Oatmealzz - Inconsistent

Mahiru had such potential with everyone.

Confession: I think Hajime, Mahiru and Nagito have an amazing platonic chemistry and should have been the main trio in SDR2! Initially I just paired them together because they’re my top three characters in Danganronpa, but after thinking about it a bit they make so much sense to me… they struggle with similar problems but face it in different ways, it would be nice to see how their morals clash as they work together in investigations, class trials ecc ecc… they also have a lot of things in common & imo would bond over that too in someway,,, their palettes also kinda match, it’s a shame there is practically no content of them together…also imagine the comedic potential of their interactions..

FF7 REMAKE GIRLIES PLEASE

Don’t say you played the game if you only watched the cutscenes!

I’ll be talking about wind materia and the girlie I’m having a discussion with doesn’t know what I’m talking about 😭😭😭

Or they call every sword Cloud has the buster sword even though it’s not 😭😭😭

There are already stereotypes that girls don’t play games. Yes each game now is 100 CAD but at least watch the gameplay element.

Female gamers like myself sometimes want to have discussions with other female gamers about both gameplay and story. Video game discussion is already dominated by dudes and sometimes you just wanna say you struggled with a mini game because your nails were too long 😭😭😭

Firstly so sorry for the graphic image. I found this on the Danganronpa reddit. Also MAJOR DANGANRONPA V3 SPOILERS.

I feel like this very crudely drawn image of Kokichi’s dead crushed up corpse is the last piece I needed to fully accept his death.

Not being able to see the state of the body during the investigation, created a barrier for me to fully understand Kokichi’s exit out of the main story. It just felt like he “left” rather than died.

Additionally, none of the characters saw the dead body and that definitely had an impact on their attitude towards him. His death was brushed off because they also never got to see his dead body. Maki didn’t investigate the body and such. There was no opportunity to be traumatized but ample to refuel their hatred towards him. Remember when Nagito’s body was found? The characters wouldn’t stop talking about the stab wound and the spear. The graphic depictions of Nagito stabbing himself added to the nightmare fuel situation. Like SOMEONE did that to his body vibe. In this trial, that wasn’t discussed in a manner that resembled 2-5. Not being able to see the graphic nature of a body being crushed flat means the characters can avoid it. Again, put yourself in the situation you felt when you initially saw Kokichi’s death. Seeing his crushed body would absolutely impact your experience because it’s like DANG, WHO DID THIS?! Did he really deserve a death like that? And so on.

This is why his absence during the class trial wasn’t discussed to its extent such as with other characters. Imagine seeing the body and then going to the trial where the exisal was talking in his voice. It would be SUPER weird. LIKE I SAW HIS CRUSHED BONES AND ORGANS OUT ON THAT PRESS AND NOW IM HEARING HIS VOICE? I know for some people, not seeing the body meant that maybe both Kaito and Kokichi were alive and that they used another body to substitute a killing. After Monokuma revealed that it wasn’t possible to do so, I don’t remember anyone who acknowledged the body afterwards due to how the trial was going.

I’m no Kokichi Stan but I did warm up to his character pre-chapter 4. I always felt that his death and trial were lackluster and lacked needed impact. Personally, I thought the trial wasn’t very good but seeing a depiction of the body has changed my opinion on the trial.

Kaito also never saw Kokichi afterwards because he never lifted the press after it crushed him. Kaito doesn’t really have to carry the weight of the plan and his actions, because he never gets to see the honest result of them. Therefore, he was able to focus on the plan to foul Monokuma and stick to the script that a dead boy wrote. Personally, my entire view on Kaito would drastically change more if we both saw the state of the body. Like learning that Kaito killed Kokichi in the most violent way possible. This is no stab to the neck or strangulation where a character might crack a joke (throwback to Ryoma, Miu and even Nagito). I remember thinking that their plan failed because the gang ended up figuring out their scheme and there is a viewpoint that Kokichi’s plan failed. If it did, he died for nothing and in the most violently unnecessarily way possible too.

Danganronpa V3 had many victims where the remaining cast had a short mourning period for (Rantaro, Ryoma and Miu). Each student had different circumstances where the cast couldn’t comment too much on their dead peers. Rantaro distanced himself from others, and no one was particular close to Ryoma or Miu.

However, Kokichi was one where almost no one mourned his death.

It’s interesting for sure. I think more people mourned the losses of the culprits more than the victims.

