AMOR!! A MILLION TIMES, YES!!” Puss exclaimed as he snatched the ring and put it on his finger.
  Death soon became tearful as he grabbed Puss and spun them around happily. He then pulled the cat close and smothered him in kisses. Looking deeply into Puss’ emerald eyes, Death still couldn’t believe he was engaged to the love of his life. Still couldn’t believe such a heavenly creature would want to be with someone like him.
   “This is the best gift ever Muerte. I love it so much.”
 “You mean it?”
 “Of course!! I got a beautiful ring and a even more beautiful fiance. I couldn’t ask for anything more.”
 “That’s all I want to hear. I love you Mi dulce gatito.”
 “I love you too Lobo.”

Your blog has gotten me interested in antipsychiatry as an extention of bodily autonomy - however, at least some disorders do seem to be clustered in a way that makes sense for troubleshooting if someone needs treatment. Like, reading the definition of depression as a teenager made me realize that it's not normal to want to die 24/7, and that I should probably talk to a therapist. I don't know exactly where I'm going with this tbh, but I guess I think that some (at least my own) psychiatric disorders make sense and are pretty common ways that people can suffer?
yeah, i think it's pretty important to distinguish between diagnostics as a form of loose categorization (for example, i find ocd + anorexia both to be useful shorthand for experiences i have + share w/ many others) and diagnostics as a prescriptive form of Assigning Illness (such as the DSM). the experiences of ppl with depression are real + often similar to one another + it's extremely useful to have a culturally recognized term that summarizes a lot of painful experiences.
it's when those shorthand descriptions become prescriptive rather than descriptive (e.h you feel x way BECAUSE you have depression, not that you have depression BECAUSE you feel x way), medicalized (e.g this is because you are Sick, this must be Cured, this has a definitive biomedical cause), or alienated (e.g this experience sets you distinctly apart from Normal people, who have Healthy thoughts + brains).
even when you say thinking those things is not 'normal'- sure, most ppl probably don't- but is the concern that it's 'abnormal' or that it's making you miserable? what if everyone else DID feel the same way- would that mean you don't deserve relief from it? one of the biggest flaws in psych diagnostics is that it relies on the assumption that these experiences need to be stopped (and Stopped is usually their ideal goal, though they will settle for mitigated or reduced) not because they are painful but because they are 'abnormal' or 'disruptive' (often to functioning within systems which are inherently unjust like school, work, maintaining housing, etc). the concern is not suffering, but abnormality (with the assumption that there is even such a thing as a Normal Person).
take, for example, my dx of anorexia- when i experience torturous thoughts of hating my body, obsessing over what i eat, obsessing over if other ppl are judging me for what i eat, obsessing over my weight, etc, it is diagnosed as pathology. when a fat person experiences this, they are very, very often validated in these emotions because they are Supposed To feel that way according to fatphobic medicine + cultural norms. while tides are shifting in this regard, this was not just a silly little oversight of the anorexia dx but built in, because the assumption built in to psychiatric diagnostics is that extreme body hatred is only pathological if it's 'irrational'- if you are supposed to hate your body, as determined by norms, then you are 'normal' + there is no 'dysmorphia' present, therefore no care or concern.
in general, i think most systems of categorizing ppl fall apart + become harmful when they fail to recognize themselves as roughly constructed shorthand ways of describing deeply complex experiences- gender, sex, race, diagnosis (this gets foggier in certain medical diagnoses but still stands for the majority of them), identity in general rlly. but if we can see them for what they are- (fallible + limited) things we created to describe ourselves, not objects within us which control our behavior + thoughts, they are immensely useful for many.

yes syanna deserves punishment but her stupid sister won't punish her. We know this from the dialogue with Dandelion in the ending where Dandelion visits Geralt. No one denies that syanna suffered a lot and undeservedly but she absolutely does not deserve to be forgiven for the crimes. and this is what happens in the 'good ending' syanna had psychopathic tendencies even before she was diagnosed with the curse. For those who choose Yennefer because of books, Syanna's death should be canonical. syanna is Renfri created for the dlc. What did Geralt with Renfri? Butchered her in the middle of Blaviken. He should do the same with syanna. She is my most hated character from the entire witcher universe. Dettlaff is not completely good character but psycho sisters are not better than him. the perfect ending for me would be with both sisters dead and alive Dettlaff. But I only had with syanna dying. Dett deserve a second chance just like Regis in the books
Okay, so, you’re making the issue black and white when it clearly isn’t. Syanna and Dettlaff were both hurt and made bad decisions, and I think Dettlaff deserves more sympathy than he’s given by the game and the fandom, but you’re arguing that.. Syanna is just the villain, straight up, full stop? Yes, what she did was inexcusable. But one of the main ideas in the witcher is that there is no lesser evil, it’s just people and their choices! That was the whole point of Renfri’s story!
Your comparison to Renfri disregards and disrespects the point of the character and the message of her death. Yes, Geralt kills her, but it was based on a decision at a moment’s notice and he regrets it later. He carries her brooch with him for over two decades! He was prompted to choose the lesser evil, but truly, it was just different evils. He did what he thought was best with the information he had! We all do this, every day! This happens with Syanna as well, because yes, they are parallel characters. One difference is that Syanna had power over Dettlaff, but Renfri never had power over Stregobor. Dettlaff and Stregobor are not parallels the same way Syanna and Renfri were written to be.
