The common consensus as of ch4 was that Berdly saw the world as his personal dating sim, with the girls and Kris as his potential love interests.

And this isn’t entirely wrong, as his brief appearance in ch5 aligns with the idea of a typical dating sim before Noelle and Susie set him straight on the fact they aren’t straight.

But what Berdly’s doing isn’t exactly your typical generic dating sim MC boy behavior… it’s something far more confusing.

To start with, here’s this line from ch4.

I don’t know how else to convey what I mean, so cue the Miles Edgeworth again.

If you still don’t get it… Berdly is the one asking for someone else to be his support.

So that’s not a pickup line.

That's a cry for help.

This would normally be just another instance of Berdly unintentionally describing someone else in a way that fits him far better (see also: “a poor girl with no one to show her exclusive tips and tricks”, “so tsundere and confusing”, “heart beeping for love”, etc.)

But wait, there’s more!

If you accept the festival invite and continue this over in ch5, Berdly sets up the event so that the lover that impresses him the most would be the date.

That… isn’t something a self insert protag does. That’s something the girl they are trying to woo does.

I don’t think Berdly realizes it yet, but the second his dating sim view of relationships gets reinforced, he starts placing himself in the position of the girl you are trying to date, not the MC.

You probably don’t notice it in the moment because you’re more likely to assume Berdly sees himself as the MC boy of the dating sim, considering it’s him plus the girls, and also Kris.

But by having him as the one you’re supposed to impress, he’s placed Kris, Noelle and Susie where the MC would be…

which is exactly what ends up happening within the Pink battle (with Ralsei there ofc)

…meaning Berdly is the Mew Mew in this situation.

And please note that not only does Berdly reference the Doki mechanic of the Pink battle, and being “a puppet monarchy who promotes the love of two girls”, but the Hatsune Miku vocals of the battle heavily allude to the weird route.

Oh, and the Switch trailer initially features Mew Mew frozen in an iceberg.

In conclusion, let me restate my point:

"People back then always married young it's natural!!!" Every single 1800s guide I've ever met casually mentions that, of course, you really shouldn't get married before you're at least 20, and waiting until 25 is usually better.

Or, like. Okay here's a long segment:

Just firmly going "it is crazy sexist to blame The Wife for overspending when thirty seconds of asking questions will immediately establish that her husband was outright lying to her about how much money they had. Talk to your wife like a normal person."

Or--okay, here. A section on being honest and not writing love letters in secret, because that's usually a good sign that there's something untoward going on....

....except that he then immediately acknowledges that sometimes, the reason you're hiding this from your parents is that your parents suck. That there are parents who frankly have not earned the right to approve or disapprove of your partner.

"Men and women being friends with each other is literally normal. Don't be a controlling freak."

"If you have to abuse a child to keep order in your classroom then you're a bad teacher."

when the Horrors come in while we’re napping: its so fucking over :(

There are SIX questions total in reblogs, the end will be marked by large green text. If you don’t see all six, check reblogs and grab the version with the ending note.

Answers amended from the 2025 census based on feedback. If you’re mixed, choose what feels right to you I’m not here to do phrenology or paper bag test you but don’t make it my problem either. When in doubt, ask yourself: would the whites kill you too in the race war?

This census is US-centric because so is tumblr, unfortunately. This poll is also starting with a heavy Black/racialized bias due to my personal followers. The main point of this census is to see how white-dominant the site is currently compared to prior years, as well

For the purpose of this census, Imperial Core will be defined as the following: United States, Canada, Australia, Aotearoa, basically all of Western Europe, Japan, and Israel. If you want to argue about any of these designations, too bad maybe they should stop colonizing.

Note for clarification:

*For those who don’t know, TMA means transmisogyny affected (such as trans women, some non-binary people, etc.) whereas TME means transmisogyny exempt (Cis men, cis women, transmasculine individuals, etc). If you want to ask for clarification for which applies to you for the purposes of this poll, feel free to ask and I’ll try to reply, but if you try to argue or quibble about the terms themselves, I’ll block you.
