1) casts high level dunamancy with absolutely NO regard for the safety of his allies. Like 3 kryn soldiers died from that sick black hole spell that ended up not even hurting trent, which is absolutely the kind of risky/selfish decision making essek would make at this point in the story

anyway if you get a comment like this, chances are that they are bot and their goal is to do whatever it takes to get you to delete your work, most certainly (from what I’ve heard) it’s because they want to “safely” steal your work, use it to train their ai without you being able to rightfully claim ownership of your work since “there’s no proof that the work was stolen/was posted elsewhere first by you” because the original source has already been deleted.

THEY ARE ALL BOTS. at first it was “ao3 is deleting fics and your entire account will be affected unless you delete the fics yourself” then it was “this work contains contents that are illegal and they have already reported you and your fic to the police” (yes, that’s how desperate these bots are), and now it’s this.

report their comments to ao3 for spam—in this case, specifically, I think you may be able to report them for harassment too—and don’t pay attention to them, most importantly don’t delete your works, don’t feel discouraged by their comments. remember that they are bots and they mass comment something like this on people’s works at random to get people to delete their works. (or even if they’re not bot, they are still pathetic bullies who don’t deserve your time or attention.)

Sugiki was raised in England. Suzuki was raised in Cuba. Both are still primarily living within those cultures even if they now live in Japan. They've assimilated to those cultures, that's what they know and are comfortable with. The only area where that doesn't work however is their appearance.

They cannot win the championships because they are visibly Asian. Neither of the dances they are partaking in are Asian so the dance community is racially prejudiced against them. Even they buy into that a bit as seen by how neither Sugiki and Suzuki have Japanese people in their makeup/hair stylist team. That's a concious or unconcious choice on their part layered with the belief that the best artists for the dance forms cannot be Japanese.

It is a clear representation of Asian diaspora trying to assimilate to the culture they have immigrated to, but unable to runaway from the fact that despite everything they do they can't escape their appearance which visibly marks them as the Other.