You said, “syanna had psychopathic tendencies even before she was diagnosed with the curse”. She wasn’t diagnosed with anything! She was born, and the time of her birth made everyone think that she was a monster. That’s not her fault! What are the “psychopathic tendencies” you’re talking about? Lack of caring about others? First of all, that’s insensitive, and second of all, she’s an insecurely attached rich princess who was thrown out of her home for reasons she had no control over. She doesn’t know how to be a person. That’s why I think she deserves to live and learn.
Also, what’s the point of bringing up Yennefer???
Same with Anna Henrietta! Why do you think she deserves to die? According to story canon, she’s a beloved leader! Toussaint is prosperous under her leadership! Yes, her priorities are skewed, and she should see that Syanna is punished, but she’s blinded by the fact that her sister is alive! Anarietta was not only one of the reasons for Syanna’s banishment, she was also hurt by the way their parents treated her! Her reaction to learning that Syanna is alive is completely reasonable, and wanting to protect her is too. At this rate I think the issue is yours and not the game’s.
You’re allowed to hate her. I’m not saying you shouldn’t. But none of this is broken up neatly into right/wrong, black/white, good/evil the way you seem to believe. Come back when you understand that people (and all stories about and portrayals thereof) are more complicated than that.

for me embarrassment manifests as panic attack level anxiety, fury, or NOTHINg at all. you cant embarrass me if youre just pissing me off yk? if i embarrass myself well everyone does that bcuz humans ebolved to experience embarrassment as a survival tactic and its part of social learning sooo… why would i actually *care* if something embarrassing happens?
i always do my best to ease feelings of shame in the people around me bcuz 1. i know embarrassment is a really difficult feeling and makes people act weird and fake which pisses me off & 2. there is absolutely no reason to feel that around me lol like ik ppl cant help it and its cute when ppl are shy but also get OVAR your shame ok? for me. unless youre bigoted, its impossible for me to find you embarrassing bc i dont c a. r e. you can have a category ten billion level public humiliation event in front of me and i will not allow the social pressures of politeness to drive me to mock u or the situation nor will i feel any embarrassment on your behalf. maybe id get stressed for u at most.
embarrassment is such a specific emotion i genuinely do not experience. i do experience feelings of humility when i am out of my depth in a social situation, but like… at most i just wish i could redo the situation “correctly” to make every1 around me feel as considered as possible, not to save myself the social standing. ppl r gonna think im weird its just facts.
anyways according to disorders if someone intentionally tries to embarrass me then they might as well actually deserve to suffer and die accordingly buuuuuut of course im going to act on that because i do not actually believe in that perspective. but i still agree with the feeling behind it, so.
as a result i was kinda unbullyable until my late teens bcuz it was only then that i began to emulate defenseless women out of guilt & fear. but as a kid honestly i was more of the bully on occasion without realizing it, and would then feel sorry about my hurtful actions after the fact and confuse that with embarrassment. bc i thought remorse WAS shame as a kid…. that’s a whole can of wyrms though

Octopath on Sea but Ritsu gets more trauma and more difficulties connecting with others in the future. Oh and the slow fear of drowning in the future but shhhhh
-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/
Ritsu: So. This is- This is how it ends huh? Not with me getting shot or stabbed or some other death but with me drowning after my ship sinks. One of my friends is bleeding and the other telling me that he was never really my friend and it was a whole ploy to join a stupid cult.
Oboro: …Yeah.
Ritsu, scoffing: Is your name even Kazan?
Oboro: Not at all.
Ritsu: Great. Crick is going to bleed to death while I drown and you’re just going to walk away like you didn’t betray us.
Oboro: I did what I had to.
Ritsu: And what is that exactly? I kept being dragged into this fucking cult and I don’t know what they want with me. Am I important somehow? Do I end the world in the future or some shit?
Oboro: Not that I’ve seen no.
Ritsu: Hah. Then what’s the point of all of this? What’s the point of all of your coworkers coming up to me and trying to use me to kill for them.
Oboro: I don’t have an answer to that.
Ritsu: What’s the point of you coming up to me?
Oboro: …I don’t have an answer to that.
Ritsu: Of course you don’t. Of fucking course.
Ritsu: Is there a reason why the Sacred Guard just went and tried to kill us both?
Oboro: Yes.
Ritsu: Will you tell me?
Oboro: No.
Ritsu: Right.
Ritsu: …So now what? You’re just going to kill me? I’m going to drown already so there’s no point.
Oboro: I’m actually here to give you and your friend a quicker death. Drowning is a terrible way to go and your friend is in clear pain. I am quite skilled with the knife so-
Ritsu: Pass. I don’t want you to ever be near me ever again.
Oboro: …Despite what you think I have the best interests in mind. The world is cruel and dirty. Everyone is out for themselves and only cares for their own lives. We’re all just specks in the cold, uncaring, universe and according to the universe, our purpose is to wake up, suffer, and then die. I find a life like that to be unfair.
Ritsu: So what. That’s life. It’s fucking cruel and we have to make do. We make do and then we have to move on because no one really is there to help you. Not even in your grief.
Oboro: And if life wasn’t unfair?
Ritsu: Well maybe I wouldn’t be here on a sinking boat and instead be with my sister and be with Hikari. Maybe that’s what would have happened.
Oboro: Ritsu Hikari is-
Ritsu: Oh shut up. Claude and Arcanette already tried to tell me about “bringing Hikari back”. I’m not stupid. He’s gone. He’s gone and I can’t do anything anymore.
