Well, finally the end, for real this time.
"Spoiler" after the cut
So yeah, with that me spaming the tags with this has finally come to an end, as has this weird experiment, even if it may not worked out - still glad that I did it and think some things were cool, so maybe somebody else feels the same?
But other wise, wanna thank @an-archaic-archivist for rebloging my stuff, even when it got unhinged, I appreciate it, even if may be hard to believe.
And in general, even if I probably am too different to most online communities to really "belong" or not turn to contrarianism, I'm thankfull for all the people that said or wrote interesting stuff, and I'm sorry if parts of the videos were probably assholish - in the end thats the struggle of trying to interact with people one is really different from, while thinking if the mask is not more hurtfull and dishonest than any word or oppinion - eh hard to say what I mean.
So for real this time, sorry for anybody I bothered or annoyned, but I think instead of groveling I'm just gonna do my thing with the mindset expressed in the video, of being positve and not fucking with people for no reason yet still saying what I think even if that could "jeopardize my meager audience" lol
Anyways, guess with that this Blog specifically is mostly done - well not really, prolly gonna post stuff like another playlist, a compilation of all the parts, other videos that aren't related to the iceberg, or even to soul eater, etc - but still it is what it is.
But yeah, also finally going get back to the comic, so for the -38billion of you - get ready...
Oh also, here is the full iceberg - the empty space is to insert your own positive revelations that you got from soul eater:
Anyways, enough of the "yeah sorrys", gonna end with my other stolen catchphrase: God Bless, and, Love Everybody, even people that don't vote lol.

Wow, they elected the first pope from the united states? thats crazy, even changed up the colours of the garments to better reflect the national beverage of coca cola
With the recent "news" of Ohkubo actually having a child, it made me think - even after recently being reminded of some kinda messed stuff Ohkubo contributed to - about the negative reading I and many others shared about Fire Force's ending, it's telos to be more pretentious.
Guess spoilers if you care for that
So a common interpretiation is that the ending of Fire Force is kinda a retreat into nostalgia, going backwards into the comforting fantasy of Soul Eater, both for the readers and the author "oh remember 2008, everything was so much easier..."
Especially with how the series started as a kinda direct spiritual sequel to SE - with picking right up from the DWMA graduation, making Shinra a fresh recruit to the workforce, basically looking like Soul without his teenage rebelion white hair. It ending with "oh actually this is a prequel" felt like some Freudian return to the womb, like being scared of growing up and facing the "despair" it so wanted to say something meaningful about.
Yet maybe all the talk about not fearing death and the continuation of Shinra's legacy in both direct children and distan future ancestors was not as empty as thought - because if he actually changed his life in a way where he could start a commited relationship with something that lead to an actuall family with kids (not just two netfix watcher with a cat or something lol) - then it may make sense.
Then "making death closer" is the realization of that even if you die you continue on in your children, that you life for them, thus why fear for your own existence, it becomes secondary (well acording to some parents atleast) - even the turning of the world into one full of magical bullshit could be seen as both as experiencing magic again with the birth of a child and the childishness with which one has to explain the world to a knew person (like calling a device that shows time "Mr Clock" etc)
Basically seeing family as an adventure, and the world that Shinra created not being one of some endless DnD campaign to do while the real world rots around you but as something meaningful, even in it's absurdity - like some people say "what can a kid change, they will make your life hell and eventually hate you like you do your parents".
If one stretches, one could then justify the weird focus on sex. Even if porn seems to be the opposite of creating a family in my view - yet if Ohkubo's child was born recently, maybe that was his own juvenile view that know will be transformed by the realities of actually caring about another child and realising, better late than never: "Man maybe drawing the underpants of a 12 year old girl kinda is not the best thing to do?"
Damn.
Anyways, all the kinda hard allegations aside, guess I'll just congratulate Ohkubo for crawling out of his own hole of despair - maybe naively, because of course having children often can bring even larger problems and depresion but let's be positive and hope for the best, redemption and life in all ways - and a personal apology for shitting on him, even if I still moraly disagree with a lot of stuff he did, but in the end grandstanding shouldn't lead to sadistic fantasys, even if it often is.
But if this all seems like a directionless ramble: yeah...sorry