Anyways - I recommend reviewing 3-5 again and seeing this image somewhere during the investigation. I promise, my opinion on 3-5 drastically improved afterwards.

Omg I thought they were best friends THE ENTIRE TIME. Didn’t even know they were dating and now I’m hearing from this app that they’re engaged.

"The big news this week is a good example of just such an opportunity for me - are they/aren’t they engaged?

Zendaya wearing a ring and Tom nowhere to be seen adding to the intrigue.

The engagement has now been confirmed and why I am writing about it here but without adding anything new and juicy like a date, venue, guest list…

Down the years, I have been showered with parenthood praise even though much of it has been fluke and happenstance more than any finely honed plan. And this I can demonstrate now by contrasting the different approaches of father and son to proposing marriage.

Tom, as you know by now was very incredibly well prepared.

He had purchased a ring.

He had spoken with her father and gained permission to propose to his daughter.

Tom had everything planned out…

When, where, how, what to say, what to wear…

I on the other hand was woefully ill-prepared, almost as though I wasn’t taking it seriously.

(...) For most blokes, the stress of purchasing an engagement ring is being able to afford it. I suspect that this was the least of Tom’s worries, more concerned with the stone, it's size and clarity, its housing, which jeweller

(...) which brings me to the newly engaged couple.

I do fret that their combined stardom will amplify their spotlight and the commensurate demands on them and yet they continually confound me by handling everything with aplomb.

And even though show-business is a messy place for relationships and particularly so for famous couples as they crash and burn in public and are too numerous to mention, with us an example, with Nikki helming this family and my ‘wisdom’ on tap and a study in getting things mostly wrong and yet somehow right at the same time, I am completely confident they will make a successful union."

Dom's blog about Tomdaya's engagement. 🥺

Honestly when I found out that Sakura x Sasuke became canon by the last chapter and read up on the lore, the entire time I thought may this love never find me 🫡

Naruto is fucking insane bc as someone who's never actually watched the anime, I'll have just THE gayest shit pop up on my dash of Sasuke and Naruto, and when I go "oh hey nice edit, this looks really good" I FIND OUT ITS CANON OFFICIAL MEDIA DIRECTLY FROM THE ANIME??? Insane. How did they get away with that.

Rebirth Date Spoilers

Yall if you got the Tifa date in chapter 12 - you’re gonna be pissed about what happens in chapter 13 and 14.

On a serious note, people have been so disingenuous about the Aerith vs Tifa dates. Both sides cherry picked specific lines from their respective date scenes to prove one side over another. When you look at the whole thing, it’s more complicated than that.

Additionally, if you’re purposefully rude to one girl during your gameplay because you hate the character, then I don’t think the outcome you got was the “intended” canon.

Cloud likes both girls and no, he wouldn’t treat one girl worse than the other “canonically” - you the player made it that way. The outcome that you got from doing that is what you wanted and that’s fine because it’s your play through of it - but it doesn’t mean it’s “canon” or else you will be so surprised in the last two chapters when Cloud gets a lot of screen time with one girl over the other.

I don’t mean this as just a dig at Tifa fans but I think her fans are more aggressive than Aerith fans, just from some peoples reactions to chapters 13 and 14.

This is an old throwback to that one frame during their first final valley fight. The one the animators kept redrawing for some reason.

Anyway looking at Naruto’s expression, I can tell that all those years/episodes of putting his life/goals at the time on hold and most importantly the potential world building, plot, konoha 12 and almost everything part 1/classic Naruto set up hostage JUST so Naruto can chase his man was worth ALL the pain and hardships - that him and the viewers both endured over 15 years.

Despite some “opinions” that perhaps obsessing and chasing a guy who publicly was too proud to admit he was Naruto’s friend, may not had been worth the countless tears and blood shed, Naruto doesn’t give a fuck and clearly feels so giddy and euphoric - because at the end of the day, he mostly got what he wanted and that’s Sasuke with him.

Naruto’s new official art?!?!?

WOAH

Final fantasy 16 thoughts and mild spoilers

Can’t believe there was never a moment in the game where Clive called his brother Josh. Would have been hilarious.

Also where did the Clive who was just as dotting as his mother go?

When Joshua came back, I thought Clive would do the whole big brother thing he did when he was 15 but then realize he can’t scold his adult brother anymore.

All I want is grown man Clive telling Joshua the silly times they had when they were kids. Fond memories of him and Joshua playing or something. Why don’t they share stories of their youth? The last time Clive saw his baby brother was when he was 10. No comments about his appearance or anything?