Oboro: For what it was worth, I did enjoy our friendship.
Oboro: …Well goodbye. The endless bottomless sea is always more inviting than life. I hope that brings you comfort.
Ritsu: Gods you actually- Fuck you Kazan. I fucking hate you for making me actually believe I can open myself up again and it won’t hurt like last time. Thanks for proving me wrong and that there’s something worse than death.
Oboro: …Glad I could help.
Ritsu: I hope you drown in the bottomless abyss you love so much.
Oboro: Me too.
Ritsu: …
Ritsu: …He’s gone Crick.
Crick: Oh that’s a relief.
Crick: Are you okay?
Ritsu: The ship is sinking and you’re bleeding Crick. Neither of us are okay.
Crick: Then save yourself. You can do it. Just leave me to-
Ritsu: Crick I can’t get out even if I tried. My leg is broken and I just- You don’t deserve to die alone.
Crick: Oh. Okay.
Crick: It was a good run right? We did our best to get to them despite neither of us having extensive nautical knowledge.
Ritsu: …Yeah. Yeah it was.
KIWI??????? THIS IS REALLY GOOD???? IM GONNA CRY MAYBE?????
ritsu tearing into kazan and just being so so sick of his shit was. very satisfying to read. he’s going through so much in this au he’s earned this. and the whole part where he calls out kazan as the asshole he is for tricking him into opening up again!!!!! yeah!!!!!!!
AND!!!! HIKARI BEING GONE???? CRICK BLEEDING OUT????? BOTH OF THEM JUST?? ACCEPTING THEIR END??? KIWI IT CANT END HERE. TELL ME IT DOESNT END HERE

If you think about it... the dynamic James/Cordelia/Matthew is similar yet different from the Will/Tessa/Jem one. It is similar because it's a triangle: James and Matthew, who are best friends, love Cordelia (although I believe Matthew is more infatuated with her than love her in the romantic sense, my opinion), but Cordelia only loves James and thinks he doesn't love her. Wrong, Cordelia, wrong. So she thinks of 'settling' with Matthew (according to the CoT synopsis) in order to avoid the suffering that is, assuming that James doesn't love her back (and that he loves Grace - again, Cordelia, totally wrong!).
A small analysis, but there are a few things to unpack.
tw: death mention
Herongraystairs had a similar, yet different dynamic. Similar because it's two guys and a girl loving each other, but differently. Will and Jem are best friends who are in love with Tessa, who loves both of them the same way. When Tessa decided to be with Jem before he died, she did because Will hurt her at the time, but, she also loved Will, so it was super difficult for her to be with just one of them. Fate decided their outcome: Jem survived, but he couldn't live with the people he loved, the way they would have wanted him to. Will had already decided to love Tessa in silence after Jem became a Silent Brother, thinking that she had rejected him, but she didn't want that. Tessa loved Will, she wanted to be with him. He wasn't a second choice. He was her choice as well as Jem, but he could only be with them temporarily, because of his new brotherhood role. So, bottom line, Tessa didn't decide to settle with either Jem or Will - they were both her choice and she loved them equally. If Tessa didn't love Will, I'm sure she would have never decided to be with him in CP2. She would have probably stayed single (that's mostly what happened after Will died, anyway. The only person she had romantic interactions with was Jem as a Silent Brother, if you think about it).
This is not what is happening between James, Cordelia and Matthew. James loves Matthew, yeah, but it's clear he would never 'share' (pardon me for the term, I can't find anything better) Cordelia with him romantically. James is not like his parents. We all know that Jordelia are the main ship and that, I'm sorry Matthew, he has no chance to be with Cordelia. Not even if the story takes a dramatic route, I believe.
Again, we have points of similarity with Herongraystairs.
While Jem and Tessa couldn't actually marry, James and Cordelia got married. Yeah, they believe it's just for show, but I believe they are going to communicate their feelings at some point, right? Perhaps in a near-death experience, like Will and Tessa in the cave.
Everyone thinks Matthew will die (and parallel Jem, somehow), but what if James died? It would be too depressing, but it's a possibility, since anyone in the story is in danger... and it would be unexpected. Even then, I don't think Cordelia would do like Tessa and marry the 'other guy':
1) She doesn't love Matthew like he wants her to. 2) She would never be with a person AGAIN and feigning her feelings, especially since she knows about Matthew's situation. I don't think she would do that to him. That is, being with him just because James is dead. Matthew deserves someone who loves him for who he is, not to be someone's second choice. It's true, he shares some personality traits with Will, but Will wasn't a second choice. Tessa loved Will. Cordelia could never love Matthew the way she loves James. This applies to James as well, if Cordelia were to perish. Again, like I said above, they don't seem like the type to 'settle down' when the one they love, dies, or they think the love is not reciprocated. Cordelia is trying to do that, according to the CoT synopsis, yeah. But it's going to fail, we all know that.
Now, I hope no one dies in CoT (I think someone will die, tho), but remember it's all up in the air. I believe James may also accept Belial's proposal and end up in hell, and in a way he doesn't die but his soul is lost forever and this is why someone in the later books says that 'they tried to save James but he was lost' or something. I can see Jesse's possession in CoI be a foreshadowing for what's to possibly come for James in CoT. He said he's damned in CoG, half joking, but what if he really becomes a demon/damned? This would also be a parallel with Tessa. Tessa 'turned' into an angel in CP2, James could turn into the opposite. I talked about that in this post as well, you may want to check that out.