So there is that whole personality typing thing called Myers Briggs, some call it Zodiac signs for people too emberassed to admit it, but basically I sometimes get interested in it for a day or two - and now with a I friend being especially into it I thought a bit more about the stuff (even if I still not sure how well I get it or how serious I take it, its mostly for fun)
So with the first preamble, now to the second - I had this kinda unfunny idea about "ENTP Crona", the joke being giving him an personality that is in many ways the opposite and seeing how it would reframe behaviour and shit. I mostly went from stereotypes and projecting and it was more cringe than funny but still
Yet the joke kinda became reality, after thinking about it more and seeing that maybe Crona actually fits this "type" more than it first seems:
So basically the stereotype of the ENTP is an argumentative asshole that says things to shock people just for the fun of it - and even it can be sometimes be partly true, that is more the case for retractively fitting "likeable asshole" charachters
But actually some of the traits of ENTP are more neutral - like one of them is brainstorming, seeing connections, and blabbering them out often without thinking
And this is a trait that Crona kinda seems to have - which also contradicts the whole "introvert" charachtetization
So lets get to the most controversial take - what if Crona is not introverted (by nature) - how can I say it? Does not Crona stuture when talking to others while hiding eyes and averting gazes? Isn't Crona the number one fan of corners? Who is the charachter with the catchphrase "I cant deal with x"
And yeah I get it, that sounds like the stereotypical "le internet introvert xd" behaviour - but couldnt it also be the behaviour of a traumatised child?
Like the earliest we see Crona is when Ragnarok got already melted down into him, so that alone is a very traumatic thing which would leave the bravest todler scared and disturbed. And after that Crona is shown to be just in a horrible situation till Maka reaches out.
So is it really surprising that Crona is scared in the corner of the dungeon room, that socializing with the others is a big deal?
But isnt it stranger how fast Crona actually adjusts? Like one look at the balcony basically turns a lot around, and after hanging out with a bunch of different people Crona is shown playing basketball and leaving the party in a very good mood (gaining energy not losing it from interactions? how interesting...)
Basically considering the child-soldier + isolation life Crona lived, he adjustes to a tottaly new enviroment with people that are all excentric quite quickly.
And then, Crona had the confidence and charisma to hold the speech at the end of the anime that explained what made Maka so special,.
But also one thing thats interesting is that Crona is quite oppinionated, even in ways that might cause frictions
The mostt infamous example is that when he listened to Maka talk about her mom, he had to break the fourth wall to express how weird and messed up Maka's family situation was, and thats coming from the child of the number one snake mom lol.
Yet the fact that this was the way to express a contrarian take ties in with the fact that ENTP people are actually people pleasers, even if they try to look like daredevil contrarians.
And this is in a way the real reason why Crona even betrayed the DWMA in the first place - he HAD to make his mom happy, how could he disappoint her, make her feel bad?
Yet what would all his friend think, especially Marie? How could he live after doing something so horrible to them.
Hence the sandhole, the literal hole Crona has dug himself into because of his actions that tried to make everyone happy, yet he knows that this is impossible - helping Medusa hurts everyone, yet how can he go against his mom, no matter how evil she is?
But I actually do not even need to argue it, Maka says it herself
(one could even say that the "your hurting my friend line could be a specific manipulation tactic my Maka, knowint that Crona's weakpoint is hurting and displeasing her - with the double punch of hurting her and someone that is valuable to her)
Anyways, to tie everything together, in this scene and many others one can also see Crona not only brainstorm, but also make logical arguments, even with the infamous "trusting others to not betray you, how dumb is that" - which even if said emotionally could show a behind the scenes truth finding aspect, because yeah sadly that is in a way true and without Makas courage Crona probably would not have internally the power to do this leap of faith.
Oh also ENTP are awkward in their movements and make expressive faces.
Anyways, dont that this seriously, because these are just some half remembered probably mixed up and bullshit thoughts on a "theorie" that is basically pseudo-science in the first place, so not like it matters.
Its more a demonstration of how one can easily make something fit into a schema, be it for fun or to make ideas and possibilities appear that may not if one just go with the consenus - maybe imagining a charachter like this gives both more possibilietis of development while making one see real world people in a more multi faceted way, idk
In the end its just for fun cause I thought eh why not post something in this group, especially when I'll probably go away for a week again, but lets see.
(also had manga based arguments too, but this was already going too long and maybe making the case wirh only using the anime is more compeling than cherry picking from too many sources - one could say that this all truelly only applys to the english dub boy Crona, hence why I wrote "he" everywhere)
the backstory of this "piece" was as a kind of April Fool's joke, basically saying that an questionable mobile game promo-art thing was mixed up and THIS was the real one, eh I founded it to be a light hearted thing but who knows?
also think this was supposed to be like a smash bros promo art or something idk, had to repurpose me doodling somehow

randomly watched some indie animation pilot, and it had "black blood" as a plotpoint - think Soul Eater is relevant enough to get referenced/influence something like that?