Do you believe in the Will dying next season theory? Like, having to sacrifice himself for the gates to close fully?
I think it would be a terrible writing decision, like... yeah, everyone gets a happy ending, but one of our main queer characters dies after suffering the entire show? I think it would be horrible
I like the idea of "Stranger Things started with Will's suffering, and it will end with his happiness" that I've seen go around, because I think that would be so beautiful, especially if there is more stuff regarding his sexuality next season and him learning to fully accept himself, and if he actually does start dating Mike, because it shows how queer kids have a place among others
In a show all about people who are seen as "other", and who are mistreated due to that... I can't see them killing off Will, a character who thinks he is a mistake even though he is surrounded by people who are also seen as different... what would the point of it be?
I think Will should get the chance to give Vecna hell for all he has put him through, and live his life after that in as much peace and happiness as he can get
hi! i hope you're doing well<3
to answer your ask, i am highly against the idea of will dying/sacrificing himself in season 4…and by against i mean i disagree very strongly with it. i remember (pre-volume 2) watching a tiktok where a person thought that the show would come full circle by will sacrificing himself because according to them, "it started with will so it will end with will". i highly, highly disagree with this. i don't think it would narratively make sense (will touch more on this in a minute), plus there are many other ways that will's arc (and the overall narrative) can come full circle without involving his death or sacrifice. for example, there's the very compelling idea that the show started with will's suffering and will end with his happiness (will go a bit deeper into that soon). i genuinely just can't see the duffers killing will off…there are just too many things that wouldn't make sense if they do that.
for instance, why would they put will through trauma every. single. season. only for him to die at the end? besides that, why would they build up will's feelings for mike for this long only for him to just end up dying…the narrative wouldn’t make sense and it sounds like it would be a huge waste of time and effort for them to do that.
will can and should get a happy ending…and i don't think anyone should be wishing anything else for him.
this is where the "will started with suffering and will end with happiness" idea comes in. it works so well, and to me makes a lot of sense. i've said several times before that the way they are slowly building up will's pain with every season will cause a great cathartic release when he finally has genuine happiness in season 5. in a show where every season one character faces severe trauma and never gets a moment of uninterrupted happiness, it would make sense for the last season to be the outlier - the season where everything comes to an end.
plus, a lot of the cast members have said, if i am not mistaken, that they are excited for the ending of the show and that it will have a "schitt's creek ending" (which, if you haven't watched the show, is a very happy ending). so, why would they be saying this if will's story ends up being extremely tragic? i just don't see it happening.
of course, there would also be the issue of blatant homophobia if he does end up dying…because he is a lead queer character and is the only one who repeatedly suffers each season and never gets a second of uninterrupted, genuine happiness. and if he ends up being rejected by mike and the only one in the party with no s.o - it would just be homophobia at that point. queer characters deserve happiness. they deserve to get what they want. they deserve main character arcs. what they don't deserve is to face constant trauma every season with no payoff. they don't deserve to get accustomed to rejection in any way. and they certainly don't deserve to be sidelined so much to the point that the show's creators forget the character’s birthday for no reason.
if will dies in season 5, we can and we should call the duffers out on it.

Fucking bitch is still alive. Unfortunately.
And the fallout from the failed suicide has really been awful and made me deeply wish I didn't fuck it up.
More people making fun of and bullying me, accusations of staging my suicide (really?), my property vandalised, I now experience gag reflex in response to any pill that I see because I've taken about 100 according to doctors, which later made me throw up for hours, and most likely losing my job on attendance grounds (subject to appeal).
I haven't had the strength to do anything to myself because I'm too weak physically. And it's so easy to fuck it all up turns out.
Petrol burns your skin and nether regions in ways that I didn't expect, and instead of setting myself on fire I ran around frantically and tore off my dress in panic.
Tying up rope takes a while and you've really got to account for the height, because first tie was far too low (so my feet would touch the ground), and the second was too high, meaning I had to faff about with pulling a big tree root to be able to prop myself up, but everything turned out to be so time consuming, a pair of dog walkers ran into me and I then knew everything was over.
Seeing your Mum cry is horrible. Even when She's hurt you in the past, it was still sad. Although having to live with Her now, I've remembered why we're not compatible and get on each other's nerves. Nothing has changed and She's too stuck in Her ways. I know I won't be able to function for too long having been lured to live under the same roof again.
Reading this blog again though, ensured I realise that there's no way out of this. You must keep your word and promise. No ifs or buts, bitch. Even if my Love has let me down in some ways, I've let Her down more. I've now learned some crucial things that I didn't know before, of course when it's too late. And they make me feel so fucking guilty. My friend who gets annoyed whenever I defend Her needs to stop his jealousy-fuelled moaning. You're another person who tried to turn me against Her. You're the one who tried to convince me She wanted me dead (!), and this is one of the things that really hurt Her when I said it in anger. He insists what a bully She is, but have you ever considered the second side of the story? Lol no cause you're biased as heck, so just give it a rest.
Apparently if I was really suicidal I'd have neglected my job, so now I have and I'm sacked. Appeal was sort of on autopilot and peer pressure, but really that should be the final straw as to why I go and die. Why are you so fucking weak? What are you waiting for? When your money runs out?
Ironically I'm going on a booked non-refundable holiday on an island in days. Hopefully I find a lighthouse accessible to public or another good hazard to throw myself off from. I haven't tried jumping from heights as a method of harm before. Since tablets and hanging failed, maybe this won't…… Just need to make sure it doesn't close early like it was the case that turbulent Sunday…… And when I disappeared people thought I went home! Haha, now it goes to show nobody knows a damn thing about me. Absolutely nothing.
Remember what I've said before, if I fail, I will try it again. Better fucking do it right though to spare everyone more suffering, including me, and so I don't ultimately get locked up in an asylum, as that'd be fate worse than death. So the race against time is on. Remember it bitch. Remember of the relief you leaving will bring. Monster abusers like you deserve to burn in hell, and I'll make sure of it. The correct punishment for hurting my Love is death. So you ought to pay.

friendly reminder that not only did communism and socialism not work, but it is also INCREDIBLY insensitive to many people in countries that are/were communist and had to ESCAPE, not emigrate but ESCAPE the country so that they had better lives.
sure, capitalism is also shit and I wish that we could live in a society where everyone was equal and no one was filthy rich.
and not the 1% btw, the one percent isnt actually fully rich. 1% of people is still in the millions to ten millions, these are usually higher middle class/working class people. for context, according to this, 0.5% of adults in the united states identify as trans, while 1.4% of young people identify as trans. And we know, as a society, that there are MILLIONS of trans people, so if trans people are only in the lower percentages, then maybe the one percent isnt as small as you'd think. The real, filthy rich people are in the 0.0001% of the population. and that number is so small it's often harder to tax. The problem is that these people earn more than the entire rest of the population.
The problem with communism and socialism? you are putting everything into the hands of the government. Communism is a dictatorship. And in most countries with dictatorships, they're not only never truly evenly spreading money, rather distributing most to a select few and leaving almost all of the rest poor; but as it's a dictatorship, most of the time (if not all) they ban things like religion - ALL religions, not just judaism, islam, sikhism, paganism or other religions, but also religions like catholicism, and all versions of christianism. not to mention homosexuality, being trans, alternative, as well as A LOT of media censorship. People in countries like that often get KILLED for saying anything against the government. Communism isn't your gay little perfect society fantasy that you want it to be, it's just as much if not even more of a dystopian hellscape.
please PLEASE look into what happens/happened in countries that are/were communist. And please, consider why so many people in these countries struggle/struggled, why so many die/died, why so many starve/starved. There is a reason it doesn't work. Be considerate of the survivors and sufferers. The people that push this want you to believe that it'd be a perfect little life, nothing ot worry about because it's what everyone wants. Everyone wants a perfect little life to enjoy. That is propaganda, do not listen. Any time someone says they have something to make society 'perfect' they are usually wrong, there will always be problems in society. We can only do our best to make these problems less prevalent, but problems can never be fully eliminated.
I am not, however, saying that we should go into a fully capitalist society either. We can also very clearly see how that's going wrong, with the lack of healthcare in the USA and things like that.
(Side note from a brit, wtf USA? everytime we hear about how you guys have it and how normal it is i just think like wtf, that's normal? like sure the NHS is being fucked over, but at least we have some form of healthcare. you guys are really living in a dystopian nightmare, not just healthcare but everything else as well.)
in my opinion, the true solution is a mix of the two, mix the parts that work to eliminate the parts that don't. Tax the mega rich more. Bezos and musk and all those people do NOT deserve as much money as they have. take those taxes and give the poor free healthcare, housing and basic necessities, better and cheaper education for everyone. Sure in these societies you'll still have the rich, but the rich will be less rich and the poor less poor. You have a more even playing field, which helps to also break the cycle of poverty. Just look a bit at germany or even the UK, yes we have our own societal problems, but the USA is just SO much worse in comparison. I am also fully willing to civilly discuss these opinions, also if anything isn't clear or you want me to go more into depth, I am also very willing to/
(side note, your opinions should ALWAYS be changing, they're formed by facts. Learning new facts should make you either just add another building block to the building, or if it doesn't really fit, maybe re-evaluate your building and find a new place for the block to go. Or just throw it in there and acknowledge that your building has it's faults and problems. You can't just chuck a block to the side and claim that your foundations are the sturdiest when they are so obsolete that they are almost crumbling to dust.)
But when you're living in a society where if you're puking your guts out, you just deal with it and hope you don't die because the hospital bills are gonna leave you in eternal debt; a country where just getting an education puts you in life debt, i'm not too surprised that people are craving radical change. That they look for any way out.
also fun fact, finland was just GIVING the homeless houses, and guess what? when people don't have to worry about their next meal, if they're gonna live through the winter, they can finally start worrying about working and build a happier and better life. SUCH a big shock /s

TW: trauma dumping, toxic rant, really needed to rant and be toxic for a sec (or many seconds)
It's kinda unfair that having abusive parents/being abused in your childhood immediately means you don't deserve love later in life because you're simply too broken to be loved and would end up being a burden to others.
And it's just like "those people with emotional burdens and trauma should go to therapy" but like otherwise if you still have x disorder or are still traumatized you don't deserve it (???) bc having to love someone as broken and unhealthy as you wouldn't be fair to the other person. The only way you get to interact with people is if you are fully healed and over whatever thing you went through.
"no one should have to parent their partners/friends"
And I get that but at the same time...
At the same time it's like... What if I don't want to get over my trauma? What if I can't?!
BELIEVE ME IF I COULD I WOULD. It's not like I choose to have flashbacks everytime there's a loud booming noise or a certain word being used, and I HATE having nightmares on a daily basis that consist of my family making my life a living hell.
I know I'm not entitled to anyone "loving" me or anyone's affection, but at the same time this narrative that people have to be perfect and "healed" and "healthy", and if it's not it's toxic, is so frustrating because...
How about all the times they told me it was in my natal chart that no one would ever love me because of my zodiac signs and shit and that they felt sorry for whoever had the displeasure of meeting me and even more for whoever had to tolerate me as a romantic partner in the future???
Well I didn't ASK my parents to abuse me as much as they might say so. The time they locked me outside when it was raining bc I was being a "whiny bitch" so I should just "sleep outside like a dog" and was "asking" for it wasn't bc I wanted to be a toxic person in the future. Nor the times my parents locked me in my room for two days and kept me from "eating" as a punishment, or when they sat me down for HOURS to show me videos of starving children in Africa and telling me it was my fault they were starving because I was a picky eater, or the times they decided they needed to take their anger out on something and they chose me so at best I got slapped or the "chancla" and at worst they threatened to use a belt on me and asked me to get on my knees and lift my shirt so that they could whip me with it and it could "hurt" properly so I could learn what a huge nuisance I was, nor the time my grandpa kept sexualizing me and rubbing my thigh ever since I was 12 and when I started pulling away from him bc it made me uncomfy even though I didn't know what was happening everyone chose to demonize me and call me schizophrenic for being "so mean" to him.
What about all the times my brother literally TRIED TO KILL ME?!?!? Bc our parents were so neglectful and he didn't know how to deal with jealousy so he wanted to get rid of me such as once almost drowning me in a pool by tying me down, or when he threw a chair at my head, nearly chopped my finger with a door and landed me in the hospital, or another time when he tried to push me off a cliff when we were hiking?; or more simply the time he got all my friends to turn on me on MY BIRTHDAY and humiliated me so they started beating me up and after that day I started getting bullied relentlessly in school too?
I also didn't CHOOSE TO HAVE MY BEST FRIEND DIE OF FUCKING CANCER WHEN I WAS 12, OR MY OTHER GRANDPA DIE THE DAY OF MY GRADUATION!
Or what about this, the time we had to choose to put my 14 year old dog down when I was 17 and all the responsibility fell on me because my parents couldn't decide??? According to my mom I was a monster for delaying the inevitable and keeping my dog alive and suffering, while according to my dad I was a monster if I chose to put her down bc she was "his" dog and I would be killing her.
Nononono let's go bigger here shall we?!?
Oh also! Did I mentioned that my father disowned me before I even came out bc overall I'm such a disgrace and embarrassment to them?!?
How about all the times my parents have told me I owed them for all the money they have put into feeding me and raising me? And the fact that I haven't been able to pay them back EVEN THOUGH I'M 21, and the fact that I chose a shitty career is further proof that I'm a failure?!? Even though according to them I FUCKING SUCK AT EVERYTHING I DO AND AM A DISGRACE AND DISAPPOINTMENT TO EVERYONE?!? Like when I had my last piano recital and moments before it my dad promised to give me a "good well deserved beating" when we got home after that because he found out I was suicidal and I was such an entitled brat for that.
What about all the times my mom complained about me having ruined her life and told me about how much she wanted to leave my dad and how sexless their marriage was, but she stuck around because of me so it was MY FAULT, and other times she told I was the reason she wanted to divorce him and have nothing to do with us (bc I was so intolerable and she hated living with me) bc again I was such a bitch so it would be MY FAULT if my parents got a divorce?!? Bc either way I ruin lives? Whether they stayed together or not IT WAS MY FAULT SOMEHOW. Oh yeah that brings me to... ALL THE TIMES MY FUCKING FAMILY HAS ASKED ME TO KILL MYSELF!!! My mom once even put a knife in my hand and told me to do it, another time my grandma started insulting me and telling me how I just ruined everyone's lives and make everyone around me miserable so I should do everyone a favor and kill myself already, save them the trouble of having to put up with me more.
But sure I asked them to do this! When I was born I asked them to fucking traumatize me!
The reason they treated me like this is bc I made them right?! Which is not fair bc I didn't even fucking choose to be born! And I didn't CHOOSE to get raised like this!
Nor the fact that everything they did to me still haunts me to this day.
And Oh believe me, I've been to therapy... 7 THERAPISTS!!!!! FOR YEARS!!!! and even the fucking therapists have either gaslit me, taken my family'd side or told me it was my fault I was abused because I let them etc and the reason I wasn't "over it" was because I wasn't trying "hard enough"!
LIKE WHAT THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THAT?!?!?
So the fact that others got to grow up in a loving family and I didn't and therefore people like me are inherently unlovable for that is just... Unfair to me and makes me even more depressed :/
Like... I didn't fucking CHOOSE to be traumatized or have so many disorders that make me "toxic" and "unfit" to interact with people

Midori’s fear and why it doesn’t make any sense
I absolutely love Midori, okay. I ADORE him. He's one of the best written villains I encountered in few recent years and I'm not even joking. And trust me as a villains fanatic I saw many, many weird souls along the way so I know what I’m saying.
Don't get me wrong, he's absolutely terrible. He's walking, breathing (??) human garbage who deserves thousands of painful deaths but I can't help but find him so damn fascinating as a villain.
Like this dude has no reason whatsoever (or at least none we know about) to be the way he is. The only backstory we know about really is how he killed people since his school days.
Tumblr media
He's this funky, little dude with childish behavior who you need to satisfy on every occasion or he will straight up kill you without blinking an eye. What I am even saying: he will kill you regardless! That's what all fun is about, right?!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Like this dude traumatized Keiji, Reko, Alice and most importantly Shin to the point he isn't able to trust anyone - mostly Sara who he sees as strong just like he sees Midori because of her highest win rate from the very beginning.
Tumblr media
Not only that but the whole famous talk about "do you know what majority vote is" at the beginning of the game within few seconds with shadow Shin is a HINT of his impact on Shin's psyche, because that's exactly how his first trial went. Not to mention constant "ahaha" is like confirmation it's Midori talking trough Shin's consciousness.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He'll laugh his ass off on your suffering. He will traumatize you on every occasion. Tire you up not only mentally but also psychically as he experimented on thousands of people before and KNOWS what will make you hurt the most. And since he’s a sadist he won’t be holding back. He’ll also kill everybody you care for.
Tumblr media
So... what I'm saying is.. I absolutely... ABSOLUTELY I'm telling you refuse to believe that this dude - this fucking walking nightmare of a demon - is afraid of something lame like DEATH. Because.... WHAT??
He cut his arms off without hesitation (and is so proud about it too! Like “yeah, I did cut off my limbs, so what?")
Tumblr media
and attached them to Mai just so he can make her disgusted with herself and have small laugh about it when she’ll realize it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
He cut out his own damn HEAD to change it for a doll one. ("Ehehe! I gave up my humanity!")
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
He also wanted to be in a Death Game on his own free will where death is almost certain for everybody and you're telling ME he is afraid to die?? Cutting his own head is near death experiance, what do you even mean bro??
Tumblr media
I get it. Nankidai probably thought that he can't be too OP. He probably wanted him to have some weakness or wanted to give some ending for everybody (be it characters inside the game or us the players) where they can feel satsfaction from Midori breaking up mentally but as satisfactory as it was for me I couldn't help but be salty about it too to some degree. And the more I think about it the more it doesn't make sense, especially when you'll take into consideration what kind of villain Midori really is.
If Nan wanted to go that way I would prefer for Hiyori to bitch about how lame his death is gonna be so LOUD that even Miley would hear him from the first floor, slammed that button for elevator for 4th floor and bitch slap him SO HARD in front of everyone (bonus points if his head would spin bc of her strenght) so she can just finally shut him up. Cause isn't it what besties are supposed to do?? Yes, make him pathetic if you want, just do it in his character. That would be better outcome than current one I swear.
Tumblr media
Because for me Midori is that type of dude who would love to commit suicide and go with the bang, make his death absolute show for everybody around, traumatizing all the people who would be unlucky enough to witness it and to die with a goddamn smirk on his face rather than pathically begging Maple to spare him.
Tumblr media
Not to mention he messed with her and her program HIMSELF. He's supposed to be a genius: sociopathic human researcher that - according to Shin - knows everything. You won't convince me he didn't see that coming one way or another. He must have known that he was only holding Maple back for some time and that’s it. I also like to imagine that Shin was talking about him so highly just because he didn’t see anyone as smart as Hiyori before and in reality Midori is just some idiot when it comes to the most obvious things.
Tumblr media
I won’t even mention the banquet because we all know how that ended. Don’t make me start cause I want to hold onto some of my sanity for now.
 I'm so mad, you just don't understand. *shakes Midori hard* Sir, tell me you were lying, that will make me sane again.
Yeah so anyway I love Midori but that one trait of his doesn’t make sense at ALL.

BNHA 310 Chapter rambling
Man, it’s been so long since my last try to analyze this mess pretending to be funny.
Let’s have one more go!
So from the first page Hori puts us in a dark “Batman vs Superman” vibe atmosphere. Rainy season is a bitch.
Are these dudes heroes or vigilantes or just citizens who pretend they care? Poor giant girl. Stomp on them, you have all the rights.
Tumblr media
It’s a bird, it’s a plane... it’s Superman!
Deku is just like “ok fellas, how about you back off?” And they are “ok man, jeez, no need to be rude”
What a caring little bun. A true gentleman. I’d have a crush if I was this lady.
Tumblr media
I don’t have guts to joke about sugar daddy, I’m sorry.
Seriously tho, during his 40 years of work, I imagine AM has like 30 cars like that. Deku, you lucky bastard. Not only caring but awfully rich dad. Score!
WHO ALSO MAKES YOU FOOD. He enrolled in cooking class after retirement.
Deku even looks like his mini copy.
Tumblr media
Hello to my fav hellboy. I’ve missed this dude.
Yep, no progress here. I kinda really curious what the villains up to rn. I like how Deku separated Dabi in his own category 👀
“I doubt Endeavor with Aizawa together...” so not Hawks, not BJ (like the ones from top three) but Aizawa. Thanks, sir. Dadzawa deserves to be listed among the strongest ones!
I don’t even want to cut this frame.
Tumblr media
Like we clearly can see panic, and that he’s scared. That the weight of responsibility is pretty damn hard to carry.
But this makes me wonder about todo and baku again. Like Izuku is ok to trust Top 3, to rely on ofa tea party but left those two behind in order to protect? Well, I’m sure as hell they didn’t took that lightly.
Welp, with those two out of the picture we still need our gay tension so here we go!
Tumblr media
My heroes 👀 mhm, ok.
Oops, awkward. Not only bnha fandom caught up, but the whole bunch of guys on their pompous chairs are ready to facepalm. 6th rolled his eyes, I’m telling you.
Tumblr media
Hahah, have I said that I absolutely adore that gremlin of the ofa squad? Because I do.
It reminds me of Todo family dinner and Bakugou screaming to send it back to normalcy. Nice move!
Tumblr media
Oh come on, we all know how it works. Turn around and let Yoichi drag you in the battle. It’s the power of lo... friendship!
On a serious note, I like how the 2 and 3 don’t just jump on the bandwagon. They doubt it and their reasoning is valid.
Tumblr media
He has a point, ok?!
I can’t go and leave the elephant in the room. I KNOW HE LOOKS LIKE BAKUGOU.
I’m still gonna die on the hill of denial. Numbers in names thing, his general vibe, Deku without a hint of recognition, this time travel trope being stupid as fuck... you name it.
But thanks, now a have a vivid image of adult Baku for future fics. Yay.
Anyhow, doesn’t prevent me to put him in my number one place from ofa holders. It’s just my type.
Tumblr media
Oh, sweet sweet parallels. For me as I see it, it’s a hint on bkdk in the past, also Shigaraki and Deku. Everyone deserves a hand. To be saved.
Also it’s a hint on bkdk 3. This time tho it’s gonna be Bakugou. Extending hand with “you’re not alone, stupid nerd”. He’s gonna be a true hero, and I’m gonna cry a sea of proud tears.
Not only that, it’s a declaration of friendship. Like back then, according to Deku, Bakugou would only accept Kirishima’s hand- bc they are equals and bc they are friends.
BNHA IS ABOUT HANDS HOLY SHIT.
Todo and Enji, Bakugou and Midoriya, now this... TOO SOFT JUST THE WAY I PREFER.
Tumblr media
Ok this is my favorite frame this week.
They are so badass, ready to kick asses but then you look closely and see the bento box, lol.
Poor kiddo, no time for self-care.
“Shut up, food first!” Kageyama, you’re right as always!
In conclusion, I want to say, Hori pls give me my boys back already, I’m afraid I can’t suffer any longer. Also despite Deku’s gauntlets I still anticipate some kind of drawback. This top3 squad is doomed to fail.
Also 2,3 guys better not have quirks even slightly similar to Todo and Baku ones.

Do you think Hitler is one of the few people who truly deserves eternal Hellfire? Not trying to lay some devious trap or anything, just genuinely curious.
I've actively thought about this while contemplating the concept and implications of hell.
It's tempting to say, yep, he's the exception who deserves eternal hellfire.
But once you do that, it leaves open the justification for his lieutenants. And their subordinates. And their subordinates.
Where and with whom are we going to draw the line? How far down the rabbit hole are we going to go?
There's a video by TheraminTrees that comes to mind:
I realised the idea of hell was moronic.
Dividing the entire human population into just two groups — one going to hell, the other going to heaven — on the basis of what gods they believed in? So all those who’d dedicated their lives tirelessly to humanitarian pursuits but had been raised to believe in Hindu gods deserved eternal torture?
That was plainly immoral. Any just system should judge everyone fairly on their individual deeds.
But that was incompatible with a binary system like heaven and hell. You couldn’t divide people into either good or bad. Human morality was a spectrum, with folk stretching across every part it. I imagined everyone who’d ever existed standing in a row from good to bad with the person on the right marginally more good; the person on the left fractionally more bad. How could you draw a dividing line — a cut-off point between the two sides, where one side went to hell, the other to heaven? It was absurd.
Tumblr media
Wherever you drew the line it would be between two people with a virtually identical moral score. The difference between them might be a single deed. And yet one would be destined for eternal torture and the other eternal paradise.
The irony was that many of my fellow Christians had spoken of hell as the ultimate justice for those who escaped it in the Earthly life. But hell was about the most pathetic parody of justice imaginable. Yahweh should’ve been a moral genius. But the dichotomy of hell and heaven displayed the black-and-white thinking of an infant.
In this hypothetical, where I've been given the authority and ability to send Hitler there, he would certainly be on the extreme end of the "bad" side, destined for eternal torment.
But of course, there's no Xianly basis for this. He was acting out of Xian faith, certain that his god wanted this, and he would be rewarded. Whether salvation by faith - he was devout, rejecting blasphemy and sacrilege (per Matthew 12:31-32) - or salvation by works - he spoke extensively about how “the movement’s goal was to translate the ideals of Christ into deeds," and “the movement would complete the work which Christ had begun but could not finish.”
“Hence today I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord.”
Hitler's god would welcome him into paradise with open arms.
The reality is that I do regard this entire system as being astonishingly immoral. I prefer to take a consistent position on that, and be consistent with my ethics.
I also remember that Xians who threaten me with hell, or say stupid things like "you'll find out when you die and come face to face with your maker" are actually gleeful about the prospect of another human suffering excruciating agony forever. Even though it’s complete nonsense. I don't like the thought of myself being of the same stripe as them, no matter the justification.
So, even though it's tempting to make an exception, I'm more inclined to stick with my principles and reject and repudiate the entire thing outright. Not for his benefit, but for mine.
He's dead. With no afterlife, no heaven or hell, he never got the glory his Xian faith promised him, nor the punishment that flies in the face of the doctrine of that faith.
Let him be wormfood, as we remember what he did so that it never happens again.
